The continuation of the negotiations follows a US approval of the deal, according to a report in the Israeli Kan broadcast channel.
Last year Germany has requested the purchase of the Arrow-3 designed to intercept ballistic missiles. This was the first lesson from the Russian invasion to Ukraine. The deal has to be approved by Washington as the US participated in the funding of the development.
The planned sale of the Arrow-3 to Germany will be the first export of the Israeli defence system. The Arrow 3 is the most advanced operational version of this defence systems. Last year, Israel performed a test of an upgraded version of the Arrow 3. Two upgraded Arrow-3 interceptors were launched simultaneously against two targets that were destroyed by kinetic kill.
The tests were conducted jointly by the Israel Missile Defence Organization (IMDO), its US counterpart the Missile Defence Agency (MDA) and the Israeli armed forces. According to the official announcement, operational radars detected the target and transferred data to the battle management control, which analysed the data and established a defence plan. After the defence plan was established, two Arrow-3 interceptors were launched toward the target and completed the mission.
The targets depicting some of these emerging threats in the test were developed by Israeli-firm Rafael, and were launched by Israeli Air Force F-15 over the Mediterranean. | aerospace |

The SWIFT-KTX transmitter builds upon Tethers Unlimited’s software-defined radio platform to transmit information at charges exceeding 100 megabits per second, the corporate mentioned right now in a information launch. That price is roughly on par with typical cable connection speeds.
Tethers Unlimited developed the transmitter below a Small Business Innovation Research contract from the U.S. Army’s Area and Missile Protection Command. The corporate mentioned the primary flight unit was delivered to a confidential buyer.
Rob Hoyt, Tethers Unlimited’s CEO and chairman, mentioned Okay-band radio transmissions signify a brand new frontier for small-satellite communications.
“The capabilities of small satellites resembling CubeSats and nanosatellites to gather photographs, radar information and different giant information units is advancing quickly, but the UHF and S-band frequencies usually used for small satellite missions are too gradual and have develop into too congested to permit these information to be delivered to customers on the bottom in a well timed method,” Hoyt defined.
The SWIFT-KTX system can assist small satellites “break by means of these limitations and ship massive information to prospects quickly and effectively,” he mentioned.
Tethers Unlimited is working with Canada-based Orbital Analysis to develop a receiver that will complement the transmitter on small satellites. The receiver is because of develop into obtainable later this 12 months. | aerospace |

I almost attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) when I decided to be a professional pilot. It has an excellent reputation, and who could complain about the beautiful Florida weather? There was only one problem: a 2-year waiting period before I would ever see the inside of an airplane to begin my pilot training.
The waiting period wasn’t an intentional part of the flight program; they didn’t need us to mature or take all our English courses before we could start flying. It was simply a numbers game. The demand was just far greater than the supply. They only had so many airplanes and so many instructors to go around. I was too itchy to fly to wait that long, so I went elsewhere.
That was 40 years ago, and a lot has changed since then. Flight simulators have become common in flight school settings, but the new virtual reality (VR) training platform is even more exciting.
Embry Riddle is jumping onboard the platform, and it seems to be working so far. They’ve only had a formal curriculum for their virtual reality program for six months, but already they see impressive results. I think it’s brilliant and a fantastic way to save time and money on a career that is one of the most expensive for which to prepare.
Think of all the introductory skills that can be taught and practiced without the dreaded Hobbs meter running! What a relief to learn the radio without doing other tasks to keep the airplane flying. It does all have to come together eventually, but if the students learn how to do one thing at a time and then bring them all together when they are competent in each, confidence will soar, which is what ERAU is seeing. Results show a 28% decrease in the amount of flight time required to solo, flight cost is down 18% for initial training completions, student confidence is up, and anxiety is down. VR students are more prepared for flight training.
The goal with VR is to use advanced technology that provides students with a solid foundation in everything they need to know to be a private pilot BEFORE they set foot in an airplane. The University doesn’t want the students to learn new things when they pay $4 a minute, and I couldn’t agree more; use the time in the airplane to practice and perfect your skills!
It sounds like pilot training is keeping up with technology, and now is a good time. We need to be churning out new pilots in record numbers, and VR is a great way to unleash the flying bug to get these young people hooked without the high cost of initial training. It might not even be that bad to wait a year or two to start the airplane training segment if you are “flying virtually” while you wait. | aerospace |

This Program elaborates in detail the design and modelling of a configurable multi-rotor UAV. Rotor arms are arranged into the formation adaptable to both quad-copter and hexacopter flights. Connection mechanism enables easy detachment or installment of arms. Mathematical modelling proves the viability of modified configuration in flight kinematics and forces and moments generation. The configurable multirotor UAV performs well in actual flight tests with different payloads. In future, more configurations can be integrated into this UAV platform to further enhance its versatility. Autonomous control law can also be implemented such that the UAV would fly automatically with the assistant from GPS. With this UAV prototype as a foundation, future UAV platforms are able to operate with adjustable loading capacity, flying speed and flight duration over a wider range. When in service among large UAV fleets, each is more energy efficient and adaptable in catering to its specific task; when in private use, configurable UAV is flexible enough to handle personal requests of all sorts.
Efficiency in motor configuration and structure analysis
In this program, elaborates an energy efficiency study of Variable-Speed Drives for Single-Phase Induction Motors. The objective was to evaluate popular variable-speed drive schemes as they operate in their most efficient mode under different loading conditions. The considered schemes included phase control, variable-frequency drives and voltage control. This study focused on the development of experimental test methodologies to characterize motors and implement desired control schemes. Mathematical mod-eling and computer simulations were also utilized for engi-neering design and analysis. The fan load application was considered for further illustration of the developed method-ology. This study provides a general framework for the evaluation and selection of variable-speed drives.
Night vision and Infrared vision system
This program describes the various Night vision and Infrared vision techniques."Night Vision" is referenced as technology that provides us with the miracle of vision in total darkness and the improvement of vision in low light environments. This technology is an amalgam of several different methods each having its own advantages and disadvantages. The most common methods described here are Low-Light Imaging, Thermal Imaging and Illumination’s. This program also give brief idea about various night vision device (NVD) that allows images to be produced in levels of light approaching total darkness,it also explains various applications where night vision technology is used to solve various problems due to low light conditions .
Advance flight controllers
This chapter introduces automated flight control in the advanced avionics cockpit. You will learn to use an autopilotsystem that can significantly reduce workload during critical phases of flight. The two-axis autopilot system installed in most general aviation aircraft controls the pitch and roll of the aircraft. The autopilot can operate independently, controlling heading and altitude, or it can be coupled to a navigationsystem and fly a programmed course or an approach with glideslope. In addition to learning how to use the autopilot, you must also learn when to use it and when not to use it.
This program preaches the current state of the art in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, focusing on algorithms for quadrotors. Tremendous progress has been made across both industry and academia, and full vehicle autonomy is now well within reach. We begin by presenting recent successes in control, estimation, and trajectory planning that have enabled agile, high-speed flight using low-cost onboard sensors. We then examine new research trends in learning and multirobot systems and conclude with a discussion of open challenges and directions for future research.
Integration of raspberry pi with flight controllers
This program involves the design of a vision-based navigation and guidance system for a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), to enable the UAV to follow a planned route specified by navigational markers, such as brightly colored squares, on the ground. A commercially available UAV is modified by attaching a camera and an embedded computer called Raspberry Pi. An image processing algorithm is designed using the open-source software library OpenCV to capture streaming video data from the camera and recognize the navigational markers. A guidance algorithm, also executed by the Raspberry Pi,is designed to command with the UAV autopilot to move from the currently recognized marker to the next marker. Laboratory bench tests and flight tests are performed to validate the designs. | aerospace |

Scope and Relevance of Space Law
Space law is necessary to coordinate activities in activities in outer space and one earth as long as they affect or relate to space. It covers issues such as the militarization of space, liability for any damage of a space object, protection of the space environment, rescue of astronauts, registration of space objects, human use of space resources, the extent of exploitation e.t.c. Space law is relevant to ensure that the final frontier is chartered with regulation and order in order to avoid the chaos that will be detrimental to humankind.
Relevance of lawyers in space affairs
Is there any place for lawyers, civil or criminal, in space? What legal frameworks exist for a crime committed in space as well as other legal issues currently seen in the space law arena?
Space law admittedly is a developing area. Thus, lawyers are needed in the Space Industry to draft space laws, protocols and policies for their nations and the international community, in corporate international transactions. For example, as early as the 2000s, lawyers drafted the Space Assets Protocol and Cape Town Convention, which created an international regime for the secured finance of satellites, so you could use satellites as collateral.
There are going to be jobs for space lawyers out there as the industry grows, there will be jobs required by the space industry, and then by government agencies that are now short-staffed with space lawyers to draft space law and policies. They need more good lawyers.
In the academia, lawyers will also be needed to groom space lawyers.
Legal departments of airports, airlines, aerospace companies, civil aviation authorities need space lawyers.
Businessmen and capitalists are seeking experienced lawyers to draft multilateral space agreements and commercial agreements for space travels, exploration and mining as well as insurance and loan contracts between them as investors and space enthusiasts. Investors in the space industry need lawyers to advise them as they engage with aviation companies that build rockets and space infrastructure and equipment.
Making a career out of the final frontier: Space Law and Practise.
A space lawyer is simpliciter any lawyer who works in the space industry. Either in Academia, the private sector (Space-related companies and startups ) or with the government. Lawyers are engaged to draft legal agreements at both the international and local levels. They advise government agencies and space companies on how to explore space and use space technology in line with the existing rules and treaties governing space affairs.
Space law practice can be viewed as part international politics, part lobbying and part science. It is a great professional niche for lawyers who fancy politics, negotiation and international relations. To practice space law, one should have a good understanding of international law, domestic space regulations and commercial laws. Due to the global nature of space itself, space lawyers have a wide international network in the industry and can fit into other fields and industries related to the sector like aviation, telecommunication, aerospace, e.t.c. In a nutshell, it is an emerging and highly technical field of law but it is interrelated with other fields and that creates a lot of opportunities for interested professionals
Importantly, to make strides in the sector one has to be concerned about space technology and exploration especially policy-making, strategies and regulations. Practising space law will give one the chance to be a part of the future and is lucrative just as space is because as technologies and government priorities change, the laws and agreements that govern activity in space must also change. Space lawyers get to be a part of this evolution. They stand at the forefront to be leaders in making international agreements and policies in this emerging field.
Space law is a lot of contracts. When you think about what it takes to get a vessel into outer space, it involves a lot of the same negotiations and lawyering that it takes to get an aeroplane into the atmosphere. Who’s going to man the spaceship? Where are the parts going to come from? Also, a lot of space law is related to satellites, so it involves the communications industry and the body of laws governing it.
Furthermore, knowledge of international trade law, IPR, tort liability or general telecom and cyber law are becoming important for space activities, too.
To become a space lawyer, passion for the industry is essential and a very strong legal background. So you must be a professional who has a love for the law as well as for space.
In particular, and beyond a successful law degree, attorneys need to specialize in space law. While many practitioners have accidentally fallen into space law while practising in other areas of law, others specialize by attending a program at Universities like the McGill University, the University of Nebraska, the International Space University (ISU) the International Academy of Space Law, Russia (IASL), the African Regional Centre for Space Science and Technology in English (ARCSSTE-E), OAU, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria as well as other Colleges of repute where courses are taught on space law.
To venture into the space law field, I encourage colleagues to read everything they can about the subject, then try writing about it, whether on a blog, on Twitter or elsewhere. Engage your passion; in this way, you will find out whether or not you are passionate about it.
On the ‘Next Fest’ stage in Los Angeles, California, on September 13, 2007, Google announced the Lunar XPrize, a competition that encouraged private entities to land a rover on the moon. Across the country at NASA’s headquarters in Washington D.C., attorneys were suddenly faced with some of the biggest legal questions they could have ever imagined: What happens if a private company accidentally destroys the Apollo 11 landmarks on the moon?
What if it contaminates bodies in space destroying their scientific potential?
Can private entities own portions of space?
Thirteen years later, the answer remains unclear because of untested laws conceived half a century apart. Should these kinds of issues arise in Nigeria, do we have space law experts to deal with them? If we decide to revamp our national policies on space law, how many of the country’s lawyers are experts in this field to advise.
It is therefore imperative that our Universities begin to train our students on Space Law. Currently, there are only a few schools that give students these opportunities. This ought not to be so. There should be more Universities that have Space Law courses. This is so because as the space industry grows, there will be a need for space lawyers. | aerospace |

