PIX4640538 Space debris - Artist view - Space debris - Artist view - Approximately 11,000 objects over 10 cm have been identified around the Earth. Most of these debris is in low orbit. The number of debris between 10 cm and 1 cm in diameter, greater than 100,000; particles less than 1 cm must exceed 10 million. Approximately 11,000 objects larger than 10 cm are known to exist around the Earth. The estimated population of particles between 1 and 10 cm in diameter is greater than 100,000. The number of particles smaller than 1 cm probably exceeds tens of millions

PIX4650252 Space Shuttle - Illustration - Space Shuttle reentry - Artwork - The American Space Shuttle returns to Earth protected by its thermal shield. In order for the Space Shuttle to return to Earth it must shed 18,000 miles per hour of velocity and descend low enough to make an unpowered glide to a landing strip. With 115 tons of vehicle traveling fast enough to circle the globe once every 90 minutes, there is a tremendous amount of kinetic energy to dispose of. The Shuttle disposes this energy like every other manned space vehicle: it uses the Earth's atmosphere to convert its kinetic energy into heat. The Shuttle does this by slowly descending into the atmosphere bellyside - down at a 40 degree angle. This presents a large, blunt surface to the rushing air that continues to slow the orbiter for the next 16 minutes. Through a combination of friction and compression, the temperature of the air around the Shuttle rises to 3,000* F, hot enough to ionize the air into a glowing plasma trail that extends for miles behind the Shuttle. One effect of this plasma is to block all radio contact between the orbiter and ground control during the duration of reentry. The Shuttle withstands the punishment of reentry via a thermal protection system that consists of thousands of individual silica tiles. The tiles, which are essentially bricks of very pure quartz sand, prevent heat transfer to the underlying orbiter aluminum skin and structure

Launched on August 28, 2002, it is a geostationary satellite located 35 600 km from Earth; dedicated to meteorology, it observes the Earth in visible, and in infrared. Meteosat Second Generation (MSG), is equipped with an extremely sophisticated imaging radiometer that can separate the incoming radiation into 12 (3 with the current Meteosat) different spectral bands. Each section, four of them in the visible and eight in the thermal infrared, delivers different information. They vary from visible images of weather systems during the day to cloud temperature at night; from surface temperature and water vapour to trace gas concentrations and dust particles in the atmosphere. MSG will deliver about twenty times as much information as its predecessor Meteosat, resulting in much more accurate short and medium - range forecasts

PIX4634092 Lake MacKay, Australia - Lake MacKay, Australia - Lake Mackay is Australia's fourth largest lake. Located on the border between Western Australia and the Northern Territory, this dirty lake has an area of 4,737 km2.

Located on the border of the states of Western Australia and Northern Territory, the salt lake only sees water after seasonal rainfall - if at all. It is classified as an ephemeral lake, meaning it exists only after precipitation. This is not the same as a seasonal lake, which sees water for longer periods. The greens and blues in this image show desert vegetation or algae, soil moisture and minerals - mainly salt. On some of the brown 'islands' and on the shore in the lower right, we can see the east-west sand ridges forming lines in the landscape.

PIX4650255 Space Shuttle - Illustration - The Space Shuttle enters Earth orbit - Artwork - The American Space Shuttle maneuvers to position itself in orbit around the Earth. The Space Shuttle reveals a belly covered with thousands of individual thermally protective silica tiles, scorched and charred from numerous reentries of past missions. Nine minutes after launching from Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the US Space Shuttle shuts down its engines, she's its massive external fuel tank, and enters freefall 60 miles above the Atlantic ocean. Traveling “” upside down”” at 16,700 miles per hour, the Shuttle has already put over a thousand miles between itself and the launch tower. If uncorrected however, the current trajectory will bring the orbiter back to Earth somewhere halfway around the globe. In order to propel the Shuttle to it's final orbit - - anywhere from 116 and 600 miles high - - the two Orbital Maneuvering System thrusters (the smallest nozzles near the tail) will fire until the target altitude is reached

PIX4602546 H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) - The H-II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) is an uninhabited spacecraft of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is used to supply the International Space Station (ISS). Image obtained from the International Space Station on September 17, 2009. Backdropped by a blue and white part of Earth and the blackness of space, the unpiloted English H - II Transfer Vehicle (HTV) approaches the International Space Station. Once the HTV was in range, NASA astronaut Nicole Stott, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Robert Thirsk and European Space Agency astronaut Frank De Winne, all Expedition 20 flight engineers, used the station's robotic arm to grab the cargo craft and attach it to the Earth - facing port of the Harmony node. The attachment was completed at 5:26 (CDT) on Sep 17, 2009. A Russian spacecraft docked to the station is at bottom right
