This is a question many ask, and not an easy one to answer. The reason for this question is that we don’t know. We have satellites that go above and beyond the earth to measure the distances, but these instruments are very expensive and far out of reach of most budgets. However, there is more than just a satellite that measures the distance between the United States and Russia.
For starters, you have to consider how fast the Earth moves and how fast the moon moves. When you put these two things together, you get a very fast moving planet. This is a lot of information to take in, so how can you compare Earth and Moon? Well, you can use an instrument called the Isochronometer.
AIs are used by scientists all over the world to measure the speed of the earth and the speed of the moon. In order to do this, they must track the motion of both objects at exactly the same time. How can you do this if you don’t have a satellite? You can’t. Therefore, you need to consider a satellite.
If you had a satellite that could tell you the exact distance between the United States and Russia, you would be able to determine the countries that are farthest from the United States by analyzing the data. These results would then be used to calculate the shortest distance between the US and any other place on earth. How do scientists analyze this data? By using mathematics!
Basically, every satellite has a linear navigation system built into it that will measure the distance between the Earth and every other place it has gone before. The distance between two points on earth is referred to as the angle of incidence. When the angle of incidence is plotted against the coordinates of the satellite, a straight line drawn from one point to the next is formed. Therefore, the measurement of the angle of incidence between the United States and Russia is used to calculate the minimum and maximum distances that a satellite can cover by itself.
To derive the value of the minimum and maximum distances, various other methods need to be applied. For example, if we know the radius of the satellites, the minimum and maximum distances can also be computed. In addition, if we know the orbital elements of the satellites, such as perigee, apogee, and perigee period, we can find the other positions that a satellite can cover at a given altitude, while keeping in mind that the elements of the orbit may not necessarily stay the same for every satellite. Thus, a new satellite can come up close to the Earth’s surface and still provide good data, while a new space probe can come up far out in space and thus much more accurate data.
The US and Russian GPS systems are not totally dependent on these calculations. The real data used to compute the distance is actually derived from radar scans, which are taken from satellites orbiting the Earth. These scans are recorded in a database that is updated regularly. By combining the information from the scanning and the information from the databases, a decent approximation to the true distance can be calculated. This is a relatively slow process (similar to taking a course in calculus) and the accuracy of the calculations is not as high as they are for automatic GPS devices.
So, what is the distance between the USA and Russia? The answer isn’t very important, but it does help us decide how fast our space exploration should go. Without going to the moon or to Mars, we have already explored the outer solar system with a GPS satellite. There’s plenty more of course, but this overview gives you a good place to start. | aerospace |

Category: News | Posted on Tue, February, 21st 2012 by THCFinder
A small private plane carrying a load of marijuana strayed into President Obama's no-fly zone over Los Angeles on Thursday.
The plane was forced to land at Long Beach Airport, after being intercepted by U.S. Air Force jet fighters, authorities said.
The four-seat Cessna entered the restricted airspace about 11 a.m. as the president was flying from Orange County to Los Angeles aboard Marine One, a military helicopter provided for his use.
Federal officials said the aircraft was never close enough to endanger Obama.
Air traffic controllers tried repeatedly to contact the single-engine Cessna, authorities said, but the pilot did not respond.
The plane was quickly intercepted by two F-16 fighters from March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, the report said.
After the Cessna touched down, federal agents and Long Beach police detained the pilot for questioning and found what law enforcement officials described as a large amount of marijuana on board the aircraft.
The pilot was taken into custody by Long Beach police, but his identity and other details were not released because of the continuing drug investigation.
Aircraft are typically prohibited from flying within 10 miles of any plane or helicopter carrying the president.

According to Dan Daniely, the president of the airport’s governing authority, the newly refurbished runway officially reopened as scheduled at precisely 6:00 a.m. last Wednesday.
The airport went on to log some 199 flights during the course of the day – with another 209 flights reported on Thursday. Danieley stresses that these figures are well in line with the airport’s average volume of 200-plus flights a day.
In the meantime, Danieley notes that work continues to proceed at full throttle on an expanded parking apron for the facility’s “transient” aircraft. He adds that this project is expected to wrap up on schedule today.
“While the transient parking apron is under construction, transient aircraft are being directed to alternate parking areas,” he adds. “Airport staff are meeting the pilots and passengers with golf carts and transporting them to the terminal building and providing assistance.
“With that, the project is on schedule and going exceptionally well.” | aerospace |

Blue Origin on Thursday completed the fourteenth test flight of its New Shepard rocket booster and capsule. Called NS-14, the profitable take a look at flight featured the debut of a brand new booster and an upgraded capsule.
Beyond the upgrades, CNBC has realized that NS-14 additionally marked one of many final remaining steps earlier than Blue Origin flies its first crew to space.
The flight was the first of two “stable configuration” take a look at flights, individuals acquainted with Blue Origin’s plans advised CNBC. Stable configuration implies that the corporate plans to keep away from making main modifications between this flight and the subsequent.
Additionally, these individuals stated that Blue Origin aims to launch the second take a look at flight inside six weeks, or by late February, and the first crewed flight six weeks after that, or by early April.
Blue Origin’s subsequent flight, NS-15, can even embody a take a look at of loading and unloading the crew, the individuals stated.
The firm declined CNBC’s request for touch upon its plans for New Shepard.
An formidable timeline
The New Shepard schedule is formidable, one of many individuals cautioned, with the purpose of flying each six weeks coming from the corporate’s prime management. Blue Origin’s prior mission NS-13 flew in October, after being delayed from September due to an influence provide situation – and it additionally got here after a nine-month hiatus between flights.
The individual additionally famous that one of many excellent duties for New Shepard’s NS-15 launch is to end software program qualification evaluate, which they stated is just not anticipated to be completed till late March and even April.
New Shepard is designed to carry individuals on rides previous the sting of space, reaching an altitude of greater than 340,000 toes (or greater than 100 kilometers). The capsule spends a number of minutes in zero gravity earlier than returning to Earth, with huge home windows to give passengers a view. Both the rockets and the capsules are reusable, with the boosters returning to land vertically and the capsules touchdown on management of a set of parachutes.
The NS-14 mission featured a number of upgrades to the crew capsule, together with an audio push-to-talk system for astronauts to speak to mission management, a brand new crew alert system panel at every seat, cushioned wall linings and sound suppression units to cut back noise within the capsule, and the addition of environmental methods such as air situation and humidity controls.
Blue Origin was based in 2000 by Bezos, and now has greater than 3,500 staff with its headquarters in Kent, Washington. To date, Blue Origin has launched New Shepard 14 occasions efficiently, and landed the rocket’s booster 13 consecutive occasions. The firm has constructed 4 New Shepard boosters in whole, the fourth of which launched on Thursday for the first time.
Its third booster has flown seven occasions consecutively and will probably be used to fly microgravity analysis payloads for NASA and different clients. New Shepard is a completely autonomous system, with no pilots on board.
Bezos personally funds Blue Origin’s improvement by promoting a part of his inventory in Amazon. While he has beforehand stated that he sells about $1 billion of Amazon shares yearly to fund the space firm, Bezos has not too long ago elevated his gross sales of Amazon inventory, cashing out more than $10 billion worth in 2020. | aerospace |

A hot air balloon trip has the ability to take individuals to brand-new heights and also let them experience the excitement of rising via the sky. There is little concern that this type of trip is just one of the most fantastic experiences offered, yet it is additionally a wonderful means to see the nation and feel the wind in your hair. These trips are a terrific journey as well as can be tailored to the requirements of the guest, according to his/her needs. If you want an enjoyable experience that many individuals appreciate, think about taking a hot air balloon ride. There are a number of various sort of warm air balloons, with various designs, capacities, and ages of participants. A hot air balloon flight, generally, is shorter than a standard flight and uses an extra personal experience. A warm air balloon is generally lighter-than-average as well as is made of nylon, strong material that will not tear or warp also when being thrust in the air for a hr or longer. A hot air balloon is typically used by expert pilots as a means of providing pupils a chance to find out how to fly, and it is also an excellent very first introduction to bigger airplane. Most pilots that operate warm air balloons will certainly offer guideline on exactly how to securely deal with the craft throughout the trip. Part of this training includes discovering how to fly the balloon and maintain it up, and also they utilize various approaches to make sure that the guests are at convenience throughout the flight. A warm air balloon is generally recognized for taking an unusual path via the sky, and it is done because the pilot needs to navigate the balloon with the numerous heights and channels. Learning just how to successfully fly a hot air balloon and also stay aloft takes time, method, as well as patience. When a pilot decides that it is time to establish the balloon’s burner, there are a number of choices available. He can begin the burning process by tilting the basket more detailed to the heater. The pilot might also pick to spark the heater with the nozzle on the lp storage tank itself. Once the burner is lit, the hot air balloon will certainly rise to an optimum elevation and the envelope will certainly get. As the balloon increases, the parachute released by the occupant also comes down as well as allows the parachute open as the parachute descends also. Hot air balloons normally operate at roughly thirty miles per hour. As the balloons rise, their rate ends up being greater, as well as the air in the basket itself begins to cool down, which creates the balloons to shed lift. The pilot will certainly need to find a way to bring the balloon pull back to earth before the travelers have a comfy landing. As this occurs, it is necessary that the pilots pay close attention to the hot air balloons weight and also identify the proper way to land the airplane. In today’s advanced globe, pilots and also guests have come to be familiar with the extreme setting of trip. This has made today’s hot air balloon trips a lot more dangerous than in the past. There are several tools on board that help in reducing the impact of landing. One of the most typical is the Parachute Stand, created to catch the balloon as it touches down to ensure that less power is invested in the landing. One more tool is the deployable parachute which really opens up as the parachute is released. This enables the balloon to glide gently as it touches down. | aerospace |

An asteroid sample is making its way toward Earth and is expected to land sometime this year. This sample, known as OSIRIS-REx, is the first of its kind to return from an asteroid, and scientists are excited to see what the sample will tell us about the history of our Solar System.
OSIRIS-REx was launched in September 2016 and has since traveled through space to the Bennu asteroid. Over the past three years, the spacecraft has collected dust samples that will be sent to Earth for analysis. Scientists believe that the samples could provide valuable insights on the formation and evolution of our Solar System.
Once the sample reaches Earth, it will be studied by scientists from all around the world. The asteroid sample will be stored in a NASA cleanroom facility while the scientists work to analyze its contents. They will be looking for evidence of organic material, including possible hints of life from billions of years ago.
The entire process is expected to last several months. After the data is analyzed, the results will be published in scientific journals and discussed among the scientific community.
For the average person, the most exciting part of the journey will be to witness the asteroid sample’s return to Earth. Footage captured by cameras mounted onboard OSIRIS-REx will be shared on social media platforms, giving people the chance to be part of this monumental moment in history.
With the asteroid sample due to arrive sometime this year, it’s not too early to get excited about this amazing mission. The knowledge and insight we will gain from OSIRIS-REx is sure to be tremendous, and its contributions to science will be remembered for years to come. | aerospace |

The aviation industry is a step ahead of the Paris Agreement because a unique international climate protection instrument will be introduced in 2020. EU’s changes to ETS legislation might jeopardise the international consensus.
The aviation industry’s historic climate protection undertaking
In autumn 2016, all 191 countries which are members of the International Civil Aviation Organisation ICAO pulled off a diplomatic coup by agreeing a global market-based measure to control CO2 emissions. ICAO’s Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) makes the aviation industry the first sector in the world to commit to specific climate targets. Growth-related CO2 emissions will be offset by special UN-supervised climate protection projects from 2020 onwards. The TUI Group has actively supported CORSIA from the outset.
EU should not jeopardise its success
Now the historic agreement is in jeopardy. The US administration is already questioning the merits of one international agreement after the next. Now the EU is fuelling criticism of CORSIA. The Council of Ministers and EU Parliament aim to include CO2 emissions from aviation in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) beyond 2020. That contradicts the recent worldwide compromise negotiated by the ICAO covering the carbon footprint of all international flights, which the USA has been involved in since day one. That’s why it makes sense to take the intra-European aviation industry out of the ETS from 2021 onwards, otherwise it faces the double burden of paying into both schemes and the international compromise will be jeopardised.
The aviation industry relies more than most other sectors on planning certainty and a stable legal framework. Airlines depend on receiving air traffic rights, and they need enough lead time to prepare for regulatory changes. It is clear that to support the aviation industry’s exemplary global market-based measure, the EU should put a stop to all its discussions about a special ETS path for the EU. | aerospace |

This variant was to see heavy losses due to its vulnerability to fighter attack. Consequently, by September 1942, a two-seat design with a rear gunner under a stretched canopy entered service.
In the desperate months early in the war, the Sturmovik was pressed into a fighter role. Outclassed by dedicated enemy fighters in dogfights, the Il-2 could successfully take on other Luftwaffe aircraft. The German 7.92 mm machine guns were ineffective against the heavily armoured Sturmoviks, close formations of Junkers Ju 87 Stukas, Junkers Ju 52, Heinkel He 111 and Focke-Wulf Fw 200 Condor bombers would be favoured targets.
Sturmovik pilots employed a brave defensive tactic, they would fly fast and low. This meant that the majority of ground fire would miss or ricochet from the armoured tub. If an enemy fighter closed in, they would slow down, letting the fighter overshoot and fly into the Il-2's firing range. | aerospace |

I tried to prepare myself for the nearly seven-hour ride by giving myself daily pep talks leading up to the big journey. Equipped with a box of Dramamine, I surprisingly was able to make it the entire flight without needing the meds. My biggest fear was that something would go wrong with the plane and I’d end up stranded hundreds of miles away from shore lost somewhere in the Atlantic. That day, Mother Nature must have been looking out for me.
However, not all flights have such a smooth landing.
As this Swiss airplane began to land, the weather had other plans for it…
This is called a touch and go around. If the plane had gone through with the landing, there’s no telling whether or not the pilot could have controlled it. It takes an experience crew to know what to do in these situations. Thank goodness for this impressive team! | aerospace |

Boeing should have addressed the issues after the Lion Air crash in Indonesia last October by grounding all 737 MAX aircraft ahead of any FAA concerns. The problems appear to relate to a policy by Boeing to avoid 737 pilots having to re-certify their credentials to qualify to fly the new MAX generation.
Aircrews were totally ignorant of the existence of the aircraft’s automated systems and were therefore unable to turn them off. It finally took Trump to issue an executive order to ground all Boeing 737 MAX Series with immediate effect – probably the best decision by him in his so far un-illustrious Presidency. | aerospace |

But it’s not just limited to that, GPS technology has also had a profound impact on the way we live and work. In this article, we will explore the ways in which GPS technology has changed our lives and the industries it has transformed.
GPS technology, short for Global Positioning System, was developed by the United States government for military use. It has since been made available to civilians and is now used in a variety of applications. GPS technology allows us to determine our exact location and provides us with turn-by-turn directions to our destination.
In addition to navigation, GPS technology has had a significant impact on a wide range of industries, including transportation, medicine, and agriculture. In this article, we will explore the ways in which GPS technology has changed our lives and the industries it has transformed.
The History of GPS Technology
The development of GPS technology began in the 1960s as a way for the US military to accurately navigate their ships and planes. The system was launched in the 1970s and became fully operational in the 1990s. GPS technology was initially only available to the military, but in the 1980s, it was made available to civilians.
How GPS Works
GPS technology works by using a network of satellites orbiting the Earth. These satellites transmit signals to GPS receivers on the ground, which then use the signals to determine their exact location. The GPS receiver must be able to receive signals from at least four satellites to determine its location accurately.
GPS and Transportation
GPS technology has transformed the way we navigate on the road, in the air, and on the sea.
In the automotive industry, GPS technology is used in navigation systems that provide turn-by-turn directions to drivers. GPS technology is also used in telematics systems that monitor the performance of vehicles and provide real-time data on things like fuel consumption and engine performance.
GPS technology has revolutionized the aviation industry, making it easier for pilots to navigate and land their planes. GPS technology is also used in air traffic control systems to track planes in real-time and prevent collisions.
In the shipping industry, GPS technology is used to track the location of ships and cargo. This allows companies to monitor the progress of their shipments and ensure they arrive at their destination on time.
GPS and the Medical Industry
GPS technology is also used in the medical industry to track medical equipment and monitor patient health.
Tracking Medical Equipment
GPS technology is used to track medical equipment, such as wheelchairs, hospital beds, and infusion pumps. This allows healthcare providers to quickly locate equipment when it’s needed and ensure it’s properly maintained.
Monitoring Patient Health
GPS technology is also used to monitor the health of patients, particularly those with chronic conditions. Wearable devices with GPS technology can track a patient’s location and provide alerts if they leave a designated area.
GPS and the Military
GPS technology was originally developed for military use and continues to be an essential tool for the military today. | aerospace |

