I agree that Traffic Global is an improvement over World Traffic, however I am finding a lot of issues that tend to spoil the fun, Several airports in the UK seem not to work, Gatwick EGKK with Aerosoft and Pilot Plus versions, both show around 4 or 5 aircraft only. Heathrow works pretty well but there are issues. proximity problems, when an aircraft is pushing back when a taxiing aircraft is approaching they both stop and remain that way, this creates an ever increasing line of aircraft. which can eventually bring the traffic to a standstill. EGCC Manchester has the same problems and also does not make use of the second runway. These are the most important airports in the UK, so I would like to see this sort of problem fixed.I also have an occasional aircraft parked at a gate with undercarriage up and at a take off angle Boeing 747 BA. When or if I get the hang of WED I will try to sort this sort of problem myself but am not there yet. | aerospace |

The Surface Solutions Segment delivers technologies for airplane components such as engine pylons, turbine blades and landing gear systems and generated 12 % of its 2015 sales from this sector.
Backlogs at Airbus and Boeing reportedly represent eight years of future production. Coupled with China’s recent entry as a large airplane manufacturer, this market is expected to grow over 4 % in 2016. Oerlikon’s targeted market size in this sector is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 5.1 % from 2015 to 2018.
New and improved technologies are going to be even more important in the design and production of next-generation aircrafts. In particular, future airplanes will need lighter yet durable materials, have engines that run efficiently at even higher temperatures, be fuel efficient, have lower carbon footprints and generate higher ROI to airlines. Innovative surface treatments will play a key role here. For instance, the Surface Solutions Segment developed in 2015 a new erosion protection coating to reduce solid particle erosion in aircraft compressor blades, thereby improving efficiency in that critical jet engine part. BALINIT DIAMOND, another product from the Segment, enables cutting tools to be extremely wear-resistant, sharp and smooth as required for the processing of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) that are increasingly used in aviation. The Segment’s additive manufacturing (AM) offering is also another area with promising applications in this sector. The Manmade Fibers Segment also delivers production systems that make the fibers used in aircraft carpets and upholstery. | aerospace |

It is the backbone of American commerce and transportation, and is a driving force behind U.S. manufacturing and innovation. Last Tuesday, Acting FAA Administrator Michael Huerta saw first-hand how aviation contributes to the economy when he visited GE Aviation’s Evendale facility to view new Next Gen navigational technology. As the largest pilot union in the world, ALPA continues to support policies that promote continued innovation, growth, and jobs in the aviation sector.
America’s aviation industry a driving force
Aviation is a key driver of America’s economy. It supports 10 million jobs and adds $1.3 trillion of economic activity. It contributes 5.2 percent of our gross domestic product.
And–whether it’s new engines, new fuels, or new cockpit and navigation electronics–aviation also fosters innovation.
During his State of the Union address, President Obama laid out a blueprint for sustaining our country – for an America built to last. American manufacturing is a cornerstone of that vision, and so is American innovation. The good news is that aviation embodies both. | aerospace |

The solar-powered drones are intended to be flown for months without landing and will operate at altitudes of more than 60,000ft
Founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg announced the test flights as part of plans to increase internet around the world.
The solar-powered drones are intended to be flown for months without landing and will operate at altitudes of more than 60,000ft, far higher than commercial airline flights.
The planes were developed by Ascenta, a Somerset-based company led by engineer Andrew Cox. It was bought by Facebook in March 2014 for £12m.
Internet connections will be beamed down to the ground from the aircraft using laser technology and are seen by Facebook as an affordable means of improving access to the web in remote areas.
“As part of oureffort to connect the world, we’ve designed unmanned aircraft that can beam internet access down to people from the sky,” said Mr Zuckerberg in a blog post. “I’m excited to share that that we’ve successfully completed our first test flight of these aircraft in the UK.
“Aircraft like these will help connect the whole world because they can affordably serve the 10 per cent of the world’s population that live in remote communities without existing internet infrastructure.”
Theinitiative is Facebook’s attempt to build on its 1.3 billion user base by connecting the rest of the world to the internet – described by the initiative as “one of the greatest challenges of our generation”.
As part of a keynote speech at the social network’s F8 developer conference in San Francisco, the firm’s chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer said: “We need to connect all those on the internet who aren’t yet connected.”
Some 2.7 billion people are connected to the internet but almost two-thirds of the world’s population still do not have access.
It was recognised last year by Facebook that creating a fleet of drones flying at extreme altitudes will present new challenges to the regulatory authorities. In particular, Facebook wants a system, barred under present aircraft rules, in which one person can be in charge of multiple aircraft rather than just a single drone. By flying at between 60,000ft and 90,000ft the drones will be out of reach of normal weather conditions and usual air traffic rules.
Facebook has already selected at least 21 locations in Africa, South America and Asia where it would like to deploy the drones. Charities are likely to be given the task of operating them and Facebook has expressed hopes of getting them airborne and operational within five years.
Fellow technology giant Google is also working on an air-based internet connection solution in the form of its Project Loon, which is using high-altitude weather balloons to provide a data connection. It hopes to send them 20km into the stratosphere to form a broadcasting network.
Amazon, the online retail giant, wants to develop a delivery service using drones and has approached the government for permission to carry out trials.
Richard Goodwill, the Transport Minister, said earlier this week: “My favourite word is deregulation, and we need to make sure that wherever you are in the world, and if you want to innovate and you want to invest in this sort of technology, come to the UK because we’re here to help you.” | aerospace |

Fly back to Did You Know
1. The custom was started by World War I pilots. The scarves prevented skin irritation that otherwise was caused by rubbernecking (looking behind for enemy aircraft) while wearing heavy, scratchy uniform shirts (to keep warm at cold altitudes).
2. True. An airship is any lighter-than-air aircraft that is powered and steerable. A Zeppelin is any of many rigid airships designed by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. a blimp is not rigid. The terms airship and dirigible (from directable) are synonymous.
3. It is (or was) an organization of flight crews whose lives have been saved after ditching by the use of emergency dinghies or rafts.
4. According to the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, airspace sovereignty ends where out space begins. This altitude has yet to be legally fixed, but varies between 85 and 100 nm. It most often is regarded as 90 nm.
5. Oil tends to collect in the bottom cylinders of radial engines. Attempting to start an engine at such a time results in hydraulically locked cylinders that can cause structural damage. Slowly turning the propeller by hand before starting allows pooled oil to drain harmlessly through the valves.
6. The warm fuel weighs 5.70 pounds per gallon, and the cold fuel weighs 5.93 ppg. (refer to the FAA's Aircraft Weight and Balance Handbook.) The cold fuel, therefore, is 4 percent more dense than the warm fuel and would increase range by this amount.
when propping the engine without anyone in the cockpit. There is enough time
to get in the airplane and turn on the fuel before the engine fails. this
reduces the possibility of a runaway airplane. Ensure that the aircraft is
chocked and tied down before starting.
8. The center of gravity of a taildragger is behind the main landing gear instead of ahead of it (as in the case of a trike). The taildragger behaves like a child's tricycle that is shoved backwards and then released. (Shove it hard enough and it will ground loop.)
9. False. An early flying automobile to be certified was the Airphibian (1950), which was conceived and designed by Robert Edison Fulton Jr. It took less than five minutes to convert the airplane into an automobile and vice-versa. another was the Aerocar, which was certified six years later.
10. True. The Concorde does not have flaps per se, but its six elevons droop for takeoff and landing to increase wing camber. Effectively, therefore, the Concorde has flaps.
11. True. The Franch-born German engineer Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913) developed the "pressure-ignited heat engine" between 1885 and 1898.
12. True. The Waco-designed glider was towed across the Atlantic by a Douglas C-47 and piloted by Squadron Leader R.G. Seys of the Royal Air Force in June 1943 for delivery to Russia.
13. Germany's Erich Hartmann (World War II, 352 victories). America's greatest ace is Richard Bong (World War II, 40 victories).
14. The original tower (now at the base of the TV tower) was designed as a mooring mast for transatlantic airships. Gusty winds at 1,350 feet asl (above street level) resulted in several unsuccessful mooring attempts, and the idea was abandoned.
15. The practic originated at Fort Benning, Georgia, by members of the 505th Infantry Battalion who attended the 1939 motion picture Geronimo the night before their first jump.

When two particles such as photons are born from the same event, they emerge entangled, meaning they can communicate instantaneously no matter how far apart they are. Transmitting entangled pairs of photons reliably is the backbone of so-called quantum key distribution—procedures for converting those pairs into potentially unbreakable codes. Quantum cryptography, as it is known, could appeal to banks, covert government agencies and the military, and was tested in a 2007 Swiss election.
Photons can travel perhaps 100 miles (160 kilometers) or so along today's fiber-optic cables before their quantum character breaks down. That limit vanishes aboveground. Last year, a team led by physicist Anton Zeilinger of the University of Vienna transmitted quantum keys up to 89.5 miles (144 kilometers) between a pair of telescopes in Spain's Canary Islands.
Now Zeilinger and colleagues want to make the jump to hundreds of miles or more. The Vienna group is spearheading an international project, called Space-QUEST (Quantum Entanglement for Space Experiments), to prove that a system for generating pairs of entangled photons can fit the constraints imposed by the ISS.
Quantum keys distributed from orbit could be transmitted to any two points in the station's line of sight, limited only by the ability of transmitters and receivers to keep a tight lock on one another and to distinguish entangled photons from background light. Earlier this year, Zeilinger and colleagues showed they could detect single photons reflected from an Italian satellite 3,700 miles (5,955 kilometers) above Earth.
The tools for the experiment would be an ultraviolet laser, a special type of crystal for splitting ultraviolet photons into pairs of infrared photons and equipment for keeping the two components aligned during the rigors of spaceflight. To make it into space, the instruments, including telescopes to transmit the photons, must weigh less than about 220 pounds (100 kilograms), consume no more than 250 watts of power and be no larger than 4.6 feet (1.4 meters) on its longest side.
The 10-country Space-QUEST group hopes to build a prototype device and gather preliminary data in time for a November meeting of the European Space Agency (ESA), where officials will decide which projects will receive funding and deserve a chance to fly in space, says Rupert Ursin, a postdoctoral researcher in Zeilinger's lab.
Ursin says the team's proposal has scored high in preliminary assessments by European funding agencies including the ESA. "We can do a lot of physics experiments with a relatively small budget" of a few hundred million euros, he says.
In addition to the potential practical application, the Space-QUEST project would give researchers a chance to probe the reaches of entanglement in a new way. Theory says entangled should be unlimited in range, Ursin says, but to know for sure, "we have to test it." | aerospace |

What about the race to the moon?
Bob Fish, author and USS Hornet Museum trustee, recently visited NASA’s AMES Research Center in Sunnyvale, CA, to investigate the possibility of cooperation and collaboration of STEM-related programming. While there, Bob visited the Hypervelocity Flight Test Facility with their engineers.He was then guided into the original 1960’s era hyper-velocity test lab which consisted of an old projectile acceleration tube that is now rarely used. To his surprise, Bob noticed the inscription on the breach of the barrel read “US Navy.” It was in fact a Mark 6 16-inch battleship gun!
The connection between battleship guns and NASA research is over a half-century old.
The Hypervelocity Free-Flight Facilities (HFFF) inside the ballistic range complex at NASA-Ames is the only aero-ballistic range in North American with a controlled environment test section. Along with the Electric Arc Shock Tube (EAST) facility, the Hypervelocity Free-Flight Aerodynamics Facility (HFFAF) has been in operation since the 1960s, at the height of the space race.According to NASA’s official report of the facility, the HFFAF has “world-unique capabilities that enable experimental studies of real-gas aerothermal, gas dynamic, and kinetic phenomena of atmospheric entry.” Put in simpler terms, the facilities helps NASA scientist study the nature of entry, descent, and landing systems during the dangerous return trip to earth from human and robotic space exploration missions.
NASA defines the HFFAF as an “aeroballistic range” that supports a variety of aerodynamic and aerothermodynamic tests. According to NASA, the complex began operations in 1964 in support of the Apollo program. Even in NASA’s infancy, the necessity for space exploration sped up the development of test facilities that could duplicate the extreme velocities and temperatures from superorbital Earth atmospheric re-entry and entry into planetary atmospheres. HFFAF is a product of this innovation.You can see the gun barrel at :51 seconds in the video below:
Small-scale models representing a space shuttle in return entry were launched inside the HFFAF at velocities ranging from 100 m/s to 8,000 m/s. Nearly any type of planetary atmosphere could be simulated. Sixteen shadowgraph-imaging stations were installed in the test section to study the nature of the projectile’s velocity in flight. When higher velocities up to 12,0000 m/s were tested at AMES, the HFFAF was connected to a 16-inch combustion-powered shock tunnel, like the one you see above. The tunnels generated up to 4,000 m/s counter-flow in the test section. As of today, the tube is in “stand-by” mode and is not operational. A more modernized accelerator with portholes for viewing is used today. NASA continues to do ballistic modeling of aircraft shapes and space vehicles.
The gun itself is a 16 inch-45 caliber Mark 6 barrel. The barrel shown in the above image was made in 1942 here at the Washington Navy Yard. Most 16”/45 guns were used on North Carolina-class and South Dakota-class battleships. The 16 inch-50 caliber Mark 7 guns used on Iowa-class battleships soon became the successor to the Mark 6. Unlike the Mark 6, the 16”/50 gun’s heavier weight and larger size did not have to alight with Treaty restrictions.
Who knew that the U.S. Navy did much more than supply astronauts and recovery ships. Special thanks to Bob Fish who gave us the information and images for the story. We look forward to hearing more about the aerospace-related STEM programs at the Hornet Museum and its utilization of the technology the Hornet education group saw at NASA-Ames!

At 02.52 am Friday the Air Force of Ukraine reported missile launches from Tu-95MS aircraft. The message followed a warning just before midnight that four of the bombers had taken off from Olenya airfield in the Murmansk region.
Other sources following Russia’s military aviation claim 7 such long-range Tu-95MS bombers from Olenya were in the air on the night of Friday.
The airbase is an hour’s drive south of Murmansk city, some 100 km from the border to Finland and about 150 km from Russia’s northern border with Norway. The two Nordic NATO members have radars up north detecting every take-off from Olenya.
People throughout Ukraine woke up to air raid sirens and had to run to bomb shelters where those were available.
Kyiv Independent reports attacks targeting nearly every region of Ukraine, including the far-western Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk oblast.
Poland’s Military Headquarters says on Twitter (X) that it has scrambled fighter jets to ensure the safety of Polish airspace after Russia started to launch missiles. Last weekend, a Russian cruise missile violated Polish airspace near the border with Ukraine.
In addition to Tu-95MS bombers from the Olenya airfield on the Kola Peninsula, Russia is attacking Ukraine with a wave of drones, MiG-31K aircraft and Iskander ballistic missiles from annexed Crimea, Belgorod and Kursk regions, the Ukraine Air Force reports via updates on Telegram.
The attack targeted facilities in the fuel and energy sector of Ukraine. In total, 99 means of air weapons were launched of which 84 were destroyed by Ukrainian air defense.
It was in the spring of 2023 that Russia’s strategic air forces relocated more than 10 Tu-95M and Tu-160 long-range bombers to Olenya. The move came after Engels Air Base in Saratov region was hit by Ukrainian drones.
Olenya is 1,800 km north of Russia’s border with Ukraine.

