At around 3:00 am Saturday, July 17, Boeing's CST-100 Starliner emerged from the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. It traveled at 5 mph to United Launch Alliance's Vertical Integration Facility, where it was placed atop its ride to the International Space Station, an Atlas V rocket.

Rollout to the launch pad of the Soyuz rocket with the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft inside, 4 June 2018. The spacecraft will launch ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst into space alongside NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Roscosmos commander Sergei Prokopyev from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 6 June.
The 50-m tall Soyuz rocket will propell the astronauts to their cruising speed of around 28 800 km/h. Within 10 minutes of rising from the pad, the trio travelled over 1640 km and gained 210 km altitude. Every second for nine minutes, their spacecraft accelerated 50 km/h on average.
The rocket is rolled to the launch pad on a train, the astronauts are not allowed to see this part of the launch preparation – it is considered bad luck.
This will be Alexander’s second spaceflight, called Horizons. He will also be the second ESA astronaut to take over command of the International Space Station. The Horizons science programme is packed with European research: over 50 experiments will deliver benefits to people on Earth as well as prepare for future space exploration.

The Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft is rolled out by train, on 21 November 2014, from the MIK 40 integration facility to the Baikonur Cosmodrome launch pad 31, in Kazakhstan.
The launch of the Soyuz rocket to the International Space Station (ISS) with Expedition 42/43 ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, Roscosmos commander Anton Shkaplerov and Terry Virts of NASA, is scheduled on 23 November at 20:59 GMT (21:59 CET).
Samantha was assigned to the Futura mission more than two years ago and has travelled the world training on all the elements of the most complex machine ever built: the International Space Station. She learnt how to control the Station’s robotic arms, how to handle any emergency and how to perform all the scientific experiments she will run for the scientists on Earth.

The NASA SLS rocket with the Orion spacecraft and European Service module in the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
Taken a day before rollout to the launchpad this Moon rocket will launch the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis I mission.
In that package is the Orion spacecraft which consists of the NASA’s Crew Module, the Crew Module Adapter and ESA’s European Service Module. Together these modules will power the spacecraft around the Moon and back. Over 30 engines, four solar wings, 8.6 tons of propellant and 11 km of cables are inside. For the first Artemis mission they will work in harmony to travel from Earth to the Moon, make two flybys and return.

L-3: Our Soyuz rocket with the spacecraft inside is rolled out to the launchpad. The system to keep it upright is ingeniously simple. By using counterweights the rocket is held upright but the slightest force (such as liftoff) pushes the supports out of the way, no complicated electronics required! Did you ever wonder how a launch time is recorded? Easy, the rocket is standing on a large switch, as soon as it is depressed (i.e. we are launched) the time is recorded and we have a launch time!
L-3 : Transfert de la fusée jusqu’au pas de tir. Ça a l’air impressionnant, mais le système pour la faire tenir à la verticale n’a rien de compliqué : on utilise tout simplement des contrepoids. Pas besoin non plus d’électroniques sophistiquées pour dégager la voie à la fusée lors du lancement, la force du décollage suffisant largement pour faire basculer les structures de soutien en arrière. Comment arrive-t-on à connaître l’heure exacte du décollage ? Là aussi, c’est facile : la fusée est installée sous une sorte de grand bouton-poussoir qui est relâché quand elle décolle, ce qui déclenche l’enregistrement de l’heure du lancement.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has begun the rollout of a programme to upgrade and replace the network of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras across Greater Manchester, which makes vehicles of interest, such as those which have been stolen, being driven without insurance or being used in organised crime, easier to detect and locate.
The force has a large system of fixed and vehicle ANPR cameras. Any and every vehicle that passes by the camera, has its registration number read instantly and checked against a database of vehicles of interest. This allows officers to quickly locate and intercept the vehicle, making necessary checks and when appropriate, arrests.
Last month, following a burglary in Stockport where four men in balaclavas, armed with a machete and a baseball bat, entered a house and took keys to a VW Golf, officers used intelligence collated from the ANPR system to locate the BMW that the offenders had arrived in, believed to have been stolen a month earlier in Cheshire.
The vehicle was pursued by officers from GMP’s Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit (TVIU), Cheshire Police, with assistance from NPAW and three offenders were detained.
The system has also proved a vital part of investigations into finding missing people, targeting uninsured vehicles as well as solving cases of terrorism and major and organised crime, as for a limited period of time, the ANPR cameras will store the registration of every vehicle that passes by, allowing officers to pinpoint its location and create a map of the vehicles movements.
Inspector Jon Middleton, GMP’s CCTV and ANPR Manager, said: “ANPR is a highly effective tool which denies criminals use of the road, provides intelligence to tackle criminality and allows us to protect vulnerable people.
“The upgrade of our ANPR network will allow us to continue to make arrests which, without the intelligence supplied by technology, may not be possible. The information it provides also allows for those arrests to be quicker, resulting in less resource being used and a faster outcome for our victims.
“This investment in the latest technology gives us access to information that enables us to prevent and solve crime, a key step on the Plan on a Page which was unveiled by the Chief Constable last year.”
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

Rollout to the launch pad of the Soyuz rocket with the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft inside, 4 June 2018. The spacecraft will launch ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst into space alongside NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Roscosmos commander Sergei Prokopyev from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 6 June.
The 50-m tall Soyuz rocket will propell the astronauts to their cruising speed of around 28 800 km/h. Within 10 minutes of rising from the pad, the trio travelled over 1640 km and gained 210 km altitude. Every second for nine minutes, their spacecraft accelerated 50 km/h on average.
The rocket is rolled to the launch pad on a train, the astronauts are not allowed to see this part of the launch preparation – it is considered bad luck.
This will be Alexander’s second spaceflight, called Horizons. He will also be the second ESA astronaut to take over command of the International Space Station. The Horizons science programme is packed with European research: over 50 experiments will deliver benefits to people on Earth as well as prepare for future space exploration.
