You should usually give yourself at least 2 hours for an international flight and 1 hour for domestic flights.
The airline will tell you 3 hours, but 2 hours is the perfect amount of time. Even if you get help up in long lines it will still give you ample time to make your flight. 90 mins would probably be ok, but 2 hours is adviseable. | aerospace |

December 22, 2013
SAN ANTONIO - Air Force recruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland
will get more training on life skills ranging from handling money to protection
against sexual assault.
The San Antonio Express-News reports recruits will spend up to a week after
graduating from basic training to take an expanded skills course.
It's the latest in a series of basic training changes after a sex scandal at
Lackland led to more than two dozen instructors convicted of wrongdoing.
Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force James Cody said Thursday that the
curriculum is being developed in Washington, D.C. and at the Air Force Air
Education and Training Command in San Antonio. The course, tentatively set for
rollout next year, will also include more information on handling stress and

This standing wave detonation was created in a prototype engine and the researchers say that such a system could one day power aircraft at up to 17 times the speed of sound.
Most fires are deflagrations. This form of combustion creates a subsonic reaction wave and powers much of our transport technology. But you can get a much more powerful and efficient release of energy from a detonation. This type of combustion produces supersonic shock waves driven by energy release from closely coupled chemical reactions. These waves travel at many times the speed of sound, with those produced by igniting a hydrogen–air fuel mix, for example, often reaching speeds of Mach 5.
This intense energy release is highly unstable and difficult to control. If harnessed, however, it could be channelled to achieve hypersonic flight for future interplanetary travel and ultrahigh-speed intercontinental travel on Earth. Estimates suggest that an engine operating with a Mach 5 flow path, such as that produced by a hydrogen–air fuel mix, could enable vehicle speeds of Mach 6 to 17. That would allow you to fly from New York to London in just half-an-hour.
There are three main detonation engine concepts. Pulse detonation engines create repeated explosions, while in a rotating detonation engine, detonations continuously travel around a circular channel with the shockwave from each setting off the next. Both of these have been previously demonstrated. Now, researchers at the University of Central Florida and the US Naval Research Laboratory say they have demonstrated the third concept: a standing or oblique detonation wave engine. They report their results in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The idea behind an oblique detonation wave engine is to produce a continuous detonation that is fixed in space, so that the resulting shockwave is stable and remains in the same position. “We want to feed [the detonation] with the right propellant mixture, at the right speed and freeze it in space,” Kareem Ahmed tells Physics World.
To create such a detonation, Ahmed and his colleagues developed a prototype engine named HyperReact (high-enthalpy hypersonic reacting facility). This device is divided into three sections. In the first, the mixing chamber, a jet of hydrogen and air is ignited. This creates hot high-pressured air that flows into the next section, the converging–diverging (CD) nozzle, which has an axisymmetric square cross-section along its entire length. As the air enters the CD nozzle a jet of ultrahigh-purity hydrogen is added. The shape of the CD nozzle is designed to then accelerate the mixture to speeds of around Mach 4.5 as it enters the test section. In this final chamber there is a 30-degree turning angle ramp.
The team found that by manipulating the fuel mix, temperature and air flow through the chambers they were able to produce an oblique shock on the ramp that created a detonation that was stabilized on the ramp. This standing wave detonation lasted for the duration of active fuelling, which was around three seconds. This is significantly longer than a normal detonation and demonstrates proof-of-concept, the researchers say.
Air-breathing rocket engines: the future of space flight
Ahmed explains that the main benefit of detonation based propulsion would be much higher efficiency than deflagration-based systems. “Achieving hypersonic speeds is critical because we don’t currently have a propulsion system that can do that,” he adds. “The only propulsion system that can give you hypersonic speeds is a rocket motor. Now rocket motors are not efficient. We know that because otherwise we’d all be flying to outer space. They are very expensive.”
Ahmed tells Physics World that now the researchers have proved that an oblique detonation wave engine is possible they want to explore the different conditions, such as fuel type and speed of the fuel flow, under which the detonation can remain stable. This is necessary to achieve the levels of control that would be required to realise hypersonic flight. | aerospace |

8/15/2013 - LAUGHLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- Part of Laughlin's mission is to graduate the world's best pilots, but it is also home to some of the greatest pilots. One of Laughlin's own recently completed flying 3,000 hours in the T-38 Talon jet trainer here at Laughlin July 31.
Lt. Col. Timothy Webster, 96th Flying Training Squadron instructor pilot, reached the 3,000 hour milestone during a flight with a Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training student. Once on the ground he was ready to break the news to his fellow pilots but was beat to the punch. Upon arriving at his squadron, he was met with streams of water and a crowd of fellow pilots waiting to congratulate him on his achievement.
"I was tracking my flying hours the last few days so when I reached 3,000 I could break the news to everyone," said Webster. "I had no idea they were tracking my hours for a few weeks and planning something for when I came back down."
Webster commissioned in 1988 in the Air Force Reserve and began his active duty career in April 1989 as a student pilot.
"I've always wanted to fly; it is interesting and not many people get to do it," said Webster. "The majority my flying hours have come from flying sorties for the student training mission here at Laughlin."
Webster has a lot of experience in the sky, which he passes on to his students and fellow instructors.
"Flying 3,000 hours in the T-38 is a major accomplishment; only a few have attained it," said Lt. Col. William Lee, 96th Flying Training Squadron functional check flight chief. "With his experience and professionalism, Lt. Col. Webster always sets the example for both students and fellow instructors to follow."
8/20/2013 7:05:43 AM ET Not to negate the importance of this milestone but there were a number of IPs in the 60's and 70's who achieved 3000 hours in the T-38. I logged over 2500 in just 3 years We were flying 3 times a day often 6 days a week during the Viet Nam era when we were producing 3-4000 pilots a year at about 10 bases. It is still the most beautiful trainer ever built and amazing that it will fly long past my final flight | aerospace |

Aircraft engine can range from simple and low-cost piston engines commonly equipped on lighter aircrafts to extremely quick and sophisticated fighter jet engines.
In past 120 years of aircraft engine development, engineers have always focussed on more power, durability and better fuel efficiency at the same time implementing weight savings. There is no doubt that Aerospace technologies greatly benefited from world wars earlier but the recent developments have focussed more on reducing emissions and increasing electrification.
Commercial Airlines, now more than ever are looking for stable engine operation and reduce unscheduled engine removals and significant events that could curtail their regular operations.
Despite COVID-19 the aircraft engine manufacturers are moving ahead with their plans to launch high tech engines like Textron Aviation has continued work on the Denali (turboprop single). Similarly, GE Aviation still expects the first flight of its new Catalyst turboprop engine and delivery of the first engine to Textron Aviation in 2020.
Like other transportation modes, Aviation is also now moving towards sustainable aviation fuel. In Dec 2019, Bombardier announced that Latitude 33 Aviation, a private jet charter company based in California, took delivery of the first Bombardier customer aircraft to fly away on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
In terms of electrification, on 29th May 2020, Magnix made the first flight with a prototype of a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan aircraft powered by 750-hp Magni500 all-electric propulsion system. U.S. startup Archer announced plans to bring an eVTOL aircraft to market. Voltaero – a French startup started flight testing the fixed-wing design in March 2020 and has plans to achieve type certification under EASA’s CS-23 rules, deliveries to begin by the 2022-end.

All major engine manufacturers had expected the Revenues in the commercial series production business to increase organically by 6-7% in 2020. But Coronavirus impact is likely to make them withdraw their earnings outlook for 2020-21.
General Aviation in US( world`s biggest market) could grow by double digits in next 2 years as affluent population would prefer to travel in Private/charter planes as compared to commercial airlines.
MRO segment accounts for much higher revenue for many engine suppliers as compared to OE segment. For example, MTU Aero Engines AG had a record year in revenue in 2019 at $5.1 Billion (+2% YOY) and MRO share was more than 58%.
CFM International received orders for 2,148 engines in 2019 worth $30.7 Billion U.S, including 180 CFM56 engines (commercial, military and spares) and 1,968 LEAP engines (including spares).LEAP engine by CFM has proved to be extremely popular ever since its launch in 2011, generating more than $270 Billion in Revenue through 2019 for the company.
Lycoming, among the biggest piston engine aircraft engine manufacturer, introduced its Integrated Electronic Engine (iE2), which is the company’s new Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified electronically controlled piston engine. Textron Aviation is also working with Lycoming on integrating Lycoming EIS into a new Cessna aircraft.
GE, the market leader in turbofan engines has produced more than 13,000 J85 engines till April 2020 in past 61 years. It powers military aircraft like T-38, F-5, T-2C, and A-37B.
RollsRoyce decided to axe 8,000 jobs in March 2020, after its two biggest customers, Airbus and Boeing decided to slash production by 35% and 50% respectively keeping in mind the impact of Coronavirus on aviation market.

