Hubble space telescope: end of the 4th maintenance mission 05/2009 - Hubble space telescope: end of the fourth repair mission - The Hubble space telescope (HST) seen from space shuttle Atlantis after their separation on 19 May 2009. An STS - 125 crew member aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured this still image of the Hubble Space Telescope as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation on May 19, after having been linked together for the better part of a week. During the week five spacewalks were performed to complete the final servicing. 19 May 2009

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

Gemini 4: release of Ed.White - Gemini 4: Ed White EVA - First release of an American into space made by Edward White on June 3, 1965. On June 3, 1965 Edward H. White II became the first American to step outside his spacecraft and let go, effectively setting himself adrift in the zero gravity of space. For 23 minutes White floated and maneuvered himself around the Gemini spacecraft while logging 6500 miles during his orbital walk. White was attached to the spacecraft by a 25 foot umbilical line and a 23 - ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) which is used to move about the weightless environment of space. The visor of his helmet is gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel. 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 Observatory will be bigger and better than any of its predecessors. Moreover, it will observe at wa

ESA's GOCE mission has delivered the most accurate model of the 'geoid' ever produced, which will be used to further our understanding of how Earth works. A precise model of Earth's geoid is crucial for deriving accurate measurements of ocean circulation, sea - level change and terrestrial ice dynamics. The geoid is also used as a reference surface from which to map the topographical features on the planet. In addition, a better understanding of variations in the gravity field will lead to a deeper understanding of Earth's interior, such as the physics and dynamics associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes

Satellite Orbiting Carbon Observatory - Artist's concept of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory - Artist's view of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) satellite orbiting Earth. This satellite, scheduled to launch in early 2009, will be dedicated exclusively to the study of carbon dioxide on Earth. The mission, scheduled to launch in early 2009, will be the first spacecraft dedicated to studying atmospheric carbon dioxide, the main human - produced driver of climate change. It will provide the first global picture of the human and natural sources of carbon dioxide and the places where this important greenhouse gas is stored. Such information will improve global carbon cycle models as well as forecasts of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and of how our climate may change in the future

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

Chandra Space Telescope - Artist View - Chandra X - Ray Observatory - View of the Chandra Telescope in orbit around Earth. The Chandra space telescope observes the universe in X-ray; it was launched and put into orbit in July 1999. Nasa's Chandra X - ray Observatory as it may appear at about 50,000 miles from the Earth, almost twice as high as Earth - orbiting geosynchronous satellites. Named after the Indian astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, the Chandra X - ray Observatory is the world's most powerful X - ray telescope, and at a weight of over 5 tons (10 tons including the detachable booster rocket) was the heaviest payload ever delivered into orbit by the Space Shuttle. Chandra was carried into space by Columbia in July 1999. Originally designed for a 5 year mission dedicated to observing distant celestial objects in the X - ray spectrum, Chandra has been observing for over three times that long and is still going strong.

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

The Orion MPVC module - Artist view - Artist view of the module lives Orion. This module is intended to take a crew to the Moon where asteroides will also be used to commute with the space station. An artist's impression of the Orion spacecraft with ESA's service module. The module sits directly below Orion's crew capsule and provides propulsion, power, thermal control, and water and air for four astronauts. The solar array spans 19 m and provides enough to power two households. A little over 5 m in diameter and 4 m high, it weighs 13.5 tons. The 8.6 tons of propellant will power one main engine and 32 smaller thrusters

Permanent station between Mars and the Earth - Artist view - Mars cycler and manned maneuvering units - Artist view - Mars Cycler arrives near the Earth. Astronauts are conducting an extravehicular exit. Mars Cycler is a space station placed in orbit between Mars and Earth whose trajectory would alternate between Mars and Earth. Once positioned in orbit, this gravitational assistance vessel would use very little fuel. This project would make a permanent link between the two planets. A Mars cycler swings by the Earth and onward to Mars while two astronauts in manned maneuvering units (AKA, MMUS) watch from afar. A Mars cycler is a permanently orbiting vehicle with a path that alternately brings it near Earth and Mars. Once a cycler has been accelerated into orbit it continues on its own momentum, going back and forth between the two planets, only requiring propellant for occasional course adjustments. A one-way trip between Earth and Mars involves six to eight months of space travel, th
