Pioneer Venus - The Pioneer Venus Project was a NASA space exploration mission to Venus launched in 1978. It consisted of two separate probes, one to study Venus from its orbit (Pioneer Venus Orbiter) and the other to analyze the atmosphere of the planet through 4 atmospheric probes (Pioneer Venus Multiprobe). An artist concept of the orbiter and multiprobe approaching Venus are shown here shortly after probes release - Top to bottom - night probe, day probe sounder probe, North probe, followed by the bus (Note: this original painting's orientation is upside - down)

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 images taken by the robot on August 5, 2015. This low-angle self-portrait of Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at the site from which it reached down to drill into a rock target called “” Buckskin”” on lower Mount Sharp. The selfie combines several component images taken by Curiosity's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) on Aug. 5, 2015, during the 1,065th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars. For scale, the rover's wheels are 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diameter and about 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide

This self-portrait of Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at “” Namib Dune,””” where the rover's activities included scuffing into the dune with a wheel and scooping samples of sand for laboratory analysis. The scene combines 57 images taken on Jan. 19, 2016, during the 1,228th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars. The camera used for this is the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) at the end of the rover's robotic arm. The view does not include the rover's arm. 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 in the images, or portions of images, that were used in this mosaic. For scale, the rover's wheels are 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diamet

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

Exploration of Mars-Illustration - Mars rover rendezvous - The exploration of Mars by men will require vehicles that can take a crew long distances and will have to provide them with all the necessary protection against this hostile environment. A pair of manned Mars rovers rendezvous on the martian surface. Humans may one day explore the martian surface with the help of pressurized rovers that would provide a shirt sleeve environment while protecting them from the deadly extremes of the martian environment. In this image each rover provides transportation and life support for two crew members. By traveling in pairs each rover can provide backup for the other, and if necessary a single rover could serve as refuge and transportation for all four explorers

With the space tug firmly docked with the lunar lander, the two will function as a single spacecraft for the duration of a 3-day trip to the moon. The pair would likely spend some time in Earth orbit prior to departure, checking systems and preparing the lander for its eventual journey to the Moon's surface. The lunar lander pictured here has capacity for a crew of four plus cargo. The space tug itself could have a crew of two, making the total crew capacity of the joined spacecraft about the same as today's Space Shuttle

Astronauts on Titan - Illustration - First steps on Titan - Astronauts explore Titan's surface. Perhaps some day in the far future humans will set foot on Saturn's mysterious moon Titan, one of the most interesting worlds in the Solar System. Larger than the planet Mercury, Earth's moon, and the dwarf planet Pluto, and second only in size to Jupiter's satellite Ganymede, Titan is the only known extraterrestrial world with a dense atmosphere that realistically could be visited by humans. A visit to Titan would require a space journey of a year or more and traverse over 700 million miles. Beneath Titan's 350 miles of atmosphere, intrepid explorers would likely find a dark, forbidding landscape of rock, ice, and possibly tarry layers of hydrocarbons and lakes of liquid ethane and/or methane (AKA natural gas). The Surface temperature would be around minus 300* F, cold enough to freeze exposed human tissue within seconds. There would be no oxygen to breathe, and any water to be found would

Back to the Moon: the MPCV module in lunar orbit - Artist view - The MPCV spacecraft in lunar orbit - The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) orbit around the Moon. This capsule should be able to take a crew of six astronauts to the moon and could be used to take men to Mars. The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is a spacecraft project currently being developed by Lockheed Martin for NASA. Based on specifications and tests already performed for the Orion spacecraft. It was announced by NASA on 24 May 2011. The next generation Deep Space Vehicle's (DSV) crew capsule, aka Command Module, will be similar to the Apollo Command Module in shape, however it will be somewhat larger, with enough room - depending upon the mission - for as many as 6 astronauts versus Apollo's three. The DSV would also supplement its electrical power with two arrays of solar voltaics which would aid in extending its mission endurance beyond Apollo's 14 day limit

One of the STS - 88 astronauts aimed a 35 mm camera through Endeavour's aft flight deck windows to record this Dec. 5 image of the Unity connecting module as it was being unberthed in the cargo bay. The berthing and mating process constituted the first link in a long chain of events that led up to the eventual deployment in Earth orbit of the connected Unity and Zarya modules later in the 11 - day mission.

Satellite MSG - 1 - Meteosat 8 - Artist's view of the European satellite MSG - 1 (Meteosat Second Generation) or Meteosat 8, in orbit around the Earth. Launched on August 28, 2002, it is a geostationary satellite located 35 600 km from Earth; dedicated to meteorology, it observes the Earth in visible, and in infrared. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), is equipped with an extremely sophisticated imaging radiometer that can separate the incoming radiation into 12 (3 with the current Meteosat) different spectral bands. Each section, four of them in the visible and eight in the thermal infrared, delivers different information. They vary from visible images of weather systems during the day to cloud temperature at night; from surface temperature and water vapour to trace gas concentrations and dust particles in the atmosphere. MSG will deliver about twenty times as much information as its predecessor Meteosat, resulting in much more accurate short and medium - range forecasts
