Well, 2000 came and went, nothing extraordinary, 2010 came and went, again nothing to write home about. But now I see if I were rich enough I could have a flying car: Will sales of flying car take off?. I really love the folding mechanism, that’s pretty neat.
What I was wonder about these things is who would test fly one? Test drive, no worries, but test fly?
I think I’ll stick to land based transport for now, besides, the world comes to and end this year in the great flood doesn’t it? | aerospace |

However access to the data they’re transmitting isn’t necessarily getting easier. The Deep Space Networkthat NASA uses to talk to its spacecraft and probes isn’t available to your average amateur, and building your own ground station can be expensive. Using your own ground station also means that you have only a limited window to receive data from your satellite as it sweeps across the sky overhead.
Which is where the SatNOGS project comes in, because if you have access to a 3D printer you can now put together your own ground station for between $300 and $400….READ FULL ARTICLE | aerospace |

NEW ZEALAND: Revise Drone Law, Learn From Gatwick Airport Fiasco That Disrupted 140,000 Passengers
London's Gatwick Airport was forced to close for more than 36 hours over the weekend, because someone was flying drones over the runway.
The closure caused travel chaos, affecting more than 100,000 Christmas travellers.
Sussex police have since made two arrests in connection with the disruption.
In New Zealand, those working in the airline industry warned the same thing could easily happen in this country.
The New Zealand Airline Pilots' Association said the Gatwick situation was an urgent wake-up call for this country to strengthen its own drone laws.
President Tim Robinson said the government must urgently update the laws, in the wake of the problems at Gatwick.
"It's the first time we've really seen a major interruption of this period of time, with drones," he said.
"There's going to be significant changes to law and drone detection technology to deal with a situation such as this."
He said the rules needed updating urgently, to protect the public.
"These aspects of drone usage need to be accelerated. We need to look at the rules more carefully, and the whole process of basically keeping up with the technology and the number currently in use."
Mr Robinson said drone users should be forced to register, and the penalties for flying the machines near airports should be increased.
The calls were backed by Airways New Zealand.
Its head of strategy Trent Fulcher said it got a couple of reports a week of drones being flown in and around airports - up from one a week, a year ago.
The biggest risk is that a drone comes in contact with an aircraft and there's a catastrophic event, and that's exactly what we're trying to prevent, he said.
He said Airways was working with the government to develop new guidelines and rules for flying drones.
We've been pushing quite hard for three changes, he said.
One is mandatory registration of all drones, secondly certification and training for pilots, and thirdly the ability to track drones either through software or hardware on the drone itself.
A 47-year-old man and 54-year-old woman from Crawley are being questioned over multiple drone sightings that brought Gatwick Airport to a standstill.
Flights were grounded for more than 36 hours when drones were first spotted close to the runway on Wednesday night.
The airport has since reopened and flights were operating on schedule, but there were still long queues and some knock-on delays, a spokesman said.
Police are searching a house in Crawley and the pair remain in custody.
They were arrested on Friday evening and were being questioned on suspicion of disrupting civil aviation to endanger or likely to endanger safety of operations or persons, Sussex Police said.
The force said it was deploying a range of tactics to prevent further incursions from drones following the arrests.
Strategies were in place in case any further unmanned aircraft were seen inside the airport perimeter, it added.
Supt James Collis said: We continue to urge the public, passengers and the wider community around Gatwick to be vigilant and support us by contacting us immediately if they believe they have any information that can help us in bringing those responsible to justice.
The airport said it aimed to run a full schedule of 757 flights on Saturday, carrying 124,484 passengers.
A Gatwick spokesman said: Many people will be due to fly today and there will be longer delays perhaps.
But broadly things are going in the right direction. By the end of the weekend, things should be back to normal.
Some people have suffered real losses by not getting where they want to go to be with family.
Her husband David joked the drama was a nice distraction from Brexit.
Passengers have been warned to expect some delays and cancellations and advised to check with their airline before travelling to the airport.
Airport forced to shut runway disrupting 140,000 passengers.
About 1000 aircraft were either cancelled or diverted and about 140,000 passengers disrupted during three days of disruption.
The airport was forced to shut its runway for spells on Wednesday and Friday and for all of Thursday.
The drones were first spotted at about 21:00 GMT on Wednesday.
Every time the airport sought to reopen the runway on Thursday, the drones returned.
Authorities finally regained control over the airfield after the Army deployed unidentified military technology to guard the area, reassuring the airport that it was safe enough to fly from about 06:00 on Friday.
The Israeli-developed Drone Dome system, which can detect drones using radar, is believed to have been used. It can jam communications between the drone and its operator, enabling authorities to take control of and land the device.
But John Murray, professor of robotics and autonomous systems at the University of Hull, says the problem with this system was you can find the drone but not the person operating it.
You can take the drone out of the sky but you won't capture the person and that's what you want to do.
You can get a second-hand drone for between £200 and £300 so if you take it down, they can just go out and buy another one, he said.
No group has claimed responsibility for the disruption.
The drones caused misery for travellers, with many sleeping on the airport floor as they searched for alternative routes to holidays and Christmas family gatherings.
Thousands of passengers returning to the UK were either stranded abroad or diverted to other UK airports.
A handful of flights due to arrive into Gatwick on Saturday were cancelled, according to the airport's website, including an easyJet service from Milan-Linate and a TUI flight from Bridgetown, Barbados.
A Gatwick spokesman said: Safety is Gatwick's top priority and we are grateful for passengers' continued patience as we work to get them to their final destination in time for Christmas.

Dubbed Project Wing, Google‘s parent company Alphabet are to begin testing autonomous drones aimed at paving the way for a new delivery strategy.
The US government have pledged their support for comercial companies to continue research into automated drone flights.
The FAA have designated six sites where these drones can be tested, and have recently approved the use of commercial drone flights.
Alongside the government‘s decision to greenlight Project Wing, the US National Science Foundation have pledged $35 million over the next five years to invest in drone research.
“Project Wing is planning for the testing to include operations with external cargo loads and to build towards beyond line of sight capabilities,” a Whitehouse spokesman said.
“The company will also begin to develop and deploy an open-interface, airspace management solution for safe low-altitude small UAS operations using existing low cost, scalable communication and information technologies.”
Last week Google‘s biggest rival in drone commercial drone research Amazon was given the go ahead in the UK after struggling to do so in the US.
Google‘s new drones will be fitted with radio transmitters that allow manned aircraft in the same airspace to see where they are and avoid possible collisions, despite the fact they fly lower at 400ft.
It is thought that Googles new prototype which they are set to begin testing can fly at 60m/ph and mimic the horizontal flight of modern aircraft, as opposed to Amazon‘s helicopter style mechanisms.

Abstract: There is an upsurge of research interest on Alloy 718 additively manufactured (AM) by electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF) technique in aero and land-based gas turbine engines. However, the surface quality of the manufactured components has always been a major challenge. Several factors, including powder particle size, layer thickness, beam parameters, scanning strategies, and inclination angle of the build, govern the surface characteristics. Along with surface roughness resulted from partially melted powder particles, surface defects such as balls, satellites, microcracks as well as up-skin and down-skin surfaces can enhance the vulnerability of the manufactured parts to corrosion. When the surface is unable to withstand the exposed environment adequately, corrosion can be triggered. The surface-induced corrosion failures are increasingly becoming more challenging as the AM components often have complex geometries that render them even more difficult to finish. So, the relatively poor surface finish is the barrier to the full exploitation of the AM industry. In the present study, to achieve the desired surface quality, hence an improved high temperature corrosion performance, shot peening was implemented on Alloy 718 parts manufactured by EB-PBF. The high temperature corrosion behavior of the parts was investigated in an ambient air environment at 650 and 800 °C for up to 336 h. The underlying physical and chemical factors at play of the parts exposed to the corrosive environment were investigated too. The effect of topographical features (e.g., surface roughness) and microstructural characteristics (e.g., grain structure, phases, and defects) on high temperature corrosion behavior were analyzed by 3D surface profilometry, hardness test, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The surface roughness and high temperature corrosion rate of the parts was significantly reduced after shot peening.

This communication satellite is a man-made satellite that is placed in space with the aim of long-distance communication systems, both for telephone services and for internet services.
These modern communications satellites use geosynchronous orbits, molniya orbits or low earth orbits. Now with this communication satellite, we can enjoy the technology that exists at this time. Examples such as television, telephone, and so on.
This communication satellite has several types. The following is types of communication satellites along with the discussion:
- Middle earth orbit (MEO)
This satellite is a satellite with an intermediate orbit with an altitude of 8000-20,000 km with a revolution time of 50-12 hours. An example of an MEO satellite is telser.
- Low earth orbit (LEO)
This satellite is a satellite with the lowest orbit with an altitude of 500-2000 km above the earth’s surface. The time taken to circle the earth is 30 minutes to 1 hour. An example of this LEO satellite is the iridum satellite.
- Geostationary earth orbit (GEO)
This satellite has a height of 35.78 km from the earth’s surface and its revolution time is 24 hours. An example of this GEO satellite is palapa intelset-7.
- Highly elliptical orbit (HEO)
This satellite has an altitude of 500-50,000 km and a rotation time of 24 hours. Now an example of this one satellite is the Russian Monilya system from all types of satellites that the admin has described above. all these satellites have an important role for the life of all humans. If you imagine that there are no communication satellites, you will definitely feel lonely because you can’t watch television, play cellphones, listen to the radio, do long-distance communication and even there is no internet access.
So, those are the types of communication satellites that admin can explain to you. Now the admin will explain to you the benefits of communication satellites. There are many benefits of this communication satellite. To find out some of the benefits, here is an explanation:
How Communication Satellites Work
The benefits of communication satellites are:
- Can be used in various sectors.
There are many people who think that this satellite is only used by people who are actively working in areas that are covered by a signal or in remote areas. All of that is true, this satellite is very much needed for workers in remote areas and difficult signals, but other sectors can also take advantage of this satellite communication. For example, the banking sector can use this satellite communication as a backbone to keep wireless ATMs running smoothly. Especially in the biggest branches.
- Reliable performance and durability.
This satellite has high performance and durability. With this communication satellite, you can be on guard against a disaster. You can immediately give the news via communication and help will come soon.
- Wide range, able to maintain remote areas.
This communication satellite is very useful if you want to go to remote areas. For example, if you have a problem in an area that is difficult for people to reach, you can directly communicate with other people and you will immediately get help. This satellite is quite wide range.
- Tend to be more frugalt.
Many people already understand the benefits of satellite communication, but the number of people who use this communication satellite is only a few because they are said to be quite expensive. But it is wrong, the price of satellite communication is quite cheap. The price of this satellite communication will not increase even if the number of users increases. The distance between the communication points also does not determine the cost.
How Communication Satellites Work
A satellite is an object in space that rotates following the rotation of the earth. Satellites can be distinguished based on their shape and use. But what we will discuss this time is communication satellites. To be operational, the satellite will be launched into orbit with the help of a rocket. For developed countries such as the United States, Russia, France, and also China, which already have stations to launch these satellites into orbit.
Satellites also have positions in their orbits, and there are 3 kinds of satellite positions in their orbits. Here is the explanation:
- Low Earth Orbit (LEO)
LEO has a position 500 – 2,000 KM above the Earth’s surface.
- Medium Earth Orbit ( MEO )
MEO has a position 8,000 – 20,000 KM above the Earth’s surface.
- Geosynchoronus Orbit (GEO)
GEO has a position about 35,786 KM above the Earth’s surface.
So all satellite movements are monitored from Earth or commonly known as control stations. The workings of this satellite use uplink and downlink. This uplink is a transmission that is sent from Earth to the satellite. If the downlink is a transmission from the satellite to the control station or Earth. Communication on this satellite generally functions as a repeater in the sky. This satellite also uses transponders, transponders themselves are a tool to enable 2-way communication.
For example, Intelsat VIII uses 44 transponders which will later be able to accommodate 22,500 telephone circuits and 3 TV channels. Antenna from satellite is very important role in satellite communication network. This is because this object serves as a transmission receiver in every region around the world. While the placement of satellites (Satellite Spacing) is used to facilitate the transmission of data based on the region.
The power system used by this satellite is obtained through sunlight which will later be converted into electricity by using solar cells. In addition, the satellite is also equipped with a power source that has a duration of 12 years which is the fuel for this satellite to operate.

