As you all know and see my photographing skills are mwoa, so Legonardo Davidy offered me to do a new( and of course a better :D) shot of the fighter which I had sent to him through the STG round 5 " the Neophyters" . Needless to say that it looks way better then my pictures :) Enjoy it and a big shout out to Legonardo Davidy for doing this.
Again I am suprised by the people of the online Legocommunity, nothing seems to much to do for a fellow enthusiast :D, you all rock guys & dolls :)
Cheers Henry

The last of my micro-scale ships: for the moment at least!
On the left is a relay beacon. These ships were a common sight on the western belt of the galaxy, where navigation infrastructure was less developed.
On the right is a mega-tanker, used for bulk shipping of fuels across the galactic disc.
Recently found photograph.
Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space.
His spacecraft was called Vostok.
Until today Soviets have kept this part of his journey in secret.
It's impossible to know which nationality the Space Ape was, so
of course it was best to be silent about this.
NOW IT*S TIME FOR WORLD TO KNOW!
This striking view of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and turbulent southern hemisphere was captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it performed a close pass of the gas giant planet. Juno took the three images used to produce this color-enhanced view on Feb. 12, 2019, between 9:59 a.m. PST (12:59 p.m. EST) and 10:39 a.m. PST (1:39 p.m. EST), as the spacecraft performed its 17th science pass of Jupiter. At the time the images were taken, the spacecraft was between 16,700 miles (26,900 kilometers) and 59,300 miles (95,400 kilometers) above Jupiter's cloud tops, above a southern latitude spanning from about 40 to 74 degrees.

Hello,
Name: Attila
Lenght: 254studs (2meters with the antena)
Bio: bla bla bla, blabla . Bla bla bla bla.....bla? ...bla blablabla blabla bla bla, bla bla bla bla bla bla (x 1 2)
So this is my ship for shiptember.
What can I say ? .....it's a freestyle build , with a technic bricks structure , no bricklink order , built with my stock (as usual)
I did not planed on building a big ship like this.
I've built the front part and had problem of weight balance , so I've made the rear part much longer( and use some train weight parts)
Other thing is that this ship can be dissambled in 2 parts so that it will be "easier" to transport for my convention at Dole (21/22 october in France)
;-)
The Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft undocks from the International Space Station on June 11, 2015. NASA astronaut Terry Virts, European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov landed in Kazakhstan a few hours later after more than six months in space.

“Docking in Space--Artist’s concept of rendezvous of the Gemini spacecraft and the Agena vehicle. They latch together as a result of visual observation by the Gemini astronauts.”
11” x 13.875”.
The above is the ‘verbatim’ caption from the official 1964 reissue (I presume) of the original 1962 (I presume) photograph. Alrighty then, clear as mud.
Yet again, I set myself up for disappointment. I was sure I’d readily find this at multiple “space” sites, miraculously, maybe even at a NASA website. Using logical keywords like ‘Gemini’, ‘Agena’, ‘concept’, in varying combinations – nothing. I even rotated the image, both clockwise & counter-clockwise – nothing.
I know for a fact that I’ve seen this multiple - many actually - times over the course of my life. I consider(ed)? It to be (yes, in MY world) an iconic Gemini/Gemini-Agena artist’s concept. Maybe it was primarily as part of/within documents, manuals, presentations, etc. Who knows.
However, John Sisson’s wonderful “Dreams of Space – Books and Ephemera” website did have the image:

And BOTH correctly oriented!
More/most importantly, through a minor miracle, the ‘framing’ of the image includes/retains the signature of the artist – Mr. Arnold Pierce. IMHO, a spectacular WIN. Which, by extrapolation, enabled attribution of at least one other work, linked below.

Built for the Brikwars Hundred-Piece Hullabaloo contest.
The Space Repair Garage manufactures a custom, one-man utility spacecraft that can perform several roles, including light tugboat work, installation and salvage, and more, if equipped with the appropriate tools.
I built this lively yellow and red speeder to accompany an article I wrote for New Elementary regarding a series of LEGO cars released in cereal boxes in 2009. Can you spot the 4 car parts used in this model?
I built the model in early 2020, so it’s slightly dated, but I’m still fairly happy with the design. If you want to read more about this model, check out my New Elementary article! www.newelementary.com/2021/11/paulville-mocs-general-food...
Further insight into my design process for this model, including exclusive work in progress photos, is available to subscribers on New Elementary’s Patreon page!
This thing has been the a huge pain in my backside the past couple weeks.
Thanks to everyone for the input in the WIP shots.
I am pretty pleased with it, aside from the stabilizing fin at the bottom, but it just will not stand up otherwise, and I have not been able to come up with any landing gear that seems to make sense, so suggestions are welcome.
This spacecraft was a SHIP of 102 studs length (not including the front data probe). It was operated by the Lightning Shipping Line and featured their logo on its side. This logo was inspired by the livery of transport aircraft of the 20th century Royal Air Force.
The ship's distinctive black & yellow chequering was to warn others of its hazardous cargo. It was also to let space pirates know that the ship wasn't worth attacking, as the cargo was impossible to steal without another tanker to transfer the gas into. Unfortunately, hydrogen barge pilots were very highly paid, owing to their dangerous job. This meant that they often had incredibly expensive, epicurean pack lunches aboard. Pirates would often raid these ships, just for the pilot's sandwiches.
NASA's Lucy spacecraft captured this image of the Moon on Oct. 16, 2022, from a distance of 150,000 miles (240,000 km). This view of the last quarter Moon is familiar to observers from Earth as the spacecraft took this image while it was in between the Earth and the Moon during its first Earth gravity assist.
The image was taken with Lucy’s Terminal Tracking Camera (T2CAM) system, a pair of identical cameras that are responsible for tracking the asteroids during Lucy’s high-speed encounters. The T2CAM system was designed, built, and tested by Malin Space Science Systems; Lockheed Martin Integrated the T2CAMs onto the Lucy spacecraft and operates them.

