NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured new photographs that revealed a mysterious rocket crash into the far side of the moon, leaving a double crater in its wake.
Two overlapping impact sites were created by the collision, according to a news statement from NASA. A 59-foot crater and a 52.5-foot crater both exist.
After astrologers noticed an unknown space object headed toward the moon, they were already preparing for an impact. They did not anticipate a twin crater, though.
The space agency stated in the press release that "no other rocket body collisions on the moon generated double craters."
NASA claimed that a rocket with heavy masses on both ends could be the culprit behind the double crater.
NASA, however, noted that "a spent rocket has mass concentrated at the motor end; the remainder of the rocket stage consists primarily of an empty fuel tank."
However, the agency thinks that the mass on the rocket's two ends might be able to point them in the right direction.
In a blog post titled Project Pluto, Bill Gray, the astronomer who initially spotted the strange object and informed NASA
admitted: "I must confess that I'd stupidly imagined it would be easier to find and would have been located quickly after impact."
No nation or organisation has admitted any fault for the crash as of yet.

The iconic ISS is a 'microgravity laboratory' facility that is currently home to seven astronauts, although over 250 have visited in the past 21 years.
The craft has been crewed and operational since November 2000, and has since made well over 125,964 orbits of the earth whilst travelling at speeds of 17,500mph.
Read more of the top stories from across Cheshire here.
The ISS is visible to the naked eye at various times each month, and from this evening (January 21), the craft will soon visible above Cheshire.
Halton Borough Council has put together a handy time-sheet that provides the various times throughout the remainder of January and the start of February when the ISS will be visible.
The length of time in which the craft will be visible varies between one minute and at times up to six minutes. On some a number of occasions, the ISS is visible twice in one evening.
When the ISS will be visible above Cheshire:
- January 21: 6.02pm, 7.38pm
- January 22: 5.14pm, 6.50pm
- January 23: 6.02pm, 7.39pm
- January 24: 5.15pm, 6.51pm
- January 25: 6.04pm, 7.41pm
- January 26: 5.17pm, 6.53pm
- January 27: 6.06pm, 7.43pm
- January 28: 5.19pm, 6.56pm
- January 29: 6.09pm, 7.46pm
- January 30: 5.22pm
- January 31: 6.12pm, 7.49pm
- February 1: 5.25pm, 7.02pm
- February 2: 6.16pm
- February 3: 5.29pm, 7.07pm
- February 4: 6.20pm
- February 5: 5.34pm
- February 7: 5.40pm
Take a look below as we answer some of the most frequently asked questions on the ISS.
Why is the space station up there?
The ISS is a microgravity laboratory facility.
The ship is the size of a football field and hosts a number of science and technology experiments.
These are contentiously being conducted by both crew members or automated machinery.
NASA say that research on the ISS benefits life back on Earth as well as future space exploration.
According to the Administration: "The space station serves as a testbed for technologies and allows us to study the impacts of long-term spaceflight to humans, supporting NASA's mission to push human presence farther into space."
How often can I expect to see the space station?
According to NASA, the ISS is visible because it reflects the light of the sun - the same reason the moon is visible.
However, unlike the moon, the ISS is not bright enough to see during the day and can only be seen when it is dawn or dusk.
Sighting opportunities range between a month to several a week.
It has to be both dark where you are, and the space station has to be going overhead.
Got something to say on this story? Let us know.
How do I know it's the space station?
The ISS is often confused with an airplane.
However, NASA say that unlike an airplane, or very bright star, it doesn't have flashing lights or change direction.
The Administration said: "It will also be moving considerably faster than a typical airplane (airplanes generally fly at about 600 miles per hour; the space station flies at 17,500 miles per hour)."
How fast is the space station travelling?
The space station circles the earth every 90 minutes at a speed of 17,500mph.
The speed at which it travels gives the crew 16 sunrises and sunsets each day.
In the years that people have been living onboard, the Station has circumnavigated the Earth tens of thousands of times. | aerospace |

A glider is a special kind of aircraft that has no engine. … Some hang-gliders look like piloted kites, while others resemble maneuverable parachutes. Sailplanes are piloted gliders that have standard aircraft parts, construction, and flight control systems, but no engine.
What is a hang glider with an engine called?
A foot-launched powered hang glider (FLPHG), also called powered harness, nanolight, or hangmotor, is a powered hang glider harness with a motor and propeller in pusher configuration.
How do powered hang gliders work?
Hang-gliders are unpowered aircraft. They maintain flight by employing a flying surface (wing) called an aerofoil. While powered aircraft use their own power source (motor and propeller or jet turbine) to stay up, hang-gliders require air movement to stay aloft.
How much are hang gliders with motors?
How Much Does a Motorized Hang Glider Cost? A complete set of brand-new motorized hang glider with the inclusion of a helmet, harness, and reserve parachute can cost you around 5,000 to 6,000 dollars.
Does a hang glider have energy?
Gliders have both potential energy in the form of altitude (height above the ground) and kinetic energy in the form of velocity.
How fast does a paramotor go?
Paramotoring (also known as powered paragliding) enables the pilot to take off from level ground unassisted and climb to altitude; there is no need to launch from a hill or high ground. Modern paramotors are capable of speeds up to 75km/h and can fly for several hours at a time.
How fast do powered paragliders go?
Powered paragliders usually fly between 15 to 50 mph (24 to 80 km/h) at altitudes from ‘foot-dragging’ up about to 18,000 ft (5,500 m) or more with certain permission.
Do hang gliders wear parachutes?
Pilots carry a parachute enclosed in the harness. In case of serious problems, the parachute is manually deployed (either by hand or with a ballistic assist) and carries both pilot and glider down to earth.
Can you hang glide anywhere?
Where can gliders launch and land? Pretty much any slope that is relatively free from obstructions, is steeper than about 6 to 1 and faces into the wind can be used to foot launch a hang glider.
How much do glider planes cost?
New, factory-built sailplanes may cost $50,000 to over $300,000 or more depending on performance, construction, and equipment.
What is the difference between a hang glider and a paraglider?
Whereas hang-gliders are rigid structures, consisting of sailcloth stretched over a metal frame, a paraglider consists simply of a paragliding harness suspended underneath a fabric wing.
Why are gliders white?
Fibreglass gliders are invariably painted white to minimise their skin temperature in sunlight. Fibreglass resin loses strength as its temperature rises into the range achievable in direct sun on a hot day.
Is Hang Gliding safer than skydiving?
Hang gliding is a high-risk sport that, if pursued carelessly, may either lead to minor injuries or death. Statistically speaking, hang gliding is safer than skydiving. However, both sports can be extremely dangerous especially if performed without proper knowledge and safety gear.
Can hang gliders go up?
Hang gliders gain altitude with the help of “lift” or the air moving upwards. Hang gliders use either ridge lift or thermal lift. Ridge lift sustains and helps increases altitude due to the rising air deflected by a ridge or a mountain.
Is there a weight limit for hang gliding?
Hang gliding tandems work a little differently, so typically passengers are restricted to 175 lbs (80 kgs, 12 stone) or less. … On most days, we are able to fly passengers comfortably up to about 225-235 lbs. | aerospace |

Capt. Mitchell Kieffer, and SSgt. Daniel Crane, after they competed in the AFA Cycling Classic.
In October of 2013, while attending a camp with AFW2 I had the honor of witnessing the announcement of the agreement that AFA will work closely with and support AFW2 in any way possible. At the same camp I witnessed AFA present a hand cycle to one very deserving Wounded Warrior; the look on his face when the announcement was made brought the biggest smile to my face. I was excited for that Airman because I knew that he would be able to progress in his healing and recovery with the use of the hand cycle presented to him.
Because of my previous experiences with AFW2 and AFA's Wounded Airman Program I was more than honored to be asked to take part in the 2014 Air Force Association Cycling Classic and to help promote and spread the word about the AFA's Wounded Airman Program. I cannot express enough how amazing the weekend was and how much gratification I felt by being a part of such an awesome event and even better, my daughter was able to experience much of the weekend with me as well.
She was able to be present during the Wounded Airman Panel discussion while two wounded airmen and I were asked to share our story and inform the public of the significance of the Wounded Airman Program. She was also able to be present during the Air Force Band Max Impact performance underneath the spires of the Air Force Memorial and during the presentation of the donation of $20,000 to the Air Force Association -- what a great memory that her and I will be able to share for the rest of our lives.
|Garcia and her daughter chat with Betty Welsh, |
wife of Chief of Staff of the Air Force General Mark Welsh.
The course was beautiful, we rode past the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, as well as through the Air Force Memorial; it was simply breathtaking. Two hours, twenty minutes and approximately 30 miles later my race was complete. I came across the finish line with nothing but a smile on my face and a sense of relief. Over the course of the two hours, and while riding past beautiful scenery, I was able to think about all of my nearly 3,400 other wounded ill and injured brothers and sisters; knowing that we have a program as great as the AFA's Wounded Airman Program on our side, in conjunction with the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, I was given a sense of relief, we are going to be just fine.

About AFA's Wounded Airman Program
AFA's Wounded Airman Program partners with the Air Force to help support more than 3,000 airmen who are seriously ill or injured. AFA helps where the DOD programs, TRICARE, and the VA fall short, providing direct financial assistance to wounded airmen and their caretakers. Our support isn't limited to financial assistance as AFA chapters around the country have visited airmen in hospitals, volunteered at adaptive sporting events like the Warrior Games, provided equipment and adapted lifestyle items, provided support for caregivers, and continue to look at ways to help wounded airmen and their families during transition.

At an altitude of around 53 kilometres, right at the cloud tops, the air pressure and temperature is much like that at Earth's surface. The air is not breathable, and there would still be the sulfuric acid clouds to deal with at times, but it is more than possible to construct suitable floating habitats for that region with our current technology. And because air we breath is much lighter than the atmosphere of Venus it makes an ideal lifting gas, much like helium does in our atmosphere. Some type of airship would be ideal as humans could live directly inside the aircraft's 'balloon'. It would make for a very spacious habitat. Something similar was proposed by Russia back in the 1970s, so this sort of thing has been discussed for decades.
It is plausible, affordable, and something that would be essential to diversify our habitats, and the lessons learnt would be invaluable when making colonisation attempts high in other atmospheres, such as those of gas giants.
Despite the extreme conditions on Venus, there is possibly some evidence that life of some sort may be down there. A Russian researcher has suggested that the Venera 13 lander photographed lifeforms that were disturbed by the lander's touchdown. Further lander missions should be sent to investigate his claims, and it seems such a mission could happen in the 2020s. I've recently discovered that Russia is planning to send a rover to Venus during that decade. I will be watching with great interest. | aerospace |

Quick-look data analysis demonstrated a strong pulsations with known period of 4.8 seconds.
Images of the X-ray pulsar Cen X-3 obtained with seven ART-XC telescope modules.The location of the images corresponds to the location of the telescope modules. Bottom panel: the pulse profile of Cen X-3 folded with the period of about 4.8 s, registered by the ART-XC telescope from this source.
More detailed investigations will be later presented in official press release.
Last, but not the least, there is a little film, showing how brightness of the pulsar changes – through the eyes of ART-XC
During the last few days Spectrum-RG spacecraft was observed by many Russian optical telescopes. These observations are needed to improve SRG orbit parameters measurements. The improved orbital solution will allow to apply more accurate orbit correction, which is planned on July 22. More accurate orbit correction will allow to save fuel aboard SRG spacecraft during its fly to the second Lagrange point (L2) of the Sun-Earth system. In future it will help to extend the mission lifetime.
These optical observations were done with Russian-Turkish 1.5-m telescope, Zeiss-1000 of Special Astrophysical Observatory of RAS, 1.6-m Sayan observatory telescope of Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of SB RAS, 0.6-m telescope of Institute of Astronomy of RAS at Terskol observatory, telescopes of Crimean Astrophysical Observatory and others.
The SRG spacecraft is now located at the distance about 700 km from the Earth, in the direction of Aquila constellation and is moving to the Lagrange L2 point with the velocity around 800 m/s relative to Earth.
The first passage of the Spectr-RG space observatory over the territory of Russia from 21:18 to 02:40 MSK was observed by the head of the Kuban State University Observatory (KubSU) Alexander Ivanov with a 254 mm / 1200 mm Maksutov–Cassegrain telescope installed at the KubSU observatory. The video shows the passage of the upper stage DM-03 and the Spektr-RG observatory, moving along the constellation Vulpecula, a densely populated part of the Milky Way:

John McFall will become the world’s first disabled astronaut after being selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to join its training programme.
The British Paralympian will take part in the space training corps, with the hope that he can become the first disabled person to go into space.
Joining the ESA class of 2022 astronauts is John McFall, from the United Kingdom, as an astronaut with a physical disability. #ESAastro2022
— ESA (@esa) November 23, 2022
Charity Scope said that having more disabled people in influential roles will “break down barriers” for others.
Alison Kerry, head of communications at Scope, said: “This is a major leap forward.
“Every project, from building a website to training to be an astronaut should include and consider disabled people right from the very beginning.
“If we did this, our society would be much more accessible to everyone.
“Better representation of disabled people in influential roles will really help improve attitudes and break down the barriers that many disabled people face today.”
Mr McFall, 41, lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident when he was 19 but went on to become a professional track and field athlete.
He represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the Paralympics – winning a bronze medal at the Beijing Paralympic Games in 2008.
The ESA said that Mr McFall was selected to take part in its parastronaut feasibility project to “improve our understanding of, and overcome, the barriers space flight presents for astronauts with a physical disability”.
Mr McFall is also a medical doctor and is currently studying for his Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) exams. | aerospace |

Microsoft joined the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center as a founding member, according to announcements published by both organizations Wednesday expressing their collective goals are to assist in the protection of America’s digital assets beyond Earth.
Microsoft is expanding its role in the aerospace industry, through a partnership. Microsoft announced Azure Orbital in 2020 to link satellite networks with the Azure cloud. Microsoft also has revealed partnerships with Amergint Technologies, Kratos, KSAT, Kubos, SES, Thales Alenia Space, U.S. Electrodynamics, and ViaSat.
ISACs is a membership-based organization that includes industry, academia, and other non-governmental organizations to work together to gather information on the risks to critical infrastructure. They often have the support of the Government, and act as a bridge between the public and private sectors. The organization is the United States’ only space-dedicated ISAC.
“Space cybersecurity is relatively unknown territory because we’re approaching and doing some things for the first time, fortunately through Space ISAC we have the opportunity to build a foundation for protection from a knowledge pool with deep security expertise,” Frank Backes, chair of the Space ISAC board of directors and Kratos Space Federal senior vice president said in a statement. “Microsoft brings its longstanding history of proficiency in cybersecurity to its role as a founding member including its experience detecting and stopping attacks and eliminating persistent threats which bring clear value to our membership.”
Space ISAC is also part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Space Systems Critical Infrastructure Working Group, publicly unveiled in May.
Microsoft invests over $1 billion annually in cybersecurity and has a team of more than 3,500 global security experts across 77 countries.
Microsoft joins the Space ISSAC as one of the founders of the company, together with the Aerospace Corp., Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Booz Allen Hamilton, MITRE, SES, Lockheed Martin, Parsons Corp., Purdue University, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, Utah State University’s Space Dynamics Laboratory and Northrop Grumman.

MISSION. Flying the C-130D aircraft from Greenland to Vietnam, the air crews of the 17th Tactical Airlift Squadron completed an accident free flying year in 1967. The mission of the 17th is to provide air logistical support for Dew Line East on the Greenland Ice Cap; air search, rescue, and aero-medical evacuation for Greenland and Alaska; tactically qualified air crews for Army-Air Force operations; special weapons movement; support of remote sites in Alaska; and special missions as directed by the Alaskan Air Command. The special missions included a project in the combat zone of Vietnam, and airlifting the Vice President of the United States and other dignitaries.
2. OPERATIONAL TASKS. The ski-equipped C-130D of the 17th TAS provides the only means of support for the radar sites on the Greenland Ice Cap. Ice fog, low clouds, and frequent high winds that constantly rearrange the landing surface are serious hazards to this operation. Normal ski take-off procedures require that lift-off be accomplished 15 knots below minimum control speed and 25 knots below power off stall speed. Therefore, the flight handbook states that normal safety factors must be disregarded and ski operations be considered a calculated risk. The only instrument approach available is a precision airborne radar approach. Adapting grid navigation procedures the navigator furnishes exact range, alignment, and altitude for landing with visibility's as low as one mile. This procedure is severely hampered because the radar altimeter penetrates the snow to varying depths during the approach, and accurate pressure altimeter settings are not available. Take-offs are even more critical. The aircraft frequently encounters 2 to 3 G forces during the take-off slide. Summer snow conditions create a cohesive bond and often require numerous take-off attempts, eventually with JATO, before becoming airborne. Further complications result from the loss of approximately 25% of the engines power at the 8,000 fool level altitude of these sites. Since July 1961, over 4,000 of these takeoffs and landings have been executed without a serious mishap.
The 17th TAS supports 13 Alaskan sites in mountainous areas with short gravel strips classified as marginal. Typical statements from the Alaskan Enroute Supplement stipulate go-around improbable for 8 sites, gradients of 4% to 11% for 4, serious turbulence when wind exceeds 15 knots at 6, and daylight operations only for all sites. During the severely cold Alaskan winters, take-off performance and instrumentation are drastically changed. In each case, extreme caution must be used during the critical maximum performance procedures required in these areas. The low powered radio ranges utilized for instrument approaches to the sites demand constant vigilance and perfect crew coordination.
A continuous search-rescue, and aero-medical evacuation capability is maintained in Alaska and Greenland. The terrain is these areas is extremely rugged and mountainous. Accurate maps are non-existent in many cases. This task was further complicated by night emergency evacuations. In 1967, the 17th flew 116 rescue sorties, many during the extremely hazardous arctic winter. The safe execution of these rescues required outstanding crew coordination, superior ability and professional execution.
Air crews of the 17th provide the only tactically qualified airlift crews within the Alaskan Air Command. Mountainous terrain borders all the low level routes and the available drop zones are extremely small. Chinook winds and unpredictable air currents caused by the nearby mountains add to the hazards involved in air drops. Yet, during the many training flights and joint operations, no accidents, injuries, or off drop zone incidents were reported. This outstanding success is attributed to the fact that the 17th is assigned its own Combat Control Team allowing more intensive training, closer coordination, and a self-sustaining operation between air crews and controllers.
3. OUTSTANDING MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Project Turnkey. In April
1967, Headquarters USAF directed Alaskan Air Command to furnish
C-130 and 17th TAS crews to support Project Turnkey in Southeast
Asia. Turnkey is a new concept whereby an Air Force contractor
provides the design and engineering, mobilizes in the United States,
and "goes over the beach" to build an Air Base. For
the 17th crews, Turnkey combined the challenge of short field
operations with the hazards of combat. The deployment from the
arctic to the tropics truly tested the world-wide capability of
the unit. The importance of this project and the excellent geographic
transition of the crews made the safe and successful completion
of this mission outstanding.

Ice Cap Rescues. In March, a civilian aircraft crash-landed 300 NM east of Sondrestom AB. The uninjured pilot was located after dark and supplies were air dropped for his survival. Returning the next day, the crew found that snow covered crevasses and deep drifts made the selection of a suitable landing area very difficult. A safe landing was accomplished, however, during taxi one of the main skis became wedged in a hidden crevasse. After a delay and conscientious recovery effort by the crew, the aircraft was freed and returned to Sondrestrom AB. A second civilian aircraft crashed and disintegrated in the same area in August. This accident resulted in one death and two seriously injured flyers. Following another successful rescue effort death appeared eminent for of the survivors. His injuries required immediate medical attention not available onboard the aircraft. Contact with a doctor was made via HF radio at Sondrestrom. Following the doctor's instructions, the crew administered oxygen which saved the man's life. The 17th TAS had again answered the call to save human life and responding with a rapid, professional, and safely executed mission.
Blue Ice. This seismic noise study was conducted approximately 400 NM east of Thule AB, Greenland. Cold temperatures and varying winds made snow evaluation and surface operations extremely difficult. The powdery, dry snow could not be packed and full engine power was frequently required for taxi operations. A series of open snow landings were required without previous surface survey and no targets for airborne radar returns. After careful airborne evaluation of the surface and a suitable landing area was selected, the aircraft was flown on the snow with a minimum rate of descent. This operation required the highest degree of pilot skill and judgment and was completed without incident.
Mt. McKinley Drop. On 29 July 1967, the 17th TAS accomplished the highest known PLADS drop in Air Force history. The task was to airdrop supplies to a mountain rescue party at the 19,000 foot level of Mt. McKinley. The job would be done by PLADS (Parachute Low Altitude Delivery System, but oxygen requirements, aircraft maneuverability, gusty winds, and keeping clear of the steep mountain walls greatly complicated the drop. Carefully rigging the load and planning the delivery, the crew knew that pinpoint accuracy would be required on the narrow pass where the team was camped. Three drops were made, and each one was on target for another unusual, life sustaining, and outstanding mission.
Fairbanks Flood. The city of Fairbanks, Alaska, was declared a national disaster area following the severe flood in August, 1967. All utilities were disrupted, most of the city was under water and completely isolated. The runway at the municipal airport remained above the flood waters and was the only link to the outside. The intensified rescue effort, crowded facilities, and marginal traffic control made operations particularly hazardous. In response to an emergency airlift request, the 17th Tactical Airlift Squadron flew 112 sorties airlifting over one million pounds of urgently needed supplies in one week. These missions were completed without incident and the urgency, conditions, and results marked the operation as outstanding.
EDITOR'S NOTE: My last flight with the 17th TAS was made in support of this mission. Being the crew on alert, Harold Martin and I were called out late at night to fly the first load of materials into Fairbanks. Upon arrival and unloading, we asked the loadmaster to describe the cargo. He told us that we had brought a load of large water pumps. The conversation then centered around just where water could be pumped to, since everything appeared to be under water Nolan Bailey.
4. INCIDENT REVIEW.
In spite of the extremely hazardous flying conditions, complexity,
and diversity of the mission, the 17th TAS has flown a total of
41,480 accident free hours in the past 6.5 years. The last major
accident occurred on July 20, 1961, during a ski takeoff on the
Greenland Ice Cap. In 1967, the 17th flew 5,040 hours and experienced
only four incidents, all of which were attributed to material
Flying experience is only one of several factors that unite to make the Flying Safety Record of the 17th TAS impressive. Seasoned crews plus Command supervision and a vitalized flying safety program are the winning combination that produces safety of operation and mission accomplishment.
5. UNIT FLYING SAFETY PROGRAM.
The 17th Flying Safety Program is dynamic and pragmatic because
it combines the strict adherence to established procedures and
standards with a keen interest in new problems and their ultimate
solution. Several unique features of the program are:
The flying safety program of the 17th Tactical Airlift Squadron
works and the accident free record proves this statement. Encountering
hazardous situations from Greenland to Vietnam, the crews applied
safety and standardization procedures with outstanding success.
The 17th flying safety program incorporates established methods
and original thinking that meet not only the squadron needs but
offer adaptable techniques to all USAF flying units. This combination
of programs and personnel eminently qualifies the 17th TAS for
the Flying Safety Award and nomination for the Columbian Trophy.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Governor Mary Fallin today signed into law a bill extending tax incentives to employers and employees in the aerospace industry. Senate Bill 120 will extend the sunset date on the aerospace engineer employee and employer tax credit and the employer credit for tuition reimbursement until Jan. 1, 2026. The credits were scheduled to expire Jan. 1, 2018.
“This legislation will help us to attract and retain new business and retain the great jobs made available by industry giants like Boeing and American Airlines,” said Fallin. “The aerospace engineer tax credit has helped to create hundreds of new, high-paying jobs for skilled Oklahomans. It’s also played a key role in maintaining Oklahoma’s position as an internationally recognized hub for aerospace business.”
More than 1,100 aerospace-related companies are in Oklahoma, with more than 120,000 workers employed in aerospace and defense-related industries. Oklahoma’s aerospace and defense industries generate more than $27 billion in sales annually.
Fallin said extending the aerospace engineers tax credit will provide an additional economic boost to the state and the industry.
Sen. Kim David, the author of the legislation, said extending the aerospace engineers tax credit will provide an additional economic boost to the state and the industry.
“As policymakers, we’re always searching for programs that can help grow and diversify our economy,” said David, R-Porter, who is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “The aerospace engineers tax credit has been a tremendous catalyst for growth in the sector, helping our state attract and retain high-paying engineering jobs.
“The state of Oklahoma is poised for even more economic growth and job expansion in the aerospace industry in part due to the program, and I’m proud to author the legislation to expand this successful program. I appreciate the Legislature for passing this bill, and Governor Fallin for signing it into law.”
Rep. Scott Fetgatter, House sponsor of SB 120, said the aerospace engineers tax credit is one of the best tax credits that Oklahoma offers.
“For every dollar that we spend on these credits, we are getting two dollars back, said Fetgatter, R-Okmulgee. “This is smart legislation, and if we had more programs like the aerospace tax credits, our state would be in much better fiscal shape.” | aerospace |