Euclid, ESA’s exciting new science mission, will soon start collecting scientific data to explore the composition and evolution of the dark Universe. It will then send it home, transmitting an unprecedented volume of data from beyond Earth’s orbit, about 100 GB every day for six years straight.
Downlinking this much data from the spacecraft places high demands on Euclid’s ground segment, the complex combination of data systems on Earth for monitoring and control of the spacecraft, data management, ground stations and telecommunication networks.
“Through years of technological advancements, standardisation efforts and the operational adoption of innovative engineering solutions we have successfully tackled the challenges for the ground segment of this extraordinary mission,” says Mariella Spada, Head of Ground Systems Engineering and Innovation at ESA.
As we zoom in on the ground segment preparations for Euclid, the engineering complexity behind the mission’s data operations comes to light.
Creating a conduit for Euclid’s science data
Every science mission has its own unique constraints and requirements as a consequence of its desired scientific return. In the case of Euclid, it is designed to create the largest, most accurate-ever 3D map of the Universe. Euclid’s instruments collect ultra-accurate images in order to identify faint distortions in the shape of very distant galaxies.
The value of these images lies in their incredible preciseness and detail. This takes the image file size into the gigabytes and leads to the key challenge for the mission’s ground segment: get up to 100 GB of big files downlinked every day during a limited, four-hour time window.
That’s roughly twice the daily data volume that space telescopes like James Webb and Gaia transmit from the same orbit at Lagrange 2 point about 1,5 million kilometres from Earth, and that while Euclid has shorter ground station passes. This means that Euclid’s ground segment must be an especially efficient conduit to enable the large flow of data between Euclid and Earth, and onwards to deliver it to the science project teams.
ESA deep space antenna Cebreros in Spain, one of the two Estrack antennas upgraded for Euclid
Upgrading deep space antennas Cebreros and Malargüe
The first step was to make it possible to sustain a high data downlink rate of up to 75 megabits per second between Euclid and the Estrack ground stations to download all its data comfortably and efficiently within four hours.
In contrast, ESA's Gaia mission, sending data to Earth from a similar L2 orbit as Euclid, uses the X-band with an 8 GHz frequency to transmit telemetry. The bandwidth of this low frequency only allows a maximum data rate of 8.7 Mbps, which means that Gaia needs close to 24 hours of data downlink on a high data volume day. As Euclid will be sending us on average twice the data that Gaia does, the same X-band frequency would require more hours of transmission than there are in a day, and would hopelessly congest the ground stations.
Higher frequencies are used for interplanetary missions in deep space, especially the Ka-band in 32 GHz. These frequencies enable a higher 'link budget' with more capacity to reach as far as such deep-space missions require. The higher frequencies also allow a higher data rate.
Euclid will still be relatively close to Earth at a distance of ‘just’ 1.5 million kilometres. But to allow a high volume of data to be downlinked in a four-hour daily window, the K-band radio frequency (26 GHz) will be used the first time for an ESA science mission at the Lagrange 2 point.
Image: Satellite frequency bands
However, to allow the high data rate in K-band, two of ESA’s 35 m dish Estrack ground stations had to be upgraded in various ways.
“Faster communication lines were installed between the control centre in Germany and the ground stations located in Spain and Argentina. And that’s just the start of the list," says Åge-Raymond Riise, Station Coordinator for Euclid.
“We have four new cryogenically cooled low-noise amplifiers in each station for receiving the signals from space. We also use a new generation of ground station modems known as Telemetry and Telecommand Processors, capable of using the Low Density Parity Check codes which brings us ever closer to the theoretical Shannon Limit for a space link communication channel. In order to route the signal mechanically to the new equipment, moving mirrors were built, together this provides our deep space antennas Cebreros and Malargüe, with K-band communication capability at 26 Ghz."
And that was not all. Although the 26 GHz frequency benefits large data volumes, the connection itself is less stable. K-band frequencies in general are prone to suffer high attenuation and the signal may be weak or lost due to the influence of water in the atmosphere, potentially causing data loss. Further engineering went into safeguarding against such data loss, benefiting not just Euclid but also other ESA missions that also use high frequencies.
Adding a black box to the ground stations
When receiving a transmission at a ground station, the useful data is extracted from packets that function like a kind of envelope with instructions. The unpacked, uncoded data constitutes only about half the data Euclid sends. This is then sent on to mission control at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), in Darmstadt, Germany, through a private, secure connection established especially for this purpose.
Normally, the check for data completeness is done at the mission control centre, followed by sending a command to the spacecraft to retransmit data if necessary.
“In this case, the link between Euclid itself and the ground stations at Cebreros or Malargüe is much faster than the connection from the ground stations to mission control at ESOC.” explains Arek Kowalczyk, Euclid Data Systems Manager. “We can’t afford to wait until all data has arrived at the mission control system to check if any part is missing. Instead, we developed a piece of software that runs on a Euclid-dedicated machine at the ground station. It consolidates the parts of a data file and forwards only the instructions concerning any missing data to the mission control system at ESOC, from where they can request the missing parts to be retransmitted to ground. Only once the file is complete, is it transferred to ESOC.”
This new file transfer protocol dubbed CCSDS File Delivery Protocol was utilised as part of an integrated software solution consisting of a ‘black box’ at the ground station called the CFDP assembly. This assembly, combined with the mission control system at ESOC, provides an automated solution that avoids data loss and allows any required retransmission to be performed automatically.
“Let’s call it FTP for space.” says Micha Schmidt, Euclid’s Spacecraft Operations Manager, referring to the common and widely used File Transfer Protocol.
“Imagine you want to download a picture from the internet. You’re not interested in how much data needs to be re-transmitted and you definitely don’t want to identify the missing information and request them bit-by-bit yourself. You just want to see the picture on your screen once the transfer is complete. That is what the CFDP assembly is doing for us.”
CFDP has been used by ESA’s OPS-SAT test-bed satellite and is being used by interplanetary mission Juice to check certain downlinked data. Euclid, however, is the first to also use it in the other direction, for uplinking to the spacecraft.
Euclid looking into the Universe
Dragging and dropping files to space
Euclid’s ground segment and on-board data handling system are also the first to take the word ‘file’ in the CFDP acronym seriously, compelled by the large images Euclid creates. The storage system on Euclid can handle any kind of files and not only the usual data packets which have stringent data formatting requirements.
This opened the door to File-Based Operations and its many accompanying advantages, some of which we are all familiar with in our everyday dealings with computers. The flight controllers now have a much more intuitive, graphical interface rather than a DOS-like command line interface. This lowers the complexity and reduces both the potential for human error and the amount of training required. It even allows the operators to drag and drop files to upload to, or download from, Euclid in space.
Most importantly perhaps, scientists don’t need to format their data in a specific way. They can have their instruments create whatever file format works best for them, and they receive their files exactly as they want them. Like very large, intricate images for instance.
Keeping up with Euclid
The launch of any mission is a critical moment for its ground segment until a connection can be established and the systems are confirmed to work as planned. During Euclid’s launch in July, everything went very smoothly and so far, the commissioning phase is progressing well.
However, for everyone on the team connected to the data operations, the most demanding time is still ahead. Processing of the large amount of data in the tight time windows of the ground station passes will be a relentless task to keep up with Euclid, but it's one they are more than ready for.
“We are now fully prepared to download the 'Universe' from Euclid,” says Mariella Spada. “This is the result of the hard work and resourcefulness of the team, along with many colleagues from ESA and beyond who contributed to this success.”
Euclid lifted off on 1 July 2023, is currently in the commissioning phase and will soon start sending its science data to Earth | aerospace |

TEHRAN (FNA)- Director General of Foreign Ministry's International Peace and Security Office Asadollah Eshraq Jahromi voiced Iran's strong opposition to monopolizing outer space.
"Iran strongly advocates against monopolizing outer space or attempting to curtail the peaceful use of space-related science, technology, and services for developing countries," Eshraq Jahromi said addressing the Debate on Disarmament Aspects of Outer Space Exposes First Committee Rift over Ways to Sustain Space Security, Prevent Domain’s Weaponization.
He expressed solidarity with Palestine during these trying times and vehemently denounced barbaric atrocities and heinous crimes committed by the Zionist regime.
"Iran is deeply troubled by the security risks posed by the deployment of strategic missile defense systems, reiterating the need for a non-discriminatory multilateral approach to address these issues within the United Nations," he said.
Turning to the establishment of a new group of governmental experts on the prevention of an arms race in outer space, he said its success hinges on avoiding the entrenchment of politicized positions among its members
Eshraq Jahromi called on the United States to withdraw its opposition to the establishment of a special negotiating committee under the prevention of an arms race in outer space while noting sanctions imposed by the United States against Iranian space agencies.
Iran has taken giant strides in the field of science and technology in recent years, despite US sanctions, and is among the world's top 10 states capable of building and launching satellites.
Back in late August, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani stated Tehran plans to launch two or three satellites by the end of the Iranian calendar year (ending in mid-March 2024).
Iran launched its first satellite Omid (Hope) in 2009 and its Rasad (Observation) satellite was sent into orbit in 2011. In 2012, Iran successfully put its third domestically-made satellite, Navid (Good News), into orbit. In April 2020, the country announced the successful launched of its first military satellite into orbit. In March 2022, it blasted its second military satellite into space. And in August 2022, Iran sent Khayyam, a high-resolution imaging satellite, into orbit.
Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed Tehran’s serious determination to advance space technology. | aerospace |

You must have a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and provide detailed mission documentation as part of the authorization request.
To fly a drone in restricted airspace you need to know the specific waiver application process. Waivers for special-use airspace are submitted through the Airspace Access Program. LAANC-controlled airspace waivers are submitted through the FAA Drone Zone website. You may also need to unlock your drone geofence restriction.
Obtaining authorization to fly a drone in restricted airspace is not easy. But you can do it. Follow the instructions in this article and you will have an excellent chance of getting approved.
Types Of Special Use Airspace
Disney Theme Parks
Disney Theme Park waivers permit drone flight for areas around Disneyland and Disney World Theme Parks. Applicants must provide a letter of verification from the relevant park verifying that the waiver is for an operational function of the venue.
Major Sporting Events
Sporting event waivers permit flight operations within the temporary flight-restricted (TFR) airspace established for National Football League, Major League Baseball, NCAA events, NASCAR Series, and INDY Race events. These waivers are typically needed for stadiums of 30,000 or more
Special event waivers permit authorized flight operations within the temporary flight-restricted airspace established for special events that take place outside of Washington, D.C.
Flight Restricted Zone For Washington, D.C.
These waivers permit operations in or around Washington DC. You will submit an online waiver application. In addition, you submit documentation specifying the purpose and scope of the work. This waiver has a special process that we will walk through. Be aware, the submission process is challenging.
How To Fly A Drone in Special-Use Airspace
Where To Apply For Waiver
Waiver requests may be submitted online via the FAA/TSA Airspace Program. General applications must be submitted at least five business days before the flight. Definitely allow more than 5 days, because you may need to resubmit if you get rejected.
Application for flights near Washington DC must be submitted 15 days before the flight. For more details on FAA flight restrictions see our article “Drone No-Fly Zones: A Complete Review“.
I’ll review the process we use for flights in Washington DC. The basic process will be similar for other areas. Your application consists of two parts: an online application to the Airspace Access Program (AAP) website, and a set of documents you upload to the FAA website.
Here’s a list of the documents, you must submit these documents exactly as requested.
A letter of application. This letter is an official request for waiver and it must provide a compelling reason why you have to use a drone for this job versus manned aircraft.
This is usually pretty easy because flying a plane to take a few pictures obviously does not make any sense. Important, it needs to be on company letterhead. Either your company or the sponsoring company.
Client letter. This is just a letter from your customer describing the job. This is your statement of work (SOW). It should include why this is important, the scope of the work, and how long it will take.
If you’re flying within 7 nautical miles of Washington National Airport then this letter needs to be from a federal, state, or local government agency. You need to have a government sponsor within this highly restricted area.
Maps (For Washington DC). You will need 2 maps: (1) a large-scale map and (2) a small-scale map.
The large-scale map shows a detailed view of where your drone will fly. Exact locations for takeoff and land, plus alternate emergency locations. Clearly outline the boundaries of your flight area and show distances. Indicate the boundary with a circle and radius or a square showing the length of each side. Also, provide pictures that verify you can maintain a line of site with the drone at all times.
The small scale map shows your flight area within the larger Washington DC area restricted zone. The goal here is to verify that you are more than 7 nautical miles from the airport VOR (located at 38°51’34.2″N 77°02’11.4″W in DC ).
You’ll have to compute the distance to the airport VOR using latitude and longitude obtained from the FAA facility map. Using other online maps will generally not give accurate distances and your application will get rejected.
All distances must be in nautical miles and all directions must be in degrees true units. This may seem like a small thing, but not doing it will definitely get your application rejected
Drone information. You’ll need to provide the make and model, registration number, aircraft and controller serial numbers, and photographs of your drone that show the registration information clearly displayed on your drone.
Crewmember information. You need at least two crew members: a pilot and an on-site communicator (OSC). You’ll need to provide detailed information on each of these people.
The OSC is there to communicate with the FAA in the event of problems or if the FAA has any questions. The OSC cannot take part in flight operations, they’re only allowed to provide real-time communications with the FAA.
You’ll have to provide a registration number of the pilot to verify that they are part 107 certified.
Remote pilot license. We always provide a photograph of our part 107 license. This is not required but the reviewers have told us that is helpful.
Law enforcement coordination (For Washington DC). If you fly within seven nautical miles of Washington DC airport you will need a law enforcement officer escort during your flight. In DC this is just the Metropolitan Police Department. Be warned this will require many phone calls because, let’s face it, the police have more important things to do.
What You Can Expect
The reviewers will generally respond within 48 hours. If a reviewer rejects your application will get an explanation. Make your corrections and resubmit. Once you’re approved, the FAA assigns a two-hour window for your flight.
After Your Authorized To Fly
So you thought once you got authorized you could just show up and do the job. Well, think again.
The day before your flight. You must send an email notification no later than 4 PM EST to verify that you still intend to fly. If you’re flying within seven nautical miles of Washington airport you will also include the name, badge, and phone number of your law-enforcement escort.
On the day of your flight. Your OSC must contact the FAA Watch Officer 15 minutes prior to your flight. Everyone must be present during this call. You’ll give them your waiver number and some flight information, then they will give you thumbs up to fly.
How To Fly A Drone In Controlled Airspace
There are two categories of authorization: operational and airspace.
An operational authorization (also called a waiver) is for part 107 certified pilots who wish to fly their drone outside the parameters of part 107 regulations. This includes:
- Flying your drone from a moving vehicle
- Flying your drone at night without lights
- Flying your drone beyond the visual line of sight.
- Operation of multiple small drones
- Flying your drone faster than 100 mph (I don’t know you would ever do this)
- Flying your drone above 400 feet AGL
- Flying with less than three statute miles of visibility.
- Flying within 500 feet vertically or 2000 feet horizontally of clouds
An airspace authorization (also called a waiver) is for part 107 certified pilots who wish to access:
- Areas that are in controlled airspace not covered by LAANC as shown by the red grids on the UAS Facility Maps
- A “zero” grid area above airport property as shown on UAS Facility Maps
How To Apply For The Waiver
You apply for both operational and airspace waivers on the FAA Drone Zone website.
- Log onto the FAA Drone Zone account and go to your dashboard.
- Scroll down and click “Create Part 107 Waiver/Authorization”. Choose “Operational” or “Airspace”.
For Operational Waivers. Complete sections A – D to provide CONOP’s information. Click the “Relevant Waivers” section to see a list of required waivers.
- Follow the prompts and you will be asked to provide Waiver Safety explanations for each required waiver. This is very important. You will need to provide a detailed operational risk and mitigation analysis.
- We could spend an entire article on risk analysis and Waiver Safety Explanation Guidelines (WSEG). Fortunately, the FAA provides general WSEG guidance and also provides sample justifications for each type of waiver on their website.
- Next, you enter which of your registered drones will fly the mission.
- Finally, you’ll review and submit the waiver. You will also be able to attach additional documents. These aren’t required but if you have safety or mission protocol documents, reviewers may look favorably on them.
For Airspace Waivers. The process is much simpler. Enter the mission details and submit your application. This does not require any mission risk analysis.
The FAA will assign a reference number for your waiver. Submissions are reviewed within 90 days. We always received a response before that time.
How To Obtain LAANC Authorization
LAANC provides near real-time authorization for operations in controlled airspace, under 400 feet or below the designated altitude ceiling on the UAS Facility Map. You can do this on your phone with the AirFly app.
How To Obtain DJI Geofence Authorization
Geofencing is a drone safety measure that uses GPS or radio frequency technology to create virtual boundaries. Geofencing prevents unintended drone flights in restricted or prohibited areas. For details on geofencing see our article “Geofencing For Drones: The Complete Guide“.
We’ll walk through the DJI geofence custom and zone unlock processes. The custom unlock and zone unlock processes are very similar and outlined in the videos. Alternatively, you could follow my instructions below.
How To Do A Custom Unlock
Log into your DJI account at the DJI’s Unlock site.
Select Unlocking Requests and enter the requested information. The first time it took me a while to figure out how to find the flight controller serial number (it is not the drone serial number). I linked to a short video that may save you some time.
Select the area you want to unlock and mission details (flight radius, altitude). Then confirm the information is accurate.
DJI should respond to your submission within 1-hour via email. You can also check the status of your submission on the website.
When you start your mission, you’ll need to upload the authorization key to unlock the drone. After that, you should be good to go. Note, you will need an internet connection to complete this process.
Contact DJI support at firstname.lastname@example.org if you have any problems.
How To Do A Zone Unlock From Home
Log into your DJI account.
Follow the same initial procedures as above but select “Self Unlock” versus “Custom Unlock”. Enter your mission information. The mission date is important because the unlock is valid for 72 hours.
Agree to the terms and conditions, then verify your identity on your DJI account. You should see a popup indicating ‘Verification Complete’.
After getting the unlock approval you’ll need to upload the flight license to your drone via the DJI GO app in General Settings under Unlock List. This will require an internet connection.
Perform Self Unlock On Site
This is much easier to do using the DJI GO app at the mission site. I recommend you use this method.
Open the DJI Go app. Click “Yes” in response to the flight restriction warning. Verify your identity on your DJI account and select “Confirm” for self-unlock. You will need to be logged in to your DJI account.
Restricted Airspace Overview
There are several types of restricted airspace. It’s important to have a working knowledge of what they are.
Special Use Airspace
Special-use airspace (SUA) usually defines areas that are restricted due to national security, military training, special activities, or hazardous conditions. These zones are usually marked with a “D” symbol on FAA airspace maps and drone pilots can find more detailed information about SUA on the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) website.
Violators of SUA may face fines or other penalties“.
Controlled airspace includes classes A, B, C, D, and E airspace. Each classification of airspace has specific restrictions associated with it. In general, drone operations are not allowed in controlled airspace without explicit permission from air traffic control (ATC).
The drone operator easily can obtain flight authorization through the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC). LAANC provides:
- Access to controlled airspace at or below 400 feet
- Awareness of flight altitude restrictions
- Air Traffic Control insight into all drones operation
Temporary Flight Restricted Airspace
The Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) announces event-based Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs). Some examples of TFR restrictions include weather hazards, special events, and national security.
Drone operators should check with their local aviation authority for any TFRs that may be in place. The text of the actual TFR contains the area, altitude, and timeframe of the restrictions. the FAA website maintains a list of active TFRs and a map of TFRs.
Geofencing is a drone technology that uses GPS or radio signals to create an invisible boundary around designated areas. The drone control software sets different levels of flight restrictions based on location. In some areas, the software will either not allow the drone to take off or it will force it to land.
The area around Washington DC is an example of a geofenced zone Geofences enforce government airspace restrictions. However, the drone vendors imposed and control it.
Penalties for Flying A Drone In Restricted Airspace
It is illegal to fly a drone in certain areas, and drone operators who violate these regulations can face severe penalties. The FAA can impose civil penalties ranging from $1,000 to over $20,000 for drone operations that violate airspace restrictions. Also, drone operators may face criminal charges for operating a drone in restricted airspace.
For drone pilots, a thorough understanding of restricted airspace is essential to prevent any dangerous and/or illegal drone operations. With drone technology constantly evolving more drones are taking to the sky every day. Because of this, it is important for drone operators to know their rights and keep airspace safe for everyone. Ignorance of the restrictions can result in significant consequences
Familiarizing oneself with knowledge of local drone laws, regulations, and guidelines. This will ensure you fly your drone responsibly.

