[From KQED Science] Drones have been making headlines this year, and not in a positive light.
They’ve blocked aircraft trying to battle wildfires. Two have dropped down near the White House. Last month in Pasadena, a drone crashed near a stroller, cutting and bruising an eleven-month-old girl.
The Federal Aviation Administration is ultimately responsible for managing drone traffic, and is looking at how to develop regulations. But before drones can be used more widely, someone has to build a system that can track them and evaluate their flight plans, with an eye to where they should and shouldn’t be going. | aerospace |

Looking back on them, I can see that each was written for a specific purpose. I love numerical modeling. Applying math and physics to a problem and working through a derivation to create a final model puts me in my natural habitat. Then I enjoy embodying that model in code and exercising it to get answers. For me, that's what Engineering is all about. The rigid body equations of motion, which all flight simulations are based on, are just such a system. When I first started writing flight simulations, I didn't fully understand them. In all of the texts I could find, the derivation of the equations was incomplete, with skipped steps and lots of confusing hand waving. In recent years, I've gone back, collecting as much as I could from disparate sources, and I now have the only complete derivation of the equations of motion that I've ever seen. It's liberating to finally understand them from front to back.
Naval Air Engineering Center:
The first flight simulation I wrote was in my first real engineering job, in the Advanced Systems Group at the Naval Air Engineering Center. We did a lot of Operations Research work in that branch, studying complex systems, creating techniques for analyzing them, and then improving or optimizing them. The paper at the right, written by our Branch Head and his Deputy, is a good example of that work. (Click on any image on this page to see a larger version.) As one of our analysis tools in the branch, I created a 3 degree-of-freedom flight simulation that predicted only the longitudinal motion of an aircraft. The dynamic model included catapult tow forces as well as constrained motion along a curved surface. Using it, we could analyze the requirements that different aircraft placed on the sizing and use of a catapult. We could also see the effect that a curved, ski-jump shaped, flight deck would have on the launch of any aircraft, and how its use could affect the size of the flight deck and the length of the catapult. Applying the program to foreign aircraft carriers, we could predict the size of the largest aircraft they could launch. I took the simulation with me to my next assignment, in the Research and Development Department. There, with some modifications, we used it to evaluate possible future aircraft/ship combinations, to determine whether aircraft carrier sizes could be reduced or mission effectiveness increased. I was very pleased to find the program still in use by the department a few years later. In its last incarnation--that I know of--I used the same simulation as the basis for a Visual Landing Aid design and analysis system. Combined with a pilot model and a random number generator, we could use the system to analyze aircraft carrier visual landing aids, generating touchdown point distributions along the arresting portion of the flight deck. That's a good amount of mileage from one simulation.
Naval Air Development Center
Later, I transferred to the Navy's Flight Dynamics Branch at the Naval Air Development Center. There, they used flight simulations for their most basic purpose--evaluating and improving aircraft flight dynamics, flying qualities and control harmony. They gave me the assignment to create a new simulation for the group. The simulation embodied a decoupled, 6 degree-of-freedom (3 DOF longitudinal, 3 DOF lateral/directional), linearized model. They already had a coupled, 6 degree-of-freedom, non-linear simulation in the group, and they wanted this new model for comparison purposes. I wrote the report at the left on the new simulation, comparing its predictions with those of the non-linear model. The results were interesting. The linear model would match the non-linear model during a control deflection. But then, as one would expect, with increasing simulated time, the linear response would slowly diverge from the non-linear response. At the time that I wrote this simulation, the group was doing a lot of work with the McDonnel-Douglas T-45 Goshawk. The figure to the right shows one plot from the report: the T-45's response to a rudder doublet, as predicted by both models. Note the small differences in the responses and the increasing difference between the curves as time marches on.
My next flight simulation was for a very focused purpose. I joined a group that was creating the world's first fully autonomous UAV control system. For our work, we needed a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation. That kind of simulation is used to make a system think that it is connected to a real device. In our case, we wanted our airborne control system to think that it was flying in a real airplane. With the HIL simulation, we could develop and test the airborne control system in the lab, on the workbench. I created a 6 degree-of-freedom, non-linear flight simulation of the UAV, and added to it realistic dynamic models of a gimbal and camera. Written carefully, I found that the simulation could run many times faster than real-time on our 20 MHz PC. We eventually increased the realism of the simulation even more by adding models, generating realistic errors and noise, of the sensors and actuators on the aircraft. Even with those added, it still ran faster than real-time. Here is a paper that I wrote on the simulation for a computer programming conference and a video of the simulation in action:
Analytical Methods, Inc.
I recently wrote another hardware-in-the-loop simulation at Analytical Methods, Inc. That simulation was created for the laboratory development of their collapsible-wing, man-portable UAV. We had a full set of aerodynamic data for the aircraft, assembled from wind tunnel and CFD analyses. I wrote the simulation to sample that data at runtime, providing a fully nonlinear simulation that could reproduce the aircraft dynamics over the full range of airspeeds and attitudes, including departures from flight in the post-stall and spin regimes. Having never had a full aerodynamic data set to work with before, I was stunned by the realism of the simulation's responses.
I'm currently creating a new flight simulation for my own use. I've included all of the lessons I've learned from developing past simulations and I can say that this is the best I've ever developed. The simulation is intended for many different uses, from open-loop, bare-airframe flight dynamics analyses to hardware-in-the-loop simulation. It assumes a round, rather than flat, Earth model and will correctly model a vehicle's dynamics from the surface up through orbit, so it can be used on aircraft or rockets. I've written the system so that new dynamic models, of gimbals, servos, engines, sensors, etc., can be added with very little effort. The program can communicate and be controlled by any other program, because its interface is the UDP stack. It will have a selection of "cabs" that can be used to operate the simulation, from the keyboard and joystick, from input files, from an A/D--D/A interface (for harware-in-the-loop work) or any others that prove useful. It will also have hooks to connect to FlightGear and X-Plane, for use as visualization systems. On my 2.13 GHz Pentium laptop, it currently runs about 2,000 times real-time. So it's perfect for use in developing intelligent systems, where full missions need to be flown or where many instances of the simulation (many aircraft, that is) need to be simulated at one time. The figure to the right is the output from a run controlled with the open-loop cab. Here, I'm simulating a Cessna 150 trimmed at an approach speed of 70 kts. A doublet input is applied to the rudder and then the aircraft is allowed to respond. In the "Body-Axis Velocities" plot, you can see the rudder input and the initial response of the aircraft, as the lateral velocity (v) oscillates and damps-out quickly. In the "Body-Axis Rotational Rates" and "Lateral/Directional Displacements" plots, you can see the "dutch roll" response of the aircraft, as motion around the vertical axis is linked to the motion about the roll axis. Aircraft "heading" angle is labeled "Psi", bank angle is labeled "Phi" and sideslip angle is labeled "Beta". The dutch roll damps-out quickly, which is a positive attribute for an aircraft, especially a trainer. After the dutch roll damps out, the aircraft enters into a spiral mode, as it rolls from the upright, accelerates and begins descending. This mode would be dangerous if the airplane were allowed to fly without any control input. But with a pilot at the controls it's not an issue. The spiral mode diverges so slowly that the pilot will correct for it without even knowing that it's happening.
I'll be using this simulation to create new UAV control systems. If you'd like to use it for your work, I intend to offer copies of the simulation for sale after it's complete. Stay tuned. | aerospace |

