We cannot sail on Darwin’s Beagle, and one wonders if exploration has truly ended. And then you have Cassini and Huygens, an international cooperative space effort.
In truth, I hadn’t been following the mission. I’m not an avid space buff and I must admit a bit of a lukewarm attitude towards . On the one hand, they’ve had some spectacular failures in the Challenger and Columbia disasters. On the other, they’ve been so successful with the Space Shuttle program that it’s take off and landing shcedule is as uninteresting as any airliner’s.
The Mars Rover mission was interesting but it approached the level of a Battlebots program. The enthusiasm the scientists had for the analysis – which is ongoing – is honroable and yet is not as inspirational as the rings of Saturn. There is something all together awesome about the successes of the Cassini program.
Hopefully it will be the necessary deterrent to the politically-inspired manned mission to Mars direction. | aerospace |

These aircraft provide an aero-medical evacuation arid troop transport capability to the ISF and the United Nations.
Black Hawks fly out of Dili, Photo gallery, Department of Defence website, Operation Astute, 12 February 2009.
“There are three Black Hawk helicopters deployed to East Timor as part of Operation ASTUTE. The East Timor Aviation Group comprises of about 70 personnel including technical support staff, logistic staff, headquarters and operations staff and an emergency response cell. The Aviation Group provides a logistic and airmobile response capability for the operation.”
“An Australian Army Black Hawk helicopter sustained damage to its tail shaft during the conduct of a night flying training mission in East Timor on Monday, 9 Feb 2009. No one was injured as a result of the incident but the tail shaft was badly damaged. The helicopter was landing at its International Stabilisation Force (ISF) base at Dili Airport when the incident occurred. The aircraft was operating in good weather conditions at the time of the incident. The reason for the heavy landing is not yet known but is currently under investigation.”
Commentary and analysis
Military exercises in East Timor under fire, Phillip Dorling, Canberra Times, 9 July 2008.
“The Australian Defence Force has begun a series of controversial exercises in East Timor involving Black Hawk helicopters firing live machine-gun rounds. Advertisements warning of the exercises appeared in East Timorese newspapers last week. Australian Black Hawk and New Zealand Iroquois helicopters attached to the International Stabilisation Force in East Timor are training in the Fatin Tiru firing area off the north coast. East Timorese non-government organisations expressed concern yesterday about the exercises.” | aerospace |

The rocket ascended into a cloudless sky, reaching a max velocity of about 2,200 MPH, and delivered its capsule to the edge of space, where its occupant, “Mannquin Skywalker,” will have had a lovely view of the Earth.
New Shepard isn’t meant to deliver things into orbit, of course; Blue Origin has a different purpose and technology from the likes of SpaceX, focusing on giving people a quick, safe lift into space followed by a period of weightlessness and a pleasant descent.
That’s what was demonstrated today, and you can watch the whole thing live in the video below — the pre-launch coverage starts about half an hour in, and liftoff is at the 1h10m mark.

The Mid America Air Museum is refurbishing one of its many display planes, the Chance Vought F-8H Crusader.
The business in charge of refurbishing the F-8H is Randy’s Professional Painting, based out of Turpin, Okla. Workers are sandblasting, painting and replacing the decals on the plane.
The Crusader is a carrier-based fighter used by the U.S. Marine Corps. It was produced between the late 1950s through the ’60s, and it was in continuous service for 12 years, according to information obtained in a flyer at the museum.
“It was the first carrier-based aircraft to break Mach 1 in level flight and boasted a top speed of over 1,000 mph,” the flyer noted. “John Glenn set numerous distance records in an F-8; one such record-setting flight went directly over Liberal.”
The maximum speed of the Crusader is 1,141 mph; cruising speed, 560 mph; range, 1,100 miles; and ceiling height, 58,000 feet.
The plane is on loan from the Marine Corps.

That day may be near. Here, Collins reveals the emerging challenges posed by cyberspace to the traditional culture of the Air Force. The U.S. Air Force added cyberspace to its warfighting mission in December 2005, and the 8th Air Force was assigned operational responsibility for cyberspace in November 2006. These events clearly indicate that the nexus of activities collectively kwn as command, control, communications, computer systems, and intelligence, which are the nervous system of the military, had achieved critical mass. Such activities are longer merely important to airpower, but form the basis for independent operations in cyberspace. Although the techlogical implications of this shift in Air Force missions is apparent, the ultimate impact on the officer corps is t. While fighter pilots have traditionally represented the image of the Air Force, today more and more officers work at remote consoles operating unmanned aerial vehicles that deliver precision-guided munitions.
BRIAN J. COLLINS, USAF, has been teaching military strategy and operations at the National War College since 2001.

Not that much of a well known destination for aircraft enthusiasts as many of the other fast jet bases around Japan Hamamatsu hosts the T-4 training wings as well as the Airborne Warning & Control squadron equipped with 4 Boeing E-767.
Where? Hamamatsu, Japan
Photography-wise the decision was quickly taken to spend the day outside for some nice photos. The spot in question was well known from my last stay there in 2005 and I lined my ladder up with many more Japanese photographers.
Unfortunately heavy showers spoiled some of the displays, including the one of the F-2 from Gifu.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hamamatsu und the 50th anniversary of the Air Rescue Wing as well as to commemorate the Earthquake disaster relief efforts a S-60 helicopter and a U-125 were adorned with special colours. The conditions were not the best to accentuate the scheme on the dark blue helicopter, but it presented very well its both sides of the scheme.
Contrary to this the weather was better for the E-767 and how often do you to see a 767 flight display? The aircraft was very well presented during different fly-bys and a touch&go.
By coincidence another airshow took place the same day at Komaki. My Japanese friend that I would be able to get there driving 'German style' and to also see the KC-767 tanker aircraft of the JASDF on the very same day.
After some more kilometres on the road and many more Yen for the highway toll I was at Komaki.

The Thunder in the Valley Air Show in Waterloo is expected to draw 50,000 spectators, while Omaha/Council Bluffs hosts its Defenders of Freedom Open House and Air Show at Offutt Air Force Base.
Lieutenant Colonel Donovan Routsis is the 55th Wing Group Commander at Offutt and says they have an entertaining lineup, starting with parachutists. “The Army Golden Knights kick off our air show and then we’ll have an F-15-E Strike Eagle demonstration team,” Routsis says. “We’ll also have a Russian attack helicopter performing for the first time ever at a U.S. air show.
This will also be the first time we will have a B-2 (stealth bomber) on display here at Offutt.” In addition, the base has scheduled more than 20 aerial performers and more than 30 static displays. Flying can be a hazardous business and he notes, just last weekend, there were three deadly crashes at air shows nationwide. “We’re very saddened by the tragic accidents that happened last weekend and we express our condolences to those families and friends of those involved,” Routsis says.
“We’ve heard nothing from the FAA and our operations group stays in very close contact with the FAA in regards to accidents and our open house and air show are going to take place as scheduled.” Both airshows in Waterloo and Omaha are planned for Saturday and Sunday. | aerospace |

But subsequent yr additionally guarantees main new developments.
Here is a take a look at a few of the largest area missions anticipated to launch in 2022.
NASA’s Space Launch System
The American Space Agency NASA is planning to launch the primary check of its Space Launch System, or SLS, in March. NASA has called SLS “the world’s most powerful rocket.” It is predicted to start a brand new era of human area exploration.
SLS is the primary rocket designed to hold each astronauts and provides in a single mission to the moon. It is scheduled to launch Americans again to the moon as a part of NASA’s Artemis program. Artemis goals to land the primary lady and first individual of coloration on the moon.

NASA’s purpose for touchdown on the moon’s floor was to take action by 2024. But NASA Administrator Bill Nelson instructed reporters in November the goal date is now 2025 on the soonest. It could be America’s first go to to the moon since NASA’s Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
The SLS flight in March won’t embrace astronauts. During the check mission, NASA’s Orion spacecraft will launch from the SLS rocket and journey 450,600 kilometers from Earth. NASA says that is farther than any spacecraft constructed for people has ever traveled. The mission is predicted to final 4 to 6 weeks.
International moon missions
Several nations will purpose to ship spacecraft to the moon in 2022.
India will search to land a robotic explorer, or rover, on the moon’s floor, India Today reports. The Chandrayaan-3 mission follows an try in 2020 that ended with the nation’s lander and rover crash touchdown on the moon. India has stated its new rover will search to verify the presence of water in the type of lunar ice.
The Japanese Space Agency plans to launch its Smart Lander for Investigating the Moon, or SLIM, in April 2022. The company says the mission is designed to show lunar touchdown strategies involving a small exploration automobile.

Japanese area exploration firm iSpace introduced final April that it might transport a rover belonging to the United Arab Emirates to the moon in 2022. Japan’s iSpace will present the lander to hold the rover. The lander will launch from a Falcon 9 rocket constructed by American firm SpaceX.
Russia is planning to launch a lunar lander in July, Russia’s TASS information company reported. The Luna 25 mission goals to land an explorer on the south polar space of the moon. The spacecraft will study supplies on the lunar floor, in addition to in the outermost a part of the moon’s environment.
In November, SpaceX chief Elon Musk stated his firm would try in 2022 to launch its reusable spacecraft, Starship, into orbit. It would be the first orbital check flight for the spacecraft. Musk stated SpaceX will perform a number of check flights earlier than starting to launch satellites and different missions on Starship rockets in 2023.

NASA has an settlement with SpaceX to make use of Starship for transporting astronauts to the moon. Musk has stated he additionally plans to make use of the rockets to land individuals on Mars.
A joint Russian-European mission to ship a rover to Mars is predicted to launch between August and October 2022. The ExoMars mission will put the rover, known as Rosalind Franklin, on the floor of Mars to seek for indicators of doable previous life. It was set to launch in 2020, however received delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A NASA mission known as Psyche is expected to launch in August. The Psyche spacecraft will journey three-and-a-half years to a steel asteroid orbiting the solar between Mars and Jupiter. Psyche’s science devices will collect data on the asteroid. Scientists imagine it may have separated throughout violent crashes throughout the photo voltaic system’s formation.
And, NASA’s DART spacecraft is predicted to reach the asteroid system Didymos between September 26 and October 1. The spacecraft will try to strike a non-threatening asteroid as a check to see how the crash impacts the area object’s path.