SQUADRON AIRCRAFT IN ACTION N. 211
Autore: David Doyle
Collana di volumi illustratissimi, nota a tutti gli appassionati di aviazione e modellisti.
Its contrails twisting through the clouds, one fighter aircraft was able to escort America’s heavy bombers from England to Berlin, and from Iwo Jima to Tokyo – the North American P-51 Mustang. Beyond bomber escort, this iconic Pursuit (later F- for fighter) aircraft was employed against ground targets using machine guns, rockets, and bombs – in fact one variant was specifically produced as a dive bomber, an Allied counterpart to Germany’s famed Stuka. Including derivatives, the Mustang soldiered on in the arsenal of America and her allies into the 1980s, and was responsible for downing over 5,000 enemy aircraft. This new 80-page edition of a classic book about an iconic aircraft includes over 170 photos, one-third of which are in rare vintage color. Detailed line drawings and color profiles augment the archival images to present this new look at the Mustang, from the early experimental NA-73X to the PA-48, the final military variant.

Waiting for the Rocket Launch
There has been a heavy lift rocket launch scheduled for the last two days, at Vandenberg AFB. The launch site is 120 miles from Venice. But when we were here in September, we just happened to see the end of a launch from the street outside the house and it was amazing. So this time we decided to go to the beach for the best view. Two days ago the launch was scrubbed because of high winds. Today the countdown got to within 5 minutes of launch, and then it was scrubbed because of a Hydrogen leak. Bummer. But I did get this nice view of the mountains in the distance where the launch would appear.
About 15 minutes before the launch time, this streak in the sky appeared - it almost looked as if it was the launch of some smaller rocket. It hung in the sky, until it was distorted by the high level winds. I couldn't find any reference to what this object might be. It was a beautiful sunset, and we were at the beach, so the time wasn't a complete loss.

A passenger on a Delta Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Nashville reportedly tried to breach the cockpit of the plane while in flight
According to court documents, after takeoff, 43-year-old Asiel Norton rushed the front of the aircraft and began pounding on the cockpit door yelling, "We need to land this plane!"
A flight attendant tried to get Norton back to his seat but he resisted, which resulted in the attendant trying to pin Norton to the floor of the plane. Other passengers stepped in to help the flight attendant.
Norton is charged with the federal offense of interfering with flight crew members and attendants which resulted in the plane being diverted from the intended destination of Nashville to Albuquerque, New Mexico. | aerospace |

A Molokaʻi man pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in connection with a case involving an assault of a flight attendant on a flight from Honolulu to Hilo last year.
According to a news release from the District of Hawaiʻi of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, 33-year-old Steven Sloan of Molokaʻi pleaded guilty to interfering with flight crew members and assaulting a flight attendant. His sentencing is scheduled for for Aug. 4.
“Crimes committed on an aircraft while in flight can imperil the safety of all those on board,” said Clare Connors, U.S. attorney for the Hawaiʻi district, in the news release. “This prosecution demonstrates the potential federal criminal consequences of assaulting a flight crew member.”
The news release said that according to court documents and information presented in court, at about 7:30 a.m. Sept. 23, 2021, Hawaiian Airlines Flight 152 was in the air from Honolulu to Hilo when the flight attendant victim of the assault moved from the front of the aircraft and proceeded toward the rear, collecting trash. When he approached Row 6, he collected trash from the left side of the aisle and when he turned his attention to the right side, Sloan punched the victim in the chest with a closed fist.
The victim saw that Sloan was upset or agitated and attempted to cover his body and create space from Sloan. Sloan then struck the victim on the back left side of head. Fearing for his safety, the safety of the other two flight attendants as well as the other passengers, particularly the woman seated next to Sloan, the victim advised the other flight attendants to abandon their normal duties and monitor the doors of the aircraft in the event Sloan went for the doors. The captain was advised and returned the plane to Honolulu.
“The FBI takes these types of crimes seriously,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Steven Merrill in the news release. “The flight crew has a right to feel safe aboard an aircraft while also performing their duties. We encourage everyone to be aware of their surroundings on board an airplane and understand that the FBI will investigate these crimes to the fullest extent of the law.”
Sloan faces maximum penalties of 20 years in prison for the charge of interference with flight crew members and attendants, a fine of $250,000 and supervised release for three years. The maximum penalties for the assault charge are one year imprisonment, a fine of $100,000 and supervised release for one year.
The case was investigated by the FBI and state Department of Public Safety Sheriff Division and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Darren W.K. Ching. | aerospace |

From SKYbrary Wiki
|Category:||Air Ground Communication|
Read-back is defined as a procedure whereby the receiving station repeats a received message or an appropriate part thereof back to the transmitting station so as to obtain confirmation of correct reception. (ICAO Annex 10 Vol II).
An uncorrected erroneous read-back (known as a hear-back error) may lead to a deviation from the intended clearance and may not be detected until the controller observes the deviation on his/her situational display.
Less than required vertical or horizontal separation (and an AIRPROX) is often the result of hear-back errors.
The flight crew must read back to the air traffic controller safety-related parts of ATC clearances and instructions which are transmitted by voice. The following items must always be read back:
- a) ATC route clearances;
- b) clearances and instructions to enter, land on, take off from, hold short of, cross or backtrack on any runway; and
- c) runway-in-use, altimeter settings, SSR codes, level instructions, heading and speed instructions and, whether issued by the controller or contained in Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) broadcasts, transition levels.
Other clearances or instructions, including conditional clearances, must be read back or acknowledged in a manner to clearly indicate that they have been understood and will be complied with.
The controller must listen to the read-back to ascertain that the clearance or instruction has been correctly acknowledged by the flight crew and shall take immediate action to correct any discrepancies revealed by the read-back. (ICAO Annex 11 Chapter 3 Para 3.7.3)
Aspects of read-back/hear-back
The pilot’s read-back must be complete and clear to ensure a complete and correct understanding by the controller. The action of reading back a clearance gives the controller an opportunity to confirm that the message has been correctly received, and if necessary, to correct any errors.
Read-back of a clearance should never be replaced by the use of terms such as “Roger”, "Wilco" or “Copied”. Likewise, a controller should not use similar terms to acknowledge a message requiring a definite answer (e.g. acknowledging a pilot’s statement that an altitude or speed restriction cannot be met).
Failure to correct faulty read-back
The absence of an acknowledgement or a correction following a clearance read-back is perceived by most flight crews as an implicit confirmation of the read-back. The absence of acknowledgement by the controller is usually the result of frequency congestion and the need for the controller to issue clearances to several aircraft in succession.
The bias of expectation of clearance in understanding a communication can affect pilots and controllers. The bias of expectation can lead to:
- Transposing the numbers contained in a clearance (e.g. a flight level) to what was expected, based on experience or routine; and,
- Shifting a clearance or instruction from one parameter to another (e.g. perceiving a clearance to maintain a 280 degree heading as a clearance to climb/descend and maintain flight level 280).
Failure to request confirmation or clarification
Misunderstandings may include half-heard words or guessed-at numbers. The potential for misunderstanding numbers increases when an ATC clearance contains more than two instructions.
Reluctance to seek confirmation may cause pilots to:
- Accept an inadequate instruction (over-reliance on ATC); or,
- Determine for themselves the most probable interpretation.
Failing to request clarification may cause flight crew to believe erroneously that they have received an expected clearance (e.g. clearance to climb to a requested level).
Failure to question instructions
Failing to question an instruction can cause a crew to accept an altitude clearance below the minimum safe altitude or a heading that places the aircraft on collision course with another.
Pilots must read back the safety related part of all communications.
ATCOs must listen carefully to the read-back and correct any factual error or any apparent misunderstanding.
If there is any doubt in the minds of flight crew as to the precise content of a clearance, or there is any doubt about how to comply (for example the identity or location of a waypoint) then they should request a repeat of either the clearance or a specific part of it that was not understood by the request 'Say again'.
Accidents and Incidents
The following events include the missing of an incorrect read back as a factor:
- A333 / A319, en-route, east of Lashio Myanmar, 2017 (On 3 May 2017, an Airbus A330 and an Airbus A319 lost prescribed separation whilst tracking in opposite directions on a radar-controlled ATS route in eastern Myanmar close to the Chinese border. The Investigation found that the response of the A330 crew to a call for another aircraft went undetected and they descended to the same level as the A319 with the lost separation only being mitigated by intervention from the neighbouring Chinese ACC which was able to give the A319 an avoiding action turn. At the time of the conflict, the A330 had disappeared from the controlling ACCs radar.)
- A320 / B738, en-route, near Córdoba Spain, 2014 (On 30 October 2014, a descending Airbus A320 came close to a Boeing 737-800 at around FL 220 after the A320 crew significantly exceeded a previously-instructed 2,000 fpm maximum rate of descent assuming it no longer applied when not reiterated during re-clearance to a lower altitude. Their response to a TCAS RA requiring descent at not above 1,000 fpm was to further increase it from 3,200 fpm. Lack of notification delayed the start of an independent Investigation but it eventually found that although the A320 TCAS equipment had been serviceable, its crew denied failing to correctly follow their initial RA.)
- B763 / B763, Kansai Japan, 2007 (On 20 October 2007, at night, a Boeing 767-300 operated by Air Canada was taxiing for Runway 24L at Kansai International Airport for take-off. Meanwhile, another Boeing 767-300, operated by Japan Airlines, had been given landing clearance and was on approach to the same runway. After an incorrect readback, the Air Canada B767 entered the runway to line up. As a consequence of the runway incursion, the B767 on approach executed a go-around on the instructions of air traffic control.)
- A320, vicinity Oslo Norway, 2008 (On 19 December 2008, an Aeroflot Airbus A320 descended significantly below its cleared and acknowledged altitude after the crew lost situational awareness at night whilst attempting to establish on the ILS at Oslo from an extreme intercept track after a late runway change and an unchallenged incorrect readback. The Investigation concluded that the response to the EGPWS warning which resulted had been “late and slow” but that the risk of CFIT was “present but not imminent”. The context for the event was considered to have been poor communications between ATC and the aircraft in respect of changes of landing runway.)
- MD82 / C441, Lambert-St Louis MI USA, 1994 (On 22 November 1994 a McDonnell Douglas MD 82 flight crew taking off from Lambert- St. Louis at night in excellent visibility suddenly became aware of a stationary Cessna 441 on the runway ahead and was unable to avoid a high speed collision. The collision destroyed the Cessna but allowed the MD82 to be brought to a controlled stop without occupant injury. The Investigation found that the Cessna 441 pilot had mistakenly believed his departure would be from the runway he had recently landed on and had entered that runway without clearance whilst still on GND frequency.)

With the proper control authority, via thrust vector control, swivel
nozzles, intertial gyros, advanced digital control algorithms and such, even
a tumbling rocket can be straightened and made to fly pointy end first. We
can do that with current military technology; it is not near the technical
challenge of creating a really tall inflatable tower.
I haven't done the calculations on the inflatable tower notion, but my
intuition tells me it would allow the tower to go higher than without the
internal pressure. I am imagining a cone structure, perhaps a km diameter
at the base, gradually tapering upwards, 30km or so.
It could be constructed in sections: assume a km diameter base, 200 meters
high, so about about 994 meters diameter at 200 meters height, where we
would construct an enormous hemispherical dome. The first section would
then be pressurized partially, and structural strength added to the dome
until it was at about 20 atmospheres. Then the second piece would be
constructed up to 400 meters and a diamter of about 988 meters, a new dome
at that height, pressure gradually added to the second section, until the
first and second sections are in equilibrium. Then the first dome could be
removed, for it would no longer serve any purpose.
This successive dome building, pressurizing the new section and removing the
previous dome would continue all the way to the top, which would be in
equilibrium at a mere 19 atmospheres (or one less than the bottom section in
any case.) At the very top would actually be an enormous pulley, over which
a single cable would be used to haul the rocket to the top. This rocket
would have two swivel nozzles which could be used to direct the force of the
thrust outward away from the tower.
I haven't actually seen this version of the idea, and don't know if it is
anything like what Jeff proposed so many years ago. Do let me perform some
honest BOTECs and return when I know what the hell I am suggesting, for
other obligations, such as fatherhood and husbandhood, demand my immediate

The new equipment, according to Akinkuotu at an interactive forum organised by the League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) in Lagos, will enable aircraft to land, even if the pilots are unable to establish visual contact with the runway due to bad weather. ILS does this by transmitting radio signals.
A Category 3A approach is a precision instrument approach and landing with no decision height or a decision height lower than 100ft (30m) and a runway visual range not less than 700ft (200m).
He said the imminent ILS upgrade at the two busiest airports in Nigeria, are part of the plan to embark on aggressive deployment of Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) infrastructure this year, to further boost the safety of air travel in the country.
Akinkuotu said the deployment of the hi-tech equipment would ensure that aircraft land can land in zero-zero visibility given the adverse weather at certain times of the year.
Besides that, he added that another challenge is the billions of debt incurred by the airlines, which is affecting operations of the airspace management agency.
Akinkuotu said NAMA remains committed to enhancing safety and efficiency, by installing communication radios in strategic areas in the country, as well as upgrade of existing ones, deployment of ILS and other navigational aids across the country.
A brand new ILS and a Doppler Very High Frequency Omnidirectional Range (DVOR) have been installed and calibrated in Kano. Other areas of progress according to the NAMA boss include improvement in Air Traffic Control (ATC) capacity through training and retraining of critical personnel and others, addressing depleting ATC manpower, enhanced staff welfare through implementation of harmonisation of salaries and the signing of new condition of service, which is awaiting approval by government. | aerospace |

