Deploiement du satellite LDEF - Deployment of the LDEF satellite - Deployment of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) satellite seen from the Challenger Shuttle over Florida on 7 April 1984. This satellite remained in space for more than five years and was brought back to Earth to analyse the 57 experiments on board, intended to better understand the consequences of a long stay in space. This single scene, taken during the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) satellite deploy, captures the entire Florida Peninsula (27.0N, 85.0W) in a single view. The multi - paneled LDEF satellite, suspended by the RMS, is undergoing final checkout procedures immediately prior to release. As a long term materials testing facility, the LDEF contained material samples in the many surface panels to determine the effects of long term exposure to space. multi - paneled LDEF satellite was deployed 27.0N, 85.0W)

St James Bay, Ontario, Shorelines. Numerous shorelines around Hudson and St. James Bays are distinctive in winter because of snow cover. The area shown in this Shuttle image taken on 12 February 2000 is located in Hannah Bay, in the southern part of St. James Bay. The river is the Harricanaw River (Harricana river). Shorelines along the bay were created when the overlying glaciers retreated and the land underneath rebounded causing the Hudson/St James Bay waters to retreat northward. These ridges are 100 to 200 m in width and heights can reach up to 7 m. The land along St. James Bay consists mainly of tidal flats and salt marshes

Betsiboka River Delta - Madagascar - - Betsiboka estuary, Madagascar, seen from space - Betsiboka River Delta seen from space shuttle Atlantis in July 2001. During the 20th Century Madagascar, the world's fourth largest island, experienced a tremendous reversal in the quantity of vegetative cover throughout the entire island. From an estimated 80 to 90 percent vegetation cover in 1900 to less than an estimated 10 percent by the year 2000, the rate of deforestation has been dramatic. This image, along with many other space - acquired images, documents the massive annual soil losses that have occurred during the last 30 years. Note the orange - brown sediment that is almost always being transported by the Betsiboka River and being deposited in the delta region. The sequence of images astronauts have taken over time, shows the sediment accumulating and forming islands in the estuary mouth

The highest point of the Pyrenees is 3404 meters, though outside the area pictured. Snow - free foothills of the Pyrenees in Aquitaine (France) appear at the bottom (north is to the bottom of the view). According to geologists studying the STS - 108 photo collection, the Pyrenees range began forming about 320 million years ago and was strongly uplifted again during early stages of Eurasian - African plate collision. Complex folded strata on the Spanish side (near Pamplona) appear as bends and waves in foothill rock across the top of the view. Tin, tungsten, talc, fluorite, barium and gold have been mined from the mountains, and petroleum is produced from the adjacent Aquitaine sedimentary basin

The Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream can be seen crossing Cape Breton Island in the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada. The Jet Stream is a narrow zone of high - speed winds typically found at altitudes of 4 to 8 miles (8 - 12 km) above the earth. They result from temperature contrasts between polar and tropical regions. The strongest Jet Stream winds are found in the winter when the contrast between polar and tropical regions is the greatest. Wind speeds can reach 90 to over 180 miles per hour (145 to over 290 km/h) from west to east. During the winter months over the United States and southern Canada, the path taken by the Jet Stream can have a large influence on the weather conditions of this region.

ETNA (Sicily) - seen by shuttle Columbia 07/1996 - STS078 - 01/07/1996 Mt. Etna, located in the center of the image, is one of the most active and most studied shield volcanoes in the world. The summit of Mt. Etna is 10991 feet (3350 m) above sea level. Four small craters are located at the summit. Several cinder cones (generally circular - shaped features) are visible at various locations around the flanks of the volcano. The different colored terrain on the flanks of the volcano indicate lava flows that have occurred at different times and have produced a variety of surface roughness on the slopes of the volcano. One of the reasons that Mt. Etna is closely monitored is to provide advance warning of a major eruption to the surrounding towns and villages that are found around the base of the volcano. Notice that there is a small cloud coming from one of the craters in the summit area at the time this photograph was acquired (STS78 - 755 - 039 is a color infrared image of Mt. Etna)

The Orion MPVC module - artist view - Orion spacecraft exploded view - Ecorchee view of the module lives in Orion. This module is intended to take a crew to the Moon where asteroides will also be used to commute with the space station. An artist's impression of the Orion spacecraft and its components including ESA's service module. The Crew Module sits atop the service module and can hold four astronauts and cargo. This the only part of Orion designed to reenter Earth's atmosphere: the heatshield protects it against the intense heat of reentry at 32,000 km/h. The European Service Module (ESM) provides electricity, propulsion, air and water, and forms part of the vehicle's structure, like a car chassis. More information about the module is given on separate pages to the left. A Crew Module Adapter (CMA) connects the capsule to the ESM. It houses electronic equipment for communications, power and control, and includes a bridge that connects electrical, data and fluid systems between the

Lake Orumieh in Iran seen from space - Lake Urmia in Iran seen from space - Lake Orumieh is the largest lake in Iran. This dirty lake is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Image obtained by Space Shuttle Challenger in October 1984. Lake Urmia is an isolated lake in Azerbaijan Province in northwest Iran. The total area of the lake is 1815 square miles (4700 square kilometers), and the north - south length is about 90 miles (145 kilometers). The maximum depth of the shallow, saline lake is approximately 50 feet (15 meters). Climatically, the lake region is located in a semiarid, almost desert environment, with general precipitation averaging 12 inches (30 centimeters) per year. Topographically, the entire region is either plateau or mountain. The surface of the lake is approximately 4100 feet (1250 meters) above sea level with several of the individual volcanic peaks reaching more than 7000 feet (2134 meters) above sea level. The massive, rugged mountain range west of the lake has ridges that e

Traces of the impact crater Chicxulub - Chicxulub impact crater - Excessive relief view of the Yucatan peninsula obtained from radar altimetric data acquired by the SRTM instrument aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in 2000. An arc of circle is visible to the north-west of the peninsula, marking the outer edge of the Chicxulub impact crater whose centre is located off the Mexican coast. This meteorite impact would have caused the disappearance of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. This shaded relief image of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula show a subtle, but unmistakable, indication of the Chicxulub impact crater. Most scientists now agree that this impact was the cause of the Cretatious - Tertiary Extinction, the event 65 million years ago that marked the sudden extinction of the dinosaurs as well as the majority of life then on Earth. Most of the peninsula is visible here, along with the island of Cozumel off the east coast. The Yucatan is a plateau composed mostly of limestone and is an are

Richat structure - Mauritania - satellite view - Richat structure, Mauritania, seen by satellite - Richat structure is a geological formation of volcanic origin in Mauritania. This “eye” measures 50 km in diameter. This image is a combination of an image obtained by the Landsat satellite in 1987 and a radar image obtained from the Space Shuttle (SRTM) in 2000. The relief is exaggerated by about 6 times. The picture covers an area of 68 km by 112 km. This prominent circular feature, known as the Richat Structure, in the Sahara desert of Mauritania is often noted by astronauts because it forms a conspicuous 50 - kilometer - wide (30 - mile - wide) bull's - eye on the otherwise rather featureless expanse of the desert. Initially mistaken for a possible impact crater, it is now known to be an eroded circular anticline (structural dome) of layered sedimentary rocks. Extensive sand dunes occur in this region and the interaction of bedrock topography, wind, and moving sand is evident in this
