Last one for today.

Columbia at Vandenberg AFB for Flight Vehicle Verification (FVV) tests:

Same subject, different angle, now the mobile Shuttle Assembly Building (SAB) is in the FOV:

Amazing Dave!!!:tiphat:

Experimental Spacetech Micro-nuclear reactor (far left), it's cooling medium tanks and radiators. Main Station Propulsion System is visible in the view.

I think I should make a VSA :facepalm: :lol:

Rover parked to film the lift-off

Hmm. Just realized that's the Irish flag

Also it seem we have reached 200 pages

Italian, actually.

 

[Stevodoran]

Italian, actually.

Are you sure because i opened it in photoshop and increased exposure and it is more orange thank red:

 

[Solar424]

Are you sure it is not the flag of the Ivory Coast?

They are very similar.

But it's the [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4334"]Poderosa II[/ame] mission, which is Italian.

 

[Stevodoran]

But it's the Poderosa II mission, which is Italian.

My mistake then.

Seeking some inspiration to throw myself into improving it, I got the 7k-OKS out of the hangar once more, after some time grounded...
So here's Soyuz 11. (For obvious reasons, no pics of the landing)

At the launch pad:

Lift-off

On the way to Salyut 1

A look out of the window

Hope this time it works...

The Last Dance !!

 

[Scav]

Um . . .



:facepalm:

All I've got to say at this point is . . . whoever's driving that towing truck had better have the right stuff.

They'd also have to construct a new processing facility near the runway. There is no WAY that Vanguard would clear the buildings and parking lots between the SLF and the OPFs.

This might dash my (*ahem*) new vision for NASA's manned space program. If they dump this bird into the drink before it even gets to the runway . . .

Sorry. Just another late-night musing . . .

Preparing for tomorrows launch for a 3 day orbital test flight.

The XL-70 will be flown by Christine and Andrew (the woman and the guy next to XL-70s nose weel). HyperDart will be flown by Dough (left as seen by Christine) and mission specialist Chris (right as seen by Christine).

There is 1 scheduled EVA to test the airlock.

(This will be my first flight with the HyperDart)

Ahhh, the atmosphere... Don't you just love it?

Astrovan leaving with the astronauts. On the left the runway with the XL-70 and the Hyperdart. In the center the VAB and on the right the LC-39.

Driving

Astrovan arrived. In the distance you can see LC-39

XL-70 departs

climbing

HyperDart released. You can still see the XL-70

Coasting

And we're in orbit!

Lately not very much

Safey range detonation test over KSC

How do you do that and with what spacecraft did you do that with?

Reentering in the dart is The Hard Part :lol:
Also, did the XB-70 after separation became uncontrollable?
