Pilots from the Nanhai Fleet flotilla, which is patrolling the South China Sea, fulfilled the flight task in dim light and against strong winds.
The move means that the Chinese pilots have mastered the technique of landing round the clock on all types of Chinese naval vessels equipped with landing platforms, said Zhou Xun, deputy commander of the helicopter regiment.
The low-altitude flight training missions are part of the flotilla's annual schedule, which includes combat drills in the South China Sea, the West Pacific Ocean and the east Indian Ocean.
The three-ship flotilla, which consists of amphibious landing craft Changbaishan and destroyers Wuhan and Haikou, left from a military port in south China's Hainan Province on Monday.
Changbaishan is the country's largest landing ship by gross tonnage and is equipped with an advanced weapons system. Both Wuhan and Haikou have experience with major drills and escort missions in the Gulf of Aden.
Three helicopters and a company of marines are stationed aboard the ships.
Since Monday, the helicopter regiment has successfully completed about 100 training flights, which have improved its combat capability in a "complex environment," said Liu Dehua, a naval air force official with the Nanhai Fleet. | aerospace |

Web-based analysis tool for assessing TMI performance
Flight Schedule Analyzer (FSA) is a web-based analysis tool that assesses the performance of Traffic Management Initiatives (TMI). The dynamically generated reports in FSA allow the Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) community to monitor programs as they are executing. Performance reports show whether the Ground Delay Program (GDP) is delivering the requested rate and indicates why the desired rate is not being achieved. Compliance reports allow FAA personnel to monitor compliance with assigned control times and additional reports help identify data quality problems that may negatively impact program performance. Various drill-down features allow the user to interactively query the underlying database for additional flight information.
FSA allows the CDM community to eliminate unnecessary delays, by identifying and eliminating the causes of poor traffic initiative program performance. The key beneficiaries are:
- Airlines: FSA allows airlines to monitor flight performance during traffic initiatives in real-time. Summary reports, detailed flight information and full flight histories allow customers to identify and isolate issues causing discrepancies between TMI intention and execution, then take action to correct or prevent similar actions in the future.
- FAA: FAA personnel monitor traffic initiatives in real-time to spot issues and correct them, to ensure the TMI is executing as intended. Also, the FAA uses FSA reports to determine if the National Airspace System (NAS)/TMI performance is what is expected or intended and if not, isolate problems and take corrective action for future initiatives.
- Public: With improved efficiency and predictability with the implementation of traffic initiatives, the flying public experiences fewer delays. | aerospace |

Both the French and West German air forces built this aircraft to specifically do trainer and light attack missions. It was also made to do duties better than its predecessors.
Here are five interesting facts that you need to know about the Alpha Jet:
1. The specifications for a highly advanced training and technical support aircraft changed consistently throughout its development
The program was eventually considered a simple and inexpensive training version for the French. It was also a close air support and a battlefield reconnaissance version for the Germans.
2. The airframe features a twin-jet tandem two-seated layout
This specifically met the needs of both air forces. Conventional in its design, the alpha jet’s purpose is to train upcoming pilots with the intricacies of modern jet-powered flight and high-speed weapons delivery.
3. The twin-engine set was an essential specification for the German air force
The air force had endured severe aircraft attrition rates because of the accident-prone nature of the single-engine Lockheed F-104 Starfighter.
4. The aircraft could climb at a rate of 11,200 feet per minute
It can also reach a maximum listed speed of 620 miles per hour at sea level.
5. Google executives own and lease this aircraft from a private company named H211
In fact, the company reportedly operates an Alpha jet equipped with scientific instrumentation based at NASA’s AIM Research Center in California for research purposes. | aerospace |

Not content with the superb detailing both inside and out, or the highly realistic texturing and paint, our team went all out in re-creating nearly every detail in this powerful and historic aircraft.
A Refined Experience
Realism and immersion begins and ends in the cockpit. Faithful modeling lets you find every control and switch where it should be, with a very large amount of them fully functional and operable just as they are in the real aircraft. Systems have been extensively modeled, and the flight model is extremely realistic and challenging. Custom 3D gauges let you precisely monitor your aircraft while in flight, and our sophisticated cockpit lighting adds to the immersion on those pre-dawn sorties.
We are very grateful to have had the honour of consulting with a team of four veteran fighter pilots, representing 3800 in-type hours, keenly interested in helping us bring one of their most-loved jets to life. Their logged hours were in a combination of F-100C, D and F models, with the vast majority in the D. The combined experience of our consulting team was instrumental in allowing us to create a truly authentic reproduction.
The F-100D is our first release to feature our new Blackbird Simulations Aircraft Management System (MVAMS). This application runs outside of the simulator to present a wealth of functionality, ranging from setting default startup options, display options, preset comm channels and weapons load, defining aircraft specific keyboard and button mappings, to dynamically updating a weapons loadout while the simulator is running.
All F-100D users have the ability to configure and release bombs, use external drop tanks, fire guns, rockets and AIM-9 missiles, jettison station loads and pylons, activate and manually range the A-4 gun sight; all with appropriate effect on aircraft appearance and performance.
The Blackbird Simulations F-100D is ready to run with or without TacPack. If TacPack is present, it will detect this, integrating and offering appropriate extended functionality automatically. If TacPack is not present, the F-100D weapon systems will operate, but with some limitations.
TacPack users will enjoy some extended weapons system functionality and weapons visual and audio effects - and the ability to damage the simulated environment!.
Vertical Reality Simulations' TacPack software offers stand-alone weapons and warfare platforms for both Flight Simulator X and Prepar3d. It is a payware product and are not included with your purchase from Blackbird Simulations. An appropriate, platform specific version of the TacPack software is required for the above described extended functionality and integration in the Blackbird Simulations F-100D.
New! MVAMS Integration
As of June 2017, our innovative Blackbird Simulations Aircraft Management System (MVAMS) is now included with the F-100D package.
Our MVAMS utility runs outside the simulator in order to provide not only a unified location for adjusting configuration settings, but it also provides the means to incrementally update individual products to quickly address issues and make fixes when required, without having to have our customers download and reinstall new versions of the aircraft. This allows our customers to quickly discover and install any pending updates for their aircraft, ensuring that they are completely up-to-date with our latest fixes, changes, or technology.
New! Prepar3D V4 Compatibility
As of June 2017, the Blackbird Simulations F-100D has been updated for full compatibility in the new Prepar3d version 4!
"An exceptionally good aircraft add-on for FSX or P3D."
- excerpt from the review at Mutley's Hangar, where we are very proud to say the F-100D scored a 9.9/10 and received a Mutley's Hangar Gold Award! | aerospace |

American Airlines codeshared flights over Iraqi, Yemeni and Ukrainian airspace
in late 2014 and early 2015.
The U.S. prohibits flights over those warring countries and
the prohibition applies to foreign carriers as long as they are partnering on
the flight with a U.S. airline.
The fine resulted from 16 flights operated by Qatar, eight
of which went into Yemeni airspace, seven of which entered Iraqi airspace and
one of which clipped the boundary of Ukrainian airspace.
Since its last violation in early 2015, Qatar has

According to NASA, the best night to see the shower is this Wednesday into the early hours of Thursday. The peak of the meteor showers will be at 9 Wednesday night.
The Geminid meteor shower is caused when Earth passes through the dust of a stream of debris left by an asteroid. We see the Geminid meteor shower as the dust (meteoroids) burn up in Earth’s atmosphere creating meteors.
Geminids travel through Earth’s atmosphere at 78,000 mph and burn up far above the surface.
“Look kinda south, look above Orion a little bit and you’ll be able to see these,” said Eric Loberg, Taylor Planetarium Director at Museum of the Rockies. “They last a little longer in the sky than some of the typical meteors. That’s because the origin of this is an asteroid so it’s harder pieces. The harder pieces coming a little bit slower at Earth so they don’t burn up as fast and since they aren’t comet pieces they also take a little bit longer to separate. So it’s really nice meteors to see.”
If it’s not cloudy, you’ll want to get away from bright, city lights to see the meteors.

The General Electric (GE) and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will be transferring approximately 80% of the jet engine technology.
As reported earlier, India and the US were close to an agreement to jointly produce fighter jet engines during PM Modi’s visit to the US. According to unidentified sources, the deal is worth about seven billion dollars and negotiations are going on both sides regarding payment mechanisms, machinery procurement and tech transfer. According to reports, approval has been granted for this agreement by both India and US and they are now set to collaborate and now involves General Electric Co. partnering with state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. to produce engines for the Tejas light-combat aircraft.
No such engine technology from the US has been shared this widely before with other countries. Sources further stated that no country had ever received such a level of technology transfer from the US, the UK, or France.
This agreement is expected to boost India’s fighter jet programme as well as its air force. Strengthening of Mdi’s image is also expected as he looks forward to a third term in office in national elections next year.
The collaboration will take place as soon as the deal is signed between GE and HAL. The technology transfer will most likely take place in phases, with 80% of the value being added to the engine occurring in India within three years. | aerospace |

They can do everything from delivering goods and services to collecting samples and performing surveys. They can even be used to deliver food to the hungry or gather natural resources for communities in the outback. One of the most exciting uses for remotely piloted vehicles right now is collecting data from the remote corners of the earth. I am talking about using drones to monitor construction projects.
You’ve probably seen the videos where the remote control helicopter is hovering over a construction site and just drops a plate of concrete on it. It seems to be quite mesmerizing, but what is actually happening is that two remotely piloted aerial vehicles are swapping information. The helicopter collects the data from the sensors on the ground and sends it back to the computer screen in the control center. The computer then processes the data and uses it to determine the best way to complete the construction project. In other words, the drone is learning from the experience of the human operators. That’s a much more efficient way to go than simply shooting blindly from the sky.
Uses For A Drone
As you can imagine, there are many applications for this type of UAV, and they are only going to continue to grow in size and complexity. Just as humans need to operate UAVs safely and within the parameters of the law so do our machines. The first application of UAVs was for simple surveillance. Using a drone to scout out a building or an area to collect information has been around for a long time and is only becoming more sophisticated.
As technology improves, more sophisticated systems may seem like they are becoming an inevitable part of our lives. Still, not everyone is thrilled with the idea of unmanned aerial vehicles flying overhead and hover over their property. There are two main reasons why people are leery of this. The first is that they don’t understand how beneficial these flying robots could be, and the second is that they worry about it being too close to be of any use.
The truth is that using UAVs isn’t likely to pose a threat to your home, your loved ones, or even yourself. Most aerial drones fly at heights above 100 feet, which is well above most structures. They are designed so that they will stay out of the way of anything you want them to see, and they don’t fly near or into areas where people or animals may live. You might not have a problem with a small machine flying around your yard if you live in a peaceful neighborhood, but there is no reason why you shouldn’t feel comfortable letting a remote-controlled aerial vehicle fly over your back garden while you are away at work.
A Much Ado
One of the main reasons why there are so many uses for UAVs today is because they enable companies and other organizations to save a lot of money on operating costs. Instead of paying a lot of employees to handle the aerial work necessary for sending out flyers or conducting regular maintenance on the company’s warehouse, companies can let a remote-controlled aerial vehicle do it for them. This saves money on payroll because instead of paying an engineer or mechanic $500 per hour to monitor it, they can just hire a drone and let it do all the work. It is much more cost-efficient than leasing an expensive aircraft and paying for the pilots, fuel, and maintenance. Instead of hiring a commercial drone operator to fly over your property, you can simply contact a remote control machine and let it fly out over your property.
Another great use for UAVs comes in the form of disaster relief. If you’ve ever been in a situation where you had to evacuate your home due to a flood or tornado, then you know how useful it can be to have a UAV working in place to monitor the area. These drones may seem like just another machine, but they are actually capable of gathering data that can be used to determine where the flood occurred, how strong the winds were, and whether or not any buildings were damaged by the storm. They are also capable of finding out the cause of the flooding, which can help lessen damage and make repairs easier to perform on the spot. If the location of the flooding is difficult to pinpoint, then the water may have entered many different buildings causing extensive damage which could be costly to repair.
The last main use for a drone is actually for combat, or as some call it, aerial warfare. Military UAVs are generally used in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there are now even bases that operate UAVs in the United States. Remote-controlled aerial vehicles are able to loiter over a designated area, often for hours at a time, transmitting their information back to command centers. Since these types of unmanned aerial vehicles travel at speeds of more than six miles per second, they can actually come into contact with advancing enemy forces and transmit vital data back to the command center. For these reasons, any military base with UAVs must keep strict guidelines in place to prevent civilian casualties and hinder the enemy from using the area as a battlefield. | aerospace |

MOSCOW (AP) — A Soyuz capsule carrying three astronauts successfully docked with the International Space Station early Thursday, bringing the size of the crew at the orbiting outpost to six.
Michael Hopkins of the United States and Russians Oleg Kotov and Sergei Ryazansky traveled six hours in the capsule from the Russian-leased launch pad in Kazakhstan before linking up with the space station’s Russian Poisk research module at 6.45 a.m. Moscow time (0245GMT).
Kotov is the most experienced member of the crew with two six-month missions in space under his belt while Hopkins and Ryazansky are both on their first missions.

The incoming crew entered the station nearly two hours later where they were welcomed by Russia’s Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA’s Karen Nyberg and Italy’s Luca Parmitano who has been on the orbiting lab since May and will be returning to Earth in November.
The crew’s six-month mission will include a spacewalk with the Olympic torch.
Kotov and Ryazansky will have the honor of taking the Olympic torch into open space in November as part of the relay of the Olympic flame ahead of the Winter Games being held in Russia’s Sochi in February. The torch will not be lit however, because of safety concerns and will only arrive at the station in November with the next mission.
Shortly after entering the station Hopkins, Kotov and Ryazansky had a chat via a video-link with their families back at the Baikonur launch pad who saw them off more than eight hours before.
Radiant but visibly tired astronauts were yawning as they were talking to their families. They have been up for about 20 hours.
Hopkins’ mother described the launch as a “heart-stopping experience.”
“It was a pretty good ride, mom. It was a lot of fun,” Hopkins replied in the live broadcast on NASA TV.

