In a public/private partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley launched from Kennedy Space Center’s historic Launch Pad 39A at 3:22 p.m. EDT yesterday. NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station is a critical final flight test of the SpaceX crew transportation system. Read about the launch here.

- Powerful twin KV440 motors with twin Predator 60A ESC (with 10A UBEC)
- The latest locked-rotor mode E-retract with overcurrent protection
- Large bearings in wheel hub for better performance
- Multi-connector for one-step installation
- Metal-gear digital servos for excellent controlling capacity
- A 62mm diameter front wheel and 84mm diameter rear wheels for taking off and landing on both paved and grass surfaces.
- Button Type canopy hatch
- Four set decals for DIY (blue color scheme only), to be different.
- High-brightness LED set
- Large battery compartment
- Panel lines and all-around rivets
- Pilot figure
- Scaled CNC-processed metal landing gear set
- Screw-together construction
- The most accurately scaled landing gear set we have ever created
The FMS 1700mm Tiger Cat pools the best structural features from FMS’ classic works. It adopts the popular quick and easy assembly and disassembly structure. Screws do all assembly and disassembly work. In addition, with the latest multi-connect technology, FMS has streamlined the wing system, eliminating the wiring problems, and making it easier to install and dismantle in a short time. The well-designed battery compartment makes full use of airframe space, allowing for higher-storage batteries and more flying choices.
FMS’ warbirds are always attractive, no matter from the perspective of scaled appearance, or from excellent performance. This also applies to the Tiger Cat.
The Tiger Cat features the latest locked-rotor mode E-retract system with overcurrent protection. It also features The refined scaled CNC-processed metal landing gear set (certainly the most notable feature is that this is the most accurately scaled landing gear set FMS have ever created) for resisting those not-too-perfect landings, a 62mm diameter front wheel, and 84mm diameter rear wheels for taking off and landing on both paved and grass surfaces. The power system utilizes twin 4250-KV440 outrunner motors, twin 60A ESC (with 10A UBEC), providing surging power for scaled aerial combat maneuvers when coupled with a 6S 5000mAh 45C battery.
The Tiger Cat has a scaled appearance, with scaled plastic parts throughout the body, e.g. landing gear door, cowl, artificial engine, and machine guns. Couple that with the detailed all-around rivets, panel lines, pilot figure, high bright LED lamps, a CNC-processed shock-absorbed metal landing gear set, the Tiger Cat is reproduced flawlessly. Not only that, but also the four sets of decals in the package (blue color scheme only) allow you to make your own Tiger Cat and stand out in your airfield
It is more than an RC model, it is one for the collectors. Go get the FMS 1700MM “Tiger Cat” to experience its magnificence. | aerospace | 1 |

Boeing insists it has no reason to pull the popular aircraft from the skies.
India on Tuesday grounded Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft in light of the Ethopian Airlines crash, in which 157 people were killed.
SpiceJet has around 12 '737 Max 8' planes in its fleet, while Jet Airways has five.
"DGCA has taken the decision to ground the Boeing 737-MAX planes immediately. These planes will be grounded till appropriate modifications and safety measures are undertaken to ensure their safe operations," the Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a tweet.
"As always, passenger safety remains our top priority. We continue to consult closely with regulators around the world, airlines, and aircraft manufacturers to ensure passenger safety," it added.
On Sunday, a 737 MAX 8 aircraft operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed near Addis Ababa killing 157 people, including four Indians.
This was second such crash involving the 737 MAX 8 aircraft in less than five months. In October last year, an aircraft operated by Lion Air crashed killing over 180 people in Indonesia.
The European Union aviation safety agency also said it was closing European airspace to Boeing 737 MAX aircraft
The UK on Tuesday became yet another country to ban the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft from its airspace in the wake of the Ethiopian Airlines crash involving the model.
The UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said passenger airlines using the aircraft will not be allowed to operate in or over UK airspace "as a precautionary measure" until further notice.
France and Ireland have taken similar steps.
“The UK Civil Aviation Authority has been closely monitoring the situation, however, as we do not currently have sufficient information from the flight data recorder we have, as a precautionary measure, issued instructions to stop any commercial passenger flights from any operator arriving, departing or overflying UK airspace,” a CAA spokesperson said.
"The UK Civil Aviation Authority's safety directive will be in place until further notice,” it noted.
British travel operator TUI confirmed that all of its 737 Max 8 fleet has been grounded.
Norwegian Airlines, which flies planes out of the UK, has also suspended flights of its Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft.
The UK joins Singapore, China, Malaysia and Australia, in grounding the jets after all 157 on board such an aircraft with Ethiopian Airlines died in a crash on Sunday.
It was the second fatal accident involving the 737 Max 8 model in less than five months - the previous crash involving a Lion Air aircraft in Indonesia in October last year when it crashed into the sea off Indonesia and killed all 189 on board.
US officials say the aircraft are still safe to fly.
But the largest operator of 737 Max 8s in the US, Southwest Airlines, is offering passengers scheduled to fly on one of the Boeing planes the chance to change their bookings.
Boeing said it had been developing a flight control software enhancement for several months since the Lion Air Flight 610 disaster last month.
It said the software changes were designed to make "an already safe aircraft even safer".
About 350 Boeing 737 Max 8 are currently in service with airlines around the world, with thousands more on order.
Boeing insists it has no reason to pull the popular aircraft from the skies.

Google smartphones with next-generation 3-D sensing technology are about to blast into orbit, where they will become the brains and eyes of ball-shaped hovering robots on the International Space Station. NASA plans to use the handsets to beef up its Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, Experimental Satellites, or SPHERES, which could eventually take over daily chores for astronauts or even handle risky duties outside of the vessel.
The phones, part of Google's Project Tango augmented-reality initiative, will be aboard Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Cygnus cargo spacecraft, due for launch to the station on Friday. Inspired by a scene from the movie "Star Wars" where Luke Skywalker spars with a hovering globe, the soccer-ball-sized robots can be guided around the station's interior in zero gravity, propelled by tiny blasts of CO2 at about an inch per second.

This thesis addresses control design for fixed-wing air-breathing aircraft. Four aircraft with distinct dynamical properties are considered: a scram-jet powered hypersonic (100foot long, X-43 like, wedge shaped) aircraft with flexible modes operating near Mach 8, 85k ft, a NASA HiMAT (Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Technology) F-18 aircraft, a McDonnell Douglas AV-8A Harrier aircraft, and a Vought F-8 Crusader aircraft. A two-input two-output (TITO) longitudinal LTI (linear time invariant) dynamical model is used for each aircraft. Control design trade studies are conducted for each of the aircraft. Emphasis is placed on the hypersonic vehicle because of its complex nonlinear (unstable, non-minimum phase, …

I have been working with Stratos Jet Charters for almost 3 years now & could not be happier with the services they provide! Working with me on many last minute changes, they are always quick & efficient, extremely professional, genuinely honest & immensely knowledgeable of all products and services they offer. They truly look out for the best interests of their clients. I trust them to always guide me in making the appropriate aircraft choices for our company. I find the ENTIRE team to be THE BEST in the charter aircraft business!!
I had the pleasure to work with Joel on a last minute trip needed to transport several professional athletes to an event. Joel was fast-acting and completely professional every step of the way. He sent constant updates to make sure our trip needs were met every step of the way. I would recommend Joel and Stratos to anybody looking to book private jets who also values professionalism and accountability.
Another place private air charter will surprise you – and save you time - is on the ground. These days flying commercial aircraft means you can sometimes spend as much time on the ground as you do in the air -- making your way through boarding pass and baggage check lines, working your way through TSA procedures, and struggling through plane boarding and overhead bin competition.
For those unfamiliar with air charter costs, prices can initially be a bit intimidating. One reason for the higher costs associated with flying privately is of course the fact that some of the costs incurred are costs that are typically shared by all passengers on commercial flights, whereas, in the case of chartering a private aircraft, you are chartering the entire aircraft and crew for your exclusive use.
Air Charter Service arranges helicopter charters, private jet aircraft and executive airliner charters, as well as a huge range of small specialist personal aircraft, for a variety of clients including senior business executives, celebrities and royalty. Our team is also able to provide urgently required medical charters to sick and injured patients. Our dedicated charter experts can arrange your private jet booking and are available 24/7, just submit a private jet quote to contact yours now.
Because a charter flight is not part of a scheduled service, the flight will depart when you want it to. You are also able to choose which cities you fly to and from. Charter Flights are particularly convenient when you need to travel to a city where scheduled airline service may require multiple connections or layovers before you reach your destination.
When looking for commercial airline tickets, although some carriers offer a better product than others, the difference in quality amongst carriers is far less than that of private jet options. Simply put, there are exponentially more variables in private jet flights which dictate value than there are for commercial flights. Because of this, it is much more difficult to properly compare two private jet quotes from two different providers than you may think.
Clay Lacy has a wide variety of luxurious private jets for charter. We have the smaller Learjet or Hawker aircraft suitable for a short flight across the country or larger Gulfstream jets that make trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights a relaxing, high-class experience. Chartering a private jet with Clay Lacy is perfect for your next business trip to Asia or romantic getaway to the Caribbean. Clay Lacy’s exceptional 24-hour concierge service can arrange ground transportation, upscale accommodations, and other exclusive privileges.
Using a private jet rental to get to a holiday destination ensures the additional benefit of access to private terminals for faster security check-ins, ensuring that more time is spent enjoying the getaway instead of waiting in line. With its ability to access more locations around the world and enhanced potential for personalisation, chartering privately is the perfect way to travel for pleasure. | aerospace | 1 |

A feasibility demonstration model of a fluidic thrust vector control FTVC system was designed, fabricated, and tested for pitch stabilization of ejection seats using the STAPAC vernier rocket. The control system includes a rate sensor, amplifier, attitude memory, and a position-controlled hydrofluidic servoactuator. The measured dynamic response of the control system closely matched the theoretical specifications for stable attitude control of the seat. The hardware was tested on a hydraulic rate table without rocket firing. Author | aerospace | 1 |

The new Anti-Skid Braking System is available as an option on the new production Eclipse 550 jets and will be offered as a retrofit to the existing fleet. In-aircraft testing is complete with certification and availability expected within six months.
ABS allows for maximum braking energy and skid control without the need for a conventional hydraulic system, which is unique to the Eclipse Jet. “Testing of this system has exceeded our expectations, from normal touchdown speeds to a complete stop in less than 750 feet with aggressive braking”, states Cary Winter, SVP of Eclipse Aerospace Engineering.
This innovative and proven technology will add yet another level of safety to the Eclipse Jet’s robust set of safety features and stellar safety record. The new system will include two brake control valves installed in each wheel well, two axle mounted wheel speed sensors, a computer, and a software update to our Avio Processing Center software. The total installation weighs approximately 17 pounds. Eclipse Aerospace will also be offering a weight reduction package that will minimize the weight impact of the ABS installation. The Anti-Skid Braking System will be available as an option on all IFMS equipped aircraft.
“ABS and the previously announced Auto Throttles are just two of the many exciting new features and engineering enhancements Eclipse Aerospace will be releasing in the very near future.” stated Winter.
The fully certified ABS retrofit installation for the Eclipse Jet will be available in early 2013, with installation on new production Eclipse 550 Jets available at initial deliveries. Based on the performance experienced in testing, Eclipse will seek to adjust the Aircraft Flight Manual performance numbers as appropriate. | aerospace | 1 |

At 3:45 PM EST, SpaceX had a successful launch of their Falcon Heavy rocket. On this clear, sunny day, Kennedy Space Center is bustling with 100,000 people to watch the world’s largest rocket. There has not been this much activity in the area since the last Space Shuttle mission in 2011.
In a press conference on February 5th, Elon Musk talked about his excitement for this launch and how he is “quite giddy and happy”. Musk explains to the listeners how the night before a launch he is usually feeling “super stressed out”, but with the launch of the Heavy he is content in knowing that they did everything they possibly could have to prepare for today. He tells us “I’m sure we’ve done everything we could do to maximize the chance of the success of this mission. I think once you’ve done everything that you can think of, if it still goes wrong, there’s nothing you could have done. So I feel at peace with that”.
The launch window opened at 1:30 PM EST, but the time kept getting pushed back further and further due to upper level winds, deeming it unsafe to fly. With the window closing at 4:30 PM EST, reporters and spectators held our breath and prepared to hear the news that we would be trying again tomorrow. But finally, the clock started going down again after holding for an hour.
When the rocket finally left Historic Launch Complex 39-A, the ground shook and the crowds all over cheered. The noise was so loud that you felt it in your chest. The two boosters landed successfully at Landing Zones 1 and 2, but feed to the core was cut off before we learned the outcome of it.
Later in the post launch press conference, Musk enlightened us that he was told the core never relit for the landing burn. This made it crashing into the water about 100 yards away from the drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” at about 300 mph. However, he stated that “if I had to pick any [to recover], I’d rather the boosters because of the titanium grid fins”.
Starman and the Tesla are currently being live streamed until the camera batteries run out. If you look, you can get a good look at the SpaceX flight suit, which took the team 3 years to design. Musk wanted to make sure that they were functional, of course, but that they also look good. On the dashboard of the Tesla, there is a smaller version of Starman, and on the circuit board it says “made on Earth by humans”. Musk said he fantasized about an alien race, and they will wonder why we sent the car, and why there was a smaller car inside of it.
So what does the future look like for the Falcon Heavy? Musk has full confidence that they will be able to meet whatever the demand is for the Falcon Heavy for future missions, believing that they will even be able to launch another Heavy within three to six months with a satellite. By the end of this year, SpaceX hopes to launch astronauts to orbit with the new Dragon Version 2, which is currently still being developed.

