Collection of 32 cels and production backgrounds together with three sets of story boards from various promotional and educational films produced by JPL, ranging from 35 x 14-1/2 to 3 x 5-1/2 inches. Watercolor backgrounds with gauche on celluloid. Includes storyboards from the UHF Receiving System (URS), the NASA-JPL Prod.571 "Lunar Bridgehead," and Capsule Simulator Advanced Development (C.S.A.D.). Fascinating group of animation cels and storyboards depicting the latest aerospace technologies and idealized galactic landscapes. Multiple cels related to the Mariner spacecraft including "lift-off of Atlas-Agena-Mariner" and an "Idealized View of Landscape of Venus" from "A Mission for Mariner," as well cels dedicated to parachute landings. Mariner spacecrafts were designed for interplanetary exploration and data collection, considered some of the "great successes of the early American space program" (NASA). Although the first five Mariner crafts were launched with the Atlas-Agena system, only 2,4, and 5 each successfully completed their missions. Mariner 2 was the first spacecraft to fly to another planet (Venus), while Mariner 4 took the first photographs of Mars in 1965. Storyboards cover other JPL projects, such as "Lunar Bridgehead," a film about the Ranger 7's mission to be the first spacecraft to photograph the moon. Another explains a simplified computer assisted UHF Receiving System used for flight traffic operations. At the time, the UHF (Ultra High Frequency) Receiving System was state-of-the-art communications system using radio frequencies between 300 MHz and 3Ghz. The talented Angelino, Bill Matthews, launched his career at Walt Disney Animation Studios in 1956 during the production of Sleeping Beauty. Soon he was acting as the Jet Propulsion Lab's "one man animation department" where he spent 1960s producing films for NASA and the general public.
