Mirror of the Herschel satellite - Herschel spacecraft's mirror - Inspection of the mirror of the European Herschel satellite. The Herschel Space Observatory, scheduled to launch in 2009, will study in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel will orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. The gigantic telescope of ESA's space - based infrared observatory, Herschel, is being prepared to be assembled with its spacecraft. Herschel's telescope, which will carry the largest mirror ever flown in space, has been delivered to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre, ESTEC, where engineers and scientists are busy with the final steps that will prepare the infrared observatory for launch in 2009. ESA's Herschel Space Obser

Satellite Sentinel - 3 - Artist view - Sentinel - 3 satellite - Artist view - Artist view of the European satellite Sentinel - 3 in orbit around the Earth. The first of these Earth observation satellites of the European Copernicus programme was launched on 16 February 2016. Sentinel - 3 is arguably the most comprehensive of all the Sentinel missions for Europe's Copernicus programme. It provides systematic measurements of Earth's oceans, land, ice and atmosphere to monitor and understand large - scale global dynamics and provide critical information for ocean and weather forecasting

Microsatellite TARANIS - Elves and Sprites - Artist's view - Microsatellite TARANIS - Elves and Sprites - Artist's view of the French satellite TARANIS observing Elves (halos) and Sprites (or red sylphs, or farfadets). TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from LightNing and Sprites) will study in particular the light phenomena ephemeres (or TLE) that occur in the high atmosphere. Artist view of the CNES satellite TARANIS (for Tool for the Analysis of Radiation from Lightning and Sprites) watching elves and sprites. This microsatellite will study the transient luminous events (TLE) which appear in the high atmosphere

Lake Chad seen by satellite in 2007 - Lake Chad as seen by satellite in 2007 - Lake Chad seen by Envisat satellite on 19 December 2007. This Envisat image highlights Lake Chad, a freshwater lake located in central Africa at the junction of Chad, Cameroon, Nigeria and Niger. Lake Chad, once Africa's third largest inland water body, is located in West Africa's Sahel region - a transition zone between the Sahara Desert to the north and savannas and woodlands to the south. Because the lake is shallow, between 1 m in the northwest and 7 m in the south, it has always undergone seasonal fluctuations. However, it has shrunk dramatically over the last four decades due to a decrease in rainfall and an increase in the amount of water used for irrigation projects. Lake Chad's surface area was 25 000 sq km in the early 1960s, compared with 1350 sq km in 2001. Lake Chad is fed primarily by the Chari and Logone Rivers, which are both located in the southwest and flow northward into the lake, which do

Satellite Herschel - Illustration - Ariane 5 stage with satellite Herschel. Artwork - Artist's view of the European satellite Herschel during its launch by an Ariane 5 rocket. The Herschel Space Observatory, launched on 14 May 2009, is studying in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel is in orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory (formerly called Far Infrared and Submillimetre Telescope or FIRST) will solve the mystery of how stars and galaxies were born. Objects such as other planetary systems, or processes like the birth of galaxies in the early universe, can best be studied with infrared space telescopes in space. This is the reason for Esa's Herschel. ESA's Herschel Space Observatory

Lava lake on Io - Illustration - Lava lake on Io - Artist's view of a lava lake on the surface of Io, one of Jupiter's satellites. There are places on Io where molten lava has been observed actively welling up from beneath the surface of this otherwise frozen world. Lavas on Io were originally thought to be molten sulfur, but with caldera temperatures far exceeding 1,000o F - - too hot for liquid sulfur - - these eruptions are now thought to be primarily molten silicate rocks. In this image a dormant volcanic caldera re - awakens with a surge of new lava that breaks up and melts a frozen crust. A gibbous Jupiter hangs over the horizon

SMOS Satellite - Artist's view of the European satellite SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) in orbit around the Earth. This satellite will perform the first global mapping of soil moisture and ocean salinity. The satellite was launched and put into orbit on 2 November 2009. The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission make global observations of soil moisture over Earth's landmasses and salinity over the oceans. Variations in soil moisture and ocean salinity are a consequence of the continuous exchange of water between the oceans, the atmosphere and the land - Earth's water cycle. SMOS was launched on November 2, 2009

Le Piton de la Fournaise, Ile de la Reunion - Piton de la Fournaise, Reunion island - Le Piton de la Fournaise seen by satellite EO - 1 on 16 January 2009. This shield volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Considered one of the world's most active volcanoes, Piton de la Fournaise occupies the east - southeastern end of Reunion Island in the western Indian Ocean. It is a shield volcano with a low, broad shape that resemble an ancient warrior shield. The volcano sports an 8 - kilometer - (5 - mile -) wide crater that slopes eastward to the coast. Within that crater sits a lava shield, Dolomieu, and most of Piton de la Fournaise's historic eruptions have occurred from the summit or flanks of Dolomieu. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on Nasa's Earth Observing - 1 satellite captured this image of Piton de la Fournaise on January 16, 2009. Dolomieu is the circular feature at the center of the large crater. Lava flows from earlier eruptions have left their marks around Dolo

The volcano's most distinctive feature, its nine - kilometer wide caldera, Cha Caldera, is shown in this image. The eastern half of the crater wall is gone, erased in a massive collapse deep in its ancient history. In the center of the crater, a steep cone named Pico rises about 100 meters above the crater rim (more than a kilometer from the crater floor).

Jupiter seen from its satellite Europe - Illustration - Jupiter from Europa's surface - Illustration - Jupiter seen from the icy surface of the satellite Europe. Europa is Jupiter's fourth largest satellite and is slightly smaller than the Earth's Moon. Europa is believed to be composed of silicate rocks with a layer of water ice covering the entire surface. This image is inspired by recent discoveries on Europa of regions that look very much like pack - ice on Earth's polar seas during spring thaws. The perspective is from an altitude of several thousand feet. The large crater in the foreground is about a half - mile in diameter. It may be that beneath Europa's surface ice there is a layer of liquid water, perhaps as much as 30 miles deep. This subsurface “” ocean”” would be kept liquid by tidally generated heat
