Documentary Script by Jon Kalina
Narration written by Gary Lang
The greatest test of the human mind will be the projected almost three-year manned mission to Mars and back. Mental breakdown, sexual tension, near-suicide and mutiny have already taken place on shorter Earth orbit and space travel missions. The Achilles’ heel of the Mars mission may be the human factor.
Crew selection is perhaps the most critical of choices. At the start of space exploration, NASA selected military test pilots for missions – in the 1960s, one died per week. In the 1980s, scientists and schoolteachers were chosen to orbit Earth. Today, psychiatrists delve into the human psyche to discover the necessary attributes for a successful 21st century astronaut.
The Russians have the most experience in long missions. They test candidates by keeping them isolated and awake for days of non-stop repetitive tasks to duplicate the numbing mindless routine of months of space travel.
Life onboard will be crowded, noisy and dirty. There will be no water for showering and astronauts will drink their own purified urine. Noise, workload and disrupted circadian rhythms all cause sleep deprivation. Boring and repetitive food saps psychological and physical energy. What’s NASA cooking up for its crews?
Sex in space is a possibility with a mixed crew in close quarters. NASA says that is OK and natural, but different nationalities and customs may give rise to misunderstanding and friction.
Isolation and confinement can bring out strong emotions, even violence. Sedation and restraint could be necessary. Family problems on Earth could affect an astronaut’s ability to function. New methods of psychological assessment such as software that examines facial movements for signs of emotional disturbance are being tested.
Six months of boredom while travelling through space will be followed by six minutes of an astronaut’s life’s most intense activity and terror during the dangerous descent through Mars’ atmosphere. Training a crew to cope with the psychological pressure of his/her imminent death is a major hurdle.
Four personality types have been identified as the most perfect for a Mars mission: the driver, the analyst, the motivator and the relationship builder. Thus far, there has only been a 50 per cent success rate for landing un-manned spacecraft on Mars. Landing a manned craft is even more dangerous. The crew must face that grim reality.

He also advised me to keep well clear of the non-commissioned ranks' domestic areas, although he didn't explain why. If I wanted to go up on deck, I was to arrange an escort for my own safety. However, for most of the first 24 hours I was sea sick. I was actually very surprised at how much the carrier pitched as we crossed the Bay of Biscay. Standing out on the flight deck, always with a safety escort to make sure I didn't fall off, it was remarkable to see how much the front end went up and down in the swell. In fact, for a couple of days no flying off was possible because of the conditions even though Spanish land airfields were within range.
My problem, I soon discovered, was finding my way around. I had taken the precaution of writing down the number of my cabin in case I became totally lost. Down below, I found the constant noise and vibration tiring and it was quite impossible to tell which way was forward and which way aft until a friendly sailor explained the signs on the walls. It was obvious that all ranks on board knew roughly who I was, and I found nothing but curiosity and friendship.
Each of the flying squadrons, I forget how many there were - at least a dozen - operated from their own area of the ship. They were all linked together by a ship-wide closed circuit TV system. Any of the ship's company could listen in to briefings and debriefings when the system was switched on. I was assured that every rank on board would wish to watch my TV briefings on how to carry out air-to-air refuelling. That was bad enough but then they told me that the system provided talk-back so anyone could chip in and ask me questions right there and then. In 1975, CCTV in the UK was in its infancy so the prospect of having such a large and professional audience for my briefings was daunting to say the least.
I decided, as my American friends would have put it, to 'cut the crap' from my prepared script. In fact, I dispensed with my prepared notes and shortened my briefing by at least 50%, concentrating as much as possible on practicalities and emergency drills. It seemed to go down well ,and I had lots of sensible questions from the various crew rooms. It went on for quite a long time - obviously there was nothing better for them to watch on TV. On the day after my presentation it was time for me to go flying in an A6. I had extensive safety briefings as one would expect. My pilot was the Flight Commander, a full USN captain in rank, son of a retired 3-star admiral. Some of the pilots wished me luck adding, "He doesn't do much flying these days - but you should be OK." I enjoyed the flight immensely and we did some buddy-buddy refuelling.
Above: One of the deck crew kindly took this pic for me as I was about to be launched for my flight in an F4
Below: My view just before launch for my trip in an A6
The same Flight Commander also flew me on my second flight, this time in the back seat of an F4 Phantom and that was much more exciting. The pilot briefed me that in the event of an emergency on launch it would be a command ejection - he would operate the system so that he and I would be ejected simultaneously. The crewman strapping me in pointed out the lever in front of me by my left knee which, in one position, allowed command ejection and which, in the other position, inhibited command ejection and required the rear cockpit occupant to eject himself when necessary. In spite of listening carefully to the briefing, I forgot which position was which within seconds but didn't like to ask the pilot to tell me again. I stowed my camera, which I had permission to take with me, in a crevice on the right hand side of the cockpit. The launch was much more exciting than that in the A6. My pilot told me that there were 30 knots 'across the deck' - meaning that the ship's forward speed plus the headwind component of the natural wind totalled 30 kts.
"You OK, Tony?" called the pilot as we shot off the end of the ship at about 160 kts indicated air speed. From standstill to 160 kts had taken, so I was later reliably informed, 2.4 seconds. I was given, to keep as a memento, what remained of the bolt that had been used to launch the aircraft forward and which was designed to fracture and fall away at the end of the launch. I still have it - on the desk in front of me as I write this. (OK. It probably was not the exact bolt that had launched me, but the principle was fine.)
"Yup, sir," I gulped. Then I noticed that the indicated air speed was already approaching 600 knots and that we were skimming the waves - I could not locate a Mach meter on the instrument panel but we must have been approaching Mach 1.
"Hold tight," he called, and promptly pulled the aircraft into a vertical climb. I watched the accelerometer reach 6g before, temporarily, I blacked out: he was wearing an anti-g suit; I was not. When my sight and senses recovered a few seconds later, we were rolling off the top at 35,000 feet and the Independence was a tiny speck far below. We RV'ed with a Marham Victor tanker south-west of the Scillies to watch a group of the ship's aircraft take on fuel, putting into practice what I had taught them. Then we moved behind the tanker to make a few dry contacts ourselves - 'dry' meaning there was no transfer of fuel - we didn't need to take on any fuel. My pilot asked me to deal with the radio calls. The Victor crew were astonished to recognise my voice on the radio because only a few people at Marham knew that I had l left Marham, let alone the UK. Shows how much OC VSU was missed!
Above: I took this pic myself of an RAF 57 Squadron Victor working with two of Independence's F4s.
Above: That's me (that is to say - my pilot!) about to 'take the hook'. My thanks to the friendly sailor on board who took this pic.
When we returned to the carrier, we had to make several approaches to land back on deck because the weather, and the swell, had worsened considerably. We were waved off at least half a dozen times. One of the junior pilots was sharing the circuit with us and when he got down to his minimum fuel state he was ordered to divert to RAF St Mawgan, then about 100 miles north of our position. I learned later that he landed safely on the 9,000 foot runway, but apparently made a carrier-type landing and came to a very rapid halt using maximum braking, bursting all his tyres in the process. There was some excuse for him: the St Mawgan runway was by no means level. It had a pronounced up gradient for the first couple of hundred metres before it fell away for the rest of its length. Just before touch down, it would have suddenly appeared to the Navy pilot that the runway was extremely short. He had to wait in the cockpit for his aircraft to be dragged off the runway. Very embarrassing. I suppose he must eventually have re-joined Independence, but I didn't meet him. We finally landed back on deck just before we reached our minimum fuel state. | aerospace |

Well, a team of astronauts demonstrated that such an achievement is possible, thus growing the first flower in space.
According to NASA, a Zinnia was planted and grown by the astronauts on the International Space Station, thus becoming the first flower that reached maturity in space.
This is however not the first time the astronauts on the ISS have tried to grow such plants. The first attempts to grow a zinnia were marked as a failure due to moisture inside the Space Station. The plants grown partially then quickly died because of the mold that suffocated them.
Is hard for a plant to grow in an environment where there are no continuous flows of fresh air or a suitable amount of water. Even so, the astronauts were able to grow the first plant in space this fall.
The reason they have decided to grow a zinnia flower is because the period during which a zinnia blossom is similar to that of tomatoes. This success proves that people can grow other vegetables besides lettuce into space as well.
It seems that Mark Whatney was right and that someday, we will be able to “green” other planets in our solar system apart from Earth. | aerospace |

By: Robert Dougherty
The Australian Defence Force is trialling an Apache attack helicopter on the HMAS Canberra in Sydney.
The iconic American twin-turboshaft attack helicopter started compatibility trials aboard the HMAS Canberra landing helicopter dock ship in service with the Royal Australian Navy on 22 February.
US military, Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army, and Royal Australian Air Force were present onboard the ship to oversee the trial.
Royal Australian Navy Leading Seaman Thomas Atkinson (pictured below), who conducts aviation maintenance, said the trials started with military personnel checking for helicopter-to-ship compatibility.
“They’re just conducting trials to find out the compatibility with the landing helicopter dock. They basically land and take-off, and they’re also testing to make sure all the ships systems are compatible,” he said.
The Apache is the primary attack helicopter of numerous nations including America, Greece, Japan, Israel, the Netherlands, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates.
It hosts an armament of Hydra-70 rockets, hellfire, air-to-ground or air-to-air missiles and a 30mm cannon.
The Australian Defence Force is expected to replace its Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopters with AH-64E Apache Guardians. Twenty-nine helicopters will be purchased with a scheduled fleet of 12 operational helicopters in 2026 and the full complement by 2028.
HMAS Canberra Commanding Officer Captain Jace Hutchison said the helicopter could become a major asset for the ADF.
“The Apache is the next stepping stone (for the Australian Defence Forces) because the Australian Army is going to be purchasing that aircraft,” he said.
“It’s going to be the attack helicopter first strike for the ADF and it needs to operate from the landing helicopter dock.” | aerospace |

The VTOL, eVTOL and UAM market is constantly changing and evolving, so maintaining a competitive edge both within the industry and supporting mission effectiveness requires significant research and development activities. Enteknograte offers the industry’s most complete simulation solution for vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) aircraft. Our research and development procedure has required a blend of qualities such as ambition, drive and commitment as well as more tangible assets such as specialist engineering skills, rapid development through simulation techniques, supreme electronics expertise and a ruthless quest for performance and reliability.
The level of partnership and support for Developing a leading edge VTOL, eVTOL and UAM system FEA and CFD simulations that our customers get is just as important to us. We are investing time and resources to ensure customers receive support and service that is of the same, highest possible standards as the reliability and performance.
Increase efficiency, reduce noise, costs, and time-to-market of rotorcraft and eVTOL vehicles with an integrated design, simulation and optimization process
- Leverage an integrated design and analysis process to develop preliminary VTOL aircraft designs that maximize propulsion efficiency in hover, maximize aerodynamic efficiency in cruise and minimize noise over the entire flight envelope.
- Use high-fidelity fluid dynamics simulation in an optimization loop to maximize propulsion efficiency and minimize noise in hover.
- Reduce blade-vortex interaction and loads acting on the control surfaces during conversion.
- Design for low-noise manuevers.
- Analyze the acoustic impact in a urban environment during take-off and landing.
- Reduce product development costs and reduce time-to-market using digital simulations to predict performance early in the design cycle rather than physical tests in the late stages of development
Vibroacoustics performance assessment of aircraft panels in low, mid and high frequency regimes
A true VTOL system design has complex challenges, particularly designing for a high thrust for hover while also reducing drag for cruise. In simple terms, you are designing a helicopter and forward-flying aircraft in the same product.
Vibroacoustic (VA) characteristics, namely sound transmission loss, overall sound pressure levels of aircraft panels made up of different materials such as aluminum, composites and fiber metal laminates can be analyzed with optimization approach for aircraft panels.
The investigation involves modeling of aircraft panels using finite element method (FEM) for low frequency, Boundary Element Method (BEM) for mid-frequency and statistical energy analysis (SEA) in high-frequency bands. To obtain the VA characteristics of the panels, twin chambers, namely source and receiver are numerically modeled, and the panels are placed in between them. This numerical study helps in understanding the VA behavior of aircraft materials and also minimizes the cost and time involved in conducting experiments.
eVTOLs and UAM Crashworthiness certification
Occupant safety is an integral part of the design, development, and operation of urban air mobility (UAM) systems. Emergency landing conditions design requirements specified in (Code of Federal Regulations) (Certification standard ) may not provide the level of safety for eVTOL vehicles.
The successful implementation of the UAM market will require emergency landing concepts that address real-world safety expectations. An integrated safety development process will help you maintain survivable volume, minimize deceleration loads to occupants, maintain egress paths and evaluate retention items of mass.
Enteknograte engineers optimize eVTOL aircraft crashworthiness from the conceptual design stage using most advanced computational tools.
How multibody models and optimization tools can be used to define integrated safety concepts for:
- Landing gear and airframe crashworthiness
- High-energy absorbing seats, and advanced restraints
- Cabin subfloor structures
- Energy-absorbing landing and take-off sites
Airworthiness certification with efficient aircraft ground vibration: Ground Vibration Testing (GVT)
Ground vibration testing (GVT) is a major milestone in the FAA aircraft certification process and EASA.The main purpose of the test is to obtain experimental vibration data for the entire aircraft structure so you can validate and improve its structural dynamic models. Among other things, these models are used to predict flutter behavior and plan safety critical flight tests. Ground vibration testing is typically performed late in the development cycle, and due to the limited availability of the aircraft, there is pressure to get the test results as quickly as possible.
Aircraft structural design must be carefully verified to meet performance requirements but also guarantee safety. On one hand, stringent regulations for reduced emissions call for more lightweight structures such as composite materials and innovative aircraft architectures, which creates lots of uncertainty around structural dynamic performance. On the other hand, new urban air mobility concepts enabled by electric propulsion offer possibilities for disruptive vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft configurations. This calls for more engineering work to validate and tune the performance of such innovative designs.
The goal of Ground vibration testing is to test program-critical flutter simulation results and reduce the risk of flight flutter tests. More specifically, this large-scale modal test on the full aircraft serves to calibrate computer-based finite element (FE) models used for further flutter predictions. The results of the test are the modal parameters of the aircraft structure and include modal frequencies, damping values, mode shapes and scaling factors for a number of configurations. During the Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) campaign, structural coupling tests involving the flight control system are also performed to help calibrate the simulation models and control laws. These calibrated aero-servoelastic models are then used for flutter predictions to analyze the behavior of the aircraft throughout its flight envelope and reduce the risk of the flight flutter test.
Aeroservoelasticity (ASE) is a multidisciplinary technology dealing with the interaction of the aircraft’s flexible structure, the steady and unsteady aerodynamic forces resulting from the aircraft motion, and the flight control systems.
Aeroacoustics Wind Tunnel Testing
The airframe noises generated by the landing gear, flaps, slats, or other high-lift devices are significant contributors to aircraft acoustic emissions, especially during the approach and landing phases. To help minimize aircraft noise pollution in the vicinity of airports, engineers need to evaluate and optimize the acoustic performance of aircraft concepts and models as early as possible.
Wind tunnel tests are effective to validate prediction models before the aircraft can fly. However, they are costly and require extensive test preparation time. We use advanced acoustics solvers for aeroacoustics engineering by using advanced solutions for highly efficient aeroacoustic wind tunnel testing.
Noise, Vibration and Harshness – NVH in eVTOL – (Electric Vertical Take-Off & Landing) and Electro-Motors
FEA based Simulation Design for Electromagnetic multiphysics environments has a significant benefits for noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) analysis of electrical machines and transformers. NVH is an important analysis required by manufacturers of motors used in hybrid/electric vehicles, appliances, commercial transformers and other applications where quiet operation is an essential design parameter. Two-way transient magnetostriction coupling enables the magnetostrictive forces to be added to the magnetic forces and coupled to a mechanical design to predict acoustic noise.
Results from Electromagnetics solver obtained from the transient electromagnetic simulation to calculate the forces which are directly mapped to Mechanical solvers through special co-simulation algorithms for harmonic analysis. Optionally, an acoustic analysis can be performed to study noise. The forces from Electromagnetics solver are mapped as force vectors within the volume of the individual mesh elements, allowing a detailed and accurate form of mapping. This is because element-based mapping allows forces to be calculated for individual mesh elements, increasing the accuracy.
To optimize for NVH, our engineers use the forces from the EM analysis to perform advanced vibro-acoustic simulations. The forces are mapped to evaluate the structural dynamics response of the motor. Modal and harmonic stress coupling responses are important for simulating the NVH of an electric motor and for proper vibro-acoustic design of eVTOL – (Electric Vertical Take-Off & Landing). The harmonic analyses generate absolute magnitudes of vibrations and waterfall diagrams to get a complete picture of the motor’s acoustic profile.
VTOL Cabin Thermal Comfort CFD Simulation
The passenger’s thermal comfort is an essential design-criterion for the air-conditioning and customization of a VTOL and eVTOL cabin. In industry, engineers conduct costly and time-consuming test series with specifically built cabin mock-ups to obtain some information about the expected passenger’s sensation of comfort already in the design process.
We use the CFD Simulation to predict the passenger’s comfort by means of advanced software such as MSC Cradle, OpenFoam, Star-ccm+ and Ansys Fluent and to allow for an interactive layout of an optimized cabin. The CFD-computations of the air flow in the cabin’s interior and the flow through cabin air outlets is optimized with the help flow simulations to achieve design specifications.
Electromagnetic challenges in VTOL and UAM – Urban Air Mobility development
Many technical challenges need to be tackled and solved such as the widespread use of composite materials, hybrid and fully electric propulsion systems, the potential for radio frequency (RF) interference due to the interaction among external electromagnetic environment and the vehicle’s RF systems, the safety of the passengers, and the management of air traffic.
The same technologies find increasing application in the new concept VTOL as well in those that are renewed to take advantages from new avionics system and innovative materials.

