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.

"Two NASA research rockets launched from Andøya Space on November 10, 2024, to study energy transfer between the lower and upper atmosphere. – The main scientific objective for VortEx 2 is to study how winds and energy from the lower parts of the atmosphere affect the upper parts, says Thomas Gansmoe, Director Sounding Rockets & Engineering Services at Andøya Space Sub-Orbital. -– The focus of the experiment is to figure out how gravity waves interact with each other, and how these interactions form vortices.
The two research rockets in the mission launched two minutes apart, and the first lift-off occurred Nov 10, at 21:36:00 UTC, reaching a apogee of 358 kilometers, while the second launch vehicle reached 144 kilometers." Source: andoyaspace.no/news-articles/nasa-vortex-2-launches-a-suc...

Launch Complex 39, Vehicle Assembly Building :
Mythique, le « Launch Complex 39 » comprenant le « Vehicle Assembly Building », l'un des plus larges bâtiments du monde, capable de renfermer des engins d'une taille démesurée. C'est en effet dans ce haut rectangle austère et dépourvu de fenêtres, visible dans plusieurs films à succès, que furent assemblées treize des fusées les plus légendaires de l'histoire spatiale : les navettes Saturn V du programme Apollo. Parmi lesquelles, le 16 juillet 1969, celle qui accomplira le défi fou d'un certain programme « Apollo 11 » et entrera dans la légende le 20 juillet, lorsque l'homme posera le premier pas sur la lune.
Le VAB était l’un des plus grands bâtiments en volume lors de son inauguration en 1965. Il mesure 525 pieds de hauteur sur 518 pieds de largeur, pour un volume de 3 664 883 mètres cubes.
Mythical, the "Launch Complex 39" including the "Vehicle Assembly Building", one of the largest buildings in the world, capable of enclosing machines of a disproportionate size. It is indeed in this austere and windowless high rectangle, visible in several blockbuster films, that thirteen of the most legendary rockets in space history were assembled: the Saturn V shuttles of the Apollo program. Among which, July 16, 1969, the one who will fulfill the crazy challenge of a certain program "Apollo 11" and will enter the legend on July 20, when the man will take the first step on the moon.
The VAB was one of the largest buildings in volume when it was inaugurated in 1965. It is 525 feet high and 518 feet wide, with a volume of 3,664,883 cubic meters.
My wife took this picture on my sons's birthday party. I think, it was a perfect moment.
I have taken some nice pictures on my son's birthday party, but I don't want to publish pictures of other people's kids.
The rocket is launched electrically and can be used several times. The solid-fuel engine can be replaced and will carry the rocket 250m high. Then thecapsule will separate and the body will descend on a little parachute. The capsule comes down on a long red ribbon. It is real fun and the kids like to count down (the whole village could hear that, I think). We didn't have enough solid-fuel engins for everybody to press the start button, but that didn't really matter.
looks fun! I remember when I was a child and my dad use to throw me in the air everytime we went to the beach... It was freak'in awesome!

St. Michael's Catholic Cemetery in Launching, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The cemetery was established in 1820, and abandoned in 1860. Many of the headstones are just simple plain rocks.
See the pilot shots where they step/jump off and on the ship in order to take command through the ship channels, thought you'd like to see how the loser to the dock at Roatan disembarks passengers for touring the island. Notice, they're launching their lifeboats.
Sort of cool to see them actually do this when it's not an emergency. Hope to never see it in an emergency.