Axiom Space, already involved in the development of a suit for future Artemis missions to the Moon, will now focus on creating a suit specifically designed for spacewalks in low-Earth orbit. On the other hand, Collins Aerospace will commence their efforts in developing spacesuits suitable for lunar missions.
The unveiling of NASA and Axiom Space’s Artemis spacesuit design showcased significant improvements in mobility and astronaut protection compared to the spacesuits currently in use. This marks a significant overhaul of spacesuit technology, which has largely remained unchanged for several decades.
With Axiom Space now directing their attention towards spacewalk spacesuits, we can anticipate the development of gear that will have more immediate applications than those intended for the future Artemis missions, which are still a few years away. Furthermore, the involvement of multiple companies in similar projects will offer NASA a broader range of options and foster innovation in these critical areas.
According to NASA, the assessments conducted by both vendors will not only provide the space agency with valuable insights but also offer redundancy in the use of different suit systems, both in low-Earth orbit and on the lunar surface. Each spacesuit will undergo evaluations to determine its performance in various gravitational fields and other conditions.
This is an exciting moment, as both companies have the opportunity to create remarkable next-generation spacesuits, allowing NASA to select the most suitable suit for their specific needs. Moreover, by engaging multiple companies in these tasks, NASA continues to foster a robust and competitive commercial space industry, which is crucial for long-term expansion.
Under the new tasks, Axiom Space and Collins Aerospace will expand the utilization of their existing suit systems. Both companies are expected to provide NASA with comprehensive suit capabilities until 2034, the end of the current performance period. Given the age of the spacesuits currently in use on the International Space Station, it will be fascinating to witness the deployment of new suits once they have been perfected. | aerospace |

- It had been due to land at Heathrow Airport from Nairobi.
- Royal airforce jet escorted the KQ aircraft
A British fighter jet intercepted a Kenya Airways plane flying from Nairobi to London on Thursday, amid a security scare.
The plane was diverted to Stansted Airport.
The Royal Air Force fighter jet, which was deployed from a nearby military base in London, escorted the Kenya Airways 787 aircraft as it was approaching London Heathrow Airport.
KQ Issues A Statement
Confirming the incident, Kenya Airways said the KQ Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner was en route from Nairobi to London Heathrow
“Headquarters received an alert of a potential security threat on board KQ100 operating from Nairobi to London Heathrow” read the statement partially
KQ management in conjunction with the authorities of the government of Kenya and the United Kingdom carried out a thorough risk assessment of the threat.
“The crew onboard were briefed, and all safety and security precautions were taken to ensure the safety and security of our crew and passengers on board.

The fluid dynamics group is conducting the wind tunnel experiments of unique conditions and discussing the fluid dynamics in such conditions. The Mars Wind Tunnel and the Magnetic Suspension and Balance System are used for this purpose.
・Mars Wind Tunnel
Currently, Mars airplanes are being studied as a new Mars exploration method. The atmospheric environment of Mars is very different from that of the earth, and the atmospheric density is approximately 1/100 of that of the earth. As a result, the aerodynamic force obtained by the wing is reduced, and since the flight is performed at a low Reynolds number, the performance of the wing is significantly reduced. To obtain the lift required for flight under such conditions, a high-speed flight is necessary so that the Mach number during flight increases. In addition, about 95% of the Martian atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide, which is very different from the atmospheric composition of the earth. With a common wind tunnel, it was difficult to produce a low Reynolds number and a high Mach number conditions. Therefore, our laboratory designed and developed a Martian atmospheric wind tunnel that can simulate compressible low-Reynolds number flow. The wind tunnel installed in the vacuum chamber can produce the compressible low-Reynolds-number flows, and the working gas can be replaced with any composition. Currently, we are studying the flow around a basic shape with a low Reynolds number, thin airfoil, and rotor blade using this wind tunnel.
1. Visualization and Measurement of Flow around Basic Shape
A blunt body such as a circular cylinder or a square cylinder is considered as a simplified shape or element shape of various objects such as buildings and bridges, cables, cars, etc., and the flow field has been investigated in the wide range of Reynolds and Mach numbers. However, compressible low-Reynolds-number flow is difficult to reproduce, and the current knowledge of the flow field is poor. Therefore, returning to the basic shape, we are working to clarify the flow around the basic shape in a compressible low-Reynolds-number environment that has not been elucidated so far. The figure below shows PSD and phase difference of pressure fluctuation on cylinder surface and schlieren visualization of the wake. In a common wind tunnel test, Mach number 0.5 is a high Reynolds number flow, so the Reynolds number dependence cannot be seen. By using the Mars wind tunnel, on the other hand, Reynolds number dependencies on the position of wake vortices and the phase difference in the cylinder span direction were observed.
|Schlieren visualization of flow over a circular cylinder at Mach number 0.5: (a) Re = 1000; (b) Re = 2000; (c) Re = 3000; (d) Re = 4000.|
|PSD and phase difference of pressure fluctuation: (a) Re = 2000; (b) Re = 3000; (c) Re = 4000; (d) Re = 5000.|
2. Visualization and Measurement of flow around thin Airfoil
In low-Reynolds-number flow, it is considered that wing performance is dominated by fluid phenomena such as laminar separation, turbulent transition, and reattachment. For incompressible low-Reynolds-number flow, various studies have been conducted to improve the wing performance at low-Reynolds-number flow by using a wing shape that mimics the wings of organisms such as insects and birds (biomimetics). However, it is unclear whether performance can also be improved in compressible low-Reynolds-number flows because the flight of organisms is in the low-Mach-number region. In this research, we are investigating those phenomena through visualization of flowfield and evaluation of wing performance of lift under compressible conditions, and are conducting research toward the realization of Mars aircraft. The figure below shows the surface pressure coefficient distribution of a wing with a serrated leading edge. The low-pressure region due to the vertical vortex generated in the serrated portion is observed, and it can be seen that the low-pressure region expands as the Mach number increases.
|Pressure distribution on a serrated wing with an attack angle of 6 degrees: a) Re = 11,000, M = 0.46; b) Re = 13,000, M = 0.64.|
3. Measurement of Pressure Distribution on Rotor Blade
It is known that in a low Reynolds number flow, a strong leading-edge vortex is formed on the rotor blade surface and the lift is increased. Therefore, it is considered that rotor aircraft are more suitable for flight than fixed-wing aircraft in the Martian atmosphere. In our team, we are measuring the pressure distribution with a high spatial resolution by applying PSP and elucidating the mechanism of lift increase due to the separation bubble at the leading edge. The left figure shows the rotor blade model illuminated with excitation light, and the right figure shows the pressure distribution obtained by PSP measurement, which shows a low-pressure region at the leading edge (bottom of the right figure). In addition, since PSP measurement in low-pressure environments has various difficulties, we are conducting researches to improve PSP measurements in low-pressure environments, such as evaluation of optimal experimental conditions and PSP measurement with variable oxygen concentrations.

MSBS is a system to levitate and support a wind tunnel model using the magnetic force generated by electromagnets placed around the flow channel. It can be used to solve the support interference problem that cannot be avoided in normal wind tunnel tests. This device can control the posture of the model with multiple degrees of freedom by changing the coil current in dynamic. In addition, the air force acting on the model can be estimated from the coil current value. In addition to static support, it is also possible to move the model as shown in the movie below. We are using two MSBS with different sizes, one of which is 0.3-m MSBS, which can be attached to the Tohoku-University basic aerodynamic research wind tunnel (T-BART). The other one is 1.0-m MSBS, which is owned by the Institute of Fluid Science, Tohoku University. This is the world’s largest MSBS and can be installed in a low-turbulence heat transfer wind tunnel.
1. Study on flow around a freestream-aligned circular cylinder (0.3-m MSBS)
The figure below shows a PIV measurement of a statically supported cylinder using 0.3-m MSBS, which enables us to measure the flow field without support interference and enables us to acquire highly accurate data even in problem settings that are easily affected by mechanical support devices. By measuring the velocity field in synchronization with the aerodynamic force, the relationship between the wake and the aerodynamics can be discussed. In addition, we have developed a wireless pressure measurement device that can be built into the model, which enables us to measure the pressure on the surface of the model synchronously.
|Statically supported cylinder using 0.3-m MSBS|
2. Study on dynamic wind tunnel testing of flow around a freestream-alined circular cylinder (1.0-m MSBS)
MSBS can be used for dynamic support as well as static support. The figure below shows the visualization of the wake in static (left side) and dynamic (right side) wind tunnel tests of a cylinder using 1.0-m MSBS. It is shown that the wake width increases when the excitation is matched to the fluctuating frequency of the wake, and it is clarified that the aerodynamic force acting on the cylinder is amplified. We can see that there is a difference in the vortex structure in the wake.
3. Improvement of model position detection method toward wind tunnel testing of a non-axisymmetric model using MSBS (1.0-m MSBS)
The MSBS operated at Tohoku University has been basically applied only to axisymmetric objects due to the characteristics of the model position detection method. However, for practical applications, such as aircraft models, it is necessary to support non-axisymmetric models. The figure below shows a mock-up of a spaceplane supported by 1.0-m MSBS. The model position detection method has been improved for wind tunnel testing of non-axisymmetrical objects and has been applied to tunnel testing of several kinds of model geometries.

After all, you might not have any knowledge about aviation itself or know where to begin in nurturing their passion. Hence, with the right approach, guidance, and resources, you can help your child’s dreams of becoming a pilot or an aviation professional take flight.
So buckle up as we unveil a few tips and strategies that will help you support your child’s passion for aviation, ensuring it stays ignited as they progress towards their goals.
Foster a Love for Aviation
- Introduce aviation-themed books and movies
Start by exposing your child to books and movies featuring aviation themes or stories. This will help them gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the field.
Book suggestions include “The Wright Brothers” by David McCullough, “Wind, Sand, and Stars” by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, and “The Spirit of St. Louis” by Charles Lindbergh.
Though some of these books have movie versions, a good recent movie suggestion would be “Top Gun: Maverick,” directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring the renowned Tom Cruise.
- Visit aviation museums and air shows

NASA's Vehicle Assembly Building Prepared for Multiple Rockets
The first step in the plan was to remove space shuttle-era work platforms, a project that presented numerous challenges. "Imagine having to use a crane to safely lower to the ground a structure the size of a large home," Lopez said. “That provides perspective on what it was like to remove the old shuttle work platforms.” There were eight box-like support structures surrounding the shuttles during stacking in the VAB. One box platform structure had been removed in 2009 in preparation for the launch of the Ares I-X test vehicle in October 2009. Each platform structure had work stands, connections for electricity, water, pneumatics and other commodities. “For this undertaking, we selected an experienced construction contractor to help us remove and demolish the work platforms,” said Lopez. Ivey's Construction Inc. of Merritt Island, Fla., began the task in early September. Working closely with NASA and other Kennedy contractors such as United Space Alliance and URS, as well as an on-call architectural and engineering firm BRPH, they helped ensure all systems in the VAB were disconnected from the platforms.
“There were several key factors to consider in order for platforms to be safely lowered to the floor, such as determining the center of gravity in each box platform section,” Lopez said. He noted that a few of the platforms were the size of a three-story building and weighed between 300,000 and 325,000 pounds. “The effort to lower each platform took place over several hours to ensure full control of the suspended load. They were then set on stanchions on the VAB floor,” said Lopez. “Once checkout was complete, the platforms were moved outside on a transporter where Ivey's Construction crews demolished the structures so the debris could be safely hauled away.” The effort also required a great deal of coordination to ensure the project was completed safely. "There are several renovation projects going on in the VAB right now," Lopez said. "Tour guests from the Kennedy visitor complex were coming through, so we made sure to coordinate the work so it could be completed with safety being our number one priority."
The next major project will be to install a new fire suppression system. “This will modernize the fire suppression water supply system and bring it up to modern codes,” he said. Other major renovation includes code upgrades and safety improvements to the VAB. Some of the utilities and systems slated for replacement have been used since the VAB was completed in 1966. This initial work will be required to support any launch vehicle operated from Launch Complex 39 and will allow NASA to begin modernizing the facilities while vehicle specific requirements are being developed. “Our plans for 2014 include awarding the constitution contract for the new access platforms, including related structures and systems required for the SLS,” Lopez said. Some of the current work has included removal of over 150 miles of obsolete Apollo- and shuttle-era cabling. This will make room for installation of more efficient, state-of-the-art command, communication, control and power systems needed to perform testing and verification prior to the SLS and other rockets being rolled out to the launch pad. | aerospace |

During a club excursion with four aeroplanes departing from Guadeloupe bound for the island of Dominica, the group gradually fell more and more behind schedule as it did not have proper control of the day’s programme.
Insufficient organisation of the excursion combined with the ‘group effect’ led to the crews returning to Guadeloupe under night VFR despite several of the pilots not having the recent experience required to fly in these conditions. This choice was the result of a consensus reached in a situation governed by strong time pressure that had not really been anticipated. The efforts of the members of the group to reach this consensus (sticking to the planned programme, consideration of personal constraints, desire not to let the restaurant owner down) may have overridden their motivation to objectively assess the risks of the situation for the entire group and alternative solutions (for example foregoing some of the planned programme or arranging to stay on the island overnight). As they were responsible for the delayed take-off at the start of the day, the pilots on board F-OGKO could have found it all the more difficult to envisage going against the group’s decision.
The night was dark, the sky was cloudy and it was raining when F-OGKO took off.
The investigation was not able to determine who was flying the aeroplane. However, the limited flight experience, and notably the lack of recent night flight experience of both pilots probably did not enable them to manage the difficulty represented by a take-off on a dark night towards the sea.
After take-off, the instant change from lit runway to total darkness over the sea, most probably deprived the pilot flying of external visual references and probably caused him to experience spatial disorientation. | aerospace |

Despite this, there are countless parts, both small and large, working together in an aircraft to keep it airborne. One part that the average passenger might not know about is the liquid level sensor. Regardless, this and other sensors play a major role in ensuring the proper function of an aircraft. This blog will explain the four main sensors on an aircraft: the liquid level sensor, temperature sensor, flow sensor, and airplane pressure sensor, and provide insight on the details of each sensor’s functions.

