Air and Space

Cassini-Huygens provides a detailed account of Saturn.

In 1969, the London-to-Sydney Air Race brings together pilots from around the world for an air marathon between the two cities; star competitor Sheila Scott hopes to achieve glory by beating the record set by aviation legend Jean Batten.

Deciphering the secrets of inner planets Mercury and Venus.

The first visionaries who propose space travel are seen as dreamers, but rocket propulsion turns their fantastic proposals into a complicated reality.

The New Horizons probe has traveled to the end of our solar system to study Pluto.

Part 1/2. Flying at over 40,000 feet, beyond the reach of Allied fighters, the Ju86P aircraft provides Hitler with a steady stream of intelligence; in the summer of 1942, a plan emerges to send its bigger brother, the Ju86R, on a mission to Britain.

Teams vie to find any evidence that a hidden planet exists in the solar system.

Like any powerful technology, rockets are a double-edged sword: they will both take men to great new heights, and power some of the deadliest weapons ever created.

NASA has future plans to look at the sun and the deep oceans of icy moons.

Part 2/2. In September 1942, Luftwaffe bomber pilot Horst Goetz is on a mission to strike Britain from over 40,000 feet; one Royal Air Force officer -- flying in a modified Spitfire -- is Britain's hope against the attack.

Mars One aims to transport people to Mars by 2027; experts talk about the mission, investigate the risks and challenges and highlight the possibilities.

After the British discover that Nazis are experimenting with an advanced supersonic rocket-powered aircraft, they commission engineers to take up the same challenge.

When Mars One invited citizens to journey to Mars, 200,000 people applied; the final 100 include a military jet pilot, an ER doctor and an IT consultant — all willing to leave their loved ones forever; they share a common dream and a willingness to endure isolation.

During World War II, the fastest British jets can reach 500 miles per hour; with the sound barrier at 720 miles per hour, the British leap to create a supersonic jet is an unprecedented challenge.

The research, sacrifice and innovation behind the Apollo moon landing on July 22, 1969.

Just as the Vietnam War is ending, another begins next door; a Khmer Rouge attack on U.S. interests in Cambodia leave American soldiers trapped in harm's way.

Exploring a supermassive black hole in the heart of our own Milky Way Galaxy.

From carrying atomic bombs over the North Pole to flying over live volcanoes as Sean Connery's body double, explore the life of Ken Wallis; the inventor's passion for aviation keeps him airborne even into his nineties.