The three objectives focuses on the physics principles of motion, gravity and energy. One of the most difficult aspects of space travel and exploration is the departure from Earth.
The amount of energy needed to overcome the grips of Earth's gravity is an engineering feat in itself. your team must develop a unique design that will harness the energy and power needed to propel your "rocket" into space.
Once in space, there are various obstacles to overcome from an engineering and scientific perspective. The development of a orbital transfer system will simulate the obstacles that all space craft must experience. The laws of motion are essential to the understanding how space travel can be accomplished. Newton's third law of motion explains the basic motion motion of a rocket as it travels from the Earth into space and beyond.
When landing a rover on a planet or moon, the payload must first establish an orbit around the destination to help with the landing of the craft. The design and development of a gravity well will simulate the effects of gravity on an object. Stellar bodies such as stars, planets moons and even asteroids possess enough mass to generate a gravitational pull on objects near by.
The design of your project is unique to your teams ideas and build. You may use various materials to complete the build, however the device must be safe to use and easy to set up and reproduce your results. All documentation must be present the day of the reveal.

Jack Horner, the famous dinosaur paleontologist, developed a hypothesis that stated that the mighty T-Rex was not the agile predator that we all paint it out to be, but instead a scavenger like a vulture. His hypothesis is based on scientific study and evidence that he and his team found in the field while digging up T-Rex skeletons at the Hell Creek dig site. Based on the video and information presented, what is your conclusion about the nature of the T-Rex? Was it a predator or a scavenger. Explain and support your answer. | aerospace |

Elon Musk’s SpaceX is about to hit the moon after losing control for seven years. It would have taken another month to get closer to the moon. But the rocket is about to crash on the moon due to an accident.
Experts say an exploding and abandoned part of SpaceX will hit the moon. NASA has asked the rocket company of Musk to provide a spaceship to take astronauts to the surface of the moon. But the spacecraft could not return to its goal successfully.
Based on recent observations and calculations, astronomers claim that Elon Musk’s rocket will land on the moon on March 4 this year.
The rocket was launched in 2015 to put the NASA satellite, the Deep Space Climate Observatory, into orbit. Astronomer Bill Gray told AFP that the rocket’s second stage, or booster, was mathematically floating in a chaotic orbit. From his mathematical analysis this rocket, which will turn into a space junk after the explosion, is known for the day of its destruction.
He added that the booster came very close to the moon in January. After that, the position changes orbit.
Space observers claim that in a few weeks, about four metric tons of “space debris” or space junk will collide with the moon at a speed of about 2.56 km / h. Bill Gray calculates that the upper layer of the Falcon 9 is about to hit far away from the moon near the equator on March 4.
In another blog post, data analyst Dr. Mail writes that on January 5, the rocket formed a lunar orbit and on March 4, it is going to have a big impact.
Bill Gray does mathematical analysis to track objects near the Earth, asteroids, comets. NASA’s Space Observation and Pluto project. There the asteroids and other objects in space are calculated with the help of mathematical software.
He added that the rocket would hit the dark side of the moon at a speed of 5,500 miles per hour or about 9,000 kilometers.
Gray worked with a few amateur astronomers to observe the second phase of the rocket or booster. According to him, due to the ambiguity in measuring the pushing and rotation time of sunlight on the rocket, the exact position of the impact of the rocket is not clear, which may change the orbit even after this. Although the effect will be nothing but very small. However, it will be March 4. Most of the moon is on its way and even though it is close, the effect occurs two days after the new moon.
Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at Harvard University, wrote that SpaceX could have a big impact on March 4, but not so much. However, space observers believe the effects could provide valuable data. | aerospace |

You’ll require a battery (eleven.5v 1500mAh is most frequently advisable), a transmitter, a thing to livestream FPV to (more than likely a set of VR goggles, due to the fact you have already got a smartphone or tablet), along with a battery charger. With everything, you’re fantastic to go. In the event you’re searching for a place to begin in the greater experienced finish of drone racing, This might be an excellent spot to get started on. The assembly is not really much too puzzling and all it require is some insert-ons. GB 190 FPV
Mechanically-inclined pilots may well want to build their particular UAV. Above, we talked about the positives and negatives of creating a machine in contrast to shopping for one particular. In either case, by definition on the Activity you’ll want to acquire a racing drone of your personal.
Look at these drone racing video clips ,it will give you a cause to become involved in drone racing if you are even now not into it mainly because racing drones with camera is fun and entertaining , it gives you adrenaline rush
Prior to deciding to dive head initially into drone racing investments, pay a visit to a number of races to obtain a feel for how things function at these types of gatherings. This is also a possibility to talk to drone racing lovers and specialists about your need to begin.
The drone alone is rather user-helpful. It's got autonomous flying that can go well with newbies. Even When you have in no way flown a drone just before, try to be capable of fly this drone within minutes of taking shipping.
A different Ocusync enabled camera can be installed with your racing drone, then make use of the DJI antenna to produce any customizable drone appropriate with Goggles RE.
Possessing explained that, in case you’re nonetheless getting into fpv racing, going for this kind of Develop from your get-go, will be a bumpy, and doubtless highly-priced experience. These certain racing drone kit builds are developed for a selected, personal type of racing, and likely for just a Establish dependant on any person’s else type must be noticed as an experiment.
They don't all provide up this kind of important prize dollars, but There are a selection of FPV racing leagues showing up world wide. Very last 12 months we observed a bunch of drone pilots consider their cars to some dense forest in the French Alps, darting throughout the trees to become the main one particular throughout the complete line.
You will get the many bells and whistles. An Intel RealSense™ impediment avoidance system results in a 3-D map of your drone’s surroundings and attempts to find a route about road blocks. The RealSense technology also can help you fly the drone indoors and outdoors near the ground. You furthermore mght get Superior issue monitoring attributes that assist you to monitor and concentrate on the topics you need to shoot.
This is a superior drone for pilots that are used to tinkering and customization. Don’t anticipate to choose off when you open up the box because some pre-flight get the job done is required. For those who’re patient and mechanically-inclined, on the other hand, this is an excellent selection for shut-quarters drone racing.
If you have already got major time as being a drone racer below your belt, That is a sexy get as a consequence of its maneuvering capabilities and pace – as well best racing drones as The reality that you can certainly incorporate and take away factors to boost effectiveness.
The propellers will be the parts that eventually let for flight. There really should be no less than four propellers contained in each and every kit, Even though numerous companies source excess propellers to permit for breakage.
Starting Friday, 32 pilots will race during the inaugural Earth Drone Prix, whipping their remote-controlled aerial cars close to a 50 %-mile extended monitor in Dubai, the UAE's major metropolis and residential to planet's tallest setting up. | aerospace |

Keeping packaging equipment up and running is top priority for engineers and plant personnel. Faced with ever-increasing productivity benchmarks based on fast and efficient operation, packaging engineers must continually fight against issues such as sticking, premature wear, abrasion and corrosion. To eliminate these challenges, nano-engineered coatings are being used to protect machine components and solve performance problems in food, pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging.
The development of computer-controlled asphalt testing equipment to simulate and then quantify and predict the punishment which various asphalt mixes will be able to endure when used to pave actual roads has placed enormous burdens on the components of that test equipment. To stand up to simulations of heavy road wear, equipment designers have had to look beyond the conventional and to seek out materials that could endure tremendous stress. That was precisely the position in which the worldwide, leading supplier of such equipment, Pine Instrument Company of Grove City, Pennsylvania, found itself.
Magnadize® protects magnesium from corrosion and can be formulated to protect against wear, outgassing and thermal extremes as well as to minimize friction. | aerospace |