Drones, Quadcopters and Prepping
For Survival When The SHTF
In this article I want to cover the specific uses a drone could have for us preppers if we find ourselves in the mist of a SHTF situation.
I use the title "Drones, Quadcopters and Preppers" because I want to be specific to their prepping uses as a very important piece of equipment for gaining information from which we can make life saving decisions.
Essentially a drone and a quadcopter are much the same thing - and they can be added to the military list of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
I prefer to call them drones, don't know why, it just seems an appropriate name for them..?!
Drones and UK Law
Firstly, the law - or more specifically the UK Law regarding drones:
As we stand at the moment - there isn't really any actual law regarding owning and flying a drone, with the exception of a couple of caveats:
- The drone can not be over 20kg in weight
- The drone cannot be used for commercial purposes
CREDIT: PHOTO: JOHN GILES/PA WIRE
There are also a few other common sense laws that you could easily get clobbered for, namely:
CCTV Code Of Practice:
The CCTV code of practice states that "it will be good practice for any domestic user of a drone to be fully aware of the potential privacy intrusion which the use of a drone can potentially cause, and to make sure they use the drone in a responsible manner".
download full CCTV code of practice PDF here.
Data Protection Law.
Where you are filming in a public area, within 50mtrs of a member of the public.
Conditions apply to flying near airports
BUT - we are talking SHTF and as such,
I don't think we need worry about that.
What are the benefits of a drone to us preppers?
Quite a few actually - A drone is going to give us the advantage of having our very own a spy in the sky. Making observing a situation easier than going out into a possible danger zone.
Why put yourself in danger when you can recce the whole area without the need to venture out.
Drones offer a facility known as FPV, first person view. Which mean you can see what the drone is seeing, in real time.
You see something dodgy, then guide your drone in for a closer look - all the time you are seeing actual footage of the situation as it unfolds.
With this sort of intel, it would make a bugging out decision far more easier - as would choosing the escape route of less resistance.
hand held - FPV monitor view
What to consider when choosing a drone
You only need to consider a couple of main things in order to have yourself a decent setup.
One thing to remember is that just about everything is manufactured in China these days - from your iPhone to your GoPro to your bushcraft knife.
As a side-note here:
The Bear Grylls range of Gerber knives and equipment right through to age old USA knife Manufacturers Shrade, all use China as there manufacturers.
So when it comes to electronics - theses no surprise that your drone will be fully made there as well.
It's no surprise as the quality of finished products are high, especially when value for money is concerned.
I got my drone direct from the suppliers in China, waited a couple of weeks for delivery and saved money!
So for this article I am using my own FUAV Seraphi FPV Quadcopter to film the benefits of using a drone for us preppers.
This drone fly's well and does what I want it to, with the advantage of being able to record footage as well as beam back exactly whats happening on the ground below.
These are the important factors to consider when buying a drone.
Especially for surveillance and to help with your safety in a bug out or SHTF situation:
- Flight Time:
Consider how long you will be in the air sending information back to yourself - realistically you will only be flying a 1/2 mile radius max. with a lot of hovering and rotating the drone for a 360 deg. view around your chosen area.
- Battery Life:
This is directly linked to your flight times, but governed by the life of the battery - look for a drone that offers a reasonable battery life and therefore a flight time of 25 - 30 mins.
- RTH - Return To Home:
Important feature if the drone goes out of sight - you may well have seen enough to make decisions and don't want the drone in the air for any longer than necessary.
This RTH feature will mean you can call your drone back to where it took off at the switch of a button.
- FPV - First Person View:
Essential - you can see whats happening in real time.
Whatever you point the drone camera at, you see on your hand held monitor screen - as you hover and move the camera around, your get the view as well.
These screens can be a hand held unit, like the one shown here.
It is also possible to have these as head worn glasses.
An important part of the drone if you want stable images to be transferred back to you.
Do not get a fixed axis gimble - your camera needs to be stable for good images.
A 2 axis gimble is the minimum - a 3 axis will give 100% stability.
Regardless of the position or angle of the drone, a gimble will move to keep a fixed position of the camera to give you good, clear views of your target.
- Camera Choice:
Most drones will accommodate a GoPro sized camera - the camera is used to capture footage and saved on a SD card for viewing later, but also serves as the medium to view the FPV.
For crystal clear footage you need to think about a high end GoPro.
I use a GoPro 3 and it works fine (12mpx)
Keeping your drone safe and preventing damage is another thing to consider - if you fly your drone into some you shouldn't then you will risk damage to the main propellers.
Always look for a drone that offers prop protection - ie: guards that go around the props and prevent them from touching anything solid.
Damaging a prop will compromise your ability to get the drone airborne and could even prevent it from flying completely.
Prop guards are removable, and some people leave them off for a more streamlined look.
They also add a more weight, but unless you are an experienced drone flyer, I would always fit them, just in case......
WHAT NOT TO DO
This was one of my early test flights.
short video of why you should always fit the prop guards to your drone...!
Note: no drones were harmed in the making of this video
Without a doubt a drone is a good investment, and there are a lot to choose from.
So long as you get the essentials you have the ability to plan ahead.
Although costly, I still think a drone is worth considering as a surveillance tool for your prepping kit.
Happy Prepping Folks.

REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT The "pre-flight removal" label has been used in the aviation industry for many years, and their logo allows flight crews and ground crews to determine the aircraft before taking off cables, pins, covers, wires, and wires connected to the aircraft. You can see the airplane connected to the airplane, wheel gear, ejection seat, and even missiles are marked with these labels, they use bright red to enhance the degree of warning to ensure its role!

I am here today to talk about whether the US government should increase NASA’s budget. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the federal government of the United States which is responsible for the civilian space program, aeronautics, and space research.
NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). The new agency was to possess a distinctly civilian orientation, encouraging peaceful applications in space science. Since its establishment, most US space exploration efforts are led by NASA, including the Apollo Moon landing missions, the Skylab artificial satellite, and later the space vehicle. NASA is supporting the International orbiter and is overseeing the event of the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System, and Commercial Crew vehicles.
The US spends about $590 billion on defense or 15%of the complete Federal budget. As compared, the best percentage of the Federal budget dedicated to NASA has been just over 4.5% in 1967. So why did the Federal budget allocation percentage drop by about 4%? After finally beating the Soviets to the moon in 1969, the keenness for space exploration dropped among the US population. The US dropped NASA’s funding percentage progressively to about 1% of the Federal budget in 1976, or by about 3.5% in one decade after the peak of the budget.
Another excuse for this decline in funding and enthusiasm was possible thanks to the recession from 1973 to 1975, causing Americans to focus more on the here and now instead of space exploration. But it’s been almost 50 years since we landed on the moon for the primary time. So, should the US raise the share of NASA’s Federal budget or a minimum of creating a thought to boost the budget gradually? Well, that’s a sophisticated question. The primary obvious obstacle is the issue of dedicating the funds to extend NASA’s budget.
Dedicating more funds to NASA would require either the allocation of funds from other agencies like defense or Medicare or increasing the taxes paid by the US public. The problem with this can be that decreasing the funds to any program or increasing taxes would harm some citizens of the United State and would cause conflict between supporters of either side.
The foremost likely way this might be pushed through is in an equitable compromise which might make the prospects of raising the budget much more appealing. Another potential obstacle may well be the identicality that took down the budget in the first place. All and everyone, increasing the take into account NASA would drastically improve the whole thing of mankind.
From increasing technological discoveries and boosting the economy, to space exploration and colonization to save lots of our race from eventual extinction when Earth eventually becomes uninhabitable for human life whether through global climate change or a collision with a natural object. Then we are going to be able to secure the long run for all humans who will proceed with us. Thank you.

The Director of Public Affairs, Ministry of Aviation, Mr James Odaudu made the disclosure in a statement in Lagos on Friday.
Odaudu explained that the Executive Director, NUC, Prof. Rasheed Abubakar gave the assurance after receiving the Concept Note documents from the Minister of Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika
Abubakar assured the Ministry of Aviation that it would expedite action on establishment of the university, adding that the commission would engage some professors to perfect the concept note for immediate approval.
He assured the minister that by the end of July, the ministry would be having a brand new university, the first of its kind in Abuja, first African University dedicated to aviation and aerospace study in the country.
The executive secretary noted that the value of such university could not be quantified and commended the minister for his boldness and courage.
“This aviation under your guidance, will be the first to show the way that we can support the establishment of specialised university that won’t only serve us but serve the African region and the International community,” he said.
Earlier, Sirika, while presenting the concept note, said the ‘African Aviation and Aerospace University Abuja’ would be dedicated to research and development of knowledge in Aviation and Aerospace.
The minister explained that the decision to establish the specialised university was informed by the need to fill some identified gaps in the growth and development of the aviation sector.
“When we took the lead in civil aviation, we identified and understood the gap in the growth and development of civil aviation in Nigeria in particular and Africa in general.
“We are deficient in research and development in civil aviation and aerospace technology and that has caused a lot of underdevelopment of the sector and made us to be backward,” he said.
Sirika further said the huge gaps and deficiencies had left the civil aviation sector to be managed with basic knowledge of either being a pilot or aircraft maintenance engineer.
He added that the situation had left no one going into research and development to understand the civil aviation and aerospace industry to grow it for their own betterment and leverage on the sector.
Sirika said this could also recreate the economy, improve the wellbeing, add to the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and most importantly, expand knowledge horizon of Nigerians.
“We have been working three to four years now into this and we developed a concept note based on the advice by Executive Secretary NUC for critique.
“I believe the concept note will fast track the process of setting up the university. We come up with concept note of what will be the focus of this university,” he explained.
He added that the potential of this university to serve the market of civil aviation and aerospace within the continent could not be overemphasized, adding that once the university took off, a lot would happen which would change the dynamics.
Sirika expressed gratitude to the executive secretary and his team for guiding the process leading to the submission of the concept note and the assurance that it would be expeditiously concluded.
Sirika was accompanied by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Directors and Heads of Agencies. (NAN) | aerospace |

Something about soft skin around spinning propellers doesn’t make me comfortable. I’ve seen the YouTube video where the Phantom is used as a very efficient blender. Granted I think the props may have been changed for carbon fibre rather than plastic, but still.
My alternative was to purchase the WaterStrider. Not that I intended to use this to land on the water, but I thought it would help out when landing on the boat’s unstable surface. I feel like the Phantom can tip quite easily on landing so I wanted to help it out. My first impressions of the Strider were that it was larger than I thought, and the floating pads looked GPS receivers. My second and final impression was that it is a good idea, but certainly poor execution.
I decided to have another try. I pushed Casper a little higher this time to increasingly worrying effect. This is clearly not a useful aid for me! The wind was less than 10kt and represented ‘normal’ conditions on the reef. Perhaps it performs better with no wind at all, but that is unrealistic in the marine environment for which I understand it has been designed. So back to the bare legged Casper. Sorry that I don’t have a video to share of this, but there is no way I want to re-enact it for you!
One bonus of the timing of this particular trip was that DJI released a new (free) flight planning app about two weeks ago – DJI GS Pro. It is a massive improvement on Litchi, which is the app that others had recommended I purchase. For survey purposes, I quickly found out that Litchi was near useless but I guess it was the best available for programming Phantoms. All my other drones fly with the pixhawk flight controller so I am used to programming with Tower (Android App) and Mission Planner (desktop), so I found the Phantom options seriously lacking. Having said that, the GS Pro app does a pretty good job and I think will only improve in the future. Here’s some of what we learned:
- A mission angle of 0deg means that the craft will always face easterly during the flight. It will fly forwards and backwards to keep it’s angle. At 180deg it will face west, and at 90deg it will face north. There is a bug such that it is not possible to fly at an angle anywhere between 270deg and 360deg. It is therefore not possible to fly with the drone and camera facing in a SE direction.
- To get the best mosaics, try to keep the survey to a square or rectangle shape, and make sure you have at least four runs.
- To minimise sunglint, fly between NW and SW in the morning, and between NE and SE in the afternoon. Except of course you can't fly SE at the moment using GS Pro... Choose whichever angle is most efficient between these brackets.
- Unless it is overcast, tilting the camera to about 15deg off nadir (while flying with your back end to the sun) significantly reduces glint. Make this angle even more oblique closer to midday. You can change the angle mid-flight to keep the glint away from the center of the image.
Things that need to be fixed in the app that I'll send to DJI :)
- Need to be able to type values in the different parameter fields rather than just using a slider bar. It was super hard to get the slider in exactly the right spot. A difference of just one degree in the flight angle could result in a whole extra minutes’ worth of flight.
- Add the ability to upload GPS or shapefile data to define mapping areas
- Fix the angles of flight between 270o and 360o
- Have an arrow on the flight lines when planning to show which way the craft will be facing
- Have an ‘undo’ button
- When sending the mission to the craft, minimise this information screen so it’s possible to see the map view behind. This would allow the pilot to manually fly to the start point of the survey, which is far more time efficient than flying at the survey pace.
- Every now and then it would stop taking photos during a survey for no apparent reason
- Time taken to upload the mission to the craft is variable. Sometimes it times out and the app needs to be closed and re-started
- Ability to flip which end the survey starts/finishes at
- Ability to switch to video
- Upon mission completion, it was curious that when pressing the photo button on the remote controller, the craft would continue to take photos at a regular time interval all the way home. This was actually kind of useful even though it felt like a bug
- At the end of the mission, the map, camera view, and telemetry should still be visible and updating – was otherwise having to pause the mission just before the end of the flight to keep this information on screen.
- Ability to visualise multiple flight plans at a time so it's possible to see if the areas overlap
- No auto zoom to the flight path
- Show gimbal angle with telemetry within the app
- Clearer scale bar - this was super hard to see over the imagery
- Better imagery and/or ability to upload your own
- Keep the blue bounding box of the survey area completely transparent
- Use the term landscape or portrait when referring to image capture orientation rather than parallel or perpendicular to flight path
After this trip I finally got around to creating a gallery of some of the cool shots I have been lucky to capture since I started flying drones. Please check it out, and let me know what you think! Each picture has a science mission behind it, rather than being a carefully planned and framed image. One day I might get to writing and sharing their stories.
In all, we visited nine of the 3,000 odd reefs in the Great Barrier Reef. We'll be looking to combine our drone imagery with in-water snorkel and dive surveys and satellite imagery to create a map of the different reef habitats in the region. Thank you to Dr Chris Roelfsema and the team at University of Queensland for planning this trip and inviting me to be a part of the research. To the Great Barrier Reef Foundation for providing the funding. And to Dr Stephanie Duce who was a fantastic helper and #SheFlies new recruit for this trip! | aerospace |

The announcement fell on Monday, January 11, 2021, at the end of the day. The Parrot company confirmed, in a press release, that it had been selected by the General Directorate of Armament to supply the French armies with its ANAFI USA micro-drones, originally designed for first aid and professionals. The first European drone group won the call for tenders launched by the French state last February.
Parrot will deliver hundreds of drones to the French armies over the next five years
After having supplied its Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) drone to the US Army, Parrot will deliver its ANAFI USA drones (which are largely inspired by it) to the Army, Air Force, and Air Force. space and the French Navy.
The winning call for tenders grants Parrot a 5-year framework contract with the French Ministry of the Armed Forces covering several hundred small aircraft, as well as additional equipment, as well as the development of adaptations and the training of reference pilots. within services.
The ANAFI USA drone, 500 grams at weighing, deployable in 55 seconds, and classified in the category of quadricopter micro-drones, is designed to accompany soldiers in their various observation and reconnaissance missions. In its category precisely, it acts as a champion with its autonomy of 32 minutes of flight.
“It is the fruit of the meticulous work accomplished by our teams in France for more than 2 years, and that of 10 years of expertise. By making the bet to develop the ANAFI platform, designed for the general public, robust for the needs professionals, and secure for the requirements of the armed forces, we have taken an important step for the Group, “ commented Henri Seydoux, President and Founder of Parrot.
Amazing properties and safety that can withstand any test
The ANAFI USA drone has formidable properties, such as a 32x zoom, articulated around two 4K cameras of 21 megapixels each. Detailed scenes can be followed from a distance of up to 5 km. In-centimeter detail is visible up to 50m away, and human targets can be detected up to 2km away, with advanced accuracy of 13cm of detail.
To accompany the zoom, ANAFI USA is carrying a thermal camera that retains all its efficiency day and night. And the drone is very discreet. Its sound signature does not exceed 79 dB at a distance of 1 m. It becomes downright inaudible from 130 m away.
One of the points of interest of the DGA call for tenders was security in the broad sense. ANAFI USA thus meets the most stringent cybersecurity requirements. The drone’s software is, for example, protected from any outside attempt by its digital signature. The data it captures is only recorded on the ground segment, from which it must be extracted and analyzed using a physical connection.
Parrot specifies that the processing of data from its drone is subject to the RPGD and that all data is under the control of the user, therefore the French armies. It is also on the list of equipment available to US government agencies and security forces and is already in use by police, federal agencies, and firefighters in the US and other countries around the world.

