Launch of the New Horizons probe by an Atlas V - New Horizons launch by an Atlas V rocket - Decolving the Atlas 5 rocket carrying the New Horizons probe. The New Horizons probe was launched on 19 January 2006 to Jupiter, then Pluto and Charon, which it will reach in 2015 and Kuiper's objects in 2020. From lightning masts surrounding the launch pad, Nasa's New Horizons spacecraft roars into the blue sky aboard an Atlas V rocket spewing flames and smoke. Liftoff was on time at 2 p.m. EST from Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. This was the third launch attempt in as many days after scrubs due to weather concerns. The compact, 1,050 - pound piano - sized probe will get a boost from a kick - stage solid propellant motor for its journey to Pluto. New Horizons will be the fastest spacecraft ever launched, reaching lunar orbit distance in just nine hours and passing Jupiter 13 months later. The New Horizons science payload, developed under direction of Southwest Resear

Pioneer Plate - The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 probes have embarked on a plate called the Pioneer Plate with a message intended for potential aliens. On this engraved metal plate are depicted a naked man and woman, the location of our Sun as well as 14 pulsars, the trajectory of the probe in the solar system... Pioneer 10 was launched on 3 March 1972 with as its first destination, the Jupiter planet, which it flew over on 3 December 1973; it was the first space probe to approach this planet; it was also the first space probe to leave the solar system.

The International Space Station (ISS) 02/2008 - The International Space Station (ISS) 02/2008 - The International Space Station (ISS) seen from Shuttle Atlantis before returning to Earth on February 18, 2008. Backdropped by Earth's horizon and the blackness of space, the International Space Station is seen from Space Shuttle Atlantis as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation. Earlier the STS - 122 and Expedition 16 crews concluded almost nine days of cooperative work onboard the shuttle and station. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 3:24 a.m. (CST) on Feb. 18, 2008

ATV Jules Verne - The Jules Verne ATV - View of the first European automatic freighter ATV christens Jules Verne, approaching the international space station on 31 March 2008. Intended to refuel the station with various equipment, the ATV, with several tons of fuel on board, will be used to bring the station back into its orbit. Jules Verne moored at the station on 3 April 2008. Backdropped by the blackness of space, the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) approaches the International Space Station on Monday, March 31, 2008, for its “” Demo Day 2”” practice maneuvers. It moved to within 36 feet of the Zvezda Service Module in a rehearsal for docking on april 3rd

Space Debris - Space Debris - The tool bag used by astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper floats in space. On the first extravehicular exit of the STS - 126 mission on 18 November 2008, the astronaut let him escape, becoming a space debris. 18 Nov. 2008 - An extravehicular activity (EVA) tool bag drifts away from the International Space Station during the mission's first scheduled spacewalk for STS - 126. About halfway into the spacewalk, one of the grease guns that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper (out of frame), mission specialist, was preparing to use on the SARJ released some Braycote grease into her crew lock bag, which is the tool bag the spacewalkers use during their activities. As she was cleaning the inside of the bag, it drifted away from her and toward the aft and starboard portion of the International Space Station. Inside the bag were two grease guns, scrapers, several wipes and tethers and some tool caddies

Neptune - Voyager 2 - Image of the Great Dark Spot on Neptune obtained by the Voyager 2 probe on August 23, 1989. The Great Dark Spot is the size of the Earth and winds are blowing at 300 m/s. This spot has now disappeared but other dark spots have been detected since then. Date: 08/23/89 Range: 2.8 million km. (1.7 million miles) Smallest Resolvable Feature: 50 km or 31 miles This Voyager 2 image shows the last face on view of the Great Dark Spot that Voyager 2 will take with the narrow angle camera. It was made 45 hours before the closest approach to Neptune. the image shows feathery white clouds that overlie the boundary of the dark and light blue regions. the pinwheel (spiral) structure of both the dark boundary and the white cirrus suggest a storm system rotating counterclockwise. Periodic, small - scale patterns in the white clouds, possibly waves, are short - lived and do not persist from one Neptunian rotation to the next. This color composite was made from the clear and green