The aircraft, which consist of nine AS350s (ranging from B2 to B3 and B3+) and one EC130, are currently being assessed and inspected by HPN’s specialist MRO team as part of the Salus Aviation group’s recently finalised fleet management agreement with Air Methods. The agreement facilitates HPN to assess, refurbish and divest of AMC’s legacy aircraft and inventory in order to help the EMS provider renew their fleet.
Three of the ten initial aircraft, including the EC130, will be parted out based on particular module requirements from Air Methods. The other seven AS350s are being prepared to sell to the global market, with three immediately available for prospective buyers and the others currently being prepared for short turnaround. All aircraft are being made available with a range of configuration options, from “as-is” in their current EMS configuration, to “green” with paint stripped/primed and back wall and seats reinstated, or “fully reconfigured” to support the specific mission requirements of their potential new owners. Salus Aviation’s New Zealand-based subsidiary Oceania Aviation is managing the aircraft sales on behalf of the group, having over 25 years of aircraft sales experience and with team members based in the USA, Australia and New Zealand. HPN is managing the components and parts sales from the parted out aircraft, already being the single largest provider of overhauled and used Airbus components and Safran engines for the industry globally.
This first aircraft delivery and divestment process marks a significant milestone for the Salus Aviation group and their partnership with Air Methods Corporation. As well as managing costs for the EMS provider, the partnership will continue to provide a steady supply of high quality (and reconfigurable) EMS aircraft to the global aviation industry. | aerospace |

Few things are certain in air travel today, but one comes close: If you're on Delta Connection Flight 5283 from New York to Washington, you can expect to be late.
The flight had the nation's worst on-time performance in September, arriving late 100 percent of the time at Reagan National Airport, according to a recent government report.
Its average delay: 1 hour and 19 minutes. Actual flying time: 53 minutes. Much of the delay is spent on the tarmac, waiting for other planes to take off at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Airline industry experts said the Delta Connection flight is an extreme example of the worsening delays infuriating air travelers these days. Through the first nine months of the year, 24 percent of flights were delayed or canceled, part of a steady increase since the comparable period in 2003, when 17.5 percent of flights were late or scratched, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which tracks airline performance.
"There were 20 planes ahead of us for takeoff," said Scott Logsdon, 35, who on a recent night had already spent 12 hours on an international flight before hopping on the Delta Connection commuter jet. "I didn't have anything to read, so I just looked out the window and watched plane after plane take off ahead of us. It was kind of frustrating."
Many factors can delay a flight, particularly bad weather. But aviation consultants said broad industry trends were also behind the deteriorating performance, as passenger volume has increased but the number of flights has remained almost constant.
They blamed delays on the airlines trying to eke out profits by slashing jobs and reducing pay for mechanics and baggage handlers, who play crucial roles in getting planes out on time. Airlines also appear to be scheduling more flights during busy periods to better target business travelers who pay higher fares, which leads to gridlock on the runways and in the sky, industry experts said.
"We are experiencing some real operational problems in the industry," said Darryl Jenkins, an airline consultant. "The truth is you have a lot of problems going on."
The industry seems to be inching back to the severe delays experienced before the 2001 terror attacks, which caused air traffic to plummet, the experts said.
They warned travelers to expect delays during the upcoming holiday season.
"Much of the volume for November is really packed into three or four days," said Dean Headley, a marketing professor at Wichita State University and co-author of the annual "Airline Quality Rating" report. "Every seat is going to be full with somebody that has to be somewhere. . . . If there is the slightest glitch anywhere in the system, it can ripple through. There isn't much room for error."
For passengers, knowing which flights are often late can be difficult because the airlines generally don't publish such information. That can lead to frustration and confusion.
Passengers on the nation's poorest-performing flight said they would have found another way to Washington if they had known this Delta Connection flight was always late recently.
On Tuesday night, several people waited outside the security checkpoint for relatives and friends aboard the flight, which was scheduled to land at 7:32 p.m., according to the arrival monitors at the airport.
At 7:45 p.m., the monitors reported that the flight was on time.
At 8 p.m., the monitors still said the flight was on time.
Five minutes later, the flight vanished from the screens.
"That's kind of strange," said Edmond Pechaty, who was waiting for some friends. "It should have some kind of [status] on there. It's like it just disappears, like it doesn't exist."
Pechaty and the others waited another 20 minutes for friends and family members to emerge.
The Delta Connection flight is operated by Comair, which accounted for nearly half of flights delayed at least 80 percent of the time in September. Through the first nine months of the year, eight other flights were late 100 percent of the time for a month -- and Comair operated four of those, too.
Many of Comair's delayed flights landed at or originated from JFK, where the carrier has been expanding operations. Comair is a regional airline subsidiary of Delta Air Lines Inc., which is operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Comair spokeswoman Kate Marx blamed congestion and weather for many of the delays. She also faulted construction at the airport for increasing the carrier's taxi times, which were about seven minutes longer than the airport's average in September, data show.
But government data suggest that other airlines using JFK had fewer problems.
JetBlue Airways -- which operates far more flights out of JFK than Comair does -- had better on-time performance in September. JetBlue also did not have a single flight that was chronically late. JetBlue planes left their gates about 20 minutes faster, on average, than Comair jets, data show.
Comair and Delta are working to find better ways to schedule flights, Marx said. That could mean shifting flights or pushing back expected arrival times to more accurately reflect the total travel time. In December, for example, Comair expects to move up the Washington-bound flight's departure time to 5:55 p.m. from 6:30 p.m.
Marx said Comair is also adding ground staff at JFK to help turn planes around faster.
"We understand the frustration of our passengers," Marx said. "We are also disappointed in our performance results."
Overall, about 75 percent of flights from JFK left on time in September, down from 85 percent a year earlier.
The nation's poorest performing major airport in September was Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, where 65 percent of flights left on time. Airlines blamed construction and weather for the delays.
The Washington area's main airports performed about average on departures: 75 percent of flights left on time at Dulles, 82 percent at BWI and 83 percent at National.
For airlines, chronic delays on short-hop flights may be driving passengers to other modes of transportation.
Susan Cypra, a 37-year-old consultant, was on Washington-bound Delta Connection Flight 5283 on Tuesday. She took the same flight a month ago, and it was an hour late, she said.
At first, she said, the flight seemed like a good deal: It left at a convenient time and cost less than comparable trips out of New York's other airport, La Guardia.
But as she sat on the cramped commuter jet and listened to the pilot announce there were 25 planes ahead of them for takeoff, Cypra began to reconsider her decision to fly the country's least punctual flight.
She quickly did the math in her head: The cost and time of a cab ride to the airport, and then time lost in security, waiting at the gate, lingering on the taxiway and finally getting into the air. She arrived in Washington at 8:22 p.m., 50 minutes after the scheduled arrival, according to the airport monitors.
"I'm not going to take this plane again," Cypra concluded as she left the airport. "I'm going to take the train." | aerospace |

Since then, our technology has improved, and humanity has gone to even greater expeditions and achieved much more. But why did we stop going to the Moon?
Millions of people watched the astronauts make their first steps toward the most important moment in recent human history. Everyone watched everything from the preparation to the launch and the eventual step that changed mankind entirely. And, despite not discovering much on the Moon, it is still one of our greatest achievements.
This is one of the reasons why it took so long for NASA to green-light another mission to send people to the Moon again. Simply put, funding the endeavor is not worth the investment. But some people believe that answering this question brings you to a rabbit hole that is much deeper than it looks. Many believe the first moon landing was not as uneventful as the government wants us to remember.
This alternate theory was made even clearer when recent statements from the astronauts of the Apollo 14 mission were made public. The astronaut discussed how what we discovered on the Moon was simply too unexpected. He claims that we have already made contact with an alien civilization living on the Moon; frankly, we are outmatched.
These aliens allegedly live in a base on the dark side of the Moon, and our astronauts ran away as soon as they saw them. These aliens were far too advanced for us to deal with, and we were unprepared for the repercussions of attempting to make contact with them.
Dr. Edgar Mitchell also talked about the subject and said that even if NASA plans to go back to the Moon, it won’t happen because they are afraid of what may happen if we try to make contact again. Not even experts have an idea about the aliens’ full capabilities.
The race to the Moon was a battle between two superpowers. The competition for technological and scientific superiority between the United States and Russia led them to compete for first place in space exploration by landing men on the moon.
Both nations had ideological motives for a space race – America wanted to assert its dominance and demonstrate freedom from Soviet influence, whereas the Soviets wanted to show their strength as a socialist nation.
Though we haven’t gone back there since 1972, it does not mean that America has given up on space exploration. It’s just not our priority anymore.
In 1968, the United States was in the midst of a space race with the Soviet Union. The U.S. wanted to be the first to get a man on the Moon and win it for its side of World War II. The Soviet Union had already done so with their Luna program and America wanted to retaliate with Apollo 8’s flight around the Moon in December 1968 and then make a manned mission to land on it by 1969.
But something happened that year – Nixon was elected as President of the United States, which marked a new era of politics, one without urgency or an aggressive space program. One of Nixon’s first moves after assuming office was cancelling NASA’s planned Apollo program that would put men on Mars by 1979 and returning them safely to Earth by 1975.
We stopped going to the moon because the Soviet Union beat us to it.
The race to the moon pushed America to its limits. The Americans wanted to be the first ones on the moon, and with a few exceptions were willing to sacrifice anything for success–including their own lives.
There are many different reasons why we stopped going to the moon, but one of the most prevalent is that it was expensive. Seventy-five percent of the Apollo missions cost $40 billion and were funded by tax payers. It’s also unclear whether or not we learned everything that we wanted from those missions. . Additionally, after the Apollo missions, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was focused on other parts of space exploration.The highest goal of NASA after the moon missions was to send humans to Mars. Now that it’s been 50 years since we sent humans to Mars with all their scientific equipment, we are still a long way away from getting there. With all these costs and little success still behind us from this period in human space exploration, it may be time for us to consider exploring the moon again.
It’s been over 50 years since we went to the moon, so many people can’t figure out why we stopped going. Former astronauts are revealing the truth in a new documentary on National Geographic.
This document covers the history of our space program and what we can learn from the decisions made in the past. It also looks at how these decisions have affected not just NASA but also an entire generation of researchers and engineers who were drawn to space for their entire careers.
It’s difficult to know where to start with this document because it covers so much ground. In some ways, it can be seen as a history of NASA’s space program, or at least a view into the American side of it. It has interviews with multiple astronauts who are retired now and explore their personal histories with NASA and its missions.
For now, we probably won’t be seeing any missions toward the Moon soon. We may even send people to Mars before considering returning to the Moon. Knowing a definitive answer will lessen people’s concerns regardless of the real reason. | aerospace |

"Griffin came in with a commitment to and understanding that he had been assigned to repair Hubble if he could do it," said Wheeler, who is also an astronomy professor at the University of Texas in Austin.
Safety protocols implemented by NASA after the Columbia tragedy maintain that shuttle astronauts should be able to inspect and repair a shuttle in flight. The protocols also say that there should be a plan for rescuing shuttle astronauts if necessary.
The International Space Station, the destination for all shuttle flights except the Hubble mission, is considered a safe harbor for inspection, repair, and rescue.
But the space station is not an option for a shuttle that heads for Hubble.
Hubble and the space station have very different orbits, so the shuttle would not have enough fuel to change orbit and reach the station in an emergency.
Griffin and his colleagues were therefore forced to determine whether the shuttle could be safely inspected and repaired while in orbit near Hubble.
They also assessed the feasibility of keeping a backup shuttle ready for launch, should it be required for a rescue.
After an exhaustive analysis, NASA concluded that the answer is yes, Griffin announced.
Tests on recent shuttle flights proved the entire spaceship could be properly inspected—and most repairs could be made—in orbit. NASA will also keep a rescue shuttle on the launch pad during the Hubble mission.
"The safety of our crew conducting this mission will be as much as we can possibly do," Griffin said.
"All of you know beyond question, [and] we all as a nation now know, that flying the shuttle carries with it the risk of [loss of] life."
The Hubble repair mission announced today will be the fifth and likely last time a space shuttle will fly to the telescope.
Among the tasks to be performed will be the replacement of batteries, gyroscopes, and guidance sensors.
Also, two new instruments will be added to Hubble, greatly increasing its ability to peer deep into space and study the structure of the universe.
Hubble has already provided scientists with unprecedented information about black holes, fixed the age of the universe at 13.7 billion years, and helped popularize astronomy with stunning images.
Senator Barbara Mikulski, a Democrat from Maryland, joined Griffin for today's announcement.
She applauded the agency for reconsidering a service mission to Hubble.
"It's a great day for science, it's a great day for discovery, it's a great day for inspiration," she said. "Because that's one of the things that Hubble has meant to so many people."

In 1972, I turned 13 years old and NASA launched the exploratory space probe Pioneer 10. According to Leon Jaroff in Time magazine, the satellite's primary mission was to reach Jupiter, photograph it and its moons, and beam data to earth about the planet's magnetic field, radiation belts, and atmosphere. Scientists regarded this as a bold plan, because up until then no satellite had gone beyond Mars, and they feared the asteroid belt would destroy the satellite before it could reach its target.
But Pioneer 10 accomplished its mission and much, much more. Swinging past Jupiter in November 1973, the space probe was hurled at a higher rate of speed toward the edge of the solar system by the planet's immense gravity. At one billion miles from the sun, Pioneer 10 passed Saturn. At some two billion miles, it hurtled past Uranus; Neptune, at nearly three billion miles; Pluto, at almost four billion miles. By 1997, 25 years after its launch, Pioneer 10 was more than six billion miles from the sun.
And it's still going. Though now nearly 8 billion miles from the sun, the satellite keeps sending signals; some were received as recently as April 27, 2002. And despite that immense distance, Pioneer 10 continues to beam back radio signals to scientists on Earth. "Perhaps most remarkable," writes Jaroff, "is the fact that those signals emanate from an eight-watt transmitter, which radiates about as much power as a bedroom night-light, and take more than nine hours to reach Earth."
"The Little Satellite That Could" was not qualified to do what it did. Engineers designed Pioneer 10 with a useful life of only three years. But it has kept going and going and going. By simple longevity, its tiny eight-watt transmitter radio accomplished more than anyone thought possible.
So it is when we offer ourselves to serve the Lord. God can work even through someone with eight-watt abilities. God cannot work, however, through someone who quits. Listen even if you only have an 8-watt faith, God can use it. | aerospace |

Average UK salary
Currently employed in Scotland
What's it like?
Aircraft maintenance engineers or mechanics are responsible for checking the systems on aeroplanes and helicopters in between flights to ensure the aircraft is safe to fly. To work in aircraft maintenance, you will need specific qualifications and certification.
Just as pilots are trained and then licensed to fly, aircraft maintenance engineers are trained and licensed to maintain the aircraft to industry standard.
There are two types of maintenance:
- Line duties such as pre-flight checks, refuelling and minor avionics, electrical and mechanical tasks.
- Base maintenance in an aircraft hangar, when you’d do more stringent checks, fault diagnosis and repairs.
If you work in mechanics, you’d service the fuselage, engines, landing gear and airframe systems including any electrics associated with those systems.
If you focus on avionics, you’d check the electrical and electronic systems used for navigation, communications and flight control.
You would need to check the parts and systems, find any faults and decide if they can be fixed. You’d then organise or carry out the repairs.
It’s a responsible job; you’d need to check the aircraft carefully and be meticulous with your repairs.
You could work on commercial or private aircraft or work on military aircraft for the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy or the Army.

Grand swirling clouds on north north global warming belt of Jupiter
(NASA) – Numerous magnificent and swirling clouds in Jupiter's dynamic North North Temperate Belt are captured in NASA's Juno spacecraft image. This scene has several bright white "pop-up" clouds and a thorough storm known as a white oval.
This color enhanced image was taken at 1:58 p.m. On October 29, 2018 (4:58 pm EDT) at PDT, the spacecraft made Jupiter's 16th nearest flight.
At that time, Juno was at a latitude of about 40 degrees north, about 4,400 miles (7,000 kilometers) from the top of the planet's cloud.
Civil scientists Gerald Eichstädt and Sean Doran created this image using data from the spacecraft's JunoCam Imager.
JunoCam's native images can be read and processed by the public.

