The project was originally specified with two layers of #4 rebar at 18″ o.c. in a 12″ thick concrete slab.
Concrete contractor TWC Concrete Services, LLC replaced the steel with FORTA-FERRO synthetic macro-fiber at a dosage rate of 5 lbs/yd3, with joint spacing at 15 feet. More than 20,000 pounds of FORTA-FERRO was utilized to increase the fatigue resistance and flexural strength of the slab under the heavy point loads of the large aircraft. | aerospace |

Gathering a few hours before the landing, all of us were watching lectures by scientists who detailed some of Curiosity’s specialities. The ChemCam, the rover’s very capable robotic arm, and the CheMin were all certainly very impressive instruments. But everyone was also slightly scared about the landing. None of those instruments would matter if the landing did not succeed.
We switched to a live broadcast from the mission control as the time approached closer to the landing. In the past few months, the entire descent and landing sequence had seemed like something out of a movie as I was learning about it1. Now it was about to unfold before our eyes.
As news about the successful completion of each step reached JPL, our auditorium filled with applause. Finally, as the rover’s wheels were confirmed to be on Martian soil, loud cheering filled the entire giant room as the apprehensive tension finally broke, mirroring the scene at JPL visible before us on the live broadcast.
And just a few minutes later, the first two pictures started coming in. They were nothing much, just very low resolution black and white images of Curiosity’s wheels on the Martian surface. But that’s exactly what made them so thrilling. Just a few minutes after we found out that we landed a rover on Mars, we also started getting pictures, visual proof that we had succeeded. It had been quite a bit of time after their landings when the previous rovers on Mars started sending back their first images, but now Curiosity’s nearly immediate two small pictures, in which I could even make out individual rocks sitting next to the rover, made the landing feel just that much more real and tangible in my mind. For a few minutes, the phrase “Dare Mighty Things” I had been seeing all night online made perfect sense. Curiosity was truly an achievement representing all of humanity, the triumph of a people willing to take huge risks, doing very hard work, and then ultimately achieving an equally momentous task.
At the end of the night, I wanted to grab hold of strangers off the streets2, and tell them all about the Mars landing. “We have a new, 1 ton rover on Mars, that got there by a Sky Crane, and is already sending pictures from the surface! Can you believe it?!”
Because I still couldn’t completely believe it myself. | aerospace |

City Airport (ICAO: EGCB) is a general aviation airport in the Barton-upon-Irwell area of Eccles, in the City of Salford, Greater Manchester, England. Formerly known as Barton Aerodrome and City Airport Manchester, it is known by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) as Manchester/Barton.
It is situated 5 nautical miles (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) west of Manchester and was the United Kingdom’s first purpose-built municipal airport. Featuring four grass runways, it is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the UK. The airfield operates seven days a week, from 9 am (8.15am winter) until 8pm or sunset (whichever earlier) for fixed-wing aircraft. Commercial, private, military, police and air ambulancehelicopters can operate during the hours of darkness by arrangement, as the airfield can be equipped with portable runway lighting.
The airport is also used as a refuelling stop for light aircraft and helicopters. However, it lies on the edge of Chat Moss and the aircraft movements area suffers from occasional periods of waterlogging, restricting fixed wing operations at those times. Recent works to improve drainage on the airfield have seen some success in reducing the number of closures. | aerospace |

The repeater is located in the rooftop penthouse (equipment room) of the 9-story JSC Project Management building, Building 1, at the Johnson Space Center.
The Spectrum Communications SCR-500 repeater has a power output of 25 watts. The antenna, a Diamond G7-144, provides approximately 6db gain, giving an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 watts and providing coverage to a radius of approximately 30 miles (downtown Houston-downtown Galveston). The antenna is mounted atop the Building 1’s penthouse roof (effectively, the 11th floor).
The repeater has survived two hurricanes, tropical storms, and numerous Texas-sized thunderstorms. It has a back-up battery system designed to provide repeater operation for at least 36 hours. The repeater ID changes to “W5RRR BAT” when it is on battery power.
The JSCARC repeater carries the International Space Station (ISS) air-to-ground audio for local hams and non-hams. During shuttle flights, the mission audio is given over to the space shuttle mission audio. On landing, audio is switched back to ISS audio.
Because of the repeater’s wide-area coverage of the NASA-Clear Lake area and the JSCARC’s commitment to fulfill its public service obligation, the repeater is frequently used to provide communications for the many and varied public service events. | aerospace |

Alison Holton Assistant Group Scout Leader
The Scouts recently enjoyed the thrill of flying in a light aircraft at White Waltham airfield. For some it was the first time they had ever flown. Even for those that had, it was certainly nothing like flying in an average holiday airliner! First, the Scouts were given a tour of the hangar and then, one by one, were matched up with their personal pilot. After being strapped in, the light aircraft taxied to end of the runway and then they were off, marvelling in the magnificent aerial views of Berkshire on a glorious summer evening.
Thank you Mike Clews and your fellow pilots for enabling the Scouts to go up and enjoy an experience they'll never forget. Some of the older scouts were even allowed to take the controls for a moment.
Afterwards, Simon gave us a full tour of some of the amazing stunt mock-up planes, helicopters and cabins used in many a film including Mission Impossible, the Bourne series and The Night Manager. These were all (a little bit anyway) filmed at, or using planes from, this historic airfield.
Thanks to all involved for a truly memorable evening. | aerospace |

In the beginning of that period – in 1912 “Bulgarian State Aircraft Workshops” (“Aeroplanes DAR”) was founded. It was created under the auspices and with the direct contribution of Bulgarian King Ferdinand I as a workshop for the national air force and later became a manufacturing company. The first manager was German aeronautical engineer and aircraft designer Hermann Winter. After his contract with “Aeroplanes DAR” finished he went back to Germany and created one of the most famous planes in German aviation history “Fieseler Storch”, an airplane with extremely short take-off and landing. In 1925 the company started producing airplanes under the name “DAR”. Various planes came out of the factory, including successful copies of German “Albatros C.III”, “Focke-Wulf Fw 44J” as well as the Bulgarian designed “DAR 10” light bomber. However, due to some uncertain circumstances and obstacles, in 1943 “Aeroplanes DAR” ceased to exist.
From left to right: DAR-6, DAR-5, DAR-4, DAR-3, DAR-2, DAR-1, Bozhurishte airfield, Bulgaria, year 1934
After the fall of communism, Bulgaria of the 90s was a place full of hope and enthusiasm. One of those enthusiasts was Mr. Tony Ilieff, an aeronautical engineer working at the Sofia International Airport. In 1995 he, with a small group of engineers started an ultralight aircraft producing company. He named the company “Aeroplanes DAR” thus partially reinstating the legendary “Bulgarian State Aircraft Workshops” from the first half of 20th century. Even the location of the new company has been chosen to be at the place where it all started almost a century ago. So, “Aeroplanes DAR” is an innovative company with a long history that began in the previous century. They are proud to say they are older than “Boeing”. From 1995 when Mr. Ilieff took over the company serial production became a priority.

I'm not looking for any earth-shattering revelations regarding overflights or anything like that - just some idea of what it was like to serve on the squadron during that period." | aerospace |

The Canadian-based lawyer had on Friday shared his flight details, revealing that he will travel to Nairobi via Paris from Berlin, aboard Air France.
“These are my flight details on Air France [AF 836, Airbus A320], from Berlin-Paris-Nairobi on Monday, November 15. I will update everyone on Monday, if Air France stops me from boarding because of the red alerts by the Kenyan government,” the lawyer tweeted.
However, court had on Friday, 12th, 2021 declined to lift a government red alert stopping him from coming back.
Court’s decision now puts Miguna’s plans to travel back to Nairobi in limbo- since according to his application there is no airline that will allow him to board their aircraft in the event that the red alert still exists. | aerospace |

During the podiums discussion “Collision-avoidance” further details will be shared.
FLARM is the collision avoidance system and electronic conspicuity technology used by General Aviation and UAVs. Aircraft with a FLARM system issue visual and aural warnings when on a collision course with another aircraft. FLARM uses GPS and digital radio broadcasts to communicate with other aircraft. Many FLARM devices also incorporate an ADS‑B and transponder receiver. This enables aircraft that are not yet equipped with FLARM to be detected as well. FLARM is recommended by many aviation authorities and organizations. Over 60,000 manned aircraft, or more than 50% of General Aviation in Europe, already have a FLARM-system installed.
iwiation GmbH supports international authorities in accident investigation by providing flight-path-reconstruction based on video- & witness-information, 3D real-time-visualization and human factor analysis. The root cause analysis is used for the creation of lessons learned training. The most recent development is an artificial intelligence surveillance-system to improve aviation safety for small aerodromes that logs any flight activity with the capability to trigger customized warnings. | aerospace |

Captured here are visions of the past and future riding side by side– pretty neat. The stagecoach paved the way for the modern day automobile and the DC-3 revolutionized air travel!
It was late 1938 when The DC-3 first took flight. According to the Smithsonian, prior to its introduction, “a flight from New York to Los Angeles typically required 25 hours, more than one airline, at least two changes of planes and as many as 15 stops or so.”
But because of the DC-3, all it took was a single plane to cross the country, usually stopping only three times to refuel. Today, this aviation game changer hangs suspended in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. | aerospace |

Drones have grown quickly in popularity in the last few years and for good reason. They are fun and thanks to designers and engineers they have become affordable and user friendly. SpaceRails is also proud to offer a vast selection of drones that can be piloted by anyone. Before operating your first SpaceRail drone, there are some key points to remember to operating:
Tip #1 Fully Charge your Drone
For the maximum amount of fun, make sure that your SpaceRail drone is fully charged. The industry average for drone flight time is about 15 minutes.
Tip #2 Read the Instructions
While your drone charges, read the instructions. Each drone comes with their own remote control panel and features. Some have sensors that help them avoid objects, and others use GPS to return to their original take-off spot. Read the instructions thoroughly on your drone and ensure that you know how to operate each function.
Tip #3 Know the Laws
To ensure the safety of others, local governments have put drone related laws into play with the FAA. Requirements may include: registering your drone, no flying in specific areas (ie near airports, government buildings, national parks, etc), and no flying over a certain distance or height. Laws for the United States can be found here.
Tip #4 Choose the Right Flight Area
For beginners, we recommend choosing a large, flat, open area with no obstacles or protruding objects. An empty sports field or your car’s driveway works great. Ensure that the area is clear of objects that you can hit.
Tip #5 Practice Taking Off and Landing
Take a few minutes to practice take off and landing your SpaceRail drone. It’s best to familiarize yourself with the controls used, so that it’ll be easy to do so later on.
Tip #6 Time to Fly
After you’ve practiced the take-off and landing, take a step further and fly your drone left to right, right to left. Fly it up and down, vertically, and slanted.
Tip #7 Challenge Yourself and Have Fun with your SpaceRail Drone!
Once you’ve learned the basics of your drone, try inserting fun obstacles like traffic cones, suspended
loops, and poles. This is especially fun with the Moon Racer Flying Car. There are many competitions held for drones on obstacle courses. Try building your own and have fun!
These are the best tips for flying your drone. If you have any questions about your drone, please email [email protected]. | aerospace |

But as it turned out, the skillful pilot safely landed without much damage to himself or his experimental aircraft.
Fred Sorensen from Scenic, AZ was flying a 2000 Rans S-6 ES two seater airplane Wednesday afternoon when he lost one of three wheels.
“I think the wheel got knocked off the first time I tried to land. I felt something odd so I went back up in the air,” Sorensen told the Mesquite Citizen Journal.
Skydivers standing on the ground noticed Sorensen was missing the right wheel on his small aircraft and began hollering at him. “I was flying pretty slow and low to the ground,” he said.
Sorensen who has been flying since 1978 shut the engine off and attempted another landing. “I tilted
the airplane to the left and just came in very slowly. As I landed the plane swirled to the right and stopped.”
Larry Lemieux, Airport Manager, said Sorensen was only going about 20 to 30 miles per hour when he touched down.
In the meantime, fire crews and para-rescue units from Mesquite Fire & Rescue and units from the Mesquite Police Department raced to the airport not knowing what to expect.
When Sorensen finally landed, the skydivers and other airport personnel lifted the wing off the ground. Lemieux positioned his golf cart under the right wing. Together they all wheeled the small aircraft up to a hangar. A simple desk chair was placed under the body of the airplane to keep it balanced.
“I feel so damned embarrassed,” Sorensen said as he reflected back on the near tragedy. He was not hurt but the plane suffered “about $400 to $500 in damage,” he remarked. | aerospace |

A visit by the NASA administrator to a rocket factory is usually a predictable show-and-tell of the latest gadgets destined for outer space.
But there may have been some tension below the surface last week when the current administrator, Jim Bridenstine, stopped by the headquarters of SpaceX, the private rocket company of billionaire Elon Musk, in Southern California. SpaceX is a major contractor for NASA.
He and Musk had been exchanging nettlesome messages for two weeks, and the visit might have been as much about smoothing over ruffled feelings as viewing space hardware.
Taking questions from reporters, both men were complimentary toward each other and said they shared the same goals: to launch NASA astronauts to the International Space Station on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule as soon as possible, but not before the spacecraft had passed all of the needed tests.
“We’re honored to partner with NASA to make this happen,” Musk said. “This is a dream come true, really.”
The relationship between NASA and SpaceX has sometimes been fractious. The two are frenemies — odd, co-dependent bedfellows with shared dreams of pushing outward into the solar system, a cantankerous couple that cannot live with or without each other.
Absent NASA’s help and contracts over the past 13 years, SpaceX would not have become a powerhouse dominating the business of launching satellites to orbit. In return, SpaceX offers NASA cheaper costs for taking cargo — and in the coming months, perhaps, astronauts — to the space station.
But Musk has sometimes complained that NASA’s meticulous safety reviews were holding SpaceX back, while Bridenstine appeared to be wondering whether Musk’s dream of future Mars colonies was distracting the company from its obligations to NASA. | aerospace |

The movie does a great job explaining what it took for him to make his dream come true, and people were curious to know what he’s doing now: let’s discover his life after being an astronaut and his Tierra Luna Cellars project.
You can watch the official trailer for A Million Miles Away here on Youtube.
José Hernández now, from Astronaut to the Tierra Luna Cellars: the true story of A Million Miles Away
Yes, the movie A Million Miles Away on Amazon Prime Video is based on the true story of José M Hernández, a Mexican engineer born in a family of farmworkers who became an astronaut and joined a space mission. The movie is based on his autobiography, Reaching for the Stars: The Inspiring Story of a Migrant Farmworker Turned Astronaut, published in 2012.
His childhood, as portrayed in the movie, is authentic: he was a migrant worker with his family, and they used to live half a year in Mexico and the other half in the United States, harvesting crops that his father would later sell. However, his dream was to become an astronaut: he developed it after watching the Apollo 17 mission in 1972, when he was ten years old.
Witnessing José’s talents and aspirations, his parents decided to change life and give their children more stability so they could study regularly. José became an electrical engineer in 1984 and started working in a research center in 1990, where he developed a digital mammography imaging system that helps in the early detection of breast cancer.
Over the years, he applied for NASA’s space program many times, always being rejected. But in 2004, after 11 rejections, he got selected. He started the Astronaut Candidate Training and patiently waited for the right opportunity. In 2008, he was chosen as part of the team going into space for the STS-128 Space Shuttle mission, which launched on August 28, 2009. Below is the photo of the NASA team for that mission: José Hernández is the first one from the left.
José Hernández returned to Earth on September 11, 2009, after 14 days in space. After that, he kept working at NASA until his retirement in 2011.
Where is José Hernández now? After his experience at NASA, the former astronaut jumped into another personal project: he founded the Tierra Luna Cellars, a wine company that produces José’s own line of wines. José owns a small vineyard north of Lodi, the city in California where his parents live, and the names of his wines are inspired by Jose’s view of the constellations from space.
You can find Tierra Luna Cellars’ official website here, and here you can read the true story of José Hernández, as portrayed in the movie A Million Miles Away. And for the most curious among you: Tierra Luna is also the actual name of the restaurant his wife ran outside NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas, and José Hernández really used to help in the kitchen, when needed.
José Hernández also founded Tierra Luna Engineering, a manufacturing and consulting company oriented to aerospace services. You can follow José Hernández here on Instagram. His bio there contains all the things he is and has been in life: Retired NASA Astronaut, Motivational Speaker, President and CEO of Tierra Luna Engineering, Author, California Farmer. | aerospace |

Dubai: Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the newly-announced budget airline, is expected to start operations by June 2020, though the inaugural route is yet to be confirmed. Air Arabia Abu Dhabi is a newly formed venture between Etihad and Air Arabia. The new carrier - called Air Arabia Abu Dhabi - is the fifth airline to operate from the UAE after Emirates, Etihad, flydubai and Air Arabia, serving 9.5 million residents. The Abu Dhabi-based low-cost airline, a joint venture between Air Arabia and Etihad Airways, will start its operations with two Airbus A320 aircraft based at Abu Dhabi International Airport. With the announcement of Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, Etihad could also have come up with the best alternative to pursue possibilities into India.

