It is my last year as a middle school student and then I move up to high school.
I’ve thought about what I want for my career goals after college, and I’ve decided that I want to go into the Air Force. I want to become the best fighter pilot and helicopter pilot around,and retire and work for a airline.
To get into the Air Force I understand that I need good grades and to not have a criminal record. When I was in third grade I began to be interested in planes and helicopters and how they are able to fly. It astonished me how a heavy helicopter can fly in the air with thin rotor blades.
Once I make into the Air Force I want to become the best pilot, and be able to fly every plane and helicopter made.
When I get out of the Air Force I want to work for a airliner and fly around the world. Then earn enough money to buy my own plane and helicopter so I can fly anytime. I know it will be dangerous but I’m wiling to do it so I can fly. | aerospace |

It was a busy time for me with health recovery but, interestingly enough, it was a busy time in the space world.
As you are all aware, we just passed the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing. We had a fascinating talk at our local library in Scarriff by retired Bell Engineer, John Kelly, who was the manufacturing manager for the ascent engine on the Lunar module. The issues that were critical for his team were getting perfect welds and pumps and valves as there was only one chance and failure would leave the astronauts to die on the moon. The fact they succeeded was a testament to very skilled people who would not accept failure. That said, John didn’t see any reason so go back. One woman asked when we would have space cities. John’s reply was it is cold and dark and dangerous and there are a lot better places to go on Earth. My own experience working on advanced technology projects pretty much confirms this. Space is a really dangerous place and I am more than happy to send out robots until we really figure out how to tackle manned space travel.
The main problem with the US Apollo program was its motivation, which was to beat the Soviets. There was no backing for anything beyond that and the Apollo 11 through 17 missions (except for 13) which landed crews on the lunar surface, lost public interest and support. Astronauts really didn’t establish much beyond determining how dangerous and challenging the lunar environment was so there was no worthwhile goal found. The program was disbanded and spacecraft engineers found themselves unemployed. I was, in fact, one of the first new hires that Lockheed Missiles and Space took on in 1979. The people whom I worked for had all worked on aspects of the NASA space program, and I can’t say that they seemed overly enthusiastic, many dying in their 50’s from overwork and stress.
When I joined, my generation, born at the start of the space age, had dreams of L5 orbital colonies, solar power satellites and trips to Mars. None of these panned out of course, as any of them would have taken significant investment and resources. Funding never emerged and the small $18B NASA budget, dwarfed by the $1,000B Military budget, to this day is only sufficient for some robot exploration and maintaining the ISS (without actually doing anything useful) and some advanced technology efforts. Every time a new administration announced a new program, no money was added and then it was cancelled by the next administration who wanted something different, again without spending money.
This doesn’t mean the space program is dead. The NASA guys are doing amazing robotic missions which are returning vast amounts of scientific data (unlike manned missions which bring back very few) and continue to impress and amaze with asteroid missions, Pluto and Mercury flybys etc.
The big action in manned space is really outside the US these days. The Chinese just landed on the far side of the moon and are working on their third iteration of space station. The Russians have a serious plan to send people to the moon starting in 2025. The Indians have just launched a lunar mission which has a lander and other advanced technology. NASA and Roscosmos have both announced Lunar orbiting space stations but my bet is on the Russians and Chinese (which is a theme in my stories).
I suspect like so many other NASA initiatives, the NASA/ESA Lunary Gateway will look better in simulation than actual missions - for two main reasons. First, the main thrust of the US space program has always been the military and intelligence communities with a total budget at least 5 times the NASA budget; in addition the classified programs do not share any technology with NASA so it lags behind. Second, the US political system has not historically supported the multiyear funding required for actual progress in the manned program unlike the military which gets more money each year without any arguments.
So the smart money is on the Eurasian initiatives getting to the Moon. Keep an eye for steady progress. | aerospace |

In many ways, the key to the perfect aviation video all boils down to a single word: detail. Whether you’re planning on shooting a model airplane as it takes to the skies or a massive jetliner filled with hundreds of passengers, it’s the little details that paint the type of vivid picture that viewers love to see. From the texture on the paint to the tint on the window, you need to focus on the whole package. In order to create the best possible aviation video, you need to think of it a bit like you would landscape videography. Only instead of shooting something like a deer in its natural environment, your subject just happens to be one of the pinnacles of human achievement. You want to make sure you’re focused on the motion, the striking imagery and the sheer sense of scope required to create the immersive experience viewers are after in the first place. | aerospace |

Astronaut Senator John Glenn used Think Pad laptops on his spaceflight mission STS-95 in 1998.
Laptops used aboard the space shuttle and International Space Station feature safety and operational improvements for the weightless environment they must operate in.
Think Pads have received a somewhat cult following and a small but loyal fanbase throughout the years.
Think Pad laptops have been used in space and, by 2003, were the only laptops certified for use on the International Space Station.
The task of making a notebook was given to the Yamato Facility in Japan and it was led by Arimasa Naitoh, a Japanese man who joined IBM in the 1970s and is now dubbed the "father" of Think Pad.
In April 1992, IBM announced the first Think Pad tablet computer at a news conference.
In addition to giving it an innovative name, IBM marketed the Think Pad through imaginative activities such as early customer pilot programs, numerous pre-launch announcements, and an extensive loaner program designed to showcase the product's strengths and weaknesses.
NASA purchased more than 500 Think Pad 750 laptops for flight qualification, software development, and crew training.
The first Think Pad tablet, a Pen Point-based device formally known as the IBM 2521 Think Pad, was positioned as a developer's release.
The Think Pad tablet became available for purchase by the general public in October of the same year.
The first Think Pad notebook (700C) announced in 1992 was the first new product to emerge from the IBM "differentiated product personality" strategy resulting from a collaboration between Sapper and Tom Hardy, head of the corporate IBM Design Program.
Development of the 700C also involved a close working relationship between Sapper and Kazuhiko Yamazaki, lead notebook designer at IBM's Yamato Design Center in Japan and liaison between Sapper and Yamato engineering.
and the respective teams at IBM and later Lenovo, which included Yamazaki, Tom Takahashi, Sam Lucente and, since 1995, David Hill, Vice President of User Experience & Design, who leads and manages the design/user experience of Think Pad. | aerospace |

June 2020, Bon-en-Chablais, France: The SmartCo smart connector system from Nicomatic, the leading manufacturer of high performance interconnect systems, brings in-built intelligence to aircraft electrical wiring interconnection systems (EWIS) and reduces aircraft downtime by solving the problem of fault-finding in aircraft electrical cable runs.
The EWIS is the backbone of complex systems in modern aircraft and is subject to the same harsh environmental and operational conditions as other aircraft systems. Detecting and tracing faults in aircraft electrical cable runs is time-consuming, frustrating, costly, and the cause of disruption to flight schedules. Nicomatic and the CEA LIST Institute collaborated to jointly develop Orthogonal Multi-tone Time Domain Reflectometry (OMTDR) technology that enables network analysis and sensor intelligence to be distributed in the EWIS without impacting network traffic. Distributed analysis enables complex networks to be analysed, solving the problem of fault ambiguity as diagnosis information from several sensors can be aggregated. Integrating OMTDR into an aircraft wiring harness by embedding it into SmartCo aerospace connectors adds an “always on” distributed wire diagnosis and sensor communication system in real time to the EWIS.
In a further collaboration, Nicomatic and the ECA Group integrated OMTDR into a portable all-in-one electrical troubleshooting test tool, theElectrical Ground Support Equipment (E-GSE) TC50 e-tool. The TC-50 is a multi-function tool in a case that simplifies wire troubleshooting and testing. Validated on most popular aeronautic cable types, it plugs into a wire network and measures voltage/current/resistance, checks phase order, tests diodes, tests insulation and thermal imaging. The TC-50’s user interface is web-enabled for access on the included rugged smartphone or any mobile device.
Using the TC-50 with Nicomatic’s SmartCo reflectometry technology provides precise wire-fault localization, enabling quick diagnosis and thereby minimizing aircraft ground time. The Wire Fault Localization feature enables the detection and localization of faults such as open- and short-circuits and the measurement of impedance variations with an accuracy of 0.1% across a cable length of 1m to 100m.
Phil McDavitt, Managing Director, Nicomatic Ltd. comments: “SmartCo connectors bring in-built intelligence and capability to commercial aerospace connectors, and together with the TC50-eTool, deliver a unique off-the-shelf tool for all generic electrical tasks for maintenance, repair, overhaul, diagnosis and troubleshooting of electrical systems and equipment in aircraft.” | aerospace |

The global aviation industry is growing at an unprecedented rate, recording substantial number of production volumes of military and commercial aircraft fleet. In the past few years, the commercial aircraft fleet has seen tremendous growth due to the influx of new low-cost carriers (LCCs) and fleet expansion strategies adopted by the full-service carriers (FSCs). Commercial aviation industry is predicted to upsurge in the near future due to the rising air travel passengers and aircraft procurement. Air passenger traffic in North America, Europe, and APAC: has been surging with time, which is compelling the demand for commercial aircraft.
In 2020, orders and deliveries of aircraft experienced a downfall due to global pandemic, which led to halt in the deliveries. Due to the surging production volumes to bridge the gap between demand and supply of aircraft, the OEMs are procuring large volumes of aircraft wires and cables. At present, the demand for wide body and narrow body aircraft fleet is high. However, the inclination toward long-range, narrow body type is increasing as the most of commercial aviation companies are focusing on increasing fleet size along with lowering operational costs. The tremendous rise in the procurement of aircraft wires and cables by aircraft giants such as Boeing and Airbus is a crucial factor driving the market for the same.

