NASA will host a media teleconference at 5:30 p.m. EST today, Tuesday, Jan.19, to discuss the engine test conducted Saturday, Jan. 16, for the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket that will launch the agency’s Artemis I mission.
The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel (ASAP), an advisory committee that reports to NASA and Congress, issued its 2020 annual report Tuesday examining the agency’s safety performance over the past year and highlighting accomplishments, issues, and concerns.
Safety Training, Spacewalk Preps and Eye Checks Keep Crew Busy
Emergency training took precedence aboard the International Space Station today with the Expedition 64 crew reviewing safety procedures and equipment. The orbital residents also had eye checks while gearing up for a busy period of spacewalks.
NASA astronaut Kate Rubins joined her two crewmates from Roscosmos, Commander Sergey Ryzhikov and Flight Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, at midday and practiced emergency escape procedures. The trio trained on a computer for the unlikely event they would have to evacuate the station and quickly undock inside their Soyuz MS-17 crew ship.
During the morning, NASA Flight Engineer Victor Glover inspected fire extinguishers and a variety of personal protective equipment including breathing gear components. The first-time space flyer then spent the rest of Tuesday afternoon servicing life support components inside U.S. spacesuits.
Glover is getting ready for a pair of spacewalks he and Flight Engineer Michael Hopkins of NASA will be conducting on Jan. 27 and Feb. 1. The duo will be setting up European science and communications hardware on the first spacewalk and configuring battery gear and high definition cameras on the second. NASA TV will preview the upcoming spacewalks on Friday beginning at 3 p.m. EST.
Two more spacewalks are planned for February with Rubins and Glover slated for the third spacewalk of 2021 to install new solar arrays. For the fourth spacewalk, Rubins will pair up with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi for more upgrade work on the orbital lab.
Finally at the end of the day, Rubins joined fellow NASA astronaut Shannon Walker for eye checks. The veteran station residents used optical coherence tomography with Walker leading the effort to image Rubins’ retinas to understand microgravity’s impact on eyes and vision.
NASA TV Coverage Set for Upcoming Spacewalks, Preview News Conference
Two NASA astronauts are scheduled to venture outside the International Space Station Wednesday, Jan. 27, and Monday, Feb. 1, for a pair of spacewalks to finish installing a European science platform and complete long-term battery upgrade work. | aerospace |

Helping measuring methane gas concentration for a better understanding of climate change(PresseBox) (Berlin, Germany, )
With a scheduled launch for 2021, the German-French satellite mission is laid out to measure methane gas concentration by means of a LIDAR instrument (LIght Detection And Ranging) sending laser light pulses into the atmosphere and determining the gas concentration by the characteristics of the reflected light.
eagleyard Photonics is now assigned by SpaceTech to deliver the space qualified DFB seed laser diodes at 1064nm and 1645nm for the whole program – as well as for the corresponding qualification campaign. Including particularly the 2nd generation of engineering models in 2017, the qualification models and the flight models in 2018. SpaceTech is the responsible contractor for the frequency-reference-unit of the LIDAR instrument of the entire mission program.
The decision to choose eagleyard as the supplier for the DFB seed laser diodes was based not only on its one-stop product portfolio - offering both required wavelengths of 1064nm and 1645nm simultaneously. But also on eagleyard’s international successful space references - highlighting the successful ESA-GAIA mission as well as the NASA C.A.T.S. (Cloud Aerosol Transmission System) mission, both utilizing eagleyard’s 14-pin butterfly DFB laser diodes. In fact the NASA C.A.T.S mission is already operating a LIDAR instrument on board of the International Space Station (ISS) seeded by an eagleyard laser diode.
Last but not least eagleyard was chosen for the capability of its quality division providing competence and authority to autonomously run a space related Lot Acceptance Test campaign (LAT) fully compliant with their customers’ needs.
Temperature cycle tests, vibrational and shock tests, radiation tests and life time tests are part of a larger variety of harsh environmental test runs.
Its long lasting experience with the successful execution of such LAT campaigns, in conjunction with a careful balance between necessary quality assurance aspects within budget constraints made eagleyard furthermore a contributing member of ESA Photonics Working Group. This body defines and proposes useful guidelines for ESCC standards in order to qualify laser diodes in a meaningful way for space applications.
If you would like to learn more about eagleyard Photonics and its laser diode portfolio and how we can support your application please come and visit us at Laser World of Photonics in Munich from 26 – 29 June. You will find us in Hall B2 at booth #330. | aerospace |

Post on 10-Jan-2017
20 LRO Sees Apollo 11 on the Moon! The LRO satellite recently imaged the Apollo 11 landing area on the surface of the moon. The above (172 pixels wide x 171 pixels high) image shows this area and is 172 meters wide. Problem 1 - Determine the scale of the image in meters per millimeter and meters per pixel? What is the diameter, in meters, of A) the largest crater? B) the smallest crater? Problem 2 - The shadow near the center of the picture was cast by the Lunar Landing Module which is about 3.5 meters tall. Using A) trigonometry, or a B) scaled drawing and a protractor, what was the sun angle at the time of the photograph? Problem 3 - Are there any individual boulders larger than 1 meter across in this area? Space Math http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov 20 Answer Key Problem 1 - Determine the scale of the image in meters per millimeter and meters per pixel? What is the diameter, in meters, of A) the largest crater? B) the smallest crater? Answer: The image is 153 millimeters wide, which corresponds to 172 meters, so the scale is 1.1 meters per millimeter, and the image is 172 pixels wide so the resolution is 172 pixels/153 meters = 1.1 meters/pixel. The largest crater is about 25mm x 30 mm in size, which corresponds to 25mm x 1.1 meters/mm = 28 meters wide, and 30 mm x 1.1 = 33 meters long, for an average size of about 30 meters across. B) The smallest discernable features are about 1 to 2 mm wide, which corresponds to an actual size of about 1-2 pixels or 1 to 2 meters. Note, there can be no actual details smaller than the pixel resolution of the image (1.1 meters). Problem 2 - The shadow near the center of the picture was cast by the Lunar Landing Module which is about 3.5 meters tall. Using A) trigonometry, or a B) scaled drawing and a protractor, what was the sun angle at the time of the photograph? Answer: The length of the shadow from the base of the lander is about 23 millimeters or in actual length, 23 x 1.1 = 25 meters. This makes a right triangle, ABC, with a base length AB= 25 meters and an altitude of AC=3.5 meters and a hypotenuse located along BC, with the right-angle defined as ABC. Method 1: From trigonometry, Tan(theta) = 3.5 meters/25 meters = 0.14 so the angle whose tangent is 0.14 is theta=8.0 degrees. Method 2: A scaled drawing is shown below, and a protractor may be used to measure the angle directly from the diagram. Problem 3 - Are there any individual boulders larger than 1 meter across in this area? Answer: No, because they would have shadows about 7 meters long (1/4 the Apollo 11 module) and there are no such shadows in the image, other than the Apollo-11 Landing Module itself. This area of the moon seems to be boulder-free at a resolution of 1 meter, which is why it was selected by Apollo-11 astronauts for a landing site. Space Math http://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov

A project of General Manager, Michael Veliz, Yolo Ballooning Adventures was developed with the desire to offer a unique and personalized experience that showcases the beauty of Yolo County; Especially from the air! Our staff is invested in making every flight safe and memorable for all of our passengers.
Pilot & GM: Mike Veliz
A life-long Yolo County local! Mike has been captivated by hot air ballooning in California since 2001. At the age of 15 he began working at a local hot air balloon repair station certified by the Federal Aviation Administration. He now runs that very business, California Balloon Repair Inc., performing necessary maintenance and inspections on balloons across the West Coast. As a Commercially Certified hot air balloon pilot, Michael enjoys providing safe, enjoyable and memorable experiences for each of his passengers. His unique beginnings in ballooning give Michael a level of experience and knowledge unmatched in the industry.
Pilot: Ignacio Lopez
Ignacio’s early beginnings in ballooning started in Napa Valley. Starting off as a part-time crew member for two Napa ride businesses. Ignacio joined Yolo Ballooning Adventures team in 2016 as our lead Crew Chief. His love for ballooning lead him to become a Commercially certified balloon pilot himself. Be sure to look to the skies to see him soaring above Yolo County!
We started with one balloon that was a 90,000 cubic foot, two passenger balloon. Since then we have expanded our balloon fleet to three separate balloons ranging from a 105,000 cubic foot 4 passenger basket, up to a 210,000 cubic foot 10 passenger basket. The variety in our balloon sizes allows us to cater to larger groups, as well as smaller groups, while still maintaining the personalized attention our passengers deserve on our balloon flights over Sacramento Valley.
Our state-of-the-art FAA certified hot air balloons are built by Cameron Balloons U.S., in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Considered to be the top U.S. manufacturer of hot air balloons, Cameron designs balloons that not only outperform those of competitors but that are also more durable.

United mentioned Sunday it’s briefly eradicating the plane from service, a day after certainly one of its planes made an emergency touchdown at Denver Worldwide Airport as a result of its proper engine blew apart simply after takeoff. Items of the casing of the engine, a Pratt & Whitney PW4000, rained down on suburban neighborhoods. Not one of the 231 passengers or 10 crew on board was reported harm, and the airplane landed safely, authorities mentioned.
U.S. Federal Aviation Administration Administrator Steve Dickson mentioned in a press release Sunday that based mostly on an preliminary evaluate of security knowledge, inspectors “concluded that the inspection interval should be stepped up for the hole fan blades that are distinctive to this mannequin of engine, used solely on Boeing 777 airplanes.”
The assertion mentioned that would probably imply some planes would be grounded — and Boeing mentioned they should be till the FAA units an inspection regime. Japan, in the meantime, additionally ordered the planes out of service, in response to the monetary newspaper Nikkei, whereas saying that an engine in the identical household suffered bother in December.
Boeing mentioned there have been 69 777s with the Pratt & Whitney 4000-112 engines in service and one other 59 in storage.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not yet disclosed the identities of those involved. The wreckage, described as “highly fragmented,” is scattered across a mountainous area, and it is expected to take several days to assess.
A connection to the owner of the small plane revealed that family members were on board. John Rumpel, 75 years old, who operates the Florida-based business that owned the aircraft, informed the New York Times that his daughter, two-year-old granddaughter, and their nanny were on the plane, along with the pilot. They were returning to East Hampton, New York, from Rumpel’s North Carolina residence. Rumpel, also a pilot, stated that the plane descended at 20,000ft per minute and that no one could have survived the crash at that speed. He expressed hope that those on board did not suffer.
National Transportation Safety Board investigator Adam Gerhardt said that a report containing further details would be released next week. “Everything is on the table until we slowly and methodically remove different components and elements that will be relevant for this safety investigation,” he added. The most delicate evidence will be analysed on-site before the wreckage is transported to Delaware for further examination. Investigators will focus on determining when the pilot became unresponsive and what caused the Cessna 560 Citation V private plane to follow the path it did. A final report on the fatal incident is expected to be released within 12 to 24 months.
The crash has garnered increased attention due to its trajectory over Washington, DC, and some of the nation’s most restricted airspace. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) stated that US F-16 fighter jets were deployed at supersonic speeds to intercept the aircraft, resulting in a loud sonic boom heard in the DC area. “During this event, the Norad aircraft also used flares – which may have been visible to the public – in an attempt to draw attention from the pilot,” the statement explained.
One of the fighter jet pilots who intercepted the erratic plane reported seeing the pilot slumped over. A sonic boom is similar to thunder, occurring when an object travels faster than sound (approximately 750mph or 1,207km/h at sea level), according to the US Air Force. While sonic booms can shatter glass, they are typically harmless to those who hear them. The Cessna crashed in a rural area of Virginia following a rapid, spiralling descent. Military officials, speaking anonymously, said the plane was not shot down and the fighter jets did not cause the crash.
Richard Levy, a retired captain and pilot instructor, told BBC News that the Cessna likely experienced a loss of cabin pressure. Aircraft cabins can depressurise for various reasons, including mechanical malfunctions or pilot errors. In this case, Levy suggested that the cabin may have depressurised gradually and “insidiously” without those on board noticing symptoms of hypoxia—a condition in which the body is deprived of adequate oxygen levels—until it was too late. “They’re unaware of what’s happening, and then they’ve gone beyond the point of rational thinking, consciousness and good vision,” Levy said.
US aviation officials reported that the plane departed from Elizabethton, Tennessee, at 1:14pm local time on Sunday, bound for Long Island, New York. However, flight-tracking data indicates that the pilot made a hairpin turn upon reaching Long Island before embarking on a steady course back towards its starting point, flying over the protected airspace surrounding the US capital. The flight data ends near Montebello, Virginia, around 3:30pm local time, showing the aircraft descending at a high speed.
Levy speculated that the pilot may have realised at some point that the cabin was depressurising and attempted to turn the aircraft around using autopilot. “After that, my assumption is that the pilot then lost consciousness,” he said. US President Joe Biden was briefed on the incident at the time, as he was playing golf at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, where the fighter jets were launched.
The Cessna crash has drawn comparisons to the 1999 Learjet crash that killed professional golfer Payne Stewart and five other passengers. That plane, which also experienced a loss of cabin pressure, flew aimlessly for thousands of miles across the country before crashing in South Dakota, killing everyone on board.