The would-be pilot stood atop the sand dune hill at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, wondering if the craft he was about to fly would work as promised. The wind picked up, and his companions holding the wings of the glider signaled it was time to launch. They began running down the hill, and the muslin-covered wings bit into the air — flight!
The year was not 1902, and the pilot was not one of the Wright brothers. The year was 2019, and the pilot was … me.
The Wright 1902 glider was the final developmental aircraft in the brothers’ quest to attain powered flight. It featured a new three-axis aerodynamic control system that solved problems with skidding and slipping in turns and enabled the pilot to counter adverse yaw. Every airplane built since has the Wright 1902 glider in its DNA. The brothers made more than 1,200 flights in it in 1902 and 1903, paving the way for the Flyer that would engrave their names in the history books. Sadly, the 1902 glider was abandoned at Kitty Hawk as unwanted surplus after its mission was completed, and all that remains of it today is a small piece of wingtip.
As the centennial of the Wrights’ first powered flight approached in 2003, various organizations made plans to celebrate the event and educate the public about the Wright brothers and the birth of the airplane. Several groups made plans to build replicas and reproductions of early Wright aircraft. Most of these were only for static display, but a few were built as airworthy examples intended for flight. EAA’s Countdown to Kitty Hawk was the grandest of all these plans, culminating with an attempt to fly a reproduction of the Flyer on December 17, 2003 (unfortunately, weather prevented it from getting airborne).
The pilots for that program trained much like the Wrights did — by making flights in a reproduction of the Wright 1902 glider. The 1903 Flyer and 1902 glider reproduction aircraft were both built by Ken Hyde and his team at The Wright Experience of Warrenton, Virginia, for the Discovery of Flight Foundation. The glider’s airframe is spruce, like the original, and the fabric used is muslin, also like the original. One concession was made for safety reasons — the wire used is modern and not single-strand like that used in 1902.
When the time came to train the pilots for the centennial event at Kitty Hawk, the glider was modified to handle more like the 1903 Flyer by changing its CG with ballast as well as a new canard modeled off the one used on the Flyer. Wheels were also added for practicality. Once the celebration concluded at the end of 2003, the Flyer reproduction was put on display in The Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The 1902 glider was returned to Virginia and stored.
Enter Kitty Hawk Kites Hang Gliding School. Located at Jockey’s Ridge State Park just a few miles from Kill Devil Hill where the Wrights made aviation history, the school opened in 1974 and has trained over 400,000 students. Paul Glenshaw, who was involved with the centennial events as director of the Discovery of Flight Foundation, took some hang gliding lessons at the school after the anniversary and suggested that the Wright 1902 glider would make a great addition to the institution’s fleet. A deal was struck, and in 2011 the aircraft, now back in its original configuration, became available to the public for flights. No prior flight training of any kind is required. By adding three tethers to the glider — one on the front and one on each wingtip — instructors help the pilot control the aircraft where necessary.
I registered for the program, and August found my Arrow and I crossing the Appalachians from Illinois bound for Kitty Hawk. As with any aircraft, weather governs all operations of the glider, and conditions have to be just right to fly, with wind between 18 and 25 mph. The day before my scheduled flight, instructor Billy Vaughn called to report that early afternoon the next day would be ideal for flying. At 9 a.m. the following morning, Billy called again. The weather was changing and could I fly around 10? Being a pilot and understanding the realities of weather, I said I was ready at any time and would head over immediately. A man about my age looked up as I walked in to the school building, noted my Vintage Aircraft Association volunteer hat and EAA “plane geek” shirt, smiled, and said, “You must be Jim.”
“What gave it away?” I asked. Billy walked me through the inevitable insurance forms and introduced me to the instructors and staff I’d be working with. Wolf, Luke, and Willy all looked like they stepped out of central casting for surfers at Malibu, and somehow found ways to insert the phrases “Sweet!” “All right!” and “Right on!” into every other sentence. I’ve never met a more dedicated or enthusiastic group in my life. They obviously lived and breathed all things hang gliding. Their energy was contagious, and I got swept up in their exuberance and couldn’t wait to get out on the sand and do some flying.
As when getting checked out on any new aircraft, we started with ground training. Billy and I agreed to bypass the basic history of the glider, since I was already familiar with it. We stepped into the rather cramped storage area, and there it was — a re-creation of the first controllable airplane. Its 32-foot wingspan is identical to my Piper Arrow, but this one only weighs about 120 pounds, not 2,500. It was immediately obvious that this was a working airplane and not a pristine museum display piece — parts of the fabric were stained by many landings in the sand, and there were signs of minor repairs scattered about the craft (yet another way it’s like the original).
The Wright 1902 glider, like the 1903 Flyer that followed, is flown from the prone position. The pilot has two controls: a hip cradle and a rotatable hand piece to hold onto in flight. The aileron was not invented by the Wrights; instead this ship’s roll is controlled by warping its wings in birdlike fashion. This requires much of the wing structure to flex on command via a complicated series of wires, pulleys, etc. connected to the hip cradle. Billy advised me not to be shy about control inputs for roll and to slide the cradle to full deflection immediately, and then take out what wasn’t needed. There is no separate rudder control; the hip cradle control is interconnected and deflects the rudder as needed.
Pitch, meanwhile, is controlled by rotating a piece of wood about the size of a standard 1-by-2-inch board. Twist forward and the canard — mounted in view in front of the pilot — pitches the glider down, while twisting back results in pitching the craft up. I had noticed in videos of this and other replicas that the canard flutters in flight and asked Billy why pilots use control inputs that trigger the oscillations, which look counterproductive at best. He replied that the canard flutter is inherent to the design and is not pilot induced. In short, it simply does that. The key to flying the glider, I’m told, is to look forward out over the canard, into the distance. Looking at the ground directly ahead or around you will result in less than optimal performance and handling. This is familiar territory — it’s the same technique every pilot learns to land an airplane.
The storage hangar turns out to be a considerable distance from the dune we will fly from. The crew guides the glider on a wheeled cart along a path up and down over sand dunes; scattered trees require careful turns to avoid having branches damage the wing fabric. It’s already getting hot out, and I’m glad that my new friends who are younger than me are doing the pushing and pulling. Even they are a little winded when we reach the top of the large hill we are going to operate from. We attach the canard and rudder along with their control cables. One person is always holding onto the aircraft; the crew refers to this as the “BBC rule.” When I ask how the rule got its name, everyone looks a little uncomfortable and I’m informed that once upon a time the BBC was filming a segment about the airplane and wanted static shots of it sitting on the sand dune. Having light wing loading, it doesn’t take much wind to create enough lift to get it airborne, and a good gust did exactly that. Now the glider is always held in place by hand.
Billy gives me a helmet and safety harness, equipment the Wrights didn’t have. A safety line attached to the vest will keep me from darting forward into the canard if I land with too much horizontal speed. That’s an unlikely prospect, but it’s nevertheless a wise precaution.
There are several conventional hang gliders on the dune, along with instructors, students, and their companions. The Wright 1902 glider is quite different from anything else around it and immediately attracts attention. Even though people don’t know exactly what it is, they recognize its lineage to the Wright Flyer painted on signs all over Kitty Hawk. I take over talking to onlookers so that the crew can finish assembly and test the controls without interruption.
With assembly complete, it’s time for a test flight. An experienced instructor climbs aboard and the others with safety tethers on the wings and nose begin running down the dune. I’ve watched video of this and other 1902 glider reproductions flying here, but to actually see this one rise majestically into the air and fly by, the crew running and holding onto tethers on the wings and nose, is breathtaking. The glider gracefully alights at the bottom of the dune, and the crew carries the machine back uphill. As they pass, it sinks in — I’m up next.
Mounting the glider reminds me of boarding a floatplane — it’s a process that involves contorting around a number of support wires and struts. I lay down and shift to position myself properly on the spar across my belt line and center myself in the steering cradle. Hands go on the pitch control. One of the guys attaches my safety line. It’s uncomfortable, to put it mildly, but comfort isn’t the objective here. Besides, it’ll be a short flight. The crew on the wings and nose lift the ship up. I help by lifting the center while getting into the “flamingo stance” for launch — one foot on the ground and the other leg straight back with my foot hooked over the rear spar. The breeze jostles the craft while I try to keep my balance (I guess I’d make a lousy flamingo).
While we wait for the proper wind, I have a moment to take everything in. The air is crystal clear. The dune slopes downward in front of me, the wind-sculpted sand broken by brush at the bottom. A half-mile or so beyond is the blue of the Atlantic Ocean. Suddenly the crew members perk up. “This is starting to feel good,” Wolf says, on the nose tether. My untrained senses can’t feel the change in the wind, but obviously they can. After a final check to make sure we’re all ready, we start moving.
“Hop! Hop! Hop!” Wolf calls to me, reminding me of my training. “Put your leg up!” My concern that I wouldn’t be able to find the spar with my foot turns out to be unfounded, and I’m “gear up” in no time. I’m back to being a student pilot again — my senses are overloaded with lots of unfamiliar information, and my brain doesn’t know what to do with it. This is not flying as I know it. “Now relax!” Wolf calls to me from the front and now below me as the aircraft lifts off.
The ship is stable, but it’s so light that it feels every puff of change in wind speed and direction, vertically as well as horizontally. The glider begins oscillating in pitch after a few seconds, and in the classic form of someone flying an unfamiliar airplane, I add to the problem by overcontrolling, rotating the canard control to full deflection both up and down. Because the canard, which serves as the elevator, flaps around so much on its own, it’s difficult for me to get an idea of what part of the deflection is me and what isn’t.
Barely a dozen seconds after launch, it’s time to land. “Flare!” the crew calls, and I rotate the canard control all the way back. The ship doesn’t so much flare as it sinks flat, slowly, before plopping onto the sand. It’s not smooth, but it’s not much of a jolt, either. The sand absorbs the vertical energy well, but I can’t imagine trying to put it down on regular dirt, let alone pavement. Squirm out, unhook, and trudge back up the dune analyzing the flight as the rest of the crew (bless them) haul the glider up the hot sand. The wind was from straight ahead, and with the crew on the wing tethers, I didn’t really have to think about roll much. Pitch is another matter — now that I have some idea of how the plane flies, I can better manage the pitch inputs and do better on the next flight … I hope.
Duck and twist around the wires and struts. Safety line, check. Squirm around to get positioned. Crane neck upward (and be grateful that airplanes eventually went with upright seats that we use today). Stand up with the crew and lift the glider. One leg up and back; hook foot on rear spar. Wait for the wind. Go! As I put my other leg off on takeoff I realize that given the craft’s small size and light weight that doing so actually creates a noticeable CG change. I make a conscious effort to go easier on the pitch inputs this time. “Speed! Speed!” Wolf calls, presumably to the guys on the wing tethers. I don’t know that there’s anything I can do about it. After all, I don’t have an engine and we’re only a few feet off the sand where I can’t trade altitude for airspeed. “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!” he calls a couple of seconds later after things have improved. Someone on one of the wing tethers lets out a whoop shortly thereafter. I’m still oscillating the aircraft in pitch, but it’s less drastic than before. “Flare!” comes the call, and I plop the machine onto the sand. “Nice, man!” Wolf calls out. I’m betting he says that to everyone who doesn’t break the thing, I think as I extract myself from it. Luke and Willy applaud.
Up the dune we go again. Reset, reattach, raise the airplane, and wait for the wind. One of the guys has music playing on his phone, all ’80s. Tears for Fears “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” swirls through the air as I stand on one leg again. “Just out of curiosity,” I call to the crew, “Were any of you even born when this song came out?” They all shake their heads. I feel old — I was in college.
“This feels good,” Wolf says as the breeze picks up, and we all position for launch. “Go!” he calls, and we’re off again. The third flight is better yet. Armed with a whopping minute’s worth of flight time on the ship now, I’m getting a feel for what is normal pitching of the glider in the wind and what I need to give control inputs to correct. Learning to control the Wright 1902 glider in pitch is reminiscent of learning to fly a training airplane in a steep turn — you have to learn to recognize the need for control input early on to avoid pitch and altitude excursions. The flight is smoother, and I’m not skimming the ground on touchdown this time. The ship plops into the sand at the bottom of the dune, and the crew hauls it up yet again.
I still have no feel for the wind at launch; what the crew all senses still evades me. We get underway, and I’m airborne again, but this time I’m not on overload and can begin to concentrate on what is going on rather than just react. I mentally filter pitch changes and apply the correct amount of canard input at the right moment. “Awesome, Jim!” I hear Wolf confirm my improved flying skills. I’m up a little higher on this flight, and the right wing drops just slightly as the ship flutters onto the sand; there’s no time to correct, and probably not enough speed and airflow to reverse it even if I tried. No matter; the ship and I are fine and go back up the dune once more.
I’m actually able to help the crew get a running start on this final launch before folding my legs back onto the rear spar. I finally have a feel for control inputs and know what the sight picture should be, and the glider climbs to a whopping 8-10 feet. The space we have to fly in isn’t any greater than it was before, though, and in no time I have to come down. Because I’m higher, the landing is inevitably more of a drop and jolt than the other four were. Unknown to me until then I let my right leg dangle a bit on this flight, and my knee gets scraped in the sand on touchdown. While annoying, it makes life a little more interesting for the next couple of weeks when people ask, “How did you do that?” Not many people can respond with, “Landing a reproduction of the Wright brothers’ 1902 glider at Kitty Hawk.”
I wriggle out of the glider for the last time and am happy to shed my helmet and harness in the 90-plus degree heat. One of the crew rides the wheeled cart for the glider down the dune as if riding a wave on a surfboard. We unfasten and disconnect the ship’s canard and rudder for transport. The airplane is lifted back onto the cart, the rudder is fastened flat onto the center section, and yours truly is given the job of carrying the canard and its connecting struts. As we meander the path back to the school buildings, I get a couple of lessons of just how much lift is generated by the glider’s canard in the gusts, but keep control.
During the walk, the crew of Wolf, Luke, and Willy praise my flying skills, saying I’m one of the better Wright 1902 glider pilots they’ve seen. Wolf has been telling me that all along, and I tell the other two I’m sure he says that to all their customers. “Naw, man,” Luke says. “Wolf’s honest. If you suck, he’ll tell you.” On the other hand, many or most of their customers aren’t already pilots. With all the experience I have, I’d better be able to do a decent job. I’m officially the 213th person ever to fly a Wright 1902 glider.
Back in the office, Billy Vaughn and I talk shop as I cool off. He is also the historian of the Rogallo Foundation. NASA engineer Francis Rogallo invented the wing now named after him, and the design became the basis for hang gliders and modern parachutes. Billy is currently working on Rogallo’s biography after spending months going through the engineer’s collection of papers at a local archive, processing the material as he went. Having worked in an archive and written a couple of biographies I understand the challenges involved. He and others are also working to establish a museum on Rogallo and his designs on the school site.
The next day I make a visit to the Wright Brothers National Memorial a couple of miles away from where I flew the glider. I’ve been there before, even landed my Arrow on the site’s runway, but this visit is different — there’s a personal connection now. I walk to the top of Kill Devil Hill and look down. The museum and the flying site that mark the birth of powered flight are readily visible in the distance, but my thoughts are of what it must have been like to fly the glider here. Kill Devil Hill is approximately 100 feet high, taller and steeper than the hill I flew from at Jockey’s Ridge State Park. The Wrights flew the 1902 glider more than 1,200 times from here; their longest flight was a minute and 12 seconds. What must that have been like with no instructor to teach or guide them, no tethers to keep the ship safe and under control, and no experience?
EAA members prefer our aviation history to be living history. We’d rather see historic and vintage aircraft in the sky where they belong when possible, or better yet, fly them ourselves. Fortunately for us, Kitty Hawk Kites makes the Wright 1902 glider replica available for anyone to fly; one need not even be a pilot or have any training to fly this remarkable machine.

