Fermi Spacecraft Animations 2025

A beauty pass of NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The spacecraft fills the frame with a starry background at 0:05 and is fully in frame with Earth partially in the background at 0:11.

Image description: A half-gold, half-silver satellite sits at center, with large, white, rectangular panels extending left and right like wings and a gold rectangular antenna extending downward at an angle. The top half of the satellite is a silvery rectangular box. The bottom half is gold and peppered with white and silver elements. The panels are peppered with a pattern of black rectangles.

Image description: A side view of a silvery satellite. In this view, its wing-like solar panels appear edge on, and the one in the foreground is barely visible as a thin rectangle. The top half of the satellite is a silvery rectangular box. A silvery square with protruding pins occupies most of the satellite's bottom half, but it is framed by gold with small white and silver structures that stick out. At the bottom, a gold-colored rectangular antenna extends downward at an angle.

Image description: A half-gold, half-silver satellite sits at center, with large, blue-black, rectangular panels extending left and right like wings. The panels have a grid pattern and the largest ones have four small holes. The top half of the satellite is a silvery rectangular box. The bottom half is gold and peppered with white and silver elements. A dark-colored rectangular antenna extends downward at an angle, and its central part contains a wide gray strip running top to bottom.

Image description: A half-gold, half-silver satellite sits at center, with large, blue-black, rectangular panels extending left and right like wings. The panels have a grid pattern and the largest ones have four small holes. The top half of the satellite is a silvery rectangular box. The bottom half is gold and peppered with white and silver elements. On the solar panel side of the gold box is a silvery rectangular plate with three protruding pins visible. A dark-colored rectangular antenna extends downward at an angle, and its central part contains a wide gray strip running top to bottom.