Police said a man, identified only as Mr Xu, 41, was taken into custody and had a history of mental illness.
Air China flight CA1350 was heading to Beijing from Changsha but had to make an emergency landing in Henan province.
No passengers or crew were harmed during the incident.
Photos circulating on Chinese social media showed a man holding a cabin crew member around the neck using the pen as a weapon.
The security bureau added that the flight was forced to make an emergency landing at 09:58am local time on Sunday and was diverted to the Chinese province of Henan. All passengers were safely escorted off the aircraft by 10:50am.
Mr Xu, who is said to be from Hunan’s An Hua county, was later taken into custody with police now looking into the incident. The security bureau did not add when, or if, he had been released.
Hao Junbo, a Beijing-based lawyer, told news outlet the Beijing Morning Post that the man would not be held criminally liable if he was proven to have been suffering from a mental illness at the time.

As local residents would know, the skies over our island have become the playground for a variety of light aircraft which appear above us regularly and, more often than not, those aircraft are some of the many that are based at the Caboolture Airfield.
Having commenced operations in the mid-1980’s, this very busy airfield is not only home to several commercial operators including flying schools, it is also a place where those with an interest in the history of aviation can learn about the aircraft and aviators of days gone by through a visit to one of the museums located there.
One of these organisations is the volunteer operated Caboolture Warplane and Flight Heritage Museum which can be found on the perimeter of the airfield at Hangar 101 on McNaught Road. Now in its twenty-fifth year, the museum concentrates on promoting the history of both military and civil aviation to the wider community and as such, features displays of wartime memorabilia, information about the role of aviation in the various conflicts and a range of restored aircraft engines.
Visitors can also read about the tragic Lincoln crash at Mt Superbus in April 1955. Visitors to the museum can inspect a UH-1 (Huey) helicopter, an F111 crew escape module and a variety of other aircraft parts as well as having the opportunity to see one or more of the warbirds that are hangered on the premises.
These include a North American SNJ trainer, an Australian manufactured Winjeel and a P51-D Mustang which is partly owned by none other than Australia’s Red Bull Air Race Champion, Matt Hall.
These aircraft are all available for Adventure Flights along with Museum Vice President Ross Parker’s Wirraway 695. One other aircraft which can be found in Hangar 101 is the beautifully restored Gypsy Moth which was not only the first aircraft to land at Archerfield Airfield on its opening day in April 1931, it was the aircraft which was flown by Captain Charles Scott from London to Darwin in a record time which eclipsed Charles Kingsford- Smith’s time by nineteen hours.
The Caboolture Warplane and Flight Heritage Museum are open from 9 until 3 pm every day except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day so with an entry cost of only $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and children, it is definitely a low-cost way to spend a few hours. Discounts are available for group bookings and catering can be arranged.
Anyone requiring more information about this exceptionally interesting venue or perhaps would like to become a member and even a volunteer can call 5499 1144 during opening hours.

The column originally appeared in The Diplomat on 27 January 2023. Please read the original article here.
On January 15, a Yeti Airlines aircraft carrying 72 people, including four crew members, crashed a few kilometers away from Pokhara International Airport (PIA). Fifty-seven of those on board the aircraft were Nepalis and 15 were foreigners. This is the deadliest air crash in Nepal in the last three decades.
The crash came barely a fortnight after Pokhara International Airport began operations.
Apparently, the pilot did not report “anything untoward,” and PIA is among the “easier” airports in Nepal to navigate. An investigation is underway to identify the cause of the crash.
Nepal is no stranger to airplane crashes. It has been barely eight months since the last crash; a Tara Air plane crashed in May 2022 killing all 22 on board. In the last decade alone, there have been 20 crashes.
The mountainous terrain of Nepal means that air travel is the only option to reach some places. Even with alternatives, poor road infrastructure, short air travel, and increased disposable income have led to a rapid increase in the number of air travelers.
Investment in air travel infrastructure has also increased; over the last eight months, two new international airports have started operations.
The Yeti Air crash has raised concerns over air safety in Nepal. The role of aircraft operators and pilots as well as equipment is under the scanner.
First, Nepali aircraft operators cannot afford to buy new aircraft, forcing many to opt for cheaper used aircraft. Operators are said to have complied with only four of five accident investigation recommendations for air safety. Their close links to influential political leaders shield them from scrutiny, even when they flout the safety regulations. Many airports have not followed simple fencing, parking, and emergency vehicle standards.
Second, Nepali pilots are generally well-qualified, but there have been cases of indiscipline. Recently, three Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) pilots were barred from flying after they disobeyed instructions from the air traffic control (ATC) specialists in Hong Kong. Two more pilots have been grounded for failure to adhere to ATC’s instructions.
Third, Nepal’s air operating and safety mechanism is a mess. Corruption is rampant across the board. Aviation corruption has even brought down a prime minister. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) is the service provider and regulator of the aviation sector in Nepal. This has engendered a conflict of interest, especially regarding safety regulations. Ironically, the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation has not complied with about half the accident investigation recommendations directed to the ministry.
It is partly because of these risks that the European Union has imposed a blanket ban on Nepali airlines flying in European airspace.
The committee investigating the latest air crash will submit the report, detail the cause of the crash, and issue recommendations to improve air safety. However, it is unlikely to make much of an impact on Nepal’s current air safety regime.
The crash is also unlikely to dent air travel in Nepal. Currently, many Nepalis and foreign tourists are anxious about air safety. Pokhara is a major tourist destination for domestic and foreign tourists. After the crash, local businesses reported a decrease in visitors to Pokhara. However, as weeks pass by, the necessity of air travel will override the anxiety about air safety, and aviation patterns will return to normal. Nevertheless, in the short term, it will impact tourism, which was slowly gaining momentum after a two-year disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
There could be a fall in Indian tourist arrivals by flights to Nepal. More Indian tourists could opt for travel by the overland route to Nepal, at least in the short term.
Prominent Indian newspapers have used the tragedy to box China and BRI. They have highlighted that the newly inaugurated international airport was built with Chinese support. Some have drawn attention to the controversy that China claimed the airport was a Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) project. While the statements are factual, the reporting gives the impression that Indian newspapers see this as an opportunity to get back at China. It is a pity that the Indian press has shown little sensitivity to the tragic incident itself.
The crash also provides ex post facto justification for the EU’s ban on Nepali airlines in the EU airspace. At this point, the EU’s pressure on Nepal to make institutional changes to air safety could provide the impetus to Nepal to address the dire situation. | aerospace |

On Tuesday, September 6 at the Life Sciences Research Institure, Dalhousie University announced a partnership with the international aerospace company for applied projects in advanced materials, mobile graphics and visual and text analytics – each addressing specific industrial needs that will have implications not just at Boeing, but beyond. Thanks to this new investment from Boeing, faculty and students in computer science and engineering disciplines are being given a huge opportunity to engage in just that sort of research.
The funding for the projects, totaling in excess of $7 million, comes through Canada’s Industrial & Regional Benefits program, which requires companies who win defense and security contracts with the Government of Canada to make investments in the Canadian economy.
Evangelos Milios, computer science professor, is leading two of the projects. The first, mobile graphics, will help deliver complicated drawings, schematics and blueprints to aircraft manufacturing and maintenance technicians using smartphones, tablet computers and projection systems. The other, visual and text analytics, is about finding new ways to display, mine and interpret the massive amount of data that Boeing collects about each aircraft for improving safety.
Paul Bishop, with the Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science at Dal, heads up the third project in advanced materials, which will use advanced computer modeling and other techniques to develop alloys and coatings to improve durability and strength of the materials used in aircraft parts: aluminum, titanium, steel.
Each of these projects with Boeing will involve a number of faculty researchers, but also will provide extensive opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to conduct applied research.
“Every maintenance action on Boeing aircraft is recorded and sent to Boeing – the same with any accident, injury, problem during take-off. There is a massive amount of text on everything to do with the aircraft, but it’s what we call ‘noisy’ text: it has jargon, includes ad-hoc acronyms, has poor grammar, and it may not make sense to people in other parts of the company. We want to work to make it clean and accessible so it can be used by aircraft designers and safety engineers to improve aircraft safety." - Evangelos Milios, computer science professor, Dalhousie University.
“We believe this kind of collaboration can lead to more breakthroughs than Boeing and our partners can accomplish on our own. We’re proud to have Atlantic Canada’s leading research university on these research projects.” -Diane Axness, director of platform systems/subsystems technology with Boeing, who spoke of the value the research will have.
“We have a strong history of partnership. We’re privileged and honoured to include Dalhousie on the list.” -Susan Colegrove, regional director of International Strategic Partnerships for Boeing Defense, Space & Security.
“It’s a great environment for students. They get to take part in an applied program with a direct industrial impact.” -Dr. Paul Bishop, Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science, Dalhousie University.

.US Space agency NASA has sent a new Rs.170 crore titanium toilet better suited for female astronauts in a resupply mission to the international Space Station. Space station residents will test it out for a few months. At 45kg and just 28 inches, It’s roughly half as big as the two Russia built toilets at the space station.
The toilets currently on the ISS cater more toward men. But with more women joining the ranks, NASA set out to make a better toilet, tilting the seat and making it taller, said Melissa McKinley, the project manager at the Johnson Space Center. | aerospace |

The Andrews Labor Government is backing the next generation of space entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions and technology for the space industry.
Minister for Industry and Employment Ben Carroll today announced $100,000 for Moonshot – a Victorian-based accelerator focused on helping grow the global space innovation ecosystem.
The funding will support a space innovation boot camp ‘T Minus’, which is part of the NASA International Space Apps Challenge, a global hackathon that occurs over 48 hours in cities around the world.
Participants in the boot camp will spend two days working together and competing to hack together solutions to high-impact problems.
Moonshot will facilitate workshops throughout the event to help participants get their solutions into shape for commercial development.
The grant will also support a number of early stage start-ups to undertake an eight-week program to help them transform into functional businesses to create jobs and economic growth for Victoria.
Moonshot is part of Victoria’s space industry, which includes world-class research and development centres and advanced manufacturing expertise with significant space-related science and technology companies.
The Labor Government released its proposal for the Australian Space Agency, Victoria: The Place for Space, last month which shows Victoria’s space industry employs 2,300 people and generates $400 million in revenue.
The global space industry is forecast to be worth more than $1 trillion by 2040 with Victoria ideally placed to capture a significant share of this market – creating thousands of new jobs.

Long considered to be geologically inactive, our 4.6-billion-year-old moon is showing signs of tectonic activity via seismometers deployed between 1969 and 1972 during the NASA Apollo program. Although some “moonquakes” have been recorded near cliff-like fault scarps on the surface, they may be caused by the irregular gravitational effects of orbiting the more massive Earth or extreme temperature differences created by sunlight in the vacuum of space. Employing more sensitive equipment has been proposed for future missions to assist in choosing potential colonization sites.

Hungry Horse News | October 5, 2022 1:00 AM
Glacier National Park released a final air tour management plan last week that looks to end all helicopter and airplane air tours by Dec. 31, 2029. It will also cap existing air tours to 144 flights maximum annually and will restrict where planes and helicopters can fly for the remaining seven years.
The moves come 30 years after Glacier’s General Management Plan called for air tours to cease over the park.
It took a lawsuit filed by the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility against the Park Service and Federal Aviation Administration to get to this point.
PEER spokesman Jeff Ruch said the organization was pleased that Glacier was fading out tours altogether, but he said the Park should have gone through a formal environmental review process that would have looked at alternatives and taken public input.
Because as it stands now, Glacier will still allow the status quo to continue — up to 144 flights a year—until the sunset at the end of the decade.
Ruch maintained the Park Service could phase out flights even sooner. Glacier really doesn’t give a reason for the 7-year delay.
He also had concerns that by not going through National Policy Environmental Act review, it could open the Park Service to a future lawsuit by flight operators. Other parks, like Mount Rushmore, for example, are going through formal environmental reviews.
Still, he noted, Glacier, to date, is the only national park to announce it was ending air tours altogether.
A federal appeals court in May 2020 ruled that Glacier, along with 22 other national parks had to come up with an air tour management plan with the federal Aviation Administration within two years. The ruling came after a lawsuit was filed in 2017 by PEER that forced the issue.
Glacier’s General Management Plan, which was finalized in 1999, called for no commercial air tour flights over the park, but it was never implemented.
This final plan also restricts the flight path of tours, which have to follow the Going-to-the-Sun Road corridor on the west side of the divide only.
It also requires planes and helicopters to turn around near Road Camp and fly over the Loop. They cannot fly over Logan Pass.
No single operator can conduct more than three tours a day. But Homestead Helicopters and Minuteman Aviation are allowed three and five allowed three and five flights apiece annually, so in essence, they would have minimal tours.
Red Eagle Aviation has the most flights at 136.
The plan does not allow for any air tours over Blackfeet Tribal Lands.
It’s also considered a Glacier Park air tour if the aircraft flies within a half-mile of the park boundary.
The plan does not regulate administrative flights in Glacier. Glacier uses helicopters to fly equipment in and out of the park.
Air tours over the park have been a major complaint from visitors for decades. | aerospace |

The high speed, quick and efficient transport services, easy access, and natural route make it a dynamic mode.
The timely departure of a flight is no less of a management milestone. Making sure of a fully boarded flight, ready for departure on the perfect time without any delay takes tremendous management skills. However, passengers being the ultimate consumers of the services prefer to reach their final destinations without any delay.
What Are The Prime Causes Of Delay Of A Flight?
Air transport is one of the fastest and most availed forms of transportation in this century. There may be various reasons for the Flight Delays, some of them are
• Adverse Weather Condition:
The flights ultimately depend upon the weather conditions as it flies high above the troposphere. It is an excellent condition, and the passengers have to bear with the problem until the weather becomes normal again.
• Security Risk:
Often, the delays occur due to a security risk, which arises if some threat is detected like terrorist attacks, etc.
• Mechanical Issues:
The flights often breakdowns and require proper maintenance. So the delay occurs as the airplane company needs to fix another flight that will run instead of the allotted flight.
• Computer Glitch:
Hi-tech computer systems are used in the airplanes to control the air traffic and also for a safe ride. Often computer glitches and technical faults may cause a flight to get delayed till the problems are resolved entirely.
How Can The Delay Of A Flight Be Managed?
Flight delay is a common phenomenon for people who regularly travel on flights. Flight Compensation is a standard feature for the airlines. Here are some points on how a flight delay can be managed properly:
- The passengers must not make a commotion
- Wait patiently in the waiting area
- Interact with the crew member
The Fozup is an upcoming company that promises to restructure the air travel by introducing various offers such as 100% immediate payment for all flight delays that is faced by the passengers. The company makes sure that the customer gets flight compensations instantly as the delays occur. The passengers get paid when their flight is a delay. The only thing that the customers need to do to is to fill their name and their flight number at least 48 hours before the departure of their flight to avail this fantastic offer. So, this will bring a considerable change in the air transport industry. | aerospace |

