For less than the price of the Cassini mission, NASA launched 16 mission, including the Pathfinder mission to Mars and the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), which no kidding, landed on an asteroid, after collecting 10 times more data than they'd expected. Of those 16 mission, only 10 succeeded, but that's still 10 successful missions for less than the price of a single planetary mission using the "traditional" Slower, Suckier, More Expensive approach (excuse me - I mean, the deliberate, modernist, Scientific Management approach, which never ever fails ever).
The crazy thing is, many people treat FBC as if it was not only a failure, but an embarrassing failure. As if NASA should have known better than to try something so absurd as reducing costs and delays in their pursuit of knowledge and adventure in space. As if 10 successes for the price of 1 is an inadequate track record. As if the data clearly shows we must "pick two," instead of pursuing simultaneous improvements in all three dimensions. I don't get it.
OK, I'm not really stumped. I have my theories about why the approach was rejected. But it's becoming increasingly clear that the rejection and ridicule of the FBC approach has nothing to do with the initiative's actual results, which were admirable and impressive.

Prior to the plane’s departure from Delaware, the plane was subjected to extensive de-icing after Old Uncle Joe spent most of the past Christmas holidays there celebrating. Despite the fact that most federal offices were slated to be closed this past Monday as the area battled horrid weather, Old Uncle Joe is still expected to go and be present for an event aimed at “boosting competition & reducing prices in the meat-processing industry.”

“As snow blankets D.C., Air Force One is being de-iced as President Biden prepares to return from Delaware. Federal offices are closed, so the press briefing is canceled but we’ll see Biden during an event on boosting competition & reducing prices in the meat-processing industry,” stated Kaitlan Collins, a White House correspondent with CNN.
Multiple groups of reporters shared photos taken of the arrival of Air Force One and of the ground crews fighting the snow at JBA as they attempted to make ready for the arrival of the president from Delaware.

Austin Landis, a national politics reporter for Spectrum News, stated that even once Air Force One had landed at JBA, the ground crews were still feverishly working on efforts to clear a path for the president and crew to disembark.
“Ahead of the president’s arrival, so much snow had fallen here at Joint Base Andrews that Air Force One had to taxi for 28 minutes before parking,” claimed the reporter.
The act of moving and making use of the moving stair systems that President Biden and his flight crew could get off the plane also proved problematic due to the extreme cold and icy weather.

Currently, large swaths of the mid-Atlantic area are fighting against a winter storm that was slated to last until late Monday evening, sporting expected snowfalls ranging from four to eight inches in a few areas. As reported by CNN:
More than 20 million people are under winter storm alerts Monday, as a strong stormsystem works its way across the eastern US.
The federal government in Washington, DC, is closed Monday, and weather-related disruptions are being felt across the country. Many schools have canceled classes, and the hundreds of thousands of customers are without power.
Snowfall totals of 4 to 8 inches are possible across the southern Appalachians, and areas of the Mid-Atlantic could see accumulations of up to 8 inches through Monday. | aerospace |

As drone incidents continue to escalate, targeting airports, critical infrastructures and even government leaders, HLS and civil organisations are seeking advanced drone counter-measures to prevent disruption to flights, operations and more importantly ensure public safety.
Used by military, agriculture and industries for aerial monitoring, mapping and surveillance mapping, drones have become a global industry
with an estimated value of $100BN. As such, the development of commercial UAV for delivery services poses new challenges for homeland
security. Used by terrorist groups and criminals, today’s UAV’s can be adapted with relative ease to carry a significant payload, achieving a long-range and acceptable accuracy using inexpensive and increasingly available technology, amid relatively ambiguous regulations.
The increased use of UAVs has strengthened the threat of terrorism to homeland security.
Insurgents, conducting complex operations against high-profile targets. Drones are used by terrorist groups, radicals and criminal who are
honing their technological capabilities and using uas a sophisticated espionage tool to interfere with communications systems, intercept sensitive data.
Undeterred by traditional security perimeter protection and hard to access terrain, drones infiltrate such sites with the greatest of ease.
Drones have become an ideal weapon of attack for such organisations, heightening a groups’ ability to execute rapid and coordinated attacks, leaving little evidence behind. The dire situation is highlighted by the insurgents’ willingness to invest in R&D programs, reportedly recruiting skilled scientists to develop and adapt UAVs into lethal autonomous weapon systems. These developments may reinvent terrorist tactics, adding a new layer to the already growing homeland security challenges.

- Analysis of Lesson Plan 4
Lesson Plan #4 consists of two flights, the first is the final of three lessons on basic maneuvers—having the rather awkward expression of “advanced basic maneuvers”. Here, the student learns speed and flap changes in straight and level flight, as well as climbs and descents incorporating flaps and flap changes. This marks the end of the classic developmental exercises (straight and level flight, climbs, descents and turns). The second flight making up Lesson Plan #4—flight for maximum range and endurance—marks the beginning of the monolithic exercises—that is, generally, single-exercise flights, including slow flight, stalls, spirals, and spins (upper air exercises), as well as slipping. When these monolithic exercises are complete, generally speaking, the student begins circuit training.
Advanced Basic Maneuvers
The first flight of Lesson Plan #4 (referred to as LP#2A) returns to straight and level flight and introduces students to the deployment of flaps during fight. There are lots of good reasons for working the student through this exercise. The use of flaps entails considerable changes in force required on the control column to maintain stable pitch attitude and therefore stable airspeed—flap extension and retraction is typically done near the ground—in the critical overshoot maneuver, for example—where speed and pitch control (so as to maintain altitude control) are clear priorities. Moreover, the misuse of flaps, especially in Cessna 100-series (172s, 152s, and 150s, for example) has a history of high accident risk. As instructors, then, we are highly motivated to train are students well here. The main goal in all this is for students to learn to properly control the nose of the aircraft during flap changes.
Speed and Flap Changes in Straight and Level Flight
With the aircraft trimmed for straight and level flight at a speed within the white arch, first demonstrate the uncorrected response of the aircraft to incremental flap extension—you don’t have to go to full flap deployment, but ensure the student observes both the resultant pitch, roll, and yaw disruption—the pitch changes are generally obvious, while the roll upset relates to slipstream moving asymmetrically over the flap surfaces. Then show the student the same flap changes with the proper corrective inputs to maintain straight and level flight. Then repeat the uncorrected/corrected demonstration sequence with flap retraction. Now the student is ready to try maintaining straight and level flight while deploying and retracting the flaps—assign the appropriate drill and provide for sufficient repetitions until the student has mastered the control column pressure changes, and the countervailing trim changes, necessary for straight and level flight.
You owe it to your student to experience full-flap extensions and retraction with little if any incremental pause. Keep in mind that their ability to maintain straight and level flight during such adverse flaps changes could save the day. Provide a proper demonstration and assign the drill to the student with sufficient repetitions so as to instill comfort and confidence.
As a final drill for the student, assign a series of speed and flap targets for the student using white-arch speeds above the maximum distance glide speed (so as to avoid slow flight) and the full range of flap angles. Again, assign sufficient repetitions so as to instill comfort and confidence in your student.
Flap and Speed Targets during Climbs and Descents
With respect to instruction on the use of flaps during climbs and descent, create a drill sequences based on the prescribed flap and speed settings for the full-flap approach sequence, as well as and the takeoff and departure sequence prescribed by the POH that requires the use of climb flap. Begin with the climb sequences fist (as this is generally the easiest), using the best-rate, best-angle, and best-angle with flaps speed configurations. For the descents, use thee approach speed and flap configuration, including the base-leg and final approach settings prescribed in the aircraft POH for executing a full-flap landing. When these are master, tie the two together, with an overshoot sequence drill requiring a properly executed retraction from the full-flap setting to a best-rate climb with clean flap.
Here are some additional points that may or may not be obvious. This lesson is delivered in the standard “I do—you do” format. Beginning with straight and level flight, specify your speed targets for best rate, best angle, and best angle with flaps configurations. Now specify your altitude targets based on the assumption that you will maintain each configuration for 500’—you start the climb at the best rate of climb speed, then transition to the best angle climb speed, then the best angle climbs speed with prescribed flaps, then revert to the best angle climb speed, and finally the best rate of climb speed. The same consideration apply to the full-flap approach sequence. When flaps are extended or retracted, be sure to demonstrate precise pitch control, holding the nose steady during the extension and retraction phases.
Flight for Maximum Range and Endurance
Begin this by demonstrating the RPM method for reckoning the best power and best economy settings using the mixture. Be sure to take guidance on this using the From the Ground Up if you are not sure of this. With respect to the EGT method for establishing the same settings, I suggest deferring this to the navigation exercises later on if the aircraft is so equipped.
Next have the student set the aircraft up in accordance with the 55% power setting requirements prescribed by the POH (and of course ascertained by the student in the preparatory ground instruction preceding the flight). Once the throttle is set, the student can compare the airspeed values—requiring, don’t forget, the conversion of IAS into the POH’s TAS value (hopefully the airspeed indicator is equipped with an adjustable scale).
The student should then recover the aircraft back to normal cruise flight, to begin the practical method for determining maximum range—here the power should be set to 2500 RPM to begin. The aircraft should be tracking an adequately long track reference so as to avoid disruptive turn maneuvers. Beginning at 2500 RPM, and working down using 100 RPM increments to approximately 1800 or 1900 RPM, record the speed at each increment once the speed has stabilized. The student maintains straight and level flight, keeping the standard traffic scanning practices in play, while the instructor is the secretary and supervisory, recording the incremental speed values. You have reached the bottom RPM increment when the airspeed cannot be stabilized as the student attempts to maintain straight and level flight. When this is reached, take control of the aircraft, return to a normal power setting, and have the student analyse the speed table you have recorded, identifying the proper incremental value that established the most efficient speed setting.
The process is completed for maximum endurance, with only some minor changes. The student need not start at 2500 RPM (clearly the aircraft can maintain level flight); instead start at 2200 RPM. When the student gets to 2000 RPM, have the student reduce in only 50 RPM or “needle width” increments with the added rule that power cannot be advanced (after it has been reduced), as could work the aircraft up the back-side of the power curve. When below-endurance power is reached, airspeed will continue to fall off as the student attempts to maintain altitude. When this occurs return to the previous power setting where level flight was still possible—this of course was noted by the instructor. Note that when returning to this previous power setting, avoid simply adding power from the slow speed condition as this may again position you in the slow flight range—accelerate the aircraft slightly and ask the student to again approach the target endurance power setting with incremental reductions. It’s important to get this right as you next move as instructor is to demonstrate the transition from endurance to slow flight by raising the nose, and then adding slight power to maintain a constant altitude—this won’t work if you are not properly re-established at maximum endurance speed and power when you initiate this demonstration. | aerospace |

And the space agency has already hired an Austin-based company to build them.
The US national space agency NASA plans to build homes on the Moon by 2040, and several scientists from the agency told the New York Times that work is already underway. The agency is preparing to return to the Moon and hopes that its astronauts will be able to stay on the Moon for a long time in a house built with a 3D printer.
Houses will be built on the Moon
The Moon is critical to humanity’s next breakthrough. The Moon offers powerful opportunities for humanity to become an interplanetary race. Many space agencies aim to build bases on the Moon. NASA plans to turn the satellite into a settlement by building houses along with bases. In fact, this is already more than a plan. Austin-based 3D printing company ICON will build houses using lunar soil in a project called Project Olympus. “We brought the right people together at the right time for a common goal, so I think we’re going to get there,” said Niki Werkheiser, NASA’s director of technology maturation.
ICON built its first 32-square-meter prototype home in March 2018 in Austin with a proprietary machine called Vulcan. The company is building more than 400 homes in Austin and hurricane-resistant homes for the poor in rural Mexico. The company has been working with NASA since 2020 and received $57 million in funding in 2022 to build construction systems that use lunar and Martian resources as building materials.
Tests will take place next year
The company plans to use dust, rocks and mineral fragments from the Moon’s surface to create the concrete-like material that will form houses and other buildings. But the challenge here is less about the material and more about the physics. ICON’s printer will be tested next February at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center to see how it handles space conditions. Beyond homes, NASA is working with universities and private companies on other household items, from doors to tiles and furniture. There is no word yet on how (or if) they will cope with the atmosphere.
But before all that, NASA needs to successfully send astronauts back to the Moon. If all goes according to plan, the Artemis 2 mission will send astronauts into lunar orbit in 2024. The Artemis 3 mission will land at the Moon’s south pole in 2025 or 2026 with the help of SpaceX’s Starship and return humans to the surface. | aerospace |

