Dragon became the first commercially developed space vehicle to be launched to the station to join Russian, European and Japanese resupply craft that service the complex while restoring a U.S. capability to deliver cargo to the orbital laboratory. Dragon is scheduled to spend about a week docked with the station before returning to Earth on May 31 for ret

Permanent station between the Earth and the Moon - Artist view - Lunar cycler near Earth - Artist view - Lunar Cycler is a space station placed in orbit between Earth and Moon whose trajectory would lead it alternately near the Moon and near the Earth. Once positioned in orbit, this gravitational assistance vessel would use very little fuel. This project would make a permanent link between the two stars. The station is seen here arriving as close as possible to Earth, a space shuttle is preparing to reach it. A lunar cycler rounds the south pole of the Earth near perigee - its closest approach to the Earth - while a trailing future generation space shuttle prepares for a rendezvous. Once a lunar cycler has been propelled into its elliptical Earth/Moon orbit, it would require relatively little fuel over the ensuing years to maintain its orbit. One thing to note about a lunar cycler is that while it does continually orbit between the Earth and Moon, it is not a tug, i.e., the cycler does

The Skylab space station photographed from the Skylab 3 Command/Service Module during station keeping maneuvers prior to docking. Aboard the command module were astronauts Alan Bean, Owen Garriott and Jack Lousma, who remained with the Skylab space station in Earth's orbit for 59 days. Note the one solar array system wing on the Orbital Workshop (OWS) which was successfully deployed during extravehicular activity (EVA) on the first manned Skylab flight. The parasol solar shield which was deployed by the Skylab 2 crew can be seen through the support struts of the Apollo Telescope Mount. Jul 28 1973

E.DEORBIT: a satellite to clean up space - E.Deorbit grabbing debris - Artist view of the e.deorbit satellite (left) catching a satellite with a net to take it to consume in the Earth's atmosphere. e.Deorbit is a European mission project that if approved in 2019 will start in 2024. This satellite will be the first to clean up space debris. He would recapture the larger objects with his articulated arm or a net, before discharging them into the atmosphere, or they would be destroyed. ESA's proposed e.Deorbit mission, shown left, using a net to catch a derelict satellite - the baseline capture method for what would be the world's first active space debris removal mission, in 2024. The mission would first rendezvous with a large, drifting ESA satellite, then capture and secure it safely ahead of steering the combination down for a controlled burn-up in the atmosphere. As well as the baselined robot arm, additional capture technologies are being investigated, including a net and harpon. In
