This mission, Starlink v1.0 L19, will deliver its payloads in the original shell of the constellation in a 53 degree slope.
The weather forecast shows a 40% chance of favorable weather at liftoff, where the primary concerns are thick clouds, cumulus clouds and electrical surfaces. If the plane does not take off on Sunday evening, the forecast for the next day shows a 60% chance of good weather, with primary concern being cumulus clouds.
This will be the sixth flight with the Falcon 9 booster 1059. This first stage was launched in December 2019 with the launch of CRS-19 mission. It was then launched CRS-20, a Starlink rideshare mission, SAOCOM-1Band latest NROL-108 on December 19, 2020. The launch vehicle conducted a static fire test early Saturday afternoon in preparation for the launch.
The mission will use a flight profile that includes a short secondary launch of the engine in the second stage approximately 45 minutes after liftoff, where the satellites will be released in an approximately 250 x 280 kilometer orbit just over an hour in flight.
After lifting from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) near Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, USA Falcon 9 the rocket flies northeast across the Atlantic Ocean. The autonomous spaceport drone ship Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY) will wait approx. 600 miles down to catch the booster when its mission is complete.
Meanwhile in Port Canaveral. Mrs. Tree practiced getting carvings from the water (using the dock) before she was photo-bombed by USNS Newport.
Just your average Thursday.
Edited clips (rewind below for the entire show).
– Chris B – NSF (@NASASpaceflight) February 11, 2021
OCISLY is towed by Hawk to this mission and is joined by the support ship GO Quest and the fairing retrieval ships GO Ms. Tree and GO Ms. Chief.
Before leaving Port Canaveral to support the launch, the crew of GO Ms. Tree set to conduct practice runs with the net used to collect fairings from the water.
This will be the second of four planned Starlink launches in February as SpaceX takes advantage of a break in missions for external customers to increase the implementation of their Internet constellation. Following the Starlink v1.0 L19, the often-delayed Starlink v1.0 L17 mission, originally scheduled for the end of January, but now targeted for the early morning hours of February 17th.
In the near future, SpaceX may continue the launch of Starlink flights as fast as they can renovate flight boosters, with the next known mission for an external customer being the Crew-2 launch for the International Space Station, which first targets 20. April.
SpaceX has started making deposits to reserve the Starlink service when it becomes available. The $ 99 deposits give priority to holders as the number of users served in a particular area is limited and the refundable deposits will be applied to the order price when the service is initiated. This is not limited to the United States. Potential customers can check starlink.com for details.
This launch will bring the number of operational satellites in the initial 53 degree inclination, 550 kilometers altitude orbital shell to about 1,050 of the eventual 1,584 total.
The first 36 aircraft are almost in place and some of the remaining 36 aircraft have begun to fill up. SpaceX has also launched 10 satellites in a 97.6 degree orbit to begin testing operations at the higher orbit conditions needed to serve customers at high latitudes.
In archiving, SpaceX mentioned being able to serve much of Australia in early 2021 with service to lower latitude islands near the north coast in early 2022 using ground stations on the Australian mainland and service to more distant and higher latitude islands near at the end of 2022, when more satellites with inter-satellite connections are sent into polar orbits.
Since the beginning of December 2020, SpaceX has changed the distance to the satellites already in orbit. It appears that the company is arranging many of the aircraft to have 18 active satellites instead of 20, which will fill some small gaps and free up some satellites to act as spare parts.
This can allow them to provide more consistent service as they continue to build the constellation.
The following video shows the positions of the individual satellites within their orbital planes in the last three months.
As they appear to be moving beyond the original shell of the constellation, SpaceX needs a resolution on the change they submitted to the FCC in April 2020.
SpaceX requested to lower the rest of the 4,400 satellites in orbit below 600 km from their approved altitudes above 1,100 km, lower the minimum height above the horizon that user terminals are allowed to communicate with the satellites, and adjust the transmission power lower to match change in height.
In early February 2021, SpaceX, through the Norwegian government, also submitted the desired changes to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
Changing the altitude angle for communication with most satellites to 25 degrees would make each satellite’s ground area equal to what they would have been at higher altitudes with a 40 degree altitude.
This change has received opposition from other satellite providers, as the desired elevation angles may affect interference between systems as well as different systems that may need to split the available bandwidth.
Other objections focusing on the increasing congestion in certain runways and the possibility of generating waste from collisions have also been raised.
Many competitors argue that the changes in the constellation are large enough to be considered as a new filing and moved to a later FCC processing round, which will give Starlink lower priority when the need arises to coordinate between systems.
At the moment, Starlink is on par with OneWeb and Telesat when operating in the United States; however, the latter two have earlier filing dates with the ITU. If it changes to the date of the most recent change, Starlink would be in the same round as Amazon’s Kuiper in the United States.
However, the government permits and the heights for rollout are working, it will be a busy year for Starlink as they continue to quickly roll out their satellites and launch service in many countries.

National Transportation Safety Board chief Deborah Hersman said Thursday that analysis of cockpit voice recorders showed no talk of speed during the approach until it was 30 meters from the ground. Nine seconds before impact, a call was made to increase speed. Two members of the cockpit crew then made separate requests to abort the landing, three and 1.5 seconds before the crash, Hersman said.
The NTSB previously revealed the plane’s speed had dipped to 103 knots three seconds before the crash — sharply below the target speed of 137 knots. | aerospace |

Tracking the ISS (International Space Station) is a fun activity that many backyard sky gazers will enjoy when the night sky is clear of clouds and the trajectory of the space station in your part of the world is just right.
The ISS, which is a multi-national, modular space station that was planned and built over the course of several years during the 1990s and 2000s, orbits around Earth about 15 times per day.
The orbiting ISS can be easily seen from ground as a bright, white dot slowly but steadily moving across the sky. In fact, the ISS is the biggest and brightest man-made object we can see in the night sky.
Tracking the ISS on the internet can help you to determine when is the best time to go outside, look up, and try to spot the space station as it passes around 225 miles above our heads.
How To Track The ISS
There are several websites you can check out to get the precise current location of the ISS as well as its future path:
• NASA’s ISS tracking page has automatically refreshing data on the space station’s current location.
• ISS Tracker targets the real-time location, velocity, and altitude of the space station.
• Satellite Fly-Bys by Space Weather tracks not just the ISS but also the Hubble Telescope and other orbiting bodies.
• Astro Viewer utilizes Google Earth View to show you what the astronauts would see if looking straight down from the ISS.
All of these sites will give you different perspectives on the International Space Station as well as provide data in different ways, so each is worth pursuing to help you gain a better insight on where the ISS is currently located and to understand more about crew on board.
In addition to the many websites that are available for you to check out, don’t forget to watch your local weather reports, since many TV weather forecasters will announce the time frame(s) during which you can see the ISS fly by in your neck of the woods.
Plus, your local newspaper can still be a great resource for checking out the latest on projected ISS fly-bys as well as news about the crew who will be flying over your head.
There are even apps you can buy for your cell phone that will help you to track the ISS as it cruises overhead, and will even tell you when and where a sighting of the ISS near you will be possible.
Whether you choose to look-up the current or future location of the International Space Station on the internet, learn more about the ISS fly-bys in the newspaper or on TV, or you simply step outside one night and decide to spend the evening looking up hoping you will get lucky with a sighting, watching for and tracking the ISS is just one of the many ways to enjoy your downtime.
Just don’t forget to wave as the ISS tracks overhead – those astronauts may just be looking down upon you as they glide overhead in outer space.

Jointly hosted by the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA), the event is held each year at Geneva’s Palexpo conference centre and at Geneva International Airport. The 2014 show took place from May 20 to 22.2014 was the biggest year yet for EBACE, with more than 13,000 attendees and 2,200 exhibitor booths filling the largest exhibition footprint in the event’s 14-year history.
Appleby were among the exhibitors for a fourth consecutive year represented by Director of Operations Brian Johnson and Corporate and Commercial lawyer Danny Cole, along with representatives from the group’s Guernsey and Isle of Man offices. The Appleby Team were also joined at EBACE by members of the States of Jersey, including Chris Kelleher, Strategic Policy Manager for the Economic Development Department who will shortly be participating in the legislative debate to establish the upcoming new Jersey Aircraft Registry (www.jar.je).
The concept of a new Jersey Aircraft Registry which is aiming for a launch in the third quarter of 2014 (assuming the legislation is passed as expected) received positive press coverage and feedback from attendees at EBACE.Joining Appleby at EBACE were members of the States of Jersey, including Chris Kelleher, Strategic Policy Manager for the Economic Development DepartmentChris Kelleher commented ‘EBACE is a key event. It provides an invaluable opportunity to meet representatives from all aspects of the aviation industry, including major corporate aircraft manufacturers, international business leaders and government officials.
Wendy Benjamin, Partner and Group Head – Corporate & Commercial, Jersey said: “As the only offshore legal group with a presence in all three Crown Dependencies, as well as the aircraft registry locations of Bermuda and the Cayman Islands, Appleby is perfectly positioned to assist clients with all aspects of their offshore aviation needs drawing on the wealth of experience and diverse skills of our legal and fiduciary teams around the world.”
The strength of the business aviation sector was again highlighted at the event this year, with wealth creation, increasing business jet penetration in high growth economies and the globalisation of trade identified as key market drivers for this growth. This market confidence was echoed by leading business jet manufacturer and EBACE exhibitor Bombardier who predicts 24,000 business jet deliveries valued at US$650 billion over the next 20 years in its latest Market Forecast report. EBACE also provided a prominent platform for manufacturers and operators to announce their latest news, ensuring a strong media presence and coverage.
Key announcements this year included the launch of the:·
Falcon 8X by French aircraft manufacturer Dassault, with more range and cabin space than any other Falcon, G650ER by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation which can fly 500 nautical miles further than the G650, Avanti Evolution twin turboprop by Piaggio Aero a multinational aerospace manufacturing company headquartered in Italy.
In addition the Honda Aircraft Company revealed the first production HondaJet which will feature on next year’s static display whilst Bombardier, the world’s only manufacturer of both planes and trains, displayed a 111ft mock-up of its Global 7000 inside the exhibition centre. | aerospace |

Especially during COVID-19 when a contagious virus has literally taken over the planet. Have you ever felt that your safety is at risk during commercial flights? Well, there are reasons to assume it has. Close contact with a crowd of different people is going to leave you more prone to contracting the disease. Surprisingly though, cars are killing more people than planes have ever done.
Are private jets safe?
Private jets present few advantages that they can leverage smartly during any relatively improbable unsafe situation. Firstly, they can steer landings onto any airports nearby. In case of emergencies on board, their size allows them to land on smaller airports where commercial airliners can hardly fit. The United States Helicopter Safety Team attests to the fact that helicopter rides have become two times safer in the 21st century.
Operators engaging with Icarus Jet are audited regularly by Wyvern. Their Wingman Standard is approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for operation of aircraft and safety management. These benchmarks guarantee quality protection for our passengers. Additionally, operators are also audited by ARGUS. They evaluate due diligence and safety management of aircraft operators to grant them a rating. Their auditors also conduct IS-BAO audits to maintain the international standards of corporate plane operations. | aerospace |

The successful culmination of the programme to test-prove India’s anti-satellite weapon capability — Mission Shakti — was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday. He informed the nation of a “live” low earth orbit (LEO) satellite being blown in space with a direct hit. It vaults the country into an exclusive club of now four countries boasting of such wherewithal.
This is the second but still infant step taken by India in the realm of space warfare. The first step, though still incomplete — in a plan that will eventually obtain for India a constellation of 13-15 LEO and high earth orbit (HEO) satellites, to cover the Indian landmass and the extended region bounded by the Indian Ocean, the Caspian Sea, the Central Asian Republics, Southeast Asia and China — is to provide India with its very own Global Positioning System (GPS). This will be a major capability upgrade for the country in the space warfare realm.
An Indian GPS will preclude India’s dependence on the American GPS or Russian GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) which has cost the country plenty in the past and can prove disastrous in a future war. It may be recalled that the second test of the Agni missile in the early 1990s failed. What is not widely known is that it did so, in the main, because the US GPS it was relying on “blinked” at a crucial moment just when the missile was pulling a critical manoeuvre. It provided a lesson the Indian government seems unwilling to learn that to rely on the US or any other big power for critical technical assistance is to be foolhardy.
In any case, it spurred the Indian government to do the right thing: launch a bunch of satellites to secure the country its own GPS — pivotal for minute or major course correction in order to guide missiles accurately to distant targets.
The anti-satellite weapon is, in some ways, the flip side of GPS. If the latter denotes civilian-cum-military utility, an A-SAT weapon represents a purely offensive military capability. It can take out the adversary state’s GPS and disrupt its internal communications traffic and the working of its financial market and, otherwise, centrally hurt its economy — and all this by simply destroying the enemy’s satellites and their various sensors and voiding their role as telecommunications nodes.
Further, A-SAT strikes can nullify the usual space-based cyber attacks which, according to Chinese strategists, constitute the first stage of “comprehensive war”.
The LEO satellite that was successfully targeted is one of the earliest sent up and was nearing the end of its useful life. The LEO satellites India has launched have been built in technical collaboration with the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) specialising in the Ofeq (Hebrew for horizon) satellites, small-sized platforms with onboard sensors capable of high-resolution imagery. LEO satellites are particularly useful in “seeing” and mapping the enemy’s side of the battlefield – its major force dispositions, etc, and can be the principal source of tactical information in war or peacetime. The significance of the Indian A-SAT hitting an LEO satellite is precisely to signal China that the PLA forces can be blinded because Chinese LEO satellites can now be preemptively destroyed.
The Indian A-SAT is derived from the country’s anti-ballistic missile defence system featuring Prithvi missiles that are supposed to shoot down incoming missiles with two-shot probability — the first shot fired in the exo-atmospheric regime which if it fails triggers the second shot in the endo-atmospheric milieu. But, ballistic missile defence is workable as a concept but not in real life, because too many BMD batteries will be needed to bring down even a few enemy missiles. A-SAT, on the other hand, is a handy means of keeping a leash on the Chinese over-the-horizon military capabilities.
This brings the game around a whole circle because India’s A-SAT development was prioritised after China first demonstrated its capacity to destroy satellites and space-based platforms with a kinetic-kill vehicle in 2007.
This was first published in Firstpost.com March 27, 2019, at https://www.firstpost.com/india/with-a-sat-test-india-takes-leap-in-space-defence-mission-shakti-can-nullify-chinese-cyber-attacks-at-time-of-war-6338251.html
i dont think its any great achievement to shoot satellite just 300km above . Most of gps and military satellite operates at much higher alt >=20k kms. It would be better if we could have done mirv test, which is pending since long time.
Agree, that MIRV needs expeditious testing. But ASAT is good to have otherwise India’d be defeated in just the initial cyberwar phase of hostilities.
This comes right after modi’s nuclear drama with pakistan … Does this misguide nasr, shaheen missiles trajectory to nullify them…
No, ASAT shoots down satellites providing guidance for long range missiles.
Russia has leased akula 2 nuclear sub…are they willing to co develop brahmos 2? so many delays… you previously mentioned it is in post development stage..
The delay is due to indecision at the Indian end.
Sir, two questions.
1. Since ASAT is an emerging threat, where it is placed on escalation matrix, like we have for conventional and nuclear threats ? (Will it be viewed in terms of disabling civil infrastructure or depend on the type of satellite hit ?)
2. Since it’s a derivative of Exo BMD of India, do we have indigenous radars capable of tracking inclination changes of satellites in real time? I am guessing we would need powerful radars for higher LEO & MEO orbits ?
You have guessed right on the 2nd issue. And shooting down an LEO satellite is a tripwire, for what is not clear, but it would depend on the contingency.
Dr Karnad, should we not look into developing satellites for Very Low Earth Orbits (<200km), which would use active propulsion (ion thrust) to keep them aloft by countering atmospheric friction? Satellites in such Very Low Earth Orbits would have better ground imaging resolution, lower communication latency, and would be safe from orbital debris created by ASATs, since such debris would quickly fall out of orbit due to atmospheric friction.
Ion thruster is a great idea but, not sure ISRO has a project to develop one.

Visible light is only a tiny part of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by celestial objects. When, however, we started building telescopes that could “see” in other wavelengths as well, our knowledge of the Universe expanded tremendously.