The $47.95 million Gulfstream G550 mates the latest bells and whistles to an airframe-engine combination that can deliver eight passengers and a crew of four to destinations up to 6,750 nautical miles away. That's Tokyo to Palm Beach nonstop in 12.5 hours, with reserves.
On shorter trips, you can take more passengers and stoke the twin Rolls-Royce engines to go even faster-up to Mach 0.885. Last year, Gulfstream posted numerous distance, speed and time records with the airplane, including Edinburgh to Beijing in eight hours, 47 minutes, Hong Kong to Dubai in eight hours, 29 minutes and Guatemala City to Madrid in nine hours, 11 minutes.
The G550 has good speed in the climb, too. Strap in and hold onto your drink. A sea-level takeoff to 37,000 feet requires just 18 minutes and only 5,950 feet of runway with a full load-a fairly impressive performance for a 91,000-pound (maximum takeoff weight) jet. A transcontinental fuel load shortens the required runway to a mere 3,500 feet, and at maximum landing weight, the G550 will stop in just 2,770 feet.
Gulfstream introduced the G550, a more aerodynamically efficient version of its GV, in 2003. That year, the airplane won the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy from the National Aeronautic Association for outstanding technical achievement. Since then, corporate chieftains, heads of state, various secret three-lettered government agencies and A-list celebrities have lined up to buy it. They include Renault and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn, billionaire industrialist Lakshmi Mittal, golfer Greg Norman and singer Julio Iglesias. The U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy operate several G550s that occasionally serve as Air Force One. The Israeli Defense Forces take advantage of the G550's endurance to use it as a Compact Airborne Early Warning platform.
The airplane boasts a comfortable passenger cabin that measures more than six feet tall, seven feet wide and 50 feet long. A variety of "standard" configurations offer up to four separate living areas. Cabins are available with either forward or aft gourmet galleys, storage credenzas, walk-in baggage area, dual forward and aft lavatories with flushing vacuum toilets, crew rest areas, conference groupings, executive "club-four" seating areas and divans with berthing tops that convert to sleeping areas. The individual seats have full slide and swivel motions and footrests; can be reclined to the full berthing position; and can be modified with optional full or partial electric function. Cabin dividers with pocket doors can be installed for privacy. If these options aren't enough, Gulfstream will work with you to craft an even more customized environment.
The cabin maintains a sea-level altitude through 29,000 feet and has a maximum cabin altitude of 6,000 feet. A 100-percent fresh-air system frequently replaces cabin air, eliminating the health risks posed by recycled air systems. Ample ambient light brightens the cabin through the G550's 14 large oval signature windows. LED reading and cabin lights reduce eye fatigue. The lower cabin altitude, fresh air and lighting combine to create a highly comfortable environment and substantially reduce the impact of jet lag.
You will be well-entertained on the G550. Standard equipment includes CD and DVD players, a 17-inch LCD monitor in the forward cabin bulkhead, a 15-inch LCD monitor above the credenza, wireless remotes, telephone handsets in four locations, a fax machine, power outlets at each seat grouping, electronic window shades, a wireless cabin local area network, an audio system and the Airshow 4000 passenger flight information system. Optional equipment includes larger monitors, individual seat monitors, the SecuraPlane three-camera system, enhanced soundproofing and even an espresso maker.
Outside, the G550 looks sharp thanks to two-tone paint with Teflon coating. Gulfstream points out that the airplane takes 20 percent more time to paint than comparably sized jets, largely because of attention to detail. It paints areas where some competitors do not, such as inside baggage doors, wheel wells and engine nacelles. After painting, each aircraft goes through up to 400 hours of detailing.
The painting, long legs and cushy cabin are nice, but it is the intelligent integration of advanced avionics, cabin information and entertainment systems, and other bells and whistles that set the G550 apart from other uber barges.
Consider this scenario in the cockpit: Your pilots are shooting a landing at an unfamiliar airport in the thick soup, maybe at night. Sinking lower and lower, hoping that the runway will pop into sight at any second, praying that all the fancy stuff connected to the instrument panel works and guides the airplane onto the runway center line. At the last possible moment, the airplane breaks free of clouds and, seconds later, the landing gear smacks the pavement. But if the pilots err or something in the panel breaks, it is going to be a bad day. It's called controlled flight into terrain, and it is one of the leading causes of fatal aviation accidents.
The standard enhanced vision system (EVS) aboard the G550 eliminates this anxiety. EVS displays real-time images from a forward-looking infrared camera onto a head-up display (HUD) that also contains critical flight data. The pilot looks through the HUD and the windshield. Although he can see nothing outside the airplane with unaided eyes, with the EVS he can literally land blind. It shows the runway, surrounding terrain and other land features. (You can see a pretty amazing cockpit video of this at www.gulfstream.com.) Gulfstream calls EVS "the most significant advance in aviation safety" since the instrument landing system. There's a little hyperbole there, but not much.
EVS is part of the G550's PlaneView integrated glass panel, cursor-controlled avionics system. Rather than using a mouse or trackball control, Gulfstream fashioned a proprietary, military-style controller with a trigger switch, trigger, scroll knob and rocker switch. It fits naturally into the outboard hand and is easy to use. Working with Honeywell, Gulfstream developed an integrated flight deck with clear, crisp and uncluttered displays with an interactive navigation management system. The system is designed with open architecture to accept upgrades. It was the first business jet system to employ the Jeppesen Flight Deck electronic charts and mapsThe G550's electronic sophistication doesn't stop in the cockpit. During the mad rush to the airborne Internet five years ago, some system manufacturers and aircraft OEMs were making outrageous claims about how well their systems worked, only to disappoint customers under actual conditions. Gulfstream kept its powder dry, taking its time methodically developing and testing a system called broadband multi-link (BBML) that delivers DSL-like performance of 3.5 megabytes per second-10 times faster than single-channel systems and five times faster than dual-channel systems. While other providers concentrated on providing a system comparable to dial-up or home use, Gulfstream knew that its customers would settle for nothing less than the same speed and convenience they enjoyed via cable or landlines in their offices. With BBML, you can move huge files over a secure wireless cabin LAN, conduct live video conferences and use VoIP networks, all for per-minute charges that are 50 to 75 percent less than with other systems. Just open up your wireless laptop and you're there.
Fully laden with options and custom interior, a G550 can easily cost more than $55 million. One 2005 model recently hit the resale market at $59.5 million.
At that price, you would expect the G550 to do just about everything well. It really does. | aerospace |

A statement from the agency said the setting up of the task force had become necessary because the aircraft constituted serious safety hazard on the airside, apart from being an eyesore at the airports, with some of the aircraft abandoned for upwards of 10 years.
At its inaugural meeting, the task force called on owners of such abandoned aircraft to evacuate them immediately because of the danger they posed to the airport environment.
The statement by the General Manager, Corporate Communications, FAAN, Mr. Yakubu Dati, said the task force noted that some aircraft owners had responded to earlier appeals by the authority and were already making arrangement to evacuate them.
The agency had made several appeals to operators to remove the abandoned aircraft, including meetings with the owners and publication of paid notices in newspapers in the past five years.
Dati said some of the owners of the abandoned aircraft had taken FAAN to court over the issue and got injunctions that made it difficult for the authority to carry out the exercise before now. | aerospace |

Here is a draft document laying out the requirements: Commercial Crew Transportation System Certification Requirements for NASA Low Earth Orbit Missions – ESMD-CCTSCR-12.10 – NASA – Dec.9.10 (pdf).
The Strategy for Documentation sounds like they have been reading Wayne Hale’s blog (e.g. see here and here). In fact, I see that Hale has a recent post about one of the requirements dealing with aborts.
Here is NASA’s doc strategy:
“NASA’s overarching strategy for the development of these documents is to ensure that the requirements are not overly burdensome and allow our Commercial Partners the maximum flexibility to develop safe and cost effective human space transportation systems. The 1100-series of documents are in draft form now and, as mentioned in the previous section, we are planning on releasing the documents via an RFI in January and incorporating the feedback we receive from industry before we initially baseline those documents in the Spring 2011.
There are some communities that feel more requirements are appropriate; others feel fewer requirements are better. NASA is attempting to balance these competing interests into the development of a set of documents that will enable our Commercial Partners to apply innovative solutions while leveraging NASA’s extensive experience with respect to safe human spaceflight. The current 1100-series incorporates input from NASA’s three Technical Authorities (Safety and Mission Assurance, Chief Engineer, and Health and Medical), the International Space Station Program, the Space Shuttle Program, the Launch Services Program, and the Commercial Crew Planning Office. We have spent upwards of thousands of labor hours working through the requirements in order to strike the best balance.
It should be noted that a simplistic “page count” of the 1100-series of documents does not reflect the quality of the requirements or the degree of difficulty in meeting them. The majority of the pages in CCT-REQ-1130 International Space Station (ISS) Crew Transportation Certification and Services Requirements Document are made of up “rationale” and verifications that NASA added to the actual requirements in order for industry to see the “intent” of our requirements and give them the flexibility to meet the requirements in innovative ways. This is a direct result of industry feedback we received from the first RFI we put out last May.
In comparison to the documents used for early NASA human spaceflight programs, such as Gemini, it may appear that the set of requirements has dramatically expanded. In some ways, it has. However, at the time the Gemini requirements were developed, the United States had accomplished only about a half dozen human spaceflights. We now have 50 years and over 150 human missions of experience to leverage in order to enhance the safety and success of any future human space transportation program.
Another point of comparison is NASA’s Launch Services Program (LSP). The LSP model was one of the inputs used by the Commercial Crew Planning Office in establishing its strategy for insight/oversight and safety. While the LSP model is excellent for its purposes, it has some clear distinctions from commercial crew that make wholesale adoption of the LSP approach to commercial crew unworkable. The primary difference is the LSP is not a development program, it is a services program. All the launch vehicles used by LSP were developed according to some standards and requirements, mostly Air Force and DOD requirements and standards.
However, the Air Force and DOD do not have “human” spaceflight requirements and standards. Only NASA has those and we have to make those requirements and standards available to the Commercial Providers to guide their design and development efforts. We are scrubbing those requirements to ensure they are truly necessary and we are allowing industry to substitute their standards in many instances. Successful spaceflight systems today use a pedigree of requirements and standards developed and adapted throughout spaceflight history.” | aerospace |

For this purpose, at first, an aircraft has been chosen as a target and its dynamic behaviors are analyzed. Basically, in this research an unmanned flying device is the case of study. These behaviors are analyzed in different states and modes. In this stage, the open loop simulation ends. Open loop simulation consists of the aerodynamic modeling of the flying device and the modeling for solving the nonlinear equations with six degrees of freedom. The main part of the work depends on this stage. In the following, the close loop process begins. In this stage, the target is the designing of a controller for the flying device. This project has focused on PID controller design. Extraction of PID coefficients has been done manually. Finally, the conduction code has been written in DTW form and has been added to the simulation.
Capabilities and Results:
1- solution and structure of AeroSim
2-AeroSim block set
3- The block which is shown in figure , computes the wind-axes velocity based on instantaneous ground and aircraft speeds, instantaneous sound velocity, airspeed bound parameters, sideslip angle range and the angle-of-attack. Instantaneous Mach, angle of attack variations and sideslip angle according to time, are other outputs of this block. It should be noted that, this block is as the input for other blocks, which will be described.
4- The block which is shown in the following figure, computes the airplane lift coefficient (CL) as a linear combination of individual contributions of various flight parameters.
5- The block computes the aircraft Drag coefficient
6-The block computes the airplane side force coefficient as a linear combination for various flight parameters
7-The block computes the airplane pitch moment coefficient as a linear combination
8-The block computes the airplane non-dimensional roll moment coefficient (Cl) as a linear combination
What is the achievements of this project:
Based on the explanation presented so far, an openloop unmanned aircraft with electrical engine can be simulated. Of course, simulation and codes is usable for all aircrafts if the piston propulsion system would be added. It can be done according to the information which was presented in the propulsion section. So far, the openloop simulation has been carried out and we can connect joystick to computer and observe the flight behavior in the FlightGear software. The image of flight behavior in the FlightGear software is shown in the following figure. | aerospace |

The U.S. Army met with Lockheed Aircraft Corporation to express its dire need for a jet fighter to counter a rapidly growing German jet threat.
One month later, a young engineer by the name of Clarence "Kelly" L. Johnson and his team of young engineers hand delivered the XP-80 Shooting Star jet fighter proposal to the ATSC. Quickly the go-ahead was given for Lockheed to start development on the United States' first jet fighter effort. It was June of 1943 and this project marked the birth of what would become the Skunk Works® with Kelly Johnson at its helm.
The formal contract for the XP-80 did not arrive at Lockheed until October 16, 1943; four months after work had already begun. This would prove to be a common practice within the Skunk Works. Many times a customer would come to the Skunk Works with a request, and on a handshake the project would begin, no contracts in place, no official submittal process.
Kelly Johnson and his team designed and built the XP-80 in only 143 days, seven less than was required.
What allowed Kelly to operate the Skunk Works so effectively and efficiently was his unconventional organizational approach. He broke the rules, challenging the current bureaucratic system that stifled innovation and hindered progress. (from Lockheed Martin's website) This commission was from a client who wanted their own skunk works! | aerospace |

According to media gossip, Air France-KLM and the German airline Lufthansa were among the potential bidders with whom Interpath Advisory, the insolvency practitioner, had been in talks.
The decision was conveyed to the 45 remaining Flybe staff on Wednesday.
According to sources familiar with the process, “use it or lose it” regulations governing take-off and landing slots have contributed to making a sale of the company too challenging to accomplish.
A little-known investor with little prior experience controlling aviation companies, Cyrus Capital, bought Flybe out of administration less than a year ago, leading to its recent relaunch.
The company, which was one of Europe’s largest regional airlines at one point, was listed on the London Stock Exchange until 2019, when it was sold to a venture funded by Virgin Atlantic Airways.
Flybe, with its headquarters in Exeter, provided connections for travellers travelling to and from underserved UK locations in the south-west, the Midlands, and Scotland.
It first went bankrupt as the epidemic started to spread in the beginning of 2020.
Up to its most recent run-in with the law, Flybe operated flights to and from airports like Heathrow and Schiphol in Amsterdam.
Thousands of passengers were impacted by the collapse last month, even though Flybe was a far smaller company than it had been in 2020 when it was owned by Cyrus Capital.
Within hours of Interpath’s hiring, more than 200 workers were laid off.
According to an insider, difficulties relating to the attitude of European authorities towards a temporary operating permit for Flybe that would have been provided by the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority also played a role in the sale’s impediment.
It is now anticipated that the corporation will be shut down, and that negotiations will take place between Interpath and aircraft lessors. | aerospace |