For the next 26 months there will always be at least one American living on the station. STS- 76 also kicks off a series of six Shuttle-Mir missions that will carry a SPACEHAB module in the orbiter payload bay.
Atlantis is scheduled to lift off from Launch Pad 39B at a 51.6-degree-inclination to the equator into an initial 160-nautical mile (184-statute mile/296-kilometer) orbit. As with all the docking flights the launch window is brief, between five and 10 minutes in duration.
The nine-day mission is scheduled to conclude with a landing at the Kennedy Space Center’s Shuttle Landing Facility.
STS-76 Pilot Richard A. Searfoss (Lt.Col., USAF) graduated from the USAF Academy two years after Chilton. Searfoss was serving as a flight instructor at the USAF Test Pilot School when selected to join the astronaut corps in January 1990. He served as pilot on his first Shuttle flight, STS-58 in 1993.
Four mission specialists (MS) are flying on Atlantis. Ronald M. Sega is MS 1. Sega also is a USAF Academy graduate; he has earned two post-graduate degrees and held high-ranking positions in the military, academic and scientific fields. An Air Force Reserve Officer, he became an astronaut in July 1991. His first spaceflight, STS-60 in 1994, also was the first joint U.S./Russian Space Shuttle mission. Sega also has served as NASA’s operations director in Russia, overseeing NASA activities at the cosmonaut training facility in Star City.
MS 2 Michael Richard "Rich" Clifford (Lt. Col., USA, ret.) has flown in space twice before, on STS-53 in 1992 and STS-59 in 1994. He is a West Point graduate who also attended U.S. Army Aviation School. He has earned the ranking of Experimental Test Pilot from the Navy as well as being designated a Master Army Aviator. Clifford began working at Johnson Space Center in July 1987, and was selected as an astronaut three years later.
Both Clifford and MS 3 Linda Godwin will conduct an EVA during STS-76. Godwin began working at NASA in 1980 and became an astronaut six years later. She has both a master’s and a doctorate in physics, and also is an instrument-rated private pilot. Godwin has flown in space twice, on STS-37 and with Chilton and Clifford on STS- 59. She was serving as deputy chief of the astronaut office when assigned to STS-76.
MS 4 Shannon Lucid is a spaceflight veteran who flew on STS 51-G in 1985, STS-34 in 1989, STS-43 in 1991 and STS-58 in 1993. Lucid will become the first American woman to visit Mir when she joins Mir 21 Commander Yuri Onufriyenko and Engineer Yuri Usachev for an approximately four-and-a-half-month stay. Lucid holds a doctoral degree in biochemistry and also is a commercial, instrument and multi-engine rated pilot. She will depart Mir in August, when the STS-79 crew arrives at the station and U.S. astronaut John Blaha takes her place.
Russian logistics: A gyrodyne, batteries, food and water containers, clothing and sleeping articles and a transformer are among the more than 1,900 pounds (862 kilograms) of equipment being flown up for transfer to Mir; also an Individual Equipment and Seat Liner (IESL) kit for use by Shannon Lucid in case of an emergency return to Earth from Mir in a Soyuz capsule.
U.S. logistics: Replacement film and the light and television camera originally located in the Docking Module when it was attached to Mir during STS-74 and a water bag are among the U.S. logistics items being flown.
EVA equipment: The electronic cuff checklist, tools, a 35mm-camera and other items needed to support the planned EVA also are located in the SPACEHAB module. International Space Station Risk Mitigation Experiments (RME): Some of the experiment hardware the crew will install on Mir during their spacewalk is stowed in the SPACEHAB. Also hardware for the Mir Electric Field Characterization (MEFC) experiment, which will be performed during docked operations. The MEFC will collect data on internal and external radio interference in the 400-MHz to 18-GHz frequency range.
Science and technology experiments: The European Space Agency’s Biorack houses some of the investigations planned for the mission. The Biorack is a multipurpose facility that includes two incubators and a glovebox. Among the experiments to be performed are a study of high-energy atomic number charged-particles (HZE) radiation; the study of microgravity on bone loss; the effects of using centrifuges as 1-G references; plant experiments; and a dosimetry experiment to document the radiation environment inside the Biorack facility and other locations inside the SPACEHAB module and middeck.
The Life Sciences Laboratory Equipment Refrigerator/Freezer will carry processed samples from the Biorack as well as urine and saliva samples collected from both the American and Russian crews. They will be analyzed for evidence of accelerated renal stone development and protein metabolism in microgravity. Mir Glovebox Stowage (MGBX) equipment also will be carried up to Mir to replenish hardware for the MGBX already in operation on the station. The hardware includes the Combustion Experiments Parts Box to be used with the Candle Flames in Microgravity Experiment and the Forced Flow Flamespread test, the Passive Accelerometer, the Protein Crystal Growth Experiment, and the Protein Crystal Growth Thermal Enclosure System Ancillary.
The Queen’s University Experiment in Liquid Diffusion (QUELD) will be carried up in the SPACEHAB as a replenishment for the Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM) on Mir. The QUELD is a Canadian experiment which takes advantage of the microgravity environment to study the movement of atoms in liquid state metals.
Hardware for the High Temperature Liquid Phase payload, also known as the Optizone Liquid Phase Sintering Experiment (OLIPSE), will be transferred to Mir. This experiment is designed to study how gravity impacts liquid-phase sintering of silver and copper-based materials. Samples processed on Mir will return to Earth via the Shuttle during Mission STS-79, the fourth Shuttle-Mir docking.
Also flying in the payload bay is a Get Away Special payload, a Naval Research Laboratory experiment that will measure low-energy particle radiation in the inner magnetosphere.
Students in one Russian and six U.S. schools will be able to speak directly with crew members as part of the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment-II (SAREX-II).
Polished Plate Micrometeoroid Debris (PPMD) experiment, designed to expose metal witness plates to the Mir orbital environment in order to identify characteristics of meteoroid and debris impact sites;
Orbital Debris Collector (ODC), to capture hypervelocity particles to characterize their residues;
Passive Optical Samples (POSA) I and II will be used to assess the magnitude of particulate and molecular contamination on materials exposed to the Mir environment. POSA I will be mounted in a location directly viewing Mir while POSA II will be placed on the Docking Module.
The four experiments, collectively referred to as the Mir Environmental Effects Payload (MEEP), will be retrieved during an EVA 18 months later. The data from these experiments should help characterize the space environment at a 51.6-degree inclination, the same inclination at which the International Space Station will be located.
In addition, Godwin and Clifford will be working with common U.S./Russian EVA hardware such as safety tethers and foot restraints. Their EVA also represents one in a series aimed at testing equipment and procedures which may be implemented during assembly and maintenance of the International Space Station and other on-orbit activities such as Hubble Space Telescope servicing.
On Feb. 8 the flight crew participated in the Crew Equipment Interface Test (CEIT), an opportunity which allows them to become familiar with payload hardware. The payload bay doors were closed Feb. 15, followed by rollover to the Vehicle Assembly Building Feb. 19 for mating with the external tank/solid rocket booster assembly and rollout to Pad 39B on Feb. 28. The SPACEHAB module was installed at the pad on Feb. 29.
Atlantis (OV-104) flew for the first time on Mission STS 51-J in October 1985 and STS-76 will be its 16th spaceflight. Of the nine Shuttle-Mir docking flights currently planned, Atlantis is assigned to the first seven. | aerospace |

NASA programs are not merely bigger and more complex projects. A NASA program provides added value to the Agency while supporting its long-term strategic goals. Certainly, the skills a project manager develops by delivering technical solutions within financial and time constraints will be valuable as a program manager. But a successful program manager develops additional skills and habits to become highly effective.

Chapter 19 Continued
When NASA’s astronaut parachuted from the fringes of space in 2013, the force of gravity was close to the same as it is at sea level. When no traces of Earth’s atmospheric gases were found beyond 70 miles above sea level, NASA’s experiment proved Earth’s heavy atmospheric gases are being restricted from rising by the Heliospheric gases (Helium, Lithium and etc.), which are lighter in atomic weight and low in air pressure. These Heliospheric gases were calculated in 2012 from The Voyager 1 space craft data to have a diameter of 11.25 trillion miles extending out from the Sun to the Heliopause. Above 120 miles, atomic oxygen is the principal atmospheric constituent for several hundred miles. However, Helium is even lighter than atomic oxygen, and has smaller-sized atoms, so its concentration falls less rapidly with altitude, and it finally replaces the atomic oxygen as the principal atmospheric constituent above a certain altitude, which varies with the sunspot cycles between 400 and 900 miles.
And at still higher altitudes atomic hydrogen finally displaces helium as the principal constituent. The hydrogen extends many earth radii out into space and constitutes the telluric hydrogen corona, or geocorona. The temperature of the upper atmosphere, and hence its density, varies with the intensity of solar ultraviolet radiation and this, in turn, varies with solar activity in general.
The solar radio noise flux is a convenient index of solar activity since it can be monitored at the earth’s surface. The minimum night-time temperature of the upper atmosphere above 300 kilometres has been expressed in terms of the 27-day average of the solar radio-noise flux at 8-centimeter wavelength. This varies from about 600K near the minimum of the sunspot cycle to about 1,400K near the maximum of the cycle.
The air pressure in between the mesosphere and the ionosphere is 1.5 pounds per square inch, and the higher we go, the lesser the air pressure becomes. Yet the difference in gravitational pull at 50,000 feet is nominally different than it is at sea level.
One of the proven laws of nature is that a gas with high air pressure and heavier atomic weight cannot rise (expand) through a gas with lighter atomic weight and air pressure. Interplanetary gases of mostly Helium exert lesser air pressure than the greater air pressure exerted from Earth’s atmospheric gases of Oxygen and Nitrogen. This is further evidence in nature proving that Earth’s atmospheric air pressure cannot rise past the lighter Heliospheric air pressure and its gases of Helium, Lithium, etc. These hemispheric altitude pressure changes can be felt when we fly or scuba-dive, which always causes us to ‘clear our ears’ to compensate for the greater or lesser outside pressure.
Low-pressure interplanetary gases and smaller atoms of Hydrogen, Lithium, and Helium are surrounding and compressing Earth’s atmospheric gases of nitrogen and oxygen. These low-pressure interplanetary gases of Helium-which are sun-produced completely surround our atmosphere. Heliospheric gases of Helium with smaller atoms, lighter atomic weights, and lower air pressure-are forming a natural ceiling and keeping the Earth’s atmospheric gases from rising through them and from rising above the mesosphere.
The AP theory posits that the Earth’s atmosphere is NOT being held down to Earth by the force of gravity as is presently supposed. Earth’s produced atmospheric gases of Oxygen and Nitrogen exert an air pressure of 14.7 pounds per square inch or 2116.10 pounds per square feet at sea level. Earth’s atmospheric gases of Nitrogen and Oxygen are larger, have an atomic weight and air pressure greater than their surrounding interplanetary gases of Helium and Hydrogen. | aerospace |

- An SA Air Force Oryx helicopter deployed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was flying alone when it came under attack over the weekend.
- The incident happened near Kiwanja, a hotbed for clashes since rebels took control of the town.
- Flight Sergeant Vusi Mabena was killed by the same bullet that hit Major Omolemo Matlapeng in the shoulder.
The flight engineer on a South African Air Force helicopter deployed to the Democratic Republic of the Congo was killed after being hit with a single round, apparently from a sniper rifle.
News24 understands that Flight Sergeant Vusi Mabena was killed in the incident on the Oryx helicopter on Sunday afternoon.
He was sitting behind the pilot in command, Major Omolemo Matlapeng, who was apparently hit in the shoulder by the same bullet.
Co-pilot Captain Mathew Allan managed to fly the Oryx back to Goma, where Matlapeng’s wound was operated on. The incident happened in Kiwanja, some 70km northeast of Goma in the North Kivu province.
Kiwanja has been a hotbed of clashes between the M23 rebels and the Armed Forces of the DRC (FARDC) since October last year when the rebels took control of the town.
A photograph shows the single bullet hole which pierced the window to the right of Matlapeng. News24 understands from sources in the DRC that bullet fragments recovered indicate that the shot was probably from a 7.62-calibre Dragunov sniper rifle. The suspected sniper took position on a ridge where the Oryx, which was in cruise flight and flying low, had crossed.
The Dragunov sniper rifle is manufactured in Russia by the Kalashnikov factory and has been in use since 1963. It is widely used by African armies and rebels alike.
According to South African Air Force sources, Mabena and Matlapeng are from 17 Squadron in Pretoria. Allan is from 15 Squadron in Durban.

The South Africans are part of the United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the DRC (Monusco). It is not clear why the Oryx was flying alone, as crews in conflict areas such as the DRC should always fly in pairs, according to the SA Air Force’s operational guidelines.
A Monusco spokesperson said the helicopter had been flying from Beni to Goma when it was hit.

A medical evacuation was launched from Goma Airport to one of Monusco’s hospitals, where Matlapeng underwent an operation. Mabena was not killed instantly but died before the crew reached Goma.
According to sources, Mabena was one of the SA Air Force’s experienced operational operators and was in Mozambique’s insurgency-hit Cabo Delgado province until late last year. He was there to maintain the two Oryx helicopters deployed as part of the Southern African Development Community’s Mission in Mozambique (Samim).
Captain Mathew Allan
One of his colleagues said the Oryx helicopters had come under fire in the DRC and Mozambique on numerous occasions. The crews were particularly susceptible to small arms ground fire as the helicopters tend to fly low and fast for security reasons, as well as on take-off and landings. The crew members were only protected against ground fire by an armoured plate in their seats.
Fresh clashes in the area north of Kiwanja flared up in January after the M23 rebels were required to withdraw from the territories it occupied under the terms of regional mediation efforts.
The rebels, reportedly supported and armed by Rwanda, earlier announced that they had withdrawn from the towns they occupied but they remained in the area.
Rwanda has denied that it supports the rebels, but the tension between Rwanda and the DRC has continued to intensify after fighter aircraft from the DRC violated Rwandan airspace on three occasions since January. After two of these intrusions, Rwanda issued a warning that it would retaliate if it happened again.
On 24 January, a Sukhoi-25 fighter jet from the DRC again flew over the DRC-Rwandan western border near the town of Kitshanga. Rwanda responded by shooting it down with a missile. Congolese military sources said after spotting the attack, a Sukhoi-25 aircraft triggered its missile defence system to neutralise the shelling.
Meanwhile, Kobus Marais, the DA’s spokesperson on defence, requested Defence Minister Thandi Modise to brief the Joint Standing Committee on Defence on the circumstances surrounding the incident.
He also questioned why the Oryx was flying unaccompanied and whether the South African Rooivalk combat helicopters were still being used to provide armed cover in contested areas.
“If not, we need to know why not. We cannot allow our soldiers to be unnecessarily exposed to dangers on foreign soil if it should have been prevented.” | aerospace |

They said similar engine failures have occurred at least three times in recent years with the same Boeing 777 model, including a United Airlines flight to the islands three years ago.
“You can just imagine if this Denver flight had gotten 1,000 miles off the California coast, there’s a real chance that they wouldn’t have made it back,” said attorney Rick Fried, who has represented a number of passengers and crew members involved in airline accidents over the years.
“If this was the first time and they had no notice, but there is a long history.”
In 2018, Fried said a Honolulu-bound United flight from San Francisco — with the same Boeing 777 model and with the same Pratt & Whitney engine — suffered similar engine failure.
Two months ago, a Japan Airlines flight was forced to turn around after leaving Naha Airport in Okinawa after the blades in one of its engines were damaged.
And in 2015, a British Airways flight was also forced to land due to an uncontained engine failure.
All of these planes were older model Boeing 777s that were equipped with Pratt & Whitney engines, said Fried.
United has grounded this model and has called for further inspection. Boeing has also requested all other airlines to stop flying these planes while authorities investigate these jets.
Along with United, Fried said, Korean Air, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Asiana Airlines fly similar Boeing jets to Hawaii.
Meanwhile, the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into the United incident is focusing on how one of the fan blades on the engine broke off and destroyed the engine.
“A preliminary on-scene examination indicates damage consistent with metal fatigue,” said NTSB Chair Robert Sumwalt.
New photos also show that Saturday’s engine explosion tore a large hole in the airplane’s fuselage shortly after take off.
“It’s pretty horrific and we’re just lucky as heck that this didn’t pop into the cockpit,” said Fried.
Usually when a jet engine fails, it’s due to a design flaw or inadequate maintenance. But in the case of the Pratt & Whitney engines, Fried says both are potential factors.
Fried said the metal shroud around Flight 328’s engine should have been strong enough to contain any explosion but it didn’t in this case.
He added that the blades on the engine aren’t inspected frequently enough to detect minor cracks, which can lead to engine failure.
“Basically Pratt and Whitney did not property train their maintenance personnel and their inspection protocol was inadequate to see these cracks,” said Fried.
In a statement, Pratt & Whitney says it’s working with the NTSB investigation.

