The design was spearheaded by Robert Noorduyn and based on conventional Fokker designs. The mixed-material construction featured a welded steel tube frame for the fuselage and tail surfaces that were covered in fabric as well as a large wing constructed of wood with a wingspan of 50 ft 8 in, mounted above the fuselage. Although the overall design was quite "clean," all cables, horns and attachments were mounted externally, adding considerably to the drag.
Built in the late 1920s, the Super Universal, like its predecessor, the Universal, was a single engine, high wing monoplane, intended for service as a six-seat airliner. Robert Noorduyn, who would next design the Norseman, played an important role in the Super Universal's development. The airframe was enlarged and strengthened, and much to the pilot's appreciation, the cockpit enclosed.
in 1928, by three Fokker Super Universals, including NC6880, were purchased by National Parks Airways new from the Atlantic Aircraft Corporation. NC6880 was sold to the Jellison FS on 06.16.28. The Jellison FS subsequently sold the aircraft to Western Air Express in November 1937.
A particularly noteworthy Super Universal was that the "Virginia," the first Super Universal from the production series, was used by Richard E. Byrd on his Antarctic expedition of 1928. This aircraft was damaged after being turned over in a strong wind and was abandoned by Byrd, although he revisited it on a subsequent expedition to salvage the engine and other components. It was rediscovered by a New Zealand expedition in 1987.
The Fokker Super Universal was powered by one 317kW Pratt & Whitney Wasp radial piston engine, its take off weight was 5269 lb, max speed 118 mph, and its range was 675 miles.
Fokker Super Universal CF-AAM, which was reconstructed using the parts of four wrecked airplanes, is on display at the Western Canada Air Museum.

There are two of these in the Wrath of Angels boxed set. These are the painted versions on the GW website.
There are two models on the single sprue you get in the Wrath of Angels boxed set.
If you buy them as the individual boxed set you also only get two, which makes it maybe better value to buy a second Wrath of Angels boxed set.
I have been spending some time putting the models together.
These were a little complicated to put together, but I got there in the end.

Fans of rockets heading into space will soon not have to drive across the country to witness a launch into space and maybe even take a ride.
According to FOX 17, a new facility located in Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport in Iosco County will be launching rockets and offering rides to tourists in sub orbital space.
The executive director of MAMA, Gavin Brown said, "this is an exciting next step in the process of developing Michigan's ecosystem of space technology. While much work lies ahead, we are pleased to share these initial results from our due diligence. Such a facility would solidify Michigan's leadership role in the aerospace and defense industry while becoming an important economic catalyst."
The state of Michigan has granted $2 million to help develop the launch site in the state as well as possible other locations.
The facility is estimated at having a $3.2 trillion impact on the economy and this will lead to lots of jobs for the state of Michigan.
Oscoda Wurtsmith Airport was one of 8 airports that were looked at across the state.
The FAA will still need to approve the site. | aerospace |

The common sense senator further lamented that religious pilgrims had easier access to forex at subsidized rates, while airline operators and local manufacturers had to source for forex at the parallel market.
He stressed that if the problem of access to forex for airline operators was not resolved soon, it would lead to mishaps and accidents.

Check the article here.
They were once the symbol of technical progress, the future of mobility and aviation. Long before the airplanes, it was airships and zeppelins that connected people across borders and oceans. But unfortunate catastrophes ended the age of the floating giants. Now they could – again – come back.
From Michael Förtsch
It was a construction that seems quite elegant to this day. In 1852 the French inventor Henri Giffard designed a fascinating aircraft. It consisted of a cigar-shaped balloon that was covered with a dense net, making it the first impact airship. A small gondola, which was equipped with a three-horsepower steam engine and propeller, hung from it. On September 24, 1852, Giffard boarded the vehicle, christened Giffard 1, and made a maiden flight. He covered a total of 27 kilometers at an altitude of up to 1,800 meters and a speed of at least 9 kilometers per hour. With this, Henri Giffard had built the first functioning airship – and thus developed a real technology of the future.
Only 50 years later, airships were on several routes in Germany and other countries. In particular, the modern rigid airships, in which not only a gondola hangs under a gas-filled envelope. Instead, they had a shell structure made of lattice frames stretched over them. Parts of it were intended for the propellant, others for passengers and crew. The ships, which length ware between 130 and 160 meters, transported people and cargo. From 1919 onwards, airships also linked the European and American continents. The British airship R34 only needed 108 hours for the outward flight and 75 hours for the return flight. Even modern transport ships on the water are no faster.
In the first half of the 20th century, airships became the ultimate air vehicle. They were luxury and transportation flying machines. Cities were equipped with landing pads and anchor masts, when larger and larger airships were planned. At least until their era ended abruptly – with the explosion of the LZ 129, the Hindenburg. When the airship was about to land on May 6, 1937 in Lakehurst, New Jersey, its hydrogen filling ignited. The ship went up in flames and 35 people died. It wasn’t the first airship disaster, nor the worst – by no means. But it was the first to be captured on film and broadcast live on the radio. Confidence in the safety of the airships was suddenly gone – and gradually the giants of the sky disappeared.
Almost a century has passed since the Hindenburg disaster. Nowadays, airships are curiosities and attractions. If one flies in the sky, that’s a special feature that makes people look up and pull out their smartphones. But it seems as if the airships could now – after a comeback attempt with the cargo lifters failed 20 years ago – actually return and experience their renaissance. Work has been going on for almost twelve years in a large hangar in Bedford, UK, to herald this return. Because the Airlander 10 is being built there by a company called Hybrid Air Vehicles. It is intended to “rethink the sky”, says Tom Grundy, head of Hybrid Air Vehicles. “We are building a modern airship that combines the best elements of the known airships with new methods and considerations.”
The development of the Airlander 10 began as a military project. With the HAV 304, Hybrid Air Vehicles was to develop an airship for the US military for multi-day reconnaissance and espionage missions. The prototype of the modern hybrid airship was planned and built with it. In other words, an airship that provides lift with both lighter-than-air gas and an aerodynamically shaped body and propellers. Its shell was made of high-tech materials such as Kevlar and Vectren, which made it airtight and stable, so that even when it is not filled with gas, it retains its shape without a support structure. Despite a successful flight of the prototype, the project was discontinued by the US military in 2012. Therefore, the founders of Hybrid Air Vehicles decided to reschedule the HAV 304 – for civil use as the Airlander 10.
The engineers believe that a modern airship is not only feasible but also makes sense. Above all in the face of climate change and stricter emissions and environmental protection requirements. The 92-meter-long ship should be able to transport up to ten tons and cover around 7,400 kilometers in one go. And not just with cargo loads, but also with passengers. Up to 100 people should find space in the big belly of the Airlander 10. It could be used precisely on the much-criticized routes, says HAV founder Tom Grundy, which aircraft usually cover short-haul routes.
According to Grundy, routes such as Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca could also be covered with an Airlander instead of by plane. Instead of 50 minutes, the flight would take around four and a half hours. But there would also be a lot of the typical airport hype and the CO-2 footprint per passenger would be reduced from 54 kilograms to just 4.5 kilograms. Other routes that Hybrid Air Vehicles has already balanced are Liverpool to Belfast, Oslo to Stockholm and Seattle to Vancouver. The Airlander could also fly in Germany. “[The Airlander 10] is not a luxury product, it is a practical solution to the challenges of the climate crisis,” says Grundy. And one that is already a reality.
The Airlander 10 flies as a prototype and has already been approved by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency. The first series copies should take off in 2025. Its four propellers are to be driven by a diesel engine each. A fully electric version of the Airlander 10 is already being planned. Their carbon footprint should then be even smaller.
The solution for everything?
Gennadiy Verba shares the dreams of the Airlander developers. He is also working to bring airships back into people’s everyday lives. “It’s a great technology,” he says in an interview with 1E9. “And it deserves a better future, more attention and more dissemination.” That is why he started Atlas LTA in 2016, based in Rosh Ha’Ayin, Israel. “It’s what I do,” he says. “I’ve been doing this for 35 years. Almost all of my life. ” He was building an airship in the former Soviet Union. Then in the USA, where he and a school friend founded Worldwide Aeros, which today mainly produces driverless airships as flying radio beacons, advertising panels and monitoring stations.
With Atlas LTA, Verba wants to build a family of impact airships with gondolas by 2029, as they can be seen every now and then in summer on sightseeing flights over Germany. They should be up to 72 meters long, hold up to 24 passengers and be hybrid or purely electric, the first of which is expected to make its maiden flight in two years. Basically, these airships would be small buses or S-Bahn wagons on a large balloon. They will initially be used as a tourist attraction. Be it for tours over Jerusalem, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Mallorca or past Neuschwanstein Castle. That is simply the best way to familiarize people with airships again. “Airships currently exist in a niche that needs to be filled,” says Verba. “But over time this niche will grow.”
Verba does not believe that the airships will make classic scheduled flights superfluous. “We don’t want to compete with the railways either. I believe that large aircraft are very effective over long distances,” says the engineer. Using an airship between Berlin and Hamburg, where there is a fast train connection, is therefore nonsense. But the airships could connect regions to the world of transport that have so far been poorly connected or can only be reached with many transfers. “That would be rural regions, villages in nowhere that have little or no infrastructure,” he says. “Or islands and metropolises divided by the sea, which otherwise can only be crossed by ferries.”
He doesn’t necessarily see the small Atlas Electric Airships flying to them, but rather an ATLANT: a hybrid airship planned in three large sizes similar to the Airlander 10, which is currently in the research and development phase at Atlas. It is to be manufactured with a solid outer shell and the large, around 200-meter-long version will lift up to 165 tons. Transporting well over 100 passengers would not be a problem. “From Berlin to London or from Berlin to Stockholm directly across the water,” he says. “That wouldn’t be a problem and it would be more effective than an airplane.” With a corresponding luxury upgrade, an ATLANT could also replace many cruise ships, and carry passengers over unique routes across the North Pole and exotic islands, just at a greater height. The actual purpose, says Gennadiy Verba, is far less chic, but more useful: heavy transport.
Big ships for big loads
There are no strict limits to the design of airships. They can be small, but also huge. And the bigger they are, the more gas they can hold, the more they can tow. And that makes them real transport machines. With the Airlander 50, Hybrid Air Vehicles is already designing a variant of its airship that is supposed to carry up to 50 tons. In addition, the French start-up Flying Whales is currently working on a 60-ton ship that is designed based on the classic rigid airship. And the very secretive US company LTA Research, which is financed by Google founder Sergey Brin, is researching in this direction. Be it large loads of postal parcels that must be brought across bodies of water. Or vehicles and machinery for mining companies and aid organizations that work far away in otherwise inaccessible regions in the North American wilderness or in villages in African countries. Such airships would be ideal for this.
The largest currently planned variant of Atlas Airships ATLANT should even be able to lift up to 165 tons and, thanks to its flat shell construction, even land on water. “We don’t need much,” says Gennadiy Verba. “A little space is enough to touch down.” Such modern and strong hybrid airships can still land even if airports are destroyed by floods or an earthquake, for example. This should allow dozens of emergency shelters to be safely transported in the event of a disaster. But also, extremely bulky loads that otherwise only get through the streets very slowly and with a great deal of planning: the wings of large wind turbines, steel girders for high-rise structures and rocket steps, for example, which could also be lowered or set up in the assembly position with the safely floating colossus.
According to the airship manufacturer Verba, the fact that an airship may be slower than more traditional means of transport is of no importance. “It doesn’t really matter whether we need longer if we can transport large loads more cheaply and further than a helicopter or an airplane,” he says. “That is a gigantic niche.” This is exactly the opinion of Sergei Bendin, who heads the Russian airship manufacturer Airship Initiative Design Bureau Aerosmena. He is working on a variant of airships that is as unusual as it is strong, which was invented by engineer Orfey Kozlov, who died of the coronavirus in summer 2020.
The aerosmena should be circular and thus remind of flying saucers. An idea that can be traced back to an airship project called Locomosky, once financed by the oil and gas giant Gazprom, to research efforts by Soviet scientists called Thermoplan at the Moscow Aviation Institute. For the latter, “airships for use in Siberia, which is difficult to access and tormented by unstable weather,” should be designed, as Bendin says.
“The saucer shape [developed by the researchers] makes it possible to minimize the sideways twisting of the airship,” explains Bendin in an interview with 1E9. In addition, the airship can be “ballasted more effectively” with this form and can reach up to 250 kilometers per hour. The saucers, which are only partially equipped with a solid cover, will eventually float in four different sizes from Russian construction halls. The smallest should be able to carry up to 20 tons, while the largest 600 tons – be it freight or people. Helium and air heated to 200 degrees Celsius are supposed to provide buoyancy.
According to Sergei Bendin, the research and development work is almost complete. And with a suitable donor, a first 20- and perhaps also a 60-ton model of the UFO airships could take off between 2024 and 2025. There are already enough potential customers for this. “The demand for such aircraft is quite high both in Russia and in the world,” says Bendin. The company is already receiving inquiries from large international companies who, for example, have to regularly deliver heavy and bulky equipment to oil drilling platforms, the transport of which is difficult and very expensive, even with cargo helicopters.
There are sensible and effective ways to use airships in all corners of the world. Big and small. According to Sergei Bendin, the fact that this has not happened so far has to do with a lack of imagination and a willingness to innovate. Airplanes and helicopters would simply be accepted as a given reality of air traffic – as would airfields as places where air traffic takes place. But not airships. In the future, however, airship designers could show that airships are a possibility and an alternative that is entirely justified, especially when it comes to cargo transport. That way, they could “define their role and find a place,” says Bendin. In particular, they could prove to be an economically logical solution for modern aviation. If that works, we could experience the renaissance of “a new generation of airships” by the end of the decade.
Not only the simple logical purposes, their cheap operation and their effectiveness could bring the airships back into the air. But also, climate change as a generation challenge and the pure necessity of lower-emission air traffic. And not only on short routes, where airplanes make little sense, or no airports exist. Scientists at least believe that it is also on the routes that large cargo ships have been using so far. In a 2019 study, an international team of researchers suggested directing airships into the lower reaches of the jet stream, bands of strong winds that orbit the earth in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. The airships would simply be dragged along at heights of ten to 20 kilometers by the strong winds of 160 kilometers per hour and could transport cargo “with less fuel and shorter travel times compared to conventional shipping”.
There are numerous routes that can be completed in astonishingly short periods of time. This also includes city-to-city connections: In the northern hemisphere, the Streamjet could fly directly to Tokyo, Beijing, Istanbul, Lisbon and Washington. “A circumnavigation of the world would take 16 days in the northern hemisphere and 14 days in the southern hemisphere,” the researchers said. In comparison with similar flight and ship connections, the greenhouse gas emissions from an airship would be negligible – and the costs would also be significantly lower. Because energy would almost only have to be used to navigate in and out of the jet stream.
However, the researchers do not see small airships like the ATLANT or the UFO ships from Aerosmena on such routes, but rather absurdly gigantic giants: airships that measure over 2.4 kilometers and carry up to 20,000 tons. The giant ships would have to be filled with hydrogen, which would have to be generated cheaply and completely with renewable energies. That would also be much safer than it was during the Hindenburg era. Modern envelopes protect the gas better and prevent electrical charges in the air. In addition, modern additives make the gas significantly less flammable. Of course, even a modern hydrogen airship would not be entirely without risk. Therefore, the cargo airships could fly autonomously and without a crew. Other cargoes such as helium could be used for passenger ships. Technically speaking, there is nothing against this vision of the future, argue the researchers but also airship designers.
Gennadiy Verba is also convinced that comprehensive climate and environmental protection in harmony with cheap transport and travel options may also need such large airships in the long term to be accessible. “That’s the only way: bigger airships,” he says. However, “the industry has not yet grown up enough” to deliver such titans. “The modern airship industry is young,” he explains. Research has to be done to develop technologies and concepts that make larger airships possible – or simply better airships. The current projects and vehicles would only be a first step on a long way to bring the airships back into aviation. “Airships are no longer an old technology, they are a new technology again today,” says Verba. “But if they are successful (as a new technology), that will be good for all of us.” | aerospace |