saber basic innovative plastic recently announced that the company has launched a new breakthrough technology for manufacturing semi-structured aircraft interior trim parts with high-end ultem* polyetherimide (PEI) resin after years of development. This new type of ULTEM composite aviation board (CAB) plate is jointly developed and produced by saber basic innovative plastic and leading specialty paper manufacturer Crane Co., which is an ideal material to replace thermosetting aramid fiber reinforced honeycomb composites. The ULTEM cab sheet can not only be rapidly hot formed, with a wide range of high-end performance, recyclable, but also has the possibility of surface renovation with newly developed decorative film materials to extend the service life. 6. After fluorosilicone resin, it can also meet the industry requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). At present, a large airline company is trying this plate. Saber basic innovative plastics, combined with crane's expertise, once again provides cost-effective solutions for the global aviation industry
Kim Choate, head of global ULTEM product market for saber basic innovative plastics, said: "With ULTEM cab plate, saber basic innovative plastic and crane have obvious advantages over traditional honeycomb composites in the application of this plate. Not only the large DSC method and YBB method confirm that this batch of polypropylene bottles for oral use are mixed with recycled material, which reduces the manufacturing cycle time and doubles the service life of parts. ULTEM resin has excellent safety performance and light weight, and has been a star product in aircraft interior applications for many years 。 Today, this ULTEM resin and glass fiber reinforced composite board once again proves its outstanding wide application space and form, and provides additional value for the aircraft industry. We believe that ULTEM cab panel will become a new and important standard to measure the interior trim panel. "Dennis Lockyer, vice president of non-woven fabrics and technical materials of Crane Co., said: "Because of the leading position of saber basic innovative plastics' high-performance materials in aircraft interior applications, we chose to work closely with it. Therefore, we also saw the opportunity and space to apply our professional special paper technology in a new way. We want to create an innovative and technologically advanced paper composite, and ULTEM resin is the solution we need. Our cooperation with saber basic innovative plastics is very successful This will help us diversify our product range and target new market opportunities. "
first class thermoplastic composite technology
using advanced thermoplastic materials to replace the traditional thermosetting materials used in Aircraft Interiors has many advantages, such as easy recycling, among which the most significant advantage is to reduce the system cost. Because the aramid honeycomb composite is extremely sensitive to humidity and ultraviolet (UV), the porous edges of the parts must be manually filled and sealed, and this process takes up to 10 hours. On the contrary, ULTEM resin has excellent UV resistance and low moisture absorption, so ULTEM cab sheet parts can be hot formed quickly in a few minutes without secondary finishing. In addition to speeding up the manufacturing cycle time, ULTEM cab can not only meet the requirements of flame retardant, low smoke and non-toxic (FST) required by the industry, but also prolong the service life of the plate and reduce the system cost by changing the surface layer, while the previous aramid honeycomb composites cannot provide these characteristics to customers
ultem cab board has extraordinary FST performance, which is the reason why ULTEM resin is famous. This material exceeds the stringent Ohio State University (OSU) 55/55 standard. In addition, it also has the characteristics of light weight. The average weight of ULTEM cab plate is 1350 g/m2, which can be customized to meet the weight requirements of various parts
the target application fields of this new composite material include side walls, cockpit instrument panels, ceilings, door linings and partitions

DefenseReview has been contacted by a number of journalists (reporters and writers) to get our take on the Northrop Grumman/EADS (Airbus) aerial refueling tanker aircraft contract award and subsequent Boeing protest situation. This is a big-deal situation, since our current fleet of KC-135 tanker aircraft are getting quite long in the tooth, and even the initial contract award is quite large: $35B (Billion) to $40 (depending on whose numbers you use) for 175 replacement aircraft. Ultimately, we could be talking about up to 500 aircraft for a total price tag of approx. $100 billion ($100B). In reality, of course, if history tells us anything, the actual pricetag will most likely be more than expected, so $100B is most likely a conservative estimate.
Well, here it is (our opinion): the U.S. Airforce absolutely made the right decision in choosing the EADS/Northrop-developed KC-45A tanker aircraft (a.k.a. KC-45, a modified Airbus A330 commercial aircraft) over the Boeing KC-767 Global Tanker Aircraft for the KC-X program. The concesus among aerospace and defense industry insiders with whom Defense Review has spoken is that…
Boeing lost because they were "arrogant" and "lazy", had an overall feeling of entitlement, and thought they had the contract in the bag. So, EADS/Northrop Grumman deserved to win, and Boeing deserved to lose. Sue Payton, chief of Air Force procurement, put it succinctly: "Northrop Grumman brought their A-game."
Not surprisingly, Boeing protested the Air Forces decision, and some U.S. lawmakers, i.e. Senators and Congressman, had veritable kanipshin fits, claiming that the Air Force’s decision was unfair, and that it would result in the loss of American jobs. One of the bases of Boeing’s protest is the cost issue. The Air Force contended that the EADS/Northrop team offered a better product at a lower lifetime cost. However, the Congressional Government Accountability Office (GAO) sustained Boeing’s protest, determining that the Boeing’s modified 767 would actually cost slightly less over its lifetime.
"But the real problem on the Boeing side of the argument is that no one protested Airbus’ role as one of two contenders for the contract when everyone thought Boeing had the deal sewn up. In other words, they liked the appearance of competition, but not its reality," writes Mark Thompson for Time Magazine. And that’s exactly it. Thompson’s hit it right on the head. Why are U.S. lawmakers so outraged? Why weren’t they vocal about EADS/Airbus being a contender in the race from the outset? In a true competition, the playing field should be level and the best product should win, right? So, they should have known that EADS/Northrop could very well win it.
The truth is, they didn’t know that EADS/Northrop could actually win it, because EADS/Northrop wasn’t supposed to win it, because Boeing was supposed to win it. Or something to that effect.
Unfortunately, someone forgot to notify the U.S. Air Force about the plan and the fix being in. So, the Air Force did a crazy thing–they chose the best/superior product. According to the Air Force, the KC-45A is just a better aircraft for the mission. DefenseReview agrees.

Since the planes were banned from the air over air disasters that left 346 dead, the head of Boeing's 737 programme had told employees that the damning discovery was "absolutely unacceptable".
But a Boeing spokesman said the company did "not see the issue" in further delaying the jet's return to service.
It comes as the 737 Max remains grounded after two fatal crashes.
According to an internal memo, foreign objects, an industrial term for rags, tools, metal shavings and other materials left behind by workers during the production process, has been a quality control issue for various Boeing aircraft, such as its KC-46 tankers.
Mark Jenks, general manager of the 737 program, told employees that the company was "taking steps to address the issue" in its production system.
The objects were found during maintenance work on some of the hundreds of 737 MAX jetliners Boeing has built but not delivered due to a worldwide ban imposed last March following two crashes, he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The 737 Max was grounded in March 2019 after air disasters in Indonesia and Ethiopia left 346 dead.
Worried Boeing workers thought the controversial 737 Max passenger jet was "designed by clowns" — damning internal communications reveal.
MOST READ IN US NEWS
The highly-revealing messages show employees slamming the plane, their bosses and the FAA.
In one exchange — before the first of the two deadly crashes — an unnamed employee asked: "Would you put your family on a Max simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn't."
Another fumed: "This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys." | aerospace |

September 17-20, 2017
There is an increasing demand for advanced materials with temperature capability in highly corrosive environments for aerospace. Rocket nozzles of solid/hybrid rocket motors must survive harsh thermochemical and mechanical environments produced by high performance solid propellants (2700-3500°C). Thermal protection systems (TPS) for space vehicles flying at Mach 7 must withstand projected service temperatures up to 2500°C associated to convective heat fluxes up to 15 MWm-2 and intense mechanical vibrations at launch and re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. The combination of extremely hot temperatures, chemically aggressive environments and rapid heating/cooling is beyond the capabilities of current materials.
As indicated by the previous talk, the main purpose of C3HARME is to design, develop, manufacture, test and validate a new class of out-performing, reliable, cost-effective and scalable Ultra High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites (UHTCMCs) based on C fibre preforms enriched with ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) and capable of in-situ repairing damage induced during operation in severe aerospace environments. Two main applications are envisaged: near-ZERO erosion rocket nozzles that must maintain dimensional stability during firing in combustion chambers, and near-ZERO ablation thermal protection systems enabling hypersonic space vehicles to maintain flight performance.
This talk aims at providing an indication of progress to date within Work Package 2, which is focused on the processing of Cf-ZrB2 UHTCMCs. Four primary routes are being investigated, these include: green forming of fibre reinforced UHT ceramics followed by spark plasma sintering; radio-frequency enhanced chemical vapour infiltration of UHTCMCs; reactive melt infiltration of UHTCMCs and polymer infiltration and pyrolysis of UHTCMCs. All four approaches will be outlined and conclusions drawn, plus there will be a brief mention of ongoing work into atomistic modelling of processes at materials interfaces and nanoparticle dispersion with a view to imparting self-healing properties.

A swarm of tiny spacecraft might just do the job.
That's the finding of Alison Gibbings and Massimiliano Vasile, a pair of aerospace engineers at the UK's University of Strathclyde. Their idea is to send a swarm of spacecraft all roughly the size of a pebble at an oncoming asteroid.
New Scientists says that 500 kilograms worth of the spacecraft could push a 250 meter wide asteroid at least 35,000 kilometers off its course. And that would be more than enough to make it not collide with Earth.
The swarm of spacecraft could be ferried from Earth to the asteroid in one big rocket. Once there, the swarm could form a sort of cloud-like shape around the asteroid, running off solar power and slowly guiding the asteroid off course.
It's much better than trying to land on the asteroid and drilling a hole in it to plant a nuclear bomb. Anyone would agree.