Aviation and aerospace are two of the pioneering sectors for additive manufacturing. These sectors are characterized by small batch sizes and manufacturer-specific adaptations. At the same time, these products are renowned for having very long life cycles (for example, components may be used in passenger aircraft for more than 30 years) and extremely high safety requirements. High levels of thermal or mechanical loading, especially during take-off and landing or if there is air turbulence, are one of the special features of the requirements profiles for most components.
The aerospace spectrum
The sector consists of manufacturers of spacecraft and rockets, manufacturers of military and civilian aircraft, helicopter manufacturers, manufacturers of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and jet engine manufacturers. The sector is regarded as a driver of innovation and an outstanding growth market for additive manufacturing. In terms of its future prospects, industry experts consider the potential growth for this industry to be very high.
Applications and materials in the aerospace industry
Functional parts with sophisticated geometries and defined aero-dynamic or fluid-dynamic properties can be manufactured very quickly and cost-efficiently using the powerful laser melting machines from Concept Laser. They include fuel systems, guide blades and rotor blades, attachment systems and special heat protection components. Parts for engines and turbines, rocket elements, test vehicles and high-quality components for equipping the cabin and cockpit (interior) are other typical applications. A disproportionately large number of high-performance materials such as Inconel 718, CobaltChrome superalloy, titanium and titanium alloys are used.
Freedom of geometry and bionics in the aerospace industry enable production of parts with improved performance
The level of affinity that the aerospace sector has with additive manufacturing is demonstrated in particular in the great flexibility of the process: The resulting potential often cannot be delivered using conventional techniques. For example, it is now possible to produce complex parts in one manufacturing step (one shot). Previously it was simply impossible to manufacture these components, or they could only be assembled laboriously with great effort from lots of individual components.
In addition, bionic designs that are suitable for the process enable the aircraft manufacturers to significantly boost performance: They enable higher loads to be withstood and thus ensure a greater level of safety. The basis for this is provided by special procedural characteristics such as manufacturing with selective densities and an optimized topology. The machines from Concept Laser also offer the appropriate tools for quality assurance and monitoring which also instantly provide the valid data while the part is being created.
Lightweight construction and functional integration: weight reduction in the aerospace industry
Bionically constructed components do not just produce a surprising visual result. Bionically designed lightweight parts are able, with the same load requirements, to be manufactured to be on average 20 - 30% lighter than milled or cast components. In some cases, the potential weight reduction is in fact as much as 60 - 80%, for example if rectangular metal blocks are transformed into pure connecting structures.
What is more, it is possible to integrate additional functions into the component which the previous parts were unable to deliver. To this extent, as well as the time saving there is also the additional benefit of a functional enhancement to the component.
Reduction in costs and toolless fabrication
The commercial aspects of the 3D printing method compared to conventional methods of molding and machining are also appreciated in the aerospace industry. This means that components can be manufactured in one piece or one shot. On the one hand this reduces the outlay on assembly (both time and costs), but on the other hand it also reduces stresses in the part and therefore possible weak spots.
As no lead times and costs for the preparation and long-term operation of tools are incurred, the cost structure and the availability of parts from toolless manufacturing are shown to be disparately better. Special factors play a role given the fact that an aircraft is expected to have a useful service life or more than 30 years: independence from tooling operators, the option to modify geometries during the life cycle or manufacture spare parts “on demand,” to ensure prompt availability and reduce overhaul times.
Traditional arguments in favor of additive manufacturing are of course also unmanned manufacturing (24h/7-day option) and significant savings on material resources or in the outlay on the process. Not least there is a very considerable reduction in the development times. Experience has shown that it is possible to shorten the timespan for a development project from several months to less than 30 days. These significant improvements have a very positive effect on the cost structure, coupled with faster availability (time to market) and greater flexibility.
Resource-conserving fabrication: “Green Technology” in the aerospace industry
For developers working in the aerospace industry, weight savings always provide a compelling argument when it comes to optimizing the fuel consumption without compromising on the safety requirements.
LaserCUSING® is a “Green Technology” and improves the much-quoted ecological footprint in aerospace manufacturing. Embracing the four particular aspects of lightweight construction, toolless manufacturing, decentralized manufacturing and manufacturing “on demand,” laser melting makes a real contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions.
An additive manufacturing strategy also offers the combined package of conserving resources, great economic efficiency and quality standards in the aerospace industry. When aircraft parts are milled, up to 95% recyclable waste is produced whereas the laser melting process produces a part whose level of recyclable waste is only around 5 - 10%.
Prompt, decentralized production “on demand” are also outstanding and striking strengths of this process. It results in an economic/ecological balance which traditional methods are unable to offer at this level.
Supply of replacement parts in the aerospace industry: prompt, local and on demand
In the future, it will be possible to manufacture replacement parts locally and close to where they will be used “on demand,” and to do so without using any tools. In the case of a routine replacement or component failure, the replacement part can be manufactured directly on site. Decentralized production networks may be established – global and regional strategies are possible. This means that transport routes and above all the delivery times can be minimized. As a consequence, the downtimes and overhaul periods required for maintenance of the aircraft are reduced. Large stocks of replacement parts containing rarely used parts, which are essential nowadays in view of the long lifespans that aircraft models enjoy, can be reduced significantly. A reduced tie-up of capital increases the level of flexibility and above all the time taken to obtain safety-critical components. In view of the pressure on costs in the aviation sector, the logistics component is particularly appealing.
General advantages of additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry
The general plus points of additive manufacturing in the aerospace industry include:
- Great potential for lightweight construction (high strength figures coupled with a reduction in weight of around 40 - 60%)
- Implementation of bionic designs with improved performance criteria
- Optional functional integration (e.g. cooling) or integral design
- Manufacture of the components in one shot, i.e. reduction in the outlay on assembly and weak spots
- No waste as with traditional machining methods (“buy to fly ratio” of around 90%)
- Contribution to achieving the industry’s sustainability targets: reduction in fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions
- Rapid and local availability, including “production on demand”
- Prompt fabrication without the use of tools (no up-front costs and tooling costs for tools)
- Unmanned production 24h/day
- Time to market – shorter development times (less than 30 days rather than several months)
- Faster overhaul cycles (greater availability of aircraft)
- Overall improvement in cost structure and economies of scale
- Maximum reproducibility of the components
- High level of precision and consistently high quality of the components
- Retrofit option and/or partial refurbishing

The recently announced effort will help to revolutionize the air transportation industry by tackling one of its largest challenges – rising fuel costs.
The center will be based at Washington State University and will bring together researchers from 16 academic institutions including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, among others. The research team will also benefit from the expertise of 26 federal government and airline industry partners including companies like Boeing, Delta Airlines and General Electric to name just a few.
By aiming to significantly advance the use of cost-competitive “drop in” aviation biofuel, the effort will support the FAA’s target of deploying one billion gallons of alternative jet fuel by 2018.
Perhaps, the most promising element of the center’s work is that it will approach its research from a regional perspective; taking into account biological materials, and the needs of different hubs, in varying regions across the country. This strategic approach is important given that the top 40 U.S. airports use approximately 90 percent of America’s jet fuel. More | aerospace |

An Air Transport Licence is issued as authorisation to airlines to provide scheduled and non-scheduled services.
It is one of the licences received by airlines before they can commence operation just as they await the all-important Air Operator Certificate that fully guarantees them the right to begin air services.
The issuance of an ATL to Nigeria Air today will be coming four years after the branding and livery of the new airline was unveiled by the Federal Government during the Farnborough Air Show in London.
Sources at the Federal Ministry of Aviation told The Punch that the issuance of an ATL to the carrier on today was to ensure that the airline commences operations in a couple of months.
Recall that in July 2018, the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, unveiled the branding and livery for Nigeria Air in London and stated that the airline would be inaugurated at the end of that year. But this did not happen.
Since then there had been several efforts to get the proposed new airline running, as interim management was created recently to drive the process for the full establishment of the carrier.
“The NCAA will on Monday, June 2022 present the Air Transport License to the interim management of the Nigeria Air, Nigeria’s national carrier,” a senior official at the FMA, who pleaded not to be named due to lack of authorisation, said.
The official added, “The ATL will be presented at the NCAA corporate headquarters at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,” as the source noted that this was sequel to an earlier application by Nigeria Air where it requested for an ATL from the civil aviation regulator.
In late March this year, Nigeria Air Limited announced that it had applied to the NCAA for a licence to operate scheduled and non-scheduled passenger and cargo services.
It disclosed this in a public notice and explained that this was part of the requirements for granting an Air Operating Licence.
Sirika had said, “The transitional adviser is going to request for proposal next week Monday. The government will own five per cent, Nigerians will own 46 per cent and the international partner airlines will take 49 per cent shares.” | aerospace |

Press TV — Kavoshgar 4 (Explorer 4) is planned to take a 120-kilometer course and carry out studies on solar and galaxy radiations, as well as astronomical and meteorological studies, Fazeli said. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled Kavoshgar 4 (Explorer 4) and three other national satellites on Monday on the occasion of the Ten Days of Dawn celebrations.
Four national satellites — Fajr (Dawn), Rasad (Observation), Amirkabir I, Zafar (Victory) and the Kavoshgar 4 (Explorer 4) satellite carrier — were unveiled on Monday in presence of Ahmadinejad and Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi. Iran launched its first domestically-produced satellite, Omid (hope), into orbit in 2009.
The Omid data-processing satellite was designed to circle the Earth 15 times every 24 hours and to transmit data via two frequency bands and eight antennas to an Iranian space station. | aerospace |

In this article I want to discuss whether or not the shuttle proved me right or wrong with goal achievement theory…
I have written many many times, and will do so many times more(!), that a key element of goal achievement is to study how others achieved the goal before you. The idea is that your goal will have probably been achieved by others, so if you then investigate the steps taken by those that went before, you’ll have a good starting plan to follow.
After all, it’s not likely that you are the first to ever set a particular goal, right? Er, well maybe not!
The space shuttle mission is a perfect example of doing something that had indeed never been done before – the goal was to create a reusable spacecraft, capable of carrying heavy duty loads into space, land back to earth to be turned around and used again. So, does that prove me wrong..?
I don’t think it does, no, because the story highlights the value of other key elements of goal achievement, like taking action, trying something new, learning lessons, keeping focus, etc.
The main problem with the original idea of the shuttle was not putting it into space – NASA had done that many times. The problem was getting it back to earth in a reusable state. Previous rockets had used a protective shield against the heat of re-entry which burnt off during the descent. That was effective, but was a one-off solution, and only used on small capsules just big enough for a few astronauts.
The shuttle would need something much bigger, and which didn’t ruin the vehicle. It took years of trial and error, but the engineers came up with a silica based shield which absorbed heat really slowly. The next problem came from the fact that the shield cracked too easily, like a dry riverbed.
The engineers came up with a creative solution, which was to ‘pre crack’ the shield, so came up with small tiles, 25,000 of them in fact, covering the bottom of the shuttle.
So even with such an ambitious goal, the elements of the formula can be seen – taking action to see if something works, trying something different when it didn’t, and being persistent until the result was found.
Another key element is to ask for information, because the more information you have the better. It’s also important to not be closed to differing opinions – that can put an end to your goal, and it’s a lesson which ultimately did end the shuttle.
In both shuttle disasters, Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 1993, NASA was culpable of being too stubborn. Even though they had systems set up to provide vital information, a choice was made to ignore that information with tragic results.
After the Columbia accident, President Bush decided that the shuttle programme would end after the completion of the international space station.
If you look up into the sky at the right time, you can see the space station from the earth, and that stands as a testament to what the shuttle achieved. Or you can see the shuttles in a museum. Or you can go online to see the pictures that the shuttle-delivered Hubble telescope gives us.
Any of those things will serve as reminders of the lessons of good and bad goal achievement from the space shuttle, which I think show that when it comes to goal achievement, rather than proving me wrong the space shuttle proved me right!

A sounding rocket or rocketsonde sometimes called a research rocket, is an instrument-carrying rocket designed to take measurements and perform scientific experiments during its sub-orbital flight. The rockets are used to carry instruments from 48 to 145 km (30 to 90 miles) above the surface of the Earth, the altitude generally between weather balloons and satellites; the maximum altitude for balloons is about 40 km (25 miles) and the minimum for satellites is approximately 121 km (75 miles).

And, there are lots of industries in which to lead, but I want to suggest one that might be close to the pinnacle, Flight Director at NASA. Talk about tough! You’re corralling, pilots, engineers, doctors, researchers, countless technicians, and an ocean of support staff, all around the completion of a mission taking place in the harshest conditions known to man. Add to that that there are lives in the balance, and you have one of the most stressful leadership environments on the planet. Their success is based on their ability to work the problems they face as they arise.
Steely-Eyed Missile Man
Perhaps the most famous of these stellar leaders was Gene Kranz. They said he defined the tough and competent model that created the highest compliment given to mission folks and he was a steely-eyed missile man!
Kranz was the flight director on Gemini missions and then, as the space program transitioned, he moved to the fabled Apollo program. He directed Apollo 11’s mission to the moon as well as Apollo 17, our last manned exploration of our moon. He also guided STS-51-L, the shuttle mission that repaired the Hubble Space Telescope giving us a peek into creation.
Kranz was perhaps most famous for leading the teams that brought safely home the astronauts of the trouble-plagued Apollo 13 mission.
Apollo 13 experienced what seemed to be an insurmountable series of problems. One disaster after another piled up, each with numerous problems to be solved. As the lives of the three astronauts were clinging to a seemingly unsolvable situation, Kranz directed his team through setback after setback. Each trouble represented a new challenge. He did this by utilizing a leader’s most critical skill set – FOCUS. He chanted WORK THE PROBLEM after each obstacle. WORK THE PROBLEM. He warned; “don’t make it worse by guessing.” Let’s make sure we have a firm understanding of what’s going on and when we have that in hand; WORK THE PROBLEM. Many of the problems he faced were cursed with complex puzzles, but Kranz knew he could only get through them one piece at a time.
The Benefits of Experience
Kranz knew what he was doing. He had been there at the Apollo 1 disaster when three astronauts lost their lives in an explosive fire during ground testing of the capsule. “We didn’t do our job. We rolled the dice and hoped things would come together by launch day. In our hearts, we were just hoping for a miracle.” Instead, it was a gut-wrenching heartbreaking disaster.
Kranz never let his focus waver – WORK THE PROBLEM.
Andy Weir’s fantastic novel, The Martian, and the equally wonderful Ridley Scott film of the same name is all about this three-word mantra – WORK THE PROBLEM.
Mar’s astronaut, Mark Whatley, was stranded alone on the red planet. Every decision he had to make revolved around WORKING THE PROBLEM. At the end of the film he told a group of NASA student astronauts;
“You begin. You do the math. You solve one problem, then the next one and then the next one. If you solve enough problems, you get to come home.”
How to Work the Problem
The formula is elegantly simple:
- Define the problem so there is understanding. State it out loud. Sketch it out so you can see it.
- Break it into pieces if you need to.
- WORK THE PROBLEM.
Stay focused. Lead your teams. WORK THE PROBLEM!