For as long as he can remember, Anthony Hennig has always been excited about space. His high school and college teachers made him curious about where he could fit into the space systems engineering field. He's excited that he's now getting to meet and get to know some of the people in the field whose work he's been reading. His summer internships got him involved with people who do mission and systems architecture design, which he will combine with advocacy for spaceflight as he pursues graduate studies in Systems Engineering at the George Washington University.
He has done a number of internships at NASA's Langley Research Center, including two summers with the Space Mission Analysis Branch working on concept development and feasibility for a mission studying the atmosphere of Venus. At RIT he started the Space Exploration Research Group focusing on space systems engineering. With students and faculty, Anthony raised funds, established a mission control center, supports senior design projects and is starting a 3U Cubesat project.
He thinks his 10-year-old self would be excited about what he's doing now, since he figured out a way to get involved with NASA and work on new space missions.
As a mentor, he is still active in FIRST Robotics, mentoring his high school team, as well as teams in Ohio and Virginia. He also serves as the Lead Robot Inspector for the Finger Lakes Region.
For students preparing scholarship applications and choosing references, he advises thinking about people you talk to the most, not just as a student, but as a friend and colleague. As he says, "The people you work with or talk with often (both professionally and socially) on topics of mutual interest tend to write the best letters."
Anthony participates in lots of sports, including broomball, soccer, running and weightlifting. He's also taken up astrophotography and trying to get back to playing music. And he's always out searching for new museums and local markets. | aerospace | 1 |

He has attached a camera to an R/C plane to take pictures from the air in the past, so when storms blanketed the Seattle region in snow last week, he decided to send his plane aloft again, to check out the view from above.
“Snow completely changes the way an area looks from the air,” he says. “I have taken many pictures in the area I live, but have never gotten any when it snowed. So, I took the opportunity, turned on the plane and camera, and flew. I was very happy with how the shots turned out, especially the morning shots that had the sunrise in them.”
He got some spectacular shots. He submitted one to KING5 News, which featured the picture on air. After seeing it, we wanted to know exactly how he did it.
With help from the team at KING5.com, we were able to find Zach, and we asked him a bunch of questions via email. Continue reading for excerpts from his responses.
The setup: “I am using a Multiplex Funcub, which is very similar to a real-life bush plane. I use a GoPro for the pictures, which is attached on the bottom of the plane via a GoPro mount facing outwards and slightly down. In un-cropped pictures you can see some of the wing and wheel/tire since the GoPro has such a wide angle lens, so I crop the pictures accordingly.”
The process: “To capture the pictures, the GoPro has a camera mode which takes pictures every three seconds or so. I turn on the GoPro in this mode, and then take off. (I fly) in a way that points the camera towards the areas I want to capture for at least 30 seconds so I’m sure I get the picture I want. Then, I come back and look at the raw files and pick the best. Surprisingly, they all come out very clear for being on an airplane that can sometimes bounce around in the wind.”
The distance: “The range of the transmitter I use is well over a mile. However, I never fly farther than I can see. I would guess the average altitude I’m at for the pictures is around 400 feet, but for a couple of them, I went even higher, probably around 700-800 feet. I could barely see the plane and had to keep my focus on it; if I were to look away from the area for even a split second I could lose the plane.”
Risk of crashing into something? “The legal FAA altitude for full scale planes over a heavily populated is 1000 feet over the highest obstacle within a 2000 foot radius, and since there is a 300+ foot antenna a little ways away from where I live, that would put a full scale plane at 1,300 feet, well above where any R/C plane is. As for hitting things such as birds; the odds are as slim as hitting one in a full scale airplane, if not less, since the R/C plane is so much smaller.”
His R/C photography tips: “For any current R/C pilots or people interested in taking aerial photography, my main recommendation is to have a plane that can support the weight of the camera and still fly well, especially climb well. The plane I have has about a 2:1 power to weight ratio. It weighs about 40oz and the motor puts out about 77oz of thrust. When the plane is at bare flying weight, I can hold the plane in my hand, apply full throttle, and it will fly straight up vertically out of my hand. Having this power is essential when you add an extra four ounces to the plane. … The only other thing I would recommend is fly a plane that is very stable; any plane that is squirrelly (very erratic in the air), will make for blurry pictures.”
Zach belongs to the Northwest Electric Flyers and the Marymoor R/C Club, serving as an instructor, but R/C planes are just the beginning for him. He earned his sport pilot’s license a month ago, on his 17th birthday, after learning to fly powered parachutes under the instruction of Mark Martin, of Seattle Powerchutes.
Next he plans to transition to fixed-wing aircraft, major in aviation in college, get his commercial pilot’s rating, and ultimately make his living as a pilot.
“I’m grateful that my parents, friends, and family support my dreams and enthusiasm towards aviation. My grandpa and grand-uncle were pilots in World War II, and my great-uncle on my mom’s side is currently a charter pilot in California,” he says. “I would say I caught the bug.”
No kidding. Here are more of the pictures that Zach took from his R/C plane last week, including one that shows the Bellevue and Seattle skylines in the distance. (Click for larger versions.) | aerospace | 1 |

The first 88-seat Embraer 175 aircraft is to be delivered in September 2011 with the final scheduled delivery on the firm orders being made in March 2017.
The airline has committed to 35 firm orders, with 65 on option and 40 purchase options.
Flybe chairman and chief executive Jim French said: “The 175 will give Flybe significant added capacity and is particularly suited to the sector lengths prevalent in Europe that we are most interested in exploiting.”
He added: “We today also throw down the challenge to the regional airline manufacturers to develop a new form of jet to be available in 2017.
“We want manufacturers to combine the economic and environmental performance of the turboprop with the positive benefits of jet performance. Such a combination will provide the right technological platform from 2020 onwards.”
Embraer executive vice president Paulo Cesar de Souza e Silva said: “Flybe’s decision to select the Embraer 175 to complement its existing fleet of 14 E-Jets is great news.
“Sharing more than 86% commonality with the Embraer 195, the E-175 will continue meeting Flybe’s stringent requirements for cost efficiency and high levels of comfort and functionality.” | aerospace | 1 |

The Detik News website reported that the black box had been found near the aircraft fragments at the depth of 30 meters (98.4 miles) below the surface of the water off the Indonesian north coast, where the plane crashed on Monday.
"That happened several times during the flight", he said.
Indonesia's biggest low-priced carrier announced this year it was buying 50 Boeing-737 MAX 10 jets for $6.24 billion.
The Lion Air flight JT610, which was carrying 189 people, plunged into the Java Sea on Monday.
Edward Sirait, the president of Lion Air, has said the company was aware of reports of problems on the flight on Sunday and that a technical issue was "resolved in accordance with the procedures released by the plane manufacturer".
In response to Monday's crash, the Australia's government has banned officials and contractors from flying on Lion Air pending results of the investigation.
Boeing Co. experts are expected to arrive Indonesia on Wednesday and Lion Air has said an "intense" internal investigation is underway in addition to the probe by safety regulators.
Lion's co-founder Rusdi Kirana, now Indonesia's ambassador to Malaysia, said he had met with passengers' families and called the crisis "exhausting and saddening for everybody". After narrowing the possible location, "I started digging and cleaning the debris until I finally found an orange object", he said, standing on the deck of a ship next to his diving mate.
The accident has also resurrected concerns about Indonesia's poor air safety record which until recently saw the country's carriers facing years-long bans from entering European Union and USA airspace.
Inspections have already been carried out on Lion Air's other Boeing 737 MAX 8 planes, preventing them from flying.
Shoes of passengers of Flight 610 were laid out at the Tanjung Priok port in Jakarta.
National Transportation Safety Committee investigator Ony Soeryo Wibowo addressed media in Jakarta following the discovery, explaining that the particular piece of equipment was not recovered in its entirety.
His wife Ningsy Ayorbaba, interviewed at a Jakarta police hospital where she had taken her three children for DNA tests to help with victim identification, said: "My husband sent that video".
The cause of the crash has yet to be established, but questions have been raised after Lion Air admitted the plane had an unspecified technical issue on a previous flight. Its aircraft have been involved in at least 15 safety incidents and it has been placed under tougher worldwide safety restrictions than other Indonesian airlines. | aerospace | 1 |

Literature Review: Aircraft Design Development
The airline industry is important to the development of an economy. The development of the aircraft design has evolved a great deal since the discovery of the first airplane. There is increasing number of people who want to use airline daily. The increase in number of people who want to use airline daily comes with the problem of increased luggage to carry and as a result delays in the boardrooms. Besides, no one likes delays and customers must not leave airline travel for other alternatives. Therefore, improved customer experience that will result into a stable economy for the airlines is necessary.
The desire to stabilize the economy of the airlines is dependent on improving the quality of services delivered by the airlines. This entails a design of aircrafts that will have increased efficiency and comfort besides the airline services that will improve customers’ experience through an increased security of personal valuables. Other important factors also include baggage charges, fear of lost luggage and wait time at arrival airport. According to Mital and Subramanian (2008), greatest profits can be obtained when the best quality products are manufactured; this forms the fundamental basis for product design and development.
Several options are being explored to help control the rising demand of the aircrafts. Many aircraft manufactory are now in competition with the Airbus and Boeing by designing the best match aircraft for various uses in the airline industry (New product development by Airbus and Boeing is re-shaping the global jet aircraft, 2014). There are also ideas to come up with aircraft design that will minimize maintenance cost of fleets of aircrafts through the wireless sensor technology (Vujic, 2014).The technology intends to mount the wireless sensor on the aircraft structure to monitor the structural damage of the aircraft. Besides, other factors of design such as tools of design, design of the wings and how the structural members should be put together are issues that the aviation engineering team is focusing on to improve airlines (Azamatov and Byun, 2010). All these efforts focus on solving limits to plane’s carry-on and reducing fear of lost luggage.
Does the aircraft design development focus on improved customer experience and economy development?
The developments in the design of aircraft are all aimed at improving the customers’ experience. They include efficiency, reducing delays time in the board room and offering security to personal valuables. All these factors are achieved through specialized designs that have evolved over time. The current technology is being incorporated into the airline services to improve customer communication with the crew and in turn an improvement on efficiency (Oswald, 2004, and Allan and Ian, 2004). For instance, the British Airline crew has adopted the use iPad to enhance how customers communicate with the airline crew (John 2006). The customers can make orders of meals and drinks using the iPad.
The aviation engineering team is also working on ways to improve various structural design of the airline parts. There is a changing trend in how wings for airplanes are now fi...

It’s been nicknamed the “Great Pumpkin” and the “Spooky” Asteroid, but in reality, scientists have a good handle on 2015 TB145, the asteroid scheduled to approach Earth on Saturday night.
2015 TB145 is approximately 400 m (1,300 feet) in diameter and will pass by the Earth just beyond the moon’s orbit.
"The trajectory of 2015 TB145 is well understood," said Paul Chodas, manager of the Center for Near Earth Object Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "At the point of closest approach, it will be no closer than about 300,000 miles -- 480,000 kilometers or 1.3 lunar distances. Even though that is relatively close by celestial standards, it is expected to be fairly faint, so night-sky Earth observers would need at least a small telescope to view it."