From advancements in farming to oil recovery techniques, a new idea and technology has found a start in its fertile landscape. Now, a digital, tech-savvy generation is making its way to the state to connect with expertise and excitement as North Dakota positions itself to become the Silicon Valley of the drone industry.
North Dakota is already well positioned as a national hub for the unmanned aerial systems industry. Since being named one of six FAA UAS test sites, start-ups and “big dogs” alike – Northrop Grumman and General Atomics are investing millions in North Dakota and are looking to UAS opportunities in the state.
“North Dakota is not positioning to become a leader, it already is one,” North Dakota Department of Commerce Aerospace Business Development Manager Brian Opp said. “It is the best state to test drones in and has provided more than $36.7 million to advance UAS technology and applications.” Opp points to the fact the state is collaborating with domestic and international organizations to build this emerging industry. “We are becoming the Silicon Valley for drones,” he says.
A growing cluster of UAS research, business and military interests call North Dakota home. Successful partnerships among private businesses, universities and the state continue to strengthen North Dakota’s position as a UAS leader. North Dakota boasts one of the most unencumbered and accessible airspaces in the nation. The state continues to have a strong economy, and businesses and residents are enjoying some of the largest cuts in income and property taxes in the state’s history.
Worldwide annual spending in the UAS industry is expected to exceed $11 billion by 2022, according to research conducted by the Teal Group Corporation. Most spending will occur in research, development, testing, evaluation and procurement, and it will nearly double from $6.6 billion in 2013 to $11.4 billion in 2022.
The First Unmanned Business Park in the U.S.
The first UAS-focused business park in the United States, called Grand Sky, is now open for business in North Dakota. Grand Sky is located on 217 acres of the Grand Forks Air Force Base, just west of the city of Grand Forks. Grand Sky tenants, like Northrop Grumman enjoy access to the Air Force Base’s runway and the ability to launch and recover all classes of UAS. The full package includes safe airspace to test fly, connection to local investors interested in the UAS industry, and access to a UAS data communication infrastructure.
“The park will offer state-of-the-art facilities for UAS development, testing and training, sensor technology development and data analysis and management,” North Dakota Economic Development & Finance Division Director Paul Lucy said. “It capitalizes on the state’s UAS test site, the expertise of regional academic institutions such as the University of North Dakota’s UAS Center of Excellence, and is an excellent location for the growing cluster of private UAS companies.”
Since becoming the nation’s first operational test site in 2014, North Dakota has attracted investment from leading aerospace companies including General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., Northrop Grumman, the U.S. Air Force and NASA. Entrepreneurs are also finding niches within the industry, along with utility companies — hoping to use UAS technology for monitoring purposes.
“North Dakota is the place for entrepreneurs looking for exciting opportunities in the rapidly-expanding UAS industry,” Opp said. “North Dakota wants them to know that we have the resources and capability to robustly support them in their endeavors.”
Because of North Dakota’s reputation for UAS innovation and location as an FAA test site, the state is already seeing organic growth in startups focused on UAS.
Botlink, a cloud-based operations platform that links drones to industry in real time, is one such success story. Botlink’s platform allows users to capture, process and automatically deliver aerial imagery anywhere, including into existing business software. The company, based in Fargo, also provides automated drone control and safety features such as airspace alerts, manned aircraft avoidance and weather advisories, allowing operators to remain safe and compliant with complex flight regulations.
Opp explains many of North Dakota’s startup companies working in the UAS industry are supported by the University of North Dakota (UND) and its business incubator, the Center for Innovation. UND was the first university to offer a degree program in unmanned aviation in 2009 and has one of the largest university training program available for unmanned aircraft systems.
This includes companies like SkySkopes, Field of View, and EdgeData. All of these companies have been able to take advantage of the forward-thinking UAS resources that are available in North Dakota.
“North Dakota continues to attract innovators in UAS technology, and we welcome the opportunity to foster entrepreneurship here and set the leading example for best practices in this sector,” Lucy said. “You will see the next generation of drone technology developed in North Dakota.”

The test is part of a larger Pentagon effort to assess the cockpit environment after a chemical attack, leading to improved development of protective gear. Other aircraft will be evaluated in the years to come.
In the recent test, liquid methyl salicylate, a common ingredient in breath mints, was sprayed into the idle jet before taxiing to simulate a chemical weapons attack, the service said in a report.
The heat from the engine vaporized the chemical and it flew into the cockpit, exposing the crew.
Airborne Chemical Purge
Later, the aircraft’s environmental control system activated during flight, purging the gas. This allowed the crew to complete their mission without “chemical/biological protection suits and respirators,” the service said.
“The data helps us understand what is happening inside the aircraft as it operates after a chemical weapons attack and flies through a contaminated environment,” Senior Chemistry, Biology, Radiology and Nuclear Analyst William Greer said.
“What we are learning ultimately helps inform aircraft design teams about opportunities to improve aircraft environments and, with better crew equipping, enables crews to execute their missions more effectively in an environment of chemical threat.”
Next generation aircrew protective equipment
The test measured the duration of the purge. Another element of the test involved exposing the crew to various chemical simulants to detect any leaks or hot spots.
“Each aircraft is different in size and air capacity, which contributes to how quickly the chemical is purged from the aircraft,” said the first mate, test engineer for 28 Test Squadron and devaluation. Andrew DeNicola said.
“Even a small change in crew dexterity can affect the way the aircraft flies or the types of missions it can accomplish, so if we can minimize the amount of time a member has to put on their protective gear, it will improve tactics, techniques and operational procedures.” | aerospace |

https://adagold.com.au/b-21-raiders-first-flight-and-australias-strategic-interests/ | 2024-03-02T07:10:28 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475757.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20240302052634-20240302082634-00153.warc.gz | 0.920016 | 518 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__152137625 | en | The recent first flight of the Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider, a next-generation stealth bomber, marks a significant milestone in military aviation.
The B-21 Raider, which took off from Northrop Grumman’s facility in Palmdale, California on November 10, 2023, represents the latest advancement in aerial combat technology, showcasing capabilities that could redefine global defense strategies.
In a surprising move, the Australian federal government has decided not to purchase the B-21 Raider, as revealed in its Defence Strategic Review. Instead, the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) will focus on investing in next-generation, long-range missiles to be used by Australia’s fleet of F-35s and Super Hornets. This decision reflects a strategic shift in Australia’s defense approach, favoring versatile missile systems over long-range bombers.
In an earlier interview, Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles had hinted that the RAAF was considering the acquisition of the B-21 Raider, mentioning that the next-generation stealth bomber was “being examined” for its potential to enhance Australia’s defense capabilities. This consideration follows remarks from U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, who expressed the U.S.’s willingness to discuss the sale of the B-21 Raider to Australia.
The potential acquisition (or not) of the B-21 Raider aligns with Australia’s ongoing efforts to modernize its defense forces. The RAAF has already made significant strides in this direction with the introduction of the F-35 to its fleet, replacing the Classic Hornets, and is contemplating an expansion of its F-35 fleet.
Defence Minister Marles emphasized the importance of the F-35 in Australia’s defense strategy, describing it as “an utterly essential component to our air force and the potency of our defense force.” The consideration of the B-21 Raider, alongside the existing fleet of F-35s, indicates Australia’s commitment to maintaining a robust and technologically advanced defense posture.
The first flight of the B-21 Raider not only demonstrates a leap forward in military aviation technology but also highlights the evolving nature of global defense strategies. For Australia, the potential addition of these new aircraft to its arsenal reflects a strategic vision aimed at enhancing its capabilities in an increasingly complex security environment. As the world watches the development of this advanced aircraft, Australia’s defense decisions will be closely monitored for their implications in the broader context of aerial warfare and global security. | aerospace |

About the Author
"The Sky Above tells the story of dedication, perseverance, passion, and enduring faith, which made a lifelong dream and vision a reality. A book that demonstrates that the seemingly unattainable can indeed be achieved. A story of value to both young and old with goals yet to attain." —George W. S. Abbey, former director of NASA's Johnson Space Center and fellow in the Space Policy Program at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy
"The Sky Above is a must-read, especially for space buffs. It is the personal story of an Air Force jet pilot becoming an astronaut and fulfilling his life's dream. The book includes one of the best descriptions I have read of what it was like to fly the Space Shuttle. It also contains a very moving personal account of the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger." —Robert L. Crippen, Captain, USN (Ret.) , former naval aviator, test pilot, NASA astronaut, and pilot of first orbital flight of the Space Shuttle
"Casper tells a thorough, and interesting, story of his life in The Sky Above, including the setbacks he encountered along the way and, as the subtitle suggests, how his religious faith offered guidance through difficult times. It illustrates, among other things, how active the shuttle program was in the era when he was an astronaut, but how that activity could mask, or even lead to, deeper problems down the road." —The Space Review
"The Sky Above fills several gaps in the record of the Shuttle program and of astronaut life. The author represents the second generation of pilot astronauts, whose experiences before and during their times at NASA differ from the first generation of astronauts. This is a well-written book that takes the reader along for the ride in the cockpits of many aircraft, including many we don't associate with test piloting, and onto the flight deck of the Shuttle for an enjoyable ride." —Quest
"John Casper tells how he achieved his 'American Dream' of flying in space through hard work and determination, and faith in his God. His stories are real, engaging, and instructive in how to achieve personal goals." —Jerry L. Ross, former astronaut, veteran of seven Space Shuttle missions, and author of Spacewalker: My Journey in Space and Faith as NASA's Record-Setting Frequent Flyer | aerospace |

A CF-188 Hornet, commonly known as a CF-18, from 4 Wing Cold Lake crashed inside the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range inside Saskatchewan at 11:09 a.m.
Public affairs officer Mathew Strong said emergency crews were en route to the crash site.
“Our primary concern at this time is the status and safety of the aircraft’s occupant and any impact to the immediate area,” Strong said.

A few days ago, the TAU-SAT3 satellite was launched on SpaceX's Falcon 9 launcher, designed to demonstrate optical and quantum communication from space using tiny satellites
The center will make available to entrepreneurs, companies and researchers the infrastructure for the development of small satellites and their components, and will enable the expansion of the ecosystem in the field
It's too late for Umuamoa, but we can be ready for the next strange interstellar visitor if we want to. It is possible to design and build a spacecraft that will encounter such an object at short notice
Tel Aviv University launched a "smart material" into space - a folded polymer that unfolds to its original shape when heated
The satellite was received strongly and clearly by 4 ground stations in Israel connected by a network between them: at Tel Aviv University, at the Science Center in Herzliya, at the Negev Gate and in Biruchem. In the coming days, it will be rerouted to its fixed orbit
The satellite will be launched packed inside a Northrop Grumman Cygnus model supply spacecraft. Northrop Grumman's Cygnus will be launched on Saturday, 19:36 p.m. Israel time. The launch will then take place at the Atlantic Regional Space Center on Wallops Island in Virginia.
As part of the cooperation, a mission receiver and a satellite computer were developed for the Adelis-Samson project. In this project, three nanosatellites will be launched that will be transported in space in an autonomous manned flight | aerospace |

Abstract:ESDU 76034 gives a graphical method for use in initial design that relates the thrust of the uninstalled engine during take-off to the static, sea-level thrust. The method was developed for use in estimating field length and climb gradient and correlates computed performance data for engines representative of current design practice; it applies to turbo-jet and turbo-fan engines over a range of ambient conditions. The effects of reheat (for turbo-jets and for turbo-fans with mixed exhaust flow) and of flat rating are taken into account. The thrust data are plotted against freestream Mach number between 0 and 0.4 and engine design specific thrust; for engines for which that parameter is unknown, a graph relates values to by-pass ratio between 0 and 10 and turbine inlet temperature up to 1550 K (or reheat exit temperature as appropriate). The effects of installation losses have to be considered separately and one of these, the effect of intake total pressure loss, is considered in ESDU 77001.

