The "Aggregat 4" missile, better known as the V2 rocket (V2 = Vergeltungswaffe 2 = Vengeance Weapon 2) was the first long-range guided ballistic missile.
During testing in Peenemünde it was also the first vehicle reaching outer space by flying above the Kármán line (defined by the FAI at 100 km altitude) with the vertical test launch of MW 18014 on 20 June 1944 reaching an apogee of 176 km. Actual launch location was a tiny island named Greifswalder Oie.
This one here is actually just a replica standing in the Historisch-Technisches Museum Peenemünde (Historical Technical Museum Peenemünde).

Thanks for visiting!

A missile hangar inside the 1958 USS Growler submarine.It was built during the Cold War.Each of Growlers two missile hangars could hold two Regulus 1 missiles.The missiles were stored nose to tail with the wings folded.During a launch,the missiles were brought from the hangar to the launching ramp just outside the hangar doors.

This photo was taken within a minute of the last one posted, but was looking in the opposite direction. Baby Missiles by War on Drugs, is a great description for the short sharp showers that rained down.

Comet Neowise Flow Through Golden Gate Bridge
To link Comet Neowise with the most famous icon in San Francisco - Golden Gate Bridge is one of shooting plans I had since Comet Neowise became so popular among the photographers.
I used PlanIt app to make up at least 6 shooting plans around the bay area, and this is the most-wanted. However, this time of year, San Francisco has been always sunk in fogs, so I missed all chances to link it with GGB during sunrise time. Luckily I was able to capture it at the only clear night during the sunset time. This is one time shot with one exposure only.
Again, here is the tmelapse taken during the night, the only night was clear in Golden Gate Bridge area:
Roller Missile.
This photograph of this colourful bird, it's beak just penetrating the blue sky and the wings folded back, justify all those long hours spend observing and photographing from the confinement of the cabin of our vehicle.
Have a great day!
Another slab ship, not overly satisfied with this one. There's some elements I'd like to try on a large, SHIP-sized slab: the ventral acicular thing, the grabby arms near the bow, the angular fuel cells moving toward the stern.
I enjoy putting in some elements to suggest fish shapes (radiating fins, gills, tail, spines, feelers, needles, etc) but not too fishy, if that makes sense. In an abstracted way.
This is just one of two twin missile launchers which make up the Royal Navy's "HMS Manchester"'s armaments. See following pic and link for more info.
The interceptor from Proxyon Industries is one of the most effective strikecraft in the royal fleet.
For optimal maneuverability, it boasts low moments of inertia along all axes and a fully diagonal inertia tensor.
For pitch and yaw control, it has been outfitted with three reaction wheels (of which one is allowed to fail).
For roll, lateral movement and desaturating the reaction wheels, 12 small RCS thrusters have been fitted.
The pilot is situated extremely close to the center of gravity of the craft to make sure the interceptor can rotate quickly without putting strain on the pilot due to centripetal forces.
Lastly, linear acceleration is accomplished by means of three standard Solovyov rocket engines.
The interceptor comes equipped with three auto-targeting small caliber rotary-autocannons, loaded with thermite rounds. These can be used both offensively and to target incoming missiles.
The placement and range of movement of these armaments provide full cover around the entire craft, no blind spots.
When a target is detected, at least two of the autocannons will be able to fire immediately, and depending on the situation, the interceptor will make slight attitude adjustments to be able to use the third autocannon as well.
Competitors might call these armaments flimsy, but thanks to the low momentum of the lighter rounds and high rate of fire, these weapons only cause a small, almost continuous thrust when firing, which is easily compensated for by the RCS thrusters. This in turn makes the interceptor very smooth and predictable to fly, even when in combat.
Built for the Real World +200 Starfighter contest.
Applying engineering knowledge to lego models is quite fun.

Those were the days. Summer holidays from school, 15 minute cycle ride upto the fence (such as there was, no ten mile high security fence then!) to watch the two resident Phantom squadrons at work, and in those days they had the budget, and the motivation, given it was the cold war to fly a fair bit as well. The taxiway from the Northern HAS complex where 74 Sqn were housed was barely a few feet from the fence where we used to hang out, so close in fact that there was a warning about the jet wash that would sweep over you as they taxied past. This was shot late in the afternoon on a old 35mm Olympus OM10 as a print and has been scanned in so the quality isn't quite there.
The SM-62 Snark was an early intercontinental-range cruise missile developed by the United States in the 1950s. With a range of over 5,000 miles, it was designed to carry nuclear warheads. Despite being deployed for a brief period, its operational limitations and advancements in missile technology led to its eventual retirement.
Sometimes it's easier to recycle parts of builds then to sort and build again. This is made from pieces of this www.flickr.com/photos/53458657@N04/16046012354/in/datepos... and this www.flickr.com/photos/53458657@N04/22816941765/in/datepos... plus a little spinkle of creativity.
Edit: (afterthoughts)... Warning ....mech head will explode with missiles when threatened and will literally fire its face off at you.
Ukraine needs missiles.
Russia is using missiles on Ukrainian cities. Last weekend, Odesa was hit with a missile attack that killed a 3 month old baby. Russia is trying to erase Ukraine from the world, and it is using missiles to do it. Russian missiles being used last weekend, which was Orthodox Easter, had the words "Christ is Risen" written on them. Ukraine needs to fight back. They need missile defense systems. They also need missiles to attack the Orcs invading their country. It was a Ukrainian missile that took down the Moskva.
This is a Nike missile at Sandy Hook National Recreation Area. Sandy Hook and the surrounding area in Monmouth County, New Jersey, was home to many of these missiles. They are obsolete and have all been decommissioned.
With the shift from the north to the east, the geography of the battle has changed. The tactics that worked brilliantly in the Battle of Kyiv won't work in the Battle of Donbas. Ukraine needs heavy weaponry; tanks, armored personnel carriers, missile defense systems, and missiles. Ukraine is starting to get some of what they need, but they need more. You can contact your representatives and ask them to support increased military aid to Ukraine. Also, the National Bank of Ukraine has set up a special account that you can send money to to support the Ukrainian Armed Forces. You can find that at bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsra...