If you do angle your lens to the sky this week, you’ll be joining hoards of astrophysicists all eager to take advantage of this opportunity. Except that they’ll be tracking the flyby on Halloween with the 34-meter (110-foot) DSS 13 antenna at Goldstone. Radio waves emitted by the antenna will bounce off the asteroid and be collected by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s Green Bank Telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia and the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center’s Arecibo Observatory, Puerto Rico.
Some scientists are particularly interest in the asteroid because of certain peculiar characteristics: it’s oblong orbit is steering it below the plane of our flat solar system and it’s been clocked at 35 kilometers (22 miles) per second — unusually fast for an asteroid. These are both qualities more commonly seen in comets.
Unlike asteroids, a comet is chemically active. As its orbit approaches the sun, a comet may start to vaporize, emitting a tail of dust and gases. Asteroids, on the other hand, are inert (inactive) bodies of rock.
If 2015 TB145 is a comet, Lance Benner of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says “this would be the first time that the Goldstone radar has imaged a comet from such a close distance."
Comets are believed by some to have brought the first organic molecules to Earth, kickstarting life as we know it. Like asteroids, however, they also present a very real danger to life on Earth.
2015 TB145 was discovered on October 10, 2015 by the NASA-funded Near-Earth Object Observation (NEOO) Program, sometimes called the “Spaceguard.”
The NEOO Program tracks all asteroids and comets destined to pass within 30 million miles of Earth. Based on ground- and space-based telescopes, NEOO scientists map the predicted paths of these objects and determine whether they threaten the planet. So far, none have.
But what will we do when NEOO finds an asteroid that spells doom for humanity? According to Neil deGrasse Tyson in a recent episode of StarTalk, two popular strategies have been proposed. The first and simplest strategy is to blow it up. This low-tech solution may be cost-effective, but the debris from the explosion could be just as damaging as the asteroid itself.
The better strategy, Tyson argues, is to deflect the asteroid ever so slightly. This method would use technology called a Gravitational Tractor Beam that hasn’t yet been developed. Watch Tyson’s explanation of the technology in this video:

LONDON (AP) – A medical drone supply service based by trainee docs that goals to move coronavirus samples, check kits and protecting gear between hospitals has received the backing of Britain’s House Company.
The beginning-up venture may help release healthcare employees, keep away from courier ready instances and decrease the danger of virus transmission, authorities mentioned Saturday.
Trainee docs Hammad Jeilani and Christopher Regulation are trialing “dronepad” infrastructure so the miniature plane can take off from and land on hospitals, laboratories and warehouses. They’re planning to scale up the trials and arrange a nationwide community of safe air corridors to allow the drone supply service to work safely throughout Nationwide Well being Service websites.
The hybrid drones – which have the rotors of a typical drone and the wings of a airplane – can carry a most of two kilograms (4.4 kilos) and fly about 60 miles (96 kilometers.)
The drone venture is amongst others set to share 1.3 million kilos ($1.7 million) of funding from the U.Okay. House Company and the European House Company to companies growing space-based options for challenges created by Covid-19.

FAA’s Deny of Request
In the midst of many carriers across the globe suffering from pilot shortages, many American regional operators are the ones being more heavily affected by this shortage, Republic Airways has approached the FAA for the carrier to be exempt from the 1,500 hours flying time rule.
The carrier had submitted a proposal to the aviation authority whereby instead of the 1,500 hours flying time threshold would be reduced to 750 hours and will be done through the carrier’s in-house training program.
The FAA has since rejected this request from Republic Airways citing that the 750 hours flying time rule would fail to provide an equivalent level of satay to what the 1,500 hours rule does.
The carrier currently provides regional services across North America for three of the U.S. ‘Big Four’ carriers, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.
Republic Airways’ in-house training program known as LIFT (Leadership in Flight Training Academy) would be responsible for training their pilots whereby graduates would be able to apply for a restricted air transport pilot license (R-ATP) with the same flight hour requirement that military or ex-military pilots would need to transition across into the commercial aviation industry.
Due to the lack of pilots for regional carriers, many have had to significantly reduce their operations out of small and medium-sized cities, which has of course resulted in a drop in air travel service to those communities, until pilots can be hired for capacity to be reintroduced back into those communities.
Republic Airways has mentioned that their request for the 750 hours rule will help communities by enabling more pilots to graduate through the training program, whilst ensuring the highest level of safety.
Republic Airways said, “Providing comprehensive and structured training for civilian pilots through training that satisfies the spirit of regulations while enhancing safety and providing a benefit to the public.”
As well as pushing these remarks forward to the FAA, Republic Airways has also done some analysis on how much the training would cost through three different avenues, these are as follows –
- Private University Programs – $219,600
- Public University Programs – $171,333
- Republic’s LIFT Program – $75,000
As you can see their in-house LIFT training program comes out lots cheaper than other funded programs, which also incur higher hours being obtained by the pilots before they are able to begin commercial operations.
The FAA stated in its ruling on the request from Republic Airways, saying, “The FAA finds that the supporting materials and LIFT historical data does not sufficiently support Republic’s claim that the Republic R-ATP Program is sufficiently comparable to the training program of a military branch to warrant a reduction in flight hours.”
“Specifically, while Republic provides the overarching structure of its training program, the FAA does not find that the curriculum facilitates the rigorous and comprehensive training reflected in military training.”
It is evident that Republic Airways is pushing the regulator for an easier avenue to be created whereby it will enable more pilots to come through into the industry at a much faster rate than at present, which will help combat the shortage and will grant the return of capacity to those communities that have since suffered from reduced services across North America. | aerospace | 1 |

Some years ago I found flying from west of U.S to east U.S. took 1 hour less time than return trip, I didn't find answer at that time. Recently I decided to investigate this by the help of google search.
The answer is simple: WIND . But wait, why do most people in the world find flying east takes shorter time, does the wind over Earth surface always flies east? Then I studied some flights schedule around the equator such as Singapore to Tokyo and some flights in South America, there's no significant difference in flying time between goes and come-backs. After I read some articles, below factors should be considered:
- Wind and Earth Rotation or Prevailing Winds . You know the directions of the winds in different areas of the world.
- The locations of most cities with flights. Open the world map, you can find the much more cities are located between lattitude 30 and 60, in this area, the direction of wind is from the west to the east.
- You should consider long distance flights (>3 hours), otherwise the airplane may not spend most of time at cruise speed, and many other factors (such as reserving time for air traffic control) can affect the flying time.
- Coriolis effect. Yes, it affects the direction of the wind and it also affects the trails of airplanes, i.e. when the airplane flies from low lattitude to high lattitude, the plane will be deflected to the east. However, Coriolis itself nearly does not affect the differences of flying time between goes and come-backs. For example, if you fly northwest from Singapore to North Eurpoe, the real flying distance may be longer than you imagine from the map, the return trip is also longer.
Am I right? I'm not 100% sure. I'm just trying to explain the reason :) | aerospace | 1 |

(WKRN) – Middle Tennessee State University unveiled a new bachelor’s degree in Unmanned Aircraft Systems or UAS Thursday.
The program is offered through the school’s Department of Aerospace and will teach students how to build and fly drones.
Kurt Cleveland, President of Franklin-based unmanned aircraft retailer Hobby Express, said, “Having a university come out with a program that allows, that delivers, the training and safety and experience [operating unmanned aircraft] is a fantastic move.”
According to Cleveland, industries in the past have been reliant on “helicopter activity and risking lives” to accomplish their goals. He told News 2 unmanned aircraft are much safer and more cost effective.
MTSU says students are already using drones to help the agriculture sector by flying over crops and livestock to insure both are healthy.
The school predicts tens of thousands of jobs will be created in response to drone technology.
Industries currently using unmanned aircrafts include public safety, media, disaster response, and defense, among others.
The Tennessee Board of Regents approved the new degree last year.
According to MTSU, the program is one of only a handful of its kind in the country. | aerospace | 1 |

Why you won’t find Wheels Up when you look at lists of private aviation operators
Sizing the U.S. private jet market between Part 91, Part 91K fractional and Part 135 charter operators
8 of the 10 largest companies are led by the founder or family member
Here’s a big difference between the private jet market and the airlines. Just 10 airlines account for 90% of the domestic market for scheduled passenger traffic. Four companies – Delta Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines – are responsible for two-thirds of U.S. flights.
Despite consolidation, business aviation remains fragmented. An analysis by Private Jet Card Comparisons of various reports from Argus TRAQPak and other data shows the 25 largest operators of charter and fractional fleets together account for just 25% of all U.S. flying.
FXAIR is the new premium ad hoc charter brand from Directional Aviation and will replace PrivateFly in the U.S.
17 Flexjet Bombardier Challenger 300s and Global Express XRSs will provide the backbone for the new private aviation provider

The airline recently backed out after long delays and a federal environmental review process, but a A Horizon spokesperson said last week that airline would be compelled to offer service if a competitor began operating out of the airport.
The FAA gave its final stamp of approval last week for both Horizon and Allegiant to fly passengers out of the airport.
The county said Monday it has begun an environmental review process that could take six months.
It’s still not clear how a two-gate terminal would be funded. | aerospace | 1 |

Also Tata Ltd., a UK offshoot of India’s Tata Group, increase its stake from 33 to 44.5 percent…That means Mubadala and Tata are now the main financial backers of development of the Italian-built Hammerhead, which is an unmanned version of Piaggio Aero’s main seller, the P.180 twin-prop business aircraft….
But the Italian Defense Ministry has not invested in the program, creating an unusual situation in which Indian and Arabian Gulf capital is funding the development of a UAV in which Italy is certifying and showing keen interest….Italy and the UAE have discussed UAV development before. In 2009, the gulf state selected the Italian M-346 jet trainer, but the deal stalled, allegedly over problems related to a side deal on UAVs. Plans had reportedly been made to codevelop a UAV with specifications that exceeded those set down by the Missile Technology Control Regime, which restricts the sales of missiles and UAVs able to carry a 500-kilogram payload at least 300 kilometers. Italy is a signatory of the treaty.
At the Paris Air Show, Debertolis said Italy would consider arming the Hammerhead, noting that the aircraft was large enough to hold weapons in internal bays and that half of what is cabin space in the manned version would remain unused. But he added that the payload would remain within the 500-kilogram maximum set down by the Missile Technology Control Regime.

As part of ESA’s Global Exploration Roadmap, Milrem will help to develop an automatic mission planning system for extended lunar missions. This system will be able to draw on remote observation, local imagery, and sensor data, and rover resources to assess points of interest based on mission priorities and add or remove points. As the system matures, it can also be used for missions to Mars and near-Earth asteroids over the next two decades.
One future example of this is the European Large Logistic Lander (EL3), which includes a rover for collecting samples for return to Earth. Once this task is completed, the rover will carry out surface exploration under the supervision of Surface Operations teams on Earth as it covers anticipated distances of up to 186 miles (300 km).

One of the limitations of satellite observations of Earth is the long-term drift of the accelerometers that monitor and correct for drag on the satellite. To date classical accelerometers have been used to perform this task. Although these are advanced, cutting edge sensors, all suffer from long term drift and insufficeint sensitivity for some tasks. The aim of this project is to design, numerically model, construct and test a new concept in quantum limited measurements of acceleration suitable for space deployment. | aerospace | 1 |

The Swiss aviation services provider recently signed an agreement with MedAire to offer a standard, fleet-wide medical package, including 24/7 access to emergency care doctors, equiping aircraft with on-board medical kits, and aviation medical training for 125 pilots and flight attendants.
RDT (Stand No. 542) has introduced the new Tempus IC version of its in-flight medical emergency response system. The new model is significantly lighter and more compact than the original Tempus 2000 system and offers new communications tools that allow for new functions such as streaming live video of patients to doctors on the ground.
Jet Aviation has joined a growing number of Part 121 air carriers and Part 135 charter carriers offering more than just automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) as lifesaving equipment aboard their aircraft by signing a contract with Remote Diagnostic Technologies (RDT) to offer the Tempus 2000 aboard the aircraft it manages.
In the last 10 years, the odds of facing an in-flight medical emergency haven’t changed much, but thanks to the development of aviation telemedicine, the odds of surviving such an event have gone up considerably.
Flight nurse Joan Sullivan Garrett never envisioned herself as an entrepreneur and certainly never as the head of a multi-million-dollar company with global assets and Fortune 500 clients. But that’s the way it turned out, and 18 years after she founded it, her company–MedAire–is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and was expected to bring in revenues of more than $25 million last year. | aerospace | 1 |

The satellites have been put into sun-synchronous orbit beneath a business association with Antrix Corp Ltd, the business arm of the Indian Area Analysis Organisation (ISRO), the Indian area company.
The full lift-off weight of the 2 satellites was 889 kg.
NovaSAR weighing 445 kg is an S-Band Artificial Aperture Radar satellite tv for pc meant for forest mapping, land use and ice cowl monitoring, flood and catastrophe monitoring.
S1-Four weighing 444 kg is a high-resolution Optical Earth Remark Satellite tv for pc, used for surveying sources, surroundings monitoring, city administration and for catastrophe monitoring.
After the profitable launch, ISRO Chairman Ok. Sivan stated: “The PSLV rocket preciously positioned two of our buyer satellites in 583 km orbit. The success will give added power for the business to make PSLV.”
At 10.08 p.m. the 4 staged/engine PSLV-CA rocket, standing 44.Four metres tall and weighing 230.Four tonnes, blasted off from the primary launch pad.

