NASA’s new space exploration program, New Horizon’s is aptly named. Not only is it pushing the boundaries of space exploration by venturing as far out as Pluto, it is also approaching new horizons in technology by adopting several new circuits and electronic systems designed to make the trip out to Pluto a fruitful one.
Reliability is the name of the game when designing space exploration components and this is especially true of the data recording and computing components like electromechanical latching relays, power supplies, and RTSX-SU field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). A failure in any of those systems could mean the loss of vital data collected by NASA’s New Horizon’s spacecraft.
Sending a probe into that far into space is no small feat, it requires each electronic component to work at peak performance for long extended periods of time under harsh conditions. One of the most fundamental components that must remain in perfect condition for optimal data collection is the FPGAs.
FPGAs help control and automate communication systems, avionics, and other payload systems that are essential for the spacecraft’s operation. But their primary purpose is for managing the spacecraft’s imaging camera and light measurement capabilities. This will enable the New Horizon’s spacecraft to take high-resolution images of Pluto and conduct other readings like spectrometry calculations.
Naturally, before FPGAs can be placed into a functioning spacecraft and sent to Pluto, they are rigorously tested and hardened against radiation contamination and damage and are designed specifically to survive deep space and harsh conditions.
This requires highly precise light measurement, optical testing instruments capable of providing highly accurate and reliable readings to ensure that the systems are functioning at full capacity. Instrument Systems LumiCam 1300 Advanced and Konica Minolta Sensing’s CA-2500 2D Color Analyzer employ high-resolution CCD sensors that provide highly accurate luminance and chromaticity distributions of screens or control panels within seconds. These systems are used in the areas of research, development, quality assurance, and production and in different industries including, aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics.

Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
STORY: NASA Astronauts Steve Swanson and Rick Mastracchio ventured outside for a spacewalk on Wednesday (April 23). The International Space Station (ISS) spacewalk is a planned mission to install a spare backup computer that failed April 11. This is Swanson's 5th spacewalk and Mastracchio's 9th. The backup computer is known as a Multiplexer/Demultiplexer (MDM) and it is one of two MDMs that help control important functions on the ISS like the external cooling system and mobile transporter rail car, which is part of the docking procedure that attaches spacecraft to the space station. Both MDMs have been at the International Space Station for over 10 years. | aerospace |

The holiday was created in 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed that the United States should recognize the advancements made in aviation. Aviation a term that includes all the activities involved in building and flying aircraft, especially airplanes.
The particular date to celebrate National Aviation Day was chosen because it is the birthday of Orville Wright, who along with his brother Wilbur, invented and built the first successful airplane in 1903.
Airplanes are one of the most important inventions in history! Today, airplanes affect the lives of people almost everywhere in the world. Giant airliners carry passengers and cargo between the world's major cities in a matter of hours.
Wilbur Wright was born April 16, 1867, on a farm near New Castle, Indiana. His brother Orville was born Aug. 19, 1871, in Dayton, Ohio. They ran a successful business making bicycles, but they took an interest in flying in 1899. They soon became familiar with all the scientific knowledge of aeronautics then available. On Dec. 17, 1903, they made the world's first controlled flight in a machine that was piloted, power driven, and heavier than air. They flew this airplane near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. With Orville at the controls, the plane flew 120 feet (37 meters) on the first flight. By 1905, they had created a practical flying machine that could travel dozens of miles. Every modern airplane is based on the Wright brothers’ invention and the principles of flight they discovered.
Here are a few popular ways to observe National Aviation Day:
Visit an Aviation Museum: Many airport and airfields have museums of aviation. One of the biggest aviation museums is the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It is part of the Smithsonian Institution. This large museum features hundreds of exhibits on aviation and space flight.
National Aviation Day is a also great day to build a model airplane just for fun. Model airplanes range from simple toys made of wood and paper to scale models that can be flown.
Check out an aviation-themed book. Whether fact or fiction, a book about aviation is a thrilling read. You may want to read about aviation pioneers like the Wright brothers or American test pilot Chuck Yeager, the first person to fly an aircraft faster than the speed of sound. Or, you may want to read about how new airplanes are designed and built.

Many of the drones organizations or individuals were facing barriers to implementing their drones for the government or private sectors. These barriers would flatten by the recent presidential memo and the selected drone operators could be able to take the clear way to test their drones.
The selected organization or individuals would execute a trial program in association with government and private sectors. The administration pre-determined to approve at least five applications without the joining limit of the communities that can join.
Each program would be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA would hold the right to grant exemptions in the pre-existing rules such as flights over people, nighttime flights, and flights beyond the line of sight of the drone operator.
The testing applications comprise the package deliveries, Data-Link reliability between the air vehicle and the ground control station, collision avoidance technology to avoid the collisions between the drones and the manned aircraft and drone detection technology to detect the drones in restricted areas.
Michael Kratsios of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy told reporters in a conference call that the purpose of the trial program is to collect the data regarding the drone operation that will help to government officials to develop a separate air traffic control system for low altitude unmanned aircraft.
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said that the purpose of this program is to encourage the technological innovation that comprises the potential to change our everyday existence. Another sentence which added by her that during the emergency situation such as natural disaster, Drone can be considered as a life-saving tool. | aerospace |

The historic homecoming of the Sultan of Space, UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, after the longest Arab space mission, has been set for September 18.
“After astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi took Zayed’s Ambition into space, the time has come for him to return home. Stay tuned for his return to the UAE on September 18, following the completion of the longest Arab space mission in history,” the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center (MBRSC) announced on the X microblogging platform on Thursday. .
The 42-year-old Emirati, who blasted off into space on March 3, spent 186 days in space to complete the first long-duration manned space mission carried out by an Arab aboard the International Space Station (ISS). He scripted the story for the second time when he became the first Arab to perform a spacewalk, an Extravehicular Activity (EVA), in the vacuum of outer space outside the ISS on April 28.
Their mission was called Zayed Ambition 2 because it was the second edition of the UAE Astronaut Program which aimed to fulfill the ambition of the nation’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft
Al Neyadi and his NASA SpaceX Crew-6 crewmates returned to Earth aboard SpaceX’s Dragon Endeavor spacecraft, splashing down at 8:17 a.m. GST on September 4, off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. The four, who had orbited the Earth just under 3,000 orbits, then flew to Houston.
A senior official at MBRSC, the agency behind the UAE Astronaut Programme, then announced that Al Neyadi will fly to the UAE after two weeks.
During a conference call with NASA SpaceX media after the successful return of Crew-6 members to Earth, Adnan Al Rais, mission manager of the UAE Astronaut Program at MBRSC, said: “He [Al Neyadi] I’ll spend about 14 days here in Houston. And after that, he will be back in the UAE for almost a week.”
According to Salem Humaid Al Marri, Director General of the MBRSC, a grand reception is planned for the Sultan of Space, who returns home after successfully completing the longest Arab space mission.
After celebrations to commemorate his historic achievements, which include more than 200 scientific experiments in space, Al Neyadi will return to the United States, Al Rais confirmed.
“On the other hand, he will return here to Houston to continue conducting scientific experiments.”
From Earth to space and back
Currently undergoing a recovery program to readjust to Earth’s gravity, Al Neyadi and two of his Crew-6 colleagues, NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Woody Hoburg, spoke for the first time about their life in space and his return to Earth during a press conference broadcast on NASA TV Tuesday night.
From savoring mango salads and playing chess in space to struggling to hold a water bottle once back on Earth, Al Neyadi shared the joys of his life aboard the ISS and the challenges he faced upon his return.
Having lived for 184 days in weightlessness in the orbital laboratory’s microgravity environment, Al Neyadi said everything felt heavy after falling to Earth.
He also admitted that the feeling of weight even led him to give up drinking water from a bottle, as he preferred to minimize unnecessary movements.
He said: “I remember Steve gave me a bottle of water. He felt really heavy, like a ton. I just didn’t drink it because he didn’t want to move me much…”
However, he was surprised by how quickly the human body can adapt to the sudden change from microgravity to the Earth’s gravitational pull.
“It’s amazing how quickly you can improve,” he said, revealing that the recovery process unfolds every hour. | aerospace |

NASA NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has released a 50-second audio track on YouTube.
The sound was captured by Juno’s Waves instrument. There is a sudden increase in the pitch of the sound around 30 seconds in the video.
Researchers have explained that the sudden change in pitch is due to the movement of the spacecraft from one region of Ganymede’s magnetosphere to another.
William Kurth, an investigator at Juno, said the sudden change in the frequency of sound could be due to Ganymede’s move from night to day.
Like the Moon, the eyes of scientists are also on Mars. A large amount of water has also been found on Mars. According to a new study by the European Space Agency (ESA), water is hidden beneath the surface of the Valles Marineris Valley of Mars.
The European Space Agency (ESA) and the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) have discovered large amounts of water in this valley. Now TGO’s FREND (Fine Resolution Epithermal Neutron Detector) is investigating these discoveries by monitoring the hydrogen concentration in the topsoil of Mars. Hydrogen is the main indicator of water concentration. | aerospace |

History & Purpose
Formed in 1953 by the late Robert L. Taylor, our motto then as now is “Keep the antiques flying,” and that remains our mission, to help the owners, restorers, and pilots of antique and classic aircraft. Since its founding, the AAA has steadfastly followed the core principle of being a by the members, for the members organization.
- A successful effort to change regulations concerning registration markings on antique/classic aircraft in the 1960s.
- As a member of the National FAA Aging Aircraft Ad-Hoc Committee, the AAA helped draft AC 23-27; Parts and Materials Substitution for Vintage Aircraft.
- Winning the landmark SCOTUS case, Taylor v Sturgell, concerning access to FAA FAA-approved data/drawings for antique/classic aircraft.
So, whether it’s our insurance program for the owners of antique and classic aircraft through Butler-Brown Insurance (both aircraft and life), our membership publication: the Antique Airfield Runway, the new/improved website, our Facebook page, our monthly “Brent’s Blast” e-mail to keep our members up to date, or our long and continued advocacy on behalf of all owners of antique/classic aircraft, the AAA remains dedicated to aviation’s Golden Age.
Join us and personally have a voice in helping to “Keep the Antiques Flying.”
Where We Started
The first aircraft to ever grace the grass here at IA27 was AAA Founder Robert L. Taylor’s 1939 Porterfield CP-50, on June 20, 1970. At that time Antique Airfield consisted of the 1600 ft E-W runway, and Hangar #1… that’s it!
Back then, our affiliate organization, the Air Power Museum Inc. (APM), had yet to buy the adjacent property, build the museum facilities, and move from the Ottumwa Airport. There was no N-S runway, campgrounds, shower houses, AAA Headquarters, Hangar #2, 24th Fighter Sqd. Mess Hall, Pilot’s Pub, or even much area for aircraft parking.
It’s hard to imagine that 50 years have passed, but thanks to our supporters, the Antique Airfield is known worldwide as the center and home of the antique/classic airplane movement and continues to grow and improve. Thank you to those who made that possible: our staff, directors, loyal and hard-working volunteers, donors, and AAA members.
In 2020, we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Antique Airfield itself. As such the AAA/APM Invitational Fly-in will continue to reflect, yet reinforce, what the event is traditionally all about, and celebrate what makes it distinctly different from all other aviation events, all while looking forward and growing. | aerospace |

