Crash test dummy by Staff Writers Paris (ESA) Jan 20, 2022 Crash test dummies are used for testing spacecraft, not just cars. This example is a veteran of an ambitious past project to develop a small spaceplane. The X-38 Crew Return Vehicle was a joint ESA-NASA plan to create a small lifting body glider, like a mini Space Shuttle, that could bring astronauts home from the International Space Station in an emergency. A series of flight tests ended in 2001 when an X-38 was dropped from a NASA B-52 aircraft at 13 715 m. The project did not proceed further however and what is formally known as an 'anthropomorphic test dummy' never got a chance to fly. Instead ESA applied its experience from the X-38 programme to develop its own lifting-body glider programme. The uncrewed Intermediate Experimental Vehicle IXV proved the concept in 2015, when it was launched atop a Vega launcher then recovered after controlled flight to a Pacific Ocean splashdown. ESA's IXV experience in turn has been applied to the reusable Space Rider spaceplane, set to make its first launch next year. The ATD is part of the first selection of items on the 99 Objects of ESA ESTEC website, a set of intriguing, often surprising artefacts helping tell the story of more than half a century of activity at ESA's technical heart. 2021: A year of space tourism, flights on Mars, China's rise Washington (AFP) Dec 30, 2021 From the Mars Ingenuity helicopter's first powered flight on another world to the launch of the James Webb telescope that will peer into the earliest epoch of the Universe, 2021 was a huge year for humanity's space endeavors. Beyond the science milestones, billionaires battled to reach the final frontier first, an all-civilian crew went into orbit, and Star Trek's William Shatner waxed profound about what it meant to see the Earth from the cosmos, as space tourism finally came into its own.

Professor Paul Fitts was among the leading U of M faculty members who, during the two decades after World War II, helped to greatly enhance Michigan’s reputation as a premier US public university. The B-17 Flying Fortress rolled off the drawing board and onto the runway in a mere 12 months, just in time to become the fearsome workhorse of the US Air Force during World War II. Its astounding toughness made pilots adore it: The B-17 could roar through angry squalls of shrapnel and bullets, emerging pockmarked but still airworthy. It was a symbol of American ingenuity, held aloft by four engines, bristling with a dozen machine guns. Imagine being a pilot of that mighty plane. You know your primary enemy—the Germans and Japanese in your gunsights. But you have another enemy that you can’t see, and it strikes at the most baffling times. Say you’re easing in for another routine landing. You reach down to deploy your landing gear. Suddenly, you hear the scream of metal tearing into the tarmac. You’re rag-dolling around the cockpit while your plane skitters across the runway. A thought flickers across your mind about the gunners below and the other crew: "Whatever has happened to them now, it’s my fault." When your plane finally lurches to a halt, you wonder to yourself: "How on earth did my plane just crash when everything was going fine? What have I done?" For all the triumph of America’s new planes and tanks during World War II, a silent reaper stalked the battlefield: accidental deaths and mysterious crashes that no amount of training ever seemed to fix. And it wasn’t until the end of the war that the Air Force finally resolved to figure out what had happened. To do that, the Air Force called upon a young psychologist at the Aero Medical Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. Paul Fitts was a handsome man with a soft Tennessee drawl, analytically minded but with a shiny wave of Brylcreemed hair, Elvis-like, which projected a certain suave nonconformity. Decades later, he’d become known as one of the Air Force’s great minds, the person tasked with hardest, weirdest problems—such as figuring out why people saw UFOs. For now though, he was still trying to make his name with a newly minted PhD in experimental psychology. Having an advanced degree in psychology was still a novelty; with that novelty came a certain authority. Fitts was supposed to know how people think. But his true talent is to realize that he doesn’t. Read the full article at Wired.

US and Israel Unveil F-35 ‘Crown Jewel’: Next-Gen Stealth Fighter Jet The F-35 stealth fighter jet, known in Hebrew as the Adir (“mighty”), was rolled out Wednesday in a special ceremony in Forth Worth, Texas attended by officials from the Israel Air Force and Defense Minister, including freshly appointed Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman, as well as Governor Greg Abbott of Texas and US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro. As the next generation jet stood majestically on the stage, emblazoned with a Star of David, top Israeli pilots heaped praise on the Lockheed Martin plane scheduled to be delivered to Israel in December. “It was like holding the future in my hands,” said Brig. Gen. Tal Kelman, IAF Chief of Air Staff. “The unique combination between split edge technology, lethality and amazing man-machine interface will lead the world to the fifth generation”. “I don’t think that it is an exaggeration to say that the presence of the F-35 in the Middle East will change the dynamic of the region for the better,” Kelman added. — Israeli Air Force (@iafsite) June 22, 2016 “The IDF’s military strength is Israel’s main pillar of defense. The F-35s will dramatically enhance the IDF’s military power,” said Liberman. “Israel is the first country outside the US to receive these operational, excellent airplanes. The F-35 technology represents the crown jewel of air-power superiority and will therefore be a great contribution to the IDF’s air force.” Liberman also stress that diplomatic tensions between Israel and the US have not affected the security cooperation. “It’s not a secret that we have from time to time some disagreements, some disputes, with the US on the political level regarding some solutions with our neighbors,” Liberman said. “But when it comes to Israel’s security, we really enjoy full understanding, fruitful cooperation and strong commitment to our security concerns and needs.” The rollout ceremony also featured a performance Israeli singer-songwriter David Broza, who sang his trademark ballads of peace. Going off script for a moment, Liberman joked to Broza: “I’m not so optimistic like you about the possibility of achieving peace with our neighbors in the near future, but despite my personal position please try to create more new songs.” Following the rollout ceremony, Minister Liberman entered the aircraft and scribbled on the jet with a Sharpie: “The best aircraft for the best pilots.”

Updates Scheduled for Special Operations Aircraft Photo: Defense Dept.As commandos face new and complex missions around the globe, acquisition leaders are planning a slew of upgrades for Special Operations Command’s inventory of helicopters and tilt-rotor aircraft. The modifications will include improvements to engine performance and survivability. At Air Force Special Operations Command, officials are working to make improvements to the CV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft, said Col. Lee Anderson, AFSOC’s chief of operations training. The aircraft provides commandos with long-range, high-speed vertical lift, he said. “The farther away I can launch from, the more flexibility I have … to cover a broad area from one location, or … to be able to respond quickly to something where I don’t have time to set up a forward staging area closer to the objective,” he said. AFSOC wants to improve the platform’s reliability, maintainability, speed, range and lift, he noted. “Reliability is in the near term,” he said. “As we achieve our goals for reliability, the performance upgrades would follow over the course of the next few years.” Anderson was mum on details, but said AFSOC was investigating modifications to the platform’s engine, as well as its aerodynamic thrust. The command is currently in the process of upgrading the CV-22’s radar system, Raytheon’s APQ-186, with the company’s APQ-187 which is known as Silent Knight. The radar will include new, modern electronics that replace obsolete components that are difficult to acquire, he said. “During cruise when I’m ingressing or egressing, the approved radar will allow me to do some things that I can’t do today,” he said. In the science and technology community, work is being done to develop radar systems that can be used during brownout or whiteout conditions, Anderson said. Some of these improvements include aircraft handling qualities such as in-flight controls and autopilot modes. Additionally, the command is researching how the aircraft can better relay information to pilots during such degraded conditions. “Some of those things involve synthetic vision or symbology … to improve the pilot’s awareness,” Anderson said. “Modern aircraft are generally very powerful computers that know a lot of things.” The challenge becomes how the aircraft and the pilot can better collaborate. AFSOC is also interested in adding new sensors to the aircraft, such as LiDAR and high frequency radar systems that can map the area immediately in front of an aircraft for better situational awareness, he said. “Those have been percolating in industry and science and technology circles for the last decade. … It’s kind of on our to-do list,” he said. However, the command needs systems compact enough that they would not substantially affect operations, he noted. “As we balance size, weight, power and performance with an aircraft where drag is a significant factor, we’re looking to … balance our sensor capabilities to be able to achieve that without degrading aircraft performance,” he said. Currently, CV-22s employ a single FLIR sensor ball. “I don’t really want to add a second sensor turret to add a second sensor,” he said. Both the Defense Department and industry have made strides in reducing the size of sensors and fitting them into one turret, he noted. “The goal is to get a single sensor turret that can do electro-optical and infrared and some sort of active, whether it be laser radar, millimeter wave … [or] another active sensor,” he said. Special Operations Command also is looking to equip the CV-22 with new weapons. The platform currently has a .50 caliber weapon on board. “We are very interested in pursuing solutions to do a better job of arming the aircraft without significant penalties to speed and range,” Anderson said. The command is currently looking at both guided and turreted weapons. Over the past several years, SOCOM has worked to employ a high-energy laser on an AC-130J Ghostrider gunship. The CV-22 program office is closely watching the effort, Anderson said. “We’re kind of waiting on high-energy weapons to get proven in an aviation environment before we look at this particular aircraft,” he said. SOCOM leadership “is really pushing hard for a powerful attack weapon on a dedicated strike platform … which is different than an assault lift platform where every pound that you put into arming the aircraft is a pound that you don’t have for the assault lift.” Developmentally, a laser that is small enough to compare to a .50 caliber weapon in terms of size, weight and power is a long way off, he said. “We’re still in a position where that is going to need to continue to mature,” he added. SOCOM’s program office for rotary wing aircraft is also working on preparing helicopters for much needed upgrades, said Army Col. David Phillips, the office’s program executive officer. “PEO rotary wing continues to focus on recapitalization, modernization and the future of Special Operations Forces vertical lift,” he said in an email to National Defense. The office’s assets include the light assault/attack A/MH-6M Little Bird, the medium assault MH-60M Black Hawk and the heavy assault MH-47G Chinook aircraft. For the Little Bird, a Block 3.0 upgrade is aimed at enhancing the platform’s structure, performance and safety margins while increasing situational awareness, Phillips said. Additionally, “main/tail rotor drive-train and engine control improvement efforts will reduce airframe loads and add safety and performance margins,” he said. There will also be avionics upgrades to replace obsolescent components. The first Block 3.0 aircraft will be delivered in 2019, he said. The Black Hawk modernization program is designed to modify the Army’s UH-60M aircraft for special operations usage, Phillips said. “The MH-60M helicopter provides an increased payload, increased reliability for the users and better situational awareness for aircrews,” he said. PEO rotary wing recently completed Block 1.0 integration, flight test qualification and inducted the first platform into a production line, Phillips said. Delivery of the first Block 1.0 aircraft is slated for fiscal year 2017. For Special Operations Command’s Chinook, the office is looking at two major efforts, Phillips said. First is a Block 2.3 upgrade that will procure, integrate and install crashworthy gunner’s seats, electrical improvement and payload restoration, he said. The next is known as the “renew” program. It “will replace the majority of our MH-47G legacy airframes with newly built machined airframes incorporating emerging technologies to maintain mission effectiveness,” he said. The first platforms to come out of the program are planned for delivery in fiscal year 2020. The command also plans to enhance aircraft survivability, avionics and navigation and sensor systems through two efforts: the degraded visual environment pilotage system and Silent Knight radar. “The DVEPS program will fuse information from aircraft sensors with terrain elevation data to display real-time reference points, obstacles and landing zone information to the aviator,” Phillips said. “The DVEPS solution will provide MH-47 and MH-60 aircrews with visual cues for obstacle avoidance and aircraft control during all phases of flight and significantly increase crew and passenger survivability.” Production is slated to start in fiscal year 2018. The Silent Knight radar program will enter full-rate production in fiscal year 2018 as well, he said. SOCOM is also preparing for new aircraft that will come down the line in the 2030s, Phillips said during a panel discussion at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank. The command is working alongside the Army and the Marine Corps to develop a new type of rotorcraft known as future vertical lift. FVL is an effort spearheaded by the Army — and influenced by some of the other services — to develop a revolutionary new aircraft that would replace thousands of aging platforms in the 2030s. The program is being preceded by what is known as the joint multi-role technology demonstrator, which will include demonstrations from a Boeing-Sikorsky team offering the SB-1 Defiant and Bell Helicopter offering the V-280 Valor. There is significant amount of alignment between the services when it comes to what capabilities they want out of the platform, said Col. Erskine Bentley, Army Training and Doctrine Command’s capability manager for future vertical lift. “We still have … a lot of work to do in that area but we’ve definitely identified the trade space that is there,” he said. While the Army, Marine Corps and SOCOM may have different requirements for the number of troops it would like the platform to carry, the services can swap out payload, he noted. “For instance, we could trade part of that payload that the Army uses for soldiers into fuel to increase the range that the Marine Corps needs or that SOCOM needs,” Bentley said. Col. John Barranco, with the Marine Corps’ rotorcraft requirements office, said: “Will there be compromise? Yeah, of course there will be. But that isn’t a bad thing.” The reality is that the United States military faces a fiscally constrained environment, he said. “Anyone who thinks that’s going to change radically for the better is probably fooling themselves. “We need shared technologies, we need shared systems, we need shared aviation supply and logistics,” he said. “That’s the reality. It’s not just a fiscal reality; it’s going to be a battlefield reality. We’re not going to be able to sustain, move [and] supply multiple, unique systems across the services like we’ve done in the past.” The services hope to avoid pitfalls that befell some embattled joint programs, like the F-35 joint strike fighter, the panel said. “This is a multiservice project versus joint,” he said. “We set up a joint program office for F-35. That was kind of an unheard of creation … it was not a construct that existed previously. … That’s not what we are doing here.” The Army is leading the FVL effort with participation from the Marine Corps and SOCOM, he noted. “We’re not creating something new from scratch,” he said. “This is structured differently than F-35.” Topics: Transport Aircraft

All flights to and from Jamaica have been canceled as of 10 a.m. local time after air traffic controllers walked off the job due the staffing issues. According to an official release from the Sangster International Airport, the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) informed officials at both major airports that air traffic controllers were going on strike due to staff shortages at the Kingston Air Traffic Control Centre (KATCC). As a result, all flights into and out of airports including Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay (MBJ) and Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston (KIN) have been canceled for the rest of the day (May 12th). Sangster International Airport (SIA), Jamaica’s leading gateway to the world operated by MBJ Airports Limited, has been informed by Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA) that due to limited staffing available to work at the Kingston Air Traffic Control Centre (KATCC), JCAA will be suspending air traffic services at 10:00am, today, May 12, 2022. This will impact all arrivals and departures at SIA as at 10am. Operations will resume once the situation is resolved. Even though officials at Norman Manley have not released a public statement yet, the flight boards show all remaining flight into and out of the airport as canceled. It is understood that the airspace was closed on Wednesday night, with walk out action expected to last until Friday morning. The strike action came about as a result of issues between the controllers and the Ministry of Finance allegedly not being able to negotiate salary increases. According to FlightRadar24 data, even though some flights were able to land safely this morning, two American Airlines flights (one from Charlotte and the other from New York) were forced to divert to Miami as a result of the closure. Officials are also telling travelers to reach out to their airline either at the airport or through other means to facilitate re-bookings. [Featured Photo: Brian Crawford/Flickr (CC BY 2.0)]

Widest part of blade is 11 1/2 inches. Weighs approximately 40 lbs. History of Burgress Company The business was incorporated in 1910 as the "Burgess Company and Curtis, Inc." (after W. Starling Burgess and Greely S. Curtis, its co-founders with Frank H. Russell). The company was an offshoot of the W. Starling Burgess Shipyard, of Marblehead, Massachusetts. Burgess was the first licensed aircraft manufacturer in the United States. On February 1, 1911, it received a license to build Wright aircraft from the Wright Brothers, who held several key aeronautical patents. Burgess was charged licensing fees of $1000 per aircraft and $100 per exhibition flight. In 1912 Burgess fitted some of its Wright Model F airplanes with pontoons, contrary to the Wright Company's licensing provisions, which permitted only exact copies of their designs. The license agreement was terminated by mutual consent in January 1914. In the same month, January 1914, the organization became the Burgess Company, a name change to avoid confusion with the Curtiss Aeroplane and Engine Company. Greely S. Curtis continued as Treasurer and its major shareholder. Burgess designed and flight tested most of the aircraft that were manufactured at the two plant sites in Marblehead. Curtis was the company's financial and engineering adviser and Russell, formerly the manager of the Wright Company's Dayton factory, managed their production operations. The Burgess Company was acquired on February 10, 1914 by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company. The Burgess Company then operated as a manufacturing subsidiary producing Curtiss's naval training aircraft in late 1916 and continued to produce these aircraft under the Burgess name during World War I until its main production facility was totally destroyed by fire on November 8, 1918. The company provided seaplanes and other aircraft to the military. The first tractor configuration airplane purchased by the U.S. Army was a Burgess H (S.C. No. 9) in August 1912. In September 1913, a Burgess Model F seaplane based on a modified Wright Model B design with pontoons, was delivered to the Signal Corps for use in the Philippines to maintain a flying school. The same aircraft (S.C. No. 17) in December 1914 was the first in the Army to demonstrate two-way air-to-ground radio communications. The company manufactured a number of models for the U.S. military, including an extensive production run of the Curtiss N-9 under contract for its parent company in 1916, building 681 for the Navy. off a Piper Cub J4A Coupe with a 65HP Continental Engine Also used on the J3C-65 Piper Cub Original Patina and Decals Perfect size propeller for most any space....

