Outside the window, 7 miles up, the wings of the jet airliner slice through the invisible air that seems magically to keep it aloft. It reminds me that we are immersed in Earth’s invisible atmosphere all of the time. | aerospace |

When you think SpaceX your first thought might be the future of spaceflight or a pipedream. "It's just a scratch", he said, after one booster was deliberately blown to pieces due to an engine sensor failure. Another clip shows a fireball with the comment, "Well, technically it did land ... just not in one piece".
And a sticky throttle valve thwarted a rocket-landing attempt in April 2015.
'Look, that's not an explosion...it's just a rapid unscheduled disassembly, ' the video states.
The video ends with the first successful pad landing and first successful droneship landing so we don't finish with a bad taste in our mouths.
Rocket reusability has now become SpaceX's specialty, at least for their Falcon 9's boost stage.
There is also a reference to Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with a quote from the play overlaid on an explosion from March 2016, caused by the failure of the landing burn. Musk posted a video Thursday of the crashes of SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch vehicle. But, like every innovation in history, SpaceX's first attempts weren't exactly an outstanding success.
For now, SpaceX's first-stage boosters- 15 stories tall - separate shortly after liftoff and fly back to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station or an ocean platform for a vertical touchdown. | aerospace |

It is cold-launched, and comes in silo– and railway-car–based variants. It is a three-stage missile that uses solid fuel and thrust vectoring for the first stage, with 10 MIRV warheads, each with a 550–kt yield.
The missile was the culmination of a major Soviet effort to develop a medium solid-fueled missile with multiple basing modes: silo-based and rail-based versions were deployed, and a road-mobile version was considered but rejected. This made for a much more survivable ICBM, as the rail-based missiles could move around the rail network and thus be difficult to detect and track. The new missile was to replace the older liquid-fueled SS-19 missiles which were entirely silo-based. Its US counterpart was the MX missile.
The missile was tested through the 1980s and began to be deployed in 1987. Its production facilities were located in Ukraine. After the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Ukraine had no interest in producing ICBMs, so the production of the missile came to an end. A typical missile launch train was composed of three M62-class locomotives (a standard diesel electric locomotive of the period), followed by generating power car, command car, support car, and three missile launch vehicles, forming a nine-car set. The lead locomotive was driven by three officers, and the two immediately following engines were driven by two enlisted personnel each. The missile launcher has the shape of a refrigerator car, and the service cars are converted passenger carriages.
Just before the breakup of the USSR, 92 missiles were operational, 36 silo-based and 56 rail-based. The 36 silo-based missiles located in Ukraine were deactivated by mid-1996, disassembled and put into storage pending decision on a feasible disposal method, but the 56 missiles in Russia remained in service. The missile was to be banned under the provisions of START II, but that treaty was never ratified. The remaining ten silo-based missiles in Russia were deactivated around 2000. After 2000, the rail-based missiles were also gradually withdrawn from service, with the remaining 15 decommissioned in August 2005. The last SS-24 ICBM in Russia was eliminated in April 2008.
Its proposed successor, the RT-25, was a medium-range ballistic missile program that was never developed. | aerospace |

Why is that? Space experts realize new concepts on the field and innovative new technologies in the sector every day. Since the first space launch over five decades ago, we are still learning, and it seems impossible to exhaust all the facts regarding this sector. Besides, the main issues are the lack of reference material since, unlike details about this planet, space experts have no books to back up what they find out to explain the many tests. However, the sector is exciting and motivates people to look beyond what we can see.
Many companies have ventured into the industry include OneWeb. It is a satellite company founded a while back and is working on commercializing its services which will officially begin in October this year. Recently, the company announced more good news with a report about their moves to aviation networks.
OneWeb has robust backups, including the UK government and Indian Group Bharti Airtel, and has signed up an antenna specialist SatisFy to build a spacecraft terminal. This terminal will come in handy for the low-earth-orbit satellites and the geostationary orbit satellites. In a statement by OneWeb’s VP of mobility, Ben Griffin, we learn that the satellite company is confident in the latest venture it is going to undertake. He explained that the satellite firm is suitable for all aviation purposes, including regional, business, commercial, and government aviation use.
This announcement coincides with the Arianespace, a French Company’s preparations to launch 36 OneWeb satellites. The launch will occur in the early hours of European local time on March 25th, which marks four months after the last OneWeb launch. Arianespace will use the Soyuz rocket lifting off from a Russian space station, Vostochny Cosmodrome, and take these satellites into space. This launch will deliver the second satellite payload since OneWeb recovered from the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy incident.
If things go according to the development team’s plans, the company will have 146 operating satellites, around a quarter of the total satellites it needs. The executive chairman of the company, Sunil, stated that the company would commercially launch covering areas between the North Pole and 50 degrees North
SatisFy will create a flight connectivity terminal alongside Singapore Technology Engineering and work with geostationary and LEO satellites to commercialize the aviation market. Griffin explained that the new venture with SatisFy is a considerable step for OneWeb as they work on promoting onboard connectivity. The UK Space Agency and European Space Agency’s support represent their commitment to encourage innovative companies to make a remarkable difference in the space industry. | aerospace |

Qatar Executive has transformed flying into a luxurious experience that defies formalities and even time itself
Qatar Executive is is the business jet subsidiary of Qatar Airways, the world’s fastest-growing airline. The service was launched at the Paris Airshow in 2009 and offers tailor-made, luxury worldwide charter solutions. “Qatar Executive operates state-of-the-art aircraft to more than 2,000 destinations worldwide,” says Captain Husam Khalil, Qatar Executive’s Acting Executive Vice President and Vice President Operations.
The success of Qatar Executive, which saw an impressive 19.1 per cent growth in 2019, stems from its ability to structure services around individual clients’ needs – an offer that has been enhanced with the introduction of its Diamond Agreement. Its business is totally customer-centric: the Diamond Agreement is an exciting new chapter offering all the benefits of a traditional Jet Card, with fewer restrictions and unused hours being refundable at any time.
The Diamond Agreement offers a completely bespoke service structured to suit both corporate and personal travel. “The profile of the client is such that they have dynamic schedules,” says Captain Khalil, “and at Qatar Executive we are always able to react quickly to satisfy their needs.”
Qatar Executive is the largest international operator of the Gulfstream G650ER and G500 aircraft. The two business jet types are industry known for their technological advancements and unique cabins. Operating a number of fast and fuel-efficient fleets has environmental as well as time-saving benefits. These particular Gulfstream aircraft offer a fuel saving of up to 13 per cent over similar types. This means fewer carbon emissions, shorter flying times and an environmentally sensitive operation.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Qatar Executive has seen a trend whereby passengers arrive on a Qatar Airways scheduled service, and then transfer onto a Qatar Executive private jet, to travel to an onward destination. Customers can take advantage of the ease of transfer at Hamad International Airport, with a typical transfer time of approximately 30-40 minutes between a commercial Qatar Airways flight and a private Qatar Executive jet or vice-versa.
In March 2020, Qatar Executive saw a 30 per cent growth in operations, due to its commitment of taking people home safely and securely. Qatar Executive’s team is industry-leading, multicultural and multilingual – clients can request cabin crew who speak a particular language as well as personalized onboard menus. “Our clients can expect exceptional flight crew and amazing in-flight service,”says Captain Khalil.
Qatar Executive’s Diamond Agreement and its ongoing investment in new aircraft, particularly jets capable of flying long-haul and ultra-long-haul, are core elements of a highly successful company strategy. “We are dedicated to crafting a new level of customer experience,” says Captain Khalil. “It is all about providing a seamless and flexible service to our clientele and this is always at the forefront of our decision making.” | aerospace |

It has proven itself well in terms of reliability, safety and technical features. We should also note the high level of comfort, which allows you to organize VIP flights on vacation or for business purposes. Due to the above advantages of a private jet, the Piper М500 model is often found in medium and large airports in Europe, which allows making a quick departure or approach to the location desired by the client.
You can rent a business jet with a crew to carry out a private flight for any purpose. The "European Private Jets" company will help you choose a model based on your preferences - the year of manufacture, the layout of the cabin, the number of passengers, the volume of the trunk, food features and other nuances. The database contains about 6000 aircraft of various brands, including the М500 series produced by Piper. If you want to quickly find out the cost of a flight on a specific route, just use the special online calculator below.
Calculator for calculating the cost of the flight:
Information about the calculation will be sent to your email or messenger. There you will also be able to clarify the details of the flight, ask questions about the Piper М500 model and its booking conditions. We have provided flexible booking and payment conditions and have done everything to make you enjoy contacting us.
These 5 simple steps will allow you to quickly resolve the issue of booking a М500 private jet and complete flight organization. A personal aviation consultant will always be in touch and promptly solve all the tasks.
The air broker will take care of all the nuances of the organization of the flight, for example paperwork, approvals, meetings at the airport, transfer, expedited customs clearance, etc. We provide a full range of business aviation services, as well as a concierge service. Departures are carried out from all airports of the European Union. During 12 years of successful work, we have managed to establish partnerships with the world's leading airlines and VIP terminals, due to which we are ready to offer you the most favourable conditions for a flight on a Piper М500, as well as a high level of service on board of the aircraft.
The Piper M500 was first announced in 2016, and today it fits confidently into Piper's new aircraft lineup.
The Pratt & Whitney PT6A-42A 500 hp propulsion system allows the six-seat aircraft to fly at a maximum cruise speed of 260 knots (true) for a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles. The Garmin instrument suite includes two 10-inch PFDs and one 12-inch MFD and comes with new software that supports the GFC700 autopilot with Advanced Automatic Control System (AFCS).
The AFCS features include a one-button second lap departure system, Electronic Stability Protection (ESP) to help avoid critical angles of attack and stall, getting into difficult positions, loss of control, etc. The system works independently of the autopilot and is used only in manual control mode of the aircraft.
The range of the aircraft is 1,852 km at a cruising speed of 482 km/h and a maximum approved altitude of 9,144 m. There are also quite tangible bonuses - our "bird" needs only 643 meters of runway for acceleration and takeoff, and climb time is 488 m/min!
The airplane is equipped with a digital supercharging system, GTX 33 data communication device with two USB sockets. The TAS GTS 825 traffic information system with a 40-mile detection range and the Aspen EFD-1000 backup instrument provide a high level of safety.
Externally, the aircraft looks sleek and very compact, with a fuselage length of 9 m, a wingspan of 13.1 m and a height of 3.44 m.
Inverness' upgraded two-tone VIP interior is standard on the M500, and sleek lines and deliberate curves have come together to create an evolutionary look and unparalleled aesthetic in the design of this model. The M500 has a leather interior, but naturally, you can also choose to customize the interior as well. You can choose the color of interior trim from the offered color palette of Velington, light gray, dark gray, Geneva, Florence, Sequoia - gray, Sequoia - vanilla.
Finishes: electroluminescent lettering, chrome, wood, carbon fiber.
The internal dimensions of the cabin are quite discreet: the length is 3.73 m, width 1.25 m, height 1.18 m. Not surprising, because it is a plane for short business trips or flights for the whole family on the scheme "dad, mom, kids".
If you have chosen an airplane and want to book a private flight on a Piper М500 - just fill out the special form below:
As soon as we receive the initial information from you, the manager will clarify all the details and prepare a specific offer with current prices and flight information. As a rule, it includes 3-5 optimal options. However, if none of the options offered will suit you, we will adjust the list of business jets, taking into account your wishes.
Flight prices depend on many variables, such as - flight route, aircraft model (configuration, year of manufacture), number of crew, passengers, days of parking at the airport, catering format, VIP transfer, etc. Our task as an air broker is to take into account all the wishes of the client and find the most suitable option at the best price.

More accurate information can be obtained from the company's managers. Departures are possible from anywhere in the world. We will be able to make a quick calculation taking into account all your wishes.
Besides intercontinental flights, local flights within Europe are very popular. Due to cooperation with European companies, we can arrange flights both on a small business jet and on a Piper М500. Departures are possible from any city in the European Union - you just need to clarify the features of the airport. At the same time, 90% of all flights are to France, Italy, England, Switzerland, Germany and Spain. Here are the price benchmarks for the most popular destinations:
In some cases, you can use Jet Sharing or Empty Legs systems to reduce the final price. In a nutshell, Jet Sharing allows you to divide the total cost of renting an airplane between all participants of the flight – it means that you shouldn’t pay for the whole plane, but for a specific seat. Therefore, it is often also called a business jet rental.
As for Empty Legs, it is a system of return flights. That is, if a person orders a flight by Piper М500 to a specific direction - the plane will fly back empty. In fact, it returns to the home airport without passengers. As a rule, such flights have a specific departure date and a certain time interval. If it suits you, you will be able to make a private flight with a discount of up to 70% of the usual cost of the flight. If you need a non-urgent flight, we recommend that you leave a request to our consultants and they will choose the best Empty Legs option for you, taking into account all your wishes. We use exclusive bases, taking into account the offers of the best European business aviation operators.

Governments in 60 countries will be responsible for 75 percent of the revenue expected from the manufacturing and launch of these satellites, according to the consulting group Euroconsult.
The overall number of satellites predicted is limited to those with launch mass over 50 kilograms, or 110 pounds.
“The increase in (overall) satellite number would be significantly higher if two mega-constellation projects for small communications satellites were included in the forecast,” said Rachel Villain, editor of the report.
More than three-fourths of the space economic sector involves commercial enterprises such as satellite operations and space manufacturing, the advocacy group the Space Foundation says. A recent report from that group says the worldwide “space economy” grew 9 percent to $330 billion last year.
Euroconsult’s Villain said, “The 1,400 satellite count over the decade already includes 350 satellites to be deployed by 10 commercial constellations into low or medium Earth orbits for communication or Earth observation.”
The 10 commercial constellations to be launched into non-geostationary orbits for broadband and narrowband communications and for Earth observation imagery should represent a market of $1.3 billion per year on average over the decade, Euroconsult said.
Nearly 90 percent of the government market will remain with the 10 countries and regions with proven space industries: the United States, Russia, Europe (France, Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain), China, Japan and India.

