Permanent station between the Earth and the Moon - Artist view - Lunar cycler at apogee - Artist view - Lunar Cycler is a space station placed in orbit between the Earth and the Moon whose trajectory would alternate between the Moon and 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. A lunar cycler has reached its furthest orbital point from the Earth - the apogee - and is rounding the far side of the Moon to begin its fall back towards Earth. At apogee the lunar cycler is about 300 thousand miles from the Earth and 50 thousand miles beyond the orbit of the Moon (further from Earth than any human has ventured yet). If frequent manned trips to the Moon become a reality, the earlier “” throw-away”” technologies of the Apollo lunar missions will be impractical for the long term. More efficient and reusable systems will need to be developed in order to minimize the labor an

The control module of Apollo 15 seen from the LEM - Apollo 15 Command module - The control module of Apollo 15 seen from the LEM. 30/07/1971. A view of the Apollo 15 Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit as photographed from the Lunar Module (LM) just after rendezvous. The lunar nearside is in the background. This view is looking southeast into the Sea of Fertility. The crater Taruntius is at the right center edge of the picture. The Service Module's (SM) Scientific Instrument Module (SIM) bay, which holds eight orbital science experiments, is clearly visible. While astronauts David R. Scott, commander, and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, descended in the LM to explore the Hadley - Apennine area of the moon, astronaut Alfred M. Worden, command module pilot, remained with the CSM in lunar orbit. 30 July 1971

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti floats in the International Space Station's US Destiny laboratory with a special patch presented to ISS crew members on reaching their 100th day in orbit. Together with NASA astronaut Terry Virts and Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, Samantha launched to the ISS at 20:59 GMT on 24 November 2014 with the Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft. The crew arrived at the orbital outpost some six hours later. Samantha's mission is named 'Futura' to highlight the science and technology research she is running in weightlessness to help shape our future.

Gemini 4: release of Ed.White - Gemini 4: Ed White EVA - First release of an American into space made by Edward White on June 3, 1965. On June 3, 1965 Edward H. White II became the first American to step outside his spacecraft and let go, effectively setting himself adrift in the zero gravity of space. For 23 minutes White floated and maneuvered himself around the Gemini spacecraft while logging 6500 miles during his orbital walk. White was attached to the spacecraft by a 25 foot umbilical line and a 23 - ft. tether line, both wrapped in gold tape to form one cord. In his right hand White carries a Hand Held Self Maneuvering Unit (HHSMU) which is used to move about the weightless environment of space. The visor of his helmet is gold plated to protect him from the unfiltered rays of the sun
