These now dormant rails were once used to launch boats into the resevoir. Today they serve as a nice lead into the picture.
One of the challenges when building Airwolf was the ventral missile launcher. I wanted to have it properly retractable and covered by a sliding door. Instead of my normal photo-series, I shot a quick video to demonstrate the functionality.
Test launch of the Lunar variant of the R-7 rocket. Obviously inspired by Shannon's "Battle for the Moon" theme.
This boat launch is part of the Ram Light, located off the Ocean Point shoreline at Grimes Cove. Near Boothbay Harbor. It was built in 1883. Prior to its existence, the perilous rocks of Ram Island were marked by lanterns tended by local mariners.
They were crude and many times could not be seen beyond 100 feet. Now the light is visible for 13 miles.
Ram Light can be seen from a distance at Grimes Cove or closer by boat.
Early morning launch for the Phoenix Mars Lander.

The Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft was launched from Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 23 November 2014 with ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti and her crewmates to the weightless research centre where they will live and work for five months.
With Samantha are Russian Soyuz commander Anton Shkaplerov and NASA astronaut Terry Virts. All three are part of the Station’s Expedition 42/43 crew.
On this mission, Samantha is flying as an ESA astronaut for Italy’s ASI space agency under a special agreement between ASI and NASA.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company's Crew Dragon spacecraft onboard is seen as it is rolled out of the horizontal integration facility at Launch Complex 39A as preparations continue for the Demo-1 mission, Feb. 28, 2019 at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Demo-1 mission will be the first launch of a commercially built and operated American spacecraft and space system designed for humans as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The mission, currently targeted for a 2:49am launch on March 2, will serve as an end-to-end test of the system's capabilities Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)
This rocket was launched from Ny Ã…lesund, Svalbard in early December to study the upper atmosphere. I was present as part of the team and took the opportunity to try a rocket launch shot on large format film. This was done on my Tachihara with Fuji Provia 100F film. The exposure was started about two hours before launch at f/8 to expose the sky, star trails, and distant landscape. About 30 seconds before launch I stopped the lens down to f/16 to expose the foreground lit by the rocket like a giant flash. I'm fairly proud of getting this on large format film since there's no way to meter or do any kind of test exposure.
Camera: Tachihara 4x5 field
Lens: Caltar-S 135mm f/5.6
Film: Fuji Provia 100F
I always say I'd rather be lucky than good, this guy came out of nowhere and took off just as fast, my shooting reflexes are getting better I see.
After having spent the night in the Panamanian town of Rio Hato our next stay would be in San Carlos where we visited the beaches of Playa Blanco, Farallon Beach and Nico's Beach.
On display at the Royal Engineers Museum in Gillingham to members of the public, press and the mayor were the six new Sapphire specification Enviro 400s recently delivered to Gillingham for dedicated use on route 101 from Sunday 7th September 2014.
Here seen departing from the display back to its home garage is ARRIVA Kent & Surrey 6475 YY14 WFX which carries the Sapphire livery along with branding for route 101. Wednesday 3rd September 2014.
Six new vehicles (6473-6478) are to be supplemented by a further four of the current batch of route 101 dedicated E400s (6450-6453) which are currently being refurbished at Alexander Dennis in Harlow to Sapphire standards, all ten will carry route 101 branding. A further two E400s ex-ARRIVA The Shires (6471-6472) have been transferred to Gillingham and whilst they are also refurbished to Sapphire specification will be unbranded and officially spares.

Launch of ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot to the International Space Station (ISS) on Crew-12. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, no earlier than Friday 13 February 2026 at 10:15 GMT/11:15 CET (5:15 local time). Sophie flies as Mission Specialist 1 on the Dragon spacecraft. The other Crew-12 members are NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, respectively commander and pilot of the mission, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, Mission Specialist 2. The French ESA astronaut is the first of her class, the Hoppers, to fly. Only two years and ten months separate the start of her astronaut training from the launch of her first long-duration mission – a record! Sophie has chosen the name εpsilon for her mission, which may last up to nine months. On board the Station, she will conduct a wide range of tasks, including European-led scientific experiments and medical research, support Earth observation activities, and contribute to operations and maintenance on the Station.

A striking & very original/unique (in choice of scenes) ca. 1967 montage by the eminently talented/prolific Russell Arasmith, possibly as part of press coverage preceding the flight of Apollo 7.
Note the faintly outlined blank rectangular area to the lower right. Possibly for whatever descriptive text to be inserted by press organizations, such as crew, launch date, spacecraft details, etc., etc.
Understandably, the CSM & spacesuit configuration/appearance is based on Apollo 1. The Rocketdyne J-2 engine of the S-IVB stage figures prominently in the illustration as well.
The discovery of rare, seldom/never seen ‘space’ artwork, such as this, is sadly, always tempered in knowing that there’s so much more that will never see the light of day again.
As is often the case with Mr. Arasmith’s works, numbering is seen in the corner of the border. Probably identifying its sequence in a/the series.
See what I mean? There were then four preceding this one, and who knows how many after it! Most, likely gone.
Doesn’t the astronaut look a lot like Fred Haise?

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) spacecraft onboard, Friday, Dec. 16, 2022, from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Jointly developed by NASA and Centre National D'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and United Kingdom Space Agency, SWOT is the first satellite mission that will observe nearly all water on Earth’s surface, measuring the height of water in the planet’s lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the ocean.

Zotye is a Chinese independent carmaker that started producing cars in 2006. Zotye showed impressive growth in the past years, selling 328,875 cars on the local market in 2016, quadruple the amount of 2012. The cars itself are slightly less impressive so far. It started with the 2008 (Nomad), an unlicensed copy of the first generation Daihatsu Terios. Later Zotye bought production rights and toolings to produce the Fiat Palio/Siena/Perla, Multipla and Lancia Lybra. The former one entered production as Zotye Z200, the Multipla as Mutiplan (M300) and the Lybra was never finalized. Zotye has a questionable reputation for copying products of foreign carmakers, making copies of the Audi A6, Audi Q3, Audi Q5, Porsche Macan and Toyota Allion, while the Domy X7, which was launched in 2017, is the production version of the Volkswagen Crossblue Coupé Concept!
A United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory onboard launches from Space Launch Complex 2, Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. SMAP is NASA’s first Earth-observing satellite designed to collect global observations of surface soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. SMAP will provide high resolution global measurements of soil moisture from space. The data will be used to enhance scientists' understanding of the processes that link Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
