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.
This site on the Lower Salmon River is a frequent take-out spot for floating the Lower Salmon River from Riggins to Old Lucile via raft, kayak, jet boat or power boat. It is also a launch for other Lower Salmon River trips. The site is largely undeveloped but is near large, sandy beaches and easy access to the Salmon River. Day use area only. Other BLM recreation sites on this stretch of river are Island Bar, Lucile, Shorts Bar, Slate Creek, Skookumchuck, White Bird, Hammer Creek and Pine Bar. Be sure to check those sites for more information and amenities for boat ramps or camping. For river maps, authorized outfitters and shuttle services, see the links below.

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.

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.

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.

A United Launch Alliance Delta II rockets lifts off on it's 153rd mission since being introduced in 1989, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The workhorse lifted NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) Satellite into orbit to study the Earth's soil moisture every 2-3 days over the next three years.

We weren't able to find a radio station broadcasting the countdown, so we had no idea when exactly it was launching. Turns out it launched right at the start of the launch window. We had just parked, and managed to only miss the very beginning of it.
