We can find articles about facts, figures and events in aviation, but what breathes life into aviation are the people who live it every day. Yesterday I spent most of my day with two gentlemen and had the chance to relive some of the past with them.
Whether it was our friend who took us for that first flight and hooked us on flying airplanes, or simply hanging out at the local airport watching a student doing "crash and dashes", airplanes and flying draw us to want to be around those who share our love of flying.
|Let me introduce you to Jerry, the first of them. In another post I will talk about Harry, whom my wife and I had dinner with last night.
Jerry is Jerry Hollenbeck, a friend and business colleague for many, many years. Jerry is from mid-Michigan, and at a young age decided that he wanted to fly airplanes for a living. So, off he went to Spartan School of Aeronautics to get all of his pilot licenses and ratings. Fresh out of Spartan he took a job as a co-pilot on twin Beech airplanes out of Rochester, NY, flying mail and some scheduled passenger runs around New York state. As he accumulated more experience he moved to Wisconsin where he continued as the Chief Flight Instructor for a VA flight school, continuing to gain flight experience and learning more about how to run a proper fixed base operation. Next he moved back home to Alma, MI, where he went to work for Don Hansen, the owner of Hansen Flying Service. This is where Jerry and I first met. When Don Hansen retired Jerry took over Hansen Flying Service, and along with his lovely wife Melba, ran Hansen Flying Service, becoming one of the largest FBOs in Michigan. At the peak of this business they had 25 employees - 5 A&P mechanics, 15 pilots and 5 office staff! Operating Piper Aztecs and Piper Navajos, Hansen Flying Service provided air transportation to clients throughout the lower peninsula of Michigan for many years. Over the years Hansen Flying Service evolved into a different kind of operation, eventually moving through Piper Cheyenne aircraft to Cessna Citations, managing aircraft for some mid-Michigan auto suppliers. Each step along the way Jerry and Melba managed to eke out a small profit (after salaries) most years, but when Melba passed away the heart of the business died and the operation was sold to Northern Jet in Grand Rapids, MI. After that Jerry did some pilot service work, eventually winding up as Chief Pilot for Patrick Petroleum flying a 1984 Mistubishi Diamond jet, the forerunner of the Beechjet 400A. After 10 years of flying this airplane it is now up for sale, and with the sale of this aircraft it will probably be the conclusion of a long, accident free and excellent flying career for Jerry. We went to Jackson, MI yesterday, where the Diamond is based, charged up the batteries, pushed the airplane out of the hangar, ran the engines and made sure everything worked, then put the aircraft away, turned out the lights and left the hangar. As we chatted about the past, recalling friends and events, a certain sadness came over us as we both recognized the end of an era. No longer do we find vibrant little FBOs at small airports around the state, and as the economy in Michigan continues to deteriorate under a state and federal government that seems to not understand how to fix our economy, more and more aviation flight departments are shuttered and closed. Please share your thoughts about the state of aviation wherever you live by leaving a comment. Oh, and would the last pilot leaving Michigan turn out the lights, please? Until next time keep your wings straight and level Hersch! JetAviator7 This Eagle Ode to a P&W R985 his proud bird saved my life, It came through in a time of strife. Number two flamed when we were heavy, Flaps up, gear up, max power baby! Wise and still coming down... The pacific waited....we�re gonna drown. the left engine held with all it had, I think it was worried. No! I think it was mad! It didn't want to end in shame, couldn't stand to be called "the blame". It gave it's life to get us back, all those long minutes it wouldn't crack. This short ode is just one litany, that God blessed me with a Pratt and Whitney. | aerospace |

Hi and welcome to my 42th, which is about the Thai Alpha Jet after its second overhaul, hope you like it.
First of all:
- This is a suggestion for an aircraft we could see in game at some point in the Future , that doesn´t mean next Patch or somewhere in the near Future
- Feel free to share more Information and / or correct me if something is wrong
- Discuss respectfully, any aggressive kind or verbal abuse will be reported, the Forum rules also apply here
Development of the Alpha Jet began in the 1960s due to the need to move fighter pilot training back into Europe and to develop new aircraft for the air forces of Germany and France. The German Luftwaffe was looking for a successor to the Fiat G.91, while the French Armée de l’Air needed a replacement for the Fouga Magister.
Once the specifications were established, studies were requested from three consortia. Ultimately, Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm/SNIAS and Dassault/Dornier were awarded the contract to develop prototypes, while VFW/Fokker were excluded because their study did not meet official specifications. The engines were manufactured by SNECMA for the French machines and by MTU and Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz for the German machines to ensure an equal development and manufacturing share. In 1972, prototypes of the Alpha Jet were ordered and development progressed.
Series production of the Alpha Jet began in 1975. The Alpha Jet A officially entered service with the Luftwaffe in 1979. After the reunification of Germany, Germany had to reduce the number of its aircraft due to international agreements. In the early 1990s, the Alpha Jet was retired from the Luftwaffe. However, the flight training group in Fürstenfeldbruck continued to operate and used the Alpha Jet A for basic tactical training of prospective Tornado crews until it was decommissioned on June 30, 1997.
In 1999, the Royal Thai Air Force planned to purchase 55 Alpha Jets, but US political pressure resulted in only 25 Alpha Jets being acquired, along with F-16s. The Alpha Jets were overhauled in Germany before being transferred to Thailand.
The Alpha Jets were acquired from the Royal Thai Air Force’s 231st Squadron and based at RTAFB Udon Thani. Most of the Alpha Jets were prepared for flight operations, while six served as spare parts donors. Between 2004 and 2007, all active Alpha Jets were equipped with chaff launchers in the rear, could now also carry AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles and redesignated to Alpha Jet TH.
Starting in 2021, Thailand began to overhaul and modernize the remaining Alpha Jet THs again but more significant than before; the original cockpit, analogue displays and some electronic parts were completely replaced with modern computers and multi-color MFDs and a new mission computer allows better training of the pilots, Thailand’s tactical Link-T is now also onboard.
The Alpha Jet was developed as a light fighter-bomber and weapons trainer and has an important contribution to the training of Thai fighter pilots to this day. Various modernizations have been carried out, like the first overhaul of the Alpha Jet A which enabled the ability to deploy up to four AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. The second overhaul (Phase 2) contains a modernized cockpit with a glass cockpit that includes three color displays and a new Head-Up Display (HUD). The avionics systems are from CMC Electronics Canada, and the cockpit features a HOTAS control stick similar to that of the Lockheed Martin F-16 and upcoming AT-6TH.
As part of the project to improve the capabilities of Alpha Jet TH Phase 2 attack aircraft, 8 sets of pilot ejection chairs and ground support equipment were purchased. The winner of the contract was Martin-Baker Aircraft and the ejector chair procured is believed to be the latest model Martin-Baker Mk.16, similar to those in the F-5TH Super Tigris.
The armament of the Thai Alpha Jet is not particularly different from that of the German original. What stands out however, are Hydra-70 and the ability to use up to four AIM-9P missiles. The BK27 Mauser pods for the Alpha Jet were never acquired by the RTAF. Efforts to mount an M39A2, which came from F-5THs, were unsuccessful as there were problems in the computer systems and weather data.

Starting January 30, 2022, the airplanes began flying from Haneda Airport in Japan. Videos of the jet plane are available to watch on ANA’s official Tiktok account.
Each side of the airplane has different designs. One side features Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, and Inosuke in the midst of battle. The other side features Tanjro in a black and white, calligraphy-style design. ANA originally announced the collaboration in late 2021 and has been teasing the airplane’s full design via social media. In addition to the new hull designs, the planes also sport various Demon Slayer-themed travel goods and assortments during the flight.
If you’d like to see more, the #鬼滅の刃じぇっと Twitter hashtag comes up with posts showing off the airplane’s exterior, interior, and promotional goods.
— ANA Group News (@ANA_Group_News) January 29, 2022
ANA has collaborated with other anime and video game companies in the past. A frequent collaborator is The Pokemon Company, the most popular example being the Pokemon Jet promotional airplanes. The Pokemon airplanes have since been transferred to Japanese regional airlines like Air Do, which continue to operate airplanes featuring designs of Kantonian and Alolan Vulpix.
The Demon Slayer ANA airplane began flights on January 30, 2022. There is no confirmed end date or flight route for the collaboration airplanes. | aerospace |

Non-kinetic physical attacks can be characterized into a few types: electromagnetic pulses, high-powered lasers, and high-powered microwaves. These attacks have medium possible attribution levels and often provide little evidence of success to the attacker.

According to the ones monitoring the test, all went as expected and the airplane proved to be operating as it should.
“Today’s successful flight proves the jet’s safety and readiness to join our nation’s fighter fleet,” said in a statement on February 2 Prat Kumar, Boeing vice president and F-15 program manager.
“Our workforce is excited to build a modern fighter aircraft for the U.S. Air Force. Our customer can feel confident in its decision to invest in this platform that is capable of incorporating the latest advanced battle management systems, sensors and weapons due to the jet’s digital airframe design and open mission systems architecture.”
As per the National Defense Strategy, the U.S. Air Force (USAF) is bound to buy 72 combat aircraft each year. The list of purchases includes the F-15EX, of which Boeing will have to make eight in 2021. More are planned in the year ahead, as the USAF is expecting 144 such machines to be sent their way.
Boeing says the first batch of two improved fighters will be delivered starting later this quarter. | aerospace |

Under a new FAA system called Recat (for “re-categorization”), the new standards refine how aircraft wake turbulence levels are categorized. This makes for significant differences in determining following distances on landing and wait times for aircraft taking off after the aircraft ahead.
The old standards divided aircraft into five categories based primarily on weight. The new program has six categories, based not only on weight, but also on approach speed, wing design and other factors. The new categories are labeled A – F, with A generating the most severe wake turbulence. The Airbus A380 is in the A category, while small jets such as Cessna Citations are listed in the F category.
For example, at Memphis, FedEx MD11s, Boeing 767s and Airbus A320s are all in the C category. As such, inline separation on approach for such aircraft has been reduced from four miles to 2.5 nm. Takeoff wait times are reduced by as much as five minutes, depending on wind and runway conditions, saving time and reducing fuel burn and emissions.
The Recat program resulted from 10 years of study by the FAA, the DOT/Volpe National Transportation System Center, Eurocontrol and private industry. It is expected to be adopted at more airports over the next two years, with an estimated average increase of 7 percent in operational efficiency. | aerospace |

On 27 January 2016, Intelsat 29e, the first of the EpicNG high throughput satellites (HTS), was launched successfully from Kourou in French Guiana aboard an Ariane 5 rocket. Manufactured by Boeing, it is now in geostationary orbit, 35,786km above northern Brazil and serving customers in North and Latin America and the North Atlantic region. It was followed on 24 August by Intelsat 33e, again launched from Kourou on an Ariane 5. It will serve Africa, Europe, the Middle East and Asia from a position north-east of the Seychelles.
Unfortunately, due to a malfunction in the primary thruster used to raise the satellite to the correct orbit, reaching that geostationary position has taken longer than planned and the satellite will be ready for service sometime in the first quarter of 2017. The final satellite in the constellation, Horizon 3e, which is expected to be launched in the second half of 2018, will provide coverage for the Asia-Pacific region from its position north-east of Nauru. This satellite is a joint venture between Intelsat and JSAT of Japan.
There is a mix of wide area and spot beams – depending on the application, wide beams can be used to broadcast video and other content to the aircraft, while spot beams can be used to support two-way, high-speed internet traffic. It is important to provide capacity where it is needed, so the spot beams have been positioned to provide coverage of the airways that aircraft follow on oceanic routes, but this new constellation takes advantage of new technology to deliver a more powerful and more efficient service. Unlike previous generations of Intelsat satellites, which were ‘hardwired’ at time of manufacture – and at launch were fixed in terms of beam connectivity and bandwidth allocation – HTS can be reconfigured from the ground to meet traffic demands and business needs over the life of the satellite. The use of spot beam technology and frequency reuse also boosts capacity, which is expected to be 10 times more throughput than a traditional satellite. In fact, Intelsat 29e and Intelsat 33e have already shown improvements of up to 165% in efficiency, while next-generation hardware has demonstrated potential efficiency gains of up to 330%.
The satellites will be used by a number of industry sectors. For commercial aviation, EpicNG provides links through Ku- and Ka-bands (the satellites also use C-band, which is better suited to ground services) and promises to deliver performance that will give passengers the same connectivity services as they can expect at home.
Given the number of aircraft already equipped with satcoms, an important selling point for Intelsat is that existing equipment will also show improvements, although this will vary between manufacturers. Equally important, the new system has been designed with an open architecture and engineered for backwards compatibility, allowing users to continue with existing hardware. Service providers will also have increased control and so will be able to offer their end-users customised, differentiated solutions, even defining such service characteristics as speed and hardware.
Panasonic Avionics was an early adopter (see box story) but Gogo has also joined the club, signing up in March 2016. It is limited to Ku-band and will use Intelsat 29e on an interim basis until Intelsat 32e comes on stream in 2017, covering the same area. It will also use Intelsat 33e and Horizon 3e to build a worldwide network. System management will be carried out through the IntelsatOne programme, where the satellite provider controls the day-to-day running of the network from its Mountainside, MD, teleport.
Significantly, the Gogo deal is not limited to just HTS. As well as a geostationary network of satellites, it has signed up with OneWeb, which is planning a low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation from 2019. While Intelsat can cover 99% of the world's populated regions, OneWeb satellites are expected to be the first satellites to enable high performance services at high latitudes and on polar flights, where line of sight to a geostationary satellite over the Equator can be compromised or performance drops off. When the network is fully deployed, Gogo will be able to route traffic across the fully global shared network at 10 Tbps, based on coverage, latency (the time delay as the data travels from aircraft to satellite and vice versa), throughput and other performance criteria.
The satellite network is the fixed point but the service providers have different product portfolios and multiple frequency band capability is a definitive asset. Another aviation player is Global Eagle Entertainment (GEE), which concluded an agreement in October 2016. It will use eight satellites in Intelsat’s current infrastructure as well as two Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 35e EpicNG satellites. Overall, GEE has contracted satellite services on three of the seven planned Intelsat EpicNG satellites and 17 Intelsat satellites in total. As GEE provides air, land and sea (including cruise ships and superyachts) connectivity, it will utilise C-band as well as Ku-band.

The three or four-engined white drone was spotted out of the first officer’s window as the jet flew over Kew, West London, at 1,700ft on its approach to Heathrow.
Engineers inspected the Airbus A321 after landing but there was “no tangible evidence of collision”.
A report by near-miss watchdogs the UK Airprox Board stated: “The crew considered that the drone passed close enough that it must have collided with the tail.
“Providence had played a major part in the incident and/or a definite risk of collision had existed.”
The Board put the October scare in the highest category of risk but did not identify the jet involved.
It comes after a drone narrowly missed the wing of a Boeing 737 as it landed at East Midlands Airport, Leics, in October 2016.