On the other end of the line was Philip Scott Andrews, a photographer who currently works for the New York Times. Philip had received a Lytro prototype camera and was charging it up on his way to the Shuttle Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center to photograph the landing of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Philip has been photographing NASA Space Shuttle missions for many years, and having a Lytro on the ground at the landing site for STS-135, the last Space Shuttle mission ever, was very special—the beginning of a new era in photography juxtaposed with the end of another era. We posted a few of Philip’s light field pictures this week and managed to catch up with him for a short interview.
EC: When exactly were these light field shots taken?
PSA: These images were taken at the Shuttle Landing Facility, the giant runway at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida after the Space Shuttle Atlantis landed there to conclude its final flight into space.
EC: How did you get access to photograph the last Space Shuttle landing ever?
PSA: I have been working on a project on the final flights of the Space Shuttle for the last few years. In that time I have had the opportunity to meet some of the people that make manned space flight possible. It was through these relationships, and a bit of lobbying around the press room, that I was granted access.
EC: How long have you been photographing Space Shuttle missions?
PSA: Hmm, the first launch I photographed was STS-114, the first flight after the loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia. That was July 26, 2005 (I had to look it up) so I guess 7 years. For my project, Last Days, I photographed the final 7 launches.
EC: How did you feel when you saw the landing of STS-135? What was the mood at the landing site?
PSA: It’s always a pretty happy vibe when a bird comes back safely. This one, of course, was different. I didn’t have a lot of time to think right as the orbiter was landing because I was working quickly to transmit images for [the New York Times]. A few hours afterward, when we were allowed to go under the wing, was when I really began to emotionally connect with the situation. Everyone was proud to be there. The Space Shuttle was always more than a job for those technicians but it was particularly poignant that day. For some of them it was their last day as an employee. It was a true gift to be able to be there.
EC: This was your very first experience with a light field camera. Can you tell us whether it changed the way you take pictures?
PSA: I think I probably looked at including things I would typically not consider in the frame, because I knew there would be no problem with the depth of field. I’m still getting used to the technology but it forced me to think about compositions differently than with a standard camera.
EC: How do you think light field cameras will affect photography and journalism in the future?
PSA: Whoa, That is quite a question. I missed the transition from film to digital in journalism but it will probably be something like that. The new crop of digital cameras have allowed photographers to do things film didn’t allow, from extremely high ISO settings to movies and audio capture. I think its impossible to tell what these cameras will do. I can almost guarantee that there will be naysayers, but if these cameras allow us to tell stories in a different or better way, and I think it’s obvious that they do, then they will be embraced and pushed to do incredible things that their inventors and early adopters can’t possibly imagine.
I just want to say thanks so much to lytro, I can’t wait to see what comes next.
Born and raised outside Washington D.C., Philip Andrews has interned for the Associated Press and National Geographic, and currently covers Capitol Hill and the White House on an internship with the New York Times. Philip has won numerous awards in photography and journalism, and has completed freelance assignments of protests, Space Shuttle launches, and forest fires for publications including the New York Times and Getty Images.
You may notice that these living pictures aren’t as refocusable as are some of the other pictures in the gallery. While light field cameras are capable of producing pictures with dramatic refocus potential, not all pictures need to refocusable to be great!
Our living picture gallery features the work of photographers in the Lytro Professional Shooter Program (PSP), a small group of forward-thinking artists who lept at the chance to be the first to use Lytro prototype cameras in the field. | aerospace |

Australian airline Rex has announced plans to trial the emerging technology by 2024 on selected regional routes, while a number of operators across Australia are already doing so.
“The technology is working. It’s been proven in trial flight, and we can do a lot in two years,” Rex’s aviation projects managing director, Keith Tonkin, told ABC Australia on Wednesday.
“There are some companies in Australia that are really heavily involved in the battery charging systems and infrastructure elements of the technology.”
Mr Tonkin addressed the environmental urgency for alternatives to fossil-fuel planes, saying: “There’s a worldwide effort towards reducing carbon emissions from all aircraft operations, which contributes about 2 per cent of the world’s carbon pollution.”
However, he acknowledged that public perception around the safety of electric aircraft is an obstacle that airlines will need to overcome.
“There’s definitely a stakeholder engagement perspective to it,” Mr Tonkin said.
“I think it’s just a matter of educating people about the benefits of the new system… and then once we get started, it’ll be okay.”
Rex Airlines plans to swap or retrofit the airline’s existing fleet for electric engines fuelled by hydrogen fuel.
But Mr Tonkin said ideally a new aircraft would be specifically designed and built around the new propulsion system.
Peter Harbison, chairman emeritus of Australia’s CAPA Centre for Aviation, said battery weight was a major concern.
“If you wanted to fuel an A380 for a long-haul flight, you need a battery that weighed something like 500 tonnes, which is more than the weight of the aircraft itself at the moment,” he said.
“But on smaller, shorter sectors, it is going to be possible quite soon… within the next two to five years, to have aircraft that can operate short haul on electric power.”
The technology would also allow other airlines to operate flights using smaller planes and to carry up to half a dozen passengers.
He added that strict safety regulations in aviation would alleviate passenger fears about electric technology being used in the air.
“You can be absolutely assured that nothing is going to be flying people around that has not been vetted incredibly thoroughly,” Mr Harbison said.

It's an 8 hour interview by three different pilots and is intense. He has been working towards this ever since he got his pilot's license 17 years ago. And the day is finally here.
I remember in high school when he decided to get his private pilot's license. And the first time he flew me in the plane. And when he moved to Florida for flight school. And when he got his first job as a commercial airline pilot. It all seems like just yesterday.
17 years is a lot of pressure to cumulate in one day. I am so proud of him; his determination, discipline, and foresight. And whether he gets the job or not, I'll still be proud of him. He is my hero.

On a recent business trip to the Trenton Airforce Base, I stopped and took in the collection at the National Airforce Museum of Canada. All of these photos were taken from outside the fence as I didn’t have time to go in and review the collection properly before my next appointment. There are other aircraft located inside the storage building which tends to house many of the older planes. The museum opened on April 1, 1984, on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Royal Canadian Airforce.
P-140 Aurora – This long-range patrol aircraft was put into service in 1980 and remained active until 2017. It has a range of 7,400 kilometres and has been used for rescue missions as well to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking. After being in storage for a year it was brought to the museum and re-assembled for display.
CC-115 Buffalo. This aircraft was built by De Havilland in Downsview and completed on August 27, 1967, after which it went into service as a transport plane. In 1975 it took on a dual role as a Search & Rescue craft until it was retired in September 2020 after over 50 years of service.
CC-144 Challenger. This aircraft was put into service in April 1983 in Ottawa to provide transportation for VIPs. It got a new assignment in 1995 when it went to Nova Scotia to serve as a training plane for pilots in electronic warfare. Five years later it was back in Ottawa flying VIPs around. It was in Florida in 2012 when it struck a large bird and was damaged requiring extensive repairs. In 2014 the Challenger fleet was reduced from 6 planes to just 4 and this one was retired. It found a new home in the museum in 2015.
CL-28 Mark II Argus. This is one of 20 Mark II aircraft purchased in 1958 and used for maritime patrol. It was stationed at Summerside P.E.I. in the 415 Maritime Patrol “Swordfish” Squadron. It flies at 463 kilometres per hour and was in service until 1982 performing patrols as part of anti-submarine warfare.
CH-124 Sea King went into service on May 14, 1964, performing surveillance and anti-submarine tasks. It has a compact design with rotors and tail that fold up allowing it to land on the smallest warships. It is also amphibious and can make landings in water. This one served in The Gulf War in 1991 as well as East Timor in 1999-2000. When it was retired in 2018 it had the most air-hours of any Sea King having racked up 17,775.3 hours.
The F86 Mark V Sabre is a fighter craft, and the model was purchased between 1948 and 1958. The one in the museum was in service until 1969 serving in Chatham, New Brunswick until it was placed in duty as an instructional airframe. This model of fighter can achieve speeds of 973 kilometres per hour.
CH-147D Chinook was originally a USA army helicopter beginning in 1969. The Canadian Government bought it and five others in 2008 to deploy to Kandahar in Afghanistan. It has been part of the museum collection since 2016.
F-18 Hornet. This aircraft is capable of flying at Mach 1.8, 2,200 kilometres per hour at sea level. The one in the museum was put into service in 1982 as a training craft in Cold Lake, Alberta. All training on the Hornet was conducted at Cold Lake. This airplane was donated to the museum in 2009 as part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of flight.
The Spitfire Mark IX was one of the primary fighter crafts of the allied forces in the Second World War. It was in service between 1940 and 1950 and could fly at speeds up to 586 kilometres per hour. This example was donated to the museum in 2001.
Ch-118 Iroquois was a combat support unit which performed search and rescue operations. It was in service between 1968 and 1995 when all Iroquois were retired from service. This machine was then used at CFB Borden and then CFB Trenton for aircraft battle damage repair training. It was placed in the museum in 2007.
Code named “Fishbed” by the Allies, this Russian fighter jet was never flown by the Canadian Military. It was officially known as a MiG-21 and was first put into service in 1959 and was able to fly at 2,230 kilometres per hour. The specimen in the museum was put into service in 1975 in East Germany. After German Unification in 1990 it was soon withdrawn from service and was donated to the Canadian Government in 1993. It has been in the museum collection since then.
The CF-116A Freedom Fighter in the museum was in service from 1968 to 1995 and entered the museum in 1997. It was used at Cold Lake, Alberta as a tactical fighter and training aircraft. In 1976 it was transferred to the 419 Moose Squadron where it was painted red and white like the Canadian Flag.
This is just a sampling of the 37 aircraft in the museum, several of which are housed in the indoor facility. At some point I would love to spend the time to go through the museum properly and see the full exhibit including all the other memorabilia that is on display.

The solar system is made up of seven earth like planet which the guys at NASA have a relatively good chance of being able to maintain human life.
Great when do we get to meet them? We won’t, not in our lifetime. The solar system is 40 light years away and barring a major scientific breakthrough of epic proportions we aren’t getting to Trappist-1 anytime soon.
However, NASA displayed a really cool space tourism poster during the announcement. This got our inner travellers thinking once we have finished travelling planet Earth, will we soon be in a situation to travel to other planets?
So, let’s have a look at the space tourism industry to see what options out there are.
1. Space: The Final Frontier
Space tourism is a relatively new phenomenon. In the last few years, we have seen a rise in companies offering space travel to tourist. So what exactly is it? In a nutshell, it is space travel for recreational or leisure purposes.
Startups like Virgin Galactic and XCOR Aerospace are among the small few that can boast being planet earth first spacelines!
Ultimate: Being the best or most extreme example of its kind – Oxford Dictionary. Today’s show is all about wrapping up the year with 'THE ULTIMATES'. We have some amazing guests lined up to speak with you and some fabulous travel tips to share! P.S. We also have some extra special giveaways too! So make sure you tune into 2UE Talking Lifestyle from 2pm-4pm AEDT this afternoon. Chat soon!
Over a period of 8 years, 7 tourists made the trip to outer space, with the last flight happening in 2009. These travellers flew aboard Russian space crafts for a reported fee of between 20-50 million USD. That is a fairly big spread and even at the lower end, most people won’t be able to afford it (any millionaires out there get in touch).
However, if you don’t have a spare 20 million lying around there is still hope. Suborbital rockets will allow flights to space also. Keeping in mind space begins 50 km from the earth, a suborbital flight will likely carry you around 130 km. While this may be a way off just yet, but one astronaut reckons it will be as cheap as $10,000 to fly within the next ten years.
2. Mars One: A Project To Conquer The Red Planet
Want to go somewhere exotic? How about Mars? It really doesn’t get more exotic than that. Someone already had this idea and has put a plan together to send a team to Mars. Dubbed Mars One the project aims to place a permanent human settlement on Mars by 2032. The selection process for this team started in 2013 and drew a massive response of 200,000 candidates.
Now in the 3rd round of selections, there are a mere hundred applicants left. The trip is insanely long taking 7 months to land and there is no way of getting these pioneers home at present. There are technology companies looking into ways of getting these people home, but for now, it is a one-way ticket.
The settlement will already be set up the time humans get there. A rover will be deployed to pick out a suitable spot before deploying living pod and food (don’t expect 5 stars). The travellers aren’t a tourist in any sense other than the fact that they are excited by the prospect of exploration.
With that said, what is to say once they have broken this new ground that there won’t is space for a few more of us over there? | aerospace |

I listened to Jack Nicholson’s character talk about aliens in outer space living as individuals, being their own leaders, completely independent from everything. It blew me away. I made a vow that I will become my own leader and, since I can’t explore outer space, I will explore my inner space."

In the earth’s atmosphere, the concentration of helium by volume is only 0.0005 percent, so it cannot be obtained in significant quantities through air separation. Yet helium can reach concentrations of up to 7 percent in natural gas and can be extracted during gas processing at concentrations of 0.2 percent and above.
Industries Usage and Applications
From manufacturing to flight, helium is widely utilized throughout the aerospace and aircraft industry. In space flight operations, helium is used to purge hydrogen systems and works as a pressurizing agent for ground and flight fluid systems. It is also a source of lift in weather and other surveillance balloons.
Helium is used to test critical automotive parts such as radiator heat exchangers, air conditioning components, fuel tanks and torque converters to ensure they meet quality specifications. It is also used in combination with argon as a source of inflation in a growing number of airbags.
Helium is used to achieve cryogenic temperatures of -451 degrees required for superconducting magnets in MRIs and NMRs, allowing the capture of high-resolution images of internal organs and tissues.
Helium’s inert properties at arc temperatures make it an ideal gas for welding materials with high heat conductivity such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and magnesium alloys. Helium is also used in heat treating processes such as gas quenching and in furnace atmospheres to produce parts with higher tolerance and improved quality. | aerospace |

