Command module for Apollo 18The Apollo command module is one of two principal components of Apollo spacecraft, used for the Apollo program, which landed astronauts on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The Command Module functioned as a mother ship, which carried a crew of three astronauts, whereas the Apollo Lunar Module brings the whole spacecraft to lunar orbit, and brought the astronauts back to Earth. |

Mercury Redstone 2 CapsuleThe flight of this Mercury-Redstone 2 tested the rocket, the capsule and the ability to work in space and return safely, in preparation for the first American astronaut's journey into space. Mercury-Redstone 2 carried a chimpanzee named Ham and helped to confirm that humans could safely make the trip. |
Heat Shield that protect the spacecraft during re-entry of Satellite in to earthTravelling at more than seven kilometres per second and generating temperatures of over 1,600 °C, a spacecraft hurtles towards the ground carrying people and equipment. Its body glows red hot from the heat generated by friction with the atmosphere. It should be melting, but thanks to its heat shields which protect the spacecraft from the intense heat |

Viking Lander which landed on MarsThe first spacecraft to successfully land on Mars, Viking 1 was part of a two-part mission to investigate the Red Planet and search for signs of life. |
Viking Lander which landed on MarsNASA's Viking Project found a place in history when it became the first U.S. mission to land a spacecraft safely on the surface of Mars. Two identical spacecraft, each consisting of a lander and an orbiter, were built. Each orbiter-lander pair flew together and entered Mars orbit; the landers then separated and descended to the planet's surface. |
