Hundreds of birds scatter as the typical quiet reverie of their day is temporarily broken by the roar of a Space Shuttle surging off the pad. The orbiter Atlantis returned to space after an approximately two-year absence with a liftoff from Launch Pad 39B at 11:59:43 a.m. EST. The planned 11-day flight of Space Shuttle Mission STS-66 will continue NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, a comprehensive international collaboration to study how Earth's environment is changing and how human beings affect that change. Primary payloads for the last Shuttle flight of 1994 include the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-3), making its third flight, and the German-built Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere-Shuttle Pallet Satellite (CRISTA-SPAS), which will be deployed and later retrieved during the mission. Mission commander is Donald R. McMonagle; Curtis L. Brown Jr. is the pilot; Ellen Ochoa is the payload commander, and the three mission specialists are Joseph R. Tanner, Scott E. Parazynski, and Jean-Francois Clervoy, a French citizen who is with the European Space Agency.

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...

Night launch of SpaceX's CRS 4 mission to international space station (ISS) carried by a Falcon 9 rocket.
ESA’s new small telecom platform was launched on 28 January 2017. The Hispasat 36W-1 satellite, based on the SmallGEO platform, lifted off on a Soyuz rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
SmallGEO is Europe’s response to the market demand for more flexible, modular telecommunications platforms. It marks the first time the German satellite manufacturing company OHB System AG have been the prime contractor for a telecommunications satellite mission. Its Hispasat payload marks the first ESA partnership with a Spanish operator.

SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 from SLC-4 on Vandenberg SFB, California @0607 PST. The early morning launch caused quite the light show. Bottom left First stage returning to OCISLY in the Pacific.
Vulcan, United Launch Alliance’s next-generation American rocket, lifts off in this artist’s rendering. The rocket design leverages the proven success of the Delta IV and Atlas V launch vehicles while introducing advanced technologies and innovative features. Vulcan will have a maximum liftoff thrust of 3.8 million pounds and carry 56,000 pounds to low Earth orbit, 33,000 pounds to a geo-transfer orbit and 16,000 pounds to geostationary orbit with greater capability than any currently available single-core launch vehicle.

Now, without a water resistant camera this would be quite a challenge! I love the looks that I get from people when enter the water with my camera. And even more when I rinse it off with fresh water on the boulevard.
These gulls are very used to the people on the beach. They love to just come up and beg for your French fries or pieces of your sandwich.
