Yves Rossy, also known as “Jetman,” is making appearances at the Experimental Aircraft Association’s AirVenture in Oshkosh.
He flew in his carbon-Kevlar jetwing with four engines for reporters on Monday.
He’s making his first public flight in the US on Tuesday.
“Yves Rossy alone in the air ego, completely ego trip. OK, it’s nice. It’s much better to share, to inspire, to give it back. I am a privileged guy that I can fly like that,” he said of his jet pack.
“It’s just pleasure, fun, it’s total freedom, you have no, almost no limits in the third dimension you know, just up, okay I go,” he added.
He’s able to propel himself through the sky at upward of 190 miles per hour (306 kilometres per hour, controlled by a throttle in his hand.
He can go as high as 12-thousand feet (3658 meters) but prefers to stay around 5-thousand feet (1524 meters) to do formations and manoeuvres.
AirVenture runs from July 29 to August 4 in Oshkosh.
His flights will be part of the air shows during the week.
He will also fly at the Reno Air Races in September. | aerospace |

Geared towards the general public, Soar.Earth presents an online platform that resembles a digital, free-of-charge atlas. Pooling in from crowd-sourced content, including satellite imagery, hobbyist drone photos and environmental remote sensing data, it almost feels like an Instagram for maps and images, where users can store, view and curate their maps and drone images.
Soar’s community-driven platform offers a great opportunity for people to share their map products, currently having hundreds of user-generated maps all over the world on the atlas. By processing and tiling the ECW and GeoTIFF files, Soar allows an efficient display and re-projection into the web application where imagery can be exhibited simply on web browsers. The easiness of creating and presenting imagery would encourage more people to share their work on the internet, without needing to have any professional software.
Gallery for drone photos
After drone pilots have uploaded their drone images, Soar also allows them to monetize their photos once the value is realized. In addition to being a digital atlas, the Soar platform serves as a gallery for drone photos. Instead of letting the drone photos sit idle in the hard-drive, drone enthusiasts are able to generate value from their images and also contribute the global drone community.
View and download near-real time satellite imagery from Sentinel or Landsat for Free
Beyond the collaborative part of the platform, Soar offers users free access to Landsat-8 from NASA and Sentinel-2 from European Space Agency satellites with 30-metre and 10-metre resolution images. While the satellite image from major providers, like Google Earth, remain statics, Soar. Earth jazzes up the satellite content every day. Alongside the 50-centimetre high-resolution images offered by Soar, which is 20-times sharper than the Sentinel-2, satellite feeds allow users to inspect the changes on Earth regularly. It includes events such as hurricanes, wildfires, melting of icecaps and volcanic eruptions. Anyone should be able to explore the planet from above.
In the future, Soar is looking to include additional high-definition imagery from JAXA and NOAA satellites.
Democratizing access to satellite images
Personally, I am fond of the idea of democratizing access to resources such as satellite images, which were traditionally exclusive to large corporations and platforms to display geospatial data, which again did not come free-of-charge normally. Observing the Earth is no longer the privilege of the deep pockets but regular and curious individuals like you and me. Affordable and high-resolution satellite imagery is particularly beneficial to non-profits, schools and universities.

Advances in Astrophysics, and Space and Planetary Science depends on research that is highly international and collaborative and inherently interdisciplinary. The HKU departments of Physics and Earth Science engage in space science research via access to world-leading ground-based and space-based facilities. We are becoming involved in cross-disciplinary research related to developments in space science and technology which together provded the rationale and motivation to establish our Laboratory for Space Research (LSR). Our strategic directions will depend on our success in grasping opportunities in HK, Mainland China and elsewhere.
The rationale for LSR is to further collaboration with China to take advantage of the strongly emerging Chinese space programs and associated ground-based big science initiatives. LSR members already have close relationships with a number of senior and emerging Chinese leaders in this area. This mission fits perfectly into the desire of new VC Prof. Zhang Xiang to place HKU-China collaboration at the centre of HKU’s plans.The LSR is a faculty unit and an interdisciplinary entity funded initially via a major HKU University Development Fund grant. This enabled the hiring of 3 faculty into the centre in the first instance. | aerospace |

"On Wednesday morning, Sultan Taha airport was blanketed by thick haze, which forced the Garuda plane to divert to Sultan Mahmud Badarudin II airport in Palembang, South Sumatra," Alzog explained.
Haze also disturbed the schedules of two flights from Jakarta to Pekanbaru in Riau province on Sunday evening.
The two flights were diverted to Hang Nadim Airport in Batam as haze shrouded Sultan Syarif Kasim II Airport in the Riau provincial capital.
"Garuda flight number GA-178 landed (at Hang Nadim Airport) at 6.08 p.m., and Lion Air flight number JT-294 at 6.10 p.m.," director of integrated one-stop services and public relations of the Batam Management Board (BP Batam) Dwi Djoko Wiwoho stated in Batam on Sunday.
He pointed out that Garuda was a Boeing 737-800NG and the Lion Air plane was a Boeing 737-900ER.
A total of 28 flights at Kualanamu Airport in North Sumatra were also delayed on Sunday due to thick smog covering the airport. (*) | aerospace |

The bulk of space technology items - goods and technical data - that the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is likely to seek from the U.S. are controlled by the latter's export control laws. This is the only area where policy level intervention by the U.S. government is required, not so much in the components of cooperation in space science and applications. Since the conference flowed directly from the joint statement issued by President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in November 2001 that both sides would discuss ways to stimulate bilateral high-technology commerce and civil space cooperation, it was expected that the deliberations would form the basis of inputs to the ongoing discussions under a separate forum, the High Technology Cooperation Group (HTCG) (Frontline, January 2, 2004).
U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce Kenneth I. Juster, ISRO Chairman G. Madhavan Nair and U.S. Ambassador to India David C. Mulford at the inauguration of an ISRO stall at the `Indo-U.S. Conference on Space Science, Applications and Commerce' in Bangalore, on June 22.
The apparent lifting of post-Pokhran sanctions in September 2001 does not mean much to ISRO because its key units are still on the Entities List, as are the key establishments of the other core sectors of atomic energy and defence. The point that is often lost in U.S. officials' statements about the easing of sanctions is that these core sectors are the chief consumers of high-technology and dual-use goods. But these continue to be on the Entities List, which means that an export licence is required for all the controlled goods, including those covered by the Export Administration Regulation (EAR99), but with a presumption of approval only for EAR99 items (basket of low-technology, but controlled, goods which normally do not require an export licence). The only relaxation in the embargoes for these three core sectors is that, as regards EAR99 items, there is no presumption of denial, which was the case earlier. In other words, for real high-tech dual-use goods, it is a presumption of denial for organisations that continue to be on the Entities List.
More important, since March 1999, satellite technology, including ground telemetry and tracking equipment and radiation-hardened devices, and satellite components have been designated as munition items in the U.S. Munitions List (USML) under the U.S. International Trade in Arms Regulation (ITAR) Act. Their export - hitherto under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce - is now controlled by the U.S. State Department. This is tantamount to treating satellite components as items of weaponry rather than merely dual-use items. Many activities that did not require an export licence under the earlier jurisdiction of the Commerce Department, including those involving marketing, now require a licence, technical assistance agreements (TAA) and, in certain cases, monitoring by the U.S. Department of Defence. This results, more often than not, in licence denials. According to ISRO sources, even when approved, the time taken for approvals - which happens after a multi-agency review - is inordinately long.
If there is to be a movement forward on the high-tech trade front, it has to be on these issues. Unfortunately, while there were periodic references to regulatory issues in the plenary session, no specifics were addressed or discussed to arrive at a proper quantitative perspective of the issues concerning U.S. export controls. Instead of merely making general statements, ISRO should have used the opportunity to give concrete data on the nature of regulatory bottlenecks that it has had to face, including hard numbers of denials and the nature and value of items denied. As a result of ISRO's failure, the public perception on the issue will be based on the statement of Kenneth Juster, Under Secretary of Commerce, the U.S. official engaged in the HTCG negotiations with the Indian Foreign Secretary.
In his plenary address, Juster stated that 90 per cent of licence applications were approved during fiscal 2003. Making the point that the export of licensed dual-use goods to India has been rising steadily, he went on to give figures for the first half of 2004 as well. Licence applications for dual-use items during this period, valued at almost $51 million, had already been approved, compared to a total of $57 million for all of last year - an increase of some 80 per cent on an annual basis, he said. In particular, according to him, export approvals for ISRO's demands in the past year and a half increased by over 75 per cent, taking licence approvals to nearly 93 per cent - higher than the overall approval rate of 90 per cent.
But these statistics hide the fact that a large fraction of the approvals would be for EAR99 items - goods that normally do not require a licence - to the entities covered by sanctions, in particular ISRO and its subordinates, a presumption of approval for these with effect from October 1, 2001. Also, the statistics give no information about the number and value of applications to, and denials by, the State Department for satellite technology items that ISRO would be interested in acquiring. But if the true situation with regard to ISRO is not apparent, only ISRO is to be blamed for not making the relevant data public.
THIS is not to say that there has been no progress at all in space technology trade. A significant development is the granting, as mandatory under the ITAR, of TAA by the U.S. Department of State early this year, "authorising Boeing Satellite Systems to engage in discussions and share data with ISRO on the division of responsibilities for possible joint cooperation in the development and marketing of communication satellites". This has been wrongly interpreted by some commentators to mean that Boeing and ISRO are building a satellite for a third party. Boeing has only been given the licence to talk to and exchange specific data and information with ISRO to explore the possibilities of joint fabrication of a satellite. If and when the share of responsibilities is agreed upon, Boeing will have to apply for an export licence for the specific subsystems that it has to integrate with ISRO's subsystems.
Even if the two agencies succeeded in agreeing on the individual contributions questions will arise about who will carry out the integration. If ISRO is to integrate, Boeing will have to apply for additional licences and TAAs for exchange of appropriate system interfacing data and the services (which under the ITAR are termed as defence services) that Boeing will render on the Indian soil. Since Boeing is likely to market the satellite as a Boeing satellite - ISRO would prefer to ride on Boeing's brand value in the international market - it would seem natural for Boeing to do the integration and avoid complex regulatory procedures.
But the most vexing issue relates to the launch of the satellite. Can the collaboratively built satellite be launched on an ISRO launcher? It does not follow naturally. The ITAR states: "Special export controls... are always required... before the export of any article or defence service in this category (XV of USML - Spacecraft Systems and Associated Equipment) for launch in, or by nationals of, a country that is not a member of the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) or a major non-NATO ally of the United States. Such special export controls also may be imposed with respect to any destination as deemed appropriate in furtherance of the security and foreign policy of the United States." In fact, Lee Morin a U.S. State Department official, who was present at the conference, did not give a simple answer. He said that these would be decided on a case-by-case basis. So even if ISRO contributes to the fabrication of the satellite and even if its launch costs are cheaper than Western launch costs by as much as 30 per cent, there is no assurance that the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) or a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) will launch the satellite. HTCG, in its next round of deliberations, may do well to recommend a policy decision that allows ISRO to provide the launch services.
THE reason for Boeing's interest in joining hands with ISRO is simple. The class of satellites that Boeing is now engaged in building are of higher tonnage whereas ISRO is in the business of 2-tonne and 3-tonne class satellites, a segment that does not have a market share that is attractive enough and which Boeing has abandoned. But there is still some demand for the ISRO-class of satellites. ISRO has a proven satellite structure (called a `bus') in the 2-tonne class and is in the process of designing the 3-tonne bus. What matters in a satellite is the payload in which any customer would like to get the best features possible. Boeing has such an advanced payload capability. ISRO will be denied import of the payload systems or its subsystems and components even if it wanted to design and integrate on its own a satellite with advanced features.
ISRO has three satellite buses: I-1K (the new one-tonne METSAT or Kalpana-1 belongs to this class), I-2K (the 2-tonne GSAT series of satellites belong to this class) and I-3K (the new bus on which the 3-tonne INSAT 4A and 4B are being configured). While I-2K is derived from the basic INSAT-2/3 structures, it is somewhat different particularly in its flexibility, modularity and, most importantly, its power capacity. According to ISRO sources, Boeing had originally shown interest in the I-2K bus but having seen the ongoing developments around I-3K, it has evinced interest in the I-3K bus as well. According to Boeing sources, ISRO's buses are the only ones with higher power capacity that can support the advanced features (which need higher power) of the Boeing payload and its transponders.
This may appear to be a win-win situation. But not quite. ISRO only gains by way of an indirect market share which may help it to gain a market share of its own in the longer term. But ISRO does not get access to the advanced technology in the Boeing payload systems. And, most important, the joint development will not automatically enable it to enter the international launch services market despite its low cost. However, success of this endeavour could pave the way for more such arrangements, in particular in the area of earth observation satellites where again ISRO has proven satellite structures. In fact, one of the recommendations of the earth observation sub-panel at the conference was to forge alliances with U.S. agencies and industry for joint fabrication of earth observation satellites.
THE U.S. satellite export policy under the ITAR (Section 121) has some special dispensations for "major non-NATO allies" which, at present, include Argentina, Australia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, New Zealand, South Korea and Pakistan (the most recent inclusion). That is, for members of NATO and major non-NATO allies, there exists a regulatory regime of eased export controls and expeditious licensing of satellite systems, components, accessories and technical data. This regime even allows them to use their own launchers to launch satellites. Of course, these exports are exclusively to specified approved entities and specific approved satellite programmes. In principle, Pakistan can now seek import of satellite systems, sub-systems, components and relevant technical data permitted under the ITAR for some specific space programme and expect the licence to be granted expeditiously. In that sense, theoretically speaking, Pakistan is in a better position than India vis-à-vis access to U.S. satellite technology. However, Pakistan has no major ongoing space programme that would make use of this licensing exception. The question is whether HTCG dialogue can result in a U.S. policy whereby India is accorded the status of a major non-NATO ally as regards satellite technology exports.
Towards the end of the conference an announcement was made regarding the collaboration between ISRO and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the U.S. on the next generation U.S. remote sensing satellite system called National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). The first satellite in this system is expected to be launched in 2009. NPOESS is designed provide rapid - with a maximum delay of 20 minutes - distribution of global and regional environmental imagery, meteorological, climatic, terrestrial, oceanic and solar-geophysical data for use by the international community.
Boeing has shown interest in the basic structure on which GSAT is built.
The ISRO-NOAA effort is intended to support the receipt of high quality data derived from the NPOESS system. NPOESS plans to set up 15 worldwide reception stations located on all seven continents. One of these stations could be in India. NOAA industry partners Northrop Grumman Space Technology and Raytheon Company are under contract to implement the system and they are currently discussing it with ISRO. All indications at the conference were that ISRO has okayed the proposal. There are no export controls for the systems needed to set up the station. But there are other issues.
ISRO Chairman G. Madhavan Nair said: "We are excited about the potential for this collaboration and we recognise the vast scientific value of this programme." However, what additional benefits ISRO will gain by locating an NPOESS receiving station - which will be maintained by U.S. engineers - in India is not clear. The question is whether ISRO will have access to all the data that passes through the Indian hub. This is unlikely because NPOESS is a combined military-civilian remote sensing system. So India may not actually be able to get high resolution (1 m and less) data from the network. Madhavan Nair said that they were "discussing" the issue. But the likelihood of getting access to all the data appears remote. ISRO can probably bargain for both raw and processed civilian remote sensing data free. At least, this much should be possible given all the hype of enhanced Indo-U.S. space cooperation.
On January 12, following the last round of HTCG talks, President Bush announced that the U.S. had embarked upon the Next Steps in the Strategic Partnership Initiative (NSSP). This sets out a vision to expand cooperation in civil nuclear energy, civil space technology and high-technology trade and to "expand dialogue in missile defence."
Given the restrictions emerging from the U.S. non-proliferation policy and the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the first component can at best be limited to cooperation in safety-related issues; certainly there can be no transfer of nuclear technology or equipment. The second component has potential but is again limited by the U.S. regulatory framework with regard to the export of satellite technology (under the ITAR) and launch vehicle technology (under the Missile Technology Control Regime). The former is unilateral and, therefore, can be relaxed if the U.S. decides to do so.
A Boeing Delta II rocket, carrying a replacement satellite for the U.S. Air Force's Global Positioning System (GPS), lifts off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, on June 23, 2004.
The Boeing example, if successful, may set a precedent. Purely in terms of space sciences, satellite navigation networks and participation in each other's space-based astronomy and planetary science programmes, extensive cooperation is possible but that does not need any high level policy intervention - creating appropriate flexible systems for exchange of scientists and funding will be sufficient.
Increase in high-technology trade can occur only to a limited extent. This depends upon how much the U.S. government is willing to relax its export controls, at least as regards those that are not bound by multilateral regimes, and lift sanctions on at least those units on the Entities List which are not directly involved in nuclear weapons and missile development.
Hopefully, the perception gained by the U.S. officials at the end of the Bangalore meeting is positive enough for them to remove ISRO and its subordinate units from the Entities List. At this stage, it is not clear what shape NSSP would take. But removal of ISRO from the Entities List could mark a beginning in the direction.