Undeniably one of the most famous air force bases in the US, Joint Base Andrews (Andrews Air Force Base) is most widely known as the home of Air Force One.
Designated in 1942, the base was named for Lt. General Frank Andrews, one of the founding fathers of the US Air Force.
Since its inception, Andrews has been the home of technical innovation and cutting edge aeronautics.
Andrews Field was initially used to train fighter pilots, but over the years has served as headquarters for Continental Air Command, Strategic Air Command and the Military Air Transport Service. It was also headquarters to the Air Research and Development Command, as well as the Air Force Systems Command.
“With any new technology, there is some learning involved,” Williams says. “They wanted to be as up to date as possible.” His HD2X training session was recorded and broadcast as a webinar at several air force bases.
The HD2X printer features dual head extrusion capability (the ability to print two different materials at once) as well as the capacity to print high temperature materials. It is to these distinctive features that Williams attributes the popularity of the unit among elite users, such as the Air Force.
“You have high temperature, high strength material capabilities that far surpass anything on the desktop market,” says Williams, who has a background that includes industrial 3D printing and design.
As a result, Airwolf 3D sells their printers to every branch of the armed services, aeronautics companies, and engineers all over the world.

Yakima, Washington – June 18th, 2020: Following a year-long public Market Survey effort, light aircraft manufacturer CubCrafters has officially decided to certify and offer a nosewheel option for its flagship Part 23 certified aircraft, the CC-19 XCub.
“Putting a nosewheel on a modern Cub type aircraft certainly surprised some people, but the overwhelming public response has been positive, especially among the more than 300 pilots that have had the opportunity to fly the airplane during the Market Survey phase,” comments Brad Damm, CubCrafters VP of Sales & Marketing. “A nosewheel equipped XCub is a very easy airplane to fly that takes off shorter, lands shorter, and cruises faster than the tailwheel version. Once a pilot is in the airplane and experiences it, the advantages are obvious.”
“Engaging our customers in a Market Survey effort for this new nosewheel option has been hugely important,” says Patrick Horgan, President of CubCrafters. “We went into this process not entirely sure if the market wanted to accept a nosewheel-type personal adventure Cub. There is no question now; we’ve had people wanting to place deposits for this aircraft from day one. Our customers have made it very clear that they want us to build this airplane.”
The company also notes that hundreds of hours of real-world use by a variety of pilots of varying skill levels during the Market Survey phase led to many design improvements that wouldn’t otherwise have been possible in an internal-only development setting. Current and prospective customers were able to have a large influence on the final design of the nosewheel option for the aircraft.
“The added capabilities and value offered by the new nosewheel option are game-changing” continues Horgan. “The XCub is easily convertible between nosewheel and tailwheel, so you really get two airplanes in one. A fast, modern, easy-to-fly, tricycle gear aircraft and a traditional big-tire tailwheel Cub together. Both are very capable STOL aircraft designed for the backcountry missions that CubCrafters’ airplanes have always excelled at.”
With an extremely robust trailing-link nosewheel assembly and large tundra tires as an option for the mains, the nosewheel equipped XCub is capable of handling primitive landing strips and most off-airport type operations. Landing loads on the nosewheel are transmitted to the airframe by a heavy-duty truss designed just for this application, and the entire nosewheel assembly itself is a bolt-on option that can be removed should the owner want to convert the airplane to a tailwheel configuration.
“This is something I’ve looked forward to for a long time,” comments Jim Richmond, CubCrafters’ Founder and CEO. “I’ve always believed that back-country flying should be open to more than just tailwheel rated pilots, and it’s exciting to see that vision now becoming a reality!”
The XCub program has achieved a number of significant milestones in its short history. After initial FAA certification in June of 2016, the XCub was the first United States General Aviation aircraft to achieve non-TSO’d avionics approval for the Garmin G3X system in 2017. In 2019, CubCrafters collaborated with Lycoming and Hartzell to offer the new lightweight CC393i fuel injected 215 horsepower engine and a new high-performance PathFinder 3-bladed composite propeller, for the XCub.
Badged as the “NX Cub” for aircraft leaving the Factory in the nosewheel configuration, the new tricycle gear option is available now on experimental XCubs through the company’s Builder Assist program, and CubCrafters expects to achieve FAA Part 23 certification in early 2021.
For more information, contact CubCrafters or your local Certified Sales Center.
CubCrafters was founded in 1980 by its current owner and CEO, Jim Richmond, and is located at McAllister Field Airport (YKM) in Yakima, Washington. CubCrafters’ roots are in the 90-year history of classic Cub-type aircraft, but its products and services are innovative and completely modern. CubCrafters designs and manufactures Part 23 Certified, LSA and Experimental aircraft. The company’s flagship XCub aircraft substantially expands the mission profile of personal adventure aviation aircraft with its higher speed, longer range and larger payload, and is now offered in both experimental and certified versions. The Top Cub, with a useful load of over 1,000 lbs., is the most up-to-date iteration of the historic Super Cub available.

LaHood Applauds Air Force Selection of Peoria’s 182nd Airlift Wing for C-130 Upgrades
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-16) applauded the United States Air Force’s selection of Peoria’s 182nd Airlift Wing as a preferred location to receive C-130J Super Hercules upgrades to replace their aging C-130Hs. LaHood has been a longtime advocate for this upgrade, a process which began eight years ago.
“The 182nd Airlift Wing in Peoria is one of the nation’s premier C130 units and a vital part of our community in central Illinois. Today’s announcement is great news for Peoria and the men and women of the 182nd. Modernizing the 182nd’s fleet to newer aircraft by converting the aging C-130Hs to C-130J’s will ensure the wing maintains and strengthens its flying mission for years to come,” said Rep. LaHood.
“Since joining Congress in 2015, upgrading the 182nd’s fleet has been a top priority of my office. I am pleased the Air Force has appropriately recognized the leadership of the 182nd and I will continue to advocate for the men and women who serve our nation in Congress.”
Rep. LaHood pushed for the C-130J upgrades and supported the 182nd over the past eight years serving central Illinois in Congress.
LaHood has advocated for the C-130J upgrade at the 182nd in each appropriations cycle during his time in Congress. Additionally, in 2019, LaHood sent a bipartisan letter to request that the Air Force consider these upgrades.
The Air Force’s announcement that four Air National Guard locations were chosen for C-130J upgrades begins the transition process that will see C-130J aircraft used to recapitalize the C-130H fleet in Peoria. The Air Force will now move forward with manpower review, training updates, and environmental impact analysis for each base through Fiscal Year 2025. | aerospace |

The man had been hiking on the beach and became stranded on a sandbar after the rising tide cut him off from shore. The man then contacted the Coast Guard for assistance.
An Air Station Savannah, Ga., helicopter crew was diverted to the distress call. The aircrew then safely hoisted the man and took him to Coast Guard Air Facility Charleston, S.C., and released him without injuries.
Wednesday the Coast Guard rescued two Marine Corps pilots 35-miles off the coast of St. Helena Sound, S.C.
Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort notified the Coast Guard at 5:17 p.m., Wednesday, reporting that two pilots aboard a Marine F/A-18D Hornet attached to Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224 went down off the coast of South Carolina. In addition, it was reported that two parachutes were seen indicating that the pilots had ejected.
A Coast Guard HH-65 Dolphin helicopter rescue crew from Charleston located the missing pilots at 6:15 p.m. and returned them to MCAS Beaufort.
Then yesterday a 41-foot rescue boat crew from Coast Guard Station Charleston rescued 4 boaters shortly after 5 p.m., Sunday, 15-miles east of Charleston Harbor.
The Coast Guard was notified of a distress signal off the coast of Charleston Harbor at 4:06 p.m. via a Personal Position Indicating Radio Beacon or PPIRB. An HH-65 Dolphin rescue helicopter crew from Air Facility Charleston responded to the location of the distress signal and located 4 boaters aboard a 23-foot recreational boat taking on water. The 41-foot rescue boat crew from Station Charleston arrived on scene shortly thereafter and removed all 4 passengers at about 5:08 p.m. Sunday.
In addition, the rescue boat crew successfully located and patched the hole taking on water and placed the disabled boat in tow. | aerospace |

