Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) was a mission from 2001 to 2010 that made all-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background, the radiation left over from the recombination epoch, roughly 380,000 years after the Big Bang.

Resharing on the eve of The IPO: My short story "You Who Dwell in the Dust" which I wrote as an argument against the billionaire vision for Mars.

Head-on view of the Apollo Applications Micrometeorite Collector, an unflown concept to use surplus Apollo hardware after the moon landings. Each of the petals held seven sample collecting boxes.

NASA flew a similar mission in support of the Apollo program, called the Pegasus satellite. The micrometeorite collectors were built into a pair of wings that deployed from the top of a Saturn I second stage.

Apollo Applications Program Micrometeorite Collector, one of the many unflown concepts from the program. The petals would have folded around the central truss to fit inside the top of the S-IVB.

This set comes from a massive study undertaken by Convair to investigate the feasibility of large-scale erectable structures. There were dozens of designs, and they focused on clever ways of packing and deploying objects in space.