The objectives of the SkyLiberty demonstration project are to develop, qualify and validate an end-to-end service centred around an aeronautical software application able to:
- Improve flight safety by providing to pilots reliable data and tools compliant with all safety recommendations currently in force
- Provide a single comprehensive application with a rigorous methodology for navigation preparation.
- Contribute to the reduction of fuel consumption for light aircrafts and be engaged in sustainable development of aviation.
Users and their needs
The SkyLiberty service users (and customers) belong primarily to the following two categories:
- General aviation pilots (student pilots and private pilots). Ultimately, SkyLiberty could also be used by commercial pilots.
- Aviation Training Operators (ATOs) and flying clubs.
The preparation of a flight navigation is often quite long and difficult for pilots who have to find out all relevant information in order to perform a safe and efficient flight. The various information required to prepare and select the best flight route includes airspace status and activation, meteorological context, topography to name a few. Pilots will then confront these data to their type of license, experience and qualifications. Obviously, such a work is of course more complicated for low experienced private pilots than for confirmed professional pilots.
Nowadays, a lot of technologies have emerged in aeronautics such as geo-localization systems, smartphones and tablets, which bring a number of benefits (e.g. easy access to data, automated routing) to ease flight preparation. At the same time, such tools also come with potential hazards. For instance, pilots can rely too heavily on such navigation technologies, which for some of them, display ground speed (the speed of the aircraft related to the ground) instead of indicated airspeed (the speed of the aircraft in the air mass) which can stall the aircraft.
Pilots therefore need:
- An intuitive and easy but reliable access to navigation (aeronautical, geographical, meteorological and aeronautical regulations) data.
- A system compliant with all national authorities associate to airspaces where pilot may have to fly
- A real-time solution provided at an acceptable cost
The SkyLiberty service also targets a second category of users including Aviation Training Organisations (ATOs) and flying clubs. Indeed, SkyLiberty offers as a service the possibility to track the position of any aircraft of the fleet in real time as well as to communicate with an inflight aircraft. This allows for instance to track student pilots during their mandatory solo navigations, better adjust aircraft bookings, and provide accurate statistical data about the aircraft utilisation (e.g. to plan maintenance slots for instance).
Service/ system concept
SkyLiberty relies on 2 main components: the SkyLiberty software application as well as an electronic device named SkyLink.
The application offers different services to the following five stakeholders:
➡ For pilots, several modules of the application can support the end-to-end management of each flight:
- Flight preparation: management of flight license and medical certificate validity, visualisation of Aeronautical Information Publications (AIP), weather assessment, aircraft status assessment, flight planning, collection of handling information, community knowledge and sharing information, etc.
- Flight execution: navigation aid, weather assessment, real-time aeronautical information, fuel flow management, etc.
- After the flight: logbook management, aircraft flight book management, aircraft statistical data compilation, payment, experience sharing, etc.
The modules are independent but can offer more functionalities when pilots buy several modules.
➡ For aircraft operators: ESNAH will provide a complete tool for aircraft fleet management and flight data analyses. The service will offer operators the possibility to anticipate maintenance and share important information concerning aircraft status and operability among pilots.
➡ For airport operators: SkyLiberty contributes to EASA’s (the European Aviation Safety Agency) safety reports and safety culture. SkyLiberty services aim to reduce light aircraft runway incursions and will improve and facilitate light aircrafts integration into traffic of large airports.
➡ For aviation institutions: the SkyLiberty web interface is a connecting tool between the flight safety manager of a flight school and national institutions (for instance for handling pilot anonymous incident reports).
➡ For general people: SkyLiberty offers several services to passenger using light aircraft transport for leisure or business (e.g. real time following flight for friends and families).
SkyLiberty Application Homepage
The supporting electronic device (SkyLink), is extending the SkyLiberty software solution and allows:
- Aircraft operator (e.g. flying clubs, Aviation training Organisations) to receive real-time information and communicate with an inflight aircraft.
- To send flight notification to the families and relatives of passengers.
- Perform smart tracking of any aircraft equipped.
- Provide reliable statistical data about the flown aircraft to pilots.
SkyLink Device - Prototype during Flight testing
Space Added Value
➡ SkyLiberty requires a high quality of geolocation system. Data are used for avoiding the airspace infringement, detect runway incursion, provide a reliable real time following flight and can be used in high-precision navigation competitions.
➡ Above 2000 feet, the GPRS network is not available for pilots who can therefore no longer obtain real-time data during the flight. SkyLiberty offers to use Satellite communication to allow internet connection and share real-time information according to the services proposed.
Weather satellite imagery provide pilots with a clear visualisation of the enroute weather which is the most dangerous environmental factor during the flight.
The Final Review meeting was successfully held on 25 May 2018 and marked the end of the SkyLiberty demonstration project.
The trials performed during the project demonstrated that the installation and the utilisation of the SkyLiberty application and its associated services by an aircraft operator for the booking, monitoring and management of a fleet of light airplanes was very smooth and effective. Based on the user feedback collected, ESNAH stabilized and improved the applications and after almost 2 months of intensive use, all these users declared to be very satisfied with the services offered. The community of pilots using SkyLiberty is increasing every day. On the Final review day, SkyLiberty had already more than 1000 users.
The SkyLiberty service demonstration allowed ESNAH to reach the following points:
Every defect report is seen before flying (increasing by 80% the consulting of defect report during pre-flight checklist)
The delay of flight plan due to refuel pending is reduced by 30% (10 min versus 45min)
The reliability of the weight and balance before flight is improved of about 62%
SkyLiberty Project has decreased by 40% the effort from the operator to keep the documentation up to date
The effort from the operator to manage flight log has decreased by 60%
ESNAH has developed a routing algorithm able to reduce the fuel consumption up to 34% for light aircraft
The weather consultation during long flight (more than 2h) increased by 84%
This positive commitment of the operator and feedback from pilots has allowed ESNAH to move further and start the integration of the SkyLink device into the dashboard of the planes and its connection to the primary bus bar and the avionic bus bar.
Although originally developed to meet aviation needs, the flexibility of SkyLiberty has allowed to expand to other areas, such as the maritime environment for boat tracking (IAP Profumo project) or the domain of food transportation. | aerospace |

The space agency today is focused on privatizing cargo and astronaut transport to the International Space Station, then sending explorers to nearby asteroids in the late 2020s. But the moon just won’t go away. Our nearest cosmic companion keeps popping up in discussions of where robots—and humans—should head next in space.
In the last 10 years, the U.S., Japan, Europe, India, and China have resumed the robotic exploration of the moon. Both China and Japan have expressed interest in returning human explorers there, with China announcing late last year a series of technological steps leading to a manned lunar mission.
Just this week, NASA itself unveiled a robot to prospect for lunar water ice and oxygen. (As I noted this week, tapping those kinds of resources could be a bonanza for future explorers by drastically reducing mission costs or supplying life-support needs at an astronaut outpost.) The Regolith and Environment Science and Oxygen and Lunar Volatile Extraction, or RESOLVE, is a four-wheeled drill rig, the size of a golf cart. Once safely on the moon, RESOLVE will drill for the ice deposits already spotted from orbiting sensors, and process lunar rocks and soil to release oxygen. RESOLVE will start field trials in July on lava beds outside Hilo, Hawaii.
But while NASA is thinking about lunar robots, Russia is thinking bigger. At the Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX) in Washington last month, Russian space agency head Vladimir Popovkin confirmed that Russia has long-range plans to send cosmonauts to the moon. “We’re not talking about repeating what mankind achieved 40 years ago,” he said. “We’re talking about establishing permanent bases.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Russia’s space agency talk about a moon base. In March, a leaked technology road map document from Roscosmos (that nation’s federal space agency) suggested that the country could establish a cosmonaut outpost there soon after 2025. Speaking in April 2011 on the fiftieth anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s first orbital flight, then-prime minister Vladimir Putin said, “Russia should not limit itself to the role of an international space ferryman. We need to increase our presence on the global space market.”
Russian interest in the moon goes back half a century or more. Locked in a Cold War space race with the U.S., Russia was first to image the lunar far side, first to send a probe to strike the moon, first to soft-land a robot spacecraft there, and the first to return a robot sampling spacecraft from the lunar surface. But by the mid-1970s, having lost the manned moon race to Apollo and running short of cash, the Soviets left the lunar arena.
Now, though, Russia is looking back to the moon as a way to remain a major player in space. Putin’s “ferryman” comment refers to the fact that Russia provides all the crew transportation to the ISS, and will do so for the next five years. But its transport monopoly could end by 2017, when the U.S. hopes to restore its own astronaut launch capability. …
Yes, that’s the Russian flag, the white blue and red. The Soviet flag is no more. It has been gone for more than 20 years.
Polish news anchor Piotr Krasko has publicly apologized for his station mistakenly showing the Soviet flag during a report about the Polish-Russian soccer match at the Euro 2012 tournament. The graphic of the flag with the hammer and sickle appeared during a report on a news show on June 13 on TVP1, one day after Polish and Russian fans clashed in Warsaw. Krasko said the Soviet flag graphic was prepared for a report about previous matches between the Soviet Union and Poland. Krasko said it was an “unintentional mistake and at the worst possible moment.”

This duration is a bit of a problem, as it makes space exploration a painstakingly slow process. Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year.
How long would it take to travel 40 light years?
A brief calculation shows that this is: Or about 1/17,000 the speed of light. Therefore to go 1 light year at the speed Voyager 1 is going, would take 17,000 years. To go 40 light years, would take 700,000 years.
What is 1 light year away?
A light-year is the distance light travels in one year. How far is that? Multiply the number of seconds in one year by the number of miles or kilometers that light travels in one second, and there you have it: one light-year. It’s about 5.88 trillion miles (9.5 trillion km).
Is it possible to travel at the speed of light?
Tachyons. In special relativity, it is impossible to accelerate an object to the speed of light, or for a massive object to move at the speed of light. However, it might be possible for an object to exist which always moves faster than light.
Will we ever travel light years?
As of January 25, 2020, Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, is 148.7 AU away. Light in a vacuum travels around 300,000 kilometres (186,000 mi) per second, so 1 light-year is about 9.461×1012 kilometers (5.879 trillion miles) or 63,241 AU.
How many Earth years is a Lightyear?
For most space objects, we use light-years to describe their distance. A light-year is the distance light travels in one Earth year. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km).
How fast is warp speed?
Thus warp 9 corresponds to a speed of 900 billion kilometers per hour (= 250 million kilometers per second) or about 830 times the speed of light.
What is 1 light year equal to in Earth years?
For most space objects, we use light-years to describe their distance. A light-year is the distance light travels in one Earth year. One light-year is about 6 trillion miles (9 trillion km). That is a 6 with 12 zeros behind it!
How long would it take to travel 500 light years?
The current flight speed is about 17 kilometers per second, flying about 3.6 astronomical units per year. 500 light years is equal to 3,162,053,8 astronomical units and needs to fly 8,783,483 years. | aerospace |

It cites the risk that the missiles could be smuggled out of Syria by terrorists.
The report was released just hours after the Federal Aviation Administration issued a notice Monday to U.S. airlines banning all flights in Syrian airspace. The agency said armed extremists in Syria are "known to be equipped with a variety of anti-aircraft weapons which have the capability to threaten civilian aircraft." The agency had previously warned against flights over Syria, but had not prohibited them.
Small Arms Survey, a Switzerland-based research organization that analyzes the global flow of weapons, published its findings Tuesday after last month's lethal missile attack on a passenger jet flying over Ukraine. The report focuses on launchers and missiles known as "man-portable air defense systems," or MANPADS, which are dangerous to planes flying at lower altitudes or ones taking off or landing.
The new report estimated that several hundred anti-aircraft missile systems are already in rebel arsenals. Mostly Russian and Chinese in origin, the weapons have been seized by Syrian opposition militias from government forces and smuggled in from nations sympathetic to the insurgents, the report said.

Specifically, it is considered to be a word coined in France around 1875. The person responsible for this action was Clément Arder.
An airplane is a vehicle that you can scroll through the air thanks to the fact that it has a motor and with at.
This means of transport is part of the set of aircraft, as all flying vehicles are known. In the specific case of the aircraft, it is a aerodyne: a vehicle heavier than air, supported by aerodynamic forces.
The plane is the passenger vehicle fastest today and the most used to travel long distances. It is possible to differentiate between different types of aircraft according to their use. The civil aircraft are those that are used to transport passengers or cargo. Also included in this group are medical planes and those used to combat the fire.
The military aircraftsInstead, they are owned by the armed forces. Bombers, fighter planes and those destined to transport troops are some of these planes.
Other interesting facts about airplanes are the following:
-Passenger aircraft, in order to offer the greatest comfort and comfort to those, have seats with armrests, auxiliary table and reading light. Not forgetting that, within this category, are those that offer multimedia content in order to make the journey as bearable as possible for travelers.
-The Boeing 747 is the world’s number one aircraft within the passenger category. After it is the Boeing 777, which can carry up to 500 people, and the Boeing 737.
-Freight aircraft, on the other hand, which are intended for the transport of goods, are larger than passenger aircraft and do not have seats. In the same way, its doors are wider to allow what is transported to be introduced and removed to the outside more comfortably.
-The aeronautical company with the most sales in the world is Boeing.
Although the man always felt the desire to fly, the aviation industry began to develop only at the beginning of the twentieth century. On 1903, the wright brothers they managed to make the first flight with a motor plane. Since then there were multiple technological advances that improved capacity, autonomy, speed and safety of airplanes.
Although many people have fear to fly, the accidents with airplanes are less frequent than accidents with land transport vehicles, such as cars and buses (also called buses, buses or colectivos).
On a cultural level, plane accidents have given a lot of “play” to the world of literature, cinema or television. A good example of this is, for example, the successful series “Perdidos” (Lost). This takes as its starting point the moment when a passenger plane crashes on an island and only a few individuals manage to survive. | aerospace |

After 9 Years In Space New Horizons Mission Still Has No Image Release Policy
Keith’s note: At a NASA press event today, the New Horizons team decided to make their mission less accessible to the public in real time. New Horizons was supposed to be an open mission where everything is shared with everyone as soon as it arrives on Earth. Not any more. They changed their mind and have reversed previous public statements. Just watch as these images will be leaked to selected media first as has been the case with other mission news. What is really baffling is the TBD nature of image release policy. This mission left Earth 9 years ago and basic things such as the overall image release policy are still TBD? #FAIL
Stern: Will share LORRI images to NASA websites. Plans TBD. Won't be instantaneous but will be as fast as we can; team wants to look first.

