Our Government understands that our Canadian Forces require the right tools to do their job safely, swiftly, and effectively to strengthen our sovereignty. We have done this through the recent acquisition of helicopters and Unarmed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
On August 07, the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence and the Honourable Christian Paradis, Minister of Public Works and Government Services, announced that Canada would be securing the lease of six commercial helicopters to address immediate needs, as well as the purchase of six used Chinook D model helicopters. These helicopters will be available for operations by February 2009.
Our Government has also procured a small Scan Eagle UAV, to address immediate needs of the Canadian Forces over the next nine months. Furthermore, our Government has secured a two-year lease of a Heron UAV tactical system that will be delivered by early 2009. A long-term UAV solution is currently being developed that will include domestic and deployed operational UAV capabilities. The acquisition of UAVs will help ensure that our Canadian Forces have the air assets required to undertake any mission asked of them, while allowing Canada to play a leadership role abroad by making a meaningful contribution abroad and protecting Canada’s national sovereignty.
Additional helicopter lift capacity and more UAVs for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance were conditions set out in the March 13th parliamentary motion to extend Canada’s military mission in Afghanistan until 2011. These additional air resources were also one of the recommendations of the Independent Panel on Canada’s Future Role in Afghanistan, headed by the Honourable John Manley.
The helicopters will allow commanders the flexibility to reduce ground-based resupply convoys and more easily reach remote locations in challenging environments where they could be at risk of ambushes, land mines, and improvised explosive devices.
These recent investments in our Canadian Forces are invaluable to our military leaders and will not only significantly assist in protecting Canadian sovereignty, but will allow Canada to play an important leadership role abroad. Our Government takes these matters very seriously and will continue to deliver results and the support our Canadian Forces require and deserve. | aerospace |

Due to COVID-19, the demand for passengers has declined significantly while freight demand has remained steady and increased in certain cases.
Due to decreasing demand for air travel, the carrier had previously grounded multiple 787 Dreamliners while suspending many important routes, such as Nairobi – Amsterdam, and Nairobi – Paris.
The airline now has decided to convert two of its grounded Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners for use in full freighter operations. Kenya Airways currently has nine 787s in its fleet.
Kenya Airways will use both 787-8 freighters to carry essential cargo to and from Nairobi. Kenya is a major exporter of agricultural products, especially in terms of fruits and vegetables.
Using both aircraft contributes to Kenya’s economy, as it allows the country to move its goods more simply. It is currently unknown how long the airline will use both aircraft for full freighter operations. | aerospace |

It was a hybrid between a helicopter and a turbo-prop airplane. There is also an article about it on Wikipedia, and a short one at pilotfriend.com.
It was designed for taking off vertically and then traveling horizontally. Thus, it had a large, four-bladed rotor (with tip-jets) and two turboprops mounted in the fixed wings.
It was designed and built in the 1950-ies by Fairey Aviation and intended for commercial and military applications. As can be seen from the images below, it had remarkable carrying capacity.
The development was government funded, and when the British government decided to drop it – the project came to an end. It was claimed that cancellation was due to excessive noise that the craft generated. According to the Wikipedia article, the engineers apparently were able to reduce the noise levels, but it was too late in the project timeline. After the program was terminated, the Rotodyne was dismantled. “A single fuselage bay, as pictured, plus rotors and rotorhead mast are on display at The Helicopter Museum, Weston-super-Mare.”
Another article on BBC Future (May 2016), Why helicopter airliners haven’t happened yet, attempts to explain the advancements and the difficulties with rotor-based vertical takeoff and landing. The modern approaches seem to focus on tilt-rotor designs. However, to me, there seems something inherently right in the separate layout of the Rotodyne. May be it is just aesthetic. | aerospace |

Detailed 1/72 scale assembly model kit of the North American Aviation XB-70 Valkyrie, a prototype six-engine, supersonic, nuclear-armed deep penetration bomber developed for the United States Air Force. The XB-70 project was a highly ambitious and equally expensive project with the aim to produce a high-speed bomber able of penetrating Soviet air space, out-running fighters scrambled to intercept it, and delivering its deadly nuclear payload on target and return to base safely. The knowledge of the American XB-70 project sent Soviet military planners into panic mode, and prompting them to develop the Mach 3 plus MiG-25 Foxbat to counter the potential threat of the XB-70. The introduction of more advanced surface-to-air missiles (SAM) eventually made the XB-70 obsolete, and the type never entered operational service. Two prototype XB-70s were built, and one crashed following a midair collision in 1966. The sole surviving XB-70 prototype is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Ohio. This Italeri 1/72 scale assembly kit features: Large model, model measures 30.94 inches long when fully assembled. Detailed injection molded plastic. Highly detailed fuselage, interior and landing gear. Decal sheet with authentic markings. Illustrated assembly guide included.

A sightseeing plane crashed in southeast Alaska Thursday, killing all nine people on board, according to the company that operates the tours.
The plane was carrying the pilot and eight passengers from Holland America Line who were on a sightseeing tour of the Misty Fjords, which they booked through the cruise line. "There are no survivors," the plane's operator, Promech Air, said in a statement..
The crash occurred around 12:20 PT, about 20 miles northeast of Ketchikan, Alaska, according to Holland America.
A helicopter spotted the wreckage of the plane, which had been reported missing, against against the granite rock face of a cliff, 800 feet above Ella Lake, but rain and wind prevented the recovery of the bodies from the crash site, located in rough terrain.
"The initial rescue crew that went in had a very tough time because of the terrain," Clint Johnson, head of the National Transportation Safety Board's Alaska office, told the Associated Press. "It's a very steep, mountainous area, and weather conditions caused them to stand down.'
Another attempt to reach the crash site will be made Friday, officials said.
Johnson it was too early to determine what caused the DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter turboprop to crash, including if the plane flew into the cliff.
The NTSB is sending its Alaska "go-team" to investigate the crash, the agency said in a tweet. The team will include three members from Alaska and at least two people from Washington, D.C., according to AP.
The Coast Guard was informedt around 2:15 p.m. that the plane was overdue, Petty Officer Lauren Steenson told AP. An emergency locator transmitter activated in the Misty Fjords National Monument helped searchers spot the downed plane.
"There is nothing I can say that can alleviate the pain and overwhelming sense of loss that we and the loved ones of those affected are feeling," Marcus Sessoms, president of Promech Air, said in statement. "At this moment, all of us share the pain and anguish of this terrible event. Our thoughts and our prayers go out to everyone touched by this tragedy."
The plane is one of five DeHavilland DHC-3 Otter turboprops operated by Promech Air, which is based in Ketchikan.
The passengers were on a on seven-day cruise aboard the Westerdam, which left Alaska on June 20, Holland America said.
"We are incredibly distressed by this situation, and our thoughts and prayers are with those onboard the plane and their families," the cruise line said in statement. "Holland America Line is extending its full support to traveling companions of the guests involved."
"To fully appreciate the vastness of the Misty Fjords National Monument, you must see it from the air," Holland America says in an advertisement for the excursion. "See sheer granite cliffs, 1,000-foot waterfalls, crystalline lakes and low-hanging mists on your flight from Tongass Narrows over Revillagigedo Island to Misty Fjords."
The names of the victims are being withheld until their families have been notified.

April 12, 1961 dawned like any other day. There was nothing to suspect that this date would mark the beginning of the era of manned space travel. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, preparations were under way in a remote part of the Kazakh steppe to launch a spaceship with "Cosmonaut No. 1". Like the exact location of the Tyura-Tam Cosmodrome (later known as Baikonur), its identity was top secret. The protagonist of the feat would be a young 27-year-old Soviet pilot named Yuri Alexeievich Gagarin, born into a humble family of Kolkhoz farmers.
A rocket awaited the cosmonaut on the same ramp from where an R-1957 Semyorka missile ("seven" in Russian) had taken off almost four years earlier (7) with the first artificial satellite in history, the famous Sputnik 1. In fact, the rocket was a variant of the venerable and robust Semyorka to which a third stage had been added to increase its payload. Its official designation was 8K82K, but it would be known by the same name as the spacecraft it was supposed to put into orbit, Vostok ("East" in Russian).
While the launcher was preparing for takeoff, Gagarin and his deputy, Gherman Titov, slept a couple of kilometers away in a small cabin. Or rather, they made them sleep, because the cosmonauts had been unable to sleep all night. At 5:30 a.m. in Moscow, the doctors woke up the two men. After breakfast and a final medical examination, they donned their striking orange Sokol SK-1 pressure suits to facilitate rescue operations. At 6 am they met Grigori Nelyubov - the third alternate cosmonaut - and headed for the launch pad aboard a small bus. The rocket was already loaded with fuel, ready to go. There, the legendary Chief Engineer, Sergey Korolev, responsible for the Vostok program and creator of the R-30 rocket, awaited them.
The first trip
This first space trip would be very short and would consist of a single orbit around the Earth. The Vostok flew over the southern regions of South America and headed towards the African continent. Forty minutes after take-off, the vehicle's automatic guidance system kicked into gear, lining up the spacecraft in the opposite direction to orbital advance in anticipation of the impending braking ignition. While flying over Africa and while it was still about five thousand miles from its landing site, the Vostok fired its small TDU engine to slow down. Not much, but enough so that its trajectory now intersected the higher layers of the atmosphere.
The power-up goes off without a hitch, but Gagarin soon realizes that something is wrong. The spherical capsule (SA) in which it is located should have separated from the service module (PA) shortly after the end of the braking maneuver, but the expected separation does not take place. If the spacecraft enters the atmosphere at 28.000 km / h with the service module still attached, the capsule will be seriously damaged, probably killing its passenger. Gagarin feels the Vostok spinning rapidly around all its axes as the atmospheric friction begins to make itself felt. It's a life or death situation, but Yuri remains calm. The temperature outside increases rapidly, as does the deceleration. Fortunately, ten minutes after braking, the reentry heat eventually melts the fasteners that held the sphere to the service module. The capsule, finally free, is automatically oriented so that its heat shield can cope with the almost 3.000ºC temperature. Surrounded by a ball of plasma, Gagarin now feels the deceleration (negative acceleration) increase progressively until his weight is eight times the usual. But the young pilot is undeterred. His training has prepared him for this occasion.
At the end of the critical reentry phase, the spacecraft continues in free fall through the atmosphere. At seven kilometers up, the rear hatch of the capsule is separated by the action of several explosive bolts and immediately afterwards Gagarin is ejected in his seat by the action of several thrusters. Next, Yuri's parachute unfolds, initiating a slow descent to the ground. Gagarin can see a large river in the distance, so he correctly assumes that it must be the Volga. Just at that moment, the duffel bag with the emergency parachute comes off unexpectedly, hanging at his feet. Yuri fears for a moment that the secondary parachute will open and entangle with the main parachute, but nothing happens and she breathes calmly again. Due to the late separation from the service module, the landing site differs significantly from that expected, so there is no rescue team waiting for you. But Gagarin doesn't care. As he descends, he knows that the hardest part of the mission is over. The weather is magnificent: a wonderful sunny spring day welcomes the first cosmonaut as he makes a soft landing at 11:00 a.m. on April 12, 1961. Gagarin doesn't know it yet, but he has made landfall near Smelovka, a small town in the Saratov region.
After 60 years
Now, after 60 years, space research plays an increasingly important role for all of humanity. The Soviet Union has always advocated the peaceful use of outer space as an exclusive area of cooperation, and Russia honors that tradition by maintaining extensive international ties in the area of the peaceful exploration and use of outer space.
On March 30, 2021, within the framework of the meeting of the co-chairs of the Russia-Venezuela high-level Intergovernmental Commission, the Intergovernmental Agreement on Cooperation in the Exploration and Peaceful Use of Outer Space was signed, which would open up new opportunities for the scientific-technical cooperation between Russia and Venezuela. This legal instrument not only confirms the aspiration of our countries to maintain outer space as an area of peaceful cooperation but also implies several mutually beneficial practical aspects.
The potential for cooperation under the agreement represents a wide range of possibilities for the application of complex space technologies in everyday life. It involves the installation of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) station, development in the field of remote sensing, telecommunications, etc. Most importantly, these technologies will help make the most advanced infrastructure, the most stable connection and our lives more secure.
The objectives of space exploration and the peaceful uses of outer space are beneficial grounds for fruitful international cooperation in which countries large and small can participate effectively. The number of tasks in outer space exploration cannot be covered by a single country, whatever its scientific or technical level. The aim is to maintain outer space as an exclusive sphere of peaceful investigation, of joint exploration for the common good and not to carry the old conflicts and prejudices in the rocket queues, turning the universe into a battlefield for geopolitical selfish interests. | aerospace |

The PD-100 Black Hornet 2, to us, a drone, weighs only 18 grams and features a camera an onboard camera that allows users to scope a desired target safely. The drone can fly up to 25 minutes with a range of about 2 miles and features as well, a thermal camera.
This latest invention has been designed by the Norwegian company Prox Dynamics, that is originally funded by the founder of the better know, Blade Runner indoor toy helicopter. The stealth device is also packed with GPS technology allowing it to autonomously fly with its GPS autopilot system to a desired coordinate.
Though we wish we could get our hands on one ourselves, the sticker price for one of these hornets is around $40,000. Though this drone may have many uses, we hope that its end goal would be to save many valuable lives on and off the battlefield. | aerospace |

OTTAWA/MONTREAL: Airbus SE could cooperate even further with Bombardier Inc further than a current enterprise in the CSeries jets, if its fighter jet is permitted to compete in a Canadian military procurement, and its associates concur, an executive mentioned on Wednesday.
Canada mentioned final year it will launch an open up level of competition to change its getting old fleet of fighter jets and a ask for for proposal for the open up level of competition is expected in 2019.
Dirk Hoke, main executive of Airbus Defense and Area, mentioned the Eurofighter Storm fighter jet could be an selection for even further collaboration with Bombardier, though he did not specify even further.
“We will absolutely also appear at additional possible even further cooperation with Bombardier further than just the CSeries,” Hoke told Reuters on the sidelines of an Ottawa aerospace meeting, adding that he was “very optimistic and positive about us entering this level of competition.”
Airbus final month agreed to get a the vast majority stake in Bombardier’s CSeries jets method, bolstering the Canadian plane’s income and offering it a probable way out of a detrimental trade dispute with Boeing Co and U.S. regulators.
The CSeries trade dispute has muddied a possible interim military deal in between Boeing and Canada for 18 Super Hornet fighter jets, developing new opportunities for rivals like Airbus, Dassault Aviation SA and Lockheed Martin.
Boeing and Canada experienced originally mentioned getting the fighters as a quit-gap evaluate although the nation organized an open up five-year level of competition to change its getting old fleet of seventy seven Boeing CF-18 fighter jets. Canada has halted talks with Boeing since of the dispute.
Hoke mentioned Airbus is not considering jumping into the interim bid for fighter jets and is ready to see the details from the Canadian federal government on the open up level of competition.
“Ideal now, we have a very positive feeling about it but of training course we have to see … what (are) the specs that have been ultimately defined and verified.”
In 2016, Canada chosen Airbus C295W plane for its fixed-wing search and rescue method, approximated at CUS$3 billion (US$two.36 billion).
Boeing has accused Bombardier of obtaining unlawful subsidies and dumping the CSeries at “absurdly lower” costs in the U.S. current market to win a critical April 2016 buy from Delta Air Lines Inc . The U.S. Commerce Section has notched up proposed trade duties on U.S. income of CSeries jets at approximately three hundred per cent, in a scenario that will be made a decision future year at the International Trade Commission.

