Irish ejector seat invention saves 7664 lives | Season 1 – Episode 94 Wings Feb 08, 2022 The ejector seat was invented by James Martin (September 11, 1893 – January 5, 1981) who was born in Crossgar, Co Down. By 1934, Captain (later Sir) James Martin had joined up with pilot Captain Valentine Baker to pursue military contracts and together they founded the Martin Baker Aircraft Company, in Buckinghamshire, UK. From 1937 the Martin Baker Aircraft Company produced several prototype aircraft and during World War 2, used the design patents for aircraft structures held by Martin and began with the MB 1. Like many great inventions that save lives, the idea for the ejector seat began with a tragedy. Martin & Baker had divided their roles in the Martin Baker company, James Martin took on the engineering and as Valentine Baker was a flying instructor he took the role of company test pilot. On September 12, 1942 while testing their third design of aeroplane, the Martin-Baker M.B.3, when the engine seized and Captain Baker was forced to make an emergency landing and he was killed in the crash. Following Valentine Baker’s death in 1942, James Martin was so affected by the tragedy of his friend’s death that he concentrated all of his engineering abilities on pilot-safety and this became his primary focus. Later the Martin-Baker company reorganised to focus primarily on ejection seats. In 1944 the British Ministry of Aircraft Production approached the company and tasked them with investigating how the pilot of a high-speed aircraft could be assisted in bailing out of their aircraft in the event of an emergency? As the Martin-Baker company had been investigating ejector seats since 1934, ahead of other aviation manufacturers in Germany and Sweden they were well placed to advise the Ministry. Bernard (Bert) Lynch conducted his first mid-flight test ejection over Chalgrove Airfield in Oxfordshire on 24th July 1946. While flying in a specially modified Gloster Meteor 3 jet he ejected himself from the rear cockpit at a speed of 514.9 km/h (320 mph), 2,438 m (8,000 ft) in the air. ‘Punching out’ is the slang name for baling out of an aeroplane using an ejector seat. The next leap forward by the company came in 1961 when they achieved a zero-zero capability for their ejector seats, whereby a pilot can safely eject upwards from the aircraft cockpit at zero altitude and zero airspeed. Sir James Martin was a successful businessman who inspired loyalty in his staff. He was rarely absent from the Denham works and he lived nearby where he died 5 January 1981. Martin-Baker company remains at the forefront of ejector seat design and research to this day and retains two Gloster Meteor T.7 aircraft as flying testbeds. If you are ‘lucky’ enough to have ejected from the cockpit of an aircraft or helicopter using a Martin-Baker ejection seat, you are then invited to join an exclusive Ejectee club; the ‘Ejection Tie Club’ where the members are all unified by having their lives saved by a Martin-Baker ejection seats. Club members receive a tie, patch, certificate, tie pin or a brooch for the women and membership card. All Ejection Tie Club memorabilia depicts a red triangle warning sign, the recognised international danger symbol for an ejection seat. From 30th May 1949 to date the ejector seats of the Martin-Baker Aircraft Company are being used in 200 fixed-wing and rotary types of aircraft by 93 air forces worldwide and have saved the lives of 7,664 aircrew members and counting….

Fujitsu Provides New Technology to JAXA for Space Debris Mapping and Analysis – Parabolic Arc New Analysis System Will Play Key Role in JAXA’s Space Situational Awareness System TOKYO, Apr 05, 2022 (PR Fujitsu) — Fujitsu today announced the development and deployment of a new analysis system to calculate the orbital trajectories of space debris for use with the Space Situational Awareness System (“SSA System”) of the Japanese Space Agency. Aerospace Exploration (JAXA) for monitoring space debris. JAXA began operations of the new system at Tsukuba Space Center on April 1, 2022. JAXA will use the new technology to create effective space debris observation plans, drawing on radar observation data and of the optical telescope to calculate the trajectory of space debris and perform a comparative analysis with the trajectory of JAXA satellites. If the system detects space debris approaching satellites, it will help JAXA operators quickly respond to risks and avoid possible collisions with space debris by automatically calculating the possibility of an expected collision and course changes. required. In the future, Fujitsu aims to further improve the accuracy of its analysis system and develop new technologies for application in space to contribute to the safe and sustainable development of space. An urgent challenge for the future of sustainable development beyond Earth Space debris such as detritus from rocket launches, decommissioned satellites and fragments of other man-made objects orbiting the planet as a result of explosions or collisions pose an increasingly serious problem for the future of sustainable development beyond our world. Experts estimate that the number of debris currently floating in space is over 100 million, and that number continues to rise. Space debris can travel at speeds of over 7 km/s around the Earth and is therefore powerful enough to cause severe damage to the approximately 12,000 man-made satellites in space. This poses a serious risk to critical infrastructure, with satellites playing an indispensable role in weather forecasting, disaster monitoring and mapping applications. Fujitsu has supported JAXA in its efforts to solve this problem since the early 1990s by creating space debris observation technology that uses orbit determination technology (the predecessor of the current SSA system) that has also been used with the Hayabusa2 asteroid probe and other projects. In the latest important step in this effort, Fujitsu has developed a practical analysis system for high-precision orbit calculations to accurately track debris in orbit and predict its movements to avoid collisions with artificial satellites. About the new system JAXA’s SSA system consists of a radar, an optical telescope and an analysis system developed by Fujitsu. The analysis system serves as the heart of the SSA system and allows JAXA’s system operators to create plans on the effective observation of space debris, management of acquired observation data, and analysis of tracking calculations. orbit to support the detection of space debris approaching satellites and avoiding collisions. The characteristics of the analysis technology are as follows. 1. Timely identification of collision risks through optimal observation plans and improved observation data processing capability To further improve the SSA system, the new JAXA radar has been designed to also capture smaller objects and to observe approximately 10,000 objects per day (more than 10 times the number of conventional radars)(2). In addition, the processing capacity of the analysis system has been increased by more than 50 times to enable rapid processing of large amounts of observational data and support rapid risk assessment by immediately providing JAXA satellite operators with the necessary information about the possibility of a planned collision and course changes to avoid any possible collision with space debris. 2. Automate routine tasks and reduce operational burden on system operators In order to reduce the operational burden on system operators caused by the increase in the number of observation objects and processes, Fujitsu has developed a new function to automate routine work such as the creation of observation plans and the processing observational data, which was mainly done manually by the analysis operators. By reducing the operational load and improving the efficiency of the analysis system, operators can focus on confirming treatment results and responding to emergencies. 3. Interconnection with the Japanese government’s SSA system The new analysis system can be connected to JAXA’s SSA system as well as the SSA system operated and managed by the Japanese government to share sighting data. Thus, the new tool enables operators to respond to observation requests from the Japanese government and conduct effective observations. In the future, Fujitsu will continue to improve the accuracy of its analysis system and contribute to JAXA’s efforts to “make space visible”. Fujitsu further aims to develop new technologies for aerospace agencies, including JAXA, to support various satellite data applications as well as future space exploration and travel projects, and ultimately contribute to the safe and sustainable development of space.

The US Air Force announced a successful test of a hypersonic weapon traveling at five times the speed of sound off the coast of California. The test was carried out last Saturday by a B-52 bomber released an Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW), the Air Force wrote in a statement. The Air Force announced the test late Monday. US Brig. Gen. Heath Collins said, “This was a major accomplishment for the ARRW team, for the weapons enterprise, and our Air Force.” He added, “The team’s tenacity, enterprise, and commitment were key in overcoming the past year’s challenges to get us to the recent success. We are ready to build on what we’ve learned and continue moving hypersonics forward.” Why is the US developing hypersonic weapons? The US test comes after Russia has used hypersonic missiles against Ukraine during its war there. China has also tested hypersonic weapons, according to US officials though China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied this last October. Hypersonic weapons are difficult for air defense systems to track and intercept due to their speed and maneuverability. In its statement, the US Air Force noted that the new hypersonic weapon “will also expand precision-strike capabilities by enabling rapid response strikes against heavily defended land targets.”

Drones do reduce risk as human entry is not necessary – in fact, many pipes are too small for a person to enter but big enough for a drone. It is vital that a full risk assessment is completed prior to any work, and this must include a retrieval strategy for the drone should it become stuck. Other factors to consider before a drone can be deployed inside pipework include: Most pipework is not laid in long straight lines and so it is important to understand as much as possible before any drone flight, if there are any likely obstacles in the way of the drone that it could get caught on. This could include materials that have become dislodged from the pipe itself, fallen into the pipe from above, or travelled through the pipe. Physical dimensions and layouts of pipework The maximum distance a drone can fly with a range extender in use, is approximately 200m – in a straight line. This reduces to around 160m without a range extender and reduces further when the pipework is not straight. Often pipes have uplifts or bends and these reduce distance a drone can travel. Presence of liquid Drones do not like liquid and cannot fly very close to liquid. What’s more, if the pipe is very narrow, the down draft created by the drone can blow the liquid up the side of the pipe and cause the drone to lose power and malfunction. Flammable substances and dust It is important to understand what material has travelled through the pipe in the past that could cause issues for the drone’s flight. If any flammable substances have been in contact with the pipe in the past, the pipe must have been cleaned thoroughly and relevant testing carried out before any drone is flown in the space. The drone is not ATEX rated so this does rule out operating it in some environments. The drone has a battery and propellors that create static energy. However, a risk assessment and method statement with appropriate control measures in place, may allow the drone to operate in an ATEX rated area.

The Air Tattoo 2016 held from 8-10 July at RAF Fairford Air Base, but I visited the event in 10th of July only. The airshow featured Red Arrows, Patrouille Suisse, Orlik, Frecce Tricolori, Royal Jordanian Falcons, Wings of Storm and Breitling Wingwalkers aerobatic teams. I was impressed by Orlik aerobatic team, which I see it for the first time ever. However, the stars of the air show were the F-22 Raptor and F-35, the main reasons I choose to visit Air Tattoo airshow. Unfortunately, the “South West Trains” railways interrupt my plans to visit the airshow on time. The way from Basingstoke to Swindon (70km) cost me a 5 hours of travel. Just insane! Arriving at noon at the Fairford Air Base a missed the Royal Jordanian Falcons and Patrouille Suisse displays. I was disappointed to miss the display of Swiss Air Force aerobatic team after the crash in June. The F-22 just took off when I was still in the bus, entering the Fairford Air Base. However, the Raptor interrupted the display due to malfunction, thus give me the opportunity to watch it later, unfortunately just take off and landing. The other major star of the airshow was F-35. Not so impressive display, but the vertical landing and hovering was new to me.

DHC-7. Specifications. Photo. DHC-7 is a Canadian regional airliner developed in 70-ies of the last century. The principal difference of passenger aircraft from other similar models is no need for the presence of an extended runway - to disperse the aircraft only requires about 670 meters, while on board can be located up to 40 passengers. Initially, production of aircraft DHC-7 was due to the need to organize passenger traffic between remote population centers and major airports, with the first trials of the aircraft showed quite good results, with effective both in terms of passenger traffic, and in terms of performance. The first flight took place on DHC-7 27 1975 year in March, and another three years later, in February 1978 years, the model aircraft entered into mass production. Aircraft DHC-7 operated mainly Canadian and US airlines, but subsequently the aircraft attracted the attention and the Air Force, resulting in the aircraft and began to operate as an air transport vehicles. Aircraft DHC-7 equipped with four turboprop engines Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-50, 4480 total capacity in HP Because the aircraft are almost always used for flight distances not exceeding 700 kilometers, the aircraft cabin is equipped with simple enough, however, in turn, reduced the cost of passenger aircraft. For 13-summer release of aircraft DHC-7, there were three main production series: - DHC-7 Series 100; - DHC-7 Series 110; - DHC-7 Series 150. Aircraft DHC-7 Series 100 available in two basic models - DHC-7-102 intended directly for the passenger traffic and aircraft modification DHC-7-103 - were intended for the carriage of goods. Unlike Series 100, aircraft DHC-7 Series 110 were slightly changed to the new requirements of the Office of Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), however, a significant change in the new model did not undergo, except for the modified part of the cabin. Aircraft DHC-7 Series 110 as well as aircraft of the previous version is available in two basic models - airplanes DHC-7-110 intended for passenger transportation, and DHC-7-111 used for the carriage of goods. Passenger aircraft DHC-7 Series 150 undergone profound technical modernization, making the range of flight of the aircraft was increased to 2110 kilometers, and in addition, an improved interior equipment, allowed to place on the board to 50 passengers. - Air Greenland (Greenland); - Pelita Air Service (Indonesia); - Petroleum Air Services (Egypt); - Voyageur Airways (Canada); - Trans Capital Air (Canada); - The US Air Force.

This page holds several animations of the orbit and coverage of the CIMR mission. They are all courtesy Montserrat Pinol Sole from the European Space Agency (ESA). We recommend viewing them in full-screen. CIMR Arctic coverage Synchronization with EPS-SG "B" mission The two animations below show the temporal collocation of CIMR with the upcoming EUMETSAT Polar Satellite - Second Generation "B" satellite (the first of these should launch in 2023). EPS-SG "B" satellites will carry many instruments, including the MicroWave Imager (MWI) and the Scatterometer (SCA) that both will be very interesting to use in synergy with CIMR, for a wide range of retrievals. In the animations below, the swath plotted for EPS-SG is that of SCA. Note how the collocation happens in only few minutes in the polar regions (few hours at the Equator).

