May 30, 2013 By Benét J. Wilson Civil Air Patrol (CAP) wings from Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas ended their mission May 30 to provide aerial and ground assistance to Moore, Okla., which continues to recover from an EF5 tornado that hit the town on May 20. CAP units worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fly over the tornado’s path—estimated to be 17 miles in length and at its peak was almost two miles wide—to capture high-quality images to assess the damage. Ground teams also went block by block and house by house to document the destruction. Almost 100 CAP cadets and officers participated in the effort. In addition to their flights for the state, members of the Oklahoma Wing provided air and ground sorties to a combat camera team from Air Combat Command, which is working on a story on military support of the ongoing relief efforts. CAP air and ground team members worked with 450 FEMA workers who, by Memorial Day, had delivered 43,000 meals and 150,000 liters of water, along with thousands of cots, blankets, and other comfort items.

Holla, VS and Aravamudhan, MD and Rao, P Jagadeesha (1982) Force Measurements on a Reflex Cambered Delta Wing. In: Journal of Aircraft, 19 (6). pp. 417-418.Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy) AREFLEX spanwise cambered delta wing with a conical camber designed for M= 1.4, using the method of Ref. 1, was tested at the design Mach number as well as off-design Mach number M=0.15 and 2.3, respectively. The test results are compared with those of a plane wing and also with the available theoretical results at the design condition. At subsonic speed, the cambered wing has less lift at a given incidence and higher lift-to-drag ratio at a given lift than the plane wing, while at supersonic speeds, both of these quantities were less on the cambered wing. At supersonic speed, at the design incidence and Mach number, there is good agreement between results from theory and experiment. The center of pressure on the cambered wing is ahead of that on the plane wing at subsonic speed, while the reverse is true at supersonic speeds. Finally, it is found that over a useful range of lift the cambered wing is aerodynamically more efficient at subsonic speeds, and less so at supersonic speeds, than the plane wing. |Item Type:||Journal Article| |Additional Information:||Copyright of this article belongs to American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.| |Department/Centre:||Division of Mechanical Sciences > Aerospace Engineering (Formerly, Aeronautical Engineering)| |Date Deposited:||22 Jul 2009 07:30| |Last Modified:||22 Jul 2009 07:30| Actions (login required)

The new, as yet un-designated X-plane, will stretch 94 feet in length and be capable of speeds up to Mach 1.4 at altitudes up to 51,000 feet. The Department of Defense will eventually decide what number the X-plane will eventually carry. Although the aircraft design Lockheed signed on for was finalized a year and a half ago, a NASA spokesman said there have been very few changes to the product since then. One goal of this X-plane program was to make the aircraft as affordable as possible. In order to keep that promise, Lockheed plans to use the landing gear from an F-16, a canopy from a T-38 and a GE 414-400 turbofan powerplant similar to the one on board the F/A-18 E-F Super Hornet.

The early January launch of the highly coveted US spy satellite, Zuma faced a major downfall, when the satellite could not separate itself, as programmed from the Falcon 9 rocket’s upper stage & thus never placed itself into the orbit. Rather, it came back into the atmosphere, with its launcher’s upper stage, later it broke free & ended up plunging into the Indian Ocean. Zuma was launched on Jan 7, upon a two-stage SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, initiating an undercover mission for the American government. SpaceX lifted off the highly secretive satellite from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Elon Musk led Hawthorne Space Company in its statement said that the procedures which are followed during all security launches are carried out in order and the live telecast of the take-off was concluded after both the stages of the rocket detached. In its live screening only, it was established by the company that the covering that shelters the payloads at the tip of the rocket has ejected. Very limited amount of information was available about the craft’s mission. This pursuit was to be highly concealed, that bureaucrats too did not authenticate about which agency will be managing Zuma. It was only known by the craft itself, what exactly it was scheduled to perform in orbit.The next day it was confirmed that the craft is lost. The sneaking suspicion then concentrated on what actually had gone out of order. From the beginning only, SpaceX asserted that the performance of Falcon 9 was normal during its flight- a response which proved to be true. Two individual bodies of aerospace industry professionals & government experts have experimentally came to a conclusion that the trouble arose with the component called ‘payload adapter’. Payload adapter connected the specialized craft to the rocket Falcon 9’s upper stage. The elite aerospace company Northrop Grumman made the satellite Zuma & also supplied the payload adapter for the project. The company bought the component from a subcontractor and considerably modified it & then put it through test three times on the ground. But in no gravity condition, upon reaching the orbit the component did not disunite the rocket from the craft. The different alterations to the adapter were done probably to make the vibrations during detachment considerably less, as the satellite’s special design was susceptible to damages caused by jolts. The data about the Zuma’s failure is another piece of sad news for Northrop Grumman, as is the leading contractor for the NASA’s prestigious multi-billion James Webb Space Telescope; the Hubble Space Telescope will be replaced by it. Authorities at NASA mentioned the need to conduct more numbers of testing, and also quoted about various problems with the designing of Webb’s systems. NASA will now conduct stricter overlook of the Webb project at Northrop Grumman, in the wake of the recent Zuma findings.

After a few difficult years of quality control issues, a disastrous two-year base aircraft grounding, and intense regulatory review, Boeing says it is doing a complete overhaul of its design systems, from engineering and manufacturing as he prepares to build his next clean plane. The company recently told Reuters that it plans to immerse the company in what is known as the “metaverse,” an immersive environment where human workers are digitally linked to machines and other workers using reality. virtual and augmented reality. “It’s about strengthening engineering,” Boeing chief engineer Greg Hyslop told Reuters. âWe’re talking about changing the way we work across the company. “ For the next jet, the plan is to build a virtual digital replica of every part of the plane on which simulations can be run. The system will bring together the value of forests of paper drawings, test data and certification documents in a digital environment that could assess and test every part of the aircraft before it reaches the workshop. Technicians and engineers would interact with robotic machines via virtual and augmented reality to spot and resolve issues. Hyslop said the system will not only build better planes, but it will do so faster, possibly taking this next jet from digital scribble to first flight in five years or less. âYou will get speed, you will get improved quality, better communication and better responsiveness to issues,â Hyslop said. âWhen the quality of the supply base is better, when the construction of the aircraft goes more smoothly, when you minimize rework, it results in financial performance. ” Boeing has tested initial versions of the new workflow on recent projects such as the T-7A military trainer and the 777X airliner with mixed success. The two ended up with certification issues, but Hyslop told Reuters they were working on it. âIt’s a long game,â Hyslop said. âEach of these efforts tackled part of the problem. But now what we want to do is do it from start to finish.

|Arrow Sport of 1927 at Lakeland, Florida, in April 2007| |Manufacturer||Arrow Aircraft and Motors| |Number built||ca. 100| $2985 for an Arrow Sport 85 in 1931 Design and construction The plane was designed by Swen Swanson and it was of largely conventional configuration with tailskid undercarriage, but was interesting in that the pilot and passenger sat side by side in the open cockpit, and because as originally designed, the fully cantilever wings lacked interplane struts – the upper wing attaching directly to the top of the fuselage. This latter feature proved so alarming to many prospective pilots that the manufacturer later supplied N-type struts that were of no real function other than to allay the aviators' fears. Several Sport aircraft flew in the United States in 2009. Nine Sports are preserved in U.S. museums and collections including an example of the A2-60 variant at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC.

Flybe has taken measures to ensure no repeat of nose-dive Flybe has said it quickly took remedial action to maintain the "very highest flying standards" after the wrong autopilot mode caused a flight from Belfast to Glasgow to unexpectedly nose-dive shortly after taking off in January. The serious incident - that occurred at around 4.30 p.m. on January 11, 2018 - affected a plane that was carrying 44 passengers and 4 crew, none of whom were injured. In its monthly safety bulletin for November the English Department for Transport's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) reported that the operator had since taken several safety actions to ensure such an incident doesn't happen again. In a statement the airline said: "Flybe maintains a rigorous approach to ensuring the very highest flying standards are maintained. We thank the AAIB for concluding its constructive investigation and report on the incident which took place on January 11, 2018. "As reported by the AAIB, Flybe implemented remedial actions quickly in response to the incident and our training and procedures have been amended to minimise the risk of a reoccurrence. "Flybe operates over 158,000 flights a year and the safety of our passengers and crew remains our number one priority." In its report on the incident the AAIB stated: "After takeoff from Belfast City Airport, shortly after the acceleration altitude and at a height of 1,350 ft, the autopilot was engaged. "The aircraft continued to climb but pitched nose-down and then descended rapidly, activating both the 'don’t sink' and 'pull up' Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) and Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS) warnings. "The commander disconnected the autopilot and recovered the aircraft into the climb from a height of 928 ft. "The incorrect autopilot ‘altitude’ mode was active when the autopilot was engaged causing the aircraft to descend toward a target altitude of 0 ft. As a result of this event the operator has taken several safety actions including revisions to simulator training and amendments to the taxi checklist."

NASA has plans afoot to build a second nuclear powered Mars rover, Curiosity style, and land it on the planet in 2020 with another fireball-and-rocket crane spectacular. The rover will even have a box for samples that might be returned to Earth by some later mission. Which is pretty cool on just about every count. And maybe we’ll get answers to questions that have been burning since long before the dawn of the space age Assuming, of course, we ask the right ones. That’s been the problem. When the Vikings landed on Mars in 1976 they were geared to look for life-as-we-know it. The results were ambiguous and likely caused by the perchlorates that we now know saturate the upper layers of the Martian soil. And therein lay the real issue. On Earth, if one experiment doesn’t work, you devise another and try that, based on what you learned the first time. Not so easy when you have to transport that repeat experiment to Mars to a chorus of shrinking budgets, where ‘failure’ is likely to kill the next allocation – yet where you might have to follow your Mk II Life Detecting Lab with a third…and a fourth… Part of the problem was that we didn’t know enough to ask the right questions. Viking’s ambiguous failure threw the issue back to basics. Had Mars even had water? Broadly, that’s where the focus has been since – and now that we have ‘yes’ to a lot of those basic questions, it’s possible to take the next steps. To me this is a cool application of scientific method – systematically, over decades, and it’s paying dividends. And we can speculate that even if Mars never had life – or if it did, and it’s gone extinct, it’s likely to have other life soon. Us. Maybe. Copyright © Matthew Wright 2013

Nanoracks Space Outpost Europe (Nanoracks-Europe), based in Torino, Italy and Rina Consulting SpA – two innovative European space companies, are teaming with DreamUp, PBC to provide space-based educational opportunities to students in Italy impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with fast-tracked funding support from the European Space Agency. The onset of COVID-19 has forced countless students worldwide to learn from home, bringing unprecedented change to the educational landscape, providing major challenges, yet also unique opportunities. The team is launching the development of DreamCoder 2.0, an innovative computer engineering education program providing students the opportunity to develop and execute code on a platform installed on the International Space Station. Utilizing this platform, installed in a Nanoracks Nanolab, students can gather data on various conditions such as humidity, temperature, and acceleration, to answer original research questions about human spaceflight and the conditions of the Space Station. Rina Consulting, will provide technological expertise for the updated DreamCoder 2.0 infrastructure and cloud computing element, which will open DreamCoder to the home-learning environment. To meet this challenge, the European Space Agency (ESA), through their ESA Space Solutions program, announced the funding opportunity “Space in Response to the COVID-19 Outbreak” in collaboration with the Italian Minister for Technological Innovation and Digitalization, the Italian Space Agency and other European countries. Through utilization of both current DreamCoder hardware installed on the Space Station via Nanoracks (US), and the development and improvement of the ground-based classroom hardware known as the “Sagan Spacelab,” via ESA, DreamCoder 2.0 will allow a unique global public-private partnership in the name of space and STEM education. “Space applications can play an important role in creating innovative services for education, says Liz Barrow, Technical Officer for ESA Space Solutions. “We look forward to the development of DreamCoder 2.0 and motivating students through space!” In order to implement DreamCoder 2.0, Nanoracks-Europe will engage with a user community of Italian supporters and stakeholders, including high schools in cities such as Torino, Rome, Lecce, and Ronciglione; schools in rural municipalities such as Teggiano; and in universities located in research and development centers such as Napoli and Rome. “With kids learning from home around the world due to COVID-19, we’re looking for new and innovative way to keep students engaged with space education,” says DreamUp Manager of Partnerships and Outreach, Lauren Milord. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be collaborating with our friends at Nanoracks in Europe, as well as with new partners, to ensure that Italian students will have access to cutting-edge, and groundbreaking space education, regardless of where they learn” “This is an absolutely exciting opportunity for Nanoracks-Europe to make a difference in the lives of our local students during this unique time,” says Nanoracks-Europe’s Director of Global Engagement, Veronica La Regina. “Space exploration inspires our younger generation to dream big, and it’s important that those dreams remain achievable from home even when the classroom is not available to Italian students. Thank you to our partners at ESA, the Italian Space Agency, Rina Consulting SpA, and the Italian Minister for Technological Innovation and Digitalization for making this advancement possible!” For more information visit nanoracks.com

