Like so many excited children my age, I watched the Apollo 11 moon-landings live, on a fuzzy black and white TV. There was a surreal edge to my experience, watching this from only 12 degrees south of the Equator, in northern Zambia, Africa. I wondered what it would be like to be up there and what sort of people were these super-human astronauts?
The 'space age' stumbled during the 1970s and 1980s, under the impact of Cold-War politics, public disinterest, and slashed budgets. However, in 2004 President George W. Bush unveiled an initiative to 'return to the Moon' in order to utilise potential resources there as well as to develop a base that may support the drive for human exploration beyond, such as a manned mission to Mars.i
So it seems that a political will has returned, as well as a gathering public interest, which has been fuelled by promised monetary backing. The spirit of this new venture has been touted as focusing on the potentials of international co-operation rather than the Cold-War competition that drove the Apollo Moon missions. At the end of the Moon race in the early 1970s, the US and Russian programs took separate paths. After the U.S. Skylab mission, the U.S. awaited the shuttle, which was delayed until 1981. The Russians moved into a series of space station missions - Salyut then Mir. This meant that they encountered the problems of long distance space missions, with prolonged orbital missions – upwards of six months duration – which partly accounts for their early interest in spaceflight psychology. For the U.S., such missions were hypothetical until astronauts joined cosmonauts on Mir. Some astronauts returned reporting problems such as loneliness, mild depression, and cross-cultural conflicts. This stimulated American interest in psychosocial adaptation and behavioral health in the U.S. space program. ii
In 2003, NASA sponsored a conference on Behavioral Health at the University of California. The intent was to revitalize research on psychosocial adaptation and performance, and to bring researchers and operational personnel closer together. NASA have subsequently announced they are looking for 'the class of 2009', who one day may partake in crewed lunar missions planned for 2019. iii The European Space Agency (ESA) has similarly issued a call for astronaut applicants.iv
Given the resurgent interest in space flight psychology and with anticipated long-term missions, questions arise as to (1) have psychological selection criteria changed over time and (2) what sorts of people might these selected astronauts be?
The history of psychological assessments of astronauts:
The 'Original Seven' selected for the Mercury programmes in the 1960's were no doubt 'The Right Stuff' as Tom Wolfe (1980) referred to them - cool, tough and resourceful ex-military pilots; akin to 'single combat warriors' from an earlier era. The selection team deliberately chose military test pilots as probably having the closest match to the skills and medical standards needed for pioneer flights.
Applicants underwent psychiatric interviews as well as undergoing psychological evaluations and cognitive tests in order to 'select in' for positive factors such as intellect and personality. The 'next generation' of astronauts selected by NASA, for the Gemini and then the Apollo moon landing programmes, were also mainly from military backgrounds. In contrast to Mercury's 30 hours of psychological evaluation, though, the Gemini and Apollo programmes only required 10 hours.v
In 1960, NASA had begun a research program to determine if women could qualify as astronauts. Twenty-five female pilots passed the Mercury Program tests, with 13 going on to be 'unofficially' trained: see 'Women Who Led the Way' in Escape Velocity 3. By 1965 NASA was beginning to feel public pressure from critics that no women had so far been officially selected. They opened the selection criteria to include 'scientist astronauts' – but out of 1500 candidates, only six were selected for the June 1965 group - all males. However, it was only with the Shuttle Program in the nineteen seventies that NASA firmly encouraged the application of women. In January 1978, the first women as well as black and other ethnic minority candidates were selected.
The trend of decreasing psychological involvement in selection continued. By 1983 only active 'screening out' of psychopathology was being done. In 1989, the NASA Life Sciences Directorate began negotiations for a seat on the Russian space station Mir. This offered the opportunity for longer flights than any prior U.S. space program. In the 1990s the NASA/Mir missions became a reality providing the first phase of the International Space Station (ISS). As Moon and Mars missions are considered, so the emphasis may move in terms of who constitutes an 'ideal' astronaut. The focus on social compatibility was less evident for solo Mercury missions when the idea of the resilient, loner 'Space Cowboy' was born. However, with longer-term flights allied with increased crew numbers, we need to know what psychological characteristics are optimal for well-functioning astronauts.
What makes for a current 'ideal' astronaut?
The importance of ensuring adequate psychological screening was highlighted by the case of Lisa Nowak, a NASA astronaut who was arrested in February 2007, accused of attempted kidnapping after being embroiled in a love triangle with two other astronauts, the 'other woman' being a captain in the U.S. Air Force. What would happen if this had occurred on the International Space Station? NASA Administrator Mike Griffin organised a Health Care Review Committee to report on selection procedure. The Committee rejected additional reports of problematic behaviour amongst astronauts, which included alleged drinking close to flights, but Griffin concluded 'They're not perfect and neither am I'' (Spall, 2008, p. 72).
So it seems astronauts are indeed very human - and selection, training and support are geared towards maximal functioning and efficiency, in lieu of perfection. Initial selection remains geared towards ensuring people with significant prior psychological problems are screened out, although it is hard to control for the possible development of later onset mental health difficulties. There is a feeling in the space community that there is a need to invest more in an astronaut's mental well-being. Human factors have traditionally been under-resourced in NASA research and mission considerations, vi
but now there appears to be a growing awareness of the importance of getting this right for the success of long-term missions. vii
Polar stations have been used as analogues for long-term isolated and dangerous working conditions akin to space settings; such as boredom and the strain of seeing the same people day after day. A three-year Mars mission with a crew of 6 is going to stretch team spirit to the limit. In Moscow next year (2009), 6 European Space Agency (ESA) volunteers will be locked up for 17 months to assess stability under isolated duress. viii
In order to acclimatise astronauts to working within cramped, isolated and difficult environments, NASA has built an underwater laboratory known as Aquarius, located off the coast of Key Largo, Florida. Aquarius is too deep for people to be rescued quickly if something happens; and both confined and isolated ocean floor work entails dealing with partial gravity and a liquid lunar-similar landscape. Over 1 - 3 weeks, the astronaut's vigilance, attention, psychomotor speed and stress reactions are monitored and entered into a 'typically performing' database, which will be useful to identify atypical or deviant performances in space.ix
So what are the ideal psychological attributes for an astronaut faced with the stress of longer-duration missions? Harrison (2001), who has written the seminal book Spacefaring in the area, suggests the required psychological attributes are: ability, motivation, (emotional) stability and social compatibility. Soviet space programmes have paid much attention to the interpersonal 'mix' of their cosmonaut teams - usually pairing 'dominant' and 'more submissive' cosmonauts on missions. This allowed for a natural and decisive chain of command and minimised the potential for disagreements in a military style hierarchical matching.
As NASA has opened up its recruitment for civilian members, the military model may be less appropriate. The issue of social compatibility appears to be a characteristic needed for the success of long-term missions. With regard to fostering teamwork, the NSBRI psychologist, Dr. Judith Orasanu, and her colleagues, have been conducting studies at NASA-Ames. Individual personality profiles are taken and then teams subjected to problems that may occur in space, such as going out on repair missions with limited personnel and resources, or dealing with medical emergencies. Personality variables, stress responses, team interaction and mission performances are assessed, building models of successful crew performances.
Findings so far suggest that mixed gender rather than single groups perform better, especially in competitive tasks. With regard to power and communication distributions within successful teams, Orasanu & Fischer (2005) has commented: "Everyone talked to everyone else; more positive affect and cohesion were expressed through a greater use of "we" than "I" and team members built on each others' ideas rather than directed others' behavior."
High levels of anger and aggression are linked to worse team performances and high levels of positive emotion - e.g. joking and complimenting each other - tend to enhance team performance. Finally, the overall team composition is more important than individual characteristics. That is, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Yet some personality 'types' might be better suited to some positions than others - e.g. emerging group leaders tend to be more extroverted, less neurotic and more agreeable than their peers (DeAngelis, 2008a). Although clear leadership appears to play some role in task success, the leadership style seems to favour more supportive and almost 'democratic' approaches to task and team management, rather than dictatorial styles.
If mixed gender teams are generally more effective overall, it still remains to be seen whether this effect perseveres over a longer period, such as during Mars missions. The issue of love and sex will eventually impact. To prevent another scenario such as that which occurred with Lisa Nowak, NASA must continue to prioritise research into optimising human factors in spaceflight.
It "seems that many contemporary astronauts are now more open about their feelings than the early days of right-stuff bravado" (Spall, 2008 p.74). Mike Foale, after a 1995 spacewalk to repair the Hubble Space Telescope malfunction coupled joy with tears of relief at the end. As Spall puts it, "right stuff calmness with (expressed) human emotion makes for the perfect astronaut."
So how do we best support and ensure emotional stability among the astronauts who are selected for long term spaceflight missions?
Proposed ways of supporting astronauts on long-term missions:
The Soviet space programme tried to analyse and respond to cosmonaut stress from voice data, however, this has been an unreliable procedure. Dr David Dinges from the University of Pennsylvania, a member university of NASA's National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI), has developed a brief self-assessment tool called the 'Psycho-motor Vigilance Test' (PVT); which utilises an optical computer recognition scanner that tracks facial expressions to assess mood, including anxiety and depression. An online computerised treatment package - e.g. based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles, can be prescribed as assessed from the monitoring assessment data (DeAngelis, 2008a). This develops the notion of 'silicon psychiatrists' - i.e. on board computers assessing and treating an astronaut's performance in flight; i.e. monitoring their attention, psycho-motor performance, mood and stress levels.
Sipes and Vander Ark (2005) state that a number of other Russian psychological supportive measures for cosmonauts have been useful to adopt for American astronauts on the ISS - these include regular family contact and communication via private video family conferences setup in the family home. Further spontaneous contact opportunities are via e-mail and Internet Protocol Phone - although incoming calls are regulated to ensure they are not overloaded. Each crew member also receives 5 kilograms of individualised 'crew care packages' from relatives and friends via visiting Shuttle and Progress supply vehicles.
These will become harder to ensure with a Mars mission, and radio lag-time with increasing distance will make communications user-unfriendly. The 'NASA Bioastronautics Critical Path Roadmap' researches ways to maximise human performance and reduce the risks associated with human factors in space-flight.x
It's been over thirty-five years since Apollo 17 and the last of the 'Moon Walkers'. I think that's time enough for a return to the Moon and beyond. I hope one day to look up again and know that there are people walking around on its surface. As we have seen, not super-human beings or 'perfect people', but 'normal' people, albeit with good to exceptional abilities and pro-social behavior; maybe even someone reading this article will become one.
Questions to Prof. Al Harrison, author of Spacefaring: The Human Dimension.
Apollo 11 astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, said: "I don't think anybody - astronauts or otherwise - are born with some kind of right stuff. It's something you work into." Do you agree? To some extent it goes against 'common sense' experience, i.e. that some people seem to be natural go-getters, heroes and capable - extrovert maybe.
Actually, I do not agree with this. Over the past half century it has become more evident that there is a strong genetic component to human behavior. Heredity gives us potentials which can be neglected or fostered by our experiences. Training can help people develop the strengths that would be useful for space-faring. But in my opinion, not everyone - and I include myself here - has the potential to become an astronaut. "Right stuff" astronauts are born with great potential which is then developed over time, in the early years in military training as well as the superb training and conditioning provided by NASA.
The notion that team work is a more important trait than individual skill is contrary to the view we perceive from many Science fiction books and films where the day is often saved by an individual. Comment?
What you really want are people who perform well as individuals but who can also work effectively as part of a team. A lone hero makes for a great science fiction story. And certainly at some points it may take individual initiative and heroic action to keep everyone alive or complete a mission. But on the whole you want everyone working along side by side, doing what they know best, and what they each need to do, to achieve success. Don't think in terms of fighter pilots; think in terms of a crew of a multi-engine airplane.
Would you agree with the cut-off date of 37 years? In many ways doesn't this seem too old?
Although astronauts need to be in good physical condition they do not have to be competitive athletes. In fact, because of microgravity, space is not an ideal location for people who want to maintain superb conditioning. If physical fitness were an overriding requirement, we might expect space agencies to recruit 18 - 20 year olds, as do armies. But they are also looking for academic credentials, experience and evidence of a distinguished career, maturity, and so forth. This takes time to develop. I am not sure about the cosmonauts, and I am not sure about exact ages, but you might want to look up details on John Young, Storey Musgrave, and of course John Glenn completed a shuttle flight I think in his seventies.
What do you think are the most important human factors to consider in supporting long-term space missions?
We have to move beyond minimalist thinking and design human centred spacecraft that accommodate the needs of their human users. We need to accommodate diversity - gender, culture, occupation and so forth. We need to empower the astronauts - give them greater autonomy and more control over their schedules and activities. There has been progress on all three fronts in the modern space station (ISS) era.

