PARMAGNUS

SPACE ART
FIRST MARTIAN STORIES AND ARTWORK
The ParMagnus artwork presented here is thematically and directly linked to the First Martian Stories. The original spaceship scale models below have been incorporated into the Stories as a series of symbolic, small "gifts" built and sent to the Martian colony by a hypothetical group of UTEP astronomers to commemorate important achievements on the red planet. The spaceship models' names are ParMagnif followed by a Roman numeral, as they originally appeared on Juárez a Diario.
Detailed aspects on how these models were built from scratch can be found in our FaceBook page. All models were designed and built by H. Noriega Mendoza.
ParMagnif I, scale model of an interstellar ramjet (10 cm). It commemorated the first human being born on Mars.

ParMagnif II, scale model of a long commercial spaceship (110 cm). It commemorated the first men and women landing on the red planet.



ParMagnif III, scale model of a faster, compact space vessel (37 cm). It commemorated the first successful MOXIEs and WAVARs installed on the red planet to extract oxygen and water from its atmosphere.





ParMagnif IV, V and VI soon to come