Situated on the Dutch-Belgian border, roughly halfway between Rotterdam and Antwerp and bordering Woensdrecht Air Base, this aviation hotspot boasts an attractive strategic location.
The military air base itself has been home to aviation, maintenance and training facilities for some 75 years and home base of Logistics Centre Woensdrecht, the maintenance base of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. An important aerospace maintenance centre itself, Business Park Aviolanda serves both civil as well as military markets and the site is growing into an Aerospace Innovation Hub, building a community and offering an open market place delivering maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services.
Innovative Aerospace Maintenance
Aviolanda Aerospace and its surroundings have all the necessary ingredients to grow into a leading European service centre for both civil as well as military aircraft and helicopters. At present, more than twenty aerospace companies are present, generating around 2,500 jobs. Aviolanda Aerospace is the Dutch one-stop-shop for innovative aerospace maintenance and also a knowledge exchange centre, with innovative field labs for composite repairs and drone development and applications.
Attractive location & capabilities
Important for foreign companies is the attractive location within the Dutch province of Brabant, which offers an excellent living environment, educated workforce and high-tech research network. On the part of military services, the location is building up F-35 sustainment capabilities, both on-base as well as on the business park. Furthermore, helicopter maintenance services are being expanded and a venture into unmanned air systems (“drones”) is now taking off as well.

You might remember our long serving yellow and black Augusta helicopter (ITR), which was sold as it no longer suited the needs of our crew and region. Following that we borrowed an aircraft for around 12 months, before receiving a black & white BK117, IIX, in January 2022.
More recently the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter has undergone another change. This has seen us swapping the black and white IIX with the crew in Tauranga – for a HES, which is also a BK117 – effectively it’s the same aircraft when it comes to operation for our crew.
It’s incredibly beneficial for us to have a BK117, as it’s the same type of helicopter as the rest of the partner fleet (which includes a number of rescue helicopters across the North Island). This means it’s easier for us to interchange pilots or crew when needed and hold group training while also providing more availability for spare parts and overcoming the weight carrying shortcomings of the ITR.
For our crew and community, an important factor is that the yellow HES has a more powerful winch. If you know anything about our region, you will understand why this is more suited to the Taranaki terrain.
Plus, as a very superficial bonus we’re back to yellow – a colour we know and love which better represents Taranaki! | aerospace |

Upon arriving, we were assigned to the 303rd Bomb Group, 359th Bomb squadron, stationed at Molesworth, England. The 303rd Bomb Group was known as the "Hell's Angels" Group.
We flew our first combat mission on November 5, 1944, to Frankfort, Germany. For my first ten missions, I flew with my original crew as navigator for which I was trained. I was then transferred from my original crew to lead crew in the 303rd Bomb Group and was trained to become a GH Special Purpose Navigator. From this point, I flew nineteen more missions as a Lead Crew GH Navigator.
A GH Special Purpose Navigator was trained to use GH Special Radar Equipment that was used for navigation and pinpoint bombing of specified targets, when visual bombing was not possible due to weather conditions.
In the 1st Bombardment Division of the 8th Air Force, at this time, only the 41st Combat Wing, consisting of the 303rd, 379th and 384th Bomb Groups, had lead planes equipped with the GH equipment. Whenever, a GH type mission was scheduled, GH Navigators from these three groups were assigned to the lead crews of the other non-equipped groups of the let Bombardment Division. The 41st Combat Wing also supplied lead aircraft to these groups, which were equipped with the GH equipment.
The mission of January 10, 1945, was my twenty-first mission and, since GH Navigation and bombing, could be utilized on the target at Cologne, Germany, I was assigned to fly with the 381st Bomb Group stationed at Ridgewell, England. Their Tail Insignia was the Triangle L, the 303rd Bomb Group was Triangle C. The 303rd Bomb Group supplied the lead plane for the mission to Cologne, and myself as Lead GH Navigator.
The 8th Air Force dispatched 1,119 heavy bombers to ten primary targets in Germany on January 10, 1945. The 1st Bomb Division launched 458 B-17's, the 2nd Bomb Division 233 B-24's, and the 3rd Bomb Division 428 B-17's.
According to the 8th Air Force records, the 1st Bomb Division, of which we were part, suffered that day -- 16 planes missing-in-action or damaged beyond repair; 140 planes damaged but repairable; 5 crewmen killed in action; 52 missing in action; and 15 wounded in action.
On this mission, our target was the Cologne/Ostheim Airfield. We carried thirty-six l00 pound bombs at an assigned bombing altitude of 25,000 feet. The temperature at the bombing altitude was -50° Centigrade.
As the mission progressed, we crossed the enemy coast over Holland and proceeded to the initial point of the bomb run. During this time, we saw anti-aircraft fire at various points, but it was light and inaccurate. Also on this mission, our group was not intercepted by any enemy fighter planes.
|Front row (L-R): 2nd Lt. Adrian L. Lemon, PFF Navigator; 1st Lt. Robert J. Roush, Pilot; 2nd Lt. Fred L. Crouse, Co-Pilot; 2nd Lt. Stuart G. Newman, Dead Recogning Navigator. Back row (L-R): T/Sgt. Irvin Schlom, Radio Operator; S/Sgt. Richard E. Davis, Right Waist Gunner; S/Sgt William "Pete" C. Sprouse, Tail Gunner; 1st Lt. Earl J. Malerich, Jr., GeeH Navigator; Sgt. Michale Stohazu, Flight Engineer & Top Turret Operator. Missing: 1st Lt. Hugh W. Treadwell, Bombardier - taking picture S/Sgt. Arthur C. Hafner, Left Waist Gunner - traumatic right leg amputation below the knee during this mission.
As we started our bomb run to the target, the weather cleared enough that the GH Navigational and Bombing equipment was not needed and our bombing was done visually by the Bombardier. As we entered the target area, the anti aircraft fire became extremely heavy and very accurate. After we released our bombs and were turning off of the target, we were hit by one direct anti-aircraft burst and several near misses. It soon became apparent that we could not maintain our altitude or cruising speed since our engine's turbo superchargers were damaged, and we were forced to leave the group formation, slowly losing altitude and speed. We further found that part of our oxygen and electrical systems were inoperative, as well as 3/4 of our tail and rudder assembly were shot away.
As we slowly lost altitude, we headed back toward friendly territory. As we crossed the Belgium border, it was obvious that we would have to find a friendly airfield and attempt a crash landing.
As we approached Ghent, we spotted a small airfield that appeared to be a fighter base. Later, it turned out to be manned by elements of the Polish RAF.
Due to the damage to our tail section, it was almost impossible to control the aircraft in making any type of left turns and could not accurately control our rate of descent. Because of these conditions, we had to make three passes over the air field to try and get our rate of descent low enough and approximately lined up with the runway. On our final approach, we over-shot the runway and crash landed in a farm field a short distance from the edge of the air field. In so doing, we plowed up a frozen field of turnips. The people living around the airfield gladly gathered the harvested turnips.
After a quick medical check-up, we were driven to an Air Evacuation Center in Brussels and then flown back to our English bases ten days later.

The European Data Relay Satellite System EDRS was expanded by a new satellite on August 6th 2018: EDRS-C was launched into space with an Ariane 5 rocket from the European Spaceport in Kourou (French Guyana).
Its services complement those of the European communications satellites Alphasat and EDRS-A. The satellite is OHB System AG's second communications satellite and is based on the SmallGEO satellite platform.
"We are pleased to contribute to the European Data Relay Satellite System EDRS with a dedicated satellite. With EDRS-C, we were able to extend the scope of our successfully deployed SmallGEO platform. We would like to thank Airbus Defence and Space for the trust placed in us," says Dr. Stefan Voegt, EDRS-C project manager at industrial prime contractor OHB System AG. "Our satellite meets the high requirements of the laser terminal supplied by TESAT for optical data transmission with high data rate. For this mission, we have expanded our modular TM/TC subsystem to include S- and Ka-band operation. In addition, encryption electronics ensure secure data transmission. We would like to thank our partners and suppliers for the good and successful cooperation".
The Thuringian space company Jena-Optronik GmbH was entrusted with the delivery of its successful ASTRO APS star sensors for the satellite's attitude and orbit control system (AOCS). OHB Sweden was responsible for the AOCS subsystem and as such was a direct customer of the Jena-based company.
"We were delighted to be able to continue our cooperation with the OHB team from the predecessor project SmallGEO. Successful space projects are created on the basis of a cooperative and trustful working atmosphere, the committed and goal-oriented approach of all participants coupled with a passion for the fascination of space travel," Sabine Ludwig, project manager at Jena-Optronik GmbH, explains. "When all this comes together - as in the case of EDRS-C - innovations from outer space can be jointly created for Earth."

There are many reasons to be concerned about the development of space weapon and related missile defense technology, including the vast waste of resources that accompanies any arms build-up and the physical results of fighting in outer space. The two leading nations – Russia and China – have a history of raising the issue to tackle the threat. It’s not just words and calls but a concrete and comprehensive international initiative they are coming up with to add to the UN agenda.
Speaking at the United Nations on October 17, 2013 Mikhail Ulyanov, director of the Department for Security Affairs and Disarmament at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, informed the audience that Russia and China decided to submit a draft resolution on transparency and trust in space activities to be reviewed by the United Nations. The diplomat emphasized that the reason for coming up with the initiative was «a lack of legal obligations prohibiting the placement of weapons in space is a factor that is negatively affecting strategic stability and preventing the establishment of new treaties on nuclear weapons». The draft treaty is to rectify the situation and fill the gap on the agenda of the Geneva Conference on PAROS (the prevention of an arms race in outer space).
Space and the problem of its weaponization
The history of space weaponization goes back to the late 1950s, when first antisatellite systems went through tests. As yet, however, weapons have not been stationed in space. Nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction are banned from space under the 1967 Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, which is usually called the Outer Space Treaty. The treaty barred signatories from launching into Earth’s orbit any nuclear weapons or any other types of weapons of mass destruction, as well as banned the installation of such weapons on celestial bodies and the use of any other method to put such weapons in space. But the Outer Space Treaty mentions no restriction on conventional weapons in space.
SALT I, the first Soviet-American treaty on limiting strategic arms, included a mutual obligation not to attack spacecraft. But in 1983 U.S. President Ronald Reagan turned the tide by promoting the Strategic Defense Initiative that envisaged placing in space strike weapons to hit Soviet strategic missiles in flight. In 2002 President Bush Jr. abandoned the ABM treaty of 1972 which limited missile defense systems. It became obvious that the United States was ready to return to developing potential space strike systems, like, for instance, lasers, kinetic and particle beam systems. Many elements of the US missile defense system currently being developed or planned possess dual-use characteristics and could become space weapons. Missile defense allows countries to develop offensive technologies under the pretense of defense. For example, Kinetic Energy Interceptors deployed in California and Alaska are launched into space to smash incoming missiles which presupposes the capability to destroy satellites as well…
The UN resolutions and discussions show that there is a general agreement that placing weapons in outer space should be prevented. The overwhelming majority of UN member states is concerned that the weaponization of this domain will spark arms race and insist that a multilateral treaty is the only way to prevent such a development of events. It is emphasized that a treaty would not limit space access, but rather prevent such limitations. In 2006, Russia argued that if all states observe a prohibition on space weaponization, there will be no race. Russia and China also support establishing an obligation of no use or threat of use of force against space objects and have submitted a draft treaty to the UN on preventing the placement of weapons in outer space.
However, due to the structure of the international legal regime and to the objection of a small number of states, like the USA, for instance, a treaty has not yet been negotiated to comprehensively prevent the deployment of space-based weapons.
On 12 February 2008, Russia's Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, addressed the Conference and presented the Russia’s draft Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, the Threat or Use of Force against Outer Space Objects (PPWT) backed by China. It was the first draft treaty on this issue formally introduced to the UN Conference on Disarmament. Before that China and Russia had presented several «working papers» on preventing an arms race in outer space and the draft treaty refined elements from previous joint documents. Back then Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the treaty was designed «to eliminate existing lacunas in international space law, create conditions for further exploration and use of space, preserve costly space property, and strengthen general security and arms control». The Russia-China initiative in 2008 never came to anything in concrete terms opposed by the United States. Then acting U.S. deputy assistant secretary for threat reduction export controls and negotiations Donald Mahley said, «Additional binding arms control agreements are simply not a viable tool for enhancing the long-term space security interests of the United States or its allies».
US space policy trends
In July 2010, the Obama administration released the document called the US National Space Policy. It states that America shall pursue bilateral and multilateral transparency and confidence-building measures to encourage responsible action in, and the peaceful uses of, space. While claiming that it is open to considering space-related arms control initiatives, the US argues that such proposals must meet the «rigorous criteria of equitability, effective verifiability, and enhance the national security interests of the US and its allies». The Russian-Chinese joint draft treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space (PPWT), put forward on 2008, did not meet these criteria. The United States systematically argues that an arms race in outer space does not yet exist, and it is therefore unnecessary to take action on the issue. The rest of the international community agrees that, because there is not yet an arms race, now is the time to prevent weaponization of space. At that the United States does not come up with any initiatives of its own. The US military continues to invest in programs that could provide space-based weapons capabilities. It presents major opportunities to companies interested in profitable business while the dominance of outer space leads to further profits in conventional warfare. Superiority in conventional warfare relies on military assets in space, especially satellites, which are used for intelligence, remote sensing, navigation, and monitoring, among other things. Since the US currently asserts its political will through force, protection of its own space assets and posing threat to those that belong to other countries is key to guaranteeing US dominance.
On December 11, 2012 the Orbital Test Vehicle Boeing X-37B – the first US unmanned vehicle to return from space and land on its own – went through its third test flight. It was birthed by NASA in 1999 to be shifted to the military in 2004. The X-37B, an unmanned robotic reusable vertical take-off, horizontal landing spacecraft, can re-enter Earth's atmosphere and land autonomously. The robot can even adjust its course in space instead of following the same predictable orbit once it's aloft. The spacecraft's orbital endurance is enabled by its solar array, which generates power after deploying from its payload bay making it remain in orbit up to 270 days. The X-37B is about 29 feet (8.8 meters) long and 15 feet (4.5 m) wide, with a payload bay about the size of a pickup truck bed. Two X-37B vehicles could fit inside the payload bay of a space shuttle. The specific identity of the payload has not been revealed. There are different versions of what the spacecraft is supposed to do while circling the planet at declared orbits varying from 200 to 750 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. The initial idea was that the spacecraft is a new type of a surveillance satellite that can change orbits to fly above the desired territory on Earth. This version is substantiated by the fact that the craft flew over Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, North Korea and Pakistan and changed orbits not once. It's almost certainly a spy plane, or, at least, a testbed for space surveillance gear and a launch platform for miniature spy satellites. It was also called a testing model for a future «space bomber» that will be able to destroy targets from the orbit. Some question whether the X-37B itself might be a delivery system for a nuclear bomb while others suggest that the X-37B is a satellite-tracker or a satellite-killer. It could be both.
* * *
The weaponization of space will undermine international security, disrupt existing arms control instruments and entail a string of negative effects (things like space debris). It may spark a devastating arms race distracting resources from the real problems faced by humanity today. The US withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty in 2002 with subsequent development of US ground- and sea – based systems has already increased tensions with Russia and China. The deployment of space-based technologies will result in the rejection of new treaties to regulate nuclear weapons and their delivery systems. The situation makes face the obvious choice: either a race of space weapons or a limitation based on international treaties, which is what Russia and China are proposing. Now the ball is on the other side of the field. | aerospace |

(AmericanProsperity.com) – On June 15, the US Army launched an Airbus Zephyr S over military space. The solar-powered drone then circled the sky for more than two months, breaking records along the way. Now, its journey has come to an end.
The drone, with its 75-foot wingspan, reportedly went missing in Arizona somewhere on August 19. The flight lasted 64 days before the crash, with the aircraft just hours away from breaking the world record for the longest continuous flight when it went down. During its mission, the tiny craft demonstrated that it could hold multiple payloads including technology that jams radars and cameras. It also exceeded heights of 60,000 feet.
The high-altitude drone Zephyr met a sticky end, just hours before it would have broken all records for the longest-ever continuous flight. https://t.co/aQ2WSwnkKU
— Simple Flying (@simple_flying) August 20, 2022
In July, the unmanned aerial device broke its previous record of the longest flight, which was set in August 2018 at 25 days and 23 hours. The Army released a statement announcing the Zephyr had accomplished a number of goals. Among the achievements were the drone’s first flight over water, its first time flying into international airspace, and the longest continuous flight using satellite communication controls.
During the test run, the device traveled from the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona to other states. The craft then went to Central America, the Gulf of Mexico, and Belize.
Business Insider reported that Michael Monteleone, the director of the testing group, said the Army’s Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing/Space Cross-Functional Team, was collecting information to find out why the drone went down.

