MetOp in orbit
The MetOp satellite series is a joint programme being carried out by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Meteorological Satellite Organisation (EUMETSAT), with the latter set to operate the spacecraft once they are in orbit.
These new satellites will form the space segment of the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS) and probe the atmosphere with high accuracy. They will circle the globe from pole to pole at an altitude of about 817 km, collecting high-resolution data to complement the hemispheric survey of the atmosphere conducted from geostationary orbit by the Meteosat system.
These new European satellites will be operated in partnership with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) polar weather satellite system, providing data that will be used to monitor our planet’s climate and improve weather forecasting.
NOAA satellites will operate the 'afternoon shift' (i.e. crossing the equator in the afternoon, local time), with Europe’s MetOp taking over the 'morning orbit' service.
The MetOp spacecraft have been developed and built by an industrial team led by EADS Astrium based in Toulouse, France. Three flight models were ordered and have essentially been completed. They will be launched sequentially in order to ensure continuous data delivery up to 2020 at least. Each satellite is 6.5 metres high and weighs about 4 tonnes at launch. MetOp-A, the first in the series, is carrying a suite of instruments which complement each other and existing meteorological satellites systems in terms of data provided.
The first MetOp satellite is currently at the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. There, it is undergoing final preparations for its 7 October launch onboard a Russian Soyuz ST/Fregat rocket operated by Starsem. Lift-off is scheduled for 18:28 CEST (16:28 GMT).
ESA TV will be providing live coverage of the launch from the main mission control room at ESOC, ESA’s space operations centre in Darmstadt, Germany. The initial programme will cover the final 15 minutes of the countdown, lift-off and launcher flight through to upper-stage engine shut-down.
A second live sequence, some 75 minutes later, will cover the spacecraft’s separation from the launcher’s upper stage and spacecraft signal acquisition by mission control. The live broadcast will be available for downloading from the Eutelsat W2 satellite. The MetOp Video News Release will be played three times on 6 and 7 October, on Europe by Satellite, on Hot Bird. Details of all broadcasts will be posted on http://television.esa.int as from 2 October.
You can follow the launch events via the following dedicated websites at: http://www.esa.int/metop and http://www.eumetsat.int.
Media representatives in Europe are invited to follow the launch from ESOC/Darmstadt, which will be serving as the main European guest / press centre (see attached programme).
ESA’s establishments in Noordwijk, the Netherlands (ESTEC), in Frascati, Italy (ESRIN) and in Villafranca, Spain (ESAC) will also be opening their doors to the media for the launch. At each site, ESA specialists will be available for interviews.
Media representatives wishing to attend are asked to complete the attached reply form and fax it to the establishment of their choice.

WICHITA, Kan., Jan. 2, 2020, (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HM Dunn Aerosystems, Inc. today announced the company would provide alternate assignments for team members impacted by Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ and Spirit AeroSystems’ temporary suspension of 737 MAX production. The company does not expect to furlough people at this time due to the recently announced temporary suspension of work on the program.
“Our leadership team worked through the holidays to build a customer and performance focused plan that allows us to keep our team for the future intact,” said Phil Anderson, President and CEO. “We believe in the 737 MAX airplane and are confident that Boeing and regulators will successfully work together to safely return the airplane to service in the near future.” The company plans to provide people alternative assignments on other airplane programs where practical. Those programs include the Boeing 777, 777-X, KC-46A Tanker, B-52, F-15, F-18; Lockheed Martin F-35, F-16, C-130, and CH-53K; Airbus A320; and Gulfstream’s newest business jets the G500/600.
“As a small business in the aerospace industry, diversification is important. Generally, small businesses have less access to sources of capital. In a situation like this, cash reserves and the ability to access additional affordable capital is important,” said Anderson. “While we are managing cash and liquidity closely, a diversified business mix helps a small company navigate the ebbs and flows of the global aerospace industry. Over the past twenty-four months we have strategically focused our efforts on diversification,” said Anderson. “Our success is providing us flexibility in the current situation while creating a stable and growing long-term company.” The company will also use this opportunity to increase volunteer support to the communities where it does business. “We are staying positive and focused on our people, our communities and our customers,” said Anderson. “Taking the opportunity to keep our team intact while making a positive impact in our community is a winning strategy.”

NASA has plans to put a nuclear power plant on the Moon within this decade but it's publicly asking for help to make it happen.
The space agency and the US Department of Energy are asking for ideas on how to build a uranium-powered nuclear reactor and send it to the lunar surface.
A statement from the Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory confirmed it was teaming up with Nasa for the project.
It said the duo were hoping to“establish a durable, high-power, sun-independent power source for NASA missions.”
The US space agency is“seeking proposals from nuclear and space industry leaders” on how the nuclear power system could be created and sent to space inside a 12 foot long, 18-foot wide rocket.
The deadline for proposals is February 19 next year and the aim is to have the lunar nuclear power plant up and running by 2030.
If successful, the reactor could make missions on the Moon a lot easier because it could power a base on the Moon for astronauts.
Jim Reuter, an associate administrator for Nasa's Space Technology Mission Directorate in Washington, DC, explains:“Ample energy will be key to future space exploration.
“I hope fissile surface energy systems will greatly benefit our plans for energy architecture for the Moon and Mars and even spur innovation for solar energy.” used here on Earth.”

As NASA’s new deputy director, she is now tasked with the planning and policy that will make greater human space exploration possible. That means leading the agency’s 18,000 employees and 40,000 contractors toward a successful crewed mission to Mars by the 2030s.
In her own words
Right now, we have five rovers and orbiters exploring Mars. A human mission is a different ballgame. You have to think about stuff like access to water, psychological impact, radiation, and what happens to your muscles and bones in three-eighths of Earth’s gravity. Those are the kinds of things we’re trying to figure out on the International Space Station. The twins experiment, for example, will compare the vital signs of the Kelly brothers—one in space and one on Earth—to see physiological and genetic differences.
“If everyone isn’t talking about our journey to Mars at the dinner table, I want to change that.”
After the ISS, the next phase will be to go beyond low-Earth orbit into cislunar space, the region between Earth and the moon. That will be a proving ground in the 2020s. Then, we’ll move into the neighborhood of Mars. Before we go to the Red Planet itself, we might want to go to one of its two moons. There’s plenty to learn from landing there since the physics is different from here.

Boeing's first 787 Dreamliner, ZA001, flew from Seattle's Boeing field to Palmdale, Calif., for decommissioning Thursday, nearly two years after its much-delayed maiden flight.
"Its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines will be removed and it will remain in long-term storage before finding its way to a permanent spot in a museum," Flightblogger reported.
Boeing rolled out the airplane with much fanfare on July 8, 2007 (7/8/7) but quickly rolled it back into its Everett plant to replace temporary fasteners. And other problems with sections brought in from suppliers added more delays, eventually spurring Boeing to buy the Vought Aerospace Industries and Global Aeronautica plants in North Charleston, S.C.
Boeing delayed first flight by a final six months in June 2009, announcing it needed reinforce areas where the wings met the side of the aircraft. The airplane finally left the ground on Dec. 15, 2009.
During testing, ZA001 completed 518 flights, totaling 1,326 hours and 50 minutes, according to Boeing's 787 flight-test website.
Boeing reclassified the first three 787s to a research and development expense in August 2009, taking a charge of $2.5 billion, because the reworking destroyed the airplanes' commercial value. The first 787 ended up costing Boeing more than $4 billion, company sources told Flightblogger. | aerospace |

This image shows the most recent observations of the 4-kilometre diameter comet, taken on 5 October 2013 by ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) when the comet was around 500 million kilometres away — before it passed behind the Sun and out of view from Earth's perspective.
For this image, a long series of observations was processed to reveal both the comet without the background stars (on the left panel), and the star field with the track of the comet marked (on the right). Viewed against a crowded star field towards the centre of the Milky Way, the comet was still so far from the Sun that the icy nucleus was not releasing any gas or dust, and appears as a simple spot. As it approaches the Sun, its surface will heat up and its ices will sublimate, dragging dust out to form a tail.
The observation marks the start of a close collaboration between ESA and ESO to monitor the comet from the ground during Rosetta's encounter with 67P/CG later this year. Rosetta was launched in 2004 and aims to explore the surface of the comet, deploying a lander down onto 67P/CG to see what its surface is like .
The comet is on a 6.5-year orbit around the Sun and is currently out towards the orbit of Jupiter. It will be closest to the Sun — roughly between the orbits of Earth and Mars — in August 2015. This image suggests that the comet is not yet active, so scientists will be keen to check in on the comet again in February, when it is next observable by the VLT, and much closer to the Sun.
In the meantime, the observations carried out in October have been used to confirm the comet's orbit ahead of the major rendezvous manoeuvre planned for Rosetta in May, to line it up for orbiting 67P/CG in August. Further calculations will be made once Rosetta sights the comet in its own imaging system.
Since its launch, Rosetta has travelled around the Sun five times, picking up speed and aligning itself with its final destination. For the coldest leg of the mission, as Rosetta ventured out beyond the orbit of Jupiter, the spacecraft was put into deep-space hibernation. 67P/CG is on a reasonably stable and well-known orbit, meaning that calculations for Rosetta's trajectory could be made far in advance of the spacecraft's launch, and it is far enough away from the Sun to make it a safe target.