Flew Premium Economy
I have travelled with Air Asia many times and normally i am quite pleased with the service. However, i booked my parents a Premium Flex flight from Darwin to Denpasar for Sunday September 11, 2016 with consideration of my mum is in wheelchair and i was hoping with choosing premium flex it will make their trip much more easier.
Unfortunately they had unpleasant experience. This has been very very dissapointing for me, and I really want to know what your respond is.
As mentioned in premium flex benefit is to have express baggage/ priority baggage collection at check out, this did not happen. And my elderly parents both in the 70s was left standing and waiting to collect their own luggage with no assistant from any Airasia staff.
I paid an extra $36 per fare for this service and it did not happen. I further attempted to book red carpet so they will have assistant to and off the plane but the Airasia website was not clear and i cannot see the function.
Further to this i am very dissatisfied with the service as I paid for the service that I did not receive.
Due to this i will probably never fly with airasia again and i will not recommend premium flex to anyone booking a flight!!
from Australia - August 28, 2016
Very friendly crew, comfortable seats, decent service for a budget carrier, good food selection. I always fly with a book so the lack of screen entertainment is not an issue for me.
from Malaysia - April 7, 2016
Dear Air Asia,
Here, I would like to post a complain on how terrible your service was.
We bought some promotional tickets to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Surabaya (return) from last year. During that period, we have got at least 4 emails from Air Asia telling us that our flight were re-scheduled, both for KL-SUB and SUB-KL.
To make things worse, on the day when we were supposed to fly from KL-SUB, the flight was again rescheduled from 19:20 to 21:25 without further notice. It’s terribly troublesome as some of us have reached the airport with schedule to accommodate the flight on 19:20. This caused us to wait hours before we were able to fly. Its, honestly, a waste of time and energy. We could have used our time to do something more useful instead of waiting in the airport.
Not enough to make our flight miserable, again Air Asia sent us emails telling that our flight number has changed from QZ to XT. Yes, the time was the same, but the fact that the flight number was changed was quite confusing to us at first since we kept on updating our flight details in our own note that we have prepared quite a long time to plan for this trip.
from Australia - January 6, 2016
I purchased a flight for 3 passengers from Denpasar to Perth back in June/July 2015. But due to the volcanic ash my flight to Denpasar a week earlier was cancelled and I was unable to get to Denpasar for my Holiday. I called Air Asia Indonesia a week before my flight and told them of the situation and informed them I would not be able to take the flight from Denpasar to Perth and I requested a refund. They asked me to lodge a reimbursement request online. A week later the refused to refund my money. My girl friend caught the flight we were booked on and Air Asia resold my seats to other passengers and still refused to repay me. I’m disappointed with Air Asia Indonesia.
EDITORS COMMENT: That’s pretty poor of them… you’re definitely entitled to get your taxes reimbursed so follow that up – it wont be much but it’s something.
from Spain - December 1, 2015
Not worth the risk.
Flew KLIA to Bali , return. Both flights with a 2h delay , on the 2nd one almost lost my long haul flight.
My advice, dont fly with this company. | aerospace |

The regulator had grounded the area tourism firm’s operations earlier this month, after the FAA discovered that the corporate’s spacecraft went off target in the course of the mission on July 11.
“The investigation discovered the Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo automobile deviated from its assigned airspace on its descent from area,” the FAA stated in a press release, including that “Virgin Galactic failed to speak the deviation” as required.
Virgin Galactic has made “required adjustments” to its communications throughout spaceflight operations, the FAA famous. The corporate stated that it up to date its calculations “to bro aden the protected airspace” throughout future missions, in addition to taken “extra steps” to the FAA receives “real-time mission notifications.”
Shares of Virgin Galactic jumped as a lot as 10% in after-hours buying and selling from its shut of $22.56.
“We recognize the FAA’s thorough assessment of this inquiry. Our take a look at flight program is particularly designed to repeatedly enhance our processes and procedures. The updates to our airspace and real-time mission notification protocols will strengthen our preparations as we transfer nearer to the industrial launch of our spaceflight expertise,” Virgin Galactic CEO Michael Colglazier stated in a press launch.
Branson’s spaceflight was not as flawless because it appeared to viewers of Virgin Galactic’s dwell broadcast. Throughout the ascent, whereas spacecraft VSS Unity’s rocket engine was firing, a warning mild got here on as a result of automobile going off trajectory.
The New Yorker first reported the difficulty that arose throughout Branson’s journey to area. The report emphasised issues with Virgin Galactic’s expertise and security tradition, highlighted by the current departure of flight take a look at director Mark “Forger” Stucky — who reportedly was fired over a video name following Branson’s spaceflight. The New Yorker pressured that Stucky repeatedly issued warnings internally at Virgin Galactic in regards to the security of the corporate’s flight assessments.
Virgin Galactic was focusing on late September to early October for its subsequent spaceflight take a look at, known as Unity 23 and carrying six individuals on board — two pilots and 4 passengers – on a mission for the Italian Air Power. The corporate has not but launched a launch date for Unity 23, saying this month that the earliest the spaceflight would occur is mid-October given the FAA investigation. | aerospace |

It has many different planes to fly and many missions to complete. The graphics are very good, as are the controls.
What’s more, it can be played online with other people, so if you enjoy competing against others, then this is something else that sets it apart from the crowd. Although many other flight simulators are available, this one provides users with all the features they need in a user-friendly package.
The entire world to explore in VFR flight
Flight Simulator Xbox offers you the chance to explore the world in a VFR flight. With a variety of aircraft and locations from around the globe, you can fly wherever your heart desires!
With this simulation, there’s no need to worry about weather conditions or having enough fuel to land at your destination.
You’ve got unlimited fuel and an airport nearby – so go ahead and take off! Once in the air, enjoy seeing everything from above and below: mountains, cities, and beaches, as well as detailed terrain features such as lakes, rivers, and deserts.
Experience for all simmers is identical on one Xbox
If you play flight simulators, you will agree that it is not only fun but also educational. It is one of the best ways to learn how to fly an aircraft and become a better pilot. When playing these games, different types of controllers can be used for different purposes.
One type moves the plane up and down, while another makes it turn left or right. There are also controllers that allow you to move forward or backward as well as make your plane go faster or slower, depending on how much pressure you apply on them when playing these games.
Gives Controls And Take To The Skies
Flight Simulator Xbox is a great way to practice real flying. The controls are easy to understand, and the game itself is easy to play. It’s also fun! There are so many different scenarios in which you can play, from taking off on an empty runway to landing at night with no lights or instruments (but plenty of excitement).
Practice Your Landings
It’s true that landing is a skill that can be practised and learned. There are plenty of ways to do this, but the first step is to practice landing in different conditions.
Practice landing at different airports across the world (or even just around your neighborhood). Try landing during different types of weather, such as rain or snow.
Each type of plane has its own characteristics when it comes to how they behave while taking off and landing, so you need to learn those if you want to become a truly skilled pilot.
Practicing these things over time, it’ll help improve your overall skill level as a pilot, which will help make flying feel more realistic when playing flight simulators online!
The Flight Simulator Xbox is a great way to experience the world in a brand new way. Whether you are an experienced pilot or just starting out, there is something for everyone. They control and take to the skies with no worries about crashing into anything because there is no one around! | aerospace |

The Air Force awarded a $26.1 million contract to ATK Mission Research of Santa Barbara, Calif., Wednesday to produce the Space Threat Assessment Testbed (STAT) ground test capability at the Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC), Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn.
"We are very excited to have awarded this contract to develop a much-needed space test capability," said AEDC Commander Col. Art Huber. "STAT will create a realistic space environment to perform developmental and early operational testing of space hardware for the Department of Defense, the National Reconnaissance Office and other agencies against man-made threats and naturally occurring environmental phenomena.
STAT will simulate the environmental conditions existing at various orbits and self-induced effects. STAT will also emulate man-made threats to perform system test and evaluation."
STAT will also lay the foundation for near real-time connectivity to a satellite operations center, said STAT Technical Director Lance Baxter.
"STAT will allow us to do integrated system testing, training, tactics, techniques, and procedures development," Baxter said. "It is a significant step towards the development of an important new national capability."
ATK's Utah facility will coordinate and execute the design, fabrication, installation and testing of the STAT system.
ATK's Tullahoma, Tenn., office will handle the onsite assembly, testing and checkout.
STAT will reside in AEDC's Space Systems Effects Facility, formerly known as DECADE, a test facility designed for nuclear weapons effects testing. Test systems within this facility were dismantled earlier this year.
STAT is slated to be completed and functional in 54 months. | aerospace |

Huntsville company developing cheaper ways to launch rockets
Sending satellites into space doesn’t have to break the bank, at least eventually. That’s the message from Chris Barker, the president of Earth to Sky.
Kerosene and liquid oxygen are some of the components used to fire the engine, giving a rocket enough power and speed to enter orbit.
The ingredients are affordable, and a lot cheaper than what other companies are trying to use, which means it will be cheaper to launch a satellite into space if everything works and goes according to plan.
“Our particular rocket engine here will generate up to 16,000 pounds of force, which in equivalent terms is about 18,000 horse power,” said Barker.
State Sen. Steve Livingston says smaller engines like this and using smaller rockets is great news, but he wants these rockets to get launched into space without having to cross state lines.
"They have a great idea of being able to use an offshore launch platform in South Alabama off of Mobile Bay perhaps using one of the oil rigs down there that's been retired for a mission control situation and launching off of barge so there's no damage to the rig it sounds like a great opportunity for Alabama," said Livingston. | aerospace |

With the Falcon Heavy rocket’s capabilities, the space plane is expected to reach a higher orbit than ever before. The launch comes after multiple false starts and delays caused by poor weather conditions and technical issues.
Interestingly, just two weeks prior to this launch, China also launched its own robot space plane called Shenlong. However, the Pentagon has provided limited information about the X-37B mission, which is being conducted by the Space Force. The X-37B, built by Boeing and approximately the size of a small bus, is primarily designed for technology experiments and payloads.
This particular mission is significant as it marks the first time the X-37B has been launched aboard SpaceX’s more powerful Falcon Heavy rocket. It is speculated that the space plane may be headed for a highly elliptical orbit around Earth or even towards the moon. The mission aims to test new orbital regimes and experiment with space domain awareness technologies.
In addition to its primary objectives, the X-37B is also carrying a NASA experiment. This experiment will study the effects of radiation on plant seeds in space, providing valuable insights for future space exploration and agriculture.
Overall, this secretive mission with the X-37B holds promise for advancements in technology and space exploration. With the successful launch atop the Falcon Heavy rocket, the space plane is expected to achieve new milestones and deliver valuable data on various experiments and payloads.