A flight around the world takes a long time; especially when it's not as the crow flys. And if the submersibles are already deployed in some other ocean or at some naval base that's more for research/training and thus isn't near an air strip, then it's going to take a while to get them on to a cargo plane, let alone actually move them.canoebuildah said:The premise is unrealistic; the US Navy with has sumbersibles that can rescue submariners from any nations sub.

A single engine Cessna 172 airplane flipped over while taking off this afternoon at the North Palm Beach County Airport, west of Palm Beach Gardens.
Three people in the plane escaped without injuries, said Fire Rescue Spokesman Capt. Albert Borroto. He said it wasn’t clear whether the plane actually made it off the ground before it flipped over.
Dispatchers reported that the aircraft flipped over just after takeoff and that fuel was leaking. Crews arrived about 4:30 p.m. to the airport, in the 11600 block of Aviation Boulevard, off the Bee Line Highway.
The aircraft is registered to Sparrow Aviation LLC in St. Louis, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
WPTV Chan. 5 reported that strong winds, likely caused by Tropical Storm Debby, caused the plane to flip over. A woman who answered a call at the airport said that airport officials were not available for comment.
The cause of the incident is currently under investigation, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.

The X-Band Acquisition Aid (XAA) was designed for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory for initial acquisition and tracking of deep space spacecraft using an X-Band beacon. The XAA successfuly acquired the NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous), MGS (Mars Global Surveyor), MPF (Mars Pathfinder), and Cassini spacecraft. After acquisition, the XAA passes the look angles to the JPL 34m or 70m antenna for TT and C The XAA is mounted on the rim of the 26m antennas at Canberra and Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complexes.
The XAA consists of a 4ft antenna reflector, an all waveguide 4-horn monopulse tracking feed, LNAÕs, and up and down converters. The broad beamwidth of the antenna makes it ideal for signal acquisition. The XAA uses the existing 26m servo system which has a faster angular velocity than the 34m for the high velocity launch of a spacecraft. The design provides right hand or left hand circular polarization. The feed is a three channel monopulse producing a sum, X error and Y error channel which are used to position the antenna toward the received signal. The system receives the X-Band beacon in the 8.2 GHz to 8.5 GHz frequency range which is amplified, downconverted to IF and transferred to the multifunction (tracking, telemetry and ranging) receivers in the tracking station operations building.
The multifunction receivers generate the error voltages which control the drive system of the 26m antenna, enabling it to autotrack the spacecraft. The tracking parameters from the XAA are supplied to the 34m or 70m systems via the Tracking Data Interface. The XAA is designed to acquire spacecraft at elevations down to 10.5 degrees above the horizon and at ranges up to 37,000 km.

In this video, Prof. Dr. Ali Elham, chair of aircraft conceptual design, Institute of Aircraft Design and Lightweight Structures, is going to tell you our path towards finding the optimum configuration for flying vehicles.
How should the future transport aircraft look like? To answer this question, we have to look at current transport aircraft and ask why they look like this? A tube as fuselage, two wings almost in the middle, two or four engines mounted under the wings, and two horizontal and one vertical tail at the end.
There is no way to prove that this configuration is the best possible configuration for transport aircraft. Why? Because it is not! We design and build them like this because we are used to it for decades! We know how to do it and we know it will work safely. So, there was no need to bother and change! Well, at least by now.
But now, there is a need to change the configuration of transport aircraft. Why? Because we are in a great need for reducing the emissions of aviation, and we almost reached the maximum potential of emission reduction with the current configuration. If we need more reduction, we have to think of other configurations. So far, there are coupled of different configurations suggested by aircraft designers. Which one is the best? We do not know! Each has its own pros and cons! Even if we can compare all of them and find the best one, it does not mean that there is no other configuration can be found, which is better.
So, let’s solve it once and for all: Is there an optimum configuration that we can find? Or asked differently: We want to transport a given amount of payload over a given amount of distance using the available technologies. How should the aircraft look like to minimize the energy consumption? | aerospace |