India is expected to spend over USD 100 billion within the next decade to acquire the latest defence equipments. Traditionally, the needs of the armed forces have been met by global players. However, this has been a major burner to the restricted defence budget of India.
A major chunk of this is concentrated towards modernising the Indian Air Force (IAF), which is the fourth largest air force in the world. The Air Force’s plans to rapidly modernise its fleet has come as a blessing to the country’s aerospace, with business projections being pegged at over $ 50 billions.
From manufacturing a monoplane, to designing and developing, the lightest 4th generation fighter aircraft, Indian aerospace industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Today, the country’s aerospace industry has firmly fortified its position in the global arena and is expected to breach the US $ 10 billion mark by 2020.
The beginnings of the Indian aerospace industry dates back to 1940 when Walchand Hirachand set-up the Hindustan Aircraft at Bangalore. The corporation started with a modest history of building and overhauling monoplanes. History was written in golden words for the Indian aerospace industry when a Hindustan Aircraft Ltd built ‘Curtiss Hawk P36’ took to skies on 31st July 1942.
With the onset of the World War II, the establishment was taken over by the allied forces. Hindustan Aircraft was given a major infrastructural boost. Over the course of the war, it was converted to a mega aircraft overhauling centre by the allied forces. The organisation became one of the biggest aircraft overhauling centres in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Soon after independence the organisation was taken over by the Indian government. The evolving Asian arms race meant India had to master the complex weapon manufacturing cycles to meet the needs of its armed forces. India set up multiple state-run Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) corporations to promote defence manufacturing industrial bases. These PSU’s were designated as manufacturing hubs and they were to be supported by DRDO laboratories.
Hindustan Aircraft was merged with various aeronautical organisations and the present Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) was formed in 1964 as PSU solely responsible for meeting the aviation requirements of the forces. HAL was thus put in–charge of shaping the aeronautical sector of India.
Under the leadership of Kurt Tank, designers and engineers at HAL rolled out India’s aerospace showpiece the ‘Marut HF-241 Supersonic’ fighter aircraft. The design phase for the aircraft began around 1956 and was extensively supported by HAL’s in-house R&D centres. The aircraft made its debut flight on 17th June 1961 and this signalled India’s major leap into the complex aerospace world.
A total of 140 ‘Marut HF-241’ fighter aircraft were built. The aircraft played a vital role in the fierce 1971 Indo-Pak war and won ‘three Vir-Chakras’ for the Indian Air Force. International sanctions imposed upon India after ‘Smiling Buddha’ – India’s first nuclear test – ruptured the global logistics supply chain of the program and this finally ended the Marut era in India.
The haunting ghost of a two front war scenario forced India to boost its war preparedness level. In an effort to boost the capabilities of its air force, India concluded a deal for the MiG-21 fighter aircraft with the Russians. Accordingly, India started locally manufacturing the MiG 21 fighter aircraft under a licence agreement from 1963. The MiG-21’s throttled on to become the backbone of the IAF and obliterated enemy aircraft in ensuing air battles.
By 70’s, Indian aerospace industry was thriving with activity. Aeronautical establishments were working with zeal to put India on the global map. In July 1970, HAL started the helicopter division to locally manufacture rotary aircraft. Under this division, India mass produced the French-origin Chetak and Cheetah helicopters. To date, these copters serve the armed forces at some of the most inhospitable conditions.
HAL apart from this also started setting up dedicated Research and Development (R&D) centres throughout the country. These centres were aimed at meeting the increasing technological demands of the armed forces. These centres were manned by some of the most intellectual brains and gave path blazing technologies. HAL also concentrated on setting up vast Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) bases which have overhauled countless aircraft of the IAF.
The country’s aeronautical outreach was being defined by the tedious Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreements. Engineers and strategic planners had for long advocated of mastering the complex technologies by building in-house developmental centres. With the MiG-21’s nearing their shelf life, India stared at the prospectus of locally manufacturing a fighter aircraft. HAL had acquired substantial knowledge during the Marut project.
India’s aeronautical industry entered into a new era when India decided to indigenously design and develop a fighter aircraft. Thus conceived was the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) program that would propel India to the world arena. The Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), an independent developmental authority, was set-up as the lead design and developer for the LCA program. DRDO – India’s premier defence research and development agency, spruced up its laboratories throughout the country. Dedicated aeronautical institutions were set-up in and across Bengaluru, the aerospace capital of India.
The LCA program came as a blessing to the dwindling aerospace industry in the country and substantially boosted the R&D and manufacturing facilities. Developmental works for Tejas began in 1990 when HAL, ADA and other partners signed a MoU. Simultaneously, HAL under its thriving helicopter division started the development of the indigenously developed Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) which made its debut flight on 30th August 1992.
HAL Dhruv entered service in 2002 and is considered one of HAL’s most successful product. Dhruv was inducted in large numbers and went on to serve in the hostile ‘Siachen Glacier’. The ALH was exported to Nepal, Israel and Ecuador. The copter has clocked over 140,000 hours and serving with the Sarang aerobatics team of the IAF, it has been a showpiece of India’s aerospace might.
The first aircraft under the LCA program designated ‘TD-1’ was dedicated to the nation in December 1995. The country had successfully designed and developed a supersonic combat aircraft. Battering all the hurdles, the indigenously mastered ‘LCA Tejas’ took to skies on 4th January 2001. India’s aerospace industry had throttled to its pinnacle. The aircraft put up a spectacular 20 minute flight. Every flight Tejas made was a new learning experience to the aeronautical fraternity. Tejas underwent extensive up-gradations and had completed its 100th flight by September 2003. Tejas was helping India carefully conquer the brazen heights.
Till date, Tejas has clocked over 4000 hours and has remarkably flown without a single negative incident. The maiden squadron of the aircraft was raised with two aircraft by the IAF in 2016 and this has set a new tone in Air Force’s acquisition model.
One of the most significant milestone events in the country’s aerospace industry came when the Indian government based on the recommendations of the ‘Kelkar committee’ opened up the aerospace industry to the private sector. It was a major boost to the maturing industry and this has helped to source the best technology to be sourced in for indigenous programs.
Further, the introduction of the offsets clauses also paved the way for investments from Foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). The technology they imparted to Indian manufacturers has revolutionised the industry.
Indian giants like Tata Group, Mahindra and Mahindra and the state-owned HAL corporation created partnerships with these global giants. This paved the way for the concept of ‘transnational companies’ to be set-up in India. Boeing and Airbus were working towards making India a hub for MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) activities. Airbus ratified its agreement with HAL for manufacturing various components for the ‘A320’ jets.
OEM’s were aiming to increase the work share to drastically reduce the manufacturing cost. The core competence base of India received a major boost when international vendors flooded the industry with the latest technology. Using India’s IT sector, aero-models, simulators, critical software systems and various other computer components were manufactured. Honeywell concentrated on boosting the R&D sector and inducted two research centres.
The defence aerospace sector has truly evolved around the ToT agreements. India’s contract with Irkut and Sukhoi of Russia to acquire the Su-30 MKI air superiority fighter aircraft has provided the country with capabilities to assemble and manufacture a highly-advanced 4-generation heavy fighter indigenously.
While initially, HAL produced these aircraft from Semi-Knocked Down (SKD) kits. Gradually, the production cycle moved on to the more complex Completely Knocked Down (CKD) kit stage. Overtime, the corporation has mastered the production cycle of these jets and the Su-30’s are currently being manufactured in India from basic raw materials. HAL has rolled out 245+ Su-30 aircraft till date and has successfully absorbed the technology.
HAL has also successfully mastered the ToT for Jaguar deep penetration fighter aircraft and ‘BAE Hawk’ trainer aircraft. HAL has built more than 90+ Hawk aircraft till date.
The Light Combat Helicopter (LCH) and the future of the LCA program is being termed as true public-private partnership.
To boost the civilian aerospace sector, HAL has been relentlessly working with NAL – India’s only civilian aerospace laboratory. HAL and NAL aim to revolutionize the civilian aerospace sector by developing regional aircraft. The corporations have developed Saras and Hansa civilian aircraft. Unfortunately success with these programs have been limited. HAL and NAL now aim to build inter-regional aircraft with the support of international vendors.
‘LCA Tejas’ has emerged as one of the best fighter aircraft in the world. Composite structures used in designing the aircraft have made it possible to build the lightest combat aircraft. Tejas was inducted into the air force in January 2015 after attaining its second airworthiness certification – IOC-II. The aircraft is majestically throttling towards the all crucial FOC phase and by July, 2019 the aircraft will be available for active duty.
India is allowing 100% FDI for setting up MRO centres, flying training schools and technology training centres. This move coupled with the largely available skilled labour base has successfully stimulated the aerospace industry. Global vendors have drastically increased the work share with Indian partners and this has helped India to make a mark in the global logistics supply chain. HAL today produces almost half of the Airbus A-320 forward passenger doors. HCL, Infosys and Wipro are leading software solution providers for Airbus and Boeing.
Tata Advanced Systems, Mahindra Aerospace and Aequs are leading Tier-1 designers and manufacturers of aero structures. Tata Advanced Systems is a leading partner of Boeing and is producing various aeronautical systems. Larsen & Toubro, India’s leading defence equipment manufacturer is working closely with European companies. More than 2000 small and medium aerospace enterprises are working towards making India a self reliant aerospace power.
HAL has evolved to a world-class aerospace organization. It is ranked the 34th best aeronautical institution in the world. A key part in HAL’s success story is the 19 highly advanced production divisions.
These centres are supported by 9 Research and Development (R&D) centres. HAL has successfully developed 12 types of aircraft and has mastered the production of over 14 types of aircraft under licence production. HAL caters to almost 80% of the IAF’s maintenance requirements. The corporation has a vendor base of 2,500 Tier 2 and Tier 3 companies. The company having sales over USD 3 billion is one of the largest aeronautical companies in the Asian market.
The Indian aerospace industry has drastically evolved from its modest history of producing a monoplane to designing and developing the world’s lightest combat aircraft. Marut HF-24 – India’s first supersonic fighter aircraft was built in a record time of 14 years. Every Airbus or Boeing aircraft being produced today is partly made in India. Various private industries have redefined the reach of India’s aerospace capabilities. Catalysts to India’s growth are the private industries and the government should make renewed efforts in promoting MSME’s. The Indian aerospace industry is expected to outwit every other regional competitor and emerge as the world’s largest industry by 2022. | aerospace |

PI: Andrew Johnson, NASA JPL
PI: Andrew Johnson, NASA JPL
The Fuel Optimal and Accurate Landing System Test Flights (FOALS) is a ruggedized payload that performs real-time terrain relative navigation together with fuel optimal large divert guidance for closed loop real-time testing on a vertical take-off and landing testbed. FOALS requests two flights aboard the Masten Space Systems VTLV vehicle Xombie to demonstrate a complete pin-point descent and landing system for planetary landers and to advance the technology to TRL 6.
Paper at Space2015: Flight testing of terrain-relative navigation and large-divert guidance on a VTVL rocket
- TA04 Robotics, Tele-Robotics and Autonomous Systems
- TA09 Entry, Descent and Landing Systems
Pin-point landing (<100m touchdown error 3-sigma) has been identified as a high priority Entry Descent and Landing technology by the NASA Space Technology Roadmaps (TA-09) and in the subsequent NRC Report “Restoring NASA’s Edge and Paving the Way for a New Era in Space.” It has also been identified for near term development in recent reports focused on Mars exploration including the 2012 Mars Program and Planning Group report and the 2012 End-to-End International Science Advisory Group for Mars Sample Return report. Pin-point landing is a high priority for future missions because it enables landing in scientifically interesting but hazardous terrain on the moon, Mars, and moons of the outer planets. The two technologies enabling pinpoint landing under development at JPL are Terrain Relative Navigation (TRN) and Guidance for Fuel Optimal Large Diverts (G-FOLD). With a successful closed loop flight test, there is high likelihood that the Mars 2020 mission will adopt these technologies and use them in the loop during EDL to enable access to the challenging landing sites required for Mars Sample Return.
The state of the art at JPL for terrain relative navigation is the Lander Vision System (LVS) being developed by the Mars Technology Program. The LVS is a bolt-on smart sensor system made entirely from parts that have a clear path to flight qualification. The FOALS technology demonstration payload will be a ruggedized and compact version of the existing prototype LVS computing and sensing hardware with the TRN and G-FOLD software installed and integrated.
Current LVS TRL is 4.
G-FOLD is an onboard guidance algorithm and software package that enables landers to perform the large, powered-descent diverts necessary for pinpoint landing, multipoint landing (in which a vehicle selects from many pre-specified targets), and returning to launch pads (e.g., for sub-orbital reusable launch vehicles). G-FOLD was successfully executed onboard the Masten Space Systems VTLV vehicle Xombie during the summer of 2013, advancing its TRL to 5 (T0068-S).
LVS and GFOLD are being integrated into a single payload under the JPL-funded project ADAPT (Autonomous Ascent and Descent Powered-Flight Testbed). ADAPT’s end product will be a standalone payload that performs the new navigation and guidance functions required for pin-point landing. The two flight tests requested in this AFO will advance the technology to TRL 6.

