Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana is carrying out combined tests to prepare for the arrival of Ariane 6, Europe’s next generation heavy-lift launch vehicle.
The first Ariane 6 fairing has already arrived at the Spaceport from Europe. It is 20 m high and 5.4 m in diameter and is being integrated with a mockup payload to test equipment and procedures inside the assembly building.
Ruag Space in Emmen, Switzerland manufactures each entire large half-shell in one piece from carbon-fibre composite which is ‘cured’ in an industrial oven. This reduces cost and speeds up production. Fewer parts allow horizontal as well as vertical assembly of the closed fairing and the launch vehicle, which is particularly important for Ariane 6.
A blue metal scaffold on the right of the picture, called the ‘strongback’, encases the fairing. There is one for each half-shell to hold each steady and to maintain the shape of the fairing while it is being raised vertical, and during assembly.
The mockup payload stands on its payload adaptor – the black cone. This is the interface between the bottom of the payload and the rocket. The adapter cone is fixed to a permanent dock on the ground.
Before this combined test, the French space agency, CNES, updated the existing Ariane 5 assembly building with a new integration dock, composed of a large white frame, with two mobile platforms adjustable to any level and accessible by fixed stairs and platforms.
This assembly building has two halls: one for integration of the fairing on the Ariane 5 rocket, and an encapsulation hall where the payload is stowed in the fairing. This encapsulation hall is a spacious clean room for Ariane 6.
A new door 26 m high has been installed at the entrance of the building to make room for the integrated fairing, payload and adapter to move on its trailer to the Ariane 6 launch zone.
This activity is one of many extensive ‘combined tests’ which are being carried out in a team effort at the Spaceport by ESA, CNES, ArianeGroup, Avio and other industry partners. These tests will prove the systems and procedures that will prepare Europe's new Ariane 6 launch vehicle for flight.

I feel weak. Since I was shot. But it ain’t my first time. All the scars are there.
Sometimes I hated being invisible. Sometimes I don’t. The more magic you know, revelation comes after revelation, what’s the worse to come? I’m not a Brit, but I sure know how bad it is to be one in this time and age. The death of my partner still haunts me, since his blood transfusion that gave me powers.
Work has pushed back any form of strict ties—save for the friendships with the team, and I’m the one in charge of financial assets and insecurities, maybe because I’m the one man capable of handling it. Sure, he may be the least tolerant, but I’ve found myself growing to like Callan a lot. He’s changed ostensibly in small ways. We’ve spent lots of time together, more so partnering up in finding artifacts to being chased by demons…
Back to my line of duty, it’d be stupid thinking that equipment wouldn’t be worth pennies? It does, even with my ties on the black market, you’ve got to know the fine line. And there’s also the recent drama of the Vampire Queen, I might have spent up my savings for a shitty prosecutor. Fuck.
My body aches, but I have to put up a fight. There’s no room for rest, and I barely had any since the Vertex dudes shot me. Now, they’re a mixed bag of shit, the mutated ones, and the humans, who could do it again with altered weapons.
Florence: “Come at me, you bastard.”
Vertex Commander: “I’d like to end this with a duel of cutlasses.”
Florence: “Fine. You’re downright horrid anyways—I knew when to quit.”
Vertex Commander: “If you weren’t such a stuck up of a whore, I’d respect you better.”
Florence: “I fought tooth and nail, you wanker. But when you came after my sister, I threw everything away so that I could protect her”
Vertex Commander: “Bad timing, bad choices. You were never fit or qualified. Now that I’ve sealed the deals, you’re definitely going on death row. The system is the best for dealing with you peasants. No, you fucking rascals…”
The former captain retracts her shotgun at her back, and draws her brandished cutlass, engaging the commander, who also made one but it’s a dark emerald rapier . He’s quite bloodthirsty, I can see it in the eyes; a personal vendetta that is power.
And this is how the novelty of the fight change. So much going on. The old man in charge, rushing with antidotes, Rowena taking the damage like she would, Luc forming occult spells alongside Magnus. Thanks to Koles ‘connection’ to this so called Judge Creek…lord knows what kind of a breed is he. The image of his transformation at the courthouse still scares me
I really wanted a normal day for once. I fucking get it, slaughterhouse at court. Tried for accountability breaches. It just never ends. But complaining won’t ever get the job done. I would have to keep on trying.
In the heat of the moment, I still did anyways. I run to a safer corner as the street fights keep playing out. Right next to where Cal is, still battle hardened, alone while the rest engage in chases amongst destruction.
Terry: “Cal, I just want to confess”
Callan: “This is the worst time to ask me out…actually, if the world were less shitty--but right now, I don’t give a damn if I like you.”
Terry: “Have you been reading my mind or..”
Callan: “You wanna say it, just say it.”
Terry: “I’m outta fucking context, but I like you. I really do.”
Callan: “Since when?”
Terry: “Since the early missions. I know, I owe you a pint. You favour Johnny Walker. And when I hauled your ass a few times out of pubs, well, let’s say it was an attraction.”
Callan: “The feeling’s mutual. I was really concerned when you got shot. Look, I’m not that kinda playboy anymore. Shed that just for the sake of making weapons…I’m struggling with love too; despite the old shenanigans and how I’m with the ladies, I’m comfortable around you the most. If you’re serious, and dead set on it, we can—”
I lean forward to his Cal for a kiss. He doesn’t hold back, but pulls away quickly to shoot a mutated prowler. Cal says we’re gonna definitely gonna talk later. He seems to be lost in the moment, yet not distracted by my quick advancements.
Feels like I’ve gotten some weight off my chest. I swallow the bitter taste in my tongue, as I turn invisible once more, charging towards a horde of Vertex officers.
Then he appears.