The NZ Airports Association (NZ Airports) has welcomed the government’s announcement that the Chatham Islands will receive NZ$40m in COVID-19 recovery funding, the great majority of which will go to upgrading the runway at Tuuta Airport, allowing larger aircraft to land.
The association’s chief executive, Kevin Ward, said the investment will be a real and permanent shot in the arm for the Chatham’s economy and will benefit all its residents.
“The Chathams produces fantastic seafood but the problem has always been getting it to customers. The runway upgrade will allow bigger and faster aircraft to be used,” he enthuses.
“Larger aircraft will also allow easier travel for tourists, so opening up growth in passenger numbers and supporting many other kinds of Chatham businesses. Securing reliable social connections for probably our most isolated population is hugely valuable.”
Ward believes that the Chatham Islands needs a bigger and more capable runway to cater for future aircraft providing the essential air link, and he was very glad to see Infrastructure Minister Shane Jones’s funding announcement.
The upgraded runway will be Boeing 737 capable – more than three times the weight of the current Convair aircraft – and will set the airport up for the next 50 years.
The project also includes safety and security enhancements and an extension to the passenger terminal.
NZ Airports has argued for some time that there is a group of small airports that provide essential air connections for their regions and communities, but which cannot fund major infrastructure and maintenance projects from the limited number of flights they serve.
“A permanent fund for this purpose is the long-term answer and common in other countries, but recent provincial growth fund grants and COVID-19 recovery funding are filling a critical gap in the meantime,” says Ward. | aerospace |

The Flight Number,
Tail Number, Or Gate number, etc. of
one of the Airliners Hijacked by Terrorists Tells a Story of Destruction
when Changed Into a Particular Microsoft Font-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor: An email says that the
flight number of one of the airliners hijacked by terrorists on
September 11 is "Q33NY." If you highlight that flight
number in Microsoft Word and change the font to one called
"Wingdings," you'll see a graphical representation of the
hijacking including an airliner, the twin towers, death, and the Star
The Truth: This is a hoax, but judging from the emails
we're getting, people want something about it to be true.
It is built upon the previously known fact that "NYC" has
corresponding symbols in Wingdings that seem to have destructive
"Q33NY" is not associated in any way with any of the
hijacked airliners. It is not one of the flight numbers.
It is not the tail (registration) number of any of the airplanes (we have
the actual tail numbers below), and
was not a designation on radar that day, and is not the identity of
the subway tunnel leading to the airport or the World Trade
Center. It's not one of the
gate numbers. With few exceptions,
all civilian aircraft in the U.S. have a tail number that begins with
"N." TruthOrFiction.com has searched the FAA database
that includes all airliners and found no airplane with Q33NY or any
that begin with "Q" at all.
There's been a bit of mischief with this eRumor along the way.
The original version is the one we have below. It clearly stated
it was referring to the "flight number." It was easily
demonstrated, however, that was not a flight number of any of the
hijacked jets. Other versions started circulating that said it
was the "tail number" or the "registration
number." More recently, some versions are making the rounds
that claim it was the gate number.
Here is the information about each flight:
...American Airlines flight #11.
Took off from Boston destined for Los
Struck the World Trade Center.
The tail # was N334AA.
...United Airlines flight #175.
Took off from Boston destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the World Trade Center.
The tail # was N612UA.
...American Airlines flight #77.
Took off from Dulles near Washington D.C.
destined for Los Angeles.
Struck the Pentagon.
The aircraft tail # was N644AA.
...United Airlines flight #93.
Took off from Newark destined for San Francisco.
in Pennsylvania was flight #93.
The tail # was N591UA.
The "Wingdings" font in Microsoft Word is one that is a
collection of symbols rather than letters. It is true that if
you use "Q33NY" in Windings, you'll get the sequence of
symbols suggested but it's irrelevant.
A real example of the story as it has
Here is something really strange:
Did you know that a flight number from one of the planes
that hit one of the
two towers was Q33NY
copy that flight number into MS Word
Enlarge the font size to 26
Change the font to Wingdings

John shares his knowledge and interest in all things aviation on his website Aviation-Tales and has a regular show on Coast Access Radio – Aviation Past and Present. See links below.
The story of the Pipistrel Taurus HY4 is from John’s latest newsletter.
The Pipistrel Taurus HY4 is the world’s first hydrogen fuel cell-powered four-seat passenger aircraft, developed in conjunction with the DLR Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics, an aeronautics and space research centre based in Germany.
The aircraft’s powertrain system comprises a hydrogen storage tank system, a low temperature hydrogen fuel cell, plus a battery. To save weight, the hydrogen fuel is stored at a pressure of up to 5,800 psi in two carbon-fibre tanks, one in each fuselage.
The fuel cell converts hydrogen directly into electrical energy, while lithium-ion batteries provide a power boost during moments of peak demand from the 80kW electric motor.
This pioneering aircraft can fly at a cruising speed of 145 km/h, a maximum speed of close to 200 km/h, and a range of up to 1,500 km. During testing over Southern Germany from Stuttgart airport, this aircraft flew up to a height of 2,500 meters during April.
If you are wondering about the aircraft registration (S5-MHY) the prefix (S5) is the country code for Slovenia where the airframe was constructed by ‘Pipistrel.’ | aerospace |

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's space startup SpaceX has completed its first regular cargo mission to the International Space Station, with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean Sunday and some unusual cargo that will help NASA monitor astronauts health.
The company's unmanned spacecraft Dragon parachuted into the water about 250 miles off the coast of southern California, completing the first of 12 cargo missions for which it has a $1.6 billion contract with NASA.
"This historic mission signifies the restoration of America's ability to deliver and return critical space-station cargo," Musk said in a statement after the company recovered the craft.
Among the nearly 2,000 pounds of science experiments and old station equipment returned to earth was nearly 500 frozen samples of blood and urine collected by station astronauts over the past year. Sounds like an odd delivery, but these have been eagerly awaited by scientists.
According to New Scientist, the frozen blood and urine help NASA examine astronauts' health because they contain biomarkers that can reveal changes in bone density and eye tissue and allow astronauts to be monitored remotely and continuously while in space.
And if it weren't for SpaceX, one of a number of startups looking to take the reigns from NASA in making trips to and from the ISS, the NASA scientists wouldn't be able to retrieve this cargo. While Russia, Japan, and Europe also travel to the ISS and run unmanned cargo missions, theirs are designed to remove rubbish and then burn it up in the atmosphere. So once NASA's last shuttle stopped operating in July 2011, there was no other craft that could safely bring research materials back to Earth.
Musk's space startup isn't the only one making news. Just last week, Blue Origin, the private space flight firm owned by Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos, quietly completed a successful test of its pusher escape system, marking another move in the private space race.
After getting an MA in journalism from Syracuse University, Teresa worked as a general assignment newspaper reporter—general on purpose because besides the usual city hall and police articles, there was the chance to fly an F-18 with the Blue Angels and tag along with bounty hunters on a stakeout—all good preparation for covering entrepreneurs.

"It is always a pleasure to meet young Australians who are excited about Air Force and aviation more generally, Senator Feeney said.
“Parades are a good opportunity for them to demonstrate what they have learned, as well a chance for me to hear about what they love doing when they come here.
“Although the Australian Air Force Cadets are sponsored by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), the reality is it’s a volunteer based organisation. Community involvement will always be essential for the program to succeed.
“Cadets and organisations like it provide a valuable service to the youth of Australia. That is why the Government wants these organisations to grow.
“It really is great to see the passion of the staff who volunteer their time and the fun and personal development the Cadets get out of it,” Senator Feeney said.
The AAFC is a community-based youth development organisation that seeks to stimulate young Australians’ interests in both the Air Force and aviation in general, whilst providing them with the opportunity to develop their personal and team qualities within an aviation environment. It is aimed at 13 to 20-year olds.
Cadets undertake weekly parade nights at their home unit, and also have the chance to undertake a range of weekend and school holiday activities, including flying powered aircraft and sailplanes, gliders, aero-modelling and leadership courses.

The story of how the British attacked German dams in WWII by using an ingenious technique to drop bombs where they would be most effective.
The Dam Busters chronicles the story of 617 Squadron, a group of very young airmen that were the best of the best…handpicked with the mission, to breach four of Germany’s dams on tributaries of the Ruhr River, thereby crippling industrial war output. Aircrews came from Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand.
The modified Lancaster bombers, had to fly below radar detection and drop a specially designed skip-bomb at 60 feet, flying at 240 miles an hour and at a designated distance from the target. All this without highly sophisticated present day navigational aids.
The movie looks at the development of the specialized skip-bomb by British inventor, scientist and engineer Barnes-Wallis, his efforts to convince a thick-headed air ministry his invention had merit. Along with that, the motion picture shows the formation and training of 617 Squadron under the leadership of Wing Commander Guy Gibson and ultimately the mission itself, flown on May 16/17 1943.
Of the 133 young men on that mission, 31 were Canadian. Of the 19 aircraft that took part, 8 were shot down, 53 men lost their lives, 14 of them were Canadian. | aerospace |

This allows you to use two remotes
to control the drone although the master controller has priority
and can override the secondary (also known as slave) controller inputs. This is ideal for training
scenarios where a new pilot can fly the Mavic while having a more experienced pilot on hand to quickly take over control. Alternatively, you can have one person piloting
the aircraft and another operating the camera and gimbal
. We took it for a test fly to see how well it works and what it's limitations are. https://youtu.be/_Whl-Tn9hgU
Who Is This Feature For?
The dual remote controller mode can be used for several reasons.
- Trainer and Trainee - teaching a new pilot to fly
- Pilot and Camera Operator - one person to fly the Mavic and another to operate the camera settings and tilt control.
Setting Up Dual Controller Mode
Assuming you already have your original controller bound with your Mavic, take the second controller and bind it to the Mavic as you would normally (with the difference being you must select 'Secondary Remote Controller' before the binding procedure
starts). If you don't know how to do this already, follow these instructions.
- Turn on the Mavic and the controller.
- In the DJI Go App, go into the Settings > Remote Controller Settings > Linking Remote Controller.
- Then tap 'Secondary Remote Controller'.
- This will then bring up a window giving you 60 seconds to press the bind button on the aircraft as seen below. Once it's bound, the countdown will close and the controller will be bound. You should now have a live feed and control as usual.
How It Works
The primary pilots stick inputs and gimbal movements will automatically override
any inputs made by the secondary controller. Once the primary pilot lets go of the sticks, there is a 1 second delay before the secondary controllers inputs are accepted again.
The secondary controller has full access
to all of the controls and features that the primary remote has access too (including flight modes, camera settings, aircraft settings, sense and avoid settings etc.). In the situation of using the dual remote mode for flight training purposes, this may actually be a slight cause for concern as the trainee can change any setting he likes without the primary controller having to grant permission. In the pilot and camera operator situation, the camera operator has full access to camera settings but due to the design of the gimbal, he/she will only have access to the tilt movement of the camera.
I like it. It's easy to setup and it works flawlessly. I can see this being a popular way for nervous new flyers to feel more comfortable on their first flights knowing that a more experienced pilot can take over at any point. As for using it to camera operate, it's ok. You'll undoubtedly get betters shots with a 2 person operation but it's a shame that its hardware limited to only have tilt control. Although its pan axis range is limited, it would be nice to have some control of the pan axis. If this is a feature you'd find useful, the secondary Mavic controller will be shortly available from our webstore. | aerospace |

The systems consists of 2 components that should be capable of being retrofitted to a significant portion of commercial drone systems and control units.
The collision detection and avoidance system (CDAS) consists of 2 primary components: the drone mounted detection system, and the operator console mounted alert add-on. The system consists of both components in a single sale unit. The installation, operation, and maintenance of the entire system shall be conducted by the purchasing user of the system.
The detection system shall be mounted to existing drone setups by a standard bracket and clamp system. No modifications to the drone (e.g. drilling, sawing, etc.) shall be made for installation purposes. The detection module shall interface with the drone through the exposed expansion ports of the onboard microcomputer. The expansion ports consist of the general purpose input/output (GPIO), the inter-integrated circuit (I2C), and the universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART). Any or all of the expansion ports may be used by the the detection system. Power for the detection system shall be obtained via the GPIO port, which can typically supply 5V power. The detection system may use either the drone’s or its own onboard transmitter to send alerts to the operator.
The detection system shall be capable of detecting a collision situation and notify the operator of the situation. The minimum amount of time between detection and collision shall be 6 second. The system shall be capable of detecting collision situations with static, non moving objects in the forward flight path of the drone. Additionally, the system shall be capable of detecting collision scenarios with other dynamic (e.g. moving) objects in the vicinity of the drone. The system shall be capable of tracking at minimum 5 potential collision objects at a time. The detection system may operate in either a directional or omnidirectional mode. The omnidirectional mode may decrease the the detection time by 50%. The system shall be capable of detecting objects from on-plane (0 degree) to 45 degree beneath plane of the drone. The detection system shall be a maximum of 1 kg in total weight including the mounting kit.
The detection system shall transmitter potential collision detections to the operator via the console add-on panel. The panel shall notify the operator via visual and audible alerts of the potential collision and the relative direction of the collision in relation to the current flight path. The alert and collision direction indicator shall provide the operator with sufficient information to affect a course correction to avoid collision.
The system shall adhere to all applicable FAA and FCC regulations. | aerospace |