But due to the encouragement and support from the Govt, as well as the relentless hard work of the scientists and staff of our space organization ISRO, another sequential project Chandrayaan-3 was conceived and the spacecraft was sent to the south pole region of the Moon to explore the presence of water and other important life elements in that unexplored region.
Chandrayaan-3 has already collected a good amount of data from the Moon's surface in the region near the south pole and that will be shared with space scientists across the world laboratories who will study it and more information about the Moon will be available soon.
Other countries like the US, Russia, and China have sent their spacecraft to the Moon in the past but they so far landed near the equatorial regions far from the Moon's poles, and from that perspective India's Chandrayaan-3 is the first of its kind.
This success of India can be attributed to its willingness to learn from failures and make efforts to comeback to glory.

Is there life on Mars? NASA researcher John Mather, awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2006 for mapping the traces of the first light emitted by the young universe, believes that where there’s water, there’s likely to be life. And he thinks that the chances of finding water on Mars are high - so reasons that signs of life on the planet may well be found, and during our lifetime too. In this conversation he also discusses how the new James Webb Space Telescope, ready for launch 2018, will provide a deeper look into space, even allowing us to detect the presence of water on planets orbiting suns other than our own. | aerospace |

In August 2018, the Navy awarded The Boeing Company the contract to configure nine F/A-18E and two F/A-18F aircraft to the standard Blue Angels' aircraft structure and modify to accommodate the team’s unique needs. One of the key items of that installation is the oil tank storage system. Summit Aviation was awarded the first contract for the tank systems in October 2018. The system is employed during the flight to pump a special oil back through the jet’s engine to produce the air show smoke that helps onlookers follow the team’s path through the sky while demonstrating its aerobatic maneuvers.
“The Navy’s Blue Angels are legendary,” said Director of Manufacturing for Summit Aviation Scott Roush. “We are extremely proud Boeing has chosen Summit Aviation to help support this impressive program.”
Summit is providing a total of 18 units through its manufacturing facilities in Somerset, Kentucky and Kernersville, North Carolina. | aerospace |

AkzoNobel’s Aerobase Basecoat/Clearcoat system was chosen to protect and enhance not only the first of the new Airbus Aircraft to arrive, but also all future deliveries.
Already working with Xiamen Airlines for its Boeing aircraft, AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings won the new contract in a competitive tender, perfectly matching the airline’s striking blue color scheme. The first aircraft features a special message to the right of the front passenger door that states simply: ‘First Airbus for Xiamenair.’
The aircraft was painted at Airbus’ facility in Hamburg, where the entire A320 jetliner family program is managed. The Aerobase Basecoat/Clearcoat system was chosen for its proven ability to maintain brightness in colour and significantly prolong the durability of the decorative paintwork. Longevity of the livery brand image also reduces the need for maintenance over the life-cycle of the in-service aircraft.
Xiamen Airlines flies more than 40 million passengers each year, operating around 350 domestic and international routes to cover the whole of China and large parts of southeast and northeast Asia. It also flies to Europe, the US and Oceania and currently has more than 200 aircraft in its fleet.
Nicole Hu, Sales Manager (South China) of AkzoNobel Aerospace Coatings says that the introduction of the A321neo is a significant milestone for Xiamen, and for AkzoNobel: “While we have worked with the Xiamen Airlines’ team before, we never take anything for granted. We are delighted that the quality and durability of the Aerobase finish is being recognised as a reflection of the quality and reliability of the Airline, and the quality and reliability of the aircraft it protects.”
Airbus announced a firm order from Xiamen for 40 A321neo aircraft at the end of last year, which at the time made the Chinese airline the company’s newest Airbus customer. The A321neo family incorporates new generation engines and Sharklets, which together deliver more than 25 percent fuel and CO2 savings, as well as a 50 percent noise reduction. The agreement was announced by the major shareholder China Southern Airlines to the Shanghai Stock exchange. | aerospace |

Technical Report. National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore, India.Full text not available from this repository.
This project involved development of a method to predict the fatigue crack propagation process in thin-walled aircraft structural components under flight-by-flight loading. Extensive experimental test results provided the input for software development. They yielded evidence pointing to the complex nature of crack growth under spectrum loading and also provided the basis for procedures adopted for life prediction. A simple engineering method is proposed for estimating fatigue crack propagation life under random loading. Predictions are based on test data obtained under constant amplitude loading.Prediction accuracy favourably compares with that of available techniques. Computation time is extremely small, enabling the use of desktop computer for life predictions.

By the time of our trip, the routing had changed to Houston-Frankfurt-Berlin in Lufthansa first class on the A380, returning Berlin-Frankfurt-Dallas, also in Lufthansa first class. The outbound was unbelievable. I have not flown a lot of international first but Lufthansa’s A380 first class is now my favorite “hard” product flying. The crew was stellar, providing prompt service and making sure that everyone on-board did not have any needs that were not met. The return longhaul flight was close to being a polar opposite.
Between Frankfurt and Dallas Lufthansa operates the Airbus A330-300. These particular planes, the ones based in Frankfurt, are just now undergoing conversion for the new first class seats. I knew this when I booked the tickets but ignored it because we needed to get home. Seats aside, the service from the crew was a 180 degree difference from what we experienced on the way to Germany. One flight attendant was attentive and helpful but the one who spent the most time in the cabin was as nonchalant and lackadaisical as they come. After lunch I had asked that the seat be made into a bed so that I could take a nap. The flight attendant put the seat into “lounge” mode rather than “flat” mode and kind of just tossed the mattress pad onto it. She didn’t take the time to make the bed or even get out the pillow and blanket. I searched through the overhead bin and found both. To top it all off, the food choices were not very good and the food itself was actually of poor quality (surprising since the flight was catered in Frankfurt).
One last thing. In Dallas, our flight was met by a Lufthansa representative holding a sign with a few passenger names. We saw our name and stopped to speak with her, thinking maybe we’d get taken to a quicker immigration line. She asked if we had checked luggage and said we would wait for a couple more passengers. After more standing around, the representative turns to me and remarks, “I can’t escort you to an expedited immigration line, you might as well go”. Well that’s a let down. What is this person’s role? To simply see if you have checked bags and put them to the side so you don’t have to wait for the carousel?
To be clear, I understand how fortunate I was to be flying in first class. I was simply a little surprised in the contrast between my outbound flight and the return. The flight crews were on opposite ends of the service spectrum. Had I known the service was going to be so poor, I probably would have saved the miles for first and just flown in business class. Will this keep me from flying Lufthansa again? No. Their A380 product out of Houston is certainly one of the best first class experiences in the sky. I file the whole experience under the crew having a bad day and the catering just being off. In the world of travel this is one of those, “sometimes you just have to realize you’re hurtling through the air in a metal tube” moments. It happens. It makes for a less than desirable experience but there is always the next flight. | aerospace |

Enshrouded in a dense golden hydrocarbon mist, Saturn's largest moon Titan is a mysterious mesmerizing world in its own right. For centuries, Titan's veiled, frigid surface was completely camouflaged by this hazy golden-orange cloud-cover that hid its icy surface from the prying eyes of curious observers on Earth. However, this misty moisty moon-world was finally forced to show its mysterious face, long-hidden behind its obscuring veil of fog, when the Cassini Spacecraft's Huygens Probe landed on its surface in 2004, sending revealing pictures back to astronomers on Earth. In September 2018, astronomers announced that new data obtained from Cassini show what appear to be gigantic, roaring dust storms, raging through the equatorial regions of Titan. The discovery, announced in the September 24, 2018 issue of the journal Nature Geoscience, makes this oddball moon-world the third known object in our Solar System--in addition to Earth and Mars--where ferocious dust storms have been observed. The observations are now shedding new light on the fascinating and dynamic environment of Titan, which is the second largest moon in our Solar System, after Ganymede of Jupiter.
In fact, it may be much more reasonable to suppose that the American government's real capabilities in space exceed anything we have heard about, or can easily believe.

The astronomers found that larger craters, which excavated pits much deeper into the Moon's surface, only increased porosity in the underlying crust. This indicates that these deeper layers have not reached a steady state in porosity, and are not as fractured as the megaregolith.

Aboard the Perseverance is my name, "Scott Stoll," engraved on a silicon chip. Does that make me an astronaut? Are dreams written in stone — or silicon? Can Martians read?
You can visit Mars right from your own home or backyard in more ways than one. Yes! Seriously.
Here is an easy backyard adventure that I have done 3 times already. You can easily spot the International Space Station flying overhead. It looks a lot like a fast airplane except that's a lot higher and traveling thousands of miles an hour.
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to stand on Mars? Now you don't have to thanks to this month's featured Argonaut, the Curiosity Rover. Stand on Mars in this virtual reality panoramic image.
Sometimes Scott Stoll dreams of that first day on Mars. He steps outside, the rusty red rocks kicking up a fine dust beneath his feet. He is in an extra-terrestrial bowl surrounded by an eroded rim that rises gently on the horizon, forming the lip of a vast crater.
The good news is that I won't have to eat worms and algae for the rest of my life; the bad news is that I failed to qualify for the next round of Mars One.
As kids, we all dream of blasting off in a rocket ship headed for other worlds. Perhaps it was the romance of discovery or the desire to escape.
When my girlfriend found out I qualified to be a Martian astronaut she wasn't supportive. "Honey, just think, we could have the first Martian babies ever!" and other funny things people say.
705 Mars astronaut candidates remain for the Mars One mission to colonize Mars. Scott Stoll is one of them. It's a one-way trip.
In case you didn't hear, I made round 2.5 of the Mars One project and my quest to be the first person to bicycle two planets. Listen to my NPR interview.
10 years later and this is still the most amazing image I have ever seen, the most faraway reaches of our universe ever photographed. In this tiny pinprick of one of the darkest regions of the sky, are 10,000 galaxies.
I am one of the 297 people selected from the United States, half which are woman and about 75 in my age group. I am excited to be part of this! Even in a thousand years everyone will remember the first trip to Mars. | aerospace |

This decision means that mobiles could be used once a plane has reached an altitude of 3,000m or more.
Airlines keen to offer the services must still satisfy other regulators.
The decision to offer the services now falls to individual airlines. However, there are other regulatory hurdles to overcome before the technology is considered to be fully approved.
The European Aviation Safety Agency needs to approve any hardware that would be installed in aircraft to ensure that it did not interfere with other flight systems.
How does the system work?
In addition, said a spokesman for the UK's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), airlines would need to develop operating procedures to ensure cabin crew were trained in the proper use of the systems.
The spokesman said the CAA knew many airlines had expressed interest in offering such services but added: "None have formally approached us yet."
"It's down to the airlines to decide whether they want to fit the systems then they would have to get approval for that," he said.
The plan is to install small mobile phone base stations, called pico cells, in aircraft that will be switched on after take-off. The base station generates a bubble of coverage in and around the aircraft.
Calls made via the pico cell will be routed to terrestrial networks via satellite link. Across Europe radio spectrum has been set aside for the technology.
The services could stop working once aircraft leave European airspace.
Initially, only second generation networks will be offered but growing interest would mean that third generation, or 3G, services would follow later, said Ofcom.
The cost of making a mobile phone call from a plane will be higher than making one from the ground. | aerospace |

This is a smaller rocket built from the same educators pack of simple kits. Of particular concern with this design is that there will be a large amount of pressure pushing the nose cones apart. This may result in a shred. Large amounts of glue should prevent this.
An interesting problem came up during work on this rocket: I have been using white glue as nose cone weight. I gave literally days for this glue to dry. After letting it dry, I finally put the cones into the rocket. After a few more days, I moved the rocket and found glue inside one tube! It turns out wet white glue is able to melt its way through dry glue like acidic alien blood. This was quite a shock, and called for some further work to bring the rocket back into shape. It can be salvaged, but for the future I must use epoxy.
This rocket will go well on motors from 1/2A up, even two D21s! | aerospace |