According to a witness, the helicopter was spraying soybean fields about a mile east of Rienzi on Highway 356 when it clipped a power line and went down in the beans shortly before 9 a.m. on Thursday.
Edith Hughes-Johnson and her husband, Quitman, had been watching the helicopter spraying the fields around their house in the minutes leading up to the crash. Edith had walked inside at the time the helicopter struck the power line.
It was a blast when it hit like a big light went through the windows, she said. The line just clipped him. I think it was the back rotor that hit. I came out of the house and it looked like he just glided it down.
The helicopter descended to earth in a soybean field approximately 50 yards from Edith s home. She watched as the pilot tried to take off, but was unable to gain altitude with the broken rotor.
The pilot was not injured. Within two hours ACE Power had restored electricity and a local towing company had loaded up the helicopter and took it away from the scene.
According to airport personnel, a small agricultural helicopter fueled up at the Corinth-Alcorn County Airport Thursday morning around 8:15 a.m. The copter was a 2006 Enstrom Helicopter Corp model 480B licensed to Tennessee Helicopter Sales & Service of Bolivar, Tenn. It was piloted by Bolivar resident Jimmy Sain.
Airport personnel could not confirm that this was the helicopter that struck the power line near Rienzi because no report had been filed with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Hughes was happy because the pilot had escaped injury and the soybeans weren t badly damaged.
It s amazing to me it didn t take out more of the soybeans, she said.
Alcorn County Emergency Management Director Ricky Gibens also looked on the bright side.
There s one good thing about this, Gibens said. And that s nobody got hurt. | aerospace |

Death is mandatory, but when it occurs all of a sudden it really becomes a historical incident. Such an incident is unforgettable for the people for years and years. Usually the people who lose their lives in street accidents and plane crashes are remembered in the history. Since the time the planes came into being, the crashes were accompanied. History is full with plane crashes which took place due to one reason or another. Below we have mentioned the top 10 air travel companies with most plane crashes in 2014.
10. China Airlines
China Airlines is famous all over China for its affordable and amazing services. But this airline is also known to have faced many plane crashes. During 2014, over six incidents have occurred with its planes. Another incident of the history is 2002’s accident that took place during the voyage Taiwan-Hong Kong and killed over 250 passengers.
9. Kenya Airways
Kenya Airways isn’t considered to be a safe airline company for international flights. Two severe accidents have occurred during last ten years, and one minor yet life-killing accident took place during 2014. In 2000, one of Kenya Airways’ planes worn-out into the Atlantic Ocean, and killed over 150 people. In the same way, another accident of 2007 took the lives of 114 passengers.
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) has so far experienced countless air crashes, making it an unsafe airline company. Five of its major crashes have killed over 500 people. The most severe accident was when one of its flights crashed into a mountain because of poor visibility, and killed 167 people.
7. Garuda Airlines
A few years back, Garuda Airlines was banned because of some serious accidents occurring during its flights. It has experienced seven major accidents so far and killed more than 600 individuals. Alone in 1997, one of its planes crashed into a mountain and killed about 234 passengers.
It had been one of the best and reputable airline companies in the world. But Avianca’s repute was seriously damaged because of the chain of accidents occurred, the major of them wad the Madrid accident that killed more than 200 passengers.
5. Thai Airways
Thai Airways was well known all over the world. Unluckily, during 1980 and 1990 it had to experience several accidents that damaged its repute. A major accident was of 1992 when a flight from Kathmandu killed over 120 individuals at the spot.
Egyptair’s number of air crashes is over 5. This is one of the most dangerous airlines in the world since 1970. A series of accidents and mishaps occurred that killed over 400 people, making it an non-trustable airline company.
3. Philippine Airlines
Philippine Airlines has a history rich with air accidents. More than six of its international flights got crashed and killed over 130 people because of hijackings and explosions.
2. Cubana Airlines
Cubana Airlines has seen over eight major crashes, and 404 casualties were reported. This led the authorities focus on replacing the aircrafts with the better ones.
1. Iran Air
Iran Air suffered with 10 air crashes. During the past five years, this airline has seen no major success just because its repute has been damaged seriously. In 1988, a severe air crash took the lives of more than 300 people. | aerospace |

If all the satellites are decommissioned as planned and the satellite launches fall through, all Argos satellite coverage will cease as of 2027. As of 2022, Argos satellite coverage is still limited to early morning and mid-morning.
In June 2015, NOAA pledged to launch one of several new Argos-4 instruments in 2019, contingent upon the availability of funds. The NOAA program facilitating the launch is called Cooperative Data and Rescue Services (CDARS). That launch has since been delayed until 2022.
President Trump’s FY 2018 budget request included a five-year funding timeline that delays CDARS and the launch of new Argos equipment until 2022. | aerospace |

Without relying on carbon offsets, the airline aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 100% by 2050.
United Airlines aims to buy up to 100 new zero-emission hydrogen-electric engines (ZA2000-RJ) through a new equity stake in ZeroAvia, a firm focused on hydrogen-electric aviation solutions.
As early as 2028, the engine might be retrofitted to existing United Express planes.
One possible application is on the CRJ-550, which is the only 50-seat aircraft with first-class and other premium amenities.
United’s CEO, Scott Kirby, said: “Hydrogen-electric engines are one of the most promising paths to zero-emission air travel for smaller aircraft, and this investment will keep United out in front on this important emerging technology.”
He added, “United continues to look for opportunities to not only advance our own sustainability initiatives but also identify and help technologies and solutions that the entire industry can adopt.”
Instead of burning fossil fuels, hydrogen-electric engines employ electricity generated by a chemical process in a fuel cell to power an electric motor.
When the engines are turned on, there are no harmful pollutants or carbon emitted into the atmosphere because no fuel is burnt.
The ZA2000-RJ will be utilised in pairs as a replacement power supply for existing regional aircraft.
United Airlines Ventures has agreed to pursue a conditional purchase agreement for 50 ZeroAvia ZA2000-RJ engines, with an option for another 50, sufficient for up to 50 twin-engine aircraft to be operated by United Express partners once completely completed and certified by regulators as soon as 2028.
ZeroAvia is speeding up development of its ZA2000 engine and will shortly begin ground testing of its ZA600 engine in a 19-seat aircraft, with the goal of putting it into commercial service by 2024.

It functions as both a bastion of the unknown and as a source for hope. Yet, the Western-centric direct engagement with space exploration often reduces space to nothing more than a source for raw materials to finance private companies for the gain of their stockholders. Governments and private companies seek to understand and know what is out there not for some altruistic purpose as the rhetoric might claim—i.e. Planet B, for the benefit of all humankind, inspiration—but for utilitarian value and how the universe might be exploited. There is an entire economy of speculation on the commercial value of asteroids, minerals, or other cosmic bodies, while research into how to have thriving multi-faceted communities in space is lacking. Elon Musk says his Starship will carry 100 people to Mars? Who will those people be and how will they live together on that ship once they reach the planet? Why has this idea been used to gain investors and finances but so little work has been done on the actual social arrangements? This shows the priorities not necessarily of those interested in space exploration, but of those who seek to use space for profit-making. What this appears to mean then is that space exploration is more about benefiting some people while promising that the universe is for all. Rather than following the major space powers and billionaires, envisioning a future in space that encompasses the vast diversity of our planet is essential for a better world.
We see that the values and activities of the exploration of space have come to be predominantly unjust and harmful. From the appropriation of indigenous land to build launch sites and telescopes to the unequal access to and use of low earth orbit, the benefits of space have not been for “all humankind” as the Outer Space Treaty proclaimed. The rules of who gets to benefit from space are just as elitist and privileged as ever. How can all people be part of space exploration without reproducing Earthly injustice?
In 1973, Sun Ra, the visionary Jazz musician, exclaimed that Space is the Place! And I think many of us would agree. Space is both a very real material place and one in which each human gets to imagine it. While outer space has been a source of inspiration for everything from new technologies to social justice and political actions, what it is not, currently, is a place for all peoples. Can space exploration be more of a celebration of life and liberation? I think it can. This begins as many things do—with imagination, inspiration, and community. Space holds dreams of better things, new places, new forms of being and knowing the universe. Looking up at the sky is a human trait. Linking our cultures and ways of life to the sky is something that all cultures, past and present, do. Space isn’t just out there—it is a part of our histories, our cultures, and our daily lives.
Over the course of the 20th century, the exploration of space went from being a fantasy to a reality through the work of scientists, engineers, politicians, writers, thinkers, and dreamers. Different nations, cultures, and peoples had and have very different reasons for exploring space, but this is not reflected in the access and use of space. Every single person on this beautiful planet Earth has a relationship to space, yet only certain types of ideas and visions are popularized. How many peoples from the peripheries see themselves represented in space activities or even in the visions of the future? While there is no clear answer to this and many other questions, what I think is essential is dreaming about space. We must not let our dreams be influenced by other people’s desire for power or profit. There are so many dimensions to think through when it comes to space exploration. We must encourage all imaginations to seek and explore all the possibilities of space. Space is the place, but it is not the final frontier. | aerospace |

Looking like slow-moving stars, sometimes as bright as magnitude +2, they take about 10 minutes to travel from horizon to horizon. Satellites are most prominent in the first and last hours of the night, since they are then still clear of the Earth’s shadow. Sometimes they fade suddenly and disappear as the satellite enters the shadow. Generally, Russian satellites tend to orbit south-north or north-south, as they are launched from reasonably high-latitude sites.
Some satellites move together in groups of two or three – possibly giving rise to UFO reports! A few, such as the Hubble Space Telescope and the International Space Station, are distinctly brighter than the rest. The Iridium communication satellites can produce spectacular flashes (popularly called “flares”) when the Sun glints off their shiny surfaces. They briefly shine at magnitude –8 and can even be seen in daylight.
There are several areas in which the amateur can play an important role, ranging from just observing a satellite (noting its optical characteristics such as magnitude, whether it appeared steady or was tumbling), to the specialized art of determining the position of a satellite against the celestial background so that an accurate orbit can be calculated.
Approximately 350 satellites have no orbital data from official sources as they are classified military launches. A handful of amateur space detectives have located, identified and keep regular tabs on such objects. In the last few years it has become possible to observe the superficial structure of the larger satellites using simple, cheap webcams or low-noise commercial surveillance cameras.
South Africa has always been a location of importance to the satellite tracking community on account of it being in the southern hemisphere and also under the flight path of many satellites during the first few hours in orbit.
Further information is available from the Shallow Sky Section.
How to Visually Observe Satellites by Greg Roberts, available as a free PDF download, is an introduction to observing and studying satellites. Written by one of the world’s leading satellite trackers, it covers the basic concepts and even gives advice on the equipment and techniques required for automated satellite tracking. | aerospace |