Contactless UT RFID
Wireless and Non-Destructive (WAND) system, consists of two parts – a compact, battery-free sensor and a handheld probe. The sensor is entirely passive and can be permanently installed onto a structure.
The lightweight probe powers up the sensor by non-contact inductive coupling when it is brought nearby (even if the patch is under material). The sensor then sends out an ultrasonic wave into the structure and detects the received signal.
This is then transmitted back wirelessly to the probe where the signal is analysed. For our internal corrosion system, the analysed signal provides structural thickness.

The carrier’s election as a oneworld member designate was announced last week in New York as the chief executives of the alliance’s 13 current member airlines gathered for their year-end Governing Board meeting, just weeks before the alliance celebrates the 20th anniversary of its launch in February 1999.
Royal Air Maroc is expected to join oneworld in mid-2020, with its regional subsidiary Royal Air Maroc Express joining as a oneworld affiliate member at the same time.
Royal Air Maroc will be oneworld’s first full member from Africa and the alliance’s first new full member airline for six years.
Royal Air Maroc’s schedule will add 34 new destinations and 21 countries to the oneworld map, taking the alliance’s network to 1,069 airports in 178 countries and territories, the alliance said.
Alan Joyce, Group CEO of Qantas and oneworld Governing Board Chairman, said: “We’re pleased to welcome Royal Air Maroc to oneworld. Africa is the last major region where oneworld does not have a full member airline and has one of the fastest predicted air travel growth rates over the next few decades. Royal Air Maroc will deliver greater value for more customers worldwide as we expand our alliance network to a new region.”
Rob Gurney, oneworld CEO, said: “Royal Air Maroc is growing into a truly global airline, with its home base Casablanca to be developed into Africa’s leading aviation gateway while also consolidating its place as Africa’s number one financial centre.”
Royal Air Maroc CEO Abdelhamid Addou said: “This undoubtedly represents one of the most significant landmarks in our airline’s 60-year history and on our journey to establish Royal Air Maroc as the leading airline of Africa.” | aerospace |

SURPRISED ????? Yes, I can imagine what you were thinking. First of all - an Air Force Base????? Oklahoma ?????? Right in the middle of the United States....They don't connect to the Navy for obvious reasons. But hold on, as I am going to tell you about the Navy and Tinker AFB, OK . TACAMO is a Navy Air Wing fully integrated on an Air Force Base, carrying out missions in joint operations with the Air Force. On October 1, 1998 - the U.S Navy's fleet of E-6Bs replaced the EC-135s in performing the "Looking Glass" mission flown for over 29 years by the U.S Air Force. This new mission carries a battle staff that now flies with the TACAMO crew. TACAMO commands moved from six different homeports to a central location: TINKER AFB, OK. The result is a 25 percent reduction on operations and personnel expenses. Over 1300 active duty sailors, 100 contractors and 5 DOD civilians work out of Tinker AFB, OK to accomplish the TACAMO mission. These dedicated Sailors and Civilians working together as a team to provide logistic support for the Navy's E-6B Mercury aircraft fleet. These Sailors maintain around the clock alert operations requiring tremendous dedication, effort and many sacrifices. We appreciate your dedication and thank you for your service. *** WELCOME TO TINKER AFB, OK ***

- Fix winged models to take off from the designated runways only. This includes models being hand launched.
- Helicopter and drone pilots to use the middle of runway marked by white X.
- No other models permitted to fly whilst a helicopter or drone is operating.
- Pilots intending to take-off must ensure the approach path to runway is clear, and announce their intention to take-off to all pilots flying, before moving onto the runway.
- Pilots intending to land must announce their intention to land to other pilots flying.
- Aircraft landing will automatically have priority over those taking-off.
- Emergency or “Dead Stick” landings must be announced in a loud voice and will have priority over all other aircraft operations.
- Pilots may stand on the runway for the purpose of taking off, but then must move to designated piloting area. (A minimum of three meters from runway edge.)
- A pilot must always be between his air born model and other people at the field.
- No flying is allowed over pits, club shelter, and car park/spectator areas, irrespective of wind direction.
- No flying permitted over the private residence on the Western side of the airfield. This includes the landing approach and take off.
- Pilots to avoid flying through the sun.
- No low “beat-ups” are permitted towards the car park, spectator and pit areas, and must be no nearer than the far side of the runway.
- If there is more than one model in the circuit at a time, only one the circuit direction, either left or right hand, depending on the wind direction must be maintained by all pilots. If a wind shift is experienced, then by prior agreement between pilots, the circuit changes into the prevailing wind.
- Pilots are to schedule their flying slots to ensure that there are no more than 4 models are airborne at any given time.
- Staring off engines is not permitted on the runway whilst other aircraft are in the air. Models must be returned to the pit area.

The SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk is now available worldwide.
The SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk is the first watch ever designed specifically for use in outer space. Now a commemorative edition is available through selected SEIKO retail outlets across the world.
The Commemorative limited Edition SEIKO Spring Drive Spacewalk
First presented at Baselworld 2008, this remarkable watch was first used in October 2008 when the private space adventurer, Richard Garriott, took it into space on his mission to the International Space Station (ISS). It had been built expressly for his space flight and was designed to withstand the extreme temperatures, pressures and radiation conditions involved in an Extra-vehicular Activity (EVA), or spacewalk. It performed flawlessly throughout Richard’s 12-day flight in space. Subsequently, in December 2008, two Spring Drive Spacewalk watches were worn by a Russian cosmonaut throughout a 5-hour-38-minute EVA. During the EVA, both the time of day and chronograph functions worked perfectly, even when worn on the outside of the space suit. On their return to Earth, the watches were studied, assessed and tested at Seiko Epson’s facility, and their perfect performance during the EVA was independently verified.
It had always been Richard Garriott’s aim that the watch would help generate awareness of, and interest in, the future potential of space exploration. For this reason, one of the two watches Richard had taken into space was sold at a much-publicized auction in New York in September 2009 for US$45,600, a remarkable premium over the reserve price. SEIKO ‘s proceeds were donated to the two charities that Richard supports: the Nature Conservancy and the Challenger Center for Space Science Education.
Now a commemorative limited edition of this remarkable watch is available to the public. Just 100 pieces are being produced. The first ones were released in February 2010. This new watch has the exact same specifications as the watch which went into space with one adaptation: a screw-in crown is used. To ensure ease of manual winding, the crown on the original was not a screw-in; however, the perfect functioning of the watch, both inside and outside the ISS, revealed that the self-winding mechanism worked flawlessly in space, so a screw-in crown is now used in the commemorative edition to enhance the overall security of the case. The watch has a ballistic nylon strap. An additional elastic nylon strap, which is exactly the same as the one used in space, is included in the special presentation box. The serial number is engraved on the case back.
The watch is presented on a ballistic nylon strap.
Also provided is an elastic strap, which is the same as the one used in space.