Just last year, the company implemented a Kickstarter campaign to send a virtual reality camera to the International Space Station. They couldn’t acquire the necessary funding to do so, but no matter. SpaceVR has bolder plans in mind – filming their own virtual reality content from a satellite, essentially giving the company bragging rights to the world’s first virtual reality satellite camera.
With sights set on launching this virtual reality satellite as early as 2017, SpaceVR is re-upping their Kickstarter campaign and seeking outside seed funding in order to make their ambitious VR project come to fruition. The switch from sending a camera to the ISS and simply building their own satellite camera all came down to one crucial aspect: control. With their own satellite, SpaceVR wouldn’t be dependent on the astronauts’ time, which is already a sparsely available resource. Having complete control over a satellite allows SpaceVR to constantly create content without being shackled to the time-crunched astronauts on the ISS.
Dubbed Overview 1, this small, cube-shaped satellite is equipped with two 4K sensors with super wide field of view lenses that will each film footage overlapping with the other lenses. SpaceVR will work on editing and stitching together all of that footage recorded from Overview 1, adding production values to create a polished product. The SpaceVR team has complete autonomy over Overview 1, uploading the satellite with specific schedules that will direct when and where the satellite records footage, and then directly beaming that footage back to Earth.
“It’s definitely different, but I think in the long run it’s a lot better for everyone,” said Ryan Holmes, CEO of SpaceVR. “Now we have the ability to really immerse someone in space as if they were floating outside, which I believe is what most of our backers are really interested in anyway.” When Overview 1 is officially launched into space, the goal is for it to capture a number of two-minute time-lapse clips each week that will be available to backers shortly thereafter. The endgame for SpaceVR’s venture would be to live stream footage 24/7 from space, which co-founder Isaac DeSouza says would be “like Netflix, except you get to go to space.” Binging on space could become the next great pastime. | aerospace |

Hundreds of air passengers saw their holiday travel plans disrupted Sunday and early Monday when a piece of Federal Aviation Administration-owned equipment failed, airport officials said Monday morning.
Allan Penksa, CEO at the Gainesville Regional Airport, said a component called the glide slope transmitter -- instrument landing system equipment on the ground that sends a signal to pilots attempting to land in bad weather -- was found to not be working sometime between the late morning and noon Sunday.
FAA officials had the equipment fixed by about 7:30 p.m., but by that time, airlines had already diverted some flights, Penksa said. And since jets that weren't on the ground overnight like they ordinarily would have been, Monday morning's earliest flights were also disrupted.
All told, 14 Delta, U.S. Air and American flights were diverted to Jacksonville or Orlando or canceled, airport officials said.
By mid-morning, airport operations were returning to normal, Penksa said.
“It's just a tough situation -- especially this time of year,” he said.
Penksa said airport officials are looking into whether there was any undue delay in getting the FAA's equipment repaired. | aerospace |

Whitson headed to the center backbone of the station’s exterior framework where the failed computer is located. The 50-pound (23 kg) computer, which is about the size of a microwave oven, is one of two that control equipment, including solar power panels, cooling loops, radiators and robotics gear, on the US side of the station.
The loss of one of the computers on Saturday did not affect station operations or pose a risk to the crew, but NASA managers wanted to restore a backup as quickly as possible, said mission commentator Rob Navias.
While Whitson replaced the failed computer, Fischer installed a pair of wireless communications antennas onto the outside of the US Destiny laboratory, one of three research modules aboard the $100 billion station, a project of 15 nations.
The spacewalk, scheduled to last just 2.5 hours, will move Whitson, a veteran of 10 previous outings, to third on the list of the world’s most experienced spacewalkers, behind Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Solovyev and NASA’s Mike Lopez-Alegria.
Whitson and former station flight engineer Shane Kimbrough installed the failed computer during a March 30 spacewalk.
“No insight into what the problem is yet,” NASA spokesman Dan Huot wrote in an email. “Likely won’t know more until someone has the chance to do diagnostics on it.”

Helicopter Ownership Cost
Helicopter ownership cost varies greatly. It depends on the type and size of the helicopter, as well as its age and condition.
The cost of purchasing a new helicopter can range from several thousand dollars to over $20 million. On top of purchase costs, there are also maintenance fees, pilot salaries, fuel expenses, hangar fees, and insurance premiums to consider.
If you are looking to purchase a helicopter for personal or business use, it is important to factor in all of these potential expenses and determine if helicopter ownership fits within your budget.
Renting or leasing a helicopter can also be a viable alternative, as this can often be a more cost-effective option.
Ultimately, owning a helicopter can provide convenience and flexibility, but it is important to thoroughly assess the financial commitment before making a decision.
Role of Helicopters in an Urban Environment
Helicopters have been used in urban areas for various purposes, including emergency services, traffic monitoring, news coverage, and transportation.
In emergency situations, helicopters can quickly access areas that may be difficult for ground vehicles to reach, allowing for swift response and rescue efforts.
Additionally, helicopters can provide aerial surveillance for traffic control, helping to alleviate congestion on the ground.
In industries such as news reporting and transportation, helicopters provide a fast and efficient way to travel over congested city streets.
Overall, helicopters play an important role in urban mobility by providing timely responses to emergencies, aiding in traffic management, and offering alternative methods of transportation.
Will Electric Flying Taxis Replace Helicopters?
It’s possible, but not necessarily in the immediate future.
Electric flying taxis promise a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative to traditional helicopters, but there are still hurdles to overcome before they can fully replace helicopters.
One factor is infrastructure – electric flying taxis require specialized charging stations and landing pads, which will take time and resources to build.
Additionally, there still needs to be more testing and regulation for electric flying taxis to ensure the safety of passengers and those on the ground.
However, as technology and infrastructure continue to develop, it’s likely that electric flying taxis will eventually become a strong competitor to helicopters.
Future Role of Helicopters in Air Transport
Helicopters have a unique capability in that they can hover and land in areas inaccessible to fixed-wing aircraft, making them valuable for search and rescue operations, emergency medical services, and even military missions.
However, they have traditionally been limited in their passenger-carrying capacity and range compared to fixed-wing aircraft.
Advances in technology and design, including the use of composite materials, have increased the passenger-carrying capability and range of helicopters.
This, combined with their ability to land in urban areas and on offshore platforms, could lead to an expanded role for helicopters in urban air transportation, particularly for business travelers.
In addition, with their ability to hover and land in remote areas, helicopters could play a larger role in tourism, particularly in regions with challenging terrains, such as mountainous areas.
Overall, while helicopters may never achieve the same status as fixed-wing aircraft in air transportation, their unique capabilities make them valuable players in the future of air transport.
It will be interesting to see how they continue to evolve and expand their role in the industry.

Those interested in all things aviation are in for a treat at the Fitchburg Pilots Association sponsored event being held on June 18 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the FPA hangar at the Fitchburg Municipal Airport. Various static aviation displays and the chance to talk to the pilots who fly the aircraft, airport tours, a flight simulator, and the opportunity to learn about general aviation and more will be featured. Representatives from the Sterling based Greater Boston Soaring Club will also be on hand with a glider to climb into and check out.
UMass Memorial Life Flight will have two of their medical evaluation helicopters available to inspect and the Fitchburg Fire Department will have their special “smoke house” and a firefighter for kids to experience a non-toxic smoke-filled room as well as snacks and beverages available for a small fee.
Inside the hangar kids will be able to use a professional flight simulator with a pilot coaching them and the Fitchburg Radio Control Club will have samples of RC aircraft and club members who will be happy to explain how the modern radio-controlled models work.
In addition, children ages eight through 17 are welcome to register to book a specific time to fly in a private two or four place aircraft with one of the FPA pilots. The idea behind the free, national-sponsored Young Eagles activity that has 50 slots open is to encourage interest in aviation and STEM and perhaps a career in aviation.
“For most of them, this will be their first flight in a small plane, or perhaps any plane,” said FPA President Daniel Walton. “What a great way to kickstart their interest in aviation. These may be our airline captains of the future.”
While people are waiting for activities there will be tractor driven guided hayride tours of the airport so folks can see the aviation side of the field. A tour narrator will point out the many facets and facts about flying operations at the airport, such as departure and arrival procedures, fueling aircraft, and routine maintenance.
Civil Air Patrol cadets will be there helping with crowd control and managing parking at the event held with the cooperation of the Fitchburg Airport Commission and Interim Airport Manager Peter Kettle.
The last Aero Fair held in 2019 drew upwards of 1,000 people to the airport. Members of the FPA, which is made up of 100 area pilots, are thrilled to be able to welcome people back to the aviation showcase that will also provide a window into the workings of the airport.
“It raises the visibility of the airport to the community,” Walton expressed of the benefits of the yearly event. “Many people drive down Crawford Street daily without realizing that the airport contributes $17.7 million to the local economy. The city’s recent investment, increasing the runway length, is only going to increase this as it has led to significantly more bizjets bringing in executives to visit Fitchburg, Leominster, and Lunenburg.”
Walton conveyed that the FPA pilots “share the love of aviation and flying together” and enjoy sponsoring community events such as the Aero Fair, Young Eagles, and Santa Fest at their large hangar. | aerospace |

Atlantis, which landed Friday after a trip to the International Space Station, is scheduled to make its last trip in May. Barring delays or a change of heart from Congress and the White House, the other two shuttles, Discovery and Endeavor, also will be grounded for good by this time next year.
Unfortunately, the economic turmoil for Florida's Space Coast is just getting started. Shuttle contractors for NASA already have begun cutting jobs there in anticipation of the program's end. Last month, more than 250 positions were eliminated.
If shuttles are retired as planned, a small army of highly skilled, well-paid workers will lose their jobs; NASA has put the number at 7,000. Thousands more jobs that depend on them also will disappear. It could be five years or more before the next manned space program, Constellation, is ready to launch from Kennedy Space Center.
With such a disaster looming for the region's economy, it's imperative for federal, state and local officials together to explore every reasonable opportunity to keep this work force employed and productive.
Such an opportunity was proposed recently by the head of Space Florida, the agency charged with developing the industry in the state, and the president of United Space Alliance, the shuttle's lead private contractor. Under their proposal, NASA would transfer to another government agency — perhaps to Space Florida — its Shuttle Logistics Depot, a Cape Canaveral complex of machine shops and labs that have supported the program.
United Space Alliance would then use the complex, its equipment and — most important — its work force of 300 engineers, technicians and machinists to produce and refurbish equipment for the U.S. military. There's billions of dollars of this kind of work to be done because of the long U.S. deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Space Florida's president, Frank DiBello, says there's also a shortage of skilled manufacturing and refurbishing contractors for the military.
The transformation of the complex wouldn't be easy. It has been fabricating a small number of parts for NASA. As a military supplier, it would be making parts by the hundreds or thousands. And United Space Alliance would have to compete with other military contractors for work. But in demonstration projects, the complex already has produced equipment for the Air Force and the Army. It could compete for commercial jobs, too.
NASA would have to agree to hand over the complex — that's unlikely before the Obama administration officially comes out with its own plan for space sometime in the next few months. Some federal and state money might be needed to help the complex and its work force make the transformation.
There are many details to be worked out. But if planners can make the case that the project is worthy of public dollars, members of Congress from Florida and state legislators should be ready to go to bat for it.
If this seems like a lot of trouble for 300 jobs, DiBello believes the work force at the complex could multiply over time, and could create other high-wage jobs as suppliers spring up nearby to serve it.
The Space Coast will not find one or two employers to hire the thousands of workers left idle by NASA. The region will need to rebuild its economy piece by piece. Its leaders don't have any time to waste. | aerospace |