Partners - Spring 2016
March 17, 2016
A bright and sunny March morning, the flowers and trees surrounding Walt and Mickey are looking beautiful. It’s rumored that Walt didn’t want a statue of himself at Disneyland, or any Disney park. I do hope he’d be ok with this now, if he had gotten the chance to see it. Disney Imagineer and animator Blaine Gibson designed it and I think we all agree he got it right. Certainly one of the most photographed locations at Disneyland. Who doesn’t get a picture standing here under Walt’s watchful gaze?
“I think most of all what I want is Disneyland to be a happy place...where parents and children can have fun, together.” - Walt Disney

There must be something magical about Disneyland. It was pouring rain before I entered the gates but once I stepped onto Main Street the rain stopped!

I've kind of wanted to have one of these buntings for ages but I wasn't sure about what I'd do with it (my decorating style is generally a bit more serious). Then it occurred to me at our BBQ last weekend that I'd like to have a really big one to hang for parties. Especially now with a little person around here. And it seems that my swap partner might like to have one. So I thought that now is the perfect time to make myself one as it amounts to testing the technique. That's often a fun bonus to doing this swap thing -- getting to try new stuff!
What do you think partner? Would you like a smaller version? In different colors, of course.

Following the accessible transport roadshow, Peg-leg-Pete has made a new friend in the form of 'Scott Wheels'. The new partners in crime are seen passing the bingo hall en route for a pint whilst less appealing transport for this pair, a step entrance Leyland Atlantean, passes by heading for town.
Strangely enough, this is the first shot in my stream that focuses on the Partners statue, I just haven't done very well capturing it in the past. Taken at 200mm f/2.8 and framed to avoid the giant refurb scrims on the other side of Main Street, see here for the exact same framing at f/11. Preference?
Sorry for lack of comments, once again. Life isn't giving me much photo time at the moment

On my way out to meetings all morning, but wanted to take a minute to upload a photo because it has been a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to catching up on everyones photos later tonight.
Have a great day.
This week is Partners week, where I'll feature different views and different styles of photos of the Partners Statue at Disneyland.

Not a image you haven't seen before but the view from room 36 into the Great Court is so beautiful I coudn't resist posting it. London_3363_BW_Sq
“Mars Global Surveyor's Mars Orbiter Camera obtained its last SPO-2 images of Mars on September 12, 1998. SPO-2, or "Science Phasing Orbit-2," took place between early June and mid-September 1998. Shown above are MOC wide angle (red and blue band) images of the martian north polar region obtained around 3:15 a.m. PDT on September 12, 1998. This color composite was made using red and blue wide angle MOC images 55001 and 55002--these were the last pictures taken of the planet until the camera resumes its work in late-March 1999.
The north polar layered deposits, a terrain believed composed of ice and dust deposited over millions of years, dominates this view. The swirled pattern in the images above are channels eroded into this deposit. The pattern is accentuated by the illumination and seasonal frost differences that arise on sun-facing slopes during the summer. The permanent portion of the north polar cap covers most of the region with a layer of ice of unknown thickness.
At the time this picture was obtained, the martian northern hemisphere was in the midst of the early Spring season. The margin of the seasonal carbon dioxide frost cap was at about 67° N, so the ground throughout this image is covered by frost. The frost appears pink rather than white; this may result from textural changes in the frost as it sublimes or because the frost is contaminated by a small amount of reddish martian dust. Please note that these pictures have not been "calibrated" and so the colors are not necessarily accurately portrayed.
In addition to the north polar cap, the pictures also show some clouds (bluish-white wisps). Some of the clouds on the right side of the images are long, linear features that cast similar long, dark shadows on the ground beneath them.
When the MOC resumes imaging of Mars in March 1999, summer will have arrived in the north polar regions and the area surrounding the permanent polar cap will appear much darker than it does here. The dark features surrounding the cap are sand dunes, and these are expected to darken over the next several months as seasonal ice sublimes and is removed from the surface.
Malin Space Science Systems and the California Institute of Technology built the MOC using spare hardware from the Mars Observer mission. MSSS operates the camera from its facilities in San Diego, CA. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Mars Surveyor Operations Project operates the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft with its industrial partner, Lockheed Martin Astronautics, from facilities in Pasadena, CA and Denver, CO.”

“MGS MOC view of the north polar region of Mars obtained on September 12, 1998. The swirled pattern at the top center of the picture is an area of polar layered deposits covered in part by the permanent north polar ice cap. This color composite does not represent the "true" color of Mars. To make the composite, MOC images 55001 (red-band) and 55002 (blue-band) were combined with a green-band synthesized by averaging the red and blue bands. The images have been reprojected to simulate the view that a person would have if the person was located about 1200 kilometers (740 miles) above the planet at 65°N, 275° W.”

3.875” x 8.5”. I’m not familiar with time period/range of the particular Kodak photographic paper used, so I’m assuming it’s contemporary to 1998.