More than half a century after the launch of the first rocket, space flights are very expensive.
Starting each spacecraft is worth millions of dollars. After that, the rocket turns into garbage and pollute the biosphere of our planet. single-flight technology has not changed since 1960. British engineer Allan Bond invented a new concept of space travel and is in step of its implementation.
Central to this concept takes the spacecraft horizontal take-off and landing - HOTOL. The main difference from the rocket is in its engines. HOTOL not carries a heavy fuel tanks, and receiving oxygen and hydrogen from the atmosphere. And only after reaching 28 kilometers starts using domestic fuel supplies.
According to Bond's first flight could take place in 2018. Experts estimate that one flight will cost about 94 million. Dollars. And the spacecraft will be reused. This will reduce the cost of repairs to the International Space Station and to reduce the cost of delivery of satellites into orbit.
But Bond believes that his offspring could be used for colonization of nearby planets and distant corners of space research. | aerospace |

The Earth's natural satellite. The Moon is a solid body orbiting our planet and is by far the brightest object in the night sky (Fig. 1). Many nations including the United States, China, members of the European Space Agency, India, Japan and Russia have all sent spacecraft that have orbited or landed on the Moon. The Apollo missions undertaken by the American government in the late 1960s and early 1970s represent the only times humans have visited the Moon. The Apollo crews landed, walked and roved upon the lunar surface, bringing back 382 kg (842 lb) of Moon rocks for study on Earth. After a long hiatus, significant interest has resumed in humans returning to and perhaps eventually residing upon the Moon. See also: Astronautics; Lunar and planetary mining technology; Space probe

Utilizing the latest and most advanced manufacturing technology, space startups have made it affordable to fly payloads into space with new, upgraded and improved launch vehicles.
These launch vehicles deliver payloads into space for far less than the rockets we saw in the 1970s and 1980s. For many modern rocket engines, the cost of getting a kilogram into orbit has fallen by as much as 90%. Many of these cost improvements are made possible by new manufacturing techniques. Others are made possible by new designs. The best orbital launch systems use both.
However, what many may not realize is that 3D printing plays a huge role in manufacturing next-generation rocket engines. These are not the consumer-focused plastic 3D printers that many are familiar with. Instead, some of today’s most advanced rockets feature complex geometries that provide a real performance improvement and are made of exquisite 3D printed metal alloys primarily developed for aerospace applications.
Almost every new aerospace company is using 3D printing to produce critically important components. Some applications include turbo pumps, fuel injectors, heat exchangers, and regeneratively cooled thrust chambers and nozzles. Even traditional space organizations, such as NASA, are exploring 3D printing to drive innovation.
It’s safe to say that 3D printing plays an important role in humanity’s desire to explore space, colonize Mars, and become a multi-planetary species.
What 3D metal printing allows aeronautical engineers is the ability to produce parts without compromising their design for manufacturability. Often, engineers are required to change their most performance-optimizing designs simply because they are too complex or too expensive to reliably produce using traditional manufacturing techniques.
With 3D printing of metals, engineers are freed from these limitations.
However, this technology is used not only to produce engines, but also to create components for spacecraft and satellites.
Launcher, an aerospace startup based in Hawthorne, California, is a prime example of a company using 3D printing for both rocket engines and spacecraft.
Earlier this month, the company successfully launched the Orbiter satellite transport vehicle aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-6 mission.
The vehicle was developed to accurately put satellites into orbit at the lowest price. Previously, accomplishing this task required a dedicated launch that could cost up to 10 times as much as a flight-share launch.
Orbiter used a large number of 3D printed parts from F357 aluminum, 6AI-4V titanium, and Inconel 718 (a nickel superalloy capable of operating at very high temperatures). 3D printed parts were chosen because of the ability of 3D printing to improve performance or reduce part lead time. These parts can be seen in this drawing.
- Tanks (Titanium 6AI-4V): Multi-purpose tanks used as primary and secondary structures as well as thrust tanks printed as one part without internal supports.
- Thruster Bracket (F357 aluminum): This holds the thruster manifold assembly.
- Thruster Manifold (Aluminium F357): Used for attitude control and station keeping,
Fueling Orbiter Engine.
- Orbital Engine Injector (Inconel® 718): Mixes the propellant to be burned in the engine
- Orbital engine chambers (Inconel® 718): The main engine used to change orbit to position
Oriber to properly place payloads into specific orbits.
- Thrust Structure (Titanium 6AI-4V): Supports orbital motor and gimbal assembly.
- Spring Housing (Titanium 6AI-4V): Hold the springs for a detachable system that
Orbiter connects to the launch vehicle.
- Star Camera Baffle (F357 Aluminum): Used for precision navigation to keep the Orbiter in place
Through 3D printing, Launcher was able to replicate and rapidly shorten the development time of this satellite transport vehicle. This kind of rapid iteration is one of the biggest benefits of using 3D printing to develop space applications.
Instead of developing new tools for modified parts, you simply change the design file and print a new version. After designs are finalized, metal 3D printing allows the company to ramp up production quickly, too.
In the next decade, 3D printing of metals will be one of the biggest drivers of innovation in space. Launcher is a prime example of how technology can help companies make a big impact on society – and that doesn’t stop with Orbiter. The Launcher also uses Velo3D’s 3D metal printing solutions to produce critical components for the E2 rocket engine, the closed-cycle combustion engine that powers the first stage of the light launch vehicle.
This highly efficient engine enables a small, low-cost rocket to carry a relatively large amount of payload.
When humanity eventually reaches Mars, it will be possible because of the 3D printed parts.

HISTORIC MOMENT: Ngau (third left) admires a picture of Viking Series 400 presented to him by Mohd Nawawi (third right).
MIRI: Bario created history and earned pride when it was selected by community airline MASwings as the centre for the launching of its new aircraft – Twin Otter Viking Series 400.
Telang Usan assemblyman Dennis Ngau represented Minister of Tourism Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tung Openg to officiate at the special ceremony held at the village’s multi-purpose hall.
The Viking Series 400 is one of the six new aircraft added to MASwings in an effort to increase flight frequencies to the rural areas in Sarawak and Sabah.
MASwings chief executive officer Datuk Captain Mohd Nawawi Awang said the company took delivery of the aircraft from Victoria, Canada on Aug 2, 2013 and began its operation on Sept 16 in conjunction with Sarawak’s 50th anniversary of independence within Malaysia.
The aircraft departed Victoria on Aug 10, heading up to Alaska, over the Bearing Sea to Eastern Russia. From there, it started to head out to South Korea, Taiwan and The Philippines before arriving in Kota Kinabalu after a journey of eight days.
“Above all, we are most proud with our pilot, Captain Stefanus Angkom, an Iban from Saratok who conducted the ferry flight all the way from Canada to Kota Kinabalu.
“To me, this is not just another new aircraft, but to be flown by our own native and delivered to our community is another historic moment that will be cherished,” Mohd Nawawi proudly announced.
According to Mohd Nawawi, the second aircraft was now on its way from Canada and was expected to arrive in a few days’ time, while the third was expected to arrive in early November.
With these new aircraft, MASwings would cease the use of the old aircraft which would have been operating for more than 20 years by the quarter of next year.
He said the new aircraft would be used to connect the rural communities, especially in Sarawak and Sabah, in tandem with MASwings responsibility as a community airline to provide air service to the interior such as Bario in the highlands of Borneo.
With the new aircraft, he also said they would be able to increase flight frequencies to the rural areas and meet the demand for more flights during festive seasons like Christmas, Easter and `Pesta Nukenen’ (Cultural and Food Festival).
Rurum Kelabit Sarawak (RKS) deputy president councillor Robert Ayu and vice chairman Dr Roland Dom Mattu and community chiefs were among those present to witness the launching ceremony. | aerospace |

A drill of raiding and repairing an airfield was staged by the Air and Anti-Aircraft Force of the Korean People’s Army amid the intensified combat drills of all the service personnel to wipe out the US imperialists and their stooges hell-bent on war exercises against the DPRK.
The drill was aimed to check and confirm under simulated conditions of an actual war the distribution of air forces to be involved in raiding “enemy” airfield, their striking procedures and methods, bombing and shooting art of pilots, the powers of various air weapons and the ability for repairing destroyed airfield.
Involved in it were fighter, raider and bomber wings under the Guards 1st Air and Anti-Aircraft Division and the 5th Flight Division of the KPA Air and Anti-Aircraft Force.
After being briefed at an observation post on the decision made by the commander of the KPA Air and Anti-Aircraft Force to carry out the task of striking the “enemy” airfield, the Supreme Commander gave an order to start the drill.
Various types of mine bombs were successively dropped in a brief span of time on the “enemy” airfield in the wake of raiding on its depot, commanding post and runways by use of rocket gun shells and unguided rockets.
Watching the fighters dealing intensive strikes at important posts of the “enemy” airfield, the Supreme Commander said with great satisfaction that such strikes would utterly shock the enemy forces and praised the pilots for their perfect and thrilling strike.
Then, followed a drill for repairing the destroyed airfield.
After the drill,
He said that all the fighter pilots should make a steady and profound study of the Juche-based flying combat method, guerrilla-style war method and conduct intensified flight training to acquire a high level of aeronautics, bombing art and marksmanship and get fully familiar with practical war methods and actions.
Stressing the need to reject formalism and stereotyped patterns and steadily improve contents and forms under the Party’s training-first slogan and thus bring about a turn in raising the quality of flight training, he repeatedly urged all the air units to make the high-intensity training part of daily life and a habit. | aerospace |

The aircraft, which will carry the name of the Cuban capital on its front – just under the pilot’s cabin – is the third of its kind acquired by the company, the first to fly to Latin America from Europe since World War II.
In the past year and a half, Iberia has placed orders for 29 long-haul aircraft, of which 13 are Airbus A330-200 aircraft, like the most recently acquired, due to be delivered in installments through March 2018.
In order to renew and expand its long-haul fleet, the airline will also incorporate 16 state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 aircraft, which it will receive between 2018 and 2021, according to a press release.
Seven decades later, Iberia is the leading company in Latin America, with over 250 scheduled flights operating per week to 20 destinations in 15 countries of the region.
Havana was one of the first destinations in the continent to be offered by the airline, and its operations with Cuba began in 1949.
Following a stoppage of two years, in June 2015 Iberia resumed its flights to the country and, in the space of just 12 months, the company is due to increase its operations from five to seven weekly flights, the press release highlighted.
Beginning June 1, Spain’s flagship airline will offer daily connections to the Cuban capital. | aerospace |

Airbus A-340 Wide-body
The Airbus A340 is a long-range, four-engine, wide-body commercial passenger jet airliner that was developed and produced by the European aerospace company Airbus. The A340 was assembled in Toulouse, France. It seats up to 375 passengers in the standard variants and 440 in the stretched -600 series. Depending on the model, it has a range of 6,700 to 9,000 nautical miles (12,400 to 16,700 km; 7,700 to 10,400 mi). Its distinguishing features are four high-bypass turbofan engines and three-bogie main landing gear.
The A340 was manufactured in four fuselage lengths. The initial variant, A340-300, which entered service in 1993, measured 63.69 metres (209.0 ft). The shorter -200 was developed next, and the A340-600 was a 15.96 metres (52.4 ft) stretch of the -200. The -600 was developed alongside the shorter A340-500, which would become the longest-range commercial airliner until the arrival of the Boeing 777-200LR. The -200 and -300 models were powered by the 151 kilonewtons (34,000 lbf) CFM56-5C, while the 267-kilonewton (60,000 lbf) Rolls-Royce Trent 500 was the exclusive powerplant for the extended-range -500 and -600 models. The initial A340-200 and -300 variants share the fuselage and wing of the twin-engine Airbus A330 with which it was concurrently designed. The heavier A340-500 and -600 are stretched and have enlarged wings.
"Your exciting Journey into digital world of aviation starts "
You are definitely intrigued to discover Airbus A340.
Launch customers Lufthansa and Air France placed the A340 into service in March 1993. In September 2011, 379 orders had been placed (not including private operators), of which 375 were delivered. The most common type were the A340-300 model, with 218 aircraft delivered. Lufthansa is the biggest operator of the A340, having acquired 59 aircraft. The A340 is used on long-haul, trans-oceanic routes due to its immunity from ETOPS restrictions; however, with reliability and fuel efficiency in engines improving, airlines have gradually phased out the type in favour of more economical twinjets of comparable capacity such as the Boeing 777, while Airbus has positioned the larger variants of the Airbus A350 as a successor. Airbus announced on 10 November 2011 that A340 production had been concluded.
Airbus A330 Wide-body
The first A340, a -200, was delivered to Lufthansa on 2 February 1993 and entered service on 15 March. The 228-seat airliner was named Nürnberg. The first A340-300, the 1000th Airbus, was delivered to Air France on 26 February, the first of nine it planned to operate by the end of the year. Air France replaced the Boeing 747 with the A340 on Paris–Washington D.C., flying four times weekly. Lufthansa intended to replace aging DC-10s with the A340s on Frankfurt–New York services.

James, aged 17, is a member of the RAF in the school’s Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and was the only Cadet to make the top five in this prestigious competition.
BAE Systems is currently at the forefront of developing the UK’s future fighter jets, the TEMPEST and the LANCA, which are hoped to come into service within the next 15 years.
BAE Systems’ national competition was to design ‘a cockpit for the future’. James’ idea was to develop a piece of software that would take Google Maps’ satellite data and NASA’s height maps’ data to allow a pilot anywhere in the world to view their surroundings, ground targets and objectives in an easily intelligible 3D map, which they can manipulate at their discretion.
James explains: “A piece of software, such as this one, is tapping into the fact that, in the future, almost all of a cockpit will be seen and accessed through the augmented reality of the Striker II helmet – the helmet that BAE Systems is currently designing. This will use the ‘Plug and Play’ approach of not having to change anything physical within the jet itself – which would be hugely expensive, compared to just changing some software.
“I was delighted that my idea placed me fifth in BAE’s national competition, and I look forward to doing more projects similar to this one, such as the RAF’s ‘ASTRA-SAT Space Challenge’, in the future.”
The ASTRA-SAT Space Challenge is a STEM competition for RAF Air Cadets to showcase their innovative ideas and the winners will have their names and CCF (RAF) school painted on the fins of the UK’s STARCHASER rocket, ready for its big launch.