By SHAWN T. CRUZEN — Special to the Ledger-Enquirer
On April 28, history was made high above the California desert. For the first time, a vessel designed specifically to take tourists into space fired its engine and achieved rocket-powered flight, breaking the sound barrier in the process. Rocket planes blazing above desert skies should remind us all of the days when Chuck Yeager and Scott Crossfield shattered Mach 1, and then Mach 2, and America was the clear leader in aerospace advancements.
However, the most recent remarkable feat was not orchestrated by a nation or government, but by a billionaire entrepreneur, Sir Richard Branson, CEO of the Virgin group. Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo took one giant leap forward toward becoming the first-ever privately financed spacecraft to carry humans into space. The company projects it will fly the first private tourists into space in less than a year. Virgin Galactic and other companies, like SpaceX, XCOR Aerospace and Orbital Sciences, are the vanguard of a burgeoning commercial space industry that is coming of age in the wake of changes at NASA.
What does any of this have to do with Georgia? Well, potentially plenty.
Georgia is ideally situated, in terms of both geography and infrastructure, to locate a commercial spaceport. Our southern latitude is important because spacecraft get an additional boost from Earth’s rotation the farther south they launch. Also, launching spacecraft over the ocean, rather than heavily populated land areas, reduces the risk. Where can you find a southeastern coastline? Georgia. These geographical assets are further enhanced with barge access to the Atlantic, a superior interstate system, and the world’s busiest airport nearby. Combine these benefits with a population of 85,000 aerospace workers in the state and an outstanding university system to train and enhance the next generation workforce, and Georgia presents a highly attractive package for space entrepreneurs. Few people today realize that in 1960, when NASA was looking for a site to launch rockets, Georgia was on the short list for many of these reasons.
It seems that Georgia may yet have a space destiny. In 1998 a committee of the Georgia Senate studied aerospace development and commercial space activities. One of their recommendations was for Georgia to develop a space launch facility. In 2008, the Georgia Military Affairs Committee commissioned a private firm to do a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis in preparation for another round of BRAC assessment. The company also was asked to make recommendations for industries that were a great fit for Georgia. When the study was finalized, two industries were strongly recommended; unmanned vehicles and space.
Based on the 2008 recommendations, the Georgia Space Working Group was formed. They did their own SWOT analysis of space activities across the nation and particularly in Georgia. The results showed the space industry in the United States was an $80 billion dollar business, but Georgia had less than .5% of that business. Georgia’s great aerospace industry has a far larger focus on aviation, and less on spaceflight. | aerospace |

Drones might also pose a risk to aircraft that are landing or taking off - which is why flying model aircraft is banned within 5km of an airport or airbase, said a spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). This includes areas such as Pasir Ris,Tampines, Ang Mo Kio, Woodlands and Boon Lay. Outside the 5km limit, model aircraft, including drones, cannot fly above 61m. To fly within the 5km limit or above 61m, permission from CAAS is needed. Photo-taking in the air or flying any unmanned aircraft that weighs more than 7kg requires authorisation as well. Even then, unmanned aircraft operators are expected to take precautions to ensure their craft do not pose a hazard to aircraft, people or property, the CAAS spokesman said. Those who flout the rules can be fined up to $20,000. Repeat offenders can be fined up to $40,000, jailed for up to 15 months, or both. | aerospace |

This document contains practical guidelines for the automeshing of elliptical or semi-elliptical cracks in StressCheck, balancing best practices with mesh density and solve time. These guidelines are most applicable when the crack front curve object is of type ellipse (i.e. “ELL”). For a curve object type of spline (i.e. “BSP”) or other, a similar process can be followed to generate reasonable automeshes for the computation of fracture mechanics parameters.

Aviation Week recognizes composite leaders in MRO distinguished by performance, innovation and service.
Airbus (Toulouse, France) expects the services market to recover to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 and to double in value over the next 20 years — from $95 billion today to more than $230 billion in 2041, according to its latest Global Services Forecast (GSF) (additional information and infographics found here). As a result, the number of people working in aviation services, keeping the world’s fleets flying on a daily basis, is set to increase by a further two million.
“Every day millions of people in services, hidden champions behind the scenes, keep our global fleet of aircraft flying. Alone, the number of pilots, cabin crews and maintenance specialists is set to grow by a further two million by 2041,” Philippe Mhun, Airbus EVP Programmes and Services says. “Accelerated digitalization of operations and maintenance as well as a higher proportion of latest generation aircraft in service will lead to a massive requirement for new skills and job creation, leveraging new tools and ways of working in order to further increase our sector’s efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and emissions.”
Airbus says a compounded annual growth rate of 3.7%, will lead to a doubling in the value of the services market in the next two decades with a bigger-than-ever demand for highly skilled labor: 585,000 new pilots, 640,000 new technicians and 875,000 new cabin crews.
As operators focus more on their core business, services to improve aircraft availability and efficiency will increasingly be outsourced, boosting the market for those providers. These services will be driven by sustainability and enabled by digitalization, connectivity and innovation, to maximize efficiency in support of CO2 net-zero ambitions.
“The GSF confirms our strategy and we are ready,” Mhun continues. “Customer experience is our priority. Customer value will be underpinned by excellence in sustainable services and new energy transition, fully leveraging our Airbus Skywise digital capabilities. Aviation services will remain one of the most advanced and international industries, keeping our customers and society at large at the heart of our operations.”
Such aviation services are being recognized by Aviation Week Network’s MRO Asia-Pacific Awards 2022, celebrating individuals and organizations that have distinguished themselves through outstanding performance, innovation and service in maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).

Asteroids are believed to have formed at the dawn of the solar system and scientists say Ryugu may contain organic matter that may have contributed to life on Earth.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) associate professor Yuichi Tsuda holds a banner reading "success" in front of an image of the Hayabusa 2 space probe's landing on the Ryugu asteroid, 340 million kilometers from Earth, at JAXA's facility in Sagamihara, south of Tokyo, Japan, in this photo taken by Kyodo February 22, 2019.
The Hayabusa-2 probe will try to grab some of the 1km-wide asteroid, Ryugu.Читайте также: Trump coming to Japan for new Emperor enthronement and G20 summit
Hayabusa2 will eventually fire an "impactor" to blast out material from underneath Ryugu's surface, allowing the collection of "fresh" materials unexposed to millennia of wind and radiation. In addition to making sure that the spacecraft would still be able to collect its surface samples, mission scientists were also able to reassess its landing site.
The 600-kg Hayabusa2, which was launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in southwestern Japan in December 2014, has experienced no problems up until now, throughout its journey totaling 3.2 billion km.
The Japanese Hayabusa2 spacecraft has completed one of its most exciting challenges yet: On Thursday evening, it touched down on the asteroid Ryugu, fired a tantalum bullet into the rocky surface, and ascended back into orbit around the tiny world, according to updates from the mission's English-language Twitter account.
Earlier in September previous year, JAXA successfully landed two miniature rovers on the surface of Asteroid Ryugu.При любом использовании материалов сайта и дочерних проектов, гиперссылка на обязательна.

Air Tahiti Nui and OpenAirlines signed a contract to implement the software, SkyBreathe Fuel Efficiency, in order to allow the airline to save 2 to 5% of fuel consumption. Taking in account that air transport is responsible for more than 2% of CO2 emissions worldwide (equivalent of Germany's CO2 emissions) as well as 30% of an airline costs, implementing SkyBreathe is a must.
Thanks to big data and smart algorithms, the software automatically gather and analyses large amount of available data in flight data recorders, maintenance data, flight plan software, OCC, etc. to compute very accurately each flight consumption and indicate precisely opportunities to save more fuel, based on the airline SOP's and best practices. Synthetic and detailed dashboards are automatically available for the management chain to take the good decisions. Each pilot can use the native iPad application MyFuelCoach which allows them to replay their flight in 3D and improve their performances in terms of fuel efficiency.
In May 2015, Air Tahiti Nui announced its intention to replace its entire fleet, currently consisting of five Airbus A340-300s. They will be replaced by four Boeing 787-9s, less greedy in fuel. Combined with SkyBreathe Fuel Efficiency solution, this decision will push Air Tahiti Nui to reach a new level of exceptional performances and benefits. | aerospace |

The Air Force's unmanned, reusable space plane landed in the early morning of June 16 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., a successful conclusion to a record-setting test-flight mission that began March 5 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. (U.S. Air Force file photo)
For carrying out on-orbit experiments, the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle remained 469 days in orbit.
The X-37B program manager, Lt. Col. Tom McIntyre says that the vehicle has been designed to perform 270 days-long mission. According to the first mission’s post-flight assessments, OTV-1 may have remained in orbit for more time. This mission’s objective is to devise ways to extend the on-orbit duration.
The X-37B program is coordinated by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. This program includes experimentation, risk reduction, and operations development concept that support reusable space vehicle technologies. Following the NASA Discovery shuttle program, the X-37B mission is the longest space mission.
Weighing 11,000-lb, around a fourth the size of the shuttle, this advanced vehicle enables space technology experts to conduct the experiments consistently. The results however return to Earth securely for study.
McIntyre continues that the X-37B OTV program provides the space technology development with singular capability, following the completion of the space shuttle fleet. With this return capability, the Air Force can easily and efficiently test new technologies.
Primarily a NASA initiative, this vehicle was transferred to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 2004. Soon after its 2006 debut launch, the vehicle became renowned for its innovative technologies like the high-temperature components and seals, auto de-orbit capability, and thermal protection tiles. | aerospace |

In July 1944, at the height of World War II, the unthinkable happened in Merriam, Kan. After flying unusually low, a B-24J Liberator Bomber crashed into a neighborhood of homes. Three people aboard the bomber were killed. Six aboard and on the ground were injured, four homes were heavily damaged, and a fifth house was destroyed. What caused the plane to crash? And why was it flying over Johnson County in the first place?
The bomber, which left Lincoln Army Air Field in Lincoln, Neb. on July 26, 1944, was under the command of and piloted by 2nd Lt. Kenneth H. Keech, a 1940 graduate of Shawnee Mission Rural High School. Keech and his crew of five were preparing to go to Europe to fight during World War II. The July 26 flight was to be their last test run – an opportunity to calibrate the bomber’s compass. The Army Air Forces had instructed the crew to fly at 7,000 feet and within 100 miles of the air field. | aerospace |