Geographically, Ireland is the closest destination you can reach when flying in from the United Sates to Europe. The national airline is Aer Lingus, while other companies that will take you to the Emerald Isle include United Airlines, American Airlines, Lufthansa, and US Airways.What airline flies to Iceland?
A variety of airlines fly direct to Iceland from the UK, including low-cost airlines such as easyJet, Norwegian Air and WOW, and most flights land at Keflavik Airport (KEF). British Airways and Icelandair both fly from London Heathrow (HTR) while Icelandair, Norwegian Air, WOW and easyJet run the London Gatwick (LGW) to Iceland route.Is Icelandair a good airline?
Icelandair is a solid, safe airline. If you are a worried flyer, I would have no fears flying on Icelandair. They are solid and their record reflects that. They are every bit as good (if not better)in terms of safety as Delta/Continental/United. | aerospace |

Previous within the week, the rotorcraft had neglected a deliberate communications consultation with the rover – for the primary time in over a yr of operations at the Mars floor. Ingenuity depends on Perseverance as the bottom station that permits it to ship information to and obtain instructions from Earth. Whilst extra information downlinks and research are wanted, the Ingenuity and Perseverance groups imagine they have got made up our minds a reason for the ambiguity in addition to a plan to go back to customary operations.
Ingenuity changed into the first powered airplane to perform on some other international on April 19, 2021. Designed to accomplish as much as 5 experimental check flights over a span of 30 Martian days (sols), or just about 31 Earth days, the rotorcraft has flown over 4.2 miles (6.9 kilometers) throughout 28 sorties and operated from the outside of the Crimson Planet for over a yr.
Knowledge downlinked signifies that the communications dropout on Would possibly 3, Sol 427 of the Perseverance rover’s project at Mars, used to be a results of the solar-powered helicopter getting into a low-power state, probably because of the seasonal building up within the quantity of mud within the Martian environment and decrease temperatures as wintry weather approaches. The mud diminishes the volume of daylight hitting the photo voltaic array, lowering Ingenuity’s skill to recharge its six lithium-ion batteries. When the battery pack’s state of fee dropped underneath a decrease prohibit, the helicopter’s field-programmable gate array (FPGA) used to be powered down.
The FPGA manages Ingenuity’s operational state, switching the opposite avionics components off and on as had to maximize continual conservation. It additionally operates the warmers that allow the helicopter to live on frigid Martian nights, maintains exact spacecraft time, and controls when the helicopter is scheduled to get up for communications classes with Perseverance.
When the FPGA misplaced continual all over the Martian night time, the helicopter’s onboard clock – which designates the time that communications with Perseverance happen – reset. And Ingenuity’s warmers, so important to protecting electronics and different elements inside of operational temperatures – grew to become off. When the Solar rose the following morning and the photo voltaic array started to fee the batteries, the helicopter’s clock used to be now not in sync with the clock aboard the rover. Necessarily, when Ingenuity concept it used to be time to touch Perseverance, the rover’s base station wasn’t listening.
To verify Perseverance would pay attention a decision, Perseverance project controllers at JPL commanded the rover to spend nearly all of Sol 429 (Would possibly 5) listening for the helicopter’s sign. It got here at 11:45 a.m. native Mars time. The information transmitted used to be restricted to intentionally maintain battery fee, however the helicopter’s essential well being and protection information had been nominal. The radio hyperlink between Ingenuity and Perseverance used to be strong, spacecraft temperatures had been inside of expectation, the photo voltaic array used to be recharging the battery at a fee anticipated for this season, and the battery used to be wholesome, containing 41% of a complete fee.
However one radio communications consultation does now not imply Ingenuity is out of the woods. The greater (light-reducing) mud within the air approach charging the helicopter’s batteries to a degree that can permit essential elements (just like the clock and warmers) to stay energized during the night time items a vital problem.
Each and every night time for the previous 3 sols, Ingenuity’s warmers have kicked in when its battery temperature used to be underneath 5 levels Fahrenheit (minus 15 levels Celsius). Whilst on, the warmers stored the temperature of important helicopter elements from shedding farther – right down to the ambient environmental temperature of minus 112 levels Fahrenheit (minus 80 levels Celsius). However the crew believes that the battery couldn’t maintain the power draw of the onboard warmers during the night time.
“We’ve got all the time identified that Martian wintry weather and mud typhoon season would provide new demanding situations for Ingenuity, particularly less warm sols, an building up in atmospheric mud, and extra common mud storms,” mentioned Ingenuity Workforce Lead Teddy Tzanetos of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Each flight and each and every mile of distance flown past our authentic 30-sol project has driven the spacecraft to its limits every sol on Mars.”
The Ingenuity and Perseverance groups have designed a plan they hope will make a distinction. Their purpose is to lend a hand the helicopter’s battery gather sufficient of a fee all over the following couple of sols in order that it will improve all vital spacecraft programs all over the chilly Martian night time. Uplinked the day prior to this, the brand new instructions decrease the purpose at which the helicopter energizes its warmers from when the battery falls underneath 5 levels Fahrenheit (minus 15 levels Celsius) to minus 40 levels Fahrenheit (minus 40 levels Celsius). The helicopter then shuts down temporarily, quite than eating the battery fee with the warmers. The crew hopes this technique will permit the battery to retain no matter fee it gathered all over the day. The Ingenuity engineers hope that once a number of days of the helicopter’s array soaking within the restricted rays, the battery can have reached some degree the place the spacecraft can go back to customary operations.
Permitting the warmers to stay off in a single day will preserve vital battery power however may even reveal elements to the chilly of Martian night time. Evolved as a generation demonstration to turn out that powered, managed flight on Mars is conceivable, the 4-pound (1.8-kilogram) rotorcraft carries many industrial off-the-shelf portions that weren’t designed for the chilly of deep area operations.
“Our best precedence is to care for communications with Ingenuity in the following couple of sols, however even then, we all know that there shall be vital demanding situations forward,” mentioned Tzanetos. “I may just now not be prouder of our crew’s efficiency during the last yr, let on my own our airplane’s improbable achievements on Mars. We’re hopeful that we will gather battery fee with the intention to go back to nominal operations and proceed our project into the weeks forward.” | aerospace |

One of them returned in a poorly condition after having a head on collision with a bird and the nose cone was badly damaged. Fortunately, the nice Americans had a workshop that could cope with composite repairs and we got it patched up... they did an excellent job... but they didn't have the right colour paint. Seeing as the paint was the wrong colour, the repair was non standard and the nose cone would be replaced when we could get the spares, I got the opportunity to paint something nice:

November 25, 2013 at 5:22 AM (PT)
Congratulations to CONNOISSEUR MEDIA/WICHITA PD PAT JAMES who had Adult Hits KIBB (BOB FM 97.1) tied into a story that made national news. JAMES explains, "one of the world's largest cargo planes, a BOEING Dream Lifter, landed in WICHITA. This is not news usually, as the Dream Lifter lands here regularly at MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE carrying fuselage for brand new BOEING jets. What made today unique was the fact the plane landed instead at a very small airport 6 miles away -- by mistake. A BIG mistake."
JAMES continues, "The mishap happened last night (11/20) at 9:30p, it was fodder for our radio shows all morning, as the heavy jet sat there next to one of our major interstates for all commuters to see, while they figured out how to get the plane turned around and off the ground. (The runway is considered 3000 feet too short for a plane of this size.) At our 9:30 jock meeting, we hatched the idea for a FACEBOOK post, which quickly grew to a Billboard idea. FUN radio, fast turnaround, topical and LOCAL." | aerospace |

John Grant / Boeing
Boeing is further delaying the first crewed launch of its Starliner spacecraft after discovering additional issues with the capsule, the company announced alongside NASA on Thursday.
The Starliner crew flight test was most recently scheduled for July 21 and was due to carry a pair of NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. Boeing discovered two new problems with Starliner: one affecting the safety of its parachute systems and another involving a specific tape that was discovered to be flammable.
“We’ve decided to stand down the preparation for the CFT mission in order to correct these problems,” Boeing VP and Starliner manager Mark Nappi said during a press conference.
Nappi noted that the discussion to delay the launch went to “the top levels of Boeing,” with CEO Dave Calhoun involved.
The delay is the latest in a series of disruptions for Starliner’s first crewed flight. The July timeline was itself a delay from a previous target of April. A new flight target is pending, NASA and Boeing said on Thursday.
The company has been developing its Starliner spacecraft under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, having won nearly $5 billion in contracts to build the capsule. Boeing’s program competes with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which is poised to finish all six of its originally contracted NASA missions before Boeing flies its first.
Boeing was once seen as evenly matched with SpaceX in the race to launch NASA astronauts, but fell behind due to development setbacks.
As a result of those delays, and of the fixed-cost nature of its NASA contract, Boeing has accrued $833 million in losses over more than two years on the Starliner program.
Nappi on Thursday emphasized that Boeing is “still committed” to finishing work on the capsule and flying for NASA. | aerospace |

Students built the EcoSoar for remote medicine delivery and remote sensing purposes
An aviation milestone was achieved last week in Malawi, as a team from Virginia Tech supervised a fully autonomous, 19 km simulated drug delivery flight in a drone designed at Virginia Tech and built by Malawian students. The aircraft, called EcoSoar, was designed at the Unmanned Systems Lab to be fabricated and operated locally in Malawi for remote medicine delivery and remote sensing purposes.
The flight testing occurred at the drone testing corridor in Kasungu, opened by the Government of Malawi and UNICEF in June, 2017 to explore drone applications in emergency medical supply delivery, vaccines and sample delivery for diagnosis, and remote sensing. The corridor is the first of its kind in Africa and allows for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) testing in a territory over 5000 km² and up to 400 meters above ground level.
Global companies that participate in this drone testing corridor will also be required to spend time training and working with local students, engineers, and entrepreneurs and sharing the skills and opportunities that this emerging industry provides. This skill-sharing will ensure that not only are technologies tested in Malawi, but that those tests develop a workforce that can pilot, service, and utilize this technology in the future.
Already manifesting this requirement, a two-day workshop for Malawian students was held. Kevin Kochersberger, Zack Standridge and James Donnelly from Virginia Tech coached 13 students and faculty from Malawian universities in a two-day workshop through the construction of the aircraft that is made of foam core (poster board) and 3D printed parts to facilitate local production and keep costs low.
Five aircraft were fabricated during the two-day workshop, starting with only sheets of foam core and pre-printed plastic components. Kevin Kochersberger from Virginia Tech underlined that “it is a testimony to the clever design of the aircraft that 13 participants who had limited or no experience in aircraft construction were able to successfully build flying aircraft”.
On November 8, the aircraft was test flown at the Kasungu airport in preparation for the delivery flight the next day.
On November 9, the real endurance test for the newly built drones was taking place. Gogode which is a small community 17 km from the aerodrome was chosen as the site for the first simulated unmanned delivery of medicine because of the health centre located there and the bad road connection to Kasungu. After one aborted test flight, the second try proved to be a perfect, fully autonomous flight to Kasungu airport! The flight took some 16 minutes and covered an actual distance of 19 km.
“The drone used for the delivery was only built some three days earlier by local students; seeing how quickly progress can be made is simply marvelous!”
It was truly inspiring to see a Malawi manufactured drone only built days before by students under Virginia Tech guidance, could have a potential to deliver medicine to remote hard to access communities.
This is a great example of how important it is to build local capacity in the drone sector. If we can build an ecosystem of drone experts locally, we can ensure that these solutions are sustainable and embedded within the communities it services.
Witnessing these, I see the great opportunity for drones to leapfrog over broken infrastructure to carry lifesaving materials, in places where developed transportation networks do not exist.