Aircraft of Russia’s Aerospace Force scramble almost ten times more frequently today than three years ago to intercept foreign military planes near Russian borders, First Deputy Chief of the Defense Ministry’s Main Department for International Military Cooperation Yevgeny Ilyin said on Wednesday.
"Over the past three years, the number of takeoffs by the aircraft of Russia’s Aerospace Force to intercept potential trespassers of the state borders has risen by almost ten times," Ilyin said at the roundtable discussion in the upper house of Russia’s parliament on the country’s security against external threats.
Russian fighters scrambled again on Monday to intercept US B-52 strategic bombers over the Baltic and Black Seas, the defense official said.
"The participation of US strategic bombers in drills in the European theater of military operations is becoming a norm," he noted.
The United States is thus regularly checking Russia’s readiness and resolve to react to such threats, he said.
Russia’s Defense Ministry reported on June 17 that Russian Su-27 fighter jets from the quick reaction alert force made intercepts of US B-52H strategic bombers that had approached the state border of Russia from the Black and Baltic Seas. | aerospace | 1 |

The sound of rotor blades chopping through the air above western New York might, for some, signify the worst day of someone’s life. But from another perspective, it offers reassurance that there is a service in the area that is dedicated to helping people and saving lives. That service is non-profit air medical provider Mercy Flight.
Headquartered in Buffalo, New York, with three other New York state bases in Springville, Olean, and Batavia, Mercy Flight — along with its ground ambulance division, Mercy Flight EMS — is a program that is truly there for the people.
“To know that you’re a part of impacting somebody’s outcome on one of the worst days of their life is just so gratifying,” said Margie Ferrentino, executive vice president at Mercy Flight. “And it doesn’t always go well, but what we know and find comfort in is that no matter what the outcome, hopefully the family and loved ones know that we gave the patient every chance possible… and that we were there for them.”
Mercy Flight began operations in 1981, originating from an idea that founder/president Doug Baker had while running a ground ambulance service that transported high-risk babies and mothers from all over western New York and northern Pennsylvania. During his time transporting acute patients by ground, Baker realized it was taking too long to get the patients to the care they needed. “I thought to myself, this would be a great situation for a helicopter,” he recalled. “I had some experience in the [U.S.] Army flying — some. I was no expert. But I got this idea. . . . And I thought if I could break even, it would be terrific because we’d be helping patients and their families.”
With an idea in place, the next step was to get the ball rolling with some help. Baker visited two hospitals in the Buffalo area and asked for support with medical direction for the paramedics. One after the other, they said no — with the concern for potential exposure to lawsuits.
“Then I went out to the Mercy [Hospital], which was a hospital that I operated the ambulances for,” Baker said. “I sat down with Sister Sheila Marie Walsh, who was the CEO of the Mercy at that time, and explained what I wanted to do. She said, ‘OK, go downstairs and see Dr. Burke,’ who was the head of the emergency room at the Mercy at that time. And he said, ‘OK, when do we start?'”
Launching with one single-engine Bell 206B JetRanger and a handful of paramedics in the early 1980s, Mercy Flight was up and running — relying on fundraising and public support to operate. There were no helicopters associated with hospitals in the area at the time, and certainly no ground or rooftop helipads in place. “We painted an ‘H’ in the doctor’s parking lot [at Mercy Hospital] . . . and that was the first helicopter associated with a hospital in Buffalo,” said Walsh, who now sits on the board of Mercy Flight.
Now, Mercy Flight transports patients to four major hospitals in the Buffalo area — all equipped with rooftop helipads. Aside from Mercy Hospital, the organization frequently flies to ECMC Hospital, John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital, and Buffalo General Medical Center.
Baker said he never imagined the program would grow beyond one helicopter, but as it gained traction, the need for more aircraft became clear. Over the years, the organization has transitioned from the 206B to a few Bell 206 LongRangers, followed by MBB Bo.105s, and then onto Airbus BK117s.
As its BK117 fleet began to age, Mercy Flight made the decision to replace those aircraft with the Bell 429, taking delivery of its first of the type in 2011. In 2018, the program got an additional three 429 helicopters, and officially retired its BK117s.
Now, with a fleet of four 429s and over 200 employees — both ground and air — Mercy Flight has transported thousands upon thousands of patients over the years; in 2018 alone, the organization transported over 12,000 patients with a combination of air and ground ambulances.
“To see this program transform and grow from this fledgling little helicopter program to what it is today has just been a blessing to witness,” said Ferrentino, who was instrumental in helping Baker and Walsh launch Mercy Flight 38 years ago.
The Bell 429 brings several benefits to an operation like Mercy Flight where every minute counts. Topping the list are power and efficiency.
“About half of our calls are on-scene transfers, [and] the other half are hospital transfers,” said Marc Boies, director of flight operations. “With the on-scenes we generally are landing on roadsides, fields, [and] somewhat challenging environments. . . . The nice thing about the Bell 429 is it has the power to get you in and out of anywhere that we operate.”
When a call comes in to Mercy Flight’s communication center, the goal is to get the aircraft off the ground within 10 minutes. Jennifer Crotty, chief flight nurse at Mercy Flight, said the 429’s quick start-up time makes the 10-minute goal easier to reach. The quick shut-down time also allows for the engine to be shut off while loading and unloading patients. “It allows us to be in and out faster,” she said.
Furthering the program’s efficiency, Mercy Flight made the decision to standardize its 429 fleet in terms of the cockpit, medical equipment, and loading platform, which makes operations easier on the organization’s 14 pilots — who completed ground and flight training on the 429 in Fort Worth, Texas.
It was decided that a tactical radio that could be operated in New York and Pennsylvania was necessary, which led Mercy Flight to select the four-band Technisonic 9300 radio — which allows pilots to communicate with fire and law enforcement type agencies.
The 429s also feature a Garmin avionics suite, with the 650/750 touchscreen flight displays, traffic collision avoidance system, helicopter terrain avoidance and warning system, and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) in and out. Boies said fuel flow is also integrated into the Garmin, which helps with flight planning for on-scene calls.
The medical interiors on the 429s have been standardized across the fleet, but Boies said the organization started out with a slightly different interior on its first 429, and made the decision to change it when the other three aircraft arrived.
“Over the last five years, we’ve designed a different package to accommodate the myriad of patient transports we could be doing,” he added. “We’re doing more and more specialty transports with balloon [pumps] and ECMO [extracorporeal membrane oxygenation machines]. We’ve always done ICN stat-type incubator transports, too.”
Developed by AeroLite AG, with the completions done by Uniflight Global, the medical interior in Mercy Flight’s 429s allows the aircraft to accommodate the “worst-case-scenario patient,” said Boies.
The interior features three seats in the back with swivels for medical crewmembers, along with a unique loading tray with modified brackets that allows for the ventilator, monitor, oxygen, and IV pump equipment to be stored on one unit. There is also an area on the cabin wall that provides suction on board — charged and powered by the aircraft — with the ability to pull the unit off the wall and bring it right into the hospital with the patient.
The stretcher can hold up to a 480-pound (215-kilogram) patient, while the litter weighs only 22 lb. (10 kg). In the case of bringing a patient out of an entrapment situation, the litter can be taken out of the aircraft and brought right to the scene to load the patient. “There are four different positions that [the litter] can be locked in during the flight, other than for takeoff and landing,” said Boies. “So, it [offers] multiple different areas for the medical crew to work on the patient.”
Mercy Flight recently opted to switch from the clamshell doors to a side-loading door for various safety reasons. “It enhances safety because nobody ever then has to go past the sliding door,” Boies explained. “Ground crews are restricted to that as part of our ground crew safety program. And even the crews for a walk-around — you don’t have to check any security on a clamshell and walk underneath the tail of the aircraft.”
Moreover, “sometimes we will hot load patients and the pilot has better visibility [with the side load] as they come in and out of the aircraft,” he added.
Aside from improved safety, getting rid of the clamshell doors also took 40 lb. (18 kg) off of the aircraft, which is that much more fuel that can be carried, said Rick Parson, director of maintenance. According to Parson, having a fleet of standardized Bell 429s keeps the work inside Mercy Flight’s base hangars running smoothly.
The Buffalo base is a certified repair station, which allows maintenance personnel to remove and install transmissions and engines, and perform the typical maintenance that is done on a 429 in-house. Parson said the 429s are easy to maintain; “the systems seem to be a lot better, and a lot of it is self-diagnostic with the computer systems.”
One thing that has really made a difference on the maintenance side is upgrading the main rotor head on the fleet. The shear bearing on the old-style rotor head would typically only last 800 to 1,000 hours, and would put the aircraft out of commission for two days for repairs. Since doing the upgrade, there has yet to be a failure on a shear bearing in 5,000 flight hours. “Makes our lives a lot easier,” said Parson.
When minutes matter
“At Mercy Flight, we’ve always had the slogan “When Minutes Matter,” said Boies. “Our goal is to safely and efficiently get the aircraft off the ground [and] on the way to the patient, so we can speed up the process to the hospital or the higher level of care.”
Mercy Flight’s communication center keeps busy with dispatching and monitoring its air and ground ambulance operations on a 24/7 basis. The center staffs two communication specialists — as well as a supervisor and manager during peak times — who are responsible for the intake of emergency or transfer requests from either a 911 center or a facility that is looking to transfer a patient.
Dispatchers have real-time visibility of the 429s thanks to the satellite GPS automatic vehicle locator tracking installed on each aircraft, which is done through SkyTrac.
For additional surveillance, the organization’s bases and the hospital helipads it transports to frequently are constantly monitored by cameras. With an eye on the helipads, Mercy Flight’s communication specialists have the ability to coordinate some landings, either for the organization’s own aircraft or for aircraft from other communities.
“We’re also monitoring a lot of the fire departments and the 911 centers throughout our community,” said Rob Woodford, communication center manager. “And because of that, a lot of times [we have] knowledge of an emergency call as it’s being dispatched to the fire service, and we’re getting ourselves positioned, looking up the location of the incident, and briefing the crew long before the incident commander or fire chief requests for the helicopter to respond.”
Before Mercy Flight’s 429s leave on a call, the aircraft must be staffed with a pilot, a flight nurse, and a flight paramedic. Upon arrival for each shift, the trio will do an inspection of the aircraft and every piece of equipment to ensure everything is clean, intact, and running properly. A walk-around of the aircraft will also be done by each of the three crewmembers before getting in and lifting off.
Chief flight nurse Crotty said the 429 has made the work in the back of the aircraft a lot smoother — quite literally. “I don’t really ever feel any vibrations,” she said. “And I do give my patients a heads up about that to make them feel a little bit more comfortable.” The 429 also boasts a large cabin, with one rear-facing seat and two front-facing seats that allow for better coordination.
“In the aircraft we are constantly communicating,” said Crotty. “Even prior to a flight . . . if there’s any question on whether or not we should take the flight regarding weather [or] things that are going on in the area . . . we will make a decision together.”
Flying in western New York near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario brings on all types of weather conditions, ranging from lake-effect snow storms to convective activity to severe thunderstorms. “The pilots certainly have to be on their toes to make sure they can get from point A to point B,” said Boies.
While the organization is currently flying under visual flight rules, it is very close to implementing single-pilot instrument flight rules, which will reduce the number of times that flights have to be turned down due to weather.
Being a 24-hour operation, all four of Mercy Flight’s bases are night vision goggle (NVG) qualified and current. The organization now offers NVG training in-house, but initially had Aviation Specialties Unlimited provide the training to pilots and crew.
In addition to the enhanced safety that comes with wearing NVGs, Mercy Flight also boasts a range of critical care and advanced medical capabilities thanks to the crew’s experience and training — both of which are complemented by the range and speed of the Bell 429.
To earn a spot on Mercy Flight’s air medical team, flight crews must have their critical care certificate and/or their flight paramedic certificate.
“Once they are approved, they’ll go through . . . what we call our flight boot camp program,” said Denise Cuillo, director of education and paramedic at Mercy Flight. “They’ll go through orientation and they’ll do some flight training. They do additional classwork and . . . finally a simulation test to see if they’re ready to fly.”
Flight nurses and flight paramedics on the Mercy Flight team also constantly keep up with education and skills during down time, Cuillo added.
All about the care
A non-profit organization since its inception, Mercy Flight has always aimed to keep the cost burden on the community as low as possible, while still maintaining sustainability as a business. Being a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the program is able to raise donations to supplement its budget.
“Western New York has just been the best place in the world to do that,” said Scott Wooton, vice president of finance. “I think the people here are incredibly generous and really understanding of our mission and what we’re trying to do.”
Through its charity care program, Mercy Flight works with patients who are uninsured, under-insured, or going through financial hardship to reduce or forgive some of the costs of receiving air medical care.
“It was never about money,” said Walsh. “It was always about care — offering care that was badly needed. And you didn’t ask the people how much money they had or if they have insurance. That’s why we could be not-for-profit. . . . If [a patient] has no money, [or] if they’re rich, it doesn’t make any difference. If the need is there, we’re going to take care of it.”
Mercy Flight is able to raise upwards of US$700,000 per year through fundraising efforts, said Wooton; for every dollar that is brought in through donations, 90 cents are put back into the program, and the other 10 percent goes to administration and fundraising itself.
Acquiring four $7 million aircraft has been a challenge for the organization, but it has been fortunate enough to get the aircraft under 20-year loans.
“I never worried about where the money was going to come from, or if it would come,” said Walsh. “I was more concerned with the service that was needed, and I knew that God was going to take care of it. And all these years, He has.”
At Mercy Flight, it has always, and will always continue to be about the patients and the care, first and foremost. These are the standards that Walsh has instilled in the team through the years. And with that said, the people of western New York can know that in times of need, they are in good hands. | aerospace | 1 |