Growing up as a kid I would gobble up just about anything related to space. Every chance I could get I would go look through a telescope (eventually my own) and gaze at the planets and the stars. I never imagined that one day I would play a very small part in "planetary" exploration history...sending a probe to visit the last (planet, as it was called when I was a kid) yet unexplored by mankind.
My small part in the mission was three-fold. As a flight design engineer for NASA's Launch Services Program I helped out with the NASA certification of the then new Atlas V fleet of launch vehicles. We had a couple of exciting missions coming up that would require this new vehicle (MRO a Mars orbiter and Pluto New Horizons). The other role I played in the Pluto mission was on launch day. I was "NASA Winds" for the actual launch, but for this launch this meant I was out in Denver in the "Winds Room" where they actually receive the upper-level atmospheric wind data from the weather balloons that are launched at Cape Canaveral, process the data and determine if the vehicle has the margins to fly through those wind profiles. It took a few launch attempts to actually get New Horizons off the ground due to scrubs from ground winds that were too high. My last connecting with the Pluto flyby is that 2 of my 3 kid's names are on that spacecraft zipping past the surface of Pluto. Before launch NASA put out a call to the public for anyone who would like their name included on a disk that was be carried on the spacecraft. At the time I only had two kids and their names (along with many others) are flying past Pluto right now. My youngest child, who just turned 10, wasn't born when this disk was made. That really drives it home for me just how much has changed in my life since we blasted this tiny little spacecraft on it's way from Earth all those years ago.
Now we wait. The images of Pluto have been taken and stored on-board the spacecraft. Several of those images are scheduled to immediately be sent back to Earth, but it takes about 4 hours at that distance going the speed of light for the images to be received. So in just a few hours (late morning July 14th 2015 eastern time) we will received those very first images from New Horizon's flyby of Pluto. It will then take many days and many weeks for us to get all the rest of the data from that flyby and it will take months and years to totally process it all. So we have a lot of scientific discovery yet to come long after we get those first few images back.
If you want to see a detailed timeline of exactly what the Pluto New Horizon's spacecraft is doing right now you can see this at the APL website. You can also see exactly where the spacecraft is right now and even "re-wind" back in time to see how the spacecraft approached and flew by the dwarf planet using this JPL web browser based view called Eyes on the Solar System.
In the mean time, enjoy the last image of Pluto we received just before the flyby and wait anxiously with the rest of the planet for the 1st of the flyby images to come back to Earth in just a few hours... | aerospace |

If you want to discover the truth, ask those who have lost.
This term belongs to the mathematician Abraham Wald. Initially, it was applied to the damages on Allied aircraft during World War II.
The losses of the aircraft were catastrophic – a single well-placed hit could turn a combat machine into a pile of wreckage. However, it was not possible to armor the planes too heavily because they also needed to carry bombs. Therefore, choices had to be made.
Observing the returning bombers riddled with bullet holes, the command concluded that they should reinforce the parts of the fuselage that most closely resembled a sieve: the wings, the lower part of the fuselage, and the tail section – as it was evident that these areas were frequently hit.
Error of the survivors.
But Wald was the first to understand that this was a logical trap because the aircraft with those damages survived. The real threat was not the damages with which the planes returned home, but rather the damages that destroyed them – and those could not be studied. If an airplane can fly with a bullet hole in the wing, then attention should be focused on areas where there are no holes – perhaps precisely because they were not hit, the crew was able to return alive.
What prevented the military from making this simple conclusion on their own? It was quite simple – the destroyed planes remained on the battlefield and, consequently, were excluded from the analysis.
“The error of the survivors” is a principle that can be applied to any sphere of life. “Those who survive” are those who have achieved maximum success in their endeavors. They attract general attention, and people want to listen to or read about them. But all of them have returned to their airfields. To study and emulate their strengths is akin to studying the planes that survived… | aerospace |

Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, and been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft. The secret to Col. Hadfield's success-and survival-is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst-and enjoy every moment of it.
In An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Col. Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks, and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement-and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counterintuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff. | aerospace |

The asteroid sprayed space rocks across the sand that have been analyzed thoroughly. It is believed that the space rocks that came out of the asteroid are diamonds that were formed over a billion years ago that were created from a forming planet that has now been destroyed. Researchers estimate that the size of the planet would be in between Mercury and Mars. The space rocks also referred to as meteorites contained compounds that are very similar to diamonds found on Earth. Minerals in the meteorites included chromite, iron-nickel sulphides and phosphate. This new discovery of the diamonds is the first instant that components of diamonds have been found in an extra-terrestrial body. The findings of the researchers have been published in a new study of those involved. (READ MORE)

|A Jordanian company has won a tender to manufacture 16 light surveillance planes for Iraq, beating European and American competitors, its president said Thursday.
Jordan Aerospace Industries (JAI) will produce the two-seater SAMA CH 2000, and train Iraqi pilots to fly them, Muayad al-Samaree told the Al-Rai daily.
The aircraft are fitted with instrument flight rating, which enables pilots to "fly blind." Iraq's air force will use them, among other things, to prevent sabotage at key installations, he said.
JAI, a private company, unveiled its first SAMA CH 2000 at the Dubai air show in December, becoming the first Arab firm to manufacture, assemble and service light aircraft in partnership with Canadian company Zenair.
The firm builds the body of the planes in Jordan, and imports the engines from Zenair facilities in Canada and the U.S.
JAI is expected to earn $12 million from the deal.
At the end of July, Jordan handed over to Iraq two light reconnaissance aircraft to be used for border surveillance.
The aircraft, SB7L-360 Seeker reconnaissance planes, are Australian-made and were assembled in Jordan by Seabir, a joint Jordanian-Australian venture set up in July 2003 that also won a contract to train 15 Iraqi pilots and technicians.

Preparations for a large-scale NATO air force exercise over parts of Germany have been completed, the country’s military said on Friday.
Lieutenant General Ingo Gerhartz, who serves as inspector of the air force, said at the Jagel airbase in northern Germany that “a total of 25 nations are ready to start this exercise on Monday.”
He said 190 fighters and 60 other types of aircraft would be involved in the operation, called Air Defender 2023.
“This unique deployment has been completed in less than a week,” Gerhartz said. “The different air forces have demonstrated that we can all react and act very quickly.”
He said the US Air Force alone had flown 1,500 tons of material into Germany in the past few days. “The redeployment has gone absolutely smoothly so far.”
The German-led exercise will last until June 23. It is the largest deployment exercise of air forces in NATO’s history. | aerospace |

It was specifically created to service emerging and insufficiently connected markets in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, with a collective population of over 3 billion people (hence the name O3b).
Cuba is well within its service coverage.
The only obstacle for this low-cost, fiber-speed satellite network to provide quick and easy connectivity to the Cuban people is the Castro regime.
However, it's not the only option available (without empowering Castro's domestic telecom monopoly, ETECSA).
Over the summer, Dr. Larry Press, a California State University Professor, who has long studied global diffusion of the Internet and has closely followed Cuba, posted various other satellite ("extra-terrestrial") options.
(Note: None of these are prohibited by U.S. sanctions law.)
Below is his post.
One thing is for sure, the worst thing the U.S. could do is allow telecom companies like AT&T to invest in Castro's monopoly, ETECSA. Similar foreign investments in the past have only proven to help the Cuban dictatorship.
Monopolies are bad in open, democratic societies; they are even worse in closed, totalitarian ones.
From Dr. Larry Press' CIS 471:
During the last couple decades, NGOs, governments and entrepreneurs have worked with four extra-terrestrial connectivity technologies:
1. High Altitude Platform
2. Low Earth Orbit Satellite
3. Medium Earth Orbit Satellite
4. Geostationary Satellite
Let's look at Google's projects in this context.
High altitude platforms (HAPs) are blimps, drones or balloons that hover or circulate in the stratosphere. They have cloudless access to solar energy and being above the weather helps with control, but their signals must travel through rain and clouds. They are the lowest flying technology, so packet latency is relatively small, but so is their "footprint" -- the area their signal covers on the ground.
The most visible HAP Internet effort has been that of Sanswire, which has run well-publicized tests for over a decade. Sanswire has gone through bankruptcy, announced projects in Latin America that never materialized and faced complaints by suppliers and employees, but they are still working on Internet connectivity.
Google has two HAP projects, Project Loon, using balloons and a drone project using technology from recently purchased Titan Aerospace. There have been reports of Google blimp trials, but I've not seen any details on those.
Most satellites -- like the Space Station and sensing satellites -- are in low Earth orbit (LEO). LEO satellites move relative to the ground, which means that either communication windows are intermittent or many satellites -- a "constellation" -- are needed to cover the planet.
The first LEO Internet project I know of was used for intermittent connectivity in Africa during the early 1990s. Shortly thereafter, a number of entrepreneurial LEO projects were announced. The most ambitious was Teledesic, which proposed Internet connectivity for the entire planet using a constellation of 288 satellites orbiting at 700 kilometers. Teledesic had high-profile backers like Bill Gates, Paul Allen and a Saudi prince, but the technology of the day was not up to the task and the company failed.
Today, the best-known LEO communication system is Iridium's satellite phone service, consisting of 66 LEO satellites. (Iridium was conceived by Motorola as an Internet project, but was scaled back to telephony, went bankrupt and reemerged as a phone service).
This week, Google acquired Skybox Imaging, a company that has put a LEO satellite in a 600 kilometer orbit. The company was formed for data gathering, for example for providing real time video and images of traffic on roads, the sea and in the air, environmental monitoring, or map and earth imaging.
This sort of imagery has both economic and military value, so it will provide Google both revenue and expertise in the short run. Might they be planning to parlay that into a constellation of Skybox communication satellites -- Teledesic II with modern technology -- in the long run?
Medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites are used for communication and navigation. Google recently announced a project with O3b Networks (other three billion). O3b currently has four satellites in 8,000 kilometer equatorial orbits and they plan to launch four more this year. They say those eight satellites will enable them to offer continuous service to all parts of the Earth within 45 degrees of the Equator.
The project with Google is headed by two O3b executives and they speak of spending billions dollars and putting at least 180 satellites in orbit. When they speak of 180 satellites, one wonders whether they are considering a LEO constellation.
Today's commercial satellite Internet connectivity is provided by geostationary satellites, which are positioned above the equator and remain stationary with respect to the surface of the earth since they orbit exactly once per day. Their orbit altitude enables multi-country footprints, but latency and launch costs are high.
Geostationary satellites have been used in rural areas and developing nations since the early days of the Internet, and the industry has remained viable as a result of technical progress in launch technology (public and private), antennas, solar power, radios and other electronics, as well as tuning of TCP/IP protocols to account for the 1/4 second latency due to the orbital altitude. (I've had surprisingly natural voice over IP conversations with people on geostationary satellite connections).
Have those technologies progressed to the point where HAPs and lower orbit satellites are now viable as well?
Google, along with Facebook, is a founding partner of Internet.org, which seeks "affordable internet access for the two thirds of the world not yet connected." Since the beginning years of the Internet, NGOs, government agencies and entrepreneurs has been working on the Grand Challenge of connecting developing nations. They have not succeeded, but Google, with improved technology, deep pockets, a long-range viewpoint and economic motivation (ads) may be able to pull it off. | aerospace |

In Moonfall, a mysterious force strikes the moon from its orbit around the earth and sends it to insult it on the path of collision with life as we know it. Just weeks before the collision and the world on the verge of extinction, NASA chief and former astronaut Joe Fowler is convinced he has the key to saving us all – but only one astronaut from his past, Brian Harper and conspiracy theorist Hausman, believes him. . These fantastic characters complete the impossible last mission in space, leaving behind everything they love, only to understand that the moon is not what we think.

