More than 800 students from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico launched nearly 50 high-powered, amateur rockets April 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Agency's annual rocket competition.

 

For the past nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.

 

Student Launch is one of NASA's eight Artemis Student Challenges - a series of activities providing students access to the Artemis program. Through Artemis, NASA will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, missions that will help pave the way for future missions to Mars.

 

The 2023 launch event and award ceremony are available to view on NASA's Marshall YouTube and Student Launch Facebook pages.

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.

The sparrow project is an attempt to improve my bird story telling along with honing eye hand/AF coordination skills using a common subject readily available. The subjects must be in motion as a prerequisite since shooting ducks in a barrel is just no sport at all.

 

I was spurred into the project due to my complete dissatisfaction of prior attempts while on a trip to Tanzania. Learning the delicate balance between shutter speed, proper long lens techniques, iso settings and AF modes is a challenge for something just slightly slower than a speeding bullet.

 

This will be ongoing to support my next African adventure later this year.

Seattle Erotic Art Festival Launch Party 2012

Whether you're looking for a luxury ride to dinner or a pro-level wake appetizer, the 2013 Launch 242 can take you there.

The new stay-cold 48-can Supra Boats branded soft-sided AO Cooler can be filled in the house and stored anywhere in the boat. Stainless steel cup holders accept drinks through out. When the ride is behind the 242 the 345 Surf engine from Indmar cranks out 370 lb-ft of torque, Flex ballast swells to 2200 pounds, the SmartPlate refines shape and the wakes Launch. Control the performance with the new VISION Touch dash and save these settings in as many as 16 unique rider profiles. The Supra Launch 242 is the ride of your life no matter where you're headed.

For funzies. Pull the trigger back, and... let it go!

 

The launcher fires the ball successfully: it will remain airborne for about 1 ft after launch.

 

The smaller the piece to be fired, the further it will go... And the results would be even better if I could incorporate more springs...

Not the first photo someones taken of the jetties at Keswick Launch in the Lake District, and certainly wont be the last, but we happened to be in Keswick around sunset, so seemed rude not to :-)

Pro riders gravitate towards this sleek 24-footer for the accommodating 17-person interior as much as the performance and wakes. There’s a lot to be said for a plush place to recover and professional riders like Amber Wing are on board with Supra’s style of comfort. Amber especially appreciated the comfort and the performance of her Supra this year while she trained for and won Queen of Wake and Best Women’s Rider. The wide seating gives you the ability to kick back and slide into the luxurious interior with full support. Double-up convertible rear-facing seats take the strain out of being a spectator. Of course when it’s “game on,” riders want to be behind the 242 where the Gravity III ballast system swells to an industry-leading 1700 pounds, the SmartPlate refines shape and the wakes Launch. Take the reigns on all of this performance with the VISION dash controlling speed, wake size, wake shape and tailoring those settings for specific riders. The Supra Launch 242 is the ride of your life inside and out.

Passing west off Greenock Foreshore

 

The warm weather and calm seas bring out all sorts of pleasure craft. Here we see the Fletcher 'Horizon Express' racing down the Clyde. From this angle you would think the second inflatable boat would be ripped from it's moorings on the stern. Accidents don't occur for private cruisers at sea!.

 

It always surprises me why a boat's company don't take their safety seriously by not wearing Life Preservers

This 22.5-foot wake boat welcomes as many as 13 with versatile seating, comfort and wake sport performance. The Launch 22V interior brings resilient multi-textured Syntec NANO Block vinyls together with the durability of exclusive Gore Tenara thread. Triple density foam construction makes the interior as cushy as it is beautiful. Supra has made the high-traffic path from the lounge to the swim step worry-free with a fiberglass seat step and transom walkacross. The wakes are multi-discipline and pro caliber. Control your curl and your ramps with cockpit switching or a Touch of the VISION. As fun to drive as it is to ride, the 22V slices through rough water with flat precise turns. High and slow speed maneuvers are almost as impressive as you will look pulling them off. Playpen or walk-through bow, the Launch and Sunsport 22V will fit your wake boating lifestyle.

Softline Pastel - a member of the Softline Group and a local leader in accounting, payroll and business software -- has launched Pastel My Business Online, its first online accounting system, which targets small to medium businesses (SMBs).

 

“Very often, products become complicated by the sheer volume of features added to it over time," says Softline Pastel managing director Steven Cohen, who explained that by developing Pastel My Business Online from scratch, the company had the opportunity to design the software specifically for business owners who were either starting out with very little bookkeeping knowledge, or who only wanted a basic system.

Sorry for the shaky video. My girlfriend and I were more interested in watching the launch than film/photographing it. :-)

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.