when people were asked
to imagine how the year 2020 would look,
people imagined futuristic looking cities.
Cars flying in the sky.
Flying cars would have become a reality.
But unfortunately, it didn’t happen.
The reality looks like this today.
While people imagine the year 2020 to look like this.
But do you know what, friends?
Flying cars are something
that’s slowly becoming a reality.
Today, in 2022,
a company in Slovakia,
has successfully tested an actual flying car.
This isn’t a dream for the future,
it is the reality now.
Come, let’s understand this technology
in today’s video.
“If you haven’t noticed lately,
we’re living in the future.
But there’s still one thing that’s conspicuously absent.
“Where are the flying cars?”
“I was promised flying cars.”
“I don’t see any flying cars.”
Would there ever be an aircraft
where you can just jump in,
and be able to take off
and fly where ever you want to?”
Listening to it, friends, it feels like
a flying car is something really futuristic.
but people had started trying to make one about 100 years ago.
The year 1917,
saw the first attempt at building a flying car.
Or perhaps a roadable aeroplane.
An aeroplane that can navigate roads too.
It was named the Autoplane.
This was built by Glenn Curtis.
It was given the title
‘Limousine of the Year.’
But was this flying car actually able to fly?
It’s said that when they tried to fly it
it lifted off the ground
but unfortunately, it couldn’t fly properly.
So the Autoplane turned out to be a failure.
After this, we get to 1933,
when the US Air Commerce Bureau conducted a competition,
called the Flivver Competition.
They challenged people to design an aeroplane
that would cost less than $700 to build.
Many models were submitted in this competition,
and one of these models was of
Designed by Walda Waterman.
This was an aeroplane that looked like a car.
It could take flight
but never went into production,
because they were going through the Great Depression.
There were enough funds to produce it.
But what could be called the first successful attempt
took place in 1945.
American inventor Robert Edison Fulton,
built an aeroplane called the Airphibian.
It looked like a proper aeroplane,
the only difference was that the front of it could be detached.
It took about 5 minutes to convert this aeroplane into a car.
And the resulting car looked like the front of the aeroplane.
For its era, this Airphibian was quite innovative
and it got a flight certification from the Civil Aviation Authority.
But the problem was that,
because of the compromises in the design,
it was neither a good aeroplane,
that could compete with the other aeroplanes.
Nor was it a good car,
that could compete with the other cars.
When it turned into a car, it looked really weird.
To add to it, in 1945, there were financial problems due to World War II.
This company could not find investors for this flying car.
And then came the Convaircar.
Industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss
attempted this in 1947.
This looked like a car stuck with an aeroplane on it.
Airphibian looked like an aeroplane completely.
But this looked as if
the car got stuck to the aeroplane by mistake
and is now flying with it.
It too took 5 minutes to convert from an aeroplane to a car.
And by converting, it meant
detaching the aeroplane part and keeping it aside.
And then it could be used as a car.
It was a great idea for its time.
And in its third test flight,
this Convaircar crashed.
The pilot checked the reading on the meter,
and thought that there was enough fuel
and that he could continue flying,
and though the car did have enough fuel,
there was very little in the aeroplane’s tank.
It led to this unfortunate crash.
After this crash, people lost confidence in it.
And the investors backed out.
The problem with these attempts was that
they took a car, and they took an aeroplane,
and they tried to combine them as they were.
A true flying car would be one
that could actually transform from an aeroplane to a car.
The two can’t simply be combined
merely to detach the part of the aeroplane when the car is used.
Morton Taylor was the first person
to decide to work on the design of Airphibian,
and to make the wings of the Airphibian foldable.
So that when it has to be used as a car,
the wings can be folded
and stored behind the car.
This came true in the year 1949.
It was named Taylor’s Aerocar.
They got the certification,
the approval for mass production,
but the problem was that
they needed at least 500 advance orders
before mass production could begin.
But there weren’t enough people interested in it.
So they couldn’t get the orders.
So the deal had to be cancelled.
At one point, the company Ford was quite close
to buying this Taylor Aerocar.
But that deal couldn’t be finalised either.
There was a scarcity of funds
but perhaps a bigger problem was
the lack of technological advancement.
We didn’t have the technology
to build a true flying car.
neither do we lack funds,
and the technology has moved by leaps and bounds since the 1950s.
So the recent attempts at building a flying car,
have been amazing.
They are truly futuristic.
In October 2021,
a Swedish company called Jetson Aero,
presented their Jetson 1 Airplane to the world.
As you can see,
it doesn’t look like a car at all,
rather it can be called an extra-large drone.
Because it flies just like a drone.
A person sits inside it and pilots it around.
It is a single-seater vehicle.
Only one person can sit inside it.
They had started working on it in 2017.
The first prototype was ready in January 2018
and it had its first successful flight too.
But they introduced their company
and presented their 2nd generation prototype to the world.
In October 2021.
Its speciality is its design.
A helicopter needs a helipad to take off
but this is so compact,
so small that it can land on your roof
and take off from your neighbourhood garden as well.
To keep it lightweight,
its frame is made of aluminium.
And it weighs only 86kg.
It is very light.
And the person sitting in it,
can weigh up to 95kg.
Perhaps the most interesting thing is that
you wouldn’t need a pilot’s license to fly it.
Because according to the US Laws,
there is no need for a pilot’s license,
for a home-built, single-seater aircraft.
Since it is a single-seater aircraft,
only one person can sit in it,
and it’s home-built too
because if you buy it,
it’ll reach you 50% assembled.
You can order it from anywhere in the world,
the way that the company ships this to you,
you need to assemble it yourself.
So it comes under the category home-built.
With this, the legal hassles for the company reduce.
Because the company would no longer be responsible in case of accidents.
Because you have put it together.
Jetson 1 is truly very futuristic,
but it cannot be practically used much.
Because you can’t fly it at night.
You can’t fly it over city traffic.
Because these are restricted airspace.
it is quite difficult to fly a camera drone nowadays,
it will be very difficult to get permission to fly this.
But their co-founder, Peter Ternstrom, has said that
they aren’t trying to solve a problem in the world
they are simply promoting it as a fun activity.
He claims that it is fun to fly it.
You can guess the origins of the name of the company, Jetson.
If you recall, The Jetsons used to be a cartoon show a while ago.
And the futuristic aircraft used by the Jetsons to travel
looked somewhat like this.
So they tried to copy that design
and took inspiration from it.
So this Jetson 1 cannot be termed as a proper flying car.
Because it can run on the roads.
But there’s another company in Slovakia.
They presented their Aircar to the world last month.
It is a flying car in true essence.
Friends, it is very clear
that to build such technology,
we need skilful engineers and out of the world innovation.
Unfortunately, innovative things of this level
can be rarely seen in countries like India.
A huge reason for this is that
there are many engineers with degrees in India
but they lack the skills that are actually needed to do a job properly.
More than 90% of the engineers in India
aren’t employable due to this.
Thankfully, there are some companies
that are helping software engineers to become more skilled.
Scaler.com is a tech school
where the subject matter experts from the top tech companies teach students.
They share their industry experience with the learners.
They focus on college students and working professionals
so that they can be upskilled.
Especially with their one-on-one mentorship programs.
They focus on making them more skilful.
They claim that in 2020-2021,
more Scaled learners got placement in Amazon
compared to all the IITs combined.
They provide the learners with every tool
with which they can become more skilled
and can further their careers.
If you are interested,
you can check out scaler.com through the link given in the description below.
I’d recommend their Software Development Course
and the Data Science course.
They would help you achieve the right fundamentals
and you would get basic problem-solving skills.
Let’s return to the topic.
So what’s special about the AirCar?
It completed its first intercity flight in June last year.
From the international airport Nitra
to the Bratislava airport.
Both cities are in Slovakia.
And Slovakia is an Eastern European country.
Last month, the Transport Authority of Slovakia,
gave it clearance for take-off.
It received the Certificate of Airworthiness.
The European Aviation Safety Agency’s
all testing safety standards are obeyed by this flying car.
This is the first flying car to actually look like a flying car.
They used a BMW car as a base
and have attached wings to it.
The attempts of 60-70 years ago
was when they tried to stick a part of the aeroplane to a car.
But this is the first attempt
where the wings come out of the car.
No special fuel is needed to fly it.
The petrol that you get at the petrol station
is enough to fly this car.
Because a 1.6l BMW engine is fitted inside it.
While flying, this AirCar can reach a height of 8,000 feet.
And it can fly at the speed of 190 km/hr.
And a maximum of 2 people can sit in the car.
And to transform from an aeroplane to a car,
it takes only 3 minutes.
This is the way it transforms.
The wings can be folded to the back.
And everything’s automatic.
There’s no need to unscrew anything or to separate anything.
It is all in one piece.
You can see the wings going into the back of the car slowly
and it is transforming into a compact car.
On the road, this AirCar would look like this.
It looks like a normal car on the road almost.
But it is a little overboard at the back.
It isn’t bad.
Because some cars are long at the back.
One thing’s certain
to fly this, you would need a pilot’s license.
because it needs a proper runway to take off.
This AirCar has completed more than 200 takeoffs and landings
so there’s no doubt that it is a successful flying car.
If you want to buy it,
how much would you need to pay?
It’s said that its price will start from $500,000 ranging to $1 million,
depending upon the model you want to buy.
And within 12 months,
it will become commercially available.
Meaning, you can buy it in the market then.
The founder of Jetson 1 had said that
they see their aircraft as a means to have fun.
It’s supposed to be used by people as a fun activity.
But the company that has made the AirCar,
they believe that this AirCar,
will replace helicopters in the future.
Because the internal combustion engine of a normal car is used in it,
it would mean that it’s very energy efficient.
Normally, to fly helicopters and aeroplanes,
a lot of fuel is used.
They need special fuel.
But since this AirCar can fly with a car’s engine,
it would mean that in the future,
it wouldn’t be very difficult to use the engine of an electric car
to fly this AirCar.
It means that,
a fully electric AirCar can be possible.
It will be good for the environment
in comparison to helicopters and normal airplanes.
The most important question to arise here is;
What’s the need for this?
Can there be a practical use for these flying cars?
The most important use for these flying cars is said to be
for emergency services.
Such as for ambulances, fire engines or for the police.
One advantage would be that it would be easier to use than helicopters.
And there’s no need to build separate infrastructure for them.
Railway tracks need to be laid for trains,
tunnels have to be dug for metros,
roads need to be built for cars,
but for the flying cars, the same infrastructure can be used
that already exist.
Another major advantage of these is that
these are very flexible.
Talking about Jetson 1 aircraft,
they can land and take off from anywhere.
We will get end-to-end connectivity here.
And obviously the environmental impact,
can be reduced drastically
because normally, cars take a long time to cover long distances
but flying cars would be able to do it faster.
And they’ll consume less energy as well.
But if you talk about their disadvantages,
perhaps they have more disadvantages than advantages.
The first is that
Do we really need flying cars?
Let’s compare it with the cars.
Nowadays, cars have become very common,
in almost every city of every country in the world.
Everyone needs to take a driving test to get a driver’s license.
But despite that,
many people drive irresponsibly,
there are accidents,
so many people die in traffic accidents around the world.
If people can’t learn to drive properly on the road,
will they be able to learn to fly properly?
It’ll be 10 times more difficult.
It’ll have 10 times more scope of causing accidents.
And if an accident does occur mid-air,
it would be that much more deadly.
This is a very serious issue
how many people would need to get sufficient pilot training
to fly these?
A solution to this problem can be
automated flying cars.
That the flying cars fly automatically with interference from the pilot.
Like the automated cars nowadays,
Tesla already has these features
where the car can drive itself.
If such self-driving flying cars are made,
only then can this problem be avoided.
But talking about Tesla,
Elon Musk believes flying cars to be a bad idea.
Because according to him,
when there will be thousands of cars flying in the sky,
somewhere or other there’ll be an accident
and if one of those cars fell on someone’s head,
that person will die instantly.
The risk of people losing their lives in these accidents is very high.
And normally, when your car breaks down,
you park it at the side of the road to check it.
But if your car breaks down in the sky, where would you park it?
These problems would increase in bad weather.
Imagine that you are flying your car,
and it is very windy,
or there’s a thunderstorm,
suppose there’s a lot of turbulence.
Normally, since the aeroplanes are much larger
they can bear it.
But in smaller private jets,
there’s an increased threat from turbulence and bad weather.
And since the flying cars wouldn’t be very big,
they’ll face the same threats.
After this, there’s also the problem of safety.
It’s true that no new infrastructure is needed for a couple of flying cars,
but if thousands of cars fly in the sky,
a new system of traffic lights will need to be put up.
Such as the ones for cars.
Since the cars will be flying in all directions, there’s a dire need for traffic lights.
Newt technical standards would need to be enforced,
so that the flying cars could communicate with each other
so that there aren’t collisions and crashes.
But it wouldn’t be easy to do this.
Because today, it is so difficult for governments to make regulations for drones.
That the governments take to banning drones.
And these drones merely fly to take aerial photos and videos.
To do so for the flying cars,
how difficult it would be from the government’s perspective,
you can already imagine it.
Then comes the problem of noise pollution.
If you have flown any small drone,
you would have noticed the loud sound while flying it.
Or if you’ve gone closer to a helicopter,
it is on the next level.
That’s why you need to put on headphones in the helicopter.
These same problems exist for flying cars.
These problems exist in Jetson 1 and AirCar too.
It creates a lot of noise.
It is so noisy that it isn’t practical to use it in the urban environment now.
To deal with this, a new technological innovation is needed.
So that the noise level of the flying cars can be reduced to a bearable extent.
Apart from noise, another area which needs some innovation is the
fast charging technology.
Nowadays, drones can be flown for up to 20 minutes only.
How long would the flying cars last in the air?
With the present technology,
it can fly up to 50 km only.
after that, they would need to be charged or refuelled.
And it takes up a lot of time.
These are the practical problems
that need to be solved in the future
for this technology to be successful.
Even if all these problems are solved,
the final problem to arise here
would be the cost.
After so many innovations,
the final price of the flying car,
would be at a level where people would actually want to buy it?
Will it be practical for people to buy it?
Now the AirCar costs around $1 million,
if the cost isn’t affordable,
it would be very difficult for it to be truly successful.
This is valid for any new technology.
If the competing technologies are offered at a much better cost,
the competing technologies would be the ones to be successful in the future.
If travelling by cars, trains and aeroplanes is at a much lower price,
in comparison to flying cars,
then the flying cars would never be successful.

On 6 August, Vietnam Airlines’ flight VN612 is preparing to land at Noi Bai, where the flight captain discovers a laser beam with high intensity light on the cockpit, threatening flight safety.
According to representatives of Vietnam Airlines, this is not the first plane of Vietnam Airlines when landing laser exposure. Before that, in December 20-16, while preparing to land at Noi Bai airport, a plane of Vienam Airlines flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi was also exposed to green light on the cockpit, threatening flight safety.
According to statistics, in 2016 alone, nine Vietnam Airlines aircraft were laser-beamed during the landing. It is noteworthy, most of the laser lightings occur around the Noi Bai airport area.
~~>>Update on new information on the real estate news in Vietnam here: Vietnam real estate news
According to the assessment, the laser beam in the cockpit while the aircraft is in flight / landing can hurt the pilot eye, seriously threatening civil aviation safety, disorientation, loss of control temporarily machine fly. The act of laser projection on the cockpit when the aircraft is in flight / landing is in violation of international and Vietnamese regulations on civil aviation security and safety.

We have the VK-Ranger EX-SAR fixed-wing aircraft, the DJI Inspire 1 UAV and the Viking VK-FF-X4 multi-rotor copter. The fixed wing unit it currently in repairs and pilots are in training. As such, the Inspire 1, a very stable platform has been used in all missions of late. The Inspire 1 is used by hundreds of first responder and law enforcement agencies across the country.
We have a number of cameras and payloads that can be used or deployed on this remarkable drone, including the standard DJI X3, DJI Z3, and the FLIR XT 640 (13mm) cameras. Using a drop mechanism, we are able to drop life vests, clothing, medicine, water, communication tools, etc. to a found victim or person in peril and need. We recently added a high lumen, tactical light to illuminate search areas from the air in remote areas. Finally, we have an underwater sonar device that can be dragged by the Inspire 1 to monitor the bottom of lake or stream if searching underwater.
While searching for a missing person, we often use either a grid type search pattern or an active real-time viewing search method. With either method, we record numerous, overlapping high-resolution images that are viewed for content and analyzed for anomalies and objects of interest by an on-site image specialist and remote, trained analysts after uploading to a central server.
DEEMI was the first Search and Rescue agency in the country to receive an FAA Part 333 certificate authorizing them to fly a UAV, or drone, for SAR operations. We now operate under Part 107 and have FAA waiver and authorization to fly at night.