A third production representative aircraft is still under consideration for future procurement.
The request acts upon the authorization received from Frank Kendall, the under secretary of defense for acquisition, technology and logistics, continuing a deliberate step-by-step approach to reduce program and cost risk. By releasing the RFP now, Boeing will be able to apply the results of the ongoing risk reduction activities to the proposal for the contract modification, which will be the preponderance of the acquisition program.
“This is a significant step forward for this program, which emphasizes cost control and risk reduction, in balance with system performance, to meet the requirements of the presidential mission,” said Col. Amy McCain, the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization program manager.
“We are committed to providing the (Executive) Office of the President of the United States with safe, reliable air transportation that provides high levels of security and communication capability.”
To help ensure an affordable program, Boeing will modify the Federal Aviation Administration-certified commercial Boeing 747-8 aircraft to meet presidential operational requirements. The modifications to the 747-8 will include electrical power upgrades, a mission communication system, a medical facility, executive interior, a self-defense system, and autonomous ground operations capabilities.
“The results of our ongoing risk reduction efforts are providing data that we can use to make sound decisions regarding the requirements and design trade-offs. These requirements decisions will then be applied to Boeing’s EMD proposal,” McCain said. “We are focused on driving out costs where we can, to ensure this program is affordable.”
The PAR program will replace the VC-25A in the 2024 timeframe through a highly tailored acquisition program. Parts obsolescence and diminishing sources for VC-25A replacement parts are driving increased costs and increasing out of service times for heavy maintenance to maintain FAA airworthiness standards. That time has already grown to well over a year per heavy maintenance cycle, significantly limiting availability for presidential support.
History of the Air Force One
From Presidents Roosevelt to Obama, Boeing airplanes have transported U.S. presidents around the world. On 28 January 2015, the U.S. Air Force announced that it will continue the Boeing tradition with the 747-8, which will replace the two 747-200s that currently serve as the presidential Air Force One fleet.
Air Force One is the official air traffic control call sign for a United States Air Force aircraft carrying the President of the United States.
The idea of designating specific military aircraft to transport the President arose in 1943, when officials of the United States Army Air Forces, the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force, became concerned with relying on commercial airlines to transport the President.
A C-87 Liberator Express was reconfigured for use as a presidential transport; however, it was rejected by the Secret Service amid concerns over the aircraft’s safety record. A C-54 Skymaster was then converted for presidential use; this aircraft, dubbed the Sacred Cow, transported President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Yalta Conference in February 1945, and was subsequently used for another two years by President Harry S. Truman.
The “Air Force One” call sign was created after a 1953 incident during which a Lockheed Constellation named Columbine II carrying President Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the same airspace as a commercial airline flight using the same call sign.
A number of aircraft types have been used as Air Force One since the creation of the presidential fleet, starting with two Lockheed Constellations in the late 1950s: Columbine II and Columbine III. It also has included two Boeing 707s introduced in the 1960s and 1970s, respectively; since 1990, the presidential fleet has consisted of two Boeing VC-25As, which are specifically configured, highly customized Boeing 747-200B series aircraft.
Boeing 747-200 / 747-8 Comparison
The Boeing 747s era
Though Ronald Reagan’s two terms as president saw no major changes to Air Force One, the manufacture of the presidential aircraft version of the 747 began during his presidency. The USAF issued a Request For Proposal in 1985 for two wide-body aircraft with a minimum of three engines and an unrefueled range of 6,000 miles.
Boeing with the 747 and McDonnell Douglas with the DC-10 submitted proposals, and the Reagan Administration ordered two identical 747s to replace the aging 707s he used.
The first of two aircraft, designated VC-25A, was delivered in 1990, during the administration of George H. W. Bush. Delays were experienced to allow for additional work to protect the aircraft from electromagnetic pulse (EMP) effects.
The presidential air fleet is operated by the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Field, Maryland.
Air Force One usually does not have fighter aircraft escort the presidential aircraft over the United States, but this has occurred. In June 1974, while President Nixon was on his way to a scheduled stop in Syria, Syrian fighter jets intercepted Air Force One to act as escorts. However, the Air Force One crew was not informed in advance and, as a result, took evasive action including a dive. | aerospace |

One of the biggest hazards of winter flying is the risk of icing on the aircraft. Ice can accumulate on the wings, tail, and other critical surfaces of the aircraft, affecting its performance and stability. Ice can also block or restrict the movement of control surfaces, making it difficult or impossible for the pilot to control the aircraft. In extreme cases, ice accumulation can lead to a loss of lift, resulting in a crash.
Another hazard of winter flying is the potential for turbulence and wind shear. Cold air is denser than warm air, which can cause turbulence as the aircraft passes through different temperature layers. Wind shear, which is a sudden change in wind speed or direction, can also be more common during the winter months, particularly when flying in or near thunderstorms. Turbulence and wind shear can be particularly dangerous for light aircraft, which are more vulnerable to instability due to their smaller size and weight.
Visibility can also be a challenge during winter flying, particularly when flying in fog, snow, or ice crystals. These weather conditions can reduce visibility, making it difficult for the pilot to see other aircraft or obstacles. Pilots must be especially vigilant during winter flying to ensure that they maintain a safe distance from other aircraft and objects.
In addition to the challenges and hazards of winter flying, light aircraft pilots must also be prepared for the possibility of engine failure. Cold temperatures can cause engine problems, such as carburetor icing or fuel system issues. Pilots must carefully monitor the performance of their engines and take steps to prevent or mitigate potential problems.
There are several types of icing that can affect light aircraft in winter:
Clear ice forms when water droplets in larger clouds such as cumulonimbus freeze onto the aircraft's surface. It is often clear or transparent and can be difficult to detect. Clear ice is often the most dangerous type of icing, as it can build up quickly and disrupt the airflow over the wings and other critical surfaces, leading to a loss of lift.
Rime ice forms when small, supercooled water droplets freeze onto the aircraft's surface. It is typically rough and opaque, and is easier to detect than clear ice. Rime ice can also disrupt the airflow over the aircraft's surfaces, but is generally less dangerous than clear ice.
Frost: This type of icing forms when the temperature of the aircraft's surface is below
freezing and the air is humid. Frost can accumulate on the wings, tail, and other exposed surfaces of the aircraft, and can affect the aircraft's performance and stability.
Snow: Snow can accumulate on the aircraft's surfaces, particularly in the wingtips and tail, and can affect the aircraft's performance and stability. Snow can also cause problems with the movement of control surfaces, making it difficult for the pilot to control the aircraft.
It is important for pilots to be aware of these types of icing and take steps to prevent or mitigate them, such as using anti-icing and de-icing systems or avoiding known icing conditions. Pilots should also be prepared to deal with any icing that does occur, such as by diverting to an alternate destination or seeking assistance from ground personnel.
Tips for winter flying:
Obtain a thorough weather briefing before your flight to be aware of any potential hazards or adverse conditions.
1. Make sure that your aircraft is properly equipped and maintained for winter flying, including anti-icing and de-icing systems.
2. Check the fuel system and ensure that it is free of ice or water.
3. Carry extra warm clothing and blankets in case of an unexpected delay or emergency.
4. Plan your flight carefully, considering factors such as fuel requirements, potential diversions, and available landing sites.
5. Monitor your aircraft's performance closely and be prepared to take action if you encounter any problems.
6. Use a reliable navigation system - map reading is especially difficult in snowy conditions because distinct shapes are obscured.
7. Follow all applicable regulations and procedures, including those related to weather minimums and aircraft performance.
8. Be prepared for the possibility of an emergency situation and have a plan in place to handle it. This may include carrying survival gear and knowing how to use it.
9. Keep an eye on the temperature of your engine and other critical systems, and take steps to prevent them from freezing or overheating.
10. Check the condition of the runway and taxiways before take-off and landing, as these may be slippery or icy in winter conditions.
11. Use caution when flying in or near clouds, as these can contain ice crystals or other
hazards. Know the freezing level and the expected cloud base. This information can be obtained by the Met Office F215 low level weather forecast. If you or your aircraft is not certified to fly in cloud, stay out!
12. Consider carrying additional fuel in case of unexpected delays or diversions.
13. Be prepared for the possibility of encountering icing conditions during your flight, and know how to use your aircraft's anti-icing and de-icing systems.
14. Stay alert and be prepared to take evasive action if you encounter any unexpected hazards or emergencies.
15. Consider taking a winter flying course or receiving additional training to help you better understand the challenges and hazards of flying in winter conditions.
16 .Keep your aircraft in a hangar or other protected location when it is not in use to help prevent damage from the cold and snow.
17. Stay up to date with the latest aviation forecasts, advisories, and alerts to help you make informed decisions about your flights.
18. Don't be too ambitious about long trips. Remember that daylight hours are much shorter in the winter.
19. Brush up on your METAR and TAF reading skills. There are plenty of codes that are rarely seen at other times of the year. Here are a few:
SN = Snow
GR = Hail
GS = Snow pellets
BR = mist
FG = Fog
FZ = Freezing (eg FZFG = Freezing Fog)
Winter flying requires a high level of skill and knowledge, as well as careful planning and preparation. Pilots must be aware of the potential hazards and take steps to minimise the risks. This may include ensuring that their aircraft are properly equipped and maintained, obtaining weather briefings before flights, and being prepared to divert to an alternate destination if necessary.

Shares of Virgin Galactic shot up 16% in early trading Monday after Saturday’s flight. The stock is up more than 60% from where it bottomed out earlier this month.
The flight carried two pilots to an altitude of 55.45 miles, according to the company, positioning Virgin Galactic to begin launching paying customers within the next year. The 50-mile mark is considered to be where the earth’s atmosphere ends and space begins.
News that it planned the flight had already started to lift Virgin Galactic’s recently battered shares. After reaching a record price of $62.80 on February 4, the share price slid steadily, hitting a low of $15.05 on May 13. Even with the 60% rebound off that low, shares are still firmly in bear market territory.
Still, one analyst, Pete Skibitski of Alembic Global Advisors, raised his estimate on the stock to an “overweight” or buy recommendation Monday from his previous neutral rating.
“We believe the flight is likely to keep the test schedule on track, providing catalyst for the shares, to include the remaining three test flights before the first regular consumer revenue-generating flight in early 2022,” he wrote in a note to clients.
Shares had struggled partly because of delays in performing test flights. But they also took a large hit in March after Chamath Palihapitiya, the company’s chairman, disclosed he had dumped his personal $200 million stake in the company.
British billionaire Richard Branson, who founded Virgin Galactic as well as Virgin Atlantic and other Virgin-branded companies, still owns 62.4 million shares of Virgin Galactic, or a 26% stake in the company, through an investment company he controls. | aerospace |

Shahzad Paracha, country manager of PIA Oman, said that they are planning to to connect Salalah with Islamabad, Lahore and Sialkot.
“We are hopeful that we will be able to fly to Salalah once new aircraft joins our fleet this summer,” he told Times of Oman on Tuesday. He also said this will benefit some 40,000 to 50,000 Pakistani nationals who reside in Dhofar governorate of Oman.
“Now, they have to change flights either in Muscat, Doha, Dubai or Sharjah,” he noted.
PIA operates as many as 16 weekly flights from Muscat to Pakistan, covering major destinations such as Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Sialkot, Peshawar, Gwadar and Turbat with direct service.
“We are also planning to increase our Muscat service, but it depends on the number of new aircraft that we get this summer,” he said.
The airline has nearly doubled its Oman operations in recent years, increasing its weekly flights from eight in 2014 to the current 16.
Also, the airline has recently added state-of-the-art Boeing 777 airplane to its flight operations in Oman.
Direct flights from Salalah will also benefit Bangladeshis and Indian expatriates, who can reach connecting flights from Pakistan.
“Our connecting flights are quite convenient with competitive fares that attract international passengers from these communities,” he added. | aerospace |

In particular, we are talking about the engine control system and the e-4ORCE all-wheel drive, which ensures a predictable balance of traction regardless of road conditions. How all this will work on the rover, the manufacturer showed in a short video.
The e-4ORCE system debuted on a prototype all-wheel drive Nissan Leaf in the fall of 2019, and the Ariya electric crossover was the first production vehicle to feature this technology. The essence of the e-4ORCE is precise control of torque and braking force at each wheel, which in general should provide the necessary balance of traction in difficult driving conditions: on snow, ice or rain.
Nissan has now adapted this technology to a lunar rover prototype built in conjunction with JAXA. Thanks to the precise dosage of torque, when the e-4ORCE system is active, the rover wheels do not bury on loose surfaces, and it can continue to move, while using less energy. JAXA intends to use the results of this research in future space missions, and Nissan hopes to contribute in this way to the evolution of automotive technology.
In addition to Nissan, Toyota and Honda are involved in JAXA projects. The first one is also involved in the construction of a lunar rover, which is going to be sent to the Earth’s satellite in 2030.
But Honda has more ambitious plans: the company is developing robotic avatars and hydrogen production plants for lunar bases. | aerospace |

It was sent there on a two-year mission to collect information about the climate and geology, and to see if the environment could sustain life.
Curiosity did so well that the mission was extended indefinitely. And now fans of the red planet can play with a virtual rover.
NASA just developed a new app that is simply called Mars Rover. It's a game where players try not to crash as they drive through Mars' craters and search for water. Players can share that they are playing the game on social media sites and challenge their friends to join them.
NASA hopes the app will get the public more interested in Mars and space exploration. They also want it to help people develop an interest in all of the STEM subjects - science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Mars Rover is available now for Apple and Android devices. People can play on phones and tablets and there's even a version for desktop gamers. Click here to download it from NASA's Mars website.
P.S. Before the game was released, NASA created interactive visual programs to show us everything that the rover can do. To spark your 'curiosity' about what Mars is really like, check out the 360-degree video so you can see what the rover sees and Experience Curiosity as a 3D simulator that allows you to virtually pilot the rover. | aerospace |

The United States said it had signed a $29.4bn deal to provide F-15 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia in a move likely to be seen as part of efforts to counter Iran. The deal will supply 84 new Boeing F-15SA aircraft and modernise 70 existing planes and include munitions, spare parts, training and maintenance contracts, Josh Earnest, White House deputy spokesman, said.
"This agreement reinforces the strong and enduring relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia, and demonstrates the US commitment to a strong Saudi defense capability as a key component to regional security," Earnest said.

The Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion manoeuvre marks the start of the spacecraft’s about 110-day trajectory to the vacation spot across the L1 Lagrange level, a balanced gravitational location between the Earth and the Sun.
“Off to Sun-Earth L1 point! The Trans-Lagrangian Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) manoeuvre is performed successfully. The spacecraft is now on a trajectory that will take it to the Sun-Earth L1 point. It will be injected into an orbit around L1 through a maneuver after about 110 days,” ISRO mentioned in a publish on X (previously Twitter).

This is the fifth consecutive time the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has efficiently transferred an object on a trajectory towards one other celestial physique or location in house, the nation’s house company mentioned.
Aditya-L1 is the primary Indian space-based observatory to review the Sun from a halo orbit round first Sun-Earth Lagrangian level (L1), positioned roughly 1.5 million km from earth, which is about one per cent of the Earth-Sun distance.
The Sun is a huge sphere of gasoline, and Aditya-L1 would examine the outer ambiance of the Sun. It will neither land on the Sun nor strategy the Sun any nearer.
Since its launch, Aditya-L1, throughout its journey across the Earth, underwent 4 Earth-bound manoeuvres on September 3, 5 ,10 and 15 respectively, throughout which it gained the mandatory velocity for its additional journey to L1.

Upon arrival on the L1 level, one other manoeuvre binds Aditya-L1 to an orbit round L1.
The satellite tv for pc spends its complete mission life orbiting round L1 in an irregularly formed orbit in a aircraft roughly perpendicular to the road becoming a member of the Earth and the Sun.
Aditya-L1 is anticipated to reach on the meant orbit on the L1 level after about 127 days, ISRO had mentioned quickly after the launch.
ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C57) on September 2 efficiently launched the Aditya-L1 spacecraft, from the Second Launch Pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota.
After a flight period of 63 minutes and 20 seconds that day, Aditya-L1 spacecraft was efficiently injected into an elliptical orbit of 235×19500 km across the earth.
READ | Will ISRO’s Aditya L1 contact the Sun? No. Which photo voltaic probe has come closest
According to ISRO, a spacecraft positioned within the halo orbit across the L1 level has the foremost benefit of constantly viewing the Sun with none occultation /eclipses. This will present a larger benefit of observing the photo voltaic actions and its impact on house climate in actual time.
Aditya-L1 carries seven scientific payloads indigenously developed by ISRO and nationwide analysis laboratories together with Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), Bengaluru, and Inter University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA), Pune.
The payloads are to watch the photosphere, chromosphere and the outermost layers of the Sun (the corona) utilizing electromagnetic and particle and magnetic subject detectors.
Using the particular vantage level L1, 4 payloads instantly view the Sun and the remaining three payloads perform in-situ research of particles and fields on the Lagrange level L1, thus offering vital scientific research of the propagatory impact of photo voltaic dynamics within the interplanetary medium.
The fits of Aditya L1 payloads are anticipated to offer probably the most essential info to know the issue of coronal heating, coronal mass ejection, pre-flare and flare actions and their traits, dynamics of house climate, propagation of particles and fields.
According to scientists, there are 5 Lagrangian factors (or parking areas) between the Earth and the Sun the place a small object tends to remain if put there. The Lagrange Points are named after Italian-French mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange for his prize-winning paper — “Essai sur le Problème des Trois Corps, 1772.”
These factors in house can be utilized by spacecraft to stay there with diminished gasoline consumption.
At a Lagrange level, the gravitational pull of the 2 giant our bodies (the solar and the earth) equals the mandatory centripetal drive required for a small object to maneuver with them.

China’s Chang’e-5 probe successfully touched down on Earth in the early hours of Thursday, bringing home the first samples of the moon in over 40 years.
The spacecraft landed in Siziwang Banner in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, at 1:59 AM (local time), according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
It marks a successful conclusion of China’s current three-step lunar exploration programme of orbiting and landing, and bringing back samples which began in 2004, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The Chang’e-5 lunar probe was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on November 24
In the Soviet Union’s unmanned lunar sampling missions, the spacecraft took off from the moon and returned to Earth directly.
The 8-tonne Chang’e-5 spacecraft has four independent but interactive components.
This includes one to stay in lunar orbit as a docking station, one to go down to the moon’s surface and drill for samples, one to take the material back to the dock station and another to bring the samples back to Earth.
The return capsule of Chang’e-5 separated from the orbiter about 5,000 km above the Atlantic.
The capsule entered the Earth’s atmosphere at an altitude of about 120 km. At about 10 km above ground, a parachute opened.
The capsule landed smoothly in the predetermined area and the search team recovered it, the report said.
The capsule is set to be airlifted to Beijing for opening, and the moon samples will be delivered to the research team for analysis and study, said the CNSA.
Pei Zhaoyu, deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of CNSA, said China Soon will make some of the samples available to scientists in other countries
Chang’e-5 is one of the most complicated and challenging missions in China’s aerospace history as it touched down on the north of the Mons Rumker in Oceanus Procellarum, also known as the Ocean of Storms, on the near side of the moon on December 1, the report said.
This site was chosen because it had a younger geological age than the sampling areas of the US and the Soviet Union more than 40 years ago, and had never been sampled.
The new samples reportedly weighing about two kg will be of great scientific value, according to Chinese space scientists.
Though lunar samples were brought back in the US and Soviet missions, scientists need more samples of different ages to piece together a complete history of the moon.
Chang’e-5 drilled into the lunar surface for samples that record evolutionary events, and grabbed material on the surface.
Using modern analytical technologies, scientists will be able to unravel the mysteries of volcanic activities and meteorite impacts over the past billion years, the report said.
The probe has collected material at different sites to ensure the diversity of the samples.
After the samples were sealed, the probe’s ascender successfully took off from the moon and docked with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit.
The samples were transferred to the returner, before the ascender separated from the orbiter-returner. To avoid becoming space junk, the ascender made a controlled descent back to the moon, the CNSA said.
Then the orbiter-returner carried the precious samples home. Pei said the Chang’e-5 mission not only represented an end to China’s current lunar exploration programme, but also laid a foundation for future manned lunar and deep space exploration.
The milestone mission has accomplished several firsts for China, including the first moon sampling, the first liftoff from an extraterrestrial body, the first rendezvous and docking in lunar orbit, and the first spacecraft carrying samples to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere at high speed, Pei said.
China is drawing up plans for future lunar exploration, including constructing a basic version of a scientific research station, he said.
“We hope to cooperate with other countries to build the international lunar scientific research station, which could provide a shared platform for lunar scientific exploration and technological experiments,” Pei said.
Meanwhile China’s Mars probe Tianwen-1 is currently more than 100 million kms away from Earth and is functioning normally, the CNSA said on Tuesday.
It will conduct several orbital corrections and will likely decelerate to enter the Mars orbit in mid-February next year, CNSA said.
The US, Russia, the European Union besides India have so far succeeded in sending missions to Mars which is regarded as the most complex space mission.
India became the first Asian country to have successfully launched its Mars orbiter mission, Mangalyaan, which entered the orbit of the red planet in 2014.
India also became the first country to have entered the Martian orbit in its first attempt in 2014 itself and this Project been initiated by UPA led Indian PM Dr. ManmohanSingh Government

These structures are long‐lasting and can corotate (i.e., a corotating interaction region) with the Sun, allowing for these structures to be observed by a warning buoy prior to encountering the Earth. When SIRs hit the magnetic field surrounding the Earth, they can trigger geomagnetic storms, which can negatively affect spacecraft and astronaut health, communications, and the electric grid. For this reason, predicting when an SIR may hit the Earth is an important problem in space weather. In our paper, we investigate the utility of deploying spacecraft to different locations around the Sun to act as a warning buoy system for these solar wind structures. For example, we find a 74.6% (46.1%) chance of predicting the arrival of an SIR at Earth within ±3 (±1) days after being observed at the Earth‐trailing Sun‐Earth Lagrange point, L5.

The Yale Undergraduate Aerospace Association (YUAA), which is currently led by Keshav Raghavan, is currently working at the Wright Lab to build a CubeSat research satellite to detect cosmic rays. It is among 16 teams undergraduate teams across the country whose CubeSats will be flown into space as auxiliary payloads on space missions planned to launch in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
“It will be the first ever Yale undergraduate endeavor to launch a spacecraft, forging the path for even more ambitious space-based projects by Yale undergraduates in the future,” the University announced in a March 22, press release.
According to a March 14 announcement from NASA, the YUAA project, called Bouchet Low-Earth Alpha/Beta Space Telescope (BLAST), “is a scientific investigation mission to map the distribution of galactic cosmic radiation across the night sky. The satellite will identify and count alpha particles and beta particles in the rays, and measure the radiation energy around Earth. BLAST will contribute to the ongoing search for the origins and nature of these rays, which will provide insight into the origins of the universe.”
To date, the CubeSat Launch Initiative has selected 176 CubeSat missions from 39 states and launched 85 CubeSat missions as part of the Educational Launch of Nanosatellites (ELaNa) through NASA’s Launch Services Program, NASA said in its press release.
Raghavan and his team mates have already done the research and development work on the miniature satellite, and this summer, they begin on prototyping and final construction work on the satellite. In January 2019, the team began using one of Wright Lab’s clean rooms to conduct tests on launch-ready components, such as the altitude control systems, Yale said in its press release. Wright Lab will be the team’s site for final assembly of the satellite.
According to the YUAA website, these miniature satellites were first developed by the California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University in 1999.
“Intended as a standard, inexpensive design that can easily fit alongside larger satellites aboard launch vehicles, the CubeSat model has given student groups, hobbyist organizations, and research teams operating with limited funding or experience unprecedented access to space,” the YUAA site says.
These miniature satellites are built from commercially available materials and have a modular structure of 10x10x10cm cubes (hence the name). Hundreds of universities, companies and research teams have designed and launched their own CubeSats over the years.
The Yale CubeSat project is an undergraduate-run project, currently in its 4th year. | aerospace |

Scientists with NOAA's Global Monitoring Laboratory will be installing air sampling instruments in three different locations and configurations on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-9 as part of Boeing’s 2021 ecoDemonstrator flying test bed program.
The goal is to use in-service commercial aircraft as an additional tool to measure greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, while keeping the data free from any emissions from the plane itself that could skew the results.
Air will be collected from a duct that feeds outside air into the airplane’s interior, and from two inlets mounted in a window plug for comparison, according to NOAA.
"Standardizing the location and installation of greenhouse gas monitoring instruments on commercial aircraft will be an important first step in expanding our sampling network to provide data for scientists and policymakers interested in understanding greenhouse gas emissions that are driving climate change," Colm Sweeney, lead scientist for the NOAA Global Monitoring Laboratory’s aircraft measurements program, said in a news release announcing the partnership.
NOAA keeps tabs on three critical drivers of climate change: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, as well as carbon monoxide, which is an indicator of air pollution, NOAA says. The agency has four permanent observatories plus gathers measurements from 50 partner institutions and trained observers around the globe. In addition, NOAA has contracted with some private pilots to take air measurements.
But this new project hopes to inject a new treasure trove of greenhouse gas data via commercial flights that would provide additional information to improve our long-range climate forecast models.
"Greenhouse gas measurements made from U.S. commercial airliners would help scientists verify the effectiveness of mitigation efforts in urban areas near major metropolitan airports, and changes in natural emissions coming from melting permafrost near remote airports in the high Arctic," said Kathryn McKain, the lead scientist for NOAA’s Commercial Aircraft Sampling Network. | aerospace |

This is a milestone for the long-delayed project, which is meant to be operational by 2014.
A German company, OHB System, has won a contract to deliver 14 satellites worth €566 million. Arianespace, a French company, should deliver five Soyuz launchers at a cost of €397m, while Italy’s ThalesAleniaSpace will provide support services worth €85m.
Antonio Tajani, the European commission for transport, said that the award of contracts was “concluding a critical phase” of Galileo.