Checking the rumored images, I find out there is only slight design difference between these two quadcopters. The price gap between the GT-M3 130mm and GT-M3 143mm is only $3.
Regardless the frame size, both Diatone 2018 GT-M3 drones are equipped with versatile F4 flight controller and 600TVL camera. Propulsion system is achieved by using 4 pieces of 1408 4000KV brushless motors equipped with 3 inch 4-leaf propellers.
According to your flight skill you can configure these racing drones with 3 different flight modes (Angle, Horizon and Air).
Diatone 2018 GT-M3 Normal 130mm and the GT-M3 Stretch 143mm features
- Robust carbon fiber frame;
- Aluminium CNC fuselage;
- Versatile F4 flight controller with built-in OSD;
- Multiple flight modes (Angle, Horizon and Acro);
- Edge racing 1408 4000KV brushless motors;
- F20HV 4S ESC Dshot600 4-in-1 ESC;
- 3″ 4-leaf propellers;
- G1. Sniper 600TVL camera with CCD Sensor;
- 5.8G VTX TBS support (telemetry).
Both versions are delivered in PNP package. You will need to use your own LiPo battery, and radio system (receiver and transmitter).
Diatone 2018 GT-M3 Normal Plus
After the Normal X and Screeched X, Diatone announced a 3rd model of the GT-M3 series called Normal Plus. While it is also based on the F4 flight controller, the frame shape is completely different.
Frankly, the design of the GT-M3 Normal Plus seems to be not just stupid, but also dangerous. As you can see in the image above the frontal motor is fully exposed for crash. Even if the arms are made of thick carbon fiber, they will surely break on hard crashes. | aerospace |

This week, the publicity team have gone out of their way to try and promote the launch to the students of the school. We organised a bake-sale to help raise funds for any future space programmess the school may want to host and also used it as an opportunity to upgrade some of the cameras that will be fitted on to our payload. Students arrived in droves at the dining room to grab any homemade brownies and cake still left. During this week of fundraising we have also launched two competitions, one to send your own tie up to space and the final competition was to have a guess as to where our payload will land.
Thank you to all those who have participated in this week of fundraising as it will enable us to allow future students or younger students to do the same thing when they’re older.
We have also designed a Logo and some polo shirts for the team to wear. On the programming side of things, the team has really stepped up their game with the payload and are in full flow with designing code ready for launch. A big effort has gone into the programming, which is the backbone of the whole project.
Speaking of the launch, the flight team, who are in charge of deciding the launch location and predicting where it will land, have announced that the launch will be taking place from Ross-On-Wye in Herefordshire. More dates will be announced as we have them. As all these things start falling into place, the more the launch is starting to materialise into a reality!
Ed, Year 12
23.02.16 – Progress Update
After a successful week of fundraising in the school dining hall, the team managed to raise funds to help us purchase an extra camera which will be fitted to our payload. This will mean that we will have HD video recorded throughout the flight.
The flight team have put a lot of time and hard work into finalising the details of the actual launch date. We hope to be leaving for Herefordshire next Monday, where students will be able to see all their hard work come to fruition. The flight team have also had to take into account predicted winds and any other weather issues that may face us.
After meticulous planning and long discussions the project is really starting to come together. The engineering team has added a few final touches to the payload to make sure it is balanced correctly and now the only thing that could possibly stand in our way of achieving our goal is Mother Nature herself. We hope that the winds are on our side on a day which will surely go down in Rishworth School history: the day Rishworth went to space!
Ed, Year 12
04.02.16 Holly’s Report
Rishworth School is about to take ‘one small step’ on an amazing mission into Space.
The idea of this project is to send a computer up to Space (well, ‘near-Space’, as Mr Bell our teacher keeps reminding us!) under a weather balloon, gathering data, storing video and broadcasting live images back to Earth. This mission is to help children to become more aware of Space and science, and to get pupils to join in with things they never usually would.
It all started four months ago when we heard about the idea online, and decided Rishworth School could have a go at it. From this first thought came over 40 entries from students to join the Space Programme team, soon narrowed down to 20 though their ability to be creative with ideas and show what skills they could contribute to the project. Mr Bell and Mr McGarry, the team leaders, then put together a flight team, publicity team, engineering team and a documentary team. These teams are all combining new skills to make the project a success.
Only a few months into the programme, we have already made the module and transmission equipment, organised the flight paths and have a few launch date ‘windows’ approved.
Heathfield School pupils are also involved by running a competition to design a ‘pilot’ which will be sent up into space.
We are hoping this project is successful and know we will get some interesting information sent back from Space about altitude, pressure, direction, humidity, temperature and GPS. Fingers crossed it doesn’t land in the sea!
We are already planning for next year’s project and so far we have raised hundreds of pounds by running bake sales and competitions that the whole school can get involved with.
Our launch will hopefully take place in March at Cambridge University and the whole team will be going down to Churchill College for the day, working along side PhD students and hopefully learning lots of new things.
We are all extremely excited for the future and cannot wait to go down to Cambridge! You can also join in with all the excitement by following our Rishworth School Twitter and Facebook pages!

The European Space Agency is hiring a new class of astronauts. You could be one of them.
The European Space Agency is recruiting a new class of astronauts to travel to the International Space Station and beyond.
There are four to six vacancies for career astronauts and up to a further 20 for reserve astronauts. ESA is keen to hire a diverse set of people to be its newest ambassadors.
"Diversity is not a burden for us. Diversity is an asset for us," said Jan Wörner, Director General of ESA. "As an equal opportunity employer, it is very important to have diversity as it helps us to make things better. We would in particular encourage women to apply, because it is really interesting and supportive if we have mixed teams."
It's not only gender diversity that ESA is encouraging. There is one vacancy for a parastronaut: an astronaut who meets all the usual criteria, but has a physical disability that would ordinarily prevent them from applying.
Here's everything you need to know to apply.
What qualifications do I need to be an astronaut?
ESA ask that, as a minimum, applicants have a Master's degree in the natural sciences, medicine, engineering, mathematics or computer sciences. A degree as an experimental test pilot or test engineer is also accepted. A PhD an asset, but is not required.
As well as a degree, applicants should have at least three years of postgraduate professional experience in a relevant field, such as working in a laboratory or hospital, or doing field research.
What qualities and skills do I need?
Aspiring astronauts will need to demonstrate a range of skills and qualities. They should:
- Be able to remain calm under pressure
- Be willing to participate in life science experiments
- Be fluent in English - good knowledge of other languages is an asset
- Be highly motivated
- Be comfortable with long absences from home and long working hours and be flexible with working location
- Have excellent fine motor skills
- Be able to rapidly absorb complex information and make informed decisions
- Be passionate about sharing their knowledge to engage wide audiences
How do I apply?
Applications open the ESA careers website on 31 March 2021, and close on 28 May.
Applicants will be asked to submit a CV, motivation letter, and a copy of their passport. They will also be required to submit a European Part-MED, Class 2 (Private Pilot) medical certificate issued by an aviation medical examiner or aeromedical centre.
Those with a physical disability will instead need a medical certificate stating that, if not for their disability, they would comply with the medical requirements of the European Part-MED, Class 2 (Private Pilot) medical certificate.
The selection process has six stages, which will be completed in October 2022.
What will the astronauts do?
The first missions for this class of astronauts will be on board the International Space Station. But after that, there is the possibility of travelling to the Lunar Gateway orbiter and even the surface of the Moon. | aerospace |

The video is composed of 80 images that were taken by NASA’s Dawn spacecraft during its orbit of the dwarf planet a few months ago. The images were mostly culled from an altitude of about 8,400 miles (13,600 kilometers), with a few navigational shots taken from 3,200 miles (5,100 km) away.
We used a three-dimensional terrain model that we had produced based on the images acquired so far. They will become increasingly detailed as the mission progresses, with each additional orbit bringing us closer to the surface.Ralf Jaumann, of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Berlin
Okay, so what’s the big deal about dwarf planet Ceres?
Launched in 2007, the $466 million Dawn mission was sent to study the two largest objects, Vesta and Ceres, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists are eager to learn more about Ceres and Vesta because they were formed during the solar system’s period of planetary formation. Considered planetary building blocks, Ceres and Vesta are providing scientists clues into how the Earth itself was formed and about the early history of our solar system.
According to space.com, “dwarf planet Ceres is about 590 miles (950 km) wide, while Vesta measures about 330 miles (530 km) across.”
Dwarf planet Ceres also made headlines when Dawn discovered two mysterious spots nestled inside one of Ceres’ craters. Although several competing theories abound — from icy plumes, reflections from the to assumptions about docking alien spacecraft (umm…no) — scientists are still hoping to gather more data before they can draw any definitive conclusions. Fortunately, Dawn just entered into its second orbit of dwarf planet Ceres on June 3, where it will stay through the end of the month. Dawn is expected to end its mission sometime in June 2016. | aerospace |

Dragon has previously offered a fine model of a Titan IIIC rocket (Item No.56341). The Titan IIIC acted as a space booster primarily for US Air Force (USAF) missions. Now comes another 1/400 scale variation of the Titan family of expendable rockets, a Titan IIIC carrying a Manned Orbital Laboratory (MOL) payload The MOL was a space station designed to perform military reconnaissance tasks for the USA. The MOL program was announced in 1963, and crews would return from the space station via a Gemini 2 spacecraft. Only one launch was completed in the MOL program, before the program was axed in December 1969. On November 3 1966, a Titan IIIC blasted off from Cape Canaveral with a MOL mockup built from a Titan II propellant tank. The MOL, entered orbit and released three satellites, while the Gemini 2 reentry vehicle separated and performed a 33-minute suborbital test flight. This was actually Gemini 2’s second flight after a first one occurred in 1965.
Dragon Wings has a 1/400 scale model of this Titan IIIC from the MOL program. Its appearance is quite distinct from earlier Space Collection models of the Titan IIIC and IIIE, and the model boasts new toolings for the main rocket body and the MOL mock-up. The rocket is highly accurate and is fully detailed, including the two huge strap-on solid boosters. The model is pre-painted and carries the correct series of USAF markings. Furthermore, the scale model comes with its own launch pad, thus creating an instant diorama. | aerospace |

The successful landing of United States spacecraft Apollo 11’s Lunar Module Eagle on the Moon was watched by more than half a billion people in 1969. Humanity collectively held its breath as astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon’s surface, proclaiming, “That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind”. The pulse of humanity rose as Apollo 11 was launched on 16 July 1969. An estimated 600 million people across the world watched on TV – thanks in part to Australia’s CSIRO Parkes radio telescope and NASA’s Honeysuckle Creek tracking station near Canberra – as it made its successful flight to the Moon.
The 1969 achievement of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, paved the way for continued development of advanced technology to explore Earth, the Moon, other planets and the distant reaches of space.

Hamad Obaid Al-Mansoori, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Space Center Mohammed bin Rashid, said: “Our cooperation with the Medical and Biological Research Institute and NASA is in line with our ongoing contributions to the global space sector, through our mutual efforts. collaborative relationships, which makes us proud of our participation.In the “Sirius-21” project, in turn, we wish the crew all the best, and with this project we look forward to gaining unique insights and gaining a rich amount of important data that will benefit to current and future generations of scientists and engineers, to help them explore space in the long run. term. “
Youssef Hamad Al Shaibani, Director General of the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center, said: “Through the Emirates Space Simulation Project, we can improve our capabilities to better levels as a country that has entered the International Space Club with merit. This is our first mission. , as the Emirati astronaut will live and work completely independently in the isolated unit to be his home for 8 months.We see in this project another milestone in the scientific cooperation between the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center on the one hand and the Russian Medical and Biological Research Institute The Academy of Sciences and the US Space Agency (NASA), on the other hand, are also an expression of the excellent relations that exist between the three parties. exploration of other planets. “
During the simulation project, the astronauts will conduct more than 70 experiments during the mission, and there will be five participations presented by four universities in the UAE, addressing the fields of physiology, psychology and biology that were selected after consultation with program partners. in Russia.
Shamma Al-Mutawa of the University of Medicine and Health Sciences Mohammed Bin Rashid will support a study on the effects of prolonged exposure to a simulated space environment on cardiovascular variability and cardiac interactions, as one of the research topics selected in the project.
The research topic chosen by Cargo University offers a study to determine the effects of confinement stress and isolation on the circulatory and skeletal muscle function of crew members, during the task of measuring clinical, genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic indicators.
Other selected topics for the program include research by the American University of Burden on stress in isolation and a narrow environment, while the University of the United Arab Emirates has proposed two research topics, one of which addresses “Psychological Challenges of Isolation During Manned Space Travel: The Role of Motivational Dynamics, ”and the second relates to exercises. Intermittent and intense as a countermeasure to prevent osteoporosis or loss of bone density and insulin resistance in the space environment.
Crew members are subjected to a completely isolated environment, and are given certain tasks that they must perform, without any contact with the outside world. Previously performed tasks within the series include the “Sirius-17” program in 2017, which lasted 17 days, and the “Sirius-19” program, which was completed in 2019 and lasted 120 days. The current “Sirius-2021” represents the third phase of the “Sirius” project, which is a 240-day isolated experiment that will include simulations of the main features of a future interplanetary mission. The experiment includes leaving Earth’s orbit, embarking on a hypothetical planet, with a subsequent orbital flight to find a landing site, then landing an expeditionary unit to do scientific research, staying in orbit to make transport ship receptions, and remotely controlling a robot. vehicles to build a base before Back to earth again.
The UAE’s participation in the “Sirius” program will be very important, and it will play a key role in developing Emirati capabilities and contributing to the development of the “Mars 2117 Program”, which aims to establish human settlements on the Red Planet in the year 2117. This program is funded by the Information and Communication Technology Fund of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and the Digital Government.