May 5, 2010
The Hill -- Bipartisanship key for the future of space program
By Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) and Rep. Suzanne Kosmas (D-Fla)
While we are encouraged the president showed a willingness to make some changes to his proposal for NASA during his visit to Florida, members of Congress from both parties still have concerns.
These concerns include the readiness of the commercial space industry to fill the role the president envisions, and how to minimize the risk to the International Space Station, which after more than a decade of construction and $100 billion in investment is about to realize its full research potential.
Flying the remaining shuttle missions this year before determining the equipment necessary to preserve the space station and extend its service from 2015 to 2020 as planned creates substantial, unnecessary risks. That is a critical point because losing the space station would be devastating. We would lose a crucial source of new research capability, including experiments currently planned by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Agriculture as well as a study of cosmic rays with implications for deep space exploration set to deploy this fall. Loss of the space station would also seriously undermine the case for maintaining a human space flight capability because the space station provides the destination for manned space exploration in the short and mid-term while we work on new technologies to reach deeper into space.
As leaders, we must craft our space policy with that risk in mind. We must begin with an understanding of the equipment needs of the space station measured against the non-shuttle crew and cargo capabilities available today and expected in the next few years in order to reduce the risk of losing the station after the shuttle is retired. We believe it is possible to pursue a path that minimizes the short term risks to the space station, leverages the billions of dollars in taxpayer investments in the Constellation program and still allow for increases in scientific research, technology development, and a bold exploration goal. We can even pursue these alternatives without any increase to the proposed budget. The nation does not face a binary choice between the status quo and the president’s budget proposal.
One alternative we have proposed would be to slow the flight rate of the remaining space shuttle missions and move those flights into next year and possibly 2012 while manifesting the planned backup flight with an available cargo capability. We can use this time to complete a detailed assessment of the spare and replacement equipment needs and provide for carriage to the space station if our analysis shows limits in other cargo vehicles. This modest measure would not call for increases to the number of shuttle flights, but instead would simply space them so the gap for America to deliver people and critical cargo to the space station under our own power would be narrowed considerably.
In addition to stretching out the current shuttle schedule, we need to reconsider the proposal to cancel the Constellation Program as an option for successor technologies to replace the space shuttle. The program has struggled due largely to funding issues; however we should not turn away from billions of dollars of research and years of engineering. It is possible to build on our current capabilities, ensure earlier availability, and control costs.
The options include
utilization of the shuttle infrastructure and the work that has already been
done in the Constellation program to develop a new heavy lift vehicle that can
be brought online sooner and upgraded as technology evolves. The options
also include a reformed Constellation approach with proper funding and strong
oversight from Congress to bring the capabilities online sooner than the
current program provides. Simply put, combining a limited future shuttle
capability with an evolutionary heavy lift vehicle or a rigorously reformed
Constellation program would shrink the gap in our human space flight
capabilities from both ends while reducing the risk to the space station.
We agree with the president that science and research should be enhanced for the future of space exploration and have outlined at least a few ways increased funding for these activities can be accomplished within the budget proposal while preserving our current capabilities with the least risk possible to the space station as both a research center and a destination underpinning our current human space flight activities. There is room for increased investment in commercial space activities as the president proposes, although as a redundant capability to a NASA owned and managed human space flight capability and at a level with less risk to the American taxpayer should the commercial market struggle to develop. We are confident we can find a bipartisan common ground on alternatives that represent a comprehensive space policy if the president and our colleagues will work with us.
Hutchison is the ranking Republican on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
Kosmas is a member of the House Science and Technology Committee. Kennedy Space Center is located in her district.

Strapped to a Boeing 747, the shuttle flew into the Bay Area at approximately 10:15 a.m. and made two passes over the Golden Gate Bridge before making its way down into Southern California.
Students and staff on campus craned their necks skyward, hoping to catch a glimpse of the shuttle, while some crowded the roofs of buildings like Evans and McCone halls.
UC Berkeley junior and mechanical engineering student Ben Butler traveled with his housemates up to Grizzly Peak in order to get a better view of the passing shuttle.
“I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see a space shuttle on the back of a 747, flying 1,500 feet above Berkeley,” he said. “It was cool and very unique. Seeing something that was 30 years in the making is a pretty big deal — it’s not your everyday plane.”
NASA said the Northern California flyover was meant to commemorate the contributions that the Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley has made to the Space Shuttle program, according to a NASA press release.
In service since 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour flew its last mission on May 16, 2011, after president George W. Bush announced the retirement of the Space Shuttle program in 2004. | aerospace |