The latest Intelsat V series of satellites promises greater capacity through the use of advanced technology. Brian Dance reports.
IF ONE PICKS UP a telephone and makes an intercontinental call, the chances are that it will be connected through one of the satellites stationed over the India, Pacific or Atlantic oceans. The demand for international telecommunications has increased enormously during the past few years and increasingly sophisticated satellites have been placed in orbit to provide more and more channels. Most of the satellites currently in use are cylindrical in shape with solar cells on the outside of the body, but future trends are stretched arms so that all of the solar cells are directed towards the sun. These new look satellites will provide even more channels of communication than their predecessors.
About 80% of satellite traffic is for telephone use. Although long distance television signals produce quite an impact in millions of homes, television accounts for only about 2% of the use of global satellite communications. About 15% of the traffic is for data and message transmission. Apart from international communications, satellites are now used for communications across a single country such as Canada, Nigeria, Indonesia, etc.
Satellites are used for conveying television signals to remote areas and it is rather interesting to note that the earth station which received more occasional television transmission in 1975 was any other earth station was at Manaus--a Brazilian rubber port about 1 400 km up the river Amazon!
A regular inter-continental telephone service was first introduced from London to New York in 1927 using a 60 kHz transmitter, but the first trans-Atlantic cable became available in 1956 with 48 speech circuits and provided much better quality and reliability. Reflections from the moon were used to provide a speech link across the U.S.A. in 1956, but our natural satellite is a poor reflector of radio waves and is too far away for low noise wide band signals.
The first artificial communications satellite, Echo 1, was a balloon about 30 m in diameter which was launched in 1960. Its aluminized surface reflected both radio waves and light very well; it formed a very bright object in the sky which has probably been seen by more people than any other man made object. Echo 1 orbited the earth in about two hours and acted as a passive reflector of radio waves so that it could be used to relay signals between Europe and the U.S.A. Echo 2 was rather similar, but the first television transmissions between the U.S.A. and Europe were carried by Telstar 1 in 1962; this satellite had its own transmitter operating on 4170 MHz with a power of 2.25 W. the power being provided by 3 600 solar cells. These and similar satellites had the severe disadvantage that they were visible from any earth station only for a short time--about 20 minutes in the case of Telstar 1--and had to be followed across the sky by the earth station aerials. Complex systems using as many as 50 satellites were proposed so that continuous communications could be maintained, but each earth station would have required at least two aerials so that one could follow the satellite whilst the other searched for the next satellite coming above the horizon.
A much better system was proposed as long ago as 1929 in which satellites in circular orbits 36 000 km above the earth are used; such satellites have orbital periods of about 24 hours, so they can be made to appear stationary from a point on the earth. The early rockets did not have enough power to place a satellite in one of these geosynchronous orbits. In addition, it took time to develop the technology required to enable the satellites to be maneuvered in orbit, etc. Satcom 1 was the first geosynchronous satellite launched in 1963, but all modern communications satellites are geosynchronous.
The International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT) was founded in Washington in 1964 to provide telephone and television communications to all users on a non-discriminatory commercial basis. INTELSAT owns the satellites and leases circuits to numerous countries, but the earth stations are normally owned by the telecommunications authorities in the countries concerned.
The INTELSAT satellites launched up to the present time are known as the I, II, Ill, IV and IVA series, whilst a new type V series is planned for this year. The first INTELSAT I ("Early Bird') could carry only 240 telephone conversations and could communicate with only two earth stations at any time. INTELSAT II ("Blue Bird') had the same capacity, but could operate with several ground stations simultaneously.
The INTELSAT III, IV and IVA vehicles have bodies which are spinning for optimum stability, the rate of spin being of the order of 1 revolution per second. The aerials are placed on a 'de-spun' shelf so that they point in a constant direction. Special lubricants are required for the bearings in the high vacuum of space which can operate over a wide temperature range. Failures occurred in over half of the INTELSAT III spacecraft, but a much greater proportion of the INTELSAT IV and IVA craft have provided the desired performance.
The aerials of the INTELSAT IV satellites include 'global' beams for covering the largest possible area of the earth (including remote islands) and spot beam antennae which provide a 4.5 beam for optimum communication with areas where the traffic density is very high. Each successive type of satellite provides more channels of communication. The main improvement in the IVA-series is the use of directional aerials for the east and west beams so that the same frequencies can be used in both of these beams without mutual interference.
One of the main disadvantages of the cylindrical spin stabilized craft is that only a small proportion of the solar cells on the cylindrical body are facing the sun at any one time. Thus the available power is much smaller than that which could be obtained from a satellite with a similar number of cells which all face the sun. The new INTEL SAT V vehicles will therefore employ three axis body stabilization with the solar cells on extendible arms 'which can be rotated so that all of the cells face the sun at all times. This type of system can provide about three times the power per square meter of solar cells than in a spinning satellite. The new satellites will use the 11 GHz and 14 GHz bands for communications as well as the 4 GHz and 6 GHz bands used by the existing INTELSAT craft.
The contract for the supply of INTELSAT V vehicles was awarded to Aeronutronic Ford (now Ford Aerospace and Communications Corporation) in September 1976 at a cost of $236 million for seven satellites with options on a further eight. Each INSTELSAT V craft will have a capacity of about 12 000 telephone channels and 2 color television channels. The first will be placed over the Atlantic to cater for the very heavy traffic in that region. The second will be a spare for the first, whilst the third is scheduled for the Indian Ocean (including Australian use). It is hoped to use the NASA space shuttles to launch some of these craft, since this should reduce the cost from about $ 25 million to $15 million.
All seven craft are due for launching by May 1981.
The INTELSAT V Atlantic satellites will employ space diversity with shaped beams to the east and west so that Europe and Africa are covered by the east beam and North and South America by the west beam. Thus the 500 MHz wide frequency band will be used twice, as in the current IVA craft. In addition, INTELSAT V will re-use the frequency spectrum a second time for the Northern Hemisphere where the traffic demand is heavy. This will be accomplished by polarizing these additional beams perpendicularly to the normal beams. The simultaneous use of polarization and directional isolation is one of the major technical challenges of INTELSAT V.
The current INTELSAT system employs frequencies in the 6 GHz band for transmission from the earth stations, whilst the satellites transmit in the 4 GHz band. These frequencies and other likely to be used are shown in Table 1.
The bandwidth at the lower frequencies is 500 MHz, but, there is a 3.5 GHz bandwidth in the 19 and 29 GHz bands for the up and down links respectively. In general the use of the bands is shared with terrestrial services and there is a limit to the power which can be used to avoid interference. However, the frequencies of 19.7 21.2 GHz and 29.5-31.0 GHz are to be reserved exclusively for down and up satellite links respectively.
The maximum permitted power in the 4 GHz band is--152 dB W / m2/4 kHz at arrival angles of less than 5' rising to -142 dB W / m^2/ 4 kHz at arrival angles of 25' or more. These values are 2 dB higher in the 11 GHz band, whilst in the shared part of the 20 GHz band it is increased by a further 11 dB, but the latter is specified for a 1 MHz rather than a 4 kHz bandwidth.
The greater available bandwidth and reduced chances of interference makes the use of the higher frequency bands very attractive, but one of the most fundamental obstacles to the use of frequencies above 10 GHz for satellite communications is the degradation of the signal by heavy rain in the vicinity of the receiving station. Rain and precipitation in the atmosphere not only attenuate the signal from a satellite, but cause de-polarization, increased noise and increased interference between terrestrial and satellite systems. Even when 4 GHz signals were being received from the early Telstar satellite, it was noted that the noise level in creased when the receiving station was near heavy rain.
The effects of rain can be overcome by the use of diversity techniques with switching between two or more receiving stations, but this is obviously expensive.
The use of high transmitter power also helps to reduce the effects of rain.
Telemetry and command signals are transmitted to the satellites within the communications band, but outside the communications channels themselves. The INTELSAT IV spacecraft have 223 command channels.
Gravitational fields due to the sun, moon, etc. and variations in the earth's gravitational field cause small movements in the position of a geosynchronous satellite. Solar radiation pressure also produces a small effect which accumulates with time. The drift in the orbit inclination out of the equatorial plane is about 0.8- per year in the case of small inclinations. If uncorrected, the would cause the satellite to move progressively around in a figure of eight. In addition, a satellite is accelerated towards two stable points at 75'E and 105' W due to the non-uniformity of the earth's gravitational field.
When a satellite has moved from its desired position by a certain amount, small thruster jets operated by command signals from the earth cause it to return to the desired position. The gas jets used consist of a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen obtained by admitting liquid hydrazine into a reaction chamber containing a catalyst which causes the liquid to separate into its two constituent elements. Jets can also be used to keep the aerials on the de-spun shelf of existing satellites pointing towards the earth with an accuracy of 0.1 0; the reference direction may be obtained by an infra-red sensor detecting radiation from the earth and from the sun.
Although the use of geosynchronous satellites gives Vise to the problems discussed, it brings many advantages, such as no Doppler shift of the signal frequency, few thermal stress cycles, low radiation environment, low magnetic fields, etc. The earth subtends an angle of about 18 at a geosynchronous satellite; a global beam from the satellite will cover about 4/ 10 of the earth's surface, so ground stations can be linked over great circle distances of up to 17 000 km.
The variation of the signal power level at various points is extremely large. Let us trace the levels which are typical for a television signal being relayed from one amplifier in an earth transmitting station to the output of the amplifier of an earth receiving station.
The signal comes into the transmitter power amplifier at a level of around 1 mW, but is amplified to a level of a few hundred watts before it is fed to the aerial at the centre of one of the giant 30 meter diameter dish aerials.
This dish provides an effective gain of about a million by concentrating the power into a narrow beam; a power of a few hundred megawatts would be required to achieve the same signal level at the satellite if this power were radiated equally in all directions. This signal is attenuated by a factor of about 1 020 during its journey to the satellite, so it arrives at a level of a few picowatts. The satellite aerial provides a gain approaching one hundred and the satellite receiver amplifier a gain of about 100 000, so the signal leaves the receiver at a level of about 100W. Power levels in the circuits from the satellite back to earth are of the order of one million times lower than those in the up path in many cases. The 10 uW signal from the satellite receiver is amplified to a level of about 10 W and fed to an aerial with a directional gain of about 50; the effective power radiated by the satellite is thus around 500 W. This suffers a loss of the order of 10^20 in the down-path, so it arrives at the ground station receiving aerial at a level of about 5 attowatts (1 attowatt = 10^-18W). However, the enormous receiving dish provides a gain of about a million to bring the signal level up to around 5 pW; without such a dish, the signal would be lost in noise. The signal is then amplified in the ground station receiver system so that its power level is brought up to about the lm W level (similar to the level at which it arrived at the power amplifier of the ground station transmitter at the start of the cycle). It is difficult to fully appreciate the enormous range of power levels involved. This range is some 10^26 times or 260dB between the effective power radiated from the transmitting aerial of the earth station and the effective power level at the aerial of the receiving earth station.
A satellite repeater accepts the incoming signal, amplifies it, changes its frequency for the new band and amplifies the power level for re-transmission. Frequency modulation is normally employed for simplicity in both the up and down links, the modulation being identical in each case. In the Intelsat IV craft, the band is divided by a filter into 12 channels of 36 MHz each with a 40 MHz spacing of the centre frequencies.
The incoming signal in the 5.932 to 6.418 GHz region is fed to a tunnel diode amplifier operating at the signal frequency. It is then converted into a 2225 MHz signal for broadband amplification before being converted into a 4 GHz signal which is passed to a travelling wave tube for power amplification. These tubes offer efficiencies of about 30% and require a high voltage supply. There is a four fold redundancy in the electronic systems of a satellite to ensure reliability is high.
Tunnel diode amplifiers are simple and light in weight, but other amplifiers can be used in the receiver circuits of satellites. For example, the European Orbital Test Satellite (OTS) uses a parametric amplifier operating in the 11 and 14 GHz bands instead of a tunnel diode. It seems likely that gallium arsenide (GaAs) field effect transistors will replace tunnel diodes and possibly even travelling wave tubes at frequencies of up to at least 14 GHz.
The design of earth station equipment is very different from that of the circuits in the satellite, since the weight and size of the ground station aerial can be far greater than that of the satellite system. In addition, ample power is readily available at earth stations. The carrier power required from a satellite is approximately inversely proportional to the gain of the earth station aerial in the receiving direction (G,) and directly proportional to the earth station noise temperature (Ts). Thus the factor G,/T, can be used as the figure of merit for an earth station which is conveniently expressed as 10 log,c , (G,/ Ts ) dB r K. This figure of merit is an important parameter of an earth station, since it determines the traffic handling capability. The figure of merit is usually measured by pointing the aerial at a distant radio star so that the noise level may be compared with that of other aerials using the same star. This method is most satisfactory for large aerials, but the moon may be used for smaller 10 meter diameter dishes. For small aerials of up to 8 m diameter, it is more convenient to obtain the figure of merit from the noise temperature and gain.
All standard earth stations in the INTELSAT network must have a high figure of merit, namely 40.7 dB / K. An aerial of at least 26 m diameter is required to obtain this figure, but a 30 m dish is normally used to give more flexibility in the positioning of low noise receivers by using longer wave guides with higher losses. The total weight of a '5th generation' standard aerial for INTEL SAT use is about 300 000kg and the overall height some 28m.
The satellites are not quite stationary. A fixed antenna is unsatisfactory, since the aerial beam angle is narrow (about 0.2c at 6 GHz for a 30 m aerial). A servo system is usually used to control the movement of the aerial, the error signal being obtained by using a beacon signal emitted by the satellite. Most aerials are fully steerable and can be moved to operate with any satellite.
EARTH STATION RECEIVERS
Some of the very early earth station receivers employed master amplifiers in the first stage, but these amplifiers cannot operate over the wide bandwidth used in the INTELSAT system. A very low noise amplifier is essential to handle a low power signal over a 500 MHz band width.
Parametric amplifiers cooled to about 15 K are usually employed. Such an amplifier can provide a gain of some 30dB with an effective noise temperature of about 15°K. It may be followed with a tunnel diode amplifier giving a gain of about 10 dB or with a travelling wave tube amplifier. Continuously operating cryogenic cooling devices using gaseous helium have been developed in which the helium is re-circulated in a closed system.
Although the receiver noise temperature is about 15 K by losses in the feeders, by 15 K by side lobe pick-up and by 25' K by atmospheric absorption. Thus the total effective noise temperature is about 70'K. Each earth station receives a carrier from every other earth station with which it wishes to communicate. The number of carriers sent from stations is reduced to a minimum by using a single carrier for conveying signals to various destinations. Thus the number of transmitted carriers is lower than the number of signals received by various stations.
EARTH STATION TRANSMITTERS
The power required from an earth station transmitter depends on the aerial gain, on the geographical position and on the gain of the satellite system. The latter will depend on whether global or spot antennae are being employed and on the number of channels available. The required power can be obtained at the earth station by using narrow band transmitters (some tens of MHz) using klystrons or a wide band transmitter using travelling wave tubes (500 MHz bandwidth). If klystrons are used, each carrier is amplified to a suitable level in a separate transmitter and the outputs of the transmitters are combined before the signals are fed to the aerial.
This arrangement is used mainly in stations operating with relatively few carriers. The initial cost and the running costs are fairly small with klystrons, but long breaks are required to change frequencies.
Large stations operating with many carriers favor travelling wave tubes. The carriers are combined at low power and then are amplified by the wide band transmitter before being passed to the aerial. The non linearity of the travelling wave tube produces some intermodulation products at the output and these must be limited by operating the tube some 10 dB below its capability to prevent interference with other signals.
Travelling wave tubes are more expensive and less efficient than klystrons in these circuits, but their wide band capability is very convenient.
THERE is a rapidly growing demand for communications via 'domestic' satellites across a single country. Signals from satellites used for this purpose can be concentrated within the boundaries of a nation so smaller earth station aerials can be employed than for international communications where the beam energy must be more widely dispersed. For example, 10 m diameter antennae give Gr / T s values of around 31 dB / ° K, whilst 10 m antennae of Gr /T2 about 26dB / ° K are being delivered in the USA for receiving only television signals. Antennas of 2 to 3 m in diameter with a figure of merit of 14 to 20 dB /°K can be used in remote areas for providing 12 voice channels for emergency use or on oil drilling rigs, etc.
Telephone companies cannot charge such high rates for inland calls as they do for international calls, so the viability of domestic satellites is more severely limited by costs than that of international communications systems. However, domestic systems are now well established in countries such as Canada whose Telesat system provides television and voice communication throughout the country, the USSR (mainly television), the USA, which has three systems provided by three different companies and various other countries.
Some countries, such as Spain and Mexico, have leased INTELSAT circuits for their domestic use, but the charges are high enough to make it more economical for most large countries to have their own system. In some cases a group of countries close together can jointly own a system.
COMPARISON WITH CABLES
Satellite communication links are generally cheaper than long distance cables operating under the ocean, but the cables have a minimum expected life of 25 years against 7 for a satellite. It is uneconomic to connect remote islands by cable, so satellite or radio links are used.
Satellites are essential for carrying high bandwidth signals (like television) over intercontinental distances.
The new TAT-6 cable laid across the Atlantic can carry 4 000 voice channels, but satellites of the IVA series can carry 6 000 speech channels and some domestic satellites even more. Cables may be more vulnerable to enemy attack and communications are vital in war.
A peculiarity of a satellite link arises from the fact that the signal must travel rather over 36 000 km to the satellite and a similar distance back to the earth. Thus there is a delay of about a quarter of a second before the signal reaches its destination and a delay of at least half a second before any response reaches the sender. If a signal received by a satellite was transmitted to another satellite before being returned to earth, the delay of a second or so before any response could be returned to a person might be unacceptable in ordinary telephone conversations. The longest delay on sub-oceanic cables is about 1/16 second.
Satellite communications are one of the most useful products of the huge investment in space technology.
They have radically changed the pattern of world communications and confer outstanding benefits on the lives of ordinary people. It seems likely that satellites able to handle 100 000 telephone circuits will be developed without any great increase in the satellite mass. Improvements in frequency re-use, 3 axis body stabilization, high efficiency solar cells, on board switching, hybrid modulators, etc. will provide great improvements. The life of satellites is partly limited by the life of the batteries used to provide power when the vehicle is eclipsed by the earth, but new nickel-hydrogen cells are showing great promise for this application.

