While centrifugal force works once everything is assembled, the assembly itself is something everyone conveniently blips over as “a mere detail” but in fact it is impossible to see how it could be done.
Furthermore, all space elevator hyperbole conveniently also overlooks the fact that the Earth has an atmosphere, and that atmosphere has winds. These will induce all manner of harmonics in the tether, which will make things “interesting” for any vehicle ascending or descending the structure.
In short, the grand vision is lovely but the details are so far from being even vaguely adumbrated that, just like nuclear fusion, the space elevator will forever remain 20 years away from realization. | aerospace |

The squadron, the first to be operated in Woonsocket in 20 years, is being chartered by Rhode Island CAP Wing Headquarters in North Kingstown with the help of a grant from the Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training’s Real Jobs R.I. Program.
The grant will cover the cost of membership fees and uniforms for those helping to establish the new squadron in Woonsocket, according to Robert Gubala, a lieutenant colonel and vice commander of R.I. CAP Wing Headquarters.
The new composite squadron will be open to both youth from ages 12 to 21 and also adults looking to volunteer with the organization and take on its training opportunities in areas such as search and rescue and emergency services, or leadership and aerospace education.
“We are really excited about bringing the program to Woonsocket,” Gubala, a resident of Pawtucket who was once a CAP cadet himself, said while listing the opportunities the local squadron will represent for disadvantaged youth in the community.
“We are forging young adults and people who can contribute to society,” Gubala said while explaining the CAP’s many roles in emergency response, aviation training and leadership development.
Although not geared specifically to helping its participants find future careers in the military, as is the local Air Force Jr. ROTC Wing at the high school, the CAP is an auxiliary organization of the U.S. Air Force and does help train about 10 percent of the students admitted to the U.S. Air Force Academy, according to Gubala.
With wings operating in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, the CAP, founded on Dec.1, 1941, now provides 60,000 volunteers nationwide to provide emergency services and training with 550 single-engine aircraft and 1,000 vehicles nationwide.
The Woonsocket squadron will join four other CAP squadrons operating in the state: Pawtucket, West Warwick, Westerly and Warren.
Under its military ranked cadet program, young people can learn the skills they need to participate in emergency situation responses, search and rescue operations, and even cellphone technology victim location projects.
With its strong support for STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education, the CAP also helps those looking to find career opportunities in aerospace engineering or aeronautics technology.
Rhode Island CAP cadets can take a flight orientation class that includes a flight experience and the opportunity to apply for a flight scholarship that could provide them with a first step toward obtaining their private pilot’s license.
The flight scholarships can be used to join a national summertime CAP flight academy where participants can earn a solo flight certificate, Gubala said.
The program can also help adults interested in a career in aviation to get hands-on training in the skills they will use will obtaining a job in an aviation-related business or service, according to Gubala.
“We are hoping that we get a good turnout and also hope that we can make a difference in some of these kids’ lives,” he said. “We are bringing a good program to Woonsocket.”
William Stranahan, a colonel and wing commander with the CAP, said he too is looking forward to starting the new squadron in Woonsocket.
“It’s an awesome opportunity for us to expand in Northern Rhode Island,” Stranahan said.
The program will also benefit those who choose to participate no matter what future career path they will seek, he noted.
“It definitely builds a person’s leadership capabilities and also team skills and physical fitness,” he said.
“Our goal is really to make them a well-rounded leader whether they plan to pursue a career in the military or civilian life,” Stranahan said. “We want them to be excellent leaders no matter what they do.”
The R.I. CAP Wing also provides flight training opportunities with the two single-engine planes, a Cessna 182 and Cessna 172, that it operates in the state. CAP participants can get the chance to experience flight in one of the planes, participate in a flight mission, or even get behind the controls, he noted.
After getting a flight experience through the program, CAP members can also apply for the summertime national flight school or a fight scholarship to continue their progress toward a pilot’s license, he noted.
Other participants might be more interested in search and rescue or emergency response work that might help them find a career in those areas, according to Stranahan.
The fact that the CAP has a military rank system and military training is a benefit to those seeking a military career, and Stranahan said that a cadet achieving the rank of second lieutenant can see that transferred to an E-3 rank if they chose to enlist with a military branch of service.
The variety of opportunities that can stem from participation in the CAP, both in civilian life and the military, make it a good program for young people to join, according to Stranahan.
“It is an awesome program to be a part of,” he said.
The first meeting of the new squadron will start at 6:30 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club of Woonsocket, and regular meetings on Thursdays will follow.

One of the images shows the faint rings surrounding the planet, as well as the two small moons Amalthea and Adrastaea with galaxies in the background.
Scientists associated with the Webb mission were surprised by the quality of these first images of the gas giant.
We really didn’t expect them to be this good!said astronomer Imke de Pater, professor emeritus at the University of California at Berkeley, in a statement.
Both shots were taken using the NIRCam imager, which has three specialized infrared filters that help highlight certain details of the planet. Since infrared light is invisible to the eye, it was then
mapped in the visible spectrum. In general, longer wavelengths appear redder and shorter ones bluer.
NASA, ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency) launched the space telescope late last year. Its scientific mission began this summer.
The telescope was designed to observe the outer reaches of the cosmos even further than ever before. One of its main objectives will be to detect the light of the very first stars and galaxies, which appeared more than 13.5 billion years ago. | aerospace |

Police have stated he fell from his harness after failing to close his buckles properly. Mr. Lee (53) was president of an electronics factory so his passing probably made more news than usual. According to news reports (not very reliable in Taiwan) he had only completed about 30 flights and just gotten his pilots license. The initial reports are that he fell from the harness not long after take-off and fell about 20m onto open ground.

The (standard) galley and equipment of the “Spartan” had to comply with the environmental requirements according to RTCA DO-160D C2 category.
The stipulated conditions posed a challenge since the required operational temperature had to be in the of range -55°C to +70°C. Such a low minimum temperature is an unusual requirement for the testing of this type of equipment.
With the cooperation of the Dutch Aero and Space Laboratory (NLR), the following tests were performed according to the RTCA DO-160D test requirements:
- Altitude (35,000 ft with an air pressure of 240 mbar.)
- Temperature (Operational and Variation)
- External Contamination (Fluid susceptibility)
- Shock and Vibration Tests (see picture below), including determining the required frame with FEA calculations
- Salt Spray Tests
20.0 G Static Testing
Due to the extreme operational temperature range, the problem was approached differently. With the data from material sample testing at the required operational temperatures, we analyzed how the material and the adhesive interacted. Based on this behavior we could determine an over-test factor for testing at room temperature. As a result, the static tests were performed at 20.0 G at room temperature instead of 9.0 G.
We applied FEA calculations to design the special frame for the vibration test ensuring that this test could be performed without any problems.
Due to our preliminary analysis, the static test was also performed with no unpleasant surprises. Although in the past galley manufacturers have not generally subjected their products to environmental testing, the trend seems to be changing.
Here at IGB we see more and more that, along with product life-cycle testing, compliance with this type of requirement needs to be demonstrated. | aerospace |

Voyager 1 was the first who came out into interstellar space in 2012
American research probe Voyager 2 became the second spacecraft in history that went beyond the heliosphere, and ended up in interstellar space.
On December 10 reported the press service of the space Agency NASA.
Voyager 2 took off in 1977 to study the Solar system. According to a former employee of NASA’s ed stone, chose him for “the Big trip”: to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
After 1989 began the so-called “interstellar mission” Voyager.

The heliosphere is like a bubble, which is composed of solar wind plasma. Beyond its border, is known as heliopause, interstellar space begins. Formally, the edge of the Solar system begins only in the hypothetical Oort cloud away from the Sun approximately a light year. To get to the Oort cloud, the spacecraft would take about 300 years.
Voyager 1 went out of heliopause in 2012. He became the first human-made object that is left in interstellar space. It also launched in 1977, but the route of the first probe was shorter: he flew around Saturn and Jupiter. Then Voyager 1 went to the border of the heliosphere.
On Board both probes is the “gold plates”. They marked the coordinates of the Solar system and Earth. Also on the discs recorded with the audio and video signals that can help the alleged aliens learning about the culture of earthlings.
Recall, the Mars probe InSight sent a new selfie. These images will help the mission team select the optimal locations for installing scientific instruments. | aerospace |

An Extra Inch From Ryanair
Ryanair has revealed its new cabin seating that will be installed on the airlines new Boeing 737 Max 200 aircraft.
The new seats are slimmer than the current Ryanair seats and although the aircraft will take extra passengers, 197 compared to 189 on todays Ryanair fleet, each seat offers an extra inch of legroom. Ryanair currently offer approx 30 inches and the new aircraft are expected to offer 31 inches.
But what about the much useful seat back pocket to put that stuff? Well its still non-existant but why?
The seat back pocket is something we take for granted, you don't notice its there, you just pop you iPad, magazine, bottle of water and snack into the pocket for take off, landing and when you need the loo but when its not there you soon notice how much of a need we have for it.
Ryanair has said the reason they won't be adding this to their new fleet is faster turn around times. They say that by having them it will slow down their already tight turnaround times, it gives crew extra parts to clean and security check prior to the aircraft turning around.
Additional promises for the new aircraft include bigger overhead bins allowing everyone to keep hold of their cabin-baggage, the aircraft are also promised to be quieter and cleaner.

NASA has begun preparing the launch system for the “Artemis” moon mission next year.
On Tuesday, NASA announced the start of assembly of the rocket, which will be used to transport the first woman to the moon. The launch is scheduled for 2021.
The first booster engine has been completed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to prepare for the first unmanned flight of the “Artemis” program.

The flight will be a test of technology set to be separate from the manned Artemis missile.
“So the Artemis program is our moon exploration program,” said astronaut Serena Union Chancellor. “We will reach the south pole of the moon by 2024, descending the first woman and the next man.”
It is the first of 10 experimental engines to be assembled as part of the new Space Launch System, which NASA hopes could be used in future trips to Mars and other deep space missions.
In 2021, officials are expected to make an unmanned test flight around the moon before the second mission in 2023. All this in preparation for the final mission, “Artemis 3,” which will make the moon landing in 2024.
Since 1969, the United States has made six manned flights to the moon. The last of them happened in 1972.
In 2019, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said the agency would use the next flight to gauge its ability to travel sustainably and survive on the moon.
“We’re going to take the lead, we’re going to take a coalition of nations, let’s go to the moon, this time we’ll stay,” Bridenstine said. “This is a big difference between what we do today and what we did in 1969 to 1972.”

They were used to reduce the aerodynamic effect of wakes which appear at the wingtips and were successfully tested on a KC-135 in the 1970s. Although the KC-135 is a kind of 707 derivate, the DC-10 became the first commercial aircraft to be fitted with winglets.
The first flight took place on ... . 61 further flights out of Long Beach and Edwards Air Force Base - with and without the winglets - revealed that the winglets can save up to 3% of fuel. The greatest effect took place when both, upper and lower winglets, were used. The last flight took place in October of 1981 returning the DC-10 (without winglets) to Continental Airlines.
Douglas and the NASA were very satsified with the test results, but as the high recertification costs would not justify the costs for refitting, no further DC-10s with winglets appeared. However, the knowledge won in this program were later used on the Mc Donnell - Douglas MD-11. Further aircraft with winglets or smaller wingtip fences appeared in the 1980s and 1990s like the Boeing 747-400, the Boeing 737-700/800, the Canadair CRJ or the new Airbus models. | aerospace |