Did you know that the first kites made were made out of leaves? They were used to scare away enemy troops or send signals to their friends! Similar to planes, kites rely on forces of lift and thrust to fly in the air. As wind passes through it’s wings, a pressure gradient is formed. There is lower pressure above the wing and higher pressure below the wing. This allows the upward force, lift, to act upon the kite, allowing it to fly rather than being pulled down to the ground by gravity. Try making your own simple kite!

Edmonds College and its Washington Aerospace Training and Research Center are helping to train skilled aviation workers for the state and the nation. In 2001, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell helped land initial funding to help grow a training program in advanced aviation materials started at Edmonds CC. Since then, the college's capacity in aerospace training and advanced manufacturing training has grown.
News release via U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA) applauded the Senate’s passage of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization bill. The bill reauthorizes the FAA through 2015, accelerates the air traffic control system’s conversion to a GPS-based network, known as NextGen, and provides stable funding to invest in airport infrastructure. The reauthorization will support 12,000 Washington state construction and related jobs over its lifetime. The legislation has already passed the House and now heads to President Obama for his signature.
“This bipartisan bill is a winner for aviation innovation and job growth in Puget Sound,” said Cantwell, the Chair of the Senate Aviation Subcommittee. “It will support 12,000 Washington jobs as Washington’s airports modernize to support regional growth. This long overdue bill will help bring our aviation navigation system into 21st century GPS technology. That means friendlier skies, fewer delays for travelers, greater efficiency for airlines, and new aviation jobs.”
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s most recent Air Travel Consumer Report, 13 percent of flights to Sea-Tac didn’t arrive on time, while 9 percent of flights from the airport didn’t depart on time. The causes of delay are numerous and depend on factors in multiple airports.
Implementing NextGen, a GPS-based air traffic control system, will allow aircraft to move more precisely into and out of airports and allow large airports to better operate multiple runways simultaneously. The FAA estimates that NextGen would reduce flight delays by at least 20 percent nationwide by 2018 – making the entire system more efficient and effective.
Sea-Tac’s “Greenier Skies” initiative, a pilot project of advanced flight navigation technology, is giving airports around the nation a model for how to transition to NextGen technology and demonstrating its benefits. Thanks to fewer delays and more direct flight paths, Sea-Tac estimates that NextGen and Greener Skies will save a combined 175,000 gallons of fuel each month and reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 22,400 metric tons, or the equivalent of taking 4,100 cars off the road.
Developing NextGen is helping support local innovators, like GE Naverus in Kent. The company employs 70 people and is a leader in designing the software for precision landing and takeoffs using GPS. The FAA bill also extends the authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials for Transportation Aviation Structures (AMTAS) at the University of Washington.
Research performed at AMTAS helped develop the composite processing and adhesive bonding that contributed towards successful FAA certification of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
Beyond expanding the marketplace for aviation innovators, the FAA bill will also support construction jobs. The FAA bill creates stable funding for Airport Improvement Funds (AIP) to expand airport capacity and to improve infrastructure and safety. Over the lifetime of the FAA bill, the AIP grants will support more than 300,000. In 2011, Sea-Tac was awarded nearly $20 million in AIP grants to help construct a new runway and infrastructure to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft.
Increasing capacity for passengers and planes are key uses of the AIP grants. Lack of airport capacity is a cause of delay in airports nationwide. Typically, when airport utilization capacity hits 60 percent, it indicates a need to plan for expansion, while 70 percent capacity causes dramatic delays. According to a study by the Washington State Department of Transportation, Sea-Tac will exceed 100 percent of its operating capacity by 2030.
The FAA modernization comes at a crucial time. America’s passengers and cargo airlines drive nearly 11 million jobs and $1.2 trillion in annual economic activity, yet America is the only Western nation that still relies on a 60-year-old, ground-based air traffic control system instead of the more efficient, satellite-based system used by other developed nations. Projections indicate a significant increase in demand for air travel over the next 15 years, and the nation’s current air traffic system is quickly reaching its capacity.
As chair of the Senate Aviation Subcommittee, Cantwell has long championed the FAA reauthorizations. During last week’s hearing, Committee Chairman Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) recognized her leadership in support of the effort:
“[Senator Cantwell has] worked tirelessly to get this bill done,” Rockefeller said. “She’s made substantial contributions to the entire bill both in the area of slots but most notably on NextGen. And just for our Committee’s interest, from my point of view, I told her at the caucus that she was going to be the point-person on NextGen. She’s brilliant on technology and all those things and she’s very organized. So this bill marks the first of many major contributions she’s going to make.”
Cantwell has long fought to advance and modernize the nation’s aviation economy and skilled workforce. Soon after taking office, she passed legislation as part of a previous FAA reauthorization bill creating AMTAS at the University of Washington.
The center leads the industry’s research of advanced aviation materials, such as composites and aluminum alloys, for use in future aircraft.
In 2001, Cantwell also helped land initial funding to help grow a training program in advanced aviation materials started in the late '90s at Edmonds College.
Since then, several other training programs at the state level have spun off from these initial programs and are currently helping to produce skilled aviation workers for the state and nation using state and federal funds. | aerospace |

Ukrainian soldiers landed another Russian “bird”. The next target was the Su-30SM fighter, one of the newest aircraft of the Russian Federation.
It is reported UNIAN with reference to Ukrainian military correspondent Andrii Tsaplienko.
The enemy fighter with the flight number RF81771 was probably shot down in the Kharkiv region. It was one of the newest aircraft of the Russian Federation that bombards the region.
“Cost $50 million. Produced by the Irkutsk Aircraft Plant in 2018 and transferred to the 14th Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment, which is located in the city of Kursk, near the Ukrainian border. The deputy commander of the regiment, Serhiy Kosyk, was shot down in March and is in captivity on the territory of Ukraine,” the journalist notes.
At the same time, military commander Roman Bochkala published a photo of an open parachute for the pilot. He probably ejected. There is no information about his fate.

On July 16, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins launched atop a Saturn V rocket toward the moon. The 8-day NASA mission captivated the planet as Armstrong and Aldrin explored the lunar surface on July 20, supported by Michael Collins who orbited overhead. 46 years after the first successful landing of the Apollo program, we've dug into the NASA archives to find some familiar and some not-so-familiar views of the Apollo 11 mission. All photos and captions can be found inNASA's Human Spaceflight Gallery

Among real space explorers, few songs have resonated as powerfully as David Bowie’s iconic “Space Oddity,” the soulful ballad of a solitary fictional astronaut, Major Tom. Bowie, who died on Sunday from cancer, published the song as a single in July 1969 — the year and month of the first Apollo moon landing.
Bowie has said he was inspired to write the song after watching Stanley Kubrick’s epic film “2001: A Space Odyssey,” which came out a year earlier.
The song opens with Major Tom launching into space. Ground Control tells him “Take your protein pills and put your helmet on … Commencing countdown, engines on … Check ignition and may God’s love be with you.”
Once in space, the accolades pour in.
“You’ve really made the grade,” Ground Control tells Major Tom. “The papers want to know whose shirts you wear.”
Then it’s time for work — a spacewalk — and Major Tom picks up the storyline:
“I’m stepping through the door
And I’m floating in a most peculiar way.
And the stars look very different today
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do.”
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield was so inspired by Bowie’s song that he made a music video of “Space Oddity” while he was aboard the International Space Station in 2013, catapulting the song back into the public eye.
“Ashes to ashes, dust to stardust. Your brilliance inspired us all. Goodbye Starman,” Hadfield posted on Twitter on Monday.
NASA added, “And the stars look very different today. RIP David Bowie.”
Here’s a link to Bowie’s first television performance of “Space Oddity,” circa 1970. Love the pink bell-bottoms:

|Author||Dr Jeremy Sanders|
|Description||Despite its importance for understanding cluster physics, there are few direct measurements of the ICM velocity structure. Hitomi measured line broadening in Perseus through its groundbreaking high resolution spectrum, but due to its loss we may have to wait until Athena.s 2028 launch to obtain similar data. Here we propose a novel technique to use the fluorescent background emission lines seen in the EPIC-PN detector to calibrate the energy scale to a high precision and so measure bulk motions within the Virgo and Centaurus clusters. We shall reach accuracies of 100-200 km-s around the inner 7 arcmin, increasing to 400 km-s at 16 arcmin radius. Secondary aims include using the RGS grating spectra to constrain-measure the velocity of cool material around the central AGN.|

|Mission Description||The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations.
Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.