Air New Zealand's inaugural Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flight from Auckland to Perth will run this Friday 12 September.
The Dreamliner's debut on the Auckland-Perth route comes a month ahead of the previously-scheduled 15 October date, and will make the eight hour flight as NZ175, departing Auckland at 2.20pm to reach Perth at 6.10pm.
The jet will then turn around and head back to Auckland as NZ176, with wheels-up time from Perth at 9.15pm.
A spokesperson for Air New Zealand confirmed the revised date to Australian Business Traveller this afternoon, saying "the inaugural 787-9 Dreamliner service from Auckland to Perth is this Friday 12 September, departing Auckland at 2.20pm (NZT)."
AirNZ Boeing 787 programme director Kerry Reeves told Australian Business Traveller earlier this year that while October 15 was "our target and that’s when we know we can guarantee the aircraft," the Dreamliner would “absolutely” fly to Perth before then, although without being locked into a daily service.
“It will be that we will choose to go on this day, and maybe not the next day.”
"While the aircraft is likely to continue to do daily Auckland-Perth return trips following the inaugural flight this Friday, the first date it’s guaranteed on this route is October 15" the Air New Zealand spokesperson clarified to Australian Business Traveller.
A glance at Air New Zealand's schedule beyond 12 September shows several instances of a Boeing 777-200 still appearing on flight NZ175/176 until the official debut of the daily service on October 15.
Air New Zealand expects to begin Boeing 787-9 flights from Auckland to Shanghai and Tokyo later this year on delivery of its second and third Dreamliners.

https://www.voxelmatters.com/indaero-business-multiple-airbus-suppliers/ | 2024-03-05T05:29:40 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707948217723.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20240305024700-20240305054700-00713.warc.gz | 0.949672 | 994 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__93708433 | en | Stratasys Ltd. announced that Spanish aerospace and engineering company, Indaero, has secured new business with several Tier 1 and Tier 2 Airbus suppliers following the use of Stratasys FDM 3D printing for the production of complex tools.
Spanish aerospace engineering and production specialist, Indaero, manufactures aircraft panels for key customers such as Airbus and its suppliers, offering a comprehensive range of services including design, engineering, tooling, welding and painting. With much of the competition limited to only a few services, the company invested in a Stratasys Fortus 450mc Production 3D Printer. The move has enabled Indaero to extend its offering into lightweight, complex tools that cannot be produced with traditional manufacturing, further differentiating itself as an end-to-end design to production service.
“Aerospace is unlike other industries, producing high volumes of tools,” explains Darío González Fernández, CEO of Indaero. “To traditionally manufacture production tools, injection molding or CNC machining would be used, but this would be very time-consuming and costly. With our Fortus 450mc 3D Printer, we can service low-volume production quickly and cost-effectively, pro ducing many different tools on-demand to accelerate the manufacturing process and ensure we meet customer delivery deadlines.
“The importance of the ULTEM 9085 material cannot be understated either,” he continues. “It has become an integral part of our production process, as it is certified for aerospace and well known by our customer Airbus for a number of aircraft applications.”
“With its unique combination of high strength-to-weight ratio and FST (flame, smoke, and toxicity) certification, we can 3D print robust, lightweight tools and respond to short run production of flying parts if required – giving us a unique advantage versus competition.”
Complex ‘curved’ 3D printed tooling leads to increased business
“The 3D printer has been a game-changer for us,” says González. “The ability to 3D print curved production tools in robust materials made us realize the importance of having tools that perfectly fit the panels. Not only does it make the work of our operators much easier, it frees up resources and increases our overall productivity. This improvement was immediately recognized by a number of leading Airbus providers such as Aernnova, who previously worked with our competitors and whose business we have subsequently secured.”
The Fortus 450mc 3D Printer is used by Indaero to manufacture several production tools. Crucial to achieving this is the ability to quickly design and produce complex curved geometries that perfectly fit the intricate shapes of the aircraft panels. Previously, the company was limited to producing flat shapes with traditional methods, which affected the performance of the final tool during affixation to the panel by workers.
This is being exemplified through the company‘s work for Aernnova where the Fortus 450mc 3D Printer is being used to optimize a series of production tools for the manufacture of an Airbus NH90 Helicopter. In particular, a 3D printed manufacturing tool to fix a slide box onto the interior panel of the helicopter wing. Traditionally, an aluminum tool weighed twelve kilos and required two operators to hold it against the panel while marking the drill holes. With the complex geometries achievable with 3D printing, the team redesigned the tool with a curvature perfectly fitting the panel structure. As a result, Indaero provided Aernnova with a new, more effective tool, nine kilos lighter than its predecessor and capable of standing on its own.
“Integrating FDM 3D printing within production tooling for this project is delivering several clear benefits,” explains González. “Firstly, from a resource perspective there’s now no need for two operators as the tool fits against the panel independently – leaving one operator to position the slide box with both free hands. Secondly, we can produce a lightweight and robust tool 66% faster than with CNC machining. As a result, this part of the project is being completed ahead of time, leading to a reduction in manufacturing cost of over 50%. The customer response has been fantastic.”
Andy Middleton, President EMEA, Stratasys, concludes: “FDM has long been an additive technology of choice for the aerospace industry, particularly for customized tooling applications. Companies such as Indaero are leveraging high-performance materials, such as ULTEM 9085, to produce lighter weight, better performing tools on the production floor in less time and cost. It’s no surprise that these future-ready companies are improving business performance as a result.” | aerospace |

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -- The second launch of a Falcon Heavy rocket, which had been slated to lift off today, has been rescheduled. The cause of this readjustment to the mission's time table is one all too familiar to launch service providers working on the Space Coast.
The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is set to use the Hubble Space Telescope to conduct the largest ever survey of the Kuiper Belt.

May 20, 2020, 09:35 /Comserve / -- Avatarin Inc. or ANA Holdings Inc. (ANAHD) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) of Tokyo, Japan have together announced their project involving the world’s first space avatar that is being released on the International Space Station (ISS).
Avatarin Inc. or ANA Holdings Inc. (ANAHD) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) of Tokyo, Japan have together announced their project involving the world’s first space avatar that is being released on the International Space Station (ISS). The project, known as AVATAR-X project, is collaboration between both the ANAHD and JAXA under the JAXA Space Innovation through Partnership and Co-creation initiative or the J-SPARC.
The space avatar will be deployed on the ISS while it is orbiting the planet at a speed of 8 kilometer per second and at an altitude of 400 km. This space avatar system would consist of a real-world robot that can be operated by a human, who can experience the environment in space by hearing, seeing, feeling and interacting in real-time. This is made possible through the technology that allows the sensation of touch, sight and sound, by the system which is then detected by the operator, i.e., the human controlling the device. The robotic avatar technology created as a part of this project is expected to result in acceleration of various space-based businesses that aim to bring human access to the space through various innovative approaches.
ANA Holdings Inc. will be responsible for the deployment of this space avatar inside Kibo, the experimental module of Japan at ISS. Through a window installed near the Kibo module, the users or the operators would be able to experience the real-time view of space while operating the device. All of this would be possible from inside a public and non-JAXA facility located in Tokyo, Japan.
The AVATAR-X program was launched in September 2018 by JAXA and ANAHD and consists of about 30 other partners, including private and public organizations.

The paper describes an indoor helicopter testbed that allows implementing and testing of bio-inspired control algorithms developed from scientific studies on insects. The helicopter receives and is controlled by simulated sensory inputs (e.g. visual stimuli) generated in a virtual 3D environment, where the connection between the physical world and the virtual world is provided by a video camera tracking system. The virtual environment is specified by a 3D computer model and is relatively simple to modify compared to realistic scenes. This enables rapid examinations of whether a certain control law is robust under various environments, an important feature of insect behavior. As a first attempt, flight stabilization and yaw rate control near hover are demonstrated, utilizing biologically realistic visual stimuli as in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

24 May 2016
Airbus’ patented design of the X3 copter managed to reach speeds of 293mph during tests, making it the fastest non-tilt-rotor helicopter in the world.
The concept is part of the Airbus Helicopters’ high speed, long range, hybrid helicopter initiative. With the new patent, Airbus can now offer a development on its original X3 design.
The design of the aircraft sees a pair of wing-mounted engines with pusher propellers in addition to the conventional main rotor. This eliminates the need for a tail rotor to counter the torque of the main rotor. The aircraft’s propellers are mounted behind the wings instead of in front, according to the patent, this reduces noise and vibrations and improves lift and passenger safety.
The idea behind the design is for the aircraft to fly like a helicopter but have the ability to transform into an airplane during flight, still being able to descend vertically like a helicopter.
Future development will see the design include turbojet engines, according to the patent authors. Yet, it is unclear whether the X3 developed design will ever see production in its current pretext.

Fralock is a leading provider of flexible circuit solutions used in satellite solar arrays in support of some of the world’s largest satellite manufacturers. Our products are found on a full range of missions across the military, civil and commercial space markets. Orbiting Earth in fixed and rotating wing applications as well as in body-mounted panels, our advanced solar panel products are used in flex-to-deploy and flex-to-fit as well as in static applications.
Flexible Solar Arrays (panels) are a primary source of electrical power for spacecraft. Whether driven by electrical propulsion or ever increasing communication bandwidth requirements, system power levels are escalating rapidly with the area of large arrays now measuring in the 10’s of square meters. This places greater emphasis than ever on the low mass, thin and compact features of Fralock’s flex circuits, not to mention the design and packaging benefits offered.
Fralock’s ability to create large formats, combined with full-folding characteristics, means that complex, single circuits that are many meters in length can be achieved. Those single circuits will eliminate connections while adding to system reliability and mass reduction.
Many of our customers describe legacy designs which are so fragile that the mere handling, let alone assembly work, compromises the product such that time consuming and expensive replacements are needed. Not so with Fralock’s circuits. They can be folded and creased with no degradation and no need for “spares” to reliably assure assembly.
We support our customers’ engineering departments by providing design and development expertise to individually optimize each flexible circuit for the application, resulting in the highest performance and lowest cost solution in the least amount of time.
All Polyimide, Adhesiveless Flexible, Rigid-Flex and Rigid

It’s the final destination on NASA’s planetary tour of the solar system, which began more than a half-century ago. Pluto was still a full-fledged planet when New Horizons rocketed away in 2006, only to become demoted to dwarf status later that year.
The 3 billion-mile journey from Cape Canaveral, Florida, culminates Tuesday at 7:49 a.m. EDT. That’s when the spacecraft is due to fly past Pluto at 31,000 mph.
The New Horizons team gathered at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, won’t know for many hours if everything went well. The spacecraft will be too busy taking photographs and collecting information to “phone home.” A confirmation signal is expected at around 9 p.m. EDT.
New Horizons has already beamed back the best-ever images of Pluto and big moon Charon. Pluto also has four little moons.
“The Pluto system is enchanting in its strangeness, its alien beauty,” principal scientist Alan Stern told reporters Monday.
Discovered in 1930, Pluto is the largest object in the so-called Kuiper Belt, considered the third zone of the solar system after the inner rocky planets and outer gaseous ones. This unknown territory is a shooting gallery of comets and other small bodies.
An extension of the $720 million mission, not yet approved, could have New Horizons flying past another much smaller Kuiper Belt object, before departing the solar system.

Northborough – Doug Stone of Northborough inherited from his late father a passion for flying and his 1948 Piper Cub, as well as an interest in helping the younger generation. He has incorporated those inheritances into one mission. Stone was honored for volunteering 25 years with the Young Eagles program at this summer’s Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) annual AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis.
Founded in 1992, the Young Eagles introduces youth ages 8 to17 to aviation by giving them their first free ride in an airplane. The young aviation enthusiasts are piloted by volunteer EAA members internationally. Since the program’s inception, 50,000 volunteer pilots have participated worldwide. Stone is one of only 14 who has volunteered for 25 consecutive years.
“My dad always wanted to give back to youth,” Stone noted. “Even though he never saw the Young Eagles program, I’m sure he would be happy to know that his plane is helping young people enjoy their first experiences of flight.”
His father, Richard Stone, owned and operated a flight school at Westboro Airport, which closed in 1977. A young Stone recalls visiting the airport frequently and developing an interest in aviation at a young age.
“When I was 11, I hitched a ride in a Piper Cub, which is what I fly now,” he said. “At 13, I started flying lessons in my dad’s plane. I got serious at 19 and got my pilot’s license when I was 21.”
When Westboro Airport closed, Stone helped his father move their hangar to Marlboro Airport. His father passed away in 1988 and Stone became owner of the 1948 Piper Cub. He also became an EAA member and active in its local Chapter 673 based at Marlboro Airport.
“This chapter took a great interest in the Young Eagles program,” he said. “Back then, the EAA had announced this program’s mission was to try to fly one million young people by the year 2003, the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ discovery of flight. Not only did they make the one million mark in 2003, but last year they passed over two million.”
On the ground, the volunteer pilots such as Stone first explain to young fliers what they can expect during the approximately 15-minute flight in a two- or four-seat plane. Once in flight, the young fliers can learn to operate the airplane because the volunteer pilot has dual controls.
“It definitely gives them the sensation of flying the plane,” Stone said.
Following the flight, they have the option of continuing aviation studies with an online flight-training course, which is free of charge.
The free flights of the Marlborough-based Young Eagles program piloted by Stone and other EAA volunteers will be relocated, noted Dudley Darling, Chapter 673 president.
“Doug deserves recognition for giving a taste of aviation to so many youngsters over the past 25 years,” Darling shared by email. “Unfortunately, Marlboro Airport is going to cease being a public airport at the end of September. After that, we will coordinate with Chapter 196 at Minute Man Air Field in Stow.”
Stone is looking forward to piloting more Young Eagles flights in his Piper Cub.
“I’ve piloted flights with pretty close to 300 kids; I’d like to hit that mark within the next year,” he said. “The program has opened a lot of doors for youth that are interested in finding out about aviation. It’s a positive experience that they can take advantage of as they search for their place in life. It’s good for the EAA because they’re looking to keep up their membership and interest in aviation.

During a command and staff exercise in the Dnipro region, the latest aerial reconnaissance equipment manufactured in Ukraine was practically used.
The public relations service of the Eastern Air Command reported this on Facebook.
"Domestic unmanned aerial systems manufactured by Skyeton performed the task of detecting and monitoring the objects of a conventional enemy with the provision of real-time information about the target's location for an air strike," said Major General Oleh Strutsinsky, commander of the Eastern Air Command.
According to him, the unmanned aerial vehicle is designed to be used in civilian and military spheres to carry out tactical reconnaissance and search operations within 24 hours at a cruising speed of 120 km/h.
Also, the ability of enemy radar detection to detect the elements of the complex has been technically minimized: it was taken into account that GPS navigation in the combat zone is ineffective, so the complex was designed to be as GPS-independent as possible. The aircraft's relatively small size and successful design make it "invisible" to the enemy from the ground.