I haven't found the time to write my usual science piece for this issue of The Point, so here is an article of mine on the space race and some thoughts on it from our first issue a couple of years back, so its a bit of science history, a bit of internationalism and a bit of - maybe- controversy. The Point has grown by leaps and bounds since its first issue and we now have a much bigger readership than we had back then, so chances are many of you will be coming to this article for the first time. Hope you enjoy it and that it provokes some thought.
The untimely death of Neil Armstrong, the first human being to set foot on another world, and a descendant of Scots, touched many millions across the world. It seemed to remind us of a different, better era. By way of tribute we republish an article by Steve Arnott written on the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission which takes a look at a subject rarely touched on by the left when discussing the Soviet Bloc and the cold war – the space race and the historic achievements that came from it.
The cold war and the race for space
If you grew up in the sixties, seventies and eighties the threat of worldwide nuclear annihilation was real and ever present – a constant dark shadow of possibility. Although some on the right argued that MAD – Mutually Assured Destruction – meant that a third world war would never happen, and some on the left argued that neither the Stalinist bureaucrats of the Soviet Bloc or the capitalist strategists of the West had any interest in killing ‘the goose that laid the golden egg’, there seemed always the terrifying possibility of a Failsafe mistake, a Dr. Strangelove madness, driving the whole human race to destruction. One of my earliest dreams I can remember, at the tender age of seven, was of painting the houses in my village white. I must have taken in some ‘protect and survive’ government propaganda (white paint, we were told, would reflect radiation better) . My sister was to have nightmares about nuclear war well into her late teens. And she hadn’t even seen Threads.
This was the unreal reality of the cold war – two ideologically opposed armed camps who collectively wielded a most modern terror, one of nuclear annihilation from whom no-one on the face of planet Earth could flee. When the Soviet Bloc finally collapsed in the late eighties there was palpable sense of relief amongst the discomfort at the poisonous Reaganite/Thatcherite free market triumphalism – at least we were no longer three minutes to midnight in terms of the fabled 'nuclear clock' which marked our species' closeness to its atomic self destruction.
At the time – along with other Marxists – I knew the capitalist triumphalism would be short lived. Two decades later that has proven to be correct. And along with Trotsky I agreed that socialism would not be able to speak its name without a blush of shame again until the Stalinist whip was broken and burned on the pyre of history. But those narratives and arguments will be dealt with elsewhere. Specifically, in this article, I want to ask the question – did any good at all come from the cold war and its corollary, the arms race? And in answer I want to argue that, yes, dialectically, the phenomena we call the space race – a race that the nuclear arms race gave rise to, as its progeny and proxy - ultimately provided a keynote of hope, humanity and peaceful progress in the otherwise largely bleak and barbaric history of the cold war.
This year (2009) saw the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. It also saw the fortieth anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon. To mark that occasion the Smithsonian Institute in the US invited a number of those intimately involved in the Apollo programme to address an audience of scientists, science journalists and space enthusiasts in Washington DC. The most eagerly anticipated speaker was Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the lunar surface.
Armstrong has been a virtual recluse in media terms, considering he is probably one of the most famous men on the planet, and for the last twenty or so years has given virtually no interviews. He insists that he will only comment on factual matters in relation to the moon landing, and not on how he felt about it subjectively. This is not because - as a few unhinged conspiracy theorists would have you believe - NASA faked landing on the moon no less than six times, but because, as Armstrong correctly argues, the huge scientific and engineering achievement that was the moon landings represented a collective effort involving over 400, 000 people in engineering, construction, planning, support, science and logistics.
With typical modesty, Armstrong devoted only a single sentence of an eighteen minute talk to the celebrated Apollo 11 mission. In a short professorial lecture 'Goddard, Governance and Geophysics' - which was a masterpiece of understatement -Armstrong instead outlined the global historical and scientific background that gave rise to the space race. Armstrong stayed away from any overtly political comment. (I think we can probably safely surmise that the US government ensured that none of those deemed to have 'The Right Stuff' were paid up members of the IWW or the International Spartacist League) but it was certainly 'long view of history' stuff – and. whether consciously or not, – argued a dialectical and material relationship between science, technology, war, politics and the space race which was both insightful and refreshingly honest.
To sum up: modern ballistic rocket begins on a sound engineering and experimental basis with the work of Robert Goddard in the US in the twenties. He is however, a prophet largely ignored in his own land. The Nazis in Germany, however, take more than a passing interest in his work. In the course of World War II Nazi scientists including Werner Von Braun who will later work with NASA, develop the V2 ballistic missile which is used to devastating effect towards the end of the war. With the development of the atomic bomb at the end of the war, a new arms race begins between two opposing models of governance represented by the 'superpowers,' the USA and the USSR, which drives the development of the ballistic missile for military purposes. In 1957, International Geophysical Year, scientists postulate seriously for the first time the possibility of sending a satellite into Earth orbit and the huge scientific possibilities of mastery of such a technology. An unofficial 'race' begins to put the first satellite into space which the USSR wins within a few months. The successful launch of Sputnik 1 and its subsequent orbiting of the earth for over two months excited and fascinated the world (and terrified a cold war gripped, red menace obsessed America). The Space Race was on and was to dominate the public imagination for the next two decades, becoming 'the ultimate peaceful competition'. Although all of the early successes belong to the Soviet Union, the zenith of the space race is reached with the NASA's manned missions to the moon.
Implicit in Armstrong's argument is the idea that the space race allowed a peaceful diversionary sphere for the cold war to be fought out in, and that perhaps it contributed to making the self immolation of humanity in thermonuclear war a little less likely.
(Armstrong's full talk, for reasons unknown, is no longer available on YouTube)
Early Soviet domination
In the early sixties the then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was able to make the claim that the Soviet Bloc would overtake the West in terms of its technological and industrial capacity within a decade – and be taken seriously.
The success of the Sputnik programme was rapidly followed by more spectacular firsts which seemed to demonstrate the superiority of the planned economy (in reality a bureaucratic command economy). On April 12th 1961, Yuri Gagarin, a tiny cosmonaut at five foot two, (in terms of ballistic payload and capsule space, size was very important), became the first human being to leave the gravitational bonds of the planet and travel through outer space in orbit around the earth. His flight lasted 108 minutes before he returned successfully to terra firma to be hailed a Hero of the Soviet Union – not bad for an apprentice foundry man whose peasant family had suffered directly at the hands of the Nazis less than two decades previously, and whose self taught flying skills had led him on a long journey into the Soviet space program.
Although the US followed Gagarin's ground breaking flight with Alan Shepard's sub-orbital flight and John Glen's orbit of the Earth in 1962, the Soviets continued to make all the running, with the first dual manned space flights, in space simultaneously and making radio contact with one another. In another first, on June 16th 1963, the Soviets sent the first woman, Valentina Tereshkova, into space.
It should perhaps be pointed out here, however, that these early successes were more than just feats of technology and political oneupmanship. Real and important science was also being done. The Sputnik missions helped to determine the density of the upper atmosphere, for instance. It also provided vital information on how radio emissions spread in the ionosphere. Manned and animal flights provided vital data on how organisms coped without gravity and on levels of solar and gamma radiation in outer space.
JFK targets the moon
Stung by early Soviet successes America's new president John F. Kennedy, in an address to congress on the 25th of May 1961, targeted a first manned landing on the moon as a way to restore US superpower prestige and take the new high ground in space. 'Closing the missile gap' had been a theme of his successful presidential campaign but it was the declaration that the U.S should aim to 'land a man on the moon and return safely within this decade' that set the public imagination on fire.
There is some evidence that Kennedy played to different galleries in different ways to build support for what is now arguably his greatest and most lasting legacy – assuring liberals and progressives of the peaceful and scientific nature of the project, while playing the patriotic card about beating the Russians to the moon for the right.
In his famous and oft quoted speech at Rice University in September of 1962 ('we choose to go the moon and do these other things not because it is easy, but because it is hard' (Link 1) Kennedy walked both lines with great skill, arguing that the US should be a leader in space to ensure the new high frontier would be a frontier for science and peace and be empty of 'weapons of mass destruction'.
He told his audience:
The Mariner spacecraft now on its way to Venus is the most intricate instrument in the history of space science. The accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from Cape Canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the forty yard lines...For space science, like nuclear science and all technology, has no conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on man, and only if the United States occupies a position of pre-eminence can we help decide whether this new ocean will be a sea of peace or a terrifying new theatre of war
The resulting Apollo programme was not without its setbacks and its critics – three astronauts burned to death in a ground based training flight for Apollo 1, and many on the left argued that the money would be better spent on social programmes. Why spend such vast sums on exploring space, went the argument, when there were so many problems left unresolved here on Earth? (Unfortunately, the same Luddite arguments can still be heard today).
A great achievement of modernity
In contrast to the gulags, and the crushing of the Hungarian Revolution, to the imperialist misadventure in Vietnam, the McCarthy witch hunts, and the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America, the space race, and in particular the taking of the human experience to another world in space was one of the great achievements of modernity, and for the superpowers in particular in the post war decades. Although the Soviets were the first to land an unmanned vehicle on the moon (Luna 2 was the first Earth vehicle to reach the moon in September 1959, - it crashed) the Apollo programme was a huge success and represents the apogee of manned space exploration thus far.
All in all, 12 men landed on the moon, walked upon its surface, and carried out scientific experiments (6 of whom were of Scottish descent, would you believe?). Even the 'failure' of the Apollo 13 mission which had to be aborted after an onboard explosion in the fuel mixing tank, was a huge success in that it showed the ability to cope with crisis and the unexpected, and return astronauts safely to Earth against the odds.
The heroism, dedication and professionalism of these men – indeed of every astronaut of whatever gender or nation who has ever strapped themselves into a chair ready for blast off – surely cannot be doubted. Essentially these guys sat on top of a huge skyscraper filled with the most highly combustible liquid fuel and let it be set off in a controlled explosion underneath them, trusting to the laws of physics, Newtonian ballistics, and the dedication and skill of the hundreds of thousands involved in building the Saturn V rocket to deliver them safely from earth's gravity and into space – with its own massive dangers of zero gravity, gamma and solar radiation and micro meteorite impacts. They floated in a glorified tin can (the Bowie song was not that far off the mark) with orders of magnitude less computing power than the average mobile phone of today, landed on an unknown world in an untried vehicle, with only one shot at leaving again successfully, walked on the unknown dusty surface of an airless world where one small failure in their suit apparatus may have meant instant death, and came back again, with all the hazards or re-entry into the earth's atmosphere at several thousand miles an hour.
Marvellously, and for the first time in human history, all of this experience was captured on camera and watched on television by billions across the world. It was a collective human adventure. Although he did not live to see it Kennedy had instinctively understood that the sending of unmanned probes or robot craft to other worlds would not grasp the imagination of the world the way that human exploration, with all its attendant risks, drama and subjective experience could. (Link 4)
All of the astronauts appeared to be deeply moved and in some cases dramatically changed by the experience. Some turned profoundly to religion, at least one became a prominent advocate of UFO research. Almost all say the experience brought home to them the enormous singularity of Earth in our solar system as a planet which alone, at the present time, can sustain complex life. It's not uncommon for Apollo astronauts during interviews to comment on our world's fragility, stressing our common humanity and the need to look after the only world we have. The iconic 'Earthrise' photograph (see below), taken during Apollo 8's orbit of the moon – the very first picture of the whole of Earth taken from space – is credited by some with creating a paradigm shift in humanity's view of its place in the cosmos, and giving a huge boost to the nascent 'green' movement.
As Jim Lovell of Apollo 8 and 13 said:
We learned a lot about the Moon, but what we really learned was about the Earth. The fact that just from the distance of the Moon, you can put your thumb up, and you can hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything that you have ever known, your loved ones, your business, the problems of the Earth itself, all behind your thumb. And how insignificant we really all are. But then how fortunate we are to have this body, and to be able to enjoy living here amongst the beauty of the Earth itself.
So why did the Soviets 'lose' the race to the moon after making so much of the early running? A detailed and plausible explanation can be found in full at the end of this essay (Link 2)
However, I think that a parallel can be broadly drawn with the space race and the development of the Soviet economy as a whole. Just as the Soviet Union developed from being a backward agrarian economy to being the world's second superpower from the fifties through to the eighties on the basis of the planned economy – 'despite Stalinism, not because of it', yet failed to keep pace with the West in terms of modern consumer goods and information technology because the bureaucratic command economy – essentially conservative and paranoid in its mode of being – could not adapt quickly enough, so it was also with the space race. In the early years a command bureaucracy, scanter regard for human safety, and secrecy were positive boons in developing quickly sufficiently efficient rockets and engineering to place capsules in orbit and even crudely hit the moon, as if were just a target. Those same advantages became huge disadvantages however, when a more complex project was required, and the more open and critical input of scientists, engineers and the astronauts themselves, in a liberal democratic society, allied to the huge collective and very public national effort that was the Apollo program, won the day.
Post Apollo – International co-operation and 'star wars' sabre rattling
In terms of popular cultural conception the space race could be said to have come to an end in 1975 with the joint Apollo Soyuz missions. Soviet orbiting spacecraft Soyuz 19 met and docked with an Apollo command module in orbit, with both sets of astronauts/cosmonauts crossing over into each others ships, exchanging flags, pleasantries and gifts for the world's watching media, and then getting on with doing some actual science together. It was a powerful signal of the new era of détente and was a harbinger of continued practical collaboration in space that continued right up to and after the fall of the Soviet Bloc, with joint and international projects on the Skylab and Mir space stations, and from 1994 onwards in the Shuttle/International Space Station programs.
The picture is not wholly one of harmony and co-operation in space, however. The Thatcher/Reagan era saw a return to ideological belligerence in space with the raising by Reagan of the infamous 'Star Wars' project. The idea of a missile shield in space, effectively negating the idea of mutually assured destruction or of multilateral nuclear disarmament through treaty was always more propaganda than reality, though huge resources were spent on it. One commentator compared the idea of stopping missile assaults with other missiles sub-orbitally as 'trying to stop a bullet in flight by firing another bullet at it.' Nevertheless, it placed a huge strain on Soviet-West relations in the eighties, with some pro-Soviet Stalinist apologists even blaming the collapse of the Soviet Bloc on it (the 'theory' goes that the Soviets couldn't keep up with US Star Wars military expenditure and attempts to do so caused their own economies to stagnate).
Ironically enough, nearly 50 years on from Kennedy's speech about keeping 'weapons of mass destruction' out of space, the findings of science have indicated that, once again, technologies developed for war and destruction may be required to actually ensure the continued existence of the human race.
Darwinian science and palaeontology have determined that there have been at least five mass species extinctions in Earth's past, and at least two of these were due to strikes from asteroids colliding with Earth. Astronomers have determined that potentially devastating asteroid collisions occur frequently in geological terms and that one is due to hit the Earth again anytime in the next 100, 000 years. This threat is real and already considerable resources are used to try and track the orbits of asteroids and comets that may come close to the Earth (link 4).
Only a nuclear strike or even a series of nuclear strikes would have the possibility of diverting a large asteroid on collision course with our planet. While most socialist and progressives would instinctively be suspicious about an orbital platform carrying nuclear missiles, such a platform, as a matter of scientific fact, may be the only way to guarantee the continued existence of humanity on the planet against such a cosmic collision. Of course, of such a thing was ever to be built we would have to ensure it was under multinational control and failsafed so that any weapons it carried could never be pointed at the Earth itself.
So is Neil Armstrong right when he implies that the space race – 'the ultimate peaceful competition' contributed to keeping the missiles in their silos and a humanity safe in their beds at night? I don't think the point can be entirely dismissed. While I'm certain that other factors were perhaps more decisive - not least the fact that both sets of reactionaries with their fingers on the button must have known that, contrary to the M*A*S*H theme song, suicide would not be painless - perhaps the great achievements of the space race not only diverted us, but spoke to the better angels of our nature.
Michael Collins, the third member of the Apollo 11 mission who orbited the moon while waiting for Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to land and return, and is one of a handful ever to have gazed on its dark side, makes the following point:
When we came back and we went all around the world, everywhere we went, people said 'we did it'. Not you guys did it. Not the Americans did it. But we did it – meaning all of humanity. And that was a beautiful thing. Ephemeral – but beautiful.
It appals me that I still occasionally meet otherwise intelligent people who want to cast their lot in with the flat Earthers and the creationists, and insist this great human achievement was faked. What! Six times! And all those thousands of people have kept mum for forty years! As a brief rationalist antidote to such gobsmacking human stupidity please check out Link 5, which sees the National Geographic provide as much debunking of the faked moon landing 'theory' as any reasonable person should require. Interestingly enough, the Soviet Union never once made this ridiculous claim.
And that should tell you everything.
As this article is being written it's just been announced by NASA that their latest probe has found substantial reserves of water ice beneath the surface of the moon. This stunning discovery revolutionises our previous conception – that the moon was a dead, dusty planet. Now we know it's technically possible to build bases and stay on the moon for longer periods of time. We already know that Mars was once flooded with water and still holds water as ice, and there is evidence to suggest Mars may once, or possibly still, have been home to microbial life. We know that Europa, the ice covered moon of Jupiter has a vast ocean of water, heated by Jupiter's gravitational pull, underneath the surface. Many scientists think that, within our solar system, this presents the best candidate for finding complex extra terrestrial life.
As socialists we call on working people everywhere to throw off their chains. We know they have a world to win. And many will still argue that first and foremost we need to solve our terrestrial problems before even thinking of the great beyond. I don't agree.
Like the struggle for social justice, the struggle to expand the boundaries of human knowledge ennobles each and every one of us. These are not dichotomies, but vital threads in the history of human progress
We have a world to win, and a universe to explore.
It's time to take the next, bigger step. It should be done collectively, peacefully and be part of a truly international effort. And perhaps this time the 'we' needn't be ephemeral.

An ambitious concept.
n recent years, balloons have been used to transport all kinds of objects in the stratosphere. Today, the startup Space Perspective, based in Cape Canaveral, Florida, has announced its intention to do the same with real human passengers.
f the service is operational, up to eight passengers (plus a pilot) will first board the pressurized capsule of the company’s Neptune spacecraft before sunrise. Departure would be from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. If the concept works, additional launch sites may be added later in places like Hawaii and Alaska.
Nearly a trip into space.
Over the next two hours, a football the length of a football stadium would lift the Neptune to an altitude of 30,480 meters. This altitude is more than 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, where the curvature of the planet and the darkness of space are clearly visible.
The pod would continue to cruise at that height for another two hours, then take two more to come down. This last operation would be carried out by gradually releasing the gas from the balloon. The capsule and the balloon would complete the six-hour flight by diving into the ocean, where a ship would pick them and the passengers up. And, yes, the Neptune would have a toilet and a bar.
6-hour flight for the price of a big luxury sedan.
According to Space Perspective, launches would be regulated by the FAA Office of Commercial Spaceflight. In addition to passengers, flights could also include research payloads. In fact, this is what will be on board the first unmanned test flight, scheduled for early 2021.
Interested parties can reserve a place now via the Space Perspective website. The fare is expected to be announced within a year, but is expected to be around $75,000 per passenger… | aerospace |

Among all the transport aircrafts to have been built so far, the Lockheed C-130, a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft introduced with USAW in December, 1957, has been used the most. The C-130 was originally designed for transporting troops, medical evacuation and cargo transport. Later Lockheed has developed many variants of the C-130 to support a variety of other roles including gunship, airborne assault, search and rescue, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial firefighting, and many more.

In 1946, the United States Army Air Forces used B-29s in World War II. Two years later, in 1948 after World War II, the B-50, and a revision of the B-29 was introduced. In 1949, the B-36 “Peacemaker,” a strategic bomber, was introduced by Convair. In 1951, six jet-engine B-47 medium size bombers were introduced by Boeing.
The first example was the North American X-15 space plane which conducted a couple of manned flights and reached a height of over 100 km in the 1960s. The X-15 was the first air-launched on a suborbital trajectory in 1963.

In 2018, the 737 jet took a nosedive and crashed shortly after takeoff from Jakarta, Indonesia leaving 189 dead.
Since the second incident, several countries such as China and Australia have barred the Boeing model from flying until an investigation has been completed. Several U.S. senators, Like Ted Cruz, have called for U.S. airlines to do the same.
Preliminary data from the flight information recorder show “clear similarities” between the Indonesian and Ethiopian crashes. The U.S. federal aviation administration stated that the movement of both aircrafts were similar after takeoff. Both flights had erratic altitude changes which meant that the pilots had difficulty controlling the aircraft. Both flights tried to return to the airports after noticing these problems but crashed before their arrival.
The 737 Max 8 showcases a new flight-control system called MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) which would automatically swivel the horizontal tail to push the nose downward in the case of a stall. This automatic augmentation would reset each time the pilot would try to correct it.
Experts have analyzed the “black boxes” from the Ethiopian aircraft and have stated that a single sensor was at fault. The “angle of attack” sensor lies outside the pilot’s cabin and measures the angle between air flow and the wing. Based on the data retrieved the sensor fed false information to the flight computer ensuing a tug of war between the pilot and the plane.
Investigators are still working to verify that the MCAS was the culprit for both Boeing crashes. Pilot groups have come forward and complained that the FAA has failed to adequately announce the new software to pilots.
Several Federal Aviation Administration employees had previously warned investigators as far as seven years ago that Boeing held too much power over the evaluations of its own planes. A Seattle Times investigation concluded that an underfunded FAA gave Boeing jurisdiction over the safety assessments of their aircrafts and provided back reports that contained flaws.
The safety analysis that the FAA received from Boeing assess the 737 Max 8 systems as hazardous, one level below catastrophic, and yet it was still approved safe enough to fly.
Despite the incidents, Congress has continued to approve of the questionable relationship between the FAA and jet manufacturing companies. In recent years, Congress has been expanded the authority that these companies have over safety assessments by allowing them to pick and choose the employees overseeing said assessments.
Boeing released a statement concluding that the FAA approved of the aircraft and had “met all certification and regulatory requirements.” | aerospace |

This interest came in about 4th grade when I learned about NASA and their accomplishments. In 1957, President Eisenhower introduced the launch of the Russian satellite Sputnik, into space. Under the leadership of the Presidents, Americans put their competitive spirit into motion. They were challenged to step up and become leaders in science, technology, engineering, and math. Therefore, in 1958 President Eisenhower proposed the creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration also known as NASA. The legislation was signed to create the new government agency, and a space program was born. When Eisenhower left office in 1961, President Kennedy continued to push for an alteration in the areas of STEM putting the first American on the moon, among other accomplishments.
The NASA program is what actually encouraged me to apply to the STEM honors program. I believe this program will help me in life because science is everywhere in the world. Also, since we’re living in the technological age, STEM education is their way to more success. Technology is continuously expanding into every aspect of our lives. It even helps to discover/ predict natural disasters and microscopic organisms which creates many diseases in the bodies of humans and animals. I believe I should be admitted into the STEM honors program because I like to be challenged. This program is an amazing opportunity and will help me further my education. This program can also help strengthen my weakness in math and prepare me for the future. I believe I would be a great help since I already enjoy these topics, hopefully, my skills will help the program as well. Furthermore, I have discovered that STEM education is based on learning and applying the hands-on skills to develop and solve complex problems in the real world. | aerospace |

It's your turn to define how digitalisation will transform the Aerospace Industry in a near future!
Be creative and think out the box!
In the framework of the 2016 USAIRE Student Award created 11 years ago by Michel Dubarry, President of Rolls-Royce International in Paris, a Digital Seminar was jointly held last Wednesday 6th July by Dassault Aviation and Airbus Group. Organized by Rolls-Royce, the Digital Seminar was the occasion for the 15 finalist teams to get some first-hand information from major stakeholders of the aerospace industry, as well as informal networking opportunities. Following a private visit of the Virtual Reality Center at Dassault Aviation, the students were invited to take part to a Digital Conference that gathered six high-level speakers at Airbus Group: Marc Hamy (Vice President, Head of Air Transport and Public Affairs, Airbus Group), Bruno Stoufflet (Vice President R&D and Advanced Business, Dassault Aviation), Nick Ward (Predictive Equipment Health Management, Rolls-Royce), James Kornberg (Director Innovation, Air France-KLM), Col. Arnaud Gaviard (Plan and Policy Department, Head of Capability Development, French Air Force Staff) and Nathalie Domblides (Deputy Chief of Staff, DGAC). Thus the finalists had the chance to benefit from valuable presentations and discussions that will be a substantial asset in the preparation of the final selection round. For the record, their 10-page research on “How will digitalization transform the Aerospace Industry in a near future?” is due on September 4. The award ceremony will take place on November 25 on the occasion of our Thanksgiving dinner.