There is a reason that birds and flying bugs are the size that they are today. Oxygen content in the air can tweak it, but in the same envrionment, there are natural physical "sweet spots" for flying animals. A scale model of a robin a hundred feet tall can't fly. In the same way, a movie giant probably wouldn't be able to walk.
The same principals apply to airplanes and the reverse is also true. If you take an airplane design and make a scale model much smaller than the original, it can do amazing things.
The feats of the radio controlled airplane in the link illustrate this clearly. It does things that would be absolutely impossible for comparable full sized airplane to do. For example, the fixed wing RC plane makes a nearly verticle takeoff without an extra set of thrusters or a tilt wing. It can because of its small scale.

Public engagement event organised by the Social Dimensions of Outer Space research network at the Bayes Centre.
50 years ago, Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon. Since, our fascination with sending people into space has not stopped and we are now contemplating sending people to Mars. But as we are doing so, looking back at the political, technological and social achievements and mistakes made during this enterprise can help us make our future explorations to Mars an even bigger success for all humanity.
The talks contained in this seminar will examine the representations of the Moon in the literary imagination to help us unpack our fascination with the Moon. The talks will also explain the technology and the science which have allowed mankind to land on the Moon and to return safely home, the history and politics of the space race which have allowed man to take off into space, and the legal framework that has caused international division but could unite us in our space exploration. The talks will also reflect on how Scotland could provide a model for this more inclusive exploration. | aerospace |

Airbus has delivered the first A321neo aircraft assembled at its Final Assembly Line Asia (FAL Tianjin) to China’s Juneyao Air in Tianjin, China.
The aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney GTF engines and features 207 comfortable seats, 8 in Business and 199 in Economy class. Its delivery flight is to use a ten percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel blend in support of the green aviation strategy in China.
“Since we announced the commissioning of the first A321 aircraft at FAL Tianjin last November, the relevant final assembly activities and tests went on smoothly, showcasing the maturity of FAL Tianjin to quickly adapt to new products,” said George Xu, Airbus Executive Vice President, and Airbus China CEO.
“The successful delivery of the first A321 aircraft enables Airbus to honour the popularity of the aircraft for the China market and beyond – and the consistent trust and support from our customers.”
Airbus continues to expand and enhance its comprehensive cooperation with China’s aviation industry, underlining its long-term commitment to China to ensure customer proximity while supporting the global commercial aircraft production ramp-up.”
Airbus has four A320 Family final assembly facilities around the world: Hamburg, Germany; Toulouse, France; Tianjin, China; and Mobile, United States.
With the conversion of the Tianjin facility last year, and with the newest facility about to complete its transformation in Toulouse, the global industrial system will be fully A321-capable, creating flexibility and agility to meet Airbus’ ramp-up objectives and the rising market success of the A321 model.
Inaugurated in 2008, the FAL in Tianjin was the first Airbus commercial aircraft assembly line outside Europe. In the same year, the first aircraft sections arrived on site. Since its first A320 delivery in 2009, Airbus’ FAL in Tianjin has delivered more than 600 aircraft over its 14 years in operation.
The A321neo is the longest-fuselage member of Airbus’ best-selling, single-aisle A320 Family, comfortably seating as many as 244 passengers, with the longest range reaching 4,700nm/8,700km.
By the end of January 2023, the A320neo Family had received over 8,600 firm orders from more than 130 customers worldwide.Google+ | aerospace |

For the Engineering Playground RBF Team with Pipistrel have prepared 3D printed models of aircrafts that allow to clearly understand how we are using this concept within Aeronautical optimization studies conducted in the framework of the EU ProjectRBF4AERO address both the aircraft and both the engine.
The aerodynamic improvements achievable with small reshaping of surfaces are demonstrated showing how an improved design of the junction between the fuselage and the wing of the glider Taurus can improve the efficiency in a specific (and critical) flight condition.
Shape optimization can make an important difference on the performance of the engine. In the example shown at Engineering Playground the optimized shape of the blade of the propeller of the Alpha Electro is compared with the original one. The high efficiency guarantees an hour of flight using power coming from the battery pack.
New pieces are going to be added to the exhibition Engineering Playground.

Michael S. Trubilla, a Pennsylvania native, filed a lawsuit against Continental Motors and several other defendants over the July 24, 2016, crash that killed Trubilla’s namesake and son, Michael, and a flight instructor, 61-year-old Ron Panting of Papillion.
The younger Trubilla, an Air Force captain stationed at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue from May 2013 until his death, had been completing his certification to become a civilian pilot. He was flying with the LeMay Aero Club, an Offutt-based flying club that owned the nonmilitary twin-engine plane.
The defendants have yet to file a response in court over the lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit:
About 2:45 p.m. July 24, 2016, Trubilla and Panting had taken off from the Millard Airport. About 3 p.m., a witness, who is a certified pilot, heard one of the engines reduce in power and begin to sputter west of Omaha.
He next heard the engines increase in power followed by the engines going quiet, as if idling or stalled.
The man walked out to look for the airplane and saw it in a spin, as it descended toward the ground. The nose of the Baron Beechcraft 95-B55 struck a soybean field near Leshara, Nebraska, and the plane burst into flames.
The lawsuit, filed by Omaha attorneys John Kinney and Jill Mason, alleges that the twin-engine plane “has had a dangerous propensity to enter an unrecoverable spin.” The engines have “a history of failures,” the lawsuit says.
“There was nothing that Trubilla could have done to recover the aircraft,” the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit named Teledyne Industries. However, a Chinese-based company, AVIC, purchased the plane engine division from Teledyne in 2011. Teledyne is no longer involved in the manufacture of the small-plane engines, a spokesman said.
The engines have been the subject of a number of lawsuits following small-plane crashes.
Trubilla, who flew Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance jets to far corners of the world, grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, one of four sons of an Air Force veteran.
He was selected for an appointment to the Air Force Academy, where he made a huge impact with a research project that salvaged a $50 million investment by creating a fuel system to propel certain types of small satellites. A professor called it the best research he had seen a cadet do.
Trubilla also had volunteered on a mission trip to Haiti, where he rocked babies and cared for sick children. And friends and family say he enjoyed taking part in the Omaha Film Festival. | aerospace |

Earlier this month, Turkey delivered a consignment of Bayraktar TB2s to Togo, which is fighting the infiltration of jihadist fighters moving south from Burkina Faso.
Togo plans to use Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2s to monitor its northern part, and to support its fighting forces.
The sale came almost immediately after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with the Togolese President and others in the Togolese capital Lome in October 2021 to discuss the safety situation and what can be done to improve it.
Last month, eight soldiers were killed in an attack, claimed by the Group for the Support of Islam and Muslims (GSIM), the main terrorism alliance in the Sahel, linked to Al-Qaeda.
On July 1st, 2022 open-source flight information tracked a TB2 drone flight in FlightRadar24. The call sign of the tracked aircraft TB2T297, the speed and altitude indicate that the drone was of Turkish production.
The drone was operating in southern Burkina Faso and northern Togo, which indicates that it is likely a Togolese-owned drone.
Recent satellite imagery reveals that Togolese Air has expanded the runway and apron of Niamtougou airbase, as well as constructed a new larger hanger.
The Togolese air force says the airbase is used for air defence, Aerial Reconnaissance, Fire Support and Search and Rescue.
Before Togo, Niger reportedly received in May 2022 half a dozen Bayraktar TB2s for its military operations against insurgent groups in the Sahel region south of the Sahara Desert, and around Lake Chad.
Other African customers have Djibouti, Libya, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Tunisia, while Angola has also expressed interest. | aerospace |

The company TECNALIA has developed the first autopilot air taxi prototype in Spain. The air taxi is provided with 4 drones and 16 engines designed to move a passenger on short trips across the city.
This model is designed in order to fly lower over the sky of some cities and become a transport mean within urban areas. This air taxi consists of a capsule-shaped aerodynamic cabin with a back door and an upper window.
The cabin is 1.8 meters by 2 meters long and it’s formed by four drones placed on the top and bottom of the ship and constituted by four engines for each that allow its movement.
This prototype has been created in order to do urban trips of a maximum of 15 kilometres in about 15 minutes at 90 kilometres per hour, although it could reach speeds of up to 190 and at a height of 100 to 300 meters.
In this way, the transportation needs of the urban centre of 85% of all the cities in the world would be covered. Moreover, this model is used for the transfer of a person (but it can also reach up to 4 people) or loads of up to 150 kilograms.
According to the designers, the drones move independently but in coordination with each other, which works out well for the stability, efficiency and control of the cabin thanks to an advanced control system.
One of the advantages of this new prototype is that the cabin can maintain its own orientation regardless of speed. From the dynamic point of view, this improves the flight experience and makes it similar to that one of a car or a bus.
The final product includes positioning and communication technologies alike the rest of self-piloted vehicles. In addition, it has landing and take-off capabilities in limited spaces and it is prepared to bear unfavourable environmental conditions.
Thus, it is intended to maximize the integration of the aircraft at street level so that it is accessible from the back. This is the first air taxi prototype developed in Spain, and the third in Europe, and it has been presented this Monday in San Sebastián by the Basque technological centre Tecnalia.
One of the possible exploitation means for this type of vehicles is to use it as a shared service. The company affirms that in order to develop and market the final product as a competitive product, it should cost from 30,000 to 50,000 euros and provide service with prices per route of about 30 or 40 euros.
These type of projects intend to consolidate within the market in 5 years, however, the companies are still working with several authorities involved in making the necessary legislative changes to make this possible and consolidate the safety of this type of autonomous vehicles.

Friedrichshafen, Germany – With more than 670 international exhibitors from 35 countries, AERO 2023 (April 19 - 22, 2023) has a very good turnout of industry leaders from the General Aviation sector and is on a good course. Once again, a wide-ranging technical conference program will also accompany the 29th edition of the trade show at Lake Constance, which will cover an area of 95,000 square meters in eleven exhibition halls, two foyers plus a static display.
The aviation industry traditionally gathers at Lake Constance for AERO Friedrichshafen, visitors can experience the entire spectrum of General Aviation, manufacturers of piston aircraft, ultralights and LSA aircraft are represented at the trade show as well as manufacturers of helicopters and Business Jets. Suppliers who make avionics, engines, rescue systems and other accessories have confirmed their attendance in large numbers. Unmanned aviation in the form of drones will also be prominently represented from April 19 - 21 with its own exhibition area "AERO Drones" in exhibition hall A2.
The importance of the trade show for General Aviation as a whole is underscored by the high level of commitment from key OEM’s, service providers and organizations from around the world. Tobias Bretzel, AERO show director at trade show organizer fairnamic GmbH, says: "Aviation is currently in a phase of upheaval, determined by sustainable aviation and a skill shortage. We are addressing the issue of sustainability in a variety of ways: From last year's 'AERO Sustainable Aviation Trail' to a packed E-Flight Expo in Hall A7 and our new AERO Hydrogen Summit (April 21), where hydrogen as a propulsion technology will be presented and discussed. For the first time, the AERO Career Day will focus on the topic of recruiting young talent and personnel with its own format on April 21.“
Innovation is firmly anchored in the genes of the AERO. For twelve years now, for example, there has been the e-flight-expo as a separate trade show focus, where manufacturers and providers of aircraft and services related to electric flight present their innovations to visitors and inform them about the possibilities of this type of propulsion. The trade show organizers again expect an appealing number of innovations from all sectors.
The transformation of aviation towards greater sustainability is also an integral part of the AERO Conferences, which will once again feature an extensive program. In addition to overarching conferences on topics such as the reorganization of the airspace structure in Germany, hydrogen as an aviation fuel, drones in BOS use and business aviation, there will also be presentations on topics related to practical flying and product presentations. Aviation offers interested parties a large number of very different professions and career opportunities and fears a shortage of skilled workers in the near future.
At AERO 2023, a wide range of companies will be providing information about career opportunities for newcomers and already qualified personnel. At the AERO Career Day on the gallery in the West Foyer, interested parties can network directly with around 30 companies and organizations to initiate their professional future in aviation.

