Former Air Force fighter pilot Ron Standerfer pens “The Eagle’s Last Flight”
GULF STREAM, Fla.– Experience military life during the Cold War as seen through the eyes of a strong-willed, resourceful fighter pilot in Ron Standerfer’s book, “The Eagle’s Last Flight: A Fighter Pilot’s Story.”
Taking inspiration from his own life, Standerfer tells the story of Skip O’Neill, an Air Force fighter pilot who, though he appeared to be an ordinary young man, was destined to live an extraordinary life.
Skip was just 22 when he volunteered to participate in an atomic test. He was certain the government would not put him in harm’s way, but he was wrong. After serving his country with courage and honor for 27 years (1954 – 1981), Skip learned that he was dying of leukemia.
True-to-life and filled with realistic dialogue and relatable characters, “The Eagle’s Last Flight” will appeal to a broad audience as it pays homage to the brave men and women of the Air Force.
Praise for “The Eagle’s Last Flight”:
“This is one of the best books about flying fighters, life in the military, war and the humans who do it, all with the best of characters shrouded in history, mixed with realism, sex, joy, tragedy, sadness, mystery. I could feel the Gs, taste the martinis and smell the perfume. I felt like I knew the characters, or someone just like them, and saw every fighter pilot in ‘Skip’ and every fighter pilot’s wife in ‘Christy.’”
—Former CNN military analyst and author, Major General Don Shepherd, USAF (Ret.)

The orbiter will orbit 100km from the lunar floor, whereas lander (Vikram) will do the delicate touchdown close to the south pole of moon, and Rover (Pragyan) will conduct in-situ experiments. The orbiter and lander modules can be interfaced mechanically and stacked collectively as an built-in module and accommodated contained in the GSLV MK-III launch automobile, ISRO has stated, including the rover is housed contained in the lander.
“Thirteen Indian payloads (8 on orbiter, 3 on lander and 2 on rover) and one passive experiment from NASA,” ISRO stated in a mission replace, however didn’t specify them or their goal. The spacecraft with a mass of three.eight tonnes has three modules – Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) and Rover (Pragyan). All of the modules are preparing for Chandrayaan-2 launch through the window of July 9 to July 16, 2019, with an anticipated Moon touchdown on September 6, the house company had stated earlier this month.
ISRO Chairman Okay Sivan had stated in January, “We are going to land at a place where nobody else has gone-the Moon’s South Pole… it is unexplored region.” Chandrayaan-2 mission, is a complicated model of the earlier Chandrayaan-1 mission about 10 years in the past. Chandrayaan-1 had 11 payloads- 5 from India, three from Europe, 2 from USA and 1 from Bulgaria, and the mission had the credit score for discovery of water on the lunar floor. The 1.four tonne spacecraft was launched utilizing PSLV and the orbiter had orbited 100 km from the lunar floor.
After launch into earth-bound orbit by GSLV MK-III, the built-in module will attain Moon orbit utilizing orbiter propulsion module, and subsequently, lander will separate from the orbiter and delicate land on the predetermined web site near lunar South Pole. Additional, the rover will roll out for finishing up scientific experiments on the lunar floor, ISRO has stated, noting that devices are additionally mounted on lander and orbiter for finishing up scientific experiments. | aerospace |

Gunning the powerful Rolls-Royce engine of his P-51 Mustang fighter — named Margo — as he flew low over the trees, the American watched impassively as enemy anti-aircraft fire rose up from the ground and tore into his cockpit.
‘It blew the heck out of the airplane,’ he recalls today, seven decades later. ‘The damn shell came up through the floor and went out the top of the canopy. Fire came up out of the floor, I pulled back on the stick to get some altitude and prepared to bail out. When the canopy popped and I came out, I was only at 800ft.’

As long as you over the age of 13.5 you will be able to take to the skies in one of our three aircraft.
All cadets in the ATC are entitled to at least one Air Experience Flight (AEF) each year in our primary training aircraft, the Grob Tutor 115E. Within these 30-45minute flights, cadets will learn the aircrafts basic controls, as well as being given the opportunity to take over and fly the aircraft themselves. These flights are designed to give cadets a very basic overview of what it is like to fly. While on an AEF you may also be given the opportunity to partake in some aerobatic flying. In some instances, cadets have even performed the aerobatic manoeuvres themselves. Aerobatics can include anything from stall turns to barrel rolls; loop the loops to a zero gravity test, all safely performed in the aerobatic Grob Tutor 115E.
For those cadets who are 16 and wanting to go the extra mile, the ATC offers a number of flying and gliding scholarships. There are a number of scholarships available to the cadets, ranging from weekend courses across a number of months, to condensed courses in Scotland over just 2 weeks. The main scholarship is the solo gliding scholarship, completed in our motor glider; the Vigilant.
Within this scholarship, cadets’ knowledge is tested and taken a step further from that of the AEF flights. They are expected to learn all the controls and instruments in the aircraft as well as the rules of the air. They will be shown by their instructors how to take off and land the aircraft, and once confident will be allowed to try it for themselves. The final activity is learning how to spot and react to emergency situations. Although you have more chance of winning the lottery than being in a plane crash, cadets have to be prepared for every eventuality. They will be taught how to land with no engine, and how to land with limited instruments. Once the instructors are satisfied with the cadet’s knowledge they will allow them to complete a 10 minute solo circuit around the airfield, using all the knowledge they would have acquired while training.
Another available gliding scholarship is a two week course based up in Scotland. This course is a step up from the previous solo scholarship. Here, cadets will complete more solo circuits around an airfield, but will also have to learn to take off, fly and land in more challenging weather and cross-winds. | aerospace |

Space.com reports: Martian seismicity falls between that of the moon and that of Earth, [says InSight principal investigator Bruce Banerdt, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory]. "In fact, it's probably close to the kind of seismic activity you would expect to find away from the [tectonic] plate boundaries on Earth and away from highly deformed areas," he said. InSight's observations will help scientists better understand how rocky planets such as Mars, Earth and Venus form and evolve, mission team members have said. The mission's initial science returns, which were published today (Feb. 21) in six papers in the journals Nature Geoscience and Nature Communications, show that InSight is on track to meet that long-term goal, Banerdt said.
The new studies cover the first 10 months of InSight's tenure on Mars, during which the lander detected 174 seismic events. These quakes came in two flavors. One hundred and fifty of them were shallow, small-magnitude tremors whose vibrations propagated through the Martian crust. The other 24 were a bit stronger and deeper, with origins at various locales in the mantle, InSight team members said. (But even those bigger quakes weren't that powerful; they landed in the magnitude 3 to 4 range. Here on Earth, quakes generally must be at least magnitude 5.5 to damage buildings.) That was the tremor tally through September 2019. InSight has been busy since then as well; its total quake count now stands at about 450, Banerdt said. And all of this shaking does indeed originate from Mars itself, he added; as far as the team can tell, none of the vibrations were caused by meteorites hitting the Red Planet. So, there's a lot going on beneath the planet's surface. What's interesting to note is that unlike Earth, where most quakes are caused by tectonic plates sliding around, Mars' quakes are caused by the long-term cooling of the planet since its formation 4.5 billion years ago. "As the planet cools, it contracts, and then the brittle outer layers then have to fracture in order to sort of maintain themselves on the surface," Banerdt said. "That's kind of the long-term source of stresses."
"A wealth of information can be gleaned from InSight's quake measurements," reports Space.com. "For example, analyses of how the seismic waves move through the Martian crust suggest there are small amounts of water mixed in with the rock, mission team members said." They can't say one way or the other whether there are large underground reservoirs of water at this point, but the research is convincing.
The new papers also mention a variety of other discoveries as well. "For example, InSight is the first mission ever to tote a magnetometer to the Martian surface, and that instrument detected a local magnetic field about 10 times stronger than would be expected based on orbital measurements," the report says. "InSight is also taking a wealth of weather data, measuring pressure many times per second and temperature once every few seconds. This information helps the mission team better understand environmental noise that could complicate interpretations of the seismic observations, but it also has considerable stand-alone value."

His services were today. His name was Dr. Guy Baldwin, although to many he was simply known as “Doc.” He was a family physician, an aviation medical examiner, and an experienced pilot. He’d been flying for over thirty-five years and had logged more than 4,000 hours in the air. In the past few years he had taken up acrobatic flying, and owned an Extra 300L, apparently one of the top acrobatic planes in the world.
I had the good fortune to go up in that plane with him not that long ago. It was a hell of a time for an adrenaline junkie like me. We did all sorts of stunts, and he even allowed me to take the controls. In my first-ever ride in a small plane I did a barrel roll and a loop completely on my own (though I almost blacked out for a moment when I came out of the loop too steeply.)
Guy was one of the most generous men I’ve known. Although he was one of the more prominent physicians and pilots in Tulsa, he routinely invited friends to fly with him, and I was one of those fortunate ones. We also enjoyed bowling and cookouts.
Last year he called up one day and wanted to fly to Ft. Worth and have lunch at Joe T. Garcia’s. He was that kind of spontaneous guy. His Cessna Turbo210 was equipped with an easy-to-read GPS navigation system and he let me fly. I piloted us most of the way back, even though he could just as easily have turned on the autopilot. 😉
One of Guy’s most passionate concerns was his time with the Make-A-Wish foundation of Oklahoma. He donated time, money, and flights to this organization, and even sat on its board of directors.
Last week he was flying in an air show in Tucumcari, N.M. when he apparently lost control of his plane during a routine stunt. Unable to completely pull out of a loop, he hit the ground at a high rate of speed and died on impact. He is survived by his wife, Felice, and their two children, Hunter and Brittny.
Although Guy was a bit older than me, I will miss his friendship and generosity, as will many others. His service was attended by more than 800 people, and he was honored with a missing man formation of T-6 aircraft that was flown over the Tulsa Air and Space Museum (which he also generously supported.) While death is always tragic, at least he left this world doing what he enjoyed the most.
Thanks for everything, Guy. | aerospace |