Apr 1, 2024, 9:16 PM | Updated: 9:42 pm
(Bruce Bennett, Getty Images/FILE via CNN Newsource)
(CNN) — United Airlines is asking its pilots to take voluntary unpaid leave in May because of delays in Boeing deliveries, according to a memo sent by the union representing pilots.
Because of the delivery delay, “our forecasted block hours for 2024 have been reduced and we are offering our pilots voluntary programs for the month of May to reduce excess staffing,” United Airlines said in a statement Monday. It also comes as the industry warns of a mass pilot shortage, as the workforce begins to age out after widespread furloughs during Covid-19.
The voluntary programs could possibly extend into summer and fall, the memo said. The offer means the company will still pay some benefits while the pilot is out.
Monday’s development signals the fallout from Boeing’s production crisis is spilling over into airline operations, especially United, where 81% of its mainline operations use Boeing jets. The Federal Aviation Administration is taking a closer look at United after a series of almost a dozen incidents at the airline, United said in a March memo.
Pilots and United Airlines
United had already announced it halted the hiring of new pilots “due to continued new aircraft certification and manufacturing delays at Boeing.” Southwest Airlines, which flies nothing but Boeing 737 jets, also will hire about 50% fewer pilots and 60% fewer flight attendants than planned this year due to Boeing cutting deliveries to the airline by about 40%. It will also trim capacity from earlier plans, offering about 1 percentage point fewer seats than it had planned.
United CEO Scott Kirby told investors in March that his company is looking at possibly buying more jets from Boeing competitor Airbus, and he said earlier this year that an Alaska Air incident — during which a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane lost a door plug mid-flight on January 5, leaving a hole in the side of the plane — was the “straw that broke the camel’s back” on its plans to get deliveries of the Max 10 any time in the foreseeable future.
United uses far more Boeings than its rivals American Airlines and Delta Air Lines which have only about half their fleets coming from Boeing. The union said Monday that the delivery issues pertain to the 787 and 737 fleets.
On March 15, a United Boeing 737-800 landed in Medford, Oregon, missing an external panel, though no passengers were injured. Also in March, another United Boeing plane spewed flames from an engine after taking off, one slid off the runway, one lost a wheel during takeoff, and yet another trailed hydraulic fluid.
“While they are all unrelated, I want you to know that these incidents have our attention and have sharpened our focus,” Kirby said in a March message to customers.
Boeing has been in the spotlight since the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 incident.
It is not the first time the airline has tried to cut pilots. During the pandemic, airlines offered tens of thousands of furloughs and voluntary buyouts due to lack of flying. | aerospace |

The large expanse of uninhabited land in Australia presents a huge challenge for the aeromedical industry. Patient transfer from the point of evacuation to the primary care facility often involves multiple transfers between helicopters, fixed wing air ambulances and road ambulances.
GVH was presented with the challenge to design an aeromedical evacuation system that is compatible with helicopters, fixed wing air ambulances and road ambulances. This evacuation system is designed to eliminate the need for stretcher transfer between the different aerial and land platforms. The elimination of stretcher transfers reduces the risk of injury to the medical personnel and improves the patient outcome. This integrated aeromedical evacuation system is also designed to be role-fit equipment that can be packed for storage onboard the aircraft. The system is designed to be fitted by the pilots, allowing rapid role conversion from regular passenger transport to the medevac role in the field. This revolutionary aeromedical system is compatible with Airbus H225, Sikorsky S-92 and the Beech 200/350 King Air aircraft and is currently in operational service in Australia, providing trouble-free service and helping save lives. This has resulted in:
- Increased operational flexibility for aircraft and helicopter operators
- Reduced workplace injuries for medical workers

In a press release, Google said that it was 48 years ago when the first spacecraft landed on the moon, adding that the new service is yet another milestone achieved, where Street View will be showing pictures from outer space without the impact of gravity to explore the ISS over the internet with 360 photos from Google Maps and Earth.
Users will be able to tour the station, which includes 15 units. Google noted that users will be able to walk around the station through Google Maps while reading comments that provide information, such as the place where astronauts exercise to maintain their physical fitness, the type of food they eat, and where they conduct their scientific experiments.
The Street View service emerged from the idea of Google founder Larry Page and his vision of creating a 360 map. | aerospace |

The disciplinary scope of CoPP includes the study of those aspects of planetary environments, the life sciences, spacecraft engineering and technology, and science policy relevant to the control of biological cross-contamination arising from the robotic spacecraft missions and the human exploration and utilization of solar system bodies. CoPP will have two primary tasks:
- To monitor progress in implementing the planetary protection guidelines associated with priority missions and programs identified in the planetary science decadal survey—Vision and Voyages for Planetary Science in the Decade 2013-2022—and in successor planetary science decadal surveys, and other relevant reports issued by the National Academies; and
- To serve as a source of information and advice on those measures undertaken by robotic spacecraft and human exploration missions to protect the biological and environmental integrity of extraterrestrial bodies for future scientific studies and the means to preserve the integrity of Earth’s biosphere when spacecraft return potentially hazardous extraterrestrial materials to Earth.
The committee will carry out its charge at its in-person and virtual meetings by gathering evidence from experts, deliberating, and, when necessary, by preparing short assessment reports detailing progress in areas relating to NASA’s planetary protection guidelines or new scientific and technical developments. Such reports may include findings and discussion of key activities undertaken by NASA as well as the status of its actions that relate to the state of implementation of priority missions and programs.
For other advisory activities that require a more in-depth review than is possible through the normal operation of the CoPP, Space Studies Board, Board on Life Sciences, Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board, and NASA will negotiate a task for a separate ad hoc committee, taking advantage, as appropriate, of the expertise in the CoPP.
Through its regular meetings, the CoPP will also serve the secondary functions of:
- Providing an independent, authoritative forum for the scientific community, the federal government, international space agencies, relevant private-sector entities and organizations, and the interested public to identify and discuss emerging issues in the scientific, technical, and engineering aspects of planetary protection policies and guidelines;
- Identifying and prioritizing necessary research and development activities required to advance the development of planetary protection guidelines designed to ensure that the exploration and utilization of extraterrestrial environments is conducted responsibly; and,
- Providing a forum for interactions with the International Science Council’s Committee on Space Research and other national and international organizations through the addition of international participants when appropriate and in coordination with the SSB.
In keeping with its charge “to serve as a source of information and advice on those measures undertaken by robotic spacecraft and human exploration missions to protect the biological and environmental integrity of extraterrestrial bodies for future scientific studies….” the Committee on Planetary Protection shall draft a short report on the impact of human activities on the polar volatiles and the scientific value of protecting the surface and subsurface regions of the Earth’s Moon from organic and biological contamination. The short report should contain a clear exposition of the following:
- An overview of the current scientific understanding, value, and potential threat of organic and biological contamination to:
- Permanently shadowed regions that have scientific value in the study of the history of the solar system and its associated organic compounds,
- Research on the Moon relevant to understanding the process of prebiotic chemical evolution and the origin of life.
- Assess the likelihood that spacecraft reaching the lunar surface will transfer volatiles to polar cold traps.
- An assessment, to the degree possible, of how much and which regions of the Moon’s surface and subsurface are of sufficient scientific value to warrant protection from organic and biological contamination. | aerospace |

The C.I.S. manned space station Mir with MIR-19 cosmonauts Commander Anatoliy Y. Solovyev and Flight engineer Nikolai M. Budarin, Mir-20 Cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko, Sergei Avdeyev and Thomas Reiter and will be appearing in the MN dusk skies August 12 to September 4th. then re-appearing in the morning skies September 20th to October 10th.
Yuri Gidzenko, Thomas Reiter and Sergei Avdeyev
Amateur radio operators can log into the Mir 'Packet' (R0MIR-1) BBS on 145.550 MHz. The cosmonauts also use this freq. to talk with amateur radio operators on the ground during their off-hours.
For exact times and locations to see the space station over your backyard call MN MIRWATCH Coordinator Ben Huset at (612) 639-9109. This info is also available on the MN SFS computer BBS at (612) 459-0892 (300-14,400 baud). Look for MIRWATCH and other great space stuff on my web page at http://www.skypoint.com/members/benhuset/.
Astronauts and cosmonauts who participated in the historic link-up of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the Russian space station Mir narrated a 16-minute IMAX film clip taken during the recently completed STS-71/Mir 18 mission. The special showing took place at the National Air and Space Museum's Langley Theater on Wednesday, August 2. Following the 16-minute film clip, the astronauts and cosmonauts took questions from the media. This event was later re-broadcast on NASA TV. You can DOWNLOAD several JPEGed IMAX images of Atlantis/Mir from http://shuttle.nasa.gov/sts-71/images/mir-imax/ or the MN SFS RBBS @ 612-459-1758.
I sure MISS the weekly TV Mir 'Mission Update' status reports and almost daily status reports from NASA while Norm was on-board. News from Mir is once again scarce. Hopefully things will get better during the STS-74/2nd Mir docking launch on October 26th.
PAINTINGS TO BE LAUNCHED TO MIR: ESA has agreed to launch some paintings to Mir. The cosmonauts and astronauts of Mir 19/20/STS-74 will select one to keep on board. The other paintings will be returned to Earth for a future international tour. One offering from each artist who submitted work to the project will also be recorded on a hard disk and sent to Mir.
The OURS Foundation of Embrach, Switzerland, is managing the Ars ad Astra, or Art to the Stars, competition and selected paintings to be launched to Mir as part of ESA's Euro-Mir '95 mission. The winning artist will receive a wristwatch that previously flew on Mir. ESA is paying for the Arts ad Astra exhibition through its public relations budget.
OURS invited artists to submit works on the theme of 'Space and Humanity' for the project. They received an enthusiastic response. More than 80 artists from the around the world submitted 171 works, ranging from a bawdy cartoon to an x-ray of a dead fish.
The chosen pieces had not only to display talent, but had to meet stringent size and weight requirements. The 20 works selected together weigh only 8.7 ounces. The artists were also required to use only non-toxic colors to protect the astronauts and to restrict the size of their paintings to a maximum eight by 12 inches.
Among the works chosen to hang weightless in the cosmos was one painting showing a grandfather and child gazing pensively at a starship headed toward Earth. In another, aborigines dance around a fire as a rocket takes off from its center. One work by German painter Peter Eickmeyer depicted three footprints. Also submitted was comic drawing showed a nude female astronaut tethered to a wall and trying to convince her partner to do the same. "Come on honey, it's the only way," read the caption. This piece was NOT selected.
The EuroMir'95/Mir-20 mission is currently scheduled for launch Sept. 3rd at 11:59 CET.
EUROMIR'95, the European Space Agency's second flight aboard Russia's Mir space station, will last a record-breaking 135 days and includes a spacewalk and some 40 scientific experiments.

The training program for ESA astronauts Thomas Reiter and Christer Fuglesang has been intense. By the time the Soyuz rocket carrying the EUROMIR 95 astronaut lifts off its launch pad, the ESA astronauts will have received some 3,500 hours of mission training. On March 17th, 1995, Reiter was named the prime crew member for the mission and Fuglesang member of the stand-by crew. Cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Avdeyev round out the Mir-20 Crew.
Construction of most of the scientific equipment for EUROMIR '95 has only recently been completed, so much of the scientific training has taken place this year. The astronauts will use sophisticated European medical, technical and materials processing facilities. Much of the experiment training is taking place at the EAC, saving time and cutting the costs of sending scientists and equipment to Russia. Pre-flight baseline data collection, where the astronauts perform experiments as they would in space, allow scientists to compare ground-based results with those gathered later in space and also helps the astronauts become familiar with the experiments. The EUROMIR astronauts require a thorough understanding of the experiments, also because mission scientists cannot always be consulted when the station is out of communication range.
BOEING, KHRUNICHEV SIGN CONTRACT FOR SPACE STATION ELEMENT: Final agreement was reached on a $190 million contract for Russia to provide the first flight element of the international Space Station. The agreement signed by NASA's Space Station prime contractor, Boeing Defense & Space Group, and Russia's State Research and Production Space Center (Khrunichev) will lead to completion, delivery, launch, and on-orbit checkout in November 1997 of the Functional Energy Block -- or FGB -- a modified Russian space vehicle that will serve as the first building block for the on-orbit construction of the international Space Station.
The packet station, (PMS) aboard Mir appears to be in good shape, however, it has only been on the air for a few days during the whole month of July, and only 1 day in August. During one pass on August 7th at 10:40 UTC, packet from Mir was heard in Boston (145.550 MHz), but 1 hour later as Mir passed over N6JLH in California, the packet station on Mir was shut-down. Two days later, one of the crew was heard speaking Russian to someone in the USA. The crew seems only to be using the equipment during their "OFF" hours, and for a limited amount of time. It is hoped that when crew's work load eases up a bit, they will have more time/power to keep the station on line. The Mir crew sleeps from approximately 21:00 UTC till approximately 05:00 UTC (5pm-1am EST). Most of the Mir passes over the USA are during the sleeping period of the crew. Not much of an increase in Mir Amateur Radio activity is expected until the end of August. [Info via G. Miles Mann, WF1F]
Some issues relating to the Russian lease of the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan remain unresolved. According to a Kazakh Radio report monitored by the BBC on 10 August. Legal experts on both sides are unable to compromise on two issues, namely cooperation between Kazakh and Russian law-enforcement bodies in the zone of the rocket launch site and settlements for lease payments. Negotiations on the mechanism for implementing the 20-year lease with an annual rent of $115 million are to be wrapped up by the beginning of September. In mid-April Kazakhstan's president ratified the agreement by decree; Russia ratified it in early May.