The efforts of airlines, the Government, the Ministry of Transport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, and other regulatory agencies in restoring and increasing the frequency of flights from the end of 2021 and the policy of opening tourism welcoming international passengers from March 15, 2022, with the Covid-19 epidemic prevention and control regulations being lifted is the driving force that shows that Vietnam’s aviation industry is accelerating on the world’s economic recovery.
Speaking at the press conference to introduce Vietnam International Aviation Expo 2022, Mr. Nguyen Huu Nam – Deputy Director of the Vietnam Confederation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) Ho Chi Minh City branch shared: “Continuing the momentum recovering in 2021, the global aviation industry enters the new year 2022 with optimism about development prospects, forecast to grow 47% when restrictive measures related to the Omicron variant of the SARS virus -CoV-2 is gradually relaxed or eliminated. However, analysts also said that the global aviation industry this year still needs to make strategic adjustments to adapt to the unpredictable developments of the epidemic”.
Strengthening policies to promote the development of the aviation industry is a top priority today when the global aviation industry contributes 4.1% of GDP, affecting other economic chains. As Mr. Nguyen Phuoc Thang – Head of Science – Technology and Environment Department of Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam shared in the press conference: “Focus on organizing conferences, seminars to introduce and demonstrate public products. new technology to act as a bridge between scientists, research, design, and manufacture, enterprises, and users to develop domestic aeronautical technology products, thereby attracting enterprises to manufacture cargo components. in Vietnam, contributing to improving the ability to ensure safety in aviation activities”.
That is the policy of the state government, as well as the purpose and mission of the Vietnam International Aviation Expo. When aviation develops, it leads to the simultaneous development of industries such as Logistics, Tourism, Restaurants – Hotels, Mechanics – Electronics, Education – Training, Construction,… Therefore, the Aviation industry does not need to be planned to become a spearhead economic sector, leading, to attracting attention to foreign investment. Sharing at the press conference, Ms. Luong Thi Xuan – Founder & CEO of Vietnam Aviation Expo JS and Head of the Exhibition Organizing Committee said: “Aeronautics is not only a leader in the economic sector but also a chained field. important in the chain linking industries. Therefore, the development of the industry will promote cooperation, business, and investment in other related fields. As a training and professional place for majors namely Pilot; Aviation Security; Air traffic controller, flight navigator; Electronics – telecommunications aviation; Airlift auxiliary equipment; Air transport operation; Exploiting aviation information; Flight attendant; Airport management and operation; Commercial air freight; Aircraft technician”.
With the guidelines and support of the state government, the Ministry of Transport, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam, the National Traffic Safety Committee, the Vietnam Aerospace Association, and other regulatory agencies, and Mr. Tran Quang Chau – Chairman of Vietnam Aviation Science and Technology Association in the press conference said that “The dare to think, dare to do spirit of Gia Khuong company has been recognized by the State authorities, enterprises Vietnam’s aviation industry and related industries support, help and cooperate with international friends. Thanks to that, the International Aviation Technology and Technology Exhibition in Vietnam in 2019 for the first time left a good impression on the public, laying the foundation for its continuation today and in the coming years for the Exhibitions. International aviation in Vietnam is getting bigger, more complete, and more efficient.
It will be the foundation for the Vietnam International Aviation Expo 2022, which will be organized by Vietnam Aviation Exhibition JSC and GK Wintron on September 15-17, 2022 at the National Convention Center, Hanoi.

The photo, from about 1940, shows veteran pilot Edward Orville De Larm (1888-1970s?) posing before a shiny new TACA Lockheed 14, that perhaps he had just delivered to the Honduras-based airline. De Larm was well known farther South. He had been a NYRBA pilot in 1929-30 (holding Argentine transport pilot license 288). In September 1930, he took off from Mar del Plata in an aircraft even more well known.
Fokker Tri-Motor NX4204 was painted a very visible red-orange with golden wings. Its initial owner was the polar explorer, Richard E. Byrd. However, Byrd instead flew a Ford on his Antarctic Expedition; the Fokker named “Friendship” was passed on to aspiring Trans-Atlantic fliers. Amelia Earhart, as a passenger in the airplane, became the first woman to fly the Atlantic. Shipped back to New York, the Fokker FVIIb 3/m was then sold to Argentina.
Chile was the destination for Eddie De Larm’s September 1930 charter flight in the “Avion Rojo”. Arriving at Concepción, the pilot along with his six passengers was arrested! A half-ton of “luggage” consisted of arms and ammunition for the Chileans’ intent on overthrowing their government. De Larm escaped from confinement and made his way overland, across the Andes, back to Argentina. The confiscated “red” Fokker flew briefly with the military-run LAN airline before being dismantled for the engines and other parts.
Eddie De Larm is said to have been the first American Indian (Arapahoe) licensed to fly (Oct. 1916) and to have engaged in commercial aviation. By 1967, he had accumulated over 22,000 hours in his long career. Among his four children was the notorious Jerry Delarm (note the spelling change), whose exploits will be later chronicled on LAAHS.com

The United Technologies YTD return is shown above.
The YTD Return on the United Technologies YTD return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the total return for a given investment year-to-date for the current calendar year
(up to the end of prior trading session). Arguably, choosing the current calendar year for a measurement
period is on the one hand completely arbitrary, but on the other hand a year-to-date look can be extremely
useful in the context of our country's tax system which taxes gains and income on a calendar year basis.
Thus, researching Year-To-Date Returns is good practice for investors — whether United Technologies YTD return or other benchmarks/peers
— and when doing so it is also important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's YTD return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon. Our website aims to empower investors

I understand that if I am not a US citizen I can still either register my airplane or yacht in the US by registration through a Delaware Company & Trust Structure. How am I protected?
A. We take the following steps to minimize your risk and maximize your security. At AMG we specialize in registering US aircraft with the FAA for foreign owners and take your interest to heart.
1. All aircraft and yachts, under our administration are registered to individual owner Trustee corporations. This is important because the Trust agreement, which the beneficial owner of the aircraft or yacht will have to sign, will include indemnities in the event that the Trustee is sued. Where an individual or a Trust company, which registers itself directly as the owner of the aircraft or yacht, is sued then they will claim against you under its indemnity. Where the Trustee is a separate trustee corporation for your use only, then you get the added protection of being able to rely on its limited liability for your protection.
2. By utilizing our professional and knowledgeable services you can be assured and feel confident that your aircraft or yacht will be properly owned by a US Corporation registered in Delaware and provide you with all proper documentation included in the trust agreement. As long as you follow the administrative rules and provide us with the due diligence we require, you will have the ability to fly the aircraft or sail the yacht legally outside of the US.
3. We assure that you have the trust and registration documents required to legally operate the aircraft or yacht internationally.
4. All State and Federal government documentation will be sent promptly.
Q. If I do not meet the above requirements what are my options to meet FAA or USCG requirements for citizenship?
A. The answer is to form a Statutory Trust.
Q. What is a Statutory Trust?
A. A Trust is a legal entity that is formed under an agreement between one person (the Settlor or Grantor); the terms of the trust transfers to another person (the Trustee), an asset; in this case an aircraft or yacht, to hold on certain terms. In the case of an Owner Trust, the aircraft or yacht is typically held for one beneficiary, which is the Settlor.
In the case of a foreign owner of the aircraft or yacht desiring US registration, a Trust is required for compliance with the with the FAA and USCG regulations because an owner can ultimately control the aircraft or yacht through their US Trustee (US citizen), who is the registered Trustee of the US registered aircraft or yacht.
- Owner Trust - If a foreign person or company settles the aircraft in trust with a US Trustee, it may be beneficially owned.
Q. Can I own my aircraft in the US if I am not a US citizen and fly with an “N” number?
A. Yes. A non-citizen corporation lawfully organized and doing business under the laws of the U.S. or one of the States as long as the aircraft is based and primarily used in the U.S. (60% of all flight hours must be from flights starting and ending within the U.S.) An address for all records or flight hours must me available for inspection. | aerospace |

When Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched four NASA astronauts to the International Space Station on Sunday, they stashed a stowaway aboard their Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience: a toy version of the character, which the crew used as their cheeky “zero G indicator” — a totem meant to show the travelers that the crew have left gravity’s grip.
With their trip to the International Space Station successful, the Resilience crew — NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, as well as JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, along with their little green friend — successfully docked with the ISS Monday night, and early this morning, they opened the hatch and joined the space station’s crew.
Footage posted on NASA’s Twitter feed shows the historic moment, with the little stuffed Baby Yoda floating in. The new residents will stay aboard for six months.
Let’s hope they keep him away from the controls — if the Disney+ hit taught the astronauts anything, they should know Baby Yoda is fond of pushing buttons, sometimes with dangerous results.
Not only is this the time SpaceX shuttled a full NASA crew to the ISS, the mission represents another historic first: Glover, Resilience‘s pilot and second-in-command, will be the first African-American to stay aboard the station.[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAA0hJp5MvU&w=640&h=360]

by DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian M. Crosby
Today Archer Aviation Inc. announced that it has entered into a joint letter of intent with lightweight composite technology leader Hexcel. The letter details a proposed relationship between the two companies that would see Hexcel supply Archer with carbon fiber and resin systems known as prepreg, necessary to the production of composite parts for Archer’s production aircraft.
As a leading supplier of carbon fiber, honeycomb, and other composite materials for major programs ranging from aerospace, aviation, space, defense and industrial, Hexcel is the perfect composites partner, providing systems that offer both strength and durability. Hexcel components also cut down on energy consumption and the weight of the aircraft, allowing for higher performance and an increased flight range.
“When selecting a partner, our primary focus was on safety and quality. We were impressed by Hexcel’s track record in delivering high-performance prepreg materials for the commercial aerospace industry and their proactive approach to developing cutting-edge materials,” said Brett Adcock, Archer’s co-founder and co-CEO. “Hexcel’s deep aerospace experience and familiarity with FAA certification requirements will prove invaluable as Archer moves into its next phase of innovation and ushers in the future of sustainable transportation,” added Adam Goldstein, Archer co-founder and co-CEO.
“This is a terrific opportunity for Hexcel to join with an innovative leader such as Archer to bring eVTOL to market,” said Nick Stanage, Hexcel’s Chairman, CEO and President. “By selecting our leading lightweight composites, Archer helps improve aerodynamics, safety and quality in their aircraft designs. We are excited to be part of helping them succeed in bringing this new technology to market.”

While this asteroid – named Dimorphos – posed no threat to Earth, the aim of the mission was to demonstrate that dangerous incoming rocks can be deflected by deliberately smashing into them.
“IMPACT SUCCESS!” Nasa tweeted after its spacecraft, known as Double Asteroid Redirection Test (Dart), collided with the 170-metre wide (560ft) asteroid about 00:20 UK time on Tuesday.
The US space agency’s staff cheered and clapped in a video shared online as the vending machine-sized spacecraft successfully smashed into Dimorphos, which is the size of a football stadium.
“And we have impact. A triumph for humanity in the name of planetary defence,” a member of Nasa’s team said in a video recorded in the control room as the collision took place.
In a live question-and-answer session after the crash, senior leaders from Nasa and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory said the mission was “straight down the middle” and nothing went wrong.
Dimorphos is part of a binary asteroid system and orbits Didymos, which takes around 11 hours and 55 minutes.
But astronomers at Nasa hope that Dart, while destroying itself in the process, has shortened this orbital period by about 10 minutes.
It will take several weeks before scientists can say whether the experiment has worked.
Nasa previously said: “Dart’s target asteroid is not a threat to Earth but is the perfect testing ground to see if this method of asteroid deflection – known as the kinetic impactor technique – would be a viable way to protect our planet if an asteroid on a collision course with Earth were discovered in the future.”
There are currently somewhere around 27,000 asteroids in near-Earth orbit.
Rocks that are 140 metres (460ft) and larger in size and come nearer than 4.7 million miles (7.5 million km) during orbit are classed as potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs).
The Dart mission was the first ever full-scale demonstration of asteroid deflection technology.
The spacecraft recently captured its first images of Didymos and Dimorphos using an onboard instrument, known as the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (Draco).
It was about 20 million miles (32 million km) away from the asteroid system when it took the photos in July.
It took 10 months for Dart to come close to Dimorphos after launching last November on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket.
The asteroids were around 6.8 million miles (11 million kilometres) from Earth when the collision happened.
Dart accelerated at about 13,700 miles per hour (22,000 kilometres per hour) before colliding with Dimorphos.
The collision was recorded by a briefcase-sized satellite known as the Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube), which was provided by the Italian Space Agency.
LICIACube, which weighs just 14 kg (31 lbs), hitched a ride with Dart into deep space before recently separating from the spacecraft in a final farewell.
In 2024, the European Space Agency (ESA) will launch its Hera spacecraft, which will go on a two-year journey to the asteroid system to gather information in the aftermath of the crash.
ESA said: “By the time Hera reaches Didymos, in 2026, Dimorphos will have achieved historic significance: the first object in the Solar System to have its orbit shifted by human effort in a measurable way.” | aerospace |