JIMO (Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter) is Proposed for Flight in 2015. JIMO is an ambitious mission to fly a spacecraft out to Jupiter, orbit three of its planet-sized moons, and study the vast saltwater oceans locked under their icy surfaces. JIMO will visit Callisto first, then Ganymede, and then Europa.
The Electric Ion Propulsion System (Image credit: NASA)JIMO designers will use the electric drive system known as ion propulsion to power it to Jupiter. That kind of drive previously was used successfully by NASA's Deep Space 1 mission, which demonstrated it for interplanetary travel. (Deep Space 1 was launched in 1998. It flew by Asteroid 9969 Braille in 1999 and then by Comet Borrelly in 2001.)
Deep Space 1 drew electricity for its thrusters from solar panels. JIMO would draw its electricity from a nuclear fission reactor. Heat from JIMO's nuclear fission reactor is converted to electricity, giving the probe more than 100 times as much power as a non-fission system of comparable weight.
JIMO will increase dramatically NASA's capability for space exploration. That technology will make it possible to consider such a large-scale mission as orbiting the moons of Jupiter one after the other. It also will open all of the vast unexplored regions of the outer Solar System for exploration.
Note from Technophile: Such a mission as JIMO poses extreme technical challenges, the main one being: It takes an enormous amount of propulsive ability (in other words rocket fuel) to reach Jupiter, then descend into its gravity well and enter orbit around Europa and the other moons. NASA will spend $2 billion over the next few years to develop a fleet of nuclear-powered spacecraft. No one knows what the program will eventually cost (certainly several billions). But NASA and the US administration is solidly behind the project, dubbed Prometheus (after the thief of fire from the gods, who gave it to man). Already three contracts, each worth $6 million, have been awarded to industrial contractors for early studies. JIMO will be the first of these spacecraft.Source: [AerospaceGuide.net] | aerospace |
http://www.airplanemart.com/aircraft-history-and-specification/Aeronca-15AC-Sedan.php | 2019-07-22T08:26:22 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-30/segments/1563195527828.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20190722072309-20190722094309-00522.warc.gz | 0.946553 | 2,105 | CC-MAIN-2019-30 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-30__0__31745054 | en | The Aeronca 15AC Sedan is a four-seat, fixed conventional gear light airplane which was produced in the United States between 1948 and 1951. Designed by Aeronca for personal use, the Sedan also found applications in utility roles including bush flying. The Sedan was the last design that Aeronca put into production and was the largest aircraft produced by the company.
Design and development
Like those of other Aeronca designs, the Sedan’s fuselage and tail surfaces are constructed of welded metal tubing. The outer shape of the fuselage is created by a combination of wooden formers and longerons, covered with fabric. The cross-section of the metal fuselage truss is triangular, a design feature which can be traced back to the earliest Aeronca C-2 design of the late 1920s.
In a significant design departure from previous Aeronca aircraft, the strut-braced wings of the Sedan are all-metal assemblies. Such combinations of construction types were not common. While the Sedan mated a fabric-covered fuselage to all-metal wings, the contemporary Cessna 170 mated an all-metal fuselage to fabric-covered wings. Also unique to the Sedan, among Aeronca designs, are the single-piece wing struts.
The landing gear of the Sedan is in a conventional arrangement, with steel tube main gear, and a steerable tailwheel. Unlike its siblings the Champ and Chief, both of which employ oleo struts for shock absorption, the Sedan makes used of bungee cords to absorb landing and taxi loads.
The Sedan is powered by the Continental C-145-2 or Continental O-300-A engine of 145 horsepower (108 kW); the Franklin 6A4-165-B3 and Franklin 6A4-150-B3, of 165 and 150 horsepower (110 kW), respectively, are also approved for installation. The Sedan features an electrical system, including a starter, as standard equipment.
As it had with many of its other models, Aeronca certified a seaplane version of the Sedan, the model S15AC. While the standard Sedan was equipped with a single entry door on the right side, the seaplane version offered a left-side door as well.
More than 50 Supplemental Type Certificate modifications are available for the Sedan, many of these intended to modernize the aircraft. One, sold by the current owner of the Sedan design, replaces many of the components ahead of the firewall with updated versions, including a Lycoming O-360-A1A engine of 180 horsepower (130 kW), a constant speed propeller, a new engine mount, and a fiberglass cowling. A second modification from the design holder allows the removal of the oil cooler, which can break and for which there are no replacements available.
Entering production in 1948, the 15AC Sedan was Aeronca’s four-seat addition to its pair of two-seat airplanes, the Champ and Chief, both of which had entered production in 1946. The four-place design gave Aeronca a lineup similar to that of its competitors. Many other companies with two-place designs had been adding four-place versions. Among these four-place competitors were the Cessna 170, PA-14 Family Cruiser, Stinson 108, Taylorcraft 15 and the Luscombe 11A Silvaire Sedan.
The Aeronca Sedan was produced from 1948 until 1951, when Aeronca ceased all production of light aircraft. The Sedan production line shut down in 1950, but Sedans were still being assembled in 1951 from the remaining stock of parts. The last Sedan, which was also the last Aeronca-built airplane to fly, left the factory on October 23, 1951.
Though Aeronca sold a number of its other designs after ceasing production, the company long maintained ownership of the Sedan. The HAOP-27 Krishak, built by Hindustan Aeronautics, shows some similarities to the Sedan. Some sources say that the Krishak was produced under license from Aeronca, though the differences are significant enough to call this into question.
Aeronca finally parted with the design on 11 April 1991, selling it to (according to Federal Aviation Administration records) “William Brad Mitchell or Sandra Mitchell”. On 10 July 2000, ownership of the design passed to Burl A. Rogers, owner of Burl's Aircraft of Chugiak, Alaska. Since 2000 Burl's Aircraft has provided parts and technical support to Sedan owners and operators.
Burl's Aircraft production
On February 21, 2008, Burl's Aircraft announced that the company was building new Sedan fuselages and a new style fuel valve. On December 8, 2009, Burl's Aircraft announced that they were commencing building new 15AC Sedans.
Since Aeronca still exists, but no longer holds the type certificate, the new production aircraft will be marketed by Burl A. Rogers and Burl's Aircraft LLC as the Rogers 15AC Sedan.
The Sedan was designed to be a docile airplane but also a good performer. Pilots found that the Sedan, with its large interior, had plenty of room for baggage and passengers. With its large wing, it had good takeoff performance, and was capable of short takeoff and landing operations. It found a niche as a personal aircraft and in commercial bush flying roles; it could also be equipped for agricultural work. Though the commercial roles have been largely taken over by more modern designs, many Sedans remain in use as personal airplanes. Their ongoing operation is aided by the availability of support from the design owner.
A Sedan was chosen by pilots Bill Barris and Dick Riedel for their attempt to set a time aloft record in 1949. Their flight was sponsored by the local chamber of commerce and the Sunkist growers association, the second sponsor accounting for the naming of the aircraft as the Sunkist Lady. (The accompanying support aircraft, also a Sedan, was called the Lady’s Maid.) Departing from the Fullerton, California, Municipal Airport on March 15, the flight crossed the United States to Miami, Florida, where bad weather forced the pilots to circle for 14 days before making the return trip to Fullerton. Along the way, fuel and food were passed from vehicles on the ground to the pilots during low passes over airport runways. Having reached Fullerton on April 11, the pilots kept flying around the local area until April 26, finally landing at Fullerton Municipal Airport and setting a record of over 1,008 hours, or 42 days, in the air.
The Fullerton record was short lived. Inspired by the flight at Fullerton, later in 1949, Yuma, Arizona, decided to sponsor its own time aloft record attempt. The city needed publicity as it was experiencing economic hard times due to the 1946 closure of Yuma Army Air Field. Pilots Woody Jongeward and Bob Woodhouse piloted the City of Yuma, a Sedan borrowed from local owners, modified for the flight and painted with the slogan, “The City with a Future.” The flight began on August 24, with the aircraft remaining in the Yuma area throughout, and ended after more than 1,124 hours, or nearly 47 days in the air, on October 10. In 1997, the record-setting airplane was located and returned to Yuma; made airworthy again, it flew on October 10, 1999, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the record flight. The "City of Yuma" airplane is now on display at a museum in Yuma.

This is accomplished by analysing historical data, crew performance indicators, and other pertinent aspects.
4. Route Optimization: Airlines can analyse historical data, trends of passenger demand, and other pertinent elements to optimise aircraft routes with the help of data analytics. Airlines can lessen flight delays, use less fuel, and operate more efficiently overall by determining the most effective routes and modifying flight schedules appropriately.
5. Customer Experience and Revenue Optimization: Airlines may personalise services, enhance the customer experience, and maximise revenue production by analysing customer data such as preferences, criticism, and purchasing history. Airlines may maximise customer satisfaction and profitability by using data analytics to determine customer patterns, segment the customer base, and establish focused marketing strategies.
6. Supply Chain Management: Data analytics can be used to streamline the intricate supply chain in the aviation sector. Airlines can streamline the procurement process, lower inventory costs, and boost overall supply chain effectiveness by analysing data on inventory levels, maintenance schedules, and supplier performance.
7. Safety and Risk Management: In the aviation sector, data analytics can improve safety and risk management procedures. Airlines can detect possible risks, put in place preventive safety measures, and enhance overall safety performance by analysing safety-related data such as incident reports, maintenance records, and meteorological conditions.
The aviation sector needs to make investments in reliable data gathering systems, data integration capabilities, and cutting-edge analytics tools in order to efficiently use data analytics for operational efficiency. The successful application of data analytics in the aviation sector also depends on industry stakeholder cooperation, data sharing efforts, and adherence to data privacy and security regulations.

Total flight time each way is about 8 hours.
While its not the best time of year to fly to Central America or the Caribbean, direct flights to Europe can be a welcome alternative, especially in the fall, before the northern parts of Europe get too cold.
It looks like this flight price to Brussels will continue through December, so you could even book a flight around then, then catch a train south into the German, Swiss, or French alps.
$650 is cheap for a direct flight to Europe, though I expect a few cheaper flights to be announced in the next month or so, especially into German cities or Amsterdam. | aerospace |

The Hawker Typhoon was one of the Second World War"s most potent ground attack planes, and was one of the first planes to provide "close air support". Leading up to D-Day, the Typhoon had been used to great effect in attacks on German radar installations along the French coastline.
Initially designed to replace the Hawker Hurricane as the complementary high-altitude fighter to the Supermarine Spitfire, the Typhoon instead found its fame as a low altitude ground-attack aircraft, spearheading the airbourne assault through occupied Europe after D-Day. Designed around the enormous 24 cylinder Napier Sabre engine, the Typhoon had a tough gestation before maturing as a capable, low level fighter bomber, devistating German armour in Normandy and beyond. | aerospace |

Keywords : Aircraft wheel hub; Finite element analysis; Fatigue analysis; Magnesium Alloy.;
The majority of service failures in aircraft components occur by fatigue. In the present paper, the fatigue analysis is carried on the aircraft wheel hub at radial load conditions on magnesium alloy in the finite element environment. The radial fatigue test conditions are applied to aircraft wheel in Finite element s oftware and fatigue analysis is done. The fatigue life, von - Misses stress, deformation and safety factor of wheel hub are obtained for each load condition. The process is repeated at various fatigue load conditions on Mg alloy aircraft wheel. The combined steady and variable stress diagram is plotted using mean stress correction theory. The von - Misses stress and deformations are increased with fatigue load, and the safety factor decreases with increasing of fatigue load. The fatigue life is decreased with i ncreasing of fatigue load. The maximum stresses are developed at wheel hub inner diameter.