The three-man crew blasted off right on schedule from the once-super-secret Baikonur cosmodrome, prompting Americans to burst into applause and Russians to start pouring the cognac. "It is huge -- it is testament to our partnership and how deep it really is," said Sean O'Keefe, head of NASA, as he overlooked the launchpad deep within the unwelcoming Kazakh steppe. The launch came three days after China became the world's third space-faring nation, joining the ranks of the Soviet Union - now Russia - and the United States. But while the Chinese launch was seen as a vehicle of national pride, Russia -- which pioneered space travel more than four decades ago - portrayed Saturday's flight as a demonstration of international unity and cooperation. The Soyuz spacecraft is taking the next U.S.-Russian replacement crew to the $60 billion space station, and giving a European Space Agency astronaut a ride into space. "Our Russian partners stepped up at a time when we needed them the most. They are shouldering a particularly heavy burden and we are grateful for that," O'Keefe said. The launch is the second since the U.S. space shuttle Columbia disintegrated in February, causing NASA to put a hold on flights. Since the Columbia accident, NASA has depended on Russia to keep its astronaut corps flying. The Russian Soyuz, whose primary role had been to serve as an emergency evacuation craft for the station, is now the only ship capable of carrying crews to and from the 16-nation space outpost. "We are happy to have the opportunity to help our partners in the space station," said Sergei Gorbunov, spokesman for the Russian Space Agency, Rosaviakosmos. U.S. astronaut Michael Foale, making his sixth trip into space, is commander of the flight, which also includes Spaniard Pedro Duque and flight engineer Alexander Kaleri. The crew blasted off under clear blue skies, shooting across the barren Kazakh steppe at the start of their two-day trip to the space station. Docking is scheduled for Monday. Foale will become the only American to have served aboard both the Mir space station and the International Space Station. Foale and Kaleri are due to replace American Ed Lu and Russian Yuri Malenchenko, who have been in space since May. Malenchenko, who left the planet a signle man, will return to a wife, after getting married aboard the space station in a ceremony that caused a stir. Duque, who will carry out a series of experiments in space, will return with Lu and Malenchenko in another Soyuz capsule in ten days. "It was just so beautiful," said Foale's wife Rhonda, who clutched a Union Jack flag in recognition of her husband's British birthland. "It felt good and I'm glad he's having a good time up there." The new space station responsibilities have put a strain on the Russian space program's budget, but have also boosted the prestige of an agency that was derided a few years ago for becoming a provider of expensive junkets for rich space tourists. Jean Jacques Dordain, the director the European Space Agency, praised the Russians for providing a path to space for other astronauts. Russian launches are steeped in history and tradition. On Saturday, as the rocket roared into the sky trailing a tail of fire, the crowded grandstand applauded then grew immediately silent. Every 10 seconds, controllers issued reports, declaring that everything was proceeding normally. Almost 10 minutes after launch, the Russian space agency announced that the crew had reached orbit, causing the grandstand to burst into applause. Duque's mother, Andrea, sat quietly, clutching a cane, tears shining in her eyes. "There are a lot of traditions involved," said Norm Thagard, the first American to fly to space onboard the compact Russia Soyuz in 1998. Visiting Baikonur for the first time since his trip, Thagard said much looked the same. The Russians say that's natural. "When you've been doing it for four decades, if something works, you don't change it," said Vladimir Popov, who heads the Russian space unit responsible for all rescue and search missions.

Perseverance lands on Mars, cloud-ready to explore Amazon Web Services (AWS) is helping NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (NASA JPL) reach an inaugural and innovative milestone in deep space exploration. On Thursday, February 18, NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover landed on Mars, after its 7-month, 300-million-mile journey from Earth. This is the first planetary NASA mission, with mission-critical communication and transfer of telemetry data in the cloud. During Perseverance’s mission on Mars, the science and engineering data will be processed and hosted in AWS, enabling the Mars 2020 mission to benefit from the scalability, agility, and reliability of the cloud. Now on the surface and after completing initial checkouts, the Mars Rover team is receiving hundreds of images from Mars each day from a record number of cameras, resulting in thousands of images over Perseverance’s time on the planet. The cloud helps NASA JPL efficiently store, process, and distribute this high volume of data. By using AWS, NASA JPL is able to process data from Mars, on Earth, faster than ever before. The increased processing speed will help NASA JPL make faster decisions on the health and safety of the rover. This information is critical for scientists and engineers to plan the rover’s next day activities. The rover requires visibility to drive, so it is important for the team to be able to send the next batch of instructions back to the rover within a specific timeframe. The increased efficiency will allow Mars 2020 to accomplish its ambitious goal of collecting more samples and driving longer distances during the prime mission, compared to previous rovers. AWS also powers the Mars mission website. The website will be able to scale up to meet demand at any given time, with millions of visitors anticipated at peak times. “AWS is proud to support NASA JPL’s Perseverance mission,” said Teresa Carlson, vice president, worldwide public sector and industries at AWS. “From the outset, AWS cloud services have enabled NASA JPL in its mission to capture and share mission-critical images, and help to answer key questions about the potential for life on Mars.” Exploring with NASA JPL To help send data back to Earth, the Mars Rover is equipped with sensors, cameras, and microphones. The sensors will gather scientific data like atmospheric information, wind speeds, and weather. The microphones will collect the sounds of the planet. This data will be processed by JPL and made publicly available so viewers can explore Mars alongside NASA JPL. The public will also be able to track the Mars Rover location on a map and in a 3D experience that puts them in the middle of Mars and seeing the planet from the view of Perseverance. Viewers will also be able to see the raw images from the planet through several cameras whose images will be made available to the public. AWS first started working with the NASA JPL Mars 2020 Rover team more than five years ago in preparation for this mission. Before Perseverance left Earth, the public also participated in the “Name the Rover” essay contest and signed up to send their own names to Mars in the “Send Your Name to Mars” campaign. Both the contest and the campaign websites were powered by AWS. A middle school student from Virginia won the competition to name the Mars Rover, and almost 11 million names are stenciled on a chip that is flying onboard Perseverance. Already more than four million people have signed up to send their names aboard the next mission, taking off in 2026.

The Electric Aviation Group Company is developing an aircraft model capable of carrying 70 passengers and a range of nearly 1,500 km. Hera will go into operation in 2028. Photo: Sun. The world’s largest hybrid electric petrol aircraft, Hera, has a quiet operation mode to reduce noise pollution and the ability to charge batteries in the air. This is a passenger aircraft powered in part by an eco-friendly electric motor that combines traditional gasoline fuel. Hera has a range of 1,480 km but could increase to 2,222 km after 2030 as the power density of the battery pack improves. The Hera aircraft is a design by Electric Aviation Group (EAG), an engineering company headquartered in Bristol, UK and is scheduled to open in 2028. According to the EAG, they have designed and applied for 25 patents. for aircraft models are in the development stage. When completed in 2028, Hera can contribute to solving the challenges by reducing the large amount of greenhouse gases commonly encountered in conventional jets. Because Hera has a hybrid electric design, CO2 emissions per capita per kilometer will be reduced by 70%. The aircraft model also reduces global warming by 90% and noise pollution by 65%. Hera aircraft will be equipped with lithium-ion batteries weighing about 3.5 tons with a battery density of 250Wh / kg when in operation. Hera is suitable for transporting passengers between airports in the region. The overhead battery charging function minimizes turnaround times, allowing Hera to carry passengers during the day and cargo at night.

Observations from 'Curiosity' when Mar's moon Phobos crosses in front of the sun, like in September, help us to understand exactly where the rover is on the red planet. Researchers at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain) have developed a method for achieving precisely this. The exact location of Curiosity on the surface of Mars is determined using data transmitted from its antennas as well as the space probes that orbit the red planet. It is very unlikely that these systems would fail but in such an eventuality there would be an alternative for determining the location of the rover: 'ask it' what eclipses it sees. "Observing these events offers an independent method for determining the coordinates of Curiosity," explains Gonzalo Barderas, researcher at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and coauthor of the study. For this method to be used the robot must have a camera or sensor capable of sending data about an eclipse. "It could prove especially useful when there is no direct communication with Earth that allows for estimation of its position using radiometric dating or images provided by orbiters," outlines the researcher. The initial objective of the UCM group was to create a mathematical tool for predicting Phobos eclipses from the surface of Mars. But their method also proved useful in locating the precise location of any spacecraft that are also capable of observing eclipses from there. The details have been published in the 'Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society' journal. The model predicted partial eclipses that took place on the 13 and 17 September. The MastCam camera that Curiosity carries in its mast captured them without any problems. The Spanish REMS instrument, namely the vehicle's environmental station, also detected a reduction in ultraviolet solar radiation during the eclipses (5% in the first case). The initial simulations and the real end images coincided with a precision of one second. In order to make their calculations, the scientists considered the initial predicted landing area for Curiosity: an ellipse of 7 x 20 km2. In addition, with just two minutes of observations and using the start and end times of Phobos' contact with the Sun, error can be reduced in the rover coordinates from an order of magnitude of kilometres to another of metres. According to the model, the next movements of the Martian moon will take place between the 13 and 20 August 2013 and between the 3 and 8 August 2014. Curiosity will have the chance to observe eclipses again and the Spanish scientists will be able to confirm the validity of their tool. "In any case, this method can be applied to other space probes operating on the surface of Mars that have the ability to make optical observations or that have instruments that measure solar radiation," outlines Luis Vázquez, one of the authors. In fact, under the scientific management of Vázquez, this study forms part of a Spanish project associated to the joint Russian, Spanish and Finnish MetNet mission to distribute small meteorological stations across Mars.

An engine explodes, peppering the wings and fuselage of a wide-body airliner with turbine fragments propelled out of its core at Mach 2.6. Some systems are eviscerated, some disabled. Of the aircraft’s 22 different systems, 21 are damaged, and 650 wires and network cables are severed. Less than 50 per cent of its electrics and hydraulics are operational but the aircraft stays in the sky and remains controllable. On the flight deck, its crew use the first shocking seconds to take stock of the situation, first determining that the aircraft will still fly. This is resilience, aviation-style.

Another Success for ISRO as Lander 'Vikram' Completes First De-orbiting Manoeuvre The lander 'Vikram' on Tuesday inched closer to the moon after a manoeuvre that lasted four seconds to lower its orbit further. News18 Creative by Mir Suhail. Chennai: India's first moon lander, Vikram, on Tuesday got nearer to the moon with the Indian space agency successfully completing the first of the two de-orbital operations. According to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the de-orbital operation began at 8.50 am, as planned. Using the onboard propulsion system for 4 seconds the operation was carried out successfully. The orbit of Vikram Lander is 104 km x 128 km. The Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter continues to orbit the Moon in the existing orbit and both the Orbiter and Lander are healthy. The next de-orbiting operation is scheduled on Wednesday between 3.30 am and 4.30 am. On Monday afternoon, Vikram got separated from its mother spacecraft Chandrayaan-2. Vikram is scheduled to land on the south polar region of the moon on September 7 between 1.30 a.m. to 2.30 a.m. After the moon touchdown by Vikram, the rover -- Pragyan -- will roll down from the former to carry out the research for which it was designed. Meanwhile, the Orbiter continues to fly around the moon. On July 22, the Rs 978-crore Chandrayaan-2 was launched into space by India's heavy lift rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV Mk III) in a textbook-style launch.

Miles Space Reveals Latest Thruster Design at 2016 Smallsat Conference Miles Space, in partnership with Fluid and Reason, LLC, introduced their latest quad-H ion thruster design for cube sat propulsion. This design efficiently provides an unprecedented amount of thrust and delta-V for cubesats as small as 1U. It enables a number of critical on orbit services such as refueling, orbital repositioning, orbital debris clean up, on demand imaging. The thruster technology reduces operational costs for clients in LEO, GEO and MEO orbits. With the increased commercialization of space, the global market has been projected to grow to $5.32 billion annually by 2021. By 2018, 70% of satellites under 50KG in mass will be launched for commercial interests. These numbers, although substantial, are actually constrained by a lack of launch capacity worldwide. By employing these services, existing in-space assets can have their missions extended at a fraction of the cost of launching new satellites. Using current technology, company’s providing these services could reduce costs by 40% per operation. The 30th Annual AIAA/USU Conference On Small Satellites has been a place where innovators, engineers, problem solvers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and dreamers alike have come together to challenge what we know and push the bounds of what can be done. These pioneers have created a space industry where small satellites make big contributions. Each year, SmallSat attendees share their successes and lessons learned, demonstrate capabilities, network, and mentor the next generation. These crucial interactions have ignited imaginations, paving the way for small satellites to perform missions that few thought possible. The 30th Annual Small Satellite Conference will celebrate the industry’s tremendous achievements, while continuing to inspire ingenuity for future military, civilian, and commercial missions.

Not because the flight is going to Africa we can’t get better service on board To ease the stress of booking flights, some of our airline partners flying from Lihue to Reno are responding to the global pandemic. The following airlines may have a flexible cancellation policy to help accommodate travelers: United Airlines, American Airlines, and Alaska Airlines. The distance between Lihue and Reno is about 2613.1 mi. 7h 34m is a normal flight duration for this route.

No, floppy disks aren’t dead yet. They are used to update aircrafts Boeing 747 - 400s still receive critical security updates, including navigational databases using 3.5-inch floppy disks. When it comes to data storage and data transfer, technology has changed by manifolds over the years. From floppy disks to HDDs, the world has gone from storing a couple of MBs worth of data to storing hundreds of TBs worth of data. Cloud storage has made this easier by providing unlimited storage capacity while reducing the need to have more physical storage space. With cloud storage becoming the norm, one might think that floppy disks (yes, we're talking about the same old square-shaped storage devices that could store up to 2MB of data) might be dead. But they aren't. In fact, floppy disks are still being used by Boeing to update its 747 aircraft models. According to a report by The Register, Boeing 747 - 400s still receive critical security updates, including navigational databases using 3.5-inch floppy disks. Security researchers at Pen Test recent got full access to a Boeing 747 aircraft after the UK-based Big Airlines decided to retire the fleet owing to a plummet in travel due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The team was able to get access to the avionic bay of the Boeing 747 aircraft, which is tucked beneath the floor of the lower passenger deck. Upon examination, security researchers discovered a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive in the cockpit. This drive, as mentioned before is used to load navigational databases on the aircraft and it is updated every 28 days by an engineer. Interestingly, Boeing 747 is not the only aircraft that uses floppy disks for delivering critical updates to its system. The Verge quoting a 2014 report from Aviation Today pointed out that Boeing 737 uses a similar technique for delivering updates to the aircraft's system. Thankfully Boeing has updated its aircraft models. Boeing's newer aircraft models, which includes Boeing 777x and 787 use fibre networks for the updating the plane's systems.

By using our computational fluid dynamic models, a new type of single engine capable of operating over a wide range of Mach numbers from subsonic to hypersonic regimes is proposed for airplanes, whereas traditional piston engines, turbojet engines, and scram engines work only under a narrower range of operating conditions. The new engine has no compressors or turbines such as those used in conventional turbojet engines. An important point is its system of super multijets that collide to compress gas for the transonic regime. Computational fluid dynamics is applied to clarify the potential of this engine. The peak pressure at the combustion center is over 2.5 MPa, while that just before ignition is over 1.0 MPa. The maximum power of this engine will be sufficient for actual use. Under the conditions of higher Mach numbers, the main intake passage located in front of the super multijet nozzles, takes in air more. That results in a ram or scramjet engine for supersonic and hypersonic conditions. ASJC Scopus subject areas

NASA's oldest space shuttle closes a chapter with today's landing, having spent a total of 365 days in space. - Space Shuttle Discovery landed after a 13-day mission to the space station. - This was Discovery's final mission and now the spacecraft will be retired as a museum piece. - During its 27-year career, the aging space shuttle logged almost 149 million miles. The oldest and most traveled space shuttle, Discovery, glided back to Earth on Wednesday after its final space flight before ending its days as a museum piece to delight the crowds. NASA's oldest shuttle touched down on a mostly clear day at noon at its home base in Cape Canaveral, Fla. "To the ship that has led the way time and time again, we say, 'Farewell Discovery,'" radioed the Mission Control commentator. The aging space shuttle has flown more than any other in the fleet during its 27-year career, and NASA heaped praise on its swan song, toting a crew of six American astronauts on a 13-day mission to the orbiting research lab.