Most planets have their own satellites, but these are all-natural, created by the cosmic effect of the universe, or God as religious individuals call it. These natural satellites are really huge, capable of harboring entire civilizations, and of spherical shape.
Thanks to the effect of gravity in space. They rotate around their host planets, through an orbit. Though it would be fascinating to discuss these natural satellites, let’s leave that part to the astronomers. Our major focus would be the artificial satellites, what they are, and their various purposes. So let’s move on. Let’s start with the most obvious question
What Is a satellite?
A satellite is a spherical heavenly body rotating freely around a bigger body in space, through a fixed part way called an orbit. An example of this is clearly the relationship between the Earth and its singular moon. Satellites could be more than one, it just depends on the planetary body in question. This ferries us to our main event.
What Is an Artificial Satellite?
The first thing one would most likely bear in mind is that these artificial satellites are totally man-made and could be any shape, unlike their spherical natural counterparts. An artificial satellite would be best defined as a man-made object, placed in orbit, rotating around the Earth to fulfill a specific purpose beneficial to man. Artificial satellites can be placed in orbit according to their functions, and these functions determine the altitudes they achieve in space.
Generally, altitudes are grouped in three variations. The LEO (Low Earth Orbit), the Middle Earth Orbit, and GEO (Geostationary Orbit). Artificial satellites vary in size. In fact, their designs are based on taxes they were launched to perform. Some satellites are as small as basketball balls, while others could be as large as buildings. Huge satellites are known to reach as much as 7 meters in length with light energy trapping structures extending almost 50 meters. It’s quite huge but like a pin compared to the moon.
Types OF Artificial Satellite
There are different types of artificial satellites with different purposes.
These are low-altitude satellites that rotate around the earth at a distance of roughly 200-2000 kilometers away from the Earth’s surface. They are known to make a complete orbit in about 90 minutes, the time it takes a football match to be complete. Most satellites within this distance limit need to be closer to Earth for specific reasons. For instance, satellites that take pictures of the Earth’s surface are designed to maintain this distance in order to get a clear shot. The International Space Station, orbits within this range, as this provides it with an optimum region to perform experiments in space and at the same time, reduce the fuel cost and travel distance required to deliver cargo to the station. Talk of killing two birds with one stone.
The middle Earth orbiters
These satellites are designed to maintain a middle-range altitude of about 20,000 kilometers away from the Earth’s surface. These satellites are usually placed in this orbit to maintain a 12 hours rotation around the Earth. They are usually unmanned and relay all information acquired, to the stations on the Earth below. A good example of this would be a GPS satellite.
These satellites are the most distant of all. They maintain a distance of roughly 36,000 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. These artificial satellites were designed to achieve a complete orbital part in 24 hours. A satellite like this was designed to focus on a particular spot or region it was designed to observe.
Parts Of A Satellite
Like every machine put together, whether in space or on Earth, artificial satellites have various regions which are designed to perform specific duties and help the satellite function properly. We would like to begin from…
As the name suggests, this is the powerhouse of a satellite. Artificial satellites make use of nuclear reactors or light panels as this is highly economical to keep a body functional for such a long time. These power cores provide the energy source required to keep all systems functioning.
Is more or less the beacon of communication between the satellites and the base on Earth. All information gathered by artificial satellites uses this medium to engage in communication with Earth through various streams of waves.

Altitude control systems
These are systems made up of tiny rockets, particles, and light sensors too, which are useful in re-adjusting the altitude distance of a satellite and determining its direction after it has been placed in orbit. Once placed in orbit, a satellite has no need for rocket propulsion anymore, it rotates freely around the Earth due to gravity. But sometimes the need to adjust orbit occurs, this is where altitude adjustment rockets crawl in
Thermal control system
Space is a near-vacuum, with nothing to absorb heat from the region around the satellites. Continuous light rays from the sun and heat from system operations, channels enormous heat energy. Therefore, heat monitoring, radiation, and reflective systems are designed in the satellite to help regulate heat and prevent destruction.
Information collecting system
Artificial satellites were mounted for the purpose of space research and studies. To fulfill this aim, it should be fused with structures that make this possible. Long scan and high-focus cameras working simultaneously with particle detectors make this a possibility. The information is then stored in a database and relayed back to Earth.
Satellites And Their Functions
Artificial satellites have been really useful in helping us understand space and the world beyond. As of today, thousands of satellites belonging to various countries orbit Earth and play major roles in research and space discoveries. We can’t touch all, but we will list a few.
International space station
This is a space station where countries of the world conduct experiments in space and monitor some astronomical occurrences. It is the biggest satellite in space, as large as a family house with solar panels roughly the size of a football field.
These are satellites that make a transmission, for television, radios, cellphones, and the internet possible. They are GEO satellites.
Weather satellites measure cloud changes from space and use those details to determine the weather of a geographical region. They are of two types. The GEO and LEO weather satellites.
These are GPS satellites, and they are usually made up of a total of 24 satellites. They maintain the middle Earth orbit, at a distance of 20 kilometers from Earth’s surface. The difference in time for signals received by four satellites determines the point of a GPS receiver on Earth
These are satellites with good telescopic and photographic capabilities. An example of this would be the Hubble space telescope with the ability to take clear photos of distant solar systems and even galaxies. They orbit within the low Earth orbit
Satellites have gone a long way from Sputnik 1, the first satellite to ever be launched. It was Russian and it proved to us that an artificial satellite was indeed a possibility. With what we know currently, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to think that someday, we may be able to mount satellites further into our galaxies for better information analysis. This would indeed be highly beneficial. Hope you learned a thing or two.

The author, a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, sat in a staff meeting at the Pentagon one morning and listened to two senior level Air Force officials explain the downfall of the Air Force's top lawyer, a two-star general. The top lawyer, allegedly, had affairs with 13 officers, enlisted members, and civilians. The very person charged with upholding justice within the Air Force had fallen far from his ethical framework or had never truly established one. As the two senior officers discussed the demise of their colleague and friend, they discussed the perils of e-mail and how e-mails provided the smoking gun in assuring the downfall of the top lawyer. Hardin sat there stunned. As a Colonel in the Air Force, he had had a difficult time explaining the top lawyer's actions to junior Air Force members. Now two senior officers are talking about the contents of e-mail as the primary lesson learned from the situation? It didn't compute. The senior officers dwelled on how the top lawyer was caught instead of his unethical behavior. | aerospace |

A Russian military plane crashed on its way to Syria on Sunday, with no sign of survivors among the 92 on board. The passengers included dozens of Red Army Choir members who were heading to celebrate the New Year with troops.
The Tu-154 plane crashed in the Black Sea shortly after taking off from the southern city of Adler where it had been refuelling, defence ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov told Russian news agencies.
Last week, an AeroSucre’s flight LMI2933 met a deadly accident near Puerto Carreño, Colombia on December 20.
The aircraft was on a nonscheduled domestic cargo flight from Puerto Carreño to Bogotá, Colombia. Just after takeoff, the aircraft crossed a road that was about 100 meters beyond the end of the runway, apparently hitting at least one fence and dragging the rear part of the aircraft on the ground.
The aircraft became airborne but did not gain a significant amount of altitude. The aircraft was videotaped making a descending right turn just before it crashed and caught fire.
The crash site was about 10 miles from the airport. Five of the six crew members were killed.
On December 7 Pakistan International Airlines’ ATR 42-500 crashed near Havelian, in KP province of Pakistan.
PK-661 was on a scheduled domestic flight from Chitral to Islamabad. While enroute, the crew reported that there was an engine problem and that the aircraft was descending. Shortly afterwards, the crew declared an emergency. The aircraft crashed into a hillside and caught fire. All five crew members and 42 passengers including renowned pop singer-turned-religious scholar Junaid Jamshed were killed.
On November 28, LaMia Avro’s flight LMI2933 with Brazilian football team onboard crashed near La Unión in Colombia.
The aircraft was on a nonscheduled international flight from Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia to Medellín, Colombia. On board was Brazilian Chapecoense Football Club, which was scheduled to play in the final of the 2016 Copa Sudamericana in Medellín.
Shortly before landing, the crew declared an emergency, reportedly due to an electrical problem, and the plane crashed into mountainous terrain near Medellín. Seven of the nine crew members and 64 of the 68 passengers were killed in the crash. Apparently, the owner of the airline, who was also a member of the flight crew, was killed in the crash.
On August 3 this year, Emirates’ flight EK521 narrowly escaped disaster as the aircraft with 282 passengers on board caught severe fire at Dubai airport. A firefighter was killed.
The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from Thiruvananthapuram, India to Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
On May 19 EgyptAir flight MS804 en route Paris to Cairo crashed, 56 passengers and 10 crew members killed.
The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from Paris, France to Cairo, Egypt when radar contact was lost. The aircraft was cruising at 37,000 feet and over the eastern Mediterranean Sea north of the Egyptian coast and crashed into the sea. There were no survivors among the 56 passengers and 10 crew members on board. Three of the crew members were reportedly security personnel.
On April 13, Papua New Guinea’s Sunbird Aviation plane crashed.
The aircraft was on an unscheduled domestic scheduled flight from Oksapmin to Kiunga, Papua New Guinean, and crashed near the destination airport shortly before landing, reportedly due to an engine failure. All onboard, including the pilot and 12 passengers, were killed.
On March 19 this year, Fly Dubai’s flight FZ981 crashed, claiming the lives of 62 people on board.
On February 24, Tara Air’s flight 193 met a deadly accident at Dana, Nepal.
The aircraft was on a domestic scheduled flight from Pokhara to Jomsom Airport and crashed while en route to its destination. All three crew members and 20 passengers were killed.-Online | aerospace |

He comes by it honestly, after 25 years in two branches of military aviation – Marines and Air Force.
Gouaux flew helicopters in the Marine Corps and in the Air Force flew C-5 transports, one of the largest airplanes ever built.
Today he’s Dominion Aviation’s Safety Manager, as well as a Captain on one of Dominion’s Gulfstream jets. He’s been at Dominion since 2015 and continues to serve in the Air Force Reserve, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Gouaux oversees Dominion’s Safety Management System (SMS). SMS is not required by the FAA, but it’ an industry best practice that Dominion has embraced since 2006.
Dominion’s SMS began in the charter department and has spread to the fixed-base operation, so that everyone at the airport can benefit, said Mike Mickel, CEO. In addition to charter, line service, maintenance, flight training and even customer service participate.
Gouaux said Dominion’s SMS is organized a little differently from its military equivalents, but uses similar methods and goals. In both cases, the goal is to look for hazards, analyze risks and tactically reduce them.
“Aviation is fundamentally risky on a good day,” Gouaux explained. Yet effective risk management can make it the very safest way to travel.
Dominion assigns every charter flight a risk score before it’s ever launched. If the risk is too high, something in the flight plan has to change.
But safety management is more than assessing risk, Gouaux continued. “We also take a daily and weekly look at how we’re doing business and reduce risks before you even get to the risk assessment.
“We rely on the whole company to file [SMS] reports, spotting problems whether they can suggest a solution or not. That’s the power of the SMS program. It allows individuals to contribute to the overall safe operation of the company. The power of many can be a tremendous force.”
Gouaux’s job is at Dominion Aviation, but he’s a resource for everyone at the airport. “I invite other operators to communicate with me [on safety issues],” he said. “I’m sort of an ombudsman for safety, a clearing house. I may not be the final destination [for a question or concern], but I can get it to the right place.” | aerospace |