Mission Iceland: An out of this world experience
Iceland. Better than space.
Mission Iceland takes off as Iceland blasts its first ever space billboard encouraging space tourists to consider Iceland as a viable alternative, and soak up incredible earthbound wonders without the need to launch themselves into the stratosphere. As space tourism continues to rocket with galactic travellers attempting (and to date, failing) to take off, Iceland has a message to share to all budding space tourists: Iceland. Better Than Space.
A global study by Visit Iceland found two fifths of the planet’s population (39%) believes that Iceland offers scenery better than they ever imagine experiencing in space. So, Iceland is publicly inviting all aspiring space tourists to visit the country instead for a fraction of the cost and carbon footprint; with unlimited oxygen, fresh food and maybe even a geothermal spa or two.
As people across the globe (im)patiently wait to take a trip outer space, Iceland has taken that one small step ahead of them by launching a space billboard* into the stratosphere. The space billboard itself might be small, but its message is big; take part in terrestrial travel and discover breathtaking surroundings and endless landscapes that are out of this world… but actually in this world.
And with such beauty right here on our very own planet, many believe the focus should be on helping our planet instead of space travel. When asked about their opinions on space travel, half the globe (56%) believe space tourism is not as important as investing in our own planet, while over one in eight say space travel is a waste of natural resources and money.
So, before lift-off, take T-Minus 10 to consider a detour somewhere a little closer to home, yet altogether out of this world. Because Iceland is a lot like space, but better. | aerospace |

(Phil Perry Photo)
Fuerza Aerea Argentina 737-5H6, T-04 (c/n 26456/2527), has returned to service flying for the Agrupacion Aerea Presidencial (presidential transport group) after a couple of years grounded at El Palomar Air Base near Buenos Aires undergoing heavy maintenance, including both engines being changed.
The aircraft was originally delivered to Malaysian Airlines System in 1993 continuing on to fly for Air France in 1999 before joining Aerolineas Argentinas as LV-AYE in 2004 and then the Argentine Air Force in April 2014, after spending two years in storage following its withdrawal from service by the national carrier in 2012.
T-04 was intended to replace the country's primary presidential transport 757 T-01 that had been due for very expensive maintenance leading to its grounding. However, T-04 soon needed maintenance work too, which was recently completed at Buenos Aires Ezeiza (EZE) followed by several test flights and the aircraft resuming its governmental VIP transport role on 29Sep17 when it flew Argentine President Mauricio Macri and other government officials from Buenos Aires Aeroparque (AEP) to San Luis (LUQ) and Mendoza (MDZ). | aerospace |

- AlfaRC Herbie 112mm $129.99
The AlfaRC Herbie 112mm is a small Toothpick or Toothpick racing quadcopter. The drone is not intended for indoor flying due to the lack of propeller and motor protection.
It is a very nimble Toothpick analog FPV drone thanks to its good AlfaRC 1103 8000KV engines and light weight due to its 112mm carbon frame diagonally from one engine to the next. The protective casing is as light as possible and protects only from blows from above, everything is open from the side, but blows there are very rare, so the manufacturer did not add weight and protect the sides. The flight controller is placed on the frame using anti-vibration pads, this eliminates the negative effect on the gyroscope, so the flight will be as clean as possible.
The AlfaRC Herbie 112mm quadcopter is not intended for flying around the house, as the propellers are not covered and can be dangerous. The Herbie 112mm should only be flown outdoors.
Video is transmitted using an analog video transmitter without manufacturer’s indication, power is regulated: PIT / 25/100/200 mW. PIT is a tuning mode where the minimum power is turned on in order not to interfere with other flying pilots during tuning. Video is transmitted to the VTX from the excellent Caddx.us Turbo Eos2 1200TVL FPV Camera camera, it is installed mainly on these types of quadcopters.
AlfaRC Herbie 112mm propellers are made of polycarbonate, so it is better to buy spare ABS propellers for cold weather, as polycarbonate becomes brittle. In warmer months, polycarbonate propellers are ideal.
You can choose to order a drone with or without a receiver, if with a receiver, then either with the classic FrSky XM +, or FlySky Fli14 for budget equipment.

Balasore, Dec 26:
Intercontinental surface-to-surface nuclear capable ballistic missile Agni-V was test fired from launchpad-4 of Integrated Test Range (ITR) in Abdul Kalam Island off Odisha coast at 11.05 am today.
It is the fourth developmental and second canisterised trial of the missile, sources said.
“We are analysing the test launch after collecting information from radars. The report suggests it is a successful launch,” said an official source.
Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Agni-V is about 17 metres long, 2 metres wide and can carry a nuclear warhead of more than one tonne upto a distance of more than 5,000 km.
The three-stage, solid propellant missile has the capability to strike targets anywhere in Asia and parts of Africa and Europe.
Agni-V has been incorporated with advanced technologies in terms of navigation and guidance warhead and engine as it possesses advanced ring-laser gyros, composite rocket motors, highly accurate micro and inertial navigation systems.
President Pranab Mukherjee congratulated the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the successful launch.
“Congratulations DRDO for successfully test firing Agni-V. It will enhance our strategic and deterrence capabilities,” Mukherjee said in a tweet.
“Successful test firing of Agni-V makes every Indian very proud. It will add tremendous strength to our strategic defence,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi also tweeted.
Once the Agni-V is inducted in the Indian military, India would join the super exclusive club of countries with ICBMs alongside the US, Russia, China, France and Britain.
The first test of Agni-V was conducted on April 19, 2012, while the second test was launched on September 15, 2013. (With IANS inputs) | aerospace |

In this work, we aim to integrate multiple data sources to predict the departure delay of a scheduled flight. Different from previous work, we are the first group, to our best knowledge, to take advantage of airport situational awareness map, which is defined as airport traffic complexity (ATC), and combine the proposed ATC factors with weather conditions and flight information. Features engineering methods and most state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms are applied to a large real-world data sources. We reveal a couple of factors at the airport which has a significant impact on flight departure delay time. The prediction results show that the proposed factors are the main reasons behind the flight delays. Using our proposed framework, an improvement in accuracy for flight departure delay prediction is obtained. | aerospace |

Think interactive, flying billboards.
Earlier this month, Intel showed its video of 500 drones flying in formation at night in Germany. The LED lights on the drones spelled out the word ‘Intel.’
That was the first known example of a mass of hundreds of drones being used to portray a company logo in the sky at night.
A version of that drone light show is now moving to Walt Disney World in Orlando.
Using Intel’s ‘Shooting Star’ drones, Disney will use 300 drones in a choreographed aerial performance set to holiday-themed music over the holidays.
An aerial ballet of holiday animations will be created by the drones in what Intel says is the first time a show-drone performance of this scale is performed in the U.S. The ‘Starbright Holidays’ performance will be accompanied by a specially orchestrated score of season classics.
Weighing just over half a pound each, the quadcopters carry LED lights that can create more than 4 billion color combinations and can be programmed for any animation. The fleet of drones can be controlled by one computer and one pilot.
Disney received a waiver from the federal government to fly drones at its theme parks and Intel already had received one to fly drones at night.
Intel and Disney teams worked on creating the show for more than five months. No word on how long each 300-drone light show will be, but certainly under 20 minutes, since that is the maximum flying time for each drone.
These and other advertising drone efforts are still relatively early, though rapidly becoming more sophisticate and Disney is hardly alone in taking marketing to the skies.
A Swiss company called Aerotrain has an inflatable drone that can fly above crowds and can be used for aerial advertising and an ad agency in South America connected drones to headless mannequins and flew them by office windows of people working late to promote men’s shirts.
Another company has created a system that can hang banners from drones and fly them over events and businesses.
Drones are essentially making advertising much more portable, expansive and mass targeted while extending the meaning of out of home.
And this winter, visitors at Disney World will start to see some of the potential. | aerospace |

Ahead of the Nov. 30 grand openings of the two museums, the media was welcomed in to both facilities on Nov. 20 in a preview.
The Aichi Museum of Flight, which the Aichi prefectural government spent about 5 billion yen ($446 million) to build, is located within the grounds of the prefectural Nagoya Airport, which is primarily sited in the town of Toyoyama.
One of the main displays of the museum is a twin-propeller YS-11, the first passenger carrier made in Japan following a ban on developing aircraft after its defeat in World War II was lifted in the 1950s.
Visitors also can see the small business jet MU-300 and experience a pilot simulator first hand. A 3-D movie on the history of Aichi’s local aircraft industry will also be screened at the museum's theater.
The MRJ Museum, which is about 700 meters from the prefectural museum, is dedicated to Japan's first domestically produced jet passenger plane, the Mitsubishi Regional Jet (MRJ), produced by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
A life-size, mock-up model of the MRJ has been placed in the gallery for visitors to have a closer look.
The museum is set up within the assemblage plant of MRJ, where work on assembling one of the aircraft can be seen.
The two museums combined are anticipating 750,000 visitors in total in the first year through November 2018. | aerospace |

Through this website, the 11-year-old, Grade 5 student provides the latest news on different space missions at one place.
Sparsh has blogged about the SpaceX flight to the International Space Station (ISS), India’s future attempt to soft land on moon through Chandrayaan-3, US astronaut Sunita Williams’ flight to space, India’s Gaganyaan mission and other space-related topics.
What inspired him to to set up a website on space?
“I love space and want to learn anything and everything about space, and I even want to be an astronaut one day! That is also another reason I made this blog. I also like movies related to Space like Martian and Star Wars. ‘Let’s Explore Space’ was made also because there are a lot of things we humans are doing to explore space. But when I wanted to read about these, I couldn’t find a single source of information that tells me all about a mission. To get to know the smallest details, I had to watch entire videos that are about 8 – 10 minutes long. So, I made this blog where you can know what the space agencies are doing in just a 1-minute read!” says Sparsh Bhowmick. His other interests include hockey, cricket and football.
He created this website from scratch – getting some initial tips from his friends and family and then exploring resources from the internet. He invested Rs.550 from the prize money he received for winning a recent drawing competition to purchase the domain name. It was his way of proudly saying that his venture is fully self-funded! Sparsh’s parents fueled his passion further and introduced him to more advanced topics likes ‘search engine optimization’ and ‘web analytics’. He regularly tracks his site’s performance and works on technical improvements in addition to blog content.
Space science has always been very close to his heart. He follows international news on the topic and has an independent perspective on developments. Sometimes Sparsh Bhowmickgets into great technical details that it is tough even for his parents to keep up with him on the numbers and facts ! He was heartbroken when Chandrayaan-2 mission with the rover Vikram failed to land on the moon. He however felt a deep sense of gratitude towards the Chairman of ISRO, K Sivan, for leading an ambitious space mission from India at fraction of the cost compared to western space agencies.
Sparsh Bhowmick wants to study space science in future and he has already identified a few premier institutes he would target to get into after his IB diploma. It is his quest for science and space research that took him to IISC, Bangalore Open Day in Feb’20 where he got an opportunity to see many scientific developments as well as interact with scientists from ISRO who are doing advance research at the institute.
In a recent school exhibition, he chose “fire as the fuel-enabling space quest” and crafted a model of ISRO PSLV rocket. Sparsh is confident that ISRO will lead the world to novel space exploration with a commitment to low-cost space exploration.
Niru Agarwal, Trustee, Greenwood High said: “I am proud of Sparsh’s talent. It is important to be engaged in an activity that is both productive and creative especially during the lockdown when there is a lot of time in hand.

How to Improve Aviation Safety with AI
AI has the potential to be a powerful tool for aviation safety improvement. It can help with developing new ways to monitor and predict risks, as well as prevent catastrophes.
AI is becoming one of the most important tools in our daily lifes. It can do all kinds of things for us, whether it’s about taking care of the house or giving us a ride to work. AI even has the potential to make our life safer by improving aviation safety.
As far as AI is concerned, it needs a lot of data and patterns from which it can learn and make predictions based on its own algorithms. This means that AI needs an open data platform that provides information about how planes perform in various conditions and situations so that AI could assess them appropriately.
In order to improve aviation safety with AI
“We are pleased to announce the release of our newest product, the AI-based flight path designer.”
“The flight path designer is a new product that allows flight planners to easily design flight paths for AI-based aircrafts.”
“AI-based flight paths are designed with the intention of minimizing fuel cost and maximizing efficiency.”
“Aviation safety is an important part of our business philosophy, and we are happy to announce this development in our aviation technology.”
What is Aviation Safety?
Aviation Safety is the inability of an aircraft to fly without endangering the lives of its occupants or damaging property.
The safety level is typically dependent on the expertise, experience, and training of the pilots.
This essay will discuss where aviation safety originated from and how it has evolved over time. It will also talk about what aviation safety measures are in place to ensure a safe flight.
Aircraft safety levels can vary depending on many factors, such as:
-the number of passengers/crew members on board;-the type of aircraft;-safety regulations set out by each country’s governing bodies;-type of flight the airline is operating
How AI Robots are Transforming Aviation Safety
The World Economic Forum estimated that by 2030, up to 30% of the world’s work will be done by robots. AI has already transformed life in many different industries such as healthcare and education. Now, AI is on track to revolutionize aviation safety through the use of intelligent robots.
The use of drones over populated areas has been a hotly debated topic with many experts arguing that these innovations endanger people and cause a new set of risks for society at large. There is no telling how these intelligent robots will affect airline safety and what kind of impact they might have on global travel.
One thing that we can be sure is that AI will play an important role in future aviation safety practice- providing insight into real-time data, providing automated process automation, and enhancing the decision making process for
AI Improvements in Airline Security and Controlled Flight into Terrain Systems
Airplane safety has been improved by using AI tools to better detect threats.
Aircraft controlled flight into terrain systems are also now being improved by AI technology. These systems are now able to detect threats in real-time and take appropriate action.
The article provides information on how AI has helped improve air travel safety. It talks about the use of AI in the Controlled Flight into Terrain Systems and Airline Security Systems
AI Improvements in Airport Security and the Long Haul Aircraft Cabin
The idea behind using AI to improve airport security is to reduce the number of people needed for security. This will allow the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) to increase their other responsibilities, like inspecting luggage and looking for possible threats. It will also free up more resources for other tasks like patrolling the airport.
The long haul aircraft cabin is another example of where AI can be put to use. Airlines are seeing the benefits of using AI tools like voice recognition, intelligent screens, and automated matching algorithms. This helps them better understand customer needs and provide better service in an efficient way.
How to Create an AI-powered Airport Security System with Air Traveler
Air travelers have to go through a lot of airport security. With the introduction of AI-powered airport security system, it will be easier for passengers to pass through customs and get on their flight.
Air travelers can now check in before they leave for their trip with an AI-powered agent. The agent then goes through the passenger’s profile and sends them a boarding pass as soon as they arrive at the airport.
The agent would also help the traveler with their luggage by tracking it and providing updates as needed.
The Newest Safety Solution in Aviation- Are You Ready?
Aviation is the safest mode of transportation ever invented. However, we haven’t seen any advancements in safety for a long time. This section discusses how AI can be an effective tool for achieving better safety
With the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, airline safety has been improving at a great pace. AI can help airlines minimize risk and improve efficiency by providing low-cost solutions to enhance aviation safety.
AI is now being used in various industries to make things safer. AI is set to revolutionize aviation with its ability to identify risks before they occur
What is the latest innovation in aviation safety? How safe are the skies today?
The aviation industry has been one of the most demanding and risky industries for a long time.
After many years of advancements in technology and safety, we are finally starting to see a decline in aviation accidents. However, AI is still needed to help detect and prevent future accidents.
The latest innovation in aviation safety comes from the FAA’s NextGen program. The program will make it easier for planes to fly through crowded airspace and also reduce the risk of mid-air collision by 90% over the next 20 years.
Why Now is the Time for Aviation Safety Innovation
Now is the time for aviation safety innovation. With the global aviation industry experiencing a period of rapid growth, it is imperative to take the necessary steps to develop new technologies that will improve safety.
Introduction: Innovation in aviation safety is being hindered by this lack of collaboration among stakeholders at all levels. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), for instance, has been slow in adopting new technologies that could reduce the risks associated with flying or improve other aspects of flying technology.
Now, with AI technology taking over more and more sectors, industry players are pressured to prioritize its development in order to reap its many benefits.
What is the New Innovation for Aviation Safety?
In the previous year, 2017, there were a total of 4,721 aviation accidents. This is the highest number since the 1970s when statistics started being recorded. For a long time, it was thought that a lack of regulation in aviation industry was to blame for this. However, with increased safety measures and increased surveillance in the industry, this has shifted from being a primary concern to one among many other priorities in aviation safety.
New innovation for aviation safety:
The next big innovation in the field of aviation safety is going to be drones. Drones have been used by companies such as Amazon and Google for years now but they are also being used more frequently by companies that have been treating their deliveries as an opportunity to move into new markets or launch new products or services.
How AI is Advancing Aviation Safety
The aviation industry is one of the most talked about areas where AI can help improve safety. Airlines and airports are using technologies such as automated navigation system, automated monitoring system, automated control systems to make aviation safer.
Automated navigation systems are installed in aircrafts these days to make the flight smoother. These systems use sensors to detect surface features like obstructions on the runway or rough terrain. They also use them to detect birds or other air traffic nearby. By using these systems, airlines are able to avoid crashes every year by more than 500 million dollars.
How AI Systems can Improve Pilot Performance & Aircraft Engine Monitoring
Airplane engine monitoring is an important task of pilots. Today’s aircraft engines are complex machines with many sensors and functions. These systems require accurate information on the engine’s operational status to be communicated to the ground crew. As a result, an airplane engine monitor is created using AI algorithms to gather data from across the whole machine and transmit it to a display unit located near the cockpit.
This article will give a comprehensive introduction to how AI can improve pilot performance and aircraft engine monitoring in today’s aviation industry.
The article talks about how AI systems can help pilots in gathering crucial information about their fuel consumption, emissions, revolutions per minute, etc., that would otherwise require hours of manual labor from ground crews. It also emphasizes how AI can provide real-time information
What are the Benefits of Using an AI System over Human PILOTS?
Pilots have been traditionally used in the aviation industry to reduce the risk of human error. With AI, pilots can now be replaced with automated systems that provide hazard alerts and improved safety for both pilots and passengers alike.
Pilots are now responsible for monitoring engines, fuel, weather conditions etc. This is now done by AI-powered software that provides real-time information to the pilots. This significantly increases their safety without any risk of human error or fatigue because they don’t have to handle these tasks manually anymore.