RETURN OF THE WINGThe radical Blended Wing design has been developed by Boeing in cooperation with the NASA Langley Research Centre. The mammoth plane will have a wing span of 265 feet compared to the 747's 211 feet, and is designed to fit within the newly created terminals used for the 555 seat Airbus A380, which is 262 feet wide. The new 797 is in direct response to the Airbus A380 which has racked up 159 orders, but has not yet flown any passengers. Boeing decided to kill its 747X stretched super jumbo in 2003 after little interest was shown by airline companies, but has continued to develop the ultimate Airbus crusher 797 for years at its Phantom Works research facility in Long Beach, Calif.

Great Pilots To Fly With---PIA Pilots Refused To Fly Without Getting Favorite Breakfast
PIA flight enroute to New York from Lahore was delayed hours and hours on the airport as pilot and co-pilot did not get hot snacks in he breakfast. The poor 250 passengers who had come earlier for checking in had to wait aboard the plane for hours long. According to sources the flight No PK 711 had to take off for New York at 6 11 AM but the pilot Sohail Baloch and Assistant pilot Naushad Ali refused to take off till they get hot snacks in the breakfast. PIA administration had to sent special car to bring the favorite breakfast of the pilots from a local hotel. It is noteworthy that international passengers had to reach airport 4 hours before the flight time for checking in. So the passengers reached airport at 2 AM and they had to to wait for 7 hours more to leave for destination. Reasons like this are causing the degradation defamation of once the best airline of the world. It is better to privatize it. Because it is in huge loss. | aerospace |

The US airforce wants offensive and defensive "counterair" -- destroying or neutralizing an enemy's ability to control the skies. Boeing Co, the Pentagon's No. 2 supplier after Lockheed, might be able to stay in the fighter business long enough to compete for it, he said, assuming exports can keep its fighter know-how alive as the U.S. Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps buy F-35s in large numbers. The Air Force in its wish list for the futuristic warplane cited greater reach, persistence, survivability, situational awareness, weapons effects and "human-system integration." In the twelve year gap , the US Airforce could get by with a small squadron of F-22s, a larger squadron of inferior F-35 Lightning II, and pilotless combat drones like the Predator and its successor the Reaper.
The J-20 is larger than the F-22A or the Russian Pak-Fa. It is said that the cyber attacks on the US that cost US 40 billion, was to get F-117 Nighthawk blueprints for the J-20. It is said that F-117 Nighthawk elements have went to china in the 1999 Kosovo war. The idea of Chinese reverse-engineering F-117 debris to understand technology is plausible. The idea that the J-20 has 30 years of Russian technology built into it and some F-117 technology would look true. J-20 will be ready in 2017.
The J-20 is of a conventional layout as fighters go - though it is worth mentioning that the size of the J-20 is greater than that of the American F-22 or Russian Sukhoi T-50/PAK FA development. Taken as a whole, the J-20 appears to be the body of the experimental, delta-wing Mikoyan Project 1.44 aircraft with the nose section of a Lockheed F-22 Raptor. The fuselage is noticeably long and wide presumably for the use of large amounts of internal fuel stores, advanced avionics capacities and large internal weapons bays. The cockpit is held well forward in the design and the engines are fitted in the rear. Canards are set along the forward portion of the fuselage and serve to provide improved vortex lift for the airframe body. Likewise, the use of the anhedral set main wing assemblies works in conjunction with these canards to help improve lift. The main wing assemblies, each sporting anhedral, are delta in arrangement and the vertical fins on the tail noticeably canted outwards. The vertical tail fins and forward canards are all-moving surfaces, hinged at internal joints, and help in providing for an agile airframe. There are two small ventral fins near the trailing edge of the main wings, outboard of either engine. The engines are buried deep within the middle and aft portions of the fuselage, aspirated by a set of inward slanted intake openings to either side of the cockpit. The intakes are preceded by a bulbous chine mount that is contoured rather elegantly to either cockpit side. From the first few initial photographs of the J-20, the engines seem to exhaust through a pair of conventional nozzles so no thrust vectoring is apparent in the prototypes. Stealth plays an important role in the design of the J-20 so plasma technology is used in the various exposed moving joints of the vertical tail fins and forward canards. The undercarriage is wholly conventional and made up of a tricycle landing gear arrangement featuring a single-wheeled nose leg and a pair of single-wheeled main landing gear legs. The nose leg retracts forward under and aft of the cockpit floor while the main legs retract forward into the sides of the fuselage. Of note here is the "saw-tooth" edges of the landing gear doors - consistent with the stealth design philosophy of the F-22 Raptor.
Internally, the J-20 will sport the latest in Chinese fly-by-wire technology and advanced fire control and engine management features. The pilot will most likely control the aircraft through a traditional HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick) arrangement and have access to a single, wide-angle, full-color "glass" cockpit liquid crystal display ala the Lockheed F-35 Lightning II. In conjunction with the LCD may be a helmet-mounted sight system for the pilot. A wide-angle HUD (Head-Up Display) will provide pertinent performance and mission information to the pilot above the instrument panel. | aerospace |

In this blog post, we will help clarify the definition of an acronym and give examples from aviation that show how useful they can be!
"ACM" is an acronym that stands for "Air Carrier Manual." It is a document which contains information about airline practices, including operational procedures.
Airlines use ACMs to coordinate with one another on flights, as well as communicate safety procedures to pilots. This makes it easier for them to avoid collisions in the air or on the ground. This helps improve efficiency and reduce costs!
1. Acronyms are confusing - There are many acronyms in the aviation industry, and they can be extremely confusing.
2. ACM stands for in aviation - Aircraft Communications and Management. ACM is a subset of ICAO communications. The AIM describes the procedures for both voice and data communications with Air Traffic Services, Flight Information Services, Aeronautical Station Operations (including maintenance), Aerial Work & Taxi operations as well as associated operational control facilities such as Approach Control Units or Area Radar
3. What is an acronym and what does it stand forAn acronym is a word formed from the first letters of each word in a phrase. For example, radar stands for "radio detecting and ranging". Radar actually comes from RAdio Detection And Ranging. The term was used as early as 1940 but it wasn't until 1947 that the public became aware of this technology when an Air Force
4. Why do they exist ? Acronyms exist because they can be easier to remember and communicate. For example, "ATC" stands for air traffic control." That being said, acronyms are not always the best way to communicate information or a message. Many people have a hard time remembering what an acronym means or where it came from so using them
5. Examples of acronyms in the aviation industry - ATC, FBO, CFIACM stands for Airman Certification Manual. FBO is an acronym that stands for Fixed Base Operator. CFI means Certified Flight Instructor, this would be a good person to take flying lessons from!
6. Acronyms can be helpful when trying to communicate quickly or when you need help remembering something specific about a word or phrase that has multiple meanings (i.e., "laser" could refer to light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, a device that uses laser technology, or both).

Every command you press, it seems not to like it, huh?
Sometimes Force1 Drone doesn’t act as you want. And this happens when there’s an internal problem with your drone. But there’s a solution to every problem.
So, here’s how to do Force1 drone troubleshooting.
To troubleshoot your Force1 drone, you must check if there’s a problem with the batteries. Make sure the batteries in the drone and transmitter are installed with the correct polarity. Again, you must ensure secured charging cable connections so that the drone can get fully charged.
This is just a glimpse of troubleshooting the drone. Keep reading the article below to see learn the step-by-step procedures.
Quick Troubleshooting Guide
|Problem||Reason||A Quick Troubleshoot|
|The Drone doesn’t turn on.||The preflight operation isn’t in the right sequence.||Review the preflight operation and reboot it.|
|The drone doesn’t charge.||Loose charging cable.||Connect the charging cable with the USB port properly.|
|The drone keeps crashing.||There are many obstacles in front of the drone.||Create enough flight space for the drone.|
|The drone’s LED lights are flashing but the drone can’t fly.||The palm remote battery is not working.||Test the buttons on the palm remote and fix it.|
|The propellers spin but the drone can’t fly.||Propellers are damaged or dirty.||Reboot the drone by powering it down.|
Problem 1: The Drone Isn’t Turning ON
It’s annoying when you’re all prepared for a fun drone flying day and the drone doesn’t work. No matter how prepared you are, the drone isn’t turning ON.
When the drone isn’t powering on, there is a problem in the preflight sequence. The drone won’t act your way if you aren’t serious about the preflight operations.
So, what you have to do is check all the preflight conditions in your Force1 drone. And you have to troubleshoot this Force1 drone just like you can troubleshoot the Striker Spy drone.
Before you start flying the drone, you should ensure the following preflight conditions:
- First of all, you have to check the area if it meets the local and federal guidelines. Make sure it’s an open area where there’s no obstacle.
- Charge the drone and transmitter batteries to 100%.
- Make sure the left stick of the transmitter is kept in the middle position.
- Then, you have to follow the Calibration instructions. You’ll get to learn how to calibrate in the next section.
- Keep the transmitter ON before flying. Don’t forget to turn OFF the drone once you’re done with the flight.
- Always ensure that every connection between your Force 1 drone battery and the motor is secured.
- Check whether the propellers are installed properly. Make sure the motors are working too!
- Keep the drone facing away from you before flying.
Now, let’s get to the real part. Here’s how you’ll conduct the preflight operation or calibrate your drone:
- First, you have to turn on the transmitter. Then, push the left stick down and release it. It will come back automatically and will be prepared for pairing.
- Now, power on your drone. Keep it on an even surface.
- Finally, push the right stick down and then to the right. After you’ve done that, release the stick.
You’ll see the drone body light flashing. This means the drone is calibrating. After the lights turn into a solid color, you’ll know the calibration has been successfully completed.
NOTE: Make sure you don’t move the left stick before the calibration process is completed. Also, you should recalibrate the drone if it crashes and doesn’t perform well.
Problem 2: The Drone Isn’t Charging
As you already saw earlier, charging the drone is a prerequisite for flying drones. But what if the drone isn’t charging at all?
It’s a common problem that drone flyers face. And if your Force1 drone is giving you the same trouble, you should check the connections.
The reason your Force 1 drone is not connecting is because of loose cable connections. It’s disrupting the charging process. When the charging cable is loosely connected to the USB port, it can’t pass the current.
As a result, the drone won’t charge.
The solution to this charging problem is to check the connections. You’ll see a socket in the battery. Make sure you have connected the charging cable to the USB port correctly. And if the Lipo battery is dead, you should charge it.
One way to identify whether the drone is charging or not is to check the indicator lights. You’ll see a red light when you’ve plugged in the USB. This means the drone is charging. If the light gets off afterward, this means the drone is charged fully.
Problem 3: The Drone Keeps Crashing
It’s a serious problem if your drone can’t fly properly. And the reason is pretty silly and obvious which you might have overlooked.
The reason your drone keeps crashing is obstacles. That’s right. When you’re flying your drone amidst a crowdy space or in between buildings, it’s hard to navigate. That’s why the drone keeps falling down.
So, what you have to do is clear all the obstacles when flying your drone. Make sure there’s enough empty space so that the drone doesn’t hit anything.
By doing so, it’ll be much easier to navigate the drone.
Problem 4: The Drone Flashes LED Lights But Won’t Fly
Here’s another problem you may relate to. You’ve been trying to fly your drone. The LED lights are giving you the signal that it’s ready to take off. But the drone doesn’t fly.
The reason the drone isn’t flying is hidden in the palm remote battery. If the battery does not work properly, the drone won’t take off.
To fix this issue, you must check what’s wrong with the palm remote battery. See if it’s working or not. Test the buttons on it.
You have to establish communication between the remote and the drone. Only then your drone would fly.
Problem 5: The Drone Propellers Spin But the Drone Can’t Fly
Lastly, I’ve got a problem that’s a bit more serious than the other Force 1 drone parts issues we discussed. You might see the propellers of the drone are spinning. Yet, the drone still isn’t flying.
The reason this type of issue occurs is damaged propellers. Again, if the propellers are dirty and there is debris inside your drone, it won’t fly.
Yes, many people tend to forget to clean their drones. And that’s a reason why the drone stops working.
So, if you’re in the same situation, you have to clean the drone first. Make sure you reach out to every corner and keep it debris free.
If the propellers are damaged, replace them with new ones.
Then, power down the drone and start it again powering the palm remote. It’s like rebooting your drone.
And that’s how you get your drone flying through the sky again.
Safety Precautions for Force1 Drones
Now, before you run to fly your favorite Force1 drone, you should know about the safety rules. Force1 drone is designed for users aged 14 or above. So, you must keep this in mind while gifting your kid a Force1 drone.
Here are all the safety precautions that every Force1 Drone user must follow:
Keep the Drone in Dry Environment:
Force1 drones consist of electronic components that aren’t compatible with humid environments. So, you must keep the drone away from water or humidity. Otherwise, the electronic components might get damaged.
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat:
Make sure the drone isn’t getting direct sunlight. As the drone is made of metal, plastic, fiber, and electronic components, it will get distorted in excessive heat. So, keep in mind the surrounding temperature so that your drone remains safe.
Keep Away from Rotating Motors:
Rotating parts of the drone would cause serious injury to you if you stand nearby. That’s why always maintain a distance when the drone is about to take off or fly.
Keep an Eye on the Surface:
You must be aware of the places you’re flying the drone. Never place your drone on an uneven surface or a dangerous field. Always remember to remove any obstacle that comes in the way of your drone. So, the best thing you can do is avoid areas that don’t have a ground for drone flying.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does it take to charge Force 1 drone?
It takes approximately 50 minutes to charge the Force1 drone. With 50-minutes of full charge, you can fly the drone for 8 minutes.
How do you start a Force 1 drone?
To start a Force 1 drone, first, you have to insert the drone batteries. Then place the drone on an even surface. As soon as it’s powered on, you’ll see lights flashing. Then, turn on the transmitter. You’ll hear a beep twice. The drone is ready to take off!
How to dispose of damaged Force 1 batteries?
To dispose of damaged Force 1 batteries, you have to contact the local waste agency. You can also contact the nearest LiPo battery recycling center and let them take care of it. Do not throw the batteries away with household trash. Batteries should be disposed of in a specialized way that doesn’t harm the environment.
So, this is how you can do a Force1 drone troubleshooting whenever you have any issue with your drone. Make sure to maintain all the safety guidelines before and after flying. Hopefully, you’ll have a wonderful flying experience. | aerospace |