https://naturalnewsblogs.com/the-reason-solar-geoengineering-from-jet-aircraft-is-seen-world-wide/ | 2023-11-30T18:18:29 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100229.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20231130161920-20231130191920-00729.warc.gz | 0.935038 | 3,954 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__17573893 | en | The basic question as to what chemical compounds are forming the lingering aerosol trails coming from jet aircraft globally has led to an elaborately hidden international program for Solar Geoengineering happening right now. This world-wide Geoengineering program for Solar Radiation Management (S.R.M.) has a rich international history, is hiding in plain view and has methods that are much simpler, cheaper and more diabolical than many have suspected. Deployed with no debate or law passed by any national government.
Solar Geoengineering is happening now on a planetary scale by simply not limiting high amounts of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) in jet aircraft exhaust. Understand that SO2 is the leading Solar Geoengineering chemical most desired for front-line use by scientists and governments. Sulfates come from the oil jet fuel is made from. When combusted in modern jet engines it combines with oxygen to produce Sulfur Dioxide. These particles are perfect to form water droplets around, leading to ice crystals in the proper conditions at high altitude which then reflect sunlight back to space. All planned out decades ago to prevent global warming as stated by Geoengineering scientists.
Exhaust coming out of a car has at most 15 parts per million Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), where as modern jet exhaust has been tested at between 600 and 3000 parts per million Sulfur Dioxide. Modern aviation exhaust has been tested as having 60 to 300 times more sulfur oxides than car diesel or gasoline exhaust, yet there are no FAA standards on sulfur oxides. Meaning there could legally be any amount of Sulfur in jet fuel. The only aircraft emissions standards are on lead, nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide. Governments and corporations world-wide don’t take Sulfur out of the crude oil that makes up aviation fuel in the refining process. Saving 5 billion dollars a year. In all other surface transportation fuel the Sulfur is filtered down in accordance with law. This Solar Radiation Management program actually exists by governments agreeing to not pass a law limiting sulfates in aviation fuel.
This is no accident as the Sulfur could easily be removed from aircraft fuel for an average of 5 cents a gallon. Providing the only plausible explanation as to why this phenomenon is seen all over the planet regardless of countries or borders. Following the logic that a secret fleet of thousands of specially modified sprayer aircraft with complicit air crews flying transnational missions would be logistically impossible. Planes witnessed dispersing lingering aerosol trails world-wide have commercial numbers and decals easily followed by air traffic apps and a pair of binoculars. These are hundreds of thousands of scheduled flights daily around the world that couldn’t possibly be modified tanker aircraft.
Could there be a simpler answer?
In fact under the Sulfur Dioxide Geoengineering scenario governments and corporations save 5 billion dollars a year not reducing the Sulfur in aviation fuel and don’t have to modify a single plane.
This is not meant to dispute that there are military operations and weather manipulation Geoengineering programs taking place using small fleets of modified airplanes by lots of different governments and corporations for many different reasons. Employing a variety of methods and chemicals with regional effects.
Yet as far as an internationally agreed upon and deployed Geoengineering program for Solar Radiation Management (S.R.M.), using thousands of ordinary jet aircraft witnessed spraying huge plumes all over the world. This is the big one.
Being the third installment in this series, please refer to the previous articles on this subject. Detailing the fact that scientists from Harvard and Yale wrote a scientific paper advising a plan to deliver huge amounts of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) to the high atmosphere. Using a new fleet of 95 specially built high altitude jet tanker planes called (S.A.I.L.) Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Lofters by 2047. Under the name Stratospheric Aerosol Injection using SO2. Those articles explored the possibility this is currently happening with ordinary jet aircraft at today’s altitudes without being modified. That scientific paper to led to one simple question.
Is Sulfur Dioxide Geoengineering from jet aircraft happening now?
Sulfur Dioxide Geoengineering has a long history of international cooperation and secrecy. Scientists fully admit the fact that sulfur oxide pollution coming from jet aircraft is a big problem, being the main reason for “persistent contrails” and global dimming. As well as the fact it has a significant effect on the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth. Sulfur oxides also form acid rain droplets so corrosive jet exhaust manifolds must be constantly maintained due to the caustic nature of Sulfur Dioxide. The SO2 pollution coming from air travel is no accident as it can be taken out for less than five cents a gallon, saving countless maintenance man hours on aircraft as well as actual human lives. Admittedly thousands a year die from this chemical dispersal and it has all the effects on plant and animal life blamed on more exotic chemicals that can’t be proven to be coming from jet aircraft. Such as respiratory illnesses like C.O.P.D., swelling of body tissues and joints, paralysis, death and deforestation. Sulfur reduces ignition temperatures in fireworks. What happens when this chemical falls out on dry areas of the country prone to wild fires in the summer?
Please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2).
What is not disputed is that SO2 is a deadly Geoengineering chemical being sprayed on you right now, no argument about it! Yet it scientists refer to it as a form of soot or “accidental geoengineering“, even though Sulfur Dioxide Geoengineering has been the plan from it’s first inception. Ninety percent of all the scientific papers on Solar Geoengineering are about sulfate dispersals and almost all Solar Geoengineering plans revolve around it.
The whole idea of blocking sunlight to alter the climate came from studying volcanoes that release huge amounts of Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Bouncing sunlight back to space because of the sulfate particles ability to ice nucleate at high altitude creating reflective water crystals. Drastically altering the Earth’s weather systems and cooling the planet. This current Solar Radiation Management (S.R.M.) program is the equivalent of a volcano going off constantly in the stratosphere. Spewing SO2 with hundreds of thousands of flights around the clock. Delivering thousands of tons of Sulfur Dioxide to the high atmosphere daily.
The first person to propose this could be done artificially by injecting sulfates into the high atmosphere was Soviet climate scientist Mikhail Budyko, who theorized the plan in the early 1970s during the cold war. The concept was referred to as “Budyko’s Blanket“. Even more interesting is the academic cooperation between the United States and the Soviet Union in developing and implementing a plan for Solar Radiation Management using Sulfur Dioxide.
Budyko actually trained some of today’s top Geoengineering scientists such as Ken Caldeira. Who went to Leningrad to be instructed by Budyko in 1990 and then came back to the United States to work for Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Where he met Lowell Wood according to Wired magazine. Wood is another huge proponent of Solar Geoengineering using sulfates, as was his mentor Edward Teller. Edward Teller and Lowell Wood came up with plans for Solar Radiation Management (S.R.M.) using sulfates dispersed at high altitude in the early 90s. Looking very much like “Budyko’s Blanket” and nick-named the “Teller-Wood” design. In gallows humor reference to Edward Teller’s successful plans for the Hydrogen Bomb called the Teller-Ulam design.
The idea is simple. Disperse Sulfur Dioxide particles microns in size at high altitude which ice nucleate at low temperature to form ice crystals that are carried by convection to the stratosphere. Becoming very reflective and bouncing sun’s rays back to space, thereby cooling the planet. This is to mitigate global warming, it was theorized. A shot gun approach hoping at least half of the sulfur oxides get lofted for a long enough period of time to the high atmosphere. Reflective sulfate particles would also have the effect of blocking UVB ultra-violet light as a stand in for the ozone layer.
Sulfur oxides when ice nucleated to form reflective crystals absorb UVB Ultra-Violet light just like the ozone layer. While at the same time destroying the natural ozone layer. Why haven’t we heard much about the ozone layer since the eighties even though the holes are still there? It wasn’t because grandma quit using hairspray and fluorocarbons were taken out of air conditioners.
Measure before and after multiple flights form “persistent contrails” and watch as the UVB drops dramatically, as well as output from solar panels. Paul Crutzen, a climate scientist and a winner of the 1995 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work on ozone depletion, published a paper called “Albedo Enhancement by Stratospheric Sulfur Injections: A Contribution to Resolve a Policy Dilemma?”. Detailing the use of high altitude sulfur oxide aerosol injections to block UV radiation. Sun block for the Earth.
Top scientists from the United States and the Soviet Union who made nuclear weapons to kill one another are advising a scheme to Geoengineer the planet using Sulfur Dioxide. To this day the U.S., Russia and China do not filter Sulfur content from the oil that makes up aviation fuel. Even though Sulfur standards on all other surface transportation fuels are very strict. This Solar Radiation Management program exists by internationally agreeing not to agree on a law reducing Sulfur in jet fuel.
Modern high by-pass turbofan engines shouldn’t produce “persistent contrails” but they do. Burning a cleaner fuel these engines would produce almost no contrail because they are much more efficient. Modern jet engines aerosolize the Sulfur content more completely creating much longer exhaust plumes than previous aircraft. Sulfur in the fuel gets combusted and combines with oxygen to form sulfur oxides that are microns in size. Perfect for ice to form reflective surfaces on the dispersed sulfate particles. Just as called for by Geoengineering scientists since the idea first came into being in the early 1970s. Coincidence?
The ultra-low sulfur fuel thereby limits or eliminates contrail formation because there is limited sulfur byproduct in the exhaust to support nucleation and water droplet formation. Patent US20100122519A1
Almost like a drug addict that can’t stop or face horrible consequences that they created. A Solar Geoengineering experiment designed to cool the planet that is actually destroying the Earth’s ability to resist the sun’s more deadly rays. Leading to an out of control escalation in the amount of sulfates needed to block UVB as the ozone layer is depleted. Could this be one of the reasons for such international secrecy and cooperation between the super powers over the last 40 years?
Leading to the call for a new fleet of 95 specifically built tanker aircraft called (S.A.I.L.) Stratospheric Aerosol Injection Lofters that can lift much larger Sulfur Dioxide payloads higher into the stratosphere. This plan is now being openly promoted by the media as a good thing to normalize Geoengineering activities in our skies.
Climate change has been declared a national security issue with non-disclosure clauses for both commercial and military pilots. Possibly because of the poisonous nature of Sulfur Dioxide Geoengineering and lawsuits that would ensue. Airline cabin sickness could be an acute form of what people suffer on the ground from a “heavy spray day”. Jet exhaust is already 600-3000 parts per million Sulfur Dioxide, way above what it would take to induce serious health issues if flying through a jet stream. Imagine how much falls out on the ground. Even 2ppm is hazardous and creates C.O.P.D. like symptoms and 500ppm can kill you.
Exposure to concentrations above the TLV of 2 ppm may irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and sinuses, resulting in choking, coughing, and sometimes broncho-constriction.
Concentrations of 50-100 ppm are considered dangerous.
Exposures of 400-500 ppm are immediately life-threatening. Exposure to high concentrations may result in pulmonary edema and paralysis.
SO2 Geoengineering is the only proven mechanism that could allow a Global Solar Geoengineering program for S.R.M. to exist using commercial jet aircraft with the known leading Geoengineering chemical. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). Explaining why these lines in the sky from jets are seen world-wide.
Dirty aviation fuel may even explain the presence of trace amounts of barium or strontium in tested jet exhaust. These chemicals are tell-tale signs in environmental tests of oil drilling and fracking especially from high sulfate tar sands, which much of the aviation and maritime shipping “bunker fuel” is made from. Along with trace amounts of the metals Aluminum, Barium, Cr, Fe, Mo, Na, Ca, V, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Mg, Mn, Si,Ti and Zr. Some of these metals may not be completely taken out in the refining process just like the sulfates and could also come from engine erosion or other possible additives studies suggest.
Geoengineering scientists want to put more Sulfur Dioxide into the stratosphere using 95 new high altitude aircraft by 2047. With a plan that looks exactly like what we are seeing on the ground today from jet aircraft, using the exact same chemical. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). These long lines in the sky coming from jet aircraft could be a beta test to see if the program will work on a larger scale. Using today’s commercial and military aircraft.
If there was lowered sulfur was in aviation fuel, like every other fuel, there would be little to no “persistent contrails” coming from jet aircraft. This could explain why two planes going in same direction right next to each other produce different sized contrails depending on conditions at that altitude. One descends slightly and the other ascends slightly, throttling the engines at different rates and using more or less sulfate laden fuel. Depending on the size of the engine, weight and model of aircraft the amount of sulfur oxides released varies greatly. Jets passing each other at the same altitude would use different amounts of fuel depending on head or tail winds producing differing lengths of aerosol trail or none at all. Some private jet planes may be using low sulfate fuel which produces little to no trail. Already existing computerized air traffic control could easily route or re-route jet aircraft through ice nucleating altitudes and contrail forming conditions depending on what is needed. Leaving huge x patterns of jet plumes on one day and not the next. All accomplished with today’s technology and structures but hiding in plain view.
Sulfates in the aviation fuel also provides the key mechanism for world-wide Solar Radiation Management (S.R.M.), long sought after by Geoengineering researchers.
Is it all much simpler than we have been led to believe?
A Solar Geoengineering program using a shot gun approach with existing aircraft to loft tons of Sulfur Dioxide to the high atmosphere. Knowing roughly half the particles will make it into the stratosphere by convection and half will fall out almost immediately to the ground. Even the the sulfur oxides that make it to the high atmosphere will eventually fall out.
The S.C.o.P.E.x. Geoengineering experiment by Harvard University headed up by David Keith is taking place the summer of 2019 over Arizona. This experiment will be using Sulfur Dioxide to block the sun dispersed by high altitude balloons. Read from the S.C.o.P.E.x. website.
Additionally, if we test sulfate in this experiment, the amount we would use would be less than the amount released during a one minute of flight of a typical commercial aircraft. Aircraft release sulfates due to residual sulfur content of aviation fuel.
Climate scientists and “chem-trail” de-bunkers explanation of the sight of planes apparently turning on and off contrails going through the sky is that accidentally toxic exhaust particles are interacting with differing pockets of humidity. Producing the illusion of a segmented contrail. Some Geoengineering theorists insist it is a fleet of thousands of retrofitted aircraft commanded by malevolent pilots consciously switching the spray on and off.
Neither option gives any comfort under the Sulfur Dioxide Geoengineering scenario. It would be better if someone was switching a valve on and off because that would mean less poison was coming out, at least some of the time. Sulfur oxides, whether forming an aerosol trail in the right conditions or not, are still being dispersed by jet aircraft. Eventually ice nucleating to reflect sunlight or falling out on the ground directly on you.
Governments and corporations are not even coming out of pocket for this massive S.R.M. program while we all run around looking for nozzles on large fleets of secret aircraft and exotic substances. While this proven Geoengineering chemical is staring us right in the face. Pretty slick. Some of that saved 5 billion dollars a year most certainly has gone to fund counter-intelligence disinformation programs to misdirect the public as to the true nature and mechanisms of this Solar Radiation Management (S.R.M.) program. Confusing the subject for anyone who notices that Solar Geoengineering is occurring in the sky above them. Well meaning people question scientists and authorities with ideas about all manner of outrageous Geoengineering theories originally propagated as misinformation. So scientists, de-bunkers and the media can laugh at them, quoting elementary climate science. While we all look in the wrong place. This is called a “limited hang-out” or “gas-lighting” in counter-intelligence. A small number of supposed Anti-Geoengineering accounts on social media attack those whose research differs from the promoted line. Insisting everyone conform to the most extreme ideas about the Geoengineering conspiracy propagated over the last twenty years. Theories that can’t be proven one way or the other.
It’s a fact that Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is being dispersed by jet aircraft in large amounts right now and that SO2 is the leading Solar Geoengineering chemical for the scientific community and governments around the world. Let’s put two and two together. In any investigation the simplest provable answer is usually the right one. Somewhere in the middle of the two hyped narratives but no less terrifying. Revealing a more complicated and diabolical reality. | aerospace |