In a nutshell A spacecraft has to visit as many Near Earth Asteroids as possible by performing fast consecutive fly-bys to finally randezvous with a NEA. The objective function is the number of asteroid visited. Secondary performance indices, to break ties, are the final spacecraft mass and total time of flight. - List of registered teams - Problem statement - Problem data - Requested output file format - Final rankings - Summary of the results - Original Web site (from the web archives) - Announecment on ESA portal - Group Picture Led by Ilia S. Grigoriev, this edition was won by the team from Moscow State University with a trajectory visiting 44 asteroids in less than ten years. Scientists would not agree, before this edition of GTOC, on how many asteroids could be encountered during a low-thrust interplanetary mission. The number 44 (in 10 years) appeared to scientific community as a positive surprise. The second ranked trajectory, from the Aerospace Corporation, also visited 44 asteroid but had its secondary objective (mass) lower.

Search-and-rescue boost for the UAE The UAE’s National Search & Rescue Centre (NSRC) will integrate QinetiQ’s BRACERTM tactical satellite communications system into its fleet of search-and-rescue (SAR) helicopters, as well as equipping its medical and rescue personnel. Following an extensive trial and test integration period throughout 2022, BRACERTM will provide NSRC with global beyond-line-of-site (BLOS) communications and asset tracking to improve overall situational awareness and help coordinate SAR missions in some of its most challenging theatres of operation – often where traditional radio communications cannot always be relied upon due to distance, geography, or weather conditions. Dr Stephen Toumajan, general manager, NSRC said: “The BRACERTM satellite communication and tracking capability is a game-changer for SAR operations. It allows us the ability to talk to and track our crews anywhere in our area of operations.” Tim Williams, senior sales manager, QinetiQ added: “NSRC operates in challenging air, maritime and land environments and embraces the need to use best-of-breed technology to deliver its life-saving service. As a responsive, reliable, simple and secure system, BRACERTM increases reactiveness, enhances situational awareness and enables the passage of information where it’s previously been impossible or difficult.” Stay up to date Subscribe to the free Times Aerospace newsletter and receive the latest content every week.

Other Flying Objects... Date: Fri, 4 Jun 93 00:24:41 PDT Subject: Other Flying Objects... From: Claude Ginsburg <firstname.lastname@example.org> [In response to the article from The Weekly World News ("Flying Swami Sucked Into Jet Engine!") I found this tidbit of corporate lore at Boeing. -claude] Boeing has a chicken gun to shoot freshly killed chickens at engine intakes and airplane windscreens. It is a compressed air gadget in one of the bunkers on the east edge of Boeing Field (or was many years ago when I saw it) -- capable of blatting a chicken out at about 500 knots. The windscreen tests are indoors but the engine tests necessarily involve sticking the business end of the engine outside --- I have often pondered the result as viewed from an airplane on the adjoining taxiway.

Watch VideoPlay Video The current number of flights between the Chinese Mainland and Taiwan are far from meeting growing passenger demand. This has created opportunities for the aviation industry on both sides of the Strait. In 2009, 930 thousand people visited Taiwan from the mainland. That number has now grown robustly. In the first five months of this year, around 530 thousand Chinese tourists crossed the Strait, an increase of 90 percent over the same period last year. Li Jiaxiang, Director-General of Civil Aviation Administration of China said "The number of cross-Strait visitors is expected to hit 6 million. 4 million of those will choose to travel by air. This provides a tremendous opportunity for cooperation between aviation industries on both sides." China's Civil Aviation Administration recently announced various measures to boost access across the Taiwan Strait. Aviation industry authorities and teaching institutions have responded positively. Many schools have launched cooperative training programmes. Wu Tongshui, Dean of Civil Aviation University of China said "We have just signed an agreement with Taiwan's China University of Science and Technology. The agreement will allow us to work together in training pilots and instructors." In Taiwan, aviation students have often found it difficult to get an industry job after graduation. With the recent boom in cross-Strait air travel and a number of collaborative training programmes in the works, the industry is looking a whole lot brighter.

The Dragon Spacecraft named Endeavour returned to Earth on Monday, November the 8th with a nighttime splash down off the Florida coast at 10:33 p.m. EST. The Crew-2 astronauts onboard Endeavour launched on April 23, 2021. NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet spent over six months on the International Space Station. On Wednesday, November 10 at 9:03 p.m. EST, a Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled to launch a new SpaceX Crew Dragon named Endurance on its first flight. Endurance will be the third Crew Dragon vehicle to carry astronauts to orbit. The other two vehicles that have flown are Resilience and Endeavour. This flight will mark the third crew rotation mission with astronauts on the SpaceX Crew Dragon Spacecraft and the fourth flight to the International Space Station with astronauts since the Crew Demo-2 mission in May 2020. If all goes to plan, Endurance will dock with the I.S.S. at about 7:10 p.m. EST on Thursday, November 11th. The Crew-3 flight consists of NASA astronauts Raja Chari, mission commander; Tom Marshburn, pilot; and Kayla Barron, mission specialist; as well as ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer, who will serve as a mission specialist. During their stay, the crew will work on more than 200 different research investigations. Part of their research will involve work on a protein crystal growth experiment from the National Cancer Institute. In an experiment called Uniform Protein Crystal Growth (UPCG), tiny crystals of RNA (ribonucleic acid) will be grown in microgravity and then examined using a powerful light source to look at their 3-dimensional shape. Crew-3 will spend six months on the Space Station, returning to Earth onboard Endurance in late April 2022.

The International Space Station (ISS) requires a lot of resupply to keep the astronauts well fed and occupied. During the years that the Space Shuttle was available this wasn’t a problem as the US and Russia shared the resupply effort. But with the demise of the Space Shuttle the US had to solely rely on the Russian resupply missions to get both supplies and astronauts to and from the ISS. We’ve seen a lot of hype around the fortunes of SpaceX with their Falcon 9 rocket and the success it has had in the last couple of years. SpaceX and the Dragon spacecraft have helped fill the gap in resupply to the ISS. They haven’t been the only player though, as Orbital ATK and their Antares Rocket have launched a number of mission to the ISS with the Cygnus spacecraft and so far 9 have been launched. Orbital ATK build a lot of spacecraft including the recent TESS that will be used to look for exoplanets. The Cygnus spacecraft has a distinctive shape with the two large round solar panels on one end of the long tube. The role of the this spacecraft in delivering cargo to the international space station was born from a contract from NASA under the Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) program which was awarded on December 23, 2008. The spacecraft has been built in two variants with the later called the enhanced version, which is a bit longer and can carry more payload. The first three spacecraft were the standard variety and all subsequent missions have been with the enhanced model. It’s worth noting that the third launch failed and exploded shortly after launch, this has been the only failure of the Cygnus spacecraft. Cygnus was designed from existing basic spacecraft design already employed for satellites, so presented a reasonably low risk option. It consists of a Service Module and a Pressurised Cargo Module (PCM). The Service Module includes the avionics, propulsion and power systems and is based on Orbital ATK’s spacecraft buses that they have used on satellites in LEO and GEO orbits. The Service Module is built in Virginia, USA, and the Pressurised Cargo Module is built in Turin, Italy by Thales Alenia Space. The dimensions of the spacecraft are 3.66m in length in 3.07m in diameter. The cargo carrying capacity of the spacecraft is 1800 kg, which is 300 kg more than the standard configuration, though the last three spacecraft flights have all managed to pack in more than 3300 kg of cargo. Unlike the Russian Progress and ESA ATV spacecraft the Cygnus spacecraft docks via the mechanic arm of the ISS called the Canadarm2. Thanks to the success of its missions (with the exception of the third one) Orbital ATK was selected by NASA to continue cargo deliveries under their Commercial Resupply Services contract which commences in 2019 and continues through to 2024. The most recent launch was on May 21 this year which was launched on an Orbital ATK Antares rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility. Basically the rocket gets the spacecraft into orbit then the spacecraft boosts itself to the ISS orbit. The robotic arm on the space station guides the Cygnus spacecraft to the birthing port on the stations Unity module. On this flight the spacecraft will also launch a couple of cubesats when it has been loaded and ready to depart the station. The rocket used to launch the spacecraft is the Antares 230. This is a two stage rocket 42.5 m in height and 3.9 m in diameter and weighs around 300,000 kg. The rocket is a collaboration between Orbital ATK and Yuzhnoye of Ukraine and has been successful in making the Cygnus a reliable supplier to the ISS. It will be interesting to see how it can compete longer term with SpaceX and their ability to reuse the Falcon9 rockets, whereas the Antares 230 is completely disposable. The Atlas V has also been used to get the Cygnus into space.

FACT CHECK: No, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Did Not Find Image Of ‘Heaven’ A video shared on Instagram allegedly shows an image of “heaven” discovered by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. View this post on Instagram The photo is artwork, not genuine, a NASA spokesperson told Check Your Fact in an email. NASA has recently discovered a growing number of dark patches on the sun known as sunspots, which could pose a risk for strong solar flares, according to Fox News. Solar flares are large bursts of energy on the sun’s surface that can affect radio communications, electric power grids and navigation signals, the outlet reported. An Instagram video claims to show an image of heaven taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The video opens with a woman introducing the claim before the alleged images are shown on screen, narrated by a man. “NASA found heaven (footage leaked),” the video’s text reads. The man speaking in the video claims that the image was taken by NASA in 1990 and hidden until discovered in 1994. The image appears to show a glowing yellow civilization in the middle of space. NASA took no such image, however. “The image you’re referencing is artwork and is not a real Hubble image,” a NASA spokesperson told Check Your Fact via email. “NASA has extensive image and video databases. Any official NASA news or imagery will be shared via an official agency communications channel.” The spokesperson also referred Check Your Fact to NASA’s image database. (RELATED: Video Claims NASA Faked Footage From International Space Station) The photo dates back to at least 2009, when it was posted to a site called Weekly World News. The site claims the image was taken on February 8, 1994, saying, “Just days after space shuttle astronauts repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in mid December, the giant lens focused on a star cluster at the edge of the universe – and photographed heaven!” USA Today referred to this site as “a beacon of shining fake news” in 2016.

The aerospace industry has unique requirements for quality management, which is why many companies that deliver products and services within the aviation, space and defense spheres work to earn AS9100 certification. This standard sets quality management system requirements with the challenges of the aerospace industry in mind. At NQA, we perform certification audits for AS9100 and related standards. Learn more about what AS9100 certification is and who it can benefit below. What Is EN9100:2018/AS9100D? EN9100:2018 — also called AS9100D or AS9100 — is the most recent standard for organizations that design, develop or provide aviation, space and defense products and services, including parts, components and assemblies. The standard was prepared by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) with the help of representatives from aviation, space and defense companies in the Americas, Asia/Pacific and Europe. Like past versions of AS9100, EN9100:2018 standardizes quality management system requirements for companies involved with the aerospace industry and supply chain. The standard does so by building off general ISO 9001 standards for quality management systems, adding industry-specific guidelines for the safe development, production and distribution of quality aerospace parts and products. AS9100 certification can be achieved by all levels of the supply chain by organizations around the world to improve quality, cost and delivery performance. This is accomplished through the reduction or elimination of organization-unique requirements, effective implementation of the quality management system and wider application of good business practices. In addition to AS9100, which is a general aerospace industry standard, the IAQG has also created two more specific aerospace management standards: AS9110 and AS9120. The former, Aerospace Management Systems for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Stations, adds additional requirements to AS9100 relating to the maintenance of commercial, private and military aircraft. The latter, Aerospace Management Systems for Stockist Distributors, adds requirements for the sourcing and production of aerospace components and materials. NQA can assess compliance with AS9100, AS9110 and AS9120. Because AS9100 certification helps ensure an organization has adequate quality management systems in place, many aerospace manufacturers and suppliers will work only with certified partners. As a result, AS9100 certification is important for any aerospace-related company to consider. Who Does This Standard Apply To? Because AS9100 is an industry-specific quality management system standard, it's mainly used by companies that provide products and services for the defense, space and aviation industries. The AS9100D standard applies to any organization that works in the aerospace industry or with partners in the aerospace industry, including: - Manufacturers of aircraft components and materials - Designers of aerospace parts and assemblies - Quality management organizations working with aerospace manufacturers - Other companies working in the aerospace industry regularly or irregularly Though not required by law, AS9100 certification is often required for effective participation in the aviation, space and defense businesses. Certification to AS9100 standards can give you access to large OEMs and other parts of the supply chain. Helps you with - Global recognition - Access to large OEM's - Proving business credentials - Process effectiveness - Customer satisfaction - Product improvement - Supply chain access - Entry onto the IAQG Online Aerospace Supplier Information System (OASIS database) Benefits of Aerospace Certification Global recognition as a reputable supplier Certification is recognized internationally and accepted throughout industry supply chains, setting industry benchmarks for sourcing suppliers. Access to large OEM’s All companies registered to an Aerospace standard are listed in the OASIS database. Improved stakeholder relationships Improve the perception of your organization with staff, customers and suppliers. Deliver products that consistently meet customer requirements and a service that is dependable and can be relied on. Ability to win more business Procurement specifications often require certification as a condition to supply, so certification opens doors. Reduced operating costs Continual improvement of processes and resulting operational efficiencies mean money saved. Proven business credentials Independent verification against a globally recognized industry standard speaks volumes. Is AS9100 Certification Right for My Organization? While primarily developed for the aviation, space and defense industry, this standard can also be used in other industry sectors when a quality management system with additional requirements over an ISO 9001:2015 system is needed. EN9100:2018 includes all ISO 9001:2015 quality management system requirements along with additional aviation, space, and defense industry requirements and definitions. All of the AS9100 series of standards underwent significant change in late 2016. Though a number of those changes were necessitated by a change in the base standard, ISO 9001:2015, many of the aviation, space and defense industry requirements were also modified and enhanced. Following the structure of ISO 9001:2015, EN9100:2018 includes requirements specific to: - Context of the organization - Performance Evaluation Though earning AS9100 certification does take work, the effort is worth it for many businesses. You may want to consider implementing systems outlined in the AS9100 standard if you: - Want to expand your ability to do business in the aerospace sector - Hope to improve your quality management systems and lower risk - Are already certified to ISO 9001 standard Because AS9100 and related standards are built around ISO 9001, implementing the systems needed to meet AS9100 requirements may be faster and simpler for businesses that already adhere to ISO 9001's basic rules for quality management. If you do choose to pursue certification, you can feel confident that your decision is a step in the right direction for your aerospace company. A starting point to AS9100D certification would be to obtain a copy of the AS9100D standard and the supporting standard AS9101 (Quality Management Systems - Requirements for Aviation, Space, and Defense Organizations) from SAE. These standards provide the detailed requirements that your management system must comply with. After reviewing the standards, you'll also need to select a certification body. As an accredited certification body, NQA can help you understand the requirements of the AS9100 certification process and perform rigorous, improvement-focused auditing. To get started with NQA, fill out our online contact form today. What's New With AS9100? Within these sections of the EN9100:2018 standard, new requirements above and beyond those specified in the previous revision AS9100C address: Risk Based Thinking - The concept of risk has always been implicit in ISO 9001 but EN9100:2018 makes it more explicit and builds it into the whole management system. It ensures that risk is considered from the beginning and throughout and makes “prevention” part of strategic and operational planning. Clause 6.1 - Is related to risks in the quality management system such as new customers, new market, company partnerships, business localizations etc. Unlike clause 6.1, operational risk in 8.1.1 is applicable to the risks within the operational processes needed for the provision of products and services such as contract review and signature, new technologies introduction, external providers selection etc. Concept of Change - Provides a framework which evolves to enable organizations to adapt to their changing environments or circumstances. The benefits of a robust process to control change is that business continuity is maintained and potential consequences of change are appropriately considered. Organizational Knowledge - Knowledge specific to the organization is gained by experience and conveyed through lessons, identification of experts and the implementation of succession planning. AS9100:2016 can help you safeguard the organization from loss of knowledge, (e.g., through staff turnover; failure to capture and share information) and encourages your organization to acquire (e.g., learning from experience, benchmarking) and share knowledge (e.g. mentoring of newcomers). Product Safety - Including requirements to address product safety considerations throughout the product lifecycle. Counterfeit Parts Prevention - Provides requirements to mitigate the effects of the growing threat of counterfeit / fraudulent product while recognizing the emerging counterfeit/fraudulent statutory/regulatory requirements on AQMS processes. Awareness - EN9100:2018 now requires employees to be aware of their contribution to product or service conformity, to product safety and the importance of ethical behaviour. Human Factors - Requires the consideration of human factors in the root cause analysis for nonconformities. To do that you must understand the interactions between people, machines and each other and their impact on human performance. Human factors could include physical fitness, physiological characteristics, personality, stress and fatigue to name just a few. Obsolescence - In the planning and design processes, you must consider the consequences of product obsolescence. Steps to Certification Complete a Quote Request Form so that we can understand your company and requirements. You can do this by completing either the online quick quote or the online formal quote request form. We will use this information to accurately define your scope of assessment and provide you with a proposal for certification. Once you’ve agreed your proposal, we will contact you to book your assessment with an NQA Assessor. This assessment consists of two mandatory visits that form the Initial Certification Audit. Please note that you must be able to demonstrate that your management system has been fully operational for a minimum of three months and has been subject to a management review and full cycle of internal audits. Following a successful two stage audit, a certification decision is made and if positive, then certification to the required standard is issued by NQA. You will receive both a hard and soft copy of the certificate. Certification is valid for three years and is maintained through a programme of annual surveillance audits and a three yearly recertification audit.