A new way to think about our planet.
Nearly five billion years ago, Earth and Mars were born together as planetary siblings orbiting a young, emerging Sun. Yet today, one planet is water rich and life bearing, while the other is seemingly cold, dry, and forbidding.
Earth and Mars is a fusion of art and science, a blend of images and essays celebrating the successful creation of our life-sustaining planet and the beauty and mystery of Mars. Through images of terrestrial landscapes and photographs selected from recent NASA and European Space Agency missions to Mars, Earth and Mars reveals the profound beauty resulting from the action of volcanism, wind, and water. The accompanying text provides a context for appreciating the role of these elemental forces in shaping the surfaces of each planet, as well as the divergent evolutionary paths that led to an Earth that is teeming with life, and Mars that is seemingly lifeless.
Earth and Mars inspires reflection on the extraordinarily delicate balance of forces that has resulted in our good fortune: to be alive and sentient on a bountiful blue world.

In fact, NASA was already developing and testing its own spacecraft at the time, the Constellation program.
But it was a bit of a surprise when Apollo 11 launched into orbit on November 15, 1969.
It was the first time the American crew had flown into space.
That was also the first lunar mission.
And the last one.
NASA’s mission to the moon in the mid-1960s had been a failure.
The mission had been delayed in part because of political tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States, who were still not happy with the space program.
In addition, NASA had just recently lost its contract to supply parts for the space shuttle, which was to carry astronauts to the International Space Station.
But the success of Apollo 11 was seen by NASA as a sign that the space station was becoming a reality.
The space station’s design was based on a modified version of the Apollo spacecraft.
As a result, the space agency would have had to launch several satellites to make up for the lost payloads.
That’s why the first manned flight to the space center was to be an orbital test flight on April 30, 1972.
But that was not to be.
The next day, Apollo 11 exploded on the surface of the moon, killing all eight crew members.
The moon landings The Apollo 11 mission ended with the final landing on the moon.
The astronauts used parachutes to land on the lunar surface.
The spacecraft was then docked to the lunar base on the far side of the base.
But there were a few problems with the docking: One was that the parachutes didn’t work because of a lack of fuel.
The crew needed fuel to bring the spacecraft to the surface.
They also had to make a decision whether to land the craft on the water or land on a crater.
NASA engineers made a compromise.
They decided to dock the spacecraft with a small parachute, and the crew would descend the lunar crater.
The parachute was designed so that it would deploy when the capsule was about two meters (7.8 feet) in diameter.
It worked fine.
The second problem was that a parachute didn’t go up into the sky like a parachute would.
The capsule was meant to descend down a steep slope and hit the lunar soil in a cloud of dust.
But during the descent, the parachute didn�t deploy, and there was no cloud to protect the astronauts from the lunar dust.
So the astronauts had to use the parachute to help them get down to the base of the lunar pole, which is the base where the lunar landings were supposed to take place.
The final landing was a success because the astronauts used the parachute and it deployed the landing site on the top of the crater, which had been created by the impact of the capsule with the lunar crust.
There was a lot of excitement and celebration on the ground, and some people even climbed aboard the space capsule.
They were greeted by crowds of people who had been waiting for hours to get their photos taken.
At the end of the day, the astronauts got a medal for their efforts.
They had been the first American astronauts to set foot on the Moon.
They got the chance to fly into space, but they also got to make the moon a reality, too.
NASA has a lot more space history to tell with the next Apollo missions, which will be called Discovery and Apollo 11.
NASA will be celebrating the anniversary of Apollo on September 6 with a parade on the National Mall, which commemorates the launch of the first Apollo mission.
The agency also has a Space and Science Hall of Fame to honor astronauts who have been a part a space operation. | aerospace |

They were developing technology that would help the U.S. succeed in conflicts across the globe. But they also made giant leaps for mankind as the U.S. and Soviet Union went toe to toe in the space race. Willis Finley is one of those men and an East Texas hero.
"I wore this uniform all through my career in the military," Finley told us.
Ask Willis Finley about the days he wore his dress blues and the answer will pull you back in time. In 1946 Finley was 17. That when he started in the Army Air Corps at the tail end of World War II. He made the jump to the Air Force in 1949.
"We had search radars which they used for mapping and dropping bombs and things like that," he said.
Finley was stationed at Keesler Air Force base in Biloxi, Mississippi and learned radar systems for every kind of plane in the Air Force. When the Korean War began the Air Force kept Finley in Biloxi as an instructor. He prepared radar specialists for service in Korea.
"I was down there at Keesler for three years. There were hundreds of them, hundreds of them," he told us.
The radar was also vital for navigation, detecting altitude, and jamming technology to disorient the enemy.
Finley said, "not only did they jam other aircraft radars but they also jammed ground communication systems."
Finley decided to become a career military man. And soon after the Korean War America found itself in the space race. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957 and the Air Force was in need of experts to test equipment that would be used to get us into space. So Finley became a metrologist, someone who's sole responsibility is to test, maintain, and calibrate equipment to make sure it's working in tip top shape.
"There are very few instruments in the Air Force, Army and Navy I don't know a little bit about," Finley said, "we wore white coats and we had special shoes. It was in a clean room area."
And his calibration skills came in handy during the Vietnam War. Finley was deployed twice. The weight of responsibility on him was huge as the superintendent of a lab in Okinawa, Japan from 1964 to 1966. His team provided equipment support for countless flight crews flying bombing missions from Okinawa to Vietnam.
"Sometimes we had some special airplanes that you don't talk too much about because they're classified," he said.
His wife Rachel went with him on his tour in Okinawa. You can still see touches of Eastern culture around their home. And he picked up a hidden souvenir, a special skill.
"I went to one of those Japanese schools that did Karate so I got to be a brown belt guy," Finley told us.
He went back overseas for a second time during the war and served on a base in Thailand from 1970 to 1971 before retiring in 1975.
"I gave it everything that I had and I gave the military my youth and I was very proud of that and still am," he said.
Willis Finley's career of service spanned nearly 3 decades for a country he wouldn't trade for anything.
He said, "I wouldn't want to live anywhere else." | aerospace |

Space exploration has always captivated the human imagination. The vastness of the universe, with its countless stars and galaxies, has been a source of wonder and curiosity for centuries. In recent years, the concept of “cruising in the stellar sea” has emerged as a potential way for people to experience the wonders of outer space firsthand. This article will delve into the concept of cruising in the stellar sea, exploring its possibilities, challenges, and potential impact on space tourism.
The Rise of Space Tourism
Space tourism has gained significant traction in recent years, with companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin leading the way in making space travel more accessible to the general public. While traditional space tourism involves brief trips to the edge of space, cruising in the stellar sea takes the experience to a whole new level.
Imagine embarking on a journey that takes you far beyond the confines of Earth’s atmosphere, allowing you to explore the wonders of the universe. Cruising in the stellar sea offers the opportunity to witness breathtaking views of distant galaxies, experience zero gravity, and even visit other celestial bodies.
The Challenges of Cruising in the Stellar Sea
While the idea of cruising in the stellar sea may sound like a dream come true, it is not without its challenges. One of the primary obstacles is the immense distance between celestial bodies. Even our closest neighbor, the Moon, is over 238,000 miles away from Earth. Traveling to other planets or stars would require overcoming vast distances that are currently beyond our technological capabilities.
Another challenge is the harsh environment of outer space. The lack of atmosphere, extreme temperatures, and exposure to cosmic radiation pose significant risks to human health. Overcoming these challenges would require advanced spacecraft technology and robust life support systems to ensure the safety and well-being of passengers.
The Potential Impact of Cruising in the Stellar Sea
Despite the challenges, the concept of cruising in the stellar sea holds immense potential for the future of space tourism. Here are some of the potential impacts it could have:

- Advancing space exploration: The development of technology capable of cruising in the stellar sea would have significant implications for space exploration. It would enable scientists and researchers to study distant celestial bodies up close, leading to new discoveries and advancements in our understanding of the universe.
- Expanding our horizons: Cruising in the stellar sea would allow individuals to witness the beauty and vastness of the universe firsthand. It would provide a perspective that is impossible to achieve from Earth, fostering a deeper appreciation for our place in the cosmos.
- Economic opportunities: The rise of space tourism, including cruising in the stellar sea, would create new economic opportunities. It would stimulate the growth of industries related to space travel, such as spacecraft manufacturing, space tourism services, and space exploration research.
1. How far can we currently travel in space?
Currently, the farthest humans have traveled in space is to the Moon, which is approximately 238,000 miles away from Earth. However, unmanned spacecraft, such as Voyager 1, have traveled much farther. Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has reached interstellar space and is currently over 14 billion miles away from Earth.
2. What are the risks of traveling in the stellar sea?
Traveling in the stellar sea poses several risks, including exposure to cosmic radiation, extreme temperatures, and the lack of breathable air. These risks can have detrimental effects on human health and require advanced spacecraft technology and life support systems to mitigate.
3. How long would it take to travel to other stars?
Traveling to other stars would require overcoming immense distances. Even with advanced propulsion systems, it would take thousands of years to reach the nearest star systems. The development of faster-than-light travel or breakthroughs in space-time manipulation would be necessary to make interstellar travel feasible within a human lifetime.
4. How much would cruising in the stellar sea cost?
The cost of cruising in the stellar sea would likely be astronomical, at least initially. Space tourism is currently a luxury reserved for the ultra-wealthy, with tickets for brief trips to the edge of space costing millions of dollars. Cruising in the stellar sea would likely be even more expensive, given the technological challenges and resources required.
5. What are the ethical considerations of cruising in the stellar sea?
Cruising in the stellar sea raises ethical considerations, particularly regarding the impact on the environment and the allocation of resources. Space travel consumes significant amounts of energy and resources, and the potential exploitation of celestial bodies for tourism purposes raises questions about sustainability and responsible exploration.