So comes the sobering conclusion of two of the world’s top space agencies: America’s NASA and Europe’s ESA.
So much flotsam and jetsam are now choking the region of space near Earth that even the International Space Station (ISS) has had to change its orbit to avoid disastrous collisions.
Tens of millions of pieces of junk
The space junk can be smaller than a pea or as big as defunct satellites. While a significant amount will eventually tumble back to Earth and burn up in the atmosphere, much of it could continue to orbit for hundreds of years. It’s now estimated that tens of millions of pieces of junk are now orbiting Earth.
The oldest known piece of junk in space is America’s Vanguard I satellite inserted into orbit back in 1958.
All the debris presents a clear and present danger to crucial satellites already in orbit and to satellites launched in the future.
Although efforts to track and plot all the debris have been underway for decades, the task is Herculean in nature and even the tiniest objects—some traveling faster than bullets—can potentially incapacitate or even destroy the ISS and future manned spacecraft.
The worrisome ‘Kessler Syndrome’
The “Kessler Syndrome” postulates that in the not-too-distant future, Mankind might become marooned on Earth…traveling into space and navigating through the debris field would be a suicide mission. The Syndrome gets its name from a former NASA employee and his colleague. Donald Kessler and Burton Cour-Palais realized that as space debris increased—from sources like damaged satellites, lost space tools, garbage tossed into orbit, and killer satellite tests—the risk of catastrophic collisions would also increase exponentially.
Eventually, as more satellites sustained damage from collisions with junk, more junk would litter NEO. Humans would become virtually cut off from space travel.
The graphic accompanying this article was created by David Shikomba of the European Space Agency. It illustrates the virtual cloud of space junk that is currently tracked as it orbits Earth. Most of the objects are chunks of metal and plastic traveling at high speeds. It’s estimated that more than 95 percent of everything circling Earth is non-functioning junk.
As the UK’s Guardian notes: “Being hit by a ‘sugar-cube’ of space debris is the equivalent of standing next to an exploding hand-grenade. And the problem is only getting worse.”
An astronaut hit by debris—even something the size of a grain of sand—could easily be killed. How? The answer lies in the fact that even a small amount of mass moving at 6,000 miles per hour (and some being tracked are estimated to be traveling at more than 26,000 miles per hour) transfers tremendous kinetic energy upon impact with incredible explosive force.
Nukes in space
But the velocity of the junk is not the only potential danger.
Traveling in low-Earth orbit (under 1,060 miles altitude) are a minimum of 13 nuclear reactor fuel cores and 32 nuclear reactors. These not only endanger space travel, but also present a risk to populated regions on Earth.
Tracking programs underfunded and overwhelmed
Although NASA has established the Orbital Debris Program Office to address the danger and the ESA has its own counterpart with the Space Situational Awareness Programme, both are underfunded and cannot keep up with the increasing amount of space junk. Adding to the woes are the millions of bits of rogue space debris so small no current technology can track it.
If a solution isn’t found, humans may be stranded on planet Earth never to return to the Moon, voyage to Mars or reach the stars. | aerospace |

The new aircraft will be delivered in April and June 2022 respectively.
The conversions will be carried out by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), starting in early 2023 and expected to conclude in 2024 with each aircraft taking up to an estimated five months for the process.
The agreement also includes an option for further Boeing 777-300ER conversions at a later stage.
The converted freighters will provide up to 10 additional pallet positions over the Boeing 777-F production freighter allowing for transport of more low density cargo. The converted aircraft’s payload capabilities are very close to those of the Boeing 777-F production freighters and the twin-engine aircraft will be more efficient per tonne of cargo carried than standard freighters, said Emirates.
Emirates Group chairman and chief executive, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said: “We are delighted to announce an investment of AED 3.6 billion (US$ 1 billion) to further expand our freighter capacity. This underscores our commitment to supporting our customers’ requirements, and reflects our confidence in our future growth and status as one of the largest airline cargo carriers in the world.” | aerospace |

In particular, UAS and “microdrones” may prove beneficial for security and safety purposes, as long as various provisions are met with both the airborne vehicle and operator. The proposal (which included the use of UAS for commercial applications) was sent out for 60 days for public comments with a final ruling expected later this year.
While some businesses aspire to soon use drones as superfast package delivery systems, legal restrictions still exist that will hinder these plans for the time being. For example, the FAA will require all UAS operators to maintain visual line-of-sight with their crafts. Some of the other operational limitations of flying an unmanned aerial vehicle or system include:
- The aircraft must weigh less than 55 pounds (25 kilograms)
- Flights may only be conducted from sunrise to sunset, excluding any nighttime operation
- Imposed maximums of 100 mph speed and 500 ft. altitude
Like any employee responsible for the operation of a motor vehicle, UAV/UAS operators are also required to maintain certain specific certifications and conditions. With regulations having to do with these potentially ground-breaking activities in their early phase it is essential that the focus be around the basics of when, where and how UAS's are flown. As the rules are developed, we already know that operators must:
- Be vetted by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and then pass an aeronautical knowledge test (re-occurring every two years)
- Perform preflight inspections of the vehicle before every flight
- Submit any required documents and/or records of inspections/testing to the FAA as well as report any incidents that result in property damage/injury within 10 days
While the above is not an exhaustive list of all limitations released by the FAA, it is a step in the right direction for any future technological innovations. If any entity seeks to employ drone/UAS as a means to protect workers, the FAA is willing to grant exemptions, such as allowing utility companies exploring drone use as a means of inspecting critical infrastructure. For instance, for power transmission lines, employees would normally use bucket trucks, which can be cumbersome to maneuver, especially through storm-damaged areas. For power plants that can be up to a dozen stories high, workers may spend a week building suspension and scaffolding devices to inspect thousands of components. Accomplishing these duties by drone takes a fraction of the amount of time with less risk to those working onsite. For additional information regarding UAS/drone use for security, read our previous blog post: Drone use for video surveillance. | aerospace |

Southwest Airlines Co. earned a record profit last year and the CEO benefited with a 24 percent increase in compensation, to $5 million.
Southwest Airlines reported that traffic increased by 6 percent in February. Passengers flew more, flights were more crowded, and a key revenue figure went up last month.
Dallas-based Southwest plans to operate the flights beginning in October from a new international terminal being built at Houston’s Hobby Airport.
Southwest Airlines, UPS and the National Weather Service are testing new technology that could lead to more accurate forecasts.
Federal officials have agreed to let Southwest Airlines keep flying planes that missed an inspection of a backup rudder system if the planes are checked in the next five days.
Southwest Airlines Inc. says it has grounded 128 planes after failing to inspect backup hydraulic systems used to control the rudder if the main system fails.
Hundreds of flights have been canceled over the long Presidents Day weekend, as a winter storm rolled through parts of the Midwest and Northeast on Sunday and Monday.
Southwest adds nonstop flights to ten new destinations starting in April. Fare sale through the weekend.
American Airlines, US Airways and their regional carriers have canceled almost 1,800 flights due to winter storms in the Midwest and Northeast.
Southwest Airlines Co. has reached a deal to gain more gates at Love Field and expand nonstop service.

MIAMI TWP. — The National Transportation Safety Board has concluded its investigation into the March 11 small plane crash in a wooded area near Interstate 675, citing the plane's lack of fuel and the pilot's decision to drink and fly.
The NTSB investigation indicates the Mooney M20E plane ran out of fuel while the pilot, 50-year-old Doug Morgan, was searching for an airport.
Morgan told NTSB investigators he experienced a technical problem while approaching to land, then flew for another two hours while searching for another place to land, according to the report.
He had to make a forced landing when the plane ran out of fuel.
NTSB concluded the probable cause to be "the total loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion, which resulted from the noncurrent pilot's improper in-flight fuel management and decision-making and his decision to conduct the flight after consuming alcohol."
The report further indicates the pilot entered air space and conditions without clearance and the plane did not have a current annual inspection. | aerospace |

He has adopted a new approach and believes it can be implemented in future Moon missions. This research is part of the Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis Program (ANGSA).
NASA’s Julie Mitchell is leading this project. He says That we started it at the beginning of the year 2018 and had to go through a lot of technical difficulties. We saw this as testing to create a facility for cold sample processing in the future.
Michel said that this project will not only help the Artemis program, but will also ease the issue of bringing samples in the future. Actually, NASA is preparing to bring samples from Mars in the coming years. Currently, NASA’s rover is working to collect samples on Mars.
According to the people working on this research, there is something special in these samples of the lunar surface, which have not been analyzed in almost five decades. Amino acids were detected in some samples from the Moon, which are essential for life on Earth. Obviously this study will be of great help to NASA’s next Moon mission. She wants to send humans once again to the Moon under her Artemis mission and this time to prepare a permanent setup there. | aerospace |

Dave Robins, 29, touched down at the airport on Monday after flying more than 3,000 miles from Mojave, Calif., to Old Town in his 700-pound, 14-foot-long KR-2 experimental plane. Airport staff said it was the smallest plane ever to land on the strip.
Robins started flying at age 15. He said he bought the KR-2 in 2009. Someone built the kit aircraft in a garage in 1981, but it hadn’t flown since 1991.
The plane, which is two years older than its pilot, has spent about 300 hours, or roughly 39,000 miles, in the air, Robins said.
At his day job, Robins maintains and repairs unmanned aerial vehicles in Afghanistan as a contractor for the military.
During his time stateside, Robins said he’s taking time to fly across the country and “hit up all four corners of the U.S.” He is scheduled to return to Afghanistan in three weeks.
Robins plans to fly from Maine to Florida, with a stop in Virginia to spend time with his sister, before continuing on to Washington state. He started his journey on June 6.
The KR-2 runs on a Volkswagen engine and can cover about 800 miles on one tank of fuel. The aircraft is so light that Robins said he sometimes practices steering the plane by leaning in the direction he wants to go.
He avoids storms wherever possible because his vehicle isn’t built for severe conditions.
“There was a lot of ducking and dodging in the Gulf [of Mexico region],” Robins said.
Fully loaded, with a few days’ supply of clothes, food, survival gear, fuel and pilot, the plane weighs in at about 1,000 pounds. At one point on Monday at the Old Town airport, Robins decided to turn the fiberglass and wood plane around, so he picked up the tail and rotated the aircraft 180 degrees.
The wings can be pulled off the plane, allowing the whole thing to fit in a garage.
Robins has friends and former colleagues who work for Carter Aero Works, an aircraft maintenance and flight instruction company based at DeWitt Field, so the trip to Old Town allowed him to visit friends as well as one of the nation’s four corners.
Robins is scheduled to leave Old Town on Tuesday after finishing repairs on his brakes. | aerospace |

And we don't mean through a separate app, but access to a live flight tracker built into the iPhone itself? Follow the article, to know how to track your flight, or any of your family and friends.
One of the reasons why the iPhone is one of the best phones out there, is that it's packed with features that are hidden deep within its system, and the one that we have is well hidden away.
The Messages app is built in with a live flight tracker, which can give you live locations, flight details and take-off and landing times for any flight in real time, all you need is the flight number.
This is one of the coolest features of the iPhone so far for those who travel a lot, it makes it easier for them and reassurance on the progress of the trip. Here's how to access the flight tracker built into the iPhone.
How to track flights on iPhone using Messages
The steps in brief:
◉ Find the flight number.
◉ Send or receive a text message that includes the flight number in the messages.
◉ If the flight number is recognized, a line will appear under it
◉ Click on the flight number in the sent text.
◉ Select Flight Preview.
◉ Check flight details, times and baggage information.
Here are the step-by-step instructions for each step.
1. Find the flight number of the plane you want to track. You can find this number on your flight booking confirmation, by asking anyone who's traveling, or by going to the airline's website to see their flight schedule.
2. Open Messages and text the flight numberFor example, type BA0117. And send it to any number of yours or anyone next to you, or send it from another iPhone to you.
3. After sending, the device must put a line under the flight number, to indicate that it can be clicked as a link, if you do not find a line under the flight number after sending This means that the flight number is not recognized or the airline is not yet supported. Click on the flight number.
4. A box will appear showing you the flight map and the location of the aircraft on its path. Click Flight Preview or Flight Preview for more details, including departure and arrival/gate station information, estimated departure and arrival times, and baggage claim information.
So you have a complete flight path tracker built into your iPhone. With it, you can track the travels of your friends, family and loved ones.
Sometimes you put the flight number and it does not work, so put the word “Flight” before the flight number, and it will work, whether in the SMS application or the notes application
Thank you very much for this information
I tried many times
do not work
Tariq Mansour, your words are incorrect. He does not automatically put a line under the flight number. I live in Germany and I tried XNUMX flights.. Where did you get this logic from?
It works and is very useful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
(Do the same for the notes)
It will work for you and I tried it
Just save the flight number in the notes and choose Done, then you can click on the flight and see the full details
What is the wisdom of making important features hidden?
The title of the article is the iPhone is the best device because it has many hidden features. Something illogical I make a feature that comforts the customer and then hide it from him. This only indicates Apple's continued failure
unfunny indian movie
Pressing the scanner, three options came out, including a drawing of a plane
Add to the drawing immediately opens the path of the plane and all its information
Awesome and very easy
I sent a massage to my son
I opened my scanner
Works, thanks for the new and excellent info.
All programs you download are paid from inside
Just save the flight number in the notes and choose Done, then you can click on the flight and see the details
Unfortunately, this feature is similar to many advantages that do not work in Egypt, regardless of the airline, whether it supports this feature or not.
I hope if I am wrong, it will be very nice, how does this service work in Egypt, and I remain very thankful to you.
How can the best phones and their advantages be hidden from users? We know about them if we come across a piece of information or an article?!!
It has been tested and is working successfully
I tried an EgyptAir plane from London to Cairo
Tried a flight number and sent a message, but no line appeared under the flight number
Thanks for the great article 🌹
What happened? Tell us as we solve the problem, if this article is the problem, we have explained the thing that some did not understand.
If there are other problems, let us know and we will try to avoid them together. | aerospace |

Scott Stoops has delivered another outstanding Edge 540 design, this time in 74" wingspan for 26-35cc gas or 6S-8S Electric power, or even 1.50-2.10 glow.
This Edge takes its styling cues from the awesome pylon racing Edges of the last few seasons, but its aerodynamics are optimized for aerobatics and post-stall 3D flight. All of the features pilots have come to expect a Stoops design: low coupling, excellent harrier, crisp precision - they are all here in a fantastic looking and easy-to-assemble package.
The Edge uses 4 full size metal gear servos, plus a throttle servo if needed. A second elevator servo may also be installed to balance a very heavy petrol engine. All ball-link hardware is included, along with carbon landing gear attached to a fiberglass/carbon reinforced plate, wing bags, genuine ultracote covering, carbon wing tube, locking hatch latch, carbon-reinforced fuselage, aluminium axles, carbon tail wheel, and more.
For IC power, the 74" Edge is set up for the DLE-30 engine, and includes a firewall-drilling template for that engine and uses the standoffs included with the latest version of the DLE-30 engine. If you are not using a DLE-30, you will have to supply the correct length standoffs and drill your firewall accordingly for your particular engine.