386th Air Expeditionary Wing Public Affairs
4/10/2012 - SOUTHWEST ASIA -- The 5th Expeditionary Air Mobility Squadron is considered by its Airmen to be a unique unit in different locations in Southwest Asia conducting a distinctive mission.
Military and civilian personnel in the 5th EAMS power a diverse entity who support cargo and personnel movement around the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, said Lt. Col. Colin Sindel, 5th EAMS commander.
"Our mission is to safely and effectively provide command and control, execute aerial port operations, and perform aircraft maintenance for all air mobility operational requirements supporting the defense transportation system in the AOR," said Sindel, a Richmond, Texas, native. "5th EAMS is a tenant unit, an Air Mobility Command asset, working alongside our U.S. Air Forces Central brethren here in the AOR to make the mission happen."
Tenant or not, there are two areas of the 5th EAMS's mission that closely connect with the mission of the 386th Air Expeditionary Wing: supporting air expeditionary force deployers on rotators to and from homestations around the world, and sustaining the C-17 Globemaster III fleet stationed here, as well as those transitioning into and out of Afghanistan on "R & R" (rest and relaxation) leave.
Hello and goodbye
The 5th EAMS supports Airmen, Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and civilian personnel deploying into locations throughout the AOR coming from hubs in the U.S. Additionally, the unit supports personnel returning home at the end their tour.
"Working with CAV International (contract aerial porters), we're the first people you see when you arrive in the AOR, and we're the ones who say the last goodbyes when you head home," said Staff Sgt. Tracy Frink, 5th EAMS contracting office representative. "We say a lot of 'hellos' and 'goodbyes' in one night. But a lot of people probably don't remember us, because they're exhausted when they get here and they're already thinking of home when they leave."
Personnel with CAV and the 5th EAMS have "caught" thousands of flights, transported tens of thousands passengers and tons of cargo through their passenger terminals since operations started 12 years ago, said Master Sgt. Sollars, 5th EAMS contracting office representative.
"I was here during operations in 2000," said Sollars, a self-identified military "brat" who calls both Washington D.C. and Great Falls, Mont., home. "You had seven people doing the aerial port mission. Today, it's grown and is contracted out with the 5th EAMS having oversight; now we have more people able to support the same mission. We work will all branches of the military, and not only catch the rotators, we assist with emergency leave travel, R & R travel and those one-shot travel requests that sometimes crop up."
To put those numbers into perspective, the 5th EAMS on average now gets approximately 30,000 to 35,000 passengers every month, with about 800 tons of cargo. If those numbers stayed relatively stable throughout 12 years, then there would have been more than 4,320,000 passengers and 115,200 tons of cargo going through the 5th EAMS terminals. These numbers don't include the transition of forces from Iraq in 2011, where 5th EAMS personnel moved almost 43,000 passengers and 10,588 tons of cargo before Christmas.
"It almost gives you a retroactive hernia if you think about it too hard," said Frink, a Carlsbad, N.M., native who, like Sollars, is permanently attached to the 5th EAMS. "After a while those numbers definitely start to add up! We have a great group of people out here, and every branch of service has a unique way of looking at things - and some of those ways might be something you have never thought of, and may in fact work better. We also have great contractors who are very knowledgeable, as many of them are retired military members themselves.
"We move the AOR one plane at a time," Frink said.
Globemasters and AOR masters
From two-legged or four-legged passengers, things that fly and things that go "boom," the C-17 is one of the biggest workhorses when it comes to transporting cargo and passengers to Afghanistan and other locations throughout the AOR. And the group responsible for keeping those aircraft flying is about 40 people in the 5th EAMS, located right next to their brothers and sisters of flight in the 386th Expeditionary Operations Group.
"These aircraft can carry just about anything; they've carried helicopters, tractor-trailers, military working dog teams and hundreds of people - and we're the ones who make sure these planes can take the sheer amount of wear and tear they undergo in theater," said Master Sgt. Sean Schesser, 5th EAMS production superintendent. "We're responsible for maintenance, refueling, inspections and scheduling the tails. We always work closely with the crews, and make sure they and their aircraft have what's needed for the mission."
With an average 95 percent mission capable rate, the Airmen of the 5th EAMS take "by-the-book" as their motto to make sure every mission is flown safely and effectively.
"We call in each step from refuels, crew show to final inspections - everything until it's wheels up - to make sure we get each step right," said Schesser, a Gouverneur, N.Y., native deployed from 860th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, Travis Air Force Base, Calif. "If something's not going right, you make the best decision you can using your tech orders and guidance. For every red mark on the inspection sheet, we ask ourselves: what does the MESL (mission essential systems list) say? When it comes to missions and marks, you have to go by the book. Sometimes that means you have to scrub the mission, or try a tail swap to get the planes out in their window."
Sometimes that window can be also in the middle of a dust storm or rain. As long as there are no lightening warnings, the missions occur in almost every kind of weather.
"There are days where you can't see 10 feet in front of you, but you prep the jets just in case the weather clears up and your window comes open," said Senior Airman Jordan Lavallee, 5th EAMS maintainer. "It's a lot of work getting a C-17 ready to go, and you have to make sure you do everything right."
There is also the added benefit of working with the same Airmen from the units here, which can be fun and help keep things smooth, said Lavallee, a Springfield, Mo., deployed from the 60th Maintenance Squadron at Travis.
"We see the same aircrews on these aircraft, and we have a great relationship with the [386th AEW] units because we know each other and we all want to get that plane up and out," he said. "We work together to get the mission done quickly, safely and smartly. If there are issues, we all work together to get them fixed because that's our mission."
Getting the mission done: for the members of the 5th EAMS, that is the bottom line. After all, they help move the AOR -- one plane at a time. | aerospace |

The 55 pounds (25 kilograms) CAPSTONE launched into Earth orbit aboard a Rocket Lab Electron Booster on Monday (June 28). CAPSTONE remains in orbit, linked to Rocket Labs photon spaceship bus, but he is getting further and further away from his home planet.
“The moon just got a little closer! We successfully fired Photon’s HyperCurie engine a sixth time, raising the peak of #CAPSTONE to 69,680 km [43,300 miles]. Since we combined 2 burns to 1 for this maneuver, there is only one final burn left to put CAPSTONE on a lunar ballistic transfer to the moon,” a Rocket Lab representative said said this morning via Twitter (opens in new tab) (July 1). (Apogee is the farthest point in a satellite’s elliptical orbit.)
Related: Why NASA’s tiny CAPSTONE probe is taking so long to reach the moon
This final burn that the photonKEYSTONE Duo at 24,500 mph (39,400 km/h), could occur as early as Monday (July 4), Rocket Lab said Another tweet today (opens in new tab). Within 20 minutes of combustion, Photon CAPSTONE will deploy, and the microwave-oven-sized cubesat will make its own way to the moon.
This journey will be long and circuitous as CAPSTONE travels up to 810,000 miles (1.3 million km) from Earth before being pulled back by the Earth-Moon system’s gravity. Mission planners chose this indirect route because it’s very fuel efficient and they need efficiency after launch aboard the 59-foot (18-meter) Electron, which is designed to launch small satellites into Earth orbit.
Finally, on November 13, the spacecraft will enter near-straight line halo orbit (NRHO). the moona highly elliptical path that will take it as close as 1,600 km to the lunar surface and as far as 70,000 km (43,500 miles) on its narrowest path.
Never before has a spacecraft manned an NRHO on the moon, and that’s why CAPSTONE flies there. NASA plans to build the Gateway space station, a key element of the agency Artemis program of lunar exploration into an NRHO and uses CAPSTONE to test orbital stability.
CAPSTONE will also conduct some navigation and communications tests during its time on the moon. The latter tests are carried out in cooperation with NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiterswhich has been studying the moon up close since 2009.
CAPSTONE (short for Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment) is a NASA mission, but the agency isn’t in charge of day-to-day operations. Colorado-based Advanced Space is operating the mission after winning a $20 million NASA contract to do the work in 2019.

The planes, classed as civilian and believed to be mostly US, sought permission to fly over the country, stop or refuel at Shannon but were denied on advice from government officials.
The Department of Transport said a total of 889 planes carrying guns and weapons applied to use Irish airports or airspace.
Some 808 permits were granted with the vast majority landing in Shannon while another 31 applications were cancelled.
No information has been revealed about the reasons why the 50 military contracted planes were denied access to Ireland or what exact type of munitions were believed to have been on board.
In 2015 the Department of Transport granted 584 exemptions for aircraft to land at Shannon with guns on board compared to 1,495 in 2007. There were 19 refusals.
The figures were released after anti-war group ShannonWatch said it had counted at least 730 US military flights coming through Shannon Airport last year - more than two planes every day owned by or operated on behalf of the US Air Force, Marines or Navy.
The figure is the highest number recorded by the group since it began daily monitoring in 2008.
Ed Horgan, spokesman for the campaign and a former Irish Army officer and United Nations elections' inspector, said: "These are the numbers recorded by ShannonWatch but they may not reflect the total numbers coming through.
"And the numbers surprised me."
More than 400 of the flights recorded by ShannonWatch were operated directly by the US Air Force, Navy or Marines. The rest were contracted troop carriers on civilian planes, some of which would be among the 889 planes granted exemptions to carry arms such as rifles without ammunition.
Among the planes recorded last year were 100 C-130s, also known as Hercules transporters, 15 four engine C17 Globemaster or C5 Galaxy transporters and 71 executive jets.
Mr Horgan said Ireland's approach to the use of airspace and airports as a neutral country should be compared with the attitude of Switzerland and Austria, two countries which routinely refuse US military access.
ShannonWatch last week called on Transport Minister Shane Ross to explain the presence of a plane operated on behalf of the US military that had stopped in Shannon for less than two hours before flying on to a Nato airbase in Turkey.
The Department of Foreign Affairs defended granting access to Irish air space and airports to the US military.
It insisted that the troops on board and the planes must be unarmed, with no cargo of arms, ammunition or explosives, not engage in intelligence gathering and not form part of military exercises or operations.
"Ireland remains strictly neutral and objective in applying the same strict conditions to the use of our airport by military aircraft belonging to all UN member states," a spokesman said. | aerospace |

These days, they are also used here on Earth for everything from bicycle chains to the spark plugs in NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon’s car.
Krytox® oils and greases work at high and low temperature extremes to keep engine parts running. They are nonflammable, chemically inert and safe to use in all areas of oxygen service. That makes them work well whether traveling on land or through outer space.
Among other DuPont products that have gone up in space are Pyralux® flexible circuit materials, Riston® dry film photoresists and ImageMaster™ phototooling films. They were all used in flexible circuits that help cameras beam clear, high-resolution signals back to Earth.
And Kevlar® fiber, more commonly known for its protection of law enforcement and military personnel, was used to make a parachute included on the Galileo probe to Jupiter. A “blanket” made of Kevlar® fiber was used to wrap inner walls at the International Space Station to protect it from micrometeorites.

Roughly a dozen are enrolled in the expanding course. In it, instructors say people can learn the fundamental, and legal, aspects of using unmanned aerial systems (UAS’s).
“In marketing, drones have been immensely useful in the promotion of travel, or real estate, and all kinds of other crazy applications of that technology. I saw it as an essential component that would be great to offer here, at this campus.”
Some more applications, that administrators say can be used with drones for other industries, include lidar and infrared sensors for rescue missions and agriculture. Video sensors, Glenn says, would be used for physical measurements.
“Marketing agencies. Something that they’re looking for now is somebody that can fly drones, to create content for websites, social media, anything like that.”
Sendek and Glenn say that this course will ultimately prepare students, to pass an FAA required exam, to use drones commercially. Having taken it myself, it is hard and will further reinforce your knowledge of safety, in the skies. | aerospace |