Innovation has shaped the American economy since the founding of our nation. The Wright brothers and other visionaries created the aviation industry and developed the aircraft manufacturing processes. Today, we stand at the dawn of a new renaissance in aviation. Drone operators across the country are testing the limits of what is possible, and it’s clear we’re only seeing the start of what we can accomplish with this technology. We must follow the path blazed by those aviation pioneers and do all we can to foster this innovation and tap into the full economic and societal benefits of unmanned vehicle systems.
Two years ago, a Federal Aviation Administration regulation went into effect that opened the door for businesses and individuals across the country to fly unmanned aircraft systems, or drones, for commercial purposes. Since the small drone rule, also known as Part 107, was promulgated, more than 170,000 platforms have been registered for commercial purposes and more than 100,000 people have obtained a Remote Pilot Certificate. Generally speaking, under Part 107, operators need to fly under 400 feet, within visual line of sight and during daylight hours.
However, recognizing the need for the rule to be flexible, the FAA created a waiver process to complement Part 107 that allows for expanded types of operations, such as nighttime or beyond line of sight operations, with the approval of the agency. The waivers provide a glimpse at how the drone industry hopes to move forward. An analysis of the nearly 2,000 waivers approved over the last two years found that they were granted to operators across the country, and nearly 92 percent were for nighttime operations. Of the waivers granted to provide inspection and photography services, 95 percent went to small businesses with annual sales of less than $1 million. However, the FAA also granted 191 waivers to first responders who seek to go above and beyond the regulation to keep their communities safe.
The FAA recognizes the tremendous potential of expanded UAS operations and has encouraged the use of these waivers. However, the waiver process isn’t a long-term solution. It can take up to 90 days for an operator to receive a waiver. The newly implemented Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) program will address some of these delays, as it automates the application and approval process for requests to fly in controlled airspace up to 400 feet. Yet operational waiver requests – such as requests to fly at night or beyond visual line of sight – are still being processed manually and can take months to review and approve. Additionally, the FAA advises operators to first seek an operational waiver before seeking an airspace authorization when both are needed.
We need a streamlined regulatory framework that allows for expanded operations without having to approve them on a case-by-case basis. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for flights over people was anticipated to be issued more than a year ago, but this next regulatory step has been indefinitely delayed due to security issues. Remote identification could help address these concerns by providing a way to identify and track operators and owners of UAS flying in the airspace – in real time. However, an NPRM for remote identification is not expected until next year, and a final rule is still in the distant future. Until we move forward with rulemaking for remote identification, flights over people and other expanded operations, the goal of further integrating drones into the nation’s airspace remains stalled.
Although more needs to be done, we are making progress in other areas. The Trusted Operator Program, a program to certify professional remote pilots and training organizations to demonstrate reliability, safety, professionalism and gain trust in the UAS industry, will provide its first certifications to operators next month. And in May 2018, the FAA selected 10 participants for a pilot program to help develop a federal policy framework to further airspace integration. This new program enables state, local and tribal government entities to conduct critical research about drone operations while maintaining federal authority over the airspace. The data this pilot program will collect will help inform future rulemaking, inspire expanded operations and allow states and localities to provide input to the FAA to keep our skies safe.
Whether UAS are testing medical deliveries in Reno or providing a new dimension to Drake’s concert tour, the past two years have demonstrated the clear demand for expanded operations from both the public and private sector. Now, sustained industry-government collaboration is needed to foster innovation and allow operators to tap into the full potential of drones.

Do astronauts get gamma radiation?
On Earth, most people are familiar with ultraviolet radiation’s harmful effects on our skin, but in space, astronauts are also subjected to galactic cosmic rays, accelerated solar particles, neutrons and gamma rays, according to the research published this week in the journal Science Advances.
Who did the moonwalk first?
Dancer and singer Jeffrey Daniel was a member of the R&B group Shalamar and pioneered the dance move the backslide — which, after he taught it to Michael Jackson, became known as the moonwalk.
What year was the moonwalk?
It is 9:30 p.m. Houston time on July 20, 1969. Armstrong and Aldrin put on their bulky moon suits and prepare to take the first steps on the moon.
Can you rot in space?
If you do die in space, your body will not decompose in the normal way, since there is no oxygen. If you were near a source of heat, your body would mummify; if you were not, it would freeze. If your body was sealed in a space suit, it would decompose, but only for as long as the oxygen lasted.
Are gamma rays harmful?
Gamma rays are a radiation hazard for the entire body. They can easily penetrate barriers that can stop alpha and beta particles, such as skin and clothing. Gamma rays have so much penetrating power that several inches of a dense material like lead, or even a few feet of concrete may be required to stop them.
How did MJ died?
On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson, one of the most commercially successful entertainers in history, dies at the age of 50 at his home in Los Angeles, California, after suffering from cardiac arrest caused by a fatal combination of drugs given to him by his personal doctor.
Is it hard to moonwalk?
The moonwalk looks effortless when done properly, but it’s actually quite tricky to perform well. The moonwalk is considered an intermediate to difficult dance move; if you don’t have dance experience already (and even if you do), it may take you awhile to master this step.
Can you moonwalk on the moon?
Would it be easier to moonwalk on the moon? The Explainer says “absolutely not” and attributes this to the awkwardness of walking on the moon. The article gives an example of Earthly legs being too powerful as the “astronaut’s hop”. The explainer also says it is awkward because of the pressurized space suits.
Why is moonwalking so hard?
Like most things that look effortless, the moonwalk is tough to master. Keeping your leg straight and your foot flat while dragging it requires a lot of balance and precision. The timing of lowering one heel while dragging the opposite foot must also be exact.
Can you moonwalk on carpet?
Most dance floors will work, of course, but so will most kitchen floors. Stay away from rough or uneven surfaces or carpeted areas. If you don’t have any smooth surfaces in your home, then you’re better off using shoes on a rough surface than socks.
Do you age in space?
Scientists have recently observed for the first time that, on an epigenetic level, astronauts age more slowly during long-term simulated space travel than they would have if their feet had been planted on Planet Earth.
What are the risks of walking on the Moon?
Risks Of Walking On The Moon. There are many risks when walking on the moon. you could run out of air or you could jump to high and fall. Your heating and cooling system could break or you might not be able to find your ship.
What was the risk of the Apollo 11 mission?
Apollo 11 Moon Landing Carried Big Risks for Astronauts, NASA. Then you throw away levels of safety by going into Earth orbit, then going to the moon, orbiting around the moon. And then, on the landing missions, two of the guys going down to the surface and being at an absolute dead stop on the moon.”.
Is the Moon a dangerous place to live?
Mike Lemanski. Beyond the obvious hazards that arise from a rocket flight, zero-gravity nausea and a risky landing, the moon itself can be deadly. When the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon, the dust clung to their spacesuits, scratched their visors and made their eyes water and their throats sore.
Why was NASA worried about going to the Moon?
As NASA’s Apollo missions were being planned, there was concern that the lunar module might sink right into the surface or become stuck in it. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin walks on the surface of the Moon near a leg of the lunar module during Apollo 11. | aerospace |

