Former University of Alaska Fairbanks Vice Chancellor of research Buck Sharpton is leading a team pursing a mission to Venus. Sharpton, who left his UAF post at the end of last month, but will continue to teach at the University, is currently focused on shepherding a proposal to NASA. Sharpton says the multi-national academic and industry group wants to send an unmanned spacecraft to Venus to scan the planet.
Sharpton says the mission will employ a time-tested radar that will spin around Venus for two earth years. Sharpton, who’s worked on planetary missions in the past, says Venus is of interest because of its similar position to earth in the solar system, and it’s a very different environment. He says Venus may hold answers to fundamental questions scientists are grappling with on earth.
Sharpton says just getting the Venus mission proposal together is a multi-million dollar endeavor and his summer is packed with completing its submission to NASA. He says the next challenge will be getting through the evaluation phase. The group being lead by Sharpton is one of several competing for NASA funding. The proposed Venus mission would launch in 2016.

Iraq has made a down payment of $1.4 billion to the United States on 18 F-16 fighter jets that are intended to protect Iraqi sovereignty when the U.S. is gone. But the planes will not be delivered for years to come, and U.S. forces are required by the status-of-forces agreement to withdraw by the end of December.
The total bill for the F-16s adds up to $3 billion.
Iraq currently operates 158 aircraft. That’s down from the 1,000 once under Saddam Hussein’s command.
Reuters reports that Iraq has limited capabilities to defend its air space, with only 60 percent radar coverage expected after the U.S. leaves. —PZS
The air force wants two more long-range radars to cover more of the north, northwest and west, as well as ground-based air defense systems. Those are years away.
While it waits for its F-16s, the Air Force relies on what Rock called “nascent but credible capabilities” with 69 aircraft including three missile-equipped Cessnas, three reconnaissance Cessnas capable of capturing and downlinking real-time video, as well as C-130E transports, training and other planes.

On Wednesday, the UK-based low cost air company announced that it partnered with Wright Electric planning to develop its first commercial electric plane within the next decade.
The low-cost aviation company has partnered with Wright Electric, a US start-up, which has already developed a two-seated plane powered exclusively by batteries.
Wright Electric was established two years ago, with the vision of turning every short-haul flight worldwide electric, and it said that EasyJet’s support is a “powerful validation” of its plans to develop the new storage technologies which will be lighter than conventional batteries.
The new plane will be expected to fly a range of 335 miles, possibly carrying at least 120 passengers.
This means that it would be able to cover flights of less than two hours, with some popular routes being London to Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
EasyJet aspires that it will turn all of its short flights electric within the next twenty years.
Carolyn McCall, the Chief Executive of EasyJet said: “We share an ambition with Wright Electric for a more sustainable aviation industry”.
“Just as we have seen with the automotive industry, the aviation industry will be looking to electric technology to reduce our impact on the environment”.
She added: “For the first time in my career I can envisage a future without jet fuel and we are excited to be part of it, – It is now more a matter of when, not if, a short-haul electric plane will fly”.
If the technology turns out successful, it will lead to a massive mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, significant savings from decrease in fuels consumption, as well as less noisy flights.
More specifically, Wright Electric claims that electric planes will be 50 percent more quiet and 10 percent cheaper than traditional airplanes, and the cost savings will potentially pass on to the passengers.
Wright Electric is hoping that the new batteries would power the propellers or fans of airplane engines; however the motors would be located in the plane’s wings and not attached underneath them, making the planes more aerodynamic cutting drag.
The batteries are suggested to be put in the main body of the aircraft, and according to a statement of a company’s spokesman to the BBC, the preferred option is a combination of lithium-ion and aluminium air battery technologies.
Graham Warwick, Technology Editor of Aviation Weekly had told the BBC some months ago that the battery technology is not at this stage of development yet, expressing concerns especially about safety certification and the time-consuming regulation process.
Peter Duffy, EasyJet’s Chief Commercial Officer said about the new partnership: “You’re seeing cities and countries starting to talk about banning diesel combustion engines. That would have been unthinkable just a short time ago”.
“As technology moves on, attitudes shift, ambitions change and you see opportunities you didn’t see. This is genuinely exciting”.

Now, the internet satellite company has a plan to come back from the dead with new owners.
OneWeb, the communications company building a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation to deliver global connectivity, has achieved a major step in its reorganisation process. On 2 October 2020, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed OneWeb’s Chapter 11 plan of reorganisation (the “Plan”), ensuring that the company remains on target to resume full business operations imminently.OneWeb announcement
OneWeb says it will resume operations after the company hit the breaks at the end of March. The development comes as new owners, the UK Government and Bharti Global Limited, prop up the company with a billion-dollar investment.
The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year. In the meantime, OneWeb plans to continue launching and deploying internet satellites in low Earth orbit to build out a constellation for a consumer broadband service.
Meanwhile, SpaceX continues to aggressively deploy its own internet satellites and expand its constellation in low Earth orbit ahead of the launch of its Starlink broadband service. Starlink is intended to provide internet to customers underserved and hard-to-reach areas.
SpaceX has already deployed over 700 internet satellites for Starlink, and batches of 60 are regularly launched on Falcon 9 rockets every few weeks.
Amazon is also planning its own internet satellite business under Project Kuiper. The effort is backed by a $10 billion investment from Amazon and includes plans for 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit.
SpaceX plans for Starlink to offer global service in underserved areas around the world with a constellation of 42,000 Starlink satellites. | aerospace |

No other engineering metal has risen so swiftly to pre-eminence in critical and demanding applications.
Titanium and its alloys have proven to be technically superior in a broad range of industrial and commercial applications in such fields as aerospace, architecture, sporting equipment, military hardware, watch-making, medical implants, dental products and more.
Titanium is a super-light, durable and stable metal that makes it ideal for spectacle frames. It is corrosive resistant — perfect for people who live around salt water or have a skin acidity type that is very high.
Titanium is expensive compared to other frame materials. To combat the costs, some frame designers use titanium alloys or titanium combined with other metals. These metals include copper and nickel, which alter the aspects of titanium in different ways.
However titanium can still break, and that probably is the reason you are visiting this site.

The physiological inertness of titanium makes it available as a replacement for bones and cartilage in a variety of surgeries.
Titanium is used for heart valves, pacemakers, dental implants, artificial hips and joints. Titanium is also used in surgery equipment and wheelchairs.
Titanium is used in metallic alloys as a substitute for aluminium because of its strength and lightweight, along with its heat and corrosion resistance.
Alloyed with aluminium and vanadium, titanium is used in aircraft for firewalls, outer skin, landing-gear components, hydraulic tubing, and engine supports.
The compressor blades, disks, and housing of jet engines are also made of titanium. A commercial jet transport uses between 3500 and 12000 kg (7000 and 25000 pounds) of the metal.
The use of titanium has made space exploration possible. The Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo capsules were made largely of the metal. The space shuttle has many titanium parts as well as the international space station.
Titanium is also widely used in military hardware such as jet fighters, missiles, tanks, ships and submarines. It is also used for spectacle frames and sunglasses frames.
The process for repairing is not straight forward. It can't be soldered as traditional frames are. It requires ultra-modern laser technology to weld and bond this remarkable material.
AlphaOmega Glasses Repair has invested in this new technology and is now a specialist in the titanium spectacle frame repair process.
No fault now. Very impressed by the service. Brilliant job, super fast turn round. Very happy. Will use you again. Thanks. Really unsure if you could repair the frame at that point as it's so thin. Perfect colour match and like new.
I'm really pleased with the repair and surprised that a repair was possible at all. The titanium frames were badly twisted and the lens holders were squashed after being sat on. The glasses were returned to me within a couple of days fully repaired.
Many thanks for super quick excellent service and repair to my titanium rimless spectacles. I posted them to you Thursday 4pm. and got them back Saturday 9.30am. Less than 48 hours — brilliant. I was a bit worried at you being an on-line service but I'm very impressed and will recommend to others.
I'm amazed at such great customer service and haven't experienced that for a while. To send a pair of glasses on Tuesday and have them back fully repaired by the Thursday, less than 48 hours later, for just £20 (plus very reasonable p&p express delivery) is superb. Very highly recommended. | aerospace |

8th Feb 2016
5th July, 2015 could have easily be a tragic day for passengers and crew members on board Qantas flights QF449 and QF819 and Emirates UAE 405, but the situation was averted at the last second, luckily.
Now, several months following the incident, a video footage, shot by a passenger through the plane's window, show just how close to the three jets were to an actual tragedy.
The video, shot from one of the planes, shows the lights of a nearby plane approaching from its left side and then disappearing under the wind. Following this, the plane performs a 'missed approach'.
A 1st Officer can also be heard on the footage, explaining to passengers that this was a 'necessary maneuver'.
The 'potential disaster, as Senator Nick Xenophon described the incident, involved two Qantas Boeing 737 aircraft, who were about to land on a runway. However, a third plane, one from Emirates was late in taking off from an intersecting runway and the two Qantas planes were heading for a collision course with it.
Fortunately, the pilots of the two Qantas aircraft were immediately given a 'double go around' order and managed to avoid a hit. One of the planes was even given a go-ahead to fly at an unsafe altitude.
Senator Xenophon said he received several calls from pilots and air traffic controllers about the poor safety procedures at the Melbourne Airport.
Speaking about this particular incident, Xenophon said:
"This was a near miss. Two aircraft nearly collided in air because of a series of systemic failures."
A Qantas spokesman said:
"This pilots of both aircraft responded quickly and followed standard procedure for a missed approach, landing safely shortly afterwards. There was no loss of separation, meaning that all aircraft involved maintained their minimum distance from each other at all times."
"Qantas is comfortable with the land and hold short procedure at Melbourne Airport, which is used by all domestic airlines at Tullamarine without incident every day."
One of the problems at the Tullamarine Airport are its intersecting runways. Most airports have parallel runways.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators are looking into this incident. | aerospace |

The firm will send one of its own employees. Last year, it was the number one private firm to send an unmanned craft to the International Space Station -- and then bring it home. Its first flight will stay in space three days.
"What's important to me is that I can look myself in the mirror ... [and say] that the risk is acceptable for me to fly," said ex-NASA astronaut Garrett Reisman, who is managing the project for Space X.
Boeing plans a follow-up the next year.
The sad thing about all of this is that Florida, which because of the fortuitous location of Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, has always played a starring role in aeronautic history, will almost certainly fade. SpaceX is in California.
The first rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral in 1950. Just about all of the Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttles took off from there, too.
These days, they prepare for Santa Claus at the JFK space center. Sure they have a space sciences garden and do interesting research, but the center's place in the pantheon of space travel is dying the death of 1,000 cuts.
What's our answer to this sad state of affairs? Like everything else in Central Florida. we will make it into a theme park. The guys who run Kennedy Space Center recently opened up off-limits parts of the park for the first time in decades. And they unveiled a $16 million, 10-year plan to turn the place into Disneyland for space. | aerospace |

Gruntman says the changes will "solidify USC leadership at the Masters level in space engineering education in the United States."
The new requirements will affect both on-campus students and the increasing numbers taking the course through the USC Viterbi School's Distance Education Network. Existing students will have a one-time opportunity to choose between the existing requrements and the new ones,
"The growth of the program convincingly confirms the wisdom and timeliness of establishing, in 2004, a new independent space-focused academic unit in astronautical engineering," Gruntman's letter says.
The MS ASTE degree "is designed for those with undergraduate degrees in engineering, hard science and mathematics who work or wish to work in the space sector of the defense/aerospace industry, government research and development centers and laboratories, or academia," according to its description.

It had been less than a year since man first walked on the Moon, but to the American public, Apollo 13 was just another 'routine' space flight. That is until these words pierced the immense void of space: "Houston, we have a problem." Stranded 205,000 miles from Earth in a crippled spacecraft, astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert fight a desperate battle to survive. Meanwhile, at Mission Control, astronaut Ken Mattingly, flight director Gene Kranz and a heroic ground crew race against time, not to mention the odds, to bring them home.

