From Earth to Moon, then March -Illustration - Aurora program - Illustration - Aurora Programme is part of Europe's strategy for space, endorsed by the European Union Council of Research and the ESA Council in 2001. The objective of the Aurora is first to formulate and then to implement a European long-term plan for the robotic and human exploration of solar system, with Mars, the Moon and the asteroids as the most likely targets

Apollo 9: the LEM seen from the control module - Apollo 9: Lunar Module seen from the Command module - The LEM, “” Spider””, in planing configuration, seen above the Earth from the control module. 07/03/1969 The Apollo 9 Lunar Module, “” Spider,””” in a lunar landing configuration, as photographed from the Command and Service Modules on the fifth day of the Apollo 9 Earth - orbital mission. The landing gear on the “” Spider””” has been deployed. Lunar surface probes (sensors) extend out from the landing gear foot pads. Inside the “” Spider”” were astronauts James A. McDivitt, Apollo 9 commander; and Russell L. Schweickart, lunar module pilot. Astronaut David R. Scott, command module pilot, remained at the controls in the Command Module, “” Gumdrop,””” while the other two astronauts checked out the Lunar Module. Tue 7 1969

Space Shuttle - Illustration - Space Shuttle reentry - Artwork - The American Space Shuttle returns to Earth protected by its thermal shield. In order for the Space Shuttle to return to Earth it must shed 18,000 miles per hour of velocity and descend low enough to make an unpowered glide to a landing strip. With 115 tons of vehicle traveling fast enough to circle the globe once every 90 minutes, there is a tremendous amount of kinetic energy to dispose of. The Shuttle disposes this energy like every other manned space vehicle: it uses the Earth's atmosphere to convert its kinetic energy into heat. The Shuttle does this by slowly descending into the atmosphere bellyside - down at a 40 degree angle. This presents a large, blunt surface to the rushing air that continues to slow the orbiter for the next 16 minutes. Through a combination of friction and compression, the temperature of the air around the Shuttle rises to 3,000* F, hot enough to ionize the air into a glowing plasma trail that

The Space Shuttle reveals a belly covered with thousands of individual thermally protective silica tiles, scorched and charred from numerous reentries of past missions. Nine minutes after launching from Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the US Space Shuttle shuts down its engines, she's its massive external fuel tank, and enters freefall 60 miles above the Atlantic ocean. Traveling “” upside down”” at 16,700 miles per hour, the Shuttle has already put over a thousand miles between itself and the launch tower. If uncorrected however, the current trajectory will bring the orbiter back to Earth somewhere halfway around the globe.

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

The Atmospheric Re - entry Demonstrator (ARD) was released by an Ariane 5 on 21 October 1998. Engineers analysing data from its sub - orbital flight reported that all the capsule's systems had performed well and according to expectations. ARD reached an altitude of 830 km and splashed down to within 4.9 km of its target point in the Pacific Ocean between the Marquises and Hawaii after one hour and 41 minutes. Although not strictly a prototype of a possible future European Crew Transport Vehicle (CTV), which could fly to and from the International Space Station, ARD is a major step towards providing greater confidence in Europe's capabilities in reentry tech

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).

The goals of ASTP were to test the ability of American and Soviet spacecraft to rendezvous and dock in space and to open the doors to possible international rescue missions and future collaboration on manned spaceflights.

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

Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission ready for departure - A spaceship assemblies in Earth orbit is ready to depart to Phobos, one of Mars's satellites. This ship consists of several fuel tanks and an Orion-type space capsule with three astronauts on board. No landing gear is required because the mass of Phobos is so low that this satellite can be approached by astronauts in extravehicular exit. A complete rocket system for delivering a crew of three to Mars' moon Phobos and returning them to the Earth. The vast bulk of the rocket is propellant divided into stages that are each released in turn as the mission progresses. On the far right are the crew accomodations and an attached Orion class command module. No dedicated lander is required as Phobos' mass is so low that it could be easily approached by the command module and explored by suited astrogeologists in Manned Maneuvering Units (MMUS)