Civil engineers and senior leaders from across the Department of Defense met in a virtual setting Dec. 16-17 to discuss new policies and a path forward for military construction programs in a rapidly changing execution environment.
Sponsored by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, the 14th annual Design and Construction Partnering Symposium was themed “Adapting to Change with Success.”
Alongside Brig. Gen. John Allen, AFCEC commander, 400 military members and civilians from the Air Force, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command and the Office of the Secretary of Defense were in attendance to share views and gain insights on new policies, initiatives and procedures affecting military construction planning and execution.
This two-day assembly allowed participants to hear views from the top, a session which many had eagerly anticipated.
“There was a keen interest in engaging in a dialogue with the policymakers and senior leaders on policies and strategies to advance MILCON execution,” said Col. Dave Norton, director of AFCEC’s Facility Engineering Directorate.
Norton emphasized the value of the recurring event to maintain the successful collaboration across all services in carrying out the MILCON program.
“This specific partnership event helped establish a common level of understanding and unity of purpose among the Air Force, USACE, NAVFAC and the OSD as we work collaboratively to effectively execute the Air Force and Space Force MILCON program,” Norton said.
The 2020 symposium created another invaluable opportunity to bring the DOD community together to address the challenges of adapting MILCON programs to changing times.
“It is important we revisit, on at least an annual basis, different drivers and stakeholders to effective MILCON execution; whether it is policy change, environmental aspects, real estate actions or contract support,” Norton said. “We need to stay engaged and focused on working closely with our partners, to continue to successfully deliver mission-ready facilities in the face of emerging global changes.”
This year’s symposium shifted from a physical event, usually held in San Antonio to a first-ever virtual event, in response to social restrictions caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Participants were provided full remote access to insightful sessions and engaging panel discussions. The agenda included spotlights on topics such as MILCON reform, MILCON planning and programming, and MILCON project management agreements, to name a few.
“The topics we discussed gave participants an even more enhanced picture of the current state of play in MILCON execution, as well as the way forward about some significant policy changes that have taken place recently,” Norton said.
“MILCON execution is a team sport and the symposium is a strong representation of that team, bringing together all the players from different services, from the installation level up to the OSD, as a team in this large assembly. I hope the participants left the symposium with a renewed emphasis on that teamwork,” Norton said.
Before closing out this year’s symposium, organizers hosted an awards ceremony to honor the winners of the 2020 Air Force Design Awards. The annual awards recognize innovative facilities for outstanding designs, resource efficiency, innovation and visual appeal. Allen and AFCEC honored seven projects in three award levels.
The 2020 Honor Awards recipients were from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio (Facility Renovations and Additions); Dyess Air Force Base, Texas (Landscape Architecture); Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska (Facility Design); Edwards Air Force Base, California (Facility Design).
The 2020 Merit Awards recipients were Hill Air Force Base, Utah (Facility Design); Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (Facility Design).
The 2020 Citation Award recipient was Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma (Facility Design).
“The Air Force Design Awards is a valuable and important program within the Air Force,” said Randy Lierly, Air Force architect and Air Force Design Awards program manager. “It is an essential tool the Air Force utilizes to declare its principles of excellence to prospective design firms engaged in Air Force projects.”
With the 2020 symposium in the books, Norton said his team is looking forward to hosting again next year. | aerospace |

The registration system, which also applies to model aircraft, has an accompanying app that will tell licensed drone users where they can and can’t fly.
Geofencing was also discussed as an option to prohibit drones will flying in unauthorized areas.
Irish Aviation Authority director of safety regulation Ralph James announced the new details of the register at the Drones, Data X conference. The system will be the first of its kind in Europe.
James said he hopes the new registration process is “easy, realistic and acceptable” and would support Ireland’s opportunity to become a “center for the drone industry.”
There’s an estimated 5,000 drones currently in Ireland, James said, but he added that drones are the “number one toy” on holiday shopping lists.
The United States is developing a similar drone registration system. A 25-member task force comprised of drone manufacturers, aviation associations, retailers and other experts has recommended the mandatory drone registration be “simple and free” and be required for all drones that weigh more than nine ounces. According to the Wall Street Journal, users will register by entering their name and address into a government-run website or mobile application. Users would have to attach a “legible” registration number to their drone.
The task force has until Nov. 20 to submit its recommendations to the Federal Aviation Administration, which hopes to have the registration system up and running by the holiday season.

The RC Radio Controller permits the remote activation of the airport lighting system by the pilot. This is accomplished by keying the aircraft’s microphone in a particular sequence at a designated frequency.
The 1 step RC is activated upon receiving a series of pulses of radio frequency energy within a 5 second period. After receipt of five pulses the relay closes. The solid state timer will continue to operate for 15 minutes then the system reverts to the “off” condition.
The 3 step RC is activated upon receiving a series of pulses of radio frequency energy within a 5 second period. At the third pulse the first relay closes, at the fifth pulse the second relay closes, at the seventh pulse the third relay closes. At any time the pilot has the option of sending three, five, or seven pulses to command the intensity level to his desires. | aerospace |

The challenge this year was to come up with a design for a device to drop humanitarian aid accurately (within 20 metres of a target) from 3000 metres up. Our idea managed to make it to the finals which turned out to be a week of lectures on general aerospace engineering, activities and flying! Photos are here.
Each person got two flying experiences, both of which included some time piloting the aircraft: about 10-20 minutes in a helicopter and about half an hour in a fixed-wing plane.
My first flying experience was with a small Robinson helicopter, which can only really be described as terrifyingly, exhilaratingly awesome. The pilot managed the take-off which was one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve ever had – in a helicopter you’re literally sitting in a big transparent flying bubble with the engine behind you, so the view and experience is truly amazing as the land falls away beneath you… I later took over and found control extremely difficult – even a tiny movement of the stick causes the vehicle to tilt violently in that direction making a beginner like me very prone to overcorrection leading to a serious case of increasing-amplitude SHM! The actual stick is situated between the pilot and the copilot and a rotating handle is stuck on the end allowing dual control, so my rather flailing and uncontrolled flight was abruptly and expertly rectified when the pilot took control (though not before I turned and prepared to land by erratically lurching towards a patch of grass). The pilot then demonstrated some cool things one can do with a helicopter including skid landing and take-off, going backwards and sideways while spinning etc.
The next day I got in a PA28 – my first fixed-wing experience. The pilot had to go through an enormous list of things to check before taking off and explained a little about what she was doing (mostly checking the engine could rev at certain RPMs and wouldn’t give out in certain situations, flicking on and off various lights and calibrating [and pointing at] instruments). The runway was also ridiculously long so she didn’t even bother with flaps for takeoff. This was much easier to fly than the helicopter and the dials and instruments in the cockpit didn’t obscure the view as much I had inferred they would from MS Flight Sim’s portrayal. I did a few rather ginger turns and pitch adjustments before relinquishing control back to the pilot who then demonstrated some steep banks, a stall (which sounded dangerous and seemed to imply the engine cutting out) and a dive (which was extremely cool). Later that week Matthew and I were inspired enough to ask about possible places to get flying instruction – flying has always been one of those things I’ve wanted to learn but I’ve always ended up not having enough time or money to start…
The week started with some group leadership exercises which consisted of attempting to place 30 cards in the correct pattern (easy) and work out the shape and colour of two missing shapes while blindfolded (hard) – both were much more enjoyable than I had expected from that genre of exercises.
The first engineering challenge we were given was an egg-drop challenge – the idea was to construct a package which will protect an egg from a drop of 4 metres. We were given limited materials and each material had a price; the idea was to make the cheapest package that doesn’t crack the egg. Our attempt turned out to be the most epic non-fail in history – literally seconds before the end of the construction phase we managed to pop two balloons which made us completely change our plan and in the last few seconds and in great haste we crammed stuff into a crumple zone and added a parachute … and it somehow worked and turned out to be the cheapest package (if wastage is deducted)! I guess that really proves the KISS principle: Keep It Simple Stupid.
The second engineering challenge was along similar lines – dropping aid – though it was from a more macro perspective. The game was called ‘airlift’ and sold by Elite – the idea was to plan an air route through several African villages which uses the least fuel, while dropping packages of aid which we had to construct out of wooden blocks, paper and tape while making sure everything fits in the cargo hold. The first thing I pointed out when time started was that both problems were NP-complete: the packing problem was almost exactly the same as the knapsack problem and the route planning was basically the Travelling Salesman problem with fuel added in as a factor. In other words we had to be either very good at intuitive problem solving or somehow get lucky. As it turned out, as perhaps a combination of the two, we somehow managed to come up with both the the optimum packing configuration as well as the best route, and finished literally as the final buzzer went – not bad!
The rest of the week was dotted with things like paper plane competitions (which included an awesome flying paper ring which seems impossible when you first see it fly), a game of (actual) CTF and some sports.
Over the week there were daily lectures. Much as I would love to discuss them all here in depth I haven’t got that much time / space and besides most people aren’t as interested as I am in the effect of negative angles of attack… But I’ll go a little into some of the most interesting lectures.
Fly by Wire (FBW)
The problem for a long time had been that when going sufficiently quickly, adjusting the controls from the cockpit was really quite hard work – the air going past has so much momentum and the mass flow rate is so high that to change its direction by (for example) adjusting the ailerons requires a lot of force. To make things worse, at supersonic speeds a shock cone is developed (some awesome videos of this are on Youtube) – if this touches the aileron the stick can be wrenched out of the pilot’s hand. Some of these controls were partially solved by making the stick adjust small tabs in the wing instead of the entire aileron, reducing the force required to steer, and by making controls non-reversible (force on the aileron doesn’t affect the flying stick). There are of course some problems with these such as lack of ‘feel’ of the controls. So recently manual stick-aileron transmission was replaced with an electronic motor which receives instructions from the cockpit and adjusts the ailerons itself. Not only does this take all the strain off the pilot, but it also allows a computer to neutralise bad judgements on the part of the pilot such as initiating a sharp dive at 50 feet, implemented by a feedback mechanism from the aircraft to the computer. It also simplifies the cockpit – instead of filling the area with controls, dials an instruments, a computer screen with a joystick and throttle suffices to fly a FBW plane. I asked whether, since FBW significantly reduces the pilot’s direct control over the aircraft, FBW might actually make complicated manouevres more unsafe or indeed completely impossible. John Farley, who was giving the talk, said that, from his vast experience, pilots, however experienced, cannot really be trusted to fly planes safely all the time, and in fact he would feel safer trusting a computer’s judgement and letting a computer do such manouevres than a pilot. That talk also proves that a Boeing 747 probably has non-reversible controls so that scene in Snakes on a Plane (I think it was that film) in which the pilot asked the co-pilot to help pull back on the stick very hard was probably a load of rubbish. Not that you needed to be told that.
One of the interesting things from this talk was the reasoning for why helicopters don’t go fast. There is always one part of the rotor going forwards, and if the helicopter moves forwards sufficiently quickly that part of the rotor travels at supersonic speeds generating a shockwave that could rip apart the rotor. In addition, even at lower speeds, there is an imbalance between the airspeed of the fowards-going part and backwards-going part of the rotor meaning a gimbal has to change the angle of attack of the blade depending on which way it’s going: the angle of attack of the rearwards-going blade has to increase to increase lift on that side otherwise the helicopter would just roll over. Of course, there is a maximum angle of attack this blade can be set to before it stalls which is about 20°. This limits the helicopter’s speed at subsonic speeds.
Automation and the future
This was probably the most interesting talk of the week; unfortunately it was cut short for us owing to a jetstream flight. Apparently currently pilots of Euro Fighters get sensor fused info presented to them in the form of advice as to what to do and they simply act upon that, which means half the time the plane is telling the pilot what to do: it is telling the pilot how to control it: semi-automation. Even in commercial aircraft a system called TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) senses other aircraft and advises the pilot on how to manoeuvre. There is clearly room for improvement: unmanned aerial vehicles are coming. This of course led to the whole humans v computers discussion but for every example of a pilot doing something heroic and saving the plane, there are several examples in which pilots screwed up and computers would have saved lives – Chris Roberts, the speaker, asked whether it *really* is desirable to have a pilot flying the plane, and whether the problem of pilots becoming de-skilled from letting the autopilot take over really is such a problem after all. I also found it very interesting and surprising that currently many landings of commercial aircraft are performed by the autopilot in low-visibility situations.
Anyways overall it was a fantastic week. Whatever the results of the competition turn out to be, I for one got a lot out of six days in Cranfield. I learnt a lot, made some friends, made some good contacts in the industry, and had some great fun relaxing in the English countryside! | aerospace |

It also meant introduction of new colours (based on US SEA scheme) onto many FAP aircraft (from elderly Ginas, Alouette IIs / IIIs, Alpha Jets, to the most recent AW101s).
F-16 entered service in 1994 and became FAP's first true interceptor since 1980. In 2010 the first of five P-3C Orions (purchased to replace the six P-3P) entered service in overall Light Gull Grey. | aerospace |

The company has allowed Ukrainian companies to use the technology for communications satellites. But to access the satellite’s range and payload capacity, companies must buy equipment from SpaceX. Kyiv has been trying to use its own tech for monitoring and controlling drones in urban areas where a civil war broke out in April 2018.
SpaceX bars Kyiv from using Starlink technology for drone control.
SpaceX is a space exploration company owned by Elon Musk, who also founded Tesla and SpaceX. The company has developed a satellite network called Starlink that will consist of millions of low-Earth orbit satellites that can provide wireless internet access to remote communities around the world.
In January 2019, Ukrainian companies were allowed to use Starlink technology for communications satellites after being approved by SpaceX.
The company, however, has allowed Ukrainian companies to use the technology for communications satellites only but not for war such as remote control drones used in their war against Russa.
But to access the satellite’s range and payload capacity, companies must buy equipment from SpaceX. That means Kyiv is trying to make its own tech—and has been doing so for several years now.
Kyiv wants the ability to control its drone fleet in a war zone, which would make them more efficient than using Starlink-enabled drones. But while they’re working on their own solution, SpaceX won’t allow Kyiv access unless they pay $100 million per year in licensing fees (which amounts to an enormous sum).
Kyiv has been trying to use its own tech for monitoring and controlling drones in urban areas where civil war broke out in April 2018.
In the past, Ukraine had been using Starlink satellites, but now that SpaceX has blocked access to those satellites because they were being used by foreign governments (e.g., Russia), Kyiv will have no choice but to turn back on its own system.
Ukraine’s military is already using Starlink to track enemy drones only a few miles away.
Ukraine’s military is already using Starlink to track enemy drones only a few miles away. The technology is being used to track the location of enemy drones, but not to control them.
The Starlink system uses radio frequencies and satellites in place of traditional radio signals or Wi-Fi hotspots that could allow hackers to intercept data from military bases, according to Reuters.
Ukraine has been one of the most active countries trying out new technologies for its armed forces because it sees itself as an underdog fighting against Russia—a country with which it shares an anti-US worldview and has had tense relations since 2014 when Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine after mass protests following Moscow’s annexation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia Georgia regions broke out across Kyiv’s Independence Square (Maidan Nezalezhnosti).
SpaceX has been developing the Starlink constellation for years, and there’s no reason to think it won’t continue to build out its network. It’ll be interesting to see whether Kyiv or any other countries can develop their own satellite networks in order to control drones without using SpaceX’s proprietary technology. In the meantime, though, Ukraine might have some work ahead of them if they want consistent access to high-quality military communication without having to buy equipment from Elon Musk himself. | aerospace |