The project for these developments at the Omega facility was internally codenamed ‘Alaska’. This codename is in the continuity of Omega using names of ‘locations’ for secret watch projects and names of ‘birds’ for secret movement development projects (24). This ‘Alaska’ project was over time subdivided into four entities each dedicated to develop new or ameliorate existing watches for the use in space related missions. The watch development during the decade following the beginning of the project was adapted to the dynamics of NASA’s space program, going from the lunar surface requirements during the Apollo missions, through the introduction of geostationary laboratories and reusable space vehicles. Along the adaptation to NASA’s mission dynamics, Omega also made sure to integrate pertinent horological advancements into the new developments and to test for their suitability in space.
Alaska I , 1968 – 1969: Lunar Surface Chronograph
The ‘Alaska I’ project was initiated for developing a ‘Lunar Surface Chronograph‘. Omega was approached in 1968 by the NASA engineer James ‘Jim’ H. Ragan (2), who wanted to develop a chronograph able to withstand the extreme heat and cold transitions while working on the lunar surface.
The first series of prototypes still retained a black dial (2) but to be able to deal with the extreme heat on the lunar surface, the dial of the second iteration of ‘Alaska I’ prototypes is silvered and matte to allow for maximal heat reflection without disturbing light reflections
Introduction of ‘fancy’ shaped Hands
Many have wondered about the fancy shape of the sub-dial hands introduced during the development of the Alaska I prototype. The technical explanation is, that for better visibility the chronograph hands are red and the sub-dial hands are partially broad shaped to be perfectly visible even when submitted to strong vibrations (2). Regular thin and straight hands would blur when exposed to vibrations (2). The question remains about the origin of the specific shape which was chosen.
Admittedly, the hands show resemblance with the space modules NASA used, beginning with the ‘Mercury’ and also the contemporary ‘Apollo’ command module, but there is neither a functional nor an aesthetic reason to use space module shaped hands. Moreover, the contour of the hands does not correspond exactly to the shapes of these or other spacecrafts.
The explanation for the use of this exact shape for sub-dial hands during the Alaska I project might thus be found elsewhere. We should look for further inspiration within another project Omega was simultaneously involved and which would revolutionise commercial air-fair.
1969 was not only the year men walked on the moon, also another technical challenge would be finalised, where British and French engineers would cooperate to develop the first commercial supersonic airplane.
The 2.3.1969 was a great day for European commercial aviation. The Concorde prototype #001 would perform its maiden flight lasting 28 minutes. Despite avoiding to retract the carriages, to align the adjustable ‘nose’ or to go supersonic, Concorde’s maiden flight was a success. To ensure precise timekeeping, which is crucial during test flights, Omega equipped the Concorde #001 prototype and the other 8 Concorde prototype dashboards with six instruments each. Indeed, following a call for tenders from Sud-Aviation in 1967, Omega was chosen over its Swiss, French and American competitors to supply the time instruments for the future Franco-British supersonic aircraft. Developed within a year by Claude Villars’ Scientific Research engineers, they met a series of very stringent requirements in terms of thermal resistance, humidity, pressure, vibrations, accelerations and shocks. Additional tests were also carried out in salt spray atmospheres, under the effect of various contaminants and even under the effect of attack by certain fungi. Omega would remain the ‘timekeeper’ also for the first 2 (of 14) commercially built ‘presidential’ Concorde’s. (25, 27).
The fancy hands used during the Alaska I and later also during the Alaska II project seem exact, schematic reproductions of the shape of Concorde. Maybe the engineers working on the Alaska I project wanted to commemorate Omega’s involvement in the development of the first and hitherto only European commercial supersonic airplane.
The Case Construction
The watch was initially planned for having a titanium case, which for economic reasons was soon discarded in favour of the case used for the Speedmaster Mark II introduced in 1969. Another innovation was the introduction of an outer protective case made out of anodised aluminium (3).
After testing, a red anodisation was chosen due to the colours high reflectiveness and superior resistance to heat (3). The Swiss patent for this outer case was granted in 1971, the US Patent was filed in 1972 and obtained in 1973.
Ragan would have preferred a case mounted with a Hesalite crystal, as this material does not shatter when destroyed and had proven to be resistant during the tests for qualification of the Speedmaster in 1965. However, the mineral crystal of the Mark II case had proven to seal better against leaks and to withstand impacts without cracking (2).
Another difference to the previous ‘lyre-lugged’ Speedmasters was the lacking external bezel. Omega confirmed, that Ragan would have anyway envisioned to replace the tachymeter scale with more pertinent scales, such as one with 5 min intervals (1). Latter change will be implemented into the ‘Alaska II’ prototypes. As can be seen in the picture above, there is a gap visible between the dial and the case. This is due to the use of smaller dials made for the ‘titanium’ prototype version, which had a rather large rehaut. As this large rehaut is lacking in the Mark II cases (has a smaller, internal counter-ring against the dial) the dial is too small for this case type and does not fit properly.
A New Movement
The movement chosen for these prototypes was the newly introduced cal.: 861, which received a fine tuning and newly developed lubricants which would ensure perfect functioning even in the extreme condition of space (2).
4 watches of the ‘Alaska I’ project where sent to NASA for testing, two with white dial and two with black dial and all white hands (retaining the ‘Concorde’ shaped sub-dial hands, (1)). NASA decided not to replace the ‘regular’ Speedmaster model already qualified for Astronauts.
Alaska II , 1972: Functional optimisations
After the successful moon landing in 1969 Omega continued its quest for the perfect moon watch, also by further developing the ‘Alaska I’ prototypes. The former case designs were dropped and the classic lyre-lugged Speedmaster case was reintroduced.
As a new feature the whole case was sandblasted and thus rendered matte to avoid distracting reflections from the case. The tachymeter bezel was regarded useless in space and was replaced by a 5 min interval bezel as already envisioned during the ‘Alaska I’ prototyping.
The silver / white dial was further enhanced and the ‘Concorde’ shaped sub-dial hands are now black and extended to the seconds hand. One important feature, which will be used for the ‘Alaska III’ prototypes was the introduction of the ‘radial’ numbering on the sub-dial for better readability.
Again, NASA decided not to replace the ‘regular’ Speedmaster model already qualified for Astronauts. Later this version would become the inspiration for the Alaska model issued in 2008.
Alaska III , 1974 – 1978: Functional optimisations, E.V.A. Chronograph
The last Apollo mission with a man walking on the moon surface was Apollo XVII, which was terminated in December 1972. After this date it was clear, that no man would touch the lunar surface again for many decades (NASA announced it for 2030).
A new era of space exploration would start, focusing on the building of permanent space stations in geostationary orbit and the development or re-usable space ships for building and supplying these stations. The start into this new adventure was made by the Russians in 1971, by putting the space station ‘Salyut’ into orbit. The Americans followed in 1973 with ‘Skylab’, while the definitive ‘conquest’ of near earth orbital space was achieved by the co-joint American and Russian Apollo-Soyuz project in 1975 (20).
Around 1976 the ‘Space Shuttle’ project, started to become more than just a drawing-board reality, and with the new craft came the need for all NASA-equipment to be re-evaluated, re-tested and eventually re- qualified (5). When Omega began to work on the ‘Alaska III’ project the goal was to modify the classic moonwatch to create an enhanced version with better readability. In the early phase of the ‘Alaska III’ project it was clear that newly developed movements could replace cal.: 861. With the introduction of the automatic movement cal.: 1040 and its successor cal.: 1045 it was now possible to have automatic driven chronographs. Other prototypes even feature an electromechanical movement, cal.: 1255.
At the same time a new case shape was featured (see discussion below). This ‘ref: 1100x series’ was used to check for the compatibility of automatic and electronic movements and possibly for a specific use in space. Ref.: 11000 watches were started to be made around 1974 and some were used for heavy material resistance testing. These tests performed by Omega and the EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology) subjected the watches to very high levels of abuse to determine their robustness and their reliability.
Despite experimenting with the compatibility of new movements, the main overall goals during the ‘Alaska III’ project was to reduce reflexions from the case and to increase the readability of the dial (9). During the development a reintroduced feature from the ‘Alaska II’ project revolutionised the readability of the dial: The ‘radial’ numerals.
The Radial Dial
Although the use of a chronograph dial featuring counters with numbers in radial layout dates from 1966, for the Seamaster ref.: 145.006, the first encounter with the radial configuration for a Speedmaster was a drawing given to Omega by James Ragan, as confirmed in an interview in 2017 (23). It is unkown, if Ragan was inspired by the dial of the Seamaster, but the similarities are undeniable. The Speedmaster radial dial had gone through several improvements since its inception during the Alaska II project. Apart from slight changes in the font and indexes, in some instances by adding or removing serifs for certain numbers, also the orientation of the numbers was changed and adapted. The timeline concerning the changes seems not to be linear, as a technical drawing from 1972 (see above) already shows the configuration used later in the Alaska III project (18).
The criteria for changing number orientation, indexes and font details is hypothesised to have been a combination of light reflection tests and personal preferences of the developers concerning the readability of the dial (18).
The 1100x Case
It was quite peculiar, that the case shape used for watches conceived for use in space would change again during Alaska III, after the lyre lugged case was qualified for spaceflight in 1965 and alternative case shapes were gradually abandoned during Alaska I and II. The new specific requirements for the case design seemingly gravitated towards a ‘protrusion free’ overall watch surface, so to minimise the protrusion of the pushers and the crown as well as featuring hidden lugs without compromising function. The protrusion of the pushers and the crown having already been a problem with the first Speedmaster version used during the ‘Gemini’ program (23). Latter considerations would lead to the use of the unusual 1100x case for many Alaska III prototypes, as it fulfils most of the mentioned features (18, 19).
One further feature which can also be seen when scrutinising modern spaces suits but also the design of space vehicles and modules, was the growing use of ‘integrated design’. In this context this design method is most important for the interdisciplinary development of space equipment, which requires the integration of functional elements using the least amount of room and resources and ideally requiring the least intervention by the Astronauts. This new principle was also applied for the watch design as at some point it was envisioned to wear the watch as integral part of the spacesuit, hence attaching it to small fabric protrusions, ‘mini – straplets’, sutured on the gauntlet or the sleeve of the spacesuit and hidden underneath a flap of the suit (see picture: hanging white flap underneath the watch head), thus avoiding the need to mount an outer protective case as designed for Alaska I. It is conceivable that avoiding protrusions on the watch was part of the goal to integrate the watch ‘into’ the suit as to avoid tearing the suit or the watch being ‘caught’ while working (18, 19).
A possible E.V.A. Speedmaster
As after the Apollo missions the focus of space exploration converged towards the use of near space orbital space stations, also the development of equipment for space use converged to the refinement of equipment needed to build and maintain these new habitats. One focus within this new orientation was the optimisation of the spacesuits used during E.V.A.’s (EVA, Extra Vehicular Activities) or ‘space walks’. These outer space activities would become highly important, as they are needed to assemble and repair the space modules and also to maintain and repair other orbital hardware, such as satellites or the ‘Hubble’ telescope. Such EVA’s can last for hours and a meticulous timing is crucial for the missions but also for the Astronauts safety.
If the picture above with the integrated Alaska III prototype is analysed further, one can see that the spacesuit in which the new watch was envisioned to be integrated, is indeed one used for EVA’s. Thus it can be deducted, that the prototypes with 1100x cases might have been specifically designed to be worn when working in outer space, during EVA’s, while wearing these specific EVA suits. As these suits are only used for working in outer space, it makes sense, that some of these 1100x prototypes were specifically and heavily tested for material resistance, as the manoeuvrability inside such an EVA suit is very limited and thus the probability of sudden movements and subsequent breakage of the watch crystal or other components would be increased.
Following this thought it becomes also more understandable, why it was envisioned to use battery powered watches. As EVA suits are only used at certain time periods during a mission, the watches, which are permanently attached to the EVA suit, would not require to be wound or set and would run reliably through the whole mission time. These battery powered versions running with cal.: 1255 had also the advantage to allow for high angle pushers which would allow an easier activation while wearing quite bulky EVA-gloves (19).
Finally 3 versions were submitted to NASA: One was a re-development of the already qualified Speedmaster Professional chronograph, only this time using the newer cal.: 861 surrounded by a matte finished case and a dial that featured a ‘radial’ layout for its chronograph counters (Ref.: ST 145.022). The second proposal was an automatic chronograph with Omega’s cal.: 1045 (normally ref.: 11000, but one ref.: 11003 known) also with ‘radial’ numbering and lastly an electromechanical Speedmaster chronograph that employed a tuning fork as regulating organ (Ref.: 11003). Latter watch running with cal.: 1255, became later known as the ‘Speedsonic’ model ref.: ST 188.0002 (5).
There was one new condition for NASA to use Omega watches: Because of the ‘Buy American Act’, at least 50% of the watches ‘value’ would need to be built in the USA, so Omega had the cases produced locally by the ‘Star Watch Case Co.’ in Michigan. This is also the reason why there is no mentioning of ‘Swiss Made’ on the dial (9). Thus, these watches do not only bear the Omega production info on the case back, they also feature the ‘Star Watch Case Co.’ stamp.
NASA chose again not to completely replace the ‘regular’ Speedmaster, nor to introduce a specific EVA watch. However, finally a first batch of 56 pieces of the most classic Ref.: ST 145.022 was delivered to them. They were used aboard ‘Space Shuttle’ during the 1980ies. A second batch soon followed (9).
Alaska IV , 1978 – 1979: Space Shuttle Speedmaster
In 1978 NASA officially launches the search for a new watch to be used on Space Shuttle missions. The last project of the Alaska series tested a complete electronic watch with LCD display for suitability in space. 20 prototypes were made and some sent to NASA for use in training and in space.
According to the Omega Museum, despite the Astronauts willingness to wear modern and high tech tools (Quartz/LCD), the chances for this prototypes to be selected by NASA were very low as everybody knew that James Ragan had a strong preference for mechanical watches (that he expressed already in the Alaska III / Speedsonic episode) simply because he wanted to exclude any uncontrolled risk in space (22).
For a thorough review of these prototypes please refer to this excellent site.

The two experienced pilots who flew into one another were heading for the Spiaggia d’Argento Air Show in Alba Adriatica on Italy’s east coast.
Luigi Wilmo Franceschetti, 43, crash-landed, but second pilot Marco Ricci, 47, died after the wing of his aircraft sheared off in the crash.
A witness told Corriere della Serra: ‘We were walking along the seafront of Tortoreto, we saw two planes flying at low altitude and not very fast.
‘When they clashed we heard a bang. Help arrived instantly, both by sea and by land.’
Airshow organisers posted two brief messages on the event’s Facebook page, saying: ‘Our hearts go out to all the relatives of Marco Ricci. RIP.
‘And we wish a speedy recovery to pilot Luigi Wilmo Franceschetti.’
No other aircraft were involved in the second incident, which saw a small plane forced into an emergency landing – believed to be due to a mechanical failure – at Santa Severa, 30 miles up the coast from Rome.

The badminton ace is tipped to co-pilot a light combat Tejas aircraft. If that happens the No. 1 lady of Indian badminton will add a new leaf to the aviation history of India on the World Women’s Day.
Kerala’s oldest publication Onmanorama has quoted military sources as saying that Sindhu will be co-piloting a Tejas aircraft.
Even as there is no official confirmation, Sidhu’s flight is tipped to be the major attraction of the show. The flight will also make Sindhu first woman ever to co-pilot the ‘indigenous iron bird’ Tejas.
PV Sindhu in a sheer co-incident will be in the cockpit of the PV 5 or PV 6 trainer versions of the plane fitted with tandem seats.
Sindhu’s family has expressed their excitement about the historic opportunity and honour. “Yes. We have been invited for the show in Bengaluru. We are waiting for the final programme,” Sindhu’s father P V Ramana has told the publication.

