Ares 5 is a cargo rocket that will be used around 2020 to carry the landing module as well as the various elements needed to build a base on the Moon. This is a NASA artist's rendering of the Orion crew exploration vehicle docking with the Altair lunar lander, contained within the earth departure stage of an Ares V rocket. This rendezvous will take place in low earth orbit before the earth departure stage, Orion and Altair make the transit towards the moon. The earth departure stage will be discarded on the way

The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (also known as the Qinghai - Xizang Plateau) shown in this photograph were formed and continue to be modified by the convergent collision of two of the world's great continental tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the Indian - Australian. Towards the horizon, hazy and dusty conditions seem to exist on the Indo - Gangetic Plain of northern India (southwest) and the Takla Makan Desert of western China (northwest)

Extravehicular release of Anton Shkaplerov 02/2012 - Extrahicular release of Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov on 16 February 2012 to improve the equipment of the International Space Station (ISS). English cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, Expedition 30 flight engineer, participates in a session of extravehicular activity (EVA) to continue outfitting the International Space Station. During the six - hour, 15 - minute spacewalk, Shkaplerov and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko (out of frame), flight engineer, moved the Strela - 1 crane from the Pirs Docking Compartment to begin preparing the Pirs for its replacement next year with a new laboratory and docking module. The duo used another boom, the Strela - 2, to move the hand - operated crane to the Poisk module for future assembly and maintenance work. Both telescoping booms extend like fishing rods and are used to move massive components outside the station. On the exterior of the Poisk Mini - Research Module 2 (MRM2), they also installed t

White II became the first American to step outside his spacecraft and let go, effectively setting himself adrift in the zero gravity of space. For 23 minutes White floated and maneuvered himself around the Gemini spacecraft while logging 6500 miles during his orbital walk. White was attached to the spacecraft by a 25 foot umbilical line and a 23 - ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) which is used to move about the weightless environment of space. The visor of his helmet is gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun

Satellite Sentinel - 1 - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Sentinel - 1 in orbit around the Earth. This satellite has a five-metre resolution radar, is the first of a series of satellites forming the Earth monitoring network of the Copernicus programme (formerly GMES), and together they will study the changes in the Earth's environment. The Sentinel-1 mission consists of two satellites in polar orbit. Sentinel - 1a was launched on April 3, 2014. Sentinel - 1 carries an advanced synthetic aperture radar that works in several specialised modes to provide detailed imagery for Europe's Copernicus programme. These data will be used for applications such as monitoring the oceans, including shipping lanes, sea ice and oil spills. It also provides data to map changing land cover, ground deformation, ice shelves and glaciers, and can be used to help emergency response when disasters such as floods strike and to support humanitarian relief efforts at times of crisis.

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel. The Herschel Space Observatory, scheduled to launch in 2009, will study in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel will orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called Far Infrared and Submillimetre Telescope or FIRST) will solve the mystery of how stars and galaxies were born. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early universe, can best be studied with infrared space telescopes in space. This is the reason for Esa's Herschel. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory will be bigger and better than any of its predecessors. Moreover, it will observe at wa