That is why a satellite station is so important.
So if you want to see your satellites more clearly, you’re going to have to be a bit more concerned about the amount of detail you’re going to get out of them. With the latest updates of the Arcturus satellite, that detail has been greatly increased thanks to increased power and more sensitive optics. That means that now you can see your satellites like a hawk. The fact that you can see your satellites so clearly is one of the biggest advantages of having satellites.
This isn’t the first time arctic station has been upgraded, but it’s the first time that it’s been so large and powerful. The new satellites feature 4×4 active radar dishes (like a big microwave dish) that can track the satellites for up to 3 days, giving you a complete 360-degree view of your satellite constellation.
It also gives you better views of the satellites, including the moon, so that you can spot the satellites that are flying out above your location, and see if you’re within range of them. It doesn’t hurt that the satellites are also visible on a night vision HUD, so you can see if your kid is lying down on the couch and his head is directly below you.
arctic station is a virtual reality-based game where you play as a space-based satellite. Players can look at their satellite, see the moon, and see what satellites are flying around in the sky. It’s like being on a big-budget sci-fi movie, only with a little extra space stuff thrown in.
It seems to be a pretty cool idea. I suppose it’d be cool if the game was actually as cool as the trailers say, but I’d much rather see the trailer than be disappointed.
There is one possible problem with this kind of space game. It seems to be more of a virtual reality game than an actual space game. One of the main purposes of virtual reality is to simulate the real world in a way that people can interact with it. To do that, you need a platform that is comfortable for people to walk around on. In an actual space game, the game itself is the platform. There is an issue with this kind of game though.
There is an important difference between a virtual reality and a space game. For a virtual reality, there is no difference between the real world and a game. This is why you need to have a VR headset to enjoy a virtual world. In actual space, you are free to move around and not be confined.
If you have a space station and want to interact with it, you need to use a platform or a room-scale system. A platform is a physical object that is able to move across the surface of the space station. This can be an elevator, a ramp, or a staircase if your system requires that. A room-scale system is a physical system that you place in a space that is able to move around within the space station.
A space station is the most basic type of platform. The most common kind of space station is like a big, metal box. When you buy a space station, it’s the most basic you can get. A space station can be made from materials that are common to any space station, such as steel bars. The other most common type of space station is like a box of computers. It can be made by using components that are common to computers, such as circuit boards. | aerospace |

Today I´ll be answering a question on "How much fuel does a jet airplane need?". But more regarding trip fuel, contingency fuel, alternate fuel, extra fuel, final reserve and taxi fuel. This is a basic guideline on fuel figures and fuel planning of any commercial jet airplane. How much fuel jet airplanes eventually use, will be discussed in a upcoming video. Thank you very much for watching. The next video will be online next saturday!

Greg smith: Hi joe great videos, could you do something on intercepting the glide slope and also when you disconnect the auto pilote on approach
Andy Kashu: Don't understand so many dislikes. Really. Which blokes would dislike this vid and why?
Jamaluddin Shaikh: Hello Joe sir...plz explain how the APU helps to start the engine?
Andy: It's pretty much how our taxi drivers fuel up their cars: exactly as much as they need to get to their destination.
Chenda Pharith: Such a great video Joe, but I wonder that after park the plane, fuel is add on over the existing in tank for the next flight or pump the existing out and then put the new one ?
sambuddha das: you did not mention what kind of fuel an aircraft use and how much fuel needed for a jet plane?
Tomas T: the landing gear of a plane is never designed to land the plane fully loaded.
upasna sharma: I guess who asked this question wanted.to know in number how many tons of fuel is used u dumb
PH1LZ: Wieso finde ich deinen Kanal denn erst jetzt, lieber Joe :) Großartige Videos, sehr informativ! Du hast einen neuen Abonnenten gewonnen :)

Ikram Hakimi Mohd Hassan: Why can't airplane fuel tank to fill to the max? Or fill the petrol until the tank is full?
Captain Boeing: Very good explanation CAPTAIN..
Rishi Thunuguntla: A small question actually since my childhood
#What if the landing gear of the plane fails when ur approching the air strip#
Can u just explain that senario
I will feel happy if it's explained by a video because they r just awesome
Gaminoes: What happens if the plane engines face any foreign materials like plastics, or birds while flying?
igotanM16: I have a question: If something happened on the runway the flight was going to land on and the plane had to divert, then why do they have to go to a different airport and not just circle around to a different runway?
Ignas Brazys: Is the "block fuel" counted with the weight of passengers+cargo or just an empty plane?
Sherif Salem: your videos are amazingly interesting and informative...I regret not having chosen to be a pilot - I had considered it when I was going into university but figured it would be too hard :) I love planes and although I've been flying for years, I still find planes fascinating.
michael wood: "Your really having a really bad day" lmao
I love your videos and you always explain an EXTREMELY complicated machine in easy to understand terms.
I always wondered if something happened like in the movies (oh, god the pilots are unconscious can anyone fly a plane?) if I could step up and do it. I am extremely experienced at driving anything on wheels, tracks or water and always thought "hell yeah, I could do it" but after watching your videos I came to the conclusion that we would all just die....lol

CHP helicopter, airplane team up for rescue effort
Two teenagers were rescued after getting stuck on a ridgeline in the Sierra Buttes Saturday evening.
The California Highway Patrol said two boys, ages 16 and 17, were hiking in the Sierra Buttes when they became stranded along a very narrow shelf on the ridge at about 8,600 feet around 5:45 p.m.
Officers in a CHP helicopter lowered a harness down to the boys and were able to communicate with them over a loudspeaker.
A CHP airplane was also overhead filming the rescue mission.
The camera operator was able to zoom in on the boys, allowing the officers to better instruct the teens how to fasten the harness.
CHP said the 17-year-old was rescued first and dropped off at a landing zone on Highway 49.
The helicopter went back to rescue the 16-year-old and also returned him to safety along the highway, officers said.
CHP said high winds made the rescue efforts difficult for the helicopter, and the first mission had to be stopped because it was dangerous for the crew inside.
Both boys were reunited with their families.
No injuries were reported. | aerospace |

While much of the video footage shared online is somewhat recent and shows the increasingly destructive conflict in the eastern Donbas region, some older clips have come to light showing destroyed aircraft, weapons, and vehicles from earlier in the conflict.
One video shared by military researcher Blue Sauron appears to show a Ukrainian Su-24M attack aircraft that appears to have crashed in the early stages of the war.
Ukraine Weapons Tracker, a popular Twitter account that tracks the use and destruction of weapons in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, claimed that the video likely shows the downed plane in Poltava Oblast.
“#Ukraine: Previously undocumented loss of the Ukrainian Air Force – a Su-24M attack aircraft which crash-landed in the earlier stages of war, presumably in Poltava Oblast. Both pilots survived,” the account writes.
What is the Su-24M?
The Su-24m is one of the most powerful long-range, low-level military aircraft developed in the Soviet Union. The plane is often compared to the U.S. General Dynamics F-111 plane, as well as the European Tornado.
The Soviet fighter aircraft features a 2x 2 × Saturn/Lyulka AL-21F-3A turbojets jet engine and has a maximum cruise speed of 1,315 km/h (710 knots). It also has a range of 2,778 kilometers and despite being replaced by more modern planes is considered one of the best fighter jets ever developed by Russia.

— ?? Ukraine Weapons Tracker (@UAWeapons) June 23, 2022
More modern variations of the plane include the Su-34 and Su-35S.
A Highly Effective Aircraft
A crashed Su-24M is by no means an indication that this aircraft is unreliable or ineffective in war. The aircraft has been successfully used by the Ukrainian Air Force to launch a number of successful air attacks on enemy positions, destroying Russian military equipment and task forces.
On June 3, the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed over 20 Russian armored personnel vehicles using air defense units.
The Air. Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Facebook how Ukrainian assault aircraft destroyed the vehicles.
“June 3, the assault aircraft of the Air Force destroyed more than 20 armored personnel vehicles, the fortified positions of the occupiers in various directions, enemy manpower,” the post reads.
More than 1,000 airstrikes have been launched by both Su-25 and Su-24M aircraft since the beginning of the war.

Turbulence means rocking of the aircraft due to disruption of air flow, which is one of the aiding elements of the aircraft. In addition, turbulence can be defined as an air pocket, causing the aircraft to lose some altitude suddenly.
The air that forms our atmosphere is always in motion. An airplane takes advantage of this mobility of air when flying. In order for the aircraft to fly stably, the air currents flowing under and over the wings must be regular. As a result of some weather events, these air currents may deteriorate and air voids may form. Turbulence may also occur in these cases. There are many factors in turbulence. Turbulence names are shaped according to these factors. For example, open air turbulence, temperature deviation turbulence and spurt turbulence. Turbulence is still an academic subject. It is therefore difficult to make a clear definition about the number of factors that cause turbulence.
What Does Turbulence Mean?
Entering turbulence means that the aircraft is caught in a distorted stream of air during flight. During the turbulence, the aircraft may shake and vibrate. Some turbulence is severe, some are very mild. The pilots talk about the turbulence and ask you to wear your seat belt. In this case it is very important that you fasten the seat belt. Because severe turbulence can swing you. According to a study conducted in the USA, only 58 of the 800 million passengers traveling in 2015 were damaged due to turbulence and the majority of these passengers were not wearing seat belts.
How Long Does Turbulence Last?
The duration of turbulence as a result of weather events can be long or short, depending on the condition of the defective air flow or the air pocket.
Does Turbulence Lower the Aircraft?
Turbulence, which can cause panic in passengers, does not drop the aircraft. Airplanes are designed to withstand any turbulence. Severe turbulence may seem frightening, but pilots are specially trained in turbulence. So during turbulence, just make sure that your seat belt is fastened and wait for the turbulence to end. Air travel may be uncomfortable for a while due to turbulence. This is related to aircraft rocking during turbulence and is considered normal. | aerospace |

“Flight termination orders have been issued for both the spacecraft and the booster,” the company said.
The Starship missile was launched yesterday from a site in Boca Chica on the Texas coast. About a minute after launch, it began to fall and spin, having lost its trajectory. When it rose to about 40 kilometers and had to drop the first stage, it exploded.
On Monday, the missile launch was canceled a few seconds before launch. The reason for this was problems with the fuel tank. | aerospace |

The DART mission, managed by the Planetary Defense Coordination Office (!), includes sending a pair of satellites out to a generally close by pair of asteroids, known as the Didymos binary. It’s one large-ish asteroid, around 780 meters across — that is Didymos proper — and a 160-meter “moonlet” in its orbit.
As the moonlet is more typical of the kind liable to threaten Earth — there being more asteroids that will be that size and not easily observed — we will test the chance of intercepting one by smashing into it at almost 15,000 miles per hour. This will change the speed of the moonlet by a simple fraction of a percent, however enough that its orbit period will be influenced quantifiably. Realizing precisely how much will assist us with arranging any future asteroid deflection missions — as anyone might expect, there isn’t a lot of existing science on smashing your spacecraft into asteroids.
A companion rocket, called the Light Italian CubeSat for Imagine Asteroids, or LICIACube, just had the finishing touches put on it last week and will be launched instantly before the activity and will endeavor to fly by at the very moment of effect and capture “the resultant plume of ejecta and possibly the newly-formed impact crater.”
An extremely astonishing and fascinating mission certainly, yet must be deferred past its original launch window of this summer, and November 23 denotes the first day of the new launch window. DART is planned to launch from Vandenberg in Southern California at 10:20 PM on that date, on board a SpaceX Falcon 9.
With Osiris-Rex and Japan’s Hayabusa-2 missions, Earth authorities are getting very acceptable at reaching out and touching asteroids. | aerospace |