NASA’s Lucy spacecraft captured this image (which has been cropped) of the Earth on Oct 15, 2022, as a part of an instrument calibration sequence at a distance of 380,000 miles (620,000 km). The upper left of the image includes a view of Hadar, Ethiopia, home to the 3.2 million-year-old human ancestor fossil for which the spacecraft was named.
Lucy is the first mission to explore the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, an ancient population of asteroid “fossils” that orbit around the Sun at the same distance as Jupiter. To reach these distant asteroids, the Lucy spacecraft’s trajectory includes three Earth gravity assists to boost it on its journey to these enigmatic asteroids.

Saturn’s rings display their subtle colors in this view captured on Aug. 22, 2009, by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. The particles that make up the rings range in size from smaller than a grain of sand to as large as mountains, and are mostly made of water ice. The exact nature of the material responsible for bestowing color on the rings remains a matter of intense debate among scientists.
Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. Cassini's narrow-angle camera took the images at a distance of approximately 1.27 million miles (2.05 million kilometers) from the center of the rings.
The Cassini spacecraft ended its mission on Sept. 15, 2017.

Warm-up build for the impending SHIPtember. Not sure if I'll be able to find time for the event proper, but still nice to grind some rust off the gears.
NASA’s Orion spacecraft, powered by ESA’s European Service Module, shares a stunning new take on ‘Earth rise’ following the return powered flyby of the Moon.
This image was taken on 5 December, flight day 20, after the spacecraft completed a 3 minute 27 second burn to swing around the Moon and back to Earth.
Just before the burn, Orion made its second and final close approach to the Moon at 17:43 CET (16:43 GMT), passing 130 km above the lunar surface.
The burn, which used the European Service Module’s main engine, changed the velocity of the spacecraft by about 1054 km/h. It was the final major engine burn of the Artemis I mission.
Orion is due to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on 11 December to complete the 25-day Artemis I mission.
“Orion is heading home!” said NASA administrator Bill Nelson. “The lunar flyby enabled the spacecraft to harness the Moon’s gravity and slingshot it back toward Earth for splashdown. Next up, reentry!”
Sadly, but necessarily, the European Service Module’s contribution to Artemis ends 40 minutes before splashdown. Together with the Crew Module Adapter these elements of the Orion spacecraft will detach from the Crew Module and burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere, leaving Orion on its own for the last crucial minutes to splashdown.

The core of NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft has taken center stage in the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. Standing 10 feet (3 meters) high and 5 feet (1.5 meters) wide, the craft’s main body will for the next two years be the focus of attention in the facility’s ultra-hygienic High Bay 1 as engineers and technicians assemble the spacecraft for its launch to Jupiter’s moon Europa in October 2024.
Scientists believe the ice-enveloped moon harbors a vast internal ocean that may have conditions suitable for supporting life. During nearly 50 flybys of Europa, the spacecraft’s suite of science instruments will gather data on the moon’s atmosphere, surface, and interior – information that scientists will use to gauge the depth and salinity of the ocean, the thickness of the ice crust, and potential plumes that may be venting subsurface water into space.
Managed by Caltech in Pasadena, California, JPL leads the development of the Europa Clipper mission in partnership with APL for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. APL designed the main spacecraft body in collaboration with JPL and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The Planetary Missions Program Office at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, executes program management of the Europa Clipper mission.

This ship is yet another MOC that started off life as a rather interesting table scrap. The rear thruster is a little Technic doohickey I was experimenting with for some time. Naturally, it was either going to be part of a robot or a spaceship. I went with ship this time. Although, it would look pretty cool on a robot...
Maybe after SHIPtember.

The T-22 Saberdart
A lightweight starfighter.
Built because I wanted to try out this windscreen. It's a challenge to work with, but the shape is just to gorgeous.