I didn’t put every altitude or speed in but it will give an idea of how efficient Rolls Royce is at turning fuel into noise. The flight planning tool is fun but in heavier aircraft we tend to climb two or three times during a long flight, this software seems to pick the first altitude the airplane will climb to and that’s it. For anyone who want’s to compare the Tip Tank version to the straight wing or SP we have (round numbers here) 26,000 lbs. of fuel at the start of the takeoff roll while the other two have a bit more than 22,000. The original burns about 7% less than the TT while the SP is another 7% less. John in Saudi

From pv magazine Global NASA has revealed the results of an experiment it conducted to assess the performance and durability of perovskite solar cells on the International Space Station. The agency said that it tested a perovskite absorber over a 10-month period in order to assess its resistance to vacuum, extreme temperatures, radiation, and light stressors simultaneously. “There is no ground analog, no machine that will do all of those crazy things to it at the same time quite like the International Space Station,” said researcher Lyndsey McMillon-Brown. The scientists attached the film to the outer side of the space station and exposed it to space conditions from March 2020 to January 2021. It then returned to NASA’s laboratories on Earth and its status was compared to that of a reference device on the ground. The research group said the space-traveling perovskite cell’s sunlight-absorbing qualities were surprisingly restored when hit by solar light on Earth, while the reference showed stronger degradation when exposed to the same conditions. “The perovskite film was still dark black after spending 10 months on the International Space Station, proving her team’s innovative solar cell material is suitable for possible use on future space missions,” said McMillon-Brown. “We don’t know exactly what about the space environment gave our film this superpower.” Looking forward, the NASA team said that it will try to find out which specific parts of the space environment transformed the perovskite. “Not only do they survive, but in some ways, they thrived. I love thinking of the applications of our research and that we’re going to be able to meet the power needs of missions that are not feasible with current solar technologies,” said McMillon-Brown. The results confirmed earlier research showing that the lack of moisture and oxygen outside of Earth’s atmosphere is actually beneficial to perovskite cells, and that the cells could be more suitable for operation in space without any major changes. The group said that there is huge potential for improvements in terms of stability and lifetime, and that proving the cell for long-term operation in space will be the next research step.

For the better part of 18 months, a Central Texas-based rocket startup known as Firefly Aerospace has been building and testing components of a small orbital launch vehicle, which is currently set to make its debut later this year if things go according to plan. However, the company has recently ramped up operations in all aspects and has unveiled newer technologies and facilities with which to expand their horizons. Firefly Aerospace officially came to be in March of 2017, when assets belonging to the failed Firefly Space Systems startup were bought by EOS Launcher, which was owned by a strategic management team known as Noosphere Ventures. Max Polyakov, the owner of Noosphere, agreed to fully fund Firefly Aerospace through the first two launches. He then brought in former Firefly Space Systems employees to help run the new company, including CEO Tom Markusic – former Vice President of Propulsion at Virgin Galactic, Principal Propulsion Engineer at SpaceX, and Senior Systems Engineer at Blue Origin. With this new lease of life, Firefly began rapidly developing the Alpha, a dedicated small-satellite rocket that is theoretically capable of delivering a 1,000 kilogram (2,204 pounds) payload to a low-inclination 200 kilometer orbit and around 630 kilograms (1,388 pounds) to a Sun synchronous orbit of 500 kilometers. The vehicle currently consists of two stages fueled by RP-1 and liquid oxygen and gets its propulsion via 4 “Reaver” first stage engines and a single “Lightning” engine on the second stage. These motors utilize a simple but innovative method of providing fuel flow, which is known throughout the aerospace industry as the “tap-off” cycle. In this cycle, hot gases from the combustion chamber are routed through the turbopump turbines to power the system and are then exhausted. Firefly states that this cycle decreases engine complexity and cost, and increases the system’s overall reliability. The Reaver and Lightning engines will be the first RP-1/LOX-fueled engines to employ this technique during flight. The Alpha’s airframe and cryogenic propellant tanks are manufactured using advanced carbon fiber composites, which, according to Firefly, is ideal for smaller launch systems due to the material’s high strength and low density. This technology has since been proven on multiple launches from New Zealand of Rocket Lab and their small-sat launch vehicle in the Electron. While Firefly has not yet flown with this hardware, they have successfully demonstrated its capabilities during crucial qualification testing at their rocket development facility in Briggs, Texas. Construction and testing began in earnest near the end of 2017, starting with low-thrust static fires of the Lightning engine on a horizontal test stand. Firefly technicians at the site also started work on a large-scale vertical test stand around the same timeframe, as confirmed by NASASpaceflight’s Gary Blair (L2 Firefly Section). Throughout 2018, testing operations steadily intensified as the company verified that most of the components of the Alpha were suitable to fly, including the Reaver engines, composite propellant tanks, and avionics systems that would control the vehicle. The aforementioned vertical test stand was completed halfway through the year, which allowed for fully-integrated stage fueling tests and firings – milestones that Firefly looked to accomplish before the year was out. In December of 2018, a flight-ready Alpha second stage roared to life on Firefly’s test stand for a short static fire, signaling that the startup was beginning to take major steps towards a maiden launch. The company stated on Twitter afterward that they would continue qualification testing deep into 2019, and that flight acceptance testing on Alpha hardware would begin in May. These efforts eventually culminated in a 300-second full-duration hotfire test of the Alpha second stage on April 25th. Video from Thursday's 300 second Alpha Second Stage Qualification Testing! pic.twitter.com/2ogmwLDx96 — Firefly Aerospace (@Firefly_Space) April 27, 2019 In a statement on social media, Firefly said all systems performed as expected during the test, and that this test further supported their goal of conducting the first test flight of the launcher as soon as December – provided that further testing went on unabated. The company will initially make use of Space Launch Complex 2 West at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California for Alpha launches to Sun synchronous orbits. Firefly officially obtained permission to use the launch facility on May 1, 2018 – via a statement of support from the U.S. Air Force. SLC-2W was last used by United Launch Alliance in September 2018, when the final launch of the Delta II occurred. Firefly also acquired a lease to use Launch Complex 20 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida in February 2019 and intends to build a mass production facility in nearby Exploration Park to support a more rapid launch cadence in the near future. In addition to new facilities, the company has made references to new vehicles that could enter the fold. One such vehicle is the Beta, an upgraded tri-core launcher derived from the Alpha. According to the official payload user’s guide, the Beta is capable of lofting 4,000 kilograms (8,818 pounds) to a 200-kilometer orbit, and would also be able to launch 400 kilograms (818 pounds) to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. With Alpha set to launch on its maiden flight in 2020, the Beta is currently slated to fly no earlier than the 2021-2022 timeframe. Firefly has also unveiled plans for a multi-purpose upper stage known as the Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV). This stage would be powered by Xenon Hall thrusters and would function as a satellite bus designed to support payloads for up to 5 years on orbit. The OTV would also enable launches to geostationary altitudes, as well as long-duration missions to the Moon. Firefly will most likely utilize the OTV to deliver scientific payloads to the lunar surface as part of NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) program, in which the company was selected to participate alongside eight other commercial providers. Firefly is pleased to announce the release of the Payload User’s Guide for our Orbital Transfer Vehicle (OTV). Combined with our Alpha launch vehicle, OTV enables unique and high-value missions, from LEO to LLO. https://t.co/ZTSuIKU7gv pic.twitter.com/LQAMZxoj3j — Firefly Aerospace (@Firefly_Space) May 30, 2019 Initial concepts envisioned a partnership with Intuitive Machines and their Nova-C lander for a Beta launch in the early 2020s, though plans appear to have changed as Intuitive looks to fly on a SpaceX Falcon 9 no earlier than the summer of 2021. The company is still eligible for further NASA contracts thanks to the CLPS program and also has agreements with Airbus and SSTL for multiple launches aboard Alpha rockets starting in 2020.

Introduction to the Course Humankind has always been fascinated by space since the dawn of civilization. We utilized telescopes for space exploration even when we didn’t have the technology to reach beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Then came a time when humans broke through Earth’s limits and ventured into space to explore it. This successful space exploration attempt resulted in a boom in space exploration ventures. After that, many space exploration organizations, such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), were created. Thanks to these space exploration organizations, we now have more knowledge than we ever had about space. What are NASA APIs? NASA APIs are simple, RESTful APIs that we can use to access the data in the public archives of NASA. We can use these APIs to get images captured by different space rovers, learn about other space bodies, find and track asteroids, and much more. Developers can use this data to create value-added applications consuming this data programmatically. This is how we’ll progress in this course: - We’ll start by creating an account on the NASA APIs website to get our API key. We’ll use this key with each request for authentication purposes. - After getting our key, we’ll explore the APIs that give us information about Earth and Mars. - Then, we’ll learn about the APIs that provide access to images and videos from NASA’s public archive. - In the end, we’ll look at a Django application in which some of these endpoints have been integrated to demonstrate how we can use these APIs in an actual application. To get the most out of this course, you should be familiar with: - The concept of APIs. - The use of HTTP requests. - The basics of the Python language.

As World War II engulfed Europe and Asia in 1941, the United States readied its defenses by establishing new military bases in the interior of the country. Rapid City Air Force Base became home to the 88th Bombardment Group and the 17th Bombardment Training Wing in October of 1942. At the base, crews were trained to fly B-17 Flying Fortress airplanes. Between 1942 and 1945, approximately 8,500 military pilots, radio operators, gunners and navigators rotated through the new facility. As the tide of the war turned in 1944, the mission of Rapid City Air Force Base changed to train pilots to fly the new B-29 bomber on long range runs over Japan. After World War II ended in August 1945, the base's mission shifted to peacetime training. It was temporarily deactivated until March 1947 when it became home to the 28th Bombardment Wing flying the B-29 Superfortress. On June 13, 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower came to Rapid City to rename and dedicate the base as Ellsworth Air Force Base. The renaming honored Brig. Gen. Richard Ellsworth, who commanded the 28th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. Ellsworth had died along with 23 crew members earlier that year in a plane crash near Newfoundland, Canada. As the world moved into the Cold War, so, too, did Ellsworth AFB. The base became home to B-52 Stratofortress planes, to a Strategic Air Command mission and to intercontinental ballistic missiles under the 44th Missile Wing. In 1986, Ellsworth AFB converted to the B-1B Lancer Bomber, which it continues to operate under the 28th Bomb Wing. In addition, Ellsworth AFB is now home to the MQ-9 drone ground control station and the U.S. Air Force Financial Services Center.

Aloft Technologies has announced a new set of developer tools designed to allow third parties to seamlessly interface with the Aloft platform for everything from custom map layers to LAANC integrations. “If you are flying a bunch of drones doing programmatic missions you don’t want people taping on a screen to get airspace authorisation, you want it automated,” said Jon Hegranes, CEO & Founder of Aloft. “You want the whole service brought into existing applications and mission control centres.” Aloft’s new developer platform enables drone hardware OEMs, drone software providers, and corporations with in-house drone workflows to bring Aloft’s LAANC, airspace, and fleet management capabilities natively into their own software, said the company in a press release. The new services includes new fleet management and airspace APIs, along with map tile services that enable third-party developers to connect and interact with Aloft’s secure data services with the ability for developers to visualize airspace and other map data layers. “With these new tools, developers will have access to industry-leading capabilities that align with the growing demand for advanced drone technology solutions,” said the press statement. “Of special note is the capability of LAANC (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) access for FAA-approved developer partners, marking a substantial leap forward in streamlined airspace authorization and showcasing continued progress by the FAA to evolve the LAANC system to increase airspace safety and compliance. This will enable the expanded reach of the LAANC ecosystem, create new markets, and create an easier way for operators of every stripe to comply. “Today, we are not just announcing new tools; we’re unveiling the future of programmatic aviation,” said Jon Hegranes. “The aviation landscape is evolving rapidly, and unmanned aircraft systems are a fundamental part of that change. By providing developers with the tools to integrate seamlessly with the Aloft platform, we are enhancing the safety, compliance, and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS).” For more information

Drone owning Americans are rushing to register their names with the Federal Aviation Administration’s official website, causing heavy traffic on the website, which later shut down after the registration of 50, 000 names. FAA Officials announced that they are expecting the numbers to rise to half a million applicants after holidays, where many give drones as gifts. Concerns that the holiday gift could be used for terrorist attacks and security violations are growing; Pentagon officials have expressed their rising worry after a drone infiltrated a military base inside the United States. They have put forth the possibility of a terrorist directing their drone toward a military base or any other city. The Washington Post reported that over the past years armed forces have developed drone war which now it is seeking means to defend itself against. Experts also told the Washington Post that it was only recently that anyone had heard about confronting a drone threat, because of developing technology, lowered prices, and people’s passion that this alarm has been set off, and the drone confrontation is likely to only increase in the future. FAA- Administrator Michael Huerta announced that the board has received growing reports about drones flying near airports and restricted zones, and that the FAA took the decision to register every drone user following known safety measures. The administration’s board also announced that all information on all drone users will be made available to everyone.

At the Johnson Space Center in the United States, a significant milestone was reached as ten Americans completed two years of intense training, officially earning the title of astronauts. This achievement opens the door for their participation in planned NASA missions, spanning from the International Space Station to the Moon, with aspirations of eventual missions to Mars. Alongside them, two Emiratis who underwent the same rigorous training also graduated during the ceremony held at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. Dubbed "The Flies," these individuals were meticulously chosen from a pool of over 12,000 applicants in 2021. Their training regimen encompassed a wide array of simulations, including spacewalking, robotics, and understanding space station systems, among other crucial skills. Speaking at the ceremony, NASA associate administrator Jim Free emphasized the exceptional nature of these individuals, acknowledging their willingness to take on the inherent risks associated with space exploration. The diverse composition of "The Flies" includes fighter pilots, scientists, engineers, and a medical doctor, representing a blend of both military and civilian backgrounds. Dr. Christina Birch, a member of the cohort with a doctorate in biological engineering, reminisced about the camaraderie fostered among the group during their rigorous training. She shared a poignant moment from their survival training in the Alabama backcountry, where amidst dwindling supplies, they collectively shared one final bag of peanut M&Ms, highlighting the bond forged through shared experiences. Expressing a mix of responsibility and excitement for the future, Dr. Birch articulated the group's readiness for the challenges that lie ahead. With NASA already accepting applications for its next class of astronauts, aspiring candidates must meet specific criteria, including US citizenship and advanced degrees in science or technical fields. The job listing also emphasizes the rigorous nature of the role, with a salary of $152,258 and the caveat that remote work is not an option. As these newly minted astronauts embark on their journey into space, they symbolize the spirit of exploration and the relentless pursuit of knowledge that defines NASA's mission. Their dedication and perseverance serve as a testament to humanity's innate curiosity about the cosmos and the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our planet's confines. #SpaceExploration #NASA #TheFlies #Astronauts #SpaceMissions #SpaceTraining #MoonMission #MarsMission #SpaceScience #FutureOfSpaceExploration #breakingnews #worldnews #headlines #topstories #globalUpdate #dxbnewsnetwork #dxbnews #dxbdnn #dxbnewsnetworkdnn Disagreement Among Meteorological Experts on Cloud Seeding's Role in Dubai Rain Sparks Community Debate...Read More.