In January 2022, the volcano Hunga Ha’apai located in Tonga islands erupted, causing a long giant wave that has interested the whole Pacific Ocean. The explosion was shot by several satellites and the spectacular
images of the eruption and the Hunga Tonga Island (completely swept away) went around the world, allowing everybody to know its incredible force and size.
This example briefly reports the high potential satellites for earth observation have and which role they play in the earth-awareness.
But, from where does their power come, and why satellites are going to play a growing role in the future? Let’s try to answer this question starting from the beginning.
The story of a success
The desire to observe and dominate the landscape from a privileged point of view is innate in humankind. When the technology became mature enough, at the end of the 19th century, the first balloons and aircraft with photo cameras to capture the landscape appeared for the first time. From that point on, aerial images became the unique tool for the documentation of areas from the sky and played a central role during the two World Wars for the military intelligence services.
However, it was during the Cold War, with the “space conquest”, that rockets with automated sensors started to rotate around the globe. They were able to monitor simultaneously large portions of the Earth and provide information about settlements, roads, and strategic infrastructures. As a perfect tool designed for non-stop monitoring, the USA government, between 1959 and 1972, adopted this technology to lead enormous satellite missions for spying surveillance of the Soviet Union — and its alleys — territories with the CORONA program, which covered millions of kilometers of Earth surface through sophisticated telescopic camera systems.
Only with the first satellite of the Landsat series, launched in 1972, did the world see the first spacecraft provided with a sensor able to capture imagery in a digital format with multispectral information. Besides the
multispectral technology, the main innovation was its goal: to observe the earth’s surface for environmental and protection purposes, as the US Interior secretary in the 1966 press release for the announcement of the mission claimed: “the time is right and it is urgent to apply space technology towards the solution of Environment Monitoring pressing natural resources problems being compounded by population and industrial growth”.
This became the success key of the satellite for Earth Observation. Spectacular and unexpected mages started to reveal to the general public unexplored world spots, long-period vegetation life cycles, and large area dynamics, as well as one-time disruptive events. The practical applications of satellite applications grew beside the satellite mission numbers. Nations and private companies launch their spacecraft with more advanced sensors for specific use monitoring like land, water, and atmosphere.

Colorful means meaningful
Satellites for Earth observation have the role to spot the world’s surface for various purposes. Also referred to “as remote sensing — for the transported sensors (active or passive)” that can gather information from a remote
source without touching it -, these eyes-in-the-sky capture the Sun’s electromagnetic radiations reflected by the Earth’s surface, record them, and send the data to ground stations, which elaborate these sources in raw
images, finally decoded by dedicated software in platforms such as Orbify.
The product of these operations displays images composed of numerous levels of information. Every single element on Earth (from the air to a house’s roof) reflects its radiations (spectral signature): displayed by image bands. Their combination and algorithmic calculation through a vivid color palette allow emphasizing elements, issues, and interesting data of the displayed territory.
Satellite sensors could work actively, too: in contrast to the sensor dedicated to getting earth radiations, these special sensors send energy waves toward the Earth’s surface and, then, record these waves after they have hit the Earth’s surface. Radar satellites could be less spectacular and more difficult to read than optical products, but offer an invaluable service: they can work night and day and whit every cloud condition and assist in various tasks and aims that optical satellites cannot achieve.
One image, hundred values
From the early years of the seventies of the last century, satellite images have become more and more available to a wider consumer base, from governmental agencies to educational organizations, institutions, communities, and individuals, and have conquered almost every branch of industrial and commercial fields. The strong connection with #geospatial applications (GIS, spatial data, remote sensing, SAR, etc…), the technological growth displayed by high-quality imagery, and the easy access provided by #open source imagery have pushed forward the potentialities of the satellite remote sensing data: Farming activities and the correct management of agricultural resources, today more than ever, the need for satellite information to plan and estimate productions, and new companies and start-ups are popping up to run satellite data-driven services. People can now offer these services to governments, space organizations, and basically anyone here!
Increasing high-resolution imagery allows a better landscape design and delivers a detailed overview for urban planning, urban development, and land cover change detection in cities.

Environmental protection takes advantage of the data collected by Earth observation technologies. Meteorological forecast, air pollution analysis, flood mapping, deforestation, and increase-decrease in snow levels are only some of the versatile data extractable from satellite images.
Humanitarian aid can be sent where natural disasters happen: the constant satellite time and land monitoring make available images of the hit places and map faster the area where people are in need. These are only some of the potentialities offered by the Earth observations applications.
Online geo navigation platforms, like Google Earth and Bing Map, have however the merit of (a sort of) “democratization” of this powerful documentation resource. The words “satellite imagery” are already part of our vocabulary and the curiosity and fascination of everyone — or, as said at the beginning of this article, the innate desire to dominate the land from “the sky” — toward satellites images will contribute to increasing the Earth observation technology use in the everyday activities.

In a seven-month long search for extreme planets, the Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment or CUTE will be in space. This is part of a study on the planets that can be found beyond the Solar System.
It comes around the same time as NASA’s Landsat 9 satellite which was originally meant to launch months ago but suffered from a delay due to a shortage of liquid nitrogen.
Both satellites were launched from Vandenberg Space Force Base Lompoc in California just before 2.15 pm. They were onboard a rocket that was launched Monday afternoon.
The Daily Star’s Spaced Out newsletter has more unusual news and astronomical information.
The Landsat 9 satellite is NASA’s most powerful Earth observation satellite launched to date and carries on the agencies 50-year legacy, reports the Daily Mail.
The satellite is jointly operated by NASA and US Geological Survey. It will continue to record changes in the planet’s surface that are caused by human activity as well as natural causes.
“We’ve assembled an amazing history of how the planet has changed over the last half century,” BBC News was informed by Dr Jeff Masek (NASA’s Landsat-9 project scientist).
“For example, we’re able to see the natural disturbances that occur, (such as) fires, hurricanes, and insect outbreaks.
“And then the long-term recovery of ecosystems that takes place for decades after that.”
It has been reported that the latest edition will study climate change impacts on ecosystems that could help steer policy and conservation efforts.
During this time, the CubeSat “Cherios box” will hopefully find out how much science can be done with a small satellite, while it observes the exoplanets.
“Ultimately CUTE has one major purpose, and that is to study the inflated atmospheres of these really hot, pretty gassy exoplanets,” commented graduate student Arika Egan, who helped develop the mission.
“The inflation and escape these exoplanetary atmospheres undergo are on scales just not seen in our own solar system.”
Principal investigator, Kevin France said it is “exciting but a little daunting.”
“Because these planets are parked so close to their parent stars, they receive a tremendous amount of radiation,” he added.
“The more places we understand atmospheric escape, the better we understand atmospheric escape as a whole.”

Haystack can routinely detect objects less than 1 cm in size in LEO. HAX can routinely detect debris objects less than about 3 cm in LEO. Goldstone, while limited in capability compared to HAX and Haystack, can detect objects only a few millimeters in size in LEO. By making statistical observations of the debris, however, we have given up the possibility of tracking these objects. So, in order to enhance our information on the orbital distribution of debris in LEO, several unusual radar geometries have been employed. These have been used to identify families of orbital debris with similar orbital inclinations and altitude distributions. In addition, polarization measurements have allowed us to probe the characteristics of the debris - primarily the shape of the particles. New statistical data analysis techniques reveal information on the elliptical orbit distributions, and allow us to make the first direct estimates of the contributions of elliptical orbits of centimeter objects to the flux in LEO and to characterize the sources of these debris. This paper updates the results of measurements made by the Haystack, Haystack Auxiliary, and Goldstone radars and how NASA is finding new ways to use these instruments to answer questions about the orbital debris environment. | aerospace |

An excellent overview of satellite imaging systems and disaster management can be found in Richards (1982).
While both aerial and satellite remote sensing techniques are presented, emphasis is placed on satellite-derived sensing because the data provide the synoptic view required by the broad scale of integrated development planning studies.
Since the existing remote sensing information may be inadequate for a planning task or phase, this chapter also provides guidelines on selecting and acquiring the appropriate data.
Only those sensor systems that are deemed capable of making a insignificant contribution to the development planning process are discussed, with their specific applications to the assessment of each of several natural hazards.
Characteristics of both aerial and satellite remote sensing techniques and the role remote sensing can play in detecting and mitigating several natural hazards are highlighted.
One of the most important tools available to the regional planner is the remote sensing of the environment.The former are called aerial or airborne remote sensors and the latter, satellite or spaceborne remote sensors.These instruments record data using optical, electro-optical, optical mechanical, or electronic devices.Other factors include area of coverage, frequency, and data cost and availability.DEFINITIONS Instruments which record electromagnetic radiation emitted or reflected from the earth can be mounted on aircraft or satellites.Needless to say I never went out with him again and it was the weirdest date I’ve ever been on!! | aerospace |

The helicopter, named Ingenuity, was a 30-day technology demonstration sent to see if we could fly an aircraft in the very thin Martian atmosphere.
As is often with NASA’s robotic missions to Mars in recent times, it did that, and exceeded all expectations. It became a companion to the rover and performed about 70 flights over the nearly three years that it flew on Mars. Then last month it encountered an accident that left one of its propeller damaged. That ended the mission.
I’ve been fascinated by this little flying helicopter and have often looked at the photos it was sending back. So much so that I have now compiled a video of all the photos taken by the navigation camera on Ingenuity. This downward pointing camera photographs the ground below it, and so the helicopter is always seen by its shadow, scuttling about the Martian landscape for a cumulative 17 km (10.5 miles) over its mission timeline.
No doubt, Ingenuity has shown that a flying robot is a very useful tool in exploring Mars, like wheeled rovers showed over the last few decades. Perhaps enough that future missions will bring more along. | aerospace |

A VTOL hybrid drone, an aircraft capable of taking off and landing vertically and flying with the aerodynamic efficiency characteristic of aircraft, was used to transport healthcare materials near Rome over a distance of more than 30 km in BVLOS mode (acronym for Beyond Visual line of Sight).
This is one of the first demonstrations in Italy of delivery of biological samples and biomedical products on routes that are not easily accessible by ordinary roads, with the help of vertical take-off drones equipped with electric propulsion and therefore with very low ecological and acoustic impact. The tests took place between 19 and 22 October.
The drone transported medical material by flying near Rome between two sites of the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital more than 32 km away: from the S. Marinella collection centre to the analysis centre in Palidoro and vice versa, using an automatic control mode beyond the operator’s field of vision.
The experiment involved the use of Telespazio’s T-DROMES cloud-based digital platform, which enables end-to-end services to be provided: from planning to the execution of a drone mission, right through to the processing of data acquired by on-board sensors.
As part of the demonstration, drone operators tested the U-Space geo-awareness and strategic deconfliction services provided by the D-FLIGHT platform, set up in 2018 by ENAV (the company that manages civil air traffic in Italy) with the participation of Leonardo and Telespazio.
Thanks to the services that will be progressively made available by D-FLIGHT, it will be possible for traditional aviation and thousands of drones to coexist in Italian airspace, which in the future will be entrusted with the most diverse tasks. D-FLIGHT so confirms its position as one of the first operational U-Space platforms in Europe.
The testing campaign foresees several successive phases, in which various types of remotely controlled aircraft will be used; it will end in December 2020. The long-term objective is to be able to extend the service also in a densely populated urban environment, connecting the hospital’s Palidoro site with those in Rome. | aerospace |