When obtaining a pilot's license, learning to fly the plane might be the easiest part.
Federal training requirements include learning to fly the aircraft, maintenance upkeep and multiple hours of on-ground safety preparation, said Josh Collier, a flight instructor and owner of Coyote Flight Centers in Amarillo.
The journey starts with the procurement of a private pilot's license. From there, students can gain instrument ratings, a commercial license or become an instructor. The cost of obtaining all these certifications can soar to an estimated $40,000.
A private license requires 40 hours of training within an aircraft, 20 with an instructor and 10 in solo flight.
Armed with this license, a pilot is permitted to fly anywhere in the United States and may carry passengers and cargo, but cannot fly for compensation or hire or fly in or near clouds.
An instrument-rated pilot has the same limitations, but is allowed to fly in the clouds.
Fifty hours of cross-country flying must be logged, along with 40 hours of simulated or actual instrument training and 15 hours of
Only a commercial license allows a pilot to carry passengers for compensation. That license requires an additional written test and more than 300 hours more than initial training standards.
Coyote Flight Centers offers private and instrumental training. Collier said the firm hopes to acquire a complex aircraft for commercial and instructor ratings. | aerospace |

The same principle is in effect when you walk across a carpet in the winter and get a shock from a doorknob. The charge level and the distance that can be jumped or arced depends on several factors—pump rate, temperature, humidity and containers.
Static electricity is the reason why a ground wire is always connected to commercial airliners and transport trucks whenever fuel is being transferred. When you transfer fuel into your car or light aircraft, the hose has a built-in ground wire that acts as an electrical path to dissipate any static charge. As an added precaution, there is usually an excessively rich air/fuel ratio in the fill pipe which will not burn. There are two primary areas where a pilot should exercise caution when transferring fuel.
First is draining an aircraft tank. For example, if you’re draining a wing tank, you should always connect a jumper cable from the plane to the fuel container. This will dissipate the charge and eliminate the chance of a spark jumping from plane to container, causing a fire. Remember, when you’re draining fuel, there can be enough air circulation so that the air/fuel ratio is in the burnable range.
The second area of concern is the filling process. Many FBOs use a ground wire when filling an aircraft. But in some cases, fuel is transferred from a drum or can into an aircraft. Here, a jumper wire is a good safety precaution to ensure that the charge is dissipated. If you use a metal funnel with metal cans, make sure that the can, funnel and plane are always touching during transfer.
With metal containers, the electrical charge is dissipated to the conductive container where it can be discharged by a ground wire or contact. In plastic containers, there is no good electrically-conductive path to dissipate the charge. Although some people put metal strips into the plastic container, I would recommend the use of metal containers with a good jumper wire. It's the safer way to go. | aerospace |

Endorsed and utilized by NASA as part of its Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, the mission aimed to collect critical information to assist in transporting astronauts to the Moon. By engaging commercial ventures like Intuitive Machines, NASA sought to streamline its operations and focus more on the scientific aspects of space exploration.
The mission faced a moment of crisis during its rapid descent to the lunar surface. A single neglected locking mechanism, combined with the absence of range-finding lasers, almost resulted in the complete obliteration of the lander as it approached its target site near the Moon’s south pole. However, quick thinking by flight controllers enabled the use of an experimental navigational system onboard to guide Odysseus to a safer landing spot. Despite avoiding a catastrophic crash, the lander’s touchdown was less than ideal, with one of its legs getting caught on an obstacle, causing the vehicle to topple over on its side.
As the lunar night approached and cast a shadow over the landing site, mission control made the bittersweet decision to shut down Odysseus, effectively ending its brief mission. The lander managed to transmit a final image of the cratered lunar landscape, with a tiny crescent Earth visible in the background, illuminated by the glare of the Sun. This poignant image served as a reminder of humanity’s presence in the vast universe and marked the conclusion of Odysseus’ journey to the Moon.
Despite the challenges faced and the premature end to its mission, there is still a glimmer of hope that Odysseus may awaken once again. Intuitive Machines CEO and co-founder Steve Altemus expressed optimism about the possibility of reactivating the lander when lunar dawn breaks in several weeks. Drawing inspiration from the recent revival of Japan’s SLIM spacecraft after a similar setback, Altemus remains determined to give Odysseus another chance to fulfill its mission.
As Odysseus rests in the cold embrace of the lunar night, it stands as a testament to the dedication and hard work of the team behind the mission. Despite the obstacles encountered and the imperfect landing, the mission team’s perseverance and commitment to pushing the boundaries of space exploration are evident. The images transmitted by Odysseus, including the poignant final shot of Earth in the distance, serve as a lasting tribute to the team’s efforts and the spirit of exploration that drives humanity forward. | aerospace |

Early media reports called the device a flying “Peeping Tom.” Soon afterwards, national reports exploded with more than one hundred stories, focused mostly on the news media’s construction of a privacy violation. Now, the photograph of the flight has been provided to Forbes, and it shows that the company flying the drone was merely making a panoramic photograph of the city skyline. The arc of this story — a buzzworthy first report, that later ends up being false— is emblematic of many drone related stories which threaten to jeopardize the nascent industry.
Many innovators developing drone technology are frustrated by the FAA’s backwards regulations which privilege the use of drones for fun (for example acrobatic flights over a farm), but prohibit the use of drones for business (for example level flights to photograph a farmers crops).
While flights over populated areas may raise safety or privacy issues, flights over farms or in remote areas seem far less problematic, yet FAA regulations still prohibit them. Industry analysts are hopeful that the FAA will treat small drones, operated within the line of sight of the operator, differently than large drones that fly autonomously (like the Amazon drones). The FAA however, has already missed a series of deadlines, and has announced they may miss a Congressionally imposed deadline for crafting regulations for small drones.
The issues raised by drone related journalism are an inherently complex mixture of technology, laws, regulations and policy questions. Those issues are complicated by the fact that the placeholder term “drone” is a proxy for dozens of variations of flying devices. While the average reader may generally understand that drones refers to flying devices lacking an onboard operator, the term can mean anything from small remote controlled paper airplanes, to consumer quadcopters, to hand launched law enforcement drones, all the way up to military style Predators and Reapers and even stratospheric systems like Google’s solar powered high altitude drones. In light of this legal and technological complexity, those of us who cover drones need to do a better job of carefully evaluating first reports, and where we get it wrong we need to make sure we’re correcting the record. The success or failure of an industry may depend on it. | aerospace |

An aneroid (barometric) altimeter shows a plane’s altitude above the earth by measuring the atmospheric pressure, which lessens as the altitude increases.
An altimeter is an instrument that shows a pilot just how high his airplane is above the earth. Most altimeters are aneroid (without air) barometers, made to read in feet of altitude instead of inches of mercury.
Like all barometers, the aneroid altimeter shows changes in air pressure, which lessens as the altitude increases.
Behind the dial is a small metal can called a diaphragm from which most of the air has been removed. As the airplane goes up, the air pressing against the diaphragm lessens, allowing the diaphragm to expand.
The movement of the sides of the diaphragm move the hands on the face of the altimeter.
Still another kind of altimeter is called a radio or radar altimeter. It measures altitude by sending radio signals to the ground.
It tells the altitude by measuring the time needed for the radio signals to reach the ground and bounce back to the plane. – Dick Rogers | aerospace |

Astronomers at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory discovered the celestial object on 8 October and later catalogued as 2013 TV135. It is currently only one of 10,332 identified near-Earth objects whose orbit takes them close to Earth.
The asteroid is reportedly roughly 1,300 feet and should it impact Earth damage would be felt over an area larger than 100,000 square miles. The impact would be the equivalent of 2,500 megatons of explosives. By contrast, the average United States nuclear warhead carries an explosive power of around 1 megaton.
After tracking the asteroid the astronomers realized that it had passed close Earth on September 16, coming within about 5.5 million miles of our planet.
At that distance it is more that than 17 times the distance to the moon, but any asteroid whose orbit takes the object closer than 6 million miles from Earth is automatically labeled as "potentially hazardous" and listed by the International Astronomical Union on a the Dangerous.html webpage.
After news of the discovery began to spread and fears of an impact grew NASA was quick to reassure the global population that the odds of impact are extremely small.
"To put it another way, that puts the current probability of no impact in 2032 at about 99.998 percent." Don Yeomans, the manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, read in a statement.
"This is a relatively new discovery. With more observations, I fully expect we will be able to significantly reduce, or rule out entirely, any impact probability for the foreseeable future," he added.
Still, after a preliminary orbit calculation, asteroid 2013 TV135 could pass close to Earth again in 2032. During that orbital pass the uncertainties in the actual orbit mean put the risk of impact at 1-in-63,000 furthering the fears of doomsday preppers. | aerospace |

A Pakistan International Airline plane crash which killed 97 people last month was because the pilots did not focus, an initial report released on Wednesday said.
Speaking to the parliament, the aviation minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan said the pilot and the controller did not follow standard procedures.
While attempting to land the plane, the pilots were engrossed in their conversation which was majorly about Coronavirus, the aviation minister added.
Officials from the French government in collaboration with the Pakistan aviation industry analysed the data and voice recorders.
“The pilot and co-pilot were not focused and throughout the conversation was about coronavirus,” Khan said.
The aviation reiterated that “there was no technical fault and the plane was 100 percent okay to fly.