> Which satellite prediction program do we see on the big screen
> on the NASA TV broadcasts from mission control in Houston?
There are several different views you may see, but the main thing that
we "see" is the background map. Several "free" programs now utilize the
map made from composite satellite images that looks natural and cloud-free.
A good example someone pointed out is the default image in Orbitron.
What sets the NASA maps apart is that they also usually show the coverage
area of the three primary TDRS relay satellites, and marks on the future
ground tracks to indicate orbital sunrise and sunsets. As the shuttle
(or ISS) moves about the orbit, those coverage circles help visualize the
"TDRSS handovers" where communications will drop out for a minute or a few.
You may also notice on the ISS map view, the range circles about the Russian
ground stations. During de-orbit and re-entry the background goes black and
you'll see blue range circles about the various US radar tracking sites.
During Joint-Ops with both Shuttle and ISS, they show Lat/Lon/Alt stats
in the upper corners of the display. Lots of things they can turn on/off.
The other display (my personal favorite) provides a multi-view in 3D space.
I've heard it refered to as 'Birds Eye View' or BEV. I've seen similar
applications running on SGI computers, with a 3 pane window... the top one
a side view parallel to the velocity vector, with gravity down. The lower
panes showing 1) a view from above sighting down along gravity, and 2) a
view from slightly above looking forward along the velocity vector. These
views are fed by live telemetry data that will include the vehicles
orientation respective to those vectors. I really like watching those
during orientation adjustments. If you can watch before docking, you can
see how the ISS is rotated around to place the docking port 'in back' so
that the Shuttle's TPS is better protcted from any orbital debris. If you
see this display before re-entry you can see how they turn tail-forward
in preparation for the de-orbit burn... I really enjoy watching this stuff.
Still tho, it is hard to beat the 3D view in InstantTrack, especially on
one of those Molniya orbits like AO-13, whippin around perigee - whoosh !

Even with a parachute dragging its speed, a spacecraft crashed into a ground, triggering an imposing cloud of sand and smoke.
On a other side of a world, a voice quietly called a method of events for NASA: “Touchdown. Touchdown confirmed.”
Soon after, helicopter and belligerent crews rushed to collect a 3 people — NASA astronauts Peggy Whitson and Jack Fischer and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin — from a defeated capsule. Last to be plucked from a Soyuz, according to a Associated Press, was Whitson, who was given a span of sunglasses and a fragrance of flowers with a note that read, “Welcome back, Peggy.”
It was a elementary summary to interpretation a goal to a International Space Station that cemented Whitson in a annals of space legends. Her lapse to Earth this weekend wrapped adult 288 days in space, a longest time in circuit in a singular spaceflight for a womanlike astronaut. The goal also done her a U.S. astronaut, masculine or female, with a many accumulative time in space, during 665 days.
Whitson has ordered a International Space Station twice, a usually womanlike wanderer to do so. In March, in a center of routine upkeep outward a ISS, Whitson set a record for a womanlike wanderer with a many accumulative spacewalking time, during 53 hours and 22 minutes. Though she had been scheduled to lapse to Earth in June, she extended her time in circuit by 3 additional months after a mark on a Soyuz non-stop up.
Whitson would go on to transcend a annals she had only set, eventually imprinting 10 apart spacewalks and logging 60 hours and 21 mins of accumulative spacewalking time. (Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyev binds a all-time spacewalking record, with 16 apart spacewalks and some-more than 82 hours of accumulative spacewalking time.)
Among her litany of accomplishments, NASA notes, almost as an afterthought: Whitson pennyless all these records at age 57, and also set a record for a world’s oldest spacewoman.

One of a initial phone calls Whitson perceived behind on Earth was from President Trump, who called both NASA astronauts as they were drifting home to Houston.
“I wish to honour Peggy and Jack for their implausible accomplishments. They make us all really proud,” Trump said, in a White House statement. “Exploration has always been during a core of who we are as Americans, and their dauntless contributions to tellurian space moody have continued that good tradition.”
It wasn’t a initial time a dual spoke by phone. In April, Trump called a International Space Station to honour Whitson for violation a record for accumulative time spent in space by any U.S. astronaut.
“Peggy is an impulse to us all, generally to immature women meddlesome in or now posterior careers in science, technology, engineering and math,” Trump said.
Robert Lightfoot, NASA’s behaving administrator, pronounced he appreciated a president’s phone call to Whitson and Fischer.
“The boss has had a event to hear from Peggy and Jack firsthand how a work aboard a International Space Station is directly pulling a bounds of tellurian knowledge, and advancing American care in a eternal limit of space,” Lightfoot said. “I wish to supplement my interjection to a teams on a belligerent opposite a globe, generally in Houston, who are traffic with a issue of a Harvey, nonetheless still confirmed a concentration to get Peggy and Jack home safely. It is an extraordinary team.”
A NASA deputy pronounced Whitson was not nonetheless accessible for interviews Tuesday.

She has done a vast impact on a space module in systematic investigate — and other, reduction high-profile areas, according to a Associated Press:
[Whitson] set a breakneck gait on all 3 of her space hire expeditions, ceaselessly seeking for some-more — and still some-more — systematic investigate to do. Scientists on a belligerent pronounced it mostly was tough to keep adult with her. She even experimented on food adult there, perplexing to supplement some pizazz to a customary freeze-dried meals. Tortillas remade into apple pies on her watch.

“It is one of those rides that we wish never ends,” Whitson tweeted in April, shortly after she motionless to extend her time in space by 3 months. “I am so beholden for all those who helped me on any of my missions! #LifeInSpace”

London’s Heathrow airport closed to flights following a fire involving a Boeing Co. (BA) 787 jet operated by Ethiopian Airlines Enterprise, while a second Dreamliner was forced to abandon a trip with technical issues. Shares of the U.S. planemaker had their biggest drop in almost two years.
The aircraft, Boeing’s newest model and beset by battery-related fire incidents that grounded the global fleet earlier this year, was sprayed with fire-retardant foam after the Heathrow event. No one was on board and there were no injuries.
Takeoffs and landings were suspended at Europe’s busiest hub for about an hour while emergency services attended the jet, before flights resumed later with significant delays. The cause of the fire is unknown, Heathrow Ltd. (FER) said on its Twitter feed, with television pictures appearing to show damage on the rear upper fuselage close to the aircraft’s tail.
“We’re aware of the 787 event at Heathrow airport and have Boeing personnel there,” the Chicago-based company said via Twitter, adding that it had sent people to the scene. “We’re working to fully understand and address this.”
Ethiopian Air said the aircraft had been parked at Heathrow for more than eight hours before smoke was detected. “The cause of the incident is under investigation by all concerned,” Henok Teferra, a spokesman for the carrier, said in a text message.

NASA is at the moment in sleuthing manner to find the resource.
Though an air leak in place seems worrisome, NASA just isn’t fretting it. “The leak is still in just section specs and presents no rapid danger to the crew or the house station,” NASA explained in a assertion on Thursday.
A tiny bit of air leakage is typical, and this unique leak has been on the radar for a although. “In September 2019, NASA and its worldwide associates initial observed indications of a slight enhance earlier mentioned the regular cabin air leak level,” the company explained. A even more improve in that amount has induced new measures to hunt down the resource so it can perhaps be fixed.
The current crew consists of NASA’s Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Ivan Vagner and Anatoly Ivanishin of Roscosmos. All a few will commit Friday by means of Monday morning hanging out alongside one another in the Zvezda services module, a Russian phase of the ISS.
Bunking in Zvezda presents the crew a opportunity to near down the station hatches so NASA can observe the air stress in each area. “The exam presents no security worry for the crew,” NASA explained, and it should help mission controllers figure out wherever the compact leak is coming from.
Preliminary outcomes are anticipated up coming week. | aerospace |

The continuous force generated by photons striking the windmill-like sail is sufficient to boost the craft out of Earths gravity well and, eventually, out of the solar system.
Solar sailing is a revolutionary idea whose time has come. As the limits of chemical propulsion are reached, solar sailing is increasingly becoming an option for extending mankinds reach into space.
The promise of solar sailing in space is in the continuous propulsion derived from natural solar pressure. Although the pressure from the Sun is less than the pressure felt from a piece of paper on an open hand, its persistent push imparts an accumulated thrust greater than rocket propulsion can provide.
Solar sailing makes possible exotic missions once thought impractical due to their large propellant requirements. Such missions include dwelling at LaGrange points where the gravity from two celestial bodies cancel each other, hovering over an Earth pole for persistent scientific monitoring, cruising to asteroids, and flying to nearby stars.
Solar sail concepts have existed for decades, but their implementation has been elusive. To date, no true solar sail craft has flown in space. The primary dilemma is the need for tremendous sail surface area relative to spacecraft mass. Early solar sail spacecraft designs had payloads weighing thousands of kilograms and sails spanning kilometers. The costs associated with manufacturing very large sails, the risks of deployment, and the complexity of controlling large, flexible structures in space have been prohibitive.
The Solar Blade team is overcoming the traditional obstacles to solar sail flight by employing state-of-the-art technology to dramatically reduce spacecraft payload mass, which shrinks the size of the sail and overall spacecraft mass. This reduction of size and weight, coupled with the relatively straightforward deployment scheme of unrolling the sail material, makes the Solar Blade heliogyro design eminently more practical and flyable than previous solar sail spacecraft. | aerospace |

Dr. Porco believes that the icy moon, with its underground liquid sea of water, organics, as well as an energy source, may potentially host life similar to that found in analogous environments on Earth. The March 2012 images of Cassini's "tiger stripes" revealed that these cracks widen and narrow, as was suspected from pictures taken previously. The fissures also change over time more frequently than was originally thought. The two opposite sides of the fissures move laterally relative to one another. This is analogous to the way two banks of the San Andreas Fault can move forward and back, as well as in opposite directions. The greatest slipping and sliding happens when Enceladus is closest to Saturn--as scientists expected.
Comets are really traveling relic icy planetesimals, the remnants of what was once a vast population of ancient objects that contributed to the construction of the quartet of giant, gaseous planets of the outer Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Alternatively, the asteroids--that primarily inhabit the region between Mars and Jupiter termed the Main Asteroid Belt--are the leftover rocky and metallic planetesimals that bumped into one another and then merged together to form the four rocky and metallic inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Planetesimals of both the rocky and icy kind blasted into one another in the cosmic "shooting gallery" that was our young Solar System. These colliding objects also merged together to create ever larger and larger bodies--from pebble size, to boulder size, to mountain size--and, finally, to planet size.
"This is good news for Ganymede. Its ocean is huge, with enormous pressures, so it was thought that dense ice had to form at the bottom of the ocean. When we added salts to our models, we came up with liquids dense enough to sink to the sea floor," Dr. Vance said in his May 1, 2014 statement.

|Welcome to Airport Career
Without air transportation, today's world would be very different from the one we're living in. People all over the world depend on air travel for business, leisure, and visits to family and friends. Businesses rely on air transportation to move materials, to bring branch managers to headquarters for meetings, to connect with clients and customers, and even in the age of the Internet, to move important documents quickly from one place to another. Government uses air transport in all these ways and more--to fly officials all over the world, to bring members of congress back and forth to their home states.
All kinds of people work in airports, but many of them, like secretaries and janitors, fill jobs that are generic; that is, they're jobs that exist in just about every industry, from the smallest medical practice to the largest corporation. The people we call "airport workers," though, have jobs that are only found in airports or require special airport-related skills. Airport operations managers, for example, need many of the same skills that people who oversee other kinds of operations need, but they also need a whole additional set of skills to deal with the very special requirements of air transportation.
While some airport workers--particularly those in management--work directly for the airport itself, most people who work in airports actually work for an airline. Some airport workers work for shipping companies like Federal Express, that are housed at airports but have their own fleet of planes. Others work for what are called "Fixed Base Operators" (FBOs), private companies that offer services like flight training, aircraft rentals, air taxi service as well as maintenance and repair services.
Airports also range in size from small operations, with only a few workers and only one airline serving them, to huge international airports, like Dulles International Airport in northern Virginia, with thousands of workers and many airlines. What airport worker's does often depends on the size of the airport. In small airports, a single worker frequently does a whole variety of jobs--issuing tickets, checking passengers in, even helping to move baggage onto a plane--whereas in large airports, each of these tasks is a separate job. In either case, these jobs involve working in shifts, since even small airports operate for long hours, and the larger ones are up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
But above all, airport workers are the nation's first-line of defense against air transportation-connected attack, whether by foreign terrorists, domestic ones, or just plain criminals. Security personnel, the people who check passengers in, and those who screen baggage are the most directly involved in protection. But all airport personnel, even those like restaurant servers, must be constantly on the alert for unusual behavior, stray packages, and anything else that might pose a threat. To this end, workers themselves must undergo a thorough background checs before beginning work and must wear ID badges at all times.
The job outlook for airport workers is variable. The events of September 11, 2001, together with some temporary airport closures and a downturn in the economy, drastically reduced air travel, and with it the demand for airport workers. Recently, however, the volume of travel has begun to increase to more normal levels, and there are more opportunities for airport workers. Disasters aside, when the economy slows, airlines often suffer and lay off workers. When it improves, so do the prospects for airport workers.
Despite this uncertain future and other drawbacks, such as shift, weekend, and evening work, airport jobs offer some attractive benefits. Airlines employees qualify for discounted or even free air travel on their employer's airline. Most positions at airports offer benefits--like health insurance and retirement plans. People who love to travel and want a full-time job with benefits should consider working at an airport.

The Universal Pilot Application Service is an employment assistance service that provides pilots with the opportunity to gain exposure to companies that are now hiring. UPAS additionally provides companies with the ability to be selective when searching for pilots with particular flight experience and qualifications. UPAS now has over twenty thousand pilots in their database. Flight experience levels vary from single engine flight instructors to Boeing 747/400 Captains.
The airport is one of the most vital elements in our air transportation system. A well equipped airport provides a variety of facilities for the aircraft and for crews and passengers. These include runways and taxiways, which may be lighted for day and night use; a terminal building with lounge areas for passengers, and possibly a restaurant and shops; automobile parking lots; ramp areas and hangars for aircraft storage; and maintenance shops for aircraft and avionics.
The most significant role of a flight attendant is to ensure passenger safety. In doing so, flight attendants make several announcements before, during and after flight. The first announcement takes place before the aircraft leaves the gate, is an Aircraft Safety Demonstration specific for each type of aircraft and includes a demonstration alerting passengers of safety. Here are two Safety Demonstrations you can review and practice.

Posted on 09/06/2017 6:56:18 PM PDT by BenLurkin
Radar images obtained between August 29 and September 1, when Florence came closest to Earth, reveal that the asteroid is about 2.8 miles (4.5 kilometers) in size, the US space agency said.
It said the two moons were probably between 300-1,000 feet (100-300 meters) across.
The inner moon takes approximately eight hours to revolve around Florence while the outer moon takes between 22 and 27 hours, NASA said.
NASA said the radar images of Florence, which was discovered in 1981, were obtained by the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in California.

Isn’t one of the definitions of a planet is having a moon?
But Planet Claire has pink hair.
Good Grief. Me too.
That can’t be good.
Mercury and Venus have no moons. A planet by definition is round[ish], orbits the sun, and dominates its orbit.
No, no, CS101, that’s Asteroid Heather who has two moms.

MARS is a science fiction television series produced by National Geographic Channel, which premiered in November 2016. The show is inspired by the Mars exploration mission being conducted by NASA and other space organizations. It is a hybrid of documentary and scripted drama, featuring both actual interviews with experts on space and science, as well as fictional narrative elements.
Set in the year 2033, the show follows a group of astronauts and scientists who are on a mission to establish a human settlement on Mars. The cast includes Jihae as Hana Seung, a Korean-American mission pilot; Alberto Ammann as Javier Delgado, a Spanish doctor and astronaut; and Cl as Mei Chen, a Chinese geochemist and astronaut.
MARS explores the challenges and difficulties that the first humans on Mars would face, including the harsh environment, limited resources, and technological limitations. The show also highlights the psychological and emotional toll that such a mission would have on the crew, as they are isolated from their families and friends on Earth and face constant danger.
The show features a unique blend of documentary-style interviews with real-world experts in space exploration, as well as fictional narrative elements that depict the crew's journey to the Red Planet. The footage of Mars is stunning and breathtaking, capturing the beauty and desolation of the planet, and the production values are impressive.
MARS is not just a science fiction story, but also a commentary on the importance of space exploration and the potential benefits it can bring to humanity. The show touches on topics such as climate change, resource depletion, and geopolitical tensions, all of which are connected to the need for humans to explore and colonize other planets.
One of the key themes in the show is the importance of international cooperation in space exploration. The crew of the Mars mission comes from different countries and nationalities, and they must work together to overcome the challenges they face. This aspect of the show reflects the reality of international space programs such as the International Space Station, which brings together astronauts from different countries and backgrounds to work towards a common goal.
Overall, MARS is a compelling and thought-provoking series that combines science fiction with real-world science and exploration. It raises important questions about the future of humanity and our place in the universe, and it does so in a visually stunning and engaging way.

