Soyuz spacecraft model. - a series of spacecraft designed for the Soviet space program by the Korolev Design Bureau (now Energia) in the 1960s that remains in service today, having made more than 140 flights. The Soyuz succeeded the Voskhod spacecraft and was originally built as part of the Soviet crewed lunar programs. The Soyuz spacecraft is launched on a Soyuz rocket, the most reliable launch vehicle in the world to date.

Space stations - also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station, is a spacecraft capable of supporting a human crew in orbit for an extended period of time. It lacks major propulsion or landing systems. Stations must have docking ports to allow other spacecraft to dock to transfer crew and supplies. The purpose of maintaining an orbital outpost varies depending on the program like scientific and military purposes.

International Space Station - as of 2020, one fully operational and permanently inhabited space station is in low Earth orbit: the International Space Station (ISS), which is used to study the effects of long-term space flight on the human body as well as to provide a location to conduct a greater number and longer length of scientific studies than is possible on other space vehicles.

NASA Skylab Space Station - the first United States space station, launched by NASA, occupied for about 24 weeks between May 1973 and February 1974. It was operated by three separate three-astronaut crews: Skylab 2, 3 and 4. Major operations included an orbital workshop, a solar observatory, Earth observation, and hundreds of experiments.
Unable to be re-boosted by the Space Shuttle, which was not ready until 1981, Skylab's orbit decayed and it disintegrated in the atmosphere on July 11, 1979, scattering debris across the Indian Ocean and Western Australia.

Soyuz spacecraft food - Saute de Veau Marengo Lyophilise, just add 10cl of hot water, rehydrate and reheat in only a minute and it's ready to squeeze it into the mouth. Skylab food significantly improved on its predecessors by prioritizing edibility over scientific needs. Food was also important, early Apollo crews complained about its quality and a NASA volunteer found it intolerable to live on the Apollo food for four days on Earth. Its taste and composition were unpleasant, in the form of cubes and squeeze tubes...

Ariane - a heavy-lift space launch vehicle rocket developed and operated by Arianespace for the European Space Agency (ESA) launched from the Centre Spatial Guyanais in French Guiana. It has been used to deliver payloads into geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) or low Earth orbit (LEO). The Ariane 5 first launch was in 1996 and completed more than 100 launches and a direct successor system, Ariane 6, is in development. Ariane 6 will cost about €70 million per flight or about half of the Ariane 5 current price...

The first stage of the Europa II rocket with Rolls-Royce RZ-2 engines intended for launch F-14.
The Europa rocket was an early expendable launch system of the European Launcher Development Organisation (ELDO), which was the precursor to the European Space Agency (ESA). It was developed with the aim to delivering space access technology, and more specifically to facilitate the deployment of European-wide telecommunication and meteorological satellites into orbit.

ERS-2 (COSPAR 1995-021A), was launched on 21 April 1995, on an Ariane 4, from ESA's Guiana Space Centre near Kourou, French Guiana. ERS-2 is ESA's second EO mission, (after ERS-1) and was launched in 1995. Both carry a comprehensive payload including a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and a radar altimeter for studying sea surface temperatures and winds; ERS-2 additionally carries a sensor for atmospheric ozone research. When they were launched, the two ERS satellites were the most sophisticated EO spacecraft ever developed and launched in Europe.
In March 2000, a computer and gyro control failure led to the end of ERS-1's mission. The ERS-2 mission has however continued to be a great success, lasting well beyond its original three year design lifetime and overcoming critical on-board problems. The ERS-2 has already surpassed more than 82 000 orbits at the end of 2010. The mission ended on 5 September with the 'passivation' and switch-off of ERS-2..

Ariane Vulcain 2 rocket boosters - an Ariane 5 space rocket uses two solid boosters (SRBs or EAPs) attached to the sides. Each weighing about 277 tonnes full and delivering a thrust of about 7,080 kN (1,590,000 lbf).
These rocket boosters are part of the Ariane 5's cryogenic main stage. One rocket consists of a large tank 30.5 metres high with two compartments, one for liquid oxygen and one for liquid hydrogen, and a Vulcain 2 engine at the base with a vacuum thrust of 1,390 kN (310,000 lbf). It weighs about 189 tonnes, including 175 tonnes of propellant. After the main cryogenic stage runs out of fuel, it re-enters the atmosphere for an ocean splashdown. At launch they each burn for 130 seconds before being dropped into the ocean without being reused.