According to a senior company official, Boeing will seek to boost international sales in its overall defence business from 10 per cent last year to 25 per cent by 2013.
This shift in focus comes as hard economic times indicate incremental growth in the domestic market.
Boeing is looking at GCC states, as well as India, Japan and Australia, as countries heavily invested in military aircraft programmes.
"Right now we see the Middle East and Asia-Pacific in a recapitalisation phase, and there is a historic window of opportunity where they are looking to upgrade and procure new capabilities," said Chris Chadwick, the president of Boeing Military Aircraft.
The UAE is set to become the world's third-largest operator of Boeing C-17 heavy lift military transport aircraft, after the US and UK, with deliveries for six planes starting this year. "We will deliver four this year and two next year," Chadwick said.
According to industry estimates, Boeing is set to earn up to $11.4 billion worth of orders for equipment, long-term logistical support and training from the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait on pending and recently closed aircraft sales. | aerospace |

Apollo 8 was the first manned mission to the Moon, although its mission was only to fly past and not to land. The crew consisted of Commander Frank Borman, Command Module Pilot James Lovell and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders. This mission also saw the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket.
Apollo 8 was originally planned as an Earth-orbit mission to test the Lunar Module and Command Module, but was upgraded to a Lunar mission in August 1968. Some sources claim this change was made in response to the Soviet lunar missions such as Zond 5 and Zond 6, but other sources regard the deciding factors as being hardware and construction issues and/or time pressure to achieve the "end of the decade" deadline. | aerospace |

Huge bellows of smoke could be seen throughout Karachi
In a video assertion, he mentioned: “The final we heard from the pilot was that he has some technical drawback.
“It is a really tragic incident.”
A senior civil aviation official has informed Reuters it appeared the plane was unable to open its wheels as a result of a fault previous to touchdown.
Shocking footage taken from the scene and shared on social media reveals an enormous cloud of black smoke filling the air from the wreckage.
The plane was carrying 107 individuals
In between the thick smoke, a number of homes and buildings have been severely broken, and particles could be seen lining the streets.
It is being reported the plane crashed into as many as 5 residential addresses close to to the airport.
Karachi-based journalist Khurram Ansar wrote on Twitter: “PIA Plane Airbus 320 crash near Karachi Airport, hits 4 to 5 houses.”
It is known the plane got here down close to a residential space in Model Colony moments earlier than touchdown.

Cornell Auditorium last night, a panel of World War II veterans spoke of their experiences fighting the war as part of a program entitled, “Face to Face: The USAAF Revisited.”
The five panelists were Dave Cutting ’48, Frank Collyer ’48, Jack Krieger ’49, Prof. Chester Freeman ’40, and Major Wilbur Sovocool ’50.
Prof. Major R. Byron Breese, aerospace studies, organized the presentation and introduced the panelists.
“Many veterans die everyday” Breese said. “I really thought that this would be a great opportunity to have everyone hear their stories and to meet some of them. I thought that this would help to connect them with younger people.”
Each panelist spoke for approximately 15 minutes, telling stories of specific missions flying for the United States Army Air Force, originally called the United States Air Corps, and the process they went through in order to become pilots.
“The ecstasy of flying is like no other,” Cutting said. “It is just complete freedom.”
Cutting, who spoke first, entered Cornell in 1941. In 1942 he enlisted in the Air Force, less than a year after the Pearl Harbor attack.
Collyer, a friend of Cutting from flight school, also shared stories from his time in the Air Force. In one story, he recounted his close encounter with death, as he had to bail out of his plane while it rapidly plunged from 6000 to 2000 feet.
“I found my life raft and waited an hour and half to be picked up,” he said. “As I waited, I tried to catch a fish — there was a small pot waiting for the first man who caught one.”
Krieger followed Collyer and went into detail about the specific plane he flew, the B-26.
Amongst the various nicknames he said there were for the plane, “the widow maker”, “the flying coffin” and “A tisket and tasket a double engine casket” were some that he said correctly described the morbid aura around it.
Freeman spoke about his experience flying the B-29, the biggest plane flown during World War II.
“There were 2200 horsepower in each engine, a total of 8800 horsepower in each plane, 8600 gallons of gasoline, and ten tons of napalm to burn Japanese cities with,” Freeman said. Freeman, who was twenty-eight years old during his time in the Air Force, also recounted one particular mission in which he flew. It was the last mission of World War II, eight days after the bombing of Hiroshima and 5 days after Nagasaki.
“All the B-29’s were sent up on a conventional bomb raid,” he said. “Halfway back to our base the emperor told his generals that they had to quit. It was here that we heard the war was over.”
Sovocool was the last veteran to speak and also the only one who did not fight in World War II, but rather served during the Cold War. Sovocool was also part of the first Air Force ROTC class that graduated.
In the question and answer session that followed the presentation, the panelists were asked if they felt the bombing of Pearl Harbor had any effect on their or other’s enlistment in the Air Force.
“My roommate, on December 10th, enlisted in the Air Force as a ground officer,” Collyer said. “Every seat in my lecture room here was basically empty. It didn’t take very long.”
Major R. Breese is organizing another lecture that will feature Dawn Seymour ’39, a member of the Women’s Air Force Service Pilots, who also flew during World War II. The lecture will be held in March during Women’s History Month.

