Fuji X-E2, 14mm f/2.8 ISO 800 135 stacked shots plus 2 dark frames.
Line crossing the frame is the International Space Station.
Also visible in the middle is the constellation Orion along with the Orion Nebula, the fuzzy pink dot in Orion's belt.
Here is a bit more of a teaser leading up to my SHIP, the Pathfinder 4 (if I can ever bring myself to finishing and shooting it by end of September... Having real trouble with the engine area, the rest I am OK with).
Anyway I had to take a break from the SHIP and built these: Two ancillary craft. The Resnik is a Lander, and the Hadfield is an Orbiter/Command Station.
All set in a near future, say 2047, and a future where NASA has decided to go back to its awesome worm logo.
Lauch re-entry suit used by famous South Australian Andy Thomas during his stay on the Russion space station Mir in 1998.
I was rather surprised to see it made from the humble material of canvas, but impressed with the zips and clips.

Expedition 35 Flight Engineers Chris Cassidy (pictured) and Tom Marshburn (out of frame) completed a spacewalk at 2:14 p.m. EDT May 11, 2013 to inspect and replace a pump controller box on the International Space Station’s far port truss (P6) leaking ammonia coolant. The two NASA astronauts began the 5-hour, 30-minute spacewalk at 8:44 a.m.
A leak of ammonia coolant from the area near or at the location of a Pump and Flow Control Subassembly was detected on Thursday, May 9, prompting engineers and flight controllers to begin plans to support the spacewalk. The device contains the mechanical systems that drive the cooling functions for the port truss.

After a year in orbit it was realized that the International Space Station had no real human use and it was donated to the S.P.C.A. for domestic animal missions. In this March 5th photo, Puffy the cat is seen high over the Bahamas on his 383rd day in space which is a feline record.
On each additional day he spends in orbit, Puffy will add to his record and to our understanding of the effects of long duration spaceflight on domestic pets. When we gaze up at the night sky we can thank these brave animals for their sacrifice.
One Canadian on Earth gazing skyward at another Canadian in space! Here I am looking skyward at the passage of the International Space Station, with Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques newly on board, having arrived with his fellow Expedition 58 crew members the day before on a Soyuz rocket.
The ISS here appears in a set of time exposures as a streak across the sky, with the streak broken as it went in and out of clouds and with gaps from the one second interval between exposures. That gap also adds the mottled or herringbone effect to the moving clouds. The stars (and Mars to the south) are all slightly trailed as well.
The timing of this passage early in the evening meant that the entire pass of the ISS was visible and illuminated by sunlight. The ISS was still in daylight. Any later and the ISS would have faded out at some point along its path as it entered Earth’s shadow and went into night.
This view is looking south but the ISS passed just north of overhead. West is to the right, so the ISS passed from right to left in this scene and is flying away at left.
This is a stack of twenty 10-second exposures at 1-second intervals, with the Sigma 8mm fish-eye lens at f/3.5 and Canon 6D Mark II at ISO 800, taken on a pass beginning at 5:35 p.m. MST on December 4, 2018. Stacked in Photoshop with Maximum stack mode, with a final shot with me in frame layered and masked in. Taken from home in southern Alberta.

I thought I'd make it extra hard on myself this evening and throw an International Airport into my Startrails and Spacestations. This is the ISS passing over Ottawa International at about 2130hrs. There was lots of traffic both coming and going. I put myself too close to some streetlights and my Tokina 16-28mm captured their glare beautifully (sarcasm). Babysteps. I'll have this thing nailed by the end of the week at this rate. The only problem is finding dark areas around Ottawa.
It might looks less ambitious than my previous one, but it was actually even harder to shot properly. I've gave up after more than an hundred shots xD. Hope you'll enjoy this shot, which I think is (almost) decent ;-)

The oddest ISS pass I have taken to date, 36,000ft over the english channel. It was a tricky shot to plan for with the recent sunset and blue sky, movement of the aircraft and also changes in time of appearance due to the altitude.
Some interesting movement from the ISS and Venus as the aircraft banks and turns.
Taken with the GoPro Hero 5, suckered to the window. I had to cover the window with my jacket to remove the internal light pollution inside the cabin.

In the 1955 film “Conquest of Space,” the massive Mars-bound spaceship is assembled and built in Earth orbit next to the wheel-shaped space station. Astronauts and personnel used the space station as an assembly base and operations hub before taking off on their interplanetary voyage. The movie was grounded in the cutting-edge science of its era and heavily adapted from the works of real-world aerospace pioneers like Willy Ley, Wernher von Braun, and Chesley Bonestell.
At the time, scientists calculated that escaping Earth's gravity required an enormous amount of fuel. They believed it was mathematically impossible for a single, unified rocket to launch from Earth, fly all the way to Mars, and land. The only logical solution back then was to use smaller "shuttle" rockets to ferry raw parts to a space station and build a massive, fragile, specialized ship in zero gravity that would never have to withstand an atmospheric launch.
However, for a trip to Mars, modern aerospace engineers favor launching a factory-built ship from Earth and simply refueling it in orbit, rather than assembling the physical hull piece-by-piece near a space station. Sending humans to weld in space is dangerous and expensive. Instead of building the ship in space, we launch a complete ship from Earth and use orbital tankers to refill its gas tank in orbit before it leaves for Mars.
It's Christmas time and our Space Cadets and their robot friends are having a blast playing around the tree and drinking hot chocolate (synthetic gear oil for the robots... they don't appreciate chocolate that much).

When I saw the ugly sweaters that came in the City advent calendar and the Christmas Tree I knew that I had to make a themed room for my Classic Space space station. Hope you guys enjoy it.
The Galactic Assault War Station 3 (GAWS-3) or referred to as the "Nebula Prime". It is an Ares class war station that is heavily armed and fitted to destroy any enemy ship. Commissioned by the USSDF (United States Space Defense Force) in 2237, its primary task is to defend the USSDF assets and provide Sub-Orbital support with ground operations.