Very good flight
I flew on this airline this week for a flight from Palma de Mallorca, and there was not a single delay, even before the departure. Admittedly, the flight crew didn't speak French, but they could understand it. The onboard services cost extra, but that's true of most low-cost airlines.
In short, I have no complaints about this company and I recommend it. | aerospace |

Early trials were made with an Atar turbojet mounted in a special test rig, fitted with a four-wheeled undercarriage. After unmanned trials, a piloted version, the "Atar Volant", made its first tethered hovering flight on April 8, 1957 , followed by a free flight on May 14. The next step was to enclose the Atar in a fuselage, surrounded by an annular wing to allow the machine to transition from vertical to horizontal flight.
So it was on only the Coleoptere's 7th flight, when it failed to complete its first transition. The pilot ejected and the Coleoptere shot off at about 50 degrees before crashing, bringing an end to the program. | aerospace |

Their captains welcome them aboard “our beautiful Boeing 747 to (insert destination),” or some variation of this. A child may ask a parent, “What does ‘Boeing’ mean?” and a likely response is that it’s the name of the type of commercial jet they’re on. In fact, the plane was designed and manufactured by The Boeing Company. Though Boeing now also designs, manufactures, and sells rockets and satellites, they’re most famous for their original success: airplanes. The following excerpt from Warbird Factory: North American Aviation in World War II brings us back to where it all began with a brief history of the Boeing’s milestones. The Seeds of a Juggernaut William E. Boeing was born in 1881. His father was a self-made German immigrant, Wilhelm, who earned his wealth in the iron ore and timber businesses but died of influenza when young William was a mere eight years old. A generous inheritance ensured Wilhelm’s only son would receive the best education, which included a stint at Yale.The self-motivated William Boeing, driven to achieve success on the scale of his father, relocated from Virginia to rain-soaked western Washington State while still in his twenties in search of his own fortune as a timber baron. A nationwide construction boom stimulated the demand for lumber and Bill Boeing prospered, but life in the small coastal logging town of Hoquiam soon became mundane. The search for excitement triggered a move to the nearby city of Seattle where Boeing became smitten with airplanes and flying. In 1916, Boeing established an airplane company in the former Heath shipyard, snugly situated on waterfront a short distance upstream from the confluence of the Duwamish Waterway and the tidewater of Seattle’s Elliot Bay. He hired a diverse crew: men with woodworking skills, women who were experts at sewing fabric, and an American-educated Chinese aeronautical engineer named Wong Tsoo. In March 1919 Bill Boeing and Eddie Hubbard won their first air mail contract between Seattle and Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia. The distance was only 72 miles but saltwater (Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca) prevented the construction of a highway or railroad. Boeing sometimes piloted the airplane himself. Photo Credit – Boeing Archives The fledgling Boeing Airplane Company was soon building airplanes for early mail routes. Starting in March 1919, he teamed with Eddie Hubbard to establish the international airmail link between Seattle and Victoria, British Columbia. Boeing occasionally piloted the route himself. The web of airmail routes grew over the following years until the main corridor extended from New York to San Francisco with ever-expanding branches reaching many locales. Early airmail pilots observed with curiosity that individuals sometimes presented themselves at the airfields, seeking transportation. When circumstances permitted, and in exchange for fare, an occasional passenger would sit amid the sacks of mail. The spaces allocated for passengers in airplane designs were expanded. Bill Boeing was the founder and mastermind behind the biggest and most formidable of the aviation consortiums. He had a sharp eye for sizing up people and businesses. When he encountered exceptional men of vision and organizational ability, he recruited them either as partners or employees.The business expanded into other aviation endeavors far from Seattle, as gifted managers with entrepreneurial skills were placed into emerging business opportunities. The capstone of the Boeing corporate pyramid was United Aircraft and Transport Corporation (UATC), an empire created in 1929 when the Boeing firms teamed up with Frederick Rentschler of Pratt & Whitney. Bill Boeing liked doing business with the ebullient Rentschler. The resulting portfolio of companies touched all aspects of commercial and military aviation, including engines,airframes, propellers, and air transport. The list of brand names included Boeing Airplane Company, Stearman,Sikorsky, Hamilton, Chance Vought, and United Air Lines.The Boeing-organized consortium became an economic juggernaut but in 1934 was pilloried by politicians and broken up by antitrust legislation. Buy from an Online Retailer US: UK: Explore the WWII history of the company that later became a part of Boeing and made more aircraft from 1938 to 1944 than any other company in the United States. During World War II, Los Angeles was the ultimate boom town. By the end of the war, the L.A. area had produced 17 percent of all of America’s war needs. North American Aviation, Inc. (NAA), operating out of their main Inglewood, California, plant, which is south of and adjacent to the city, was a key player in that work. From 1938 to 1944, NAA built over 40,000 aircraft, more than any other company in the United States. The bulk of them were of three iconic types designed by NAA: – The P-51 Mustang, arguably the best fighter of WWII. – B-25 Mitchell medium bombers, which saw worldwide combat. – Two-seat military pilot trainers, such as the AT-6 Texan. This is a fascinating story of a remarkable time in aviation history, when American businesses helped fund the arsenal of democracy that helped defeat the Axis powers. Warbird Factory tells this story with over 200 photographs, many of which come directly from the NAA/Boeing archives, where they have resided since WWII. This is an essential book for anyone interested in warbirds, aviation, Boeing/NAA, WWII, and/or the history of Southern California!

IndiGo said the flight on Thursday night was diverted as a precautionary measure following vibrations in the engine for a fraction of a second.
The airline said that an alternate aircraft was arranged for the onward journey of the passengers.
An IndiGo spokesperson said: “An IndiGo flight 6E-859, operating between Delhi and Vadodara was diverted to Jaipur on 14 July 2022.”
The spokesperson added: “There was a caution message indicated to the pilot en route. As a precaution, the pilot diverted the aircraft to Jaipur for further checks. The passengers were accommodated on an alternate aircraft for their onward journey.”
Meanwhile, aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has said that it is looking into the matter and has ordered a probe.
A considerable number of the airline’s aircraft maintenance technicians have gone on sick leaves during the last few days to protest against their low salaries and demand restoration of salaries that were slashed during the Covid-19 pandemic .
Amid the mass sick leave protest, IndiGo on Wednesday said it is in the process of addressing issues related to its employee remuneration. | aerospace |

Her talk entitled “My Journey to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center” dove into the science behind NASA’s greatest creations as well as experiences from her background.
Ms. Veneri works as the Chief of Commercial Ground Systems Branch at the John F. Kennedy Space Center located in Florida. She has contributed to the mechanical systems of many US launch vehicles, such as Delta ll, Delta lV, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Pegasus, Taurus, and many more. With over 200 members of the Viewpoint community in attendance, her inspiration was seen throughout the presentation in the eyes of all the aspiring engineers, scientists, and space explorers. She shared information about her career path as well as facts, insights, and captivating videos about space exploration and the Mars 2020 mission. One comment she said stood out: “All different types of STEM backgrounds are needed and could be used. Whether you are interested in computer science, math, biology, engineering, health science, informational technology, or even medicine, there is a place for you within the NASA community using STEM.”
Ms. Veneri not only worked in the Commercial Grounds System Branch on fluid and mechanical ground systems, but she also previously worked for 18 years in the commercial space industry as a design engineer. STEM Club board member Jackson G. ’21 shared the following thoughts:
“I found that the insight provided by Ms. Veneri on the intersection of industry and government painted an interesting visual of the future of space exploration. Having worked with various companies and organizations over her career, such as Lockheed Martin and NASA, she gave a unique perspective on the evolution of the two together, relaying her belief that one sector will not overtake the other. With companies more focused on advancing technology and governments focused on overall purpose, I am excited to view how this partnership develops—using her perspective as a new means of analysis. Additionally, I was amazed that some of these advanced projects, such as Mars 2020, take multiple years and various teams to develop, yet the engineers cannot guarantee success due to space's unique environments. I found this incredible as it shows the amount of faith, determination, and perseverance required for space exploration.”
With all of her experience, Ms. Veneri was able to touch on the amazing things she has done, and is still doing, to help grow the space industry and to reach for the stars. She decided on becoming a space engineer and did it. This gave the best example of how hard work can transfigure your dream into reality, striving to get better at every moment, exceeding your potential.
Girls in STEM and STEM Club would like to thank Michele Veneri for her amazing presentation and Fiona Wong P’27 ’29 for all of her efforts to make this event happen. | aerospace |

The closures will start taking place early next month and will take four weeks to complete.
Air traffic controllers say this means more work for the pilots -- and could lead to delays. "When there’s no controller in the tower, it then becomes a one-in, one-out operation," said Sarah Dunn, a spokesperson for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, meaning pilots, not controllers, will be coordinating air traffic at these airports. "All the pilots are on the same frequency checking to see who’s landing, who’s coming in and out."
But the FAA says the closures won't affect safety. “We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports,” said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta in a statement.

While certainly qualified, criticism of the pick stems from the fact that Biden could’ve picked the first woman to ever assume the lead role at NASA.
Bill Nelson began his political career as a state lawmaker for Florida in 1972, and by 1978, he represented the state in the House of Representatives. He flew in space alongside NASA astronauts in 1986 aboard the last successful flight of the Columbia space shuttle before its disastrous end. Four years later, he unsuccessfully tried to attain the Democratic nomination for Florida Governor in the 1990 election cycle. The flight with NASA, however, led to him becoming a prominent voice in Congress on matters involved with space and technology. From 2001 to 2019, he served as a Florida Senator until losing the 2018 election to Rick Scott by a narrow margin.
Do you work at NASA or another federal agency? Gear up for retirement with our no-cost webinars on Federal benefits and financial wellbeing:
When former Oklahoma congressman Jim Bridenstine was nominated for the position, which he attained in 2018, Bill Nelson did not lend his support because the “Head of NASA should be a space professional… not a politician.” Apparently, he’s changed his mind as he prepares to take Bridenstine’s place at the top of the agency. Steve Jurczyk is currently occupying the position as “acting” until Nelson, or someone else, is confirmed by the Senate.
What criticism has fallen on the pick orbits around the fact that Nelson is a white man. The Biden Administration and its cabinet are already known for embracing diversity, so many thought the pick to lead NASA would be a woman as only men have ever led the space agency. The first black man to lead NASA was a former marine, Charlie Bolden, who was nominated by Obama. There was speculation in the media that someone like Ellen Stofan, a former scientist at NASA and current director of the Air and Space Museum in DC, would be a solid pick for the job. The White House ultimately nominated Nelson, who is 78 years old, and some were disappointed. However, with his previous experience as a ranking member of the Congressional Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, his qualification to be the head of NASA is seemingly apparent.
In the early 1980s, Sally K. Ride became the first woman in space and Guion Bluford became the first African-American, and NASA has gradually become more diverse since. Black women like Katherine Johnson of Hidden Figures fame and Jeanette Epps, who later this year is set to become the first African-American female to live on the ISS, are integral pieces of both NASA’s past and future. In February this year, NASA renamed their DC headquarters after Mary Jackson, the first black woman engineer to work for the agency.
Biden's Space Policy
Other than requesting a rock from the moon to be displayed in the Oval Office and expressing support for the Artemis Program that began under the previous administration, not much is known about the President’s current opinions or interest regarding the country’s space program. Not mentioning NASA during the 2020 campaign by instead focusing on more urgent issues facing the country due to the pandemic, Biden has not indicated much about upcoming space policy. The Artemis missions, named for the sister of Apollo in Greek Mythology, were started under Trump and sought to get man back on the moon by 2024. Biden has remarked that he wants to continue the project, but with a more realistic timetable that extends further in the future. Other than that, what Biden and Nelson plan to get done at NASA is, for the moment, uncertain.
Until Next Time,

According to Abdul Haris, the managing director of Maldivian’s operator Island Aviation Services (IAS), the pontoon fell off after it caught on an unspecified object while the seaplane was speeding up for take-off at around 9:30 a.m.. The accident had caused the seaplane to slightly keel over on one side, its cockpit submerging into the sea.
However none of the 15 people onboard were injured, assured Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF)’s information officer, Ibrahim Azim.
MNDF soldiers had rushed to the scene to haul the seaplane out of the water.
In a statement released Thursday afternoon, Civil Aviation announced that its team is currently on the scene, investigating the cause of the incident.
A seaplane of Maldivian had also crash landed in the lagoon of the Maldives’ main airport island, Hulhule, early in October due to strong turbulence. | aerospace |

Plane overruns runway
Beginner...land down wind!
Then you have an up hill runway ! When flying into this airport this is very common sight. RWY 10 descent gradient is way too steep for an aircraft with out a stol kit and reverse pitch capabilities.its tight even in Twin Otter on Rwy 10.
Approach over the water is far safer as you can touch down right at the end and roll UP Hill 2100 feet!
he should have gone around. he was wayy to far down the runway to hope to land safely
True to a point: Air speed on approach to fast, Approach to high, flared too late. Did n't go Full power, lift out flaps to 20 degrees, trim for take off , get positive airspeed and then climb out with left crosswind departure,
Landing in the wind is worst in this case. Your approach pattern is left traffic and then you must descent close to the mountain. Ending in only less than two mile short final, with little room for a right crosswind go around. We always take the beach option with the tail wind.