The spy network is being built by SpaceX's business unit Starshield under a $1.8 billion contract signed in 2021 with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
If successful, the program will significantly expand the ability of the US government and military to quickly identify potential targets almost anywhere on Earth. The SpaceX contract involves a new powerful spy system with hundreds of satellites and the capability to capture images of the Earth. It is unknown when the new satellite network will become operational and which other companies are involved in the program.
SpaceX did not respond to multiple requests from Reuters to comment on the contract, its role in it, and the details of satellite launches. The Pentagon, in turn, redirected the request to SpaceX and NRO. The latter acknowledged its mission to develop a complex satellite system and partnership with other government agencies, companies, research institutions, and countries, but declined to comment on the extent of SpaceX's involvement in the project.
"The National Reconnaissance Office is developing the most efficient, diverse, and resilient space reconnaissance and observation system the world has ever seen," a representative of NRO noted.
According to sources, the satellites can track targets on the ground and share this data with US intelligence and military. This enables the US government to quickly receive continuous images from almost any point on the Earth, aiding intelligence and military operations.
Since 2020, around ten prototypes have been launched, among other satellites on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets. The US government's database on objects in orbit shows that several SpaceX missions deployed some satellites that were never reported by the company or the government. Sources confirmed that these are prototypes for the Starshield network.
The planned Starshield network is separate from Starlink, SpaceX's commercial broadband group, which currently has around 5,500 global internet satellites. It is one of the most important capabilities of the US government in space, as it is designed to provide constant, comprehensive, and rapid coverage of activities on Earth.
"No one can hide," says one of the sources. | aerospace |