They arrive in a collectible box that has special features. Training Mode Tips Worried about crashing the drone while learning to fly? Propel Star Wars drones have a special feature called T-mode, which is a training mode that makes it easy for new fliers to take off, fly and land without stress, as long as you are in a large open space. In this mode, an invisible ceiling and a floor are created around the drone, which prevents it from accelerating to fast, flying away or crashing. It also allows fliers to practice turning left and right. In addition, there is a free Propel Flight Training app which is a way to gamify learning how to fly a drone. The app uses bluetooth technology to connect the drone controller to an iOS or Android smartphone. In the flight simulator within the app, which is a simulated Star Wars environment based upon the physical drone that was purchased, players complete missions within the app that will aid them in flying their drone in real life. What is the Flight Time? The battery run time is reported to be 6-8 minutes depending upon environment and flight aggressiveness. Average charging time is approximately 30 minutes to reach 90% charge and an additional 10 minutes to charge completely. It is recommended to fly with minimally a 90% charge. For frequent fliers who would like back-up batteries, additional batteries can be purchased on the Propel website. With these drones, Propel offers unlimited replacement parts for one year.

Use this Persistent URL to link to this item: http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechAUTHORS:20090805-111032085 Since the attitude instability experience by Explorer 1, many papers have been written on the effects if internal dissipation on the attitude stability of spinning satellites. In the engineering literature, stability analysis is restricted to the variational or linearized perturbational equations, despite the fact that spinning satellites are almost always critical cases in the Liapunov-Poincaré stability theory. This is certainly true in the case of dual spin satellites, which have the further complication that the linearized perturbational equations have periodic coefficients. The purpose of this note is to treat some problems of attitude stability of spinning satellites in a rigorous manner and to show that, with certain restrictions, the linearized stability analysis correctly predicts the attitude stability of spinning satellites. |Item Type:||Report or Paper (Technical Report)| |Usage Policy:||No commercial reproduction, distribution, display or performance rights in this work are provided.| |Deposited By:||George Porter| |Deposited On:||11 Aug 2009 22:07| |Last Modified:||26 Dec 2012 11:08| Repository Staff Only: item control page

Waay 31's will robinson-smith introduces us to a man who owes his skilled career in aerospace, to his grandfather. The first thing he ever saw fly was a hot air balloon in austria when he was a little kid. That's what sparked his interest into flight. So he worked on airplanes and then eventually rockets. After arriving from hungary via ellis island, bret rieder's grandfather eventually made his way to california to work for rocketdyne. Hey hired him because he was a well-known machinist. So 1958 he went there, worked on the f-1. Frank rieder spent years working on the f-1. He left a lasting legacy on rocketdyne that was there when bret joined the company decades later. And he went on to tell me great stories about what a great machinist he was and how respected he was....just to walk in and hear that about him made me very proud. For his contribution to the apollo program, frank rieder received a metal plaque of appreciation. At the time, in the late 50s and early 60s, i think his profession, a machinist, it was viewed upon a lot differently than it is today. It was absolutely the top skill. Inspired by his grandfather, bret joined rocketdyne in the 80s as a tool maker, moving to united launch alliance by the mid 90s. When i joined, it was space shuttle days, so we had manned spaceflight and i enjoyed that. It's so fulfilling to send people to space. You're proud of every launch and you feel every tragedy. And while he continues to work with and teach the younger employees at u- l-a, bret says he's still inspired by his grandfather. He was able to communicate with anyone and was very instrumental in the development of the f-1 rocket that went on the saturn that ultimately put apollo on the moon. I'm very proud of the man he was and the work he did. And i'll never forget him. Reporting in decatur, will robinson-smith, waay 31 news. Frank rider died in 2006. He was 108 years old.

A U.S. fighter jet’s stealth abilities appear to be working too well, with authorities forced to ask the public for help finding an F-35 that went missing somewhere over South Carolina when the pilot ejected because of a “mishap.” Joint Base Charleston, an air base in North Charleston, said it was working with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to “locate an F-35 that was involved in a mishap” Sunday afternoon. The pilot was able to safely eject from the aircraft, an F-35B Lightning II jet, and was taken to a local medical center in stable condition, it said in a Facebook post around 5:35 p.m. ET. The jet was left in autopilot mode when the pilot ejected from the aircraft, so there’s a possibility it could still be airborne, Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston, told NBC News over the phone. However, he said, searchers were focusing their attention north of the air base around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion based on the jet’s last-known position and coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration. Asked whether that meant that officials believed the jet could have crashed, Huggins said he was unable to elaborate, but that more information would be forthcoming. The FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The circumstances that prompted the pilot to eject from the aircraft were not immediately clear. The incident attracted some criticism, with Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., asking in a social media post: “How in the hell do you lose an F-35?” “How is there not a tracking device and we’re asking the public to what, find a jet and turn it in?” she wrote. The jet’s transponder, which usually helps locate the aircraft, was not working “for some reason that we haven’t yet determined,” The Washington Post reported, citing Huggins. Huggins said he was unable to confirm that detail as of early Monday. Aerospace giant Lockheed Martin describes the F-35 series on its website as the “most advanced fighter jet in the world,” as well as the “most lethal, stealthy and survivable aircraft.”

In addition, your plane will benefit from various aviation accessories that will enhance your aircraft safety and reliability ratings as well as the experience of flying overall. If you need to find a seller of aircraft parts look no further than eBay. What are some aircraft parts you should have available? Although there are many kinds of aviation parts you can acquire, its helpful to know where to start and what basics may be beneficial. Having this aviation knowledge will give you a broad base from which to work and ensure that your plane has the most integral parts available when you need to install them. On eBay youre likely to find your favorite seller of aircraft parts who has everything you need. Consider the following: - Firstly, you should acquire a few sets of aerospace hardware. This is a general term to denote several basic replacement parts for various aircraft. In general, you should try to pick up several each of screws, clamps, pins, washers, and bushings. Aircraft parts in each of these products categories are useful in some way to the workings of your plane. - Next, you should consider getting some back-ups of any clocks, gauges, dials, and other such navigational aircraft parts for your airplane. There may be situations where you need to replace one or more. Timely, accurate readings from your aerospace instruments are essential to your safety and well-being while in the air. - Because landing and tail lights are an important safety feature for both you and anyone in proximity, you should keep a few spare lights on hand in case you find one that needs replacing. You can purchase the light fixtures, bulbs, or both. What aviation accessories are especially beneficial? Having the extra parts necessary to keep your aircraft in top shape is important. However, pairing your plane with the proper accessories can be just as vital. While some aircraft accessories serve to enhance the journey, many of them offer tangible benefits in core areas such as safety and security. Having some of the following accessories on hand will make you better prepared while in the air: - One of the simple yet vital aviation accessories you can buy is a headset. Headsets allow you to communicate with a passenger if you have one aboard. If you have antennae and radio capabilities installed, youll use your headset for outbound communication as well. You can even purchase protective bags for your aviation headset that come pre-loaded with extra parts for your convenience. - A GPS from a trusted brand such as Garmin is a very valuable navigation tool in the skies. Thanks to its portability and versatility, a GPS can replace bulkier maps that can be hard to use and read in the small cabin of an aircraft.

As usual, there will be a significant deployment and redeployment of personnel and equipment taking place before, during and after the Exercise through Rockhampton Airport. This will be highlighted by multiple visits by the giant Antonov AN-124 cargo jet with as many as three inbound flights already being rumoured to be touching down in the first few days of September. There will also be several heavy jet passenger charter flights with information suggesting that these will be operated by Air New Zealand with Boeing B777-200 and Boeing B787-9 Dreamliner widebody twin-engine jets. The highly anticipated first ever visit by the Air New Zealand Dreamliner aircraft to Rockhampton Airport will certainly be a highlight. As we've reported previously, recently released AirServices Australia and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) documents indicate that Exercise Wallaby 2016 will see the participation of Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Boeing F-15SG Strike Eagle fighter jets. During the Exercise, it is expected that participating aircraft - including the F-15SGs, as well as Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft and military helicopters including Boeing CH-47SD Chinooks, Boeing AH-64D Apache and Aerospatiale / Eurocopter AS332M Super Puma helicopters - will operate from both Rockhampton Airport and from within the Exercise area.

Outer Space Themed Bedrooms Does your little one ever dream of the stars? If rocket ships and far-flung galaxies are what gets him going, an outer space theme room might be just what your little astronaut needs. Decorating a space room requires a much different approach than most other types of kids bedroom decor. Unlike other themes, a good outer-space room needs to make the occupants really feel as if they're on a journey through the stars. The most dramatic way to do that involves making good use of the walls; therefore, the walls themselves become the most important decorating aspect of an outer space room. Either they need to be painted dark and then filled with stars, planets, galaxies and more... or they need to represent starship portholes looking out into the majestic realm of space. With just a few room accessories and a little imagination, you can create the illusion that your son is the captain of a starship that's shooting across the universe... a fun role to play, and all from the safety and security of his own bedroom. You can decorate with outer space decor from a fantasy genre, but some of the most dramatic effects can be created with real life space themes. Places like The Space Store are proud sponsors of the Ansari X Prize, recently won by SpaceShipOne. Celebrate the X PRIZE with official Space Ship One and X PRIZE cool shirts, hats and more, by clicking here. There's also a whole bunch of genuine NASA-themed decor such as clothing, astronaut patches, and flight suits that you can hang in your child's room to give it a more authentic space exploration feel. Everything from building models of the Space Shuttle or Apollo rockets to all kinds of space-themed gifts placed strategically on shelves or dressers can create a very genuine feel to the room. For the more advanced collector, you can even acquire genuine outer space memorabilia! Mission patches or die-cast pins from each of NASA's space missions can be collected and displayed in beautiful fashion with just a shadowbox or glass enclosed frame. Your child can also find autographs of the United States' most famous astronauts, as well as genuine meteorites, original space program artwork, limited edition commemoratives and more. It's a good idea to find out what your child's favorite space themes, rockets, or vehicles are, and then begin building a theme around those things.

Industrial designer Charles Bombardier has unveiled a hypersonic jet, Antipode, that he claims will cover the distance between London and New York in a mind boggling 11 minutes travelling at a speed of Mach 10. He conceived the Antipode in collaboration with #LunaticKoncepts founder Abhishek Roy. Bombardier says the jet can reach up toMach 24, twice the speed of Skreemr and 12 times faster than the Concorde. The jet can carry 10 persons to a distance of 20,000km in less than an hour, he claimed. It may be mentioned here that one Mach averages 1,195 kmph, a speed equal to that of sound. An aircraft flying at Mach 10 is ten times faster than the speed of sound. The Antipode can be an ideal business or military aircraft to fly top officials anywhere in the globe within no time, he said. The aircraft would have rocket boosters attached to its wings that would propel the plane to 40,000 feet, enabling it to reach Mach 5 before separating and flying back to base. An on board computer would then fire up the supersonic combustion engines, thereby increasing the jet’s speed up to Mach 24. To avoid overheating, the jet will use NASA’s Long Penetration Mode concept under which spouts on the jet’s nose and wings would use the air flowing through will cool down the plane’s temperature. Also, it would drown the sound created by breaking the sound barrier. The plane would still have to be built using heat and pressure-proof materials, said Bombardier.

Aerospace in 1991: Changes in Europe Aerospace in 1991 saw some changes in Europe. Meanwhile, the European Community was hard at work in an effort to liberalize the air transport industry in Europe and to create a common policy consistent with the economic integration of EC members that was scheduled to occur in 1992. The main proposals adopted by the EC Commission were intended to accomplish the following by 1993: provide airlines with greater freedom to set fares, with complete freedom permitted in 1996; permit airlines of member states to fly anywhere within the Community, so that Lufthansa could offer service between two French cities, for example; and institute common licensing criteria for airlines. Although the EC plan would foster more competition and presumably yield lower fares, EC officials said it was not like deregulation in the United States because it would still require airlines to provide service where necessary and would maintain fair standards of competition. As the 1992 deadline neared, major European lines like British Airways, KLM, Sabena, and others were reorganizing by trimming costs, revamping their route networks, and seeking other international partners. In the case of Sabena, management sought alliances with new partners such as British Airways and KLM, each of which has a 20 percent stake in the Belgian-based carrier. Sabena was also developing its own version of a hub-and-spoke system, maintaining most of its traditional routes between Brussels and other major cities while searching out ‘under-served’ European cities to feed into its Brussels hub. The changes in Europe as it concerns aerospace in 1991 was intended to foster economic development and healthy competition while at the same time controlling certain activities within the Zone such as essential services with a view to serving the public better although it could not be compared with the deregulation in the United States at the time. - Aerospace in 1988: U.S. Airlines Safety (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - Aerospace in 1988: U.S. Airlines (Crew Performance) (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - Aerospace in 1988: Europe’s Crowded Skies (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - Aerospace in 1988: Impact of Aging Planes on U.S. Airlines (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - New Technology, New Airports for Aerospace in 1988 (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - U.S. Airlines and Eastern Tribulations during 1988 Aerospace (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - Aerospace Industry Products: Aircraft and Jet Engines (egrejeen.wordpress.com) - Aerospace Industry Products (egrejeen.wordpress.com)