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) is the branch of the Nigerian Armed Forces responsible for military air operations. However, if you have been looking for Nigerian Air Force ranks and salary this 2024, We will provide you with all the information you require.
The Nigerian Air Force is without a doubt one of Africa’s most powerful armed forces. With over 10,000 able-bodied officers, an increasing number of young people are looking to start a career in the Nigerian Air Force.
The Nigerian Air Force was established on April 18, 1964, following the passage of the Air Force Act of 1964 by the National Assembly, which stated that the armed forces tasked with defending the nation are most importantly tasked with air operations.
Hierarchy exists in every aspect of our daily lives, so you can never be without a hierarchical mentality. That is why we have a secret society; everyone belongs to a specific class. Did you know that the Nigerian Air Force has its own hierarchical ranking?
This article will provide you with a complete hierarchy of the Nigerian Air Force plus their salary. Take your time reading.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE NIGERIAN AIR FORCE OPERATION.
The Nigerian Air Force was established in the year 1964 with the passage of the Air Force Act 1964 by the Nigerian National Assembly, and it was given the following mandates:
- Fully equip the Nigerian Armed Forces’ military defense system, both in the air and on the ground.
- To ensure that armed forces personnel can move quickly when needed.
- Close support for land and sea military operations at all stages, as well as ensuring the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s territorial integrity.
- To provide Nigeria with the prestige of a self-sufficient air force, which is extremely important in international relations.
OBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN AIRFORCE
The Nigerian Parliament has mandated the following goals and objectives for the formed Nigerian Air Force:
- Ensure the prompt and multilateral deployment of armed forces as required.
- To complete the military defense system of the country.
- Assistance to the Nigerian Army and Navy at all stages of their operations.
- Play an important role in preserving the country’s unity.
- To improve the country’s image and prestige, which is important in international affairs.
- The Chief of Air Staff advises the President on defense issues pertaining to air operations. He also collaborated with the Defense Minister and the Chief of Staff.
The structure is similar to that of the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom. This was to be expected, given that Nigeria was a British colony until its independence on October 1, 1960.
The Nigerian Air Force is prepared to carry out its mission as a tactical air force:
- Aerospace Defense
- Air Travel
- Anti-flight operations
- Close air support
- Naval Operations
- Water Reece
PURPOSE OF THE NIGERIAN AIRFORCE
The Nigerian Air Force has a number of functions enshrined in its constitution as a military organization. These functions are as follows:
- For the provision of special forces and their training.
- Provision and supply of air mobility power
- Troops will be deployed to protect Nigerian airspace.

Established in February 2009 at NAS Jacksonville, Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70 is the first east coast squadron to fly the MH-60R Seahawk - commonly known as the "Romeo" variant.
Now, they're celebrating their first Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic Battle Efficiency (Battle "E") award for the HSM category.
HSM-70 "Spartans" Commanding Officer Cmdr. Christopher Herr congratulated his squadron. "Winning this Battle "E" is special because in 2011 we just missed it by a hair.
For 2012, even though we were deployed for a relatively short time with Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 8 and USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) Carrier Strike Group - our subsequent shore-based operations schedule was packed with detachments, including:
• Two carrier qualifications dets for Navy training squadrons.
• Two trips to Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center for anti-submarine training.
• Supporting the Summit of the Americas aboard USS Gettysburg (CG 64).
• Sending a two-plane detachment to support the Naval Undersea Warfare Center's lightweight Mk 54 torpedo testing near Cape Cod, Mass."
Herr added, "I'm particularly proud of our performance after our homecoming from Bush. Typically, you enter the maintenance phase and drop off a lot of aircraft for rework - which limits aircraft availability and flight hours. But, our people did a great job with the resources at hand - and despite a large turnover of personnel, they supported our schedule of weapons delivery and tactical training that will help springboard us into our next deployment cycle."
Herr said, "Basically, our squadron is in the business of shielding a carrier strike group by dropping torpedoes and shooting missiles.
"We're not thinking about the Battle "E" in our everyday work. For pilots and aircrew, it's mostly doing your job by the book. It also takes maintainers, ordnancemen and support personnel who work tirelessly to ensure our Romeos are up and available at all times.
"When we deploy the full squadron (11 aircraft), we'll have three Romeos on the carrier and four two-plane detachments on the carrier strike group's supporting ships."
Currently, under CR/sequestration, the Spartans' upcoming deployment has shifted - so they're planning for their next six-month workup cycle to begin sometime this summer.
"With this schedule shift, we get some time to catch our breath, reevaluate our training objectives, and make sure our Romeos are flying with the latest software upgrade.
"We're fortunate that our air wing (CVW-8) was not one of the four recently grounded by Navy Secretary Ray Mabus. That means we've got the funding, people and parts to complete our missions," concluded Herr. | aerospace | 1 |

Wright-Patt center awards $12M life-support system contract
The U.S. Air Force will spend an extra $12 million with Lockheed Martin Corp. for work on the F-22 life support system.
On Wednesday, the Department of Defense announced the contract for additional work on the automatic backup oxygen supply in the aircraft. It was issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton.
The work — to be done in Fort Worth, Texas — includes retrofit kits, trainer kits, support equipment and spares.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is one of five centers reporting to the Air Force Materiel Command. The organization is the single center responsible for total life cycle management covering all aircraft, engines, munitions, and electronic systems. It manages more than 400 Air Force, joint Department of Defense and international aircraft acquisition programs.
To do that, it executes an annual budget of more than $19 billion and employs a workforce of more than 26,000 airmen, civilian, and contractors across some 75 locations worldwide.

SpaceX has gained acclaim for its success at recovering the expensive rockets for re-use in future missions. According to the company, such an attempt wasn’t planned for Monday’s flight “due to mission requirements.”
The Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Inmarsat-5 F4 satellite took off around 4:20 p.m. California time. According to SpaceX, the satellite is the fourth in the “Global Xpress constellation,” and will improve the reliability of Inmarsat’s GX global communications network.
The satellite, weighing an estimated 13,000 pounds, is believed to be the heaviest ever lifted into orbit by one of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rockets.

Unlike other articles out there, I only chose high quality brushless drones with 2 or 3 axis gimbal stabilization, so the footage and quality is much better compared to normal toy drones!
This article will contain a very detail table comparison and ranking of the best drones in this price category as well as what to look for when choosing one.
If you're in a hurry chose one of the 3 presented down below, and prioritise the first one, as it's the best camera drone in this price range.
Buying a drone under $200 means you'll have some limitations, but if you follow the main guidelines below you'll be able to cover the most important specs in a camera of this price.
Here are the most important things to look for in a drone under $200:

Keep in mind that you shouldn't expect high level camera drones like some of the newer DJI models. If you think you can expand your budget a bit, I recommend you check out my top drones under $500 list, or my latest comparison between the Mavic Mini, Mavic Air and Fimi X8 ( all great camera drones).
If you want to get stable camera footage, good quality video and no shaking or jello it can be quite hard to figure out with one of these drones under $200 have the best camera, as the differences can be immense. Fortunately, I made a detailed comparison between the footage of all and reached a conclusion.
The best camera drone under $200 is the KF 101, which comes with a 3 axis gimbal, GPS and a 30 minute battery life. The footage is considerably sharper and better stabilized than most others.
Battery life is important for getting enough time to film as long as you want or explore without fear, and fortunately drones under $200 have improved a lot in this area.
The longest battery life drone under $200 is the JJRC X17, which can fly for 30 minutes in perfect conditions and 25 minutes in normal conditions. It comes wit a 11.1V 2850mAh battery and efficient brushless motors.
The KF 101 is also a drone with a long lasting flight, but the JJRC X17 has the edge as the battery is a bit larger.
Most drones under $200 have similar ranges, around 1km usually, as they use the same 5g wifi technology, however there is an exception on this list that makes it to the top.
The Longest Range Drone under $200 is the Eachine Ex4 Pro which can fly for up to 3 km away and return back to home in case of lost signal. Buying the pro version gives you 3 km compared to the 1 km of the standard version.
If you want, there are also lots of ways to improve your drone's range with a minimum investment on your part.
If Photos are your main concern, then you should know that these drones also differ a lot, yet there's one that made quite a huge difference in my opinion.
The best photography drone under $200 is the SG906 Pro 2, using a 4k camera and taking very sharp photos which are even better than the footage it can take.
These are my top drones under $200 ranked in a list that's easy to understand and with more details about each one of them.
All these quadcopters are super high quality and you can’t really go wrong. It’s up to you to decide!
The KF 101 takes the spot for the best camera drone $200 can buy and it comes with a range of amazing features like Brushless motors, stable flight thanks to the GPS and optical sensors and a 30 minute battery life.
The battery life is in fact more closer to 25 minutes in real life (as all manufacturers mention the flight time in perfect scenarios).
Another way this drone stands out is the controller, which is quite well made, comes with an LCD screen that shows distance, height, range and how much battery is left.
The app is also one of the better out there, very similar to DJI ones and it doesn't feel cheap at all.
One of the most popular drones in this price category, and for a good reason, the SG906 Beast has a stunning camera, especially good for photography and a 3 axis gimbal for stabilizing the footage.
While there are some jello effects in the video, it's nothing that can impede a lot with the footage quality.
It is more stable in the air compared to similarly priced drones because it has 2 sattelite systems, including GPS and GLONASS, the Russian system.
The drone also comes with a follow me option that works pretty well and a headless mode, which is especially useful for beginners.
The Eachine Ex4 Pro is the newer version with improved range and is probably one of the best camera drones you can buy for this price. The only drawback I see is that you can't really find it on sites like Amazon, but you can usually find it on aliexpress.
It's a tiny and lightweight drone with a 3 axis gimbal that comes with quite a spectacular battery life and usability.
The JJRC X17 is a very solid drone made for long time flights and it certainly doesn't dissapoint in terms of camera quality.
It comes with regular flight modes like orbit mode, waypoints and even follow me and is just as good as any on this list in terms of flight. It's easy to use and that's why I highly recommend it.
If you're looking for a drone that can stop when it encounters obstacles in front, the Kaione comes with obstacle detecting sensors that are optional when you buy it.
Otherwise it's a great 3 axis stabilized gimbal drone under $200 and comes with the regular GPS, return to home and even higher resolution than the others on this list, 4k for video and 8k for photos. But don't let that get to you, other things are more important.
Another drone that made it on the top of my list, this time with the advantage of being lightweight. This can help with transportation a lot and even though it has a 2 axis gimbal, the footage is pretty decent for the price still.
The MJX Bugs 19 is a sold drone and one of the few drones udner $200 and under 250 grams, which makes it great if you don't want to register it.
The camera is not that bad, but it doesn't come with a stabilizing gimbal so the footage is shaky in wind.
One of the most popular drones from my list which you can buy on amazon, the SG 907 is one of the cheaper ones if your budget is really tight, yet offers some of the best features you can find in the other quadcopters too, like GPS, return to home and a 3 axis gimbal.
Let's see some more speciffic details about the best drones under $200 and how to choose a drone in general.
Having a drone under 250 grams is easier to carry and doesn't require registration, but is there such a drone under $200?
The best drone under 250 grams and under $200 is the MJX Bugs 19 that comes in a foldable format, with brushless motors and no gimbal.
Obstacle avoidance is a feature of more expensive drones, yet even so I found one that has a similar option even at this price range.
The Kaione Pro Max is the best drone with obstacle avoidance under $200 and it comes with an obstacle sensor mounted on top which can make the drone stop before hitting an object.
Checking a drone’s battery life will help you make calculated decisions when and where to operate it. The least thing you’d want is to see your drone crashing in the sea because you were not aware how long its battery could last.
Luckily, most drones show a live battery indicator and also come with the option to return to home on low battery or loss of signal (at least that's the case with the drones I recommend in this article).
Another thing you should consider is the drone’s range, as it depends on what you plan to do with the drone.
I have also compiled my ultimate list with long range drones, if you want to focus more on this specific trait.
The range of a drone can greatly vary depending on the wifi interference, whether you bought it from Europe (CE mode has lower range usually) or USA(typically the best range).
The return to home feature usually comes with any GPS drone (which all on this list are).
It's helpful in many situations, however, the most prevalent ones are:
The "home" point is nothing else but the spot where you first launched your drone from.
I also made a list with my favorite Return To Home Drones, and they are sorted by price, so you can pick the best one for your budget.
Most drones that come with GPS will not only hover steadily in the air, but also have the RTH option and usually a few flight modes too, like circle around, waypoints and so on.
Proper image stabilization in a camera drone is probably the most important factor you should look for, if you want to take great photos and videos that are not shaky.
I had to update this article for 2020 as some new drones have been released, that strangely enough actually come with 3 axis gimbals at prices as low as this.
You'll find all of them on this list.