Google Maps has added a new feature: it allows users to explore the Solar System. Those who are curious enough to understand the mysteries of the universe can now explore planets, moon or the International Space Station.
Zoom in on the planets and learn about their surface
The new feature added by Google has been created with the help of the famous Cassini spacecraft. The spacecraft spent over 20 years in space and over the summer it burned up while in Saturn’s atmosphere. Cassini has sent over the years vast amounts of images, information and many videos of planets and their moon.
Almost a half million pictures were sent to scientists, making it possible for them to learn more and reconstruct these unexplored worlds. Google announced the new feature for Google Maps announcing that everyone can now access images of planets and moons for free from their computer.
This is an extraordinary opportunity not only for scientists but also for the future generations. Enthusiasts can scan the moon’s craters, the methane lakes of Saturn’s largest room: Titan, search for different locations in space and learn about their surfaces. The feature also allows for the 3D images to rotate, allowing the user to see where the sun is hitting at that particular time and what is there on the dark side.
Learn about Mars
Google Map users cannot perform location search in space, but they can zoom in on the planets or the moons and find out more about the different locations presented. For example, when users zoom in on Mars, it is possible to click on different regions and learn more about their features. Everything you dreamed about to know about space is just a click away.
It is definitely one of the most impressive features of Google Maps so far. | aerospace |

It was illuminated by dim white lights. (Story.)
What are our options here? Alien invasion (which would explain John Kerry)? Secret military plane, singular? Hoverboards? Small group of planes that appeared to be a single object?
Commercial aircraft usually move at several hundred miles per hour. Cessnas and other light aircraft can get airborne around 55 knots (63 mph); commercial aircraft take off around 150 mph. You can definitely get a plane to be airborne when it travels at the speed of a car on a highway; it’s just not the planes that people fly on to get to California, nor the speed that those planes move in order to get people to their destinations in a timely manner.
If the thing is visible because of its own lights, it could have lights that are in an odd pattern but do not necessarily illuminate the entire aircraft. Likewise, it could be a group of Cessnas or Pipers, each of which had illumination, grouped together; in such a configuration, they may look like a single, oddly-shaped plane.
Other possibility: test flight of advanced military aircraft. Sorry, conspiracy theorists, alien loves, and Holocaust-deniers, but the military likes having American pilots in highly-advanced aircraft, and likes Americans to be protected with the most advanced technology around. It also likes people to not know that they are being protected with this stuff, because then our enemies don’t know about it. If you think it’s aliens, you aren’t going to spill to the Chinese, Russians, North Koreans, or whomever about our fancy new toys that can kick the butts of their not-so-fancy toys.
Yeah, I’m a killjoy. There’s aircraft out there – called Cessnas or Pipers – that can fly close to the ground at a relatively slow rate of speed. Planes flying together can give the illusion of one big plane. Unless E.T. drops out of the cockpit, it’s nothing special. | aerospace |

BRUSSELS, Belgium, February 17, 2005 (ENS) - At the Third Earth Observation Summit here Wednesday representatives of 54 nations and over 40 international organizations endorsed a 10 year plan that details concrete steps towards comprehensive cooperation for Earth observation.
The Global Earth Observing System of Systems (GEOSS) brings together many of the nations and agencies that have been using Earth observation tools independently. In the past, cooperation has been limited, but now with many countries and organizations agreeing to work together to collect and share data from individual systems, the benefits of Earth observation are expected to multiply and will be available to citizens around the globe.
"It is very fitting that we are today, on the date of entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol, launching a system that will greatly enhance our understanding of the environment and will hopefully help us to do what we can to improve it," said European Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas, who delivered the opening address to the summit.
Gaining a better understanding of climate change trends and their impact by pooling scientific information is a key interest of GEOSS participants. This spring the European Space Agency plans to launch CryoSat as the first satellite in the agency’s Living Planet Programme a mission that responds to the issue of climate change and its effect on the Earth’s polar ice masses.
A precision radar altimeter has been designed to determine rates of change in the thickness of polar ice sheets and floating sea ice. This data will help improve understanding of the relationship between the Earth’s ice cover and global climate.
GEOSS will be a system of systems such as the European Space Agency that now exist or will be created in the future. It will supplement but not supplant each system’s own mandates and governance arrangements.
The GEOSS 10 year agreement will provide the overall conceptual and organizational framework for global Earth observation to meet users' needs. It will provide the institutional mechanisms for ensuring the coordination and strengthening of existing global Earth observation systems. GEOSS will build on the success of Earth observation research programs, and facilitate the practical use of these systems.
Dimas said, "Collecting and managing observation data is an expensive business, so acting globally and sharing the information freely - between stakeholders, between governments, between institutions and with the public - ensures that scarce resources are used as efficiently as possible, reducing overlap and double-funding."
"By adopting an implementation plan for the GEOSS, we have accomplished the first phase of realizing our goal of developing a comprehensive, integrated and sustained Earth Observation System so that the world can better predict weather and climate, prepare for natural hazards and protect people and property. Today's action is a true milestone," said U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, who is heading the U.S. delegation to the Earth Observation Summit.
Lautenbacher is one of four international co-chairs of the Group on Earth Observations. Also co-chairing are Achilleas Mitsos, director general for research, European Commission, which hosted the Brussels summit; Tetuhisa Shirakawa, deputy minister of education, culture, sports, science and technology, Japan; and Dr. Rob Adam, director-general of science and technology, South Africa.
"The tsunami disaster has shown us just how important Earth observation can be, by providing invaluable data to support the immediate humanitarian response and now reconstruction," said European Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik.
"Global problems need global solutions," Potocnik said. "By working together across the world to interlink all our earth observation systems, whether in space, in the air or on the ground, we will be giving ourselves the instruments to tackle these problems more effectively."
NOAA has been monitoring the Earth's environment for more than 30 years with tens of thousands of sensors in more than 100 observing systems from satellites to marine sonars to human observations of marine mammal populations. As part of its participation in the Global Earth Observing System of Systems, NOAA has developed a new website that provides a comprehensive description of all of its observing systems. http://www.nosa.noaa.gov/
As part of its GEOSS effort, the European Commission Wednesday launched a dedicated Environmental Information System based on satellite and computer mapping technologies. This tool, developed by the Joint Research Centre, supports EU development activities in Africa, by providing information on food needs, helping the European Commission Humanitarian Office provide aid in the aftermath of natural disasters and other emergencies, and assisting long term development through sustainable management of natural resources.
As the world’s largest donor of development aid, the European Union has, over the last decade of research, used satellite imagery, maps, statistics and computer models to address diverse environmental monitoring issues. In the process, strong links have been established with UN agencies, with counterparts throughout the developing world, as well as space agencies and other data providers.
The European Commission is using this experience to create an Environmental Information System for Africa.
Africa has 17 percent of the world’s forest, at least 20 percent of its grassland and 11 percent of wetlands. Changes, such as the burning of much of the grassland each year, affect Africa and the global environment, especially the climate.
Environmental measurements help determine Africa’s role in the global climate system, and highlight how climate change will affect the ecosystem services the poorest rely upon.
The European Commission and European Space Agency have launched an initiative to establish, by 2008, a European capacity for global monitoring for environment and security (GMES) to support the EU’s political goals regarding sustainable development and global governance.
"It is the developing countries that have the most to gain from the setting up of a global Earth Observation system," said Rob Adam, South Africa’s director general of the Department of Science and Technology and GEO co-chair. "The lack of such makes it terribly difficult to adequately deal with the developing world’s economic, environmental and humanitarian challenges."
"In developing nations, many of which lack strong traditions in cartography and mapping," Adam said, "Earth observation technologies have proven essential tools for addressing public policy issues such as deforestation, urban planning, agricultural production and environmental assessment." | aerospace |

A statement issued in Accra by the Airline said the A321 Long Range, was the first TAP narrow body aircraft operating transatlantic routes, offering the premium comfort of a long-haul aircraft.
It said it had 16 executive seats, four of which were single seats, and offers more space in economy class, equivalent to that available on the A330neo.
The statement quoted Mr Antonoaldo Neves, TAP’s CEO as saying: “This model is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including modern full-size executive seats, more ergonomic and spacious economy-class seats, on-board entertainment and connectivity system that allows free and unlimited written messages.”
The new aircraft, which is named after the Portuguese philosopher and poet, Agostinho da Silva, has the capacity of 168 passengers and expands the airline’s medium and long-haul operation in combination with the A330neo.
“The A321 Long Range is essential for TAP’s expansion, and its range is enough to explore the markets of North America, South America and Africa, which results in a perfect match with the A330neo.
In North America, it allows, for example, to explore markets on the east coast, such as New York, Boston, Montreal or Washington. In Brazil, this aircraft helps us to explore new markets in the Northeast and can complement our services in several cities, such as Recife, Natal, Fortaleza or Salvador,” he added.
He said this was the first of 14 aircrafts of this model, committed to Airbus, to arrive at the Airline.
TAP will receive a total of 37 aircrafts by the end of this year and 71 by 2025, thus, becoming one of the most modern fleets in the world.
This renewal and growth of the fleet has allowed TAP to announce new destinations and more frequencies. | aerospace |

CHINA hopes to be growing potatoes on the dark side of the Moon within the next 100 days, it’s been revealed.
When its Chang’e 4 spacecraft touched down on the lunar surface it was carrying a £1m airtight container designed for growing crops in shocking conditions.

Chinese scientists now hope both plants will root and sprout in the container, producing the first flower ever grown on the space rock.
They hope to see the results towards the end of a 100-day experimental period, according to the country’s space agency.
Last night, they announced their first breakthrough publishing a picture of cotton seed, bought up on Chang’e 4 actually growing.
China Daily tweeted: “The latest test photo shows a cotton seed brought to the moon by China’s Chang’e 4 probe has sprouted.”

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin reported that the FAA has imposed a temporary flight restriction for the area around the bridge where thousands of migrants are congregating near Del Rio, TX, and as a result, Fox can’t use its drone to capture aerial footage of the situation around the bridge. Melugin also said they’ve used the drone around the border for seven months and it hasn’t been a problem until now.
Melugin said, “We’ve been using our drone to show everybody these remarkable pictures. … We just learned that the FAA has put out a temporary flight restriction, a TFR, in the area immediately around the port of entry where that bridge is. What does that mean? It means our drone can no longer fly and show those images. It’s a two-week TFR, and according to the FAA, it’s for special security reasons. We’ve reached out to the FAA to get a little clarification on what the heck that means. The timing on this, the location, a little bit curious. I just want to point out, Fox News has been at the border for the better part of seven months now. We’ve been using the drone the entire time. It’s never been an issue.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Malaysia Airlines said Friday it will stick to its order of six Airbus A380s as it expects global travel to pick up by late next year.
Newly appointed Managing Director Tengku Azmil Zahruddin said the superjumbos, due to be delivered from 2011, will be used for long-haul routes such as London, Sydney and Armsterdam.
The airline is also taking delivery of 35 Boeing B737-800 aircraft from the fourth quarter of 2010 to replace its existing single-aisle planes. Its fleet renewal plan aims to lower costs for fuel, engineering and maintenance, Azmil said.
"Our core network is in Asia, Middle East and Australia ... but we do have a lot of traffic coming in from Europe. The A380s will allow us to do a lot more than what we are able to do today," he told a news conference.
Some airlines are reviewing their A380 orders as the slump in global travel undermines the profitability of flying the superjumbo.
The International Air Transport Association has predicted global airline losses will swell to $11 billion this year. It predicted a 2010 loss of $3.8 billion, and doesn't expect the industry to turn a profit until 2011 at the earliest.
Azmil said 2011 will be good timing for Malaysia Airlines to take delivery of the A380 given the expected industry upturn.
The carrier is also studying plans to buy a new fleet of wide-bodied aircraft to cater to future growth but has not yet made any decision, he said.
Azmil, who joined the airline in 2005, took over the helm from Idris Jala following Jala's appointment as a Cabinet minister in late August.
He said the carrier plans to further cut costs by 700 million ringgit ($202 million) this year. Bookings have been promising but yields — a measure of revenue per seat — remained soft, he said. The carrier has cut capacity by 12% in the first half this year and recently withdrew from New York and Stockholm routes.
Malaysia Airlines returned to profitability in the second quarter, thanks to a large gain on derivatives contracts, but still suffered an operationg loss due to a decline in sales.
It posted a net profit of 876 million ringgit ($250 million) for April-June, rebounding from a loss of 695 million ringgit ($199 million) in the previous quarter and up from 34 million ringgit ($10 million) in the same quarter a year earlier.

You realize there is commitment and effort involved, and that the cash – well, no one becomes a flight attendant to obtain rich, all things considered. It doesn’t matter – your mind has been got by you made up, and you’re about to attempt a flight attendant job search. Here are a few recommendations on performing a flight attendant job search that can help you discover the jobs that you desire to apply for.
1. The major airlines are merely a huge number of the subject for the flight attendant job search.
There are over 60 small and mid-size airlines in america – over 80 if you include Canadian based airlines as well. While the major airlines have also furloughed journey attendants since 2001 and have cut back on hiring, the tiny airlines are thriving. If you are seeking to work with fractional operators and charter services, the flight attendant job search opportunities are even bigger. The jobs are available – you just need to increase the scope of one’s job-search beyond the Big Six.
2. Don’t overlook traditional job look techniques in your flight attendant job search.
Yes, they do advertise in the local paper’s help wanted sections. You’ll also find employment ads for the airlines in industry magazines, so if you are serious about finding a job as a flight attendant, grab yourself bought to aviation newsletters and magazines.
3. Utilize the power of the Web to get your flight attendant job-search into high gear.
Do check the most common suspects. You will find entries for flight attendant open houses and job opportunities on Monster, HotJobs! and other Internet job web sites. Additionally you will find listings for flight attendant job opportunities on a number of the major newspaper’s want ad pages.
But don’t stop with the job listings on the job search engines. Since aviation is indeed industry specific, you will discover the biggest concentrations of job opportunities and entries on aviation industry specific sites. An easy search for ‘flight attendant jobs’ may draw up many job search sites specifically for those in flight. Check always them out watchfully and join 1 or 2. Better yet, locate a discussion forum for flight attendants and join that. You can post questions, read data from operating flight attendants and keep your eyes peeled for announcements of open houses.
4. Use on the organization internet site.
When you’re performing a flight attendant job-search many air companies now have a for you to upload your resume. when you check while they might not be hiring, enter your data anyway so that they can send you an when they do large job interviews and informational meetings in your area.
5. Network is still the main solution to look for a job.
Like any other job, it is often who you realize that gets your foot in the door in a attendant job search. Let people know you are looking – let every one know you are looking. You might never know that your great Aunt Lucy’s nearby neighbor’s daughter is a flight attendant if you do not mention that you are looking for employment working for an airline – but it just might be your ticket in to the market.
Whatever you do, do treat your flight attendant job-search significantly. Look at the advertisements daily, and be sure to have an expert resume and cover letter prepared to distribute to any job openings that you find.

