An examination of the sling shot technique and its uses for sending spacecraft across larger distances with gravity.
With continuous observation of Earth, scientists have built a data set that reveals much about how the planet breathes and how life sustains itself on it; exploring the data about the changing systems of the planet.
Exploring gravity, the all-encompassing forces keeping us on the ground and the planets in orbit.
Studying the interface between Earth and space, the Ionosphere, a region of rarified gas and charged particles; it is very important for radio communications, radar, satellite signals and global positioning.
One hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface lies an invisible frontier: the edge of space; this is the Karman Line the boundary between our planet's atmosphere and what lies beyond.
Launching payloads into space is a very difficult task and historically rocket launches are the proverbial 'swords into ploughshares' missiles.
Artificial satellites contribute to life on Earth through their use in communications, weather observation, global positioning and resource management.
As the latest successes and failures come and go, Mars continues to give up her secrets; invisible clouds are revealed with ultraviolet light.
Discussing the solar system, time and distance, and how the solar system extends far beyond this into interstellar space.
The question often rises is the cost of space exploration really worth it; could the money be better spent elsewhere; one space program would have to remain; the planetary defence program to locate identify and deflect a wayward asteroid.
For an instrument developed as recently as the 17th century, the telescope has travelled a long way; the latest version of the once humble telescope will be going a lot farther, carrying us ever closer to the first light.
Stars, like humans, vary in warmth, size and brightness; recent discoveries hint at over 200 billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way; an insight into Earth's past and future and what humanity knows of space.
In terms of the Universe, we know we don't know much, especially when it comes to dark matter and dark energy; scientists are devoting so much of their time to discovering as much as the possibly can about this mysterious matter.
The sky above is studded with stars and countless galaxies; in them, humans can read not only their origin, but also their final destination; technology is on the brink of taking the human race to places it has only dreamed of.
The moon is our closest celestial companion; it lights our night sky and gently tugs at our shores; few have walked on her surface, but her allure remains strong.
Mars is now under robotic scrutiny with our sights set on a manned mission soon.
Scientists and engineers manage to land a spacecraft on a comet; knowledge of these celestial marauders may drive industrial expansion into deep space.
In the cold, dark expanse of our solar system, beyond the asteroid belt, lie the giant planets; some can be seen with the naked eye, others have been visited by the camera; what secrets do they hold?
Moons of the gas giants, each is a unique and mysterious world of its own; some have oceans of water, geysers of Sulphur or atmospheres of plastic.
The Sun bathes our planet in warmth and light; it powers the machinery of nature, our weather and encourages and sustains life on land and at sea; scientists study it closely, and it can reveal the secrets of all other stars.
With technological advances and improved techniques scientists are discovering more and more worlds every day.
The night sky is a time machine; the further we look out into the universe the further back in time we reach.