Airworthiness presents a classic “system of systems” problem, which requires a comprehensive and balanced approach to ensure cost effective engineering and operational solutions are developed.
In additional to ensuring the inherent safety characteristics of the platform (e.g. airframe, engines, flight control systems etc) mission related systems also need to be given equal consideration. Flight Management, Communications and Navigation Systems can present significant safety hazards to aircraft and their occupants in today’s crowded airspace, if not managed correctly.
Airworthiness depends on effective;
- Operational Requirement Capture
- Fully Integrated Design, Test and Evaluation process
- Use of Competent People and Organisations
- Use of Industry Best Practice & Intelligent Application of Recognised Standards
- Implementation of an Effective Safety Management System
Osprey personnel have demonstrable experience of working on a wide range of aircraft and aircraft systems. We have significant experience of providing customers with System of Systems solutions to meet their Regulatory Requirements.
We have supported clients in the following areas:
- Development of system safety case for major aircraft systems
- Whole aircraft safety cases
- Weapons system safety case
- Software system safety analysis
We have supported the following clients:
...Their input to the whole process was pivotal to it's success and it says much for the quality of the work completed that Phase 1 was achieved on time and using a "green field" scenario that was unusual in terms of achieving regulatory approval. Phase 2 was delivered on budget and on time which would not have been achieved without the excellence of product delivered by Osprey Consulting Services Ltd. As a group we will have no hesitation in utilising them in future works should the occasion arise. | aerospace |

The best private jet companies understand that a private flight is as much a part of the vacation or retreat as the experiences that occur after you reach your destination. To make sure that your voyage is as enjoyable as possible, your private jet company should do several things to cater to you.
Private Jet Safety
Private jet safety must be a top priority for any company you choose to travel with. You should never have to worry about things like whether the craft has jet insurance, the experience level of the pilot and crew, or what certifications the craft has. The company should also be on top of weather conditions so that you are kept safe and never inconvenienced by the weather.
The Private Jet of Your Choice
You should be able to choose your aircraft when you book a private jet flight. Whether you need a large craft to accommodate your large family, you wish to fly in a particular style of aircraft, or you want to reach your destination quickly, the best private jet companies will be able to make it happen. What you are flying in is an important part of the private jet experience, so your options should be limitless.
Countless Travel Destinations
A private jet company should make it easy for you to fly to any destination you desire. They should be handling the mundane details and making sure that the airports that are chosen are convenient in proximity to your home and your ultimate destination. The airports should also be as private and accommodating as possible so that you don’t have to go through all the troubles and wasted time of a commercial airport. You should truly feel like the world is your oyster when booking a private flight.
No Hassles to Worry About
When it comes to things like luggage handling and fleshing out the details of the trip, a private jet company should handle these things so that you are free to focus on pure enjoyment. One of the perks of booking a private flight is that you are the star of the show, so your luggage is not lumped in with many other bags. No fuss, no worries about losing bags, and no itineraries to carefully follow.
Your Flight, Your Way
Your private flight should be a luxurious and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Meal arrangements are generally made in advance so that the company can cater to any special requests that you have. If you have pets that you would like to bring or other preferences, the company should work with you to make sure that you are able to do exactly as you desire. If done properly, your private flight experience will be a dream come true. | aerospace |

Inspired by the achievement of flight in the atmosphere arounddreamers of spaceflight drew on the physics of Isaac Newton and the science fiction of Jules Verne to imagine how it might be feasible to fly in space.
Rocket pioneers worked alone at first, theorizing, tinkering, and encouraging others in their quest. This was a time when theoreticians, scientists, and engineers strove to transform visionary concepts of space travel into realistic means of sending astronauts and cosmonauts into orbit and bringing them back safely to Earth.

Rocket Pioneers Wernher von Braun, Bernhard Tessmann and Karl Heimburg built early U.S. military rockets at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville. Inspired by Hermann Oberth’s ideas on rocket travel, the mathematics of spaceflight and the practical design of rockets published in his book “Die Rakete zu den Planetenraumen” (The Rocket to Space), a number of rocket societies and research institutes were founded in Germany.

Rocket societies sprang up around the world, including the German Verein fur Raumschiffart (Society for Space Travel) that led to the development of the V2. These "rocket societies" especially flourished in Russia, Germany, and the United States. Most quickly moved toward developing the one technology that pointed a way into space: the liquid-fuel rocket.
The rocket societies spun off the first groups of professional rocket engineers in corporations and government laboratories. 31 Discussions of the principles of rocketry can be found in many places, but some of the most lucid explanations from the layman's standpoint are in Ley, Rockets, Missiles, and Space Travel, ; Erik Bergaust and Seabrook Hull, Rocket to the Moon (Princeton, N.J., ), ; Ralph S.

George Stephenson was entrusted with constructing the line, but a competition was held to choose a locomotive. Space pioneer Hermann Oberth was one of the most significant rocketry pioneers of the 20th-century, by birth a Romanian but by nationality a German.
Born on Jin Hermannstadt, Romania, Oberth's theories into practical space vehicles started German rocket clubs all over Germany as hardcore rocket enthusiasts tried to translate. Ten years ago today (Oct. 9), NASA slammed a hunk of space junk into the moon, forever changing our perception of Earth's nearest neighbor.

The successful launch of the mission dubbed STS-121 is only the second shuttle launch since the space shuttle Columbia disaster several years ago and the first since the shuttles were grounded about a year ago after a piece of foam from the external fuel tank broke off during takeoff. Modifications were ordered and completed as part of the requirements. Yet, despite the changes to ensure safety of the crew, concerns arose late Monday afternoon about a 5 inch crack in the foam on the fuel tank of Discovery....just 24 hours before scheduled liftoff. Crews worked hard through the night and Tuesday afternoon STS-121 got underway with several space walks and much needed supplies being delivered to the International Space Station.
Yet, today's launch brings up the big question on everyones mind....Is the space shuttle program safe? Should the program be grounded? Are the space shuttles too old to fly? | aerospace |

This blog has been produced to provide insight into a City-REDI / WMREDI project looking at the development of a Space Cluster in the West Midlands. The project is led by Dr Chloe Billing and colleagues:
The Space Sector in the UK
In the last decade, space has transformed into one of the UK’s fastest growing and most promising sectors. Trebling in size since 2010, the UK space industry now employs close to 42,000 people across the country and generates an income of nearly £15 billion every year. Space has the potential to drive growth and productivity across many areas of the wider UK economy, as a strategic “enabler of growth in other sectors” (Gov.uk, 2015) and ‘critical national infrastructure’. In response to this, the UK Space Agency ‘Local Space Sector Cluster and Supply Chain Development’ Fund was established to develop the maturity of ‘early-stage’ local space clusters across the UK. This ‘seed corn funding’ focussed on providing evidence and analysis of local ecosystems in order to stimulate local advocacy and investment in Space and increase the uptake of space data and technologies. The 2020 funding was awarded to seven locations – including the West Midlands – to ensure space is a priority for regional economic growth and attract commercial investment from space companies to these areas.
The Development of a West Midlands Space Cluster
The main outcome of this work is a proposed route to increase the maturity of the West Midlands space cluster. Our research has revealed the latent competitive advantages, through new combinations of assets, technologies, skills, knowledge, and expertise that are present in the West Midlands region now, as the building blocks of a future West Midlands space cluster. We now have a deeper understanding of the foundations available for attracting further investment and talent to drive the evolution of this cluster, as part of a wider regional economic growth plan.
A unique strength for the future development of a West Midlands space cluster is our manufacturing sector (aerospace, automotive, and rail). The West Midlands is a globally significant sector for advanced manufacturing, assembling a critical mass of globally competitive business and high-tech Small Medium Enterprises (SME’s) operating across a range of transport-related sectors, and in particular aerospace, automotive, and rail. Within the region we have strong supply-chains mobilised around key capabilities (such as engines, electromechanical systems etc.). These industries (and in particular aerospace) share close similarities with space and thus demonstrate strong latent space potential. Furthermore, whilst the West Midlands is home to only a handful of downstream space application businesses, the region combines space application capabilities with important end-user sectors for space data/services, creating a powerful value-chain ecosystem for innovation, business growth, and end-user benefit. Our space application capabilities include data analytics, image analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and gaming technologies. The West Midlands holds particular strengths in key user sectors that have the potential to benefit significantly from space enabled data and services, including future transport (connected and autonomous vehicles, digital rail etc.), modern services, health and life sciences (connected data driven services), and agriculture 4.0 (precision agriculture and autonomous farming systems). Combining satellite-enabled applications (including, ubiquitous connectivity, remote sensing, and precision navigation and time), space-enabled systems and services have the potential to transform these end-user sectors, addressing major industrial and societal challenges and driving innovation, competitiveness, and growth.
Helping the Region Rebuild
This is an important national initiative to both enhance the UK’s position in the global space technology sector and promote regional growth. These will translate leading R&D into applied technologies and better job opportunities for the region as a whole. Exploration of the global space technology sector is especially welcome at this challenging time as we start plotting our region’s economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

Bangladesh Cricket Board used drones as test case in the ongoing Bangabandhu T20 Cup.
BCB were trying to use drones from the opening day but failed to so as they did not have the approval of civil aviation authority.
Eventually, BCB managed to use the drone during the match on Friday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
‘We are yet to get the permission and so we are using it as a test case. Hopefully we will get the permission soon and you will see it using us in compition,’’ said an official broadcaster team Real Impect on Friday.
Usually if anyone wants to bring drone in the country they have to apply 60 days but as the competition was planned abruptly they did not find time to apply it. | aerospace |

Today, though, BT has gone a step further, announcing the UK’s first commercial drone corridor, working alongside a new consortium of companies and organisations with a view to delivering 5G use cases for drone technology.
“As drone numbers continue to rise, there is an urgent need to safely integrate commercial drones into global airspace alongside manned aviation,” said Gerry McQuade, CEO of BT’s enterprise unit. “In showing how drones can deliver improved, potentially life-saving services to the public, we’re aiming to accelerate the adoption of fully automated drones in unrestricted UK airspace in a safe and responsible way.”
BT and drone partners
BT, alongside partners such as Altitude Angel and a number of UK tech start-ups, announced that it has been selected by UK Research and Innovation to deliver Project XCelerate. Project XCelerate will make up part of the wider Future Flight Challenge project, with the aim of establishing the UK’s first commercial drone corridor in open and unrestricted airspace, located south of Reading, Berkshire.
“Project XCelerate is bringing together experts and world leaders in their respective fields, something we’re very proud and excited to be a part of,” explained Richard Parker, Altitude Angel CEO and founder. “Our Arrow technology is truly ground-breaking and the key enabler to the project and we’re pleased to be deploying it for maximum benefit in the UK first.”
The project will conduct flight trials along an 8km-long corridor during the summer of 2021, and it hopes to demonstrate how drones can operate safely in the same airspace as manned aviation.
“BT’s role in the consortium is to bring world-leading drone expertise together and to provide the secure and resilient mobile network connectivity, as well as our drone detection services,” McQuade said. “The power of EE’s 4G and 5G networks will ensure commercial drones remain connected for greater situational awareness, accurate positioning and to avoid collisions – ensuring that they can be operated safely and responsibly across UK skies.”
Beyond visual line of sight
Other companies included in the Project include Dronecloud, HeroTech8, Skyports, and DroneStream. And together they will aim to develop a system where drones can operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS).
“The Project’s ambitions are clear, we are making the technology, safety and commercial cases for delivering real-world BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) drone flights, at scale,” said Jan Domaradzki, Dronecloud CEO. “Dronecloud will help integrate the complex components required into a centralised, command and control platform for Enterprise Drone Fleets.”
The key use cases will include the use of drones to assist the emergency services, to carry out 3D mapping, to aid the police force, to undergo safety inspections, and to make deliveries.
“Skyports is already working with the NHS in Scotland to assist with the response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by transporting medical supplies and samples between healthcare sites and integrating our drone delivery service into their supply chain, “ explained Duncan Walker, Skyports CEO. “In Project XCelerate, we will be able to contribute our expertise and experience of flying BVLOS missions and benefit from the means to operate in non-segregated airspace – essential to achieving permanent, full-scale commercial drone delivery operations.”
The Project will operate on the EE mobile network – which also delivers the Emergency Services Network (ESN) in the UK - which will enable BT to provide the communications for BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) environments, such as GPS location and remote identification, command and control, redundant geo-awareness, and live notifications (NOTAMs) sent directly to drones in-flight. | aerospace |

The unmanned ‘Pouncer’ is gaining a lot of coverage in the technology world due to its unique and novel design. Windhorse Aerospace’s nine foot wingspan drone will be entirely constructed with “foodstuff” or edible materials.
Honeycomb, compressed vegetables and salami are all possible resources being considered in the design.
Although the prototype may sound like a bit of a publicity stunt, there is sounds science and motivation behind the project. The team hope that the drone may help in solving a key humanitarian crisis, being food sources and availability. The drone could not only be used to drop supplies in the most needed areas, but then can also be ‘recycled’ itself, acting as a high-tech meal for those in need.

Keywords:Small Air Force, Powell Doctrine, Stand-off Strike, Balance of Resolve, Weapon Superiority, Combat Effectiveness, Force Integration and Jointness
The aerial incidents after ‘Pulwama’ episode opens an inimitable chapter in the history
of air power as it cemented the pivotal status of air force in the overall security milieu.
A mission executed by a small air force under modern air combat environment which
achieved all its politico-military objectives. However, the incident is the beginning of an
unrelenting story as Indian Air Force (IAF) can never erase this discomfiture and will
respond in future to regain its lost glory and diminish Pakistan Air Force (PAF)
psychological ascendency. The operation has generated several challenges including
psychological and professional for IAF and parity of capabilities for PAF, reminiscence
of which will continue for decades to come. In order to remain vigilant and alert, PAF,
though a small air force in comparison to IAF, needs to maintain its ‘Resolve to
Respond’ by ensuring its effectiveness against all domains of current complex conflicts.
A new approach is adapted by borrowing an academic theory of ‘Balance of Resolve’
from the strategic brinksmanship, identifying six variables, which covers all aspects of
resolve, prudence and inter harmony both at governmental and military levels. The
article focuses on the effectiveness of a small air force on the future consequences of
the operation in the domain of ‘Resolve to Respond’ and a future road map for a
sustainable resolve to address any similar misadventures.

The Aerospace, Defense and Security Enterprise has been proposed to promote the advancement of a critical component to Arizona’s industry and innovation. To this end, Science Foundation Arizona developed a playbook to provide a common operating picture and a how-to manual to support the efforts of participating partners.
SFAz-Commisioned Report Assesses Arizona Challenges to Advance Aerospace, Defense and Security Industry
The report, prepared by the L. William Seidman Research Institute, identifies a series of common themes and gaps in the aerospace, defense and security industry. It also analyzes best practices in competitor states, examines collaboration between firms, and recommends activities that can best support this critical Arizona industry.
A successful effort of public and private partners has enabled the Air Force Research Lab with top-secret security clearance to remain in Mesa and serve as a new magnet for research and high-paying jobs.
Governor Brewer Commits $1.3 Million to Aerospace Initiative
“Arizona has a rich history in the aerospace and defense industry -- through our excellent reputation and corporate A&D presence statewide that provides well-paying, stable jobs for our state’s citizens,” said Governor Brewer.
Air Force Generals Will Lead Aerospace And Defense Initiative
SFAz has attracted retired Brigadier General R. Thomas Browning and retired Lt. General John F. Regni, two well known and respected career military veterans with education and business experience, to serve as co-directors for an initiative geared toward bolstering the state’s aerospace and defense industry (A&D). | aerospace |