Well, those days are long gone. In a drone industry first, the autonomous drone startup was just valued at $1 billion dollars after raising $170 million in a Series D. drone
This is an important milestone for us as a company, but also for the U.S. drone industry. Together with our customers, we’re proving that a U.S. company can lead the way in this industry through AI and autonomy.
– Adam Bry, CEO and Co-founder of Skydio
In Silicon Valley parlance, a startup valued at $1 billion or more is called a unicorn.
So Skydio is now, by definition, a unicorn.
Skydio’s Autonomous Technology—From Follow Me Shots to Commercial Applications
Looking back over the last several years, Skydio’s rise to prominence in the commercial drone market wasn’t something you might have expected.
The company first made a splash in 2018 with a video showcasing a drone that autonomously followed a parkour athlete as she ran through the woods performing stunts.
Introducing Skydio R1: The Self-Flying Camera has Arrived
That video put Skydio on the map as a selfie drone that could fly itself.
But the autonomous technology behind it had big implications for commercial use cases, and the Skydio team has had its sights set on those scenarios from its inception.
We first started learning about Skydio’s extensive presence in commercial applications when we wrote about the American Security Drone Act (ASDA) last year.
At the time, we were curious to learn more about American drone companies and what the landscape might look like if a ban was put in place on Chinese drones for U.S. government use.
As we conducted research and interviews, Skydio’s name kept coming up as one of the most important domestic drone companies on the rise for commercial applications.
That was last May, just 10 months ago.
Two months after we wrote that piece the company skyrocketed onto the U.S. commercial drone scene, first with the release of its X2 drones series for commercial applications and then with a series of high-profile wins.
Here’s an overview of the milestones Skydio hit since then:
- July 2020—Skydio launches its X2 drone series for commercial applications.
- August 2020—Skydio X2 selected as one of the five Blue UAS providers approved by the Pentagon for U.S. government use.
- September 2020—Skydio announces a multi-million dollar partnership with EagleView for autonomous residential roof inspections.
- October 2020—North Carolina DOT gets a statewide BVLOS waiver to use Skydio X2 drones for bridge inspections.
- February 2020—Skydio X2D selected for the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance Program.
Helped by Tensions with China
Of all the U.S. drone companies that have tried to leverage U.S. mistrust of Chinese drone technology to gain more market share, Skydio may have been the most successful.
Over the last several years, there has been a simmering suspicion in the U.S. of DJI drones and Chinese drone components in general.
This mistrust hit the mainstream when the U.S. Army banned DJI drones in 2017.
And it gained even more traction in 2020, with the U.S. Department of Commerce placing DJI on its Entity List and the president issuing an 11th hour executive order banning Chinese drones from use at the government level.
[See a timeline of DJI spying concerns in our article on the DJI ban debate.]
As all of these actions were taken against DJI and other Chinese drone companies, Skydio was well-positioned to gain traction for its autonomous drone technology in the U.S.

With the combination of its elite Blue UAS status, its relationship with the Army, and its high visibility in the media, Skydio may in some ways have become the de facto trusted provider of drone solutions for government needs.
And for many in government, going with a trusted provider is incredibly important—if you know a company is trusted, that one factor may sway you to use its technology over any other competitor.
What Skydio Plans to Do with the Money It Just Raised
The $170 million Series D almost doubles the amount of money Skydio has raised, bringing the total to $350 million.
Skydio hasn’t shared specific plans for the new funds, saying only that the money will be used to “further accelerate product development and global sales expansion to support the rapidly growing demand for its autonomous drone solutions.”

When we first heard about how the Skydio X2 was being used in public safety applications, it was presented as one of many drones you might want in your fleet.
As it was explained to us last year by Fritz Reber, Skydio’s Head of Public Safety Integration, the X2 could quickly provide visual awareness in an ongoing situation, such as a fleeing suspect or missing person. But another drone like the Matrice 300 might be more useful for drawn out situations, like surveilling an embedded suspect or monitoring a structure fire.
And yet, as Skydio’s prominence has grown over the last year, the company seems to have gotten away from the idea that its technology is only useful for specific scenarios—in some instances, it seems like Skydio is actually positioning the X2 as a go-to solution for almost any commercial drone need.
As Skydio adoption grows over the next years, it will be interesting to see its X2 drones used at a greater scale, and how industries actually incorporate them into their workflows.
Will the X2 be the only drone we need for most commercial work? Or will we still see the need for a variety of drone technologies, each made for a specific type of commercial scenario? | aerospace |

The use of 100% titanium assembly hardware across the range is an industry first, placing ADV.1 at the forefront of wheel design and customer safety.
After a significant investment in design and exhaustive testing, our sister company, Tikore, has developed a beautiful 12-point fastener series that combines the absolute ultimate in strength, light weight, and durability with the impeccable corrosion resistance that only titanium can provide.
One of the rarest and most expensive of metals, titanium is usually reserved for use in aerospace and military applications where strength and durability are paramount, and light weight is critical to performance. Weighing only 55% of a comparable steel or stainless steel fastener, the new Tikore design assembly fasteners provide a reduction in unsprung wheel weight and moment of inertia, leading to improved acceleration and braking, as well as enhanced suspension performance.
Another amazing advantage of the Tikore design is the complete elimination of rust and galvanic corrosion, a common problem with wheels that use steel fasteners. Galvanic corrosion occurs when dissimilar metals like aluminum and steel are placed in direct contact. Over time, the aluminum erodes, weakening the threads and often causing a fastener failure. Titanium is completely impervious to this phenomenon, eliminating all corrosion and insuring a secure and safe assembly. In addition, the titanium finish never degrades due to moisture or road salt, retaining the “brand new” look for the life of the wheel.
ADV.1 is one of the world’s only wheel companies that designs, engineers, manufactures and tests all of their wheels in house. Utilizing state-of-the-art design and FEA software, and world-class TUV-style testing equipment, ADV.1’s engineering team insures that every ADV.1 wheel exceeds the world’s highest safety and homologation standards, including SAE, JWL and TUV. The switch to Tikore titanium is yet another example of ADV.1’s wheel industry leadership, clearly demonstrating that when it comes to wheels, only the best is good enough. | aerospace |

The advent of the 21st century has witnessed the rise of the space industry as a pivotal arena of technological innovation, economic opportunity, and geopolitical significance. Amidst this global landscape, South Korea has emerged as an increasingly influential player in space exploration and technology.
This paper comprehensively examines South Korea’s strategic approach to its space industry, covering growth patterns, governmental policies, and international positioning.
First, while discussing recent legislative changes and the Korean Aerospace Agency (KASA) establishment, we focus on the space industry ecosystem to highlight a shift to a market-oriented model for sustained growth. The shift in the space industry in South Korea hinges upon various factors, such as well-established governance, the private sector’s capital investment, and legal reforms.
Second, South Korea’s evolving space strategy, spanning three phases and aiming for global space economic power by 2045, is incorporated in the “Space Development 2.0” initiative that outlines goals to integrate space exploration with economic infrastructure. Also, South Korea’s military space strategy, outlining a three-stage plan for enhanced capabilities and institutional restructuring, has emerged as a new component of South Korea’s space strategy. The international cooperation strategy, including a strengthening space alliance with the U.S. and collaborations with emerging space nations, underscores South Korea’s commitment to a global and collaborative approach.
In conclusion, the paper provides a multifaceted analysis, offering insights into South Korea’s trajectory as a critical player in the evolving space landscape, covering legislative, economic, technological, and international dimensions. | aerospace |

Why does it happen? Is it something dangerous? What exactly do planes do? These are some of the questions.
If you have not noticed until today, the next time you hear a plane flying overhead, look up at the sky and you will probably notice a white trail of smoke in its passage.
Let's take a look at this phenomenon.
The main factors of creating traces of condensation are temperature, humidity and flight altitude. Depending on the value of these factors is also the time of possible observation, which ranges from a few seconds to a few minutes.
Most clouds you see are the result of moist warm air rising. As it gets higher, the air cools down to the temperature of the surrounding air. When it reaches the dew point, a visible cloud forms.
So the condensation trails behind aircraft are simply clouds. When airplanes fly at high altitudes, jet engines emit extremely hot air and water vapor, along with other combustion exhaust particles like carbon dioxide. More specifically, most aircraft fly at altitudes above 30,000 feet from the sea level, i.e. at altitudes where temperatures range between -45 and -61 degrees Celsius.
Low temperatures and low pressures at these altitudes result in water forming visible ice crystals. Like the upper-level cirrus clouds, the ice crystals will blow and scatter with the wind conditions. The results are white clouds known as contrails, which is short for condensation trails. | aerospace |