On November 27th 2022, an accident took place in the state of Maryland, USA when a small airplane crashed into 230-kV power transmission lines 100 feet above the ground. The airplane crashed nose-first into one powerline tower due to its low flight altitude and got stuck in a web of powerlines around the stanchion. The accident caused a significant power outage in the surrounding area and a large rescue operation was launched soon after the incident had occurred. The plane occupants, a 66-year old pilot and a 65-year old passenger both survived the crash and neither faced any life-threatening injuries.
Insulation for safe rescue operation
The initial emergency response consisted of many paramedic engines and first aid units to rescue the passengers from the aircraft and give them medical attention. However, due to the difficult nature of the operation, the rescue mission was not as straightforward as hoped. The power to the powerlines was cut off after the accident but the rescue personnel had to be careful as the Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO) informed them, that the lines still hold high static energy which can be lethal. This meant that each powerline needed to be grounded and bonded to ensure that there was no danger to rescue personnel or the place occupants.
The rescue plan was two-phase. First rescue personnel team climbed up the tower to ground it and ensure that the wires have no residual power. After that a second team of rescuers went up with two aerial platforms to secure the plane to the tower to ensure safe extraction, after which the passengers were safely evacuated from the aircraft and taken to the ground for immediate medical attention. The rescue operation went as planned and both passengers were transported to a hospital for thorough medical examination.

The aerial equipment used in the rescue operation included one Bronto Skylift SI178HDT insulated aerial platform operated by AUI Power, based in Elkton, Maryland. The unit has a safe working height of 178 feet which allowed the rescue personnel to reach the plane and the articulated boom structure ensured safe operating around the hanging powerlines. The Bronto SI-range units are insulated, which added an extra layer of safety to the operation as the aerials can be safely used around powerlines even when they are fully operational and have current running through them. Due to the steady working cage with a maximum load of 1000 lb, the passengers were able to be rescued safely with multiple rescuers helping them from the cage.
“The recovery effort wouldn’t have been possible without the Bronto on site, as the extra knuckle allowed the rescue personnel to safely maneuver around damaged equipment efficiently and accurately.”

A grant project funded by National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions to use hobbyist drone technology to protect our oceans.
Number of Planes
Monitoring Data Collected
Project DescriptionSoarOcean will demonstrate that the considerable advancements seen in recent years in low cost drone technology can create a revolution in aerial monitoring platforms for conservation purposes. These small unmanned aerial vehicles can be built and flown for a small fraction of the cost of a single flight using traditional manned surveillance aircraft. Additionally, they are simple to operate, functioning in ways similar to hobby recreational aircraft but equipped with the same capabilities of their military-class surveillance counterparts. Communities and conservation organizations can harness this technology to change the way we protect our oceans. Contact us to learn more
Project PlanThe research behind SoarOcean seeks to demonstrate that these same benefits can be done using the affordable versions of these platforms. There has been very limited work, conducted by recreational drone experts, showing that this could be successful. The research will be conducted in the Channel Islands Marine Reserve, which will allow numerous field tests in varying conditions (weather, distance, time-of-day, visibility, etc). Multiple expeditions will be planned on the islands withing specific resource constraints, which aim to effectively provide the constraints of operation in less technologically developed communities. Every step of this process and best practices will be documented heavily through photographs and descriptions that can be incorporated into a handbook, articles, and blog posts on this website. The outcome of this work will be to provide demonstrated capabilities of low cost drone platforms to coastal communities looking to provide monitoring capacity for marine protected areas. This will include the documentation of what equipment is needed and the best practices and limitations related to operation. The aim is to provide this guidance to coastal communities and ocean conservation NGOs in order to help promote the use of this technology for conservation.
Drone technology will change the face of conservation. We need demilitarize this platform through the maker movement for use in environmental monitoring and protection. SoarOcean seeks to do that for our marine reserves.- Shah Selbe, National Geographic Emerging Explorer and Grantee | aerospace |

Communication satellites receive signals from ground transmitters, commonly known as Earth stations. Since the received signals are very weak these signals are amplified, processed and retransmitted towards desired regions of the Earth.
Conventional satellites (the majority) simply amplify the weak signals before transmissions. Satellites using advanced technology can modify the received signals to adapt them better for retransmissions. For example satellites may receive transmissions in time divided bursts and retransmit them in a continuous stream, combining individual bursts.
In broad terms satellites comprise a platform or ‘bus’ and a payload. The bus assists in maintaining satellite’s attitude and orbit, accepts ground originated commands, assists ground station tracking by transmitting a beacon, provides DC power, maintains thermal equilibrium and provides desired structural support, The payload performs the task related to communication. It comprises a repeater, which processes the received signals and readies them for transmission, and antennas, which collect and distribute the radio frequency signals in the service area. | aerospace |

The ISRO is treading a cautious path after these two setbacks as Chandrayaan-2 is among the essential launches for the house company, significantly after Chandrayaan-1 and Mangalyaan (Mars Orbiter Mission). It’s also ISRO’s first mission to land on any celestial physique.
“We do not need to take any threat,” stated the official, requesting anonymity. The official added that there are particular home windows throughout which the mission may very well be launched. The following launch window is prone to be in January.
Repeated makes an attempt to solicit a response from ISRO Chairman Ok Sivan weren’t profitable. In April, Sivan knowledgeable the federal government concerning the postponement of the launch to October-November. A national-level committee to assessment Chandrayaan-2 advisable some extra assessments earlier than the mission may take off.
Chandrayaan-2 will probably be ISRO’s first time try and land a rover on the Moon. The rover of India’s second lunar mission, costing practically Rs. 800 crore, will probably be made to land close to the yet-unexplored south pole.

GEPRC CineLog20 is a brand new small and light-weight pusher type FPV quadcopter with 2″ propellers and prop guards. The choice with the DJI O3 air unit weighs 140g (about 200g with a 4S LiPo battery). The drone can carry an extra naked motion digital camera that sits on a vibration-free, damped mounting plate.
For the reason that introduction of the DJI O3 air unit in November 2022, now we have seen fairly a couple of third-party drones with this digital camera transmission system out there, such because the sub 249g 2.5″ FPV iFlight Defender 25 quadcopter, which I wrote about earlier in January. One other Chinese language drone producer, GEPRC, modified one in every of their newer drones to suit the DJI O3: the GEPRC Cinebot30 3″ FPV drone. The identical firm just lately introduced one other new FPV quadcopter providing the DJI O3 air unit as an choice, this time it is a good smaller FPV quadcopter appropriate for indoor flights: the GEPRC CineLog20. Let’s check out the main points.
GEPRC CineLog20: tiny indoor quad
CineLog is probably GEPRC’s most profitable line of FPV drones. I’ve the CineLog25 and it’s a excellent pusher type drone for indoor flight that may simply carry the GoPro HERO10 Bones. With the brand new CineLog20, GEPRC created a good smaller and lighter drone.
The CineLog20 options 2″ propellers with robust injection molded prop guards. As with earlier CineLog drones, the motors and equipment are mounted the wrong way up, often known as “thrust type.” GEPRC claims that this will increase effectivity.
The drone makes use of GEPRC SPEEDX2 1303.5 5500KV motors with 2″ Emax 4-blade propellers. The flight controller is the GEP-F411-35A AIO. There are a number of receiver choices relying on the system you employ: PNP (built-in DJI receiver), ELRS2.4G, TBS Nano RX/RXSR.
Now, as a result of small footprint, low weight, and a couple of″ propellers, I typically would not suggest taking the drone out in a windy setting because it will not be very secure. That’s the reason GEPRC additionally advertises it as an indoor drone.
The drone is offered with the DJI O3 air unit, but additionally with different FPV digital camera programs:
- Runcam Hyperlink Wasp – Digital HD
- DJI O3 Air Unit – Digital HD
- Walksnail Micro – Digital HD
- Caddx Ratel2 – Analog
Of those cameras, the O3 aerial unit will undoubtedly produce the most effective picture, so in case you do not plan on mounting a secondary motion digital camera on the again, I might solely take into account the O3. It might report photos as much as 4K60 and has a built-in storage of 20 GB.
The digital camera mounting plate has been redesigned with vibration discount mounts. That goes for each the drone’s digital camera and the optionally available secondary digital camera. GEPRC claims that on its again the drone can carry GoPro Hero8/9/10/11, DJI Motion 2, Insta360 Go 2, Caddx Peanut and different small and lightweight motion cameras on its again. Apparently, GEPRC provides ready-to-use naked GoPro cameras in its retailer.
Safely beneath 249g
The CineLog20 is a 4S drone, so it solely accepts 4S LiPo battery packs. GEPRC recommends 4S LiHv (Excessive Voltage Lithium Polymer) batteries with a capability between 450 and 660 mAh. The full flight time will then be between 4 and 6 minutes relying on the ultimate takeoff weight and the dimensions of the battery.
The load of the GEPRC CineLog20 (with DJI O3 air unit and TBS Nano RX) is simply 140g. The heaviest really helpful LiPo battery (650 mAh) will weigh round 74g. Meaning the drone is secure beneath 249g. In actual fact, even with a naked GoPro or different light-weight digital camera, you could possibly nonetheless drop under 249g.
Value and availability
The drone is already out there within the GEPRC on-line retailer. Relying on the kind of receiver, the DJI O3 model of the GEPRC CineLog20 drone prices between $480 and $515. Variations of the drone with different digital camera programs are extra reasonably priced, and the analog model is probably the most reasonably priced beginning at $200.
If you’re new to FPV, do not forget that the LiPo battery packs, radio controller and FPV goggles have to be bought individually.
Do you employ FPV drones in your work? What do you consider the brand new GEPRC CineLog20? Is the DJI O3 aerial unit picture ok for you or do you at all times use a secondary digital camera, a naked GoPro? Tell us within the remark part under the article.
I want the article roughly GEPRC CineLog20 – Tiny Light-weight 2″ FPV Drone with DJI O3 Air Unit for Indoor Flying Introduced provides perception to you and is helpful for including as much as your information | aerospace |

Its low-cost sister airline, FlyDubai, followed up with an $11 billion order of 30 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, the first wide-body aircraft in its fleet. Together, the sales marked a significant win for Virginia-based Boeing Co. on the first day of the air show, as airlines appear poised for even more billion-dollar deals this year.
Emirates made the announcement witnessed by the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, at an afternoon news conference. Emirates CEO and Chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said the deal would see the carrier purchase 90 Boeing 777 aircraft, 55 of them 777-9 variants and 35 of them 777-8s.
Emirates will also add an additional five 787 Dreamliners to its previous order of 30 aircraft, Sheikh Saeed said.
“This is a long-term commitment that supports hundreds of thousands of jobs, not only at Boeing but also throughout the global aviation supply chain,” he said. “The 777 is at the center of Emirates’ strategy to connect cities on all continents nonstop to Dubai.”
Stan Deal, an executive vice president at Boeing, praised the deal. | aerospace |

- Colonizing Mars
- Internet Satellites
- Affordable Space Travel
Elon Musk’s Ideas for the Future Elon Musk has blown up in popularity this year for being the owner of the companies SpaceX, Tesla, Paypal, and many other famous companies. His main goal is to revolutionize transportation on Earth and even in space! With a net worth of 22 billion dollars, he is very important today. His approach to the 21st century is to go straight for what he wants, even if it seems impossible. The way Elon thinks of things is what seems impossible is a possibility to him which is where he thinks of these ideas.
The Hyperloop is perhaps one of the most futuristic of his ideas. The goal for the Hyperloop is to be able to travel at extremely high speeds in a tunnel to get to somewhere like San Francisco from Los Angeles in 30 minutes. The Hyperloop is supposed to top out at about 700 mph. It has completed a successful test already but designs are still in the making for it. Something going this fast on the ground can be revolutionary for transportation, and the cost is going to be low too.
Colonizing Mars has to be the most ambitious thing Elon Musk wants to do. His first stage of executing this plan was to make a greenhouse on the planet. According to Musk, lush foliage would “Reignite the thirst for space travel and restore funding to major institutions like NASA. Musk knows that the problem with executing this plan would be the cost of transport, but this problem is also getting resolved by him. He expects his company, SpaceX, to be able to commence the colonization plants sometime in the 2030s and have a colony on Mars set up by 2040. TrustedReviews.com states that “If we have a linear improvement in technology, as opposed to logarithmic, then we should have a significant base on Mars, perhaps with thousands or tens of thousands of people”. The first batch of people that are going to travel will need to pay their own way to Mars at a pricey cost of $500,000, but 2030 isn’t for another 11 years.
Elon Musk wants low-cost and unfettered internet access for all people to have. He means to do this by launching satellites into space. SpaceX is in the early creation stages of producing over 700 micro-satellites that can work together and make formations by grouping together. Each satellite will weigh 250 pounds, but the price totals out at 1 billion dollars each, so it might take a while. Reportedly, Musk is working with other companies to get this big project done.
Affordable Space Travel
SpaceX was to become a private space transport company. One of their overall goals was to dramatically decrease the price of space travel by a factor of 100. From this, it could kickstart possibilities of citizens being able to travel through space. In 2008, SpaceX was the first company to have a privately funded, liquid fuelled craft to orbit Earth. Also in 2010, they were the first to recover a launched spacecraft. Finally, SpaceX also launched cargo and docked it to the I.S.S. All of these, were on the lower end of prices for space travel which is why SpaceX was nominated to send human cargo to the I.S.S.
This may only be the start for Elon and all of his companies. Expect much more of these ideas to come up from him in the future. | aerospace |

As it continues its enviable growth in the smartphone market, Xiaomi is silently expanding its footprints in the nascent space of drones too. The Chinese giant back in 2016 brought its Mi Drone to take on DJI’s Phantom series. And now, it has launched portable drone under its MiTU sub-brand that offers First-Person View (FPV) and HD (720p) video recording at an as affordable price as CNY 399 (approximately Rs. 4,200). The new Xiaomi drone will go on sale in China starting April 26. However, details about its availability and price in other markets are yet to be revealed.
The Xiaomi MiTU drone has a compact quadcopter build and a one-piece frame that includes four wheelbases – each comes with a height of 11 centimetres – and weighs 88 grams, reports GizmoChina. The body of the drone is said to be made of modified Polypropylene (PP) plastic, which resists drops. There are also glass fibre-made propeller blades that are likely to endure mild shocks.
For capturing stills at a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels and recording HD videos, there is a front-mounted camera. There is also a plethora of sensors, including a barometer, optical flow sensor, and an ultrasonic sensor. These sensors help enable features such as precision hovers using the Altitude Hold function and 360-degree Air Tumbling.
The drone additionally includes modes such as headless mode, gravity sensing, palm take off, and four-way rolling.
Under the hood, the MiTu drone is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM. It also has 5.8GHz high-frequency signal Wi-Fi support. The drone is capable of flying as high as 25 metres and cover a maximum distance of 50 metres. However, there is a 920mAh battery that can last for merely 10 minutes on a single charge.
GearBest has started taking pre-orders for the Xiaomi MiTU drone at a pre-sale price of $79 (around Rs. 5,300) with shipments expected between April 29 and May 2. | aerospace |