The Apollo 8 mission might just be the most important 20th-century event you’ve never heard of. Most people alive today don’t know anything about Apollo 8 mission, but some space historians argue that it was one of the most significant events of the last century—or longer. Apollo 8 marked the first time that any human beings truly “left” Earth. Human spaceflight started in 1961, but it wasn’t until the launch of Apollo 8 seven years later that astronauts were able to leave the Earth behind and power through the cosmos to a new celestial destination: the Moon. Apollo 8 launched from the Kennedy Space Center on December 21, 1968 and reached the Moon three days later. After orbiting the Moon for about 20 hours, the spacecraft left lunar orbit and returned to Earth. The mission itself lasted just six days, but the scale of its significance would leave a lasting impact on humanity which persists to this day.
What’s the farthest you’ve ever traveled? To a relative’s house in a different state? To another country? Maybe you’ve even visited another continent. Throughout history, human beings have traveled quite far, traveling across, over, and around the world in ships, airplanes, and even balloons. But in 1968, three astronauts put all of those efforts to shame by traveling farther than any humans had ever gone before. These astronauts—the crew of Apollo 8—went to the Moon.
You’ve probably heard about the first moon landing, when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first people to set foot somewhere other than Earth. But before they could successfully accomplish their mission, a lot of other astronauts, engineers, and scientists had to work together as a team to show that it was possible. The crew of Apollo 8 piloted their spacecraft in a path (called an orbit) around the moon before returning to Earth. It might sound silly to go all the way to the Moon without stopping, but NASA needed to prove that it was possible to reach the Moon and return and to find places for the future missions to land.
The mission patch for Apollo 8 shows the Earth and the Moon with a red figure 8 looped around them. The last names of the crew are shown on the lower curve of the number. Mission patches often use symbols to show the objectives of the crew, what they hope to accomplish on their voyage. You can see that this patch cleverly uses the number of the mission to show how the crew planned to orbit around the Moon and return to Earth. (Apollo 8’s orbit around the Moon was retrograde as shown in the patch, orbiting in the opposite direction from the way the Moon rotates.) Quite a bit different from the usual Christmas ornament, don’t you think?
Then these three astronauts—Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders—launched towards the moon, they became the first people to ever leave planet Earth. When they looked out the windows, they could see our planet—home to every human being who has ever lived—as a blue and white ball, hanging in space. The astronauts made a telecast back to Earth on Christmas Eve. They shared their impressions of seeing Earth from so far away and seeing the moon up close. Commander Frank Borman called the moon “a vast, lonely, forbidding type of existence.” The crew also read a passage from the Bible as a Christmas message “for all the people on Earth.”
What the crew of Apollo 8 saw changed the way they thought of our home planet forever. Thanks to their television broadcast, it also changed the way that people on Earth thought of their planet, as well. Can you imagine seeing the whole Earth all at once, like a life-sized globe?
Apollo 8 was the second crewed mission of the Apollo program. The commander of the mission, Frank Borman and crew member Jim Lovell had already been in space. Borman and Lovell spent almost two weeks in a small spacecraft during the Gemini 7 mission. For the third crew member, Bill Anders, this was his first trip into space; he had been a backup crew member during the Gemini 11 mission but had not flown on the mission itself. The crew was able to meet all of their mission objectives. These objectives including testing out how the crew, the command and service module, and the support facilities would work together. The crew also had to go through many of the steps that would be carried out for a lunar landing–except the landing itself. (The Lunar Module had not been built yet.) NASA could learn more about what worked well and any changes that needed to be made for future missions to land safely on the moon and return home.
One of the systems that performed very well during the mission was the communications equipment. The crew made six telecasts that were transmitted live all around the world. Two transmissions were made on the way to the moon (translunar coast), two were made while orbiting the moon (lunar orbit), and two were made on the way back to Earth (trans-Earth coast). Everyone was pleased with the excellent quality of the telecasts, as well as with the voice communications throughout the mission. The only time the astronauts were out of touch with the Earth was during the times in which their craft was behind the moon and transmission was blocked by the bulk of the moon. These three astronauts were the first humans to ever see the far side of the moon–which also made them the first to ever see the Earth “rise” from beyond another body in space.
Two of the most profound events of the Apollo 8 mission had nothing to do with science or engineering. One was the crew witnessing, for the first time in human history, the Earth rising behind the edge of another celestial body. They realized just how ground-breaking an event this was and grabbed a camera to photograph it. The first photograph was taken with black-and-white film and then they took a picture with color film.
The photographs they took, called “Earthrise,” became some of the best-known pictures from the Apollo program. They showed for the first time the Earth as a small globe in the vastness of space. One of the astronauts, James Lovell, said “The vast loneliness is awe-inspiring and it makes you realize just what you have back there on Earth.”
The second event was the Christmas broadcast of the crew back to Earth from lunar orbit. While American astronauts had been going into space for several years, none had ever been in space over Christmas Day. This was an important enough event that the crew had prepared a Christmas message to be broadcast from lunar orbit. They had been told that more people would be listening to them than had ever listened to anybody speak and were also told to “do something appropriate.” During the public broadcast on December 24, Christmas Eve, astronaut Bill Anders announced that the crew had a message to give to “for all the people back on Earth.” The mission commander, Frank Borman, had selected a reading from the first part of the story of the world’s creation from the first chapter of Genesis. The astronauts took turns reading and then Borman concluded with “good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas – and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.”
By going to another celestial body and leaving the Earth behind, the astronauts had given people a new way of looking at our home planet and therefore ourselves. As Bill Anders put it after the mission, “We came all this way to discover the Moon. And what we really did discover is Earth.”
Apollo 8 was the first spacecraft that took people beyond the direct influence of the Earth’s gravity. That may sound like a technicality, but it was a tremendously significant achievement and one which was fraught with risk. Before this mission, if something went dreadfully wrong, at least the astronauts would return to Earth even if they did not survive the trip (as the Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov had died on Soyuz 1); on Apollo 8, if something went dreadfully wrong the crew would likely not come back at all. In particular, the four-minute rocket motor burn that put the capsule into lunar orbit was a critical point: if the rocket had failed to burn or had not burned long enough, the astronauts would have been flung into some random orbit in near-lunar space; if it had burned for too long, they would have crashed onto the lunar surface. In between those extremes, there was any number of elliptical orbits around the Moon that would have spelled trouble for the mission. In the same way, when it came time to leave lunar orbit to return to the Earth, if the rocket motor had failed to ignite the three astronauts would never have returned home—at least not until another mission years later could be sent to return their bodies. It is no surprise that the crew described the rocket motor burn that put the capsule into lunar orbit as “the longest four minutes of their lives.” In fact, NASA officials and even the astronauts themselves estimated that they had only a roughly 50-50 chance of successfully accomplishing their mission and returning safely to Earth.
The Wikipedia article on Apollo 8 states that the Apollo 8 spacecraft orbited the Moon ten times over a period of about 20 hours. While the number of orbits is approximately correct, it cannot be exactly true because the spacecraft entered lunar orbit on the leading side of the Moon and left lunar orbit on the trailing side of the Moon. (Can your students figure out why without being told?)
This means that it went around the Moon either 9.5 times or 10.5 times. How would you figure out which number of orbits it was? The article also says that each orbit (after the first one, which with its higher apolune—like apogee but above the Moon—would have taken more time) took 128.7 minutes. From this you can calculate whether Apollo 8 went around the Moon 9.5 or 10.5 times.

The club is headed by Mikhail Kozmin - a professional pilot involved in light aviation for many years, the world champion in the class of "Paragliders". Deputy head of the club - pilot instructor Vladimir Filippov, lead aerial photography director.
A hundred years ago a flying man was a miracle of miracles - the whole city came to take a look at the flights of aviators (the word “pilot” did not exist then) . Today, no one will be surprised by a man in the sky, except perhaps someone who himself decided to climb to the clouds. There are many ways to do this. In Paraglider you can fly on a balloon, hang-glider, paraglider or even an autogyro - a rotorcraft mechanism resembling a disassembled helicopter. Special physical training and equipment for the flight is not required - just enough to dress for the weather. For most vehicles, the cabin is open, but in summer it is warm and comfortable in flight, and in winter the organizers will give you a warm jumpsuit. The flight can be introductory, route or even extreme - at your request, the instructor will perform several aerobatic figures. A very unique experience is group flight, when you are flying on one aircraft, and someone from your company is on the second. You can fly in parallel, having touched the wings of the paralettes and, having stopped the engines, to exchange impressions.
Address: Moscow region, Dmitrovsky urban district, Batyushkovo village.
Prices: A standard flight on a paraglider, a delta fighter, an autogyro, a plane – 3000 rubles per 15 minutes. Aviation audio tour of the historical places of the Dmitrovsky district – 4000 rubles per 20 minutes. The flight on a paralet or a delta flight with the ability to control it in the air will cost the same amount.

The Avro Anson was a British twin-engine, multi-role aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force, Fleet Air Arm and numerous other air forces during the Second World War and afterwards. Named for British admiral George Anson, it was originally designed for maritime reconnaissance, but was soon rendered obsolete. However it was rescued from obscurity by its suitability as a multi-engine air crew trainer, becoming the mainstay of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. By the end of its production life in 1952, the Anson spanned nine variants and a total of 8,138 had been built in Britain by Avro and, from 1941, a further 2,882 by the Canadian Federal Aircraft Ltd. The Anson was derived from the commercial six-seat 652 and the militarised version, which first flew on 24 March 1935, was built to Air Ministry Specification 18/35. It was the first RAF monoplane with a retractable undercarriage. Avro allotted the type number 652A to the Anson. | aerospace |

VietJet Air Confirms New Aircraft Amid Third Quarter Success
Vietnam’s low-cost carrier, VietJet Air, has announced its third-quarter financial statement, revealing air transport revenues and profit before taxes were VDN 10,415 billion ($448 million USD) and VDN 1,310 billion ($56 million USD), respectively. The figures showed an increase of 17 percent year-on-year with average load factors around 88 percent.
The reports also showed ancillary revenue has reached 28.3 percent of the total revenue. The carrier mentioned that maximizing ancillary revenue is a key success of an airline because of its over 90 percent profit margin. According to the carrier, VietJet Air was ranked the 12th in terms of ancillary revenue to total air transport revenue ratio.
Vietnam is one of the fastest-growing aviation markets. In response to a huge demand in the country, VietJet Air has announced the purchase of 15 Airbus A321XLR and five A321neo aircraft with the first aircraft of the new order is expected to be delivered in 2023. The carrier has ordered a total of 186 A320 family aircraft including the new order and 60 aircraft have been delivered thus far.
VietJet President & CEO Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao said, “Following the signing of this contract, the new A321XLR will be the perfect upgrade to VietJet Air’s fleet as we look to grow our international flight network.”
The A321XLR allows VietJet Air to provide longer services, such as to Australia and Russia, with lower fuel consumption.
“This order is another endorsement of our decision to bring true long-range capability to the single-aisle market with the A321XLR, enabling to extend their networks at the lowest possible cost,” Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury said.
In addition to its large order, the low-cost airline also confirmed a new training agreement with Airbus Services. Airbus will place A320 family full-motion flight simulators in Ho Chi Minh City and provide a range of training services to the airline.

The Air Force Chief spoke about the list of aircraft that the Air Force was planning to induct which included 36 Rafales, 114 Multirole Fighter Aircraft, 100 Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) and over 200 variants of the Light Combat Aircraft.
While speaking to news agency ANI, Bhadauria added that the induction of these fighters would take place over a period of the next 35 years. This comes a few months after the Indian Air Force faced a shortage of around 10 squadrons of Combat Aircraft in view of phasing out of the MiG-21 and MiG-27 fighters planes. In the next 15 years, 83 LCAs are Indian Air Force primary focus, after that LCA Mark 2 will come in, that makes it near 200 of LCA class. In the trainer aircraft segment, we are looking at 70 HTT-40 as a support aircraft to the Pilatus fleet.
Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria has succeeded Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa to become the 26th chief of the Indian Air Force. BS Dhanoa retired on September 30 2019, after 41 years of stellar service. He was the chief of the IAF during the Balakot airstrikes. The Apache choppers received a water cannon salute, before induction at the Pathankot Air Base. This will be its first fleet of attack choppers. By 2020, the IAF will operate a fleet of 22 Apaches. | aerospace |

“We’re making steady progress on the path to certification for our 737 MAX software update, thanks to the work of our Boeing pilots, engineers and technical experts,” Muilenburg said in a video posted on Twitter on Wednesday.
In the video, where he is standing in front of a 737 MAX plane at Boeing Field in Seattle, the CEO said the company carried out flight test of the updated software with its technical and engineering leaders on board the airplane on Tuesday.
“That was the final test flight prior to the certification flight,” he said.
Boeing’s test pilots, he said had conducted 120 flights, amounting to 203 hours of airtime, with the anti-stall software fix for the Manoeuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS).
Muilenburg also said he participated earlier on Wednesday in another demonstration flight and witnessed this software’s operating in its final form as designed across a range of flight conditions.
“Around the world more than 85 per cent of our 50-plus MAX customers and operators have now experienced the new software through a series of simulator sessions,” said the Boeing CEO.
Boeing is working desperately on the software update of MCAS of 737 MAX aircraft, one of which crashed in October 2018 and other in March this year, killing 346 people on board.
Investigators have zeroed in on the MCAS flight control system as a possible factor behind the two tragedies. Many countries, including the US, grounded the aircraft after the March crash. | aerospace |

ParkZone RC model planes set the standard for micro flight
RC modelers have worked long and hard to build practical micro electric radio control model airplanes. The demands of this unique realm of RC flight include small size, light weight and tiny electric motors. Until recently the radio gear was simply too large and heavy for practical indoor RC flight.
Happily, the engineering team at ParkZone recently introduced a line a ready to fly RC aircraft and micro helicopters that will completely meet the needs of any RC pilot.
These remarkable little models come ready to fly right out of the box. The ParkZone line of model planes includes extremely small and light weight electronics that provide full proportional control on the interference-free 2.4 GHz frequency band. The latest versions include Spektrum radio DSM2 Bind-N-Fly radio technology.
In short, with ready to fly models there is no need for the precise building skills needed to construct a successful micro model plane. The ParkZone planes come with all the internal electronic controls installed and connected to the control surfaces.
The geared electric motor is mounted and at the proper down thrust angle. The airplane is even balanced at the correct center of gravity location. All one needs to do is charge the model with the supplied lipo battery charger and then go fly. It simply cannot get any easier to fly an RC model airplane.
The first ParkZone airplane to be offered was the Cessna 210. The C-210 is made of lightweight foam and uses a three channel proportional control radio system for elevator, rudder and throttle control.
The Cessna 210 looks just like its full scale counterpart to include the top mounted wing and distinctive fuselage shape. The Cessna’s wing has a very precise camber built in that provides for smooth flight characteristics.
All ParkZone airplanes come in at a very low weight, and the Cessna 210 is no exception at 18 grams. It would be difficult for any modeler to produce a model like this on their own, meeting the stringent weight, wing shape and precise control linkages necessary for a well flying model.
The success of the Cessna 210 was rapidly followed by the Ember. The Ember is a three channel design, just like the Cessna 210. The Ember weighs about the same as the Cessna but has a larger wing area and greater dihedral for an easy to fly model with gentle handling characteristics.
The Ember would be an ideal trainer for anyone learning how to fly an RC model airplane. Like all ParkZone airplanes the Ember just needs its flight battery charged with the supplied charger and you are ready to take to the skies.
RC pilots are always looking for the next “new thing”. The ParkZone team did just this with the fully aerobatic, four channel RTF Sukhoi aerobatic plane.
The Sukhoi uses the same design philosophy as their other models with precisely shaped foam parts and pre- installed light weight electronics.
The addition of a fourth channel for full aileron controls makes for all the difference to the aspiring 3D acrobatic pilot. You can now practice your maneuvers at home on your computer simulator and then try the same stunts in flight at the local gym.
For the scale enthusiast, the ParkZone P-51D Mustang is a faithful replica of the famous World War II fighter. The Mustang even flies like a WW-II fighter with fast swooping turns and maneuvers.
The Mustang is a great complement to the other ParkZone airplanes and will need a bit more flying space due to its fighter heritage of a higher airspeed.
You can purchase any ParkZone micro ready to fly model plane and be completely confident you are acquiring a great flying machine.
All ParkZone products are extremely well designed and built, and will literally fly right out of the box. Get a few for your personal hangar. You and your flying friends simply cannot go wrong with these winning RC model airplanes.

The antenna performance is superior to most in use today in private aircraft. The only requirement for max. Performance is that the antennas must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions. These antennas are designed to be installed inside fiberglass or other non-conductive wing tips or tail caps of metal or other conductive material aircraft.
This com antenna is designed to be installed on the inside surface of the aft fuselage of composite and wood aircraft. It is a dipole that is folded up to minimize the vertical dimension and requires 12" of fore and aft space and 26.5" vertically. It is designed with flexibility so it can match the internal curvature of the fuselage. The VSWR is less than 2:1 across the com frequency band.