By Miriam Kramer
Three astronauts from Russia, the United States and Italy have become the newest residents of the International Space Station after a record-setting trip.
Five hours and 40 minutes after a successful Soyuz rocket launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA's Karen Nyberg and Italy's Luca Parmitano docked their Soyuz spacecraft at the orbiting laboratory at 10:10 p.m. ET Tuesday. The new crew will remain on the space station for the next six months.
"I've never felt better in my life," Yurchikhin said just after the Soyuz docked at the station while sailing high above the South Pacific. [See Photos from the Launch and Docking]
Fast track to space
Tuesday's same-day launch and docking was the second express flight to the International Space Station by an astronaut crew.
Unmanned cargo vessels have made this kind of trip several times before, but the one-day missions are a relatively new method of flying for manned Soyuz capsules. Typically, it takes astronauts about two days to reach the space station. The fast-track itinerary calls for the capsule to orbit the Earth only four times, shortening the amount of time the astronauts need to spend in the cramped spaceship.
Watch a Russian Soyuz rocket lift off from Kazakhstan, carrying a U.S.-Italian-Russian crew to the International Space Station.
The first Soyuz crew to fly to the station using this expedited technique were waiting to greet Nyberg, Parmitano and Yurchikhin after the opening of the capsule's hatch. The three newest space station residents will join NASA's Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Misurkin and Pavel Vinogradov to round out the Expedition 36 crew.
"[Your trip was] even faster than Pavel," a Russian mission controller joked with Yurchikhin after docking. The Russian Soyuz commander beat Vinogradov's time to the station by six minutes.
A special group
Nyberg and Yurchikhin are both veteran spacefliers. Yurchikhin has spent more than a year in orbit over the course of three spaceflights, while Nyberg flew for two weeks in 2008 on the space shuttle Discovery.
In contrast, Parmitano is making his first trip into space. The European Space Agency has dubbed his expedition has been dubbed the "Volare" mission.
"Time to go! Thanks for your support and best wishes, see you from Cupola," Parmitano wrote on Twitter (@astro_luca) before launch, referring to the largest window on the space station.
Both Parmitano and Nyberg lead active lives via social media. Before launching into orbit, Nyberg started tagging her posts with the hashtag #simplejoysonearth to bring the experiences she had with her family to the world before leaving for the space station.
"Sun, birds, smell of grass & fresh air; nice walk w/ family along 'Ave of Cosmonauts' #simplejoysonearth," Nyberg wrote on Twitter (@AstroKarenN) before launch. She plans to continue to use social media to share her life in orbit.

The new space station crew has a jam-packed mission ahead. Parmitano and Cassidy are scheduled to perform two spacewalks in July, and Misurkin and Yurchikhin will conduct three spacewalks during the course of their mission. It's also possible that the astronauts will get a chance to carry the Olympic torch onboard the orbiting laboratory.
Vinogradov, Misurkin and Cassidy are scheduled to fly back to Earth in September. Parmitano, Nyberg and Yurchikhin will remain on the station until November.

DVTs or deep venous thrombosis are one of the unfortunate risk factors for long air travel and should be taken seriously.
DVTs are promoted by sitting for long periods of time, dehydration, injury to the legs (even small bruises), varicose veins and inactivity. They can be prevented by keeping hydrated (and not drinking alcohol if on an airliner), doing isometric exercises in your airplane (or walking around the cabin on big iron), wearing support socks and exercise before flights (like walking or elliptical machines).
Although the jury is still out on aspirin, I think it is a good preventive medication and I personally take it for long trips.
When using your own aircraft for a long cross country flight, remember that an extra stop or two can make all the difference in DVT prevention. Walking around during refueling or even from the airplane to the restroom will not only reduce your DVT risk, but make everyone on board more comfortable. | aerospace |

Boeing is flying quite a few test flights some within a day of the previous flight so that they can try and deliver them by October 31st.
Lastly, Matt Cawby tweeted that ZB001 (LN 133, N789FT) has its registration sticker attached thus indicating that first flight of this aircraft is imminent. I am guessing that it may take place by the end of this week.

Will is turning five- What a milestone!
He loves airplanes and his mom wanted to incorporate airplanes into his birthday theme.
I was super excited because I love airplanes too. My dad is a pilot and my son loves all things that go- so we like air shows and planes of all kinds.
Will and I played together on this gorgeous evening in Canton.
He showed me how airplanes zoom and fly and even read to me all about airplanes. We talked about propellers and wings and did a little "flying" ourselves.
What a fun day of imagination! | aerospace |

Practical Human Factors for Pilots bridges the divide between human factors research and one of the key industries that this research is meant to benefit―civil aviation. Human factors are now recognized as being at the core of aviation safety and the training syllabus that flight crew trainees have to follow reflects that. This book will help student pilots pass exams in human performance and limitations, successfully undergo multi-crew cooperation training and crew resource management (CRM) training, and prepare them for assessment in non-technical skills during operator and license proficiency checks in the simulator, and during line checks when operating flights.
Each chapter begins with an explanation of the relevant science behind that particular subject, along with mini-case studies that demonstrate its relevance to commercial flight operations. Of particular focus are practical tools and techniques that students can learn in order to improve their performance as well as "training tips" for the instructor.
Translates the science of human factors into a format that can be practically applied by simulator instructors, training captains, and crew resource management instructors to improve pilots’ understanding and performance.
From the Back Cover
Practical Human Factors for Pilots translates the science of human factors manageably and approachably so instructors, safety managers, and pilots can improve safety and efficiency. Presenting an integrated model of aeronautical human factors, the book demonstrates how human decision making has been implicated in air accidents and equips the reader with practically applicable tools to mitigate these risks, and goes on to provide instructors with a reliable knowledge base on which to design and deliver effective training. Student pilots will learn about human performance and limitations in order to successfully undergo multi-crew cooperation training and crew resource management training, and it will prepare them for assessment in non-technical skills during Operator and License Proficiency Checks in the siumulator and during Line Checks when operating flights.
- Provides practical, evidence-based guidance on the issues that are often at the root of aircraft accidents
- Uses international regulatory material as a basis for defining the content of the book
- Summarizes the current state of human factors training and assessment from a student pilot's first flight in a two-seat Cessna to their License Proficiency Check as captain on an Airbus A380

May 8, 2015 Leave a comment
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry said that helicopter crash at Naltar Valley in Gilgit-Baltistan happened due to an engine failure and ruled out the possibility of any terrorist activity.
While addressing a press briefing, the foreign secretary expressed his grief and extended condolences over the sad demise of foreign dignitaries in the incident.
The trip was of diplomatic nature and was planned to highlight the development activities in the Gilgit-Baltistan region, said Chaudhry. There was an event to inaugurate Ski chairlift by the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in which Islamabad based diplomats along with their wives were also invited.
Four helicopters were carrying diplomats and officers to the event and one of them carrying 19 people, including high-level diplomats, met an accident just yards away from its landing site, said the foreign secretary.
Of the 19 people on board at the time of crash, there were 12 dignitaries, two pilots and five crew members, he added. | aerospace |

Shenzhou-14's return capsule, carrying astronauts Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe, touched down at the Dongfeng landing site in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 8:09 p.m. Beijing Time, according to the China Manned Space Agency.
The astronauts were in good shape, and the Shenzhou-14 manned mission was a success, the agency announced.
They were carried out by ground workers and placed onto chairs in front of the capsule. They looked relaxed and waved to the ground crew.
"Welcome back home," people cheered for the trio, as many raised their cameras to capture the historic moment.
"I am honored to witness the formation of our space station's basic configuration," said Chen, the mission commander, also the first Chinese astronaut to stay in orbit for more than 200 days. "I am proud of my country."
Liu, China's first female astronaut, said she had an unforgettable memory in the space station and is excited to return to the motherland.
The return capsule separated from Shenzhou-14's orbiting capsule at 7:20 p.m. on Sunday under the command of the Beijing Aerospace Control Center.
Soon after the return capsule landed, the ground search team arrived at the landing site. Medical personnel confirmed that the astronauts were in good health.
The three astronauts went to the space station on June 5. They completed multiple tasks during their mission, including overseeing several rendezvous-and-dockings, performing three extravehicular activities, giving a live science lecture, and conducting several sci-tech experiments. | aerospace |

- Subject sponsoring for 4th European Satellite Navigation Competition
- Innovative ideas sought for 120,000 fleet management system
- The winning idea will be made ready for the market at the DHL Innovation Center
The central innovation and research facility of Deutsche Post World Net, the DHL Innovation Center in Troisdorf near Bonn (Germany), is sponsoring the "4th European Satellite Navigation Competition 2007". This ideas competition is supported by the European Space Agency ESA. DHL Innovation Center is contributing a special prize in the category "Intelligent Traffic Control Systems". The winner will have the chance to realize his solution at the DHL Innovation Center. Subsequently the winner's solution will be utilized in the satellite navigation system operated by DHL to track the fleet's 120,000 vehicles.
Entries to the special topic category sponsored by the DHL Innovation Center must fulfill two technical requirements. Firstly, they must allow the dynamic fleet management of delivery vehicles to be linked with up-to-the-minute traffic information. Secondly, they must guarantee flexible communication between dispatcher, the intelligent delivery vehicle, and the customer.
In times of growing traffic Deutsche Post World Net is challenged to keep customers satisfied with on schedule deliveries especially in large urban areas. "We will only be able to achieve this with the help of forceful ITC and satellite supported systems," explains Michael Lohmeier, Project Manager for Technology and Innovation Management at Deutsche Post World Net. Dynamic navigation will also avoid idle runs and detours which will in turn benefit the environment. "The chance of developing and implementing a telematics system for one of the world's largest vehicle fleets should prove far more enticing than any cash prize." The prize winning basic technology will be realized by the DHL Innovation Center in collaboration with the successful developer.
About the "European Satellite Navigation Competition 2007":

Being 3D printed, the model has the usual 3D printing artifact such as steppings. ABS-L is very easy to sand or polish. Such artifacts can be easily removed by filing or sanding.
Assembling instructions can be downloaded here:
This model provides options for building variations to fit different wargame or diorama scenarios.
*Can be assembled with or with out pilots:
*Nose assembly can be separated:
*Fuselage side door can be assembled as closed or opened to form a boarding ramp with optional parts (Due to technical issue, this model although featured a separated nose, did not provide an opening on the fuselage immediately behind the nose.):
*Seating platform can be separated. The assembled model is tail heavy. Weights will be required to hold the nose wheel down. The seating platform is a convenient way to slide in some weights:
*Tail section can be separated to allow quick off loading of troop or equipment as in the real plane:
After seeing the success of German glider landings during the early stage of WWII, The British Air Ministry issued a specification for a glider to the company Airspeed. The horsa was developed. Mark I has a port side door-ramp and could carry 28 fully armed soldiers. Mark II the improved version had a hinged nose for direct loading of vehicles and guns. Tail section can also dropped off after landing for quick exit of troops and equipment.
The Horsa was first used in an unsuccessful attack on German Heavy Water Plant at Rjukan, Norway in November 1942. Its major use started from the invasion of Sicily in July 1943, followed by D-Day, invasion of Southern France, Arnhem in 1944 and in the Rhine Crossing in March 1945. | aerospace |

In astronomy, the word satellite refers to any single object that is orbiting another larger, more massive object under the influence of their mutual gravitational force.
A natural satellite is any celestial body orbiting a planet or star of larger size. The Moon is the natural satellite of Earth. The other solar
system planets that have natural satellites (moons) are Mars (2), Jupiter (28), Saturn (18 known, additional 12 reported), Uranus (21), Neptune (8), and Pluto (1).
Artificial satellites are human-made devices that orbit Earth and other celestial bodies. These devices follow the same gravitational laws that govern the orbits of natural satellites. After being launched from Earth, artificial satellites are placed high enough to escape the denser parts of the atmosphere, which would slow down the orbit of the satellite and cause it to plummet to the ground. At the proper height, usually above 200 miles (320 kilometers), artificial satellites stay in orbit around Earth indefinitely. Those placed at this altitude take 90 minutes to circle Earth....

Satellite (World of Earth Science)
In astronomy, a satellite refers to any object that is orbiting another larger, more massive object under the influence of their mutual gravitational force.
Thus, any planetary moon (e.g., the Moon revolving about Earth) is properly described as a satellite of that planet. Because the word is used to describe a single object, it is not used to designate rings of material orbiting a planet, even though such rings might be described as being made up of millions of satellites. In those rare instances where the mass of the satellite approaches that of the object around which it orbits, the system is sometimes referred to as a binary system. This is the reason that some people refer to Pluto and its moon Charon as a binary planet. This description is even more appropriate for some recently discovered asteroids which are composed of two similar sized objects orbiting each other.
In this century, scientific probes and commercial devices have been launched into Earth orbit or into orbits about the Sun or another planet. A tradition has developed to refer to these objects as man-made satellites to distinguish them from naturally occurring satellites. Surveillance satellites orbiting Earth have been used to measure everything from aspects of the planet's weather to movements of ships. Communications satellites revolve about Earth in geostationary orbits 25,000 mi (40,225 km) above the surface and a recent generation of navigation satellites and global positioning satellites (GPS) enables receiving stations on the surface of Earth to be determined with errors measured within a few meters.
Surveillance satellites have been placed in orbit about the Moon, Mars, and Venus to provide detailed maps of their surfaces and measure properties of their surrounding environment. A number of probes have at least temporarily entered the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, or moons of these Jovian worlds.
Spacecraft missions to other planets in the solar system have revealed the existence of numerous previously unknown natural satellites and data from the Hubble Space telescope continue to reveal satellite objects that explain discrepancies in orbital paths and rotation rates of celestial bodies.