Get Task & Purpose in your inbox South Korea fires warning shots at Russian military aircraft that violated airspace SEOUL (Reuters) - The South Korean military fired two warning shots at a Russian military aircraft that entered South Korean airspace on Tuesday, the Ministry of National Defense in Seoul said, and Chinese military aircraft had also entered South Korean airspace. It was the first time a Russian military aircraft had violated South Korean airspace, a ministry official said. The warplane was one of three Russian aircraft to enter the Korea Air Defense Identification Zone (KADIZ) early on Tuesday. Two Chinese military aircraft also entered the KADIZ, the defense ministry said in a statement. There was no immediate public comment from Russian or Chinese officials. The South Korean government would lodge official complaints about the violations with China and Russia, the defense ministry in Seoul said. According to the South Korean military, the Russian aircraft then violated South Korean airspace over Dokdo - an island that is occupied by South Korea and also claimed by Japan, which calls it Takeshima - just after 9 a.m. (midnight GMT Monday). "The South Korean military took tactical action including dropping flares and firing a warning shot," the defense ministry statement said. The Russian aircraft left South Korean airspace but then entered it again about 20 minutes later, prompting the South Koreans to fire another warning shot. The ministry said South Korean warplanes "conducted a normal response" to the incursion, without giving further details.= Editor's note: This article by Gina Harkins originally appeared on Military.com, a leading source of news for the military and veteran community. For U.S. service members who have fought alongside the Kurds, President Donald Trump's decision to approve repositioning U.S. forces in Syria ahead of Turkey's invasion is a naked betrayal of valued allies. "I am ashamed for the first time in my career," one unnamed special operator told Fox News Jennifer Griffin. In a Twitter thread that went viral, Griffin wrote the soldier told her the Kurds were continuing to support the United States by guarding tens of thousands of ISIS prisoners even though Turkey had nullified an arrangement under which U.S. and Turkish troops were conducting joint patrols in northeastern Syria to allow the Kurdish People's Protection Units, or YPG, to withdraw. "The Kurds are sticking by us," the soldier told Griffin. "No other partner I have ever dealt with would stand by us." MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia announced on Monday it would hold a large test of its Strategic Missile Forces that will see it fire ballistic and cruise missiles from the land, sea and air this week. The exercise, from Oct. 15-17, will involve around 12,000 military personnel, as well as aircraft, including strategic nuclear bombers, surface ships and submarines, Russia's Ministry of Defense said in a statement. WASHINGTON, DC — Textron Systems, its subsidiary Howe & Howe, and FLIR Systems, Inc. unveiled their bid for a new Army robotic combat vehicle Monday — the Ripsaw M5, a well-armed tracked vehicle equipped with high-end sensors that can deploy unmanned air and ground assets like a drone mothership. This robotic combat vehicle design was on display Monday at the Association of the United States Army conference in Washington, DC.

Eurocopter Unveils its new EC130 T2 Eurocopter has unveiled its newest helicopter, the EC130 T2, which features enhanced comfort, improved operational performance and increased versatility for this popular member of the company’s lightweight single-engine product line. While retaining the EC130’s existing external lines, approximately 70 percent of the EC130 T2’s airframe structure has been modified. New and updated features on the helicopter include the use of a more powerful Arriel 2D turboshaft engine and upgraded main gearbox; the incorporation of an active vibration control system; improved air ventilation, distribution and demisting systems; a cabin interior structure redesign with a full flat floor; a cockpit update for enhanced man-machine interface; new energy-absorbing seats that improve weight and balance for passenger loading; integration of a crashworthy fuel tank; and increased maintenance accessibility for electrical and air conditioning systems. The EC130 T2’s increased performance is provided by its Turbomeca Arriel 2D engine, which provides 10 percent more average power than the EC130’s current powerplant with lower specific fuel consumption. Based on the proven Arriel 2 engine family, the Arriel 2D benefits from such technology advancements as a new axial compressor and new blade materials, and also provides a higher time between overhaul (TBO) intervals. The Arriel 2D is used at its full-power rating of 952 shp. on the EC130 T2, and is the same engine that equips Eurocopter’s evolved AS350 B3e helicopter in a de-rated version. Performance improvements for the EC130 T2 include a higher maximum gross takeoff weight (2,500 kg. for internal loads and 3,050 kg. when external loads are carried) and a speed increase of up to 10 kts. Even with these enhancements, the EC130 T2’s external sound level remains within the rules for flights at America’s Grand Canyon National Park – an important factor for tour operators. The no. 1 EC130 T2 has logged 90 flight hours since its first flight in 2011, demonstrating maturity of the new configuration for a certification scheduled this summer. Final assembly of the initial series production aircraft began last December at Eurocopter’s Marignane, France facility. By the second half of 2012, production will transition completely to the EC130 T2 version.

Recent images from NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover caused a flutter of excitement on social media, specially since some of them appears to feature a rainbow on the Red Planet. The rover's Hazard Avoidance Camera picked up what looks like a perfect rainbow in the Martian sky on April 4. The image has gone viral on the Internet and sparked mass speculation online, given that rainbows should not be possible in the very dry atmosphere of Mars. Reddit users speculated that the "rainbow" could actually be a "dustbow" caused by dust, rather than water droplets. Users also dug out an old comment from NASA Mars Program Office Chief Scientist Rich Zurek said that "icebows" could appear on Mars. "Not quite rainbows, because there is no rain, but we have seen icebows with the Pathfinder mission," he wrote in response to a query in a 2015 'Ask Me Anything' session on Reddit. So what exactly does NASA's picture show? The space agency took to Twitter to answer the question a few hours ago. "Many have asked: Is that a rainbow on Mars? No. Rainbows aren't possible here," NASA's Perseverance rover clarified. "Rainbows are created by light reflected off of round water droplets, but there isn't enough water here to condense, and it's too cold for liquid water in the atmosphere. This arc is a lens flare," it explained. Many have asked: Is that a rainbow on Mars? No. Rainbows aren't possible here.

Pair of Liybian MIG-25 Foxbats Fighters are at the Oka Ben Nafi Airbase in Tripole Airplanes - Military - Parked - Fighters Please enter the Anti-Spam code @ 2005-10-29 12:14:58 Those aren't Mirage F-1s. The F-1 has swept back wings at both the leading AND trailing edge where as the plane in the image has swept leading edges but straight trailing edges. The aircraft in the image also has twin engines and twin vertical stabilizers. The F-1 has one of each (see the shadows?). Also, not the square engine intakes near the cockpit? There's only one aircraft in the Libyan inventory with twin engines between twin tails, large square intakes abreast the cockpit, and the wing configuration of the aircraft in the image: the MiG-25 Foxbat. Libyan Air Force: @ 2005-10-29 12:20:14 There are three more MiG-25s parked on the apron to the east and what look like a pair of MiG-23s in desert camouflage and, parked in the SE dispersal area you can see seven more MiG-25s and a pair of MiG-23s. @ 2005-10-29 12:28:10 There is an apparenlty unused Tu-22 parked in the dirt just off of the circular disperasal pad at 32.893570,13.267847 @ 2005-10-29 14:37:27 Thanks for the schooling. It is appreciated. @ 2005-10-29 14:39:30 When you say the TU-22 is "unused" is it because it is in the bushes, or are there other tailtale signs that it is dormant? @ 2005-10-29 14:52:15 Is that a missile battery parked in middle of the garden area near the seven other MiG-25s and pair of MiG-23s? @ 2005-10-29 14:57:01 That "garden area" is interesting. It has been landscaped to look like the surrounding countryside, complete with grass-covered hangars and manicured shrubbery. If not for the dozen or so fighters parked between the hedgerows and the enormous airstrip adjacent to it, you'd think it were a city park. @ 2005-10-29 21:49:54 I think the TU-22 is unused/abandoned because of where it is parked. Since there is no real threat to the Libyan Air Force it would be odd to park a functional aircraft in the dirt next to a perfectly good parking spot. Also, the way it is parked, in the bushes up against the fence, leads me to believe they're not planning on using it any time soon. The landscaping is exactly what you think it is...camouflage. Covering the hangars with dirt and plants makes them harder to spot, and therefore hit, from a high, fast flying plane. However, with the advent of GPS guided bombs the camouflage is pretty much negated as a GPS guided bomb doesn't see anything anyway. I don't think those are missiles but more likely the tops and edges of buried hangar roofs. @ 2005-10-29 22:11:54 Great. Thanks again for the info.

Gliding, Introductory Glider Flight - Melbourne Do you know someone that has always wanted to be a pilot? Send them on an introductory gliding flight with a qualified instructor over Melbourne. Gliding is one of Australia's fastest growing activities, and it's easy to see why. The perfect mix of elegant flying, gentle exhilaration and friendly atmosphere at the gliding club makes for an unforgettable experience. After an introduction with your qualified flight instructor you will be towed to your chosen release height by one of our tow aircraft (normally around 2-3,000ft). Once the required height has been reached the instructor will release the glider from the tow aircraft and the wonderful experience of "silent flight" commences. You will be soaring on the thermals in the same way as birds. In fact, with no engines to scare them away, don't be surprised if you are joined mid-flight by a local Sea Eagle! At his/her discretion, the instructor may also allow you to have some "hands on" flying experience and teach you the basics of flying the glider. This adventure flight is an excellent gift for any thrill seeker, with the option for time at the controls for someone who has always wanted to be a pilot. |05 Sep 15 (Saturday)||Places| |06 Sep 15 (Sunday)||Places| |12 Sep 15 (Saturday)||Places| |13 Sep 15 (Sunday)||Places| |19 Sep 15 (Saturday)||Places| |20 Sep 15 (Sunday)||Places| |26 Sep 15 (Saturday)||Places| |27 Sep 15 (Sunday)||Places| |03 Oct 15 (Saturday)||Places| |04 Oct 15 (Sunday)||Places| |10 Oct 15 (Saturday)||Places| |11 Oct 15 (Sunday)||Places| |17 Oct 15 (Saturday)||Places| |18 Oct 15 (Sunday)||Places| |24 Oct 15 (Saturday)||Places| |25 Oct 15 (Sunday)||Places| |31 Oct 15 (Saturday)||Places| |01 Nov 15 (Sunday)||Places| |07 Nov 15 (Saturday)||Places| |08 Nov 15 (Sunday)||Places| Fitness and Experience - You must be fit enough to climb in and out of the glider cabin unaided - Minimum age 15 - Maximum weight 105kg - Maximum height 195cm What to Bring/Wear - Parts of our airfield are grass and can be soft and wet at times, so bring shoes that are suited to that environment - Sunglasses are recommended - Wear flat-soled shoes and bring a jumper with you in case it gets cold at higher altitudes - Bring sunblock and a hat in summer - Camera for before and after shots (cameras are not recommended inside the aircraft) - BYO snacks and drinks, there are no cafe facilities at the airfield What is Supplied - Introductory Gliding flight of up to 20 minutes (the length of glider flights depends entirely on the prevailing thermals - currents of warmer air that provide the lift). - All instruction and safety equipment Gliding venues are run as non-profit-making clubs and operate on a first come first served basis - you might be asked to sign onto a flight list and wait your turn to glide. - Australia's No. 1 gift website (Hitwise) - Lowest price guarantee - Safe & secure shopping - Vouchers can be used towards any experience - Gift Vouchers valid for 18 months - Expert consultants - Australia's longest running adventure site - FREE Express Shipping for gifts over $119

Saturday, July 6, 2013 Airplane on fire at SFO airport A plane is burning on the runway at San Francisco International Airport while emergency personnel attempt to evacuate survivors. According to Heavy.com, the plane is a Boeing 777 Asiana flight that was coming in from Seoul, South Korea. Witnesses are saying that the plane’s tail touched the runway as it attempted to land. Raw Story will post more updates as information becomes available. UPDATE: KTVU Channel 2 reported that the flight was carrying 290 passengers and that the plane’s tail section appeared to come off as the plane touched down. A witness told the TV station that at around 11:30 a.m. local time, the plane had extended its landing gear and was coming in to land when the tail section separated from the aircraft. The plane reportedly began to wobble, then flipped on to its back, skidding to a halt with smoke pouring from the cabin. The Redwood City Fire Department is on the scene. UPDATE: One passenger, David Eun, tweeted, “I just crash landed at SFO. Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I’m ok. Surreal” along with a photo of the burning aircraft.

Study: RoboBee takes flight at 120 wing flaps a second Dr. Will Dickson of CalTech demonstrates his large-scale RoboFly robot. Insect-Eye Camera Offers Wide-Angle Vision for Tiny Drones The insect-eye camera depends on each individual unit to contribute 1 pixel of resolution. A 180-pixel-resolution camera may not do much right now, but the camera design can scale up its resolution by adding more units to the overall array. Rogers anticipates making camera designs with better resolution than the eyes of praying mantises (15 000 eye units) and dragonflies (28 000 eye units). The technology won’t likely be used in consumer digital cameras any time soon. But the insect-eye cameras could be used in medical devices, such as endoscopes, which give physicians a look inside the human body. Alexander Borst, director of the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology, in Germany, envisions commercial versions of the cameras within the next year or two. The race is on: Manufacturer sets sights on market for armed drones Death from a swarm of tiny drones: U.S. Air Force releases terrifying video of tiny flybots that can can hover, stalk and even kill targets - Air Vehicles Directorate at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, is already developing prototypes of tiny drones that can hover - The Micro Air Vehicles will work in swarms to provide complex surveillance of a battlefield - They can also be armed with incapacitating chemicals, combustible payloads or even explosives 'for precision targeting capability' The lethal micro-drones that can crawl, hover and perch Video: Dragonfly Drones in Flight More than a few people were skeptical, when the Washington Post picked up on our story about robotic dragonfly spies. The paper quoted eyewitness accounts — but failed to find any agency who would admit to using this type of micro air vehicle. Dragonfly Drone Takes Flight Created by Festo, a leader in pneumatic and electrical automation technology, the BionicOpter is just over 17 inches long and weighs only six ounces. Inside its lightweight aluminum and plastic housing is a microcontroller that calculates input from onboard sensors and actuators, then translates that data to the servo motors in the wings New dragonfly drone can be controlled with a smartphone Each of the four wings can flap and twist individually and the power of thrust for each wing can be adjusted, allowing it to take on complex maneuvers, but Festo says the drone is easily controlled by a smartphone because flapping frequency, amplitude and installation angle are controlled by software and electronics -- all the controller has to do is steer the dragonfly. The software determines the motion sequences based on the steering. Read more @: http://www.treehugger.com/gadgets/new-dragonfly-drone-can-be-controlled-smartphone.html