|Features||Flight, front cannon| |Page||List of all Vehicles| HoverCat is a vehicle that was created by the ThunderCats much later after their arrival on Third Earth. Built by the master mechanic Panthro, the ThunderClaw was one of the first ThunderCats vehicles capable of flight. It was of great use when the ThunderCats set out to rescue the New ThunderCats Bengali, Pumyra, and Lynx-O whose existence they had just learned about. Features[edit | edit source] The HoverCat has a giant turbo powered engine at its base which allows it to fly. It seats one person and the adjustable wing flaps and small size make it very maneuverable and easy to fly through hard to reach areas. Tygra and Lion-O both have been shown driving it.

Orbcomm Satellite Falls Out of Orbit, Offers Enough Data Despite SpaceX Mishap October 15, 2012 2:43 PM Orbcomm said it will be filing an insurance claim of $10 million to cover the prototype satellite as well as the cost of the launch and insurance policy Orbcomm's prototype second-generation satellite, OG2, has fallen out of orbit after SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket failed to launch it into the correct trajectory. Orbcomm, a satellite messaging service provider, had sent its OG2 prototype into space aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket during the Oct. 7 launch to the International Space Station (ISS). The main mission was to send the Dragon capsule to the ISS for supplies, but NASA and SpaceX agreed to let Orbcomm send a satellite high into orbit on the Falcon 9 as a secondary part of the mission. However, a small mishap occurred during the Oct. 7 flight: one of the nine Merlin first-stage engines on Falcon 9 shut down. The Falcon 9 was still able to lift the Dragon to the ISS successfully on Oct. 10, but it was unable to launch the OG2 prototype far enough into orbit to collect an optimal amount of data. It wandered for four days before falling out of orbit. However, Orbcomm said that wandering satellite gathered enough data in the nearly four-day period to proceed with the full constellation launch next year. The constellation launch consists of sending 18 second-generation satellites into orbit aboard two Falcon 9 rockets. Orbcomm said it will be filing an insurance claim of $10 million to cover the prototype satellite as well as the cost of the launch and insurance policy. If the insurance underwriters accept this, Orbcomm will not need to launch another prototype. Rather, it would be able to launch all 18 satellites starting next year thanks to the amount of data collected during the recent launch. SpaceX added that Orbcomm knew that there was a chance that OG2 wouldn't make it into the correct orbit beforehand. "It is important to appreciate that Orbcomm understoof from the beginning that the orbit-raising maneuver was tentative," said Katherine Nelson, SpaceX spokeswoman. "They accepted that there was a high risk of their satellite remaining at the Dragon insertion orbit. SpaceX would not have agreed to fly their satellite otherwise, since this was not part of the core mission and there was a known, material risk of no altitude raise." SpaceX's Dragon is currently at the ISS unloading 882 pounds of cargo, and will bring twice that amount of cargo back to Earth near the end of October.

In the last decades the research on composite materials have been acquiring importance due to the possibility of increasing the material mechanical performances while contemporary decreasing both mass and volume of the structures. Composites are widely used in space vehicles and systems as structural materials, thermal blankets, thermal control and conformal coatings, adhesives, lubricants, etc. Exposure of composites to the space environment may result in different detrimental effects via modification of their chemical, electrical, thermal, optical and mechanical properties as well as surface erosion. The major degradation effects in composites are due to the exposure to atomic oxygen, vacuum ultraviolet, thermal cycling and combined effects during orbit period and plasma during re-entry phase. Among all, carbon-based ceramic composites are the most promising materials for space applications, due to their impressive thermal stability and lightweight. Carbon-Carbon (C/C) composites have already shown their extraordinary features in terms of high stability and excellent mechanical properties, almost unchanged at high temperatures. C/C is used also in engine applications such as nozzle throat section for launchers. The main feature for this application is the high resistance at high temperatures. In these applications high thickness composites are required, but one of the main criticalities is the uniformity of material and its final characteristics. Up to now, there's no standard for the manufacturing of high thickness C/C structures. In this paper a manufacturing method based on the chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) process is described, following each phase of the process from the preform preparation to the infiltration, and providing a detailedanalysis of the material densification. Densification of High Thickness C/C Composites by Chemical Vapor Infiltration / Albano, Marta; Pastore, Roberto; Delfini, Andrea; Micheli, Davide; Volpini, Fabrizio; Marchetti, Mario. - In: PROCEDIA ENGINEERING. - ISSN 1877-7058. - STAMPA. - 109:(2015), pp. 381-389.

As Iranian Shahed 136 drones have made their debut on the battlefield in Ukraine, Russia appears set to field a very large fleet of Iranian unmanned aircraft with at least four military cargo flights from the country reportedly flying deliveries from September 12–18 alone. These included three flights from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Crops owned Pouya Air airline’s Il-76 aircraft and a fourth by a freight Boeing-747 by the Army-owned Saha Airline. The Shahed 136 is a relatively small ‘suicide drone’ – a hybrid between an aircraft and a missile which strikes targets with its own explosive-laden body at high speed rather than launching munitions from its airframe – and due to its small size could potentially be carried in batches of over 100 by each cargo plane. The Wall Street Journal was among several sources to report “serious damage” from drone strikes citing reports from Ukrainian officers, with experts cited by the paper stressing that its impact was a game changer much as the HIMARS rocket artillery system supplied by the United States to Ukrainian forces had been. It remains uncertain what capacity Iran has to produce more Shahed 136 drones, how quickly the Russian Military can integrate them, or whether deliveries have come from Iran’s own military stocks. Drones have been a notable strength of Iran’s defence sector with multiple designs having been extensively tested in combat against targets in Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Israel. It is expected that Russia will soon begin to receive higher end drone classes, possibly including the Shahed 191 or other flying wing stealth designs, which could provide a highly effective means of evading Ukrainian air defences and striking key targets. Although the Soviet Union began work on its first stealth fighters in the late 1970s, and was set to begin production in the mid 1990s, post-Soviet Russia failed to continue this momentum leaving it without stealth aircraft in its inventory other than a half strength unit of six Su-57 fighters which are still not fully operational. Progress in Russian drone programs has been similarly poor, leaving it far behind industry leaders such as Iran, China and the United States. Russian forces have fought with support from Iranian drones in the past in Syria where the two, alongside forces from North Korea and the Lebanese militia Hezbollah, contributed to backing Syrian counterinsurgency efforts and formed joint command networks.

NASA Orders a New Solar-Powered Ion Engine to Explore Deep Space and Go to Mars Electric propulsion engines could take us a lot further than rocket fuel can. We already know electric engines are the future of automobiles, and NASA thinks they’re the future of spaceflight as well. Today, NASA awarded a contract to Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc. to design a new Advanced Electric Propulsion System, mainly for use on robotic deep space ships like those used in its Asteroid Redirect Mission. Electric propulsion tech has been around for more than fifty years, and it’s already widely used on long distance deep space expeditions like the Dawn mission, which is surveying the giant asteroid Vesta (last seen 156 million miles from Earth) and the protoplanet Ceres between 2011 and 2015. Unlike electric engines in cars, electric propulsion systems still use a fuel-based propellant, they’re just way more efficient than traditional engines. An electric ion engine takes a fuel source (usually xenon or another argon gas) and ionizes it (takes off an electron), then shoots that ion out of the back of the spacecraft (and spraying out some electrons so the whole thing stays electrically neutral). It uses on-board solar panels to energize and ionize the fuel. They’re way more efficient than burning conventional fuel, which makes them perfect for long-range missions. They don’t, however, generate a tremendous amount of thrust, which means they can’t be used for taking off directly from a planet (sorry, Star Wars), but they can push big heavy stuff through space for a long, long time on not a lot of fuel. NASA hopes that Aerojet’s new engine will increase fuel efficiency to more than 10 times the current rate of conventional chemical fuel (just burnin’ stuff and shooting it out the back, no funny ion business), and double the thrust capability compared to current electric systems (which means faster trips). The new engine’s meant for a pretty crazy purpose too — one of its first tests may be on NASA’s Asteroid Redirect Mission, where it will attempt to capture an asteroid, push it all the way to the moon, and put it in orbit. To sum up, NASA wants to use solar-powered ion engines to steal an asteroid and put it near the moon, giving our moon a moon of its own. Science, man, whoo-wee. We’ll know more on Thursday, when NASA is holding a press conference call to talk about the new engine project. The AEPS contract lasts for 36 months, and is valued at around $67 million, in which Aerojet will design, construct, and test the engine.

Alaska Airlines spends $990 million on 10 Boeing jets by Ben Geier @FortuneMagazine October 6, 2014, 12:34 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Ten new Boeing jets are heading to the Land of the Midnight Sun. Alaska Airlines ALK is purchasing 10 Boeing Next-Generation 737-900ER planes. This adds to the airlines fleet, which is currently made up entirely of Boeing planes. The list price for the deal is $990 million. This new order brings the total number of Boeing jets on order from Alaska Airlines to 74. This deal is another sign that Boeing is continuing to dominate the commercial aviation business. Numbers released earlier today show that the company is still beating its European rival Airbus. Boeing BA reported net orders of 1,000 for the first nine months of 2014, according to Reuters, while Airbus is at just 791. Net orders include cancelled orders and model conversions. The aerospace company will release its earnings for the third quarter on Oct. 22 — the numbers seem to indicate they’ll have another good quarter, following a report from the second quarter that saw soaring profits.

Indian Air Force (IAF) has been delivered four Chinook helicopters by aerospace major Boeing, Press Trust Of India has reported. Boeing confirmed that the helicopters were received at the Mundra port in Gujarat following which they would be sent to Chandigarh. They would be formally inducted in the IAF by the end of this year. These helicopters would be critical in transporting troops, artillery, equipment and can also be instrumental in disaster relief missions. As per a statement by Boeing, these helicopters would provide Indian Armed Forces with unmatched strategic airlift capability during combat and humanitarian missions. A total of 15 Chinook helicopters and 22 Apache helicopters were ordered by the IAF in September 2015. The deal is said to be worth around $3 billion. This mega defence deal also has a Make-In-India touch to it as Boeing has included 160 Indian firms in its supply chain including a joint venture for manufacturing Apache’s fuselage. Though the helicopters will be delivered to India in a fly-away condition, some parts of these heavy-weight machines will be built by companies based out of India. A Bengaluru-based company, Dynamatics Technologies Limited, is one of the partner companies that will build certain components of the helicopters, along with the cargo ramp, in India. Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed. Do freebies still sway voters?

The pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit "has called another strike for tomorrow on short- and medium-haul flights. That is the third strike in three days," Lufthansa said in a statement. "As a result, we will cancel 50 percent of all 1,400 flights scheduled for tomorrow, affecting 84,000 passengers." In addition, a strike by air traffic controllers in Italy – completely separate from the pilots' strike — would result in the cancellation of a further 90 flights affecting 10,000 passengers, the statement said. Lufthansa said its long-haul services would not be affected and would take off as scheduled. "All flights by Germanwings, Eurowings and Air Dolomiti, as well as Swiss, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines will go ahead as planned," the carrier said. "Despite the strike, around 75 percent of a total 3,000 daily flights will go ahead," it said. The pilots' union Cockpit had initially called for 24-hour walkout on Wednesday, but subsequently extended the industrial action, first to Thursday and then to Friday. On Wednesday, the stoppages had targeted short- and medium-haul services. But long-haul flights were grounded on Thursday. And Cockpit said it would target short- and medium haul flights again on Friday. On Wednesday, some 750 flights had been grounded affecting 80,000 passengers. On Thursday, 84 long-haul flights out of a total 153 taking off from Germany were hit, grounding 18,000 passengers. Cockpit has staged more than a dozen sets of strike action since last April over management plans to change the pilots' early retirement arrangements. The dispute hinges on plans by Lufthansa to scrap an arrangement under which pilots can retire at 55 and receive up to 60 percent of their pay until they reach the statutory retirement age of 65. Pilots are also concerned about Lufthansa's aim to further develop its low-cost activities as it faces growing competition. SEE ALSO: Pilots' strike grounds 750 Lufthansa flights

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida: NASA early on Thursday showed off its first asteroid samples delivered last month by a spacecraft — a jumble of black dust and rubble that’s the most ever returned to Earth. Scientists anticipated getting a cupful but are still unsure how much was grabbed from the carbon-rich asteroid named Bennu, almost 97 million km away. That’s because the main sample chamber has yet to be opened, officials said during an event at Johnson Space Center in Houston. “It’s been going slow and meticulous, but the science is already starting,” said the mission’s lead scientist, Dante Lauretta of the University of Arizona. NASA’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft collected the samples three years ago from the surface of Bennu and then dropped them off sealed in a capsule during a flyby of Earth last month. The expected cupful was far more than the teaspoon or so that Japan brought back from a pair of missions. Black dust and particles were scattered around the outside edge of the internal sample chamber, according to Lauretta. He said there’s still “a whole treasure chest of extraterrestrial material” to be studied. The samples are priceless, the preserved building blocks from the dawn of the solar system. No one at Wednesday’s celebration at Johnson got to see any of the samples firsthand — just photos and video. The asteroid pieces were behind locked doors in a new lab at the space center, accessible only to scientists in protective gear. Besides carbon, the asteroid rubble holds water in the form of water-bearing clay minerals, Lauretta and others pointed out. “That is how we think water got to the Earth,” he said. “Minerals like we’re seeing from Bennu landed on Earth 4 billion years ago to 4.5 billion years ago, making our world habitable.” That was one of the primary reasons for the $1 billion, seven-year mission: to help learn how the solar system — and Earth in particular — formed. “You can’t get more exciting than that,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. Back in 2020, Lauretta and his team lost some of their haul when the lid on the sample container jammed a few days after the spacecraft collected the material. It vacuumed up so many pieces from Bennu that small rocks got lodged under the lid and prevented it from closing, sending pieces floating off into space. That’s why scientists did not have a precise measurement of what was coming back; they estimated 250 grams, or about a cupful, ahead of the Sept. 24 landing in the Utah desert. They won’t have a good count until the container is opened, within two weeks or so. Much of the material shown was overflow from when the lid was stuck open, before everything could be sealed inside the return capsule. The larger visible rocks were under an inch in size. “We have a bounty of sample on our hands already and we’re not even inside” the main sample container, said NASA astromaterials curator Francis McCubbin. Once the samples are archived, the team will dole out particles to researchers around the world, while saving a fair amount for future analysis when better technology should be available. NASA has another asteroid-chasing spacecraft on a Florida launch pad, ready to blast off later this week. The destination will be a rare asteroid made of metal named Psyche. No samples will be coming back.