The cockpit will look the same as it always has: two seats, two sets of controls, a bunch of computer displays on the dashboard, but on this particular day you see just one pilot. You might think to yourself: What happened to the second pilot, and am I sure I really want to stay on this flight?
In the 1960’s it was quite common for a commercial airliner to have 3 crew members in the cockpit, 2 pilots and a flight engineer. With the launch of the 737 , the Boeing company (along with NASA and the FAA) proved the viability and safety of having only 2 crew members (both pilots) by adding an electronic system that replicated the function of the third crew member (whose job it had been to detect other aircraft in the vicinity). With over 16 million flights each year in the US, this two pilot system has long been considered the “proper way” to do things.
So back to you and your flight on this day in the not too distant future – why is there only one pilot? The answer can be attributed to the same forces that have reduced passenger legroom, packed your flight with more people, and charged you for checked bags and even snacks. Those same economic forces – operating costs – have also pushed the second pilot out of the cockpit. And if the economic costs weren’t enough, air travel is increasing worldwide (or at least it will once the COVID-19 pandemic subsides) and this demand is creating a huge shortage of pilots. We can build the aircraft to meet this need but we can’t find and train enough pilots to fly them. Still willing to stay on that plane?
Safety by the Numbers
Here is something to consider: Traveling by commercial airliner is by every measure an extremely safe way to get from point A to point B. Even with the highly publicized 737 MAX crashes in Indonesia (2018) and in Ethiopia (2019), the number of commercial airline fatalities per year has consistently dropped since 1972’s 2,500 deaths to last year’s 283 deaths. So why mess with success, why let the profit forces of economics potentially put your life at risk?
The answer might just be found by turning back the clock and asking the question: why did airplane manufacturers and commercial airlines conclude, some 50 years ago, that a 2-person crew was actually safer than a 3-person crew? The answer, as is often the case, can be found in technology. The primary function of the third crew member, the flight engineer, in critical situations (e.g. runway approach) was to assist the pilot in scanning the skies for nearby aircraft. In today’s modern airliners, this function is performed by systems such as TCAS and ADS-B , and the data from these systems is presented to the pilot(s) consistently and reliably throughout the flight and with much greater accuracy than a human could ever accomplish.
If you are like most people, you’re happy to embrace technology on your computer, your cell phone, even your car but when it comes to flying 35,000 feet in the air maybe we shouldn’t be too hasty. The concept of single pilot operations for commercial airlines has been studied and evaluated and simulated for many years and every group with a stake in the game has an opinion. Pilot unions see single pilot operations as a safety risk, commercial airlines see it as a logical solution to a set of growing cost problems, government regulatory groups are wary of the challenges needed for safety certification, and aircraft manufacturers are reluctant to go “all in” until the dust settles. Most all groups agree though that the technology is there (or will be shortly) but the greatest hurdle may very well be the consumer, like you, who looks into that cockpit and says, “where’s the other pilot”?
Reaching New Heights of Aircraft Technology
Two new technologies are needed to take the second pilot out of the cockpit: 1) aircraft control from the ground for emergency situations, and 2) enhanced information conveyed to the pilot to make up for the loss of a co-pilot.
If we are going to allow our commercial airplanes to fly with just one pilot, we have to account for pilot “incapacitation” and to allow for someone else to fly the plane. Pilot incapacitation rates are hard to define, but one study out of the UK indicates that pilots experience some form of incapacitation (physiological or psychological) at a rate of 0.25% annually. If there are 16 million flights in the US every year and if the airlines want their airplanes operated by a single pilot, then the FAA, NASA and other industry leaders will need to develop systems and infrastructure to remotely take over nearly 100 flights per day. Does the technology exist to do this? Yes. Would “remote control” of an airborne system be safe and reliable? Yes. Can we overcome cybersecurity and hacking concerns? Yes (we’re flying drones with Hellfire missiles on them in hostile environments, aren’t we?) Would the costs be justified? Absolutely. Will the flying public be comfortable with single pilot operations? Hard to tell.
Although 100 incapacitated pilots a day is a rather dramatic scenario, there is also great concern about the other 44,000 flights each day with healthy pilots. Flying a commercial airliner is a complex task that requires great skill and training. There are times during a flight when pilot workload is very high and if something goes wrong the stresses can be quite significant. With two pilots the workload is always shared and there is always a second opinion available should emergencies arise. When you take one of the crew members out of the cockpit you must replace him/her with technology that can efficiently and reliably assist the remaining pilot. That technology is being developed right now. The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms that are allowing self-driving cars to navigate our streets and highways will also serve as the foundation for “pilot assistance” in the air. These synthetic pilots will not only offload some of the mundane tasks of flying an aircraft and monitoring avionics systems, these associates will also be there in an emergency to quickly and calmly offer expert guidance and support.
And why doesn’t the cockpit look radically different and more like something in a science fiction movie? Most people might be surprised to know that commercial airliners pretty much can fly themselves now with the two pilots oftentimes performing mostly “monitoring operations”. If you are impressed with an automobile that can parallel park without the driver touching the steering wheel, how do you feel about the technology that guides a 70 ton airplane traveling at 150 miles per hour as it lands on a runway – all without the aid of a human? Believe it or not, this level of “autonomy” has been around and flying in aviation systems for decades. These auto-pilot, auto-throttle and auto-land systems, are already in place – the airplane just needs an intelligent hand (human-in-the-air, human-on-the-ground, or an artificial co-pilot) to guide it.
Artificially intelligent co-pilots are coming. They will first be deployed in cargo transport aircraft and then, once they’ve proven their reliability and safety, you’ll be looking into the cockpit on your next flight and you’ll see something missing. That man or woman, in a freshly pressed white shirt with epaulets on the shoulder, checking off boxes on a paper on a clipboard, will be gone. Economics will force this change. Technology will enable it to happen safely. The only question is, when will you be comfortable enough with it to sleep through your flight without giving it a second thought? | aerospace |

See what the secret cabins look like.
“On long flights, there’s most likely flight attendants who are sleeping below you or above you,” flight attendant Kat Kamalani previously told Insider.
On the Boeing 777, pilots have their own overhead sleeping compartments, which feature two roomy sleeping berths, as well as two business-class seats, and enough room for a closet, sink, or lavatory, depending on the airline.
Here we see the A350 XWB flight attendants’ area, which sleeps six.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - The latest SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch will likely be visible across the area early Friday morning.
The launch is scheduled from Cape Canaveral, Florida and set for 5:42 A.M. Friday. Weather officials are predicting a 90% chance of favorable weather conditions at launch time.
The trajectory of the launch, as well as the time of the day (just before sunrise) suggest the launch will be visible from Grand Strand. Launches that happen near sunrise or sunset are able to capture sunlight high in atmosphere illuminating the exhaust trail of the rocket.
The launch will most likely be visible from 30 seconds to 5 minutes after liftoff from Florida.
As long as skies are clear, the easiest way to view the launch is in an area with a clear view to the eastern and southeastern sky. The beaches will have the best vantage point and darkest skies to provide the best view.

As Mars exploration prepares for a rebirth, a European rover tunes up its gear for the challenges ahead. Yesterday, July 23, 2020, the European Space Agency (ESA) and dozens of industrial partners assessed the readiness of the ExoMars robotic explorer, named Rosalind Franklin, for a trip to the Red Planet in 2022. The European rover will drill down to two meters into the Martian surface to sample the soil, analyze its composition and search for evidence of life buried underground.
The European Space Agency portal features the latest news in space exploration, human spaceflight, launchers, telecommunications, navigation, monitoring and space science.
The meeting was attended by scientific representatives from eight countries, including Harrie Massey (United Kingdom). The Western European nations decided to have two agencies: one concerned with developing a launch system, ELDO (European Launcher Development Organisation), and the other the precursor of the European Space Agency, ESRO (European Space Research Organisation). The latter was established on 20 March 1964 by an agreement signed on 14 June 1962.
Holidays and leave ESA staff are entitled to 12 public holidays and 32.5 days of annual leave each year (30 days for Young Graduate Trainees and Internal Research Fellows). Expatriate staff can benefit from an additional eight days home leave every two years, under certain conditions.

Communications technology company Poly, rebranded from Plantronics earlier this year, made the astronauts’ headsets for this space mission and many others.
“The idea was clever, and the product turned out to be revolutionary,” said Mike Erbe, senior director of special projects at Poly.
Plantronics was founded in 1961 by the late Courtney Graham and Keith Larkin, two pilots who wanted to create lighter-weight headsets for pilots. While Plantronics was sending headsets to the Federal Aviation Administration for evaluation in 1962, NASA was looking for a lightweight headset that could connect to an astronaut’s emergency radio, which was created after astronaut Gus Grisson lost his communication system during the Mercury-Redstone 4 mission.
These headsets became the Model MS50 and StarSet. The MS50 was made in just 11 days and was designed to fit inside the “Snoopy Caps” or communications carriers the astronauts wore under their helmets. Plantronics’ headsets were first used in space in October 1962 on the Mercury-Atlas 8 mission with American aviator Wally Shirra, according to Erbe.
In 1964, Plantronics signed contracts with the FAA and NASA to create aeronautical headsets for pilots and astronauts.
Plantronics also provided headsets for Mercury, Gemini and Skylab missions. Poly continues to work with aerospace companies contracted by NASA, including Quintron Systems, O’Ryan Systems and Compunetix.
Now in their fourth generation, the Model MS50 headset is still used today by commercial airline pilots and the StarSet headset is still used by air traffic controllers. Poly continues to be active among aerospace companies contracted by NASA, including Quintron Systems, O’Ryan Systems and Compunetix. The company has also worked with the FAA for nearly 20 years.
Poly’s technology has advanced to cordless devices, wireless and Bluetooth functions for business and personal use. Its headsets are used at the Santa Cruz Regional 911 center and emergency dispatch, too.
“Our products are used in mission-critical environments that really, really have a significant effect on people’s lives,” Erbe said. “We don’t have to take everything seriously, but we have a very, very serious business, in terms of many of the things that we do and the way our products are used. So there’s a commitment to excellence. That is a cornerstone.”
Very few pieces of equipment from the space missions survive in museums, and the pieces that Poly has, Erbe “safeguards with his life.”
Poly kicked off its celebration of the anniversary by sponsoring Apollo 11’s 50th Anniversary Gala with Buzz Aldrin Ventures last week in Los Angeles. Erbe said the celebration will continue this week with a video shoot of the CEO speaking to the legacy of the moon mission.
Poly is not the only local entity celebrating the anniversary of man landing on the moon. A UC Santa Cruz professor trained Apollo astronauts.
The late UC Santa Cruz professor Aaron Waters, who founded the university’s geology department, trained Apollo astronauts to identify rocks, interpret volcanic features and distinguish volcanic craters from impact craters. Among the astronauts he trained were Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
“He was a great leader and remarkable person,” said Robert Garrison, emeritus professor of UC Santa Cruz’s Department of Earth & Planetary Sciences and also of the Department of Ocean Sciences. Garrison worked with Waters until Waters retired in 1972. | aerospace |

Drone photographers have flocked to Iceland to capture its beauty from a bird's-eye view. With sprawling national parks, scenic vistas, and diverse wildlife, it’s obvious why this island is a dream location for any photographer.
However, with great technology comes great responsibility. Want to fly your vehicle in Iceland? Check out these drone dos and don’ts first.
Before you hop on the plane with your drone, read on about responsible vehicle use in Iceland.
Responsible drone users should familiarize themselves with their unmanned vehicle before use for the safety of themselves and others. For drones under 25 kg used for recreational purposes, no special training or licenses are required.
To protect the people and wildlife of Iceland, the Icelandic Transport Authority created a comprehensive list of rules and regulations on drone flights. Below you will find some of the key rules to a fun and safe drone flight in Iceland.
1. It is prohibited to fly a remotely piloted aircraft over crowds of people.
2. Remotely piloted aircraft may only be flown for leisure within densely populated areas if the maximum take-off mass does not exceed 3 kg.
3. Remotely piloted aircraft may not be flown closer than 50 meters to residential buildings or premises without approval by the owner, caretaker or resident’s association.
4. Remotely piloted aircraft may be flown outside densely populated areas if the maximum take-off mass does not exceed 25 kg. Remotely piloted aircraft may not be flown closer than 150 meters to holiday cottages, residential buildings or premises outside urban areas without approval by the owner or caretaker.
5. Remotely piloted aircraft flights shall always be conducted within visual line of sight of a remote pilot or an RPA observer of a remotely piloted aircraft. Aircraft weighing less than 3 kg may be flown beyond visual line of sight.
6. Do not operate drones under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
7. Do not exceed a maximum height of 120 meters (394 feet).
Before taking your drone out for flight, familiarize yourself with the full list of Iceland drone laws from The Icelandic Transport Authority here.
In Iceland, drone laws differ depending on whether you wish to fly for recreational purposes or commercial/research purposes. Commercial purposes include professional photographers, people of the press, scientists on research projects, engineering firms, real estate firms, etc.
If you plan to fly your drone for commercial purposes you must register your vehicle with the ITA here. Insurance for these vehicles is also mandatory.
For more detailed regulations on commercial drone use, read here.
If you don’t have a drone yet but might want to buy one on your trip, Iceland has several stores where they’re available. Consumers can find vehicles at the hardware store ELKO for prices ranging from 5000 ISK to 333,000 ISK. In downtown Reykjavík there is a store dedicated to drones called DJI Reykjavík. This one-stop shop is perfect not just for new shoppers but also for owners who may have left some equipment at home.
Iceland pours over with natural attractions. Simply put, each corner of the country is a photo opportunity. However, due to environmental protection, drones are not permitted at all of the country’s stunning sites.
Still, there are some gorgeous landscapes where unmanned vehicles are allowed. The Westfjords have become a popular location for drone photography. Bursting with green landscapes and rugged cliffs, it’s a prime location for spectacular wildlife photography.
Highlights of the Westfjords include Arnarfjörður fjord and Rauðisandur beach. However, flying drones at Látrabjarg cliffs is prohibited as to not disturb the birdlife.
The Icelandic Transport Authority (ITA) defines drones as “Unmanned aircraft that is remotely piloted, i.e. flown by using remote control system.” As UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) have begun to populate the skies more frequently, the ITA has had to regulate their use.
Yes. Drone photography is permitted in Iceland for both recreational and commercial use. To make sure you are following the country laws for drone use, check The Icelandic Transport Authority site. Unmanned vehicles are prohibited in some areas of the country.
If you are planning on using your drone for commercial use, remember to register your vehicle with the ITA first.
Absolutely! Drones are welcome through Iceland’s borders. However, there are some travel tips to keep in mind:
Drones are prohibited at many of Iceland’s most famous natural attractions. Most of our tours visit these popular sites and therefore drones are not allowed on these tours. We encourage you to bring your handheld cameras, however, so you can still capture your adventure!
Iceland’s national parks are tempting spots for aerial photos. However, as of 2016, drones are prohibited in these areas. If you wish to grab drone shots of these sprawling nature zones, you must apply for a permit. For more information, check the following national park websites:
National parks aren’t the only natural attractions protected by law. Iceland has 114 protected areas under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Agency of Iceland. Some popular natural attractions where drones are prohibited include:
In order to fly over protected areas, you must get permission from the agency. More information can be found on their website.
The Icelandic Transport Authority states the distance limit for airports with scheduled international air services as 2 km. The distance limit for other airports with scheduled services is 1.5 km.
A permit from Isavia, the airport operator, is required for flying a remotely piloted aircraft within: | aerospace |

