Artemis II Rocket Launch Photography

What is included in Peter Lik’s Artemis II Collection?

The Artemis II Collection documents NASA’s Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, in the final days before the first crewed Artemis mission to the Moon. Captured with rare launch pad access, the collection preserves the scale, engineering, and quiet tension of a historic moment just before liftoff.

Fly Me to the Moon frames the rocket against a sky full of stars, while Zero Gravity looks straight up from below in black and white, revealing the symmetry of the boosters and core. Each is a Limited Edition of 250 with 45 Artist Proofs. The collection is also available as the Artemis II Element Pack, a set of four square panels for smaller spaces.

How are Artemis II prints made?

Every Artemis II print is produced in-house at the LIK Fine Art studio in Las Vegas, one of the few artist-owned fine art production facilities in the world. Each photograph is printed on museum-grade photographic paper and mounted beneath acrylic to reveal remarkable color, depth, and detail.

Collectors may choose a contemporary acrylic mount or an artisan frame assembled in the studio and finished with a canvas-wrapped liner. Each piece arrives with a hanging solution, while LIK Fine Art gallery consultants are available to assist with sizing, framing, and placement. Explore the LIK Fine Art framing guide to learn more about presentation options.

What sizes and formats are Artemis II prints available in?

The Artemis II Limited Editions are offered in classic 3:2 photographic and panoramic formats, from 100 cm up to a panoramic edition more than nine feet long. The Element Pack includes four square panels, each measuring 9.75 by 9.75 inches.

What is the difference between an Open Edition, Limited Edition, and Artist Proof?

Open Edition photographs are signed but not individually numbered and do not have a predetermined edition limit.

Limited Edition photographs are signed and individually numbered, with a fixed edition size listed on each artwork’s product page. Once every number in a Limited Edition has been reserved, the edition is permanently closed and no additional pieces are produced.

Artist Proofs belong to a separate, highly limited edition. Depending on the photograph, Artist Proof editions range from 10 to 45 individually numbered pieces. They are produced at a higher print resolution and presented beneath anti-reflective acrylic for exceptional clarity and detail.
