Microsatellite TARANIS - Elves and Sprites - Artist's view - Microsatellite TARANIS - Elves and Sprites - Artist's view of the French satellite TARANIS observing Elves (halos) and Sprites (or red sylphs, or farfadets). TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from LightNing and Sprites) will study in particular the light phenomena ephemeres (or TLE) that occur in the high atmosphere. Artist view of the CNES satellite TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from Lightning and Sprites) watching elves and sprites. This microsatellite will study the transient luminous events (TLE) which appear in the high atmosphere

Galileo Satellite - Artist View - Galileo Satellite - Artist view - Artist view of one of the first two Galileo In - Orbit Validation (IOV) satellites intended to validate Galileo's positioning system. The Galileo network of European satellites will consist of 30 satellites at approximately 24,000 km of altitude (27 operationals, 3 reserve). Artist view one of the first Galileo In - Orbit Validation satellites. The operational Galileo system will consist of 30 satellites (27 operational+3 active spares), deployed in circular Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at an altitude of 23,616 km altitude

Satellite Sentinel - 1 - Illustration - Artist's view of the European satellite Sentinel - 1 in orbit around the Earth. This satellite has a five-metre resolution radar, is the first of a series of satellites forming the Earth monitoring network of the Copernicus programme (formerly GMES), and together they will study the changes in the Earth's environment. Sentinel-1, the first in the family of Copernicus satellites, will be used to monitor many aspects of our environment, from detecting and tracking oil spills and mapping sea ice to monitoring movement in land surfaces and mapping changes in the way land is used. It will also play a crucial role in providing timely information to help respond to natural disasters and assist humanitarian relief efforts

Sentinel - 1, the first Earth observation satellite to be built for Europe's Global Monitoring for Environment and Security 'Copernicus' programme. It is a C - band imaging radar mission to provide an all - weather day - and - night supply of imagery. The mission will benefit numerous services such as those that relate to monitoring Arctic sea - ice, routine sea - ice mapping, surveillance of the marine environment, including oil - spill monitoring and ship detection for maritime security, monitoring land - surface for motion risks, mapping for forest, water and soil management and mapping to support humanitarian aid and crisis situ

Satellite COROT - Artist's view of COROT - Artist's view of COROT - Artist's view of the satellite COROT in space. Launched at the end of December 2006, this satellite studies the physical phenomena occurring inside the stars. It is also used for the detection of extrasolar planets by observing the periodic micro-eclipses that these planets cause by passing in front of their mother star. This artist's view shows the COROT satellite, consisting of a 30 - centimetre space telescope launched in late 2006. COROT uses its telescope to monitor closely the changes in a star's brightness that comes from a planet crossing in front of it. While it is looking at a star, COROT is also able to detect 'starquakes', acoustical waves generated deep inside a star that send ripples across a star's surface, altering its brightness. The exact nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate the star's precise mass, age and chemical composition

SMOS Satellite - Artist's view of the European satellite SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) in orbit around the Earth. This satellite will perform the first global mapping of soil moisture and ocean salinity. The satellite was launched and put into orbit on 2 November 2009. The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission make global observations of soil moisture over Earth's landmasses and salinity over the oceans. Variations in soil moisture and ocean salinity are a consequence of the continuous exchange of water between the oceans, the atmosphere and the land - Earth's water cycle. SMOS was launched on November 2, 2009

Launched at the end of December 2006, this satellite studies the physical phenomena occurring inside the stars. It is also used for the detection of extrasolar planets by observing the periodic micro-eclipses that these planets cause by passing in front of their mother star. This artist's view shows the COROT satellite, consisting of a 30 - centimetre space telescope launched in late 2006. COROT uses its telescope to monitor closely the changes in a star's brightness that comes from a planet crossing in front of it. While it is looking at a star, COROT is also able to detect 'starquakes', acoustical waves generated deep inside a star that send ripples across a star's surface, altering its brightness. The exact nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate the star's precise mass, age and chemical composition

These mirrors will be tested there to ensure they will withstand the extreme temperatures of space vacuum. The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. Six of the 18 James Webb Space Telescope mirror segments are being moved into the X - ray and Cryogenic Facility, or XRCF, at Nasa's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., to eventually experience temperatures dipping to a chilling - 414 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure they can withstand the extreme space environments. The test chamber takes approximately five days to cool a mirror segment to cryogenic temperatures. Marshall's X - ray & Cryogenic Facility is the world's largest X - ray telescope test facility and a unique, cryogenic, clean room optical test location. The

Remains of the supernova of the Sails - Detail - Vela supernova remnant. Detail - Detail of the rest of the supernova of the Sails. The supernova exploded 12,000 years ago. The line that crosses the image is the trace left by the passage of a satellite during the photo shoot. Image obtained with Siding Spring's 3.9m telescope. A supernova event marks the catastrophic end - point in the life of a massive star. The self - destruction of the star releases a huge amount of energy as radiation of all kinds, but a substantial fraction of the force of the explosion blasts the outer part of the supernova into an expanding shell of matter that travels through the almost empty space between the stars. As the rapidly moving blast wave encounters the relatively stationary interstellar medium it creates a very narrow, luminous shock front that appears as a faint nebula. Because the shock front is very convoluted the nebulosity appears to be highly structured and the various colours define different

Satellite Sentinel-2 - Artist's view: Artist's view of the European Sentinel-2 satellite orbiting the Earth. This Earth observation satellite of the European programme Copernicus observes vegetation with a resolution of 10 m to 60 m, in thirteen spectral bands ranging from visible to infrared. Sentinel-2A was launched on 23 June 2015 and Sentinel-2B will be launched in 2016 - Sentinel-2 carries a high-resolution multispectral optical imager to monitor changes in vegetation for Europe's environmental monitoring Copernicus programme. This mission offers key information to optimise crop yield, thus helping to improve food security. Data can be used to measure leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll and leaf water content to monitor plant growth, which is particularly important during the growing season. It will be used to generate land-cover maps, to track changes in the way land is being used and to monitor the world's forests. In addition, Sentinel-2 provides information on pollution in lakes

Satellite MSG - 1 - Meteosat 8 - Artist's view of the European satellite MSG - 1 (Meteosat Second Generation) or Meteosat 8, in orbit around the Earth. Launched on August 28, 2002, it is a geostationary satellite located 35 600 km from Earth; dedicated to meteorology, it observes the Earth in visible, and in infrared. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), is equipped with an extremely sophisticated imaging radiometer that can separate the incoming radiation into 12 (3 with the current Meteosat) different spectral bands. Each section, four of them in the visible and eight in the thermal infrared, delivers different information. They vary from visible images of weather systems during the day to cloud temperature at night; from surface temperature and water vapour to trace gas concentrations and dust particles in the atmosphere. MSG will deliver about twenty times as much information as its predecessor Meteosat, resulting in much more accurate short and medium - range forecasts