Consider this: We hold the No. 1 spot for private-sector aerospace workers per capita; we are home to the second-largest aerospace economy; and more than 500 space-related companies and suppliers do business here.
The Colorado Space Coalition – an industry affiliate of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation – works to bring aerospace companies and talent here and was at the Space Symposium – the premier U.S. space policy and program forum and the “must attend” opportunity for information on and interaction among all sectors of space – in Colorado Springs this spring.
There’s work happening every day that makes Colorado a standout in this industry, and it’s not just the Colorado Space Coalition’s clever tagline. Here are four ways Colorado’s aerospace companies are launching innovative ideas and work:
Earlier this year, DigitalGlobe’s parent company, Maxar Technologies announced it will move its global headquarters to Westminster, Colorado, and will bring 800 jobs with it. From here, they provide the world with the satellite technology for GPS tracking that we use on our smartphones every day.
Headquartered in Centennial, United Launch Alliance (ULA) is the nation’s most experienced space launch company, with more than 120 consecutive launches and a 100 percent mission success rate. In 2018, ULA began flights of its Atlas V rocket, carrying Boeing’s Starliner capsule in support of NASA’s Commercial Crew program, which will return astronauts to space from U.S. soil.
Spacecraft and Ports
Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) is building the next generation of spacecrafts: Its Dream Chaser is a winged, lifting-body spacecraft designed for missions, including cargo resupply to the International Space Station for NASA. And, Colorado has applied to be home to a spaceport in Adams County. If Spaceport Colorado achieves operational status, the Dream Chaser could land here. For scientists, researchers and medical personnel, the benefits of the near-immediate accessibility afforded by runway landings are unmatched.
Mission to Mars
Virtually every space-related company in Colorado is working on the mission to Mars. NASA’s Mars 2020 mission will be launched by ULA, with the Mars rover scheduled to land in 2021 for a two-year exploration of the Martian surface. Lockheed Martin Space Systems will build the aeroshell and heat shield that will protect the rover during its journey to Mars and descent to the planet’s surface. SNC’s Space Systems will build critical hardware for the rover.
These are just a few examples of Colorado aerospace business in action. Of course there are many other major uses, including military defense and rocket science (literally). For more information on what makes Colorado a mile closer to space, visit the Colorado Space Coalition’s website for the most recent news on projects.

The Korean War Hero F4U4 Corsair has a legendary history. She served two tours on two different carriers. She has the distinction of flying over 200 combat missions from June thru October 1951 aboard the USS Boxer (CV21), VF884 Naval Reserve Squadron from Olathe, Kansas.
This squadron was known as the “Bitter Birds” using the Kansas Jayhawk on their jacket patch. This squadron patch emblem consisted of a dragon holding a shield which had a golden triangle and a checkerboard stripe.
The golden triangle signified the large percentage of Pittsburgh-area pilots in the squadron. The checkerboard stripe salutes skipper Lt. Cmdr. Cook Cleland’s two victories in the Cleveland National Air Races, who won both times with Corsairs.
From about 1960 to 1970, the aircraft flew with the Honduran Air Force. In 1970 it was sold to an American Airline pilot and brought to the USA. Joe and Jim Tobul bought the airplane in 1981 and started a long rebuilding project.
Ten years later Korean War Hero proudly flew again on
December 8, 1991, fittingly over the Pittsburgh skies. | aerospace |

Kertajati Airport itself is currently being prepared to become a center for logistics activities, aircraft maintenance (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul / MRO) as well as serving embarkation and debarkation of Hajj and Umrah.
In line with this, AP II focuses on increasing flight traffic for cargo airlines at Kertajati Airport.
Recently, Trigana Air has officially operated a special cargo plane (freighter) to transport cargo to and from Kertajati Airport starting March 8, 2022. The inaugural flight of Trigana Air was inaugurated directly by the Minister of Transportation Budi Karya Sumadi.
"This is a good move. Even though it's still in the middle of a pandemic, now every day there are flights at Kertajati. Even on a certain day there are two fully loaded cargo flights," explained the Minister of Transportation.
AP II President Director Muhammad Awaluddin said cargo transportation was a sector that was still growing amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The aviation sector in general is still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for passenger transportation. Meanwhile, cargo transportation is still increasing. Therefore, the Ministry of Transportation together with AP II and all stakeholders, focus on preparing Kertajati Airport as a center for logistics activities, including the development of cargo transportation, "said Muhammad Awaluddin.
Meanwhile, Trigana Air's operations follow the airline Asia Cargo, which has opened flight routes to and from Kertajati Airport since December 2021.
Muhammad Awaluddin said the operation of these two special airlines to transport cargo indicated that Kertajati Airport had an attraction for the national logistics sector.
"The movement of cargo transportation has begun to be seen at Kertajati Airport along with the operation of two airlines that specifically carry cargo," said Muhammad Awaluddin.
Trigana Air's Commercial Director Daniel Kurniawan said the potential for cargo transportation at Kertajati Airport is very good because of its strategic location. Currently, Trigana Air serves cargo flights on domestic routes.
Plt. Kertajati Airport EGM Nuril Huda said cargo flights at Kertajati Airport are served every day.
“Trigana Air serves flights every day or daily, as many as two flights per day. Meanwhile, Asia Cargo serves flights on Tuesdays and Saturdays, each one flight per day," explained Nuril Huda.
He said the carrying capacity of each cargo plane for one flight is 15 tons for various purposes. The types of cargo transported are mostly goods/products from e-commerce.
President Director of PT Bandara Internasional Jawa Barat, Muhamad Singgih, said that in the near future, it is likely that there will be additional special cargo flights at Kertajati Airport for international routes.
"Currently, cargo flights are for domestic routes and there will be flights on international routes," said Muhamad Singgih.
The growth of e-commerce has indeed become one of the drivers of increasing the volume of cargo transportation at AP II airports. In 2021, the volume of cargo transportation at AP II airports will cumulatively reach 859,330 tons, an increase of about 20.53% compared to 2020 of 712,990 tons.
AP II is currently preparing to develop the Cargo Village area at Soekarno-Hatta Airport and Kertajati Airport in order to optimize the potential in the cargo transportation sector. | aerospace |