Norton A. Schwartz.
In a Sept. 20 keynote address at the Air Force Association’s Air and Space Conference and Technology Exposition, Schwartz said there is no room anymore for companies to “over-promise only then to under-deliver.” There will be no blank checks for industry, and the military will not be able to have everything it wants.
During a panel discussion earlier, Aerospace Industries Association Vice President Fred Downey said that the Pentagon needs to work with industry to come up with a national aerospace and defense strategy to avoid devastating impacts to military aviation. The military’s aircraft inventory is aging fast, with B-52s and other platforms now more than 50 years old, he said, and atrophy already has begun to affect combat aircraft. | aerospace |

Often confused with a spoiler, the wing exerts a downwards force on the rear wheels of a car when at speed due to the same aerodynamic effects as the wing on an aeroplane. In fact, it's almost identical, except upside-down.
At slower speeds, however, the wing has very little useful effect and ends up just being a drag (no pun intended) on the vehicle. So, when not going fast, the wing will be retracted into the car body. At a certain speed, it will rise up. After this, the wing's angle of attack (its pitch) will be changed according to inputs from various sources to provide the optimal aerodynamic effect.
This task presented is twofold:
- Identify the major factors that influence wing design, how the pitch angle changes the aerodynamic effect and see if other concepts, such as a flexible camber, could help. Ultimately, a model will be developed that links windspeed, camber angle and shape to the downward force exerted.
- Build a scaled model wing and test it in a wind tunnel to simulate real world use. This will also incorperate an electronic control system that will automatically determine the best settings for the wing at the given speed, as defined by the model.

Following the 2009 end of the QuikScat mission (a similar instrument), NASA was challenged to quickly create a replacement device, as QuikScat data helped meteorologists predict weather patterns and prepare for large storm systems for more than a decade. Using the existing data and power services of the station and hardware initially built as a spare for QuikScat, RapidScat greatly improved the timeliness of data transmissions and the potential for cross-calibration of other sensors designed to measure sea-surface winds.
Because of its ability to monitor weather systems around the world, RapidScat played a vital role in storm prediction and allowed maritime and air traffic time to avoid potentially dangerous weather conditions. RapidScat’s radar technology used microwaves, bounced off the ocean’s surface, to determine wind speed and direction.
RapidScat completed its successful two-year mission, outlasting its original decommission date before suffering a power loss in mid-August 2016. For a more in-depth look at the RapidScat mission, visit http://winds.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/RapidScat/. | aerospace |

The Lithuanian balloon flights have served as a way of bridging the gap between Soviet space scientists skeptical about balloon flight on Mars and others, such as Heinsheimer, who believe that the effort is do-able but difficult.
Heinsheimer played a key role in introducing Soviet scientists to manned ballooning about 1 1/2 years ago. In the spring of 1988, a Soviet scientific team visited Palm Springs for the Gordon Bennett Balloon Race-a competition Heinsheimer was instrumental in renewing in 1979 after a 41-year interruption.
[Victor Kerzhanovitch], in Pasadena recently for meetings on the Mars project and to observe Voyager's rendezvous with Neptune, said the Earth ballooning project had been beneficial for his understanding of what will happen during the balloon flights on Mars. Particularly useful was the first series of balloon flights in Lithuania in July, 1988, also sponsored by the Planetary Society. | aerospace |

Within the first 12 years of launching, both Voyagers returned information about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Now though, after 36 years of being in space, NASA is extremely proud to announce that Voyager 1 has left the solar system.
In actual fact, although NASA announced the Voyager’s departure from the solar system quite recently on September 12th 2013, it appears the leaving date itself was way back in 2012 – August 25th to be precise. So why the big delay on the celebrations?
At the moment, Voyager 1 is over 11 billion miles or 17 billion kilometers away from Earth. NASA can’t see the spacecraft at all. All that is visible is a radio signal that is being bounced back to Earth from the Voyager which looks like a pale blue light.
Unlike travelling out of town, there are no signs which tell concerned onlookers exactly where the Solar System ends. Instead, scientists must look for clues in the direction and number of cosmic rays as well as a difference in magnetic fields. However, the signs just didn’t appear to be there. It wasn’t until information from a plasma blast that hit the voyager in April 2013 that NASA had any indication that the Voyager was outside of the solar system.
The Clue Is In The Plasma
In March 2012, the sun emitted a huge blast of plasma which took 13 months to hit the Voyager. When it did hit though and the information was read by NASA experts, they were astonished to see that the density of the plasma was 40 times what they expected it to be. In short, it was the density of plasma they expected to find outside of the solar system.
Following this discovery, NASA quickly began to backtrack and look for any other signs of interstellar activity and found another similar event back in October to November the same year. A rise in tone from the plasma instrument on the voyager indicated that the spacecraft left the solar system on August 25th 2012 which is now known as the day when the first man made object went into interstellar space.

The Seafire Mk.XV borrowed features from four versions of the Spitfire. It had the fuselage of the Spitfire V as used on the Seafire III, the wing-root fuel tanks from the Spitfire IX, the enlarged fin and rudder and retractable tail wheel of the Spitfire VIII and the Griffon engine installation of the Spitfire XII. The folding wings were taken from the Seafire III.
Work on producing a Griffon powered Seafire began early in 1943 when two Spitfire XIIs were given to the Fleet Air Arm. They were navalised by Supermarine in February-March 1943, and then went to No.778 Squadron (Service Trials Unit) for carrier trials. These revealed that the aircraft had good low altitude speed but poor handling characteristics at take-off and landing. In March 1943 Supermarine were given a contract to produce six prototype Mk.XVs. The first prototype was completed in November 1943, and the remaining five during 1944. The high mark number was adopted after the Air Ministry decided to combine the Spitfire and Seafire numbering sequences.
The Griffon VI had a two-speed single-stage supercharger. It was larger than the Merlin, but only has a slightly larger frontal area. The 10ft 5in diameter Rotol propeller rotated in the opposite direction that on the Merlin, which would cause some problems. Cooling was providing by two large Spitfire IX style radiators under the wings, with the coolant radiator under the starboard wing and the oil cooler and a second coolant radiator under the port wing.
The Griffon engine would cause the biggest problems with the Mk.XV. The first problem was that the powerful engine produced a great deal of torque, which tended to force the Seafire towards the right (the Griffon rotated in the opposite direction to the Merlin). This meant that the Griffon powered Seafires tended to veer towards the island superstructure of an aircraft carrier when taking off, not an idea feature for a naval aircraft. This problem would only be solved with the introduction of the Seafire Mk.46, which had contra-rotating propellers - two propellers mounted on the same engine, rotating in opposite directions.
A second problem emerged soon after the Seafire Mk.XV went to sea. The supercharger clutch developed a tendency to slip at high rpm and boost settings, making it dangerous to attempt carrier landings. This problem was finally solved early in 1947 by adopting a new clutch.
The first prototype underwent tests at the Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment from February 1944 and catapult and arrester gear at RAE Farnborough from March 1944. By this time large numbers of Mk.XVs had been ordered. In July 1943 an existing order for 150 Mk.IIIs with Cunliffe-Owen was modified to cover the Mk.XV. In February Cunliffe-Owen received an order to produce another 250 aircraft, while in the same month Westland received an order for 140 aircraft. This was followed by a larger order for 500 aircraft in April 1944. Of these 1,040 only about a third were completed as Mk.XVs - sources disagree on the exact figure, giving totals of either 384 or 434 (384 is also given as the number produced with the older A-frame arrestor hook in some places). The first production machine was completed by Westland on 31 August 1944. Despite having a head-start Cunliffe-Owen didn't complete their first production machine until March 1945.
As with the earlier Seafires the Mk.XV was armed with two 20m Mk V cannon and four 0.303in Browning machine guns. It could carry one 500lb bomb on the centreline, or two pairs of Mk.VIII rocket projectors (four rockets) and an external centreline drop tank. The bombs and centreline fuel tank couldn't be carried for catapult launches. The rockets could be replaced by two 22.5 gallon combat tanks, which could be retained during combat.
The Mk.XV needed careful testing. The first carrier tests were carried out on HMS Pretoria Castle on 13-16 October 1944, and were fairly disastrous. Three prototypes were used. One was damaged when a tire burst, the second hit the barrier while landing and the third was damaged when hit by a Swordfish, ending the tests. A second set of trials in November 1944 were more successful (the navalised Spitfire Mk.21 that served as a prototype for the Seafire Mk.45 was also involved). These tests saw the A-frame arrestor hook compared to new sting-type hook, which was adopted on most Mk.XVs and all later Seafires. When released the sting-type hook moved aft and then dropped into a lowered position. The hook was in a clearer position than with the earlier A-frame system, meaning that the aircraft could be further off the deck and still catch cable, making it easier to land.
The last 30 Westland aircraft saw the distinctive Spitfire canopy replaced by a new teardrop design, with a cut-down rear fuselage. This improved visibility, and allowed the aircraft to carry an extra fuel tank behind the cockpit. Although it did have an adverse effect on handling it was adopted as standard on the Seafire XVII.
No.802 Squadron became the first to use the Seafire Mk.XV when it reformed in England in May 1945. On 11 August the squadron embarked on HMS Queen, ready to deploy to the Pacific, but a few days later Japan surrendered, and on 25 August the squadron disembarked. It did eventually move to the Far East in 1946, reaching Colombo on 13 May and remaining out until February 1947, but for most of this period the supercharger problems limited the squadron to shore based operations. The squadron was reformed in Britain later in 1947, and spent the winter of 1947-48 operating the Seafire in the Mediterranean, before returning to Britain to receive the Sea Fury.
The first squadron to receive the Seafire Mk.XV in the Pacific was No.801 Squadron (HMS Implacable), which received the new aircraft in September 1945 in Australia. The original intention had been to issue the new aircraft in preparation for the invasion of Japan. No.801 Squadron kept its Seafires until March 1946 when the squadron returned to the United Kingdom, leaving the aircraft behind.
No.805 Squadron received the Seafire XV in September 1945 and took it to the Mediterranean in July 1946, only to be limited to shore based operations in the next month. No.806 Squadron used the aircraft in the Far East from April 1946-October 1947, overlapping with No.804 Squadron, which was in the area from February-November 1947.
In December 1945 Canada decided to form an Air Branch for the RCN. This was to be based around the carrier HMCS Warrior, which was obtained from Britain and commissioned on 24 January 1946. On the same day four Canadian manned Fleet Air Arm squadrons were also transferred, amongst them Nos. 803 and 883 Squadrons with their Seafire XVs. A shortage of Canadian personnel meant that No.883 Squadron was disbanded on 23 February, and on 23-31 March the remaining squadrons sailed to Canada.
In the summer of 1947 the RCN adopted the Carrier Air Group system. Nos.803 and 825 Squadrons formed the 19th CAG and new Nos.883 and 826 Squadrons formed the 18th CAG. At first Nos.883 and 803 shared the same Seafires, before in August 1947 No.803 Squadron left for the UK to collect its new Hawker Sea Furies, leaving No.883 its aircraft. No.883 retained its Seafires until the summer of 1948, when it too converted to the Sea Fury.
The Seafire XV was also used by Burma, which ordered twenty de-navalised versions in 1951. These worked alongside the country's existing Spitfires.

https://nordicspace.net/2016/09/23/ruag-space-sweden-world-leading-supplier-of-satellite-adapters-and-dispensers/ | 2023-12-01T02:41:32 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100264.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20231201021234-20231201051234-00026.warc.gz | 0.958112 | 1,367 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__89842316 | en | When a satellite is about to be pushed into space, it is almost certain that a Swedish injector provides that final push. For decades, through development and production, the Swedish Ruag Space has gained excellent expertise and knowledge and now stands as the preferred supplier of satellite adapters and separation systems for nearly all launching operators. Until now, this has applied for single satellites only; however, new trends demand adapters and ejection systems for not only two but for a large number of satellites for the same launcher. Products from the company have very high reliability. To date, nearly 600 separations have been carried out with a success rate of 100%, thus it is not difficult to understand that the company is the preferred supplier for nearly all of the launch operators.
At the top of a launcher the satellite must have a very strong connection during the launch phase, something that may not seem to pose significant challenges, however, the satellite must also be injected into space at the end of the launch without significant disturbances. That is more challenging and requires techniques that are more advanced. Until recently, explosive bolts and springs have been the most commonly used solution, but even the small explosions give unwanted shocks for the satellite, thus a more soft ejection system has been developed.
Until recently, most of the launchers have had space enough for one satellite for every launch, though Ariane 5 launch for the most part has had two, but under two different fairings. Some launchers also provide possibilities for piggy backs. Small satellites under the same fairing as the main satellite.
The new trend in the market is the separation system allowing several more satellites to be carried during the same launch. The new separation system for two satellites under the same fairing is developed for the Soyuz launcher, and used launching the Galileo navigation satellites. This system is already well proven, but is only the beginning.
ThirtyTwo Satellites At the Same Launcher
The new product is a separation system for 32 satellites for each launch and for totally 650 satellites. Ruag Space recently won a very large order from Arianespace to develop and build a separation system for the American OneWeb. The OneWeb constellation will, when the system is operational in 2019, consist of 648 satellites at 1200 km altitude and will give a broadband access for much more peoples worldwide.
Ruag Space will deliver the dispenser system planned to place each of the satellites in position for transfer to the final orbit. This represents a very larger order for the company, an order that will involve a larger production plant and several more employers.
This order follows the prestige project for NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS). Four identical satellites in one stack under the same fairing, is not a simple task. However, the satellites are operational in the right orbit, and for Ruag Space it is a new feather in the hat; first of all because they were asked to develop the product, secondly, because they are going to deliver a product that functions completely as supposed.
Developing a Part of the Business
Ruag Space, previously owned by the Swedish Saab is now a part of the Swiss Ruag, constantly spends large resources to keep their leading position within their special field of products; developing new technical solutions, better material technology and new production techniques., fields that are constantly in need of developing.
Like most similar companies, Ruag Space is also focused on recruiting highly skilled and engaged employees. As a supplier of space qualified equipment, the company needs its engineers to develop increasingly more advanced products, as well as well qualified personnel to build the different types of Products.
In that respect, having a summer job in the company provides a possibility for the company to increase an interest for the company and for students, a possibility to get a foothold in the company. Summer jobs can include everything from matters of routine to participating in more advanced production and tests, additionally, it is also possible to sign up for Masters or Doctoral theses in the Company.
Ruag Space Sweden in Linkøping, Sweden, is the world leading company for production of satellite adapters and dispensers for the launching operators, and it delivers such equipment to nearly all launchers in the world. The market dominance was established in the time the company was owned by the Swedish Saab, and the very successful development has continued during the time as a part of the Swiss Ruag Company.
Until now most of the products have been adapters and ejectors for single satellites. At the top of the launcher, and during the fairing, the satellites are tightly connected to the launcher. Ruag’s product is a structure that has a bottom circumference adjusted to the top of launcher and an upper circumference adjusted to bottom of the satellite. With the separation sequence, the upper ring loosens from the launcher and springs give the satellite a last push. The sequence must be quick; the satellite must be given a soft push and now other pieces than the satellite are about to leaves into Space.
One satellite at the top of the launcher is a relatively simple construction, two satellite side by side, like two Galileo satellites at a Soyuz launcher, is somewhat more complicated, while 32 satellites at the same launcher give a very complicated dispenser system. The order from the Oneweb company in addition to the dispenser system, also includes the electronic equipment necessary for a complete separation sequence.
With the launch of the Galileo navigations satellites, it has become necessary to develop adapters and dispensers for two similar satellites at the same launcher, placed side by side, not like the dual launch with Ariane 5 where the upper satellite has its own structure. Developing the Galileo ejectors provided some new challenges; mounted side by side the satellites must be ejected without chance of collision with the other satellites.
A special challenge was the ejector system for the American MMS satellites. With four similar satellites mounted as a stack, the challenge was to place a new satellite at an underlying without damaging the ejection. The ejection sequence was very successful and the satellites are now operational in a correct formation. For the company in Linkøping, the request to develop and build the advanced ejection system on behalf of NASA was a great feather in their cap and an important step on the way to launch many satellites with the same launcher.
Right before we visited the company, they had received the order to develop and build a dispenser system for 32 satellites. The dispenser system will be built for the Soyuz launcher and for over twenty launchers.
Launching very small satellites with dedicated small launchers is a new trend. That will add new products to the line, and in size they are more like the parts for sounding rockets.

