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.

Sorry, can’t chat—gotta wing it! This Gray Catbird had better things to do than sit around and get his picture taken.
This photograph is part of the Shipbuilding on the River Tyne, 1960 - 1977 collection which was kindly donated to Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums.
Taken by Ronald Sanderson, this photograph captures a view of the river probably taken from Hebburn, of The Ottawa launched into the river and being turned with the aid of the tugs in front of spectators. This photograph was taken in 1964. It is a 35mm slide.

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

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!

The Delta launch vehicle family started development in 1959. The Delta was composed of parts from the Thor, an intermediate-range ballistic missile, as its first stage, and the Vanguard as its second. The first Delta was launched from Cape Canaveral on May 13, 1960 and was powerful enough to deliver a 100-pound spacecraft into geostationary transfer orbit. Delta has been used to launch civil, commercial, and military satellites into orbit. Kevin Forsyth remarks that "Delta is one of the most enduring members of the original family of US space launch vehicles and has long been known as 'the workhorse of space.'"
For more information about Delta, please see Chapter 3 in Roger Launius and Dennis Jenkins' book To Reach the High Frontier, published by The University Press of Kentucky in 2002.

On Saturday, March 2, 2019 at 2:49am (ET), SpaceX successfully launched the Crew Dragon capsule on a demo flight to the International Space Station. This is a 218-sec exposure captured from the roof of the Florida Today building. (Pic: me / We Report Space)
Public boat launch in Carleton Place. There are twin docks, and there is a minimal usage fee. From here, boats go left or southish into Mississippi Lake. The town is the other way and the river becomes unnavigable due to rapids. That's why the town is here in the first place -- at a site where waterpower could be harnessed.

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.

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.

Golden slippers leave silver trails of water as the Snowy Egret launches into the air. This egret worked down the bank coming to me as I waited for the Pelicans. When it got close and saw me, it took off across the water leaving me with ripples where it stood a moment ago.
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.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California carrying NASA's DART spacecraft.

SpaceX launch a Falcon 9 @1738 PDT from SLC-4 on Vandenberg SFB, California. More Starlink Satellites.
Night launches are always amazing.
This is the launch of Space Shuttle Discovery on STS-116 as seen from near the top of Tampa Bay.
Even though I missed the first few seconds of the launch while I was trying to get my camera aimed properly, I'm very happy with how this came out. There were some thin clouds, which is why it's segmented like it is.
I think it looks better on black.
This was one of the most interesting photos of December 9th, 2006.
Most of the vapor trail is high enough it's still lit up by the sun - including the lowest part, which is clearly reddened!
The bright spot in the middle of the frame, below the trail, is Venus. The one in the thicker part is the previous stage after separation.
Probably launched from Vandenberg, judging by the trajectory, and probably SpaceX, based on the fact that they seem to do a lot more launches than anyone else these days.
