Artist's view of the New Horizons probe near Pluto - New Horizons over Pluto and Charon - Artist's view of the New Horizons probe near Pluto and its largest satellite Charon. 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. Nasa's New Horizons unmanned spacecraft over dwarf planet Pluto and its moon Charon. New Horizons has been en route to Pluto since its launch from Earth in 2006 and is scheduled to make its closest approach on 14 July 2015. New Horizons is about the size and shape of a grand piano and weighed 1,054 pounds at launch. The high - gain dish antenna is about 7 feet in diameter and is employed for communication with the Earth. In this image the New Horizons spacecraft is about 10,000 miles from Pluto (upper right), 22,000 miles from its largest moon Charon (upper left) and 2.97 billion miles from the Earth.

The probe Mars 96 - Artist view - Mars 96 spacecraft - Artist view - Landing sequence of a mini - station. In addition to its observations in Martian orbit, this probe was to launch two stations and two penetrators on Martian soil. Launched in 1996, the probe could not leave Earth orbit and disintegrate. Mini - landing sequence stations. Artwork showing the mission sequence of soviet March 96 spacecraft. Two surface stations and two penetrators should be deployed on the martian surface. Launched in 1996, a rocket failure happened and the probe was desintegrated in the Earth atmosphere

Bepicolombo will be a mission to explore the planet Mercury, carried out jointly by the Japanese Space Agency and the European Space Agency. Its launch is scheduled for October 2018, to reach Mercure in 2025. Two probes form the Bepicolombo mission, the Mercury Planet Orbiter (DFO), which will perform a complete mapping of the Mercury Surface and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO), which will study the Mercurian magnetosphere. Here, the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO) orbiting Mercury.

New Horizons near Pluto and Charon - Artist's view of the New Horizons probe near Pluto and its largest satellite Charon. 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. Nasa's New Horizons unmanned spacecraft flies by dwarf planet Pluto and its moon Charon. New Horizons has been en route to Pluto since its launch from Earth in 2006 and is scheduled to make its closest approach on 14 July 2015. New Horizons is about the size and shape of a grand piano and weighed 1,054 pounds at launch. The high - gain dish antenna is about 7 feet in diameter and is employed for communication with the Earth. In this image the New Horizons spacecraft is about 11,000 miles from Pluto (lower left), 23,000 miles from its largest moon Charon (upper right) and 2.97 billion miles from the Earth. While little is known about Pluto's appearance, here this Kuiper belt dwarf planet is realized as a frozen world cove

Rover Curiosity on Mars - Curiosity Mars rover selfie: Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), named Curiosity, is a NASA rover exploring the surface of Mars. This self-portrait is a composite of a dozen images taken by the robot on October 6, 2015. This self-portrait of Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at the “” Big Sky”” site, where its drill collected the mission's fifth taste of Mount Sharp. The scene combines dozens of images taken during the 1,126th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Oct. 6, 2015, PDT), by the Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) camera at the end of the rover's robotic arm. The rock drilled at this site is sandstone in the Stimson geological unit inside Gale Crater. The view is centered toward the west-northwest. It does not include the rover's robotic arm, though the shadow of the arm is visible on the ground. Wrist motions and turret rotations on the arm allowed MAHLI to acquire the mosaic's component images. The arm was positioned out of the shot

Mars Science Laboratory - Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), named Curiosity, is a NASA rover to explore the surface of Mars starting in 2012. This artist concept features Nasa's Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, a mobile robot for investigating Mars' past or present ability to sustain microbial life. Curiosity is being tested in preparation for launch in the fall of 2011. In this picture, the rover examines a rock on Mars with a set of tools at the end of the rover's arm, which extends about 2 meters (7 feet). Two instruments on the arm can study rocks up close. Also, a drill can collect sample material from inside of rocks and a scoop can pick up samples of soil. The arm can sieve the samples and deliver fine powder to instruments inside the rover for thorough analysis. The mast, or rover's “” head,”” rises to about 2.1 meters (6.9 feet) above ground level, about as tall as a basketball player. This mast supports two remote - sensing instruments: the Mast Camera, or “” eyes,”” for

Phoenix landed on a vast plain north of Mars, in the Vastitas Borealis region. This view is a polar projection that combines more than 500 exposures taken by the Surface Stereo Imager camera on Nasa's Mars Phoenix Lander and projects them as if looking down from above. The black circle on the spacecraft is where the camera itself is mounted on the lander, out of view in images taken by the camera. North is toward the top of the image. The lander's meteorology mast extends above the southwest horzon and is topped by the telltale wind gauge. The ground surface around the lander has polygonal patterning similar to patterns in permafrost areas on Earth. The landing site is at 68.22 degree

Probe Penetrator Mars 96 - Penetrator of the Mars 96 spacecraft - Cross-section view of one of the two penetrators of the Mars 96 probe. Numerous measuring instruments were incorporated. The lower part was to sink several metres into the Martian soil. Launched in 1996, the probe could not leave Earth orbit and disintegrate. Cutaway of a penetrator deployed on the martian surface showing the different experiments in the forebody and in the afterbody. The forebody should be separated from the afterbody and dive several meters into the martian soil. Launched in 1996, a rocket failure happened and the probe was desintegrated in the Earth atmosphere

LCROSS Probe - Artist View - LCROSS - Artist view - LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) is a space probe of NASA whose aim is to discover the presence of water ice in a crater perpetually in the shade of the Sun at the southern pole of the Moon. LCROSS must analyze the impact created by the top floor of its Atlas 5 launcher precipitates in this crater. LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) should be launched in June 2009 with Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) payload aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. LCROSS will seek a definitive answer about the presence of water ice at the lunar south pole using the spent second stage Atlas Centaur rocket that will impact on the moon's surface
