Space debris. Computer artwork of space debris orbiting the Earth. Such debris ranges from the remains of failed missions to defunct satellites

Space junk
The " known" space debris in Earth orbit. These are only the pieces which can be detected from Earth by radar observation. The real number of debris is unknown

Communication satellites. Artwork of geostationary communication satellites orbiting the Earth. They operate from an orbit around 35, 900 kilometres above the Earth

Communications satellite. Artwork of an Intelsat communications satellite orbiting the Earth. Several series of the Intelsat satellites were built and placed into orbit in the 1990s

SpaceShipOne above Earth

Mir space station orbiting the Earth. Mir was launched by the USSR in February 1986 and spent 15 years in orbit around the Earth, being used to carry out numerous scientific experiments

Lunar surface, the Hadley-Apennine region of the Moon. The craters Hilbert (far left) and Kondratyuk (far right) are seen. Photographed during the Apollo 15 mission of 1971 (26 July to 7 August)

Asteroid belt, computer artwork. Asteroids are large rocks left over from the formation of the solar system. Most of the thousands of asteroids in the solar system lie in the asteroid belt

Messenger spacecraft at Mercury, computer artwork. The Messenger spacecraft is due to be launched during a 13-day window from 2 August 2004

Saturn and solar system
Solar system. Artwork of the nine planets orbiting the Sun (yellow). The planetary orbits are shown as blue lines. Distances and sizes are not to scale

Idea taking flight, conceptual art
Idea. Conceptual computer artwork of an idea taking flight, showing a winged brain flying over Earth. The image could also represent the use of intelligent satellites to study weather patterns

Skull. Computer artwork of a human skull. The bones of the cranium (top) are fused together to form a solid structure that encloses and protects the brain

Human skull, computer artwork