Last day of bunting! Did you enjoy my RW&B series? I know I certainly did! Guess what's coming tomorrow!
due to a recent change of heart on this whole watermark thing, I will soon be removing the watermark on all my photographs to allow for cleaner images. However, that being said, they will not be downloadable to the general public. I'm sorry for any problems this may cause. If you have any questions or comments about the policy change, please direct them here.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is taking positive steps to reduce the number of motorcyclists killed or seriously injured on roads across Greater Manchester, with the introduction of BikeSafe, a motorcycle skills workshop designed to improve road safety.
Launched last weekend (2 September) the workshops are delivered by highly qualified traffic police officers from GMP’s Safer Roads Targeting Team and include an observed ride, interactive presentations, discussions and safety advice.
The initiative aims to reduce the number of road traffic collisions involving motorbikes by further improving the skills, knowledge and hazard awareness of experienced riders.
Chief Inspector Gareth Parkin from GMP’s Road Policing Unit said: “Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users across Greater Manchester and far too many riders are killed or seriously injured on our roads. Eleven motorcyclists have lost their lives on the roads so far this year and that is completely unacceptable.
“We’re working hard to reduce that number with the introduction of BikeSafe, a new Force measure that supports our wider operational work to reinforce rider safety and reduce casualties and fatalities.”
Public engagement and operational enforcement continues to be a priority for GMP and a recent week of action saw officers from the road policing unit on patrol across Greater Manchester, advising both drivers and motorcyclists and targeting riders who behave in an anti-social manner which can often cause serious and fatal collisions.
Chief Inspector Parkin continued “Drivers can often underestimate the proximity of motorcycles, causing risk of collision when pulling out at junctions. We’re encouraging drivers to take longer to look for motorcyclists and think about the person, not the bike.
“Motorbikes are powerful machines and failing to treat them as such can lead to devastating consequences. It is vital that riders remain vigilant at all times, pay attention to their speed and surroundings and to be aware of other road users at all times.
More information and details of how to book on a BikeSafe workshop can be found on the website: www.bikesafe.co.uk/greater-manchester

Santa gives an interview!
Greater Manchester Police has launched its Christmas campaign today as part of ‘GMP Christmas’, tackling crime and protecting vulnerable people over the festive period.
This year’s online Advent campaign sees a festive cast take over usual TV programming with the launch of Tinsel TV. A new video will be released every day from 1 December, which sees Rudolph, Snowman and a Big Bad Wolf join Santa and his helpers as they host a series of TV programmes with crime prevention advice for the residents of Greater Manchester.
GMP is encouraging people to think about how they might keep themselves safe, and to consider what their present to, or presence within, their community, family or friendships might be.
At the same time, the campaign will showcase the promises that GMP makes to the public at Christmas and all year round, using a mixture of law enforcement and public engagement to protect the local communities.
Operationally, high-visibility patrols will be in place across the region to detect and deter criminal activity, as well as providing reassurance and assistance. There will also be 12 high-profile days of action which will tackle the traditional spike in crime usually seen during this time of year.
Purse bells and other crime prevention tools will be handed out to shoppers in town centres to keep thieves at bay, and police are also maintaining a strong presence around car parks to help prevent items being stolen from vehicles.
The Christmas drink and drug drive operation, which also starts today (1 December 2015), will continue throughout the month and officers will be testing motorists around the clock and reinforcing the ‘none for the road’ message.
In addition, officers and cadets will be delivering hampers to the elderly and those in need, and the public will be given a live insight into the world of policing on one of the busiest days of the year – Mad Friday.
Assistant Chief Constable John O’Hare said:
“This time of year is a busy one for the force and our colleagues across the emergency services, and we have been thoroughly preparing for the festive period.
“Our top priority is making sure that the people of Greater Manchester enjoy Christmas in the safest possible manner.
“It can be a very busy time of year, but we are asking the public to take some time to have a think about what their Christmas present might be to their community or family. Whether you promise to visit an elderly relative or neighbour, or volunteer to be the designated driver for friends on a night out, we can all do our part to keep ourselves and others safe this season.
“This Christmas, GMP will be present to tackle criminals and protect the people of Greater Manchester. We hope our neighbourhoods can embrace the spirit of community this Christmas and share their presence, too.”
Greater Manchester Mayor and Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd said:
“Christmas brings out the best in Greater Manchester people – the majority of whom are generous and warm-hearted. I hope people will tap into that festive community spirit and look out for older friends and neighbours who perhaps need a little help and company this year.
“There will always be those who want to spoil the party for everyone, so please take care of yourself and your friends when you’re out enjoying yourselves, and make sure everyone gets home safe and sound.”
People can post their Christmas promises online using one of the GMP templates, available at www.gmp.police.uk.
People can also visit the website to check out the daily videos giving seasonal crime prevention advice, or follow #GMPChristmas on social media for the latest police activity throughout December.