The Saturn V (popularly known as the Moon Rocket) is a multistage liquid-fuel expendable rocket used by NASA's Apollo and Skylab programs. It was the ultimate design of the Saturn family of rockets designed under the direction of Wernher von Braun.
In 1961, when President Kennedy announced that America would try to get to the moon by the end of the decade, there was nothing in the United States arsenal (or in fact anywhere in the world) that could launch a manned spacecraft to the moon in one piece. The Saturn I was in development but had not flown and would require several launches to place in orbit all the components of the manned launch spacecraft.
In was announced on January 10, 1962 that NASA would build the Saturn V, though at that stage it was called the Saturn C-5. It would use the F-1 and J-2 rocket engines for propulsion and be designed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
It was decided early on to attempt to use as much technology from the Saturn I program as possible. As such the S-IVB third stage of the Saturn V was based on the S-IV second stage of the Saturn I. The Instrument Unit that controlled the Saturn V was also based on that carried by the Saturn I.
Over 110 m high and 10 m in diameter, with a total mass of 3,038,500 kg and a payload capacity of 118,000 kg to LEO, the Saturn V is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, although the Soviet Energiya heavy-lift booster was designed to orbit 120-150 tons, but was never flown at this capacity.
Saturn V is composed of three-stages:
- First Stage: S-IC built by Boeing
- Second Stage: S-II built by North American Aviation
- Third Stage: S-IVB built by Douglas Aircraft Company
The second stage now takes over burning for 6 minutes and reaching a speed of 24,600 km/h. The rocket is now at 185 km and nearly at orbital velocity. The thrid stage now burns for a further 2.5 minutes. It is about 12 minutes after launch. The third stage is kept attached while the spacecraft orbits the Earth two and a half times during which the spacecraft and rocket are checked out to make sure everything is in working order.
Then the third stage is reignited at Trans Lunar Injection (TLI) to send the spacecraft to the moon. It burns for over 5 minutes so that it reaches 39,400 km/h or over 10 km/s. A couple of hours after TLI, the Apollo Command Service Module (CSM) separates from the third stage turns 180 degrees and docks with the Lunar Module (LM) which rides below the CSM during launch. The CSM and LM then separate from the third stage.
The final act for the Saturn V rocket now is to be targeted away from the CSM and LM. At the moment it is on the same trajectory as the spacecraft and could present a hazard later in the mission. So the remaining propellant in its tanks in vented out of the engine. It can then be targeted either into a solar orbit or as in the case of the third stages from Apollo 13 onwards directed to impact the moon. These impacts were detected by seismometers left on the moon by previous missions and used to probe the inside of the moon.
Apart from manned lunar flights the Saturn V was used to launch the Skylab space station in earth orbit. Skylab was a modified third stage of a Saturn V and as such for its last flight, the rocket flew with only two stages.
The Space Shuttle was initially conceived of as a cargo transport to be used in concert with the Saturn V. The Shuttle would handle Space Station logistics, while Saturn V would launch components. Lack of funding for a second Saturn V production run killed this plan and left the US without a heavy-lift booster for the next 30 years (and counting).
There were also plans for a larger rocket called Nova that would have featured eight F-1 engines in its first stage allowing it to launch a manned spacecraft on a direct ascent flight to the moon. Other plans for the Saturn V called for using a Centaur as an upper stage or adding strapon boosters. These enhancements would have increased its ability to send large unmanned spacecraft to the outer planets or manned spacecraft to Mars.

We have defined new algorithms for the data processing of a satellite geodesy mission with gradiometer (such as the next European mission GOCE) to extract the information on the gravity field coefficients with a realistic estimate of their accuracy. The large scale data processing can be managed by a multistage decomposition. First the spacecraft position is determined, i.e., a kinematic method is normally used. Second we use a new method to perform the necessary digital calibration of the gradiometer. Third we use a multiarc approach to separately solve for the global gravity field parameters. Fourth we use an approximate resonant decomposition, that is we partition in a new way the harmonic coefficients of the gravity field. Thus the normal system is reduced to blocks of manageable size without neglecting significant correlations. Still the normal system is badly conditioned because of the polar gaps in the spatial distribution of the data. We have shown that the principal components of the uncertainty correspond to harmonic anomalies with very small signal in the region where GOCE is flying; these uncertainties cannot be removed by any data processing method. This allows a complete simulation of the GOCE mission with affordable computer resources. We show that it is possible to solve for the harmonic coefficients up to degree 200–220 with signal to error ratio ≥1, taking into account systematic measurement errors. Errors in the spacecraft orbit, as expected from state of the art satellite navigation, do not degrade the solution. Gradiometer calibration is the main problem. By including a systematic error model, we have shown that the results are sensitive to spurious gradiometer signals at frequencies close to the lower limit of the measurement band. If these spurious effects grow as the inverse of the frequency, then the actual error is larger than the formal error only by a factor ≃2, that is the results are not compromised. | aerospace |

The plane from the 12th Flying Training Wing crashed near Rolling Oaks Mall shortly before 4 p.m., according to a news release from Air Education and Training Command, based at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph. The crash site also was near Veterans Memorial High School.
The field, on Nacogdoches Road, is also near Holy Cross Cemetery. The news release stated that the student pilot and instructor pilot both ejected “and [are] safe with minor injuries reported at the site.”
“There were no civilian casualties, and the extent of damage to property has not been assessed,” the release also stated.
Air Force officials added in the release that the accident is under investigation. Images from local television news broadcasts showed the plane broke up upon impact with the ground.
“Fire and safety personnel from Joint Base San Antonio, 12th Flying Training Wing and local communities responded soon after the accident,” the release said.
Nacogdoches remained open as authorities cordoned off the crash site to begin an investigation, but there were reports of backed-up rush-hour traffic on nearby roads.
The T-6A Texan II is a single-engine, two-seat primary trainer. The Air Force earlier this year grounded all T-6 Texan flights for nearly one month after “an increased number of unexplained physiological episodes” where pilots suffered from hypoxia and other oxygen-related problems.
The Air Force ordered repairs to the onboard oxygen-generating system in each T-6 before putting those trainer planes back into service in the summer.
Tuesday’s crash of the T-6A Texan II comes on the heels of an incident with a T-38C Talon II trainer that crashed after takeoff from Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, last week. Two pilots ejected safely, and that incident remains under investigation.
To date, according to a Military.com report, there have been nine Air Force trainer crashes in this year, including two other T-38 Talon trainers. | aerospace |

In the 2010s, the agency is sending plants in advance of its manned missions. A NASA experiment set to launch in late 2015 aboard the Moon Express lander, one of the contestants vying for the Google Lunar X-Prize, will see whether plants can grow and thrive on the Moon, the idea being that if plants can call the Moon home, at least temporarily and with all the necessities provided, humans will be able to as well.
Aside from the lack of breathable air and readily tillable soil, the Moon presents some challenges for life. Even with a habitat, the amount of solar radiation that hits the Moon is a challenge, as is the limited gravity. The Moon only has about one-sixth of Earth's pull.
This plant-based mission is designed as a technological demonstration aimed at gathering data on germination and plant growth in a lunar environment with a focus on the increased solar radiation and weaker gravitational environment. NASA is planning to send a 2.2 pound unit housing roughly 100 seeds of Arabidopsis, 10 basil seeds, and 10 turnip seeds. Their only light source will be direct sunlight and the light reflected off the Moon’s surface. What happens when water is added to the small experiment bay is the crux of the experiment.
Seedlings, it turns out, are a pretty good stand-in for humans. Like us, seedlings are extremely sensitive to their environmental surroundings and carry genetic material that can be damaged by radiation. Putting plants on the Moon in advance of humans is sort of like testing the survivability of a mine by putting a canary in the shaft before sending down miners.

The Thunderbolt was first deployed in 2260, the same year the Earth Alliance Civil War broke out.
Unlike previous production model Starfurys, this fighter is capable of atmospheric manoeuvring through the use of deployable airfoils mounted on the main engine pods. This fighter also has a crew of two who sit in the traditional fighter plane position and operate the controls using a combination of hand, foot, eye and voice commands.
In addition to the pulse cannons this fighter also has hardpoints for up to 10 extra weapons (Usually missiles) so this fighter also serves as a light bomber for planetary strikes.

This story fits into the latter category. A team of paratroopers with U.S. Army Alaska’s 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division jumped into Alaska’s tundra north of the Arctic Circle, braving minus 30 degree temperatures and a wind chill factor of minus 56 degrees during an exercise dubbed Exercise Spartan Pegasus 15 last week.
The soldiers’ mission during this training scenario was to find and recover a crashed satellite containing sensitive data and equipment which, if taken by the wrong people, could pose a threat to national security.
- RELATED STORY: Arctic Proof – Optimizing Your AR for Sub-Zero Temps
Of course, since the satellite was simulated, the real goal of the exercise was “validate soldier mobility across frozen terrain,” which is “a key fundamental of U.S. Army Alaska’s capacity as the Army’s northernmost command,” the Army says.
150 soldiers participated in Exercise Spartan Pegasus 15. The exercise took place more than 800 miles north from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, or JBER, Alaska. They arrived at their location in two Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft and two Alaska Air Guard C-130 Hercules aircraft. The jump was made from the aircraft at around 1,200 feet and moving at 200 mph through the freezing air. Some soldiers got frostbite, but they were quickly evacuated in “small unit sustainment vehicles” and Chinook helicopters.
According to Col. Jeffrey Crapo, director of operations at U.S. Army Alaska, a small reconnaissance team made the jump carrying skis, while the rest carried snowshoes.
Upon landing, the soldiers on skis moved quickly to the crashed satellite while the soldiers on snowshoes set up a security perimeter. Some soldiers actually served as snipers with live ammo, since polar bears inhabit the area and pose a real danger.
Equipment got busted. For example, many of the SUS-V tracked vehicles stopped working, and some aircraft had issues and were grounded. But Exercise Spartan Pegasus 15 was deemed a success.
In addition to the soldiers’ performance, one of the key elements that contributed to the exercise’s success was command and control communications provided by the 307th Expeditionary Signal Battalion, 516th Signal Brigade, the Army says. The mission was the farthest north a command post node had been established by the unit.
Not bad for a day’s work.
“Individual and operational readiness is the key to our ability to fight and win the nation’s wars — in any climate,” said Brig. Gen. Lawrence F. “Larry” Thoms, commander, 311th Signal Command (Theater) and U.S. Army Pacific Command G-6. “We must train to survive and fight in extreme, cold weather because the mission of Army communicators is to be ready to enable operational commanders in any environment.”
Thoms watched the jump with a group of foreign military observers.
“Our Soldiers must stay arctic tough,” Thoms added. | aerospace |

Recent Gauteng Business News
South Africa leads sky-commerce with world first aircraft tracking and real-time payment innovation; SAA first airline to activate globally
South African Airways (SAA) this week becomes the first airline globally to install the SatAuth (Satellite Authorisation Systems) solution. The system, first installed on the airline’s cabin trainer for testing in May last year, will not only allow secure credit card transactions anywhere in the skies but also provide pin-point accurate aircraft tracking services for operational purposes. South African Airways Technical (SAAT) developed the testing and engineering procedures for airline maintenance facilities around the world.
SAA today installed the device on one of its Airbus A340-300 aircraft (Registration: ZS-SXE) at the SAAT maintenance facility in Kempton Park, Johannesburg. “SAAT engineers worked closely with the developers of the solution,” says SAAT CEO Musa Zwane, “to ensure certification and engineering procedures, ultimately realising the usability of the product within an aviation environment.” The system will allow for secure credit card transactions at any point and real-time positioning of any flight, anywhere, impacting fuel saving interventions in-flight as well as providing full visibility of actual flight paths versus planned routing at any time. SatAuth is the first product of its kind, developed in South Africa.
SAAT will manufacture all major aircraft components required for installation of SatAuth in accordance with the international Aviation Certification standards required for installation. “This provides SAAT with substantial commercial impetus with a new revenue stream,” says Zwane. “Today’s installation is the first of its kind in the world and marks a new milestone in South African avionics engineering; it’s another affirmation of the quality, skill and expertise that SAAT offers in terms of its aircraft maintenance and overhaul facilities.”
Installation of the solution can be done during a standard ‘A-Check’ – a regular overnight maintenance procedure that occurs every 200-400 cycles (take offs and landings). “SatAuth will provide an economical and secure transaction environment. As a truly South African innovation, the solution would not have reached this milestone without the dedicated support of the SAA Avionics engineers who took it upon themselves to assist us in guiding the SatAuth Solution through the numerous certification requirements so endemic to the aviation industry,” says Paul Roux founder and CEO of the SatAuth solution.
SAA plans to install SatAuth across its entire long-haul fleet over time.