It has a shorter range than previously announced.
After Eviation unveiled the prototype of its Alice aircraft back in 2017, the company attracted a lot of attention and comparison with Tesla because the aircraft was amongst the first all-electric plane that was viable for actual commercial use.
It boasted a range of up to 600 miles (965 km) and a capacity of up to nine passengers, making it viable for some short-haul regional airlines.
Now, a few years later, Eviation is unveiling the production version of the Alice electric aircraft with a few more details:
“Alice, a nine-passenger, two-crew member aircraft, produces no carbon emissions, significantly reduces noise, and costs a fraction to operate per flight hour. The aircraft is powered by two magni650 electric propulsion units from magniX, the only flight proven electric propulsion systems at this scale. The advanced fly-by-wire system is made by Honeywell, the market leader in such systems. The single-volume, high-energy density Alice battery system is made from currently available battery cells and is not reliant on future advancements. These proven technologies and design elements make it easy and reliable for pilots to seamlessly transition to flying the Alice and will create a superior passenger flying experience, accelerating the aircraft’s path to market.”
Here’s a render of the updated version, which notably features a wider fuselage than the prototype:
Thankfully, we are not just talking about renders here as the Israel-based company does have a prototype of the aircraft, which they plan to fly for the first time later this year:
The bad news is that the aircraft had its performance downgraded with the production version as Eviation is now only talking about a range of 440 nautical miles.
Here’s the full spec sheet of the electric aircraft:
Despite the range downgrade, the aircraft could still prove useful on some routes thanks to its much lower operation cost due to fuel savings.
Again, Eviation is planning to hold an inaugural flight later this year, but the certification process is going to take a while, and Alice is not expected to go into service until 2024.
It still could become one of the first all-electric planes in commercial operation.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has revealed having his own design for a VTOL electric plane, says that such a system becomes possible once battery energy density reaches over 400 Wh/kg, while his Tesla vehicles are believed to be currently powered by battery cells with 250 to 300 Wh/kg.
Battery technology is improving at a rapid pace, and many prototype battery cells have claimed to have reached the 400 Wh/kg barrier.
However, bringing those cells to volume production is the hard part.

One of the success stories of the last few years in space industry is SpaceX, which persevered through early failures to fly their small Falcon 1 and medium-lift Falcon 9. Their Dragon reusable capsule is slated to become the first private vehicle to dock with the International Space Station. The firm founded by Internet zillionare Elon Musk has slipped that launch date several times. Now it looks like May 7. Their press release: "After reviewing our recent progress, it was clear that we needed more time to finish hardware-in-the-loop testing and properly review and follow up on all data. While it is still possible that we could launch on May 3rd, it would be wise to add a few more days of margin in case things take longer than expected. As a result, our launch is likely to be pushed back by one week, pending coordination with NASA."

The Delft Space Institute is taking significant steps towards lunar exploration by investing 200K Euros into the Moonshot program; an initiative that seeks to advance science and technology solutions for lunar surface missions. Researchers and students from diverse faculties will join forces to pursue this shared goal.
The global interest in lunar exploration is growing, evident from India's recent launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, and the US-led Artemis accords gaining 27 signatory countries. By launching the Moonshot program, TU Delft gathers some of its brightest researchers to tackle this challenge and position the Netherlands as a (key) player in lunar exploration. The Moonshot program, led by Assistant Professor Dr. Raj Thilak Rajan, presently comprises of four work packages each of which address a unique use case for lunar scientific exploration.

The project is set to start in July 2023, aiming to enhance the technology readiness levels of four Lunar payloads. These payloads draw from the expertise of TU Delft’s researchers from various faculties, including LOUPE (Lunar Observatory for Unresolved Polarimetry of Earth), Radiation sensing, Autonomous sensing, and Relative Position Navigation and Timing (PNT) of swarms. The respective work packages are under the guidance of Dr. Daphne Stam, Dr. Alessandra Meniccuci, Dr. Fabio Sebastiano, and Dr. Raj Thilak Rajan.
The project leverages the research diversity within TU Delft and aims to bring together multiple faculties in its endeavor to literally aim for the Moon. “The relevance of the Moonshot program is that it shows the incredible power of collaboration between students from different faculties. It inspires both faculty and students to pursue goals for which the sky is not the limit. The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering is proud to support this endeavor”, stated Henri Werij, Dean of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft.
First Dutch rover on the moon
The scientific payloads developed through the Moonshot program may find their way aboard the Lunar Zebro. The Zebro is a miniature swarm rover, developed in-house at TU Delft, with the mission of becoming the first Dutch and European rover on the Moon. Initially, the Lunar Zebro will focus on mapping the Moon's radiation environment, a crucial field of study in the context of the global race to put humans back on to the Moon. In the future, these Zebros will organize into a swarm and be utilized for multiple use cases. | aerospace |

Four aeromedical evacuation technicians from the 445th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron stepped up to provide critical support to the active duty U. S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine program, Sept. 14-16, 2020, helping ensure that mandatory training for new AET’s could continue as scheduled. The AE Airmen provided more than 30 hours of training.
The 445th Airlift Wing provides some routine equipment support to USAFSAM, which is a required follow-on training course for all new active duty, and many Reserve, flight nurses and flight medics before they can become fully qualified to fly AE missions.
“For the past couple of years, we have provided a C-17 aircraft for schoolhouse use about once a quarter,” said Col. Jay Smeltzer, commander, 445th Maintenance Group. “When they have a class getting ready to graduate, we take a plane over by their schoolhouse and ensure it is ready for their check flights.”
The aeromedical evacuation initial qualification course is approximately one month long.
“During the first portion of the schoolhouse, the emphasis is on the academic side of things. There are aspects of the job which can be taught through static training missions with model airframes,” said Master Sgt. Joseph Valenzuela, aeromedical evacuation examiner, 445th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron.
The schoolhouse, based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio since 2013, has technologically-advanced model fuselages which very closely mirror real-world equipment and are useful in mock training missions, Valenzuela explained.
“Ground training provides opportunities to practice some of those skills,” he said, “but to become fully qualified in this career field, you have to get off the ground.”
To complicate matters, the in-flight portion of the training requires a 1:1 ratio of students to cadre.
“Every student has to have an instructor with them while we’re up in the air,” said Master Sgt. Nathan Hutchison, NCO in charge of aircrew training, 445th AES.
Hutchison has augmented the AE schoolhouse in the past, serving as a temporary instructor for more than a year, along with several other 445th AES members, when there was a cadre shortfall.
“Sometimes we can offer new insight or different perspectives, simply because of our real-world experience,” Hutchison said.
He joined the 445th AES in 2002, has flown nearly 1,500 hours, and has dealt with three in-flight emergencies to date.
During the check rides, the students practice setting up the electrical and oxygen systems, loading patients, managing patient needs as they arise during flight, and they are also subjected to a simulated in-flight emergency.
“The intention behind this schoolhouse is to teach AET students, from the ground up, how to configure and then function within the aircraft,” said Tech. Sgt. Nickolaus Burns, 445th AES flight instructor.
While some AE technicians from the Guard and Reserve components attend the schoolhouse, others receive the training in-house with their squadrons.
“When you go out to fly real sorties, you may end up flying with other units from the Guard or active duty, so it’s important that everyone is on the same page,” said Tech. Sgt. Kristine Martin, 445th AES flight instructor. “I didn’t attend this schoolhouse for my initial training, but I still learned those skills through training with my squadron, and now I can pass that knowledge on to the newest batch of AET’s.”
The four 445th AES flight instructors spent two days augmenting the cadre at the schoolhouse, and there is a possibility the squadron may provide more cadre support in the future.
“These aren’t tasks that we have to do; it’s a cooperative effort. They need help, and we can provide it, so we do,” Smeltzer said. | aerospace |

Deutsche Flugsicherung (DFS), the government owned company that is responsible for air traffic control throughout Germany, said in a statement that “Technicians are working intensively on analysing the problem.”
A software fix is expected to be applied overnight between Wednesday, March 27 and Thursday March 28.
The software problem is affecting a system that displays flight progress strips, which show the position and course of aircraft as they fly through the country's airspace.
The issue was first reported last week and is forcing DFS to reduce flights at the four airports by 25 percent. Air traffic control functions at Germany's three other control regions in Bremen, Karlsruhe and Munich are not affected, DFS said.
The Langen control area covers a large part of southern and western Germany. DFS says capacity reductions will remain in effect until further notice. | aerospace |

Singapore’s continued efforts to improve its aerospace infrastructure are embodied in the groundbreaking Seletar Aerospace Park, an integrated industrial park focusing on:
- Aerospace Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO)
- Design and manufacture of aircraft systems, components, and potentially light aircraft
- Business and general aviation activities
- Regional aerospace campus, which will house educational and training institutes and research facilities
Spanning over 300 ha, the park provides world-class aerospace facilities equipped with excellent business infrastructure and complete runway access, among others. More importantly, the park provides companies with access to invaluable synergies resulting from cluster integration.
Since its launch, a number of multinational corporations (MNCs) have opened facilities in this innovative park, including Rolls-Royce, Cessna Aircraft, Bell Helicopter, Hawker Pacific, and Fokker Services Asia, to name a few.
Currently, over 80% of the 83 ha of land in Phase 1 and 2 have been occupied. Phase 3 is still under development, targeting completion by 2014.
Long Term Prospects
In conclusion, Singapore’s aerospace engineering industry maintains positive long-term prospects, regardless of the global economic climate.
The industry is experiencing a surge in growth, both in a domestic and global scale. In Asia, in particular, the growth is more pronounced, as air traffic and aircraft fleet size continue to expand at a rapid rate.
For entrepreneurs and investors seeking a slice of this robust pie, there are major growth opportunities in Singapore, particularly in the areas of design and manufacturing of aircraft systems and components, regional aerospace training, and business aviation, among others.

According to state media, the unmanned spacecraft returned to the Jiuquan launch facility in northwest China on Monday as planned.
There was no information provided about the spacecraft, what technologies were tested, how high it went, or where its orbits had carried it after its launch in early August 2022. The craft’s images have likewise yet to be made public.
According to official media, the test represents an “important” achievement in China’s development into reusable spacecraft technology, which will give a more convenient and cost-effective approach to launch future space missions.
In 2021, a similar spacecraft went to the edge of space and returned to Earth on the same day in a mission that was similarly mostly unknown. It landed “horizontally,” according to China’s main space contractor at the time.
Commentators on Chinese social media suggested that Beijing is working on a spacecraft similar to the United States Air Force’s X-37B, an autonomous spaceplane that can stay in orbit for years.
After more than 900 days in orbit, the uncrewed and reusable X-37B returned to Earth in November last year in its sixth and most recent mission. | aerospace |

