The STS - 31 crew aboard Discovery, set the HST into Earth orbit high above the Andes Mountains. Parts of Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina are visible. This picture covers a huge area of the western half of South America stretching from 14 degrees south latitude to 23 degrees, about 1,000 kilometers

UARS Satellite - View of the UARS satellite during its deployment into space by space shuttle Discovery. UARS (Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite) is an Earth observation satellite from NASA developed to study the Earth's atmosphere in particular the ozone layer. The satellite, weighing 5.9 tons and 11 meters long, was launched in 1991 by the United States space shuttle during the STS-48 mission. It was placed in low orbit at an altitude of 700 km and was deactivated in December 2005. This STS - 48 onboard photo is of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) in the grasp of the RMS (Remote Manipulator System) during deployment, September 1991. UARS gathers data related to the chemistry, dynamics, and energy of the ozone layer. UARS data is used to study energy input, stratospheric photo chemistry, and upper atmospheric circulation. Data from UARS enables scientists to study ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere

The scene was captured with a 70 mm handheld Hasselblad camera with a 30 mm lens attached. The hardware supporting the LIDAR - in - Space Technology Experiment (LITE) is in the lower right. A TV camera on the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm records the Extravehicular Activity (EVA). Astronauts Meade and Mark C. Lee took turns using the SAFER hardware during their shared EVA of Sept. 16, 1994. The test of SAFER is the first phase of a larger SAFER program whose objectives are to establish a common set of requirements for both space shuttle and space station program needs, develop a flight demonstration of SAFER, validate system performance and, finally, develop a production versi

Decollage de la shuttle Discovery 05/2008 - Launch of space shuttle Discovery 05/2008 - Decollage de la shuttle Discovery on 31 May 2008. Mission STS-124. The Space Shuttle Discovery and its seven - member STS - 124 crew head towards Earth - orbit and a scheduled link - up with the International Space Station (ISS). Liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's launch pad 39A occurred on May 31, 2008 at 5:02 p.m. (EDT). The STS - 124 mission is the 26th in the assembly of the International Space Station. It is the second of three flights launching components to complete Jaxa's Kibo laboratory. During the mission, the shuttle crew will install Kibo's large Japanese Pressurized Module and its remote manipulator system. Onboard are astronauts Mark Kelly, commander; Ken Ham, pilot; Karen Nyberg, Mike Fossum, Ron Garan, Greg Chamitoff and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, all mission specialists. Chamitoff will join Expedition 17 in progress to serve as a flight eng

Space lift on the Moon - Artist's view - Lunar elevator lunar base - Lunar base equipped with a space lift. A manned lunar space elevator prepares to depart from its manned lunar base. Surrounding it are support facilities and cargo. The yellow machine on the right is an articulated manned manipulator for handling cargo and managing the elevator. The space elevator concept involves running a cable from the surface of a planet or moon up to a gravitationally - stable point in space, whereupon a specially - designed vehicle can climb and descend the cable. Also known as tether propulsion and non-rocket space launch, this method permits an alternative way to access space. In the case of the lunar space elevator, the cable is anchored to the surface of the Moon and ascends to a stable Lagrange point. In this illustration the cable, in the form of a ribbon, is anchored to the southern hemisphere of the near - side of the Moon and ascends approximately 35,000 miles towards the Earth. The man
