Cosmic Journeys: Missions of Exploration National Geographic 798 x 610mm Wall Map

Explorations of the solar system have advanced because of human curiosity, the will to understand the universe, and sometimes as a matter of national pride. Advanced sensors and high-resolution cameras have helped map many of the planets and moons of our solar system—in some cases with more accuracy than on Earth.

Presented here is every mission of exploration completed or underway that has a goal of studying the bodies of our solar system. What once was the exclusive domain of the United States and Russia has grown into a truly international effort, including private companies as well. Recently, probes have touched down on a comet, visited distant dwarf planet, Pluto, mapped the surfaces of planets and moons throughout the solar system, and delved into the mysteries of the sun.

This map is found in National Geographic's 11th Edition World Atlas and is now available as a stand-alone product. 

The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade-resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.
