It has also affected the relationship between aerospace equipment manufacturers and their suppliers.
The fact is that OEMs and suppliers depend on each other for professional success. To ensure that both sides can continue to benefit professionally, they had to rethink of the way in which they do business.
Solutions to benefit OEMs and Suppliers
The first point that was realized was that OEMs could no longer simply give an order to a supplier and he would provide the materials needed. With the advent of new airlines and better technology, there was a need to find the best sources for the manufacturing processes. This led the OEMs and suppliers to work in coherence to understand the materials that would work best in creating new solutions with wire harnesses that would meet the current industry demands.
Earlier, to save on costs and time, a general design guideline was used by OEMs for designing and manufacturing wire harnesses. What would happen is that OEMs would ask the wire harnesses manufacturers to create a particular design. Today, more emphasis is being taken by the OEM to create wire harness designs that would suit their systems exclusively. So when wire harnesses manufacturers work with OEMs today, they are given a complete design, which they can simply manufacture according to the specifications provided by the OEM.
Servicing and Repair
In order to protect their designs and solutions, most aircraft manufacturers would conduct all the design and manufacturing processes in-house. The economic crisis made them realize that in-house servicing and repair is leading to extremely high expenses.
To cut down on expenses and staff, aircraft manufacturers started giving their wire harness servicing requirements to outside contractors. Aerospace manufacturers would also send out minor design changes to be performed by the contractors. However, the aircraft manufacturers would first finalize all the guidelines and specifications in-house. This gave them monopoly over the designs they were creating while they would save on costs thanks to outsourced manufacturing.
For testing aerospace wire harnesses and manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers could no longer depend on large, sophisticated equipment. This led to very high costs in terms of testing. OEMs began to work with computerized equipment manufacturers, who could design smaller sized portable equipment for wire harness testing. Technicians in the aerospace industry have found this new equipment to be a huge boon for their work. Equipment manufacturers are now working with OEMs to design and build small testing equipment that will have the same capabilities as the large testing equipment used by OEMs earlier. | aerospace |

Kayser Space Ltd is an SME primarily engaged in the design and manufacture of hardware supporting scientific and
technological research in space, its full certification to the space standards and the support to mission planning and operations. Their
mission is to incubate ideas, propose opportunities, assess the feasibility of scientific investigations and deliver space-worthy
technological solutions to implement them.
For space missions, especially long terms ones, size, weight and other constraints are such that meeting the protein
needs of astronauts is a big challenge. Future long duration space missions (years rather than days, to places such as Mars) will need
solutions for producing food in-situ. Conventional fresh meat production in space is not viable, hence cellular agriculture represents a
The purpose of Kayser Space Ltd’s project was therefore to establish the feasibility of a cellular agriculture system
(in this case cultivated meat), taking into account the space environment, current bioreactor technologies and nutritional
Specifically, the project aims were as follows:
- Assess the capability of cellular agriculture for cultivated meat production
- Frame this capability in the context of sustainability, food security and human health safety
- Assess resources needed, energy balance and potential for a closed loop system
- Identify and evaluate bioreactor technology best suited for utilisation in space
The project was funded by The European Space Agency and led by Kayser Space Ltd. Cellular Agriculture Ltd – the first
UK startup in the cultured protein field – were partners whose role was to design the bioreactor for the cell culturing.
Our role was to advise on the nutritional, food safety and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system
elements. Our first task was to evaluate various protein sources – of which cultivated meat was one – to assess their suitability for the
challenge at hand. We assessed a number of options, and cultivated meat was found to be the best suited to the task due to palatability
(important for astronaut morale) and amino acid profile (with respect to the 11 essential amino acids that we need our diets to provide).
The project team were able to assess the viability of a space-based bioreactor for producing cultivated meat capable
of providing the nutritional protein requirements of a crew on a long duration space mission.
It is considered highly feasible that the project’s bioreactor could be adapted (with limited modification) as a
cellular agriculture system for use in space.
The work has brought the idea of a ‘closed loop’ life support for deep space missions closer to reality.
The expertise on nutrition and knowledge of the food industry that Campden BRI brought to the UK consortium working
on the Cellular Agriculture for Future Space Missions case study, set us aside from the competition and significantly enhanced the
quality and depth of the analysis provided to the European Space Agency. Campden BRI’s commitment to the project and continued support,
is essential in our ability to pursue ‘next step’ activities as an established consortium
Ramón Nartallo, Programme Manager at Kayser Space Ltd
The technology is being taken forward to the next phase of study. There have been a number of areas identified for
further research, including how to generate raw materials onboard and how to recycle waste.
All partners want the collaboration to continue, and we have an approximate timeline mapped out for future work until
at least 2045. We need to work together to address the science and engineering questions that still remain, and test the potential

This is beneficial to the aircraft's overall performance because it increases the aircraft's overall lift capabilities, whereas a forward center of gravity has a detrimental effect on the aircraft's performance. However, a few aircraft with a nose-down en route attitude would require a forward center of gravity position. How does a forward center of gravity affect the stall speed, and why? A center of gTavity forward of the center of pressure will cause a higher stall speed. This is so because a forward center of gTavity would cause a natural nose-down attitude below the required en route cruise attitude for best performance.
Aileron control therefore is employed because the roll cycle is of sufficient duration to allow the pilot to apply the correct opposite aileron control. A severe Dutch roll may require two or three aileron inputs to dampen the oscillation gradually. What prevents Dutch roll? Yaw dampers prevent Dutch roll on swept-wing aircraft. A basic reason for the Dutch-rolling tendency of an aircraft (apart from the wing sweep, of course) is the lack of effective fin and rudder area to stop it. The smaller fin and rudder area is a design compromise that makes the aircraft spirally stable to a degree.
What is lateral stability? Lateral stability is the tendency for an aircraft to return to a laterally level position around the longitudinal axis on release of the ailerons in a sideslip. There are two principal features that make an aircraft naturally laterally stable, namely, 1. Wing dihedral. The airflow due to a sideslip causes an increase in the angle of attack (lift) on the lower (leading) wing and a decrease in angle of attack on the raised wing because of the dihedral angle. The lower wing thus produces an increase in lift because of the increased angle of attack, and the raised wing produces less lift. | aerospace |

We have observed a continuous improvement in aviation safety in the past ten years. The accident rate is currently at a historic low: one for every 4.4 million flights. However, 70% of the time, these aviation accidents are caused by human error.
How can we help aircraft pilots cope with excessive stress during special or difficult phases of flight? How can we understand the irrational decisions taken by crews and their apparent disregard of various alarms when unexpected situations occur? Accident analysis reveals that the complexity of modern transportation aircraft can overwhelm the most experienced crews when something goes wrong. The aim of the research led by Professor Dehais, holder of the AXA-ISAE Chair of Neuroergonomics for aviation safety, is to discover the underlying neural mechanisms of human error that cause pilots to persist in irrational decision-making.
The planned multi-disciplinary approach will combine the use of modern techniques in neuroimaging, signal processing, and artificial intelligence.
Outside of aviation, the research on human factors has applications for nuclear power operators, surgeons, and other high-stress occupations. But it has a medical use, too, helping stroke and brain injury victims.
We found that stress may temporarily impair cognitive abilities in the same way as a stroke. This is why we have a strong cooperation with medical institutes to better understand the underlying neural mechanisms that can lead to human error in the cockpit or with patients. | aerospace |

No matter how big or small, you are the master of your destiny! When it comes to changing the face of pilots, 17-year-old high school student Christopher Ballinger is doing that. He is among the youngest Black pilots in the country, thanks to an Air Force JROTC Flight Academy Program.
According to Fox 5, Chris confirmed he’s licensed to fly any single-engine land plane, which is the first step in becoming a pilot. Christopher participated in an eight-week Flight Academy program at Walla Walla University in Washington State. According to the university’s website, they offer three aviation degree options. In the program, students will learn how to fly, operate safely, and interact in the world of professional aviation.
In addition, students will be at the controls and learn firsthand the challenges and rewards of operating aircraft. Christopher, a rising senior at Sidwell Friends School, has a bright future. The teen plans to apply to the Air Force Academy after graduation. He offered some advice for younger students interested in following in his footsteps, saying to keep an open mind about all opportunities that present themselves!
Black people in the airline industry have been all over the news lately. As we previously reported, an American Airlines flight recently made history while celebrating the 100th anniversary of Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman to earn a pilot’s license. For the first time in the airline carrier’s 96-year existence, everyone involved, from the ramp to the gate, the cockpit, and the cabin, were all Black women!
The great-niece of Bessie Coleman, Gigi Coleman, spoke about her aunt’s legacy explaining, “My great-aunt received her license two years before Amelia Earhart. She wasn’t in the history books. No one knew about her.”
Well, everyone knows about Bessie now!