SPACE TOURISM: REGULATING PASSAGE TO THE HAPPIEST PLACE OFF EARTH
Copyright (c) 2006 Chapman Law Review; Catherine E. Parsons
“Interplanetary travel is now the only form of ‘conquest and empire’ compatible with civilization. Without it, the human mind, compelled to circle forever in its planetary goldfish bowl, must eventually stagnate.”
Since SpaceShipOne succeeded in winning the X PRIZE in October 2004, space tourism businesses have been booming with several companies in the race to become the first to send paying customers into suborbital space. As a result, states are already fighting over which will be the home to the first space resort and launch locations.
Space tourism is an excellent starting point for other private space endeavors. As a means of entertainment, it has the potential to bring in investors and enthusiasts, create immediate profit, and lay the groundwork for greater research and funding in other space applications. Like the aeronautics industry, private enthusiasts have challenged boundaries of man’s capabilities, and competitions have opened the door to a myriad of possibilities for private astronautics. Unlike the aeronautics industry, which was pushed to its limits by the necessities of war, private astronautics and space tourism have the opportunity to develop at their own pace. Total safety, not a struggle for survival, will be the industry’s first priority.
Russia was the first to offer space-hungry multi-millionaires a ride in the Soyuz spacecraft, coupled with a brief stay on the International Space Station (ISS). Organizations like the X PRIZE Foundation wanted more affordable commercial space travel; therefore, like the early aeronautics prize challenges, the Foundation spurred competition through a contest for glory, and a $10 million prize. As with the early aeronautics industry, private businesses are emerging and are eager to capitalize on the newly uncovered space tourism market by offering space rides exponentially cheaper than Russia.
Congress has responded to the promising industry by attempting to solidify domestic law in a manner that will secure public safety while still supporting the industry’s developing financial needs. Congress has also considered incentive plans in an attempt to stimulate investment. Whether Congress’s actions will benefit the industry remain to be seen, and there is still more the United States government can do to help the space tourism industry prosper.
This comment will explore the United States’ role in developing the law regulating space tourism. Part II discusses why space tourism, as a means of entertainment, is an excellent place to begin development of space travel technologies. Part III will provide an overview of the history of space tourism and the recent events leading up to the proliferation of this business. Part IV looks at the United States government’s response to this entirely new industry and the government’s impact on it.
II. Why Space Tourism is the Best Place to Begin
Space tourism is a very young industry and unique in many respects. As with any emerging industry, there are many questions surrounding its very existence. In these early years, all that space tourism can be is entertainment–a luxury good for the slightly space-obsessive and wealthy. A preliminary question must be addressed: why should space tourism be encouraged? The simple answer is: why not? The overarching answer is that history has demonstrated that there are three main ways to spur innovations in technology–war, necessity, and entertainment. Through entertainment, space tourism will at a minimum provide an opportunity for regular people to explore the unknown; the industry also has great potential to be a source of incredible technological innovations.
Immediately after the United States won the space race by placing a man on the moon, space exploration technology was no longer a priority in the United States’ Cold War agenda and was put on the political back-burner. As moon landings became routine, public interest and political support for National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) declined. Government development of manned space technology did not cease entirely, but it came close. The same space shuttles that went into service in 1981 are still NASA’s only means of transporting a human into space. NASA has continued its existence and made remarkable scientific findings despite its slim support, but after two space shuttle disasters have essentially grounded the fleet since 2003, NASA’s future is tenuous at best. Even President Bush’s recent proposal to include a return to the moon in NASA’s budget seems to have fallen on deaf ears, as congressional and public support concentrates on domestic issues. The public commitment to the space race that existed in the 1960’s is simply not there anymore; today, people only support tax expenditures in the interest of national defense or in response to necessity.
Waiting to investigate the vast possibilities of space exploration until emergencies arise will result in an inordinately small window of time to accomplish the difficult feats necessary to evade disaster. Emergencies triggering necessity include limited resources, the dying sun problem, asteroid strikes, and other planetary or stellar catastrophes–all of which are not theoretically pressing matters, at least to current knowledge. The necessity for escaping the planet is not immediate enough to motivate investment now–the initial monetary commitment for speculative and far-off profits is too great.
Entertainment, however, has proven to be the great motivator of the modern era. People in their spare time turn to a myriad of activities for entertainment, from video games and movies to skydiving and rock climbing. In the age of globalization and a consumer society, the latest gadgets and toys have put technology front and center in the casual entertainment arena. Most importantly, by its nature, entertainment has stressed safety within the expansion of its development.
War and necessity regularly foster demand before technology is fully developed, resulting in greater risks to safety than are normally permitted. However, in today’s consumer marketplace, particularly in the entertainment sector where luxury good lawsuits are a part of everyday business, such safety risks are not tolerated. Currently, the only market for space tourism is affluent space enthusiasts, and the main motivation for such an individual to purchase a ticket is simple enjoyment and entertainment. If this experience is not presented and maintained as safe as possible, then demand will disappear.
A prime example of the entertainment business driving technology is the video game industry’s effect on computer hardware. Sony’s most recent game console, the PlayStation 3, is still in development. This next generation in video game entertainment will feature the revolutionary Cell processor, a piece of hardware about the size of a thumbtack with processing power comparable to that of a supercomputer, ten times the power of the Pentium 4 processor.
With individuals and industries increasingly relying on computers and other technological advancements, companies like Sony can utilize entertainment as a means to recover development costs and generate initial profits. This consequently drives companies to create what consumers ultimately want: something smaller, better, and faster. Gamers willing to spend hundreds of dollars on video game systems and games provide funding for further computer technology research and development. This fuels creative ventures that, although less profitable in the short term, ultimately aid companies in discovering the technology of the future, both safely and efficiently.
In anticipation of this result, the impact of the Cell chip is already growing: IBM intends to use Sony’s Cell chip to run its new line of blade servers. Sony, Toshiba and IBM recently renewed their partnership for another five years. Originally developed for the entertainment industry in Sony’s PlayStation 3, the partnership is now fully “pitching to the defense, medical and entertainment industries.” This is an excellent example of not only how war, necessity and entertainment can drive the creation of technology, but also how entertainment can fund technology that will later assist in the defense and medical industries. Likewise, space exploration will develop from space entertainment, and with it will come prime capital and safe technology development, later creating the tools and systems necessary to enhance and sustain other industries, such as mineral gathering and deep space exploration.
III. A Brief History of Space Tourism and the Reach for Greater Heights
While the interest in space exploration is long standing, the exploration itself has only been attempted recently. Born from Cold War competition, the space race was a battle between governments, not private parties, and the governing laws were designed accordingly. Though government support has steadily decreased, private interest has continued to grow. With a little help from space hunting innovators, like the X PRIZE Foundation, the private sector is capitalizing on an opportunity that was never before legitimately considered by anyone other than science fiction writers. Reminiscent of early aviation competitions, the X PRIZE demonstrated that travel beyond what were the assumed upper boundaries for private parties was not only possible, but could also be extremely profitable. Even before the X PRIZE came to fruition, Russia made clear that there was a market for space tourism and sold the first space tourist tickets.
A. Russia’s New Enterprise
In 2001, Russia offered the first opportunity for private individuals to buy a ticket into space. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, seeking funds for its struggling space program and grossly indebted country, the Russian government began selling roundtrip tickets on a Soyuz spacecraft for a brief stay in the ISS. For $20 million, plus paperwork, and rigorous testing and training, one could take a trip off this world to the ISS. To date, Russia’s program has been relatively successful.
Initially, the United States government vehemently opposed Russia’s space tourism endeavor, fearing that inexperienced passengers without the requisite multilingual skills would jeopardize the missions. After repeated reassurances by the Russians, the United States government finally relented, but demanded that tourists sign tortuous waivers and liability agreements.
The first successful space tourist was Dennis Tito. Tito, a 60-year old California millionaire, was an investment fund manager and former NASA rocket scientist. In April 2001, Tito spent ten days in space after intense training with cosmonauts near Moscow. As the first space tourist, NASA required Tito to sign legal documents pledging that he and his heirs would not sue NASA if something went wrong. Furthermore, NASA required Tito to pay for anything he broke.
One year later, in April 2002, South African Mark Shuttleworth became the second civilian space tourist. The twenty-eight year old internet tycoon also became the first African to reach space. Traveling into space for more than entertainment, Shuttleworth purchased a seat to conduct AIDS and stem cell experiments. He called his trip “a working vacation.”
The third and most recent space tourist, though he preferred the more somber title of “space flight participant,” was Dr. Gregory Olsen. While training at Russia’s Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in 2004, the sixty-year old Olsen learned to speak elementary Russian and was educated about the basic Soyuz and ISS equipment. Though his original flight was postponed due to health concerns, in October 2005, he traveled on the Soyuz to the ISS. A New Jersey businessman and scientist, Olsen, like Shuttleworth, opted for a working vacation. Olsen used his time at the ISS to grow crystals for experimental use in infrared cameras, his company’s chief manufactured product. Once again, a tourist’s trip into space was about business, not just entertainment.
Wealthy celebrities have also been drawn to the idea of space travel. N’Sync pop star Lance Bass began training in June 2002 and had a guaranteed seat aboard the Soyuz for a trip in October 2002, but failed to accumulate the required funds in time. Even so, the publicity around his attempt to become, at the age of twenty-three, the youngest person to ever enter space, brought more widespread attention to space tourism. In June 2002, Supermodel Cindy Crawford also suggested she wanted the coveted Soyuz seat, but never actually signed up.
In May 2002, flight doctors at Russia’s Institute of Biomedical Problems in Moscow tested former NASA Associate Administrator for Policy Planning, Lori B. Garver, to see if she was physically able to make the trip. She is neither rich nor famous, but hoped to become a space tourist through gifts and sponsorship funding. Her goal was “to demonstrate that ordinary people could go to space.” Though she did not make the trip, her goal was already in other people’s minds.
As early as 1998, companies like Space Adventures, based in Arlington, Virginia, recognized the private interest in space travel. Russia used Space Adventures to locate customers financially capable of taking a ride to the ISS. Space Adventures has also provided space flight training, high altitude rides in Russian MiGs, and simulated zero gravity rides.
Early companies like Space Adventures helped foster the public’s hopes to travel in space, but were only able to provide an expensive avenue through a governmental body. In recent years, there has been a shift in reliance from government to the private market in commercial space travel. The private space race has largely mirrored aviation development of the beginning of the twentieth century.
B. The Early Days: First Aviation Competitions
Competition has furthered man’s attempts to leave the Earth’s surface for over a century. In the early 1900s, when aviation was in its infancy, hundreds of races, challenges, and prizes were offered, stimulating the advancement of aircraft technology. The Orteig prize of 1927 is one of the most famous, which offered a $25,000 prize to the first person to fly nonstop from New York to Paris. No government was yet willing to develop the technology, and no private sector had yet seen the profit-making potential of a flight across the ocean. The Orteig prize filled the gap, providing entertainment to the competition’s spectators, and money and glory to its winner. Nine teams attempted to cross the Atlantic and win the prize; Charles Lindbergh won the competition in the legendary Spirit of St. Louis.
Lindbergh’s small team of professionals proved that, with innovation and effort, long distance air travel was possible, and that such innovation did not require government-conglomerate sponsorship. At that time, Lindbergh’s simple, yet solid design was dramatically different from the direction conventional aviation was going; had it not been for the massive publicity generated by the competition, Lindbergh’s plane’s design would probably have never received the attention that it did. Within one year of the 1927 flight, Lindbergh’s aircraft was personally viewed by a quarter of all Americans. In only a few years, there was a substantial increase in the public’s interest and awareness of the aviation industry: a 400 percent increase in airplanes, a 300 percent increase in pilot’s license applications, and thirty times the number of commercial airline passengers. Lindbergh’s single flight has been rightfully credited for “starting a chain of events which directly triggered the multi-billion dollar commercial aviation industry of today.” Lindbergh’s flight created an increase in demand for air travel, which encouraged competition, decreased prices and improved performance. The everyday person could fly.
C. Recent Times: X PRIZE Brings a New Era
Following in Orteig’s footsteps, a small group of entrepreneurs decided that the world needed a Spirit of St. Louis experience to break the commercial space barrier. Hoping to gather the needed support to launch another major competition in innovation, Peter H. Diamandis, Byron K. Lichtenberg, Colette M. Bevis and Gregg E. Maryniak established the X PRIZE Foundation in 1995. The St. Louis community, the same roots of the Spirit of St. Louis Organization which backed Lindbergh almost seventy years earlier, answered their call. The X PRIZE Foundation began with ten members, each contributing $25,000; today, there are over sixty-five members.
The Foundation did not have a simple task in front of them. Before the X PRIZE Foundation could even announce its proposed competition, the Foundation had to make agreements with NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and other space and aviation organizations in order to ensure that they would cooperate. After securing approval from these entities, the X PRIZE Foundation announced the X PRIZE competition on May 18, 1996. By September 1997, over a dozen teams had registered to participate. In May 2004, the X PRIZE was renamed the ANSARI X PRIZE after Iranian entrepreneurs Anousheh and Amir Ansari, whose multi-million donation made the competition even more enticing.
The competition’s rules were simple: design and successfully launch a craft that could safely carry three adults above sixty-two miles, the traditionally recognized boundary between Earth and Space, and return them safely. Then, complete the flight again within two weeks, reusing at least ninety percent of the original craft. The competition’s requirements meant that the design had to be safe, largely reusable and cost-effective. If a team completed the challenge, the Foundation promised a $10 million prize–and the honor of being the Lindbergh of space. The competition was a major success. Twenty-six teams from seven countries entered the race. Most importantly, several unique concepts and designs, created under the ideas of simplicity, safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness were born.
Armadillo Aerospace designed a “brutally simple” hydrogen peroxide fueled rocket. John Carmack, a video game software design engineer, founded this small, unpaid team. Their re-entry design used a new compressible nose cone that crumples upon impact to absorb the shock. One of Canada’s teams, Canadian Arrow, brought back the German V2 rocket design. The team used research developed sixty years ago to create a modern, safe vertical rocket. The Da Vinci Project created perhaps the most innovative and unique concept of the ANSARI X-PRIZE competitors. Led by Brian Feeney, an expert in 3-D computer-aided design, the team created a balloon-launched spacecraft named Wild Fire. “Carried to 80,000 ft. by a reusable helium balloon, Wild Fire releases on ignition, takes an angular trajectory to clear the balloon, then fires straight up.” Also Canadian based, Da Vinci Project was staffed completely by volunteer labor. 500 workers generously gave over 100,000 man hours, making it the largest volunteer project in Canadian history.
Other teams designed a multitude of variations on rockets and launch mechanisms–ranging from vertical launch rockets to dual-system lifters and launchers. These were no longer science-fiction plans captured only on paper, they were being simulated and tested; concepts were becoming a reality.
D. The Sky is No Longer the Limit: SpaceShipOne Wins the X PRIZE, Honor and Glory
Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites’ TierOne Project won the ANSARI X PRIZE on October 4, 2004. This innovative aeronautics designer has created some of the most unique and intrinsically beautiful aircraft of modern times, and is particularly well-known for his kit planes that people can build themselves.
After Rutan announced his participation in the competition, he set his small team to work on a two-stage system. SpaceShipOne and White Knight worked almost flawlessly for all three launches. White Knight, a slow-rising, high-altitude aircraft, flew to an altitude of approximately 50,000 feet, then released SpaceShipOne from underneath it. Once clear of White Knight, SpaceShipOne ascended to over sixty-two vertical miles, powered by a rocket using essentially old tires and laughing gas for propulsion. Then, SpaceShipOne changed its wing format to a feathered position to gently float down into the atmosphere, and repositioned the wings to their original setting to glide to a landing. The ship did not even need a heat shield, a major design issue with NASA’s fleet. Rutan’s team received what little financial support it needed from Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen. From concept to launch, the TierOne Project cost only $25 million; the Rutan team created a reusable space ship for approximately the same price as one space ride with the Russians.
Rutan’s revolutionary idea eventually broke several records. On June 21, 2004, Mike Melvill became the first civilian pilot to cross the outer space barrier in Rutan’s SpaceShipOne, by just 408 feet. The test flight showed once again that a small group of innovators could perform more efficiently and cost effectively in an area believed to be only within the purview of governments. The public appeared to agree. Approximately 11,000 people went to the middle of the Mojave Desert to see the test launch; some even went the day before to sleep on the tarmac in order to get good seats. The event was broadcast live worldwide, demonstrating the popularity of the event. Seemingly, the private space bubble had been popped; Burt Rutan and his team had turned the hope that within this generation, everyday people would touch space, a little more plausible.
On September 29, 2004, Rutan’s SpaceShipOne flew for a second time, in its first flight for the ANSARI X PRIZE. The team also had a new sponsor–multi-millionaire Sir Richard Branson, of the Virgin conglomerate, saw the business opportunity of a lifetime and brought in Rutan and Allen to form Virgin Galactic, a subsidiary of the Virgin Corporation. Virgin Galactic is committed to using scaled-up versions of White Knight and SpaceShipOne (to be named White Knight Two and SpaceShipTwo) to take tourists into suborbital space, and is accepting reservations for rides launching as early as 2008. The current price tag is $200,000.00, one percent of the price of a Soyuz ride. Branson and Rutan also later created The Spaceship Company, which will build the new fleet of commercial ships.
On October 4, 2004, only a week later, SpaceShipOne, piloted by Brian Binnie, made its third successful trip to space and back, well within the two-week and ninety percent reuse requirements to win the $10 million X PRIZE. At 69.6 miles, Binnie also broke the X-15’s previous altitude record for a horizontal launch craft. More importantly, Rutan’s team knew what they accomplished would now make private space travel a reality.
E. Since the X PRIZE: The Cup and a Budding Industry
Following the success of the X PRIZE, the X PRIZE Foundation went a step further and created the X PRIZE Cup to motivate continuous invention and innovation. On October 9, 2005, the first X PRIZE Cup event was held, complete with a show depicting the history of aircraft and spacecraft and demonstrations by previous X PRIZE contenders. There was also the Eggs Prize, where middle school students competed against each other by building water rockets which had to safely launch a raw egg thirty meters into the air twice within two hours. Most importantly, the X PRIZE Foundation announced that, starting in 2006, it would have an annual X PRIZE Cup: “the Cup hopes to initiate multimillion-dollar prizes to incentivize continued breakthroughs in subortibal operations–prizes such as maximum altitude, farthest cross range, and fastest turn around time.” The X PRIZE Foundation wants to assure that interest and competitive ideas stay alive, though it has little to be worried about. Since the X PRIZE, space tourism companies have been springing up. The race is no longer just about glory; it is also about making money.
Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, created Blue Origin to develop low-cost space passenger vehicles of his own. On his ranch in Van Horn, Texas, Bezos is building a suborbital space launch facility that will test components to create a vertical take off and landing vehicle within the next seven years. In January 2005, Bezos’s company was still in the licensing stage, and working with the FAA to certify its launch site.
Armadillo Aerospace, though it did not win the X PRIZE, is still determined to be a contender in commercial space travel. Featured at the latest X PRIZE Cup event, Armadillo is researching and developing computer-controlled ethanol rocket vehicles for suborbital tourism flights.
Even more ambitious, Bigelow Aerospace, owned by Las Vegas businessman Robert Bigelow, is developing an orbiting space hotel. Nearing its testing phase, Bigelow has created a hotel in compact pieces that can be inflated and reassembled in space. The only challenge seems to be getting it into orbit. Taking from the X PRIZE model, Bigelow is offering a $50 million award in his America’s Space Prize competition. The prize will be awarded to the first independent United States group that develops a five or more crew spacecraft that can make at least two orbits, dock and orbit with the space hotel, and is at least eighty percent reusable.
With public interest in space travel soaring, more companies are joining the new space race. Several of the original X PRIZE contenders are still working on their concepts. Like the different airline companies, there are still a variety of niches to fill, and plenty of money to be made. But even with the increasing public interest and a myriad of space technology developments, there is concern that the legal hurdles may be insurmountable.
IV. United States Response to Space Tourism
After SpaceShipOne’s triumph at the ANSARI X PRIZE, many individuals and corporations hope to create a competitive private space industry. However, investors are concerned about how the United States government may respond to the growing industry. Stuart Witt, manager of the Mojave Spaceport, stated: “[t]he single biggest factor facing the private sector in reaching orbit or interplanetary or even reaching the surface of the moon is the Unites States Congress . . . . Frankly, I think that is the only issue.” Witt is not alone in his concern. Congress has responded to the call, but whether its actions will benefit the industry or bring about its downfall remain to be seen.
A. Congress Gets Involved
Over the past few years, Congress has considered involvement in the private space industry. Several House bills have been proposed trying to create investment incentives; however, none have survived. In 2003, Representative Ken Calvert proposed the Invest in Space Now Act of 2003. The Invest in Space Now Act recognized the United States’ potential to be the leader in space technology. The Act would have granted a tax credit for owners of stock in C-corporations that were qualified space transportation vehicle providers at the time the stock was issued.
In the same year, Representative Dana Rohrabacher proposed the Zero Gravity, Zero Tax Act of 2003. This Act would have excluded from gross income any “gain on the sale or exchange of any stock of a qualified space corporation.” Neither the Invest in Space Now Act nor the Zero Gravity, Zero Tax Act was signed into law.
In March 2005, Rohrabacher reintroduced the Zero Gravity, Zero Tax Act. Rohrabacher also introduced the Space and Aeronautics Prize Act which aimed to create a government prize system reminiscent of the X PRIZE. The Space and Aeronautics Prize Act would grant a cash award in recognition of achievements in research, development, and prototype demonstrations that have potential application to both public and private space endeavors.
While none of this legislation has been voted past the House floor, it demonstrates that congressional interest is growing, as members begin to understand the importance of the space tourism industry. Tax benefits and prize systems will encourage investment. During these formative years, it is equally important that Congress tread lightly when it comes to regulating space tourism to avoid stifling development.
B. Regulating Commercial Space Travel
Before the 1980s, there was no private space transportation industry; thus, there was no domestic regulation on the matter. There was, however, an international body of law governing space, consisting of treaties set during the Cold War era. All of the existing treaties have outdated ideas of how space would eventually be utilized, particularly requiring that all space developments be for the “common heritage of mankind.” It is uncertain whether the space treaties, which make no reference to space “tourists,” even apply to the private space tourism industry; thus, the treaties should be revisited, or even entirely replaced.
During the early 1980’s, “recognition of the value of commercial space transportation by U.S. government officials, and the ban of commercial payloads from flying aboard the Space Shuttle after the Challenger disaster, promoted the development of [the commercial space transportation industry] in the United States,” and in 1984, Congress passed the Commercial Space Launch Act to regulate future launches. Congress also created the Office of Commercial Space Transportation (OCST) within the Department of Transportation. The OCST was renamed the Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation (AST) and was transferred to the FAA in 1995. Until recently, however, it was uncertain whether the FAA and AST’s jurisdiction also covered space tourism.
Until December 2004, several agencies were competing for the jurisdiction over suborbital craft. These ships are designed to enter space using rocket power, and thus appeared to be under the purview of AST. However, several of these suborbital craft had two stages, behaving like airplanes for take-off and landing, and, therefore, appeared to be subject to the FAA’s Regulation and Certification Group, which regulates experimental aircraft. Regulation under either branch of the FAA could have meant death to the industry. AST’s licenses were set up for non-reusable rockets, which cost millions of dollars, but were “a sufficiently small fraction of the total” cost of launching commercial rockets. FAA experimental aircraft and passenger licenses, however, are equally expensive and their cost is a major hurdle for small and start-up businesses. Space tourism crafts desperately needed their own regime–existing regulatory systems did not properly fit these new vehicles, and the high cost of these systems threatened to destroy the industry.
1. The Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004
In October 2004, federal legislation was in a state of flux as House and Senate negotiations were underway. The industry was strongly pushing for “fly at your own risk” provisions and full independence with their safety standards. The industry argued that these open provisions and standards were essential for extra protection from lawsuits “because of the inherent risk involved with flying experimental spacecraft.” The responsive argument claimed that passengers would be “forced to give up their access to due process.”
After serious negotiations and compromises, President Bush signed the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004 (Space Launch Act) into law on December 23, 2004. The Space Launch Act replaces the original legislation from 1984, now under the purview of the AST, but the Act also distinguishes commercial human space flight as its own industry in many regards. According to Senator Inhofe, sections were modified in order to remove governmental barriers to the space tourism business and to protect the budding industry.
The Space Launch Act enacted some major protections for space tourism businesses. Most importantly, the industry won its “fly at your own risk” clause in 49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(b)(5) which allows a licensed party to carry space flight participants only if they “inform the space flight participant in writing about the risks of the launch and reentry, including the safety record of the launch or reentry vehicle type,” and that the United States government has not certified the vehicle as safe. After being fully informed, the participant must also give written consent. This appears to give space tourism businesses a great deal of freedom.
The Space Launch Act also includes the commercial human space flight industry in its temporary indemnification and insurance scheme which requires participants to purchase insurance, but also indemnifies participants up to $1.5 billion beyond the insurance cap. This is a major economic protection to the industry, shielding them “from high insurance costs due to the risk of even a single catastrophic event.”
49 U.S.C.A. § 70105a created an entirely new, experimental permit for reusable suborbital rockets, allowing research and development to test new design concepts, equipment, or techniques, and to facilitate crew training. The permit also grants an unlimited number of launches and reentries for the covered design, eliminating the burden and cost of securing a new license for each test. In 49 U.S.C.A. § 70104, which provides restrictions on launches, operations, and reentries, subsection (d) specifically notes that regulations may only require one license or permit “to conduct activities involving crew or space flight participants, including launch and reentry . . . .”
49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(c) was the major compromise. Favorable to the industry, 49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(c)(2) allows only minimal regulations on space tourism vehicles. This section allows only regulations that prohibit design features that have resulted in a serious or fatal injury, or that may contribute to events that pose a high risk of causing a serious or fatal injury. In 2012, however, pursuant to 49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(c)(3), full regulatory control will pass to the FAA. Assuming the first commercial space flights launch on schedule, the FAA will have the power to regulate all aspects of the space tourism industry after only five years of operation with actual space tourists.
49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(a)(2) grants the FAA power, when granting licenses and permits, to regulate safety standards for launch vehicles, reentry vehicles and crews, so long as it does not interfere with 49 U.S.C.A. §§ 70105 (b) and (c). This narrows the interpretation of 49 U.S.C.A. §§ 70105 (b) and (c) dramatically; demonstrating that these sections were not intended to be full blanket exceptions, particularly with respect to crew members.
Aside from the Space Launch Act’s eight-year termination of self-regulation, there are other provisions that give immediate regulatory power to the FAA over persons involved, both as customers and crew. 49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(b)(4) mandates that crews must receive training and pass medical standards as determined by the FAA, and that all crews must be fully informed in writing that the United States government has not certified the launch vehicle as safe. Furthermore, 49 U.S.C.A. § 70105(b)(6)(A) also gives the FAA power to create regulations that will require physical examinations, medical and training requirements for space flight participants, but this clause terminates in December 2007. Thus, even though the Space Launch Act seems to represent the industry’s freedom to regulate itself, the FAA still retains some control.
2. Space Wars on Paper: The Fight in Congress and Their Interpretations
Several members of Congress recognize that space tourism will play an important role in the future of space technology and that space tourism requires a proper foundation in order to prosper. “Failing to provide a precise and consistent form of management will negatively affect the industry’s ability to plan for its future, compete with international providers and attract financing from investors.” Supporters felt that
[t]his is about a lot more than joyrides in space, although there is nothing wrong with such an enterprise. This is about the future of the U.S. aerospace industry. As in most areas of American enterprise, the greatest innovations in aerospace are most likely to come from small entrepreneurs . . . . The goal of this bill is to promote robust experimentation, to make sure that entrepreneurs and inventors have the incentives and the capabilities they need to pursue their ideas. That is important to our Nation’s future.
Supporters further contended these trailblazing space entrepreneurs “just need government to get out of the way,” but still “are seeking a government regulatory regime that will provide predictability, . . . stability and support to help them attract private capital . . . . In short, this industry requires government regulation, but not so much regulation as to stifle it.”
Supporters in Congress’ main argument was balance–creating a regulatory system that would protect crew and general public, while still giving the industry the most latitude possible to experiment. California Republican representative Dana Rohrabacher, who sponsored the bill, said that “[o]verall, the bill will help get this new industry on its way and on its feet and give the existing space launch industry more time to grow.” The House almost unanimously agreed that commercial human space flight should be officially placed under the AST, and that issuance of permits and licenses needed to be streamlined. Other provisions, however, were not so warmly embraced.
49 U.S.C.A. § 70105 was the most controversial section of the Space Launch Act. Specifically, the liability waivers and eight-year buffer, which would temporarily restrain the FAA’s regulatory control, were hotly contested. Supporters wanted to allow developers freedom to experiment and generate start-up revenue, so long as the passengers were fully informed. The FAA must wait patiently for the industry to no longer be a “risky novelty. . . . . [I]t seems to me kind of silly to regulate Burt Rutan’s vehicle, which has flown three times, as if it was a Boeing 747. If we regulate it that way, then his craft will never evolve into the equivalent of a 747.”
Congressional opponents to the Space Launch Act believed its drafters were establishing freedom in the industry at the cost of safety, where someone would have to be killed before regulators could step in. The opponents also felt that the eight-year block before the FAA could regulate was similar to the FAA’s original, but inappropriate role as both promoter and watchdog of the aerospace industry. At a minimum, opponents wanted to delay the bill and more thoroughly discuss “when it would be appropriate to begin to regulate for the health and safety of passengers on these space crafts.”
Supporters responded that some regulation now is better than no regulation. They firmly believed that there needed to be an initial framework to create security for the industry and its investors. Supporters also noted that the bill would be the only way to protect the federal government from liability for licensed launches because the FAA would “continue to license private space flights without adequate authority to protect either the safety of the public or the finances of the government.” The Space Launch Act already represented “the most feasible compromise possible in this session of Congress.” Space flight technology will be developing for far longer than the Space Launch Act allows, and Congress should be cautious with its regulatory approach.
In the end, the Space Launch Act received the necessary two-thirds majority in the House, and “went virtually unmentioned on the Senate floor” when it passed in December 2004 “tacked onto a package of House bills that were approved by unanimous consent in the Senate. Representative Rohrabacher said it was “a ‘great victory for the future of America’s space efforts.”’ Representative James Oberstar has continued to contest the Space Launch Act, and in February 2005, introduced a bill, H.R. 656, to amend the Act to grant the FAA more regulatory powers, taking into account the “inherently risky nature of human space flight.”
After the Space Launch Act passed, Burt Rutan said that the “current regulatory system is [still] in need of repair and nearly destroyed his program.” The AST still has control over launches by private companies in the United States; their mission statement indicates they must ensure that these “activities do not harm public interests, including safety of the public and property as well as U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.” However, Rutan said that the process promulgated by the AST under the FAA “increased the risk for my test pilots. It did not reduce the risk to the non-involved public. It destroyed our safety policy of ‘always question the product, never defend it.”’ Rutan explained that the current process “is likely to be misapplied for the regulation of future commercial spaceliners,” just as it “was grossly misapplied for our research tests.” Rutan also explained that the FAA was already thin on staff and could not effectively regulate the airline industry. Eight years from now, giving the FAA even more power will only stretch the agency further, rendering it unable to quickly resolve regulatory problems.
3. The FAA Steps In: Proposed Regulations
Under 49 U.S.C.A. § 70120, the AST had twelve months to provide proposed regulations; these regulations would go into effect after eighteen months. In early 2005, the FAA began hearings to discuss the nature of these future regulations. FAA chief Marion Blakey recognized that “[i]t was more than 20 years after the Wright brothers’ first flight before government regulations concerning aviation were put into place.” Initial proposed guidelines required tourists to get physical exams and sign forms accepting the risks. Drafts of the FAA guidelines also stated that operators of these space vehicles should disclose to their customers their safety record and provide safety training before the launch. Pilots would be required to carry an FAA pilot certificate and pass a medical examination. The FAA proposed special training with particular emphasis on “abort scenarios, emergency operations and procedures that direct the vehicle away from the public in the event of a problem during flight.”
On December 29, 2005, the FAA released its proposed regulations for public review as mandated under the Space Launch Act. While the FAA interprets the Space Launch Act to mean that “the FAA has to wait for harm to occur or almost occur before it can impose restrictions, even against foreseeable harm,” it has interpreted its power to regulate crew training and qualifications broadly. The FAA already has certain design requirements within its proposed rules, such as defined environmental control, life support systems, and physical restraints for persons and objects. The FAA claims it is making these standards as part of its crew requirements because environmental controls are important for the crew to function efficiently, and space flight participants need to be restrained to keep them “from interfering with flight crew activities.” In the name of setting standards for their broad classification of crew members, the FAA has begun to intrude on the innovator’s territory. Public comment closed on February 27, 2006, and the official regulations will be released soon thereafter.
While the FAA claims it is allowing the industry itself “‘to determine the best way to meet the [regulatory] standards,”’ space entrepreneurs are still concerned that proposed and future regulations may stifle the space tourism business before it even begins. In response, these trailblazers have banded together to create the Industry Consensus Standards Organization, and resolved to establish their own industry requirements. Group member Michael Kelly told the House Infrastructure and Transportation’s subcommittee on aviation that “‘[i]f government regulates safety aspects of space fliers themselves, it would be tantamount to killing the industry.”’ On February 8, 2005, these entrepreneurs joined to officially become the Personal Spaceflight Federation, hoping “to work with federal regulators to help draw up the ‘rules of the road’ for suborbital space tourism.” The Federation’s goal is to press a greater self-policing model within the industry instead of regulation by an outside entity.
For commercial human space travel to thrive, the FAA must intrude as little as possible. The AST under the FAA already works with its parent, the Department of Transportation, in conjunction with the Secretary of Defense and the Administrator of NASA, to schedule commercial launches of satellites to prevent collisions and protect the public. The Space Launch Act already protects participants, requiring that tourists be informed and given the freedom to make their own risk evaluations.
The Space Launch Act’s notifications and “fly at your own risk” provisions are all that are truly needed to guarantee both the safety of future passengers and freedom of growth for the industry. However, some members of Congress feel that these requirements give too much power to space travel businesses, and that the Space Launch Act’s drafters allowed the industry’s “desire for profits to . . . interfere with the responsibility of maintaining safety and proper oversight.” Representative Oberstar claimed that the lack of immediate FAA control “could encourage a ‘tombstone mentality,’ in which regulators would have to stand by until someone got killed or seriously hurt.”
This claim is exaggerated. The industry has every incentive to hold itself to high safety standards in order to generate greater profit, and the Space Launch Act will also prevent any unscrupulous companies from overlooking safety entirely. In addition, the Space Launch Act does not mandate a fatality or even a serious injury before the government may step in: “[the FAA] may come in . . . [when] there is a risk.” The AST has unlimited authority to regulate in order to protect third parties, and the Space Launch Act gave a clear eight year timetable for when that unlimited authority will extend to passengers.
Another argument by opponents is that this timetable is too long before the FAA can fully regulate commercial space flight passengers; it is impractical for the FAA to be both promoting and monitoring the same business. Representative DeFazio compared it to when the FAA inherited the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)’s duty to promote the aeronautics industry; these conflicting responsibilities resulted in a tragic accident. Perhaps Representative DeFazio is correct that the FAA’s dual role will only lead to a similar tragedy in the space industry. The proper remedy, therefore, is for the FAA to allow the industry to both promote and regulate itself.
Space flight will be developing for far longer than eight years–it “‘is years from being routine, or even a mode of transportation per se. Transportation refers to reaching a desired destination. Space flight, for the foreseeable future, will be an end in itself.”’ The Space Launch Act has already granted expansive powers to the FAA, and giving the FAA full power after eight years may drive away investors. Both Congress and the FAA should refrain from interfering until they and the industry itself has “accumulated some actual experience with commercial operations” of space flight. Representative DeFazio’s example represented a catastrophic result from over sixty years of the FAA’s dual duties–and he is trying to compare it to an unlived eight.
There are several other flaws with Representative DeFazio’s analogy to early aeronautics and the FAA. When the aviation industry first began, it was not regulated for twenty years. Also, the sole reason the FAA was given the responsibility of promoting the aerospace industry was due to CAB’s over-regulation in the first place, which almost destroyed commercial air transportation.
During this eight-year buffer, the space industry will be charged with the task of foreseeing all possible dangerous scenarios and designing safety features and protocols to protect against them. After winning the X PRIZE, Burt Rutan said: “I absolutely have to develop a manned space tourism system that’s at least a hundred times safer than anything that’s ever flown man to space, and probably a lot more. I have to do that.”
As Burt Rutan explained, heavy FAA regulation may create a greater risk of harm to passengers and the public rather than lessen it. If design safety regulations are formalized, or if the FAA reads its limited powers in the Space Launch Act expansively, the space industry could fall into the dangerous habit of only doing the required minimum. While the hope is that the space industry would still go above and beyond the government’s regulations, since an accident could destroy any business, it still creates a very dangerous avenue for these businesses to avoid taking responsibility. In addition, instead of allowing designers the freedom to create optimal safety systems compatible with their unique creations, the FAA will constrict designers with mandatory, incompatible safety features that will only hinder development.
Representative Oberstar supports full regulation of the industry, and has asserted he “[does] not think we have ever overregulated safety.” Representative Oberstar dismissed industry concerns that the “FAA might not have the technology skills to deal with . . . a new class of vehicle. They would be groping around with this new class of vehicle and would not think creatively.” Representative Oberstar answered by listing jet aviation and Cirrus Aviation’s “all-composite general aviation aircraft that had never been attempted before” as examples of where the “FAA did not strangle that new technology in its crib but nurtured it along in a safe manner so that it could be safely deployed.” Representative DeFazio agreed, saying that “regulation at the outset” is the only way to prevent tragedy, “given the expertise of the FAA.”
Representative Oberstar’s jet aviation example fails because jet technology was developed during World War II in response to the German Messerschmitt Me 262, the first jet fighter. Because the technology was first developed for military rather than private use, the FAA had little involvement and safety standards were greatly relaxed. In addition, Representative Oberstar’s composite aircraft example is completely inaccurate. The Beech Starship, designed by Burt Rutan for Raytheon, was the first composite aircraft to obtain FAA certification. The FAA’s inexperience with this entirely new technology resulted in a series of expensive overlapping prophylactic requirements. The cost of attaining the FAA’s approval drove the Starship’s final price tag too high, which ultimately led to the demise of this unique aircraft. Only fifty-three Starships were built, and Raytheon has recently recalled and scrapped all leased Starships to save on support costs. Thus, despite Representative Oberstar’s positive portrayal of the FAA’s ability to regulate new technology, experience has shown that FAA regulation in newly innovated areas destroys original concepts before they take off.
As a last resort, opponents of the Space Launch Act question whether space tourism should be supported at all. Representative DeFazio argues that if “presumably much wealthier people [are] paying gigabucks to have the experience,” and “there are already entrepreneurs out there experimenting,” then “it is not necessary to attract entrepreneurs.” Representative DeFazio believes that paying customers may not be very knowledgeable and “would be subject to those risks without any regulation. It just does not seem necessary to promote this industry at this point in time.” However, regulating less is not the equivalent of “promoting” the industry, and allowing an industry to develop should not be regarded as a privilege.
“At your own risk” legislation recognizes that people willing to spend $200,000 to go to space are responsible enough to assess the dangers, and will also contribute funds to develop new types of spacecraft.
[T]his industry is at the stage when it is the preserve of visionaries and daredevils and adventurers. These are people who will fly at their own risk to try out new technologies. These are people who do not expect and should not expect to be protected by the government. Such protection would only stifle innovation.
The “fly at your own risk” provision in the Space Launch Act will “enable space tourists to be informed consumers.” If commercial spaceliners take all steps necessary to minimize the risk, fully-informed passengers can accept what danger remains. It appears that opponents to the “fly at your own risk” provision do not believe that adventurers willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to be strapped to the top of a pile of explosives and shot into the infinite black vacuum over sixty miles above the planet’s surface do not understand that what they are doing may be dangerous and hazardous to their health.
The public and passengers are further protected because of the need for capital–investments will be near impossible to obtain unless the industry is profitable. Space tourism in the first eight years (and likely for a good while thereafter) is a luxury good, a component of the entertainment industry. Like rollercoasters, part of the thrill is doing something a little dangerous. But no one needs to ride a rollercoaster, and no one will pay to ride one that is unsafe. If the industry does not hold itself to the highest levels of both safety and service, it will never be profitable or reach maturity.
Recognizing the immense task before them, the industry is asking for a clear and stable legal framework that gives them broad discretion needed to balance safety and experimental innovation. The industry is not requesting “the laissez faire approach which existed during the barnstorming days of aviation.” They are legitimately concerned that if the FAA exerts any additional restrictions, space tourism may be doomed before given an opportunity to begin. Rutan has already experienced this problem, and it almost “destroyed his program.”
Congress should support the space tourism industry’s development by maintaining a hands-off approach. This approach should extend beyond the initial eight years so that competition can fund other space technology outside entertainment. Similar to how video games funded the revolution in computer technology, space tourism as a form of entertainment will allow private entrepreneurs to participate in scientific research and exploration.
Dedicated dreamers like the X PRIZE Foundation, Burt Rutan, and Sir Richard Branson have worked tirelessly to make space tourism a reality. The spark needed to fuel the industry has launched a competitive business, with several companies fighting to be first to transport paying customers into space. As commercial space tourism develops in the coming years, consumers will take orbital rides, stay in space hotels, and go to low gravity resorts on the moon. Competition will increase, prices will drop, and the everyday family will get to ride the real Space Mountain. The space industry, not the FAA or AST or any other regulatory agency, is in the best position to make space travel both efficient and safe. As pure entertainment, it must offer the highest standards of safety and service. Space tourism will deliver one of the greatest experiences of this generation. “You really do get the feeling that you’ve touched the face of God.”
The question is whether the FAA and the bureaucracy should be able to control the design of a new space launch vehicle before there are any problems. Should then the space launch bureaucrats, the people who are in government, who are in public service override the entrepreneur, overside [sic] the scientist, override the experts and should they be in the pilot seat even if there is no indication that there is any problem with the design?
Now I think that would strangle the baby in the crib. In fact, it would destroy this fledgling industry and send it overseas. | aerospace |