Throughout World War II, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress operated in every combat zone, but its most important missions were over Europe. The B-17, along with the B-24 Liberator, was the mainstay of the USAAF’s strategic bombing force, which contributed to the victory by destroying Germany’s war industry.
To overcome enemy defenses, the B-17’s design placed a strong emphasis on high-altitude flying, speed, and substantial defensive weaponry. Its cutting-edge turbosupercharged engines let it reach altitudes of up to 30,000 feet while carrying a combat load, and its powered turrets and flexible guns provided coverage all around the aircraft.
Unquestionably, one of the most stable platforms in the air was the B-17, as explained by Brent William Perkins in his book Memphis Belle: Biography of a B-17 Flying Fortress. The photos in this post demonstrate this fact. This 463rd Bomb Group plane was hit squarely beneath the pilot’s feet by what appeared to have been an 88mm shell that entered the aircraft before detonating, as observed from the right waist of an accompanying B-17. The outcomes were painfully clear. With all four of its engines still operating, the fatally damaged B-17 started a level descent. All those in front of the top turret were promptly killed.
The headless bomber was able to stay in loose formation with the Group for some minutes because of the airframe’s inherent stability. Those who survived the explosion from the radio room back were able to safely bail out thanks to the smooth flight attitude.
The crew became staunch and fatalistic as a result of witnessing pals die day after day. For them, completing twenty-five missions was much more than a feat. While many were afraid they wouldn’t live to see that last raid, everyone was looking forward to flying it.
At that point, the odds were simply stacked against the airmen of the Mighty Eighth Air Force. They all understood that they were living on borrowed time following their fifteenth mission. Widespread superstitions led to the attachment of rabbits’ feet, horseshoes, girlfriends’ ribbons, and other things to numerous bombers. A number of them even declined to fly the thirteenth mission, referring to that run simply as mission number 12A.

NASA missed a deadline to provide Congress with an updated budget (containing additional details relating to President Obama's plan for the future of manned spaceflight), so now the oversight panel is insisting that NASA administrator Charles Bolden produce "all materials NASA relied upon in formulating its proposal." Yikes.
Meanwhile, the engineers building the Orion capsule are still in limbo, not knowing whether they'll be building the craft to original specifications, or a stripped-down model for use as a lifeboat from the space station.

At a ceremony at Kamra airbase on February 16, 2017, Pakistan’s Defense Ministry officially received 16 new JF-17 fighter jets. These, according to Radio Pakistan, have entered service with 14-Squadron.
The introduction of these aircraft into service brings Pakistan’s number of JF-17 squadrons to five. To date, over 80 JF-17s have been delivered to the Air Force. The jets delivered to 14-Squadron were all Block IIs.
14-Squadron has removed its F-7s from service, though at least one (F-7P number 716) was visible during the ceremony, providing a contrast between the squadron’s new aircraft and its previous jets.
Samaa TV footage showed Defense Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif enter the cockpit of one of the jets — Block II number 32 — at the ceremony. Earlier this year, images emerged on social media showing that production of the Block II had crossed 30 jets.

The Defense Minister thanked China for its support in the JF-17 program. The two countries jointly produce the aircraft. Later this year, the first two-seat variant, called the JF-17B, will make its first test flight, according to Aviation Week & Space Technology.
In addition to equipping its own Air Force with the JF-17, Pakistan has sought to export the jet abroad. As seen in Nigerian budget documents, Pakistan has sold three JF-17s to Nigeria. Other countries, such as Myanmar, are reportedly in talks to license-build the fighter jet. | aerospace |

ISRO to launch PSLV-C53 will demonstrate using the PS4 platform as a stable speaker around the world
A 25-hour countdown to the launch of the second dedicated Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) business venture by NewSpace India Limited. (NSIL) started Wednesday evening. The PSLV-C53, ISRO’s 55th commercial launch aircraft, will carry three satellites from Singapore.
Three satellites – DS-EO, Singaporean Earth Observation satellite, NeuSAR, Singapore’s first small commercial satellite carrier SAR (Search and Rescue), and SCOOB-I satellite from Nanyang Technological University (NTU ) – will be launched at 6.02 pm Thursday from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Center, SHAR, Sriharikota.
The PSLV-C53, in its 15th campaign, uses the ‘Core Alone’ alternative, and proposes to demonstrate the use of a high-performance car launch platform as a stable scientific loading platform following satellite separation, according to ISRO. The work of the PSLV Orbital Experimental Module (POEM) is designed to conduct scientific experiments within orbit using the PS4V used, the PSLV top class, as an orbital platform and will be the first time that the PS4 platform orbits the ground in a stable platform.
The test module will carry six payloads, including two from the original Indian space, Digantara and Dhruva Space.
The four-stage, 44.4-m-long PSLV-C53 has a peak weight of 228.43 tons and can inject DS-EO, a 365 kg satellite, at a height of 570 km from the equator. The NeuSAR is 155 kg satellite, while the Scoob-1 weighs 2.8 kg. three Singapore satellites on June 30 | aerospace |

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is using a 3D visualization tool to design innovative space probes, including the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover and its Ingenuity helicopter. The same tool can help researchers plan work in space’s complex environment.
The mixed reality, computer aided design (CAD) 3D visualization tool is known as ProtoSpace. It has been crucial to the lab’s collaborative development of spacecraft, says the technical lead for ProtoSpace, Benjamin Nuernberger.
Nuernberger, a mixed reality researcher and developer who guides the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s (JPL’s) related software architecture design and implementation, explains that ProtoSpace allows scientists to see 3D CAD models of the spacecraft through augmented reality. To use ProtoSpace, researchers employ the Microsoft HoloLens, a commercial off-the-shelf mixed reality head-mounted display device combined with the JPL’s augmented reality application to superimpose a 3D digital image into the real world—as opposed to a virtual reality environment that creates an entire digital world.
“ProtoSpace has been used for various stages of the mission life cycle, all the way from the stage where you have an initial CAD design and you want to communicate that design to other people, to the early design stage and trying to figure out the design decisions, then to find the optimal design and to validate those designs, and for planning and troubleshooting,” Nuernberger notes.
“It’s really great because all the different scientists and engineers can collaborate and see this spacecraft spatially, stereoscopically, floating in a conference room, or maybe overlaid onto the actual hardware in a clean room. It allows them to talk about it as if it was physically there.”
In February, NASA deployed Perseverance to Mars for two Earth years to search for signs of ancient life, collect rock and soil samples, demonstrate technology and advance the possibility of human exploration on the planet. In April and May, NASA conducted several successful demonstration flights of Ingenuity, first verifying that powered, controlled flight was even possible on the Red Planet, and later testing how aerial reconnaissance and other tasks could aid in the exploration of Mars. | aerospace |

