Astro-cartography proceeds apace here as I work to update The Nostromo Files website. Striving for that “wonderfully retro” look, with which the site has been praised, sometimes proves harder than imagined.
Here we have our current versions of graphics illustrating Nostromo’s flight plan. They are an admixture of 70s-era graphics (crafted by the cutting-edge computer geniuses George Mallen and Brian Wyvill) with a bit into a more modern look:
“The Solomons Circuit,” illustrating Nostromo’s diversion Thanks to Scott Middlebrook
The Nostromo/Refinery complex enter the planetary system
The Nostromo orbits and sets down on the planetoid
Below, you see the previous incarnations of these graphics. These charts were used in the original The Nostromo Files website, circa 1990.
“The Solomons Circuit”, based on a diagram by Scott Middlebrook. From The Nostromo Files, circa 1990
Nostromo’s path into the planetary system, from The Nostromo Files, circa 1990
Stay tuned for more. I’ll share samples as I make progress…