Cardullo, then a Link Simulation and Training employee, worked on the Apollo program and has decades of experience in simulation for flight and aerospace applications. Since joining Binghamton’s faculty in 1980, he has explored some of the underlying principles of simulation, including mathematical models and signal processing.
“Space simulators are unique, particularly the Apollo simulators,” Cardullo says. “You can train people to fly airplanes and drive cars by having them fly airplanes and drive cars. But you couldn’t train an astronaut to go to the moon by going to the moon. So you had to have a very sophisticated simulator to do that. The astronauts often said ‘just like in the simulator’ as they encountered events.”
In recent years, flight and driving simulators have grown increasingly realistic, with significant improvements in motion cues. Cardullo notes that physiology and biology play a growing role in simulation, as do new ideas about cognition and learning.
“Simulators, I think, are creating better pilots,” he says. “They’re better able to handle complex situations.” Engine failure, like the problem in the 2009 so-called Miracle on the Hudson flight, is a prime example. Most pilots experience engine failure only in simulations. Nevertheless, they are often able to identify it and to respond appropriately because of that training.
Cardullo, a professor of mechanical engineering whose work has been supported by NASA as well as the Office of Naval Research and the Air Force Research Laboratory, earned his master’s degree from Binghamton. He sees applications for his work wherever he goes. A decade ago, he explored the possibility that data from simulators could be used to identify specific pilots, which could be useful in determining whether a pilot had been disabled or was impaired in some way. An avid Red Sox fan, he has also considered taking what he knows about brain waves to see whether they are the reason that some athletes respond faster than others to visual information. Perhaps, he says, there was some scientific truth behind the “fast eyes” of the late Boston great Ted Williams.
Cardullo is also interested in medical applications of his field, especially in the idea that surgeons benefit from simulation training in much the same way pilots do. Simulators can present malfunctions and difficulties to doctors so that they can become more experienced in dealing with them. (Standard training now often relies on the use of pigs.) Cardullo hopes to build a simulator that would provide tactile sensation to surgeons. “My hypothesis is that tactile feedback will improve the surgeon’s performance,” he says. Simulation technology may also lead to improvements in the design of surgical robots, Cardullo says, just as it has led to better aircraft.
He wants to examine the complications surrounding robotic surgery done remotely, including questions about satellite and phone connections. “The up-down time can be two seconds,” he says. “A lot of simulation research that I’ve done over the years is looking at the effect of that communication delay on human performance. Once you get over about 70 or 80 milliseconds of delay, it affects performance. You can’t have that if somebody’s cutting out someone’s liver.” | aerospace |

The other is to use an array of microphones to detect and locate drones.Radar can accurately track the position of drones flying in the air.Collectively, these improvements will increase the drone's range, lift capacity, and overall capability, making it more lethal and harder to deal with.
Improvements will extend to size, form factor, energy storage, propulsion technology, sensors, and the ability to utilize and integrate advanced computer capabilities.The rapid adoption of drones by ordinary consumers and businesses has created a market that will continue to drive technological advancements in drones for the foreseeable future.
What does the anti-drone jammer device rely on to detect drones?
When two or more RF sensors are used, the drone can be located by calculating various angles and using mathematical methods to find the drone in 3D space.Current commercial uses of aerial drones include inspecting roofs with thermal cameras, surveying large areas (such as farmland or responding to disasters), chemical applications on farmland, product delivery, photography, videography, and drone racing.
RF scanners are usually only able to detect devices in a known frequency range.Today, I would like to introduce to you the anti-drone equipment - detection drone jammer gps.This also means that the system will continue to improve over time as the type of signal received by the system continues to improve.RF systems use radio frequencies to detect nearby drones.Non-commercial use can include all of the above, as well as hobbyist personal use.
An RF system is passive, which means it doesn't transmit anything.It just receives electromagnetic wave signals from drones in the areaSo the anti-drone industry also came into being.It can also flag and filter false alarms caused by Wi-Fi scanners and sniffers.As drone technology has grown in popularity around the world, so has the activity of illegal drones.
The first: is radio frequency (RF) detection.
The RF system works by picking up the drone's signal, then sniffing the remote's signal and the remote's approximate location.As a result, many businesses need anti-drone solutions to keep illegal drones out of sensitive airspace.There are 4 UAS RF communication categories: Remotely Controlled (RC) amateur drones, licensed for control in traditional shared amateur frequency bands. These bands are typically used outside of low baud rate telemetry control
These vision systems typically use electro-optical and infrared cameras to view drones.The second method of anti-drone jammer devices is to use cameras to visually detect drones in the sky.
Optical detection systems are often combined with other systems due to resolution and field of view limitations.Military drones, are not regulated by civilian regulators that use traditional military communications bands
Comparing the system with database data allows the system to identify the exact drone model.Commercial drones that operate compliantly in the frequency bands specified by the respective country’s civil regulators
The second type: is an optical detection
The third type: is radar detection
Radar detection solution to detect drones flying over a distance of one kilometer.Today, many radar systems have a vertical detection range of about 10 to 30 degrees, which is not nearly enough when detecting drones flying at various altitudes.One of the most talked about drone detection methods is radar detection.
Most radars are designed to detect civilian/military aircraft and helicopters, not multi-rotor drones.Radar is only suitable for use in open areas, as trees and other ground objects can appear on the radar and give false readings.Radar can accurately track the position of drones flying in the air.
Radar detects drones in three ways.
To ensure that the drone's position can be accurately detected, a timing reference signal must be included each time the radar receives a signal back.The third, today's military radar systems, are so sensitive that they can detect the position and direction of travel of the drone based on the difference in frequency between uncompressed and compressed air.The first, a pulsed signal, sends out an intermittent pulse to detect drones in the area.
The second is to emit continuous electromagnetic wave signals to actively track the position and speed of the drone.The shorter the pulse time, the higher the resolution of the radar, making it easier to determine the position of the drone. | aerospace |

NASA had an official statement ready for the occasion. In fact, comments had been prepared six months earlier, when delays in Project Mercury made it apparent that a cosmonaut might beat an astronaut into space.
But the agency wasn't ready for the time difference between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. At 4 a.m., a telephone rang in the room of NASA's public relations man, "Shorty" Powers.
Do you have a comment about the Russian achievement? a reporter asked, and Powers, only half awake, groggily replied, "We're all asleep down here," and hung up.
President John F. Kennedy was more eloquent. "We are behind," he said.
NASA administrators were called before the House of Representatives to explain. A few senators wanted Mercury to proceed in secrecy, lest the United States be embarrassed by more public failures.
But part of Project Mercury was showing what the free world could do, and that included freedom of the press. In late April, NASA issued credentials to 350 reporters and photographers, allowing them access to Cape Canaveral to cover the upcoming first launch of an American astronaut.
The next day, photographer Eugene Edmonds stood beside John Glenn to watch yet another test of the Atlas rocket. Edmonds didn't need credentials; he worked for NASA.
It was the first launch he had ever seen from ground level. Usually, he shot photos from the back seat of an airplane. An F-106 roared past, with astronaut Gus Grissom at the controls, chasing the rocket as it lifted off. Forty seconds later, an explosion ripped the air.
Edmonds feared for Grissom, but the plane circled around, in the clear.
At mission control, Flight Director Chris Kraft kicked himself. He had worried that the Russians might sabotage the rocket by sending radio signals from the "fishing trawler" that anchored off the Cape during every American launch.
They had not; the "destruct" signal had been sent by the range safety officer after the Atlas autopilot failed. Just in case the automatic abort system didn't work, either, Kraft sent a backup command ordering the capsule to part company with the rocket.
During the next "come-to-Jesus" critique, he had to admit to slow reflexes - he'd sent the command a full 10 seconds late. He judged his performance "intolerable."
The final Little Joe flight - the last test of the abort system - came three days later from Wallops Island. Edmonds was to shoot photos from an F-101 jet; the pilot he considered a "hotshot," but Edmonds acknowledged him as the best he'd ever flown with.
The plan called for meeting the rocket at 45,000 feet, then following the capsule and parachute down to 25,000 feet. Circling, peering toward the ground, Edmonds saw the fire and smoke of ignition, then more flashes as the small rockets of the abort system kicked on.
For the third time, the action was taking place too low for him to photograph.
"Oh, God, not again!" Edmonds shouted, then, "Down! Go down!" to the pilot.
The plane looped and plummeted. Although he was frantic to catch up with the falling capsule, Edmonds became aware of an intense quiet as the plane dropped and he felt weightless. He had never noticed it before.
"Down! Down!" he shouted again, and the pilot's voice came back through his headset: "Edmonds, will you please shut up while I try to restart these damn engines?"
The photographer froze, and closed his eyes. He felt gravity start to pull again, and finally the pilot said, "Relax, Gene, they're both running OK."
The Ledger-Dispatch newspaper reported of the Little Joe test: "After a flight that produced stresses even more violent than the extreme conditions that had been planned, the capsule was back on the beach. ... Asked if a man could have lived through it, project manager William M. Bland replied: 'Unquestionably.' "
Manned flight was a go.
The big question was "Who?"
The astronauts had been informed months earlier that Alan Shepard would make the first flight; the public had been kept in the dark. "Name that astronaut" became the media's obsession.
John Glenn and Shepard were reported to be at the Holiday Inn in Cocoa Beach, Fla., and sporting on the shore. "If Shepard ... is the man who will make that flight, he certainly did not act like it," reported the Ledger-Dispatch. "He chatted with a disappointed air, talked with no enthusiasm, and his customary jokes had disappeared."
The Associated Press wrote: "Everyone in missileland from barber to barmaid is talking about the 'man shoot.' ... A reporter spotted two couches, the specially fitted kind on which the astronaut will recline inside his space capsule. The couches were labeled 'Glenn' and 'Shepard.' Another newsman suggested, 'Maybe Grissom's couch is already in the capsule.' "
The Ledger-Dispatch came right back with a statement from a local bartender: "It ain't gonna be Grissom. I saw him have two helpings of sherbet."
The telephone company called in extra manpower to install 400 new phone lines in Cocoa Beach. JFK's staff telephoned NASA for reassurance that the abort system would work if needed.
Bad weather delayed the flight from May 2 to May 4, then once again. The press grew restless.
"Officials spent three hours Sunday showing reporters movies on Project Mercury, having a thoroughly delightful chat about bus schedules to the launch site and discussing other such inconsequential items until the session was broken up when 350 reporters started a fight over who was going to use the 70 phones available," reported the Ledger-Dispatch.
The Norfolk newspaper editorialized about the hullabaloo of "interviews, bulletins about the breakfasts the astronauts ate, or were to eat, or decided not to eat. ... The whole thing has become a sideshow."
On the beaches, spectators gathered each time the launch seemed imminent. "I think we'll overtake the Russians because we have God on our side," one woman told reporter Virginia Biggins.
On May 5, the heavens cleared.
That morning, Kraft stepped outside of mission control to get his own look at the rain clouds that had delayed the launch for so many days. They were breaking up.
"Better get back to the console," he thought. "This thing's gonna go."
On the console's small TV screen, he could see the black-and-white Redstone rocket with "United States" painted on it in bold letters. Shepard, dressed in his silver pressure suit, carrying a portable air conditioner to keep the suit cool, stepped out of a van and paused to look up at the capsule he had named Freedom 7,83 feet above him.
"He looks like a spaceman," Kraft thought, and his stomach lurched.
As the countdown neared zero, monitors showed that Shepard's heart rate surged to 126 beats a minute. Every station checked in with the flight director:
"Surgeon is go."
"Launch is go."
Kraft glanced down while making a final check with the range safety officer and was shocked not to see his press-to-talk microphone key on his belt. He was trembling; he leaned his hands against the console to stop them from shaking. Once he calmed down, he could see the mic key again, in its usual place. He'd been shaking so hard, it had blurred out of sight.
In the grandstand, Nancy Lowe's heart was in her mouth as the astronauts' secretary watched the rocket ascend. Around her, spectators screamed, "Go! Go!"
In Virginia Beach, outside the Shepards' house in Bay Colony, reporters gathered to wait for Mrs. Astronaut to appear. A grocery deliveryman came down the street as if it were a normal day.
Kraft, watching on his console, wondered what it must feel like to see the Earth from 116 miles above. For 15 minutes and 22 seconds, Shepard soared, weightless for about one-third of the time. He splashed down 302 miles from Cape Canaveral and was quickly retrieved by one of the Navy ships that had been stationed along 500 miles of possible landing sites.
His wife stepped out of the house to tell reporters, "It was just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful." She thanked the military pilot who had that morning made a vapor-trail "S" in the sky above her house.
Kraft relaxed. He lit a cigar. Then he pressed his now-stationary mic key and said, "Helluva day, team. Well done. Congratulations."
"The exciting moment marking the start of the epic flight seemed surpassed only by the magnificence and beauty of the giant rocket that appeared to be behaving as though the hand of God were upon her," the Ledger-Dispatch enthused in its afternoon edition.
In following days, Shepard received a medal from JFK, rode through crowd-lined streets and basked in the adulation of millions. Freedom 7 went on a world tour; Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was said to be unhappy that the American space shot drew so much attention.
Soviet secrecy backfired; many people wondered whether Gagarin's orbital flight had actually happened.
JFK took advantage of the resurgence of national pride. In a speech on May 25, he said, "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth."
Listening, Kraft was stunned. Land a man on the moon? Mercury had barely passed the edge of space. And there was something else to occupy his mind.
The Space Task Group would be leaving Langley. | aerospace |

The Zengerle crew flew in Group A of the formation. This was John Paul’s sixteenth mission, and he served as the engineer on the aircraft. The aircraft flown was nicknamed “Heaven Can Wait.” Although the target was cloudy, the aircrafts proceeded to drop bombs. It is speculated that Stralsund, a city on the Baltic Coast of Germany, was bombed during these attacks.
According to Ed Huntiznger, “flak was encountered over the Danish Peninsula” but it was “scattered and inaccurate.” With only one plane lost and two aborts out of a scheduled 35 aircraft, this mission was deemed a success for the 562nd Bomber Squadron and the 388th Bomber Group as a whole. | aerospace |

Quoting from Wikipedia:
- The Breda Ba.65 was an all-metal single-engine, low-wing monoplane used by Aviazione Legionaria during the Spanish Civil War and Regia Aeronautica in the first part of World War II. It was the only Italian ground-attack aircraft that saw active service in this role. It saw service almost exclusively on the North African front. In addition to more than 150 aircraft operated by the Italian forces, a total of 55 were exported and used by the air forces of Iraq, Chile and Portugal.