“It’s a great honour for me to fly in a Tejas. It will be a proud moment and I am looking forward,” Sindhu said.
The badminton ace, who had played across the globe, said she always loved being on board an aeroplance, but have never dreamt of getting an opportunity to fly on a military plane.
Vimal Kumar, former India international and director-cum-co-founder of Prakash Padukone Badminton Academy (PPBA), said it will be a lifetime experience for Sindhu.
“She did mention to me about coming for Aero India and never knew that she will be flying the Tejas. It is going to be a great experience for her. The way our pilots go about doing their business is so challenging. The adrenaline rush and all that will be like playing a tough match for her. I am sure she will be thrilled. We are all excited,” Vimal said.
Interestingly, Vimal and his wife Vinitha Kumar, a scientist, will be at Aero India on Saturday when Sindhu is expected to take to the skies. | aerospace |

St. Augustine RC FLYERS,
Welcome Florida Soaring Society (FSS #5) Sailplane Contest - November 5-6, 2016
Our club hosted an Aero Tow glider event that was thrilling to watch. It involved large gasoline powered models towing up even larger gliders. After the gliders disconnected from the tow plane they were then able to seek out thermals and soar like eagles. One of the gliders had over a 26 foot wingspan. Check out the photos and video in subsequent pages on this website.
Retired aviation executive
Come on out and share in the fun flying with us!
Established on July 4th, 2015, St. Augustine RC Flyers, LLC (non-profit corporation) is a fairly new RC Club.
We consist of a great bunch of fun loving guys, about 30 strong and growing rapidly.
Our members enjoy building, flying, and sharing good times flying all types of RC aircraft.
We have guys that fly everything as well as members that enjoy specialty RC models, such as Micros, Foamies, Sport 60 Sized Airplanes, Gliders, Large Scale Gassers, Ducted Fan Jets, Helicopters, and Racing Drones.
Our models are powered with glow fuel, gas engines, or electric motors. Several of our soaring enthusiasts have electric winches for glider launching.
Our AMA approved flying site is located at the Tillman Ridge Landfill; (map on SIGN UP page), featuring 2 Grass Runways, Glider Winch Launching Area, Mower Shed, Restroom, and Protected Pilot Safety Area.
Visitors please call our President or Secretary to arrange a time that we can meet you at our private entrance. Our facility is controlled and not usually open to the public.
Semi retired small business owner
IRKS (Titusville RC Club) had scheduled this AMA sanctioned event but Hurricane Matthew had other plans and made their flying site unusable. Therefore, our club has stepped up to help carry out this event on Saturday and Sunday, November 5th and 6th. This was a mixed launch event which means there will be ALES (altitude limited electric sailplanes) and winch launch sailplanes and efforts are underway to make this an AMA sanctioned event.
Our flying field was dedicated to this sailplane contest on these two days, which was fun and educational while helping out another RC club. John Kennedy had volunteered to be Safety Officer and handle all technical details while Carl Schneider was the CD (Contest Director).

Death in plane crash
Along with eleven others, Green died on July 28, 1982, when the Robertson STOL-modified Cessna 414 leased by Last Days Ministries crashed after takeoff from the private airstrip located on the LDM property. The small two-engine plane was carrying eleven passengers and the pilot [in 8 seats – ed.], Don Burmeister, for an aerial tour of the LDM property and the surrounding area. Green and two of his children, three-year-old Josiah and two-year-old Bethany, were on board the plane, along with visiting church planters, John and Dede Smalley and their six children. Green’s wife Melody was at home with one-year-old Rebekah and six weeks pregnant with their fourth child, Rachel, born in March 1983.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined that the crash was caused by the pilot in command (PIC) allowing the aircraft to be loaded beyond its operating limitations. The required pre-flight weight and balance computations responsibility of civilian pilots would have shown it was dangerously overloaded and also outside its weight and balance operating envelope. This responsibility with military pilots is the responsibility of the military loadmaster, and thus he may have, by force of habit, overlooked this responsibility. Don Alan Burmeister was a former United States Marine Corps aviator, but FAA records show he had very limited experience / training in flying conventional (vs. centerline thrust) twin engine aircraft. Records show it was only a short time prior to the accident (6/9/82) that he completed a check-ride to remove the “centerline thrust” restriction from his pilot’s certificate. This check-ride should have fully evaluated his ability to fly a conventional multi-engine aircraft throughout its designed range of operations, but the flight examiner was decertified the next month (7/10/82) by the FAA due to a “history of incomplete or substandard check-rides”. Additionally, the insurance carrier (Ideal Mutual Insurance Co.) required Burmeister to log 1,045 hrs of flying time, attend a Cessna ground and flight training course, as well as log 15 hours in a Cessna 414 (C-414) prior to acting as the PIC of the leased aircraft. The NTSB record shows he failed to accomplish all of these requirements. With pilot and eleven passengers, the aircraft was overloaded by an estimated 445 pounds (202 kg), and the location of the center of gravity was found to be 4.26 inches (108 mm) beyond the maximum aft limit. Combined with an air temperature of 90 °F (32 °C), creating a condition known as “hot and high” (high density altitude, producing a lower climb rate on takeoff and greater danger of stalling), the C-414 could do little but struggle into the air within ground effect, and once airborne was left virtually uncontrollable. These factors prevented the aircraft from ever attaining sufficient altitude, and it crashed into trees less than a mile from the airport.
Keith Gordon Green, Josiah David Green (September 18, 1978 – July 28, 1982), and Bethany Grace Green (February 5, 1980 – July 28, 1982) are interred in the same coffin at Garden Valley Cemetery behind the Garden Valley Baptist Church, less than a half-mile from the LDM property. He was survived by his wife and two daughters, Rebekah Joy Green (b. 1981) and Rachel Hope Green (b. March 1983, eight months after Green’s death). | aerospace |

It would be built from the moon’s own resources: its metals, minerals and water ice. Access to water would be essential for those living on the moon. Scientists think there is frozen water trapped in craters at the moon’s south-pole but there are many unanswered questions about it. Recently, clues to the moon’s watery poles have been found far away, beyond Mars, in the asteroid belt. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft has spent several years flying through this crowded region of space. Since March 2015 it’s been orbiting the largest asteroid there, Ceres, and sending back images. This is Ceres’ northern polar region. Like the moon, its surface is pockmarked with craters. And like the moon, some areas are permanently in the shadows. Without sunlight, these dark corners are very cold, below 60 degrees Kelvin, or -200 degrees Celsius. They are some of the coldest, darkest places in the Solar System. Intriguingly, scientists have detected water ice in a few of these cold areas. You can see it here: the white spot. It took some clever image processing by the research team to pick out the ice from the surrounding dusty surface; although it’s dark, the ice reflects a tiny amount of indirect sunlight. This is not the first time that signs of water have been seen on Ceres. In March 2015, the Dawn spacecraft spotted two bright spots near the equator. They’re thought to be salt, left behind when ice turned to water vapour. At this latitude, ice doesn’t stick around for long. But in the northern craters the ice gets trapped, and that’s what makes this finding significant. Now, scientists want to understand how the ice gets to the northern craters in the first place. Ceres is thought to be one quarter frozen water, most of it just below the surface. One possibility is that this ice below the surface is ejected by huge cryovolcanos and then lands in the polar craters. This pyramid-shaped mountain was spotted earlier this year and rises 4 kilometres above the surface of Ceres, roughly half the height of Mount Everest. The ice could also come from asteroids that smash into Ceres, throwing up icy debris from the asteroids themselves or from the icy layer below the surface of Ceres. Cold, dark traps for water have now been seen on three planetary bodies: on Ceres, on the moon, and a few years ago on Mercury. This suggests that they are not one-off phenomena but general processes that can happen on any object without an atmosphere, telling scientists where to look if they want to find water on other airless bodies in our Solar System. Puzzlingly, the bright spots that tell us there’s water on Ceres have not been seen on the moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has detected hydrogen, a key ingredient of water, but we haven’t yet actually seen the water. Maybe it’s is mixed with frozen soil so it doesn’t reflect light in the same way as the ice on Ceres. That’s one possibility. The hope is that by understanding water ice on Ceres we could learn more about ice much closer to home, on the moon, enabling us, one day, to live there! | aerospace |

John F. Kennedy delivered a speech at Rice University before nearly 50,000 people. By that time, America had launched but four men into space--the suborbital flights of Alan Shepard and Gus Grissom and the nearly identical three-orbit journeys of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter. Buoyed by the success of those missions and cognizant of the danger that lay ahead, the president rearticulated his vision and reissued his challenge to reach the moon before 1970. "We choose to go to the moon, in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills." The assassination of President Kennedy, in the words of flight director Gene Kranz, turned his vision into a "quest to do it and do it in the time frame he allotted." On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped off the ladder of the lunar module known as Eagle, taking "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Featuring images from the Kennedy Library and NASA, this title details President Kennedy's quest to land a man on the moon before the end of the 1960 decade,
delivering the challenge in his now-iconic speech at Rice University on September 12, 1962.

The history of GPS has its roots in the very first satellite placed in space by the former Soviet Union in 1957.
Although its applications range include aviation and crime prevention, the technology is most readily associated with road navigation. GPS satellites feature atomic clocks which constantly transmit live time and positional data to GPS receivers on the ground. Of the 24 GPS satellites in orbit, a device such as a satnav must have at least four in unobstructed sight in order to receive accurate signals.
The history of satellite technology is very much linked to the military relationship between Russia and the USA. Whilst American engineers were still working on their Vanguard project in the mid-1950s, they were dramatically overtaken by the Soviets. Sputnik 1 successfully launched in October 1957, followed by Sputnik 2. Both were more advanced and capable than the unfinished American project.
This led to fears of new Soviet nuclear warfare against the USA facilitated by this technological breakthrough, but the only battle was of an aeronautical nature. After Vanguard’s failed launch at the end of 1957, Explorer 1 was USA’s belated but successful satellite launch, followed by the creation of NASA was in October 1958.
History of GPS Portable Navigational Devices
Over the next four decades, the progress of satellite technology led to GPS’ availability for non-military purposes, and selective availability was ended; paving the way for the proliferation of satellite navigation.
The first portable navigational device was launched in 2004. Netherlands-based TomTom had been developing mapping software for a few years before their TomTom Go product basically created a new product category. The first ever portable sat nav sold phenomenally well, selling a million units faster even than the smartphone.
Today’s smartphones have GPS capability built-in, and this technology is now supplemented by GLONASS. Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya, or Global Navigational Satellite System, is the latest contribution by those innovative Russians. It effectively increases the number of satellites that a navigational device can connect to, thus improving the positional accuracy.
The net result of 60 years of satellite technology is that most of us have an incredibly sophisticated, interactive map in our pockets. GPS helps us with so many applications, the latest of which appears to be the remote tracking and controlling of unmanned aerial vehicles. GPS makes the traditional ‘you are here’ label on city maps look rather understated. | aerospace |

CHINA'S EVOLVING SPACE CAPABILITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. INTERESTS [27 April 2012]
[full-text, 85 pages]
Press Release 27 April 2012
REPORT: CHINA'S EVOLVING SPACE CAPABILITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. INTERESTS
Today the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission released a report entitled CHINA'S EVOLVING SPACE CAPABILITIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. INTERESTS. The report details significant advances in China's space program. This report was prepared for the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission by the Project 2049 Institute.
The report is available online at www.uscc.gov.
Among other things, the report concludes that:
· Given asymmetries in reliance on space systems, even relative increases in Chinese space capabilities could present challenges for the United States.
· The Chinese military manages China's space program and there is significant overlap between civilian and military space operations, which mutually reinforce one another.
· Over the next 10-15 years, China is likely to develop more advanced precision strike assets, integrated with persistent space-based surveillance, a single integrated air and space picture, and a more survivable communications architecture, which could enhance China's confidence in enforcing a broader range of territorial claims around China's periphery.
· China is pressing forward with an ambitious counterspace program, including ground- and space-based surveillance systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and kinetic kill vehicles.
· The possibility of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait remains the principal strategic concern of Chinese national security policy makers, defense planners, and acquisition authorities.
The following is the Commission's summary of the report:
The People's Republic of China (PRC) has made significant advances in its space program and is emerging as a space power. With preservation of its monopoly on power as an overriding goal, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bolsters its legitimacy through achievements in space.
The Chinese military manages China's space program and there is significant overlap between civilian and military space operations, which mutually reinforce one another. An increasingly sophisticated R&D and industrial establishment supplies the People's Liberation Army (PLA) with military space systems. The PLA General Armaments Department (GAD) appears to oversee space systems acquisitions and operations. Other important organizations in the space program include the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC). As a rough NASA counterpart, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) facilitates international exchanges and cooperative programs with other space-faring nations.
The PLA is rapidly improving its space and counterspace capabilities in order to advance CCP interests and defend against perceived challenges to sovereignty and territorial integrity. Because Taiwan's democratic system of government – an alternative to mainland China's authoritarian model -- presents an existential challenge to the CCP, the PLA relies on military coercion to compel concessions on sovereignty. The possibility of a conflict in the Taiwan Strait remains the principal strategic concern of Chinese national security policy makers, defense planners, and acquisition authorities.
China has made considerable progress in advancing its space capabilities. A survivable, growing space-based sensor architecture, able to transmit reconnaissance data to ground sites in China in near real time, could be used to facilitate the PLA's ability to carry out long-range precision strikes with growing lethality and speed. Its space-based sensor development is focused on surveillance and targeting. The PLA may augment existing space-based assets with microsatellites launched on solid-fueled launch vehicles. Chinese R&D investments include dedicated military communications satellites able to transmit high volumes of data to a wide variety of users and to support operations at increasingly extended ranges from China's coast, a constellation of navigation satellites that further enhances China's operational scope, foreign satellite communications monitoring systems, electronic countermeasure systems to disrupt an opponent's use of space-based systems, and the capability for physical destruction of satellites in orbit. Chinese space system development is intimately connected with R&D investment into next generation extended range precision strike systems.
Over the next 10-15 years, China is likely to develop more advanced precision strike assets, integrated with persistent space-based surveillance, a single integrated air and space picture, and survivable communications architecture, which could enable greater confidence in contesting a broader range of sovereignty and territorial claims around China's periphery. China's interest in space also is driven by a requirement to field countermeasures against advanced U.S. long-range precision strike capabilities, which are expected to come more fully online over the next 10-15 years. Such capabilities enable the PLA to conduct military operations at increasingly greater distances from Chinese shores, which may complicate U.S. freedom of action in the Asia-Pacific region.