Though Lilium says the intellectual 5-seat electrical can hover 186 miles in an hour, its first flight, like most such tests, used to be modest. Operated by a long way away administration, it lifted off, hovered a pair of yards above the bottom, and landed. The modest first day out that’s general for any sleek airplane form. This adopted months of intensive ground attempting out.
Lilium has been aloof since sowing a subscale, two-seat prototype two years ago, nonetheless it completely has indubitably one of the extra provocative—and contested—technological approaches in this burgeoning discipline. The “Lilium Jet” uses 36 electrical-powered ducted fans. Interior each, a small rotor ingests air from the front and pushes it out of the rear at greater speeds. They’re no longer technically jet engines (so the airplane isn’t a “jet”). The dearth of spinning blades improves efficiency, reduces noise, and eliminates the possibility of turning passing birds into gash suey.
The motors are organized in two rows of six on both side of the nostril—embedded in a forward assembly is named a canard—and two rows of 12 within the rear hover. The airplane would pitch the fan assemblies vertically for takeoff, then transition them 90 levels for horizontal flight, with the aerodynamic hover and fuselage offering many of the bewitch at cruising speed. In this configuration, the airplane would most efficient need about 10 p.c of primarily the most thrust of the motors to shield forward flight, a Lilium spokesperson says. Panoramic home windows and gull-hover doors function for a flying expertise that bears small resemblance to industrial aviation.
The Lilium does away with the sort of instruments that old model planes exhaust to manipulate their movement, including the vertical stabilizer, ailerons, or elevator. As an replacement, it relies on a flight-administration pc that can perspective the motors in assorted instructions. The forward motors sort out pitching the nostril up and down. These on the hover tackle roll actions. The airplane rotates on its axis in a flit by assorted the speed of rotors, fair appropriate as person quadcopter drones attain.
Though the work of flight attempting out and certification remains—no easy feat—Lilium cofounder and CEO Daniel Wiegand goals to manufacture an on-query air taxi carrier in precisely appropriate a pair of years, with a network of open and landing pads across a pair of cities to initiate, and an even bigger operational carrier by 2025. To initiate, folk will serve as pilots, nonetheless the company goals to drop them ASAP. Lilium says its self reliant expertise is quite ready and it’s fair appropriate anticipating regulators to permit them to switch robo. When that can occur is laborious to predict and may maybe well well maybe differ by build, nonetheless analysts notify Lilium will need to accumulate three to 5 years to function optimistic the tech is as ready as it says.
As for the sleek airplane itself, Lilium has dropped the off-the-shelf motors that powered its outmoded prototype in opt on of ones it designed. It’s manufactured from aerospace-grade supplies, pretty than a form of hand-built parts most ceaselessly customary from prototyping methods. Wiegand says the switch from two seats within the prototype to 5 will relieve the fledgling device attain efficiencies and economies of scale by offering transport to extra passengers with each flight. The corporate is cagey with technical specs, nonetheless it completely says the battery is set the size of what you’d bag in an electrical automobile.
“In no longer up to two years we accumulate been ready to function, manufacture, and efficiently hover an airplane that can serve as our template for mass manufacturing,” Wiegand says.
Skeptics, even though, accumulate argued that Lilium’s resolution to combine propulsion and administration in a single mechanism compromises the flexibility of both to operate successfully. “We acquire no longer imagine that to be the case,” an organization spokesperson talked about in an electronic mail, arguing that having 36 independently managed engines offers finer administration and improved redundancy. The airplane also uses a triple-redundant flight-administration pc and 12 independent flaps. Its shape enables for gliding within the event of a full vitality failure, and it would lift a ballistic parachute fair appropriate in case.
Nonetheless amongst the an even selection of challenges facing the 200-plus firms within the hunt for aeromobility, noise may maybe well well maybe be as high a hurdle as economics or safety. Vertical-bewitch airplane accumulate to switch quite a pair of air to maneuver at low speed and flit, and which method making a serious racket—especially within the event you acquire a bunch in a single urban home. Lilium says its ducted fans no longer most efficient soak up and dampen the customary noise of the airplane, they also decrease the further high-pitched assert that comes from the usage of smaller blades. Total, the company says, the function will permit the airplane to “mix into the background of a customary urban scene.”
With the first flight now a reminiscence, Lilium will bustle its airplane by method of extra and further advanced maneuvers, including the transition between vertical and horizontal flight, runs between cities, in inclement weather, and with a form of levels of automation. If all goes successfully, passengers will expertise the flights in trials successfully sooner than the 2025 target for a fully operational carrier.

Humphries Jonhson Space Center, Houston February 14, 1991 (Phone: 703/483-5111) RELEASE: 91-26 NASA INVENTOR OF THE YEAR ANNOUNCED Johnson Space Center's Leo Monford, NASA's Inventor of the Year, is determined to make the Space Shuttle's robot arm even more useful than it is, and his inventions could revolutionize orbital docking and robotics use. The invention that earned him the award is a "Docking Alignment System, Monford calls it the Targeting and Reflective Alignment Concept, or TRAC. By itself, the new precision alignment system is a significant improvement. But used in concert with another of Monford's inventions, a Magnetic End Effector, it could change the shape of future robot arms, satellites and space stations. Monford, who works in the New Initiatives Office's Space Servicing Systems Project Office, is the first JSC employee to receive the Inventor of the Year award since its inception in 1980. The award will be presented March 28 at a NASA Headquarters ceremony, according to NASA General Counsel Edward Frankle, who announced Monford's selection Feb. 5. "My job is to come up with innovative thoughts and technologies and stimulate others into producing those products," Monford said. "I honestly can't think of an award I would desire more than this one." TRAC utilizes a television camera mounted inside the arm's
end effector and a monitor on the Shuttle's aft flight deck, both with alignment marks and a flat, mirrored target marked with cross hairs on the target object. It has been tested extensively at the manipulator development facility and is able to routinely insert square pegs into square holes with only 0.03 of an inch clearance. - more -2Here's how it works. An astronaut operating the remote manipulator system from the aft flight deck moves the arm to within range of the fixed-focus television camera inside the arm. The operator makes translational corrections with the arm until the cross hairs on the target and the monitor line up. Then, the operator uses rotational controls until the camera is able to see its own image. Since the camera can see only directly in front of itself, it will not see its own image until the end effector and the target are perpendicular to each other. When the camera can see itself and the cross hairs are lined up, alignment is complete. "It's like looking through a rifle scope," Monford said. "Once you understand the idea of aligning the cross hairs, it just comes naturally to you." The existing alignment system uses a target with a protruding post. The main advantage of Monford's system is that the target is flat. Many proposed space operations for the Shuttle's arm or a space station arm involve stacking and unstacking objects for construction purposes. "When you try to make things stack up, a protruding target gets in the way," Monford said. The beautiful thing about the TRAC system, he added, is that it works perfectly with the operator's hand controllers, which maneuver the arm through separate rotational and translational controls. The first practical application of TRAC will be on STS-37, as a part of Development Test Objective 1205, "TRAC Application for RMS Alignment/Deflection Measurements." TRAC will be used to provide precise data on the amount of "play" in the remote
manipulator system when a space walking astronaut applies force to the oustretched arm. The targeting system will gather data that would be difficult or impossible to gather otherwise. Monford said researchers at Texas A&M, his alma mater, are working on automating TRAC. Instead of cross hairs, the automat system uses corner cubes on the target that reflect light back only in the direction of its origin, similar to bicycle reflectors and a light-emitting diode on the camera lens. A computer lines up the flood-lit corner cubes to determine when the arm is perpendicular to its target. When the camera can see the reflection of the LED on its lens, the computer will know the alignment is exact. "It's really a generic concept. It has very broad application," he said, explaining that it can provide a precise reference point for intelligent robots that need to perform exacting tasks on three-dimensional surfaces. Put the TRAC system together with Monford's Magnetic End Effector, patent pending, and the possibilities grow. - more -3The MEE is a potential replacement for the Standard End Effector, which grapples payloads through electro-mechanical means, using cables to snare a protruding grapple fixture. The MEE, with no moving parts, uses electro-magnetic force to "clomp onto" a plate made of ferrous metal attached to the payload. The metal plate shares the advantage of flatness with the alignment target, and the MEE's centerline camera would allow the docking plate to double as the target plate for the TRAC system. Monford's smaller, lighter MEE is two-fault tolerant both in grappling and releasing payloads and requires no regularly scheduled maintenance or pyrotechnic safety release devices. Proposed MEEs would give different sized arms the capability to grapple common target plates, add the ability to transfer both power and data to payloads and provide a method of attaching a variety of power tools that could help alleviate the need for some extravehicular activity space walks by astronauts. "I think in the space station era, this type of an end effector will be
baselined," Monford said. The TRAC, MEE, a JPL Force Torque Sensor that provides a representation of forces and moment on the arm, and a Carrier Latch Assembly that uses electromagnetic force to help hold satellites in the payload bay, are scheduled to fly as part of the Dexterous End Effector Flight Demonstration on STS-58. "I'm looking forward to some other exciting flight experiments that would leapfrog from this one." - end Photos to illustrate this story are available to media representatives by calling the JSC Photo Library at 713/483-8603.

Krisztián Sárneczky spotted the small asteroid at Konkoly Observatory's Piszkéstető Station in Budapest with a 2-foot (0.6-meter) telescope and the information was passed along to the European Space Agency, hours before it fell into the atmosphere around 10 p.m. EST Feb. 12 (0300 GMT Feb. 13).
"I discovered this small body during a routine NEO [near Earth object] hunt," Sárneczky told Space.com senior writer Tereza Pultarova in an e-mail. "It was immediately obvious that it was an NEO, but it wasn't particularly fast across the sky, as it was heading right towards us, and it was faint," Sárneczky added.
It's not the first time Sárneczky has given a heads-up for a dramatic fireball event, as the professional asteroid hunter did the same thing in March 2022. "At the time I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime event," he said. "I was wrong."

By coincidence, the fireball fell almost exactly 10 years after a six-story space rock unexpectedly exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia on Feb. 15, 2013, causing minor injuries and damage. Space agencies around the world reaffirmed their commitment to tracking such objects at the time, with NASA opening a Planetary Defense Coordination Office in the wake of the event.
Most fireballs are completely harmless, however, and it is rare for any fragments to make it to the ground. NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and numerous other entities nevertheless keep a 24/7 watch on the sky for any asteroids coming near the Earth's orbit. Nothing critically threatening to our planet has been found in decades of searching, but the watch continues, just in case.
The detection of the 3.2-foot (one-meter) meteoroid, called SAR 2667, is only the seventh time astronomers have been able to do so, according to ESA. "It's a sign of the rapid advances in global detection capabilities," the agency wrote on Twitter (opens in new tab).

National Aviation College, the only private aviation center in the country, announced that it will begin post graduate hospitality and aviation programs in collaboration with MOI University of Kenya starting this academic year.
Abera Lemi (Capt), CEO of National Aviation College, said that in the coming academic year the college would start a study developing masters programs in aviation and hospitality management. They plan to collaborate with the same Kenyan school.
“We are providing skilled labour for the fast growing hospitality and aviation industry,” Abera said.
Aviation professionals are scarce in Ethiopia.
“It is quite necessary to train students in the aviation fields to keep up with the growing demand,” the college founder said.
The college, which is the sister company of the private airline, National Airways, graduated 212 students in aviation and hospitality a week ago.
“We are adding value in the society through training and meeting an unmet need,” Abera told Capital.
“Our students been hired by local and international companies and some have been highly recognized for their work,” he added.
National Aviation College provides internationally recognized training in travel and tourism, cabin crew, hotel operation, front office operation, ticketing and reservation in collaboration with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and UK based Institute of Commercial Management.
It provides a degree program in Hotel Management that has been recognized by the Higher Education Relevance and Quality Agency.
In the 2015 and 16 the college was awarded the title of ‘Africa’s top performing IATA authorized training centre’ by IATA.
Previously, National has signed a collaboration agreement with Chinese public universities, Shenyang Aerospace University (SAU), Liaoning Shihua University and Liaoning University, to train Ethiopian students in aviation science. | aerospace |

As with all flights to the Caribbean, the vast majority of outbound flights operate during the day, with return flights operating overnight.
Indirect, Scheduled Flights To Cuba
With the withdrawal of Virgin Atlantic, there are currently no direct, scheduled flights between the UK & Cuba. TUI currently fly direct to Varadero (see below) but are set to end this service at the end of April 2024.
In terms of indirect flights to Cuba, there are numerous airlines offering flights to Havana, generally via Europe.
Air France – Numerous UK airports to Havana via Paris
Air France offer 3 or 4 flights per week from Paris (CDG) to Havana with connections from a number of UK airports including London Heathrow, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Edinburgh.
Long-haul flights operate with Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 aircraft with a choice of 3 cabins.
KLM – Numerous UK airports to Havana via Amsterdam
KLM flights to Cuba are currently suspended.
Iberia – Heathrow to Havana via Madrid
Iberia offer 3 or 4 flights per week from Madrid to Havana with connections from London Heathrow. Long-haul flights operate using Airbus A330 aircraft with a choice of cabins.
Air Europa – Gatwick to Havana via Madrid
Air Europa offer near daily flights from Madrid to Havana with connections from London Gatwick. Long-haul flights operate using Boeing 787 Dreamliner with a choice of 2 cabins.
Aeromexico – Heathrow to Havana via Mexico City
Aeromexico offer near daily flights from Heathrow via Mexico City. Unlike flights via Europe, both the outbound and inbound flights operate overnight.
On the longhaul sector, flights are operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner with a choice of 2 cabins.
As one of the world’s most exciting destinations, this route opens up the option of a Mexico City stopover.
Other Flight Options To Havana
Air Canada fly from Toronto to Havana with connecting flights from Heathrow. However, unlike flights via Europe, connections in Toronto can be very tight, involve very long layovers or even an overnight.
TUI – Manchester to Varadero
Operating until the end of April 2024, TUI operate a weekly (Wednesday) flight from Manchester direct to Varadero, Cuba’s largest beach resort some 2 hours drive from Havana (to which we can arrange private transfers).
Flights are generally operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliners with a choice of 2 cabins.
Flying To Cuba via the USA
Due to the current political situation, trying to arrange flights between the USA & Cuba is fraught with difficulty and risks and, as a result, we strongly advise clients to avoid them at this time.

Plug Power Inc. said it would work with Airbus to study the feasibility of bringing green hydrogen to future aircraft and airports.
Airbus and Plug Power will work on a joint study and roadmap that could bring green hydrogen to aircraft and airports, Plug Power said.
Plug Power shares rose 7% to $31.90 premarket.
Plug Power will create deployment scenarios for green hydrogen infrastructure at airports, while Airbus will offer insight on hydrogen aircraft characteristics.
Plug Power and Airbus will select a U.S. airport to serve as the first "Hydrogen Hub" pilot airport in North America, serving as a case study for hydrogen infrastructure scale-up at other airports.
The companies will also consider setting up a range of joint projects covering the deployment of green hydrogen infrastructure for aviation, at scale.
Airbus hopes to bring zero-emission aircraft to market by 2035.
"We at Airbus see huge potential for green hydrogen to power our future zero-emission aircraft," said Glenn Llewellyn, Airbus vice-president for zero-emission aircraft.