The delay was announced as half of Boeing’s second quarter outcomes launched on Wednesday (US time), which showed a internet loss US$2.94 billion for the second quarter of calendar 2019.
Muilenburg stated GE Aviation was working via “some challenges” with the GE9X engine that may power the 777-X family of aircraft.
“Based on GE’s latest assessment on what it will take to address these challenges, we are currently projecting that first flight will occur in early 2020 rather than in 2019 as we have previously mentioned,” Muilenburg advised reporters and the financial group throughout Boeing’s second quarter results conference name.
“This scheduled flight is obviously disappointing given how well the aircraft has been performing in preflight tests and that we are on track on non-engine activities.”
Presently, Boeing has two 777-9X flight check plane being put by means of preflight exams. Muilenburg stated the aircraft was preforming properly, with intermediate gauntlet and preliminary taxi checks accomplished through the three months to June 30 2019.
Additional, Boeing stated the main target was presently on last techniques, propulsion, and plane degree exams.
Boeing 777X First Taxi Check
Our first #777X flight check airplane made its runway debut! Our groups carried out a collection of low-speed taxi checks, marking the first time this aircraft moved by itself power. That is one of many exams before the 777X takes to the skies later this yr.
Posted by The Boeing Company on Friday, 21 June 2019
The manufacturer had been concentrating on a mid-2019 timeframe for first flight of the 777-X household of aircraft. Nevertheless, issues with the engine’s compressor that emerged in current occasions has pressured Boeing to regulate the timetable.
While Boeing was nonetheless concentrating on 2020 for first delivery of the 777-9X – the first of two variants in the 777-X family of aircraft – Muilenburg stated the challenges with the engine was “putting risk on the overall test schedule”.
“While we continue to target 2020 for first delivery of the 777-9 the engine issue has added significant risk to the schedule,” Muilenburg stated.
“We continue to work closely with GE as well as explore opportunities to improve the schedule such as leveraging our system integration labs and additional airplane ground testing as we strive to meet this delivery target in a manner consistent with our commitment to safety.”
“We continue to expect 777 delivery rates to be approximately 3.5 aircraft per month in 2019. Given the pressure around 777X first delivery timeline, we are reassessing the 2020 skyline. In light of the strong demand for our freighter line, we intend to mitigate some of the impact by producing more 777 current-generation freighters in 2020.”
The 777-X is a two-aircraft household
Launched in 2013, the 777-X household of aircraft comprise the 777-8X and 777-9X variants. The pair is an upgrade from Boeing’s in-production 777-200LR and and 777-300ER.
As well as to the brand new GE Aviation GE9X engines, options of the 777-X household included composite wings with folding wingtips to keep its Code E score at airports, in addition to in-cabin enhancements corresponding to bigger overhead stowage and a wider cross part.
The 777-9X is 77 metres in length and has a total wingspan of 72 metres with its wingtips extended. It’s succesful of flying 7,285nm when carrying 426 passengers in a two-class configuration, in accordance to Boeing figures.
It has been pitched as the perfect alternative for the very giant plane phase of the market, especially in mild of Airbus’s determination to cancel the A380 program.
Boeing can also be constructing the 777-8X, which continues to be in improvement. The Boeing website lists the aircraft as having a variety of 8,690nm and a passenger capability of 384 passengers in a two-class format. The plane was anticipated to enter service in 2022.
The 777-8X was considered a possible alternative for the in-service Boeing 777-300ER. It’s also a candidate for Qantas’s Challenge Sunrise challenge to Airbus and Boeing to have an plane succesful of operating nonstop between Australia’s east coast and New York and London.
Airbus’s candidate is the A350 platform.
The 777-X program, which had acquired 344 orders at June 30 2019 according to the Boeing web site, is up towards the A350-1000 within the very giant plane phase of the market.
Boeing aiming to submit 737 MAX ultimate certification package deal by September
In the meantime, Muilenburg stated the corporate was persevering with to handle a software program problem america Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found when evaluating Boeing’s software program fix for the grounded 737 MAX.
The Boeing chief government described the difficulty as a selected condition of flight that was “unrelated” to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), an anti-stall software that has been implicated by investigators as a think about fatal crashes of Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 and Lion Air flight 610 in March 2019 and October 2018, respectively.
“We agreed with the FAA’s decision and we are currently working on the software changes to address this requirement,” Muilenburg stated.
“In addition, we are working with the FAA and different regulators to complete as many parts of the certification course of as attainable in parallel with the development of the software replace.
“We will submit our final certification package to the FAA once we have satisfied all of their requirements, which we currently estimate will be in the September time frame.”
And while Boeing based mostly its second quarter financial results on the idea that regulatory approval in america and elsewhere would start early in fourth quarter 2019, the corporate careworn the actual timing and circumstances of the return to service of the 737 MAX can be decided by the regulatory authorities and will differ from its personal forecasts.
“If any of the timeline assumptions change significantly from a start of the fourth quarter return to service, then we’ll have to evaluate alternatives,” Muilenburg stated.
“And those alternatives could include different production rates. They could include a temporary shutdown of the line, not something we want to do, but an alternative that we have to prepare for, I think it’s a smart part of our thorough and disciplined process here to make sure we’re covering all scenarios.”
Muilenburg stated Boeing was “working tirelessly” to meet the requirements of the FAA and different international aviation regulators.
“The process is dynamic and involves constant dialogue on outstanding questions and open issues that will continue in the days and weeks ahead,” Muilenburg stated.
“We are committed to working with these regulators to satisfy all of the requirements and to ensure the 737 MAX’s safe return to service.”
Muilenburg stated the corporate had carried out “a dozen customer conferences with MAX operators around the world and nearly 225 simulator sessions to develop test and demonstrate the software”.
“In addition, we conduct weekly technical calls with our customers worldwide to ensure that all the appropriate steps are being taken so that the fleet is fully prepared to return to service when the grounding is lifted,” Muilenburg stated.
737 MAX grounding pushes Boeing to second quarter loss
The worldwide grounding of the 737 MAX since March has taken a heavy toll on Boeing’s bottom line.
Boeing reported a internet loss of US$2.94 billion for the three months to June 30 2019, slumping into the pink from internet revenue of US$2.20 billion within the prior corresponding period.
Income fell 35 per cent to US$15.75 billion, Boeing stated in a regulatory submitting on Wednesday (US time).
It was the most important quarterly loss in the firm’s historical past and the first quarterly loss in a decade.
The end result was impacted by a beforehand announced after-tax cost of US$4.9 billion in relation to the grounding of the 737 MAX.
Boeing delivered 90 plane within the three months to June 30 2019, comprising 24 737s, two 747s, 10 767s, 12 777s and 42 787s. The full was less than half of the 194 deliveries achieved similar quarter a yr in the past.
It was a a lot brighter picture at Boeing’s other two enterprise models.
Boeing Defence, Area and Security posted an eight per cent improve in revenue to US$6.61 billion amid greater volumes across by-product aircraft, satellites, and weapons”. Earnings jumped 159 per cent to US$975 million.
“During the quarter, Defense, Space & Security received contracts for MH-47G Block II Chinook for the US Army Special Operations, F/A-18 service life modification for the US Navy, Joint Direct Attack Munition for the US Air Force, and Wideband Global Satellite Communication for the US Air Force,” Boeing stated.
“Significant milestones achieved during the quarter included completion of the first T-X Trainer flight test on contract with the US Air Force and the final parachute test for the Commercial Crew spacecraft.”
Meanwhile, Boeing International Providers achieved an 11 per cent improve in revenue to US$four.54 billion, which was “primarily driven by the acquisition of Boeing Distribution Services, Inc. (formerly KLX) and higher international government services volume”. Earnings have been up 14 per cent raise at US$687 million.
“During the quarter, Global Services was awarded Performance Based Logistics contracts for AH-64 Apache for the US Army and KC-767A Tanker for the Italian Air Force,” Boeing stated.
“At the Paris Air Show, Global Services signed commitments with ASL Aviation Holdings and GECAS for up to 45 737-800 converted freighters and announced digital solution agreements with Delta Air Lines and JetBlue Airways.” | aerospace |

The Parker Solar Probe will explore the surface of the Sun like never before. A team of scientists have been putting the spacecraft through its paces by blasting it with the heat from old IMAX cinema projectors.
The Parker Solar Probe – a new spacecraft that will get up close and personal with the Sun – has passed its final test and is ready to make the journey to our host star.
Scientists at the University of Michigan have been testing the endurance of one of its key pieces of equipment using an unusual method: blasting it with the heat and light of old IMAX projectors.
The Parker Solar Probe is a $1.5 billion NASA mission due to launch in summer 2018. Part of the mission will be to examine the powerful outbursts that occur on the surface of the Sun.
Read more about the Sun from BBC Sky at Night Magazine:
The Sun is a dynamic body, and outbursts of plasma known as coronal mass ejections can sometimes interfere with satellite electronics, GPS and radio communications on Earth.
Part of the Parker Solar Probe mission will be to gain a better understanding of these processes, enabling scientists on Earth to anticipate potential disruptions.

Fly Me to the Sun
Why more than 1 million people put their names on a mission to our nearest star
This summer, a nasa spacecraft will launch into space from the coast of Florida, headed for the sun. After making several flybys of Venus to slow itself down, the Parker Solar Probe will come within 4 million miles of the sun’s scorching surface, closer than any spacecraft in history.
Nasa is never one to miss an opportunity to drum up publicity for upcoming space missions, especially the less flashy ones. Sending something to study the star we see every day may sound less thrilling, for example, than launching a mission to find exoplanets around 200,000 stars. So in March, the space agency announced a little campaign to promote the Parker Solar Probe: Send us your names and we’ll put them on a microchip inside a spacecraft bound for the sun. (They even got Star Trek actor William Shatner to help promote it.)
The call for names, which closed at the end of last week, received more than 1.1 million submissions, according to a spokesperson at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory, which designed and built the Parker Solar Probe. On the surface, the campaign was little more than a quirky act to get the public interested in space exploration. But considered more deeply, it represents the human desire to find ways to outlive ourselves and our bodies, to be remembered once our time here on Earth is up.

The Differences Between Air Ambulance Companies
If you are ever faced with needing an air ambulance, you’ll want to choose only the best air ambulance company available. You want a company that’s professional, caring, safe and passionate about providing you or your patient the best care possible.
The differences that set air medical transport companies apart can be staggering. First Jet Rescue Air Ambulance uses jets. Not just any kind of vintage jets either. Jet Rescue Air Ambulance is committed to patient comfort, safety and outstanding medical care.
That’s why we transport our patients in Learjets 35’s and Learjets 55’s that are configured with the best medical equipment available. Our fleet of Learjets are owned, operated and maintained by Jet Rescue. This is a key difference between Jet Rescue and the competition. Other air ambulance companies charter aircraft, any aircraft from any charter company. Other air ambulance companies are merely brokers trying to get the cheapest aircraft to maximize profit.
This is important, because this so called air ambulances have no access to the history, maintenance and safety record of a chartered or brokered aircraft.
By having our own aircraft, we maintain them mechanically and know them inside and out. Jet Rescue is proud to have a perfect safety record as a result of this.
Why modern Long –Range Medical Jets Are Better Than Prop Planes or vintage Jets?
Speed is key when you are transporting an ill or injured patient.
There’s really no comparison between the speed of our Learjets and other companies prop planes. Prop planes fly slower and lower.
The result is a bumpy flight for the patient.
What about other vintage jets utilized in the industry?
Older Jets have smaller cabins making it imposible to treat a critical patient in case the patient deteriorates in flight . Critical interventions like CPR or intubation cannot be performed and are needed to save the patient´s life.Also Older jets utilize more fuel having a shorter range. Typical range for this aircraft is 1000 miles.
Our Long-range Learjet 35 and 55 can fly at 45,000 feet and speeds of 451 knots. With a range of around 2,000 miles we can fly anywhere, anytime to international or domestic destinations.
Jet Rescue Air Ambulance is committed to what we do. You won’t find this type passion and commitment anywhere else. We want the entire medical transport to be as easy and comfortable as possible.
In addition to flying you in modern Medical Learjets, we communicate with your insurance company, we arrange your ground transportation, luggage transfer and more. Every aspect is covered and thoughtfully planned out on your behalf. We assure that our medical flight crew is at your side every step of the way. This is our commitment to you so that you can focus all of your attention on your patient or loved one and not be worried about the details of the air medical flight.

Enhancing the aviation security outcome - the way forward
The development of aviation security measures has focussed on protecting jet turbine powered aircraft used for RPT services. When these measures were mandated jet turbine powered aircraft were significantly and consistently larger than the turbo propeller aircraft then operating in Australia. For example, in 2003, the smallest jet aircraft operating domestic RPT services was the 100-seat Fokker F28; while the largest turbo propeller aircraft was the 50 seat Dash 8-300. As a result passenger and baggage screening were mandated for jet turbine powered aircraft, but not for turbo propeller powered aircraft providing RPT services.
Advances in technology and changes in market dynamics have seen a change in this structure. The introduction of smaller jet turbine powered aircraft and the increases in passenger capacity of turbo propeller powered aircraft have blurred the difference between types of aircraft. The difference in seating capacity, size and speed between the smallest RPT jet aircraft and the largest RPT turbo propeller aircraft operating in Australia has narrowed significantly. Also, a number of aircraft manufacturers have foreshadowed development of turbo propeller powered aircraft with seating capacity in excess of 90 passengers. The Government believes differential security treatment of jet turbine and turbo propeller powered aircraft is no longer appropriate and will therefore change the basic determinant in triggering security requirements in the aviation sector.
Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) as primary determinant of aviation security settings
It is essential to establish a clear and transparent means of distinguishing a threshold for the implementation of security measures at airports and for aircraft. The Government has reviewed a number of attributes to determine the most appropriate trigger for security measures including aircraft range, seating capacity, fuel load, speed and Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW). The appropriate trigger must reflect the likelihood and consequence of these threats, be easily determined, and be applicable across the industry.
The likelihood of an aircraft being subjected to a terrorist attack will, in part, be driven by its size, the number of passengers on board, the capacity of the aircraft to reach attractive ground targets from its departure point and the capacity of the aircraft to cause catastrophic damage to buildings and other infrastructure if used as a weapon. International assessments indicate large civilian aircraft operating RPT air services are the most likely categories of aircraft to be the subject of a terrorist attack designed to either destroy the aircraft in flight or hijack the aircraft and use it as a weapon against a ground target.
The key risk drivers for a terrorist attack are the number of passengers on board and the kinetic energy of the aircraft. Aircraft with larger passenger numbers and a higher weight are therefore more likely to be targeted.
The jet turbine powered Embraer 170 and the turbo propeller powered Bombardier Dash-8 Q400, introduced in to Australia over the last several years are broadly comparable. Both aircraft can be configured to carry 78 passengers, and although the Embraer has marginally greater weight, speed and range, their operational characteristics and security risk profile are similar. Figure 8.2 shows the comparative range of the two aircraft.
Under the current settings, passengers using the Dash-8 Q400 are not subject to the same security requirements as those on comparably sized jet aircraft as regulations only require jet turbine powered aircraft to be fully screened. In this context the Government has examined the structure of the current aviation fleet to determine the most appropriate determinant of security requirements.
MTOW is the maximum weight of an aircraft where it is deemed to meet all airworthiness requirements for safe take-off and flight. Regardless of the number of passengers on board an aircraft, the MTOW does not vary, because the MTOW is predicated on a full load of passengers, luggage and freight, taking into account maximum fuel load, the maximum cargo load and the weight of the airframe. This figure is determined at the point of manufacture based on the configuration and specification of the aircraft.
Recognising that using MTOW as a trigger for security control will result in additional costs to industry, the Government will introduce a phased implementation of new thresholds for the introduction of measures such as compulsory passenger and baggage screening for RPT and open charter services. Initially the MTOW trigger will be set at 30,000kg, moving to 20,000kg by 1 July 2014. The Government will work closely with industry to ensure an effective transition to the new requirements. The Government will also examine, in consultation with the aviation sector, the feasibility of extending MTOW as a trigger for closed charter operations, noting the growth in use of large aircraft for closed charter flights in support of the mining and oil and gas sectors, particularly in northern and north-west Australia. | aerospace |

