Juno Probe - Artist's View - Juno Artist's Rendering - Artist's View of Juno Probe in orbit around Jupiter. Launch in 2011, the Juno probe will reach Jupiter in 2016. Launching from Earth in 2011, the Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 to study the giant planet from an elliptical, polar orbit. Juno will repeatedly dive between the planet and its intense belts of charged particle radiation, coming only 5,000 kilometers (about 3,000 miles) from the cloud tops at closest approach. Juno's primary goal is to improve our understanding of Jupiter's formation and evolution. The spacecraft will spend a year investigating the planet's origins, interior structure, deep atmosphere and magnetosphere. Juno's study of Jupiter will help us to understand the history of our own solar system and provide new insight into how planetary systems form and develop in our galaxy and beyond

The New Horizons probe near 2014 MU69 - Artist's View - New Horizons and 2014 MU69 (single) - Artwork: Artist's view of the New Horizons probe near the small object of Kuiper 2014 MU69. Observations in 2017 show that 2014 MU69 would be either a binary object (model favors), in contact or not, or a single object lengthens (as here). Speculative illustration of Nasa's New Horizons interplanetary probe flying by classical Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69, about 3 billion miles from the Earth, on 1 January 2019. 2014 MU69 is either a single elongated object about 30 miles long, or two smaller objects orbiting very closely together, maybe even touching; this image illustrates the latter. 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

The Cassini and Saturn probe - Cassini spacecraft at Saturn - Artist's view of the Cassini probe above the northern hemisphere of Saturn. This illustration shows Cassini above Saturn's northern hemisphere prior to making one of its Grand Finale dives. During Cassini's Grand Finale, the spacecraft will make 22 orbits around Saturn that carry the spacecraft over the planet's north before diving between Saturn and its rings. At the conclusion of this final set of daring orbits, the spacecraft will plunge into Saturn's atmosphere, ending its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

As depicted in this illustration, Cassini will plunge into Saturn's atmosphere on Sept 15, 2017. Using its attitude control thrusters, the spacecraft will work to keep its antenna pointed at Earth while it sends its final data, including the composition of Saturn's upper atmosphere. The atmospheric torque will quickly become stronger than what the thrusters can compensate for, and after that point, Cassini will begin to tumble. When this happens, its radio connection to Earth will be severed, ending the mission. Following loss of signal, the spacecraft will burn up like a meteor in Saturn's upper atmosphere.

Solar Orbiter - Solar Orbiter is a solar observation satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA) developed with the participation of NASA, which is scheduled to launch in February 2019 and begin observations around 2022. The main objective of this scientific mission is to study the processes behind the solar wind, the heliospheric magnetic field, the energetic solar particles and the magnetic field of the Sun. Artist impression of Solar Orbiter in front of the Sun (not to scale). Following its launch in February 2019 and three-year journey using gravity swingbys at Earth and Venus, Solar Orbiter will operate from an elliptical orbit around the Sun. At its closest it will approach our star within 42 million kilometers, closer than planet Mercury. Solar Orbiter's over-arching mission goals are to examine how the Sun creates and controls the heliosphere, the extended atmosphere of the Sun in which we reside, and the effects of solar activity on it. Solar Orbiter is an ESA-led mission wit

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

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
