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. Sentinel - 1, the first Earth observation satellite to be built for Europe's Global Monitoring for Environment and Security 'Copernicus' programme. It is a C - band imaging radar mission to provide an all - weather day - and - night supply of imagery. The mission will benefit numerous services such as those that relate to monitoring Arctic sea - ice, routine sea - ice mapping, surveillance of the marine environment, including oil - spill monitoring and ship detection for maritime security, monitoring land - surface for motion risks, mapping for forest, water and soil management and mapping to support humanitarian aid and crisis situ

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Ariane 5 fairing with satellite Herschel. Artwork - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel during its launch by an Ariane 5 rocket. 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 Observa

Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. Backdropped by a scattering of clouds over part of Earth, the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) approaches the International Space Station. Once the HTV was in range, NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node.

Space Shuttle - Illustration - Space Shuttle reentry - Artwork - The American Space Shuttle returns to Earth protected by its thermal shield. In order for the Space Shuttle to return to Earth it must shed 18,000 miles per hour of velocity and descend low enough to make an unpowered glide to a landing strip. With 115 tons of vehicle traveling fast enough to circle the globe once every 90 minutes, there is a tremendous amount of kinetic energy to dispose of. The Shuttle disposes this energy like every other manned space vehicle: it uses the Earth's atmosphere to convert its kinetic energy into heat. The Shuttle does this by slowly descending into the atmosphere bellyside - down at a 40 degree angle. This presents a large, blunt surface to the rushing air that continues to slow the orbiter for the next 16 minutes. Through a combination of friction and compression, the temperature of the air around the Shuttle rises to 3,000* F, hot enough to ionize the air into a glowing plasma trail that

Banks of the Bahamas seen from space - Great Bahamas Bank: Image obtained on 5 February 2014 by the Landsat-8 satellite. Underwater structures of the Great Bahamas Bank are pictured in this image from the Landsat-8 satellite on 5 February 2014. Sitting north of Cuba, the bank is made of limestone - mainly from the skeletal fragments of marine organisms - that has been accumulating for over 100 million years. Currents sculpted these underwater sediments into the wavy pattern we see along the bottom of the image, just a few meters deep. We can clearly see where the shallow waters drop off into the deep, dark water of an area known as the Tongue of the Ocean. With depths of up to about 4000 m, this trench surrounded by islands, reefs and shoals has an opening to the Atlantic Ocean at its northern end (not pictured). Over the deep Tongue we can see a few sparse clouds

Moon Formation: Another Hypotheses of Giant Impact - Moon Formation: Hit-and-run Giant Impact Scenario: The hypothesis of giant impact suggests that the Moon was created from material ejected by a collision between the young Earth and a body the size of Mars named Theia 4.5 billion years ago. This scenario is widely accepted, but analyses of lunar samples have shown a major problem with this theory: the Moon should be composed mainly of Theia materials. The elements of the Moon and the Earth show remarkable similarities. Researchers explored a new collision geometry, changing the impact configuration. Their simulation also integrates a more energetic impact (called “hit and run”) that could tear more matter from Earth and make the pre-lunar debris disc dominate by terrestrial matter - The giant-impact hypothesis, sometimes called the Big Splash, or the Theia Impact suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and a body of the size of Mars, a

E.DEORBIT: a satellite to clean space - E.Deorbit grabbing debris - An artist's view of the e.deorbit satellite (left) catching a satellite with a robotic arm to take it to consume itself in the Earth's atmosphere. e.Deorbit is a European mission project that if approved in 2019 will start in 2024. This satellite will be the first to clean up space debris. He would remove the larger objects with his arm or a net, before discharging them into the atmosphere, or they would be destroyed. ESA's proposed e.Deorbit mission, shown left, using a robotic arm to catch a derelict satellite - the baseline capture method for what would be the world's first active space debris removal mission, in 2024. The mission would first rendezvous with a large, drifting ESA satellite, then capture and secure it safely ahead of steering the combination down for a controlled burn-up in the atmosphere. As well as the baselined robot arm, additional capture technologies are being investigated, including a net and

Allosaurus among the sequoias - Allosaurus amidst Sequoias - A couple of allosaurus (allosaurus, carnivorous dinosaur) foraging in the middle of a sequoia forest. The adult male allosaur is recognizable with its orange “” horns””. For 5 million years, allosaurs were the most frequent carnivores in North America. A pair of Allosauruses search for dinner in the pre-twilight of a lush mountainside forest. The orange “” horns”” on the foreground Allosaurus identifies this as an adult male, while his female companion behind attempts to make a meal of an unfortunate terrapin. 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period, giant Sequoias - also known as Redwoods - may have populated all of the northern continents. These evergreens grow as tall as 370 feet and some have trunk diameters exceeding 25 feet. The only living Sequoias today - and some are over 2,000 years old - occupy a narrow strip of land along the North American Pacific coast. Also during the late Jurassic, a large, carni

Solar Wind and Earth's Magnetic Field - Illustration - Solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere - Schema illustrating the path of the solar wind (blue arrows) striking the Earth's magnetosphere. The magnetosphere protects the Earth from particles emitted by the Sun. It departs the solar wind but some reaches the planet, especially at the level of the poles, where the boreal and southern aurora form. Diagram illustrating the solar wind (blue arrows) around the Earth's magnetosphere. Magnetosphere forms a shield that protects the Earth from the radiation of the solar wind. Some of the particles entering the magnetosphere, following magnetic field lines to the poles, are forming auroras

Lake Gairdner - Australia: Lake Gairdner National Park is located 436 km northwest of Adelaide, the capital of Australia-Meridionale. Image obtained by the ALOS satellite on 1 December 2009. Lake Gairdner in central South Australia is pictured in this image acquired by Japan's ALOS satellite on 1 December 2009. The Lake Gairdner National Park - which includes the nearby lakes Everard and Harris - was established in 1991 for its significant wildlife habitat and natural features. While the area is hot and dry in summer, spring brings water and is a popular destination for birdwatchers. When flooded, Gairdner is one of the largest salt lakes in Australia, more than 160 km long and 48 km wide. But when dry, the vast salt pan attracts racers attempting to set land speed records and is the site for the annual Speed Week event. This image shows mostly the dry, salt-crusted lakebed, while the islands appear brick-red