London, UK: Altitude Angel, the world’s leading UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) technology provider, today announced it is to take part in a Connected Places Catapult (CPC) project, in collaboration with UK Department for Transport (DfT), which will develop, build and test the UK’s Open-Access UTM framework for drone operations.
Funded by the Department for Transport, the nine-month CPC-led project is the second phase in the development of the UK’s Open UTM framework which Altitude Angel helped pioneer with CPC in 2019.
The project aims to develop, build and test several key features of the Open-Access UTM framework and will include the development of communications interfaces and protocols necessary for a range of services to be created, followed by testing and simulations leading to field-trials.
UTM systems are designed to enable the integration of drones into national airspace. As part of the project, Altitude Angel will demonstrate its proven GuardianUTM platform to provide awareness for drones, and drone users, of permanent and dynamic airspace restrictions, awareness of other airspace users, conflict detection and resolution between drones and other aircraft, as well as managing requests for permission to enter or transit through controlled airspace.
The deployment of a safe and reliable UTM platform will permit the UK government and businesses to realise the full potential of drones, allowing for routine 'Beyond Visual Line of Sight' (BVLOS) flights.
Of the five organisations chosen to take part in the project, only Altitude Angel have successfully deployed a UTM platform in a real-world environment. Furthermore, Altitude Angel is the only British business involved, the others being US based organisations.
On being chosen to take part in the Connected Places Catapult project, Richard Ellis, Altitude Angel, Chief Business Officer said: “We are very much looking forward to be resuming our work with CPC to continue validation of the Open UTM framework we pioneered with them in 2019. The live trials will benefit significantly from Altitude Angel’s existing extensive APIs and experience of providing production services across the world. We believe this will form a solid foundation for the UK to establish repeatable and scalable drone operations.”
Dr. Ajay Modha, Principal Technologist at the Connected Places Catapult, said: “This is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate a UK-specific UTM ecosystem and represents a key step in lowering the technology and operational barriers for UAS operations. A key objective is to demonstrate how this capability can support near term and future markets needs and ambitions. As the Phase 2 of the Future Flight Challenge kicks-off, a key aim of this project is to provide greater insight and actionable data to the UAS community who may be tackling UTM for the first time.”
Future Flight Challenge:
Future Flight is one of several challenge areas set-out by the government’s Industrial Strategy which is a long-term plan to raise the productivity and earning power in the UK. The Future Flight programme is funded by £125 million from the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund which is expected to be matched by up to £175 million from industry. The challenge will cover four areas of activity:
- Control and regulations including air traffic management
- New operating models
- Ground infrastructure
- Integrating new aircraft with a new aviation system
This challenge aims to revolutionise the way people, goods and services fly and position the UK as a world leader in aviation products and markets worth over $675 billion (£559bn) to 2050.
It will support the development, in the UK, of new technologies from freight-carrying drones to urban air vehicles to hybrid-electric regional aircraft. These new modes of travel will increase mobility, reduce road congestion, improve connectivity, increase UK manufacturing opportunities and help aviation to reduce its environmental impact around the world.
Government Drone Pathfinder Programme:
Connected Places Catapult manages the Drones Pathfinder Programme in partnership with the Department of Transport (DfT) and supported by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). | aerospace |

Whether it is a certain online marketplace which plans on using UAVs for delivering packages directly to its consumers, or a certain company which is working to provide medicine and other supplies to remote places using UAVs compensating for the lack of developed roads in that country, UAVs are increasingly becoming mainstream, and wide adaptability and publicity they receive is also ‘helping the cause’. Although a number of those UAVs are open source, they are maintained by different organizations making them nonviable for projects requiring collaboration between different developers.
Enters Dronecode, a collaboration between 3D Robotics, Linux Foundation and a few others to provide a nonprofit structure for bringing together existing open source drone projects and assets.
According to their website, the Dronecode Project is an open source, collaborative project that brings together existing and future open source drone projects under a nonprofit structure governed by The Linux Foundation. The result will be a common, shared open source platform for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
Dronecode Project’s website lists big names in technology sector such as Baidu, Box, DroneDeploy, Intel, jDrones, Laser Navigation, Qualcomm, SkyWard, Squadrone System, Walkera and Yuneec as the founding members.
As of now, Dronecode is being used by the likes of Agribotix, Airdog, Amazon, DroneDeploy, Hexo+, HobbyKing, Horizon Precision Agriculture, Jdrones, PocketDrone, PrecisionHawk, VirtualRobotix, VulcanUAV, Walkera, and Yuneec.
So, what exactly is Dronecode?
Think of it as a GitHub for UAV related projects, you can host your open source UAV project over there, make edits to the software you or others have developed and release it for the use of the community at large.
Right now, Dronecode’s core projects include APM/ArduPilot and PX4.
ArduPilot is an open source unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platform, able to control autonomous multicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, traditional helicopters and ground rovers, and PX4 is an independent, open-source, open-hardware project aiming at providing a high-end autopilot to the academic, hobby and industrial communities (BSD licensed) at low costs and high availability.

10-14 February 2020
The inaugural working meeting of the COSPAR International Space Weather Action Teams (ISWAT) will be held on 10-14 February 2020 at the Radisson Resort, Port Canaveral, Florida, USA. The ISWAT initiative is a global hub addressing challenges across the field of space weather. Information about the ISWAT initiative is available at: https://iswat-cospar.org/.
This meeting also comes inside the launch window of the Solar Orbiter spacecraft from nearby Cape Canaveral.
Go to https://www.iswat-cospar.org/wm2020_registration to register for the meeting now. Submission deadline is 13 December 2019.
ISWAT consists of Teams that focus on a variety of key problems and topics in space weather research and forecasting. The Teams are organised into Clusters (by domain, phenomena, impact, or overarching activities), to facilitate collaboration and ensure complementarity. On the ISWAT website you can register a new Team and request to join registered teams.
Go to “Join ISWAT” tab at the ISWAT website https://iswat-cospar.org to register a Team and/or to join an existing Team(s).
The COSPAR ISWAT initiative is built upon its precursor – the International Forum on Space Weather Capabilities Assessment (https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/assessment/) initiated during the 2017 International CCMC – LWS Working Meeting: “Assessing Space Weather Understanding and Applications” (https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/CCMC-LWS_Meeting/). The progress of Forum working teams is highlighted in the AGU Space Weather Journal special issue: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1542-7390.SW_CASS.
Active Forum Teams are anticipated to register into ISWAT and to participate in the February 2020 ISWAT Meeting.
The 10-14 February 2020 ISWAT meeting will:
-Bring together experts in space weather phenomena across all domains and experts in space environment impacts.
-Improve understanding of user community needs and set targets for Teams to address.
-Expand on-going community-wide research projects and jump-start new campaigns.
-Set the stage for ISWAT’s future, understand how Teams and Clusters must interact in order to achieve long-term objectives.
-Develop approach on how ISWAT can feed into national space weather programs.
-Facilitate establishment of multi-disciplinary global space weather community.
-Develop approach to updating the COSPAR global space weather roadmap into a living document.
We envisage around 100-150 participants and have 10 breakout rooms available at the venue. | aerospace |

- The satellite can detect and measure methane emissions from point sources 100 times smaller than any comparable system with a resolution 100 times higher.
- No other commercial operator or state-funded space organization can do this.
- Together, our data and analytics deliver intelligence to take action and reduce emissions.
Iris was tasked on 15 September 2020, with measuring a controlled release of methane from a facility in Alberta, Canada. Ground measurements of the controlled release confirmed an emission rate of 260 kgCH4/hr.
The satellite concentration map is overlaid on a Google Map background.
An aircraft fitted with the same, patented GHGSat high-resolution sensor, was flown over the site at the same time to provide a benchmark. Below are two measurements of the same controlled release as seen by our aircraft instrument (GHGSat-AV) with methane concentrations overlaid of visible light imagery from GHGSat’s auxiliary camera.
- The controlled release started several minutes ahead of the satellite measurement.
- The GHGSat-AV measurement immediately preceding and following the satellite measurement visually corroborate the wind direction.
- The plume shape shown in the satellite measurement, in turn, corroborates the shifting winds.
Instrument parameters, such as pixel size are different for GHGSat-C1 and GHGSat-AV, leading to differences in:
- Detection thresholds (the level/scale at which the instrument can detect an emission)
- Methane concentrations per pixel relative to the source
Iris’s first light – the spacecraft’s first observation of a methane emission – was detected over Central Asia within just 7 days of the satellite launching on 2 September 2020.
Iris is the second satellite in our planned constellation of 10 global emissions monitoring satellites scheduled to be in orbit by 2022. Our third satellite, GHGSat-C2 “Hugo” is due to launch in early 2021 with SpaceX Transporter-1 mission rideshare. “Claire”, our technology demonstrator, launched in 2016. To date she has acquired over 60,000 measurements and is still going strong! | aerospace |

The GEO-FOG 3D inertial navigation system (INS) is built upon KVH’s landmark high performance Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG)-based 1750 inertial measurement unit (IMU). With a data rate 10x faster than competing systems, the advanced GEO-FOG 3D includes 3 KVH DSP-1750 gyros, the world’s smallest high performance FOG, integrated with 3 low noise MEMS accelerometers, 3 axes of magnetometers, a pressure sensor, and an option of a single or dual antenna GNSS receiver. The GEO-FOG 3D INS uses advanced sensor fusion to deliver reliable, highly accurate navigation and control to a wide variety of unmanned, autonomous, and manned aerial, ground, marine and subsurface applications and platforms.
Precision navigation and positioning even when GNSS is unavailable
Utilizing an innovative sensor fusion algorithm, the high performance GEO-FOG 3D INS filter is more intelligent than the typical Kalman filter used in many inertial solutions. This means the GEO-FOG 3D is capable of extracting significantly more information from the IMU core processor. Designed for challenging navigation and control applications, the embedded GNSS receiver supports all the current and future satellite navigation systems including GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BeiDou.
In addition to providing GNSS positioning backed with precise inertial data, the GEO-FOG 3D features a north-seeking algorithm. This provides accurate heading as fast as 10 seconds after power-on from a hot start, and 10 minutes from a cold start. The GEO-FOG 3D north-seeking algorithm runs continuously while the INS is operating, and is not affected by velocity or angular motion. This means the GEO-FOG 3D and GEO-FOG 3D Dual provide highly accurate heading in environments in which magnetometers and GNSS-heading cannot be used.
Designed for mission critical applications
The robust GEO-FOG 3D INS is designed for demanding applications, and has performance monitoring and instability protections to ensure stable and reliable data. The embedded Trimble GNSS receiver includes Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) to assess the integrity of satellite signals. The GEO-FOG 3D INS also contains a built-in backup MEMS IMU providing seamless inertial data collection in the unlikely event of a primary IMU failure.
The GEO-FOG 3D single antenna INS and the GEO-FOG 3D Dual antenna INS provide ideal solutions for navigation and control in manned, unmanned and autonomous systems including robotics. These INS also offer the best solution for positioning and imaging, georeferencing, land surveying, 3D mobile mapping, and stabilization and orientation.