Before an ultra-secure communications military satellite soars into orbit, it has to fly to Florida aboard the U.S. Air Force's largest plane.
The California heat is stifling as we climb the 14-foot ladder into the passenger compartment of the C-5 Galaxy, the largest plane flown by the US Air Force. I had been told to expect a cold flight, and wore four layers of clothing. Now, sweat drips down my face. Everyone wears ear protection to drown out the engulfing noise of the four van-size jet engines hanging from the wings. A passing airman’s backpack bears a patch with the slogan “Embrace the Suck.” Good advice.
This flight is not built to suit passengers. Below, in the belly of the aircraft, sits 35 tons (32 metric tons) of equipment—an ultra-secure military communications satellite, and all the gear to transport such a spacecraft on earth. The satellite is encased in a white container custom-built to fit this aircraft. The entire cargo is valued at $1.3 billion.
“I think that may have been the most expensive cargo I’ve ever flown,” the pilot, captain Mike Zeleski, told me later.
In October, this satellite is to be placed on top of a rocket at Cape Canaveral, Florida, and launched into space, designed to become a vital cog in US national security. First, it has to get there. And that’s where the big plane comes in.
We boarded on a ladder from the tarmac at Moffett Field, California, and scampered to the rear of the aircraft along a narrow gantry between the interior wall and the satellite container, before stepping down onto the metal deck of the aircraft. There, we can appreciate the scale of the cargo bay, which stretches 19 feet (6 meters) wide and extends 121 feet (57 meters)—longer than the distance covered by Orville Wright’s first flight. You can fit six Apache helicopters in there, or, I’m told, more than 25 million ping pong balls. (Only the former has been attempted.)
A second ladder just in front of the enormous rear doors of the cargo bay takes us to elevated passenger compartment. The 12 rows of airline seats with rough blue upholstery looked 15 years old—which is excellent, since they are far roomier than the modern United Airlines seat I’ll endure on my return flight.
The other travelers are the team of Lockheed Martin employees responsible for building the satellite and transporting it to its destination, from the engineer in charge of the satellite, Kevin Au, to specially trained truck drivers, and the Air Force officers responsible for the government contract to build the satellite, led by lieutenant colonel Paul Muller. There is just one woman, Rachel Morford, an engineer who works for the nonprofit Aerospace Corporation, an independent technical adviser to the government on the contract.
Thick, knotted ropes hang in front of the hatches, helpfully labeled “Emergency Escape Rope.” In a brief safety presentation, the loadmaster says that rather than drop-down oxygen masks, the plane carries an EPOS—Emergency Passenger Oxygen System. By all appearances, these are hoods you put over your head. Per the airman, the air they supply will last about five to six minutes and, ruminatively, he observes: “Make sure, if you need to use it, to regulate your breathing.” I imagine situations where the plane depressurizes and I must don the hood. I practice regulating my breathing.
As we take off, the engine noise grows—they did not spend much time worrying about sound-proofing. The rows of seats are rear facing, and there is a sense of sliding out of your seat as the plane arcs upward. In flight, the tiny cabin, once over-heated, became chill, and I soon re-donned the layers I had stripped off. The real care is lavished on the cargo.
The size and power of the C-5 makes it finicky. The night before, as the satellite was brought aboard, airmen discovered a malfunction in the aircraft’s pressure system. With a normal payload, the plane would have flown anyway, with the cargo bay much hotter than usual. That wouldn’t do for the delicate satellite. Mechanics from Travis Air Force Base in California, where the plane is stationed, drove several hours in the middle of the night with spare parts to fix the problem.
Au turns and bumps fists with a colleague once we are clear of the runway. They have good reason to celebrate: Their satellite, after years of work, is inching closer to the finish line. It had been scheduled to launch in 2017, but a faulty component required a re-design and more delays. Now, it was good to be in the air, if not yet in orbit.
Throughout the five-hour flight to Florida, technicians periodically descend into the cargo hold to check on the satellite. I head down for an inspection tour of my own, uneasily eyeing the large bay door as I climb back down the vibrating ladder.
Behind the satellite crate, there is a long flatbed truck, covered in metal rollers, to provide ground transportation. On the truck, there are pallets loaded with crates of equipment, a fork-lift to unload them, as well as a large trailer that provides environmental control—the satellite’s own portable air conditioner. A computer displays information from sensors inside the satellite container that track temperature, humidity and vibration. The interior is filled with nitrogen pumped from dozens of tanks to create a neutral atmosphere. The cargo bay is even louder than the passenger compartment, and I scream questions directly into Au’s ear.
Space travel, it turns out, needs more than rockets: It must mobilize the biggest planes and specially designed trucks, certified pilots and drivers to operate them, meteorologists to watch out for rainstorms, technicians to watch out for turbulence, and field-grade military officers to oversee the whole operation. The next time you watch an rocket launch, remember that few minutes of fiery acceleration is just the last leg in a very long journey.
Muller entered the service as a military physicist—a real job, he assures me—and spent the beginning of his career working on nuclear detection and deterrence. For the last several years, he has worked at the Space and Missile Systems Center developing this satellite system and procuring this satellite.
It’s a good reminder that we are all gathered in this plane because of nuclear war.
Nuclear weapons catalyzed the new global economy in many ways, perhaps nowhere more so than in aerospace. Bigger, faster planes were needed to deliver nuclear weapons. Rockets, in fact, might be a better delivery method, and early ballistic missile research quickly became the foundation of the space program. The technology of Earth-imaging developed to spy on nuclear programs from above, with spy satellites eventually used to verify treaties limiting atomic weapons. Although Jimmy Carter was not interested in space, the shuttle program survived his presidency because it could put weapons-spotting satellites into orbit.
Presidents and their nuclear weapons must always be connected, according to US military doctrine. Effective deterrence requires everyone to know that the president will always be able to tell submarines in remote oceans or missile silos along the coast or bombers in the mid-air that it’s time to end the world. One way the Air Force makes this possible is with a satellite program known as AEHF—Advanced Extremely High Frequency.
It’s a not-so-catchy name for what will eventually be six satellites orbiting the world, a ultra-secure network for US forces, as well as the militaries of key American allies the UK, the Netherlands and Canada. It’s hard to understate how important this network will be to the ability of the US military to project force throughout the world, from counter-insurgency in the Middle East and hunting pirates in the Indian Ocean to surveilling North Korea’s weapons programs. The entire program costs more than $15 billion, making it one of the pricier defense acquisitions, though nowhere near as expensive as major ships and aircraft. Three satellites are already in orbit, 22,000 miles above the Earth.
The latest addition to the constellation
Space Vehicle Four, in the container below us, weighs about 9,000 lbs without fuel, and the common comparison for its size is a jumbo-size transit van. Effectively, it’s a rectangular box, with two solar arrays on opposite faces that fold out in orbit, and two panels of antennae that fold down to face Earth. The guts of the satellite were designed and built by Lockheed Martin, the enormous US defense contractor, while its communications instruments were built by Northrop Grumman, the only slightly less enormous US defense contractor. Lockheed also built the C-5 the satellite flew on.
The satellite was assembled at the company’s campus in Sunnyvale, California, nestled in Silicon Vally next to Moffett Airfield, once a key home of America’s dirigible force, now operated by Google. The Sunnyvale team operates clean rooms and runs the super-size flying robot through a battery of tests that shake it, roast it, and toast it with radio energy, all to ensure that in space, it will work without fail. It could work nowhere else: Its structures are designed for microgravity—if the solar wings extended to their full 76-foot span on Earth, they would collapse under their own weight.
AEHF spacecraft have many unique features. When special forces in the field rely on them to stay in touch, the satellites automatically hop from frequency to frequency to dodge enemy attempts to jam it. Each spacecraft is directly linked to the other satellites in the constellation, so information doesn’t need be sent down to ground systems where it can be intercepted. It promises to deliver data to users at a speed of 8 mbps, faster than the connection to my home wifi network right now.
Most importantly, and expensively, it can survive a nuclear strike. Atomic explosions release bursts of electrical energy that can fry computers, even in orbit. This satellite is hardened to pass through such energy blasts unscathed. More than that, if the satellite loses touch with its control system on the ground, it can operate autonomously, continuing to provide service to its users. It’s the kind of communications network that sends a message of deterrence just by existing, since it would (presumably) survive a nuclear first strike. Au, proud of his work, scoffed a bit at the attention received by autonomous drone and car companies. His vehicle is operating at the real technological frontier.
It is likely the satellite can do even more impressive things. I became familiar with a certain type of reaction whenever I asked officers or engineers questions about its classified capabilities—a brief burst of meaningful eye contact among the participants, a studious resetting of their facial expressions, and a promise “to get back to you on that one.”
I wasn’t able to see the satellite outside of its container. The images of the spacecraft shared in this article are tightly controlled by the US Air Force and Lockheed Martin, down to the color of the background lighting. The public-affairs officer for the AEHF satellite program at Space and Missile Command didn’t respond to multiple e-mails about the project. These images showing a satellite going into and out of its container are actually of a different Lockheed satellite (one that spots enemy missiles with infrared surveillance) because it will take a month for various bureaucrats to approve publication of similar pictures of Space Vehicle Four.
The grand unboxing
Dodging thunder storms, the plane makes its way across the country at nearly 600 miles per hour. Zeleski’s Air Mobility Command unit flies these satellite transport missions seven or eight times a year. More often, his team is moving troops or military equipment from the US to the Pacific, Europe or the Middle East. If necessary, the C-5 can make such trips without stopping or re-fueling. After Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico in 2017, Zeleski was tasked to fly in a colossal generator that allowed the island to turn on its air-traffic control system again, bringing in a flood of aid by plane. He’s an instructor pilot, with some 1,800 hours in the C-5 alone. Ahead of this mission, he practiced landing extra-heavy planes to make sure he had the right feel for it.
Today, he coming down a nearly three mile-long runway at Kennedy Space Center, originally designed for shuttles winging their way back from orbit. For a passenger facing backwards, the landing too, a weird sensation, is smooth as silk. We coast gently down the runway to avoid any jarring from the brakes. As soon as we’ve taxied to the tarmac, the unloading team is already bounding down the ladder to check the satellite and begin preparing for its exit from the vehicle.
We touch down at about 8:15pm eastern time, with twilight fast approaching. Large floodlights are set up in a circle around the aircraft to prepare for the overnight unloading process. Bugs swarm them and us. Now I get to see the Lockheed team and their Air Force counterparts at work.
Perhaps 40 people are in action around the plane, many flown here in advance to meet us at landing. In contrast to the trim and youthful airmen in flight suits or fatigues, the Lockheed team tends toward the middle-aged and thick in the waist, wearing jeans, T-shirts, baseball caps and nylon-surfaced modern work boots with metal toes. They are the kind of people who carry multi-tools, who measure twice, and who operate from thick binders detailing the procedures for the work they are about to do. Many are military veterans. Before each stage of the unloading process, they huddle to talk through every step.
The concept is simple: First the back of the plane opens, and the specially designed flatbed truck drives out. The forklift takes all the crates and the mobile air-conditioner off the truck, which drives around to the front of the plane.
The back of the plane closes, and the front opens. The plane knees down so that the cargo bay floor lines up with the flatbed. The satellite then slides out like an gigantic Pez candy from a dispenser.
All of this will take hours. The overnight operation ensures that Florida’s typical summer afternoon thunderstorms won’t drench the satellite and its crew. Distant crackles of heat lightning worry the team, which is in radio contact with the weather squadron at Patrick Air Force Base. Nasty weather is at least 12 miles away and remaining there, they are told. The 45th Space Wing also provides two trucks bristling with antennae that detect nearby radio energy that might harm the satellite.
While the workers and airmen confer under the watchful eyes of a Lockheed safety official, the head of security and a pair of quality-assurance engineers who stand over a small cart loaded with binders of documentation.
The team is scheduled to depart in a convoy at 2am, which will wind out of the Kennedy Space Center to a processing facility in nearby Titusville. It will crawl at 20 mph, with cars running ahead to block intersections. At 5:30am, it will arrive, and a few hours later, they will finally take the satellite out of the box. Next up, it will undergo weeks of tests to ensure it is ready to head to space. After, the satellite will be fueled and encased in an aerodynamic nose cone built by United Launch Alliance, which builds and operates the Atlas V rocket that will carry Space Vehicle Four into orbit. (ULA is a Lockheed joint venture with Boeing.) In October, the enclosed satellite will take another overnight convoy back to Cape Canaveral, where it will be loaded on top of a rocket and launched into space.
The end is in sight
The scale of this project—just moving this thing across country required five private organizations, two different wings of the Air Force, and probably 60 people—gives context for its stratospheric cost.
It may also be a vanishing model. The paradox of these delicate military satellites is that they are mainly protected by their ultimate isolation, circling tens of thousands of miles above at nearly 7,000 mph. It’s just hard to get up there and hit them. Yet as space technology grows easier to access, their safety is increasingly in question. Anti-satellite missile systems developed by China and Russia keep military strategists up at night. They are now beginning to predict the end of mega-satellites and a move towards swarms of smaller, redundant satellites that will be harder to attack.
That may make trips like this one obsolete, but not for a decade or more—the space-industrial complex moves at the same glacial pace as the satellite container inching out of the C-5 in front of me. A handful of technicians are in the plane, pushing the container from behind (elbow grease can be as reliable as a mechanical means in a delicate situation). Outside, others check and re-check the alignment of the flatbed with flashlights and measuring tape. It’s nearly midnight by the time the satellite is fully on the truck.
Once it’s out, team leaders begin to turn in. Like giddy children on Christmas Eve, they need some rest before opening their present.

Human Space Exploration
It looks like SpaceX is now prioritizing Crew Dragon which is great for NASA
Coalition Member in the News – Boeing
Ars Technica (10/8): SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is stepping up efforts to carry out a critical in flight abort test of the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon in response to concerns within NASA that delays in its Commercial Crew Program could leave the agency without a means of transporting U.S. astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Musk indicated that hardware for an in-flight abort test in late November or early December is en-route to the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) launch site. Currently, NASA’s last seat on a Russian Soyuz, which has provided Space Station transportation since the space shuttle fleet’s 2011 retirement, is in March. SpaceX is also working a spacecraft parachute issue.
Musk says Crew Dragon tests will be done in about 10 weeks
Coalition Member in the News – Boeing
Spacepolicyonline.com (10/9): In recent weeks, NASA has expressed an urgency in bringing the development phase of its Commercial Crew Program to a conclusion with certifications for Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX’s Crew Dragon to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Russia’s Soyuz has provided the only launch service since NASA’s shuttle fleet was retired in 2011. Using social media, SpaceX’s Elon Musk indicated Tuesday a required test launch of Crew Dragon with astronauts aboard to the Space Station could unfold late this year, or early in 2020, and also that an in-flight abort launch without astronauts on board could happen in late November or early December. Possibly, he suggested, all test activities could be complete in about 10 weeks. The uncrewed Crew Dragon flight test to the Space Station was carried out successfully in March, weeks before a launch site fire damaged SpaceX abort test capsule. Boeing, meanwhile, has still to launch uncrewed and crewed test flights of the Starliner to the Space Station as well as the in-flight abort test. Boeing’s Chris Ferguson, a retired NASA astronaut, indicated Tuesday the abort test could occur next month and the uncrewed and crewed Starliner flights in the “near future.” NASA has one Soyuz seat remaining on a mission launching to the Space Station in March.
NASA looks to support development of commercial space stations
SpaceNews.com (10/8): NASA has issued a draft call for proposals for commercial destination development in low Earth orbit. A final version call for proposals that is responsive to commercial feedback from the draft could be released November 18. At the direction of the White House, NASA is seeking to transition its human exploration focus from low Earth orbit activities to deep space, starting with an accelerated human return to the lunar surface in 2024. Earlier this week, at a Washington meeting of the National Academy of Engineering, former NASA administrator Charles Bolden called for a more concerted effort by the commercial sector to invest in use of the ISS and free flying platforms.
Astronauts bioprint beef in space for the first time
Endgadget (10/8): An effort led by Aleph Farms succeeded in bioprinting a beef steak aboard the Russian segment of the International space Station (ISS) in late September. A bioprinter from 3-D Bioprinting Solutions succeeded in demonstrating it can create the meat faster in the absence of gravity. The breakthrough could offer astronauts a valuable source of protein, while on Earth it may offer a way to cultivate beef with less power and impact on the environment.
Nobel Prize in physics awarded for studies of Earth’s place in the universe
New York Times (10/8): The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Tuesday announced award of the Nobel Prize for physics to Canadian-American James Peebles of Princeton University and to Swiss scientists Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. Peebles’ work helped parse the composition of the universe into 5 percent normal matter and energy and 95 percent invisible dark energy and dark matter. Mayor and Queloz discovered the first extra solar planet orbiting a sun-like star in October 1995.
Pegasus rocket looks to launch NASA weather satellite from aircraft into space
Coalition Member in the News – Northrop Grumman
Orlando Sentinel (10/8): After a lengthy delay to overcome technical issues with the rocket launcher, NASA’s Ionospheric Connection Explorer satellite, or ICON, is ready to launch Wednesday night from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. During a two year primary mission, the spacecraft will study interactions between solar and Earth weather from an equatorial orbit and altitude of 360 miles. The ionosphere is home to the International Space Station (ISS). Radio waves bounce off the ionosphere, and GPS signals pass back and forth between users on the Earth and spacecraft in a higher orbits. Launch on a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket carried aloft by an L-1011 called Stargazer is planned for 9:30 p.m.

The news network said it has gotten the government OK to fly a drone over large crowds of people outdoors, which could come in handy in any future debates with the government over just how big some crowds are.
According to the network, the Federal Aviation Administration has given it a first-of-its-kind waiver to "to operate the Snap UAS, a frangible, 1.37-pound aircraft with enclosed rotors that is made of deformable material, over people."
Related: Drones a ‘New Opportunity’ for Broadcasters
CNN said it will be able, for the first time, to fly an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) over open-air assemblies, up to 150 feet above ground level.
“This waiver signifies a critical step forward not only for CNN’s UAS operations, but also the commercial UAS industry at large,” said David Vigilante, senior VP of legal for CNN, in a statement.
CNN said its waiver request was the product of more than two years of research and testing in conjunction with Vantage Robotics, which developed the Snap "flying camera," and that the waiver was granted in part based on the network's history of safe operations and test data showing the camera was safe to fly over crowds on the ground.

CNN already obtained waivers to fly a smaller craft over people and one for using UAS on closed sets for TV and film.
In August 2016, CNN launched a dedicated drone unit to provide aerial shots for all networks and platforms.

The aviation enthusiast just included himself in the list of 114 co-record breaking people who have accomplished the feat.
Ademilola Odujinrin is an experienced commercial pilot. He is taking up this challenge under ‘Transcend project’ which is geared towards helping people overcome limitations.
The over one month long task took him round the entire world. Of course, it is logical that he made several stops along the route.
The idea was that the solo pilot, Ademilola Odujinrin would fly his way to and from Lagos going through places like Central Africa, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates, India, Australia, the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Algeria and Niger Republic.
Ademilola made this expedition with a Cirrus SR22 aircraft with a payload of 439kg and a registration number of N313CD. The aircraft has additional long-range tanks and several other modifications to suit the nature of the task.
The seasoned pilot spent weeks training and mastering the navigation of his historic solo flight across the globe.
According to Ademilola who is a husband and a father of 2, the essence of the expedition is to show Nigerians a practical picture as well as the need for breaking barriers.
“The project aims to inspire Nigeria’s teeming population to begin to conceive a world without borders with unbridled dreams to transform the Nigerian narrative while shattering all stereotypes.”Loading...
Before his take off, the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi at Dulles Airport Washington DC, USA graced the unveiling ceremony of the Nigerian Captain, Ademilola Odujinrin.
His imperial majesty blessed the young man who is putting Africa as a whole on the map by daring to be the first African ever to undertake a Solo flight round the world.
Report says that the expedition cost about $1 million and took 10 long years to organize. | aerospace |

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. >> Christmas turkey rocketed toward the International Space Station on Wednesday, along with cranberry sauce, candied yams and the obligatory fruitcake.
The SpaceX booster missed its landing zone on the ground after liftoff, however, and ended up in the sea just a couple of miles offshore. Groans filled SpaceX Mission Control in Hawthorne as live video showed the first-stage rocket booster spinning out of control, still high above Cape Canaveral. It was the company’s first missed ground landing, although it has overshot floating barges plenty of times in the past, a tougher feat to pull off.
A SpaceX commentator called it a “bummer,” but noted it was secondary to the Falcon 9 rocket’s main mission of getting the Dragon capsule to orbit.
The disappointment was offset by the successful flight of the Dragon capsule and its 5,600 pounds of cargo. It should reach the space station Saturday.
Besides smoked turkey breast and all the other fixings for Christmas dinner, the delivery includes 40 mice and 36,000 worms for aging and muscle studies.
Researchers expect a tenfold increase in the worm population. There will be plenty of room on board for all the tiny nematodes. It turns out their muscles are similar to ours in structure and function, making them perfect lab substitutes, said lead scientist Timothy Etheridge of the University of Exeter in England.
The launch was delayed a day when NASA discovered that the food for the mouse-tronauts was moldy. More food had to be rushed in from California.
Just two days earlier, three astronauts arrived at the space station to join the three already there. The crew includes two Americans, two Russians, one German and one Canadian. | aerospace |