20 June 2007
Was it an accident? Did they realize what they were doing? Or are some NASA employees getting tired of supporting the lies?
|The image above is at the NASA site, Astronomy Picture of the Day,
for tomorrow, 21 June 2007:
It is a drawing of what the Earth's sky would look like during the daytime if the atmosphere did not scatter sunlight.
NASA admits that even with the sun shining, the stars would be visible.
|Eric Hufschmid's Science Challenge asked if Apollo astronauts
would be able to see stars while they were on the moon:
And would astronauts see stars as they traveled to and from the moon? Would astronauts in the space shuttle be able to see stars?
NASA has been claiming for decades that it is nearly impossible for astronauts to see stars, but now the Astronomy Picture of the Day admits that without an atmosphere, we would see stars even when the sun was shining.
Have you seen the Apollo press conference when Neil Armstrong and Mike
Collins said they didn't see stars? The video is on this page:
What is going on?
The man who drew the picture is Jerry Lodriguss. He is a professional
photographer, and his website is full of photographs of the universe:
In Hufschmid's more detailed PDF file about the Apollo moon landing
hoax, he mentioned this particular man on page 15:
Hufschmid sent him an e-mail a couple years ago to "Get a clue!" Has Jerry Lodriguss finally figured out that the Apollo moon landing was a hoax? Or has he known it was a hoax for many years?
Why would NASA put this on their website and admit that stars would be seen during daytime when there is no atmosphere to scatter the sunlight?
Is it possible that people are starting to rebel against the corruption? Is it possible that people are tired of maintaining the Apollo moon landing hoax? Are American men finally behaving like men rather than frightened children?
Or didn't NASA realize what they were doing when they put this page
on their site? Will this particular page be deleted as soon as they realize
what they just did? Will they frantically struggle to devise a flimsy excuse
to explain this page?
NASA to crash a probe into moon in 2008
They call it LCROSS. NASA wants to analyze the moon to
see if there is water on it. Why don't
they just analyze the hundreds of kilograms
that they claim the Apollo astronauts brought back from the moon? NASA's
excuse is that the astronauts only took samples near the surface! KQED
has a video describing the LCROSS program:
Colaprete is the LCROSS "Principal Investigator". Does he and other people
at NASA actually believe that they sent people to the moon? Or do they
all realize that NASA is just a big hoax?
What has NASA done in their decades of existence besides lie to us and
waste our money? Are the two Mars rovers really on Mars? Or are they in
an Australian desert?
Who wants to become an astronaut?
A lot of people might like to be an astronaut, but it requires keeping secret about NASA's many crimes. For example, have you noticed that none of the astronauts in the space station ever mention what the stars look like? Or what Mars looks like?
How about this report that claims the son of astronaut Virgil Grissom
accuses NASA of murdering his father:
NASA cannot let an honest person become an astronaut. The only people they allow to be astronauts are people with psychotic obsessions to become astronauts. These mentally ill people will keep the secrets because they desperately want to be an astronaut.
In other words, the astronauts are lunatics. This is why they exhibit so much psychotic behavior. | aerospace |

Tremendous writing by a truly remarkable man. Scott Kelly spent 342 consecutive days in space onboard the International Space Station. This book really gives the reader a sense of how hard it is to be an astronaut. The title captures it all. I could only imagine how amazing it would be to look at the earth from space. What an experience!
With the data collected from this amount of time in space, we hope to have a better understanding of what future astronauts will face on a mission to Mars. With Scott Kelly’s twin brother here on earth, scientists were able to compare the two men and the effect of space on the human body.
Fantastic book for the person like me with a fascination for space. At 365 pages, the chapters alternate between his past and becoming an astronaut and his time on the International Space Station. With vivid and humorous storytelling abilities, you will quickly find yourself becoming immersed in the story.
This book makes you really appreciate what these brave men & women go through in order to advance our knowledge of the Cosmos. It is a true testament to the spirit, drive and unrelenting human condition to push ourselves past our comfort zone.
Highly recommended by this space nerd!

On 6 July, the spacecraft Soyuz MS-01 is scheduled to blast-off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, heading for the International Space Station (ISS). On board, will be Dr Kate Rubins, who, along with Anatoli Ivanishin and Takuya Onishi, will be part of the 48th expedition to the ISS, due to return in November this year.
Does a pipette work in space? with NASA Astronaut DR Kate Rubins
Before training with NASA, Kate worked as a microbiologist, most recently at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, where she worked on emerging viruses such as the Ebola and Lassa viruses.
For this month’s podcast, we caught up with Kate as she prepared for her mission, and chatted about the experiments she’ll be undertaking in space, what it’s like to train to be an astronaut, and whether a pipette works in microgravity…

However, here’s a screenshot of an epic fail.
Why is it showing progress of a flight that, according to the same screen, has been cancelled?
This is a flight that my nephew Nick was on from Nashville to D.C. right before a snowstorm. It was an important flight because he was heading back to Istanbul that evening from Dulles. It had been cancelled the night before the flight and after 2 hours of hold time and many conflicting stories, he was told that first, he was re-booked on a flight the following day and second, that he could not change his international flight. Ouch.
The conflict remained throughout the actual day of the flight . We still got him to the airport for his original flight, which, despite the information provided, was not cancelled. He made his flight to Istanbul and all was right in the world.
But why, o ye technology gods, can you screw up so badly? Come to find out, the flight was cancelled and then re-instated. My guess is that the system feeds are not designed to communicate vacillating changes and couldn’t cancel the cancelled status. Epic fail considering what is at stake with flight statuses. To be fair to all, the carrier website showed the correct status. However, their lack of communication (1.5 hour phone queues) and no messaging back to the re-booked passengers to notify them the flight was back on is just as bad as the incorrect status at flightstats.
Makes me long for the old days. But just briefly. | aerospace |

All this indicates that we all have been interested in space since a very young age. Almost eighty percent of us have a dream to be an astronaut. However not everyone is lucky enough to be chosen for a trip to space. On an estimate about 550 people went to space. Apart from these lucky people, there are also some lucky animals that got the ticket for Space.
At first when nobody knew about the temperature and conditions in space, scientists used to send animals so that they could see what actually is in space. In 1947, when for the first time a spaceship was sent into space, the only passenger in it was a fruit fly. Then after the fruit fly dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, mice, and even chimpanzees were sent to space.
In this article we aim to provide tribute to the unsung hero of science that is Enos! Enos the chimpanzee. Enos was born on 3rd April 1960, and was brought up in the farm of Miami, America. During that time, NASA was looking for some chimpanzees to train so that they can send them in space, and can know about the conditions, situations, and realities of space. Enos was among the very few lucky chimpanzees, or we can say lucky living beings that got selected for the space mission.
Enos was trained for about 1.5 years and for 1200 hours. Whenever, he performs the task right he was rewarded with a banana and whenever he makes a mistake he is given an electric shock. The shock was given to prepare him mentally, as he was supposed to get the shocks in shuttle too. The chimpanzee was trained to not feel his weight in space. Many other chimpanzees too were trained with Enos, but only he got selected for the mission.
Then after all the hard work and hours of training on 29th November 1961, he was finally sent on the mission. Unluckily, there was a fault in the space capsule and on pressing the right lever he got an electric shock. Poor chimpanzee continued doing what he was taught to do and he got 35 shocks. Thankfully, after some time the space capsule started working properly and then the chimpanzee carried on the mission. After a few minutes the fault again reappeared and Enos got 41 electric shocks. Poor soul altogether got 76 electric shocks. Then after that the temperature of the space capsule started to rise and then the scientists decided to end the mission. It seems like the luck of the poor chimpanzee was not helping him, and the space capsule landed at the wrong place. The chimpanzee was stuck inside a burning hot capsule for about 3 hours and 20 minutes. He was then shifted to hospital and there he showed a speedy recovery.
Later on 4th November 1962, Enos suddenly passed away and the scientists said that the death is not associated with the space mission at all. Yet some people blame the space capsule for the death of the poor chimpanzee Enos. Enos was the first chimpanzee to receive the Earth Orbit. | aerospace |

When it comes to mapping the agricultural landscape using satellites, Canada is a world leader in the field.
“There’s absolutely no question” about Canada’s leadership role in using satellites to generate data, says Andrew Davidson, Earth observation operations manager for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
“We collect imagery over Canada’s agricultural base and we use that to do various things,” Davidson says, like annual AAFC mapping of crop type and weekly monitoring of crop conditions, surface soil moisture and more.
Uses for satellite mapping
The satellite mapping is integrated with other pieces of information to “generate data and information products, which are value added pieces of information" for the use of various government departments or by industry stakeholders to help them make better decisions.
Davidson says the first step in satellite management process is taking an inventory of the agricultural base, determining the amount and current conditions.
AAFC relies on two types of satellites. One type is an optical sensor satellite, which is similar to a digital camera, he notes.
The satellites’ infrared wavelengths interact well with vegetation and can give a great indication of the type and health of crops, Davidson explains.
Another type is a radar satellite, which operate in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
AAFC integrates the information from the two types of satellites to say “what is on the surface of the Earth and how it’s doing,” Davidson says, adding, “all these data streams integrated together give us a really good picture.”
In addition to Canadian satellites, AAFC uses satellites operated by other governments, such as Japan and China, and ones operated by other governments’ departments, such as NASA and the United States Geological Survey.
New satellites being launched
Canada’s Radarsat-2 satellite has been active since the mid-2000s and collects information using radar microwave wavelengths. A series of three new Canadian radar satellites will be launched in the summer or early fall.
With the number of satellites orbiting the Earth now, Davidson says there is ample data being generated - a different story from 20 or even 10 years ago. The more data, the better, he says.
“I’d never say we have too much data," Davidson says.
Data generated by satellites orbiting the Earth deliver a good picture of Canada's agriculture, providing more data for better analysis.