Cometh the Blackhat conference, cometh new hacking techniques. We earlier had reported about the Spectra attack which will be showcased at the virtual Blackhat conference on August 2020. The Spectra attack can be used to exploit the combo-chips vulnerability of Broadcom and Cypress powered iPhones, macOS PCs, Laptops, and Samsung Galaxy S series smartphones.
Now we have another hacker cum security researcher who will demonstrate how he managed to hack into million-dollar satellites using just $300 common TV equipment. James Pavur who is a DPhil student at Oxford University has managed to hack into the multi-million dollar satellites using puny $300 common TV equipment. The hack also allowed him to download terabytes of confidential transmission that is passed through satellites every day.
Pavur says he used the $300 TV equipment to hack into the satellites using two distinct satellite communications protocols: DVB-S MPE and DVBS-2 GSE and hijack their communications sessions. The researcher says that any potential hacker could use the same $300 TV equipment to spy on these communications satellites from thousands of miles away with virtually no risk of detection. The data transmitted through these satellites is confidential and could cause harm to world militaries, economies, etc.
Pavur’s discovery could cause problems for big satellite launching countries like the US, China, India, and tech companies who use satellites for communications. The risks rise exponentially as the number of satellites in orbit is expected to increase from approximately 2,000 today to more than 15,000 by 2030. Elon Musk’s SpaceX alone has permission to launch 12,000 satellites by then.
Pavur will demonstrate how he used the $300 TV equipment to hack into active sessions via satellite link during the upcoming Blackhat conference. | aerospace |

Abstract: The Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) combines advanced technologies to observe surface thermal properties and atmospheric weather and chemistry variables in four dimensions. Large area format Focal Plane detector Arrays (LFPAs) provide near instantaneous large area coverage with high horizontal resolution. A Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) enables atmospheric radiance spectra to be observed simultaneously for all LFPA detector elements thereby providing high vertical resolution temperature and moisture sounding information. The fourth dimension, time, is provided by the geosynchronous satellite platform, which enables near continuous imaging of the atmosphere's three-dimensional structure. The key advances that GIFTS achieves beyond current geosynchronous capabilities are: (1) the water-vapor winds will be altitude-resolved throughout the troposphere, (2) surface temperature and atmospheric soundings will be achieved with high spatial and temporal resolution, and (3) the transport of tropospheric pollutant gases (i.e., CO and O3) will be observed. GIFTS will be launched in 2005 as NASA's third New Millennium Program (NMP) Earth Observing (EO-3) satellite mission, and will serve as the prototype of sounding systems to fly on future operational geosynchronous satellites. After a one-year validation period in view of North America, the GIFTS will be repositioned to become the Navy’s Indian Ocean METOC Imager (IOMI). In this presentation we describe the GIFTS technology and provide examples of the GIFTS remote sensing
capabilities using aircraft interferometer data. The GIFTS is an important step in implementing the NASA Earth Science Enterprise vision of a sensor web for future Earth observations.
I. Introduction A new era is about to begin in hyper-spectral remote sensing, namely the implementation of hyper-spectral remote sounding systems. The Geosynchronous Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS), selected for flight demonstration as NASA’s New Millennium Program (NMP) Earth Observing-3 (EO-3) mission, combines new and emerging sensor and data processing technologies to acquire revolutionary geophysical measurements that should lead to dramatic improvements in weather forecasting. The GIFTS is an important development for realizing a sensor web around the globe for future Earth observations. This sensor web would enable the “2020 vision” of the global meteorological community to become reality; “By the year 2020, mankind will have the technology (observations and models) to digitize the earth’s surface and its atmosphere with a resolution of 1 km and 1 minute And every individual on earth will have personal and timely access to weather observations and accurate weather forecasts through a “palm” computer/display unit.” The NOAA, Navy, and Air Force are partners with NASA in moving forward to realize this vision in the execution of the GIFTS program; the NOAA will provide the ground processing system to demonstrate the operational utility of the data; the Navy will
provide the spacecraft and support the operation of GIFTS after the NMP phase of the program as its Indian Ocean METOC Instrument (IOMI); and the Air Force will provide the launch of the GIFTS-IOMI satellite to geosynchronous orbit using a new Delta IV rocket multiple payload launch capability developed under their Space Test Program (STP). The GIFTS uses large area format focal plane (LFPA) infrared (IR) detector arrays (128 x 128) in a Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) mounted on a geosynchronous satellite to gather high spectral resolution (0.6 cm –1) and high spatial resolution (4-km footprint on the Earth) infrared radiance spectra over a large geographical area (512-km x 512-km) within a 10-second time interval. A low visible light level camera provides quasi-continuous imaging of clouds at 1-km footprint spatial resolution. Extended Earth coverage is achieved by step scanning the instrument field of view in a contiguous fashion across any desired portion of the visible Earth. The radiance spectra observed at each time step are transformed to high vertical resolution temperature and water vapor mixing ratio profiles using rapid profile retrieval algorithms. These profiles are obtained on a 4km grid and then converted to relative humidity profiles. Images of the horizontal distribution of relative humidity for atmospheric levels, vertically separated by approximately 2 km, are constructed for each spatial scan. The sampling period will range from minutes to an hour, depending upon the spectral resolution and the area coverage selected for the measurement. Successive images of clouds and the relative humidity for each atmospheric level are then animated to reveal the motion of small-scale thermodynamic features of the atmosphere, providing a measure of the wind velocity distribution as a function of altitude. The net result is a dense grid of temperature, moisture, and wind profiles which can be used for atmospheric analyses and operational weather prediction. O3 and CO features observed in their spectral radiance signatures provide a measure of the transport of these pollutant and greenhouse gases. It is the unique combination of the Fourier transform spectrometer and the large area format detector array (i.e., an imaging interferometer), and the geosynchronous satellite platform, that enables the revolutionary wind profile and trace gas transport remote sensing measurements.

It is the unique combination of the Fourier transform spectrometer and the large area format detector array (i.e., an imaging interferometer), and the geosynchronous satellite platform, that enables the revolutionary wind profile and trace gas transport remote sensing measurements. GIFTS will view areas of the Earth with a linear dimension of about 500-km, anywhere on the visible disk, for a period between 0.125 and 10.0 sec, depending on the data application (i.e., imaging or sounding). GIFTS uses two detector arrays within a Michelson interferometer to cover the spectral bands, 685 to 1130 cm -1 and 1650 to 2250 cm -1 (Figure 1), to achieve a wide range of spectral resolutions (figure 2). These spectral characteristics are optimized to achieve all technology/scientific validation objectives of GIFTS, as well as the sounding accuracy desired for a future operational sounding system.
Fig. 1. GIFTS spectral coverage with 2 detector arrays with the spectral regions of key radiatively active atmospheric trace gases. The Michelson interferometer, or FTS, approach for geosynchronous satellite applications allows spectral resolution to be easily traded for greater area coverage or higher temporal resolution. The 4-km footprint size of the IR LFPAs enables sounding to the ground under most broken-to- scattered cloud situations and resolving small scale atmospheric water vapor and cloud features required for wind profiling.
radiometric requirements for the primary high spectral resolution sounding mode is sufficient to insure the performance of other GIFTS imaging and lower vertical resolution sounding modes. The only other necessary constraints are that the time required to point the field-of-view to an adjacent region on Earth be less than 1 sec and that the pointing knowledge be better than 0.4 km for wind determination.
Fig. 2. Example operating modes for GIFTS Figure 2 shows the area coverage, measurement frequency, spectral resolution, and geophysical measurement for example modes of operation for GIFTS. Quasi-continuous imagery of localized areas and minute-interval imagery of large-scale areas can be achieved. Relatively high spectral resolution (36 cm -1) full disk imagery will be obtained in less than 10 min. High vertical resolution soundings and atmospheric chemistry measurements with GIFTS require 0.6 cm –1 spectral resolution and a longer stare time, thereby reducing the area coverage and/or frequency of observation relative to the imagery mode of operation. Nevertheless, GIFTS will cover a major portion of the visible disk with high vertical resolution soundings in less than one hour; and regions the size of CONUS and surrounding oceans will be observed with a half hourly frequency. This feature is important for obtaining wind profiles from geosynchronous temperature and moisture sounding data. The significance of the lower spectral resolution (i.e., 1.2 cm-1) sounding mode is that twice the area coverage or a doubling of the refresh rate can be achieved by sacrificing the vertical resolution, and consequently the accuracy, of the sounding products. The radiometric noise and accuracy requirements for the retrieval of temperature and water vapor in the highest spectral resolution (0.6 cm-1) mode with a 10 sec dwell time are: (1) Noise Equivalent Radiance (NEN) in the LW spectral band (685-1130 cm -1 ) 240 K for the SW/MW band. Periodic views of onboard references and cold space will be used to realize this high calibration accuracy. Achieving these
The expected sounding performance of GIFTS has been determined by radiance simulation and the results are shown in figure 3 below. As shown, for the GIFTS maximum spectral resolution of 0.6 cm-1, a vertical profiling accuracy of 1 K / 1 km layer and 15% / 2 km layer temperature and moisture, respectively, profiling accuracy should be achieved. These accuracies are similar to those to be achieved by the advanced sounding instruments to fly aboard future polar orbiting operational satellites (i.e., the European METOP and the US NPOESS). The added features of GIFTS are its high spatial and high temporal resolution being provided from geostationary altitude. It is this added feature which enables GIFTS to achieve its primary measurement objective of measuring atmospheric wind profiles.

II. Primary Measurement Objective and Forecast Applications The primary measurement objective of GIFTS is to profile atmospheric wind velocity. This is accomplished by the ability of GIFTS to measure the geographical distribution of temperature and water vapor as a function of time and altitude. The temperature and water vapor profiles are transformed into profiles of relative humidity; patches of high humidity have the appearance of clouds and move with the
wind in the manner that ice and water clouds move with the wind. Since water vapor motion is a good tracer of the wind velocity, GIFTS is able to observe the three dimensional wind velocity structure of the atmosphere. Aircraft measurements obtained from the NASA ER-2 aircraft from a 20 km flight altitude by the NPOESS Aircraft Sounder Testbed – Interferometer show that the intended temperature, moisture, and wind profiling capability should be achievable with GIFTS. The NAST-I measurements cover the spectral range of the GIFTS and, like GIFTS, possess a high spatial resolution (~4 km dependent upon scan angle and altitude). Figure 4 shows a derived temperature profile and a cross-section for atmospheric relative humidity in the vicinity of Andros Island Bahamas. The spatial detail of the retrieved humidity distribution is particularly noteworthy. Most of the fine scale vertical details shown in the radiosonde validation data are displayed by the NAST soundings.