With Mars In Sight [VIDEO] having departed for the Red Planet for a late November landing, NASA is preparing for the Mars 2020 rover, an enhanced version of the Mars Curiosity that is now rolling about the Martian surface. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine [VIDEO] announced on Twitter that the Mars 2020 would have another enhancement. NASA will send a tiny helicopter to Mars along with its next rover in July 2020. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine described the prospect of a helicopter flying the skies of another planet as "thrilling", while Zurbuchen compared the mission to the Wright brothers pioneering flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903. "This exciting and visionary achievement will inspire young people all over the United States to become scientists and engineers, paving the way for even greater discoveries in the future". The remote Mars Helicopter, created to carry flight in the thin Martian setting with twin counter-rotating bladesthat weighs about four pounds (1.8 kilograms), with a fuselage the size of a softball, NASA explained. The helicopter will ride to Mars attached to the rover's belly pan, officials said. Once the helicopter is placed on Mars, the rover will move to a safe distance and relay commands. The helicopter's first flight will see it climb 10 feet (3 meters) into the Martian air, where it will attempt to hover for 30 seconds. Eventually, over the course of 30 days, it will make five flights of increasingly farther distances, eventually to heights of up to hundreds of meters and staying in the air for up to 90 seconds. These are powered by lithium-ion batteries charged by solar cells that also help to run heaters to protect the electronics from freezing in the subzero Martian nights. Cong Prez Rahul Gandhi brackets Trump, Modi with world's "reactionary" leaders On the other hand, Congress is keeping on telling their same words against BJP. BJP, under the leadership of former Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. "The altitude record for a helicopter flying here on Earth is about 40,000 feet". But don't let its cute stature fool you; this little fellow packs a lot of power and its twin blades are able to rotate 10 times faster than what we normally see here on Earth, reaching nearly 3,000 revolutions per minute. "We have an autonomous capability that will be able to receive and interpret commands from the ground, and then fly the mission on its own", Aung said. It has the potential to revolutionize the study of other planets by introducing robotic heavier-than-air aerial vehicles to the task of deep space exploration. Such views are provided now by orbiting spacecraft. Just like the twin MarCO CubeSats now on their way to the Red Planet as part of the historic InSight mission, the "marscopter" is a trailblazer meant to demonstrate that the technology can be used in exploration missions. When NASA releases its following vagabond to Mars, the vehicle will certainly have a tiny helicopter along for the flight. The aptly named Mars Helicopter is all primed to make history. As a technology demonstration, the Mars Helicopter is considered a high-risk, high-reward project. Now it appears that the company has actually made a decision that this helicopter concept might in fact function.

by Yoo Seungki SEOUL, July 13 (Xinhua) -- South Korea decided Wednesday to deploy the U.S. missile defense system, namely the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), to its southeastern region, but it might have limited defense effect against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s missile attacks, experts said. Seoul's defense ministry announced a plan to deploy one THAAD battery to the Seongsan-ri region of the Seongju county in North Gyeongsang province by the end of next year. Yoo Jeh-seung, deputy defense minister for policy, told a nationally televised briefing that U.S. interceptors can protect a half to two-thirds of South Korean territory. According to the ministry, the THAAD system can shield regions as far as southern Gyeonggi province, which surrounds Seoul, from DPRK ballistic missiles as they have a maximum range of 200 km. The protectable range allegedly includes Pyeongtaek and Gunsan. Pyeongtaek, some 70 km south of Seoul, is home to U.S. Forces Korea (USFK)'s new headquarters, while the U.S. Air Force has a large presence in Gunsan, about 270 km southwest of the capital. "Claims to be able to shield two-thirds of the territory can be seen in a pamphlet of Lockheed Martin. The higher the intercepting altitude, the smaller the protectable range is," said Cheong Wooksik, director of Peace Network. The coverage, which South Korea claimed THAAD missiles can protect, was simplistically estimated from a two-dimensional perspective without consideration of the altitude, according to the civic group activist. Therefore, its operational capability is exaggerated. Cheong said at a forum hosted by the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD) that there is a clear difference between a maximum intercepting range and an effective coverage of the THAAD missiles. The THAAD's effective range is not known to the public as it would be much lower than the maximum coverage. The THAAD, developed by the U.S.-based defense company Lockheed Martin, is designed to shoot down missiles at an altitude of 40-150 km using a hit-to-kill approach. It is composed of six mobile launchers, 48 interceptors, radar and fire control system valued at about 1.5 trillion won (1.3 billion U.S. dollars). Despite Seoul's alleged propaganda that THAAD tests succeeded more than 10 times, such belief is too naive for a government to give a full confidence as the system never proved its intercepting capability transparently and objectively. "The U.S. THAAD tests are known to have been conducted to shoot down missiles dropped from a large transport aircraft at a pre-arranged time and place. (South Korea's military authorities) may not be fully informed of the test procedures," said Cheong. As THAAD interceptors use a hit-to-kill approach, they are required to precisely hit a warhead head-on. The missiles without explosive materials inside would easily bounce off the round-tipped warheads of DPRK missiles. The concept is like hitting a bullet with another bullet. U.S. Patriot missiles, which South Korea's military already held, can intercept ballistic missiles by exploding warhead-carried explosive materials near the incoming missiles, raising possibility for shooting down targets. Seoul's defense ministry said Seoul and the metropolitan area will be shielded with U.S. Patriot interceptors, which will be reinforced near the regions. It indicated the THAAD system will be deployed to protect U.S. military bases in South Korea, differing from the government's claim that it is aimed at protecting South Korean people. "The main reason for the THAAD's deployment on the Korean peninsula is to protect U.S. forces and equipments," said Cheong Seong-Chang, a senior researcher at the private Sejong Institute. The DPRK allegedly owns about 400 Scud missiles, which fly at an altitude of 20-60 km and reach Seoul and the metropolitan area in five minutes. The country also has some 300 Rodong ballistic missiles with a range of 1,300 km and around 50 Musudan intermediate-range ballistic missiles ranging 3,000-3,500 km. The THAAD system might not be able to intercept nuclear-tipped Rodong or Musudan missiles as the DPRK missiles would travel at a lower altitude that can avoid the THAAD's interception range, said analysts.

Radio Control Model Airplanes Build and fly radio control model aircraft – enjoy a great hobby! Ever since the Wright Brothers were the first to get airborne with their gas engine powered Flyer in 1903, hobbyists have enjoyed emulating their achievement by flying model planes. Technology has always been the pacing item for successful model aircraft flight. The first flying models were free flight designs powered by wound rubber band motors. Expertise grew. Soon, free flight models were powered by small gas engines. By the late 1930s the first primitive radio control aircraft took to the skies under single channel rudder control. In these exciting early days, simply getting a model plane back to its landing site in one piece was considered a resounding success. Practical Radio Control The development of lightweight, solid state electronics lead to the introduction of practical radio control gear for the RC hobbyist in the early 1960s. These early radio control sets offered “bang-bang” control via reed technology. The RC transmitter had up to four channels of control (rudder, elevator, throttle and ailerons) but the model’s control surfaces were either centered or at full throw. RC pilots had to be very agile on the transmitter control buttons (no sticks with RF reeds) to properly guide their model through a series of maneuvers. The ultimate desire of model pilots everywhere was a fully proportional radio control system. Proportional control describes servo arm position that matches the transmitter control stick movement. If the pilot moves the elevator transmitter control stick halfway, the model’s elevator moves 50 percent. Proportional radio control sets became routine by the early 1970s. The price of electronic hardware continued to drop while technical features increased. It soon became common to see RC systems of up to ten channels of control operating features such as flaps, retractable landing gear and bomb drops. This state of technical development for RC model aviation remained fairly static until the late 1990s. About the only notable change was the continued drop in price for electronics. Modelers still built their own aircraft, and the flying scene did not vary much year to year. Starting in the late 1990s, three significant events rapidly changed the face of remote control modeling. These included the introduction of computer functions to the transmitter, 2.4 GHz spread spectrum technology and the advent of practical ready to fly model airplanes. The inclusion of computers as part of the most basic RC transmitter had a major impact on modeling. Tasks that used to be challenging, such as reversing a servo’s movement direction, could now be programmed with the flip of a switch. Computers for the first time allowed the introduction of new control techniques. These included exponential rates, where the airplane control surface moves in a non-proportional manner compared to the transmitter stick to allow for high performance 3D acrobatics. Dual rates can also be employed, to allow for selectable total control movement when practicing varied flight maneuvers such as landing approaches or acrobatics. The adoption of 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio technology started around 2005, and has been the most significant change to radio control modeling since the introduction of fully proportional control in the early 1960s. Prior to 2.4 GHz usage, all RC transmitters operated on discrete frequencies, commonly referred to as channels. Pilots had to be absolutely certain not to fly on the same channel at the same time, or else they would jam each other resulting in loss of radio contact and a model airplane crash. Spread spectrum technology Spread spectrum technology has completely fixed this problem by technical deconfliction of transmitter radio signals. 2.4 GHz techniques have been so completely accepted by modelers that you will have a challenging time even finding one of the older single frequency transmitters for sale today. The final advancement for flying model aircraft involves the introduction of high quality and affordable ready to fly (RTF) models. Until quite recently, modelers had to build whatever aircraft they wished to fly. Manufacturers now create designs using CAD and laser cutting techniques that allow for the rapid construction of radio control models overseas. These models vary from the smallest micro flyers to large scale acrobatic contest winners. Due to efficient manufacturing processes these RTF aircraft can often be purchased at a lower cost than if the modeler built the aircraft in their workshop. The combination of affordable models, inexpensive RC gear and no requirement to earmark numerous days for model construction allow pilots everywhere to enjoy flying a wide range of aircraft types. It truly is a great time to enjoy the hobby of radio control model planes. Author: Gordon McKay

The Cessna Citation Sovereign is a long-range business jet capable of handling coast-to-coast trips with style and elegance. Since its introduction at the NBAA exhibition in Las Vegas in 1998, the Citation Sovereign has become a household name to many in the private aviation industry. This mid-size jet possesses a spacious cabin comparable to that of larger aircraft, and boasts enhanced fuel efficiency and extended range. One of Cessna’s most popular models, it was replaced in 2013 with the improved Citation Sovereign Plus. Citation Sovereign Features The Citation Sovereign features 620 cubic feet of cabin volume, and can accommodate nine passengers. There is plenty of space for movement and productivity in the cabin, which is over 25 feet long, 5.7 feet high, and 5.6 feet wide. Additionally, included in the cabin is an impressive 135 cubic feet of storage for luggage and golf clubs, nearly doubling the amount of storage space found in most midsize jets. The interior is just as large as the notorious Cessna Citation Latitude, easily fitting nine suitcases or eight golf bags comfortably and conveniently. With a soft white interior and sleek chestnut wood finishes, the Citation Sovereign is designed for luxury and class. The business jet features universal power outlets to charge your phone or computer while up in the air, video monitors, speakers throughout the cabin, and a stocked galley. The seats are arranged in a double-club setup and can swivel 180 degrees. The cabin is equipped with a closet big enough to store full-size garment bags and larger luggage. A more efficient LED lighting system has been added, and a double-door bathroom with a mirrored door allows passengers complete privacy and enough space to change clothing comfortably. Performance-wise, the Citation Sovereign is in a class of its own. The Sovereign can take off from a runway as short as 4,000 feet and land on one as short as 2,620 feet. Due to its premier dual Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines, the aircraft is able to achieve great speeds of up to 512 mph while producing 5,600 lbs of thrust per engine. Trailing link landing gears are also installed on this aircraft, which allow for softer landings and increased stability. What truly sets this aircraft apart from the rest of the series is its incredible range. The Cessna Citation Sovereign can travel non-stop for 2,884 nautical miles and carry a total of 11,223 lbs. of fuel. This allows the jet to connect the east and west coasts, as well as tackle speedy travel to international destinations.