Congratulations to the 2016 Winners of the Usaire Student Award!
How digitalization will transform the aerospace industry in a near future? This topic attracted many outstanding students! The competition collected 43 submissions from 26 European universities and schools. 71 students were involved in the first phase of selection: 28 per team and 15 individual candidatures. At the end of the first selection round, 15 candidatures were shortlisted.
On Wednesday 6th July, the 15 finalist teams had the great opportunity to attend the Digital Seminar organized by Rolls Royce and held by Airbus Groups and Dassault Aviation (with the participation of Air France-KLM, French Air force and DGAC), to get some first-hand information about digital transformation from major stakeholders of the aerospace industry, as well as informal networking opportunities. This event was a substantial asset in the preparation of the 10 page-research.
As the Usaire Student Award gets older, it is attracting better submissions than ever, and remains an excellent opportunity for student to showcase their work to aviation specialists. In October 2016, the jury composed by sixteen Civil and Defense aviation experts from Airbus Group, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Dassault Aviation, Air force, Singapore Airlines, DGAC, DGA, Marshall Aerospace, Raytheon, Aviation Sans Frontières, AAR Corp, assessed the exceptional quality of the work provided by the students and selected the most succeeded projects. Five awards were announced:

In this video the signs of torture are obvious on the Syrian pilot’s face. At the time, the way the pilot responds to the questions shows that he is suffering.
A Syrian warplane was shot down by a surface-to-air missile fired by militants in the northern province of Aleppo Tuesday.
The jet was targeted while on a reconnaissance mission and its pilot ejected.
The plane was downed over the Talat al-Iss highland near the village of Eis, south of Aleppo, according to news reports.
Al-Nusra Front shot down the plane and took the pilot,” a militant source said, adding that the jet had been hit by heavy machine gun fire.
Footage of the downing of the Syrian Air Force Su-22 jet that was allegedly shot down by members of the Al-Nusra Front has surfaced.
The video shows a burning Su-22 fighter jet crashing on to the ground and the pilot who ejected via parachute under small arms ground fire.
Unconfirmed reports claim the aircraft was hit by a MANPADS (Man Portable Air Defense System) in the area of southern Aleppo.

Do you have someone who is nursing the ambition?
If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then this article is for you.
WHO IS A PILOT?
An aircraft pilot or aviator is a person who controls the flight of an aircraft by operating its directional flight controls. Some other aircrew members, such as navigators or flight engineers, are also considered aviators, because they are involved in operating the aircraft’s navigation and engine systems. Full meaning of “PILOT” (Piloted Low-speed Test)

ROLES OF A PILOT?
The Pilot’s responsibilities include;
• Transporting passengers and cargo,
• Determining the safest routes,
• Analyzing flight plans and weather conditions,
• Calculating fuel, and
• Inspecting operation systems and navigation equipment
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A PILOT
If you want to be train as an airline pilot the shortest possible time it takes to train is around 18 months, assuming the trainee has no previous flying experience and maintains a good record throughout his/her training.
When you enroll for an integrated flight training course, assuming you have not had any previous flying experiences you can enroll and from point zero you can get to a the status of a commercial passenger aircraft pilot in about 18 to 24 months. But first and foremost you must first be enrolled in an integrated flight training. I have used the word integrated training for a number of times if you’re wondering the meaning; an integrated flight training is a full time, intensive course, where you complete all the required training at one flight training organization, including all the theoretical studying and practical flight training.

You will basically spend about 6-9 months dealing with only the theoretical aspect before moving onto the practical training on the aircraft and in the simulators.
After completing this training you will have obtained a license referred to as a ‘Frozen’ Air Transport Pilots License (ATPL). This is a prerequisite for going on to train on a specific commercial aircraft on which you are employed to fly with an airline.
If when you secure employment with an airline, you will then spend about another 2-3 months training specifically on the aircraft you will be flying for that airline. This is called the type rating and is the most intensive part of the flight training journey. It consists of both technical classroom and simulator training which must be completed before you start flying passengers. It is possible to complete this type rating training without having secured a job, but this isn’t something we would recommend due to the substantial cost (£20k+).
To complete the full flight training program, we estimate 13.5 months, although many have completed in as few as 7 months depending on where you’re doing your integrated aircraft training and your skill set.
Now below are different licenses and certificates you can attain and the time taken to do so.
• PPL – 3 months
• IR – 2 months
• CMEL – 2 months
• CSEL – 2 months
• CFI – 2 months
• CFII – 3 weeks

Wanted: Aviation engineers with theoretical knowledge in aviation/transportation engineering, mathematical modeling experience, as well as business and practical knowledge--to modernize the National Airspace System, expand airport and airspace capacity, build sustainable aviation infrastructure, and develop new procedures and processes to meet predicted increases in air traffic over the coming decades.
It’s a tall order, but thanks to UC Berkeley NEXTOR Deputy Director Jasenka Rakas, students with an interest in aviation have a golden opportunity to acquire the qualifications needed to undertake the responsibilities and challenges that will be required in the field of aviation in the U.S. and around the world in the coming decades.
The National Center of Excellence for Aviation Operations Research (NEXTOR) was founded in 1996. It is a consortium of research scientists from five universities, including UC Berkeley. Research is focused on air traffic problems, air traffic management and control, airline operations, aviation systems planning, safety data analysis, and aviation economics.
Moreover, through the Advanced Aviation Education Program that Rakas helped establish in 2003 at Berkeley, scholarships and internships in government and private industry are available to help students offset their rapidly rising tuition costs, while they gain the necessary experience and contacts they will need to find work in the aviation industry after finishing their schooling.
Rakas, whose postdoctoral studies at ITS Berkeley included pioneering work on mathematical models for analyzing the impact of navigational equipment outages on airspace performance, has also made important contributions in the area of controller-pilot communications and airport operations and planning, particularly in the use of high-fidelity, runway-specific aircraft trajectory data used to model arrival headway distribution.
Filling a need
Through her close associations with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and TRB, she recognized the importance of improving the training and education of the future aviation workforce.
“The Transportation Research Board has been aware for some time that we will have a shortage of adequately trained professionals in the transportation field in general, as well as in the aviation field in particular,” she said.
Specialized aviation courses are rarely offered in colleges, yet the U.S. National Airspace System is one of the most complex, hierarchical, and dynamic of all civil systems in the world.
Specialized aviation courses are rarely offered in colleges; education in aviation is expensive and time-consuming, she explained. Yet the US National Airspace System is one of the most complex, hierarchical, and dynamic of all civil systems in the world. It requires well-educated, highly skilled leaders.
Clearly the need is there, but the pathway for interested students was not always clear or financially feasible. The Advanced Aviation Educational Program helps provide a solution.
Students come to the UC Berkeley program from many countries and with different educational backgrounds. “Because they bring with them varying levels of knowledge and understanding about aviation principles and paradigms, it is necessary to bring their knowledge to some kind of common ground before they can start utilizing their own research talents,” said Rakas. “It takes a lot of time and effort to systematically educate a student researcher about general aviation engineering principles before we can begin to conduct funded research on more specific aviation topics.”
“My goal is to create a rich educational environment for students—one that enhances their educational portfolio and allows them to make a smooth transition from a research student to a professional [environment].”
“Everyone must benefit,” she adds, “industry, academia, and most importantly, the student.”
So far, the program is succeeding: At any given time about 10 students, graduate as well as senior-level undergraduates, are participating. Internships have been made available to ITS Berkeley students at the FAA and NASA, as well as at CSSI, a Washington, DC company that provides technical services in air traffic management, airport consulting firms such as Jacobs Consultancy in Burlingame and HNTB in Los Angeles, and ATAC Corporation, an airspace design and operations company in Sunnyvale.
Scholarships and other forms of financial assistance are available from a number of different sources including the GEM Fellowships of the National GEM Consortium, the Society of Women Engineers, The Pacific District Conference Scholarship of the National Civil Engineering Honor Society, California Transportation Foundation, Women in Transportation, as well as through research gifts from Raytheon, Los Angeles World Airports, Sensis Corporation, and Jacobs Consultancy. Rakas matches students to scholarships and internships, and helps them find the right graduate school program.
More than 60 students have been associated with the program in the past, and are working around the world—in London, Brussels, Paris, Toulouse, Washington, D.C., Boston, San Francisco, and Berkeley--either in academia or the aviation industry.
Capturing their imaginations
Students’ first introduction to aviation engineering is often the Airport Design (CE153) class Rakas teaches each fall in the University’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. This capstone class allows students to apply what they’ve learned from courses in the civil engineering major and other academic subjects to an airport design project.
Students visit an airport, divide themselves into collaborative teams, and design airport master plans that solve specific problems. The project requires learning many aspects of modernizing an airport, from tackling noise pollution and airspace structure to environmental code conformance for terminal buildings and increased traffic demands on the runway.
More than 60 students have been associated with the program in the past, and are working around the world—in London, Brussels, Paris, Toulouse, Washington, D.C., Boston, San Francisco, and Berkeley.
Students begin to see aviation and airports in a different light, as Rakas infuses her class with not only the mathematics and engineering of aviation, but its art and poetry. Leonardo da Vinci, Venetian painter Carlo Saraceni, Henri Matisse, and the Fauvists all play a role in the class. She uses a graphic artist’s displays of air traffic patterns to help students better understand the complexity of Air Traffic Flow Management, air traffic demand, delays, and airspace capacity.
As the semester ends, students present their completed airport master plans to a panel of professionals who judge them in the same way that potential clients will.
While the design class often hooks fledgling engineers who go into it uncertain that aviation is their field and come out unabashed enthusiasts, a second part of the aviation curriculum consists of new courses with guest lecturers from industry and government covering special topics in aviation infrastructure systems and operations, aviation economics, advanced air traffic management concepts, and airline operations.
Their education doesn’t stop there, though. “Even after they leave our academic environment, they continue to communicate and build professional relations with us by collaborating on research projects.” Some who took the Airport Design Class end up a few years later as members of the jury responsible for evaluating students’ airport design class term projects.
Jasenka Rakas is the director of the Airport Systems Planning and Design Short Course, and a faculty lecturer in the University’s Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. She is also a founder of the UC Berkeley Airport Design Studio and the National Airspace System Infrastructure Conference. She is vice-chair of the Transportation Research Board Committee (TRB) for Airfield and Airspace Capacity and Delay.
“In the end, we are creating future leaders who will undertake the technological and organizational challenges in the field of aviation in the 21st century. We believe a strong aviation research internship program is an integral part of the academic curriculum, and enables our students to understand, first hand, the economic, operational, legislative and cultural aspects of aviation,” said Rakas.

Aviation is one of our specialties.
Derek and Stephen's Corporate TV Aviation work includes Promotional DVD's for 'The Blades' aerobatic display team, made up from former RAF Red Arrow pilots. They include former Team Leader, Red 1, Wing Commander Andy Offer RAF (Ret.) OBE.
Stephen's Broadcast TV Aviation work includes documentaries for the BBC. These include films on the R 101 Airship, a Hawker Hurricane restoration by 'Hawker Restorations', 'Secret German WWII Airfields' in East Anglia and the Imperial War Museum's Film Archive Unit at Duxford.
Of particular interest is a film for the BBC about President John F Kennedy's
older brother, Joseph P Kennedy, Jr. a USAAF pilot. He was killed in a massive mid-air
explosion over Suffolk in 1944 when the highly modified B-24 Liberator packed with 10 tonnes
of Torpox explosives, exploded prematurely. He was part of a two man crew flying the plane
on the secret 'Operation Aphrodite' mission to destroy a V-3 super cannon site in France. The
plan was for the two pilots to get the aircraft airborne to 10,000 ft and once the explosives were
armed, bail out at 150 knots. The plane would then be flown by remote control from a mother
ship on to the target. The plane had two television cameras fitted, one on the instruments
and the other forward facing to help the bombardier guide it onto the target. The pictures
were transmitted back to the mother ship. This was in fact, the first 'Cruise Missile'.

Shrug. The anthem of the 3rd world problem is all around us, just listen.
This morning, I was buckled and ready on an airplane. The captain came on the speaker (that was quite loud for the record) and announced that departure would be delayed for 5 minutes. Apparently the the flight information from Minneapolis had not loaded into the computer. The data that will allow the plane to fly itself, in the event of an unfortunate demise of a pilot, was a little slow being beamed thousands of miles into space and loading into our state-of-the-art aircraft, and the passengers collectively sighed, exasperated. For the record, just over a hundred years ago we celebrated a fifteen-second flight. Reminds me of this oldie but goodie from Louis C.K.:
Why so exasperated? This life ain’t so bad. I cannot remember a time when I went without a meal. I’ve slept on a mattress that was better than royals—even in college. I get on an airplane and travel thousands of miles in mere hours. My kids are healthy and will probably live well into their 100s. Yet, if the guy at Taco Bell shorts me a taco, I’m exasperated.
And now look, you just wasted a few minutes reading my rant. You should be exasperated. Sigh. | aerospace |

He provides below his perspective on the year ahead.
Q: What is one of the most important issues facing the A&D sector in 2013?
Tom Captain: The A&D industry is becoming more global due to heightened competition, growing travel demands and increased security requirements in emerging markets. Globalization provides opportunities for lower cost and for technologically advanced product introductions.
Increasingly, these products can be designed and manufactured virtually anywhere, anytime, largely due to the Internet and advancements in digital product definition, design and manufacturing software.
Globalization is also affecting product selections, in that military and commercial customers alike are requiring that value be “offset” by placing work in their countries of origin. This tendency is likely to continue, as traditional countries are pressured to keep their jobs at home, but is balanced by the need for companies to grow revenues and continue to reduce labor costs.
The trend in the industry toward globalization is also marked by new market entrants, particularly in the commercial aircraft segment, some of which receive government financial support that may potentially invite World Trade Organization review consideration in future years. For both the defense and commercial segments, it is expected that more governmental scrutiny and regulatory compliance will be required on acquisition practices in the areas of anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and ethical business practices in order to provide a more level playing field for competition.
Q: What are some steps companies in this sector can take to manage through the current climate of economic uncertainty?
Tom Captain: First, let me address defense and security. Defense revenues were flat through the first nine months of 2012 at the global level, but in the U.S., revenues continued to decline at negative .5% year over year. Indeed, only three out of the top 13 defense contractors doing business with the U.S. Department of Defense experienced revenue growth. Continued global economic challenges coupled with revenue gaps and cost pressures in 2013 may result in additional decreases in revenue, lower returns on invested capital, as well as margin contraction for many defense industry companies, creating pressure to consolidate in order to squeeze out excess defense segment capacity. In response, the segment is likely to undergo more streamlining of its cost structure, divestiture of non-core assets and additions of gap filling, as well as game changing acquisitions. Companies have also renewed foreign military sales efforts into new geographic markets that face increasing threats to national security. Effective execution of such strategies will be necessary in order for defense contractors to mitigate against more aggressive competition.
Next, let’s look at commercial and business aircraft. Growth in commercial aircraft manufacturers’ revenues is expected to reach record levels in 2013, based on increased production rates and the introduction of the next generation aircraft. It is likely that 2013 may continue the new trend of global production levels above 1,000 aircraft per year for the third year in a row. Backlogs are expected to continue growing, with airlines continuing to update their fleets with new fuel-efficient aircraft in order to stay competitive. Suppliers to aircraft original equipment manufacturers are likely to be challenged to keep pace with production requirements and are expected to invest in skills development, tooling and manufacturing capacity. Finally, for the first time in several years, the industry may experience an uptick in demand, albeit modest, in the business aircraft segment as well.¹
Q: What are high-performing companies doing to foster innovation and growth?
Tom Captain: Although it has only been 109 years since the Wright brothers’ first flight, the industry has contributed fundamentally to the way consumers live, work, travel and communicate, and continued innovations developed in areas such as jet aircraft, communications satellites, the Internet and global positioning systems. Also, the industry is primarily responsible for the reduction of casualties in armed conflict due to the technology innovations that increasingly keep war fighters out of harm’s way with unmanned aerial vehicles, sophisticated surveillance sensors and over the horizon strike capability. This industry has created the technology innovations that have contributed to the very fabric of society—from the ability to communicate globally around the clock from our personal digital assistants, to safe and efficient air travel, to securing our borders and defending our way of life.
If past is prologue, expect game changing technology innovations to continue to be created within the global A&D industry into the future. In the defense segment, some of the science and technology being developed include directed energy and high powered microwave weapons, hyper-sonic missiles, long-range and high-altitude unmanned aerial systems, satellite-based high resolution full motion video cameras and extraordinary software that can trace financial transactions of known terrorists.
For commercial applications, interesting technologies are being experimented with that can harvest solar power from space-based solar arrays, converted to microwaves or high voltage wireless signals to ground, air and sea-based distribution networks. The prospects of efficient supersonic commercial aircraft that can address the sonic boom and environmental challenges of the past are highly anticipated. These kinds of innovative technologies will change our society in immeasurable ways. Just like during the first century, the industry has changed the way humans interact on a global basis. This is indeed something to look forward to in the near-term, as well as in the future.

