Atlantis Shuttle from ISS 05/2010 - Atlantis leaves the International Space Station - 05/2010 - Atlantis Space Shuttle before returning to Earth, seen from the International Space Station (ISS) on May 23, 2010. Space shuttle Atlantis is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 23 crew member on the International Space Station soon after the shuttle and station began their post - undocking relative separation. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 10:22 a.m. (CDT) on May 23, 2010, ending a seven - day stay that saw the addition of a new station module, replacement of batteries and resupply of the orbiting outpost. Earth's horizon and the blackness of space provide the backdrop for the scene

Back to the Moon: Artist view from the departure to the Moon - The Orion spacecraft onward to Moon - Artist view - The module inhabit Orion is docked to the planing module in Earth orbit and propels to the moon through a stage of the Ares 5 rocket. 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. The Orion manned spacecraft, docked to the lunar module in lunar orbit, propelled by an Ares 5 stage rocket towards the Moon. The Nasa's Project Constellation plans to send human explorers back to the Moon by 2020, and then onward to Mars; each Orion spacecraft will carry a crew of four to six astronauts

Back to the Moon: artist's view from the start to the Moon - The Orion spacecraft onward to Moon - Lunar program Constellation. The module inhabited Orion is secured to the planing module in Earth orbit and propels to the moon through a stage of the Ares 5 rocket. 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

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

Communication and relay satellite for other satellites, it was launched in July 2001. Built by ESA with an industrial team led by Italy's Alenia Spazio, Artemis carries three payloads plus a number of experiments developed to demonstrate new telecommunications technologies. The L - band Land Mobile (LLM) payload provides relay for two - way voice and data communications between fixed Earth stations and land mobiles - trucks, trains or cars - anywhere in Europe and North Africa. LLM is also broadcasting corrective GPS - like navigation signals for the European Global Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) programme, Europe's first satellite navigation system and a forerunner to the Galileo global navigation system. The other two primary payloads are designed to provide direct high data rate communications links between satellit

The image was photographed through the flight deck's aft windows. In the lower right corner is one of the vehicle's radiator panels. The pentagon - shaped object in the upper left is glare caused by window reflection.

Saturn en jour vue par Cassini - Backlit Saturn seen by Cassini - Mosaic of 141 photos obtained by the Cassini probe on 19 July 2013 at a distance of 1.2 million km from the planet. The Cassini probe was then in the shadow of the Planet Saturn; this portrait of the Giant Planet highlights its ring system and seven of its satellites appear in the image. The planets Mars, Venus and Earth are also visible. On July 19, 2013, Nasa's Cassini spacecraft slipped into Saturn's shadow and turned to image the planet, seven of its moons, its inner rings - and, in the background, our home planet, Earth. With both Cassini's wide-angle and narrow-angle cameras aimed at Saturn, Cassini was able to capture 323 images in just over four hours. This final mosaic uses 141 of those wide-angle images. Images taken using the red, green and blue spectral filters of the wide-angle camera were combined and mosaicked together to create this natural-color view. This image spans about 404,880 miles (651,591 kilomet

Earth observed at night by satellite. Mosaic of hundreds of images obtained by four satellites DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) from October 1994 to March 1995 - The image is a composite of hundreds of pictures made by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) currently operates four satellites carrying the Operational Linescan System (OLS) in low-altitude polar orbits. Three of these satellites record nighttime data. The DMSP-OLS has a unique capability to detect low levels of visible-near infrared (VNIR) radiance at night. With the OLS 'VIS' band data it is possible to detect clouds illuminated by moonlight, plus lights from cities, towns, industrial sites, gas flares, and ephemeral events such as fires and lightning-illuminated clouds. October 1994 - March 1995 DMSP nighttime data collected when moonlight was low. Using the OLS thermal infrared band, areas containing clouds were removed and the remaining area used in the time series: Earth by night

Launched at the end of December 2006, this satellite studies the physical phenomena occurring inside the stars. It is also used for the detection of extrasolar planets by observing the periodic micro-eclipses that these planets cause by passing in front of their mother star. Artist's view of COROT, the exoplanet hunter mission led by CNES, with ESA participation. Launched in December 2006, COROT is placed on a circular, polar orbit around Earth that allow for continuous observations of two large and opposite regions in the sky for more than 150 days each. Within each region there are many selected fields that will be monitored in turn. The reason for the oppositely sited regions is that, because of the Earth's movement around the Sun, the sun's rays start to interfere with the observations after 150 days. COROT then rotates by 180 degrees and start observing the other regi