The stamp's motif gives away its theme. The discoveries of space pioneer Hermann Potocnik are closely linked to modern communications technology. Hermann Potocnik, born the son of an imperial navy doctor on December 22, 1892 in Pola, Istria, is considered the inventor of the geo-stationary synchronized orbital path, one of the fundamental basis of modern satellite and communications technology. The path of orbit, at an altitude of roughly 36,000 kilometers, guarantees optimal transfer of radio waves. For many years, however, international recognition for this pioneering discovery was denied Potocnik. Only during a congress from April 24-25, 1976 was the significance of his discovery to contemporary space exploration and space travel confirmed, albeit posthumously, before an audience of aerospace scientists, cosmologists, and political and economic personalities. Already in 1929 Potocnik wanted to establish a manned space station on this orbital route, however, at the time it was not known that it is unsuitable for manned flights since it is situated outside earth's magnetic field and influenced by solar winds. Potocnik, who published under the pseudonym Noordung died on August 27, 1929 at the age of 37.

The battle of the brands is on. Next arena? Outer space.
The space race started during the Cold War of the 1950s. Fashion designers like André Courrèges, Paco Rabanne and Pierre Cardin started imagining what humans would dress like onboard their luxury space vessels. This was long before the Russians sent Yuri Gagarin into orbit in 1961. The aesthetic became very distinct by the early ‘60s, at which point the terms ‘futurism’ and ‘space age’ were coined to describe the progressive and somewhat otherworldly designs that flowed from the collective consciousness.
A lot has happened since then. Perhaps space became a little dull somewhere in between, but today it’s very exciting again. Luxury space travel is just a stone’s throw away and our horizons now include travel to Mars. So what will we be wearing to space? And more importantly, what sneakers will look best with your space suit?
Reebok is lightyears ahead of the pack. Their Floatride Space Boot SB-01 is currently being tested by astronauts and is the first evolution in space footwear in over 50 years. Together with the David Clark Company, Reebok developed this innovative space boot in an effort to provide lightweight protection and support for space travel, while optimising comfort and performance. The boot will accompany the final space suit which will shuttle astronauts to and from the International Space Station in Boeing’s new vessel, the CST-100 Starliner. How cool is that?
Matt Montross from Reebok Innovation had this to say about the boot.
‘Traditional space boots were made of rigid leather with firm soles and were not integrated into the actual space suit. Reebok Floatride Foam introduced three revolutionary elements to the space boot; it decreased the overall weight significantly, it brought the added comfort in a space boot and support that you would expect in a running shoe and it delivered a new level of sleekness and style.’
And it all started with a running shoe. The Floatride Foam technology was first introduced back in April of this year, with the launch of one of Reebok’s most technologically advanced running shoes, Reebok Floatride Run. Floatride Run has received wide praise around the world for performance and comfort, including ‘2017 Best Debut’ honours by Runner’s World magazine. | aerospace |

Air Pressure officers have indicated that the HACM is likely to be used on each fighters and bombers, with one official saying a B-52 bomber doubtlessly may carry as many as 20, in line with a report by the Congressional Analysis Service.
At the very least eight hypersonic weapons are in improvement, the service stated.
Russia stated in February that it had test-fired a hypersonic missile, sending a message to the US and Nato allies simply earlier than its invasion of Ukraine. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has asserted that hypersonic weapons will make up the core of Russia’s non-nuclear deterrence functionality sooner or later. The US says Russia has deployed its Avangard Hypersonic Glide Car and its Tsirkon hypersonic anti-ship and land-attack missile.
China is investing closely in hypersonic weapons as properly, placing one in orbit final 12 months that flew 40,000 kilometres in additional than 100 minutes of flight, in line with the highest US nuclear commander.
Russia and China are in a position to press forward on new weapons with out the oversight by legislators and the general public that may gradual testing and deployment below the Pentagon’s acquisition system. | aerospace |

I love the night sky. Strangely, perhaps, I'm a night shift worker, and that means I'm working at least 50% of all nights, reducing my opportunity to "look up and out". Then on other nights the view is often obscurred with clouds. But when I can, I like to check out the night sky, both just eye-balling, but also using binoculars and cameras.
I'm slowly learning to identify the planets and stars and constellations. But I also love to watch the man-made objects passing by ... particularly the International Space Station.

Henny Lim, a flight attendant with Cebu Pacific airlines, disclosed the rationale behind the unconventional sitting posture in a TikTok post.
Contrary to appearances, flight attendants aren’t resting on their hands in an attempt to warm them up amidst the chilly air conditioning on the plane.
It’s entirely possible that during every plane journey, you’ve been too engrossed in finding a captivating series to watch, neglecting to notice how flight attendants are positioned. However, more observant passengers may recognize the posture demonstrated by Lim in her video.
In the video, the flight attendant posed the question: “Why do cabin crew sit on their hands while in their jump seats?”
Jump seats are the designated seats where crew members can sit while they are not moving about the cabin during takeoff and landing.
After demonstrating the posture with her hands tucked under her thighs, Lim explained that this position is known as the ‘bracing position’.
Crew have to have their bodies in very specific positions in the seats. Credit: TikTok/@_hennylim_
Unlike the head-down brace position many of us might be familiar with from the flight safety cards, Lim explained that this position involves ‘fastening seatbelt securely, sitting upright, sitting on hands with palms up, thumbs tucked, and arms loose’.
The position also emphasizes keeping feet ‘flat on the floor’, with the objective being to ‘maintain the body in a rigid pose’.
While it may not seem like the most comfortable position, especially during the potentially turbulent moments of takeoff and landing, Lim explained that it’s engineered to safeguard the body in the event of any unexpected emergencies or
Lim mentioned that by restricting body movement, there’s a reduced likelihood of injury in the event of an impact.
During their time in the position, crew members also dedicate time to conduct the ‘silent review’, as described by Lim.
The position helps to reduce damage to the body. Credit: TikTok/@_hennylim_
The review encompasses “being mindful of emergency equipment placement, door operation procedures, following commands, and observing any visual cues outside the aircraft,” the attendant elaborated.
Understanding all of these factors aids the crew in readiness for emergency situations.
Following Lim’s explanation of why crew members sit on their hands, TikTok users responded by expressing their appreciation for the insightful information and thanked Lim for sharing her insights.
However, some couldn’t overlook the rationale behind the position, with one individual commenting, “Constantly preparing for a potential crash is indeed daunting.”
Ideally, there will never be an emergency that necessitates assuming the position, but I suppose it’s always preferable to be prepared for any eventuality! | aerospace |

Other early titles include A-10 Attack and A-10 Cuba, F/A-18 Hornet, Night Hawk: F-117A Stealth Fighter, Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Red Baron, Out of the Sun, and Falcon 4.0. In 95 he discovered the wonders of multiplayer WWII simming in Mac Air Warrior Open Beta and was for evermore hooked on online flying! Since then he’s traveled the cyber skies of AirWarrior, Warbirds, LOMAC, the IL2 series, and most recently DCS A-10C and a return to Falcon 4.0 thanks to Benchmark Sims' efforts.
He is the current C.O. of the 51st Fighter Wing, and was previously the C.O of Air Group 51, IV/JG51 and the 339th Growlin’ Gators.
Member Javelin 6
Born while Nixon was being re-elected on Korat AFB Thailand his father was a "Thud" pilot (later Phantoms) assigned to the 13th TFS (388th TFW). Lulled to sleep nightly by thunder of afterburners, you could say that military aviation has always been a part of him.
He started in flight sims with titles like Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, Fleet Defender, Jane's F-15, Jane's F/A-18, Jane's WW II Fighters, Aces High Online.
The world of combat flight sims was put on hold for a decade while serving multiple tours in Afghanistan and Iraq with the USMC. And later returning to Iraq with the US Army several times.
With all that behind him now, he returns to the virtual skies with DCS A-10C.
I was born and raised in the Air Force. I fell in love with military aviation living between the thrilling worlds of Strategic Air Command and Tactical Air Command. My first true love was the slick and sexy F-106 Delta Dart, which often screamed over my childhood home, with afterburners blazing, headed for the DEW line on a Cold War scramble.
I “served” the Department of Defense as a security specialist and have a graduate education in history. I have taken many career paths, but I always seem to return to aviation. I just love the smell of jet fuel!
I am married and have four teenage children who often ridicule and poke fun at me for my hobby of on-line flight, especially when I have my Track IR going and I am screaming “Check your six, check your six.” They call me crazy on nights when there is a mission and I am unplugging phones and disabling computers mumbling the mantra "must preserve the ping, must preserve the ping my precious!" Those without the affliction cannot begin to understand.
I built my first flight simulator out of a card board box following my first screening of “Midway” as a child. I was of course hooked on sim flying the first time I took hold of a basic flight stick and flew Microsoft’s flight Simulator. Since then, I have flown every flight sim I could get my hands on and have upgraded computers to keep up. I am a confessed "kit" junky buying every hardware peripheral I can get my hands on.
I jumped at the opportunity to fly with AG-51, now the 51st Fighter Wing, and love every minute of time spent on-line with this loveable group of drunken degenerates - the 51st Fighter Wing is simply the finest group of pilots on the internet...
I'm 25, live near Los Angeles, California and am a huge aviation enthusiast. I'm learning to fly and loving it, although simming is a lot cheaper.
I've been playing sims since the mid 90s. Falcon 3.0, Falcon 4.0 and Jane's F/A-18, IL-2, FSX. I've been a member of many squads, but none like Air Group 51, what now has become the 51st Fighter Wing. I've made life long friends across the country and it's been a blast.
mikula is relatively new to flight sims, having dabbled with the IL-2 series back in 2005 while flying with AG-51. He now spends his increasingly scarce sim-time with DCS: A-10C Warthog, but also enjoys many other PC-gaming titles, including Team Fortress 2.
mikula works full-time for a local marketing agency as a web developer, and is pursuing a B.S. with a major in Computer Engineering at Portland State University.
Cheese has been simming for about 20 years, from Chuck Yeager's Air Combat to Falcon 4.0 and now DCS A-10C. He is an active duty Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Operator (think The Hurt Locker), and has trekked around the world as a result, touching every continent except Antarctica. He's still trying to finagle a trip down there to complete the tour! When not planted in front of his computer raining death on pixels, Cheese likes to run (5 marathons in the books), and defend the free world from evil doers (6 trips to the sandbox, and counting). He also enjoys sleep, food, beer, and the company of beautiful women. Cheese joined the 51st VFW in July of 2011. | aerospace |