The Navigation SESAR Concepts Involving Operators project (hereafter named as NASCIO) is framed as follow up of activities initiated under the technological pillar of the Single European Sky (SES) initiative. This project aims at integrating, in a coordinated manner, various ongoing initiatives performed within different Research and Technological Frameworks, to develop new advanced navigation concepts defined within SESAR.
The NASCIO project is focused on the demonstration of the new Navigation Specifications described in the new PBN Manual, throughout eight scenarios involving all the key players of the Advanced ATM value chain: ANSPs, CAAs, operators (corporative, regional, commercial) and types of aircraft (rotorcraft, fixed wing).
In this regard, it is worth it to mention that, the NASCIO activity is fully aligned with SESAR Air Traffic Management System. Specifically, NASCIO project deals with activities linked to the following subjects:
- Satellite based Navigation: all the activities within the NASCIO project are proposed in order to demonstrate the benefits of the navigation based on GNSS to the widest audience.
- Approach Procedures with Vertical Guidance: most of the activities of the NASCIO project are dedicated to the demonstration or even the operational implementation of the new APV SBAS procedures. The objective is mainly to demonstrate the advantages of APV procedures into the rotorcraft domain (by the so-called RNAV PinS procedures), whilst implementing the procedure for fixed-wing operations.
- Optimised RNP: there is one activity at NASCIO fully aligned with the demonstration of the RNP concept. In particular, the intention is extent to the rotorcraft domain the most challenging procedures existing today: RNP-AR. The goal is therefore to perform some flight test in a very constraining scenario, taking advantage of some material and concepts developed in the framework of different European Projects.
- Enhanced situational awareness: the impact of the implementation of APV procedures is definitely and improved situational awareness for the pilots. In particular the incidence of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) which has occurred in a number of fatal crashes in general aviation (including rotorcraft) over the past decade can be reduced.
- Advanced flexible use of airspace: The new GNSS technologies offer several benefits for rotorcraft, and in the forthcoming years it is expected a wide deployment of new IFR procedures purely dedicated to rotorcraft. As a result, the introduction of rotorcraft flying in IFR inside busy airports is an important gap to be filled. The NASCIO project includes an activity which aims the testing of Simultaneous non-Interfering operations between helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft in Barcelona airport.
Various locations have been defined for the realisation of each scenario, getting a range of environments with different EGNOS SIS coverage status (Western Europe, Eastern Europe and North Africa). | aerospace |

Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) acknowledged that President Joe Biden responded to Russia purposefully attacking a U.S. drone by telling them “to get sensitivity training.” And that the proper response is to impose “exceptionally severe sanctions” on China to get at what’s supporting Russia.
Van Orden mentioned, “When a jet overflies another aircraft and intentionally dumps fuel on the aircraft and then winds up hitting the aircraft, that’s not an accident. … The Russian government intentionally attacked a United States military aircraft over international waters, and President Biden essentially told them to get sensitivity training. This is unacceptable. So, this type of strategic weakness that the Biden administration has repeatedly shown to Putin only makes the world a more dangerous place.”
Later, he acknowledged, “The way to handle this appropriately is to get at what supports Russia, and that is China. So, we need to be hitting China hard with exceptionally severe sanctions to make sure that they stop backing Putin. That’s the prudent and mature way to handle this problem set, and it is a problem set brought on by the incompetence of the Biden administration.”

Thermal conductivities for different volume ratios of cross-linked silica aerogel to RTV 655 were experimentally determined. Silica aerogel is an ideal insulator with a make up of 99% air. Cross-linked silica aerogel is a much stronger material while retaining the thermal properties of silica aerogel. RTV 655 can be shaped into any geometry and is stable under extreme temperature conditions. RTV 655 is a space qualified thermal insulator and the compound of aerogel-RTV 655 is being considered for use as a cryogenic propellant tank material for long duration space missions. Current cryogenic tanks, which are constructed using metals, experience self-pressurization due to incident solar radiation and extreme temperature changes. The heat transfer to the tank results in propellant vaporization. The compound cross-linked silica aerogel with RTV 655 is a new alternative for cryogenic tank constructions and may provide a means of significantly reducing the tank self pressurization rates. Several samples were made to test thermal properties of different volume ratios in an effort to assess the thermal conductivity of the combination of cross-linked silica aerogel and RTV 655. Thermal conductivity results are presented comparing a homogeneous compound consisting of micro scale aerogel particles embedded in RTV655 and a monolithic aerogel slab embedded in RTV 655.

The event, covered in live, high-definition footage, demonstrated considerable progress despite some challenges.
The launch, carried out under the approval of the US administration received less than 24 hours prior, took off from SpaceX's site in Starbase, Boca Chica, Texas at 14:25 Paris time. The SuperHeavy booster (B10) ignited its 33 engines, leading to the Starship SN28 achieving flight. As the first phase of flight went flawlessly, the rocket reached a speed of over 5,700 km/h at an altitude of 67km.
At this point in the journey, six of the Starship engines were ignited while 30 of the SuperHeavy's 33 were turned off. The Starship separated from the first stage, continuing its flight while Booster 10 returned to the Texas coast. The SuperHeavy, however, made an unstable return, crashing into the ocean at a high speed. Despite this, data from the event was captured for analysis and future tests.
The Starship’s Journey
With the Starship now on its own, it reached the edge of space, achieving speeds of almost 26,500 km/h. This trajectory was not a full orbital flight, instead passing over the Atlantic, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. The Starship reached an altitude of 235km, spending 30 minutes in a vacuum.
Test Procedures in Space
During the flight, a fuel transfer test took place between two tanks. NASA has acknowledged this test, with SpaceX referring to it only as an “initialization”. For safety reasons, the Starship did not reach a full orbit. This was in part due to the engine's failure to ignite in the vacuum of space, something that will be addressed in future tests.
Despite its numerous successes, the flight was not without its technical issues. For example, the Starlink satellite ejection bay opened successfully, but the Starship failed to reignite its engines and experienced some orientation thruster problems. After appearing to stabilize, contact was lost at an altitude of 65km, possibly due to issues with heat tiles, control, or other problems.
Investigation and Future Prospects
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has begun investigating SpaceX in light of the issues faced during the flight. Despite these setbacks, the flight is seen as progress and a complete success for a “traditional” orbital launcher. Still, improvements are needed in the areas of reusability and recovery. The Starship's eventual aim of reaching orbit seems feasible, making the reality of Starship more palpable. | aerospace |

Every accident that took the lives of the crew and destroyed the vehicle took place in the space of one calendar week, of course separated by decades.
Monday, January 27th, was the 53rd anniversary of the 1967 fire in Apollo 1 that took the lives of Gus Grissom, Roger Chaffee and Ed White, during a full test on the pad.
The next day, January 28th, is the anniversary of the 1986 Challenger disaster when the main fuel tank exploded 73 seconds after launch.
And today, February 1, is the anniversary of the 2003 Columbia disaster during reentry when undetected damage to a wing during launch allowed hot plasma enter into the wing, burning through the internal structure until the wing tore off the shuttle and tore the vehicle apart.
Spaceflight is inherently a very risky undertaking, but from the records and investigations of these events a pattern emerged that NASA’s higher levels of management failed in the task of proper risk mitigation and letting Quality Assurance and Quality Control standards slide. One would think that after the first time that failure would have been permanently rectified, but bureaucraps being what they are, it wasn’t.

The depiction of outer space in movies is something that leaves the inquisitive ones like me fascinated. And as an anonymous churning out words for a living on the blue planet, the news that Voyager 1 has now entered interstellar space couldn’t fill me with more pride than it already has!
Launched in 1977, the Voyager 1 has been a carrier of crucial information that has made us more aware of distant planets that make up this solar system. And although the spacecraft had already crossed into interstellar space in August 2012, the researchers at NASA have announced it only recently. Analyzing the oscillation pitch of the vibrations from an explosion on sun, the spacecraft has been deduced to be bathed in a plasma density which is around 40 times denser than the outer layer of the heliosphere, something which only interstellar space will exhibit. The spacecraft has also sent a sound recording of these ionic vibrations while being 11 million miles away. The sounds are eerie and levitating and inadvertently manage to pique one’s curiosity.
Having treaded into territory anew, the presence of Voyager 1 is a milestone in itself and provides us with the opportunity to understand the workings of interstellar space. The sounds of interstellar space and the exploration possibilities have given me major goosebumps and left me eager to see what comes next! | aerospace |

She was converted from the Italian ocean liner Conte Rosso that was under construction when the First World War began, and became the first example of what is now the standard pattern of aircraft carrier, with a full-length flight deck that allowed wheeled aircraft to take off and land. After commissioning, the ship was heavily involved for several years in the development of the optimum design for other aircraft carriers. Argus also evaluated various types of arresting gear, general procedures needed to operate a number of aircraft in concert, and fleet tactics. The ship was too top-heavy as originally built and had to be modified to improve her stability in the mid-1920s. She spent one brief deployment on the China Station in the late 1920s before being placed in reserve for budgetary reasons.
History[edit | edit source]
Argus was laid down in 1914 by William Beardmore and Company in Dalmuir, as the Conte Rosso. She was renamed after her purchase in September 1916 and was launched on December 2nd, 1917, her building having been slowed by labour shortages.
On September 6th 1918, HMS Argus was commissioned into the Royal Navy as the world's first flush deck aircraft carrier. She would have a busy eighteen months undergoing tests with carrier-based aircraft of various designs to prove the concept of an aircraft carrier. The finale of her trials and highlight of her career would be the sinking of the recently completed SMS Württemberg in Summer 1920. Due to her small speed and slow size, she was severely limited as a combat vessel and so spent most of her career as a training and testing ship.
On October 1st 1918, the first successful takeoff on the ship was accomplished with by a Sopwith Ship Strutter. The same month, the ship was used in trials to evaluate the effects which an island superstructure would have on flying operations, with a canvas-and-wood dummy island being installed with a smoke box to simulate funnel gases.
By December 19th, 36 successful landings had been made by Ship Strutters and Sopwith Pups.
HMS Argus underwent a refit from December 23rd to March 21st 1919 with modified arresting gear. The wires of the arresting gear had been lifted off the deck so they could engage the hooks on the undercarriages of the aircraft, but this prevented the use of the flight deck for any other purpose. The aft lift was therefore lowered 9 inches, which allowed aircraft to use the area when the lift was raised flush with the rest of the flight deck. Trials began in April and the lift was widened in October.
Argus joined the Atlantic Fleet in January 1920 for its Spring Cruise carrying eight Ship Strutters, four Sopwith Camel fighters, two Airco DH.9As and two Fairey floatplanes. Operational experience confirmed that the aircraft should attempt to land directly onto the arresting gear lest they be blown over the side of the carrier, as happened three times during the cruise.
On July 21st 1920, Argus was tasked with attacking the former SMS Württemberg with her air wing to test the effectiveness of current aerial bombs and torpedoes in damaging or sinking an enemy capital ship. The test took place 2 miles off Eilean Mhuire in the Shiant Islands of the Outer Hebrides.
The first wave of aircraft to take off from HMS Argus were Sopwith T.1 Cuckoos. They cannot land back on the carrier, so they were ordered to land ashore and reload there once their runs were completed. They were to take off from the HMS Argus to give their pilots experience with this, and they had been modified to carry 2 x 250lb bombs each.
After they took off, HMS Argus launched her own Sopwith 1½ Strutters, each carry their maximum load of 60kg of bombs which were to be deployed against the SMS Württemberg, before landing back on the HMS Argus to reload. After the two flights finished bombing, the Württemberg was boarded and inspected for damage. The Sopwith Strutters then took off to bomb her again, while the Sopwith Cuckoos were reloaded with their designed payload of a single 18" Mk.VIII torpedo each. They then proceeded to torpedo the bow and stern of the Württemberg, after which she was once again re-boarded and the internal effect of the torpedo damage inspected. | aerospace |

