PACIFIC OCEAN (Mar. 9, 2015) - A RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) is fired from the forward launcher aboard Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) during a live-fire exercise. Live fire events are performed daily by ships underway and are designed to improve combat readiness and support the "Warfighting First" tenet as directed by Commander, Naval Surface Forces and the Chief of Naval Operations. Essex is currently underway conducting a PHIBRON/MEU Integration (PMINT) training exercise with Amphibious Squadron THREE and 15th MEU in preparation for an upcoming deployment.

Shot from Manatee County, FL
This was my first real attempt at catching a launch. I had watched one from this location without a camera or phone before, and that one went north. Since then, they have all gone south. So this one was a real experiment for me. I wasn’t sure where to focus, so I focused on infinity figuring that would get the rocket in focus. That was stupid because I focused on the moving object for a long exposure and then everything else was a little soft. Lesson learned there.
I also learned that a 30 second exposure was too short. For more recent shots I’m in bulb mode, and I add a little ND filter to compensate.
Overall though, I was really happy with this one! I considered it a good first attempt

This is the launch of the first Project Kuiper mission, KA-01, with 27 satellites. The launch vehicle was a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket. The launch was from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on April 28, 2025.

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.
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.

This is the launcher that will transport BepiColombo to orbit. The upper part with the spacecraft and the fairing will be integrated in the ‘final assembly building’.
The image captures the transfer of the Ariane 5 launcher from the ‘launcher integration building’ to the ‘final assembly building’ at Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou last week.
BepiColombo is a joint endeavour between ESA and JAXA, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It is the first European mission to Mercury, the smallest and least explored planet in the inner Solar System, and the first to send two spacecraft to make complementary measurements of the planet’s dynamic environment at the same time.
Launch is currently scheduled for 01:45 GMT on 20 October. Check for updates and follow the launch live

Ryazanskiy, Bresnik, and Nespoli will spend the next four and a half months living and working aboard the International Space Station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Joel Kowsky)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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

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.
Today was the launch of the latest batch of vehicles new to the First Glasgow fleet this time for the 77 service. The launch bus at St Enoch Square was 33391 (SK19EOB) a recently delivered Alexander Dennis E40D iwth Alxander Enviro 400MMC bodywork.
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.

Hope everyone is having a good summer (or winter - whatever the case might be). My apologies for not commenting on your photos - I'll have little time the next few days so I'll have to catch up on commenting on your images later.
I think this might be a spittlebug or froghopper. However they are supposed to lay eggs on host plants the larva will eat. This one seemed to be launching eggs one at a time out the rear and over the side of the leaf. I tried to catch a few in my hand to look at them but they were too small to see, except while in motion.
Id help appreciated.

With literally thousands of them, you'd think I could resist posting three more Osprey shots, but you'd be wrong. On Armand Bayou near Bay Area Park.

Rubins, Ivanishin, and Onishi launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan the morning of July 7, Kazakh time (July 6 Eastern time.) All three will spend approximately four months on the orbital complex, returning to Earth in October. Photo Credit: (NASA/GCTC/Andrey Shelepin)