The infrared camera DRAGO-2, developed by the team at IACTEC-Space and integrated into the satellite carrier ION-scv007 Glorious Gratia of the Italian company D-Orbit is now in orbit around the Earth after its successful launch yesterday on board a Falcon 9 rocket of Space-X. The Transporter-6 mission of SpaceX lifted off without a hitch at 14: 56 UT from platform 40 of the Space Force Station at Cape Canaveral, Florida (USA). Yesterday afternoon students, families, the media and IACTEC personnel were in the viewing room which had been installed in the multi-use area of IACTEC in the Technological Park of Las Mantecas (La Laguna, Tenerife) to watch the placing in orbit of the infrared camera. The Teidesat group of the University of La Laguna broadcast the event live, together with interviews of the staff involved in the project. DRAGO-2 (Demonstrator of Remote Analysis of Ground Observations), the second instrument developed completely in IACTEC-Space, is a space-borne camera which works in the short wave infrared, and which is designed for Earth observation. It is the successor of DRAGO-1, which was put into orbit two years ago, and which has been a great success. The basic improvement of DRAGO-2 over DRAGO-1 is the resolution of the camera. “We have gone from 300 meters per pixel to 50 meters per pixel” explains Alfonso Ynigo, systems engineer of IACTEC-Space. “With DRAGO-1 we could see an area of width around 190 km, and with a well aligned photo you could see Tenerife and Gran Canaria. With DRAGO-2 if we point at Teide we can see the peak of the volcano and part of La Orotava, but with much more detail. It will be as if we made a zoom”. For Rafael Rebolo, the Director of the IAC, these two first instruments developed entirely in Tenerife which view the Earth from space are only a first step. The team at IACTEC-Space are now working to develop VINIS, a new instrument for Earth observation, more sophisticated, which incorporates observations in multiple bands in the visible and the infrared. This new space telescope will observe the Earth at much higher resolution, of only 5 meters per pixel. After DRAGO-1 and DRAGO-2, in the future we will not only develop instrumentation for satellites, but also take the leap of launching the first Canary microsatellite for Earth observation, called ALISIO, which “should be ready to fly at the beginning of next year “predicted Rafael Rebolo. This satellite will include a DRAGO-2 camera and an optical communications module. “But our ambition is to have small observatories which can view the sky from space” notes the director. After ALISIO we foresee the launch of IACSAT, the first space telescope of the IAC, dedicated entirely to astronomical observation. With a weight of little more than 1 kilogramme and a power consumption of 6 watts, comparable to a normal led light bulb, DRAGO-2 will complement the work of DARGO-1 “depending on the study which is needed, we will need either a camera with a wide field, or one which gives more detailed images”, says Patricia Chinchilla, in charge of communications at IACTEC-Space. Just like DRAGO-1, the new orbiting camera will observe in the near infrared “this completes the images which are obtained at other wavelengths, such as the visible, which is the light with which our eyes see, and which we find most familiar”, explains Chinchilla. “This is very useful, for example, to monitor fires. The infrared lets us see through the smoke and shows the emergency services the position of the flames in real time, which can help them choose the best routes for evacuation”. Other applications of the DRAGO cameras are to monitor volcanic activity, to follow the state of the humidity of vegetation and of crops, the detection of oil spills in the sea or keeping watch on desertification. The working team of IACTEC-Space is largely funded by the Cabildo of Tenerife, under a programme of technological training granted to the IAC over several years. IACTEC-Space is a programme integrated into IACTEC, the area of technological and business collaboration of the IAC, which is supported financially –Programme of Training within the Programme TFINNOVA of the Strategic Framework of Island Development (MEDI) and the Canary Development Fund- and of infrastructures (IACTEC building) of the Cabildo Insular of Tenerife. IACTEC-Space is financed by the Plan of Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience of the Government of Spain, and by the Centre of Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI).

This project is a part of IACTEC, the area of technical and industrial collaboration of the IAC, which is supported financially (Capacitation programme) and in infrastructure (IACTEC building) by the Cabildo Insular (island government) of Tenerife. The IACTEC-Space programme of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has signed an agreement with the Italian space tranporting company D-Orbit to integrate the payload of the DRAGO instrument into the ION Satellite Carrier. The aim of this project is to carry out in-orbit demonstration (IOD) operations during the next PULSE misión, which will take place in January 2021. The programme is carried out within IACTEC, the zone of technical and business collaboration of the IAC which is funded (Programme of Training) and infrastructure (IACTEC building) by the Cabildo Insular of Tenerife. This afternoon the DRAGO infrared camera, developed by the team at IACTEC-Space, of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), and integrated into the ION satellite carrier of the Italian company D-Orbit, has been successfully launched into space on Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket. The Transporter-1 mission, as it is called, was carried out without a hitch during the first hour of the launch window which opened at 15:00 h UTC, from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida (USA). The DRAGO ( Demonstrator for Remote Analysis of Ground Observations) camera, developed entirely by the team of IACTEC-Microsatellites of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has obtained its first images of the Canary Islands. DRAGO was launched into space on January 24th this year on a Falcon 9 rocket of the Space-X company, integrated into a small satellite called ION-mk02 by the D-orbit company. Since then the satellite and the DRAGO camera have undergone a setting up phase which was completed successfully by taking its first images of the Canary archipelago. These were taken on The eruption on La Palma has provided a unique scenario for testing the DRAGO instrument, the infrared camera of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) which has been observing the Canary Islands from space since January. One of the objectives for which DRAGO was designed is monitoring natural disasters, especially those which could occur in the Canaries, such as forest fires, petroleum spills, or volcanic eruptions. The role of DRAGO is to provide infrared images from space to help the management and control of these disasters. In the case of the eruption which began on September After the excellent results from its predecesor, DRAGO (Demonstrator for Remote Analysis of Ground Observations) the updated version of this instrument, designed to observe the Earth from space in now ready. DRAGO-2 has optics with higher resolution, and fills the need for images in the short wavelength range of the Canaries and of other parts of the world. This marks the start of the stage of design and manufacture of the satellite in which it will be launched. This satellite has been named ALISIO-1 (Advanced Land-Imaging Satellite for Infrared Observations) and will be developed in The project "DRAGO: Canary Islands Educational Centres from Space" ended its 1st edition on Monday 27th June with a visit to the Teide Observatory for the winners and finalists, where they were also presented with the corresponding prizes. In this way, students and teachers from 5 schools in the Canary Islands were brought together in this first edition. DRAGO is an innovative educational project created by the space division of IACTEC, of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, together with the Regional Ministry of Education, Universities, Culture and Sports of the Canary Islands El pasado 24 de enero tuvo lugar la puesta en órbita de DRAGO ( Demonstrator for Remote Analysis of Ground Observations), el primer instrumento desarrollado por IACTEC-Espacio. Semanas después llegaban sus primeras imágenes infrarrojas de la Tierra, con una calidad a la altura de las expectativas más optimistas. DRAGO es el resultado de cuatro años

Arconic, is a company that specialises in lightweight metals engineering and manufacturing. The company has recently announced their participation in a multi-year cooperative research agreement with the aerospace manufacturer Airbus. The partnership will see both of the companies working to advance the metal 3D printing solutions that are available for aircraft manufacturing. Both Arconic and Airbus will work to develop bespoke processes and parameters that will be able to produce and qualify large structural 3D printed components, such as pylon spars and rib structures. The components that the companies are hoping to produce could be around 1m in length. The deal The deal that has been agreed will merge Arconicâs expertise in metal additive manufacturing and metallurgy with the design and qualification capabilities of Airbus as well as their experience with regulatory agencies in order to gain certification for the finished components. The agreement that has been formed combines the expertise of two of the worldâs top aerospace additive manufacturers while also looking at ways to push the boundaries of 3D printing for the purposes of aircraft production. Additive manufacturing is already promising a world where lighter and more complex aerospace parts are produced cheaper and faster. The companies will be joining forces in order to make this potential a reality. The agreement was first announced at the Formnext additive and advanced manufacturing conference that took place in Frankfurt, Germany. Arconic will be using electron beam high deposition rate technology to 3D print parts. The technology being developed is ideal for the production of larger aerospace components because it manages to print them up to one hundred times faster than any of the technologies that are used to create smaller and more intricate parts. On top of this Arconic will demonstrate the benefits of Ampliforge process, which is a combination of traditional and additive manufacturing.

NASA has delayed the launch of Crew-3 to no sooner than Monday, November 8, at 9:51 p.m. due to poor weather conditions locally and in abort zones. NASA also stated that they will now look at returning Crew-2 as soon as this Sunday, November 7, confirming our speculations earlier this week. SpaceX’s Crew-3 mission has had a troublesome preparation for launch. November in Florida brings difficult weather conditions making, launching hard. NASA is also continuing to monitor the “minor medical issue” that delayed the launch from November 3 to November 6, but they expect that to clear up before launch. On top of this, Crew-2 is reaching its deadline for returning home. The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft is designed to stay docked to the International Space Station for 210 days. That milestone for Crew-2 will come around the week before Thanksgiving, but NASA is seeing weather concerns for that too. “These are dynamic and complex decisions that change day by day,” said Steve Stich, NASA’s Commercial Crew Program manager. “The weather in November can be especially challenging, so our goal is to move forward on the plan with the highest probability of mission assurance and crew safety.” Currently, NASA is still working towards a final decision on what to do. We may see Crew-2 undock as soon as this weekend or Crew-3 launch as soon as Monday. I would not, however, expect both to happen on those dates. Most likely, one will happen, and the other will be then be delayed further. It is important to note that this will not break the 21-year streak of continuous human presence in space. Pyotr Dubrov, Mark Vande Hei, and Anton Shkaplerov will stay on the station as their ride, Russia’s Soyuz, won’t depart until next year. Along with the ISS, China has three astronauts on its Tianhe space station module. NASA will hold a press conference on Friday with the Crew-2 astronauts about their planned return home. There we might hear more details about this weekend’s plans.

Index – science – The Martian helicopter has flown again after surviving an emergency landing The recent flight of NASA’s innovative robotic helicopter to Mars wasn’t all that special compared to some of its previous flights. The tiny helicopter soared 5 meters above the dusty surface of the red planet in 24 seconds, then landed again in the same spot, he writes. Ars Technica. On some of its previous flights, Ingenuity has flown for nearly three minutes at a stretch, managing to fly 700 meters across Martian terrain. Having landed on the surface of Mars more than two years ago as part of the Perseverance mission, the helicopter is arguably one of the greatest NASA exploration achievements of all time. For ingenuity, mission success was the completion of five relatively short flights. However, since its first test flight in April 2021, the helicopter has exceeded all expectations: it has flown over the surface of Mars more than 50 times and has survived the long and dark winter. Although brief, Ingenuity’s latest flight on August 3 was a helicopter mission. In fact, on its 53rd flight at the end of July, the planned 136-second flight stopped automatically after only 76 seconds, and made an emergency landing. After the flight, helicopter operators at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory determined that the images from Ingenuity’s navigation camera did not match data from the vehicle’s inertial measurement unit. In short, the on-board computer expected one thing, but saw another. Since the first flight, we have integrated a program called LAND_NOW, designed to bring the helicopter to the surface as soon as possible in the event of any of a few dozen undesirable scenarios. We encountered one of these during Flight 53 and the helicopter worked as planned and landed promptly – said Teddy Zanetos, Creative Group Director. The purpose of last Thursday’s helicopter flight was to collect additional data on the conditions that caused the previous flight to end prematurely. After the last flight, Zanettos said the helicopter team is confident Creativity can return to perform more challenging missions soon. There was another advantage of the short takeoff and landing mission. At a height of 5 meters above the surface, the helicopter took a picture of the Martian terrain, which also shows Perseverance.

Atmospheric entry occurs when a spacecraft (or any other object) enters the atmosphere of a planet, such as HOM. Ideally, the intention is for the safe splash-down landing in a body of water or other liquid. Successful entry can only be performed with the following spacecraft: - Atmospheric Probe (doesn't come with a parachute, so it will explode upon impacting on HOM's oceans, or the oceans of other planets.) - Crew Capsule - Crew Capsule Dockable - Draco Cargo Capsule - Draco Crew Capsule - Gemini Capsule - LOK Crew Capsule - Orion Crew Capsule During atmospheric entry, the capsule will experience turbulence, caused by the capsule descending into thicker atmosphere at extreme velocity. This causes it to rotate, turning the protective heat shield away from the passing airflow. If the capsule's heat shield is turned to one side for too long, the capsule will overheat and explode. During re-entry, it is advised to deploy the parachutes in between the two green markers. - In actual atmospheric entry spacecraft, the capsule's mass is situated so its center of gravity is very low in the capsule, which assists in keeping the heat shield facing down so it will protect the capsule. Typically, the bottoms of space capsules are curved, which also aids in keeping the capsule oriented upright during the descent of atmospheric entry.

Distinguished Flying Medal Established for non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Air Force (from the date it was formed on 1 April 1918) and was awarded for courage or devotion to duty while flying in active operations against the enemy. During the Second World War the award of the DFM was extended to include the equivalent ranks of the Army and Fleet Air Arm personnel engaged in similar operations. The medal was issued named around the rim. A second award of the DFM is noted by a silver bar placed on the medal ribbon. Description courtesy of the MEDAL YEARBOOK.

MEET THE TEAM Aerospace engineer Brian Hood joins Czero Brian Hood has joined the Czero team, bringing years of experience in concept-to-prototype engineering and design, ranging from small high-tech parts for aerospace applications to massive machines for industrial-scale vapor deposition. Czero’s lean team and cross-domain approach to R&D engineering held special appeal for Brian, who although he has a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Washington, has also studied electrical engineering independently for many years. Says Brian, “In engineering anything complicated and multidisciplinary, the more experience you have with the whole, the better you’ll be at designing part of it.” The gamut of aerospace engineering Brian’s work for an aerospace engineering firm in Seattle embodied this 360-degree, multidisciplinary approach to engineering. For one big project, Brian and his team first designed a small, complex high-tech component for a composite aircraft, then also designed the massive, simple-yet-precise machine to place that part during aircraft assembly. The project also included testing the placement machine at production speeds. Engineering for manufacturing specialty materials Brian has also done in-depth work developing industrial vacuum-coating machinery for thin film processes, in other words, equipment for manufacturing specialty sheet plastic that eventually becomes things like electronics screens with anti-glare coating. Pursuing new engineering challenges at Czero An engineer who loves new challenges, Brian was attracted to the diversity of R&D projects at Czero. While Czero projects span the automotive, oil and gas, and clean tech industries, they share the requirement for novel, highly engineered, thoroughly tested solutions to tough problems. At Czero, the work we do is so specialized that many companies simply can’t support an in-house engineering team doing the work we do, unless they’re the scale of Boeing, for example. You might say we do ‘overflow heavy lifting’ when it comes to engineering, analysis and testing.