JNS.org – An Israeli space communications satellite began operating this week, marking a major milestone after the loss of two similar satellites in as many years.
The Amos-7, designed by the Israeli company Spacecom, replaced the aging Amos-2 communications satellite and will service clients in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The Amos-6 had been intended for that same purpose, before it was destroyed last September when an explosion engulfed the Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket carrying the satellite during a routine test at Cape Canaveral Airbase in Florida. The explosion occurred two days before the satellite was scheduled to be launched into orbit. Spacecom had lost contact with the Amos-5 communications satellite in 2015.
Amos-7 is the first addition to Spacecom’s fleet since the Florida explosion. In orbit since 2014, the satellite was procured from Asia Satellite Telecommunications Holdings for $22 million per year for four years, with an option to extend the contract for an additional year.
“The satellite is a key element in expanding our multi-regional growth patterns and enhancing the array of communications — broadcast, broadband and data — that we can provide,” said Spacecom’s senior vice president of sales, Jacob Keret.
Spacecom also recently announced it is buying a satellite from Boeing Satellite Systems International for $161 million. | aerospace |

Growing demand for applications in building information modeling (bim) supported by aerial photography and 3d scanning
Due to the widespread availability of low-cost drones, photography has become well-known for applications requiring high-resolution cameras. Aerial photography offers new perspectives on innovative city projects, large township projects, and multi-story building projects. Mini drones are also becoming popular for wedding photography and videography.
Furthermore, the real estate and infrastructure industries also see increased demand for drones. For instance, Skydio introduced Skydio 3D Scan, an optional software suite for its self-flying drones that enables them to produce incredibly detailed designs.
Increased adoption of drone services in agriculture to drive market growth
Drones are used for various commercial purposes, including agriculture, transportation, mapping, aerial photography, and videography. Drones increase productivity and improve farming methods. The growing demand for precision farming propels the agricultural industry and expands the drone services market. Precision farming has the potential to increase crop productivity.
Drone OEMs focus on research to develop thermal cameras, multispectral sensors, and LiDar to improve drone effectiveness. Drones with sensors fly at a predetermined altitude to collect analytical data. Additionally, several government initiatives are also expected to increase market growth. For instance, the government of India recently offered a 100% subsidy, or 10 lakhs, to Farm Machinery Training and Testing Institutes, ICAR Institutes, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, and State Agriculture Universities on January 23, 2022, to encourage the use of drones for agricultural purposes and reduce the labor burden on farmers.
Inadequate risk management and insurance coverage for aerial delivery drones
Due to a lack of insurance coverage, service providers & manufacturers of aerial delivery drones face the risk of losing parcels delivered by delivery drones. For airborne delivery drones to be used properly, service providers and manufacturers must work closely with regulatory bodies.In several countries, drone users must have insurance coverage to cover liabilities in the event of an accident.
Current drone insurance focuses on the risk of personal injury & property damage caused by the drone. Before operations begin, a contract must be signed between the delivery drone service providers and the customers using those services.
The Covid-19 pandemic had a positive effect on the global drone service industry. The pandemic's impact caused significant disruption in the logistics and transportation systems. The ability of drones to deliver goods and services in remote locations without human intervention has invented a new opportunity in the transportation industry.
For instance, Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, launched the Air Program in July 2022. In this program, Amazon used drones as automated flying machines to deliver packages to customers. Drones have been used by police departments as well as governments all over the world to conduct remote policing and enforce social distancing.
Based on the service, the drone service market is segmented into drone platform service, drone MRO service, and drone training & stimulation services. The drone platform services segment generates 41% of the revenue share in 2022.
Due to MRO's costs, productivity, and safety implications, most businesses digitize the MRO process to optimize inventory levels, streamline procurement, improve supply chain relationships, and remain at the forefront of equipment failures.
Drone platform services are expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to the high adaptability of data collection in various commercial domains. Drones provide commercial and residential sectors with services such as photography, construction site supervision, assessment, ortho mosaic, aerial survey, data capture and analysis, drone modeling, and others. However, drone service is widely used in major sectors such as defense, energy and power, homeland security, and others.
Based on the end user, the drone service market is segmented into agriculture, infrastructure, oil & gas, and logistics. In 2022, the agriculture segment dominated the market. Farmers can benefit from drones for crop spraying, monitoring, and field surveillance. This can give farmers real-time images of their crops for various purposes such as pest control, disease outbreak monitoring, and water usage efficiency.
Moreover, drone analytics can also interpret data such as soil moisture, temperature, wind speed, and precipitation. These drones are also used for planting seeds as well as for pollination.
On the other hand, the logistics segment is expected to be the fastest growing in 2022 due to increased demand for fast packaging delivery systems in the healthcare industry. A drone can automatically read Quick Response (QR) codes, which aids in the identification of shipping containers, delivery boxes, and other items.
Drones are also equipped with radio frequency identification (RFID) scanners, which assist in locating and identifying items that are not visible from the ground. Additionally, operators use electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers to view images captured by drone services and even operate drones using these electronic devices to reach the desired location.
Based on the application, the drone service market is segmented into aerial photography, product delivery, surveillance & inspection, and data acquisition & analytics. The aerial photography segment dominates the market due to the increased use of drones for aerial photography and videography at specific events.
Furthermore, the availability of low-cost drones with exceptional qualities such as high-definition cameras, low weight and size, and portability features causes professional photographers and videographers, media entertainment, and filmmakers to adopt drones, propelling the market growth. Drones can obtain information about a target without making physical contact with it, which increases the demand for drones in remote sensing applications, which leads the market.
The surveillance and inspection market is expanding at the fastest pace. This segment is critical as drones are primarily used as a specialized tool that allows surveyors and mappers to collect necessary data and measurements for terrain mapping, site planning, and other applications, thereby saving manpower, money, and time.
The escalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine benefits the growth of the drone services market. Drones are used in both countries for border surveillance and inspection to track enemy movements. This factor promotes the expansion of local drone-based businesses in the European region.
North America held the highest share of the global drone services market in terms of value. This is due to major service providers' presence and early adoption of high-end drone technologies. Furthermore, the region's market is driven by increased demand for aerial photography in the real estate and construction sectors. The US is a significant market for drone services in North America, accounting for a large share of the region's market.
Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. Large drone service providers exist in APAC countries such as China and Japan. Limited regulation on commercial drone use and price drop drive market demand. Furthermore, the rise is attributed to increased government and OEM investments in drone services propelling the market.
For instance, the drone industry in India is still in its early stage, with a total revenue of USD 600 million. Still, on April 22, 2022, the Indian government announced a USD 1,200 million incentive for developing the drone service industry and creating 100,000 job opportunities in the coming years.

This is a densely-packed 328-page volume covering the " Development, Production and Technical history " of this long-serving Luftwaffe multi-role aircraft compiled by US technical author, engineer and pilot William Medcalf, better known to some as "Artie Bob". The text is well supported by several hundred rare photographs, manufacturer's handbook data and technical illustrations, scale line drawings and colour artwork courtesy of the excellent Simon Schatz and the incomparable Janusz Swaitlon. Medcalf describes the development and gestation of the Ju 88 with emphasis on flight testing and series construction and compares its performance with contemporary aircraft from abroad. The Ju 88 was probably the finest bomber to serve in the Luftwaffe bomber force, but its design, construction and speed meant that it was adaptable as a night-fighter, heavy fighter, torpedo-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. This high-performance aircraft entered service in limited numbers during the campaign over Poland in 1939, but subsequently flew on every battle front on which the Luftwaffe operated throughout World War 2, from the early Blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939/40 through to the Mediterranean and the vast Russian theatre. It was known widely as a feared night fighter, " representing the pinnacle of German aeronautical design technology" according to author Medcalf who has researched the type over a forty-year period.
Posing the question in his introduction " Can a non-German write a good book about a Luftwaffe aircraft ? " ( to reprise and possibly preempt the comments of the incomparable Peter Achs uttered elsewhere ) the author provides plenty of convincing evidence that they can! Of course
The Ju 88 served in numbers with the air forces of Finland, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Spain and France and its appeal as a combat aircraft, especially to modellers, is perhaps in large part due to its widely dispersed service. Its variants are also covered in depth - including the entire 188/288/388 family- as is the wide array of armament and equipment with which it was fitted - the Ju 88 A mounting RZ 65 rocket launchers suspended from the ETC racks was new to me. Modellers are well catered for with plenty of detail pics and illustrations along with Simon and Janusz's brilliant profile artwork covering a variety of markings and camouflage schemes - personal favourite here is probably the full-page artwork of the Ju 188 V3 WNr 10008 "ST+GL" that served as GfM Milch's personal transport as painted by Janusz Swaitlon.
The last chapter "Flying and Fighting the Ju 88, Ju 188 and Ju 388 " (Chapter 14 pages 279-307) serves as a prequel for the forthcoming volume II entitled " At war -Day and Night ", a work that looks just as exciting by the way. I am also pleased to report ( as a German-speaking enthusiast with a penchant for pilot accounts ) that my very modest contribution to Vol I appears on pages 304/305 with more to come in Vol II.. | aerospace |

In fact, it could even survive in space. And here’s a proof.
According to a report from nbcnews.com, a space cargo ship was suspected to have been infected by mold. As a result, when it reached the International Space Station, it was opened a day late than scheduled.
The space craft questioned for mold presence was particularly the Albert Einstein Automated Transfer Vehicle or (ATV)-4. An unmanned space ship, it was designated to deliver science equipments, spare parts and food and clothing for the crew in the space station.
However, it was said that the Russian management was dissatisfied with the decontamination procedures done on the vehicle before its take off. Hence, when (ATV)-4 docked at the space station on Saturday, it wasn’t opened until Tuesday when all the bags inside were wiped down with fungicide.

“It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that international differences can still crop up on the final frontier: Take the case of the European Space Agency’s Einstein cargo craft, for example. Russian concerns about some potentially moldy cargo bags caused a holdup in the schedule for unloading seven tons of supplies.
The Albert Einstein Automated Transfer Vehicle linked up with the International Space Station on Saturday, delivering a payload that included scientific experiments, clothing, spare parts and an assortment of European-style goodies such as tiramisu and lasagne.”
Read more about Suspected Mold Presence Delayed Space Cargo Ship Opening at: nbcnews.com
Mold could grow and spread very fast. And because the International Space Station hasn’t been immune from it, it is understandable why the Russians are so keen about cleaning the space cargo ship from its possible presence.
But if mold could thrive even in space, then surely, it could also grow in your place. Even if you don’t see it, it could already be risking your health.
Hence, you must always be alert and ready to do a mold removal treatment. That way, you could stop the infestation early, save your health from serious mold risks, spare your house from major damages and avoid big mold remediation expense.
Before you could do a mold removal though, you first need to find where the infestation is. And with that, you would need the help of mold symptoms such as dark circular stains and musty smell.
Additionally, you would need a mold spray to do a prompt mold remediation. Out of the many mold removal products though, Molderizer and Safe Shield are the best ones you could get. Molderizer could effectively kill mold faster than bleach and Safe Shield could provide mold protection to items and surfaces for up to four months.
Both mold cleaning and protection sprays are also made with organic ingredients. And so, the use of them doesn’t pose any threat to your health and the environment. | aerospace |

(p. B1) Once every 20 years or so, the companies that make jet engines battle it out for a chance to power the next generation of single-aisle airplanes.
. . .
General Electric Co. unveiled plans to develop a new family of engine cores that it said would vault it ahead of United Technologies Corp.’s Pratt & Whitney, which has a two-year head start on a novel engine that promises to burn 12% less fuel than today’s best engines.
GE, which is working with French partner Safran SA, said its engine will have fewer moving parts than Pratt & Whitney’s, and will deliver equal or better performance. “We’ve been pretty quiet for the last couple of years, but we’ve been doing plenty of work in secret,” said GE Aviation President David Joyce, in an interview. “So be it. Game on.”
. . .
Besides GE and Pratt & Whitney, the other major player in the industry is Britain’s Rolls-Royce PLC. Hoping to dominate the market, all three companies plan to spend well over $1 billion on their new engines, stretching the limits of their technology. Developing fuel-efficient engines requires the use of exotic alloys and ceramic coatings that can cope with internal engine temperatures that would be above the melting points of untreated metal components.
The next generation of engines may look radically different from those used today. One design that GE and Rolls-Royce are exploring separately would have a double row of propellers at the (p. B3) back end of the engine, with no protective covering. Such an engine would be noisier and significantly slower than today’s planes. It also would have to be mounted at the rear of the airplane, but the companies say it would consume as much as 24% less fuel.
. . .
Pratt & Whitney had hoped to get a boost in the engine race by promoting a design called the Geared Turbo Fan. It uses a gearbox at the front of the engine that allow various fans and compressors to turn at different speeds for greater efficiency and less noise. . . .
. . .
The company has been working on the gear technology for almost 20 years, investing almost $1 billion so far, Mr. Finger said. He said that in addition to fuel and emissions savings, the new engine will cut noise by a factor of two and reduce maintenance by 40% because it will have fewer moving parts throughout the engine.

While these fake torrents were configured to look legitimate, they were actually bypassing all the checks YTS has in place to prevent users from downloading illegal content.
As the TorrentFreak article points out, the site's demise is due to the fact that its current owners have little experience running a massive torrent site. The admins had no idea what to do when the site went down, and the fact that people were able to download movies and music from the site was only a matter of luck.
This week, the public had to endure a new -- and unexpected -- event. KickassTorrents was hacked and suspended. The site was offline for over a day, but the torrent site's administrators were able to bring it back online in time to kick off the month of January. However, the site's administrators soon admitted that the site's downtime was not because of a cyber attack.
As a professional pilot myself I have had to turn away from using P3D because of aerodynamics and flight control problems that dont exist in FSX or X-plane. I have flown P3Dv3 and X-plane and both have great flight sim experience and professional developers, P3D doesnt seem to have many of the bugs that X-plane has and I have never had a Aerosoft product crash or lock up. I can tell you that with X-plane or FSX you have to tweak and fiddle to get the plane to fly. The flybar is a joke, the flybar isnt shown correctly in the airbrakes, the flybar doesnt follow you into the stall and it doesnt allow you to increase or decrease the number of speed brakes in a proper way. You cant have more than 3 speed brakes, you cant select the side of the aircraft you would like to have speed brakes, you cant increase or decrease the speed brakes in a proper way, you can only move the front brakes, so you dont have any rotation speedbrakes, just a few front speed brakes. So when you are stuck in the stall just press the flaps button like a muppet, or if you have a multi engine aircraft pull up or byzantium roll. As to the flight control system, in X-plane or FSX the flight control system can be a pain to fly and the stiff flight control wings are horrible. In P3Dv3 and now P3Dv4 you have great flight control wings that are soft. Just fiddle with them and remember that you cant just move the speed brake pedals and you cant rotate the flight control in a proper way, you can only move the front speed brakes, which isnt a proper way of flying, so if you want to fly properly you have to pull off all the flight control on the ground and just fly with the flybar. For the flight control laws, you have to fiddle them in a way that doesnt make sense, rather it is a case of 'fiddling with the farkle knobs'. You have to adjust the flaps and speed brakes for perfect flight. P3D is amazing when it works, and it does work, there are just a lot of stability and flight control problems. 827ec27edc | aerospace |

Used some hidden elements in this one
1. Borrowed a Pegasus symbol from an Air Force squadron patch
2. Background is subdued and darkened camouflage to represent the "Interphase Cloaking Device"
3. Base patch modeled after the Deutschland-1 orbital space plane flight. A joint venture between NASA and DLR. This worked well for the whole project, in addition to being a tribute to an "Oberth Class" starship
4. Miraculously there were 8 names on the original patch and 8 names to come out of ENT: "These are the Voyages..." for the crew compliment. Most noteworthy are those of Captain Pressman and Ensign Riker
5. Changed the U.S. flag and German flag to those of the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan Star Empire to represent the "Treaty of Algeron" | aerospace |