Iran takes first delivery of S-300 air defense system
Iran has received the first batch of the S-300 air defense system, the Tasnim news agency announced on Monday.
Reportedly, Tehran has purchased the S300-PMU2 model, one of the most advanced models of the S-300 family.
Although Iran has already installed armed eyes and missile sites in upwards of 3700 point across its mainland, the S-300 system makes the country’s air space most costly for flying objects to penetrate into.
Iran paraded parts of the advanced missile battery in Tehran on April 17, ending speculation over Russians’ hesitation to ship the system to Iran.
In May, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan formally confirmed the news, saying Khatam-ol-Anbia Air Defense Base had received the first delivery of S-300.
The sale of the S-300, originally concluded in 2007, was repeatedly delayed due to the Western pressure on Russia.
In 2010, Dmitry Medvedev, then the Russian president, canceled the deal, citing UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.
In addition to the UN arms embargo, the U.S. and Israel heavily lobbied Russia to block the delivery of the system to Iran, saying it could be used to shield Iran's nuclear facilities from possible future air strikes.
Angry by Moscow’s lack of commitment to the pact, Iran sued Russia in the International Court of Arbitration, asking for $950 million of compensation for the contract cancelled by Russia arms export agency Rosoboronexport.
Later in 2015 the two sides buried the hatchet as Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree lifting a ban on the delivery of the S-300 systems to Iran.
Since that time, there were conflicting reports as to when Iran would actually receive the system.
While it is not clear where battalions of the air defender will be installed, it seems security of sensitive locations, including nuclear sites, are a priority. | aerospace |

President Donald Trump has reenergized enthusiasm for NASA and its human space exploration program with his plan to put Americans back on the moon by 2024 but that ambitious timetable is looking increasingly problematic.
First, development of the monster rocket needed to do so, the "Space Launch System", the SLS, is way behind schedule, over budget, and almost not in sight. Development of the new crew capsule, the "Orion", likewise is behind schedule and over budget. There is no lunar lander or "Gateway" moon base plan yet.
Ground systems - Florida's part in all of this - also are well behind schedule, though, ironically, NASA believes the other systems' delays are giving those Kennedy Space Center systems the chance to catch up. And development of even seemingly simple things like new space suits appears to be riding the edge of probability to be ready on time.
Last week in a congressional hearing, Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Posey of Rockledge pressed Kenneth Bowersox, NASA's acting associate administrator for human exploration and operations, for a point-blank answer on the odds that America would meet the 2024 goal. The official gave an unconfident reply.
"I wouldn't bet my oldest child's upcoming birthday present or anything like that," Bowersox told the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics last Wednesday, after some of the pessimistic details emerged from him and two other witnesses.
The ramifications for Florida may be limited to potential delays in returning to the excitement level generated by launches of humans to the moon. Politically, however, confidence may erode in NASA's new moon mission, which is intended to be America's first step in a Mars mission in the 2030s.
The Space Subcommittee members, who include Posey, Democratic U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist of St. Petersburg and Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Waltz of St. Augustine Beach, appeared Wednesday to be strong supporters of the moon program yet growing very nervous about what they were hearing.
Waltz expressed exasperation that NASA seems so plodding in doing something that it had already done, 50 years ago: send people to the moon.
"I think all of us on this committee, and all of us who care about space exploration, are going to continue to make the case, and have continued to make the case, of not why this is worth the funding but why this is taking so much time, and so much effort, with so many delays, and so much money, frankly, to get back to where we were," Waltz said.
This is NASA, which once put men on the moon just eight years after a point in time when it didn't even have a safe rocket to put people into orbit. But this is not your father's NASA, which Bowersox and others conceded during the hearing with some struggle to explain why.
Originally the SLS was supposed to be ready for its first test launch in early 2018. That projection has been bumped repeatedly, and NASA has abandoned its latest goal, mid-2020, without announcing a firm new target. Bowersox told the committee that unofficially NASA is hoping for late 2020, but conceded even that might be ambitious.
The U.S. General Accounting Office projected it might not be possible to do a test launch of the SLS until mid-2021. There are plenty of steps between that test and sending astronauts to the moon.
Meanwhile the cost of developing the SLS has increased 29 percent to more than $8 billion, the GAO reported in June. And that figure will continue to increase with every delay, testified Cristina Chaplain, the GAO's director of contracting and national security acquisitions.
Bowersox defended the 2024 moon landing goal as, while possibly unrealistic now, a good incentive to keep the space agency in an urgent and focused mode to get the moon program up and running as soon as possible. There's no firm reason the next moon landing has to happen by 2024, except the political possibility that it might be important to Trump, who, if he wins reelection, would be leaving office in early 2025.
Yet NASA might be boxed into a schedule that appears to be leading the space agency to cut corners and develop plans that are higher risk, more expensive, and less capable than they might be otherwise, asserted Space Subcommittee witness Doug Cooke, a former NASA associate administrator and now a private contractor.
Cooke is particularly concerned about how astronauts would get from a lunar-orbiting Orion crew capsule to the moon's surface, and back. In the Apollo program, that was done with the legendary Lunar Excursion Module, the LEM.
Something like that will be needed this time, but it will be a new design, which still hasn't been settled. NASA is awaiting $1.5 billion it has asked from Congress to start that planning.
When available, the lander would be delivered early to lunar orbit and parked there, waiting for astronauts to come along and use it.
The problem is, NASA doesn't appear to think the SLS will be available to deliver a lander on time. So the agency now is planning to hire commercial rocket companies likeor Blue Origin to ship the lander to the moon's orbit.
But the private companies' proposed big rockets still wouldn't be big enough to handle a big, broad, stable lander that an SLS could carry. So NASA is scaling back its vision and planning a smaller lander that would have to be carried up in pieces, on multiple launches, and assembled in space before it could be used.
Under questioning by the committee, Bowersox acknowledged that this now is the official plan.
"It doesn't make sense to me," Cooke said, adding it means far more risky maneuvers, a smaller, less-safe lander, and less capability to transport other materials to the lunar surface, including components of the Gateway moon base.
Cooke also contended current NASA moon plans have become dangerously complex. The plans to put people on the moon require so many launches and so many different maneuvers that if NASA's standard of 98 percent success probability for each task is accurate, then that calculates to an overall mission success probability of only 51 percent, he charged.
He also charged that the administration desires to support commercial rocket companies may be at play in decisions to use them instead of the SLS for key mission objectives.
"I think that the pressure to get to commercial capabilities and drive that objective is causing us to do things that are higher risk. And going to this many developments, from scratch by the way, starting now, trying to get to 2024 mission events, the probabilities are that," Cooke said of his 51 percent success probability calculation. "It's illustrative of the complexity that has been bought into, verses a more simplified approach."
"Nobody is driving us," Bowersox said, responding to Cooke's assertion that NASA's decision were being driven by pressures outside the agency. "We actually came to these conclusions on our own. And a big driver is to have flexibility. We want to have multiple options."
NASA could miss a 2024 deadline set by the White House to land humans on the moon. Funding is at the heart of the delay. The Trump administration wants to see NASA land astronauts on the

A UAV is an aircraft that contains sensors, GPS, radio system, servomechanisms and computers, which provide the capability of an autonomous flight without a human pilot in the cockpit.
A stable flight requires sensing the roll, pitch, and yaw angles of aircraft. Roll and pitch angles were ensured by a sensor system of FMA Direct Company called co-pilot flight stabilization system (CPD4), which allows controlling ailerons and elevator manually.
An autopilot is required for steering the aircraft autonomously according the GPS data and the establish waypoints that the airplane have to pass by. The GPS gives heading information to the autopilot, and this uses the information of the next waypoint to decide which direction to go. Hereby an autonomous flight is provided. In this project a lego mindstorm NXT was used as an autopilot that is product of LEGO Company.
The output of the autopilot is used to control the airplane servos to fly in the desired direction. A software and hardware interface was designed to allow the autopilot to receive the data from the co-pilot sensor and to transmit data to the co-pilot processor, which will finally steer the actuator servos. Experiments were performed with different parts of the system and the results reported.

NASA tried a communications experiment with its latest mission to Mars, and it turned out spectacularly well.
On Nov. 26, as the probe known as InSight plummeted through the Martian atmosphere on its way to the planet's surface, two miniature spacecraft — known collectively as MarCO — relayed telemetry from InSight to Earth, assuring all those watching that the landing of the probe was proceeding successfully and was soft.
In the past, spacecraft were only able to transmit back to Earth simple tones during a landing. Those tones would change for major milestones, such as parachute deployment, the firing of landing rockets or touchdown.
This time, as InSight team member Christine Szalai called out altitudes from the control room in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, she was reading off actual data from InSight's onboard radar. It was live play-by-play, bearing in mind that the radio signal from Mars took approximately eight minutes to reach Earth.
The MarCO spacecraft are what are known as cubsesats. These are standardized minispacecraft. The cubesat model first appeared in 1999, as part of a program aimed at making it easier for university students to get projects into space.
The original cubesat was just 4 inches on a side, and weighed less than 3 pounds. Later versions allowed multiples of the original dimensions. The MarCOs are the size of six of the original cubesats stacked together.
NASA initially was interested in cubesats for their educational value, but the space agency has begun to see them as more broadly valuable.
" MarCO was primarily a technology demonstration," explains JPL mission engineer Anne Marinan. "There were brand new components and technologies that we flew for the very first time in deep space."
The MarCO satellites use a new kind of antenna to help a low-powered radio signal reach the Deep Space Network antennas back on Earth. They also rely on a new kind of propulsion system.
Marinan says the new technology hasn't always worked perfectly — one of the thrusters kept leaking, making the spacecraft hard to steer. But "it worked perfectly when it had to," she says.
The MarCOs and InSight left Earth on the same rocket last May. The two minisatellites then trailed close behind InSight on its way to Mars.
Marinan says the success of the MarCO in relaying InSight's signal may help make small, inexpensive satellites a regular partner of planetary landing missions.
After its relay mission was over, the MarCOs sailed past Mars; they'll go into orbit around the sun. Marinan says the research team on Earth will check in on the cubesats from time to time, just to see how long they last.
InSight, on the other hand, is just starting its mission to explore the interior of Mars. It's expected to operate on the Martian surface for about two Earth-years.
Marinan, who only recently earned her Ph.D., says MarCo was her first assignment at JPL. So, what do you do for an encore when your first mission worked so well?
"I am actually putting together another spacecraft," Marinan says. It's another miniature satellite, this time with its own science mission: to study a near-Earth asteroid.