Published: 12/5/2012 3:08 PM | Last update: 12/6/2012 3:11 PM Below surface, moon reveals a 'shattered' historyLOS ANGELES - The moon took quite a beating in its early days, more than previously believed, scientists reported Wednesday. This surprising new view of the moon comes from detailed gravity mapping by twin NASA spacecraft, which slipped into orbit around the celestial body earlier this year to peer into the interior. The moon is "far more broken up and shattered than we've seen before," said mission chief scientist Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Measurements by the NASA spacecraft called Ebb and Flow also found that the moon's crust, or outermost layer, is much thinner than scientists thought - only about 25 miles thick. Results were presented Wednesday at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco and published online in the journal Science. Though past missions have measured lunar gravity - about one-sixth Earth's pull - Ebb and Flow are the first spacecraft dedicated to this pursuit. To collect data, the washing machine-size spacecraft flew in formation, orbiting about 35 miles above the moon's surface. Their positions allowed them to look deep inside. The resulting gravity maps revealed an exceptionally smooth lunar interior - consistent with it being pulverized by impacts. Fracturing extended deep into the crust and may have penetrated the mantle, scientists said. The maps also exposed numerous lunar features in greater detail than before including volcanoes, basins and craters. A provocative paper published last year hypothesized that Earth once had two moons that collided early on in the solar system's history to create the orb that graces the sky today. But Zuber said high-resolution mapping by the spacecraft did not find evidence for that. The mission is scheduled to end later this month when Ebb and Flow crash into the moon.

Dream Walker: A Journey of Achievement and Inspiration by Dr. Bernard A. Harris, Jr., the first Black Astronaut to walk in space Walking in the black void of space, staring at the blue-white planet Earth two hundred and fifty miles below, would be a dream for any young man. For Bernard A. Harris Jr. it became a reality on February 9, 1995, when he floated out the hatch of the space shuttle Discovery. From humble beginnings in a small Texas town to making history as the first African American to walk in space, Dr. Harris has led a life of inspiration, dedication, and motivation. Black Wings: Courageous Stories of African Americans in Aviation and Space History by Von Hardesty Colin Powell once observed that "a dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work." This sentiment is mirrored dramatically in the story of African Americans in aerospace history. The invention of the airplane in the first decade of the twentieth century sparked a revolution in modern technology. Aviation in the popular mind became associated with adventure and heroism. For African Americans, however, this new realm of human flight remained off-limits, a consequence of racial discrimination. Many African Americans displayed a keen interest in the new air age, but found themselves routinely barred from gaining training as pilots or mechanics. Beginning in the 1920s, a small and widely scattered group of black air enthusiasts challenged this prevailing pattern of racial discrimination. With no small amount of effort – and against formidable odds – they gained their pilot licenses and acquired the technical skills to become aircraft mechanics. • The Navy’s Black Admirals • NASA’s Black Astronauts • Blacks in Aviation

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and leadership from NASA and SpaceX discuss the upcoming SpaceX Crew-1 mission, which will be the first crew rotational flight of a U.S. commercial spacecraft to the International Space Station. Astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker of NASA and Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) are targeted to launch on Oct. 31 at 2:40 a.m. EDT aboard the Crew Dragon from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The heat shield on the SpaceX Demo-2 mission "had a little bit more erosion than they wanted to see," according to SpaceX VP Hans Koenigsmann. The tiles in the affected areas have been redesigned. Also, SpaceX had to tweak the parachute deployment sensors and have created a larger keep out zones for boats for splashdown. Crew Dragon’s test flight with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on board the spacecraft marked the return of U.S. human spaceflight and the first-time in history a commercial company successfully transported NASA astronauts to the International Space Station and back home to Earth.

Spirit announced a total of $590 million in third-quarter charges for its work on the 787 as well as Gulfstream's G650 and G280 aircraft. The Wichita, Kan.-based company faced the task of expanding its manufacturing sites and managing multiple development programs that were experiencing significant delays. That proved “very complex,” Jeff Turner, Spirit's CEO, said in a statement. Spirit's shares dropped 30.3 percent on Thursday, closing at $15.10, down $6.56 for the day. Spirit's disclosure comes a day after Boeing reported earnings of $1.03 billion in the third quarter. The jet maker was more than three years late in delivering the 787 but now is picking up the production pace on the mostly composite Dreamliner. Boeing CEO Jim McNerney noted Wednesday that the company is facing increased competition and other pressures. He's reaching out key suppliers to work on costs. However, “this is not a matter of stealing margin from our partners,” McNerney said. Spirit also announced on Thursday that it will receive $235 million as a final insurance settlement for storm damage at its Wichita facility earlier this year. The company had estimated $400 million in damages. Spirit will report its third quarter earnings Nov. 1.

Washington, Dec 4 (ANI): Space shuttle Discovery will not be launched before Feb 3 at 1:34 a.m. EST, NASA managers have said. They said more tests and analysis are needed before proceeding with the launch of the STS-133 mission to the International Space Station. The Program Requirements Control Board met Thursday and reviewed engineering evaluations associated with cracks on two 21-foot-long, U-shaped aluminium brackets, called stringers, on the shuttle's external tank. They are planning to conduct an instrumented test on the external fuel tank and structural evaluations on stringer test articles to determine if the analysis is correct. Details and timelines for the tanking test are in work, but plans call for temperature and strain gauge measurements in the intertank region near the top of the tank during the test. A team of engineers and technicians will inspect the tank for evidence of any foam cracking as it would on an actual launch day. The test also will verify the integrity of repairs to the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate, which leaked an unsafe amount of gaseous hydrogen during Discovery's Nov. 5 launch attempt. Engineers will continue to search for the root cause of the stringer cracks through data analysis and tests, including placement of manufacturing defects in separate stringers to demonstrate structural integrity in an effort to duplicate the same type of failure that occurred in November. NASA will review and analyze the data from the tests before setting a launch date. Because of Discovery's delayed launch, the earliest opportunity for the lift-off of the final scheduled shuttle mission, STS-134 on Endeavour, is April 1. (ANI)

NATO Innovation Challenge Finalists' Spotlight With the NATO Innovation Challenge Pitch Day approaching, finalists have been chosen and teams are getting ready to present their innovative solutions. We are going to put some teams in the spotlight and show what they bring to the table. This week, it is Team Quantum Aviation Ltd. The team’s problem to solve is how to procure a holistic, scalable and capable counter-unmanned aerial systems solution able to detect, alert, identify, track and mitigate small commercial multi rotor drones through to heavier fixed-wing targets. Their solution is Quantum Aviation’s TITANIUM C-UAS system; an integrated solution combining a series of COTS best-of-breed detectors and effectors which enables users to mitigate the broadest range of UAS threats. When the technological solution is married to the Quantum team’s real-world airspace security experience across global events and military counter-terrorism projects, the result is a compelling holistic solution. Quantum Aviation Ltd is a UK-based services and consultancy company specialising in aviation security, helicopter operations, safety management, search & rescue, maritime aviation and training. Leveraging unparalleled real-world operational experience in counter-terrorism, airspace security and aviation training and operations, the company provides services in several areas but specialises in counter UAS systems solutions. Martin Lanni - CEO Martin is a former pilot who flew in the Royal Navy for over 26 years, specialising in search and rescue and counter-terrorism. Away from flying helicopters he has been a NATO desk officer in JFC Naples, responsible for enhancing NATO and EU counter-terrorism cooperation; he was head of programming for British naval assets in Bahrain in support of counter-terror and anti-piracy operations and was a lead air planner in a Joint military/civil team for the airspace security operation for the London 2012 Olympic Games. The founder and CEO of Quantum Aviation and Quantum Airspace Security, he leads a small but capable team of resourceful and innovative former-military staff who deliver experience and technological solutions to clients globally. Will Robley - CTO Will has a recent background of military aviation as a senior military flying training manager and flying instructor/examiner. He has a vast range of flying experience and qualifications in many different theatres from 25 years of accident free flying around the globe. A technically minded innovator and free thinker, his key strengths and qualities lie in project management and delivery. As Chief Technical Officer of Quantum Airspace Security he is responsible for creating and integrating counter UAS systems whilst balancing clients’ budgets against appetite for Risk. A recent example of his solutionising; the radar system’s vertical field of view (FoV) was too limited for a governmental client. The OEM’s answer was simply to double the number of radar panels - Will’s solution saw the FoV increase to hemispherical but for a fraction of the cost of the manufacturer’s solution.

Above & Beyond: Pushback: Newark Airport, 8:45 a.m. What 9/11 looked like from one airliner’s cockpit. - By Anonymous - Air & Space magazine, January 2002 (Page 3 of 6) "Was that smoke there when we pushed?" I asked. "I don't think so." We spent the next few minutes wondering if we had seen secondary explosions due to an out-of-control fire. Whatever the case, the sight was horrifying. "I hope they have a way to get those people out of there," I said. Since our tug driver had already disconnected from his intercom and pulled the tug away from the airplane, I got on the radio and called Operations. Knowing they usually had a TV on somewhere in Ops, I thought they might clue us in on what we were seeing. But they seemed surprised by what we were describing. This was the first they had heard of it. As we switched over to Newark ground control to start our taxi, it was obvious that everyone on the frequency had witnessed the same thing. In between taxi instructions, a crew member on one of the other aircraft on the frequency asked, "Any idea what's going on across the river?" "Stand by, we're checking" was the terse response. As we taxied south toward runway 41, we watched the horror unfolding only miles away. In the few minutes we had been taxing, the smoke had definitely become more intense.

Here are our thoughts and observations from Day 1 of the Aircraft Finance conference in Geneva, Switzerland: - The mood here among the 300+ attendees in generally upbeat. There is a general sense that the airline industry has seen its worst and recovery is on the way. A leading indicator is the improvement in the cargo market, which is showing substantial gains year-over-year. Passenger traffic is up but premium traffic, while also showing gains, has a long way to go to recover. Even the notoriously pessimistic IATA was upbeat. - Aircraft financing for new airplanes is available but expensive. Aircraft financing for used aircraft is much less available. - The Airbus A319 and Boeing 737-700 cannot effectively compete with the Bombardier CSeries, even if re-engined, is some of the talk here. We were on a panel with James Billing of Boeing and Richard Aboulafia of The Teal Group. Billing prudently avoided being dragged into the discussion over the CSeries, sticking with market forecasts for the single-aisle segment; Aboulafia termed the CSeries a “niche” aircraft. We suggested that Airbus and Boeing could and should “crush” the CSeries by pricing the A319RE and 737-700RE as part of a family offering in airplane campaigns with the A320/321 and 737-800/900 by offering prices on the smaller models Bombardier couldn’t hope to match with the CSeries. Boeing’s Billing and Randy Tinseth, who was in the audience, figuratively ran for the hills on this suggestion—anti-trust regulators would be all over the company on this scenario. An Airbus official in the audience caught us afterward and merely suggested this wouldn’t be a good idea. The genesis of this is that Airbus introduced the A318 to kill the McDonnell Douglas MD-95 and Boeing priced the 737-600 at a reputed $16.7m to undercut MDC’s launch customer sale to SAS. The MD-95 never recovered from the two actions; the A318 and 737-600 proved to be sales dogs. - There is a growing belief that the Open Rotor engine will not be a successful solution for A320/737 replacement airplanes and the second generation GTF and Leap-X engines will be.

U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry backs beefing up military's capabilities in space defense U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry backs creating a space force not only to defend the high frontier but also to secure earthbound humans’ access to satellite connections key in their everyday lives. Wichita Falls’ congressman said threats to U.S. satellites from other countries are the big issue now. Among those relying on satellite connections are drivers filling up their gas tanks and farmers working in the field, said Thornberry, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. “The list goes on and on,” the Republican from Clarendon said. “I think initially the primary focus of a space force will be to defend our ability to use space for military and nonmilitary purposes.” Thornberry noted that there is no military manned spacecraft to defend U.S. satellites. He and Trump both aim to increase the national security focus on earth’s orbit and beyond, but it’s not clear yet what form that will take. In last year’s National Defense Authorization Act, the House version called for the Air Force to create a space corps. Concerns were high about other nations outpacing the U.S. “We … had some idea about what some of our adversaries were doing in space,” Thornberry said. “There was a lot of concern that whereas once we were the preeminent power in space, that we were losing that position rapidly.” The space corps would have avoided duplicating efforts by relying on the existing AF bureaucracy, he said. House lawmakers had the same model in mind as the Marine Corps, which falls under the umbrella of the Navy. The initiative, however, ran into strong opposition from both the Senate and the Air Force and didn’t survive in the final 2018 NDAA. “But based on what the president has said, I think the Department of Defense has to be supportive now,” Thornberry said. “The good news is, we’ve got a head start.” In last year’s NDAA, lawmakers reached a compromise, requiring the DOD to submit a proposal on how to move forward on a space force. “We’re supposed to have that plan later this year,” Thornberry said. “As I say, it’s fortunate because basically the department has gotten a head start on planning how to get there.” With the study still pending, President Trump took the podium at a meeting of the National Space Council June 18 at the White House. He announced the coming creation of a stand-alone space force as a sixth branch of the armed forces. “We must have American dominance in space. So important,” Trump said in remarks before the space council. He ordered the DOD and the Pentagon to set to work establishing such a force. “We are going to have the Air Force, and we are going to have the Space Force — separate but equal,” he said. “It is going to be something.” Thornberry said he thinks Congress and the military must be careful about moving too slowly toward a space force. “I don’t think that’s what the president intends,” Thornberry said. Lawmakers have a role in a reorganization of the military that a space force would entail. “To do it, it will require action by Congress, and that’s part of the reason we are anxious to get this report from the Pentagon,” he said. The House version of the 2019 NDAA proposes yet more routes to space-bound national security: - The Pentagon is to create a U.S. Space Command reporting to the U.S. Strategic Command. - A new numbered Air Force will be established to carry out warfighting in space. - The Secretary of the Air Force is charged with making and putting in action a plan to ratchet up the size and quality of the Air Force’s space cadre. This month, House and Senate lawmakers are working to reconcile the two versions of the bill. It’s not clear yet if the House’s space defense measures will make it into the conference report to be put to a final vote in Congress. Thornberry said a new national security initiative for space could mean more costs, but he doesn’t think costs have to rise steeply. In 2017, lawmakers directed the AF to improve its space operations, he said. “In the last year or so, they have made some real progress,” Thornberry said. The service has, for instance, made significant changes in how it buys satellites, he said.