The ATRA conducted three days of noise-minimising landing tests at Frankfurt Airport. (DLR) Researchers in Germany have tested a new ‘pilot assistance system’ designed to reduce noise during aircraft landings while saving fuel. The tests, which were conducted as part of a joint research project by the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) research centre and the German airport and regional forum Umwelt- und Nachbarschaftshauses (UNH), were conducted using a modified Airbus A320 Advanced Technology Research Aircraft (ATRA) at Frankfurt Airport. UNH has contributed Euro 560,000 towards the project. Landing an aircraft can generate a high volume of noise on the ground below depending on the speed and height of the aircraft, the thrust from the engines and the deployment of flaps, undercarriage and speed brakes. Landing is also the busiest part of the flight for pilots who have many other things to think about in addition to how much noise the aircraft is making. To address this problem, DLR have created the Low Noise Augmentation System (LNAS) pilot assistance system which is displayed on the flight deck to show the pilot exactly when each noise-mitigation manoeuvre should be carried out. Displayed via the pilot’s electronic flight bag (EFB), the LNAS shows the pilot sees the ideal vertical approach profile separated into various phases on the display, showing when speed should be adjusted and flaps or undercarriage deployed. The LNAS can be used to guide pilots from cruising altitude down to stabilisation height 1,000 feet above the ground with minimum thrust, resulting in the lowest possible generation of noise and consumption of fuel. "If the pilot follows the instructions at the precisely calculated times, in line with the approach controller's instructions, this part of the landing phase can be completed with the engines at flight idle," explains Sven Oppermann from the DLR Institute of Flight Systems. From PhD to flight demo The LNAS shows the pilot what needs to be done at each stage of descent to reduce noise. (DLR) The LNAS concept originates from a doctoral research project at the DLR Institute of Flight Systems in Braunschweig. Prior to this year’s flights using the A320, the system was tested in 2014 using the Air Vehicle Simulator (AVES) at the DLR Institute of Flight Systems. Four external pilots and three DLR test pilots each carried out 11 simulated descents into Frankfurt Airport under varying conditions, such as different wind speeds and glide slope angles. Initial evaluations from these tests showed that using the assistance system could save up to 11kg of fuel per descent. The use of speed brakes, which generate a great deal of noise, could be avoided by using the assistance system. In addition, the approaches were more precise and the potential for reducing noise levels during descent was demonstrated. After being tested in a simulator the LNAS was trialled in initial research flights with no surrounding air traffic. This was followed by three days of test flights conducted at Frankfurt from 26-28 September. DLR’s ATRA Airbus A320-232 research aircraft. (DLR) The tests were conducted using the ATRA Airbus A320-232 flying test bed which has been in service with DLR since 2008. ATRA has several cockpit interfaces, additional data links and a head-up display. The test aircraft has been modified to include energy supply and cooling systems, data system recording, air data and inertial systems, video cameras, working stations for flight test engineers and researchers, intercom system, racks for instruments, additional computers or other equipment, additional navigation and datalink antennas. There is also a ground station with data processing and telemetry links to the aircraft, as well as a full flight simulator. The ATRA aircraft has been modified for research projects. (DLR) In addition to testing low-noise approach and departure procedures, ATRA is also used for a number of different research areas: - Testing of aeroelastic measurement techniques - Research into inner space acoustics - Airframe noise measurement - Measurement of turbulence at the wing and at the tailplane - Testing of new measurement techniques, such as PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry), an optical method for measuring velocity fields - Measurement of wake vortices and research into flight control commands for passing through them - Atmospheric and engine measurements - Research into pilots' workload and division of work - Testing navigation and communication technologies for aircraft Keeping the noise down The pilot assistance system is displayed on the pilot’s electronic flight bag screen. (DLR) The tests comprised five test flights per day, including take-off, approach and go-around using the northwest runway at Frankfurt Airport. The flights were co-ordinated with the airport, together with the German DFS (Deutsche Flugsicherung) air traffic control service. During each flight, the DLR flight captain was accompanied by four pilots who each conducted two approaches in normal operational conditions with and without the pilot assistance system. Data was recorded from each flight showing altitude and speed and their effect on noise, fuel consumption and flight time within the constraints of real flight operations. Landings are not the same each time, as they are affected by factors such as weather conditions, visibility, aircraft weight and instructions from air traffic control. Researchers at DLR wanted to learn how the new advice system could cope with such variables. LNAS includes preliminary path planning, runtime correction and energy-based display components. Using the data generated from the aircraft, a simplified simulation model is generated for the preliminary path planning of an ideal vertical approach profile including optimum points for deploying the flaps and landing gear, and speed setpoints. If the pilot carries out manoeuvres in line with the guidelines, the approach from cruising altitude to the stabilisation height can be carried out with minimal thrust (engines at flight idle). During the approach, the wind values are recorded at each new altitude which are used to improve the wind profile for the entire approach. Should the pilots carry out an action too early or too late or there are new instructions from the approach controllers, the recommended sequence of actions can be constantly adapted and changes made to the individual action timings. The optimisation goals for the adjustments adhere to the stabilisation conditions at the 1,000-foot gate, the lowest possible engine speed and the avoidance of spoiler deployment. Independent verification of the effectiveness of the system in reducing noise was provided by a network of noise measurement stations set up around Frankfurt airport. The results of the project are to be presented at the fourth International Conference on Active Noise Abatement (ICANA 2016) to be held in November. Greener by Design The Society will be hosting its annual Greener by Design Conference on 17-18 October 2016 where noise and air quality issues will be discussed.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering services ensure the maintenance of aircrafts’ condition and the safety of the passengers. Aircraft Engineers detect the issues and troubleshoot the problems through the given instructions. According to a Global research survey, around 35000 newly developed aircraft need to be introduced into the service sector by 2030. The data implies a five-lakhs job requirement for the Licenced Aircraft Engineers (LAE) in the coming years. Only the licenced Aircraft Engineers and Technicians can perform all kinds of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and repair works. Other jobs associated with the Aeronautics sector and Aviation industry experience high demand for skilled and efficient candidates. The blog intends to discuss the whereabouts of the best college for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering in India. It is high time for the students who aspire to become Aircraft Maintenance Engineers to research the institutions and courses available in India. Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Aircraft Maintenance Engineering deals with the quality assurance and improvement of aircraft. Few institutes in India offer the licenced course; accredited by the International Civil Aviation Organization. Without a doubt, Hindustan Aerospace and Engineering (HAE) is one leading aircraft organization in India, offering its students quality knowledge and profound training courses under the mentorship of excellent faculty members. Hindustan Aerospace and Engineering is India’s best Aircraft Maintenance Engineering College with its constructive educational environment, dedicated faculty members, solid infrastructure, and strong employability. The college set up its journey back in 2005 in Pune under the eye of the Director-General of Civil Aviation, Government of India. The primary objective of establishing the educational institute has been to offer the students Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Courses. With changing times and needs, the aviation institute has been upgraded according to the latest regulation CAR-147 by the Director General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Civil Aviation. The institute is dedicated to producing skilled and trained Aircraft Maintenance Engineers every year.

NASA really wants to launch the Artemis I mission this month, but won’t rush repairs. Getting the Artemis Program on track is critical however. With safety in mind, NASA wants to conduct a tanking test on September 17. Before that happens though they are in the process of replacing two seals, “one surrounding the 8-inch line used to fill and drain liquid hydrogen from the core stage, and another surrounding the 4-inch bleed line used to redirect some of the propellant during tanking operations.” To replace the seals they’ve “disconnected the ground- and rocket-side plates on the interface, called a quick disconnect, for the liquid hydrogen fuel feed line.” To facilitate the replacement of the seals, and rather than taking the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building, they opted instead to build a “a tent-like enclosure around the work area to protect the hardware and teams from weather and other environmental conditions at Launch Pad 39B.” Once the seals are replaced NASA will conduct the tanking test on the Sept. 17. That test will have the Space Launch System’s core stage and interim cryogenic propulsion stage “loaded with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen to validate the repair under the conditions it would experience on launch day.” NASA did note that the tanking test could slip a day or two and that it needs four days between the tanking test and launch attempt. If all those the tests are successful they will proceed with the launch and NASA has identified two launch windows, Sept. 23 and 27. NASA first needs Eastern Range clearance and has requested clearance from the US Space Force Space Launch Delta 45 (formerly the 45th Space Wing). The two hour launch window on Sept. 23 opens at 6:47 a.m. EDT. If NASA launches on this day, the Orion capsule will return on October 18. A 70 minute launch window is available on Sept. 27 and opens at 11:37 a.m EDT and the Orion spacecraft would return on November 5.

JD.com, China’s second largest e-commerce retailer, has partnered with Tianjin Air Cargo, a unit of HNA Group, to ship goods on dedicated B737 freighters as the e-commerce giant ramps up its logistics business. The new service, which launches today, will fly six round trips a week and using dedicated B737 freighters branded with the JD Logistics logo. The e-commerce company said transportation and delivery between Tianjin (TSN) and Guangzhou (CAN) will be faster than previously when it relied on shared aircraft and ground transportation. With more, dedicated capacity, JD will be able to continue its unparalleled service of delivering orders same- or next-day, nationwide, it says. The aircraft will also be used for JD’s growing logistics business, which includes business-to-business transportation and individual parcel delivery throughout China. Until now the e-commerce group has relied on moving freight in the belly holds of passenger aircraft. “The use of an all-cargo aircraft in air freight is more reliable than the common alternative of bellyhold capacity on civil passenger airlines because flight times can be adjusted according to industry demand, as opposed to having to comply with commercial airline schedules,” JD.com notes. Earlier this year in March, JD.com and the HNA Group entered into a ‘Strategic Cooperation Framework Agreement’ which fuelled speculation that JD.com was moving towards dedicated freight capacity. JD and Tianjin Air Cargo will be looking closely at how to expand the new service, with further routes planned between Northern and Southern China. Tianjin Air Cargo currently operates three B737Fs – one leased B737-300F and two ex-Suparna Airlines B737-400Fs – but has said it plans to build its fleet up to between 50-100 aircraft within the next few years. “The addition of freight by dedicated cargo aircraft brings the strength of JD’s nationwide logistics network to even greater heights,” says Hui Wang, head of the Express Business Unit at JD Logistics. “We look forward to expanding our relationship with Tianjin Air Cargo in the coming months and we are sure that the resulting expedited delivery speeds will be welcomed by individual consumers as well as the businesses we work with as part of our Retail as a Service strategy.” “This new service sets a new industry milestone,” adds Yi Zhang, chairman & president of Tianjin Air Cargo. “The combination of Tianjin Cargo’s breadth of experience in freight and JD’s expertise in supply chain makes this partnership a force to be reckoned with.“ “As China’s largest retailer, online or offline, JD’s resources across the e-commerce and logistics industry will be of great assistance to our company’s development going forward,” Yi says. The partnership is the latest move by JD to ramp up its abilities to open its technology and infrastructure to other companies and industries, part of its ‘Retail as a Service’, or RaaS, strategy. JD offers a guarantee of same, or next day delivery for 90 per cent of orders and taps a wide variety of delivery methods to get goods to customers in that time, including drones, freight trains, unmanned delivery vehicles and high-speed rail.

Investigation of Diode Lasers for On-Aircraft Decoating ApplicationsEPA Contract Number: 68D00243 Title: Investigation of Diode Lasers for On-Aircraft Decoating Applications Investigators: Lancaster, Frederick A. Small Business: LANCORP Advanced Systems Inc. EPA Contact: Manager, SBIR Program Project Period: September 1, 2000 through March 1, 2001 Project Amount: $68,769 RFA: Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) - Phase I (2000) RFA Text | Recipients Lists Research Category: SBIR - Pollution Prevention , Pollution Prevention/Sustainable Development , Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Description:The Phase I objective is to investigate and develop the automated capability for closed- cycle depainting of commercial aircraft using semiconductor diode laser technology. This will aid in the aviation maintenance industry's compliance to the Aerospace National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) guidelines set forth in the Clean Air Act by developing and implementing a coating removal technology that removes and recovers only the coating without the aid of other ancillary media or chemicals. Depainting waste is one of the largest waste streams from commercial aircraft maintenance. Current alternative media or chemical stripping technologies have not reduced the amount of waste. LANCORP's unique solution to this problem is to develop and build a mobile closed-loop diode laser stripping system for use on commercial aircraft that will be able to partially or completely remove the coating with a waste reduction of more than 90 percent when compared to current methods. This innovative effort will build on previous testing preformed by LANCORP with diode laser depainting, vacuum recovery, and mobile manipulation technology. This will be accomplished by performing specific aerospace approved testing to gain original equipment manufacturer (OEM) approval for the use of this technology on commercial aerospace structures. Testing has shown that diode lasers have the ability of total and partial stripping of organic coatings from metallic, composite, and fiberglass surfaces, but at a considerably lower cost than other types of lasers and methods. This technology has been shown to be totally recoverable and the only controllable and nondamaging method to decoat advanced composite surfaces. Unlike other alternative methods, closed-loop laser decoating will eliminate subsequent priming and cleaning operations in airline maintenance, thereby decreasing waste and emissions output and decreasing maintenance operations costs. This Phase I project will aid in determining the proper decoating parameters, the makeup of the waste stream and effluent, and the system energy consumption. To accomplish this, controlled decoating tests on aerospace specification-approved coated test panels, and effluent and waste stream sampling will be performed in a laboratory environment. The results from Phase I and Phase II will conclude with a specific aircraft OEM-approved design for a full-scale mobile system based on LANCORP's current concept for a mobile laser depainting and cleaning system for aircraft fuselages and surfaces. Phase II will start the transitioning of closed-loop laser depainting technology to commercial aircraft maintenance facilities for depainting large and medium aircraft, as well as to the military air maintenance facilities and for companies involved in lead paint and paint removal from large steel structures.

WASHINGTON — The best way to defend the United States from a cruise missile attack may be to focus on where adversaries are keeping the ships and aircraft that could fire such a weapon and not take a broader approach to counter any possibility, the vice chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff said Feb. 23. The U.S. has yet to reach a conclusion in the long-term debate on how to defend the U.S. homeland from cruise missiles, but Gen. John Hyten, the Pentagon’s no. 2 officer, said the focus needs to not be entirely on defeating cruise missiles in the terminal phase, which is the tail end of a missile’s trajectory to a target. “If you look at the cruise missile problem from the terminal phase, that basically means you have to build giant point defense radars or some kind of aerial defense radar because even a Low-Earth Orbit satellite has a difficult time seeing most cruise missiles,” Hyten said during a Center for Strategic and International Studies event focused on missile defense. “You have the ability to see some and we should make sure we explore that and understand that piece, but to deal with the cruise missile threat, the first sensor, first critical sensor piece of the puzzle is the platform sensor because the cruise missile is launched from that platform.” With the exception of a possible nuclear-powered cruise missile, the weapon has to be launched from a platform that needs to come relatively close to the target, Hyten explained. This could be a platform such as a submarine, ship or aircraft. “The key piece of that is to have a clear understanding of where the platforms are that could threaten the United States with cruise missiles,” he said. “You understand where the platforms are, again, you effectively respond and effectively deter and message your adversary when you see a platform approach an area that is threatening the United States.” This approach is commonly referred to as “left of launch,” meaning the focus is to take out a missile’s launcher before it has a chance to be shot rather than shooting the missile on its journey to a target. The next step, Hyten said, would be to figure out how to defend critical infrastructure from such attacks. This means determining what critical elements need defending and then deciding on a point defense architecture “because you can’t put a point defense architecture around everything in the United States. It’s impossible.” A Congressional Budget Office report released earlier this month, which looked at the threat of cruise missiles to the U.S. homeland and examined possible architectures for a nationwide defense, determined that the threat could be defeated using available technology, but it would be expensive if the strategy was to employ a wide-area defense. CBO determined that buying systems that the military uses — a mix of airborne or space-based radars, surface-to-air missiles and fighter aircraft —would cost around $75 billion to $180 billion to purchase and operate over a 20-year period. The report noted that fielding “additional regional or local defenses to protect Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories would add to the cost.” Additionally, the report noted it would be complicated to run defense systems in the homeland due to heavy civilian aircraft traffic as it would take longer to positively identify and engage threats. The window to respond is already relatively limited due to the shorter range of cruise missiles when compared to ballistic missiles and there is an increased challenge to detect and identify, through a variety of clutter, stealthy cruise missiles, which are by nature more difficult for radar to spot. The report also notes that while cruise missile capabilities exist, adversaries have many “attractive” alternatives to using them, such as less expensive or more damaging options. “Decision makers would need to consider whether the cost of a wide-area cruise missile defense was proportionate to the overall risk posed by [Land-Attack Cruise Missiles],” the report read. CBO considered four primary architectures to defend the United States against cruise missiles including using radar on High-Altitude, Long-Endurance Unmanned Air Vehicles (HALE-UAVs), modified commercial aircraft and aerostats as well as spaced-based sensors. HALE-UAVs would likely cost $77 to $98 billion over 20 years while space-based radar would cost roughly $106 to $179 billion. On the increasingly expensive side, modified commercial aircraft would cost an estimated $187 to $246 billion. Aerostats could potentially be the most expensive — and was something the U.S. Army pursued recently until the program was killed in 2017 — at $98 to $466 billion. The Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System — or JLENS for short — was canceled after one of the tethered aerostats escaped its mooring at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and lumbered through the skies across Maryland and Pennsylvania until settling down in a wooded glen where Pennsylvania state troopers were ordered to open fire on the system to get it to deflate. The Army had procured just two systems from Raytheon before cutting the program short and ending one of the few cruise missile defense programs in the works. The service has procured two Iron Dome systems from Israeli defense company Rafael that will be used as deployable cruise missile defense systems on an interim basis. It is also developing an enduring cruise missile defense capability for point defense as part of a larger program focused on defense against drones and rockets, artillery and mortars as well as cruise missiles.