To ensure the safest care is provided to the patient, critical steps in medicine often contain secondary and tertiary checks. One such critical step, and perhaps the most basic, is ensuring we have the correct patient prior to administering care.
SEYMOUR JOHNSON AIR FORCE BASE, N.C. — Over the past few years, the Air Force has seen the introduction of several weapons systems that have pushed its aviation capability to new heights.
On Oct. 24, superheroes, princesses, witches, and more swarmed the Hill for the 6th annual Haunting the Hill event on Hill Air Force Base.
Team Hill family members were welcomed out to The Landing for a hauntingly fun evening where children could dress up and participate in numerous fall festivities.
HILL AIR FORCE BASE — 388th and 419th Fighter Wing pilots began flying night missions Oct. 20-24, and projects future night flying to occur Nov. 3-18, Nov. 25 and Dec. 8-23. Local residents may hear F-16s flying during the night hours as pilots continue to hone their night-time combat flying skills.
The Hill Air Force Base Warrior Fitness Center offered the spooky and sweaty Spoo-FIT-icular fitness event Oct. 25. for interested participants in the cardio room. Participants came and sweated their Saturday morning away in these free classes offered during this fitness party.
HILL AIR FORCE BASE — New Airmen hit the ground running when they are stationed at Air Force bases across the country and the realities of life with a new job in new territory hit full force, but Air Force leadership are hoping they have an easier transition with the Adopt-an-Airman Program, started nearly a year ago with a nationwide mandate.
HILL AIR FORCE BASE — Born with Phocomelia, an extremely rare congenital disorder causing shortened arms, no elbows, and missing limbs, Landon Weeks at age 10 wanted to learn to play the piano like his older brothers, but his mom, Lanette Weeks, had a difficult time finding a piano teacher who would teach someone who only had six fingers — three on each hand.
For more than 15 years, the Hill Air Force Base Officers’ Spouses’ Club (HOSC) has been hosting Bazaars on base. This year’s Holiday Bazaar is quickly approaching on Nov. 19. The event will be held in the ballroom at The Landing from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and is free to attend for anyone with base access.
HILL AIR FORCE BASE – Hill’s chaplains are seeing a radical change in how they serve their fellow Airmen, spurred on by budget cuts and a real need to help Airmen by their sides, rather than inside a chapel.
Hill was selected as Air Force Materiel Command’s choice for the Commander-in-Chief’s 2015 Annual Award for Installation Excellence. | aerospace |

According to the International news agency writers, it is difficult to detect and destroy those missiles due to fly on high altitude and speed. These missile runs at Mach 5 speed, which is about 6000 km/h speed. According to researchers at the US and other Western weapons, some of them have 25,000 kilometers per hour speed, which is 25 times higher than modern passenger planes. The former head of the Pacific Command Admiral Harry told last year in February that Hyper Sonic Weapon is a modern technology in which China outstripped the US military and threatened US interference in the Asia Pacific region. In the last April, US Secretary of Defense Defense told the Senate armed services Committee that China has deployed hyper-sonic systems with conventional warheads, or are close to deployment that can travel thousands of kilometers from Chinese shores and capable of hitting American base. He further said we did not have any system to combat it. Russia already had deployed hypersonic weapons in last May. | aerospace |

Imagine being able to monitor weather patterns in space just by looking at 15 high definition 46-inch screens, each displaying live satellite images of the sun in different wave lengths?
This is now a reality after the South African National Space Agency's (SANSA) upgraded its Space Weather Regional Warning Centre with an information wall using this technology.
The wall presents real time data from SANSA's space monitoring instruments positioned across Southern Africa, Antarctica and Marion and Gough islands.
"The upgraded system provides our team with a superior platform to monitor the sun and its activity in far greater detail for more accurate space weather forecasts, warnings and alerts and environmental data on space weather conditions used by governments and private industry in Africa.
"This new facility will add significantly to our space weather service offerings, improve our understanding of our solar terrestrial environment and enable SANSA to further leverage the benefits of space science and technology for the African continent," said SANSA managing director for Space Science Dr Lee-Anne McKinnell.
SANSA uses the information from the centre to send warnings to organisations that may be affected when space weather conditions don’t look good.
“The defence, communications, navigation, aviation and energy sectors are especially vulnerable to the effects of space weather," said McKinnell.
SANSA chief executive officer Val Munsami said extreme space weather storms are a risk that could endanger the economy and cost South Africa billions if not mitigated effectively.
The centre is mandated to develop South Africa's space weather capabilities provide government, industry and the public with a space weather operations system; and improve the understanding and awareness of space weather in Africa.
"Governments in several countries including the United States of America and United Kingdom have recently listed space weather on their National Risk Registers," said Munsami.
He added that the state-of-the-art facility is integral to protecting satellites Africa's national power grids and communications and navigation systems from the harmful effects of space weather.
The Space Weather Regional Warning Centre is located in Hermanus in the Western Cape, is also the only one on the African continent. | aerospace |

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has warned passengers whose flights were either delayed or cancelled as result of the non- availability of aviation fuel also known as Jet A1 to report to the Consumer Protection Officers at the various airports instead of destroying airport facilities.
The regulatory body gave the warning today in an online statement signed by the General Manager, Public Relations, Mr Sam Adurogboye.
According to the NCAA, the warning became necessary following reports of passengers’ rage and violence from some of the nation’s airports in the last few days.
Adurogboye stated that in some cases irate passengers had resorted to wanton destruction of certain facilities at airports.
He said that the regulatory authority agrees absolutely with the passengers that the conditions of carriage on their tickets must be upheld by the operating airlines, adding that it is the statutory responsibility of NCAA to ensure that passengers derive value for their money.
NCAA, he posited is well primed to ensure that all aggrieved passengers’ complaints such as flight cancellations, delays, missing baggage, denied boarding among others are professionally handled by its Consumer Protection Officers.
The agency however, informed passengers that it is aware of the prevailing scarcity of Jet A1, which has inevitably led to flight cancellations and delays by the airlines.
The regulatory body, the spokesman, said has also taken cognisance of concerted efforts being made by airlines to ensure that passengers are ferried without any hitches.
He stated that the Federal Government of Nigeria was already engaging stakeholders involved with the procurement and distribution of aviation fuel to ensure availability in earnest, calling on passengers to exercise caution while expressing their grievances as the airlines are grappling with the challenges thrown up by the non- availability of Jet A1.
NCAA called on the airline operators to ensure they adhere strictly to the Standard and Recommended Practices (SARPs) in their operations and that passengers must be informed of any development concerning their flights well ahead of time.
Recalled that there have been delays and cancellation of flights by domestic airlines in the country occasioned by the non availability of aviation fuel which is in its third week. | aerospace |

MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. — Members of Civil Air Patrol’s Texas and Louisiana wings will participate May 2-9 in a training scenario involving a hurricane striking Texas from the Gulf of Mexico – one stage of the North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command's Ardent Sentry 12 homeland security and disaster response exercise.
In the Texas-based scenario, the hurricane first makes landfall near Brownsville, blows back out to the Gulf and then hits the upper Texas coast, wreaking major damage to infrastructure.
The area command post will be staffed by members from National Headquarters, Southwest Region and Texas Wing staff in Denton. Incident command posts will operate in Houston and San Antonio and in Alexandria, La.
Elsewhere, Ardent Sentry 12 will include field training events in Alaska, Connecticut, North Dakota, Oregon and Nova Scotia, Canada, involving U.S. and Canadian military units and responses to such simulated disasters as a nuclear weapons incident at an Air Force base and an air crash in a remote area, as well as other weather-related calamities.
Ardent Sentry is held annually to sharpen the readiness skills of local, state and national organizations in responding to national-level emergencies, including natural disasters and terrorism incidents.
CAP, the U.S. Air Force auxiliary, regularly takes part in Ardent Sentry and other homeland security and disaster response exercises across the nation, assisting local, state and national organizations with crisis and terrorism preparedness. Most recently, CAP participated March 28-29 in Operation Falcon Virgo, an airborne intercept mission conducted over Washington, D.C., to test the Air Force's threat-intercept procedures.

Uh… Why?
As part of NASA’s new project to increase the amount of data we can send and receive from deep space, they swapped out a standard radio frequency device on a spacecraft for a new, optical, near-infrared laser. While both systems transmit data using electromagnetic waves, the near-infrared light packs data into MUCH tighter waves, allowing you to send data 10 to 100 times faster.
This 15-second video of a cat named Taters was beamed in ultra-high definition from 19 MILLION miles away. This cat video proves that optical communication could be the key to transmitting data, photos, and video as we explore further into space.

Pilot & Markings
Generallieutenant Adolf Galland — JV 44, Germany, 1945
Scale & Kit
1/48 Scale Tamiya Model
The Messerschmitt Me262 was the first jet powered fighter to enter World War II. This aircraft saw action in late 1944 and played a significant role as a bomber, a reconnaissance plane, as well as a fighter/interceptor. Due to its superior speed, the jet was nicknamed “Turbo” by German pilots.
Among these pilots was the renowned Adolf Galland, one of the German Air Forces highest ranking aces. With the permission of Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring, Galland was able to form his own Me262 equipped fighter squadron, which he called “Jagdverband JV44”. Proving the effectiveness of this lethal jet fighter, Galland was credited with 7 victories while flying the Me262’s. The amount of victories accumulated with this particular aircraft is unknown as the “White 3” was one of several jets that Galland flew during the last year of the war.
Tamiya’s Me262 model airplane kit was used to produce Adolf Galland’s “White 3”. Standard paint scheme is RLM 82/83 over RLM 76. After market parts include Ultracast’s 1/48 scale seat w/seatbelts to advance the cockpit. An excellent rendition of Adolf Galland’s Me262A-1a “White 3” jet aircraft.
THIS is a Gorgeous Representation of Galland’s “White-3” aircraft! I have two of the 1/32 scale Hasegawa versions that I intend to do as “Sister” squadron plans.
I also have the “21st, Century Toys” version in 1/32 and for a “Toy” it’s actually pretty decent AND has lots of room for “Added Detailing” which I plan on doing!
I have saved all of the pics from this posting to use for that purpose as this is a REALLY Excellent rendition of his aircraft!
Thank You for the time to build and share this model with us!

Trump was en route to Palm Beach, Fla, returning to his Mar-a-Lago estate after making a speech at a GOP donor retreat in New Orleans hosted by the Republican National Committee, Politico reported, citing two sources familiar with the incident.
The private jet was reportedly in the air for between 20 and 30 minutes when the pilot made a call to turn the plane around and return to New Orleans airport. Audio communications between the pilot and air traffic control reportedly showed the landing was considered "emergency in nature." According to Politico, another source familiar with the matter denied that claim saying that the word "emergency" was not used.
As CNBC reported, the RNC was able to obtain another plane for Trump from a donor and he returned home to Mar-a-Lago on that aircraft.
Trump said during the speech in New Orleans that he is strongly considering another run for the White House in 2024. | aerospace |

Japan's Stealth Fighter Program
Japan has a nascent stealth fighter program run by the Ministry of Defense's Acquisition Technology And Logistic Agency ( ATLA ) for the Japan Air Self Defense Force ( JASDF ) and it is known as the Advanced Technology Demonstrator - X ( ATD-X ) Stealth Fighter Program or 先進技術実証機 senshin gijutsu jisshoki. As the name implies, it is a prototype to test advanced concepts in stealth and other aviation technology that can ultimately be utilized by a future generation fighter design.
Not many countries in the world can boast of having independently embarked on stealth aircraft development. Apart from the United States who is the undisputed leader in stealth technology, only Russia, China and Japan can claim to have truly indigenous stealth fighter programs. Being a Tier 1, Tier2 or Tier 3 partner in the Joint Strike Fighter Program does not count since most of the work is done by the Americans.
The Russian effort has resulted in the Sukhoi PAK-FA ( T-50 ) which is about to enter service this year while the Chinese are said to have the J-20 already in low rate initial production ( LRIP ) and are in an advanced stage with their J-31. This article takes a closer look at how the Japanese are fairing.
Replacing JASDF's Ageing Fighters
The JASDF currently operates a fleet of ageing fighter aircrafts including the Vietnam War era F-4EJ Kai, the F-16 derived F-2 and the F-15J. Back in 2005, they were really keen to have the F-22A as the replacement for some of these old aircrafts, but to safeguard its supremacy in stealth technology, the United States decided not to export their most capable stealth fighter to anyone, not even to their most trusted ally Japan. Instead, the Americans have been pushing everybody to accept the second best option, the problem plagued, expensive and long overdue F-35 Joint Strike Fighter ( JSF ). So, in a way, the Japanese had been forced to develop their own stealth fighter. The ATD-X program was launched.
Meanwhile, with the F-4EJ way beyond its sell-by date, and perhaps alarmed by the emergence of Chinese stealth jets, the Japanese finally decided in 2011 to acquire 42 F-35A JSF as an interim measure to replace the Phantoms. 38 of the 42 F-35A will be assembled by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in their Nagoya plant. Mitsubishi will also be involved in testing the JSF's stealth against radars, and the experience gained in the development and manufacturing of the F-35 should contribute towards the development of Japan's indigenous stealth fighter.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries ( MHI 三菱重工 ) is a conglomerate with interests spanning the aerospace, marine, land transport, energy and environment domains. Their products are so diverse that it is almost impossible to list everything. Some of the more prominent ones include the Soryu-class attack submarine, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet ( MRJ ), Atago-class Aegis destroyers, Patriot SAM system and the Type-10 MBT.
All of JASDF's post-war fighter aircrafts had so far been designed or license-produced by MHI, from the F-86 Sabre to the F-104J Starfighter, followed by the F-4EJ Phantom, F-1, F-15J, F-2 and now the F-35.
Of course those who are familiar with military history will tell that Mitsubishi is actually most famous for the long range carrier-borne fighter known as the A6M Zero or the Reisen (零戦). This legendary fighter was designed by aeronautical engineer Jiro Horikoshi ( 堀越二郎 ), and its performance was unmatched by any western combat aircraft at the beginning of World War II, attaining a kill ratio of 12:1. It was extensively used by the Imperial Japanese Navy on the raid on Pearl Harbour in Dec 1941, an event that marked the beginning of the Pacific War.