The Returning Sky
Verse 11 of Surat At-Tariq in the Qur’an, refers to the “returning” function of the sky.
“[I swear] by Heaven which returns.” (At-Tariq 86:11)
The word “rajaai” interpreted as “return” in Qur’an translations has meanings of “sending back” or “returning.” As is known, the atmosphere surrounding the Earth consists of many layers. Each layer serves an important purpose for the benefit of life on Earth.
Research has revealed that these layers have the function of turning the materials or rays they are exposed to back into space or back down to the Earth. Now let us examine, employing a few fitting examples, this “returning” function of the layers encircling the Earth.
The presence of water is essential for life on Earth. One of the factors acting in the formation of water is the Troposphere, one of the layers of the atmosphere. The troposphere layer enables water vapor rising from the surface of the Earth to be condensed from whence it returns to the Earth in the form of rain.
The atmosphere layer that blocks the rays that might be fatal to life on Earth is the Ozonosphere. The Ozonosphere turns harmful cosmic rays like ultraviolet back to space, hence preventing them from reaching the Earth and harming life.
Each layer of the atmosphere has beneficial attributes for human beings. For example, the Ionosphere layer, one of the upper layers of the atmosphere, reflects radio waves broadcast from a certain center back down to the Earth, thus enabling broadcasts to be received from long distances.
The troposphere, 13 to 15 kilometres above the Earth, enables water vapor rising from the surface of the Earth to be condensed and turned back as rain. The ozone layer, the lower layer of stratosphere at an altitude of 25 kilometres, reflects harmful radiation and ultraviolet light coming from space and turns both back into space.
The ionosphere reflects radio waves broadcast from the Earth back down to different parts of the world just like a passive communications satellite. Thus, it makes wireless communication, radio, and television broadcasting possible over long distances. The magnetosphere layer turns the harmful radioactive particles emitted by the Sun and other stars back into space before they reach the Earth.
The fact that this property of the atmosphere’s layers, that was only demonstrated in the recent past was announced centuries ago in the Qur’an, once again proves that the Qur’an is Allah’s Word.

Source: The New York Times
July 31, 2014
Boeing said on Wednesday that it would assemble the largest of its three 787 Dreamliner jets only in South Carolina, rather than splitting the work with a plant in Washington State as it has for the first two models.
Boeing had planned to put together the middle part of the fuselage on the larger model, the 787-10, in North Charleston, S.C. But on Wednesday, the company said that section would be too long to fly to Everett, Wash., making it more efficient to finish the whole plane in South Carolina.
The decision, which was widely expected, expands Boeing’s commitment to its newer facilities in North Charleston, a right-to-work state where its machinists are not unionized. The company has battled with its unions in Washington State.
Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers narrowly approved a new eight-year contract in January to help assure that Boeing would build its new 777X plane in the Puget Sound area. That contract included concessions from the union, and Boeing has been seeking to lower costs by balancing more of its production between two states.
The company, based in Chicago, said it planned to continue assembling the 787-8s, the original model of the jet and the new 787-9 in both Everett and North Charleston.
The 787-10 will be 18 feet longer than the 787-9 to hold more passengers. Boeing said final assembly of the first 787-10 would begin in North Charleston in 2017.
It said it would continue to assemble seven 787s a month in Everett. Production in North Charleston would increase to five a month in 2016 from three now and then also reach seven a month by the end of the decade. | aerospace |

We simply can’t give up our only access to space (and the space station) for multiple years until Constellation is ready to fly.
This is especially critical now, with our relationship with Russia taking on a more complicated edge, and with Congress about to recess without approving permission to buy more seats on future Soyuz craft. As NASA administrator Mike Griffin says, this is going to almost unavoidably result in a period of time during which only the Russians will be aboard the International Space Station.
This can’t be allowed to happen. Congress needs to get off its butt and fund both the Space Shuttle through 2014 as well as fully fund the Constellation program. It’s time to man up, boys, and do what needs to be done to ensure the United States maintains its leadership role in space exploration. | aerospace |

Hopes to eventually take on Uber and Google with a self flying helicopter
First craft will begin operations in Tracy, California, in January with an AI 'brain' to help pilots
Will provide support to the city's law enforcement, search and rescue missions, and firefighters
A California firm has revealed a radical new AI 'pilot assistance' system it hopes could change they way we travel.
SkyRyse says its first craft will begin operations in Tracy, California, in January where it will provide support to the city's emergency response units, including law enforcement, search and rescue missions, and firefighters.
The system will eventually allow helicopters and other vehicles to fly themselves, and its founder hopes to take on Uber and others developing 'flying taxi' services.
SkyRyse says its first craft will begin operations in Tracy, California, in January providing support to emergency response units. It will eventually allow helicopters and other vehicles to fly themselves.
'Somewhere in the span of a five to 10 years, it will be possible to request an aircraft that's vertical takeoff and landing capable to a location not too far from your origin or destination,' Mark Groden, CEO and co-founder of SkyRyse, told CNBC.
At 15 Groden, who co-founded SkyRyse with Mitch Adler, built the world's first micro fixed-wing aircraft capable of vertical take-off UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) at a U.S. Air Force research lab that was used by the U.S. military in missions.
He said the goal of the company is to build autonomous flying taxis that are similarly priced to Lyft, Uber or Didi.
'Every year, billions of hours are wasted in traffic and spent following inefficient travel corridors, taxing our well-being and economic productivity.
'We are building an air transportation service that is not limited by today's infrastructure.'
'What began as science fiction is becoming a reality at SkyRyse,' the firm said.
'Soon cars and traffic will be replaced with flights that safely and quickly take us to where we want to be.
'With SkyRyse, we're able to bridge the gap keeping vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) flight from becoming a mainstream, everyday transportation option.'
The firm's first products will focus on emergency response, and it has a partnership with the city of Tracy, California.
It added sensors, radar and cameras to make Tracy's first responder helicopter safer and easier to fly in tough conditions like fog.
The helicopter includes sensors that it would need for autonomous navigation - for example the radar, is similar to the lidar laser sensors on driverless cars, providing a detailed view of the surroundings even in heavy weather.
'Because the stakes are highest in emergency response situations when minutes can mean the difference between life and death, we're launching SkyRyse Emergency Response to support governments and municipalities first, with plans to change how we get around our cities in the future.'
SkyRyse's Air Emergency Response service is available to state and local governments to connect first-responders, law enforcement and firefighters with emergency scenes in minutes, regardless of location.
SkyRyse has built a first-of-its-kind advanced pilot assistance system (APAS) that combines Artificial Intelligence, a flight perception suite, and decision-making algorithms.
SkyRyse's APAS is designed to lessen the pilot's workload and reduce human error, a leading cause of accidents in all modes of transportation, and to work with any FAA-approved vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft.
The SkyRyse service will include FAA-approved VTOL aircraft equipped with its APAS, a mobile application and a network of highly trained pilots to safely transport emergency responders four-times faster than ground response systems and at a fraction of the price.
'The City of Tracy is always seeking out new, innovative technologies that can bolster the safety and wellness of our community,' said Tracy Police Lieutenant Terry Miller.
'SkyRyse's focus on safety, their world-class team and exceptional technology attracted us to the partnership. SkyRyse's Air Emergency Response service will help us respond to emergencies faster and more affordably.'
The company also announced it has raised $25 million in seed and Series A funding led by Venrock, with participation from Eclipse, Stanford University, Industry Ventures, Trucks VC, Cantos, and Engage Ventures.
'While there's a lot of hype and speculation around the promise of self-driving cars, the future of transportation is in the sky,' said Ethan Batraski of Venrock.
'SkyRyse's team, assisted-flying technology, practical focus and go-to-market strategy put them in an incredible position to help solve our transportation issues.' | aerospace |

The US company has established an Australian presence and will now build a pair of radars in the Collie area that will track debris, satellites and objects in low earth orbit.
The new ground-based infrastructure will form part of a global network providing comprehensive coverage to provide transparency in low earth orbit, prevent collisions and assist satellite operators to deploy their services safely.
LeoLabs Australia managing director Terry van Haren said the new radars will provide a very important ‘foundation piece’ within the space sector in Australia and help further expansion of the sector into Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and debris monitoring.
“Where we build space radars other elements of the space sector seem to follow – our New Zealand site is a very good example of this,” Mr van Haren said.
Collie-Preston MLA Jodie Hanns welcomed the decision by LeoLabs to locate its first Australian radars in the Collie area.
“This is an exciting new development for Collie and Western Australia,” Ms Hanns said.
“It shows Collie’s ability to attract ground-breaking new industry and will further build on diversifying Collie’s economy.”
SWDC chief executive officer Mellisa Teede said it shows confidence in the South West, which is now part of Western Australia’s growing space sector.
“It is terrific that companies like LeoLabs are choosing the South West – and Collie in particular – as a base for their operations,” Ms Teede said.
“Our team continues to promote the region and its competitive advantages, actively helping to secure new investment as part of a wider strategy to strengthen and diversify the economy.”
Collie Shire President Cr Stanley welcomed the decision by LeoLabs to invest in Collie.
“We’re beyond excited that Collie has a role to play in WA’s growing space sector,” Cr Stanley said.
“LeoLabs is one of a growing number of businesses at the forefront of technology choosing Collie as a base, ensuring an exciting, sustainable and prosperous future for the region.”
It was a Federal, State and regional effort to work with LeoLabs. Austrade, SWDC, Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation and the Shire of Collie all played important roles. | aerospace |

It is October 22, 1943. A lot had changed since Hayward first arrived in Halifax in January 1940. For one thing the population of Halifax doubled during the war.
Shortly after his arrival back in halifax, Hayward is reassigned to the nearby HMS Seaborn, a Royal Naval Air Station at RCAF Station Dartmouth.
Sometime in early 1944, Hayward would meet up with a fellow Newfoundlander. Her name is Olive Leona May Stone. Olive is serving in the RCAF and is stationed at RCAF Station Dartmouth. It is believed that the two had at least exchanged glances back in 1940 in St, John’s Newfoundland.
On the 12 of September 1944, Hayward and Olive are married in Halifax County, Nova Scotia.
Since Halifax was the western terminus for most Atlantic convoys, the British established HMS Seaborn, a Royal Naval Air Section (RNAS) lodger unit, at RCAF Station Dartmouth in September 1940. The RNAS was under the full jurisdiction of the Royal Navy, however, the RCAF provided a hanger and administrative buildings. The initial role for HMS Seaborn was to provide a shore base for Swordfish and Walrus aircraft assigned to ships of the Royal Navy’s Third Battle Squadron. However, as the convoy system gained momentum HMS Seaborn’s prime role was reassembling replacement Swordfish aircraft for the Merchant Aircraft Carriers. The RNAS also provided maintenance and shelter for Fleet Air Arm aircraft while disembarked from their parent Escort Aircraft Carriers and Merchant Aircraft Carriers docked in Halifax harbour. After the end of the Second World War HMS Seaborn was disbanded in January 1946.

THE AIR COMMANDO HALL OF FAME
(SHOWN ARE COMBAT CONTROL INDUCTEES ONLY)
The USAF Special Operations Force (SOF) Hall of Fame (HOF) was officially dedicated by BGen Robert L. Cardenas, SOF’s Third commander, April 26, 1969, in conjunction with the seventh anniversary of the Force. Located in the main hallway of the SOF headquarters building, on Eglin AFB, the Hall of Fame includes 20 Air Force men who, through their leadership and dedication, were instrumental in the success and accomplishments in the field of special operations.
These men were chosen, not for a single act of heroism, but for their significant contributions to worldwide special operations. The history of special operations date back to World War II with the formation of the
1st Air Commando Group in 1944. With Colonel Philip G. Cochran as Commander, they were instrumental in supporting British Brigadier Orde C. Wingates' operation in the China-Burma-India Theater.
Tactical Air Command first entered the special operations field in April 1961 with the activation of the 4400th Combat Crew Training Squadron at Hurlburt, FL nicknamed “Jungle Jim.” This nucleus trained USAF aircrew in the varied-and-difficult skills of special operations. These airmen in turn, became advisors and instructors to airmen of friendly foreign nations that were potential targets of Communist aggression.
The Special Operations Force was formerly called the Special Air Warfare Center until its redesignation in
July 1968. Because of the increasing emphasis on counterinsurgency training programs, the SOF concept
grew from a training squadron in 1961 to a numbered air force equivalent headquarters with two wings, a special operations school, and global commitments.
The Air Commando Hall of Fame History
The Air Commando Hall of Fame was dedicated in 1968 at the Special Air Weapons Center, Eglin AFB.
Brigadier General Cardenas dedicated the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Force Hall of Fame on 26 April, 1969. Twenty airmen who made special worldwide contributions to special operations were inducted and
their pictures hung on the walls of Special Operations Headquarters, Eglin AFB.