His plan involves reusable rockets, methane fuel, and solar panels so that ships carrying 100 people paying about $140,000 each can start departing Earth for Mars as soon as the late 2020s. But who will be on those ships? Apparently not Elon Musk.
After Musk's talk at the International Astronautical Congress in Mexico, two audience members asked if he has plans to go to Mars along with the one million people he imagines sending there over an estimated 40 to 100 years. The first person asked simply whether he planned to go to Mars.
"I would like to go to orbit, visit the Space Station," Musk replied from the stage, and then after a small hesitation, continued, "and ultimately go to Mars."
But he added that, if he were to die trying to get there, he'd need a "good succession plan" at SpaceX so that profit-minded shareholders wouldn't divert the plan away from building a Mars colony. With the SpaceX technology being developed, you could theoretically fly across the Atlantic in 10 minutes—another, more Earthly money-making scheme.
A second audience member, who apparently wasn't listening to the first question, asked, "Will you be the first man on Mars?" This time around, Musk was explicit in his answer.
"The probability of death on the first mission is quite high," he replied. He said he wanted to see his kids grow up and implied that SpaceX needs him too much as a leader to have him bite the bullet on the way to the red planet. So no.
Musk is passionate about making humans an "interplanetary species" and said the opportunity to head to space should appeal to people with a sense of adventure who are excited about the future, and who are willing to die.
"If you want to be on the frontier, where things are super exciting even if it's dangerous, that's who we're appealing to," Musk said. "I would not suggest sending children. Are you prepared to die? If that's ok, you're a candidate for going."
So…. maybe that first flight should take some crash-test dummies to Mars rather than human guinea pigs. | aerospace |