When you want to buy, own or operate an aircraft, it is best to get help from the right aviation attorney. The mistake most people make is to hire a regular business attorney to assist them in matters relating to aviation. Before you can work with an aviation attorney, you need to know the steps to follow in hiring the right attorney. As much as there are many aviation attorneys around, it can be hectic getting the right attorney who will meet your needs. In this article, we will take you through the steps you need to follow if you want to hire the right aviation lawyer.
Before you can decide to work with an aviation attorney, it is best to ask for recommendations of the best attorneys form differ professional including brokers and consultants. When asking for recommendations, don’t forget to check their source. When asking for recommendations, don’t go for a manufacturer of aircraft whom you want to buy a plane from. Suppose you want to buy an aircraft from a manufacturer, it is best to look for someone with experience in negotiating contracts with the manufacturer. You can set interviews with the candidates to determine their experience in aviation law.
Working with an experienced attorney will help you evaluate grounds for a case in the event if someone has a legal issue relating to the aviation industry. The beauty of hiring the right aviation lawyer is that the expert will help you deal with issues relating to product liability, injuries, wrongful death caused by plane crash. Understanding all the aviation regulations on your own can be hectic, however, with an aviation lawyer, you do not have to worry about understanding all the regulations since the experts know all the rules that govern flight safety, aircraft operation, airport security, among other aviation regulations. When you have an aviation lawyer by your side, they will investigate the issue for you to determine the best way to resolve the situation.
When searching for an aviation lawyer, it is best to look for the right candidate they will provide you with the emotionally detached support you need and will help you make wise choices about your future and the future of your family after getting involved in an airplane crash.
Another thing aviation companies need to pay attention to is the cost of hiring aviation attorneys. Aviation companies that want to hire the best attorneys need to first compare the amount of money they will pay different attorneys. When you ask about the amount the lawyers will charge for their services, you will find that they work on contingency. On contingency, clients pay once the lawyer has provided the services. By following the tips, you will be guaranteed of getting the best aviation lawyer. | aerospace |

Currently, over 20 students specializing in various engineering fields are working to get ready PW-Sat3 for launch in 2023.
The mission plan aims to test the following subsystems prepared by association members:
- Cold-gas propulsion – A growing number of satellite constellations cause high demand for propulsion systems on the CubeSat market. Following the trend, our team designed butane propulsion with an additional heating chamber and membrane for phase separation. According to the mission plan, the device will perform orbit correction and deorbit maneuvers to address collision risk and space debris problems.
- Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) – essential to effectively perform maneuvers with the cold-gas propulsion. We develop our own pointing algorithms including SIL/HIL solution basing on COTS components. We are also considering testing Earth Horizon Sensors based on the low-res IR matrixes as the secondary ADCS experiment.
- Camera module to capture images of our planet. We will send them back to Earth in order to inspire even more people about engineering and space exploration.
- HAM radio experiments – similarly to PW-Sat2 team, we also want to leave a positive mark among the HAM radio society. Besides making telemetry public, the team is working on implementing a transponder and various easter eggs to make interacting with the satellite interesting and fun.
Goals & Achievements
The PW-Sat initiative is first and foremost about student education. Members gather important experience from working on the advanced satellite projects and are given the opportunity to build and test innovative solutions. PW-Sat3 has received attention at many significant events, including the International Astronautical Congress and IEEE Aerospace Conference in Montana. We participated in 3 training sessions at the European Space Agency, and also presented our achievements at conferences such as the 3rd SSEA in Leicester. The project resulted in a number of interim papers, bachelor and master’s theses. Students also participate in internships at companies related to the space sector.

In modern-day society, cosmic infrastructures, such as space stations and satellites, occupy above the Earth's surface, allowing navigation and communication technology to embed our daily lives below. Even in the subsequent future, when global warming or large-scale natural disasters create mass extinction scenarios, humanity can travel through the universe to more preferable habitats and avoid the dangerous consequences entirely. Losing access to this universal space around and beyond our planet can be devastating for the human race. Ironically, with every rocket launched or satellite stationed into orbit, space travel progresses towards implausibility. We are transforming the Earth into an inescapable cosmic prison guarded by our space junk. Humanity could become the unfortunate inmates imprisoned on our dying planet.
Like most things in the universe, gravity plays a crucial factor in forming a cosmic trap. The balance between an object's velocity and the gravitational pull of another body in space creates an orbit. Masses traveling along this elliptical path tend to stay in trajectory for centuries. Because of this, scientists station cosmic infrastructures throughout low Earth orbit (LEO), an area above Earth's surface in which orbit occurs, without the risk of them plunging into the atmosphere. However, space travel's unsustainable engineering is flawed upon entering this region.
To get rid of the unnecessary load, rockets, for example, detach from their empty fuel tanks once safely above Earth. The separated spacecraft exits its orbital path and leaves behind its dead-weight counterparts. Although some tanks crash back down to Earth or burn up in the mesosphere, much of the components remain within LEO.
Carolin Frueh, an astronomical researcher at Purdue University, goes against the use of modern spacecrafts, stating, "if we go on like this, we will reach a point of no return." The result of decades of space travel is hundreds of millions of space debris, from destroyed satellites to metal shards, traveling around the Earth.
Loose orbitals are an extensive byproduct of space travel, but just how threatening are they? According to NASA, space junk travels nearly 18,000 miles per hour above the Earth. Even pea-sized orbitals moving at these rates could penetrate satellites, dismantle rockets, and completely shatter other detached equipment. LEO contains debris that circles our planet at dangerous and uncontrollable speeds. The chances for collision are more likely than ever. Donald J. Kessler, a NASA astrophysicist, described how space activities and the use of satellites might become an aspiration in the future because of space debris collisions. Attempts to minimize the overall space junk composition around Earth are in use today, in the form of self-landing fuel capsules to satellite-use taxation, but imprisonment may still transpire.
Just one piece of orbiting shrapnel can severely damage our most sustainable space infrastructure. Compiled with the millions of others present above Earth, safely crossing LEO could be impossible in the coming decades. A cosmic prison entrapping humankind may be unavoidable no matter how far technology progresses. | aerospace |

Earlier in the day, NASA is scheduled to launch the space shuttle Discovery from the Kennedy Space Center in nearby Cape Canaveral, the first space shuttle launch in almost a year and the first ever on the same day of the Pepsi 400.
The launch is scheduled to take place at 3:48 p.m. and the "World Center of Racing" will be an excellent viewing spot.
The second fly-over at Daytona International Speedway will take place during the national anthem later that night and provided by four Air Force F-16s from the Ft. Smith, Ark.
"We think it's a real treat to have a space shuttle launch on the same day as we host the Pepsi 400 on Independence Day holiday weekend," Speedway President Robin Braig said.
Capping off the All-American night will be another high-flying spectacle as Santore & Sons Fireworks, located in nearby Bunnell, Fla., will once again display one of the largest fireworks shows in the Southeast.
Since the first nighttime running of the Pepsi 400 back in 1998, Santore & Sons has provided the post-race fireworks displays at "The World Center of Racing."
"There is no other show in the southeastern United States that has so many shells in one location throughout the July 4th holiday," said Santore & Sons Vice President Anthony Santore.
Tickets for the June 29-July 1 Pepsi 400 Weekend are available online at http://www.racetickets.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP. | aerospace |

“The UK has a long and noble tradition for exploration across our planet. It is time for a new vision and a more distant voyage.”
Today, the United Kingdom contributes less than 9% of the ESA budget with the majority coming from France, Germany and Italy. Why did things get to such a state? The truth, of course, is amazing.
It’s 1988. And you’re part of the Prospero Group
“Now my charms are all o’erthrown,
And what strength I have’s mine own,”
During the 1970s, the space race between the US and the Soviet Union cooled with the race to the moon being allegedly won by the US in their Apollo series. The ESA was quickly able to establish itself as a forerunner in space exploration and quickly became the leader in commercial space flights and payload delivery. Their delivery vehicle, the Ariane series, was proving successful despite negative PR following some flight failures.
The bulk of their rocket science was of course derived from post-war military science and focussed on the delivery of satellites. Prospero X-3 was the only British satellite to be launched by a British rocket and was launched with only a single experiment on board, an apparatus designed to test solar cells. After only two years component failure on Prospero resulted in the programme being labelled an abject failure. But the solar cell experiment was not the only equipment on board. Prospero can still be heard transmitting unknown coordinates and has a orbital lifetime of almost 100 years.
In The Tempest, Prospero was a deposed king who became a sorcerer, a godlike figure. The Prospero which orbits above us certainly has some such qualities.
Prospero can be described as many things. A vehicle. A weapon. A resource.
Prospero can transport objects from one place to another without them crossing the intervening space. Or time.
Prospero represents one of a few spatial and temporal man-made anomalies. On board was a smaller, more compact version of the devices which caused the Philadelphia Experiment and also used in the Montauk Project at Camp Hero. It was felt by the Prospero Group, part of the British National Space Agency, that building the device into something as cumbersome as a destroyer was pointless and keeping it on the ground was tantamount to useless as well as insanely dangerous. As a result, Prospero was launched into space.
Prospero can send people and objects to anything it can see. This includes places it can see in its past. So if you need to be in a certain place at a certain time, it will attempt to send you as close as possible before that time. This can also mean having objects sent into obscure places as they may need to lie undiscovered for days or weeks before being retrieved.

- October 28th, 1943
- Montauk Point, Long Island, 1981-1983
- Prospero Orbit, October 1971 – June 2064
Still needs filled out:
1. Where does Prospero orbit and what can it see?
2. We’ve got a very limited but very relevant time travel mechanism
3. Other co-terminous places may exist…. | aerospace |

In Gaza, the Health Ministry said in a message to reporters that 103 Palestinians have died and 487 injured since tensions began on Monday. Hamas militants fired more than 1,600 rockets into Israel on Monday in Gaza, while the Israeli military says it destroyed a lot of rockets from its missile defense system in the air. Let us know which missile defense technology does Israel have, by which it has thwarted this terrible attack….
90 percent effective
This Israeli air defense system is being called the ‘Iron Dome’. The Israeli military claims that its ‘Iron Dome’ system destroys 90 percent of the enemy’s missiles in the air. This air defense system also destroys the enemy’s drones.
World’s best defense system
The Israeli company Rafael Advance Defense System and the Israel Aerospace Industry have created this air defense system. The ‘Iron Dome’ air defense system considers the world as iron. It is one of the best defense systems in the world. It is capable of hitting in any weather, including day and night.
This is how its construction started
Let us now know the story behind its construction. In fact, the 2006 Israeli war with Hezbollah of Lebanon broke out. Thousands of rockets were fired by the enemies on Israel. Taking lessons from this, Israel announced the creation of an advanced air defense system.
Army Incorporated since 2011
Israel also took help of Allied States in the construction of this advanced air defense system and developed it rapidly while working. Israel has been protecting its citizens through this air defense system since 2011.
This is how it works
Let us now know how it works. Actually it is a ground-to-air defense system, which is equipped with radar and Tamir interceptor missiles. The radar gives information about enemy missiles and tells where the missile or rocket may fall and how far it is. After this, interceptor missiles do their job and enemy rockets are destroyed in the air.
The ‘Iron Dome’ air defense system is a multipurpose warhead. The interceptors in its missiles are so precise that enemy missiles, rockets and drones track and destroy the exact location in the air. The air defense system also has the capability to destroy fighter jets and helicopters.
These missiles also fail
The accuracy of the ‘Iron Dome’ air defense system is around 90 percent. It has the capability to thwart C-RAM, Cruise Missiles, Guided Missiles (Precise Guided Missiles, PGM), drones (UAVs) and other air strikes.
Naval version is also ready
This defense system can cause more than 2000 targets to collapse simultaneously. Israel has invested heavily on this world’s best air defense system (Iron Dome) to protect its people. Israel has also prepared a similar naval version for maritime security. It is named C-DOME. | aerospace |

Police divers and Army Corps of Engineers personnel retrieved the wreckage of a World War II plane from the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey on Saturday after the vintage aircraft crashed during a promotional flight, killing the pilot.
The P 47 Thunderbolt crashed Friday during a promotion for the American Airpower Museum, which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the P 47 this weekend.
Gordon was a veteran air show pilot with more than 25 years of experience, according to promotional material for a Key West air show last month. The website for the April air show says Gordon was an competency evaluator who certified performers to perform low level aerobatics.
Scott Clyman, flight operations pilot for the American Airpower Museum,cheap nfl jerseys called Gordon extraordinary pilot who understood the powerful message our aircraft represent in telling the story of American courage and valour. single seat P 47 crashed on a part of the river near where a US Airways commercial jet carrying 155 people splash landed safely in 2009 in what became known as the Miracle on the Hudson.
The plane was loaded on to a barge Saturday and taken to a heliport in lower Manhattan, where investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board can examine it as part of their investigation.
A witness to the crash, Hunter College student Siqi Li, saw smoke spewing from the plane and thought it was doing a trick.
made kind of a U turn, and then there was a stream of smoke coming from it, Li told the Daily News. was tilting down toward the water. I thought they were doing some sort of trick. I didn realize it at first, but it was a plane crash. The other two aircraft returned to the airport and landed safely.
Museum spokesman Gary Lewi said the plane was kept at the museum and was taking part in an air show at nearby Jones Beach this weekend.
The P47 Thunderbolts were the heaviest single engine fighter planes used by Allied forces in World War II. They first went into service in 1942, with the 56th Fighter Group based on Long Island.
Pilots flew over the museum in an aerial salute known as a man formation Saturday afternoon in a tribute honouring Gordon.
Clyman told fellow mourners that Gordon had always been fascinated by World War II fighter planes he quickly demonstrated the skill to master these demanding aircraft. Friday, Clyman said, fate decided was that he would not exit the fighter safely. And that loss is deeply felt beyond words. | aerospace |

It should be noted that under the auspices of the United Nations, World Space Week is celebrated from October 4 to 10 every year. In this regard, SPARCO has been working for the awareness of space science and technology across the country, which has also received international acclaim.
Regular SPARCO events began at the National Center for Remote Sensing and Geo-Informatics (NCRG) in Karachi. The special guest of the function was Mr. Amin Bahadur, Member, Space Technology. In his introductory remarks, he said that space science and technology festivals are held in more than 90 countries of the world every year. This year, women’s participation in space science was the theme.
Member Space Technology Mr. Amin Bahadur said that SPARCO has been celebrating World Space Week since 2005. Many capable women are playing a very important role in SPARCO which is a core part of the organization.
He said that in July 2018, Pakistan’s first remote sensing satellite PRSS One was developed and sent into space with the help of Jenny Space Agency. After that, Pakistan’s first technology evaluation satellite Pak TES One A was made which was designed in Pakistan in which national experts have played the most important role. Now, in the next phase, Pakistan’s multi-mission satellite MM-1 should be built, which will increase Pakistan’s expertise in space self-reliance, multi-spectral imaging, and technology.
Referring to the remote sensing and geoinformatics departments, he said that information and data services were being provided to all Pakistani institutions in this regard. These include the C-Pack project and other infrastructure information.
Talking about education and awareness of space science and technology among the people of Pakistan and especially the youth, he said that in the context of Code 19, SPARCO has worked on ‘Space Education and Awareness Drive’ (SEAD) which is one of the SPARCO. There is also a very large project.
Mr. Amin Bahadur said that 1500 schools from Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan have participated in Space Week this year.
Posters of ‘I am an astronaut’ competition were also put up by children between the ages of 8 and 11 at the event. Participants in the Space School and Space Ambassador competition also took part in the event. In addition, special buses have been designed for space science and technology awareness in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
The events, which began on October 4, will run through October 10, including the best space schools, space ambassadors, online training, webinars, nighttime astronomical observations, and other virtual events. | aerospace |