National Air Traffic Services Confirms Passenger Planes Being Checked For Ash Damage
by Howard Williams April 26th, 2010
It now seems that, before and after every single take off at UK airports, passenger planes are being checked for ash damage to their engines. This is all part of a new safety measure that the National Air Traffic Service confirmed.
Aviation experts predicted that the damage to engines on the planes that fly through ash clouds will reduce the lifespan of aircraft. Despite the go ahead to resume flights last week, the Civil Aviation Authority issued new safety guidelines to all airlines last Thursday, laying out extra safety checks.
The Finnish Air Force has recently released images showing damage to the inside of a Boeing F-18 Hornet fighter engine that had sucked in volcanic dust. Last Monday United States officials confirmed a Nato F-16 fight plane engine had also been damaged by the ash.
The Civil Aviation Authority and air traffic control service allowed the resumption of flights after hearing some evidence from aero engine manufacturers that engines’ tolerance to volcanic ash could be increased from zero, to a very low level. Nats’s general manager for strategy and investment, Alex Bristol, said that the Civil Aviation Authority was presented with scientific backed evidence, rather than one or two flights which had been undamaged.
The evidence that showed previous criteria, which set the engine tolerance to ash dust at zero, was probably too far on the side of caution. There are some reports of increased wear and tear on aircraft. It is more than likely going to shorten the life of the aircraft. However, it’s not going to be dangerous to a single flight. | aerospace |

It’s the only object of its kind in Europe, where conditions of the future base on the Moon or Mars will be simulated. The habitat is located at the former military airport in Pila. It will be opened on July 29, 2017. Four missions are planned for 2017. Usually, they will last two weeks. Analog astronauts will be completely cut off from the outside world. They can leave the hab only to an airplane hangar where the surface of the Moon or Mars will be simulated.
The hab emerges from the night…
In June 2017 Space Garden company started building Lunares habitat. It was created to test the behavior of people in isolation while they are living and working in a very small space. The habitat conditions are designed to be similar to those that future astronauts will find in the Moon or Mars base. Six analog astronauts will live in the hab, that consist only the most important modules: bedroom, kitchen, office, biological laboratory, analytical laboratory, equipment storage, gym and bathroom.
The hab was designed by Leszek Orzechowski, CEO of Space is More company, an architect specialized in space projects. Modules are arranged in a semicircle so that the space between them can also be used as a common place to rest. A dome is mounted over this free space in the center of the hab in a way that it connects all modules together. Then, the hab, is connected by a simulated airlock with the airplane hangar.
Inside you won’t find a flat surface to park a plane. Interior of the hangar simulates the surface of the Moon or Mars with a lot of sand and rocks scattered all over the place. Analog astronauts will have to get dressed up in a space suit to come out “to the surface” of a simulated celestial body.
Why we’ve built the hab?
The idea to build space habitat in Poland was conceived in Agata Kołodziejczyk’s mind. She is Ph.D. and a scientist working for the European Space Agency. “We have created a Moon-Martian habitat in Poland” – says Agata Kołodziejczyk – “because we lack a specialized laboratory for space missions in Poland, not to mention the lack of a national astronaut program. By creating such a simulated space base we can take the first small step towards the next Pole in space. ”
Lunares habitat is a unique world-class scientific laboratory that will conduct research on the perception of time. Analog astronauts will be cut off from the outside world, they will not know what time of day is outside. Researchers will remotely control the habitat lighting so as to elicit the illusion of time passing. It will be done in order to investigate the problem of synchronizing the biological clock in space. Without solving this puzzle we will not be able to live in space. This time illusion research is unique on a global scale.
With the efforts of Aleksander Wasniowski (MD) Space Garden company, as an owner of Lunares habitat, established cooperation with the Medical University of Poznan. Thanks to that, first Laboratory of Extreme Medicine (LEM) was created in Poland.
Habitat Lunares was created by Space Garden company, entirely from private funds, in cooperation with many institutions and individuals. Especially cooperation with the European Space Agency and its specialized branches were important for the construction of the hab. The European Space Research and Technology Center (ESTEC) has built a rover – a remotely controlled robot with a beautiful Polish name “Chrzaszcz” and a machine simulating microgravity for the biological laboratory. The International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) has donated a scientific apparatus such as a telescope, a spectrometer, and a lunar lander model. Advanced Concept Team (ACT) has provided control of the habitat equipment with a fully automated lighting system and time illumination simulations.
Analog missions in 2017
In 2017 four missions are planned. The first one will start on July 31st, right after the habitat opens. Polish Mars Analogue Simulation 2017 (PMAS 17) is a two-week mission organized by Space Generation Advisory Council. Team members are from all inhabited continents and 30 countries. Analog astronauts come from countries like Puerto Rico (USA), Israel, Spain, France, India and Nigeria.
Next will be the Lunar Expedition 1 mission organized by the Lunares habitat team. It will also be a two-week mission, with Polish only crew, simulating the base operation on the Moon.
In September, the Lunares habitat will host a three-day mission, Moon for Youth for Kids, where children will learn how a space base works and operates. Kids will play roles as astronauts or mission control personnel.
In October Lunares hab will host another two-week mission – ICAres-1 (Innovative Concepts Ares). The mission is conducted in cooperation with the “For Health” Foundation. It will be a trully unique mission because one of the analog Mars astronauts will be handicapped. Yes, accidents can happen also in space.
How the crew and the habitat itself endure this unusual situation?
The first test mission of the habitat, the so-called Expedition Zero, was held in 2016 in Rzepiennik Biskupim near Rzeszow, south of Poland. It was designed to test the functionality of the hab and ways to improve it. The habitat from its initial concept was designed as mobile and modular, so in 2017 it was decided to move it to Pila ( a city in western parts of Poland) to an old military airfield. Why?
The reason was the opportunity to use the hangar, thanks to which analog astronauts could be independent of unpredictable central European weather. Doing EVA’s (Extra Vehicular Activity) inside hangar will also be helpful to isolate analog astronauts from the outside world. Initial name M.A.R.S. (Modular Analog Research Station) was changed to Lunares (Luna – Moon and Ares, Greek synonym of Mars) to highlight the uniqueness of this habitat, which can simulate Lunar and Martian surface and it’s better align with European Space Agency vision of constructing Moon Village in the future. | aerospace |

Jeff Bezos announced his space launch a month ago, but it seems that philanthropist and Virgin Galactic owner Richard Branson will beat him to it.
Branson has been developing his rocket technology for nearly two decades and insists that the moving up of his launch date is not to start a competition with the former Amazon CEO.
This contradicts a corporate source who claimed that Virgin Galactic devised the strategy in response to Blue Origin’s announcement of the July 20 trip on May 5.
“I completely understand why the press would write that,” Branson told The Washington Post last week. “It’s just an incredible, wonderful coincidence that we’re going up in the same month.”
Like Bezos’ rocket, Branson’s space vehicle is designed to take passengers up to the edge of space for a few moments of weightlessness and a view of the earth’s curvature before returning home.
The experience, though, is not quite the same, according to his rival. “They’re not flying above the Kármán line, and it’s a very different experience,” scoffed Blue Origin CEO Bob Smith.
Blue Origin’s New Shepard capsule flies to an altitude of 100 kilometers or 62 miles. The Kármán line is where space begins, according to some experts. Virgin Galactic’s spaceplane flies beyond 50 miles, above the Federal Aviation Administration’s definition of space.
Branson will also be aboard the rocket when it launches on July 11, just like Bezos will be on his own rocket when it launches on July 20.
Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo Unity has room for six passengers, the entire crew taking their first flight in the suborbital spacecraft with two pilots and four passengers (including Branson).
Branson has dreamed of space travel as a kid, just like Bezos. “I always envisioned as a kid that a spaceship should look like this,” he told NBC News. “I just thought that’s how you should fly to space.”
This trip is still a test run. Branson’s purpose on the mission is ostensibly “to evaluate the private astronaut experience.” There are still two more test flights scheduled, even though the company has already been approved to fly by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
“A new chapter in the story of human space flight is beginning,” a statement from the FAA reads. “The FAA approved the first commercial space license to launch private individuals into space.”
A ride with Branson on his space plane will cost you around $250,000, and 600-700 people have already signed up to join the billionaire in flight.
If Branson flies before Bezos, there will almost certainly be a discussion about whether he made it past the point that officially marks space. The FAA considers 50 miles (80.4 kilometers) to be the outer limit of space. The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, which keeps track of aviation and space records, believes the space barrier to be 100 kilometers (62.1 miles), or the Karman line. | aerospace |

This is kind of a question people frequently ask me. Many hobbyists that are buying their first drone are unsure about camera, should ther first drone have a camera? My opinion is – it should. Since market is full of affordable camera drones I don’t see reason not to get one. Camera gives you much more oportunities than you have without it. Especially if it’s integrated with FPV, which in most cases is. Being able to see what’s your camera recording in live time is really amazing. Sometimes I really wonder how is that possible to incoporate on really cheap $50 drones. But it’s true, they are here – available on the market.
Some of drones already have their built in cameras, while other drones comes with GoPro or other action camera gimblars. Let’s be honest, GoPro is amazing, it’s really high quality product and you can capture some amazing footage with it. But, in the other hand, GoPro is relatively expensive and sometimes it’s not really smart to attach it to some cheap drone that can hardly fly with it. Last thing you want to happen is crashing your drone and breaking it together with GoPro camera, right? In the other hand, if you’re looking for some cheap and simple drone that will do what’s it expected to do – fly. Maybe you’ll be interested in this list of drones for kids by Dronesglobe.
In following posts we’ll discuss what are the best drones with camera. There are more than hundred camera drones currently available on the market so it can be real pain in the ass to find what’s the best one for you. | aerospace |

Georgian Airways releases a statement and notes that “the airline’s management, including Tamaz Gaiashvili, is pleased to grant Georgia the status of an EU candidate country, which will be finally decided in the coming days.”
Starting next year, up to 60 weekly flights will be added to Europe.
The management of Georgian Airways, including Tamaz Gaiashvili, is pleased to provide the status of a candidate country to the European Union, which will be decided day by day. In this regard, the airline made a strategic decision for the country - to maximize flights to European destinations, including all capitals, first of all, of course, Brussels.
There have been many new destinations this year, but Georgian Airways is pleased to announce that we will be adding up to 60 weekly flights to Europe from next year.
There will be at least three flights per week to each destination. In addition, Georgian Airways will begin flights to Dubai from the end of this year, and from April next year to China (Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu).
There will be at least three flights per week to these destinations. Indian destinations such as Delhi and Mumbai are also being considered. Georgian Airways management says its top priority is flight safety, naturally, along with a comfortable passenger experience.
All flights to the above destinations will operate during daylight hours only, with rare exceptions. | aerospace |