By Mar-Vic Cagurangan
Variety News Staff
DESPITE the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's dissatisfaction with the U.S. Air Force's preliminary environmental impact study, or EIS, the Pentagon has decided to proceed with its plan to base permanent tankers on Guam to support the Air Strike mission at Andersen Air Force Base.
The Air Force says it will implement its existing environmental protection measures for Andersen and just reevaluate them in the future as the mission goes along.
In the Record of Decision dated Jan. 12, Air Force Deputy Assistant Fred W. Kuhn said "the decision takes into account the direct, indirect and cumulative impacts from the alternative."
"The Air Force, when balancing the essential considerations of national policy, the selection standards and other matters, chose Andersen AFB and did not carry the other six installations considered forward for detailed analysis in the EIS," Kuhn said.
The Air Force has identified Andersen Air Force Base as the site best suited to host the air strike force compared to Iwo Jima, Japan, Saipan, Diego Garcia, Wake Island and Hawaii, which were initially considered as alternative locations for the mission.
"From Guam, combat aircraft are within easy striking range of the region's likely potential hot spots, yet far enough from an adversary's missile launch sites to limit the likely effects of such strikes," stated the Record of Decision, which contains the final EIS.
Last year, the USEPA urged the Air Force to conduct a more substantial environmental analysis and address other "reasonable and foreseeable" issues before proceeding with its plan to build up an Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance and Strike, or Strike Force, at Andersen.
The Air Force published its draft preliminary EIS before the Pentagon's release of the Guam Integrated Military Development Plan in July 2006.
"The Air Force recognizes that future actions are planned for Guam," Kuhn said. "However, the Air Force cannot reasonably speculate on preliminary proposals that are still under development and that are not presently capable of meaningful analysis."
He said details contained in the Guam Integrated Military Development Plan are "currently undefined, speculative and not conducive to an informative environmental analysis."
The Air Force says additional planning to modify the EIS will take two more years to complete. Kuhn said the Air Force is not inclined to wait that long, noting the unavailability of information needed to assess the cumulative impacts on Guam environment.
"The Air Force does not consider the unavailable information regarding potential relocation of Marines to Guam to be relevant to any significant environmental impacts or essential to any reasoned choice among alternatives for ISR/Strike bed down and operations," Kuhn said.
"Furthermore," he added, "even if such information were relevant to significant adverse impacts or essential to a choice among alternatives, the Air Force considers the cost of a two-year delay to obtain that information for this EIS to be exorbitant and inconsistent with the Air Force's responsibilities to the Department of Defense mission."
Kuhn, however, said the Air Force will put in place several conservation measures and mitigations to protect Guam's natural resources and habitat for endangered local species, including the Mariana fruit bats, kingfishers and crows. The Air Force also says it will strictly implement a solid waste management system on base.
These measures, Kuhn said, "could be reexamined and reevaluated in any future environmental impact analysis for potential future federal actions on Guam."
The Pentagon is planning to deploy 12 KC-135 tanker aircraft and four Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicles and personnel to Andersen Air Force Base on a permanent basis. As many as 40 fighter planes such as the F-22 and the F-15E and six bomber aircraft will be rotated from bases in the 50 states. The mission will be deployed in four phases over a period of 16 years.
Air Force officials expect the Andersen population to increase by 3,000.
The ISR/Strike's mission, according to the Pentagon, is "to achieve pre-engagement battle space awareness, locate and identify critical adversary movement, achieve assured success through air dominance, and deliver decisive effects via persistent and precise application of air and space power." | aerospace |
https://www.sundaytimes.lk/111127/Education/ed37.html | 2022-08-14T03:19:33 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00246.warc.gz | 0.954969 | 831 | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-33__0__86089758 | en | During the past two years, the Civil Aviation Training Centre (CATC), the training arm of Airport & Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Limited, commenced developing curricular for courses targeting the Next Generation of Professionals in the Aviation Industry. The “Diploma in Aviation” was the salient one. Its aim was to develop the younger generation who are enthusiastic about a career in aviation into dynamic, qualified and result oriented professionals for the industry and to enhance their employability.
The CATC has hitherto been focused on the provision of training in highly specialized aviation disciplines such as Air Traffic Control, Avionics Engineering, Aeronautical Communication, Aviation Security, Fire & Rescue and other related areas in Air Navigations and Airport Management mainly for the employees of Airport & Aviation Services and for airport operators in the region. It was at this juncture the company made the land mark decision to expand the programmes of the CATC to cater to the human resource demands of the local aviation industry. The “Diploma in Aviation” particularly targets the middle level executive positions in the non-skill based disciplines in the aviation industry such as Airport Management, Airline Management, Airport & Airline Revenue Management and those in the allied services such as cargo and tourism.
The programme is organized into two courses, namely the “Awareness in the Aviation Industry” and “Alignment with the Aviation Industry”. Sandwiched in between is a familiarization attachment. Entry qualification is G.C.E Advanced level or equivalent. The courses content is a spectacular blend of theory and practice that provide knowledge of the aviation industry in general, airport and airline operations, aviation legislation and allied service operations as well as analytical, managerial and communication skills for the successful students to embark on aviation careers as effective and dynamic professionals. Students must also complete extensive course work and a specified project. Both courses must be successfully completed in order to earn the diploma. The total programme takes approximately six months. Subject matter experts drawn from the industry and eminent higher education institutions supplement the experienced faculty of resource persons of the CATC in delivering the course.
The skill based aviation professions such as flying, air traffic control and aerospace engineering have well established institutions providing avenues for students to develop themselves into those professions. However there are many fields within the aviation industry for which there are no formally established development avenues. These fields too require formal knowledge and skills unique to the aviation industry which are generally provided through on the job training which is costly for the industry. Managerial positions in these fields go to general graduates who undergo further training after recruitment. There is a vacuum in respect of middle level executive positions. A common practice is to employ Advance level qualified youngsters and train them on the job. It is in fact this category that the CATC has targeted through its diploma programme.
Students who successfully complete this programme are readily absorbable to any non-skill based profession in the aviation industry and allied trades requiring minimal further training. They possess sufficient supervisory skills to task manage small homogeneous teams and basic analytical skills to solve day to day operational problems. Further they have been sufficiently inculcated with the attitudes required by aviation professionals such as those concerning safety and contingency.
The first batch of 26 students who enrolled for the first programme in this year is scheduled to pass out in December. That would be the opportunity for the aviation industry to have its middle level human resource requirements fulfilled with minimum in house training resulting in substantial savings for the respective organizations.
“It was a challenging and nevertheless gratifying task to teach the first batch” says Kishantha Nimalaratne, the senior resource person in Air Traffic Services at the CATC who managed the first programme. He adds that the students were very enthusiastic and that novel techniques were employed to keep them focused.
The CATC plans to enroll the next batch soon after the results of this years G.C.E. Advanced Level examination of August 2011 are out.

The sharp bend air company Transasia Airways flight GE235 plane touched the wing tip of February car trestle and fell into the river immediately after took off from Taipei airport Songsano. On board were 53 passengers and five crew members; only 15 people were saved.
Taiwan Aviation Safety Council published shocking audio from the cockpit of the transcript shows that the pilots reacted to the failure of one engine, with a thrust weakened, but mistakenly reduced the other, the sound of the engine thrust.
A report published on Thursday said that the fault triggering warning signal liners reaching 365 meters in height.
The signal indicated that the plane of the second engine "rise took flame.
Faulty engine warning signal has been identified as 2nd engine, but the aircraft by the pilot said, "Pull back the 1st engine thrust lever."
Then the plane had become unmanageable because both engines did not work, and the pilots desperately tried to restart, a few seconds before the crash.
Last words, familiar from black boxes record, was co-pilot cry: "Blow, blow! Prepare the middle! "
Investigators declined to name the aircraft the pilot had been in power, but immediately after the posting of the disaster was said to have been the pilot Liao Chien-chung. | aerospace |

“We will draw conclusions when we have the truth about what happened,” he said. “Whether it was an accident, or whether it was – and it’s something that is on our minds – terrorism.”
There were 15 French citizens aboard the flight, and France has offered to help Greek and Egyptian forces who are currently searching for the rubble in seas south of the Greek island of Karpathos.
The plane was 37,000 feet above the ground and about 10 miles into Egyptian air space, the airline announced on Twitter today. As it entered the Egyptian air space, it swerved “90 degrees left and 360 degrees to the right” then plunged, according to Greece’s Defence Minister Panos Kammenos. | aerospace |

Global media and foreign countries praised ISRO on the successful launch of Chandrayaan-2.
Talking about the importance of Chandrayaan 2, Sivan added that the mission aims at discovering new lunar science and also hopes demonstration of new technological development in ‘soft landing’.
India’s Moon Mission-2 is a lunar mission which no other country in the world has ever gone before – the Moon’s south polar region, as explained by ISRO. With this epic achievement, India becomes the fourth country after the likes of the US, Russia and China to land a probe on the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan 2 was lifted off from ISRO’s traditional home base- Sriharikota (Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh) at 2:43 PM on Monday. The mission was planned, designed and was executed on a budget of Rs. 960 crores ($140 million).
Chandrayaan 2 is expected to make a ‘soft landing’ on the lunar South Pole – between two craters — Manzinus C and Simpelius N — at a latitude of about 70° south, on September 6.
This is India’s second trip to the moon and the first probe, Chandrayaan 1, that was launched in October 2008, made India the first country in the world to complete a successful moon landing in the maiden attempt.
Following Chandrayaan-2 launch, NASA and international media praised Indian scientists for their accomplished work in executing the mission successfully.
“Congrats to ISRO on the launch of Chandrayaan 2, a mission to study the Moon. We’re proud to support your mission comms using our Deep Space Network and look forward to what you learn about the lunar South pole where we will send astronauts on our Artemis mission in a few years,” NASA congratulated ISRO on the launch of India’s Moon Mission-2. | aerospace |

On February 2, 2011 Spencer Lisenby flew his own design the Kinetic 100 DP to 468mph setting a new world record at Norco California in winds gusting over 65mph. Here is a video compilation part of that flight. The radar gunner, Chris Bosley also flew the plane and his flight is included in the second half of the video. Unfortunately in the second portion of the flight the plane is more visible than the world record passes for three reasons. One the plane is flown less aggressively at a much slower rate, 405mph (borrowed plane :o) two, the second pilot is wearing a helmet camera so the camera is naturally following the plane and nobody fly's as well as Spencer. During the record passes the radar gunner was more concerned about getting the speed on radar and not thinking about filming the flight so there's a bit of quick camera movement. EDIT: PLEASE DOWN LOAD THE ORIGINAL VIDEO AT: http://rcspeeds.com/pilot.aspx?p=74 I understand during Spencer's flight many YouTube viewers can't see the plane and wish they could. If you like the video and would like to see the plane carving up every lap try downloading the original HD video and viewing it on a lage computer screen! Chris Bosley

New project - MiG-29! - https://youtu.be/Nj8eJcnN27U The intensity of the struggle, the joy of victory, all this can be seen in this 16-minute film.
Taken from Helifreak.com. Video and commentary by the godfather of rc helis, Finless Bob :) Tim Jones has built a Trex 700 electric conversion based around a prototype Castle Creations motor. The initial word was that the motor was putting out around 7 horsepowers. How ever the last thing I heard about this insane motor (supposedly after some data logging was performed) it was putting out about 10 horsepowers(!). That's over 7000 watts of power output in a machine that weighs just over 5 kilos! Compare that to the stock nitro engine which produces about 3.4 hp (total fly weight here is somewhat lower though). As an interesting side note (although a somewhat inappropriate comparison) one of the most powerful full scale helis in the world, the American millitary attack helicopter AH-64D Apache Longbow (i.e. the most powerful version) has a power to weight ratio of 0.773 horsepowers per kilo. Even in the wold of rc 3D helis that's powerful. That's how ever without any weapons, fuel or pilot. In the same way the full scale Bell222 (the Airwolf helicopter) has a ratio of 0.598 hp per kilo. Loaded and ready for combat the Apache has a power to weight ratio of 0.499 hp per kilo. Still very powerful. How ever, assuming this Trex700E conversion heli weighs about the same as other electric conversions "The Beast" should be approaching 2 whole horsepowers per kilo! And that's with the heavy batteries installed. A Trex 700 is about the length of a 3 seated sofa or couch. It's very big and normally moves like "a hog" compared to smaller sizes but Tim's conversion is like a finch. It's capable of moving around more like a 50 sized heli even though it's a 90 size. Suffice to say... power to weight ratio on this thing is sick. By far the most powerful rc heli I've ever seen. Be sure to view in HD and crank up the volume. The blade farts on this thing nicknamed "The Beast" are pure music.
My pride and joy.... its first ever crash after 12 months of flying and for once the crash was caught on camera.
This is a HUGE 20 ft. wingspan RC aircraft called an Aerions Caudron Air Racer from the 40's. Has an electric start JPX320 reduction drive motor-turning a 42x12 prop-weighs 264 lbs. And to date, he has NOT taken his son up for a ride-at least not to my knowledge! Quite a 2 year project-on board camera.

Googled a picture of him in Oz. He seems to be an expert on aircraft colour schemes.
For myself, I never cared too much about that so long as there was some paint on the surface (memories of polishing an unpainted helicopter at Halton with wadding), and I didn't like the shiny polyeurathene used by the RAF in the late '60s (shiny camouflage on Harriers). A combination of extreme anhedral, shiny paint, rain and issue RAF shoes had me sliding off the end of the wing many times, lucky it wasn't far to fall. We much preferred the matt finish used later, though it was a bit harder to clean. Took a few knots off the top speed, as well... Replies: | aerospace |

They intend to use the moon's dusty soil (officially known as regolith) as a printing raw material. Instead of hauling tons of heavy equipment from Earth, the plan is to use readily available resources on the moon to build what is needed.
Engineers want to 3D print with regolith from the moon for a long time, and in fact, they have proven the procedure on Earth possible. Bringing a 3D printer to ISS for testing is a significant step toward making the technology suitable for deployment. The researchers would like to know if printing without gravity is possible and what the strength of the printed material should be.
NASA Wants a 3D Printer Using Moon Dust To Print in Space
Universe Today said that NASA will attach the RRP project to another printer called ManD to make a simulated regolith.
If that goes well, the ISS crew will examine the material's strength to determine if it can withstand circumstances on other planets.
If RRP does its task successfully, it might bring forth the possibility of printing materials needed to create space settlements. This may cut down on the number of construction materials NASA needs to transport to the Moon and Mars.
For years, scientists have been planning soil-based ecosystems. The RRP project is an attempt by the agency to 3D print dirt in a reduced gravity environment.
You Can Still Pretend To Live on Mars Without Leaving Earth
A 3D printer will make the Martian home, which will be 1,700 feet long. It will be constructed inside Houston's Johnson Space Center.
NASA will pay four individuals who will voluntarily participate in a simulated Martian exploration mission. The simulation includes limited communications, spacewalks, supplies, and food, as well as equipment failures.
The space agency will split the tests into three phases, which will begin in mid-2022. NASA's senior scientist, Grace Douglas, stated that they want to know how humanity would fare in the Red Planet.
According to USA Today, the space agency specified several criteria for volunteers to meet to be considered for the program.
A master's degree in engineering, physics, math, or pilot experience is required of volunteers. Only citizens or permanent US residents are eligible to apply.
They should be between the ages of 30 and 55, in good physical condition, have no dietary restrictions, and are not susceptible to motion sickness.
Former Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield believes that it demonstrates NASA's need for volunteers familiar with astronauts. If the volunteers are comparable to people who will travel to Mars, the tests will provide better results.
Hadfield, who stayed in the International Space Station for five months, believes that having the proper individual for the experiment would be beneficial. Volunteers, he added, might use their time to learn a new skill or catch up on TV series. Volunteers might gain 'freedom' by spending a year away from the responsibilities of ordinary life.
When it comes to space experiments, Hadfield believes that attitude is crucial. Participants must be resourceful, capable, and not dependent on others for comfort.

Selma is set to be the home of the nation’s first airport where air traffic controllers, at an offsite location, guide aircraft through takeoff and landing. Advanced ATC, incorporated chose Craig Field in Dallas County to host a Remote Tower Air Traffic Control Center. The so-called “RTC” would take the place of air traffic controllers who typically work inside a tower at a given airport. The new center will route airplanes using cameras, real-time video and other technologies. Advanced ATC will spend nearly $5 million dollars to install the system at Craig Field, which is a former U.S. Air Force Base. No remote tower centers are currently in operation in the U.S., though the technology is rapidly gaining popularity in Europe. Craig Field will also be the location for a training academy for remote air traffic controllers as the technology spreads across the United States. Advanced ATC plans to hire close to thirty people for the Craig Field operation in the first year. The employment figure is expected to rise to over one hundred within five years, creating an annual payroll of $8 million dollars. | aerospace |

The Boeing 767-300 for our flight was C-GBZR a former Canadian Airlines aircraft which still retained its dark blue Canadian Airlines interior which in my opinion is not as nice as Air Canada`s Business Class interior. The Business-Class cabin seating was comfortable with ample pitch configured with five rows of 1-2-2. However the seats are not fully-reclining as compared to the Business-Class seats on most other Air Canada 767-300s which recline to near flat.
How can one determine the relative advantages of charters jet card user status fractional ownership as compared to private jet ownership and which makes the most sense for you? The decision to buy a private aircraft is driven by three considerations: status financial and operational. The status issue is purely and completely a personal one and can only be judged by the persons themselves. The financial issue relates to potential savings in direct travel costs or possible tax benefits of outright ownership as compared to alternative means of private flight travel typically charters jet card or fractional ownership - used currently by the prospective buyer.
For those who use the charter frequently there are a few options. One will be to opt for something like an annual pass become a card holder member which will allow for lot of added benefits cost wise. But take into account the membership fee` here as well. The other option will be to share the ownership of a craft like in time share. But this will include the aircraft maintenance cost as well and as you will be a part owner it is possible for two owners to demand the use of the craft at the same time. And always read the fine print especially for hidden costs like cabin crew in flight snacks etc. | aerospace |

Previously operating from Miami to destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean, N620DL (msn: 22910) has lately been operating a twice-daily weekday DHL-related run between Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle. The routing of this run is very similar to a now-defunct route operated by Air Transport International with DC-8-70Fs on behalf of the now-shuttered BAX network.
Orlando-based Capital Cargo, like Air Transport International, has been part of Air Transport Services Group since 2007. Capital operates a fleet of 12 727-200s and two converted 757 freighters.
N620DL, as the registration implies, was originally delivered to Delta Air Lines in 1986. It was converted for Capital in 2007 by Precision Conversions. The Precision Conversions freighter eliminates the original L1 passenger door and replaces it with a smaller crew entrance further forward on the fuselage that mirrors that of the factory-built 757-200PF (mainly used by UPS).
The 757-200PCF offers 15 main deck pallet positions and, equipped as this one is with Pratt & Whitney 2037 engines, a 2,700 nmi range with 68,000 lbs of payload.