An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air. The aircraft brake system pdf activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation.
Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot, but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Each of the two World Wars led to great technical advances. Pioneers of flight, from the earliest experiments to 1914. First World War, 1914 to 1918.
Aviation between the World Wars, 1918 to 1939. Second World War, 1939 to 1945. Postwar era, also called the jet age, 1945 to the present day. Aerostats use buoyancy to float in the air in much the same way that ships float on the water. A powered, steerable aerostat is called a dirigible.
Non-rigid dirigibles are characterized by a moderately aerodynamic gasbag with stabilizing fins at the back. This dynamic movement through the air is the origin of the term aerodyne. Aerodynamic lift involving wings is the most common, with fixed-wing aircraft being kept in the air by the forward movement of wings, and rotorcraft by spinning wing-shaped rotors sometimes called rotary wings. A wing is a flat, horizontal surface, usually shaped in cross-section as an aerofoil.
With powered lift, the aircraft directs its engine thrust vertically downward. Rocket-powered missiles that obtain aerodynamic lift at very high speed due to airflow over their bodies are a marginal case. The forerunner of the fixed-wing aircraft is the kite. Whereas a fixed-wing aircraft relies on its forward speed to create airflow over the wings, a kite is tethered to the ground and relies on the wind blowing over its wings to provide lift. The first heavier-than-air craft capable of controlled free-flight were gliders. A glider designed by George Cayley carried out the first true manned, controlled flight in 1853. Besides the method of propulsion, fixed-wing aircraft are in general characterized by their wing configuration.
Braced or cantilever, rigid, or flexible. Location of the horizontal stabilizer, if any. A variable geometry aircraft can change its wing configuration during flight. A flying wing has no fuselage, though it may have small blisters or pods. The opposite of this is a lifting body, which has no wings, though it may have small stabilizing and control surfaces. Wing-in-ground-effect vehicles are not considered aircraft. | aerospace | 1 |

09 January, 2013
KARACHI: A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) aircraft escaped a disaster as suspected Taliban attacked Kandahar airport in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, PIA spokesperson said.
According to the spokesperson, the airport came under attack with missiles while its PIA fight pk-199 was preparing to take off from the Kandahar to Quetta on Tuesday afternoon.
"The flight PK-199, with 42 passengers on board, was ready to depart for Quetta when eight to 10 rockets were fired from multiple sides at the airport", PIA spokesperson said in a statement adding that the aircraft, crew and passengers on board remained safe in the attack.
The plane was grounded temporarily as the airfield was shut down following the attack. However, officials confirmed that the field was subsequently cleared for operation and that the PIA flight departed shortly. | aerospace | 1 |

It was an ungainly and unorthodox biplane design with a single large pontoon mounted below the lower wing. This pontoon extended rearwards and carried the conventional empennage. On top of the lower wing, where the fuselage would normally be located, was a stubby nacelle containing the tractor-mounted engine and the pilot's cockpit. The rear of this nacelle was semi-enclosed with glazing and incorporated a position for a tail gunner. The main units of the wheeled undercarriage retracted into the sides of the central pontoon.

Development quickly ended when trials revealed that the aircraft was incapable of reaching the speeds required by the Navy, and only a single prototype was ever built.

Elon Musk is already working on concepts like the high-speed hyperloop train and city-to-city rocket travel, while NASA’s scramjet aircraft have been able to reach Mach 10 for well over a decade. As such projects move forward, new materials that are strong and heat resistant enough to handle that speed will be needed — materials with capabilities that go beyond carbon fiber, beyond even carbon nanotubes.
In the quest to test out candidates for that new material, researchers at Binghamton University are studying what are known as boron nitride nanotubes or BNNTs for short, alongside NASA scientists, of course.
“NASA currently owns one of the few facilities in the world able to produce quality BNNTs,” says associate professor of mechanical engineering Changhong Ke in a press release. “Typically, carbon nanotubes have been used in planes for their strength —they’re stronger than steel— and their ability to conduct heat. However, BNNTs are the wave of the future when it comes to air travel.”
Funded in part by the U.S. Air Force, the study tests the material’s ability to withstand the kind of heat generated in the atmosphere. With scientists and engineers turning their attention to aircraft that could travel at hypersonic speeds — between five and 10 times the speed of sound — the strength and heat-resistance of a machine is absolutely essential.
“We weren’t testing this material in a vacuum, like what you would experience in space. Materials can withstand much higher temperatures in space,” Ke says. “We wanted to see if BNNTs could hold up in the type of environment an average fighter jet or commercial plane would experience.”
Carbon nanotubes, which are currently one of the highest-tech materials in use in high-speed vehicles, can stay stable up to 400 degrees Celsius. This is pretty impressive, but the researchers discovered that BNNTs can do more than twice that.
“Our study found that BNNTs can withstand up to 900 degrees Celsius,” says Ke. “BNNTs are also able to handle high amounts of stress and are extremely lightweight.”
So how soon will this material be used on an actual airplane?
“Right now, BNNTs cost about $1,000 per gram. It would be impractical to use a product that expensive,” says Ke.
The researchers don’t expect things to stay that way. Carbon nanotubes were just as expensive a couple decades ago and now come in at about $10 to $20 a gram. Ke says BNNTs will likely follow suit. And since fighter jets don’t exactly have small budgets, the researchers expect that they will be some of the first aircraft to make use of the material.
But, research has shown that time spent traveling can take a severe psychological toll on people who have to do it often. Accordingly, high-flying business people are likely to be willing to pay a premium to get from A to B faster. And as billionaire innovators Elon Musk and Richard Branson announced yesterday that they are teaming up on the hyperloop project — now named Virgin Hyperloop One — it is increasingly clear that the private sector will also be seeking new materials to get things moving faster closer to earth.
Out in space, past even such exotic uses as fighter jets, NASA is looking at even greater obstacles that BNNTs can help them overcome. One example being the mission to Mars. According to Sheila Thibeault, a materials researcher at NASA, BNNTs could be an ideal material for the spacecraft and suits used in the voyage to another planet.
“This material is really strong—even at high heat—meaning that it’s great for structure,” says Thibeault in an article on the space agency’s website, which explains a version of BNNT augmented with hydrogen could shield against dangerous radiation.
For the everyday person though, it’s hard to say exactly where they will first encounter this material of the future. For his part, Ke says he can see the technology making its way to commercial flights in years to come.

Yes it is dark on the photo: that's because the flight started from Glasgow Airport and at night, when no other air traffic is expected. Well done to the team!
THE DRONE OFFICE is a consortium member of Project CAELUS. The consortium is led by AGS Airports. In partnership with NHS Scotland, the project has taken a step forward by conducting live flight trials in bid to deliver the UK’s first national medical distribution network using drones.
Live flying took place between Glasgow Airport and NHS Golden Jubilee in Clydebank earlier this month.
CAELUS (Care & Equity – Healthcare Logistics UAS Scotland), is part funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Future Flight Challenge.
It brings together 16 partners including the University of Strathclyde, Skyports Drone Services, NATS, NHS Scotland, and THE DRONE OFFICE,. Together they are working to deliver what will be the first national drone network that can transport essential medicines, bloods and other medical supplies throughout Scotland including to remote communities.
Since January 2020, the CAELUS consortium has designed drone landing stations for NHS sites across Scotland and developed a virtual model (digital twin) of the proposed delivery network which connects hospitals, pathology laboratories, distribution centres and GP surgeries across Scotland.
Live flight trials were operated by CAELUS consortium member Skyports Drone Services. The UK-based operator is an experienced provider of drone delivery, survey and monitoring services. The company has a long history of operating medical drone deliveries, including the first drone deliveries with the NHS.
Fiona Smith, AGS Airports Group Head of Aerodrome Strategy and CAELUS Project Director, said: “These flight trials are an important step towards the integration of drones into modern airspace and enabling the safe use of drones at scale within Scotland’s airspace. The input from all partners has resulted in a high quality safety case for the flights undertaken in a busy airport environment which can be transposed for other sites in future”
“It has only been possible because of the hard work of every consortium member.
“The CAELUS project is set to revolutionise the way in which healthcare services are delivered in Scotland. A drones network can ensure critical medical supplies can be delivered more efficiently, it can reduce waiting times for test results and, more importantly, it can provide equity of care between urban and remote rural communities.
“We are delighted to have conducted this live flight trial and look forward to carrying out more in the coming months.”
The CAELUS consortium comprises:
AGS Airports Limited
ANRA Technologies UK
Connected Places Catapult
Skyports Drone Services
The Drone Office
University of Strathclyde
Karen Bell, Joint Innovation Lead for CAELUS for NHS explained: "We are delighted to have had a successful flight trial here in the West Coast of Scotland. Years of preparation with all of our partners have taken us to this point.
“We are well positioned to participate in this drone trial because of our vast geographical area of island and remote populations. This work has the potential to greatly improve our services closer to home. Now we can take the time to reflect on this experience and instil the improvements required." | aerospace | 1 |

Fig 1. The Kaarta team scanning the hanger and plane.
In service for more than a half a century, the legendary C-130 Hercules lives up to its name — capable of airdropping 42,000-pound (19,000 kg) loads and transporting oversized cargo ranging from utility helicopters and Humvees to standard palletized cargo. Kaarta was tasked with creating an accurate 3D model of the aircraft’s exterior, which would be used to assess the feasibility of implementing an autonomous de-painting system for routine maintenance. Despite the size and complexity of the surface area, Kaarta sought to produce an accurate and actionable 3D model in a fraction of the time required by traditional terrestrial survey methods using lidar.
Fig 2. Underside view of the C-130 Hercules
The operator began the process by simply walking around the aircraft while holding Kaarta Stencil handheld 3D scanner. Scans were also captured from above the aircraft by using a standard boom-lift. During this virtually effortless 30-minute “tour,” Stencil collected, processed and converted the spatial data into a 3D model in real time. This feat is made possible by Kaarta Engine, the proprietary software intelligence that allows Stencil to identify its location and surroundings. Unlike conventional modeling techniques, it requires no use of prior maps, GPS or other infrastructure.
Fig 3. Overlay of position data from scan shows how closely Kaarta real-time mobile scan matched precise survey data
Before Kaarta, producing a comparable model using tripod-mounted terrestrial lidar would have required many scans and many hours to capture the full surface of the aircraft. This is because stationary systems would require many views to capture all of the complex geometric surfaces of the aircraft especially near the engines and propellers. Furthermore, because Kaarta reveals the model on the go, users have real-time assurance that no surface is missed. This dramatically simplifies the process from start to finish, leaving the heavy lifting to Hercules. | aerospace | 1 |

The captain saw something over 1,000 feet above his aircraft, which was at an altitude of 35,000 feet, and he made a video which was circulating on social media, said a PIA spokesman.
Passengers on a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight from Islamabad to Sukkur were shocked when the door of the aircraft opened during landing.
Etihad Airways and Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) have relaunched their codeshare partnership to provide their customers with greater access to both airlines’ trunk routes between the UAE and Pakistan, and on Etihad services across its global network.
"We have been informed deserving community members through phone to book their tickets for upcoming special flights of PIA and the tickets have been issuing through special counters set up at the Terminal 2, Dubai International Airport,” he said.
As many as 1,600 community members have been repatriated through seven special flights by the national carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) while two more flights are ready to take approximately 400-plus expatriates on Apr.28 to Karachi and Multan.
Expats planning to avail the special repatriation flights to Pakistan has expressed their concern on a number of issues like inadequate arrangements to acquire tickets, costly prices and non-refundable tickets in case of any mishap.
Compounding the despair, five or six houses were also destroyed in the crash of the domestic flight operated by Pakistan International Airlines, after what appeared to be an engine failure during landing.
The crash site was so congested that the rescue workers had to break portion of a wall to reach the crashed plane. Authorities suspended power as overhead electricity wires and a power grid were creating hurdles in the movement of rescue cranes. | aerospace | 1 |

