High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a list of space probes that have flown by, impacted, or landed on the Moon for the purpose of lunar exploration, as well as probes launched toward the Moon that failed to reach their target. Confirmed future probes are included, but missions that are still at the concept stage, or which never progressed beyond the concept stage, are not.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1 and its sequels, several types of starships are introduced in the later seasons. In the series, they are the product of several years` worth of research into alien technologies discovered on off-world missions to other planets visited via the stargate. The stargate is an alien device discovered on Earth that allows near instantaneous travel to other planets via a controlled wormhole across a network of similar gates. The stargate was created by an extinct race called the Ancients, but are in use by aliens, some of which use both stargate and starship travel. Some of these alien races are hostile to Earth and bent on galaxy-wide domination,...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The designation Kosmos (Russian: Космос meaning Cosmos) is a generic name given to a large number of Soviet, and subsequently Russian, satellites, the first of which was launched in 1962. Satellites given Kosmos designations include military spacecraft, failed probes to the Moon and the planets, prototypes for manned spacecraft, and scientific spacecraft. This is a list of satellites with Kosmos designations between 501 and 750.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a list of launches performed by Ariane carrier rockets between 1990 and 1999. The Ariane 4 was in service throughout this period, and conducted most launches, with the Ariane 5 making its first four flights in the second half of the decade.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Parsevals were 22 airships built between 1909 and 1919 by the Luft-Fahrzeug-Gesellschaft (LFG) following the design of August von Parseval. In the 1920s and 1930s, three more airships were built following the Parseval-Naatz (PN) design.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Three locations in the United States of America were the sites of landings of the Space Transportation System (Space Shuttle). Each site included runways of sufficient length to provide adequate distance for the slowing-down of a returning space shuttle. The prime landing site was the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center, a landing strip constructed for the purpose of space shuttle landings. Landings also occurred at Edwards Air Force Base in California and one at White Sands Space Harbor in New Mexico. No space shuttle landed on a dry lakebed runway after 1991. International landing sites were available in the event of a Transoceanic Abort Landing (TAL) situation, and other...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Unmanned spaceflights to the International Space Station (ISS) are made primarily to deliver cargo, however several Russian modules have also docked to the outpost following unmanned launches. Resupply missions typically use the Russian Progress spacecraft, European Automated Transfer Vehicles, and Japanese Kounotori vehicles. The primary docking system for Progress spacecraft is the automated Kurs system, with the manual TORU system as a backup. ATVs also use Kurs, however they are not equipped with TORU. Progress and ATV can remain docked for up to six months. Kounotori spacecraft rendezvous with the station, before being grappled using Canadarm2, and berthed at the nadir port of the Harmony...
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a list of launches made by the R-7 Semyorka ICBM, and its derivatives between 1985 and 1989. All launches are orbital satellite launches, unless stated otherwise.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a comprehensive list of spaceflights between two or more bodies of the Solar System, listed in chronological order by launch date. It includes only flights that escaped Earth orbit and reached the vicinity of another planet, asteroid, or comet. Flights that were planned but not executed, were destroyed at or shortly after launch, or missed their target entirely are not included. Flights which reached, but failed to return useful scientific data regarding their target, are given a gray background.