150 HOUR ENDURANCE TEST A.C. 20 - 24 A
All requirements to comply with FAR 33.49 with specific variables for TS 10 - 520B engine.
Bishop´s Original Formula 102 Aircraft Engine Treatment For Piston Engines up to 1000 HP
A. Bishop´s Original Aircraft Piston Engine Treatment Formula 102 was accepted for use in piston engines aircraft in the fall of 1981. B. To be accepted, Bishop´s Original Aircraft formula had to pass the 150 hour endurance test A.C. 20 - 24A.
II. THE TEST
A. Bishop´s Original Aircraft Piston Engine Treatment Formula 102 was tested in an overhauled Teledyne Continental TS10 - 520 - KCB 285 H.P. turbo supercharged reciprocating engine prepared to simulate an engine with 700 hours flying time.
B. Test was designed to put maximum load and wear on the engine in a relatively short time. To accomplish this: a. Cylinder head temperatures ranged from 410 to 460 degrees F. b. Normal cylinder head temperatures range from 320 degrees to 380 degrees F. c. During test, oil temperatures ranged from 230 degrees to 250 degrees F. d. Normally, oil temperatures range from 145 degrees to 195 degrees F.
C. Simulated critical altitude was 16,000 feet - was done by restricting the air intake.
D. Completed test produced conditions which were equal to 1400 hours of normal wear on a mid-time engine. Normal TBO on this engine is 1400 hours. E. All parts of the engine were spectrolite air-gauge micrometer measured before the test.
III. THE RESULTS
A. After the test, the engine was disassembled and all parts were spectrolite air-gauge micrometer measured.
B. Some of the findings: 1. Crankshaft maximum net wear at any measurable point was 4 ten thousands of an inch (0.0004"). 2. Turbochargers - 1 ten thousands ( 0.0001") wear maximum at any measurable point. 3. Camschaft - 0.0000" journal wear. 4. Valve stems - 0.0000" wear. 5. Complete compatibility with oil, gaskets, miscellaneous greases and salant used in engine construction. 6. Oil analysis showed 1 to 2 parts per million solids with Bishop´s Original; normally up to 10 to 11 parts per million.
C. Friction test results - "From this data it is assumed that engine friction at takes off and cruise RPM´s is lowered 25 to 30 percent. Engine friction in this engine is approximately 15 percent of net horsepower. A reduction in friction of 30 percent would mean a reduction in total friction from 15 percent of net horsepower."
D. Oil consumption - "Normally acceptable oil consumption under full power averages one quart per two hours. Oil consumption after ten hours of testing was only one pint."
E. Independent inspection report - "This type engine test - 150 hours at elevated power out put at maximum oil temperature as specified by the FAA TIA - is equal to a full T.B.O."
" I would consider all findings to be better then acceptable standards."

This excellent post by a fellow WordPresser presents interesting thinking concerning possible past life on Mars based on photos captured by the Martian rover.
I have long thought that as our sun cools, its outer planets grow cold and loose ability to support life. It is possible that before life on an outer planet becomes extinct, its inhabitants become capable of exploring a warmer planet closer to the sun and begin a migration process.
Perhaps past inhabitants of Mars became space pioneers and ventured to earth to begin new live. Perhaps one day soon earthlings will be able to travel to Mars and take a closer look at where their distant ancestors lived. Perhaps a long time from now earthlings will venture to Venus as it cools and earth grows too cold to support life.
Thinking is a wonderful gift we should all exercise more often.
January 24, 2017
We can all probably agree that Mars is one of the most fascinating planets –besides Earth– in our solar system. We have learned so much about the red planet that we changed our opinion about everything we previously thought about Mars. Researchers finally know that Mars wasn’t always a desolate and inhospitable place. In fact, millions of years ago, the red planet may have been eerily similar to Earth.
In recent years, scientists have found out that Mars has liquid water flowing on its surface, a discovery that drastically changed everything we ever knew about Mars. The fact that NASA knows there is water on Mars means that they can pick out the best places to search for primitive life. If there is water, then perhaps there might be life on Mars.
But not only did we find out that Mars has liquid water, NASA…

The technology possesses such parts that can be created in a variety of metals that are totally dense and usable. DMP is heavily used in aerospace and defense applications as it let the production of extremely complex and small shapes without the need for tooling.
The Infographic shows why direct metal printing (DMP) technology has become the ideal choice for various verticals. Unlike, many traditional manufacturing techniques, DMP overcome the limitations vis-à-vis. geometry and surface retention. It has helped manufacturers to increase the scope of developing parts that have highly complex anatomical shapes, surface textures, internal channels, and high levels of detail as well as such parts that are 400 millimeter high. It eliminates the demand for costly and time-consuming tooling and is suitable for a wide range of metals and alloys. Manufacturers are able to present parts that are of higher accuracy and improved part functionality with clean surface finish and feature detail resolution. | aerospace |

The Naval Air Station Wildwood Aviation Museum, located in Cape May, NJ, is housed in a historic World War II-era all-wood hangar which was assembled by the U.S. Navy in 1942 from a kit delivered via railroad!
From 1943 to 1945, the hangar was part of the Naval Air Station Wildwood where bomber squadrons were trained before serving in the Pacific theater.
After World War II, the hangar was owned by multiple companies until it was abandoned several decades later..
In 1997, the nonprofit NASW Foundation restored the building and eventually opened the aviation museum to the public.
The museum’s collection includes over 25 historic airplanes, jets, and helicopters dating back to World War II.
During your visit, sit in the cockpit of a historic plane or enter an authentic air traffic control tower. Visit the 1940s room to view memorabilia and artifacts from life during World War II.
The Museum Pass can be borrowed for up to 3 days by an adult cardholder in good standing. The pass allows free admission for 2 adults and 4 children. | aerospace |

The NASA moon landing of 1969 was one of the most watched events in the history of television, with hundreds of millions of eyes glued to the boob tube as Neil Armstrong and crew made that historic “giant leap.” Even if you weren’t alive in 1969 – which I’m guessing most folks reading this weren’t – you’ve still seen the footage time and again, we all have, it’s called 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I’m just kidding, that’s crazy talk.
Anyway, point is, the moon landing is one of those cultural moments everyone can recall, either from actual memory or memory of the footage, but in the new short film Lunar, both types of folks, a.k.a. everyone, gets a brand-new look at this monumental achievement.
The film comes from Motion Designer Christian Stangl and his brother, composer Wolfgang Stangl, and what they did was to take thousands of photographs of the landing from NASA’s Project Apollo Archive, a free database, and then order them into a stop-motion short film that is as beautiful as it is fascinating, both familiar and foreign, and guaranteed to spark a reinvigorated interest in our navigation of the heavens.

The company’s inventive zero-emission aircraft engines use hydrogen in fuel cells to generate electricity, which is then used to power electric motors to turn the aircraft’s propellers, with the only byproduct being water.
As one of the hardest to abate sectors, aviation is predicted to account for up to 50% of GHG emissions by 2050. Given we are already behind on overall targets to tackle global warming, the solution for aviation needs to be far-reaching and holistic. ZeroAvia‘s hydrogen-electric engines offer a way to address aviation’s climate impact, as well as making the most business and technological sense of all sustainable aviation solutions.
Hydrogen has 100 times more energy density than the best electric batteries today, and it is the most abundant substance in the universe, as opposed to fossil fuels which are increasingly scarce.
The company has already used a prototype of their engine to conduct a world-first flight of a 19-seat aircraft, with a clear path to scaling the technology right up to single-aisle, narrowbody aircraft. This innovation will deliver a new golden future of aviation with truly clean, guilt-free flights for passengers.
ZeroAvia are leaders in their industry because their hydrogen-electric engines offer a solution that can fully remove carbon emissions while also tackling non-CO2 emissions like NOx, SOx, particulates, and soot. Bridge solutions like SAF can be helpful in tackling some carbon emissions, but they cannot remove carbon emissions fully.
This innovative product has never been utilized before and will tackle one of the biggest challenges in reaching net zero. Learn more about this award-winning company at https://www.zeroavia.com/ | aerospace |

https://www.bijnews.com/post/should-magnix-continue-its-efforts-to-improve-its-electric-planes | 2023-01-28T02:45:52 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499470.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230128023233-20230128053233-00497.warc.gz | 0.968356 | 349 | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__98720451 | en | Updated: Aug 12, 2021
Recently, Magnix hosted a test flight on the largest electric plane. Although, it was indeed a very short flight which only consisted of about 30 minutes (160 kilometers), if we keep improving electric planes, I think it could lead to a more environmentally-friendly air journey.
One of the benefits of electric planes is that they could lower the price of tickets dramatically because fuel and labour costs are the largest expenses that affect the airline industry. According to BBC news at the Paris Air Show, a small aircraft like the Cessna Caravan would typically spend about 400 dollars on fuel. However, with electric planes, they would only spend about 8-12 dollars, which is 40 times cheaper.
In addition, petrol is not an infinite resource which means it will run out. Experts say that at the current rate of production, oil will run out in 53 years. Thus, we should be preparing a more environmentally friendly approach to transport. Speaking of a greener means of transport, electric planes could also help the advancement of other electric transportation such as electric trains, boats, and cars.
Despite the advantages of electric planes, I think it will take a while in order to convince other airlines to buy electric planes because most airlines are in debt from buying aircraft. Thus, they would not want to take out a loan and buy a whole new fleet of electric aircraft. In addition, we will have to convince other countries and companies that mostly earn money from oil.
After all, I think the efforts to develop electric planes will shape another technological advancement in providing a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Furthermore, electric planes will create new kinds of business and jobs for other people while making greener means of transport. | aerospace |

Over the past few months, the media has given considerable attention to mankind’s first detection of gravitational waves in space using Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors. This phenomenon, resulting from the merger of two black holes, was predicted in 1915 by Albert Einstein. For the past four decades, thousands of engineers and scientists have worked to solve the complex technical challenges required to build the precise scientific instruments that could detect mere ripples a billion light-years from Earth. Since its founding in 2005, Stone Grzegorek & Gonzalez LLP has acted as immigration counsel for seven researchers representing nearly all of the specialized fields involved in the LIGO project.

ALPA pilots picket to support striking Comair pilots, protest airlines' "second-tier" pilot compensation
Dallas/Fort Worth, TX -- Pilots of Atlantic Southeast Airlines organized an informational-picketing demonstration to take place 11 a.m. 1 p.m. today in front of the airport's Terminal E. The demonstration will show support for the pilots of Comair, now in the 77th day of their labor strike.
The pilots of ASA -- which, like Comair, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Delta Air Lines, Inc. -- anticipate that pilots from outside the Delta family will also join in the demonstration. Specifically, pilots of American Eagle and Continental Express have indicated an interest in participating.
With the exception of Comair pilots, none of the other pilot groups demonstrating today is on strike. However, the pilots participating equally assert the Comair pilots' point that the "regional airline" label is obsolete. Yet management teams across the industry cling to the label in an attempt to subordinate their pilots' compensation and maintain artificially low cost structures.
Since 1998, the Comair pilots have been trying, unsuccessfully, to negotiate a labor contract with management. Comair is one of the worlds most profitable airlines, and can continue to generate enviable profits after satisfying its pilots needs. However, company management is refusing to provide its pilots with pay and benefits on scale with those of other airline pilots: based on the size and productivity of the aircraft they fly.
EVENT: Pilots of Atlantic Southeast, American Eagle, and Continental Express informational picketing in support of the Comair pilots' strike.
TIME: 11 a.m. 1 p.m.
DATE: Monday, June 11, 2001.
LOCATION: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Terminal E (in front of Delta Air Lines departure area).

Instead of a flight attendant, two excited pilots smartly dressed in their crisp white uniforms stepped out of the cockpit and spoke to the passengers via the intercom.
Captain Tara Wright and her first officer Mallory Cave started by wishing them a Happy Mother’s Day. Then, they informed the passengers that they are “sharing a pretty interesting piece of Alaska Airline history” on this flight.
“You will be piloted by two African-American female pilots, for the first time in Alaska Airline history,” she announced proudly to a round of applause. “You’re making [history] this morning, whether you’re awake or not,” Wright joked, before continuing with ‘business talk’ about the flight course, duration and safety.
The video of Wright’s flight announcement, first posted on her Facebook page, has gone viral with netizens congratulating them for making a mark for African-American women in an industry that is dominated by Caucasian men.
Quartz reported that this is not the first US commercial flight to be commanded by a team of all African-American pilots. Delta Air Lines saw its first flight piloted by female African-American pilots in February 2017 with Captain Stephanie Johnson and first officer Dawn Cool. Earlier on in February 2009, captain Rachelle Jones Kerr, co-pilot Stephanie Grant and flight attendants Diana Galloway and Robin Rogers became the first all-female, all-African-American crew on a commercial flight in an Atlantic Southeast Airlines flight.
The fact that these women made headlines shows that both diversity and gender inclusion are still lacking in the aviation industry.
According to Quartz, the US Federal Aviation Administration found that just 4.4 per cent of airline transport pilots — those licensed to carry commercial passengers — are women. It added that statistics on pilots of colour are scarce, but a 2014 study of US pilots found the corps was 2.7 per cent of African descent, 2.5 per cent Asian and 5 per cent Hispanic or Latino.
According to Wright, there are less than 150 African-American female pilots in the US.
To promote and support minority women in their pursuit of aviation as a career, she has set up a non-profit organisation called Sisters of the Skies. The organisation aims to provide mentorship and scholarship to help minority women take to the skies.
The small representation of women in the aviation industry is a global issue, but female pilots across the seven seas have been making their mark in the skies.
In March 2016, three female Royal Brunei Airlines pilots made headlines as the first ever all-female crew for the airline after flying from Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A year later, in March 2017, Air India marked International Women’s Day by becoming the first airline to fly around the world with an all-female crew. One of its Boeing 777’s flew from New Delhi to San Francisco. CNN reported that every member of staff – from the flight’s captains to the cabin crew, check-in and ground handling staff and even the engineers – were women.
In Africa, Ethiopian Airlines has also made history by dispatching several flights with an all-female crew, from pilots to cabin crew to check-in staff and flight dispatchers. Its first landmark flight was in December 2017, when it flew its first ever inter-Africa flight from Ethiopia’s capital city Addis Ababa to Lagos, Nigeria, staffed by an all-female crew. In March 2018, it upped the ante by dispatching an all-female flight crew on an international flight from Addis Ababa to Buenos Aires, Argentina.
As more female pilots continue to break boundaries, we await the day when all-female pilots and crews are such a norm that it stops becoming newsworthy. | aerospace |

The Finnish Air Force will fly training missions with the United States Air Force and German Air Force between 16 and 18 March 2021. The missions, focusing on dissimilar air combat training, will be flown in Finnish airspace as part of the Finnish Air Force's daily flight operations.
In addition to Finnish F/A-18 Hornet multi-role fighters, the training missions will involve United States Air Force F-15 Eagle multi-role fighters from the 48th Fighter Wing and a KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft from the 100th Air Refueling Wing, as well as German Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon multi-role fighters from the 74th Tactical Air Force Wing (Taktisches Luftwaffengeschwader 74).
‒ Flying multinational training missions in Finnish airspace is a cost-effective and Covid-safe way to train with partners, as our F/A-18s can operate out of their home bases. Cooperation enables dissimilar air combat training with different types of aircraft as well as air-to-air refueling currency training, says Lieutenant Colonel Inka Niskanen, Commander of Fighter Squadron 31, Karelia Air Command.
The training missions will be conducted in the course of the Finnish Air Force's daily flight operations between 16 and 18 March 2021. U.S. aircraft will operate from air bases in the Baltic states, and German Eurofighters from Ämari Air Base in Estonia. The missions will be flown in an area bordering on Tampere, Seinäjoki, Kokkola, Oulu and Jyväskylä.
International cooperation improves Finland's defence capability, and belongs to the Air Force's tasks. The Finnish Air Force flies training missions regularly with partner nations' detachments operating out of air bases in the Baltic states. These missions are part of the Finnish Defence Forces' international training and exercise activities.