So, it is quite obvious that MHI has been a key player when it came to Japanese fighter design and production for close to a century, stretching back to the pre-war years.
Mitsubishi X-2 Stealth Fighter
The X-2 is a single-seat, twin-engine, thrust-vectoring, low-observable technology demonstrator. It has a shape similar to other stealth aircrafts like the F-22 and the PAK-FA with a flat looking body and two outward canting vertical stabilizers. The air intake ducts were shaped to conceal the engine fan blades from radar waves and access panels have serrated edges. In fact it looked like a miniature version of the F-22.
It was initially launched as the ATD-X program following the failure by Japan to acquire an export version of the F-22, the project was under the jurisdiction of the Technical Research and Development Institute ( TRDI ) which was the predecessor of the current ATLA.
Anechoic chamber tests carried out in France in 2005 on a full scale ATD-X model suggested that it had a radar cross section ( RCS ) equivalent to an object the with a size somewhere between that of an insect and a bird. These electromagnetic spectrum reflection and absorption tests were originally intended to be done at a USAF test facility but approval was not granted.
In the spring of 2006, a radio-controlled 1 : 5 scale model of the ATD-X constructed out of carbon fibre reinforced plastic with a length of 3m and width of 2m and a weight of 45kg was first flown at the Multi-Purpose Aerospace Park in the Taikicho District of Hokkaido ( 北海道大樹町 ). A total of 4 such remotely controlled aircrafts were eventually constructed and 40 test flights were conducted until Nov 2007.
Subsequently, the ATD-X program was given the full go ahead in 2007. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries was appointed the main contractor. As usual the early developments were cloaked in secrecy. The stealth prototype was commonly referred to as the Shinshin ( spirit of the heart ).
In order to keep developmental cost low, the X-2 reuses some components from previously developed aircraft types. This included the canopy and the ejection seat from the Kawasaki T-4 intermediate jet trainer which itself was taken from the Mitsubishi F-1 strike fighter. The main and rear landing gears were taken from the Mitsubishi T-2, the jet trainer developed from the F-1.
By 2009 39.4 billion yen had already been invested. 90% of the X-2's components are indigenously manufactured in Japan. Mitsubishi manufactures the fuselage and landing gears, Kawasaki the cockpit and canopy, Fuji the main wing and tail stabilizers, IHI the engines, in total about 220 Japanese aerospace companies supplying several hundred thousand different parts and components.
The ATD-X prototype was officially unveiled on 28th Jan 2016 by which time it had been given the designation X-2.
Advance technology that the ATD-X will test and evaluate includes the usual stuff one would expect for a 5th generation stealth fighter and more :
Low observable or stealth technology, like radar absorbing coating and materials. The body of the aircraft is said to be covered with a layer of new composite material of ceramic and silicon carbide capable of absorbing radar waves. The canopy itself would be emission-proofed with its own special coating.
Second generation AESA radar. Japan is the first country to have an AESA radar installed on a production combat fighter the Mitsubishi F-2 and that was almost twenty years ago. Although initially plagued with problems, the technology had matured and the experience gained by Japan would no doubt be a useful contribution towards the design of a new generation AESA radar.
Thrust vectoring and super-maneuverability. Each engine nozzle have a trio of unusual paddle contraptions similar to what was seen on the German-American X-31 experimental aircraft for vectoring engine thrust.
Indigenously developed high-thrust low by-pass turbofan capable of super-cruising - sustained super-sonic flight without the involvement of afterburners. Some of the experience gained in developing the XF5-1 engine for the X-2 had already been applied to the production F-7-10 engine used by the P-1 maritime patrol aircraft.
Fly-By-Light advance fibre optic flight control system, likely an improved version over the first generation control system used in the P-1. This Integrated Flight Propulsion Control ( IFPC ) links flight control with nozzle and thrust control to enable some form of automatic recovery from combat damage.
Next generation Infra-Red Search and Tract ( IRST ) and radio frequency sensors as well as Head Up Display and Helmet Mounted Display technology.
Advance Electronic Support Measures ( ESM ) and Electronic Countermeasures ( ECM ) suites. Likely electronic attack capability.
The specifications for the X-2 are as follows :
Length : 14.2m
Height : 4.5m
Weight : 9.7 tons
Engine : IHI XF5-1 Afterburning Turbofan x 2

JASDF Hamamatsu Air Park taken during my visit
on 11th Jun 2016.
Since the X-2's official unveiling on 28th Jan 2016, it had attained several important milestones. Low speed ground taxiing test was carried out on 11th Feb followed later by high speed full afterburner acceleration test on the runway.
After several delays due to technical issues and poor weather, the X-2 finally took to the skies for the very first time on 22nd Apr 2016. At 0847 hours local time, the experimental aircraft took off from Nagoya Airport in Aichi Prefecture, flew for 26 minutes and landed at the JASDF Gifu Air Base about 50km away at 0913 hours. The X-2 was accompanied by at least two chase planes, a F-2 and a F-15. During the brief, uneventful flight, the X-2 attained a maximum altitude of 12000 feet and a maximum speed of 370km/h. It underwent simple tests like ascend, descend and circling operations after entering the designated test flight zone. It also made a few simulated landings in the air before a final safe touch down. The MHI test pilot subsequently described the aircraft's handling as extremely stable and that it performed just as the simulator training had predicted. The Ministry of Defense considered the first flight a successful test in their press release ( in Japanese ).
The second flight of the X-2 took place on 18th May 2016 and was again rather uneventful. It was supposed to accelerate to a higher speed and retract its landing gears.
In the next two years or so, if all goes well, the X-2 will be performing another 50 test flights for more in depth studies of its aerodynamic and stealth characteristics. After that, Japan can decide whether it wants to pursue this stealth fighter venture on its own or if it wishes to partner other countries to develop the next generation fighter for the JASDF.

The Mitsubishi F-3
The Japanese hope that the technology used in the ATD-X / X-2 will eventually lead to the development and fielding of a new generation indigenous stealth fighter by 2030. This next generation fighter will presumably be designated the F-3, as the previous generations of fighters were designated the F-1 and the F-2.
The F-3 will likely be the replacement for both the F-15J and the slightly newer F-2. The F-15J began its service with the JASDF in 1984 and celebrated its 30th anniversary 2 years ago. They would have served 46 years in the JASDF by 2030. The F-2 entered service in 2000 and would have served 30 years by the end of the next decade.
Physically, the F-3 will have to be a lot bigger than the X-2 as it would have to carry loads of fuel to achieve the long endurance that the JASDF required to defend their island chains. The bigger airframe will also provide for a large internal weapons bay ( which the X-2 lacks ) for at least six large missiles and of course, bigger and more powerful engines.
You can watch the computer generated animation of the F-3A and the F-3E Strike Shinshin attacking a Chinese Carrier Battle Group in a sea battle in the year 2035, shooting down J-15s with cannons, AAM-4 and AAM-5 missiles and sinking two aircraft carriers with ASM-3 anti-ship missiles. Yes, go kick some Chinese Ass. Just don't expect the final F-3E, wherever that came from, to be shaped like what was depicted in the movie, with delta wings and without vertical stabilizers like the B-2 Spirit.
Japanese and Chinese carrier battle groups slug it out in this imaginary sea battle in 2035
Failure Is Not An Option?
Just like ship hulls, no airframe would last forever. Ageing aircrafts would have to be retired and replaced when they reach their rated flight hour limit. Japan's frontline combat fighters face an ever increasing operational tempo in recent years with record numbers of airspace violation incidences from Chinese aircrafts in the south and Russian aircrafts in the north. In FY2015 ( 1 Apr 2015 to 31 Mar 2016 ) MOD figures indicated 571 scrambles against Chinese aircrafts alone and 873 scrambles in total. At this rate, the F-15s and the F-2 may well have to be replaced even earlier than projected.
|Latest cumulative JASDF scramble data from 1958 ( Showa 33 ) to 2016 ( Heisei 28 )|
released on 5th Jul including figures for 1Q2016 ( red bar ), a record breaking 281 sorties.
Vertical axis indicates total number of scrambles while horizontal axis indicates the year.
So there is a sense of urgency for the X-2 stealth fighter program to progress in a timely manner and to culminate in the form of Japan's next generation fighter by the year 2030. Failure is really not an option.
The Japanese MOD had already issued a request for information on the next generation fighter to replace the F-2 from foreign and domestic aerospace companies, to be submitted by 5th Jul 2016. A tender worth an estimated $40 billion for about a hundred aircrafts will be launched sometime this month with MHI, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, SAAB and the Eurofighter Consortium either already invited or expressing interest. It is believed that three options existed, buying or upgrading an existing design ( F-15J? ), buying a new aircraft type from a foreign supplier and finally a domestically developed aircraft, likely with the help of foreign partners. A decision on the tender will be made by 2018 and the aircraft likely to enter service at the end of the next decade.
Currently, perhaps only two things could derail the X-2 program and prevent the development of an indigenous F-3. If the United States would come to its senses and somehow not only restart the production of the F-22 Raptor but agree to export it to Japan at a reasonable price, that could kill the X-2 and the F-3. If the F-35A could overcome its teething problems in short order and morph into the 5th generation fighter that it was supposed to be, coupled with a significant decrease in price with the commencement of volume production, that too could affect the X-2. In truth, neither of these hypothetical scenarios look likely to happen in the near term.
If and when the X-2 program is brought to fruition in the form of an operational 5th generation stealth fighter, it might just be the most significant weapon system developed in post-war Japan. And that's because at least for the free world, it would break the monopoly of the F-35 as the only option for an export stealth fighter.
To many Japanese, the X-2 is a symbol of hope that Japan could once again produce a world class fighter and be a dominant player in the aviation industry, just like it did 80 years ago with the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. That dream will progressively become closer to reality with each successful test flight of the X-2. Go forth and soar with the winds. Gambatte X-2! | aerospace |

U.S. private space firm SpaceX launched a shipment of supplies on Saturday to astronauts living in the International Space Station (ISS), carrying for the first time an experimental device independently designed by a Chinese college program.
The SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft blasted off atop a Falcon 9 rocket at 5:07 pm from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday. About 10 minutes later, SpaceX successfully landed the rocket's first stage at the company's Landing Zone 1, just south of the launch site at Florida's Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, as part of its effort to develop fully reusable rockets, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Among the Dragon's cargo to the ISS is a 3.5-kilogram device built by the Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) that is aiming to discover if space radiation and microgravity cause gene mutations, and if so, how.
Deng Yulin, dean of BIT's School of Life Sciences who spearheaded the project, told the Global Times on Sunday that the device will help his team conduct research on the influence and rules of the space environment on gene mutations. As astronauts suffer from functional changes in their nervous system or to their immune systems after spending long periods in space, the research will play an important role in studying the causes and providing treatment suggestions.
Deng's team signed an agreement with NanoRacks, a Houston-based company that offers services for the commercial utilization of the ISS in August 2015 at a preferential price. Under the agreement, NanoRacks facilitates delivery of the device to the U.S. side of the space station and astronauts there will conduct studies using the device for about one month, data from which will be sent back to the Chinese researchers.
As there is a U.S. law in place, known as the Wolf amendment, which bans cooperation between the U.S. space agency NASA and Chinese government entities, some media dubbed this commercial cooperation as a move that "broke the ice" of space cooperation between China and U.S.
However, some experts pointed out that the cooperation does not necessarily convey a positive signal that China and the U.S. will start cooperation in space science.
Guo Huadong, dean of the Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told the Global Times that his team has conducted several academic communications with NASA, but no official cooperation has been approved yet. "Under the Wolf amendment, it is not very likely that the U.S. will cooperate with China in space research."
"China has been excluded from partnering in the ISS due to U.S. restrictions, so this commercial cooperation helps us open a new channel to conduct important experiments on the ISS," said Deng.
Deng added that through this cooperation, the U.S. should know that Chinese scientists are professional and devoted and they are an important force in international space science, instead of "monsters." | aerospace |

Also, over 120 companies had contributed to the manufacturing of components during the Mars Orbiter Mission (MoM).
Realising the potential of future space technology, the government announced new reforms in the space sector to include the participation of private players in space related activities. In June, the Union Cabinet announced the formation of an autonomous nodal agency, Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe), an extension of ISRO, which is aimed at monitoring private players involved in space related activities.
Speaking at the International Space Conference on Ushering the New Era for Indian Space Sector, held from September 15-17, Dr K Sivan, ISRO Chairman and the Secretary at the Department of Space (DoS), said, “Domestic and international space requirements have increased multifold, and thus private sectors must come forward to contribute.” | aerospace |

Tokyo, 19 July: Japan plans to launch one half of a second pair of spy satellites using an H-2A rocket on 10 September, government officials said Wednesday [19 July]. The satellite system is purportedly to monitor North Korea.
After the successful launch of a first pair of satellites in March 2003, Japan lost a second pair in a failed launch of an H-2A rocket in November that year.
The new pair of satellites is designed to work with the first set to allow any point on Earth to be monitored once a day.

According to Nuhu, the aircraft operated by Pacific Energy Company Limited, was carrying the governor and his team on a scheduled flight to Abuja on September 4, 2023 when it had take-off hitch at the Lagos airport.
He said the minister of aviation and aerospace development, Mr Festus Keyamo who was briefed on the matter expressed concern about the incident
“The aircraft was carrying Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State and his team on a scheduled flight to Abuja.
“A mandatory report was submitted on 6th September 2023 in accordance with Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARS).
“The operator submitted the report through the new web based national aviation safety reporting system, SMS Pro, deployed by NCAA in collaboration with Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) in compliance with the provisions of ICAO mandated State Safety Programme and the Civil Aviation Act 2022.
“A full blown investigation of the incident has since commenced.
While expressing relief that the incident ended without any harm the honourable minister assured that the outcome of NCAA’s investigation and recommendations will implemented in line with Nig. CARS and global best practices.
“NCAA assures the traveling public that it will double its efforts in collaboration with Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB) to maintain and improve upon the high safety aviation standards set in the country over the past decade,” Nuhu said.
Meanwhile, spokesman for the governor, Mr Olawale Rasheed confirmed that the governor and some of his aides recently narrowly escaped an aircraft crash.
Rasheed alleged that the engine of the aircraft carrying the governor might have been tampered with.
“Contrary to the claim by the hanger owner that birds’ nests caused the incident, birds’ nests are made with straws not bidding wires as in this case.
“The near-fatal incident was averted shortly after boarding and less than two minutes after commencement of taxing on the tarmac.
“An early warning noise from the engines immediately prompted the pilots to direct evacuation of the passengers. Everything happened within five minutes.
“Early reports from the internal investigation indicated sabotage. But the authorities, locally and internationally, are still investigating the incident,” he said in a statement issued in Oshogbo. | aerospace |

So did the decide to stop using it when a fucking plane crashed into?
All in all very nice, though to me Ellis seems a bit slumped over.
Looks fucking amazing!
So they used a bay for a rescue place?
Nice prop placement and all that shit.

The Prologue was my first victim. From an original 1,061 words I whittled it down to 622 words. That’s a decrease of 41%! And I don’t think it lost any pace. Actually, I think it reads a lot more fluid now.
I wrote the prologue in order to jump right into the midst of the action. If you can’t capture the reader within the first couple of pages, you have lost them. Of course, the prologue does play a part in the plot, but that is for later.
Since it isn’t too long, I decided to post the prologue in its entirety. Did I achieve what I set out to do?
“Trans Air 185, descend to 5,000 feet, turn left heading 0-1-0. Report established on the localizer runway 34 center”, the air-traffic controller’s voice crackled from the headset.
Unconsciously pilot and co-pilot of Trans Air 185 sat up straight. The final approach into Seattle’s Sea Tac airport hat begun and required their full attention. “Roger, down to 5,000, 0-1-0 on the heading and we’re all set for ILS runway 34 center”, delivered in a smooth baritone timbre that apparently all airline captains are born with.
The co-pilot shot a brief glance at his captain, “Seems we’re looking at an on-time landing on this one. God, am I glad to be home again!”
“Let’s just keep everyone happy and bring this bird down first. It’s only over, once the wheels kiss the ground.”
The sun had just set and the flight displays in the Boing 737-800 basked the entire cockpit in a mellow red glow. Tom McFloyd, the captain on this flight, and his copilot, Jason Lurie, had been jetting up and down the west coast between San Diego and Seattle more often than they cared to count over the past years.
“Tower, we are established on the beam”, reported McFloyd as he rolled the wings level, the aircraft pointing straight at the beckoning lights of the runway with only a couple of miles left to touchdown.
“Trans Air 185, roger, you are cleared to land runway 34 center. Caution, simultaneous approaches on runway 34 right.”
Looking out the starboard window the flashing lights of another plane on final approach loomed close. Even though he knew that the autopilot was engaged, McFloyd’s grip on the yoke instinctively tightened. There was not a big margin for error. The other plane was a bit ahead, below, and slightly offset to the right, staggered closely for maximum efficiency operation of the airport. Nobody appreciated delays.
Suddenly, the other plane banked sharply left and pulled up into their flight path. On a collision course, they were only seconds from colliding in mid-air.
“What the fuck is this idiot doing?!” yelled McFloyd as he pulled hard on the yoke, forcing the plane’s nose to rise and veer to the right. His knuckles turned white as he fought the autopilot which still tried to keep them aligned with the runway. “Disengage, disengage the damn autopilot!” he yelled at his co-pilot. It took Lurie several precious moments to process what was unfolding before him as he stared wide-eyed and disbelieving at the rapidly growing shape converging upon them.
“Full power! Full power! We need to keep the speed up!”
If a plane flies ever more slowly, there comes a point where not enough air is rushing over the wings to create the needed lift keeping the aircraft aloft. When this happens, gravity wins and the sleek shape of shiny metal plummets out of the sky like a frozen turkey. It is drilled into the brain of every pilot from his first hour of training onward to keep up the speed and never let it drop too low.
Just as the Boeing 737 was reaching this point of no return, the vertical tail fin of the rogue plane impacted their starboard wing. Already precipitously slow, the impact of the other plane pushed it over the edge. It took only about five seconds to hit the ground at an almost inverted attitude. A couple of seconds later, the other plane impacted a mile south-east of their spot.
Other planes nearby had followed the radio exchange and witnessed the impact fires. There was a few seconds of disbelieving silence on the ether before all hell broke loose and the controllers tried their best to divert planes to other airports nearby all the while doing their best to keep something like this from happening again. | aerospace |

"At 6:16 p.m. on June 2 the SMM lost all communication with an SMM long-range unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) while it was flying at an altitude of 9,000ft in the area between "DPR"-controlled Korsun (31km north-east of Donetsk) and "DPR"-controlled Shevchenko (28km north-east of Donetsk)," the report reads.
While flying 2 km south of Korsun village, 12.5 km south-east of the contact line, the UAV experienced dual jamming of its Global Positioning System, causing loss of all communications and the video link
Seconds later, it experienced simultaneous system failures. At approximately 18:44 the Ukrainian Armed Forces liaison officer reported that they had lost the UAV from their radar, approximately 2 km south of Korsun at the same time when the SMM had also lost communication with the UAV.