A UNIQUE WARBIRD EXPERIENCe
The ME109 demanded respect, and in the right hands proved to be an equal to the best allied fighters in the skies over Europe, initially during the Battle of Britain and later against allied bombing raids.
Phenomenal performance and early technological advantages over allied equivalents, the 109 proved an effective fighter throughout itts development.
The *Hispano HA-1112-M4L “Buchon” is essentially a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine Messerschmitt Bf109 built under licence by Spain. Difficulties in obtaining the orginal DB engines saw the fitting of the Rolls Royce Merlin.
'Red 11' is the only two seat, dual control Buchon flying anywhere in the world, making this a truly unique warbird experience.
a worthy adversary
This aircraft was one of 27 purchased at auction from the Spanish Air Force by Spitfire Productions for use in the making of the 1968 movie “The Battle of Britain”. Luftwaffe Ace Adolf Galland flew the aircraft during the filming of the movie. After production of the movie was complete it was sold, along with many others, to Wilson “Connie” Edwards, of Big Spring Texas, and shipped to the USA in a dismantled state. It lay in storage there until being moved by Air Leasing LTD to the UK for restoration.
The world's only surviving Hispano HA-1112-M4L two seat dual control Buchon G-AWHC was produced by LaHispano Aviacion in the 1950’s and was essentially a Messerschmitt BF109G with a British Rolls Royce Merlin engine installed.

Promotes the Airline Piloting Profession, Celebrates the Wonders of Flight
By John Perkinson, Senior Staff Writer
ALPA returned to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh this year to meet with the legions of attending young people and their parents, as well as others pursuing new careers, all wanting to learn more about what it takes to become an airline pilot. The union’s participation at “the world’s greatest aviation celebration” also provided an opportunity to reconnect with the countless ALPA members who traveled to Wisconsin’s “Event City” to serve as volunteers, exhibitioners, air show performers, or simply to enjoy this annual aviation spectacle.
The 2020 air show was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and many wondered how this year’s event would fare. Further complicating matters were the proliferation of the delta variant and EAA’s restrictions to help contain the spread of the virus. However, despite these and other obstacles, AirVenture later announced that for only the third time in its history, this event’s turnout surpassed 600,000 attendees (in this case, 608,000). Clearly, Oshkosh 2021 was a success!
Many of these attendees stopped by ALPA’s new booth facilities, located a block and a half from Boeing Plaza at the heart of Wittman Regional Airport, where the annual convention, air show, and fly-in is held. ALPA selected this particular facility for its visibility, meet-and-greet counter where event attendees could talk with pilot volunteers from a variety of carriers, a theater/reception area, and a walled-off section for storage and personal business.
The accessibility of the site coupled with the Association’s promotional efforts generated a greater number of booth visits and an increased turnout at ALPA’s various pilot presentations. In addition, the union’s evening social gatherings were well attended. While EAA required that no more than 50 people access the reception area at a time due to the pandemic, a long line formed beside the booth on several occasions as pilots, retirees, and family members graciously waited their turn for that evening’s fare.
Each year at this time, the pace of life dramatically changes for this small midwestern town, as its skies fill with elaborate flight formations, performing aerobatic airplanes, and the steady stream of general aviation aircraft coming to and from the host airport.
Accordingly, Wittman’s air traffic control facility dons a banner advertising that for this brief period, it maintains the “world’s busiest control tower.” EAA confirmed this claim, later reporting, “At Wittman alone, there were 16,378 aircraft operations in the 10-day period from July 22–31, which is an average of approximately 116 takeoffs/landings per hour when the airport is open.”
Those traveling on Interstate 41 couldn’t miss the throngs of general aviation aircraft parked in the airport’s outer fields and the hordes of pilots camped beside them or sometimes under canopied wings. EAA estimated that more than 12,000 sites in aircraft and drive-in camping accounted for nearly 40,000 of this year’s attendees.
Pilots Helping Future Pilots
Among ALPA’s strategic goals, enacted by the Association’s Board of Directors at its 2020 meeting, is to encourage future members by “promoting, inspiring, and supporting an accessible and sustainable airline career.” ALPA does this by sparking interest in the profession, educating influencers, and mentoring aspiring aviators. AirVenture provides an ideal environment for the Association to promote the profession as it showcases everything related to air transportation. If it’s flying-related, there’s a display, a presentation, or an associated activity somewhere on Wittman field, and those who attend Oshkosh are likely to have an intrinsic fascination with flight.
Just outside ALPA’s meet-and-greet area, a board advertised each day’s pilot presentations, including “A Day in the Life of an Airline Pilot,” presented by F/O Justin Dahan (FedEx Express), the Association’s Education Committee chair. This half-hour discussion covered schedule bidding, legalities, the differences in passenger and all-cargo operations, and other considerations pilots routinely contend with while flying the line. Dahan’s presentation was so popular that on several occasions EAA’s ad hoc restrictions required ALPA volunteers to ask some of those interested if they would come back for another session.
Immediately following Dahan’s presentation, Capt. Mike Arcamuzi (FedEx Express) gave a daily talk titled, “Classroom to Flight Deck—How to Navigate the Various Options to Get to the Airlines as Quickly as Possible.” Periodically pausing for the roar of passing aircraft, Arcamuzi highlighted the many ways aspiring pilots can accrue flight time, prepare themselves for interviews and evaluations, and the variety of resources they have available.
In addition to his extensive experience as an ALPA and EAA volunteer and an airline pilot, Arcamuzi has firsthand knowledge of his subject matter. He has three children who in recent years began flying for airlines and are ALPA members.
In addition to the board listings, ALPA advertised its educational segments on alpa.org/oshkosh, which outlined all of the Association’s activities for the week. ALPA pilot talks were also posted on EAA’s presentations and workshops webpages.
Other booth discussions included a one-day presentation from F/O Christian Schirra (Delta) who shared tips for young aviators and their parents on “Acing the Pilot Interview.” F/O Camila Turrieta (JetBlue), who chairs the ALPA President’s Committee for Diversity and Inclusion, spoke on two occasions about “Finding Your Way: Navigating Scholarships and Interviews.”
Turrieta and her husband, F/O Gabriel Mercado (JetBlue), also participated as representatives of the Latino Pilots Association in a Monday ceremony conducted by partnering United Airlines. The carrier flew a new B-737 MAX 8 to Oshkosh that day, in part, to highlight its goal to train 5,000 new airline pilots by 2030, to help support this endeavor with its Aviate Academy, and, moving forward, to promote diversity and inclusivity within its pilot ranks. In addition, United presented Delia Nava, a Hispanic woman, a United intern, and a student at the University of Houston, with a full scholarship to the Aviate Academy.
Turrieta also spoke at the ceremony, congratulating Nava and emphasizing the importance of promoting the airline piloting profession to people with a variety of backgrounds.
Over the Airwaves
ALPA ensured that the Association was not only more visible at this year’s AirVenture but that it could also be better heard. Dahan and Capt. Bill Couette, ALPA’s vice president–administration/secretary, participated in onsite interviews on EAA Radio, locally broadcast at 96.5 FM/1210 AM.
“A day in all our lives is always different,” said Dahan, who talked about what to expect flying the line, which he also outlined in his daily ALPA booth presentations. “We try to cover everything from when you show up to work, whether you’re a commuter or live in base, to when you finish the trip…airplanes, layovers,” he said.
“That’s the type of education we’re trying to bring to people looking to get into the career,” Dahan continued. He also mentioned the other ALPA pilot presentations scheduled for the week and discussed airline trends and the Association’s safety programs.
Two days later, Couette reviewed for radio listeners the different programs ALPA makes available through its Professional Development Group. Reviewing the Association’s Education Committee activities, he noted, “We have 2,800 volunteers who are willing to talk to grade school, middle school, and high-school students.” Prior to the pandemic, in 2019, the Association was able to reach out to nearly 30,000 students “and talk about what a great job it is to be an airline pilot,” he said.
Couette added that ALPA’s outreach also extend to collegiate programs. “We have 13 memorandums of understanding with aviation universities around the country. We’re trying to get a relationship going with Webster University and McMaster University in Canada, which are both big aviation schools as well.”
He also made a point of reminding listeners about ALPA’s 90th anniversary, which occurred earlier in the week on July 27, and the union’s longstanding presence in the aviation community.
It was difficult to roam the grounds at this year’s AirVenture and not encounter countless current and retired ALPA members celebrating their various aviation interests. In Boeing Plaza where EAA exhibited its featured static displays, United’s B-737 MAX 8 and an Air Wisconsin Bombardier CRJ200LR were parked head-to-head on Monday.
The Orbis Flying Eye Hospital, across from the two airliners, was available all week for tours, conducted by volunteers like Capt. Cyndhi Berwyn (see page 34). She and other FedEx Express pilots fly the reconfigured McDonnell Douglas MD-10-30, with its modernized operating and teaching facilities, promoting good eye health to communities around the globe.
Across the tarmac, Capt. Mark Ransom (United, Ret.) stood before a Douglas DC-8 in Samaritan’s Purse livery, addressing the many passersby. A charitable, religious organization, Samaritan’s Purse provides both spiritual and physical aid to victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine around the world, and Ransom is one of its many volunteers.
Other ALPA members served in a variety of voluntary event posts, including aircraft marshals who directed traffic in the busy and expansive plaza.
Nearby, flying adventurists displayed their homebuilt achievements. Among these was Capt. Rob Zettel’s (United, Ret.) Blues Traveler, which won an “outstanding workmanship homebuilt” award at this year’s Sun ’n Fun Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Fla. Blues Traveler competed for this year’s prestigious EAA “Lindy” Award; however, the Clamar 2180 all-electric amphibious airplane didn’t win. Nonetheless, the novelty aircraft was a big draw for attending homebuilt devotees.
To the west, numerous ALPA members staffed booths in EAA’s Aviation Gateway Park, promoting their carriers to aspiring airline pilots. Among the volunteers, Capts. Dalton Chocallo and Andrew McRae and F/Os Sam Jordan, Ryan Kilgore, and Oliver Stephenson shared the merits of flying for Mesa Airlines. Nearby, Capts. James Curry and Harrison Scott answered questions about flying for Envoy Air. F/O Shelby Satkowiak reviewed the many benefits of being an Endeavor Air pilot with AirVenture participants, and Capt. Evan Kopin proudly staffed the Piedmont Airlines booth.
ALPA pilots represented a variety of aviation organizations in the EAA hangars, including F/O Troy Merritt (United), who worked the National Gay Pilots Association booth, speaking for the global LGBTQ aviation community.
Other groups were also in attendance. On Wednesday afternoon, to commemorate their time at Oshkosh, members of the International Society of Women Airline Pilots, including Capt. Tiana Daugherty (United) and other ALPA pilots, assembled at EAA’s iconic Brown Arch for a photo.
Historic Birds of Prey
Warbirds Alley at the north end of the airport field is a perennial favorite among repeat Oshkosh attendees, with its displays and presentations of vintage military aircraft now operated by civilian organizations and individuals. Among the rows of classic fighters, bombers, and other transports, ALPA pilots answered questions and shared stories about the history of their exhibited aircraft.
A member of the commemorative D-Day Squadron, Capt. John Grones (FedEx Express, Ret.) walked around his Douglas C-47 Skytrain, Placid Lassie, pointing out features like the names of previous pilots’ wives (for example, Eager Eileen), which appear on the airplane’s engines. Grones observed that although the aircraft has been refurbished, the original airframe transported U.S. paratroopers as part of the D-Day invasion of Normandy during World War II.
North American B-25 Mitchells are often remembered for their role in dropping bombs on Tokyo, Japan, in Lt. Col. James Doolittle’s April 1942 raid in response to the infamous Pearl Harbor attack. A blue B-25J-30-NC, nicknamed Devil Dog, is a Warbird regular, and flying the airplane this year were Capt. Valerie Scott (United, Ret.) (see “Our Stories” in the August 2017 issue) and Capt. Robert “Rip” Torn (Delta, Ret.).
Capt. Stuart Milson (FedEx Express) piloted a Vought F4U Corsair for the Navy Legacy Flight Foundation as part of several historic aircraft formations and flybys. Milson flies a wide range of World War II-era airplanes for the foundation and has appeared in the television series Zoo and the 2014 motion picture Get on Up about music legend James Brown.
These and other ALPA pilots exhibited their classic aircraft on the ground and in the skies. F/O Jeff Shetterly (Spirit) flew a bright yellow North American T-6 Texan for his first-ever solo performance at Oshkosh. And when he wasn’t working at the ALPA booth, Capt. Jeremy Keyes (Kalitta Air), his pilot group’s Master Executive Council chair, was giving rides and participating in air show flybys in his green Nanchang CJ-6, a 1950s-era Chinese trainer.
While ALPA pilots engaged in virtually every activity at Oshkosh, it was truly remarkable to see the number of members headlining the daily air shows. Aerobatic megastars like Capt. William “Skip” Stewart (FedEx Express) (see “Our Stories” in the September 2018 issue), who flies his Pitts S-2S Prometheus biplane, singlehandedly drew large crowds to the afternoon flight line.
F/O Justin Lewis (United) conducted aerial feats in his FLS Microjet, a high performance, low-wing, all-metal aircraft built from an amateur homebuilder kit. The world’s smallest jet, the MicroJet was featured in a 1983 James Bond film.
And in the category of the truly unusual, Capt. Jeff Boerboon (Delta) piloted a Yak-110, constructed by joining two Yak-55 fuselages together and mounting a jet engine between them. Boerboon is a premiere performer in aerobatic circles, and his aircraft is an air show favorite wherever he flies.
Several world-class aerobatic teams participated at AirVenture and, again, ALPA was well represented. Capt. Chris “CT” Thomas (JetBlue) wowed audiences as the right wing for the GEICO Skytypers, and Capt. Jimmy Fordham (Delta, Ret.) flew the slot position of the AeroShell Aerobatic Team, performing tight maneuvers high above Wittman field.
Meanwhile, Capt. Jerry Molidor (United)—call sign “Fossil” (perhaps because he’s Number 2 in his pilot group’s seniority list)—flew media flights from nearby Appleton International Airport as a member of the Phillips 66 Aerostars, giving riders an aerial view of the Wittman grounds.
The 2021 EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is now one for the books, and while the COVID-19 pandemic may have hampered some of this year’s arrangements, it didn’t prevent the greater aviation community from coming out in droves to support this one-of-a-kind event.
Throughout the week, ALPA demonstrated its unique status among the many participating aviation industry partners, helping to promote nearly every aspect of air transportation while urging those who love to fly to consider becoming an airline pilot. | aerospace |