Only 40 minutes after Ian Robert James Morin boarded flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport he allegedly began "yelling and acting erratically" according to authorities. Authorities say that even though the flight crew tried to calm Morin he refused to comply with any of their demands.
Morin then allegedly gives a flight attendant an open hand slap to the throat! He then allegedly tries to hit the flight attendant a second time but pukes before he can make contact! Talk about a nasty fight!
Spokeswoman for Michigan Wayne County Airport, Lisa Gass, confirmed the incident to USA Today via email writing, “On Thursday evening, a Delta flight from Indianapolis to Paris was diverted to Detroit Metropolitan Airport due to a disruptive passenger."
She goes on to write, "Security personnel on board were able to restrain the man until the aircraft landed. The man was taken into custody. The investigation was turned over to the FBI.”
Unfortunately this diversion caused a 14 hour delay to the passengers. I bet those passengers did not expect to be spending the night in Detroit but at least they didn't have to pay for it. Delta apologized to the passengers for any inconvenience. I don't think this guy will be flying anywhere else anytime soon. | aerospace |

According to studies, as a result of several solar storms hitting Earth in 2023, the thermosphere, a part of the upper atmosphere, has been pushed up and become hotter. As these solar storms transfer large amounts of energy, the thermosphere moves upward and warms. Now, the wind reaches satellites in low Earth orbit, causing them trouble.
Wind reaching them means that wind currents, now known as drag, can affect the motion of satellites, especially small ones like the Starlink satellites. The heated air is more likely to be dragged and push the satellites around to move them up to 10 kilometers from their designated positions. This will cause the satellites to collide with each other and damage the instruments.
Solar storms will increase the risk to satellites in 2023
„Blame the Sun. Increased solar activity warms the upper atmosphere. The extra heat has no effect on the weather or climate on Earth’s surface, but it’s a big deal for satellites in low Earth orbit,” said NASA Langley’s Martin Milinchak, according to SpaceWeather.com. Report.
Mlynczak specializes in the SABER instrument on NASA’s TIMED satellite, which he has been using for 20 years. This particular satellite is used to monitor infrared emission from the thermosphere, which has been recorded at a 20-year high.
„There have been five significant geomagnetic storms in the calendar year 2023, resulting in significant increases in the amount of infrared radiation (heat) in the Earth’s thermosphere. They peaked on January 15, February 16, February 27, March 24 and April 24.
With the peak of the solar cycle just around the corner, solar storms are expected that can create conditions for Earth’s low-orbiting satellites.

When the space agency began proposing human missions to Mars, critics slammed it for ignoring a return trip to the nearby Moon. Ted Cruz has publicly flogged it for focusing too much on climate change. Budget hawks have found plenty of reasons to complain as taxpayer dollars get spent on everything from the International Space Station to monkeys sent into orbit.
Now NASA is in the headlines again, for a mission costing nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars to visit a block of ice some 3 billion miles from Earth. The New Horizons probe seemingly has all the markings of a boondoggle: after all, during the course of this nine-plus year journey, Pluto even lost its status as an official planet.
So where are the critics now? Lining up behind it.
“This is a historic milestone in space exploration,” gushed Cruz in a statement sent to POLITICO on Monday.
Scott Pace, a frequent NASA critic at George Washington University, described the mission in an email, approvingly, as “high-priority science in an unknown region.” Even Taxpayers for Common Sense gave the agency a pass: “Our biggest concern with NASA is not the unmanned missions, it is the cost of manned spaceflight,” said Steve Ellis, the government spending watchdog group’s vice president.
You could argue it would be political folly to pile on NASA at its moment of triumph, as the American-launched probe makes its closest pass to Pluto, expected at about 7:50 Tuesday morning EST.
But the reaction to the Pluto mission also gives a clear window into just what kind of project keeps NASA clear of the asteroid hazards of Washington politics. The lengthy mission, launched during the George W. Bush administration, is returning the first-ever detailed images of Pluto and its moons, and in the coming years should deliver potentially more information about the mysterious objects in the Kuiper belt, which orbit beyond the planets.
Relative to human flight, an unmanned science mission like New Horizons is relatively cheap. It’s a patriotic example of American scientific exploration and ingenuity beating out all other competitors. (“With this mission we will have visited every planet and dwarf planet in our solar system, a remarkable accomplishment that no other nation can match,” boasted NASA spokesman David Weaver in an email.)
It's also a mission that has avoided obvious danger zones like repetition (do humans really need to go to the Moon again?), and the politics inherent in projects revolving around lower Earth’s orbit that serve as red meat to Republican climate change skeptics.
And perhaps most important, it’s new enough to seem like cool science, but not novel enough to bother anyone – which makes it just right for Washington.
“The New Horizons mission to Pluto is a cutting
edge scientific mission,” Pace said. He then ticked off past NASA endeavors including
Hubble and Voyager and added, “But from a policy viewpoint it is a very | aerospace |

Crew, US astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin have left the Soyuz capsule and are in good condition after the emergency landing near the city of Zhezkazganin in central Kazakhstan.
The rocket lifted off as scheduled at 2:40 p.m. (0840 GMT; 4:40 a.m. EDT) Thursday from the Russia-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan atop a Soyuz booster rocket.
They were to dock at the orbiting outpost six hours later, but the booster suffered a failure minutes after the launch.
“The launch had a problem with the booster (rocket) a few seconds after the first stage separation and we can confirm now that the crew has started to go into ballistic descent mode,” the voice-over on a NASA livestream from mission control in Houston said.
Video footage from the launch at the Baikonur Cosmodrome shows a large plume of smoke coming from the rocket at the moment it failed and footage from inside the capsule shows the two astronauts being violently shaken.
NASA commentator Brandi Dean in NASA mission control said that while the Soyuz crew would have been “subjected to higher G-forces” during to the ballistic descent, it is a “known mode of descent” that the crew would have been versed in. The crew reported at one point, relayed through a Russian translator, they were weightless as the capsule flew free on its own.
Search and rescue crews have deployed to the Soyuz landing site and are in contact with the two crew members, one America and one Russian, who are in good condition. We await further word from the search and rescue team. Latest updates: https://t.co/mzKW5uDsTi pic.twitter.com/iztvONjyVx

Later, James Frederick Bridenstine, the administrator at NASA confirmed that the crew was in good condition and a thorough investigation into the cause of the mission failure will be conducted.

Under the Soviet Union in 1975, a Soyuz failed to separate between stages and triggered the abort system after the launch. The crew survived.
The failure comes weeks after a hole was discovered in the International Space Station amid talk from the Russian space authorities of deliberate sabotage. | aerospace |

In fact, since the first lesson on basic attitude flying, I managed to fly (or log time in a sim) nine times within a two week period. Paradoxically, the best way to save time and money while pursuing any rating or certificate is to fly as often as your schedule and instructor availability allow for. By building on top of previous lessons quickly, you forget less over time and refine technique without letting the concepts lapse. (In psychology, this is referred to as the Ebbinghaus forgetting curve and is a fundamental topic that is taught to flight and ground instructors. We’ll cover that one at another time…)
The way that Doug has been introducing new instrument flying concepts is layering something new on top of old topics. So, day one was all about basic attitude flying: turns and basic navigation with reference only to the instruments. Then we started introducing wind correction and course tracking — keeping the CDI needle aligned and centered under less-than-perfect conditions (hint: it’s always less than perfect out… especially with IFR weather!).
Once Doug was satisfied enough with my BAI flying and being able to control the airplane with foggles on, it was time to introduce basic procedures. The first procedure we started with were holds and hold entries. The FAA makes a big production out of the proper entry type for holds on the written, but holds are also important in the sense that procedure turns in approaches are basically the same thing as a hold. Holds aren’t terribly difficult in of themselves; unless otherwise stated, a hold has a fix and the legs are supposed to be one minute in length each. The GPS in my plane makes holds incredibly easy to manage, but we still timed each leg one minute using a timer before conducting a standard rate turn 180 degrees. One thing that I need to get better at is tightening up the inbound leg turn so that I’m not overshooting into the nonholding side…
After introducing altitude changes into holds, we reviewed the VOR-A approach into Danielson. My plane has two VORs in addition to the GPS, so it makes for a very capable instrument trainer. I actually like VOR approaches, as I learned how to fly them back when I had a Cessna 172K with only two VOR receivers.
The VOR-A into KLZD is relatively simple on paper, but it’s actually a somewhat challenging approach. You start with a hold at the Putnam VOR no lower than 2600 feet (ie, a procedure turn), and then you turn inbound to the 211 approach course. This point represents your final approach fix and you descend to an MDA of 1120 feet MSL, with obstructions all around. The approach dumps you perpendicular to the runway and your only option for landing is to circle to either 13 or 31. A missed approach has you climb back to 2600 and head back to the Putnam VOR and hold.
We were to fly this approach in my plane, but a thunderstorm popped up right in our flight path before we took off (realities of summer). Thankfully, AirVentures has a basic aviation training device — in other words, a certified computer with a flight simulator program on it. A BATD can be used for up to ten hours of simulated instrument training, so if the weather is too bad for us to go flying, we can still get useful time out the day! I shot the approach into Danielson using the sim and worked on VOR tracking.
Doug had to go on a multi-day trip, so he left me to my own devices for a few days. You need forty hours of simulated instrument time to take the checkride but twenty five of those hours can be accumulated with a safety pilot — in other words, it doesn’t have to be done with an instructor, but it can be done with other private pilots. I have two friends (both commercial pilots and instrument rated) that are happy to provide safety pilot time, and once I had something to work on (ie, the approaches), it was a no-brainer to get them engaged.
Holding altitude, being precise, and demanding excellence
While flying with my friend Bill, we shot two VOR approaches (VOR-A LZD, VOR-B SFZ) and a localizer approach (LOC 05 SFZ) as well as two RNAV approaches into 23 SFZ (ignoring the glideslope and using LNAV minimums). During this time, I got myself down to the MDA, but flew below the MDA a handful of times. The MDA is a minimum descent altitude, meaning that by busting through the altitude assigned to the MDA, I would flunk the checkride. The ACS states the following:
“For the final approach segment, maintain no more than a 3/4-scale deflection of the CDI, maintain airspeed +/- 10 knots, and altitude, if applicable, above MDA, +100/-0 feet, to the Visual Descent Point (VDP) or Missed Approach Point (MAP).”
A side note about a pilot’s certificate being “a license to learn”: it’s critical that as pilots, we demand excellence from ourselves and not be complacent with lax tolerances. In VFR flying, being sloppy with your altitude or heading leads to sloppy performance further into the flight. In IFR flying, sloppy flying will get you violated or worse, careening into terrain or other obstruction. The message here is even if you’re not a professional pilot, strive for professionalism. I’m certainly not perfect at this, nor is any weekend warrior private pilot, but the constant pursuit should be ever present. We owe it to ourselves and to our passengers, and in fact, this is why I am pursuing an instrument rating in the first place.
The biggest takeaway that I have had so far is that the parts that will eat non-proficient instrument pilots alive are the transitions. Takeoff to cruise is a transition, cruise to approach is a transition, and approach to landing is a transition. Each one of these segments has a sudden burst of workload and it’s up to the instrument pilot to manage them appropriately. The biggest and most important task, however, is to maintain positive aircraft control through these transitions. That is why there has been so much emphasis on basic attitude instrument flying, so far. As the time and lessons have progressed, I have been tasked with doing more and more items that an instrument pilot would be expected to do. The “big picture” is starting to come into focus as I become more proficient and comfortable with being a pilot without reference to the ground. Stay tuned for what comes next: flying in the actual clouds… | aerospace |

Using the switches in a novel manner for the feed network, microstrip antennas with polarization diversity are presented. Frequency agility is achieved with the use of tuning diodes to provide capacitive loading to the antenna element. Additional inductance effects from surface- mounted capacitors, and its impact, is introduced. Theoretical cross-polarization of probe-fed antenna elements is presented for both linear and circular polarized microstrip antennas.
A communications satellite is an artificial satellite that relays and amplifies radio telecommunication signals via a transponder ; it creates a communication channel between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on Earth. Communications satellites are used for television , telephone , radio , internet , and military applications. The high frequency radio waves used for telecommunications links travel by line of sight and so are obstructed by the curve of the Earth. The purpose of communications satellites is to relay the signal around the curve of the Earth allowing communication between widely separated geographical points. To avoid signal interference, international organizations have regulations for which frequency ranges or "bands" certain organizations are allowed to use. This allocation of bands minimizes the risk of signal interference. The concept of the geostationary communications satellite was first proposed by Arthur C.

