+++ Update +++ Rosetta's lander Philae is safely on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, as these first two CIVA images confirm. One of the lander's three feet can be seen in the foreground. DLR's Rosetta special http://www.dlr.de/en/rosetta ------------ After a 10-year journey of some
Learn about the Voyager 2 mission to Neptune in this video from NASA. Voyager 2 reached Neptune in 1989, 12 years after launch, and the flyby was the first and only time a spacecraft has visited Neptune. The planet appears blue because of the methane in its atmosphere. Voyager 2 discovered at least

Explore the planet Uranus through information gathered by the Voyager 2 spacecraft that first reached the planet in January 1986, more than eight years and 2 billion miles after its launch. As the animation explains, Uranus spins like a top tilted on its side and has a peculiar magnetic field. Rings

Imagine for a second, a skyscraper, the tallest skyscraper ever built, that’s 100 kilometers tall. You could take an elevator from the ground floor of this skyscraper all the way up to where space begins to a sky bar where you could look at the earth below, and maybe even be launched into space from
From the more than 28,000 images acquired by Dawn between July 2011 and August 2012, DLR scientists computed a global digital surface model of Vesta. Ralf Jaumann, head of DLR's Dawn scientific team, explains a few spectacular observations with the help of this virtual flight over Vesta. The animati

In 1977, The Voyager program sent two spacecraft to explore the solar system and travel to interstellar space. In this video from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, learn how Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are now the farthest any spacecraft has traveled from the Sun, and are still making discoveries in the
With the SpaceX Crew Dragon and Boeing Starliner spacecraft on track to launch to the International Space Station (ISS), it's worth taking a look at how spacecraft can dock themselves to the station. Because once you're at the ISS it's nice to go inside and enjoy the science! We'll look at RCS (Rea
Launched in September 2011, find out about the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission to measure the gravitational field of the Moon and study how the Moon developed over time. Animations illustrate technical aspects of the mission's design, including the launch, orbital insertion
