Back to the Moon: the Ares 1 and Ares 5 fusees - Illustration of Ares I and Ares V Launch Vehicles - Lunar Programme Constellation. Artist's view of the two future launchers Ares 1 and Ares 5 (right). Ares 5 is a cargo rocket that will be used around 2020 to carry the landing module as well as the various elements needed to build a base on the Moon. Ares 1, previewed to operate from 2014, will take the inhabited capsule Orion, first to the destination of the international space station, then towards the moon. Lunar program Constellation. Artwork of the future launchers Ares 1 and Ares 5. Ares 1 (left) is the crew launch vehicle; it will carry Orion capsule to ISS in 2014. The larger, unmanned Ares V will be the cargo launch vehicle for project Constellation

The European launch vehicle Vega - Illustration - European Vega Launcher - Illustration - Vega is a European Space Agency (ESA) launcher capable of placing a payload of up to 2 tonnes in low orbit. It is expected that it will join from 2010 the range of launchers of the space agency, which includes launchers Soyuz and Ariane. View of Vega artist on his shooting pitch at the Guyanese Space Center (CSG) in Kourou. Artist view of the new launch pad of ESA's Vega small satellite launcher at the Guyana Space Centre (CSG), Europe's Space Port, in Kourou, French Guiana. The Vega launcher will be operated from the former Ariane Launch Complex n* 1 (ELA-1), which was deactivated in 1989. Under development since 1998, the Vega launcher is an all - solid three - stage vehicle with a liquid - fuelled injection module, based on proven technologies from Ariane 5 booster stages and Fiatavio's Zefiro solid rocket motor. Vega will be marketed and operated by Arianespace, in parallel to Ariane 5. Vega i

Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission prepares for Phobos approach - As the spacecraft arrived in orbit around Phobos, the control module separates to move closer to the small satellite. With the Phobos mission rocket in a stable orbit near Phobos (upper right), the command module departs so that it may approach to within a few hundred yards of the martin moon. Below on Mars can be seen Meridiani Planum where Nasa's Opportunity rover landed in 2004, while it's sunset over Ganges and Eos chasmata

On the evening of 29th October 2009, an Ariane 5 ECA launcher lifted off from Europe's Spaceport in English Guiana on a journey to place two telecommunications satellites, NSS - 12 and Thor 6, into geostationary transfer orbits. Flight V192 was the sixth Ariane 5 launch of 2009 and the fourth dual - payload mission. Liftoff of the 48th Ariane 5 mission took place at the start of the launch window: 21:00 CET (20:00 UT; 17:00 French Guiana). The target injection orbit had a perigee altitude of 250 km, an apogee altitude at injection of 35 786 km and an inclination of 6o. The satellites were accurately injected into their transfer orbits about 27 and 31 minutes after liftoff, respectively

This will be an historic event as it will be the first time that a Soyuz is launched from a spaceport other than Baikonur or Plesetsk. It will also be a milestone in the strategic cooperation between Europe and Russia on launchers. The Soyuz launch vehicle that will be used at Europe's Spaceport is the Soyuz - 2 version called Soyuz - ST. This includes the Fregat upper stage and the ST fairing. Soyuz - 2 is the most recent version of the renowned family of Russian launchers that began the space race more than 50 years ago by launching Sputnik, the first satellite placed in orbit, and then sending the first man into space. Soyuz - 2 will have improved performance and be able to carry up to 3 tons into geostat

Phobos mission approaching Phobos - The control module in approach to the Phobos satellite. The command module, now free of the larger Phobos mission rocket, begins a close approach to Phobos. With an average diameter of less than 12 miles, irregularly shaped Phobos has a very weak gravitational field making it relatively easy for the command module to come very close without being drawn all the way to its surface. The goal is to come close enough to permit space-suited astrogeologists equipped with personal manned maneuvering units (MMUS) to act as mini-spaceships themselves and descend to the surface. On the surface of Mars to the right can be seen Elysium Planitia and the volcano Albor Tholus

Fusee Ariane 5 ECA - 06/2008 - The Ariane 5 ECA rocket - 06/2008 - Fusee Ariane 5 ECA on its launch pad at the Guyanese Space Center in Kourou. On board, two communication satellites, the Skynet 5C satellite and the Turksat 3A satellite. Flight V183 was launched on June 13, 2008. The Ariane 5 ECA launcher, on its mobile launch table, shortly after its transfer from the Final Assembly Building at the Launch Zone (ZL - 3) of Ariane Launch Complex no.3 (ELA - 3) at the Guiana Space Centre, Europe's Spaceport. Lift - off of flight V183 took place at 00:05 CEST/Paris on 13 June (22:05 UTC/GMT; 19:05 UTC - 3/Kourou [12 June]). The satellites were accurately injected into the correct transfer orbits about 30 minutes later. The payload comprised Skynet 5C - which will deliver secure communication links for UK government and military users - and Turksat 3A - which will provide telecommunication services and direct TV broadcasting for Turkey, Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asi