Russian aircraft manufacturer Ilyushin has unveiled designs for a new enormous military transport aircraft that could carry seven tanks (or up to 200 tons) on board at supersonic speeds of over 1,200 miles per hour to places up to 4,000 miles away. Those sorts of speeds are never achieved by bulky transporter craft - America's largest military transport plane has a top speed of 518 miles per hour, for example - so quite how Russia plans to achieve them remains to be seen.The future aircraft has a the sort of sleek design we’re more used to seeing on stealth jets, but it’s much larger. It’s currently only at the concept stage, but Russia’s Military-Industrial Commission wants a fleet of 80 of the planes ready for service by 2024.
The idea is that the aircraft could lift tanks to anywhere in the world in record time. The project is being developed by aviation company Ilyushin. The technical designs are based on the Il-106 cargo plane (80 tons) project that won a government tender in the late 1980s, but was abandoned after the collapse of the Soviet Union. | aerospace |

It's difficult to tell yet whether this will be an environmental win until we know more about the specs.
This Quora suggests that the positives might not be quite as dramatic as hoped.
Part of Amazon's planned Prime Air Delivery service, the new drone is larger than the previous version and has a more advanced design, including the ability to apparently operate with an autoloading system that sets the payload inside an internal carrier bay. Unlike the previous drone, which was a quadcopter, this one has a hybrid design that combines vertical lift and horizontal flight capabilities using lift fans and a pusher prop. Amazon hasn't given out too many details as to specs, but the drone is capable of flying at an altitude of about 400 ft (122 m) at about 55 mph (88 km/h) for a range of 15 mi (24 km). It has sense-and-avoid situational awareness technology, so it can identify and avoid obstacles in the air and while taking off and landing. | aerospace |

The term is used to describe a discounted private jet charter flight. When a private jet has been hired to perform a flight from A to B and needs to get back to A or fly onto C to perform its next flight, these flights are flown without any passengers on board and can be purchased at a significant discount compared to a full private jet charter price as the plane needs to travel regardless.
Empty legs can offer a reduction of up to 75% off the full charter rate rate, the actual cost will depend on the route you wish to fly and where the aircraft is planning to travel to. The highest savings can be had when you fly on the full or pure empty legs as there is minimal additional cost involved. However, is it possible to change the routing at a small additional fee for the extra flying that the plane would need to do. If you are a little flexible, an empty leg flight can be a great way of accessing private jet travel at a fraction of the cost.
dBB Aviation has access to 1,000’s of empty legs worldwide across its global network of over 7,500 aircraft giving you the most competitive empty legs on the private jet charter market.
If you have any questions on how empty legs work or if they would be right for you, why not speak with one of your private jet charter experts for further details on +44 (0)20 396 00123 or firstname.lastname@example.org.

Quickstep, a leading independent carbon fiber composites manufacturer in Australia, has developed a cutting-edge, patented process called Qure that it hopes will bring aerospace composites production cycle times closer to rates typical for sports and luxury cars.
The new technology has already been used with success to produce the chassis for a lightweight X-ray machine and carbon fiber fenders for a European sports car manufacturer. Now, Quickstep is adapting the process for aerospace applications. Quickstep collaborates with the world’s leading aerospace organizations to manufacture complex composite parts and assemblies for ‘build to print’ applications. At the moment it produces these parts with defined products and processes, but it hopes its proposed AeroQure solution will reduce aerospace composites production cycle times. Quickstep also believes its technology could be an ideal production solution for drones and eVTOL (electric vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft.
As Quickstep continuously innovates to distinguish itself in the market, it is also committed to modernizing its internal processes and workflows to operate as efficiently as possible.
“While AeroQure may be one of the enablers of efficient manufacturing in the future, we need to ensure that we produce composites competitively now, and that we don’t cease to continuously improve,” said David Doral, CTO and head of engineering at Quickstep. “A lean culture is paramount, further enhanced with technology and innovation to enable change.”
To bring its digitalized and paperless workplace vision to life, Quickstep has turned to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to streamline its engineering and production processes and ease compliance with the strictest industry standards.

Just 15 years separated the launch of the first satellite and the return of the last man from the moon, years in which anything seemed possible. But having won the space race, America saw no benefit in carrying on. Instead it developed a space shuttle meant to make getting to orbit cheap, reliable and routine. More than 100 shuttle flights between 1981 to 2011 went some way to realising the last of those goals, despite two terrible accidents. The first two were never met. Getting into space remained a risky and hideously expensive proposition, taken up only by governments and communications companies, each for their own reasons. ... New rockets, though, are not the only exciting development. The expense of getting into space during the 1980s and 1990s led some manufacturers to start shrinking the satellites used for some sorts of mission, creating “smallsats”. Since then the amount a given size of satellite can do has been boosted by developments in computing and electronics. This has opened up both new ways of doing old jobs and completely novel opportunities. ... No single technology ties together this splendid gaggle of ambitions. But there is a common technological approach that goes a long way to explaining it; that of Silicon Valley. Even if for now most of the money being spent in space remains with old government programmes and incumbent telecom providers, space travel is moving from the world of government procurement and aerospace engineering giants to the world of venture-capital-funded startups and business plans that rely on ever cheaper services provided to ever more customers.
The ambition to create the version of the F-35 that I watched on the tarmac at Patuxent River—one that can make short takeoffs and vertical landings—was what got the fighter jet’s development under way in the 1980s. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), the Pentagon’s tech arm, began working at the Marine Corps’ behest on an improved version of the Harrier, a crash-prone vertical-landing jet of British design. According to a Pentagon history of the F-35, Darpa quietly sought assistance from a research and development arm of Lockheed Martin known as the Skunk Works. By the early 1990s, the Darpa-Skunk Works collaboration had produced preliminary concepts, and the Marine Corps began pressing Congress for funding. The Air Force and Navy insisted that they, too, needed stealthy, supersonic fighters to replace aging Cold War-era models. Out of this clamoring grew a consensus that the only way to afford thousands of cutting-edge fighters was to build a basic model that could be customized for each service. ... The degree of commonality among the three versions of the F-35—the shared features—turned out to be not the anticipated 70 percent but a mere 25 percent, meaning that hoped-for economies of scale never materialized. A pattern of continual reengineering resulted in billions of dollars in cost overruns and yearslong delays. | aerospace |

Battery and associated systems provider Electro Energy Inc. recently announced a new contract award from A&D manufacturer Lockheed Martin the development of Very High Specific Energy Battery Cells for use in the High Altitude Airship (HAA) program.
Lockheed Martin's Defense and Surveillance Systems business, based in Akron, OH, contracted Electro Energy to develop an advanced, light-weight, rechargeable lithium ion battery to help power the HAA, an unmanned, lighter-than-air vehicle that will operate in a geostationary position to provide an array of communication and navigation services for both civilian and military purposes. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor for the HAA.
"Very high specific energy rechargeable storage technology is a key to enabling stratospheric airships like HAA to stay aloft for many months at a time," said Stavros Androulakakis, Lockheed Martin's HAA program and technical manager. "Electro Energy's advanced rechargeable lithium-ion battery is an example of what is possible with recent developments in the practical application of nanotechnology."

It had been abandoned in space since its launch seven years ago.
It wasn’t planned, but SpaceX will finally land on the Moon this year…although not in one piece. The second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket will land on the lunar surface in March, according to astronomers who have recalculated the trajectory of the machine, abandoned in space since its launch seven years ago. The rocket was used in 2015 to orbit a climate observation satellite on Earth, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR). Since then, the spacecraft’s second stage has been floating through the cosmos in an orbit called “chaotic” by mathematicians because it’s hard to predict, astronomer Bill Gray, who was the first to notice the new trajectory, told AFP on Wednesday.
The object passed very close to the Moon in early January, which changed its orbit, detailed the creator of “Project Pluto”, a software for calculating the trajectories of asteroids and other objects, used by NASA-funded observation programs. A week later, the expert managed to observe the rocket piece again and realized that it was supposed to collide with the far side of the Moon on March 4.
After appealing to amateur astronomers to make additional observations, the data was confirmed. The spacecraft will hit the lunar surface at over 9,000 km/h. The precise time and location can still change by a few minutes and kilometers, due to the unpredicted effect on this hollow cylinder of sunlight, which noticeably pushes it along.
The rocket phase can be observed again in early February, and the estimate refined. But the collision is certain. “I’ve been tracking space junk like this for about 15 years, and this is the first unintentional lunar impact” detected, said Bill Gray.
Regulate wasted space
According to astronomer Jonathan McDowell, it is possible that similar impacts have occurred in the past, without our knowledge. “There are at least 50 objects left in deep space in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, just left there without tracking,” he told AFP. Today’s sightings haven’t found them all. “It’s likely that some hit the moon accidentally,” he said.
Next March, the explosion of this approximately four-ton object will not be visible from Earth when it occurs. But it should cause a crater that could be observed by scientists later, in particular by NASA’s LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) or the Indian one, called Chandrayaan-2, and thus make it possible to learn more about lunar geology.
Ships have been intentionally launched to the Moon for scientific purposes in the past, such as during the Apollo missions to test seismographs. In 2009, NASA sent a second-stage rocket to crash into an area near the lunar south pole to study the presence of water. Many of SpaceX’s rockets are launched less far, which often allows the second stage to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere, where it disintegrates above the ocean. The first floor is recovered and reused. But these unplanned lunar impacts could multiply in the future, according to Bill Gray, in particular because of the objects that American or Chinese lunar programs will leave behind. The United States wants to build a station in orbit around the Moon. These events “will start to be problematic when there is more traffic,” Jonathan McDowell pointed out.
Today, “it is nobody’s job to follow the trajectory of the waste we leave in deep space”, recalled the expert. “It’s time to start regulating it.” When contacted, SpaceX did not respond to AFP. Elon Musk’s company is currently developing the lander that should allow NASA to return Americans to the Moon before 2025. | aerospace |

OSTP directs federal departments and agencies to align their planning and policies with this memorandum.
“The approach to establish time standards consists of the definition, development, and implementation of a distinct reference time at each celestial body and its surrounding space environment. Each new time standard developed will include the following features:
1. Traceability to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC); 2. Accuracy sufficient to support precision navigation and science; 3. Resilience to loss of contact with Earth; and 4. Scalability to space environments beyond the Earth-Moon system Federal agencies will develop celestial time standardization with an initial focus on the lunar surface and missions operating in Cislunar space, with sufficient traceability to support missions to other celestial bodies. NASA will, in coordination with the Departments of Commerce, Defense, State, and Transportation, provide a finalized strategy to the Executive Office of the President to implement lunar timing standardization no later than December 31, 2026,” says a memo from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. | aerospace |

Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, and Christina Koch of NASA will travel together with Jeremy Hansen of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) on a trip around the moon, potentially reaching the farthest point any human has flown into space.
As part of a mission called Artemis II, the quartet of astronauts will follow a similar path in their Orion spacecraft that an unoccupied capsule took last fall when Orion and NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) blasted off on an inaugural test flight.
The mission will last approximately 10 days, during which the crew will not land on the moon, but instead follow a trajectory that allows Orion and its European-built service module to conduct multiple maneuvers that will raise and lower its orbit throughout the mission, with the craft ultimately relying on Earth’s gravity to pull the astronauts home after they fly around the moon.
The launch is targeted for late 2024, with Wiseman serving as the mission’s commander, Glover the pilot, and Koch and Hansen as mission specialists. This mission will also mark the first time that a Canadian has ventured to the moon and back.
“Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy, each of these adventurers has their own story. But together, they represent our creed: E pluribus unum — out of many, one,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said. “Together, we will usher in a new era of exploration for a new generation of star sailors and dreamers — the Artemis Generation.”
The flight will mark the first time that both the SLS and the Orion spacecraft will fly a crew. As such, this is a precursor to Artemis III and Artemis IV, which will culminate with astronauts walking on the lunar surface sometime this decade. But before they can do that, the crew of Artemis II has to put the vehicles through their paces and ensure that Orion can safely transport crew to the moon and back.
During its test flight in 2022, both the SLS and the Orion capsule performed as expected. NASA praised its newest rocket system for checking off its intended tasks in record time and even added some secondary objectives while the craft was still in lunar orbit.
The Artemis II crew will fly within 6,479 miles of the lunar surface and travel more than 6,000 miles beyond the far side of the moon. This will mark the farthest any human has traveled in space. While on their journey, the crew will manually pilot the Orion spacecraft and enjoy what promises to be stunning views of the Earth and the moon from the windows of Orion.
After the mission’s objectives are carried out, which include testing the life support, communications and navigations systems while in lunar orbit, the mission will end with Orion splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. This will ensure future crews have the ability to communicate and navigate home.
A successful Artemis II mission will set the stage for the first mission in more than 50 years to return humans to the moon.
The crews for those two missions have yet to be announced, but now that the Artemis II astronauts have been selected, the crews can start training.
The Artemis II astronauts were selected out of NASA’s corps of 41 active astronauts. All three members from NASA have flown in space before, with Wiseman being the most experienced. In fact, he stepped down as the head of the astronaut office last year with many speculating as a sign he wanted to be on this very mission.
“There are three words that we keep saying in the Artemis program and they are, ‘We are going.’ And I want everyone to say them,” Wiseman said during the announcement.
Both Glover and Koch each have one spaceflight under their belts, with Koch having completed an extended mission in space — 328 days, the most for a female astronaut — during which she was part of the first all-female spacewalk. Glover flew in 2021 as part of SpaceX’s Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station.
“We have a lot to celebrate and it’s so much more than the four names that have been announced,” Glover said. “We need to celebrate this moment in human history because Artemis II is more than a mission to the moon and it’s more than a mission that has to happen before we send people to the surface of the moon. It is the next step on the journey that gets humanity to Mars.”
“Human spaceflight is like a relay race and the baton has been passed generation to generation and from crew member to crew member, from the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, Mir, space shuttle, International Space Station, commercial crew and and now the Artemis missions. And we understand our role in that. When we have the privilege of having that baton, we are going to do our best to run a good race to make you proud,” he said.
When Hansen straps into the Orion spacecraft, it will be his first space flight. His seat is part of an agreement between the U.S. and Canada, where Canada will provide and operate a robotic arm as part of the lunar gateway — a mini space station in lunar orbit.
“There are two reasons why a Canadian is going to the moon that makes me smile,” said Hansen. “The first one is American leadership. It is not lost on any of us that the United States could choose to go back to the moon by themselves. But America has made a very deliberate choice over the decades to curate a global team and that in my definition is true leadership.”
“The second reason is Canada’s can-do attitude,” he said.
The announcement was made at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where Vanessa Wyche, the center’s director, kicked off the announcement. The details of the selection process were not revealed, but according to Wyche, “they all have the right stuff” and are all “the best of humanity.” | aerospace |