- Meanwhile, the company won a first-stage contract from the National Intelligence Service as part of a broad announcement by the agency’s Strategic Commercial Enhancements.
- Shares in Kleos ended the day up 7.14 percent to close at 30 cents
Kleos Space (KSS) is preparing to launch its fourth satellite cluster, the Observer Mission (KSF3), following the successful completion of environmental testing phases.
The satellites have successfully completed the assembly and integration of the system
testing (SAIT), followed by system-level electrical and mechanical functionality testing, including environmental testing.
According to the company, each system was subjected to vibration, thermal and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests that ensure the functionality of the cluster after launch for the duration of the mission.
Cleos confirmed that the satellites will be deployed into a sun-synchronous orbit from the Space Force Station in Cape Canaveral, Florida, as part of SpaceX’s Transporter-6 mission, scheduled for Q4 2022.
In addition, it will increase Kleos’ data collection capacity by another 119 million square kilometers per day.
Meanwhile, the company was awarded a first-stage contract by the National Intelligence Office (NRO) under the Strategic Commercial Enhancements Broad Agency Announcement (SCE BAA) program.
The contract was awarded based on the analysis, modeling and simulation of Kleos’ capabilities to support the US Government’s current and future commercial radio frequency (RF) intelligence needs.
Although the company confirmed that the financial value of the first phase contract is insignificant, it believes that it will significantly affect the potential of Kleos in the future to supply the US government market.
“We are very proud to have won this contract with NRO and begin our planned path to growth with the Earth observation radio frequency data that the company has used for imagery for years,” said Chief Revenue Officer Eric von Eckartsberg.
“This research project represents a significant opportunity to help NROs evaluate the operational utility and decision-making of commercial RF GEOINT and understand how our unique dataset can be leveraged and integrated with NRO operational capabilities.”
Kleos shares ended the day up 7.14 percent to close at 30 cents. | aerospace |

The aircraft is already registered with the Civil Aviation Authority under the name G-CJWO and carries the military serial number BL688. The plane was operational during the Second World War, including in the infamous D Day operations.
Our experienced engineering team are methodically restoring the BL688 to flying condition with support from leading organisations in this field, including Prop shop Ltd. trading as the Aircraft Restoration Company, Historic Flying Ltd. at Duxford and Airframe Assemblies on the Isle of Wight. Alongside this, we are building a non-flying (static) example, the St Ives BL709. Both fuselages are being constructed in jigs in the main workshop with the wings for the static assembled in another building at Trelonk. On both flying and static models, we aim for the highest standard of integrity in our reconstructions.
A Spitfire takes approximately 25,000 skilled man hours to construct with suitably experienced staff meeting the criteria of the Civil Aviation Authority. The wings alone will require around 14,000 manhours per pair. Original designs, plans and drawings can be faded, damaged or otherwise hard to read. As with all things aviation, there is a process to be followed and the instruction books do not always exist. Pictures: our skilled engineers working on BL709
The flying BL688 will be able represent the ethos and expertise of the Parnall Aircraft Company at local events in Cornwall and further afield. The BL709 , however, destined for a location that reflects its history in St Ives, will remain static, with a visibly accurate although non-functional engine.

Existing studies on formation control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have not considered encircling targets where an optimum coverage of the target is required at all times. Such coverage plays a critical role in many real-world applications such as tracking hostile UAVs. This paper proposes a new path planning approach called the Flux Guided (FG) method, which generates collision-free trajectories for multiple UAVs while maximising the coverage of target(s). Our method enables UAVs to track directly toward a target whilst maintaining maximum coverage. Furthermore, multiple scattered targets can be tracked by scaling the formation during flight. FG is highly scalable since it only requires communication between sub-set of UAVs on the open boundary of the formation's surface. Experimental results further validate that FG generates UAV trajectories $1.5X shorter than previous work and that trajectory planning for 9 leader/follower UAVs to surround a target in two different scenarios only requires 0.52 seconds and 0.88 seconds, respectively. The resulting trajectories are suitable for robotic controls after time-optimal parameterisation; we demonstrate this using a 3d dynamic particle system that tracks the desired trajectories using a PID controller.

Authorities responded to the scene but were unable to locate the aircraft due to fog and drizzle in the area obstructing their view. Crews continued to search and eventually found the crash site on a “backcountry ridge” north of Conzelman Road, away from roads and trails.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the plane was a single-engine Vans RV-10 and crashed around noon.
RELATED: 75 Years Later, Here’s What We Know About a Mysterious Cold War Plane Crash at Marin Co.
The two people on board were pronounced dead at the scene. According to the Marin County Sheriff’s Office, they have been positively identified, but their identities will not be released at this time pending notification of next of kin.
At the time of the accident, there was heavy fog in the area, however, it has not been determined whether this was a factor in the accident.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced that they would investigate under the direction of the NTSB.
Late Friday night, the Golden Gate National Park Service tweeted that to help with the aircract Conzelman Road and McCullough Roads (Marin Headlands GG Bridge overlooks) will remain closed all day Saturday to vehicles and bicycles.

- Non-powered balloons had been around since the late nineteenth century. On September 24, 1852, a French engineer made the world's first-ever first powered flight. He flew 27 km (17 miles) in a steam-powered airship.
- In December 1902, Orville and Wilbur Wright started looking for an engine to power their experimental gliders. Weight was a critical concern. Local manufacturers couldn't provide what they were looking for, so they and their mechanic, Charlie Taylor, were forced to build their own. This engine powered their first flight on December 17, 1903.
Radials and Rotaries
- In the years following the Wrights' successful demonstration, new forms of engines were tried. These included the radial and the rotary engines.
- The turbocharger was an innovation that pushes compressed air into an engine, creating more power. It was invented by Swiss engineer Alfred Buchi, first used in WW I, and it is still a mainstay of modern propeller-powered aircraft.
- The first jet engine was designed in 1913 by Rene Lorin, but never built. Research on the concept continued through the 1920s and 1930s. On August 27, 1939--four days before the beginning of WW ii--the world's first jet plane, the Heinkel He-178, took flight for the first time. | aerospace |

AVBotz designs, builds, and competes with their AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). This year, AVBotz was proud to announce that they placed second in the autonomy challenge of RoboSub, a competition with 39 teams from across the globe. You can check out their video of the AUV Marlin passing through a gate, touching a buoy, dropping markers into a bin, and surfacing in the octagon. Read more about their success in the local news.
The Amador UAV team (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) also earned second place with their drone in the international Student Unmanned Aerial Systems Competition. This challenging competition required students to design, build and demonstrate a UAV capable of autonomous flight and navigation and would need to execute a specific set of tasks. Watch the video of their drone and read their story in the local news.
When AVBotz and Amador UAVs needed help machining parts for their robotic projects, DATRON Dynamics stepped up to help. Chris Hopkins, the Director of Technology, has been helping Amador robotics teams machine parts for their projects since 2015. Because Chris believes in doing more than just making parts and shipping them to the school, he invites the students to DATRON’s Livermore, California office to work alongside him. Chris thoroughly enjoys being a mentor for all CNC-related matters and encourages students to further their engineering education.
Chris and everyone at DATRON Dynamics are excited to see these talented young people accomplishing so much in the field of robotics. We support all STEM programs and are proud that Chris, and the company, have been able to support these next-gen automation engineers.

They saw a formation of five white lights flying in a "V" formation. Each light was shining brightly stright down. They resembled landing lights on a plane. He began trying to figure out what they were. He stated that "I have beeen flying for 29 years and I am not used to seeing anything in the sky that I cannot identify." At first he thought it might be Air Force fighters flying in formation, but he discarded that idea because they were flying too slow. He then realized that aircraft would not be flying with their landing lights pointing stright down anyhow. They were not helicopters with searchlights pointing downward because they made no noise. They were not flares. He stated that "I have seen flares both from the air and from the ground. These were not flares."
They both watched as the formation of lights passed silently
by and continued on in a south easterly direction toward Phoenix.

The original museum was created in 1999 but moved to its current site in 2012 and tells the history of Boscombe Down.
|Inside one of the hangers at the museum. There are several full aircraft and dozens of cockpit sections, many of which you can climb into (not me, too big!)|
|Meteor Mk D16 - This complete aircraft was used to chase target drones.|
|This Jaguar GR1 served in the RAF and the IAF before being used for explosives testing. It had now been largely restored.|
|A Hawker Sea Harrier. This one has a side panel removed to show the complex wiring running through the wall of the plane.|
|Auster AOP Mk 4/5. This aircraft was deployed in Normandy in 1944 and is being restored in its Overlord paint scheme.|
|A replica BE2B.|
|There is also an extensive model plane collection.|
This is a nice little museum although I would describe it as an enthusiasts museum, it helps if you know a lot about the exhibits on display. I like the hands on nature of the museum and most of the aircraft cockpits are open and, if your small enough, you can climb in a get a pilots eye view of the insides. Not a bad discovery, especially as it wasn't planned and was very much a happy accident coming across it.
Tomorrow I'm going back to Bovington Tank Museum while the girls do Monkey World just down the road (got to keep everyone happy). I'm looking forward to my visit, even though I have been here dozens of times. | aerospace |

A. JustJet is a broker for operators and we use multiple different charter operators to fly our passengers.
Q. Is the plane filled for jet shares?
A. Not always. It is fully understood that filling an aircraft is taking away the space you want when flying privately, therefore, for all flights where the aircraft is configured with sofas, only 1 person is seated on a two person sofa or 2 people on a three person sofa. This means that all customers are able to enjoy a spacious and relaxing flight.
Q. Is there a minimum number of passengers required for a jet share to fly?
A. Yes. However, the number is dependent on the flight and aircraft, this is due to the varying costs that need covering.
Q. What’s Included?
A. All our flights operate as a normal full fare charter guest would receive. This means that VIP lounges, Catering (subject to contract), beverages, snacks and magazines are all included. On some flights there will also be a flight attendant who will cater to your every need within reason.
Q. Who RECEIVES the payment?
A. Your payment goes direct to the charter firm. Once you have signed contracts sent by the operator, an invoice will be sent directly from the operator to the guest, who then pays the full amount.
Q. How’s it so cheap?
A. Due to the nature of empty legs, the operators don’t mind only covering costs on the flights, therefore, you are getting the flight for up to 80% off. | aerospace |

An airline pilot operates a plane's engines and controls to navigate and fly the vessel. He or she also checks hydraulic and engine systems for pre-flight safety and monitors fuel consumption and aircraft systems in-flight. Prospective pilots must satisfy a set number of flying hours and be in good physical and mental health to fly an airline carrier. Pilots must deal with possible hazards, such as jet lag, fatigue, and unfavorable weather conditions. However, they also might get to travel all over the world.

At the height of the Cold War, a new Soviet threat triggers a daring heist, and the stakes couldn’t be higher
'A defining novel of the genre and a lost classic' James Swallow
British and American intelligence services have just learned of the Soviet Union’s latest aircraft: the MiG-31.
Codenamed "Firefox", the plane is a marvel of engineering – stealthy, hypersonic, with a thought-guided weapons system – outclassing anything flown by the West. Faced with Soviet air domination, MI6 and the CIA launch a daring mission to steal a Firefox prototype.
Veteran US Air Force pilot Mitchell Gant, is sent to the Soviet Union under an assumed identity. He seems the perfect man for the job. But, deep within the icy heart of Soviet power, the stakes are overwhelming: fail this mission, and lose the war…
Blending Cold War espionage suspense with high-altitude aerial action, Firefox is the original and greatest techno-thriller, from million-copy bestselling author Craig Thomas. Perfect for fans of Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum.