The mission itself will last about three years and introduce humankind to a part of the universe that has never been intimately explored.
One of the most interesting aspects is that for the first time, there’s a big chance that several of the astronauts would be females (instead of maybe one or two). Glamour sat down with four female astronauts who are all equally experienced to take on the Mars mission.
Tracy Caldwell Dyson, an astronaut who lived at the International Space Station for six months, explained her experience of seeing Earth from space: “I’m thrilled for the women who are coming after me. I can’t wait to see where they go and what they do.”
As Nicole Aunapu Mann, Anne McClain, Jessica Meir, and Christina Hammock Koch all work towards potentially scoring a seat on the Mars mission, they also reflect on the hardships they would face — like leaving behind kids who will grow up while they’re gone.
But, as McClain stated to Glamour, “I can’t recall ever not wanting to be an astronaut.”

The first, the 100 series began flying in the 1960s and with many advancements and modifications later, the 300 series, namely the 350 arrived on the scene. The Air King selection on aircraft has flown more than 10 billion miles since 1964, which is the equivalent of 143 round trip flights to Mars. How’s that for a reputable and functional aircraft?
Because of its size and the fact its a turbo prop jet, the King Air 350 can land on runways that are as short as 3300 feet. This means that your team can fly in to a city and hgm bypass the major, commercial airport in favour of a smaller one that may just be closer to your destination. It has a 55 cubic foot baggage area that is in the main cabin so your team has access to everything they will need throughout the flight and there is even a flushing toilet in the lavatory that also features a solid wood privacy door.
As for seating, it is plush and comfortable, affording the whole team plenty of leg, elbow, shoulder and head room. There is seating for up to nine and of course this can be configured to custom arrangements or held fast in the specified seating configuration, depending on your needs.
The King Air 350 is part of the 300 Series which is a cleaned up version of its predecessor, the 200 series. It has more powerful engines and redesigned cowlings not to mention the fact that the entire fuselage was stretched out about three extra feet allowing for two extra cabin windows to be included in the design. What makes the 350 better than the 300 version is the addition of winglets as well.
The King Air 350 has a range of some 1800 nautical miles and can fly at a maximum speed of 315 knots. This means that if you happen to be in the middle of the country you can easily get to either coast in one leg of travel. Best of all, it means you can travel in luxury without the need for a commercial airport, their long lines through security and the hustle and bustle that accompanies them. | aerospace |

Tomorrow morning is the big visa interview. Depending on how that goes, our little American adventure could come to a close sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, we went to see the NASA Space Center in Houston.
We touched a real moon rock.
We also watched a science "show," during which the scientist ate a graham cracker that had just been frozen in liquid nitrogen. She proceeded to blow "smoke" out of her nose and mouth like a dragon. I understand that it's pretty amazing to be able to look inside a rocket, see an actual space suit, touch a moon rock, etc...but that liquid nitrogen trick was seriously one of the craziest things I've seen in a while.

Their next steps will be to come up with a design, a way to build it, a way to operate it and to present those plans to the rest of the world. They're calling the facility the International Lunar Scientific Research Station and Russia says it will be open to all interested countries and international partners.
The Soviet Union, from which Russia emerged in the early 1990s', had a space race with the United States. In 1957, the Soviet Union became the first country to launch a satellite into orbit. It was the first to launch animals and eventually a human into orbit. The United States had leapt ahead by 1969 when it landed men on the moon and Russia fell further behind in the space race following the collapse of the Soviet Union's communist government. In more recent years, Russia was a founding partner of the International Space Station, but China has not been allowed to participate in that project. The U.S. outlawed out of security concerns. That's part of the reason why it's significant that Russia partnered with China on the new space station. Experts say it could signal a new era of competition as opposed to cooperation when it comes to international space projects.

It appears in Raiden Fighters Jet as a new fighter with unique special abilities.
The Ixion is a jet fighter, designed with the latest technologies.
The Ixion's wings are forward-swept, a configuration in which the quarter-chord line of the wing has a forward sweep. This wing can give the aircraft excellent agility and maneuverability. In each of these is a gun and pylons for its missiles. It also uses canards for stability.
Operational History Edit
The Ixion was developed as part of the XTF project.
After testing was complete, the Ixion saw its first mission. In this mission, it was to attack a facility occupied by hostile forces with the other Raiden Fighters. After destroying the surrounding forces, the Ixion chased down and destroyed the XTF-01 experimental bomber and shot down its on-board cruise missile before it struck an urban area.
The Ixion's weapons are pretty similar to some of the previous fighters from Raiden Fighters 2: Operation Hell Dive, for instance, the Ixion's missiles are fully powered-up versions of the Dark Swords with the charged attack sending a barrage of these missiles, but the lasers for the Ixion are thin purple versions of the laser of Raiden II, and the charge attack is four purple giga lasers being fired all at once, making this a powerful full-flexed fighter.
Raiden Fighters series: The Ixion appears only in Raiden Fighters Jet as a fast and somewhat powerful fighter, and appears in the game's opening as well.
- The Ixion's overall appearance is based on the Sukhoi Su-47 experimental fighter as well as sharing some similarities with the Grumman X-29

The airplane is an antique Boeing B-29 bomber that flew 37 missions in World War Two but was retired before it could see service in Korea. It was used instead for target practice for new Navy combat pilots.
It survived all this abuse, and in 1994, the Air Force donated it to the Museum of Flight.
“The Museum’s B-29 was trucked to Seattle from Lowry Air Force Base when that base was being deactivated,” said Thompson, a volunteer restoration worker on the B-29. “It was decided that it was appropriate for it to be here since this was where it was designed and where the first three were built.”
After over 5,000 hours of restoration since its arrival, the plane is more than 90% ready for display in a museum.
However, due to a lack of hangar space, all work has stopped on restoration.
“When work resumes, the time to complete the restoration will depend upon the available time that volunteers can provide,” Thompson said. “A rough estimate might be two years from the time work resumes.”
This B-29 will be perfect down to every last detail. From crew ash trays to turret motors, all parts will be in perfect working order. Right now, with modifications from the restoration crew, this is the only B-29 in the world with turret guns that are capable of moving.
The airplane is wrapped in a white protective coating to protect it from the weather. Once the restoration is complete, the goal is to display it with the rest of the Museum’s collection.
“The current visions of the Museum are to build an addition on the west side of the existing building which would house both the B-17 and the B-29, along with the Red Barn,” said Thompson. “This would be known as the Boeing Pavilion.”
When this airplane finally goes on display, it will be a great benefit for the Museum patrons, providing another connection to one of the largest wars of American history. Alongside the B-17 that currently is on display in front of the Museum, it will show the story behind some of the most dangerous flying missions of the War.
“Putting those two planes on display will provide close access for the public to observe two famous airplanes,” Thompson said. “The role played by these planes is very significant in the history of World War II. The legacy of those who flew them can be preserved and their descendants can better appreciate the conditions under which their forefathers fought for their country.”
Currently, Museum visitors can take tours through the inside of the B-17. When the B-29 is finally restored, patrons may be able to do the same thing, and go inside a completely airworthy aircraft. Although the plane will be restored to perfect flying condition, it will never fly again.
Aviation High School students will be able to experience this connection. Scott Sluys, an AHS senior, wants to be an airline pilot after he graduates.
“With the help of the B-17 and the B-47,” Sluys said, “the B-29 will complete the chain in evolving aircraft, allowing the community and the students of the future AHS campus to watch the dramatic improvement in aircraft that occurred during the second World War.”
However, displaying only the aircraft would not tell this complete story. George Bowling, Jr. is another volunteer with the Museum of Flight. He helps to run the Living History section, which uses volunteers acting as WWII pilots to bring history to life. | aerospace |

With a new flight team at the helm to organise the day’s adrenalin-fuelled aerial entertainment, this year’s airshow display will include aircraft that have never displayed in Scotland before and a further four that are new to the National Museum of Flight.
Air Tattoo Event Services (ATES), a department of Royal Air Force Charitable Trust Enterprises (RAFCTE), who organise the Royal International Air Tattoo, have been appointed to organise this year’s flight programme. The ATES team has already secured an impressive line-up of aircraft for the airshow, which attracts around 10,000 visitors every year to the museum’s East Lothian home.
So far, the airshow’s aerial line-up this year includes Team Breitling with its Boeing Stearman bi-planes and beautiful, death-defying female wingwalkers, as well as an appearance by a Sea King helicopter similar to those piloted by Prince William in his search and rescue missions.
There is also the super-fast, brightly-coloured Hawker Hunter military jet, Seahawk and Seafire fighter planes, the Pitts Special high performance aircraft and the formation display team, Twister Duo. A first for Scotland is the event’s OV-10 Bronco, an aircraft originally designed for American use in Vietnam. Other aircraft displaying at East Fortune for the first time include a Bucker Jungmann bi-plane - the German equivalent to the Tiger Moth, a De Havilland Dragon, a Jet Provost training aircraft, and aerobatic display team the RV8tors.
On the ground, family entertainment includes The Clan BMX Stunt cycle team, Uprising from North Berwick with their skateboarding talents and Stepping Out, a 14 foot yurt for storytelling.
The event also features art and craft stalls, a fun fair, the Haddington Pipe Band, fire engines, and cockpits to view as well as a host of food and drink stalls.
All of the National Museum of Flight’s hangars will be open for visitors to explore with highlights including supersonic icon Concorde and Fantastic Flight, which is packed with state-of-the-art interactive exhibits and family fun.
The airshow at the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune takes place on Saturday, July 23, from 10am until 5pm. Tickets can be purchased online or at the gate. For more information visit www.nms.ac.uk | aerospace |

A generation growing up on a healthy dose of Star Trek and Star Wars need not be explained the meaning or origin of the above quotation.
The human race has always been fascinated by the vast sky and the space that lies beyond. For centuries we have dreamt of going into space and exploring it, knowing what it has in store. NASA nurtured and satiated our curiosity about space while also raising it manifolds in the process.
We have barely even scratched the surface when it comes to gaining knowledge and understanding the celestial bodies and the universe. However, we dream on. Now SpaceX has come forward with some amazing developments in the recent years that have opened up a whole new dimension, space travel!
Elon Musk, the founder, and CEO of SpaceX, is a name that is almost as popular as Stephen Hawking or Albert Einstein. Some might even say that he is the Tony Stark of our world! Well, the bottom line remains that Elon Musk, with his SpaceX, has brought us much closer to the dream of space travel than ever before.
SpaceX launches for NASA and what it means for Space Travel
After much delays and dodging many apprehensions and prejudices, SpaceX Dragon spacecraft recently successfully delivered a care package containing 5,800 pounds of cargo to the International Space Station (ISS). While this might not seem like much at first look, mostly because NASA has been providing supplies to those aboard the ISS for years, the mission being carried out by SpaceX, a private space travel technology development organization is a first. This opens the door towards further development.
SpaceX has already successfully tested their recycled rocket technology. This can prove to be a revolutionary technology in reducing space exploration cost and open up new horizons. It is only a matter of imagination how much space travel will benefit with further involvement of SpaceX.
Elon Musk is pretty serious about creating human colonies on other planets and the developments of SpaceX rocket and spacecraft technology promises a bright future ahead.
The recent successful delivery by Falcon heavy spacecraft has also created a major opportunity for NASA. The Falcon program was developed by SpaceX without utilizing any of taxpayer’s money.
In contrast, NASA developed its Space Launch System (SLS) for heavy payload at a cost of over $15 Billion that will cost the agency $1 Billion for every launch. This all goes from the tax payer’s money. SpaceX charges only $100 Million for every launch and thus reduces the cost by one-tenth. This massive reduction of the cost will certainly make it possible for NASA to redirect its fund towards research program that will allow them to make more breakthrough discoveries.
Space Travel of the future
It can be easily said that eventually, the human race is progressing towards making commercial space travel a reality. As of now space travel is restricted to the astronauts and is merely confined to sending people to the ISS for various research and studies. But there are active efforts to create Martian colony. At present, the plan is to have a one-way trip. However, successful testing of recycled rockets and other advanced technologies being developed by SpaceX at a lower cost than NASA means that they might as well open up the door to a world of possibilities and easy space travel can certainly be one of them.
It certainly sounds like a story right out of a science fiction novel, but the reality is far more interesting and amazing than fiction. The human race has progressed a lot from the days of sky gazing using various types of telescopes. Our deep space telescopes and probes have provided an enormous amount of knowledge about the world that remained a mystery for centuries. True, there is a lot more to know and we have not even started to know enough about space. But space travel and space exploration are certainly going to change that in the near future.
Future of mankind lies in space travel
There are many conspiracy theories claiming that human beings aren’t really the natives of the planet we know as earth. In an unknown past, beings from other planets visited earth and settled on the planet building colonies. While there is no real proof to support this theory, at least not anything that is accepted by the scientific community, the future indeed rests on the ability to travel through space.
However long it might take, the sun will die one day and earth will become inhabitable. Unless we develop the technology for successful space travel and search another planet in another solar system there is no way for the human race to continue living and propagate its knowledge. This is the only way for any advanced civilization to survive.
SpaceX certainly gives us hope that the day is not too far. We will certainly conquer the final frontier – space! | aerospace |

The results of the new work are illustrated in the included appendix.
The maintenance data examined for the selected components were inappropriate due to variations in failure mode identification, inconsistent reporting, or inaccurate informaton. Vibration, strain, efficiency, deflection, and temperature experiments were performed and the results were compared to previous experiments on the OH-58A, OH-58C, and UH-60A transmissions.

We can’t wait for you to join us on an airborne adventure!
Up there, you’re drifting on the wind, completely free to roam. At times you feel like you’re standing completely still, and it’s the world that’s turning beneath your basket. It’s a magical moment to share with a special someone and an unforgettable gift.
A hot air balloon flight is an unforgettable experience whenever and wherever you choose to fly. With a balloon to carry you, an experienced pilot to guide you and the great Namib Desert to amaze you, all you need is an appetite for adventure.
A hot air balloon’s direction of flight is entirely dependant on the wind – this means that no two flights are ever the same. Though we can assure, whether you will be flying over the desert, see where it meets the sea or drift closer to the mountains of the Namib, every moment will be a thrill. With luck, a few animals may even be spotted during the flight.
Whether it’s the sunset you will be viewing, sunrise or a clear blue sky, one thing’s for sure – this is a story you’ll be telling for years to come. | aerospace |

This photomosaic of the planet Mercury was assembled from individual high-resolution images taken by Mariner 10 shortly before closest approach in 1974. The sun is shining from the right, and the terminator is at about 100 degrees west longitude. Crater Kuiper, named after astronomer Gerard P. Kuiper, can be seen just below the center of the planet's illuminated side. The landscape is dominated by large craters and basins with extensive plains between craters.
The southwest quadrant of Mercury is seen in this image taken March 29, 1974, by the Mariner 10 spacecraft. The picture was taken four hours before the time of closest approach when Mariner was 198,000 km (122,760 mi) from the planet. The largest craters seen in this picture are about 100 km (62 mi) in diameter.
Mercury Close Up
The small, bright halo crater (center) is 10 km (6 mi) in diameter. The prominent crater further left, which has a central peak, is 30 km (19 mi) across. The darker, lightly cratered area (upper left) may be an ancient lava flow. Mercury's surface is similar to that of Earth's moon, where a history of heavy cratering is followed by volcanic filling.