Which celebrity’s real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta?
Pierre-François Bouchard, was an officer in the French Army of engineers serving under Napoleon. He is most famous for discovering the Rosetta Stone in Egypt in 1799.
The Rosetta Stone is inscribed with three versions of a decree issued in Egypt in 196 BC on behalf of King Ptolemy V Epiphanes. The first two sections of text are written in Ancient Egyptian using hieroglyphic and Demotic scripts respectively. But the bottom is written in ancient Greek. Because there are only very minor differences among the three versions, the Rosetta Stone essentially became a decryption key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphic writings – making a deeper understanding of Egyptian history possible.

A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket rose from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station's Launch Complex 41 in Florida at 1:28 p.m. ET, carrying the probe into space to kick off its $671 million mission.
If all goes according to schedule, the bus-sized, 2.7-ton spacecraft will enter Martian orbit next September to study the Red Planet's upper atmosphere over the course of at least one Earth year.
What happened on Mars?
"Maven" is an acronym that stands for Mars Atmophere and Volatile EvolutioN. The mission's objective is to help scientists figure out how the Red Planet's environment changed from a warm, moist place into the chilly wasteland it is today.
Previous missions — including NASA's Curiosity rover, which has been working on Red Planet's surface for more than a year — have found ample geological evidence that Marshad enough liquid water on its surface to be hospitable to life billions of years ago. That's not the case anymore.
"Something clearly happened," said Bruce Jakosky, a planetary scientist at the University of Colorado who serves as Maven's principal investigator.
The leading hypothesis is that Mars was too small to hang onto its global magnetic field over the long term. As a result, the planet lost the kind of magnetic shield that protects Earth's atmosphere from the damaging effects of solar radiation. In this scenario, electrically charged particles from the sun stripped away Mars' air from the top, leaving behind a carbon dioxide atmosphere that's only 1 percent as dense as Earth's. That kind of atmosphere can't retain heat, shield the surface from radiation or sustain liquid water.
There are also hints that some of Mars' atmospheric CO2 was locked up as carbonates in the Red Planet's rocks. How much was stripped away from above, and how much was locked up below?
"We can't go back and study what happened over 4 billion years," Jakosky told reporters, "but we can go and look at how these processes are operating today, and how the processes have changed over time."
Maven's array of nine sensors, built into eight scientific instruments, can monitor the solar radiation hitting the top of Mars' atmosphere, gauge the current rate of atmospheric loss, and map the planet's localized, jumbled-up magnetic "umbrellas." Scientists plan to factor in all those readings to produce better models for the global climate shift that swept over Mars — and changed the odds for life in the process.
A team player
Maven won't be working in isolation: It will be joining three other orbiters and two surface rovers that are already on the job at Mars. Yet another orbiter — India's Mars Orbiter Mission, also known as the Mangalyaan probe — was launched earlier this month and is due to reach Martian orbit just after Maven's arrival.
The teams for Maven and Mangalyaan plan to collaborate in their studies of the Red Planet's atmosphere. For instance, there's been some evidence that methane is being released into the Martian atmosphere, which could hint at biological activity. Curiosityhasn't detected any methane at the surface, and Maven won't be measuring methane because that doesn't mesh with the mission's scientific goals. But Mangalyaan can take a closer look at the methane question, and its results could add to Maven's models.
Maven is destined to be a team player in another sense: NASA's current Mars orbiters are well into their extended missions, and if one of them fails, Maven can help with the task of relaying data between the rovers on the Martian surface and radio antennas back on Earth. That relay function was considered so essential that the Maven team was exempted from the effects of last month's government shutdown.
If the spacecraft launches on time and all goes well, the science team might give it yet another task. Maven could use its Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrograph to observe Comet ISON as it approaches the sun, said the University of Colorado's Nick Schneider, who is the lead scientist for that instrument. "We should, if we have the time, get some really great observations," he said.
A key part of Maven's payload won't be used for observations at all, but will instead bring messages to Mars. The spacecraft carries a decorated DVD that contains the digital code for about 100,000 names, 377 student artworks and more than 1,100 haiku poems — all of which were submitted in response to the Maven team's public outreach campaign. One of the 17-syllable poems puts Maven's climate-centric mission into cosmic perspective:

SUISUN, CA – Congressman John Garamendi (D-Fairfield, CA), a Member of the House Armed Services Committee who represents Travis and Beale Air Force bases and the communities they support, today expressed alarm after the Air Force suggested that budget shortfalls are jeopardizing the KC-10 fleet.
During a teleconference with an Air Force civic leaders group, General Paul Selva, Commander of Air Mobility Command, last night said that the Air Force would be proposing the elimination of the KC-10 fleet in its FY 15 budget proposal. That proposal is likely to be announced in February 2014.
“The era of austerity and sequestration is directly imperiling our national security,” said Congressman Garamendi. “The KC-10 Tankers are a vital national security asset, helping with aerial refueling and logistical support in almost every American conflict since Desert Storm. Retiring the entire KC-10 fleet is terrible public policy. I will continue to press the Air Force to fully justify its proposal to retire the fleet.”
27 of the Air Force’s 59 KC-10s are assigned to Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield. Congressman Garamendi has led Congress in sending two letters, one to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the other to Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell, decrying the early retirement of the KC-10 fleet. The KC-10s are able to serve until at least 2045.
Congressman Garamendi has voted seven times to replace sequestration with a balanced plan to create jobs and responsibly reduce the deficit. Unfortunately, the deal to end the government shutdown and prevent defaulting on American debts preserves the senseless sequester cuts. | aerospace |

A good 1,400 of them are on the European Space Agency's (ESA) risk list due to their trajectory and size and are under special observation. However, ESA and other space agencies are not only observing these asteroids: they are also working on possible models and missions that could prevent serious or even fatal asteroid impacts on Earth in the future.
Compared to the increasingly visible consequences of environmental destruction, the extinction of species and climate change, the threat to humanity from asteroid impacts seems literally far away. However, events such as the Tunguska explosion on 30 June 1908 and the impact of the Chelyabinsk asteroid on 15 February 2013 show that the danger should not be underestimated.
The cause of the Tunguska explosion was most likely the entry of a 30 to 40 metre large asteroid into the Earth's atmosphere. The asteroid exploded about five to fourteen kilometres above the ground, causing a shock wave that uprooted trees over an area of more than 2,000 square kilometres in what is now the Krasnoyarsk region of northern Siberia and smashed windows and doors in the trading settlement of Wanawara, 65 kilometres away. Eyewitnesses could still observe a rising dust fountain in Kirensk, 450 kilometres away. However, no impact crater has been found to date. For this reason, it is assumed that the asteroid broke into many small pieces before the impact. Despite an explosive force comparable to several megatons of TNT, the damage caused in the sparsely populated area was still comparatively minor.
In contrast, almost 1,500 people were injured in the impact of the Chelyabinsk asteroid. This asteroid also broke apart while still in the air, causing a shock wave that damaged numerous buildings around the city of Chelyabinsk in the Russian Urals. A little over six months after the impact, a fragment of the asteroid weighing more than 570 kilograms was recovered from Lake Chebarkul, 80 kilometres southwest of Chelyabinsk. Experts estimate the diameter of the entire asteroid at about 17 to 20 metres.
Could the 1908 and 2013 impacts have been predicted?
The 1908 impact could not have been predicted, whereas prediction would have been theoretically possible for the 2013 impact. Until 1890, asteroids could only be found by comparing telescopic observations with existing celestial maps. Due to the relatively low light sensitivity of the human eye, however, this approach only allowed the discovery of very bright asteroids. It was not until the advent of photography that it became possible to detect faint objects by using particularly light-sensitive emulsions with long exposure times and tracking the object with the telescope. This led to a rapid increase in the number of known asteroids.
Since the 1990s, the search for asteroids has been conducted using automated search programmes. This systematic scanning of the sky has led to new asteroids being discovered almost daily today. The Chelyabinsk asteroid nevertheless remained undetected until its impact. This was due to its comparatively small size and its approach from the direction of the Sun.
What are the options for protecting Earth from asteroids?
The well-filled risk lists of the space agencies and the recurring reports of close flybys show that it is only a matter of time before the next larger asteroid comes dangerously close to Earth on its orbit through our solar system or even hits it. Of course, discovering the object in time is only half the battle in such a case. The other half is the application of civil protection measures and the development of suitable defence methods.
One defence method that ESA and NASA are currently working on together is the deflection of an asteroid with a so-called kinetic impactor, i.e. a special space probe. The project is called AIDA (Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment).
The AIDA mission: DART and AIM
The first concept study for the AIDA mission was presented back in February 2015. The mission concept at that time envisaged a mission with two space probes: the impact probe DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) designed by NASA and the observation probe AIM (Asteroid Impact Mission). The latter was to be contributed by ESA. The near-Earth double asteroid Didymos was selected as the test object. Didymos consists of a main body with a diameter of about 800 metres and a smaller body with a diameter of just under 170 metres, which orbits the main body at a distance of about one kilometre and is called Dimorphos. The mission schedule called for DART to impact Dimorphos and for the effects to be documented and transmitted to Earth by AIM. However, at the ESA Ministerial Council Meeting in December 2016, no funds were approved for the mission, which amounted to ESA withdrawing from the project. NASA then decided to carry out the DART mission anyway. Observation of the impact and measurements of the orbit change were to be carried out by observatories on Earth.
Hera as successor to AIM
However, at the ESA Ministerial Council Meeting in November 2019, the concept for an alternative mission to AIM was approved by the ESA member states. The new probe is called Hera and will be realised by OHB as prime contractor. The project is subject to a very tight schedule, as Hera must launch as early as 2024 in order to arrive at the Didymos system at a time that allows sufficient radio contact with Earth. NASA's DART probe has already been on its way to the Didymos system since 24 November 2021 and will hit Dimorphos on 26 September at a speed of about 6.5 kilometres per second. The immediate consequences of the impact can only be observed from Earth. However, without knowing the exact dimensions of the resulting impact crater, the change in Dimorphos' orbit caused by the impact cannot be precisely determined.
This is where the Hera probe comes into play. It will arrive at the Didymos system in 2026 and conduct a detailed investigation of the impact site and the properties of Dimorphos. To do this, Hera will carry two mini-satellites, in addition to its own instruments, which will detach from the probe after arriving at the Didymos system and conduct experiments independently.
Only the data provided by Hera allow a comprehensive interpretation of DART's impact and thus an assessment of the basic effectiveness of using a kinetic impactor for asteroid defence. Thereby, the AIDA collaboration between ESA and NASA is helping to lay the foundation for a practically applicable planetary defence strategy. If the approaching celestial body is detected in time, events such as the Tunguska explosion or the impact of the Chelyabinsk asteroid can thus hopefully be prevented in the future. | aerospace |

According to The Aerospace Corporation, a government-funded space research center that tracks debris re-entry from orbit.
China launched a new laboratory module called the Wentian to its Tiangong space station from Hainan Island in the South China Sea earlier this week. The missile carrying the module, the Long March 5B, will make an uncontrolled re-entry.
This isn’t the first time debris from China’s space program has tumbled through the atmosphere with an air of excitement.
In May 2021, the world watched in suspense as it tried to determine the location of the remains of a missile of the same class Carrying the first module for the Tiangong space station would crash.
After days of tense surveillance by scientists and various agencies, including the United States Space Command, The rocket re-entered the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean.
Now there is a replica.
The rocket, China’s largest, measures about 175 feet and weighs 23 tons. according to the Aerospace Corporation. It’s far too early to say exactly where it will fall.
The US Space Command said in a statement that the location of the rocket’s re-entry last year is possible not “be located until within hours of its re-entry”. an agency A spokesman told CNN it has been monitoring the space debris since launch this week.
However, experts emphasize that the risk to people in general and to the United States is extremely low.
“We estimate that basically only 3% of the ground track is over the US,” said Lael Woods, director at The Aerospace Corporation.
In general, space agencies try to control the reentry of rockets over a certain size to ensure they land in a location that poses no threat to humans, according to Marlon Sorge, director of Aerospace Corporation’s Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies.
If an object has a 1 in 10,000 chance of hitting an area where it could hurt someone, NASA will try to control its re-entry, Sorge told USA TODAY.
JAMES WEBB DISCOVERIES:What the first images from the James Webb Space Telescope tell us
“It’s basically a low-risk thing, but it’s a lot higher than it should be. It’s 10 times higher than our thresholds,” Ted Muelhaupt, a reentry debris expert who works at Aerospace Corporation, told USA TODAY on Wednesday.
“But the fact that we’re having this conversation; The fact that there are people out there following it…watching it…is an unnecessary thing. Even if nothing happens, there’s a price for people being ready if something does happen.”
NASA has in the past censured China’s space agency for allowing uncontrolled re-entry.
“It is clear that China is not upholding responsible standards regarding its space debris,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement following the reentry of last year’s rocket debris.