Review was conducted on the elements of national space law, including literature critiquing particular strengths or weaknesses of existing laws and literature, on the obligations placed on States under international law and on why writers make particular recommendations as to the content of legislation. The article will summarise the key elements one would anticipate finding in the outer space regulatory framework and which will form the structure of the analytical framework when considering how States implement international space law in practice.
There are many writers who have written on the subject of space law. Whilst most writers focus their writings around the general issues of space law, which include the historical perspective of the evolution of space law and the international policy and law governing space-related activities, very few writers specifically comparatively analyse or discuss the national space legislation of any particular State.
The first monograph on space law was published in Germany in 1932 by Vladimir Mandl, widely known as the ‘Father of Space Law’ . In his Das Weltraum-Recht: Ein Problem der Raumfahrt , he discussed and elaborated on the law of outer space ‘as an independent legal branch governed by principles from the law of the sea and the law of the air’. He ‘opposed the then common idea of sovereignty in outer space’ .
In 1963, Andrew Haley discussed the issues pertaining to the relationship between the space law and the conduct of States in his Space Law and Government . He discussed the actual and potential benefits of space exploration, and the connection between space flight and the rule of law. He described the approaches that are taken by some States as regards to the
limits of national sovereignty over the celestial bodies, and most importantly, he maintained that a lthough States have sovereign rights over their land, this right is not extended to outer space. Elaborating on the rules regarding to the space vehicle regulation, he recognised that there is the administrative problem of enforcing these rules, and made suggestions on how to overcome the problem. On issues regarding liability relating to the space activities, he made a case study on the domestic law of the USA. He foresaw that as more States will want to embark on the space ventures, there would be a need for an international treaty to regulate space activities, especially in respect of States’ international liability. He also discussed space medical jurisprudence, the players in the space arena, i.e. the intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations in space activities, and he also articulated and elaborated the rules of ‘metalaw’ in regards to the extraterritorial intelligence . The year 1963 also saw McDougall, Casswell and Vlasic discussing the relationship between law and public policy in their Law and Public Order in Space . In 1964, Cohen discussed the relationship between legal and political approaches in States wanting to be involved in space-related activities in his Law and Politics in Space . He discussed how the political system of States could influence the legal aspect of the regulation of the space-related activities. In 1968, Vlasic wrote on the similarities and differences between aviation law and space law in his Explorations in Aerospace Law . In 1968, Fawcett wrote International Law and the Uses of Outer Space . He maintained that due to the features of the declaration on outer space by the United Nations General Assembly, i.e. it was adopted unanimously, and it was expressly entitled a ‘declaration of legal principles’, this international declaration would establish rules of law, if the following four conditions at least were satisfied: that the sponsoring States had authority to make the declaration, that the declaration served a common interest, that the principles declared were capable of functioning as rules of law without further elaboration and that the sponsoring States intended to observe them as such . In 1970, White wrote on the legal aspects of giving judgements in his book entitled Decision-Making for Space; Law and Politics in Air, Sea, and Outer Space . He discussed how the political view of States could influence the legal aspect of the regulation of space-related activities. He also discussed how States should behave when giving out their decisions when they concerned space-related matters. He also discussed the similarities and differences between the sea, airspace and outer space . In the same year, Lay and Howard took a more direct interest in the question of international treaties that regulate the activities in outer space in their The Law Relating to the Activities of Man in Space . However, they only discussed two out of the five international treaties that were in force at that time, namely the 1967 Outer Space Treaty and the 1968 Rescue Agreement. They gave their interpretation of the treaties and maintained that States must use and explore the outer space in accordance with the international treaties prescribed . Manfred Lach from Poland took a more direct interest in ‘the question of the definition of the scope of space law’ in his book The Law of Outer Space: An Experience in Contemporary Law-Making . He advised jurists of space law ‘to use analogies creatively and follow the most progressive tendencies in international law’ and also ‘opposes the presumption that outer space had been a ‘lawless area or legal vacume’ since it has always been subject to international law’ . In 1976, Ogunbanwo discussed the relationship between international law and outer space activities in his International Law and Outer Space Activities . He discussed the benefits of the use and the exploration of outer space and made suggestions on how States can conduct their activities in accordance with the international treaties .
Starting from the 1980s, writers have significantly developed the interpretation of the international treaties on outer space law. A particularly significant contribution was made by Carl Christol when he wrote Modern International Law of Outer Space which provided a complete study of the outer space international treaties, published in 1982 . He also developed the idea of the non-existence of exclusive rights of usage and exploration of outer space and its celestial bodies even though some States might have the practical advantage and capabilities over others . In the same year, Forkosh discussed the liability of States in conducting their space-related activities in his Outer Space and Legal Liability . He argued that States would be responsible and liable under the outer space international treaties irrespective of whether the activities were conducted by the States itself or by a private person of that State. He also discussed the method of compensation as prescribed by the 1972 Liability Convention . In 1984, Matte discussed space activities and international law in his Space Activities and Emerging International Law . In the same year, Fawcett discussed the contemporary issues relating to the activities in outer space in his Outer Space: New Challenges to Law and Policy where he acknowledged the arrival of modern technologies in space devices used for space-related activities and made some suggestions on how the international space law should be used to regulate the activities . Gennadi on the hand was interested in the peaceful use of outer space when he wrote Keep Space Weapon‑ Free . He discussed the definition and interpretation of the word ‘peaceful use’ and the reasons why weapons should not be used and kept in the outer space . Similarly, in 1986, Hurwitz wrote The Legality of Space Militarization where he discussed the provisions in the international treaties pertaining to space-related activities particularly in relation to the practical aspects of the usage and the non-usage of outer space for military purposes . In 1991, Henri Wassenbergh discussed the evolution of the regulations pertaining to outer space in his Principles of Outer Space Law in Hindsight . He discussed the extension of roles and involvement of private enterprise in the space-related activities and how they have made an impact towards the need to have national space legislation that ‘develops within the context of the five main multilateral inter-governmental agreements concerning space law’. He did not however, discuss the provisions that should be incorporated into the national space legislation but instead emphasised the fact that the need to have national space legislation emerged from Article VI of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which states that ‘the provisions of the space treaty do not directly apply to ‘national activities’ carried out by non-governmental entities, but they are accepted under the responsibility of the ‘appropriate state’’ . Thus Wassenbergh argued that due to the fact that a State has jurisdiction over ‘nationals activities’ that are carried out by non-governmental entities, therefore that State must have regulations to supervise the conduct. He also defined the word ‘national activities’ in the case of activities of non-governmental entities as referring to ‘the ‘nationality’ of the enterprise which deploys the activities, or the nationality of the persons who engage in space activities, but in any case that it referred to space activities carried out from a state’s territory, as that makes the state a ‘launching state’ . In the same year, Stephen Gorove discussed the evolution of the regulations pertaining to the legal issues and policies surrounding the usage of the outer space in his Development in Space Law: Issues and Policies . In 1992, Hurwitz specifically concentrated on the liability of State in using and exploring the outer space and discussed the meaning of ‘launching state’ and the extent of a State’s liability in his State Liability for Outer Space Activities in Accordance with the 1972 Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects . In the same year, Masson-Zwaan discussed the similarities and differences between airspace and outer space in her An aerospace plane: an object at the cross-roads between air and space law , where she argued that the new technology surrounding the making of the space plane has made the UN outer space treaties not up-to-date with the new technology development. In 1994, Bloomley discussed the relationship between outer space law and politics in Law, Space and the Geographies of Power . He argued that States activities in the usage and the exploration of outer space are influenced by the policies and ideologies purported by a State . In 1995, Mosteshae discussed the benefits of using and exploring the outer space and argued that States should use the outer space for purposes that would benefit humankind and how States should use the outcomes of their experiments in outer space in his Research and Invention in Outer Space . In 1997, Cheng discussed the UN international space treaties in Studies in International Space Law . In the same year, Crowther discussed the issues surrounding outer space activities and made some predictions about how activities would develop in the future in Outlook on Space Law over the next 30 years . He argued that in order for the UN international space treaties to be consistent with the development of outer space activities and space technologies, the treaties must be amended so that they would not fall short of being able to regulate the space activities that were not previously in existence . In 1998, Reynolds and Merges looked at the problems surrounding activities in outer space in respect of legal and policy aspects in Outer Space: Problems of Law and Policy . In the same year, Bender specifically discussed the activities pertaining to satellites and the legal implications surrounding them in Launching and Operating Satellites: Legal Issues . In 1999, Diederiks-Verschoor discussed the basic principles relating to outer space in An Introduction to Space Law . Although simple and very basic, nevertheless she further elaborated on the rule of ‘non-appropriation’ of the outer space and the celestial bodies . In the same year Metcalf discussed the usage and the exploration on outer space in Activities in Space - Appropriation or Use? , where he argued that although some States have placed their experimental structure or vehicle on celestial bodies, this does not mean that the States have appropriated any particular part of the celestial bodies . In 1999, Nandasiri also discussed the relationship between the international space law and the UN in International Space Law and the United Nations . As having the experience with working with the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs, he gave his insight into the historical perspective of the evolution of how and why the international space treaties were drafted, how States perceived these treaties, and why these treaties must be used to regulate the space-related activities of States . In 2001, Kayser discussed the legal issues surrounding the launching of space objects in Launching Space Objects: Issues of Liability and Future . In 2003, Haanappel wrote on the relationship between law and policy surrounding the air space and the outer space in The Law and Policy of Air Space and Outer Space: A Comparative Approach . He commented that national space legislations which are enacted by States which are active in outer space activities are the result of the 1962 United Nations General Assembly Resolution on the Declaration of Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space , and the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies 1967 (1967 Outer Space Treaty) , and therefore must be considered in the light of the rules contained in those instruments . In 2005, Peterson discussed the international space treaties in International Regimes for the Final Frontier . In 2007, Lyall and Larsen discussed issues of space law in Space Law . In the same year, Goh discussed how States should settle their disputes when they concerned outer space activities in Dispute Settlement in International Space Law: A Multi-Door Courthouse for Outer Space . She discussed the fact that, although the UN international space treaties have already provided the mechanism on how to settle the disputes, the mechanism must be enforced in order for them to be effective, .
Apart from the general works that have been written on outer space law, some writers have concentrated on the outer space activities of a particular State or group of States. However, they do not specifically discuss the national space legislation of those States. For example, in 1992, Bourley wrote Space Law and the European Space Agency , where he discussed the relationship between international space law and how it has influenced the space activities of the European Space Agency . Similarly, in 1994 Roger and Vittorio also discussed on how the usage of international cooperation is beneficial to the European Space Agency in International Cooperation in Space. The Example of the European Space Agency . Madders also looked at the legal aspects surrounding the space-related activities of States in Europe and identified the main participants in space-related activities in A New Force at a new Frontier: Europe's Development in Space Field in the Light of its main actors, policies, law and activities from beginning up to the present . He argued that one of the reasons why some European States are more active in space-related activities than others is because of the policy and ideology that they have when choosing which activity they want to participate in or otherwise . Steven on the other hand wrote on the space activities of the State of Japan in Japan’s space program: a fork in the road? , where he discussed the evolution of Japan’s space activities and argued that although Japan is very advanced in its space technology, the few launching failures that Japan has suffered have affected Japan’s confidence in its space industry .
Treatments of national space legislation have nevertheless been written by some writers. There are four writers that can be identified as having contributed in this field. The first was Nathan Goldman who in 1996 discussed the relationship between the international space treaties and national space legislation in American Space Law: International and Domestic . He discussed the juridical status of the American national space legislation under international law and some administrative problems in enforcing the regulation. His discussion, however, is mainly concerned with the relationship between American national space legislation and the international space treaties. He does not discuss other States’ national space legislation and thus there is no discussion on the basic common features of national space legislation particularly on appropriate regulatory framework for developed countries . In 1998, the second writer, Frans G. von der Dunk wrote Private Enterprise and Public Interest in the European 'Spacescape': Towards Harmonized National Space Legislation for Private Space Activities in Europe based on his PhD thesis of the same title. He discussed the relationship between regulating the governmental space activities and private space activities, where he argued that because of clear and logical legal regulation is already in the interest of private parties, the regulation of the governmental space activities and private space activities are thus not contradictory. He also acknowledges that because private participation in space alleviates financial burdens of governments, the public interest is served by allowing private enterprise to undertake space activities’ . Although he discussed the advantages of having a harmonise national space legislation for private space activities in Europe, he does not discuss in detail the key components that should be incorporated into the national space legislation . However, in 2 004, Julian Hermida provide the most detailed and thoughtful analysis of how national law should implement key elements of international space law when he wrote Legal Basis for a National Space Legislation . He dealt quite thoroughly with questions relating to the common features of the national space legislation. Unlike Von de Dunk who mainly focused on the harmonisation of national space legislation amongst the European countries, Hermida examined and analysed the national space legislation of both European and non-European States, including Sweden, Australia and the United States of America, and focused especially on Argentina’s national space legislation. He did not however examine any national law and legislation of Malaysia concerning its space-related activities. Hermida’s writings however had a significant impact on the idea of the common features that all national space legislation should contain when he proposed that ‘national space legislation must be comprehensive in scope and comprise the regulation of all space activities, clearly identify its space policy objectives which conform to international obligations, provides a straightforward licensing regime, a clear and reasonable continuing supervision regime for all non-governmental entities to verify their compliance with international standards, and a transparent procedure for the recording of all space objects’ . He also recommended that the existing national space legislation of other countries could be used as examples when enacting national space legislation. He maintained that ‘even if States have established their domestic norms differently as a consequence of their own legal and political individual characteristic there are common denominators in all these domestic jurisdiction’. Specifically, he held that ‘all countries, particularly those actively involved in the pursuit of space activities, have implemented an authorization system, one of which pillars is the state’s assurance that the activities will not entail significant safety perils’. Additionally, with regard to domestic space launch legislation he postulated that ‘any legal framework aimed at governing launch services must necessarily address the issue of the allocation of risks and assignment of liability and reallocate these risks according to the country’s space policy objectives’ . He articulated that ‘the common denominators used by all States which enacted the national space legislation should constitute the basis for the adoption of future national frameworks of space activities in other countries’ . Basing on the content of international law, he thus recommended three compulsory ‘building block’ provisions that should be incorporated into national space legislation, namely regulations on the authorisation and supervision of space activities, regulations on the registration of space objects, and indemnification provisions .t On how the national space legislation can be successfully implemented, he suggested that States need to provide a mechanism to staff the space agencies with qualified individuals thus making them equipped with suitable manpower and human resources who are knowledgeable in the area of outer space law . Following Hermida, Michael Gerhard, in his writing entitled National Space Legislation, published in 2 005 , wrote on the two research projects which he was involved in that were jointly carried out by the Institute of Air and Space Law of the University of Cologne and the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), i.e. ‘Project 2 001- Legal Framework for the Commercial Used of Outer Space’ and ‘Project 2001 Plus – Global and European Challenges for Air and Space Law at the Edge of the 21st Century’, which discussed, inter alia, the issue of national space legislation . Based on the outcome of the projects, he concluded that national space legislation should have provisions on authorisation and supervision, registration and indemnification and any other additional related aspects, for example regulation of insurance law and transportation regulation. He argued that the three building blocks (authorisation and supervision, indemnification and registration of space objects), are based on the international obligations found in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty in particular Article VI ( 2 ) that provides that the activities of non-governmental entities shall require authorisation and continuous supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Treaty, Article VII that provides that States are internationally liable for damage caused by objects launched into outer space by themselves and by private entities, and Article VIII that provides that States are bound to register space objects within national registry. This registration obligation, he added, can also be found under Article II of the 1975 Registration Convention . At this juncture, it can be seen that although there are four writers who have written on national space legislation, only Hermida and Gerhard have actually discussed with questions relating to the common features of the national space legislation. As such, from the recommendations that were made by Hermida and Gerhard, it can be concluded that they confirm that national space legislation should have compulsory regulations on licensing regime, regulations on registrations and regulations on liability. The other suggested additional provisions are persuasive on practical grounds, but it is argued that the inclusion of these additional provisions greatly depends on the space activities that a respective state would like to undertake or has undertaken. Therefore, the inclusion of the additional persuasive provisions is quite subjective in the sense that when a provision is incorporated into a particular State’s national space legislation it does not necessarily mean that it would be suitable to be incorporated into another state’s national space legislation.
From the nature of the works that have been written, it can be deduced that book writings referring to particular States starts late in 1980s and resumes again after the mid 1990s, and the writings about national space legislation starts to pick up after the year 2000. This shows that writers have become increasingly aware of the need to have a national space legislation to conduct space-related activities.
Articles in journals
In addition to books, there have been journal articles on outer space law written by many writers. In the early years, however, most article writers written on the general legal aspects of outer space. Thus, in 1958, Pitman wrote ‘International law of outer space’ for the American Journal of International Law . He discussed the delimitation of outer space and argued that outer space is the space outside the range of ‘aircraft’ or balloon flight, i.e. above thirty miles in elevation . Kartha wrote ‘Some legal problems concerning outer space’ for the Indian Journal of International Law , where he discussed the legal problems surrounding the usage and exploration of outer space. Hall wrote ‘Rescue and return of astronauts on earth and in outer space’ for the American Journal of International Law where he discussed the protection of astronauts as the envoy of humankind in outer space. He argued that astronauts must be assisted and protected at all times irrespective of the political ideology of the States that they represent . In 1979, Gorove discussed on the status of the geostationary orbit in ‘The geostationary orbit: Issues of law and policy’ for the American Journal of International Law , where he discussed the Bogotá Declaration , which emphasises that outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, which include the geostationary orbit, is not subject to any national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means . In 1980, Kopal wrote ‘The question of defining outer space’ for Journal of Space Law’ . He discussed the need to define outer space and the benefits that would arise from defining it and described the problem that shall arise if there was no precise definition . Therefore, from the writing of articles in this category, it can be seen that the writers only discussed on the general legal aspects of outer space without further discussing on the elements of national legislation.
Starting from the 1980s, article writers have significantly developed the interpretation of the international treaties on outer space law. A particularly significant contribution was made by Christol when he wrote ‘International liability for damage caused by space objects’ in the American Journal of International Law where he discussed States’ liability for their space objects that have caused damage to other States. He described the Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects 1972 in particular, where he explained the rights of States which suffered from damage caused by space objects and the responsibilities of States who inflicted the damage . In 1983, Cheng wrote ‘The legal status of outer space and relevant issues: Delimitation of outer space and definition of peaceful use’ in Journal of Space Law . He discussed the significance of defining outer space and the meaning and interpretation of the word ‘peaceful use’ of outer space as used by the five UN space treaties. He argued that in deciding the actual meaning of the word, States’ are bound by the principle that usage and exploration of outer space and celestial bodies must not result in causing harm and damage to other States . In 1984, Galloway took a more direct interest in the question of the functions of international institution when he wrote ‘International institutions to ensure peaceful uses of outer space’ in Annals of Air & Space Law . He discussed the purpose of international institutions in safeguarding outer space from misuse by States and argued that States must respect the decisions made by them in their attempt to ensure that outer space is used only for peaceful purposes, as enshrined by the UN space treaties, and not otherwise . In 1993, Masson-Zwaan wrote ‘The Martin Marietta Case-On how to safeguard private commercial space activities’ in Air & Space Law . She discussed on the evolution of private entities participation in space activities and maintained that States are internationally liable for the activities of their private entities. Elaborating on the responsibilities of private entities in their space activities, she argued that although private entities are allowed to use and explore outer space, they must nevertheless ensure that their activities must not resulted in their States breaching their obligations imposed upon them by the five UN space treaties . Cheng on the other hand was interested in the launching activities specifically when he wrote ‘International responsibility and liability for launch activities’ for Air & Space Law . He discussed the Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects 1972 and maintained that States parties have the responsibility to ensure that their launching activities is in accordance with the Convention and if accident happens, they will be liable against the injured parties . In 2004, Zhao wrote ‘The 1972 Liability Convention: time for revision?’ in Space Policy . He questioned the effectiveness of the Convention and argued that although the Convention provides for the basis for responsibility and liability concerning outer space activities, nevertheless, because of the advancement in space technology, the Convention should be revised accordingly . In 2005, Vikari wrote ‘Time is of the essence: Making space law more effective’ for Space Policy .She discussed the UN space treaties and commented that international treaty negotiations in general tend to be time consuming. Pointing to the space law negotiations in particular, she argued that in order for space law to be more effective, they must be relevant to the existing time. As such, because space activities is developing very quickly, she advised that negotiations for a revised space law should be made quickly so that it would be able to cater for more sophisticated space activities . In 2006, Porras wrote ‘The “Common Heritage” of outer space: Equal benefits for most of mankind’ for California Western International Law Journal . He elaborated the Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies 1979 and maintained that the use and exploration of the moon must be for the purpose of benefiting all States irrespective of their economic background. Discussing on the term ‘common heritage’, he recognised that many States are not agreeable to its usage and its definition, thus made a suggestion on how to overcome the problem . In 2007, Ma took a direct interest in international co-operation amongst States in their space activities when he wrote ‘Statement on international co-operation in the peaceful uses of outer space’ for Chinese Journal of International Law . He discussed the effectiveness of the UN space treaties and argued that States must co-operate with one another in their space activities so that they could maximise their resources and hence getting greater outcome . Therefore, from the writing of articles in this category, it can be seen that writers only elaborated and developed the interpretation of the international treaties on outer space law without further discussing the national legislation of States.
In addition to the above articles, there are also journal articles that are written specifically on space-related issues concerning particular State. However, they did not analyse the national legislation of these States when discussing the relevant legal issues relating to their activities in outer space. Thus, in 1989, Saito wrote ‘Japan's space policy background and outlook’ for Space Policy where he gave an insight into the legal and political aspect on the usages and explorations of the outer space that are undertaken by Japan . In 1992, Yoshida also discussed on Japan’s situation in regards of its space activities when he wrote ‘The meaning of Japan’s space commercialization efforts’ for Space Policy . He discussed on the development of space technology in Japan and the implications of commercialisation of space activities towards the politics and economic development of Japan . In 2004, Freeland wrote ‘When laws are not enough – The stalled development of an Australian space launch industry’ for University of Western Sydney Law Review .
He described the space activities in Australia, in particular the launching industry and argued that Australia could developed itself further in this area if all parties concerned are aware about its benefit and make more effort in establishing Australia’s reputation as a launching State . Verheugen on the other hand was interested in the space activities of European countries when he wrote ‘Europe’s space plans and opportunities for cooperation’ for Space Policy . Elaborating on the space activities of the European countries, he recognised the need for European countries to co-operate with one another since they will benefit more in space activities when they do so . In 2006, Sadeh wrote ‘Management dynamics of NASA's human spaceflight programs’ for Space Policy 116 . He discussed the administration of NASA and the future of its human spaceflight programme. Recognising the benefits of the programme, he commented that it would be more successful if the administration of NASA were improved117. In 2007, Spall wrote ‘Creating a UK human spaceflight capability: A modest proposal’ for Space Policy . He described the space activities of the UK and argued that UK would benefit more if it includes a human spaceflight programme as one of its national space activities. Acknowledging the differences in opinion on the necessity of such programme, he maintained that due to the rapid development of space technology, the human spaceflight programme would be to the advantage of the UK . In 2007, Murthi, Gopalakrishnan and Datta wrote ‘Legal environmentfor spaceactivities’ for Current Science . They discussed the development of space policies and activities of India and argued that India would benefit more from its space activities if it were to have national space legislation . Noichim on the hand was interested in the space activities of the ASEAN countries when he wrote ‘Promoting ASEAN space cooperation’ for Space Policy . He elaborated the space activities of ASEAN countries and argued the importance and benefits of international co-operation amongst them in pursuing in their space activities . Therefore, from the writing of articles in this category, it can be seen that writers only discussed the space-related issues of States concerned, without further discussing the national space legislation of those States.
Treatments of national space legislation have nevertheless been written by some writers. There are eight writers that can be identified as having contributed in this field. In 1981, Vereshchetin wrote ‘International space law and domestic law: problems of interrelations’ for Journal of Space Law . He argued that national space legislation which was enacted by States active in outer space activities are the result of the 1962 United Nations General Assembly Resolution on the Declaration of Legal Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, and the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies 1967 (1967 Outer Space Treaty), and therefore must be considered in the light of the rules . In 1989, Meredith wrote ‘A comparative analysis of United States domestic licensing regimes for private commercial space activities’ for International Institute of Space Law . He discussed the national space legislation of the USA pertaining to its commercial space activities and made comparison between them in an attempt to find their effectiveness. He wrote on the similarities and difference between them and articulated that in order for the legislation to be beneficial and effective, they must incorporate provisions that are relevant to the activities . Lyall on the other hand was interested in the UK’s national space legislation when he wrote ‘UK Space Law’ for International Institute of Space Law . He discussed the UK’s national space legislation, the Outer Space Act 1986, and gave his interpretation of the provisions contained therein. On issue regarding its usefulness, he recognised that the legislation is an important tool to regulate the space activities of private entities who are subjected to the UK’s jurisdiction and also maintained that the legislation is beneficial to the UK government because it protects the government through the indemnification provision provided by the legislation . In 2002, Frans G von der Dunk and Sergei Negoda wrote ‘Ukrainian national space law from an international perspective’ for Space Policy . They discussed the political historical events that lead towards the development of Ukraine national space legislation and argued that the main reason for the Ukraine to have national space legislation is for the purpose of demonstrating a responsible attitude to the international security system. They maintained that through having national space legislation, Ukraine has harmonised its legislation with the international space law and thus able to provide clear guidelines for the legal regulation of its commercial space activities . At this juncture, it can be seen that writers under this category discussed the national space legislation. However, their discussion are mainly concerned with the description or elaboration of the national space legislation itself without further discussing the basic common features of national space legislation. Lyall, for example, although he discussed the national space legislation of the UK, did not discuss the key components that should be incorporated into the national space legislation. As for Frans G von der Dunk and Sergei Negoda, although they discussed the Ukraine national space legislation and even pointed out its strength in its potential ability to provide clear guidelines for its commercial space activities, they did not discuss the common basic elements that should contain in national space legislation nor make any suggestion as to whether the provisions in the Ukraine space legislation is suitable to be adopted by other States. Therefore, it was not possible to see the actual strengths or weaknesses of the existing laws with regard to their implementation of the key international obligations placed upon these States under international law. However, in 2001, Reif provide the most detailed and thoughtful analysis of how national law should implement key elements of international space law when she made a report entitled ‘Shaping a legal framework for the commercial use of outer space: recommendations and conclusions from Project 2001’ for Space Policy . In the article, she reported that during the workshop of the Project 2001, recommendations have been made by experts in space law regarding the provisions that should be incorporated into national space legislation. She reported that during the projects, basing on the content of international law, experts have recommended three compulsory ‘building block’ provisions that should be incorporated into national space legislation, namely the regulations on the authorisation and supervision of space activities, regulations on the registration of space objects, and indemnification provisions .In addition to these recommendations, experts have recommended that national space legislation should also be enacted in accordance to a State’s international obligations . On the methodology of national space legislation, Reif also reported that the outcome of the project also recommended that the existing national space legislation of other countries could be used as examples when enacting the national space legislation . In addition to Reif, Hobe and Neuman also provide a thoughtful analysis of how national space law should implement elements of international space law when they made a report entitled ‘Report on the Global and European challenges for space law’ for Space Policy . In the article, they reported that during the International symposium on ‘Global and European Challenges for Air and Space Law at the Edge of the 21st Century’ which took place in 2005, discussions and recommendations have been made by experts in air and space law regarding the importance of national space laws and common provisions that should be incorporated into them, especially among the European countries. They confirmed that national space legislation has become ever more important in the light of privatisation because even if the private entities were the ones to cause damage through their space activities, their States would still be liable internationally, irrespective of whether or not domestic space legislation is in place. Thus they argued that by having national space legislation, States concerned could seek for indemnification from private entities that caused the damage. In the attempt to create national space legislation, they maintained that the international and national space legislation should be closely harmonised. However, recognising the fact that conflict would occur among private entities, especially on issues pertaining to the level of competency of States in dealing and regulating space-related activities, they proposed that in addition to suggesting the European countries’ national space laws to be closely harmonised with international legal standards, the national space laws should also be harmonised amongst these countries. In finding for common provisions that should be incorporated into national space laws, they deliberated on the question of whether other laws concerning hazardous activities, in particular air-flight activities, could be made as a model for legislating space law. Drawing analogies with air-flight activities and after finding similar features between air law and space law, they therefore confirmed that air law is relevant especially on provisions concerning definitions of outer space, registration and liability . Therefore, from the writings under this category, it can be seen that although there are eight writers who have written on national space legislation, only Reif, Hobe and Neumann have actually written on questions relating to the common features of the national space legislation. Through their report, it can be concluded that national space legislation should have compulsory regulations on licensing regime, regulations on registrations and regulations on liability. More importantly, national space legislation should be enacted in accordance to a State’s international obligations, and in drafting up the national space legislation, the existing national space legislation of other countries could be used as examples.
As for the literature about outer space law written by Malaysian authors, only two articles have been written on outer space law. However, although these articles have been written from the Malaysian perspective, they are merely discussions of the relationship between Malaysia and the law of outer space, and the law of outer space per se , but not on Malaysia’s national space legislation itself. Thus, Tunku discussed the issue pertaining to the domain of space law, its definition, Malaysia’s rights and responsibilities over activities in outer space, and made a recommendation for Malaysia to have national space legislation . However, in her article, she did not have any discussion about Malaysia’s national space legislation itself. Munir and Mohd Yasin on the other hand discussed the issue pertaining to the provisions on space debris and their effect on the environment in outer space and on earth, the definition of space debris, facts and figures of space debris that are in orbit, the effect of space debris, some proposed solutions and recommendations at both the national and international level on how to reduce space debris, and the adoption of laws and policies with respect to reduction of space debris and protection of the environment from damage caused by space debris by the intergovernmental organisations . However, in their article, the writers made no discussion about Malaysia’s national space legislation itself or the relationship between space debris and Malaysia. Therefore, as far as the literature review of the Malaysia’s national space legislation is concerned, there is nothing that has been written pertaining to this subject matter.
As a conclusion, from the review of relevant literature about how national law should implement international space law, we can conclude that there are certain key elements that one would anticipate finding in an outer space regulatory framework. They can be referred to as ‘compulsory elements’, and they are:
Regulations on the authorisation and supervision of space activities,
Regulations on the registration of space objects and
It is also apparent that implementation of space law should give rise to national space legislation which has certain desirable characteristics. Thus national space legislation should:
Be comprehensive in scope and comprise the regulation of all space activities,
Clearly identify space policy objectives which conform to international obligations,
Provide straightforward licensing regime.
However, although one of the key international obligations for States as provided by the outer space treaties is for them to cooperate internationally with others when participating in their space-related activities, on the other hand, from the literature review conducted in this article, we can see that without giving any reason the experts in space law did not make a recommendation as to the incorporation of the provision on the encouragement of international cooperation.
Be that as it may, combining the key international obligations as established in the outer space treaties and the recommendations made by space law experts as established in this article as to the compulsory provisions that should be incorporated into national space legislation, they can provide as an analytical framework for evaluating whether national regulatory frameworks properly implement international space law. Thus, such a national regulatory framework should contain the following provisions:
Provisions that allow States to authorise and supervise the activities that those under States’ jurisdiction wish to undertake and to continue supervising the space activities that have been undertaken until they end. ( Authorisation and Supervision ),
Provisions that require States’ entities to be responsible towards the consequence of their activities ( Responsibility and Liability ),
Provisions that require States to register their space objects within their national registry ( Registration of Space Objects ) and
Provisions that require States to encourage international cooperation when States’ entities participate in space-related activities ( International Cooperation ). | aerospace |