This is why it is a great option if you are planning to travel for business or pleasure.
More control over your trip
One of the main reasons why you should charter a private flight is because you get more control over your trip. You can choose which aircraft to fly on and you can even split the cost with other passengers.
A charter flight is a scheduled flight that is designed to arrive and depart on time. Charter flights are a good choice for last-minute trips. They are also ideal for business travelers.
The price you pay depends on the size of the plane and the number of passengers. For instance, a nine-seater Hawker Beechcraft 900XP will cost $30k for a one-way flight from Los Angeles to Washington.
The price is usually calculated on an hourly basis. However, some operators post lower rates. The lowest-cost flights can be found on mid-size or super-midsize jets.
More accessible than a commercial airliner
If you’re looking for the best way to get to your next business or pleasure trip, a private jet flight may be the ticket. You can also use a private plane to shuttle you and your passengers to a more remote destination, such as a Caribbean island. This type of travel can also be the solution to a medical emergency. For example, Paramount Business Jets helped a couple evacuate Sendai following the Fukushima Dai-Machi nuclear accident. The best part is that you get to do it all in style.
One of the major benefits of flying a private aircraft is the convenience. There’s no waiting in long lines, no stowing of baggage, and no need to check in for a flight. Plus, you get to go where you want, when you want, without the snarls and the hassles associated with flying commercial.
Safer than a commercial airliner
Considering the number of airline accidents, you might wonder why you should choose a private flight over a commercial one. The answer is that there are several benefits of flying a private jet over a commercial aircraft. But, there are a few things you need to know before you get started.
First, it is important to consider the safety culture in the private aviation industry. While many travelers believe that chartering a private flight is safer than a commercial flight, that does not mean the same thing for everyone.
Another factor that should be considered when it comes to safety is the number of passengers on board. A small number of people means less of a risk of being exposed to disease.
When choosing a company to book your flight, make sure that they are reputable. These companies will be able to help you find a flight that is safe. They will speak directly with you about your specific requirements and take care of your needs.
Skip the traditional check-in process and board the plane
When traveling on a private plane, it is possible to skip the traditional check-in process and board the aircraft. This option is often the most convenient, fastest and most stress-free. However, it is not available at all airports. You will need to make an appointment with a charter airline and arrive 10 to 30 minutes before the flight.
If you want to be sure you will have a seat, you will need to check in online. Then, you will be given a boarding pass that you can use to get to the terminal. At some airports, you may be asked to bring your ID to the boarding gate. For international flights, your passport is acceptable.
Many private flights do not require metal detector screening. Other times, the private airline will have a bag search and ask passengers to place their luggage through an X-ray machine. These types of procedures are meant to protect both the airline and the passenger, and are generally considered safe. | aerospace |

More InformationI need to rent space to store an ultralight aircraft, i.e., Aerolite 103. A barn or outside storage area would be great, but it should have access to an area flat enough for takeoffs and landings. I would rent the space year round, but access it mostly in warmer weather. I am on the waiting lists for hangar space at the Blacksburg and NRV airports, but hangar space is very limited and an ultralight doesn't require a full runway. Any help would be appreciated!

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can steer me in the right direction.
What is NASA? And what do they do? NASA, which stands for National Aeronautics Space Administration,
is an agency of the United States government, responsible for the nation’s public space program…
In addition to the space program, it is also responsible for long-term civilian and military aerospace research. Since February 2006 NASA’s self-described mission statement is to “pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery, and aeronautics research.
In my knowledge, NASA is a government-funded agency that researches and develops Space missions and aeronautic innovations. In 2009, the federal government has promised a 1.8% increase in NASA’s budget, which makes up approximately 6/10 of the budget. A large portion of this $17.6 B. The increases in the budget are promised to continue at 2.4% per year.
This increase demonstrates the president’s commitment to funding the balanced priorities he set forth for the agency in space exploration, Earth and space science, and aeronautics research. We are making steady progress in achieving these goals.
But where is this money going. Whenever I think of NASA, I think of technically useless pictures of space, a mission we send to Mars to look for one H2O molecule, or in most cases, the failure of a space mission (either through the destruction of an aircraft, or a malfunction that hinders the machine to do what it took millions of dollars to do). Maybe my intellect resembles too much of a peanut to understand the real benefits of knowing that a million years ago, there may have once been a drop of water on Mars. What benefits have we seen from space exploration? In my search for this answer, I was amused to find that in many cases, NASA’s benefits have been listed as “Spinoffs”. Some benefits of space research on human life are listed. Most of them fall into the technology category. Here is one that I thought was interesting.
RIBBED SWIMSUIT – NASA-developed riblets applied to competition swimsuits resulted in flume testing of 10 to 15 percent faster speeds than any other world class swim-suit due to the small, barely visible grooves that reduce friction and aerodynamic drag by modifying the turbulent airflow next to the skin.
How much do you think that cost? I would guess somewhere in the millions.
To switch over to the more positive side, let’s take at one of the most well-known space endeavors of our time. The Hubble Telescope was launched in 1990 and had many flaws, which were finally fixed in 1994. This telescope’s main function is to take high quality pictures of space that can reach up to 13 billion years into the past. Most of the pictures we see on earth of the colorful beyond are products of this telescope. This has created a large market for these photographs. My Mac computer has a large assortment of Nebula’s and exploding planets.
Clearly my knowledge of space exploration is limited and I invite others to expand my narrow mind. | aerospace |

As a technical writer, I’ve had the opportunity to delve deeper into the subject and explore the challenges and opportunities that come with it. From the first moon landing to the recent Mars missions, space exploration has always been a topic of great interest and excitement. However, it’s not without its challenges. The harsh conditions of space, the high costs of space missions, and the risks involved make it a daunting task. But with every challenge comes an opportunity to learn and grow. In this article, I’ll be discussing the challenges and opportunities of space exploration and how it has the potential to shape our future.
Space exploration has been a topic of intense interest for centuries and has captivated the imaginations of people all over the world. For centuries, people have pondered the possibilities of life beyond Earth and the potential of a future in space. Now, with the advancement of technology, space exploration is becoming a reality.
In this article, we will take a look at the challenges and opportunities that come with space exploration:
Definition of space exploration
Space exploration can be defined as activities that are conducted either by human beings or unmanned robotic spacecrafts for the purpose of gathering information about space and celestial objects. This exploration is undertaken to gain knowledge of the universe, to further understand the Big Bang theory, celestial mechanics, and astrophysics; and to search for possible extraterrestrial life forms. This activity also involves searching for economically precious minerals or other resources that may exist in outer space.
Space exploration has a long history, with some of its earliest goals driven by human fascination with astronomical phenomena observed in the night sky. Its current objectives are typically scientific in nature; either a search for knowledge or an assessment of existing conditions beyond Earth’s environment. With advances in space technology over time, manned missions have become commonplace with astronauts traveling beyond Earth’s atmosphere on a regular basis at this point. Human understanding of outer space has evolved significantly in just the last few decades and there is still more to discover!
History of space exploration
Humans have been fascinated by space exploration since the dawn of recorded time and a wide variety of advances have been made over the centuries, leading to the dramatic and inspiring achievements seen in more recent times. The earliest attempts at sending spacecraft into orbit may be seen in pre-historic rituals and objects that signify different solar systems, religious beliefs, and cosmic cycles.
By the 16th century, most scientific instruments – notably the telescope – had been developed to an impressive level, which allowed for more accurate observation of far-off celestial bodies. Great strides were also made in mathematics by people such as Isaac Newton which enabled better prediction of orbital trajectories and phenomena. During this era there was a surge in interest from professional astronomers, philosophers, and authors alike.
In 1957 the Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, making it the world’s first artificial satellite that launched from Earth into orbit around the Earth. This moment marked a new age for space exploration as multiple space programs were quickly established by numerous countries with ambitions to explore further into space. In 1969 Apollo 11 achieved one of mankind’s most significant accomplishments when two astronauts became the first humans to walk on the moon – marking an incredible era of groundbreaking advancements. Other remarkable developments followed such as Pioneer 10 becoming the first human-built object to leave our solar system (1972), Viking 1 becoming the first man-made craft to touch down on Mars (1976), Voyager 1 becoming humanity’s farthest reach into deep space (1990), and many other remarkable feats along these lines up until today’s ambitious plans for establishing human colonies on Mars within this decade or beyond.
Challenges of Space Exploration
Space exploration offers a multitude of exciting opportunities, such as development of new technologies and discovery of new planets, but it also carries with it some serious challenges. The most pressing of these challenges are the dangers posed by the space environment, the cost of space travel, and the difficulty of coordinating international missions.
In this article, we will be taking a look at these challenges in detail:
- Dangers posed by the space environment
- Cost of space travel
- Difficulty of coordinating international missions
The exploration of space presents many technical challenges. One of the primary considerations is the amount of energy required to reach, explore and return from a destination in space. Due to distance, a spacecraft must carry sufficient power supplies, including fuel and batteries, to sustain its intended mission. A second challenge is that of providing a habitable environment in which astronauts may live under sustained periods of zero gravity conditions. It is necessary to construct an environmentally controlled enclosure that provides an appropriate temperature and atmosphere for human occupation.
The engineering constraints for a mission must also be accounted for. Spacecraft must be capable of withstanding extreme temperature swings, vacuum pressures and radiation exposure levels encountered in deep space travel. To ensure design stability and reliability during launch and across all mission stages, the engineering specifications must meet or exceed applicable safety standards established by regulatory authorities such as NASA or national government agencies responsible for aerospace development programs.
Other technical issues include considerations related to:
- Navigation control systems
- Spacecraft attitude management
- Guidance algorithms for controlling orientation relative to planets
- Rendezvous maneuvers
- Collision avoidance strategies
- Landing procedures
- Communications protocols both upload/download on-board systems
- Orbital transfer dynamics
- Torque vectoring calculations involving multiple body gravitation fields (e.g., solar system objects)
- Recycling waste materials on board during the mission duration
All these aspects are likewise subject to rigorous design reviews conducted by recognized aerospace organizations leading up to mission launch dates so as to safeguard mission safety with minimized risks from hazard events such as power surges or failure scenarios involving spacecraft system components not functioning properly during flight operations over vast distances away from Earth where no recovery support services are available in time frame time frames – typically about 8–18 months depending on the overall scope of mission objectives involved (including deep-space science sample return).
Exploring space is a costly endeavor that can take years of research, development and funding to achieve success. Securing the necessary financial resources to cover the development of mission-specific equipment and support personnel, as well as to pay for launch services and operational costs can require significant effort. Additionally, project funding may come from multiple government sources or international partnerships which have their own sets of requirements or preferences. Managers must negotiate these complexities while maintaining focus on the end goal.
Innovative approaches are being employed by organizations in order to reduce overall costs such as utilizing commercial launches or cooperative international programs where multiple countries work together to pool resources. New financing models are also being developed in order to increase capabilities as well as shorten mission timelines and reduce overhead costs – such as Space-as-a-Service (SPAAS).
In addition, many space missions can benefit from public-private partnership models which are generally easier to obtain given the large interest level from industry in supporting space activities and experiments. Ultimately, it is every space project manager’s responsibility to ensure that projects stay within budget, come in on time, meet internal standards for quality and safety, while also meeting nationally adopted industry standards.
Exploring and colonizing space presents cold hard political facts of life that cannot be ignored. Not only does space exploration require considerable resources, it also involves a complex web of geopolitical relationships that can be difficult to navigate. Having the vision and courage to pursue exploration goes hand-in-hand with the ability to handle the politics of international space exploration.
One major issue is access to more powerful rockets, lunar landing modules and scientific instruments that countries often develop in partnership with one another. This means cooperation between rival countries is required in order for space exploration goals to be achieved through shared resources, knowledge and ideas. Countries must also negotiate a host of terms related to regulation, environmental protection, risk assessment and legal matters – some of which can cause significant political tensions when compromised rights are at stake.
At both a regional and global scale a country’s reputation as an innovative leader in space exploration can suffer consequences if they fail to meet specific political obligations or suggest policies that go against accepted standards or restrict the rights of other states. In order for successful long-term space exploration partnerships – often conducted over multiple international agreements – countries must take on several challenges which include:
- Maturing past conflicting interests between various government powers.
- Addressing issues such as property disputes over asteroids or celestial bodies.
- Understanding dynamics such as exports, imports use of technology for weapons.
- Joining an international effort towards safe rocket launches that respect airspaces.
- Working together towards ecological sustainability when colonizing other planets.
- Sharing benefits of research gathered from extraterrestrial missions among all countries involved in the process.
- Adhering to shared codes governing outer-space demilitarization among others.
Opportunities of Space Exploration
Space exploration offers exciting opportunities for humanity. It has the potential to unlock a vast array of different resources that could benefit our lives here on Earth, such as new energy sources, medical advances, and improved technology. However, along with these opportunities also comes a lot of challenges.
From the extreme climates, to the technical and safety risks associated with space exploration, it can be a difficult and dangerous endeavor.
Let’s take a look at some of the opportunities and challenges of space exploration:
The exploration of space is a challenge with numerous scientific opportunities. By venturing further into space and gaining a better understanding of the universe, our understanding of science is improved. The discovery and exploration of other planets, moons, and stars are a great source for scientific research. As technology improves to reach farther distances in space, new possibilities for study can be explored.
Space exploration offers the unique opportunity to study the conditions in which stars, planets, and galaxies are formed in the early stages of their development. This insight can further our knowledge on how they evolve with time, giving us more information on how our solar system has developed and how Earth evolved over billions of years.
Astronauts who go out into space provide data that can be used to find efficient methods for protecting astronauts from radiation and other dangers that come with being in outer space. Additionally, robots and spacecrafts can provide information on cosmic radiation levels in different locations within our solar system as well as any other gases or particles present that affect our bodies when we are exposed to them for long periods of time outside of Earth’s atmosphere.
The insights gained from these studies have profound implications for science today, creating new breakthroughs in physics, astrobiology, geology, astrophysics and astronomy which could help protect astronauts from dangers like radiation amongst many others during their explorations into deep space.
Space exploration offers a number of economic opportunities that could benefit humanity in areas such as energy production and resource utilization. As technology progresses and more satellites are launched, the use of space-based assets becomes increasingly valuable, providing new markets and areas of commerce that can spur economic growth.
The use of satellites to provide telecommunications services, remote sensing data, and navigation systems can help to create jobs, attract investment and pave the way for the development of space tourism. Furthermore, satellite imagery has a wide range of applications in industries such as agriculture, defense and disaster response.
In addition to these commercial interests, the economics associated with space exploration can be expected to drive further innovation in developing creative ideas for use within a wide variety of fields.
- Developing new technologies such as space elevators or solar sails could potentially reduce launch costs for spacecraft or other transportation devices needed to traverse between Earth and space.
- Having access to the vast resources available in space may prove invaluable in providing access to metals or minerals not found on Earth’s surface.
- In addition, harvesting energy from orbiting solar arrays could be used to power cities on Earth while providing an alternate source of revenue for governments as well as private companies alike.
Space exploration allows us to explore untapped potentials that may be inside us or outside our planet’s atmosphere; its benefits are just beginning to be realized through these economic developments which give hope for further technological advances in the years ahead.
Space exploration projects can greatly benefit our society. There are many opportunities to take part in commercial and collaborative space exploration efforts, with research protocols that further the scientific knowledge of our world. Space exploration can also help bring work opportunities to remote areas, create collaborations with other nations, encourage private initiatives involving either commercial or educational-oriented activities and facilitate the advancement of technology to develop space-related products and services for public use.
For instance, future administrators of international or multi-nation aerospace projects may find research programs advantageous by including students from different academic backgrounds. This is a great way to foster collaboration amongst nations and leverage knowledge and resources to achieve mission objectives. Additionally, the potential for creating job prospects for scientists, engineers, technicians and astronauts opens new possibilities for employment. Through these collaborative efforts between different countries engaged in space exploration activities, such initiatives provide significant economic benefits as well as technological advances that can be used worldwide.
Also noteworthy is the possibility in developing innovative biomedical materials suitable under extreme conditions such as outer space as well as studying gravity-influenced reactions on earth and finding alternative propulsion techniques that enable efficient transportation of goods and personnel into higher orbits. Such studies lead to more accurate forecasts of atmospheric conditions which enable more reliable climate predictions that help identify strategies for mitigating environmental hazards due to global warming on earth.
Overall, the challenges associated with space exploration have become more accessible than ever before thanks to private sector developments in reusable technologies that strive towards affordability while reducing governmental funding requirements significantly making such frontiers available even without considerable financial investment from public institutions through government agencies.
Space exploration brings many challenges and opportunities that greatly reward the human species. As scientists and engineers, we must be prepared to face whatever space exploration throws at us. Although some of the engineering feats accomplished in space are impressive, we have much further to go. We must explore further, develop new technologies for navigating in space and creating spacecrafts with greater ranges and durability. Additionally, we must focus a portion of our resources towards understanding the unknown sources of radiation in outer space that are currently presenting lethal risks to astronauts.
In terms of opportunities, the universe presents a unique chance for discovery never before seen here on Earth. On Mars alone we have already discovered evidence of past water activity as well as fossilized organic material embedded into rocks—a sign that early life may once have existed there. Exactly how these remarkable discoveries will affect humanity’s overall understanding of the Universe remains yet to be seen, but they should serve as a reminder to continue exploring this vast unknown frontier that lies outside our own planet.
Moreover, through successful now and future missions to space, we may be able to create new sources of energy and develop advanced medical treatments suitable in treating diseases considered untreatable here on Earth today. In summary, while many challenges lie ahead for those who choose to boldly go where no one has gone before – the boundless rewards available make the risks worth taking when exploring this alien world limitless beyond our comprehension or imagination.