LATEST FEATURED IMAGE FROM ASTER: Los Angeles - Long Beach Harbors, CA In southern California, the combined ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach account for 33% of the nation’s containerized imports. In early March, a long-lasting labor dispute between the longshoremen’s union and shipowners came to an end, and the large backlog of waiting cargo ships was being slowly unloaded. Updated on 3/16/2015 The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) is an imaging instrument onboard Terra, the flagship satellite of NASA's Earth Observing System (EOS) launched in December 1999. ASTER is a cooperative effort between NASA, Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and Japan Space Systems (J-spacesystems). ASTER data is used to create detailed maps of land surface temperature, reflectance, and elevation. The coordinated system of EOS satellites, including Terra, is a major component of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and the Earth Science Division. The goal of NASA Earth Science is to develop a scientific understanding of the Earth as an integrated system, its response to change, and to better predict variability and trends in climate, weather, and natural hazards.

Considering incorporating drones into your agriculture, surveying or mapping business but not ready to commit to the huge expense? Delair, which primarily offers end-to-end, drone-based solutions that do everything from collect data via drone to turn it into insights via its Delair Aerial Intelligence software platform, is now offering a drone rental program called Delair Takeoff. For a fixed monthly fee, you can have access to its Delair UX11 family of UAVs, which includes unlimited use of the long-range, fully equipped drone. The Delair UX11 is designed for precision mapping, built with an embedded global shutter camera, centimeter-level precision GNSS sensor, post processed kinematic (PPK) capabilities for survey-grade results, and both 2.4 GhZ wireless and 3G/4G cellular connectivity to operate anywhere. The drone can fly for up to 59 minutes, covering over 300 acres at 400 feet. Its sister drone, the Delair UX11 Ag model, provides multispectral data with PPK positioning which enables precise georeferencing for repeatable analysis of individual plants, which is beneficial for seed breeding, precision agriculture, or range management. Delair’s offering is not your neighbor’s drone rental service (though those exist for prosumer drones like the DJI Mavic, and they’re great, too!). This high-end drone rental service requires a six-month minimum contract. Pricing for Delair Takeoff starts at €1250/month. But the drone on its own starts at about €13,000 (or $13,995). And what happens if you crash it? Delair Takeoff provides a 48-hour drone replacement guarantee in case of an accident, with limited out-of-pocket cost in case of user error or accidental damages. The program is currently only available to customers in Europe, but Delair hinted that it could expand to the U.S. in the future. Renters will also have access to delair.ai, a cloud-based platform for analyzing their aerial data, including advanced analytics like verified stockpiles, haul roads, lidar classification and much more. Delair has been a big player in the drone industry, having acquired the now defunct Airware, and having received investments from Intel. The company has about 200 employees around the world. Delair this month announced a partnership with DJI, where it would sell DJI products in addition to its own fleet of drones. But to not cannibalize its own free with DJI drones, it also announced it would launch a relationship to build DJI compatibility across its own drones.

If you’ve ever wanted to drive to the moon, there are some simple steps you can take to make the trip happen. To begin, plan your trip by starting a couple days before the moon’s perigee. The next perigee is October 4th, so you should set out early on that date. To reach the moon at 11:23 pm, you should leave at 4:20am on the 7th of June. Does it take 3 years to get to the moon? To get to the Moon from Earth, you would drive approximately 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers). However, this distance varies depending on the path that you choose. Therefore, there are several factors that affect the time that it will take to reach the Moon. First, it is impossible to travel in zero atmosphere in a car. However, it is possible to travel in an enclosed highway. For a manned mission, the speed would be about 60 mph. In this case, it would take around three months. Another important factor is safety. Even if you drive at 95 km/h, it would still take almost an hour to reach space. However, driving to the moon would take a little longer than that, because the moon is 400,000 kilometers away. It would take about as long as driving around the globe ten times, which is just under six months. Of course, finding a garage to refuel and use the loo would be a real problem. How long does it take to get to the moon walking? Walking on the Moon would not be an easy task. Unless you have a support vehicle that doubles as a shelter, you would have to spend half the day in darkness. You also would have to build up your endurance, since walking in low gravity would tax your cardiovascular system and muscles. The time required to walk around the Moon depends on several factors, including the size of your spacecraft and how fast you can walk. If you’re looking to walk at top speed, it will take you between 91 days and 1.5 years. You will also have to deal with temperature changes and radiation. While walking on the Moon is more difficult than running on Earth, it’s not impossible. The astronauts on Apollo were able to walk at 2.2 kilometers per hour (1.4 miles per hour) on the Moon, despite their lack of ground traction. The Apollo astronauts walked in spacesuits that did not allow for much traction on the surface. How long would it take to drive a car to the sun? Driving a car to the moon takes a lot of time, as it is nearly 6,000 miles away. The moon has a gravity that is just one sixth that of the Earth’s, and it would take a car at least six months to get to the moon. That would be the equivalent of driving the car around the Earth ten times without stopping. The distance to the Moon is 6,000 miles, so a car would have to drive at 60 mph to cover the entire distance. A car driving at 60 mph would take around 100 hours to drive around the Moon, but a car wouldn’t be able to make much downforce to keep the car on the road. If a spacecraft could get from Earth to the moon in six months, the time would be about the same. But there are a lot of problems that may arise, and we need to plan ahead. First, we have to make sure that we know how to reach Mars safely. Mars is over 218 million miles from Earth. And even if a spacecraft had two years to travel between Earth and Mars, it would still take a car about four years to reach Mars. How much does it cost to go to the Moon? The cost of a car to go to the moon is estimated at about $50 million. The average distance from Earth to the moon is about 252,088 miles. However, the moon is not always in the same position in its orbit. At its farthest, it is 252,088 miles away from Earth, while at its closest, it is 225,623 miles away. This makes the actual cost of going to the moon much higher. According to NASA, it would take an astronaut just over an hour to drive up to the moon. In contrast, it would take a car nearly four days to travel to the moon. However, this distance would be very long if you took a long route. The distance would equal to driving around the world 10 times, which would require about six months. The only problem would be finding a place to refuel and use the loo. In addition to these costs, the Moon trip would also cost a lot to NASA. In 2011, the company relied on Roscosmos for transporting astronauts to the International Space Station, but now it plans to partner with private companies. The cost of such a trip is estimated to be around $20 billion. How long is a trip to Mars? The distance between earth and Mars is approximately 40.6 million kilometers (25 million miles), and it is estimated that it would take about 12.5 minutes for a car to reach Mars. However, this distance can vary depending on the speeds of the two planets. Since the distance between the two planets is so vast, it is essential to plan a trip during periods when Mars is closest to the Earth. If we travel at the speed of light, then it would take about nine months to reach Mars. However, if we drive 60 miles per hour, it will take approximately 3.6 million hours to reach Mars. This would still be much longer than the time it takes to drive at the speed of light. The average spacecraft accelerates for about 20 minutes and coasts for the remainder of the journey. However, it is also possible to send supplies ahead of the crew, which would arrive at the surface of Mars. Can you walk to Pluto? If you have ever thought about walking to Pluto, you might be thinking of the long journey from Earth. It would take about 3 750 000 days – or about ten thousand years. However, walking to Pluto in a car is not impossible and there are a few ways to go about it. One way is to use Moovit, a free app that provides directions to places in real-time. The app shows you the closest stops as well as alternate routes and times. Pluto is about two-thirds the size of Earth’s moon. The surface area is the same as Russia. Its radius is one-third of Earth’s. As a result, a 50-kg human would only weigh four kilograms on Pluto. In addition, Pluto has a very cold climate. It can get down to 369 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 223 degrees Celsius. In addition to the atmosphere, Pluto’s surface is covered in dark brown rocks, which makes it difficult for humans to walk on it. However, this does not prevent it from being a popular destination for tourists. Its uplands are relatively flat, and are known as Burney Crater. It’s named after a woman named Venetia Katharine Douglas Burney. There are impact craters and deep canyons on Pluto. How long would it take to get to the Sun? The Sun is 93 million miles from Earth, and it would take a car travelling at 100 km/h about 186 billion miles to get there. Currently, a manned spacecraft is the fastest way to get there, but that won’t be the case for much longer. According to NASA, it would take 42,492 hours to reach the sun if we were to drive at a constant top speed. That is just under five years! Obviously, that would take some serious fuel and a lot of time. But in comparison, a Jumbo Jet would take 19 years to reach the sun. The fastest spacecraft currently in orbit is NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, which keeps breaking speed records as it approaches our star. In November, it reached its maximum speed of 101 miles (163 kilometers) per second, which is about 364,621 mph (586,000 kph). Eventually, it will reach a quarter million miles (0.8 million km) of the solar surface.

Hi, readers, and pleased Friday! This week we have bought some good information concerning maps and asteroids, along with updates from the world’s big place companies. James Webb has lastly powered on all its instruments. And it appears like NASA’s Lucy spacecraft has nine lives! We’ll wrap up with skywatching prospects for the 7 days, as 5 celestial bodies come into graceful alignment. Gaia Undertaking Releases Largest, Most Detailed Sky Map Ever After months of suspense, the European Area Agency’s Gaia job has launched its gigantic new sky map. It’s the most important, most entire, most comprehensive multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way at any time. The 3D map is a wealthy knowledge-established on approximately two billion stars, and other objects inside of the Milky Way. For the duration of its study, the area telescope captured pics of 3 million other galaxies. But it turns out that Gaia can also graphic quasars and AGNs. The house telescope can even detect “starquakes” — little disturbances on the surface area of stars. Since the Gaia project scientists released this information for general public use, anticipate a lot more such revelations in the coming months. Psyche At last Exhibits Its Face Though Gaia was mapping the Milky Way, a staff of astronomers have generated the most specific map to day of the floor of a solitary asteroid: 16-Psyche. Scientists imagine the asteroid could keep clues to how our planets arrived to be. In accordance to the report accompanying the map, 16-Psyche has a remarkably different floor of steel, sand, and rock. This surface terrain suggests that the asteroid’s historical past could involve impacts and eruptions. 16 Psyche is the namesake and desired destination of NASA’s Psyche mission, slated to launch later this 12 months. NASA provides Ninth Asteroid to Lucy Mission Asteroid lovers may well be delighted to know that NASA has included a ninth asteroid to the Lucy mission’s itinerary. Before in the yr, we reported that all was not perfectly with the Lucy spacecraft. Component of its power array retained stubbornly refusing to deploy. At the time, mission scientists suspected that a load-bearing cable had appear unspooled, blocking the photo voltaic panels from opening. But it appears that the legendary ingenuity of NASA engineers has arrive by means of as soon as once more. Above the class of a number of interventions by mission experts, Lucy has managed to unfurl that 2nd solar panel about 96%. Now, the solar array is delivering about 90% of its ordained 18 kilowatts. With this substantially power at its disposal, mission scientists are self-assured that Lucy can total its mission. In actuality, the spacecraft is performing very well adequate that its science team is sending it on a scenic detour. One particular of Lucy’s observation targets is a Trojan asteroid referred to as Polymele. But it turns out Polymele has a partner: the asteroid seems to have a 5-km satellite of its very own. For the minute, Lucy’s science group has dubbed the new area rock “Shaun,” following Shaun the Sheep from “Wallace and Gromit.” So, if all goes nicely, Lucy will pay out Shaun a check out in 2027. James Webb Area Telescope Ultimately Will come On line As of June 15, all of Webb’s instruments are powered on and snapping their to start with visuals. And we never have lengthy to wait before Webb is thoroughly open up for organization. On July 12, NASA designs to launch a “suite of teaser observations” that illustrate Webb’s abilities. Marcia Ricke, an astronomer at the University of Arizona who operates one of Webb’s four cameras, mentioned in a article, “These will show the attractiveness of Webb imagery and also give astronomers a true taste of the good quality of data they will get.” Soon after July 12, the James Webb Area Telescope can last but not least start performing science comprehensive-time. We don’t still have a detailed plan for the following 12 months, but the telescope is booked stable for the full point. In the website put up, Ricke additional, “Astronomers throughout the entire world are eagerly waiting around to get the first data back from the most strong house telescope at any time designed.” NASA, ESA Be part of Forces to Get to For the Moon NASA and ESA (the European Area Company) are going to additional fortify their transatlantic ties. Wednesday, NASA and ESA officials signed an agreement that NASA will offer a launch automobile for the Lunar Pathfinder satellite. In a press meeting, NASA verified that the exchange will acquire area through its Professional Lunar Payload Providers (CLPS). Poetically, ESA calls their strategy for a foreseeable future lunar communications and navigation/GPS network “Moonlight.” The two organizations are previously partners on the Artemis lunar system. Europe is providing electric power and propulsion for NASA’s crewed Orion spacecraft, meant to move astronauts involving Earth and the moon. ESA will also add a module and refueling technological innovation to NASA’s Gateway, a “mini-house station” destined for lunar orbit. The agencies are also in talks about a large new cargo lander, to get materials from lunar orbit to a future Moon foundation. While Russian antagonism has driven the world’s area organizations towards shows of capitalist solidarity, Artemis continues to run NASA’s gauntlet of “shake, rattle and roll” basic safety exams. The ship has a “soaked costume” rehearsal on Saturday. In a modern briefing on Artemis basic safety checks, Artemis spokesperson Lisa Bates explained to ExtremeTech that the spacecraft’s design contains a sort of omni-box, a black box that contains a design for every other spacecraft NASA has at any time fielded. Converse about producing a list and checking it twice. If there is a failure mode which is physically probable, the Artemis group is damn perfectly established to find it. (These types of diligent extremely cooperate. A lot company. House!) And now my preferred part… June is strawberry time! This week’s impressive comprehensive moon, the Strawberry Moon, would seem like a difficult act to abide by. But there’s been a beautiful and auspicious gathering of several bare-eye planets building for weeks now, and subsequent week it’ll genuinely steal the highlight. We have not observed planets come into alignment like this for just about twenty several years. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have danced in and out of conjunction in the pre-dawn sky as this summertime came into complete bloom. Now the moon is making ready to sign up for them as they path out alongside the orbital airplane. In this circumstance, it’s truly awesome that the moon will be in its waning crescent stage. Moonlight from a comprehensive moon could wash out the planets in the lightening sky. On the other hand, a cooperative crescent moon will drift into alignment soon in advance of sunrise on June 23. It will fall concerning Venus and Mars. To catch this unheard of alignment of 5 celestial bodies, glance to the southeast, about 45 minutes ahead of dawn. That’s all for now, my buddies, but we’ll be again on Friday to inform you all about what occurred this 7 days in space. Source website link

With the help of Hope to Dream, 50 children from Brevard County took a brief trip to outer space. The children and their families were invited to spend the afternoon at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and toured a beloved spacecraft. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex was the perfect venue for the Hope to Dream event, because they work every day to teach the public about endless potential and exploration. While on location, we spoke with retired astronaut Mark Lee about the importance of providing children the opportunity of a better night’s sleep. “It is absolutely important that you’re refreshed and able to work the next day and so sleep is critical to our performance,” he said. A Shuttle Big Enough to Chase Dreams During their visit to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the children were taken across the park to tour Space Shuttle Atlantis. Along the way, they marveled at the sights of rockets used during the Space Race in the 20th Century. The young children were dwarfed by the towering space crafts. On their tour, guides explained the triumph of creating a spacecraft that could be reused, a dream that took decades to achieve. Space Shuttle Atlantis was involved in 33 missions into outer space, and was retired in 2011 to the Visitor Complex. At the end of the tour, the children were brought back to the Rocket Garden to participate in games, crafts and face painting as they awaited the final surprise of the day. The children took part in a sharing moment where they talked about their favorite parts of the tour and what they wanted to be when they grew up. By an astounding show of hands, they want to be astronauts. The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex gave the children and their families extra admissions passes to come back to the park for more extraterrestrial exploration. Rebecca Shireman, Public Relations and Communications Manager at KSC Visitor Complex expressed the significance of Hope to Dream’s event at the Kennedy Space Center. “The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a place where we inspire the next generation of space explorers by telling the NASA story in a fun, compelling, entertaining, and educational way,” she said. “The U.S. space program was built on hopes and dreams and hard work, so this event is important to inspire the next generation of space explorers.” Toward the end of the event, the kids were surprised with a brand-new bed of their own. Each of the teddy bears in the sleeper set came with inspirational messages from Ashley HomeStore employees to encourage the kids to reach for their dreams. “I can be the perfect example of that. I lived in a farm community in Wisconsin. When I was in third grade is when I decided I wanted to be an astronaut,” Lee said. “So everything I did in my life was to get selected and to fly in space and so dreams drive what you’re going to do to get there.” Hope to Dream is founded upon the idea that children should be granted an infinite future, one that starts with a good night’s sleep tonight. With over 90,000 beds donated, the organization wants children to have a better night’s sleep so they can reach for the stars. “We believe that every child deserves a good night’s sleep and a place to have great dreams about the future,” said Steve King of Ashley HomeStore. Visit the Hope to Dream website to learn more about the organization. To follow along as they help better the lives of children across North America, you can discover more inspirational stories on Instagram.

