Soyuz VS07 upper composite, comprising the Fregat upper stage, payload and fairing, was transferred from the S3B integration facility to the Soyuz launch pad (ZLS), hoisted into the mobile gantry where it was integrated atop Soyuz, on 31 March 2014.
Soyuz VS07 will lift off on 3 April 2014, from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. The rocket will carry Sentinel-1, the first in the family of Copernicus satellites.
This satellite will be used to monitor many aspects of our environment, from detecting and tracking oil spills and mapping sea ice to monitoring movement in land surfaces and mapping changes in the way land is used. It will also play a crucial role in providing timely information to help respond to natural disasters and assist humanitarian relief efforts.

Arriving on the coast of Madagascar, you’re greeted by the unbelievable tones of red…the Betsiboka river mouth, and its unbelievable (but true) veins of red flowing into the sea for dozens of kilometers… I took almost the exact same picture during Proxima and people have since explained to me that the red is an example of dramatic erosion – soil that is washing away from rainfall into the river and the Sea. The beautiful colours I see from space is actually a consequence of very concerning land loss. A focus of this year's World Environment Day is on erosion and how the #GenerationRestoration can get active to limit the effects and preserve our environment. www.worldenvironmentday.global
Un des plus beaux pays du monde sans aucun doute : Madagascar ! On est accueilli par l’embouchure de la Betsiboka, qui déploie de magnifiques veines rouges sur des dizaines de kilomètres. J’avais pris la même photo pendant ma première mission sans savoir d’où venait cette flamboyance. Les internautes m’avaient appris qu’elle était malheureusement causée par la très forte érosion causée par la déforestation massive. Sans les racines des arbres pour ancrer le sol, à chaque précipitation des vagues de sédiments se déversent dans le fleuve jusqu’à l’océan… Un phénomène dramatique que l’on retrouve sur toute la planète : des surfaces de forêts de la superficie de la Station spatiale disparaissent toutes les trois secondes ! La FAO fait un travail remarquable pour la restauration de ce type d’écosystème, leurs experts ont les arguments et les propositions pour renverser la tendance : www.worldenvironmentday.global/fr/propos/restauration-des... 💪 #GenerationRestoration #WorldEnvironmentDay

In recent years we sadly have been watching a significant loss of habitat in our neighbourhood as construction of commercial/industrial parks encroaches on some of the last substantial pieces of open fields left south of the highway. In winter you could typically see Snowy Owls and Northern Harriers making a living in these fields, but this past Winter I saw neither of these species as construction ate yet another chunk of the open spaces. In Spring & Summer this also serves as habitat for other birds such as Savannah Sparrows and various shorebirds. :-(
Boulders of banded gneiss, fallen from the canyon walls, line the sides of the creek at the bottom of the canyon in the Sabino Canyon National Recreation Area in Tucson, Arizona. It is believed that these boulders fell during a major earthquake centered in Northern Sonora, Mexico in the 19th century.
Dear Students we are going to see strategic management right one of your papers and theory in IPCC right now this strategic management is journey of business towards perfection and efficiency now the chapters we are going cover now are Business Environment, Business Policy and Strategic Management, Strategic Analysis, Strategic Planning, Formation of Functional Strategy, Strategy Implementation and Control, Reaching Strategic Edge so these are the seven chapters that cover in SM, now let’s see something about pattern of SM it’s for 50 marks as everyone is aware of. Section B covers this paper answer is separate yes booklet question number A that’s our first question in this subject, which is compulsory for 15 marks right and how it is 5 questions each 3 marks, answer any 5 questions from the rest 6 and 7 marks right and 5 questions gives you 35 so totally 50 Maximum 4 mark minimum 1 mark.