This decision to ground the plane is a joint effort made by both parties involved in the star liners launch
The Starliner is under investigation following a failed attempt to rendezvous at the ISS. Then mission is a serious endeavor as it is the first among many of the star liners space rendezvous to the ISS.
Should the mission have gone according to plan, NASA and Boeing would receive a green light to head into the full direction of the next phase of their space exploration operation. The last star liners last launch got interrupted by a minor software glitch. The glitch happened argh what was one of the missions’ first orbital flight tests that occurred last year. However, this year has seen a keen interest in the case after experts speculate a fault in the proceeding launches would be fatal
The starliner’s flight control team is credited to have pulled the giant star cruiser back from being lost. Despite being a failed launch, the debris from the Starliner is essential both in value and as a record for faults
Chief NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine gave his assurance to media personalities that the investigation is soon to come to its conclusion. Given the high stakes on this venture, NASA officials decided to award the inquiry to a joint investigations team from Boeing and NASA
The space agency in a bid to increase security plans to have separate safety rebirth unit tasked with conducting interviews with officials at the launching sites. According to NASA associate administrator Douglas Loverro, it’s most notable for having the investigation tasked to find out the cause of the failure from the minds the of experts involved in the launch
The investigating team finds out several reasons leading to the crash with the star liners launching system, including faulty software that unscrewed the capsule’s thrusters at the wrong time, communication failure with the capsule at the time the accident occurred and a considerable number of massive fuel thrusts at the wrong time. This event caused the capsule to reach the orbit with less fuel than planned, limiting its flight range.
Reports from both Boeing and NASA indicate measures to have the causes rectified in future missions. However, in the previous months, SpaceX had its very first in-flight abort mission that went through and successfully linked with the ISS. Things seem to be looking up for SpaceX as the launch was the last milestone before they conduct their first crewed mission to the ISS.
The fate of the Starliner now rests in both space agencies ‘ hands as they are yet to decide whether or not the capsule will be scheduled for a relaunch soon. Following the decision to be made, NASA has relayed its plans to have their future space launches independent and is seeking to remove dependence on commercial space transportation providers. Should this plan go through, NASA will be at the forefront leading in space transportation | aerospace |

The key result of Professor Tikhonov’s work was the world’s first discovery of the stabilising influence of the Lorentz Forces on rotational dynamics of a spacecraft relative to its centre of mass that had been made on the basis of nonlinear mathematical model. The study found possibilities for realising predefined modes of controlled rotation of a spacecraft and its three-axis stabilisation.
The method of stabilising a spacecraft was published by Alexey Tikhonov in 2003 in the science journal ‘Cosmic Research’. Later the method was significantly developed and its technical decision was patented. It was proved that electrodynamic effects caused by the interaction of the geomagnetic field with moving relative to a satellite, a spacecraft or a station due to the Lorentz and magnetic forces, could serve as a basis for synthesis of control systems and stabilisation of its angular position. As a result, the scientists of St Petersburg University presented a new electrodynamic method of stabilisation of the angular position of space crafts. It is now widely known among the leading foreign research centres of the USA (NASA and AIAA), China, India, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and others.
I consider this award to be an identification of the priority role of Russia in one of the fields of space science. It is very satisfying that our research has received recognition and appreciation of the most distinguished expert community.
Alexey Tikhonov, Professor at St Petersburg University
‘Our research was carried out at St Petersburg University. We discovered rather simple and practical conditions of control of space crafts, that guarantee asymptotic stability of the programmed movement of a space craft relative to its centre of mass,’ Alexey Tikhonov said. ‘Synthesised electrodynamic control allows to enhance efficiency of stabilisation of a space craft in the conditions of resources saving on board and refusal to use reactive control systems. The achieved results are applicable for angular stabilisation of orbital objects of various purposes in the conditional of near-Earth space flight.’
Three years ago, electrodynamic control was used for resolving a very well-known and widely discussed issue of disequilibrium of electrodynamic tether system (EDTS). The research of Alexey Tikhonov helped to extend the scope of electrodynamic tether system for solving an actual problem of removing non-functioning space crafts from the Earth orbit. The professor also suggested a new approach to the synthesis of active controlling momentum and a design of a relevant damping device for stabilising electrodynamic tether system in orientation along the local vertical. These results are protected by two patents in Russia (2018, 2019) and one Eurasian patent (2020).
Professor Tikhonov has been working on electrodynamic control of rotation of orbital objects for 20 years. The results of his research enabled the achievement of a number of new and original results. They were published in more than 50 papers in reviewed science journals of the Russian Academy of Sciences, prestigious foreign journals, and six Russian patents for inventions. Also, a candidate’s dissertation was defended on this topic under Professor Tikhonov’s supervision.
The presented series of research papers is an interconnected set of studies united by the common topic, actual at the current stage of the development of space dynamics. All the studies are carried out at a high scientific level and are of theoretical and practical importance. They provide priority for Russia in the field of electrodynamic control of rotation of space apparatuses relative to its centre of mass.
Excerpt from the Resolution of the Presidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences
The Tsander Prize is awarded for outstanding theoretical works in the sphere of space rocket science. Earlier it was awarded to an associate professor at St Petersburg University Elena Polyakhova (2005) for her monograph ‘Flights of a spacecraft with a solar sail’. | aerospace |

By the way...we're right around the corner from TC Sessions: Robotics, a full-day digital gathering of some of the world's leading founders, technologists, engineers, researchers and investors in robotics and AI! Register and learn more here.
OK, on to the news.
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is one of the most exciting astronomical missions in years. With JWST, scientists are hoping to learn more about the universe, from star formation to black holes to exoplanets.
This week, NASA released the first five images from the optical instrument and they did not disappoint. The first image, revealed by President Joe Biden, is a sublime photo of the cluster SMACS 0723. As NASA Administrator Bill Nelson put it, “If you held a grain of sand on the tip of your finger at arm’s length, that is the part of the universe that you’re seeing, just one little speck of the universe."
Check out this story on what the other four images tell us about the universe and this deep dive from Devin Coldewey into just how a spacecraft a million miles away manages to send dozens of gigabytes of data back to Earth.

I caught up with Lunar Outpost CEO Justin Cyrus a few months after the company closed a $12 million seed round, led by Explorer 1 Fund with participation from Promus Ventures, Space Capital, Type 1 Ventures and Cathexis Ventures.
Lunar Outpost is developing rovers and other technologies for terrestrial and space applications, and it already has a handful of space missions lined up for 2023 and beyond. For the first mission, Lunar Outpost will send a 10-kilogram rover, called the Mobile Autonomous Prospecting Platform (MAPP), to the moon’s south pole on a mission in partnership with Nokia and Intuitive Machines in early 2023. The company is also sending a rover to explore the mysterious Reiner Gamma feature on the moon in a fully funded mission for NASA, also in partnership with Intuitive Machines. To top it off, it’s part of a team that includes Northrop Grumman, Michelin, AVL and Intuitive Machines that’s bidding on a contract to build a crewed lunar terrain vehicle for NASA.
“We saw our competitors starting to try to catch up and we felt like this funding can not only be utilized to further differentiate ourselves, and dig a little bit of a moat, if you will, but also accelerate our commercialization timeline for cislunar space,” Cyrus said.

(BA) to the punch when it comes to flying astronauts to the International Space Station. Now the pair will be among those who usher in a new era for NASA.
SpaceX and Boeing are shooting for a test flight of their capsules by the end of this year or early next, with the first crews flying from Cape Canaveral by next spring or summer.
Boe is a former shuttle pilot; Mann will be making her first trip into space.
His father, Ian Ferguson, a computer salesman who died of cancer in 1981, prominently displayed in their house a framed autograph of Alan Shepard, the first American in space.
The first Starliner post-certification mission, yet to be formally scheduled, will fly NASA astronauts Josh Cassada and Sunita Williams. The space agency's current arrangement with Russian Federation for Soyuz seats is set to run out in January 2020, a date that has already been stretched by extending upcoming ISS expeditions beyond six months.
Here's what we know about the first-ever astronauts to take part in a new space race. It will be Glover's first mission. They will mark the first astronaut launches from USA soil since the 2011 retirement of the Space Shuttle fleet. "We're returning to a full-capability ascent abort system to keep astronauts safe all the way through the profile, and that's something that the shuttle didn't have". NASA worked closely with the companies to engineer both spacecraft. "I'll tell you, being able to launch to the International Space Station from US soil, I can't imagine better", Cassada said. Vice President Mike Pence, who leads the National Space Council that has helped shape the Trump administration's space policies, also weighed in.
NASA has unveiled the first astronaut crews to fly on private spaceships built by SpaceX and Boeing. While in the Air Force, he flew in 55 combat missions over Iraq. He flew on a Space Shuttle Endeavour mission in 2008 and a Space Shuttle Discovery mission in 2011.

The two competitors had their match delayed by rain with Kuznetsova having won the opening set and the second set tied 2-2.
Doug Hurley: Hurley came to NASA from the Marine Corps in 2000.
"This is the stuff of dreams ... this is a test pilot's dream", he said. Ferguson is the only non-NASA astronaut. When Atlantis returned to Earth on July 21, 2011, Ferguson was the last person to step off the shuttle. NASA picked Crew Dragon and Starliner to replace the space shuttle for ISS transportation back in 2014.
Robert Behnken is from St. Ann, Missouri. He is an Air Force colonel with a doctorate in engineering. He's performed six spacewalks totaling almost 40 hours. Those were Behnken, Boe, Hurley and Williams. He served more than 24 years in the US Marine Corps as a fighter pilot and a test pilot.
Victor Glover: Glover was selected as an astronaut in 2013 after a career in the Navy as a test pilot.
Glover and Cassada are spaceflight rookies.
Suni Williams: Williams grew up in Needham, Massachusetts.
For Crew Dragon, the now confirmed crew includes Navy commander, aviator, and test pilot Victor Glover. | aerospace |

This Convention came into force in 1947. At that time, civil aircraft were based largely on military designs from World War II and were not particularly reliable. Long-range airliners needed four engines because they would often land on three, such was the poor reliability of those large piston engines. There were few airliners that could directly cross the Atlantic westwards and even New York to London required a stop at Shannon or Prestwick. To fly to Australia would take a week. How different the world is now; London to Singapore is a nonstop flight.
One of the things that ICAO established was that air accident investigation should be the responsibility of the state of registry and the air accident investigators had to be independent of the safety regulators. Now, in 1947 most civil aircraft were operated by countries that had an aircraft industry; US, Canada, UK, France, NL as examples. Establishing competent organisations was therefore easy because there was a big talent pool of experienced engineers. Hence we have NTSB in the USA, AAIB in the UK and BEA in France, to name but three. Their role is to investigate air accidents, to find the causes and to recommend actions so that those accidents never happen again. Their success is that modern airliners are now safer than buses or trains and a hellova lot safer than cars.
The disappearance of Malaysian Flight MH370 has, however, highlighted the limitations of this 70-year old idea. The poor old Malaysians are trying to carry out their international obligations but have neither the resources nor the experience to do it. They have done their best but this mystery would fox Sherlock Holmes, and they are completely out of their depth. At today’s press conference, the Malaysian minister of transport asked for more international cooperation and, of course, he will get it. He’s already got it, actually. They already have NTSB there as the aircraft was built in the USA and that is correct procedure. They also have AAIB there as the engines are British. BEA are there because they have experience of a somewhat similar disappearance in AF447. But the accident has involved 26 countries and that could never have been foreseen 70 years ago.
I wrote a novel in 2011, http://getBook.at/FlightIntoDarkness, which set out a similar accident. That is, the world’s safest aircraft disappears. Why? This idea was triggered by a realisation that modern airliners are so reliable and safe that a catastrophic failure just doesn’t happen. If there is a crash then it’s usually caused by a number of unusual problems occurring at the same time coupled with some bad luck, bad judgement or criminal activity. The Kegworth 737, for example or AF447. Or 9/11.
In the global village, I wonder whether we need a new international air accident investigator that is partly engineering-based, partly police. Aviation is now completely international; parts of all Boeings are made all over the world, Airbuses are made all over Europe and in China. The industry is essentially borderless, just like airspace. Therefore shouldn’t air accident investigation be borderless as well? I envisage a combination of AAIB/NTSB and Interpol, an organisation that is part of the UN. With so many small countries having great airlines (such as UAE, Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain, Singapore) this organisation would be ready placed to investigate anything anywhere and not require smaller states of registry to set up an organisation that would not be able to carry out its obligations.
We already have the people. Really. When I was working for the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), I was often irritated by AAIB investigators looking into ‘occurrences’ (not even accidents) that were, frankly, trivial. I thought they were wasting their (and my) time. The reason why they are doing this is that they are established as part of UK’s international obligations under ICAO but aviation is now so safe that there is little for them to do. I believe that he NTSB has a similar problem but the good guys need to be there when they’re needed. Until then, they drink coffee. Let them be employed by an international AAIB/NTSB.
I actually postulated this in http://getBook.at/FlightIntoDarkness.
I wonder if it will ever happen. It needs to. Aircraft accidents get weirder and weirder. | aerospace |

The optical navigation team at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, served as a backup navigation resource for the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security – Regolith Explorer) mission to near-Earth asteroid Bennu. They double-checked the primary navigation team’s work and proved the viability of navigation by visual cues.
Optical navigation uses observations from cameras, lidar, or other sensors to navigate the way humans do. This cutting edge technology works by taking pictures of a target, such as Bennu, and identifying landmarks on the surface. GIANT software – that’s short for the Goddard Image Analysis and Navigation Tool – analyzes those images to provide information, such as precise distance to the target, and to develop three-dimensional maps of potential landing zones and hazards. It can also analyze a spinning object to help calculate the target’s mass and determine its center – critical details to know for a mission trying to enter an orbit.
“Onboard autonomous optical navigation is an enabling technology for current and future mission ideas and proposals,” said Andrew Liounis, lead developer for GIANT at Goddard. “It reduces the amount of data that needs to be downlinked to Earth, reducing the cost of communications for smaller missions, and allowing for more science data to be downlinked for larger missions. It also reduces the number of people required to perform orbit determination and navigation on the ground.”
During OSIRIS-REx’s orbit of Bennu, GIANT identified particles flung from the asteroid’s surface. The optical navigation team used images to calculate the particles’ movement and mass, ultimately helping determine they did not pose a significant threat to the spacecraft.
Since then, lead developer Andrew Liounis said they have refined and expanded GIANT’s backbone collection of software utilities and scripts.
New GIANT developments include an open-source version of their software released to the public, and celestial navigation for deep space travel by observing stars, the Sun, and solar system objects. They are now working on a slimmed-down package to aid in autonomous operations throughout a mission’s life cycle.
“We’re also looking to use GIANT to process some Cassini data with partners at the University of Maryland in order to study Saturn’s interactions with its moons,” Liounis said.
Other innovators like Goddard engineer Alvin Yew are adapting the software to potentially aid rovers and human explorers on the surface of the Moon or other planets.
Shortly after OSIRIS-REx left Bennu, Liounis’ team released a refined, open-source version for public use. “We considered a lot of changes to make it easier for the user and a few changes to make it run more efficiently,” he said.
An intern modified their code to make use of a graphics processor for ground-based operations, boosting the image processing at the heart of GIANT’s navigation.
A simplified version called cGIANT works with Goddard’s autonomous Navigation, Guidance, and Control software package, or autoNGC in ways that can be crucial to both small and large missions, Liounis said.
Liounis and colleague Chris Gnam developed a celestial navigation capability which uses GIANT to steer a spacecraft by processing images of stars, planets, asteroids, and even the Sun. Traditional deep space navigation uses the mission’s radio signals to determine location, velocity, and distance from Earth. Reducing a mission’s reliance on NASA’s Deep Space Network frees up a valuable resource shared by many ongoing missions, Gnam said.
Next on their agenda, the team hopes to develop planning capabilities so mission controllers can develop flight trajectories and orbits within GIANT – streamlining mission design.
“On OSIRIS-REx, it would take up to three months to plan our next trajectory or orbit,” Liounis said. “Now we can reduce that to a week or so of computer processing time.”
Their innovations have earned the team continuous support from Goddard’s Internal Research and Development program, individual missions, and NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation program.
“As mission concepts become more advanced,” Liounis said, “optical navigation will continue to become a necessary component of the navigation toolbox.”