Inspired by Swiss fighter aircraft and first made famous in the 60’s by celebrities like Frank Sinatra, the Learjet’s days will be coming to a close as Bombardier axes the smaller jet to allow the company to focus on the more larger and profitable Challenger and Global aircraft families.
From its first flight on 7th October 1963, the Learjet had been a favorite choice for private and business aviation, with members of the original Rat Pack frequently using the Learjet as a mode of transport to jet between glamorous locations.
Unfortunately for Learjet, as newer technologies developed and competition from brands like Embraer and Cessna increased, Learjet could not keep pace with the demand for faster flights and more cabin space.
Bombardier spokesman Mark Masluch noted, “Less equipped aircraft at smaller price points drove demand,” while a recent statement from Bombardier referenced a lack of profitability and the need for a cost-cutting plan as reason for ending of production and the subsequent reduction of its workforce by 1,600 positions.
“With more than 3,000 aircraft delivered since its entry-into-service in 1963, the iconic Learjet aircraft has had a remarkable and lasting impact on business aviation”, shared Eric Martel, Bombardier Jets President and CEO. “However, given the increasingly challenging market dynamics, we have made this difficult decision to end Learjet production.”
Now, after nearly 60 years, Bombardier will be calling it a day on the Learjet in Q4 later this year, but the company has revealed the Learjet headquarters in Wichita, Kansas will remain operational and be transformed into a support center for maintenance and upgrades of existing Learjet models.
Gulfstream Delivers Final G550 Jet To Customer
The final Gulfstream G550 business jet has been delivered to an international customer, marking an end of an era for the long-range commercial jet.
After almost 20 years, Gulfstream has delivered its final G550 commercial jet to an international customer.
Entering service in 2003 as a long-range business jet, the G550 has a range of 6,750 nautical miles (12,501 kilometers) at Mach 0.80 and has broken over 55 speed records during its time of service.
Launched as a commercial jet that could be configured for business, government, or military and seat up to 19 passengers, the G550 is a versatile jet that enables owners to fly between international destinations such as Shanghai to Los Angeles, New York to Dubai, or London to Tokyo.
The Gulfstream G550 also launched the PlaneView™ flight deck platform for the first time and led the way with the certified Enhanced Vision System (now known as the Enhanced Flight Vision System – EFVS) as a standard safety feature for pilot safety.
“For nearly two decades, the G550 has been exceeding customer expectations,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “The G550 set a new standard for performance and reliability and continues to outperform and impress with its wide-ranging capabilities. Given our vast G550 fleet in service, we look forward to continuing to support all G550 customers around the world with Gulfstream Customer Support’s extensive network.”
The final delivery, which took place at the end of June, brings the global fleet of Gulfstream G550’s in service to a total of 600 jets.
Aerion Supersonic Jets To Close Operations
Aerion Supersonic set to close operations after struggling to acquire further funding to produce its AS2 supersonic business jet.
Aerion Supersonic is reportedly set to close operations after failing to secure the considerable capital required to produce its AS2 business jet at its future $300 million planned facilities at Aerion Park, Florida.
Founded in 2004 with backing from Texan billionaire Robert Bass, Aerion Supersonic started as a solution to the 2003 retired Concorde and gained backing and support from organizations like Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, and NASA’s Langley Research Center.
Yet despite raising $11.2 billion in pre-sales, Aerion has struggled to gain the capital needed to bring it to market.
“The AS2 supersonic business jet program meets all market, technical, regulatory and sustainability requirements, and the market for a new supersonic segment of general aviation has been validated with $11.2 billion in sales backlog for the AS2,” reads the company statement, as stated by Florida Today.
“However, in the current financial environment, it has proven hugely challenging to close on the scheduled and necessary large new capital requirements to finalize the transition of the AS2 into production. Given these conditions, the Aerion Corporation is now taking the appropriate steps in consideration of this ongoing financial environment.”
As reported by CNBC in early 2020, Aerion Supersonic revealed it would need around $4 billion to continue developing the AS2 after already spending $1 billion on engine development.
Initially, Aerion Supersonic had intended to launch the 1,000-miles-per-hour jet by 2024 and begin commercial activities by 2026, producing 300 AS2 jets during the first decade of production.
Unless 11th-hour funding is secured, the future of Aerion Supersonic is set to remain indefinitely grounded.
Dassault Launches Falcon 10X With Largest Business Cabin Jet Yet
Dassault Aviation’s new Falcon 10X Business Jet is a high-speed ultra-long-range jet capable of flying non-stop from New York to Shanghai.
Dassault Aviation’s Falcon 10X Business Jet is a high-speed ultra-long-range jet featuring the largest and most comfortable cabin on a business jet yet.
Said to “deliver a level of comfort, versatility, and technology not yet seen” in terms of cabin size and comfort, the Falcon 10X is looking to rival the likes of the Gulfstream G700 and Bombardier’s Global 7500 when it goes into production end of 2025.
“The 10X will be more than just another big step forward in business aviation. It will be absolutely the best business jet available in the ultra-long-range category and will remain so for a long time,” shared Dassault Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier.
As the first Dassault business jet to be powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl engines, the new Dassault Falcon 10X can achieve a top speed of Mach 0.925 and, with a nautical mile range of 7,500, will be able to fly nonstop from New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, Hong Kong to New York or even Paris to Santiago.
Created as a “penthouse suite in the sky,” the Dassault Falcon 10X will offer greater modularity than any other aircraft in its class and a selection of multiple interior configurations.
The 10X is large enough to accommodate four-cabin zones of equal length, but owners can configure their cabin as they desire to create a living space to best suit their needs, including an expanded dining/conference area, a dedicated entertainment area with a large-screen monitor, a private stateroom with a queen-size bed or an enlarged master suite with a private stand-up shower.
“Today we are introducing a new benchmark in business aviation,” said Dassault Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. “The Falcon 10X will offer an unrivalled passenger experience over both short- and long-duration flights, along with breakthrough safety features from Dassault’s frontline fighter technology. We have optimized every aspect of the aircraft with the passenger in mind and established a new level of capability for ultra-long-range aircraft.” | aerospace |

As such it is generic, and not specific to this clinic.
As one approaches the exciting prospect of learning to fly an aircraft, one of the first areas of concern is often the fact that a medical examination will have to be completed. The purpose of this brief article is to address this examination, and perhaps demystify some of the concerns you may have had surrounding the whole issue of medical fitness to fly.
Since the start of aviation, it has been recognized that the flight environment makes special demands upon the human body. Medical examinations have been instituted from the very earliest days of aviation. These examinations have evolved, over decades, to form the medical standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization, to which Canada is a signatory. The medical standards that must be met by private or commercial pilots are thus international, and not merely a Canadian matter. Each member state of ICAO is allowed some latitude in interpreting the standards, but you will find them very similar around the world.
It is a common myth that one need be “super human” or in the pinnacle of physical condition in order to fly. Basically, one must be healthy. The exact standards are set out in the CARs, a copy of which may be found on the web via Transport Canada. I will assume, however, for the purposes of this article, that the Reader is not familiar with the CARs. The mechanics of the medical examination are as follows. Private pilots must hold a medical certificate entitled “category 3”, while commercial or airline transport licensed pilots must hold a medical certificate entitled “category 1”. The medical standards, and validity periods, for each of these categories are different. A category 4 medical is held by recreational pilots, and is obtained by filling out a self declaration form with any doctor, an aviation doctor is not necessary. Category 3 and category 1 medical certificates can only be obtained by undergoing a specified medical examination with one of the designated aviation medical examiners (AME). A list of Civil Aviation Medical Examiners is available on the web. These doctors have special training in aviation medicine, and performing the aviation medical examination. They will determine whether you meet the standards for either category 3 or category 1, and make a recommendation to Transport Canada, Civil Aviation Medicine, on your behalf. The final decision as to whether you meet standards, or not, rests with the Regional Aviation Medical Officer (RAMO).
Should you disagree with the decision, you have an opportunity to submit further medical information to the Aviation Medical Review Board for their consideration. Should you still be turned down, and disagree with this, you have a right to a public hearing at the Civil Aviation Tribunal.
Two minor items. Firstly, unlike a car, you may fly an airplane (dual) accompanied by a licensed pilot, without possessing any type of student pilot permit or medical certificate. The airplane is deemed, in this case, to be under the control of the licensed pilot. Thus, you may start your flight instruction at any time, before undergoing a medical examination. It will be necessary for you to hold a student private permit, and valid medical certificate, to solo. Secondly, these aviation medical examinations, are not covered by Medicare, and must be paid for by the pilot. Depending where you are in Canada these medical examination costs anywhere from $150 to $230 dollars. Tests, such as ECGs or audiograms, are extra.
Now, what are these medical standards you must meet?
Fundamentally, you must be healthy. The medical standards are described by body system. Covering the most common medical problems seen by aviation medical physicians, you must:
- Have adequate vision (glasses are permitted) better than 20/30. If you have had laser eye surgery you may still be licensed.
- Have adequate hearing (able to hear whispered speech at 6 m). If your hearing is not this good, there are practical tests which may be performed which will still permit you to be licensed, although you may be required to wear a headset when flying a radio equipped aircraft.
- Be free of any significant, ongoing illness which might result in impairment of consciousness or inability to operate the aircraft safely. It is possible to be licensed with a variety of illnesses, as long as those illnesses are under good control. The topic of medication often comes up. Medications are not permitted when they may have side effects or therapeutic effects which impair a pilot’s ability to operate the aircraft. An example would be narcotic pain-killers. Secondly, certain medications may not be impairing in and of themselves, but their use implies an underlying illness which would not permit the safe piloting of an aircraft. An example would be chemotherapy agents for the treatment of active cancer. Blood pressure must be adequately controlled, although medications are acceptable. A past history of significant heart disease, or lung disease, will be thoroughly investigated to ensure that the pilot has recovered adequately, and is now safe. It is possible to be licensed to fly an aircraft even after one has had a heart attack, provided certain criteria are met. Various handicaps such as missing limbs are also acceptable, provided the pilot is capable of moving all of the control surfaces of the aircraft through their full course of travel, and is capable of exiting the aircraft in an emergency. It may be necessary to be limited to certain, specially equipped, aircraft to permit handicapped pilots to fly.
Obviously, an article like this must be extremely general. Specific circumstances vary so much that the best advice for anyone contemplating flying lessons would be to complete a Transport Canada medical examination if they are in any doubt as to their fitness. Generally, your flight instructor can advise you, or put you in touch with someone such as an aviation medical examiner, who can give more specific advice in your case. Overall, Transport Canada, Civil Aviation Medicine, is anxious to see that anyone who desires to fly an aircraft, and is safe to do so, is allowed to exercise this privilege, and join the flying fraternity. If you have always held back because of health concerns, perhaps now is the time to reconsider, as things may be better than you thought! | aerospace |

Thanks to the high international standards, business policy, and services, the Air Pink is extending its market each year, and with the present fleet extension, operates to more than 450 airports throughout Europe, Eastern Europe, North Africa, Middle East, as well as several destinations in the United Arab Emirates.
High International Standards of the Air Pink Company Winning the Global Market
The Air Pink Company specializes in VIP and corporative – executive aviation services, offering a comprehensive flight experience for its passengers, offering, first and foremost, the international standard of service, through the safe and comfortable flight, with service tuned to the passengers’ preferences.
The Air Pink was founded under the Pink International Company in 2004. The Air Pink was founded by Zeljko Mitrovic, Pink Media Group President, and Aleksandar Ilic, Air Pink Managing Director. With the team of professional and enthusiastic pilots holding years of experience, the Air Pink had its first commercial flight with an aircraft, type Beech A60 – Duke. Soon after, a jet aircraft in the business aircraft class, Cessna Citation 2 type, had joined the fleet, with eight passenger seats available, improving the quality of transportation offered with even more comfortable passengers cabin and shorter flight duration. Next year, another Cessna Citation 2 aircraft was included in the company fleet, increasing the capacity of an offer for more clients/passengers. After 12 years of operation, the Air Pink presently has a fleet of business aircraft, five of which being Cessna XLS+ type.
Air Pink Fleet Extended by Three New Aircrafts
The Air Pink Company had extended its fleet with three new Cessna XLS+ aircraft. Cessna 560 XLS+, or simply XLS+ is a Business Jet class aircraft – business-type aircraft with the following commercial properties: maximum capacity of nine passengers with luggage and two pilots, range with four passengers approximately 1,722 nautical miles or 3,190 kilometers, range with eight passengers approximately 1,282 nautical miles or 2,370 kilometers; maximum flight level or flight altitude is 45,000 feet or 13,716 meters. Maximum cruise speed is approximately 431 knots or 800 kph.
Air Pink flight – a Unique Choice
Passenger Selects Date and Time of Flight and Departure
The leading advantage of flying with the Air Pink Company is that the client, passenger selects date of flight and time of departure, unlike the carriers using their fleet in regular air traffic or regular charter traffic, being bound to the set flight schedule with predefined date, i.e. day and timing of departure, which does not fit the needs of the majority of business aircraft users for multiple reasons, predominantly business-related, or if they take a leisure flight.
Catering Range – from Standard to Custom
In-flight services in the Air Pink Company business jet significantly differs having an available bar with a selection of beverages, spirits and meals, and the catering that ranges from standard to custom-designed for the passengers.
Internet and Satellite Phone during the Flight
The Air Pink passengers have the Internet connection and satellite phone during the flight.
Faster Passport and Security Check
Another benefit for the Air Pink passengers is being directed to special terminals for general aviation, where passport and security checks are performed faster, while they wait for boarding in special VIP premises, with refreshments available.
Air Pink Company Aircraft are Able to Use Shorter Runways in the Flight Market
The aircraft offered in the flight market by the Air Pink may land on shorter runways, operatively not accessible for the “big aviation” aircraft, being limited by the length of takeoff – landing track, thus avoiding connected flights at an airport to a smaller aircraft or using other modes of transportation such as cars to reach the desired destination.
Air Pink Users – Businesspersons from Major Global Companies and Corporations, along the World Renowned Celebrities
In past 12 years of operation in the business aviation market, the Air Pink had rendered its services to the clients from various fields of operation – from businesspersons from the major global companies and corporation, along with the most popular celebrities, public personas in various fields, movies, music, and sports.
Air Pink Your Personal Jet
The Air Pink Company prides itself with the flight safety level thanks to the high level of the Air Pink pilots’ training, their years of experience, adherence to the procedures prescribed by national civil aviation authorities, quality technical maintenance of the Air Pink aircraft, which is handled by the Sector for Aircraft Maintenance with professional, experienced engineers and mechanics.
This aspect of the industry, above any other, even the commercial effects that keep the Air Pink in a very complex, competitive market, along with the superior service, brings the passengers back to the Air Pink flights, as loyal clients of many years, being with the Air Pink Company from the very beginning, for more than a decade, while bringing the new clients whose requirements are being gladly met by the Air Pink Company making each flight an ultimately pleasant, personalized, unique flying experience, being one of the ideas behind the motto: “Air Pink, your personal Jet.” For more in details about the Air Pink Company, please visit: http://www.airpink.com | aerospace |