More than a month late after a Falcon 9 engine problem grounded the mission, the payload of the GPS navigation exploded in a clear autumn sky at 6:24:23 PM EST (2324:23 GMT) by Thursday.
After departing from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station pad 40 with 1.7 million pounds of thrust, the 229-foot (70-meter) Falcon 9 rocket headed northeast from Florida’s Space Coast on a runway parallel to the east coast of the United States.
The nine main engines of the Merlin 1D rocket shut down and the first stage separates for about two and a half minutes after the start of the flight.
While the single Merlin engine on the upper stage powered the GPS satellite into orbit, the Falcon 9’s reusable first stage repeater dropped to a timely landing on the SpaceX football field-sized drone ship floating in the Atlantic Ocean at approximately 400 miles (630 kilometers) downstream from Cape Canaveral.
The second stage of the Falcon 9 ignited twice to maneuver the US Space Force’s fourth third-generation GPS satellite – designated GPS 3 SV04 – into an egg-shaped transfer orbit with an altitude of approximately 250 miles ( 400 kilometers) and 12,550 miles (20,200 kilometers). ), with an inclination of 55 degrees relative to the equator, according to the tracking data available to the public.
These figures confirm that the Falcon 9 rocket hit its marks before deploying the Lockheed Martin-built GPS 3 SV04 satellite nearly 90 minutes after takeoff, concluding SpaceX’s 20th mission of the year.
Lockheed Martin confirmed in a statement that ground crews at the company’s satellite control center near Denver have made contact with the nearly five-ton GPS spacecraft, which will run its liquid apogee engine more in the coming days. times to reach a circular orbit. 12,550 miles above the Earth.
Ground controllers will send commands to the GPS satellite to deploy its solar panels and energy-generating antennas, perform the checks, then deliver the spacecraft to the Army’s Space Operations Command.
The GPS 3 SV04 satellite will join 31 operational spacecraft in the GPS fleet providing positioning, navigation and timing data to billions of military and civilian users around the world, providing information to cell phones, cars, airplanes and ships.
The new satellite will complete its checkout and test program in about a month, and authorities expect the GPS 3 SV04 to be ready for operational use in a few months, according to the Space Force.
“The GPS 3 program continues to make great strides in modernizing the GPS constellation for the US Space Force, while maintaining the gold standard for location, navigation and timing,” said Colonel Edward Byrne, head of the Medium Earth Orbit Space Systems division. of Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center.
The GPS 3 Series satellites are designed for 15-year lifetimes, an improvement over the seven-and-a-half-year and 12-year design lives of previous generation GPS satellites.
“The GPS 3 satellites represent a major step forward in terms of both capacity and resilience over previous GPS satellites,” said Byrne. “GPS is a key element for the US military and its allies and provides worldwide services to more than 4 billion civilian users around the world.”
The first of 10 GPS 3 series satellites launched in December 2018, followed by two more GPS 3 satellites in August 2019 and June 30 this year. According to Lockheed Martin, GPS 3 satellites provide three times the accuracy and up to eight times better anti-jamming capabilities than early GPS spacecraft.
The GPS 3 satellites also introduce a new civil L-band signal compatible with other international navigation satellite networks, such as the European Galileo program. Combining signals from GPS, Galileo, and other navigation satellites can improve the accuracy of position measurements in space.
In September, Space Force officials announced they had reached an agreement with SpaceX to launch future GPS 3 satellites on previously piloted Falcon 9 booster rockets. The first booster flown in Thursday night’s mission will be refurbished and used again for the launch of the next GPS 3 satellite in mid-2021, officials said.
Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center, or SMC, signed an updated contract with SpaceX in September to cover the deal to fly the next two GPS satellites on reused Falcon 9 repeaters. A reused Falcon 9 first stage will also launch the GPS 3 SV06 mission, which will likely fly in late 2021 or early 2022.
Restructured contracts between Space Force and SpaceX allowed the Falcon 9’s first booster stage to land after the previous GPS satellite launch on June 30. SpaceX also launched the first Series 3 GPS satellite in December 2018, but military officials required the launch company to reserve all of the Falcon 9’s propellant for launching that spacecraft, leaving no residual fuel for descent and landing. .
Space Force loosened their requirements for SpaceX’s upcoming launch with a GPS satellite earlier this year by adjusting the perigee, or lower point, of the target orbit for deploying the GPS payload at an altitude. inferior. This ensured that the Falcon 9 rocket could land the booster on the June 30 mission, saving the Space Force several million dollars.
Taking into account the changes to allow booster recovery on four GPS missions starting June 30th launch, and then reuse of the rocket on two GPS missions starting next year, the updated launch contracts between Space Force and SpaceX have resulted in at savings of $ 52.7 million, officials said.
Next year’s GPS 3 SV05 mission will be the first high-priority homeland security payload to be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket with a previously piloted booster stage. Space Force officials will thoroughly review SpaceX’s rocket refurbishment and reuse procedures and policies before releasing the GPS 3 SV05 satellite for launch aboard a recycled booster next year.
This will help lay the groundwork for the launch of more national security satellites on Falcon rockets with reused first-stage boosters.
“This is our journey to understand how SpaceX performs the refurbishment of previously used hardware,” said Walt Lauderdale, head of SMC’s Falcon Systems and Operations division and mission director for the countdown and launch of GPS 3 SV04. : We would then compare it with qualification. It is learning and then evaluating all the work they do to prepare these boosters to fly again.
“So that requires reviewing a number of different systems and making sure we are good across the board with the previously used hardware, not just this particular booster,” Lauderdale said in a conference call with reporters in September.
Flying 2,600 miles (4,200 kilometers) over the Pacific Ocean, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has deployed the US Army’s SV04 GPS 3 navigation satellite into an orbit on the target.

With the GPS 3 SV04 satellite safely in orbit, SpaceX’s next mission is the launch of the first regular Crew Dragon astronaut flight to the International Space Station, scheduled to take off November 14 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A in Florida.
NASA engineers will analyze data from Thursday night’s GPS launch to ensure the Merlin engines are ready to go on the Falcon 9 rocket assigned to the Crew Dragon launch.
SpaceX first tried to launch the GPS 3 SV04 satellite on October 2, but an engine problem forced the automatic shutdown just two seconds before takeoff.
Engineers investigating the October 2 outage found that two of the rocket’s nine first stage engines had a tendency to fire a split second earlier than expected. Inspections showed that a stuck relief valve in the gas generators of the two engines caused the pressure to rise earlier than expected at startup, and the sensors on the engines detected the problem and stopped the countdown.
SpaceX engineers have identified a masking treatment left inadvertently in two Merlin engines as the cause of the interrupted countdown last month. Inspections revealed the substance blocking a line leading to a pressure relief valve in the gas generator on two of the engines originally intended for the GPS mission.
Hans Koenigsmann, SpaceX’s vice president of construction and flight reliability, said the vent port, which means only one-sixteenth of an inch wide, was clogged with a hardened protective paint. He said liquid lacquer – similar to red enamel – is used by a third-party vendor that anodizes aluminum engine components for SpaceX.
The lacquer protects some parts during the anodizing treatment process, but the vendor – which officials have not identified – should remove the material before shipping the components to SpaceX for engine production.
The gas generator on each Merlin engine drives a turbopump that feeds kerosene propellants and liquid oxygen into the main combustion chamber.
SpaceX replaced the two suspicious engines on the Falcon 9 first stage for the GPS 3 SV04 mission, then performed a test launch of the rocket on Saturday at Pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This gave officials enough confidence to proceed with the GPS launch countdown on Thursday.
A review of the Merlin engines in SpaceX’s rocket fleet found that two of the Falcon 9 rocket engines for the Crew Dragon flight showed similar initial signatures to the launcher’s engines for the GPS mission.
SpaceX said last week that it would replace those two engines on the Falcon 9 launcher for the Crew Dragon mission. The engine problem delayed the launch of Crew Dragon from October 31st to November 14th.
Steve Stich, NASA’s commercial crew program manager, said last week that the agency’s engineers wanted to review engine data from the GPS launch before releasing the Crew Dragon for takeoff later this month.

Ed Whitma/Johns Hopkins APL/NASA
Elon Musk’sSpaceX has announced that it will launch an unprecedented planetary defense mission on Wednesday for NASA. This spacecraft will then be sent to an intentionally crashed into an asteroid.
Omar Baez (NASA’s Launch Services Program Senior Launch Director) said, “We are smashing into an asteroids,” during a conference. It’s unbelievable that this is happening.
Named the Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission (or DART), the agency seeks “how to deflect an attack that would come” towards Earth. Thomas Zurbuchen is NASA’s associate administrator for the science mission directorate.
He stated, “Rest assured. That rock right now does not pose a threat.”
SpaceX will launch DART aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, from Vandenberg Space Force Base (California), with a liftoff window starting at 1.20 AM. ET on Wednesday.
DART is an 610-kilogram spacecraft, that will travel for 10 months to two asteroids. They are called Didymos (or Dimorphos) and DART. DART was developed by Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Maryland, and a space company RedwireThe spacecraft’s navigation system and the solar arrays which will fuel it were contributed by you.
Dimorphos is the smaller of both the asteroids. Spacecraft will travel at 15,000 mph and observe how impact affects the trajectory.
Here’s a summary of DART Mission Plan.
NASA/Johns Hopkins APL
NASA’s DART mission costs $330m in total. SpaceX won a $69m contract for 2019 to launch the spacecraft. DART represents SpaceX’s first spacecraft launch to another planet.
This is the most amazing mission. SpaceX’s director for civil satellite missions Julianna Scheiman expressed gratitude to everyone who allowed SpaceX to take part in this important mission.
SpaceX tested the Falcon 9 rocket in preparation of its launch last Friday.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, with its Double Asteroid Redirection Testing (or DART), spacecraft, is visible at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. This was taken during sunrise on Nov. 23, 20,21.

The Dimorphos is roughly the same size as the Great Pyramid of Giza. However, Didymos is larger than the One World Trade Center tower is high. Once it has reached the asteroids and is not yet smashed into them, DART will send a cube satellite out to photograph the impact.
Zurbuchen stressed that NASA does not know of any immediate risks to Earth while the mission tests a method for planetary defense. While there are millions of comets and asteroids around the sun, very few will ever reach Earth.
Zurbuchen declared, “Of all near Earth objects we know now, none are a danger within 100 years.”

Currently, most of the drones in Malaysia are still used for agriculture and security / surveillance purposes. However, drone deliveries could be on the horizon after AirAsia's pilot tests in Cyberjaya in March 2021.
The focus of this scene is also the South Korean company PABLO AIR, which offers drone logistics solutions and delivery services. It is part of the current Global Accelerator Program (GAP) of the Malaysian Global Innovation & Creativity Center (MaGIC), but more on that later.
We spoke to PABLO AIR team leader Derek Lee to learn more about what their involvement with GAP means for the company and for Malaysia's drone technology industry.
I know already
PABLO AIR was launched in 2018 and has already had some notable successes in the delivery of drones. It made the news in December 2020 after its drones made a 50-mile (about 80.6 km) journey from Incheon New Port to two islands, Yeonghuengdo Island and Jawoldo Island.
The journey lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes and was the longest drone flight in Korea to date. Emergency medication and everyday objects were successfully scanned.

Previously, PABLO AIR had also made a 35.7 mile (approx. 57.5 km) journey from Seogwipo Port in Jejudo to Udo Port in 1 hour and 56 minutes.
"Thanks to these successful demonstrations, we will start the actual drone delivery services (for) the delivery of products in convenience stores and medical supplies in the first quarter of 2022," said Derek.
The company also raised $ 8 million in a pre-Series B round in July 2021 and announced that the funds would go towards global expansion.
This also means a possible expansion into Malaysia, which is one of the reasons PABLO AIR joined as part of Cohort 5 GAP.
Find the right local partner
Each country has its own regulations for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) like drones. In Korea, PABLO AIR commended related government agencies for their support and assistance in conducting the drone delivery demonstrations.
But as it expands, it will have to find similar support from foreign governments. "Because it includes aviation regulations and laws, it is very restrictive and provides limited access to a foreign company," added Derek.
"To meet this challenge, we are now turning to government agencies and corporate partners who can help us carry out a Proof of Concept (POC) in Malaysia."
This is where MaGIC's GAP comes in to help the company build its market strategy and expand its partners in Malaysia. An example of what PABLO AIR was able to benefit from is the knowledge of the National Technology and Innovation Sandbox (NTIS), with which future collaborations are now being discussed.
While this solves a challenge for the startup, there is something else to consider: the localization of its solution.
"For example, some countries appreciate our technology and medical care service, but the other countries may be more interested in small package delivery from a restaurant or logistics company that is looking to replace its supply chain volume with our drone service," said Derek.
"Since our solution ultimately serves both companies and customers (end users), we have to aggressively adapt our business model and our solution to another country with different requirements."
Cooperation on commercialization of drone technology
After expanding into Malaysia, Derek shared what PABLO AIR could do to our local drone technology industry.
"Since we were the first generation of drone startups in South Korea, we know (what) the Korean regulators have done to promote the industry and gradually remove regulatory obstacles."
"For example, if you want to operate drones beyond line of sight (BVLOS), there are a lot of different considerations to be made in order to be approved for operation," he said.
Dictionary time: BVLOS is a term that refers to the operation of UAVs and drones at distances beyond the normal range of vision of the pilot (500 m). BVLOS drone operation offers numerous advantages over regular flight on line of sight and is more cost-effective.
Unmanned system technology / Geospatial World
With PABLO AIR's experience and knowledge, Derek said it would be an honor to work with Malaysian regulators to help shape policy.
To advance the commercialization of drone technology in Malaysia, collaboration will be critical and PABLO AIR's demonstrations will be useful case studies to further develop our industry.
Since this is also a still untapped market, local and international drone companies will have many opportunities and advantages.