The aircraft squawked ident, approach control thus continued to vector the aircraft for an ILS approach runway 27, requested the crew to squawk ident if they managed to lower their gear and subsequently cleared the flight to land on runway 27.
Tower in the meantime instructed all traffic to hold short of runway 27, the crew of one flight protesting stating they just saw the arriving aircraft go around but tower repeating instruction to hold short of the runway, the crew then advised they were monitoring the emergency frequency just in case.
The crew of the Swiftair went around, positioned for another ILS approach to runway 27 with approach control continuing to vector the aircraft and the crew continuing to “read back” by squawking ident and landed safely.
Have a listen to how this example of loss of communications (technical malfunction) was handled. As you know, communications is a vital aspect of aviation and this example shows how alternative methods can be used if the primary communications channel is not available.
Have you ever encountered a situation where the primary communications channel was not available? What did you do as an alternative? Besides squawking, what other methods are there to communicate to ATC? Discuss. | aerospace |

SHREC, the team behind STP-H7-CASPR, presented their work at the recent Keystone Space Collaborative conference
STP-H7-CASPR–the Configurable and Autonomous Sensor Processing Research system–has been the talk of the town – and throughout the cosmos.
The University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Space, High-Performance, and Resilient Computing (SHREC), the team who designed and constructed and now operates CASPR, presented their project to various industry professionals and local leaders at the recent Keystone Space Collaborative conference.
“CASPR has been operating marvelously in orbit for the last 18 months on the International Space Station,” graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering and SHREC team member Evan Gretok said. “It was an awesome experience to connect with local leaders and see all the incredible work going on [at the conference]!”
Each SHREC grad student present at the conference has their own research angle concerning space computing.
- Mike Cannizarro: performance and reliability of the latest and greatest space-computing systems based on free and open-source RISC-V architecture
- Tyler Garrett: resilient deep learning for GPUs and TPUs in space, bringing the latest advancements from computer vision to ChatGPT to orbit
- Linus Silbernagel: reconfigurable FPGA accelerators for autonomous landing using terrain-relative navigation or debris tracking with local optical flow
- Rob Esswein: spacecraft security, evaluating network vulnerabilities and failures in constellations of satellites like SpaceX Starlink or OneWeb
- Evan Gretok: teaching satellites to understand what they are seeing on the ground and alert us accordingly
SHREC is funded partly through the National Science Foundation’s Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC), a highly competitive program that “accelerates the impact of basic research through close relationships between industry innovators, world-class academic teams, and government leaders. IUCRCs are designed to help corporate partners and government agencies connect directly and efficiently with university researchers to achieve three primary objectives.”
Alan George, founder and director of SHREC, Mickle Chair Professor and Department Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Pitt, is proud that his team is able to share their accomplishments.
“Comprising more than 30 university, industry, and government partners across the United States, and led by Pitt, SHREC is a national center for advanced research and workforce development in space systems engineering, supporting dozens of top graduate students,” George said “We’re hosting top talent and proud that Pittsburgh is home.”

As a result, we enjoy hot air ballooning over the rural surroundings near Moab and Castle Valley, Utah. Our fly permit covers some of the most incredible area in the country, thanks to the collaboration of the Bureau of Land Management and the State of Utah. The views from the balloon are incredible.
Our hot air balloon rides last an average of just over an hour, despite the fact that time in the air can range from 45 minutes to 1.15 hours. The length of a flight is determined by a number of factors, including wind, weather conditions, prospective landing sites, payload, altitude, temperature, and other factors. We adore flying and will do everything we can to make the flight as long as possible. The pilot-in-command makes the final choice on flight length, which is based exclusively on safety. From start to finish, the event normally takes three to four hours, so anticipate spending at least that much time.
This flight provides spectacular 360-degree vistas. It's easy to see why Hollywood uses this set for so many western and modern films. The rough red rock canyons formed by the Colorado River, hazardous rock towers and arches, Desert bighorn sheep, Mountain lion, Bobcat, Pronghorn antelope, fox, and coyote are some of the things we might view while flying. The Canyonlands are also home to a variety of raptors, including the Peregrine falcon, the Bald and Golden eagles, and the Red-tailed hawk. | aerospace |

When it is illuminated by the sun, it is brighter than any star and moves with a quite high speed across the night sky which makes it quite easy to spot. As much as they're pretty, the Iridium flares were an accidental side-effect of the antenna configuration, and can interfere with observatories — in general, I believe the consensus is that they should be avoided if possible. To make this more interesting I had live footage of the iss from NASA tv on my laptop as it passed over head and even saw the light change into darkness as it went over the horizon.
We copied the packet downlink on Still brighter than ever. Facts About Earth says. Now given that even with just the LEO constellation there's likely to be 4 satellites visible from any location - you are likely to notice it unless they take action to stop specular reflections from these satellites.

The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) and the Johnson Space Center (JSC) have a long and successful history of collaborative research and exploration activities that began with the Apollo program. The LPI and JSC have harnessed that heritage to build the Center for Lunar Science and Exploration to better support our nation’s new lunar science and exploration activities.
The Center is an integral part of the NASA Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute and is designed to:
- Develop a core, multi-institutional lunar science program that addresses the highest science priorities identified by the National Research Council (NRC) for NASA;
- Provide scientific and technical expertise to NASA that will infuse its lunar research programs, including developing investigations that influence current and future space missions;
- Support the development of a lunar science community that both captures the surviving Apollo experience and trains the next generation of lunar science researchers;
- Complement those activities with studies of near-Earth asteroids that have modified the evolution of the Earth-Moon system and may be targets for future human exploration.
- Use that core lunar and near-Earth asteroid science to develop education and public outreach programs that will energize and capture the imagination of K-14 audiences and the general public.
Science. The LPI-JSC team is augmented by faculty, students, and analytical facilities at the University of Arizona, University of Hawaii, University of Houston, University of Maryland, University of Notre Dame. It is also augmented with research scientists at the Arecibo Observatory, the United States Geological Survey, and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This collaborative program is built around the Apollo sample collection, which provides the highest-fidelity view of the lunar surface for a new generation of lunar scientists, and the Antarctic meteorite collection, which provides an immense number of near-Earth asteroid samples. The team’s science theme is driven by the highest-priority science concept (the bombardment history of the inner solar system is uniquely revealed on the Moon) and highest-priority goal (to test the lunar cataclysm hypothesis) that were identified by the National Research Council (2007) for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This investigative theme will carry us from the earliest moments of the Moon’s origin through the immensely important basin-forming epoch to new analyses of impact contributions to the lunar regolith. The team’s work will explore the role of near-Earth asteroids in those processes and how their collisional history may be driven by other Solar System processes, both in the past and in the context of future impact hazards.
Exploration. The Center’s activities are designed to integrate the objectives of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate (SMD) with the exploration objectives of NASA’s Human and Exploration Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD). The team’s experience with lunar surface samples, asteroid samples, impact cratered terrains, and volcanic terrains will help integrate science and exploration activities and develop operational procedures for future lunar and near-Earth asteroid surface activities.
Training. Future space exploration depends critically on our ability to train young people. The Center for Lunar Science and Exploration will develop a pipeline of capability that feeds into research and development programs associated with the NASA's Science Mission Directorate and the NASA’s Human and Exploration Operations Mission Directorate (HEOMD) . The Center’s programs will support undergraduate and graduate student interns and post-doctoral fellows at LPI and JSC. It will also provide field-based training and research programs in planetary surface terrains like Meteor Crater and the Sudbury impact structure.
Education and Public Outreach. In addition to enhancing existing lunar and near-Earth asteroid data at LPI and JSC, the results of our science investigations will be mined to generate a dynamic education and public outreach (E/PO) program. Activities are designed to assist teachers with their classroom activities and provide materials for those activities. Other activities are designed to reach students at all levels directly, including resources for university students. The Center for Lunar Science and Exploration will build on a long heritage of E/PO products generated by the LPI and JSC staff. | aerospace |

NASA has revealed that a rocket carrying student experiments has been launched from Virginia's Eastern Shore. NASA said it was 6:04am Wednesday when the Terrier-Improved Malemute suborbital sounding rocket lifted off from the Wallops Island Flight Facility.
The rocket flew to an altitude of about 97 miles before descending with the help of a parachute into the Atlantic Ocean.
More than 60 university and college students and instructors from across the U. S. and Puerto Rico witnessed the launch, said NASA in a news release.
Under the RockSat-X program, students from seven higher education program across the nation developed the experiments.
Wait was on for those students who wanted to see their experiment in space as NASA cancelled plans of a Tuesday launch that was scheduled to be held from eastern Virginia's Wallops Flight Facility.
The backup launch days were Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. A group of Virginia Tech College of Engineering students would soon see how a 3-D printer works in microgravity of suborbital space. The 3D printer was required to survive a jarring ride 100 miles above the earth before yielding results.
Virginia Tech said a 900-pound NASA two-stage Terrier-Improved Malemute suborbital sounding rocket carried the experiment into space.
"We are thrilled to be part of a program that encourages students to expand their capabilities", said Virginia Tech RockSat-X team leader Sebastian Welsh of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, and senior in the Department of Computer Science.
Seven universities participated in the launch from Wallops Island, Virginia, that was initially set for 6 am Tuesday, August 11.

Description: Shoal Group will award the best modelling and simulation rocket submission with the Shoal Award for Modelling and Simulation. This award is presented to the team which has demonstrated exemplary efforts in de-risking their rocket submission through thorough modelling and simulation practices.
The submission must demonstrate a well-thought-out modelling and simulation approach, with accompanying validation strategies and methods used. Analysis of results and decision-making surrounding assumptions and parameter selection will also be scrutinised. This award is tool-agnostic and method-agnostic. Each submission will be reviewed by Shoal’s world-class engineering team. Shoal engineers have been involved with major space modelling and simulation projects including the JAXA Hayabusa spacecraft re-entry into Australia and the revision of the Australian Space Agency’s Flight Safety Code and Maximum Probable Loss Methodology.
Note: No further rubric will be released for this award. Shoal will look at the final report section that discusses modelling and simulation, considering any and all simulations that de-risk the designed rocket to achieving its technical goal. Naturally, technical written communication skills should be of a high standard. | aerospace |

A Russian An-3T single-turboprop aircraft that was left in Antarctica 2 years ago is to be flown back home to Moscow to fulfill requirements of the Madrid Protocol under which Russia is obliged to remove it from the Pole.
The expedition to collect it is led by the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma and well-known polar explorer, Arthur Chilingarov. The aircraft has been at the Antarctic Amundsen-Scott base since January 2002 due to an engine failure.
It seems that a test crew has already flown the An-3T from the South pole to the US research station at Mc-Merdo. The 735 NM (1,360 km) flight lasted over 7 hours and achieved a height of over 13,000 ft, exceeding the published service ceiling for the aircraft.
Russian aircraft removed from South PoleThe AN-3 aircraft is a modified AN-2, which has been in operation for 50 years. It is a huge bi-plane with a 1,375 hp engine and a ski/wheel undercarriage which enable it to operate out of 500 m rough strips. Over 15,500 AN-2 aircraft have been produced and it is still in production in China.