Astronaut Scott Kelly recently landed back on Earth after spending nearly a year on the International Space Station with Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko. The two men lived in outer space for 340 days — the longest continuous stay, according to the Los Angeles Times. In fact, Kelly has now spent a total of 520 days in space, more than any other U.S. astronaut.
That lengthy stay was the point of the mission. Kelly and his identical twin brother, former astronaut Mark Kelly (husband of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords), are part of a scientific experiment to study the effects of long-term exposure to outer space and its zero-gravity conditions. Mark stayed back on Earth while Scott was in space.
“As we prepare to go all the way to Mars in the decade of the 2030s, there's going to be a lot that we're going to have to learn,” Senator Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), a former astronaut who spent six days on the space shuttle Columbia in 1986, said in a statement.
Scott Kelly echoed that sentiment in an interview with NASA TV after he landed in Kazakhstan. “I think that expanding our envelope and our ability to operate is something that will take us further from the planet,” he said. “Developing technology to do so is very important for our economy and our way of life.”
During Kelly’s time in space, both brothers provided blood, saliva and urine samples, had ultrasounds and bone scans and even got flu shots, according to Fox News. Once Kelly returns to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, scientists will examine him and collect more samples.
Scientists already know some of the effects that microgravity has on the body. For example, in space, blood gets redistributed, with more accumulating in the upper half than in the lower extremities, according to the National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI). For this reason, astronauts usually have a puffy face while in space, and their legs are smaller in circumference.
Brinda Rana, PhD, a molecular geneticist at UC San Diego who is involved in two of the 10 research projects, told the LA Times there are more concerning health issues related to this fluid shift, including the raising of intracranial pressure, visual impairment and inflammation potentially linked to cardiovascular disease.

Powell Air Force Base
The facility opened in 1951 with a great deal of controversy. Many questioned why an Air Force base was necessary near the Kansas-Missouri border and because it was built as a training facility, its presence was even more unusual. Despite this, Powell has managed to remain open ever since.
The Air Force still maintains the facility despite dwindling crops of recruits arriving here for training. With the wave of military base closings in the 90’s, everyone figured that Powell was doomed. It continues to operate, however, even with the annual threats of its demise. Although Powell is listed as a training facility, it functions under a surprising level of secrecy for such a run-of-the mill task. Powell only has a small area of the base accessible to the general public, requiring an official parking sticker to be allowed inside. The only two publicly accessible gates are guarded twenty-four hours a day, and armed guards man the gates of classified areas.
The number of civilians employed by the base is very small in comparison to other facilities of a similar size, keeping Powell AFB and Potter’s Lake from developing the symbiotic relationship that infuses so many “military” towns. | aerospace |

World Affairs Council Dinner at the Space Shuttle Endeavour
The Endeavour was the fifth and final space worthy NASA space shuttle to be built, and first flew in May 1992 and its last mission was in May 2011. In 2012 the majestic high speed Space Shuttle Endeavour took its last flight and greeted all of LA as it flew above the City of Angels and then traveled at walking pace through the streets of LA to a cheering crowd as it journeyed to it’s final resting place at the California science center. If you missed the this historic event you may be interested in visiting the Endeavour at the California Science Center.
Earlier this year The Los Angeles World Affairs Council hosted a dinner at the Endeavour with guest speakers Garrett Reisman and Buzz Aldrin. The two astronauts were on fine form and were happy to answer questions and tell stories of their time in space. It was a fascinating and inspiring evening dining underneath the Endeavour while listening to the stories of Garrett and Buzz.

The ExoMars vehicle is intended to search the Red Planet for signs of past or present life.
The delay is the third for the mission originally planned to launch in 2011.
While the switch will disappoint many people, officials say the change will open up a greatly expanded programme of exploration at the Red Planet.
The European Space Agency (Esa) will now join forces at Mars with the US space agency (Nasa). The two organisations believe they can achieve far more by combining their expertise and budgets.
The basis for this approach was agreed at bilateral discussions in Plymouth, UK, last month.
Since then, scientists and engineers on both sides of the Atlantic have been working up the basic architecture for a series of missions in 2016, 2018 and 2020 (launch opportunities to Mars come up roughly every two years). | aerospace |

I came across some videos yesterday from astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, one relating to the shutdown of NASA and one containing the most astounding fact as he sees it. These are definitely worth checking out.
The first video, embedded above, relates back to a previous post of mine. He has a slightly different, and rather profound, outlook on life and the universe. It honestly moved me, and resonated in my core. Statements like this seem to be passed over by most people, who choose to not think of such things, as if it’ll make them depressed at best, and break their sanity at worst. I personally believe that after the initial fear of that, the effects such things have are life altering…in a good way.
The second video, embedded below, is about the underfunding of the NASA program over the years, and the dreams that have been cast to the wayside as a result of it being shut down. I, for one, was incredibly saddened by the end of NASA. It had a HUGE impact on me as a child.
When I was younger, I (of course) wanted to be an Astronaut. I loved everything to do with space and the universe. I was a member of Young Astronauts, and watched the movie Space Camp dozens of times. My friend around the block and I would then re-enact the movie (mostly just the piloting and space stuff), using his parent’s bed and his Atari 2600 as the space shuttle and controls. I knew so much about NASA and the space program, and I still look at it with fondness and wonder. I ended up abandoning that dream due to my inability to keep up with the work and my lack of Einstein genius.
Now, my son appears to be following in my footsteps, so to speak. He’s in love with all things space related, and I had virtually no part in that. It’s just something that appeals to him innately. What makes me even more sad than the space program ending, is the fact that my son will never know the wonder and joy that it inspired. The dreams and imagination it encouraged. I’ll do my best to show him what I can, but without a destination or goal, like going to space camp, I fear it may just fade away. Still, I’ll continue to dream that one day it’ll come back, and he’ll get the same amount of good from it as I did, if it still appeals to him… | aerospace |

calculate two components of satellites, namely altitude and velocity.
This lesson is comprised of two main problems. In each problem,
students work in groups and use algebraic thinking to determine
solutions to the problems posed. Suggested methods for solving these
problems are described in detail. The teacher is encouraged to
highlight alternative methods for solving the problems as discovered by
students, when appropriate.
Weather satellites are important for collecting data about Earth.
These unmanned spacecraft carry a variety of sensory equipment that
scans Earth and electronically communicates the data back to scientists
on Earth. Two types of environmental satellite systems named for their
orbital characteristics, geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites,
provide the data for scientists to study our environment.
Geostationary satellites orbit at a speed that enables them to
remain constantly over the same area of Earth. This position provides
constant "viewing" of a specific area of Earth. The Geostationary
Operational Environmental Satellites are an important system for the
United States. These satellites are maneuvered into orbits that ensure
constant coverage of the Western Hemisphere. They continually produce
infrared images, weather charts, ice charts, and other data important
to the study of the environment.
Polar-orbiting satellites operate in orbits that cause them to
pass almost over the poles of the Earth. Many of these satellites
operate in Sun-synchronous orbits. The Sun-synchronous orbits are
designed so that the satellite passes over the same terrain at the same
time each day. This orbital feature is important for the collection of
data about Earth.
To simplify the notion of orbits for middle school students, the
orbit discussed in these activities are assumed to be circular. The
orbital period is the time required to complete one orbit around Earth.
Engage the class in a large-group discussion about the satellite
images they see on local television news broadcasts. In the discussion,
help the students distinguish among animations of Shuttle missions,
photographs from the Space Shuttle, pictures from remote robotic
explorations such as Pathfinder on Mars, Hubble Space Telescope images,
and satellite photographs of Earth. If possible, obtain a videotape of
a television weather report of a fast-moving storm that has been
tracked and shown in nearly real time. If the videotape cannot be
obtained, ask students to recall watching such events on television.
(Alternatively, students can use Internet resources to find video
As part of the discussion, ask students to speculate how the
television station obtained these images. Some students may know that
some TV weather graphics are made with satellite data.
This discussion can lead to an opportunity to present the
notions of geostationary and polar-orbiting satellites. The notion of
polar-orbiting satellites (those whose orbits take them above both
poles) may be easier for students to understand. They seem to
understand the notion of the ground track of polar-orbiting satellites.
The reason may be that the movement of these satellites is similar to
that of an airplane in the sky. Thus, presenting the polar-orbiting
notion first may be desirable. The class discussion will determine if
this seems appropriate.
Note: For computations in this lesson, we use 3.14 as the value of pi.
Pose the following question to the class: How do you determine the
velocity of a polar-orbiting satellite when the altitude and the period
of the orbit are known? For example, if a 750-mile high satellite
orbits Earth every 3 hours, 45 minutes, how fast is it traveling? That
is, what is the velocity of the satellite?
Allow the students to work in small groups to draw pictures of
the situation and attempt to think through the solution to the problem
without doing the actual computation. Encourage them to think about the
information they already know, and what information they need to solve
the problem. Students can record this information on their papers.
Once the group has a plan to compute the velocity of the satellite, have each student in the group determine the velocity.
Sample method for solving the example:
Step 1: Change 3 hours, 45 minutes to:
3 45/60 = 3¾ = 3.75 hours
Note that a fraction calculator can be used for this conversion.
The radius of an orbit is calculated from the center of the
Earth. Consequently, the radius of an orbit equals the radius of Earth
plus the altitude of the satellite above the Earth.
Step 2: According to the formula C = 2 × pi, the distance traveled is:
C = 2 × pi × (3960.5 + 750) ≈ 29,581 miles
Note: 3,960.5 miles is the radius of the Earth.
Step 3: The distance of the orbit (29,581 miles) is traveled each 3.75 hours. Therefore, the speed—or velocity—of the satellite is determined by dividing distance by time:
29,581 miles ÷ 3.75 hours ≈ 7,888 miles per hour
|Altitude above Earth ||Period ||Velocity |
|170 miles ||1.5 hours ||~17,293 mph |
|20,150 miles ||20 hours ||~7,570 mph |
When students are sharing solutions,
emphasize solutions' methods. Talk about the different approaches (if any) the students used to reach the same solution.
Pose the following question to the class: How do you find the
altitude of a geosynchronous satellite that is orbiting Earth above the
equator? The velocity of the satellite must be known. Using a value for
the velocity, we could ask, "If there is a satellite traveling at
6,900 miles per hour, how high must it be orbiting?"
This question is sometimes difficult for students because
there is only one number in the problem. Putting students into groups
to draw pictures and think about what is known about the problem will
usually help them identify all the pertinent data. Drawing pictures
will help their discussions.
One possible solution method:
Step 1: A geostationary satellite "orbits" the Earth once
every 24 hours. The time of the orbit is what makes it appear not to
move. It is moving in unison with Earth's rotation.
Step 2: If a satellite travels 6,900 miles in 1 hour, how far does it travel in the 1-day orbit (a period of one day)?
6,900 miles per hour × 24 hours = 165,600 miles
Step 3: 165,600 miles is the circumference (C) of a circle, and C = 2 × pi r. Therefore,
pi × r = 165,600 ÷ 2 = 82,800 miles
r = 82,800 ÷ pi ≈ 26,369 miles.
Step 4: 26,369 miles is the radius of a circle whose center
is the center of the Earth. To determine the satellite's altitude above
the surface of the Earth, the radius of Earth (3,960.5 miles) must be
subtracted from the radius of the circle. Therefore, the altitude above
the Earth is:
26,369 - 3,960.5 = 22,408.5 miles
Once again, it is important to have the students share their
solutions to this problem. They may see different methods for solving
this problem. When students share their thinking, some of their
classmates will gain new or heightened understanding of the lesson