Fig. 5. NAST-I measurements of the water vapor humidity at three different levels observed with the NAST-I aboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft
flying over Andros Island, Bahamas, on September 12, 1998. The images shown in figure 5 are obtained from two successive passes of the ER-2, over a 60 km x 40 km cloud free area, with a 49 minute time separation. It can be seen from the apparent motion of the water molecules that the winds change with altitude being west to south westerly at low altitudes and backing to easterlies at high altitudes. These data illustrate the ability to measure atmospheric wind velocity as a function of altitude. Wind measurements, together with the temperature and humidity measurements, as a function of pressure altitude will be provided by GIFTS with high spatial and temporal resolution and broad geographical coverage. It is this revolutionary advance in meteorological observation capability which is expected to have dramatic impacts on weather forecasting capability. For example, the ability to observe water vapor flux and convergence and divergence patterns should enable meteorologists to view the formation of storm systems before clouds and rainfall are produced. The GIFTS three dimensional water vapor imaging capability, which will reveal the upward spiral of water vapor associated with a convective storm, will alert meteorologists to where and when severe storms will occur before they are visible in satellite cloud imagery or from ground based RADAR systems. This new observation capability will enable advanced warnings to the public residing in the areas of storm formation. The winds observed in the environment of an already developed storm will also enable meteorologists and numerical prediction models to predict where the storm will move. This capability is important for providing advanced warnings to population centers downstream of a developed storm. The GIFTS capability to provide these environmental winds as a function of altitude over oceanic areas is particular value for warning those who reside in coastal areas where a hurricane will landfall. Most important for realizing the “2020 Vision” mentioned above, the GIFTS high density temperature and moisture profile data can be continuously assimilated into advanced numerical weather prediction models of the atmosphere to enable complete diagnoses of the atmospheric state at any instant of time. The numerical model is important for filling in the space and time gaps in the global observing system through spatial interpolations and time
extrapolations of the observations provided through the numerical integration of the dynamical equations governing the changing state of the atmosphere. Given a quasicontinuous and spatially dense coverage of the atmospheric temperature and moisture is expected to force the data assimilation system to accurately simulate the dynamics of the atmosphere leading to initial conditions which should enable more precise and longer range numerical weather predictions. III. Conclusions GIFTS will usher in a new era of rapid advances in remote sensing from geostationary meteorological satellites. The three state parameters, temperature, humidity, and wind velocity, will all be measured in a near real time fashion. Once the wind profiling measurement concept is validated using a one year data set acquired during the first year in view of CONUS, the GIFTS-IOMI satellite will be moved to an Indian Ocean position near 75 E in order to support the Navy fleet operating in this part of the world. The technology to be demonstrated with GIFTS will be the basis for the development of remote sounding and imaging systems for future operational satellites. Once this technology is implemented aboard the international system of geostationary satellites, they will become an important element of the sensor web envisioned to provide a quasi-complete set of global observations as required for precise and extended range numerical weather predictions. Thus, the GIFTS technology, together with other observation systems being implemented on low altitude satellites, aircraft, and on the ground, will enable the “2020 Vision” to be realized; “By the year 2020, mankind will have the technology (observations and models) to digitize the earth’s surface and its atmosphere with a resolution of 1 km and 1 minute And every individual on earth will have personal and timely access to weather observations and accurate weather forecasts through a “palm” computer/display unit.” | aerospace |

Saturday, December 2, 2006
"The long-term survival of the human race is at risk as long as it is confined to a single planet," he said during a Thursday radio interview with BBC. "Sooner or later, disasters such as an asteroid collision or nuclear war could wipe us all out. But once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe."
The idea of 'warp drive', popularized by science fiction writers and televised in the series Star Trek, enables space ships to travel vast distances in a short time.
"Unfortunately, this would violate the scientific law which says that nothing can travel faster than light," said Hawking.
By using a yet-to-be developed 'matter/anti-matter annihilation' propulsion system, space travel velocities could approach the speed of light, according to Hawking. The closest stars could be reached in 6 years. "It wouldn't seem so long for those on board," he said.

Oct 19, 2008 5 comments
NASA’s IBEX satellite blasted off today to begin its mission to map the outer reaches of the solar system. The spacecraft was launched from an aircraft high above the South Pacific and will soon settle into a very high altitude Earth orbit, where it will study how ions in the solar wind interact with the plasma from interstellar space.
Scientists hope that IBEX will tell us more about the shape of the solar system’s protective “bubble”, which is created by the solar wind and shields us from harmful galactic cosmic rays.
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles emitted from the Sun in all directions and forms the protective region around the Sun known as the heliosphere. Without this bubble, radiation from outer space would make manned space flight extremely dangerous.
The solar wind collides with plasma in the interstellar medium some 10–20bn km from the Sun at the so-called termination shock. Beyond this, in a region known as the heliosheath, the solar wind slows down dramatically, becomes heated and turbulent. The heliosheath extends for several billion kilometres further from the Sun and its end marks the edge of the solar system.
A ‘global view’ of the heliosphere
Over the past four years the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft have both crossed the termination shock and sent back spectacular data on this region. However, as IBEX principal investigator David McComas explains, these data tell us only about the specific points at which the spacecraft crossed the termination shock. “It’s like having two excellent weather stations that provide detailed reports of the weather in their areas, but not having the satellite data that tell you how the weather fronts are changing,” he says. “For this global view we need IBEX.”
IBEX, being one of NASA’s small, low-cost Explorer missions, will be launched by a rocket released from the underside of an aircraft. The rocket will climb to about 200 km above the Earth’s surface, at which point an additional rocket will fire and send IBEX into a high-altitude orbit. Taking IBEX some 5/6 of the way to the Moon, this orbit will allow the satellite to spend much of its time outside of the Earth’s magnetosphere and therefore free from potential interference.
Once in position, IBEX will use two sensors to collect neutral hydrogen atoms that form when protons from the solar wind combine with electrons from interstellar neutral atoms drifting into the heliosphere, with some portion of these hydrogen atoms deflected back towards the Sun by their motion about the solar magnetic field lines. Because the satellite spins as it moves along its orbit, it will, over the course of six months, collect particles from every part of the sky. By measuring the direction from which the particles arrive, their time of arrival, their mass and their energy, McComas and colleagues will be able to build up a full-sky map showing the distribution of these particles and their energies.
How does the solar wind slow down?
Analysing this map will then allow the researchers to work out the interaction between the solar wind and the interstellar medium along the full length of the termination shock. For example, it will tell them whether the slowing down of the solar wind is fairly uniform in all directions or whether there are some places where it occurs abruptly and others where it takes place more slowly. It will also reveal the overall shape of the heliosphere, which might be affected by density fluctuations and field lines in the interstellar medium.
The mission has a nominal lifetime of two years but all of its components are designed to last for four and could last even longer, says McComas.

Under the leadership of Harry Hillaker father of the original Fthe original goal of the program was to be a quick project to demonstrate the applicability of supersonic transport technologies to military aircraft. The F's electronic flight control system was tweaked to allow control at high angles of attack.
The wing was also a big fuel tank which greatly increased range. The study went on for two years. The goal of the cranked arrow was to have a high sweep inboard panel for low drag at supersonic speeds, and a low sweep outboard panel to provide better handling and maneuverability at subsonic speeds.
It featured all moving wing tips for roll control and an all moving vertical tail. These surfaces were actually the horizontal tail surfaces from the FA. These surfaces were later dropped as they did not provide adequate control at low speed, high angle of attack. Also, there would have been no provision for wing-tip mounted missiles.
The main wing incorporated forebody strakes to enhance vortex generation for high angle of attack maneuverability, negative stability for improved subsonic lift and reduced supersonic drag.
It was built around a inch fuselage stretch. Both the large wing and fuselage stretch yielded a dramatic increase in range at all speeds. These two airframes became the only examples of the FXL.
The concept envisioned an aircraft capable of launching deep interdiction missions without requiring additional support in the form of fighter escort or jamming support.
Though the two aircraft were competing for the same role, they were fairly different in design approach. The FE is basically an FD two-seat trainer with the back-seat station modified to support ground-attack instruments, while the FXL has major structural and aerodynamic differences from the original F As such, the XL would have required much more effort, time and money to put into full production.
Furthermore, engine redundancy can be very useful for an aircraft whose mission involves operating within the reach of anti-aircraft artillery and surface-to-air missilesin addition to the standard threats of fighter aircraft and interceptors.