It's a 3D-printed spherical robot that's autonomous and comes with pre-installed AI software developed by none other than IBM. It's made out of metal and plastic, is designed to float in the microgravity environment of the ISS, and is described by the people who created it as "a kind of flying brain."
Its purpose is to show data readouts for astronauts, which it can accomplish through a built-in display. And when it isn't showing any data on its screen, it can show the simple image of a friendly, smiling face. It has an AI voice, too, thanks to IBM's advanced AI technology.
According to Airbus, CIMON is designed from the ground up to assist astronauts in their everyday tasks while they are onboard the ISS. "This will be the first form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on an ISS mission," said Airbus in a statement. "CIMON is a free flyer fueled with Artificial Intelligence, enhancing human expertise. AI-based technology is about constantly understanding, reasoning, and learning, so CIMON is designed to assist and to create a feeling of talking to a crew mate."
It sounds a bit like the idea for CIMON is for it to be sort of like Wilson, the beach ball, in the movie Castaway. The only difference is, CIMON can actually be useful.
CIMON, which weighs about 11 pounds (five kilograms), is currently undergoing "training" with a live astronaut, Alexander Gerst. Gerst represented the ESA on the ISS from May 2014 to November 2014. As of today, he is scheduled to return to the ISS once he wraps up his training. He will stay in the space station from June 2018 to October 2018, and the plan is for him to bring CIMON along with him, on ESA's Horizons mission.
It is said that work on CIMON has been going on for quite some time now. Reportedly, a team of 50 different technicians have been working on it since some time in 2016, and they have been preparing its onboard AI for its future trip into space. To do this, they have been feeding it data about the ISS itself, making sure that it can help the robot in orienting itself and moving freely while it floats in microgravity.
Moreover, CIMON is also learning more about its future astronaut companion, astronaut Gerst, by analyzing various photos and voice samples of his. It is the hope of the scientists and engineers behind it that CIMON can effectively learn the layout of the ISS while getting to know Gerst at the exact same time. Once it arrives in space, astronauts will work together with its AI in order to perform a series of tasks that will stand for experiments, including work on crystals, solving a Rubik's cube, and even performing simple medical experiments. In these, CIMON can function as an interactive camera, according to a statement made by Airbus. If nothing else, it could at least serve as a way to keep astronauts entertained in the deep, cold, and dark emptiness of space.

Because of the perfect weather conditions , the balloons were able to fly on five days of the nine-day long Festival, and the organizers were pleased with the results.
In all, almost 400 take-offs took place during the Festival. Due to very fine weather on the first weekend, a new record was set, with 105 flights performed on Saturday alone (the previous record was from 2006, with 101 flights).The highlights of this event were wingsuit jumps from the basket of a balloon and from a helicopter by the Vaud native and extreme sports enthusiast Géraldine Fasnacht.
Many budding balloon pilots also had their chance to fly in a balloon for the first time ever. Everyone were fascinated by fifteen special shape balloons inflating and taking off, and by demonstrations of ASIMO, Honda’s humanoid robot, featured on the last weekend in the Great Hall of Château-d’Oex. | aerospace |

On the 18th of May, several members of our squadron (and others) made their way to Byron airport to help with providing cadet glider O-rides. Three cadets from Squadron 36, Cadets O'Neil, Mittal and Estrada, were lucky enough to get glider rides that day.
In their CAP career, cadets are entitled to 5 power and 5 glider orientation rides (“O-rides”). Many of them are interested in aviation. Some have been up in a Cessna, but an O-ride is usually their first experience with a glider.
|Ground school before the O-rides|
Cadets are put on a rotating schedule and are flown by volunteer pilots. Maj. Bob Semans, who is in the Soaring Hall of Fame, has done quite a lot to make the glider program happen, and is heavily involved. Glider pilots are CAP pilots, and therefore, like all CAP pilots, volunteers. Rides are usually done on Sunday mornings. Each ride consists of about 20 minutes of flight. CAPP 52-7 has five syllabi for flights, including:
- Syllabus 1 (corresponding to flight 1) – ground work, preflight, takeoff, climb out, release, very basic controls, approach, landing
- Syllabus 2 – trim, clearing, straight and turning glides, load factor
- Later flights – stalls, slips, coordination, instruments, and soaring
Recently, one cadet joined the Northern California Soaring Association (NCSA) after his O-ride and began taking flight lessons - one of the strongest endorsements of the glider program.
|Getting ready to head to the glider, 2Lt Eric Choate;|
Cadets Estrada, Mittal and O'Neil; and 2Lt Van Henson
|Setting up to be towed|
Glider flights are great for illustrating concepts because it's just you and the atmosphere. Want to illustrate coordination? Easy in a glider, especially with our giant wings and big adverse yaw. Glider pilot 2Lt Gast, who has flown cadets from Squadrons 10 (Palo Alto), 13 (Santa Cruz/Watsonville), 18 (Hayward), 36 (San Jose), 44 (Concord), 86 (San Francisco), and 192 (San Carlos), lets cadets handle the controls as much as possible, so they make the turns. According to 2Lt Gast, “the sheer joy watching a cadet keep the turn going in a thermal is worth every second of the preparation to pull it off. When possible, I'll use a thermal to gain lift and keep the flight going. I have yet to have a cadet want to land.”
Since many CAP Wings do not own any gliders, there is a somewhat long-standing agreement between the Soaring Society of America (SSA) and CAP. In areas where there is not a CAP-owned corporate glider, CAP uses SSA member clubs to provide the orientation. In our case, NCSA is the nearest SSA club with CAP pilot members, and we are grateful for their generous support of the O-ride program.

Bored again, so here is the first in a series of the three most influential German fighter pilots
of WWI. Warning: accidental learning possible.
1: Max immelmann
Max Immelmann was a pioneer in air combat and the first German flying ace.
In 1915, was one of the first to fly with the revolutionary Fokker E, equipped with the
synchronizes gear. allowing the pilot to fire directly ahead through the propeller (Before that. most
planes used a mounted gun operated by the navigator, behind the pilot, or small caliber handguns
fired by the pilot while flying)
He scored his first victory shortly afterwards. against Lieutenant William Reid. Reid was only
armed with a hand held automatic gun, which he was still firing at after being hit
several times, with his arm broken in 4 places, all while flying his plane. After Raids motor gave
out he landed and was captured by . who landed beside him and rendered first aid.
He quickly racked up an impressive series of victories, and became known as the "Eagle of
Lille". becoming the first German ace with six confirmed victories.
In June of 1916, led a flight of four in search ofthe 25th Squadron ofthe Royal
Flying Corps in northern France By then. the British planes had closed the technological gap.
and was well aware of that, after he barely survived an attack of Aiico DH. planes
After intercepting the eight planes of the British Squadron, was able to to shoot
down one of the enemy aircraft. wounding the pilot and the observer. It would have been his will
victory, but it never got confirmed by the command.
Later that evening, encountered the 25th again, and managed to shoot one of them in
the first seconds ofthe fight The plane Second Lieutenant GR. Scrubbin and his gunner
Corporal J . H Waller then managed to shoot down by swooping down from higher
altitude, crippling Immelmann plane, which fell out of the sky, killing the ace. For this feat. British
authorities awarded Scrubbin the Distinguished Service Order and the Distinguished Service
Medal and sergeant' s stripes for Waller.
The Immelmann tum
Immelmann most famous legacy is the ''immelmann tum" a half looping followed by a half roll.
which is very useful to reverse and gain altitude in limited space While it is very unlikely that
was actually able to perform this maneuver with his Fokker E, but with this invention.
he was the first pilot to use the exchange of kinetic energy and altitude to his advantage.

Glad that everybody is OK...
A charter plane carrying the University of Louisville basketball team to Tampa had to return to Louisville for an emergency landing after an engine caught fire.
Kenny Klein, U of L’s associate athletic director for media relations, said the team was 10 to 15 minutes into its flight when it turned around.
He said the team was not told about the engine fire until the plane was safely on the ground.
“We had no idea what was going on until we landed and everything was safe at that point,” Klein said.
He said the pilot walked back into the passenger area “and told us what was happening. There was no alarm on our part.”
Klein said the team was watching game film in preparation for its game tomorrow night at South Florida while waiting for another plane. | aerospace |

The mother went into labor during the flight and Air Force medical crews at Ramstein helped deliver the child in the cargo bay of the aircraft, Air Mobility Command said in a statement.
The plane originated from an intermediate staging base in the Middle East, AMC said.
Once the plane landed, airmen from the base were able to board the plane and help complete the delivery of the baby. The mother and her newborn daughter were then transported to a nearby medical facility and are in good condition, according to the statement.
“Medical support personnel from the 86th Medical Group help an Afghan mother and family off a US Air Force C-17, call sign Reach 828, moments after she delivered a child aboard the aircraft upon landing at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Aug. 21,” the military unit added.

Software “geofencing” is common, mostly aiming to prevent drones from flying in very specific areas, like airports, though this is by far the largest effort, and the first directly intended to prevent the drones being used for makeshift military purposes.
The US has made much of its concern about needing to invest in anti-drone weapons specifically because ISIS has shown such an interest in using the drones to drop bombs or suicide attack forces in both Iraq and Syria, sometimes causing casualties.
While this software update gives the drone operator deniability on the use of commercial drones in combat, it’s not at all clear that the software will effectively preclude such operation, or simply require ISIS, or whomever, to jump through some hoops to jailbreak the device.

Strong refueling power means boom operators must be trained and ready. The Boom Operator Weapon System Trainers placed at select bases to include MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, provides a platform to instruct Airmen assigned to the MacDill BOWST to Airmen from around the world. “Without the required continuation training, a boom operator would be considered non-mission ready, and therefore would not be able to fly local missions, nor deploy,” said John Mercer, a BOWST Instructor assigned to the 6th Operations Support Squadron and retired boom operator. “Simulator training directly impacts mission effectiveness of overall operations.” Airmen travel throughout the year to utilize the simulator. The U.S Airmen at Royal Air Force Mildenhall, England, is one of MacDill’s essential mobility partners. “Four years ago, I was working in the squadron training shop and our team helped set this program up for Mildenhall,” explained Tech. Sgt. Augie Marshall, wing scheduler assigned to the 100th OSS. “Traveling to MacDill is an efficient way for us to complete BOWST training, an annual requirement at our base.” During their time in the MacDill BOWST, these Airmen train on normal procedures as well as how to handle malfunctions. “In the BOWST we focus a lot of time on malfunctions students may never see in the aircraft,” said Nathan Peachey, a boom operator instructor assigned to the 6th OSS and a former boom operator for 25 years. “We hope they never have to experience these malfunctions, but just in case, we want them to be prepared to handle a difficult situation.” During their time here, they gain more and more experience and are better equipped to deal with unusual circumstances. “It helps Airmen from the lowest to highest rank to be ready to go at a moment’s notice and use what we learn if needed,” said Marshall. “We take the knowledge back to our home station and teach other Airmen.” The relationship is beneficial for both the Mildenhall and MacDill Airmen. “We bring back certain scenarios and malfunctions that we have seen at Mildenhall and share with our BOWST instructors to see if any of MacDill’s booms operators or simulator instructors have seen anything like it,” explained Marshall. “We strive for a better understanding of the malfunction and a correct or better way to handle the malfunction in the future.” As a total force, bases work together to successfully complete mission objectives. Mildenhall and MacDill team together to keep their forces educated and ready. | aerospace |

It is Odysseus, from the Texan company Intuitive Machine: an absolute first in the history of the space age, as well as the return of an American vehicle to the Moon 52 years after the last ‘Apollo’ mission. Launched on February 15th, Odysseus entered lunar orbit on February 21st. In the night the moon landing in a crater near a 5 km high mountain complex known as Malapert. It is the southernmost point on the Moon ever visited by a spacecraft.
This is when NASA announced that the Odysseus probe had landed on the Moon, the first American probe to do so in 50 years. pic.twitter.com/wj09Nr9UlP

It wasn’t a walk in the park
The American commercial spacecraft Odysseus is therefore on the Moon more than half a century after the end of the famous “Apollo” program which brought man to the satellite. It is not entirely clear what conditions it is in: the first signal it sent to the headquarters of the private company Intuitive Machines which designed it and sent it into space with NASA funding, arrived late and weak.
At 2.25am, the company tweeted: “After resolving communications issues, flight controllers have confirmed that Odysseus is upright and starting to send data.” It wasn’t a walk in the park. The engineers managing the flight and landing faced significant navigation problems, and mission control had great difficulty communicating with the craft after its arrival. “Odie”, as they nicknamed her, succeeded in the feat a month after the failure of a previous US mission of the same type.
What Odysseus will do on the Moon
What will it be used for, concretely? The goal of Odysseus is to study the lunar environment of the Moon’s south pole as part of NASA’s plan to bring a crewed mission there at the end of 2026. The spacecraft, just over 4 meters high, carries scientific instruments
Odysseus lifted off from Florida last week and entered lunar orbit on Wednesday. The much-feared moon landing lasted about an hour: the lasers that were supposed to allow autonomous driving did not activate, but the Intuitive Machines teams used a NASA instrument that had only been on board on an experimental basis and later proved to be essential . About ten minutes before the moment of touching the lunar surface, the spacecraft’s travel was slowed down for the final descent, vertically from 30 meters above sea level. At that stage, the device was completely autonomous. An instrument equipped with cameras, sent outside the spacecraft, filmed the great moment, until Odysseus’ six feet touched the satellite’s ground.
If today’s moon landing is the first in 52 years for the United States (after the end of the Apollo program in 1972), India and Japan have recently managed to land on the Moon, becoming respectively the fourth and fifth countries to do so, after the Soviet Union , USA and China.
The private companies that have tried, from Israel, Japan and the USA, have not yet succeeded in the undertaking and Russia also failed in an attempt last summer. The place identified by Intuitive Machines to act as a landing strip for its Odie is located about 300 kilometers from the south pole of the Moon, considered interesting because there is frozen water there, a usable deposit.
NASA would like to send a crew there starting from 2026 with the Artemis missions. To prepare for such missions, it invented this CLPS program, Commercial Lunar Payload Services: instead of directly developing spacecraft for the Moon, the American space agency commissioned private companies to transport its scientific instruments. This reduces costs for the state agency and allows for more frequent trips.
How long will we have to wait for man to return to the Moon
No one has set foot on the Moon since 1972, when Eugene Cernan, the 11th man to land there, wrote his daughter Tracy’s initials on the regolith with his finger before returning home. Now there is a lot of talk about a return, but the difficulties are many, more than expected. NASA astronauts will not be able to go there until at least 2026. The Artemis III mission has been delayed by at least a year.
The agency does not yet have a tested capsule to take astronauts to lunar soil, or suitable spacesuits. It will take a long, long time. NASA has also postponed the Artemis II mission to 2025 will see four astronauts fly around the Moon without actually landing. For now, we will make do with the poetry of Tracy’s initials as our last mark on thethe only natural satellite of the Earth. | aerospace |