The problem about looking stuff up online is the absence of an algorithm that quantifies the amount of bullshit exposed in websites. Therefore, when someone tries to understand what really goes into making aircraft fly, usually one out of two things happen: a) you get incredibly overwhelmed with controversial information, or b) you simply accept that there is thrust, drag, lift and weight and that that’s everything you know for sure. I am saying this because it has happened to me. But after some experience, analysis and deeper research, here is a reasonably simple explanation for the basics behind wing aerodynamics. On a macroscopic level, the afore mentioned forces are indeed what makes an airplane fly. Considering basic physics: - Thrust > Drag: you accelerate - Lift > Weight: you rise - Drag >Thrust: you slow down - Weight > Lift: you pray This is as simple as it gets. Thrust is generated by engine propulsion. Drag due to air resistance. Weight thanks to gravity. But how do you generate lift? Actually, the magic happens on the wings and to understand the big picture, first we need to look into the microscopic level. Some Fluid Dynamics theory They say when there’s a will, there’s a way. In fluid dynamics, when there’s a pressure drop, there’s also a way. Fluids usually move from places with higher pressure to regions under lower pressure. This is basically what makes a fluid move inside a pipe! The flow suffers continuous pressure loss due to wall friction, therefore P1 > P2 and thus a net force is created that keeps the flow moving forward: This phenomenon is the Holy Grail of several engineering applications involving fluid flow. Keep it in mind if you want to understand flows: fluid has a tendency to move from higher to lower pressure! Visualize yourself as being a passive air particle looking at an airplane. The plane is moving forward in high speed due to propulsion and it continuously flies into stationary air. Meet the Airfoil, a section view of an airplane wing: 1. It’s all about Pressure When the air particles encounter the front of the wing, the air will split in two directions: upwards and downwards of the leading edge. Here comes the first revelation: lift is generated in part because the average pressure contour at the bottom of the wing is higher than the pressure at the top. And here is why: When the air encounters the wing, the bottom surface will bend the air, pushing it forwards and downwards, increasing the pressure beneath the airfoil (red and orange arrows in the picture). The same thing happens, momentarily, at the top surface: an impact wave forms when the air hits the leading edge of the wing, increasing pressure at the tip of the airfoil (pink and yellow arrows). This is exactly the same effect as sea waves that from at the tip of a forward moving boat. But as soon as the air travels further ‘downhill’ of the wing, it encounters the “hidden” area which isn’t exposed to the dynamic incoming air, due to the high angle of attack (AoA): This area is usually thinner than the leading edge, creating a kind of “gap” for the air to “fill”, and this sudden change of direction and increased space for the incoming flow causes the pressure to drop. At this point, the air at this “hidden” surface will accelerate in consequence of the pressure drop it suffered, therefore the streamlines of the upper surface of the wing reach the leading edge first in comparison to the streamlines of the downside: This can be associated with the Bernoulli principle! The Bernoulli principle states that there is an inverse relation between pressure and velocity in fluid flow. The faster the flow is moving, the less pressure the fluid particles will exert. 2. Lift Generation: it’s Newton baby The mentioned pressure gradients end up being good for one, solid reason: every action creates an opposite reaction, a.k.a. Newton’s 3rd Law (karma). - if pressure gradients generate a net pressure force due to the fluid’s tendency to move from high to low pressure, the airfoil suffers an upward net force due to the average pressure difference between top and bottom surface. - the wing bends the air downwards thus the solid wing is exerting a downwards and forwards directed force on the fluid. According to Newton’s 3rd law, the fluid will therefore apply an upwards and backwards directed force on the wing, the resultant force: where the upwards component is called Lift and the backwards component, Induced Drag. Now to fully understand why this is possible, it is important to consider the reason air actually remains attached to the wing’s surface. Ever thought about that? 3. Air follows the wing shape and… sticks to it?! Say hi to Pascal’s law. The air around an airplane is at a characteristic pressure value for a given altitude. Let’s call it simply atmospheric pressure. Pascal’s law states that pressure applied to a fluid particle is transmitted equally in all directions, meaning that the entire wing surface is constantly being pressurized by the atmospheric air around it. Air is naturally viscous, meaning that it is sticky and wants to glue to every surface is finds, creating something called a boundary layer. If air wasn’t viscous, there would be no way to fly whatsoever because it would simply ignore any surface instead of acting upon it. That’s why plane crashes can happen when ice forms on plane wings: it would dettach the boundary layer from the surface and create aerodynamic stall. - atmospheric pressure acting on the wings + natural air viscosity = mistery solved: flow keeps attached to the surface. You can also correlate this phenomena with Newton’s 1st law: a body moving in a certain direction will continue to move in its trajectory unless an external force acts upon it. Funny how things connect to each other.

М. А. Бакунин Jingle pilots race to have licensed by the US authoritiesIn the event the US Federal Flying Authority (FAA) unveiled their new restrictions on Unmanned Oxygenous Vehicles back in July, both corporate workers and independent operators began immediately applying to become commercially licensed drone pilots. At this point more than 3, 600 people have registered to consider the new FAA bum test the first accessible finance.yahoo.com day, Monday, August. 29, and the FAA estimates within 1 year the number of licensed bum operators will surpass the 171, 000 pilots, CNBC reviews. Where previously industrial drone operators had been required to have a pilot's license and to submit an application for complicated and expensive waivers to fly commercially, the new principles will allow anyone older than 16 to take a great aeronautical knowledge check at an FAA-approved capability, pass a background check, and become registered as a commercial drone start. Recommended: How protected is flying? Take aviation safety quiz As part of the regulations, commercial drones must ponder less than 55 lbs, fly at a greatest altitude of 4000 feet and no quicker than 100 a long way per hour, and always possibly be within the line of view of the pilot. They will only be operated in the course of daylight hours and up to be able to 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset, though simple exemptions can be purchased for things like high altitude or night soaring as well as other expanded emploi. Prior to announcing the modern drone regulations, often the FAA had been compelled to catch-up using the ever-expanding nature from the UAV industry. Because the technology continued to build up rapidly, drones grew to be increasingly accessible for hobbyists and authorities alike. In October of 2015, typically the FAA made rhyme registration mandatory for many operators (including hobbyists) following a series of UAV safety incidents and also close calls - which had developed to over 100 every month in the summer of 2015, up from 40 per month the previous yr. But the increased legislation appears to primarily influence commercial users, while registered hobbyists most likely engage in undisclosed professional operations. As The Christian Science Monitor noted in March of the year, more than 6th free background check, 000 drones were being registered for business reasons and there were 4000, 000 FAA-registered UAV hobbyists. The earlier complicated and drawn-out nature of obtaining commercial UAV waivers pushed many commercially-driven drone users toward clandestine and unregistered professional use. The new FAA regulations tag a major step in the commercial UAV marketplace as the potential for economically-based drone use is escalating. The use of UAVs has dramatically affected industrial sectors as far-ranging since construction, agriculture, firefighting, and search in addition to rescue. Real estate agents usually are increasingly utilizing drones to capture aerial footage of both recent buildings and for surveying undeveloped properties.

Curiosity rover touches down on Mars NASA’s Curiosity rover has just landed on Mars. The one-ton vehicle was reported to have landed in a deep crater near the planet’s equator at 06:32 BST (05:32 GMT). It will now embark on a mission of at least two years to look for evidence that Mars may once have supported life. A signal confirming the rover was on the ground safely was relayed to Earth via NASA’s Odyssey satellite, which is in orbit around the Red Planet. The success was greeted with a roar of approval here at mission control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The mission has even already sent its first low-resolution images – showing the rover’s wheel and its shadow, through a dust-covered lens cap that has yet to be removed. A first color image of Curiosity’s surroundings should be returned in the next couple of days. Engineers and scientists who have worked on this project for the best part of 10 years punched the air and hugged each other. The descent through the atmosphere after a 570-million-km journey from Earth had been billed as the “seven minutes of terror” – the time it would take to complete a series of high-risk, automated manoeuvres that would slow the rover from an entry speed of 20,000 km/h to allow its wheels to set down softly. The Curiosity team had to wait 13 tense minutes for the signals from Odyssey and the lander to make their way back to Earth. After the landing, the flight director reported that Curiosity had hit the surface of Mars at a gentle 0.6 metres per second. “We’re on Mars again, and it’s absolutely incredible,” said NASA administrator Charles Bolden. “It doesn’t get any better than this.” The mission team will now spend the next few hours assessing the health of the vehicle (also referred to as the Mars Science Laboratory, MSL). This is the fourth rover NASA has put on Mars, but its scale and sophistication dwarf all previous projects. Its biggest instrument alone is nearly four times the mass of the very first robot rover deployed on the planet back in 1997. Curiosity has been sent to investigate the central mountain inside Gale Crater that is more than 5 km high. It will climb the rise, and, as it does so, study rocks that were laid down billions of years ago in the presence of liquid water. The vehicle will be looking for evidence that past environments could have favored microbial life. Scientists warn, however, that this will be a slow mission – Curiosity is in no hurry. For one thing, the rover has a plutonium battery that should give it far greater longevity than the solar-panelled power systems fitted to previous vehicles. “People have got to realize this mission will be different,” commented Steve Squyres, the lead scientist of the Opportunity and Spirit rovers landed in 2004. “When we landed we only thought we’d get 30 sols (Martian days) on the surface, so we had to hit the ground running. Curiosity has plenty of time,” he said. Initially, the rover is funded for two years of operations. But many expect this mission to roll and roll for perhaps a decade or more.

Brian posted this on his blog this morning.. CNN Headlines reported this morning: NASA has delayed tomorrow’s landing of the space shuttle Atlantis after engineers spotted a mystery object outside the shuttle; weather at the Florida landing site also is a concern. In the CNN article “Mystery object delays shuttle landing“ “NASA engineers spotted the object at about 2:45 a.m EDT Tuesday with a video camera in the shuttle’s cargo bay. The object, which circled the Earth in the same orbit as the shuttle and is of undetermined size […] It’s something that we didn’t expect, but it’s something that we’re taking a real close look at,” This has of course lead to rampant speculation around the office.

Omega speedmaster watches came out, then in the hands of professional racing caused a sensation. Its solid construction makes it possible to maintain a precise timing while resisting strong vibrations and collisions. Thanks to the speed scale on the bezel, racers can more easily read the speed of each lap than ever before. Speedmaster watch with the function at the time was unprecedented, and both in terms of design, durability or watch function, speedmaster watch can be described as an important innovation. It is also because of these two characteristics, making the Omega speedmaster watch has become a great time to explore the space, and in 1965 after the Apollo program, to accompany every astronaut into the space of loyal partners. In 1964, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) began looking for a watch for manned space programs. They picked up several pieces of timepieces from different brands and tested them all the hardware that went into the space environment. Finally, only one watch successfully passed a series of rigorous tests including extreme temperatures, vibrations, and strong impacts in a vacuum environment, which is the Omega Speedmaster watch. 60 years later, Omega speedmaster replica watches can still be used in all manned space program, and has become one of the permanent equipment of the International Space Station. Today’s Omega speedmaster series of moon tables keep the same design with the original speedmaster watch, and this is precisely confirmed the speedmaster watch prototype very forward-looking unique design. Speedmaster series sixty anniversary history review “Wide arrow” watch First speedmaster watch Speedmaster, the legendary watch series of the earliest watches, because of its unique pointer shape is called “wide arrow” watch. It is not only the first speedmaster watch, but also the first Omega clock equipped with speed scale bezel watch, rather than the speed scale engraved on the dial above. This design is designed to facilitate the racing driver. In all the speedmaster watch, this is a precious watch, it marks the speedmaster watch legend of the opening. First Omega Space Table Astronaut Walter Schella worn watch As the second generation speedmaster watch, its design is different from the prototype “wide arrow” watch. This watch is equipped with black aluminum bezel, the Air Force custom lollipop second hand, as well as Alpha-shaped hour and minute hands. October 3, 1962, the US astronaut Walter Shiella wearing this speedmaster watch into space, making it the first to enter the space of the Omega replica watches. At that time, he wore his own speedmaster watch, boarded the “Sieg Code No. 7″ spacecraft to perform Mercury plans to fly. Since then, speedmaster watch space legend will be opened the curtain. George Clooney wearing a watch Innovative Omega speedmaster 57 watch is the legendary tribute to the speedmaster watch, but also will be a unique style to create their own new future. This watch is reminiscent of the many well-known speedmaster watch design elements, including black dial with beige scale, vertical lugs and scraper metal bezel with speed scale. In 2015, George Clooney proudly wearing this watch to shoot Omega advertising videos. Inspired by the 1959 speedmaster prototype watch In 1959, Omega speedmaster series CK2998 watch come out, after time changes, has gradually become the world’s most popular speedmaster series antique watch one.

Fighting Fires from the Sky, No Pilot Necessary Where there’s smoke, there’s fire—and soon there will be drones, too. The aerospace and defense company Lockheed Martin has developed a number of autonomous aircraft that can work together to fight fires and rescue people, without humans having to risk their lives. The setup uses two small drones to provide reconnaissance, and two automated helicopters to carry out the tasks of putting out fires and recovering stranded victims. First, a quadcopter drone uses thermal and visible light imaging to identify the location of a fire. It then shares that information with a cargo helicopter that’s been converted to fly without a pilot, which is able to carry water to the scene to extinguish the flames. Then, a fixed-wing drone can be used to identify people at the site who might be at risk. In much the same way as the first wave of response, it’s able to share information with another autonomous helicopter, which can land nearby so that victims can hop aboard to escape the scene. According to Wired, Lockheed Martin tested the craft last week, and hopes to have the helicopters actively fighting fires within the next five years. That’s not as crazy as it sounds: autonomous flight is technologically better developed than, say, self-driving cars. While such aircraft might not be put to use in urban areas, they’d be perfectly well-suited to dealing with wildfires. Still, regulation remains a problem. Until recently, red tape had hindered commercial drones in the U.S., but even with that now out of the way, an air-traffic-control scheme still needs to be developed for automated craft. If that logistical issue is resolved, rescue workers dealing with wildfires may be able to step away from the front lines in the coming years and let drones take over.

WASHINGTON (FOX 5 DC) – A demo helicopter noise reporting procedure is now operational in the D.C. area, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton announced Wednesday. People can now post helicopter sounds concerns to the trial helicopter noise reporting procedure. In January 2021, the Government Accountability Place of work (GAO) encouraged that the FAA establish a mechanism to exchange helicopter sounds details with helicopter operators in the Countrywide Cash Area (NCR). Past Coverage: “#1 constituent grievance”: DoD to try out and cut down helicopter sounds over Northern Virginia properties The demo process is operate by the Jap Region Helicopter Council and the Helicopter Affiliation Intercontinental. The FAA will examine the success of the trial process. “Even though I am worried that the FAA is not running the demo helicopter sound reporting procedure alone, it is significant that helicopter sound concerns be submitted to the technique, so that we can have a far better notion which operators are producing noise issues and where they are concentrated,” Norton explained. “I search ahead to discovering the outcomes of the method.”