It may not look like it, but this giant dish in Australia spends its time in in-depth conversation with a number of European deep space missions.
The 35-m antenna is part of ESA’s New Norcia ground station, located 140 kilometres north of Perth. The impressive structure is one of three such stations in the Agency’s ESTRACK network, designed for communicating with spacecraft exploring the far reaches of the Solar System.
Deep Space Antenna-1 (DSA 1) routinely provides support to Mars Express and Exomars TGO, currently orbiting the Red Planet; the Gaia space observatory, in the process of making the world's most precise map of the stars in our Milky Way galaxy; BepiColombo on its way to Mercury; and Cluster II, studying Earth's magnetic environment.
Preparations are also underway for critical 2020 events, including a crucial BepiColombo flyby and the launch of Exomars RSP and Solar Orbiter.
Discoveries by these spacecraft and others would not be possible without ESA ground stations collecting their data, making it available to researchers across the globe and ensuring we can command and communicate with the explorers from our Operations Centre on Earth.

ESA’s Asteroid Impact Mission, being studied for a 2022 arrival at the Didymos double asteroid, involves not just one but four spacecraft.
The main spacecraft (seen here towards bottom left) would carry a small lander (seen here in dark on the asteroid) to touch down on the 180 m-diameter secondary asteroid, or ‘Didymoon’. It would also release at least two CubeSats (seen at the top left and towards the right of the image).
These multiple spacecraft would allow AIM to test deep-space intersatellite relays, while the lander would gather experience in low-gravity proximity operations.
Then, in 2022, NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) would arrive and slam at high speed into Didymoon, with the quartet providing multiple viewpoints of this unique event and its aftermath.
AIM and DART would together form an international mission called Asteroid Impact & Deflection Assessment, or AIDA.

The Orion spacecraft with European Service Module (left), Earth (middle) and the Moon (right) are captured in this ‘family portrait’ by Orion’s solar array camera during the spacecraft’s closet approach to the lunar surface.
Six days into the 25-day Artemis I mission, the Orion spacecraft performed a key manoeuvre: just a little more than 130 km from the lunar surface, the main engine on the European Service Module – a repurposed Space Shuttle engine that is now on its 20th spaceflight – fired for just under 150 seconds to push the spacecraft and head towards a lunar orbit using the Moon’s gravity to reduce fuel consumption.
The manoeuvre, known as the Outbound Powered Flyby, was another success for the Artemis I mission, whose goal is to test the mission profile, the spacecraft, and the people operating it in preparation for flights with astronauts on future missions.
The European Service Module is powering Orion around the Moon and back, providing propulsion, temperature control, electricity as well as storage and delivery for essential supplies such as fuel, water and air.
Mission control for Orion is at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, USA, where European engineers are on hand at all times to offer in-depth expertise on the finer details of the service module. The mission evaluation room based at ESA’s technical heart in The Netherlands also has personnel round the clock in direct communication with their US and European colleagues in mission control in Houston.
“Operationally the spacecraft is performing perfectly and the international collaboration with this new spacecraft with new flight rules is great to see,” says ESA’s Programme Manager for the European Service Modules, Philippe Deloo, “The teams across both sides of the Atlantic are showing exemplary skills, knowledge and teamwork leading humankind forward to the Moon.”
Stunning new imagery of Earth from a human-rated spacecraft such as this image is also important to the mission, bringing the wonder of space exploration to the public some 50 years after the last Apollo mission.
This photo was taken by a Go-Pro fastened to the end of one of four 7 m-long solar array, and connects to the spacecraft over a wireless network. The solar arrays provide enough electricity to power two households on Earth.

Engineers successfully tested the parachutes for NASA's Orion spacecraft at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona Wednesday, March 8. This was the second test in a series of eight that will certify Orion's parachutes for human spaceflight.
The test, which dropped an Orion engineering model from a C-17 aircraft at 25,000 feet, simulated the descent astronauts might experience if they have to abort a mission after liftoff.
Orion, which will launch atop NASA's Space Launch System rocket from the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is built to take astronauts farther into the solar system than ever before. The spacecraft will carry crew to space, provide emergency abort capabilities, sustain the crew during their mission and provide safe re-entry through Earth's atmosphere.

" So then we have a deal then Mercenary ? Sure, we have a deal as long as it doesn't involve those two watchdogs behind your back miss .....? No, need for names Mercenary, just do as you where hired for ...."
In the year 2552 it is most common to go shopping for mercenaries, adventures and other scum to do the dirty work, most people(read people with money) go for this rather unusual type of groceries to the Great Zyphiaran Trade Market on the planet Zyphia.The ship you see here is owned by former Captain Kane Archten of the sixth squadron of Zyphia, Captain Archten was "thanked" after the long war for his services, and ever since he performs all kinds of unsavory jobs to survive, but as always with char that can not bear the light there are competitors on the horizon.......

Interplanetary Cruiser
A “big” Lego space cruiser I have built this week. You might notice that the shape is quite unusual:
==> The main structure is obtained with bent 32x16 blue base plates as you can see in the picture if you zoom in on the front or the rear part of the spaceship.
In addition to an original shape this technique provides a very robust design. Something you really appreciate during the building and when you have to manipulate/move the model.
