Recuperation of samples from the Stardust probe - Stardust sample return capsule - Artwork - The Stardust probe was launched on February 7, 1999 with the primary objective of studying comet Wild 2 and taking samples during a passage through the comet's hair. Stardust was the first probe to collect and bring back to Earth interstellar and cometary dust. The return capsule landed on Earth on 15 January 2006 with the samples. Artist's view. Stardust is an interplanetary spacecraft, whose primary purpose was to investigate the makeup of the comet Wild 2 and its coma. It was launched on February 07 1999 and returned to Earth on January 15 2006. It is the first sample return mission to collect cosmic dust and return the sample to Earth; the capsule contains cometary and interstellar samples gathered by the Stardust spacecraft

The Dawn probe near Ceres - Artist's view - Dawn approaches Ceres - Artist view of the Dawn probe near the dwarf planet Ceres. In February 2015 the unmanned Dawn spacecraft is scheduled to arrive at the dwarf planet Ceres. The 65 foot long, 2.5 ton probe was launched from the Earth in 2007, passed March in 2009, and went into orbit around the protoplanet Vesta in July 2011 where it stayed until September 2012. Once in orbit around Ceres, Dawn is expected to operate for about a year making observations of this largest object in the asteroid belt. In this image Dawn's three xenon electrostatic ion thrusters can be seen emitting ionized xenon's characteristic blue/magenta glow, gently propelling the probe toward Ceres. While the ion engines have relatively low specific thrust (about equal to the weight of a few sheets of paper), they can operate continuously for long periods making efficient use of the approximately 1,000 pounds of xenon propellant onboard. The wing - like solar arrays pr

The Mars Express and Beagle 2 probe - Artist view - Mars Express and Beagle 2 - Separation of the Beagle 2 module. The Beagle 2 landing gear that was supposed to perform analysis on the surface of Mars did not work. The European Mars Express probe was launched on 2 June 2003 and began its observations in early 2004. Illustration showing the separation of Beagle 2 from Mars Express. Beagle 2 was lost but the european spaceprobe Mars Express began its March observations in 2004

Artist's view of the New Horizons probe near Pluto - The New Horizons spacecraft near Pluto - 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 reached in 2015 and Kuiper's objects in 2020. Artist's concept of the New Horizons spacecraft as it approaches Pluto and its largest moon, Charon, in July 2015. The craft's miniature cameras, radio science experiment, ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers and space plasma experiments will characterize the global geology and geomorphology of Pluto and Charon, map their surface compositions and temperatures, and examine Pluto's atmosphere in detail. The spacecraft's most prominent design feature is a nearly 7 - foot (2.1 - meter) dish antenna, through which it will communicate with Earth from as far as 4.7 billion miles (7.5 billion kilometers) away

The spacecraft's most prominent design feature is a nearly 7 - foot (2.1 - meter) dish antenna, through which it will communicate with Earth from as far as 4.7 billion miles (7.5 billion kilometers) away

New Horizons closest approach to Pluto - 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 into the shadow of 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 will be traveling at a velocity relative to Pluto of 30,800 mph, far too fast for it to enter orbit around and become a satellite of Pluto. Instead after passing Pluto, New Horizons will continue farther into the Kuiper belt searching for other objects with diameters of 30 to 60 miles. 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 communicati

Juno Probe - Solar Panels - Juno Solar Panels - View of the solar panels of the Juno probe in operation verification. Launched in 2011, the Juno probe will reach Jupiter in 2016. It will then hold the record for the farthest solar power probe ever sent. Technicians at Astrotech's payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla. stow solar array # 2 against the body of Nasa's Juno spacecraft. Launching from Earth in 2011, the Juno spacecraft will arrive at Jupiter in 2016 to study the giant planet from an elliptical, polar orbit. When Juno arrives at Jupiter in 2016, it will be farther from the sun than any previous solar powered mission. The choice of solar power for Juno necessitates very large solar arrays with dimensions of 2.65 meters wide by 8.9 meters long (about 9 feet wide by 29 feet long). Once in orbit at the giant planet, the three arrays will provide about 450 watts of electricity for Juno

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. 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

The Phoenix probe on its landing site - Phoenix landing site, vertical projection - Mosaic of images in vertical projection showing the Phoenix probe placed on Martian soil. The black circle corresponds to the position of the probe camera. The 500 clicks needed to make this image were taken between June 5 and July 12, 2008. Phoenix landed on a vast plain north of Mars, in the Vastitas Borealis region. This view is a vertical 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 height of the lander's meteorology mast, extending towards the southwest, appears exaggerated because that mast is taller than the camera mast.

A probe explores Europe's underground ocean - Illustration - Europa Submersible Probe - Illustration - Artist's view of a space probe exploring Europe's underground ocean. Ice covers the surface of this Jupiter satellite; it is believed that under the tens of km thick of this ice, water in the liquid state could exist. A remote - controlled submersible probe pokes around beneath the icy mantle of Europa. The probe is designed to fit down a narrow hole, with the lights mounted on deployable rods, and small motorized wheels mounted on the fairings (hard to see here). Antennae trail behind. Power and warmth are provided by a SNAP generator near the rear. Stereo cameras are in front. Water intakes for chemical analysis are behind the front fairing. Attitude control is provided by small thrusters. Main propulsion comes from a small propellor equipped with a Kort nozzle. The oceans of Europa and the other Galilean moons could prove to be the most surprising environments in the solar system