The AVIC Centre for Structural Design and Manufacture is a long-running partnership with China’s leading civilian and military aviation supplier, which has provided more than £6 million (US$7 million) to research cutting-edge aerospace materials. The second centre is run jointly with BIAM, a subsidiary of another state-owned aerospace and defence company, which has contributed £4.5 million for projects on high-performance batteries, jet engine components and impact-resistant aircraft windshields. The centres’ stated goals are to advance civilian aerospace technologies, but critics have repeatedly warned that the research could also advance China’s military ambitions.
Now Imperial College has confirmed the two centres will be shut by the end of the year after the rejection of two licence applications to the government’s Export Control Joint Unit, which oversees the sharing of sensitive research with international partners. The closures follow a warning in July by the heads of MI5 and the FBI of the espionage threat posed by China to UK universities, and highlight the government’s hardening attitude on the issue.

Yet the rest of the world is in tow.
Thi week the United Arab Emirates and China successfully deployed their missions to orbit Mars. No one can doubt Space X, headed by Elon Musk, controls the airwaves with the latest and greatest in missions to outer space and the branding which accompanies such missions, but the Hope probe is living up to its mónica as the UAE is only the fifth spacefaring entity to do so after the US, the Soviet Union, Europe and India.
As the BBC reported, “the spacecraft, which left Earth seven months ago, had to make a braking manoeuvre to be sure of being captured by Mars’ gravity. UAE scientists can now look forward to studying the planet’s atmosphere. Their satellite carries three instruments that will observe, among other targets, how neutral atoms of hydrogen and oxygen – remnants from Mars’ once abundant water – leak into space.”
There is a clear difference to how Space X generates its buzz, Space X puts humans at the centre of everything they do, and we as humans are drawn to other humans. That doesn’t mean what the UAE has achieved this week is diminished at all, their mission will be vital to our understanding of what the red planet has in stall for humans once our time to travel there has come.
The second nation to take Mars by storm this week was China. It’s fair to say Chinese space exploration doesn’t hit the front pages in Western media, but their ability to move quick at a State level, ensures their space programme is moving at pace. As Space.com reported, the China’s Tianwen-1 Mars probe “launched on July 23, 2020 and is China’s first independent interplanetary mission. It arrived in orbit around Mars after a 202-day, 295-million-mile (475 million kilometers) journey through deep space. It snapped an image of the Red Planet during its final approach.
The spacecraft consists of both an orbiter and a rover. The landing attempt for the rover is not expected until May or June, giving the orbiter time to image and map out the intended landing site in a region known as Utopia Planitia.”
One thing is for certain, the more countries invest in Space exploration, the more eyes will be placed on each mission. The more the world can get behind Mars exploration, the more missions we’ll have to feed back information on what it will actually be like for ourselves living on Mars. | aerospace |

After the news of the company's shutdown broke out, Virgin Orbit's stock fell more than 50% in after-hours trading. Virgin Orbit goes public in December 2021 at an offering price of close to $10 per share.
Virgin Orbit primarily uses modified 747 jets to launch rockets from the air. But the company's most recent mission failed when a problem during launch caused the rocket to miss its intended orbit and crash into the ocean.
In early November last year, Virgin Orbit announced its third-quarter results. The company ended the quarter with $71.2 million in cash on hand. Virgin Orbit reported revenue of $30.9 million for the quarter, with an adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) loss of $42.9 million due to continued expenses. | aerospace |

TO CONTAIN ALIEN LIFE FORMS, MAYBE?: Textura Design, a home-based startup in West Seattle, since late 2002 has produced a humble but clever device for resealing plastic bags, called Clip-N-Seal. The soft plastic rod-and-clip device has attracted attention from dairies, manufacturers and the military, among other customers.
Now the Clip-N-Seal (three for $4.99, available in four sizes) may be going into outer space, says company founder D.L. Byron, 38. The company shipped a dozen 40-inch-long Clip-N-Seals, at $7 apiece, to NASA earlier this month.
NASA won’t say when, or whether, or how the clips will be used. The next opportunity they’ll have to fly is aboard the shuttle Discovery when it launches sometime between July 13 and July 31– depending on weather conditions — to resupply the International Space Station. “All NASA will say is they’re for a large object,” Byron said.
The British Antarctic Survey is also considering the clips for use on its next mission. “Not bad for something we invented to keep potato chips fresh,” he said.
Excellent. It’s good to see good products go places. Like Space. | aerospace |

Flight Attendant Salary 2024: What to Expect
Welcome to the world of flight attendants, or as we like to call ourselves, the “Salary Crew.” As someone who has been a part of this industry for over a decade, I have seen the ups and downs of the job, including the ever-changing salary trends. In this article, we will dive into the projected Flight Attendant Salary for 2024 and what factors may affect it. So buckle up and get ready for some valuable insights!
What is a Flight Attendant?
Before we jump into the salary aspect, let’s first understand what a flight attendant actually does. A flight attendant, also known as a cabin crew member, is responsible for ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers on a flight. They are trained in emergency procedures, first aid, and customer service to handle any situation that may arise during a flight.
Being a flight attendant is not just about serving drinks and snacks, it is a demanding job that requires long hours, irregular schedules, and the ability to handle stressful situations with grace. However, it also comes with its perks, such as traveling to different destinations and meeting people from all walks of life.
The Current Flight Attendant Salary
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual wage for flight attendants in 2020 was $56,640. This means that half of the flight attendants earned more than this amount, while the other half earned less. However, this number can vary greatly depending on the airline, years of experience, and location.
For example, a flight attendant working for a major airline in a high-cost city like New York or Los Angeles can earn upwards of $80,000 per year, while a flight attendant working for a regional airline in a smaller city may earn around $30,000 per year.
The Projected Flight Attendant Salary for 2024
Now, let’s get to the main topic of this article – the projected Flight Attendant Salary for 2024. According to a report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the demand for air travel is expected to double by 2037. This means that airlines will need more flight attendants to cater to the increasing number of passengers.
As a result, the demand for flight attendants is expected to grow by 10% from 2019 to 2029, which is faster than the average for all occupations. This growth will also lead to an increase in the salary of flight attendants.
According to a survey by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), the projected salary for flight attendants in 2024 is expected to be around $65,000 per year. This is a significant increase from the current median annual wage of $56,640.

The Kevin T. Crofton Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science degree in aerospace and ocean engineering. Students may major in either aerospace engineering or ocean engineering. These majors share many course requirements, because the two curricula cover a broad range of common interests and offer a wide range of technical electives. Students may double major—aerospace with ocean engineering or ocean with aerospace engineering. The Department also offers a minor in naval engineering, which is open to non-AOE students.
The undergraduate programs' educational objectives are that graduates will combine their undergraduate education and post-graduation experience to:
- Be successful in entry-level professional positions or in graduate study in aerospace and ocean engineering.
- Apply the theoretical, experimental and computational fundamentals of science and engineering to professional practice, advanced study and continuing professional development.
- Apply their broad understanding of fluid dynamics, vehicle dynamics and control, propulsion and structures to design and synthesis of aerospace or ocean systems in a team environment.
- Communicate their work effectively to both experts in their field and non-technical individuals.
The department's curricula are vehicle oriented, with an emphasis on propulsion, aero/hydrodynamics, stability and control, vehicle performance, vehicle structures, and energy and the environment. A year-long capstone design experience in the senior year uses the group design process to both better simulate the way design is done in the real world and promote the benefits of collaborative learning.
AOE graduates have been highly successful in the aerospace and ocean fields. About 15% of our graduates continue their studies in graduate school, while most of the rest find excellent employment opportunities in the aerospace and related industries and in the shipbuilding, naval engineering, and ship design fields. Some also choose to go into related fields such as automotive engineering, structural engineering, environmental engineering, as well as into professions such as law or medicine.
AOE is home to a number of unique facilities, including Stability, Open-Jet, Boundary-Layer, Low Speed, Transonic, Supersonic, and Hypersonic Wind Tunnels; the Advanced Propulsion and Power Laboratory (APPL), Space@VT building, the Kentland Experimental Aerial Systems Laboratory (KEAS), the Hydro-Elasticity Laboratory, Hydrodynamics Laboratory, Marine Robotics Laboratory, and Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) / Aerospace and Ocean Engineering (AOE) Teaching and Research Laboratory.
The department encourages students to seek internships and to participate in the Cooperative Education Program, which gives qualified students valuable industrial experience while working toward their engineering degrees. The department's required design courses often include multidisciplinary projects.
The Aerospace Engineering and Ocean Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. The department also offers programs of study leading to M. Engr., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees.
AOE students must meet all Pathways requirements and only certain "free" electives and courses designated as "P/F Only" may be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. Lists of approved electives including technical, math, Liberal Education, and other electives are available on the department's web page: www.aoe.vt.edu/undergrad/undergrad-advising/index-undergrad-advising.html.
The graduation requirements in effect during the academic year of admission to Virginia Tech apply. Requirements for graduation are listed on checksheets. Students must satisfactorily complete all requirements and university obligations for degree completion. The university reserves the right to modify requirements in a degree program.
Please visit the University Registrar's website at https://www.registrar.vt.edu/graduation-multi-brief/checksheets.html for degree requirements.

The 28-hour countdown operation of the PSLV-C38/Cartosat-2 series satellite mission started on Thursday at 05:29 hours IST.
This comes after the Mission Readiness Review Committee and Launch Authorisation Board cleared the countdown on Wednesday.
Current Affairs : The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is gearing up to launch its Cartosat-2 series satellite for earth observation along with 30 co-passenger satellites.
Isro’s workhorse, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), in its 40th flight (PSLV-C38), will carry these satellites into orbit. The rocket is scheduled to take off from the Sriharikota space port near Chennai at 9.29 am on Friday.
The rocket will carry the 712 Kg Cartosat-2 series satellite and 30 co-passenger satellites, together weighing about 243 Kg at lift-off, into a 505 Km polar Sun Synchronous Orbit.

The documentary made me nostalgic, because when I was a wee lass, I was enchanted with outer space. In fact, one of my childhood career goals was to become a robotics engineer for NASA (this was before I realized I was hopeless at math). I still hope that one day NASA will contract me to design rad decals for their next probe or rover.

There are many items that people use on a daily basis that are considered hazardous materials when packed to fly on a plane. Flyers should know that e-cigarettes, vaping devices, and spare lithium batteries should NOT be packed in their checked luggage. Spare lithium batteries – the kind that are found in personal electronic devices and back-up charging devices – can only travel in carry-on baggage.
Electronic devices powered by lithium batteries can catch fire if they are damaged or have exposed electrical terminals. Devices that smoke or catch fire are much easier to extinguish in the cabin than they are in the cargo hold. So, the FAA recommends that passengers keep cell phones and other devices nearby in the cabin, so they can quickly access them, if necessary.
However, even in carry-on baggage, spare lithium batteries should be protected from damage or short circuiting. Ensuring that the batteries are packed properly and are not touching or bumping something that could potentially cause them to spark. If batteries are not sealed in manufacturer packaging, the battery terminals should be protected by covering them with tape and placing them in separate bags to prevent short circuits.
Some of the other common toiletries that passengers may plan to pack, but that could be hazardous include: aerosol cans that may contain hair spray, deodorant, tanning spray or animal repellant; nail polish; artist paints; and glues.
For more detailed information about materials that should not fly, visit the FAA’s Hazardous Materials Safety website. ( https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ash/ash_programs/hazmat/ )
To be on the safe side, when in doubt, just leave it out!
(Image and article shared from today’s FAA Newsletter)
“Each holiday season for the past several years, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ( https://www.faa.gov ) has received reports from pilots who said they were distracted or temporarily blinded by residential laser-light displays.
The FAA’s concerns about lasers – regardless of the source – is that they not be aimed at aircraft in a way that can threaten the safety of a flight by distracting or blinding the pilots ( https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/lasers/ ) . People may not realize that systems they set up to spread holiday cheer can also pose a potential hazard to pilots flying overhead.
So if you’re going to install a holiday laser-light system, please make sure the lights are hitting your house and not shining up into the sky. It may not look like the lights go much farther than your house, but the extremely concentrated beams of laser lights actually reach much further than most people think.
If the FAA becomes aware of a situation where a laser-light display affects pilots, we start by asking the owner to adjust them or turn them off. However, if someone’s laser-light display repeatedly affects pilots despite previous warnings, that person could face an FAA civil penalty.”
“The July/August 2017 issue of FAA Safety Briefing explores several key facets of the new BasicMed rule, which offers pilots an alternative to the FAA’s medical qualification process for third class medical certificates. Under BasicMed, a pilot will be required to complete a medical education course every two years, undergo a medical examination every four years, and comply with aircraft and operating restrictions.”