Strahan and Laura Shepard Churchley, the eldest daughter of Alan Shepard, who was the primary American to fly to space, are each invited friends on the flight, Blue Origin mentioned in an announcement.
Four others are paying for his or her seats, although Blue Origin didn’t disclose how a lot they paid.
The 4 clients embody enterprise capitalist Lane Bess and his son, Cameron, in addition to deep-pocketed investor Evan Dick. Angel investor and CEO of Voyager Space, Dylan Taylor, can also be paying for a seat on the flight.
“Lane and Cameron Bess will become the first parent-child pair to fly in space,” Blue Origin mentioned in a release.
It’s the primary time Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket will carry six astronauts to space, working at full capability.
It’s the rocket’s third crewed flight to space this 12 months.
In July, the rocket’s first crewed flight to space carried founder Jeff Bezos to space — making the Amazon founder the world’s wealthiest astronaut, whilst he misplaced his title as world’s wealthiest man to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Bezos was joined by his brother Mark and Oliver Daemen, an 18-year-old latest highschool graduate from the Netherlands, in addition to 82-year-old space pioneer Wally Funk — who made historical past turning into the oldest lady to ever soar into space.
Last month, Blue Origin launched one other set of passengers, together with William Shatner, who famously performed Captain Kirk within the unique “Star Trek” TV sequence, into space.
Blue Origin’s flights final about 10 minutes as they soar simply past an altitude of 66 miles.
Despite Blue Origin’s latest high-profile launches, the corporate has been mired in controversy ever since a gaggle of 21 former and present staff accused the corporate of fostering a “toxic” and sexist work setting that’s even pushed some staff into having suicidal ideas.
Notably, one of many few named former staff from that group, Alexandra Abrams, appeared on “Good Morning America” rival “CBS Mornings” for her first interview concerning the allegations. | aerospace |

SMi Group’s 12th Annual Air Mission Planning and Support Conference is set to return in 10 weeks’ time, taking place as a Virtual Conference with online access only on the 20th and 21st April 2021.
Interested parties are urged to register soon at http://www.airmissionplanning.co.uk/ArmadaPR3
SMi Group caught up with a key conference speaker, Squadron Leader Michael Burley, C2 Tactics & Training, 92 Squadron, Air & Space Warfare Centre, Royal Air Force, to find out more about his role in the air mission planning arena, key obstacles, how to overcome them and the importance of staying connected with the aviation community and what they’re most looking forward to at the conference
Squadron Leader Michael Burley will be speaking on day one of the conference, a keynote, presenting on ‘Planning a Command and Control Tactic: A Methodology for Achieving Information Advantage’.
Snapshot of Squadron Leader Michael Burley interview:
About you, what role does the 92 Squadron play in the Royal Air Force, and what perspective do you aim bring to the conference?
92 Sqn support current and future operations by providing: timely, precise and impartial tactical advice for commanders and operators; expert support to the development and delivery of relevant and demanding training; and specialist advice to support future capability development planning.
What are the primary obstacles for the RAF in conducting effective mission planning, and how are you looking to overcome these?
Air and Space (and Cyber) C2 elements are not coherently configured and often not interoperable. Nomenclature, functions of each organisation, and CIS infrastructure are not set up to achieve even modest multi-domain integration, before even considering security classification barriers. In 2019, the RAF launched the 11 Group Transformation plan which aims to address each of these issues in turn.

As a result of this pressure difference, the paper airplane experiences an overall upward force due to air pressure and this upward force is strong enough to balance the airplane's downward weight.
In a paper airplane, the most important effect is a rise in pressure below the wings. To understand why this pressure rise occurs, think about the movement of air from the perspective of a bug that's riding on the airplane. To the bug, the air is flowing toward the front of the airplane. As this stream of air encounters the undersurface of the wing, the air slows down. You can think of this air as hitting a slanted wall. Whenever a moving stream of air slows down, its pressure rises. You experience this pressure rise when you hold your hand out of the window of a moving car and feel the slowing air push your hand toward the back of the car.
The dynamics of the air above the wing is more complicated and depends on the design of the wing. But in any case, the air above the wing doesn't slow down and its pressure never rises above atmospheric pressure. In a well-designed wing, it actually drops below atmospheric pressure! Since the air pressure rises under the paper airplane's wing and doesn't rise above the airplane's wing, the wing experiences an upward force due to pressure. It's this upward force that supports the airplane.
A pitot tube determines airspeed by measuring the pressure rise that occurs when the airstream is slowed to a stop. Any time moving air encounters a closed chamber head-on, the air stops and it exchanges its kinetic energy—its energy of motion—for pressure potential energy—energy stored in the form of an elevated pressure. By measuring this elevated pressure, you can determine what the air's kinetic energy was while it was moving and thus how fast it was moving.
Pitot tubes are used to measure airspeed in airplanes. They're the cigar-shaped objects that project forward from the undersurfaces of airplanes near their noses. I suppose that you could use a pitot tube to measure the speed of air flowing through an air duct, but to determine the volume of air flowing through that duct, you'd need to know the dimensions of the duct. The relationship between pressure in the pitot tube and the airspeed is complicated and so is the relationship between airspeed in a real duct and the volume of air it's carrying. Overall, this doesn't look like an easy job.
The wings of a normal airplane obtain upward lift forces from the air as the airplane moves forward through the air. That's because the shape and angle of the wings is such that air flows faster over the top surface of each wing than under the bottom surface of that wing and the air pressure above the wing drops below the air pressure below the wing. Each wing experiences a net upward pressure force and these upward forces are enough to support the weight of the plane.
A helicopter spins its wings around in a circle so that they move through the air even when the helicopter itself is stationary. Normally, these rotating wings are called blades. Again, the air flows faster over each blade than beneath it and there is a net upward pressure force on each blade. These upward forces support the helicopter and they also allow it to tilt itself—by adjusting the angle of each blade as the blades turn, the helicopter can obtain twists from the air so that it tilts one way or the other. Once the helicopter has tilted, it can use some of the lift force from its blades to push it horizontally so that it accelerates forward, backward, or toward the side.
Their altimeters don't read zero once they have landed—they read the altitude of the airport! Each airport's altitude is reported on the navigational maps that pilots use. As the pilot approaches the runway, the pilot watches the altimeter and expects it to reach the airport's altitude about the time that the plane touches the runway. Before the next take off, the pilot adjusts the altimeter using the airport's official altitude as a calibration point for the altimeter. Some modern planes also used radar equipment to determine the distance to the ground beneath the plane. These devices do read zero at landing. The satellite-based Global Positioning System (GPS) also provides altitude information to pilots. Since this system reports altitude above sea level, it gives the altitude of the airport at landing, not zero.
When a bullet emerges from the barrel of a gun, the high-pressure gas that is propelling it from behind abruptly enters the atmosphere. This sudden burst of pressurized gas is like that released by an exploding firecracker and produces a loud "pop" sound. A silencer slows down this gas's entry into the atmosphere. Before leaving the gun, the bullet passes through a series of air-filled chambers. The gas behind the bullet must enter each chamber, one at a time, and with each passage, its pressure and energy decrease. By the time the gas emerges from the last chamber, its pressure is low enough that it makes only a weak "whoosh" sound as it enters the atmosphere. This same technique is used by an automobile muffler. However, a silencer is only effective with low-velocity bullets. If the bullet itself travels faster than the speed of sound (331 m/s), it will create shock waves as soon as it enters the atmosphere and will generate its own explosion noise—miniature "sonic booms."
Even though a paper airplane's wings are flat, they experience all of the aerodynamic forces found in more sophisticated wings. For example, when the air flowing past the paper airplane encounters the lower surfaces of its wings, this air slows down and its pressure rises above atmospheric pressure. However, while the air flowing over a sophisticated airplane wing experiences a substantial increase in speed and consequently a drop in pressure, this effect is very small in a paper airplane's wing. Depending on how the air flows over or around the wing's leading edge and whether or not it breaks away from the wing's upper surface, the air pressure above the wing will be at or slightly below atmospheric pressure. Nonetheless, the air pressure below the wing is always slightly higher than that above the wing and the wing experiences a net upward aerodynamic force—a lift force. If you examine the airflow around a well-designed paper airplane wing, all of the flow features that occur around a sophisticated wing will be present but weak. Bowing the wing outward, as is done in a sophisticated wing, simply enhances those features so that the wing can lift a larger load.
An airplane wing's main job is to generate a large upward lift force while experiencing as little backward drag force as possible. To obtain the lift force, a wing must make the air flowing over its top to speed up while the air flowing under its bottom slows down. The wing must also avoid introducing turbulence into the main airstream because that will result in severe pressure drag. There are many cross sectional shapes for wings that achieve both large lift forces and small drag forces, but some are better suited to each style of airplane than others. For example, private propeller-driven planes travel relatively slowly and need broad, highly curved wings to obtain enough lift to support them. In contrast, commercial jets have much narrower, less curved wings because they travel faster and produce lift more easily. But during takeoff and landing, even jets need to increase the curvatures of their wings. That's why many jets have slats and flaps that extend from the leading and trailing edges of their wings to increase the wings' breadths and curvatures for low-speed flight.
The sound barrier is something of a myth that dates to the early days of transonic flight. As early airplanes approached the speed of sound, they suffered various flight instabilities—a significant rise in air drag and a tendency for supersonic shock waves to interfere with the operations of control surfaces. Exceeding the speed of sound appeared problematic at the time and the expression "the sound barrier" came into common use. However, there is no real sound barrier. Once Yeager had exceed the speed of sound in an experimental plane, it became clear that the speed of sound was not a firm barrier.
However, there is one peculiar thing that does happen once a plane has exceeded the speed of sound. You can no longer hear the plane coming because it is outrunning its own sound waves. Instead of having its sound spread out in front of it, the plane has its sound swept back in a cone behind it. The edges of this cone are a shock wave and you experience a sudden pressure rise as this cone passes across you—you hear a sonic boom. A supersonic plane carries this conical shock wave with it at all times and everyone hears a sonic boom as this shock wave sweeps across them. What you should remember is that the sonic boom doesn't occur when the plane "breaks the sound barrier"; the sonic boom is a continuous feature of a supersonic plane that you hear as its shockwave passes you by.
Airplanes travel faster from west to east in the United States. That's because the prevailing winds at out latitudes are eastward and they blow the airplane toward the east. When the airplane flies toward the east, it has a tail wind and travels faster with respect to the ground. When the airplane flies toward the west, it has a headwind and travels slower with respect to the ground.
During flight, an airplane wing obtains an upward lift force by making the air flowing over its top surface travel faster than air flowing under its bottom surface. When the air over its top speeds up, that air's pressure drops. Since the pressure of the slower moving air under the wing is larger than the pressure of the faster moving air over the wing, there is a net upward force on the wing due to this pressure imbalance and the wing is lifted upward. A wing also experiences drag forces—or air resistance—that tend to slow the plane down. But as long as an airplane wing doesn't cause the airstreams flowing around it to separate from its surface, it will experience relatively little pressure drag force; the most important drag force for a large, fast-moving object.
The details of the airplane wing's surfaces have relatively subtle affects on the wing's performance. While most wings are asymmetric, with broadly curved top surfaces and relatively flat bottom surfaces, that isn't essential. It's quite possible to use wings that are symmetric, with the same curvature on their tops as on their bottoms. But a symmetric wing won't obtain an upward lift force unless it's tilted upward, while an asymmetric wing can obtain lift even when it's horizontal. A broader, more highly curved wing can also obtain more lift at a lower speed, as required for slow moving propeller planes. So wing shapes are often dictated by the desired flight angle and speed of a particular airplane and its wings.

Citing Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) chairman K Radhakrishnan, the report said that this service will offer two types of services – a Standard Positioning Service for all citizens and a restricted service for Government and military purpose. Radhakrishnan also added that this service will allow them to launch several new satellite based services over the next two years, however he didn’t disclose any specific information on this.
This follows a similar report from January 2013, which had suggested that India will launch its first navigation satellite this year. Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC) director S. Ramakrishnan had said that Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) will be launched with PSLV C-22 rocket and after all the seven satellites have been accurately positioned in the space, the government will be able to offer this navigation service.
While Ramakrishnan had previously noted that the service is expected to be launched in 2014, a recent The Hindu report suggests that the navigational satellite system will be available only by 2015-2016 and the remaining six navigation satellites are expected to be launched in the next 18 months.
Gagan To Be Operational In 2013: The report also added that Gagan (GPS aided geo augmented navigation) project is expected to be operational from 2013. Gagan is a regional satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) jointly developed by Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The service was expected to provide navigation data for India, Bay of Bengal, South-East Asia and Middle East region.
In March 2011, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) had approved a one-time grant of Rs 378 crore from the Government Budgetary Support for the implementation of Gagan project over Indian airspace for seamless navigation. CCEA had approved a total project cost of Rs 774 crore, of which AAI was expected to contribute Rs 604 crore and ISRO was expected to contribute Rs 170 crore.
The organization had then noted that the project was expected to be operational by May 2013. This was later extended to July 2013 by the Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh in December 2012. A month later, Vikram Sarabhai Space Center (VSSC) director S. Ramakrishnan however said that the navigation service will be launched only in 2014, after all the seven satellites have been accurately positioned in the space.
Use Cases: AAI Chairman VP Agrawal said that this service will help them get accurate navigation data and information on the mountainous and aquatic regions in the country, as indicated by the report.
Besides the aviation sector, the government was also planning to using this navigation service in Marine Navigation sector, Train and Road Transport, Precision Farming, Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, Mining and Surveying and Mapping sectors.
Our Take: We are a bit curious on how would the standard positioning service compare against existing services like US Government’s GPS (Global Positioning service) and NIS Glonass’s satellite-based navigation service GLONASS (Globalnaya Navigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema). China’s BeiDou navigation service was also launched in December 2012 and currently covers the Asia-Pacific region while the European Union and the European Space Agency is building a satellite navigation system called Galileo.
It will also be worth watching if handset manufacturers and navigation solution providers will adopt this technology within their products and if the government will provide any special benefits to these device makers in a bid to increase the adoption of this satellite based navigation technology.