The new system will be an integral part of effective pallet loading procedures for all of the airline’s freighters.
Qatar Airways Cargo Chief Officer Cargo, Ulrich Ogiermann, said, “Automation and technology is seen as a highly strategic enabler for any business. Qatar Airways Cargo is proud to be the first Middle Eastern carrier to launch our Freighter Load Control Centre at our hub in Doha and to introduce the automated weight and balance system for freighter aircraft. In addition to the numerous benefits this brings to customers and the business, the reduction in fuel consumption will also further reduce carbon emissions as part of our commitment to environmental management.”
For Qatar Airways Cargo customers, the implementation of Freighter Load Control Centre contributes to a better utilisation of cargo volume and weight capacity on the aircraft. The cargo carrier is able to provide specialised support on oversized and special product shipments, thus providing its customers with more cargo space, greater efficiency and quality.
Automating the weight and balance system will simplify the conventional manual process by reducing the time required to set-up the load-sheet prior to flight departure. The system reduces time for load planning and weight check processes, allowing the cargo carrier to manage operational and flight turnarounds as well as maintaining its excellent existing levels of on-time performance. Supported by accurate data from the system, the cargo carrier is now able to optimise payload and minimise the lateral imbalance of each aircraft, resulting in a significant reduction of fuel consumption.
In April this year, Qatar Airways Cargo launched its first mobile app QR Cargo to provide ease and convenience to its global customers, enabling instant access to important information at their fingertips.
The mobile app is linked to Qatar Airways Cargo in-house Cargo Reservations, Operations, Accounting and Management Information System (CROAMIS), which provides real-time data and updates for each logistic milestone achieved, direct to its customers.
The world’s third largest cargo carrier recently took delivery of its 10th Boeing 777F, taking the total count of freighters in operation to 20 and introduced weekly freighter services to New York and Halifax from Luxembourg, its new European hub, adding to its rapidly growing network of 54 dedicated cargo routes. | aerospace |

THAAD was developed after the experience of Iraq’s Scud missile attacks during the Gulf War in 1991. The missile carries no warhead, but relies on the kinetic energy of impact to destroy the incoming missile. A kinetic energy hit minimizes the risk of exploding conventional warhead ballistic missiles, and nuclear tipped ballistic missiles will not detonate upon a kinetic energy hit.
Originally a US Army program, THAAD has come under the umbrella of the Missile Defense Agency. The Navy has a similar program, the sea-based Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, which now has a land component as well (“Aegis ashore”). THAAD was originally scheduled for deployment in 2012, but initial deployment took place in May 2008. THAAD has been deployed in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, and South Korea.
Sometimes called Kinetic Kill technology, the THAAD missile destroys missiles by colliding with them, using hit-to-kill technology, like the MIM-104 Patriot PAC-3 (although the PAC-3 also contains a small explosive warhead). This is unlike the Patriot PAC-2 which carried only an explosive warhead detonated using a proximity fuse. Although the actual figures are classified, THAAD missiles have an estimated range of 125 miles (200 km), and can reach an altitude of 93 miles (150 km). A THAAD battery consists of at least six launcher vehicles, each equipped with eight missiles, with two mobile tactical operations centers (TOCs) and the AN/TPY-2 ground-based radar (GBR); the U.S. Army plans to field at least six THAAD batteries, at a purchase cost of $800 million per battery. | aerospace |

Chief of military intelligence, Abdulrahman Kuliya was one of the victims of the aircraft crash that occurred in Kaduna on Friday.
An indigene of Kano, Kuliya was one of the senior military officers on the Beechcraft 350, a military aircraft belonging to the Nigeria Air Force (NAF), that crashed on Friday evening.
The army’s chief of military intelligence died alongside Ibrahim Attahiru, chief of army staff, and nine other officers in the incident which took place near the Kaduna international airport.
Attahiru was said to be on his way to Kaduna to attend a passing-out parade for army recruits scheduled for Saturday.
Kuliya was appointed acting chief of military intelligence in March.
Before then, he was head of army headquarters, department of policy and plans.
He had also served as coordinator of the joint intelligence centre (JIC) of the theater command for operation Lafiya Dole, a military operation focused on tackling Boko Haram insurgents.
Several Nigerians have expressed shocked over the demise of the 11 officers who died in the crash.
President Muhammadu Buhari, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, among others have mourned victims of the incident.
With the latest incident, the Nigerian military has lost 20 officers to aircraft crashes within a space of three months.
The minority caucus in the house of representatives has demanded a “system-wide investigation” into the military aircraft crashes in the country.
Meanwhile, the remains of the officers who died in the crash will be laid to rest at the national military cemetery in Abuja on Saturday.

Rocket Test Facility
Edwards Air Force Base has a rocket test facility along Leuhman Ridge east of the base that went into operation about 1952. The facility, also known as Edwards Rocket Base and Air Force Rocket Research Laboratory, contains rocket engine test stands and captive rocket test stands.
Many types of engines were tested there. Among them were engines for the Bomarc, Navaho, Mace, Atlas, Thor, Minuteman, Titan, Delta IV, Saturn, Space Shuttle, Bell X-1A aircraft and rocket sleds. Early rocket sleds were used to test captured V-2 rockets and later to test human reaction to high acceleration.
Several captive tests of the Minuteman I missile were performed at the Edwards Air Force Base Rocket Test Facility. The tests were to determine characteristics and problems that might be associated with launching the Minuteman from an underground silo. Initial tests were of a one-third scale model of the missile and the silo.
The first one-third scale test was performed on 17 February 1959. By June 1959, a full scale silo and test vehicle were ready for further tests. The first full scale tethered captive test was performed on 15 September 1959. The test missile had a 3 second burn time.Edwards Air Force Base Official Site Other Missile Test Sites | aerospace |

If all goes according to plan, NASA’s most sophisticated rover sent to Mars yet, named Perseverance, should touch down on the red planet in search of signs of ancient life on Thursday.
The historic mission has been a decade in the making, and the six-wheeled vehicle has traveled 293 million miles over the past seven months. Yet the success of the journey through space hinges on the last few minutes when Perseverance enters and descends through the Martian atmosphere before landing on the planet’s surface, which is often referred to as “seven minutes of terror” while ground controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. anxiously wait for a radio signal confirming a successful landing.
Perseverance should land around 3:55 p.m. ET, although viewing and live-streaming options will launch a couple of hours ahead of time. Here’s how to tune into the historic event.

Major Peake stepped outside the International Space Station’s Quest airlock, along with NASA astronaut Tim Kopra.
They scheduled to spend six-and-a-half hours on the exterior of the outpost.
The astronauts completed the primary goal of the spacewalk: replacing a faulty component on the station’s exterior.
Tim Kopra exited the Quest airlock first, followed by his British colleague a few minutes later. Kopra then proceeded to the worksite with a toolbox, where he anchored a foot restraint as an additional safety measure. The US astronaut then gave a “Go” signal for Major Peake to follow the Nasa astronaut, carrying the replacement electrical box.
They were told by Mission Control to ‘hang out’ for 10 mins until the Sun went down. The only way to protect them from the high voltage from the solar panels was to wait until it was dark – Tim Peake quoted “Most memorable 10 minutes of my life”.
NASA ended the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) after Tim Kopra reported a “small amount” of water in his helmet, but the flight director took the precaution of ending the event early.
The astronauts were outside the space station for four hours 43 minutes. | aerospace |

As part of Honeywell’s commitment to “The Power of Connected”, a consortium of British technology companies led by the Honeywell Aerospace office in the UK has been working on a low-cost space mission to demonstrate a new technology standard to improve critical two-way communication to ships at sea in-line with the United Nations’ Safety of Life at Sea Conventions. The goal is to develop a new messaging service aimed at providing vessels with up-to-date traffic services, such delivering the latest route-specific weather information, severe weather warning and ice maps to ships in polar regions.
This new two-way, point-to-point service – meaning satellite to ship and ship to satellite – will be aimed at supporting commercial fleet monitoring services such as real-time delivery of meteorological data as well as ship engine, emissions, fuel-level and other data to ship owners and operators. It will also enable security alerts around piracy to be sent to crew members.
To do this, the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) e-NAV committee is developing a new communications standard called VDES, which stands for VHF Data Exchange System, a bi-directional ship communications concept, which consists of both a dedicated terrestrial and a satellite component.
Manifesting the VESTA Mission
Honeywell has been responsible for manifesting the VESTA mission. This has entailed the mission engineering, ground segment commissioning and procuring launch service for launch of a 3U CubeSat. Engineers with Honeywell have also provided overall project management, end-to-end system testing, validation of launch requirements and ensuring the adherence to regulatory requirements.
Surrey Satellite Technology, LTD (SSTL) developed the 3U CubeSat with grant funding from the UK Space Agency (UKSA) and matching funds from Honeywell and the participating technology partners, which include exactEarth Europe, Pole Star, TeamSurv, Satellite Applications Catapult, and the General Lighthouse Authority (GLA).
The 3U CubeSat is 3-axis stabilized using active magnetic alignment, a reaction wheel, and a fine sun sensor. It has deployable solar panels, a VHF antenna system, high-capacity Lithium ion batteries, on-board multi-channel GPS for orbital positioning and timing, and has S-band Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) transponders.
Reaching Sun-Synchronous Orbit
To reach sun-synchronous low Earth Orbit, Honeywell selected Spaceflight’s rideshare service. The VESTA 3U CubeSat will be launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in late 2018.
According to Imtiaz Bahadur, project engineer with Honeywell Aerospace, the consortium selected Spaceflight’s service because they were looking for a low-cost launch provider with the experience, integrity and discipline to deliver a timely launch and who also could handle all of logistics around the launch campaign.
“We needed a service provider who could assist us with the integration as well as the regulatory clearances,” said Imtiaz. “Many other rideshare providers either don’t do this work or they charge extra money for this support.”
Imtiaz explained when the team with Honeywell Aerospace analyzed the various launch options around the world, they factored in the physical cost of taking the CubeSat into orbit, but also everything else that needed to go around it.
“We quickly concluded that a U.S. service provider would ultimately be the lowest cost provider for us. That’s how we ended up with Spaceflight. They were the best equipped to help us with the physical launch itself as well as all the paperwork and verification that is necessary. The total package offered by Spaceflight was a better value than anybody else out there.”
Extending Honeywell’s Commitment
Since 1958, Honeywell has been involved in some of the most significant space missions and projects. For instance, the company was a part of the mission to put man on the moon, in Vanguard American’s first successful earth satellite and many other projects. Today more than 80 percent of all satellites in orbit use Honeywell parts. And perhaps even more impressively, on every mission that Honeywell components have been used, they’ve had a success rate of 100 percent. There has been no failure within those missions due to its components. To achieve this success, Honeywell is committed to rigorous quality and process control and their engineers and managers pride themselves on developing first-rate components and products.
Honeywell hopes that VESTA is a stepping stone to the future of CubeSat programs to expand the constellation and add more satellites to the network so more data can be collected and shared. | aerospace |

- The ICE is a modular, electromagnetic interference-protected shelter hosting battle management workstations which enable warfighters to perform air and missile defense planning and defensive operations.
- Upcoming major end item deliveries will include the Engagement Operation Centers and Integrated Fire Control Network relays.
Rebecca Torzone, vice president and general manager, combat systems and mission readiness, Northrop Grumman: "Northrop Grumman is working at an accelerated delivery schedule because the U.S. Army and its allies understand the power of IBCS and how it revolutionizes the warfighter's approach to the battlespace. Providing IBCS equipment for testing and fielding brings more accurate decision making, improved situational awareness and a shield of security to the warfighter."
Details on IBCS:
IBCS is the cornerstone of the Army's air and missile defense modernization strategy, allowing forces to maintain overmatch while reducing mission risk. It has the ability to rapidly network any sensor, including fielded and developmental radars, to any shooter and deliver decision-quality fire control data across joint networks as shown in multiple successful tests and demonstrations.
In 2023, IBCS was approved for full rate production and achieved initial operational capability, enabling the Army to set a fielding schedule for operational air defense units.
IBCS is a revolutionary command and control system unifying current and future assets in the battlespace, regardless of source, service or domain. Through its modular, open and scalable architecture, IBCS gives warfighters capabilities not previously available by fusing sensor data for a single actionable picture of the full battlespace, enabling rapid, informed decisions to optimize shooters. This capability gives warfighters more time to make decisions on how best to defeat threats.
IBCS is the centerpiece of the U.S. Army's modernization strategy for air and missile defense and is currently being fielded in Poland. IBCS is a foundational element for the multi-domain, multi-national future.

According to the report, two unmanned aerial vehicles were flying towards the Kremlin. Moscow called the attack a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president's life.
"As a result of timely actions taken by the military and special services with the use of electronic warfare systems, the devices were disabled," the report reads. Putin himself, as stated by the Kremlin’s press service , was not hurt. His work schedule did not change.
Press Secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov said that Putin was not in the Kremlin during the attack. "The Kremlin considers these actions as a planned terrorist act and an attempt on the president's life on the eve of Victory Day, the May 9 Parade. As a result of the terrorist attack, the president was not hurt, his work schedule has not changed, it continues as usual," Peskov said.
"The Russian side reserves the right to take retaliatory measures where and when it sees fit," RIA Novosti quoted the Kremlin press service as saying.
Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that the use of drones has been banned in Moscow since May 3. The exception will be drones used by the authorities.
Earlier, Russian Telegram channels wrote that on the night of May 3, two explosions were heard near the Kremlin. Residents from the nearby buildings said they saw sparks in the sky and people with flashlights near the Kremlin wall.
After the Kremlin's official statement, videos of a drone strike on the dome of the Senate Palace appeared on social networks. According to the telegram channel Podyom, the first drone exploded over the Senate Palace at 2:27 a.m., the second was shot down at 2:43 a.m. | aerospace |

Needless to say, NASA is watching carefully. The latest images from the Hubble Space Telescope show jets spewing from the comet’s core.
The image, captured on March 11th, shows comet Siding Spring at a distance of 353 million miles from Earth. Hubble can’t see the icy nucleus because it is hidden inside the comet’s glowing dusty atmosphere. Nevertheless, image processing did reveal what appears to be two jets of dust coming off the nucleus in opposite directions. This observation allows astronomers to calculate the direction of the nucleus’s pole, and axis of rotation.
“This is critical information that we need to determine whether, and to what degree, dust grains in the [atmosphere] of the comet will impact Mars and spacecraft orbiting Mars,” says Jian-Yang Li of the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona.
Indeed, meteoroids from the comet could hit NASA’s Mars orbiters and damage them even as the orbiters try to study the comet. The level of risk won’t be known for months, but NASA is already evaluating possible precautionary measures. Data from Hubble and other observatories in the months ahead will clarify the dangers.

This unmanned mission will send an Orion spacecraft on a trip around the moon. The journey will test these all-new space delivery systems in anticipation of carrying a manned crew. But “unmanned” doesn’t mean “unoccupied.” The Orion capsule will carry humanoid test dummies to simulate flight conditions and test for radiation. Extra “passengers” include astronaut minifigures from LEGO, a partner with NASA for promoting the Artemis program. Initial reports noted two minifigs for the mission. Apparently the number’s actually double.
Brick Fanatics reports that there will be four LEGO minifigures going up with the Orion spacecraft on Artemis 1. We already know two of them: animated characters who star in LEGO Education’s “Build to Launch” STEAM exploration series. Their names, if you recall, are Kate and Kyle. Now apparently, they will be joined by two astronaut minifigs from the main LEGO City theme. The names of the new additions: Julia and Sebastian. The quartet gets to follow in the space-flight footsteps of three aluminum-built minifigures aboard the Juno space probe. They reached their destination, the planet Jupiter, back in 2016.
LEGO looks to be harnessing their NASA partnership to synergize their upcoming space-flight LEGO City sets. We already covered the rumored Rocket Launch Pad (60351?) supposed to launch (product-wise) on March 2022. We have to wonder if Artemis 1 “astronauts” Sebastian and Julia are part of that set’s minifigure crew. | aerospace |

The pilot ejected and was safely recovered by a rescue helicopter. This is the statement from U.S. Seventh Fleet Command.
USS Carl Vinson — A pilot safely ejected and was quickly recovered by a helicopter assigned to HSC-4 aboard USS Carl Vinson while conducting routine flight operations during a transit in the Celebes Sea. The incident occurred as the F/A-18E assigned to Carrier Air Wing 2 was on final approach to USS Carl Vinson. The incident is currently under investigation. The pilot is being assessed by the medical team on board USS Carl Vinson and there are no apparent injuries at this time.
The USS Carl Vinson is en route to the western Pacific region near the Korean Peninsula along with other ships that make up its battlegroup.

