Shots from the OSIRIS-REx launch, launched by United Launch Alliance at 7:05pm (ET) on September 8, 2016 from LC-41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station / Kennedy Space Center.
Kepler, a NASA mission to search for Earth-like planets, was successfully launched at 10:49:57.465 p.m. EST on March 6, 2009.
The Kepler instrument is a 1 metre aperture telescope that will monitor the brightness of over 100 000 stars continuously for at least 3.5 years. The science team is looking for repeated drops in the brightness of a star caused by an Earth-like planet transit.
I've identified some of the stars visible (down to 7th magnitude!). tau Boo is known to host a Jupiter-like planet.
The NASA InSight spacecraft launches onboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas-V rocket, Saturday, May 5, 2018, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to study the "inner space" of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.

We did something really big today! Really big! Donuts are in order!
Check out Flickr's new and totally awesome iPhone App! And there's more stuff coming today, too!
The Oceanic Space Research Agency was founded in 1981 as an international endeavor to advance scientific knowledge throughout the region, because space is cool. In this photo taken from a chaser plane, a modified TB-41L launches Oceania's first satellite while flying over the Lamar Desert of central Alamo.
It's technically just a combination of my last bomber and a missile from the Buk-ii system that got tuned seven ways to Sunday. Nevertheless, I think this render turned out really cool.

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.

Her she goes...
Traditional ship launching on wooden ramp greased with fat of sheep... It was really spectacular, the sound of hammers on the kedges to get her going, building op the tension of the thousands who had come to Marstal to see this wonderful rebuilt ship touching the water again.
The United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas-V rocket with the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) spacecraft onboard is seen as it launches on Monday, Feb. 11, 2013 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) mission is a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey that will continue the Landsat Program's 40-year data record of monitoring the Earth's landscapes from space.

Clyde Marine's Beaver Bay flying a flag warning of the launching of Calmac's newest ferry - MV Glen Sannox.
Double-crested Cormorant taking off from a salt marsh near Mountain View, Ca this morning.
This is probably my favorite bird in the SF Bay Area; it is a powerful swimmer, it's reflective eyes assist with hunting prey down along the bottom, and the distance it travels underwater and the time it stays down is quite impressive. This morning I caught the Pelicans waiting for the Cormorants to stir things up, and then feed up on the surface.

The launch of U.S. Air Force cruise missile Navaho in 1957. Even though it never reached operational status before cancellation in 1957, Navaho research development contributed to the aeronautical research program. The heavy Navaho vehicle weighed 136,000 kilograms, capable of Mach-3 speeds, and used an improved V-2 engine, was boosted into the air by three liquid-propellant rocket engines of 135,000 pounds of thrust each. Variants of these engines were developed for Army's Redstone and Jupiter rockets.

Showoff - Who needs wings anyway?!
Too much blue from the neighbor's showing through the reed fencing I put there to hide it. Time for more fencing. strong winds lately have been rough on the reeds.

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.

NASA's InSight lander just hitched a ride to Mars on an Atlas V rocket! ETA: November 26, 2018. This was the first interplanetary mission to leave from California and it was a joy to watch it go! This is a long-exposure shot of the rocket streaking through the sky seen from about 85 miles away from the launch site at Vandeberg AFB. #NASA #InSight #Mars #ULA #AtlasV

From summer 2013 at the cabin. A 30 second exposure from the marina by our cabin. It's starting to be spring here, time to start thinking about summer at the cabin.
Posted as day 5 of a combined 10 day B&W challenge from Cindy's Here and kfpsardou. One thing I like about this miniproject is that I'm going through some older photos doing a little past processing. I had taken a series of long exposures at the marina that I never did process. A nice little rediscovery in my archives. I'm trying to post something a little different every day, and this day is a long exposure landscape.
June 16, 2025 - SpaceX Launch at 8:39 PM during twilight Blue Hour at Huntington Beach Pier. Photo Shoot with Kristina M., and Jon Racasa.
Today saw the long-awaited launch of the new MMCs for route 23, replacing a batch of 58-plated E300s. 26148 (SN67 WVS) and 26146 (SN67 WVP) took part in a small ceremony at the South Parade terminus this morning.

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.