Application of the proposed technology (an affordable, large-scale, high-efficiency, low-temperature pulse tube cryocooler system), serves two NASA needs: an improved cryogenic propellant conditioning method and an economical technique to maintain the lowest possible liquid propellant feed temperature. These needs exist at a variety of NASA facilities, yet little progress has been made beyond laboratory development. One barrier to acceptance is the cost of manufacturing large scale pulse tubes. Sierra Lobo, Inc. has found that through previous research involving conventional manufacturing techniques, two particular components common to all pulse tube cryocoolers contribute to approximately 50% of the cost. In view of the February 24, 2004, Executive Order encouraging innovation in manufacturing related research and development via the SBIR program, the primary objective of Phase I of this research is to study and develop improvements to the existing pulse tube manufacturing process. If successful, the resulting technology advancement would benefit a variety of current and future NASA programs managed by the Exploration Systems Office and the Science Mission Office, especially those involving long-term cryogenic storage systems. An even greater benefit is expected for the commercial application of pulse tube cryocoolers in facilitating the advancement of distributed high-temperature superconducting power systems.

Cessna built the first examples of the “Bamboo Bomber” Cessna UC78 (T-50) Bobcat before WWII as a business-feeder airline aircraft. During the war, many were produced as a multi-engine trainer for future bomber pilots. The airplane was nicknamed “Bamboo Bomber” because of its one piece, 42’ wooden wing. After WWII hundreds of examples were sold for surplus to civilian owners. It sports retractable landing gear and a spacious, five-person cabin. But since it is small, many were not parked in hangers and the elements have reduced their numbers, with only a few still airworthy.

On Monday, Russia and Europe launched a spaceship in a team effort to explore our solar system. The seven-month journey will be heading to Mars. There, the two hope to examine the possibility of aliens as well as research any chances we on Earth may have of visiting the red planet. Yes, the country known to many Americans as the homeplace of Borat is actually a vital asset to Russia’s space programme. It was from their Baikonur spaceport in Kazakstan that the Proton rocket launched. The craft is part of the ExoMars programme and will start its seven-month journey to Mars. On board the craft, an atmospheric probe will be used to study trace gases on the planet. Such gases like methane are strongly tied to life on Earth. Previous missions to Mars have brought back reports of methane and Russia hopes to research that further. Somewhere in here, there is a farting aliens joke, but that’s best left for the comments section. Russia is certainly invested in this whole methane business. So much so, that they invested millions to launching a rocket to Mars. Do they truly expect to find aliens there? Aliens or not, this trip could give us a great deal of information about the solar system. Scientist believe that methane gas originated from micro-organisms. These “methanogens” are thought to have become extinct millions of years ago. This resulted in the frozen gas under the planet’s surface. Some think these micro-organisms are still alive. In other words, aliens. Russia has never been accused of messing around and the ExoMars project is no exception. This isn’t just a showing of technological force, but a project that hopes to serve a greater purpose. As soon as 2018, the mission hopes to deliver a European rover to the surface of the planet. While this has been done before by NASA, this rover will be the first of its kind to have drilling capabilities. So step aside, Curiosity and Opportunity, a communist rover will be joining you on Mars soon enough. Article source: smallbigthings.info

Asteroid 2012 DA14 is about 150 feet in diameter, and NASA is calling it about half the size of a football field. It will pass by Earth at 1:24 p.m CST on Feb. 15. At its closest, 2012 DA14 will be over the Indian Ocean near Sumatra. How low will 2012 DA14 go? At its closest point, the asteroid will be 17,200 miles from Earth. That's outside the Earth's atmosphere and about two Earth-diameters away. Could NASA be wrong and it hit the Earth? No, the space agency says. The asteroid's orbit around the sun is well-understood, and this is the closest it will come to our planet in years. However, it will be the closest Earth encounter for a space object of its size. Can you see 2012 DA14 pass by? Only if you're in Europe, Asia or Africa. And then only if you have a very good telescope and a very good understanding of how to use it. 2012 DA14 will be moving very fast across the sky. NASA knows so much about 2012 DA14 because the space agency operates the Near Earth Object Observation (NEOO) Program to track asteroids and comets that pass close to Earth using space- and ground-based telescopes. The program is more commonly known as Spaceguard. NASA says there are an estimated 500,000 near-Earth asteroids the size of 2012 DA14 out there, and only 1 percent have been discovered. An asteroid the size of 2012 DA14 is estimated to strike Earth every 1,200 years.

Military VIP jet for the Netherlands The Koninklijke Luchtmacht (KLu, Royal Netherlands Air Force) announced it will decide which secondhand Gulfstream 650 they will buy as a replacement of their venerable Gulfstream IV (serial V-11). The decision will be made by 29 January 2021, as Menno Swart found out. The KLu already openly set a requirement for technical (type) training courses for the maintenance crew for the duration of two years. The crew needs to be trained (B1 and B2 type training) so they are able and certified to maintain the new G650 when it will be operational by the end of 2021. The current sole Dutch Gulf is operated by 334 squadron based at Eindhoven air base (The Netherlands). It is expected that the new aircraft will be assigned to this squadron too.

United Airlines has pushed its zero-emissions aim even further, investing in hydrogen-electric engines for regional aircraft. Without relying on carbon offsets, the airline aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100% by 2050. United Airlines aims to buy up to 100 new zero-emission hydrogen-electric engines (ZA2000-RJ) through a new equity stake in ZeroAvia, a firm focused on hydrogen-electric aviation solutions. As early as 2028, the engine might be retrofitted to existing United Express planes. One possible application is on the CRJ-550, which is the only 50-seat aircraft with first-class and other premium amenities. United’s CEO, Scott Kirby, said: “Hydrogen-electric engines are one of the most promising paths to zero-emission air travel for smaller aircraft, and this investment will keep United out in front on this important emerging technology.” He added, “United continues to look for opportunities to not only advance our own sustainability initiatives but also identify and help technologies and solutions that the entire industry can adopt.” Instead of burning fossil fuels, hydrogen-electric engines employ electricity generated by a chemical process in a fuel cell to power an electric motor. When the engines are turned on, there are no harmful pollutants or carbon emitted into the atmosphere because no fuel is burnt. The ZA2000-RJ will be utilised in pairs as a replacement power supply for existing regional aircraft. United Airlines Ventures has agreed to pursue a conditional purchase agreement for 50 ZeroAvia ZA2000-RJ engines, with an option for another 50, sufficient for up to 50 twin-engine aircraft to be operated by United Express partners once completely completed and certified by regulators as soon as 2028. ZeroAvia is speeding up development of its ZA2000 engine and will shortly begin ground testing of its ZA600 engine in a 19-seat aircraft, with the goal of putting it into commercial service by 2024. – India’s new age travel digital media

As the 1930s proceeded, aeronautical technology was developing at a pace which numerous British companies had been unable to fully grasp. The Bristol Aeroplane Company had taken its own step into the future with the design and production of a twin engine executive passenger aircraft. Known as the Type 142, it first flew in April 1935. A military option soon appeared, known as the Type 142M and in due course was given the name ‘Blenheim’. It was designed as a bomber but was used in a number of roles in the early stages of WW2, including as a night fighter. The company then exploited its new found expertise in a variety of military projects, one of which was the Beaufort; a general reconnaissance bomber/torpedo bomber and mine laying aircraft. The Beaufort entered RAF service in December 1939 and continued operating in small numbers until 1944. By the time of the Munich Crisis, in September 1938, it was disturbingly apparent that Britain was deficient in a number of key military airborne capabilities. The RAF lacked performance, capacity and range in both fighters and bombers and in the night fighter role. The Bristol Aeroplane Company had, by that time, entered a design theme phase, notably the use of a stressed skin structure throughout with a high aspect ratio wing, carrying twin radial engines. Bristol visualised that a long range escort fighter could be developed from the Beaufort, using a high degree of component commonality. The ungraceful lines of the Beaufort were cleaned up and modifications made to the airframe and engines, to give a long range escort fighter that could also function as a night interceptor. Work on the new Type 156 design, given the name ‘Beaufighter’, was initially conducted without Air Ministry support but in November 1938 the company received a contract to build four prototypes. The required performance was to be met using the Hercules III engine being developed by the Bristol Engine Company; a relatively new powerplant which was in short supply. The Hercules was a 14 cylinder, two-row, sleeve valve, air-cooled radial engine. The first Beaufort flight took place on 17 July 1939. It achieved a top speed of 335 mph at 16,800 ft at a low weight of 16,000lb. At realistic operating weights, the performance figures proved disappointing. To reclaim the situation, the Rolls Royce Merlin engine was prescribed but this was also in short supply, being urgently needed for the single seat fighter production lines. The engine company responded by accelerating its Hercules development programme. Mk I production Beaufighters went on to employ the Hercules XI engine, able to deliver 1,500 hp using high octane fuel. This enabled the Beaufighter to match the performance of the Hawker Hurricane. It was appreciated early on, that the aircraft was unsuitable as a daytime home defence fighter but that it would meet the principal operational requirements of a night fighter, inclusive of its specification for a 2 man crew. The first production Beaufighter came with heavy armament for its day, having four 20mm Hispano cannons mounted in the nose. By the 50th unit off the production line it also carried six Browning 0.303mm wing mounted machine guns – four starboard and 2 port. Operating as a night fighter, the aircraft’s excellent firepower was allied to its good payload capacity. This enabled the (initially) heavy and bulky AI (Airborne Intercept) radar to be carried, whilst offering a good duration and range for engaging Luftwaffe bombers at night. Beaufighter delivery to RAF night interceptor squadrons commenced slowly in September 1940. The cannon ammunition was drum fed, requiring the second crew man to manually change the limited capacity drums. In September 1941 it was modified to use a belt fed system. The first night operations preceded the fitting of the AI radar, demanding whatever ground support was available, such as searchlight and observation, together with aircrew vigilance. The AI radar greatly improved the engagement probability and this gain continued as the system was developed. During 1941 the aircraft was exacting a worthy toll against night bombing raids. Its most impressive achievement was on the night of 19/20 May 1941, with 24 London targeting Luftwaffe bombers acquired and engaged. As the balance of forces changed, the Beaufighter became available for new duties, such as night time intruder missions into occupied France, to attack German airbases. With the build up in aircraft numbers, it was deployed for both day and night missions against varied target types. The progress of the war found the aircraft used for long range fighter cover, anti-shipping and ground attack. To add to its very effective cannon fire, the Beaufort was developed to carry bombs, torpedoes and under-wing rocket launchers, with a maximum take-off weight then exceeding 25,000 lb. In this adaptive role, it played an important part in both the Mediterranean campaigns and the Far East. The Japanese gave it the nickname of ‘Whispering Death’ because the low noise from its Hercules engines allowed it to fly in quietly prior to the attack. Almost 6,000 Beaufighters were manufactured, inclusive of those built under licence in Australia. |Mk IF:||May 1941 to Feb. 1943.| |Mk VIF:||Jan. 1943 to July 1944| Bristol Beaufighter VIF : |Powerplant:||Two Bristol Hercules VI 14 cylinder air-cooled sleeve producing 1,635 bhp maximum power.| |Performance:||Maximum speed 333 mph at 15,600 feet, ceiling height 26,519 feet, range 1,479 miles at 190 mph.| |Weight:||Empty 14,619 lbs, Max. take-off weight 21,627 lbs.| |Dimensions:||Wing span 57 feet 10 inches, Length 41 feet, 8 inches, Maximum height 15 feet 10 inches.| |Armament:||Four 20mm Hispano cannons mounted mounted under aircrafts nose, Six 7.62mm machine guns in wings| © 2011 Victor K L Marshall M Sc, C Eng, M I Mech E

A former Boeing engineer has claimed that passengers on 787 dreamliner could be left without oxygen in the event of a sudden decompression. John Barnett said Boeing cut corners on safety aboard the Boeing 787, and deliberately fitted faulty parts on the Oxygen system and might not work when needed. He said, tests at the South Carolina assembly line suggested one in four of the aircraft’s passenger oxygen systems could fail. Barnett told BBC that “when he was decommissioning systems which had suffered minor cosmetic damage, he found that some of the oxygen bottles were not discharging when they were meant to. He subsequently arranged for a controlled test to be carried out by Boeing’s own research and development unit. This test, which used oxygen systems that were “straight out of stock” and undamaged, was designed to mimic the way in which they would be deployed aboard an aircraft, using exactly the same electric current as a trigger. He says 300 systems were tested – and 75 of them did not deploy properly, a failure rate of 25%.” In 2017, he complained to the US regulator, the FAA, but no action had been taken, FAA, however, said it “could not substantiate that claim, because Boeing had indicated it was working on the issue at the time.” He complained to his managers and subsequently to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), but the safety regulator said that Boeing was dealing with the issue. He also claimed that workers under-pressure “even fitted sub-standard parts from scrap bins to aircraft on the production line, in at least one case with the knowledge of a senior manager. He says this was done to save time, because “Boeing South Carolina is strictly driven by schedule and cost”.. Boeing rejects Mr Barnett’s assertions and said “Boeing has always focused on the safety of its products and people.”…“We are more committed than ever to our shared responsibility to design, build and service the safest products..” John Barnett is a former quality control manager/engineer at Boeing, worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement on health grounds in March 2017. He worked as Quality Control Manager at Boeing’s North Charleston, South Carolina factory since 2010. Mr Barnett, meanwhile, remains deeply concerned about the safety of the aircraft he helped to build, and said to BBC “Based on my years of experience and past history of plane accidents, I believe it’s just a matter of time before something big happens with a 787,” he says “I pray that I am wrong.”