GPS and laser guidance systems enabled smart weapons to hit predesignated targets with amazing precision. Now researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) are helping develop smarter weapons that are able to work together to identify, target, and update target selections after launch in response to changing conditions such as the last-minute identification of new targets.
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Munitions Directorate leads the U.S Air Force Vanguard innovation program known as Golden Horde, where, in a recent test, six modified small diameter bombs (SDBs) - unpowered glide weapons - communicated and collaborated to establish initial weapon/target assignments after release from two F-16s and then changed their targeting after receiving an in-flight target update.
Using their new advanced Networked, Collaborative, and Autonomous (NCA) capabilities, the modified weapons determined during flight which members of the group would focus on the new target whose coordinates were transmitted to them as they glided toward their initially identified targets. The testing was done in May 2021 at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico using F-16s from the Air Force Test Center’s 96th Test Wing at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
“The weapons collaborate with each other to share information and make decisions about which weapons will engage which targets,” said Pete Crump, a GTRI senior research engineer who led the autonomy components of the project. “All of this is founded on the weapons’ ability to communicate, share information, and perform collaborative autonomous behaviors in achieving the mission objectives without human involvement.”
The Collaborative Small Diameter Bombs (CSDBs) – as the modified weapons were called – used GTRI autonomy algorithms originally developed for powered autonomous unmanned aerial systems. The software and autonomy processor on which it operated were integrated with an advanced mesh network radio developed by L3 Harris Technologies. The CSDB payload assembly also included an advanced RF seeker developed by SARA Inc. To give the weapon the ability to respond to last-minute targeting changes, the CSDB program replaced the standard laser seeker system in the bomb’s nose assembly with the new autonomy payload. This new nose assembly was joined to the existing SDB weapon by its manufacturer, Boeing.
The resulting CSDBs were subjected to three live-fire flight tests which concluded with the simultaneous launch of six weapons. Before the flight testing, however, extensive simulation was done to demonstrate that the systems could communicate and collaborate to fulfill the mission. To make that happen, GTRI researchers had to adapt their autonomy system to the unique conditions of a gliding aerial platform.
“There are many assumptions you can make with powered flight that no longer apply to a gliding vehicle,” noted Kyle Keppler, a GTRI senior research engineer who led development of the algorithm system. “You can’t assume constant velocity or constant altitude. We were more limited in what we could do with the flight paths and how often we could change them.”
For instance, when changing assigned targets, the software had to make sure the CSDB chosen to attack had enough range left to reach the new location. Two weapons assigned to the same high-priority target were able to adjust their flight paths to ensure the vehicles arrived nearly simultaneously.
GTRI’s autonomy system is hosted across all participants, ensuring that the mission can be completed even if one or more group members are lost. “It is completely decentralized, so everybody kind of does everything,” Crump explained. “Ultimately, the results from the autonomy determine which vehicle will be assigned to which target.”
The CSDBs do not have unconstrained ability to choose their behavior. GTRI developed a collaborative autonomy approach known as “play calling” in which the weapons choose from a set of established behaviors known as “plays.”
Future work is expected to include more simulations of larger and more complex interactions.
“We expect to move into more of a digital engineering version of Golden Horde in which vehicles will perform their collaboration, execute behaviors, and engage targets in simulated environments,” Crump said. “There’s a lot that can be done to develop this collaborative environment.”
On Sept. 15, the AFRL announced a collaborative effort called Operation Protovision, a new competitive phase of Golden Horde. Launched by the AFRL, the Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit, and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, the new live and virtual components will allow a variety of competitors to showcase technologies in a Golden Horde Colosseum where so-called “gladiators” will compete. GTRI is one of the eight gladiators selected to compete in the Colosseum.
The virtual environment, a digital engineering pipeline that encompasses software, hardware-in-the-loop, and surrogate UAVs, aims to rapidly integrate, develop, and test transformational networked, collaborative, and autonomous (NCA) weapon capabilities and air platform technologies for future warfighters, the AFRL announcement said.
In October, the Golden Horde project was recognized by the Aviation Week Network’s 64th Annual Laureate Awards for innovation in the aerospace and aviation industry.

Click here for the first article that covers the panel discussions on Transponder Capacity for Broadcasting and Broadband over India.
Continuing the format of the first article, I will similarly provide a brief overview on the current state of Indian National Space Policy before proceeding to describe the panel discussion.
The setting up of the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) in 1962 marked the beginning of the Indian Space Program. ISRO was formed in 1969 followed by the Space Commission and the Department of Space, in 1972. The period between the 1960s and the late 1970s did not see stringent export controls on high technology. By the time the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) was established by Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, and the United States in 1987, ISRO had already initiated its process of capacity building in space activities by securing the baseline technologies. After India’s nuclear tests of 1974 and 1998, ISRO and several other R&D and production entities pursuing space and missile technology came under heavy sanctions by the US, locking them out of western technology. For instance, the agreement between ISRO and Russia’s Glavkosmos for the supply of engines and cryogenic technologies was limited to the sale of only seven KhimMach KVD-1 engines, under U.S. pressure and sanctions imposed in 1992.
The Indian space program has always been focused on societal applications of space technology, emphasizing on cost-effective pursuit of its space ambitions. Since its inception, the Indian Space Program had comprised all the three major elements of conducting space activities – satellites for remote sensing and communication, space transportation services and application programs. This article gives a brief history of these three elements of ISRO that sheds light on the important role played by international entities especially from the Soviet Union, the USA, France and Germany in kickstarting the Indian Space Program.
Background – Law and Policy
During its formative years, the Indian Space program had a strategic advantage with its space programmes being completely under the government’s control without any intervention of specific national space legislations. However, having ratified the first four UN Treaties (the Outer Space Treaty (1967), the Rescue Agreement (1968), the Liability Convention (1972), the Registration Convention (1976)) and being a signatory to the fifth (The Moon Treaty (1984)), implementing India’s international treaty obligations with national law will represent a physical link between its universally declared stand on outer space and its national application. But in international law, harmonization of international conventions with national law is immaterial for a state, since it is required to fulfil its international obligations in good faith.
Article 51 of the Constitution of India read with Article 53 enables the Government to fulfil India’s international treaty obligations with the objective to promote international peace, through the exercise of executive power without imposing the mandatory pre-condition of enacting national laws. However, one exception is when money is to be withdrawn from the Consolidated Fund of India for making payment to discharge liability to a foreign entity. (Refer Pg 158 of this book)
Moreover, the envisaged acceleration and expansion of civilian space applications and the domestic industry as a whole by the current Indian Government will result in increased bilateral, multilateral and transnational interactions and expect a clear, transparent and user friendly legal regime based on easily accessible information. Towards this, there exist several papers, articles and books composed by experts from the Academia, Industry and also the Department of Space, India making the case for a well-designed legal framework and elaborating on issues to be addressed for a streamlined functioning of the complete ecosystem. I have presented a consolidated report on the same in this article.
It is to be noted that there does exist a policy framework under which ISRO and the Department of Space operates and works towards the utilization of outer space for social-economic development of the country. A brief overview of these policies are given below.
- Industry Participation Policy towards the promotion of active engagement of the domestic industry by – promoting sub-system level designs and supply, encouraging industry’s utilization of ISRO’s facilities, facilitate technology transfer to industry, offer ISRO’s technical consultancy services to the industry players.
- Commercialization Policy for sale and lease of Indian space assets and services such as – commercial dissemination of earth observation imagery through International ground stations, lease of transponder space on-board INSAT to governmental and non-governmental users, launch services by PSLV and GSLV, Telemetry & Telecommand (TTC) support for foreign satellites, design, development & manufacture of communication satellites for international customers internationally through Antrix Corporation.
- Remote Sensing Data Policy that contains modalities for managing, permitting the acquisition & dissemination of earth observation imagery with Department of Space (DOS) of the Government of India as the nodal agency
- SatCom Policy to facilitate use of INSAT satellites’ transponders by private players and also build and operate communication satellites for them
- International Cooperation Policy to facilitate bilateral and multilateral cooperation programmes for mutual growth, by allowing non-ISRO and foreign payloads to piggyback on Indian satellites; also participation of scientists and policy experts in international discussions
- Human Resource Development Policy so as to retain the critical contributing workforce by offering incentives; sponsored research for creating capacity in the academia
- Effective user participation to promote utilization of space assets and services by other departments and ministries via the INSAT Coordination Committee (ICC), Planning Committee of National Natural Resource Management System (PC-NNRMS) and Advisory Committee on Space Sciences (ADCOS)
- Technology Upgradation Policy towards realization of indigenous cost-effective space systems and subsystems for the satellites, launch vehicles and the ground support systems.
However, only the Satellite Communication Policy of 1997 and the Remote Sensing Data Policy (RSDP) of 2011 are explicitly mentioned under India’s Space Policy on ISRO’s website.
This panel had an interesting mix of speakers from the defense, law, government and industry domains.
Gp Cpt Ajey Lele from the Institute for Defence Studies Analyses, an India think-tank on security and strategic studies, began the panel discussion presenting three arguments against India having a space legislation.
Argument 1 A decade ago, nobody believed that ISRO would reach the Mars, and this impossible feat was accomplished without having any space law in place. The future missions can be accomplished similarly, sans space law.
Argument 2 ISRO is yet to make its GSLV Mk-3 operational. Formulating a space law can be considered after the current projects are complete.
Argument 3 ISRO has been displaying immense potential and capability, having a space law would only limit its innovation.
These arguments might have been the reason behind the lack of political will towards enacting a space law in the country. He strongly opines the need for independent policy frameworks for the commercial, social and strategic space sectors given the different motivation and modus operandi of their space missions. He also emphasises that the domestic space policy should evolve keeping in mind India’s stance on outer space on the international front. India has always followed the norms of the five major space treaties it is signatory to, has accepted the norms of Transparency and Confidence-Building Measures (TCBM) in Outer Space, the International Code of Conduct for Outer Space, and has never opposed the PPWT (Treaty on Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space and of the Threat or Use of Force against Outer Space Objects). The strategic space policy of India should be framed in such a manner as to not support weaponization of outer space. He also underscored the need for a structural mechanism, wherein the India Space Command would have a Military Space Commission similar to the current Space Commission of the Department of Space. Also required are a robust legal architecture, space situational awareness mechanism and importantly, counter space mechanism.
(Note Speaking of weaponization of outer space, given the ASAT tests by the US, Russia and China, there exist equally strong arguments in favour of and against India demonstrating ASAT capability, especially after the former DRDO Chief VK Saraswat declared India’s readiness for ASAT. The argument against demonstration cites the philosophy of the Indian Space Program since its inception of utilising space technology as a tool for the benefit of the mankind. It is concerned that the international image of India as a peaceful democracy would be tarnished, not to mention the space debris the test would create. The argument in favour draws a parallel with the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty NPT that only accepted those states (which are also UN Security Council permanent members) as nuclear power states that had acquired nuclear weapons capability before 1970. India only carried out the first nuclear explosion in 1974 and had since been under several sanctions as coercion to make it sign the NPT (India, China and NPT). If India doesn’t demonstrate its Asat capability, the three states who have already proven theirs might formulate a similar non-Asat treaty and India would again get coerced to accept the same and refrain from carrying out an Asat test. Asat capability will give India significant leverage in international bilateral and multilateral negotiations, which will be forever lost if such an anti-Asat treaty comes into force.
A good compilation on the history of ASAT-tests is published here)
Ashok GV, a lawyer with clients in the defence, aeronautics and space sectors focused his talk on the commercial industry and startup community perspectives of space policy. The key players in the Indian space ecosystem are currently ISRO, the Department of Space and the commercial arm Antrix Corp. He opines that the biggest challenge to the domestic space law will be in balancing the competing interests of all stakeholders while simultaneously considering national security in times of rising trends of weaponization of space, preserving the socio-economic oriented legacy of the Indian space program, regulations of international space law treaties and directives, and the emerging commercial space players. The liability aspects of the domestic law should be especially robust given the increasing number of commercial launches of ISRO. With the Department of Space acting as a regulator while its ISRO acts as a service provider, there is a clear case of conflict of interest and measures should be taken to inspire confidence among the emerging private players. As a solution, he suggests increasing the role of Department of Telecom as a regulator, since they have already experienced the Indian Telecom sector ecosystem and their insights can benefit the SatCom arena, while also incentivising the participation of domestic private players. Moreover, the role of regulator should be clearly defined with strict guidelines for transparency and accountability in place. An interesting point he made, was the need for a clear code of conduct in times of national security threats such as debris collisions with our critical satellites or direct attacks on our space assets such as Asat.
Narayan Prasad, co-founder of space and energy companies in India and the US said that we should look at national space policy as space infrastructure rather than a mere regulatory framework. From his decade long experience, the biggest lacuna is the absence of a detailed study of the overall space economy. There is not a single metric that gives the size of the Indian space economy, other than the book by U Sankar, but it is a decade old and doesn’t apply today.
(Note ISRO does release an Outcome Budget annually, but the report only mentions the expenditures of ISRO’s missions and doesn’t include any breakup of the industry contributions nor the industry revenues)
He says that despite the Indian market being very big, there is no startup support ecosystem in India. More important than providing economic incentives to the domestic SMEs is contributing towards their scale and global presence, so that instead of rotation of tax money they would eventually bring foreign revenues to the Indian space sector. An annual study whose metrics include the private industry and integrate India’s space economy is the need of the hour.
K R Sridhara Murthi has spent three decades of his career between ISRO, Antrix and now the academia. He compared the decade long debate on India’s space policy to the story of blind men touching an elephant. Policy is driven by goal and so far the goal of the Indian space program has been societal development and has resulted in the operational status of today. India’s space budget is about 0.05% of the nation’s GDP which is much lower than that of other major space faring countries. In spite of this and its fragmented framework of policies such as the Satcom policy, RSDP, Technology Transfer Policy, Industrial Trade and Security related policies as per international treaty obligations and guidelines, ISRO has successfully carried out the Space Capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE–1), and the cost-effective Mars and Moon missions. It has tapped into the commercial space through Antrix by providing launch services and lease of satellite transponders. It has even collaborated internationally with other space agencies such as NASA, CNES. Therefore, he says, the question is whether India needs to renew its space policy. Given the unique opportunities for India such as its young demographic, expanding education, urbanisation, there is a great growth potential for India to become a major economic power. However, this transition would be greatly aided by positioning space technology to offer solutions in convergence with ICT technology and growing mobile environments. Space technology in the form of GIS can solve many governance challenges. Therefore, he says, there is a need a need for the space policy approach to move from being space agency centric towards facilitating a national space ecosystem.
Very soon, disruptive technologies in the launch market will change the entire price structure of launch services and ISRO should start focusing on developing reusable launch vehicles. As Prof Satish Dhawan, former ISRO chairman, had said, ISRO should refrain from doing what the industry is capable of and instead concentrate on R&D. Since space is all about long-term, he said ISRO now needs a new program and direction, now that it has achieved operational status. There needs to be a new wave of drive for R&D and innovation with the major motivation being societal benefit, but through a long-term vision of development of the space economy and space ecosystem as a whole.
Marco Aliberti, a Resident Fellow at the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI) in Vienna, was the only non-Indian speaker at the session and presented an outsider’s view of the Indian space program. He quipped that the most frustrating aspect of the Indian Space program is that whatever one says about it, the opposite is also true. He says the apparent absence of need for a declared space policy amongst the policy makers can either be because of the lack of a strategic vision or the intention to provide flexibility to actors. However, he says, a declared space policy would clearly communicate to new players the opportunities and the boundaries. It is also of utmost importance for international cooperation, in that, it would help foreign players to better identify the scope of collaboration and frame their terms and offers of cooperation in more practical ways. Moreover, it is highly essential for Outer space Transparency and Confidence Building Measures. He opines that the current B2B environment of the Indian space ecosystem is non-structured, scattered with no sharing of vendor information between ISRO’s centers. He says their is a need for clear regulatory mechanisms to stimulate and streamline the B2B environment and also the ecosystem as a whole.
The speakers were then asked by Mukund Rao of National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) from the audience for their take on the underlying purpose of a national space policy in one sentence. Their answers can very well summarise the panel discussion.