No, this Titan I missile IS the real thing.
Not wanting to simply honor the United States Air Force with a plaque or an artful statue, the city of Cordele and the Rotary Club therein made it their mission to obtain an actual missile to proudly display in their town. And they succeeded.
The plaque reads, in part:
“The Rotary Club of Cordele initiated this project, a dream of its President, John S. Pate, Jr. The dream became reality when Confederate Air Force Pad No. I was christened July 17, 1969”.
The Titan was donated to the Cordele Rotary Club by the Federal Government. The Rotary donated it to Cordele and Crisp County.

and NASA. Designed to not only get sensory
professionals to think out of the box, but out of this world, the
meeting revolved around a presentation by Dr. Grace Douglas, Ph.D. the Lead
Scientist for Advanced Food Technology at the NASA Johnson Space Center. Dr. Douglas gave a fascinating overview of
the challenges her program has in food production, and acceptability testing
with the astronauts of the space program.
From the first food consumed in space (fyi – it was John
Glenn eating applesauce in orbit) to the “gourmet” meals of
the Mir Space Station, to the current fare served to residents of the
International Space Station, supplying crew members with nutritious, palatable,
portable, storable food is fraught with difficulty. With no freezers and limited refrigeration
currently available in space, crews must not only have access to supplies that can last
for multi-year missions (like a predicted 5-year time frame for a trip to Mars),
but that meet the special nutritional requirements the human body demands when
working in space, adhere to
severe weight and bulk limits, and fit the physical limitations of food served in space (think of all the crumbs floating around!) oh, and are acceptable to international palates too!
This got the attendees at the conference thinking, both about how they would work with those obstacles, and how they could apply some of the information to their own work dilemmas.
The local New York/New Jersey chapter followed up the presentation with a hands-on activity – tasting a variety of “space food”– freeze-dried fruits, vegetables, and even ice cream. Their mission – determine how similar are these foods to the real thing, describe what’s different, discuss what could possibly be done to make the experience closer to the real life food, and how they could go about setting up a testing program for it.
And the discussion didn’t stop there. What about nonfood items like toothpaste, lotion, or body cleansers? What about the packaging?
Facing so many limitations forced the group to think more creatively, and spurred conversations about new ways to approach testing.
The sensation frontier.
To explore new testing concepts, and new experiences.
To seek out new ways of evaluating, and new methodologies.
To boldly go where no sensory expert has gone before.

This simply means that all roles, from the pilots and cabin crew to in-flight ramp operations as well as flight dispatchers on the ground would be filled by women.
According to one of the airlines’pilots, Capt. Amsale Gualu, during an earlier all-female operated flight to Bangkok from Addis Ababa, “This flight shows us that if women get equal opportunities and work hard, I’m sure they can achieve whatever they want in all fields including the aviation industry.”
It would be recalled that in July 2017, Ethiopian airlines was named the BEST airline in Africa by The Skytrax World Airline Awards who compiled a list from world regions using global ratings. It has also recorded a 25 percent average growth rate in the past seven years. | aerospace |

The US Transportation Security Administration will conduct the final audit on Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in October, setting the stage for Kenya Airways [HASHTAG]#ticker[/HASHTAG]:KQ to start direct flights to America next April.
The audit, if successful, will see the airport receive the Last Point of Departure status that will allow flights from Nairobi to fly directly to the US.
Transport secretary James Macharia said on Tuesday the officials from the US department had confirmed the new audit date after they postponed it from this month.
“The officials from the US department of transport will be in the country in October to conduct the final audit on the Last Point of Departure, which will now allow for the start of direct flights between the two countries,” said Mr Macharia.
Last month, Kenya Civil Aviation Authority said final audit had been postponed until after the election. It had initially been set for June.
Mr Macharia said the Kenya Airways applied for the Air Service Licence and Air Operation Licence to the US authorities and the application is under process.

It has come to the point where you have accumulated the necessary flight hours and ratings, and you are now looking into purchasing your first aircraft. Congratulations on taking such a significant step in your life, one that most of us have dreamed of doing at some time in our lives. Whatever it was, whether it was owning a private jet to travel through the skies in luxury or your own personal helicopter to escape the rush hour traffic, owning any vehicle that can fly has always been considered hip since the Wright Brothers achieved their maiden flight in 1903.We are aware that you are researching the world of general aviation insurance and that you have a number of questions. Allow us to explain the fundamentals of general aviation so that you may move away from your computer and up in the air, where you belong, without further delay.
Basics of General Aviation Insurance, as well as Brokers
The first step in properly insuring your aircraft is to find a reputable and trustworthy broker to assist you in navigating the complex world of general aviation insurance; ideally, one that specializes solely in aviation insurance and can guide you through the entire aircraft purchasing process as well as your first year as an aircraft owner.You’ll need to understand the fundamentals of general aviation insurance in order to ensure that you have the appropriate coverage. What your broker will do is shop around for the greatest coverage and the best pricing among the dozen insurance companies that provide aircraft hangar insurance in the country.However, what you are actually seeking for is aviation liability coverage as well as hull coverage in each and every situation. If you can have those two fundamentals down pat, you’ll be well on your way to having the appropriate coverage to take to the skies.
Aviation Liability Insurance and Hull Insurance are two types of insurance that are available.
You are effectively protecting two things when you get general aviation insurance. The first type of insurance is aircraft liability coverage. This insurance covers the harm that an airplane can do to other people’s property as well as the passengers who are on board the aircraft. While the cost of liability protection can range from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars, it generally provides $1,000,000 in total liability protection with a per-passenger maximum of $100,000.
Following that, we’ll discuss hull coverage. Your aircraft in many ways is no different from the insurance you have on your automobile. Except in this instance, you most certainly spent a lot more money on your aircraft than you did on your vehicle, and you want to make sure your baby is protected. Hull Insurance is the term used to describe this type of coverage. The damage to the aircraft itself is covered by this policy, and you’ll want to consult with your broker to verify you have the appropriate level of coverage. If you have insufficient hull coverage, you may find yourself in a difficult situation in the case of a total loss. According to a number of circumstances, it will cost you between 1.5 percent and 10 percent of the insured worth of your aircraft to get it insured. | aerospace |

HOUSTON (AP) — United Airlines says a flight attendant deliberately deployed the emergency evacuation slide after a flight from Sacramento, California, landed at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport.
United spokesman Charlie Hobart says officials are investigating why the female employee, whose name has not been released, deployed the slide and jumped onto it to exit the aircraft Monday morning.
Hobart says the flight attendant has been removed from her flying duties and that her actions do not represent the more than 20,000 flight attendants who work for the airline.
No one was hurt during the incident and Hobart says the plane was put back into service after a new slide was installed and the aircraft inspected. | aerospace |

Purchasing an aircraft represents a huge investment. We want to help you make a smart decision by not wasting time and money or ending up with an unpleasant surprise after the fact. Call us first at 833-AEROPRO before deciding on your next plane!
What exactly is a pre-buy evaluation?
It is to your advantage to insist upon a pre-buy evaluation. The aircraft may be found to be unairworthy because of faulty equipment or lack of compliance with an airworthiness directive (AD). Once the deal is closed and you take possession of the aircraft, it will be extremely difficult to force the previous owner to bear the cost of repairs that should have been performed before the sale.
What is included in my pre-buy evaluation?
It can be as simple as a glance at engine and airframe logbooks to ensure everything is in order or a full annual inspection.
Aeropro will work with you and the seller to determine the specific scope and detail of the pre-buy evaluation.
Either way, we will ALWAYS be open with you in discussing your options, your intentions and the outcome of our evaluation.
Aeropro recommends selecting items from the manufacturer's recommended inspection program to define the pre-buy evaluation. (Some sellers, for example, will not agree to panels being opened beyond the engine cowlings. )
Our FAA certified mechanics will examine the aircraft for damage and wear that might not be evident to the untrained eye and to detect maintenance problems that might arise in the future.
The end result...
You will receive a complete & current aircraft status based on the FAA regulations, life-limited items, and the manufacturer's recommendations along with our findings from the evaluation.
An unsatisfactory condition is not necessarily cause for rejection of the aircraft, but it should be treated as a point for further investigation and/or negotiation with the seller. | aerospace |

The proposal to amend the Value Added Tax Act for this purpose was on Wednesday afternoon tabled before the Finance committee Chaired by Rubanda East MP Henry Musasizi by the State Minister for Finance in-charge of Planning David Bahati.
Bahati justified the move saying that it seeks to reduce the cost of insuring aircraft in Uganda and also support the development of the local airline industry. The exemption of supply of aircraft insurance will see Uganda lose 4 billion shillings in taxes.
However, the Kachumbala County MP Patrick Isiagi questioned the motive behind the exemption on aircraft insurance.
Budadiri West MP, Nathan Nandala Mafabi also queried the move to exempt insurance for aircraft and leave other means of transport.
Finance Ministry's Director Economic Affairs, Moses Kaggwa justified the new move saying that it is an extension of other zero-rated supplies already under the third schedule of the Value Added Tax Act citing supply of leased aircraft, aircraft engine, spare engine, spare parts for aircraft and aircraft maintenance equipment.
He further explained that Uganda has many companies which are leasing aircraft to provide tourist services and cargo handling services and that the new proposal is not about the new revived airline.
"The exemption that we are seeking is not just for the new entity but for the benefit of all. We all know that the cost of air travel in this country is very high and what we want to do is to reduce that cost," said Kaggwa.
Bahati also said that the new airline was considered saying that it is envisaged to support the economy by facilitating tourism.
Uganda's first two aircraft arrived in the country on Tuesday. The Bombardier CRJ900 planes are scheduled to start commercial flights around Africa in July. | aerospace |

NTU’s first foray into space began 20 years ago. The first project was a communication payload codenamed Merlion, while the main satellite body was developed by the University of Surrey, UK. The latest satellite, called the AOBA VELOX-IV cube satellite, was built by a team led by Mr. Lim Wee Seng, executive director of NTU’s Satellite Research Centre, while its new altitude determination and control algorithm was developed by Professor Cho Mengu’s research team at the Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. It was launched from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Epsilon-4 rocket.
Equipped with two solar panels which unfold in space to form a 30 cm x 20 cm solar array, the AOBA VELOX-IV’s primary mission is to capture Earth’s horizon during sunrise and sunset, which would pave the way towards eventually capturing the lunar horizon glow, a phenomenon first observed by Apollo astronauts in the 1960s. To achieve this goal, the AOBA VELOX-IV is equipped with a superior low-light camera, an altitude control algorithm and precise reaction wheels which can rotate and orient the satellite accurately at its target.
The AOBA VELOX-IV’s secondary mission is to test an improved quad-jet pulsed plasma thruster that generates ultra-hot plasma gases by burning solid teflon fuel. It is used to precisely control the satellite’s angular momentum and rotation, which would be required when orbiting the moon in any future lunar mission.
The scientists believe that a lunar mission may be achievable within five years, using satellites weighing no more than 100 kg each, which would be lighter than any other that has made the 384,400 km journey.
“Building on NTU Singapore’s satellite engineering expertise over the last decade, our latest satellite launches demonstrate our leading-edge space capabilities. We have shrunk advanced cameras, thrusters and the electronics capability of larger satellites into something the size of a shoebox,” said Professor Lam Khin Yong, vice president (research) at NTU.
Cho added that the AOBA VELOX-IV was chosen by the JAXA for its Innovative Satellite Technology Demonstration Program because of the commercial value of technologies to be demonstrated by AOBA VELOX-IV, which are useful not only for the lunar mission but also for other Earth-orbiting cube satellite missions.