This was confirmed by Department of National Defense (DND) undersecretary for finance, munition, materiel and modernization Fernando Manalo in a message to the PNA Wednesday.
But he did not give the exact date of the contract awarding.
Manalo earlier said in January that AgustaWestland is now undergoing post-qualification checks after being selected as sole proponent of the DND’s PHP5.4 billion ASW helicopter project.
Post-qualification refers to the background check to determine the capability of the manufacturer to deliver the equipment on time and comply with the specifications requested by the contracting party.
AgustaWestland was selected by the DND as the possible supplier of its two ASW helicopters late in 2015.
Manalo said AgustaWestland offered the Philippines its brand-new AW-159 “Wildcat” anti-submarine helicopter.
The AW-159 (previously called the Future Lynx and Lynx Wildcat) is an improved version of the Westland Super Lynx military helicopter.
It is ordered for the British Army and the United Kingdom’s Royal Navy.
It has a crew of two, has a maximum speed of 291 km/h (181 mph), range of 777 km (483 miles), ferry range of 963 km (598 miles) and an endurance of one and a-half hours (fours hours and 30 minutes if fitted with auxiliary fuel)
The AW-159 is fitted with forward firing CRV7 rockets and machine guns, pintle mounted machine gun, Sea Skua missiles and Sting-Ray torpedoes and depth charges.
The ASW helicopter project is one of the seven military modernization projects which President Benigno S. Aquino III has given DND the green-light to go into a “multi-year contract” last November.
Projects placed under the “multi-year contract” include the two missile-armed frigates, eight amphibious assault vehicles, two long-range patrol aircraft, six close-air support aircraft, munition for the brand-new FA-50PH jet fighters and surveillance radars.
Payment from the seven projects will run from 2015 to 2018.
Granting of the “multi-year contract” will allow to pursue the military modernization program beyond Aquino’s term, he added.
Total value of the seven projects is about PHP44 billion. PNA/northboundasia.coma | aerospace |

SafeZone is part of the Future Flight Challenge to position the UK as a leader in the third aviation revolution. With our initial project partners, Flare Bright, our project is designed to further safer and more viable drone flight.
The project has already achieved successful results at Cardiff Airport, St Athan Airport, and wind farms in the UK. We are also working with the Civil Aviation Authority and the British Standards Institution on the technical and regulatory aspects of UAV safety.
We’re excited to bring our expertise to resolve the challenge of gaining highly resolved wind data where airflow patterns may vary which will allow the drones to navigate around aerodynamic hazards (e.g. around buildings at airports, the urban landscape).
Our tech is modelling winds in these environments and validating them with our new service, AIRSIGHT, which is based on high-fidelity CFD simulations combined with live weather data. These can be streamed to route planning software or directly to drones. The models are validated using Flare Bright’s innovative drones, acting as a mobile anemometer.
With SafeZone moving forward so effectively, we wanted to document progress so far and bring it to life with a video.
Watch the video below.
Read the video transcript here:
Knowing accurate wind speed and direction is a critical enabler for Advanced Air Mobility – for safety, for planning and for Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Management. There is no easy way to get highly resolved wind data for urban, industrial and airport zones, where airflow patterns vary widely due to large buildings. UKRI Future Flight Challenge have funded project SafeZone Phase 3 to model winds in these environments and validate the model data in a new way.
The route planning and automated collision avoidance systems on modern drones can use the AIRSIGHT data service from Zenotech to navigate around aerodynamic hazards such as shear layers and vortices – for example near wind farm turbines or large buildings, such as Cardiff Airport.
The AIRSIGHT model is based on high fidelity computational fluid dynamics simulations, combined with live weather data to generate dynamic information for hazard avoidance. Large datasets are computed for each site, and streamed to route planning software, or directly to drones in operation.
Validation of model using Flare Bright PAD
Flare Bright develops drone software using machine learning digital twin technology. In addition to providing support for GPS-denied flight and GPS-spoofing capability, this provides accurate and versatile wind measurement in any drone with the software adapted to it, for example the PAD fixed-wing drone used for the flight trials at St Athan Airport. Acting as a mobile anemometer, the high fidelity wind data measured by the drone can be used to validate the AIRSIGHT model or to improve in-flight control.
To support general use of the capability, Cranfield University is developing a risk assessment and mitigation model, based on the behaviour of different drones in variable wind conditions.
SafeZone is working with the Civil Aviation Authority and the British Standards Institution to further develop the technical and regulatory requirements for the safe operation of drones. | aerospace |

The European project DAEDALOS includes the numerical and experimental investigation of the effects of transient load conditions - such as a landing impact or a flight through gusts - on various aircraft structures. In order to take those effects into account when pre-designing aircraft it is necessary to study the damping behavior of structures on the material and the component level as well as to establish appropriate decay curves of stress levels and deformations. This approach could be used to improve and partially replace present design criteria based on static loads by more realistic solutions. The assignment of the Institute of Structural Mechanics and Lightweight Design (SLA) is to measure the material damping of specimens made up of aluminium and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic and to provide data for finite element analyses (FE). Furthermore, experimental modal analyses are carried out on thin-walled stiffened plates and on sandwich panels to investigate the relationship between modal properties and stability behavior of these components. This work is complemented by FE-analyses. | aerospace |

https://hemetpd.com/hemet-police-department-launches-drone-as-a-first-responder-program | 2023-12-09T16:02:40 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100912.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209134916-20231209164916-00067.warc.gz | 0.931292 | 822 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__90387433 | en | Hemet, Calif. — On Monday, April 17, the Hemet Police Department launched a new Drone as a First Responder (DFR) Program to enhance its law enforcement capabilities. The DFR program will use small, remotely operated Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), also commonly referred to as drones, to provide law enforcement with critical information as they respond to calls for service and emergencies.
These drones are equipped with video cameras and will provide an overhead view of an area or incident for ground personnel, provide detailed documentation of crime and accident scenes, and search for lost or missing persons. UAVs can arrive in seconds, providing increased insight and situational awareness.
“The concept is to utilize a UAS to fly to any reported emergency and arrive before police officers on the ground. An Air Support Officer will operate the UAS remotely and immediately communicate with field personnel via radio,” said Alan Reyes, a department spokesperson. “The video feed is also immediately available to every officer in the field via vehicle computer or smartphone application, so officers can see for themselves what they are responding to.”
As the first law enforcement agency in Riverside County to introduce an operational DFR program, the Hemet Police Department is leading the way for drone integration by utilizing Cape-enabled drones to supplement the traditional police response. CAPE is a drone flight control software platform that facilitates local and remote piloting, live streaming anywhere in the world, and evidence-grade video management. By integrating CAPE-equipped drones into the DFR program, officers can respond to and assess active situations sooner and make lifesaving decisions on-scene. Drones may even be used to clear calls when officers aren’t needed, saving the department time and money.
“All video and photo evidence taken during any UAS mission is stored in the same manner as Body Worn Camera (BWC) video and other investigative evidence,” said Glen Brock, HPD’s Captain overseeing the program. “Footage is stored for a period of time consistent with all other evidence related to that type of incident/investigation.”
The HPD policy prohibits drone operators from intentionally recording or transmitting images of any location where a person would have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as inside private buildings, except where authorized by a warrant issued by a judge or in emergencies.
“The ability to evaluate the resources needed, prepare the proper operational response, and increase the safety of our officers and public is the intent of the project and the mission of HPD,” said Chief of Police Eddie Pust. “Hemet is modeling the future of drone integration in Riverside County by utilizing drones as first responders.”
The Hemet Police Department has partnered with Flying Lion to test the Drone as a First Responder (DFR) concept for a period of 30 days. This will allow the department to determine if a DFR program is right for the community moving forward.
Hemet UAS team members undergo regular training in various locations and settings to ensure operational efficiency. All training is documented, and HPD maintains the records, which are subject to review by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). HPD UAS pilots are also subject to FAA regulations related to airspace use and must have valid Part 107 Remote Pilot Licenses.
The Hemet Police Department is committed to maintaining transparency with the public. The Department’s Transparency Portal tracks all drone flights launched by the department, allowing citizens to view recent flight activity and program details, ensuring accountability and trust with the public.

- Aerospace Engineering
The air and structural loads of a 5-ton class light helicopter (LH) rotor in a 2.24 g pull-up maneuver are investigated using a coupling between the computational structural dynamics (CSD) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. The LH rotor is characterized by a five-bladed system with elastomeric bearings and inter-bladed dampers. The periodic trim solution along with the converged CFD/CSD delta airloads obtained in steady-level flight (advance ratio of 0.287) are used to perform the transient CSD maneuver analysis. The resulting vehicle attitude angles and velocity profiles of the aircraft are then prescribed in the quasi-static (QS) CFD maneuver analysis. It is demonstrated that the present QS approach provides an effective means for the maneuver loads’ analysis. The important flow behaviors such as BVI (blade–vortex interaction)-induced oscillations and the negative pitching moment peaks met in maneuver flight are captured nicely with the proposed method. Either the vortex trajectories or the surface pressure distributions are examined to identify the sources of the oscillations. A loose CFD/CSD coupling (LC) is used to predict the blade elastic motions, structural moments, and pitch link loads at the specified maneuver revolution of the rotor and also to correlate these with the transient CSD-based predictions. A reasonable correlation is obtained. The LC results show more pronounced 5P (five per revolution) oscillations on the structural response than those of the CSD-based methods. | aerospace |

The Aviation Week Network Program Excellence awards honor aerospace and defense industry programs that create organizational success through quality processes, people development, tools and leadership. This is the first year L3Harris has competed for the award and is being recognized for the optical telescope program in the Supplier System Design and Development category. NASA designed the Roman Space Telescope to answer questions in areas of dark energy, exoplanets, and infrared astrophysics.
“Quality program management is derived from a culture that strives for excellence,” said Christopher E. Kubasik, Vice Chair and Chief Executive Officer, L3Harris. “This award recognizes the innovation our teams embrace, and that our trusted disruptor approach delivers for our customers.”
L3Harris is responsible for key elements of the Roman Space Telescope, including the primary mirror and hardware for the Wide Field Instrument to accomplish the mission’s core science goals.
The L3Harris team earned the award for their work on the telescope by consistently delivering exceptional performance to NASA. L3Harris excelled during multiple challenges by implementing key execution strategies involving change management and risk management, while embracing and employing predictive metrics.

The All-Electric Aircraft is a major target for the next generation of aircraft to lower consumption of non-propulsive power and thus fuel burn. To eliminate hydraulic circuits, pumps and reservoirs, Electro Mechanical Actuators (EMA) are mandatory but now need to meet cost, reliability and weight requirements from the airframers. ACTUATION 2015 aims to develop and validate a common set of standardised, modular and scalable EMA resources for all actuators (flight control, high lift, main landing gear, door, thrust reverser) and all types of aircraft (business/regional/commercial airplanes and helicopters). Compared to the A320, ACTUATION 2015 will reduce the overall Life Cycle Costs of actuators by 30%, improve reliability by 30% and reduce aircraft weight by 500kg. The project relies on recent advances made in EU and national projects to integrate the required technologies (solid state power distribution, power electronics, operation in harsh conditions, jam tolerant EMA) to overcome the current barriers to EMA and mature EMA technologies to TRL 5. Standardising EMA modules (motors, power drive electronics, mechanics, sensing) will be a key enabler to succeed in achieving cost objectives and developing the supply chain. Standardisation will start during the project with the support of a standardisation body (CEN). The technical approach will be to gather detailed airframes requirements, specify a set of standard modules and develop prototypes for assessment at component and actuator level through rig tests and the virtual validation of modules. In parallel, a unified EMA design process supported by standard methods and tools will also be developed.
ACTUATION 2015 will complement existing projects, notably CLEAN SKY SGO with an EMA solution, and pave the way towards the ACARE 2020 All-Electric Aircraft. ACTUATION 2015 is a 3 year integrated project comprising 53 partners representing the European stakeholders of the actuation and airframe sectors from 12 countries.
ACTUATION2015 Results in brief:
Building on the previous EC projects e.g. MOET (FP6-030861), ACTUATION 2015 will deliver:
- Standards and modular EMA products, tools and methods ready to use with the output of CLEAN SKY SGO, making available the technology needed to develop the All-Electric Aircraft
- New mature actuation technologies (TRL 5 modules):
- Improved sensor technologies
- New control and power management techniques
- Standardised and enhanced Health and Usage Monitoring
- Mechatronics solutions applicable to aircraft environmental conditions
- Common standards and Shop Replaceable Units (SRU) or Line Replaceable Units (LRU):
- Motors, sensors, Power Drive Electronics (PDE), power drive systems
- Communality and scalability in qualification process, providing credit for certification:
- Qualification methods
- Data base on components technologies and processes
Three types of standard modules – PDE, Motors and Mechanics – used to build several actuator systems are jointly specified and then developed to validate:
- The concept of modular standard component applicable to several actuator systems (primary and secondary flight control, high lift, landing gear, thrust reverser and cargo doors), scalable for application to different types of systems and aircraft (from helicopters to business and regional aircraft up to large commercial aircraft)
- Low cost and mature actuation technology for several actuator systems starting with landing gear (the most costly system) and flight control – the core of the systems aircraft architecture

About Nasa Space Apps Challenge
What is Nasa Space Apps Challenge?
The NASA International Space Apps Challenge (Space Apps) is an international hackathon for coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, technologists, and others in cities around the world, where teams engage the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA’s) free and open data to address real-world problems on Earth and in space.
Each October, over the course of two days, Space Apps brings participants from around the world together at hundreds of in-person and virtual local events to solve challenges submitted by NASA experts. After the hackathon, project submissions are judged by space agency experts and winners are selected for one of 10 Global Awards.
Space Apps provides problem-solvers worldwide with NASA’s free and open data, giving teams the opportunity to learn how to use these resources to solve each year’s challenges.
Space Apps also inspire collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking. Our mission is to leverage this interest to encourage the growth and diversity of the next generation of scientists, technologists, designers, storytellers, and engineers.
Since its inception in 2012, NASA’s International Space Apps Challenge has engaged 180,000+ registrants from 150+ countries/territories in using NASA’s open data to build innovative solutions to challenges we face on Earth and in space.