“We can now focus on the actual roll-out and demonstrate to European citizens that Europe’s own satellite navigation system is under way,” he said.
Galileo is intended to be Europe’s alternative to the US’s Global Positioning System (GPS), envisioned as a complementary rather than rival system. Conceived at the end of the 1990s as a grand strategic project, Galileo almost collapsed amid rows over its escalating budget and problems agreeing the management structure.
European ministers finally gave the project the go-ahead in 2007, setting a €5bn budget.
Costs are likely to rise again, however. Tajani said that the Commission was still in the process of calculating the final bill. He said that this could not be finalised because some costs, especially for the launchers, are still rising. “For now we are in line with the budget as it has been approved to date,” adding “we may in the future be facing problems”.
The European Space Agency will sign contracts with the three chosen companies in the coming weeks. Three further contracts are to be awarded by the middle of the year.
This will be followed by a test phase, with two satellites to be put into orbit by the end of this year and two in 2011. From 2012, one satellite will be launched every six weeks, until a total of 30 satellites are in space.
Galileo is intended to bring much more precise satellite navigation, especially in big cities where tall buildings can obstruct signals, as well as in northern Europe, where the Commission says that GPS coverage is patchier.
Advocates say that Galileo’s improved services will offer many benefits, from helping fight forest fires to reducing traffic congestion. | aerospace |

The event was broadcast live by Space X.
By this means of communication and thanks to the constant contact with INVAP’s professionals staying at Vandenberg and at Córdoba Ground Station (ETC, in Spanish) in Argentina —which belongs to CONAE—, the successful launching of the SAOCOM 1A was confirmed. The Argentine Microwave Observation Satellite (SAOCOM in Spanish), on board the Falcon 9 rocket, passed successfully through each of the following stages:
– 13 minutes after the launch, the final separation of the Falcon 9 rocket took place.
– 1 minute later, the telemetry transmitters were switched on.
– 2 minutes later, the deployment of the solar panels started.
– Finally, 17 minutes after the launch, contact was established for the first time with a ground station located in Tahiti, where the first official telemetric measurements were received. Meanwhile, the solar panels were completely deployed and oriented to the sun.
– 12 hours after the launch, the corresponding maneuvers to deploy the SAR antenna began.
During the day, there were moments of intense emotion each time the mission successfully passed through the stages to put the satellite into orbit, with each step being confirmed by the telemetric data received from the SAOCOM 1A. Now, the only thing left is to wait the final tests and precise settings to be carried out in order to reach the exact position in orbit about 30 days after the launch. | aerospace |

It does, however, give case-by-case approvals or waivers for certain commercial applications.
That permissiveness may be about to come to an end, much to business's chagrin, as the FAA plans to propose strict rules for commercial use of drones in the coming weeks. This is not an issue that consumers are likely to rally behind once the FAA does release its proposal -- a recent survey shows that most Americans are against allowing businesses to fly drones anywhere they please.
Closing the Window on Commercial Drone Opportunities
Earlier this year the FAA's rule-making ability over the issue was called into question when an administrative judge ruled that FAA lacked clear-cut authority to ban their commercial use. Companies promptly began taking advantage of the gray area with small but eye-catching drone-based campaigns and applications.
The National Transportation Safety Board made clear last week, though, that the FAA does have the authority to make these rules and now a new report in the Wall Street Journal suggests that the window of opportunity companies had been using over the last several months to try out commercial drone-based applications may be closing.
According to the Journal article, the Federal Aviation Administration will issue rules by year end for use of small drones in commercial applications.
After the rules are issued, a public comment period will follow. It could take up to two years for the final rules to be issued.
In the meantime, though, it is anticipated that many of the pilot (no pun intended) projects launched by companies could fall under the FAA's disapproval.
The Journal reports the rules the FAA is considering are much stricter than the industry would have liked.
They will require operators to have a license and limit flights to daylight hours and below 400 feet. Perhaps most onerous, the drones will have to remain within sight of the person at the controls. The agency also plans to group all drones weighing less than 55 pounds under one set of rules, dashing hopes for less restrictive rules for the smallest drones that weigh only a few pounds.
Deliveries, Videos, Ad Banners
Amazon and Google are perhaps the best-known companies experimenting with drones as an alternative to same day delivery, but a sizable number of companies are interested in the technology for similar reasons.
FlowerDeliveryExpress.com tested a flower delivery by drone just before Valentine's Day this year in Detroit, but the company was forced to stop testing after the FAA warned it off.
Other industries have been using drones in various ways. For instance real estate brokers have been using them to differentiate themselves in the market via aerial videos of their properties.
"With aerial videos a potential buyer can get a greater feel for the details of the property inside and out; including a sprawling comprehensive view, depth of the home, size of the lot, and how the neighborhood looks and what else surrounds the house," says Patrick Parker, owner of Patrick Parker Realty.
Another example is provided by DroneCast, which uses drones for banner advertising, much like the way small aircraft fly banners for local businesses around town. "Our aerial advertising platform acts almost like a flying billboard, using a small drone to capture attention while displaying your advertisement to viewers," its website says.
Americans appear to be of two minds about drones: they want one as a toy but many are fearful about their use on a widespread basis for safety reasons, according to a study conducted for the Chubb Group of Insurance Companies.
Close to three quarters (73 percent) of survey respondents are concerned that drones could damage property by crashing into a house. Fifty-five percent said drones could injure people by poking out an eye or cutting a finger.
Despite the risks, 21 percent of survey respondents indicated that they would be interested in purchasing a drone. Sixty-seven percent do not think that private citizens should be allowed to operate a drone even if they hold a permit and 64 percent do not want businesses to use drones.
If the FAA's final rules follow what the Journal is describing, these people may well get their wish. | aerospace |

The contract from SSC will see the 5000E variant of the Seaspray radar family installed and integrated with SSC’s maritime surveillance system on the Dornier 228s. The contract award followed a competition where SSC selected the Seaspray 5000E radar for its reliability and availability, and its ability to precisely detect small targets due to its AESA beam steering capability. The lightweight nature of the radar also made it ideally suited to the twin turboprop Dornier 228 aircraft. The contract follows previous work with the Finnish Border Guard who already fly the Seaspray 2000, a maritime surveillance radar optimised for civil/paramilitary applications such as border protection. The new Seaspray 5000E radars will be used by the Border Guard for duties including sea rescues and anti drug-smuggling operations. At less than 45kg, the Seaspray 5000E is the smallest of the Seaspray radar systems. It is a multi-mode surveillance radar appropriate for light naval helicopters and twin turbo-prop surveillance aircraft such as the Dornier 228. The Seaspray 5000E is in full production, with SELEX Galileo having previously been awarded a contract to upgrade a fleet of naval Sea King helicopters. | aerospace |

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun will step down at the end of 2024 as part of a broad management shakeup at the embattled aerospace giant.
Larry Kellner, Chairman of the Board of Directors, will not seek reelection at Boeing’s annual meeting in May, Boeing announced Monday. He will be replaced as president by Steve Mollenkopf, director of Boeing since 2020 and former CEO of Qualcomm. Mollenkopf will lead the board in choosing a new CEO, Boeing said.
And Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing’s commercial aircraft division, is leaving the company effective immediately. Stephanie Pope, who recently became Boeing’s chief operating officer after leading Boeing Global Services, now takes up the role.
The departures come as airlines and regulators have increased calls for major changes at the company after a slew of quality and manufacturing defects on Boeing planes. Checks intensified after an accident on January 5, when a door plug exploded from a nearly new Boeing 737 Max 9 minutes later. Alaska Airlines flight.
“As you all know, the accident of Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 was a watershed moment for Boeing,” Calhoun wrote to employees Monday. “We must continue to respond to this accident with humility and complete transparency. We must also instill a total commitment to safety and quality at every level of our company.
“The eyes of the world are on us and I know we will emerge from this moment a better company, building on all the lessons we have accumulated working together to rebuild Boeing over the past several years,” he said. -he writes.
Calhoun told CNBC in an interview Monday that the decision to resign was “100 percent” his.
“We have another mountain to climb,” Calhoun said. “Let’s not avoid the call to action. Let’s not avoid the changes we need to make in our factory. Let’s not avoid the need to slow down a little and let the supply chain catch up.”
Calhoun, a Boeing board member for more than a decade, took over as CEO of Boeing in January 2020 after the company ousted its former chief executive, Dennis Muilenburg, over his handling of the aftermath of two fatal Boeing crashes. 737 Max.
For months, Calhoun has been promising investors, airline customers and the general public that Boeing will get its myriad quality problems under control. The Federal Aviation Administration has increased oversight of Boeing, and agency administrator Mike Whitaker after the Alaska Airlines crash said Boeing would not be allowed to increase production of the 737 as long as that the FAA was dissatisfied with the company’s quality control.
Boeing stock price compared to S&P 500
Boeing’s production problems have delayed deliveries of new planes to customers and hampered growth plans. CEO of some of the company’s largest clients, including United Airlines, Southwest Airlines And American airlines publicly complained about the delays.
Ryanair, Boeing’s largest airline customer in Europe, said in a statement Monday that it welcomed the management changes.
“Stan Deal has done excellent business work for Boeing for many years, but he is not the person to turn around the operations in Seattle, and that is where most of the problems have been in recent years,” said Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair. a video posted on the social media platform
United CEO Scott Kirby said earlier this month that he had urged Boeing to stop making not-yet-certified Max 10 planes for the company because it was unclear when the FAA would authorize the planes. to fly.
Last week, airline CEOs began planning meetings with Boeing executives to express their displeasure over the lack of manufacturing quality controls and lower-than-expected production of the 737 Max planes. The meetings were to include Kellner and one or more other board members.
Also last week, Boeing Chief Financial Officer Brian West told an industry conference that Boeing would burn through more cash than expected due to limited production of the 737 Max.

When I reply “Senior Purser, I usually get a blank stare, followed by another question: “What does a Senior Purser do?” It’s time for an explanation.
Purser and Senior Purser
On every flight, KLM has one or two managers on board who make sure everything runs smoothly and who supervise the cabin crew to give our passengers a pleasant flight. On European flights, there is one manager on board, the Purser. You can identify them by the four silver stripes on their sleeves. The Purser is responsible for the product on board. On intercontinental flights, the Purser is in charge of the team in Economy Class, while the Senior Purser is responsible for the crew in World Business Cass and the overall supervision of all cabin crew. They work closely with the Purser. The Senior Purser also displays four stripes on the uniform with an additional orange stripe. There is also a team of Assistant Pursers, who only operate on intercontinental flights and display three silver stripes on their sleeves.
Before the rest of the crew arrives, the Purser and Senior Purser report to Schiphol to prepare their flight. They review all relevant flight information, check which passengers may require assistance and see if there are any other special circumstances to consider on board. They also assign the cabin crew to their duties. For intercontinental flights, the Senior Purser and Purser allocate the team and plan their operations on board.
Prior to departure
The (Senior) Purser contacts the gate agent to coordinate the boarding procedure. They also obtain important information about the flight from the captain, such as flying time, any specific flight conditions or technical specifications of the aircraft. Vice versa, the (Senior) Purser shares any important passenger information with the captain. The (Senior) Purser also ensures that there are enough meals onboard for all passengers. When all the preparations are complete, the crew is ready to welcome the passengers on board, which is an important interaction with the public.
During the flight, the (Senior) Purser is the host of our passengers. They will introduce themselves to the passengers over the PA system and will conduct all announcements throughout the flight. Both the Purser and Senior Purser will do everything they can to make the flight as pleasant as possible. Should there by any unexpected situations, they will try to resolve these immediately. Throughout the flight they keep in contact with the pilots to inform them of the situation in the cabin, and they will be notified of any turbulence or a shorter flying time that may require a change in the service schedule.
“The (Senior) Purser is also called on to mediate in various situations. Some examples include: A medical incident that requires their leadership;
a. A passenger with aggressive behaviour or who doesn’t follow the rules;
b. The (Senior) Purser ensures the pilots are always informed;
c. There may be a technical problem or a catering error;
d. There could be a passenger who is afraid of flying and requires some extra assistance;
e. A passenger may have a complaint about the flight, the process at the airport or something else. The (Senior) Purser will do their best to assist the passenger and resolve the problem;
f. After almost every flight, the (Senior) Purser will write an evaluation about the flight attendants not only to provide feedback to the crew member, but also to keep KLM abreast of staff operations;
g. Towards the end of the flight, the (Senior) Purser is responsible for distributing landing forms and preparing the cabin for landing. Every airport has its own regulations for incoming aircraft, and the (Senior) Purser is responsible for complying with these; On some destinations all alcoholic beverages must be counted and recorded on a form
h. The (Senior) Purser is also responsible for the administrative duties of the flight, for example recording all duty-free products, reporting any variations to KLM or sharing information with the (Senior) Purser of the crew that is flying back to Amsterdam or continuing the flight to the next destination.”
As you can see, this is a job with a wide range of tasks and responsibilities. What makes this job unique is that every flight consists of a new team and no two flights are the same. For every flight, the (Senior) Purser forms a team with their flight attendants to provide our passengers with the best possible service. | aerospace |