They plan to send the new Dragon capsule to Mars and land it on the surface within two years!!
A couple of years ago I would have said this guy was off his chump. If it was anyone but Elon Musk saying it, I still would. But he guy has a serious record for doing what he says he will in the area of space innovation. His was the first (and still only) commercial vehicle to be allowed to dock with the International Space Station to deliver supplies. His company is the first to re-land the main stage of a rocket after launching something to orbit, so that it can be reused (and therefore make space launches cheaper).
I don’t doubt he can do this. He’s been working on the new, big, booster for a while, along with the new, larger, man rated dragon capsule. Two years might be tight for finishing them, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it in four. I might be more surprised if he didn’t.Now don’t get me wrong, sending an unmanned capsule to land on Mars is a long, long way from sending people, let alone bringing them back. But in people’s psyche it will seem like a huge milestone towards it, actually the first time we could say we were progressing towards a human to Mars mission since the end of Apollo. | aerospace |

Throughout astrophysics in college I always loved the challenges of orbital dynamics. I constantly wanted to know the different possibilities of getting different masses to different orbits in space, and the power required to get there. I read a book called “The Eye in the Sky” about a satellite mission called Corona in the late 60’s. The technology requirements fascinated me and I wanted to know more about satellites, rockets, and orbits.
You attended the University of Wyoming. What did you study?
I have a BS in physics, and a graduate certificate in space systems engineering.
Favorite and/or most challenging courses:
Orbital dynamics. Very challenging to understand orbit, gravity, mass, and fuel efficiencies.
What got you into the field of trajectory analysis?
Interest in orbital dynamics, and persistence to learn rocket mechanics.
Engineers have a lot of computerized models to analyze where a rocket goes, if the computers are doing the work, where does the engineer come in?
The engineer writes the program and the analysis and creates the models that are then run through a computer for processing.
Why did you try out to be a college cheerleader? I cheered for 3 years. I tried out because I was watching a basketball game and saw a basket toss (the guys tossed a girl high in the air and she did a back flip), and I said “I want to do that” – so I tried out and made it!
Which came first, interest in engineering or cheerleading?
I have always loved gymnastics and dance for as long as I can remember, but in first grade I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said “a professional dancer or a scientist” so I think it was mutual! 🙂
So what’s your day job like?
I model a trajectory (path of flight) for a rocket, and document the rocket’s constant location in space. I model many different rockets including missiles and orbital flights (rotating around the Earth). For missile analysis, the target location is important, as it determines where the rocket will be launched. We have multiple launch locations in the U.S. including California, Alaska, Florida, and near Hawaii. For different orbits (distances away from earth), the launch location is also important. I also have to consider the size of the rocket needed. For satellite orbits a larger rocket will be needed to carry the satellite far into orbit, but for missiles trying to reach a target location on Earth a smaller rocket is used. Rocket size is created by different motor sizes called rocket stages. I spend most of my time creating and writing programs on the computer, to simulate a rocket launch, and performing analysis or testing if a particular rocket could do a task at hand.
What does it mean to you to be an engineer?
It means being a part of and being involved in varied and exciting new advances and activities, such as sending a spacecraft to Mars, or enabling hypersonic flight.
How do the qualities that make you a cheerleader benefit you as an engineer?
The ability to speak out in front of people and being the center of attention helps me with presentations and proposals when I am needed for speaking to an audience.
Have you encountered stereotypes in your career, and if so, how have you handled them?
It was always a challenge in cheerleading. In college I had physics professors roll their eyes when I had to miss class to cheer for the basketball team at the NCAA tournament. I had to work hard to prove to them that I was a very capable physicist/astrophysicist. They didn’t believe that there could be a mix with academia and athletics. As an engineer, we get stereotyped as “introverts” and “nerds.” I am happy to show that I am bubbly, outgoing, and an extrovert as an engineer. I love telling people what I do for a living and surprise them!!
About breaking down the stereotypes… I strive to be a positive role model to young women everywhere that we do not have to be a girl in the box (where the box is the label that society places on us) . We can be cheerleaders, we are smart, and we can strive in a situation where society says we can not.
Best cheerleading experience?
Cheering for the University of Wyoming basketball team at the NCAA tournament and being on TV. 🙂
Best engineering experience:
Becoming a Mission Planning lead for a conventional strike missile concept development, developing a rapid mission planning tool suite and preparing presentation materials for a guidance, navigation, and controls national conference.
Would you change your degree, and if so, what would it be?
Yes, I would focus more on orbital dynamics and space system engineering.
What advice would you give your 12-year-old self?
Continue to do what you want. And don’t stop until you get there.
One thing people find surprising about you?
That I’m an engineer.
I play a lot of doubles volleyball tournaments all summer long. I love to kayak and paddle board, and spend time with my 3-year-old daughter. | aerospace |

In this design work, the SD2030 thin airfoil was selected as a profile section for the turbine blades. The taper ratio, section twist angle and blade angle were optimized using the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory. In a numerical investigation, the aerodynamic flow field was computed using the two-dimensional Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow to predict the performance of the airfoil at the Reynolds number of 1 x 105. The numerical results obtained were in accordance with the wind tunnel test’s result and thus validating this Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) works. Results depict that this new turbine design with the airfoil of SD2030 can rotate at a low start-up wind speed of 2.4 m/s, testifying that the design is successful, and that the turbine is capable to operate at low Reynolds number such as 1 x 105 with the desired output.

If it would just go to airliner altitude, 35,000 feet, it would burn up a hypersonic speeds and lets assume it would not burn up, or getting destroyed by the aerodynamic pressure, it would need insane amounts of fuel to get to Hypersonic speeds and maintain it. That sucker flies a ballistic curve and when it runs out of fuel and the engine stops, it immediately decelerates, like hitting a brick wall. When it hits the ground it will be supersonic, friction of the air. Physics. | aerospace |

FreeFlight worked with Peregrine Avionics and DAC International to develop the STC. The ADS-B OUT solution is a 10090ES system, with high-integrity Waas GPS position source and an ADS-B rule-compliant mode-S transponder.
FreeFlight pioneered ADS-B approvals, having developed the first STC to meet the Jan. 1, 2020 mandate. That system was for the AgustaWestland AW139. FreeFlight also collaborated on an STC for the S-76C+/C++.
A new program for FreeFlight is a long-term agreement to supply its FDL-978-TX Rangr-G ADS-B transponder to Exelis for airport ground vehicles. This is part of Exelis's Symphony Vehicle Movement Area Transponder (VMAT) airport operations system. VMAT will be used to provide tracking of all types of vehicles on the airport surface at 35 airports in the U.S. that are equipped with airport surveillance detection equipment (ASDE-X). It can also be used at airports with airport surface surveillance capability (ASSC).
Air traffic control displays, cockpit displays and portable devices can be used to view the equipped vehicles on the airport surface. Portable devices will use Exelis's MobileVue application. According to FreeFlight, "the Rangr-G is the first and currently only FAA-certified [universal access transceiver] for ground vehicle installation." The Rangr-G operates on the 978UAT frequency that is also used for ADS-B IN datalink weather and traffic services.
To help meet the demand for equipment needed for the Jan. 1, 2020 ADS-B OUT mandate in U.S. airspace, JetTech has received an STC amendment that adds ADS-B capability to Cessna Citation 500 series jets. The amended STC covers Citation 500s modified by JetTech with Garmin GTN 650 and 750 touchscreen com and navigation systems.
A new benefit of the amended STC is that JetTech can install the GTN 650/750 in Citation 500s Serial Number 1 through 274 that are fitted with Bendix FGS-70 autopilots. Now the JetTech STC covers more than 2,000 Citation airframes, according to the company, and the model numbers include the 500, 501, 550, 551, S550 and 560.
The ADS-B portion of the STC uses Garmin's GDL 88, a dual-link transceiver that provides ADS-B OUT on the 1090ES frequency and ADS-B IN services, such as free datalink weather and traffic information on the 978UAT frequency. Also installed for the ADS-B upgrade is Garmin's GTX 33ES transponder. The STC adds Garmin's new GWX 70 radar, GDL 69A Sirius XM WX receiver, GAD 42 remote adapter and GMA 35 audio panels, plus antennas. JetTech can add its STC for installation of Garmin G600 glass panels as well.
JetTech has also developed an STC for installation of the GTN 650/750 in CitationJet models with serial numbers 0001-0359. FAA approval is pending.
In partnership with Ultra Electronics Flightline Systems, JetTech announced a digital engine display upgrade for the Citation 500 series jets. The new system will replace the analog vertical tape gauges in the Citations but plug into existing connectors and use the same mounting fasteners. The display will meet Level B software certification standards and feature field upgradeability, monitoring and recording of all engine parameters, fuel computer functions and reversionary mode, according to JetTech.
The True Blue Power division of Mid-Continent Instruments and Avionics unveiled a new 250-Watt inverter at the Aircraft Electronics Association International Convention and Trade Show in Nashville, Tenn., this week. Mid-Continent is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, as well as the recent FAA and EASA certification of the True Blue Power division's new TB17 lithium-ion main-ship battery.
The new TI250 DC-to-AC inverter runs on 28-VDC input and delivers 250 Watts of 115-VAC power for plug-in devices, such as laptop computers, smartphones, tablets and special-missions equipment. The inverter weighs 2.2 pounds and can be installed in the cabin or cockpit. No fan is needed to cool the TI250, which includes a built-in ground fault interrupter. True Blue Power also manufactures inverters in other sizes, including 10, 500 and 1,200 Watts.
Mid-Continent now employs 200 people at its two locations, in Wichita and Van Nuys, Calif. In addition to manufacturing more than 20,000 units per year, the company also overhauls/exchanges and repairs more than 15,000 units per year, including gyros, altimeters, HSIs and autopilots.
"Growing and sustaining a successful business, especially in the highly competitive and challenging aviation industry, is not for the faint of heart," said Todd Winter, Mid-Continent president and CEO. "To do so for half a century requires exceptionally efficient and dedicated employees that have an unrelenting commitment to their customers and fellow aviators.
Founded in Wichita, Kan., in 1964, Mid-Continent added a manufacturting facility in Van Nuys, Calif., in 1991.
The U.S. Air Force's 56th Fighter Wing at Luke AFB, Arizona is set to formally unveil its first Lockheed Martin F-35A fighter on Friday, following delivery of the aircraft earlier in the week. Hosted by Undersecretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning, the ceremony comes ahead of this weekend's public airshow at the base. The aircraft was flown in from Edwards AFB on Tuesday by test pilot Colonel Roderick Cregier.
Following delivery of the first aircraft, Luke AFB will begin preparation to train crew for the conventional takeoff and landing version of the Joint Strike Fighter. By the end of this year 16 F-35As are due to have been delivered, and training is scheduled to start in the second quarter of next year. By 2019 more than 100 F-35As should be at Luke, from a final allocation of 144, split among six squadrons. This month the first Luke-assigned pilot, Capt. Joshua Arki of the 61st Fighter Squadron, is scheduled to return from JSF conversion training.
Luke has been the principal location for U.S. Air Force tactical training since the 1950s, with F-84s, F-100s, F-4s, F-15s and F-16s assigned as the major types. F-16 training has been undertaken since 1982, and Luke became the primary F-16 training center in the early 1990s with the transfer of three squadrons from MacDill AFB, Florida. Located in the western suburbs of the greater Phoenix area, Luke enjoys excellent year-round weather and has quick access to sizeable ranges over sparsely populated areas of Arizona.
F-35 training for all three U.S. services is currently conducted by the F-35 Integrated Training Center of the 33rd Fighter Wing at Eglin AFB, Florida, which parents the 58th FS "Mighty Gorillas" (Air Force, to be at full strength with 24 F-35As this spring), VMFAT-501 "Warlords" (Marine Corps, 20 F-35Bs) and VFA-101 "Grim Reapers" (Navy, to receive 15 F-35Cs). As well as assuming the training mantle for U.S. Air Force pilots, the 56th Fighter Wing at Luke will also parent training for overseas JSF operators. The first aircraft for Australia (AU-1) is due to arrive at the Arizona base before year-end.
Next year the Air Force plans to begin F-35A deliveries to its first operational unit (388th Fighter Wing) at Hill AFB, Utah. The base will ultimately have 72 F-35As assigned to the 388th FW and Air Force Reserve 419th FW. Hill is also home to the Ogden Air Logistics Center, which is the primary maintenance depot for the F-35A. This unit received its first F-35A for pre-service modification work last year. | aerospace |

