Military satellite DSP - Military satellite DSP tilted to predeployment position - Deploiement d'un satellite militaire DSP (Defense Support Program) on board the space shuttle Atlantis on 1 December 1991. These American spy satellites detect missile and spacecraft launches and nuclear explosions thanks to their infrared sensor that detects heat emissions. Defense Support Program (DSP)/Inertial Upper Stage (IUS) spacecraft, with forward airborne support equipment payload retention latch actuator released (foreground), is raised to a 29 degree predeployment position by the ASE aft frame tilt actuator (AFTA) table in the payload bay of Atlantis, Orbiter Vehicle 104. DSP components include Infrared sensor (top), AR I, SHF Antenna, EHF Antenna, Link 2 High - Gain Antenna, star sensor, and stowed solar paddles (box - like structure around the base). The Earth's limb and the blackness of space create the backdrop for this deployment scene. DSP satellites detect missile or spacecraft launches

Satellite Integral - Illustration - Satellite INTEGRAL in Proton fairing. Artwork - Artist's view of the European satellite INTEGRAL (International Gamma - Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) during the opening of the cap of the Proton rocket. Integral (International Gamma - Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) is the first space observatory that can simultaneously observe objects in gamma rays, X - rays, and visible light. Its main targets are violent explosions known as gamma - ray bursts, powerful phenomena such as supernova explosions, and regions in the Universe thought to contain black holes. Launched on 17 October 2002 (Proton launcher from Baikonur, Kazakhstan)

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

Satellite Sentinel-3 - Artist view - Sentinel-3 satellite - Artist view: Artist view of the European satellite Sentinel-3 in orbit around the Earth. The first of these Earth observation satellites of the European Copernicus programme was launched on 16 February 2016. This satellite offers a land monitoring service including forest fire detection - Sentinel-3's Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer includes dedicated channels for measuring fires. This will help to map carbon emissions from burnt biomasset and to assess damage and estimate recovery of burnt areas

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - Artist View - The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - Artist view - The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared - optimized space telescope scheduled for launch in 2014. Equipped with a large mirror 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter, it will find the first galaxies that formed in the early Universe, connecting the Big Bang to our own Milky Way Galaxy and will reside in an orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth

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.

Two primary payloads were successfully released in gestationary tansfer orbit (GTO): ESA's Meteosat P2 meteorological satellite and PanamSat 1, the first private international communication satellite. The Amsat 3C microsatellite was also flown piggyback and successfully deployed. The Ariane 44LP was the second most powerful version of the Ariane 4 series.

It could be accompanied by a blackout (starshade), places in space a long distance from it to block the light of a star in order to observe its exoplanets. The High Definition Space Telescope is almost twice the size of a tennis court. By using a football-field-sized shade to block the light from distant stars, the HDST could directly observe exoplanets;

Mission New Worlds: The New Worlds mission is a space mission proposal being studied by NASA. Its concept is based on the association of a space telescope with a large occulter (starshade) which places in space a long distance from it (several tens of thousands of kilometres) and designed to block the light of the central star in order to observe its exoplanets. Observations could be made with an existing space telescope, such as the James-Webb Space Telescope (JWST) once launched. A space telescope observes planets orbiting a distant star whose glare has been blocked by a flower-shaped screen the size of a football field. In reality, the starshade would be almost as far from the telescope as the moon is from earth.