A 3-times-used Falcon 9 is focusing on liftoff from storied Area Launch Complicated (SLC)-40 at Cape Canaveral Area Power Station, Fla., as early as 9:05 p.m. EDT tonight, with a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V additionally set to fly at 8:34 a.m. EDT Tuesday from neighboring SLC-41 with the extremely categorized NROL-107 Silent Barker payload for the Nationwide Reconnaissance Workplace.
Flying tonight’s mission is B1080, which entered service again in Might to elevate Dragon Freedom and her Ax-2 crew of Commander Peggy Whitson, Pilot John Shoffner and Mission Specialists Ali Al-Qarni and Rayyanah Barnawi on a nine-day analysis expedition to the ISS. In addition to together with a pair of astronauts for Saudi Arabia, the all-private flight made historical past by its inclusion of the primary Saudi feminine spacefarer.
B1080 logged a second launch early final month, when she delivered Europe’s Euclid deep-space observatory uphill. In readiness for her third mission, the Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship (ASDS), “Simply Learn the Directions”, put to sea out of Port Canaveral final weekend, sure for a restoration place offshore within the Atlantic Ocean.
For tonight’s opening launch try, SpaceX is at present monitoring 4 T-0 factors between 9:05 p.m. EDT and 11:04 p.m. EDT, with climate predicted to be round 95-percent favorable. “Unseasonably dry situations will persist by the launch window,” famous the forty fifth Climate Squadron in a Friday replace.
“With little moisture to faucet into, northeasterly stream will convey solely very remoted low-topped showers over the Area Coast,” it was added. All advised, that’s anticipated to induce solely a slight chance of a violation of the Cumulus Cloud Rule.
A 24-hour delay to Sunday night ought to see climate drop to round 80-percent-favorable, due to the anticipated improvement of a low-pressure system within the western Caribbean area and elevated probabilities of showers and onshore winds. Tomorrow’s outlook contains 4 T-0 factors between 8:40 p.m. EDT and 10:39 p.m. EDT.
Aboard B1080 for her third mission can be 22 “V2 Mini” Starlink satellites, set to be deployed about 65 minutes into tonight’s flight. It will mark the thirty fourth batch of those flat-packed, low-orbiting web communications satellites to flown thus far this 12 months, which now totals over 1,300 Starlinks emplaced in orbit for the reason that begin of 2023.
As a community, Starlink facilitates high-speed and low-latency web provision to over 60 sovereign nations and worldwide markets in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa. Final month alone, Cyprus, Guatemala, Kenya, Malaysia and Malawi have signed as much as the community and the Bahamas got here on-line earlier in August.
Florida-based intercity operator Brightline adopted Starlink on its trains earlier in 2023, the primary passenger rail service on the earth to take action. Moreover, El Salvador’s Ministry of Schooling has begun integrating Starlink functionality into its colleges to assist shut the digital divide between city and distant rural communities and 50 Rwandan colleges are actually related by way of Starlink’s high-speed web service.
Closing out August can be ULA’s second mission of 2023—and its first Atlas V flight of the 12 months—carrying the extremely secretive NROL-107 Silent Barker payload for the Nationwide Reconnaissance Workplace, regarded as a Situational Consciousness satellite tv for pc destined for emplacement into near-geosynchronous orbit. Authentic plans referred to as for NROL-107 to fly in Fiscal Yr 2022, though final fall a delay till the tip of 2023 appeared seemingly. In keeping with unique contracts, awarded by the Air Force in February 2019, this flight—part of a three-launch, $441.76 million deal with ULA—has additionally slipped considerably from its placeholder of the second quarter of Fiscal Yr 2022 to the third quarter of 2023.
“Silent Barker is designed to detect and keep custody of house objects,” defined ULA. “Silent Barker will present the potential to look, detect and observe objects from space-based sensors for well timed custody and occasion detection.
“Surveillance from house augments and overcomes current ground-sensor limitations with well timed, 24-hour, above-the-weather assortment of satellite tv for pc metric information, solely potential with a space-based sensor,” it continued, “after which communicates its findings to satellite tv for pc operators, analysts and different mission customers.”
Last month, the Atlas V Widespread Core Booster (CCB) was stacked inside SLC-41’s Vertical Integration Facility (VIF) and the 5 Graphite Epoxy Motor (GEM)-63 strap-on boosters had been added to the stack. At liftoff, the boosters and the CCB’s Russian-heritage RD-180 engine will generate over 2.3 million kilos (1.4 million kilograms) of thrust to elevate the Atlas V and its Silent Barker payload airborne.
Extra just lately, a countdown rehearsal was carried out at SLC-41 in mid-August and final week the payload—encapsulated inside its 17.7-foot-diameter (5.4-meter) fairing—was added to the Atlas V, topping off the rocket at 196 toes (59.7 meters) tall. And on Thursday, ULA groups accomplished the Launch Readiness Evaluation (LRR) and verified their dedication to proceed with Silent Barker’s opening launch try at 8:34 a.m. EDT Tuesday. Rollout of the Atlas V to the pad was accomplished Friday.
Climate for Tuesday’s opening launch try is at present about 65-percent favorable, deteriorating to only 40 % within the occasion of a 24-hour slip to Wednesday. “The climate will grow to be fairly lively subsequent week, as an space of low stress strikes into the Gulf of Mexico,” the forty fifth reported on Friday, with an elevated storm likelihood.
“The Nationwide Hurricane Middle has given the system a 70-percent of improvement within the subsequent seven days,” it ominously concluded. “Whereas there may be nonetheless disagreement among the many international fashions concerning the place, timing and depth of this potential storm, the overall consensus is that the storm will strategy Florida’s west coast.
“By Tuesday morning, a lot of the fashions have the system to our southwest, someplace within the Jap Gulf,” the forty fifth cautioned. “The principle considerations can be any showers that develop from outer bands and anvil clouds blowing off from the primary space of convection within the Gulf.” | aerospace |

Watch This SpaceX Rocket Splash Down During Failed Landing Attempt
06 December 2018, 08:30 | Dale Webster
SpaceX suffers ‘bummer’ landing, first-stage booster crashes into ocean
"Grid fin hydraulic pump stalled, so Falcon landed just out to sea".
Koenigsmann also revealed at the briefing that the rocket's upper stage, which successfully placed the Dragon cargo spacecraft in orbit, used redesigned composite-overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) used to store helium to pressurize the stage's propellant tanks.
As it continued to descend, the rocket is seen in video to begin to spin like a slowly twirling pencil in a counterclockwise motion, the Merlin engine's beneath it fighting to stabilize its flight.
But breaking four records isn't the only thing on SpaceX's plate this week - the company is targeting 1:16 p.m. ET Wednesday for a Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral, this time with thousands of pounds of cargo for the International Space Station.
Groans filled SpaceX Mission Control in Hawthorne, California, as live video showed the first-stage booster spinning out of control, still high above Cape Canaveral. "Some landing systems are not redundant, as landing is considered ground safety critical, but not mission critical", he wrote.
But the tall portion of the rocket missed its goal of securing an upright landing on the solid ground at Cape Canaveral's Landing Zone 1.
But one of the booster's grid fins malfunctioned, SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted Wednesday, causing the booster to spin erratically. After more than two dozen successful rocket landings, SpaceX's most recent attempt resulted in a splashdown, though the rocket remained intact and was retrieved by the company.
"Appears to be undamaged and is transmitting data. Recovery ship dispatched", Musk tweeted. If SpaceX rockets misbehave, that could prompt the agency to perform a safety review and delay those experimental launches.
If the booster had veered off-course more than two minutes before landing, Gebhardt said, then it would have exploded.
As for the Dragon capsule, everything looks good to go as SpaceX is reuses a capsule that previously sent supplies to the space station in February 2017. Although it is nearly without a doubt too early to actually know if the booster is in good enough condition to ever fly again, Musk seemed to directly suggest that it could eventually relaunch in support of an "internal SpaceX mission", basically either Starlink or tech development.

They can function in many systems, but they're found being used in Auto-Pilot and Ground Service applications the most often.
The switch should be considered basically as a relay, but one that has to be manually switched on.
Internally, there is a holding coil used to maintain the switch in the "on" position. Voltage to this coil is present when a "valid" signal is output from the controlling circuit.
As a couple examples:
- A manually engaged Yaw Damp System switch. When the crew flips the switch on, it will remain on as long as the valid signal from the controlling computer (Stab Aug on many older aircraft) is present. If for any reason (let's say a rate gyro takes a dump), the computer and/or system is no longer usable. The valid signal is removed and the switch falls to the off position.
- For aircraft ground service circuits to function, proper GPU (Ground Power Unit) voltage, frequency, and phasing must be sensed by the aircraft. If GPU output is correct, the ground service switch will remain engaged when it's switched on. (On commercial aircraft, the switch remains on no matter what power source the crew is using. As long as the cart is connected and outputting, the ground service switch stays on. If the noise level is low enough, you can hear the switch drop when the GPU is turned off. Is the flight-line "ever" this quite? Do most older mechanics still have the hearing ability to actually hear the switch drop?)
The valid that maintains the switch on can be either voltage or a ground. Coils don't care. As long as both are present the coil stays energized. Removing either the power or ground will de-energize the coil and the switch will fall off. | aerospace |
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4287660-boeing-dreams-take-flight-ugly-truth | 2023-02-06T22:02:51 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500365.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20230206212647-20230207002647-00633.warc.gz | 0.967929 | 2,067 | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__212245625 | en | On the 16th of August, Boeing (NYSE:BA) rolled out a Boeing 787-9 with a stunning color scheme. According to the company, the livery has been applied to celebrate the Employees Community Fund which has funded approximately $1B to local communities. However, there's a story to this aircraft that's less pretty than the livery and affects Boeing as well as Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF). In this report, we tell that story.
The official reading about this aircraft and its color scheme is that it celebrates the Employees Community Fund and to certify the largest full-body decal ever tested on a composite aircraft. If certified, the technology will offer airline customers new opportunities to promote their brand on the 787 Dreamliner through the creative use of photographs, complex multicolor graphics, logos, and various specific finishes with the same durability as paint.
That’s all nice, but when we looked into the aircraft’s manufacturing serial number, what we found is that this is a brand-new aircraft, and especially during challenging times for Boeing where they can use the final delivery payment, one would question why Boeing would apply a color scheme, even for certification purposes, on a brand-new $140 million jet instead of using it on one of their test aircraft. Boeing also could have used their ecoDemonstrator program, which tests new technologies. Starting in the fall of 2019, Boeing will be using a Boeing 787 Dreamliner to test technologies. Whether it's this aircraft that will serve as the next ecoDemonstrator is unknown. What's clear, however, is that this aircraft was not intended to be built for testing a pretty color scheme and its technology.
Source: The Street
The aircraft that is used for certifying the new decal technology was supposed to be delivered to Hong Kong Airlines, but it wasn’t… the aircraft was “NTU” or “Not Taken Up By Customer.” To burst a quick thought: Hong Kong Airlines not taking up the aircraft has nothing to do with the current political crisis in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong Airlines has been in financial trouble since the airline has been investing in HNA-affiliated companies. The HNA Group acquired a stake in Hong Kong Airlines in 2006, but began divesting as China started opposing HNA’s debt-fuelled expansion. The result was that HNA was having troubles getting bank loans for their investments and debt repayments. While the financial strain on Hong Kong Airlines is often attributed to an international expansion being more costly than anticipated, it's likely that instead of getting loans from banks the HNA Group started consuming Hong Kong Airlines, subsequently leading to Hong Kong Airlines not being able to live up to its commitments and requiring a restructuring which included scaling down international operations.
Hong Kong Airlines not taking up the aircraft that Boeing now uses to test decals fits in Hong Kong Airlines’ current restructuring, where the airline is scaling back internationally. Hong Kong Airlines was supposed to lease at least two aircraft from GECAS (GE). GECAS had initially ordered 10 Boeing 787-10s during the Paris Airshow in 2013 and converted six orders to the smaller Boeing 787 variant. Since then, two have been delivered, according to Boeing’s books, while orders for four aircraft were cancelled.
Some digging into the order and delivery data shows us the following:
So, what we know is that the aircraft that GECAS planned on leasing to Hong Kong Airlines has been transferred to Boeing. That means that the aircraft that Boeing has painted, it’s not GECAS’ aircraft. It’s Boeing’s aircraft… it might be a “white tail.” A white tail aircraft is an aircraft that has been build but not yet sold, it’s not the end of the world but it’s not a strong sign. So, Boeing might not have been able to remarket this aircraft yet and instead of leaving it as a “white tail” the jet maker chose to paint it and use it for some testing and promotion.
It remains to be seen whether Boeing was able to find another customer for the other aircraft that was supposed to go to Hong Kong Airlines. Currently it lies in line of expectation that all six aircraft were destined for airlines from the Hainan Airlines Group but only two were delivered and four orders were cancelled. For the finances on the Dreamliner program having this “pink” white-tail is not a big deal. The aircraft remains in inventory as long as it's not delivered. The only drawback could be that the more Boeing flies this jet, the lower the sales price becomes.
The challenges that Hong Kong Airlines is facing is not only affecting Boeing. Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF) is facing similar challenges. In 2010, nine years ago, Hong Kong Airlines signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Airbus for the conversion of 15 Airbus A330ceo orders to orders for the Airbus A350 and 10 orders for the Airbus A330-200. According to our data, in 2011 nine orders for the Airbus A330-200 were attributed to Hong Kong Airlines. All A330-200 aircraft are delivered, but two aircraft are currently stored. In December 2016, Hong Kong Airlines ordered nine Airbus A330-300 aircraft, none of which have been delivered to date.
From the 15 Airbus A350-900 aircraft, according to Airbus only three aircraft are delivered but the airline received another six units via leases. What we found is that the only aircraft in operation with Hong Kong Airlines are the six (four from AerCap (AER) and two from ALAFCO) aircraft they obtained via leases. Three aircraft have been contractually delivered in December 2018. Hong Kong Airlines has transferred the rights for two of the aircraft to Hainan Airlines, which were delivered for storage in late July and early August, while a third aircraft has also been attributed to Hainan Airlines but has yet to be handed over physically. Either way, it seems that all three aircraft will be in storage. At this stage it's not known whether these aircraft already have been paid for by Hainan Airlines or Hong Kong Airlines for that matter. What we do know is that Hong Kong Airlines transferred the rights of these aircraft to Hainan Airlines which has been seeking a $234 million loan to finance the aircraft.
In July, we saw that Hong Kong Airlines cancelled orders for two Airbus A350-900s and these slots were subsequently taken up by DAE Capital, which will be leasing the aircraft to Fiji Airways. Possibly this swap is related to the two Airbus A330-300 aircraft that Hong Kong Airlines has leased from Dubai based DAE Capital but has failed to pay for.
While the Boeing 787-9 color scheme that captures attention is probably the most vibrant and beautiful livery applied to the Dreamliner, behind the pretty aircraft goes a darker story. Due to either a rapid international expansion or being drained by the HNA Group because the group also has flown into turbulence, Hong Kong Airlines has been forced to cut back on its international routes and may even have to cut down its fleet.
The result that we see: A stunning looking Dreamliner.
The results we don’t see or at least are not directly aware of:
While neither of the jet makers is facing huge financial consequences, it might be concerning that if one rather big airline group is having a financial cold, nearly $2B in aircraft orders is wiped. It continues to show that airlines need a thoughtful capacity deployment, but also need to pay close attention to who their shareholders are and how they are dealing with the company. What's happening with Hong Kong Airlines now is not new, we have seen it happening with Alitalia, Jet Airways and Air Berlin… all of these airlines crumbled after their partner's (in this case Etihad Airways’) investment strategy went bust. When the investment partner sneezes, it’s the smaller airlines that the investment partner invested in that get sick and we are shown yet again that this has consequences for the jet makers.
What should be noted is that one reading could be that this aircraft is currently being remarketed, but no customer was found in time for direct delivery. Alternatively, it could be the case that GECAS and Hong Kong Airlines couldn't reach an agreement, so instead Boeing Capital Corporation will be leasing the aircraft to the HNA Group or Hong Kong Airlines eventually on suiting delivery and payment schedule. Either way, aircraft not being taken up is not an odd practice and we tend to see aircraft being remarketed rather easily, unless they have significant performance issues resulting in envelope restrictions.
Update - August 26, 2019, 1:20 p.m: A previous version of this report not sufficiently stressed the possibility that the airframes will still be delivered to the HNA Group or HKA, but with Boeing Capital Corporation as the acting lessor.