Hear from men and women who are sons and daughters; husbands and wives; fathers and mothers; grandparents; siblings; and loyal friends. Hear members of the Marines, Army, Air Force, and Navy share personal stories and highlights from their military careers. All have roles that made them the "first" in many endeavors throughout their lives and in the military. We will hear about their rarely discussed acts of courage and sacrifice that embody servant leadership that will empower, inspire, and motivate listeners.
On Saturday, June 22, 2013, tune in to hear from Rick DelaHaya, a USAF's "scope dope" who was the first enlisted controller to ever conduct an intercept over Russian airspace while simultaneously coordinating with air surveillance aircraft and ground control units. Listen as DelaHaya share highlights from working with two Commanders-in-Chiefs, President Clinton and President Bush. Hear him give us behind the scene details of coordinating communications on 9/11 with President Bush and the White House Press Corps from Barksdale AFB.
Rick will discuss life after being in the Air Force for over twenty years and how adjusting can be difficult if one is not focused and have support from family and community. Rick will share about his career options as a veteran and will give advice that is applicable to civilians and career military in transition.

The Pacific Coast Air Museum is a rare find in beautiful Sonoma County California and makes a fun companion side trip during your wine country tour. Located just a few miles northwest of Santa Rosa, the air museum which is located at the Charles Schulz Sonoma County Airport is a fun stop for young or old and everyone in between. Sonoma county's wineries are located all around the airport so a side trip there works out well during a wine country vacation.
The Grumman S-2A Tracker
The Grumman S-2A Tracker was built for the military as a submarine hunter aircraft. The plane is powered with two Wright Twin Cyclone R-1820 nine cylinder radial engines. Each engine produces 1,500 horsepower. The cruise speed of this aircraft is 150 MPH with a top speed of 195 MPH. The Grumman S-2A has an empty weight of 18,750 pounds with a maximum takeoff weight of 27,000 pounds. Dimensions are a 70 ft wing span, 43 ft 6 in length, 16 ft 7 in height and a wing area of 496 sq ft.
|Grumman S-2A Fire Tanker|
Fire Fighting Capabilities
The Grumman S-2A aircraft shown in this story, after it's service in the Navy, was a longtime member of California's fire fighting aerial fleet. This particular firefighting aircraft, while serving the California Department of Forestry, referred to as the CDF, was based in Santa Rosa. When the Forestry Department converted it's fleet to turbines the Pacific Coast Air Museum was able to take it over. Now this aircraft is a permanent display on the museum grounds. An interesting fact is that the Sonoma County Airport has long been a Calfire Attack Base. There are many CDF Attack Bases located throughout California. The Sonoma CDF base was established in 1964 and according to their government web site responds to about 300 calls each year. The Attack Bases serve to provide quick initial attack on wildland fires. The Sonoma Attack Base currently has on hand one OV-10 Bronco and two of the newer S-2T tankers. The base covers a fire protection area of some 4,000 square miles and pumps about 300,000 gallons of fire retardant per year. The current S-2T's each carry 1,200 gallons of retardant. Sometimes an aircraft of this type is referred to as a water bomber but in actuality the plane carries retardant with names such as Fire-Trol and Phos-Chek. Some of today's aerial firefighting craft also may carry tanks with a gum derivative to thicken the water and reduce runoff. Modern firefighting aircraft typically take advantage of the newest retardant additives.
Airplane fire fighting of course includes more than the aerial tanker planes. The Smokejumpers, who probably have one of the more dangerous fire fighting jobs, are dispatched from smokejumper bases spread thoughout the western United States.
CalFire currently operates forty-eight aircraft spread throughout the state. being a statewide fire fighting agency, Cal Fire offers protection to about thirty-one million acres of state owned wildlands and also provides emergency services on a contractual basis in about 36 counties. The location of the Attack Bases make it possible in most circumstances for the aircraft to reach a target destination within twenty minutes. Air tactical planes fly overhead during a fire directing both the S-2T tankers and helicopters. According to the state, the annual budget for the Cal Fire program runs about $20 million per year.

I enjoyed mu trip to the Pacific Coast Air Museum and would recommend it to anyone passing through the Sonoma wine country. The Grumman S-2A on display at the museum is an excellent example of a wildland fire fighting aircraft.
Visit the Pacific Coast Air Museum
The Pacific Coast Air Museum is located at the Charles Schulz Sonoma County Airport. The airport is just a few miles northwest of Santa Rosa California and just a mile south of the town of Windsor. The airport is just about two miles west of US Hwy-101. If you're coming from the San Francisco area, take Hwy-101 north and exit at Airport Rd. just a few miles past Santa Rosa and turn left.
The Pacific Coast Air Museum also has on display the F-15A fighter jet that was the actual first responder over the New York area on September 11, 2001. This is a rare find for the museum and is a very interesting exhibit.
Lots of fascinating aircraft also on display at the Planes of Fame museums in the Los Angeles area and just north of Williams Arizona near the Grand Canyon. Also, you'll be interested in the marvelously restored and flyable Beech E-18S at the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum in Hood River Oregon.

One of the technologies considered for their advancement are cloud computing services which play a crucial role in efficient transmitting and storing data. Why exactly is cloud computing needed in the development of space industry?
Suppliers of cloud computing services offer the largest possible data storage room in the IT industry. It is especially crucial in space research in which huge files as the video footage and satellite imagery from space take up a lot of room in computer memory, making it really hard to store them without any special devices. Moreover, some suppliers, e.g. CloudFerro, offer access to data collections from many different satellites via their public cloud. Thanks to this, scientists are able to use lots of various sources in their research.
High computing power
Cloud computing infrastructure provide users with innovative methods which can help them efficiently process data in a matter of seconds. Its computing power is higher than any other technology’s. Moreover, cloud computing services offer constant accessibility, flexibility and increased productivity, comparing to traditional IT infrastructure. They allow researchers to conduct various operations on complex systems and huge amount of data at all times and places, even in space. Therefore, they are very helpful when it comes to development of the space industry.
Conducting space research requires a network which will connect all devices operating on Earth and in space, making it possible to deliver information that needs to travel very long distances. Cloud computing services suppliers offer specialized environments, software and processing optimization. These technologies allow researchers to operate on advanced infrastructure which gives great possibilities of data transfer between all users.
Cloud computing, being the future of the IT industry, is crucial for space exploration. Its opportunities make it indispensable in the development of space research. In the upcoming years, cloud services will probably offer even more advanced solutions, providing technologists with new ways of sharing and processing data from extraterrestrial space. Therefore, they are definitely worth scientists’ attention. | aerospace |

An unassuming hangar in the remote Queensland town of Longreach, 700 kilometres from the coast, is the home of Australian civil aviation. From here the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd, better known as QANTAS, took to the skies for the first time.

The birth of an iconic Australian airline
Two returned First World War airmen, Hudson Fysh and Paul McGinness, were inspired to create an air service while surveying the muddy outback of Queensland and the Northern Territory for the 1919 England to Australia Air Race. They were struck by the advantages of linking outback towns by air.
A chance meeting brought together the three men that would found the first air service in Australia. McGinness helped local grazier Fergus McMaster repair his broken down car at a crossing on the Cloncurry River, and discussed his idea for starting an aerial service. McMaster saw merit in the idea and months later Fysh, McGinness and McMaster established the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services in Brisbane on 16 November 1920. They were joined by Arthur Baird, whose engineering skills and technical innovations were devoted to making the airline a success.
The airline quickly grew from two small planes and a simple galvanised iron hangar to become Australia’s first international air carrier and an internationally recognised symbol of Australia.
The hanger at Longreach, built in 1922, became the centre of the fledging airline’s operations and is where the four men worked to secure its success. Each of the four brought their own skills and style to the task—McGinness had the drive, Fysh was the businessman, McMaster the strategist and Baird the technical expert.
By November 1922 QANTAS had made its first scheduled service, the 577 mile route from Charleville to Cloncurry, flown in two stages with an overnight stop in Longreach. Fysh flew from Longreach to Cloncurry with Baird on board as engineer, carrying their first official passenger, 87-year-old Alexander Kennedy. Kennedy had invested £250 in the airline on the condition that he was to be its first passenger on a scheduled flight.
The Royal Flying Doctor Service
The QANTAS Hanger has also played a crucial role in the Aerial Medical Service, now known as the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) which was founded by the Reverend John Flynn, 'Flynn of the Inland,' in 1928. QANTAS supplied the first aircraft and provided logistical support from its Longreach base for the service.
The jet age
By 1930 QANTAS reached its first million miles and moved its headquarters to Brisbane. It became a public company in 1947 and entered the jet age in July 1959 with its first Boeing 707.
The company's first Boeing 747 landed in Sydney on 16 August 1971, starting a new chapter in the company's history. During the evacuation of Darwin in the aftermath of Cyclone Tracy, QANTAS set a record for the number of passengers carried on a B747, with 674 passengers and 23 crew.
The first 707 jet passenger aircraft to be registered in Australia is on display at the QANTAS Founders Outback Museum at Longreach, thanks to the QANTAS Foundation Memorial and support from the Australian Government.
The QANTAS hangar provides a physical link to this iconic Australian company's early years. The aerodrome, in its harsh physical setting, will continue to demonstrate the environment in which the company's founders laboured to make the airline a success. | aerospace |

New paper on swift aerodynamics
A new paper based on wind tunnel research is just out. This time it is flapping flight of the swift Apus apus, which is investigated by means of high-speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The paper reveals many new details about the aerodynamics of this highly aerial bird. The main author is Per Henningsson, now a postdoc in the Oxford Animal Flight Group where he works on insect flight. Per did this work on swift flight together with Florian Muijres and Anders Hedenström as part of his PhD thesis that was entirely devoted to flight in the swift.