Points possible: 50 points INTRODUCTION In a short span of 100 years, we have gone from making a few test flights to orbiting celestial bodies, from sliding along sand dunes to spanning oceans, from performing feats of isolated daring to depending on aviation in our everyday lives. Speeds have increased a thousandfold, as have altitude and range capability. No longer is the sky the limit. Ahead lie risks and rewards as vast as space itself. We have the promise of new airliners that fly with greater fuel efficiency, of huge air freighters that move the nation’s goods, of an expanding general aviation fleet, and of the peaceful uses of space for exploration and research. THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY The aerospace industry includes those firms engaged in research, development, and manufacture of all of the following: aerospace systems, including manned and unmanned aircraft; missiles, space-launch vecles, and spacecraft; propulsion, guidance, and control units for all of the foregoing; and a variety of airborne and ground-based equipment essential to the testing, operation, and maintenance of flight vecles. Virtually all of the major firms in the aerospace industry are members of the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) or the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA). Founded in 1919 and based in Wasngton, D.C., the AIA is a trade association representing the nation’smanufacturers of commercial, military, and business aircraft, helicopters, aircraft engines, missiles, spacecraft, and related components and equipment. GAMA, also based in Wasngton, D.C., is the trade association that represents the interests of manufacturers of light aircraft and component parts. As the 21st century began, approximately two-trds of the aerospace industry’s output was bought by the federal government. During the past two decades, ts figure has ranged as gh as 74 percent. At the same time, the aerospace industry is the world’s largest producer of civil aircraft and equipment. Roughly 6 out of every 10 transports operating with the world’s civil airlines are of U.S. manufacture, and in addition, the industry turns out several thousand civil helicopters and general aviation planes yearly. These facts underline the unique status of the aerospace industry. Its role as principal developer and producer of defense, space, and other government-required systems in large measure dictates the industry’s size, structure, and product line. Because it operates under federal government procurement policies and practices, the industry is subject to controls markedly different from those of the commercial marketplace. But the aerospace industry is also a commercial entity, and it must compete in the civil market for economic and human resources with other industries less fettered by government constraints. Its dual nature as government and commercial supplier makes the aerospace industry particularly importantto the national interest. Its technological capabilities influence national security, foreign policy, the space program, and other national goals. Also, the efficacy of the national air transportation system depends to considerable degree on the quality and performance of equipment produced for the airlines and the airways operators. Naturally, such an industry is vital to the U.S. economy, especially in the following areas: 1. Trade balance. The excellence of U.S. aerospace products has created strong demand abroad, with the result that the industry consistently records a large international trade surplus. 2. Employment. Despite several years of decline in number of workers, the aerospace industry remains one of the nation’s largest manufacturing employers. 3. Research and development. The industry conducts more research and development (R & D) than any other industry, and R & D is a major long-term determinant of national economic growth. 4. Impact on other industries. A great many new aerospace-related products and processes have spun off from the initial aerospace requirement and have provided value to other industries, both in sales and in productive efficiency. In addition, the aerospace industry is a large-scale user of other industries’ goods and services: it has been estimated that for every Wensveen, John G. (2012-10-01).

The US Navy’s Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 79 has successfully completed the tail bushing repair work on a MH-60R Seahawk multi-mission maritime helicopter. As part of a US-Spanish joint initiative, the HSM 79 has carried out the repair works in close coordination with a team of Spanish aviation specialists at the Naval Station Rota, Spain. The initiative was developed to sustain the mission capabilities of the aircraft. HSM-79 commanding officer commander Nikolas Rongers said: “This, to our knowledge, is the first maintenance and aircraft readiness effort of its kind in the US European Command area of responsibility – leveraging resident SH-60B Seahawk intermediate level maintenance expertise and capabilities to build enduring interoperability relationships with our host nation and Nato ally – Spain, a joint operator of the Seahawk series of multi-mission helicopters.” The effort required participation of distinct artisan repairs and to meet this demand, HSM-79 team took support from various Spanish industry partners which helped accelerate the process of maintenance. However, the repairs were originally made in collaboration with the US Fleet Readiness Center. How well do you really know your competitors?

He later shot down a V-1 on 16 Aug 1944 as the following report confirmed; Consolidated Diver Report 616 Squadron, Manston F/O W. McKenzie, R.C.A.F. 16 August 1944 After an uneventful scramble, F/O McKenzie was about to land at Manston when Control (Kingsley 11) passed information that Divers were coming in. F/O McKenzie was sent back to orbit approximately 5 miles S.E. Ashford at 3000 ft. One Diver was seen flying on a course of 320 degrees at 1000 ft, at speed of approximately 360 mph. F/O McKenzie positioned to 700 yards behind and 500 ft below Diver at approximately 0938 hrs. A Mustang was seen to attack from line astern and fire from 250 yards. No strikes were observed and the Diver continued on a straight and level course. The Mustang then pulled upwards and broke away. Immediately F/O McKenzie attacked from astern at range of 400 yards and fired a 4 second burst. Strikes were seen all over Diver and starboard wing fell off. Diver then rolled over on its back and went down to explode on ground approximately 6 miles southeast of Maidstone at approximately 0940 hours. This position and time has now been confirmed by Royal Observer Corps at Maidstone. CLAIM: 1 Diver destroyed by F/O W. McKenzie (R.C.A.F.)

by Staff Writers Pasadena CA (JPL) Mar 23, 2012 Observers, mission planners, and other interested users are invited to use a new website tool to view a list of near-Earth asteroids that are among the most accessible for future robotic or human space flight round-trip rendezvous missions. For each of up to several hundred asteroids listed, the following information is available: + Absolute magnitude (H). + Estimated diameter (meters). Minimum delta-V mission and the corresponding round trip flight time. Delta-V, in km/s, is defined here as the total velocity change required for the spacecraft to depart from a 400 km circular Earth orbit, rendezvous with the NEA and return to Earth with an entry velocity less than the specified threshold of 12 km/s. + Minimum mission duration time (round trip time in days) and the corresponding mission delta-V. + The number of viable trajectories found for that NEA, which is a proxy for its accessibility. + The next optical observing opportunity and the peak apparent visual magnitude. + The next Arecibo radar observing opportunity and the corresponding signal to noise ratio (SNR). + The next Goldstone radar observing opportunity along with the corresponding SNR. + Metric for orbit accuracy (Orbit Condition Code). + Orbit solution ID. Users can customize the table of accessible NEAs by specifying limits on total delta-V, mission duration, stay time at the asteroid, launch date interval, asteroid absolute magnitude, and orbit condition code. The table can be sorted on almost all the bulleted items above. Clicking on each object's designation takes the user to an object-specific page, which provides additional details, including a plot showing total mission delta-V for each combination of mission duration and launch date (2015 - 2040). Another click on the object's designation opens a new window that provides orbital and physical data for the object. The Near-Earth Object Human Space Flight Accessible Targets Study (NHATS) began in September 2010 under the auspices of NASA Headquarters Planetary Science Division of the Science Mission Directorate in cooperation with the Advanced Exploration Systems Division of the Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. Its purpose was to identify any known Near-Earth Objects, particularly Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) that might be accessible by future human spaceflight missions. The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) independently performed the first phase of the NHATS study in parallel to validate the results. NEAs are discovered almost daily, and often the time just after discovery is also the optimal time to provide follow-up observations to secure their orbits and characterize their physical nature. These follow-up observations are particularly important for those NEAs that could become potential future mission targets. The goal behind this website is to monitor these NEA discoveries daily and determine if any among them warrant additional study as they might become attractive mission targets. Brent Barbee (GSFC) developed the process that automatically downloads orbital information on newly discovered NEAs from the JPL Small Bodies Database (SBDB) on a daily basis. He then performs trajectory calculations using the method of patched conics for the spacecraft and with full precision ephemerides for the Earth and NEOs obtained from JPL's Horizons system to determine which among them may meet the NHATS accessibility constraints. The results of this daily analysis are then immediately uploaded to the NHATS table. A process generated by Paul Chodas (JPL) then provides, for each NHATS-compliant NEA, the details of future observation opportunities that might allow the NEA orbit to be improved with follow-up optical astrometric data. Some of these observing opportunities would also allow the NEA's physical nature to be characterized using photometric and spectroscopic observations. In cases where there are future close Earth approaches, radar astrometric and physical characterization observations may be possible; these opportunities are listed as well. Working closely with Brent Barbee and Paul Chodas, Alan Chamberlin (JPL) was largely responsible for creating this Accessible NEAs website. Website tool is available here.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), standing at 44.4 meters tall, is set to take off from the first launch pad at Sriharikota, situated approximately 135 km from Chennai. This mission, named PSLV-C56/DS-SAR, is a dedicated commercial venture conducted by NewSpace India Ltd, ISRO’s commercial arm. This launch follows the successful PSLV-C55/TeLEOS-2 mission, which took place in April, catering to customers in Singapore on behalf of ISRO. The countdown for PSLV-C56/DS-SAR commenced on Saturday, leading up to the launch at 6:30 am on July 30, 2023. This will be the 58th flight of PSLV and the 17th vehicle with Core Alone Configuration. The DS-SAR satellite, weighing 360 kg, is a result of collaboration between the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) representing the Government of Singapore, and ST Engineering, Singapore. Once deployed, DS-SAR will provide satellite imagery support to various agencies within the Singaporean Government. It is equipped with a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, enabling all-weather day and night coverage with imaging capabilities at 1-meter resolution. Unlike other variants of PSLV such as PSLV-XL, QL, and DL, the Core Alone version of PSLV-C56 will not utilize solid strap-on motors on its sides in the first stage. In addition to DS-SAR, the PSLV-C56 mission will carry six co-passenger satellites: VELOX-AM, a 23 kg technology demonstration microsatellite; ARCADE Atmospheric Coupling and Dynamics Explorer (ARCADE), an experimental satellite; SCOOB-II, a 3U nanosatellite carrying a technology demonstrator payload NuLIoN by NuSpace; an advanced 3U nanosatellite enabling seamless IoT connectivity in both urban and remote locations; Galassia-2, another 3U nanosatellite to be orbiting at low earth orbit; and ORB-12 STRIDER, a satellite developed under international collaboration. The launch of PSLV-C56/DS-SAR marks another significant milestone for ISRO’s commercial ventures and its contribution to the international space community.

Here are a few pictures that I took in the shop this morning. I've been working on replacing the landing gear box. Pictured below the new parts are light green. The landing gear box is one of the common repairs that we make to a major project. After years of neglect and abuse the castings can be cracked and need to be replaced. The gear box is de-riveted and removed from the airplane, cleaned and checked with dye penantrant. New parts are installed and reassembled on the bench and reinstalled in the aircraft. On this airplane the right casting was cracked. In the following pictures you can see what I have ahead of me. I've been assigned to get the fuselage ready for paint. Floors and seat tracks need installed, windows, skins, seat belt harnesses, radio and anteanas etc, etc, etc all need installed. I look forward to showing the progress of this project over the coming months. I would also suggest that you visit MMS's blog to get a more complete look at what goes on here on a weekly basis. If you are ever in the area we would welcome the visit. God Bless, Josh

NASA’s most important rocket launches including the Mercury program, Project Gemini, the Moon Missions, and Space Shuttle lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. In fact, at the first look, Florida doesn’t look like a convenient place for rocket launches: the southeasternmost state gets hit by lightning more than anywhere in the United States. And getting hit by lightning is a very bad thing during a rocket launch Notes 1. What’s more, monster hurricanes frequently hit Florida (almost every year).

Location: Saint Exupéry Auditorium Date and time: Thursday 23nd November 2023 at 11:45-12:45 "Towards a sustained funding of Space Weather activities in Europe" With the increasing use of space technology in day-to-day life, modern society has become vulnerable for Space Weather, finding its origin in the Sun, the solar wind, the magnetosphere, the ionosphere and the thermosphere, and its interaction with the Earth. The effects of Space Weather can range from damage to satellites arising from charged particles to disruption of power grids on Earth during geomagnetic storms, radio black-out on trans-polar aircraft routes, disturbance of satellite positioning systems, or loss of satellites due to increased atmospheric drag. In order to cope with the growing vulnerability of our modern society to space weather, there is a need for sustained funding for space weather observation and modelling activities, that go beyond the capabilities of individual countries. In Europe, space weather activities have been developed since 2009 by the European Space Agency (ESA), through the Space Situation Awareness (SSA) and Space Safety Program (S2P). In particular, ESA is developing the pre-operational Space Weather Service Network (SWESNET) as well as the Vigil space mission, that will observe the side of the Sun and send near real-time data on potentially hazardous solar activity before it rotates into view from Earth. In 2016, the European Commission (EC) Joint Research Center (JRC) organised an event on space weather, where, from a strategic and policy perspective, the lack of clearly defined roles in Europe was highlighted. At the international level, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), has established an Expert Team on Space Weather and has adopted a Four-year Plan for WMO’s Coordination of Space Weather Activities 2020-2023. In response to the WMO requirement, the European Meteorological satellite organisation EUMETSAT has expressed an interest in developing operational space weather activities. It is timely that a discussion takes place among the European Space Weather stakeholders, on a way forward towards a sustained funding of Space Weather activities in Europe. Location: Guillaumet Room Date and time: Friday 24th November 2023 at 11:45-12:45 4th workshop of the Solar and Heliospheric Italian Community (SoHe4) (25-27 October 2023, Florence, Italy) Can space activities be made environmentally sustainable? (19 November 2023, Toulouse, France) WG8-Sustainability is delighted to announce that it is organising a Sustainability Workshop on the Sunday preceding the ESWW19, in the same venue. The aim of the workshop is to share ideas, good practices, and discuss how we can go ahead and leave a sustainable future for the next generations. IMC-IV Workshop – First Announcement (3-7 June 2024, Potsdam, Germany) The International Magnetosphere Coupling IV (IMC-IV) workshop will be held in Potsdam, Germany, from June 3rd to 7th, 2024. Building on the success of previous workshops, IMC-IV will bring together researchers to examine and discuss: - The strongly coupled inner magnetosphere system. - How disturbances from the sun can propagate to the magnetosphere, thereby radically altering the plasma conditions and wave distributions. - How these disturbances ultimately influence the Earth’s ionosphere and upper atmosphere. - The tools to predict and monitor: space weather, comparative magnetospheres, and global magnetospheric interactions. As in previous workshops, short presentations will pave the way for in-depth discussions. The presentation time will be matched by an equal time allocated to in depth discussions to promote the exchange of ideas and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. Among the discussion leaders will be: Tuija Pulkkinen, Yoshizumi Miyoshi, Jerry Goldstein, Claudia Stolle, Ondrej Santolik, Miriam Sinnhuber, Daniel Baker, Mary K. Hudson, Larry Kepko, Theodore Sarris, Juha-Pekka Luntama, Philippe Escoubet, Emma Woodfield, Drew Turner, Matt Taylor, and Terry Onsager Organizers: Yuri Shprits, Julia Himmelsbach, Dedong Wang, Anthony A. Saikin, and Alexander Drozdov T-FORS Innovation day during ESWW During the ESWW, the team of the European project T-FORS (Travelling Ionospheric Disturbances Forecasting System) is pleased to invite you to a presentation of the activities carried out within the framework of this project during an “innovation day”, on Thursday 23 November, 5 p.m., in the SPOT room of the Pierre Baudis center.