From the early Babylonians, who viewed the Universe as a flat disk floating in the ocean; the great Greek philosophers, who modeled the motion of the heavenly bodies; to the modern astronomers, including Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton, the nature of our Universe has been a topic of utmost fascination.
Several masterpieces of modern literature, from the works of H.G. Wells to Arthur C. Clarke, as well as cinema, most notably “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “Interstellar” delve deep into the possibilities space travel brings and have captured the imagination of the people with their gripping tales of space adventure.
But it was only around the middle of the Twentieth Century that men were able to send a spacecraft into outer space, when Sputnik 1 was launched by the Soviets in 1957 to orbit the earth. This iconic journey paved the way for a flurry of other probes to stretch further and explore the rest of the solar system, including the Apollo 11 mission, which saw Man land on the Moon for the first time. The initial space missions were dominated by a developing competition between the USA and the Soviet Union, and both sides sent out several spacecrafts in this period, including the Explorer and Apollo missions of the US Space Program, and the Sputnik mission of the Soviets.
The probes sent out to explore can be broadly classified as Flyby’s, which fly past astronomical bodies; Orbiters that orbit a body; Landers that descend to a celestial body’s surface; and Rovers to move on their surface. The first successful interplanetary flyby was the 1962 Mariner 2 flyby of Venus. Subsequently, flyby’s of all the planets of the Solar System has been accomplished.
Rovers have been sent to the Moon and Mars, where they have been used to find out valuable information and collect samples from the body’s surface. Lunakhod 1 was the first successful rover which landed on the moon in 1970. More recently, the rovers Opportunity and Curiosity were sent by NASA to explore the planet Mars, and also to help determine whether the Red planet could have once supported life.
Only five probes have ever gone beyond the realms of our Solar System, namely Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11 and New Horizons. Of these, Voyager 1 is farthest from the Earth, and is still operational and returns data. Its initial objective was the flyby of Saturn, Jupiter and Titan, which it accomplished successfully. It has now crossed the Heliopause, which is the boundary of the region of space dominated by the Sun, and is now hurtling away from the Earth and the Sun at a relatively faster speed than any other probe.
Interestingly, The Voyager space probes contain a phonograph record in case the spacecraft should encounter intelligent beings from another planetary system. The disc contains several photographs of the Earth, greetings in over 55 languages and a wide collection of music, from the works of Mozart to Chuck Berry.
Another instrument that plays an important role in observing and discovering new objects in our Universe, albeit at a distance, is the Space Telescope. These gigantic optical devices are located in outer space, most orbiting the Earth, and serve as observatories which receive electromagnetic radiations of a certain frequency range, and provide valuable information regarding distant astronomical phenomenon.
The Hubble Space Telescope is one of the largest and most versatile of space telescopes. With a 2.4-meter mirror, Hubble has recorded some of the most detailed visible light images ever. It has also led to breakthroughs in astrophysics, such as accurately determining the rate of expansion of the universe. | aerospace |

Delta Air Lines and United Airlines suspended service between the U.S. and Israel indefinitely Tuesday. US Airways scrapped its one flight to Tel Aviv Tuesday. Several European airlines, including Germany’s Lufthansa and Air France, also suspended flights. The actions come days after a Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine with 298 people on board.READ MORE: 'Survivor 41' Episode 6: The Merge Part 1
Following the action by the U.S. airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration issued a NOTAM, or Notice to Airmen, prohibiting U.S. airlines from flying to the Tel Aviv airport for 24 hours.
“The notice was issued in response to a rocket strike which landed approximately one mile from Ben Gurion International Airport on the morning of July 22, 2014. The NOTAM applies only to U.S. operators, and has no authority over foreign airlines operating to or from the airport,” the FAA said in a statement. “The FAA will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation. Updated instructions will be provided to U.S. airlines as soon as conditions permit.”
Earlier Tuesday, a Delta Boeing 747 from New York was flying over the Mediterranean headed for Tel Aviv when it turned around and flew to Paris instead. Flight 468 had 273 passengers and 17 crew on board.

United Airlines canceled its two daily flights to Israel out of Newark Liberty International Airport, according to spokesman Rahsaan Johnson.
“We are suspending operations to/from Tel Aviv until further notice,” said United spokeswoman Jennifer Dohm. “We are working with government officials to ensure the safety of our customers and our employees and will continue to evaluate the situation.”
US Airways canceled its flight to Israel that was due to leave from Philadelphia.
“We are in constant contact with the FAA and are monitoring the situation closely,” said Casey Norton, spokesman for US Airways’ parent company American Airlines. The airline has not yet made a decision about flights to Israel scheduled for Wednesday and beyond.
Israel’s Transportation Ministry called on the airlines to reverse their decision and said it was trying to explain that the airport was “safe for landings and departures.”
“Ben-Gurion Airport is safe and completely guarded and there is no reason whatsoever that American companies would stop their flights and hand terror a prize,” it said in a statement.
Isaac Yeffet, the former head of security for El Al Israel Airlines, believes that planes should still be flying into Israel despite the rocket strike that landed near the airport, CBS 2’s Alice Gainer reported.
“We need to end this war, but it doesn’t mean that Israel is so weak that the world has to be afraid that Israel will be destroyed,” he said.
Israeli police said a rocket fired from Gaza landed near the airport, damaging a house and wounding one Israeli. Police spokeswomen Luba Samri said Tuesday’s rocket landing was the closest to the airport since fighting began on July 8.
Tova David was on sitting on the tarmac preparing to take off on Tuesday’s midday El-Al flight from Tel Aviv to JFK when she and fellow passengers had to get off the plane and rush into the airport because of the rocket, WCBS 880’s Alex Silverman reported. | aerospace |

NASA Ingenuity Photos of the Particles of Perseverance
The images function Perseverance’s backshell and supersonic parachute that helped the rover land and safely make it by way of Mars’ environment. Whereas the touchdown was an enormous success, these elements took some anticipated injury on the descent.
“Perseverance had the best-documented Mars touchdown in historical past, with cameras displaying all the pieces from parachute inflation to landing,” mentioned JPL’s Ian Clark, former Perseverance methods engineer and now Mars Pattern Return ascent part lead. “However Ingenuity’s photographs provide a special vantage level. In the event that they both reinforce that our methods labored as we expect they labored or present even one dataset of engineering data we are able to use for Mars Pattern Return planning, it will likely be superb. And if not, the images are nonetheless phenomenal and provoking.”
The parachute itself contained a secret message that was decoded final 12 months, and it was found to function the key message “dare mighty issues,” the motto utilized by the Perseverance workforce.

