PIX4643615: Rover Curiosity on Mars - Curiosity Mars rover selfie - Mars Science Laboratory (MSL), named Curiosity, is a NASA rover exploring the surface of Mars. This self-portrait is a composite of images taken by the robot on August 5, 2015. This low-angle self-portrait of Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover shows the vehicle at the site from which it reached down to drill into a rock target called “” Buckskin”” on lower Mount Sharp.

For scale, the rover's wheels are 20 inches (50 centimeters) in diameter and about 16 inches (40 centimeters) wide / Bridgeman Images
PIX4643176: Satellite Galileo - Artist view - Galileo Satellite - Artist view - Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellite artist view. The Galileo network of European satellites will consist of 30 satellites at approximately 24,000 km of altitude (27 operationals, 3 reserve). The working nucleus of Galileo, Europe's independent satellite navigation system, is already in place and active. The first satellites in space and a world - spanning ground segment have come together to perform the very first solely European navigation fixes, and validate the design of the Galileo system. To turn Galileo into something that everyone can use freely comes down to expanding its scale: for receivers to fix location a minimum of four satellites must be visible for anywhere on the planet, which means launching many more satellites and expanding Galileo's ground infrastructure. The complete Galileo constellation will consist of 30 satellites along three orbital planes in medium Earth orbit (including two spares per orbit). The result will be Europe's largest ever fleet of satellites, operating in the new environment of medium - Earth orbit / Bridgeman Images
