Expedition 35, March 26, 2013
This image is one of a series of still photos documenting the process to release the SpaceX Dragon-2 spacecraft from the International Space Station on March 26. The spacecraft, filled with experiments and old supplies, can be seen in the grasp of the Space Station Remote Manipulator System's robot arm or CanadArm2 after it was undocked from the orbital outpost. The Dragon was scheduled to make a landing in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of California, later in the day.

LIFT-OFF!
STS-7, June 18, 1983
The space shuttle Challenger, its two solid rocket boosters and an external fuel tank carry the five-member STS-7 astronaut crew toward a six-day mission in Earth orbit. This high-angle view of the liftoff, a lengthy stretch of Florida Atlantic coastline and a number of large cumulus clouds was photographed with a handheld 70mm camera by astronaut John W. Young. Young usually pilots the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA) for weather monitoring at l...

STS-119, March 25, 2009
Backdropped by the blackness of space and Earth's horizon, Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-119) is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 18 crew member on the International Space Station soon after the shuttle and station began their post-undocking relative separation on March 25, 2009.

The
Gemini 3 Fliteline Medallion, flown on the mission. It's one of the few
places the term "Molly Brown" is seen on anything on the mission, as, I
believe, NASA never officially recognized that name.
1963,
Portrait of the first two groups of astronauts. The seven original
Mercury astronauts plus new members of the astronaut corps. Seated from
left to right are: Gordon Cooper, Gus Grissom, Scott Carpenter, Wally

STS-90, March 23, 1998
The Space Shuttle Columbia begins its rollout from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B in preparation for the STS-90 mission. The Neurolab experiments are the primary payload on this nearly 17-day space flight. Investigations during the Neurolab mission will focus on the effects of microgravity on the nervous system. Specifically, experiments will study the adaptation of the vestibular system, the central nervous system, and the pathways tha...