From what I understand the project involves a swarm of tiny drones which communicate with each other (via ad-hoc peer-to-peer network connections) that can be sent into disaster zones to find out more information about what happened or to search for survivors. These little guys' role is to provide an exact mapping of the layout and give first responders as many information as possible about the situation. Since they have to be small enough to fit anywhere, a single drone will not be able to carry too many sensors so this is why an entire swarm is necessary.
If this research turns out to be a success, the resulting drones could be immensely helpful in all kinds of critical situations such as explosions, earthquakes, tsunamis and even smaller scaled disasters such as house fires. Pei Zhang, an associate research professor, stated: "These places are very dangerous for rescuers to go, so we don’t want to just blindly send people inside. [..] Instead, we want to get these things in before people go in and determine if there are people that need help".
In Mr. Zhang's vision, one of the best solutions would be to create a large drone (pretty much like a mothership) which will then launch the small amount of tiny drones near the disaster area. This solution doesn't sound so farfetched as the large drone would be much better in flying in rough conditions. (At such a small size, even a gush of wind could throw the tiny drones off-course or make them crash.) The already existing mothership prototype can stay in the air for about half an hour, and can cover a distance of up to 16 Km (10 miles). The small drones development, however, is still in progress and unfortunately, by Mr. Zhang's estimate, it will take at least 10 more years for the project to be completed and the rescue drones to become widely used in emergency responses. | aerospace |

Flying by private jet charter is an increasingly attractive option for companies and corporations returning to travelling for business.
The past few years have been challenging for the aviation sector, which in turn, across the industry there has been a significant decline in business travel. However, the private aviation sector is poised for a comeback bigger and better than ever.
According to the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA), almost nine in ten suppliers (86%) expect that spending by corporate customers in 2023 will be much higher (26%) or somewhat higher (60%) compared to 2022.
Air Charter Scotland has built a reputation as one of the most reliable private jet operators in the UK and is the preferred private jet operator for some of the world’s largest businesses. We are committed to doing everything possible to exceed all expectations.
1. Enhanced Safety
Safety considerations are driving many individuals and companies to look to private aviation for their business travel requirements. At Air Charter Scotland, we’re committed to doing everything possible to exceed all expectations for your clients.
We pride ourselves on our safety record, managing a fleet of business jets with bases in Glasgow, London Luton and Malta. We have a dedicated and experienced team operating under the strictest of regulations overseen by the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority, Transport Malta and the European Aviation Safety Agency. As an operator of public transport flights, we meet the same safety standards as Europe’s largest airlines, and we strive to better them.
2. Flexibility for even the most complex schedule
Of course, safety considerations are just one factor that is driving the return of business travel for the private aviation sector. Many business travellers are also looking for the convenience and flexibility that private aviation provides when it comes to scheduling and routing.
With Air Charter Scotland, our dedicated team will tailor private flights around even the busiest of schedules to ensure your clients get where they need to be when they need to be there.
Travelling by private jet is a seamless process and offers a level of discretion and security that is unattainable on commercial airlines.

UTC subsidiary Sikorsky Aerospace Maintenance won the largest award -- a $15.9-million modification to a previously awarded firm-fixed-price contract to perform depot-level maintenance work on aircraft operated by adversary squadrons -- the second such contract it has won so far this month. Adversary squadrons are comprised of U.S. pilots flying -- importantly -- either foreign-built planes (such as Russian MiGs), or older U.S. planes no longer in active service, flown in a style similar to those flown by foreign air forces. The unusual "air forces" involved in this training require specialized knowledge in how to maintain their planes. Wednesday's award extends Sikorsky's contract to maintain these planes through December 2013.
Sister company Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. won a separate $10.1 million award under a previously signed basic ordering agreement to perform engineering work necessary to convert a single UH-3H helicopter into a UH-3D Trainer Aircraft. This work should be completed by October 2014.
Finally, UTC's Pratt and Whitney subsidiary was awarded a $10.8 million firm-fixed-price, sole-source contract to supply aircraft engine compressors and spare parts to the Air Force. Completion date: December 30, 2016. | aerospace |

The Russian planes were temporarily so close to the U.S. aircraft that the jet was experiencing turbulence and was unable to navigate at its ordinary full capability. The U.S. noted that the incident could have put those involved in serious danger.
Check out video of the incident below:
Apparently, the Russian planes made multiple passes within 100 feet of the U.S. plane. Gen. Jeff Harrigian, who’s the commander for U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Air Forces Africa, said:
‘Actions like these increase the potential for midair collisions, are unnecessary, and inconsistent with good airmanship and international flight rules. While the Russian aircraft were operating in international airspace, they jeopardized the safety of flight of the aircraft involved. We expect them to operate within international standards set to ensure safety and prevent accidents.’
The U.S. plane, an official said, “was conducting routine operations in international airspace exercising our freedom of navigation and overflight.” On the same day as the incident, the U.S. led a show of force in which some U.S. B-52s, all of which were equipped to handle nuclear weapons, flew over every single country that is currently in the 30-member North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), linking up with local aircraft along the way. Two U.S.-based bombers flew over the U.S. and Canada, while four U.S. bombers currently based in the U.K. did flyovers in the other countries.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg tweeted on the day of the show of force that with the display, the U.S. supposedly “shows their powerful commitment” to the alliance. CNN noted that the show of force unfolded amidst “lingering questions about the Trump administration’s commitment to the alliance following a recent decision to reduce US troop levels in Europe.” Trump has claimed that his withdrawal of U.S. troops from Europe, who were slated to leave Germany specifically, was because of Germany falling behind a goal of spending 2 percent of its GDP on national defense. An original agreement among NATO members included the stipulation to hit national defense spending that was the equivalent of 2 percent of GDP among the respective member countries by 2024, not by whenever Trump felt like it. | aerospace |

Characteristics of a Private Jet Charter Business
Private jet charter companies typically maintain a fleet of aircraft of various sizes and types to cater to different passenger needs. The fleet may include small jets, mid-size jets, large jets, turboprops, or helicopters.
Booking and Scheduling
Customers can request a private jet charter through the charter company's website, or app, or by contacting their sales representatives. The charter company assists in arranging the desired aircraft, departure, and arrival airports, and travel schedules based on the customer's preferences.
Safety and Compliance
Private jet charter companies adhere to rigorous safety standards. They ensure that their aircraft are properly maintained, comply with aviation regulations, and employ experienced pilots and crew members.
Private jet charters are typically priced on an hourly basis. The cost is influenced by factors such as the type of aircraft, the distance traveled, the duration of the trip, and additional services requested by the customer.
Empty Leg Flights
Empty leg flights, also known as empty sectors or one-way charter flights, refer to flights where an aircraft is returning to its base or repositioning without any passengers on board.
These flights occur when a private jet or charter aircraft has been chartered for a one-way trip and needs to return to its home base or prepare for the next scheduled flight.
Empty leg flights can provide cost-saving opportunities. Charter companies may offer discounted rates for these flights since the aircraft is already scheduled for repositioning.
Depending on the customer's preferences and requirements, there may be additional charges for services such as catering, ground transportation, overnight stays, and de-icing, among others.
Benefits Of A Private Charter Jet
Flexibility and Convenience
Private jet charters offer the flexibility to choose departure times, airports, and flight itineraries based on the customer's preferences. This allows for efficient travel and reduces the need for time-consuming layovers or connections.
Privacy and Comfort
Private jet travel provides a high level of privacy, as the aircraft is exclusively reserved for the customer and their invited guests. The cabins are designed for comfort, offering spacious seating, luxurious amenities, and personalized services.
Private jets can access a wider range of airports, including smaller and more convenient ones that are not served by commercial airlines. This eliminates the need for extensive ground transportation and reduces overall travel time.
Private jet cabins are equipped with modern communication and business facilities, allowing passengers to conduct meetings, work on projects, or simply relax in a conducive environment.
Private jet charters offer a high degree of customization to meet individual preferences and requirements. Customers can choose catering options, and onboard entertainment, and tailor the overall travel experience to their liking.
Customers are advised to research and compare offerings, read reviews, and engage in direct communication with charter companies to ensure their specific needs and expectations are met.
How Does Private Jet Charter Work and Is it Any Different Than Other Categories of Chartered Airlines?
Private jet charter works by providing individuals, groups, or corporations with on-demand access to private aircraft for their travel needs. Here's how it typically works and how it differs from other categories of chartered airlines:
Request and Booking
The customer contacts a private jet charter company with their travel requirements, including departure location, destination, travel dates, number of passengers, and any specific preferences. The charter company then assists in selecting the appropriate aircraft for the trip.
Private jet charter companies maintain a fleet of aircraft of various sizes and types. The selection of the aircraft depends on factors such as the number of passengers, distance to be traveled, and customer preferences.
The charter company ensures that the chosen aircraft can accommodate the customer's needs and offers the desired level of comfort and amenities.
Pricing and Agreement
The charter company provides a quote for the trip based on the chosen aircraft, flight duration, and any additional services requested by the customer.
Once the pricing is agreed upon, the customer signs a charter agreement or contract outlining the terms and conditions of the charter.
On the day of travel, the customer arrives at the designated private terminal or Fixed Base Operator (FBO) where the private jet is located.
There, they go through a streamlined check-in process, which is typically faster and less formal compared to commercial airlines. The passengers board the aircraft, and the flight departs according to the agreed schedule.
Enhanced Cabin Experience
Private jets offer luxurious and comfortable cabin environments. The seating arrangements, amenities, and services are designed to provide a premium experience, allowing passengers to relax, work, or conduct meetings onboard.
It's important to note that private jet charter services can vary among providers, and each charter company may have its own operational procedures and offerings.
Customers are advised to research and communicate directly with charter companies to ensure they understand the specific services, pricing, and terms associated with their private jet charter experience.
What is The Average Cost of a Private Jet Charter?
The cost of a private jet charter can vary significantly depending on various factors, including the type of aircraft, distance traveled, travel itinerary, duration of the trip, and additional services or amenities requested.
Here's a general overview of the average cost range for private jet charters:
Light jets are smaller aircraft suitable for shorter trips with fewer passengers. The average hourly charter rate for light jets ranges from $2,000 to $4,000.
Mid-Size Jets: Mid-size jets offer more cabin space and increased range compared to light jets. The average hourly charter rate for mid-size jets is typically between $3,000 and $5,000.
Super Midsize Jets
Super midsize jets provide enhanced comfort and extended range capabilities. The average hourly charter rate for super midsize jets falls within the range of $4,000 to $7,000.
Large jets offer spacious cabins and long-range capabilities, making them suitable for transcontinental or intercontinental travel. The average hourly charter rate for large jets can range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more.
It's important to note that these average costs are approximate and can vary based on factors such as aircraft availability, geographic location, demand, and specific market conditions.
There may also be additional charges for overnight stays, positioning flights (if applicable), and specific services or amenities requested by the customer.