We are developing “drone pole” an autonomous infrastructure for drones to fly safely, accurately and a very long time.
In detail, keeping a safe height, the drone docks and locked to the drone pole, then it travels along the pole. After landing, it changes its battery to new one with our developed machine, and takes off autonomously.
Now, there are two main problems to utilize drones in our lives, “danger” and “shortness of flight time”.
Some products can solve only one of them. However, our breakthrough technology can solve both of them. By using this pole, drone can land and take off in the very accurate point and fly forever without wavering.

The pair will be blasted into space in a spaceship originally developed for the use of NASA astronauts, accompanied by a heavy-lift rocket that has apparently never been tested.
The trip will see the couple travel approximately 480,000 miles but they will not land on the Moon’s surface.
SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk speaking about the couple, told Sky News: “They're certainly not naive, and we'll do everything we can to mminimise that risk, but it's not zero. But they're coming into this with their eyes open."
Describing the plans as "incredibly exciting", he added “like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hopes and dreams of all humankind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration, this presents an opportunity for humans to return to deep space for the first time in 45 years and they will travel faster and further into the solar system than any before them".
The unnamed pair are currently undergoing a series of health tests and training before they are set to launch into space around the end of 2018. | aerospace |

Freedom Club – Flying Club brought to you by Latitude Aviation
What is the Freedom Club?
The Freedom Club is a new way to enjoy airplane rental and instruction at Latitude Aviation. Essentially, it functions just like any number of flying clubs around the nation that offer affordable, accessible flying – but this one is attached to the area’s best flight school.
A simple, low initiation fee ($250) and reasonable monthly membership dues ($100) grants you a big discount off of all the airplanes. $50 of your $100 in monthly dues is available as rental credit to be used that month.
Freedom Club pilots enjoy a $30/hr discount off of their flying time in Latitude aircraft. So, if the Cessna 150 rents for $110/hr, Freedom Club pilots enjoy remarkable rate of $80/hr to fly the same airplane. This discount also applies to our AATD. Additional discounts for other Latitude educational products and services continue to be added!
What's the catch?
It could be said that the only catch to a flying club is that if you don’t fly, you’re still paying dues. However, with the low cost of the Freedom club the “break-even” point is just over an hour of flying per month!
As a new Freedom Club member, you commit to a minimum 12 month membership. If you need to leave early, simply pay the remaining month’s membership dues and you’re done.
Why would I want to join?
If you fly around 1.7 hours per month (for most people that’s about 1 lesson or rental per month) you’ve broken even with your dues. If you fly more, you save more.
For example, a student pilot seeking a Private Pilot license may fly as much as 60 hours to get there. At a savings of $30/hr, you’ve saved $1800. Wow! That means more money left over for doing what you wanted to do all along – fly!
I heard there was a referral program. Tell me about it.
Yep! For every pilot you tell about the Freedom Club that signs up (limit 4), you’ll get a $50 credit on your Flight Circle account. Cool! Complete the contact form below to send us an email with your referral’s name and when they signed up.

Everyone was in awe and even slightly jealous as Tony Stark tested his Mark II suit. The incredible suit was complete with arm thrusters and a chrome finish! After countless attempts, Tony was able to start hovering on-air and get his hand positioning right. And after a few more trials, he was finally able to actually fly the thing! Many people were inspired by the technology– either with the mere aesthetic or the awesome flight aspects. But Tony Stark is only a fictional character, and the technology he used is impossible to recreate in the real world, right?
Wrong! Our technology can make it possible! And this video is just the perfect demonstration. The company Gravity Industries was flight testing a suit with thrusters that are handled by a single person. They’re essentially making the wearer a human plane! Founded by Richard Browning, Gravity Industries is an “aeronautical innovation” company that has been making “Jet Suits” since 2017. And these suits can basically fly like the Iron Man armor, though there are no arc reactors yet. It comprises five jet engines- two mounted on each arm, and one mounted on the back. The jet engines mounted on the arms lets you maneuver while on air, and the back jet helps maintain thrust and stability.
This 1000-horsepower beauty can easily lift an adult male just fine, even getting as fast as 85 miles per hour. It has, in fact, set the world record for the fastest body-controlled jet suit. Wow! Not to mention that the possibilities of this technology are endless. As if this isn’t interesting enough, Richard is already setting the wheels in motion for a racing series.
There, other pilots can innovate and further push the technology to greater lengths- even developing an electric version of the suit!
Watch the amazing video below that has surely put a lot of people’s dreams into reality!
Anybody else here who’s dying to get a ride of that beauty? I wonder how it feels to actually fly on command! | aerospace |

Its journey to the museum at the California Science Center has been described as “a logistical headache that delayed its arrival to its museum resting place by about 17 hours” . The key words are “resting place”. The journey was more like a funeral procession. The retirement of Endeavour is a step backwards in our exploration of space. Asking our astronauts to hitch a ride on a Russian space ship is embarrassing. Next thing you know they will be riding in the back seat of a Chinese space vehicle. Yes, we sent Curiosity to Mars but it’s not the same as an American space vehicle carrying American astronauts into outer space. Private corporations are supposed to pick up the slack. I’m sure that will happen only if the price is right ( will they outsource the work?). Until then we must rest on our laurels. We’ve been doing a lot of that lately. Rest in peace Endeavour. | aerospace |

Musk has had success in his many business ventures, including Tesla Motors, SolarCity and now SpaceX, to name the more popular ones.
SpaceX, founded 14 years ago in California, is a company devoted to being number-one in the privatized space industry.
It became the first organization to put a privately-funded rocket into orbit in 2008.
Since then, the company has developed new space technologies and received contracts from government organizations like NASA to deliver research equipment beyond the atmosphere.
SpaceX’s ultimate plan is to make space travel affordable.
To do this, Musk is taking on the engineering feat of creating reusable spacecraft. This would be a first for any space-faring organization, including NASA, which has never been able to reuse rockets or spaceships after they have returned to Earth.
“The cost of fuel now is about 0.3 percent, with most of the cost being from the building of a rocket. If they were re-usable, space travel would be affordable,” Musk said.
The entrepreneurial opportunities associated with being the first organization to create reusable spacecraft are overwhelming, but Musk seems to be more motivated by dreams than money.
This is perhaps why, and how, he hopes to create and use technology that will bring humans to Mars.
The time frame for getting to Mars is an intentionally vague 40 to 100 years. This is because of difficulties that lie between Musk and Mars.
Challenges with a manned mission to Mars are numerous. They include finances, launching and landing a spacecraft safely, surviving a lengthy flight and surviving a barren terrain by creating a sustainable artificial habitat after arrival.
The opinions on campus seem to reflect concern for the realities of the project.
Kendra Kudla, sophomore interior architecture major, wondered about the practicality of the concept.
“Can he actually do it?” Kudla said.
Nick Figueroa, a sophomore studying neuroscience, believes a manned mission to Mars is at least plausible.
“There’s a lot of stuff that has happened in the last 40 years,” Figueroa said.
Justin Seis, senior sociology and philosophy major, had concerns that went beyond questioning the probability of success.
Seis said, “I think that it’s a nice idea, but at the same time there’s a lot of problems here that we should be prioritizing.”
Musk seems to recognize the questionability of his dream.
He said one day he plans to name SpaceX’s first ship to reach Mars “The Hearth of Gold” in honor of the book Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, in which a ship is run on “infinite improbability.”
Musk does not seem to worry about the far-out notions of his dreams. In fact, he seems motivated by them. | aerospace |

Observing Canada’s territory from space, including the Arctic, is a powerful and cost effective tool to monitor our land, water and borders. From space, satellites can provide information on:
- Natural resources
- Environmental monitoring
- Shipping and navigation
- Safety, sovereignty and security
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been managing satellite station facilities in collaboration with the private sector since 1972. NRCan’s satellite station facilities are strategically located across Canada to ensure coverage of Canada’s landmass and waters. These facilities include:
- Prince Albert Satellite Station (established 1972)
- Gatineau Satellite Station (established 1986)
- Inuvik Satellite Station Facility (established 2010)
Together these three stations provide satellite imagery coverage of all areas of Canada. Coverage also extends into the continental United States and over all three oceans (Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic).
The Earth Observation Data Management System (EODMS) completes NRCan’s satellite ground segment. EODMS is a geospatial platform open to the public, which lets users discover and download authoritative Canadian satellite imagery received at the stations as well as aerial photos.