Unmanned Aircraft System / Drone Flight and Technical Journey Log (Army Green Edition) Also available in other colors on Amazon just search for "drone log pink," blue, red, green, yellow, black, orange, purple, maroon, tan, war eagle, or roll tide/ Complete Logbook and Technical Journey Log for the Professional or Hobbyist Drone UAS Pilot It is important for you to capture your flight hours and any maintenance activities you perform as part of your flight operations. Under the FAA Part 107 ruleset governing the use of commercial and recreational small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS), a component of pilot / aircraft operation is accurate recording of pilot flight hours and platform maintenance. This log book has been designed to facilitate your safe operation and assist you in following current AMA and FAA best practices. The Logbook is divided into two major sections: Flight Logs and Technical Journey Logs Flight Logs are primarily used to capture your plan, equipment, mission information, safety checks, flight conditions, and of course your actual flight hours. After each mission, you will total your flight hours and add previous mission flight hours, to obtain your rolling total airtime. Technical Journey Logs are primarily used to capture any flight anomalies, defects, or maintenance issues along with any corrective actions to resolve or mitigate the problem and return your aircraft to airworthiness standards. Logbook supports 175 flight Missions and 875 individual flights Technical Journey Log / Fault correction section with support for over 75 maintenance action records Detailed Instruction section provides instructions on how to properly fill out the log entries and how to document flights, and document aircraft platform maintenance FAA Considerations Section Helpful Online Resources Section
Federal Aviation Regulations, COA, & Section 333 Exemption Compliant. This logbook has been specifically designed to be compliant with 14 CFR 61.51, Section 333 exemptions, and COA logbook requirements. Easy COA Reporting. If you have MULTIPLE aircraft, this will NOT work. Buy one logbook for each drone. The FAA requires that commercial operators who have 333 exemptions and "blanket" COA's to file monthly reports. It is EXTREMELY annoying to log all this information and then send it in via email. If you have one drone per logbook, do not have any takeoff or landing damage, equipment malfunctions, or lost link events, you could simply make scans of the pages for the month and email them into the FAA. The COA's say, "number of flights (per location, per aircraft)" & "total aircraft operational hours[.]" The columns only support one aircraft; however, recreational flyers could list multiple aircraft because they are currently not required to report. Disclaimer: Current FAA "blanket" COAs say "must submit the following information" and do not explicitly say scans are acceptable. The FAA could issue guidance in the future further clarifying the mode of report (text in email vs. scan in email). It is up to YOU to keep up to date on this. The FAA or Law Enforcement Can Request Your Logbook. 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(i) says, "Persons must present their pilot certificate, medical certificate, logbook, or any other record required by this part for inspection upon a reasonable request by" the FAA, an authorized representative from the National Transportation Safety Board, or any Federal, State, or local law enforcement officer. If your electronic logbook is on your device, do you really want to give law enforcement or the FAA your device? Furthermore, how are you to get the data off that device? Insurance. When you apply for insurance, they will ask you to fill out a form that is going to ask for all sorts of information. A logbook will assist you in filling out the form so you can receive the most accurate quote. Marketing. Showing a completed logbook to a potential customer is a great marketing point. Like the old adage, "A picture is worth a thousand words," a good logbook is worth a thousand flights. You can quickly demonstrate your flight experience by flipping through the pages. Furthermore, a well-kept and orderly logbook gives the impression that you are a professional. Required in Other Countries. Other countries such as South Africa require the drone logbook to be in paper. Paper is the current industry standard. Going for a Certificate/Rating. Individuals can use this logbook to apply their experience towards UAS certificates / ratings. While the FAA is still working on creating certificates and ratings, you can prepare for the future by logging everything now. Less Cumbersome. If you are marketing to a potential client, you can scan pages of your logbook and send it to them. It is more cumbersome to get the data off a phone or website. Very Little Problems. What happens if your phone is stolen, water damaged, battery dies, or there is poor cell phone signal? Paper does not need a cell signal or batteries. No Data Theft. You don't have to worry about data theft like you would with a website or an app. Fidelity. Electronic logbooks can be changed while pen and paper is permanent.

This ACS book from the FAA lists the standards and requirements for the Remote Pilot Certificate, issued for operating drones and small unmanned aircraft systems in the National Airspace System. The new Airman Certification Standards are ideal for checkride preparation, and will help applicants develop an understanding of how knowledge, risk management, and skill elements work together for safe performance of each required task they may be asked to perform during the checkride. For instructors, the ACS will serve as a guide for teaching and training an applicant everything they need to know for certification and safe operation within the National Airspace System. Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) will use the ACS to assess an applicant's understanding, knowledge, risk management considerations, and performance of each task. As always, ASA delivers authentic, accurate, and reliable FAA documents exactly as provided by the FAA. One noticeable change is that the FAA has adapted the size and format of the ACS so that it lists everything an applicant needs to know, consider, and do in order to pass both the knowledge test and the practical test for a certificate or rating. | aerospace |

We've written about the use unmanned air vehicles by maritime conservation organizations. We've also highlighted the use of drones by European navies to support naval forces in interdicting the stream of refugees moving across the Mediterranean from North Africa. In a predictable evolution of this trend, the non-profit Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) group has flown its first unmanned aircraft maritime patrols 30 nautical miles Southeast of Lampedusa, Italy from the motor vessel Phoenix. The two S-100 UAVs embarked on Phoenix and operated by Schiebel technicians will be able to locate and assess migrants in distress. According to MOAS co-founder Chris Catrambone, the drones will act as a "force multiplier" during their 21 day mission to assist navies in rescuing vessels along the most traversed migrant route.
by F. Patrick Filbert, Subject Matter Analyst-UAS, frederic.filbert.ctr(at)pacom.mil As technology improves, so does the capacity to expand a defensive perimeter to ever increasing ranges both horizontally and vertically. Identifying ways to penetrate this perimeter with assets and capabilities that do not require ever more expensive solutions requires creative use of current and emerging technological advances. Potential adversaries understand the United States (U.S.) is extremely technologically advanced with its warfighting systems. This requires a thinking enemy to develop ways to keep America’s advanced systems outside their sphere of influence; specifically, to both deny and create an inability to gain access to specific areas of operation. In the current vernacular, this is called creating an anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environment which has, as its backbone, advanced integrated air defense systems (IADS).

What are some of the ways the U.S. and other countries could defend maritime assets against swarms of Sea-Air drones? Consider a convoy system with human centered technology, algorithms from nature, and elements of gaming. Oakland University’s Loon Copter works equally well above and below the water’s surface. Photo: Oakland UniversityThe FAA estimated that one million drones would be sold during this 2015 holiday season. This estimate was based primarily on the proliferation of flying drones, however new domains of operation may open up soon. Premiering in 2015, the Loon Copterproves that, in time, these devices will be capable of traditional aerial flight, on-water surface operations, and sub-aquatic diving. Embedded Systems Research at Oakland University created the Loon Copter in 2014. In 2016, the design placed third in the UAE Drones for Good competition. The system works in air as well as in water because the four rotors balance and cut through air and water equa…
Classifying unmanned maritime systems by their operating domain: air, surface, or underwater - is both convenient and intuitive. But recently, navy and industry researchers have begun to explore the advantages of platforms that can operate in two domains, muddying the nomenclature. In the past year, several prototype multi-domain unmanned vehicles have been introduced.
The most popular combination of these hybrid drones is the air/sub-surface mixture - UAVs that float or swim. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland introduced the Corrosion Resistant Aerial Covert Unmanned Nautical System (CRACUNS), a submersible UAV designed to operate in the littorals which can be launched from a fixed position underwater or from an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV).
Rutger University's entry into the fray of flying/swimming drones is the Naviator, which can actually maneuver (sort of) underwater before surfacing and taking off. | aerospace |

Researchers are looking to see if the stresses of microgravity and radiation in the International Space Station environment will prompt the specimens to produce new natural products. “Microorganisms only make certain things when they need to,” USC School of Pharmacy professor Clay C.C. Wang told Popular Science. “We want to see if they actually make new compounds in space.”
The experiment launched successfully on Monday, July 18 aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, and docked at the International Space Station on Wednesday, July 20.
Of the eight different species of fungi sent to the International Space Station, two of the species (Cladosporium sphaerospermum and Cladosporium cladosporioides) are radiotrophic and use radiation as an energy source. The other six species were selected for their ability to produce compounds that could be used for medicinal and agricultural purposes.
BRIC-NP team members are Dr. Kasthuri Venkatswaran at Jet Propulsion Laboratories, Caltech (PI); Clay C.C. Wang, PhD at USC School of Pharmacy (coI); Dr. Tamas Torok at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (coI); graduate student Adriana Blachowicz at USC School of Pharmacy; graduate student Jillian Romsdahl at USC School of Pharmacy.
In Micro-10, another research project that launched to the International Space Station earlier this spring, Wang and colleagues examined the influence of microgravity on the production of Aspergillus secondary metabolites. It launched aboard a SpaceX resupply flight on Friday, April 8, and returned to earth in May.

Committee Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) opened the hearing by remarking that he remains "undecided" about the President's vision for exploration, and Ranking Minority Member Bart Gordon (D-TN) announced that, until he was convinced that the President's plan was credible and responsible, he was "not prepared to give the plan my support." While the panel of witnesses (which included former NASA officials) all supported further human exploration of space, they had varying opinions on aspects of the President's vision. There was disagreement over the value of the space station and the use of the Moon as a stepping stone to Mars, and no consensus on the cost of the initiative. Some felt NASA's prioritization of science was arbitrary, and others argued that the planned retirement of the shuttle was premature. One area on which they agreed was the potential of space exploration to ignite American students' interest in science.
Gordon highlighted some of the science programs that would be cut, delayed, or flat-funded in order to fund the new initiative, including the Sun-Earth Connections program and research into the structure and evolution of the universe. Lennard Fisk, Chairman of the National Academy of Sciences' Space Studies Board, said that the way NASA determined which programs were essential for the exploration initiative and which were not "does not make sense to me," and warned that NASA was setting "science against science."
Both Boehlert and Rep. Vern Ehlers (R-MI) expressed concerns about the fate of the Earth Science program, which Boehlert said was facing "a rather substantial cut," based on NASA's budget projections through FY 2009. Fisk agreed, saying NASA "should not falter" on its responsibility to provide data for policymakers and the public on "how to be good stewards" of the Earth.
Larry Young, MIT Professor and Founding Director of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, described the human physiology challenges that need to be overcome for long-duration spaceflight and the essential role of the space station in this research. But In-Q-Tel President Michael Griffin recommended reevaluating the station's usefulness if funding for the exploration initiative is deemed insufficient. Rep. Nick Lampson (D-TX) questioned planned cutbacks in other space station research and the effect on researchers; Young agreed that the station was needed to conduct fundamental microgravity research in many areas of science. Some of the witnesses challenged NASA's plans to retire the shuttle at the completion of space station assembly, wondering how America would fulfill its obligations to its international partners and continue to conduct research on the station until a Crew Exploration Vehicle was ready.
Several members of the panel also questioned the value of using the Moon as a stopping-point on the way to Mars. Science Fiction Museum Director Donna Shirley called it a "diversion" and said it did not have enough in common with Mars to justify the "vast expenditure." She and Young agreed with Boehlert's statement that once NASA reached the Moon, and "money gets tight, and it inevitably will," further progress might be curtailed. On the other hand, Fisk, Griffin and former Lockheed Martin Chief Executive Officer Norman Augustine advocated returning to the Moon; Griffin said it would be valuable for learning to live on another planet and testing technologies for Mars, and he also advocated extracting lunar oxygen as propellant for further space travel.
Rep. Nick Smith (R-MI) asked whether, if the initiative's overriding goal was exploration, the potential for new discoveries could be maximized by using robotic missions. The witnesses generally approved of NASA's intent to combine both human and robotic missions. Young said that "choosing missions that can be done robotically [was] like looking for your keys under a streetlight," and Griffin argued that one astronaut could accomplish the same amount in a single day as the Mars rovers could accomplish in 90 days. Ehlers commented, however, that the cost ratio was approximately 1,000 robotic missions to one manned mission. He urged using robots to gather as much information as possible so the use of humans could be optimized.
Questioned about the cost of the initiative, Griffin thought a human trip to Mars could be achieved for approximately the same cost in current dollars as the Apollo program; he estimated a cost of $130 billion to reach Mars and $30 billion to get to the Moon. Asked his opinion, Fisk answered, "I have not a clue; I don't think any of us should." The cost will depend, he said, on the incremental steps chosen along the way. "I'm convinced," Ehlers warned, that it will "cost significantly more" than $130 billion. All witnesses supported the incremental, "go-as-you-pay" approach, and said available funding will dictate how quickly progress is made. The only way to sustain such an initiative over the long term, Fisk said, is to have "in each congressional cycle some visible signs of progress." Ehlers thought that the development of a Crew Exploration Vehicle would be a key early test for congressional support; if NASA was successful within a reasonable cost and schedule, Congress would be more likely to maintain support for continuation of the program. | aerospace |

But the Air National Guard is facing a shortage of some 400 new pilot car parts, according to a study by the Center for Aviation Safety.
The Army and Marine Corps have also been struggling to find the right mix of new aircraft for the growing Air Force aviation force.
A report by the Pentagon’s Inspector General says that the Army’s fleet of B-2 bombers, the B-1B Lancer and the B1M Lancer are all on their way out.
The Air Force has been trying to fix the problem by building more planes.
That means more pilots, and more planes that are ready to fly.
Pilot jobs in the Army have been increasing in the past decade, while the Air Guard’s job growth has slowed.
But that could change as the Pentagon looks to expand the military’s fleet.
A report from the inspector general found that in 2015, the Air Army was able to meet the needs of more than 12,000 pilots.
That’s up from 6,000 in 2016.
The Air National Guardsmen will be required to work at least 50 percent of their rotations on the B52 Stratotanker.
The Pentagon’s decision to increase the number of B52s in the fleet means the Air force will be able to more quickly respond to any problems that may arise.
This is the first time the Air Forces has been required to build a new type of plane in 50 years.
The B-5 bomber, which the Airforce says can carry a payload of about 1,500 pounds, has been retired.
The B-51 Stratofail, a long-range bomber that flew in the 1980s, has a smaller payload, but has never been replaced.
That’s due in part to concerns about how well the aircraft will perform in the air, but it’s also because the military needs more bombers to replace aging bombers and the older planes that were originally built for the wars in the Middle East.
“I think the Air Air Command has to be mindful that this is a real threat to our national security,” Air Force Gen. Robert C. Martin, the top commander of Air Forces Europe, said in April.
If the Air and Marine forces can’t meet the requirements of the B51 fleet, they could be forced to start building their own planes.
The military has struggled to find pilots for some of its newer aircraft since the 1980’s.
The Navy has been struggling with the shortage of new pilots since it replaced its aging fleet of older planes with the USS Gerald R. Ford in 2013.
And the Air Mobility Command has struggled with a shortage for its aging B-25 Super Hornet aircraft.
The problem is that the Air’s current pilots are old.
The median age for active duty Air Force pilots was 68.3 years in 2015.
For the first four years of the AirForce’s service, the median age was 71.5.
That is now higher than the median for all service members.
But with the Air reaching the end of its career and a backlog of more 300,000 jobs, the Pentagon is trying to find a new pilot.
The report suggests the Air should consider the following changes to its aircraft design: 1.
Use of carbon fiber for wings and fuselage instead of aluminum, which would give the planes a more durable feel and allow them to take more weight.2.
Use composite for wing and fuselages instead of the more rigid plastic used on the F-22 Raptor.3.
Reduce the number and type of engines used on F-35s. | aerospace |