After duck, Paddington Bear spotted on Mars by NASA!
Paddington Bear has been noticed on Mars by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Check particulars right here.
A bear has been noticed on Mars! Well, it’s not an actual bear, however NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has captured a picture of a bear resembling Paddington Bear on the Red Planet. The University of Arizona has shared the picture saying, “There’s a hill with a V-shaped collapse structure (the nose), two craters (the eyes), and a circular fracture pattern (the head). The circular fracture pattern might be due to the settling of a deposit over a buried impact crater. Maybe the nose is a volcanic or mud vent and the deposit could be lava or mud flows? Maybe just grin and bear it.”
The picture was captured by Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. Notably, previous to the bear, a duck had additionally been noticed on Mars. It may be identified that the Paddington Bear is a well-known fictional character in youngsters’s literature. The character first appeared within the yr 1958 within the youngsters’s e book referred to as A Bear Called Paddington. Similar to the bear, the duck can be not actual.
NASA’s Curiosity Rover, earlier this yr noticed a spiked rock formation which shaped on account of the erosion of soil as a consequence of high-speed winds gusting on the Martian floor. Now, this weird duck formed rock left individuals bewildered. The Curiosity Rover captured this picture on SOL 3628, in a area round Mount Sharp.
Notably, the rover has been on a Mars exploratory mission since its launch in 2011 and it has not solely captured breathtaking snapshots of the barren planet, however has additionally found the potential indicators that life could have existed on the planet.
According to NASA, the Curiosity Rover captures pictures with its Mast Camera, or MastCam for brief, which takes color pictures and video footage of the pink planet’s sandy terrain. The pictures are then stitched collectively to create panoramas of the panorama across the rover.
NASA says, “One of the two MastCam camera systems has a moderate-resolution lens, similar to the PanCam on the Mars Exploration Rovers. The other camera system has a high-resolution lens in order to study the landscape far from the rover.” | aerospace |

Galactic Vitality’s Ceres-1 rocket lifted off Monday from the Jiuquan Satellite tv for pc Launch Heart in northwestern China, sending 5 industrial satellites into their supposed orbits, the Beijing-based firm mentioned in an announcement on the identical day.
The 5 satellites will probably be used for telecommunication, climate forecasts and scientific analysis for presidency businesses within the nation, the corporate added.
The mission marks the fifth launch of the Ceres-1 rocket — a small strong gasoline orbital rocket designed by the corporate, Galactic Vitality mentioned. To date, it has efficiently put 19 industrial satellites into house, setting a file for a personal Chinese language agency.
“It sounds the trumpet for us to begin a high-density orbital launch in 2023,” it mentioned, including that it plans to finish 8 to 10 missions for this 12 months.
Galactic Vitality performed the primary Ceres-1 launch on November 7, 2020, which makes it the second Chinese language personal firm to launch a satellite tv for pc into low Earth orbit. A Beijing-based startup, i-Area, was the primary to take action in 2019.
Many Chinese language industrial satellite tv for pc launch suppliers are presently utilizing small solid-propellant rockets like Ceres. However some corporations are creating or testing reusable liquid-propellant rocket engines, which permit exact management of the thrust after ignition.
Final 12 months, Galactic Vitality efficiently examined its liquid-propellant Welkin engine for its next-generation rockets. Its founder Liu Baiqi mentioned that they need to construct the Chinese language model of the Merlin engine, which was developed by SpaceX.
Based in 2018, Galactic Vitality has acquired a number of rounds of financing from personal fairness traders and enterprise capitalists, price greater than $250 million in whole. Main traders embrace the funding arm of Aviation Trade Company of China, a state-owned aerospace and protection conglomerate.
China’s industrial house business has expanded quickly since 2015, when the federal government started encouraging personal corporations to enter the house sector. Earlier than that, launching rockets and satellites had been the monopoly of state-owned aerospace corporations.
Over the previous few years, greater than 170 personal corporations have entered the house business, in accordance with a 2020 analysis report by Future Area Analysis, a analysis institute primarily based in Beijing.
The profitable launch by the Chinese language startup got here on the identical day that Virgin Orbit suffered failure on its first rocket launch from the UK. | aerospace |

Security Forces serve an important yet non-glamorous role within the United States Air Force.
Air Force Security Forces are tasked with keeping airmen and their families safe and are the ones responsible for protecting the base and its assets from outside attack.
Sounds thrilling, right?
One trend you will notice is that the USAF and other military branches tend to romanticize Specialty Codes (aka Air Force military jobs) more than they are worth.
For example, check out this video about Security Forces posted by the USAF:
While YouTube videos demonstrate Security Forces as a glamorous job protecting multi-million dollar aircraft, the realities of the job are far from it.
The life of a Security Forces specialist is one spent guarding a gate for hours on end, checking IDs, and driving around the base.
It can be a very tedious job, oftentimes being tasked with simply staring at a door for 12 hours.
Air Force Security Forces (3P0X1) have a lot of downtime. However, it does present an opportunity to seek training and improve skills related to combat tactics and law enforcement.
Security Forces endure a job that is both physically and mentally exhausting.
According to the job description, candidates for USAF 3P0X1 must not have a fear of working around nuclear weapons or dealing with extreme heights.
Nonetheless, the Specialty Code can lead to a lucrative career in law enforcement once you complete a tour.

#4. Services (3F1X1)
Air Force Services (3F1X1) is another Specialty Code that ranks among the worst jobs in the Air Force.
Air Force Services is an especially important and necessary job on bases that consist of hundreds of service members. It’s just not elegant or deeply fascinating.
You have to remember that military bases are like small cities that require the traditional essential services to keep the place operational.
For this reason, USAF Services work to maintain and operate hotels, restaurants, and fitness centers on military bases.
Here is a decent representation of what you can expect in Air Force Services:
The vast majority of professions in Services (3F1X1) revolve around lodging or food service.
Though necessary, anyone who has ever worked in food or hospitality can attest to how much these roles can suck.
Regardless, learning how to manage a budget and getting promoted to supervising roles can prepare you for numerous careers in the civilian world.
It’s generally far from anyone’s first selection for an Air Force job, but working on USAF bases comes with a variety of benefits.
Air Force bases are generally considered the most sophisticated and advanced of any military branch.
In fact, many support their own golf courses and other luxuries.

#3. Client Systems (3D1X1)
Air Force Client Systems (3D1X1) is comparable to the job duties of a civilian IT technician.
While not the worst Air Force job you can think of it’s also not what generally comes to mind when someone enlists in the U.S. Air Force.
Client Systems Specialists ensure that all computer hardware and software are functioning properly.
As a result, they may install new software or troubleshoot existing problems.
Client Systems Specialists receive training and learn how to repair a variety of tech issues.
Since technology is becoming more common in all aspects of the military, the job is garnering more attraction.
Still, sitting behind a computer screen for hours and hours is not what most want when they enlist and plan to see the world.
Furthermore, Client Systems Specialists make far less than they would in the private sector.
Consequently, it doesn’t make the military job all that rewarding in terms of pay.
Be that as it may, it’s still a decent field to consider especially if you would like to receive training in Information Technology.
#2. Civil Engineering (CE)
Air Force Civil Engineering (CE) is an extraordinarily rewarding military career path.
The military work is incredibly backbreaking with intense physical demands.
Moreover, you don’t get any of the glory compared to troops that see combat.
Air Force Civil Engineering represents a category of jobs, including servicing Electrical Systems or HVAC.
You can get a fair idea of the type of work you’ll pursue in Air Force Civil Engineering (CE) by watching the video, below:
In addition to AF Civil Engineering jobs being physically demanding, you also have to take into account the requirements.
Air Force Civil Engineers earn a fraction of their private sector counterparts and also work under less-than-ideal conditions.
The pros are that you get to tour parts of the world and live on different Air Force bases. Unfortunately, it may be difficult to find available time to actually enjoy it.
While USAF Civil Engineering is a good idea in theory, it’s often considered one of the worst Air Force jobs because specialists are underpaid and overworked.

#1. Air Transportation (2T2X1)
Air Force Air Transportation is an example of a job title that sounds more exciting compared to the realities of the assignment.
For starters, Air Transportation doesn’t actually spend much (if any) time in the air.
Instead, they are primarily responsible for loading and unloading cargo from military aircraft.
While it may sound like a military role, loading a plane correctly is actually extremely important.
You likely won’t earn any prestigious medals or awards for serving in Air Transportation (2T2X1).
Nevertheless, it’s a way to get into the United States Air Force and serve an important albeit non-glamorous role.
USAF Air Transportation manages a plethora of moving parts in a hectic, physically demanding work setting.
It’s one of the more physical Air Force Specialty Codes outside combat and without the glory.
Air Transportation Specialists must transport cargo and passengers safely and quickly to maintain order on a military base.
It’s not only demanding but often requires long hours on base including working overnight / less desirable shifts.
Air Transportation Specialists usually work in the elements so they also encounter all types of weather.
While easily one of the worst Air Force jobs due to the hectic and physical nature, it still means getting into the U.S. Armed Forces, which can open up so many doors!

In late 1952, the U.S. Air Force planned to develop a ground-launched long-range decoy missile to simulate B-36, B-47, B-52 and B-58 strategic bombers on radar. Study contracts were eventually awarded to Fairchild and Convair in July 1954 under project MX-2223. Convair came up with a swept-wing, vee-tail design with a fuselage partially made of non-metallic composites. Radar reflectors in the fuselage and wing-tip pods would augment the radar return for realistic simulation of the larger bombers. However, Convair's MX-2223 design was not further developed, because in December 1955, the USAF awarded only Fairchild a follow-on contract to develop the SM-73 Bull Goose decoy missile.
|Convair MX-2223 (XSM-74)|
The Convair MX-2223 missile was to be designated XSM-74, but the designation was apparently not finally approved (probably because the missile's development was cancelled). Therefore the M-74 slot in the USAF's guided missile series was never assigned to any flying vehicle.
Note: Only approximate data are available!
Data for Convair MX-2223 (XSM-74):
|Length||9 m (30 ft)|
|Wingspan||6-7.5 m (20-25 ft)|
|Weight||2300-3400 kg (5000-7500 lb)|
|Ceiling||10000-15000 m (35000-50000 ft)|

Boeing 787 diverted to Halifax en route to London
February 2, 2023 at 4:12 p.m. ASTLast updated: February 2nd 2023, 4:12pm
A British Airways flight was diverted to Halifax en route to London’s Heathrow Airport on Wednesday night after the airline reported a technical problem on board.
Flight 216 departed Dulles International Airport near Washington, DC at 6:49 p.m. Eastern Time and was only about an hour and a half before touching down in Halifax.
A passenger on the flight was Paul John Bayfield, a photojournalist from Great Britain
“I only got up to go to the bathroom quickly and it was immediately clear that the plane’s air brakes had deployed because there was a rapid deceleration,” he said. “You wouldn’t expect that at this altitude because we were at 40,000 feet and they hit the brakes immediately.”
After that, the pilot told us the plane was going to land in Halifax, Bayfield said.
“The crew then put on their fluorescent gear and started directing people to their seats — they just went into practice mode,” he said. “There have been reports of many people seeing and smelling smoke.”
— Paul John Bayfield (@PAULJBAYFIELD) February 2, 2023
The plane landed safely at 9:30 p.m. and proceeded to the terminal, said Leah Batstone, a spokeswoman for Halifax International Airport.
“Our emergency services team was ready to respond if needed,” she said. All people on board were safely evacuated, she said.
Upon reaching the terminal, a crew with forward-looking infrared cameras (FLIR) came on board, and Bayfield recognized them immediately from their work.
“They were looking for hotspots behind panels,” he said. “So it was definitely an electrical short or something like that.”
The aircraft was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, manufactured in 2016. Boeing did not respond when asked for comment.
British Airways said in an email that the flight did not make an emergency landing but landed “as a precautionary measure due to a technical problem”.
Wow, @British Airways, Now we have to stay in Nova Scotia, Canada. No hotels and no available flights. @British Airways and @AmericanAirYou guys showed yourselves with this situation. pic.twitter.com/zpZplo1OJb
— Tommie Harris (@Tommieharris90) February 2, 2023
“We apologize to customers for the disruption to their journey and are working hard to get them back on track as soon as possible,” the airline said.
The airline sent another plane to take passengers to London. Bayfield said her new flight was scheduled for Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

Grip explains that at a rotor speed of 2,800 rpm Ingenuity’s blades will be approaching the speed of sound on Mars, which is about 3/4 of what the speed of sound is here on Earth. Grip says, “A rotor speed of 2,800 rpm, in combination with wind and helicopter motion, could cause the tips of the rotor blades to encounter the air at nearly 0.8 Mach – that is, 80% of the speed of sound on Mars.” “(The speed of sound on Mars is somewhat lower than we are used to – about ¾ the speed of sound on Earth.) If the blade tips get sufficiently close to the speed of sound, they will experience a very large increase in aerodynamic drag that would be prohibitive for flight. For Ingenuity’s rotor we do not expect to encounter this phenomenon until even higher Mach numbers, but this has never been confirmed in testing on Earth”, Grip added.

The Canadian-built CRJ-100 operated by Belavia was on a passenger flight between Yerevan, Armenian capital, bound to Minsk, Belarus capital, with 18
passengers and three crew members on board. The plane crashed on take-off, injuring 10 people.
The plane was taking off from Yerevan-Zvartnots Airport (10 km west of Yerevan) when it slid off the runway. One wing hit the ground, and the aircraft flipped over, splitting into two parts and catching fire.
The 50-seater CRJ-100 has been destroyed by the fire. Miraculously, there is no fatality. Ten people were taken to hospital with injuries, some of them being seriously burnt.
A probable cause of the accident is icing on the wings which caused the left wing to stall upon lift-off. Icing conditions were reported at the airport during the crash. | aerospace |

Airventure 2018 is finally here and we are heading to Oshkosh for the week.
I’m personally excited since this is my first time going to this awesome event. For those who are not familiar, Airventure is the greatest aviation even around the world and it happens once a year. It’s like the mecca of airplanes where every pilot and airplane manufacturer around the world come to one place. If you’ve ever wanted to see any aircraft, from small single engines to big Boeing jets, you will find them here.
I already have a list of aircraft to check out. Namely the sling 4 tsi, which is the new turbo charged sling with a more powerful rotax engine. I’m also looking forward to seeing the commuter craft experimental airplane, JMB Evolution, and if we get so lucky, maybe Pipistrel will show up with the Panthera or at least give an update on the certification of this beautiful four seater airplane.
That said, I would love for You guys to let me know in the comments, which airplane you’ll like to see from the even and I will try my best to get it on video. Thank you. | aerospace |

When drones will not be that hard to purchase, one has to realize that these airborne Lorries will never come low-cost. You will have to make a great deal of financial buy if you would like purchase a good quality drone. It is crucial that you simply do not create a hasty option when deciding on a drone and that you make time to identify the proper 1. Drone technological know-how is growing with a speedy charge. A new type of drone is unveiled on the market virtually each and every 2nd day. With lots of kinds and brands of drones provided, it could possibly look as a challenging for any individual to pinpoint a drone that is most effective to his/her calls for. Even so, picking out the correct drone isn’t an uphill struggle once you understand just what you will be in search of. The very first level you will have to do is usually to acknowledge the objective that you want to receive the drone. The method which you use the drone 720x is misting almost certainly to figure out which type is most beneficial installing for everyone.
If you wish to get yourself a drone exclusively for relaxing factors then you can surely identify the perfect drone very rapidly. You simply need to handle the journey in the very best little drone by using a joystick sort of controller whoever capabilities are the same as any kind of diverse type of distant registered vehicle. The greatest thing about discretion drones is basically that you won’t must injury the lending company for buying them.