At about 12:00 eastern time, a Piper PA-32-300 crashed on landing at Seven Springs Airport, killing one passenger and leaving the pilot and two passengers seriously injured. A witness said the airplane did not seem lined up with the runway as it touched down and veered off the left side of the runway. The engine revved as if the airplane was going to take off again, but it veered to the right, touched down back onto the runway, and traveled off the right side of the runway. The engine revved again, as if the airplane was going to take off, but the airplane struck trees and came to rest in a ravine. Two tail strike marks were found on the runway and one was found in the grass off the left side. No pre-crash mechanical anomalies were found.

Astronauts tend to get sick, and Millie Hughes-Fulford of the Northern California Institute for Research and Education and the University of California at San Francisco, who actually flew on a NASA shuttle in the 1980s, wants to find out why, according to the Mercury Daily News. She will be aided by 16 JAX Mice from Bar Harbor, ME-based Jackson Laboratory that have been helping scientists study the effects of space environments on immune systems through their journey on the Space Shuttle Discovery. The mice will help scientists determine whether astronauts can generate enough immune response to fight infections in space. More specifically, Hughes-Fulford and others will look at the rodents' memory T cells, which could determine whether vaccination would be useful before spaceflight, according to the Bangor Daily News. NASA/Ames researcher Eduardo Almeida also sent millions of mouse stem cells on the same shuttle flight, hoping to find clues about a constellation of space-traveler maladies: weakened bones and muscles, and compromised immune systems. The astronauts' maladies are similar to muscular-skeletal diseases in paralyzed or comatose patients on Earth, Almeida says, as quoted by the Mercury Daily News, and to the weakening of the immune system with aging, according to Hughes-Fulford. She has seen young astronauts come down with shingles, which commonly occurs in people past the age of 60. "It's not the first time our mice have been in space, but it's pretty neat," Jackson Lab spokeswoman Joyce Peterson says, as quoted by the Bangor Daily News. Two dozen Maine mice joined the space shuttle Endeavor on a mission in 2001 to study the effects of a no-gravity environment on bone density, Peterson adds.

The struggle between Qatar Airways and Airbus over the A350’s fuselage paint is attracting wider circles. Lufthansa and other airlines are said to have had problems before. First was 13So far, Qatar Airways has ground 20 of its 53 Airbus A350 aircraft. The airline cites instructions from its aviation authority and defects in the fuselage coating. In October, CEO Akbar al-Baker reported cracks in the composite materials and a deterioration in lightning protection. Airbus now told the news agency Reuters, which first published photos of the damage, there were some problems with “premature surface erosion”. In some cases, this also revealed the network architecture used for lightning protection. According to Reuters informants, Qatar Airways and at least one other airline have reported damage to the same network. This, in turn, exposed the structure underneath to the effects of the weather. Finnair already had its first problems in 2016 The European aircraft manufacturer also stated that the A350 had adequate protection and that issues with the grille structure had been resolved. In addition, Airbus noted that some airlines are exposed to greater temperature fluctuations. However, maintenance documents available to Reuters show that the airline from the desert state of Qatar is not the first to run into problems. Accordingly, Finnair first raised concerns about the coating in 2016 and then reported in 2019 that damage had spread to the network topology. “We can confirm that we have had some issues with the paint job on the A350, and we are working with Airbus to resolve those issues,” a Finnair spokesperson said. It is an unfortunate problem but it is purely cosmetic. Lufthansa was also affected Cathay Pacific complained of paint problems early after delivery. Hong Kong Airlines told Reuters that some of its A350s had “experienced some cosmetic deterioration”. But this has been fully investigated and there is no impact on safety. According to the maintenance documents that the news agency had In 2017, Lufthansa also had paint peeling problems. Some sites are said to have spanned over a square metre. However, the German airline only talks about occasional cosmetic defects that have been remedied and have never posed a safety risk. The union is out of sight Etihad Airways and Air France, as service provider to Air Caraibes, also complained about paint damage. The golf company and France’s national airline do not comment on this. Air Caraibes said it “doesn’t have major paint problems,” particularly for safety. “Tv expert. Hardcore creator.

The future of travel will no doubt be shaped by the images generated by the James Webb Space Telescope. They are nothing short of incredible, and will no doubt fuel interest in traveling to outer space. I mean, what intrepid globe-trotter wouldn’t want to trot on other globes? Shuttling sapiens to the stars. Soon, airlines like United, American, Delta, and Southwest will start adding extraterrestrial routes. And while Venus is the nearest globe, it’s average temperature of 800°F makes it unbearable to everyone except Florida’s octogenarians, who consider it “sweater weather.” The next-closest planet, Mars, is a far more hospitable -80°F to -200°F, which isn’t much colder than a Canadian summer. The biggest downside to the future of travel. It’s a loooooong way to other planets. The flight to Mars, for example, takes nine months—and that’s with a tailwind. But don’t worry about being bored, hungry, or uncomfortable during that time, because you’ll be flash-frozen and stacked to the ceiling in coffin-shaped cryo-pods. On the plus side, the frequent flyer bonus you’ll get for traveling 68 million miles could buy you a small house. Boldly go where no one has gone before. You’re sure to get huge likes for selfies in front of Mars’ Olympus Mons, or for hot-wiring NASA’s Curiosity rover to bar-hop through Valles Marineris. But book your flights soon, because it won’t be long before the entire planet is terraformed and colonized by the Amish. (Who did you think was behind the Apollo moon landing hoax? The Russians? Wake up!)

China to launch its first moon rover mission next weektext_fields Beijing: China will launch its first ever mission to land an unmanned spacecraft on the lunar surface next week, as it moves forward in its ambitious plan to become the world's pre-eminent space power. The Chang'e-3 moon rover will be launched at 1:30 a.m. on Monday from Xichang Satellite Launch Center, the mission's launching headquarters said here Saturday. China has already sent two moon missions which hovered around the lunar orbit. This will be the first time for China to send an unmanned spacecraft to soft land on the surface of an extraterrestrial body and conduct surveys on the moon. Facilities at the launching site are in good conditions and preparations for the launch are going well, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted the space officials as saying. Chang'e-3 comprises a lander and a moon rover called "Yutu" (Jade Rabbit). The rover was named "Yutu" following an online poll seeking name proposals from the Chinese worldwide. In Chinese folklore, Yutu is the white pet rabbit of Chang'e, worshiped as the moon goddess in China for thousands of years. Tasks for Yutu include surveying the moon's geological structure and surface substances, while looking for natural resources. The Chang'e-3 mission is the second phase of China's lunar programme, which includes orbiting, landing and returning to Earth. China had launched its Chang'e-1 orbiter in 2007 and Chang'e-2 in 2010. The first probe retrieved a great deal of scientific data and a complete map of the moon, while the second created a full high-resolution map of the moon and a high-definition image of Sinus Iridium, a lunar landmark. Chang'e-2 which was launched in 2010 orbited the moon to finish a more extensive probe than its predecessor Chang'e-1. After finishing its objectives in June, 2011, Chang'e-2 left its lunar orbit for an extended mission to the Earth-Sun L2 Lagrangian point, according to Chinese space officials. Besides continuing its lunar programme, China's space programme is focussing on building a permanent space station like Mir, the Russian space station being used by US. China has flown to manned missions to link up with an orbiting module to master the manual and automatic space docking technologies. China's deep-space exploration should go beyond the moon, and the country's scientists are actively preparing to implement plans to explore Mars, Venus and asteroids, said Ye Peijian, chief scientist of the Chang'e-3 programme. "Scientists are always prepared to conduct deep-space exploration and will do it after conditions permit," said Ye. India's Mars mission Mangalyan, which was launched this month, has evoked considerable interest in China as it enabled New Delhi to steal march over Beijing specially with a modest budget of USD 73 million. While announcing the Change-3 mission on November 26, SASTIND spokesman Wu Zhijian congratulated India for the Mars mission, while asserting that China is not in competition with any country in its space programme.

While flight-sim enthusiasts will know about Microsoft’s Flight Simulator, fewer people will have tried X-Plane. Notable for its cross-platform operation – with versions running on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X – this simulator is renowned for its accurate flight modelling. This means that, while it may not always look as pretty in terms of scenery, it’s respected for being more faithful to the real flying experience. You can set the program to start your flight at almost any airport in the world, and thanks to six dual-layer DVDs in the package, you can install suitable graphical scenery to match most of the world’s land masses. There are several planes installed by default, from light aircraft such as Cessna through to big airliners like the Boeing 747 Jumbo – and with a large community of enthusiasts behind this long-standing project who are ‘building’ their own aircraft, many more are available to download and install. The range is vsat, from the Wright Brothers’ first craft through warbirds like the Spitfire, Lancaster and Mustang, to modern fighter jets and passenger craft. Some are free, while the more detailed and accurately rendered usually carry a nominal price; but you can be sure that with the amount of time gone into modelling the core flight physics, they should handle quite faithfully to the real craft they’re based on. In fact, there’s even a version of X-Plane available that’s certified for pilot training by the US federal aviation authority (FAA). In the latest version, installation is easier, with a graphical world map asking you which areas of scenery you’d like to install from the outset, covering every continent bar Antarctica. X-Plane 9.0 still demands a certain amount of patience in setting up – for example, when first installed it complained that global scenery was not installed, as the program had put the necessary files in the wrong directory. Once started, you can either fly by joystick – with or without extras such as rudder pedals – or simply by using the mouse to move the stick in a virtual head-up display. A full range of weather conditions can be engaged, as well as other aircraft, road vehicles and pedestrians. You can treat X-Plane as an educational tool for learning to fly, as a means for ground-bound trained pilots to keep their hand in; or as a way to escape the earth entirely, either by taking the sub-orbital Space Shuttle gliding course or with a trip over Mars, trying to fly in quite different gravity and atmospheric conditions.

The rover was launched successfully July 30, 2020. Its mission is to search for signs of past microbial life and collect rock and dust samples from Mars. The Perseverance rover mounted on an Atlas V rocket — provided by the United Launch Alliance (ULA), a spacecraft launch service provider — sits at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, US. Photo: ULA The Atlas V rocket lifted off towards the red planet at 7:50 a.m. EDT (1150 GMT). NASA initially feared the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) would result in the Perseverance rover missing its three-week launch window. Photo: ULA The liftoff was said to be an important victory for NASA, as a comparable opportunity would not come again until 2022, costing an extra $500 million, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine was quoted as saying by space.com. Photo: ULA The mission, however, suffered a post-launch hiccup, with a glitch that sent the spacecraft into a protective ‘safe mode’. The spacecraft got a little colder than expected when passing through Earth’s shadow. Photo: ULA The spacecraft will, however, return to a normal operations mode July 31, Matt Wallace, deputy programme manager for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), was quoted as saying by space.com.

US: NASA scientists are developing “Orbiting Carbon Observatory” or OCO-2 as the world’s first satellite dedicated to studying carbon dioxide levels. The satellite will focus on tracking the environmental impact of global warming. It will observe forests and oceans to find how they are reacting to higher levels of carbon dioxide. OCO-2 is based on the original OCO mission that failed due to a launch vehicle anomaly in February 2009. Engineers are currently testing OCO-2 at a high-tech facility in Gilbert, Arizona. OCO-2 will operate from 400 miles above the planet”s surface. It will help in tracking the movement of carbon dioxide from automobiles and factories to absorption areas like forests and cold-water seas. Combined with data from other satellites, OCO-2 will also help scientists track crop production, water resources and vegetation health. “It”s obvious that human emissions, particularly within the developing world, have been increasing at a staggering rate. It”s going to affect all of us, for example, if we find that the response of the great rain forests in the Amazon, the Congo and Indonesia is very sensitive to climate change. Along the way, we will naturally uncover information about the patterns of human emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,” said Michael Gunson, project scientist for NASA”s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. NASA plans to launch OCO-2 in July 2014.

I've just reached my destination after 33 hours going from one European hub to another. A journey which usually takes a max of 6 from leaving my house! On the final leg of the journey, after boarding, the pilot asked for volunteers to leave the plane as they were too heavy to take off. They had flown a 50 min flight from my final destination to where I was and, without fuelling, were turning around to go back. They were adamant that the plane was too heavy and (with a print out from one of the flight computers in hand) were asking for 27 people to leave the flight. Is this possible? Because the MTOW of the aircraft is greater than the max landing weight, how could they have landed under max landing weight but now be too heavy to take off? Maybe they flew with no passengers, but exceeded MTOW after adding more passengers and luggage? Any suggestions for question re-phrasing or additional clarity are greatly appreciated.