A satellite has to withstand the shock of being accelerated during launch up to the orbital velocity of 28, km 17, miles an hour and a hostile space environment where it can be subject to radiation and extreme temperatures for its projected operational life, which can last up to 20 years. In addition, satellites have to be light, as the cost of launching a satellite is quite expensive and based on weight. To meet these challenges, satellites must be small and made of lightweight and durable materials. They must operate at a very high reliability of more than

Truman on 19 December 1945 came out strongly in support of an air force on a parity with ground and naval forces, reminding Congress that prior to the war independent Army and Navy Departments had often failed to work collectively or in coordination to the best interest of the nation.Many aircraft, particularly transports and trainers, had numerous designations resulting from differences in power plants.An OD wool shirt and cotton khaki trouser combination was also authorized.Eight air divisions served as an additional layer of command and control for the vast organization, capable of acting independently if the need arose.

We’ve been upcoming GE in a zigzag around the map as they’ve opened facilities of a smart factory in Chakan, India to their latest $40 million Center for Additive Technology Advancement in Pittsburgh. As most millions are poured into these new additive making centers, one must wonder what they are researching and planning to create additional, as we read of 3D printed engine components and their plans to assist an entire additive making ecosystem unfold.
Currently we are in the understand regarding the ‘what’s upcoming’ of GE as they announce a upcoming-generation private plane that can showcase an engine with numerous 3D printed parts, as well as contributeing additional power with less gas consumption. The concept for the Cessna Denali was revealed by both GE Aviation and Textron Aviation at the EAA AirVentures Airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin earlier this week, that has been actuallytful. There, visitors were able-bodied to see a mock-up of the plane’s engine create, as well as a physical sample of cabin architecture.
As far as 3D printing is involved, the engine—createed by GE—contributes numerous, hard parts 3D printed in metal with titanium and steel. According to GE Reports, these new parts can replace what in a traditional engine may have amounted to ‘hundreds of individual parts.’
On the other hand this is a tiny turboprop plane, pilots can fly it like it is a jet, enjoying the streamlined create with just one level controlling the engine and propeller. This is possible as GE integrated jet engine advancement into the Denali that showcases what they call a ‘clean sheet’ create. The engine can use 20% less fuel, while attaining 10% additional power in comparison to another plane engine in its class. The create and 3D printed parts obviously can be paying off nicely as the machine is expected to contribute GE $40 billion in ractuallyue inside 25 years, according to Jeff Immelt, GE’s chairman and CEO.
At $4.8 million, the Cessna is on the market-bodied at an entry-level price, with all the showcases and creature comforts of a tiny jet, which include the biggest cabin for a Cessna, seating eight. This new engine is in addition powerful adequate to go of Los Angeles to Chicago or to Miami of New York. Stemming of GE Aviation’s acquisition of Walter Aircraft Engines eight years ago, the new engine create represents that investment coming to fruition, finally. In that time, engineers of both Prague and the US have had their heads down in the R&D department working to create an engine that may be both new and profitable-bodied for GE. This all came together when Textron, with their eyes on the new engine create, revealed that they’d like to use it in the upcoming generation Cessna.
A combination of Walter and GE turboprop advancement, this new create is based on engines that come of a solid foundation with over 20 million hours in flight and service for 30 various planes; yet, with the addition of GE’s jet advancement, actually greater credibility is introduced in terms of hours logged with these types of engines. The just kicker is that no one has at any time utilized this advancement in a turboprop like the Cessna. The createers utilized ‘variable-bodied stator vanes,’ originally created for supersonic jet engines by Gerhard Neumann—a legend in engineering at GE. The create in addition showcases:Gas turbines3D printed parts that debuted in the LEAP jet engineAir cooled turbine bladesIntegrated propulsion system
With the combination of understandledge and advancement of both Walter and GE, this tiny private plane promises high performance, efficiency, and can be able-bodied to extend engine overhaul times significantly at over 30 percent.
And if you are raring to go with the checkbook eager to dispense four or five million, you can go ahead and order your Cessna Denali. You won’t, yet, be seeing it in the air for at very least a couple of years, as the maiden voyage is planned for 2018, according to Michael Thacker, senior vice president of engineering at Textron.
“The order book is open,” says Kriya Shortt, Textron senior vice president for sales and marketing.
This Cessna Denali collaboration marks one additional contribution to the world of aerospace and aviation by GE, and is a additional display of their dedication to 3D printing, contributeing unprecedented improvements and advancement inside their industry. To follow additional updates and for additional information on this new plane, see Textron Aviation. Discuss additional in the 3D Printed Cessna Denali Engine forum over at 3DPB.com.

Collins was the third member of the mission crew who made the history, first trip to the Moon. It has been characterized as "Forgotten astronaut", because he never set foot on the ground of the Moon, but remained in orbit in spacecraft, while his two colleagues - Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin - they wrote history, walking on the Moon. Thus, he did not gain the same worldwide recognition as the other two astronauts.

However, was hailed as a lifelong representative of space exploration: intelligent, witty but also confident, while in a interviewed in 2009 with NASA reported that its histories accomplishments it was "90% luck" and that astronauts should not be praised as heroes.
The Collins's family tweeted from the astronaut's official account, saying the following: "Mike always faced the challenges of life with grace and humility, in the same way he faced this ultimate challenge." In addition, in her announcement, his family hopes that people will remember him "For his ageless spirit, steady sense of duty and the wise look he acquired while traveling around the Earth from space and observing the calm waters while fishing on his boat".
The President of the United States, Joe Biden, said the following: "While Collins may not have had equal glory, he was an equal partner, reminding our nation of the importance of working together to serve and achieve great goals."
But let's look in more detail at some things about the life of Michael Collins
Michael Collins was an astronaut and test pilot. He was born at October 31 1930 in Rome while πατέρας was his lieutenant general James Lawton Collins (1882-1963), who served in US Army for 38 years.
Michael Collins traveled twice in space, The first once with the spaceship Gemini 10 and second as a pilot of the mission control vehicle Apollo 11 (July 20, 1969). While Collins remained in orbit around the Moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon and became the first people to walk on the Moon. Even without ever stepping on its surface, Collins remains one of only 24 people in human history to have traveled to the Moon. There was also the 4th man in history (the third American) to take a "space walk" (off-board activity, EVA) and the first to take more than one.
Although he was the only member of the mission Apollo 11 who did not step on the Moon, always said that he did not feel any bitterness. He even claimed that it was "Very happy to be left alone" in space for 32 hours and humorously commented that "He was one of the few Americans who did not watch the moon, as he did not have a television in the spacecraft".
Following the example of Armstrong and Aldrin, Collins left NASA (1970) very quickly after their triumphant return to Earth. He was appointed Deputy Foreign Minister, in charge of public relations, by the then US President, Richard Nixon, and then took over in charge of the construction of the Washington Aviation Museum, of which he eventually became president (1971-1978).
He also wrote many books about his space adventures.
"My dear Mike, wherever you go, wherever you go, you will always have the flame to skillfully transport us to new heavens and into the future. We will miss you. Rest in Peace", was his farewell message Buzz Aldrin, the last of the historical trinity still alive.
Η NASA for her part stated the following: "Today the nation has lost a true pioneer. Some called him "the loneliest man" in history. While his colleagues were walking on the Moon for the first time, he was helping our nation achieve a critical milestone. " | aerospace |

Unlikely in 1930, when the world learned of the existence of Pluto, someone could believe that someday people will be able to find there their last resting place. However, this can happen very soon. NASA space ship with the remains of Clyde Tombaugh, discoverer of Pluto, had almost reached the destination. The journey of the ship lasts for more than 9 years. Soon NASA promises to publish the first pictures from the distant dwarf planet, the study of which may help answer many questions about the origin of the entire Solar system.
kosmicheskiy the NASA New Horizons spacecraft has begun to explore Pluto. The aircraft approached the icy dwarf so much that this week the staff of the American space Agency promise to show him the first Pictures. The input apparatus into the atmosphere of the dwarf planet is scheduled for July 2015.
Note that the distance to Pluto is 30 times more than from the earth to the Sun, and the spacecraft New Horizons was launched back in early 2006. On his way the machine New Horizons flew past Jupiter and Saturn, in the literal sense, rebounding from their orbits, which gave the ship a significant acceleration. Up to this point most distant mission was considered an American Kosmicheskaya flight of Voyager, which in 1980 had reached Saturn.
“At the moment all information about Pluto, which we have at the moment could fit on the back of a postage stamp, said at a press conference, a NASA spokesman Dr. Colin Hartman. — After this mission we can not write a textbook”.
On Pluto the spacecraft New Horizons will explore the ground layers and the atmosphere, and will map the surface of the celestial body. Besides the scientific equipment aboard the craft is an urn with the remains of the discoverer of Pluto Clyde Tombaugh, the CDs with the names of project participants and a message to aliens, a few American coins, flags and postage stamps. Just on the far frontiers of the Solar system was sent to 9 different facilities.
Note that Pluto was considered a planet only until 2006, when scholars translated it in the category of dwarf planets. However, despite the downgrade in status, many researchers believe that Pluto may play an important role in studying the process of formation of the entire Solar system. Pluto is the largest celestial body in the Kuiper Belt. There could be preserved organic remains from the big Bang, in which more than 5 billion years ago the Solar system was formed. | aerospace |

There is an ancient structure buried deep in Voltaire Crater on Deimos, one of Mars' moons. Sticking up from the structure is the unmistakable outline of a gun. It was built to monitor the solar system and destroy any intelligent life powerful enough to challenge it - but built by whom? A quick calculation of the orbit of Mars indicates that Deimos Crater will once again point at the earth in sixty hours. The final shot - the one that will destroy the earth - will come then. The end-game is at hand. Wyman Ford and a team of scientists must figure out how to destroy the alien doomsday weapon in the next sixty hours. Their only tools are what is already in orbit around Mars - the Orbiter, the Mars lander on the surface, and several smaller satellites orbiting the Red Planet. None of them carry anything remotely resembling a weapon. Sixty hours and counting.

Instead, the 800-lb. solar-powered instrument will be investigating a frontier much closer to home.
The Greenland Rover and Goddard Remotely Operated Vehicle for Exploration and Research, or Grover, will study how snow accumulates on the ice sheet covering most of the world’s largest island.
Using ground-penetrating radar, Grover will autonomously roam around the 2-3 km deep sheet that covers 85 percent of Greenland and collect data on changes in it. “Robots like Grover will give us a new tool for glaciology studies,” said Lora Koenig, a NASA glaciologist and project science advisor, in an agency announcement.
The important information the robot will collect is normally acquired more expensively on radars mounted to aircraft or snowmobiles driven over long days by freezing scientists.
Developed by teams of engineering students, the heavy robot
stands six feet tall with its solar panels. It runs entirely on sunlight. It is undergoing testing now in Greenland through June. Around then, another robot developed by Dartmouth College students will join Grover to extend the scientific mission.