The ability, known as a soft landing, could allow the company to dramatically reduce the cost of spaceflight and one day land rockets on Mars. Because it came down at a spot in the Atlantic Ocean, SpaceX’s rocket had nothing solid to land on. It crashed into the ocean and was lost to large waves from a storm before the company could get a boat out to recover it. But in the next few months, SpaceX hopes to reproduce the achievement.Spaceship doesn't actually go into space, then crashes and is lost in the sea. Is Mars next? Possibly not.
You can call flying to the "edge of space" -- you know, like planes have done for generations -- "spaceflight" if you like. You can call crashing into the sea -- you know, like rockets and shuttles have done for generations -- a "soft landing" if you like. You can call a craft lost at sea -- you know, like crafts have done through the whole of recorded human history -- "success" if you like.
I lost my housekeys in the ocean once. It didn't seem like success, particularly. But, then, I didn't have the can-do innovatorial entrepreneurial zeal in the moment to ask the real question demanded by that moment, staring into the foam beneath the setting sun, searching for the keys to my home...

However there is one that has always driven me despite anything, and that is space. I LOVE space. I want to spend my life travelling the stars in my own ship, with a small crew, doing whatever. Mining, cargo runs, transport, surveillance. I don't much care what it is I do, as long as I'm in space. I'm so obsessed with this singular thought, that I am in the process of designing my own small ship that I have every intention of building. Complete with the technology necessary to make my personal dream a reality. This includes technologies that don't yet exist, or at least not publicly. I've been designing this for over a year now, and before that spent years learning about everything I need to know to do it right. I also feel now is the best time to get into it. It's the dawn of a new space age for humanity. Russia planning to colonize the moon (FINALLY), SpaceX taking space travel to the private sector, NASA having it's successful Mars mission, and more. There is no reason civillians can't join in as well. Possibly even improve where these other groups have failed. Anyone else share my dream? | aerospace |

Over the past decade, software has proverbially “eaten the world” and SaaS companies have scaled to become unicorn corporations in staggering amounts of time.
In this article, we are examining 2 VC funded SaaS startups in the Aerospace industry.
Organizations may fly their satellites with the aid of Cognitive Space, which uses artificial intelligence to revolutionize satellite operations for mission management, collection planning, and communications link coordination. The economy in New Space is drawing enormous investment and expanding tremendously. Thousands of new commercial spacecraft will occupy space. But for New Space enterprises, developing the necessary "ground architecture" is a huge barrier that often entails a considerable financial investment, a multi-year time commitment, and a high level of execution risk as they grow their business. The plumbing and processes necessary to monetise their constellations are typically unknown to satellite businesses, and they frequently have no clue how to develop the ground infrastructure that will support their commercial goal. Derisking and accelerating their buildout timetable, as well as an operational capability, are provided by Cognitive Space, which is subsequently used to improve their continuing operations. New Equipment for a New Space Advanced SaaS services are offered by Cognitive Space to satellite operators and providers of space infrastructure for maximizing revenue and performance yield, predicting future capacity, and managing collection management as satellite constellations expand and scale. Our efforts will significantly enhance how we keep track of the Earth for comprehending its economy, environment, and national security. Visit www.CognitiveSpace.com to learn more.

How many of us have felt ready for occurrences we can control but experience anxiety about the travel itself? Flying is almost always involved and whether in domestic or international airspace, travelers have at least subliminal thoughts of air safety.
US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) statistics for US commercial carriers are highly reassuring. Scheduled flights for US air carriers in 2010 logged over 17 million flight hours covering 7.3 billion miles and recorded 26 accidents with no fatalities. This represents over 9 million departures with an accident rate of 0.152 per 100,000 flight hours. Three of the last four years there have been no fatalities with over 700 million enplanements per year.
Commercial carriers operating large capacity passenger aircraft in other major industrialized countries must follow the strictest safety regulations and their accident rate is also very low. According to AirSafe.com, the most important indicator of overall safety of an airline is how it is regulated by its nation’s civil aviation authority. In fact, the fatal accident rate for commercial flight has not changed appreciably in the past 15 years. However, the number of flights performed in the world have more than doubled. Airlines from the US, Canada, European Union, Australia, and Japan accounted for about three quarters of all airline traffic, but only 21 percent of the fatal events (9 of 43) occurred in or involved an airline based in those countries.
US Civil aviation statistics demonstrate that in 2010 there were 1474 accidents in private planes in which 274 had fatalities, totaling 469 people. Smaller aircraft are not certified to the same standards as larger ones and different factors contribute to crashes.
The most important factor contributing to a crash is improper actions or inactions by the pilot according to both Dr. Rich Williams FN 03, Chief Medical Officer for NASA and experimental pilot, and Harry Brooks, FN 93, former Marine fighter pilot and attorney who investigates air crashes for insurance companies. “Pilot-related errors account for 60 percent of commercial and 70 percent of non-commercial accidents,” says Williams. Brooks adds, “Common sense judgment is often what fails”.
Mechanical failures have gone way down due to modern, more reliable equipment according to Don Matthews MN 01, Chief Pilot for US Airways and a designer of airports. However, mechanical contributions must still be considered, such as in the Airbus whose computers will not let the pilot override the plane, states Brooks. Max Gallimore FN 82, former Chief Pilot for Delta, points out that almost every crash arises from a series of small missteps or factors that add up to catastrophe.
Helicopters have an accident rate approximately 30 percent higher than the US general aviation accident rate. According to NTSB records, there were 197 helicopter accidents during 2005 in over 2.2 million flight hours. After pilot error, physical structures pose the greatest threat due to flight close to earth or visual flight plans, according to Jay Christy, former US Ranger helicopter pilot. “Wires are notoriously guilty. There is little time to react or fix mechanical problems”, says Christy.
SO HOW DOES ONE SURVIVE A PLANE CRASH?
Given that 86 percent of commercial airline passengers and 34 percent of commuter passengers survived crashes over the last quarter century, what advice do the experts offer:
Best position for survival?
All: The “brace” position varies but head pulled down to knees and arms pulled in tight with hands over head; feet braced against a solid structure in front. Backward facing seating is preferred but not often available. Face in the direction of crash to better absorb impact.
Best area in a plane likely to confer an advantage for survival?
HB, RW: The best area to sit in is the rear cabin. If the plane hits at a nose down angle, all the seats are moving forward. When you see pictures of a crashed airplane, you usually see a picture of the tail.
MG, DM: The exit row.
JC: Not applicable to helicopters
Any tips to aid survival and identify exit rows in a crash?
HB, MG, DM, RW: Wear cotton clothes, long pants, shoes, and socks. Read the emergency instructions. Count the number of seats from your seat to at least two exit rows. Know how to open the emergency exit. Stay low to avoid smoke. If the cabin is filled with smoke, you have a very short time to climb over those seats and out the exit. The aisles will be filled with people screaming and trying to retrieve overhead baggage.
JC: Remember to stay low exiting a helicopter as rotary propellers may still be turning.
What should one do after surviving a plane crash on land? In water?
HB, JC, MG, DM, RW: Stay calm, listen to crew instructions, leave the plane rapidly. The military teaches to rendezvous 100m from the plane nose. Someone take charge, attend to injured, activate signaling devices. In water, don your life vest but DO NOT inflate until out of the plane.
Attitude is also important. If you think you are going to die, you may be sealing your own doom. Never give up. The survival instinct is alive and well if you don’t shut it down.

Then your in luck, as our Aerial UAV Photography service can reach into the sky by an additional 96 metres, totalling approx. 122 metres (400 ft). You will be amazed by how much more you can see and the different perspective from 6 metres never mind 26m or 122m!
HiCam Photography and Filming holds CAA Permission to fly and are qualified experienced uav drone pilots which is a legal requirement to operate UAV’s in UK airspace. Plus ultimately ensuring that we operate legally, have the skills and safety is our priority. We take our safety to the highest standards and this is why we are ARPAS-UK members to ensure all our safety processes and procedures are correct with current regulations.
Aerial Photography has been around ever since planes and helicopters began to fly but the technology has grown and grown in recent years, allowing it to be more available and at a more competitive price.. UAVs are also referred to as drones, uas’s and rpa’s. UAV Aerial Photography enables us to achieve photographs from positions that would usually be impossible to achieve. Not even a helicopter can get into the positions that can be achieved with a UAV.
HiCam’s UAV’s are specially designed to photograph aerial stills and film HD video, 4K if needed also availble. HiCam’s UAV’s are maintained on a regular basis to ensure the upmost safety and reliability. We use DJI multi-rotor platforms with 3 axis gimbals below making them very stable, versatile and capable of flying in strong wind conditions.
Aerial UAV Photography is regularly referred to as RPA, UAS, Drone and others but they all mean near enough the something.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. SpaceX launched four ordinary citizens into orbit Wednesday night without any professional astronauts along for the ride, an unprecedented feat in the history of spaceflight.
The five-hour launch window for Inspiration4 opened at 8:02 p.m. ET for launch from Launch Complex 39-A at the Kennedy Space Center.
Sitting atop the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket are four private citizens in a specially modified Crew Dragon capsule awaiting to start three days of orbiting the Earth, the first time an all-civilian crew will have orbited the planet.

