PROJECT DETAILS

Top A tight array of narrow beam spotlights graze the belly of the shuttle, highlighting the burn marks from the heat endured during re-entry. Top right A 1:72 scale foam model of the shuttle is lit with different colours to mimic the imagery of the ‘Indigo Arc’; Paula Martinez-Nobles with the model.
LIGHTING SPECIFIED
Catwalk Lumenpulse Lumenbeam Large / Extra Large (2700K, 4000K, 5000K, Custom Blue, Blue, Amber LED), Philips Sportlite TDX
Extra Large) enhanced the dramatic effect known as the ‘Orbiter Reveal’ – when the guests see Atlantis for the first time – in person. At this moment you are in the Pre- Show theatre, you don’t know she is right behind the projection screen, at eyelevel. A theatrical lap dissolve transitions you out of the show, and suddenly she appears from behind the scrim. A 20ft tall x 100ft long LED screen behind the shuttle displays imagery of the ‘Indigo Arc’ – the instance in outer space when the sun appears to rise and illuminates the Earth’s atmosphere, rendering an indigo arc followed by a burst of amber before the sun fully appears. The colour changing LED fixtures crossfade from a deep blue to an amber burst, back to white within a three minute cue. The shuttle’s belly is a visual journal of her past missions. The reusable insulation tiles,
which are drastically different in shades of black and light gray, burn marks from the heat endured during re-entry, create a pat- tern similar to fish scales on the Orbiter’s belly. A tight array of 50 x 25 watt, 6 degree narrow beam spotlights (9” o.c.) graze the belly of Atlantis highlighting the re-entry scars.
The Space Shuttle Atlantis Exhibit opened in July of 2013, and it truly was a project for the ages. The Space Shuttle program accomplished much in its 30 years. To capture it all in a 90,000 square foot facility is impossible; however this exhibit, and the experience that PGAV takes you through, is as close as anyone can come here on Earth. Where else can you stand nose to nose with an Orbiter in mid-flight?