It was introduced in 1982 as a successor to the Boeing 727 trijet. The 757 is a popular aircraft for short- and medium-haul flights, and is currently operated by over 60 airlines around the world.
The Boeing 757 is a modern classic. It was one of the first airliners to be designed specifically for the short- and medium-haul market, and it quickly became a popular choice for airlines around the world. The 757 is known for its efficiency, reliability, and comfort, and it has helped to revolutionize air travel.
The Boeing 757 Development
The Boeing 757 was developed in the late 1970s as a successor to the popular Boeing 727. The 727 was a trijet airliner that was well-suited for short-haul flights, but it was not as fuel-efficient as newer twinjet aircraft. Boeing saw an opportunity to develop a new twinjet airliner that would offer the efficiency of the 727 with the range and performance of a larger aircraft.
The 757 was designed to be a versatile aircraft that could be used on a variety of routes, from short-haul flights to transatlantic flights. It was also designed to be able to operate in hot and high conditions, which made it attractive to airlines that served airports in these environments.
The 757 was a success for Boeing, and it was produced from 1982 to 2005. Over 1,000 757s were built, and it remains in service with a number of airlines around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the maximum range of the Boeing 757?
The maximum range of the Boeing 757 depends on the variant, but the most common variant, the 757-200, has a maximum range of 3,900 nautical miles (7,220 kilometers). This means that the aircraft can fly nonstop from New York to London, or from Los Angeles to Honolulu. The maximum range of the 757-300 is slightly less, at 3,400 nautical miles (6,295 kilometers).
- How many passengers can the Boeing 757 carry?
The Boeing 757 is a twin-engine, narrow-body airliner that was produced by Boeing Commercial Airplanes from 1982 to 2004. It was designed to replace the Boeing 727 on short- and medium-haul routes, and can carry between 200 and 295 passengers, depending on the variant.
- What are the different versions of the Boeing 757?
The Boeing 757 was produced in three main variants: the 757-200, the 757-300, and the 757-200M. The 757-200 is the most common variant, and it was produced in both passenger and cargo configurations. The 757-300 is a stretched version of the 757-200, and it can carry more passengers and cargo. The 757-200M is a combi aircraft, which means that it can carry both passengers and cargo.
In addition to these three main variants, there were also a number of special-purpose variants of the Boeing 757, such as the C-32A, which is used by the United States Air Force.
- What is the future of the Boeing 757?
The 757 was a great aircraft in its day, but it is now being replaced by newer, more efficient models. The A321neo and 737 Max 10 are both capable of flying longer distances than the 757, and they are more fuel-efficient. As a result, airlines are starting to retire their 757s in favor of these newer aircraft.
The 757 will likely continue to be operated by some airlines for a few more years, but its days are numbered. It is a great aircraft, but it is simply not as efficient as the newer models. As a result, its future is limited.
In one word, I would say that the future of the Boeing 757 is twilight.
The Boeing 757 is a modern classic that has helped to shape the world of air travel. It is an efficient, reliable, and comfortable aircraft that is popular with airlines and passengers alike. The 757 is expected to continue to be in service for many years to come, and it will likely continue to be a popular choice for short- and medium-haul flights. | aerospace |

Valued at $29.9 million, this international JCREW FMS order authorised by NAVSEA includes JCREW Increment One Block One systems, as well as auxiliary kits, spares, and support equipment. Northrop Grumman Australia will also expand its in-country support capabilities to meet the ADF’s operational needs.
“This JCREW FMS order further validates the field-proven effectiveness of the JCREW systems for both US and coalition military operators to counter device-controlled threats, such as improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and unmanned aerial vehicles,” Roshan Roeder, vice president, communications, airborne sensors and networks division, Northrop Grumman, said. “We continue to work closely with our US Navy partners to deliver JCREW systems that will help US and allied warfighters maintain the tactical advantage needed to succeed across today’s technology driven battlespace.”
“Northrop Grumman Australia is ready to support our US counterparts with the introduction of JCREW into operational service,” Chris Deeble, chief executive, Northrop Grumman Australia, said. “These JCREW systems will provide Australia with additional operational capability and expand Northrop Grumman’s support to the ADF.”
The software-programmable JCREW Increment One Block One system uses an open architecture integrated design to maximise commonality across variants. Its software-defined nature enables new threat defeat capabilities to be rapidly deployed; allows third-party application providers to easily integrate with JCREW systems; and reduces overall lifecycle costs.
Northrop Grumman says it works closely with the US Navy to add new counter-communications capabilities to address emerging and future threats.
Work on this Australian FMS order will take place in San Diego and is expected to be completed in 2022. | aerospace |

Tsiolkovsky-Kaluga,1911. From a letter.)
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was a true visionary and pioneer of astronautics. He theorized many aspects of human space travel and rocket propulsion decades before others, and played an important role in the development of the Soviet and Russian space programs.
He was born on September 17,1857, in the village of Ijevskoe, Ryasan Province, Russia, the son a a Polish forester who had emigrated to Russia. He was not from a rich family, but a very large one; Konstantin Tsiolkovsky had 17 brothers and sisters. At the age of 10 he lost his hearing as the result of scarlet fever. After that he couldn’t attend school, and he never recieved any formal education. The knowledge and education he attained were acheived by himself. His books were his teachers, and he read every book in his father’s library. Tsiolkovsky later remembered that his hearing loss influenced greatly his future life: during all his life he tried to prove to himself and to others that he was better and more clever than others, even with his disability.
In 1873-1876 Konstantin Tsiolkovsky lived in Moscow. During this time he visited the main Moscow libraries, among them the well known Pashkov House Library. It was in this fashion that he received his self-education. While in Moscow, Tsiolkovsky was tutored by the eccentric and brilliant Russian philosopher Nikolai Fedorovitch Fedorov, who was working in a Moscow library at the time. Fedorov was a leading proponent of Russian Cosmism, and gave Tsiolkovsky a place to work in the library. In many ways, he took the place of the university lecturers that Tsiolkovsky never had access to. At the age of17, while living in Moscow, he first dreamed about the possibility of space flight. He was, in part, inspired by the novels of Jules Verne. Since that time he started to think about the problems of space vehicle design. His great purpose was not simply to go into outer space, but to live in space, for humainity to become a space civilization.
In 1876-1879, after his coming back to his father’s home, he lived in Vyatka and Ryasan. After passing his exams, he recieved his Teacher’s Certificate, and went to work as a math teacher in Borovsk, Kaluga Province.
In 1880-1892 Tsiolkovsky lived in Borovsk and worked as a teacher. At that time he began his scientific research in air baloon building, life in free space, aerodynamics and philosophy. It was also at that time that he married. His wife, Barbara E. Sokolova, was the daughter of the local preacher. Together, they had 3 daughters and 4 sons.
In 1892-1935 he lived and worked in Kaluga. His moving to Kaluga was the result of a teaching promotion. He lived in the house that is now a part of the museum complex with his family from the year 1904 until his death in 1935. It was here in Kaluga that he became a well known scientist, and where he wrote and published his theories of space flight and inter-planetary travels. In Kaluga he wrote his Cosmic Philosophy, and he dreamed about the far distant future of humanity, including the eventual conquest of space and our leaving the cradle of the planet Earth for the stars. He was made a member of the Soviet Academy of Science in 1919.
He received a government pension in 1920, and continued to work and write about space. Upon the publication of the works of German rocket pioneer Herman Oberth in 1923, his works were revised and published more widely, and he finally earned some international recognition for his ideas. He wrote over 500 scientific papers, and, even though he never created any rockets himself, he influenced many young Russian engineers and designers. Tsiolkovsky lived to see a younger generation of Russian engineers and scientists begin to make his visionary concepts reality. Among these was Sergey Korolev, who would become the “Chief Designer” of the Soviet space program, who launched humanity into space with Sputnik, Laika, and the launch of the first cosmonaut,Yuri Gagarin.
Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky, the father of cosmonautics, died in Kaluga at the age of 78 on September 19,1935. He received an honored State funeral from the Soviet government. He was buried in the old Kaluga Cemetery, not far from the Museum that honors his life and work.

The Work of Tsiolkovsky
“Men are weak now, and yet they transform the Earth’s surface. In millions of years their might will increase to the extent that they will change the surface of the Earth, its oceans, the atmosphere, and themselves. They will control the climate and the Solar System just as they control the Earth. They will travel beyond the limits of our planetary system; they will reach other Suns, and use their fresh energy instead of the energy of their dying luminary.”-Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Tsiolkovsky is considered to be the father of cosmonautics and human space flight, and was a truly great thinker. His visionary ideas about the future of humanity in space were magnificent and far ahead of his time. He dreamed about space flight since he was a very young boy. Tsiolkovsky was certain that the future of human life will be in outer space, so he deceded that we must study the cosmos to pave the way for future generations.
Later, he proved mathematically the possibility of space flight, and wrote and published over 500 works about space travel and related subjects. These included the design and construction of space rockets, steerable rocket engines, multi-stage boosters, space stations, life in space, and more. His notebooks are filled with sketches of liquid-feuled rockets, detailed combustion chamber designs with steering vanes in the exhaust plume for directional control, double walled pressurized cabins to protect from meteorites, gyroscopes for attitude control, reclining seats to protect from high G loads at launch, air locks for exiting the spaceship into the vacume of space, and other amazingly accurate predictions of space travel. Many of these were done before the first airplane flight. He determined correctly that the escape velocity from the Earth into orbit was 8 km./second, and that this could be achieved by using a multi-stage rocket fueled by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. He predicted the use of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen and kerosene for propulsion, spinning space stations for artificial gravity, mining asteroids for materials, space suits, the problems of eating, drinking, and sleeeping in weightlessness, and even closed cycle biological systems to provide food and oxygen for space colonies.
Some of his works include:
– “Astronomical Drawings” (1879). The earliest manuscript of Tsiolkovsky. He drew the Solar System, the distances between the planets, their satellites, etc.
– “Free Space” (1883). Manuscript of Tsiolkovsky, first published in 1956. In this work, he described the life and ways of motion in free space, zero gravity, all done without the benefit on any mathematical calculations. It was in this paper that Tsiolkovsky drew the primitive design of a true Space Craft, which moved in outer space with the help of reactive forces.
This was the first drawing of Tsiolkovsky’s of a space vehicle, from “Free Space” (1883). It shows cosmonauts in weightlessness, gyroscopes for attitude control, and an airlock for exit into free space.
– “The Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation“. He created his calculations about space flight theory on May 10, 1897. The first publication of the results was in the article “Exploration of the Universe with Reaction Machines”, in the monthly magazine “The Science Review”,# 5 (St.Petersburg, 1903). This was the first publication in the world on this subject.
His Classic article “Research into Interplanetary Space by Means of Rocket Power” was published in 1903, the year of the first airplane flight by the Wright Brothers. It accurately described the state of weightlessness and the theoretical function of rockets in a vacume. He demonstrated why rockets would be needed for space exploration, and also advocated the use of liquid propellants that are used today.
This is his book published in 1914 that was the reprint of the 1903 article.
– “Plan of Space Exploration”. This was published in 1926. It consists of 16 Points, from the very begining of space conquest, until the far distant future, including interstellar travel.
He also wrote science fiction books, including “On The Moon (1895), Dreams of the Earth and Sky (1895), and Beyond the Earth (1920).
– “The Space Rocket Trains”. (1929). This publication of Tsiolkovsky was about his original idea of a multi-stage rocket, which consisted of several separate rockets, one on top of another. Tsiolkovsky proved that only such a type of rocket would be able to reach escape velocity and fly to Earth orbit.
– “Album of Space Travels”. (1932). The drawings from this manuscript of Tsiolkovsky show us his brilliant ideas about life in space, including zero gravity, air pressure locking, space habitats, rocket guidance, etc.
This drawing from 1932 shows cosmonauts in weightlessness looking through their window at the stars.

Tsiolkovsky’s Cosmic Philosophy
“All the Universe is full of the life of perfect creatures.” (Tsiolkovsky-The Scientific Ethics. Kaluga,1930, p.20).
Tsiolkovsky was very much as interested in the philosophy of space as he was with the engineering needed to make space flight possible. This was the very begining of Tsiolkovsky’s research into space flight problems and was the basis for it. His main work of this subject was “Ethics or the Natural Foundations of Morality” (1902-1918). In 1932 Tsiolkovsky wrote “The Cosmic Philosophy” – the summary of his philosophical ideas. His main idea was to achieve happiness not only for humanity, but also for all the living beings in the Cosmos, for all the Universe. He believed that human occupation of space was inevitable and would drive human evolution.
According to Tsiolkovsky’s Cosmic Philosophy, “happiness” is the absence of all kind of suffering in all the Universe, for all times, as well as the absence of all of the processes for destroying goodness. How shall we start this evolution to the “Universial Happiness”? The main task is to study the laws which rule the Universe. To do so, we must study the Universe, and therefore we must learn how to live in outer space. To begin that long period of our evolution, we will have to design large manned space rockets. So, the first space flight will be the beginning of the new era of space exploration, the beginning of Space Culture in human history. It will be the beginning of our history itself. He truly beleived that it was the destiny of humankind to occupy the solar system and then to expand into the depth of the cosmos, living off the energy of the stars to create a cosmic civilization that would master nature, abolish natural catastrophes, and acheive happiness for all.
1n 1926 Tsiolkovsky defined his “Plan of Space Exploration”, consisting of sixteen steps for human expansion into space:
1) Creation of rocket airplanes with wings.
2) Progressively increasing the speed and altitude of these airplanes.
3) Production of real rockets-without wings.
4) Ability to land on the surface of the sea.
5) Reaching excape velocity (about 8 Km/second), and the first flight into Earth orbit.
6) Lengthening rocket flight times in space.
7) Experimental use of plants to make an artificial atmosphere in spacships.
8) Using pressurized space suits for activity outside of spaceships.
10) Constructing large orbital habitats around the Earth.
11) Using solar radiation to grow food, to heat space quarters, and for transport throughout the Solar System.
12) Colonization of the asteroid belt.
13) Colonization of the entire Solar System and beyond.
14) Acheivement of individual and social perfection.
15) Overcrowding of the Solar System and the colonization of the Milky Way (the Galaxy).
16) The Sun begins to die and the people remaining in the Solar System’s population go to other suns.

A replacement aircraft, designated ANT-20bis, had begun production the following year and first flew in 1938.
It was largely identical in design but with six more-powerful Mikulin AM-34FRNV engines.
In December 1940, the aircraft was re-engined with two slightly more powerful Mikulin AM-35 engines in the inner positions (numbers three and four).
This aircraft, on 14 December 1942, crashed after the pilot allowed a passenger to take his seat momentarily and the passenger apparently disengaged the automatic pilot, sending the airplane into a nosedive from an altitude of 1,600 ft, killing all 36 on board. | aerospace |