Airbus will join other companies locating manufacturing at the park which is adjacent to Adelaide airport – Fleet Space Technologies, Alauda Aeronautics, ATSpace and Q-CTRL.
The first major prime contractor at the park is responding to the need to deliver Australian industry capability to the expanding space sector through a dedicated assembly and integration (AI) presence.
Airbus Defence and Space Ltd Managing Director Richard Franklin said in a statement that Airbus’ investment will significantly expand Australia’s sovereign satellite manufacturing capability, enabling the production of satellites up to 300kg.
“This was a big step in terms of scale and sophistication of satellites being assembled in Australia,” he said.
Airbus’ involvement in the Australian Space Park will provide a platform for industry to scale its satellite manufacturing capabilities. It aims to be a national asset for Australia to support the government’s wider strategic aspirations of a sustainable space industry.
“As the burgeoning hub for Australia’s space manufacturing industry, South Australia is the natural choice for Airbus to establish a dedicated satellite assembly and integration presence,” Franklin said.
“Our vision for this facility is to provide a national asset to support the Australian Government’s wider strategic aspiration to build a sustainable space industry. We look forward to working closely with the government of South Australia and industry to help lead this vision.”
The Australian Space Park provides the opportunity to construct a common user facility to support small satellite constellation manufacturing as well as other spacecraft and components.
The park will help to support the national aim to triple space’s contribution to Gross Domestic Product to $12 billion by 2030. | aerospace |

Green Airport in Rhode Island, slightly damaging both aircraft but injuring no one, officials said Tuesday.
US Airways Express Flight 3315, an Embraer 175 regional jet bound for Philadelphia and operated by Republic Airlines, was being pushed away from a gate by an airline employee when it hit the empty, stationary US Airways Flight 815, an Airbus A321 jet bound for Charlotte, N.C., airport spokeswoman Patti Goldstein said.
“The employee that was pushing the aircraft pushed it too closely to an aircraft that was parked at the next gate,” she said. “It was a mishap.”
Neither plane was powered at the time, Goldstein said. That suggests it was a “very low-speed incident,” said Morgan Durrant, a spokesman for US Airways.
The airplanes were in the gate area, not the runway area, and the pilot was not talking to air traffic control at the time, said Arlene Salac, a spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
The wing of the Philadelphia-bound plane was damaged. The tail of the other plane was damaged, Durrant said; it was an exhaust unit, according to Salac. Goldstein described the damage as minor.
Both flights were canceled, and passengers were put on other flights.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating, as is the airline, Durrant said. Republic Airlines is also investigating, spokesman Carlo Bertolini said.
The FAA will decide whether it needs to investigate further, Salac said. | aerospace |

So, I thought I’d start a list of definitions or explanations that some people might find helpful. The list often includes a link to a more detailed explanation elsewhere on the Internet in case you would like additional information on the subject. If I use a phrase or abbreviation that you are not familiar with, please drop me an email at email@example.com and I’ll do my best to give an explanation and then will add it to this list for future reference.
- ACARS : Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System. A datalink system for the transmission of short, simple messages between the aircraft and ground stations. It is used to transmit company position reports, to receive enroute weather, airport weather conditions and forecasts and to pass information to the departure and arrival stations.

Volume II includes explanations of the mechanical systems found on the airplane.
- APD : Aircrew Program Designee. A pilot working under an airline training program who has been given the FAA’s blessing to conduct type-rating evaluations in the aircraft for which he/she is rated.
- APU : Auxiliary Power Unit. A small jet engine usually located in the tail of the aircraft which is capable of providing electrical and pneumatic power to activate the aircraft’s systems. Bleed air from the APU is used to power the air conditioning systems on the ground and to start the main engines.
- ATIS : Automatic Terminal Information Service. A means by which aircraft approaching an airport may obtain the latest weather conditions and runway in use at the airport. A recording is available over the appropriate radio frequency or a printed version may be available via datalink.
- ASES : Aircraft, Single-Engine Sea.
- CAFE Foundation : CAFE is an acronym for Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency. The CAFE Foundation is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization which creates and advances the understanding of personal aircraft technologies through research, analysis and education. The CAFE team arose mainly from members of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter (EAA) 124, where the passion for personal aviation is strong. Volunteers from EAA 124 (Santa Rosa, CA)have formed the backbone of CAFE’s success. CAFE Foundation website.
- Cat I/II/II minimums : Instrument approach minimums specifying the minimum weather required to fly the approach. Precision (ILS) approach minimums are usually require only a minimum visibility. Cat I approaches generally require an RVR of 1800′ or a half mile. Cat II approaches, in general, require an RVR of 1200′ or 1/4 mile, while Cat III C approaches have no visibility required for an autopilot/autoland approach (There are incrementally lower visibility requirements for Cat III A, B and C approaches, with C being the lowest).
- CBs : Cumulonimbus clouds. Large clouds with often rabid vertical build-up, associated with thunderstorms.
- CBP : U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

- CPDLC : Controller-Pilot DataLink Communications (Wikipedia). Communications between the flight crew and an ATC controller using text messages transmitted by datalink. The messages are largely pre-formatted.
- DA(H) : Decision Altitude or Decision Height. The altitude on a precision instrument approach at which the decision must be made to continue the descent to landing or to execute the missed approach procedure. The aircraft will usually descend below this altitude in the transition from descending to executing a climb associated with the missed approach.
- DH : deadhead leg. A leg of a trip or rotation during which the crewmember rides as a passenger. Deadhead legs are used to preposition a crew member to a location where they will be part of a working crew. DH legs are found in scheduled trips or are found on trips generated as a result of equipment substitution, weather disruptions or sick calls where the originally scheduled crew member is no longer able to fly the subsequent flight.
- DHS : The Department of Homeland Security
- DNIF : Duty Not Including Flying. A military term describing the work status of a military pilot who is too ill to fly, but not too sick to work at other jobs he/she may have been assigned.

- EFC : Expect Further Clearance. Information given to an aircraft which has just been given holding instructions. It is a time in the future that the aircraft can reasonably expect to be given instructions to exit the holding pattern and proceed to the destination airport.
- EGPWS : Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System. A system installed on transport-category aircraft that uses a worldwide database of terrain coupled with the aircraft’s gps-derived position to provide a predictive warning of terrain ahead of the aircraft which may become a threat considering the aircraft’s current heading and altitude.
- ELT: Emergency Locator Transmitter. A radio transmitter carried on most general aviation aircraft that broadcasts a signal in the event of an aircraft accident. ELT use was mandated by the FAA in 1973, requiring units that broadcast their signal on two emergency frequencies (121.5 and 243.0 MHz). These emergency frequencies were monitored by the international COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. This type of ELT is prone to false activation and, as a result, has been replaced by a newer digital version broadcasting on 406 MHz. In Feb 2009 the satellite systems stopped monitoring the lower frequencies while retaining surveillance of the 406Mhz signals, however replacement of the older units has not yet been made mandatory in the U.S.
- ETOPS : Extended-Range Twin-Engine Operations. An ETOPS rating is obtained for aircraft and aircraft operator by complying with FAA equipment and operation reliability requirements for long-distance flights. Without an ETOPS rating an aircraft with only two engines must always have a suitable landing alternate within 60 minutes of its location if an engine fails in-flight. ETOPS extends this to allow the alternate to be 90 minutes or more, up to a maximum of 180 minutes. Obtaining an ETOPS rating requires certification of the reliability of an airframe/engine combination as well as an airline’s flight operations and maintenance. Usually extra equipment is required as well, such as additional backup systems for electrical power
- FMS : Flight Management System. An integration of aircraft sub-systems through Flight Management Computers which aids the pilot in controlling the aircraft by eliminating the need for many routine tasks and computations. It provides automatic navigation, performance optimization and automatic fuel monitoring as well as providing the information for the primary and navigation flight displays.
- GPWS : Ground Proximity Warning System. An aircraft system which monitors the aircraft position and flight configuration in order to provide the pilot an aural and visual warning of an unsafe flight condition. Various modes of the GPWS system check for excessive descent rates, altitude loss after a take-off or go-around, glideslope deviations while on an instrument approach and excessive closure rates with terrain. the GPWS system uses inputs from the barometric and radio altimeters as well as landing gear and flap position sensors. An Enhanced version of the system (EGPWS) uses Global Positioning (GPS) and a worldwide terrain database to provide a greater warning time due to it’s “look ahead” ability.
- HF : High Frequency communications radio. Used to communicate with air traffic control agencies when out of VHF communications radio range using the frequency range 3 – 30MHz. Newer model aircraft are now using datalink systems for this purpose. See CPDLC. Here is Wikipedia’s discussion of HF.
- IA : Inspection Authorization. A designation given to FAA certified aircraft mechanics who have qualified for and successfully passed additional written and practical tests that prove to the FAA that the individual is capable of certifying an aircraft airworthy. All general aviation aircraft (except amateur-built, which have Condition Inspections) must be inspected annually by a mechanic holding an IA who then certifies the aircraft airworthy and in compliance with all applicable regulations.
- ICAO : International Civil Aviation Organization. The international version of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- LOC : Localizer Approach. The non-precision approach associated with the precision ILS approach. This approach is used when the glideslope portion of the ILS is out of service for some reason. The LOC approach provides localizer directional guidance to the runway, but the descent portion of the approach must be accomplished in accordance with non-precision approach procedures.
- LSA : Light Sport Aircraft.
- MAP : Missed Approach Point. A point on an instrument approach where the aircraft must either transition to a landing or execute a missed approach.
- MEF : Maximum Elevation Figure. The VFR sectional Chart is broken up into quadrants bounded by tick-marked lines each 30 minutes of Latitude or Longitude. A bold, Blue two-digit elevation is depicted in each quadrant. This elevation represents the highest elevation, including terrain and other vertical obstacles (natural or man-made) within the quadrant depicted to the nearest 100′ value. 96 would indicate 9600′ MSL
- MEL : Minimum Equipment List. A list if items on an aircraft that specifies if the item need be operational for the flight and, if not, how to document the discrepancy.
- MDA : Minimum Descent Altitude. Minimum altitude to which and aircraft may descend on an instrument approach without having the ground references necessary to continue to a landing. Usually associated with a non-precision instrument approach.

