Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich mission. Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E) - Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Modifications continue on the Mobile Launcher, or ML, at the Mobile Launcher Park Site at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Scaffolding, or work platforms, have been installed around the base of the tower on the ML to continue upgrades and modifications to the structure. The ML is being modified and strengthened to accommodate the weight, size and thrust at launch of NASA's Space Launch System, or SLS, and Orion spacecraft. The ML is one of the key elements of ground support equipment that is being upgraded by the Ground Systems Development and Operations Program at Kennedy. The ML will carry the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft to Launch Pad 39B for its first uncrewed mission, Exploration Mission-1, in 2018. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
From the official web site:
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is a basic research centre dedicated to exploring the world around us at its most fundamental level. It began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder of Research in Motion and the innovator who was instrumental in launching the smart phone revolution, found himself in a position to help foster research and innovation in Canada by establishing a world-class institute devoted to theoretical physics.
Research
Since research operations began in the fall of 2001, the Institute has grown to include over 80 resident researchers who are involved in day-to-day operations. Additionally, the vigorous Visitor Program has enabled PI to host hundreds of international researchers each year for collaborations and workshops. The current groups involved with cross-disciplinary research include Condensed Matter, Cosmology & Gravitation, Particle Physics, Quantum Foundations, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Information Theory, Superstring Theory and related areas.
Training
Among activities that help develop future generations of scientists, is the innovative Perimeter Scholars International. This research training program exposes rising talent from around the world to the full spectrum of theoretical physics, bringing them rapidly to the leading edge of current research.
Outreach
In addition to the scientific operations, Perimeter Institute also shares the importance of basic research and the power of theoretical physics with the wider community. The award winning educational outreach team provides specifically crafted programs and educational resources for youth, teachers and members of the general public across Canada and beyond.
Funding
Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit, charitable organization focused on scientific research, training and educational outreach in theoretical physics. The Institute is funded through an innovative public-private partnership - uniting governments, individuals, corporations, and foundations in a shared enterprise to help advance scientific breakthroughs, nurture scientific talent, and share scientific discovery with the broader public.
Workplace
Perimeter Institute endeavors to foster an inclusive culture that embraces and celebrates the diversity of our organization. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, harassment-free working environment for all students, scientists, support staff and volunteers, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion or place of origin. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, or violence in the workplace. Trust and mutual respect are the basis of our community.

The Future Heavy Super Sport rocket blasts off from Fort Carson Army Post, Colorado, at the annual Student Rocket Launch, sponsored by United Launch Alliance (ULA) and Ball Aerospace. ULA interns designed, built, refurbished and launched the 35-foot-tall high-power sport rocket under the guidance of mentors. The rocket carried more then 20 payloads built by interns at Ball Aerospace and kindergarten through 12th grade students from around the country. ULA and Ball interns and mentors volunteer their time to work on the program, which simulates a real-life launch campaign for the students. Photo credit: United Launch Alliance

RNLI Lifeboat Canadian Pacific being launched at Selsey during an open day, overhead is an RAF Search and Rescue helicopter which is taking part in the demonstration.
This postcard photo was taken after 1961 when Canadian Pacific had a major refit which included replacing her Ferry VE4 diesel engines with Parsons Barracuda Mk1's, removal of the funnel and adding a shelter on the cockpit, but before 1969 when she was moved from Selsey onto the reserve fleet, she is the second Selsey Lifeboat to bear the name, both were built and financed with donations from the Canadian Pacific Company to the RNLI, the first Canadian Pacific was destroyed by fire during a refit in 1937.

I'm so very excited to (finally) announce the launch of Luceo Images, a photo collective comprised of myself and my very favorite photojournalists: David Walter Banks, Matt Eich, Kevin German, Chip Litherland, Tim Lytvinenko and Matt Slaby. (Tim Lytvinenko designed the Luceo site, as well as my personal portfolio site)
Luceo Images is a collection of photographers creating a space for fresh visual narratives. Luceo offers documentary, portraiture, and commercial photography as well as new media production on an assignment basis. Our photographers attempt to push the bounds of traditional imagery both in our personal and assignment work. We are based around the US as well as Southeast Asia and Mexico.
A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into this since last December when Tim, Kevin, David, Matt Slaby and I met to discuss David's idea of joining forces. It was the first time I'd met some of these people, who I'd admired for quite some time.
I'm excited about what will happen next.
To keep updated, check out the Luceo blog.

The launch of our most recent project. This was a test flight of the avionics and recovery (aka: parachutes) sections of a rocket we are designing/building. While this one was powered by a commercial solid rocket motor (AMW M1900 BB), our actual vehicle will be powered by a hydrogen peroxide/HTPB hybrid rocket engine of our own design. This rocket is approximately 6 inches in diameter and 17 feet long (the actual hybrid will be in the area of 20 feet long).
We launched within one minute of our launch window closing and recovered the vehicle in excellent condition. Mission: Success.
Oh, check out how much dirt this rocket kicked up...it left a crater under it that was about a foot-and-a-half deep!

Day 159 of my 365 project for 2015.
BMW launched the E34 5-Series in 1987. The car marked a departure from the classic chrome bumper and upright glasshouse that had been characteristic of BMWs since 1968.
A year later the M5 version of the car was released, this time being more closely tied to the mainstream car. The engine displaced 3.5 L, nominally similar capacity to the largest inline-6 in the mainstream car, though the M5 used the S38 family engine, featuring DOHC and 24 valves. Output was 232 kW (311 bhp) and 360 Nm (266 lb.ft). The power was a significant step up from the mainstream car.
Performance was very quick for a period sedan, 0-96 km/h (0-60 mph) in 6.3 seconds.
A series II car was released in late 1991 with an increase in capacity to 3.8 L, the largest six that BMW had created. The power was increased to 250 kW (335 bhp).
The BMW E34 M5 has recently been added to the corporations heritage fleet.
The most recent BMW M5, the F90, uses a 4.4 L V8 with twin-turbocharging, producing 441 kW (590 bhp). To harness the extra power, the F90 M5 is the first model to uses all-wheel-drive.