The first major step taken to enrich Nigerian Air Force Research & Capability was the establishment of the Air Force Research & Development Centre in 2015. This was aimed at pulling of the Nigerian Air Force’s post-graduate degree holders in the aerospace vehicle design and related fields, together to form the nucleus of the Nigerian Air Force research activities.
About 19 PhD and over 60 Masters Degree holders were given the mandate. The second step was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding with selected Nigerian universities, polytechnics and other research agencies.
The success achieved by the NAF Research & Development Centre has further led to the establishment in March 2018 of a separate centre, the Nigerian Air Force Central Avionics Overhaul and Calibration Centre in Kaduna, for research into…

Study: SpaceX Three Times Cheaper Than NASA
A SpaceX Falcon 9 undergoes final integration at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Image source: SpaceX.com.
Florida Today columnist John Kelly reports that, "Using a sophisticated model developed by the space agency and the Air Force," it cost SpaceX $443 million to develop the Falcon 9 but if it had been developed by NASA the cost would have been $1.4 billion.
To be clear, these are not SpaceX numbers. These are figures vetted by NASA and the Air Force. So, a long-standing cry that SpaceX is exaggerating its potential cost savings appears to be ill-founded.
At a broad level, the analysts determined that NASA's way would cost more because it would employ more people overall, add extra layers of management and construct more ground support "infrastructure" to get the job done. SpaceX also told the investigators that they keep as much work as possible inside their organization because "every dollar sent out of the company actually costs between $3 and $5 based on subcontractor overhead and profit."

The Memphis-based regional airline reached agreements that include an amendment to its debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility to give the airline $30 million of additional liquidity and another $22 million to satisfy payments under a bridge agreement and related taxes for pilots. Pinnacle says that the bridge funds cover transitional payments, furlough benefits and career opportunities.
The maturity date for the credit facility was extended to 15 May 2013 from 1 April.
Pinnacle announced it had reached a tentative agreement with pilots on 17 December, which is subject to ratification by 15 January and accepted by the bankruptcy court. Pilot voting on that agreement is set to start on 4 January, Pinnacle says.
Under that agreement, Pinnacle set its long-term fleet plan at 81 Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft, with 40 new aircraft scheduled to enter its fleet between the third quarter of 2013 and the end of 2014. It plans to remove the Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft in its fleet "over the next two to three years".
In a hotline message from Pinnacle' ALPA master executive council to pilots on 17 December, the union told pilots that it did not anticipate any of the CRJ200s leaving the fleet before June 2013. It also told pilots that it expected furloughs in the first quarter of 2013, but the number would likely be less than 200 pilots. It told the pilots that it expected to need extra pilots throughout 2013 to support the large number of pilots training for the incoming CRJ900 aircraft and the transition away from turboprop flying.
Pinnacle presently operates 54 CRJ900s for Delta, 41 of which came into the fleet when it acquired Mesaba in 2010. It is removing 13 owned CRJ900s from its fleet early this year under lease as part of its restructuring plan.
Pinnacle filed for bankruptcy on 1 April 2012 and has until 15 February to submit a reorganisation plan to the bankruptcy court that is acceptable to Delta. This is beyond a previous extension that Pinnacle and Delta agreed to on 27 December, which had set 31 January as the deadline for the reorganisation plan. | aerospace |

Review of Iranian Khaybar Shekan missile, the longest tactical ballistic missile in the world!
On February 9, 2022, during the visit of the Chief of General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, and the Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, to one of Iran’s underground missile bases, the Khaybar Shekan (Khaybar Breaker) tactical short-range ballistic missile was unveiled.
The unveiling of this missile on the eve of the forty-third anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, and especially the unique name of this missile, attracted many attention and reactions around the world. “Khaybar” refers to the famous war between Muslims and Jews in the early years of Islam and the victory of Muslims over the Jews after Imam Ali (as) threw down the door of the final fort.
The first thing that catches the eye in the Khaybar Shekan missile is the relatively larger dimensions of its warhead movable fins. Increasing the size of the fins, increases the maneuverability of the warhead after entering the atmosphere and allows for more sophisticated and faster maneuvers in order to pass more effectively through layers of in-atmosphere anti-missile defenses such as the David Sling and Patriot.
The warhead configuration is of Tri Conic type. The use of this conservative configuration is to maintain the stability of the warhead during heavy maneuvers and in the landing phase causes high maneuverability to pass through the layers of missile defense systems. Of course, the amount of drag in this configuration is a bit high. In engineering, increasing the drag force is intended by the weapon designer to achieve greater maneuverability.
Unfortunately, the exact details of the missile, such as weight, length, diameter, warhead weight, etc., have not been officially provided by Iranian officials; But according to estimates, the diameter of the missile is 800 mm and its length is about 10.5 meters.
Due to the reflection of light from the missile body and its texture, it seems to be a composite body material, which means low deadweight of engine. Therefore, the missile weighs between 4.5 and 5 tons, assuming the weight of the warhead is 500 kg, which is a unique number for a short-range ballistic missile with a range of 1450 km. At the time of unveiling, it was mentioned that the weight of this missile has been reduced to one third, which is consistent with one third of the mass of the 15-ton Qadr S missile.
Extreme agility and speed in hitting targets at a range of 1450 km is one of the main capabilities of this missile.
As mentioned, this missile is based on the Dezful missile and with a weight of 30% of liquid fuel missiles, it has achieved the range of the same missiles. Therefore, this missile has solid fuel, and due to the reduction of dimensions and weight of this missile, it is possible to use two missiles of this type on dual launchers.
Smaller missile dimensions have significant advantages. The smaller the missile, the more missiles can be stored in the confined space of underground missile bases. Also, the need for drilling to increase the length of the tunnels and the cost and time is reduced. It should be noted that in the past, due to the lack of space for missiles, the IRGC Aerospace Force implemented the idea of multi-floor missile depots.
Another advantage of reducing the dimension of missiles is the use of a wide range of launchers; So that the Khaybar Shekan ballistic missile can be launched from the Iran Khodro Diesel’s Aria 10-wheel launcher. This truck has recently joined the Iranian Armed Forces.
Another item that was revealed with the unveiling of Khaybar Shekan missile is the use of a dual launcher that have the ability to carry and launch up to two Khaybar Shekan short-range missiles. Until now, short-range missiles, such as Iranian Qiam missiles with a maximum range of 1,000 km, were carried by the launcher as a single unit; Increasing the number of missiles means increasing the firing rate, which is a very effective and proven tactic in overcoming on missile defense systems.
Another important issue that occurred during the unveiling of the Khaybar Shekan missile, which led to much speculation, was the naming of the missile and the type of warhead: Khaybar Shekan (Breaker). At first, it looked like a bunker buster warhead, but with the release of more footage of the missile firing and hitting the target, the bunker buster warhead theory was rejected due to the angular impact on the target and how it exploded instantly. Of course, the possibility of developing a bunker buster warhead for this missile is quite possible. However, in the unveiling footage of the missile, the missile uses the HE warhead, which according to the commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, Sardar Hajizadeh, the explosive used in the warhead, is several times more than its TNT equivalent, and provides more explosive power. Therefore, a combination of RDX and HMX has probably been used to provide such performance.
Khaybar Shekan missile specifications:
Length: ~ 10.5 m
Diameter: ~ 0.8 m
Weight: 4500 kg
Warhead: High Explosive up to 500 kg
Fuel: Solid (One-stage)
Range: 1450 km
Flight trajectory: Ballistic

After the success of the Riot we have been constantly asked for a follow up model that builds on all the best attributes of the Riot but in a low wing model.
We think we've nailed it! Not only does the Ruckus fly superbly it looks gorgeous too.
Capable of flying on either 3 or 4 cell LiPo the Ruckus can be set up to be a tame first low wing plane or turn the control throws up and fly every aerobatic manouervre you can thing of; it will even prop hang!
We worked hard on the design to make sure the model was tough and could put up with the abuse you will throw at itbut without adding too much weight thanks in part to the tough EPOFLEXY construction and clever build structure.

“City lights, stars, lightning storms, even satellite flares – A composite of individual photos stacked on top of each other to show all the amazing things we see at night out our window,” Koch wrote in the accompanying caption to the photo which she dubbed, “Starry Night 2.0” in homage to Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh.
Koch began her current stint aboard the International Space Station (ISS) on March 14, traveling via the Soyuz MS-12 module with Aleksey Ovchinin and Nick Hague to complete the Expedition 59/60/61 crew.Also on rt.com ISS mission blasts off from Baikonur Cosmodrome (VIDEO)
Koch was scheduled to participate in the world's first all-female spacewalk alongside Anne McClain on March 29, but was forced to hand the mission over to Hague due to space suit sizing issues.
On April 17 2019, Koch's mission was extended to February 2020 meaning she will return to Earth after 335 days in space, the longest single continuous stay of any female astronaut in history, beating Peggy Whitson's 328 days.

