Europe’s largest beach-launched fishing fleet is to be seen at Hastings in East Sussex. The boats are designed to be launched from the beach by bulldozers and recovered by a winch and cable system developed over many decades.
UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner launches the UNEP Live platform at the Group on Earth Observations summit in Geneva.
From January 13 to 17, 2014 Geneva’s CICG center will be the site of a major international conference and exhibit aimed at improving access to critical information on the global environment. The GEO-X Plenary and Geneva Ministerial Summit brings together experts from 90 governments and nearly 70 organizations and will include an exhibit of cutting edge technology and more than 30 forums and panel discussions, many open to the general public. Topics will include Agriculture and Food Security, Measuring Biodiversity, Disaster Risk Reduction, Cholera Early Warning, Ocean Acidification, UNEP Live!, and Water Security. The summit will be presided over by GEO’s four co-chairs: China, the European Commission, South Africa and the United States. The United States will be represented at GEO-X by a high level multiagency delegation.
For nearly a decade, the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) has been driving the interoperability of thousands of individual space-based, airborne and in situ Earth observations around the world. Often these separate systems yield just snapshot assessments, leading to critical gaps in scientific understanding. GEO is addressing such gaps by providing easy, open access to organized observations that enable an increasingly integrated view of our changing Earth. Summit participants will look at how the international community can increase the sustainability and quality of observation networks and make the maximum possible volume of data freely accessible. For sound science to shape sound policy, leaders and other decision-makers require this fuller picture as an indispensable foundation of environmental decision-making.

Cork Cancer Research Centre would like to extend their thanks to everyone who attended the event and to the Boogie Band for all their hard work in producing the CD.
Editor’s Notes:
About Cork Cancer Research Centre (CCRC)
The Cork Cancer Research Centre is an independent research centre focused on developing new treatments for secondary cancer. Key to centre’s success is the clear collaboration between surgeons and physicians in practice with speciality cancer researchers to apply their findings in practice. Its purpose is to provide discovery and innovations that may be applied to the prevention of the cancer in the first place or to the development of more effective treatment strategies. Our main focus is to find new treatments for patients who do not respond to conventional chemotherapy. In terms of our research activities, the Centre has brought five cancer treatments from the laboratory to clinical trial. More information about their work is available on www.ccrc.ie. Although we are living in challenging economic times, research must progress if we are to continue advancing new cancer treatments and positively impacting patient lives.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon capsule lift off from launch complex 40 on a supply mission to the International Space Station. The history making launch is the first of its kind for a commercial rocket traveling to the International Space Station.
Here is a Royal Australian Air Force Boeing/McDonnel Douglas F/A-18F Super Hornet (A44-202) launching skywards into the sky with the clouds surrounding it.

ARM Southern Great Plains staff assist participants in the 2015 - 2016 Full-Column Greenhouse Gas Sampling (FCGGS) field campaign in launching a balloon with the AirCore sampling system. Measurements from these balloons will provide key constraints for remote sensing measurements obtained from ground- and space-based instrument platforms and will be used to quantify vertical atmospheric profiles up to 30 kilometers.

We woke up at 5am two mornings in a row to watch the hot air balloons launch into the sky. The first day was a bust, I think the winds were too high and the launch was cancelled. Luckily, the second day the hot air balloons were given the green light to set sail. It was great being able to walk up close to all the hot air balloons as they were being set up...sometimes I got close enough to feel the blast of the flame giving the hot air to the balloons.
Launch-Entry Suit
Space Shuttle
The Launch-Entry Suit was a partial-pressure suit worn by Space Shuttle astronauts to protect against loss of cabin pressure during ascent and descent. Introduced after the 1986 Challenger accident, it was used until the late 1990s, when the full pressure Advanced Crew Escape Suit was phased out.
Informally called the "pumpkin suit" for its bright color, it pressurized at 3.2 pounds per square inch, and the inflated internal bladder exerted mechanical pressure on the crewmember's body. The helmet visor and neck dam were pressure seals, but the gloves were not; they connected to the suit by a tube and needle valve. The Launch-Entry Suit included an integrated "g-suit" to prevent blood from pooling in the lower body during reentry. The vest-like harness worn over the suit contained a parachute, breathing air tank, and survival gear for an emergency bail-out.
This suit was never worn in space. The gloves, boots and harness were worn in training or flight. All launch-entry helmets are still in use in NASA's inventory of flight gear.
