“When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions” (9 p.m., Discovery Channel): It’s always kind of fitting when the U.S. space program is featured in a TV series. For millions of viewers, those early space missions played out as a thrilling TV series, with the real-life story line becoming more amazing and suspenseful with each flight. Looking back, it still is.

“When We Left Earth: The NASA Missions” is a three-part look back that marks a half-century of U.S. manned space flight. Giving the series a never-seen-before vividness, Discovery has transferred original mission footage to high definition, giving these archival records heightened power. It all begins, of course, with the pioneering Mercury program and its quest to put a man in space. Week two is devoted to the Gemini program, whose missions paired astronauts and introduced them to walking in space. Then a few giant leaps, and Neil Armstrong made his “one small step” onto the moon. That’s where the miniseries is headed for its third week. Then the shuttle mission, with the Challenger disaster. Even now, the sight of that explosion is a shocking reminder: This was all never just a TV show.

“Untamed & Uncut” (9 p.m., Animal Planet): This new weekly series features true tales from the wild, profiling humans and animals whose lives have been altered dramatically by encounters with animals. Stories range from attacks to light or humorous meetings. Highlights include an elephant charging her trainer; a black bear climbing a power pole; a deadly monocled cobra showing why it should be handled with care; a deep-sea diver hand-feeding a moray eel; and a pod of orca whales hunting a seal on an ice floe. Computer-generated imagery enhances the production.

“Design Star” (9 p.m., HGTV): Competitors whip up their best creations in a contest for their own HGTV series.

“Ice Road Truckers” (9 p.m., History Channel): There’s a chill in the air as “Ice Road Truckers” rumbles into its second season, This time, the big rigs are hauling heavy loads over the frozen Arctic Ocean. Is that the sound of cracking ice we hear?

“Army Wives” (10 p.m., Lifetime): It’s time to re-enlist for “Army Wives,” which launches its second season by resolving a scary cliff-hanger. Last time we saw the women, they were gathered in a bar and a man strapped with explosives walked in, threatening to go ka-boom.
