Mars: Valles Marineris - Mosaic of 20 images obtained by the European probe Mars Express. This image shows the eastern part of Valles Marineris, a canyon about 4500 km long and 8 km deep. This mosaic image of eastern part of Valles Marineris - colored to resemble the martian surface - comes from Esa's Mars Express spacecraft, which repeatedly crosses the Martian equator from north to south or south to north. The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board Mars Express, has been taking image strips of the valley system since 2004 as it passes overhead. The individual HRSC image strips are each between 50 and 200 kilometers wide, depending on Mars Express' orbit, so this view of Valles Marineris has only been made possible by creating a mosaic using 20 separate images. To improve the presentation here, the altitudes have been exaggerated fourfold, so that the slopes and mountainsides appear steeper than they are in reality. The colours in this image are slightly false as well. By incre

Mars: craters and channels in Hephaestus Fossae - Mars: craters and channels in Hephaestus Fossae - Impact crateres and channel system in Hephaestus Fossae, a region on Mars located on the western flank of Elysium Mons. The large impact crater on the left of the image measures 20 km in diameter. The image covering an area of about 150 square km was obtained by the Mars Express probe on 28 December 2007. This image of Hephaestus Fossae was obtained by Esa's Mars Express orbiter on 28 December 2007. The region is dotted with craters and channel systems and lies at about 21* North and 126* East on the Red Planet. Named after the Greek god of fire, Hephaestus Fossae extends for more than 600 km on the western flank of Elysium Mons in the Utopia Planitia region. The surface is mostly smooth, and is covered by several small impact craters measuring 800 to 2800 m in diameter. Smaller craters are scattered across the entire region. The left side of the image shows a large impact crater measuri

The Orion MPVC module - artist view - Orion spacecraft exploded view - Ecorchee view of the module lives in 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 and its components including ESA's service module. The Crew Module sits atop the service module and can hold four astronauts and cargo. This the only part of Orion designed to reenter Earth's atmosphere: the heatshield protects it against the intense heat of reentry at 32,000 km/h. The European Service Module (ESM) provides electricity, propulsion, air and water, and forms part of the vehicle's structure, like a car chassis. More information about the module is given on separate pages to the left. A Crew Module Adapter (CMA) connects the capsule to the ESM. It houses electronic equipment for communications, power and control, and includes a bridge that connects electrical, data and fluid systems between the

Map of Fossil Radiation Seen by Planck - The cosmic microwave background as seen by Planck - The European Space Agency's Planck space telescope is the source of the data on the most detailed map ever drawn of the Cosmological Hyperrequency background radiation - the fossil radiation of the Big Bang. This image is based on data from the first 15 months of Planck operation. It is the first image of this mission that shows on the whole sky the oldest emission of light that bathed our young Universe when it was only 380,000 years old. The Universe was then filled with a burning magma of protons, electrons, and photons intertwining at about 2700oC. The interaction between protons and electrons that gave rise to the hydrogen atoms then released light. As a result of the expansion of the Universe, this light has been extended until today reaches hyperfrequency wavelengths equivalent to a temperature of just 2.7 degrees above the absolute zero. This hyperfrequency cosmological background radia

The large impact crater at the top of the picture is 20 km in diameter. The image covering an area of about 150 square km was obtained by the Mars Express probe on 28 December 2007. This image of Hephaestus Fossae was obtained by Esa's Mars Express orbiter on 28 December 2007. The region is dotted with craters and channel systems and lies at about 21* North and 126* East on the Red Planet. Named after the Greek god of fire, Hephaestus Fossae extends for more than 600 km on the western flank of Elysium Mons in the Utopia Planitia region. The surface is mostly smooth, and is covered by several small impact craters measuring 800 to 2800 m in diameter. Smaller craters are scattered across the entire region.

Planetary nebula NGC 6537 in Sagittarius - Hubble observations have revealed huge waves sculpted in the Red Spider nebula. This warm and windy planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars in the Universe and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometers high - intimidating for even the bravest space surfers. The Red Spider Nebula, NGC 6537, is a striking 'butterfly' or bipolar (two - lobed) planetary nebula. Planetary nebulae are the glowing embers of ordinary stars, such as our Sun. At the end of their lives these stars expel most of their material into space, often forming a two - lobed structure as in the case of the Red Spider. These waves are driven by stellar winds radiating from the hot central star, much as a wind passing over a lake can generate waves on the water. The waves reach peaks 100 billion kilometers high and must have been produced by a powerful wind blowing with a speed of 2000 - 4500 kilometers per second (about 7 - 16 million km/hr). The w

The two spacecraft independently headed towards their respective orbits around the second Lagrange point of the Sun - Earth system (L2), some 1.5 million km from Earth in the direction opposite to the Sun. Planck is the first european mission to study the relic radiation from the Big Bang.

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)

View of debris in low orbit around the Earth - Debris objects in low - Earth orbit - 80 per cent of recenses are in low orbit, up to 2000 km above the Earth. Debris objects in low - Earth orbit (LEO) Eighty percent of all catalogued objects are in low - Earth orbit (LEO), which extends to 2000 km above the Earth's surface. To observe the Earth, spacecraft must orbit at such a low altitude. The spatial density of objects increases at high latitudes

Bepicolombo will be a mission to explore the planet Mercury, carried out jointly by the Japanese Space Agency and the European Space Agency. Its launch is scheduled in October 2018, to reach Mercure in 2025. Two probes form the Bepicolombo mission, the Mercury Planet Orbiter (DFO), which will perform a complete mapping of the surface of Mercury and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO), which will study the Mercurian magnetosphere.

Satellite ERS-1 - Artist's view of the European satellite ERS-1 (European Remote Sensing - 1) in orbit around the Earth. Launched in July 1991, this radar satellite observes the Earth. ERS - 1 artist composition over the coast of the Netherlands. ERS-1 (European Remote Sensing Satellite) was put into orbit by Ariane in July 1991. Since then, day and night and even through the densest clouds, it has been using its three intsruments to survey the structure of the planets surface, taking radar images that reveal the smallest details and monitor changes

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