https://www.euvolution.com/prometheism-transhumanism-posthumanism/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-space-architect-universe-today/ | 2020-11-30T17:53:29 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141216897.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20201130161537-20201130191537-00525.warc.gz | 0.926804 | 3,883 | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-50__0__10012830 | en | Here on Earth, the concept of architecture (and those who specialize in it), is pretty clear and straightforward. But in space, human beings have comparatively little experience living and working in habitats. For the past sixty years, multiple space stations have been sent to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), which include the now-defunct Salyut stations, Skylab, and Mir, as well as the present-day International Space Station (ISS).
But in the near the future, we hope to build stations and commercial habitats in LEO, on the surface of the Moon, and Mars. In addition to needing a steady supply of food, water, and other necessities, measures will need to be taken to ensure the psychological well-being of their crews. In a recent article, Stellar Amenities founder and CEO (a space architect herself!) Anastasia Prosina explored how space architecture can meet these needs.
In this article, which is available on Stellar Amenities website, Prosina indicates how space architecture borrows from multiple forms of niche architecture to accomplish the task of ensuring human beings can live and work in space. These include the kinds of design elements one finds in tiny housing, small living apartments/houses, vehicle design, capsule hotels, and more.
Prosina summarized the similarities between Earth-bound and space architecture to Universe Today via email:
No matter what kind of architecture it is, it pursues the mission of enhancing the human experience This is the exact same mission [when it comes] to the small architecture of tiny houses, small apartments, Arctic, or any other remote area stations and capsule hotels.
However, as one ventures beyond the realm of principle and gets into the actual process, some very notable differences become clear. In regular architecture, the architects vision comes first, and it is then the responsibility of the engineer to realize this vision. In space architecture, the opposite is the case, where the engineers build and the architects follow.
For the engineers, this means designing and assembling the physical structure in space and incorporating all the essential systems like life support, power systems, water recycling, storage, waste disposal, food, etc. The architect follows, bringing the design elements that make a habitat in space feel worth living in. As Prosina describes the architects role:
The mission of space architecture is to break the monotony of small space habitat and ensure the design helps mitigate risks associated with isolation, said Prosina. A space architect comes afterwards to help design for the human needs in the confined environment.
Herein lies another key difference, which is the level of flexibility Earth-based architects have compared to their space counterparts. In short, the spaceflight industry does not enjoy the same level of creative freedom since their structures need to be functional more than anything. But perhaps the biggest constraint, says Prosina, arises from the fact that space architects need to launch their designs to space:
Architects on Earth are able to create almost everything that comes to their mind. In contrast, space architects have to follow the constraints of a prefabricated structure, a shell of spacecraft. Moreover, the current cost of launching something to space is about $2,700 per kg. Space architects should be creative in choosing the right materials and structures that are lightweight, [durable], and dont emit gasses on the confined environment.
This is not to say that the cost of sending payloads and people into space hasnt improved drastically in recent years. In 2000, NASA estimated that the cost of sending payloads to LEO was over $22,000 per kg ($10,000 per lbs). Naturally, this was something they hoped to reduce by two orders of magnitude in the next four decades to $1,000 per kg (~$450 per lbs) by 2025, and $100 per kg (~$45 per lbs) by 2040.
At present, SpaceX is able to send payloads to LEO for $1,410 per kg ($640 per lbs) using their Falcon Heavy rocket, a further improvement on what the Falcon 9 can do $2,719 per kg ($1,233 per lbs). Nevertheless, sending habitats to space is still a multi-multi-million dollar venture that requires multiple heavy launch systems. On top of that, the components of a space habitat need to be designed to be launched into space prior to assembly.
As Prosina explained, this raises another important constraint, which is the issue of transportation:
A habitat should perfectly fit into a transportation system and make the most efficient use of it in terms of volume, mass and multifunctionality. It decreases the price of going far away which allows to do more things per funding unit, thus fostering exploration
In recent years, the prospect of building habitats in space has moved beyond the realm of scientific proposals and science fiction to become a real possibility. Much of this is the result of the commercial space industry (aka. NewSpace), which has led the way in reducing the associated costs of individual launches and the move towards commercializing LEO.
In addition to allowing greater access to space (for companies, universities, research institutes, and individuals), the NewSpace industry has also focused attention on how going to space can be adventurous and even luxurious. This is where ideas like space tourism, space hotels, and commercial space stations in LEO and on other celestial bodies come into play.
In the coming years, Richard Branson (founder and CEO of Virgin Galactic) and Jeff Bezos (Amazon and Blue Origin founder and CEO) hope to offer flights to suborbit with their spaceplanes and rockets (respectively). Other companies, like SpaceX and Space Adventures, are looking to go even farther, offering flights to the Moon and even Mars.
In all of these cases, the challenges go far beyond engineering concerns. In NewSpace, says Prosina, companies need to offer more than just safety and access to space. They also need to offer a variety of experiences, leisure, and comfort to make the services appealing. This way, and only this way, will they be able to stay competitive against rival companies.
As Prosina indicated, this has also had an effect on the job description of the space architect:
Traditionally, space architect was equal to a systems engineer. Currently, here is a transition happening, and now if you want to work as a space architect at NASA, you should combine both disciplines, aerospace and architecture. Private sector is picking up faster. For example, Blue Origin and SpaceX are recognizing that design is as important as safety because design supports wellbeing which is critical in long missions.
In the coming years, Prosina anticipates that space architecture will become a fast-growing industry, and its professionals will be in high demand. In the next decade, a number of scientific and technological advances are expected that will enable architects to come up with increasingly sophisticated solutions to the challenges of living in space.
Since space habitats are extremely tiny, we, space architects, make sure that people inside of it dont feel confined, stressed, Prosina added. The users have a pretty close up view to their habitats so it is essential to pay attention to using color psychology and tactile experience to make the space feel bigger and diversify the experiences in a small environment.
Similar to what Marschitect Vera Mulyani (aka. Vera Mars), the founder and CEO of Mars City Design, and other space enthusiasts are proposing, the overall aim here is to find ways in which human beings can thrive in space, not just survive. This is essential if people are going to live beyond Earth in the near future, and its also necessary to make the prospect appealing. Said Prosina:
Vera and I are colleagues pursuing the common vision since this is how architecture is serving humanity. Architecture helps us thrive on Earth so we should apply it in other places wherever humanity goes! As for today, a total of 566 people from 41 countries have gone into space. Of those, only around 7 have been an orbit tourist whereas 56 thousand people can afford to do so. However, it takes more than wealth to go to space and to buy a ticket, it takes people to really want to go to space.
The way we make going to space affordable, concludes Prosina, is to get people to want to go to space. So not only do we need to reduce the associated costs and be creative with our interior designs, we also need an accompanying shift in perspective. However, its fair to say at this point that space tourism, commercializing space, and the idea of space being the new frontier are already popular.
One thing is clear, though. Humanity has the potential to build a very bright future that involves living in space. The benefits and opportunities, properly realized, are limitless and extend back to Earth.

Originally designed as a modernized F9F Cougar, the F11F-1 became the USN's second supersonic fighter, and was flown by the Blue Angels.
In 1952 the Grumman Aircraft Company began a privately funded program to upgrade the F9F Cougar, applying the Area Rule to the fuselage, replacing the engine with one more powerful, and redesigning the wing. This project, given the internal ID code G-98, eventually resulted in an aircraft with almost no resemblance to the Cougar, but the potential performance interested the USN's Bureau of Aeronautics enough to order two prototypes in 1953, under the designation XF9F-8 (later changed to XF9F-9).

In addition to a new, area-ruled fuselage, the new aircraft's wing had full-span leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps, with roll control achieved using spoilers rather than traditional ailerons. For storage on aircraft carriers, the F-11 Tiger's wings manually folded downwards, unique for a USN carrier aircraft. The XF9F-8 was designed for the Curtis-Wright J65 jet engine, a license-built copy of the Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire, fitted with an afterburner. Given the predicted performance, the tailplane was all-moving. The plane would be armed with four Colt Mk.12 20mm cannons, and the wing was equipped with four hardpoints for unguided rockets, AIM-9 Sidewinder IR missiles, or drop tanks.
The first prototype was delivered in 1954, and due to delays with the afterburner-equipped J65 a standard model was fitted instead. Despite this, the aircraft nearly reached Mach 1 during its maiden flight on 30 July 1954, while the second prototype flew for the first time on 2 October 1954. The first prototype suffered an engine flame-out and crashed at Grumman's Calverton plant on Long Island on 20 October of the same year; the pilot was not seriously injured, but the aircraft was deemed to be not economical to rebuild. The remaining prototype was transferred to Edwards AFB for further testing, which included refitting with an afterburning engine and its first supersonic flight. Flight testing revealed some minor handling issues, which required some modifications to be made to the production model, including redesigned vertical tail surfaces with a narrower chord rudder, boundary layer splitter plates on the air intakes, a clear sliding canopy to improve rearward visibility, and a slightly longer nose.

The US Navy ordered 388 production models of the aircraft, now designated the F11F-1 and given the name Tiger, keeping to the tradition of giving Grumman aircraft feline names. An additional 85 F11F-1P photo recon aircraft were ordered as well. The production F11F would be fitted with full weapons suites, including AN/APG-30A ranging radar, as well as retractable inflight refueling probe.
Carrier trials took place aboard the USS Forrestal in April of 1956, which revealed further issues. The Navy found the range of the F11F marginal, and Grumman responded by adding additional fuel tanks to the intake walls and vertical fin, adding 130 gallons capacity, bringing the total to 1,049gal. Handling issues resulted in a 60° fillet being added to the front of the wing root, and the nose was extended by six feet to accommodate the AN/APS-50 fire-control radar, which was never actually fitted to the Tiger.

A short service, and ignominy
Seven U.S. Navy squadrons flew the F11F-1: VF-21 and VF-33 in the Atlantic Fleet and VA-156 (redesignated VF-111 in January 1959), VF-24 (redesignated VF-211 in March 1959), VF-51, VF-121, and VF-191 in the Pacific Fleet, flying from the smaller Essex-class carriers Intrepid, Lexington, Hancock, Bon Homme Richard, Shangri-La, Forrestal, Saratoga and Ranger. The Tiger had a short service life with front-line squadrons, with the last being withdrawn from VF-33 and VF-111 in April 1961. The F11F was judged to be inferior to the F8U which entered service at the same time, having a slower top speed and being shorter ranged than the Crusader, as well as having a slower climb rate. The production contracts were canceled after 199 were completed, with the entirety of the run of F11F-1P recon variants being canceled.

The F11F Tiger holds the rather dubious distinction of being the first jet known to have shot itself down. On 21 September 1956, during a test-firing of its 20 mm cannons, pilot Tom Attridge fired two bursts midway through a shallow dive. As the trajectory of the cannon rounds decayed, the Tiger ran into the bullets as it continued its descent. Four rounds, luckily inert rather than explosive, struck the aircraft, one leaving a mark on the armored windscreen, two impacting the nose, and the last penetrating the engine compartment, destroying the compressor section. Attridge, who was not seriously injured, was able to land the ruined aircraft, which was later scrapped.
If I can't fight, I can at least teach
After being withdrawn from combat units, the Tigers continued on with ATU-203 (later VT-23) at NAAS Kingsville and ATU-223 (VT-26) at NAS Chase Field. Graduates of the advanced jet training classes moved from F9F-8T trainers to the F11F for supersonic experience before moving on to fleet fighters. A proposal was made to either convert existing aircraft or to build new a two-seat trainer version as F11F-1Ts, but the Navy was uninterested. The Tiger remained with the two training units until 1967, when they were retired to the Boneyard in Arizona. Because of this long service, the F11F were redesignated F-11As under the 1962 tri-service scheme.

From thoroughbred to show pony to test mule
Though it may have only served with front line units for a short time, the Tiger had a long life with the US Navy's Blue Angels demonstration team. The team acquired the short-nosed variant in 1957, and later traded them for the longer-nosed version, which they flew until 1968. In addition to their usual trips around the US, the Angels took their Tigers to Mexico in 1964, on a tour of the Caribbean and Europe (including the Paris Air Show) in 1965, and again to Europe in 1967. Crowds were enthusiastic for the deceptively powerful F-11, and in Paris the Blue Angels received a standing ovation, the only flight team to receive such appreciation. For the 1969 season, the Blue Angels transitioned to the F4J Phantom II, bringing an end to the USN career of the F-11.

In 1973 two of the former Blue Angels F-11s were pulled from the Boneyard by Grumman for an evaluation of in-flight thrust reversers for tactical fighters. BuNo 141853 was fitted with a Rohr Industries thrust reverser, while BuNo 141824 was restored to flight condition as is to serve as a chase plane. Tests were conducted, first at Grumman's Calverton Facility and then at NATC Pax River, between 1974 and 1975, after which the two aircraft were returned to Davis-Monthan for storage. These were the last two Tigers to fly.

Disappointed with the performance of the F11F-1, Grumman began a study in 1955 to further improve the aircraft, resulting in the G-98J, a Tiger with enlarged intakes feeding a GE J79 turbojet (the same jet that powered the F4J and A3J. The Navy was intrigued enough to fund the conversion of two production F11F-1s (BuNos 138646 and 138647), creating the F11F-1Fs. The F11F-1F first flew in 1956, achieving Mach 1.44. Further refinement of the design, including a fuselage extension, wing root fillets, and an uprated J79, pushed the Super Tiger to Mach 2.04 in 1957, fully two years before the F4J, F8U, or A3J hit the same mark. Despite this blistering performance, the Navy decided against procuring the Super Tiger, leaving Grumman without a client for the aircraft. Grumman sought foreign customers, pitching the aircraft (variously designated F11F-2 or F-11B) to the Swiss Airforce, where it narrowly lost out to the Mirage III, then to the Luftwaffe, JASDF and RCAF, where it lost to the F-104 Starfighter (though the Lockheed bribery scandal taint that win to this day). The two Super Tigers remained at Edwards for further testing, then were used as ground and fire-fighting training until the middle 60s. The first aircraft was destroyed in the 1980s, while the second is on display at the China Lake Museum.

It was developed from the Lockheed P-80/F-80 by lengthening the fuselage by slightly more than 3 feet and adding a second seat, instrumentation, and flight controls. Design work on the Lockheed P-80 began in 1943, with the first flight in January 1944. Following on the Bell P-59, the P-80 became the first jet fighter to enter full squadron service in the United States Army Air Forces. As more advanced jets entered service, the F-80 took on another role—training jet pilots. The two-place T-33 jet was designed for training pilots already qualified to fly propeller-driven aircraft.
Our T-33 taken by the USAF sometime in 1951 with s/n 51-4033 . After a decade of service, it was adopted by the US Navy. After being retired from the service, it became part of Planes of Fame museum in Chino, CA, during which it served as a pace plane at the Reno Air Races for many years. In 2011, it became part of our collection.

The former system is, generally, what NASA seeks to move away from; the latter hasn’t been done for decades.
I think this is a sign of a return to the crew capsule days. While NASA-philes [and the greater American public] might consider that to be outmoded, it’s certainly been effective for the Russians for the entirety of their spacefaring days [which number more than 40 years, for those keeping track].
NASA also noted that an STS orbiter modification would not be carried out as originally planned. In both Challenger and Columbia, the crew survived the initial infarction and perished as a result of the impact of the crew compartment. Design modifications were being considered to make the crew compartment sturdier, but with STS on the way out, it doesn’t make fiscal sense when the risk of crew loss is so low [<2%] and the development time is long [4-5 years, at best, with every modification requiring a re-fit that would probably take a year], almost as long as the planned life of STS. | aerospace |

Achieves 15-Year Milestone as Engine Upgrade Specialist
GENEVA — May 22, 2014 — Blackhawk Modifications, a leading provider of engine performance upgrades for a range of popular turboprop aircraft, is flying high as it prepares for this year’s European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) and celebrates two major milestones — the company’s 15-year anniversary and the upcoming completion of its 500th aircraft upgrade.
“Since May 1999, Blackhawk has been proudly helping turboprop aircraft owners and pilots upgrade their aircraft with new Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) PT6A engines,” said Blackhawk President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Allmon. “Blackhawk was born from the idea that new, more capable engines would provide aircraft performance and value enhancements not possible through overhaul alone.”
Blackhawk engine experts will be available to speak with members of the business aviation community throughout EBACE (Booth 2237), May 20-22 in Geneva, Switzerland.
“We are proud to be part of this celebration, and Blackhawk’s success is a testament to their talented and hardworking team,” said Denis Parisien, Vice President, General Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “For 15 years, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Blackhawk have worked side-by-side to provide turboprop operators more power, faster climbs, and higher cruise speeds — and we look forward to continuing this highly productive collaboration.”
Blackhawk specializes in engineering development and certification of engines and has 25 Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) from multiple agencies for turboprop aircraft, including most King Air 90 and 200 models, Piper Cheyenne I, II and IIXL models, Cessna 425s, Conquest Is and Cessna 208A and 208B Caravans. The company has the largest installed fleet of STC twin – engine turboprop engine upgrades, and is the world’s largest non-OEM buyer of new P&WC turboprop engines.
“Maintaining lasting relationships with our customers has been a crucial part of our success,” said Matt Shieman, Blackhawk Board Chairman. “The constant engagement with our customers inspired some of our most innovative projects and helped elevate us to the forefront of the refurbishment industry. Even today, our engineering team is continually working to improve our existing products and expand our portfolio of new-engine performance upgrades.”

The possibility of drones within the parcel delivery landscape has been long-discussed, but just how much of a reality is it? Regulations regarding the use of national airspace present the largest hurdle, as it’s not currently legal to operate a fully automated drone system in the U.S. Plus, there is still a need for greater technological developments for the drones themselves… But, we’re not that far off. Several companies, including Amazon, Airbus and UPS, have already began conducting tests to get ahead of the curve.
Most recently, Airbus Helicopters announced a partnership with the SingPost postal service company to conduct real-world trials of their Skyways drones at The National University of Singapore. Airbus will be introducing systems and structures that allow for drones to land, dock with secure structures, discharge and take on parcels. The initial phase of the trial could start as soon as early 2018.
You may also be familiar with Amazon’s Prime Air delivery system, designed to deliver packages that weigh up to five pounds in 30 minutes or less with the use of drones. This game changer allows customers to get their packages faster than ever before while enjoying a safer and more efficient transportation system.
UPS tested its own efficient truck-launched drone system this year. The drones were built by Workhorse Group for use on rural routes where delivery stops are miles apart. The driver can deliver at the first stop and launch the drone to a second spot, then drive to deliver at a third where the drone will reconvene with the truck. In this scenario, the driver could perform two deliveries at once, saving time, gas and ultimately money while also resulting in decreased vehicle emissions. This is one of the first companies to test incorporating drone delivery into their day-to-day delivery operations. UPS estimates that reducing just one mile per driver per day over the course of a year could save them up to $50 million.
The benefits of using drones for parcel delivery are numerous and extremely evident. With so many companies competing to create an efficient model, it’s only a matter of time and sorting out some legal limitations before a drone-filled parcel delivery system is realized.
Drones are being used for more than just parcel delivery, too. In late 2016, Unmanned Life and Prime Competence joined forces to design the world's first autonomous drone-based postal sorting center for PostNL, a Netherlands-based postal and parcel service. This caters to the booming demand of the e-commerce industry, which requires quicker and more efficient sorting and delivery to match online purchase volume.