The first Growler for fleet use was officially accepted by VAQ-129 “Vikings” at NAS Whidbey Island, on 3 June 2008. The Navy planned to buy approximately 85 aircraft to equip 11 squadrons as of 2008. The EA-18G completed operational evaluation in late July 2009.
The Growler was rated operationally effective and suitable for operational use. On 5 August 2009, EA-18G Growlers from Electronic Attack Squadron 129 (VAQ-129) and Electronic Attack Squadron 132 (VAQ-132) completed their first at-sea carrier-arrested landing aboard the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75).
The first deployable EA-18G squadron was VAQ-132 “Scorpions”, which reached operational status in October 2009. The first Growler operational deployment was announced on 17 February 2011. In service, the EA-18’s radio name during flight operations will be “Grizzly”. The “Growler” nickname sounded too much like the EA-6B’s “Prowler” name, so “Grizzly” will be used to avoid confusion. By May 2011, 48 Growlers had been delivered to the U.S. Navy.
With the termination of the EB-52H standoff jammer, the Growler became the sole remaining manned tactical jammer. Air Staff requirements director Maj. Gen. David Scott has indicated that the USAF will seek to provide electronic warfare officers to fly on U.S. Navy Growlers, without providing funding to purchase additional aircraft. U.S. Air Force personnel of 390th Electronic Combat Squadron stationed at NAS Whidbey Island have been supporting and flying the Growler.
The EA-18G was first used in combat during Operation Odyssey Dawn, enforcing the UN no-fly zone over Libya in 2011. Five EA-18Gs were redeployed from Iraq to support operations in Libya in 2011. | aerospace |

By the way, if you haven’t seen it yet stop reading this immediately and go watch it. It’s completely worth it and this post will spoil it for you.
First off, The Martian does a great job and gets some stuff right, but then again this is science fiction and so there has to be some fictional things but what “The Martian” does is not over exaggerate a ton of things making almost all of it very believable. One blatant thing that they screwed up was the storm at the beginning that stranded the astronaut on Mars after he was hit by the communication tower that the wind knocked over. The dust storm certainly could occur but not to the level it was dramatized because of the incredibly thin atmosphere Mars has. So the storm couldn’t have happened, however, a lot of other things they got right.
For instance, all the orbital dynamics and the time it would take to travel between Mars and Earth was completely dead on and one scientist even acclaimed the movie for doing the computations to determine how long the trips would take. On top of this, the slingshot the Hermes Spacecraft undertook around Earth to head back to Mars was entirely feasible as gravity assisted speed boosts are used to help satellites obtain more speed all the time.
The last two things I wanted to talk about was the ability to grow potatoes on Mars and taking off from mars in a deconstructed rocket. After doing research, I found out that the way Watney grew potatoes was entirely feasible as Martian soil can sustain food growth especially with using feces as fertilizer and obtaining water the way he did, so, in essence, his ability to grow food on Mars is plausible.
Last, what I thought was most ridiculous, was when Watney basically stripped the rocket of its nose cone and other portals so he was essentially flying into space in an open cockpit. I thought there was absolutely no way this could happen. Well, it sort of is and sort of is not feasible. I say this because currently we do not have the technology to take off from Mars because NASA has absolutely no idea how to launch a rocket from Mars at the current point in time so, in that case, it is not possible. However, the fact that the windows are off is potentially possible because the atmosphere is so thin, by the time friction (which would develop heat and thus require the heat shield to protect against the atmosphere) played a factor, it would be negligible. Therefore, it is plausible to launch a spacecraft like that.
All in all, “The Martian” does probably the best job yet of abiding to science when creating a science fiction movie and it was applauded by many scientists as well as checked by NASA to prove it was mostly valid despite a few snafus. If you haven’t seen it yet, I would strongly suggest you go see it immediately.

The programme provides finance for research activities geared to the design of the next generation of European aircraft. Actemium is working hand in hand with its partner, Adática and with the technical leader, Aernova.
The project objective is the research, design and production of HLFC (Hybrid Laminar Flow Control) system piping, which is integrated into the structure of aircraft wings, to reduce energy consumption and atmospheric contamination. The suction of air through tiny perforations, reduces resistance on the wing by controlling the flow of air that is distributed via a piping system. As a result, turbulence is reduced, improving aircraft stability and providing fuel savings of up to 10%.
Adática is responsible for manufacturing, whilst Actemium is focussed on the study, design and integration of the 4.0 equipment system: the tool that enables HLFC pipes to be more precisely integrated into the wing structure. Stresses and deformations must be avoided, as these may lead to inaccuracy and misalignment during the assembly process.
To that end, advanced sensors are installed to monitor, in real-time, key parameters during assembly (position, accumulated stresses, deformation).
Industry 4.0 enabling technologies are employed: during assemply, advanced position detection and stress accumulation sensors and monitoring systems. IoT technology is deployed for the collection and transmission of data to local platforms and the cloud. Big Data analysis and artificial intelligence assist with risk prevention. Augmented reality systems will guide operator during installation and adjustment. Finally a web-based monitoring system as well as data processing and predictive maintenance systems will be implemented.
The project is forecast to start in autumn 2019, and Actemium has been set a budget of almost €400,000. Its importance goes beyond the HLFC project. Actemium will design a solution that can be applied to other industry sectors requiring complex manual assembly work. | aerospace |

I have compiled a comprehensive list of the top 10 fascinating facts about drones that you need to know. Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), have become increasingly popular in recent years. From delivering packages to capturing stunning aerial footage, drones have revolutionized the way we live and work. In this article, we will take a deep dive into the world of drones and uncover some of the most interesting facts about drones.
Introduction to Drones
Drones are essentially flying robots that are remotely controlled or operated autonomously. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be equipped with different types of sensors and cameras. Drones are designed to be versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications, from military operations to commercial purposes.
The History of Drones
The history of drones can be traced back to the early 1900s when the first unmanned aerial vehicle was developed in Austria. However, it wasn’t until the 1950s that drones became more sophisticated with the development of jet-powered drones by the United States Air Force. Since then, drones have been used for various military and civilian purposes, including surveillance, search and rescue missions, and scientific research.
The Types of Drones

Drones come in various shapes and sizes, and they can be classified based on their design and functionality. Some of the most common types of drones include fixed-wing drones, rotary-wing drones, hybrid drones, and ornithopters. Fixed-wing drones are designed like airplanes and can cover longer distances while rotary-wing drones are designed like helicopters and can hover in place. Hybrid drones combine the features of both fixed-wing and rotary-wing drones, while ornithopters mimic the flapping motion of birds.
The Uses of Drones
Drones have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their versatility and capability. They can be used for a wide range of applications, including aerial photography and videography, surveying and mapping, agriculture, wildlife conservation, and search and rescue missions. Drones are also used in the military for reconnaissance and surveillance purposes.
The Impact of Drones on Society
The widespread use of drones has had a significant impact on society. Drones have made it easier to capture stunning aerial footage for films and documentaries, and they have revolutionized the way we conduct search and rescue missions. However, the use of drones has also raised concerns about privacy and safety. There have been instances where drones have interfered with commercial flights, and there have been concerns about drones being used for illegal activities.
The Benefits of Using Drones
Despite the concerns about the use of drones, there are many benefits to using these amazing machines. Drones can be used to survey and map large areas quickly and efficiently, and they can also be used to monitor wildlife populations and track their movements. Drones are also used in agriculture to monitor crop growth and detect crop diseases, which can help farmers increase their yields and reduce their use of pesticides.
The Limitations of Drones
While drones have many benefits, there are also some limitations to their use. Drones are limited by their battery life and range, which means they can only cover a limited area before they need to be recharged or refueled. Drones are also affected by weather conditions, and they may not be able to fly in high winds or heavy rain. In addition, drones can be expensive to purchase and maintain, which may limit their use in certain industries.

Xage Security said in a statement that it had been awarded a contract to provide end-to-end data protection for the USSF. For the project, the business will employ its blockchain-based Xage Security Fabric solution.
The company said Xage Security Fabric has a unified platform capable of securing all systems and removing single entry points so that hackers can not wipe information. It will enable the USSF to verify who is accessing the systems, ensure that the satellites continue to operate safely, even when the ground equipment goes offline, and protect the data until it is fully transferred to the operating units.
Xage Security’s second contract from the US
This is Xage Security’s second contract won from the U.S. Following the first one signed in December 2019, Air Force.
Last year the USSF was created to defend space and acquire military space systems in December. Space systems are infrastructure and vehicles which work together to perform outer space tasks, according to the University of Illinois. These could be satellites or even spacecraft. Since many space systems rely heavily on communication and geographic positioning. It is crucial that the transmitted data can not be compromised.
Duncan Greatwood, CEO of Xage Security, said that the blockchain meets many of the USSF’s complex needs:
“The USSF requires decentralized enforcement of security to establish space domain resilience. And objective situational awareness––across every asset and data element. We built the Xage solution to serve the needs of complex critical infrastructure systems. And are excited to bring the Xage solution to the Space Force in the form of a blockchain-protected space system security.”
For a while, the U.S. Defense Department, which supervises all military branches, including the Air Force and the USSF, has been interested in blockchain. In March this year, it awarded a contract to provide security for sensitive research. And development data to Indiana-based blockchain firm Simba Chain. Also since 2019 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has been involved in blockchain. | aerospace |

Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. said Thursday that Mr. Branson plans to board a flight that will launch for space on July 11, assuming the weather permits and there are no technical problems. That is nine days before Mr. Bezos, the outgoing chief executive at Amazon.com Inc., is expected to do so on a craft operated by his space company, Blue Origin.
The planned launches ferrying both men highlight the competition between Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin for suborbital travel. Companies involved in the emerging industry hope to send hundreds of people on such flights. For now, those trips could cost less than $500,000, based on earlier comments from Virgin executives.
Virgin Galactic said Mr. Branson will use the proposed trip to evaluate the experience for private astronauts and use his observations about preparing for the trip and the flight itself to improve future trips for customers.
“I’m honored to help validate the journey our future astronauts will undertake and ensure we deliver the unique customer experience people expect from Virgin,” Mr. Branson said in a statement. | aerospace |

“It seems the pilot that was operating the aircraft made some diversionary moves to avoid hitting traffic,” CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings said.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – WBTV Sky 3 pilot Chip Tayag is being called a hero, with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Johnny Jennings saying he believes Tayag took extraordinary measures in his final moments before the helicopter crashed on Interstate 77 Tuesday afternoon.
Both Tayag and WBTV meteorologist Jason Myers were killed in that crash.
“It seems the pilot that was operating the aircraft made some diversionary moves to avoid hitting traffic. Fortunately, there were no vehicles involved in it and I think that as we move forward, to me it looks like a heroic incident where the pilot tried to avoid injuring anyone else, in putting anyone else in danger,” Jennings said. “If that truly is the case, then that pilot is a hero in my eyes to make sure that the safety and security of those driving on the road was not in jeopardy.”
David Bristol is a pilot in training and likes to take a look on his back porch anytime he hears an aircraft overhead.
He said he watched the chopper make slow circles for a while and then he noticed two things he considered odd. First, he said, was the sound Sky 3 made seemed to change.
Then, he said he saw Sky 3 make two odd, hard turns to the left and suddenly disappeared behind the trees.
At the same time, Joshua Aguirre was driving south on I-77 when he saw the chopper spiral toward the road. He said it seemed that pilot Chip Tayag was able to use his last seconds to save others.
“It happened so fast, there was no time to react and so it was obvious that there was a huge level of heroism involved,” Aguirre said, adding he got out of his car and prayed over the crash site.
Bridgette-Anne Hampden said she had just gotten on I-77 near Tyvola Road when the helicopter came down right in front of her and she estimated it was within 100 feet of her car.
“Having had the opportunity to process, I really believe he was a hero because when you look at the proximity to the highway itself if that helicopter had come down, it would have been quite a chaotic scene,” she said. “And so, he needs to be applauded, because he (had) the presence of mind to veer off is what has been running through my mind.”
The crash happened shortly after 12 p.m. Tuesday on I-77 South at the Nations Ford Road exit in south Charlotte. All lanes were closed for hours, with traffic backed up for miles as crews evaluated the scene.
CMPD says investigators with the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will be working as they begin piecing together why the helicopter crashed.
They’ll collect evidence at the scene and then, likely later Wednesday morning, the wreckage will be taken to an offsite facility.
The NTSB will then lead the investigation and determine the cause and issue recommendations.
That preliminary report will likely be received in two to three weeks while the full report will likely take at least a year.