This article is for helicopter pilots who normally fly IFR and complements the recently published Weather Threats for VMC Flights article. There are many benefits to flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and you will learn more about the advantages and challenges of flying IFR for helicopter pilots. Beware however: even flying IFR, weather remains a killer! When the weather in menacing, the safest approach remains to cancel or postpone the flight! Edited March 31, 2021 Consider applying for a pilot Instrument Rating (IR) licence One way to address the risks related to flying VFR in poor weather or Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) is to apply for a pilot Instrument Rating (IR) Helicopter. EASA Sunny Swift - Issue 11 Easier and safer flying in IFR for instance, illustrates some typical advantages of flying IFR for fixed wing GA pilots. They will be presented and enriched below. There is no fun in scud running under poor weather hoping that things will improve as terrain closes in. Having an IFR rating gives you far more options as a pilot. Some advantages of flying under IFR Flying under IFR increases the safety margins in poor weather conditions and reduced visibility. Here are some of the main advantages: - Flying under IFR allows flying above lower airspace (uncontrolled), from the ground to approximately 3000 ft. The lower airspace is busy with all kinds of traffic bringing a risk of Mid-Air Collision (MAC). Besides, Low Altitude (LALT) Operations pose the risks of Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) and of collision with cables, wire guides, towers, antenna, buildings, etc. Refer for instance to the EASA article Cable Collisions and the EASA animated video on Helicopter Wire Strike Avoidance. - In addition to traffic congestion, the lower airspace is also more complex to manage, with various controlled and restricted airspaces, sometimes in a complicated arrangement. This can result in Airspace Infringements (AI) and in the worst-case scenario, in Mid-Air-Collision accidents. Refer for instance to the EASA Airspace Infringement campaign for GA pilots where you can find more information about this challenge. - If the traffic is dense below 3000 ft and jetliners usually fly in the upper airspace (approximately above FL 120), in the middle there are often clear skies, far less traffic and better radio reception. - Flying higher above 3000ft in controlled airspace is safer because separation is provided by ATC. Navigation is also simpler, as the pilot simply follows ATC instructions. - Flying higher also gives more time to react in case of an emergency and chose an emergency landing space. Note: Because of the very nature of certain helicopter operations such as Special Operations (SPO) also referred to as Aerial Work (AeW), or Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) for instance, it isn’t however always possible to fly above 3000 ft. - The main advantage of getting a pilot Instrument Rating (IR) Helicopter is equally valid for helicopter pilots: acquiring the competences needed to fly on instruments, which turns to be particularly useful when visual conditions deteriorate. Even if you are IFR qualified avoid entering Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) and Degraded Visual Environment (DVE). To avoid being caught into a cloud, you can either: - Cancel the flight. - Make a 180 degree turn to return to base. - Change heading to reach an alternate airfield. - Land the helicopter, as promoted in the HAI Land & LIVE campaign. Watch the EHEST video Decision Making: - Flying on instruments frees the pilot from having to refer to external visual cues, which are very poor or inexistent in IMC and DVE. This should avoid spatial disorientation and prevent Undesired Aircraft States (UAS), an essential component of the Threat and Error Management (TEM) model, such as unusual attitudes, which can result in upsets and Loss of Control accidents – the Number 1 killer in rotorcraft aviation! If you nevertheless find yourself in a cloud, don’t panic: your IFR competences will get you out of trouble. But you have to react swiftly: when visibility deteriorates, early transfer references to instruments and quickly take action! The EHEST video Downgraded Visual Environment and Helicopter Loss of Control in Flight well summarises the actions to take: (06:48): Any delay in the transfer of referencing to the aircraft instruments could result in critical attitude and disorientation. Recovery from the usual attitude requires an immediate and disciplined response, which can be summed up as: - Wings level: using the attitude indicator, including balance. - Attitude: Adopt attitude indicator bar-to-bar relationship using the Attitude Indicator for straight and level flight. - Speed: Check speed is above 30 kt for Vortex Ring Awareness and below Vne (Power-on never exceed airspeed). - Power: Apply power for cruise or max available to establish climb, if below safety altitude. - Make a 180 degree turn: bank 30-degree maximum and prefer a rate 1 turn (180 degree turn in 60 seconds). - Then declare an emergency and get help from ATC. Caution: Making a 180-degree turn is possible and safe only when there are no terrain, obstacles or aircraft around. Otherwise, start descending and Land & LIVE (quoting Matt Zuccaro). Another recovery technique consisting of stabilised climbing to VMC above is presented in this excellent video by Bruce Webb, Director of Aviation Education at Airbus Helicopters published on March 30, 2021: Recovery techniques can save your life! It is recommended to present IIMC recovery procedures to VFR pilots as well. This can take place in the discussion on Threat and Error Management (TEM) with special emphasis on decision-making when encountering adverse meteorological conditions or unintentional IMC (AMC1 FCL.140.H Recency requirements: see the EASA Easy Access Rules for Part s FCL, page 114), in the context of the recurrent trainings and proficiency checks for type rating renewal. Some challenges of flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) Pilots are however facing particular issues when flying IFR in a helicopter, especially when lacking practice: - IFR flying can only be performed in an IFR-certified helicopter. In most cases only twin engine helicopters incorporate suitable IFR provisions and features. The biggest danger would be for an IFR-rated pilot to try to fly in IMC in a VFR-only helicopter: “I have the Instrument Rating therefore I know how to do it!” even if the helicopter is not IFR certified. Wrong! Never fly IMC in a helicopter not certified for IFR operations! - Flying IMC in a helicopter is more demanding than in an aeroplane. Getting the rating only once could increase the chances that the pilot would attempt to fly in worse conditions than what he or she is capable of mastering. Flying IFR in a helicopter requires continuous practice to cope with helicopter specific aspects such as stability, multi-tasking control capabilities including communication, approach flying technique, etc. - IFR flying means Instrument Flight Rules. To fly IFR, you have to follow specific rules, file an IFR flight plan, get clearances, fly determined paths, contact defined ATC frequencies and be prepared to fly all the way down to an IFR certified airport with a published IFR approach. These rules and procedures are meant to keep you well clear of obstacles and other traffic. It is not just a way to fly (even momentarily) in bad weather and DVE. Practice your instrument skills If you don’t practice often, your skills will erode. Week skills combined with an unplanned encounter can be fatal! Practice your instrument skills and keep them – and yourself and your passengers – alive! The HAI article Training for IIMC Is Crucial by Terry Palmer, 2020 Winter, tells you why practicing instruments skills does matter and suggests how often you should train. Always have a contingency plan Aviation requires being “ahead of the aircraft” to maintain situation awareness and stay in control, even more when flying IFR. This means that you should anticipate what will happen 10, 30 minutes, or even 1 hour ahead, and prepare for it NOW! IFR and IMC flying is a matter of preventive preparation. If you know that you are not able to fly IMC, think well ahead what to do when weather starts deteriorating, not when you are already in marginal VFR. Never fly in IMC if lacking practice! Do not let you get caught even close to the limits! Never accept a situation that does not allow at least one contingency plan, for instance flying a narrow valley with no possibility to make a 180° turn-back. This should be avoided through good flight preparation. In case you would nevertheless be caught in such a hazardous situation, do not hesitate to HAI Land & LIVE! Fly IFR the right way, or stay on the ground We borrow this title from the HAI Spotlight video published in August 2020. In this video, Chris Hill, HAI Director of Safety, addresses a speech to VFR pilots to trench the reckless strategy of “I Follow Roads – IFR ” for navigating in poor weather. If you don’t have good visual conditions, then file and fly IFR the right way. Otherwise, stay on the ground – and LIVE to fly another day! To prevent VFR into IMC, also known as Inadvertent Entry Into IMC (IIMC), accidents, quoting Chris Hill: “establish personal minimum, stick to them and you will be flying to a higher standard of safety!”

I took this picture of this aircraft at Anchorage International Airport/Lake Hood Anchorage, AK in early July. I know what the basic airframe is but the motor has me stumped. I want to see if any of you can ID this aircraft. To make it a little trickier I fuzzed out the N number on the tail so you can't look it up. I know I am mean. But I will give you the following information: The aircraft is operated by the United States Department of the Interior. Anyway here is the airplane, Have fun guessing what it is. I'm sorry about the long download time. My photoeditor decided that it didn't want to reduce the resolution to decrease the filesize. OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.

BY MATTHEW KALMAN SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Sunday, September 28th 2008 JERUSALEM - The United States has stationed 120 American troops and an early-warning radar system in Israel - marking the first permanent U.S. military presence there. Soldiers and technicians from the U.S. European Command flew to the Nevatim military base in the Negev Desert last Sunday, bringing with them advanced radar systems designed to help protect Israel against a potential ballistic missile attack from Iran, according to the weekly Defense News. Once operational, the system is expected to double or even triple the range at which Israel could detect, track and ultimately intercept Iranian missiles, Lt. Gen. Henry Obering, director of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency, told Defense News. The Forward Based X-Band Transportable Radar will be linked to U.S. satellite tracking stations and Israel's Arrow-2 defensive rocket system, enabling the Israelis to detect and destroy any incoming Iranian missile before it enters Israeli air space. Japan deployed the same system two years ago to detect potential missiles launched from North Korea. The U.S. European Command has deployed troops and Patriot air defenses for joint exercises and Iraq-related wartime planning, but has never before permanently deployed troops on Israeli soil, according to Defense News. "This is a major upgrade in bilateral preparations for the threats facing Israel," an Israeli defense official said. A British newspaper reported Friday that President Bush refused to okay a preemptive strike by Israel against Iran's fledgling nuclear facilities. In Israel, the X-Band is seen as a consolation prize. Iranian state TV has reported testing of its Shehab-3 long-range ballistic missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead 1,242 miles - more than far enough to hit Tel Aviv. At a recent military parade in Tehran, banners adorning six Shehab-3 missiles declared: "Israel must be wiped off the map," and "We will crush America under our feet." The United Nations recently renewed economic sanctions against Iran designed to halt its nuclear program and stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Israeli leaders fear that a nuclear Iran, driven by its violently anti-Jewish leaders, will try to destroy Israel.

I have posted images of stored 737 Max jets at Boeing Field. However, there is limited space there for storage and far more of the jets have been stored at Moses Lake. I wanted to see how things looked over there which was part of my reason for visiting. As I got close to the field, it wasn’t hard to spot the jets. They are everywhere it seems. The east side of the field has a bunch of them parked up. There are also plenty on the south side of the airport. I took some shots of them to make panoramas but the fence made it harder to get a good look and the light was on the wrong side by that time in the day. The south side of the field gave some better angles as did places along the road running around the airport. I quite liked the long view across to the large numbers of planes but the heat haze was really harsh so the shots, while giving an idea of how many planes there are, lose something from being so blurred. The south side of the field had the best light angles and you were quite close to the jets so haze was less of an issue. I like looking through the rows of planes neatly lined up to emphasize just how many of them there are. It seems Boeing is getting closer to restoring their airworthiness so we shall see how quickly they can mobilize to get the jets ready again and how willing the customers are to take delivery at this point! The grounding of the 737 Max fleet has resulted in plenty of parked jets. I have shown them at Paine Field but Boeing Field seems to be a big storage location. The employee parking lot has been turned into a 737 parking lot. I have seen jets over there before either awaiting engines or from customers that can’t pay but nothing on this scale. I took a trip to South Park so I could walk across the bridge and get a good view down into the storage area. I made a rough count and think there were probably over fifty jets stored there. While Boeing cut the production rate after the grounding, they only took it down to 42 a month so jets are still coming out at a prodigious rate. This area is full so, aside from Paine Field and Renton, I believe they are flying them to other storage locations. The 737 flight tests involve a departure from Renton and arrival at Boeing Field from which all further flying takes place. However, on some flights, approaches are made to Paine Field. One COPA 737 Max made such an approach while I was there. I was at the departure end of the field and, while sometimes they will land and back taxi before taking off again, this time it was a go around. Consequently, they were quite high by the time they passed me. Still worthy of a few shots, though. Engine supply is a bit of a problem for the big two airliner manufacturers at the moment. Rolls powered 787s are going through a drawn out program of rework and A320neos are sitting around awaiting both Pratt and CFM engines. Boeing is also short of CFM Leaps and the result is a lot of parked 737 Max jets at Renton and Boeing Field. Apparently, they are flying jets to Boeing Field and then trucking the engines back to Renton. As I flew over Boeing Field earlier in the week, the flightline did look full! I wanted to see all of these parked jets so took a trip to Renton one weekend to see how things were. There were certainly plenty of jets around and quite a few had ballast weights attached to the pylons. Supposedly the backlog will not be sorted out until the fourth quarter (although some think that is a bit optimistic)!

PALMDALE (CBSLA.com) — The B-2 bomber, considered the country’s greatest weapons delivery system, celebrated its 25th anniversary Thursday at a ceremony at Northrop Grumman in Palmdale. At a cost of $1 billion apiece, the stealth bomber continues to draw ooohs and ahhhs from crowds. The radar-evading plane flew overhead in a ceremony commemorating the plane’s maiden flight. CBS2’s Art Barron attended the ceremony, along with hundreds of dignitaries and people instrumental in the plane’s history. Test pilot Bruce Hinds flew the stealth bomber for the first time 25 years ago. Thursday, he suited up in his flight suit and appeared just as excited to see it overhead. “Brings back some good memories,” Hinds said, “And it’s a hell of a good airplane. Doing good service. Wish we had more of them.” Hundreds turned out for this special ceremony, including the program’s biggest ambassador, former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda. “When I first saw the B-2, it took my breath away,” Lasorda told the crowd. “It means to me our military is strong,” Lasorda later told Barron. “We have to have the strongest military in the world.” The tailless, bat wing-shaped aircraft was developed in the early 1980s. More than 40,000 people worked on the $20 billion project. Northrop Grumman was its biggest contractor. “Every day was a new challenge,” said Duke Dufresne, the sector vice president, “and together, we figured it out.” The B-2 will remain in service for at least the next 25 years, reported Barron.

Keeping Airplanes Viable M7 upholds support levels for 750 Merlin/Metro operators worldwide. During the 35-year period between 1965 and 2000- Fairchild Aircraft and its related companies built 1-053 twin-engine turboprop aircraft for the corporate and regional airline markets.