The Scope of Back Pain in Navy Helicopter Pilots NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA Pagination or Media Count: This thesis investigates issues such as long hours in the cockpit, ineffective seat padding, Night Vision Goggle NVG use, and the constant vibrations involved in flying rotary wing aircraft. Pain is subjective and severity is difficult to compare between individuals. Does back pain affect safety of flight In the military helicopter aviator community, 60-80 of helicopter pilots are estimated to be suffering from back pain Sargent Bachmann, 2010. The Sargent and Bachmann article, written by flight surgeons, suggests that back pain is an issue in the helicopter community. This article also suggests that back pain may be affecting safety of flight but did not have data to support that claim. This thesis provides an analysis of the scope, incidence and severity of back pain in the Naval Aviation helicopter pilot community. Of the helicopter pilots who responded to the survey, 88.1 are experiencing back pain during at least 50 of their flights and 34.4 admit this pain is affecting their situational awareness. This thesis gives the Navy information to decide whether to invest RD funds in anti-vibration seat technology and whether flight safety is affected. - Personnel Management and Labor Relations - Medicine and Medical Research - Optical Detection and Detectors - Human Factors Engineering and Man Machine Systems

The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) last week notified Congress of another massive sale to Gulf countries by American companies. Saudi Arabia is buying air-launched weapons worth $6.8 billion for its new F-15SA Strike Eagles; the UAE is buying air-launched weapons worth $4 billion for its F-16s. The main U.S. contractors to benefit are Boeing (providing SLAM-ER and Harpoon missiles and small-diameter bombs) and Raytheon (providing JSOW missiles and Paveway “smart” bombs). Defense » Military Aircraft News and issues relating to the defense aerospace business, with emphasis on current/in-use, in-development and prospective programs for manned military aircraft and unmanned combat aircraft vehicles (UCAVs). AeroVironment and Eurocopter are exploring opportunities for cooperation. The potential transatlantic team would combine AeroVironment’s unmanned aircraft technology and systems integration skills and knowledge with Eurocopter’s helicopter technology expertise, a Eurocopter spokesman told AIN. MBDA reported a series of successful firings earlier this month of the Brimstone 2 air-surface missile being developed for the UK Royal Air Force (RAF). The new version of the 100-pound-class, low-collateral-damage weapon adds a laser to the original millimeter-wave (MMW) radar guidance system. The missile will be carried by RAF Tornados and, later, Typhoons and F-35s. MBDA is promoting the Brimstone for other platforms, including UAVs such as the Predator/Reaper series. General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) said that an improved version of the Gray Eagle UAV flew for 45.3 hours on a demonstration flight earlier this month. The Gray Eagle was developed for the U.S. Army from the Predator UAS. The Improved Gray Eagle is a higher-power, higher-mtow version that GA-ASI developed using company funds, although the U.S. Army paid for the demo flight, the first of two planned by the end of the year. Airbus Military has launched operations at a services logistics hub at its Seville production facility. The 27,000-sq-ft hub is staffed by 100 people who manage approximately 22,500 different part numbers. It provides spares for the company’s A330MRTT, A400M, C295 and CN-235 series of airlifters and tankers, and their ground equipment. It is certified to EASA Part 145 standards. Companies proposing either tiltrotor or compound helicopter designs have won contracts from the U.S. Army for its joint multi-role technology demonstration (JMR TD) Phase 1 program to develop a next-generation vertical-lift aircraft. The future of the Russian navy aircraft carrier component is in doubt after the Russian defense ministry decided to have its nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser, the Admiral Nakhimov, rather than its aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, repaired and refitted at Sevmash, the nation’s largest dockyard. India’s attorney general, Goolamhussein Essaji Vahanvati, ruled last week that AgustaWestland breached contractual obligations and an associated “integrity pact” in winning a $787 million contract to supply 12 AW101 VIP helicopters to the Indian Air Force (IAF) in 2010, raising the possibility the government will cancel the deal. The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) halted the development of an alternate helmet-mounted display system (HMDS) for the Joint Strike Fighter, signaling the resolution of a potentially serious technical complication the program faced. Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II notched its 10,000th flight hour in September, and by the end of the month the combined Joint Strike Fighter fleet had flown 6,492 times for 10,077 hours. Illustrating the momentum that the program has built since operational production aircraft began training operations, more than half the total was amassed in the past 11 months. It had previously taken the program six years to reach the 5,000-hour milestone.

WARPSPACE, which is building a high-speed optical laser communication network in space, and Synspective, which provides solutions through satellite data analysis, develops and operates small SAR satellites, and provides SAR data, have agreed to proceed with technical verification using software to analyze data acquisition frequency and speed when using an optical laser communication network. Rocket development, planetary exploration, space travel, space internet, and big data from space, also known as the “space industry,” once considered a dream, is now said to be a $350 billion market. The industry is expected to keep a steady growth and surpass $1 trillion * by 2040. Various technological breakthroughs have led to such growth in the space industry market. We are exposed to and benefit from a variety of information via the Internet every day, which is supported by a robust communication network. The Internet enables the collection of diverse and latest data, simplifying people’s decision-making. There is no doubt that the strengthening of communication networks will play an essential role in the acquisition of information in space as well. By increasing the speed and frequency of satellite communication, the cycle of sending data acquired by satellites to the ground can be accelerated. WARPSPACE and Synspective are Japanese space startups trying to strengthen the network in space. WARPSPACE plans to build a high-speed optical laser communications network in 2024 and 2025 that will enable users to obtain satellite data within 30 minutes. Hiromitsu Azuma, COO of WARPSPACE, sees a vast potential for this network to build a better society. “We are using optical laser communication technology to develop networks that can transmit large amounts of data to the ground at unprecedented speeds. We are building the foundation for shaping various solutions to improve society.” Toshihiro Obata, CTO of Synspective, also sees the same. “We are sure you all feel stressed when your computer is not connected to the Internet. With the Internet, collecting a vast amount of new information has become possible, allowing people to make more accurate judgments.” While Synspective has ways of doing it, Toshihiro says, “We are trying to do the same in the space field.” Synspective aims to build a constellation of 30 small SAR satellites by 2026 and already provides satellite data by SAR satellites that can obtain the earth’s topography and structures from the operation of two satellites and other diverse external data using machine learning, extracting the necessary information and providing solutions to customer organizing the data according to the purpose. With this agreement in effect, the two companies intend to verify the amount and frequency of data acquisition when using high-speed optical laser communication networks. If beneficial verification results are obtained, parties will proceed to technical verification for placing optical laser communication terminals on observation satellites. Eventually, when the network in space is strengthened through collaboration, it will provide a greater volume of new data to the ground. These data will be helpful as observation information through daily monitoring and as data for disaster relief efforts and disaster mitigation to minimize the damage caused by natural disasters such as floods and forest fires, which are becoming more severe and frequent worldwide. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and other organizations are conducting field tests. Hiromitsu sees much potential in this collaboration. “Synspective is a Japanese company that shares the same world view. We are honored to be working with Synspective, and we will do our utmost to help them utilize more satellite data and realize a more livable society together.” Toshihiro also shared his thoughts and added, “We are looking forward to WARPSPACE’s services contributing to our efforts to evolve society into a “learning world” by developing a network that connects information obtained in distant space to our customers.” *Data from “Haver Analytics Morgan Stanley Research”

Prof Michele Dougherty Michele Dougherty is a space physicist who is leading unmanned exploratory missions to Saturn and Jupiter. Amongst other important findings, her work led to the discovery of an atmosphere containing water and hydrocarbons around Saturn’s moon Enceladus — opening up new possibilities in the search for life. Michele is principal investigator for the magnetometer (MAG) instrument onboard the Cassini spacecraft on its mission to explore Saturn and its neighbourhood. She and her team measured the level and direction of magnetic materials from the atmosphere of Saturn and the moons visited by Cassini. Michele’s innovative use of magnetic field data has therefore had an enormous impact on our understanding of the moons in our Solar System. Michele was the lead investigator for the European Space Agency’s JUICE spacecraft, scheduled to go into orbit around Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, in 2032, and was recently selected as Principal Investigator for its magnetometer. She received the Royal Society’s 2008 Hughes Medal and a prestigious Research Professorship in 2014, which enables her to focus on her research throughout this important space mission. |Date||Talk at GAS meeting| |5 May 2016||The JUICE spacecraft mission to the Jupiter system.

As a top-tier supplier to Boeing, Airbus, defense contractors and business jet manufacturers, Rockwell Collins has a stake in many parts of the aerospace and defense industry. Kelly Ortberg, who became CEO of the Iowa-based company last July, sat down with Aviation Week at Farnborough for a wide-ranging discussion. Among the topics discussed: Worries Of An Aircraft Order Bubble. “That concern seems to be really prevalent in the investment community, but not in the supplier community,” says Ortberg. He notes that Airbus and Boeing made it through the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression largely unscathed, thanks to overbooking of orders that offset cancellations. “There’s a lot of buffer. They could reschedule 20% of these backlogs” and it still would not affect production rates. The F-35’s No-Show At Farnborough. Rockwell Collins manufactures the F-35 Lightning II's Helmet Mounted Display System, so Ortberg obviously was disappointed when an engine fire kept the Lockheed Martin fighter jet from coming to Farnborough for a flight demonstration. But he remains confident the program will get back on track. “This issue is just a bump in the road.” The CSeries' No-Show At Farnborough. The new Bombardier passenger jet, which is equipped with Rockwell Collins’ Pro Line Fusion avionics, had its air show debut scuttled when a May 29 engine failure forced its grounding. But Ortberg thinks that is also a temporary problem. “New airplanes aren’t for the faint of heart. That’s why we do flight test programs. I believe the airplane, when it meets its efficiency targets, will find its niche in the marketplace.” Business Jet Market Outlook. “We have not called for a rapid recovery, particularly at the low end. We think it’s going to recover fairly slowly, and where it’s going to recover will be driven by new models, as opposed to a major lift in production rates of existing models.” Prospects for a Supersonic Business Jet. “I think that would be a niche application. I’m not sure I see that value.” The Debate Over Whether To Kill the U.S. Ex-Im Bank. “It would hurt the entire supply chain, because it would limit the number of aircraft that can be financed in certain regions.” The Keys To a Happy Workforce. “Attrition was a concern about two years ago, but I’m not so worried right now. Retention of our workforce is really good. Keeping them engaged in that first five years it what it’s all about.”

There is a recently installed frequency converter with a long run to the aircraft parking spot. For some aircraft everything just works but other aircraft won’t accept the power or rejects the power, and the diesel unit must be dragged out to provide the power. Everyone is upset about the downtime, lost productivity and increased costs. What is happening? The Cable Culprits While there is a chance that there is something wrong with the frequency converter, the more likely culprit is the cable providing the power to the aircraft. On an aircraft the voltage drops in the 400 Hz wiring are well within the allowed tolerance levels due to the short distances and lower currents. The same can not be said for the cable providing power to the entire aircraft. So what is happening at 400 Hz that makes the cable such a critical factor? There are three basic types of aircraft power cables: three power cables and one neutral banded together every three to four feet; the same number of cables twisted together and enclosed in a scuff-resistant jacket; and six smaller power wires (typically AWG #2 for 90 kVA rated cables) twisted around a neutral wire and enclosed in a scuff-resistant jacket. All of these cables can have from 2 to 18 smaller control wires for the E&F circuit, ON/OFF pushbuttons, UP/DOWN/IN/OUT pushbuttons and for status LEDs. In all of these cables, the number of wires in the cable, the configuration of the power wires to the neutral and to each other, as well as the size of the wires all affect the voltage presented to the aircraft from the cable plug. Per STANAG 3456, ATA 101 and MIL-STD 704F, the voltage at the external power receptacle of an aircraft must stay within 113 to 118 VAC. Four wire banded cables are the least expensive cables and are typically used in low-power applications (< 40 kVA) where the voltage drop is lower due to lower currents. This is crucial because the inductance of the cable is different each time the cable is pulled out to an aircraft. Since the cable is only banded every three to four feet, the distance between the phase wires changes, and thus the voltage drop and the phase-to-phase voltage differs with the changing inductance. An additional disadvantage of this cable configuration is that the cables have to be replaced more frequently since they don’t have the extra insulation of a single jacket to provide scuff protection as the cable is dragged across the concrete apron to the aircraft. Single-jacketed four-wire cables are more expensive than the banded cable, and are typically used in low- power applications up to 60 kVA. These cables have a consistent phase-to-phase voltage (though the voltage drops are different between phases since the core distance is different between phases). If the phase-to-phase voltage is critical in the aircraft being supported, then the frequency converter or voltage-drop compensation equipment must be capable of adjusting each phase voltage independently. The standard single-jacketed six-around-one cable can support up to 90 kVA loads (this is the maximum rating for a standard aircraft power receptacle). Due to the construction of these cables, they provide the best voltage drop per foot characteristics of any aircraft cable and have the tightest phase-to-phase voltage tolerances due to the configuration of the cable. While these cables cost more to purchase, they also reduce power inconsistencies at higher loads which increases uptime and lowers maintenance costs and headaches. Voltage Drop Compensation Some frequency converters come equipped with an automatic voltage- drop compensation circuit. These units require separate voltage sensing wires in the aircraft cables and typically provide 7 percent to 12 percent voltage compensation. Piller frequency converters can use these wires as well, but they also have a separate capability (Intelligent-Boost) which measures the output current and the load power factor and automatically and precisely adjusts the output voltage without requiring the sense wires. If the frequency converter in use doesn’t have the ability to automatically adjust the output voltage or it doesn’t have enough range, then voltage-drop compensation equipment should be considered. These units are used to increase the length of an aircraft cable before the voltage drop reduces the voltage to the aircraft below the allowed tolerances (typically 112 – 113 VAC). The basic line drop compensator (LDC) consists of one or two capacitors and a transformer per phase which are used to add a fixed amount of capacitance to counteract the cable inductance at a specific load, cable type and length. The transformer usually has between seven and 10 taps that are used to adjust the percent of capacitance that is added to the line. An LDC is setup using a resistive and reactive load bank that are typically set to the maximum load that is expected to be supported with the aircraft cable. The major problem for this type of device is that the capacitance is fixed for a specific inductance and power factor. If either of these changes significantly, then the applied capacitance could result in an out of tolerance voltage condition at the aircraft receptacle. The line voltage regulator (LVR) was developed by Piller to provide varying amounts of capacitance based on the actual current and voltage being supplied to the aircraft. This device can maintain the aircraft receptacle phase-to-phase and phase-to-neutral voltages to within +/- 1.5 volts at any load. Thus, a boarding gate or maintenance area that is equipped with an LVR can handle any aircraft or load without requiring any tuning after the initial setup. When it is determined that there is a voltage-drop problem, there are several options to try in order to solve the problem. Shortening the cable will lower the voltage drop, especially for higher current loads. If using banded cable, try replacing it with a seven-conductor single-jacketed cable to reduce voltage variations and voltage drops for a given length. If the shortest, single-jacketed cable that is adequate for the aircraft spot is already being used, then consider adding an LDC or LVR to the circuit.