The exchanges, conducted regularly throughout the year, involve U.S. Airmen sharing best practices and procedures to build partnerships and promote interoperability with partner-nations throughout South America, Central America and the Caribbean.
The Texas Guard and Chile have shared a State Partnership Program relationship since 2008.
The exchanges will include discussions and demonstrations on C-130 maintenance and operations, F-16 maintenance and operations, human medical factors in aviation, parachuting procedures, military civil engineering and providing medical support in a deployed area.
Many of this year's events with the Chilean air force are scheduled to take place in or near Santiago from late March to early April.
"Participating in these exchanges solidifies our partnerships in the region and makes us better Airmen," said Col. Steve Pedrotty, the 12th AF (AFSOUTH) team lead and an F-16 pilot. "Both sides gain from the experience, and by the end we are also more prepared to work together in case of situations that call for humanitarian assistance or some type of disaster relief."
While U.S. Airmen are in Chile for these exchanges, they will also host the static displays of U.S. aircraft being used in the events during the FIDAE airshow. | aerospace |

- Two Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers collided in mid-air during a training event over the Strait of Tartary near Japan, Russian media reported on Friday.
- A rescue helicopter has recovered one pilot while efforts continue to save others.
- Russia grounded all Su-34 flights as a result.
Two Russian Su-34 fighter-bombers collided in mid-air during a training event over the Strait of Tartary near Japan, Russian media reported on Friday.
A rescue helicopter has recovered one pilot while efforts continue to save others. Russian media quoting Russia's Ministry of Defense carried conflicting reports saying that the pilots ejected and that one of the jets may have managed to stay airborne.
However, all news from Russia indicates one of the fighter-bombers crashed into the Sea of Japan.
The Sukhoi Su-34 Fullback represents one of Russia's newer and more advanced fighter aircraft. It has two-seats, so the crash likely involved four people. The fighter-bomber has a maximum range of 2,485 miles, and a payload of up to 26,455 pounds, or 12 missiles under the wings.
The Su-34 jets have seen extensive use in Syria after being introduced into service in mid-2014.

Following the Friday morning collision, Russia has grounded flights of all Su-34s.
In September, the US grounded all F-35 flights after one of the jets crashed in South Carolina.

Although some areas inside Russia can be viewed in 2018, most of eastern Ukraine is on average a year behind. However as these images show, despite the year long time lag, there’s still lots to see.
Probably a legacy of when part of Russia, Ukraine has lots of small and remote airfields spread across the country. These would have been used by light aircraft and helicopters. Today many of them lie disused, nature slowly reclaiming their concrete runways and parking areas. Relatively close to the Russian border, one such airfield is located near the launch site of the Russian BUK missile which downed flight MH17.
Sept 21st 2015.
On the airfield, 2015 images show Russian tanks, trucks, military vehicles and a new building/tent. What’s interesting is the cleared circle area (marked red), and the large number of vehicle tracks. This may indicate Russian military helicopters used it.
2015 saw some of the most intense fighting inside Ukraine. Russian forces were pushing deep into the country, but finding Ukrainian resistance stiffening by the day. Russian military helicopters would almost certainly have been used for the rapid evacuation of badly wounded Russian soldiers. Remote and far away enough away from the front line and Ukrainian anti-aircraft systems, this airfield would have been ideal. Satellite images after 2015 don’t indicate any use by Russian forces.
Sept 12th 2015.
July 2010. Airfield becoming overgrown. Note helicopter landing pad marked out in top area.

To reach its goals, NASA is partnering with commercial companies and laying the groundwork for what could become a massive space industry.
The space industry is expected to take off in the next five to seven years as commercial companies invest in low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, outer space data analysis, manufacturing and energy production. NASA has partnered with multiple commercial space companies to advance the space industry -- two of which include SpaceX and Blue Origin -- to build landing pads for the moon's surface as part of its Artemis program, which aims to establish a long-term presence on the moon.
There are already many avenues for commercial businesses to invest in the space industry, with more on the horizon as entities like NASA push further into outer space, said Col. Pamela Melroy, NASA deputy administrator. Melroy spoke during the Space Innovation Summit Tuesday hosted by America's Future Series, an organization that offers speaker series on issues affecting U.S. global competitiveness.
Col. Pamela MelroyDeputy administrator, NASA
"Through investments that NASA and others have made, we have built an amazing commercial space industry capable of doing extraordinary things," she said.
Emerging space industry opportunities
NASA's work to build public and private partnerships has been a significant enabler of U.S. and international commercial investments in outer space, said André Pienaar, founder and CEO of C5 Capital, during the summit.
Additionally, he said work that commercial companies including SpaceX have done to reduce rocket launch costs has been "transformative" for space investment.
"We're at the beginning of the democratization of space," he said.
NASA's work to build out access to the moon is leading commercial companies to become interested in space tourism, including through building commercial space stations, Melroy said.
"There are four companies NASA has partnered with that are interested in building commercial low-Earth orbit destinations -- that's commercial space stations, which we hope will be ready in about five or six years," she said.
Melroy added that as interest in building space stations and other outer space infrastructure increases, so will job opportunities for skilled manufacturers. Indeed, Ajay Malshe, professor of mechanical, agricultural and biological engineering at Purdue University, said during the summit that resilient and sustainable operations will be critical in outer space, as it is in other extreme environments like offshore oil drilling.
"Manufacturing, assembling and servicing in space is an important part of operating in space," he said.
Melroy said space law is another rising industry that will need significant investment in the coming years. Space isn't governed by any overarching laws, and the U.S. isn't the only country interested in developing a space industry.
As part of the Artemis program, 27 countries have signed the Artemis Accords to provide guiding principles for cooperating in space.
"As we go forward, we should have some agreements about how we're going to behave toward each other," Melroy said. "Principles like transparency, sharing data, not interfering with each other and ensuring space is available to all. Those are the principles that are embodied in the Artemis Accords."

Titanium has been recognized as an element (Symbol Ti; atomic number 22; and atomic weight 47.9) for at least 200 years. However, commercial production of titanium did not begin until the 1950’s. At that time, titanium was recognized for its strategic importance as a unique lightweight, high strength alloyed, structurally efficient metal for critical, high-performance aircraft, such as jet engine and airframe components. The worldwide production of this originally exotic, “Space Age” metal and its alloys has since grown to more than 50 million pounds annually. | aerospace |

- To give students practical experience of designing things to go into Space and visit other planets.
- To get students to consider careers in the UK Space and other high tech industries.
The aim is to test anything that humans or robots will be doing on Mars in the future.
In 2015 we plan to launch 100 experiment capsules on high altitude balloons 30km up into the Earth’s atmosphere, a place where conditions of gas pressure, temperature and radiation are very similar to the surface of Mars.
This project is open to any school in the UK. There is no cost to take part in the project other than that of experiment materials and postage.
Early March 2015: Announcement of mid-June launch opportunity. Information packs sent out to registered teachers. [Applications for 2015 are now closed, you can now register for 2017]
12th June 2015: Deadline for delivery of experiments for the June flight.
Mid-late June 2015: Launch, recovery and return of the 100 experiments.
[Please note launch times are weather dependent]
What to expect
Please read the information pack which contains everything you need to know to get your students to make Mars experiments that can fly on our balloons, including:
- Information on exploring Mars and its surface environment;
- A complete list of rules that experiments must satisfy to be allowed to fly;
- Career advice for students who want to work in Space and related industries;
- Ideas for experiments;
Using the information pack your students can work to together to create Mars experiments, that fit inside a Kinder Egg capsule™, which you post to us so we can include them in the launch. Previous examples of experiments include testing the effect of Martian conditions on rubber bands, ink, memory sticks and 3D printed materials.
During the launch the balloon will ascend to 30km in approximately one hour where it will burst and the experiment tray will return to Earth via parachute. We will then collect the experiments and return them to your school for your students to analyse the results.
Pictures and video of your experiments in flight will be made available soon after landing.
Watch the video below of our latest flight, Elysium, to see what you can expect from participating!
Quotes from students
I enjoyed the MarsBalloon project, as it hooked me into space. It helped me to think how life will be in space and I crave to be an astronaut! I enjoyed thinking how the experiments would react in space and make my own predictions.
The project was a wonderful experience for me as it helped me in science to start thinking more about scientists and what they do. We have questions, especially me, and I would like to find the answers and I got encouraged to find out more. I would love to be an astronaut in future! We also got our answer on the sim card, knowing it will definitely work for scientists in space. In that way, we helped them! | aerospace |

NASA’s Space Launch System rocket measures 322-feet, or 98 meters. It’s poised to send an empty crew capsule into lunar orbit, a half-century after NASA’s Apollo program, which landed 12 astronauts on the moon.
The six-week long test flight should prove successful and astronauts will be back on the moon within a few more years. NASA officials warn that there are risks and the flight may be cut short.
Three test dummies, instead of astronauts are fastened to the Orion capsule. They measure acceleration, vibration and radiation. This is one of the greatest dangers to humankind in deep space. More than 1,000 sensors are contained in the capsule.
Officials said Sunday that neither the rocket nor capsule suffered any damage during Saturday’s thunderstorm; ground equipment also was unaffected. Five lightning strikes were confirmed, hitting the 600-foot (183-meter) towers surrounding the rocket at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The strikes weren’t strong enough to warrant major retesting.
“Clearly, the system worked as designed,” said Jeff Spaulding, NASA’s senior test director.
Storms are expected to increase. Forecasters predicted that Monday’s weather would be acceptable, with 80 percent of the forecasters predicting storms. However, it was possible for conditions to worsen during the launch window.
Spaulding indicated that technical issues were addressed by Spaulding, who said that team members did their best in the months past to fix any fuel leakage problems. A pair of countdown tests earlier this year prompted repairs to leaking valves and other faulty equipment; engineers won’t know if all the fixes are good until just a few hours before the planned liftoff.
After so many years of delays and setbacks, the launch team was thrilled to finally be so close to the inaugural flight of the Artemis moon-exploration program, named after Apollo’s twin sister in Greek mythology.
“We’re within 24 hours of launch right now, which is pretty amazing for where we’ve been on this journey,” Spaulding told reporters.
Four astronauts would fly around the moon on Artemis, the follow-on flight that could be launched as soon as 2024. The landing of the astronauts could occur in 2025. NASA is targeting the moon’s unexplored south pole, where permanently shadowed craters are believed to hold ice that could be used by future crews.

Abstract: Farrell JL. (2013). Collision avoidance by speed change. International Journal of Unmanned Systems Engineering. 1(1): 1-8. With UAV usage increasing at rapid rates, a corresponding increase in attention to collision avoidance is clearly warranted. A strategy introduced more than ten years ago, being pursued in an investigation by Ohio University with NASA sponsorship, is supported by programming efforts that address dangerous scenarios. For aircraft that would collide if allowed to remain in their existing flight paths, conflict resolution can be provided by changing speed. Results are provided herein for a variety of conditions. The method requires no large budgets, nor new inventions; existing equipment (GPS/GNSS, ModeS) is sufficient with extension of known techniques (double differencing) to tracking. The approach offers enormous advantages in safety, versatility, autonomy, and all aspects of aircraft navigation performance. The theory has already been described in references cited; presentation of computational results here is followed by operational considerations. Preliminary flight testing recently reported elsewhere (Duan, Uijt de Haag, and Farrell; DASC 12, October 2012, Williamsburg, VA) raised prospects for reducing uncertainty volume (predicted position at time of closest approach) from hundreds of meters (due to m/s velocity uncertainty) to a few meters (from cm/s velocity accuracy).

Later the use of safety analysis has spread widely to other industrial branches. General systems theory, accident theories and scientific management represent domains that have influenced the development of safety analysis. These relations are shortly presented and the common methods employed in safety analysis are described and structured according to the aim of the search and to the search strategy. A framework for the evaluation of the coverage of the search procedures employed in different methods of safety analysis is presented. The framework is then used in an heuristic and in an empiric evaluation of hazard and operability study (HAZOP), work safety analysis (WSA), action error analysis (AEA) and management oversight and risk tree (MORT). Finally, some recommendations on the use of safety analysis for preventing accidents are presented.

