Project Astraea

In early 2019, we were approached by student engineers from the University of Akron’s Akronauts team to see if we would be willing to paint the rockets for their annual NASA competition. Mac developed 6 concepts for the Akronauts team to choose from, and proceeded to paint two rockets for them to take to competition.

The Project was named Astraea for the Greek goddess of justice, innocence, and purity, also known as the star maiden. She was the last of the immortals to leave Earth with the decline of the Golden Age, and her return was said to signal the dawn of a new Golden Age. The Akronauts finished in 3rd place nationally that year. We were proud to see the student’s vision soar over the horizon.
