pseudo-cosplay photoshoot wearing science blues... don't bug me about accuracy, i know every inaccuracy involved in this shoot. twas just for fun.
Black Arrow was a British satellite carrier rocket. Developed during the 1960s, it was used for four launches between 1969 and 1971. Its final flight was the first and only successful orbital launch to be conducted by the United Kingdom, and placed the Prospero satellite into low Earth orbit.
Black Arrow originated from studies by the Royal Aircraft Establishment for carrier rockets based on the Black Knight rocket, with the project being authorised in 1964. It was initially developed by Saunders-Roe, and later Westland Aircraft as the result of a merger.
Black Arrow was a three-stage rocket, fuelled by RP-1 paraffin (kerosene) and high test peroxide, a concentrated form of hydrogen peroxide. It was retired after only four launches in favour of using American Scout rockets, which the Ministry of Defence calculated to be cheaper than maintaining the Black Arrow programme

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

A wonderful place for children to learn about science and technology through interactive exhibits and displays.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., -- Albuquerque District Commander Lt. Col. Antoinette Gant talks with two students at the Science Olympiad at the University of New Mexico (UNM) February 2, 2013. The Science Olympiad is a yearly event for the University. It brings together middle and high school students who are interested in pursuing opportunities and/or careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). Photo by Ronnie Schelby.

The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! summer camps every year throughout July and August. Designed especially for young people in Grades 4, 5, and 6. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers.
Images from a recent laser scan of the existing power station, part of the Powerhouse Science Center.
One of the primary purposes of laser scanning is to verify existing conditions on a job site. We have placed the point cloud files that were generated from the laser scan into the design model. The main focus; verify the dimension and placement of any existing conditions to remain are accurate.
With the click of a button we can compare the existing point cloud scan against the new design, and not just for the architectural design. The teal information in some of these images is the proposed mechanical design. In some locations the clearance to get this proposed ductwork in-between the existing beams and columns is less than a half inch.
Special thanks to Jordan Banning at California Surveying and Drafting Supply for donating his time and equipment for the laser scan.