Royal Marines of 43 Commando train in various environment to test their skills in protecting the UK's nuclear deterrent.
Royal Marines have completed two weeks of rigorous training in the skills needed to protect the UK’s nuclear deterrent.
The marines of 43 Commando Fleet Protection Group are held at very high-readiness year round, guarding the nuclear deterrent carried onboard the Vanguard-class submarines based at Faslane Naval Base in Scotland.
These expert warriors must be highly-skilled in fighting in a range of close-quarter combat environments and two weeks of exercises at training areas around the UK ensured they are razor sharp for duties.
The commandos battled in a range of complex environments and challenging scenarios that ensure they are ready to safeguard the nuclear deterrent whatever the situation.
Major Steve Lewis RM, Officer Commanding R-Squadron, said: “Exercise Driven Defender provided R-Squadron, 43 Commando, an opportunity to conduct challenging role training in a variety of complex and novel training environments across the UK following the cancellation of the original US based version of this exercise.
“Through a mixture of agile planning and innovative training design R-Squadron delivered realistic, high-end training whilst remaining aligned with the fluid national COVID control situation. The training activity comprising dismounted, vehicle mounted, and Helicopter Assault operations extensively tested the participating highly skilled, specialist commando forces.”
Under the cover of darkness, troops fought through a multi-storey building in pitch blackness taking down any threats hindering their mission.
Using every trick in their book, together with rapid, relentless and overwhelming force, the marines successfully overcame all hurdles the ‘enemy’ had for them.
Following this, the commandos moved to a former bunker in the South West where they carried out training missions hundreds of metres underground in a network of intersecting passages and railway tunnels.
The commandos were told that a ‘high-value asset’ had been taken deep into the bunker and employing a range of their combat skills, were tasked with defeating their adversary and liberating the asset, combining technology and agile thought to produce success.
The Faslane-based marines followed this up with close-quarter battle training at Wakefield Armed Police College, moving to the target area as a Helicopter Assault Force via CH47 Chinook before clearing through buildings testing their method of entry abilities to provide operational assurance in built-up environments.
Not resting on their laurels, the commandos moved onto their next scenario which saw an enemy preparing to fly out high-value assets.
Observation posts were positioned and a recce was carried out on RAF Woodvale, on Merseyside, determining enemy movements and positions, calculating the best way of taking down the threat without risking the safety of the assets.
The following day at first light and again deploying as a Helicopter Assault Force via Puma helicopters, the commandos struck, taking the runway and securing the base before their adversary could leave with the stolen assets.
Quick Reaction Forces were tasked with clearing aircraft hangars and taking down well-protected enemy positions throughout the training area.
The exercise reached its conclusion with troops conducting close-quarters battle training, using simulated and live ammunition in Fort Blockhouse in Gosport.
This realistic and confined activity concluded an excellent and varied mission specific training package, ultimately assuring the security of the UK’s nuclear deterrent.
“This exercise has revalidated the high levels of knowledge, skills and ability required of each marine within R-Squadron allowing them to take their place with confidence delivering in support of the unit nuclear security mission,” added Maj Lewis.

I've been waiting to visit the Fly Geyser for well over a decade, and I finally got my chance! This beautiful feature is on private land and can only be visited by attending a nature walk hosted by Friends of Blackrock. Do Not Trespass! The poor decisions of others resulted in access being denied to everyone for many years.

Fly Geyser, also known as Fly Ranch Geyser is a small geothermal geyser located on private land in Washoe County, Nevada, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Gerlach. Fly Geyser is located near the edge of Fly Reservoir in the Hualapai Geothermal Flats and is approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) high by 12 feet (3.7 m) wide, counting the mound on which it sits.
In June 2016, the non-profit Burning Man Project purchased the 3,800 acres (1,500 ha) Fly Ranch, including the geyser, for $6.5 million. The Burning Man Project began offering limited public access to the property in May 2018. The geyser contains thermophilic algae, which flourish in moist, hot environments, resulting in multiple hues of green and red, coloring the rocks.
The geyser has multiple conic openings sitting on a mound: the cones are about 6 feet (1.8 m), and the entire mound is 25 to 30 feet (7.6 to 9.1 m) tall. The Fly Geyser is the result of man-made drilling in 1916, when water well drilling accidentally penetrated a geothermal source. The temperature of the water exiting the geyser can exceed 200 °F (93 °C).
