- Fred Z. Randall is a geeky spacecraft designer who gets the chance to make his dream come true and travel to Mars.
- Jet Propulsion, an alien from another planet, and his pals Sean, Mindy, and Sydney learn about science.
- Documentary looking at the work of the U.S. government department the Advanced Aerospace Threat Indentification Program, which investigates sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena.
- An in-depth British breakdown of how NASA never had the technology to overcome putting a man on on the moon or anywhere further than low orbit from the Apollo moon missions even today with the Space Shuttle designed to go nowhere but lower orbit
- How do researchers observe the physical forces at work on the Sun's surface? Can we recreate in the laboratory the nuclear fusion that takes place at its heart? What would be the impact of a major solar storm on the power grids of an interconnected world? With astrophysicists, nuclear energy researchers, historians of science, artists and hunters of the aurora borealis - a phenomenon caused by the entry of particles from the solar wind into the Earth's atmosphere - this documentary sets out to discover a star that has been a symbol of life since the dawn of humanity.
- Swimming in Neptune's moons, flying in Uranus' moons, jumping in Mars' moons, living in Jupiter's moons - welcome to the future of mankind, where you'll see the next worlds to discover.
- This large format film explores the last great wilderness on earth. It takes you to the coldest, driest, windiest continent, Antarctica. The film explores life in Antarctica, both for the animals that live there and the scientists that work there.
- NASA's biggest spacecraft plunges into Saturn in the final act of a 20 year mission showcasing the planet like never before.
- Thomas Pesquet spent 196 days in orbit around Earth. A daily routine filled with a multitude of scientific experiments intended to prepare for future missions farther afield. The French astronaut dreams of one day setting foot on Mars (2040 is the target), but innumerable scientific problems remain to be solved.
- Get ready for the trip of a lifetime. The adventure begins at Cape Canaveral in the final months of 1996. Then eight months later, on July 4, 1997, an alien object will streak through Mars' dark sky, glowing bright as its heat shield encounters the planet's thin atmosphere. Decelerating with a parachute and small retro-rockets, the spacecraft will slow, and then a new type of airbag will deploy. It'll touch down, bounce as high as a ten story building, and tumble over rocks and boulders. After this bumpy landing, the airbags deflate, 3 petals unfold, and Mars Pathfinder will awaken on the Red Planet
- A documentary about the making of the Apollo 13 film based on true events.
- HUNT FOR A SUPER COMET chronicles the journey of Comet ISON from the outer solar system to its perilous journey towards the sun, where it met a deadly fate, leaving behind decades worth of unprecedented science.
- A multi-camera live educational talk and variety special broadcast, carried live around the world via satellite, on NASA TV, and on the web. Program featured NASA astronauts showing various aspects of the science, technology, engineering and mathematics of space flight, space travel and space craft engineering, design and assembly. Program was designed to inspire children to become excited about science. Program also featured two musical performances by Daniel Curtis Lee and band.
- The COral Reef Airborne Laboratory (CORAL) mission will survey a portion of the world's coral reefs to assess the condition of these threatened ecosystems and understand their relation to the environment. CORAL will use advanced airborne instruments, including the Portable Remote Imaging Spectrometer (PRISM), and in-water measurements. The investigation will assess the reefs of Palau, the Mariana Islands, portions of Australia's Great Barrier Reef and Hawaii beginning in 2016. With new understanding of reef condition, the future of this global ecosystem can be predicted.
- The Planets examines the history of rocketry and the early exploration of the solar system.
- An expedition to Mount Vinson, in Antarctica, one of the highest peaks of the World, offers a real awareness of the increasing fragility of the best preserved places far from our daily life.
- Could the Red Planet hold the clues to the origin of life and even to the early history of our own world? Explore the possibilities as we embark on a fascinating voyage to Earth's haunting neighbor.
- UK police officers tell their stories here, notably Todmorden PC Alan Godfrey, who sensationally claims to have been abducted by a landed UFO. Hypnotic regression was used to obtain full details, and no explanation has ever been found.
- Earth's magnetosphere, which shields us from deadly solar radiation is decaying rapidly. When it collapses, as Mars's did billions of years ago, Earth will be stripped of its atmosphere, water and life. This episode explores new evidence that the Earth's magnetic poles are on the verge of reversing. As it does, Earth's magnetosphere will weaken greatly for thousands of years, allowing solar radiation to penetrate to the Earth's surface. This will threaten many species, including man, with extinction. In 2010 three satellites will be launched to detect minute variations in field strength and identify any new areas of pole reversal. For mankind to survive, we must develop technological methods of protecting ourselves before this happens.
- It sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster: a deadly asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. But in reality, it's only a matter of time before a giant space rock threatens to wipe out civilization. An asteroid took out the dinosaurs sixty-five million years ago. Are we next? This episode analyzes the threat and explores the many ways--from a nuclear bomb to ingenious new technology
- The Mayan calendar ends 22 December 2012. Will the world end as well - and how?