UGR – FAA Recurrent Remote Pilot Exam Preparation Udemy Friends, this time we are going to share an excellent option to perfect your professional skills. UGR – FAA Recurrent Remote Pilot Exam Preparation by Tim Trott is the most sought after course by users and one of the most popular on Udemy, the best online course platform. About the author Tim Trott I’m Tim Trott, “the Drone Professor”. Udemy UGR – FAA Recurrent Remote Pilot Exam Preparation course description I am a 107 certified drone pilot, like you. There are many drone study courses taught by CFIs (Cerfified Flight Instructors) and experienced pilots. They have good courses, but CFI’s and Part 61 pilots take their drone test online. They don’t see the exam that we do. I teach from YOUR level, in terms YOU understand and relate to, because that’s how I had to learn it. I know what you need to know about as a drone operator. I teach understanding . Understanding is the key to knowledge, and knowledge is the foundation of safety. I’m certified as an instructor for public safety by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and I passed the FAA’s Fundamentals of Instruction as well. I also passed the student pilot Ground School exam. Because of my unique background, and the way I write my courses, my students are prepared to score better on FAA exams. Your goal is to understand what you need to know to pass the FAA exam. I will help you achieve that goal. That being said, 14 CFR Part 107.73 section (b) specifies the knowledge areas that will be required to pass the recurrent FAA exam for Remote Pilots (UGR). The exam will contain 40 questions, rather than the 60 questions in the initial certification test, with 90 minutes to complete the exam this time, at an authorized testing facility (PRI/CATS). Authorization for the UGR test: Requires NO instructor endorsement or other form of written authorization. Acceptable form of authorization for the UGR test: Remote Pilot Certificate with a Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) rating. The seven areas of material for the UGR exam are: (1) Applicable regulations relating to small unmanned aircraft system rating privileges, limitations, and flight operation; (2) Airspace classification and operating requirements and flight restrictions affecting small unmanned aircraft operation; (3) Emergency procedures; (4) Crew resource management; (5) Aeronautical decision-making and judgment; (6) Airport operations; (7) Maintenance and pre-flight inspection procedures. While this new course is designed to prepare Certified Remote Pilots for the Recurrent Certification (UGR) test, this course is not represented as official FAA Training (there aren’t any), and the FAA does not provide actual test answers to instructors. The material presented in my course comes from FAA publications. Since you have already earned your remote pilot certification, this course should serve as a review. If you need to dig deeper into a particular area you may be weak on, we would refer you to the Pilot’s Handbook, our original video training course or my UAS 107 Operator Ground School Study Guild e-Book available at Amazon. If you have the report from when you took your initial certification test, look for the PLT numbers listed. Those codes tell you what you need to study most. You can reference the PLT codes here: This training course is based on information from the FAA’s Airman Certification Standards, uas_acs-10A (revised 6/18), the Remote Pilot Study Guide and the indicated publicly available resources. UGR – FAA Recurrent Remote Pilot Exam Preparation Info: - Author: Tim Trott - Language: English - Category: Teaching & Academics - Status: Available - Platform: Udemy - Ranking: 3.6 points. What is included in this Udemy course? You will be prepared to pass the 40 questions on the FAA UGR exam. What do I need to do this course?

EUMETSAT decommissions Meteosat-7 after almost 20 years of service Today, EUMETSAT decommissioned Meteosat-7, the last first generation of Meteosat geostationary spacecraft, after almost 20 years of service. 22 October 2020 11 April 2017 The final command was sent at 09:00 UTC, ending the exceptional service record not only of one spacecraft but of the whole Meteosat first generation mission started by ESA in 1977. During the past four decades, the series of seven successive Meteosat first generation satellites established the foundations for the products and services EUMETSAT delivers today from the geostationary orbit in support of nowcasting of high impact weather and built up an archive of over 36 years of observations, an invaluable asset for climate change monitoring. The mission also supported large scale international research programmes, in particular the Mesoscale Alpine Programme and the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) investigating the impacts of natural and anthropogenic aerosols on regional and global climate. "This last manoeuvre puts a safe end to a foundational programme" Over the last ten years, Meteosat-7 has been delivering observations of the Indian Ocean from geostationary orbit. This heritage mission has been provided by Meteosat First Generation satellites ever since 1998. After the December-2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Meteosat-7 became an essential part of the Tsunami warning system, acting as a relay spacecraft for the Tsunami warning buoys that were put in place. EUMETSAT’s Director-General, Alain Ratier, said: “This last manoeuvre puts a safe end to a foundational programme. Not only did the successful Meteosat first generation mission give birth to EUMETSAT in 1986 and made it a true satellite operator in 1995, but it shaped satellite meteorology in Europe, testing concepts such as rapid scanning of thunderstorms and extraction of wind vector products from the tracking of water vapour patterns across successive images.” Meteosat-7 (launched on 2 September 1997) was developed under the Meteosat Transition Programme (MTP). It was designed to fill the gap between the Meteosat Operational Programme (encompassing Meteosat-4 to -6) and the first satellite of the second generation, Meteosat-8 (launched on 28 August 2002). The satellite provided the prime 0 degrees longitude Full Earth Scan Service as of 3 June 1998 until it was replaced by Meteosat-8 on 16 May 2006. On 11 July 2006, EUMETSAT moved Meteosat-7 to the Indian Ocean, where it provided the so-called Indian Ocean Data Coverage (IODC) Service from 57.5° East from 5 December 2006 until 31 March 2017 to bridge an important observational gap over the region. Meteosat-7 has been replaced by Meteosat-8, the first Meteosat second generation satellite, at 41.5° East, as EUMETSAT’s best effort contribution to a multi-partner Indian Ocean observation system involving also geostationary satellites of India, Russia and China.

NTT DoCoMo Ventures invests in Skydio, Inc. Via NTT press room Jul 15, 2020 NTT DOCOMO Ventures, Inc. (headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO, Takayuki Inagawa; hereinafter “NDV”), through a fund it operates, has invested in Skydio, Inc. (headquartered in Redwood City, California, USA; CEO and Co-founder, Adam Bry; hereinafter “Skydio”), a company developing autonomous drones leveraging AI technologies. The drone market has been expanding in enterprise industries such as inspection, agriculture, aerial photography, and logistics as well as in the consumer space, and the market is expected to continue to grow. New technologies can help solve challenges with drone operations and help accelerate growth. For example, one key challenge for manually operated drones is that drone pilots need to master flight operation to avoid accidents and this requires deep expertise and training time. New automation technology can ease the burden and improve drone operations dramatically. Skydio is developing drones based on the founders’ 10+ years’ experience pioneering autonomous flight. The company commercialized a new drone “Skydio 2” in the winter 2019. Cameras on the drone combined with world leading computer vision technology enable it to understand a 360 degree view of its environment in real time while flying. These technologies are at the core of Skydio’s autonomy engine which enables the drone to autonomously follow a specified subject avoiding obstacles; it can also avoid collisions even when manually operated. The drone can also safely fly inside a GPS-denied areas (inside buildings for example) using the camera-based technologies. NDV believes that drones with advanced autonomous flight and obstacle avoidance technologies are crucial to accelerate the drone market expansion. The importance of easy, autonomous drone operation and the strength of Skydio’s team and technology are two reasons behind the investment by NDV. The investment and partnership will contribute to Skydio’s market development and international growth, and NDV continues to focus on technologies which contribute to the drone market expansion in various industries.

Gemini Jets 1:400 Airbus A380-800: Emirate Airlines (Year Of Tolerance Livery) Type a description for this product here... The Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner, a wide-body aircraft manufactured by Airbus. Airbus studies started in 1988 and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long haul market. The A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5 billion ($10.7 billion) A380 programme on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. Difficulties in electrical wiring caused a two-year delay and the development cost ballooned to €18 billion. It obtained its EASA and FAA type certificates on 12 December 2006. It was first delivered to Singapore Airlines on 15 October 2007 and entered service on 25 October. Production peaked at 30 per year in 2012 and 2014. However, Airbus concedes that its $25 billion investment for the aircraft cannot be recouped. On 14 February 2019, after Emirates reduced its last orders in favour of the A350 and the A330neo, Airbus announced that A380 production would end by 2021. The full-length double-deck aircraft has a typical seating capacity of 525, though it is certified for up to 853 passengers. It is powered by four Engine Alliance GP7200 or Rolls-Royce Trent 900 turbofans providing a range of 8,000 nmi (14,800 km). As of December 2019, Airbus has received 251 firm orders and delivered 242 aircraft; Emirates is the biggest A380 customer with 123 ordered, of which 115 have been delivered. Nicknamed Superjumbo, the first A380, MSN003 (registered as 9V-SKA), was delivered to Singapore Airlines on 15 October 2007 and entered service on 25 October 2007 with flight number SQ380 between Singapore and Sydney. Passengers bought seats in a charity online auction paying between $560 and $100,380. Two months later, Singapore Airlines CEO Chew Choong Seng stated the A380 was performing better than either the airline or Airbus had anticipated, burning 20% less fuel per seat-mile than the airline's 747-400 fleet. Emirates' Tim Clark claimed that the A380 has better fuel economy at Mach 0.86 than at 0.83, and that its technical dispatch reliability is at 97%, the same as Singapore Airlines. Airbus is committed to reach the industry standard of 98.5%. Emirates was the second airline to receive the A380 and commenced service between Dubai and New York in August 2008. Qantas followed, with flights between Melbourne and Los Angeles in October 2008. By the end of 2008, 890,000 passengers had flown on 2,200 flights. In February 2009, the one millionth passenger was flown with Singapore Airlines and by May of that year 1,500,000 passengers had flown on 4,200 flights. Air France received its first A380 in October 2009. Lufthansa received its first A380 in May 2010. By July 2010, the 31 A380s then in service had transported 6 million passengers on 17,000 flights between 20 international destinations. Airbus delivered the 100th A380 on 14 March 2013 to Malaysia Airlines. In June 2014, over 65 million passengers had flown the A380, and more than 100 million passengers (averaging 375 per flight) by September 2015, with an availability of 98.5%. In 2014, Emirates stated that their A380 fleet had load factors of 90–100%, and that the popularity of the aircraft with its passengers had not decreased in the past year. With four A380s leased to Singapore Airlines having been returned between October 2017 and March 2018, Dr. Peters fears a weak aftermarket and is considering scrapping them, although they are on sale for a business jet conversion, but on the other hand Airbus sees a potential for African airlines and Chinese airlines, Hajj charters and its large Gulf operators. An A380 parted out may be worth $30 million to $50 million if it is at half-life. Teardown specialists have declined offers for several aircraft at part-out prices due to high risk as a secondary market is uncertain with $30 to $40 million for the refurbishment, but should be between $20 to $30 million to be viable. When the aircraft were proposed to BA, Hi Fly and Iran Air, BA did not want to replace its Boeing 747s until 2021, while Iran Air faced political uncertainty and Hi Fly did not have a convincing business case. Consequently, Dr. Peters recommended to its investors on 28 June 2018 to sell the aircraft parts with VAS Aero Services within two years for US$45 million, quickly for components like the landing gear or the APU. Rolls-Royce Trent 900 leasing beyond March 2019 should generate US$480,000 monthly for each aircraft before selling the turbofans by 2020. With a total revenue of US$80 million per aircraft, the overall return expected is 145–155% while 72% and 81% of their debt had already been repaid. The fifth plane coming back from SIA, owned by Doric, has been leased by Hi Fly Malta with a lease period of "nearly 6 years". Hi Fly Malta became the first operator of second-hand A380 (Airbus MSN006, SIA 9V-SKC), which carries the Maltese registration number, 9H-MIP. Norwegian Long Haul briefly leased Hi Fly Malta A380 in August 2018, which operated the aircraft following engine problems with their Dreamliner fleet. Norwegian leased the A380 again in late 2018 to help deal with the passenger backlog as a result of the Gatwick Airport drone incident. Two others returned from Singapore Airlines in the coming weeks (June 2018) but they could stay with an existing Asian A380 flag carrier. The teardown value includes $32–$33 million from the engines in 2020 and $4 million from leasing them until then, while the value of a 2008 A380 would be $78.4 million in 2020 and its monthly lease in 2018 would be $929,000. The two aircraft have returned 3.8–4.2% per year since 2008 but the 145–155% return is lower than the 220% originally forecast. Of the nearly 500 made, 50 747-400s were sold in the secondary market, including only 25 to new customers. These are among the first A380s delivered, lacking the improvements and weight savings of later ones. The first two A380s delivered to Singapore Airlines (Airbus MSN003 and MSN005, SIA 9V-SKA and 9V-SKB) flew to Tarbes, France to be scrapped. Their engines and some components had been dismantled and removed while the livery was painted over in white. As of September 2019, Emirates initiated its A380 retirement plan – which will see the type remain in service until at least 2035 – by retiring two aircraft that were due for a major overhaul, and using them as parts donors for the rest of the fleet. Emirates does not see any demand in the second-hand market, but is indifferent in that the retired aircraft have already been fully written down and thus have no residual value. As further aircraft are retired, Emirates-owned airframes will continue to be used for parts, while leased airframes will be returned to the lessors. Etihad Airways is the second-largest airline in the UAE (after Emirates). Its head office is in Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi, near Abu Dhabi's International Airport. Etihad commenced operations in November 2003. The airline operates more than 1,000 flights per week to over 120 passenger and cargo destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, with a fleet of 102 Airbus and Boeing aircraft as of February 2020. In 2015, Etihad carried 14.8 million passengers, a 22.3% increase from the previous year, delivering revenues of US$9.02 billion and net profits of US$103 million. Its main base is Abu Dhabi International Airport. In addition to its core activity of passenger transportation, Etihad also operates Etihad Holidays and Etihad Cargo. Etihad established its airline alliance, Etihad Airways Partners, in October 2015 which was disbanded in 2018 after several of its members fell into financial difficulties. Etihad Airways holds minority equity investments in the participating airlines, as well as holding a stake in Virgin Australia, which is not officially listed as an Etihad Airways Partner. Booking for these airlines is consolidated under one network.

Remarks: The NSF-NCAR flying laboratory G-V is in Salina for much of the summer of 2012, conducting experiments in conjunction with the "DC3" project, measuring the transport of chemicals throughout the atmosphere in convective cells. The G-V is scheduled to take high-altitude samples, with NASA's DC-8 taking low level samples and a German Aerospace Center (DLR) Falcon 20 taking mid-level readings. Remarks: Not your typical Gulfstream interior. A huge thanks to the crew for letting me on board while they powered up their equipment ready to depart on another leg of their HIPPO Pole-to-Pole research trip Remarks: A very special visitor which had arrived two days before from Easter Island, Chile and seen here heading to Jeffco, Denver on its last leg of the HIPPO 2009 mission. The route was 24,200 nautical miles and took 21 days to complete. [Canon EOS 40D + Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L IS USM]