I've heard of some ARTCCs that have their tower controllers actually radar track aircraft, like overflights through the airspace. Others don't. Supposedly, we can't teach S2s the procedure since it's not part of the official VATUSA training, meaning we'd only be able to do it at designated major airports. Is that correct? Also, I'm curious what the reasons are for and against tower controllers using radar tracking.
First, there is no official VATUSA training. There are, however, official rating training standards in the GRP.
The only legitimate reason I would not allow an S2 to track any aircraft is if they don't know the concepts of radar. If they're midway through S3 training and/or know how to apply radar separation AND they understand the concepts of vertical and lateral airspace boundaries (ie. the tower's airspace boundaries), then more power to them. For me, it's based on what they know, not what rating they have.
Real world local control positions that track aircraft are known as LRACs -- limited radar approach controls. In these cases the overlying TRACON has delegated to local control airpsace in which it can apply radar separation using approved equipment, as opposed to being limited to applying only visual separation or time-based separation between aircraft. It is important to have tower airspace boundaries outlined in an SOP to most effectively use this procedure. Tower should already know what airspace it owns to begin with, but a lot of controllers don't realize that this is the case. | aerospace |

Over 150 years have passed since author Jules Verne stated “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” yet reality presently can’t seem to find that sci-fi adventure. Profoundly, NASA has its sights set on visiting a giant asteroid that might be the frozen remaining parts of the molten core of a bygone world.
Called Psyche, this asteroid circles the Sun in the really space rock belt, among Mars and Jupiter. Utilizing information assembled from Earth-based radar and optical telescopes, researchers accept that Psyche is made generally of metal. It very well may be part or all of the iron-rich inside of an early planetary structure block that was deprived of its external rough shell as it over and again slammed into other enormous bodies during the early development of the planetary group.
The space rock, which is around 173 miles (280 kilometers) at its broadest point, could likewise be something different. It very well may be the extra piece of something else altogether of iron-rich body that shaped from metal-rich material some place in the solar system.
NASA’s Psyche mission desires to discover. Set for an August 2022 dispatch, the spacecraft will for a considerable length of time circle the space rock it was named after, taking pictures, planning the surface, and searching for proof of an antiquated attractive field. Mind likewise will concentrate on the neutrons and gamma rays coming from the space rock’s surface to assist with deciding its essential arrangement.
The primary mission to investigate a space rock with a surface that contains significant measures of metal instead of rock or ice, Psyche looks to more readily comprehend iron centers, a neglected structure square of planet development. The mission likewise possibly gives the primary chance to straightforwardly analyze within a rough planet by offering a glance at the inside of a formerly layered planetary body that in any case would never be seen. What researchers realize could reveal extra insight into how Earth and other rough planets shaped.
“There are a lot of basic questions about Psyche that are unanswered,” said the mission’s principal investigator, Lindy Elkins-Tanton of Arizona State University. “And with every detail that gets added from data we can collect from Earth, it just becomes harder to make a sensible story. We really don’t know what we’re going to see until we visit, and we’re going to be surprised.”
For example, past ground-based observations led researchers to think that the space rock was just about as much as 90% metal. Late examination drove by Elkins-Tanton utilized refreshed thickness estimations to assess that the space rock is almost certain somewhere in the range of 30% and 60% metal.
Also, researchers are puzzled why Psyche gives off an impression of being low in iron oxides, which are synthetic mixtures made of iron and oxygen. Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Earth all have them. “So if we’re correct that Psyche is a mixture of metal and rock, and the rock has very little iron oxide, then there’s got to be a strange story about how it was created – because it doesn’t fit the standard stories of planetary creations,” Elkins-Tanton said.
Mystery of Psyche
Researchers additionally don’t have the foggiest idea where Psyche framed. It may have started inside the vitally asteroid belt, but at the same time it’s born that it was brought into the world in similar zone as the inward planets like Earth – or in external planetary group, where goliath planets like Jupiter presently live. Neither history follows a basic way to where Psyche resides now, 280 million miles (450 million kilometers) from the Sun.
Asteroids overall can offer knowledge into planet development and how the early planetary group functioned 4.6 billion years prior. Be that as it may, Psyche is especially intriguing to researchers due to how surprising it is, with its metal substance, high thickness, and low grouping of iron oxides.
“The fact that it’s so unusual is telling us a new story that we haven’t seen before about how asteroids evolved,” said Bill Bottke, Psyche mission scientist of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. “That’s a piece of the story we don’t have right now. By getting that piece together with all the others we have, we continue to refine our story of how the solar system formed and evolved early on.”
Tools of the Trade
To assist figure with trip the space rock’s starting points, the mission’s science examination will depend on a magnetometer, a gamma beam and neutron spectrometer, and a multispectral imager. Researchers realize that the space rock doesn’t create an attractive field the manner in which Earth does, yet in the event that Psyche had an attractive field before, it could in any case be recorded in the space rock’s material today. With sensors mounted onto a 6-foot (2-meter) blast, the magnetometer can decide if Psyche is as yet polarized. Assuming this is the case, that would affirm that the space rock is essential for the center of an early planetesimal, the structure square of an early planet.
The orbiter’s gamma ray and neutron spectrometer instrument will assist researchers with deciding the space rock’s compound components. As grandiose beams and high-energy particles sway Psyche’s surface, the components that make up the surface material retain the energy. The neutrons and gamma beams they emanate accordingly can be distinguished by the spectrometer, permitting researchers to coordinate with their properties to those produced by realized components to figure out what lies under the surface for Psyche.
Meanwhile, a couple of color cameras make up the multispectral imager. The imager is touchy to light past what people can see, utilizing channels in the bright and close infrared frequencies. The light reflected in these channels could assist with deciding the mineralogy of any rough material that might exist on Psyche’s surface.
The spacecraft’s telecommunications system will assist with the science also. The X-band radio framework is basically used to send orders to the shuttle and get designing and science information from it. Be that as it may, researchers can likewise break down unobtrusive changes in these radio waves to gauge the body’s turn, wobble, mass, and gravity field, giving extra insights about the arrangement and construction of Psyche’s inside.
Eyes on Psyche
However, before any of this science analysis gets in progress, there will be pictures. By late 2025, three years after dispatch, Psyche will be inside sight of the space rock, and the imager group will be on high alert.
“Even before we get into orbit, we’ll start getting much better pictures than we can from telescopes on Earth. We’ll start to resolve features, see big craters, crater basins – maybe mountain ranges.
Who knows what we’ll see?” said Jim Bell of Arizona State University, deputy principal investigator of Psyche and imager team lead. “All we know is that the reality of Psyche is going to be even weirder and more beautiful than we can imagine.”
More About the Mission
ASU drives the Psyche mission. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California is answerable for the mission’s general administration, framework designing, mix and test, and mission activities. The mission stage known as get together, test and dispatch tasks is in progress at JPL. By the following spring, Psyche will be completely collected and prepared to transport to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
JPL additionally is giving an innovation exhibition instrument considered Deep Space Optical Communications that will likewise fly on Psyche, which will test high-data-rate laser communications that could be utilized by future NASA missions.Topics #NASA #Psyche mission | aerospace |

Whereas telescope builders trying to give astronomers a clear look at the skies generally seek out arid mountaintops, where atmospheric distortion is minimal, a new telescope mounted on the side of a Boeing 747 does them one better. The 2.5-meter telescope built by NASA and the German Aerospace Center can climb as high as 13,700 meters to escape the atmosphere’s deleterious effects. Those altitudes allow the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, to rise above more than 99 percent of the atmosphere’s distorting water vapor. As it traverses the skies, SOFIA stays fixed on a target with the help of stabilizing, fiber-optic gyroscopes. | aerospace |

The airline said the suspension will go into effect on February 8, at which point approximately 80 employees will be laid off.
A media relations spokesperson for Air Canada told Daily Hive that the decision to pause Rouge operations was made due to the Canadian government’s latest travel restrictions.
At the request of the federal government, Air Canada has cancelled all flights to Mexico and the Caribbean until April 30. Flights to the sun destinations were primarily operated by Rouge, the spokesperson said.

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano has been assigned to fly on the International Space Station from May to November 2013 serving as flight engineer for Expeditions 36 and 37. ESA Director of Human Spaceflight, Simonetta Di Pippo, stressed her satisfaction at seeing the first astronaut of the 2009 group assigned to a mission.
“Luca is a member of the new class of astronauts, and he will be a perfect space ambassador to promote the benefits of human spaceflight on Earth,” said Mrs Di Pippo.
“His assignment brings the certainty that Europeans will be part of a new era of the utilisation of the International Space Station, an era with broader exploration ambitions,” she added.
ESA Director of Human Spaceflight reminded that “we are now in the process to extend the ISS operations until 2020, and we have also to think about additional flight opportunities for our astronauts, who perform our research in orbit. We need to trigger a collective effort among the international partners, the European industry and ESA teams on the ground”.
“Having followed closely the selection process among thousands of European candidates, I’m proud to say today that Luca is the story of a success. He brilliantly passed the first ESA basic training showing a huge team spirit and a strong leadership, all indispensable values for the success of the human spaceflight endeavour,” said Di Pippo. | aerospace |

September 6, 1999
The Lunar Prospector spacecraft carried an instrument, the neutron spectrometer, which detected many slow neutrons coming from the moon's surface. The simplest explanation is that neutrons in the solar wind bounce off atoms in the lunar soil and are reflected back into space. The neutron spectrometer's results indicate that there is a substantial amount of material with very small atomic weight at some locations in the soil: it could be hydrogen. Hydrogen, in turn, might be bound together with oxygen to form water compounds in the soil.
Visit this site for more information on the Lunar Prospector results, pictures, and links to other information:
NASA crashed the Lunar Prospector spacecraft into a crater near the Moon's South Pole on July 31, 1999, hoping that the impact might kick up a plume of material that could reveal the presence of ice in the permanently-shadowed region of the crater. Several telescopes, on the ground and in orbit, watched the impact site carefully, but so far there's no evidence for the detection of material from the impact. Rats. You can read the whole story at

