Mission ExoMars 2016 - Artist view - ExoMars Mission - Artist view: Artist view of the European mission ExoMars 2016 with the separation of the Shiaparelli landing module from the TGO probe (Trace Gas Orbiter). TGO has been in orbit around Mars since October 19, 2016. The Schiaparelli module was lost after separation. Artist's impression depicting the separation of the ExoMars 2016 entry, descent and landing demonstrator module, named Schiaparelli, from the Trace Gas Orbiter, and heading for Mars. TGO was launched on March 14 2016 with Schiaparelli. TGO orbits March since October 19 2016. Schiaparelli was lost after separation. TGO searches for evidence of methane and other atmospheric gases that could be signatures of active biological or geological processes on Mars. TGO will also serve as a communications relay for the rover and surface science platform that will be launched in 2020

ExoMars rover - Artist's view - Artist's view of the rover of the European mission ExoMars 2020. Artist's impression of the ExoMars rover and surface platform on the surface of Mars. The 2020 mission of the ExoMars programme will deliver a European rover and a Russian surface platform to the surface of Mars. A Proton rocket will be used to launch the mission, which will arrive at Mars after a nine-month journey. The rover will travel across the martian surface to search for signs of life. It will collect samples with a drill and analyse them in its onboard laboratory. ExoMars 2020 will be the first mission to combine the capability to move across the surface and to study Mars at depth. The surface platform, which is the responsibility of Roscosmos and the Space Research Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI), will remain stationary and will investigate the surface environment at the landing site. The ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, part of the 2016 ExoMars mission, will support comm

Artist's impression depicting the ExoMars 2016 entry, descent and landing demonstrator module, named Schiaparelli, on the Trace Gas Orbiter, and heading for Mars. TGO will be launched in 2016 with Schiaparelli, the entry, descent and landing demonstrator module. It will search for evidence of methane and other atmospheric gases that could be signatures of active biological or geological processes on Mars.

The New Horizons probe near 2014 MU69 - Artist's view - New Horizons near 2014 MU69 - Artwork - Artist view of the New Horizons probe near the small object of Kuiper 2014 MU69. Artist's concept of the New Horizons spacecraft flying by a possible binary 2014 MU69 on Jan. 1, 2019. Early observations of MU69 hint at the Kuiper Belt object being either a binary orbiting pair or a contact (stuck together) pair of nearly like-sized bodies with diameters near 20 and 18 kilometers (12 and 11 miles)

During Cassini's Grand Finale, the spacecraft will make 22 orbits around Saturn that carry the spacecraft over the planet's north before diving between Saturn and its rings. At the conclusion of this final set of daring orbits, the spacecraft will plunge into Saturn's atmosphere, ending its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

As depicted in this illustration, Cassini will plunge into Saturn's atmosphere on Sept 15, 2017. Using its attitude control thrusters, the spacecraft will work to keep its antenna pointed at Earth while it sends its final data, including the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere. The atmospheric torque will quickly become stronger than what the thrusters can compensate for, and after that point, Cassini will begin to tumble. When this happens, its radio connection to Earth will be severed, ending the mission. Following loss of signal, the spacecraft will burn up like a meteor in Saturn's upper atmosphere.

The first mission of the ExoMars programme, scheduled to arrive at March in 2016, consists of a Trace Gas Orbiter plus an Entry, Descent and Landing Demonstrator Module (EDM). The main objectives of this mission are to search for evidence of methane and other trace atmospheric gases that could be signatures of active biological or geological processes and to test key technologies in preparation for ESA's contribution to subsequent missions to Mars

Solar Orbiter - Solar Orbiter is a solar observation satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) developed with the participation of NASA, which is scheduled to launch in February 2019 and begin observations around 2022. The main objective of this scientific mission is to study the processes behind the solar wind, the heliospheric magnetic field, the energetic solar particles and the magnetic field of the Sun. Esa's Solar Orbiter is set to provide new views of our star, in particular providing close-up observations of the Sun's poles. Following its launch in February 2019 and three-year journey using gravity swingbys at Earth and Venus, Solar Orbiter will operate from an elliptical orbit around the Sun. At its closest it will approach our star within 42 million kilometers, closer than planet Mercury. An artist's impression of Solar Orbiter in front of the stormy Sun is depicted here

Rover Curiosity on Mars - Curiosity Mars rover selfie: Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), named Curiosity, is a NASA rover exploring the surface of Mars. This self-portrait is a composite of a dozen images taken by the robot on October 6, 2015. This self-portrait of Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at the “” Big Sky”” site, where its drill collected the mission's fifth taste of Mount Sharp. The scene combines dozens of images taken during the 1,126th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Oct. 6, 2015, PDT), by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera at the end of the rover's robotic arm. The rock drilled at this site is sandstone in the Stimson geological unit inside Gale Crater. The view is centered toward the west-northwest. It does not include the rover's robotic arm, though the shadow of the arm is visible on the ground. Wrist motions and turret rotations on the arm allowed MAHLI to acquire the mosaic's component images. The arm was positioned out of the shot

Mars Science Laboratory - Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), named Curiosity, is a NASA rover to explore the surface of Mars starting in 2012. This artist concept features Nasa's Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, a mobile robot for investigating Mars' past or present ability to sustain microbial life. Curiosity is being tested in preparation for launch in the fall of 2011. In this picture, the rover examines a rock on Mars with a set of tools at the end of the rover's arm, which extends about 2 meters (7 feet). Two instruments on the arm can study rocks up close. Also, a drill can collect sample material from inside of rocks and a scoop can pick up samples of soil. The arm can sieve the samples and deliver fine powder to instruments inside the rover for thorough analysis. The mast, or rover's “” head,”” rises to about 2.1 meters (6.9 feet) above ground level, about as tall as a basketball player. This mast supports two remote - sensing instruments: the Mast Camera, or “” eyes,”” for