With the dates of their respective foundings (1903 and 2003) separated by exactly 100 years, the two companies together in many respects encapsulate the full gamut of vehicle design and engineering evolution since the beginning of the automobile industry to the present day.
When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars, people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.
This weekend, for the first time in 10 years, the United States launched a manned rocket into orbit from Cape Canaveral, with the aim of docking with the International Space Station. This feat was a joint effort by NASA, a government-funded organization, and a private company that goes by the name of Space Exploration Technologies (better known as SpaceX for short). The success of this launch is due, in large part, to the cost-saving innovations in rocketry by SpaceX engineers—one of the most impressive of which is the use of a reusable Falcon booster rocket. Yet, when somebody has a breakthrough innovation, it is usually a combined cascade of events. “Very rarely, is it one little thing,” according to Elon Musk, the CEO/CTO of SpaceX. “It’s usually a whole bunch of things that collectively amount to a huge innovation.” | aerospace |

AFP/The Local · 24 Oct 2013, 17:56
Published: 24 Oct 2013 17:56 GMT+02:00
- Two feared dead in Swiss army fighter jet crash (23 Oct 13)
- Referendum campaign opposes new combat jets (08 Oct 13)
- Swiss Army 'fights' France over finances (29 Sep 13)
Rescuers also found the aircraft's black box, the defence department said.
"Both people onboard the F/A-18 fighter jet that crashed yesterday have been found dead," the department said in a statement.
The F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet was one of two that took off in the canton of Bern for a training mission, but it crashed shortly after into a cliff overlooking a branch of Lake Lucerne.
A professional air force pilot and his passenger, an air force doctor taking part in the training exercise, were killed in the crash.
Rescue workers had recovered both bodies and an autopsy had been ordered, the defence department said.
The aircraft's black box had also been salvaged and was being examined.
Depending on the condition of the box, the examination could take "days or even weeks", the department added.
The army has launched an investigation into why the crash happened and has temporarily suspended all flights by its fleet of McDonnell Douglas single- and double-seated F/A-18s, which before Wednesday's accident totalled 33
Another of the Swiss Hornets crashed in Crans-Montana in the canton of Valais in 1998, killing both pilots. | aerospace |

- download and activate aeronautical charts from chart suppliers
- find out and memorize landmarks using Satellite chart mode
- record and replay flown flighs
- use Airmate during flight instruction
Creating and managing your own user waypointsCreating its own waypoints for specific locations is very useful. To this end, when map is displayed, do a long press on the desired location. The regulated areas window will open to display the regulated areas list at this point, select the first button « Create User Waypoint ». You need only to enter the waypoint identifer you want to assign and a short description, check the latitude/longitude and adjust it if needed and then Save. You could from now on use this user waypoint during route creation. When you click on an user waypoint on the map, you are able to add it to the route or perform a direct to it when in Flight mode, but also to modify or delete it.
Download a topographic mapWhen Internet coverage is available, Airmate will download as needed topographic maps for any place in the world. But this is not possible when flying without Internet access. You need then to download in advance the topographic data of the countries you will overfly to ensure consistent coverage (if you forgot this step, Airmate will neverthless display a low resolution map). At installation time, Airmate will recommend to download the topographic map of your home country. If you will overfly other countries, we advice to download also their maps before flying. To this end, go to Settings menu and then select « Manage charts ». A list of available charts will be proposed to you, you could select those you need. Topographic maps are generated from the worldwide reference OpenStreetMap data, they are all free of charge. You could select several topographic charts, they will be downloaded and installed sequentially.
Download and activate aeronautical charts from chart suppliersIn standard mode, Airmate will dynamically create a full aeronautical map, by overlaying topographic map with aeronautical data (airports, regulated areas, radio beacons, waypoints, airways…).
You could fully replace in a given area this dynamically generated map by an aeronautical chart (eg 500k) from a map supplier, eg IGN, Air Million, Cartabossy, Avioportolano or OpenFlightMaps. Those charts may be free of charge (OpenFlightMaps, US Sectionals) or charged (commercial suppliers).
Those charts are downloaded using the same procedure than topographic maps: go to Settings menu and select « Manage charts ». If the chart is a paying one, you could purchase it online.
One such a chart overlay is downloaded, you could activate it anytime. To this end, press the button « Layers » at the bottom right of the chart. You will be shown the list of downloaded chart overlays and could select the associated switch to active it.
When an aeronautical chart overlay is activated, it will replace both the topographic map and the Airmate aeronautical data within its boundaries. This means that for example airfields or regulated areas will no longer be displayed on top of the chart by Airmate as the chart already embeds those data. But Airmate is still providing active content, and will display the associated information with a single press or a long press is done. If you click on an airport, you will still have the airport popover window that will present you airport weather, frequencies, runways and IFR/VFR charts.
The « Layers » button includes a Chart Overlay switch to request Airmate to display its own data on top of the aeronautical chart. This could lead to a cluttered display, but this function is very useful to compare aeronautical data from both sources. Airmate data are updated more regularly than chart data.
Find out and memorize landmarks using Satellite chart modeAirmate map displays at startup aeronautical data on top of a topographic map.
Switch the map in « Satellite » mode using the Layers button at the bottom right of the map. The topographic map is replaced by a satellite view of the Earth you could zoom it to look at proeminent landmarks. To keep full awareness of aeronautical environment, all airports, radio beacons, waypoints and regulated areas are still displayed on top of the satellite view.
Satellite mode is fetching data over Internet and is therefore not available in flight.
You could also switch to Satellite view when replaying the flight path of a recorded flight.
record and replay flown flighsThe plane button at the upper right of the Airmate map toggles between Planning and Flight mode. In Flight mode, Airmate will display actual plane position and flight data: speed, track, approximate altitude and vertical speed, next point distance and ETE.
When switched in Flight mode, Airmate is recording flight performance data during all the flight. Those data are saved when Airmate is switched again in Planning mode at the end of the flight.
From the planned flight list displayed at launch, you could view the list of flown flights by selecting the History button at the bottom of the screen. It is then possible to select one of the flown flight to review it, replay the plane track on the map, and share the recorded flight with friends or flight instructor. The recorded flight data may be sent by email in GPX format to any recipient. GPX data may easily be imported in Google Earth or other tools.
Use Airmate during flight instructionAirmate features are perfectly suited to help flight instruction:
- first of all, Airmate is a free app, helping student pilots to keep their hard earned money to pay for flight hours.
- Airmate is very easy to use without training and provides instant access to weather data, NOTAMs, aeronautical information, helping student pilots to learn the good habit of always obtaining up-to-date information before flying.
- It is not easy for student pilots to recognize on aeronautical maps the landmark he/she will have to overflow during his next flight. Thanks to Airmate Satellite mode, viewing and memorizing landmarks will never be easier
- Thanks to its flight recording and replay features, Airmate will provide all needed data for an efficient postflight review with the Flight Instructor. | aerospace |

Published: Monday, July 25, 2011 at 7:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 25, 2011 at 7:24 p.m.
When the space shuttle Atlantis touched down Thursday, marking the end of the 30-year program, it was an emotional day for Lexington native Brett Pearce.
Standing 3 miles away on the morning of July 8 for the last launch, Pearce's view was better than most others. It was bittersweet, Pearce said, as it marked the end of an era.
And when Atlantis returned, Pearce awoke early to catch the shuttle's landing at 5:57 a.m. The landing didn't ooze the same level of pomp and circumstance as the launch but it was the final formality of a process Pearce had been a part of from start to finish — present when Atlantis started her final 3-mile trip, rolling from the vehicle assembly building to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center days before her final flight, to her launch and, finally, her successful return.
Pearce, who has been spending summers working with NASA at Kennedy Space Center since 2006 while working on his degree at N.C. State University, has witnessed six space shuttle launches. But with Atlantis' last flight, Pearce was part of the entire launch process, from roll out to landing.
"It's so powerful," Pearce said of the launch. "I mean it really hits you. It's something spectacular to see — it never gets old. If you don't walk away in awe, there is something wrong. This vehicle (Atlantis) has been an icon for a generation. It's very bittersweet to see the end of the program."
But with as much anticipation as there was surrounding the last launch, it nearly fell through. Hours before the scheduled 11:30 a.m. launch time, the weather threatened to delay it, Pearce said.
"If you had asked me that morning, I would have said they were going to call it because of the weather," he said. "It was actually 70 percent no go. It was mainly clouds that was obscuring it. You have to have a certain level of clearance for the vehicle to fly through."
At just under 20 minutes before the launch, the clouds opened up, Pearce said.
"The crowd is just on edge at this point," he said. "We're listening to all the calls from mission control and they start polling everybody. You can feel the crowd just holding their breath. They poll weather and we hear, 'weather is go.'"
With all systems in check, Atlantis took off on schedule, signifying the beginning of the end of NASA's 30-year shuttle program.
"You see the plume of smoke coming out and the vehicle is obscured by the smoke at that point," Pearce said. "You see her rise up out of the smoke with just the brightest light you could possibly imagine and the crowd just went nuts. It gives you a real patriotic feeling to know just what this country can still do and what technological achievements we're still capable of."
When Atlantis landed, it capped the end of more than 130 space shuttle missions. For Pearce, the grounding of the shuttle leaves many unanswered questions.
"I don't like the fact we don't have anything in the works," Pearce said. "The shuttle was well under way at the end of Apollo and that was still a six-year gap. I worry a lot for the space program. I hope the commercial guys are able to pull through but it's one of those make-or-break periods in history right now where we're actually going to see change. We have a $100 billion laboratory (International Space Station) and we don't have our own vehicle to get to it."

Photo - Piper PA-28R-201 Cherokee Arrow IV with its distinctive "T" tail - Public Domain Photo
The Piper (Cherokee) Arrow was introduced in 1967. This aircraft came with a constant speed propeller and retractable landing gear. It has an Lycominf O-360 engine with 180 horsepower. In 1969 the engine power was upgraded to 200 horsepower. The Piper Arrow came out at the same time Piper stopped producing the Cherokee 150 and 160.
The Piper Arrow IV resembled the other Piper aircraft with its "T" styled tail and in 1968 the Arrow's engine controls changed from push pull to levers and a third window was added giving it a modern look.
Piper Arrow's were built for personal use, flight training and air taxi. The cabin is unpressurized, single engine and the only way to climb into the low wing aircraft is to step on the wing. Not anything like a cushy jet but plenty good for the average pilot who wants to fly a small aircraft and get a feel of the elements.

My husband loves to fly so one day he decided to rent an airplane from the local airport. His favorite place to fly is above our area. He can peer down and see our home and check out the surrounding area. Our neighbor lives just a quarter of a mile up the road from us and had a large area of corn growing. The corn was probably close to six feet tall that day.
As he flew up and down our valley he just resist seeing how close he could get to the tops of that corn. So flying low he buzzed the corn while almost touching the tops. He did this a couple of times before tiring of the fun and went elsewhere.
Later that day or the next while talking to a friend, the friend started to tell him about some crazy guy who had flown his aircraft so dangerously close to the ground that he was sure the guy would crash. My husband kept a straight face and pretended to be interested and asked intelligent questions but he didn't let it out that he was that crazy pilot. I guess he didn't want the neighbor to know it was him that would do such a foolish stunt. However given the chance he probably would do it over again.

Dear Piper Arrow Fans,
I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.
In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep | aerospace |

Waiting at Gate D76 inside Pittsburgh International Airport’s Airside Terminal, travelers chatted with one another and took photos of the unique aircraft parked outside: a McDonnell Douglas MD-88 aircraft about to carry passengers for the last time.
The flight signified the end of an era for Delta, aviation enthusiasts and the entire aviation industry, as the Atlanta-based carrier officially retired the remainder of its MD-88 and MD-90 fleets on Tuesday.
Delta was the last U.S. airline to fly aircraft in the MD-80 family, after American, Alaska Airlines, Allegiant and Spirit, among other airlines, phased out the aircraft in recent years. Commonly referred to as a “workhorse” for the industry, the long-bodied plane is admired by pilots and aviation enthusiasts alike for features including a traditional analog cockpit and pair of noisy Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan engines.
Five other airports also waved farewell to MD-88 flights on Tuesday. Many of the passengers who booked a seat on Delta Air Lines flight DL2375 out of PIT traveled from across the country just to take part.
Michael Evans, an executive recruiter from Chicago, fell in love with the plane as soon as it started flying.
“I remember when the MD-88 came out and replaced the [Boeing] 727,” recalled Evans, who traveled from Chicago O’Hare on Monday to catch Tuesday’s flight to Atlanta. “With the analog cockpit and the sound of the engines, it’s just an incredible flying experience. It’s really the last aircraft that has some of the romance of flying – these are the aircraft where every input is done by the pilot.”
Similarly, a pair of friends, Gregg Pullano and Brian Szemon, traveled to PIT from Cleveland to experience one last flight on the aircraft fondly referred to as the “Mad Dog.”
“It has a classic design,” noted Pullano. “It’s the last one to have those old-school, loud turbofan engines, high-powered takeoff. It’s fun to watch and it’s fun to fly.”
“You just don’t feel that with modern aircraft,” Szemon added. “They don’t throw you back in the seat – the modern aircraft are really gentle now. This [MD-88] is like full thrust, back of the seat.”
For others on board Tuesday morning, the aircraft held a more personal significance.
Chris Portman, a PIT-based customer service representative for Delta and his wife, former Delta employee Emilia Portman, had a special reason to catch the MD-88 flight with their two young daughters.
“For our first date we went on this flight,” Chris Portman explained.
Another aviation enthusiast, Brent Mooney, traveled from Atlanta to Pittsburgh for the flight, well, back to Atlanta.
“This is my childhood route,” said Mooney. “I have family in Pittsburgh and I’ve flown this route so many times on this exact aircraft. I chose to take this flight because it means a lot to me.”
Delta began flying its MD-88 aircraft in 1987 and the MD-90s in 1995. Over three decades, the carrier owned 120 MD-88s and 65 MD-90s. In total, Delta’s “Mad Dogs” have carried roughly 750 million passengers over more than 600 combined routes.
On Tuesday morning, the final MD-88 flights departed for Atlanta from Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut; Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport in Florida; Virginia’s Richmond International and Norfolk International airports’ Raleigh-Durham International in North Carolina; and Washington Dulles International Airport.
The last MD-88 flight arrived in Atlanta from Washington Dulles and the last MD-90 flight arrived from George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston. Flight DL2375 from Pittsburgh marked the second-to last passenger flight on Delta’s MD-88. Ultimately, the planes will retire to an aircraft boneyard located in Blytheville at Arkansas International Airport. | aerospace |