The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) was formed in 1969 as a non-profit, educational organization in the District of Columbia.
Its purpose is to support amateur radio in space research and communications. AMSAT continued the efforts of the "Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio" (OSCAR) group which started out on the west coast. They built and launched the first Amateur Radio satellites, beginning with OSCAR 1 which was launched Dec. 12, 1961.
AMSAT groups are located throughout the world and are involved in the design, construction, launch, and operation of many amateur radio satellites.
Most of these group names use the word AMSAT along with a suffix (pertaining to callsign prefix or country abbreviation) indicating their country or geographic location.
For example, AMSAT-NA is for North America; AMSAT-UK is for Great Britain; AMSAT-DL is for Germany; and JAMSAT is for Japan.
A typical satellite may be easily accessed for ham radio QSO's or for just monitoring purposes using amateur radio equipment designed for the High Frequency bands.
For example, some satellites have an uplink on 15 meters and a downlink on 10 meters with an additional 2 meter downlink. Other satellites may be accessed using
2-meter Single Side Band/Continuous Wave (SSB/CW) uplinks and 10-meter downlinks.
Plans include many more amateur radio satellites with a choice of operating modes. Phase 3D is the fourth in a series of high elliptical-orbit satellites that will
provide a whole new era of amateur radio satellite communications. Known as "the satellite for all amateurs", its combination of higher powered transmitters and high
gain antennas will always be directed towards the Earth, allowing for better coverage and more reliable communications.
Additional information is available through the AMSAT-NA web site at www.amsat.org. Weekly AMSAT e-mail news bulletins are available by sending a "SUBSCRIBE ANS" message to firstname.lastname@example.org.
Regular updates of orbital elements for use in satellite tracking programs are available by sending a "SUBSCRIBE KEPS" message to email@example.com. The AMSAT Bulletin Board provides the
opportunity to join in on amateur radio satellite discussion groups. Send a message saying "SUBSCRIBE BB" to firstname.lastname@example.org.
Owen K. Garriott, W5LFL, was the first astronaut to take a ham radio
into space. This historical mission took place on Space Shuttle Columbia STS-9, in November 1983. Garriott said "In my
spare time only, I managed to hold up an antenna to the window and to talk
to amateurs on Earth." A Motorola hand-held portable radio was used for 2-Meter ham band operations. This was the first radio communications contact
between an astronaut in space and civilians on earth using radio channels that were not reserved for government officials.
Astronaut Tony England, W0ORE, was the second ham to operate the Space Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment. This mission provided amateur radio voice and video modes. It took place on Space Shuttle Challenger STS-51F, which launched on July 29, 1985.
NASA has continued to realize the usefulness of ham radios in space. Since its first flight in 1983, ham radio has flown on dozens of space shuttle missions.
Astronauts used the "Space Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment" (SAREX), to talk to thousands of school kids as well as to their own families on Earth.
This enabled them to pioneer space radio experimentation, including television, packet text messaging, and voice communication. The Russians had a similar program
for the cosmonauts aboard the Russian Space Station MIR. When U.S. astronauts were aboard MIR in preparation for the long duration missions of the International Space Station,
they used amateur radio for communication, including emergency messaging while MIR was in distress. Now ham radio is aboard the International Space Station (ISS) with
the "Amateur Radio on the International Space Station" (ARISS) Program. When astronauts, cosmonauts and mission specialists from many nations fly on the International Space Station,
they will have ham radio as a nice diversion from the scheduled work load.
The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), and NASA, worked together in creating The Space Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX). This has been a long-running program
utilizing amateur radio equipment on board NASA's Space Shuttle, the Russian MIR Space Station, and the International Space Station (ISS) for communications with students and amateur radio operators worldwide.
Students in hundreds of different classrooms across the country are able to ask the astronauts questions about space flight and their mission experiments. The modes of operation used were voice, packet radio, and television (TV), depending on the equipment taken into space for the particular communications application.
SAREX has permitted ham astronauts on shuttle missions to communicate directly with amateurs on the ground and to conduct communications experiments. This was all done via amateur radio without the use of NASA communications facilities.
Radio amateurs throughout the world set up equipment at schools and other facilities in preparation for these activities.
The SAREX program continued amateur radio's role in space that orginally began with OSCAR (Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio). The OSCAR 1 satellite was homebrewed by a group of hams (Project Oscar Association). It was launched into orbit by the Discoverer 36 satellite and a Thor-Agena Rocket (December 12,1961) from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
Oscar transmitted a CW signal that could be received worldwide. The Morse code message was Hi (dot-dot-dot-dot dot-dot).
In 1996, AMSAT and delegates from major national radio organizations in eight nations involved with the International Space Station signed a Memorandum of Understanding to form an organization called
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS). ARISS was formed to design, build and operate amateur radio equipment for ISS missions. It provides an extension of the SAREX program and ham radio in space from the space shuttle to the International Space Station.
In 1997, NASA approved plans to include amateur radio equipment as part of the payload for the International Space Station. NASA and the Russian space organization, Energia, agreed on the role of ham radio for the Space Station.
A technical team, called "ISS Ham", was officially established to serve as the interface for hardware development support, crew training and on-orbit operations.
Leadership and consultation in the United States is provided by the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and AMSAT. In addition, they also provide the hardware and coordinate the safety and flight qualification tests with NASA as needed for the equipment to fly.
Initially, the antennas were mounted on the space station's Russian Zvezda Service Module, while it provided living quarters for the astronauts and cosmonauts. The Italian team designed and built the antennas and the German team built the radio repeater stations.
The initial space station operations were designed for voice and packet modes. The first amateur radio station for the space station was flown onboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis on STS-106 (September 8, 2000). The crew transferred the ham radio gear into the space station for future use by the Expedition One Crew.

https://www.greenprophet.com/2011/11/gulf-orders-piling-up-for-fuel-efficient-787-dreamliners/ | 2022-12-05T18:32:39 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446711042.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20221205164659-20221205194659-00596.warc.gz | 0.930394 | 641 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__227855433 | en | From January next year, all airlines wishing to land and take off in Europe will have to buy permits under the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to help cover the carbon cost of all flights into or out of the EU. EU figures show airline carbon emissions have doubled since 1990, and would triple by 2020, unlike most other sectors, which have gone down. Initially, airlines will pay for 15% of the carbon they emit.
The ETS ruling has created an uproar among global carriers with China and the US threatening lawsuits. That’s one way to deal with new climate regulations.
Another response is ordering more fuel-efficient planes. Like the new Dreamliner. Boeing is the maker of the most energy-efficient airplane on the market, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It uses 20% less fuel, through the use of advanced lightweight composite materials, systems, aerodynamics and more efficient engines.
Seattle-based Boeing expects the Gulf region will need 2,500 new aircraft in the next 20 years, a $450 billion market for the company. The increased demand for fuel-efficient airplanes is driven not just by the tough new ETS climate rules about landing in Europe, but also rising fuel costs.
As airplanes age out, they are expected to be replaced by more fuel-efficient models. Fuel cost is the second greatest cost associated with airplanes, after the initial cost of the airplane.
While the Boeing Dreamliner will be the most efficient airline in the world, it has barely begun making its first deliveries, having shipped only two, globally.
At the Dubai Air Show last week, Oman placed an order for six of them. This brings to 70 the number of 787 Dreamliners on order for the Middle East, per Boeing’s list. Kuwait has placed the oldest order in the region, still waiting for an order from 2006 for fourteen. Qatar is still waiting for its 2007 order of thirty, as is Royal Air Maroc for its order of five, and Royal Jordanian, for its order of seven. And last year, Saudi Arabia ordered eight.
But Gulf carriers are sanguine about the delays.
“Our decision to order the 787-8s is part of our long-term growth strategy to expand and modernise our fleet with newer, more fuel-efficient airplanes,” Oman Air chief executive Peter Hill told Aero News Network.
“We see direct benefits because of the Dreamliner’s fuel efficiency and operating economics as well as the enhanced travel experience that Oman Air will be able to offer its customers aboard this airplane,” he added.
Europe’s Airbus, the energy-efficiency runner-up to Boeing, expects a somewhat smaller Gulf region market, $347 billion, to supply 1,900 planes.
Emirates is the largest single customer of the Airbus A380 with 90. It also placed orders for 70 Airbus medium-size, long-range Airbus A350s, the most competitive model with Boeing’s energy-efficient Dreamliner – and like the Dreamliner, also facing long delays.

Lufthansa is the first customer for the passenger version of the 747-8 — the latest model of the iconic Boeing 747 jumbo jet.
Considered the world's longest aircraft, the 747-8 is 15 percent more fuel efficient than comparable long-range... | aerospace |

One such potential hazard is cables that are barely visible from the air until you’re on top of them.
Another unforeseen hazard is birds. Some birds see the drones as a threat or prey and try to drive it off or attack it. There isn’t much you can do but try and bring the drone down safely. In Georgia there are numerous birds like this to avoid.
Trained Visual observers are a vital role in the safe flight of drones and are essential to safety. Visual Observers do not need to be a licensed pilot but when acting in this role, must always keep a line of unaided sight (no binoculars) to ensure such hazards are seen before an accident occurs.
There is a great deal that can go wrong when operating a drone, and hiring an experienced operator that understands the potential hazards, how to operate a drone safely, and how to get great photographs and videos should be your goal in any project of this nature.

The first Mk6s were delivered to the RAF at the end of 2013 and in 2014 we were lucky enough to film the inaugural UK test flight on UK soil.
The mark 6 features new Digital Automatic Flight Control System (DAFCS) and an updated cockpit.
Boeing required a film that would tell the story of the unique working partnership between themselves, the MOD and the RAF that has enabled the launch of this new variant.
With an experience of film production in the defence sector, we are used to operating in a hosted capacity on a military base.
Capturing stunning visual results must also be balanced with working extremely fast, as the schedule on a base is not under our control; the planned flight operations can change many times in a matter of moments, meaning every opportunity to capture ‘what you can, when you can’ must be taken.
One of our favourite mantras rings true when filming defence : ‘Luck favours the well prepared!'
Production content was managed by The Umbrella Organization and the film was shot across several days on location at RAF Odiham and Boeing’s office in London using a Sony PMW200 and Canon C300.

Beginning today, the general public can send questions to John Glenn, to be answered when he returns from his space shuttle flight.
In addition to sending questions to John Glenn, visitors to the "Ask An Astronaut" website can access biographical and multimedia files related to his flights and career as a United States Senator. A directory of related websites, as well as archives from previous featured astronauts (including Glenn's answers to questions received during his first appearance on the site in November 1996) are also available.
Commenting on his participation, John Glenn said, "I have always believed that education is very important, especially in the areas of math and science. What better way is there to learn than by asking questions?"
Aside from his roles as an astronaut and senator, John Glenn is a member of the National Space Society's Board of Governors.
"We are delighted to be able to feature the Senator on our website," said NSS Executive Director, Pat Dasch. "His evident enthusiasm for spaceflight and his confidence in the space program are an inspiration to us all."
Live events will also be accessible through the "Ask An Astronaut" website. Featured is a STS-95 launch webcast hosted by the NSS, Space Adventures, Ltd., InterVU, Inc., and Microsoft Corporation. In conjunction with the webcast, live online chats will be presented on Yahoo! Chat in partnership with TIME.com, and on America Online in partnership with Space Exploration Online.

"The aviation MoU is binding. Australian Aviation can use Iranian sky for its flights to Europe. The aviation MoU has been signed and Iran’s Consultative Assembly (Parliament) has to approve it for its performance bond,” he said.
Vahabi said the timing of direct flights have not been finalized yet.
Based on the MoU, Australian aviation can use Iran’s sky for its European flights, he said, adding the same right is reserved for Iran, however, since Iran does not have any flight to the country, it is useless.
He said receiving aerial services and holding direct flights between cities of Australia, including Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Iranian cities of Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz and Isfahan would be available after separate agreements between airlines of the two countries. | aerospace |

This Cessna 150 1959-1969 parts Catalog is the first and only completely comprehensive Cessna product manual. Pages are illustrative of parts as well as schematics and technical data, but the real meat of this book is the parts list. Not only is it complete with all relevant information, but it has done away with the filler material typical of most parts catalogs and focuses on actual replacement parts that will work for your airplane.
The beauty of having your own Cessna 150 aircraft is knowing its exact configuration and where each part fits, but this is beyond the scope of this article. In order to have a functional airplane, it is imperative that you know all of the specific specifications and parts required to put it together. A Cessna 150 1959-1969 parts manual can answer many of these questions. This product manual provides detailed assembly instructions for all components, all of the necessary mounting accessories, as well as complete wiring and testing procedures. You will also find complete illustrations of nuts, bolts, connectors, switches, fuses, washers, and other components.
These easy to read color pages illustrate each item in great detail, even including full sets of all necessary parts for your aircraft. The best part of this Cessna 150 1959-1969 parts guide is the fact that all replacement parts are illustrated in blue. This includes not only the nuts, and bolts, but also each individual part such as the canopy control stem cap. The final product is a Cessna aircraft that is ready to fly. | aerospace |

Out there: Voyager 1 enters space between stars
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- NASA says Voyager 1 has become the first spacecraft ever to leave the solar system.
The space agency announced the milestone Thursday and published the details in the journal Science.
Voyager 1 was launched 36 years ago on a tour of the outer planets. NASA says it is now cruising through what scientists call interstellar space, the vast, cold emptiness between the stars.
The spacecraft actually made its exit more than a year ago but NASA scientists say they didn't have enough evidence until recently. Some outside scientists though say they are still not convinced. | aerospace |

Instead of super-long-lead programs, endlessly reinventing the wheel, and pursuing dead-end science or engineering experiments, Goldin wanted NASA to think “Faster, Better, Cheaper.” This was meant to promote radical thinking and increased risk-taking, with the understanding that you can plan to mitigate against a million low-percentage accidents that could befall a spacecraft, but there are millions more still out there that are unknown. There was even a “Badge of Courage” program to reward employees who adopted the thinking.
This was nearly 20 years ago, but NASA’s just released three “Requests for Information” from the Office of the Chief Technologist that seem to indicate that some of that “faster, better, cheaper” is being injected into future NASA projects, with even more mature thinking than Goldin’s plans had. There’s even plenty of room for the new commercial space industry.