The system development was launched in 2010, led by local defence companies such as Doosan Defense Systems and Technology, Samsung Thales and LIG Nex1.
The DAPA said the system modernized the existing self-propelled guns developed in 1980s, while enhancing combat capabilities by integrating longer-range guided missiles that can strike aircrafts flying at a low altitude.
The self-propelled gun was known to have a range of 3 km, with the surface-to-air guided missile having a range of 7 km.
The multi-purpose air defence vehicle planned to be mass-produced next year, before being deployed to troops in 2015.

The plane, Boeing 737-300 which had been on a special flight from the capital, Lima, to Jauja, veered off the runway, bursting into flames upon landing at the airport at about 4:30 pm on Tuesday local time, according to reports.
The airline in a statement said none of the passengers on board suffered any serious injuries from the accident, noting that all passengers were safely evacuated from the plane.
But Le Republica reported that least 26 people, including a child, were injured in the incident.
Witnesses said the pilot had lost control of the plane in high winds, while another report said the blaze had been caused by an exploding tire.
Peruvian Interior Minister Carlos Basombrio said the fire had probably started when the plane’s wing scraped the runway.
‘The plane couldn’t stop on the runway and they made a maneuver to stop it with the wing and that appears to have caused the fire,’ Basombrio told local broadcaster RPP.
However, an investigation has been launched into the cause of the combustion.

From the first manned mission to the moon to the recent exploration of distant planets and celestial bodies, our adventures beyond Earth continue to captivate our collective imagination. But as we embark on this cosmic journey, it is essential to consider the legal aspects that govern our activities in the great beyond. Let’s explore the legal aspects of space exploration.
The exploration of outer space, once the realm of science fiction, has now become a tangible reality. As nations and private entities reach for the stars, the legal aspects of space exploration have gained prominence. In this article, we’ll embark on a journey through the intricacies of space law, exploring the rights, responsibilities, and regulations that govern our adventures beyond Earth’s boundaries.
Outer Space in International Law-Legal Aspects of Space Exploration
Outer space isn’t just a celestial playground; it’s also a legal one, governed by a complex web of international agreements and principles. The Outer Space Treaty, adopted in 1967, is the cornerstone of space law. It lays down fundamental principles, including the prohibition of nuclear weapons in space, the demilitarization of the moon and other celestial bodies, and the exploration of outer space for peaceful purposes. This treaty, ratified by over 100 countries, sets the stage for responsible space exploration.
To ensure that space remains a peaceful realm, the Outer Space Treaty also bans the national appropriation of celestial bodies, emphasizing that the moon and other celestial bodies are the province of all mankind. This principle sets the stage for the question that follows:
Does the World Need a New Global Convention About the Moon?
The moon, Earth’s celestial companion, has long piqued the interest of nations and organizations. With increasing interest in lunar exploration, it’s crucial to consider whether we need a new global convention specifically addressing the moon’s governance. Let’s break down the reasons why such a convention might be necessary:
- Resource Utilization: As technology advances, the possibility of mining the moon for resources like water, helium-3, and rare minerals becomes more feasible. A new convention could establish rules for equitable resource utilization and protection of the moon’s environment.
- Commercial Activities: Private companies are eager to exploit lunar resources and offer lunar tourism. A global convention could address issues related to property rights, liability, and safety.
- Preservation: The moon’s scientific value is immeasurable. A convention could ensure the preservation of historical and scientific sites, like the Apollo landing sites, to benefit future generations.
- Conflict Avoidance: Clear rules for lunar activities can prevent conflicts between nations and entities operating on the moon.
A Proposed Moon Convention: Key Points
Let’s lay out some key points that a new global convention about the moon could encompass:
|Key Points About Legal Aspects of Space Exploration
|Lunar Resource Allocation
|Equitable distribution, responsible mining, and taxation
|Preserving lunar ecosystems and preventing pollution
|Regulations for commercial moon missions and activities
|Cultural and Scientific Heritage
|Preservation of historic sites and scientific endeavors
|Mechanisms for resolving disputes on the moon
FAQS About Legal Aspects of Space Exploration
Q: What is the Outer Space Treaty?
A: The Outer Space Treaty is an international agreement that governs activities in outer space. It prohibits the placement of nuclear weapons in space, bans the national appropriation of celestial bodies, and promotes the peaceful exploration of outer space.
Q: Who is responsible for enforcing space laws?
A: Space laws are enforced by the countries that have ratified relevant international treaties. Additionally, organizations like the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) play a role in promoting and coordinating space-related activities.
Q: Why do we need a new global convention about the moon?
A: A new convention about the moon is necessary to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by lunar exploration, including resource utilization, commercial ventures, environmental protection, and conflict avoidance.
Q: How are space debris and space traffic managed according to space law?
A: The Outer Space Treaty doesn’t address these issues directly. However, international guidelines and cooperation among space-faring nations help manage space debris and coordinate space traffic safely.
Q: How are private space companies regulated in space law?
A: Private space companies are subject to national laws and international agreements. Regulations vary, but they typically cover licensing, safety, and environmental concerns. Discussions are ongoing to adapt space law to the growing role of private space ventures.
As we venture further into the cosmos, it is essential to uphold the principles of outer space in international law while adapting to the changing landscape of space exploration. A new global convention about the moon could pave the way for responsible lunar activities that benefit all of humanity and protect the celestial wonder that has inspired generations. In this exciting era of space exploration, let us explore the cosmos with not only curiosity but also a commitment to preserving its beauty and potential. | aerospace |

Welcome to the Ohio Wing Civil Air Patrol!
Civil Air Patrol was founded merely one week before the United States entered World War II in 1941. During the war, CAP members flew many missions in defense of our homeland, and had a major role in keeping our coastal waterways safe from enemy attacks. After the war, the US Air Force and Congress believed that CAP can continue to contribute and in 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed into law the creation of CAP as the Auxiliary of the US Air Force.
CAP was created with three missions, represented by the three propeller blades on our emblem. These three mission include emergency services, cadet programs, and aerospace education. Ohio Wing CAP has always been in the forefront of these missions, and we are active in all three.
Through our Emergency Services program we have responded to numerous natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy and many local situations. We also work closely with the Ohio National Guard and USAF in support of their missions on a routine basis. Our Cadet program is one of the finest youth training programs available to young people ages 12 to 18. Our Aerospace Education program allows teachers and school administrators to become actively involved, and promotes aviation education with the highest quality materials available.
The Ohio Wing Civil Air Patrol web site is here to provide you with information for those who may wish to join, and also to those that are already members. For more information and to learn more about Civil Air Patrol on line or find a squadron near you please go to www.gocivilairpatrol.com

EU launches three new missions in space
Today, three new In-Orbit Demonstration and Validation (IOD/IOV) missions were launched onboard of the European launcher Vega flight VV23 from the European spaceport in French Guyana, under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The three missions, six satellites and nine experiments, will allow the test of technologies with a wide variety of application, which are detailed below.
The European Union IOD/IOV programme allows experiments to be tested in orbit and get flight heritage (validation in real environment) for scientific, public, or commercial purposes. The test of technologies in orbit is the final step before placing them on the market. Through the IOD/IOV missions, the European Union, supported by the European Space Agency, is closing the gap between the development of a technology and its commercialisation. This is a fantastic way to boost the competitiveness of the European space industry through innovation, and to enhance European scientific excellence.
The SYNDEO-1&2 cubesat mission is aggregating seven IOD/IOV experiments, while the ESTCube-2 and ANSER missions are provided as ready to fly satellites for in-orbit demonstration.
In total, in this Vega launch, entities from six European countries will benefit from IOD/IOV services.
- SYNDEO-1 & SYNDEO-2: for the first time under the Horizon 2020 the EU is launching aggregated missions of seven experiments covering different space themes from space science, technology, propulsion, space traffic management. The missions are implemented by the Dutch aerospace company ISISpace and the payloads were produced by universities and SMEs from Belgium, Spain, France and Czechia.
- ESTCube-2: a mission developed by a group of space students from University of Tartu (Estonia) consisting of a 3U cubesat to demonstrate deorbiting with plasma brake technology and qualify a deep-space nanospacecraft platform for future missions that will use the electric solar wind sail.
- ANSER: developed by the Spanish Institute INTA (Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial) whose objective is to study and monitor the water quality of the reserves of the Iberian Peninsula by means of spectrometric techniques. It consists of a cluster of 3X3U Cubesats that will fly in formation in low earth orbit.
Ultimately, the entire space ecosystem is supported through the IOD/IOV program of the Commission, from universities and research centres to SMEs and satellite manufacturers. IOD/IOV also supports an autonomous access to Space by relying on European launch solutions. It is instrumental to the CASSINI initiative of the Commission to support the fast development of new commercial entrants in space.
The IOD/IOV programme of the Commission launched the first call of interest in 2018 under Horizon 2020. It attracted more than 50 proposals from various European entities, from SMEs to large companies, universities, and research organisations. Successful applications relate to technology innovation for Earth observation, positioning navigation and timing, satellite communication and space science. In September 2020, the first selected IOD/IOV experiment, UPMSat-2, was successfully launched on board the Vega launcher. The three new missions launched in October 2023 are part of the selection.
Currently, two parallel Calls for Expression of Interest are open to gather experiments that could be considered for IOD/IOV actions that cover aggregation, if needed, launch services and operations. Application is open for: 1) IOD/IOV Experiments needing aggregation; and 2) Ready to Fly IOD/IOV satellites. More information are available here.
Technologies to be tested through the SYNDEO 1 Cubesat:
- Miniature star tracker for attitude determination: the objective is to test in orbit a high accuracy and low-cost miniaturized Star Tracker for attitude determination – Solar MEMS Technologies S.L. (SME – Spain).
- Demonstration of a high-accuracy CubeSat Attitude Determination and Control System: the objective is to validate a high-accuracy compact (CubeSat) attitude determination and control system (ADCS) with novel star tracker and reaction wheels. – KU Leuven (University - Belgium).
- Demonstrating an arc second accurate CubeSat star tracker: validation of a star tracker including a novel star tracker algorithm, novel calibration methods in orbit, and the validation of the baffle and opto-mechanical design. – KU Leuven (University - Belgium).

The radiation sensor is based on an electronic memory in which errors due to energetic particles are monitored. The radiation intensity is detected by measuring the number of errors in the memory – KU Leuven (University – Belgium).
Technologies to be tested through the SYNDEO 2 Cubesat:
- Spacepix Radiation Monitor (SXRM): on-orbit validation and qualification of the fully developed radiation detector based on SpacePix ASIC in space environment by means of a full-scale prototype of the tracking radiation detector in the orbital radiation field (measuring flux of electrons, protons and heavy ions) – Esc Aerospace s.r.o (SME – Czechia).
- In-orbit low-frequency noise characterization towards the magnetic measurement system for LISA: the objective of the IOD is the validation of part of the magnetic diagnostics system for LISA, in particular the magnetic sensor and its associated electronic noise reduction techniques at sub-millihertz frequencies. – Universidad de Cádiz (University – Spain).
- In orbit demonstration of Plasma Jet Pack 0-30 W: the proposed experiment consists in the IOD of an electric thruster - PJP Plasma Jet Pack- using metal -tungsten- as fuel and enhanced by magnetic coil. The thruster aims at being adopted by small satellites in the 15-30 kg range. – COMAT (SME – France). | aerospace |

The space industry is face-to-face with extraordinary developments, including the commercialization of the International Space Station, resource extraction on celestial bodies, suborbital space tourism, and more. The Global Space Law Center is dedicated to resolve the legal issues that arise in the 21st century.
This year the Center’s online summer course on Space Law attracted another generation of future space lawyers and the Center’s student-staffed Research Council provided critical research support for both international and domestic space law initiatives.
Please join me in congratulating Stephen Robison, Jeffrey Murphy, Brian Asquith for their contributions as members of the GSLC Research Council. Here is a sample of some of the initiatives to which they contributed:
The NASA Advisory Council’s Policy and Regulatory Committee: The committee explored new approached to commercialize the International Space Station.
The Hague International Working Group on the Governance of Space Resources: This initiative is coming to the end of its multi-year effort to establish the “Building Blocks” for an international framework to govern the peaceful and fair exploitation of natural resources in space.
The United Nations Space Learning Group: This UN committee was charged with the challenging question of how best to regulate suborbital commercial space planes – such as Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo – which straddle the border between air and space law.
Thank you again to the 2018/2019 member of the Research Council. The members of the 2019/2020 Research Council will be announced shortly and we look forward to another groundbreaking year!

time'). There are eight forecasts corresponding to "balloon launches"
at 0, 16, 24, 40, 48, 64, 72 and 88 hours after the base time. Since
all base times are at 12GMT, these correspond to a balloon launch at
12GMT the same day, at 04GMT the following morning and then 12 and
04GMT for the following three days. The most likely launch time will
be in the early morning.
Note that the balloon flight plan includes the 2 hours taken to
inflate the balloon on the deck of Qinetiq's ship Triton. The ship
will be moving with the wind to prevent the balloon being blown
over. The forecast balloon releases occur immediately after inflation
(at 14 and 06GMT). | aerospace |

Almost everyone has heard of the Blue Angels, but not everyone has had them roaring over their house sending the cats under the bed and scattering the birds. When you hear those engines, you feel the power.
While there is much air power worthy of notice in the show-- acrobatic prop planes, rescue helicopters, parachute teams, and so many different jets I don't know them all, it is the Blue Angels everyone waits to see. Their performance is always the last act of the show, and no one is ever disappointed.
Two days before the air show, the Blue Angels practice, loudly, over the beaches area. They soar over parking lots, houses, and along the shoreline of the beach. Friday, before the show, I was outside and three Blue Angel planes flew over my back yard. It seemed as if they barely cleared the tree tops. The noise was deafening, but it was very exciting.
This air show was also a commemoration of the 237th birthdays of the United States Navy and the Marines. The day was perfect, no wind, blue skies with no clouds any where. It was a beautiful day on the beach.
Jacksonville has a special connection with the Angels. They originated at the Naval Air Station here in 1946. Their first public performance was at Craig Air Field in Jacksonville. They flew Grumman F-6F Hellcats in the beginning, later transitioning to Grumman F-8F Bearcats. By the end of the 1940's, they flew their first jets, the Grumman F9F-2 Panther. Many planes and bases of operation later, they now fly the McDonnell-Douglas (Boeing) F/A-18 Hornet. Presently, they operate out of Forrest Sherman Field at NAS Pensacola, FL.
They do about 70 air shows per year.
Fat Albert always makes an appearance at the Blue Angels show.
He is a gigantic, slow cargo plane.
We watch the show from the beach, condo balconies, streets,
and beach access ramps.
People set up tents and also watch from their boats. In this photo, a
Coast Guard boat can be seen at the left edge of the picture.

