UARS Satellite - View of the UARS satellite during its deployment into space by space shuttle Discovery. UARS (Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite) is an Earth observation satellite from NASA developed to study the Earth's atmosphere in particular the ozone layer. The satellite, weighing 5.9 tons and 11 meters long, was launched in 1991 by the United States space shuttle during the STS-48 mission. It was placed in low orbit at an altitude of 700 km and was deactivated in December 2005. This STS - 48 onboard photo is of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) in the grasp of the RMS (Remote Manipulator System) during deployment, September 1991. UARS gathers data related to the chemistry, dynamics, and energy of the ozone layer. UARS data is used to study energy input, stratospheric photo chemistry, and upper atmospheric circulation. Data from UARS enables scientists to study ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere

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)

The Sunshield on Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope is the largest part of the observatory - five layers of thin membrane that must unfurl reliably in space to precise tolerances. Last week, for the first time, engineers stacked and unfurled a full-sized test unit of the Sunshield and it worked perfectly. The Sunshield is about the length of a tennis court, and will be folded up like an umbrella around the Webb telescope's mirrors and instruments during launch. Once it reaches its orbit, the Webb telescope will receive a command from Earth to unfold, and separate the Sunshield's five layers into their precisely stacked arrangement with its kite-like shape

Satellite METOP - A - Artist's view of the European satellite METOP - A in orbit around the Earth. Launch on October 19, 2006, it is the first European meteorological satellite in polar orbit; it includes twelve meteorological instruments. MetOp is a series of three meteorological operational polar orbiting satellites, the first of which, MetOp-1 is the prototype. The instruments on MetOp will produce high - resolution images, vertical temperature and humidity profiles, and temperatures of the land and ocean surface on a global basis. Also on board the satellites will be instruments for monitoring ozone and wind flow over the oceans. The first launch was on October 19 2006

The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. Engineers and technicians working on the James Webb Space Telescope successfully completed the first important optical measurement of Webb's fully assembled primary mirror, called a Center of Curvature test. Taking a “” before””” optical measurement of the telescope's deployed mirror is crucial before the telescope goes into several stages of rigorous mechanical testing. These tests will simulate the violent sound and vibration environments the telescope will experience inside its rocket on its way out into space. This environment is one of the most stressful structurally and could alter the shape and alignment of Webb's primary mirror, which could degrade or, in the worst case, ruin it

The line that crosses the image is the trace left by the passage of a satellite during the photo shoot. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. A supernova event marks the catastrophic end - point in the life of a massive star. The self - destruction of the star releases a huge amount of energy as radiation of all kinds, but a substantial fraction of the force of the explosion blasts the outer part of the supernova into an expanding shell of matter that travels through the almost empty space between the stars. As the rapidly moving blast wave encounters the relatively stationary interstellar medium it creates a very narrow, luminous shock front that appears as a faint nebula. Because the shock front is very convoluted the nebulosity appears to be highly structured and the various colours define different

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.

Hubble space telescope: 4th maintenance mission 05/2009 - Hubble space telescope: fourth repair mission 05/2009 - Astronaut Andrew Feustel transports the new WFC3 (Wide Field Camera 3) camera during his first extravehicular exit to install it aboard the Hubble space telescope (HST). 14 May 2009. But for the absence of gravity, astronaut Andrew Feustel, perched on the end of the remote manipulator system arm, would be a bit top heavy as he helps to install the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) during a May 14 spacewalk to perform work on the Hubble Space Telescope. Out of frame is veteran astronaut John Grunsfeld, his spacewalking crewmate. The pair kicked off five back to back days of extravehicular activity for the STS - 125 crew. Feustel and Grunsfeld will participate in two of the remaining four spacewalks. 14 May 2009

Astronauts John Grunsfeld (bottom) and Andrew Feustel, perched alone on the end of the Space Shuttle Atlantis' remote manipulator system, perform the first of five STS - 125 spacewalks to perform work on the Hubble Space Telescope, temporarily locked down in the cargo bay of the Earth - orbiting shuttle. The two mission specialists are assigned to two of the remaining four sessions of extravehicular activity. 14 May 2009

Astronaut John Grunsfeld, STS - 125 mission specialist, positioned on a foot restraint on the end of Atlantis' remote manipulator system (RMS), and astronaut Andrew Feustel (bottom center), mission specialist, participate in the mission's fifth and final session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as work continues to refurbish and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope. During the seven - hour and two - minute spacewalk, Grunsfeld and Feustel installed a battery group replacement, removed and replaced a Fine Guidance Sensor and three thermal blankets (NOBL) protecting Hubble's electronics. 18 May 2009