Evidence from the Clementine spacecraft
December 4, 1996
Here's a very brief explanation of the recent announcements that there is ice on the moon. You can read the full story in the paper published in the Nov 29, 1996 issue of Science (to hit the newstands any minute now), or at
The spacecraft Clementine performed a series of experiments in which it pointed its antenna at the Moon (instead of an Earth station), and transmitted at 13-cm with Right Circular Polarization (RCP). The waves bounced off the Moon, and were picked up by a radio antenna here on Earth. The idea was to look for special characteristics in the signal, which might indicate properties of the lunar surface.
For example, some materials, with high reflectivity to radio waves and lots of small cracks or crannies, would give rise to an especially strong return signal when the radio waves were reflected exactly back whence they came; that is, when the spacecraft was EXACTLY between the reflecting lunar surface and the Earth. One material with these characteristics is water ice ... but there are others.
On one of its orbits around the Moon, the Clementine spacecraft was positioned exactly between the Earth and the south lunar pole (where there are areas perpetually shaded from the Sun). It had to bounce the radio signals off the surface at a very oblique angle -- that is, it pointed its antenna at the "edge" of the Moon, not the portion directly beneath it. This large angle of incidence can make the results harder to interpret.
The reflection from THIS orbit and area yielded strong backscattering, and the received radio waves had much stronger Right Circular Polarization than Left Circular Polarization. Reflections from other areas _near_ the south lunar pole didn't show such properties, nor did reflections from the north lunar pole (which has a smaller area in permanent shadow).
Conclusion: there _may_ be ice deposits at or near the surface of permanently-shadowed craters near the south lunar pole. However, the data could be produced by other materials with similar radar-reflecting properties.
Lunar Prospector, to be launched in Oct 1997, will orbit over this area (and others), and carries a set of neutron-measuring instruments which may provide additional evidence that the material in this part of the moon is truly ice. Until then, we have to wait.

It consist of two equal masses which are connected with a tether. This system then rotates around a common axis, and as a result a centrifugal force is generated which replace gravity.
The tether is in most dumbbell designs about a few hundred meters, in order to prevent motion sickness as result of a high angular velocity. A longer tether means a lower angular velocity to generate an equal centrifugal force.
This design is attractive for the first permanent human outposts in free space, since it requires relatively few resources to be constructed – as compared with O’Neill cylinders or Bernal spheres. The modules can be quite small, as long as both have more or less the same mass.
In the diagram above, I have drawn to “living modules”, though one of the modules could be assigned different functions.
The habitat is powered by Solar energy. I did not draw the solar panels in the diagram, because their placement depends on the precise orientation of the structure to the Sun.
Dumbbell habitats are not typically designed for large population, rather for a few dozen people. Nevertheless they are quite useful as they will serve as the base for the first space settlers, while they are working on the next generation of space habitats.
Though dumbbells can be located anywhere in outer space, it would make most sense to locate them in the neighbourhood of resources, such as near earth asteroids. Through use of remote control the inhabitants of the dumbbell can operate mining equipment on NEAs. | aerospace |

Bolden and Musk talked about the flight, which will be the first of 12 contracted for NASA by SpaceX to resupply the space station. The SpaceX flights under the Commercial Resupply Services contract will restore an American capability to deliver and return significant amounts of cargo, including science experiments, to the orbiting laboratory — a feat not achievable since the retirement of the space shuttle.
The Dragon will be filled with about 1,000 pounds of supplies. This includes critical materials to support the 166 investigations planned for the station’s Expedition 33 crew, including 63 new investigations. The Dragon will return about 734 pounds of scientific materials, including results from human research, biotechnology, materials and educational experiments, as well as about 504 pounds of space station hardware.

On July 31, 2015, a Phenom 300 with a pilot and three passengers was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport outside of London, England. The aircraft ran off the far end of the runway, struck an earthen embankment and became airborne again before colliding with cars parked in an adjacent lot. The subsequent accident investigation revealed a highly unstable approach in VFR conditions. The pilot was descending on final at 3,000 fpm and crossed the runway threshold at 151 knots, 40 percent faster than the Vref of 108 knots. This was a pilot fixated on landing. The first point of touchdown was three quarters of the way down the length of the runway, at which point the outcome was no longer in doubt. All aboard died in the crash.
Several years ago, following a rash of Cirrus landing accidents I wrote a set of articles in the COPA magazine titled “Landing a Cirrus – The Good, The Bad and the Ugly.” The two-part article focused on the mechanics of landing, beginning with the base-to-final turn through rollout and a possible go-around. Cirrus Aircraft sent an open letter to all current owners of Cirrus airplanes encouraging more landing practice and training which, shortly thereafter, led to the development of the Landing Standardization syllabus. I promised a follow-on article discussing flying a stabilized approach, as the saying goes, “A good landing follows a good approach.” Cirrus has incorporated the criteria for stabilized approaches in the iFOM and this will be the focus of the following discussion.
ALL of these criteria must be met by 500 feet AGL or a go-around is mandated. If your superior flying skills couldn’t meet the above criteria, those skills are not likely to salvage the approach so take the go-around and try again. No penalty is applied.
These criteria must be met at 1,000 feet AGL:
Flying a stabilized approach to landing, whether in the traffic pattern or an instrument approach, will allow the greatest chance of a successful landing. Recognizing when the approach becomes unstable is critical to decision making and is where many pilots become fixated on salvaging the approach. Often these attempts are successful, creating a cache of negative learning. Pilots, particularly professional pilots, are often embarrassed to execute a go-around, fearing criticism from their company and their peers. Fortunately, that attitude is changing, and go-arounds from unstable approaches are being encouraged. We Cirrus pilots, flying technically advanced, high-performance aircraft should push ourselves to make an early decision to perform a go-around when we can’t meet the above criteria. It’s a responsibility to ourselves, our passengers, and those on the ground to standardize our flying and strive to constantly improve our skills.

The Association of Flight Attendants, which represents 24,000 United flight attendants, planned protests at 17 airports plus United headquarters, but did not expect travel disruptions.
The flight attendants’ union is the last major group without a joint contract after the 2010 merger of United and Continental. Talks have been going on for three years, and they are currently in mediation.
“They’re reaping record profits, and we feel that we should be participating in those profits,” said Paul Antuna, a union leader and United flight attendant for 35 years.

Note the presence of layered deposits around the rim of an impact crater, as well as along a scarp that traces through the center of the quad. These exposures are reminiscent of the terrain studied by NASA's Opportunity rover, where exploration was limited to the layered deposits exposed along the flanks of craters, in addition to NASA's Spirit rover, which studied the layering exposed along a circular scarp known as "Home Plate." The Gale Crater landing region provides access to both types of exposures.
The background image was obtained by the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

He knows how consumers are modifying them to work beyond their intended capabilities, potentially making them lethal.
In an article for Defense One, Brett Velicovich, former a military intelligence analyst with 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, describes how the consumer drones he sells can become a weapon.
In less than 30 seconds, one of them can fly thousands of feet in altitude without anyone seeing it. The range extender allows him to control it from seven miles away. Velicovich said he can also add a tracking device that will allow it to follow a vehicle or a person for the purposes of dropping a payload less than three pounds on the target.
The problem isn’t getting any better and the government needs help. According to late-2016 research from the company Intel Center, terrorist use of drones in combat zones was growing at a substantial rate. The cost of the technology is dropping dramatically. The government spends hundreds of millions on defense contracting companies to make military drones safer; now it’s time to spend money on the consumer side before it’s too late. Everyone should be concerned.
U.S. officials are, indeed, concerned with the prospect of ISIS or some other terrorist group using drones. Officials from U.S. Central Command told Fox News in April that coalition troops face off against inexpensive drones at least 30 times a week, ones that are modified to carry grenades and watch troop movements. Earlier this year, U.S. troops have destroyed a drone factory and four storage facilities that house them.
In a war situation, it is likely much easier to ID terrorists’ movements to and from drone locations, but how do you monitor (or, for that matter, ID) a terrorist going to Walmart to buy a drone in New Jersey?
The good news is that commercial drones are not remotely as lethal as U.S. military-grade drones such as the MQ-1 Predator or the MQ-9 Reaper, which can carry missiles and travel 135 mph and more than 300 mph respectively. Store-bought drones, comparatively, are slow, easy to shoot down and can only carry a small payload that likely will cause minimal damage to a competent military.
But what about civilians? As Newsweek notes, drones could be used to spray a deadly chemical on crops, or they could be deployed in swarms in cities to attack crowds. It seems unlikely to result in massive casualties, but it could leave a powerful psychological blow amongst the general population. In Israel, for example, Hezbollah has attempted to use drones against the public and the military. And during the Lebanon War, in 2006, Hezbollah flew three small Ababil drones into Israel carrying 40-50 kilo payloads each to hit several key targets before being shot down by Israeli F-16s.
To prepare for increasing concerns of drone terrorism here in the U.S., Federal Aviation Administration and other agencies are testing technologies that have the capacity to shoot rubber bullets at rogue drones and specialized radars and radio-frequency monitoring devices to track them.
So far, we haven’t experienced a drone attack here in the U.S. But knowing that a device designed for recreational use can be used to terrorize the public should have us all concerned. | aerospace |