The week of June 19 (and on the 87th anniversary of the day America’s aviatrix became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in flight) two young grads from LeTourneau University–one of the nation’s top aviation schools–compete in the all-female Air Race Classic.
June 22 through 25, in the 39th annual “Air Race Classic” (Fredericksburg, Va. to Fairhope, Ala.), Jovita Perez-Segovia and Rebecca Davidson will fly 2,400 miles–continuing the all-female race tradition founded in 1929 by Earhart and 19 other pilots. The Air Race Classic’s forerunner, The First Women’s Air Derby, originally flew from Santa Monica, California to Cleveland, Ohio. Now the Indy 500 of women’s air racing, the Air Race Classic draws pilots ages 17 to 90. From wide and varied backgrounds, and in teams of two or more, they fly “VFR” (virtual routing and forwarding), daylight only, with four days to score a flyby at each enroute timing point. Each plane travels in race form to determine its handicap speed; each team wants actual ground speeds as far as possible over the handicap speed.
“The FAA says 6 percent of pilots are women, and we aim to improve that,” Fred Ritchey, dean of LETU’s School of Aeronautical Sciences said. “Young pilots like Jovita and Rebecca–women with vision and purpose–inspire more young women to believe for themselves that the sky’s the limit.” (Or as Perez-Segovia says, “The sky is not the limit. The sky is home.”)
In the way their hero lifted notions of “girls’ work,” Jovita and Rebecca want to end limitations for other young women. In the air and in life, Davidson says, “nothing is out of reach.” | aerospace | 1 |

Flight to be Rescheduled Anon
Ariane's official website noted, just a couple
hours before the 160th flight was to have blasted off last night
[Tuesday]: "Tonight's liftoff of Arianespace Flight 160 was delayed
after one of the mission's two clients requested additional
verifications on its satellite payload.
"The Ariane 5G launcher and its dual payload are in a safe mode
on the launch pad.
"Additional information on the mission's rescheduling will be
provided during the morning hours of April 9 (Kourou time).
"Arianespace was notified of the client's need for additional
satellite verifications prior to the startup of fueling activity
with the Ariane 5's cryogenic core stage. As a result, the
countdown activity was stopped before any of the stage's liquid
oxygen/liquid hydrogen propellant had been loaded."
Flight 160 will carry the 2,950-kg. INSAT 3A satellite, produced
by the Indian Space Research Organisation, and GALAXY XII - a 1,760
kg.-payload built by Orbital Sciences Corporation for PanAmSat.

Its airplane factories were humming and speeding up production. Its defense business had just been restructured to deal with dwindling budgets in the United States and Europe. The company was confident enough to increase its dividend and resume buying back shares.
Perhaps best of all, Boeing was shortly to reclaim the title of world’s biggest plane maker, snatching back an honor that its arch rival Airbus had held for a decade.
But with its new 787 Dreamliner still grounded by two battery failures on the eve of its 2012 earnings release, the Chicago-based aerospace and defense giant is in no position to rest on laurels.
Analysts and investors are likely to grill Chief Executive Jim McNerney about the costs of fixing the 787 when the company reports earnings on Wednesday.
Those costs are unknown but mounting daily as airlines are barred from using the high-tech plane. Boeing is still building five Dreamliners a month but isn’t delivering them to customers. With each of them carrying a list price of $207 million, they quickly become an expensive pile of jets outside Boeing’s factories in Everett, Washington and North Charleston, South Carolina.
That is why Wall Street is looking for guidance from McNerney about how painful the grounding is getting. | aerospace | 1 |

The excitement surrounding this technology comes as no shock to us; our industry has introduced a new category of vehicle to the skies, and integrating them into existing air traffic has been a predominant challenge for aviation regulators around the globe. However, as UAV technology becomes safer and more reliable, regulators become more inclined to integrate them into the flow of traffic.
If you’ve ever flown to or from a main hub in the United States, you’ve likely noticed the sheer number of people being processed through these airports. This high volume of air traffic creates a challenging environment for the safe introduction of a new category of aerial vehicles.
The good news for the UAV industry is that we live on a pretty large globe, and not all air spaces are quite as crowded as those in the United States. Insitu Pacific, part of the Insitu family, is based out of Australia, a country with a great deal of open airspace and minimal traffic flying through it. With any variety of airspace comes the need for regulation, which brings me to discuss the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), Australia’s aviation regulator and a fundamental leader in the safe and gradual integration of UAVs into airspace.
CASA has remained exceptionally open-minded toward allowing UAV access to Australia’s airspace. As a regulatory agency, they’ve come a long way in a relatively short period of time and they’ve done it without compromising the safety of their skies. Insitu Pacific’s commitment to aviation safety has helped us develop a strong professional relationship with CASA over the years and this collaboration has empowered us to expand into new markets and explore opportunities for commercial and civil applications of our systems.
CASA’s progressive yet authoritative stance has additionally motivated us to create some of the safest and most reliable systems in the industry, for the benefit of our aviation community as well as for the success of our customers’ missions. When it comes to our safety standard, we treat our UAVs as if they are manned aircraft, which has really helped us go above and beyond CASA’s requirements and has been paramount in earning the agency’s trust.
The immense amount of progress made by CASA over the last few years can be broken down into a long path of gradual steps. Our ability to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), in Class C airspace and at night has been achieved through a series of well-considered and regulated trials over a number of years with strong CASA oversight. We have gradually moved from BVLOS day flights in remote locations to day flying in Class C airspace and eventually night flying BVLOS under Class C for wild fire monitoring.
We continually employ robust operational procedures, advanced airspace awareness tools, exhaustive training programs and sound risk assessments to prove our exceptional reliability and air worthiness to CASA and furthermore, to our customers.
As more UAV companies emerge in the industry, we’ve noticed some incongruities in how each business prioritizes the safety and legality of their operations. You’ll see a few businesses like us; we act like an aviation company, we understand aviation standards and we operate professionally. However, you’ll also come across a number of UAV companies that lack a general understanding of the risks associated with UAV operation in mixed-use airspaces. Denying airspace access to unsafe or illegal UAV companies, while still permitting the safe and legal companies to earn airspace access, is a crucial balance for regulators like CASA to achieve, in order for our industry to flourish.
We are proud to work closely with CASA as they enable us and other responsible UAV providers to fly in Australian airspace. It’s exciting to pave the way and set high standards for others in our industry, and actively help to define the path forward with CASA, a global leader in aviation safety. | aerospace | 1 |

Superman those days did not have competition but he soon will! As much as we super hero fans would hate for that to happen, The Man of steel is in queue to be beaten fair and square.
The first of two commercial Jets to break the sound barrier, also broke hearts of aero enthusiasts around the world when it became limited to museums- The ban of the Concorde. Now commercial flight manufacturing giant- Airbus has come to the rescue with a patent called the Concorde 2, the son of the mighty Concorde who thundered the open skies till 2003. Although the complex flight can carry only 20 on board or 2 to 3 tonnes of cargo, which is very less compared to capacity of 120 of the Concorde, the Concorde 2 is said to be twice as fast as Concorde ; it could take a little over 3600 seconds for you to travel from London to New York. Now will this son make the mighty Concorde proud?
The speed of an airplane is denoted by a non-dimensional number called a Mach number. It is the ratio of the speed of the vehicle to the speed of sound at that altitude. Quite simple. The speed regimes are classified based on the Mach number. Subsonic category falls within Mach 1 and Transonic is in the range of 0.8 to 1.3. Above 1 till 5 we call it Supersonic and above 5 its Hypersonic. The Concorde 2 is set to fly at Mach 4 thus in the supersonic regime. Just for a comparison, the average transcontinental flight you take goes at Mach 0.83. Doesn’t sound fast does it?
So what exactly does happen in the supersonic regime? Well for a start, you will be travelling first and the sound produced will be 4 times slower and the so called shock wave will be behind us. When an air molecule is encountered with such a huge aircraft at such high velocities it just doesn’t know what to do and it forms a shock wave, leading to huge increase of pressure and temperature. The Concorde 2’s aerodynamic design is such that it will avoid all such adversaries and still fly.
The peculiar thing would be is that this aircraft would be having a total of 4 engines to power it. During take-off the two turbojet engines that are situated below the body will propel the aircraft and provide necessary thrust. These engines will later retract into the body of the fuselage and the two rocket engines will be ignited. It is during this phase the Concorde is will fly almost vertically to a height of 100,000 ft. above sea level. Dad-The Great Concorde used to fly at 60,000 ft. and the flight you normally take is 30,000 ft. Oh! Almost forgot, you would not be sitting facing the aircraft’s direction. Design Engineers are making sure the 20 in the flight are comfortable during all phases and so the seats will be facing sideways.
The rocket engine will soon die out of propellant and this is when we have our two ramjets to take care of us for the rest of the journey. Airbus has come up with the concept of a high wing delta wing which is not much of in use now. The aerodynamic influence this configuration can give is quite a surprise.
Just before you book yourself a ticket, let me warn you. As of 2003, the to and fro price for Concorde London to New York was GBP 7500 per person. So all the 100-120 on board pay this amount. Concorde 2 has only 20 people and is 2 times faster than the Concorde and could be infinity times faster in burning a hole in your pocket. This tech is likely to be used by the defence but I am sure there are some of us who can afford to fly in it. For those who do, just make sure you give the winning smirk when you overtake Superman.

Few arrive on a chilly December afternoon after a three-hour drive to tour a factory.
But on Wednesday, a handful of visitors did just that, because they know what few Rhode Islanders do — that a low-slung building on South County Trail has a hand in a high-stakes mission — powering manned flight to Mars.
“I like to remind people [that] there are real people going to fly on this vehicle, and they’re going to count on you,” said John H. Casper, a retired Air Force colonel and veteran of four space shuttle flights. “People’s lives depend on it.”
Casper is a special assistant for program integration at NASA. He is part of the NASA team working on the Orion spacecraft project — the agency’s next vehicle capable of human flight.
Casper understands the critical nature of even small parts of a spacecraft. He was deputy leader for debris recovery in the aftermath of the space shuttle Columbia explosion in 2003. All seven crewmembers died in the mishap that blew apart a spacecraft aboard which he had once flown.
The retired astronaut came to Rhode Island with other NASA officials to tour Yardney Technical Products Inc., a maker of high-performance lithium-ion batteries. Yardney’s batteries have powered American military aircraft and NASA spacecraft for decades — dating to the moon mission era.
The batteries have been used on NASA’s recent Mars missions, and they will be installed on the Orion. On Friday, Yardney will ship four of the batteries — each about the size of a case of beer and weighing 104.4 pounds — to the Kennedy Space Center for installation and testing on the Orion.
Orion’s first space flight test is planned for September 2014, Casper said. The first manned mission is expected to take place after 2021.
Yardney took a much shorter trip, moving in January from Pawcatuck, Conn., to 2000 South Country Trail in East Greenwich.
The 69-year-old company, a subsidiary of Ener-Tek International Inc., was recruited to Rhode Island with financing from the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation.
“We had a little radius of where we wanted to move and this is about as far as we wanted to go,” Vincent A. Yevoli Jr., Yardney’s president and chief operating officer.
Yardney employs about 140 people, including a number of engineers, in an efficient new factory that replaced a “hodge-podge” of space in an old mill, he said.
Yevoli and other Yardney executives got a chance Wednesday to show off the battery factory to representatives from a couple of the company’s key customers — Orion manufacturer Lockheed Martin and NASA.
The visitors are touring sites where parts of the Orion are being made and had spent the morning in Manchester, N.H., to watch the craft’s heat shields be carted off for assembly.
“At NASA, we’re doing things right at the edge of human capability,” said Casper, the former astronaut. “It’s hard, it’s complex … it’s inspiring.”
And Yardney batteries help NASA push out that edge as far as its spacecraft can fly.