Rather than just climbing to the edge of space
Rather than just climbing to the edge of space and returning to land in less than an hour as Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin recently did, Inspiration4 will circle the Earth and do so in a higher orbit than the International Space Station.
Paying for it all is Jared Isaacman,
a 38-year-old billionaire high-school dropout, who is
promoting the flight as a massive fundraising
effort for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
.Isaacman, a pilot who is qualified to fly commercial and military
Isaacman, a pilot who is qualified to fly commercial and military jets, reached a deal with SpaceX in late 2020 for the mission. Neither is saying how much he is paying SpaceX for the launch, though Isaacman has said it was far less than $200 million he hopes to raise for St. Jude.
This dream began 10 months ago,” Isaacman said at a news conference Tuesday, noting how quickly the mission came together. “We set out from the start to deliver a very inspiring message, certainly the opportunities up in space and what can be done there. But also what we can accomplish here on Earth
..SpaceX launches its first
private crewed mission to space..
SpaceX launched four private citizens to space on Wednesday, kicking off the first-ever crewed mission to orbit without any professional astronauts on board. Dubbed Inspiration4, the mission marks the latest private foray into space as companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX compete to normalize space travel for paying tourists, not just government astronauts. SpaceX launches
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket lifted off on time at 8:02PM ET from the company’s 39A launchpad at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, soaring from Florida’s east coast under clear night skies. Inside the capsule is billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, a trained pilot and founder of payment-processing firm Shift4 Payments, and three others he picked and paid for to ride with him: Hayley Arceneaux, a 29-year-old physician assistant and cancer survivor; Christopher Sembroski, a data engineer at Lockheed Martin; and Sian Proctor, a geoscientist and former NASA astronaut candidat SpaceX launches
The crew was buckled inside SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Resilience
The crew was buckled inside SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Resilience capsule at the top of the rocket, reusing the spacecraft that sent four government astronauts to the International Space Station nearly a year ago. But for Inspiration4, the capsule won’t dock to the space station. It’s poised to spend roughly three days orbiting Earth at a higher altitude, some 360 miles above ground — the farthest human spaceflight since the last NASA space shuttle mission to repair the Hubble telescope in 2009.
Roughly nine minutes after liftoff, Falcon 9’s first stage booster returned to Earth for a landing on a barge in the Atlantic Ocean. Minutes later, the Crew Dragon capsule separated from the rocket’s second stage as it was leaving Earth’s atmosphere, sending the Inspiration4 crew further toward orbit. The capsule will spend the next hour and a half gradually raising its orbit via intermittent thruster firings.
“The Dragon capsule and crew are in a nominal orbit,” SpaceX engineer and livestream anchor Andy Tran said. A live camera from inside the capsule showed the crew waving and giving double thumbs up.

The mission serves as a multimillion dollar fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, a non-profit research center that also provides free care for kids with cancer. Isaacman donated $100 million to the hospital and, with the Inspiration4 mission, aims to raise another $100 million. That part of the fundraiser has raised about $30.8 million so far.
Isaacman, bankrolling most of the mission,
won’t say how much he paid for each Crew Dragon seat, but they typically cost roughly $55 million a pop, according to a government watchdog report.

Just ask the young flight attendant standing in the open doorway of a Boeing 777 mockup who is about to take a two-storey plunge into a giant wave pool.
The young woman — in full uniform and wearing a bright yellow life vest — doesn’t hesitate. She throws herself into the pool, then swims to a giant life raft, where she lifts her body into the oversized rubber dingy.
I applaud her herculean effort and she flashes me an exhausted smile.
She has completed one of the most gruelling tests required of recruits who hope to become one of the famed Singapore Girls — the most recognized and decorated flight crew in the industry thanks to their unique kebaya uniforms and commitment to service.
Above: Before becoming a famed Singapore Girl, prospects go through rigorous training, even hair grooming.
The path to a coveted career with Singapore Airlines starts at the company’s multi-million dollar high-tech training centre located near this island nation’s fabulous Changi International Airport, the carrier’s home base.
Singapore Airlines’ flight attendants — there are over 8,000 of them and the airline still refers to them as stewardesses — are put through a rigorous 14-week training course where they are taught every aspect of the job by qualified instructors, most of whom have spent decades in the sky with the airline.
The reward for those who graduate is to be outfitted in the kebaya, a sarong-style garment worn by women in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia and parts of the Philippines. The kebaya , which is used widely in the company’s marketing campaigns, has served as the airline’s uniform for female flight attendants since 1972. Males wear well-tailored suits.
During their training, recruits are taught the three “S’s” of the job — service, security and safety. The company also puts a high priority on grooming, so both male and female recruits are taught how to style their hair and how to properly put on makeup — it takes the female flight attendants about 1.5 hours to get ready for a flight and they have to be in full uniform two hours before boarding.
The grooming instructor tells me male flight crew are limited to “gentleman’s haircut” — no dreadlocks or rock star long hair allowed here — while the females usually wear their hair tied in a bun.
Because water in the different locations the airline flies to can have an adverse affect on hair, the makeup artist even shows the recruits tricks so they can achieve the uniformed look set down by the airline.
Above: Safety is a high priority at Singapore airlines and mockups help flight crew learn evacuation techniques.
The newest female flight attendants are outfitted in blue custom-made kebayas. Longer serving flight crew get green, red and purple uniforms — the latter is reserved for senior flight managers. Interestingly, the colour of the uniforms matches the colour of Singapore’s money — i.e. $5 note is green, $10 red and $50 purple.
Graduates sign a five-year contract with the airline, which operates a fleet of long-range aircraft — the youngest in the industry, by the way. The contracts are reviewed every five years and maintaining the high standards set down by the airline regarding personal appearance is one of the main requirements for rehiring.
Recruits are also shown how to properly serve meals to passengers — all classes in the aircraft are treated equally — and some take courses in the training centre’s wine room, run by a certified sommelier, so they can help passengers select the vintage that pairs best with their gourmet meal.
On two recent flights with Singapore Airlines, I was struck by how engaging the flight attendants are and how quickly they respond to passenger requests.
What really tests the recruits’ determination to become a Singapore Airlines flight attendant, though, is the safety requirements. Besides the water test, crew members have to jump down rubber chutes used in the Airbus 380 and Boeing 777 — the main aircraft employed by the carrier — and are taught how to take command in a crisis situation.
Once the recruits pass all the tests, they can start flying with an airline that is regularly recognized as the best in Asia — and frequently the world — by industry watchdogs.
The training centre is also outfitted with state-of-the-art flight simulators where new pilots are trained and senior pilots take refresher courses. Singapore Airlines also trains pilots for other airlines. Singapore Airlines invests millions each year training their staff and the end result is that passengers are treated to one of the most pleasant experiences in the sky. On my recent 10-hour flight from Singapore to Tokyo, for example, the service experience was so good I wished we could fly around for another few hours. • | aerospace |

A key component of upcoming missions will be to return astronauts to the moon, and the agency said there was a problem with the portable launch tower.
NASA will try again on Monday.
The 322-foot rocket and Orion capsule are core components of Artemis, NASA’s lunar landing program. The system, which can launch astronauts into lunar orbit but will rely on other components to land them on the moon, is billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule.
The weekend exercise, which NASA calls Rehearsal, is the last major test before the rocket launches into its first uncrewed test flight, which could happen as soon as this summer. By simulating a countdown without triggering the ignition of the engines and the ascent of a rocket into space, NASA hoped to solve glitches in equipment and procedures.
The rehearsal, which began Friday night, was “wet” because it involved pumping more than 700,000 gallons of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen into the massive rocket’s fuel tanks.
On Saturday afternoon, severe thunderstorms passed over the launch site Four lightning strikes Protective turrets around the missile and launcher. Preparatory work on the launch pad had to be paused during the storm, but after reviewing the data, NASA said there was no damage and the countdown could continue.
On Sunday, the rehearsal was more than three hours late. Then the stop occurred before the start of the fuel flow. NASA said the problem was found in the mobile launch pad, or moving turret with many of the systems used to manage the rocket on the ground before it takes off. Fans that generate positive air pressure in areas closed to the portable player do not operate. Positive pressure is necessary to prevent the buildup of dangerous gases, including those that can ignite.
The fan has been running since the mobile launch platform was moved to the launch site last month and has continued to operate through Saturday’s thunderstorm, launch manager Charlie Blackwell Thompson said during a news conference Sunday night.
To load propellant, the fan is switched to a different mode to blow more air. The fan ran in this mode for several hours before the problem occurred.
“We don’t think this is related to lightning,” Ms Blackwell Thompson said.
Then a backup fan also failed, apparently for a different reason, causing the countdown to stop.
“We decided we really wanted to understand that, given that it was the first time the car had been loaded,” said Ms Blackwell Thompson. “And we make a decision to stay.”
The propellant loading is scheduled to begin Monday at 7 a.m. ET with the exercise concluding in the afternoon. If the rehearsal encounters more obstacles, another attempt on Tuesday might be possible.
The first test flight of the space launch system, Artemis 1, could happen this summer as the Orion capsule travels around the moon and returns to Earth without astronauts on board. Artemis’ second flight, scheduled for 2024, will have astronauts on board on the same flight. Artemis 3 will be the first moon landing by astronauts since 1972. NASA has suggested a date for 2025 for that manned flight, but it may face further delays. | aerospace |

May 10, 2010
According to reports leaked to the press, the Obama administration has authorized the CIA to expand unmanned drone attacks in Pakistan.
According to the reports, pilots of the unmanned drones are authorized to launch the missiles without attempting to ascertain the identity of the targets.
Despite previous claims by the administration that only "high-level terrorists" have been targeted, the vast majority of people killed by the U.S. drones in Pakistan have been civilians. According to Pakistani officials, 703 of the 708 people killed in the 44 U.S. drone attacks carried out in 2009 were civilians.
The CIA has already launched 34 drone missile strikes this year.
These attacks are a brazen violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and this wanton murder of Pakistani citizens again shows that it is the U.S. imperialists who are the real terrorists. | aerospace |