Those cambered surfaces, curves and lines would eventually take on various colors from shiny silver to very bright hues. I suspect Orville and Wilbur didn’t envision the many ways the airplane would eventually be used during the next century. Even the designers and engineers who followed never fully knew the impact their work would have on human lives.
Photographers have been capturing images of flying machines since the beginning. This study consists of images of aircraft designed for the military. The close up detail was most interesting. Here are few images showing various surfaces, parts, colors and structures that seem simple and innocent enough, however, in the overall context, these aircraft become something different when displayed as fine art photography. I hope you enjoy them. | aerospace |

When I say drone, I am referring to the use of UAV’s- unmanned aerial vehicles, such as quad-copters and other types of remotely controlled flying devices.
If you have followed the ongoing drone saga for a while now, you may be aware of the rapidly changing rules and regulations surrounding the use of UAV’s-unmanned aerial vehicles. As of now, you cannot use a drone commercially, meaning you cannot use your drone to make money. Read the post for the details, but PPA (Professional Photographers of America) is fighting to make the rules more inclusive of photographers and other small businesses looking to make use of these new technologies.
As of the date of this post, you can fly drones as a hobbyist, although you have to register your drone with the FAA. If you are looking to register your drone, check out this article from PPA for info the process of getting yourself registered to legally fly your drone.
All that being said, flying and learning about drones doesn’t have to be confusing! If you want to learn how to fly, make sure you check out the Drone 101: Learn to Fly class on April 23rd!

Crawler carrying a mobile launcher 24 July 1965, the day the bearing trouble was discovered.
On 24 July the crawler moved a launch umbilical tower about 1.6 kilometers to test the crawler on two short stretches of road, one surfaced with washed gravel ("Alabama River rock") and the other with crushed granite. Preliminary data on steering forces, acceleration, vibration, and strain pointed to the gravel as the better surface. While the crawler was making its run, members of the launch team found pieces of bronze and steel on the crawlerway - the significance of which was not immediately recognized. The transporter was left out on the crawlerway over the weekend because of problems with the steering hydraulic system. On the 27th more metal fragments were discovered and a thorough search disclosed pieces of bearing races, rollers, and retainers from the crawler's traction-support roller assembly. After the transporter was returned to its parking site, a check of the roller assemblies revealed that 14 of the 176 tapered roller bearings were damaged. KSC engineers attributed the failure primarily to thrust loads encountered during steering; the anti-friction support bearings, about the size of a can of orange juice concentrate, were underdesigned for loads exerted during turns. For want of a bearing, the crawler was grounded indefinitely. And for want of a crawler the site activation schedule and the entire Apollo program would be seriously delayed.
A reexamination of Marion's design calculation indicated some other significant facts. The designers had assumed an equal load distribution on all traction support rollers; perfect thrust distribution over the entire bearing, i.e., an axial thrust equivalent to the radial load; and a coefficient of sliding friction of 0.4 (meaning it would take four million pounds of force to move a ten-million-pound object). During the early crawler runs, KSC engineers discovered an unequal load distribution on the traction support rollers. At times as many as four of the eleven rollers on one truck were bearing no load. The thrust, or side load, proved greater than expected. Finally, the crawler tests revealed that the estimated coefficient of sliding friction was far below the actual resistance experienced on the crawlerway. At a crawlerway conference on 27 June 1963, NASA engineers had insisted on a minimum design coefficient of 0.6. In the first runs on the crawlerway's macadam surface, the coefficient reached nearly 1.0.
Troubles with the crawler had not been unforeseen. Prior to the roller bearing crisis, M. E. Haworth, Jr., chief of the KSC Procurement Division, upbraided Marion for making difficulties about the tests:
KSC has tolerated innumerable delays in the assembly, tests and checkout operations of CT-1. These delays are to the definite detriment of Apollo facilities readiness and Marion's position as to the testing operations, will, if carried out, likely cause even further delays which will have a definite and substantial dollar impact on other projects directly and indirectly connected to the crawler transporter concept. The failure of Marion to fulfill its delivery obligations is in itself costing the government substantial sums which were not contemplated.On 14 October 1965 Haworth wrote Marion, expressing grave concern over the inactivity at the erection site consequent on a new labor dispute (the unions stayed off the job for nearly six weeks). The roof fell in on both NASA and Marion when the bearing story reached the press and television. Walter Cronkite told his evening newscast audience that the crawler was sitting on wooden blocks under the hot Florida sun, with a top Washington official stating privately that it might never work. The press and Cronkite revived the controversy over the award of the contract to Marion. Politics, they hinted, was involved; and in any case the low-bid procedure might prove penny wise and pound foolish.
NASA and Marion could answer that the design and construction of a land vehicle expected to carry 8,000 metric tons was without precedent. Its very size, as the Corps of Engineers had pointed out, ruled out pre-construction tests of the coefficient of friction in its moving components. A more pertinent answer was to develop a new bearing, a hydraulically lubricated sleeve bearing made of Bearium B-10. KSC selected the bronze alloy after testing a half-dozen materials at Huntsville. The new design provided separate bearings for axial thrust and radial loads. KSC retained in the design the original supporting shafts that housed the bearings. Although the sleeve bearings would not reduce the amount of friction, they would eliminate the possibility of a sudden, catastrophic failure. Periodic inspection could determine the rate of wear and need for replacement.
The disadvantages of the sleeve bearings-lubrication difficulties, the inability to predetermine useful life, and a need for more propulsive power because of increased friction - were acceptable. Fortunately, while the crawler design had underestimated friction, there was a considerable reserve of power. At KSC and Marion, engineers designed a new bearing system. A parallel effort modified the crawler's steering hydraulic system, almost doubling the operating pressure. At KSC, the burden of the bearing crisis fell principally on Donald Buchanan's shoulders. In Marion, Ohio, Phillip Koehring directed the redesign.
The original design, which failed in early tests of the crawler.
The sleeve bearing, which solved the problem.
Marion reinstalled the support roller shafts in early December. A prototype of the sleeve bearing arrived on the 14th. After cooling it in dry ice and alcohol, the assembly crew placed the bearing in its housing. The fit proved satisfactory, and the remaining bearings were installed by mid-January. On 28 January 1966, the crawler transported a mobile launcher approximately 1.6 kilometers to the assembly building. Bearing measurements indicated an acceptable heat factor. Fortunately, KSC had initiated the crawler contract early enough to allow for both labor disputes and redesign of the bearing. | aerospace |

My boyhood fascination for aircraft & the magic of flight has never diminished & I suppose it was only a matter of time before my photography reflected this.
Historic aviation has been a big part of my life, having been a member of the crew of an airworthy Catalina flying boat throughout the 1990s, so not surprisingly, World War 2 aircraft in particular captivate me, the combination of the elegant design & the historical significance of these airframes being unparalleled.
Portraying these machines is not about the glorification of war, but about celebrating both the incredible technological advancements made during this period, & the remarkable, bravery of the individuals from all nations who flew them.
It was my great privilege to meet many of them over the years, & I would like to dedicate these galleries to those inspirational characters, to everyone involved in the continued operation of these historic aircraft, & in particular to the memory of Dizzy Addicott, Keith Sissons, Ray & Mark Hanna, Hoof Proudfoot & all of those who I had the pleasure of meeting, befriending & flying with who are sadly no longer with us.

The trek to the lofty altitude took 83 minutes and the fall back to Earth took the chair 24 minutes. The tag line is very ingenious — Armchair viewing redefined.
The commercial was filmed with a Toshiba IK-HR1S ultra compact 1080i camcorder and the balloon was launched from the Black Rock desert in Nevada. The chair setup had to meet FAA regulations meaning that the entire camera, chair and balloon rig had to weigh less than four pounds.
The balloon and chair rig were also fitted with four different GPS systems to accurately record its height at any second to within four meters in altitude and within 30 cm in longitude and latitude position. Positional information was sent to the ground team every 15 seconds so that the team could locate the camera rig at the end of its journey.
Facts about the shoot:
- Tied to the rig was a specially created full-sized model chair made of biodegradable balsa wood – the chair was made by a company called Artem and cost about £2,500
- Launch coordinates of the rig were – 119 degrees, 14 minutes by 40 degrees, 48 minute (12 miles North-East of the town of Gerlach, Nevada)
- The quality of the footage from the Toshiba IK-HR1S cameras was: 1920×1080 pixel count; 1080i @ 50hz; 100 Mbps
- The temperature dropped to minus 90 degrees when the chair reached 52,037 feet | aerospace |

Some analysts believe that the Navy may consider deploying drones on aircraft carriers in the future. Military experts said in an interview with CCTV that China’s future development of ship-borne drones is not ruled out. Once successfully developed, the drone can become the "eye" of the aircraft carrier, and undertake tasks such as communication, intelligence, and target guidance.
According to the photos, the drone has a wingspan of about 16 meters and a fuselage length of nearly 9 meters. Some analysts said that as a special carrier-based training base for the Chinese Navy, drones appeared here. Although it is impossible to determine the specific model, it can prove that the Navy is seriously considering the future deployment of drones on aircraft carriers, and it is very likely that Take off by a catapult.
It is very difficult for a drone to land on an aircraft carrier. The United States started early in the field of drones and its technology level is leading the world. In May 2013, the US Navy's X-47B carrier-based drone successfully realized the first aircraft carrier to block the ship, and took a step closer to the actual UAV entering the aircraft carrier. The US military's requirements and positioning for the shipborne drone are also Constantly changing. Foreign media said that the X-47B is in the midst of the recent selection of the US military. The US Navy may also be equipped with an MQ-25A stealth unmanned tanker on the aircraft carrier in the future.
When it comes to the difficulty of taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier compared with the manned aircraft, Yin Zhuo said that the first is difficult to control. When the carrier aircraft is on the ship, it is generally observed by the human eye. It is not completely in accordance with the instructions given by the navigator. This requires accumulation of experience to complete. This kind of experience is difficult to convert into data import computer and turn into artificial intelligence, so the actual operation is very difficult. The US X-47B did indeed land successfully, but why did the US military not actually fight? The important reason is that for potential opponents such as China and Russia, the US military hopes that the aircraft carrier aircraft is a long-haul, long-range combat aircraft with a combat radius of at least 5,000 kilometers. However, the X-47B does not reach such a combat radius, so the United States hopes to continue to develop the next generation of shipborne drones. Therefore, the UAV has a great advantage compared with the manned aircraft. It not only has a long sailing time, but also has a larger fuel load and a larger amount of bomb load.
So, is China with a late-comer advantage, in the future, is it possible to keep pace with the United States in ship-borne drone technology? Military expert Li Li said that this possibility is not ruled out. From the exposed photos to analyze the shape of this drone, it can be judged that the aircraft is not a vertical take-off and landing model, and its wingspan is large. This type of aircraft needs to use many technical means to overcome difficulties when taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier. Such as the strength of the body. Once the ship is launched, the drone will become the "eye" of the aircraft carrier, and it will be tasked with communication, intelligence and target guidance.

It will also record and characterise the environmental pressure on the surface, Martian air and land temperatures, relative humidity in the environment, wind speeds and ultraviolet, visible and infra-red, radiation.
MEDA will be developed by an international consortium led by the Spanish Astrobiology Centre (CAB, CSIC-INTA) that also includes the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (Spain), Universidad del País Vasco (Spain), Universidad de Alcalá (Spain), the Rocasolano Institute of Physics and Chemistry (Spain), the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (USA), NASA Goddard (USA), the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (USA), Texas A&M University (USA), Michigan University (USA), Ashima Research (USA), the University of Padua (Italy) and the Finnish Meteorological Institute (Finland). As is the case with REMS, the environmental station also designed by the CAB that is right now collecting meteorological data from Mars on the Curiosity mission, Spanish industry will play a decisive role in this new project.
The Mars2020 rover will continue in search of the objective set for its Curiosity predecessor - to explore, characterise and assess the Martian environment as a possible habitat for life. Furthermore, this new mission will explicitly search for traces and signs of Martian life from the past. Especially interesting Martian samples will also be collected so that a future mission can bring them back to Earth. Finally, it will test and validate new technology intended for use on future manned exploration missions to the red planet.
MEDA competed against 57 other proposed instruments, more than double the number usually taking part in this type of tender. The Spanish bids also included SOLID (Signs of LIfe Detector) - also led by the CAB with Doctor Víctor Parro (Head of the CAB Molecular Evolution Department) as Lead Researcher - and a magnetometer - headed by Doctor Marina Díaz from the Payloads and Instrumentation Department of the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA).
About the CAB
The Spanish Astrobiology Centre (CAB) is a joint research centre of the National Institute for Aerospace Technology (INTA) and the National Scientific Research Council (CSIC). Created in 1999 and partnered with the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI), it is the first centre in the world to specifically focus on astrobiological research. Its objective is to study - from a transdisciplinary perspective - the origin, presence and influence of life in the universe.
The centre is home to astrophysicists, biologists, physicists, chemists, geologists, engineers, IT specialists and mathematicians, among others. Besides all aspects related to understanding the phenomenon of life as we know it (its emergence, conditions for development, adaptability or extremophilia, etc.), it also involves the search for extraterrestrial life (exobiology) and its derivations, such as space exploration (planetology) and habitability.
Over 150 researchers and technicians are currently working at the CAB on the development of various scientific projects, both at national and international levels. | aerospace |

On October 4, 1957, the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite, which as you may have guessed, was Sputnik I. And with that initial "victory" in conquering space, the space race between the US and Soviet Union was born. For more about Sputnik, head over to NASA.
Now that I've got Sputnik covered, back to the Google logo. I'm just not feeling the 'g'. Sputnik looks like what it's supposed to be (here's a photo of Sputnik from NASA), but what about Google? It sure looks like "Gooole" now.

“Flight safety is a serious matter, and we are closely monitoring the situation. In the interim, we’re focusing on enhanced surveillance of our 737 fleet,” Kumar told PTI.
China Eastern Airlines, one of three major carriers in China, grounded all its Boeing 737-800 aircraft after the crash. The unfortunate aircraft was on a flight from Kunming to Guangzhou when it crashed in Wuzhou in Tengxian County.
Boeing 737 Max aircraft is an advanced version of the Boeing 737-800, both of which are part of the Boeing 737 family and are manufactured by the US-based manufacturer Boeing. In the six months between October 2018 and March 2019, Boeing 737 Max aircraft were involved in two accidents that killed 346 people. A ban on the Boeing 737 Max plane in India was passed by the DGCA in March 2019 as a result of these two accidents.
DGCA lifted the ban on commercial operations in August last year after Boeing completed software rectifications to the satisfaction of the agency. Both Narendra Modi and Jyotiraditya Scindia expressed their sorrow over the crash.
FAA officials said they’re aware of reports that a China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 crashed in China this morning. The FAA is willing to assist the investigation if requested.
