NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket with the Orion spacecraft aboard is seen atop the mobile launcher as it arrives at Launch Pad 39B, Friday, Nov. 4, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Artemis I mission is the first integrated test of the agency’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, SLS rocket, and supporting ground systems. Launch of the uncrewed flight test is targeted for Nov. 14 at 12:07 a.m. EST. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)

Full Description:The Space Shuttle Columbia on Pad 39A during the picture-perfect ascent of sister ship Discovery after lift off of STS-31. This was the first time since January 1986 that there was a Shuttle on each pad, which are separated by 1.6 miles. Discovery, carrying a five-member crew and the Hubble Space Telescope, lifted off at 8:34 a.m. EDT, April 24. Columbia, with its Astro-1 observatory, was scheduled for launch in May.

The four women in charge of the effort to build and test the 212-foot-tall rocket stage that will enable NASA's first Artemis mission to the Moon watch as the first completed core stage for NASA's Space Launch System Program rolls out from the agency's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans on Jan. 8, 2020. These key leaders are, from left, Lisa Bates, NASA Stages element deputy manager; Jennifer Boland-Masterson, Boeing Michoud production/operations manager; Julie Bassler, NASA Stages element manager; and, Noelle Zietsman, Boeing chief engineer. Each of these women manage the entire scope of design, development, testing and production of the complex core stage that will power the super heavy-lift rocket and the agency's Artemis lunar missions. Combined, the women have 90 years of experience in the aerospace and defense industries. Bassler and Bates previously held leadership positions within many NASA programs and projects, including International Space Station, space shuttle, microgravity experiments, robotic lunar landers and other launch vehicles. Â Manufacturing of the core stages for the SLS rocket is a multistep, collaborative process for NASA and Boeing, the core stage lead contractor. The first core stage for Artemis I is undergoing the core stage Green Run test series at NASA's Stennis Space Center near Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, ahead of the program's first launch. Michoud manufacturing teams are currently producing core stages for the second and third Artemis missions.
NASA is working to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. SLS is part of NASA’s backbone for deep space exploration, along with Orion and the Gateway in orbit around the Moon. SLS will be the most powerful rocket in the world and will send astronauts in the Orion spacecraft farther into space than ever before. No other rocket is capable of carrying astronauts in Orion around the Moon.

Test launch of the Lunar variant of the R-7 rocket. Obviously inspired by Shannon's "Battle for the Moon" theme.
Made with Super Takumar 20mm lens on Pentax Spotmatic F, with Tri-X BW film, rated at 800. 1/500 sec. at f8.
My first day out with this lens. With flat light, I was underwhelmed with the images, this being one of the best. I think this lens will look much better when I've shot it in good light.

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.

Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Flight Engineer Reid Wiseman of NASA on May 29, 2014 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Suraev, Gerst and Wiseman will spend the next five and a half months aboard the International Space Station. Photo credit: NASA/Joel Kowsky
This rocket was launched from Ny Ålesund, 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
A huge bulk freighter departs from the the Red Port. Its cargo is tonnes of Red Leicester. These massive blocks will be honed by skilled artisans into the correct shape and then included in @lego sets. Remember this the next time you find an extra 54200 1x1 slope in your bag of pieces!
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches with NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) spacecraft onboard from Launch Complex 39A, Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The IXPE spacecraft is the first satellite dedicated to measuring the polarization of X-rays from a variety of cosmic sources, such as black holes and neutron stars. Launch occurred at 1:00 a.m. EST.

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.
Launching a few weeks behind its twin Viking 1, Viking 2 followed suit and flew as an orbiter-lander pair to enter Mars orbit. The landers then separated from the orbiters and descended to the planet's surface.

We took the younger scouts ('cubs') to the sailing club hoping to give some experience of the 'Optimist' class sailing dinghy. Unfortunately the chop was a little much for the wee boat, and so they spent their time swimming. The one we did launch returned after a short while awash.

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)

NASA has announced the winners of the 2016 NASA Student Launch challenge, held April 13-16 near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
Vanderbilt University of Nashville, Tennessee, won first place and took home the top prize of $5,000, offered by Orbital ATK, of Promontory, Utah, longtime corporate sponsor of the challenge.
The University of Louisville, in Kentucky, won second place, and Cornell University of Ithaca, New York, placed third. The Rookie of the Year award was presented to the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
Nearly 50 middle and high school, college and university teams from 22 states demonstrated advanced aerospace and engineering skills related to real-world activities and programs on NASA’s journey to Mars. Teams spent eight months building and testing rockets designed to fly to an altitude of one mile, deploy an automated parachute system, and land safe enough for reuse, while some teams also designed scientific payloads for data collection during flight.

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.