Sheet metal fabrication involves manufacturing components by way of manipulating sheet metal. This is accomplished by first laser cutting or turret punching the material, precision metal forming, bending, and rolling of the sheet metal, and welding.
Tool and Design for Sheet Metal component. Sheet metal is simply metal formed into thin and flat pieces. It is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking and can be cut and bent into a variety of different shapes.
Stamping includes a variety of sheet-metal forming manufacturing processes, such as punching using a machine press or stamping press, blanking, embossing, bending, flanging, and coining. This could be a single stage operation where every stroke of the press produces the desired form on the sheet metal part, or could occur through a series of stages.

Just watched the Shuttle launch, on its way to the International Space Station to put on some new solar panel wings.
It was glorious.
There’s something about manned spaceflight that just makes my heart race in a way that simply doesn’t happen when the robots (much as I love the little guys) go off to explore Mars. That’s us up there, putting it on the line to go and expand our frontiers.
Brett Roberts found this lovely piece on the Tubes so I thought I’d share. It’s footage of the Apollo 11 launch with comments from Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins and other Apollo astronauts taken from the fabulous TV series ‘In the Shadow of the Moon’.
What always astonishes me is that in the forty years since we first stepped on the moon we’ve … stopped. The moon wasn’t the goal, it was the first stepping stone on to the rest of the universe (there’s a lot of it) and maybe as a first step it was a little too far (a space station makes more sense, intellectually speaking) but the passion, the emotion, the humanity of it as a goal is what set it apart from a scientific mission. The same reasoning (ha – lack of reason, I would say) that put us on the moon makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up whenever I watch a manned launch.
I want my girls to grow up in an ever expanding world, not one that’s static or, worse still, contracting. There’s a huge universe of opportunity out there – why don’t we grasp it with both hands! | aerospace |

AML3D announced today that Boeing had increased its order from AML3D announced in July from an initial $140,000 to $350,000, indicating positive results from the company’s supply of initial aerospace components.
AML3D supplied tooling components to Boeing in 2021, ‘aluminium test components’ in the initial $140,000 order, with Boeing now seeking ‘prototype components’.
Boeing inspected AML3D’s Adelaide factory, which manufactures its Arcemy 3D printers (pictured), in March and the company is seeking aerospace quality management system AS9100D:2016 accreditation.
The stock market reacted immediately with AML3D shares this morning jumping 25 percent to 10.5 cents.
AML3D managing director Andrew Sales said: “This expanded purchase contract with Boeing demonstrates the growing momentum in our commercial relationship with one of the world’s largest aerospace companies.
“AML3D has already demonstrated to Boeing that our proprietary WAM metal printing technology produces high quality parts on time and on specification.
“The expanded purchase contract…moves AML3D towards being embedded into Boeing’s supply chain.”
The company’s Arcemy printer has a significant advantage over other metal printers in that it utilises commonly used welding feedstock wire, obviating the need to get exotic metal powders approved for use. | aerospace |

The new next-generation weather radar system, the Honeywell IntuVue RDR-7000, uses automated technology; it will be used to upgrade the radar now on Coast Guard Jayhawk and Dolphin helicopters, replacing the current manual systems with fully automated tilt-and-gain controls.
With the current system, a pilot has to manually adjust the controls to direct the radar beam. The new automated system, which captures weather as far as 80 nm away, will be particularly valuable to Coast Guard crews on search-and-rescue missions that often take place during storms or severe weather conditions.
“So as you’re flying through the air, you have to tilt the radar so that you can pick up weather at various altitudes,” said Adam Gavrich, a senior sales manager at Honeywell. This creates a high workload for the pilots, he said, and “anything that causes the pilots to have to work harder and not focus on their primary flying tasks – that creates specific hazards.”
With the new system, the pilot just selects a weather mode and the radar captures all data automatically. All that data is then filtered through a 3D buffer that Gavrich says is “the entire volume of the sky” and then picks out the most important weather to display for the crew.
The new radar can detect hail and lightning five to ten minutes in advance, turbulence out to 60 nm.
The new RDR-7000 system gives pilots timely information that leads to faster and better-informed decisions to help them navigate through potential weather problems or flight safety threats. “It highly reduces the crew’s workload and gives them the best weather picture possible at all times,” Gavrich said. With the new system, “they don’t have to spend time operating the radar,” he said.
Honeywell will retrofit the Coast Guard’s entire fleet of Jayhawk and Dolphin helicopters with the new system over the next seven years. Read more: https://www.nationaldefensemagazine.org/articles/2023/4/24/new-radar-to-boost-coast-guard-search-rescue-missions | aerospace |

While many of us have had dreams about stuff like this, Dutch engineer Jarno Smeets takes things to the next level and actually does it. That’s right, he actually managed to flap his engineered wings and fly.
The Martin jetpack with a two-stroke custom gas engine is finally going to be available in 2012. The jetpack is classified as ultralight under FAA standards, so you won’t need a license either.

Fullerton Fire Department arrived at the fiery crash site, after reports of a blaze around 7:50 p.m., at 4011 W Commonwealth Ave., officials said.
The aircraft was a twin-engine six seater plane that apparently was said to be taking off for Utah.
The plane was traveling 50 feet above the ground at a speed of about 80 mph, when witnesses said it took a sharp left turn that forced It to impact the ground, immediately causing a blaze upon the tarmac of the airport.
According to Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor, the pilot was the only passenger on board.
All that is known about the pilot currently is that he was a male around 50 years of age.
The crash is still under investigation. | aerospace |

The deceased pilots were said to be on training session at NAF base in Kaduna when the incident happened.
This was happening less than one year after a NAF aircraft crashed in Kaduna.
The incident, which occurred in May 2021, involved a Beechcraft 350, and the aircraft crashed around the Kaduna international airport.
A former Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru and 10 other military officers who were on board when the plane crashed, were killed.
Attahiru was said to be on his way to Kaduna to attend a passing-out parade for army recruits
The latest incident in Kaduna makes it five air crashes involving Nigerian military planes in the last 12 months
Also an air force Alphajet had crashed in Zamfara State last year after an intense fire from bandits. Although, the pilot survived by ejecting from the aircraft.
In April 2021 a Nigerian Air force fighter jet was declared missing and suspected to have crashed. While Boko Haram claimed to have shot it down, the military denied the claim.
Air Force spokesman, Edward Gabkwet, later admitted the crash occurred as the Alpha jet, a light attack aircraft, was returning to base from a mission on the Zamfara-Kaduna border. | aerospace |

The business aircraft industry has always been a leader in developing ideas and technology that increase the safety and efficiency of the aircraft it operates. From better crew training and cockpit awareness, to advanced avionics and safety management systems; our industry strives to continuously improve. Aircraft records and recordkeeping is one of the last frontiers to receive this kind of focus from our industry. But better aircraft records and recordkeeping will mean safer aircraft, more efficient aircraft operations, a greater professional image of the people maintaining these aircraft, and an even greater professional image of the industry itself.
Why aircraft records are important to Aircraft Operators and MROs
Quality and performance are paramount to both aircraft operators and maintenance organizations alike. However, quality and performance features require quality people to do the work. To attract these kinds of people in numbers sufficient to satisfy the growing demands of our industry, we must be able to provide both a competitive wage (compared to other industries) and an attractive work environment. Better aircraft records and recordkeeping will not only bring increased efficiency to our industry, it will reduce the cost of the maintenance and operations of our aircraft allowing us to be competitive.
Why aircraft records are important to Aircraft Owners and Maintenance Professionals
Comprehensive and organized records reflect a more attractive, higher perceived value of an aircraft and the maintenance professionals who create and maintain the aircraft’s records. History demonstrates that this greater perceived value most often equates to an increase in real monetary value. | aerospace |

It is also a lot of fun to fly the drone. The distance of the fpv goggles could be a bit more than it is now. Maybe this is a hint to be developped in the furlture.
Really enjoy using this fpv kit. Ready to fly out of the box. Had an accident and broke the vtx. Their after sales customer service assisted me all the way till my drone was fixed. Excellent customer service too! Thank you Antony!
It is really 'ready to fly'.
It is really good at home. Keeps height and position enough stable. By the way, it has a lot of sensors. Laser height sensor, optical control, barometer and magnetometer.
The only disadvantage - rc does not work with AMD pc, but it is possible to workaround it by downgrading rc software to previous one (and update elrs at drone to 2.5.2)
It has an nice fly, i love it
My 13 year old likes it a lot. It’s snowy here so he hasn’t used it outside much yet. | aerospace |

Bengaluru (India), 13 June – The first rocket built by a consortium of private firms in the country is set for launch by 2020.
If successful, this would increase capacity to hurl small satellites into space, meeting both local demand and serving global customers such as OneWeb.
Till now, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) was the only manufacturer of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). In the two decades since its debut launch, PSLVs have done 35 flights, hurling 86 satellites – including 45 foreign, small and medium satellites – into space.
Isro built this rocket by integrating components and systems made by Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), Larsen & Toubro, Godrej Aerospace, Avasarala Technologies and Walchandnagar Industries.
However, Isro has been able to scale up production only up to a limit – it has the capacity to launch six PSLVs a year, compared to two a few years earlier.
In the meanwhile, local demand for satellites – for scientific purposes, remote-sensing and observation and planetary missions – is increasing. There is a backlog of 23 foreign satellites.
There are also opportunities from global firms that plan to launch satellites. US-based OneWeb, in which Bharti Airtel has invested, plans to hurl 648 satellites on low-earth orbits to bring internet access to rural areas. Last year, Spire became the first US firm to send satellites on an Indian rocket.
To tap this growing business, Isro has been engaging with HAL, Godrej, L&T and other suppliers to build a consortium so that they can make the rocket. Isro would then be free to focus on innovations and missions.
With the private consortium manufacturing PSLVs, Isro expects to triple annual launches to 18 a year. It also hopes to sell services globally and get more business to build satellites and launch them from Indian shores.
“If you are able to build on top of what we’ve built… and make it more attractive, there is a possibility that the Indian industry can also gain in this global opportunity,” said Isro Chairman A S Kiran Kumar.
Competition & meeting it head on
Isro’s move to engage the industry also comes at a time when there is a global race to bring down the cost of access to space.
SpaceX, a privately space faring company founded by Elon Musk, and Blue Origin, a rocket firm owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, have demonstrated capabilities for a reusable rocket.
This would bring down costs to transport satellites to space as a few stages could be reused instead of dispensing the entire rocket, a practice that is adopted traditionally.
SpaceX, which plans to commercialise its Falcon 9 rocket in 2018, has listed a price of $62 million to launch a 5.5-tonne communication satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO), 36,000 km in space. It could also take manned missions.
This will be a third cheaper than the current launch cost of Arianespace, the European space agency.
At present, Isro has a rocket – geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle (GSLV) – that can carry as much as 2.5 tonnes to GTO. It is building a heavier rocket – GSLV MkIII, which will eventually carry six-tonne satellites.
Now, a GSLV costs around Rs 220 crore to hurl a 2.5-tonne satellite into space, which is almost the same as SpaceX would charge.
Isro is concerned about the shift in competition from large government-run agencies with their bureaucracy and long timelines to nimble privately held space faring companies.
“There are lot of private entities that are getting into space, in the US or Europe. Now, what happens when they start operating is that they’re continuously looking at how the cost can be brought down,” said Isro Chairman Kumar.
For this, Isro is working on new products. Its success in sending a prototype of the unmanned reusable launch vehicle (RLV) is giving it a bigger and faster push to realise a full-fledged vehicle in a decade.
It is building a semi-cryogenic engine – that uses liquefied oxygen and kerosene, which can be handled more easily and cost effectively for its GSLV MkIII rocket to bring down costs.
“In terms of satellites, a large number of smaller ones are coming out, and they also require launch opportunities which others have not been able to provide and we have been able to provide. So you need to leverage that, but then you also need to make sure that you continue to improve your ability to provide solutions at a contemporary and a competitive price,” said Kumar.
He added: “So that is where our RLV-type of things comes into the picture where you need to ensure that the cost of access to space, you are able to bring down and be competitive in the coming days.”
