- An astronaut becomes stranded on Mars after his team assume him dead, and must rely on his ingenuity to find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive and can survive until a potential rescue.
- This program takes a stark look at the current efforts to locate and observe possible life-threatening collisions by comets and asteroids, as well as plans humankind may eventually employ for protection and survival.
- A featurette detailing NASA's plans for putting humans on Mars over the next twenty or thirty years, featuring interviews with several NASA staffers.
- A team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory tests the airbag landing system for the Mars Exploration Rover. Documentary.
- A film showing what a possible trip to Mars using a Rover might look like.
- 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.
- Carl Sagan looks at the planets Jupiter and Saturn by examining the work of Galileo, Huygens, and the Voyager probes.
- Two Voyager spacecraft leave Earth in the 70s to make the "Grand Tour" of the outer planets leading to discoveries that scientists are still interpreting today.
- Take a trip to Saturn, the planetary pin-up boy, and not only do you get a ringside seat to the greatest spectacle in the solar system, but a close encounter with two extraordinary moons. Tiny Enceladus is making all the headlines as the must-see moon these days. It's the little moon that has it all: enormous geysers of water and ice shooting into space from the south pole point to a warm salty ocean beneath the surface and, perhaps, a real possibility of life. Even more earth-like and yet far more alien is Titan, with a thick atmosphere and weather. Potentially an easier surface to explore even than Mars, this is the only other world we know that you could visit without a spacesuit. Rug up for the cold and fly a hot air balloon in Titanian skies, trek across vast dune fields, or row across a Titanian lake. Just don't fall in or get caught in the rain: it's liquid natural gas out here, not water, and it'll freeze you as hard as rock.
- 1974– 52mTV-G8.0 (68)TV EpisodeNova examines the physics of telescope design. Following the development of the telescope over several centuries the program explains the challenges that the major design innovations solved and the inevitable major discoveries they produced.
- New planets are now being discovered outside our solar system on a regular basis, and these strange new worlds are forcing scientists to rewrite the history of our own solar system. Far from a simple story of stable orbits, the creation of our solar system is a tale of hellfire, chaos and planetary pinball. It's a miracle our Earth is here at all.
- A look at the largest planet in the solar system as it was understood following the 1995 mission of the Galileo spacecraft and probe.