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the general aviation (GA) community’s national #FlySafe campaign is designed to educate GA pilots about the best practices to calculate and predict aircraft performance and to operate within established aircraft limitations.
Pilots and Medications
Stuffy nose? Fever? Combine these symptoms with over-the-counter meds, and you could have a recipe for disaster in the pilot’s seat.
Just like any other decision that you must make when you fly, you should know all the facts before you take any over-the-counter medications:
If you must take over-the-counter medications, please follow these tips before you decide to fly:
When your doctor prescribes a medication, ask about possible side effects and the safety of using the medication while flying. Many doctors do not think about the special needs of pilots when they prescribe medication, so it’s important for you to ask questions.
When your pharmacy fills the prescription, let the pharmacist know you are a pilot. Pharmacists are experts in the side effects of medication and can often provide important advice. You’ll also want to ask about the potential for drug interactions with any over-the-counter medications you are taking now or plan to take in the future.
What is Loss of Control (LOC)?
An LOC accident involves an unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight. LOC can happen when the aircraft enters a flight regime outside its normal flight envelope and quickly develops into a stall or spin. It can introduce an element of surprise – the “startle factor” — for the pilot.
Message from FAA Administrator Michael P. Huerta:
The FAA and industry are working together to prevent Loss of Control accidents and save lives. You can help make a difference by joining our #Fly Safe campaign. Every month on FAA.gov, we provide pilots with Loss of Control solutions developed by a team of experts — some of which are already reducing risk. I hope you will join us in this effort and spread the word. Follow #FlySafe on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I know that we can reduce these accidents by working together as a community.

The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC) is comprised of government and industry experts who work together to use data to identify risk, pinpoint trends through root cause analysis, and develop safety strategies to reduce the risk of GA accidents. The GAJSC combines the expertise of many key decision makers in the FAA, several government agencies such as NASA and stakeholder groups. Industry participants include the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, Experimental Aircraft Association, General Aviation Manufacturers Association, Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association, National Business Aviation Association, National Air Transportation Association, National Association of Flight Instructors, Society of Aviation and Flight Educators, and the aviation insurance industry. The National Transportation Safety Board and the European Aviation Safety Agency participate as observers. (http://www.gajsc.org)
“The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today issued a final rule (PDF) that allows general aviation pilots to fly without holding an FAA medical certificate as long as they meet certain requirements outlined in Congressional legislation.
“The United States has the world’s most robust general aviation community, and we’re committed to continuing to make it safer and more efficient to become a private pilot,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. “The BasicMed rule will keep our pilots safe but will simplify our regulations and keep general aviation flying affordable.”
Until now, the FAA has required private, recreational, and student pilots, as well as flight instructors, to meet the requirements of and hold a third class medical certificate. They are required to complete an online application and undergo a physical examination with an FAA-designated Aviation Medical Examiner. A medical certificate is valid for five years for pilots under age 40 and two years for pilots age 40 and over.
Beginning on May 1, pilots may take advantage of the regulatory relief in the BasicMed rule or opt to continue to use their FAA medical certificate. Under BasicMed, a pilot will be required to complete a medical education course, undergo a medical examination every four years, and comply with aircraft and operating restrictions. For example, pilots using BasicMed cannot operate an aircraft with more than six people onboard and the aircraft must not weigh more than 6,000 pounds. A pilot flying under the BasicMed rule must:
possess a valid driver’s license;
have held a medical certificate at any time after July 15, 2006;
have not had the most recently held medical certificate revoked, suspended, or withdrawn;
have not had the most recent application for airman medical certification completed and denied;
have taken a medical education course within the past 24 calendar months;
have completed a comprehensive medical examination with a physician within the past 48 months;
be under the care of a physician for certain medical conditions;
have been found eligible for special issuance of a medical certificate for certain specified mental health, neurological, or cardiovascular conditions, when applicable;
consent to a National Driver Register check;
fly only certain small aircraft, at a limited altitude and speed, and only within the United States; and
not fly for compensation or hire.
The July 15, 2016 FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act of 2016 directed the FAA to issue or revise regulations by January 10, 2017, to ensure that an individual may operate as pilot in command of a certain aircraft without having to undergo the medical certification process under Part 67 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, if the pilot and aircraft meet certain prescribed conditions outlined in the Act.
The FAA and the general aviation community have a strong track record of collaboration. The agency is working with nonprofit organizations and the not-for-profit general aviation stakeholder groups to develop online medical courses that meet the requirements of the Act.”
“Over the last year, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made great strides toward integrating unmanned aircraft – popularly called “drones” – into the nation’s airspace. The first big step took place last December 21, when a new, web-based drone registration system went online.
During the last year, the system has registered more than 616,000 owners and individual drones. As part of the process, applicants receive and must acknowledge some basic safety information. That means more than 600,000 drone operators now have the basic aviation knowledge to keep themselves and their friends and neighbors safe when they fly.
The FAA developed the automated registration system in response to a rule requiring owners of small unmanned aircraft weighing more than 0.55 pounds (250 grams) and less than 55 pounds (approx. 25 kilograms) to register their drones.
The rule and the registration system were primarily aimed at the thousands of drone hobbyists who had little or no experience with the U.S. aviation system. The agency saw registration as an excellent way to give them a sense of responsibility and accountability for their actions. The agency wanted them to feel they are part of the aviation community, to see themselves as pilots.”

“The FAA and #FlySafe, the general aviation (GA) group’s national safety campaign, aims to educate the GA community on the best practices to calculate and predict aircraft performance and to operate within established aircraft limitations.
What is a Flight Risk Assessment Tool (FRAT)?
FRAT is a long name for a handy tool that will earn your respect through its ability to help keep you safe. A FRAT helps you to identify the risk profile as you plan a flight. Factors such as type of operation, environment, aircraft, crew training, and overall operating experience are evaluated by the tool. This helps you determine if the flight falls in a low, medium, or high-risk category. More importantly, after seeing the data, you can develop risk mitigation strategies to ensure your safety as well as the safety of your passengers.
The General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC), a government/industry group that analyzes GA accidents and incidents, has found that improved risk assessment before and during a flight can significantly improve your chances of avoiding accidents and incidents. Although a FRAT tool cannot anticipate ALL hazards, it can help you recognize and mitigate the most common ones.
Where Can I Find a FRAT?
The FAA FAAST Team has developed simple, automated spreadsheets that run on Microsoft Windows or Apple operating systems. All you have to do is download the file at http://go.usa.gov/xkhJK. There are also many free FRAT apps available for your mobile device. The FAA hopes to roll out its own FRAT app in the near future.
The FRAT format is pretty basic: In the FAA version, VFR pilots will consider which of the 20 flight, pilot, and aircraft conditions apply to the upcoming flight. IFR pilots have 22 conditions to review. Each condition is assigned a numerical value. Simply click the YES box next to each condition that applies to your flight. When you are finished, the total value corresponds to a risk matrix chart. If you are uncomfortable with the level of risk identified, mitigate the risk by adjusting conditions to improve your chances for a safe flight.
When you begin to use a FRAT, you’ll probably think of additional potential hazards. That’s to be expected and we encourage it because it means you are taking an active role in your Safety Risk Management. Think of each hazard as a potential liability. When you offset those liabilities with assets – good decisions – you will reduce or eliminate hazards and keep your safety account in balance.
What is Loss of Control?
A Loss of Control (LOC) accident involves an unintended departure of an aircraft from controlled flight. LOC can happen because the aircraft enters a flight regime that is outside its normal flight envelope and may quickly develop into a stall or spin. It can introduce an element of surprise for the pilot.
Contributing factors may include:
Poor judgment or aeronautical decision making
Failure to recognize an aerodynamic stall or spin and execute corrective action
Intentional failure to comply with regulations
Failure to maintain airspeed
Failure to follow procedure
Pilot inexperience and proficiency
Use of prohibited or over-the-counter drugs, illegal drugs, or alcohol…”
“The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today issued a final rule that overhauls the airworthiness standards for small general aviation airplanes. This innovative rule will reduce the time it takes to move safety enhancing technologies for small airplanes into the marketplace and will also reduce costs for the aviation industry.
“Aviation manufacturing is our nation’s top export and general aviation alone contributes approximately $80 billion and 400,000 jobs to our economy,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “The FAA’s rule replaces prescriptive design requirements with performance-based standards, which will reduce costs and leverage innovation without sacrificing safety.”
FAA’s new Part 23 rule establishes performance-based standards for airplanes that weigh less than 19,000 pounds with 19 or fewer seats and recognizes consensus-based compliance methods for specific designs and technologies. It also adds new certification standards to address general aviation loss of control accidents and in-flight icing conditions.
“The rule is a model of what we can accomplish for American competitiveness when government and industry work together and demonstrates that we can simultaneously enhance safety and reduce burdens on industry,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
The rule responds to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the Small Airplane Revitalization Act of 2013, which directed the FAA to streamline the approval of safety advancements for small general aviation aircraft. It also addresses recommendations from the FAA’s 2013 Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee, which recommended a more streamlined approval process for safety equipment on small general aviation aircraft.”

“If you’re one of the lucky people who gets a drone as a holiday present, the Federal Aviation Administration wants you to know how to fly it safely. The agency has released a new video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0dogXd89fs&feature=youtu.be) reminding everyone of the rules and regulations that safe drone pilots must follow.
As the video shows, before you fly your drone outdoors, the first thing to do is register it at www.faa.gov/uas. If you’re going to operate according to the model aircraft rules, you’ll receive one identification number to apply to all your drones. Non-modelers must register each of their drones individually.
The video also stresses that whether you fly your drone for recreation or business, safety is everybody’s responsibility. And that means following the rules:
Don’t fly over people and respect the privacy of anyone on the ground.
Don’t fly near other aircraft or in restricted airspace, such as “No Drone Zones.”
The video also tells you how to get the FAA’s B4UFLY smartphone app that provides the latest information about airspace restrictions wherever you intend to fly your drone.
The bottom line: Safe flying is what smart drone pilots do.” | aerospace |

Another auto accident where the vehicle hit a power pole and the result was a brush fire.
And the resulting very long parking lot on Laguna Canyon Rd.
I'm in Rim Rock Canyon so we couldn't see the fire. This aircraft and two smaller planes kept flying over so I finally got the camera out and took this photo.
Considering the thousands at the beach and stuck in the canyon there are probably hundreds of videos of this aircraft dropping retardant or flying really low.
Update: The fire was caused by a pine tree falling onto an eucalyptus tree and both trees falling onto power lines which then started the fire. How's that for a chain reaction? | aerospace |

The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 space probes, launched in the 1970s, has successfully explored the outer planets Jupiter and Neptune. Now both are exploring the interstellar space, more than 15 billion kilometers away from Earth.
The Cassini space probe visited Saturn's system, and its Huygens lander touched down at Titan in 2005, bringing us tons of data which will take years to analyze. Yes, you heard that right. We have taken terrestrial pictures from the surface of Titan, which is a moon of Saturn, which is a gas giant planet really far away. Don't forget this gorgeous picture of Earth (tiny dot on the lower right with the arrow) taken from Saturn.
|View of Earth from Cassini, Saturn in foreground|
In 2015 the New Horizons space probe will pass by dwarf planet Pluto, and subsequently enter the Kuiper belt at the outer edge of the Solar System for another 10 years before its nuclear power runs out. The data we receive from the probe will lead us to discovery of countless findings, bringing our understanding of the universe to a more complete picture, while most likely raising many new questions altogether.
These are costly missions ultimately aimed at exploring the outer worlds. I shudder to think what would happen if these missions never happened due to a launch explosion..... | aerospace |

much possible for resumption of communications between base station and the
satellite. It also is possible to re-establish communications with the
previous satellites that left our solar system decades ago.
As it was explained before when the transmission reaches its destination the satellite
is not at that place anymore and it has moved miles away from the previous
place. Scientists do calculate the movements of Earth and satellite, the
signal that is sent reaches it, The signal tells the computer on board to
open memory and start recording the data; but by the time the transmission
is over and the signal indicates that I am done and "end of transmission"
the satellite is not there anymore. By referring to the formula, it shows there is
223 meters of
Wave-Shift in every second of transmission to Pioneer 10, which is
located only 12 hours (it is shown as 0.00137 of a light year) from Earth.
to see the formula).
If a transmitter or
a relay unit is aboard a plane or the transmission is sent to a relay satellite
that travels at the speed of 500Km/h in the direction of east to west on the
same latitude as Canberra, the wave-shift is minimized by almost two third and
is reduced to 89 meters, which is still receivable by the satellite. (Click
here to see
the formula). The transmissions are sent back by satellite can be received
by the ground facilities as the returned signal is not subjected to a
wave-shift because the satellite is rotating like the Earth does.
Corrections must be made to the way we transmit for a successful
result in transmitting signals.
Correction Transmitter can also be put on a train that travels at 150Km/h
from east to west on a straight line. (Click
see the formula). At this speed the wave-shift is reduced to 176 meters
from 223, at this rate we are still able to receive a fainted and distorted
transmission. The transmission is sent from the ground station to the moving
train, plain, or the stationery satellite and retransmitted to the
satellite. The signal after received by the satellite is processed and sent
back and 12 hours later is received by the ground station. The total time
for the transmission would take anything more than 24 hours. This is
important to know that there are other ways to reduce this wave-shift even
further, and it can be used re-establish communications with other satellites

The passengers will have broadband Internet access on the screens on the back of seats, as well as available for use on tablets and smartphones.
According to the company, British Airways is in advanced talks to roll out the service on its flights. The airline plans to use a new satellite that will possibly be launched in 2016. The company is planning to launch high speed Internet on flights that will be in line with the services pioneered by Gogo Inc in the US. Gogo Inc. also uses air-to-ground as well as satellite technologies to give its customers access to in-flight Internet connectivity.
The launch is likely to be a success as the US Internet market is quite similar to what is in Europe concerning flights. There are a lot of short flights over land so there is a market for the service. The network is planning to use airwaves that were set aside by the European Commission for the benefit of providing a content wide service.
The issue of pricing will be decided by the airlines. There is a feeling that the passengers may end up being charged according to capacity. Alternatively, they may be charged per flight or monthly in the case of frequent fliers. Whatever the case, experts are sure that the pricing will be in line with services given on land.
Although many people may think that satellite internet has just been discovered, they will be surprised to know that it has been available for over a decade on offer from providers such as Inmarsat but it has been too expensive for fliers to take advantage of and in addition the connections have not been satisfactory.
To launch the satellite to be used for the endeavor known as the S-band Europasat satellite, Inmarsat will be partnering with Hellas-Sat. Hellas – Sat is a well known European satellite operator and the S-band satellite was developed by Thales Alenia Space, a company owned by Thales and Finmeccanica. Inmarsat is planning to spend about $250 million on the ground network infrastructure for the service.

