I came across some "orbital sniper" illustrations on Deviantart a little while ago and thought it was such a crazy and impractical concept I had to build one! I can't imagine a person's head and shoulders would present a large target from orbit so maybe they'd be better off against tanks etc where the armour on the top surfaces is usually thinnest???

ESA’s new Sun exploring spacecraft Solar Orbiter launched atop the US Atlas V 411 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, at 04:03 GMT (05:03 CET) on 10 February 2020. An ESA-led mission with strong NASA participation, Solar Orbiter will look at some of the never-before-seen regions of the Sun, such as the poles, and attempt to shed more light on the origins of solar wind, which can knock out power grids on the ground and disrupt operations of satellites orbiting the Earth. The spacecraft will take advantage of the gravitational pull of Venus to adjust its orbit to obtain unprecedented views of the solar surface.

A digital art creation, consisting of five layers, at varying opacities. No photographic input.
Thanks for all views, comments and fave adds.
I feel like the entrance fee is rather to pay for getting underneath the Orbit rather than on the top of it

Like Satellites circling around a planet...Stamens of a withering Japanese Anemone.
Verblühende Anemone
St. Eusebius Church, Arnhem, The Netherlands.
These fabulous lights are called "Macchina della Luce" and are, of course, Italian, by Catellani & Smith.
The artwork visible in the center is called: Electric Dub Station (Orbital Ignition) by Antonio Jose Guzman and Iva Jankovic (2018).
I overdubbed the original image to make it look more orbital using GIMP.

This is Orbit.
It is wonderful.
It may not look wonderful, but then first impressions can be misleading and it’s what’s inside that counts. Or something. Not that he has much inside.
Anyway, this is a crazy rollercoaster-esque structure built within the Olympic park and offering a view over the surrounding area, including a little bit into the stadium itself. It’s meant to be a legacy build, which means now that the Olympics are over this should remain as a viewing platform/work of art for the foreseeable future. It’ll still cost £15 to get up it, I’m sure.

Da Bearz Orbital Network. It features 3 different classes of satellites:
(1) Communication (top satellite)
(2) Spy (lower right, nicknamed "Eye of Belichick")
(3) Hunter-Killer (lower left, nicknamed "Danimal")
All satellites are equipped with 4 pairs of maneuvering thrusters and some type of weapon system (see the individual satellite photos for more details.

Class 378 unit number 213 is caught crossing the River Lea in some evening sunshine passing the Arcelor Mittal Orbit and West Hams Stadium in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. She was working the 1829 Clapham to Stratford which travels across the North London Line which is very much different from the days when I last crossed it from Richmond to Broad Street on an old Class 501.
I took a lot of shots of the Orbit when we went to the Paralympics so I've had to resist the urge to upload them in bulk!
Tomorrow’s orbit today? This image shows how a large solar sail-equipped satellite could partly offset Earth’s and the Sun’s gravity with the slight but steady pressure of sunlight to hover above the Arctic or Antarctic, enabling continuous coverage of high-latitude regions for climate observation or regional communication services.
“Standard space missions employ conventional elliptical ‘Keplerian’ orbits,” comments Colin McInnes, Professor of Engineering Science at the UK’s University of Glasgow.
“However, our VisionSpace project has been investigating novel families of orbits and space systems across a broad range of sizes that could make use of additional factors such as solar radiation pressure, air drag or gravitational interactions.
“The space systems range from microscale applications such as satellite swarms and dust clouds, to mesoscale large deployable space webs and solar sails, all the way up to macroscale solutions such as asteroid capture
VisionSpace was a five-year project ending in 2014 to research space system engineering across the extremes of size, funded by the European Research Council.
Prof. McInnes, who oversaw the project while at the University of Strathclyde, was recently invited to ESA’s ESTEC technical centre by the Agency’s Advanced Concepts Team to highlight the project’s findings.
The ACT is tasked with peering beyond the horizon of current space projects. Further information on ESA's activities concerning Earth's polar regions can be found on the ESA Space for Earth website.

Space Science image of the week:
ESA’s Integral space observatory has been orbiting Earth for 15 years, observing the ever-changing, powerful and violent cosmos in gamma rays, X-rays and visible light. Studying stars exploding as supernovas, monster black holes and, more recently, even gamma-rays that were associated with gravitational waves, Integral continues to broaden our understanding of the high-energy Universe.
This image visualises the orbits of the spacecraft since its launch on 17 October 2002, until October of this year.
Integral travels in a highly eccentric orbit. Over time, the closest and furthest points have changed, as has the plane of the orbit. The orbit brought it to within 2756 km of Earth at its closest, on 25 October 2011, to 159 967 km at the furthest, two days later.
This kind of orbit provides long periods of uninterrupted observations with nearly constant background away from the radiation belts around Earth that would otherwise interfere with the satellite’s sensitive measurements.
In 2015, spacecraft operators conducted four thruster burns carefully designed to ensure that the satellite’s eventual entry into the atmosphere in 2029 will meet the Agency’s guidelines for minimising space debris. Making these disposal manoeuvres so early also minimises fuel usage, allowing ESA to exploit the satellite’s lifetime to the fullest.
The orbital changes introduced during these manoeuvres are seen in the wide-spaced orbits to the left of the image, highlighted in white in this annotated version of the image.

Upon entering orbit, the shuttle appears to be suspended above the earth when in actuality, it is traveling at speeds around 17,500 mph.
On the Manchester Ship Canal, the coaster 'CEG Orbit' passes Barton swingbridges, heading from Irwell Park to Drogheda. After unloading cement at Weaste the previous day, she had shifted to the Irwell Park wharf overnight to make room for 'Arklow Flair' on the cement berth at Weaste.
