Description
The Mars set: rover paths pressed in ink — Spirit's tracks (a print born at the Bow & Arrow Press in 2015), Opportunity's marathon (editioned in 2019 when the mission ended), and Ingenuity's flights (2021 or later, since the helicopter first flew that April). The single catalogued year flattens a series that grew mission by mission.