Down Below, a Bellanca "Airbus" has just swaggered to earth with its Curtiss-Wright "Cyclone", 575 h.p. motor, bearing a party of enthusiastic spectators to the sport of kings..."
This is a picture of CF-BTW in 1944. The following comments are from Doug Fawcett who sent me this photograph which he took. In a letter he included, Mr. Fawcett wrote:
"...I worked for Canadian Pacific Air Lines from March 1942 until September 1982. During 1944, 1945 and part of 1946 I was stationed at Fort Smith in Canada's Northwest Territories. I remember CF-BTW quite well. At that time it was based at Yellowknife and used to operate from there to Fort Smith, landing on the Slave River, before Yellowknife had an airport. The mainline flights from Edmonton used to terminate at Smith and passengers etc., for Yellowknife were transferred to BTW.
According to the history of CPAL, CF-BTW was classified as a Bellanca 66-75 Aircruiser and was built in 1938. It was originally purchased by Mackenzie Air Services and was transferred to Canadian Pacific Air Lines in 1943.
It was sold to Central Northern Airways in Manitoba on 19 May 1947.
We operated BTW on floats in the summer and skiis in the winter.
I am enclosing a picture I took of BTW at Fort Smith in the winter of 1944, while it was undergoing a changeover from wheels to skiis..."
BTW had a Pratt & Whitney Hornet engine of 875 horsepower, 2 wing tanks of 125 imperial gallons each. Our average payload was 3,000 to 3,500 pounds. Type of loads varied from mining equipment to fish, tourists, etc. I have had over 3,000 pounds of dynamite on one load and on another, a 3,200 pound generator that could not be broken down I flew in to a mine site.
This was on floats so we had to make a ramp out of timbers to go from the dock to the cabin. It then took 6 men to winch it into the aircraft. With all this weight at the back we almost sank the airplane. The floats had no spreader bars and it was a long way from the cabin to the floats so we carried a folding set of stairs in the cabin.
As standard equipment we always carried a 200 pound emergency ration box, plus an axe,ropes, paddles, and in winter, wing covers, engine covers, snow shoes, and 3 blow pots to heat the engine and also always our sleeping bag.
I was based at Lynn Lake for 2 years and flew BTW in the winter and a (Conso?) PBY in the summer. Lynn Lake is about 600 miles north of Winnipeg and in the winter the days are very short and cold (-30F to -50F degrees). By the time you got the engine heated, all the covers off and the aircraft loaded, you felt you had already done a day's work. Even in cold weather you could have slush form under the deep snow. Once when on a fish haul I could not get airborne due to deep snow and slush underneath. I tried to taxi back to the camp and got stuck in the slush that was over the stub wing. We had to use dog teams to haul 3,000 pounds of fish back to camp a mile away. It took hours to dig the airplane out and cut poles to make a ramp to taxi out. I had to stay at the camp overnite and leave early the next morning.
The aircraft had no flaps and inside a standard type yoke with a large round central control wheel (like a truck) and throttle quadrant on the left pilot panel. The elevator trim was a large crank on the ceiling like a Norseman flap handle, 125 turns, if I remember.
I do not agree that the Bellanca was tricky on floats, in fact, I thought it was beautiful on floats. You usually needed a bit more room to dock and take off due to the size and weight but it handled well.
Bill Eaton, Winnipeg, MB
I recall your asking about dog teams when we were stuck in the slush. Commercial fishing is big business in the north and in the 50's and 60's, native fishermen did not have power toboggans so they all used dog teams.
Bill Eaton, Winnipeg, MB
He told me how the pilots liked flying the Bellanca's, they felt the planes were easy to fly and often would give the wheel to the mechanic to fly while the pilot napped.
Most times the planes transported spare engines as cargo, though they also flew passengers and other cargo as well. He reports having memories of few problems with the engines or any other mechanical problems.
He was stationed at Duncan Field, now a part of Kelly AFB.
Wayne Allen, Hanmer, Ont.
He wrote in another letter:
About winter operations; it was used a few seasons with TransAir but the
engine was just too unreliable and it was just not worth it to be forced down
in winter for engine repairs. It used to blow cylinders often! Also there
wasn't enough winter work. It could all be done by Noorduyn Norsemen.
In summer this was just a spare aircraft. Used as loads for it came up. When I was flying it I also flew a Norseman or Cessna 180 regularly so BTW only accounted for about 1/2 of my summer flying time. We used it mostly for fish haul and mail runs, also bulky loads that wouldn't fit any any other aircraft. Like 16 foot drywall, septic tanks, telephone base panels, etc., etc. Most of the trips were out of Pickle Lake, north within 200 miles of Pickle Lake. Home Base was Sioux Lookout.
In my opinion the pilot could have landed the C-27 after he had an engine failure, but he chose to jump. The C-27 was a very good airplane and was flown for several years in Central and South America. The C-27 was replaced by the C-33, Douglas, in 1936.
Lt. Col. Lucas J. Ashcroft, San Antonio, TX
I joined the 3rd Transport Squadron on 10/10/39 and the C-27's were already
gone by then. We had Douglas C-33's and C-39's then and the Squadron seemed to
stay busy hauling overhauled engines from the San Antonio Air Depot to Air
Bases everywhere and packing up engines in need of overhaul and bringing them
back to the depot. Of course they hauled a lot of other items other than
engines... An interesting sidelight to the C-27 would be the history of many of
the pilots flying it the C-33 and the C-39.
A lof of them were enlisted men, some only privates.
Actually, they were officers in the Air Corps Reserve, but the number of officers on active duty were so limited by the military budgets, that they enlisted as privates or some other enlisted ranks, and were able to continue their flying in military aircraft. Sometimes we would have an Aircraft Commander who was a private with a captain or major as co-pilot. Most of the enlisted pilots were Tech or Master Sergeants by WW II and some of them wound up as high ranking officers.

More than 1.5 million people visit the center each year. While most visitors come to see the massive rockets and spacecraft on display, there is much more to see and do at the Johnson Space Center. With over 100 exhibits, educational programs, and special events, there is something for everyone at the center.
The average person will need about 2-3 hours to tour the Johnson Space Center.
How much time do I need for NASA Houston?
Space Center Houston is a great place to explore and learn about space! There is so much to see and do, and the visitor info page on the website is a great resource to help you plan your visit. We recommend allocating four to five hours to see everything, but you could easily spend an entire day here.
Kennedy Space Complex is a full-day experience, so plan on spending 6-8 hours. There is a lot to see and do, and you’ll want to make sure you have enough time to explore everything. Plus, there are often events and presentations that occur throughout the day, so you’ll want to be sure to catch them all.
Is it worth visiting NASA Space Center Houston
The inside of the building contains many exhibits, including one about Mars, the international space station, and the starship gallery. All of them are worth checking out, but the starship gallery one was my favorite. It was really cool to see all the different types of starships and learn about their different functions. I would definitely recommend checking out this exhibit if you’re interested in space travel or just want to learn more about starships.
I recommend picking the earliest possible admission, which is 10:00 AM. This gives you the most time and flexibility, as tickets are valid for an entire day, regardless of the time you book.
What not to miss at Houston space Center?
Space Center Houston is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the area. With so many different exhibits and attractions, there is something for everyone. Here are 13 must-see exhibits and attractions at Space Center Houston:
1. SpaceX Falcon 9 Starship Gallery: This exhibit is a must-see for any space enthusiast. It features a replica of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, as well as other interactive displays.
2. Astronaut Gallery: The Astronaut Gallery is a great way to learn about the men and women who have dedicated their lives to space exploration. With over 30 different exhibits, there is plenty to see and do.
3. International Space Station Gallery: The International Space Station Gallery is a must-see for anyone interested in space travel. It features a replica of the space station, as well as interactive displays about the science of space travel.
4. Space Expert Tour: The Space Expert Tour is a great way to learn about the inner workings of Space Center Houston. With over 30 different stops, the tour is a great way to see everything the center has to offer.

The dress code at NASA is business casual. Jobs in their laboratories adhere to the safety codes of each environment. For example, in a NASA lab, loose clothes and open-toed shoes are not allowed.
How long do people stay at NASA?
Though the average mission length for an astronaut is six months or 182 days, the amount of time varies based on their mission. For example, Scott Kelly’s recent 340-day mission was nearly double the average. Other missions may be shorter or even much longer, such as the 570-day mission that ISS astronauts have been performing since 2015. No matter the length, these missions provide valuable experience and data that helps us understand both the challenges and the possibilities of long-term spaceflight.
The Houston Space Center is responsible for controlling the space capsules or shuttles once they are in orbit. This has been the case for over a year now.
What is the difference between Space Center Houston and Johnson Space Center
There may be some confusion about the difference between the Space Center Houston and NASA’s Johnson Space Center. In a nutshell, Space Center Houston is the official museum and Visitor Center of NASA’s Johnson Space Center. The Johnson Space Center is where both the Mission Control and training facility for astronauts are located.
The Centre is open from 10 am to 5 pm. We suggest 3-4 hours to enjoy the galleries and Planetarium show. You can add 60-90 minutes for a light lunch, or afternoon tea, as well as free time in the shop.
Which NASA Space Center is best to visit?
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a great place to learn about space exploration and see some of the amazing technology used in the NASA space program. You can see the real space shuttle Atlantis, touch a moon rock, meet a veteran NASA astronaut, tour a NASA spaceflight facility and get an up-close view of a real Saturn V moon rocket all in the same day! There is also a museum with exhibits on the history of the space program, and a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs.
The Johnson Space Center (JSC) is the home of NASA’s astronaut corps and mission control. JSC is located in southeast Houston, in the Clear Lake area. The center occupies 1,620 acres, and is home to over 13,000 employees. JSC is responsible for all aspects of human spaceflight, including astronaut training, spacecraft development, and mission control.
How long is NASA bus tour
The return bus tour for the Saturn V exhibition stops after about an hour, so make sure to allow at least 2 hours for the tour. The exhibition is definitely worth spending some time at, as there is a lot to see. The return bus ride only takes 15 minutes.
JSC is home to NASA’s astronaut corps and is responsible for training and preparing them for missions. JSC also manages all Flight Control and Mission Control activities for human spaceflight missions.
How much are tickets to Space Center Houston?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to deal with anxiety will vary from person to person. However, some general tips on how to deal with anxiety include:
-Identifying and addressing the source of your anxiety
-Learning relaxation and stress-management techniques
-Eating a healthy diet
-Getting adequate sleep
Counseling or therapy may also be helpful for some people in dealing with anxiety.
If your group is opting to bring a picnic lunch, please keep in mind that no outside food or drink is allowed inside the center. That means all food and drinks will need to be consumed before entering or kept in a designated area outside. We hope this doesn’t cause any inconvenience and hope you enjoy your time at the center!
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including your individual interests and how much time you have available. However, as a general guide, we recommend allowing at least 2-3 hours to explore NASA Houston and its many exhibits.
Nasa Houston is a great place to visit and spend some time. It is a fascinating place with so much to see and learn. There is no set amount of time to spend there, but try to at least spend a couple of hours so you can fully enjoy and appreciate everything on offer. | aerospace |

The emission is shown in false color with black as low values, green as medium, and white as high. These emissions track the recombination of atomic nitrogen and oxygen produced on the dayside, and reveal the circulation patterns of the atmosphere. The splotches, streaks and other irregularities in the image are indications that atmospheric patterns are extremely variable on Mars’ nightside. The inset shows the viewing geometry on the planet. MAVEN’s Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph obtained this image of Mars on May 4, 2016 during late winter in Mars Southern Hemisphere.Credits: NASA/MAVEN/University of Colorado
New global images of Mars from the MAVEN mission show the ultraviolet glow from the Martian atmosphere in unprecedented detail, revealing dynamic, previously invisible behavior. They include the first images of “nightglow” that can be used to show how winds circulate at high altitudes. Additionally, dayside ultraviolet imagery from the spacecraft shows how ozone amounts change over the seasons and how afternoon clouds form over giant Martian volcanoes. The images were taken by the Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph (IUVS) on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission (MAVEN).
“MAVEN obtained hundreds of such images in recent months, giving some of the best high-resolution ultraviolet coverage of Mars ever obtained,” said Nick Schneider of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Schneider is presenting these results Oct. 19 at the American Astronomical Society Division for Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California, which is being held jointly with the European Planetary Science Congress.
Nightside images show ultraviolet (UV) “nightglow” emission from nitric oxide (abbreviated NO). Nightglow is a common planetary phenomenon in which the sky faintly glows even in the complete absence of external light. Mars’ nightside atmosphere emits light in the ultraviolet due to chemical reactions that start on Mars’ dayside. Ultraviolet light from the sun breaks down molecules of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, and the resulting atoms are carried around the planet by high-altitude wind patterns that encircle the planet. On the nightside, these winds bring the atoms down to lower altitudes where nitrogen and oxygen atoms collide to form nitric oxide molecules. The recombination releases extra energy, which comes out as ultraviolet light.
Images from MAVEN’s Imaging UltraViolet Spectrograph were used to make this movie of rapid cloud formation on Mars on July 9-10, 2016. The ultraviolet colors of the planet have been rendered in false color, to show what we would see with ultraviolet-sensitive eyes. The movie uses four MAVEN images to show about 7 hours of Mars rotation during this period, and interleaves simulated views that would be seen between the four images. Mars’ day is similar to Earth’s, so the movie shows just over a quarter day. The left part of the planet is in morning and the right side in afternoon. Mars’ prominent volcanoes, topped with white clouds, can be seen moving across the disk. Mars’ tallest volcano, Olympus Mons, appears as a prominent dark region near the top of the images, with a small white cloud at the summit that grows during the day. Olympus Mons appears dark because the volcano rises up above much of the hazy atmosphere which makes the rest of the planet appear lighter. Three more volcanoes appear in a diagonal row, with their cloud cover merging to span up to a thousand miles by the end of the day. These images are particularly interesting because they show how rapidly and extensively the clouds topping the volcanoes form in the afternoon. Similar processes occur at Earth, with the flow of winds over mountains creating clouds. Afternoon cloud formation is a common occurrence in the American West, especially during the summer.Credits: NASA/MAVEN/University of Colorado
Scientists predicted NO nightglow at Mars, and prior missions detected its presence, but MAVEN has returned the first images of this phenomenon in the Martian atmosphere. Splotches and streaks appearing in these images occur where NO recombination is enhanced by winds. Such concentrations are clear evidence of strong irregularities in Mars’ high altitude winds and circulation patterns. These winds control how Mars’ atmosphere responds to its very strong seasonal cycles. These first images will lead to an improved determination of the circulation patterns that control the behavior of the atmosphere from approximately 37 to 62 miles (about 60 to 100 kilometers) high.
Dayside images show the atmosphere and surface near Mars’ south pole in unprecedented ultraviolet detail. They were obtained as spring comes to the southern hemisphere. Ozone is destroyed when water vapor is present, so ozone accumulates in the winter polar region where the water vapor has frozen out of the atmosphere. The images show ozone lasting into spring, indicating that global winds are inhibiting the spread of water vapor from the rest of the planet into winter polar regions. Wave patterns in the images, revealed by UV absorption from ozone concentrations, are critical to understanding the wind patterns, giving scientists an additional means to study the chemistry and global circulation of the atmosphere.
MAVEN observations also show afternoon cloud formation over the four giant volcanoes on Mars, much as clouds form over mountain ranges on Earth. IUVS images of cloud formation are among the best ever taken showing the development of clouds throughout the day. Clouds are a key to understanding a planet’s energy balance and water vapor inventory, so these observations will be valuable in understanding the daily and seasonal behavior of the atmosphere.

Three more volcanoes appear in a diagonal row, with their cloud cover (white areas near center) merging to span up to a thousand miles by the end of the day.Credits: NASA/MAVEN/University of Colorado
“MAVEN’s elliptical orbit is just right,” said Justin Deighan of the University of Colorado, Boulder, who led the observations. “It rises high enough to take a global picture, but still orbits fast enough to get multiple views as Mars rotates over the course of a day.”