(Source NST) KUCHING: For the second time in three months, a helicopter en route to an offshore oil facility has crashed into the sea, this time off Bintulu.
A 26-year-old technician remains missing while seven others and the Super Puma L2’s two pilots were rescued in choppy waters about 40km out in the South China Sea yesterday.
The high seas drama started when the transport helicopter, chartered by Petronas Carigali and operated by Malaysian Helicopter Services Sdn Bhd (MHS), crashed in bad weather on its way to the B18 platform in the Bayan Balingian oilfield.Seven of the eight passengers and the two pilots were found by two Petronas rescue vessels sent from Miri but there was no trace of Irwan Fasla Aini Salihin as of Press time.The survivors have been sent to the Bintulu Hospital for observation.Fasla Aini is a technician with Dettech (M) Sdn Bhd, a Petronas contractor from Miri involved in maintenance work on the unmanned B18 mini-platform.
It is understood the twin-engined aircraft experienced technical problems while on its landing approach and risked crashing into the platform.
Sources told the New Straits Times that the helicopter was minutes away from the platform when the pilot announced an “emergency” and ditched the aircraft.
“Such emergency procedures are standard practice and those who are required to fly to oil platforms must undergo such safety courses.
“Shortly before ditching the aircraft, the pilot had prepared the passengers for a crash landing at sea.
“The missing passenger might have been swept away by strong currents or he might have failed to get out of the helicopter before it sank,” the source from Bintulu said.
Department of Civil Aviation regional director Huang Tiong Poh said the helicopter was initially carrying 16 passengers heading to platforms D35 and B18.
“The helicopter departed from Miri airport at 1.08pm heading to the D35 oil platform to drop off eight passengers and was heading towards the B18 mini-platform when it lost contact with the control tower in Kota Kinabalu at 2.40pm.
“The copter never reached B18,” Huang said, adding that a search and rescue operation was immediately mounted by MHS, Petronas and Shell teams from Miri and Bintulu.
According to the Meteorological Department, sea conditions at the crash site were stormy with wind speeds of between 40 to 60 kilometres per hour, and waves of up to 4.5 metres.
A brief Petronas statement confirmed the ditching of the aircraft, that one passenger was missing and search and rescue operations were still going on.
MHS and Petronas officials declined further comment.
Federal Marine Police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner II Datuk Jalaludin Abdul Rahman said search and rescue operations were launched three hours later, after police were informed of the incident by Petronas Carigali officials in Kuala Lumpur.
“We immediately alerted our marine base in Sarawak which despatched PA29 speed-boats to the scene. By that time a Petronas Carigali tugboat had already picked up the nine survivors, who were then transferred to our boats.”
Jalaludin said owing to failing light, police would continue search and rescue operations today with the assistance of scuba divers and additional boats.
“If need be, we will summon the assistance of other agencies to find the missing person and recover the wreckage of the helicopter for the investigating team,” he said.
Department of Civil Aviation director-general Datuk Kok Soo Chon said a probe team was being assembled to investigate the cause of the crash.
Yesterday’s crash was the fourth in just over a year involving helicopters belonging to MHS.
On Nov 5 last year, 20 men were plucked from the sea after the Super Puma helicopter they were in, which was chartered by ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc, went down near an oil rig.
The co-pilot, Ismail Bakar, 43, was among those rescued but pilot Captain Mohd Salleh Teguh from Johor perished in the crash.
The helicopter was believed to have developed technical problems while approaching the company’s Tapis B platform, about 103 nautical miles off Dungun in Terengganu. It crashed at 11.45am.
The helicopter had taken off from the Kertih Airport in Kemaman an hour earlier.
On Feb 23, the engine of a Super Puma helicopter caught fire as it was about to take off from Miri airport.
All the 14 oil rig workers and the pilot were unhurt.
On June 18 last year, a similar helicopter crashed in the South China Sea while flying to the B11 oil platform off Bintulu. There were no casualties.
Mangsa yang hilang, dikenali Irwan Saslas Aini Salihin, 26, juruteknik D-Tech Sdn Bhd, dipercayai tenggelam bersama bangkai pesawat itu.
Pengarah Wilayah Jabatan Penerbangan Sarawak, Huang Tiong Poh. berkata pihaknya menerima laporan pesawat itu terputus hubungan dengan menara kawalan dan hilang pada kira-kira jam 2.40 petang.
Helikopter itu, yang bertolak dari Lapangan Terbang Miri, kira-kira jam 1.08 tengah hari menuju ke pelantar minyak di perairan Bintulu, mulanya membawa 16 penumpang termasuk dua krew.
Ia selamat mendarat di pelantar minyak Bayan Balingian D35 dan menurunkan enam pekerja sebelum berlepas semula ke pelantar B18 di medan Bayan A untuk penghantaran seterusnya.
Bagaimanapun, pesawat berkenaan dilaporkan hilang kira-kira jam 2.40 petang. Berikutan itu, gerakan mencari dan menyelamat dilakukan menggunakan helikopter milik MHS dan Shell Bhd yang berpangkalan di Miri.
Huang berkata, helikopter berkenaan dikesan pasukan mencari dan menyelamat, kira-kira jam 5 petang.
Petronas pula dalam kenyataannya berkata, sehingga petang semalam operasi mencari dan menyelamat mangsa yang hilang masih diteruskan.
Syarikat itu menjelaskan, pesawat dengan lapan penumpang dan dua juruterbang itu terhempas kira-kira 80 km di luar pantai Bintulu, kira-kira jam 2.30 petang, tidak lama selepas bertolak dari sebuah pelantar minyak menuju sebuah lagi pelantar.
Enam daripada penumpang pesawat itu ialah kakitangan Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, manakala dua lagi bekerja dengan kontraktor yang dilantik syarikat itu.
Sementara itu, di Terminal MHS di Lapangan Terbang Miri, keluarga mangsa berkerumun untuk mendapatkan maklumat mengenai kejadian itu tetapi tidak dibenarkan masuk.
Ramai yang kecewa dan pulang selepas dimaklumkan mangsa yang selamat dihantar ke Hospital Bintulu untuk rawatan.
Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia melaporkan, ketika kejadian keadaan laut di perairan Sarawak bergelora dengan angin kencang bertiup dari arah timur laut selaju 50 hingga 60 km/j dan laut berombak setinggi tiga sehingga 4.5 meter. | aerospace |

From exploring the outer space to discovering the abyss of the underwater world. Just a step away, at least for science. Both environments are considered hostile to human beings, and yet they have pretty much the same technical, scientific, and survival challenges. Studying the effects of these extreme environments on man is the ultimate goal of DAN Europe and ALTEC SpA – Aerospace Logistic Technology Engineering Company, which signed a Memorandum of Understanding to launch joint scientific and technological research activities.
One of the first initiatives stemming from the collaboration is the SkiScubaSpace project, dedicated to researching the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of extreme skiing at high-altitudes, underwater diving, flying and being in the space.
DAN Europe has the task of setting up a complete diving laboratory with all the equipment needed to carry out medical and scientific tests while underwater. The same laboratory will be activated in every area of investigation. Cardiac and vascular ultrasounds, doppler, electrocardiogram, blood pressure measurement, and blood samples are just some of the tests performed by DAN’s Diving Safety Laboratory. | aerospace |

Airlines have made this decision in response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. surveillance drone. The U.S. government issued a warning that commercial airliners could become collateral damage and be attacked by mistake.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, FAA, issued a warning stating that there is a significant “potential for miscalculation or misidentification” in the region following the shooting down of a U.S. Navy RQ-4A surveillance drone. The aircraft, which has a wingspan slightly larger than a Boeing 737, was brought down by an Iranian surface-to-air missile on Thursday.
Following the warning several airlines including British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Qantas, Malaysia Airlines, andSingapore Airlines all announced that they would be rerouting flights to avoid the region.
This new warning by the FAA starkly indicates the danger. Previously, the FAA had warned of risk in the region, but now that an aircraft similar in size to the most popular commercial airliner, Boeing’s 737, with many analysts pointing to the shooting down of a Malaysian Airlines flight over the Ukraine in 2014 which resulted in the deaths of 283 passengers and 15 crew.
These route changes could have a significant effect on the bottom lines of several Gulf long-haul carriers, which already have faced challenges under the Trump administration.
“The threat of a civil aircraft shoot-down in southern Iran is real,” warned OPSGROUP, a company which monitors the world’s airspaces for changes and risks which could affect their 5,000+ member airlines, pilots, controllers, and dispatchers.
The FAA made a similar warning in May to commercial airliners of the possibility of Iranian anti-aircraft gunners mistaking them for military aircraft.
Mistakenly misidentifying a passenger jet for a military jet can happen. It occurred in the region 30 years ago. In July, 1988 the U.S. Navy accidentally shot down Iran Air Flight 655 killing all 290 on board. The passenger jet was hit by a SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired by the USS Vincennes, a U.S. Navy Guided Missile Cruiser. The U.S. vessel fired the missile at the passenger jet thinking it was an Iranian military jet about to attack.
The warning affects the area of the Tehran Flight Information Region. The FAA did not elaborate on the warning and the FAA’s operations center referred all questions to their press office, which has yet to respond to Cruise & Travel Report’s questions. According to flight experts, the area not only includes the Tehran Flight Region, but it likely extends as much as 15 miles off of the Iranian coast
There are “heightened military activities and increased political tensions in the region, which present an inadvertent risk to U.S. civil aviation operations and potential for miscalculation or misidentification,” the FAA said. “The risk to U.S. civil aviation is demonstrated by the Iranian surface-to-air missile shoot-down of a U.S. unmanned aircraft system on 19 June 2019 while it was operating in the vicinity of civil air routes above the Gulf of Oman.”
The Persian Gulf is home to some of the world’s top long-haul carriers, who already have been battered by Trump’s travel bans targeting a group of predominantly Muslim countries, as well as an earlier ban on laptops in airplane cabins for Mideast carriers. Etihad, the Abu Dhabi-based long-haul carrier, said it had “contingency plans” in place, without elaborating.
“We will decide what further action is required after carefully evaluating the FAA directive to U.S. carriers,” the carrier told The Associated Press.
Emirates, the long-haul carrier in Dubai near the Strait of Hormuz, said in a statement to AP that it was “rerouting all flights away from areas of possible conflict.” Its sister airline, the low-cost carrier FlyDubai, said it “adjusted some of the existing flight paths in the region as a precautionary measure.”
Qantas said it would reroute its London flights to avoid the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman. British Airways, KLM, Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines said their flights would avoid the strait. Lufthansa said it would avoid both the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, as well as nearby land. However, it said it would continue its flights to Tehran.
Qatar Airways did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Iran said the U.S. drone “violated” its territorial airspace, while the U.S. called the missile fire “an unprovoked attack” in international airspace over the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf. OPSGROUP said the Iranian weapons system that shot down the drone was comparable to the Russian Buk system used in 2014 Malaysian Airlines shoo-tdown in Ukraine.
“Any error in that system could cause it to find another target nearby – another reason not to be anywhere near this part of the Straits of Hormuz,” OPSGROUP said.
The incident immediately heightened the crisis already gripping the wider region, which is rooted in Trump withdrawing the U.S. a year ago from Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal and imposing crippling new sanctions on Tehran. Recently, Iran quadrupled its production of low-enriched uranium to be on pace to break one of the deal’s terms by next week while threatening to raise enrichment closer to weapons-grade levels on July 7 if Europe doesn’t offer it a new deal.
Citing unspecified Iranian threats, the U.S. has sent an aircraft carrier to the Middle East and deployed additional troops alongside the tens of thousands already there. All this has raised fears that a miscalculation or further rise in tensions could push the U.S. and Iran into an open conflict, 40 years after Tehran’s Islamic Revolution.
“We do not have any intention for war with any country, but we are fully ready for war,” Revolutionary Guard commander Gen. Hossein Salami said in a televised address Thursday. | aerospace |

The last flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery is due to take off today, with one, or at most two, more flights planned of other vehicles.
We are accustomed to think in terms of looking forward with wonder at what the future will hold. But the case of the space shuttle, the supersonic passenger aircraft Concorde and lunar landings, will have my children and grandchildren looking back in wonder. Realizing that I lived in a time when business people regularly crossed the Atlantic faster than the speed of sound and when astronauts landed on the moon and traveled into space and back in a reusable vehicle. The drivers for these achievements are a mix of national pride, competitiveness and co-operation.
It is a human instinct to want to build on and supersede the achievements of previous generations. But one of the challenges to sustainability is that we tend to do that in the most visible and measurable ways – further, faster, bigger, more often, more ambitious. Often this striving to supersede, requires more resources. Sometimes, as within the case of Concord, the dream simply wasn’t sustainable.
Just like the next person, distant exploration and speed excite me. My heart will certainly speed up and I will feel a pride in American ingenuity when I see Space Shuttle Discovery take off. Nevertheless, while I will be sad to see the end of the program, I hope that it could mark a turning point in the way we judge progress.
Instead of further, bigger, stronger and faster, I hope we can come together to celebrate success from achieving objectives that are just as technologically demanding, but measured by their contribution to sustainability rather than by speed, distance and size of the smoke plume!
post script 16 November 2010 – ironically, the space shuttle Discovery has not yet lifted off due to a series of technical issues that are still being addressed | aerospace |

Join Alexander Geppert (NYU) at this public seminar as he identifies how the race for space required the development of a new vocabulary.
At the center of the so-called Space Age lay the promise of a collective future beyond planet Earth. Reaching for the stars and conquering the heavens by means of rocket technology, it was widely assumed, would result in a world-uniting planetary consciousness and herald a new epoch in human history. Based on a reading of Space Age dictionaries written in English, French, German, Italian and Russian and published between 1954 and 1988, this talk argues that the new language of space created as part of the so-called spaceflight revolution can be understood as a form of poetics that tried to reconcile technical requirements with the eschatological hopes deeply ingrained in European space thought and twentieth-century astroculture. At the same time the talk offers a pointed critique of many of the terms, concepts and analytical categories space and Cold War historians conventionally employ, from the ‘conquest of space’ to the ‘final frontier’, juxtaposing them with some of my own, including ‘astroculture’, the ‘post-Apollo paradox’, ‘planetization’ and others.

Air Canada and WestJet Airlines LTR announced earlier this month they will be offering in-flight Internet connectivity.
Air Canada intends to implement the service by installing WiFi services to 30 narrow body aircrafts by the end of this year, said Peter Fitzpatrick, media spokesperson for Air Canada Ontario.
This would make Air Canada the first Canadian airline to offer this type of service. They plan on having all 130 planes ready by the end of 2015, said Fitzpatrick.
WestJet said in a news release that it would be able to equip one plane by fall of this year to begin testing.
“The test plane will fly throughout our network, as will each aircraft as it is equipped,” said Robert Palmer, a spokesperson for WestJet.
Air Canada has been running a pilot project since 2006 with the help of Gogo Inflight. Two planes were equipped for testing and flew between Toronto, Montreal and L.A, said Fitzpatrick.
Canadian airlines had not been able to provide this service because the infrastructure had not been completed in Canada, said Fitzpatrick.
“The system we are using requires ground towers. So there wasn’t a network of those across the country,” he said.
Ground based cellular technology and satellite technology are the two types of equipment used for Internet connections during flights, said Steve Nolan spokesperson for Gogo.
“Gogo provides both of those technologies and the ground based cellular technology is proprietary to Gogo only. We call that ATG, or air to ground. Air to ground is only available in the United states and Canada,” he said.
Air Canada and WestJet said they would be investing in satellite technology for international flights in the future.
WestJet will be working with Panasonic to launch an entertainment package that includes live TV channels, movies, magazines and Wifi. WestJet will be using satellite technology in order to provide these services.
“I would definitely use it. Every year my family goes on a trip during reading week and it would be nice to get some work done on the flight. Or just chat with my friends on Facebook,” said Jonathan Franco a second year Business Student at Humber College.
Internet speeds will vary depending on the technology being used by the airline.
“The peak speeds for Gogo’s next generation air to ground technology is 10 Mbps (megabits per second). And then the technology that they’re looking at using down the road on international fleets is a satellite technology that is capable of delivering 70 Mbps,” said Nolan. In theory, a passenger could download a two gigabyte movie in just over four minutes.
Nolan said Gogo would be in charge of managing the network once the project is up and running.
Prices for the service have yet to be disclosed. | aerospace |

BEIJING, Oct. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Shenzhou-13 crew has entered the Tianzhou-3 cargo craft to transfer the cargo, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) on Sunday.
After successfully stationing in China's space station core module Tianhe, the Shenzhou-13 crew opened the hatch of the Tianzhou-3 cargo craft and entered it at 9:50 a.m. (Beijing Time), the CMSA said.
The crew will also open the hatch of the Tianzhou-2 cargo craft. They will carry out cargo transfer and other related work as planned.
The Shenzhou-13 spaceship was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gobi Desert Saturday.
After Shenzhou-13 successfully completed a fast automated rendezvous and docking with the core module Tianhe, the crew entered the core module. They will stay in orbit for six months, setting a new record for China's crewed space mission duration.

