Baikonur Cosmodrome Site 200
Site 200 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome is a launch site used, along with Site 81, by Proton rockets. It consists of two launch pads, areas 39 and 40. Area 39 is currently (as of 2021) used for Proton-M launches, including commercial flights conducted by International Launch Services. Area 40 is currently (as of 2021) inactive, as it was slated to be rebuilt as a launch site for the Angara rocket. Although the project was relocated to Site 250, Area 40 was not put back into service.

A number of planetary probes have been launched from Site 200. Venera 14, Venera 15, Vega 1, Fobos 1, the failed Mars-96, and ExoMars were launched from area 39. Venera 13, Venera 16, Vega 2, Fobos 2 were launched from Area 40. Area 39 was also the launch site for the core of the Mir space station, along with both Kvant modules, and the Kristall module. Salyut 7 and Granat were launched from Area 40.

On 13 May 2021 the pad was modified to support the launch of Nauka.

Phobos 2
Phobos 2 was the last space probe designed by the Soviet Union. It was designed to explore the moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos. It was launched on 12 July 1988, and entered orbit on 29 January 1989.

Phobos 2 operated nominally throughout its cruise and Mars orbital insertion phase on 29 January 1989, gathering data on the Sun, interplanetary medium, Mars, and Phobos. Phobos 2 investigated the Mars surface and atmosphere and returned 37 images of Phobos with a resolution of up to 40 meters.

Shortly before the final phase of the mission, during which the spacecraft was to approach within 50 m of Phobos's surface and release two landers (one, a mobile hopper, the other, a stationary platform) contact with Phobos 2 was lost. The mission ended when the spacecraft signal failed to be reacquired on 27 March 1989. The cause of the failure was determined to be a malfunction of the on-board computer.
Dahme Flood Relief Canal
The Dahme Flood Relief Canal, or Dahme-Umflutkanal in German, is a canal in the German state of Brandenburg. Its principal purpose is to divert water from the upper reaches of the River Spree just below Leibsch, to run into the River Dahme at Märkisch Buchholz.

The canal is entered from the River Spree by a lock and is navigable downstream to Märkisch Buchholz. A weir here prevents direct access to the River Dahme, but a small inclined plane allows canoes and small craft to by-pass the weir near Märkisch Buchholz.

The canal is 9.5 kilometres (5.9 mi) in length, and at about its midpoint crosses the Köthener See. The Umflut Canal opens up the nearly 200 km long Märkische Runde with the two aforementioned boat slips, clockwise via Dahme, Oder-Spree Canal, Neuendorf (and other) waters, as well as 12 locks.

Märkisch Buchholz
Märkisch Buchholz (German pronunciation: [ˈmɛʁkɪʃ ˈbuːxhɔlts] ⓘ) is a small town in the Dahme-Spreewald district, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is situated on the river Dahme, 20 km northwest of Lübben (Spreewald) and resp. 50 km southeast of Berlin.

Grove Mill
Grove Mill winery was established in 1988 in the Marlborough wine region of New Zealand, and is now owned by California-based Foley Wines.

The winery was founded by group of local grape growers and wine enthusiasts who purchased the Malt house (The Mill), a historic landmark in Grovetown, Blenheim, and transformed it into a 150 tonne winery.  By 1993, demand for their wine outgrew production capacity and Grove Mill underwent expansion. 18 hectares of land was purchased west of Blenheim, giving the winery the capability of producing nearly 70,000 cases of wine per year.  Although it can produce 70,000 cases per year, normal production is around 60,000.

In 2006, Grove Mill became the world's first carbon neutral winery.