Tests showed the first mission for the year was ready, and the weather for Monday night was clear. So, the company launched 60 Starlink communications satellites from the Space Coast. The satellites joined the other 60 samallsats that were launched last year on Nov. 11 during Mission 1.
Starlink satellites will provide better internet service, and SpaceX plans to fill Earth’s Low Orbit with as much as 12,000 satellites by the mid-2020s. The ultimate plan is to reach a superconstellation of 42,000 smallsats. Only 1,600 of these satellites will be at 550 km distance from the ground, 2,800 (Ku- and Ka-band spectrum satellites) will be at 1,150 km distance, and 7,500 (V-band satellites) will be at 340 km.
After the first 800 satellites reach the Earth’s Low Orbit and get activated, Starlink will become fully operational, stated the company. For them to reach this number, SpaceX will need to perform a dozen more launches using its SpaceX Falcon 9.
SpaceX Launch Details and More
For Monday’s launch – Mission 2, SpaceX used a Falcon 9 B5 rocket and a first-stage booster that has been used in three previous missions (B1049.4). B1049.4’s previous mission was to launch the first 60 Starlink satellites from the same launch site in May 2019. Its first mission was in September 2018 when it launched the Telstar 18 VANTAGE communications satellite, and the second mission was in January 2019 when it launched 10 Iridium voice and data relay satellites from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
Monday’s launch started at 9:19 p.m. EST (02:19 GMT, Tuesday). The liftoff of Mission 2 was from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The 60 v1.0 smallsats will be sent to 500 km in the Low Earth Orbit, joining the other 122 Starlink smallsats that are already there.
After the successful launch, SpaceX plans to recover the first-stage booster B1049.4 and the payload fairing with their spaceport drone ships that are currently at the landing zone in the Atlantic Ocean. | aerospace |

This article authored by: Rob Hallberg
If you live in the Tucson area, you are probably no stranger to the Aircraft “Boneyard” on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. “Boneyard”, of course, refers to the large number of aircraft that sit in storage at Davis-Monthan.
The “Boneyard” is under the command of the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) , which is the sole aircraft boneyard and parts reclamation facility for all excess government and military aircraft. AMARG is also responsible for converting old fighter jets, such as the F-4 Phantom, into aerial target drones (As an aside, it’s a little sad for me to hear of their retirement. I remember when they were first brought into service and National Geographic published a photo showing the F-4 and all of its armament).
Many of the aircraft are visible on the West side of Kolb Road just North of Irvington. The planes are visible all the way to Escalante, and if you take a left there you can see them on the south side of Escalante. AMARG’s typical inventory comprises more than 4,400 aircraft which makes it the largest storage and preservation facility in the world.
Calling it a “Boneyard” is somewhat of a misnomer, as the name implies a cemetery or where planes go to “die”. But some of these planes may be returned to active service. AMARG classifies each aircraft according to its potential and future use:
Type 1000: These aircraft are set up for long-term storage, as they have a high potential for being returned to service and no parts may be removed from them.
Type 2000: These aircraft are used primarily for parts to keep other planes in service.
Type 3000: These aircraft are on a “flying hold” and are kept in near flyable condition for transfer to another unit or sale to another country.
Type 4000: These are excess aircraft which may be gutted for spare parts and eventually sold, broken down into scrap and recycled.
Tours of the Boneyard are held during the week but not on the weekends due to Base Gate Restrictions. During peak season (1/15 through 4/15), tours start at 10:00am, 11:30am, 1:30pm and 3:00pm. Tickets are $7.00 for Adults and $4.00 for Children under 13. They may be purchased online and here is a link for more information: Boneyard/AMARG Tour.

Every time America gets a new president, NASA undergoes an upheaval. The agency gets new leadership, and sometimes major programs get cut.
Donald Trump’s plans for NASA are still largely up-in-the-air (well, maybe except for its climate change research, which is probably in trouble), but one thing seems certain: the partnerships that the space agency has been developing with private companies won’t suffer during a Trump administration. Yesterday, the president-elect appointed private space advocate and businessman Charles Miller to the NASA transition team.
Miller formerly advised NASA on its strategies for working with the commercial space industry. He co-founded NanoRacks, a company that helps others conduct research on the International Space Station, among other services. Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and the European Space Agency are on the company’s list of clients. Miller is also the president of the consulting company NextGen Space LLC, and has a host of other qualifications.

NASA’s Next Stop—Mars or the Moon?
Possessed of slight build and modest height, John Grunsfeld is not an imposing man. But this appearance belies a brilliant mind and a considerable resume. A quarter-century ago, Grunsfeld worked as a physicist at the California Institute of Technology, studying X-ray and gamma ray astronomy, before becoming an astronaut. He flew in space five times and made three trips to the Hubble Space Telescope where he performed eight spacewalks to repair and upgrade the iconic instrument.
In 2012, Grunsfeld assumed responsibility for all of NASA’s science missions. He oversaw the dramatic landing of Curiosity on the surface of Mars, and he was in charge during the exploration of Pluto. He wrangled the James Webb Space Telescope toward the launch pad, and he plotted a pair of ambitious flights to Jupiter’s moon Europa.
On a gray day in early December, I met Grunsfeld—who left NASA earlier this year—at a Starbucks across the street from Johnson Space Center. In the shadow of the buildings where he spent nearly 20 years training to fly in space, we spoke for two hours about all areas of spaceflight, from the intriguing oceans of Europa to human destinations.

SAIC Recommends Civil Agency for Orbital Traffic Management, But Not Which One
In a report for NASA required by the Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act (CSLCA), SAIC is recommending that a civil government agency take responsibility for orbital traffic management, but it does not specify which agency that should be. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and its parent, the Department of Transportation (DOT), are often the center of attention in orbital — or space — traffic management discussions, but SAIC explained that the terms of reference for its study did not ask for such a recommendation.
Section 109 of CSLCA makes a sense of Congress statement that an “improved framework” may be needed for “space traffic management” of U.S. government and private sector assets in outer space and orbital debris mitigation. It then directs that NASA, in consultation with DOT, DOD, the FCC, and the Department of Commerce, contract with an independent systems engineering and technical assistance organization to “study alternate frameworks for the management of space traffic and orbital activities.” It goes on to specify what the study should consider and asks for recommendations on “the appropriate framework for the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the public and economic vitality of the space industry.”

NASA Readies for Major Orion Milestones in 2017
From the beginning of assembly work on the Orion crew module at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to testing a range of the spacecraft systems, engineers made headway in 2016 in advance of the spacecraft’s 2018 mission beyond the moon.
A look at the important milestones that lie ahead in the next year give a glimpse into how NASA is pressing ahead to develop, build, test and fly the spacecraft that will enable human missions far into deep space.
The NASA and Lockheed Martin team at Kennedy spent much of 2016 integrating structural elements into the spacecraft, and then began incorporating critical systems such as avionics components and propulsion tubing. In the spring of 2017, computers in the Orion crew module for the spacecraft’s first mission with NASA’s Space Launch System will be turned on for the first time to verify the spacecraft can route power and send commands. It’s an essential integrated test that will verify Orion’s systems are connected and responding as planned.

Wind Tunnel Testing Underway for Next, More Powerful Version of NASA’s Space Launch System
As engines are fired, software written and hardware welded to prepare for the first flight of NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS), engineers are already running tests in supersonic wind tunnels to develop the next, more powerful version of the world’s most advanced launch vehicle capable of carrying humans to deep space destinations.
“Aeronautics leads the way in the design of a new rocket,” said Jeff Bland, SLS discipline lead engineer for Integrated Vehicle Structures & Environments at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. “The first leg any journey for spacecraft launched from Earth is a flight through our atmosphere.”
Manufacturing is well underway on the initial configuration of SLS. It is 322 feet tall and able to lift 70 metric tons (77 tons). For the first test flight of SLS, the rocket will carry an uncrewed Orion spacecraft beyond the moon and then return to Earth, deploying 13 small science and technology satellites in deep space during the journey.

Astronaut Piers Sellers Dies of Pancreatic Cancer
Former NASA astronaut Piers Sellers, a veteran of three Space Shuttle missions, died on Friday, Dec. 23, 2016, in Houston after more than a year of battling pancreatic cancer. He was 61.
Sellers was diagnosed in October 2015. He only revealed he was battling Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in January of this year (2016) in a New York Times column where he wrote he hoped to see solutions to climate change in his lifetime and would continue to work on climate research until he died. Overseeing scientists researching climate and weather, Sellers was serving as the deputy director of sciences and exploration at Goddard Space Flight Center. It was a position he held since 2011.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, the current head of the U.S. Space Agency, said in a statement that Sellers was dedicated to all forms of exploration.

China Claims Success with New ‘Reactionless Engine’ EmDrive
In what appears to be the latest breakthrough in space travel technology, China claims it has made a great leap forward with its ‘reactionless’ Electromagnetic Drive, or simply, EmDrive – an engine that uses only the power of electromagnetic radiation contained within a microwave cavity. The EmDrive flies in the face of physics – going against the law of conservation of movement; producing mechanical movement but without an exchange of matter.
Originally thought up by Roger Shawyer, the EmDrive is designed to have a microwave cavity which is asymmetrical, like a truncated cone shape. The narrower end of the cone should house an electromagnetic power source; namely a magnetron which would then expel microwaves, hitting the inside of the cavity. As these waves are contained, they bounce off the walls of the cavity and in doing so creating electromagnetic resonance.
By doing so, the EmDrive’s electromagnetic field creates a force that ‘pushes’ away from the larger end of the cone, creating thrust. This opposes the idea of the conventional engine which ejects mass from within to create thrust.

Proton Rocket’s Next Flight Moved Back to Next Year
The first launch of a Russian Proton rocket since June has been delayed until at least January to conduct additional checks on the three-stage booster and its Breeze M upper stage, Russian space officials said.
The rocket was supposed to take off Dec. 28 with the EchoStar 21 communications satellite for EchoStar Mobile Ltd., headquartered in Ireland, to provide mobile S-band connectivity for Internet phone and data users across Europe.
Managed by International Launch Services, the U.S.-based marketing and sales firm responsible for commercial Proton missions, the launch has been pushed back several times this year. The EchoStar 21 spacecraft was put into storage at its Space Systems/Loral factory in California after Proton rocket issues delayed its original launch date in early 2016.
The telecom satellite was shipped to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in November for a December launch. Technicians at Baikonur have fueled the more than 15,000-pound (6,871-kilogram) craft for flight, and then attached the satellite to its Breeze M upper stage and enclosed it within the Proton rocket’s payload fairing.

Team Indus Joins Google Lunar X-Prize Finalists, Astrobotic Drops Out
One of the prerequisites of staying in the Google Lunar XPRIZE (GLXP) is securing a contract with a launch service provider. India-based Team Indus has successfully done that by contracting with the manufacturer of the country’s PSLV rocket. At the same time, Astrobotic, the first team to secure a contract back in 2011, announced that it is dropping out of the competition after losing its launch window with SpaceX’s Falcon 9.
Astrobotic was quoted in Space News Magazine stating that the team doesn’t plan to rush into another launch opportunity and it would fly when ready. It is currently targeting a launch date sometime in 2019.
GLXP is a competition, started in 2007, to spur private development of low-cost spacecraft and launch systems to land robotic spacecraft on the Moon, travel 1,640 feet (500 meters), and transmit high-definition video and images back to Earth. Sixteen teams are competing as part of GLXP. First prize is $20 million. Second prize is $5 million.
In order to win the competition, teams must also gain 90 percent of their mission’s cost from private funding. As mentioned, GLXP teams have until the end of 2016 to announce a verified launch contract and until the end of 2017 to launch their mission.

UK’s First Muslim Astronaut Aims to Put Focus on Mental Health
For most people who go into space it is a dream come true, but for the man set to be the UK’s first Muslim astronaut his priority is making the world a better place. Hussain Manawer, 25, from Ilford, Essex, is due to blast off in 2018 after seeing off thousands of other entrants from more than 90 countries in a competition.
The poet, charity fundraiser and founder of his own creative agency dedicated his victory to everyone who has suffered mental health problems, and said he had an important mission in life.
“It’s never really been an ambition of mine [to go into space], but I felt I wasn’t contributing enough to the world,” he said. “I got to the point where I thought we are failing the world so much in so many different ways. When I saw the competition I thought: let me go for it, let me see what happens.

Technicians Prep Space Launch System Booster Structures for First Deep Space Mission
When NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), soars from its launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in 2018 with the Orion spacecraft, its powerful solid rocket boosters will generate more than 75 percent of the thrust at liftoff to help the massive launch vehicle escape Earth’s gravity. Several major structures of the five-segment solid rocket boosters — the largest ever built for flight — are being prepared for the rocket’s first mission with Orion.
SLS booster prime contractor Orbital ATK is performing the work for the first flight of the rocket at the Hangar AF complex at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, as well as at several other specialized facilities at the Kennedy Space Center. The large hangar and several support buildings provide the capabilities required to reuse previously flown booster flight hardware.

Christmas Solar Storm to Batter Earth as Flare Blasts from Massive Hole in the Sun
EARTH is being blasted by a flare soaring from a hole in the sun’s atmosphere — and it’s bringing huge geomagnetic storms with it. The Sun reports, the super-fast stream of solar wind hit the Earth’s magnetic field just in time for the winter solstice on Wednesday. And it’s whipped up a “moderately” strong geomagnetic storm that could last for several days, according to the US’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Geomagnetic storms are behind the awe-inspiring natural phenomenon the Northern Lights.

Meet a ‘Spacecraft Dressmaker’
Lien Pham sometimes thinks of herself as a “spacecraft dressmaker.” She’s been making thermal blankets at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, for 16 years. Just as clothing can be sewn too tight or too loose, thermal blankets – the glinting material each spacecraft is wrapped in to regulate its temperature – have to be cut to form. A thermal blanket has to provide just the right amount of heat – not too much and not too little – for the spacecraft to operate correctly.
Pham is a member of Flight Technicians Services, a group at JPL that contributes to all stages of spacecraft assembly. Her particular team, which designs and fabricates the protective thermal blankets, is called the shield shop.

From Outer Space to Inner Eye
Contact lenses, spectacles and eye implants are now being made more accurately thanks to research instruments flying on the International Space Station. With the competitive lens market offering increasingly complex products such as varifocal and high-definition contact lenses, precisely shaping a lens is critical.
Every lens must be thoroughly checked to ensure it has been made according to the patient’s prescription. Belgian company Lambda-X came up with a space-inspired device to do just that. A long-term partner of ESA, they converted an instrument they had developed for space use into a quality-control tool that has significantly improved the products.
Sitting at the end of the production line, it precisely checks the whole lens – including the inside. It can even inspect lenses that surgeons implant to improve the vision of patients with cataracts. “One of the biggest challenges when making any kind of lens is getting the shape right every time,” says Marc Halbach from Lambda-X customer PhysIOL.