It has about the same rotation period, has seasons, had atmosphere and frozen water at the polar caps. Due to this, it has often been speculated that life exists or at least existed on the red planet.
As Mars has a near non-existent atmosphere and magnetosphere, solar winds deem life at the surface impossible to survive. However subterranean life 7 meters under surface may still survive as radiation is limited there.
Research suggests that liquid water may be present in low lying geological formations, when the Martian season becomes warmer and ice thaws. The presence of water in liquid phase has been supported by formation of seasonal canals on Martian terrain.
It is known that there are organisms on Earth that can thrive on extraterrestrial environments such as that of Mars. The answer to life on Mars can only be answered by time and advancement on technology.

- Aerial systems such as the Predator and other drones were ineffective at detecting and verifying potential threats
- The PGSS program was initiated to utilize lighter than air aerostat systems to provide persistent ground surveillance
- The PGSS program utilizes TCOM’s 22M aerostat system, which has an operational altitude of 3,000 ft.

- TCOM recently celebrated the milestone of one-hundred-thousand combat ISR hours under the PGSS program
U.S. Military forward operating bases (FOB) in Afghanistan faced daunting challenges in maintaining perimeter security. Small, fast-moving vehicles, hidden mortars and IEDs were difficult to detect, and posed considerable danger to U.S. troops. Existing aerial surveillance systems such as the Predator and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) were effective at striking targets, but were not able to provide consistent and accurate intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The UAV platforms were constantly moving, and at varying altitudes, which made it difficult to verify positive identification of the target and pinpoint activities or intent. With the initiation of the PGSS program, TCOM aerostats changed the paradigm on the battlefield.
The United States Department of Defense (DoD) initiated the Persistent Ground Surveillance System Aerostat Program (PGSS) to provide a persistent, elevated ground surveillance system that could offer a comprehensive coverage radius to provide actionable intelligence to keep soldiers safe on base. DoD turned to TCOM, the global leader in reliable persistent surveillance solutions, to provide aerostat systems that deliver the surveillance and communication capabilities needed to detect and neutralize potential threats.
The PGSS program utilizes TCOM’s 22M aerostat system, which can rise to an altitude of 3,000 feet carrying aloft cutting-edge sensor payloads. The integrated system provides 24-hour, eye in the sky surveillance, rapidly relaying mission-critical information to decision makers on the ground. The system’s round-the-clock coverage and stationary elevated perspective deliver a comprehensive view of the surrounding terrain, providing total domain awareness. This enables military forces to first detect threats that would have otherwise gone unseen, and second, to detect threats more quickly. This allows more time to verify, respond and neutralize.
Since implementing the PGSS Aerostat Program in Afghanistan, TCOM’s persistent aerostat systems have played a critical role in deterring and dissuading potential threats to U.S. bases in Afghanistan. The systems’ elevated, 24-hour surveillance has led to numerous interceptions of insurgent activity, saving the lives of U.S. troops, and ensuring safer perimeters for U.S. bases. As part of the PGSS program, TCOM aerostat systems have become an integral component to U.S. combat operations, providing actionable intelligence that leaders depend on to make effective decisions on the battlefield. As a testament to the success of the program, TCOM recently celebrated the milestone of one-hundred-thousand combat ISR hours supporting the PGSS program. | aerospace |

According to federal law in the United States, it is illegal to point a laser at aircraft or into its flight path. Lasers can temporarily or even permanently blind pilots and cause a crash. Title 13 of the Arizona Criminal Code also makes it a crime to point a laser at an aircraft, and those who do so face serious consequences. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Arizona has the fourth highest rates of laser strike incidents in the country with 159 strikes reported so far in 2019.
ABC 15 in Phoenix reported on its website that a Phoenix man is accused of repeatedly pointing a laser pointer at a police helicopter while airborne officers were investigating a burglary in the area.
On Friday, August 16th, Phoenix Police arrested Davonte Jamerson, 27, of Avondale after he allegedly lit up the cockpit of a Phoenix Police Department helicopter with a green laser while it was flying over the neighborhood.
Though Jamerson told local reporters that he was only showing the laser to a neighbor and would never intentionally hurt anyone, police believe otherwise. Investigators say that the laser stayed trained on the helicopter until it was directly over Jamerson’s home.
Officers on the ground were directed to the home where he was arrested for aggravated assault and pointing a laser at a police officer.
For a free legal consultation, call 866-499-8989
Phoenix Police Pilot Scott Hopkins who was flying over Jamerson’s home that night told ABC that such laser strikes are very dangerous by making pilots disoriented and can cause permanent damage to their vision. Unfortunately, he has experienced such incidents himself. “Just me personally as the pilot, at least 20 times,” Hopkins said. | aerospace |

In accordance with the definition of the Remote Sensing (RS) – it’s a data about Earth received from the space, by using capabilities of electro-magnet waves emitted, reflected, absorbed or scattered by the objects of sensing.
The whole surface of Earth, including elements of land, water, atmosphere, natural phenomena, anthropogenic factors and formations, are the objects of sensing of Remote Sensing respectively.
National Space Facilities Control And Test Center (NSFCTC) is the only structure in Ukraine, that provides all variety of actions in sphere of Remote Sensing, including exploitation of Remote Sensing framework generally or its separate elements: storing, analyzing, interpretation (decrypting) and distribution Remote Sensing data.
Moreover, NCSFCT is officially recognized as a national operator of Remote Sensing systems.
In structure NSFCTC – there are Center Of Special Information Reception and Processing (CSIRP) and Navigation Field Control (NFC) (located in Dunaevtsi city, Khmelnytsky region) with several active data receiving stations in range from 1.7GHz to 8.2GHz; stations of coordination and reception of telemetric data.
Fig.1 RS reception and telemetry stations
NSFCTC specialists has been providing full-scale exploitation of all national RS satellites beginning with the first ukrainian satellite “Sich-1” which was launched in 1994. Particularly NCSFCT specialists were involved within the framework of Ground Control Complex (GCC) and Ground Information Complex (GIC).

By RU Pablo
“C-130 rolling down the strip, 64 Rangers on a one-way trip…”
Regardless of your MOS or if you joined the Army in 1974 or 2014, you have no doubt sang this cadence or some variance thereof. The C-130 is, and has for generations been, a staple of military life and lore.
ven-er-a-ble, adjective: old and respected; valued and respected because of old age, long use, etc. (MerriamWebster)
Venerable might be the best word to describe Lockheed Martin’s C-130 Hercules. After making its first flight on August 23, 1954, the gold standard of military cargo aircraft turns 60 this weekend.
If you’re one of the thousands of service members and veterans who earned a living jumping out of perfectly good aircraft, the C-130 Hercules was certainly one of those perfectly good aircraft. The C-130 as played a significant role in military conflicts and operations around the world.
You would be hard pressed to think of any significant military operation during the last half century that the C-130 did not have a role in. From dirt airstrips cut into the Southeast Asian jungles by Air America to the 1976 Israeli Defense Forces raid on Entebbe Airport in Uganda to current operations along the Afghan-Pakistan border, the C-130 is the aircraft platform that never stops and continues to be modified for better and better performance.
In 1963, the C-130 set the record for the largest and heaviest aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier when it made 29 touch and go landings, 21 unarrested landings, and 21 unassisted take-offs on the U.S. aircraft carrier, the Forrestal. The aircraft continues to hold that record today.
Variants of the C-130 airframe include the AC-130H Spectre gunship used for close air support and the MC-130 Combat Talon used for special operations missions. Aerial refueling, combat search and rescue, aerial surveillance, and weather reconnaissance (aka, flying into the middle of a hurricane to gather weather data) are but a few of the diverse missions the C-130 has been modified to accomplish. There is even a variant equipped with skis for operating on the snow and ice.
The C-130 Hercules is operated by the military forces of over 68 different countries not including the United States.
In speaking about the aircraft’s milestone birthday, Lockheed Martin’s George Shultz said, “In its first six decades, the C-130 shaped aviation history, redefined industry standards and exhibited flexibility that other aircraft have yet to match. The C-130 remains the world’s most proven airlifter because of its ability to adapt, remain relevant and deliver results no matter the mission.
I have no doubt that every veteran who ever interacted with this workhorse aircraft has a particular memory of it. Mine include, among other things, praying for the jump master to kick us out on the first pass because the fresh air from falling 22 feet per second under the nylon canopy of a T-10 parachute would be a significant improvement for my delicate, hungover stomach than suffering through another round of nap-of-the-earth flying.
A few Jump School classmates of mine had never been in a flying aircraft prior to jump week. I always wondered what a strange sensation it must be to have flown in a plane five times, but never landed once.
Although there are larger and faster cargo aircraft available, it is unlikely the C-130 will go away any time soon. The versatile and tough aircraft is the most suitable for a number of missions and Lockheed Martin continues to roll out new variants every year. The distinct sound of this workhorse stands out in the memories and experiences of veterans around the world as distinctly as the rotors of the Blackhawk and the Huey before it.
The C-130 will remain one of the constants in the military experience. Whether you are an aging veteran of Vietnam or you spent your time in Iraq or Afghanistan, you likely share the experience of the C-130. The kids coming up behind us who find themselves fighting in whatever spot on the globe the world’s bad players draw us towards will share the same experience.
As for the C-130’s birthday celebration, Lockheed Martin is collecting and posting pictures and videos on their company website and their social media pages under the hashtag #herc60. | aerospace |