What Makes Russia’s New Tu-160M2 Blackjack Supersonic Bomber Special
The Tupolev Tu Russian: Belyy Lebed , lit. Blackjack is a supersonic , variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Entering service in , the Tu was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. The TuM modernisation programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December The first competition for a supersonic strategic heavy bomber was launched in the Soviet Union in In , the Soviet Union launched a new multi-mission bomber competition to create a new supersonic, variable-geometry "swing-wing" heavy bomber with a maximum speed of Mach 2.
The Tupolev design, named Aircraft M , with a lengthened blended wing layout and incorporating some elements of the Tu , competed against the Myasishchev M and the Sukhoi T-4 designs. Work on the new Soviet bomber continued despite an end to the B-1A and in the same year, the design was accepted by the government committee. The prototype was photographed by an airline passenger at a Zhukovsky Airfield in November , about a month before the aircraft's first flight on 18 December Production was authorized in , beginning at Kazan Aircraft Production Association.
The modernised aircraft were accepted into Russian service after testing in late The modernisation appeared to be split into two phases, concentrating on life extension with some initial communication—navigation updates, followed by 10 aircraft receiving new engines and capability upgrades after Metallist-Samara JSC had not produced new engines for a decade when it was given a contract in to overhaul 26 of the existing engines, by two years later, only four were finished.
On 16 November , a newly assembled TuM2 built of unfinished airframe of Tu was unveiled during the roll-out ceremony at the Kazan Aviation Plant , what signifies a restoration of certain production technologies such as electro-beam welding or titanium work reportedly lost after the termination of serial production in According to Dmitri Rogozin , the serial production of completely new airframes for the modernized TuM2 should begin in with deliveries to the Russian Air Force in The maiden flight of the newly assembled TuM2 reportedly occurred at the end of followed by the flight testing that started in January Pyotr Deynekin , performed its first public flight above the Kazan Aviation Plant on 25 January , during president Vladimir Putin 's visit.

Сначала обнажился женский торс украшенный упругими сиськами, а потом молодая блондиночка сняла с себя длинную юбку, оставшись только в черных сапогах, в которых потом пошла в спальню и продолжила позировать.
Our lovemaking was interrupted by a knock on the door. The screams of ecstasy turned to screams of pain as the knife shredded her pelvis. I am more than anything I like to bring enjoyment decent and generous people.
В далеке она увидела тот самый домик.
The TuM2 is a new upgraded variant of the late Soviet-era Blackjack, which was built in very small numbers before the collapse of the Soviet Union in The new date reflects a slight shift from previous Russian government statements, which had indicated the new production Blackjack would fly in with production starting in Many analysts, expect that the new Blackjack will become the backbone of the Russian strategic bomber force of the future assuming Moscow can find the funding for the project in the current economic climate.
The TuM2—though it more or less retains the same airframe—is practically a new aircraft under the hood. The new bomber will feature completely new mission systems and possibly be powered by upgraded versions of the existing Kuznetsov NK afterburning turbofan. The Russians plan to buy about fifty of the new Tu variant, however it is not clear if the 16 original model Tu airframes will be upgraded to the new standard.
Moscow can make do with the upgraded TuM2 for its strategic bomber force because unlike the United States Air Force, the Russian Air Force does not expect the massive aircraft to penetrate into enemy airspace to deliver its payload. Instead, the Tu—which is capable of speeds of over Mach 2. As such, stealth is not considered to be particularly important.
Indeed, one of the advantages of a highly visible strategic bomber is that it enables nuclear signaling. But the TuM2 is not likely to replace the long-serving Tupolev Tu Bear—the two bombers will likely operate side-by-side for decades to come.
As such—like the B—the Tu likely has many years of service left before it is eventually replaced. It will likely remain the primary Russian strategic bomber for at least two more decades.

They will provide you all instructions such as how to use an oxygen mask, which button you should use to move your seat, how and when to stand to de-board the flight, etc.
Connect to the accessibility desk of the United Airlines by calling on the customer service number of the airline, if you want to request a wheelchair for your journey. People with disabilities can reach out to this dedicated number and request special requirements.
United Economy seats with move able armrests are recognized by tail number, aircraft type, and location. Newly added Boeing aircraft in United Airlines has added move able armrests in the section of the United Economy, except for rows named as the bulkhead and an exit row. While purchasing the United Airlines flight ticket, you can check the fleet type. You can check the actual aircraft number before 48 to 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure.
Armrest release mechanisms depend on the type of seats used on the aircraft. All release mechanisms are hidden as a safety precaution so that unwanted release during take-off and landing can be prevented.
On some selected aircraft such as 787, 777, 767 United has wheelchair-accessible lavatory. On United’s single-aisle Airbus 320, Airbus 319, 757-300, 757-200, 737-900, 737-800, and 737-700 aircraft, lavatories are equipped with handrails and a privacy curtain.
If a wheelchair or cart can’t pass through the aircraft bin door, then airport personnel will ask you for directions on how to disassemble your equipment.

I have never believed in the 'fake Moon landing' theory; if terming it fake, we would only be belittling the effort of the courageous men and women associated with the Moon landing project.
Ever since the first human landing on the Moon, we have accumulated a great deal of knowledge of our only natural satellite. We have used such knowledge to great effect by launching further endeavors directed at the Moon, one of them being India's very Chandrayaan - I mission.

The event was marked by a parade, with the astronauts riding in a fleet of Chevrolet Corvettes that included examples of the sports car’s six design iterations.
The astronauts rode in Corvettes that corresponded with the time period of their space missions. Scott Carpenter, who followed Shepard into orbit in 1962, sat on the rear deck of a C1 Corvette convertible, while Susan Kilrain, a crew member from multiple missions in the space shuttle Columbia in the ’90s, rode in a C5.
Corvettes, because of some healthy shoves from General Motors and an enterprising Chevrolet dealer in Florida, have been an integral part of astronaut lore for decades. However, Mr. Shepard seems to have initiated the relationship when he arrived for astronaut training in April 1959 in his 1957 Corvette. After Mr. Shepard completed the 1961 mission, Edward N. Cole, a G.M. executive, rewarded him with a specially prepared 1962 model.
Enter the racecar driver Jim Rathmann, who opened a Chevrolet-Cadillac dealership near the Space Center in 1961. Seeing a publicity opportunity, Mr. Rathmann developed a special lease arrangement that put numerous astronauts behind the wheel of Corvettes.
Later, when three Apollo 12 astronauts were photographed atop their identical Riverside Gold coupes for a Life magazine feature story, space-program directors reportedly fretted that the Corvette/NASA tie-up could be construed as a product endorsement.
But the relationship, celebrated in film and print, has endured, as it did in Cocoa Beach on Saturday. | aerospace |

Do you need a license to fly a drone?
In the UK, it's not neccessary to have a license to fly a drone. However, if you are flying for business purposes i.e. using it to make money somehow, you are required to have a commercial drone license.
A Permission for Commercial Operations (PfCO) issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is obtained by doing a course and passing a practical and a theory exam. The theory side covers essential safety aspects involved with flying a small unmanned aircraft (SUA) in various types of airspace. The practical exam proves that you have demonstrated safe and controlled flight skills. You must also show proof of commercial drone insurance, which covers public liablty should anything go wrong.
If you just want to play with your new toy, fill your boots. Just remeber to use your noggin:
- DO make sure you know the latest rules
- DO be mindful of your own and other peoples safety
- DON'T fly near stuff (trees, powerlines, Heathrow Airport etc.)
- DON'T fly over private property (they won't appretiate that)
If you're considering using a drone for business purposes, you can either get a PfCO and have a go yourself or you could hire a professional. If you hire someone, make sure they have the neccessary qualifications, permissions and insurance in place to carry out a safe flight.

The French aeronaut, Jean Pierre Blanchard, took flight over the Walnut Street Prison in Philadelphia above a large crowd. He ascended in a hydrogen gas balloon, a popular balloon at the time. George Washington witnessed the launch of the balloon, too. That day he lit the fires of fascination with ballooning in Americans.
However, more than hot air balloons also flew in the skies over time. Several varieties of balloons took shape over the next 100 years. Airships inflated by hydrogen and shaped like cigars took to the skies. They were also called blimps. Their engines gave these balloons directional flight and speed.
By the 20th century, large airships with cabins carried passengers. The gas-filled giants eventually disappeared from the skies. Tragedies like the Hindenburg on May 6, 1937, where over a third of the 97 passengers perished when the airship caught fire helped to usher in a new era.
Today, hot air ballooning is enjoyed from the ground and the air. It’s also a scientific tool for weather and other research.
HOW TO OBSERVE BALLOON ASCENSION DAY
Plan a trip to a hot air balloon festival. In the United States, there are around 30 balloon festivals to choose from. Go to one or go to them all. You can find a comprehensive list at TownAndTourist. If you’ve been ballooning, be sure to share your photos and experiences. It’s sure a sight to see. From the preparation to the breathtaking launches, balloonists certainly provide an eyeful. And of course, memories for a lifetime. It’s a great way to #CelebrateEveryDay and be a part of the Celebration Nation. Be sure to share using #BalloonAscensionDay on social media.
NATIONAL BALLOON ASCENSION DAY HISTORY
National Balloon Ascension Day has been observed since at least 2011 to commemorate the first manned balloon launch in the United States on January 9, 1793……….[read more]

The EOS mini UAV wing configuration has changed. The new wing consists of 5 sections. The middle section of the wing can be changed depending on the UAV configuration. In VTOL configuration the wingspan is now 4,75 m and in fixed-wing configuration 4 m compared to previous 3,5 m. Moreover, there are modifications in the EOS UAV battery solution. As a result, external battery option is now available. It enables the use of batteries of different sizes and capacities. Also, a parachute module is available in both configurations. For the fixed-wing as a recovery option. For VTOL, smaller emergency parachute solution, to lower the risks.
STREAM C VTOL
STREAM C VTOL UAV is still in development phase but will be ready to enter the market in Q1 2020. The starting point for the design was to maintain the useful payload capacity (6 kg). In order to achieve this, the wingspan increased by 1 m (now 5 m instead of previous 4 m). Besides, the engine is replaced with a more powerful one.
Threod gimbals are also separate commercial products. They can be easily integrated into any fixed-wing UAV, multirotor, UGV, manned aircraft or any other observation platform. Most importantly, they deliver clear and stabilised imagery that satisfies the most demanding customer requirements. Above all, Cooled MWIR sensor detects vehicles at 15 km and humans at 9km. | aerospace |

Two media outlets in El Salvador have announced that they are going to use nonmilitary drones to cover the upcoming presidential election. The drones are to provide videos, photos and new perspectives of the Feb. 2 election for the 2014-2019 term, said Salvadorian newspapers El Diario de Hoy and La Prensa Gráfica.
While mainly – and infamously – known for military usage these days, the drone technology could revolutionize the work of photo and video journalists. Drones, also referred to as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), come in various shapes and sizes and accordingly, various potential applications. But what they all have in common is that they have no human pilot on board; instead, they are remotely controlled or steered by a computer.
Both Salvadorian newspapers will employ a quadcopter called DJI Phantom that measures about 14 x 14 inches. According to a graphic by La Prensa Gráfica, the vehicle comes with a high resolution camera and is GPS- and Wi-Fi-enabled, which makes it possible to watch the camera’s shots in real time from the ground. The drone can fly up to an altitude of 2,350 feet, which is higher than common model aircrafts can manage and yet closer to the “action” than a helicopter, points out Álvaro Sagrera, technological director at Grupo Dutriz, the media group La Prensa Gráfica belongs to. The vehicle’s four propellers make it very maneuverable and precise to control.
Taking all these characteristics into account, Gabriel Trillos, editorial director at Grupo Dutriz, said that drones are perfect to produce interesting, detailed bird’s-eye views from a distance, which could be especially useful “in situations where the physical safety of communicators would be at risk, as in police operations or mass events”.
El Salvador’s upcoming election will be the first event in the country for the drones to prove their usefulness in visual reporting. The Salvadorian drones already went through several rehearsals; to see some examples of drone-shot video material, click here.

This growth is buoyed by the continuing growth of emerging economic nations.Yes, we understand that companies like Airbus and Boeing (and GM and Chrysler and...) can't just throw in the towel. But, really.
Accordingly, Airbus projects that the world’s commercial aircraft fleet, including both passenger (from 100 seats to very large aircraft, VLA) and freighter aircraft, will grow from 14,980 at the end of 2006 to nearly 33,000 by 2026. While passenger traffic demand will nearly triple, airlines will more than double their fleets of passenger aircraft (with more than 100 seats) from 13,284 in 2006 to 28,534 in 2026.
The idea that thousands of new airplanes will be needed to fly people who will in no way be able to afford the cost of flying because that cost is so inextricably tied to the cost of petroleum is, well, just blatantly uninformed. | aerospace |

Earth’s magnetic field acts a barrier to the solar wind, forming our magnetosphere with a bow shock upstream that slows and deflects the supersonic plasma around it. However, this is a highly dynamic and non-linear process with many complicated feedback mechanisms. These result in various transient phenomena which can have localised and even global impacts on the magnetosphere affecting the energetic particles in the radiation belts, electrical currents directed into and through the top of the atmosphere, auroral processes and launching a cacophony of different ultra-low frequency waves analogous to sound. These impacts can severely impact on our space- and ground-based technology and infrastructure, resulting in technological, economic and societal repercussions known as space weather. My research career has focused on many of these dynamical processes, investigating their origins, properties and consequences.
Here are a few of the highlights of my research career so far.
- Observational discovery, 45-years after being proposed theoretically, that the boundary of Earth’s magnetosphere resonates like the surface of a drum when struck by impulses. Published in Nature Communications, this work was highlighted by NASA and covered by BBC, ABC Australia, USA Today, Scientific American, New Scientist, Xinhua and many more.
- Demonstrating that a novel form of citizen science, where high school students explore satellite data in the form of audible sound, can lead to unexpected scientific results — that decreasing-pitch “whistling” sounds occur following geomagnetic storm and are far more common that previously thought. This was highlighted by the Space Weather editor and NOAA, being covered by BBC, MSN, Forbes, IFL Science and more.
- The first comprehensive surveys of the occurrence, properties and impacts on our magnetosphere of fast jets of plasma which originate at Earth’s bow shock. These works were chosen as highlights of the NASA THEMIS mission.
- Invited member of two International Space Science Institute (Bern, Switzerland) teams. | aerospace |