Published: July 31, 2013 (Issue # 1771)
To help celebrate 50 years since Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to fly solo in space on June 16, 1963, the retired cosmonaut was invited to brew a batch of limited edition Yarpivo beer at the St. Petersburg Baltika factory.
Then aged 26, Tereshkova’s three-day mission made her a global celebrity and a poster girl for the Soviet space race.
Last week, Baltika invited the 76-year-old to help brew the limited edition beer — Yarpivo. Anniversary Edition 5.0 — in honor of her anniversary.
While the cosmic brew will not be available for sale, it can be sampled during tours at both the St. Petersburg and Yaroslavl Baltika factories.
Despite it having been 50 years since lift-off, Tereshkova has also not lost her sense of adventure. At a recent press conference held at the cosmonaut training center outside of Moscow, she offered to fly to Mars, saying that she would be happy to go even if it was a one-way trip.
"But we know the human limits. And for us this remains a dream. Most likely the first flight will be one way. But I am ready," she said. | aerospace |

The words Armstrong uttered as he ventured forth onto the lunar surface have become enshrined in both history and popular culture: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” But, that’s not all he, fellow astronaut…
Hear the stories of regular people who witnessed world-changing historical events in Witnessing History, a new series from ClickHole. Today’s episode: the moon landing.
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission completed its journey to the moon. Although its crew of Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins were highly trained, there was a significant possibility of disaster, and everyone knew that the astronauts might not make it back.
Happy Friday! With another week over, it’s time to take a sneak peek at just a bit of the amazing content we have coming for you next week!
It’s been almost 50 years since the Apollo 11 lunar mission returned, and while America applauded the safe return of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins, there’s always been a lingering feeling of unfinished business. | aerospace |

SUBJ: Prohibition of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) -011/16
1. Due to the rapid proliferation of available, affordable, and highly-capable commercial Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), COMDT (CG-7) released ALCOAST 331/16 on 14SEP16. This ALCOAST specifically prohibited the acquisition and operation of UAS by Coast Guard units without the express permission of CG-711.
2. This prohibition applies to members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. Auxiliarists are prohibited from operating UAS in the performance of any authorized Auxiliary activity under any circumstance, including prohibition from operating UAS for testing or prototyping purposes.
3. The potential exists for UAS capabilities to be offered to the Coast Guard by Auxiliarists. The Chief Director is chartering a working group to explore a way forward which would enable Auxiliary members to operate UAS on behalf of Coast Guard Order Issuing Authorities. This working group will be staffed by representatives from Coast Guard Program Offices, including CG-711/41/1131, Auxiliary national staff members, and Auxiliary members from PACAREA, LANTAREA West and LANTAREA East.
4. The Chief Director is currently soliciting experienced UAS operators to apply to be members of the working group in order to add their subject matter expertise to the discussion. Interested members should email their UAS resume to Commodore Karel Kester, at [email protected].

European Space Strategy
European space travel is usually overshadowed by major players such as the USA, Russia and increasingly China. But it has a long tradition and is absolutely top class in many areas. I am committed to pooling space technology expertise at European level and to setting a new course. By providing first-class and free supply of data and investment programs, I want to promote the emergence of a European mid tier in the space sector.
Europe in Space
Space is also being used more and more intensively as an economic resource. The public focus is primarily on the upstream market, i.e. rocket development, for example. However, the downstream market, i.e. business areas that create added value by using data and research results, offers particular potential for start-ups and SMEs.
The European space sector is a leader in many important areas, such as earth observation. European satellites help us to combat climate change, find effective measures in disaster situations or prove war crimes. Programs such as Copernicus, EGNOS and Galileo provide a quality of data that is unique worldwide.
But we must do more to ensure that this data can be used. We must ensure that data collected in space is freely and easily accessible. We need to expand cooperation in science, especially in the field of education and training. And we need funding opportunities for young companies. The so-called downstream market, the evaluation and economic use of space data, offers first-class potential for start-ups and SMEs. Here, programs must be set up to ensure that a European space industry can develop. | aerospace |

According to statistics published by the Air Transport Action Group, in 2019 alone, the global aviation industry produced somewhere in the region of 915 million tonnes of CO2.
As Duncan Clark – Renovare Fuels’ Business Development Director – will be well aware, the UK Government recently announced plans to make greener air travel a top priority, providing special funding in support of such efforts.
As a leading specialist in the field of carbon-neutral liquid fuels and with a management team including Chairman Matthew Stone, Renovare Fuels is at the forefront of an industry shift, leading the transition to greener aviation.
Total global CO2 emissions for 2019 amounted to 43 billion tonnes, with the aviation industry accounting for just 2% of that figure. On the face of it, this seems like a drop in the ocean. Nevertheless, taking into consideration the ever-increasing impact of emissions as a driver for climate change, governments and organisations all over the world are rapidly arriving at the conclusion that 2% is still 2% too much.
Over the past few years, the aviation industry has seen consistent growth. According to a study undertaken by the International Council on Clean Transportation, between 2013 and 2018 aviation carbon emissions grew at a rate 70% faster than predicted.
The global response to the Covid-19 pandemic has undeniably curtailed air travel, curbing CO2 emissions for 2020. The industry currently faces substantial challenges in the fight against Covid-19, not to mention significant economic pressures that are diverting attention away from sustainability issues. However, improved sustainability is still important, and remains a crucial mid- to long-term goal.
Even in the current environment, the need for long-term change within the aviation industry is an important talking point. Following the inaugural meeting of the UK Department for Transport’s Net Zero Board, it was announced that international shipping and aviation would form part of the UK Government’s Net Zero Target in coming years, placing even greater impetus on greener aviation. The UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) also recently announced plans to invest £400 million in green aerospace technology and research.
It is not just down to aerospace design engineers to make aviation greener. Everyone has their own part to play, including the end user. A few years ago, many airlines and their customers embraced the UN Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation. There are many ways aviation companies can offset emissions, but possibly the most impactful is by incorporating biofuels in their fuel stock.
Derived from waste, biofuels offer significant value to airlines. Since biofuel is developed using waste materials produced by other industrial sectors such as agriculture, transitioning to biofuels not only reduces CO2 emissions, but it does not require additional energy output or compete with existing crops.
Renovare Fuels is currently developing second generation biofuels for aviation, providing objectively carbon-neutral fuel sources for end users. Perhaps the biggest advantage of adopting these fuels is that simply by partnering with a biofuel producer, airlines create sustainable fuel supply chains that have a significant impact in terms of offsetting emissions. Although this is just one option for making aviation more sustainable, it certainly shows a great deal of promise. Industry experts point out that while the BEIS is right to address the need for supplemental research into technologies which support better fuel economies, it is unquestionably beneficial for end users to adopt biofuels in terms of offsetting CO2 emissions. For green aviation to really get off the ground, experts say it is vital for end users to take meaningful steps now, embracing carbon-neutral fuel sources to curb overall emission levels. | aerospace |

Mars has long captivated astronomers and space scientists. There are certain aspects about the planet that make it both suitable and at the same time lethal for the growth of any kind of life on it. During the late 60s, NASA detected traces of water on the Red Planet. A detailed analysis showed that Mars had indeed been home to various lakes and soils in the past. Mars, despite its relatively high temperature, is ecologically very similar to Earth. It contains all the necessary elements and atmosphere required for life forms to develop and flourish.*
Mars has also long captivated artists, but it is not until now has it been possible for artists and art lovers to find art on Mars via a stunning interactive Mars Panorama which allows the viewer the closest view of Mars, ever. By looking at the formations, designs, the light and shadows, it is possible for you to create your own artistic images from Mars itself.
MARS PANORAMA – ART IN THE NEW MEDIA
A link to the panorama: Mars Gigapixel Panorama – Curiosity rover: Martian solar days 136-149 in Out of this World
As written by Christopher MacManus in ZDNet March 30, 2013,
A stunning 4-gigapixel panorama of Mars, compiled from images captured by two mast cameras aboard NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, could be one of the most detailed views of our distant neighbor yet.
The panoramic picture of Gale Crater derives from 295 images that were digitally stitched together by Estonian photographer Andrew Bodrov. In its final form, the mosaic stretches out to an astounding 90,000 by 45,000-pixel resolution.
A STARTER – MARS IN THE ABSTRACT
To help you get started, here are some images from Mars that could grace the walls of any Fine Art Museum in the World.