CNC machining aerospace parts offer the highest accuracy manufacturing in the aerospace industries. Industries like aircraft, pharmaceutical, medical, and defence and military sectors require parts with zero defects. A slight manufacturing error can cause massive damage to the industry as well as to human lives. Therefore, these industries inculcate CNC techniques which ensure the manufactured part is errorfree. An aircraft comprises several components, and every component needs to have maximum attainable precision.
From the aircraft's wheels and wings to its interior and engine, everything involves CNC techniques. The CNC works on a CAD model and operates without any human intervention. It is a subtractive manufacturing technique; therefore, it removes material using 3-axes or multiaxis rotational cutting tool.
The CNC machining aerospace parts have various characteristics that make them unique and distinct. This article discusses the characteristics and importance of CNC machining in the aerospace industry.
Computer Numeric Control Technique
Computer numeric control or CNC is one of the most prominent manufacturing techniques and provides the highest quality of precision compared to other techniques. Unlike injection moulding and 3D printing, the CNC machining is a subtractive manufacturing technique that fabricates the finished part by removing material using a cutting tool.
The materials CNC uses mostly include aluminium, silicon, plastic etc. It works on the CAM/Cad model which instructs the CNC its rotation speed, direction and movement. The Client provides a CAD model that enlists the manufactured product design and CAM translates and works on the CAD model. It is the highest level of precision which makes CNC extremely popular in aerospace, pharmaceutical, space, defence and military industries. And therefore, every big manufacturing industry now employs CNC machine techniques.
Characteristics Of CNC Machining Aerospace Parts
The aerospace industry employs the CNC techniques as it cannot afford to have defects in the parts. Imagine a craft flying thousands of feet above the ground fails to work just because of one single component's failure. One single defected part can result in substantial financial damage and loss of lives.
Therefore, the CNC technique is excellent for aerospace industries as it offers the highest accuracy precision and other versatile features. Based on structure an aerospace craft comprises an engine, fuselage, airborne components and equipment, including the wing, large wall panels and frames on the tail, valve body, shell, hydraulic valve, rotor blades, optical tubes, connectors, fasteners, and more. Here are a few characteristics of the CNC machining aerospace parts.
The CNC machining aerospace parts offer outstanding performance as their fabrication involves a fully automatic operation. It also offers versatility in terms of material selection like aluminium, titanium, etc. These materials impact durability and accuracy to the finished product and ensure the highest accuracy.
Aerospace parts need to be lightweight, and therefore a detailed analysis determines the most suitable dimensions and weight of the parts. The CNC techniques allow the application of thin-walled structures which make it ideal for lightweight aerospace applications.
The CNC machining aerospace parts have the highest degree of precision. Since there's no human intervention, there are zero chances of error. This attribute is essential for aerospace, medical, defence, pharmaceutical, etc. industries as a slight defect in any part can result in financial loss and can risk thousands of lives.
Economical And Reliable
The 3-axes CNC machining is not as expensive as the CNC 5-axes. However, to achieve versatility in designing CNC aerospace parts, 5-axes offer a wide variety of features. Moreover, the degree of precision it offers makes it cost-effective and durable in the long run. Also, the manufactured parts are reliable; therefore, one can consider investing more money to achieve reliability and precision.
Importance Of CNC Machining In Aerospace Industry
The CNC machining techniques provide colossal benefits to the aerospace industry. Below mentioned are the few out of the many advantages of CNC machining in the aerospace industry.
Accuracy In Products
The aerospace industry needs the highest level of precision in parts to manufacture products. You cannot risk the lives of people and staff travelling thousands of feet about the ground, and hence, CNC machining aerospace parts ensure the accuracy and quality of the finished parts.
The operation of the CNC machining is automatic and works on the principles of robotics. As there is no human intervention, there are the least chances of errors. The skilled and professional staff can make errors in manual operations. Therefore, industries like aerospace, defence, and space employ the CNC techniques that fulfil the AS9100C Quality Management System's standards, which ensures the best practices to produce the highest accuracy parts.
Innovation In Design
The aerospace industry requires the most accurate parts to fabricate their final product. For this purpose, it makes sure to test multiple samples so that the final product will have zero chances of error. The CNC techniques work using several materials including aluminium, steel, plastic etc.
Therefore the manufacturer or the entrepreneur can manufacture prototypes and test them. This ability to test the parts before employing them allows the manufacturer to upgrade, modify and ultimately improve it. Hence, ensuring accuracy in the final fabricated part.
The aerospace industry cannot afford to withstand any delay in the manufacturing of the products. It requires the highest level of services in a shorter period. There is a particular set time for the designing, prototyping, assembling, manufacturing, and shipping the finished product.
Any delay in any of these processes is no less than a disaster for aerospace industries. The CNC machining ensures convenient operation to manufacture aerospace parts. The manufacturing of the finished product is entirely automatic. Therefore there are no chances of error and delayed production, prototyping and shipping.
Efficient And Effective Operation
The CNC machining employs 3-axes and multi-axes fabricating tools. Since 3-axes only allow movement in three dimensions, it is not as useful as the 5-axes CNC machining tools. The 5-axes allow movement in two additional dimensions, linearly in three dimensions while rotatory in the other two axes.
Therefore, there are vast choices of fabricating the most complex shapes most accurately. Multi-axes CNC machining is an all-rounder and therefore enjoys a great deal in aerospace industries.
The CNC machining in aerospace provides versatility in the manufacturing and repeatability of products. It can manufacture the most intricate designs with the highest accuracy and work on various materials. It is an all-in-one solution for the fabrication of parts using steel, plastic, aluminium. The employment of Multi-axes CNC tools allows you to manufacture the products with the most complicated designs.
There is excellent repeatability in the designs of the parts. One cannot imagine if the operations were manual, how much time and effort an individual would require to fabricate the same product again and again with the same accuracy. The Cam/cad models provide extreme convenience and have entirely revolutionized the manufacturing world. You can store the required design and feed it to the CNC machine, and it will eventually fabricate the part in mass production with every part having the same level of precision and quality.
The CNC machining aerospace parts, being the most precise and errorfree, enjoy great importance in aircraft and defence industries. These industries require precision in parts to ensure safety and prevent chances of damage. The CNC techniques are the most reliable manufacturing solution that provides the highest degree of precision; therefore, it finds extensive use in aerospace industries.
The aerospace parts' characteristics and importance of CNC machining in aerospace industry sum up why it is considered the most effective manufacturing technique in fabrication.

Meir called the situation “surreal” and noted, “I will actually feel more isolated on Earth…” When they were aboard the ISS in the planet’s orbit, the two NASA employees (and 1 Russian Cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka) were facing a 0% chance of catching the coronavirus that was rapidly spreading on the globe below. The shift change that took place this week brought the three space travelers down to a planet shuttered indoors due to a viral microbe. Chris Cassidy, one of the astronauts boarding the ISS for a half-year shift while Morgan and Meir deboarded, noted the chance of them catching COVID-19 on the ISS, or bringing onboard the space station, is still “almost zero percent,” but did add- “anything is possible.” The reason for the still low odds? NASA policy already mandates astronauts are to be quarantined two weeks before their launch- and this practice was in place well before the coronavirus ravaged humanity.
If COVID-19 was in space, however, it could only be known if the ISS crew members were exhibiting symptoms- and what makes this virus so dangerous is the asymptomatic carriers. The novelty virus was not deliberately brought aboard the ISS for research as some microscopic illnesses have been in the past. Those studies suggested some microbes become drug-resistant and unusually resilient in microgravity environments. Tests on viruses in general are not possible on the ISS currently, and the threat of an infectious contagion sweeping through the space station has long been in the ISS contingency plans. If it happens? The strategy to combat the virus would be the same that we are all practicing now: social distancing.
In other NASA news, climate change studies involving airplanes were delayed due to the coronavirus’ impact on air traffic. And unrelated to COVID-19, a study released this week also found long durations of time spent in space may cause an alarming amount of swelling in the brain.

Save your ticket and visit the Queensland Museum in Brisbane and explore their new exhibition, NASA – A Human Adventure, Coming in March.
This will be the largest exhibit ever exhibited at the Queensland Museum, with more than 250 objects on the display, including spacious and original space and scaled models and replicas.
From space to space costumes, lunar rooms and moon boots, some of the most important moments of the show include several spacecrafts, real-life rocket engines, and multiple full-scale replicas, including NASA's frontal space shuttle, Lunar Rover, Mercury, Gemeni and Apollo Space Craft, and the Lunokhod Lunokhod Lunar Lunar Soviet Robot.
Minister of Arts and Science, Leeanne Enoch, said the Queensland Museum defeated Sydney and Melbourne to be the first Australian museum to host this exhibition of the space travel story.
"NASA – A human adventure will open in March and follows the amazing story of space travel and the history of rocket science and space flight," said Ms Enoch.
"This exhibition is the first to be presented in the recently renovated exhibition space of the Queensland Museum financed by the Palaszczuk government and will be spread on two levels.
"NASA – a human adventure is the largest exhibition hosted by the Queensland Museum, both in terms of size and objects, and coincides with an annual celebration of the 50th anniversary of the moon's landing.
"This interesting exhibition, together with the increase of the museum space, further supports the position of the museum as a main cultural tourism destination, which registered 2.1 million visitors in the last financial year.
"With NASA – a human adventure, the Queensland Museum continues to present the enormous impact of science and technology in our society."
Tourism Development Minister Kate Jones said the exclusive event will drive visitors to Queensland.
"We bring some of the magic of exploring the area to Queensland through this exhibition," said Ms. Jones.
"Queensland's tourism and events have been in partnership with the Queensland Museum to bring the show here because she is driving tourism jobs."
Jim Thompson, executive director of Queensland Museums Network, said that NASA – a human adventure, will be an opportunity for visitors to learn more about some of the most amazing achievements of space technology in the world.
"NASA – a human adventure, celebrates our journey in space with objects from US space programs and the Soviet Union," he said.
"Visitors will be able to marvel at cars that have traveled in space and back as well as large and scaled replicas."
Showing the remarkable achievements of space travel, NASA – A Human Adventure will be launched at the Queensland Museum on March 15, 2019. | aerospace |

For years scientists had to beg for access to the space shuttle to conduct microgravity research, until a well-timed salmonella discovery helped cinch a spot for Spacehab Inc. on all but one of the shuttle's remaining scheduled flights.
"The timing couldn't have been better," Spacehab President Jim Royston said June 16, two days after Space Shuttle Discovery returned from the international space station with test tubes of the salmonella bacteria.
NASA told a Senate panel on Monday that it anticipates losing 3,000 to 4,000 jobs at its launching site once the space shuttles stop flying in two more years, about half the cutback initially reported.
Although as many as 6,000 to 7,000 shuttle jobs will be eliminated at Kennedy Space Center, about 3,000 positions will open up in the new exploration program, said NASA Administrator Michael Griffin. Those jobs will be created to build and fly new spaceships to the International Space Station and, ultimately, to the moon. | aerospace |

It already has a small-scale working process and says that if it and other manufacturers scale up production, it could “mitigate” at least 10 percent of carbon emissions.
A startup specializing in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) signed a $65 million contract with the US Department of Defense to create jet fuel out of thin air. The contract will provide a startup called Air Company funds to advance research and development of a system that can extract CO2 from the air and convert it into fuel-grade alcohols and paraffin.
Air Company already has a process of converting CO2 to jet fuel and published a white paper on the procedure. The company claims to have eliminated a step in the nearly 100-year-old Fischer-Tropsch process. It involves creating, harvesting, and storing CO2 from industrial corn fermentation. It then uses water electrolysis to produce hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen (O2).
The O2 is released into the atmosphere, and the H2 feeds into a reactor with the captured CO2 and a catalyst. The chemical reaction produces ethanol, methanol, water, and paraffin. Distillation separates these components for use in other products, including vodka, perfume, hand sanitizer, and SAF.
The company cannot yet produce at the scale needed to impact global CO2 levels. However, CEO Gregory Constantine says that if Air Company and others can build to scale and all fuel-dependant industries switch to SAF, it could mitigate over 10 percent of carbon emissions.
“These contracts allow [us] to focus on the growth of technology and the development of technology,” Constantine told USA Today. “The core of our technology is really centered around carbon utilization.”
Unfortunately, the company’s lofty goals are still far into the future. While the DoD contract will help Air Company refine its process and build a large-scale production plant, it will take more than one company to produce enough SAF to feed the entire aviation industry.
Another complication is that most regulatory agencies maintain specific limitations on using SAF.
“With current legislation and regulation, there are blend limits that we have to adhere to,” said Constantine. “The fuel we create has the components not to be blended. We are hopeful that over the course of the next several years, those blend limits will increase and that regulations will eventually allow the use of 100 percent SAF.”
Currently, aviation fuel mixtures can only contain less than 50 percent SAF. However, Air Company partnered with the Air Force to test fly a 100-percent SAF, which proved successful. Dutch airline KLM also trialed a pure SAF with its engine manufacturer, concluding it was safe to burn.
Air Company has already contracted to supply three airlines with SAF –Boom, JetBlue, and Virgin Atlantic. Boom agreed to buy five million gallons annually for an unspecified contract term to fuel it’s supersonic Overture jet. JetBlue signed a five-year contract to purchase 25 million gallons, and Virgin promised to pick up 100 million gallons over 10 years. | aerospace |

South African Airways (SAA) is host of this year’s Assembly themed, ‘Enabling African Airline Service Excellence’.
The Assembly is expected to attract around 300 delegates, comprising leading airline industry executives and government policy makers from Southern Africa’s airlines, airports, air navigation services, regulatory bodies as well as aircraft and engine manufacturers, ground handling service providers and associated businesses.
Chris Zweigenthal, AASA’s CEO, explains: “The Africa Union’s initiatives to establish the Single Africa Air Transport Market (SAATM)to complement the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) requires political will and muscle; but it will be irrelevant unless travellers, importers and exporters are provided with an end-to-end air transport system and user experience that is smooth, seamless, stress-free and affordable.”
He adds: “As an industry, we are concerned with closing those gaps between customers’ expectations and their experiences. Hence, the assembly’s theme: “Enabling African Airline Service Excellence”. The gathering will provide the forum for the stakeholders in governments and industry to jointly examine the areas that impact customer experience and opportunities to improve them at all points from start to end, from the keyboard, via the kerbside, at the airports and in our skies.”
Notable professionals expected to speak at the event includes Mandi E.P. Samson, AASA, Chairperson and Acting Managing Director of Air Namibia; Paul Steele, IATA Senior VP, Member and External Relations, and Corporate Secretary; Agness Chaila, Zambia Airports Company Limited (ZACL), Director Airport Services; Erik Venter
Comair Limited, CEO, and many others.
AASA is a non-profit industry body mandated to represent the common interests of its 19 member airlines in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region. It works closely with the African Airlines Association (AFRAA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to lobby and work with governments, regulators and service providers on industry-wide matters. | aerospace |

As you may or may not be aware, the V-22 is that big propeller short wing airplane that the Marines want to have instead of helicopters. Here's a picture or two:
The main problem they had to overcome (jury is out on if they've fixed it, which is part of the reason why you don't see them flying around everywhere) is that the wings and engines have to tilt to get the thing to take off and land. This causes problems which I won't go into here. MY solution, embodied by the R2, is to tilt the whole aircraft so it takes off (with the running start you saw on page 30) and land almost vertically, with the help of the landing legs. My drawing on page 46 is supposed to capture this, but it needs work. I'll get on that while I get to the point of this blog entry.
Jeffrey was perceived as an overly cautious person, and many might think from this that he would never set foot on, let alone build, a plane like the Reindeer Mark 2. In fact, Jeffrey loved to fly. One of his favorite experiences was to get on a small (4-seater) that his cousin Bernie owned and fly to Detroit or somewhere else for a visit. Having been on small aircraft myself, this is not an exercise for the timid, but Jeffrey relished the experience, especially as he had complete confidence in Bernie's abilities as a pilot. Just one more example of the man being completely different than his image. | aerospace |

An astronaut for NASA, she spent six months living and working on the International Space Station as part of the Expedition 6 crew. During the expedition, the crew completed 2,656 orbits of the Earth while traveling more than 70 million miles.
The 44-year-old said spending time away from her family was hard, but there’s nowhere she’d rather be than in space.
“If I can just go, like that, and live there, and be there, and have my family with me, that would be fantastic. It’s really a neat place; it’s an amazing place to live,” she said.
Now in her “post-flight” period, Nyberg is enjoying spending time with her husband, also an astronaut, and their 4-year-old son. Nyberg is also traveling the United States to discuss her experiences in space, stopping in Cleveland on Thursday at NASA’s Glenn Research Center.
The center played a role in Nyberg’s expedition.
Nyberg supported several experiments that were managed by Glenn, including the capillary flow experiment, which examines liquids’ behavior in microgravity environments. The experiment was designed to allow NASA to better design systems to process liquids aboard spacecraft, such as liquid fuel tanks, thermal fluids and water processing for life support, according to NASA.
Other experiments included combustion and flame extinguishing studies. The Glenn Research Center also designed improved harnesses for running on the treadmill in space with help from the Cleveland Clinic.
Nyberg, who is an avid runner, said the new harnesses are more comfortable than those used in the past.
“The design that they came up with was spectacular, and I never wanted to stop running because the harness was hurting me, and in the past that has happened,” she said.
Nyberg said it’s important to keep active in space, especially given the effects from spending an extended amount of time in zero gravity.
Nyberg said her body has adjusted since returning to Earth in November, but she experienced some permanent changes in her vision, as well as muscle soreness in the first few weeks back home.
The trip to the International Space Station was Nyberg’s second spaceflight.
Nyberg served as Mission Specialist on STS -124 Discovery from May 31 to June 14, 2008, becoming the 50th woman in space. It was the 123rd space shuttle flight and the 26th flight to the International Space Station.
The shuttle astronauts conducted three spacewalks to maintain the station and to prime the Japanese Remote Manipulator System, a robotic arm used for work at the orbiting laboratory, during that trip.
Nyberg is also known for some of her more unusual “experiments” in space, such as constructing a 9-inch by 9-inch quilt patch in zero-gravity. She also passed the time by sending videos of herself covered in bubble wrap to her son, who was 3 at the time.
Nyberg told NASA staff that her experiences at the International Space Station were one-of-a-kind.
“It sounds so childish, but it’s really one of the funnest things,” she said. | aerospace |

But not just any old supernova, but one which theoretical models suggest that the exploding white star which had exhausted its nuclear fuel hit a neighbouring star. Yet it is not solely down to Kepler, but also ground based telescopes that aid in understanding. Recently we have seen NASA landing on Mars which captured more of the deadlines, yet it is observation through telescopes of the universe which will be the first steps to gain the necessary understanding before we are in a position to realistically consider sending probes and later humans further afield. So good luck to the retiring Kepler whose fuel is also nearly spent.