Bush in 2001, the newspaper USA Today ran a souvenir edition for January 19-21, 2001. In this edition, the published a series of “Dear Mr. President” letters. I thought this was a good idea and late on evening just before the deadline for submission, I wrote the following letter. As the USA Today may do something similar for the inauguration of the next president, you may wish to be considering what advice you would offer to the new president about the importance of space to America.
“In 2003, during George W. Bush’s presidency, the USA will celebrate the 100th anniversary of flight.
“From the Wright brothers’ first flights at Kitty Hawk, N.C., and Dayton, Ohio, to the Apollo 11 flight by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to the moon fewer than 70 years later, the rapid advancement of aerospace technology represents one of our nation’s greatest achievements. These advancements substantially shaped our nation and the world during the 20th century through worldwide transportation and communications.
“Previous presidents have established national goals that guided the nation in building infrastructure critical to its future: George Washington with the national road; Abraham Lincoln with the transcontinental railroad; Theodore Roosevelt with the Panama Canal; Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt with the Hoover and Grand Coulee dams; and Dwight Eisenhower with the interstate highway system. Such infrastructure building, as we are now witnessing with the Internet, is an essential element of our nation’s economic and technological world leadership.
“Forty years ago this coming May, barely three weeks after the first American suborbital flight by Alan Shepard, President Kennedy transformed the fledgling American space program with his bold Apollo initiative. He set clear, challenging goals for the American aerospace community that established perhaps the greatest legacy of his presidency.
“Now, at the dawn, of the new century, Bush should fire the imaginations and ambitions of our youth and all Americans — not just with an Apollo-style space program, but with the bolder vision of a true spacefaring nation as well. This would realize the full potential of the revolution of flight that the Wright brothers began in their bicycle shop in Dayton and on the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk. It also would set the stage for the 21st century as the era of space flight, with the USA clearly leading the way.”
World circumstances following September 11, 2001 did not favor President Bush undertaking such a bold initiative. In its place, we have only the Apollo-like Vision for Space Exploration with a plan to return humans to the moon as a scientific expedition with no follow-up. An opportunity was lost with the administration of President Bush. We must now turn our attention to the next president so that the opportunity is not again lost.
Corrective note: Legislation for the national road was begun under President Jefferson, not President Washington. | aerospace |