Keeping Airplanes Viable M7 upholds support levels for 750 Merlin/Metro operators worldwide. During the 35-year period between 1965 and 2000- Fairchild Aircraft and its related companies built 1-053 twin-engine turboprop aircraft for the corporate and regional airline markets. Today- approximately 750 of those airplanes are still operating from locations all around the world. The task of supporting those airplanes and keeping them airworthy today is taken up by M7 Aerospace. M7 is located on the International Airport in San Antonio- Texas- and occupies the 426-000 sq. ft. suite of buildings that formerly housed Fairchild Dornier. M7’s owners - entrepreneurs Ted Miller and George Reese of Houston- Texas - acquired the US-based assets of Fairchild Dornier out of bankruptcy in late 2002- combining them with assets of Dornier Aviation North America to form M7. The company began operating as M7 in April- 2003 with three business units – all with ties to the Metro/Merlin fleet. The first M7 business unit was the company’s Parts and Product Support division that supports the Merlin and Metro turboprops. The second was a Government Contracts division- which had a logistics contract with the US Air Force to support a fleet of 22 C-26 utility and reconnaissance aircraft. C-26 is the U.S. military designation for a Fairchild Metro 23. The third M7 business unit was an MRO operation on the San Antonio airport that was the designated depot maintenance facility for the C-26 fleet. Most C-26 maintenance was accomplished at the individual bases where the aircraft were stationed- but for heavy maintenance the airplanes went to San Antonio. Dark and silent The factory where the Metros and Merlins were built- and where Fairchild Dornier had made wings for Dornier 328 airliners- was dark and silent. Coffee cups and paperwork remained where employees had left them when it was announced quite suddenly in April 2002 that Fairchild Dornier was bankrupt and the doors were closed. M7’s management wanted to get the factory restarted- but knew it was necessary to get the rest of the business up and running profitably first. Among the assets M7 acquired were the Type Certificates for the Merlin and Metro aircraft series. This made M7 the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the airplanes. The company also owned the factory where the airplanes were built- and many of the employees who had assembled Merlins and Metros now worked for M7. M7’s management team decided early on that the Merlin/Metro business would be a major part of the company’s strategic initiative for the future. This represented a marked change from the Fairchild Dornier philosophy- which had seen the Merlin/Metro business as part of the company’s past- and something that should be minimized. Under Fairchild Dornier- all Metro/Merlin parts manufacturing activity had been outsourced to make room in the factory to produce wings and other components for the Dornier 328 regional airliner. Now- a few years later- this decision to outsource was beginning to create problems. There was no incentive for the vendors now making the Metro/Merlin parts to keep prices down. As a result- operating costs were beginning to rise and the economic viability of the Metro/Merlin fleet was at risk. Studying the situation- M7’s management saw a perfect solution. By bringing the outsourced work back to M7 they could regain control of the parts cost- thereby helping to ensure the Metro/Merlin fleet would remain viable. At the same time- they could re-start operations in the Fairchild factory on a small and controlled scale- building parts they knew would sell quickly. With the factory up and running- M7 could then compete for manufacturing work from major aerospace prime contractors on other aircraft types. In the fall of 2003- M7 began building its first Merlin/Metro parts. Today- more than 1-200 different Merlin/Metro part numbers are made in M7’s factory- and the parts are available to operators far less expensively than if they were still outsourced. In addition- M7’s factory is now a full-blown business unit- titled Aerostructures Manufacturing. Further to building Metro and Merlin parts- M7’s factory builds parts and assemblies for Boeing- Northrop Grumman- Lockheed Martin- Sikorsky- Agusta/Westland/Bell and others - including prestigious programs like the C-130- F-16- E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and the US101 Presidential Helicopter. Along the way- M7 has developed an Engineering business unit that provides engineering services to M7’s other business units and to outside customers. Design- analysis- prototyping- static and dynamic testing- and certifications are among the services M7’s Engineering unit can provide. Five years on… As M7 approaches the fifth anniversary since its start of operations- supporting the Metro and Merlin fleet around the world continues to be an important element of the company’s overall business strategy. This has been critically important to maintaining the airworthiness and value of these airplanes for their owners. M7 maintains an active inventory of more than 22-000 line items for the various models of the Merlin and the Metro in stock in the warehouses at its San Antonio facility. Customers can go on line at the M7 website (www.m7aerospace.com) to check availability and order parts. The inventory on the website is updated daily to ensure accuracy. An array of parts specialists and technical representatives are employed to discuss customer requirements and assist with ordering during normal business hours- and a 24-hour/seven-day-a-week telephone hot line is available for customers- with AOG requirements. In addition- M7 maintains its own shipping department with multiple pickups during the day from FedEx- UPS and DHL. The San Antonio International Airport has excellent service with domestic and international departures available through the day and consequently- in most instances- parts are shipped the same day they are ordered. M7’s Engineering Department supports the Merlin/Metro fleet- providing U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approved repairs and Service Bulletins. An example of recent Engineering activity to support the Metro/Merlin fleet is a newly-issued Service Bulletin to install a pitot heat warning system. The new system adds a warning light that illuminates if the pitot heat is activated but fails to operate. This was developed specifically to assist Canadian Metro and Merlin operators in response to a Transport Canada requirement to ensure safety in icing conditions. And in 2004 M7 developed and certified a TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) installation for Merlin and Metro aircraft. The TCAS II was designed to meet then-new EASA requirements for turbine-powered business aircraft in Europe. M7 participates actively in an annual Metro Operators’ Conference- at which the company invites operators to supply a list of engineering or operational issues they would like the company to address in the coming year. These issues may address changing operational situations- or regulatory requirements such as the pitot heat warning Service Bulletin discussed above. While not every issue can be addressed every year- M7 selects the issues with the greatest needs- such as those involving changing regulatory requirements- as well as those issues that will benefit the greatest number of operators and have the greatest benefit in relation to the cost required to develop a solution. As another part of its support operation- M7 offers both maintenance and flight crew training for Merlins and Metros- and this is available both at M7’s San Antonio headquarters and at customers’ locations. Manuals and other publications form a critical element of any aircraft support operation- and M7’s is no exception. M7 technical publications- including flight manuals- maintenance manuals- Service Bulletins and other documents are available in paper format or electronically on CDs. The company maintains its own print shop to produce manuals- which are typically generated when ordered to ensure that every publication is entirely up to date. A staff of 50 people forms the core of M7’s Metro/Merlin support operation- but this is augmented by the company’s 22-member engineering staff and the company’s aerostructures manufacturing division. At any one time- as many as 80 M7 employees may be engaged in activity supporting the Merlin and Metro fleets. For the owners and operators of the 750 Fairchild Merlins and Metros still in operation- the emergence of M7 Aerospace as an active and engaged Original Equipment Manufacturer has been very fortunate. Prior to M7- the Merlins and Metros had been well on their way to becoming orphan airplanes- with no sponsor to maintain their continuing airworthiness. The increase in fuel prices around the world has stimulated the market for used turboprops. Many of the Fairchild airplanes that were parked a year ago – particularly Metros – are now actively flying again- many of them in cargo operations and with regional airline operators outside the United States. With M7 Aerospace providing critical support- these airplanes are likely to remain in service for many years to come. More information from www.m7aerospace.com

Tumble in the Sky Things looked good until a few seconds into liftoff. At that point, as it arced hundreds of feet into the air, the launch escape system began to tumble out of control. Von Bengtson and his colleagues haven’t had a chance to fully review the sequence, but he thinks the system’s center of gravity moved toward the center of pressure — the firing rocket nozzles — as the rocket burned through propellent. “If those two centers get too close, you get an unstable rocket,” he said.

We are living in a technological boom where daily we are discovering a brand-new growth. Occasionally you experience a new technology which is a lot more sophisticated and also aids you obtain your job done faster and/or extra successfully. Technology is becoming more so as it is shown in the tech savvy fiction movies where the machines have their own minds. Drones are a modern-day wonder that have impressed not only the armed forces, yet have actually likewise caught the imagination of the usual people too. There are lots of people that would love to purchase a drone for themselves yet these aerial vehicles come with a premium cost. This is why you have to consider various advantages and disadvantages before you reach the stage of acquiring a drone. You could prefer to have a function celebration as well as record those precious minutes at angles and also elevations that look impressive. If you have money to spend after that you can get a drone for your individual use. Nonetheless, like most people, if you’re investing budget is reduced then it is far better to lease a drone rather. There are numerous businesses in the marketplace that supply drone leasing. When it concerns picking acquiring or renting out the drone, you need to take into consideration the advantages and disadvantages of both. Drones are expected to have a wide array of usages in the future but for now using drones is mainly used for photography, while few are using them for surveillance, assessments and also survey as well as mapping functions. So, if you are not a specialist photographer that has to use mini drone frequently, you possibly do not need to acquire it. Just renting out the drone would be an ideal suitable for you as it would enable you to utilize the drone when you have a requirement for it and then return it back when it has actually served its function. Flying the drone is a major issue when making a decision whether to get or lease the drone. If you decide to acquire the drone then you will certainly have to discover how you can fly it too or it will certainly not offer its objective. Nevertheless, renting the drone would certainly spare you from having to discover anything concerning drone flying. The business that rent these aerial Lorries will certainly offer a pilot for you that will take control of the flying tasks. You would certainly just have to tell the pilot what to do as well as he would manage the remainder.

FAA Flight Standards District Office: FAA Grand Rapids FSDO-09 AIRCRAFT ON LANDING, NOSE WHEEL COLLAPSED, MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN Aircraft Make: CIRRUS Aircraft Model: SR20 Event Type: Incident Highest Injury: None Flight Phase: LANDING (LDG) NORTON SHORES, Mich. (WOOD) — No one was hurt when an airplane crashed at the Muskegon County Airport in Norton Shores Sunday afternoon. During a practice landing around 2:15 p.m., the plane’s nose fell off, the plane dropped onto its front and skidded to a stop, according to Muskegon County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Christian Stevens. The plane seats four, but the pilot was the only person on board. She was unhurt. The damage to the plane, a Cirrus SR20, was minor. The Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the mechanical problem. The plane was on a training flight out of Purdue University near West Lafayette, Ind. The pilot has her solo license, but was undergoing further training. She left Purdue Sunday morning and performed another training landing in Traverse City before the crash at the Muskegon County Airport. Sgt. Stevens said there is no indication that she was flying fatigued or under the influence of alcohol. “Shook up understandably,” Stevens said of the pilot. “Again, it was a routine flight, routine landing. And again, as she landed is when the nose gear broke off and at that point it was just a few seconds of the plane landing and then she got out of the plane as quickly as she could.” Family members were coming from Indiana get to get her. The airport was closed for a short time as crews removed the damaged plane from the runway. NORTON SHORES, MICH. - A pilot is OK despite her plane crashing at the Muskegon County Airport. The plane, described as a single-engine aircraft, went down during landing just before 2:20 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 23, Muskegon County Sheriff Dean Roesler said. Its front-nose wheel collapsed and bent upon contact with the ground, causing the aircraft to skid to a stop. The plane appeared to be largely intact and not on fire, a witness told WZZM. "I was sitting in my living room when I heard a fire whistle go off, which I think was kind of unusual," said Terry Knoll, who then went outside to investigate the scene. The pilot is an 18-year-old Indiana woman who was completing some advanced flying time just before the crash, Roesler said. She waved off medical help before ambulances arrived, according to dispatch traffic. Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety board are tasked to continue an investigation. Alcohol nor drugs are not believed to be factors in the crash. MUSKEGON, Mich. — No one was injured in a Sunday afternoon plane crash at the Muskegon County Airport. The incident occurred at 2:18 p.m. Sunday when an airplane nosed into the ground in a heavy crosswind while it was landing at the airport, located at 99 Sinclair Drive south of Muskegon and east of Norton Shores. There was no fire hazard and firefighters soon left the scene.

• Launch: 8 October 1990 • Orbital insertion: 8 February 1992 • End of mission: 30 June 2009 • Agency: NASA/ESA The Ulysses spacecraft was designed as a five-year mission to study the never-before-examined north and south poles of the Sun. Far outliving its planned mission lifetime by 13 years and collecting treasure troves of data on solar wind, interstellar dust and the three-dimensional character of solar radiation, Ulysses became one of the most prolific contributors to knowledge of the solar activity cycle. The spacecraft also performed a number of technical feats including making an unprecedented gravity assist maneuver at Jupiter to hurl itself out of the elliptic plane and into its solar polar orbit.

Current regulations[edit | edit source] In 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a policy notice stating that "no person may operate a UAS in the National Airspace without specific authority." Therefore, currently all drone operators who do not fall within the recreational use exemption discussed below must apply directly to the FAA for permission to fly. Public and civil operators[edit | edit source] Drones operated by federal, state, or local agencies must obtain a certificate of authorization or waiver (COA) from the FAA. After receiving COA applications, the FAA conducts a comprehensive operational and technical review of the drone and can place limits on its operation in order to ensure its safe use in airspace. In response to a directive in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), the FAA recently streamlined the process for obtaining COAs, making it easier to apply on their website. It also employs expedited procedures allowing grants for temporary COAs if needed for time-sensitive missions. Civil operators, or private commercial operators, must receive a special airworthiness certificate in the experimental category in order to operate. These certificates have been issued on a limited basis for flight tests, demonstrations, and training. Presently, there is no other method of obtaining FAA approval to fly drones for commercial purposes. It appears these restrictions will be loosened in the coming years, since the FAA has been instructed to issue a rulemaking that will lead to the phased-in integration of civilian unmanned aircraft into national airspace. Recreational users[edit | edit source] The FAA encourages recreational users of model aircraft, which certain types of drones could fall under, to follow a 1981 advisory circular. Under the circular, users are instructed to fly a sufficient distance from populated areas and away from noise-sensitive areas like parks, schools, hospitals, or churches. Additionally, users should not fly in the vicinity of full-scale aircraft or more than 400 feet above the surface. When flying within three miles of an airport, users should notify the air traffic control tower, airport operator, or flight service station. Compliance with these guidelines is voluntary. Future regulations[edit | edit source] The FMRA instructs the FAA to integrate civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace by the end of FY2015 and implement new standards for public drone operators. This law included provisions describing the comprehensive plan and rulemaking the agency must create to address different aspects of integrating civil drones, restricting the FAA's ability to regulate "model aircraft," and requiring the creation of drone test sites. Civil operators[edit | edit source] The statute instructs the FAA to create a "comprehensive plan to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace" and submit the plan to Congress within one year of enactment. The statute contains a non-exhaustive list of elements that the plan must address, including predictions on how future rulemaking will address the certification process for drones; drone sense and avoid capabilities; and establishing operator or pilot standards, including a licensing and registration system. The plan must also include a timeline for a phased-in approach to integration and ways to ensure the safe operation of civil drones with publicly operated drones in the airspace. The FAA has not yet submitted this comprehensive plan to Congress. FMRA also directs the FAA to promulgate a series of rules, including rules governing the civil operation of small drones in the national airspace and rules implementing the comprehensive plan described above. Additionally, the FAA must update its 2007 policy statement that established the current scheme of drone authorizations. Public operators[edit | edit source] As noted above, the FAA has already implemented a streamlined process for public operators to obtain COAs. In addition to this streamlining, the FMRA instructs the FAA to "develop and implement operations and certification requirements for the operation of public unmanned aircraft systems in the national airspace." Similar to the provisions governing civil users, these standards must be in place by the end of 2015. Recreational users[edit | edit source] In the FMRA, the FAA is prohibited from promulgating rules regarding certain kinds of model aircraft flown for hobby or recreational use. This prohibition applies if the model aircraft is less than 55 pounds, does not interfere with any manned aircraft, and is flown in accordance with a community-based set of safety guidelines. Additionally, the aircraft must be flown within the line of sight of the operator and be used solely for hobby or recreational purposes. If flown within five miles of an airport, the operator of the model aircraft must notify both the airport operator and air traffic control tower. While the FAA is prohibited from writing rules or regulations governing these aircraft, it is not prohibited from pursuing enforcement actions "against persons operating model aircraft who endanger the safety of the national airspace system." Test ranges[edit | edit source] As part of its efforts to integrate drones into the national airspace, the FMRA also directed the FAA to establish six test ranges that will serve as integration pilot projects. As part of the test range program, the FAA must designate airspace for the operation of both manned and unmanned flights, develop certification and air traffic standards for drones at the test ranges, and coordinate with both NASA and the Department of Defense during development. The test ranges should address both civil and public drone operations. In February 2013, the FAA published a notice in the Federal Register announcing the process for selection of the sites. In its words, "[t]he overall purpose of this test site program is to develop a body of data and operational experiences to inform integration and the safe operation of these aircraft in the National Airspace System." As directed in the statute, factors for site selection include geographic and climactic diversity and a consideration of the location of the ground infrastructure needed to support the sites. Additionally, in the notice the FAA announced privacy requirements that will be applicable to operations at test sites.

In accordance with FAA regulations, all jumps must be made with a single harness, dual-parachute system with both a main canopy and a reserve canopy. In other words, you have a spare parachute in case the first one fails to open properly. Additionally, the technology utilized in today’s sport parachuting equipment is light years ahead of the old military surplus gear used in the 60s and 70s. The materials are stronger, lighter and more durable. Plus, modern packing procedures are simpler and the deployment sequence is much more refined, providing smoother openings and softer landings. The main canopy is always packed either by a rigger or by experienced packers under a rigger’s direct supervision. Reserve canopies are subject to even further scrutiny. Reserves must be inspected and repacked every 180 days by an FAA-rated parachute rigger – even if it has not been used during that time. In the event the canopy pilot is unable to deploy the parachute, an AAD – Automatic Activation Device – will automatically deploy the parachute at a specific altitude.

The General Aviation Upset and Stall Testing Aircraft Research (GA-USTAR) project described in this paper aims to develop a dynamically-scaled, Reynolds number corrected, GA aircraft to provide validation data sets for the stall/upset aerodynamic model development. This paper describes the first of three phases of the GA-USTAR project, where the baseline aircraft was developed such that future modifications could be performed to dynamically-scale and then perform Reynolds number corrections to the aircraft. From the possible GA aircraft radio control models available, a 1/5-scale model Cessna 182 was chosen. The aircraft was first built as a radio control model with modifications being made to support future activities. The aircraft was instrumented with a high-fidelity data acquisition system, which was then used to collect baseline flight characteristics of the aircraft. Extensive flight testing was carried out with flight maneuvers performed according flight simulator qualification standards. A sampling of these maneuvers together with all aircraft state details is presented. These maneuvers included idle decent (gliding), elevator-induced phugoid dynamics, roll rate response, rudder response, stall (clean) with low rate elevator deflections, stall (clean) with high rate elevator deflections, and finally stall (half flaps) with high rate elevator deflections. The results presented show high quality aircraft state data that in the future will be used for validation of flight simulation aerodynamic models.