This lesson will give you a basic overview of the main types of modern Surface to Air anti-aircraft Systems in use today, how they are used and what are their working principals. (From smallest to largest)
How Air defense works
When you imagine an air defense system, let’s say the S-300 vs a F-16 most will imagine one system firing a single missile at the f-16 and the jet trying to shake it off etc., that’s not at all how this works, in a realistic sense modern air defense systems are typically combined with other various different types of missile sites , multiple radars ,command and control posts and nearby air bases creating a strong mix of defense layers. The combination of these elements is called IADS (integrated air defense system), this combination of systems makes an IADS very deadly. In normal circumstances numerous SAMs turn of their radars and stay hidden while other long range radars far away can detect air craft approaching and give the data to hidden SAMs which together with long range SAMs fire at the aircraft and downing it before the aircraft sees the SAM. This is why the best way to beat a SAM system is to avoid it all together, but unfortunately most important military and nonmilitary areas are under protection of SAMs.
(How do you tell the difference between friend or foe? By using [IFF identification system|https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identification_friend_or_foe] or similar systems depending on the country, There is also a secondary radar that “paints” the target aircraft with an interrogation code. If the aircraft is friendly, it will have a transponder on board which will reply with a “I am friendly” code. Point to note there have been instances where friendly aircraft were shot down)
How Surface to air guns work
Modern Surface to air guns/Cannons make use of laser sights, digital fire control and other high tech equipment to locate an air craft and fire large caliber projectiles towards a point where the air craft is calculated to reach keeping in mind the aircraft speed and the projectiles speed. These systems are very effective against low fling aircraft.
How Surface to air missiles work
Most people have the common miss conception that SAM missiles burn their engines all the way in flight before hitting its target and also if it misses a target it turns around and re-engages, but this is not the case. Surface to air missiles typically only have enough fuel to burn their engines only a few seconds, this burn is to get the missile up to speed. Once a missile runs out of fuel it glides towards it target while gradually slowing down due to the air friction of the atmosphere. So, to evade one an aircraft typically moves downward and changes course where the atmosphere is thicker which causes the missile to lose more kinetic energy hence slow down losing maneuverability becoming less accurate. Basically, further it travels less the chances of a hit regardless modern SAMs are very deadly especially at close range. When they get close enough depending on the missile type (A conventional explosive blast warhead, fragmentation warhead, or continuous rod warhead or a combination of any of those three warhead types) the missile disables or destroys the intended target.
Types of Surface to Air weapon systems
Towed and static anti-aircraft guns
Proper towed and static anti-aircraft guns are basically large caliber automatic cannons that are designed to be fired at low flying aircraft (Basically aircraft flying at low altitude) and shoot them down. Modern towed and static anti-aircraft guns are fully automated and come equipped with laser finders, digital fire control systems, radar guidance, integrated power supply’s, auto reloading etc. all things that help it become a serious threat to low flying aircraft especially slow speed jets or helicopters.
These same systems are also be used for defensive purposes for intercepting incoming missiles, artillery and even mortar shells with use of sensitive special detection equipment connected with the system. Incoming projectiles are intercepted with special ammo which explodes at a pre-calculated point in front of the target.
There are many different kinds and sizes of Towed and static anti-aircraft guns which use different number of barrels and caliber ammo like the Swiss GDF-005 has 2 35mm twin cannons, however it is important to note that the term (Towed and static anti-aircraft guns) can also include DshK or 50cal Browning machine guns often put on tanks as anti-aircraft machine guns but those are basically an extra addition to fire power because they are useless against aircraft of any type unless it’s very slow and close (They cannot be classified as AA)
Self-propelled anti-aircraft guns
A Self-propelled anti-aircraft gun is basically an anti-aircraft vehicle better known as (SPAAG) or self-propelled air defense system (SPAD). Such systems are a mobile vehicle with dedicated anti-aircraft capability (AA machine guns, auto cannons or missiles). They are meant to serve as a quick deployment secondary line of defense against enemy aircraft that get too close at lower altitudes.
Modern SPAAGs are armored vehicles which often come equipped a with a fast-rotating turret fitted with large caliber auto cannons and short-range anti-aircraft guided missiles on its sides. The auto cannons are typically guided by radar data, TV tracking cameras, infra-red tracking cameras, laser rangefinder etc. which make them especially deadly and effective against low flying aircraft. Aside from the guns, most modern SPAAGs also come equipped with short range surface to air guided missiles which as extremely deadly for aircraft at close range.
Popular examples of SPAAGs are the German Gepard, Russian Tunguska-M1, Chinese Type 95 and the British Marksman.
MANPADs are short for (Man portable air-defense systems) are shoulder launched short range surface to air guided missiles that are a big threat to low flying aircraft, especially helicopters. So basically, they SAMs that can be operated by one man and can shoot down military helicopters and aircraft with its range which is typically around 6-7 km.
Modern MANPADs feature missiles typically guided by infrared homing technology combined with multiple detectors that help them differ between flares and the aircraft making them extremely effective against helicopters. The reason of this effectiveness is the short range itself, since missiles still have high kinetic energy at after flying a little, they have good maneuverability increasing the chances of a kill.
What makes MANPADs interesting is that modern MANPADs can shoot down jet aircraft as well despite being only operated by one man. As seen many times in Syria manpads are also highly effective against low flying enemy jets, typically most aircraft in and under 4++ generation are vulnerable to MANPADs with in each range. This makes them a cheap but effective and highly mobile air defense tool for many militaries. (MANPADs are sometimes also mounted on vehicles typically armored vehicles but can also be mounted on civilian vehicles making them a weapon of choice for many small military organizations like Hezbollah.
Short range SAMs
Short range SAMs are specialized systems meant to be deployed at highly important military installations or highly strategic valued areas. Although their range is short, they are extremely effective with in their sphere of range that are typically designed to deal with medium to low altitude aircraft, incoming cruise missiles or even small rockets in some cases.
Short range SAMs are a specialized class of SAM systems whose range comes between medium to ground level air defense (Around 10-15 km). Their high effectiveness is due to small range, which means the missiles must travel less distance and lose less kinetic energy. This results in them heaving high maneuverability and increased kill probability. Another advantage of these systems is that they can typically be fitted on most big enough armored vehicles which have designated space for installation.
Medium range SAMs
Medium range SAMs are specialized surface to air missile defense systems whose main objective is eliminating most threats in the air by intercept incoming missiles and downing aircraft within its designated range by use of high-tech guided missiles. Medium range SAMs are a vague class of SAM systems whose range comes between long range air defense systems and MANPADs (Around 50km). However, these types of missile systems are more deadly, this is because they must travel less distance resulting in them losing less kinetic energy and more air maneuverability. This increases chances of a direct hit.
Medium range SAMs relate to many other external systems (Multiple radar systems, control centers etc.), that increases its effectiveness in an area. A few examples of Medium range SAMs are the Israeli Iron dome, US Rapier, Russian 2K12 Kub and the Italian Spada 2000. (Many of these Systems are not necessarily fixed at one point, most can be fitted on mobile plat forms). This means their chances of achieving a kill lowers the further they move.
Long range SAMs
Similar to Medium range SAMs, Long range air defense systems are specialized surface to air missile defense systems whose main objective is eliminating most threats in the air by intercept incoming missiles and downing aircraft at long ranges (Typically over 100 km)by use of high tech guided missiles . The tech used for guiding the missile varies system to system depending on how it is designed. The most Iconic air defense systems, the US Patriot or the Russian S-300 fall under this category as both have long operational ranges. However long range SAMs have a flaw, because the missiles must travel long ranges, they lose a lot of kinetic energy making it slower and harder to maneuver.
Just like Medium range SAMs, Long range SAMs are also connected with many other external systems (Multiple radar systems, control centers etc.), that increases its effectiveness in an area. Modern examples are
* US MIM-104F Patriot
* Russian S-400
* Chinese HQ-9
Some countries like the US are currently developing laser weapons designed to take down UAVs by use of infrared beam from a solid-state laser array which can be tuned to high output to destroy the target or low output to warn or cripple the sensors of a target. | aerospace |

Chris Hadfield is a household name in Sarnia, and for good reason.
As one of a select few Canadian astronauts, he has been a Canadian ambassador to the world when it comes to space exploration and surpassed the scope of most people's wildest dreams - a living Sarnia legend.
Hadfield was one of the first four selected to become astronauts by the Canadian Space Agency and was the first Canadian to walk in space.
The magnitude of his accomplishments make him not only the greatest Sarnian, but one of the greatest Canadians.
Born on Aug. 29, 1959 to Roger and Eleanor Hadfield in Sarnia, Hadfield grew up on Flamingo Drive near Canatara Park. He attended King George VI Public School and spent his summer days at the family cottage on Stag Island.
It was there Hadfield fell in love with the stars, on July 20, 1969, after watching the first moon landing on TV. He resolved that day to become an astronaut.
By 15, Hadfield had won a glider pilot scholarship with the Air Cadets and followed that up the next year with a powered pilot scholarship.
After graduating from Milton District High School in 1977, Hadfield joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1978 and attended military college in Victoria and Kingston.
He received a bachelor degree in mechanical engineering and was honoured as top graduate from basic jet training in 1983.
After training as a fighter pilot on CF-5s and CF-18s, he flew CF-18s for the North American Aerospace Defence Command for three years, and is credited with the first CF-18 intercept of a Soviet "Bear" aircraft.
His career took him to the U.S. where Hadfield conducted research for NASA and performed test flights on experimental aircraft and engines. In total, he has flown more than 70 different types of aircraft.
Hadfield truly began to shine when he was selected one of four Canadian astronauts from a field of 5,330 applicants in 1992.
Three years later, Hadfield was a mission specialist on Atlantis, NASA's second shuttle mission to rendezvous and dock with the Russian Space Station, Mir. He is the only Canadian to ever set foot inside it and was the first Canadian to operate the Canadian robotic Canadarm in orbit.
In 2001 while installing the Canadarm2 at the International Space Station, Hadfield became the first Canadian to leave a spacecraft and float freely in space. He performed two spacewalks totaling 14 hours, 54 minutes, while traveling 10 times around the world.
Back on Earth, Hadfield served as Director of Operations for NASA at Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, Russia for two years before retiring as a Colonel from in 2003.
Hadfield was also been the voice of mission control for 25 shuttle missions, and was Chief Astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency from 1996 to 2000.
He entered Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame in 2005 and had his image minted on a commemorative coin the following year.
These days he's NASA's Chief of International Space Station Operations.
Hadfield is married to Helene Hadfield (nee Walter) and has three children.
He still visits Stag Island each year, delivered the keynote speech to graduating Lambton College students in 2005, and has his name immortalized at the Sarnia Chris Hadfield Airport.
Photos he took from space have been on display at Gallery in the Grove and hang on the wall of Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley's city hall office.
Even on the ground, he's a star. Hadfield plays the guitar and has jammed with rock acts such as Aerosmith and The Guess Who.
Chris Hadfield is the greatest Sarnian. And some day, he has said, he would like to retire to this neck of the woods, the place that put him in touch with the stars. | aerospace |

The modified jumbo jet took off from Mojave Air and Area Port within the Mojave Desert and launched the rocket over the Pacific Ocean, northwest of Los Angeles.
The launch was procured by the U.S. Area Pressure for a Protection Division take a look at program. The seven payloads will conduct numerous experiments.
“And there we’ve got it, people!” the corporate tweeted shortly earlier than 1 a.m. native time, about an hour after the rocket separated from the 747. “NewtonFour efficiently reignited and deployed all buyer spacecraft into their goal orbit.”
It was Virgin Orbit’s fourth industrial launch and first night time launch. The launch was initially scheduled for Wednesday night time, however that try was scrubbed as a result of a propellant temperature difficulty.
Virgin Orbit named the mission “Straight Up” after the hit on Paula Abdul’s debut studio album “Endlessly Your Woman,” which was launched via Virgin Information in 1988.
Virgin Orbit was based in 2017 by British billionaire Richard Branson. It’s headquartered in Lengthy Seaside, California, and at the moment conducts launches from the Mojave airport however is planning worldwide missions.
Later this yr, the corporate will launch two satellites on a mission flying out of Newquay Airport in Cornwall, England. The satellites will conduct radio sign monitoring assessments in a joint challenge of the UK’s Ministry of Protection and the U.S. Nationwide Reconnaissance Workplace. | aerospace |

“Organising the event each year takes assiduous work, but we already are a united team, we work perfectly and this year we will put up 12 hours of non-stop flying because there will be very many performances. We have selected all that is the best and the schedule is quite tight. There are rehearsals today until 17:00hrs. We are closely following the weather developments and for the time being the weather looks nice. If special problems arise, we will postpone the air show until Sunday, but this is not the case for the time being,” General Manager of the Romanian Air Club George Rotaru told journalists on Friday at the BIAS opening news conference.
Manager of the Bucharest Airports Corporation, BIAS organiser, Valentin Iordache invited all the aviation buffs to come to BIAS. Public access will start on Saturday morning at 08:00hrs.
“Tomorrow, there will be many aircraft and airplanes in the Bucharest City’s skies. The official start is at 10:00hrs, while public access starts at 08:00hrs. There will be virtually no break until 22:00hrs, when a concert is scheduled. The most important shows will be performed by the pilots of Turkish Stars, Baltic Bees, US Air Force, Royal Air Force, Pakistan’s Air Force, which means guests from three continents complete with their equipment, the air units of Romania’s Interior Ministry and Intelligence Service and, at the end, the Romanian Air Club, which will display its best, along with Acrobatic Icarus,” said Iordache, according to Agerpres.
Among the guests of the air shows on Saturday are officers of the British Royal Air Force (RAF), who came to Bucharest aboard three Typhoons.
Wing Commander James Heald, Officer Commanding 29(R) Squadron, RAF Coningsby, said his team came the day before with three one-place Typhoon aircraft, one of which will be on static display at the weekend in the event. He added that he hoped they could take the first rehearsal on Friday at 15:00hrs and the next day they could put up two performances before returning home. There will be an eight-minute very loud demonstration for which nearly three tonnes of fuel will be used, flying at 110-600 knots,” said Heald.
Aircraft belonging to the Romanian, US and Portuguese Air Forces will participate on Saturday in the Bucharest International Airshow 2015 – BIAS 2015, on the Aurel Vlaicu International Airport.
MiG-21 LanceR, A-10 Thunderbolt, IAR-99 Hawk, IAR-330 Puma, C-27 J Spartan, the Vlaicu II plane’s replica, the HAWK ground-to-air missile system, the TPS-79R radar, a stand with the educational offer of the Air Force,s and the GEPARD defence systems and the KUB missiles – belonging to the Land Forces, can be viewed in static exhibition.
On Saturday, the military aviators will perform demonstrative flights, individually or in lineup, with MiG-21 LanceR, IAR-99 Hawk, IAR-99, IAK-52, IAR-316B, IAR-330 Puma, C-27 J Spartan, AN-30 and C-130 Hercules aircraft.
They will also participate in an air police tactical exercise, performed jointly with a detachment of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) and in a tactical exercise of airborne support, together with US A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft, Portuguese F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft, paratroopers and military equipment of the Romanian Land Forces. | aerospace |