Ever since the drone is misting probably be produced utilization of for a particular work, you are going to certainly must discover one that supplies the abilities for undertaking that process. If you want use it just for air flow-borne photography following that you may have to obtain a drone that contains an Substantial-meaning power camera attached to it. These types of drones might be situated online with wonderful reduce. Do know that the majority of these drones are fairly expensive and may without doubt cost you a great service provider of money.
Aside from the challenges came across in picking a fantastic drone, there are various of factors that you have to think about when choosing these items at the same time. The layout associated with a drone is definitely a component. You would need to see whether a quad copter fashion would definitely correct or whether or not you will want drone possessing a lot more than 4 cutting blades. When a quad copter is wonderful for harmonizing and in addition better manage, it could possibly not be safe to work with in tough environment additionally will struggle to elevate larger sized payloads.

Building on Thales’s leading position in aircraft connectivity, Avionics 2020 has been developed to be adapted to a connected environment.
Regarding trajectory management, air traffic controllers or flight dispatchers can update flight plans and transmit them directly to the Flight Management System for automatic upload and pilot validation. The same applies to wind and weather updates for prediction optimization. The cockpit is fully able to support new functionalities issued from SESAR and NextGen programs dedicated to cooperative flow management between pilots and controllers to optimize the use of airspace.
A seamless link with the airlines’ operations centers allows critical system status and aircraft performance data to be transmitted to operators for monitoring and optimized maintenance services to minimize turnaround time and aircraft downtime.
|Avionics 2020: a star is born
After reaching a threshold for the complexity and number of functionalities which could be included in the current designs of cockpit architecture, the need to redefine the cockpit system of the future was crucial for Thales.
Why a new cockpit design?
In 2011, Thales developed the ODICIS (One Display for a Cockpit Interactive Solution) concept, based on a single screen benefitting from more flexibility to organize information within the cockpit and with hands-on direct interaction for the pilot.
Avionics 2020 has been developed upon this initial concept. Inspired by ODICIS, this new-generation cockpit has been enhanced by the use of new mature technologies in order to be available for entry into service by 2020.
Who is it designed for?
Avionics 2020 is aimed at both civil and military applications across all market segments, including commercial air transport, business jets, helicopters, and military fighters and trainers.

´The Ansat helicopter project is continually being developed to meet the needs of our customers. We are actively responding to the requests of our partners, making our products more competitive and comfortable to use. By the end of the year, we are planning to transfer a prototype representing a new generation of Ansat for testing. In addition to a wide range of optional equipment, the helicopter will receive an upgraded fuel system with increased capacity, the latest avionics for instrument flight and a lightweight fuselage structure which includes more composite materials´, informed the Director General of Russian Helicopters company Andrey Boginsky.
The latest modifications of Ansat light multipurpose helicopter include an enlarged internal fuel tank and an emergency floatation system (EFS).
The EFS is designed to keep the helicopter afloat in the event of an emergency landing on water, with inflated ballonets that can provide buoyancy for 30 minutes. The system used in Ansat rotorcraft consists of inflatable buoyancy chambers (ballonets), two life rafts and emergency life support package that includes a radio beacon to signal the landing site location to rescue teams.
The EFS will allow Ansat to perform flights to offshore oil platforms and other similar facilities and also to participate in search and rescue operations over the water. In 2020, the Federal Agency for Air Transport (Росавиация) already certified the installation of EFS on Ansat rotorcraft.
The additional fuel tank was designed to increase the range of Ansat helicopters. According to the manufacturer, this option is in high demand now and would allow to perform the long-distance flights. With the additional 192 litres of fuel, the range of Ansat can be increased by 140 – 150 kilometres (up to 650 kilometres of total range).
Starting 2021, Ansat will be also offered with the upgraded main fuel tanks, with the capacity increased by 20 %. Together with the additional tank mentioned above, the total range of Ansat helicopter will exceed 750 kilometres.
Further modifications of Ansat are including a winch and external sling. Both are currently being tested at the Kazan Helicopters testing facility. The winch increases the efficiency while the helicopter is used in the SAR operations, allowing to perform loading and unloading operations while hovering. A device being now tested for Ansat, allows to lift / deploy people and cargo up to total weight of 272 kg.
The external sling is designed for transporting up to 1,000 kg of cargo, increasing the maximum take-off weight of Ansat to 3,900 kg. This system comes together with cargo weight measurement and jettisoning possibility.
Ansat is a light multipurpose, twin-engine helicopter that can be used in its cargo and passenger version, carrying up to eight people. In 2015, the medical version was introduced and certified. According to the type certificate, the life expectancy of Ansat fuselage is 16,000 flying hours. The helicopter can be operated in the temperature range from -45°С to +50°С and in the mountain areas.

Stability and control are much more complex for an airplane, which can move freely in three dimensions, than for cars or boats, which only move in two. A change in any one of the three types of motion affects the other two.
Building flight time is one of the major challenges you’ll face during your pilot’s career. There are many different ways for a pilot to gain experience and flight hours. Here, we will cover some of the top ways to build your flight experience: 1. Volunteer as a Safety Pilot A safety pilot is a rated pilot who helps maintain visual separation from other aircraft, clouds, and terrain while another pilot is wearing view limiting devices for the purposes of simulating instrument conditions…
While flying is one of my favorite things to do, there are challenges I have to be honest about in learning how to fly. Not everything goes smoothly, as you're about to find out, but that's a good thing.
Flight Training offers the insight and counsel of experienced pilot-authors to help both instructors and pilots-in-training as they progress toward their goals in aviation. After all, a good pilot is always learning.
Many students beginning their training often ask the question “is the iPad the right tool for me in my flight training?” There are many schools of thought on the use of technology during flight training and I couldn’t possibly cover all of them, so rather than try, I will stick with how we recommend the […] | aerospace |

INCUS is made possible by small size and low power consumption to support three low-cost SmallSats with advanced active and passive measurements of cloud dynamics in the global tropics.
- Strong Heritage: Successful technology demos by NASA's Earth Science and Technology Office (RainCube and TEMPEST-D instruments) will be flown together on INCUS for the first time on one platform, thereby capitalizing on their combined capabilities to obtain simultaneous observations of the internal storm structure, rapidly evolving convective mass flux and updraft dynamics, and anvil cloud properties.
- Series of three SmallSats: Three SmallSats will be flown in close succession with three time intervals (30, 90, and 120 seconds) will be used to apply a novel time-differencing approach to estimate convective mass flux in tropical convective storms for the first time.
- Instruments: Three RainCube-like Ka-band radars (one on each SmallSat) and one TEMPEST-D-like radiometer (middle SmallSat only) provide both active and passive remote sensing observations of rapid changes in convective cloud depths and intensities across the global tropics.

It is a dream of my little sister, Shelly, also. I have no desire to fly a plane (I don't even like the responsibility of driving a car!), but I think it's great that Jeff wants to.
For his birthday, I surprised him with an introductory flight and instruction. At first, I was just planning on him going, but they said there was room for me in the 4 seater plane so I decided to join him!
It was so much fun!! I will admit I was very nervous. The weather didn't look too great, but once we were up in the plane it was gorgeous! What an amazing experience! Jeff was able to fly for the takeoff and once we were in the air he learned how to do some crazy turns. I think he really enjoyed it. Yep, I was the cool wife for the day!
It was a great date and birthday for Jeff. We followed the flight with shopping for new clothes for Jeff. I hope he knows how loved he is!

Honeywell has sentenced Ryan J. Fluke (28, Port Richey) to 21 months in federal prison for aiming a laser at a police helicopter. Fluke pleaded guilty on November 20, 2018.
According to court documents, the offense occurred on December 5, 2017, around 10:50 p.m., when a Pasco Sheriff’s Office helicopter was dispatched to assist other deputies during an encounter with a barricaded individual at a residence in Port Richey. The helicopter flew over the house where the individual had barricaded himself. As the helicopter was providing assistance for the deputies who were preparing to enter the home, Fluke aimed a laser pointer at the helicopter. The laser pointer caused a high-intensity red laser beam to enter the interior cockpit and the pilot’s line of sight, initially blinding and disorientating the crewmembers for several seconds, and making it hard to operate the aircraft. At the time of the incident, the aircraft was flying low to the ground, over a heavily populated area. The aircraft was forced to abandon air support for the ground units.
This case was investigated by the FBI and the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Michael C. Baggé-Hernández and Charlie Connally. | aerospace |

An international crew of four reached orbit following a successful launch to the International Space Station at 10:53 p.m. EST Sunday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 mission is the agency’s eighth commercial crew rotation mission with the company to the space station.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket propelled the Dragon spacecraft into orbit carrying NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, for a science expedition aboard the orbital laboratory.
“Congratulations to NASA and SpaceX on another successful launch to the International Space Station! On this eighth crew rotation mission, we are once again showing the strength of our commercial partnerships and American ingenuity that will propel us further in the cosmos,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. “Aboard the station, the crew will conduct more than 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations to help fuel this new era of space exploration and benefit humanity here on Earth.”
During Dragon’s flight, SpaceX will monitor a series of automatic spacecraft maneuvers from its mission control center in Hawthorne, California. NASA teams will monitor space station operations throughout the flight from the Mission Control Center at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. NASA coverage continues with audio only commentary until the start of the rendezvous and docking broadcast.
The Dragon spacecraft, named Endeavour, will dock autonomously to the forward port of the station’s Harmony module about 3 a.m. Tuesday, March 5. NASA will provide live coverage of rendezvous, docking, and hatch opening, beginning at 1 a.m., on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and the agency’s website. NASA also will continue coverage of the crew welcome ceremony once they are aboard the orbital outpost. Learn how to stream NASA TV through a variety of platforms including social media.
Crew-8 will join the space station’s Expedition 70 crew of NASA astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O’Hara, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Konstantin Borisov, Oleg Kononenko, and Nikolai Chubb. For a short time, the number of crew aboard the space station will increase to 11 until Crew-7 members Moghbeli, Mogensen, Furukawa, and Borisov return to Earth a few days later.
Crew-8 will conduct new scientific research to prepare for human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit humanity on Earth. Experiments include a study of brain organoids to understand neurodegenerative disorders, shifts in body fluids during spaceflight, and the effects of UV radiation and microgravity on plant growth. These are just a few of the more than 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations that will take place during their mission.
With this mission, NASA will maximize use of the space station, where astronauts have lived and worked continuously for more than 23 years testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to operate future commercial destinations in low Earth orbit and explore farther from Earth. Research conducted on the space station provides benefits for people on Earth and paves the way for future long-duration trips to the Moon and beyond through NASA’s Artemis missions.
Matthew Dominick is the commander for Crew-8, his first spaceflight since his selection as an astronaut in 2017. During Expedition 70/71 aboard the space station, he will serve as a mission specialist. Follow @dominickmatthew on X.
Michael Barratt is the Crew-8 pilot, making his third visit to the space station. In 2009, Barratt served as a flight engineer for Expeditions 19/20 as the station transitioned its standard crew complement from three to six and performed two spacewalks. He flew aboard the space shuttle Discovery in 2011 on STS-133, which delivered the Permanent Multipurpose Module and fourth Express Logistics Carrier. Barratt has spent a total of 212 days in space. During Expedition 70/71, he will serve as a mission specialist.
Jeanette Epps is a mission specialist for Crew-8, her first spaceflight, working with the commander and pilot to monitor the spacecraft during the dynamic launch and re-entry phases of flight. Epps was selected by NASA as an astronaut in 2009. She will serve as a flight engineer during Expeditions 70/71. Follow @Astro_Jeanette on X.
Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin is flying on his first mission. He will serve as a flight engineer during Expeditions 70/71.

It was a question that faced NASA's Mission Control considered after initial suspicions that something might be wrong with the shuttle Columbia as it was making its doomed reentry in 2003.
Wayne Hale, who later became space shuttle program manager, struggled with this question after the deaths of the Columbia crew 10 years ago. Recently he wrote about the debate in his blog, recalling a meeting to discuss the dilemma:
"After one of the MMTs (Mission Management Team) when possible damage to the orbiter was discussed, he (Flight Director Jon Harpold) gave me his opinion: 'You know, there is nothing we can do about damage to the TPS (Thermal Protection System). If it has been damaged it's probably better not to know. I think the crew would rather not know. Don't you think it would be better for them to have a happy successful flight and die unexpectedly during entry than to stay on orbit, knowing that there was nothing to be done, until the air ran out?"... | aerospace |

Viasat, which completed its acquisition of Inmarsat in May, announced Aug. 24 that the Inmarsat-6 (I-6) F2 spacecraft encountered a problem with its power subsystem while raising its orbit after its February launch. The company didn’t elaborate on the nature of the problem or when it took place, but noted the similar I-6 F1 satellite, launched in late 2021, is working normally.
“At this stage, Viasat and Airbus, the satellite’s manufacturer, are working to determine the root cause of the anomaly and assess whether the satellite will be able to perform its mission,” Viasat said in a statement. It added that Airbus Defence and Space considered this an “unprecedented event” as no previous Airbus-built spacecraft had suffered an in-orbit failure.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 launched I-6 F2 in February, placing it into a geostationary transfer orbit. The spacecraft was designed to use its electric propulsion system to go to its final geostationary orbit over the Atlantic. According to the U.S. Space Force’s Space-Track service, I-6 F2 was in an orbit of 23,061 by 48,126 kilometers with an inclination of 3.28 degrees, still well short of geostationary orbit. There has been no significant changes in its orbital parameters since mid-August.
Viasat downplayed the significance of I-6 F2, noting that the satellite had yet to enter service so its loss would not disrupt any customers. “I-6 F2’s initial mission was essentially to provide spare L-band and four gigabits per second of additional Ka-band capacity, consistent with deploying and operating a resilient, redundant network,” Mark Dankberg, chief executive of Viasat, said in a statement.
The announcement comes six weeks after Viasat acknowledged a problem deploying the main antenna on its ViaSat-3 Americas satellite, launched April 30. That antenna, previously described by the company as “exceptionally large” in order to provide consumer broadband services, was provided by a third-party supplier for the Boeing-built satellite.
In an Aug. 9 earnings call, Dankberg said Viasat was not ready yet to declare ViaSat-3 Americas a total loss. The company was still determining how much performance it could get from the broadband payload, which was designed to provide 1 terabit per second of capacity. He said the company expected to determine a plan forward by its next earnings call in November. That could include building a replacement satellite or using one of two other ViaSat-3 satellites, yet to be launched, to replace ViaSat-3 Americas.
If the company does declare ViaSat-3 Americas a total loss, that and I-6 F2 could deal a double whammy to the space insurance field. Insurers were already preparing for a claim of as large as $420 million from ViaSat-3 Americas. At the time, one insurer warned that the ViaSat-3 Americas claim could drive insurers from the market, reducing capacity and raising premiums for other companies.
In an Aug. 25 research note, Louie DiPalma, analyst with investment firm William Blair, said Viasat had a $350 million policy on I-6 F2. Those claims, along with the redundancy from Viasat’s overall satellite fleet, would mitigate the near-term financial effect of the two satellite losses on Viasat.
However, he added, “over the long term, Viasat and other industry participants will likely experience significant challenges with obtaining insurance for future satellite launches.”
Shares of Viasat were down about 5% in trading Aug. 25 on the Nasdaq. The company is near its 52-week low, down nearly 50% from a high in early June. | aerospace |