This study was performed (at the request of the FAA) to measure temperature and pressure conditions observed by standard packages in the FedEx Next Day Air network and the environmental conditions of passenger aircrafts. To measure the single parcel environment, two destinations known to be served by non-pressurized feeder and pressurized aircrafts in the USA, San Luis Obispo, California, and Twin Falls, Idaho, were used to represent higher altitude paths. Test packages (0.30 × 0.30 × 0.30 m) containing one MadgeTech PRTemp110 recorder were shipped Priority Overnight by FedEx from East Lansing, Michigan. For 6 weeks, two test packages were shipped to each destination. To measure the passenger aircraft environment, test packages (0.14 × 0.11 × 0.06 m) were both carried in the passenger cabin and checked with luggage. Results show temperature ranges, pressure drop rates, and maximum altitudes observed from 52 flights (17 feeder aircrafts) in the FedEx environment and from eight commercial passenger flights. This study compares these results with the ASTM D6653-01 test procedure with respect to suggested test pressure, pressure change rate, temperature, and test duration. | aerospace |

The objective is to optimise traffic flows according to air traffic control capacity while enabling airlines to operate safe and efficient flights.
We start planning operations as early as possible - sometimes more than one year in advance: we consolidate the air traffic forecasts issued by the aviation industry and the capacity plans issued by the Air Traffic Control Centres and airports.
We also define operational scenarios to anticipate specific events which may cause congestion (such as sporting events, Christmas skiing or summer holiday traffic). Eventually, in case of an unforeseen event with major impact on traffic, we organise a coordinated response to the crisis.
The ATFCM activities are divided into three phases:
About one year before the flight takes place until one week before real time operations.
During this phase, the Network Manager Operations Center (NMOC) helps the Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to predict what capacity they will need to provide in each of their air traffic control centres.
In addition, a routing scheme is prepared – a structure of air routes across Europe designed to balance the air traffic flows and maximise capacity.
This also includes avoiding imbalances between capacity and demand for events taking place a week or more in the future (large-scale military exercises, major sports events, etc.).
The capacity commitments of every operational stakeholder in the network are reflected in a common planning document: the Network Operations Plan (NOP).
Six days before real time operations.
The task of the Network Manager Operations Centre staff is to:
- coordinate the definition of a daily plan aimed at optimising the overall ATM network performance and minimising delay and cost, after a collaborative decision making process involving operational partners - such as ATC units and aircraft operators;
- inform them about the ATFCM measures that will be in force in European airspace on the following day via the publication of the agreed plan for the day of operations. We publish this so-called Daily Plan on the NOP Portal.
The day of operations
We monitor and update the Daily Plan made the day before based on current reality.
We continue working on capacity optimisation according to real time traffic demand, and where aircraft are affected by a regulation, we offer alternative solutions to minimise delays.
Flights taking place on that day receive the benefit of the flow management service, which includes inter alia the allocation of individual aircraft departure slots, re-routings to avoid bottlenecks and alternative flight profiles in an attempt to maximise flight efficiency and make the best use of the available capacity.
In order to achieve a totally fair solution, we share the evolution of the traffic and ATFCM situation in real time and in full transparency with our operational partners, thanks to the NOP Portal.

Ten years ago, the great white hope of European aviation took to the skies for the first time. The double-deck A380 took off from the Airbus headquarters in Toulouse for its first flight on 27 April 2005.
The 'SuperJumbo' was supposed to transform flying. It could carry more people, more comfortably than ever before.
Since then, the A380 has flown hundreds of millions of passengers safely. It is an astonishing technological success, able to fly non-stop one-third of the way around the world. But commercially it has not achieved the high hopes for transforming air travel for the 21st Century.
Aviation history is littered with aircraft failures. Not just the fatally flawed Comet 1, the hopelessly timed Bristol Brabazon (a propellor plane launched by Britain just as the jet age dawned) and the terminally unviable Concorde.
The MD11 was a tri-jet left grounded in the era of 'big twins'. The long legs of the Airbus A340-500 – capable of flying non-stop from Singapore to New York – looked less appealing in an era of high oil prices.
And now it looks as though the career of the Airbus A380 may not last as long as the jet it superseded, the Boeing 747 - still flourishing after 45 years in service.
The SuperJumbo operates the world's longest route, from Dallas to Sydney, for Qantas. Its sheer scale offers the airlines the opportunity to fly many hundreds of people at attractive fares, or to offer the height of luxury – as Etihad's new three-room suite demonstrated when the airline's A380 entered service between Abu Dhabi and Heathrow.
And, on the subject of Heathrow, it allows carriers to extract the maximum possible value from each slot at the world's most-constrained airport.
Singapore Airlines, launch customer for the A380, put the plane on the Heathrow route soon after it entered service in 2007.
British Airways, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas and Qatar Airways also fly the A380 from Heathrow, and see it as a marketing edge: when BA launched its Washington DC route, it flooded the US capital with billboards for the only SuperJumbo service to London.
Emirates is the airline that extracts most capacity from its five daily departure slots at Heathrow: all are A380 operations.
At Gatwick and Manchester, the UK’s next-biggest airports, the Dubai-based airline is deploying the A380 on two out of three daily departures. Such operations were not a core part of the A380 vision, which was aimed at the biggest aviation hubs.
But Emirates has plenty of the planes knocking about, having ordered far more A380s than anyone else as it aims to become people-carrier for the world. The carrier took delivery of its 60th last week, with 80 more to come.
The rest of the aviation world combined has barely ordered more: a total of 317.
Most Heathrow stalwarts have shunned the planes.
Crucially the three US giants - American Airlines, Delta and United - have shown no interest in the A380. Even though they all have valuable slots at Heathrow and New York’s constrained airports, the plane does not fit their business model: specifically, the offer to high-spending, time-sensitive executives on frequent flights.
The A380 has never been deployed on the world’s premier intercontinental air route, from London to New York.
Even when Virgin Atlantic finally takes delivery of its first SuperJumbo in 2018, it is likely to use the plane on routes such as Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Johannesburg.
All three routes are 11 hours-plus, during which the extra comfort of the jet will be fully appreciated, particularly by business travellers - who tend to be less 'frequency sensitive' on longer routes.
With the sequence of high-profile aircraft disasters last year and this, a number of passengers are 'safety sensitive'.
In 2010, an A380 operating Qantas flight 32 from Heathrow to Sydney suffered an uncontained engine failure shortly after takeoff from Singapore. It made a safe emergency landing two hours later. Since then, the plane has operated more or less flawlessly – and fears that terrorists would see it as a prime target have not so far been realised.
Premier-league airlines such as Singapore Airlines like to keep a modern fleet – not just for pleasing passengers, but also because maintenance costs on older planes tend to be higher, and reliability lower. Soon the carrier may be looking to retire its earliest A380s.
The issue now: what is a second-hand SuperJumbo worth? Unlike for smaller planes, for which buyers can be fairly readily found, there is no existing market for used A380s.
While there may be airlines keen to rip out the first-class suites, replace them with seats and more seats, and flying high-density operations between Shanghai and Hong Kong or Cape Town and Johannesburg, no clamour of interest has yet arisen.
Like the jet itself, the market is intriguingly quiet.
A380 By The Numbers
0 – Fatal crashes involving the A380 since it first took off on a test flight from the Airbus HQ at Toulouse 10 years ago this week.
9 – Number of daily A380s flights from the UK to Dubai: five from Heathrow, two from Gatwick and two from Manchester, all operated by Emirates – the biggest customer for the jet, having ordered nearly half.
11 – Maximum number of seats that can be fitted in each row in economy, which Airbus describes as “A comfortable 11-abreast economy section with 18-inch-wide seats.” No airline has this configuration at present, preferring to seat 10 across.
72 – Average number of flights on a typical day this summer between London and New York, the world’s premier intercontinental air route. None is operated by an Airbus A380.
78 – Time in seconds for 853 passengers and 20 crew to leave the A380 during a test evacuation, with half the 16 exits open, as part of safety certification.
317 – Number of A380s ordered, of which about half have been delivered. For comparison, 1500 Boeing 747s have been built since it entered service in 1970.