Without it, astronauts would encounter health and safety issues due to the long-term effects of weightlessness. Fortunately, there are a few cutting-edge methods used by space exploration teams to mimic the effect of Earth’s gravitational pull. In this blog post, we’ll look at these techniques and explore how SpaceX Starship implements them to create artificial gravity for its occupants. So buckle up – let’s take off on a journey into zero gravity!
How SpaceX Starship Creates Artificial Gravity?
SpaceX’s Starship spacecraft is an ambitious project that aims to send human beings on exploratory trips to faraway places in the universe. As such, one of the main challenges for SpaceX has been creating a way for its passengers to experience artificial gravity similar to Earth’s gravity during long-term spaceflight.
Introducing Spacex Starship And Its Revolutionary Technology
- Centrifugal force – The most common method used to create artificial gravity in SpaceX Starship is centrifugal force. As the spacecraft rotates along its axis, it creates a centripetal (outward) acceleration which pushes objects away from the center of rotation and simulates gravity. Rollercoaster rides also employ this technique to create a weightless feeling.
- Linear acceleration – SpaceX Starship also uses linear acceleration, which involves increasing the speed of the spacecraft gradually to create a force that acts as gravity. This technique is employed when astronauts need to move toward a destination quickly, such as when they travel back from deep space missions or are evading an asteroid field.
- Electromagnetic fields – Lastly, SpaceX Starship uses advanced magnetic technology to generate artificial gravity. This method involves creating a powerful electromagnetic field that exerts a force on the spacecraft’s occupants and simulates gravity. This approach is beneficial when astronauts perform experiments in zero gravity or need a temporary source of artificial gravity.
What Is Artificial Gravity, And How Does It Work On A Starship
- Centrifugal force: In a centrifuge, astronauts are placed in a large metal capsule which is then spun at high speeds. This creates an outward ‘centrifugal force’ that mimics the effect of gravity on earth and allows astronauts to stand or walk as if they were in Earth’s atmosphere. SpaceX Starship implements this technique by spinning the outer hull of the spacecraft to create artificial gravity. This is known as ‘spin gravity.’
- Thrusters: Another technique used by SpaceX Starship is to employ a network of thrusters to accelerate or decelerate the spacecraft, creating a force that pushes astronauts down onto their feet – essentially creating an artificial gravitational pull. The thrusters can be programmed to fire at specific intervals, allowing astronauts to experience short bursts of weightlessness before being pushed back to the ground by another ‘gravitational’ force.
- Artificial gravity plates: The third method used by SpaceX Starship is artificial gravity plates, which provide a flat surface that astronauts can stand on while in zero-gravity conditions. This system works by slowly increasing and decreasing the force of gravity on the plate, providing astronauts with a consistent, comfortable weightless experience.
How Spacex Starship Uses Magnetic Fields To Create Artificial Gravity
The Centrifugal Method:
This is one of the most commonly employed techniques for creating artificial gravity on spacecraft. It relies on spinning a ship in circles at a constant rate to create an outward force, which simulates gravity. The higher the speed and rotation of the ship, the stronger this force will be, allowing astronauts to walk around as if they were on Earth.
The Electromagnetic Method:
This method is slightly more complex and involves using magnetic fields to generate a force replicating gravity. By positioning a series of powerful magnets at different angles around the spacecraft, astronauts can experience an artificial pull outward from the center of the ship just like they would on the surface of the Earth.
The Gravitational Wave Method:
This is a method that has only been explored by a few space exploration teams as an alternative to artificial gravity and requires the use of powerful gravitational waves, which can be generated from pulsars or other sources. These waves interact with particles in the ship’s hull and create an outward force that can be used to simulate gravity.
Benefits Of Artificial Gravity For Interstellar Travel
- Improved muscular and bone health: Astronauts in zero gravity experience muscle and bone deterioration over long periods. Artificial gravity helps to combat these effects by simulating regular gravitational forces, allowing the body to remain in its natural state.
- Reduced fatigue: Prolonged weightlessness can cause astronauts to become fatigued due to the lack of stimulation their bodies are used to. Artificial gravity helps to keep them alert and energized, enabling more extended and more productive space missions.
- Improved comfort: Being in zero gravity for extended periods can be uncomfortable and even nausea-inducing as the body adapts to a new environment. Artificial gravity creates an environment much more similar to what we experience on earth, making it easier for astronauts to stay comfortable.
- Reduced risk of damage: Space exploration can be a dangerous endeavor, and artificial gravity helps to reduce the risks associated with space travel. Without it, astronauts would have to put up with more significant impacts and higher velocity changes that could cause serious injury.
The Future Of Space Exploration With SpaceX Starship’s Technology
1. Centrifugal force:
This is a method currently employed by SpaceX Starship to generate artificial gravity. By spinning the spacecraft at high speeds, occupants inside will experience an outward-pushing force due to centripetal acceleration – like when riding a Roller Coaster or a similar ride on Earth.
2. Dynamic counterweight:
A dynamic counterweight system is one way to create artificial gravity with minimal energy expenditure. This involves attaching two weighted arms perpendicular to each other and rotating them around a central axis in opposite directions. The spinning arms create varying levels of gravitational pull as they move, providing passengers with a sense of weightlessness while also simulating gravity’s effects on their bodies.
3. Magnetic Levitation (MAGLEV):
This cutting-edge technology involves a series of magnets and superconductors that generate different magnetic fields around the spacecraft’s interior. By controlling and manipulating these fields, SpaceX Starship can create different levels of artificial gravity for its passengers.
4. Gravity Harness:
Finally, this is another method SpaceX Starship uses to produce artificial gravity. A gravity harness is a device worn by astronauts that uses an adjustable counterweight to simulate gravity’s effects on their bodies while in space. The system applies pressure against an astronaut’s body when they move away from Earth’s center of mass – akin to how objects are pulled towards the ground when dropped on Earth.
Possible Challenges Associated With Creating And Sustaining Artificial Gravity
- Creating and Maintaining Rotation – To create artificial gravity, the spacecraft must rotate. This means that some propulsion must be used to accelerate and maintain rotation speed, which can be costly in fuel.
- Centrifugal Forces – The acceleration involved in creating a rotating frame generates substantial centrifugal forces. If these forces are too strong, they can lead to adverse effects on the crew’s health and well-being, such as nausea and dizziness.
- Fuel Cost – As previously mentioned, any propulsion used to accelerate and maintain rotation speed can be costly in fuel.
- Unbalanced Forces – An unstable artificial gravity environment can cause discomfort and pressure on the body, especially during long-term spaceflight.
So there you have it – the innovative ways SpaceX Starship creates artificial gravity to make extended space travel more comfortable and safe. By utilizing these cutting-edge technologies, astronauts can explore the universe with fewer worries about their health and safety. So get ready to blast off into a world of zero-gravity wonders!
How does SpaceX Starship create artificial gravity?
SpaceX Starship creates artificial gravity through centrifugal force, dynamic counterweight systems, magnetic levitation, and gravity harnesses. By controlling and manipulating these various elements, astronauts can experience the effects of gravity while in space.

Commander Chris Cassidy is a 1993 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy; he received a degree in Mathematics and went on to become a Navy SEAL. He was the honor graduate of Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Class 192. He was also awarded the Bronze Star with combat ‘V’ and Presidential Unit Citation for leading a nine-day operation at the Zharwar Kili cave complex – a national priority objective directly on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. In addition, he was awarded a second Bronze Star for combat leadership service in Afghanistan in 2004 and is a recipient of the NASA Exceptional Achievement Medal.
Commander Cassidy spent ten years as a member of the U.S. Navy SEALs. His specialized tactics include long-range special reconnaissance (vehicular and foot patrols), direct action building assaults, noncompliant ship-boardings, desert reconnaissance patrols, combat diving, underwater explosives, and a variety of air operations to include parachuting, fast roping, and rappelling. He made four six-month deployments: two to Afghanistan, and two to the Mediterranean. Cassidy served as Executive Officer and Operations Officer of Special Boat Team Twenty in Norfolk, Virginia, and SEAL Platoon Commander at SEAL Team THREE in Coronado, California. He deployed to the Afghanistan region two weeks after 9/11/01, served as Ground Assault Force Commander for international and U.S.-only combat missions in Afghanistan, and led two months of noncompliant ship-boardings in the Northern Arabian Gulf. He was SEAL Delivery Vehicle Platoon Commander at SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team TWO in Norfolk, VA. He also served as Dry Deck Shelter Platoon Commander at SEAL Delivery Team TWO in Norfolk, VA.
Cassidy was selected by NASA in May 2004. Completion of this initial training qualified him for various technical assignments within the Astronaut Office and future flight assignment as a mission specialist. From 2006 to 2008, he served as Capsule Commander (CAPCOM) in Mission Control. During his NASA career, Cassidy completed six spacewalks, totaling 31 hours, 14 minutes and accumulated 182 days in space. His space flight experience includes STS-127, International Space Station Assembly Mission 2J/A, onboard the shuttle Endeavor. The crew completed the construction of the KIBO Japanese Experiment Module, installed scientific experiments on its Exposed Facility and delivered critical spare parts and replacement batteries to the orbital complex, in addition to transferring 24,638 pounds of hardware and 1,225 pounds of water to the station.
Cassidy’s most recent mission was Expedition 35/36 (March 28 to September 11, 2013). Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Pavel Vinogradov and Alexander Misurkin launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the International Space Station. Cassidy, Vinogradov and Misurkin were welcomed to the space station by Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency, Tom Marshburn of NASA and Roman Romanenko of Roscosmos. The crew members saw the arrival of the European ATV-4 cargo spacecraft, the Japanese HTV-4 cargo spacecraft and two Russian Progress resupply spacecraft. The trio also worked on hundreds of research experiments and science investigations that will have benefits for future human spaceflight and life on Earth. Cassidy conducted three spacewalks during his 166 days aboard the station. During the expedition, the crew completed 2,656 orbits of the Earth and traveled more than 70 million miles. | aerospace |

The Javelin was introduced to the RAF in 1956 as a subsonic all weather and night interceptor aircraft, designed to quickly take off and intercept Russian aircraft before they could release bombs over the UK. The aircraft used twin engines and had a delta wing design that made it easy to fly, even on one engine.
In the end the type did not see combat with the Russians, but was used in the Indonesia-Malaysian confrontation between 1963 and 1966 when they flew from Singapore on combat patrols over the Malaysian jungle. 435 of the aircraft were built and they remained in service until 1968 when they were retired as more advanced variants of the Lightning became available. | aerospace |

Attracting and Assessing High-quality Talent Fairly Across the Region
A rapid and planned expansion meant an effective and efficient recruitment program was essential. The senior manager was responsible for attracting and hiring all the staff, from flight crew and engineering maintenance staff to cabin crew and all commercial and support services personnel.
"The challenge for us was not only to identify high-quality talent but also to find aviation specialists. We knew we must look beyond our region. We knew we needed to have a far-reaching and robust recruiting process. However, it must be exciting and attract candidates, helping us become the employer of choice."
Senior manager for recruitment
Traditionally, job vacancies were posted on job boards and websites. CVs were received from applicants and managed by the recruiting team via spreadsheets. This was a laborious, non-standardized and sometimes subjective process that could lead to talent being overlooked.

dead2023-12-02 04:41:52【year】9People have been watching
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will embark on its second attempt to carry out a soft touchdown of a robotic lander on the surface of the moon on Friday with the launch of the Chandrayaan 3spacecraft on board the LVM3 rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota.
If the soft-landing succeeds, India will become the fourth country in the world to have achieved this.
Ahead of the launch, scheduled for 14.35 pm Friday from the second launch pad at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh, the countdown for the launch began Thursday afternoon with the mission authorisation board clearing the launch.
Announcing this, ISRO said that the mission readiness review had been completed and the “board has authorised the launch”.
The first part of the Chandrayaan 3 mission, spread over nearly 40 days with a possible moon rendezvous scheduled for August 23, will, on Friday, involve the launching of ISRO’s heavy lift LVM3 rocket into space with the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft onboard to an altitude of 179.192 km in a flight spanning 969.42 second (over 16 minutes).Also read | How to watch ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3 launch live online
During this period, the LVM3 rocket will carry its 3895-kg payload using three different rocket power stages with a maximum thrust of 10.242 km/sec (over 36000 km/hr) being provided by the indigenous cryogenic C-25 engine fired on the rocket in the final phase — just ahead of the separation of the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft from the rocket.
The rocket will be fired by a pair of solid fuel booster engines at the beginning for lift- off and for a duration of 108 seconds followed by a liquid fuel stage for around 90 seconds before the cryogenic stage kicks in after 307 seconds of flight and fires for over 10 minutes.AdvertisementChandrayaan-3, the succeeding mission to Chandrayaan-2, is set to launch on Friday, July 14, 2023 at 2:35 PM.
“If we have to land on the first (earth) day of sunshine on the moon (that is the first of the 15 earth days of sun on the moon) then we will have a life of at least 15 days for the mission. This is the date on which we are going to land and if everything goes well the date would be August 23 and it could be August 24 also. It cannot be August 25 or 26. Then what we will do is we will not land and we will wait for a month when there is going to be 15 days of sun again then the date could be September 20 or later,” ISRO chairman S Somanath said on July 7 at a press conference in Bengaluru.Read | ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3: From launch to landing, a complete guide Explained
Learning from past attempts
There are learnings, ISRO said, from the last failed mission in 2019. The lander’s design has been finetuned to increase the speed threshold for landing and its energy-absorbing capability. If all goes well, the landing date has been worked out to be August 23 or 24.
The launch phase of the Chandrayaan 3 mission is all about the LVM3 rocket which has so far flown six consecutive missions. The LVM3 rocket is a variation of the GSLV Mk III rocket which has a capacity of carrying upto 4000 kg into a geo transfer orbit (GTO) in space.
The GSLV Mk III had its first successful flight in December 2014 when it successfully launched the Chandrayaan 2 mission on July 22, 2019.Advertisement
The mission, however, failed in its lunar phase when its Vikram lander crashed into the surface of the moon following anomalies in the braking system in the lander as it attempted a soft landing.
The 2019 mission was originally scheduled for launch on July 15 but the launch was aborted due to technical anomalies detected at the final hours. The problems were fixed and the mission was launched a week later.The 2019 mission was originally scheduled for launch on July 15 but the launch was aborted due to technical anomalies detected at the final hours.
A successful launch of the Chandrayaan 3 into an earth-centric orbit by the LVM3 on Friday will be followed by five orbit-raising measures — spread over three weeks — where the spacecraft is brought closer to the orbit of the moon and later transferred into the moon’s orbit (by firing of engines on a new propulsion module of the spacecraft).
These steps to transfer the Chandrayaan 3 spacecraft into the orbit of the moon before the propulsion module takes the lander to a final 100-km orbit of the moon are meant to conserve fuel and use a principle called the Oberth effect.
The Chandrayaan 3 mission does not have an orbiter module like the Chandrayaan 2 module and contains only the lander and a rover within the lander. The orbiter from Chandrayaan 2 which is still alive in space will provide back communication connectivity for Chandrayaan 3.Advertisement
“Due to the precise launch and orbital manoeuvres, the mission life of the Orbiter is increased to seven years. The data received from the Orbiter is being provided continuously to the scientific community,” ISRO had stated following the failure of the Chandrayaan 2 mission on September 7, 2019.
The Chandrayaan 3 mission has incorporated several technical learnings from the failed 2019 mission and has built redundancies for calculating and adjusting the lander’s approach speed to the surface of the moon and braking system to facilitate a soft landing.Advertisement
The lander in the Chandrayaan 2 spacecraft had to drop its speed — through automated systems — from over 6000 km/hr to around 7.2 km/hr for a successful soft landing but went out of control during a fine braking phase and crashed.Most Read 1 Gadar 2 box office collection day 4: Sunny Deol film records biggest Monday collections of all time, nets a total of Rs 173 cr 2 Bigg Boss OTT 2 Finale Live Updates: Elvish Yadav wins Salman Khan’s show, Abhishek Malhan shares message from hospital 3 Happy Independence Day 2023: Wishes Images, Whatsapp Messages, Status, Quotes, and Photos 4 OMG 2 box office collection day 4: Pankaj Tripathi-Akshay Kumar film delivers better Monday than opening Friday, earns Rs 55.1 cr 5 Jailer box office collection Day 5: Rajinikanth film set to cross Rs 350-crore mark worldwide on Independence Day
“The first thing was to get rid of the problems. We have reviewed it and strengthened various aspects. The design of Chandrayaan 2 was for a landing at a speed of 2m/sec (7.2 km/hr) with a small margin of increase but we have now increased the speed threshold for landing. We have created energy absorbing capability,” the ISRO chairman said last week.Advertisement

Well, explain to a person who did not teach physics well at school, and he completely forgot what he knew - if we lift a load onto a station, then, roughly speaking, we pull this station off the orbit by a rope. So, or not? A permanent orbit correction will be needed and a significant part of the cargo will be fuel and oxidizer. And the atmosphere? Well, the station in geocentric orbit, relative to the Earth and the atmosphere as a whole, is stationary, the cable with cosmic velocities will not cut the air, but there is also quite strong wind. And the cable, albeit a superfine one, has some kind of sail, too. For some reason it seems to me that in terrestrial conditions this elevator will not work very well. If on some asteroid, then - yes, most likely an irreplaceable thing.

Title: Sud Ouest SO1221 Djinn
The SO1221 Djinn was a small two-seat light turbine helicopter notable for its unusual propulsion system. The turbine engine was used to produce compressed air which was fed to outlets at the ends of each blade. This method of propulsion had the benefit of not requiring an anti-torque system such as a tail-rotor. The aircraft first flew in 1953 and was produced until the early 1960’s by which time 178 had been built. The main operator was the French military, but three examples were evaluated by the US Army as the YHO-1. (This is probably the reason manuals were produced in English.)
This title contains two manuals for the SO1221, a descriptive and operation manual and a technical manual which includes flight manual data, plus a brochure. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages. | aerospace |