Pressure actuated cellular structures (PACS) are a biologically inspired morphing concept for the development of energy efficient, lightweight and applicable flexible adaptive structures. Similar to the movement of nastic plants, the functional principle of PACS is based on the controlled volumetric expansion of pressure cells.
This paper proposes and presents PAC structures in aviation as control surfaces. Future airfoil concepts require smaller installation spaces for actuators as well as energy-efficient lightweight design concepts. Due to the functional principle of fluid actuation and the combination of actuator and control surface, shape-variable, pressure-activated cell structures offer great advantages over other actuation concepts. These include improved aerodynamics, reduced component complexity, higher load carrying capacity and high motion resolution. The current PACS-concept will be further developed into a component for a real application. This requires both new manufacturing methods and improved design procedures.
Current progress in the manufacturing process of PACS is presented and various manufacturing processes are compared. In addition, the entire design process from the preliminary design to the functioning prototype of an aileron is presented. A novel design approach that meets the requirements of a real aerodynamic component will be presented, discussed and compared to the current state of the art. First experimental results will be compared with the expected structural and shape changing performance from the numerical results | aerospace |

Although the GPS seems like a generally new invention, the global positioning system was first a prototype in 1972, designed to advance the US Air Force, using a ground base satellite. However the first satellite launched for this experiment wasn’t until 1978. The GPS is looked at as an invention by the Department of Defense, however the idea for the global positioning system came Dr. Ivan Getting.
A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely timing the signals sent by GPS satellites high above the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits messages that include the time the message was transmitted, the orbital information, and
The general system health and rough orbits of all GPS satellites. The receiver uses the messages it receives to determine the time of each message and computes the distance to each satellite. Three satellites might seem enough to solve for position because space has three dimensions. However, even a very small clock error multiplied by the speed of light results in a large positional error. Therefore receivers use four or more satellites to solve for the receiver's location and time. The satellite clock, used for the GPS time relation is understood through very complex calculations, including position, time, and which satellite the signal is picked up by due to distance from the GPS. Several different extremely complex calculations work together to navigate the GPS in relation of the satellite above. On of the less complex calculations is the one below explain how to calculate the distance from each different satellite to one GPS.
III. Biography of Investigator:
Dr. Ivan Getting was born in 1912 in New York City. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an Edison Scholar, receiving his Bachelor of Science in 1933. In 1960, his proposed technique was among the most advanced forms of navigational technology in the world, and its concepts were crucial stepping-stones in the development of the Global Positioning System or GPS. Since this invention was primarily designed for the Air Force, after Dr. Ivan Getting’s death in 2003, he was elected into the Air Force Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. This was one among his many awards and recognitions he received through out his life span, including National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2004.
IV. Impact on World/ Humanity:
GPS is used for business purposes for many different reasons. It has helped our business world become more successful. Many GPS products are being used by businesses and government agencies to track their vehicle locations using wireless communications. Some GPS receivers have been integrated into radios and cell phones. GPS are just as big a part of land navigation as they are sea and air navigation. Many pilots are turning to GPS as a supplemental navigation aid for their aircraft. GPS is being used to help parents find and keep track of their children and is being installed as a location device in cars and in cell phones to assist people in mapping and directions. Police officers also benefit from GPS technology as an aid to locate and keep track of dangerous criminals, helping to guard against escaped or missing dangerous offenders.
V. Journal Article:
In the Journal Article, GPS-Based Information System for Vehicles it helps further explain the idea of the GPS. The global positioning system is explained as an electronic tour guide in terms of cars, however through learning all the extreme math and science that goes into this, behind this tour guide is so much more. It is a highly compact machine with multifarious calculations all based on four major satellites to help further the advancement of navigation for society.

During Super Bowl, it looked like 300 Intel powered drones made a USA flag, Pepsi logo, stars and finally an Intel logo. In reality, it was all pre-recorded and of course no one wants to admit that it would be very embarrassing to have these drones fail in front of the live audience.
Late last year the company even had 500 drones flying synchronously which looks like a nice achievement. The company desperately wants you to like and want drones as it really needs to be successful in IoT products as it didn’t do a great job in building a successful smartphone SoC.
Intel Shooting Start drones are equipped with four rotors, weigh 280 grams and can fly up to 20 minutes. They come equipped with LED lights that can shine in four billion colors. There is no doubt that the flying drones look cool but it cost millions to make the Super Bowl parade work, an investment that is going to be really hard to monetize.
Intel is losing executives left and right and many of the people who helped Intel’s PC business unit to get where it is today left the company. Intel is about to get the competition from its old rival AMD and the company wants to talk about flying LED machines that it calls drones. Kim Stevenson, Doug Davis, Former Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intel's IoT (Internet of Things) Group and Kirk Skaugen, Intel's senior vice president and general manager of the Client Computing Group (CCG) are among a few top managers that left Intel in the last few quarters.
Drones will certainly have its place in the market but the ones that Intel is showing around have very limited used case scenario. They should probably get back to its basics and try to fix whatever is wrong with 10nm manufacturing and have the Cannonlake 10nm products ready. | aerospace |

She spent 328 days on the ISS and returned back to earth on Friday after accomplishing the longest stay ever by a women in spaceflight.
On March 2019, Koch arrived in space along with the European astronaut Luca Parmitano and Alexander Skvortsov a Russian Cosmonaut. Its was a 11-month mission and they performed various experiments which includes studying the effects of microgravity.
Koch has broken double records, first as a member of the all – female spacewalk and now the single woman to stay in the space of the longest time.
Her long stay mission will provide NASA with all the needed information on how the weightlessness of space and gravity radiation upsets a female body. The science can assist the US space agency’s target of constructing a permanent station on the surface of the moon within the next 10 years.
Koch’s mission has broken the record of the longest single stay in the space, previously held by Peggy Whitson by NASA. She also attained a gender milestone similarly with fellow astronauts of NASA last October, that made news as well. | aerospace |

March Field, as it was called in its early days, first opened as a training facility in 1918 and became an operational base by 1931. Over the years, it has served to advance the science of aviation and has been key in the modernization of the United States Air Force. Today, the base is home to the Air Force Reserve Command’s Fourth Air Force Headquarters, and also houses units from the Navy Reserve, Marine Corps Reserve, Army Reserve, California Air National Guard, and the California Army National Guard.
March Air Reserve Base was looking to modernize their Emergency Operation Center (EOC), which is used mainly by high-level officials. The goal was to make the room a high-tech hub for presentations, strategic planning sessions, training, secure conference calls, and monitoring classified operations. It had to be secure, since its occupants would often be dealing with sensitive and classified information, but it also needed to be high-functioning.
Base personnel had been procuring equipment on their own for several years, but eventually the time came to bring in a general contractor, a professional Crestron programmer, and an integrator to complete the project. AC Lopez Construction out of Oceanside, California was hired as the general contractor by the air base, who then brought in AV Programming Associates, based in San Diego, California, to complete the Crestron programming work. Crestron programming would give the room the high level of functionality that the base was looking for in an EOC. BarMak Systems was chosen as the Crestron dealer for the project.
One of the base’s main requirements was that the operation of the AV equipment and other systems in the room be user friendly. Now that the Crestron programming is complete, the room’s power, sound, and content switching can all be controlled from a single interface—a touchpanel or an xPanel on a computer. Audiovisual content can be displayed on the four monitors throughout the room for presentations, training videos, and monitoring. A DM16X16 Crestron switcher was used to allow true matrix switching. In addition, the space was configured for a FLEX audio conference system.
The completion of the EOC on March Air Reserve Base offers military officials new ways to communicate information in an effective way, as well as provides members of the United States Military with a space for high-tech training and monitoring.
The project was a true team effort, with contributions from base personnel, the general contractor, the systems integrator, and the team at AV Programming Associates.

The Commission’s decision cuts across the conclusions of its own impact assessment that even if the recent UN global aviation deal gets off the ground it will fall well short of the required ambition.
In a letter to the Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc, five green and development organisations - Birdlife, Friends of the Earth, Fern, Oxfam, and T&E - ask the Commissioner to reconsider her position about aviation biofuels. The organisations also make some recommendations on how to start decarbonising the sector.
In this letter CAN Europe, Transport & Environment, Seas at Risk, Carbon Market Watch and the Aviation Environment Federation urge the European Commission to ensure the aviation and maritime sectors reduce emissions in line with the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.
By Bill Hemmings, aviation and shipping directorWHAT WE LEARNED IN 2016: 2015 ended with big promises from the UN aviation and shipping bodies, ICAO and the IMO, that they’d finally act to rein in their sectors’ substantial and growing climate impact. It has been almost 20 years since they were first tasked with doing so by the Kyoto Protocol, and 2016 would be their last chance.
Strengthening the ETS as proposed by MEPs will cut almost four times more emissions from flights within Europe than the UN’s new offsetting scheme for aviation CO2, a new independent study has revealed. Europe has faced sustained pressure from industry and other states to remove aviation from its ETS and leave climate action to UN aviation body ICAO. But the study, commissioned by Transport & Environment, also finds that the ICAO global scheme will deliver less for the climate than the original aviation ETS, which only covers flights in, from and to Europe.
This study presents a comparative analysis of the global offsetting scheme for aircraft CO2 and various scopes for the inclusion of aviation in the EU ETS.
Growth in emissions from shipping and aviation will undo nearly half (43%) of the savings expected to be made by the rest of transport in Europe through to 2030, a new independent study has found. It means that almost half of the already-inadequate emissions savings expected in land transport will be cancelled out by ships and planes, according to the report commissioned by sustainable group Transport & Environment (T&E). | aerospace |

But the performance gains that come with this upgrade are impressive. This upgrade provides Sovereign owners with greater operational flexibility and performance benefits, such as increased speed at altitude, increased range /payload, improved time-to-climb, and more.
We are authorized by Winglet Technology to install the Transitional Winglets on Sovereign aircraft. Over the summer, we delivered the industry’s first Sovereign winglet upgrade and already have two more scheduled to begin in mid-September.
Setting aside the performance gains the Transitional winglets provide, downtime for the winglet modification can be a challenge. Scheduling the modification with Service Bulletins, inspections, interior modifications, paint refurbishments and avionics installations uses downtime more wisely, often without extending the service schedule.
To take advantage of the downtime and/or wing inspection access, the Citation Sovereign winglet modification is recommended to be scheduled with the Cessna Document 9 and 11.

