The unmanned Skylab 1/Saturn V space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 12:00 noon (EDT), May 14, 1973, to place the Skylab space station cluster in Earth orbit. The Skylab 1 payload included four of the five major components of the space station-Orbital Workshop, Apollo Telescope Mount, Multiple Docking Adapter, and Airlock Module.

No details given for this mini diorama seem at Model Mania, Locomotion, Shildon.
Very well modelled though.
ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano was launched to the International Space Station from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 20 July 2019 alongside NASA astronaut Drew Morgan and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Skvortsov.
The trio travelled to the Station in a Soyuz MS-13 spacecraft and will spend more than six months living and working in orbit.
Beyond is Luca’s second space mission – his first was Volare in 2013. During the second part of this mission, known as Expedition 61, Luca will become the third European and first Italian commander of the International Space Station.
The most recent European commander was ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst during his Horizons mission in 2018. The first was ESA astronaut Frank De Winne during his OasISS mission in 2009.
During Beyond, Luca will support over 50 European experiments and more than 200 International experiments in microgravity. A number of these experiments, such as Grip and Grasp, are continuations from previous missions.
New experiments include BioRock, an experiment looking at the potential of microbes in extracting minerals from rocks on other planets, and NutrISS, which looks at the best strategies for monitoring and controlling changes in energy balance, metabolism and body composition during spaceflight.

Description: KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - NASA's Lunar Prospector spacecraft launched successfully on its way to the Moon from Launch Complex 46 (LC46) at Cape Canaveral Air Station on January 6, 1998, at 9:38 p.m. EST. It was the inaugural launch of Lockheed Martin's Athena II launch vehicle and the first launch from LC46, operated by Spaceport Florida Authority. Lunar Prospector, built for the NASA Ames Research Center by Lockheed Martin, was a spin-stabilized spacecraft designed to provide NASA with the first global maps of the Moon's surface and its gravitational magnetic fields, as well as look for the possible presence of ice near the lunar poles. Results published later in 1998 confirmed large quantities of ice at both lunar poles.

The adventures I had with friends from alpha to closing are my favorite memories of LEGO Universe. We explored every world, discovered every unreleased fragment, and completed every achievement. This vignette depicts two friends on an adventure at the monument on launch day.
I've run out of pieces again, but the launch base dimensions and frame is looking better and is getting a lot stronger.
Watched a beautiful night launch of the Russian Progress-MS10 cargo vehicle while #ISS was flying right above Baikonur. Destination: us at the International Space Station.

Submarines are kind of cool to wander around in. This was the front of an older (non nuclair) submarine. What you're looking at is the torpedo launcher.
btw: submarines are very tripod unfriendly :)
The missile launchers are located on opposite sides of the car, each covered by side of the roof. This shows the train after one missile has been launched, with its launch rail still erected, and the other ready for launch.

Full Description:The Space Shuttle Columbia on Pad 39A during the picture-perfect ascent of sister ship Discovery after lift off of STS-31. This was the first time since January 1986 that there was a Shuttle on each pad, which are separated by 1.6 miles. Discovery, carrying a five-member crew and the Hubble Space Telescope, lifted off at 8:34 a.m. EDT, April 24. Columbia, with its Astro-1 observatory, was scheduled for launch in May.

201405290007hq (29 May 2014) --- The Soyuz TMA-13M rocket is launched with Expedition 40 Soyuz Commander Maxim Suraev of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos). Flight Engineer Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency (ESA) and Flight Engineer Reid Wiseman of NASA on May 29, 2014 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Suraev, Gerst and Wiseman will spend the next five and a half months aboard the International Space Station. Photo credit: NASA/Joel Kowsky
This rocket was launched from Ny Ålesund, Svalbard in early December to study the upper atmosphere. I was present as part of the team and took the opportunity to try a rocket launch shot on large format film. This was done on my Tachihara with Fuji Provia 100F film. The exposure was started about two hours before launch at f/8 to expose the sky, star trails, and distant landscape. About 30 seconds before launch I stopped the lens down to f/16 to expose the foreground lit by the rocket like a giant flash. I'm fairly proud of getting this on large format film since there's no way to meter or do any kind of test exposure.
Camera: Tachihara 4x5 field
Lens: Caltar-S 135mm f/5.6
Film: Fuji Provia 100F

Launching a few weeks behind its twin Viking 1, Viking 2 followed suit and flew as an orbiter-lander pair to enter Mars orbit. The landers then separated from the orbiters and descended to the planet's surface.

A United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket with the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) observatory onboard launches from Space Launch Complex 2, Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. SMAP is NASA’s first Earth-observing satellite designed to collect global observations of surface soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. SMAP will provide high resolution global measurements of soil moisture from space. The data will be used to enhance scientists' understanding of the processes that link Earth's water, energy, and carbon cycles. Photo Credit: (NASA/Bill Ingalls)