The university found out on Friday it is one of 15 universities and institutions in Canada that’s receiving funding from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), for its Canadian CubeSat Project.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for the students who will get to, from the beginning to end, design a spacecraft,” U of A electrical and computer engineering professor Duncan Elliott said.
The national project gives Canadian post-secondary students a chance to participate in a real space mission.
Students will design, build and operate their own cube satellites, which will be launched into space. Each satellite will be designed for a particular purpose.
“That’s really really great that we get to go on this journey with other universities, and even for a second time around with a new wave of students working on such a cool project,” U of A faculty of science student Logan Fairgrieve-Park said.
The University of Alberta’s satellite will have a personal meaning for some of the students.
“This one will do measurements in space weather as well as monitoring for us the conditions [that] could lead to forest fires. It’s quite important to a lot of students who have losses in Fort McMurray,” Elliott said.
“It’s a really really cool project to be a part of,” Fairgrieve-Park said. “The timelines are over so many years and when you finally see these projects through and you see how they develop, it’s a really great feeling. You can tell everyone is just very excited about it.”
In 2017, the University of Alberta team created a cube satellite that was launched into space.
The satellite, known as Ex-Alta 1, was launched into orbit from Cape Canaveral, Fla., on April 18, 2017.
Roughly the size of a shoebox, Ex-Alta 1 was part of an international cube satellite mission called QB50 that involved 38 other satellites pieced together at universities across the globe.
The launch marked the first time a spacecraft had been built in the province of Alberta and sent into space.
There were more than 50 undergraduates, graduates and faculty members on the team. They spent seven years working on the Ex-Alta 1 satellite project.
The project could provide insight on ways to better design equipment on the ground to avoid the massive impact of a big solar event.
Elliott said about half of the components in the first satellite were designed from scratch at the U of A, but all of the components for the latest satellite will be designed at the university.
“Not only that, but we’ll be making those open source so other universities around the world will be able to make much less expensive, much more customized satellites with the best documentations, the actual designs,” he said.
The second satellite is scheduled to launch in 2020 or 2021. | aerospace |

"Safety is Boeing’s top priority," said interim Boeing CEO Greg Smith. "Public, customer and stakeholder confidence in the 737 MAX is critically important to us and with that focus Boeing has decided to recommend MAX simulator training combined with computer-based training for all pilots prior to returning the MAX safely to service."
CNBC reported that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will "consider Boeing’s recommendations for flight crew simulator training during the upcoming Joint Operations Evaluation Board”.
"The agency will not approve the aircraft for return to service until all parts of the certification process are completed to its satisfaction," the FAA were quoted as saying.
Boeing said it would temporarily pause production of the 737 Max in January. The aircraft was grounded in mid-March following two fatal crashes, which killed more than 300 people.
In a statement, Boeing said its simulation training recommendation "takes into account our unstinting commitment to the safe return of service as well as changes to the airplane and test results." | aerospace |

So don't leave your underwear lying all over your lawn.
GeoEye-1 will orbit 423 miles above Earth, but it will be able to gather imagery with details the size of 41 centimeters... Google, though, is permitted to use data only with a resolution of 50cm because of the terms of GeoEye's license with the U.S. government.
Each day, the satellite will be able to gather a high-resolution "pan-sharpened" format surface area equal to that of about New Mexico, the company said.
"The GeoEye-1 satellite has the highest ground resolution color imagery available in the commercial marketplace and will produce high-quality imagery with a very accurate geolocation," said Google spokeswoman Kate Hurowitz, adding that most commercial satellite imagery has a resolution of 60cm. "It is our goal to display high-resolution imagery for as much of the world as possible, and GeoEye-1 will help further that goal."

Since the pandemic’s outbreak, European business aviation has shown particular resilience, growing stronger while commercial aviation suddenly sank into a crisis.
More and more affluent flyers have started to charter private jets for essential business travel across Europe and business is set to continue rising with a 20% growth up on 2020 being predicted by Aviation experts.
This charter boom has had a positive knock-on effect to aircraft sales. Interestingly we are seeing that the majority of our clients are new first time buyers, who are keen to protect themselves, family and colleagues. This trend is not going to go away and as travel restrictions are lifted we are seeing interest levels increase even furthur.
In particular the entry level jet is proving hugely popular as new clients dip their toes into the world of jet ownership with an aircraft that can hop comfortably around Europe at a relatively low price point.
As a response to this demand Sovereign Business Jets are purchasing low hour entry level aircraft such as the CJ1, CJ2 and Learjet 45XR which are perfect for the missions our clients are looking for.
The aircraft are then given a complete over-haul with new leather seats, wool carpets, and leather side-walling, refurbished cabinetry, a new exterior paint scheme and up-to-date avionics.
“Effectively the aircraft are like new when they leave us, refurbished to a very high standard of luxury, with fully compliant avionics. We only purchase aircraft with very low hours and are able to offer a fully managed service giving clients the option of chartering the aircraft to offset against operating costs if desired” said Barry Chalmers MD of Sovereign Business Jets. | aerospace |

Boeing plans to deliver its bid to the Air Force at 8 a.m. today, a spokesman said.
It's been a fierce, long-running battle marked by controversy and accusations of unfair competition.
The Air Force is expected to make its decision in November — the third time it will decide on a tanker contract.
"This is a big day for us," EADS North America chairman Ralph Crosby said during a conference call Thursday. "We feel very good about what we have to offer."
The company put forth an intensive effort to submit a proposal that Crosby said meets all of the Air Force's requirements.
"There are a lot of weary-looking folks around here," Crosby said.
European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. officials said the company will move forward as if it has won the contract for 179 tankers.
On Monday, it will send a tanker management team to Mobile, Ala., where Airbus tankers would be assembled should it win.
The EADS tankers would be based on the Airbus A330 commercial airliner. The Boeing tanker would be based on its commercial 767 jetliner.
An EADS win would create 48,000 U.S. jobs, while a Boeing win would create 50,000 U.S. jobs, the companies say.
In a surprise announcement, a third company, Santa Fe Springs, Calif.-based U.S. Aerospace, said this week that it plans to make a last-minute bid for the tanker contract in a partnership with Ukranian aircraft manufacturer Antonov.
The airframes would be built in Ukraine by Antonov, with final assembly at a new facility in the U.S.
The companies plan to bid on three models for the tanker — the AN-124-KC; AN-122-KC, a twin-engine variant of the AN-124-100 with advanced engines, electronics and avionics; and AN-112-KC, an updated airframe designed specifically to meet the tanker program requirements, according to information from U.S. Aerospace.
The deadline for bids comes shortly after a World Trade Organization panel found that Airbus had received illegal subsidies — loans with below-market interest rates — to build its airliners.
It ruled that launching Airbus' A330-200 would have had significantly higher costs without the subsidies.
The WTO must still rule on a countersuit accusing Boeing of benefiting from subsidies.
On Thursday, the WTO said that an interim ruling in the case expected this month would be delayed until September.
Boeing and EADS officials agree that this tanker competition is different than the one two years ago, in which the award was given to a Northrop Grumman-Airbus team. It was overturned after the U.S. Government Accountability Office found the offers were judged incorrectly.
Northrop Grumman withdrew from the latest competition. EADS decided to move forward on its own.
"This is a different chapter," EADS North America CEO Sean O'Keefe said. "It has a different feel to it. This is not Groundhog Day."
Instead of seeking a broad range of capabilities, the Air Force is looking for a replacement for the current fleet of KC-135 refuelers.
In 2003, Boeing won the contract for tankers, but lost it because of a conflict of interest when a Department of Defense acquisition manager accepted a job with Boeing. The government official and a Boeing executive went to jail.
In the current competition, the rules are clearly spelled out, the companies say.
The successful bidder must meet all of the Air Force's 372 requirements, said Boeing spokesman William Barksdale.
"You can't move along in the competition with 371," Barksdale said. "That really forces industry to come up with a new tanker, a new proposal." | aerospace |

Bill Nelson (D-Florida) was sworn in as the 14th administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Monday.
Vice President Kamala Harris swore in the former astronaut during a ceremony in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
“To have the president and the vice president have this kind of confidence in an old buddy from the senate, it’s indeed one of the high honors that anyone could have," Nelson said. “I want to say that it’s a new day in space.”
The U.S. Senate vote to confirm the former astronaut was unanimous, according to NASA's press secretary.
Nelson was first nominated by President Joe Biden in mid-March and awaited confirmation by the Senate before he could officially begin to take the reigns of the space agency from Acting NASA Administrator Steve Jurczyk.
The fifth-generation Floridian has long been regarded as the "leading space program advocate in Congress" and has even explored beyond Earth himself.
In 1986, Nelson traveled into space as a crewmember on the 24th flight of the Space Shuttle Columbia. At the time, he was the second sitting member of Congress to travel into space.
Over the years, the 78-year-old politician has also chaired the Space Subcommittee in the House, and Space and Science Subcommittee, Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation in the Senate.
"In the Senate, he was known as the go-to senator for our nation’s space program," the White House wrote in its March announcement.
Nelson's swearing-in comes at a busy time for NASA, as the agency recently launched its Crew-2 mission and saw its Crew-1 astronauts return to Earth May 2.
Not to mention, NASA recently landed its Perseverance Mars 2020 rover on the red planet to search for signs of past life and completed three successful runs of the first-ever powered, controlled flight on another planet.
The former senator will also face one of NASA's most ambitious human exploration endeavors-- its Artemis program. On its current track, the program looks to not only return humans to the lunar surface for the first time in nearly 50 years but also land the first woman on the Moon in 2024.
Nelson's potential Deputy Administrator Pam Melory awaits Senate confirmation of her own after being nominated for the role by President Joe Biden.