Google apparently agreed to offer Titan Aerospace more than Facebook for the company, although no amount has been disclosed, Facebook were rumored to be willing to pay $60 million for the company.
We’re thrilled to announce that Titan Aerospace is joining Google.
At Titan Aerospace, we’re passionate believers in the potential for technology (and in particular, atmospheric satellites) to improve people’s lives. It’s still early days for the technology we’re developing, and there are a lot of ways that we think we could help people, whether it’s providing internet connections in remote areas or helping monitor environmental damage like oil spills and deforestation. That’s why we couldn’t be more excited to learn from and work with our new colleagues as we continue our research, testing and design work as part of the Google family.
Under the Google acquisition, Titan Aerospace will continue to operate out of its HQ in New Mexico, and its 20 employees will continue to work at the company.
Google have not yet revealed their plans for the company, although it is expected to be the same as Facebook, the solar drones will be used to provide Internet access.

18 April 2023
Lunar Outpost has partnered with Lockheed Martin to contribute technology and engineering expertise in the development of Lockheed Martin’s Lunar Mobility Vehicle (LMV). This next generation lunar terrain vehicle will give astronauts a front row seat to discoveries as they traverse unexplored regions of the Moon.
The Lockheed Martin-led team will be strengthened by Lunar Outpost’s mission heritage and rapid innovation and prototyping practices in end-to-end rover development and operations expertise. Lunar Outpost will be providing Stargate, a comprehensive mission control software for robotic vehicle teleoperation, data management and payload operations. In addition to leading this key role, Lunar Outpost will be contributing to the vehicle’s onboard navigation, advanced thermal management, lighting and dust mitigation technologies – creating a safe and efficient vehicle for Artemis astronaut exploration.
In 2025, the Artemis program will return U.S. astronauts to the surface of the Moon for the first time since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. The addition of a crewed lunar rover to this mission will extend human mobility further than ever before across harsh lunar terrain.
Astronauts will use the vehicle to conduct critical scientific research and prospect for resources – offering opportunity and insight into fundamental aspects of the solar system. The LMV rover will also be operated autonomously without astronauts on board. Early rover missions will target the Moon’s South Pole, a previously unexplored region thought to have an abundance of water ice and other resources. Uncovering these resources would unlock the ability to build and maintain life support mechanisms for a sustained human presence on the Moon and beyond.
It has been over 50 years since the U.S. last visited the lunar surface, but Lunar Outpost is looking to change that sooner than most think.
“We have secured three missions to the Moon over the next three years and have flight-ready technology to execute those missions and perform numerous tasks including prospecting for resources,” said Justin Cyrus, CEO at Lunar Outpost, “We are excited to support Lockheed Martin’s LMV program with critical rover technologies that will have been demonstrated, tested, and operated multiple times on the lunar surface”.
Lunar Outpost’s three autonomous lunar rover missions include infrastructure, science, and resource prospecting activities - one of which will be the first ever rover to visit the lunar South Pole later this year as well as the first rover to ever collect and sell space resources through a deal with NASA. This mission will also serve as a scouting mission for Artemis astronauts. These missions all occur before the crewed lunar terrain vehicle is expected to be delivered to the surface on the Artemis mission. They bring the opportunity to test LTV software and technology on the lunar surface before deploying it on the human-rated vehicle.
In this consortium, Lunar Outpost joins the likes of General Motors, Goodyear and MDA. Together with Lockheed Martin, the consortium will use their strength in engineering and their innovative technologies to contribute to the expansion of space exploration and research. At the same time, Lunar Outpost is continuously working to apply these technologies as sustainable solutions for the benefit of Earth and humankind. | aerospace | 1 |

However they’re additionally flying machines that may do a number of silly and harmful issues. Like, for example, fly over a significant league baseball sport full of spectators. It occurred at Fenway Park final evening, and the FAA isn’t completely happy.
The unlawful flight befell final evening throughout a Pink Sox-Blue Jays sport at Fenway; the drone, a conspicuously white DJI Phantom, reportedly first confirmed up round 9:30 PM, coming and going over the subsequent hour.
One of many many followers who shot a video of the drone, Chris O’Brien, instructed CBS Boston that “it will form of drop quick then return up then drop and spin. It was getting actually low and near the gamers. At one level it was getting actually low and I used to be questioning are they going to pause the sport and no matter, however they by no means did.
Locations the place flying is frequently prohibited, like airports and main landmarks like stadiums, typically have no-fly guidelines baked into the GPS programs of drones — and that’s the case with DJI. In an announcement, nevertheless, the corporate mentioned that “whoever flew this drone over the stadium apparently overrode our geofencing system and intentionally violated the FAA momentary flight restriction in place over the sport.”
The FAA mentioned that it (and Boston PD) is investigating each to native information and in a tweet explaining why it’s unlawful.
FAA Assertion: The FAA is investigating a report that a #drone flew over @fenwaypark through the baseball sport final evening. Flying drones in/round stadiums is prohibited beginning 1hr earlier than & ending 1hr after the scheduled sport & prohibited inside a radius of three nm of the stadium. pic.twitter.com/o6nOGVf8K2
— The FAA (@FAANews) April 12, 2019
That’s three nautical miles, which is kind of a distance, overlaying a lot of central Boston. You don’t actually take possibilities when there are tens of hundreds of individuals all gathered in a single spot frequently like that. Drones open up some fairly ugly safety situations.
In fact, this wasn’t a mile and a half from Fenway, which could have earned a slap on the wrist, however instantly over the park, which because the FAA notes above may result in tons of of hundreds in fines and precise jail time. It’s not onerous to think about why: If that drone had misplaced energy or caught a gust (or been hit by a fly ball, at that altitude), it may have harm or killed somebody within the crowd.
It’s particularly regarding when the FAA is engaged on establishing new guidelines for each passion and professional drone use. You need to depart a remark there for those who really feel strongly about this, by the way in which.
Right here’s hoping they catch the fool who did this. It simply goes to indicate which you can’t belief folks to observe the foundations, even once they’re coded right into a craft’s OS. It’s issues like this that make obligatory registration of drones sound like a fairly good concept.

The second Japanese space mission could bring back the stardust needed to keep asteroid explorers busy for years. The space probe successfully landed in the Australian desert on Sunday after a six-year mission.
The journey of the Japanese spacecraft “Hayabusa 2” took six years. Now she has successfully completed her mission to the asteroid Ryugu and sent a sample capsule to Earth. The Japanese space agency Jaxa said Sunday (local time) that a helicopter had found a small container in the landing area. It is located 460 km north of the city of Adelaide in the desert of the Vumera test site for aerospace in southern Australia. Researchers expect 4.6 billion – year – old objects in a container from the asteroid Ruge, which originated in the early days of the Solar System.
“That’s great,” said Yuichi Suda, Jaxa’s project manager for the Japanese television station NHK. It was an amazing re-entry. We all moved a lot. The mission is to answer basic questions about the origin of the solar system and where molecules like water come from. Astronomer Lisa Harvey-Smith told Australian broadcaster ABC that the mission had another purpose: “What we are doing here is exploring the real rock that is not exposed to the sun’s radiation.”
Pictures of Re-Entry Capsule Fireball! We posted short videos taken from near the Coober Pedy in Australia as the re-entry capsule passed through the Earth’s atmosphere. Link: https://t.co/wFHcICc7L1
– Hayabusa 2 @ jaxa (@ haya2e_jaxa) December 5, 2020
After recovery, the capsule is first inspected for its condition. Samples transferred to the laboratory at IAAS (Institute of Space and Astronautical Sciences), the Jaxa research center in Sagamihara, near Tokyo, are brought to Japan in a still-closed landing capsule on the plane. Only then can a robot capsule be opened in a clean room laboratory in a vacuum chamber.
First, the individual components of the samples are curated and described before the micro, mineral, and geochemical investigation begins in mid-2021. Scientists hope to trace the origin of the solar system and life on Earth by analyzing samples. Makoto Yoshikawa, head of the mission, said the samples may contain organic matter. The main focus is on amino acids, the basic building blocks of life.
Statistics on the formation of the Solar System
“This is a historic moment for space exploration,” said Anke Kaiser-Pisalla, board chairwoman of the German Aerospace Center, in a DLR press release. Thanks to Jax, they are sure that the analysis of samples from Rug will now start another insightful chapter in international asteroid research.
The Japanese mission is part of a global effort to shed light on the formation of the solar system and life on Earth through the study of asteroids. NASA’s Osiris Rex probe recently visited an asteroid and collected rock samples. Asteroids are considered to be one of the most promising study objects, as they are one of the oldest celestial bodies in the Solar System, along with comets. For example, the age of the asteroid Ryu visited at this time is estimated to be 4.5 billion years.
Jaxa hopes to find in Stardust some biological material that can inject life into Earth through the influence of asteroids since ancient times. Mission Doubtless Head Second Asteroid Expedition 2010 The first Hayabusa mission was to fuel the possibility of bringing back up to 1,500 more of the dust that drank up. “We believe we have collected a lot of material,” he told a news conference recently.
How Japan customized asteroids
As for Yoshikawa, Jaxa continues its success story, which is changing regularly. Experts recall that the first Hayabusa mission was still dramatic. The radio contact broke and some engines failed. The pioneer almost never returned to earth. “But this time there were no major problems,” Yoshikawa said. The astronauts learned a lot from the first mission.
Among other things, it has upgraded weak ion drives, which ionize small xenon gas particles and shoot them out of the engine. They only deliver a very small amount of Ricoh, so they can only run light probes like the 609kg Hayabusa 2, but they still have a long way to go. In addition, guidance and navigation technology improved antennas and attitude control systems.
The smooth ride is already the first great success. In addition, the Hayabusa 2 has built seven premieres in the near-Earth Rugby, including the landing of the Franco-German rover Mascot, multiple accurate landings of the celestial spacecraft, and the collection of samples below the surface.
The Japanese rely on rovers from Bremen
The landing at Coober Pedy in Australia was close not only to Japan, but also to the northern German port city of Bremen. The DLR branch is in charge of project management for the Franco-German landing vehicle, Mascot, which examined the surface of the asteroid with a camera, microscope and radiometer.
“The measurements met our expectations,” said Tra-Mi Ho, a DLR expert who coordinated Mascot’s development as project manager. The microscope did not work, but other devices did. “We were thrilled with the brilliance of the pictures,” she says.
Researchers have now been able to examine the surface to the millimeter limit. In doing so, they confirmed what had previously been suspected. “The surface of the rug is not made of regolith,” she says, the thin dust covering the moon. Instead, the asteroid is porous and contains large chunks of clotted material with bright inclusions. “We are now trying to compare it to meteorites found on Earth,” Ho says.
Hoy has no more time to enjoy himself. This is because DLR is also involved in the next pioneering activity of the Japanese with the new rover. Jaxa is the first space agency to bring back 10 to 100 kilograms of rock from the Mars Phobos to Earth in 2025.
Hayabusa 2 has not yet completed the mission. Following the departure of Stardust from the asteroid Rugo, the probe begins its journey to its next stage, the 1998 KY26, a 40 – meter small, rapidly rotating asteroid.
Mission chief Yoshikawa says there is still enough xenon for the ion drive. But there is a problem: the alien rendezvous is not planned until 2031. “The question is whether the spacecraft will survive for ten years,” says Yoshikawa. “But that’s the challenge.”

The authorization language prohibits “any action to cancel or modify” the program of record (some 150 older model C-130Hs). However, Congress has put the onus back on the Pentagon by including an exception in the bill to allow a proposal for a “alternative communication, navigation, surveillance, and air traffic management program for C-130 aircraft” to replace the AMP effort, as the older Hercs must meet international flight standards by 2020. The Secretary of Defense must certify to Congress any alternative modernization package is necessary to operate older C-130Hs in Federal Aviation Administration-controlled airspace, or airspace controlled by a foreign country that adheres to international air traffic standards, according to the bill’s language. To ensure compliance, Congress is mandating no more than 85 percent of operations and maintenance funds for USAF can be obligated or expended from the 2015 NDAA “until a period of 15 days” after the Secretary of the Air Force certifies USAF has appropriated previous year funding (prior to Fiscal 2015) for the AMP program.
Three B-1B Lancers from the 7th Bomb Wing flew over the Indo-Pacific alongside F-16s from the Japanese Air Self Defense Force recently, as part of a joint large force exercise. The mission began and ended in the continental U.S., as the bombers flew 31 hours and landed Jan. 11. | aerospace | 1 |

Tom Sachs and Van Neistat have rethought traditional on-board guides with their creation for luxury airline VistaJet.
Artist Tom Sachs and filmmaker Van Neistat ( one of the famous Neistat brothers) have reimagined the traditional airplane safety video with a stop-motion slant for the luxury airline VistaJet. Every part of the video has been handcrafted, and the set comes complete with a miniature plane and dolls playing the part of the passengers and flight attendant.
In order to combat the often uninteresting safety guides, Sachs and Neisat created a new kind of flight safety video using stop-motion techniques. The animation, which debuts this month on VistaJet flights, takes passengers through the main safety points they need to know when they travel. | aerospace | 1 |