According to NASA, we are currently in a solar maximum period. These cycles are capable of creating space storms—what are known as "Carrington Events," named after astronomer Richard Carrington who witnessed a particularly nasty solar flare back in 1859. The flare he documented resulted in electrified transmission cables, fires in telegraph offices, and Northern Lights so bright that people could read newspapers by their red and green glow...in Mexico. If this is what happened in 1859, imagine what would happen today. Well, we're starting to have some idea—and the news is pretty bad. A recent report by the National Academy of Sciences found that if a similar storm occurred today, it could cause $1 to 2 trillion in damages to society's high-tech infrastructure and require four to ten years for complete recovery. It could damage everything from emergency services’ systems, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control devices, through to everyday items such as home computers, iPods and GPS's. Because of our heavy reliance on electronic devices, which are sensitive to magnetic energy, the storm could leave a multi-billion dollar damage bill and cataclysmic-scale problems for governments. Worse than this, however, would be the potential length of blackouts. According to a Metatech Corporation study, an event like the 1921 geomagnetic storm would result in large-scale blackouts affecting more than 130 million people and would expose more than 350 transformers to the risk of permanent damage. It could take months—if not years—to put everybody back on the grid. For more reading, I recommend the NASA report, "Severe Space Weather Events--Understanding Societal and Economic Impacts: A Workshop Report" (2008). Excerpt: Modern society depends heavily on a variety of technologies that are susceptible to the extremes of space weather—severe disturbances of the upper atmosphere and of the near-Earth space environment that are driven by the magnetic activity of the Sun. Strong auroral currents can disrupt and damage modern electric power grids and may contribute to the corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Magnetic storm-driven ionospheric density disturbances interfere with high-frequency (HF) radio communications and navigation signals from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, while polar cap absorption (PCA) events can degrade—and, during severe events, completely black out—HF communications along transpolar aviation routes, requiring aircraft flying these routes to be diverted to lower latitudes. Exposure of spacecraft to energetic particles during solar energetic particle events and radiation belt enhancements can cause temporary operational anomalies, damage critical electronics, degrade solar arrays, and blind optical systems such as imagers and star trackers.Read more. The effects of space weather on modern technological systems are well documented in both the technical literature and popular accounts. Most often cited perhaps is the collapse within 90 seconds of northeastern Canada’s Hydro-Quebec power grid during the great geomagnetic storm of March 1989, which left millions of people without electricity for up to 9 hours. This event exemplifies the dramatic impact that extreme space weather can have on a technology upon which modern society in all of its manifold and interconnected activities and functions critically depends. Nearly two decades have passed since the March 1989 event. During that time, awareness of the risks of extreme space weather has increased among the affected industries, mitigation strategies have been developed, new sources of data have become available (e.g., the upstream solar wind measurements from the Advanced Composition Explorer), new models of the space environment have been created, and a national space weather infrastructure has evolved to provide data, alerts, and forecasts to an increasing number of users. Now, 20 years later and approaching a new interval of increased solar activity, how well equipped are we to manage the effects of space weather? Have recent technological developments made our critical technologies more or less vulnerable? How well do we understand the broader societal and economic impacts of extreme space weather events? Are our institutions prepared to cope with the effects of a “space weather Katrina,” a rare, but according to the historical record, not inconceivable eventuality?

While private jet providers say reliability is improving, they are facing a variety of issues that are impacting on-time operations and costs Speaking on three different panels during Corporate Jet Investor, several private jet charter operator and broker executives say they are seeing no let-up in demand – or cost inflation. Vista overhauls VistaJet and XO jet card and membership offerings with a combination of fixed and dynamic pricing options Vista Global is shuffling its line-up of membership options, a move it signaled when it stopped selling the XO Elite Access fixed-rate program in July, a move we exclusively reported. Vista Global has added two rescue aircraft to fly parts and mechanics to its private jets when they have mechanical issues away from the base One cause for private jet delays is aircraft repair delays when they have mechanical issues away from their base. Thomas Flohr has officially added Jet Edge and Air Hamburg to VistaJet, XOJet, XO, Talon Air, Red Wing Aviation, and Apollo Jets Vista Global has closed its acquisitions of Air Hamburg and Jet Edge, the company said. It adds over 100 aircraft and brings the Vista Global combined fleet to over 350 private jets.

New NBAA tool helps members navigate customs at hundreds of GA airports NBAA has created a valuable resource for its members that details critical port-of-entry information at more than 300 general aviation (GA) airports across America. The new GA Airport Fact Sheet tool collates hundreds of airport fact sheets created and distributed by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). These fact sheets include office hours, service hours for entrance and clearance, contact information, permission to land procedures and key information about the inspection process for GA aircraft entering the US. “One of the biggest issues clearing customs for the GA community is that no two ports of entry are exactly alike, said Brian Koester, CAM, NBAA director, flight operations and regulations. "There are many nuances in the procedures and processing standards at each airport, and that can be challenging when clearing customs, especially if you regularly use different airports as your entry point to the US.” “These CBP facts sheets are a great way to document the expectations at each GA airport, and NBAA is happy to contribute its part to give business aviation operators an easy-to-use, one-stop resource where you can access the fact sheets while CBP creates its own online tool,” Koester added. NBAA will update the archive regularly as CBP revises and releases new fact sheets. The tool is planned to be a temporary resource and will redirect users to CBP’s official website once it is active. “The business aviation community is grateful to CBP for creating these important fact sheets and bringing much-needed transparency to general aviation processing standards and procedure,” said Koester. “NBAA will continue to support and promote CBP’s GA fact sheets and every other initiative that enhances the safety, security and integrity of our industry and the National Airspace System.” BlueSky Business Aviation News | 15th February 2024 | Issue #735

If a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, as a Chinese proverb suggests, how then does a voyage of 442 million miles from Earth to Mars begin? For Bruce Jakosky, the associate director for science at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder, the mission concept to study Mars’ atmosphere commenced with an hour-long phone call. Jakosky, who’s also a professor in the Department of Geological Sciences, vividly recalls the day during the summer of 2003 when he chatted with Janet Luhmann and Bob Lin, two colleagues at the University of California (UC) Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory. The trio discussed the compelling need for a mission to explore Mars’ climate history to better understand how the planet had shifted from a warmer, wetter planet in the distant past to the cold, barren place it is today. That single phone call was the start of a novel journey, brilliantly led by Jakosky, to send the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission to the Red Planet. The word “maven” means an expert or connoisseur, an appellation that also appropriately describes Jakosky and his knowledge of—and affinity for—the planet Mars. He’s been exploring the Red Planet since the 1970s, when he analyzed data from the Viking missions as an undergraduate. In 1982 he earned a Ph.D. at Caltech, where he studied the seasonal behavior of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere, and he has continued to study, speak, and teach about Mars ever since. Given his strong interest in our neighboring planet, it’s hardly surprising that Jakosky quickly became the MAVEN principal investigator (PI). In partnership with Lockheed Martin, Goddard Spaceflight Center, and numerous other Mars researchers, he led the team that developed the concept and ultimately built, launched, and commanded the MAVEN mission to Mars. The prime mission lasted only one year, long enough to observe a single season of Mars’ two-year orbit around the Sun. The mission was so successful that it was extended, then extended again, and again, and again, and it continues to operate just as productively today, seven years after first reaching the Red Planet. This year, with the mission’s payload of state-of-the-art instruments still making groundbreaking discoveries, Jakosky decided to step down as the mission’s PI to focus more of his time on scientific research. As Jakosky hands over the mission management duties to MAVEN’s new PI, UC Berkeley’s Shannon Curry, his contributions cannot be overstated. Under Jakosky’s expert guidance and leadership, the project evolved from a short conversation to a spacecraft that has successfully orbited within the harsh environment of Mars’ atmosphere for seven years while maintaining fully functioning instrumentation. These have produced a goldmine of new data about the planet that has resulted in more than 700 scientific publications. His dedication to the training of the next generation of scientists has resulted in the MAVEN team endorsing nearly two dozen Ph.D. dissertations. Ultimately, MAVEN has exceeded all expectations in fulfilling its scientific goals, including understanding the mechanisms by which Mars is losing volatiles (such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water) through escape to space, as well as gaining insight into the long-term history of Mars’ atmosphere and climate. It is no small task to turn an idea into a functional space flight mission to another planet. A mission like MAVEN involves hundreds of people: scientists, engineers, technicians, computer scientists, managers, accountants, and many more support staff. It is truly a team effort and a team success. But that success requires the right person at the helm to organize the effort, ride through the crises that inevitably arise, and recognize when to listen and when to command, all the while keeping the end scientific goals in sight and keeping up morale with a sense of humor. Bruce Jakosky has done an amazing job leading MAVEN, and as a Mars ‘maven’ himself, he has simultaneously made significant scientific contributions to the NASA planetary community and the public. His career is living proof that it’s not the length of the journey that matters; it’s the first, bold step forward that really counts. Written by Frank Eparvier, MAVEN co-investigator and LASP’s instrument scientist on the MAVEN mission’s Extreme Ultraviolet Monitor (EUV).

Jump to navigation Two UA-managed telescopes have aided in the serendipitous discovery of the brightest quasar ever seen in the early universe, which suggests there could be more waiting to be discovered. An international team led by Teddy Kareta, a doctoral student at the UA's Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, investigated (3200) Phaethon, a bizarre asteroid that sometimes behaves like a comet, and found it even more enigmatic than previously thought. In a new study by UA planetary scientists, observations prove that ice volcanoes on the dwarf planet Ceres generate enough material to fill one movie theater each year. Researchers in the UA Lunar and Planetary Lab are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Parker Solar Probe, the first attempt to get close to the sun and study the solar wind at its source. Data obtained by a clever technique that can detect light echoes hint at why Eta Carinae, the most luminous and massive star in the Milky Way, erupted like a supernova, yet survived. University of Arizona astronomy students searched 101 massive clouds of gas to find those that may be in the first phases of forming massive stars. Scientists from around the world are working on the NASA Curiosity rover mission. What makes the UA's Mars Science Laboratory team unique is undergraduate student Gordon Downs. A team of scientists led by the UA has imaged a cluster of about 110 protoplanetary disks in the Orion Nebula, and the findings may provide insights into the birth of our solar system. The asteroid that blew up in the sky on June 2 was discovered by the UA-led Catalina Sky Survey using a telescope that helped discover about half of all known near-Earth objects. Michael Sori, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, used careful mathematical calculations to determine the density of Mercury’s crust, which is thinner than anyone thought.

U.S. to base drones in Japan TOKYO — The U.S. military will deploy long-range Global Hawk surveillance drones from Japan next year, U.S. and Japanese officials announced on Thursday, marking the first time the Pentagon has been able to secure basing rights for the advanced unmanned aircraft in Northeast Asia. The Air Force will begin flying “two or three” Global Hawks from an undetermined base in Japan next spring, a senior U.S. administration official told reporters during a visit here by Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. The drones' primary mission will be to fly near North Korea, an area where U.S. officials hope they will greatly enhance current spying capabilities. The Air Force already has Global Hawks stationed at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, the U.S. territory in the Pacific, but North Korea is at the edge of their range, and their flights often are curtailed because of bad weather. The Air Force also has Global Hawks stationed in the Persian Gulf. The unarmed drones carry multiple spy sensors and are the most advanced surveillance aircraft in the Air Force's fleet. They fly at altitudes above 60,000 feet, placing them out of range of most air defenses. Without pilots in the cockpit, they can fly for more than 28 hours at a time, giving them an unmatched range of nearly 9,000 nautical miles. The presence of Global Hawks in East Asia is sure to irritate China, which has increasingly pushed back against the U.S. military presence in the region. Officials in Beijing had criticized Tokyo in recent days over reports that the Japanese military was considering acquiring its own Global Hawks, saying the move could escalate tensions. China also is engaged in a bitter territorial dispute with Japan over the Senkaku Islands, an uninhabited group of outcroppings in the East China Sea that Japan nationalized last year, sparking confrontations between the two countries' ships deployed in the area. Besides flying missions over North Korea, the Global Hawks presumably would give the United States and Japan better information about the movements of Chinese ships in the vicinity of Senkaku. The same goes for Chinese ships elsewhere in the region, such as the South China Sea, where China is mired in territorial disputes with the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and other countries. In addition to the Global Hawks, P-8 maritime surveillance patrol aircraft will start to be deployed in Japan in December, U.S. and Japanese officials announced. It would be the first time the aircraft will be stationed outside the United States. “The cutting-edge capabilities of the P-8, which I saw demonstrated last summer, will greatly enhance” the allies' ability to conduct surveillance, particularly over the open seas, Hagel said at a joint news conference with Kerry, Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.

At a time when India is evolving as a great power, economically as well as militarily, the country has gained immense expertise in designing and developing state-of-the-art defence systems. This accomplishment has made it enter into an elite club of powerful nations at the global stage having the capability to build their own military platforms and systems. A perfect emblem of India’s growing military might is the BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile system. BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile has been indomitably scaling greater heights of success since its inception in 1998. The journey of BRAHMOS Joint Venture started on February 12, 1998 after the landmark signing of the Inter-Governmental Agreement at Moscow, by the Government of India and Government of Russia. Since its historic maiden launch on June 12, 2001, the BRAHMOS supersonic cruise missile system has charted many milestones and strengthened all three services of the Indian Armed Forces. The BRAHMOS Joint Venture (JV), a unique role-model between India’s Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia’s JSC MIC NPO Mashinostroyeniya (NPOM), has today become a shining example of Indian-Russian military and technological cooperation. The supersonic cruise missile with its multi-role capability, universality and utmost lethality, has carved a distinct place for itself in the Indian Armed Forces. The weapon stands out as the only universal supersonic cruise missile system in the whole world with the capability of neutralising land or sea-based targets.