Learn more about Kirobo, the robot astronaut powered by VoiceText
Meet Kirobo, the first companion robot to be sent to space. This small robot achieved a feat that most of us have only dreamed about, to orbit high above the Earth. Kirobo did so for 18 months aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Kirobo features Natural Language Processing capabilities, enabling it to carry conversations with humans. In addition to its speech recognition and text-to-speech features, it is also equipped with a camera that has facial recognition abilities and can record video. Kirobo was also specifically designed to be able to navigate in a zero-gravity environment.
Kirobo was made to be a companion robot in space.
So why was Kirobo made?
Kirobo was built by a collaborative effort between the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, the University of Tokyo, Toyota, Dentsu, Robot Garage, and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The reason for building Kirobo was to test interactions between humans and robots in space.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed how far robotics has come in the past few years and how much they’re used to help people. Robots are being used to help humans complete complex and/or mundane tasks.
Think of a manufacturing plant that builds and puts cars together. Manufacturers use robotic machinery to automate the building process.
Now, space agencies including NASA and JAXA want to use robots for similar purposes in space. Robots would be able to perform mundane or dangerous tasks (such as risky space walks) that astronauts would normally be required to perform.
While Kirobo wasn’t quite built for that purpose, it still served a very important purpose in testing out how well humans could interact with robots in space. By showing that robots could understand voice commands from humans, and then also relay important information back using text-to-speech, researchers could prove that robots could easily work with astronauts in space.
How was Kirobo built?
The University of Tokyo and Robot Garage built the actual robot. The collaborative team built the hardware and worked on its motion generation so Kirobo could navigate itself in space.
Dentsu, an international advertising and public relations firm based in Tokyo, created the conversation content for the robot.
The two most important functions of Kirobo, speech recognition and text-to-speech, were the responsibility of Toyota and HOYA (holding company of NeoSpeech).
Toyota provided their speech recognition software for the robot. Toyota had been focusing on building powerful voice recognition systems to enable their cars to be smarter and understand voice commands from the driver.
HOYA and NeoSpeech’s superb text-to-speech engine, VoiceText, provided Kirobo’s voice. VoiceText is known to create beautiful, naturally sounding text-to-speech voices without sacrificing performance or quality. Kirobo is voiced by one of our Japanese TTS voices.
How did the test go?
Kirobo was sent into space on August 4, 2013 on an unmanned spacecraft from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan. On August 9, it arrived on the ISS. Then, on August 21st, Kirobo became the first robot to speak in space. You can see the historic moment here:
In November, Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata boarded the ISS (Wakata would go on to become to first Japanese commander of the ISS). On December 7, Kirobo and Wakata had a conversation which set the world record for the highest altitude a robot has ever had a conversation (414.2 km, or 257.4 miles above sea level).
The experiments were a success. Kirobo was able to understand Wakata’s commands and reply back aptly. Here is a video of one of Wakata’s final conversations with Kirobo before he left the ISS:
Kirobo stayed on board for a total of 18 months. A few months after Wakata’s departure, Kirobo even relayed a message essentially saying it was lonely in space. Kirobo finally returned to Earth in February of 2015.
The experiment showed that it is possible for humans and robots to communicate effectively in space. Being able to communicate with robots by voice will be crucial for astronauts. This will allow them to command robots without taking their hands or eyes away from what they’re focusing on.
As for Kirobo, Toyota has developed a Kirobo Mini that’s available to purchase for around $400. Although you and your Kirobo Mini might not be in space, Toyota promises you can still have a meaningful conversation with it.
What do you think?
What do you think the future holds for robotics in space? Will you be purchasing a Kirobo Mini? Let us know in the comments!

It never gets boring." This was pretty clear the day we had our Pleasant Encounter on the Hilltop.
After performing a fantastic filagree of spins and loops and rolls, he brought his plane down to eye level, directed it into the wind, turned the nose up to vertical, and let the breeze gently guide it into his waiting hand. "Nice landing," I said.
Brian is an optometrist with his own practice in downtown Long Beach, a business he started five years ago, upon completing his studies. In addition to his profession, his "passions" in life are aviation (full-scale and radio control), racing cars at a track, and Transcendental Meditation.
The light-weight, styrofoam plane Brian holds in the above picture, he built, and is his "fly anywhere, practice plane," one he can take to small parks, the beach, and Signal Hill. But what he enjoys most is performing giant-scale aerobatics, flying planes that are typically 25-50% scale replicas of their full-size counterparts, and require a runway.
One of these is Brian's Sbach 342, shown here. It is 36% of the size of the real thing, having a wingspan of nine feet, a fuselage the length of a minivan, and weighing in at a very light 27 pounds. It is made primarily of balsa wood and is powered by a 111 cc twin cylinder gas engine, making about 12 horsepower. (Brian participates in a forum dedicated to these Flying Giants.)
To perform aerobatics with these behemoths of the radio control world--as well as with the smaller planes--takes a lot of hand-eye-brain coordination. He described these complexities, saying the controls required are each time reversed, depending if the plane is approaching or going away; whether it is ascending or descending. "You need fast reaction, and most importantly, good visual-spatial skills for higher-level aerobatics," he said.
Here's a link to a short onboard video of Brian performing aerobatics with one of his smaller balsa planes. Be sure to turn up the volume.
Our Pleasant Encounter on Signal Hill introduced me to the aviation sub-culture, which seems more inclusive than I had imagined. Brian told me of meeting many of his fellow enthusiasts who are pilots of both full-scale, as well as remote control aircraft. Some have invited him to fly with them on the "real thing."
I'm looking forward to seeing more flying filagrees above the Hill. | aerospace |

traveling to the North and South Poles, but there is one dream he has
yet to make a reality and is something that might just happen sooner
than he thinks — going into space.
Laronde has purchased a ticket
on the world's first commercial space flights, landing him ticket
number 93 aboard Virgin Galactic's VSS Enterprise, an six-passenger
aircraft designed to touch the outer limits of the Earth's atmosphere.
If everything goes well in respect to testing of the aircraft, Laronde
could possibly be weightless over the world within the year.
the 58-year-old seasonal resident of Meredith, traveling and adventure
have been running through his blood after being charged with losing
weight. Several years ago Laronde learned he was diabetic, which
required him to lose almost 100 pounds. With that goal in mind, he
decided to get fit while doing something he dreamed of doing, traveling
around the Arctic.
Since his initial trip to the North Pole in
2006, Laronde has traveled the world, going Antarctica three times,
traveling in 2007 once by cross-country skis, once to climb Antarctica's
tallest mountain, Mount Vinson and in 2009 by sailboat, departing from
Chile and going along the coast to view the coastal animals. He has also
hiked the Andes Mountains in Peru, viewing the historic Machu Picchu
ruins in 2009.
Having completed an expedition to the North Pole
and then to the South Pole, Laronde doesn't see the sky as being any
sort of limit for him.
"By far, going to the South Pole has been
my biggest adventure," Laronde said. "But in terms of satisfaction, this
trip in to space will be the best trip."
The idea of going into
space popped up on the radar for Laronde after hearing about Virgin
Galactic proposing a passenger spaceship that would take anyone who had
the money into space for a hefty price of $200,000.
Going into space was something he has dreamed about his entire life.

said. "That was just a natural thing. I think all the boys wanted to be
He said he wanted to be an astronaut because he saw
them do amazing things, such as getting launched into space and landing
on the moon.
"Back then we all thought everyone was going into
space and that we were going to have colonies on the moon," Laronde
said. "Going into space has been my ultimate childhood dream."
hearing that Chairman of the Virgin Group Richard Branson was creating a
commercial spaceflight program, Laronde started thinking about taking
the trip. About a week after returning from his most recent trip to the
South Pole, he sent the money for the spaceflight.
About a year
ago, Laronde participated in pre-flight training, which required him to
complete a 6G test through centrifuge training, which replicates
gravitational forces passengers will experience during the flight.
rocket I'll be on goes up to 4G and when it re-enters the atmosphere it
goes to 6G," Laronde said. "I passed the test no problem."
Before doing the test, Laronde needed a note from his doctor to participate in the training, which led to a funny story.

him," Laronde said. "The doctor then said 'Are you crazy?' and I
basically answered, yes."
While in flight, all the passengers
aboard will experience 0G, or the state of being weightless, and will be
able to float around if they choose. Cameras are planned to be placed
throughout the cabin so those paying for the flight can get the most out
of their experience.
Laronde explained how the aircraft that
Virgin Galactic has developed is 60 feet in length and has a 27-foot
wingspan. It has room for two pilots and six passengers, with each seat
having two observation windows so there isn't a bad seat on board.
aircraft will be launched from a special plane that will travel to
50,000 feet, at which point the aircraft will be released and launch
into space. The duration of the trip will be around three hours, with
the total amount of time being in space consisting of only six minutes.
"It's pretty impressive," Laronde said. "It's the first aircraft taking passengers into space."
said after the last stages of testing are done on the aircraft, it will
be fairly soon that he takes flight. Since there are six passengers per
flight, he is expecting to be on flight No. 15 or 16.
"I found out that Paris Hilton just signed up after me," he said. "Maybe she'll be on my flight."
Galactic still has to determine whether or not passengers will need to
wear spacesuits during the flight, but either way, Laronde will have the
experience of a lifetime.