It was detected missing in northwestern Armenia after failing to return from what military officials said was a routine training flight.
Defense Ministry spokesman Seyran Shahsuvarian–said that the MiG-29 fighter jet belonged to the Russian military base in Armenia.
The official said a rescue team of the Armenian government’s Department on Emergency Situations was scouring the area around the town of Artik near the Turkish border.
A Russian news agency–citing Russian military sources in Armenia–reported that some local residents saw the MiG-29 going down.
But Armenia’s Emergency Department spokesman Nikolay Grigorian said that as of 8PM local time–rescuers failed to find wreckage or other traces–and only suspect that it crashed near Artik.
The whereabouts of the 39-year-old pilot–a Russian air force major–is also unknown.
Russian military personnel are reportedly involved in the search via army helicopters–according to a Russian Air Force spokesman–who said that the search was suspended with nightfall–but will resume on Thursday morning.
The missing jet–capable of carrying up to four heavy bombs–was part of a unit of about two dozen MiG-29s deployed by Russia in Armenia in the late 1990s–along with state-of-the-art S-300 surface-to-air missiles. They significantly boosted the country’s air-defense system which is integrated into the Russian-dominated Collective Security Treaty of several ex-Soviet states.
It was Russia’s first reported loss of military aircraft on Armenian territory since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Designed in the late 1970s–MiG-29 is one of the Russian military’s most powerful and high-tech warplanes. It has been exported abroad since 1986. | aerospace |

23 March 2012
European Space Agency - March 22, 2012
Today is World Water Day, and satellite observations are indispensible for monitoring our water resources. ESA’s TIGER initiative is supporting Africa in monitoring precious water assets by exploiting satellite information.
At the sixth World Water Forum held last week in Marseille, France, experts from over 170 countries met to discuss solutions for sustainable water management.
Satellite observations of our planet were widely acknowledged as an indispensable tool for collecting information on available water resources. This is especially true for areas like cross-boundary river basins, such as the Nile basin and its 11 countries.
Responding to this need for information on water, ESA’s TIGER initiative is running projects and building capacity to use space technology for managing water resources in direct partnership with several African and international organisations, such as the African Ministers’ Council on Water, UNESCO-IHP, African Water Facility, UN-ECA and the Canadian Space Agency. | aerospace |

Taking advantage of the prevailing meteorological conditions, local ground features and of course gravity, powerless gliding is one of the most satisfying and exhilarating things you can do with or without your feet on terra firma.
All FGV UK glider vouchers are for trial flying lessons and include both winch launch and aerotow options. This means that students can take the controls and try powerless flight for themselves in safety with their instructor.
A very popular flying experience for people of all ages; gliding is in a class of it's own and arguably the most sociable form of light aviation. | aerospace |

Following the halting of aviation services after the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, the organisation set up a global biosafety framework for the safe restart of aviation which was found to be critical for the safe resumption of air transport.
So far, the latest data from the global body shows that Rwanda is one of few countries globally to have fully complied with the regulations.
Barry Kashambo of ICAO speaking on behalf of the ICAO Regional Offices accredited to African States ICAO lauded the country's efforts urging others to follow suit to revive economic activity.
“We recognize the efforts and actions by Rwanda and some other States, to fully implement the provisions of ICAO CART recommendations and Take-off guidance and measures.
We encourage all Governments in Africa to prioritize the restart of aviation and to tap into its potential as an enabler to Africa’s economic recovery post Covid-19. Air connectivity is critical to economic and sustainable development and the movement of persons across the continent,” he said.
If applied, the measures will help the global aviation scene avoid conflicting measures, disruptions and inefficiencies, encouraging resumption of passengers air travel.
The body also commended Rwanda and other African countries on efforts by the government to provide relief to the aviation sector in the process savings jobs and allowing resumption of activities and support to the economy.
"We are grateful to the few African governments that have provided relief to aviation so far - Rwanda, Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso and recently Cabo Verde.
“Their actions have helped save thousands of jobs and will enable some airlines to restart and support the wider economies they serve,” said Muhammad Al Bakri, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Africa and the Middle East.
The measures to set up the global standards and provide relief have been found to be effective in minimizing the adverse impact on jobs and the broader African economy as well as key for the accelerated recovery of air transport across the continent.
Rwanda re-opened Kigali International Airport on August 1st after setting up new measures to allow resumption of activities and complying with local and global health standards.
The continental and global forecast for the aviation sector remain bleak with job losses in aviation and related industries could increase by up to 3.5 million in Africa.
That is more than half of the region’s 6.2 million aviation-related employment and 400,000 more than the previous estimate.
Full-year 2020 traffic is expected to plummet by 54 per cent (more than 80 million passenger journeys) compared to 2019. GDP supported by aviation in the region could fall by up to $35 billion.Follow https://twitter.com/ByCollinsMwai | aerospace |

Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are aircraft that do not require a human pilot on board. Drones come in several forms, shapes, and sizes; however, they all have one common feature: they are remotely controlled from the ground or can fly autonomously. Drones can be equipped with cameras, sensors, and other devices to perform various tasks, such as capturing images or videos, delivering goods, or conducting search and rescue operations.Unmanned aerial vehicles have always been considered a product of the military, but over the past several years, they have become increasingly popular in civilian applications as prices have reduced and technologies have improved. The most common application of drones in the civil sector is photography, videography, and surveillance. However, the ability of drones to fly into areas that humans cannot or are not capable of providing a bird’s eye view, has made them indispensable in the world of search and rescue operations.
How Can Drones Enhance Public Safety During Search and Rescue Operations?
Drones can provide a vast array of advantages during search and rescue operations, including:
Cost-effective and efficient
The cost of using drones to conduct search and rescue operations is significantly lower than traditional search methods. For instance, costs related to hiring a helicopter or crew are avoided. Drones can be equipped with high-quality cameras that prove invaluable in search and rescue operations as they offer a bird’s eye view of the surrounding environment. Drones can be used to survey large areas quickly, and streams the footage to personnel who can make real-time rescue decisions.
Safety pre-term before the search
Before a search and rescue operation commences, safety checks should be conducted to ensure that the helicopter, crew, or personnel is safe from harm. Drones can be used to survey the area and gather valuable information that a search team would require. For example, if a search operation was being conducted on a rocky outcrop, a drone could fly over before the search starts and check that there were no steep inclines that would require abseiling gear or high winds or potential dangers.
Locating the missing or injured
Drones can be equipped with infrared cameras to locate the body heat of victims in areas where it is difficult to see. Drones can detect changes in body temperature, which can aid in the search for missing persons. There have been various instances where drones have saved lives through their ability to locate people who might have been missed without their utilization. They can also help pinpoint any stuck or stranded individuals once they have been identified.
Transportation of essential equipment and rescue personnel
Drones can also be used to transport essential equipment to rescuers who are located in areas that are difficult to reach. The drone will transport the equipment to the area and deliver it to the rescuer without the need to endanger additional lives. In the same vein, drones can be used for the same function by delivering medical supplies or very important drugs to injured individuals.
Search in difficult terrains
Search and rescue operations can sometimes be challenging to execute in unfavorable weather or harsh terrain. For example, if you are searching for someone in a dense forest or a deep canyon, using a helicopter may become impractical due to obstacles. By contrast, drones can move in all directions, and with new technological advancements, they have the capability of flying in heavy storms or through harsh wind conditions.
The Role of Drones in Recent Search and Rescue Operations
There are numerous examples of how drones have saved lives during search and rescue operations. Below are a few examples:
During hurricane season 2019, a specialist drone team was tasked to create a mapping environment to be used by ground search teams. The team utilized a range of drones to record footage of the hurricane-torn areas, which was eventually translated into map directions for ground personnel. The mapping has since been streamlined, and it now takes less time to create a map of an affected area with a high degree of accuracy.
Northern California, 2018
The Campfire wildfire occurred in Northern California in 2018 and claimed at least 86 lives. The fire was challenging to extinguish, so drones were used to map out the affected areas to summon and direct aid to where it was needed. Because of the stormy and hazardous terrain, drones were the safest and most efficient way to gather intelligence and direct teams.
Victoria, Australia, 2019
The State Emergency Service (SES) in Victoria, Australia, equipped with multiple drones, utilized them to map out flood-prone areas in Victoria. The use of drones helped the team to retrieve satellite imagery to create accurate maps of the emergency zones.
Yellowstone National Park, 2016
In Yellowstone National Park, a drone was used during a search operation to locate a resident who went missing over a day earlier. The drone was fitted with infrared thermal sensors, and it located the lost individual through their body heat, which a naked eye would never have been able to identify. The drone’s accurate reporting enabled ground personnel to go directly to the injured individual and bring them back to safety.
Drones have become an essential tool in search and rescue operations. Drones’ ability to access remote areas and record high-quality footage has become valuable in streamlining rescue procedures during natural disasters or emergencies. The use of drones is cost-effective, fast, and can reduce the need for rescue personnel in dangerous conditions. We live in a world where technology is advancing, and drones are proving to be one of the most effective ways to enhance public safety. Let us, therefore, embrace this technology to improve our rescue procedures, and save lives.See you again in another interesting article. | aerospace |

Following directives by the President, the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has begun the deployment of fighter aircraft to Katsina, the airport with the closest proximity to Zamfara State to make for immediate and effective response to the menace of the bandits.
This had not been possible in the past because there was no fuel depot facility in Katsina, but NAF has devised a way around the problem.
The President has also authorised the engagement by NAF, of advanced satellite surveillance technology to help in accurate detection of movement and locations of the bandits.
The government had to go to this extent because of the limitations of conventional surveillance, as the use of satellite technology could make the task of NAF less problematic. | aerospace |

After 205 days, 7 hours, and 47 minutes from its launch at the Vandenberg Air Force Base, NASA’s InSight spacecraft has finally landed on Mars.
Formally named the NASA Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight), the spacecraft launched from Lompoc, California, in May. InSight’s Nov. 26 landing is the eighth successful Mars landing for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, according to an Associated Press report.
NASA’s InSight Mission Overview webpage describes how scientists will use the InSight mission’s technology to investigate how rock-bodied—opposed to gas-filled—planets such as Mars and the Earth were formed. According to reports released by NASA, scientists would like to establish a better understanding of the deepest interior of Mars by monitoring its “vital signs, its pulse, and temperature” through seismic activity and heat flow.
When considering NASA’s Mars-centered missions, it is important to keep in mind local connections. Many researchers and scientists at the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton participated in the ongoing mission of the Mars Exploration Rovers by designing the mission’s spacecraft.
This 2003 mission launched the two Mars Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. Both vehicles were designed to investigate the history of water on the planet.
The NASA Langley Research Center has also supported the Moon to Mars program, an ongoing 2017 proposal that allocates funds to NASA and select private corporations with the purpose of exploring the solar system and solidifying the United States as a world leader of space exploration.
Since the 1965 Mariner 4 mission, citizens, writers and scientists across the globe have considered the possibility of establishing habitable space colonies on Mars.
When a Hampton University student was asked what she thought about the citizens of Earth relocating to Mars in the future, Ashlei Biggers said that she does not believe relocating would solve any of our current problems, many of which humans would only “bring to another planet.” Biggers, a senior secondary education and mathematics focus major from Baltimore, also discussed the likelihood that Earth’s socioeconomic discrimination would accompany humanity to Mars.
But as billionaires and entrepreneurs become increasingly involved in spacecraft development and NASA missions such as InSight share new discoveries about Mars, the possibility of humans traveling to other planets begins to sound less like a matter of science fiction and more like a matter of scientific inevitability.

In May 2018, two large UAVs used autopilot of JOUAV AP-201 carrying dropping sounding system, which was domestic independently developed, were successfully tested in Huaibei. This achievement fills the gap of meteorological sounding with large unmanned equipment in China.
UAVs: TL-300 & TL-400, Developed by Skyway Aerial Organization.
Equipment: Dropping sounding system, Developed by Chine Aerial Science Engineering second institution. AP-201 autopilot, Developed by JOUAV
What’s the tough part of this project?
UAV meteorological sounding is absolutely a difficult, complex, multi-disciplinary and challenging work. Dropping sounding system should be the most important and foundation payload of the UAV meteorological sounding. Until 2009, China had the first dropping sounding test for tropical cyclone while there were a long blank in this area.
TL-300 and TL-400 equipped with dropping sounding system were launched at 6000m airspace, flying for total 4hrs. The ground and airborne equipment had received sounder signals including data of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity and air pressure in real time simultaneously. We succeed.
Zhang Xuefen, director of the base office of the China Meteorological Administration Exploration Center, who participated in the experiment, believed that this success eliminated the blank in area of large UAV dropping sounding in China. After the testing, we're able to provide technology support for other fields like typhoon detection, ecological monitoring, weather and meteorological data collecting in China.

Challenger came to rest at Taurus-Littrow at 113:01:58 GET, 2:54 PM Eastern Standard Time - exactly 40 years ago from the time of this post.
Cernan and Schmitt readied Challenger for a quick take-off should any problems be discovered, but none did. After about 30 minutes, the pair began configuring their ship for its three-day lunar stay by powering down the flight systems.
The day's work was far from over though. In about three and a half hours, the eleventh and twelfth - and thus far final - men to walk on the moon would get their first chance of three during their lunar stay to do so.

Topped by the profile of a P-47 Thunderbolt fighter plane, it provides a hint of the Alcoa retiree's passion for the planes, thousands of which were built here during World War II, when the city was a dynamo of the inland defense industry.
If you want to know something about a P-47 made at the Republic Aviation plant (now Whirlpool Corp.) on U.S. 41 or, for that matter, about a P-47 made elsewhere in the United States, ask Wilson.
Even if the entire plane wasn't built here, most P-47s sported wings made in Evansville at the old Servel plant, he said. The wings were made here and shipped to Republic's Farmingdale, N.Y., facility.
If he doesn't have the answer to your question stacked away in a neatly labeled manila folder in a file cabinet his basement, it probably can't be found anywhere.
He's tried to find every Evansville-built plane left in the world. More than 6,200, as Wilson's files show, were built here, along with enough spare parts for the equivalent of 1,560 more.
Many of the planes were scrapped after the war. Others were sold to military units in other countries and to civilians after the war.
Wilson, 70, has interviewed about 135 people who worked at Republic. His file drawers are jammed with copies of the Republic Aviation Newsletter. He's clipped obituaries of people who worked in the Evansville defense plants. Models of the fighter hang from the ceiling of his basement office.
He and his wife, Emily, hope to use it all to produce a book on the wartime industry here, which made not only fighter planes but LSTs and ammunition, among other things.
He's the city's expert on its aviation history, the go-to man for facts, albeit, as he suggests, "largely a little-known aviation historian."
It's an area of expertise he's used to assist in restoration projects at venues that include the Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio, and the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington.
That museum, Wilson notes, has on display the most original Evansville-made P-47 left anywhere.
But Wilson's interest in aviation isn't limited to Evansville or Republic or the P-47. For 20 years, he was the historian for the Stearman Restorers Association. He has the history the more than 10,000 of those World War I- era trainers built by the Wichita, Kan., company.
He uses a vintage stencil-cutting machine to assist people involved in restorations.
The history of flight is a near lifelong passion that may have been inspired by a discarded matchbook cover of a Piper airplane he found in the front yard of his family's Mount Vernon, Ind., home when he was 9.
Wilson says his interest has always been the history of the planes, the companies that made them and the people who flew them.