Dubbed Crew-3, the mission will use a new Crew Dragon capsule built by the California rocket company – here’s what you need to know.
The Crew-3 astronauts (from left to right): NASA astronauts Kayla Barron, Raja Chari, and Thomas Marshburn, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Matthias Maurer[/caption]
Crew-3 mission explained
Crew-3 will carry four astronauts – three from Nasa and one from the European Space Agency (ESA) – to orbit.
They will liftoff on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule called “Endurance” atop one of the company’s reusable Falcon 9 rockets.
Crew member Raja Chari explained in a news conference that the name works on several levels.
He said: “First off, it’s just a tribute to the the tenacity of human spirit as we push humans and machines farther than we ever have, going both to stay in extended stays for low earth orbit, opening it up to private companies and private astronauts, and knowing that we’ll continue our exploration to go even farther.”
The destination is the International Space Station (ISS) roughly 250 miles above the Earth’s surface.
Once there, the spacefarers will join the ISS crew, where they will carry out maintenance and science experiments over a period of six months.

The mission will be the first time that SpaceX has flown Endurance.
It follows the successful Inspiration-4 mission, the first all-civilian mission flown by SpaceX.
The flight brought newfound attention to the company, thanks in part to a five-part Netflix documentary covering the launch.
Crew-3 will be SpaceX’s fourth crewed mission for NASA and its fifth crewed mission overall.
Who will be on board?
Four spacefarers will be on board Endurance when it lifts off.
They include three Nasa astronauts: Raja Chari, mission commander; Tom Marshburn, pilot; and Kayla Barron, mission specialist.
In addition, ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer will serve as a mission specialist on the mission.
Launch time and how to watch
The launch window opens at 2:21am EST (7:21am BST) on Sunday, October 31.
The crew will liftoff on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The Crew Dragon Endurance is scheduled to dock to the space station at 12:10am EST (5:10am BST) Monday, November 1.
Prelaunch activities, launch, and docking will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.
What is SpaceX?
Here’s what you need to know…
SpaceX is a cash-flushed rocket company that wants to take man to Mars.
It was set up by eccentric billionaire Elon Musk in 2002 and is based in Hawthorne, California.
SpaceX’s first aim was to build rockets that can autonomously land back on Earth for refurbishment and re-use.
The technology makes launching and operating space flights more efficient, and therefore cheaper.
SpaceX currently uses its reusable Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets to fly cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) for Nasa.
It also carries satellites and other space tech into orbit for various government agencies and multinational companies.
The company took astronauts to the ISS for the first time in 2020.
Other future missions involve carrying tourists to the ISS and astronauts to the Moon and Mars.
Musk has repeatedly said he believes humanity must colonise Mars to save itself from extinction.
He plans to get a SpaceX rocket to the Red Planet by 2027.

Flight is a phenomenon that has long been a part of the natural world heavier- than-air flight is made possible by a careful balance of four physical forces: lift, drag, to further understand how an airfoil creates lift, it is necessary to use two thermodynamics, aerodynamics, fluid mathematics, and physics all play a role. The coriolis force applies to movement on rotating objects instead, it is just the ground moving at a different speed than an object in the air this means most planes are not flown in straight lines, even if the airports are directly across the continent term, part of speech, definition, encyclopedic entry.

Air — the stuff that's all around you you can still feel the air, but your hand is able to move through it more smoothly than when your hand was a long flight occurs when these four forces — drag, gravity, thrust, and lift — are balanced. Although it's true that the shape of an airplane's wings play a significant role in its for an airplane moving through air, the force acting downwards on its body is its 'weight' (slightly different from the 'mass' of the airplane, by the way) to better understand the forces acting on an airplane in flight, take a look at this image. Objects falling through a fluid eventually reach terminal velocity, when the resultant force acting on them is zero and they are moving at a steady speed weight.
All the forces (and moments) acting on an airplane are a result of pressure forces of the forces and, in addition to forces, are part of rigid body motion analysis to understand this consider the drag force equation: d = (1/2)cρav2, where c. Planes and birds are both affected by the same forces in flight we all know that gravity is a force that pulls everything towards the earth's surface this pull then, because the plane is moving faster, drag (air resistance) is.

News: TigerShark unmanned aircraft tested at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground
YUMA PROVING GROUND, Ariz. – U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground’s position at the forefront of Army modernization has garnered immense acclaim in recent years, but its importance to developmental testing dates back decades.
One system that cut its teeth at YPG from its earliest days is the TigerShark, an unmanned aerial system (UAS) that has flown thousands of hours in combat theaters.
“The autopilot in this airframe is amazing,” said Troy Rodriguez, YPG test coordinator. “It is a reliable workhorse that is very accurate when it comes to the flight profile that is programmed into it.
Today’s TigerShark flies many miles away from its ground controller and provides high-quality video for upwards of eight hours, both day and night, as it loiters quietly high overhead. It boasts laser radar that can see through obstructions like foliage and camouflage to produce three-dimensional images of an object. All of these capabilities were integrated into the platform over the past 15 years, and the vast majority of testing for each subsequent improvement occurred here.
“The TigerShark of today is nothing like when we started,” said David Reed, Navair electronics engineer. “When we started, it was basically a big radio-controlled toy. Now, it is a mature UAV system.”
The TigerShark was a workhorse of surveillance and reconnaissance operations in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2006 and 2014, and continues to undergo testing at YPG today.
“We’ve done over 10,000 combat missions and 75,000 flight hours in theater,” said Reed. “We’re not currently deployed in theater, but we are testing new developmental payloads for other programs of record.”
YPG’s clear, stable air and extremely dry climate along with vast institutional UAS testing knowledge makes it an attractive location to host this kind of work. Also important to the mission is the proving ground’s robust sensor-testing workload and ability to control a large swath of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. YPG has more than 500 permanent radio frequencies, and several thousand temporary ones in a given month.
“The weather is phenomenal, and YPG has a tremendous amount of restricted airspace,” said Reed. “We have at least 330 days of good flying weather every year.”
The vast range and air space here means the testers can easily evaluate things like fuel consumption and the ability to smoothly hand-off control of the craft between controllers located in multiple ground control stations.
The TigerShark was renowned for its reliability in Southwest Asia, which testers attribute to the extensive evaluations that occurred at YPG.
“We were able to test in a similar dry, very hot desert environment,” said Reed. “Our electrical and engine systems were really up to par because of the testing we did here.”

In a liquid rocket, the propellants, the fuel and the oxidizer, are stored separately as liquids and are pumped into the combustion chamber of the nozzle where burning occurs.
What are the two types of rockets?
Rockets can either use solid or liquid fuel. Liquid fuel uses liquid-oxygen and fuel create a controlled explosion that can be regulated and turned off if necessary. Solid fuel rockets use a premixed solid fuel and oxidizer formula. Once it is ignited, it cannot be turned off, but is simpler, safer, and cheaper.
What are the four types of rocket engines?
The engine types: liquid, solid and hybrid … and a fourth
- Liquid rocket motor. To burn a rocket motor, three things are needed: fuel, oxygen and heat. …
- Solid rocket motors. …
- Hybrid rocket motors. …
- Electrical Thruster.
What type of engine is a rocket engine?
Rocket engines are reaction engines. The basic principle driving a rocket engine is the famous Newtonian principle that “to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” A rocket engine is throwing mass in one direction and benefiting from the reaction that occurs in the other direction as a result.
How many types of rockets are there?
Liquid rockets can be further categorized into three groups: monopropellant rockets (have single propellant), bipropellant rockets (have two different propellants), and more advanced tripropellant rockets (with three propellants).
What are the 3 rocket engines?
The three most common types of chemical engines are:
- Solid rockets.
- Hybrid rockets.
- Liquid rockets.
What are the 3 types of rockets?
Rockets today are generally divided into a few different types.
- Solid-Fuel Rocket. The oldest and simplest of the types of rockets use solid fuel for thrust. …
- Liquid-Fuel Rocket. Liquid-fuel rockets, as the name suggests, use liquid propellants to create thrust. …
- Ion Rocket. …
- Plasma Rocket.
What is a full flow rocket engine?
Full Flow means that all of the propellant (fuel and oxidizer) flows through the turbines that power the fuel and oxidizer pumps. Closed Cycle means that all of the pump turbine motor exhaust goes into the rocket engine combustion chamber.
What is the most common rocket engine?
The most common rocket engine is the chemical type in which hot exhaust gases are produced by chemical combustion. The chemicals or propellants, are of two types, fuel and oxidizer corresponding to gasoline and oxygen in an automobile engine.
Is a jet engine a rocket?
The main difference between them is that jets get the oxygen to burn fuel from the air and rockets carry their own oxygen, which allows them to operate in space. … Jet engines have two openings (an intake and an exhaust nozzle). Rocket engines only have one opening (an exhaust nozzle).
What is the biggest Estes rocket engine?
“E” engines are the largest engines Estes produces and are available only to those over the age of 18. They are used to launch much larger and heavier rockets. The important thing to know is that as you advance from one letter to the next, the thrust increases by 2 power.
What fuel do rockets use?
Today, liquid hydrogen is the signature fuel of the American space program and is used by other countries in the business of launching satellites. In addition to the Atlas, Boeing’s Delta III and Delta IV now have liquid-oxygen/liquid-hydrogen upper stages.
What is the most efficient rocket engine?
The most efficient two rocket fuels would be azadoazide azide and chlorine triflouride. AA is the most explosive non-nuclear compound that exists due to the unstable nitrogen bonds.
What was the first rocket?
American college professor and scientist Robert Goddard built and flew the world’s first liquid propellant rocket on March 16, 1926. Its flight, though unimpressive (it climbed only 12.5 meters), was the forerunner of the Saturn V Moon rocket 43 years later.
Who discovered rocket?
Worcester, Massachusetts, U.S. Robert Hutchings Goddard (October 5, 1882 – August 10, 1945) was an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor who is credited with creating and building the world’s first liquid-fueled rocket.
What kind of rockets does NASA use?
NASA’s Space Launch System, or SLS, is a super heavy-lift launch vehicle that provides the foundation for human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. With its unprecedented power and capabilities, SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and cargo directly to the Moon on a single mission. | aerospace |

In a recent decision, the Court rejected a protester’s creative attempt to challenge a CPAR as part of a bid protest. Instead, the Court held, a CPAR ordinarily must be challenged through the FAR’s claims and appeals processes–although the Court appeared to leave the door open to bid protest challenges in limited circumstances.
The Court’s decision in ITility, LLC v. United States, No. 15-237C (2016) involved a past performance evaluation ITility, LLC received from the U.S. Air Force under a program management support contract. After various disputes arose, the Air Force issued a stop work order and allowed the period of performance to expire. The Air Force subsequently issued an interim CPAR report concerning the contract. The CPAR presumably rated ITility’s performance negatively (the actual rating is redacted from the Court’s decision).