I am trying to test my new controller for quadcopter using parrot mambo miniquadcopter model in Quadcopter project of matlab/simulink. However when I look at drone parameters in file vehicleVar.m there are some parameters that I dont understand. Can you explain for me the meaning of motor command? is it a physical term such as velocity or thrust? As I know, the thrust command can be trasform to motor velocity command directly, why in this project the thrust command need to be transform to motor command then to velocity.
Thank you very much!
recent works on 31 Oct 2023
In the MATLAB/Simulink Quadcopter project with the Parrot Mambo miniquadcopter model, the "motor command" is not a standard physical term like velocity or thrust but is used as an abstraction for the control input to the quadcopter's motors. It represents the control signals sent to each of the quadcopter's motors to control its behavior, typically ranging from 0 to 1.
The reason why the "thrust command" needs to be transformed into "motor command" before being used to control motor velocity is because it provides an intermediate step in the control process. The flight controller calculates the motor commands based on the desired thrust and other factors like desired orientation, stability, and control inputs. These motor commands are then used to adjust the motor speeds to achieve the desired thrust and attitude.
This transformation is necessary because the quadcopter's control system is more complex than a simple linear relationship between thrust and motor velocity. It takes into account various factors like the quadcopter's orientation, the motor dynamics, and the flight controller's control algorithms. The "motor command" values are used to ensure that the quadcopter can achieve stable and controlled flight based on the desired thrust and attitude. | aerospace |

San Diego, US, July 21st, 2023 — Sateliot, the first company to operate a Low-Earth orbit (LEO) 5G IoT satellite constellation, and Telefónica -through its Telefónica Tech and Telefónica Global Solutions (TGS) divisions- have successfully extended the reach of the 5G network to space for the first time in the history of telecommunications, paving the way for massive access to connectivity everywhere in the planet.
The achievement has been successfully tested end-to-end by providing satellite coverage extension to Telefónica’s cellular network through standard GSMA roaming. The test was witnessed by the European Space Agency.
Sateliot showcased the end-to-end transmission over Telefónica’s network using a regular SIM card provisioned on the Kite platform of Telefónica Tech on an IoT cellular device, seamlessly switching it to Sateliot network. The test demonstrated successfully that a standard roaming connection can be authenticated by the Telefónica core through Sateliot networks.
The test also featured the innovative ‘Store & Forward’ implementation, a two step authentication method developed and patented by Sateliot, created to support standard roaming with a Mobile Network Operator and adapted to the Non-Terrestrial Network in low earth orbit (NTN LEO).
"Sateliot has achieved an important milestone by successfully demonstrating the integration of Low-Earth orbit and NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) with roaming capabilities in Store&Forward mode, along with two-step authentication into a 5G cellular network. This significant achievement”, says Antonio Franchi, Head of Space for 5G and 6G Strategic Programme at the European Space Agency, “marks a disruptive advancement in the realm of standard satellite IoT services. The successful integration of these technologies paves the way for the digitalization of the world, revolutionizing how we harness satellite capabilities for the benefit of global connectivity and communication."
No more out-of-reach coverage for IoT devices
The Store & Forward technology is part of a Sateliot 5G network with satellite access that stores data when the satellite is not in position to connect with a ground station and forwards it as entering the coverage range. This is a particularly relevant feature for Sateliot’s delay-tolerant IoT services for its early-stage constellation, in which the number of satellites is still limited.
The positive results of the demo confirm that 5G IoT devices are able to transmit data through a standard roaming interface using the Store & Forward two step authentication method, ensuring Sateliot entering commercial operations in 2024.
The positive results of the test validate the further agreements between Sateliot and several stakeholders to improve millions of lives worldwide. Some case studies where Sateliot’s application is relevant include the support of 43 million Americans reliant on private water wells, the generation of millions of dollars in savings in maintenance and repairs costs for shipping companies, the assistance to South African livestock owners in their fight to stop poaching and improve herd control, and the provision of a much more precise crop-monitoring system to farmers worldwide.
Starting in 2024, Telefonica will be the first MNO to provide to their customers with a NB-IoT everywhere-in-the-planet connectivity through a seamless combination of cellular and satellite standard NB-IoT network and with inexpensive commercial standard NB-IoT devices.
Marco Guadalupi, CTO of Sateliot, says: “This is the culmination of years of studies and developments of our Store & Forward two-step authentication procedure that gives Sateliot a unique position to establish roaming extension for NB-IoT NTN delay tolerant applications. We are in front of a game changer in future 3GPP networks that will reduce costs based on low density constellations and reduced ground segment infrastructure, minimizing the impact in space and reducing time to market. It is very exciting to see where we are and what we have accomplished. The IoT industry is clearly headed toward the standard, and we are thrilled to enable it.”
Carlos Carazo, Technology & Technical Operations Director of IoT and Big Data at Telefónica Tech, said: “This is a very important milestone for the industry in which Telefónica natively integrates the satellite network with the NB-IoT networks of Telefónica and Kite, the managed IoT connectivity platform developed by Telefónica Tech with which the customer can control and monitor their power lines in real time and remotely from anywhere in the world through a web portal or via APIs”.
About Sateliot: IoT connectivity everywhere and for everyone
Sateliot is launching the first LEO satellite constellation based on the 5G standard, allowing unmodified commercial cellular NB-IoT NTN devices to connect from space. It is the first time in history that terrestrial cellular telecommunications seamlessly merge with satellite connectivity, and Sateliot is leading this revolution. Sateliot's cost-effective technology and the ability to use low-cost commercial devices (under $5) to connect to satellites opens up endless possibilities in the untapped market of massive IoT in remote areas. Sateliot's mission has a global impact: to make IoT connectivity available everywhere and for everyone.

A few days ago Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos, who introduced the topic of drones for the first time in 2013, presented the latest generation of aircraft.
Amazon’s latest marvel, called Prime Air, looks like a small aeroplane, can take off and land vertically and flies at a height of approx. 120 metres. This means that in selected regions goods can be delivered within 30 minutes.
The US air regulatory authority FAA is still displaying caution when it comes to the commercial use of small drones. It is only since March 2015 that Amazon’s drones have been allowed to be tested in the open. Critics have warned of the danger of crashes because of bad weather conditions and chaos in the air if too many delivery drones are underway without coordination.
Even now Amazon is working on drones for various environments and ranges of application and future models will also be able to avoid moving objects thanks to sensors.
The future could be that it will not be a postman bringing the parcel but a drone.
It is still not clear when it will come to drones bringing electrical items to building sites, but it is clear that this will be the case in a few years.
Now there are other international companies working on the topic of delivery by drones, such as e.g. the German Post office and UPS.

ALBANY — New York will invest $9 million to establish a small unmanned aerial test facility at the Griffiss International Airport in Central New York.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to make the announcement today as part of his State of the State address in Albany, his office told the USA TODAY Network New York.
The project in Rome will be a so-called skydome that has a year-round indoor UAS research facility to aid the experimentation of drone technology and techniques.
“New York's forward-thinking investment in drone technology is placing the Mohawk Valley on the global stage for this growing industry, Cuomo said in a statement.
“This groundbreaking project will help solidify the region's status as a national hub for innovation, support our emergency response capabilities and bolster our ongoing efforts to rebuild the upstate economy region by region.”
The state plans to redevelop an unoccupied hanger at the former air base "into a one-of-a-kind research and test facility," Cuomo said.
The indoor facility will help with efforts between the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate and the NY UAS Test Site at the airport, he said.
New York has been trying to capitalize on the emerging drone technology.
Cuomo in November announced the completion of the first in the nation, 50-mile unmanned traffic management drone corridor, running from Central New York to the Mohawk Valley.
Last July, the state developed a partnership with Israel to collaboration within the unmanned aircraft system sector in the Mohawk Valley. | aerospace |

The survey opened yesterday – at survey.spaceskills.org – and runs until 2nd June 2023.
It is open to all organisations employing space professionals – any organisation that uses space as part of their day-to-day operations is encouraged to respond. This includes companies that build and launch satellites, use Earth observation data, and build software for the space sector.
It’ll take you between 15 and 25 minutes to complete, it is estimated. The answers provided will remain confidential
“This is your opportunity to influence DSIT and the UK Space Agency,” writes the UKSA. “Your answers to this survey will directly feed into policy-making decisions at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and will be used by the UK Space Agency to inform funding of skills and training interventions.”
The survey is being carried out by Space Skills Alliance, who delivered the 2020 Space Census, and know.space, who delivered Size & Health of the UK Space Industry 2022.
The last such survey was carried out in 2020, and it identified a lack of supply of relevant skills to support future growth in the industry.
As well as noting the number of women employed in the industry was under-representative of the working age female population, Brexit was highlighted as a harming factor for growth, and limitations in the training infrastructure were also highlighted, along with an absence of conversion courses to allow people with relevant technical skills and qualifications to add a ‘space’ dimension.
Additionally, it found that courses in universities, though space-oriented, lag behind industry developments.

Here, you’ll find over 700 buildings in use, such as multi-use spaceports with industry partnerships, vehicle assembly, Space Station Factory, Launch Control Center, astronaut dorms, and the iconic Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex.
President Eisenhower established NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) in 1958 to “perform civilian research related to space flight and aeronautics.” Five years later, Lyndon Johnson designated the facilities the John F. Kennedy Space Center. Today, Kennedy Space Center sees 1.7 million guests per year (pre-COVID). It is “Florida’s Gateway to Space.” Here is everything you need to know about visiting Kennedy Space Center and what you should see and do there.
Tickets And Parking
You can purchase Kennedy Space Center tickets online or from the kiosk at the entrance. Parking will set you back $10, and admission prices are $57 for adults. There are discounts for children under 12 and on multiday tickets. You are permitted to bring in your own food and beverages, though no glass is allowed.
Parking is easy and relatively close so walking to the entrance won’t make you exhausted upon arrival. Wear comfortable shoes, and depending on the time of year you visit, sunscreen may be required.
A few things are temporarily closed at KSC due to COVID; you will find them on this list, but there is plenty to make a day of it, and you’ll hardly notice.
Pro Tip: If you are traveling and have a pet, there is a free air-conditioned pet kennel offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Proof of vaccinations is required.
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex (KSC) is where you’ll start your day. Operating hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Things to see at KSC include the Rocket Garden, IMAX Theater, character appearances, Journey to Mars: Explorers Wanted, and Space Shuttle Atlantis with Shuttle Launch Experience.
You’ll be in awe wandering through the Rocket Garden, with Delta, Gemini, Mercury-Redstone, Juno rockets, and others that pioneered the space program. The missiles are replicas, as back in the day, they weren’t recovered or reused. The most impressive one is the Saturn 1B, the only rocket laying down.
At the Space Shuttle Atlantis, you’ll see every inch of a full-scale space shuttle, along with testimonials and memorabilia ranging from what the astronauts eat to how and where they sleep. Space Shuttle Atlantis should take about an hour to explore.
I encourage you to sit through one of the IMAX films that may pertain to space travel and how it affects the astronaut’s body or showcasing space travel of the future and what that means to you.
A must-see, though a tear-jerker, is Forever Remembered, a memorial honoring those astronauts who lost their lives on the Challenger and Columbia. These lives are also memorialized on the continually illuminated Space Mirror Memorial, a polished black granite stone on the National Register of Historic Places with those 24 astronauts’ names emblazoned.
Special Exhibits And Ceremonies
My favorite part of KSC is the Heroes and Legends exhibit. You’ll start with a 360-degree film about the meaning of a hero, then move into a second location for a thrilling interactive program about early space exploration. It has a Disney-esque feel to it, but I can’t tell you more because it could ruin the surprise.
After that portion of Heroes and Legends, you’ll enter the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, where you can see those recognized and honored for their accomplishments. I’m waiting for my fellow West Virginian, Jon McBride, to make it there.
A ceremony I am proud to take part in is NASA’s Day of Remembrance. Each January, a list of the fallen astronauts is read and remembered in an intimate ceremony of around 100 people. This year, it took place in front of the Space Mirror Memorial, with family members of the fallen astronauts in attendance. The 35th anniversary of the Challenger disaster takes place in 2021.
Offerings For The Littles
If you bring children or grandkids, Kennedy Space Center’s all-new Planet Play offers a fully immersive multi-level playground designed for those ages 2 to 12. The neon lights and modern playscape is a much-needed offering at Kennedy Space Center and super fun. There are couches for parents to take a break and relax while the kids get some energy out, and the Planet Play Lounge serves coffee, beer, and wine.
KSC Tours And Special Features
The KSC Bus Tour runs from KSC to Apollo/Saturn V Center, offering an up close and personal look at the Saturn V, the largest rocket ever flown. It is only accessible by this tour. I had been to KSC a dozen times before taking this tour, and it is a must! The ride itself is pretty thrilling. It passes America’s multi-user spaceport, launch pads 39A (leased by SpaceX for the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets) and 39B (previously Apollo and other launches, but is being reworked to support future launches).
At Saturn V, wander the grounds, namely the Moon Tree Garden, and then see the interactive displays, a “Footsteps on the Moon” timeline, 3D holograms, a replica of the moon landing, and 1960s living room, all inside the 100,000-square-foot facility. You can also eat a meal at Moon Rocket Cafe and browse The Right Stuff gift shop.
Fun Fact: Be sure to see the moon dust on Alan Shepard’s spacesuit at the Apollo Treasures Gallery.
The Astronaut Training Experience and the Mars Base 1 program give you a chance to see what training and living on the Red Planet is like. It requires a separate ticket fee, and guests must be 18 (or 10 to 17 and with a participating adult). Where else can you spacewalk in a microgravity environment with the world’s most cutting-edge simulation technology? The program lasts between 4 to 5 hours.
If you’re at KSC during a rocket launch (monitor the event calendar here), you can see it from the property, main parking lots, or even alongside the roads, when allowed. Launches take place at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, adjacent to KSC. I live in Vero Beach, 90 minutes away. Folks in my town go over to the beach to capture the launches. Depending on the clouds, it is entirely possible.
Pro Tip: If you are there for a night launch, I recommend staying at the Inn at Cocoa Beach, which has a darling oceanfront rooftop patio. Guests congregate there to watch and count down the launch, or you can do so from your room’s balcony. There are no crowds, either.
Dining And Shopping Options
You can enjoy a good meal at Kennedy Space Center at the Orbit Cafe. This sizable cafeteria-style venue has a wide array of burgers, sandwiches, build-your-own-salads, and pizza. Enjoy an ice cream treat or Martian Rocks (an exclusive flavor) at Space Dots, or pick up popcorn, drinks, and candy before going in to see the IMAX movie.
One of the most popular activities at Kennedy Space Center is Dine with an Astronaut. This event (currently on hold) gives you a chance to eat a tasty meal as you hear about a retired astronaut’s adventures in space as told by them. There is even time for Q and A at the end. And get this — they serve Tang!
The Official NASA Store of Kennedy Space Center is the world’s largest space-related store. You can find apparel, souvenirs (think ornaments, masks, plush, and mugs), books, office essentials, collectibles, and space ice cream. And speaking of the freeze-dried packaged stuff, I never miss picking up a bag, but the shelves were full of ice cream sandwiches, instead, on my last visit. I nearly cried.
Visiting Kennedy Space Center is an exceptional place to visit for all ages. It certainly makes you feel proud to be an American when you see all we have accomplished and what our future in space holds. Happy travels. | aerospace |