BS Kiran was the Associate Project Director of Flight Dynamics. , During World War II, the armed forces of many countries used the C-47 and modified DC-3s for the transport of troops, cargo, and wounded. About 17 minutes and 38 seconds after lift-off, Cartosat-3 was injected into an orbit of 509 km at an inclination of 97.5 degree to the equator. It was too expensive for the smaller operators that were its main target; only three were sold to Capital Airlines. "Of Hosenoses, Stoofs, and Lefthanded Spads". The spacecraft consumed 1.9 kg (4 lb) of fuel for the manoeuvre. The US Air Force's 6th Special Operations Squadron was flying the C-47 until 2008. P. Kunhikrishnan was a Project Director in the PSLV programme. With this engine firing, the spacecraft's apogee was raised to 28,825 km (17,911 mi), with a perigee of 252 km (157 mi). During a meeting on 30 September 2014, NASA and ISRO officials signed an agreement to establish a pathway for future joint missions to explore Mars.

With greater than 75% of the original DC-3/C-47 configuration changed, the modified design was virtually a new aircraft. The first three of the five planned orbit raising manoeuvres were completed with nominal results, while the fourth was only partially successful. The third trajectory correction was also a deceleration test 3.9 seconds long on 22 September 2014. In that time, the spacecraft completed 388 orbits of the planet and relayed more than 715 images back to Earth. , On 19 May 2017, MOM reached 1,000 days (973 sols) in orbit around Mars.

Drones for recreational use have also become really popular in recent years, and there are many options on the market to choose from. If you’re thinking about buying a drone, you’ll want to get the right one for your needs.
If you’re looking to purchase a drone for a child, consider safety first. Choose a small, sturdy model that can be used indoors, and make sure that the propeller blades have blade guards to protect the walls, furniture, pets, and small hands. Some child-friendly drones cost less than $100, though they may require a smart phone as a controller. Using a drone will require a lot of learning. If your child doesn’t have sufficient interest or patience for learning to control the drone properly, you might consider a simpler remote-controlled toy plane.
If you’re an adult and first-time buyer, start with a relatively simple model to learn on. Because you won’t be good at controlling it to start out with, you’ll want to make sure to get a durable model that can survive a few crashes. You can purchase good beginner drones that cost under $100 and have reasonable speed and maneuverability. For a few hundred more, you can get features like a 180-degree fish-eye camera, automatic flight stabilization, and a GPS navigation system that lets the drone return home.
If you consider yourself a hobbyist, you’ll want a drone with more sophisticated capabilities. As a more serious photographer, you might consider DJI’s Phantom. According to a DJI drone review, the Phantom 4 is one of the smartest drones available. It has front and bottom sensors that allow it to detect ground elevation and obstacles in its path.

Mars Rover Opportunity's View of Comet (Blink of Two Exposures)This two-image blink shows a comparison of two exposure times in images from the panoramic camera (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity showing comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring as it flew near Mars on Oct. 19, 2014.
The images were taken about two-and-a-half hours before the closest approach of the comet's nucleus to Mars, with exposure durations of 50 seconds and 10 seconds. The sky was still relatively dark, before Martian dawn. At the time of closest approach, the morning sky was too bright for observation of the comet.
The images have been processed by removal of detector artifacts and slight twilight glow. The duration of the exposure resulted in a 2.5-pixel smear from rotation of Mars.
A Martian dust storm to the west of Opportunity hampered visibility somewhat on Oct. 19, compared to the sky over Opportunity a week earlier.

Brigadier General Michael Zuhlsdorf, deputy director for engineering resource integration, logistics and force protection, declared Tuesday during a webinar hosted by the Mitchell Institute, a nonpartisan aerospace research organization based in Arlington, Va., that Air Force bases in the region “will grow in visible increments over time, probably 10 to 15 years.”
Zuhlsdorf did not directly respond to a reporter’s question about the number of additional bases from which the force could operate.
“The total number keeps changing based on the resources that we have…we are working on a number of different airfields, and based on the resources, that number will change,” he said.
According to Zuhlsdorf, World War II-era airfields throughout the Pacific offer high availability of real estate.
“We are going to take advantage by investing in them and giving life to some of those bases,” he stated. “We’re going to breathe life into some dormant bases that are out there.”
The Air Force will work as a team with allies and partners such as Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, the Philippines and Japan, the general said.
“Ultimately, with this resilient foundation…we have to make sure that we set the stage for our airmen, soldiers, sailors, marines…the guardians that will be on the front lines…are well cared for and have the tools they need to succeed. In that kind of environment, frankly, an environment that we haven’t faced for a long time,” he said.
In the absence of a similar threat in recent decades, the Air Force has focused on the effectiveness and concentration of forces at large established bases, Zuhlsdorf said.
“We haven’t had that threat that is now present with our close peers, whether it’s [China] or Russia or whoever is out there,” he said. “We have concentrated a lot of resources on some specific bases.”
He said the plan is to build a robust infrastructure to support Agile Combat Employment. ACE is the ability to quickly move aircraft to a network of smaller airfields to avoid being targeted by missiles in the event of war.
Meanwhile, the Air Force is looking for ways to make established bases more resilient, such as improving missile defense, camouflage and dispersing forces at those bases, Zuhlsdorf said.
“We have to reinforce the existing bases that we have, from the point of view of the facilities and the infrastructure and the command and control and the anti-air defense of the air bases,” he said. | aerospace |

Some drones are just not designed for carrying additional loads whereas others are. Amazon has even suggested that in the future, they’ll be pretty much running on drone deliveries using Amazon Prime Air which they’ve already piloted (no pun intended) and fulfilled the order in just 13 minutes.
This is just the beginning, and the tip of the iceberg when it comes to drone’s carrying capabilities. Today’s post will take a look at the various drones that have the capacity for carrying additional weight and how much weight that can be exactly.
A drone’s carrying capacity is referred to as its payload. Because there are varying factors when it comes to the question of how much weight a drone can carry, it’s hard to answer. It’s like asking “how long’s a piece of string” because the answer is that it “depends”.
The type of drone definitely has an impact on how much weight it can carry. Most small hobby drones have usually maxed out their payload when you come to purchase it. Parts such as the camera, sensors, and batteries will all have an impact on its lift. whereas commercial drones designed for deliveries can carry much more and have strong components that allow this.
Smaller drones inherently have smaller components and lighter propellors meaning they’ll only be able to carry very little weight due to limitations – just like a small aircraft.
In order to generate lift, a drone’s propellors need to be able to generate thrust that’s 2x the weight of the drone and its payload. The propellors that come on small hobby drones won’t be able to handle much more weight than it already has before the physics break down and the drone falls out of the sky.
The motor is also a big factor. Drones with powerful motors generate more thrust and therefore have the ability to carry more weight which then takes us to battery consideration. Of course, you need a powerful battery to generate more thrust, but this usually means the battery will weigh more. Consumption will also increase.
If you try adding weight to a small hobby drone like the Mavic Air 2, for example, you’re not going to get the full advertised flight time because it’ll be working extra hard to keep the drone in the air.
Finally, you need to consider the drone’s weight and take-off weight to establish whether you can generate enough thrust to get in the air.
How Much Weight Can A Hobby Drone Carry?
Most hobby drones have been designed just for that, hobbies.
The average carrying capacity for hobby drones is around 0.6 pounds to 4.4 pounds (0.3kg to 2kg) but you need to remember this will be taking into account the camera that’s on there and the battery, etc.
Drones with built-in cameras have already usually maxed their payload meaning you shouldn’t really be attaching any more items to it. It also doesn’t have any special kind of frame built into it that’s designed to carry items.
Nevertheless, if curiosity has the better of you, this YouTuber did some testing on the Mavic Mini, Mavic Air, and Mavic Pro 2 to see what their breaking point was. Unsurprisingly, the larger of the three drones, the Mavic Pro 2 was able to carry the most at just over 500g.
How Much Weight Can A Toy Drone Carry?
Most toy drones fall into the micro drone and mini-drone category. They’re small, really light, designed for kids, and have a short flight time of fewer than 10 minutes. Because of this, you’re not going to be able to lift much.
Nevertheless, because it’s so cheap it could be a fun science experiment if you’ve got kids. You’re probably limited to less than 5g of weight, but perhaps try attaching a coin or a piece of lego to the drone and see how it handles.
How Much Weight Can A Small Drone Carry?
Once again, this depends on how “small” small is to you. We’ve discussed toy drones above, but what about something a little larger, like the Mini 2 from DJI? With this drone, you should be able to carry around 150g-180g at a push.
How Much Weight Can A Cheap Drone Carry?
When it comes to how much weight drones can carry, price isn’t a factor like it would be if you were analyzing other features of the drone such as the camera. What you’re looking for is something that has a bit of weight, has got strong propellors, and a powerful battery.
Still, some of these factors may require a bit of monetary spend, like the battery for example but I’m confident you could find something for less than $100.
The great thing about buying a cheap drone though is that you can be a little more experimental than you would be with something that costs a thousand bucks.
How Much Weight Can A Commercial Drone Carry?
Commercial drones are different and have been specifically designed to carry weight, like those used for drone deliveries. The technology behind these is pretty impressive and in general, they can handle payloads between 20kg and 220kg. Some drones have the ability to carry more than 50% of their original weight as an extra payload.
Take, for example, the DJI Matrice 600 Pro which has a takeoff weight of 10kg but can haul an extra 6kg, and the DJI Agras T20; an agricultural drone that weighs 27.5kg with its battery that can carry an additional 20kg payload of pesticide.
What About Prosumer Drones?
This term is something that’s been coined in the drone community for drones that are cheap enough to be considered a consumer drone but have some of the benefits of professional commercial drones.
Usually, these are drones that you can add an additional camera to, like the Yuneec Tornado H920 which has payload capacity to switch out the cameras.
What Industries Can Commercial Drones Be Used In?
So which industries can commercial drones that carry weight be used in? The truth is that the possibilities are pretty endless, commercial drones could set you back $15,000 or more but can do anything from delivering a McDonald’s, or custom-made cake to even shooting A-lister films. Let’s take a look at the options below:
eCommerce and Hospitality – I bundled these together because they’re both centered around drone delivery services a process that already the likes of Amazon have trialed as well as Uber Eats.
Agriculture – Commercial drones with large payload capabilities can be used to spray pesticides across large areas. Though they are expensive initially, forward-thinking and cash-rich agricultural companies know that over time, these will have a solid return on investment for their crops and don’t require hours spent in the fields every day.
Rescue missions – Since most drones can’t airlift a person to safety at present, drones that can carry weight can play an integral part in search and rescue operations. They can easily access inaccessible areas and perhaps transport food, water, and medical supplies to those who need them while a rescue team arrives.
Film industry – High-quality cinematography requires large cameras beyond the capabilities of your standard hobby drone. This is why commercial drones with large payloads can pay off for big film production companies. They’re also easier to operate and still likely cheaper than hiring a helicopter.
Military operations – Military drones are somewhat scary in terms of their capability. Of course, public safety is paramount, so they have an incredible budget to work with.
Developers of military drone tech are consistently pushing boundaries daily to establish what drones are capable of. Both surveillance drones and combat drones are used by the military. The latter have to be able to carry a lot of weight.
Before you start loading up your drone, be sure to read over the manual and the drone specifications so you don’t overload it and cause an accident. Assess how much flight time you’re going to have and calculate the power loss from carrying the extra weight.
Ensure that you distribute the weight evenly across the drone so it doesn’t drag to one side and cause the drone to flip.
We recommend also using some type of frame to hold the extra payload. Most commercial drones designed for lifting things will come with a frame of some sort.
Start with something light and less expensive for your test flight and gradually builds up the weight. You’ll probably need to practice your flying skills if you’re flying something heavier than you’re used to. YouTube is a great resource for tutorial videos.
So, as you can see, many factors can affect how much weight a drone can carry. But the technology is there and is being constantly improved and developed. In the next decade, having a drone deliver your packages will likely be just as normal as a delivery driver knocking on your door.
One thing that will need further development is a drone’s range from a delivery hub though. Some more expensive models do have a reasonable range of around 5-7km but we know that drones can do better than that, especially in a military capacity.
One interesting concept I came across was the Autel Dragonfish. A portable plane-like drone with an incredible camera and exceptional range of 30km. Though not designed as a drone to carry weight (it has a 1.5kg payload limit) it shows how impressive the range can be on drone tech and is designed specifically with government-based clients in mind.
Assistance with firefighting and wildfires, public safety management, traffic management, and monitoring, coastal security, and agriculture – this is the drone of the future. | aerospace |