Growth in the United States outpaced that in Europe, reversing a two-year trend.
The 2018 global aerospace and defense (A&D) industry’s financial performance study reveals a growth story, albeit one that’s slowing. While the defense subsector did well, a slowdown in the commercial aerospace subsector dragged down global performance.1 Even as revenues and core operating profits have been trending upward, the A&D industry underperformed the 2017 estimated global gross domestic product growth of 3.1 percent.2
Deloitte’s 2018 Global aerospace and defense industry financial performance study reviews the financial performance of the top 100 global A&D businesses by revenue—either independent companies or those units of industrial conglomerates with A&D businesses that reported revenues of more than US$500 million in 2017. The businesses were evaluated based on 19 key financial metrics including revenues, operating earnings, operating margins, return on assets, free cash flow, free cash margin, book-to-bill ratio, and employee productivity. Here are a few highlights from what the study revealed.
Global revenue growth was up 2.7 percent compared to 2.4 percent in 2016, largely driven by robust defense spending.3 In particular, the defense subsector benefited from the increase in global defense spending as well as the US defense budget’s returning to growth. Growth in commercial aerospace remained subdued owing to fewer twin-aisle aircraft deliveries in the United States; this was partially offset by strong deliveries in Europe.4 Original equipment manufacturers and companies in the electronics segment also played a part in driving overall revenue growth.5
There was no change in the rankings of the top 10 A&D companies. Consistent with previous years, the revenues of the top 20 global A&D companies accounted for nearly 73.5 percent of overall industry revenues, confirming that the industry remains concentrated.6
The A&D industry’s global operating income (reported) grew 12.5 percent over 2016, led by a significant improvement in profitability at Boeing and Airbus. Core operating earnings (adjusted) rose 9.1 percent on the back of the commercial aerospace subsector’s solid operating performance. Sixty-eight companies reported positive year-on-year growth in core operating earnings, with the top 20 companies accounting for 79.3 percent of the industry’s total core operating earnings, reflecting concentration of industry profits.7
Global A&D industry core operating margins also improved in 2017, primarily led by companies in the United States; the European A&D industry showed stable margins. Operating margin (reported) was up as well. Out of the 100 companies analyzed, only three reported negative operating margins. One-time write-offs/nonrecurring charges declined in 2017, narrowing the gap between reported and core margins. The propulsion segment’s mostly flat operating margins (17.4 percent) were still the highest.8
The global defense subsector led overall industry growth (revenues up 3.9 percent) as defense spending continued to increase due to heightened global security threats, increasing US defense budgets, and defense spending from other major regional powers such as India, China, and Japan. In contrast, global commercial aerospace subsector growth slowed to 1.2 percent in 2017 from a growth rate of 2.7 percent in 2016.9 Backlogs of commercial aircraft remained at an all-time high of 14,215 aircrafts.10
The defense subsector’s operating margins remained flat at 11.2 percent, while the commercial aerospace subsector’s operating margins grew to 11.0 percent. Profitability improved for the commercial aerospace subsector.11
Productivity improvement in the overall A&D industry accelerated as profitability rose, primarily in the United States.
The US-based companies in the study accounted for 60.0 percent of global A&D revenues, followed by companies headquartered in Europe (31.4 percent); companies domiciled in Canada, Brazil, Japan, China, India, Australia, and other regions accounted for the balance. Revenues for the US companies grew 3.4 percent in an environment of robust defense spending. However, this was only slightly better than the performance of their European counterparts, which grew 3.1 percent, led by both commercial aerospace and defense sectors.12
With global revenue growth having recovered in the last three years, and productivity continuing to improve (up a solid 8.6 percent since 2016), the A&D industry may be seen to be on a positive trajectory.13 That said, the industry’s run in positive territory could be a function of many variables, regional and global. The combined interplay of these variables will likely form the basis for overall financial performance of the global A&D industry. | aerospace |

Flying planes in GTA 5 might just be the best way to travel around the map. The game has a vast map that can take a lot of time to get from one point to another by car.
Flying planes can be pretty challenging in GTA 5, especially if players don’t have experience with any older GTA titles. To fly a plane, they need to locate one in the game.
There are quite a few plane spawn spots in GTA 5, and gamers can go to them at any point and pick a plane to fly. There are chances of getting a wanted star, but they can easily get into a plane in GTA 5. Here is how players can fly planes in GTA 5 on PC quite easily.
Everything players need to know about flying planes in GTA 5 on PC
Once users get onto a plane in GTA 5, they need to learn to take off. All they must do is hold the ‘W’ key on the keyboard and watch the plane move forward when on land.
For the plane to take off, players need to hold the ‘Num5’ button for the plane’s nose to lift off from the ground. When the plane is in the air, they have to press ‘G’ to take up the wheels.
Maneuvering the plane in the game
Once the plane is airborne, gamers can control the plane’s direction by pressing ‘W’, ‘S’, ‘A’, and ‘D’. These buttons turn the aircraft in the desired direction.
Users can tilt the plane by pressing ‘Num 4’ to roll the aircraft towards the left and ‘Num 6’ to do so towards the right.
Pressing the ‘Num 8’ pitches the aircraft towards the front, which means moving the nose down. Players can lift the plane’s nose by pressing ‘Num 5’.
Landing the plane in the game
To land the plane, players must find a long straight road to land. The next step is getting the aircraft as close to the land as possible by pressing ‘Num 8’. They then need to pull out the wheels for the plane by pressing ‘G’.
Gamers must watch the speed and altitude of the plane while bringing it to the floor, and the last thing they need to do once the plane has touched the ground is to press ‘S’ to stop the aircraft in the game. | aerospace |

Heavy traffic jam in front of your door and you need to go to a meeting. You’re never going to be on time. No worries, with one click on your drone service-app, a little drone picks you up and takes you in ten minutes to your destination, without any headaches and with an amazing view of the city.
Is this reality or just a futuristic scene from a sci-fi movie? In a time where the selfie drone is a hit and you can have your pizza delivered by a drone, the development of a passenger drone is not far from reality anymore.
Passenger drone development is in full swing and the first drones have already reached the sky. The Ehang 184 can fly with a passenger for 23 straight minutes on one charge. The Chinese firm EHang presented the drone at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and is now testing in the Nevada skies. This makes Nevada one of the first US states to permit autonomous drones in its airspace.
The business is booming. Uber revealed ambitious plans for Uber Elevate Stations, taxi stations all over town that fly with multi-passenger drones. Amazon started testing its Prime Air vehicles in the US, UK, Austria and Israel. The drones can carry small packages up to five pounds and bring them to the clients. In addition, drone developer Flirtey is cooperating with Dominos Pizza by delivering pizzas in New Zealand. And the European firm Atomico invested 10 million euros in plane developer Lilium Aviation to build a passenger drone. These entrepreneurs all discovered that the use of drones highly accelerates package delivery and facilitates access to remote areas. Besides delivery and taxi services, its use can also facilitate the military, engineering, and emergency services.
All current passenger and delivery drones are developed as autonomous flyers, which is the most efficient choice for future development. It is simply not efficient to let everyone get a Private Pilot license to fly a passenger drone, which requires at least 40 hours of flying experience. Most of the people would not even be able to qualify for the license.
On top of that, autonomous vehicles are more reliable drivers than a human being. Autonomous systems in cars and drones use GPS to track their location, while using sensors, learning algorithm software, and cameras to recognize signs and other traffic. Based on this information, the car or drone itself decides on a safe speed, acceleration, braking and turning while the passenger can just sit back and relax. Compared to an autonomous car, flying in a drone is even safer, because there is more space to evade obstacles in the sky.
To produce the Ehang 184, developers combined the best of autonomous driving technologies and drone development into a vehicle that can now autonomously fly itself with one passenger inside. The company ensures a “comfortable cabin environment and a smooth and steady flight even in windy condition”. The drone might look unsteady, but its light structure is made from the same material NASA uses for space craft.
During the flight, the drone connects to a command centre that provides essential information to the drone system. In bad weather conditions, for instance, the command centre will prohibit the drone from take-off and in an emergency, it will show the drone the nearest landing spots.
It needs a lot of research on automated systems before passenger drones can become a part of our daily life. Companies like Tesla, Google and Uber are now within three to five years of launching fully automated (driverless) cars on the commercial market, but they encountered some major throwbacks.
The first difficulty is charging the autonomous system. The Ehang 184, which is the most sophisticated passenger drone developed until now, can only fly for 23 minutes (after it charged for 2-4 hours). A solution could be to develop an infrastructure for mid-air charging, through mid-air charge stations or by laser power beams. The wireless charging start-up LaserMotive is testing this method, and performed an experiment with Lokheed Martin in 2012 by shooting lasers at photovoltaic cells mounted on a flying vehicle. They kept the vehicle operated for a record time of 48 hours. If drone developers are able to implement this technology in passenger drones, drones do not have to land anymore to get charged.
Other hurdles on the road to passenger drone use are the existing regulations concerning drones. In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandates that drones must be within line of sight, and must always be controlled by a live operator. However, in some countries the flight rules have been adapted to the new developments. In the Netherlands, the first fully autonomous drone network was built in the city Delft, complete with docking stations and a rental system.
Human imagination has always been fueled by flying cars and vehicles. If developments will go on as fast as they do now, it will not take long before passenger drones take transportation to the next level and let us commute through the clouds. | aerospace |

A once-clear vista of the distant rim of Gale Crater now looks smoggy — almost like the gray-brown-yellow stuff that hangs above Los Angeles on a hot summer’s day. So what’s causing this change in opacity?
As can be seen in the above global view of Mars, NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took a near-continuous observation of the planet on Nov. 18 with its Mars Color Imager. The mosaic has picked out an assortment of geographical features, but there’s one rather ominous atmospheric feature (white arrows) that grabbed the attention of Malin Space Science Systems’ Bruce Cantor.
A regional dust storm is brewing and Cantor first observed the storm on Nov. 10. He reported the detection to NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover team who manage Opportunity. Although the storm is over 800 miles from the tenacious rover, dust storms are of a concern for any solar powered surface mission, especially for a rover that has outlived its expected mission lifetime by several years. Opportunity’s solar panels are already covered in dust, so should there be an additional dip in sunlight due to a dusty atmosphere there could be an impact on its mission. Additional dust layers on the panels wouldn’t help either.
Opportunity does not have a weather station, but its cameras have detected a slight drop in atmospheric clarity. Curiosity, on the other hand, does have a weather station — called the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) — and has been closely monitoring the atmospheric variability over the last few days, detecting a decreased air pressure and a slight rise in overnight low temperature. This is in addition to the dramatic loss in visibility. In short, it sounds like Curiosity can sense a storm in the air.
With the help of Emily Lakdawalla over at the Planetary Society, a nifty animation by Egorov Vitaly that highlights the change in visibility has been showcased:
“This is now a regional dust storm. It has covered a fairly extensive region with its dust haze, and it is in a part of the planet where some regional storms in the past have grown into global dust hazes,” said Rich Zurek, chief Mars scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. “For the first time since the Viking missions of the 1970s, we are studying a regional dust storm both from orbit and with a weather station on the surface.”
Now this is the cool bit. We currently have an armada of Mars orbiters, plus two generations of Mars rovers doing groundbreaking work on opposite sides of the red planet. We are in an unprecedented age of planetary exploration where a network of robots all work in concert to aid our understanding of how the planet works. In this case, local weather changes are being observed around two surface missions while corroborating data is being gathered hundreds of miles overhead.
From the NASA JPL press release:
Starting on Nov. 16, the Mars Climate Sounder instrument on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter detected a warming of the atmosphere at about 16 miles (25 kilometers) above the storm. Since then, the atmosphere in the region has warmed by about 45 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius). This is due to the dust absorbing sunlight at that height, so it indicates the dust is being lofted well above the surface and the winds are starting to create a dust haze over a broad region.
Warmer temperatures are seen not only in the dustier atmosphere in the south, but also in a hot spot near northern polar latitudes due to changes in the atmospheric circulation. Similar changes affect the pressure measured by Curiosity even though the dust haze is still far away.
We’re monitoring weather on another planet people! If that’s not mind-blowing, I don’t know what is.
Note: Apologies for the Astroengine.com hiatus, I’ve been somewhat distracted with writing duties at Discovery News and Al Jazeera English. If you’re ever wondering where I’ve disappeared to, check in on my Twitter feed, I tweet a lot!
One thought on “A Martian Storm Is Brewing”
I am so grateful To have lived long Enough To actually be able To view the surface of Mars in Real-Time ! Amazing! | aerospace |

We discovered things that had never been discovered, designed things that had never been designed, and went were mankind had ever gone before. It was an exciting time to watch what we could do, both as a nation and as a species, when we put our collective mind to a singular task. NASA became the preeminent research and engineering organization on the planet.
When we think of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions we inevitably think of the rockets and space capsules and lunar landers that were the stars of the show. That wasn’t all NASA did, however, and behind the scenes they were building new structures purpose designed to build, test, house, and launch the new wonder machines. When they weren’t pushing the boundaries of space exploration they were working to push our broader understanding of flight into uncharted territory.
As it turns out, NASA has a Flickr account full of historic images of man, machine, missions and structures that go way beyond shots of astronauts on the moon. It's a great way to waste some time on a starry summer evening!

It's no secret that I'm enamored with the Saturn V rocket. For my generation (read: old fogies) the Saturn V defined the United States; it was big, bad, and cemented our belief in our technical superiority over the Evil Empire (read: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.) To this day it is the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever to be deployed and holds the record for launching the heaviest payload into space. It's also the most reliable, because in its 13 launches it never lost a crew member or payload.
The Saturn V was the rocket that took us to the moon, and there was nothing like the giant fireball of the Rocketdyne F-1 engines in its first stage to ignite our nationalistic pride on liftoff. Those godless Soviets may have been first, but by golly we were the BEST!
In the 2 minutes and 41 seconds those engines burned they took the Saturn V to an altitude of 42 miles and a speed of over 6,000mph. At that point the first stage was jettisoned and the five Rocketdyne engines would tumble into the sea, to be forgotten by the American people.
All except for Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon. Like me, he loves the Saturn V. Unlike me, he has more money than God and can afford to do outlandish things - like putting together a team of ocean explorers to recover some Rocketdynes from the sea floor. He succeeded, and you can read the story and see some pictures of the recovered engines, at Fast Company. Be sure to watch the incredible slo-mo video they've put up as well - it's a view of a Saturn V liftoff that isn't commonly seen.
For me, though, I never get tired of the film where "USA" travels past the camera on the way out of the launch gantry:
No matter how hard they try, North Korea will never top that!