A Russian Soyuz rocket roared into orbit Wednesday carrying Malaysia's first spaceflyer and a veteran astronaut team on a tricky mission to build up the International Space Station (ISS).
Space station commander Peggy Whitson -- the first woman ever to lead an ISS mission -- launched into space alongside veteran cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and Malaysian astronaut Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor. Their Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft rocketed into orbit at 9:22 a.m. EDT (1322 GMT), though it was just after sunset at their Baikonur Cosmodrome launch site on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
Whitson, with Malenchenko as flight engineer, plan to host up to three visiting shuttle crews and a series of rotating crewmembers during their six-month mission.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Whitson told reporters in a prelaunch press conference of her busy Expedition 16 mission. "'I'm confident in our ability to accomplish all our tasks because I like a challenge."
A new connecting module, the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory, the first piece of Japan's three-segment Kibo laboratory and a robotic arm addition are slated to arrive during Expedition 16. Europe's first unmanned cargo ship, dubbed Jules Verne, is also due at the ISS during the mission.
"Historically speaking, this has got to be one of the pinnacles of the program," NASA ISS program manager Mike Suffredini said Tuesday from Baikonur on NASA TV. "I was talking to Peggy earlier and she's chomping at the bit."
Whitson and Malenchenko will replace the station's current Expedition 15 commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and flight engineer Oleg Kotov during a nine-day crew swap once they dock at the ISS on Friday. NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson, currently aboard the space station, will stay on for the first stage of Expedition 16.
"We're really looking forward to seeing them in just a few days," Whitson said.
Yurchikhin and Kotov will return to Earth on Oct. 21 after completing a six-month spaceflight. Shukor land with the Expedition 15 crew after his own 11-day spaceflight, during which he plans to perform a series of experiments and observe the Earth. Shukor said he was honored to be chosen from the initial 11,000 applicants to serve as Malaysia's first astronaut, or "angkasawan."
"I am ready to go to space," he said in a prelaunch briefing.
Shukor, a 35-year-old orthopedic surgeon, is flying to the ISS as part of a deal between Malaysia and Russia to purchase Russian-built military jets. In addition to his experiments, Shukor is bringing traditional Malaysian items and food to the space station and hopes to practice his Muslim faith while in orbit during the final days of the holy month of Ramadan.
"Being a Muslim and going into space is a big responsibility for me, not only for Malaysian people but also to Muslims all over the world," he said. "I'm not sure how, but I'm sure I'll find a way to pray and fast in space, and I'll come back and share it."
Crew swap ahead
Shukor and the Expedition 16 crew are due to dock at the ISS Friday at 10:52 a.m. EDT (1452 GMT), with Malenchenko serving as Soyuz commander during the two-day spaceflight.
As the three spaceflyers launched into orbit, seven other astronauts trained for their own spaceflight. The seven-astronaut crew of NASA's STS-120 mission rehearsed plans for an Oct. 23 launch aboard Discovery at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The 14-day mission, led by female shuttle commander and veteran astronaut Pamela Melroy, will deliver the Harmony connecting node to the ISS and lay the foundation for future international laboratories. The shuttle flight marks the first time two spacecraft commanded by female astronauts will fly at the same time.
"We're very excited about that," Melroy told reporters Tuesday. "In fact, the only problem with Peggy's launch is that we're going to be strapping in so we won't be able to watch it live."
But before Discovery's astronauts can launch toward the ISS, the Expedition 16 crew must take control of the orbital laboratory. The Expedition 15 astronauts have spent the last few weeks preparing for their relief crew's arrival and watched a live video broadcast of today's successful launch.
Anderson gave two thumbs and a wide grin to video cameras aboard the ISS after the liftoff. He will return to Earth later this month during the STS-120 mission, which will bring the first of three new Expedition 16 crewmembers to the space station during each of the upcoming shuttle flights.
During a prelaunch news conference, Whitson received a commemorative whip "for the men to remember that you're the boss," according to the gift's presenter. All four of Expedition 16's rotating crewmembers -- Anderson, NASA astronaut Daniel Tani, European Space Agency astronaut Leopold Eyharts and NASA spaceflyer Garrett Reisman -- are men.
"I'm hoping I won't be needing this, but just in case," joked Whitson. | aerospace |

This is the Icon A5, a monoplane seaplane high wing that has become their first days of production.
One of its most striking features is being able to take off and land both on water and on land, but it adds an interesting design with folding wings and the fact that they say is one of the easiest aircraft to pilot the world.
A plane that almost fits in the garage
Those who have thus proved the claim, and indeed after eight years developing the result that expectation generated revenues of $ 450 million in orders to users that yes, they have to wait up to 3 years due to the enormous expectations which has made the manufacturer cannot cope with how quickly demand would.
This seaplane is aimed at pilots who have the certification to fly below 10,000 feet in good condition and always day, which facilitates obtaining a permit: half hours are required than a conventional permission, although it is true those pilots with better preparation and more experience can use in more complex situations.
The creator of this seaplane was pilot of American Airlines and also flew F-16s for the Air Force. Sometime later he realized he wanted to offer the possibility to more and more people, and the result is the Icon A5 spoken of as a “democratizing aviation”, a vehicle that goes a step beyond ultra light starring the sports aviation and it even has an assumable for what is handled in this area price: $ 250,000 may be yours.

That ease of driving is enhanced with features like its “anti-spin” system that allows a pilot to maintain control of the airplane even a drop in losses that may complicate the flight of the apparatus. This is avoided with such systems that block the use of too steep angles of attack: the plane alerts you of the error, but you can logically continue climbing.
Not only that: on the plane is an emergency parachute included for cases that even with these security measures we have lost control of the plane. That coupled with the ability to land both on land and in water -yes make this two-seater is also biplaza- an entire object of desire for fans to sport aviation. | aerospace |

This will be the biggest military purchase and sale agreement between Pakistan and China. Beijing has officially announced the sale of 48 wing lions-2 drone to Islamabad. Pakistan Air Force announced the agreement final.
Pakistan Air Force’s Sheridan Acrobatic Team announced on Sunday that their government account has been finalized; the ultra modern technology purchase agreement is final.
But nothing has been said from Beijing or Islamabad about how much drones are being bought. Even when China will supply or when will Islamabad be handed over, it has not been clarified.
At the same time, the air force’s acrobatic team and China’s Shandu Aircraft Industrial Group will jointly create these drones.
On the other hand, there was no response from the drone maker Shangdu Aircraft Industrial Group about the deal finalized. But Chinese government media Xinhua news earlier reported in a report that the flight of Wing Lu-2 drone in February was successful and the test was successful. The report claimed that the company received orders for selling drones from different countries before successful flight. Although the name of Pakistan was not mentioned | aerospace |

This deal is unique as it is the first time this type of equipment has been sold to a Gulf country.
The agreement highlights how, for certain Arab countries, national concerns like security and the economy have taken precedence over resolving the protracted Israeli-Palestinian problem.
Rafael’s cutting-edge Python-5 and I-Derby missiles are incorporated into the transportable system to offer short, medium, and long-range defence against a variety of threats, including cruise missiles, attack aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and more.
The device can engage several threats simultaneously within an 80 km range regardless of weather due to its wireless data link communication.
Since the signing of the Abraham Accords, Israeli defence officials have met with their regional counterparts over 100 times and inked agreements worth more than $3 billion in an effort to sign defence agreements and strengthen military ties.
Last week, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed visited Israel and met with President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Yair Lapid and Defence Minister Benny Gantz.
Back in April, at least eight Boeing C-17 Globemaster heavy transport aircraft belonging to the UAE Air Force landed in Israel.
This type of airplane is designed to carry large payloads of 164,900 pounds, land on runways that are less 3,000 feet long, and travel 2,400 nautical miles.
All the airplanes landed at the Israel Air Force’s Nevatim and took off about an hour after landing. Although the reason for the large transport aircraft’s presence in Israel has never been revealed, it is assumed that they were most likely bringing equipment associated with bilateral defence agreements.
As the UAE is continuing to take part in the military campaign together with Saudi Arabia against the Iranian militia in the region, it has been subject to a drone missile attack back in January. With the Abraham Accords agreement normalising relations between the two countries, Israel agreed to supply the UAE with the assistance required to help protect the Gulf nation from such incidents in the future.
Due to the Iranian attempt to expand its influence in the region, Israel and the UAE have already been covertly cooperating for years prior to the normalisation of the relationships. Both countries have significantly improved their intelligence-sharing and military relations in order to address growing Iranian dominance and be able to defend themselves from any potential attacks. | aerospace |

Bean died at Texas' Houston Methodist Hospital after he suddenly fell ill while travelling in Indiana a fortnight prior, NASA said in an obituary released on the Bean family's behalf.
‘Alan was the strongest and kindest man I ever knew. He was the love of my life and I miss him dearly,’ his wife of 40 years Leslie Bean said.
The native Texan was a US Navy test pilot when selected as a trainee in NASA's third group of astronauts in October 1963.
He flew into space twice, first as Apollo 12's lunar module pilot in November 1969 when he became the fourth person to walk on the moon. During that mission he installed the first nuclear-powered generator on the moon, conducted several experiments and collected rocks and soil for study back on Earth.
In July 1973, Bean commanded the second crewed flight to the US' first space station, Skylab. He and his two crewmates spent 59 days days aboard the orbital station studying Earth, covering almost 40 million kilometres and taking 76,000 photographs of the Sun for research purposes.
Bean left NASA in 1981 and spent almost four decades as an artist, creating what NASA called ‘Apollo-themed paintings’ featuring ‘canvases textured with lunar boot prints and made using acrylics embedded with small pieces of his moon dust-stained mission patches.’
He is survived by his wife, sister and two children.

Pictures show Ilyushin Il-80 flying low in the suburbs.
The Soviet-era giant aircraft had no windows other than the cockpit, known as the “flying Kremlin”.
In the event of a nuclear attack, Putin could lead Russia and issue orders to his military for decisive strikes from an air command post.
A satellite communication network is located above its fuse. The tail of the aircraft has a winch for the antenna drawn at the lowest frequency. Horizontal stabilizers accommodate multiple sensors or communication antennas.
The Daily Mail writes that the resurgence of “Doomsday” is a sign that Putin wants to send a warning message to the West.
However, Russian officials say the plane will be part of the annual Victory Day parade in Red Square and that it is engaged in “rehearsals”. Although no such event has been seen since 2010.
During the parade, the plane will be flown over St. Basil’s Cathedral by two MiG-29s.
The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed that eight MiGs will fly in Z-letters in support of the Russian military, which is taking part in military operations in Ukraine.
There are two scenarios regarding the existence of this aircraft. Firstly, another warning message given by Vladimir Putin to the West, the second option will be used in the May 9 march, after which he will be involved in the exercises for this march.

The “attractiveness index” examines relative strengths across numerous variables of locations both within the United States and globally, providing organizations with data that can be leveraged to help plan for the future.
This year’s rankings reveal a complex picture as the commercial aerospace industry launched an uneven recovery from the global COVID-19 crisis that broke out in March 2020, triggering pervasive supply chain disruptions, economic contractions and lockdowns, resulting in periods of double-digit unemployment. However, the pandemic also had disproportionate effects on global economies with some, including the United States, hit harder than others. Then, on the heels of this societal disruption, fresh concern arose with the discovery of the coronavirus’s delta variant (in December 2020), muting full recovery to pre-pandemic levels of the global economy and the A&D industry in 2021.
Global air freight has outperformed pax traffic since the pandemic’s outbreak, providing a critical cash flow lifeline to many airlines buffeted by reduced passenger air travel as well as labor and pilot shortages. Meanwhile, demand for military equipment held steady through 2020, amid heightening global security concerns.
The long-term prospects for every sector of aerospace manufacturing—commercial air travel, cargo freight, private-sector space, and military air and space—remain strong. Yet, the global commercial aviation industry, in particular, is likely to remain somewhat unstable and hard to predict in the short-term, as the shape of the post-pandemic recovery demand arc has become even more uncertain than it was at the same time last year.
Our country rankings this year suggest a global A&D industry largely circling in a holding pattern: 2019’s top nine countries are all in this year’s top nine, in an only slightly reshuffled order. A pandemic-induced glut of grounded pax aircraft continues to reduce manufacturing demand. Meanwhile, persistent supply chain bottlenecks—especially a worldwide shortage of containers, port congestion and overwhelmed container vessel operators—indicate continued growth in reliance on air freight in the months and years to come.
Global military spending continues to rise, with no sign of shrinking, which will likely continue to fuel the defense industry.
The accelerating demand to decarbonize aviation is already stimulating technological research and development that is likely to lead to important breakthroughs which could lead to electric and hybrid-electric aircraft and radically different designs.
Looking ahead, companies are discovering that this is an exceptional moment to invest in your people today, and in your workforce of the future—broadening their skill sets, flexibility and commitment through educational and training initiatives targeted toward a very different aerospace sector already visible on the horizon, and incentivizing partners all along your supply chains to do the same.
Our top seven states in 2019 are again our top seven in 2020, in an only slightly revised order. All of our top ten states, in fact, as well as others further down in the ranking, continue to offer outstanding opportunities for A&D investment, as many have for decades. The sense of pent-up energy and a powerful urge to return to full production and delivery are palpable. As they pull out of the pandemic holding pattern, companies that prioritize long-term investment in IT (especially predictive analytics), supply chain resiliency, short-term employment support and long-term workforce development may prove to be the biggest winners.
On the defense side of the industry, budgetary priorities—sure to entail significant upsides for manufacturers in both cases—emphasize modernization in the Air Force and Space Force evolution. The latter’s procurement budget, growing by $456 million to acquire National Security Space Launch vehicles for the anticipated launch of security and intelligence satellites, will likely prove especially stimulative to R&D innovation.
We hope you find this year’s aerospace attractiveness rankings informative and useful. Our Aerospace and Defense Practice provides insights, perspectives and solutions addressing the full-spectrum of scenarios that are changing the possibilities for A&D companies.