It doesn’t have to be deep space, but sometimes the meaning can be pretty deep.
We’re going to start with the launches that happened uh, starting on the 8th of January, there was a Long March 7A out of Wang Chang in China, carrying a satellite called Shijian-23.
This was a launch to geostationary transfer orbit.
So the 7A, basically as opposed to the seven, it adds a third stage which is hydrogen.
Uh, this booster also had four strap-on liquid boosters and according to sources, it was one of the largest satellites launched by the sort of new generation of kerosene oxid locks rockets that China’s uh, championing.
Um, so yeah, that means that by some estimates the satellite must have masked about six tons and that’s all we know: Geostationary communication satellite.
On January 9th, there was another Chinese spacecraft but a much smaller four-stage solid rocket motor, the series one from uh, Galactic Energy and it carried a batch of small education satellites.
I think into a uh, I believe it’s a sun-synchronous orbit.
But yes, one of the big most talked about launchers of the last couple of weeks has been on the ninth.
It was Virgin Orbit using Cosmic Girl and Launcher One to attempt to put the first payload into orbit from British soil and it wasn’t successful as you already know.
Yeah, so we, they did put out an update that confirmed that yes, they had reached space which, you know, it’s close but no cigar.
They, at some point, had failed, the engine failed.
Um, while it was sort of while we’re having problems with Telemetry, they lost the engine, the engine shut down, the payloads fell back.
I think they were about two kilometers per second short, so all the payloads ended up burning up and yeah, the chance for somebody else to get the first launch from British soil is still open and there are quite a few candidates and it would be nice to know a little more about what happens.
I hope we get details on that.
I mean, having said that, you know we had Blue Origin, their launch vehicle the New Shepard failed last year, we still haven’t had an update on that.
Um, later on the 10th, there was a Falcon 9 carrying 41 web satellites and you know that was all great, but on the 10th, the other rocket that everyone was talking about was Abel’s RS-1 which was the debut launch, the premier launch of this uh launch vehicle from Kodiak in Alaska, and of course well, because it’s so hard streaming, they weren’t providing any streaming video except their launch facility which was they’re not broadcasting to the world.
Yeah, what we were told was that it did fail, we saw some explosion, some, there was a webcam or something somewhere which showed what looked like a fairly large plume from a failure.
Now, they released some video, a small you know segment showing it ascending past the camera on the launch tower and then they released a photo and using that I applied my mathematical deduction skills to figure out that had flawed far about 12 seconds before the engines failed, then it had ascended a little further and fell back and exploded and yeah, we got a confirmation note from them saying yeah had flown for 10.
97 seconds at which point all engine valves were de-energized causing the engines to shut down.
It went up, went down, exploded, rud big bada boom fire which destroyed apparently the tent that covers their launch processing facility.
It sounds like they have some evidence showing that there was a fire in the engine bay and this sounds very similar to the fire that destroyed one of the early Astra launches which was also from Kodiak, the difference being that they use electric pumps and ABL, they use proper turbo pumps.
Okay, so hoping that we’ll get some more on that going forwards.
Be nice to see some more photos, uh, we’ll certainly get some more satellite photos of what’s going on over time.
But moving on to the 12th of January, there was a Long March 2C from Chi Chang.
Uh, this is the geosynchronous launch of the Communications satellite company.
It’s apparently a 4.3 tons communication satellite to geostationary orbit and I think this is actually the heaviest satellite launched uh, to GTO from that site.
13th of January, there was a Long March 2D from Ji Kuan, uh, carrying a Yoga and 37 XI and 22A and 22B.
This was into a 42 degree, 500 kilometer orbit.
Don’t really know much about any of those spacecraft, but given that we have a Sheeran A and B, it’s quite possible they’ll be doing uh, proximity operations, because we’ve seen that in the past with several of the Xi’an satellites.
15th of January, there was a Long March 2D and this was carrying a bunch of ride-share payloads into a 500 kilometer Sun synchronous orbits.
This is a Rideshare organized by China Great Wall Industry Corporation.
This is a third flight under their ride share program.
There was a I don’t, I think it was like a, I don’t know how it was like 14 different payloads, mostly remote sensing as you would expect from a sun synchronous orbit.
15th of January.
We had an awesome Falcon heavy launch.
It was probably the most spectacular Falcon heavy launch yet because it happened very close to Sunrise.
Uh, we had or sorry, very close to Sunset again, very pretty visibility, amazing shots showing these boosters coming back and creating the jellyfish.
So this was the first launch for the Space Force, so it’s in a USS F67.
It was the first SpaceX Falcon heavy launch for Space Force.
Um, its payload was continuously broadcast augmenting satcom, and there was a second payload which was like a uh, like a I don’t know, a space tug carrying a bunch of hosted payloads.
The expanded set, the central core was expanded.
It sounds like they’re not gonna recover any Center course for Falcon Heavies going forward, but I could be wrong.
Yeah, footage though was absolutely amazing.
There was so many great food shots, especially some amazing tracking shows, the actual the official tracking shot.
They lost focus at the moment of stage separation, but the amateurs on the ground, they did it.
We got to see this.
Okay, um 18th of January there are Falcon 9 carrying a GPS3 satellite number six called uh Emilia Earhart.
Of course, this is of course a launch into medium earth orbit, not quite GTO, a little lower down, as the center core landed on uh, your shortfall of Gravitas.
So, uh, the booster was previously used.
It carried a crew 5, and this is the fifth launch of GPS, uh, that, and the next one.
It’s the last one by SpaceX for a while, by the sound of things.
The next one should be a Vulcan launch.
Um, which you know, again, we hope to see this flying later this year.
And just this morning, hours ago, I got up, hoping to see a launch out of Vandenberg.
There was a Starlink launch there, and unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see anything from the front of my house.
It was sort of clear, but basically, it was late enough that the sun had come up and was just enough clouds, a thin veil of clouds emitting too much light for me to actually find it in the glare.
Still, uh, it was very cool to see another launch, the first launch of the year from Vandenberg.
Now, we are looking forward, uh, very soon to the first launch of electron rocket Labs electron from the East Coast.
Virginia is for launch lovers.
Um, a Rocket Lab also has been sharing some images of new hardware, some new payloads are going up in their Photon bus, but Peter Beck showed off the large carbon fiber I think it’s oxidizer tanks for the neutron rocket.
They are moving very fast on that.
They’ve got a very aggressive timeline, especially since they’re talking about doing stage combustion.
Uh, but yeah, that was very cool also.
Tori Bruno has been sharing a lot of Vulcan images.
They basically have taken the Vulcan, the second stage, the fairing from their factory in Decatur, Alabama and loaded it onto the ship.
We’ve seen all this process.
This is they move it on this ship from Alabama over to Florida.
Since it carries rocket, it is called a rocket ship, yes.
Uh, we’re looking really looking forward to Falcon and also from uh, you know, the Gulf Coast.
Uh, apparently the Yellow Jackets Space Program, Georgia Tech, badgered me to say hey, can we get a shout out for our little suborbital launch?
They have their student uh, rockets, you know, community.
They have a rocket called Goldilocks.
It runs on jet A and liquid oxygen.
It’s pressure fed and they did a test, a subscale test launch at uh, Friends of Amateur Rocketry in Southern California and near Mojave.
I’m hoping they get to upscale this to the full-on Carman line and it’d be cool to actually get to see this up close.
Um, for suborbital launch sites in Europe, you know we talked about how virgin was trying to do the first orbital launch from Europe.
Well, um, in Sweden, this range launch site, they had an opening ceremony for their orbital launch authorizations.
They brought in VIPs from Issa, they brought in the king of Sweden and that’s great.
But at this point, there’s still no confirmed customers who actually want to perform orbital rocket launches from this range.
We’ve got like Ariane space who want to test that they miss and Isar Rocket Factory, Alsberg they all want to do testing there but I know the RFA they want to actually launch from Sax Award in Shetlands, you know, north of Scotland.
So we’re still not clear whether there’s any customers of this going forward.
Okay, in deep space, actual deep space, we got this really cool photo of the lunar pole and it looks like any other yellow skull.
Well, this is I’ve seen this before, no you haven’t because this is Shackleton crater, and Shackleton crater is permanently shadowed.
So, on Korea’s January uh, orbiter there is a NASA payload called uh, Shadow Cam, and it uses basically big aperture, big fat pixels, long integration times to let it peer down and look at the scattered light from a permanently shadowed crater.
So, you think about it, the crater isn’t getting it’s dark because it’s not getting direct sunlight, but there’s illumination from the other crater rims in the area around it and that does create visible features in those dark areas and they’re looking for evidence that there might be you know, blocks of ice or something like that.
So, this is very cool that we got to see this.
Meanwhile, the lunar flashlight which wants to actually illuminate, you know, with a laser and actually get that data back, it’s having thruster problems.
It’s on this long route to the moon.
It’s a small cubesat.
Uh, I think thrusters three and four are underperforming and it’s possible there’s some sort of obstruction in the fuel lines.
This cubesat is notable because it’s the first payload Beyond low earth orbit to use the green propellant called a advanced spacecraft energetic non-toxic or Ascent.
Right, so this is basically, I did the video about this a while back.
Modern propellants are usually pretty darn toxic, right?
Hydrazine is not just explosive, it’s also carcinogenic, toxic and very corrosive.
So, they have been developing new green fuels and it’s not just like these are better for people to handle, right?
They may be unable to make lunar orbit.
I haven’t seen an update in the last few days, but it’s possible that Luna HMAP is not going to make it to the moon, uh, or at least in any time soon.
Okay, um Russia, Russia has, uh, apparently been wet, apparently may have a deal to return the satellites to OneWeb, you know the satellites that are sitting in Kazakhstan that were supposed to be launched in the Soyuz, and then Russia was like, yeah, we’re not doing that anymore because of Western sanctions, etc.
over that whole Special Operation.
Yeah, um, so yeah, apparently they may return those satellites to OneWeb, if they can get all the Soyuz hardware from that they left in Kuru back.
This includes a lot of spare parts for Rockets, because of course, after this whole, uh, like, let’s pool, let’s pool launches from OneWeb, uh, Rogers and of course, very quickly was like, we’re gonna also pull our people out of, uh, our Ariane’s based deal and bring them home, and they packed up quickly enough that they left a lot of stuff behind, and now the new owner of the new, uh, person in charge of Ross Cosmos, realizes that it might be actually good to have that Hardware instead of sitting in the jungle in South America.
Oh, no also, right, the, you know, launch site in French Guiana is it’s a European launch site, technically owned by France, shiny a Chinese Corporation has apparently made or started a deal with the nation of Djibouti to put a Spaceport on the east coast of Africa that would place it closer to the Equator and therefore improve the geostationary, uh, launch capabilities, because the thing about the inclination, should the rotation of the earth helps, but moreover, when you’re trying to put something into geostationary orbit, you have to take out that inclination, so it really helps a lot more for the geostation relaunch, uh, Djibouti is interesting, it’s about 12 degrees north of the equator, where they’d have to put the launch site, we’d put it right close to the entrance to the Red Sea, and there might be some other, you know, reasons why this would be attractive to China, let’s say, it’d be nice for them to go closer to the Equator, but of course, the West Coast, right at the Equator, that’s Somalia, and that’s not really one of those places that’s been, uh, well, um, well organized recently, and south of that, you’ve got Kenya, so yeah, China’s been making a lot of diplomatic moves in Africa, while a lot of Western Nations have been sort of standing by and letting those links happen, um, and this is, you know, a big example of that.
Okay, SpaceX and the National Science Foundation have reached an agreement as regards, uh, their Starlink satellites.
Obviously, there is concern that there may be telescopes which might have their performance impacted by Starlinks.
So, basically to get an agreement to launch the generation to a starlink, the FCC that required that SpaceX, you know, properly work with the National Science Foundation.
So, yeah, they’ve more commitments to make sure that the satellites never get above seventh magnitude.
They’re clearly not being able to do that, uh, for every pass but I think uh, they’re making serious attempts on this front.
But perhaps more interestingly, SpaceX has agreed to take all the starlink satellites off the laser Clearing House list.
This is basically a list of satellites that if they are passing nearby telescope fields of view, the telescopes have to turn off the guide star lasers which means they can’t do you know, aperture correction or yeah you know, atmospheric turbulence correction.
So, by taking them off of this list it means the telescopes can get better visibility and they’re not having to continuously, you know, adjust their observation around it.
Finally, finally we have a comet C2 2022 E3, uh, discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility. This was a comet discovered last year and it’s gonna be visible in the next few days.
Pay attention, it may even be green if you have the right kind of Imaging capability. Best Imaging might occur around February 1st.
It’s right now coming out of the Sun and we are close to a new moon. So, if you look at the right time, the right place, you may well be able to see it. So, go looking for it. | aerospace |