There was a time when Cape Canaveral (Cape Kennedy, for those who grew up in the late '60s) was the center of national and international attention. That's where all of our manned space launches happened: the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo projects, as well as the Space Shuttle missions. It drew throngs of tourists and resulted in a long-lived boom in the region. It was a place where real magic happened.
With the close of the Shuttle era, however, the infrastructure of Cape Canaveral is being idled. The thousands of technicians, engineers and scientists who worked there have dwindled, and along with them the tourists. The Cape is slowly turning into a ghost town, complete with empty attractions and shuttered businesses. The structures on launch pad LC-39B at the Kennedy Space Center were demolished in 2011, while the fate of sister pad LC-39A is uncertain.
Photographer David Ryle has spent some time there chronicling the decline of what has been called "Space Coast". A selection of his pictures are up at Fast Company, and are worth a look if you - like me - were ever fascinated by the idea of human beings being rocketed into space.

Last week's Surprise was about space, so I thought "why not keep the theme going?"
The Space Shuttle, as you probably heard, has been grounded forever. In total, we built six of them: The Enterprise, which was used for atmospheric tests only and never made it to space; the Columbia, which broke up on re-entry in 2003; the Challenger, which blew up shortly after lift-off in 1986; and Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavor, which were all retired and are even now in the process of being moved to museums.
There was one Shuttle, however, which preceded even Enterprise. It's been sitting, nearly forgotten, in an unlighted warehouse in Downey, CA since 1972. There's now a movement underway to restore it and put it on display.
So, why doesn't anyone remember it? After all, it was the model - literally - for all that would follow. If you can think of a word that rhymes with "follow", and put it together with the other clues I’ve worked into this post, you’ll get the rest of the story. Alternatively, you could take the easy way out and just click on this link and read about it at the Los Angeles Times.
It’s more interesting, at any rate!

In the fall of 1977 I was starting my junior year in high school (we had actual high schools back then; no junior high nonsense, and we didn't refer to ourselves as being in the "eleventh grade".) I was something of a math and science geek, and along with that came an abiding interest in space travel. NASA was like Mecca.
For anyone who followed the goings-on at Cape Canaveral, it was an exciting time. The launch of the Voyager space probes - Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 - was imminent. They were destined to do exploration of Saturn and Jupiter and hopefully give us new information about those planets, information which we couldn't get from telescopes on earth.
The launch went perfectly and the Voyagers did their jobs at both planets. We learned many new things from their close fly-bys, but the machines were still operating. NASA extended both missions, with Voyager 2 being sent to Uranus and Neptune and Voyager 1 being sent on a mission to explore the outer limits of the sun's influence. Voyager 2, if it were to be operating after the passes over Uranus and Neptune, would join that mission.
Today Voyager 1 is the furthest man-made object from earth: 1.8x10^10 kilometers, or 120 astronomical units, or roughly 11,154,696,873 miles. It is now in a part of space that we've never explored, a region known as the heliosheath. This is the narrow area between our solar system (heliosphere) and interstellar space, where solar winds slow and cosmic rays start to penetrate. This was an unimaginable achievement when the Voyagers were launched, and unless Voyager 1 collides with something it is expected to reach the heliopause - the very boundary between the solar system and open space. When? We don't know, because we don't know how thick the heliosheath is. That's something else the Voyager missions will be able to tell us!
Voyager 1 is expected to continue to function until about 2020, at which point it will be 43 years old and its systems will finally run out of power, many years past its original design life. We may not have been able to make very good automobiles back then, but we sure knew how to make spacecraft!

Today marks the final scheduled launch of our Space Shuttle. While one can argue about the merits of the program, it was a great example of what our country could do if we simply decided to do it. Back in '79 I could not have conceived that space launches would be so common that people would scarcely pay attention to them, yet that's exactly what happened.
As it turned out most of the Shuttle's jobs could be just as easily (and usually less expensively) be done using expendable rockets. Still, despite my avowed position as a critic of government involvement in most areas of life I'm glad that my tax dollars went to fund the Shuttle.
Sometimes, folks, you've got to do something outlandish just to prove you're alive. NASA has given us a collective way to be outlandish, the national equivalent of your local municipality's fireworks display.
Here is a great retrospective of the Shuttle program, via the LA Times. No matter how much a fan of space you may be I suspect you'll find many pictures that you've not seen before.

Down in Florida's Everglades, well hidden from casual view, is the remnant of an idea: to build solid fuel rocket motors for the Apollo space missions.
In 1963 the decision between solid or liquid fueled boosters for what would be the Saturn V rocket had not yet been made, and there was stiff competition between supporters of the two ideas. General Tire Company, which had a subsidiary named Aerojet General, was solidly (pardon the pun) on the side of solid fuel.
They put their money where their mouths were, investing millions to build a rocket assembly and test facility in what was the middle of nowhere. They built facilities to make the fuel and assemble the rockets, a 150-foot-deep silo to test fire the motors, and even a canal to transport the finished rockets through their swampy surroundings to the Atlantic ocean.
The Aerojet-Dade facility, as it was known, built and tested only three motors -- but they were the largest and most powerful solid fuel rocket motors ever made. Liquid fuel was eventually chosen for the Saturn V, and in 1969 the facility was abandoned. Aerojet walked away, leaving everything behind -- including the third rocket still sitting in the test silo!
Someplace Else has a great recap of the whole Aerojet story, including some pictures of the last rocket in the silo. Florida's Forgotten History has a wonderful gallery of recent pictures of the abandoned plant, including the silo. Astronautix.com has some more technical information and pictures, including one of Test #2 -- at night! (Think of the Independence Day celebration you could have with that thing!)
I'll leave you with this brief video documentary, shot by Coffee and Celluloid Productions. Have a good Fourth!

While you may not be familiar with her work, Megan Prelinger has been busy chronicling America’s space initiatives, focusing on how they were sold to the public. She’s put together a great book: "Another Science Fiction,” which is largely a collection of advertisements for space contractors during the Cold War.
SImultaneously recruiting employees while dangling the lure of space exploration to the masses, these ads ran in such magazines as LIFE and National Geographic. I remember many of them, but Prelinger's book is the first to collect them and show how vital they were in shaping a new vision of space.
In this must-read interview at WIRED, Prelinger talks about the impact of space advertising, what could have been bigger than Apollo, and how countercultural utopias figured into the space race. Fascinating.

The LIFE website this week unveiled a photo retrospective of Project Mercury, America's first human spaceflight program. If you look at the picture captions, you'll notice one name on most of them: Ralph Morse. There's a good reason for that.
Ralph Morse was a staffer at LIFE (and later TIME) when he was assigned to cover a press conference in Washington in 1959. That event was the announcement of the Project Mercury astronauts. Sensing the long term importance of the announcement, Morse contacted his editor and told him that there would be a lot of public interest in these men. He suggested that the magazine assign someone permanently to NASA, which was then less than a year old. Morse got the job.
It was a good choice; Morse had already been with LIFE for over a decade, bringing back some of the most well known pictures in their archives. NASA was a fledgling agency, and Morse had gotten himself in on the ground floor of what would become the Space Race.
Over the next couple of decades, Morse would become an insider at NASA. He got exclusive access, and was even allowed to place his cameras in restricted areas his competition at NEWSWEEK couldn't even dream of. Along the way, he produced some of the most iconic images of the various NASA projects.
It all started at that press conference, where an idiot reporter (some things never change) asked the astronauts which of them expected "to come back alive." Morse grabbed this shot of the astronauts showing their mettle:
Some of his shots were very well known...
...while others weren't:
All of them, though, came from the camera of an inventive genius whose enthusiasm for his job knew no bounds. Were it not for his eye, his ingenuity, and his nose for news, we wouldn't have this great visual record of our nation's greatest achievements. George Hunt, at one time LIFE's Managing Editor, said “if LIFE could afford only one photographer, it would have to be Ralph Morse.”
Ralph is now 92, but unfortunately for us gave up photography some years ago.

In 1997, NASA launched the Cassini spacecraft to study the planet Saturn. It finally reached the ringed planet in 2004, and started sending back some positively amazing images. The craft continues to work perfectly, and as a result the mission has been extended to 2010.
See more of these incredible pictures.

I've previously mentioned my appreciation for the work that NASA has done over it's 50-year history. NASA grew up right along with me - or me with it - and NASA was always doing the exciting stuff boys of that era were smitten by: Astronauts. Fast planes. Rockets. The Moon.
(It wasn't just spectacle, though; NASA was the catalyst for technological progress that continues to be felt today. A surprising number of the things we now take for granted can be traced directly back to some NASA project.)
We learned about the exploits of the engineers, technicians and astronauts through NASA-supplied pictures in the magazines of the day. My early interest in science was kindled by those pictures, and some of them I still remember.
NASA documented everything, but not all of their photos were of general interest. A large percentage of their images were never seen by the general public because the media was understandably reluctant to publish anything of interest only to nerds. Through the magic of the internet, however, we now have ready access to some of those great pictures.
The agency has launched a new site just for NASA images. You can search or browse and download your selected pictures, drawings, and illustrations - some of them of quite high resolution. You'll find lots of astronomical images, of course, but you'll find all kinds of other things too.
Two of my favorites from the 1969 launch of Apollo 11, taking the first men to the moon:
Saturn V rocket FTW!
If you're a science buff like me, you can spend large amounts of time on their site. I recommend that you not try this a) at work, or b) when your significant other expects you to be paying attention to him/her/the kids/household chores/your dinner guests. You have been warned!

When I was a wee lad, America was at the forefront of space exploration. By the time I was old enough to know what was going on, we'd recovered from the shock of the Soviets beating us into space, and had responded in a big way with Gemini and Apollo programs.
In those days, our grade school classes would literally come to a halt as we gathered around a television set to watch a liftoff or a splashdown. The mighty Saturn V rockets - spewing a fireball that remains unequalled for sheer excitement - would take our astronauts into space for yet another thrilling mission. Landing men on the moon was our crowning achievement, watched by just about everyone in the country.
Space flights were national events on a scale that I haven't seen since - and probably never will again. The SuperBowl and American Idol Finals may draw larger audiences, but in terms of captivating our collective conscious, of instilling pride in our country and what we were capable of doing, they will ever equal the NASA of the mid 20th century.
NASA has put together a little retrospective of their first 50 years, using photos that have rarely been seen publicly. If you are a child of the '50s or '60s, this will bring back stirring memories of what we briefly referred to as Cape Kennedy.

However, if you live in northern Texas, the MIZ is quickly becoming known for pushing the boundaries of drone technology. The MIZ (Mobility Innovation Zone) is an integral part of Alliance Texas. Developed and owned by Hillwood of the Perot Group, Alliance is a “27,000-acre master-planned community. It’s a place to grow your business and raise a family. It’s an economic engine powering a region where businesses big and small are embracing innovation.”
The planned community of Alliance has everything a major metropolitan community would need but has been built with innovation at its core. One of the driving forces for innovation today is drone technology, and the MIZ is the perfect testing ground for drone capabilities. A representative from Hillwood said that the MIZ provides interested parties the opportunity to “accelerate the development and commercialization of urban air mobility and UAS technologies and solutions while informing the future regulatory framework in suburban and urban settings.” Earlier this month, Hillwood announced that with the support of the MIZ, Google Wing will begin a first of its kind delivery trial in Alliance Texas.
For almost a decade, people have been waiting for drone delivery options to become a reality. In many neighborhoods, drones are currently making deliveries. These deliveries are of small goods from local shops and restaurants in small communities. In some regions, drones are commuting across hospital campuses to transport medical supplies. Drones are also being used to deliver medical supplies and necessities to remote locations. Delivery drones have had success in these locations because they are not densely populated. One of the biggest concerns with drone deliveries is how they will manage in populous metropolitan environments.
With hundreds of commercial and private businesses, 7 major residential developments, and access to the MIZ, Alliance is an ideal metropolitan drone delivery test site. Wing began test flights at the MIZ in June 2021 and is now ready to branch out. They will be operating out of the 242 acre mixed-use development Frisco Station, adjacent to the corporate headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. Built in partnership with AT&T, Frisco Station is a fully “smart” development that incorporates 5G technology. Frisco Station will provide Wing with the technological support needed to begin drone deliveries to populous communities.
That doesn’t mean that drones will be zipping around the city right away. As with all new drone programs, slow and steady is the way to go. For any drone program to have lasting stability, it needs to be vetted to the highest degree. The Wing and Frisco Station drone collaboration will begin limited drone deliveries over the last weeks of October 2021. At the same time Wing, Frisco Station, and the MIZ will be considering the many possibilities in which drones could benefit the residents and businesses of Alliance. Part of this will include a large community outreach program to educate and make people excited about drone possibilities. Community demonstrations, school field trips, and facility tours are just one facet of how Alliance plans to integrate drones into the community frameworks.
Wing hopes to expand its drone deliveries to the full scope of Alliance’s residents and businesses soon. “Hillwood’s AllianceTexas Flight Test Center provided a unique opportunity for us to conduct research and development efforts this summer, and now Frisco Station is an excellent spot for one of the first drone delivery facilities in a major U.S. metro,” said Jonathan Bass, head of marketing and communications for Wing. “We look forward to launching the commercial service here in the coming months, and to the continued partnership with Hillwood and Frisco Station.” | aerospace |

Aviation faculty members at Pennsylvania College of Technology have established a scholarship fund to assist students in the aviation maintenance technology bachelor-degree major.
Brett A. Reasner, associate professor of aviation, recently signed an agreement on behalf of the faculty to create the Aviation Maintenance Technology Scholarship. Reasner said the faculty members hope to receive at least $20,000 in donations to permanently endow the scholarship fund.
"Our aviation program exceeds the instructional requirements set by the Federal Aviation Administration, and this requires our students to take a high credit load per semester," Reasner said. "These additional scholarship dollars will help offset the financial need of our students."
"This will be another great asset to our aviation students," he added, noting that aviation maintenance technology students can also apply for awards from several annual (nonendowed) scholarship funds established by corporate sponsors.
The selection criteria for awards from the Aviation Maintenance Technology Scholarship will give preference to students who are enrolled full time in the second year of the aviation maintenance technology major with a minimum grade-point average of 3.0. Applicants will be required to submit a two-page essay on career goals.
Reasner said the size of awards from the Aviation Maintenance Technology Scholarship will be determined after the fund becomes endowed.
Supporters can make gifts to the Aviation Maintenance Technology Scholarship by mail: Penn College Institutional Advancement Office, One College Avenue, Williamsport, PA 17701-5799; or online.
For information about establishing scholarships or other ways of supporting Penn College students, call the Institutional Advancement Office at (570) 320-8000, or toll free (866) GIVE-2-PC; send e-mail or visit online. | aerospace |

How to license technology from defense laboratories
Through the Naval Postgraduate School, an officer has developed a rapid-fire launcher to deploy fixed-wing drone swarms. The technology is available to businesses for commercialization through a patent license agreement.
A developing mission area of particular interest to many in the defense and commercial sectors is UAV swarming, which requires multiple UAVs to be launched in a relatively short period of time.
The UAV launcher provides for the rapid launch of multiple UAVs safely, effectively, and in quick succession, and provides a compact design enhancing portability and allowing for relatively independent operation.