Thermal Protection System Analysis
SpaceWorks Software created an application designed to perform thermal protection system (TPS) material selection, sizing, and optimization. The application is named Sentry, and it offers a unique approach to conceptual design of TPS for reusable space transportation systems.
- Input/Output text files; No GUI
- Wrapped and integrated for use in ModelCenter
Sentry performs a one-dimensional (1-D) unsteady heat transfer analysis with convection, conduction, and radiative effects and an adiabatic backface condition. The tool can examine an unlimited number of candidate TPS materials or "stackups" at each surface node with up to 10 material layers per stackup. For a given vehicle configuration, the tool will then determine the TPS requirements over the entire airframe, including the windward and leeward airframe surfaces, chines, wing(s), tail(s), vertical stabilizer(s), and aerodynamic control surfaces (e.g. body flap, ailerons). As each candidate stackup is evaluated at a particular vehicle surface node, Sentry will optimize the thickness of the scalable insulation material to achieve the minimum weight after factoring in the material properties, temperature limitations, and any manufacturing constraints (as specified by the user). On the vehicle's leading edges (e.g. wing, fuselage nose, etc.), Sentry will determine the stagnation point conditions for a range of representative geometries (e.g. spherical, cylindrical, swept cylinder, etc.) and select an appropriate material based on the surface temperatures experienced. | aerospace |

Why was the 747 discontinued?
The 747 democratized global air travel in the 1970s but fell behind modern twin-engine passenger jets.
In 2016, Boeing said it could end 747 production amid falling orders and pricing pressure.
carriers like United Continental Holdings Inc and Delta Air Lines Inc have already said goodbye to the 747..
Will the Boeing 747 have a future?
Originally, KLM planned to phase out the 747s next year. But due to the current circumstances the airline decided to make the final 747 passenger flight already a few weeks ago. KLM confirmed to InsideFlyer that it does not have the intention to use the passenger 747s in the future.
Which is bigger 747 or a380?
Size: 747-8s are 3.6 meters longer than the A380s. At 72.72 meters long, Airbus A380 is the second longest aircraft in the world. … The latest version of the 747, the 747-8 is the longest airliner in the world. While the 747-8 is longer than the A380, at 79.75 meters, the A380 has a wider wingspan.
What is the oldest 747 still flying?
The oldest 747 still flying ordinary punters is owned by Iran’s Mahan Air. It first flew in 1986 and has been on Mahan’s books since 2007. The majority of BA’s active jumbos are far newer. The oldest, G-BNLY, was delivered in 1993; the newest, G-BYGG, in 1999.
How many 747 crashed?
As of July 2020, a total of 61 Boeing 747 aircraft, or just under 4% of the total number of 747s built, first flown commercially in 1970, have been involved in accidents and incidents resulting in a hull loss, meaning that the aircraft has either been destroyed or has been damaged beyond economical repair.
Is the 747 safe?
The Boeing 747-400 has proved one of the most popular jets for long-haul carriers. The worst accident happened in Taiwan in October 2000 when a Singapore Airlines 747-400 crashed and burned shortly after taking off from Taipei airport, killing 83 of the 179 people on board. …
What is the oldest plane still flying?
The oldest plane in the American Airlines fleet, a 31-year-old MD-80 registered as N424AA, will be flying between Denver and Chicago today. Delta’s oldest aircraft, registration N904DL, is currently flying in and out of Atlanta.
Which is better Airbus or Boeing?
Boeing vs Airbus Safety Records According to Airfleets.net, Airbus has suffered 86 total crashes or accidents between its models – fewer than just the 147 suffered by Boeing’s 737 alone.
What is the 747 being replaced with?
The average age of those planes is 23 years, close to the end of their expected service life. The airline’s capacity is being replaced by Airbus (AIR. France) A350 jets and Boeing (ticker: BA) 787 jets, which are about 25% more fuel efficient than the 747, according to British Airways.
Why is a 747 called a 747?
It was called the 747. Sutter asked Pan Am and other airlines what they would like from the plane. At the time, it was thought that supersonic aircraft would replace the 747. Because of this, Boeing made the 747 so that it could easily be turned into a cargo plane if the passenger version became less popular.
Which is better Airbus a380 or 747?
The Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747-8 are therefore placed in direct competition on long-haul routes. … Boeing claims the 747-8I to be over 10% lighter per seat and have 11% less fuel consumption per passenger, with a trip-cost reduction of 21% and a seat-mile cost reduction of more than 6%, compared to the A380.
Why is the Boeing 747 so popular?
While the supersonic dream was ultimately a commercial failure (for now), the 747 became an icon of industrial design. Along with numerous aerodynamic innovations, it was the first commercial aircraft to incorporate high-bypass turbofan engines like those developed for the C-5. | aerospace |

A pioneering space archaeologist explores artifacts left behind in space and on Earth, from moon dust to Elon Musk's red sports car.
Alice Gorman is a space archaeologist: she examines the artifacts of human encounters with space. These objects, left behind on Earth and in space, can be massive (dead satellites in eternal orbit) or tiny (discarded zip ties around a defunct space antenna). They can be bold (an American flag on the moon) or hopeful (messages from Earth sent into deep space). They raise interesting questions: Why did Elon Musk feel compelled to send a red Tesla into space? What accounts for the multiple rocket-themed playgrounds constructed after the Russians launched Sputnik? Gorman—affectionately known as “Dr Space Junk” —takes readers on a journey through the solar system and beyond, deploying space artifacts, historical explorations, and even the occasional cocktail recipe in search of the ways that we make space meaningful.
Engaging and erudite, Gorman recounts her background as a (nonspace) archaeologist and how she became interested in space artifacts. She shows us her own piece of space junk: a fragment of the fuel tank insulation from Skylab, the NASA spacecraft that crash-landed in Western Australia in 1979. She explains that the conventional view of the space race as “the triumph of the white, male American astronaut” seems inadequate; what really interests her, she says, is how everyday people engage with space. To an archaeologist, objects from the past are significant because they remind us of what we might want to hold on to in the future.
With a light and conversational voice, Alice Gorman delivers piercing insights into the meaning of our various efforts to leave Earth behind, as well as an entertaining primer on how archaeologists work and what they can teach us. This book is a must read for anyone interested in both the past and the future of space exploration.
Emily Lakdawalla, author of The Design and Engineering of Curiosity: How the Mars Rover Does Its Job
Alice Gorman's unique book is far more than a look at the space debris that is orbiting Earth; rather, this mesmerizing tour of human effects on our planetary space and on neighboring worlds will leave readers with a completely new sense of the solar system. Bravo!
David J. Eicher, Editor-in-Chief, Astronomy Magazine
Alice Gorman opens our eyes to the too-recent-to-be-appreciated artifacts of the space age, and points out their import and beauty. From the tens of thousands of macro-size objects orbiting Earth to the landers, rovers and other hardware abandoned on the moon and Mars, Gorman finds poetry and pertinence in the space age. Who knew the archaeology of the future is above our heads?
Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer, Institute Fellow, SETI Institute
Alice Gorman's engaging meditation on the significance we give to space artifacts and space exploration challenges us to think about the cultural value of space junk. This book will be of interest not just to space enthusiasts but to all those fascinated by how humans give meaning to objects around them.
Jonathan McDowell, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics
Dr Space Junk vs The Universe offers some thought-provoking discussions about what and how to preserve our heritage in space.
The Space Review
This is a marvelous book that examines humanity's exploration of space in its full cultural context, as recorded in the artifacts left behind both on Earth and elsewhere. Gorman developed as an archaeologist in the Australian outback, where she studied some of the most ancient artifacts of human culture at the same time that she was constantly stumbling across modern trash associated with the Space Age. With a light and conversational voice, she delivers piercing insights into the meaning of our various efforts to leave Earth behind, as well as an entertaining primer on how archaeologists work and what they can teach us. It's a delightful read and a wonderful example of how enriching it can be to cross academic disciplines.
The Planetary Society
Terrestrial archaeology from space is not really the same as space archaeology, a new subfield of contemporary archaeology that seeks to understand the history and importance of the space industry since the first Sputnik was launched in 1958. Alice Gorman, a Senior Lecturer at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, is a pioneer of this movement and author of the first book on he subject. Eschewing the label of space archaeologist, she's instead taken the moniker Dr. Space Junk for her studies of the various abandoned satellites, space debris, and even human waste floating above our atmosphere. Dr. Space Junk vs the Universe is every bit as quirky and inviting as the title suggests. A series of interlinked essays, it provides the logic, practices, and theory behind the field of space archaeology, with numerous examples of how archaeologists have been able to enhance our knowledge of the history of the space age through their work.
Journal of Eastern Mediterranean Archaeology and Heritage Studies
Gorman's book brings to our attention some of Australia's contributions to the space age and to the junk that's orbiting our planet or has been flung off into space.
TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION
To read these two books is to marvel at what we have achieved in our nascent efforts to inhabit space, and to recognize that we have barely begun that quest…They invite us to think anew about the legacy and the future of space.
Hers is a cautionary tale to the patriarchy and mansplainers everywhere: You cannot keep a highly intelligent and talented woman from changing the world no matter how hard you try, so stop trying.
Writing in a tone that alternates between dry, wry, poetic, and strident, Gorman makes a compelling case for the creation of a cultural heritage management strategy for space junk. | aerospace |

Do you think they put the balloon together themselves?
Aviation has always had a need for ground crew, and hot air balloons have their own special type of crew, called chase crew! Chase crew are as instrumental to ballooning as the pilots themselves. If this piques your interest, join our team, with no prior experience needed. This is a fun and physical job, perfect for early risers who want an outside job that is unique and social with commitment flexibility.
Chase crew help to assemble and inflate the hot air balloons, interacting with passengers to ensure safety and a fun experience. They aid pilots in landing, informing them about wind and terrain conditions, and disassemble and put away the equipment post-flight, ensuring the equipment stays in good working and safe order.
Many hands make light work so the chase crew must be reliable and work well as a team.
Additionally, chase crew assist their crew chiefs to complete daily checklists and any additional activities that present themselves. No two days are the same at Wyoming Balloon Company, which keeps this job interesting and exciting!
We are always on the lookout for additions to join our hot air balloon chase crew!

China had made “astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than U.S. officials realized,” two people told the Financial Times Saturday, with another source adding he or she was unsure how China was able to accomplish it.
The country has tested 79 Long March 2C rockets that carry the missiles so far, according to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology. Five people with knowledge of the launch told the outlet that the missile flew in low orbit before going down toward its target, which it missed by 24 miles.
John Kirby, the press secretary for the Department of Defense, said the United States sees China as the No. 1 “pacing challenge” as the two countries work toward developing hypersonic weapons that travel at five times the speed of sound.
“We have made clear our concerns about the military capabilities China continues to pursue, capabilities that only increase tensions in the region and beyond,” Kirby said.
But a spokesman for China, Liu Pengyu, said China has no global strategy or plans of military operations.
“We are not at all interested in having an arms race with other countries,” Liu said. “In contrast, the U.S. has in recent years been fabricating excuses like ‘the China threat’ to justify its arms expansion and development of hypersonic weapons. This has directly intensified the arms race in this category and severely undermined global strategic stability.”
A hypersonic missile would be slower than a ballistic missile, but the weapon has the maneuverability that ballistic missiles lack, which helps them dodge and become harder for enemies to track.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to the Pentagon for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.

Today Jack told us that astronauts are interested in exploring Mars, the Red Planet. Before they can go there though it's necessary do a lot of practice runs. NASA is getting ready and thinks they will be able to have a manned spaceship on Mars in five to seven years. In the mean time they are experimenting in some pretty funny ways. Most recently, the spaceship Orion orbited the Earth twice and then launched a capsule. The capsule didn't contain humans, but rather some other familiar faces from Sesame Street: Ernie's Rubber Duckie, Oscar's pet worm Slimey, and and one of Cookie Monster's cookies! The capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the Baja Peninsula. Due to the success NASA administrators call it "Day One of the Mars Era." Thanks for the detailed summary Jack! Maybe one day one of us will visit Mars!