Almost four tons of equipment for the ISS were on board.
Among them, the coolant system for the alpha magnetic spectrometer (AMS-02) built at RWTH Aachen University.
The particle detector AMS-02 was brought to the International Space Station in May 2011 with the last flight of the space shuttle Endeavour. Since then, the seven-ton spectrometer has been measuring cosmic ray particles with unprecedented precision and has already recorded 140 billion of them. These data provide new insight into the high-energy processes of the Milky Way and allow us to investigate questions about the nature of dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. More than 500 scientists from 16 countries worked on developing the 1.5 billion dollar experiment over more than 15 years.
The central element of AMS-02 is a silicon tracker that measures the trajectories of cosmic ray particles and is operated by a closed cooling circuit at a constant zero degree Celsius. The heat produced must be dissipated into space with a coolant system.
Three of the four redundant pumps in the coolant system, initially designed for three years of operation, have now failed after eight years.

But most recently, it is home to engineered human heart tissues that launched into space aboard the Space-X CRS-27 to the International Space Station. Researchers are now using the expansive lab space, which includes microscopes, various measurements, tissue culture facilities and a lot of collaborative spaces, at Johns Hopkins All Children’s by processing and taking a deeper look into the heart tissue.
“This is a perfect example of our collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medicine, which is part of our mission,” says Laszlo Nagy, M.D., Ph.D., co-director of the hospital’s Institute for Fundamental Biomedical Research.
The study led by Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers, including doctoral student Devin Mair and Deok-Ho Kim, Ph.D., turned to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital for an additional collaboration to minimize the risks of compromising the tissue. They chose to drive the samples across the state of Florida from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Florida, to St. Petersburg instead of flying them to Baltimore. Visiting student, João Carlos Remelho de Freitas from the Nagy laboratory assisted Mair in processing the samples.
“Our building is a very important asset,” says Nagy. “Our Baltimore colleagues are all amazed at the quality of the infrastructure and the sources and quality of people here at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital. It’s very important to emphasize that buildings don’t do science — people do.”
Kim, his postdoctoral researcher Jonathan Tsui, and Mair previously sent heart tissue into space in March 2020. Those experiments, presented at the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society-Americas 2022 Annual Meeting, showed that microgravity in space changed the cells’ mitochondria and the tissues’ ability to contract. This means it could be a potential indicator of cardiac problems.
“There are two real purposes of this research. The first half that NASA’s interested in is, ‘What are the effects of long-duration space flight on the human heart?’ because NASA hopes to establish a permanent moon base as well as trips to Mars, and we don’t currently understand what these impacts could have on the human heart,” Maier says. “The second part in the research is figuring out how we can prevent that, so we’re hoping that the drug panel that we selected prevents the damage we saw on our first space flight and will enable future space flights.”
A total of 96 tissues were sent up and treated with three FDA-approved medicines to the samples in efforts to prevent heart cell changes known or suspected to occur in those undertaking long-duration spaceflights.
“If we are able to treat it for microgravity, the same treatment could potentially be utilized for dosing the astronauts continuously during their space flight,” Maier says.
It is also possible that the study could inform how age-related cardiac problems are treated because the heart changes in space explorers mimic changes linked to heart muscle aging in general.
“It’s a very cool science, and just a nice embodiment of a collaborative effort which can result in significant findings,” Nagy says. | aerospace |

A Glimpse Of The Past Through The Charles Lindbergh Collection - One of the most phenomenal results of Charles A. Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic was the impact upon his life and upon aviation itself. After his triumphal landing near Paris, Lindbergh said that his life was "never the same," prompting him to reflect on his life up to that pivotal moment in 1927. Born in Detroit, Michigan, the family soon took up residence in Little Falls, Minnesota, where he had fond childhood memories of the farm; fishing and hunting, the spell cast by the Mississippi River, riding his motorcycle, and learning to drive the Model T Ford, "Maria". He began a college education in engineering at the University of Wisconsin in 1920, but poor grades and lack of interest put an end to formal education. He learned to fly at a flying school in Nebraska in 1922, and soon was barnstorming across the West and South, surviving numerous "crashes." Lindbergh graduated from the Army Flying School at Kelly Field, in Texas, and received a Second Lieutenant commission in the Army Air Service Reserve at age 23. By 1926 he was flying a St. Louis - Chicago mail route for Robertson Aircraft Corp., giving him ample time and experience with demanding flying conditions to think about attempting to win the Orteig Prize. Being the first to fly the Atlantic nonstop would mean $25,000, and Lindbergh interested a number of backers from St. Louis to fund the idea. The plane was designed by Donald Hall and built by Ryan Airlines of San Diego, according to Lindbergh's specifications, for about $14,000. The leading contenders for the prize appeared to be Commander Richard Byrd, Chamberlin, and the French aviators Nungesser and Coli. Since Lindbergh's plane was just nearing completion, it would probably be too late to attempt the flight before all the others. Then, Nungesser and Coli left Paris flying west and disappeared without a trace. The others experienced crashes, damages, crew problems, and other glitches that opened the door for Lindbergh. Byrd, who was very close to making his own attempt, came to the hanger and graciously offered Lindbergh the use of his runway at Roosevelt Field, and access to his weather data. Lindbergh had been ready to take off on Monday, May 16, but encountered bad weather. On Thursday he decided to take in the theater. On the way Lindbergh called the Weather Bureau and learned the weather over the Atlantic had unexpectedly cleared up. The flight was on. With almost no sleep for 23 hours he took off on Friday, May 20, 1927 at 7:54 am from New York, and landed 33 1/2 hours later at Le Bourget Aerodrome, Paris ... and his life changed forever. Two weeks later Chamberlin flew nonstop, landing in Germany. President Coolidge ordered the USS Memphis to pick up Lindbergh and his plane. Shortly after his return he visited Orville Wright in Dayton and later gave Henry Ford his first airplane ride. He arranged funding for Robert Goddard's pioneering rocket experiments and also served with Hap Arnold to reorganize the Strategic Air Command. He conducted tests at the Mayo Clinic on the physical demands of flying and also was promoted by Ike to Brigadier General. His actual plane, The Spirit of St. Louis, today is preserved at the Smithsonian Institution, and still provides untold inspiration to all who view it. Lindbergh's flying accomplishments promoted and refined the aviation world, and although he never expected it, his turned out to be a truly extraordinary life. In the end he died as he wished ... in Maui, Hawaii. Charles A. Lindbergh "Ten years spent as a pilot on an airplane is in value worth more than an ordinary lifetime." | aerospace |

And Thursday is a planet Posted on Twitter SkySat video of the first stage of Falcon 9 shortly after it touched down at Landing Zone 1.
Transporter-3 said the total number of Planet satellites launched over the years has reached more than 500. Another tweet on Thursday.
Many of those spacecraft have been lifted by SpaceX.
“We had the pleasure to launch again with SpaceX, which has now brought a total of 127 Planet satellites across across eight launches,” Planet Founder and CEO Will Marshall Wrote in a blog post on Thursday. “This marks our first launch with SpaceX under the new multi-year, multi-launch flight-sharing agreement.” Signed in 2021. “
Marshall added that the newly launched 44 Super Dove join an existing fleet of about 200 of the planet’s satellites.

AstroForge is one of a number of companies that are looking to capitalize on the untapped resources of space, and it will be interesting to see how its operations develop over the coming months and years.
AstroForge's first launch, scheduled for April 2023, will test the company's technique for refining platinum from a sample of asteroid-like material. The second launch, planned for October, will be used to scout for an asteroid near Earth that could be mined for resources.
AstroForge's missions are part of its goal to refine platinum-group metals from asteroids, with the aim of reducing the cost of mining these metals. It also hopes to reduce the massive amount of carbon dioxide emissions that come from mining rare Earth elements on Earth, Chief Executive Officer Matthew Gialich said in an interview.
"We do our refining on site, so we are refining on the asteroid itself," said Gialich. "We are not bringing back the material back to Earth to do refining. A lot of the waste you see from these mines is in the process of refinement."
AstroForge, a company based in Huntington Beach, California, came out of stealth mode in May of last year when it announced that it had raised $13 million in seed funding. The company claims that the October mission will be the first commercial deep-space flight outside of the gravity well of Earth, with the exception of one previous example.
Gialich noted that the only other example of a private company launching a vehicle into deep space is Elon Musk's Tesla, which was launched by SpaceX's Falcon Heavy in 2018. However, he stressed that this should not be considered a true mission since Musk simply launched the Tesla and then forgot about it.
AstroForge plans to launch a small standardized satellite into low-Earth orbit as one of many payloads on a SpaceX Transporter rideshare mission.
The company plans to launch its second craft in October to scout out a previously identified near-Earth asteroid for a future mining mission. The satellite will be transported by a Space Exploration Technologies Corp. rocket carrying a lunar lander from another startup, Intuitive Machines. This will be the second mission to the moon by Intuitive Machines; its first is set to launch as early as the first quarter of this year.
AstroForge plans to use the Intuitive Machines flight's deep-space destination by sending its own vehicle into lunar orbit. From there, AstroForge's 100-kilogram spacecraft will leave to head for a target asteroid. The company is not announcing the target yet and says it probably won't until they're done mining the asteroid.
AstroForge's entry into the space industry comes a few years after the collapse of the asteroid mining boom. Two of the larger companies in the field, Planetary Resources Inc. and Deep Space Industries Inc., formed roughly a decade ago with the goal of mining asteroids. However, neither company actually visited any asteroids, and both eventually ran into financial difficulties. Both companies were eventually acquired and rerouted to other endeavors.
The company will also have to work hard to make its business successful. The most that has ever been collected from an asteroid at one time is 250 grams from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, which is currently on its way back to Earth.
Gialich said AstroForge had learned lessons from the two companies’ failures. He said he’d spoken with Daniel Faber, the former CEO of Deep Space Industries, and that AstroForge was working with advisers from Planetary Resources to discuss how to make asteroid mining work and to select asteroids for mining.
"I believe that the biggest difference between us and those two companies is the progress we've made in the last 10-15 years," said Gialich. "We can now buy a rideshare mission to the moon."
AstroForge plans to outsource most of the infrastructure surrounding its missions. For instance, a separate company, OrbAstro, will build its spacecraft, while AstroForge will rely on companies like SpaceX for launch. AstroForge's primary focus is on developing in-space refining technology and mapping out mission trajectories, Gialich said.
Gialich said that he wants to bring the cost of mining platinum metals down to $50 an ounce, which is significantly lower than the current price of $975 an ounce. He attributes this potential decrease in price not to any unique mining technology that his company possesses, but rather to the fact that they will be mining in an area where the concentration of platinum metals is much higher than any other known ore deposit on Earth. Consequently, this makes the economic case for his company much stronger.
The company recently published a paper in coordination with the Colorado School of Mines highlighting the possible concentration of metals from asteroids that are available. The paper discusses the potential for mining these metals and how they could be used in various industries.
AstroForge plans to launch a third mission to touch down on the asteroid they’ve scouted, followed by a fourth mission that will actually attempt to land on the asteroid, extract and refine its metals, and then return to Earth if all goes well with the first two flights.
"Although we're hoping for a February 2025 launch, we know that space is unpredictable and there are always risks involved," said Gialich.

PlaneBook is an electronic document management system, a handy resource for pilots. The app provides pilots easy and quick access to critical flight information and air-craft specific documents, such as the Airplane Flight Manual, Operating Manual, pilot checklist and Quick Reference Handbook.
The PlanBook app also allows pilots to create and add their own content, including checklists, standard operating procedures and other reference materials. In addition, instructional videos for each of Gulfstream’s aircraft have also been included. The Gulfstream PlaneBook App is available now from the Apple App Store.
Gulfstream has announced that it will resume production on the ultra-long-range G650, following a crash last month involving a G650 flight-test aircraft that killed four people and led to the company suspending flight testing. The company says they’re working hard with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to resume the required flight-test activities and is confident that the aircraft will be on track for its 2012 entry.
Gulfstream hit a significant milestone in the certification program of their new aircraft, the G650. According to the press release, the fifth and final flight-test aircraft hit the air on January 24, 2011. All five aircraft apart of the flight-test campaign have logged more than 1,100 hours in the program and have passed a broad number of tests. The company is one step closer to public release and certification is right on track for 2011 with first deliveries in 2012.
Gulfstream recently set a new speed record for the Gulfstream G450 business jet for flying from Tokyo to Hong Kong. The aircraft took off at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport at 10:50 am. local time on June 7, 2010. It flew 1,694 nautical miles at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.85, landing 3 hours and 58 minutes later at 1:48 p.m. local time at Hong Kong International Airport.
The National Aeronautic Association (NAA) confirmed the flight as a U.S. record and forwarded the figures to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) in Switzerland for approval as a world record.
Private aviation has become a favorite among the elite. The Gulfstream IVSP is a delicate business jet aircraft fitted to accommodate all your business needs. The private jet comes equipped with 11 seats, which is a ton of room for all your clientele and employees to chat it up while flying to your next destination. There’s nothing boring on this plane as it boosts premium leather seats and ultra thin monitors for entertainment. Pricing for the jet is available on request only. | aerospace |

NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter has seen a lot on the Red Planet since it sent its first image back to Earth just over a year ago. Ingenuity has now set its sights on wreckage and debris from the Perseverance rover’s successful landing on Mars. Ingenuity’s new photos could still help inform future missions to Mars.
When the Perseverance rover landed on Mars, it was parachuted to the surface while protected by a backshell. This shell helped ensure a safe landing but was destroyed in the process. Ingenuity has captured detailed images of Perseverance’s backshell, supersonic parachute and associated debris.
‘Perseverance had the best-documented Mars landing in history, with cameras showing everything from parachute inflation to touchdown,’ said Ian Clark of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Clark was a Perseverance systems engineer and is now a Mars Sample Return ascent phase lead. ‘But Ingenuity’s images offer a different vantage point. If they either reinforce that our systems worked as we think they worked or provide even one dataset of engineering information we can use for Mars Sample Return planning, it will be amazing. And if not, the pictures are still phenomenal and inspiring.’
‘NASA extended Ingenuity flight operations to perform pioneering flights such as this,’ said Teddy Tzanetos, Ingenuity’s team lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. ‘Every time we’re airborne, Ingenuity covers new ground and offers a … | aerospace |

During the research and design of the older 767, launched in the late 1970s, Boeing conducted costly wind-tunnel tests on more than 50 possible wing designs. The Dreamliner, designed and flown in silico, needed only a dozen. Simulation has dramatically reduced the need for wind tunnel and full flight testing and enabled engineers to explore the most complex flows.
Like Sandia, economic considerations and physical insight have motivated Boeing's swift development of its simulation capability over the past 30 years. With simulation, new aircraft are designed and tested at rates impossible using only physical experiments.
Fletcher lists 5 main advantages of computational over experimental fluid dynamics: (1) lead time in design and development is significantly reduced; (2) simulation can simulate flow conditions not reproducible in experimental model tests; (3) simulation provides more detailed and comprehensive information; (4) simulation is increasingly more cost effective than wind-tunnel testing; (5) simulation produces a lower energy consumption. Adapting these to pharmaceutics: (1) computer simulation reduces research and development lead-times; (2) simulation can investigate mechanisms not easily reproducible in experimental models; (3) simulation provides more detailed and comprehensive information; (4) simulation reduces all experimental costs.
In 1975, Chapman, Mark and Pirtle laid down three practical aspirations for simulation in aerospace, namely to provide flow simulations that are impossible to produce using wind tunnel tests or other experiments, to cut the time and cost of building flow simulations and to provide more accurate flight simulations than wind tunnels can. We're not quite there yet, but the Dreamliner is evidence that these aspirations are becoming reality. In 2006 we can look forward, without romance, to a time when in silico simulations of biological processes will supersede in vivo experiments.
As usual, the future is arriving with quiet revolutions. And quickly. About which more next time. | aerospace |