The view.
Or so thinks former astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, who was the special guest at the Corona Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
“I was looking up and there was nothing my field of view but the Earth,” said Stefanyshyn-Piper, who flew into space in 2006 and 2008, logging 27 days in space and five space walks. “And (then) you turn around and see the space station. You have this white-and-silver space station and then you have the black of space behind it.”
The astronaut’s visit to a packed room was meant to inspire students to pursue science, technology, engineering and math (known as STEM programming).
“We are preparing the Mars generation,” said Shaun Smith, of NASA’s Armstrong Office of Education in Palmdale, referring to a hoped-for mission to Mars in 2030.
Such programs, Smith said, “will help foster the next generation of explorers.”
Astronaut Stefanyshyn-Piper first considered space in 1996 while she was repairing ships underwater for the Navy. At the time, NASA needed engineers to help build the International Space Station.
“If I can fix a ship underwater, then I can probably build a station in space,” she recalled thinking.
During her presentation, Stefanyshyn-Piper regaled the audience with stories about maneuvering in zero gravity.
Even the most mundane tasks, she said were difficult, from sleeping to brushing her teeth.
She reminded students about the importance of science.
“We’ve got engineers and scientists who figured out what we need to do so that we can put this stuff up in space,” she said. “This is why we need people in STEM to do cool stuff in space.”
She added that many items in our everyday lives originated in the space program.
Stefanyshyn-Piper then satiated audience members’ curiosity by answering questions that ranged from the nature of black holes to how much pressure there is in the shuttle.
Lucas Grinius, a 13 year-old member of Boy Scout Troop 107, said his interest in engineering – and his career goal to join the Air Force – prompted him to attend.
“It’s interesting the path she took from diver to astronaut,” he said. “I learned that it’s not always a direct path to what you want and that it can branch out to something amazing.”
Stefanyshyn-Piper, who retired as an astronaut in 2009 and returned to the Navy, took pictures with attendees.
She said her favorite part about talking to children is hearing them tell her how she’s inspired them.
“All of the young people, in about 20-30 years, (will be) up here telling their stories,” she said.

“I think there is plenty of space on the Moon, and we want all our global partners to go together into the Moon,” NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine told reporters at the 70th International Astronautical Congress held in Washington.
“If we could come to agreements about the donations of all of the states and the way they are likely to become part of the structure, then surely I would, I’d observe that there would be no reason we can not have all our global partners with us around the Moon,” he added.
Just 1 element of this assignment is going to be made outside the US: the Orion service module which will provide it with power, propulsion, thermal control, water and air in distance and has been delivered by the European Space Agency (ESA).
Just once the Gateway is enlarged will non-Americans be in a position to earn the trip also.
“We’re in conversation too with NASA, so we have European astronauts on the surface of the Moon — that is the European goal,” explained Jan Worner, head of the ESA, in precisely the same press conference.
“2024 is for certain something that’s simply American,” he later told AFP. For Europeans, it might be”2027, 2028, something like this.”
For its part, Japan also wishes to make the most of this new US program to compose a brand new chapter in its history.
The construction of the ISS from the late 1990s and 2000s seemed to usher in a new age of space collaboration between the united states and Russia after the Cold War, but this time around, Washington is in no mood to operate with behavioral rivals.
Especially, the US Congress has prohibited any alliance with China, the world’s largest market and an emerging space power.
Throughout his speech inaugurating the weeklong seminar, Vice President Mike Pence replicated seven times which the US needed to utilize”freedom-loving states” | aerospace |

For 1 hour and 41 minutes team SDO observed the lunar transit. This event only happens a few times a year, but it does give the SDO team an opportunity to better understand the AIA instrument on SDO and give it a fine-tuning. The sharp edge of the lunar limb helps researchers measure the in-orbit characteristics of the telescope, e.g., how light diffracts around the telescope's optics and filter support grids. Once these are calibrated, it is possible to correct SDO data for instrumental effects and sharpen the images even more than before.

NASA reported success on October 9, 2009, as enough space dust was raised to measure trace signs of water and ice.
Of course none of us had a “say” in the completed mission as I wonder, “What are the future effects after showing the world that it is “ok” to take a scientific swing at the moon? And does NASA recognize the irreplaceable responsibility of the moon? –the flow of tides, biodynamic farming (planting on a lunar cycle), the personal balance or imbalance of emotions and moods, the direct influence on weather based on proximity to the earth and more…”
And so, the NASA LCROSS story will continue to unfold and possibly raise further questions about the legitimacy of the celebrated lunar landing and Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon July 20, 1969. “If we landed on the moon, walked the moon, posted a flag that fluttered in the wind (moon has no wind), and returned safely back to earth in a small capsule…Why did NASA need to spend 79 million on the LCROSS project? Why didn’t NASA create a moon rover, place it on the moon, and look for water and ice over a much larger surface of the moon by probing its surface?”
Maybe my creative minded pursuits conjure questions that can’t be answered. Thankfully I can exercise thoughts on paper. The following paintings are in celebration of my lunar curiosity and preparation for the upcoming GR2 Post-It IV exhibition curated by Mark Todd and Esther Pearl Watson to be held on Saturday, December 5th.

The North's state-run Korean Central News Agency reported Thursday that the regime's railway-borne missile regiment handled the drill.
Their mission was to strike a target area 800 kilometers away from their location after moving to the central mountainous area in the early hours of the morning.
It reported that a member of the Presidium of the Politburo of the ruling Workers' Party, Pak Jong-chon , was in charge of the regiment's training and personally oversaw the launch.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un wasn't there.
As part of North Korea's comprehensive five-year weapons and science development program, the railway-borne missile regiment was established after it was first mentioned at the eighth ruling Workers' Party Congress in January.
It's aimed at enhancing North Korea's ability to prepare against simultaneous external threats.
The report said it was the first time the railway-borne missile system was used for combat training to confirm its practical use.
Via photos released by the North, the missiles are confirmed to be a modified version of the KN-23 Iskander-class ballistic missile that was fired on March 25th.
Such Iskander-class ballistic missiles are harder to intercept than other missiles due to their so-called pull-up maneuver - the ability to shoot upwards dramatically during the final stages of descent making it harder to predict their flight trajectory.
South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said the missiles were fired at 12:34 and 12:39pm, Korea time, from Yangduk , Pyeongannam-do Province.
The missiles flew around 800 kilometers, reaching an altitude of some 60 kilometers.
They were fired just two days after North Korea reported its launching of long-range cruise missiles into the East Sea.
"There was no special movement in North Korea to elaborate on so far. South Korea and the U.S. are working closely together on analyzing the short-range ballistic missiles fired on Wednesday, including the missile type and specific features. The South Korean military believe North Korea continues to develop various missiles' transport erector systems."
The series of launches are speculated to be part of a plan to help the regime gain the upper hand in future negotiations with the U.S. or South Korea.
Wednesday's missile launch was the fifth provocation by North Korea so far this year.

A booster rocket failed less than two minutes after launching a Kansan and a Russian toward the International Space Station on Thursday, forcing their emergency — but safe — landing on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
It was the latest in a recent series of failures for the troubled Russian space program, which is used by the U.S. to carry its astronauts to the station.
NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos' Alexei Ovchinin were subjected to heavy gravitational forces as their capsule automatically jettisoned from the Soyuz booster rocket and fell back to Earth at a sharper-than-normal angle.
"Thank God the crew is alive," said Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, who watched the launch at the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome along with his Russian counterpart, tweeted that Hague and Ovchinin are in good condition. He added that a "thorough investigation into the cause of the incident will be conducted."
Hague, 43, was born in Belleville and grew up in Hoxie. He is a graduate of Hoxie High School and the United States Air Force Academy. He also has an advanced degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Hague joined NASA's astronaut program in 2013 and completed training in 2015. This was scheduled to be his first trip into space.
Hague and Ovchinin, 47, lifted off as scheduled at 3:40 a.m. CDT Thursday from Baikonur. The astronauts were to dock at the International Space Station six hours after the launch and join an American, a Russian and a German currently aboard the station.
But the three-stage Soyuz booster suffered an unspecified failure of its second stage about two minutes after launching. Search and rescue teams were immediately scrambled to recover the crew, and paratroopers were dropped from a plane to reach the site quickly.
While the Russian space program has been dogged by a string of launch failures and other incidents in recent years, Thursday's mishap marked the program's first manned launch failure since September 1983, when a Soyuz exploded on the launch pad.
The astronauts were flown by helicopter to Dzhezkazgan and then by plane to Baikonur. Russian officials said they may spend the night in Baikonur before being flown to Star City, Russia's space training center outside Moscow, the Tass news agency said.
NASA posted pictures of Hague and Ovchinin undergoing a medical check-up at Dzhezkazgan's airport. One of the pictures showed Hague smiling and another had him sitting next to Russia's space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said all manned launches will be suspended pending an investigation into the cause of the failure. He added that Russia will fully share all relevant information with the U.S.
The Russian Soyuz spacecraft is currently the only vehicle for ferrying crews to the space station following the retirement of the U.S. space shuttle fleet. Russia stands to lose that monopoly in the coming years with the arrival of SpaceX's Dragon and Boeing's Starliner crew capsules.

The first order, worth £2.2m, is for the supply of radar components and subsystems for the radar platform on the Seawolf air defence system.
Further orders, worth $3.9m, have been made under a contract, signed in 2008, where e2v is the prime supplier of electron devices to BAE Systems against their contract with the US DoD for the Integrated Defensive Electronic Countermeasures (IDECM) Radio Frequency Countermeasures (RFCM) AN/ALE-55(V) fiber optic towed decoy system, for use on the U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F aircraft. These latest orders under the contract are for the low rate initial production stages.
e2v’s electron devices deliver the RF power used by the AN/ALE-55(V) towed decoy, which, when deployed, is towed behind an aircraft, protecting it against RF-guided missiles.
Following a 1-2 year ramp up to full production rates, subsequent order releases against the contract will be in the order of $6m (£4m) per annum, anticipated to be delivered over a 17-year period.
Keith Attwood, Chief Executive of e2v, commented: “These orders, and specifically the related long term contract, reinforce e2v's position as a strategic supplier to the global defence industry and helps underpin our objectives in this important marketplace."

By sharing their views and connecting the dots, that way we bring the industry together to collectively understand how to move forward and strengthen our value proposition.
Recently, the Icelandic Directorate of Fisheries meet us for sharing opinions and perspectives of important trends within the surveillance and security industry. The focus was our favorite product, the Silent Flyer. We looked over the service and technology platform Flygildi can offer, that fits our joint area of focus.
The Silent Flyer can assist marine authorities in preventing illegal discarding of catch by fishing vessels. Due to its low noise emissions and its capacity to mimic the appearance and flight of real bird species, the Silent Flyer can fly over fishing vessels to gather data that could be used as evidence of an illegal activity. This could then become a prevention method. The Silent Flyer can help improve maritime surveillance, e.g., the detection of illegal fishing, which the Directorate of Fisheries has stated that can be of great value.
The Company Flygildi is developing a new, truly revolutionary first-of-its-kind Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), named the Silent Flyer, built on its proprietary, patented technology. Designed in looks and flight pattern to mimic a real bird, the Silent Flyer enables a multitude of capabilities – high maneuverability, silent, unobtrusive, autonomous flight and more. Our innovation is a ground-breaking concept of UAVs that will bring to the market a new class of drone capable of flying and looking like a natural bird. | aerospace |
