PIX4639606: Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission ready for departure - A spaceship assemblies in Earth orbit is ready to depart to Phobos, one of Mars's satellites. This ship consists of several fuel tanks and an Orion-type space capsule with three astronauts on board. No landing gear is required because the mass of Phobos is so low that this satellite can be approached by astronauts in extravehicular exit. A complete rocket system for delivering a crew of three to Mars' moon Phobos and returning them to the Earth. The vast bulk of the rocket is propellant divided into stages that are each released in turn as the mission progresses. On the far right are the crew accomodations and an attached Orion class command module. No dedicated lander is required as Phobos' mass is so low that it could be easily approached by the command module and explored by suited astrogeologists in Manned Maneuvering Units (MMUS) / Bridgeman Images

PIX4639656: Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission prepares for Phobos approach - As the spacecraft arrived in orbit around Phobos, the control module separates to move closer to the small satellite. With the Phobos mission rocket in a stable orbit near Phobos (upper right), the command module departs so that it may approach to within a few hundred yards of the martin moon. Below on Mars can be seen Meridiani Planum where Nasa's Opportunity rover landed in 2004, while it's sunset over Ganges and Eos chasmata / Bridgeman Images

PIX4639664: Mission to Phobos - Phobos mission rocket brakes for Mars orbit - After seven months of travel, the spaceship en route to Phobos brakes to orbit around Mars. After seven months traveling from Earth to Mars the Phobos mission rocket ignites its next propellant stage in order to slow down enough to enter an orbit around Mars that will bring it to within a few miles of Phobos / Bridgeman Images

Constellation program - Lunar vehicle test as part of the Nasa constellation program that is expected to take men to the Moon around 2020. Here, a prototype of a pressurised vehicle that would allow future astronauts to travel long distances. Astronaut Mike Gernhardt (visible through the glass) accompanied by geologist Brent Garry spent three days in this vehicle in real conditions of exit to the Moon. October 2008, Arizona, USA. During tests conducted for NASA's Desert Research and Technology Studies (RATS) at Black Point Lava Flow in Arizona, engineers, geologists and astronauts came together to test NASA's new Lunar Electric Rover. Astronaut Mike Gernhardt can be seen through the window and geologist Brent Garry with the Smithsonian Institution is partially visible behind him in the vehicle. The pair spent three days inside the rover, going through the motions of a real three-day geological sortie on the moon. The tests showed that using a pressurized rover would enable astronauts to explore more territory on the lunar surface by allowing them to live for days at a time inside the rover as they travel greater distances from their habitat than would be possible in a non-pressurized rover / Bridgeman Images