During its years of service, the Hercules family has participated in numerous military, civilian and humanitarian aid operations. This section needs additional citations for verification.
A key feature was the introduction of the Allison T56 turboprop powerplant, which was developed for the C-130. The Hercules resembled a larger four-engine brother to the C-123 Provider with a similar wing and cargo ramp layout that evolved from the Chase XCG-20 Avitruc, which in turn, was first designed and flown as a cargo glider in 1947. Fairchild, North American, Martin, and Northrop declined to participate. The remaining five companies tendered a total of ten designs: Lockheed two, Boeing one, Chase three, Douglas three, and Airlifts Inc. The Lockheed design team was led by Willis Hawkins, starting with a 130-page proposal for the Lockheed L-206. The first flight of the YC-130 prototype was made on 23 August 1954 from the Lockheed plant in Burbank, California. After the two prototypes were completed, production began in Marietta, Georgia, where over 2,300 C-130s have been built through 2009.

The initial production model, the C-130A, was powered by Allison T56-A-9 turboprops with three-blade propellers and originally equipped with the blunt nose of the prototypes. Deliveries began in December 1956, continuing until the introduction of the C-130B model in 1959. The C-130B model was developed to complement the A-models that had previously been delivered, and incorporated new features, particularly increased fuel capacity in the form of auxiliary tanks built into the center wing section and an AC electrical system. Four-bladed Hamilton Standard propellers replaced the Aeroproducts three-blade propellers that distinguished the earlier A-models.
An electronic reconnaissance variant of the C-130B was designated C-130B-II. A total of 13 aircraft were converted. These pods were slightly larger than the standard wing tanks found on other C-130Bs. The extended-range C-130E model entered service in 1962 after it was developed as an interim long-range transport for the Military Air Transport Service. The C-130H model has updated Allison T56-A-15 turboprops, a redesigned outer wing, updated avionics and other minor improvements. Later H models had a new, fatigue-life-improved, center wing that was retrofitted to many earlier H-models. For structural reasons, some models are required to land with certain amounts of fuel when carrying heavy cargo, reducing usable range.
C-130H models produced from 1992 to 1996 were designated as C-130H3 by the USAF. The “3” denoting the third variation in design for the H series. The MC-130E Combat Talon was developed for the USAF during the Vietnam War to support special operations missions in Southeast Asia, and led to both the MC-130H Combat Talon II as well as a family of other special missions aircraft. The HC-130 is a family of long-range search and rescue variants used by the USAF and the U. The C-130R and C-130T are U. Navy and USMC models, both equipped with underwing external fuel tanks. The USN C-130T is similar, but has additional avionics improvements.
In both models, aircraft are equipped with Allison T56-A-16 engines. The USMC versions are designated KC-130R or KC-130T when equipped with underwing refueling pods and pylons and are fully night vision system compatible. The RC-130 is a reconnaissance version. A single example is used by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, the aircraft having originally been sold to the former Imperial Iranian Air Force. The L-100 also has two stretched versions. In the 1970s, Lockheed proposed a C-130 variant with turbofan engines rather than turboprops, but the U. | aerospace |

Twins Edward R. Norton and James A. Norton Jr. were obsessed with flying. They applied as volunteers to the US Air Force and became bomber pilots.
On May 17, 1943 they flew their first mission in a convoy of 11 Martin B-26 Marauder bombers. It would also be their last ... their plane was shot down by German flak.
Both brothers - 22 years old - were killed in the chilly waters of the North Sea. They died as they had lived: inseparable.
De Martin B-26 Marauder was one of the bombers used in WWII by the US Air Force. A B-26 had a seven-man crew and could carry 2,600 kg of bombs.
Edward Norton was 1st pilot and his co-pilot was James Norton. The brothers flew their mission on May 17, 1943 zero altitude - just above the ground - in order to drop their bombs on targets as accurately as possible. This meant that the risk of civilian casualties was also quite small, but the chance of being hit by a German FLAK high and happened with 9 out of 11 aircraft, including those of the Norton brothers. They were hit above IJmuiden and crashed into the North Sea. | aerospace |

At 11:30am on 8 July 2011, astronaut Sandra Magnus was onboard the space shuttle Atlantis. She and her crewmates, Rex Walheim, Doug Hurley, and Chris Ferguson, were in the final minutes of preparing to fly to the International Space Station. This wasn’t her first trip – Magnus had previously lived on the space station for four and a half months – but this trip was different, and it was bittersweet. This would be the last flight of the Atlantis, and the end of the space shuttle program.
Magnus – like her crewmates on this flight, and the 351 astronauts who had flown on a space shuttle before – trained for this using the NASA Full Fuselage Trainer, a full scale mock-up of the space shuttle. The trainer, which used to be located at the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility at Johnson Space Center in Houston, now lives at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Visitors to the museum can not only see the trainer but, can even go inside. You can stand in the same space that hundreds of astronauts have stood in before, see the scuff marks where they practiced climbing in and out of the hatch at the top of the flight deck, and even spot the signatures that Magnus and her crewmates, the last team to use the trainer, left in the front wheel well.
Exploring the Fuselage Trainer is a pretty amazing experience. And it’s just one of the things you can see and do at Seattle’s Museum of Flight.
The museum, which has a footprint of about 20 acres, is the largest non-profit air and space museum in the world. It has an incredible collection of spacecraft, aircraft, artifacts, and exhibits which trace the history of humankind taking flight.
In the museum’s lobby, you can find a 1/10 scale model of the hot air balloon used in the first non-tethered human flight in 1783, as well as the arched, bat-like glider that allowed Otto Lilienthal to fly in 1983, and a replica of the Wright Brothers’ 1902 glider.
The Museum of Flight’s Aviation Pavilion is a 3 acre display that maps the dramatic development of large aircraft and commercial airliners from the 1930s to the present. The exhibit includes:
- The world’s only presentation of the first Boeing 727, 737 and 747 jets
- The first jet Air Force One
- The extremely rare Boeing 247D and Douglas DC-2 airliners from the 1930s
- The only Concorde on the West Coast
- The B-17F Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress from WWII
- The Cold War’s B-47 Stratojet
- Jet fighters spanning the wars from Korea to the Persian Gulf.
The Red Barn, the birthplace of the Boeing Airplane Company, is also part of the Museum of Flight. The Barn has been restored and houses an exhibition focusing on the life of William E. Boeing and the first two decades of the Boeing Airplane Co.
The Red Barn, the Aviation Pavilion, and the Space Gallery are just three of the six galleries found in this enormous museum. The other galleries include the Great Gallery, which explores the first century of human flight; the Lear Gallery, which currently houses the exhibit Space: Exploring the New Frontier; and the Personal Courage Wing, which highlights the stories of those involved in fighter aviation in World War I and World War II.
The Museum of Flight – this enormous, extensive homage to pioneers in flight – is one Seattle attraction you won’t want to miss.
General admission tickets, as well as tickets for the interactive tours and experiences – including the shuttle trainer tour – can be purchased at a discount on the museum’s website: museumofflight.org. Tickets can also be purchased at the museum.

You will be a part of a spectacular display of grace and elegance, whilst viewing the world from a different angle and defying gravity. Sit back and enjoy the exhilaration as you encounter well-known aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, rolls, stall turns, chandelles and steep turns.
You will fly at speeds of over 100mph, thousands of feet in the air and test your nerves in this adventurous, white knuckle ride.
Your experience starts with the qualified instructor giving you a pre-flight briefing which will enable you to understand how the aircraft is capable of aerobatic flight. Once in the air, your instructor will accelerate the aircraft to over 100mph before starting a sequence of aerobatic manoeuvres, which may include loops, rolls, and wingovers. Due to the nature of this experience it is unlikely you will be able to take the controls, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. This experience is not for the faint hearted and is definitely not recommended with a hangover.
Please note that the manoeuvres described above are only an example of what you may experience and can differ depending on the location.

You get to fly all manner of aircraft from small light turboprop planes to fighter jets and big cargo planes, and you get a number of different tasks to complete as you do this, which allow you to unlock even more cool aircraft. Read on for some tips and tricks for Flight Pilot Simulator 3D by Fun Games For Free!
Whenever you fail a mission you will have the chance to restart from a point to close to where you failed, rather than at the beginning of the level. There are only so many times that you can do this, though, before you end up having to restart at the beginning, because every retry will bring you closer to the point of impact, giving you less of a chance to win. Eventually, it will become impossible and you will have to start completely over.
Oftentimes, takeoffs and landings will be the toughest part of your job. For landings, make sure that you are approaching as perfectly as possible before attempting to touch down. If you are even just a little bit crooked, too high or too low, break out of the approach and turn around when you get some distance out so that you can give it another shot.
For takeoffs, make sure that you are using the right plane, because too big of a plane won’t take off at too narrow or too short of a runway. Sometimes you can get around too narrow of a runway by taxiing around a tight corner before beginning the takeoff roll, but for too short of a runway, forget it – you are going to have to switch planes.
Hit the free flight mode for the quickest way to earn more coins. Of course, it might also be the toughest, so if you have too much trouble with landing and taking off over and over, then go to the mission-based levels and fly them again, especially the special missions. Fly them multiple times if you need to. Earn as many stars as you can and you will unlock even more missions.
Toggle between single speed and double speed as needed in order to fly as accurately as possible. Use single speed play when you need the most accurate and deliberate play possible, such as during landing and possibly while taking off. Double speed is good for cruising or mild turning maneuvers. As you become more and more advanced at the game you will be able to switch to double speed for a higher percentage of the game. | aerospace |

The US Command Center said in a statement not to mention how many passengers and crew were in the medical transport helicopter. But a US military source told Reuters there were seven people.
"All the personnel on the helicopter were killed in an accident, this tragedy reminds us of the risks facing men and women every day, to serve the country," said Jonathan P Braga, director of the Joint Task Force operations.
Mentioned, the exact cause of the accident is still under investigation. But so far the cause is not due to enemy activity or attack, but other factors.
The fall of this helicopter was first reported by the crew on the second helicopter that accompanied it. The two helicopters flew together as the crash. The crash site, near Al-Qaim City, Anbar Province, near the border with Syria, was immediately sterilized by Iraqi security forces and coalitions. | aerospace |

Though similar to Earth in many ways, Mars also poses unique challenges that could greatly impact the success of colonists. Some important questions we must answer before landing on the Red Planet include:
- What are the challenges of getting to Mars and how do we solve them?
- How much energy does it take to support colonists for a year? What could we use to provide this energy?
- How do reduced gravity and foreign soil conditions affect plant growth? Could this mean we can’t farm on Mars?
- Can we use a compass to navigate on Mars? How else do we know where we’re going?
- Is the Martian atmosphere really that different?
- How is the weather different on Mars? How does it affect the structures we build?
Besides discussions about these topics and many more, participants will also get hands-on experiences! They will have the opportunity to:
- Design and create their own “Mars Habitats,” imagining how the first colonists would live
- Build a basic telescope and learn how Mars was discovered
- Build and test compressed-air rockets and blast them off!