This is the big program, the one that pushes boundaries. The GCDP is designed to “develop novel aerospace capabilities that have more technical risk yet higher potential payoff” than the sort of tech being developed for NASA’s mainstream missions. The program is even focused on “developing radically new approaches to NASA’s future space missions and the nation’s significant aerospace” needs.
NASA’s asking for input from NASA centers, university sources, federal-funded R&D centers, “private or public companies” or even government research labs.
What’s all this for? It’s to come up with fairly mature bits of science, engineering, or even mathematical solutions that could be quickly co-opted into cutting-edge NASA programs, giving the agency all sorts of new capabilities that it otherwise may never have. By looking outside the organization, and placing the emphasis on risk-taking, NASA’s hoping to unearth some of the really clever, off-the-wall ideas that may never surface inside the daily churn of its main labs.
Who’s going to apply? It’s not likely to be you or me, but it could be an existing industry player like Lockheed or Boeing. It could also be one of the upstart new commercial space businesses like Elon Musk’s SpaceX or Jeff Bezo’s Blue Origin–these companies are pursuing their own solutions to the problems of traveling into space, and could easily have novel approaches that NASA could benefit learning from.
NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Program
This program is a little different, looking to develop “visionary concepts that could dramatically improve aerospace missions 10 or more years in the future.” The aim is to discover “revolutionary” thinking about tech that can “greatly improve” NASA’s aerospace missions, ideas that’ll “result in beneficial changes to NASA’s long-term plans” or “cross-cutting technologies that contribute new technological approaches for aerospace applications” as well as “communications, power, energy storage, propulsion, safety and security.”
It’s the kind of program that could result in those radical, conceptual, and alien-looking “aircraft of the future” flying in our skies inside a couple of decades. Boeing and companies like it may well be the target here, along with those already experienced in alternative approaches to aircraft design–firms like Burt Rutan’s Scaled Composites, which is busy building the carrier aircraft and spacecraft to make Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic Space company work.
Space Technology Research Grants Program
Like the NIAC, the STGR is looking for low Technology Readiness Level (i.e. still very much in the concept phase) ideas to push the boundaries of future space systems and space tech. It’s not directed at any particular missions, either underway or planned, and there’s a specific mention of “commercial space” endeavors in the document–showing NASA really is thinking differently about its future space missions.
Academic institutions and the commercial space sector are the likely candidates for this money. And possibly even sources inside NASA, like the group of “rebellious” engineers and scientists who always opposed the canceled Constellation program and favored an alternative and potentially swifter solution.
The good news from all this is that NASA’s not content to lumber along as a big linear-thinking engine, and wants to challenge the status quo to come up with really novel solutions to future problems. Given the mess, partly of a political origin, that the agency is currently in the middle of concerning its heavy lift/Lunar rocket program, this can only be a good thing.

First flown on August 20th, 1984 Discovery was the fourth Shuttle built and the third to fly into space. Discovery was the first of the second generation shuttles. She was 6000+ pounds lighter than Columbia. It was this Optimization that made it able to dock with the International Space Station. Columbia was never able to do that due to its weight. Discovery is 6 pounds heavier than her sister Atlantis.
All of the Orbiters were (seems strange to say past tense) equipped with three Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne RS-25 Liquid Fuelled Cryogenic Rockets. The SSME or Space Shuttle Main Engines develop 418 thousand pounds of force each. The three engines are fueled by the mix of Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Hydrogen. The Nozzles are 10 inches at the top and 90 inches at the main opening. The engines themselves reach a temperature of 5,999 degrees Fahrenheit that is higher than the boiling point of Iron. The nozzles are gimbled to that they can be vectored to help control flight. The Fuel source for the engines is the Central tank. The Orbiter the SRBs and the main tank are called the Stack. The SRBs or Solid Rocket Boosters are attached to the tank, they do not draw fuel from it. They are self-contained.
There are also two sets of Orbital Maneuvering System. They are the large pods next to the Vertical Tail. The OMS is used to orbit or correct orbits, and most importantly de-orbit the shuttle so she can return to earth. The OMS pods also include the Reaction Control System for the rear of the shuttle. The RCS which uses Helium controls Pitch Yaw and Roll of the Shuttle in orbit. The forward RCS are the holes at the nose of the Shuttle.
This week the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven Udvar-Hazy Center will be receiving the Discovery in its collection. But anyone who’s been to Udvar-Hazy knows that in the James A McDonnell Space Hangar has a shuttle already. Why the swop? The Shuttle in there currently is OV-101 the Enterprise. Enterprise while significant never flew in Space. She was part of the Approach and Landing Tests. Enterprise was the largest placeholder in the world. She lived at NASM until another would replace her. It was finally decided it would be Discovery. I believe that originally the Smithsonian was to get Columbia. Enterprise will be transferred to NYC to sit next to the Concorde at the USS Intrepid Museum.
Why is Discovery going to NASM over the other remaining Shuttles; Atlantis and Endeavour? Discovery is the most significant of the remaining shuttles. Here are some of the stats that make her special:
· She was the third shuttle to fly into space however the has been in space the longest.
· She has spent 365 days in space.
· She has flown 149 Million Miles, and completed 5,830 orbits.
· She, three times brought the program back to life. She completed the three “Return to Flight” missions after the losses of Columbia and Challenger.
· She was the one who deployed the Hubble Space Telescope.
· She has carried two Senators, Jake Garn and John Glenn, who at 77 still is the oldest person to have been in space.
· Discovery was the first shuttle with a woman pilot Eileen Collins.
· Discovery was the First shuttle to dock with the International Space Station.
· She also has the record for longest duration mission STS-131 with 15 days in orbit.
· She also flew the 100th Space Shuttle Mission.Discovery now grounded begins this week a new mission. She will represent 27 years of Human Space Flight! | aerospace |

Guests in the bursts roar engine sound, as if boarded the shuttle back to 60's luxury airliner, wanton shuttle in fake watches time.
Other than the military, there are two other types of flight schools following closely related, but slightly different FAA rules in their operations: Part 141 and Part 61.
Part 141 schools are very formal and the instructors at the school follow a structured program. There is usually a formal ground school and the flying is controlled at every stage. Advantages are the structure and clear progression of the syllabus. Some disadvantages are the structure and a restricted flight environment.
Part 61 schools are more informal and the instructors are able to develop their own syllabus and individual lessons while offering one-on-one training. Midwestern Helicopter is a Part 61 flight school that offers advantages being able to customize training based on your progression, the flexibility to adjust training around your schedule, and allowing you to train where and when you can fly.
The best way to determine the cost is to simply use the hourly rate for the helicopter and the hourly instructor cost and multiply that by the hours expected to fly. When looking at a school's program, you need to ask: Is the price being quoted a "national average" or is it FAA minimums?
There will be other incidental costs above and beyond the helicopter and instructor. These costs are books, supplies, medical exam, taxes, and testing fees. If the flight school is away from your current home, add in housing costs, food, and transportation.
At Midwestern Helicopter we recognize that learning to fly and becoming a professional pilot can be expensive. We pledge that we will make you a safe, competent, proficient, and experienced pilot while respecting your time and staying conscious of your expenses. | aerospace |

The project, developed by SpaceX , aims to provide broadband Internet with low latency and worldwide coverage at low cost, mainly so that rural areas have access to the connection.
Starlink development started in 2015 and the first prototypes were released in February 2018.
The launch of the first 60 satellites took place in May 2019, it was even thought that it was a UFO sighting , but no, after spreading rumors, it was finally known that they were Elon Musk’s satellites .
In the same way, SpaceX , what Starlink is looking for , is that it can provide connectivity to inaccessible areas of the planet, as well as provide a service at competitive prices for urban areas.
However, it seems that, since 2015, we finally have more certainty about the project. Elon Musk posted on Twitter that 420 satellites have already been launched to operate in orbit.
“There are already 420 Starlink satellites operating,” said the magnate.
There are now 420 operational Starlink satellites 🛰 😉— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 22, 2020
Before the publication of Elon Musk , a netizen questioned the billionaire about the coverage of the service. The businessman replied that a private beta version would start in three months and the public beta is scheduled to take place in six months.
How many Starlink launches needed until minor/moderate coverage? Are you still targeting service in the US & Canada by end of this year?— Viv 🐉 (@flcnhvy) April 23, 2020
This means that the deployment would not be final. In fact, Starlink would begin to provide service for high latitudes; that is, those areas near the pole and far from the equator.
For now, it is unknown when the project would finally start in its entirety, but at least it is already known that the year 2020 will be the first to carry out tests to verify its operation.
We can only be patient and wait for more information to be provided. | aerospace |

In the development and manufacture of helicopters holding company "Russian Helicopters", it uses as its own scientific and technical potential, and also the achievements of Russian science and technology organizations. Improving the range of development carried out in two areas: modernization of existing machines and the creation of a new generation of helicopters. The major criteria for deciding whether a customer-oriented and multi-purpose nature of the art being created. It caters not only to the needs of customers, but also to strengthen the position of the Russian helicopter industry, as well as the domestic and global markets.
Currently, the most widespread in the domestic market are middle-class helicopters. Certified and started the production of multi-purpose helicopter Mi-171A2, which will replace the Mi-8, Mi-17. At the helicopter made more than 20 major design changes. Helicopter has a powerful economic engine Russian production "Klimov", a new rotor with composite blades improved aerodynamics and a so-called glass cockpit.
In the development of a set of measures has been provided, which allowed to reduce labor costs for maintenance, optimize the cost of flight hours and implement the concept of reducing costs for our operators. The helicopter used for transport and passenger transport in the interests of a wide range of operators, including transportation of the watch, loads on offshore rigs in the interests of fuel and energy complex. In 2017, it will be produced and delivered to customers 4 helicopters.
Work continues on the implementation of the program of promotion of the new Mi-38. Thanks to the technical solutions used the helicopter is superior to other helicopters in its class in payload, passenger capacity, the basic flight characteristics. The helicopter is certified, the first delivery of the passenger modification of the helicopter is planned in 2018. The helicopter can be used in a wide range of climatic conditions, including marine, tropical, cool climate, including in the Arctic.
Currently, the holding company specialists are working to further expand the performance, increased payload, enhance operational capabilities in the high altitude and extreme temperatures.
The class of light helicopters manufactured by the holding company, represented by models "ANSAT" and Ka-226. Light multipurpose helicopter "ANSAT" certified in a variety of applications - passenger, health, universal. We assume that it will replace the Mi-2 on the whole range of tasks, ensure a high level of safety and enhanced transport capabilities.
In 2016 the first Russian cars to commercial customers, export contracts have been delivered. The machine has a spacious cargo cabin, which is being converted to different variants of the target application. "ANSAT" can be used to solve a wide range of tasks. Currently, this is the most sought-after helicopter to meet the challenges of air ambulance, it can also be used for cargo delivery, passenger and initial training.
Light multipurpose helicopter Ka-226T is built on a modular pattern and is available in a variety of targeted modifications, apply to a wide range of tasks in the interests of civil air operations. Ka-226T has increased altitude performance. Today, among other things, we are actively pursuing the Russian-Indian project for the joint production of helicopters.
Separately, the direction of the national economy problems - a helicopter for operation in harsh climatic conditions and helicopters for Arctic conditions. In addition to helicopters, which are now produced and are planning to start in the near future, the holding is already supplying modern equipment, which is adapted for use in regions with poorly developed transport networks, in the far north, in the Arctic. In 2016, 4 of the helicopter for the company "Rosneft" were delivered. The Mi-38 will create new transport capacity for government and commercial customers.
Promising average commercial helicopter. On the basis of scientific and technical reserve formed in previous years, including in the framework of long-term high-speed helicopter, which is implemented under the auspices of the Industry and Trade Ministry, is developing a promising medium commercial helicopter. Basic helicopter configuration provides the ability to create a wide range of civil helicopter modifications and special purpose. Features allow you to carry up to 22 passengers.
The helicopter of light class. Another direction of the holding company is to create a single-engine light multipurpose helicopter maximum takeoff weight of up to 2 tons. It is the mass segment of the global civil helicopter market, related to general aviation. For us, this new segment.
Here, we set ourselves the following objectives:
* create a product attractive for commercial customers as well as for personal use;
* to enter new markets for us;
* This helicopter has good prospects in the niche corporate transport, monitoring fuel and energy facilities, initial training.
A key advantage of the product is the transport performance and range, the best-in-class helicopters.
Today Dmitry O. and colleagues have already talked about the fact that the state attaches great importance to the aviation industry. In previous periods was GTLK capitalize not only on the job of aircraft, last year 3.8 billion rubles were made in GTLK capital to address the medical evacuation tasks. These funds are used for the construction of "ANSAT", Mi-8 and Mi-17. Today, together, our colleagues from GTLK, Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Health are actively working with the regions. Today we see increased demand and would ask colleagues to support us in this and in the following periods.
Entering the market with the new civilian products always fraught with additional financial burden, as the manufacturer, and the operator. Success in sales depends largely on the development of the market of services and availability of financial instruments. As I said, the program is actively developing on medevakuatsiya, extending the vesting period for 2018 and subsequent years will allow us to increase the order book and the regions to raise the level of medical care, especially in critical situations and difficult terrain. Also, we consider it expedient to study the possibility of including helicopter services in the compulsory health insurance scheme (OMC), which would allow to offset the costs, including insurance companies and organizations in the medical evacuation. Solution of the problem to improve the transport accessibility could also help to subsidize passenger traffic, using helicopters in remote areas, the organization of regular routes in areas with underdeveloped land transport infrastructure and the development of ground infrastructure for use of helicopters.
Dear Dmitry O.! Dear members of the board, we were asked to give relevant instructions in the minutes of today's meeting, to include in the plan the discussion of these issues at the upcoming meeting of the Board. In general, I have everything. Accordingly, the main problem that we see today, are actively developing - is to increase accessibility for carriers of our aircraft. Of course, the new aircraft technology will be more expensive than the amortized equipment produced earlier. That's just solve this problem, it seems to us, it should be discussed in the next meeting of the Board. In order to harmonize the approaches, both for producers and for the operators. | aerospace |

Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi initially said on Telegram on Monday that two aircraft had been destroyed, writing: “Warriors of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed an enemy A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and an enemy IL-22 air control center.”
He also thanked the Air Force for “the perfectly planned and executed operation” in southern Ukraine.
In a statement, the Ukrainian Air Forces called the special operation in the Azov Sea region “successful.”
Information about the downing of two Russian military aircraft by Ukrainian forces over the Sea of Azov appeared in social media late on Sunday.
Moscow has not yet confirmed the loss of the aircraft. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov did not comment on the reports on Monday and referred journalists to the Russian Ministry of Defense. The defense ministry did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment.
Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, later said in a post on Facebook that one of the Russian planes targeted was able to make a landing, but said it appeared “beyond repair.”
“So, no matter how you slice it, the target is destroyed, and resuscitation will not help!” he wrote.
“The long-range radar detection aircraft A-50 was and is a priority target for us,” he added. “And until today, the destruction of this aircraft seemed an impossible task for the Air Force.”
The Sea of Azov separates Ukraine and Russia at the northeastern point of the Black Sea, north of Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula occupied by Russia since 2014.
The Institute for the Study of War wrote earlier this month, citing Russian military bloggers, that Russia had “begun constant sorties of A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft due to the threat of Ukrainian strikes against Russian military infrastructure in Crimea.”
The A-50 is a Soviet-era spy plane designed to detect and report back the coordinates and movements of enemy objects.
A Ukrainian intelligence source provided an audio recording of the incident alleged to be an intercept from a nearby Russian fighter jet relaying an assistance call from the damaged IL-22 to ground control for an emergency landing.
“The aircraft asked to pass on information immediately. It was hit, plans to land in Anapa. An ambulance and fire fighters are urgently needed,” the nearby Russian jet allegedly radioed down to ground control.
CNN cannot independently confirm the audio recording.

The aerospace industry is a complex and heavily data-reliant field which requires a great deal of research, design, and production for proper execution of its products and services. Machine learning has played an active role in the development of technology in aerospace to aid in this process, providing valuable information that would otherwise be difficult to obtain or unobtainable using traditional methods. The development of autonomous systems of control and execution for vehicles and aircraft has been a field of particular interest and help in this industry as well. As the development of this field progresses, it will continue to play a key role in the development of the industry as a whole.
The development of aerospace technologies is a long, costly, and arduous process with high risks in case of any product or individual part failures. The ability to use prior data from such failures under similar conditions is a promising field which may allow for predictive data analysis of ongoing and future projects to ensure clarity in the potential risks and rewards for a given project. In “Using Big Data and predictive machine learning in aerospace test environments,”(Armes, Refern 2013), this is elaborated. RMA, or “Returned Materials Authorization” is a system which processes the failures and necessary returns or scrapping of failed parts and tests which is involved in any projects’ ongoing development process. The potential for machine learning in this system and integration with the “R&D” (Research and Development) department is huge. The case in point of this application is as follows: “By posing the question: ‘These certain products have not failed yet, but are at risk of failing’ and having a solid justification for that probability of failure, the engineer/analyst can affect real change and give executives the information necessary to prevent disastrous product failures in the field.” Armes and Refern point out that the ability of machine learning applied in this manner, to organize and present data effectively in this way would prove a huge boon to all future aerospace development projects and increase the efficiency of these projects.
In addition to analysis, the aerospace industry is heavily involved in applying machine learning to autonomous systems. Since 2003, for example, JPL has been operating the “Autonomous Sciencecraft Experiment” onboard an orbiting satellite. It uses the “‘Continuous Activity Scheduling Planning Execution and Replanning’ software”, or CASPER, to aid in the autonomous study and analysis of “science events” which it can detect from orbit. It is able to “study … short-lived science events(such as volcanic eruptions, dust storms, etc.)” and “reduces instrument setup time by using autonomy software to take advantage of execution information to streamline operations”(jpl.nasa.gov). The ability of CASPER to more indpendently detect these “science events” from orbit and relatively independently create and execute plans of action rapidly for analysis purposes means that such events can be far more efficiently catalogued and studied by scientists for a variety of purposes. Private enterprise has been entering the field of autonomous systems in aerospace as well, with the company Near Earth Autonomy now working on a grant from NASA to develop autonomous systems for takeoff and landing vehicles and aircraft. The key point of focus for their research is the ability of such a vehicle, with the inclusion of a “Safe50 software module,” which will “accurately guide the [Unmanned Aircraft System] from take-off to landing in a fully autonomous manner, outside of the operator’s visual line of sight, without a direct link with a base station, and with intermittent GPS reception,” (Geiver 2016). This is a crucial field of development for the entire aerospace industry, and with ongoing advances in this sort of technology the pain and dangers of launch and landing operations has the potential to be reduced significantly, and without the heavy emphasis on simultaneous and complex outside controls (via controller/gps/nav) which is currently a necessity.
In short, the aerospace industry is one in which the applications of machine learning are crucial to most future developments of technology and system capability. Design and Production analysis for various technologies and projects, along with the creation of autonomous systems to aid in the function of these technologies are moving forward with haste and will continue to do so. The integration of these systems and technologies within aerospace research will allow for previously impossible scientific analysis of data, and previously impossible levels of control and safety for vehicles and aircraft. The cost-effectiveness and safety guarantees promised by machine learning integration is clear; industries within aerospace will undoubtedly continue efforts in this area as long as they prove to be fruitful, and at the moment the promise of this seems to be enormous.

The plane that carried the Oscar-winning actor blew a tire while taking off at Clarksdale, Mississippi airport and was forced to make an emergency landing.
Freeman was heading to Texas where he was scheduled to shoot a segment for National Geographic’s series “The Story of God”. The 78-year-old actor narrates the global series which explores mankind’s quest to understand the divine. He had been in several locations around the world including Cairo, Egypt and will continue filming in Jerusalem and India.
Freeman issued a statement following the incident, saying “Sometimes things don’t go as planned and a tire blew on take-off which caused other problems. But thanks to my excellent pilot Jimmy Hobson we landed safely without a scratch. I cannot say the same about my plane. I appreciate the concern and prayers for our safety.”
Clarksdale, Mississippi, Mayor Bill Luckett who happened to be friends with Freeman said the actor and the pilot were the only two passengers on board the plane. He told ABC News that Hobson landed the plane in Tunica around 5 P.M. after burning off fuel. The twin-engine plane went off the runway but the extent of its damage is not yet known. An inspector would check the plane on Sunday.
According to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Kathleen Bergen the Emivest SJ-30 aircraft reported a “mechanical problem” after taking off from Fletcher Field in Lyon which was just outside Clarksdale. She also confirmed in an email that the plane’s main landing gear had collapsed. Freeman was booked another flight that would take him to Houston, Mississippi where he owns a house. | aerospace |

The names of the men that led the mission are Alan Shepard,Gus Grissom,Gordon Cooper,Wally Schirra and Deke Slayton. Project Mercury took place in 1958 and completed in 1963. The objectives were to successfully orbit a manned spacecraft around earth, investigate humankinds' ability to function in space and to recover both occupant and spacecraft. All the astronauts were military test pilots. Project Mercury was sucessful.
Project Gemini was named after the crew members that led the mission. The mission took place 1965 and ended in 1966. The challenges in Project Gemini were gain astronaut experience with long duration space flights, methods of reentry and landing the spacecraft and study the effects of weightlessness on astronauts during long flights. Gemini missions involved the first American extravehicular activity and new orbital maneuvers including rendezvous and docking. Project Mercury was successful.
The men who led Apollo 11 were Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Apollo 11 began in 1969 and ended in 1969.Apollo 11 was the first space flight to land on the moon. The mission duration was 8 days 3 hours and 18 minutes. Apollo 11 was a sucess. | aerospace |

The anticipation was palpable at Moon Mission HQ as Beresheet embarked on its landing routine. There was joy as a selfie arrived from just above the surface, but the joy quickly became worry.
I would say it was a rollercoaster ride but that seems trite — after all, theme parks are so often trying to simulate what they imagine space travel to be like. This was space, with all its danger and uncertainty.
There were gasps when we were told there was a problem with the main engine.
It felt for a moment like we were watching an episode of the Channel 4 series The IT Crowd, where tech support automatically tells people to “turn it off and on again.”
The on-and-off trick worked and the engine hummed back into action, but there were deeper problems and it was not possible to slow the landing enough to keep Beresheet in one piece.
The disappointment was overwhelming. Somehow, even though this was a distant possibility and the final phase of the mission was highly risky, people had been confident that something momentous was about to happen.
Maybe it was the fact that, when three innovators started working on Beresheet in 2011, it seemed so unlikely they would even manage to build something close to a spacecraft.
“In the beginning we were really dreaming,” Eran Privman, who was SpaceIL chief executive for five years, told me as he waited for the landing.
“We thought we could do it but no one else thought it could be done. We didn’t know how it was going to work.”
I remember visiting the SpaceIL offices in 2013 and wondering if that room in a shabby Tel Aviv University building without working air conditioning would really be the powerhouse of a space mission.
Could the inexperienced team — one member was just 15 at the time — really make this happen?
The fact they not only completed the spacecraft but also got it so far from Earth and into the Moon’s orbit made Israelis, and in particular the people who were at Mission Control, feel that there was “just” one final stage to go before history would be made.
Failure was not part of the plan.
But shortly after news of the crash sunk in, a realisation spread at Moon Landing HQ that the mission was, nevertheless, historic.
Israel has still become one of the seven countries to reach lunar orbit and even that Berersheet crashed to the moon one of the four countries to get a craft there — albeit in this case not intact.
“It is by far the smallest, the cheapest spacecraft ever to get to the moon,” Opher Doron, general manager of the space division at Israel Aerospace Industries, said in a hastily-arranged press conference, as waiters, realising there was not going to be a party, cleared away desserts.
“It is the first time it is a non-government mission to get to the moon.”
And far quicker than British rail companies sort out leaves-on-the-line problems, SpaceIL staff were talking about the second attempt: Beresheet 2.
The 88-year-old philanthropist, Morris Kahn, who made Beresheet possible and, a couple of hours earlier, told me what motivated him to get involved, said that in the next mission “we will do better and we will learn and we will succeed”.
The evening was quintessentially Israeli. A celebration of a harebrained unlikely idea, a venture that saw Israelis inspiring their nation, diaspora Jews, and others around the world. Things going pear shaped. A plucky response, and determination by the engineers to dust themselves off and try again.
It was a tribute to an initiative that brought together all ages from the octogenarian Mr Khan ato the many school kids who stayed up late for the occasion.
Many of them went to bed — eventually — reflecting that there is a silver lining to the so-called failure.
As teeth were brushed and Israel’s young space enthusiasts tucked in, they drifted off to picture themselves as heroic engineers who find a foolproof formula and land the first successful mission.
Of course, I am far more grown up and realistic. I went home to write a letter outlining why I should be given press accreditation to be blasted off aboard Israel’s first manned trip to the Moon. | aerospace |