Wednesday marks the fifth attempt to launch a rocket from a Wallops Island facility in Virginia. The launch has been interrupted four nights in a row due to weather conditions.
Another attempt took place at 8:06 PM, with a 40-minute activation window.
What sets this launch apart from what Central Floridians are used to on the Space Coast is that the rocket will be released to trace the vapor up into the atmosphere to study the wind.
[Trending:[TRENDING:[กำลังมาแรง:[TRENDING:Shutting down the emergency alert pipeline | 13-year-old girl stabbed and killed, ME said. | 226 alligators removed from Disney World.)
But why? 🤔
Scientists use vapor tracing tools to study the upper atmosphere winds and the ionosphere mainly. When released after the detector is launched, the wind can be observed directly. The vapors are released harmlessly between 217-249 miles above the earth. pic.twitter.com/6i7b9aAW6f
– NASA Wallops (@NASA_Wallops) May 7, 2021
The materials that make up the vapor trap are the same materials that make fireworks come in color. All materials are harmless to us.
While Bermuda will have the best seat in the house to see the multicolor vapor detector, Central Florida has a chance to see the display as well.
Looks as far east as possible on the horizon, 90 seconds to two minutes after a rocket launched from Wallops Island, Virginia. Follower can be seen from Maine to central Florida and as far as the Mississippi River.
If weather interrupts the re-launch, backups will run until May 16.

There were no survivors. As of mid-afternoon local time, officials were still unsure exactly what had happened to the Russian jetliner, although early reports indicated that the plane had been found in a region where Egyptian forces were engaged in heavy combat with Islamic State militants. In a statement Saturday just before 8 a.m. ET, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry offered condolences to the families of the victims.
"We don't know any details about it, but obviously the initial reports represent tremendous tragedy, loss," Kerry told reporters, "and we extend our condolences to the families and all those concerned."
Metrojet flight 7K9268 had left the popular tourist destination Sharm el-Sheikh, a seaside region in the south Sinai Peninsula, at 5:51 a.m. and had been in the air for 23 minutes when it lost communication with air traffic controllers. Aviation officials confirmed that the plane had been bound for St. Petersburg when it crashed. An AP report on Saturday morning indicated that authorities searching for the plane had found the wreckage in the barren mountainous region of Hassana, south of el-Arish, where the Egyptian military and insurgents had been waging war since Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was deposed two years earlier. Morsi was convicted this past May for breaking out of prison in 2011 during the height of the Egyptian insurgency, and was later sentenced to death for his crimes.
An Islamic state affiliate on Saturday claimed responsibility for the crash, however Egyptian authorities ruled out the possibility that the Airbus A321 could have been shot down by fighters, with Russian Embassy officials explaining that the plane had been trying to make an emergency landing at the time of the crash.
"The plane split into two, a small part on the tail end that burned and a larger part that crashed into a rock," an Egyptian security officer told Reuters on Saturday. "We have extracted at least 100 bodies and the rest are still inside." An anonymous Sinai security source also told the news outlet that the plane had gone down in a "vertical fashion," which may have been the reason for the scale of the devastation.
A spokesperson for Kogalymavia, the airline that operated the Metrojet flight, told Russian Interfax news agency reporters that airline officials had also ruled out human error. They added that flights for the families of the victims were being arranged.
According to the AP, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry lamented the tragedy in a phone call with Russian officials Saturday afternoon, insisting that Egyptian authorities would work "to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident, in full cooperation and coordination with the Russian side."
In a press release on Saturday morning, Airbus stated that the plane itself had logged 56,000 flight hours over 21,000 flights since its production in 1997. There were no other factual details readily available, but a spokesperson explained the company would be providing "full technical assistance" to investigators. | aerospace |

On Sunday, February 21, 60 Minutes did a segment on Bloom Energy and the company’s Bloom Box. This coming-out-party may prove huge for the green revolution but only time will tell.
Long before "sustainable" and "green" became commonly heard, James Strock was an expert and enforcer in the practices.
The idea that we can collect solar power with satellites in space and beam the energy back to earth to be used as electricity is actually not as far fetched as you might think. The theory, and it still remains very much in that realm, is based on two proven technologies. | aerospace |

LATS Timeline (pdf 100 kb)
In 2005, the Governor signed into law Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill (ESSB) 5121, which authorized a long-term air transportation planning study for general aviation and commercial airports statewide. The legislation is also known as the Washington State Long-Term Air Transportation Study (LATS). The purpose of LATS is to understand what capacity currently exists in aviation facilities and what will be needed to meet future demand for air transportation. The bill requires WSDOT Aviation to conduct an airport capacity/facility assessment in Phase One and a demand/market analysis in phase two. In the final phase the Governor will appoint a 10 member aviation planning council. The council will review the data and make recommendations to the Governor, Legislature, and Transportation Commission on how to best meet statewide commercial and general aviation capacity needs. The project will be funded primarily through Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grants.
To the right is a map of the state air transportation system. Four "Special Emphasis Regions" identified by the state legislature are shown in dark green. Also depicted are public use airports across the state (General Aviation), and commercial airports with scheduled passenger service.

Blériot Propellers and the Only Operable Wright in the WorldStart at the Aviation Museum in Prague Kbely. It is one of the largest museums of its kind in Europe thanks to the number of exhibits and quality of its collections. You will find airplanes there, as well as aircraft armament, pilot equipment, uniforms, banners, awards and other artefacts related to the history of Czechoslovak and Czech aviation. Don’t miss the Ing. Jan Kašpar Aviation Museum at the airport in East Bohemian Pardubice. Inside the former hangar you’ll see operable replicas of historical aircraft, even the original propeller that drove the Blériot legend of Czech aviation, Jan Kašpar, or the local rarity the only operable replica of the Wright plane in the world! The museum in Kunovice mostly has cargo planes, the one in Vyškov special military planes. The Aviation Museum in Mladá Boleslav contains dozens of historical and modern machines, as well as several simulators where you can try piloting a plane, parachuting or astronaut training.
NATO Day Crowd-pullers: the Eurofighter and the French RafaleThe greatest aviation military event in Europe takes place on 17 and 18 September at the Mošnov Airport near Ostrava. The show includes the Czech Air Force Day where aerobatic squadrons show what they can do. This year’s crowd-pullers include the Austrian Eurofighter and the French Rafale, which is the only non-US machine able to land on US ships!
Up to the Clouds? Go for It!All adventurers should try a hot-air balloon cruise at least once in their lifetime. Sightseeing balloon tours around the Konopiště Chateau or flights in the Bohemian Paradise, where the countryside is ideal for this form of sightseeing, are very popular.
Tickets with the company “Hoši v koši” Boys in the Basket can be purchased for individuals and private flights with the option to choose the starting point. Some regional airports then offer the option to fly in a small airplane, so-called ultralight, with a qualified instructor.

The Flight Path team is proud to support the 2023 Care Affair at the West Michigan Regional Airport in the Fogg hangar. The event is sponsored by Wings of Mercy and featured a fund raising pancake breakfast and 5K runway run. The event fittingly coincided with the celebration of National Aviation Day. The weather was fantastic and many pilots flew in for pancakes and sausage, while mingling with local visitors and runners. EAA Young Eagles pilots were also on hand to give airplane rides to many eager potential pilots. Flight Path opened its facility in the Fogg hangar and was able to get many young people flying on the flight simulators used for our FLIGHT NIGHT program. If you missed this event, register your middle or high school student for a FLIGHT NIGHT. Check out the program details on the FLIGHT NIGHT page.

Scouts Earn Aviation Merit Badge
Eleven Scouts from Troop 33 from Hamilton came to a special FLIGHT NIGHT to earn their Aviation Merit Badge. The Scouts attended presentations on the history of aviation, the aerodynamics of airplane flight, and how to fly an airplane. Another requirement of the badge is navigating a trip from one airport to another. The Scouts planed a trip from Grand Haven to Muskegon with a heavy crosswind. Their objective was to determine the proper heading while accounting for the wind. After using a Flight Computer (actually a non-electronic slide rule device) to determine their course and timing, the Scouts flew the course on the RedBird and X-Plane flight simulators. All Scouts succeeded in arriving at the Muskegon airport without being blown off course! After more flying on the simulators, Scouts toured the airport hangars and sat in the cockpits of the flight school Cessna airplanes. Finally at the end of the session, each Scout had constructed an “airplane” from styrafoam plates and a contest was held to see which plane could fly the furthest. Congratulations to the Scouts of Troop 33 for earning their Aviation Merit Badge at FLIGHT NIGHT.
SCOUTING THE SKIES OVER CAMP GERBER
The seventh annual Outing for Scouting is a weekend at the Camp Gerber Scout camp, and it’s open to all troops in the Michigan Crossroads Council. Scouts arrived Friday evening and set up camp, making their own dinners, and then breakfast on Saturday. Opening flag ceremonies began at 8:30 AM and then the event got underway. Scouts chose from 25 different activities to experience. At this campout the scouts build camp, meet other scouts and are introduced to many different types of activities. The theme this year was STEMpunk, with many of the activities being STEM-based. Flight Path was invited to the Outing to tell scouts about aviation and give 6th through 12th grade scouts the opportunity to fly two of our X-Plane Flight Simulators. The flight simulators were a big hit! Of the 375 young people attending the Outing, 90 scouts flew the simulators. Everyone who flew had fun and learned a lot about flying and being a pilot. In the past Flight Path has offered a special Aviation Merit Badge program at our facility at the West Michigan Regional Airport in Holland, MI. If your troop is interested in setting up a program, please contact us at [email protected].
FLIGHT NIGHT is adding a FULL MOTION Simulator!

Salvation Army Day Camp Kids visit the Flight Path group at the West Michigan Regional Airport
Aviation is full of rich history and exciting technology. It opens up a world of wonder and exhilaration, especially for young people. It’s a world that all kids should have the opportunity to explore. The Flight Path group in Holland MI helps to provide that opportunity. Flight Path is a non-profit organization made up of pilots and aviation enthusiasts. They invite students to the West Michigan Regional airport to get an inside look at what it’s like to be a pilot or mechanic or flight line worker. That glimpse became a reality for the 20+ Holland/Zeeland Salvation Army Day Camp youth this summer; an opportunity that made a lasting impression on them!
For most of these campers, ages 5-14, it was the first time they had ever been up close and personal with aircraft. As they were approaching the airport, a corporate jet took off over their heads as if on cue, and the realization of the treat they were in for began to take hold. The back-to-back small group tours that followed added to their excitement; They were able to see, touch and sit-in a Cessna aircraft. They all had a chance to “fly” the Flight Path Red Bird certified flight simulator, the same machine used by the airport’s flight instructors to teach student pilots. Even at this young age, many of the kids showed some real skill in piloting the simulator! Some were very serious about flying smoothly and others just had fun (not smooth!). All of the kids saw and learned things about flying they probably have never experienced before. And right on cue near the end of the sessions, a 1930’s biplane taxied out and took off while all of the children looked on.
The comments from the kids as they unloaded from the vans and returned to camp on Clover Street included “cool!”, “that was fun!”, “amazing!”, “I want to fly”. This was more than just a fun afternoon. Some of these kids will walk away with a new passion and interest that could create a future path toward flight. Others may have been inspired to learn more about related STEM and aviation service fields, giving them the motivation to excel in math and science. Mission accomplished! A huge thanks to Jeff Vos and the entire Flight Path group. AUGUST 2021

The UN mission in Darfur is negotiating on release of two Ukrainian citizens and a citizen of Sudan - the crew members of the captured Mi-8 helicopter, UNAMID spokesman Christopher Chikmanik said.
Earlier it was reported that two Ukrainians were on board the helicopter, captured by rebels in Sudan's Darfur region.
"There are negotiations with the rebels on the fate of the crew, involving the Russian company that owns the helicopter, as well as the company that chartered the car and the representatives of our mission with the support of the Sudanese government," Chikmanik noted.
He confirmed that two Ukrainian citizens and a citizen of Sudan are aboard of the captured helicopter.
According to him, the Mi-8 was chartered by the Kuwaiti company Gulf Catering Company, which is engaged in the supply of food under a contract with the United Nations. The mission spokesman does not have accurate information which of the Russian airlines operated this flight. Two Russian airlines said they had no information about the incident in Darfur. | aerospace |