MORE MARS ART
Click here for more stunning images of Mars as Art. This NASA exhibition in 2007 showcased images from all the Mars missions. The images were selected for their aesthetic rather than scientific value. Scientists nominated 5,000 images, and a panel of professional artists, photographers, and photo editors narrowed the selection down to less than 50.
NOW, MARS ART BY YOU
1. Chose a Mars image (Google) and see if you can create your own art from Mars. Use the shapes, geometry, light, shadows, colors, and scale of the planet itself and any enhancements (photoshop) you wish.
2. Look again, closely, at the Mars Panaroma and see if you can create your own art from Mars. Here, the objective is not to look for the “little green men” (or “gray” as Mulder claimed in the X Files), but to use the shapes, geometry, light, shadows, colors, and scale of the planet itself and any enhancements (Photoshop) you wish, to create your own art from Mars.
System Requirements: Human brain, creativity, curiosity, patience, observation, and attention span of 10.0 or above.
Warning: Can take hours or, as with all art, even a lifetime. | aerospace |

World Fastest Civil Aircraft
Gulfstream G650 is the world fastest civil non-military aircraft ever.
Since the 1960s, the Gulfstream jet has been synonymous with the fastest, ultra luxury business travel regardless of cost – only 1600 have ever been made but now, the company is raising the bar with a new ultra-large cabin G650 due in 2012.
The US$58.5 million G650 is capable of traveling 7,000 nautical miles (8055 miles) at 0.85 Mach (647 ph/1,041 km/h) or 5,000 nautical miles (5,753 miles) at 0.90 Mach (685 mph/1,102 km/h) and has a top speed of 0.925 Mach (794 mph/1,133 km/h), which will make it the fastest non-military aircraft flying. It will even cruise at 51,000 ft, in order to avoid airline-traffic congestion and adverse weather. | aerospace |

Everything about this aircraft was checked and cleared for safety by the Federal Aviation Administration. On Jan. 4, 2009, $7 million aircraft was brought down after a collision with a red-tailed hawk.
Seven minutes into flight, the helicopter hit a red-tailed hawk, shattering the windshields and plunging the 6-ton aircraft into the marshes below. Eight people died from this incident.
Everything about the helicopter seemed modern and fine, but upon close inspection, it was found that this accident could have been prevented if safety standards were actually enforced. According to USA Today, “ its windshields were made of acrylic and didn't meet strength standards the FAA established in 1996 to prevent catastrophe in a bird strike. The FAA allowed the lighter acrylic windshields because the helicopter had only to meet federal safety standards from when it was designed — in 1978.”
This is “absolutely crazy” as retired colonel, air-safety expert, and former commander of the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory Dennis Shanahan puts it. "This is essentially an abrogation of (the FAA's) responsibilities as a safety agency." The aircraft passed inspection because of an exemption policy called “grandfathering,” which gives manufacturers the right to construct brand-new aircraft under the safety standards that were in place when the aircraft was designed sometimes decades earlier. The Piper Cherokee, for instance, needed to only meet the federal safety standards that were set for the airplane from the 1960s and 1970s.
These policies have obviously led to dangerous repercussions. Since 1964, nearly 45,000 have been killed from crashes in private flights. Safety deficiencies have contributed to thousands of these deaths.

available, to those who can remove one of truths protective layers.”
Neil Armstrong, “First Man on the Moon”
July 20th, 1994
It has now been forty years since the fabled moon landings by NASA and the Apollo gang. When it comes to the subject of the moon landings, people tend to fall into two belief groups. The first group, by far the bigger of the two groups, accepts the fact that NASA successfully landed on the moon six times and that 12 human beings have actually walked on the surface of the moon. The second group, though far smaller, is more vocal about their beliefs. This group says that we never went to the moon and that the entire thing was faked.
This essay presents a third position on this issue. This third point of view falls somewhere between these two assertions. This third position postulates that humans did go to the moon but what we saw on TV and in photographs was completely faked.
Furthermore, this third position reveals that the great filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is the genius who directed the hoaxed landings.
It is being reported that the Apollo 11 missions, which landed men for the first time on the moon, was in fact fake.
One of the astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission, Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, confirmed that the Apollo 11 missions were “fake” and that the the videos of the mission are simply showing a setup that was created to simulate how the moon and space would look. “Apollo 11 was not real, none of it was” Buzz Aldrin said in a video he recorded confessing to the Apollo 11 hoax, “I am ashamed to say this but I cannot hide it anymore, it was a setup, like the ones they use in Hollywood films, back in the 60’s, the U.S. was competing with the Soviet Union to achieve space flight supremacy, which was known as the “space race”. We were afraid the Soviets would beat us to the moon so we decided to fake the moon landings of Apollo 11 to say we were greater than the Soviets” concluded Buzz.
This explains NASA’s claim that they had “accidently” recorded over only the high quality recordings of the orginal moon landing tapes in 2006. How can an organization as big as NASA be careless enough to accidently record over, perhaps, their most important achievement to date? Buzz Aldrin also decided to confess about the Apollo 11 missions via Twitter, which was later deleted. It is believed the CIA demanded Twitter staff to deleted Buzz Aldrin’s tweet.

The aviation industry is a complex and highly regulated industry which is critical to the global economy. The industry includes regulatory bodies that work and function to keep all businesses involved to strict guidelines ensuring maximum efficiency and safety.
In addition to safety organisations such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), there are several other globally known aviation regulatory organisations responsible for overseeing various aspects of the industry beyond safety.
Regulatory organisations and bodies within the aviation industry are extremely important. Dealing with different laws and regulations across the globe, businesses in aviation have a lot of different rules and bylaws to consider. These regulatory bodies help keep all businesses within aviation held accountable and ensure that the laws are clear.
BagsID works alongside all aviation regulatory organisations to make sure our business fits seamlessly with regulatory and security measures. Here are a few that we deal with regularly.
International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)
The International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) is a global standard for airline safety management. It was developed by IATA to provide a standardised and systematic approach to airline safety management.
The IOSA audit covers eight critical areas of airline safety management, including flight operations, maintenance, cabin operations, ground handling, cargo operations, security management, organisational management, and operational control and flight dispatch. Airlines that meet the IOSA standards are recognised for their commitment to safety and operational excellence.
The IOSA program is not mandatory for airlines, but many airlines choose to participate voluntarily. Airlines that participate in the IOSA program benefit from improved safety management and increased operational efficiency. The program also helps airlines to meet the safety requirements of regulators and customers.
BagsID partners with airports and airlines that operate within the standard IOSA practices, to ensure that our processes and procedures are working efficiently across the airport and airlines.
International Air Transport Association Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO)
The International Air Transport Association Safety Audit for Ground Operations (ISAGO) is a global standard for ground handling safety.
It was developed by IATA to provide a standardised and systematic approach to ground handling safety management. The ISAGO program assesses a ground handling company's operational management and control systems against a set of globally recognized standards and best practices.
The ISAGO audit covers seven critical areas of ground handling safety management, including organisation and management, load control, passenger and baggage handling, aircraft handling and loading, aircraft ground movement, cargo and mail handling, and aircraft de-icing. The program also helps ground handling companies to meet the safety requirements of airlines and regulators.
BagsID is highly operational within the ground handling aspect of airport and aviation regulations. We offer a solution to make sure handling is efficient, automated where possible and cost-effective for the airport as a business.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is an agency of the United States Department of Transportation responsible for regulating civil aviation in the United States.
It was established in 1958 and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. The FAA's primary role is to ensure the safety and efficiency of the US airspace system. It does this by setting standards and regulations for aircraft design and maintenance, pilot training and certification, air traffic control, and airport operations.
The FAA also plays a critical role in the certification and approval of aircraft and aviation products. Manufacturers must demonstrate that their products meet the FAA's safety standards before they can be sold and operated in the United States.
The FAA also oversees the inspection and maintenance of aircraft and aviation products to ensure they remain safe and reliable throughout their operational life.
BagsID products are developed in line with FAA regulations to help ease airlines and airports into using BagsID to better track baggage in order to appease the passenger journey and how airlines can contribute.
Other Aviation Regulatory Bodies
Other regulatory bodies within the aviation sector include certain countries' commissions and authorities. An example being the UK Civil Aviation Authority.
The UK CAA keeps track of and helps push policy to protect consumers, commercial aviation businesses, international aviation and even other flight regulations like drones and space.
The CAA also helps facilitate safe and law-abiding innovation. These are the types of businesses that BagsID works closely with.
While baggage tracking is not a new idea, the way that BagsID is approaching baggage tracking is using the latest technology, which is new for any regulatory body to consider across the aviation industry.
Why are these organisations important for businesses in the aviation industry?
The aviation industry is highly regulated, and businesses operating in this industry must comply with a range of standards and regulations to ensure the safety of passengers, crew, and cargo.
The globally known aviation regulatory organisations play a critical role in developing and enforcing these standards and regulations.
As an operator within the aviation industry, BagsID will continue to comply and work with all regulation bodies to ensure that BagsID can easily be applied to airports and airlines globally.

The radios are capable of handling voice communications between air traffic controllers and pilots throughout every phase of a flight. The air traffic controllers are connected to the radio stations sited at airports and at remote locations over a VCS – a setup that enables comprehensive, nationwide radio coverage encompassing all flight levels.
Exceptional reliability and low operating costs are the most important requirements to be met by radiocommunications systems. The outstanding RF characteristics of the R&S®Series4200 allow a large number of radios to be concentrated at a single location. Rohde&Schwarz can supply complete systems for radio sites, including antennas, filters, couplers and racks.
R&S®Series4200 radios are also ideal for airport apron communications. Their compact size means that they are easy to install in spite of the often cramped conditions in control towers. Plus, their ability to be operated locally as well as via a remote control unit makes them ideal for use in small-scale systems, which generally do not require a complex VCS.
More than 200 airports and control centers rely on our ATC communications systems.
Subsidiaries and offices in more than 70 countries provide local, on-site customer-care.
Civil air traffic control agencies in 80 countries count on our communications systems.
Air traffic density has risen significantly in the last 20 years. Greater demands on airspace capacity means increased safety risks such as undetected simultaneous transmissions (USiT). If two pilots speak at the same time to the controller, there is a danger that the weaker signal will go undetected, leading to a loss of information.
Rohde & Schwarz has developed an innovative solution to this long-standing problem. The receiver-based digital signal processing of the stationary R&S®Series4200 VHF/UHF radios makes it possible to detect multiple parallel radio transmissions. Rohde & Schwarz is the first supplier to offer detection of simultaneous transmissions (DSiT) in its ATC radios. | aerospace |

From Chitty Chitty bang bang, to Doc Brown’s time-traveling DeLorean, it has been a long-standing dream that one day flying cars will be the primary choice for personal transport. In the last few months or so we have seen an explosion of discussion around this, I was even recently invited by Peter Campbell, Motoring Editor, Financial Times, to give a speech at the FT’s Future of The Car Summit to answer the question: ‘The Prospects for the Flying Car – Science fiction or science fact?’
Here’s my take on it all.
Where are we currently?
Drones and helicopters may seem very different flying machines, however, they have very similar attributes. Both are extremely good at taking off and setting down in confined spaces due to their propulsion systems, however, they are a lot less efficient at cruising over distances. While drones have demonstrated the ability to make low-cost flying machines perfectly controllable for everyone, helicopters have proved that this can have limitations particularly regarding the costs when used for personal flight.
A dual-mode approach with vertical take-off and landing and fixed wing cruising helps efficiency over distance but adds weight, and mechanical complexity – requires more energy, more fuel, and costs. So unless we can get to solutions that are cost-effective, quiet and emit very little CO2, are safe, reliable and easy to use – then we are not actually going to solve any of our transport issues.
A flying Leaf
Let’s use the trusty Nissan Leaf to illustrate the point. To do a 100-mile trip (the average number of miles I get to a full charge with my Leaf) while airborne I’d need a lot more energy than on the road, to overcome the forces of gravity and drag. If, theoretically, we had a way to get that car into the air, really efficiently, the energy stored in that battery would be depleted by hovering at 50 ft in under a minute.
To provide the ‘theoretical’ energy to get that approximate two tonnes of vehicle and any passengers airborne and then keep it in the air and fly it 100 miles, would require the equivalent of 500kWh of battery energy – adding about four tonnes in weight. Of course this is a never ending cycle – because I would need much more battery power to provide the energy to lift that additional four tonnes of battery – and things very quickly escalate in a way that we cannot add energy and power fast enough as we add even more weight.
So, will there ever be flying cars?
Well, in some form, and some day, yes of course there will be, but we need to get the definition right.
The notion of a car that looks like a car which at the flick of a switch instantly takes off and flies a la Jetsons, I would say that’s not something that our car or aircraft company planning departments need to get too worried for the foreseeable future. In the end cars and planes are two very separate technologies, that although it is possible to combine, you create something that doesn’t work that well as either.
But future on-demand urban air transport services certainly offers a great deal more potential.
There are plenty of companies racing towards a future of flying cars. One example is Munich-based Lilium Aviation announced an all-important milestone, with the first test flight of its all-electric, two-seater, vertical take-off and landing prototype vehicle. It is powered by 36 separate electric jet engines mounted on 10-metre long wings via 12 movable flaps. The flaps point downwards to allow vertical take-off and then are able to reposition to a horizontal position to provide forward thrust. They claim a 300km range, 300km/h velocity and less noise than a motorcycle.
Others such as Uber and Airbus have proposed projects in the near future that test their concepts in the race to achieving the personal mobility in the air.
So how do we do it?
We must still overcome the self-same issues that the automotive and aerospace industries are trying to overcome today.
We need to continue to develop battery performance with significant improvements to cost, weight, package, charging times and so on. Advanced lightweight technology, and improvements to electric motors and power electronics are also essential for the automotive industry today and to set the foundations for a future flying car industry.
Beyond propulsion, autonomous vehicle technology will be a game changer. It is expected it will revolutionise ownership models, usage models and usher in seamless end-to-end transportation. These will show the way for the required regulatory frameworks as well as de-skilling driving, and ultimately de-skilling flying, making both safer to the point where flying personal mobility could well be accessible for many.
In the UK we have a long tradition of invention and innovation. Rebuilding the UK automotive supply chain in the advanced, next generation technologies – advanced batteries, motors, power electronics and range extenders – Is a critical mission for the Advanced Propulsion Centre and the UK car industry.
We are a nation of inventors and if the flying car is really going to be a next generation of personal transport someday then the UK will most definitely be the place to start the search. | aerospace |

