Asteroide Ida seen by Galileo probe - Asteroid Ida seen by Galileo spacecraft - Mosaic of five images obtained by the Galileo probe on 28 August 1993 between 3000 and 3800 km from the asteroid. Recolorised image. This false-color view of the asteroid 243 Ida is a mosaic of five image frames acquired by the Galileo spacecraft's solid-state imaging system at ranges of 3,057 to 3,821 kilometers (1,900 to 2,375 miles) on August 28, 1993. Ida is the second asteroid ever encountered by a spacecraft. It appears to be about 52 kilometers (32 miles) in length, more than twice as large as Gaspra, the first asteroid observed by Galileo in October 1991

Asteroides Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Asteroids Ceres and Vesta seen by the Hubble space telescope - Ceres and Vesta are the two largest bodies of the asteroid belt, a region located between Mars and Jupiter. Since August 2006, Ceres is considered a dwarf planet. Ceres (left) has a diameter of about 950 km. Image obtained in January 2004. The image on the right, obtained on 14 and 16 May 2007, shows the asteroid Vesta. Its diameter is about 530 km. These Hubble Space Telescope images of Vesta and Ceres show two of the most massive asteroids in the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. At least 100,000 asteroids inhabit the asteroid belt, a reservoir of leftover material from the formation of our solar-system planets 4.6 billion years ago. The International Astronomical Union named Ceres one of three dwarf planets in 2006. Ceres is round like planets in our solar system, but it does not clear debris out of its orbit as our planets do. The image at right was taken on May 14 and 16, 2007. Using Hubble, astronomers mapped Vesta's southern hemisphere, a region dominated by a giant impact crater formed by a collision billions of years ago. The crater is 285 miles (456 kilometers) across, which is almost equal to Vesta's 330-mile (530-kilometer) diameter. The Hubble image of Ceres on the left, taken on January 2004, reveals bright and dark regions on the asteroid's surface that could be topographic features, such as craters, and/or areas containing different surface material. Ceres has a diameter of approximately 950 kilometers

Artist's view of the asteroid Lutetia - Artist impression of the asteroid Lutetia - Artist's view of the asteroid Lutetia passing by a rocky planet 4 billion years ago. This artist's impression shows an event in the early history of the Solar System that may explain how the unusual asteroid Lutetia came to now be located in the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter. Lutetia is seen passing close to one of the very young rocky planets about four billion years ago and having its orbit drastically altered. Its unusual spectral properties indicate that Lutetia started life as a fragment of the material that was forming the inner planets but it is now found to be an interloper much further from the Sun

Inhabited mission to an asteroid - Artist's view - MMV departs for asteroid surface - This capsule should be able to take a crew of six astronauts to an asteroid, the Moon or to take men to Mars. Here, the vehicle is connected to an additional housing module for a duration of more than three months, as well as to a module for extravehicular outputs equipped with two MVs (Manned Maneuvering Vehicles). One of the MVs, pilot by an astronaut, leaves the ship and descends to the surface of the asteroid. The Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is a spacecraft project currently being developed by Lockheed Martin for NASA. Based on specifications and tests already performed for the Orion spacecraft. It was announced by NASA on 24 May 2011. A Manned Maneuvering Vehicle (MMV) piloted by a single astronaut undocks from the main vessel and prepares to descend to the surface of a small asteroid

Inhabited mission to an asteroid - Artist's view - Asteroid Lander prepares for touchdown - A living spaceship lands on the surface of an asteroid. A manned Asteroid Lander just moments before settling to the surface of an asteroid. The surface gravity is so low that the lander easily maneuvers by using just the reaction control thrusters
