Inhabited Mission to an Asteroid - Artist's View - Asteroid Lander with EVA ramp deployed - A spaceship lives on the surface of an asteroid. This manned Asteroid Lander includes a hatch permitting explorers (in space suits) to exit the lander and explore the asteroid's airless, lunar-like surface. Given that the surface gravity is so low, in lieu of a ladder a simple ramp is deployed to assist the explorers with exiting and entering the lander

Apollo 17: decolving the Lem from the lunar surface - Apollo 17: lunar module liftoff - The Challenger lunar module decolves from the Moon. View obtained by the television camera mounted on the lunar jeep, December 14, 1972. The Apollo 17 Lunar Module (LM) “” Challenger”” ascent stage leaves the Taurus - Littrow landing site as it makes its spectacular liftoff from the lunar surface, as seen in this reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by the color RCA TV camera mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). The LRV - mounted TV camera, remotely controlled from the Mission Control Center (MCC) in Houston, made it possible for people on Earth to watch the fantastic event. The LM liftoff was at 188:01:36 ground elapsed time, 4:54:36 p.m. (CST), Thursday, Dec. 14, 1972. The LM ascent stage, with astronauts Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt aboard, returned from the lunar surface to rejoin the Command and Service Modules (CSM) orbiting the moon. Astronaut Ronald

Inhabited mission to an asteroid - Artist's view - MMV begins descent to asteroid surface - An MMV, pilot by an astronaut, leaves his ship to descend to the surface of the asteroid. The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) should be able to take a crew of six astronauts to an asteroid, the Moon or to take men to Mars. Here, the vehicle is connected to an additional housing module for a duration of more than three months, as well as to a module for extravehicular outputs equipped with two MVs (Manned Maneuvering Vehicles). The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is a spacecraft project currently being developed by Lockheed Martin for NASA. Based on specifications and tests already performed for the Orion spacecraft. It was announced by NASA on 24 May 2011. A Manned Maneuvering Vehicle (MMV) piloted by a single astronaut descends towards the surface of a small asteroid. The MMV is designed to travel several miles from the main vessel with life support and fuel enough for a day's exploration

Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission ready for departure - A spaceship assemblies in Earth orbit is ready to depart to Phobos, one of Mars's satellites. This ship consists of several fuel tanks and an Orion-type space capsule with three astronauts on board. No landing gear is required because the mass of Phobos is so low that this satellite can be approached by astronauts in extravehicular exit. A complete rocket system for delivering a crew of three to Mars' moon Phobos and returning them to the Earth. The vast bulk of the rocket is propellant divided into stages that are each released in turn as the mission progresses. On the far right are the crew accomodations and an attached Orion class command module. No dedicated lander is required as Phobos' mass is so low that it could be easily approached by the command module and explored by suited astrogeologists in Manned Maneuvering Units (MMUS)

Inhabited mission to an asteroid - Artist's view - Asteroid Lander EVA egress - Astronauts leave a spaceship on the surface of an asteroid. A pair of explorers in space suits exit an Asteroid Lander in preparation for exploring the asteroid's surface. The surface gravity is so low that in terms of moving about the experience is more akin to exploring the floor of an ocean than the airless surface of a celestial body. The explorers' space suits include miniaturized manned maneuvering units to, i.e., tiny reaction control thrusters, to propel them across the asteroid's surface

Back to the Moon: MPCV module - Artist view - The MPCV spacecraft in space - The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) above Earth. This capsule should be able to take a crew of six astronauts to the moon and could be used to take men to Mars. The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is a spacecraft project currently being developed by Lockheed Martin for NASA. Based on specifications and tests already performed for the Orion spacecraft. It was announced by NASA on 24 May 2011. The next generation Deep Space Vehicle (DSV) may be flying within the next decade. Like the Apollo Command/Service Modules which last flew in 1973, the DSV will be a crewed spacecraft capable of independently navigating beyond Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond

This exoplanet is orbiting in the habitable area of the Starsystem Kepler-16 (AB), an Algol-type binary star located at a distance of about 200 light years from the Sun in the constellation of Swan. An astronaut could contemplate a double sunset. Like Luke Skywalker's planet “” Tatooine””” in Star Wars, Kepler-16b orbits a pair of stars. Described here as a terrestrial planet, Kepler-16b might also be a gas giant like Saturn. Prospects for life on this unusual world aren't good, as it has a temperature similar to that of dry ice. But the discovery indicates that the movie's iconic double-sunset is anything but science fiction.