We've updated the post below. See Delta's official press release here.
Delta has confirmed it will launch nonstop service between Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) and Seoul-Incheon (ICN) sometime in 2019.
Rumors of the new route to Korea started spreading on aviation forum Airliners.net Tuesday after Delta chief executive Ed Bastian met with MSP employees. Delta sent out official word Wednesday morning that the plans were a go.
The launch date of the route and flight frequency are still unclear – Delta says those details will come at a later date. But the airline will fly one of its retrofitted Boeing 777s on the route, equipped with a great premium economy seat and its fantastic new Delta One suites.
Any new routes out of MSP are always welcome news to the Thrifty Traveler team, which is based here in Minneapolis. This flight to ICN will be just the second non-stop flight from MSP to Asia. Delta currently flies a daily nonstop flight between MSP and Tokyo-Haneda (HND).
Seoul makes sense as the next addition. While it may not be the tourist hot spot that Tokyo is, Seoul is an enormous business hub. And perhaps more importantly, Seoul is in a great position to serve connecting flights throughout Asia. Those will be served through Korean Air, a SkyTeam partner airline that Delta has been building closer connections with this year.
“Travelers can connect to dozens of other cities throughout Southeast Asia through Seoul’s Incheon Airport, providing Twin Cities businesses with easy access to customers and clients in critical growing markets,” Brian Ryks, CEO and executive director of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, said in a press release announcing the new route.
The two airlines finalized a joint venture earlier this year, allowing Delta fliers to earn Medallion Qualifying Miles (MQMs) on Korean Air flights, and vice versa. And the same is true for Korean Air fliers heading to the United States, who can connect onward from MSP.
The Boeing 777 is a big plane – now the largest in Delta's fleet, after the retirement of the Boeing 747s. Keep in mind that Delta flies an Airbus A350 between a far larger hub in Detroit (DTW) and ICN. Delta currently flies the 777 between MSP and HND.
But the fact that Delta will fly one of its reworked 777s on this route is spectacular. From business class to economy, it's one of the best options out there between the big three domestic airlines for long-haul travel.
Mr. TT loves the new Delta One suites, as do others. Delta's new Premium Select product is a great middle offering. And while airlines have continually crammed 10 seats across each row in economy, Delta is sticking with a 3-3-3 configuration on these planes. That will make it the roomiest economy seat to cross the Pacific Ocean among major domestic airlines by far.
Delta also confirmed that the MSP-HND flight will get one of the refurbished planes sometine in 2019.
Just when Delta can get these renovated birds will likely dictate when the MSP-ICN route begins. Stay tuned for updates.
The world is shrinking with new routes like this, and interest in traveling to Asia is only growing. This is a great addition to our home airport, and for Delta fliers as a whole.

Henryk Toczołowski and Józef Wulf, employees of Podlaska Wytwórnia Samolotów designed between 1930-1932 and built in 1933 a small low-wing monoplane sports aircraft inspired by German Klemm airplanes. Test flights proved it had rather poor flying characteristics but was nonethless used until 1935 when it crashed during landing.

WITHOUT A TURBINE ENGINE THIS MODEL IS DOOMED TO SUFFER MORE ACCIDENTS
A Cirrus SR22 piloted by an experienced and well-respected pilot was on approach to Wings Field, Blue Bell Pennsylvania when it suddenly lost power requiring an emergency landing on a golf course.
Both occupants survived though injured. This crash is important because the pilot survived. He will be able to explain his power loss which prevented him from achieving enough power to even maintain level flight. Plenty of fuel, no expense spared for maintenance but yet another two occupants were nearly killed when the powerplant failed.
There have been more than 100 losses of power in this model Cirrus. Many have been killed or injured and while the aircraft has a ballistic recovery system, a parachute that can be used to lower the aircraft to the ground safely, many pilots either cannot or are reluctant to pull that handle because it works only about 80% of the time and destroys the airplane.
The solution for Cirrus is to do away with this unreliable powerplant and develop with partners or buy an off-the-shelf turboprop powerplant which has immense reliability compared to the turbo-normalized piston powerplant it used in this model. Later models used an even more unreliable turbo-charged engine. A turboprop engine is a jet engine attached to a propeller and does not suffer the unreliability issues that piston engines do.
That switch would increase the cost of the aircraft which is now expensive at a million dollars each but each accident costs Cirrus millions to defend and compensate so the cost benefit should be obvious.
The impact on the victims and their families is unspeakable and morally there is no choice but to improve the Cirrus and its safety record.
The Wolk Law Firm has litigated many Cirrus loss of power accidents and while the NTSB will no doubt find nothing to explain this power loss, we recommend looking carefully at the turbo, its bearing and controller, the fuel pump and its controller and whether the exhaust system was functioning as it should just prior to the crash. Absent a catastrophic failure of the crankshaft, a broken rod or a hole burnt into a piston, it is likely the more obtuse causes that explain this sudden loss of power.
Cirrus is now explaining away the accident by claiming that the pilot ran out of gas. Well he didn’t. In fact, he stopped in South Carolina for fuel and was only 3 hours into the flight when the engine lost power, it never quit, it just couldn’t maintain flight. That’s how airplane manufacturers work. After spending the better part of a million dollars with them, they become your adversary when the defects they built in cause a crash.
Kudos to the pilot who successfully made an off-airport landing.

Among them, three U.S. citizens, including Philip Wood.
His brother told CNN yesterday that the family is "just relying on faith."
Matthew McConkey's friends Muktesh Mukherjee and Xiaomo Bai boarded Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on Saturday morning.
Oscar Pistorius remained composed as the focus of his murder trial shifted from forensics back to the athlete's history with guns.
The one-time Olympian was seated next to a green plastic bucket after he was unable to stomach the gory description of his girlfriend's death during yesterday's testimony.
Robyn Curnow is OutFront in Pretoria South Africa.
Four days after the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing, there is still no sign of the plane.
According to a Malaysian air force official, the plane was way off course when it disappeared. It's forced authorities to shift the focus of their search. They're now looking at areas hundreds of miles from the original flight path.
Here's what we know:
-The passenger jet took off from Kuala Lumpur on Saturday at 12:41 am local time heading for Bejing.
-About an hour into the flight, the transponder was either turned off or stopped working.
-The plane changed course, which the Malaysian Air Force says it knows from radar, since the transponder was off.
-At 2:40 a.m. local time, radar lost track of the jet.
-At that moment the plane was off the island of Pulau Perak.
Another significant development: CIA Director John Brennan refusing to rule out terrorism as a possible cause of the plane's disappearance.
OutFront with his take: Jeremy Bash, former Chief of Staff at the Department of Defense and the CIA.
There are more questions in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370.
Officials say the plane was hundreds of miles off course, and its transponder, which signals its location to the ground, was turned off or stopped working just as it changed course.
Tom Foreman has been looking into what might have happened.
A former Boeing 777 pilot, Mark Weiss, gives his take.
The director of the CIA is leaving open the possibility that terrorism may have been why Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, with 227 passengers on board, vanished without a trace.
It is the same belief that quickly followed the explosion of TWA Flight 800 off the coast of New York's Long Island. That crash in July of 1996 killed 230 passengers and crew.
In the days that followed the Flight 800 crash, scores of eyewitnesses came forward, describing what they said was a streak of light moving toward the jet shortly before it burst into flames.
David Mattingly covered the TWA Flight 800 crash extensively for CNN and is OutFront. | aerospace |

The Chicago Tribune reports that the recommendation was made in a paper that was recently filed with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency that’s part of the U.N.
The FAA conducted tests that involved placing a heater against a fully-charged laptop’s lithium-ion battery, causing the battery’s temperature to continually rise. The agency found that overheating batteries and aerosol cans in close proximity to one another can cause fires and explosions in less than a minute — events that could bring down a passenger plane.
“[I]t was concluded that if a [portable electronic device] is packed in a suitcase with an aerosol can and a thermal runaway event occurs, there is the potential for an aerosol can explosion,” the FAA writes. “The explosion itself may or may not be strong enough to structurally damage the aircraft, but in a Class C cargo compartment it will most likely compromise the Halon fire suppression system […]
“The fire suppression system of the aircraft is then compromised, which could lead to the loss of the aircraft.”
Batteries packed with other permitted items such as rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and nail polish remover also caused large fires. These fires can burn up to 1,100 °F (594 °C), close to the melting point of aircraft aluminum, and are responsible for 3 cargo jet crashes and 4 pilot deaths since 2006, the Associated Press says.
As a result of these findings, the FAA is recommending that electronics larger than a smartphone should be banned from checked luggage unless they’re specifically approved by the airline. Other major agencies and companies, including the European Safety Agency (the FAA’s European counterpart) and Airbus, agreed with the recommendation.
The ICAO is responsible for creating global airline safety standards, which may then be adopted by member countries and airlines. This proposed ban will be considered during an ICAO meeting within the next two weeks.
Here’s the full paper and proposal that was submitted by the FAA:
If the ban goes into effect for international flights around the world, it could cause issues for photographers who need to transport large amounts of camera equipment in checked baggage. One possible solution, however, might be to separate your lithium-ion batteries from your cameras and equipment and bring them into the cabin with you in carry-on baggage.
Transporting camera equipment on flights has become much more regulated in recent years due to safety and terrorism concerns. The US temporarily banned cameras in the cabins of planes from a number of Middle Eastern countries earlier this year, and the TSA recently started requiring a separate screening of cameras in security lanes. | aerospace |

Tethys is composed almost completely of water ice and shows a large impact crater that nearly circles the moon. Because this crater did not disrupt the moon, Tethys is hypothesized to be at least partly liquid in its past. Two smaller moons, Telesto and Calypso, orbit Saturn just ahead of and behind Tethys. Giovanni Cassini discovered Tethys in 1684. The Cassini spacecraft is scheduled for a close fly-by of Tethys in September 2005.

The Boeing (NYSE:) 757 made a safe emergency landing in Denver at around 11:35 a.m. on Thursday “after the crew declared an emergency due to a cracked windshield,” the Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson said in a statement.
A Delta spokesperson told Salt Lake City-based CBS affiliate KUTV there had been a “maintenance issue mid-flight” but did not elaborate. Delta did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A person who said he was a passenger on the flight posted a photo of the windshield to Twitter (NYSE:), which showed the glass shattered into tiny fragments but still held in place.
There were 198 people on the plane, according to KUTV, which said the passengers changed planes in Denver and resumed their journey to Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington.
Passenger Rachel Wright told the TV station that someone came on the loudspeaker about 90 minutes into the flight to say the windshield had shattered and they would be landing in Denver in 10 minutes.
“I was sure I had misheard them, but I hadn’t,” Wright said.
(This story has been officially corrected after FAA corrects the time plane landed in Denver to 11:35 a.m. local time instead of p.m. in second paragraph)

Once issued you can fly with or without passengers (subject to currency requirements) and take advantage of the generally smoother and less windy conditions that prevail at night.
Before starting the night rating you will need to have an EASA PPL with a valid single-engine piston (land) rating and a medical with no restrictions regarding flying at night. This course can, however, be completed as the last five hours of your PPL if the time of year is correct. Night flying is available when the hours of darkness coincide with airfield opening hours. This is generally from the end of October until the beginning of March. It is important, therefore, when planning your modular training that this is taken into account.
Whilst there is no official ground school requirement for this rating, your instructor will guide you through the various human performance, air law and technical aspects of flight at night. | aerospace |

The general goal of the project is the characterization of the major satellite channel impairments for future data transmission experiments.
The CubeSat will be deployed and send the signal in low or »near-Earth« orbit (LEO orbit). Although it differs from future operational satellites, which will use the W-band in a geostationary orbit (GEO orbit), the proximity to earth provides significant time and cost advantages in the measurement. Supporting software tools will be used to bridge the gap between the relatively short LEO measurements and the statistical reliability needed for GEO propagation measurements, in particular, an atmospheric channel simulator. | aerospace |

The NFC reader we developed offers the possibility of completely automating the registration of launches at Vereinsflieger.de. Not only are the takeoff and landing times as well as the takeoff and landing locations recorded, as before, but also the name of the pilot, the aircraft’s license plate number and the seating position in the two-seater.
The pilot logs in with an NFC tag before take-off. If another pilot then wants to fly the plane, he logs in and the last pilot is replaced by the current one. With the help of pressure sensors from AMSYS, the dynamic pressure is recorded and the device can recognize when the aircraft has taken off. The license plate, seat position and NFC ID are sent to the server via GPRS either directly after the scan or after the start is recognized. If the transmission via GPRS is not successful, the same information will be sent to the server via SMS. The server can assign the pilot’s name to the NFC ID and first enters the information into a local database. The takeoff and landing time, as well as the takeoff and landing location, are recorded from the OGN and also entered into the database. The entries are transferred from the server to the Vereinsflieger.de start list.
Installing the device is very easy. In addition to the 12V power supply, it is necessary to connect the static pressure and dynamic pressure. In addition, a device, e.g. the radio, can be connected to the NFC reader so that it cannot be switched on until the NFC tag has been recognized. This ensures that the pilots also use the system, which is particularly useful for club use. The small circuit board required to read the NFC tag can be hidden somewhere in the cockpit. If the installation location is marked with the typical NFC symbol, operation is child’s play.
If the NFC tag is recognized correctly, the pilot is informed by an acoustic signal. If an additional optical signal is required, an LED can be connected.
The settings and the import of updates are carried out conveniently via WLAN.
Advantages over other systems:
The system will be tested in the coming season and then offered here in our shop. | aerospace |