The project was put on hold when Space Shuttle flights were interrupted after the destruction of Orbiter Columbia in February 2003.
The Insect Habitat would enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles. The habitat would have housed eighty-five separate colonies of fruit flies. Each of these was divided into two compartments, separated by a rotating food cartridge. Fruit flies, which have a short life cycle, tend to lay their eggs in their food supply, to provide their offspring with a source of nourishment after hatching. After the eggs were laid, the food cartridge would be rotated, segregating the generations of flies so they could be studied separately. Multigenerartional studies were possible in this way, if each generation was removed from the colony before its offspring's eggs were ready to be segregated.

Manke is seen here in front of the M2-F3 lifting body.
Manke was hired by NASA on May 25, 1962, as a flight research engineer. He was later assigned to the pilot’s office and flew various support aircraft including the F-104, F-5D, F-111 and C-47. The M2-F3 reached a top speed of l,064 mph (Mach 1.6). Highest altitude reached by the vehicle was 7l,500 feet on December 21, 1972, the date of its last flight with Manke at the controls. The information the lifting body program generated contributed to the data base that led to development of the Space Shuttle program. NASA donated the M2-F3 vehicle to the Smithsonian Institution in December 1973 and it currently hangs in the National Air and Space Museum on the Mall in Washington, DC. | aerospace |

The decision not only salvaged the British satellite company’s bid to construct a worldwide broadband internet network in space, but it also signaled India’s aspirations in the industry.
The desire for high-speed internet offered from space has made satellite launch a profitable industry. India is squeezing its way into the highly lucrative space market, capitalizing on China and Russia’s geopolitical isolation to position itself as a trustworthy alternative to SpaceX.
Russia and China, together with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, have been the principal providers of satellite launches due to their long-running state space initiatives.
Nevertheless, as a result of the Ukrainian crisis and China’s concerns with the US, they have become off-limits to many prospective customers. As Russia sabotaged the initial launch last year, taking 36 of OneWeb’s spacecraft prisoner, the company went to India.
Meanwhile, France’s Arianespace has had challenges in making its newest rocket operational. In addition, following a failed launch in January, Virgin Orbit Holdings, the satellite-launch company associated with British billionaire Richard Branson, said this week that it would be ceasing operations indefinitely.
Several satellite operators are avoiding Chinese rockets, partially due to rising fears about Beijing gaining access to Western technology. In contrast, India has drawn closer to the US and other regional players, like Australia and Japan, and its launches are less expensive than those of competitors.
Expanding the space industry is a significant component of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Make in India” strategy, which intends to establish India as a leading destination for technology developments.
NewSpace should assist India in competing on a global scale. NewSpace is speeding up the construction of the LVM3, India’s largest indigenously produced rocket.
In general, India’s industry is poised for rapid expansion. The government relaxed regulations for private sector satellite and rocket businesses in 2020, enabling them to conduct independent space activities. The value of India’s satellite launch services might almost double to $1 billion by 2025.
India is still behind China in many ways when it comes to space technology, but it is slowly and gradually catching up on a global level. Historically, India’s rockets have also had dependability concerns. But if the expert view of India to take over China with a $447 billion space economy is to be taken into account, India is doing well. The country is still a favorite alternative for low-cost launches. | aerospace |

Two major announcements have been made recently from the program. First, China’s second space station, Tiangong 2, was recently successfully launched. Its first inhabitants are expected to arrive within a month. Second, China recently confirmed that its first space station, Tiangong 1, will naturally return to the earth towards the end of 2017. It is expected to mostly burn up in the atmosphere as it descends, but there is uncertainty about whether pieces will remain intact and where they might hit. Scientists do not seem overly worried about it, citing that the chances of debris hitting populated areas of the earth are incredibly small; however, the situation is a good reminder to pray for China as it continues to grow its presence on the international stage.
How to pray:
– Pray for the astronauts who will soon depart for work on Tiangong 2. Pray for their mental and physical health and safety. Pray that they will be able to do good research that will be a blessing to the world. Pray for their families to have peace in their absence.
– Pray for China’s space program to be a source of harmony and bridge building with other nations, not a source of conflict or contentiousness. Pray that China’s work in space will be a blessing to the nations and to China itself.
– Pray against corruption among officials of the space program. Pray for godly leaders to oversee and conduct the program.
– Pray that the glories of the universe would speak loudly of its Creator, producing awe in the hearts of the scientists who work in space which can only be answered by a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Pray for Christians involved in the space program to point others toward the wonders of God, and pray that knowledge and worship of the Creator would have a profound impact on China’s scientific endeavors.

The design of the F404 was based on the YJ101 engine which had been developed for the Northrop YF-17 aircraft. They enlarged the bypass ratio from .20 to .34 to enable higher fuel economy. The engine was designed with a higher priority on reliability than performance. Cost was the main goal in the design of the engine.
The F404 has high resistance to compressor stalls, even at high angles of attack. The reason for this is that it was designed to smooth airflow before it enters the compressor. It requires less than two shop visits per 1,000 flight hours and averages 6,500 hours between in-flight events. The F404 has also shown high responsiveness to control inputs, spooling from idle to full afterburner in 4 seconds. The engine contains an in-flight engine condition monitoring system (IECMS) that monitors for critical malfunctions and keeps track of parts lifetimes.

The organization was created by Jawaharlal Nehru, who was the first Prime Minister of Indian Government. The organization is the space agency for Indian government and has it's headquarter in Bengaluru.
The main objective and vision of the organization is to make adequate use of the space technology for national development while pursuing space science research and planetary. And since the creation of this organization, there have a lot of improvement in Indian Space technology.
The huge success of Indian Space Research Organization can not be talked about without talking about Dr Vikram Sarabhai who was at the helm of the old INCOSPAR before it got changed to ISRO. Dr Vikram Sarabhai saw the needs for the improvement of space technology because of its role in national development. Today, there is no way we can be talking about Space technology without India.
ISRO stands for Indian Space Research Organization. This is an organization that is currently in Bangalore, India. This is known to be the space agency of India. This is situated in Bengaluru which is a city in India. The main goal of this is to make sure that space technology can be used in order to make the nation rise up as a whole.
There are a lot of people who would like to explore space more but they do not have the means to do it. Take note that ISRO is different from NASA because ISRO does not focus on the research of aeronautics. ISRO is more focused on the possibility of Human Space Mission.
Isro stands for the Indian Space Research Organisation, the space research wing that was created in 1969. Recently it has launched a satellite of its own as well as 28 nano satellites of its international customers. The Isro areas where cooperation might be possible also include satellite navigation and sounding rockets. Isro is becoming increasingly significant worldwide. | aerospace |

Thanks to a lead donation from Corning Incorporated and the Corning Incorporated Foundation, Clarkson University’s Clarkson Discovery Challenge-Space (CDC-Space) has been accepted as a participating community in the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) Mission 16 to the International Space Station (ISS).
This exciting STEM project builds upon the strong partnership and rich history of K-12 outreach between Clarkson University and regional school districts. Around 200 students will learn about microgravity experiment design and proposal writing as part of the SSEP. It is expected that 40 to 70 flight experiment proposals will be submitted by Clarkson’s student teams. From those proposals, one of the experiments will be sent into space to be performed on the International Space Station.
Students will work in groups of 4-5 to develop and propose experiments for the International Space Station through the fall. The experiment chosen by SSEP is expected to launch to the ISS in late spring 2022.
“The idea of having a connection with NASA and space exploration has provided our students a highly motivating, engaging, and meaningful opportunity to participate in the process of scientific inquiry. This program has generated extraordinary enthusiasm and inspired boundless creativity; we couldn't have replicated this level of student engagement without the inspiration of SSEP,” said Canton teacher Megan Smith.
“We’re excited to have the opportunity to judge these students’ experiments as well as coach them along the way through our support of Clarkson’s Student Spaceflight Experiments Program,” said Patrick Gilley, Corning Canton plant manager. “The Canton plant has worked on many projects that enable space exploration, including manufacturing the Destiny window on the International Space Station and the optics for the Hubble Telescope, and this project allows us to share our passion with the next generation of scientists and engineers.”
“This project is awesome! Students develop their own investigation about microgravity and write a research proposal to compete against each other to send their experiment into space aboard the International Space Station, America's National Laboratory! We are working with science teachers and middle and high school students from several school districts that include Harrisville, Canton, Brasher Falls, Parishville-Hopkinton and Norwood-Norfolk. Clarkson faculty and students will provide support to the students as experts in STEM. We’ve had some excellent Clarkson Honors students who are a great help” said Dr. Seema Rivera, Associate Director of the Institute for STEM Education at Clarkson University.
“Thanks to this opportunity, Clarkson University, Corning, and local North Country students and teachers are actually participants in the American Space Program. It is an incredible honor and I cannot wait to see what the students propose," said Dr. Katie Kavanagh, Director of the Institute for STEM Education at Clarkson University.
The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program [or SSEP] is a program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in the U.S. and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education internationally. It is enabled through a strategic partnership with Nanoracks LLC, which is working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory.

Hill Air Force Base is an Air Force Materiel Command base located about 30 miles north of Salt Lake City. It is the Air Force’s second largest base by population and geographical size, and is home to many operational and support missions.
The host organization at Hill AFB is the 75th Air Base Wing, which has more than 1,700 facilities that provides installation support for the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center, Air Force active duty 388th and Reserve 419th Fighter Wings and more than 50 mission partners that employ more than 21,000 personnel.
The base also has support responsibility for the operation of the Utah Test and Training Range. Located in Utah’s west desert, the airspace is situated over 2.3 million acres of land and contains the largest block of overland contiguous special-use airspace in the continental United States.

Greetings my name is Rich,
I own U.S Veterans and I am a Veteran. I am making a website to help and inform US Veterans. I have many sites I own so I am a little slow at times. For those of you that have been following me this is my final answer for this website U.S. Veterans! I will be populating and updating it over the next few months as the site grows I hope to open it up more for veterans to log into and help and inform others of their experiences by early 2021.. I hope you find something helpful here and be sure to check back for updates. I have many news sites, you will find the RSS Feeds for those sites on U.S. Veterans. | aerospace |

Check out the article and who is behind it. (A fellow SRI alumnus!). Getting to Mars in a week means getting to the moon, as well as other nearby planets would be quite fast as well. This could be quite revolutionary.

TUSTIN, Calif., Sept. 7, 2007 — An amplified photon thruster that
could potentially shorten the trip to Mars from six months to a week
has reportedly attracted the attention of aerospace agencies and
Young Bae, founder of the Bae Institute in
Tustin, Calif., first demonstrated his photonic laser thruster (PLT),
which he built with off-the-shelf components, in December.
This is an interesting development, but as cool as these high velocity, low mass, space drives sound with such amazing top speeds, the acceleration is extremely slow. This drive produces only 35 µN of force. At that, to get a 1kg craft up to just 360km/hr it would take 33 days! Granted they can do larger versions, but the very nature of these drives means that acceleration will alway be low. Most of the promise is in super long distances flights. Or high precision, low acceleration maneuvers.