English term or phrase:thin wing
The thin wing is part of the air inlet, which is connected with inside wall of the air inlet by the fixed or movable method.
When the air flow flows through the thin wing, the thin wing will generate lifting forces and transmit the lifting forces to the inside wall of the air inlet to produce the lifting forces for the aircraft. | aerospace |

With improvements in the Polaris missile coming rapidly that bestowed even greater range, the Soviet Union, lacking a blue-water navy in the 1960s looked to unique if not creative answers to seek out and destroy the American SSBNs which no longer needed to lurk close to Soviet shores to reach remote ocean areas not normally patrolled by the Soviet Navy.
In 1965 the Beriev OKB was tasked with developing one of the most impressive unbuilt flying boat designs that had as its core mission to seek out and destroy the SSBNs in remote ocean areas. The Beriev A-150 built on the design bureau's already extensive expertise in flying boats that included the jet powered Be-10 that saw limited service with the AV-MF (naval air force) in the 1950s. The A-150 was to have been a multi-role amphibian with a large delta wing that bestowed on it a large internal volume for missions that not only included long range anti-submarine warfare, but also anti-suface vessel warfare, maritime reconnaissance, search and rescue and an inflight tanker. In addition, Beriev developed transport variants that not only had military roles, but could also have been used for resource development in the Soviet Far East where ground networks of roads and rails were near non-existent.
The A-150 would have been 163 feet long with a wingspan of 137 feet. Paired nacelles above the wings would have housed Kuznetsov NK-8 turbofans (used on the Il-62 and Tu-154 jetliners). In addition, twelve Kolesov RD36 lift engines would have been installed in the leading edge roots to help shorten the takeoff run of the A-150. Inside the wing center section on each side of the fuselage were equipment bays that could accommodate interchangeable mission pods depending upon the mission tasking. Each bay and mission pods had standardized connections allowing the A-150 to be retasked in minimal time. Each pod had a volume of just over a thousand cubic feet. Some pods were weapons bays, others included ASW equipment like dunking sonar, sonobuoys and torpedoes. With a crew of 5 and a range of nearly 11,000 miles, the A-150 would have been an impressive machine.
Beriev also developed the A-150DT version which had a larger fuselage and a clamshell "tailgate" that allowed heavy loads to be driven directly into the fuselage cargo deck. The total cargo capacity of the A-150DT was nearly 70,000 lbs and it had 16 instead of 12 RD36 lift engines to handle the increased weight. There was even exploration of a VTOL version with 32 lift engines! The A-150DT was intended as an assault transport but its capabilities also made it useful in Siberian resource development and supporting the Soviet fishing fleet at sea. The assault transport version also had two twin-cannon turrets, one for the tail and one in the nose section.
Ultimately Beriev's ambitious A-150 proved to be too much aircraft for the prevailing technology of the day and the Soviet answer to the American SSBN fleet was to increase its own fleet of nuclear-powered hunter killer subs (SSNs).

Before investing in a drone, you in all probability have many questions operating by way of your mind. Issues equivalent to how far can a drone fly from controller or perhaps even the legal guidelines about drones flying over personal property. Taking a second to read this and achieve insight is not going to only assist you be higher prepared in your new quadcopter, but in addition enable you to determine which model you will select. Drones are composed of light materials to ensure that it’s weight to be reduced whereas rising maneuverability at the identical time.
There are two primary parts: the management system and the drone itself. With a wide variety of sizes, there’s an possibility for everybody to love. Even description here has their very own kind, however these aren’t something like the ones you’d purchase for recreation. The kind that’s manufactured for fun are referred to as VTOL, this means “vertical take-off and landing”.
If you’ve ever seen somebody fly a drone, then you realize this is precisely how they work. When you purchase a drone, there are lots of options you need to look for. Many questions run by way of your head, resembling how far can it fly or perhaps how one can avoid dropping it. An important question it is best to never overlook is how lengthy are you able to fly a drone.
With car track race in recognition, drones have been extremely wished for enjoyable and personal use. Primarily utilized by photographers, but also are used purely as a pastime to discover how the world looks from a special perspective. Considered my latest blog post of the most typical questions that people ask. Even when somebody sees one other person flying a drone, this can be a question that puzzles somebody a lot that they will approach the proprietor to find out. The reality to a drones vary functionality is that it relies upon.
- Quality of image/picture: 4K top quality
- Transmitter: 2.4Ghz 4 channels
- Store your drone in a dry, non-magnetic place at around 25°C (77°F)
- More to come
- Get A Digital camera Drone With Lengthy Flight Time
- The controls are straight ahead and simple to learn
Since a latest court docket ruling discovered that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) can’t require hobbyists to register their drones, you possibly can just take the Spark out of the field and start flying for fun. If you’re utilizing it for business purposes, these rules still apply. That’s a part of why it took two folks to review this chunk-sized little quadcopter. Michael is a licensed industrial drone pilot, so he manned the controls.
Adam is a recreational pilot, so he worked as the spotter (and photographer). And to be an actual dad about it, you must at all times do your drone flights with a pal. On the very least, two sets of eyes are available handy, when you’re trying to keep your eye on the aircraft. Since their website is so small, you’ll need all the help you can get.

A scramjet (supersonic combustion ramjet) is a variant of a ramjet airbreathing jet engine in which combustion takes place in supersonic in ramjets, a scramjet relies on high vehicle speed to compress the incoming air forcefully before combustion (hence ramjet), but whereas a ramjet decelerates the air to subsonic velocities before combustion, the airflow in a scramjet is supersonic. -- NASA Langley Arc-Heated Scramjet Test Facility: Langley Foot Diameter Vacuum Sphere. This is a photograph of the foot diameter vacuum sphere, located behind Building B. The photo was taken in , several years prior to construction of the Mach 7 Scramjet Test Facility (now called the Arc-Heated Scramjet Test Facility). NASA Langley's specialized research facilities enable the center to perform world-class research in aeronautics, atmospheric sciences and space technology. Langley's wind tunnels allow engineers to conduct testing that encompasses the entire speed range from 0 mph to nearly M or approximat mph. The NASA Langley Scramjet Test Complex consists of five propulsion facilities which cover a wide spectrum of supersonic combustion ramjet (scramjet) test capabilities. These facilities permit observation of the effects on scramjet performance of speed and dynamic pressure from Mach to nearorbital speeds, engine size from Mach 4 to 7, and.

This wind-tunnel has a 96 in. long test chamber with a height of 42 in. and a width of 30 in., and was designed specifically for free-jet testing of complete scramjet flowpaths. This test program utilized the Mach facility nozzle, which has a square exit with dimensions of m x m (in x in.). The current experimental study at Mach 7 was carried out to investigate the viscous flow effects in a scramjet inlet with a fixed geometry operating at Mach In the Mach to 8 speed range, the complex includes a direct-connect combustor test facility, two small-scale complete engine test facilities, and a large-scale complete engine test facility. The XA's second flight at 28 meters was the first successful demonstration of scramjet technology, which eventually will propel an aircraft into suborbital flight above the atmosphere at.
In tests were made in Australia under the guidance of Professor Ray Stalker in the T3 ground test facility at ANU. The first successful flight test of a Scramjet was performed by Russia in It was an axisymmetric hydrogen-fueled dual-mode scramjet developed by Central Institute of Aviation Motors (CIAM), Moscow in the late s. The Langley Research Center (LaRC or NASA Langley) located in Hampton, Virginia, United States, is the oldest of NASA's field centers.

The following is from Space.com
“NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft is hurtling toward the asteroid Didymos and its moonlet Dimorphos, and it’ll reach its target tonight (Sept. 26). At 7:14 p.m. EDT (2314 GMT), if all goes well, DART will crash into Dimorphos in an attempt to alter the moonlet’s trajectory. The mission is meant to test the theory that this technique could be used to divert an asteroid heading straight for Earth.
While neither Dimorphos nor Didymos pose a threat to our planet, and nothing that happens today can change that, the results of the DART mission will provide crucial data for scientists and engineers to develop plans for planetary defense. DART, which is managed for NASA by Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), marks the first-ever planetary defense test. You can watch the DART asteroid impact live online, courtesy of NASA, beginning at 6 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT).”
As DART approaches Dimorphos, it will use its sole instrument, the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO), to autonomously navigate to its impact zone. Considering that scientists estimate Dimorphos has a diameter of just 560 feet (170 meters), that’s no easy task.
“Dimorphos is a tiny asteroid,” Tom Statler, the mission’s program scientist at NASA, said during the news conference. “We’ve never seen it up close, we don’t know what it looks like, we don’t know what the shape is. And that’s just one of the things that leads to the technical challenges of DART. Hitting an asteroid is a tough thing to do.”
For context, Elena Adams, DART mission systems engineer at JHUAPL, said that DRACO won’t even spot Dimorphos until about an hour before impact, at which point it’ll be just one pixel in DRACO’s field of view. “At three minutes prior to impact, two minutes prior to impact, it is 42 pixels in size,” Adams said during the news conference. | aerospace |

|Micro summary:||This Super Puma successfully ditched in the North Sea following a rotor failure.|
|Event Time:||1995-01-19 at 1240|
|Publishing Agency:||Aircraft Accident Investigation Board (AAIB)|
|Publishing Country:||United Kingdom|
|Site of event:||6 nm south-west of the Brae 'A' oil production|
|Departure:||Aberdeen Airport, Dyce, Scotland|
|Airplane Type(s):||Aerospatiale AS332L Super Puma|
|Operator(s):||Bristow Helicopters Limited|
|Type of flight:||Revenue|
|Executive Summary:||The helicopter was conducting a charter flight, ferrying 16 maintenance engineers from Aberdeen to the Brae oilfield. Having just passed a position 120 nm on the 062° radial from the Aberdeen VHF omnirange (VOR) radio beacon, and whilst beginning its descent from 3,000 feet above mean sea level (amsl), the helicopter was struck by lightning. This resulted in severe vibration which, a few minutes later, developed into a loss of tail rotor control, necessitating an immediate ditching in heavy seas. The ditching was executed successfully and the helicopter remained upright enabling the passengers and crew to board a heliraft, from which they were subsequently rescued. There were no injuries sustained and the passengers and crew were later returned to Aberdeen by helicopter and ship. |
Despite six to seven metre waves and a 30kt southerly wind, the helicopter remained afloat for some three hours and thirty minutes before it was brought alongside a safety vessel. However, whilst secured to this vessel the helicopter's flotation bags punctured and it sank some two hours later, at 1803 hours.
The investigation identified the following causal factors:
1. One of the carbon composite tail rotor blades suffered a lightning strike which exceeded its lightning protection provisions, causing significant damage and mass loss.
2. The dynamic response of the gearbox/pylon boom assembly to the tail rotor system imbalance induced rapid cyclic overstressing of the gearbox attachments which was accelerated by the early failure of the upper mounting bolt locking wire, allowing consequent loosening and fatigue failure of this bolt.
3. Complete loss of the yaw control system and a momentary pitch-down as a result of detachment of the tail rotor, gearbox and pitch servo assembly.
4. The lightning strike protection provisions on this design of carbon composite tail rotor blade were inadequate due to it having been developed from an earlier fibreglass blade which had been certificated to lightning test criteria which have since become obsolete. Eight Safety Recommendations have been madeas a result of this investigation.

by K2 News Desk, email@example.com
A ground and air search continued Wednesday after a plane carrying four passengers did not make a scheduled landing in Casper yesterday afternoon.
The last known contact with the Texas-based plane was about 60 miles Southeast of Casper, in the Laramie mountains. Search efforts are being focused in that area.
The plane is a single engine Piper Saratoga model (shown below) registered to Texas resident Chuck Ford. Ford is reportedly among the 4 people missing.
According to Jeanne Stone-Hunter of the Civil Air Patrol, a search Tuesday night found nothing. Search efforts Wednesday morning and afternoon were also unsuccessful. The Albany County Sheriff's Office has two crews on the ground searching as well. As of Wednesday evening, those crews also found nothing. | aerospace |