About AVRO 504K Fighter
The AVRO 504K is an American single-seat, low-wing monoplane fighter aircraft that was designed for the US Army Air Corps in the mid-1930s.
It was built by the Avro Aircraft Company of Canada and intended to be powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engine driving a three-bladed variable-pitch propeller. The Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engine was also made in Canada, but was not ready when the prototype AVRO 504K rolled out of the factory on 16 November 1936. The prototype, serial number "KP561", flew on 6 December 1936 with a different engine fitted instead.
Wiki AVRO 504K Fighter
The Avro 504 was a First World War biplaneaircraft made by the Avro aircraft company and under licence by others. Production during the war totalled 8,970 and continued for almost 20 years, making it the most-produced aircraft of any kind that served in any military capacity during the First World War. More than 10,000 were built from 1913 until production ended in 1932. Read more | aerospace |

In this post I will cover some of the best ways to build your flight experience.
- Become a Flight instructor: There's a saying that teaching is the best form of learning, become a CFI is the number one solution and the most popular, The amount of hours you will log monthly are going to be determined Depending how many licenses (CFI,CFII,MEI) you have and where you work . To become a CFI you really must study hard but once you gain your licenses you will be building your time and making some income while helping others to learn to fly. remind some else training and life is your main resposability, National average earning CFI Licenses are between US $4000 Just CFI TO US $13.000 For the three licenses (CFI,CFII,MEI)
- Share rental plane cost: in most locals FBO or flight schools you could rent a small piston airplane such as a cessna 152 for less than 80 dollars hour wet and in some cases you will be able to rent the plane by week if you flight a least 25 hours, remember split the cost in two with a friend or find some one who wants to build flight time too, there are even some places in south florida where offer 100 hours time building packages with a safety pilot for under US$4000 dollars.
- Safety Pilot: Sometimes a pilot need to a do fly with safety pilot in order to maintain current a license or rating like do 3 take off and landing or shut 3 instruments aproaches, go to a local airport FBO and ask or put a message on internet maybe someone interesting.
- Volunteering Fly for free: Offer yourself to in a non-profit organization like the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) that operates a small fleet of airplanes for seacrh and rescue operations, also a good way to build flight time is flying in a religion or non religion missionery flights organization in some cases and A&P license is necessary.
- Banner towing: you would be able to get a job with as low as 280 hours and get paid for your fliying time but in most cases you will need a banner towing training program that compliance with F.A.R. 91.113 and a tail wheel endorsement, training investment cost is something around US$3000 dollars.
- Aerial Photography: There are few opportunities but in some locals airport there are aerial photography businesses that offer services to real states companies or you can also fly for a professional photographer.
- Traffic watch pilot: some cities have traffic watch air companies that make reports for news and radio stations, you can get a job with a as low as 300 hours and your comercial license, you will be generally fliying a cessna 172 twice a day monday to friday on high peak traffic times.
- Skydiver Pilot: Some local skidiver companies required 500 hours TT because insurance policies, but sometimes you can get hired with less hours you just need to do your best research
- Aircraft Ferry Pilots:This is an amazing way to build your flight time and log a good amount of cross country hours fast, also it give you the opportunity to fly to new and wonderful places, there are some ferry pilot companies hiring low time pilots, but the best way to do it is doing it yourself offering your service on the internet or creating your website, there are many airplane buyers that needs to move a plane from one state to another state or even to other country; there a good market of delivering airplanes to south america and the caribbean.
- Aircraft Sales:Become an aircfraft saler you will be able to log some hours and make some income showing an airplane to potential buyers.
- Fly in other countries:There is a need of pilots specially in asia, the asia growing economics are sucking all the pilots from the rest of the world, by 2030 just the asia-pacific zone region is expected to have huge demand for aviation personnel a least 185.000 new pilot positions, in most places you wil have to convert your FAA liceses to local licenses, as a low time pilot forget a bout big companies start your searchfrom the bottom in small regional or charter carriers. also read my blogpost about low time bush pilot opportunities in africa here
- Buy a airplane: Time build in your own or share airplane. you can get a good small single engine operating low cost airplane such as a cessna 152,172 or a piper cherokeee for lower than $30.000 dollars on controller.com or trade-a-pane.com, buy it yourself or with a friend that also wants to time build and share aircraft operational cost, after you finish doing the hours you want put the plane back on sale and recover your investment. Here's a secret: Many flight schools don't even own their own airplanes.Instead, they back-lease aircraft from private owners, who get a share of the operation profit. If you'd like to own a airplane and make some cash at the same time, you might want to look into a back-lease program with a local flight school be careful check any contract agreement before you take this option.

Manufacturers utilizing TrueChem experience a significant decrease in part failures that could result in very expensive reworks, recalls, quarantines and/or scrap. Part failures could also result in major accidents/incidents where surface finishing of the failed part could be a root cause. Under such circumstances, one such incident at one facility could create an everlasting detrimental affect on a great number of people.
A simple example of iTrueLogic's ability to assist in preventing such problems would be demonstrating to key personnel when results from three consecutive analyses trend downward. This automatic recognition/notification action could have prevented an actual situation where more than three results were decreasing and a fourth analysis was missed. The next analysis showed the chemistry to be “out of spec,” which required thousands of parts to be retrieved from airplanes and quarantined, leading to significant test/rework/scrap expenses, and to extensive costs associated with administrative, QA, PR, and other support.
Accessing variable data from TrueChem can significantly reduce the probability of a major costly mistake, as well as improve efficiency and lower operating and maintenance costs. Companies such as the ones listed above utilize TrueChem to experience savings from improved process control. iTrueLogic users can access TrueChem data more quickly, making this powerful program even more significant in manufacturing process control. | aerospace |

ESA is lending a hand to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) by providing communication support and helping ISRO with new flight software.
ESA says that without communication support from ground stations, we can’t get any scientific data from a spacecraft during space missions. They have a network of deep space tracking stations worldwide, which follow international technical standards. This network helps them track, control, and receive data from spacecraft all over the solar system.
Ramesh Chellathurai, an ESA manager, said they’re using three big antennas in Australia, Spain, and Argentina, along with stations in French Guiana and the UK to support the Aditya-L1 mission.
ESA is the main provider of ground station services for Aditya-L1, and they’re supporting the solar mission from start to finish. They’re involved from the launch phase, throughout the journey to a special point near the Sun called L1, and even during routine operations for the next two years.
Aditya-L1 is a significant mission for India, following the successful Chandrayaan-3 lunar expedition. The satellite will spend 16 days in Earth’s orbit, during which it will perform five orbit maneuvers to gain the required speed. Then, it will start its journey towards the L1 point near the Sun, which is a stable location where the gravitational forces from the Earth and the Sun balance each other. This will help the satellite stay in place and conduct its scientific work. | aerospace |

Commercial aerospace, stimulated by Musk’s SPACEX, Starlink, and Mars programs, has developed in full swing in the past few years, including the field of launch vehicles, artificial satellites, and manned spaceflight. In the public’s perception, the main functions of artificial satellites are remote sensing, communication, and navigation to the ground. Chinese artificial satellite companies such as China Satellite Communication also do these three aspects of business. However, as the number of man-made satellites in the sky will increase significantly in the next few years, the amount of space junk will increase, which has aroused the public’s attention: Do man-made satellites have the ability to detect, collect, and recycle the air? Which institutions and Chinese companies are engaged in this area of business?
Today, the 36Kr reporter received an invitation from a Chinese satellite company “Origin Space” to visit its satellites that were going to the sky, and talked with the “Origin Space” team about business progress and commercial value. Regarding the company’s goals, The team said: “Our ultimate goal is the exploitation of space resources. The first thing we will achieve this year is space garbage recycling and space exploration.”
On April 6, 2020, the United States passed the Space Resources Act, reaffirming that American individuals and companies have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recycling and use of space resources to mine resources on the moon and asteroids, immediately following May 12, 2020 , NASA officially announced the “Artemis Accords”, including how to extract resources from the lunar surface and delimit safe areas. “There are dozens of space resource mining companies around the world. For example, PLANETARY RESOURCES and DSI are all seniors in the asteroid mining industry. MOONEXPRESS and ISPACE are both mining resources on the moon. Originspace is the only Chinese company that does space mining.” It is reported that the Origin of Space was founded in 2019 by Professor Su Meng, one of the two scientific applications of the “Wukong”. Professor Su Meng participated in the probe design demonstration of the American asteroid sampling return mission during MIT, and won one of the highest awards from the American Astronomical Society. One Bruno Rossi Prize, with profound academic and industrial background.
Origin of space recycling of space garbage
The satellite NEO-01 visited is to prepare for the development of asteroid mining technology. At the same time, the related technology of this mission can be used for space garbage recycling in the future. It is the first time that China’s open channels have the ability to collect and recover space garbage from the sky. The spacecraft is of great significance, so the development and launch of the satellite also deserve international attention. NEO-01 is equipped with a space collection device, and then drags the collected objects into the atmosphere and burns it; at the same time, it has a 150° large field of view camera to shoot the earth, and the shooting information is used for commercial purposes; and it has a smart phone inside. Yu tried to use mobile phones to wirelessly control satellite-related components, which is a future-oriented technology. It is a pity that the team can no longer disclose detailed technical information and this mission, so we have no way to know. NEO-01 will be launched in Taiyuan at the end of April.
The space garbage recycling satellite NEO-01 that originated in space
Talking about the business model and cash flow, the team said: “The main global commercial aerospace orders are still from governments and institutions. Originspace’s current revenue comes from the information captured by previously launched space exploration satellites. This information can be used for commercial purposes. Uses and research purposes. For the business models of NEO-01 and Wangwang-1, we can provide special space collection, recovery, and space exploration services, which were not available in previous satellite companies. Currently, we can There are three companies in the world that have this capability, Europe’s CLEARSPACE, Japan’s astroscale, and China’s origin space company. The Japanese company has raised about 200 million US dollars, and we are superior to our competition in terms of cost and efficiency. Opponents. From a business perspective, our future orders and cash flow are not a problem.”

It is reported that in the future, Origin will launch a special-function detection satellite this year. Looking up to the space optical/ultraviolet telescope No. 1 for air detection, this is my country’s first space optical telescope and will be fully integrated after launch. The world’s strongest UV detector with large field of view. | aerospace |

The new flight will take off from Juan Santamaria International Airport in Alajuela, Costa Rica, at 1:45 am. The early flight is aimed at clients that would like to make the Houston airport for flights heading to other locations in Europe and Asia by the morning. This flight will also reinforce United’s postion as the number one airline offering seats to and from Costa Rica.
United began offering non-stop flights bi-weekly from Washington-Dulles International Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport to San Jose, Costa Rica, in April of 2013, and continues to make its presence felt in Latin America. Also in 2013, United became the first airline to offer satellite-based WiFi services onboard its overseas flights, and has been endeavoring to improve the cabin space of its airplanes by adding more flat-bed seats in premium class and more leg room in economy class.
Along with United’s new red-eye flight, Southwest Airlines will be offering new flights in March of 2015 and later in October of 2015 respectively. | aerospace |

- TH 39 CY G
- Gift wrapping:
- Options available
The 39" Crack Yak-55 is finally here... the long awaited bigger brother to our well known Crack Yak-55 model. New wing core with tapered tips is one of the new features creating a much larger flight envelope for strong wind capabilities. Other items include added T-Canalizer and new SFG placement for amazing KE stability at any alpha. This is a fresh new ground up re-design. Chris Jewett's original world renowned 32" Crack Yak-55 has been our go to foamie and it is now crafted into a larger size for an even more intense flight envelope.
Those that are familiar with the previous 39” models will appreciate the new hardware and construction methods with adjustable push rod assemblies EPP bracing techniques for easy assembly. While creating a new ground up air-frame the duel aileron servos were re-located to create a plush/clean look. The over all flight envelope has increased greatly giving a sense of unreal control authority and increased roll rate was also achieved with the addition of outer counter balance tabs. This model was designed for the pilot wanting to learn the “next step” and also those who choose a balsa 3d model alternative. * Spinner not included *

This is the second foam plane I've built to try to learn 3D flying. All I can say is WOW!! I wish I'd started with this one (the other was not from TH). I enjoyed the build and flew it for the first time today - AWESOME!! I had high expectations and I'd say it met or exceeded them all. Excellent in every way! Take your time to build it straight & true and you will love this airplane - mine didn't even need one click of trim - perfect - makes me look way better at 3D than I know I am. I just want to fly all the time now!
Love this plane. I am an old guy and just getting into 3D. This airplane makes it seem easier than it really is. No more falling out of hovers and slow post stall flight like my other 3D planes. I can see improvement in my capabilities every day thanks to it.
I bought the power package and is perfectly matched. Seems to need a little more aileron throw than the stock arms provide. I can only get 35 degrees with my radio endpoints maxed out.
First flight was a breeze and my grandson flew it with ease.
coming from balsa models this was a joy to build and fly. Will not go to the field with out it, now what's next :-) | aerospace |

As part of the "PreciWind" project, images of wind turbine rotor blades are taken using optical cameras as well as thermographic cameras. In addition, the geometry of the rotor blades is measured with lasers. In order to minimize perspective distortions and to represent the flows on the surface, the image and geometry data have to be fused by assigning the images to the corresponding sections of the rotor blade surface. Appropriate algorithms have to be researched or developed and compared to achieve the lowest possible uncertainty in the mapping. | aerospace |

He’d double-checked the itinerary when he booked it. The email said it was a “direct” flight.
He was wrong.
“It wasn’t until a few days later, when I went to upgrade my seat that I found out that my flight wasn’t direct after all, that it contained a stop in San Diego on the way to Seattle,” he says. “I was furious because I carefully checked the Alaska site to make sure that wasn’t the case.”
(For the record, there’s a difference between a “direct” and a “non-stop” flight. A direct flight is any flight between two points by an airline with no change in flight numbers, and it may include a stop. A non-stop flights is a direct flight without landing. Pretty tricky, huh?)

Paul Wellstone and seven others, was a Beechcraft King Air -- one of the most popular families of turboprops flown by U.S. business and charter services.
Beech Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of Raytheon Co., introduced the King Air series in 1964 and still builds new models today. Wellstone was flying in an A100, which was in production from 1969 to 1977.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Friday that it was sending a nine-person team to northern Minnesota to begin investigating the crash.
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued maintenance directives for the A100 on issues ranging from cabin pressurization to wing-tip strobe lights. But Warren Morningstar, spokesman for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, an industry trade group, said he wasn't aware of any serious problems with the aircraft.
"The King Air series is really the workhorse of the industry," he said. According to Raytheon, which bought Beech in 1980, King Air captures more than 90 percent of the market share in its class of aircraft. Thousands are in service today.
Beech periodically updates the series and adds new models with different capabilities, Morningstar said.
According to Jane's Publishing Co., the A100's fuselage is 4 feet longer than its predecessor's, allowing for a larger cabin. The aircraft seats up to 13 passengers -- six to eight in executive versions. It cruises at 270 mph and has a range of 1,395 miles.
The A100 is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop engines paired with Hartzell propellers. Pratt Canada is a division of East Hartford-based Pratt & Whitney; its PT6 engines are popular with aircraft this size.
Beech, based in Witchita, Kan., built about 250 A100s before switching production to the B100, which had even more powerful engines. | aerospace |