This can include everything from defunct satellites and spent rocket stages to small fragments resulting from collisions or explosions. With more than 8,000 metric tons of debris currently in orbit, space debris has become a pressing concern for space agencies, as well as the international community as a whole.
The Importance Ff The Topic Space Debris
The accumulation of space debris poses a significant risk to both manned and unmanned missions in space. Even small pieces of debris can travel at extremely high speeds and cause serious damage upon impact. In addition, space debris can create a cascade effect, leading to further collisions and even more debris. As such, understanding the problem of space debris is critical for ensuring the long-term viability of space exploration and satellite-based services, such as GPS and weather forecasting.
Types and Characteristics of Space Debris
Space debris, as previously mentioned, is the collection of man-made objects in orbit around Earth that are no longer functional. This debris can include everything from spent rocket stages and old satellites to smaller fragments resulting from explosions or collisions. The problem of space debris has been a growing concern since the launch of the first satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957. Over time, the number of objects in orbit has increased significantly, leading to an increased risk of collisions and debris generation.
Space debris can be classified into different types based on their size and characteristics. Large debris, such as defunct satellites and spent rocket stages, can be tracked and monitored by space agencies. However, smaller debris, such as fragments and paint chips, can be more difficult to track and pose a greater threat due to their high speeds. Space debris can also vary in altitude and orbit, with some objects remaining in low Earth orbit while others orbit at higher altitudes.
The movement of space debris is governed by orbital dynamics, which take into account factors such as gravity and atmospheric drag. These dynamics can lead to collisions between objects, creating even more debris in the process. In the worst-case scenario, this could lead to the Kessler Syndrome, a theoretical scenario in which the density of space debris in orbit becomes so high that collisions occur at an increasingly high rate, creating a cascade effect that renders space exploration and satellite-based services impossible.
Understanding the types and characteristics of space debris, as well as the potential for the Kessler Syndrome, is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate the problem of space debris and ensure the continued viability of space exploration and satellite-based services.
The EyesOnTheSky Team's Influence On The Space Debris Problem
The EyesOnTheSky team has been at the forefront of the effort to address the growing problem of space debris. As more and more objects accumulate in near-earth space, the potential risks to our technology and space exploration missions become greater. The team emphasizes the need for accountability and regulation to ensure the sustainability of our space-traffic footprint. The lack of regulation and monitoring has allowed the cosmic junkyard to continue growing at an alarming rate, posing significant risks to interplanetary missions and satellite technology. The EyesOnTheSky team has called for a sustainability development goal to be established to protect near-earth space and maintain balance across the earth, sea, and sky. Without proactive measures to address the space debris problem, the consequences could be catastrophic for space exploration and the technologies we rely on in our daily lives.
As part of the EyesOnTheSky team's efforts to address the growing problem of space debris, they have enlisted the help of experts like Dr. Lucy Atkinson and Erin Reilly. Dr. Atkinson, an astrophysicist, brings her expertise in the field of space science to the team, while Reilly, an expert in media and technology, helps to bridge the gap between science and public awareness. With a diverse and experienced team, EyesOnTheSky is well-equipped to tackle the complex and pressing issue of space junk.

Considerations for Writing about Space Debris
When writing about space debris, it is important to consider several key factors that can help to ensure that the essay is informative, well-supported, and well-written.
One of the most important considerations when writing about space debris is how to address technical concepts in a way that is accessible to a general audience. While some readers may have a background in space science, many will not, so it is important to avoid using overly technical language or assuming a high level of prior knowledge. Clear and concise explanations of technical concepts can help to make the essay more engaging and informative for readers of all backgrounds.
Another key consideration is the need to provide evidence and support for any claims made in the essay. This might include statistical data, scientific research, or other forms of evidence that help to demonstrate the importance of the topic and the validity of the essay's arguments. By providing strong evidence and support, writers can help to establish their credibility and make a persuasive case for their position.
Finally, it is essential to avoid plagiarism and to cite sources properly when writing about space debris. Plagiarism can undermine the credibility of the essay and can have serious consequences for the writer, so it is important to take the time to properly attribute any ideas, data, or other materials used in the essay. This might involve using footnotes or endnotes, creating a bibliography or works cited page, or following other citation conventions as appropriate for the assignment or discipline. By taking these steps, writers can help to ensure that their essays are well-researched, well-supported, and free of plagiarism.
In conclusion, writing about space debris is an important endeavor that can contribute to addressing this critical problem. By informing and educating the public, we can all work together towards a sustainable future for near-earth space. For those seeking assistance with their college assignment on this topic, there are reliable resources available to provide college assignment help. We explored the definition, types, and characteristics of space debris, as well as the Kessler Syndrome and the influence of the EyesOnTheSky team on this problem. We also outlined key considerations when writing about space debris, such as addressing technical concepts for a general audience, providing evidence and supporting claims, and avoiding plagiarism.
It is essential to continue addressing the issue of space debris as it poses a significant threat to space exploration and the technologies we rely on. We need to raise awareness of this issue and encourage the development of regulations and accountability programs to prevent the growth of the cosmic junkyard.

Lamar Smith
For almost two decades, humanity has maintained a presence on the International Space Station. Barely 100 years after the first 12-second airplane flight, humans are now living in space. The U.S. government is now debating the fate of the ISS, humanity’s sole outpost in space. The debate centers on a single question: whether the ISS should be extended beyond 2025 or whether its existence prevents funding for human exploration of the moon, Mars and beyond. The problem is that it’s not an either-or proposition. We do a disservice to ourselves and to future generations when we force a false choice between the ISS and further space exploration.
The ISS science laboratory’s objective is discovery; it has conducted more than 2,400 research investigations. Studying the effect of zero gravity on living organisms has improved laser eye surgery, increased the effectiveness of vaccines, and helped cancer research.
Human space exploration should go far beyond the ISS. Scientists and engineers think that it may be possible to make rocket fuel and water from materials on the Moon’s surface. A series of robotic missions to Mars have come closer to finding signs of life on another world. But exploring other worlds with robots is slow and difficult; if we want to step up our game and make profound discoveries the time has come to send people to the moon, Mars, and beyond.
This commitment to exploration involves difficult choices. As ISS funding comes under review, we will need to balance these two priorities: a presence in low-earth orbit on the ISS and human exploration of space. Some pundits reduce the debate to false choices: Either NASA continues spending billions of dollars a year on the ISS or the space station must be decommissioned. Either we commit to extending NASA spending on the ISS to 2028 or we don’t extend it at all. Either NASA keeps the ISS operating or NASA finally returns to the moon.
The result of this simplistic debate is that the future of the ISS is being determined by a cosmic game of chicken. The Trump administration proposes ending direct NASA spending on ISS operations by 2025 in order to free up resources needed for a return to the moon. The administration is not proposing to end the ISS or America’s presence in low-earth orbit. Instead, the administration wants to find innovative ways to reduce the costs of both keeping a presence in low-earth orbit and sending humans back to the moon, permitting America to do both.
Not only is this possible, it’s likely. The United States should operate the ISS for as long as it continues to meet our needs. We can decommission the ISS when there is a newer, more affordable platform to take its place. Industry confidence in the future of the ISS will boost confidence in value of human presence in low-Earth orbit and usher in the opportunity for private partnerships to share in the investment. As commercial industry enters the field, the competition helps drive down costs on the ISS, in turn freeing up funding for lunar exploration.
That’s why fighting about all-or-nothing funding is shortsighted. It threatens the goal of obtaining the best use possible of our investment in space. By forcing a choice between the ISS and human space exploration, it sends a signal to every scientist, entrepreneur, and engineer working on the station: we’re willing to gamble with the future of America’s presence in space.
Instead, let’s examine how we can increase commercial demand for the ISS and discover new efficiencies and ways to reduce operational costs. Let’s forge new partnerships with our commercial and international partners. Let’s not limit ourselves to a false choice. Let’s find ways to maintain America’s presence in low-earth orbit while committing to human space exploration.
After all, ours is a nation of pioneers and innovators. NASA has a proud tradition of space exploration and with our support they can lead us to the moon, Mars, and beyond. | aerospace |

Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov is a former Soviet cosmonaut who, in 1965, became the first person to step out of a spaceship and walk in space.
In 1975, he commanded the Soyuz spacecraft that participated in the first encounter between a Soviet and American spacecraft.
Leonov was born in Listvyanka in the Altai region of Siberia on May 30, 1934. He graduated with honors from the Chuguyev Higher Air Force School and, in 1968, from the Zhukovskiy Air Force Engineering Academy.
In 1960, Alexei Leonov became one of the original twenty cosmonauts chosen by the Russian space program. His first spaceflight was the Voskhod 2 mission on March 18, 1965.
Ninety minutes after launch, Leonov became the first person to walk in spacefloating freely outside the Voskhod capsule for more than ten minutes above Earth.
When Leonov tried to return to the capsule, he was unable to because the pressure difference between the air in his spacesuit and the vacuum of space expanded the suit, making it so stiff that he couldn’t move his fingers. Finally, he sucked some of the air out of the suit and was able to close the outer hatch of the airlock. When Leonov finished their spacewalk had lasted more than twenty minutes.
During re-entry, the Voskhod’s onboard computer malfunctioned and the capsule landed more than 600 miles off course in a remote section of the Ural Mountains. After two days and a cold night in the desert, the cosmonauts were finally rescued.
Alexei Leonov received the Hero of the Soviet Union award for his spacewalk and became deputy commander of the cosmonaut team, teaching others how to perform extravehicular activities.
Ten years after Voskhod 2, Alexei Leonov re-entered space in 1975 as commander of the Soyuz 19 mission, andhe first joint Soviet-American space project. The mission was known as the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) in the United States.
On July 15, 1975, Leonov and Valery Kubasov were aboard Soyuz 19 as it lifted off from the Baikanor Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the same day the Americans launched an Apollo capsule from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Two days later, the two spacecraft docked, allowing crews to rotate between the two spacecraft and perform mostly ceremonial activities.
With all joint flight activities completedThe ships went their separate ways.
On July 21, 1975the safe landing of Soyuz 19 ended Leonov’s career in space.

However, from a series of photographs available on the Kennedy Space Center Media Archive I did manage to get good photographs of the External Tank, Umbilical Doors, the Orbiters in Processing, etc. So, for the time being, I have completed the modelling of umbilical and 'pipework' between the External Tank and Orbiter. | aerospace |

When outsourcing parts, many Prime Customers are looking for the one–stop solution. We’ve found that many Aerospace manufacturers are challenged by this for a couple reasons: 1) they don’t have enough internal talent to get the work done; or 2) they don’t have the equipment to make all of the parts on an order. Without the manpower and equipment to get the jobs done, many Aerospace manufacturers looking to provide a one-source solution aren’t able to meet that demand.
Another challenge many of these Aerospace manufacturers are facing, in the effort to provide a one-stop resource, is a change in their product offering. For example: they may have been providing small or medium quantity part runs to a particular Prime Customer for years, however due to market demand they have moved into the manufacture of larger quantity or different sized parts.
The challenge comes when the Prime Customer is looking to place an order for 100 to 1,000 parts, which the supplier now specializes in, but it’s in conjunction with a request for the 10 to 100 parts they can no longer make efficiently. In order to provide a one-stop solution, the smaller quantity part often needs to be outsourced. This supplier needs to partner with a company who thrives on these small quantity complex parts.
Since this challenge is not exclusive to the Aerospace industry, Sirois Tool has been partnering successfully with both Aerospace and other manufacturers to be their source for small quantity complex parts. | aerospace |

The two companies have entered into a joint cooperation agreement “to develop the new era of composites for use in the aerospace industry”.
In recent years, the aerospace industry has shifted from metal and steel fuselage and wings to carbon fibre composite materials, primarily in an effort to decrease the plane’s weight and save fuel over time. Airbus claims it is the first in the industry to experiment with this new material. It intends to explore how AMSilk’s Biosteel fibre can allow them to approach the design and construction of its planes in an entirely new way.
The new composite material will be built using AMSilk’s Biosteel fibre technology, which enables lightweight construction with multiple shock resistance and flexibility. As demand for air travel continues to increase, the need for larger, more flexible planes that spend less time in the workshop and more time in the sky will continue to grow.
Biosteel fibre is made from a biopolymer based on natural spider silk, a material known for its strength, flexibility and toughness. AMSilk produces Biosteel fibre through a closed-loop biotechnological process that renders the product highly sustainable, with no petroleum inputs.
AMSilk and Airbus are aiming to launch a prototype composite material in 2019. | aerospace |

Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG, Stans, Switzerland. Development of the Pilatus PC-12 started in 1987.
The first prototype (HB-FOA c/n P.01) was flown on 31 May 1991. Certification of the type was originally planned for
mid-1991, but a redesign of the wings to improve the perfomances of the aircraft delayed this. The second prototype
(HB-FOB c/n P.02) was flown on 28 May 1993. Swiss certification finally took place on 30 March 1994, and CAA
approval followed on 15 July 1994. The same year, the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia was the launch
customer of the PC-12. In 1996, the original production variant PC-12/41 was replaced in production by the PC-12/45
with an increased maximum takeoff weight. Both the PC-12/41 and PC-12/45 and the 2005 PC-12/47 model are powered by single Pratt & Whitney Canada
PT6A-67B engine. The engine drives a four-blade Hartzell propeller. The PC-12 features a landing gear designed for grass and unprepared airfields and has winglets
for fuel economy. The Pilatus PC-12 is certified for single-pilot IFR operations, though operators may choose to utilize a second flight crew
member. Pilatus offers the PC-12 in a standard nine-seat airliner form, in a four-passenger seat/freight Combi version, and as a six-seat
corporate transport with an option for a seven-seat by adding a three-seat bench in place of seats five and six. For the freight variant is a large cargo door
available. In October 2006, Pilatus Aircraft announced its next generation PC-12 (PC-12 NG) that features a fully
integrated Honeywell Primus Apex avionics system; a new cockpit designed by BMW Group Designworks USA; a more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada
PT6A-67P engine, flat-rated at 1,200 shp; dual-zone Environmental Control System for increased cockpit and cabin comfort; a fully automatic digital Cabin
Pressurization Control System which requires no input from the pilot; and a fully redundant Power Generation and Distribution System. Known by its trade name
PC-12 NG (Next Generation) this PC-12/47E variant was certificied in 2008. The PC-12M Spectre variant is a paramilitary special missions platform marketed
in the United States, originally called "Eagle". In United States military service the PC-12 is designated U-28A. Over 1550 Pilatus PC-12 aircraft are
delivered since 1994.

SpaceX has anticipated that the return of the device will be separated and has declared that an eventual new failure in the launch will contribute to gathering more information to have new adjustments.
If the Starship, with an altitude of 121 meters, logs its velocities around the orbital in this view, SpaceX will be able to fully approve its potential.
The meta of the mission is located in a surrounding orbit. For SpaceX, Starship will be a reusable transport system designed to transport and transport to Earth’s orbit, Moon, Earth and more.
Among Starship’s customers is NASA, which has contracted with SpaceX for the Human Landing Services (HLS) contract for Artemis 3, A mission that launched astronauts to the Moon began in the 1970s.

This research is one of the 11 NASA grants awarded to 10 institutions sharing about $5.7 million in funding to investigate astronaut health and performance on future space missions.
Dr. Rithidech will participate in a flight definition project. In this project, she will use cutting edge proteomic technology to determine protein alterations, qualitatively and quantitatively, in plasma samples collected from astronauts before, during, and after space flights. Her findings will help to provide an understanding of the time course and etiology of immune changes induced by the space environment. Furthermore, since pre- and post-flight samples will be evaluated in the same astronaut (in addition to the in-flight samples) the direct effects of the space environment can be determined. Hence, her findings will provide high-priority and highly relevant information to NASA. Dr. Rithidech will further correlate protein expression profiles with the available data on immune dysfunction detected in each astronaut. This approach makes it possible to determine potential predictive biomarkers for space-flight-induced immune dysregulation. Consequently, effective countermeasures against such harmful effects of the space environment can be identified.
Dr. Rithidech was also quoted in an article published in The Baltimore Sun related to NASA's missions to Mars. | aerospace |

Within a short period of time, various ground handling activities need to take place in order for an aircraft to takeoff on time. Keeping an eye on these highly dynamic ground handling operations is not an easy task. Software solutions help tower agents oversee all relevant data to monitor the status of key requirements, such as the ready status of the aircraft, pilots, flight attendants, passengers and baggage. This allows them to quickly identify potential impacts to the aircraft turn.
Every minute an aircraft is on the ground decreases the aircraft utilization rate and automatically reduces an airline’s revenue. Therefore, the aircraft’s ground time needs to be minimized. Turnaround software solutions can help improve ground handling operations, but the success of such a system will depend on the data that is retrieved from all involved parties such as airlines, Air Traffic Control (ATC), airport and service providers. High quality software-based suggestions for smoothly running ground handling activities is completely dependent on up-to-date and complete data.
However, not all stakeholders along the critical path may be linked to such a software interface. There may be vendors who use pen and paper for dispatching their staff, which in turn leads to limited real-time information on the status of their ground handling operations. This information gap between the time on- and off-block represents a risky “black box”, especially, when it comes to the question of who is responsible for a delay and who is the one to be penalized. Delay codes are used for failure identification, but with various parties along the critical path, they are simply too general and not always cause-related.
Even though airlines are aware of the direct impact that irregularities within ground handling operations have on their success, for many of them, it is still quite unusual to actively monitor the performance of their service providers. As a result, these airlines are standing to miss out on potential cost savings. Furthermore, potential delays negatively impact their overall on-time performance and can damage their customer satisfaction. An intelligent GSE Management software can be the solution.
Such a solution provides all relevant real-time information on position and operational status of each resource. Resources such as GSE can be equipped with On-Board Units (OBU) that transmit telemetric information to the system. This telemetric information contains turn time metric timestamps, which can be tracked automatically and indicate the exact step during a task. Consequently, tower agents are aware of the current position of a GSE as well as the status of its task at any time. All occurring incidents can be visualized with an intuitive color scheme (green, yellow, red), thus enhancing operational awareness and visibility for flights with irregularities. This process transparency results in higher Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance, as it is easier to retrace each step during the aircraft’s ground time.
Besides GSE movement tracking, mobile communication is an essential add-on, which contains a staff dispatch graphical user interface (GUI) and a mobile app for the operating staff. The GUI enables vendor dispatchers to oversee upcoming tasks and assign staff to service a flight. The operating staff, in turn, is equipped with a mobile app that shows them all relevant service information to the flight they have been assigned to, such as flight details, alerts and notifications. As time-critical operations may be disrupted, the employee has the chance to add multiple flight-related occurrences. These can be selected from pre-configured templates or entered as a free form text. The system even receives a table of all open Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs) and creates a warning if the MEL number changes.
So, the combination of an intelligent Turnaround and GSE Management Solution is the key to success. On the one hand, all turnaround-relevant activities from arrival to departure are displayed, bottlenecks are highlighted and occurrences are recorded with detailed information such as the creator, the timestamp, content and the update history of an incident. On the other hand, all activities and involved resources along the critical path are visualized and color-coded, thus enabling tower agents to oversee the whole ground handling operation in real time and proactively interfere in critical cases. With the help of configurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), success and failure rates of the operation can be shown. Actual data as well as past figures and future prognoses are displayed in custom dashboards, which enable the user to quickly see if operations are improving or not.
As the aviation business is a fast growing and highly competitive industry, managing performance within turnarounds is crucial for the success of airline operations. For this very reason, it is even more important that airlines work proactively on the improvement of their punctuality, which in turn would not only lead to satisfied passengers, but directly result in transparent, optimized processes and cost savings per minute. | aerospace |

Twenty-five years ago I was thoroughly enjoying a high school reunion when a frantic reporter on the staff of the same newspaper I worked for located me among of a throng of partygoers, shouting above the music that an airliner had made an emergency landing just a quarter-kilometre away.
“You’re kidding?” I said in disbelief.
“No!” she emphatically replied.
“I don’t believe you.”
“Believe me, it’s right outside.”
Of course, she was quite correct. The now-famous Gimli Glider had come in for an emergency landing a few hundred metres away from the recreation centre where the Gimli high school reunion was being held.
My memories of the eventful day —July 23, 1983 — were rekindled by Interlake Spectator editor Jim Mosher, who had e-mailed asking whether a front-page photo in the newspaper, showing the aircraft in the midst of the runway turned drag strip with emergency chutes deployed, had been taken by me. Indeed it had.
The wide-bodied jet made the emergency landing after a harrowing glide without engines just as twilight was looming at the Gimli Motorsport Park drag strip. The spectacular feat of flying followed by an equally spectacular landing became an international media sensation and was reported world-wide using the nickname “Gimli Glider.”
In a telephone conversation with Mosher, I was given some details about the 25th anniversary press conference in Gimli, which included Captain Bob Pearson, the pilot of the Gimli Glider, as well as the three adults who were just young lads when the aircraft made its approach as they biked on the runway. Art Zuke, Kerry Seabrook and Cam Berglund explained they were captivated as the airplane came into view. They saw the Boeing 767 made a steep vertical descent. After touching down, its underbelly screeched while grating metal-to-metal on the drag strip’s middle guard rail. When the aircraft came to a halt, the three boys plainly saw the white of the two pilots’ shirts as well as their unblinking eyes. The pilots and bicyclists were all pleasantly surprised that a potential disaster had been averted.
After my conversation with Mosher, he sent a copy of an article I had written following the emergency landing of the Gimli Glider for the Spectator. Among the people I had interviewed was Remi Paquette, the senior Transport Canada investigator, who credited Pearson with using “extremely good judgement” in making the touchdown.
According to Paquette, the airplane was reported to have been serviced with 24,000 kilograms of aviation fuel in Ottawa before taking off, but when the tanks were checked in Gimli after the landing only 75 litres remained. Air Canada Flight 143 had been scheduled to make a non-stop flight from Ottawa to Edmonton when the fuel feeding its left engine ran dry and finally the last engine was starved of fuel over Red Lake, Ontario. Paquette said the aircraft needed another 19,000 litres of fuel in its tanks to reach Edmonton. The absence of fuel resulted from a miscalculation when converting to metric measurements. At the time, the 767s in the Air Canada fleet were the only aircraft requiring metric liquid measurements. It also didn’t help that the fuel gauges on the aircraft were inoperable, necessitating the ground crew to check the fuel level with a dipstick. Paquette in 1983 told me another mistake occurred when a ground crew member read inches for centimetres on the dipstick.
Passenger Robert Howitt of Edmonton told the subsequent inquiry into the mishap that he would never forget his experience aboard the Gimli Glider. “It was silent. No more engines. Then there was a kind of whining, a horrible whining.” He said the passengers were informed 15 minutes after the engines stopped that an emergency landing would be made. “We did not know whether we were going to make it to some airstrip or were we going to crash or die. The worst was the awareness of mortal danger, we thought we all might die.”
A fortunate circumstance for those aboard Flight 143 was that co-pilot First Officer Maurice Quintal was familiar with the Gimli runway layout from his days stationed at the former CFB airport as a member of the armed forces. He knew there was a runway long enough to accommodate the jet, but what he didn’t know was that the runway had been converted into a drag strip.
As the airplane began its descent, Quintal unsuccessfully tried to manually lower the nose wheel. As it turned out, this was another stroke of good luck as the friction created when the aircraft’s nose came into contact with the guard rail helped to slow the 767 down. Looking on in astonishment as the crippled behemoth slid along the guard rail and directly in their path were a group of campers, barbecuing and celebrating after a day of drag racing.
“Once the plane was on the ground, we were told to get the hell away from the aircraft (by sliding down the inflated emergency chutes),” said Howitt.
Although shaken by their experience, no one was seriously injured. Several people were taken to Gimli hospital with minor bumps and bruises resulting from the slide down the chute. One elderly woman was hospitalized for a few days due to trauma.
The unhurt passengers and crew were taken to the Viking Motor Hotel where they received a hot meal. Rick Kalyn, the co-owner of the Viking at the time, said the passengers were extremely agitated when they first arrived, but “most of them seemed quite calm a little later.” Some of the passengers requested blankets and pillows and went to sleep. Most telephoned family and friends to assure them they were safely on the ground.
Several hours later, two buses transported the passengers from Gimli to the Northstar Inn in Winnipeg.
In his final report following the inquiry, Chief Justice George H. Lockwood said it was “thanks to the professionalism and skill of the flight crew and the flight attendants that the corporate and equipment deficiencies were overcome and a major disaster was averted.”
Before the parade and ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the Gimli Glider, Pearson told Mosher, he was happy to have found the “only place that offered them some solid ground to land on.” The other options available were a splash-landing on Lake Winnipeg or on a farmer’s field, which undoubtedly would have had disastrous consequences for all aboard. | aerospace |