Piaggio Aerospace announces that the first Avanti EVO aircraft was delivered in Genoa to a Greek customer for charter operations.
“This is a significant milestone for our company – said the CEO Carlo Logli – as we start delivering the third generation of our Business Aviation turboprop, the only one in its market sector to be completely designed and produced in Italy. We expect 6 deliveries by the end of this year to American, Asian and European customers who have selected one of the most performing, environmentally friendly, elegant and comfortable aircraft available today in the international market”.
The delivered Avanti EVO has Extended Range and Full Optional configuration. It is characterised by the typical “Made in Italy” style. Its interiors comprise VIP seats developed by Iacobucci HF and covered with top class leather by Poltrona Frau. Its refined livery adopts the classical Avanti EVO colours (blue and white) adorned by an outlined red bird painted on the vertical stabilizer.
Third generation of P.180 Avanti, the Avanti EVO increases its performance, efficiency and comfort. Able to carry up to 7 passengers and capable of flying at a maximum cruise speed of 404 Kts, (745 km/h) with a range IFR of 1,770 nm (3,278 km), a climbing rate of 2,770 fpm (844 m/per minute) and can fly up to a service ceiling of 41,000 feet (12,500 m). As regards the Avanti EVO fuel consumption, it is 40% lower than that of jet planes of the same class and makes Avanti EVO one of the most environmentally friendly aircraft in its market segment, with a low level of emissions. A low noise power plant, where the turbines are fitted with counter-rotating 5-blades scimitar propellers, permits a 68% reduction of the community noise making the Avanti EVO a better neighbour. | aerospace |

"We want to get kids interested in STEM careers," Williams said. "The whole idea is to get them better educated. We want to expose them to aviation so they can realize what the opportunities are."
"This can be a life-changer for these children," Cleveland-Leggett said. "There are a multitude of careers that can be generated from this. It can catapult these children into a different life."
Zipporah Ngoy, a middle school resident, easily took to the controls of the aircraft simulator making a final approach to the Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport as part of the demonstration.
"My ambition is to be a pilot," she said. "I've attended aviation camp the last two years, and I'm taking advanced math and science classes."
The Forgotten Heroes Foundation donated a Redbird TD2 Flight Simulator to be used by residents as part of the EnVision Center program. The flight simulator will used by middle and high school students and serves as a valuable resource for the youth in terms of learning to fly and to seek out and work towards learning more about the aviation industry and job opportunities. The Aviation initiative goes hand in hand with the STEM program partnership being developed with WKU along with the curriculum.
"At 360 Cradle to Careers, we have partnered with other centers in this HUD region," Linton said. "This flight simulator is a first in this region in a public housing space. We would like to bring the same idea to other EnVision Centers."
One of the nation's first 18 EnVision Centers established in 2018 by HUD Secretary Ben Carson, the Bowling Green center is now breaking ground as the first center in HUD's southern-based Region IV to utilize a flight simulator as part of its program of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education for middle and high school students.
The EnVision Center offers HUD-assisted families access to support services that can help them achieve self-sufficiency, thereby making scarce federal resources more readily available to a greater number of households currently waiting to receive HUD assistance.
The EnVision Centers are premised on the notion that financial support alone is insufficient to solve the problem of poverty. Intentional and collective efforts across a diverse set of organizations are needed to implement a holistic approach to foster long-lasting self-sufficiency. | aerospace |

The diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser was built to blast a hydrogen fuel pellet with a high-powered beam in order to trigger a fusion reaction – the same process that naturally occurs within the Sun.
The startup realised the same technology could be used to knock a piece of space debris out of orbit without sending lasers up to space.
“The power of a laser for destroying space junk is an order of magnitude lower than for nuclear fusion, but they share technical challenges such as controlling them via special mirrors,” EX-Fusion chief executive Kazuki Matsuo told Nikkei Asia.
The startup has already signed a memorandum of understanding with Australian contractor EOS Space Systems, which tracks space junk from an observatory near Canberra.
Ex-Fusion will initially target small space debris measuring less than 10cm, which has previously been impossible to impact using ground-based lasers.
The beam will be used to slow down the debris until its orbit speed drops enough for it to fall and burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.
There are an estimated 100 trillion pieces of old satellites currently circling the planet, with experts warning that the accumulating debris could damage active satellites, hinder astronomical observations, or even prevent rockets from launching into space.
Last year, aerospace and satellite companies called on governments around the world to adopt a “highway code” to tackle the issue.
The Space Safety Coalition (SSC) said action needed to be taken in order to prevent catastrophe, with 27 signatories urging regulators to implement a rules-of-the-road-style guidebook for satellite operators to adhere to.
An international team of scientists also separately called for a legally-binding treaty to reduce the amount of space debris in Earth’s orbit.
Writing in the journal Science last March, Dr Imogen Napper from the University of Plymouth argued that space junk should be treated in a similar manner to that of plastic pollution in the oceans.
“Taking into consideration what we have learnt from the high seas, we can avoid making the same mistakes and work collectively to prevent a tragedy of the commons in space,” she wrote.
“Without a global agreement, we could find ourselves on a similar path.”

The rover analyzes many of them by itself and collects other stuff in titanium test tubes to send them to the Earth in the future.
A mission called Mars Sample Return is still in the planning stage. Perseverance is expected to hand the samples over to robotic landers, which will place the test tubes in a special capsule in a small rocket. The capsule will move to another spacecraft that will try to get scientific samples from Earth (like to hunt for signs of life on the Red Planet), and investigate the possibility of it for a single day.
There’s a plan for a certain emergency in case a problem arises before the Sample Return robot arrives. The rover drops a pair of random samples, which includes a “fork” in the lake Crater, where special helicopters will then pick up the samples. On December 21st, Perseverance left there the first test tube with a sample of igneous rock, which he collected from South Seytakh on January 31st.
Perseverance received a vial, checked the CacheCam and then threw it 89 cm away. Next, a WATSON camera, equipped with one of the two-meter robotic arms of the rover, checked the slideability and did not roll away.

NASA has announced that the spacecraft it rammed into an asteroid on September 26 has successfully altered the space rock’s orbit around another asteroid – with better-than-expected results.
New images reveal fireworks when NASA spacecraft crashed into an asteroid
Agency officials had estimated that the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft would “bring” the asteroid Dimorphos closer to its partner, Didymos, and cut its orbit time around this rock by 10 to 15 minutes. At a press conference on October 11, the researchers confirmed that DART actually reduced orbit time by about 32 minutes.
Neither asteroid posed a threat to Earth, but the agency tested the maneuver on them to prove that humanity could, in principle, deflect an ominous space rock heading towards the planet.
“This is a watershed moment for planetary defense and a watershed moment for humanity,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said.
Determining whether the mission was successful relied on more than half a dozen telescopes around the world. Ground-based optical telescopes cannot resolve Didymos and Dimorphos, which are millions of miles from Earth and only a few hundred meters in diameter; rather, they see the pair as a single dot in the night sky. But telescopes can measure dips in brightness as Dimorphos passes in front and behind Didymos. Observers tracked these movements and compared them to orbit times before the collision to calculate DART’s impact.
This Spaceship Just Hit An Asteroid In An Attempt To Change Its Trajectory
Independently, a pair of radar installations – the Goldstone Observatory in Fort Irwin, California, and the Green Bank Observatory, West Virginia – pointed their antennas at the pair of asteroids. Unlike optical telescopes, planetary radar can discern the two asteroids as separate objects, allowing astronomers to view their respective positions and estimate Dimorphos’ orbit time around Didymos.
Both sets of observations agreed that the DART impact brought Dimorphos several tens of meters closer to its companion and reduced its cycle time to around 11 hours and 23 minutes.
Although the orbit reduction is larger than expected, it remains within the range of possibilities that scientists have modeled. The researchers believe the maneuver succeeded to the extent that it did because Dimorphos is more of a loose collection of rocks than a solid chunk that would be harder to deflect. Another reason for the dramatic change in orbit is that when DART hit, lots of debris flew out of the asteroid in tails, each several thousand miles long, and their recoil likely accentuated DART’s impact. , researchers said at the press conference.
“We have a lot of work ahead of us in order to really understand what happened,” said Tom Statler, DART program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC.
Save the Earth
Scientists will continue to observe the couplet of asteroids in the coming months, hoping to learn more about the shape of Dimorphos’ new orbit and whether the DART impact has introduced a “wobble” to the planet. ‘asteroid. With the help of images from LICIACube – the Italian Space Agency’s probe that tracked DART and then flew overhead to capture the impact – scientists hope to learn more about the properties of the ejected debris.
Record number of asteroids seen passing Earth in 2020
But the mission’s final postmortem won’t be complete for the better part of a decade. Launched in its wake, the European Space Agency’s Hera mission – currently scheduled for liftoff in October 2024 – is expected to arrive at Dimorphos in 2027, to observe the aftermath of the DART impact.
So far, the results indicate that the US$330 million DART mission was a success. But defending Earth from future impacts requires a few things, the researchers say: knowing the locations and properties of all dangerous space rocks and having enough time to act. DART launched in November last year and took about 10 months to reach its goal.
If a threatening asteroid was really heading for Earth, said Nancy Chabot, a planetary scientist and DART coordinator at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, a mission would have to be launched years in the future. advance to deflect it safely. “Warning is really key here,” she said, adding that even space rocks larger than the 160-meter-wide Dimorphos could be handled with enough planning and time. | aerospace |

Twenty-six members of the 167th Airlift Wing, West Virginia Air National Guard, took part in an Innovative Readiness Training event in East Central Georgia, July 11-18.
A 134-member team comprised of Air Force Reserve, Navy Reserve, Active Air Force, Active Navy and Air National Guard provided medical services to Georgia residents in five underserved communities.
The training event is sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs. It is an Air Force Reserve-led, multi-service/component training event intended to build mutually beneficial partnerships between the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. communities. The mission provides servicemembers with hands-on readiness training opportunities, while providing direct and lasting benefits to residents of each community served.
The event serviced over 3,200 patients, performing more than 4,170 optometry procedures, 5,783 dental procedures, 8,752 medical procedures, 479 nutrition procedures and delivered approximately 1,300 pairs of glasses provided by the Naval Ophthalmic Support and Training Activity.
“We’re really helping a lot of people who really need it,” said Master Sgt. Matthew Stickley, an aerospace medical technician for the 167th Medical Group.
The 167th Medical Group provided optometry, dental, medic, public health, medical administration, nurse, and nutritionist support for the IRT.
Additional support was provided by personnel accountability, food services and public affairs.
“Training was the top priority of the mission, but outcomes of this IRT also included world-class patient care to a population with limited access to medical services,” said Capt. Keith Michael, the 167th Medical Group’s logistics officer.
Michael said the IRT provided a great training platform for members of all ranks and skill sets, by simulating field-like living and operating conditions.
“The 167th MDG personnel were able to accomplish training on medical procedures, patient administration, inventory management, site setup and pack-up procedures and command and control functions not typically available in a home station annual training capacity,” Michael said.
The 167th MDG is looking forward to participating in another IRT in 2020. | aerospace |
