Shuttle Challenger and Himalayas 10/1984 - Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau with shuttle Challenger - Part of the Himalayas and Tibet Plateau seen by Shuttle Challenger in October 1984. The Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau (also known as the Qinghai - Xizang Plateau) shown in this photograph were formed and continue to be modified by the convergent collision of two of the world's great continental tectonic plates, the Eurasian and the Indian - Australian. Towards the horizon, hazy and dusty conditions seem to exist on the Indo - Gangetic Plain of northern India (southwest) and the Takla Makan Desert of western China (northwest)

Lake MacKay, Australia - Lake MacKay, Australia - Lake Mackay is Australia's fourth largest lake. Located on the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory, this dirty lake has an area of 4,737 km2. Located in the heart of the great sand desert, it is an ephemere lake that only appears in the rain. Image obtained on 15 March 2017 by the Sentinel-2B satellite. Located on the border of the states of Western Australia and Northern Territory, the salt lake only sees water after seasonal rainfall - if at all. It is classified as an ephemeral lake, meaning it exists only after precipitation. This is not the same as a seasonal lake, which sees water for longer periods. The greens and blues in this image show desert vegetation or algae, soil moisture and minerals - mainly salt. On some of the brown 'islands' and on the shore in the lower right, we can see the east-west sand ridges forming lines in the landscape. The lake lies at the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, which covers

Earth seen by satellite DSCOVR - Earth seen by satellite DSCOVR - Earth photo obtained by satellite Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) on July 6, 2015. This satellite, launched on 11 February 2015, and placed in orbit 1.6 million km, at the point of Lagrange L1 (about 4 times farther than the orbit of the Moon), allows us to obtain views of the Earth as a whole. The journey has been a long one for the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). Once known as Triana, the satellite was conceived in 1998 to provide continuous views of Earth, to monitor the solar wind, and to measure fluctuations in Earth's albedo. The mission was put on hold in 2001, and the partly - built satellite ended up in storage for several years with an uncertain future. In 2008, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA, and the U.S. Air Force decided to refurbish and update the spacecraft for launch

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Ariane 5 stage with satellite Herschel. Artwork - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel during its launch by an Ariane 5 rocket. The Herschel Space Observatory, launched on 14 May 2009, is studying 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 is in 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

Back to the Moon: MPCV module - Artist view - The MPCV spacecraft in space - The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) above Earth. 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 (DSV) may be flying within the next decade. Like the Apollo Command/Service Modules which last flew in 1973, the DSV will be a crewed spacecraft capable of independently navigating beyond Earth orbit to the Moon and beyond

Release of F. Chang-Diaz 06/2002 - Astronaut F. Chang-Diaz EVA. 06/2002: Extravehicular release of Franklin R. Chang-Diaz. 09/06/2002. Astronaut Franklin R. Chang-Diaz works with a grapple fixture during extravehicular activity (EVA) to perform work on the International Space Station (ISS). The first spacewalk of the STS-111 mission began with the installation of a Power and Data Grapple Fixture (PDGF) for the station's robotic arm on the complex's P6 truss. The PDGF will allow the robotic arm to grip the P6 truss for future station assembly operations. Astronauts Chang-Diaz and Philippe Perrin (with French Space Agency, CNES) went on to install the new fixture about halfway up the P6 truss, the vertical structure that currently supports the station's set of large U.S. solar arrays.

Anderson later jettisoned the EAS by shoving it opposite of the station's direction of travel. The EAS was installed on the P6 truss during STS-105 in August 2001, as an ammonia reservoir if a leak had occurred. It was never used, and was no longer needed after the permanent cooling system was activated last December. The blackness of space and Earth's horizon provide the backdrop for the scene.

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