A '4 in 1' combines much of the electronics required on a helicopter into one unit, often found on ready to fly models. A 4 in 1 contains the receiver, gyro and two electronic speed controllers (it also contains a revolution mixer and a battery eliminator circuit, either of which could be counted in place of one of the ESCs).
Sometimes '3 in 1' is used to refer to a '4 in 1' with a separate receiver. For example, the Esky 4 in 1 used in their lower end ready to fly models can be broken into two halves, one containing the receiver, and one containing the rest of the electronics. This allows the receiver to be replaced easily to talk to other radio systems, such as 2,4GHz systems.
A 4 in 1 is a lightweight and compact solution to flight electronics, but they are very inflexible, as individual components cannot easily be swapped out. Changing from a brushed motor to a brushless motor for example is quite difficult, and leaves the original brushed motor controller redundant on the aircraft. Changing the gyro would also be hard to impossible to do well.

The first flight of this innovative wing took place on November 6, from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport in France, onboard a modified Cessna Citation VII. This pivotal project, which commenced in September 2021, primarily aims to enhance wing aerodynamics, potentially reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions significantly.
Revolutionizing Wing Design
Airbus’s experimental wing, fitted on the Citation VII, is poised to be a game-changer in aviation technology. Its compatibility with new engine configurations promises a substantial reduction in CO2 emissions. The urgency of mitigating climate change is a driving force behind this initiative, as the aviation industry seeks to curb its environmental impact. The experimental nature of these wings and their potential implications for Airbus’s carbon footprint remain under wraps, but the ambition is clear: a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly future for air travel.
Biomimicry in Aviation
Taking cues from nature, Airbus engineers are exploring biomimetic designs, allowing wings to adapt dynamically to flight conditions, mirroring how birds optimize their flight. The ‘eXtra Performance Wing’ project aims to achieve this through innovative technologies like gust sensors and adaptive wing structures. The testing, conducted on a smaller scale using a Cessna Citation VII, offers a glimpse into what could be a more efficient, bird-like approach to flight, aiming to drastically reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
Testing and Future Prospects
The experimental journey began with baseline testing earlier this month, with the Cessna Citation VII acting as a testbed for these pioneering technologies. Future plans involve ground testing in Cazaux, France, followed by remote operation system integrations and extensive flight tests. Airbus anticipates the first flight with these advanced wings in 2025, with data from these tests crucial in evaluating the design’s impact on emissions and fuel efficiency.
This ambitious endeavor by Airbus represents a significant stride towards sustainable aviation. By potentially reducing fuel usage and CO2 emissions, these developments align with global efforts to combat climate change. While the full extent of the experimental wing’s capabilities and impact remains to be seen, Airbus’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is evident, marking a new era in aviation technology.
Airbus’s venture into pioneering wing design and biomimicry highlights a broader trend in the industry, where environmental considerations are increasingly shaping technological advancements. The success of this project could herald a more sustainable, efficient future for air travel, marrying technological innovation with ecological responsibility. | aerospace |

Real-time vibration monitoring of the helicopter rotor blade can increase the overall flight safety, enhancing the pilot awareness of the flight limits, and thus resulting in fewer accidents and lower maintenance costs. However, present day techniques for monitoring helicopter rotor blades are highly complicated and expensive operations.
This is why the WiBRATE project aims to develop a low-cost solution based on miniaturized wireless inertial sensors with self-powering capabilities. The experiments performed by Inertia and LMS constitute the starting point for the development of such a dedicated wireless sensing platform. | aerospace |

In March of this year, EASA granted Innovint approval as an EASA Part 21 design organisation with the approval number EASA.21J.770.
Like many small and medium-sized companies in the aviation industry, Innovint Aircraft Interior GmbH faced historic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. As much negativity as the pandemic brought, Innovint's engineering team used the freed capacity to establish its own EASA 21J design organisation."
The decision to set up an EASA 21J design organisation was only logical with the extensive experience we have in the field of certification and verification, and the timing was simply right," says Manfred Gröning, Managing Director of Innovint Aircraft Interior GmbH.
The Innovint 21J team is now able to offer a comprehensive range of services. This includes minor modifications for all aircraft certified to EASA CS23 and CS25 as well as for helicopters certified to EASA CS27 and CS29.
Whether it is a simple modification, such as the installation of a literature pocket, a flower vase in the washroom, or more complex modifications such as reconfiguration of the aircraft cabin with installation of partitions and other monuments, the Innovint 21J team is ready to implement practical and efficient solutions quickly and easily for its customers.
With more than 40 years of experience and as an EASA production and maintenance organisation, our customers now receive individualised cabin interiors as a complete solution with EASA Form 1 approval and ready-to-install from one competent source.
INNOVINT Liners and Seat Blockers
After months of worldwide cancellation of passenger flights due to the Corona pandemic, the airlines' offer is slowly increasing again. Accompanied by Aviation Authorities recommendations for flight operations an increase of passenger flights is expected.
While many airlines are making the wearing of mouth-and-nose protection on board mandatory others follow also EASA recommendations and block the seats between passengers, or in dedicated areas.
For safe operation, to fulfil EASA recommendations, and to reduce the perceived risk for passengers INNOVINT developed different products:
Headrest and Armrest Liners:
Made from flame retardant, antiviral and antibacterial cloth, comfortable in touch, simply pulled over headrest and armrest, fits automatically to any shape, color anthracite.
Baby Bassinet Liner:
Made from flame retardant, antiviral and antibacterial felt, comforts babies to the most extent, easily installed within seconds, color pink (sorry for the boys…).
INNOVINT offers three different types of seat blockers:
Separate passenger seat belt with stitched indication "NO SEAT", which is simply installed over the arm rests, both ends are tied up under the seat by means of cable ties.
Sleeve made from black fabric with stitched indication "NO SEAT", pulled over the existing passenger seat belt.
Large seat blocker, made from aluminum honeycomb and canvas, with symbol imprint "NO SEAT", installed between the armrests via available passenger seat belt.
All products are available with short lead-time. We look forward supporting your safe operations. Please feel free to contact us for any further information.
Cargo Stowage Bags
To an extremely high degree, the aviation industry is affected by the current corona pandemic. All passenger flights are nearly down, but there is a high demand for cargo transport. Industrial supply chains have to move on and regular cargo aircraft are operating at their limits.
Innovint developed a solution to convert the passenger main-deck into a cargo compartment, allowing to transport real cargo (beyond medical supplies on the basis of "permit to fly", or humanitarian passenger flights). This concept will add substantial payload and volume to the cargo hold of passenger aircraft and can be adopt with little effort to all types of commercial passenger A/C.
The approval process is based on the EU regulation 2018/1139 article 71 (provisions for flexibility in case of unforeseeable, and extraordinary circumstances), which allows a faster certification approach with the National Aviation Authorities (NAA), as an STC via EASA process would take too much time. However, all relevant qualification and certification issues will follow rules and methods as if an STC is established. Our partner EASA 21J Design Organization will guide and establish necessary data to reach an equivalent level of safety to ensure the continued airworthiness and safe operation of the A/C after modification.
PED Containment Bag
Innovint upgraded its InnoBag family with a new member: The PED Containment Bag (lithium-ion fire containment bag) is a professional solution to manage incidents caused by thermal runaways of ithium-ion batteries used in Portable Electronic Devices (PED) throughout the aircraft cabin. The PED Containment Bag is made of state of the art fire resistant materials with a temperature resistance of up to 1.000 degrees Celsius to contain defective devices. Due to its robust build-up the bag is able to withstand highly-intensive thermal runaways and helps to protect the passengers, crewmembers and cabin environment from fire or hazard. In addition, the PED Containment Bag supports a safe transport within the cabin to a fire protected place for a safe cool-down of the defective PED.
Innovint presents EFBK for incidents with Li-Ion batteries
Due to their high energy density Lithium-ion batteries have become power sources for a wide range of Portable Electronic Devices (PED), such as mobile phones, tablet computers, cameras, notebooks or torch lights.
As these PEDs are present in nearly all day-to-day situations they are also part of every flight all over the world: on flight decks used for flight operations, in the cabin carried for entertaining of passengers and in cargo hold as transported goods. An increasing number of incidents caused by PED has occurred due to battery failures – the so called thermal runaway. During this event the battery releases the stored energy at a very short time leading to serious hazards like fire and dense smoke.
Just last week the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a Service Information Bulletin (SIB) No. 2009-22R1 taking into account such incidents. This SIB recommends to use International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Doc. 9481-AN/928 ‘Emergency Response Guidance for Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous Goods’ as guidance for handling Li-Ion fires. In parallel Innovints’ brand new Electronic Flight Bag Kit (EFBK) takes into account this guidance as a professional all-in-one solution enabling the cabin crew to handle Li-Ion fi res until controlled cool-down safely. Two fire-proof PED Containment Bags using state-of-the-art materials with temperature resistance up to 1.000 degree Celsius are provided to contain damaged devices. To protect crewmembers fire-proof gloves as well as safety goggles are included. All EFBK equipment is stored practically in a portable aluminum kit and is therefore ready to use. Considering also the upcoming trend of using tablet computers in the cockpit for flight operations Innovint consequently provides in the EFBK two appropriate storage provisions for PEDs and an additional USB World Power Adapter for charging of electronic devices around the world as well as the possibility to lock the kit. Therefore an adequate protection of flight critical equipment is ensured. Moreover, the Kits’ compact one piece arrangement enables an efficient crew handover between flights.
New regulation dictates the use of a Child Restraint System for aircraft registered in Brazil
The board of Civil Aviation Agency-ANAC regulated by law that Brazilian aircraft operators must provide child restraint system for all infants regardless of age.
For this reason LATAM Airlines Group and VRG Linhas Areas S.A. ordered a total amount of 180 child restraint systems from Innovint Aircraft Interior GmbH in Germany, Hamburg.
The INNOVINT SkyKids® child seat is the only child seat which is approved for take-off and landing and which meets all international airworthiness regulations. It has been developed with every kind of operative requirement of airlines as far as weight, handling and storage in the cabin. Furthermore, it has been put through the 16g dynamic test according to emergency landing conditions aircraft seat requirements.
With the help of a normal passenger lap belt the seat can be secured in aftward facing position (for infants) and forward facing position (for toddlers) to all common aircraft seats.
“This regulation confirms our motivation and efforts over the last years and we are proud that we are the only company worldwide providing a child restraint system which finally offers small travelers the same safety level as to their parents” said Uwe Groening, CEO Innovint Aircraft Interior GmbH. | aerospace |

SpaceShipOne has rocketed into history, becoming the first private manned spacecraft to exceed an altitude of 328,000 feet twice within the span of a 14 day period, thus claiming the ten million dollar Ansari X-Prize.
In addition to meeting the altitude requirement to win the X-Prize, pilot Brian Binnie also broke the August 22, 1963 record by Joseph A. Walker, who flew the X-15 to an unofficial world altitude record of 354,200 feet.
Brian Binnie's SpaceShipOne flight carried him all the way to 367,442 feet or 69.6 miles above the Earth's surface.
The Ansari X-Prize was founded in 1996, modeled after the Orteg Prize that Charles Lindbergh won in 1927 by flying solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The October 4, 2004 SpaceShipOne flight was timed partially to coincide with the 47th anniversary of the Soviet launch of Sputnik.

50 years ago today on July 20, 1969, the crew of NASA’s Apollo 11 made history, becoming the first manned spaceflight to land on the moon. The Fisher Space Pen was first used on the Apollo 7 space mission in 1968 after 2 years of testing by NASA, and has been used on all manned space flights since then. The Space Pen refill is pressurized and designed to write under zero-gravity as well as extreme weather (Ink relies on gravity to come out. If it’s used upside-down for a long time, the ink stops flowing.) For the 50th anniversary, Fisher releases this limited special edition of their model AG7, which is the original model used on Apollo 11 and many other missions. See picture below for a piece of thermal insulation foil from Apollo 11 sealed inside the cap. The history behind this pen is iconic, and we love the history this pen carries.

Since June 2019, ASD’s FlySafe platform has allowed the Principality of Monaco to identify and track all authorized drone flights, one of the first countries in the world to have real-time control management of unmanned aircraft in its airspace.
With FlyBe, operators list their drones in the FlyBy catalog with all relevant characteristics (weight, equipment, etc.) which will allow them to calculate flight range. In in the event of a constraint, the operator can automatically re-route the flight or negotiate with the airspace manager an alternative routing. | aerospace |