China has successfully launched its first methane-propelled rocket, marking a significant milestone in its space exploration efforts. The 164-foot Zhuque-2 rocket, built by private Chinese company Landspace, was launched from the Jiuquan launch complex in Inner Mongolia. This achievement places China ahead of potential competitors from the United States in the race to develop a more powerful spacecraft for moon missions.
The Zhuque-2 Launch
The Zhuque-2 rocket, named after the Chinese word for vermilion rocket, successfully reached orbit after its launch on Wednesday morning local time. The U.S. Space Force confirmed that the rocket's upper stage was carrying a "mass" and was orbiting Earth along a polar flight path inclined 97.3 degrees on the Equator at altitudes between 270 and 287 miles.
This successful launch comes after a failed attempt in December 2022, where several satellites were lost. The Zhuque-2 rocket's four engines, which emit a distinctive bluish color when burning methane, have a combined thrust of 268 metric tons.
Future Plans and Competition
According to Chinese state media, a more powerful rocket using methane could potentially carry a spacecraft for lunar landings, while another ship could transport Chinese astronauts. This achievement is particularly notable considering the numerous failed attempts by other companies to use methane as a propellant. Methane is seen as a less polluting, cheaper, and safer alternative to current rocket fuels.
Several major players in the space industry, including SpaceX, ULA Vulcan, Blue Origin's New Glenn, Rocket Lab's Neutron, and Relativity Space's Terran R, are planning to use a combination of methane and oxygen in their rockets. However, SpaceX's Starship exploded minutes after liftoff on April 20, underscoring the challenges of this technology.
In a separate development, another Chinese rocket, fueled by a kerosene variant derived from coal instead of oil, successfully launched and placed its payload into orbit in early April. This highlights China's continued innovation and progress in space technology. | aerospace |

Previously, there have been 3D printed houses and concrete construction blocks here on Earth. However, it isn’t feasible to ship the materials necessary to Mars that would even break ground on something of this matter. Therefore, the two are collaborating to create a process for extracting metals from Martian soil, known as molten regolith electrolysis. Regolith, or moon dust, is in very short supply here on earth, and while there are stimulants available, there composition differs from that of moon dust. Because of this, UCF has come up with a refinement process for extracting metal from Martian soil.
The process is fairly simple, to the surprise of many. Astronauts would essentially extract Martian soil from the planet’s surface, and feed it into a chamber. The chamber would then be heated to nearly 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit which would produce molten metal and oxygen. Professor Sudipta Seal, the chair of UCF’s Material Science and Engineering program is helping NASA to better understand how the material produced would work with a 3D printer. He explains, “It’s essentially using additive-manufacturing techniques to make constructible blocks. UCF is collaborating with NASA to understand the science behind it.” | aerospace |

The Mexican engineer Alejandro Farah, former president of the Astronomical Society of Mexico, spoke with Clarín to clear doubts and controversial questions. Why did no one ever go back to the Moon and want to do it now? What is the social benefit of these expensive expeditions?
Friend’s Day is celebrated in Argentina every July 20, coinciding with the arrival of humans on the Moon in 1969. The space race that broke out between the then Soviet Union and the United States is known, in which it was the winner the USSR for first exploring outer space, but it was the United States that managed to reach the Moon in 1969. No one has returned since 1972. Farah says that returning is a symbol of “brotherhood”, in the hope that “people can work in set to achieve benefits for all humanity ”.
Why did no country return to the Moon and why return now?
The costs to do so were exorbitant, in addition to the fact that there were no guarantees of financial compensation. For the Apollo missions, 25 billion dollars were invested (currently it would be 158 billion). Today the values are still high, but not like before. Now, space mining is one of the strongest motivations. Not only to exploit the raw material there, but also to have a moon base that allows life on Mars.
What is special about these minerals?
One of the most exquisite elements is Helium 3, which can be fused with chemical elements such as deuterium and hydrogen and generate energy with less pollutants. Many call it lunar gold, and it may be the generator of the clean energy of the future. The technology to generate it is in process, it requires high temperatures, several times that of the center of the Sun.
What projects exist around the return to the Moon?
We are working to achieve the viability of human life on the Moon in 2024 and on Mars in 2030. There are many projects. The most ambitious is NASA’s Artemis. Its objective is to achieve a sustainable presence on the Moon and in lunar orbit, which serves as the basis to make the habitability of Mars possible in 2030. SpaceX, in collaboration with NASA, is one of the great players in private initiative. Reaching the red planet is still complex, due to the time it takes to get there and the physical and emotional exhaustion of astronauts.
Why do they seek to achieve the habitability of Mars and consider the Moon as a base?
Mars has an atmosphere, it is believed that there is abundant water below the surface and its temperature can allow life. In contrast, the lunar atmosphere is practically nil and could not be.
Could human life then be established on the Moon?
Yes. But the same thing happens with the International Space Station (ISS), which is in orbit 400 kilometers from Earth and is the only place beyond our planet where humans have established themselves. They have to live inside capsules.
And how does staying on Mars make a lunar base viable?
There are raw materials that can be obtained on the Moon, resources to generate energy and make things. Putting something into orbit from there to Mars is much cheaper than from Earth. In addition, the spaceships can be recharged there to get there.
What is the economic interest in Mars?
There are many minerals and materials that can be used for technological development. This development will bring social benefits on Earth and economic retribution for the countries that exploit these minerals.
What kind of social benefits?
The imminent benefits point to telecommunications, saving energy, improving the technical capacity of the industry and making manufacturing processes more efficient. The telecommunications we have today are due to spatial development.
The great objective then is the exploitation of space natural resources in favor of the Earth. But does evaluating the viability of life on Mars imply another background? Is it expected to achieve permanent habitability?
You are right. The ultimate goal is to assess the feasibility of establishing a human population. They are going to do studies and take giant 3D printers to build everything they need.
Will new generations live to see it?
Surely yes. We are going to exploit space mining and little by little life on Mars is going to be established.
What can you tell us about the popular belief that we have never reached the Moon?
It surprises me. There are many ways to demonstrate it. For example, the arrangement of mirrors that they left behind and that have been used since then to measure the distance between Earth and the Moon.
What do you think about the terraplanista movement?
I find it aberrant. A lunar eclipse is the simplest way to demonstrate that the Earth cannot be flat.
What is the value to humanity of returning to our natural satellite?
There are many symbolisms: union, fraternity and the hope that the human being can work together to achieve social benefits for all humanity. All astronauts going into space finally represent us. They carry that flag, that meaning in their veins. They want to do their best to represent us. So it is always good to have an astronaut friend.
Alejandro Farah is a Doctor in Mechanical Engineering (National Autonomous University of Mexico), a specialist in mechanical design of astronomical instruments. His doctoral thesis included a masterful design that won a Weizmann-Kahn Prize. Currently, he works as an academic technician at the Institute of Astronomy at UNAM, is a systems coordinator for the University Space Network and works on technological innovation and mechanical design applied to astronomical instrumentation. | aerospace |

This is even more true in the aerospace industry.
There is a company in California that I have always admired: Scaled Composites. Burt Rutan and his team have built some of the most interesting aircraft ever. (My favorite being the Boomerang.)
Their most high profile project to date was SpaceShipOne, which won the Ansari X Prize. Scaled made two flights in excess of 100km above the earth (past the edge of space) within two weeks using the same vehicle. It was an amazing feat, and Virgin partnered with them soon after to license the technology and build a space tourism business with Virgin Galactic.
Unfortunately, last summer during rocket motor testing in the development of SpaceShipTwo, an explosion occurred. Three Scaled employees died, and more were seriously hurt in the explosion, including a good friend of mine from University.
Scaled recently posted an update on the accident investigation [PDF] which was quite revealing:
After doing our best to take care of the families and each other, the first order of business was to work with Cal OSHA in its investigation of the accident. Cal OSHA took through the end of January this year to complete its investigation. The agency did not determine a cause for the accident. We are continuing to work with Cal OSHA. In doing so, we hope to support Scaled’s needs as well as the ongoing efforts of others in this developing industry.
You are truly working on the edge of the envelope when such an event occurs and months later no one knows the reason why it happened. Scaled was working with Nitrous Oxide, which is probably one of the safest substances you could use and still turn it into a rocket motor. I’m amazed that the cause wasn’t determined, and hope that the many actions Scaled has taken to prevent future accidents will prove effective.
As I wrote above, pushing the edges of the envelope can be a very hazardous business; unfortunately it’s the only way to truly grow. | aerospace |

The EHang 184 is an autonomously controlled drone much like the radio controlled units available on the market today with the slight difference being that it can carry one human-sized passenger. The Institute for Autonomous Systems granted EHang the green light to test the drone’s basic flight capabilities whilst also throwing its support behind the program to reinforce the airworthiness of autonomous single-seaters to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Of course we’ll still be a long way off from seeing passengers in drones since air space is restricted in most parts of the world today. For now Nevada may well be the perfect testing bed thus far for the UAV drone as it consists of an expansive desert area as well as a robust tourism industry that could help leverage the project in the long run.
Mark Barker of The Institute told the Las Vegas Review Journal that he’s keen to see the day when “drone taxis” become a part of everyday transport. Think a future where a robotic drone picks you up from an airport and whisks you away to your favourite casino without having to battle ground traffic.
If there’s any place to get such an audacious project off the ground, it’s the U.S. And if it’s money the project requires, Las Vegas is the right place to set up shop. | aerospace |

There have been many theories regarding the ultimate fate of Flight MH370, including the opinion behind the latest recovery mission that earlier attempts had been focused too far to the north.
Some, however, have concluded that the passenger jet did not actually crash at all, suggesting it could have been hijacked by terrorists who safely landed the plane to await its use in a subsequent attack.
While he stayed away from speculation regarding the motivation, the CEO of Emirates Airlines made news recently when he claimed that evidence seems to indicate the plane did not crash into the ocean.
Rather than concede the validity of the common narrative that the plane was on autopilot, ran out of fuel, and plummeted into the water below, Sir Tim Clarke shared his opinion that the aircraft was “under control, probably until the very end.”
In making his case, the industry expert noted the fact that there has been absolutely no evidence pointing to the remnants of the jet anywhere in the Indian Ocean.
“Our experience tells us that in water incidents, where the aircraft has gone down, there is always something,” he said. “We have not seen a single thing that suggests categorically that this aircraft is where they say it is, apart from this so-called electronic satellite ‘handshake,’ which I question as well.”
His reticence to accept supposed global positioning information is bolstered by the fact that the tracking system on board the plane was disabled – a feat he suggested was likely deliberate.
“Disabling it is no simple thing and our pilots are not trained to do so,” he said. “But on Flight MH370, this thing was somehow disabled to the degree that the ground tracking capability was eliminated.”
In the end, his opinion seems to be based most directly on the dearth of evidence.
“There hasn’t been one overwater incident in the history of civil aviation – apart from Amelia Earhart in 1939 – that has not been at least 5 or 10 percent trackable,” he concluded. | aerospace |

Walmart already offers drone delivery and announced in May that it is significantly expanding the service, with the potential to drop off one million parcels per year in six states by the end of the year.
Amazon customers in Lockeford, California, would be able to register for free delivery by “Prime Air” drones, the corporation revealed in a blog post.
According to Amazon, “air-eligible” items ordered from the retailer’s website will be packed into drones that will fly to delivery addresses, deposit packages outside from safe heights, and then fly away.
According to an Amazon spokesperson, the drones can carry loads weighing up to five pounds (2.2 kgs) in packages the size of a large shoe box.
According to the spokesperson, items approved for drone delivery will include household goods, beauty products, office supplies, and technology.
According to Amazon, it has developed an advanced system that allows its drones to detect and avoid aircraft, people, pets, and other obstacles.
“We designed our sense-and-avoid system for two main scenarios: to be safe when in transit, and to be safe when approaching the ground, the firm stated “.
The feedback from the California operational processes will be used to increase the drone service.
Autonomous drone delivery is being worked on by a variety of companies, ranging from new startups to major tech firms such as Google parent Alphabet.