Space Cucumbers Reveal Secrets of Plant Survival
Plants are experts in survival and can control the direction of their roots to maximize the use of resources around them. Using specialized cells, they can sense gravity and redistribute hormones, called auxins, to stimulate growth and allow vital features of the plant to develop. However, a big puzzle is how this transport process occurs at a cellular level. To learn more, researchers in Japan examined cucumber seedlings germinated under the very weak gravity — or microgravity — conditions of the International Space Station.
Cucumbers were chosen for the study as they — like other “cucurbitaceous” seedlings such as melons, pumpkins and squash — feature specialized protuberances, or pegs, whose formation is regulated by gravity. These pegs form during the plant’s early growth stage to help the seedlings emerge from their hard seed coat and anchor the developing plant in the soil while its roots form.

China’s Race to ‘Dominate’ Space – Analysis
60 years ago China set out on its space program with the establishment of the 5th Academy of the Ministry of National Defense. At its helm was rocket scientist Qian Xuesen – also known as Tsien Hsue-shen – who is now regarded as the father of China’s space and missile programs. 14 years later, Beijing sent its very first satellite (the Dongfanghong-1) into space and its first astronaut followed on October 15, 2003.
40 years after Apollo 11 embarked upon the first spaceflight that led to the lunar module landing with commanders Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, China successfully launched its very own space lab module called Tiangong-1. Not long afterward, Tiangong-2 made its way into orbit.
For decades, China appeared to be trailing behind or merely catching-up to the world’s two major space pioneers – the United States (US) and Russia – until this past August 2016, when China assumed its position as the world’s first country to launch a quantum satellite called “Micius.”

How John Glenn Became an Astronaut, as Told in 1962
Astronaut John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth and the third in space, died Thursday. A former U.S. Senator from Ohio, he was 95. Glenn landed on the cover of the March 2, 1962, issue of TIME after circling the globe three times in 4 hours and 56 minutes—at speeds of more than 17,000 mph—on Feb. 20, 1962.
The achievement came 10 months after Soviet Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space and made one full orbit around Earth (April 12, 1961) and nine months after Alan Shepard became the first American in space (May 5, 1961), followed by Gus Grissom (July 21, 1961). Thus, his mission was a critical step in the American mission to win the Cold War in space

Commemorative Coin to Honor Apollo 11 50th Anniversary
Numismatists and space enthusiasts in 2019 will be able to buy U.S. Mint-made commemorative coins celebrating the 50th anniversary of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
“It’s a chance for the United States to recognize and honor the heroes and legends who made this achievement possible,” said Tammy Sudler, executive director of the Titusville-based Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, one of two local nonprofits that will receive a portion of coin sale proceeds. It took a last-minute surge of support in the U.S. Senate, before it recessed this month, to ensure the coin will be minted and available for purchase in January 2019.

NASA isn’t Getting Back the Priceless Moon Bag it Accidentally Sold
A bag used to collect lunar samples during the first manned mission to the moon legally belongs to an Illinois woman who bought it for $995 when it was mistakenly sold during a government auction, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Judge J. Thomas Marten, of the U.S. District Court in Wichita, said he doesn’t have the authority to reverse the sale of the bag used during the Apollo 11 moon mission in July 1969, even though it shouldn’t have gone up for auction.
The white bag, which has lunar material embedded in its fabric and which the government considers “a rare artifact, if not a national treasure,” was mistakenly sold as part of a criminal case against Max Ary, the former director of the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center, a museum in Hutchinson. Ary was convicted in November 2005 of stealing and selling museum artifacts, including some that were on loan from NASA.

Purdue Analyzes Environmental Impact of Space-based ADS-B
A new report, based on research from Purdue University’s School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, analyzes the potential impact of space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) technology on global aviation carbon emissions in remote and oceanic airspace.
Authored by Dr. Karen Marais, the report titled Environmental Benefits of Space-based ADS-B, indicates that the implementation of this technology can offer benefits preventing approximately 14.3 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) from being released into the atmosphere between 2020 and 2030. This is equivalent to removing more than 300,000 cars from U.S. roads each of those years, while making no changes to aircraft design or fuel.
According to 2015 estimates from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), commercial aviation contributes about 2 percent of global manmade CO2 emissions annually.

‘Passengers’ Movie and the Real-life Science of Deep Space Travel
From Aliens to Interstellar, Hollywood has long used suspended animation to overcome the difficulties of deep space travel, but the once-fanciful sci-fi staple is becoming scientific fact. The theory is that a hibernating crew could stay alive over vast cosmic distances, requiring little food, hydration or living space, potentially slashing the costs of interstellar missions and eradicating the boredom of space travel. But the technology has always been unattainable outside the fertile imaginations of filmmakers from Woody Allen and Ridley Scott to James Cameron and Christopher Nolan — until now.
Atlanta-based Spaceworks Enterprises is using a $US500,000 ($A689,000) grant from NASA to leverage techniques used on brain trauma and heart attack patients to develop “low metabolic stasis” for missions to Mars and the asteroid belt.

While the V-2 rocket could not achieve orbit, it was capable of putting a man into space on a suborbital trajectory. The space race might have been very different if the Russians had put their first cosmonaut in space in 1948! But in four countries, prior to Sputnik in 1957, there was resistance to the idea.
In the early 1940’s von Braun’s team studied evolution of the A4/V-2 into a manned rocketplane. The A9 version would have used wings to extend the range of the basic V-2 from 250 km to 550 km. A manned version was also proposed. This boost-glide concept was not strictly a spacecraft — it would only reach an altitude of 30 km before levelling out for a sustained supersonic glide at 20 km. But it would also be a true spacecraft as the second stage of the A9/A10 manned ICBM and A9/A10/A11/A12 manned orbital launch vehicles. The government prohibited all further such work in 1943 in order to concentrate on war production of the V-2.

Trump’s $440 Billion Weapon
On Thursday afternoon, President-elect Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on the defense industry: He asked Boeing to price out an alternative to Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jets, a hugely valuable contract that Trump has criticized as too expensive. Lockheed’s share price plunged almost 2 percent in after-hours trading.
It was the culmination of weeks of interference by the president-elect in the arcane, bureaucratic function of federal procurement. In early December, it was Boeing on the receiving end of Trump’s wrath, when he tweeted that the costs of the new Air Force One planes are “out of control” and told reporters, “Boeing is doing a little bit of a number.” A few days later, he criticized the cost of the F-35 contract. And earlier this week, he convened top military officials and the CEOs of Boeing and Lockheed at his Mar-a-Lago estate to discuss how to bring costs down. Trump told reporters afterward, “We’re just beginning, it’s a dance.”

US Military Test-Fires SM-6 Weapons in Missile Defense Test
The U.S. Missile Defense Agency and U.S. Navy have launched their latest missile defense test in the Pacific Ocean in a successful demonstration that hurled two interceptors at an incoming medium-range ballistic missile.
The test occurred Dec. 14 and launched two Raytheon-built Standard Missile-6 Dual 1 (SM-6) missiles from the Navy destroyer USS John Paul Jones from just off the coast of Hawaii, MDA officials said in a statement. The two SM-6 projectiles were launched against a medium-range ballistic missile target as part of the MDA’s Sea-Based Terminal Program, using Navy ships equipped with the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System.
“This test demonstrated the capabilities MDA and the Navy are delivering to our fleet commanders,” MDA Director Vice Adm. Jim Syring said in a Dec. 14 statement.

Military Looks to Make Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’ a Reality by 2021
The U.S. military thinks that the future of defending against incoming nuclear missiles could be giant lasers floating in space.
The military is developing sensors that could combat incredibly fast nuclear missiles and target them with lasers when they’re most vulnerable, but that can only work from space. The technology to zap missiles with space lasers could be online as soon as 2021.
“It’s so important that we make this broader shift from a terrestrial-based system to a system that primarily plays from space in the next couple of years,” Richard Matlock, executive for advanced technology at the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), said in a statement.

In the honor of Igor Sikorsky, The American Helicopter society is offering a prize of $250,000 since 1980 to anyone who will develop a human powered chopper which should lift itself and hover around for at least 10 feet over the ground for one minute minimum. Tremendous amount of researches and revolution of latest science and information technology has made ever thing clear in the eyes of human beings. The flying jets were early in use before the use of flying choppers and latest helicopters.
Despite of numerous attempts made by thousands of the individuals, still no one has claimed the fully required helicopter and to claim the prize winner. But Aero Velo is determined that it will be the first through use of advanced materials and innovations gone possible.
The Sikorsky Human-Powered helicopter competition is the third largest monetary prize award, although not a wonder and now aviation across the world are ready to develop successful project of such type of aviation and being the first to perform this project.
Those engineers who have experience about feet requires, the challenge to hover a helicopter at a distance of 10 feet from ground will not be an impossible task for them to complete. A project built by Maryland university engineers developed a chopper which was able to hover in air for only 11.4 seconds at a height of 10 feet from the ground, while in a similar project done by Russian engineers; chopper was able to stay a lot for maximum of 19 seconds hovering in the air.
Aero Velo is hoping that its experience working with bicycle and ornithopter which won the awards will help to achieve their dream of flying a human powered chopper in air for one minute at 10 feet distance from the ground. If Aero Velo space team is succeeded in this project, it will use this money for development of engineering projects and streamlining of incumbent bikes for eco-friendly and sustainable transportation.
Aero Velo believes that its craft named Atlas, which will be developed using carbon fiber and advanced aerodynamic modeling, will be enough to push it to be the first to script aviation history. Atlas will cost about $170,000 to complete and the team is hoping that crowd funding website, Kickstarter, will be able to generate around $30,000 to help it achieve its feat. Incidentally, the team will seek the services of competitive cyclist Todd Reichert to power Atlas. | aerospace |

The vintage aircraft, painstakingly acquired by lifelong aviation enthusiast and founder of Fantasy Of Flight, Kermit Weeks, represents all eras of aviation from early flight to the 1950s.
Some aircraft have been carefully restored to represent the same dignity they possessed when they ruled the skies. Others, shown in the immersion experiences, look exactly the same as when Weeks acquired them.
Experience the thrill of flying a WWII combat mission at "Fighter Town USA", where the only thing between you and the enemy is the windscreen youre looking through!
Or imagine youre the pilot of a F4U Corsair or a F4F Wildcat involved in mid-air combat with enemy aircraft over the blue waters of the Pacific!
Employing advanced simulation technology, Fantasy Of Flights simulators put you in the pilot seat - capturing the sights, sounds & even the emotions of participating in a WWII Pacific Theatre combat mission aboard one of eight classic aircraft.
Open daily 9:00am to 5:00pm. Excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.
Well worth a visit. Make sure that you get there early - as the hangars in which the aircraft sit can get mighty hot in the Florida sunshine. This attractions is more for the Dad's in the group, although the air-combat sim is a must for the kids also.
Make sure you stay and eat either breakfast or lunch at the "The Compass Rose" Diner that's on site. It's a nostalgic trip back to the 30's and 40's.
Follow Highway 192 to the I-4 exit and take the I-4 Westbound, toward Tampa. Stay on the road to exit 21 for Polk City/Auburndale. Keep to the right at the fork in the ramp and merge onto FL-559. Flight of Fantasy is in front of you after 400 yards.

A Practical Approach
All our aircraft have been propeller-driven either using internal combustion engines or electric motors. Both tractor and pusher configurations have been used, and in some cases hybrid designs with both engines and motors have been employed. Currently, four-stroke gasoline or JP8 kerosene-fueled engines give the best range and endurance to aircraft, but they do need fuel supplies to be kept in mind; they can also cause vibration problems with on-board sensors unless careful consideration is given to antivibration mountings (of both engines and sensors).
Fitting an aircraft with electric motors for propulsion is relatively straightforward. A wide range of relatively inexpensive motors is readily available, and by adopting rare-earth magnets, very good power to weight ratios can be achieved. They tend to be very smooth running and extremely reliable since the main rotor and its bearings are usually the only moving parts. The Achilles heel of electric propulsion is the energy density of the batteries currently avail- able. LiPo batteries are readily available and reasonably priced, but using them to lift useful payloads typically restricts endurance to less than 2h, often dramatically so. The advent of lithium-sulfur batteries may mitigate these problems to some extent, as would modestly priced fuel cells - currently neither technology is viable for low-cost UAV systems.

He shows us behind the scenes and takes us onboard his Connie flight from Los Angeles to New York La Guardia. However, Pete was on a crew change at Kansas City, Missouri.
We watch how fabulous TWA airline meals are made and served on long flights across the country.
There is a lot of the operation in Kansas City shown in this movie, including crew training.
In the film, we see the Star of France and the Star of Alaska aircraft.
Pete Martin has 18,000 flying hours and has been a pilot since 1933.
We go through the pre-flight briefing and get ready for takeoff.
The flight follows antiquated navigational aids.
You will be introduced to what goes into making up your flight by observing all the necessary operations from ticketing to the touchdown.
You are taken through all phases that add up to a safe and enjoyable trip during the post-WWII years, including food preparation, pre-flight preparation, weather analysis, pre-flighting the plane, plane loading, and take off.
A special feature is controller-pilot and pilot-co-pilot communication so necessary to coordinate complex airport operations and flight Other worthy segments include a primer on the basics of flying in IFR conditions (bad weather, low visibility conditions) through the sky and to touch down, glimpses into the maintenance of pilot skills and health and detailed footage of TWA maintenance and overhauls.
Take the flight and sharpen your “behind the scene” knowledge of the operation of the Super-Constellation and TWA and enjoy some spectacular bonus footage such as views of the Grand Canyon from the sky; pilot deck crew running through the pre-takeoff checklist in the cockpit; actual instrument flying with the panel instruments through the sky and the approach; the bustle and discipline of a plane overhaul in the shop.
If you are a TWA airline or Constellation buff, you will enjoy this.

The plans are expected to be "discussed publicly" at the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics small satellite conference on Wednesday. "The spacecraft would operate in low Earth orbit as a sweeper or shield, breaking up debris particles and reducing their velocity, according to Jose Guerrero, chief technologist for ATK Spacecraft Division's Systems and Advanced Technology Group." The concept has been discussed with NASA, DARPA, and the US Air Force, "Guerrero said. Further development of the concept, including testing, will require government funding, he added."