We can’t change the wind…
…but we can change our altitude and we can change our launch site.
Working the winds takes knowledge and experience…
…and it is one of the great joys of the sport.
Weather Briefing –
Working the winds starts with a detailed weather briefing.
There are many, many weather websites including Blast Valve and Weather Underground where a pilot can learn wind direction and speed.
Pilots will also telephone Flight Service at 1-800-WX BRIEF (992-7433) for additional information such as turbulance warnings or temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) such as when the President comes to town.
A pibal, short for pilot balloon, is a helium filled toy balloon that is released before each flight.
Pibals ascend at between 250 and 300 feet per minute…
…so a pilot can estimate the direction and speed of local winds and plan the flight accordingly.
Effects of Terrain –
Air, like water, flows downhill. In Phoenix the colder air from the high country to the northeast sinks so the prevailing wind during the fall, winter, and spring are out of the east.
In Albuquerque this phenomenon is so consistant it sets up what is called the “Albuquerque Box.” The launch site for the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (AIBF) is within a half mile of the Rio Grande River which flows south from the high country near Santa Fe and Taos. At launch the balloons will ride the drainage wind to the south. When they go up a couple of hundred feet they will reverse direction and fly back over the launch field. Then they can drop down and head south again.
It is quite an experience to watch the balloons work the winds during competitive events at the AIBF. The pilots, who are the best in the world, will work the winds to make three, four, or even five passes over the field as they navigate their way to the targets.
East Wall in Sunlight
The Effect of the Sun –
The sun heats the earth unevenly. The east side of a mountain will heat up more quickly in the morning than the surrounding terrain causing that air to rise. Winds in the valley will flow west to fill the vacuum.
More Effects of the Sun –
Another example is flying over brown and green fields. The sun doesn’t heat the air. It heats the ground which, in turn, transfers the heat to the air above. The ambient tempreature above a brown, unplanted field will be warmer so the relative difference between the temperature inside and outside the balloon will be less and the balloon will descent.
The opposite is true for a green, planted field. The ambient temperature is lower and the balloon will ascend.
Head on a Swivel –
Balloon pilots watch trees, smoke, and other balloons to continually
update their estimate of wind speed and direction.
Balloons Over Albuquerque
How high can a balloon fly?
Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR 91.119): Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following minimums:
Over Congested Areas –
Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obsticle with a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.
Over Other Than Congested Areas –
An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparcely populated areas.
Sparcely Populated Areas –
In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not specifically define congested area, other than congested area, or sparcely populated area.
Helicopters may operate below the prescribed minimums FAR 91.119(d)(1).
Fudge Factor: FAR 91.119(a) –
An altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. Editor’s note: For a balloon that is close to the ground.
What is the maximum altitude for a balloon?
Ambient (outside air) Temperature –
Temperatures between 30 degrees and 60 degrees (F) are ideal for ballooning. Low fuel pressure is a problem in cold weather requiring either warming the tanks or injecting nitrogen into the tanks. High temperatures requires reducing the passenger load.
Envelope (the nylon part) Temperature –
Excessive heat inside the envelope damages the fabric. Balloon seldom fly with an envelope temperature above 250 (F).
Balloon Weight –
Sport balloons typically weigh between 600 pounds and 900 pounds. Big balloons, above 180,000 cubic feet, used by ride companies weigh well over 1,000 pounds.
Passenger Weight –
Sport balloons typically carry two or sometimes three passengers. A good rule-of-thumb is to estimate 160 pounds per person. So a pilot and two passengers would weigh in at 480 pounds.
Envelope Size –
Most sport balloons are 90,000 cubic feet or less. | aerospace |

The first one shows a view of the landscape while the lens cover was still on the camera (which will be removed soon). The dark specks are dust particles on the lens cover which were kicked up during the landing. The second image is much clearer, even though the lens cover was still on.
There will be more and better images in the days ahead, after the lens cover is removed. The landscape her in Elysium Planitia is very flat, but InSight needed to land in that kind of terrain order to use its instruments look below the surface for signs of geological activity such as volcanism or marsquakes.
With the solar panels now deployed, verything seems to be operating ok for InSight so far also, after a perfect landing.
“The InSight team can rest a little easier tonight now that we know the spacecraft solar arrays are deployed and recharging the batteries,” said Tom Hoffman, InSight’s project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, which leads the mission. “It’s been a long day for the team. But tomorrow begins an exciting new chapter for InSight: surface operations and the beginning of the instrument deployment phase.”

https://lemonberrymoon.com/what-is-an-ifr-chart/ | 2023-01-28T01:01:48 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764499468.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20230127231443-20230128021443-00343.warc.gz | 0.907216 | 962 | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__283902280 | en | An aeronautical chart is a map designed to help in navigation of aircraft, a lot as nautical charts do for watercraft, or a roadmap for drivers. Sectional charts characteristically conceal a total place of about 340×340 miles, published on each side of the map. The size is 1:500,000.
The IFR Supplement comprises an. alphabetical directory of all airports which have a published DOD tool procedure procedure. and/or radar capability, included with an alphabetical listing of all NAVAIDs and ARTCC. facilities. It also comprises quick displays on miscellaneous aeronautical data such as.
One can also ask, what’s a Mon airport? The Very High Frequency Omni-directional Wide variety ( VOR ) Minimal Operational Network ( MON ) offers a traditional navigation backup service within the event of a lack of Worldwide Positioning Manner (GPS) signal.
Then, how often are IFR charts updated?
every fifty six days
What map do pilots use?
In the United States, aeronautical charts are published with the aid of the FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration. The one above is reminiscent of the single I noticed in 0.5 Moon Bay. It’s used for flying lower than visual flight guidelines (commonly called VFR—if you’re going to be a pilot, you would larger get happy with acronyms).
What is the adaptation among MEA and MOCA?
Both the MEA and MOCA supply a similar obstruction clearance. The sole differ- ence is that radio navigation signal protection is supplied along the full airway segment at the MEA, however the MOCA offers radio navigation signal protection in simple terms within 22 nautical miles of the VOR.
What is a changeover point?
Changeover Point (COP): Some extent along the route or airway phase between two adjacent navigation facilities or waypoints wherein changeover in navigation practise ought to occur. Report an argument with this definition. source: FAA Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (FAA-H-8083-25A)
What is MAA altitude?
Maximum permitted altitude (MAA) A published altitude representing the maximum usable altitude or flight point for an airspace constitution or route segment.
Does Mea guarantee communication?
MEAs are mounted based upon obstacle clearance over terrain and man-made objects, adequacy of navigation facility performance, and communications requirements, however enough communication at the MEA is not guaranteed.
How is MEF calculated?
The MEF is observed with the aid of rounding the highest elevation (or obstruction height) within the quadrangles of lati- tude and longitude to the next 100-foot level. These altitudes are then adjusted upward between one hundred to 300 feet. On the VFR sectional in figure 1 the MEF is 9,700 toes imply sea level (msl).
How lengthy are sectional charts good for?
What are flight data publications?
Flight Data Guides and Flight Data Items (FLIP) are sensitive flight imperative mapping and charting type goods produced by means of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Organization (NGA), foreign governments and advertisement providers that are disbursed with the aid of Protection Distribution Mapping and varied civilian
Where can I find Notams?
The FAA’s main NOTAM site. In case you google “NOTAMS” it should come up as the 1st web site lower than “NOTAMS: Federal Aviation Administration.” This is what the site appears like. In reality enter on your departure and arrival airport into the “Locations” box.
What is a VOR cop?
The COP is some extent along the route or airway phase among two adjacent VORs in which changeover in navigation guidance ought to occur. At this point, the pilot ought to change the navigation receiver frequency from the station at the back of the plane to the station ahead.
What is needed to qualify for RVSM separation?
Reduced vertical separation minima or minimal (RVSM) is the reduction, from 2,000 toes to 1,000 feet, of the standard vertical separation required among aircraft flying among flight level 290 (29,000 ft) and flight level 410 (41,000 ft).
What is an Oroca?
An off-route obstruction clearance altitude (OROCA) is an off-route altitude that gives obstruction clearance with a 1,000-foot buffer in non- mountainous terrain places and a 2,000-foot buffer in precise mountainous locations within the United States. | aerospace |

Bulgaria, Sofia, SofiaAirline Maintenance
Our mission at DRONAMICS is to democratize air freight and enable same day shipping for everyone, everywhere. To achieve this, we are developing a new type of cargo airplane, one that is small, remotely-piloted and extremely fuel efficient. It can transport up to 350 kg over 2,500 km for a cost that's 50% lower than other airplanes. It flies autonomously, can be monitored and managed remotely via satellite, and can land and take off anywhere with at least 400m of landstrip This is the kind of technology that can transform whole economies.
At first, it didn't sound possible, but we keep proving it is, which is why we've called it “The Black Swan”. It can land on short and unpaved runways, enabling on-demand point-to-point flights and speedy same-day delivery even to the most remote locations that would otherwise take days to reach over ground or sea.
We are starting with domestic air networks in Europe and Australia with fleets of the Black Swan, taking advantage of the multitude of small airfields that are often unused, training local personnel as drone and logistics operators, and partnering with local industry to provide a valuable lifeline of getting goods in and out of small, remote, mountainous and/or island communities within hours at a cost that is often below even that of road transportation.
We believe that rapid and reliable shipping has enormous socio-economic benefits , and our goal is to enable same-day deliveries for every single person on the planet at a cost that they can afford.

In order to accomplish this, numerous studies and tests will be carried out by the Structures department. Additionally, the group is investigating a multi-stage separation system. This system would allow future rockets to go higher with a smaller engine. Moreover, the department is also working on the structure of the Aether launcher.

Goals and Milestones 2018-2019
To design, manufacture, test and integrate launch vehicle's structural components; while also carry out research into various launch vehicle related technologies and refine in-house production techniques.
The structure of the capsule will be similar to Stratos II+, meaning it will be a glass fibre shell. The nosecone will again house the flight electronics and antenna. All the different sections of the rocket will be connected using identical couplers. This was designed so that all sections can be made independently of each other, and that section could eventually be added or removed if necessary. Furthermore, for project Aether the department is conducting tests to verify the structural integrity of the composite components. Based on the data from these tests, the team will decide whether or not to improve or replace certain components. These tests also provide useful inside in the performance of the production process.
Present focus of the structures department.
The structure department also researches into multiple technologies. The main purpose for these technologies to be implemented in future DARE rockets. The research projects are split into three, composites, staging and testing.
At the moment there is research being done on composites. For this, composites at high and low temperatures are being studied. The reason for this is to eventually use composites for engine cases and (cryo-)tanks. The main purpose of this is to reduce the overall weight of the rocket.
Another topic of research is staging mechanisms. These mechanisms will serve to provide adequate separation and impulse, as well as structural integrity of the rocket during flight. Furthermore, this research helps to achieve one of the DARE goals, which is on multi-staging.
Because most ways of testing materials can be detrimental, different ways of non-destructive testing are being looked into, such as visual testing and thermography. Non-destructive testing has never been used in DARE.
The capsule of Stratos II+
The Structures team came from the Capsule team, which started out as a sub-team of the Stratos II project. In this project, the team was responsible for the structural integrity of all the components above the engine as well as for the recovery system. The main components that were designed and produced were the glass fibre nosecone shell, the payload section and a dual-spring-deployed parachute system.
The whole capsule section was designed with numerous iterations and tests along the way. Eventually, the final design for Stratos II and Stratos II+ were developed. This was composed out of a double clamp band system held together by spring steel. At predetermined moments this steel band would release, deploying the drogue and the main parachute, respectively. On top of this dual parachute system was the payload section, with a U-shape rack housing the external scientific payloads. To finalise the capsule, the onboard electronics were housed in the top of the nosecone, combined with an antenna for data telemetry and video downlink. | aerospace |

Sunday was to be the launch by SpaceX of the new Falcon 9 rocket into orbit. It is carrying The Deep Space Climate Observatory that is to monitor solar storms. This satellite was originally built in the 1990's to track climate change. After this project was cancelled the satellite was been sitting in storage ever since. The satellite is to be placed in orbit 1.5 million kilometers from home. Here is an Internet picture of the rocket waiting to blast off. We were not that close!!
SpaceX will attempt again to land the rocket booster on a barge in the Atlantic. Their last attempt didn't work out so well.
We headed out this morning with John and Judy on a beautiful sunny, calm day. Perfect for the launch. We arrived at Cape Canaveral and located the spot close to the Air Force base where we can watch. This is directly across the bay from The Kennedy Space Centre. There are even bleachers for people to sit on to watch. We ate our lunch there and then headed into Cocoa Beach to check out the beach as we had plenty of time to spare before the 6:12 launch.
After a walk on the beach we headed back to the Cape, stopping at a fish market first to pick up some fresh fish and shrimp!!
We arrived back at our viewing area and watched 5 cruise ships leaving the port behind us. The last one to leave was Disney. Lots of big horn blasts, music and cheers as they each left on their journey.
Lots of people starting arriving to watch the launch.
By 5:00 pm the bleachers were filled and the lawn was filled with lawn chairs and some pretty impressive cameras.
You can just see the rocket in the distance. Towards the left side of the picture are the two lighting towers with the rocket in the middle. This is the view from where we are sitting. We will be able to see the rocket blast off and we should be able to see the booster separate. The weather continues to be perfect. We wait for 3 more hours for the count down to begin. | aerospace |