Unsupervised glacier terminus detection in satellite imagery using the 2D Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima (WTMM) segmentation method. GeoComputation 2019
conference contributionposted on 2019-12-01, 23:24 authored by Julia Liu, Ellyn Enderlin, Andre Khalil
We adapt a program used for delineating mouse chromosome territories in fluorescence microscopy images using the automated multi-scale 2D Wavelet Transform Modulus Maxima (WTMM) segmentation method to map glacier termini in satellite images. The goal of the project is to develop an unsupervised approach to efficiently quantify glacier terminus changes from satellite images so that we can investigate the spatial and temporal patterns in terminus
change and explore the environmental factors driving them. Here we describe the adapted method, which we have applied to a subset of glaciers spanning Greenland’s periphery for method development and error quantification. Although we focus here on only a small subset of the 641 marine-terminating glaciers around Greenland’s periphery and panchromatic imagery from the Landsat 8 satellite, the unsupervised method will be used to construct terminus position time series for all of Greenland’s peripheral marine-terminating glaciers using the full ~40-year Landsat satellite imagery archive. | aerospace |

With fewer than 50 active Covid-19 cases, Australia is experiencing a domestic holiday boom as internal travel restrictions ease. The scale of the recovery suggests air passenger traffic, which has been smashed globally by the crisis, can quickly recover if the threat of infection subsides.
Jetstar said Tuesday it plans an unprecedented 850 return flights a week on 55 routes by the end of March, more than 110% of its schedule before Covid-19. Airbus SE A320 planes that usually fly to Bali, Singapore and other overseas destinations will operate the extra services.
Jetstar is stoking demand for flights from mid-January onward with a sale of 300,000 seats, some of them as cheap as A$29 ($22). Almost 90% of Australians plan to travel domestically in 2021, the airline said, citing its own survey of 1,500 people.

Plane crashes are horrific events, but must be thoroughly investigated in order to determine the cause, and more importantly, to learn how to prevent similar crashes from taking place in the future.
Of course, official investigations will always be controlled by the government agency responsible for regulating air traffic and safety, but in many cases, private investigations are also commissioned, particularly by families of victims aboard.
This essay examines the niche sector of aviation accident investigation in the professional detective sector.
Plane Crash Investigation Details
Commercial airliner disasters will be subject to more in-depth governmental investigations than private plane crashes. In fact, the majority of private investigations into aviation crashes involve private planes that went down.
Airplane crashes will be big news anywhere in the world, and many times, the official verdict of the cause is undetermined or controversial. In these cases, there is a far greater chance of a private sector investigation being started, to hopefully fill in some of the blanks that remain missing in the official governmental investigation.
Some of the biggest clients for private investigation services regarding plane crashes are the very same companies that operate the doomed airborne vehicles. In many cases, private investigative specialists are brought in for damage control by the company which owned and operated the plane which crashed.
Aviation Investigation Professionals
Aviation investigators are extremely niche focused detectives. These highly trained and experienced investigators generally have advanced graduate degrees in a related field and have a long and rich history in the aviation industry. Many are former or current air force personnel or commercial pilots. Some are engineers and mechanical specialists. All are acutely aware of how and why airplanes might fail.
Hiring an aviation investigator is not easy, compared to other types of detective specialists. There are only a small number of these types of airplane detectives worldwide and their fees are very costly. However, for appropriate circumstances in which a secondary investigation is warranted for a crash, there is no better value for the dollar than hiring one of the best. This way, the client stands the best hope of finding important information which may allow closure, both legally and personally.
Plane Crash Investigation Services
Airplane crashes touch all of us, since the fear of flying is widespread and affects many people. The feeling of being completely without the safety controls that we take for granted during most of our lives is blatantly obvious on a commercial airliner.
When the unthinkable happens, the public demands answers and these aviation investigation specialists are the ones who will step up to discover what went wrong. No one wants a crash to be classified as stemming from undetermined cause. We all want answers, so that next time we fly, we will have confidence, instead of fear.
For the families of victims, an explanation of the events which claimed their loved ones is the least they can hope for. Thanks to plane crash specialists, most cases of airline loss can be traced to a specific event, or situation, and the families can better understand the tragic circumstances that took their loved ones away. | aerospace |

The challenges of developing and executing new IT solutions for the aerospace and defense quality management systems are numerous. Conducting a thorough first article inspection is merely one of a myriad of such challenges when coordinating operations with aerospace and defense manufacturers worldwide. The problem of training employees to overcome the unforeseen obstacles of an increasingly competitive global industry presents an even greater challenge. Adhering to regulatory compliance standards only complicates quality assurance challenges further. To overcome these three challenges, you require integrated IT solutions that are unique to the global aerospace and defense industry.
First Article Inspection
In the aerospace and defense industry, a properly performed first article inspection can unearth any number of your products’ process and nonconformity issues. Satisfying contractual obligations to execute the specific engineering and design elements of your products requires smart IT solutions that streamline the inspection process as thoroughly as possible. Products deemed nonconforming by a first article inspection can offset the scheduled completion of your small and large-scale aerospace and defense projects alike.
Compiling requisite documentation presents a unique issue when submitting first article inspection reports. Even with the availability of sophisticated IT environments, paper-driven quality control systems remain problematic when analyzing system inefficiency. Manufacturing and testing procedures alone must be accounted for and listed according to all constituent elements, including sub-assemblies. Disclosing all your non-conformance documentation is another challenge to overcome, too. IQS offers you an integrated software solution to the challenge of properly documenting first article inspection.
Employee Skills and Training
The human resource challenges of the aerospace and defense industry are unique. In 2007, the Aerospace Industries Association published statistics showing that nearly 60 percent of the aerospace workforce in the U.S. was over the age of 45. As these employees begin to exit your workforce upon retirement, you must find new strategies to develop skills and train the next generation of employees. Accomplishing this goal requires leveraging existing and innovative IT resources to maximize the efficiency of your skill training programs.
Products developed in the aerospace and defense industry have a lifecycle measured in decades. To bring your new workers up to speed, you must turn towards developing novel knowledge management systems. Workforce transition programs and long-term succession planning are two other solutions to the “knowledge gap” challenge. The IQS IT solution gives you the flexibility to implement tailored employee skills and training programs that are unique to the aerospace and defense industry.
Complying with constantly evolving regulatory standards requires you to remain vigilant and proactive. AS 9100 expands upon ISO 9000 standards, pertaining to the aerospace and defense industry specifically. As such, you face new compliance challenges with each iteration of all AS 9100 standards. Uniformity within the aerospace and defense industry has been a long-standing problem. Balancing the cost of quality issues with the challenge of meeting regulatory compliance standards remains difficult to achieve in an increasingly competitive global economic environment. With each technology refresh, regulatory compliance has become more complicated, requiring creative IT solutions to execute compliance initiatives. IQS’ software solution allows you to accommodate the unique quality and safety assurance standards specific to the aerospace and defense industry.
First article inspections, employee training programs and complying with AS 9100 standards remain a constant challenge in the global aerospace and defense industry. By offering an integrated software solution, IQS provides you with a novel, flexible platform to meet these three challenges proactively. | aerospace |

Hey, thanks for starting this discussion. I am also thinking of trading my pu in for a van. I've been contemplating a used VW which has good carrying capacity and is economical to drive. I am also interested in the smaller vans such as the astro, but I never looked into them because I simply thought that a 4x8 sheet wouldn't fit with the doors closed. Is this true or false?
buy astro van
We bought a 97 astrovan last summer with 39k miles on it and paid $8700(so. cal.) After researching by talking to knowlegable friends and another chevy mechanic, they reassured us that it was a good deal. Best thing is that most of the years that this car was made, the parts are interchangeable(for the most part) and it's they only van that actually sits on a truck chasis. As one friend said"chevy just seemed to evolve the van with improvements, whereas other makes are revamped every few years."
If you only put 10,000 miles a year on your vehicle then an astro van is OK, I used one for long distance towing and after the second day I kept trying to chew my left leg off. (no place to really put it that was comfortable)
I had a v6 astro. and it was old when I got it. Those motors run and run. I put 100k mi on it. traveling to havasue arizona from so cal with my boat in toe, doing the travel softball thing with my daughter. Also I had a business that requiered alot of delivering, I'm not sure there all like mine was, but i used to load that thing to the teeth, I calculated a few times and knew I had over 2000 pounds in it. you can put 2 pallets there with the seats out.
Space shuttle Endeavour's six STS-134 astronauts, in orange launch-and-entry suits, wave in front of the Astrovan parked in front of the Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. From left, are Mission Specialists Greg Chamitoff, Andrew Feustel, Roberto Vittori with the European Space Agency and Michael Fincke, Pilot Greg H. Johnson, and Commander Mark Kelly.
The six astronauts of Endeavour's STS-134 mission - the final flight of NASA's youngest orbiter - depart the Operations & Checkout building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. on May 16. The astronauts boarded the "Astro Van" at 5:11 a.m. EDT to journey to Endeavour's seaside Launch Pad 39A.
The astronauts of STS-134 came to Kennedy Space Center recently for countdown rehearsal. The real countdown for Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled for Friday afternoon, April 29, 2011. From left, the astronauts are Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Gregory H. Johnson and Mission Specialists Mike Fincke, Drew Feustel, Roberto Vittori and Greg Chamitoff. 041b061a72 | aerospace |

We know what happening inside the spacecraft but we don’t really know how the journey to the moon and back affected those who experienced it — what happened inside the astronauts?
I would strongly recommend the book to anyone with an interest in understanding the history of America’s moon programme. I really enjoyed both the writing and the material that was unearthed about these men. Not wanting to spoil too much of the book, I will just highlight I found the following points particularly interesting.
- The way the early astronauts were selected was (by today’s standard) perhaps amateurish and there was fascinating diversity in the Astronauts that might not be tolerated today.
- All of the moon walkers were only or first sons.
- Of each pair who landed on the moon was there something that changed the LM (Lunar Module) pilots (who actually had little to do with flying the LM) or simply that the mission commanders were chosen to be more focused and less imaginative?
- There are no posed pictures of Neil Armstrong on the surface of the moon
Go read the book!Posted on July 19, 2019 #History #Space | aerospace |

These technologies are likely to include advanced propulsion systems, advanced sensor systems, and new materials and structures.
Advanced propulsion systems will likely include fusion and antimatter propulsion. Fusion propulsion uses the energy generated by nuclear fusion to propel a spacecraft, while antimatter propulsion uses the energy generated by the annihilation of matter and antimatter to propel a spacecraft. These systems are likely to be much more efficient than current propulsion systems, allowing for faster and more efficient travel to distant locations.
Advanced sensor systems will likely include advanced imaging systems, spectrometers, and radar systems. These systems will allow for greater detail and accuracy in the detection and analysis of distant objects and phenomena. They will also allow for more efficient navigation and communication between spacecraft and other vessels.
New materials and structures will likely include more robust and lightweight materials, such as graphene and carbon nanotubes, and more complex and efficient structures, such as space elevators. These technologies will allow for the construction of more efficient and durable spacecraft and other vessels, which can operate in a variety of environments and withstand the rigors of space travel.
Overall, future civilizations will likely have access to a wide variety of advanced technologies, allowing them to explore the universe with greater speed, efficiency, and accuracy than ever before.