First holder of a private pilot license in Bahrain,
Fifth Governor of the Arabian Section of the Ninety-Nines.
Yvonne who is still flying at the tender age of 79, joined the Ninety-Nines International Association in the early 1970's after being introduced by Sheila Scott, one of the first lady pilots to fly around the world.
The Arabian Section was formed in 1989. Yvonne became the 5th Governor of the Arabian Section and expanded for 15 years. She has been fortunate to fly to most Continents in the world to meet other fellow 99s to share in the bond of flying fellowship.
Yvonne who has British, New Zealand American and Seaplane licenses is proud to hold the first Bahrain private pilot licence.
Her late son Captain Julian Pooley - a helicopter pilot - was killed in 1984 and Yvonne wishes to start the donation of this Foundation with $10,000 in his memory.
That is how the Yvonne Trueman Scholarship was founded. It plans to promote opportunities to the flying members of the Section to expand their aviation knowledge. | aerospace |

But wait, you'd ask yourself, where did all the humans go?
The survival of our civilization and humanity depends on the possibility of accumulating enough knowledge, technical resources and the necessary motivation to pursue our further expansion outside the confines of Earth. Science technology and space exploration are convinced that the alternative to expansion would be facing extinction.
Space exploration would make it possible for significant numbers of people to live outside of Earth. The world has become overpopulated and nothing seems to indicate that this figure would decrease unless a severe war or global cataclysm occurs which would endanger the whole earth's biosphere. Not only would living outside of Earth bring an increase to our knowledge but it would also help us to avoid global crises threatening humanity.
We do not devote enough of our resources to science to further our knowledge about the universe. There is so much more to discover for an example we can't forget the possibility of contacting other intelligent extraterrestrial beings who's existence seem probable though not yet confirmed.
Quite few resources have mentioned that by neglecting science, space research and exploration in particular, would lead to putting a great risk to the future human race. We in fact are wasting time by not doing enough space exploration because in the future we are facing extinction. The most astounding of possibilities is the collision of Earth with a celestial body, a comet or asteroid. Depending on the size of such a body the consequences may be different. Astronomical observations and current space research have confirmed that such cosmic collisions are not rare exceptions within the geological time scale.
For example if you look through an ordinary pair of binoculars at the moon it is surfaced with thousands of impact craters. Many of the same collisions have also happened on Earth in the past. One of them causing the extinction of dinosaurs and many more species of plants and animals. It is also certain that similar collisions will happen in the future, it could be in a thousand years time of even next year. Therefore every year of delay may lead up to a critical one.
If humanity is going to survive and get a chance of further development, its expansion into space is inevitable. Over the next few centuries the human civilization must spread throughout the solar system. This being the result of Space exploration.
It has not been a waste of time or money because the world has had benefits in the few short decades. The microchips in our computers could never have been developed if the investigation of space never happened. Hundreds of instruments are created every year for medical research to better the people's health as well as drugs produced to combat the side effects of going into space. Some of these drugs could even help fight some of these virus's here on Earth.
The investigation of biological processes benefits us all. Long term explorers on mars or the moon will need to try to grow plants for food, recycling and also for replenishing the air. Future studies into the behavior of plants in space will help produce bigger, healthier, even more enriched plants containing essential vitamins and minerals that our body's need to live. You never know, one of these plants may be the next cure for cancer. There is no reason to limit our minds by not exploring space. The universe is there and waiting to be explored with more and more things to discover. | aerospace |

The achievement was confirmed on Wednesday (21) by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory NASA Responsible for the construction and movement of the vehicle, after conducting the test the previous day.
The person in charge of the action is one of the components in the upper right side of perseverance, and it is called MOXIE. The abbreviation, in Portuguese with free translation, means to experience the use of the site’s oxygen resources on Mars.
Generating oxygen from a material already on Mars is seen as a huge achievement by the space agency. This process is much safer, cheaper, and faster than transporting massive quantities of the component from, for example, missiles.
In total, in this first experiment, 5 grams of oxygen was produced – equivalent to an astronaut’s 10-minute breathing air reserve. The maximum capacity of the equipment to generate 10g / hr.
Diagram of rover oxygen production.Source: NASA
This procedure has two great possibilities of use. One of them is the most obvious: generating air reserves for astronauts (and potential future colonists) to breathe from a controlled environment or spacesuit.
The second is to have enough oxygen to allow the Mars missile to take off – something that requires burning large amounts of this element. At present, the equipment’s extraction capacity is not sufficient to guarantee any of these functions, but NASA itself recognizes that this is only the first step in a series of experiments.
Perseverance is not able to “create” oxygen. In fact, what it does is collect carbon dioxide (CO2) that is so abundant in the Martian atmosphere, separating the elements from chemical processes that use electricity.
As a result, the oxygen (O) is stored, while the remaining carbon monoxide (CO) is returned to Mars.
MOXIE is a box the size of a car battery that has a very special formula: it must be able to withstand the high temperature caused by the extraction process – 800 ° C. Therefore, it is made of 3D printed nickel alloy and the antenna prevents heat dissipation.
The light gold outer layer reflects the heat and allows the rest of the tenacity not to overheat and be damaged.

It can be seen as a part of the larger arms race, as developments in space research could easily be transferred to military research. Both countries started work on developing reconnaissance satellites well before the height of the Space Race. The Vostok spacecraft used by the USSR to put Yuri Gagarin into space, for example, was developed from the Zenit spy satellites used by the Soviet military.
However, the military benefits of the Space Race were not the only driving force behind the American and Soviet attempts to explore space. The populations of both countries took a great interest in their respective space programs and it was a useful way for both superpowers to demonstrate their superiority. Nikita Khruschev, the Premier of the Soviet Union, used the country's early success in the Space Race to claim that the "economy, science, culture and the creative genius of people in all areas of life develop better and faster under communism." The American President John F. Kennedy, on the other hand, is quoted as saying "Everything we do ought to... be tied in to getting on to the Moon ahead of the Russians... we hope to beat the USSR to demonstrate that instead of being behind by a couple of years, by God, we passed them. "
In America the space program was headed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, who were given control of all non military activity in Space. The team at NASA included Dr. Wernher von Braun, the German scientist responsible for the development of the V2 rocket during the Second World War. He was later moved to the United States by the U.S. Army to study the future potential of rockets and masterminded the development of the Saturn V Moon Rocket.
Early Russian research was also based upon the German's V2 rocket and involved members of Von Braun's production team under the supervision of Russia's Chief Designer, Sergey Korolyov. There was no equivalent of NASA in Russia, however, and this, along with the USSR's economic disadvantage, would prove detrimental to continued Soviet success in the race to the Moon. | aerospace |

Topics covered were diverse and ranged from: using drones for forensic purposes for traffic accidents; discussing why more women should be in the drone industry; applying drones to humanitarian and disaster management in Malawi; using drones for construction management in Ghana; alternative power supplies for drones; undertaking infrastructure inspections (pipelines, railroads and power lines); using drones in the film industry: insurance coverage for drone operations; and the systems and aircraft being developed by Airbus.
The presentation by Stan Bezuidenhout, on using drones for traffic accidents, was noteworthy on account of the topic covered. But it was also interesting because he made it clear he did not need the biggest, best or most sophisticated drone, as is common to other applications. A small drone with at least a 2 megapixel camera and 10 minutes flying time was enough for his work! It shows how easy it is to get carried away by all the exciting technology and new developments with drones!
Dr. Denise Bjorkman from The Drone Portal raised the issue of women in the drone industry and why there should be so few when women have the skills to be good pilots. It is the aim of The Drone Portal to facilitate a transformation in the industry and increase the number of women pilots.
Adam Rosman, Aerial Monitoring Solutions, a Wineberg based drone manufacturing company explained how their systems are used for monitoring rail roads, pipelines and power lines. He believes the future will see drones taking on more and more of the 3D jobs – i.e. Dull, Dirty and Dangerous – common to the maintenance of power lines, railroads and pipelines.
It was interesting to hear how drones are taking off (sorry!) in Ghana and Malawi. The latter has been in the news due to the proactive and forward-thinking approach adopted by the authorities to establishing a dedicated corridor for drone operators to test drones for humanitarian and disaster management uses. Matthias Boyen explained how UNICEF has worked with the Malawi government on this initiative and the progress being made. Kwamena Hazel of Autoshutter gave an inspiring presentation on how he got into flying probably the first drone in Ghana. He has since become a dominant operator in Ghana for using drones in construction and property development. He outlined a number of lessons learned thus far and that the market for drone use in Ghana is going to be huge.
Bryan Verpoort from iToo Special Risk insurance company set out the trends in drone uses and the coverage the provide licensed operators and pilots. He was sympathetic to the plight of the potential operators stuck in the length licensing process. He was especially concerned that would pilots and operators were giving up on the regulatory process in South Africa and operating elsewhere in Africa. He also suggested the establishment of a central registration database for all drones created along the lines of RICA process for cellphones. | aerospace |

It is a joint venture between NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) and is currently in its 22nd year of operation. SOHO is the longest-lived heliophysics mission still operating and has provided a near continuous record of solar and heliospheric phenomena over a full 22yr magnetic cycle (two 11yr sunspot cycles).
ESA in partnership with NASA and several research institutions, was interested in launching a spacecraft that could keep its eye on the Sun at all times. The goal was to better predict “space weather” and to understand more about how the Sun works. Scientists would place the $1.2 billion satellite in orbit around the Lagrange L1 point about 1.5million Kms from Earth–an area in space where the gravity of the Sun and the Earth cancel each other out.
The Sun is a yellow dwarf star at the heart of our solar system and it is the energy of the Sun that keeps us Earthlings alive, but that security comes with a price. The Sun, although a relatively stable star by celestial standards, is a highly active ball of gas. Eruptions from the Sun’s surface stream out in all directions and are frequently directed towards the Earth causing aurorae, and the more violent eruptions called CME’s (Coronal Mass Ejections) can be a danger to space farers, or knockout satellite communications and power grids. SOHO provided the first ever images of structures and flows below the Sun’s surface and of activity on the far side of the Sun. SOHO also discovered sunquakes and by using its ultraviolet imagers and spectrometers, it was able to reveal an extremely dynamic solar atmosphere and the source regions of the solar wind. The satellite has revolutionized our understanding of solar-terrestrial relations particularly the study of over 28,000 coronal mass ejections (CME’s).
For two solar cycles SOHO has measured the total solar irradiance (the ‘solar constant’) as well as variations in the extreme ultraviolet flux, both of which are important to understand the impact of solar variability on Earth’s climate. Quite unexpectedly SOHO has become the most prolific discoverer of comets in astronomical history: as of late 2017, more than 3400 comets have been found by SOHO most of them by amateur astronomers accessing SOHO real-time data via the internet. SOHO’s observations of recent dynamic activity in the Sun highlights the need to keep a watchful eye on our nearest star and its awesome power, bearing in mind that just one of these CME’s has more power than a billion H-Bombs! | aerospace |

May 16, 2012 - Aircraft owners, operators, and the public have until June 8, 2012, to comment on the FAA's revised rules for the Block Aircraft Registration Request program. The BARR program allows aircraft owners to prevent real-time public access to flight information, which includes departure and destination airports, plus actual altitude, speed, and location of the aircraft. Without BARR, anyone in the world with access to the Internet could get this information simply by typing in an aircraft N-number.
The public comment period for the revised rules (FAA-2011-0183) focuses on what aircraft owners should report to participate in the BARR program. Those items include:
- The name of the requestor;
- The registration number(s) of the aircraft to be blocked or unblocked;
- A certification that the requestor is the owner or operator of the specified aircraft;
- A telephone number and electronic mail address to which the FAA can direct questions about the request; and
- For a request to block one or more aircraft, a statement indicating whether the requestor desires ASDI blocking at the FAA source or at the industry level, which allows the owner secure access to information on his or her own airplane.
The FAA and Department of Transportation wanted to scrap the BARR program last summer, but faced unified opposition from the GA community. NBAA and AOPA filed suit to block the program's dismantling, and EAA filed a friend of the court brief in that action. Last August, Congress directed as part of an appropriations bill amendment that the program be continued.
The GA community contended the BARR program is essential as a safeguard for the privacy of those owning and operating aircraft, as well as the passengers on board those aircraft. Law enforcement and federal security agencies continue to have access to all tracking information for GA aircraft, even those involved in the BARR program, to preserve national security. | aerospace |

The plan is to use commercially built robotic ships to squeeze rocket fuel and valuable minerals like platinum and gold out of the lifeless rocks that routinely whiz by Earth. One of the company founders predicts they could have their version of a space-based gas station up and running by 2020.
The inaugural step, to be achieved in the next 18 to 24 months, would be launching the first in a series of telescopes to search for rich asteroid targets.
Several scientists not involved in the project said they were simultaneously thrilled and skeptical. They struggle to see how it could be cost-effective, even with platinum and gold worth nearly $1,600 an ounce. An upcoming NASA mission to return just 2 ounces of an asteroid to Earth will cost about $1 billion.
But the entrepreneurs announcing the project Tuesday in Seattle have a track record of making big money off ventures into space. Company founders Eric Anderson and Peter Diamandis pioneered the idea of selling rides into space to tourists.
Investors and advisers to the new company, Planetary Resources of Seattle, include Google CEO Larry Page and Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt and explorer and filmmaker James Cameron. | aerospace |

This milestone marks the last step before the integration of these four engines on the core stage of SLS for the "green run" testing.
In its announcement, NASA noted that: "The flight preparations for the four engines that will power NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) on its first integrated flight with Orion are complete and the engines are assembled and ready to be joined to the deep space rocket’s core stage. All five structures that form the massive core stage for the rocket have been built including the engine section where the RS-25 engines will be attached.
"The SLS has the largest core stage ever built and includes four RS-25 engines, which previously powered NASA’s space shuttle. The RS-25 engines that are being tested and prepared for SLS were proven during the years they were responsible for propelling 135 shuttle missions, and have been upgraded for the first SLS flight. The four that will fly on Exploration Mission-1 supported a total of 21 shuttle missions.
"In total, NASA has 16 flight-proven RS-25 engines and two development engines that are being used as “workhorse” engines for testing. These engines have been used to test new controllers – the brains of the engine – which have now been installed on the flight engines. The flight engines will be attached to the core stage to prepare for green run testing – the final test for the four flight engines and the core stage that will occur before the first mission." | aerospace |