Black Virgin Mountain (Nui Ba Den) The Black Virgin Mountain (Nui Ba Den) rose from the rice paddies just a few miles from Tay Ninh. Tay Ninh airfield elevation was about 200 feet above sea level and Nui Ba Den rose to around 4000 feet. It was as if someone had just placed this mountain out in the middle of the delta. It was great for returning pilots, because if you had any visibility, just fly toward the only mountain for miles around and you’d get home. Of course, during bad weather and no or limited visibility, it could really cause your “puker factor” to increase, since you knew it was out there and couldn’t see it. Tay Ninh and the airfield were located a few miles from the base, a Special Forces radio relay site on top, guarded by Mong CIDG forces, and lots of VC in between. The mountain was riddled with caves to hide the bad guys. The Mountain and I had a few run-ins. Early in my career as a new Aircraft Commander (AC) I was running some single ship re-supply missions for the Special Forces out of Tay Ninh City. We had been resupplying SF camps all around the Tay Ninh area and had made a couple of runs into Nui Ba Den already that day. As the day wore on, we had a couple of loads to complete. I eyeballed the remaining supplies to the mountain and decided we could haul it all in one trip rather than divide it between two. My desire to get finished with a long day of flying and save maybe an hour, was an error that was costly. We loaded about 70-80 cases of soda and beer on board, along with a few other supplies and headed for the mountain. My crew that day was CW2 Frank Kurinec, pilot, SP4 Hudec, gunner, and SP5 Jorgensen, CE. I had made all the runs up to the mountain that day, so Kurinec wanted a shot at this one. I should have known I was in trouble during the take off, we used a lot of runway and bumped our skids once. I reasoned that we would burn off enough fuel en-route to lighten the landing gross weight. Unfortunately, I forgot to compute in the increased altitude of the landing site in my mental computations. The flight to the mountain was uneventful and on approach, Frank decided to demonstrate how they did mountain landings in Puerto Rico where he had flown prior to Vietnam. That sounded fine to me, Frank was a CW2 with more non-combat experience than me, so I was up for learning something. Unfortunately what I would learn would be expensive. Frank came into the landing pad shallow, a no-no for mountain flying and with the already overloaded aircraft, as they say, we ran out of “pitch, power, and ideas” all at the same time. As the aircraft lost power, we settled behind a conex between us and the landing pad. Knowing we weren’t going to make it, I took the controls and tried to abort the landing to the left, down the mountain slope. I lowered the cyclic to reduce the pitch and attempt to get rotor rpm back, but before we could completely recover, the blades contact the upslope of the mountain. The aircraft rolled over to the left and made a couple of complete revolutions, coming to rest upright, just a few feet from a 200-300 foot shear drop off. Sodas and beer were scattered everywhere. So were the CIDG troops stationed on the mountain, not trying to rescue us, but to retrieve the sodas and beer. I knew I was alive when I saw Frank’s butt headed up the side of the mountain, scrambling on all fours. After a few feet, he stopped and came back to assist the rest of the crew in getting out. Hudec was thrown clear, I was still strapped in, and Jorgie was hanging out the left side by his monkey harness. He was the only one with any injury, a sprained ankle from being thrown around during the roll-over. The SF and radio guys came out to help us, make sure we were alright, and to make sure they secured their share of the soda and beer. We pulled out the radios and sensitive equipment and sit down to wait on someone to pick us up. The aircraft was totally destroyed. One of our sister ships came in about an hour later and evacuated us from the top of the mountain. The aircraft hulk was retrieved the next day and brought back to Tay Ninh for salvage. This is a photograph of the aftermath of some bad decision making that day. Aircraft 829 was a great aircraft. Originally named “Gook Spook”, I had renamed it “Super Huey” when I was made Aircraft Commander (AC). It was also the aircraft I was flying on August 7, 1967, when we lost a large number of aircraft shot down.

Joining MotoArt on its historic quest to catalog all of Delta’s aircraft is the Boeing 767-300. Introducing one of Delta’s long haul powerhouses from 1998 to 2017 - meet N143DA. The 767 is a twin engine, wide-body aircraft, designed and built by Boeing. The -300 type has a longer fuselage than the 767-200 by 21.1 ft (6.43 m), accomplished by adding portions before and behind the wings for an overall length of 180.25 ft (54.9 m). The wings, engines, and most of the equipment on the 767-300 were virtually unmodified from the -200. It seated 269 passengers over a range of 3,900 NM. The added capacity of the 767-300 was put to use on high-density, long haul routes. Delta received its first 767, a -200 model, in October 1982 and as of 2022 has 65 767-300ER and -400ER’s in active service and remains the largest commercial operator of Boeing 767s globally. OUR PLANE'S STORY Our 767, N143DA, was constructed as a -300 series (non-ER variant) and delivered to Delta in October 1998. N143DA flew exclusively for Delta for 19 years until retirement, then stored at KSBD in May 2017. MotoArt is elated to continue the Delta Air Lines PlaneTags collection with this historic 767-332.

Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin made light of dangers to haul Russia out of the ISS in a meeting on state TV, saying they would allow NASA a year’s notification prior to leaving. Whenever the three American and one German space traveler went off-world a half year prior there were no inquiries concerning continuous collaboration between the US and Russian groups keeping up with the orbital station. In any case, sanctions forced because of Russia’s attack of Ukraine have changed that math. Late remarks from Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin have incited worries about the short term of the task. Roscosmos head seems to withdraw danger Last weekend Mr Rogozin tried to address fears about an abrupt Moscow withdrawal while addressing state TV, focusing on that Roscosmos would allow NASA a year’s notification prior to pulling out. The assertion of confidence appeared to be what NASA and the European Space Agency required. Three additional Americans and an Italian space traveler supplanted the leaving spacefarers in another SpaceX send off the week before. NASA chairman Bill Nelson said in late April that he anticipates that Russia should keep taking part in the ISS no matter what the assents past 2024. Notwithstanding threats on Earth the space explorers have not announced any troubles and the mission control groups in both Houston and Moscow have kept on coordinating without challenge. The ongoing global working arrangement covering the ISS – which Russia has marked – goes on until 2024 and NASA presently plans to keep working the station until 2031. Crashing the ISS into a ‘rocket burial ground’ In any case, in plans distributed for the fate of the ISS, the space office has recommended the 444,615kg construction could be removed from circle in January 2031 and collided with a “shuttle graveyard”. In the ideal situation, the space station’s circling elevation will be gradually brought down from its ongoing height of 408km (253 miles). As the height of the ISS drops it will experience a consistently denser climate, adding more drag and pulling it lower still. The space station will in any case be voyaging quick to the point that it will start to intensity and cast off flotsam and jetsam in a way behind it. The arrangement to stay away from this trash harming individuals or property is to have the ISS collide with a uninhabited region of the south Pacific Ocean, close to Point Nemo. Point Nemo has been known as a shuttle burial ground in light of the fact that – as the point on the Earth generally far off from any land – it is where decommissioned rocket are regularly pointed while getting back to the Earth.

Moreover, the Philippines’ cultural diversity and welcoming atmosphere make it an attractive destination for international students seeking a fulfilling learning experience beyond the confines of the classroom. Is the Philippines Positioned to Become the Top Pilot Training Destination for Turkish Students? While the Philippines offers many advantages for Turkish students pursuing pilot training, it faces stiff competition from other popular aviation training destinations. Factors such as cost-effectiveness, regulatory frameworks, infrastructure development, and industry reputation all play crucial roles in determining a country’s appeal as a pilot training destination. While the Philippines has made significant strides in these areas, it must continue to invest in its aviation infrastructure, maintain high training standards, and adapt to evolving industry trends to remain competitive on a global scale. With strategic planning and ongoing improvements, the Philippines has the potential to solidify its position as a top choice for Turkish students seeking quality pilot training experiences. Can a Turkish Citizen Become a Pilot in the Philippines? Yes, Turkish citizens can pursue pilot training in the Philippines. The country welcomes international students from diverse backgrounds to enroll in its flight schools and undergo comprehensive training programs. However, aspiring Turkish pilots must meet certain eligibility requirements set forth by the Philippine Civil Aviation Authority (CAAP) and individual flight schools, including age restrictions, medical fitness, and educational qualifications. Additionally, Turkish students may need to obtain appropriate visas and permits to study and train in the Philippines legally. With proper planning, dedication, and adherence to regulatory guidelines, Turkish citizens can fulfill their aspirations of becoming pilots in the Philippines and embark on rewarding careers in aviation. Cost of Pilot Training in the Philippines for Turkish Students: The cost of studying pilot training in the Philippines for Turkish students can vary depending on several factors such as the flight school, type of aircraft used for training, duration of the program, and additional expenses like accommodation and living costs. Generally, the total cost for obtaining a Private Pilot License (PPL) in the Philippines ranges from $30,000 to $40,000 USD. For Commercial Pilot License (CPL) and Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), the cost can be significantly higher, ranging from $60,000 to $100,000 USD. It’s essential for Turkish students to research and compare different flight schools to find the best option that fits their budget and training needs. Eligibility for Pilot Training in the Philippines: In the Philippines, individuals who are at least 17 years old and have completed secondary education (high school) are generally eligible for pilot training. Additionally, applicants must pass medical examinations to ensure they meet the physical requirements for flying. English proficiency is also essential as aviation communication is conducted primarily in English. Turkish students who meet these requirements can pursue pilot training in the Philippines. Pilot Training in the Philippines for Turkish Students: The Philippines is a popular destination for pilot training due to several factors such as favorable weather conditions, modern aviation infrastructure, experienced flight instructors, and cost-effective training programs compared to many Western countries. The country offers diverse terrain and airspace, providing students with valuable experience in various flying conditions. Additionally, the multicultural environment in the Philippines can be enriching for Turkish students, offering opportunities for cultural exchange and personal growth. Cheapest Country for Pilot Training for Turkish Students: While the Philippines offers relatively affordable pilot training compared to many countries, other nations such as India, South Africa, and some Eastern European countries may offer even lower costs for pilot training. However, it’s essential for Turkish students to consider factors beyond just cost, such as quality of training, safety standards, regulatory compliance, and potential job opportunities post-graduation. Overseas Pilot Licence Conversion – Convert Philippines Licence into Turkish Licence: To convert a Philippines pilot license into a Turkish license, Turkish students must follow the procedures outlined by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of Turkey. This typically involves submitting required documentation, undergoing additional examinations if necessary, and meeting specific criteria set by the DGCA. The process may vary based on individual circumstances and regulatory changes, so it’s advisable for students to consult with both Philippine and Turkish aviation authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding license conversion.

To realize its ambitious plans for sending up to 100 passengers to the Moon and Mars inside a massive Starship spacecraft, SpaceX is racing through prototypes. During its fifth static fire today, the fourth Starship prototype, called SN4, erupted in a gigantic fireball around 2:50 pm Eastern time on Friday. Thanks to a live stream, courtesy of NASASpaceflight, you can watch the structure erupt into flames at SpaceX’s Boca Chica testing facility Losing SN4 is a setback for the Elon Musk-led space company, but not an insurmountable one. “SpaceX got a lot further with SN4 than previous vehicles, and SN5 seems about ready to go for testing,” senior space editor at Ars Technica Eric Berger wrote in a tweet. “They also have begun working on a second launch stand in Boca Chica.” “So this is a setback, and a dramatic one,” Berger added. “But it’s a process.” Read more on Futurism

President Donald Trump showcases a proposed paint job for Air Force One during an interview with ABC News and "Good Morning America." ABC News/Good Morning America video screenshot President Donald Trump unveiled his plan for the livery of the next Air Force One during a June 13 television interview, though the new paint scheme may require Congressional approval. During an interview with ABC News, Trump showed a piece of paper with the proposed redesigned paint scheme for the next Air Force One. Unlike the white, blues, and chrome livery of the current VC-25A, the VC-25B would be blue on its bottom, with a red strike and a white top half. “We had different choices here,” Trump told ABC host George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office interview. “These are all slightly different.” A close-up from the ABC News/”Good Morning America” interview shows multiple variations on the proposed paint-job. Screenshot via ABC News/”Good Morning America” video The interview came one day after the House Armed Services Committee, during its markup of the fiscal 2020 defense policy bill, voted to restrict the paint scheme, interiors, and livery of the VC-25B without Congressional approval. The provision in the measure calls on the livery to comply with strict criteria in a Boeing report, which has not been made public. Since being elected in November 2016, Trump has taken a keen interest in Air Force One. Just a month after the election, he met with Boeing executive Dennis Muilenberg to discuss the overall cost of the replacement program shortly after he Tweeted a demand to cancel the order over cost. Shortly after, he also met with then-Air Mobility Command boss Gen. Carlton Everhart, who said he had a “very interesting conversation” with the then-President elect about features on the aircraft. In February 2018, the White House announced it reached a deal with Boeing to buy the two 747-8Is for $3.9 billion—down from an unofficial White House estimate of $5 billion and a 2016 cost estimate of about $4 billion. Boeing reached cost savings by buying the aircraft back from the boneyard and changing requirements, such as not including aerial refueling capability. Last summer, Boeing received the $3.9 billion contract for the design, modification, testing, certification, and fielding of two 747-8Is to be the next Air Force One. Work is expected to be completed on the aircraft by December 2024.

Earth-Moon Navigation / System Study and Development of a Highly-Sensitive Spaceborne Receiver Prototype GPS has been used in space for more than 20 years and currently it is consistently used in LEO orbit satellites in order to provide position, velocity and time information. Extension of its use to higher altitude missions has been the subject of multiple studies, GEO and GTO orbits currently exploit GNSS signals and the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently demonstrated that tracking of GPS signals is possible up to 70,000 km from Earth’s surface. The possibility of extending GNSS for missions to the Moon has preliminarily been assessed by ESA via GSP (General Studies Programme). These preliminary studies conclude that navigation to the Moon using GNSS complemented by other instruments could be feasible, provided specific high-sensitivity techniques are implemented in receivers.
