I worked with Peanuts Worldwide and NASA to develop a mini-float to accompany the Astronaut Snoopy Giant Balloon dubbed Snoopy's Doghouse: Skygazer. Conceptually the float's purpose is to serve as a control station including a satellite dish and a telescope affixed to Snoopy's doghouse through which Woodstock can observe Snoopy in the skies above. The mini-float gives a place for the Peanuts gang to join in on the fun along with some very important guests. When this float, along with Astronaut Snoopy debuted in 2019 NASA broadcasted from the International Space Station real life astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir to participate in the show featturing the 8" Astronaut Snoopy Plush.