Other than giving us a beautiful light in the evening, there are many fascinating and mind-blowing facts about the Moon that you should know. Why do the moon and the high tide make sense? Do we have a real “sister moon”? Or is the moon actually a planet? So stick around and click on this gallery to find them all out!
The Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite and was formed 4.6 billion years ago, not long after the Earth was formed. The Moon rotates in sychronization with Earth, and that means it keeps the same side facing the Earth.
The first unmanned mission to the Moon was in 1959 by Russia’s Soviet Lunar Program, while the first manned exploration of the Moon was in 1969 done by the NASA in the United States.
The Moon, Earth’s Nearest Neighbor
Since we can see it in the night sky by our naked eye, the Moon is our closest astronomical neighbor. At the Moon’s extreme perigee — or its closest approach to the Earth — it comes as close as 356,400 kilometers. On the other hand, the Moon’s extreme apogee — or the farthest distance it can get from the Earth — goes as far as 406,700 kilometers.
A violent collision created the Moon
There have been several hypotheses as to how the Moon began to exist, but the most popular and accepted theory is that the Moon was formed from the debris out of a collision between the Earth and Theia, a planet (or rock) about the size of Mars.Making of the Moon
According to a famous theory, about 4.5 billion years ago the Earth and the theorized planet (or rock) Theia collided against each other. This created a bunch of smaller debris that surrounded around the planet, then these debris joined together and formed a spherical object what we see today as the Moon.
The Moon keeps the same side towards Earth
Very long ago, the Earth’s gravitational influence slowed down the rotation period of the moon to match its orbital period, and this effect had stuck ever since. Other moons that surround the other planets also show the same kind of behavior.
A person would weigh much less on the Moon
Because of the Moon’s very much smaller mass compared to the Earth’s, the effect is weaker gravity. So it means once you’re on the Moon, you will feel definitely lighter — about 1/6 of your weight here on Earth. That explains why astronauts could leap and bound very high in the air.
Earth’s Sister Moon
It’s a common knowledge that the Moon is the only natural satellite here on Earth. However, there is another satellite around the earth called Cruithne, which is incorrectly referred to as a “sister moon.” It was discovered by scientists in 1999, and named after the ancient people of Ireland, Cruthin.
Cruithne is a three-mile asteroid that is situatied on the Earth’s gravitational scope, therefore making as a satellite to our planet. The asteroid takes 770 years to complete its bean-shaped orbit around the Earth, which describes as a horseshoe orbit. According to many scientists, the orbit will stay that way around Earth for at least 5,000 years.
While earthquakes are caused by the sudden movement of the Earth’s crust, moonquakes are otherwise caused by the Earth’s gravitational pull. Astronauts who have landed on the moon used seismographs which recorded small moonquakes. They occur several kilometers under the surface, which leads to small cracks and fissures on it. Scientists believe that the Moon also has a molten core like the Earth.
Solar eclipses will become more difficult to achieve
In a few million years we will see no more solar eclipses. It is because the moon the moon is slowly drifting farther away from the Earth. This will become so distant that in about 500 million years the Moon will appear smaller than it does now, rendering it impossible to “eclipse” the Sun.
The Moon has only been walked on by 12 people
All of these 12 people are American male astronauts, who made a successful step into the moon. They are, in chronological order: Neil Armstrong (1969), Buzz Aldrin (1969), Charles “Pete” Conrad (1969), Alan Bean (1969), Alan Shepard (1971), Ed Mitchell (1971), David Scott (1971), James Irwin (1971), John W. Young (1972), Charles Duke (1972), Eugene Cernan (1972) and Harrison Schmitt (1972).
The Moon has no atmosphere
Unlike the Earth, the Moon has no air to breathe and no wind — that’s why the flags planted by the lunar astronauts never flutter and otherwise stay stiff. Because the moon is considered to have no atmosphere, it cannot protect itself from solar winds, meteorites, and cosmic rays. You hear no sound on the moon, and the sky always look pitch-dark because of the utter lack of atmosphere.
There is a very little thin layer of gases on the moon’s surface, which resembles an atmosphere (but not quite). It’s called an exosphere.
The first spacecraft to reach the Moon
The first spacecraft to successfully land on the Moon was a robotic spacecraft called Luna 2, on September 14, 1959. Luna 2 was also the first man-made object to land on another celestial body.
The Moon Is a Planet?
The Moon is bigger compared to Pluto, and is also one-quarter the Earth’s size. So this leads many people to ask if the Moon is also considered a planet.
Many scientists do think the Moon as also a planet, and some refer to the system of the Earth and the Moon as a “double planet,” like Pluto and its moon (and biggest satellite) Charon.
Moon is the fifth largest natural satellite in the Solar System
The Moon’s diameter is 3,475 kilomenters, trailing behind the much bigger major moons of Jupiter and Saturn. While the Earth and the Moon is about the same age — 4.5 to 4.6 billion years — the Earth is otherwise about 80 times the Moon’s volume.
Moon’s Ocean Tug
You may wonder why there are tides. It’s because of the Moon’s gravitational influence on the Earth which is so strong that it causes the ocean water to “bulge.” As the moon orbits the Earth and the Earth also rotates, the bulge also moves. The parts of the Earth where there is a bulging, experience a high tide, while other areas are prone to a low tide.
When there are no other forces present, the Earth rotates on its own axis. In this manner, the ocean water is maintained at equal levels around it by its own gravity pulling inward and the centrifugal force (or inertia) pushing outward.
Although we know about the gravitational pulls between the moon and the earth, and the sun and earth that influence the tides, it’s the moon that dictates most of them. | aerospace |

A month after Lion Air’s fatal crash into the Java Sea, the black box data revealed that pilots struggled to maintain control of the jet after its automatic “anti-stall” safety system repeatedly pushed the plane’s nose down 26 times.
Despite stressing that this preliminary report did not give a definitive cause, aviation head of the Indonesian investigative agency has claimed that the Boeing jet, which caused nearly 200 casualties, was not airworthy and should have been grounded.
Here’s what happened
The new Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashed into the Java Sea on October 29, killing all 189 people on board, including Indian pilot Bhavya Suneja.
According to a draft of the preliminary report submitted by Indonesian National Transport Safety Committee (KNKT) on Wednesday, faulty sensors on the plane’s system are believed to have caused this anomalous automatic response, which ultimately led to the nosedive.
The report also claims that the jet began to experience “stick shaker activation”, which vibrates the pilot’s controls, immediately after takeoff. Furthermore, the jet had experienced airspeed and altitude issues in four different flights in days leading up to the crash, and had erroneous sensor readings several times, making it “un-airworthy”.
The report also discusses Lion Air’s maintenance practices and the anti-stall system in the aircraft.
What could have gone wrong?
The preliminary report suggests that the anti-stall system received incorrect information from sensors on the fuselage. The pilots attempted to correct it more than two dozen times, but ultimately lost control of the plane and it plummeted into the ocean at 450 miles per hour.
The pilots appeared to struggle with an automated system designed to keep the plane from stalling — a new feature in the 737 Max family. The new manoeuvring characteristics augmentation system (MCAS) is “a computerized system Boeing installed on its latest generation of 737 to prevent the plane’s nose from getting too high,” according to the New York Times.
Peter Lemme, an aviation expert and former engineer at Boeing, described the final few minutes in the Lion Air cockpit as “a deadly game of tag”. He explained, every time the plane pointed downward, pilots would manually aim it higher using their controls, only for the sequence to repeat about five seconds later.
Who is to blame?
This is particularly worrisome for Boeing because even after similar problems had occurred on previous flights, the Lion Air jet hadn’t been fixed. It is further unacceptable that the crew of the flight were not warned of this possibility.
In the aftermath of the crash, many airlines and pilots have complained that the pilots have not been trained by Boeing on how to operate the critical new flight control system on the new 737 Max, even though the jets have been dispatched and are flying all over the world. It is not clear yet if the Lion Air pilots aboard flight JT610 knew of the manual overriding procedures.
“Had they fixed the airplane, we would not have had the accident,” Lemme further told Reuters. “Every accident is a combination of events, so there is disappointment all around here,” he said.
What happens next?
Boeing hasn’t responded to these latest revelations, although they issued a statement last week about sending out two urgent updates to the airlines about the “existing procedures for these situations“.
Information from the Lion Air jet’s flight data recorder was a part of the briefing for the Indonesian Parliament. Search parties haven’t retrieved the plane’s cockpit voice recorder yet, which could shed more light on the pilots’ actions. Indonesian authorities released the findings on the condition that no definite conclusions would be drawn from the data immediately. Meanwhile, the investigation in Jakarta continues with assistance from US regulators and Boeing.

NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a Delta plane from Atlanta skidded off a runway while landing at LaGuardia Airport, crashing through a fence and damaging its right wing.
A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman said six people were injured. The plane carried 125 passengers and five crewmembers.
Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo says the MD-88 went off the runway at around 11:10 a.m. Thursday.
The Delta flight landed on LaGuardia's main runway — a stretch of pavement that is 7,003 feet long and 150 feet wide. On the right side of the runway are a taxiway and the airport terminals. On the left is a berm, fence and Flushing Bay.
By comparison, Albany International Airport's main runway is 8,500 feet in length and 150 feet wide.
Images from LaGuardia showed the plane resting in the snow with the nose of the jet through a chain-link fence.
Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines said passengers deplaned via aircraft slides and were taken to the terminal on buses. It says authorities are investigating the cause of the incident on Flight 1086.
Another Port Authority spokesman, Steve Coleman, said both the airport's runways are closed until further notice.
One Delta flight was diverted to Albany International Airport because of the closure. | aerospace |

(RT).
Plans to have the Air Force’s version of the F-35 Lightning II operational sometime this year have hit yet another snag: A software glitch bedeviling the fighter’s active radar system, requiring the pilots to restart it – sometimes even mid-flight.
Defense analysis publication IHS Jane’s reported on the issue last week, though it first cropped up in tests in late 2015. The AN/APG-81 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system, built by Northrop Grumman, is simply unable to stay up and running in flight on board the F-35A fighters, according to Air Force officials.
“What would happen is they'd get a signal that says either a radar degrade or a radar fail – something that would force us to restart the radar,” Major General Jeffrey Harrigian, director of the USAF’s F-35 integration office at the Pentagon, told Jane’s. He described the problem as “radar stability.”
Lockheed Martin, the principal contractor on the F-35 and Northrop’s rival in the field of aerospace technology, has identified the glitch in the i3 software and is working to fix it by the end of March, Harrigian added.
Though the futuristic fighter is suffering from an entire laundry list of defects, the US military has already sunk hundreds of billions of dollars into its development and, as such, is adamantly refusing any suggestion that the program ought to be scrapped.
“As a reminder, the F-35 program is still in its developmental phase. This is the time when issues are expected to be discovered and solutions are implemented to maximize the F-35’s capability for the warfighter,” USAF Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan, the officer overseeing the F-35 program, said last month.However, a recent survey of defense spending conducted by the University of Maryland found that 54 percent of Americans favored getting rid of the F-35. Democrats and independents were overwhelmingly against the fighter, while Republicans narrowly supported it. | aerospace |

SNC is the prime contractor and spacecraft bus manufacturer for OG2.
The launch used a unique configuration of three stacked EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (ESPA) Grande rings from Moog Space and Defense Group to carry the satellites to orbit. All 11 spacecraft, and the six launched in July 2014, include propulsion systems from Moog. Similar to management of the 2014 launch, SNC will provide Orbcomm on-orbit servicing and operations support from SNC’s satellite operations center in Louisville, Colo., in addition to on-site support provided at the Orbcomm network control center in Sterling, Va.
“The initial results of the on-orbit performance of the spacecraft have met or exceeded our performance criteria,” said Mark Sirangelo, corporate vice president of SNC’s Space Systems.
The OG2 constellation is based on SNC’s SN-100 satellite bus, which uses a modular payload deck for rapid integration and highly automated scripts to test all functions. Boeing designed the payloads for the OG2 satellite network, which enable Machine-to-Machine (M2M) messaging and Automatic Identification System (AIS) services.