WASHINGTON Just hours after a Navy missile interceptor struck a dying spy satellite orbiting 130 miles over the Pacific Ocean, a senior military officer expressed high confidence early Thursday that a tank filled with toxic rocket fuel had been breached.
Video of the unusual operation showed the missile leaving a bright trail as it streaked toward the satellite, and then a flash, a fireball, a plume and a cloud as the interceptor, at a minimum, appeared to have found its target, a satellite that went dead shortly after being launched in 2006.
"We're very confident that we hit the satellite," said Gen. James E. Cartwright of the Marines, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "We also have a high degree of confidence that we got the tank."
General Cartwright cautioned that despite visual and spectral evidence that the hydrazine rocket fuel had been dispersed, it could take 24 to 48 hours before the Pentagon could announce with full confidence that the mission was a success. Even so, he said the military had 80 to 90 percent confidence the fuel tank was breached.
The fuel tank aboard the satellite was believed strong enough to survive the fiery re-entry through the atmosphere, and officials expressed concerns that the toxic fuel could pose a hazard to populated areas.
General Cartwright said debris from the strike, with individual pieces no larger than a football, already had begun to re-enter the atmosphere. Most, he said, was predicted to fall into the ocean.
Even so, the State Department was alerting American embassies around the world so they could keep their host governments informed, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency had put out instructions to first responders across the United States about steps to take should hazardous debris fall in populated areas.
The first international reaction came from China, where the government objected on Thursday to the American missile strike, warning that the United States Navy's action could threaten security in outer space.
Liu Jianchao, the Chinese foreign ministry's spokesman, said at a news conference in Beijing that the United States should also share data promptly about what will become of the remaining pieces of the satellite, which are expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and mostly burn up in the next two days.
"China is continuously following closely the possible harm caused by the U.S. action to outer space security and relevant countries," Mr. Liu said, according to the Associated Press. "China requests the U.S. to fulfill its international obligations in real earnest and provide to the international community necessary information and relevant data in a timely and prompt way so that relevant countries can take precautions."
American officials were critical of China last year for using an anti-satellite weapon to destroy a satellite in a much higher orbit in January 2007 and then refusing to confirm the test for nearly two weeks. The Chinese test produced 1,600 pieces of debris that are expected to orbit the Earth for years, preventing other spacecraft from using the same or similar orbits.
During a Pentagon news conference Thursday morning, General Cartwright rebuffed those who said the mission was, at least in part, organized to showcase American missile defense or anti-satellite capabilities.
He said the missile itself had to be reconfigured from its task of tracking and hitting an adversary's warhead to instead find a cold, tumbling satellite. "This was a one-time modification," General Cartwright said.
Sensors from the American missile defense system were an important part of this mission, though, he said.
He stressed that "the intent here was to preserve human life," but also acknowledged that "the technical degree of difficulty was significant" and the accomplishment earned cheers from personnel in command centers across the military, as well.
Completing a mission in which an interceptor designed for missile defense was used for the first time to attack a satellite, the Lake Erie, an Aegis-class cruiser, fired a single missile just before 10:30 p.m. Eastern time, and the missile hit the satellite as it traveled at more than 17,000 miles per hour, the Pentagon said in its official announcement.
"A network of land-, air-, sea- and spaced-based sensors confirms that the U.S. military intercepted a nonfunctioning National Reconnaissance Office satellite which was in its final orbits before entering the Earth's atmosphere," the statement said.
By early Wednesday, three Navy warships were in position in the Pacific Ocean to launch the interceptors and to track the mission.

Because how can the Navy be sure it can shoot down the real thing if it doesn’t practice on fake ones, first?
Cruise missiles – which don’t get all the attention given their ballistic brethren – can be far more troublesome. Unlike ballistic missiles, which tend to follow a predictable path through the heavens,moncler sale, where they can be easily detected against an empty sky, cruise missiles tend to skim, and maneuver, just above the waves. That makes them far tougher to detect and destroy.
“The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland hereby requests market and technology information on industry’s existing and potential capabilities to provide a cost effective aerial target system to simulate subsonic anti-ship cruise missiles that operate in the high subsonic regime and other air platforms,” the Navy says. “This aerial target system will be used to support developmental and operational testing of Naval combat systems while providing services in support of advanced fleet training.”
The fake enemy cruise missile should be capable of being launched from shore,http://www.ultramarinepigments.net/page/cheapmonclerjackets.html, sea or air, and operated with a preloaded flight plan or remotely by a human. “Preference is for a recoverable air vehicle with watertight compartments for carrying internal electronic payloads, as well as the ability to carry fixed and deployable stores from the air vehicle’s wingtips,” the Navy says.
You can glean just how challenging they can be by checking out the characteristics the Navy wants for its fake enemy missiles:
Waves: up to four feet high.
Speed: 0.95 Mach,moncler jackets, just below the speed of sound; about 700 miles an hour.
Missile altitude above four-foot high waves: 79 inches.
Maneuverability: up to 8 Gs (the Air Force’s F-16 can pull up to 9Gs)
Range: up to 400 nautical miles.
Number of flights per target: 30
Cost per flight: $9,500.
The Defense Department’s most recent report on Beijing’s military says:
Anti-Ship Cruise Missiles: The PLA Navy is deploying the domestically-produced, ship-launched YJ-62 ASCM; the Russian SS-N-22/SUNBURN supersonic ASCM, which is fitted on China’s SOVREMENNY-class DDGs acquired from Russia; and the Russian SS-N-27B/SIZZLER supersonic ASCM on China’s Russian-built KILO SS. It has, or is acquiring, nearly a dozen ASCM variants,moncler jackets sale, ranging from the 1950s-era CSS-N-2 to the modern Russian-made SS-N-22 and SS-N-27B. China is working to develop a domestically-built supersonic cruise missile capability. The pace of ASCM research, development, and production has accelerated over the past decade.

One is to obtain a glider pilot license, and the other is to win all student soaring competitions that are held annually.
Junior members aim to build basic flight skills through flight training with alumni instructors. First solo flight is the most important process for first-year students. In general, after sixty to eighty flights with an instructor, first-year students can fly a glider without an instructor. Second-year students acquire flight skills to become glider pilots and accumulate solo flight experiences. In addition to flight training, junior members aim to acquire the knowledge necessary for flight and soaring, for example, aerodynamics, meteorology, aviation law and so on. Junior members that have completed determined flight training and studies obtain a glider pilot license. Our first goal is that all our team members obtain the license.
Third-year students aim to improve their soaring skills, attain more altitude using thermals, and also learn many operation skills for the team. Fourth-year senior students participate in student soaring competitions and take full management responsibility for the team. Some students obtain an instructor license in their third or fourth year to coach the team. In soaring competitions, junior members take part as the team staff/crew. Our second goal is to win all student soaring competitions that are held annually.
During flight training camps, we usually stay at a boarding house near the glider port for three to seven days. We wake up at six o’clock, go to the glider port at seven, and conduct our flight training until sunset. We aim to efficiently increase the number of flights and guarantee safety at the same time. We usually have sixty to ninety flights as a team per day.

The History of Our Club
Since 1930, aviation activities of university students proceeded under the “Japan Student Aviation League (JSAL)” organized and managed by the Asahi Newspaper Company. Students who aspired to the sky joined through their alma mater (Keio as well), and enjoyed flying both powered airplanes and gliders. Unfortunately, due to World War II, these activities were forced to be suspended.
After the war, student aviation resumed purely as a sport. Several years later, universities such as Keio, Waseda and Hosei came to provide their own gliders such as the Primary and the Secondary gliders. However, among these universities, only Keio decided to build a high performance dual-seat type “Soarer”, searching worldwide for an updated training system. In addition, each club began to train their own instructors. In this way, student aviation developed steadily over the years. The most memorable moments in our initial years was the accomplishment of the Mita-I “Kawanishi-Go”. This glider, which we built, broke the Japanese record of the highest altitude gain. In the following years, we have made numerous successful flights, which will be described later.
Today, we are constantly developing our activities constructively and creatively. We are also striving for victory in numerous competitions and championships such as “All-Japan Student Gliding Championship”, “All-Japan Students Mountain Gliding Championship”, “All-Japan Freshman Students Gliding Competition”, “Tokyo Six-University Gliding Competition”, and the “Keio-Waseda Gliding Match”.
Record of Victory
Team victory 13
Individual 20 (1983-2019)

The History of Student Aviation
The history of student aviation in Japan began around 1930, with the establishment of the “Japan Student Aviation League” consisting of eight universities at first. At the beginning of the 1930s, gliders were introduced to student aviation, increasing their awareness in Japan. Many students gained interest in gliders, and the first All-Japan Student Gliding Championship was held in 1934.
However, due to the outbreak of World War II, what started as a hobby turned into a training organization for aircraft crews. Also, student aviation activities were completely prohibited by the government. It was a difficult period for student aviation. After the war, students were able to purely enjoy gliders as a sport and hold annual competitions. Currently, the Japan Student Aviation League consists of 59 colleges/universities, 719 students, and 270 instructors. Moreover, the league has been designated as a training facility for glider pilots by the government. Therefore, students are able to obtain a glider pilot license through the activity of the league.
Keio Soaring Club takes part in 5 competitions a year. Every competition is supported by the Japan Student Aviation League, which means our opponents are mainly gliding clubs from other universities. Our team train daily to be successful in all 5 competitions, and we have carried out victory in all of these competitions a number of times in our history of 100 years.
As with most glider competitions, we compete over the travel distance, and the speed with which a pilot completes an aerial route. We have 5 sets of “Tasks”, which involves flying around a series of pre-set turning points.
For example, Task 27 has a total distance of 27km. The 3 tasks are Task 24, Task 27, Task 39, with the numbers indicating the distance of flight (km). 4 out of the 5 annual competitions are based on the travelling distance, followed by the time taken to complete it. On the other hand, The Freshman Competition is mainly for second year students, where we compete our level of control in a two-seater glider. An instructor is seated behind and marks each category.
Details of each Competition
The Tokyo Six-University Gliding Competition is participated by six universities that form a league and compete in other sports as well. The Kanto Region Student Gliding Competition is a competition for universities located in eastern Japan. The Keio-Waseda Match is “the Varsity match” between the two most prestigious private universities in Japan. Lastly, the All-Japan Student Gliding Championship is the largest and the final competition of the year. As it is a nationwide competition, student gliding clubs throughout Japan gather at Menuma Glider Port.
As stated earlier, our ultimate goal is to hold all 5 titles from these championships. | aerospace |

Iran says it has launched its first ever missile into space
Also In The News
Labour chairman Hazel Blears has announced her candidacy for the role of deputy leader of the party.
Sunday, 25, Feb 2007 01:23
An Iranian rocket has succeeded in reaching space, an official said today.
Aerospace research centre official Mohsen Bahrami announced that the test flight had been launched successfully in a brief announcement on state-run television.
Few details were given about the launch. Dr Bahrami said that Iran's science and technology and defence ministries contributed to the aerospace centre's project.
Iran's defence minister was quoted by an Iranian newspaper that Iran's government wanted to develop its space capacity by "becoming a member of the space club", according to the Reuters news agency.
Today's announcement comes amid continued defiance from Iran's senior leaders about the country's development of nuclear technology.
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday said his country would defend its nuclear programme "to the bitter end", continuing insistent affirmations of Iran's right to develop nuclear technology unhindered by the western world.
Members of the United Nations have imposed sanctions on Iran over its refusal to stop developing atomic technology because of fears that Iran secretly plans to create a nuclear arsenal.
On Friday the Economist newspaper alleged that the US government wanted to expand its controversial 'Son of Star Wars' missile programme to sites within Europe, including in Britain.
The defence system's missile-interceptors would detect and block a nuclear attack from states like North Korea or Iran were they to ever launch an attack on the west.
Iran has said it wants to develop its communications network by launching satellites into space through its own technology. Previous Iranian satellites have been launched with Russian assistance. | aerospace |

Whether it's organizing lines for outdoor events or regulating foot traffic in museums or stores, our room dividers often come in handy for elegantly sectioning off areas. Versare partitions make perfect museum and exhibition partitions due to their ease of portability and range of setup uses. NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland researches, develops, and tests experimental technology for space studies and exploration. Their laboratories create some of the most cutting-edge spaceflight technology. The Space Simulation facility, where they perform space flight simulations, was recently having an open-house event inviting the public to see firsthand how the center works. NASA came to Versare with the hopes of partitioning off the public from the valuable equipment while maintaining visibility and order for the tour group. Our recommendation were several Room Divider 360s in clear polycarbonate. The versatility of the Room Divider's 360º hinge allowed the partitions to encircle certain areas, while the clear polycarbonate panels provided some visibility and light permeation. The starstruck onlookers were able to tour the awe-inspiring area without trouble thanks to Versare exhibition partitions! "We use the clear polycarbonate partitions to shield our facility hardware form the public during NASA Glenn Research Center's 75th Anniversary Open House, for which we had a crowd of approximately 30,000 visitors!" says NASA's Mary L. | aerospace |

Interestingly, the speed of sound in air depends on the temperature, but not the pressure, of the air. The formula for the speed of sound, a, depends on the medium and the temperature of the medium, according to the formula,
a = sqrt(γRT), where
γ = ratio of specific heats (1.4 for air at STP)
R = gas constant (286 m²/s�/K for air)
T = absolute temperature (273.15+°C)
At 60,000', the temperature is about -56.5�C, so T=216.65�K, so a=sqrt(1.4*286*273.15) = 294.53 m/s = 1060.3 km/h = 658.84 mph
Sticking with meters and seconds, Mach15 = 15*294.53 = 4418 m/s, which is the air speed.
Assuming the air rotates more or less with the Earth (that is, neglecting the effect of winds), then the actual velocity of the jet is increased or reduced by the rotation of the earth, depending on whether the jet is flying toward the East or West, respectively. Hold that thought. We'll get back to it shortly.
The "fictitious" centrifugal force, F, acting on an object in a rotating frame of reference, is given by
F = mΩ²r,
where Ω is the angular velocity, in radians (which are unitless) per second. The apparent centrifugal acceleration is
a = F/m = Ω�r
If v is the velocity of an object moving in a circle, and r is the radius of the circle, then Ω=v/r, so
a = Ω�r = v�/r
The radius of the earth is about 6,378,100 m, and then 60,000 feet is about 18,288 m, so the radius of the orbiting jet is r=6,396,388 m, and mach 15, v = 4418 m/s.
The air at 60,000 feet is rotating around the earth once every 24 hours (or 86400 seconds), and so its velocity is 6396388*2*π/86400 = 465 m/s near the equator.
So if the jet is flying toward the east, its velocity is as much as 4418+465=4483 m/s. And if it's flying toward the west, its velocity is 4418-465=3953 m/s. So, depending on which way it's flying, and how close to the equator it is.
aE = v�/r = 4883�/6396388 = 3.73 m/s� flying toward the East near the equator, or
aW = v�/r = 3953�/6396388 = 2.44 m/s� flying toward the West near the equator.
By convention, the acceleration of gravity at sea level is taken to be 9.80665, and it varies inversely as the square of the distance from the center of the earth, so the gravitational acceleration at 60,000 feet is
g' = 9.80665*(6378100/6396388)² = 9.75
The feeling of gravity aboard David's plane, if it's flying toward the East, is g'-aE = 9.75-3.73 = 6.02 m/s�, which is more than 38% less than g. But if it's flying toward the West, the feeling of gravity is g'-aW = 9.75-2.44 = 7.31 m/s�, which is only about 25% less than g.
If the jet is flying in some other direction, or farther from the equator, then the feeling of gravity will be somewhere between 0.62 and 0.75 g's
