ISS: Tranquility module transfer - 02/2010 - Tranquility module transfer - 02/2010 - The Tranquility module (Node - 3) is transferred from the cargo compartment of the space shuttle Endeavour to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS). 11 February 2010. In the grasp of the station's Canadarm2, the Tranquility module is transferred from its stowage position in space shuttle Endeavour's (STS - 130) payload bay to position it on the port side of the Unity node of the International Space Station (ISS). Tranquility was locked in place with 16 remotely - controlled bolts. February 11 2010

The International Space Station (ISS) 03/2011 - The International Space Station (ISS) 03/2011 - View of the International Space Station from Space Shuttle Discovery at the end of the STS - 133 mission on 7 March 2011. The International Space Station is featured in this image photographed by an STS - 133 crew member on space shuttle Discovery after the station and shuttle began their post - undocking relative separation. Undocking of the two spacecraft occurred at 7 a.m. (ST) on March 7, 2011. Discovery spent eight days, 16 hours, and 46 minutes attached to the orbiting laboratory

Cargo SpaceX Dragon 03/2013 - The SpaceX Dragon automatic module seen from the International Space Station (ISS) at mooring on March 3, 2013. SpaceX Dragon is the first private company spacecraft to be used to join the international space station. This is one of a series of photos taken by the Expedition 34 crew members aboard the International Space Station during the March 3 2013 approach, capture and docking of the SpaceX Dragon. Thus the capsule begins its scheduled three - week - long stay at the orbiting space station

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) - JWST in clean room: Curvature measurements of the JWST Space Telescope (James Webb Space Telescope) at Nasa's Goddard Space Center. The JWST will replace the Hubble Space Telescope in 2018. Equipped with a 6.5 m mirror, he will observe the universe mainly in infrared. Engineers and technicians working on the James Webb Space Telescope successfully completed the first important optical measurement of Webb's fully assembled primary mirror, called a Center of Curvature test. Taking a “” before””” optical measurement of the telescope's deployed mirror is crucial before the telescope goes into several stages of rigorous mechanical testing. These tests will simulate the violent sound and vibration environments the telescope will experience inside its rocket on its way out into space. This environment is one of the most stressful structurally and could alter the shape and alignment of Webb's primary mirror, which could degrade or, in the worst case, ruin it

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

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

A live module or CEV (Crew exploration vehicle) type Orion is moored to the inflatable module. A spacious inflatable habitat is attached to the International Space Station (ISS) with a manned Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) docked on one end. This inflatable habitat, much larger than any existing ISS module, is a combination of layers of flexible material capped by sturdy docking hardware at either end. The inflatable portion is collapsed and sandwiched between the docking hardware portions for launch from earth and then inflated and pressurized with a breathable atmosphere once in orbit. The habitat features a pair of 42 x 24 inch windows to the outside.

It is located about 7000 light years from Earth in the constellation Taurus. At the heart of this nebula is a pulsar. To obtain this photo, three spatial observatories combined their observations: the Hubble telescope for the visible part (here in red and yellow), the Chandra telescope for the X-ray data (blue) and the Spitzer telescope for the infrared image (purple). The pulsar is the bright spot in the center of the image. The Crab Nebula (M1) is a supernova remnant at about 7,000 light - year from Earth in the constellation Taurus.

The Sunshield is about the length of a tennis court, and will be folded up like an umbrella around the Webb telescope's mirrors and instruments during launch. Once it reaches its orbit, the Webb telescope will receive a command from Earth to unfold, and separate the Sunshield's five layers into their precisely stacked arrangement with its kite-like shape