I live in Montreal and its my last year at high school. I've been looking everywhere for "Pilotage d'aeronefs" and there's only one!!! cegep available. I'm just waiting for help here from pilots of Canada or most specifically from Quebec. Thanks in advance and really need your help because soon college request time.
Can you help me and tell me how to become pilot of Boeing for example
- Anonymous1 decade agoFavorite Answer
Quebec is in Canada already.
What do you mean by pilot of Boeing? Do you mean test pilot?
If you want to learn how to fly an airplane, you will have to earn your pilot's license first. You can't just take a few cegep courses and be accepted by Boeing to fly their jets. You might want to try researching Boeing on Google first to see what their requirements are. I'll bet they want something like 1500 or more hours, an ATPL* and instrument ratings and numerous time on type hours.
*Airline Transport Pilot License
If you look through this link, https://jobs.boeing.com/JobSeeker/JobSearch, you can check out what the requirements for a pilot's job are. I think you will find that you will need a university degree in something like engineering and anywhere from 5 to 15 years experience before you can fly for Boeing.
However, if what you are looking to do is fly commercially for an airline, please think twice. With airlines going bankrupt (think AlItalia, Zoom Airlines and Frontier Airlines, Aloha, ATA and Skybus, to name a few) the future of airline pilot flying is in serious doubt. The pilots that have lost jobs there are already vying for what few airline jobs there are in whatever airlines are left.
In short, working as a pilot is a challenge if you want to make some kind of living. I used to be a flight instructor and earned a grand total of $3600.00 in one year. Yes, that's "three thousand six hundred dollars" in one year of 12 hour days, 6 days per week.
If you really want to fly, you might want to consider contacting the Canadian Armed Forces.Source(s): former flight instructor

I went to an aviation college in Nova Scotia for my training. I'm only aware of the one college in Quebec. If you want to take your license privately while going to school or working then there are a number of flight schools in Quebec that can help you. Visit http://www.learning-to-fly.com/flight-school.html for additional information or http://www.learning-to-fly.com/flight-school-direc... for a list of flight schools in Quebec.Source(s): http://www.learning-to-fly.com

I liked St Hubert Flying School.
so apply for one of those.
then go to cegep and study in aeronautics and/or your backup professionSource(s): I live on the island of Montreal | aerospace |

Aerothermodynamic Layout of a Scramjet Propulsion System for Space Transportation Systems: The Research Group GRK1095/1 - Structure and Achievements
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Carlo Quaglia.
Today’s propulsion systems rely on propellers, turbofans or turbojets for planes and on rocket propulsion for space transportation systems. The problem with the latter is the need to carry the oxidizer on board, which significantly decreases payload fractions. Alternatively, it is possible to design a space transportation system using an air-breathing plane-type first stage and a rocket-type second stage but this would require the first stage to achieve sufficiently high Mach numbers (approx. 8-15). Unfortunately, turbojet engines become inefficient at Mach numbers higher than approximately three. One possibility is to switch to ramjet engines at these speeds. In ramjet engines, compression is provided by compression ramps at the intake of the engine and the air is decelerated to subsonic speeds. This eliminates the need for rotating machinery. Combustion then takes place under subsonic conditions inside the engine. For Mach numbers higher than approximately five, ramjet engines become inefficient, however, since the stagnation pressure losses associated with a deceleration to subsonic speeds are large and static temperatures become prohibitively high. To eliminate this problem, the flow can be maintained at supersonic speeds. Such an engine is called a supersonic combustion ramjet or scramjet. Even though research on these types of engines has been going on for several decades, the technical problems associated with designing an operable system remain tremendous. Problems include high static temperature, obtaining positive thrust, flight control, maintaining a stable combustion, material fatigue and others. Nevertheless, such engines have great potential for significantly reducing costs for space access, reduce travel times between distant locations and have a large range of military applications. The project GRK1095 /1 is a national civilian research effort that aims at designing a scramjet powered space transportation system. The program is distributed among three German universities and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). In addition, there are associated members in several European countries. This talk discusses the project GRK1095 /1 and will highlight its structure and achievements since its start in the year 2004. In addition, more general problems of scramjet engine design will be outlined.

As a boy, the four letters NASA meant unprecedented adventure to me. NASA opened up the frontier of space. It gave credence to all the science fiction I had read. Most importantly, it gave America a vision, one that brought the country together and gave us a collective sense of pride.
For me, that didn’t end when the Space Shuttle made its final landing. The main reason is that NASA then gave humanity endless, staggeringly beautiful images of Earth – This Spaceship Earth. In the past few decades, as it became clear that humanity was beginning to affect the only place we have to live, NASA gave us documentation of how the planet was changing.
I mention this as Trump, and many other politicians in Washington. D.C., seem determined to be on the wrong side of history. A position that truly threatens humanity, and all living things, in the long term. Some of these wrong-headed politicians have already attacked the EPA and are now talking about defunding NASA, a true national treasure. How dare they!
Fortunately, as I wrote here “Climate Change is Physics, not Politics“, the wise elders of the Republican Party are lobbying for a carbon tax, a free market solution that conservatives are supporting.
Instead of looking to cut NASA budgets, our country should provide it with ever more resources to help us better understand the status of Spaceship Earth at this critical moment in history. Please click on these links of information-rich images from NASA. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this portal of Spaceship Earth is worth a million of them!
NASA has many portals. They all show the magnificence and wonder of Spaceship Earth, and in many cases, what humanity is doing to alter it. NASA deserves our support. It is a national treasure! | aerospace |

The AdA reviewed the project and found that the aircraft lacked power from the two Turbomeca Palas turbojet engines selected for the aircraft; in response, Fouga proceeded to enlarge the basic design, which was equipped with the more powerful Turbomeca Marboré engine and retaining the distinctive butterfly tail of the Fouga CM.8 glider, which had been used by Fouga for jet engine research.
During December 1950, the AdA placed an order for three prototypes; on 23 July 1952, the first aircraft conducted its maiden flight. During June 1953, a pre-production batch of 10 aircraft were ordered, which was followed by an initial production order for 95 aircraft on 13 January 1954.
Fouga (also known as Air Fouga) was a French manufacturing company established by Gaston Fouga at Béziers during 1920. Originally specialising in the repair of railway rolling stock, the firm eventually became most noted for the aircraft it produced from its woodworking facilities at Aire-sur-l’Adour.
The most successful product to be created by Fouga was the CM.170 Magister, a postwar jet-powered military trainer aircraft derived from the firm’s experiences with sailplanes. Many of its features, such as its slender tapering wings, reflecting the company’s sailplane heritage. During May 1958, Fouga was acquired by rival French aircraft manufacturer Potez; the company’s former facilities at Toulouse continue to produce aircraft as a part of the multinational Airbus Group. | aerospace |

Here’s how it works.
Filming a rocket launch only looks easy.
Despite tangled microphones and other technical issues, however, Kerbal Space Program 2’s audio director Howard Mostrom managed to capture a dramatic United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket launch that will feature in the forthcoming game.
“Super loud,” Mostrom says in a YouTube video (opens in new tab) after listening to his footage of the Oct. 4, 2022 double satellite launch, adding, “Oh yes — there’s a lot to work with.”
KSP2, as the game is known to Kerbal fans, will finally release in early access for PC gamers on Feb. 24 after years of anticipation and delays. Like its predecessor, KSP2 will teach gamers orbital mechanics by using Kerbal astronauts (“Kerbonauts”) who are famous for their hairstyles and wild reactions when they undergo extreme forces of gravity during launches and landings.

While we wait for KSP 2’s release, you can get on board with the original. Recreate real space missions or just watch your creations explode in the pursuit of the Mun and beyond in this space exploration game.
Mostrom not only received special permission from ULA to film the launch, but he also toured a Starliner facility to see the progress that Boeing is making with the capsule, which is scheduled to send NASA astronauts to the International Space Station this April.
“This is a great opportunity for me to, from the source, have something that I can start with and manipulate and make our own,” Mostrom said on YouTube of the rare behind-the-scenes looks he got at real space programs, which most gaming companies don’t have access to.
But the popular game by Intercept Games and Private Division comes by the access honestly, after more than a decade of impressing space engineers with its original Kerbal Space Program. The game has partnered with NASA, which once used Kerbal to educate a new audience about SpaceX Crew Dragon flights, and the European Space Agency on numerous missions.
Employees of SpaceX and other aerospace companies are known to be Kerbal fans, according to CNET (opens in new tab). The game is also popular among university physics professors and high school teachers, not to mention TikTokers, who have racked up nearly 9 million views (opens in new tab) of Kerbal content.

The Early Access phase of KSP2 will see users encounter numerous major upgrades such as interstellar travel, space settlements, new star systems, modding and multiplayer gaming, along with the opportunity to give feedback to developers before they release the game more widely for consoles.
Compared with its predecessor, KSP2 is supposed to include more tutorials, a simplified user interface and other improvements for new players, according to the developers. There also will be plenty of customizable parts for space gearheads, including different engines, fuel types and even a new “blueprint view” for rocket builders.
When fully ready, KSP2 will be available on PlayStation5, XboxSeries X|S and PC and will have family-friendly content to get your budding engineer interested in rocket science.

On Leap Day, SpaceX launched twenty-three more Starlink high-speed internet satellites into space.
The satellites, which now number 5,504, were launched from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station yesterday at 10:30 a.m.
In order to create a massive constellation that will allow anybody to have access to high-speed internet, SpaceX plans to launch 42,000 satellites into low Earth orbit.
At Cape Canaveral, Florida, Space Launch Complex 40 served as the launchpad for the Falcon 9 rocket.
Starlink 6-40 mission was scheduled to be SpaceX's first of two launches in a 24-hour span.
However, as per Space.com, the NASA Crew-8 mission, scheduled to launch shortly after midnight this morning, was rescheduled till Saturday night, March 2,,,
due to concerns raised by harsh offshore weather during launch abort scenarios.
In addition, NASA stated that it would assess ways to lessen the effect of the cancellation on the employees at the Goddard Space Flight Center.

International space station UFO is fast becoming a most-searched-for phrase on the internet's search engines, and this is because of news of six UFO objects flying past the ISS a few days back. NASA has not released any information about this phenomenon, but it seems nobody is ready to believe anything the US space agency says at this time. The agency is always accused of cutting a live video feed when an unidentified space object flies into public view.
UFO enthusiasts report sighting six UFOs behind the ISS
International space station UFO is fast generating a lot of buzz online since viewers claimed to sight six light objects flying from the right screen of a live ISS feed to the left before disappearing behind the ISS. Analysts claim this to be UFO sighting and say the flying objects are about the size of icebergs, Collective Evolution wrote. Space scientists aboard the ISS have not claimed to see or feel any strange things in their space domain and NASA is expectedly silent on the issue.
A member of the Secure Team 10 which is a group dedicated to researching and documenting UFO evidence claimed the recent activity near the ISS was real. Tyler Glockner, a self-acclaimed alien, claimed the video footage showed UFOs as large as icebergs and never to be mistaken for ice particles. He blamed NASA for cutting the live feed and said the unidentified flying objects were at a little distance from behind the ISS and flew into oblivion.
NASA is accused of always cutting live feed showing UFOs
International space station UFO enthusiasts accuse NASA of deliberately cutting the live feed showing the flying aliens behind the ISS, The Marshalltown reported. Meanwhile, this is not the first time such accusations would be leveled against the US space agency. NASA cut a live feed in early 2015 after viewers said they saw a tiny object rising to show itself in space. And in mid-2016 NASA was also accused of cutting the live feed when people said they sighted a strange object making its way into Earth's atmosphere. NASA is however quick to debunk the sightings as those of space debris, ice particles or meteor.
NASA’s Press Conference to Address New Space Discoveries
NASA’s press conference is scheduled on hold at 1 pm EST or 6 pm GMT on Wednesday, February 22 according to a NASA press release. The announcement of this press conference is already creating a furore as to the exact purpose of the news meeting, and a lot of speculations are already flying around. In fact, informed members of the public insist NASA scheduled the conference to inform everyone of the discovery of new exoplanets capable of supporting life in outer space.
Reasons Why NASA Is Sending Pathogens into Space This Saturday
In their bid to understand how antibiotic-resistant bacteria or superbugs mutate to become resistant to powerful drugs, NASA are sending samples of MRSA superbugs to space for further study. The deadly pathogens will leave Earth on a trip to the ISS on Saturday, February 18, via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that will launch from the Cape Canaveral pad. The study is led by a medical doctor and physicist, Dr. Anita Goel of biomedicine company Nanobiosym.
Cosmic Particles from Space May Crash Your Computers, Phones, Others
Researchers from Vanderbilt University’s Radiation Effects Research Group have blamed computer crashes and phone freezes on cosmic particles from outer space. The research group explained that cosmic particles are electrically charged and generated from cosmic rays. They insist these cause outages and interference with electronics but without any noticed effects on humans.