July 28, 2022 / 6:38 AM
Sharjah24 - Reuters: Russian space officials have informed U.S. counterparts that Moscow would like to keep flying its cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) until their own orbital outpost is built and operational, a senior NASA official told Reuters on Wednesday.
Taken together with remarks from a senior Russian space official published on Wednesday, the latest indications are that Russia is still at least six years away from ending an orbital collaboration with the United States that dates back more than two decades.
A schism in the ISS program seemed to be closer at hand on Tuesday, when Yuri Borisov, the newly appointed director-general of Russia's space agency Roscosmos, surprised NASA by announcing that Moscow intended to withdraw from the space station partnership "after 2024."
Kathy Lueders, NASA's space operations chief, said in an interview that Russian officials later on Tuesday told the U.S. space agency that Roscosmos wished to remain in the partnership as Russia works to get its planned orbital outpost, named ROSS, up and running.
"We're not getting any indication at any working level that anything's changed," Lueders told Reuters on Wednesday, adding that NASA's relations with Roscosmos remain "business as usual." | aerospace |

The Outlook of Business Aviation in 2008
While no one can know for sure what the future will bring in terms of trends in business aviation, it is reasonable to assume that there will be some similarity between the way that business aviation has progressed over the previous couple months and the way that it will continue to progress in 2008. Here are some observations on the current outlook of business aviation and how the industry has recently changed and is expected to continue changing.
Results over the previous quarters have been mixed, with things such as flight activity, aircraft shipments, pilot certification and registration applications variably rising and falling. Flight activity and center activity have both been on the grow over the past couple months, though only by the amount of around one percent. The amount of avgas sold during 2008 grew by approximately 16 percent, although not all numbers are in at the time of this writing.
For certificate issuances in the aviation world, the numbers of certificates issued has recently differed according to the level of the certificate, with issuances of many types of certificates being down significantly from previous figures. Private issuances of certificates were down by 18 percent. CFI ratings were issued less, with another similar decrease of 18 percent. Instrument ratings were issued 19 percent less than they had been previously, and issuances of commercial certificates were down the most, with a drop of twenty five percent. Not all certificate types dropped off this year, however: student issuances as well as ATP issuances were both up, with student issuances rising by 13 percent and ATP issuances rising by 23 percent to show solid growth in those sectors.
Aircraft shipments were much the same as they had been over the previous year and are not expected to undergo any quick changes over the initial months of 2008. While the aircraft shipment figures for 2007 were almost exactly the same as the figures from the previous year, a one percent drop could be seen when comparing the total U.S. shipments of aircraft. The number of single-piston aircraft shipped was also somewhat behind. However, aircraft registrations have increased somewhat over 2007 and can be expected to continue to increase somewhat, with the most recent available figures for 2007 indicating that aircraft registrations are up by 5,236.
This was a good year for flight safety as the number of accidents was down by 19 percent over the second quarter of 2007. More recent numbers on the accidents for later quarters was not available at the time of this writing. The number of accidents that the aviation industry experiences in a year is in large part the result of the overall level of flight activity, but it appears that recently accident levels have fallen while flight activity and control activity has increased, indicating that new safety measures and an overall sense of safety awareness have significantly improved the safety of the aviation industry. This creates a great outlook for aviation safety as we enter into 2008! | aerospace |

AL UDEID AIR BASE, Qatar — Russian fighter jets have flown dangerously close to American warplanes in eastern Syria over the past month — including one near-collision — in what American
officials say is a pattern of daily Russian violations of an agreement to separate rival forces converging on the last main pocket of Islamic State militants in the country.
Every day, an American Air Force officer calls his Russian counterpart at an air base in Latakia,
Syria, to head off, or “deconflict,” as the military says, any potential problems over Syria.
“The greatest concern is that we could shoot down a Russian aircraft because its actions are seen as a threat to our air or ground forces.” The setting was similar last June in southern Syria, when American warplanes shot down a Syrian Air Force Su-22
and two Iranian-made drones after they had threatened American-backed militia forces.
President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia declared on Wednesday
that the Islamic State in eastern Syria had suffered a “complete defeat” — a boast that American officials said exaggerated Moscow’s role and seemed to ignore the contentious efforts to rout the remaining 3,000 Islamic State disciples still on the run.
The Air Force pilots showed restraint, but given that the actions of the Su-24 could have reasonably been interpreted as threatening to
the American aircraft, the F-22 pilots would have been with their rights to fire in self-defense, officials at the Qatar air base said.
Syria said that There’s risk there,
Syrian Army troops backed by Russian air power and Iranian militia are advancing along the western side of the river; Syrian Arab
and Kurdish fighters, supported by American warplanes and Special Operations advisers, are pushing along the eastern river banks. | aerospace |

CNet reports: “An asteroid the size of a car was discovered the same day it made a close approach to Earth, coming closer to the surface than the ring of large telecommunications satellites in geosynchronous orbit.”
InterestingEngineering has more: “Due to its proximity to the Earth, 2022 YO1 is classified as a Near Earth Object (NEO), and it could hit the Earth during one of its future orbits. According to NASA’s page, on December 17, the asteroid flew at a relative velocity of 34,450 miles an hour as it zipped past the Earth. As per estimations of its next orbit, 2022 YO1 could fly as close as 3,380 miles (5,439 km) exactly two years from the day it was first spotted.”
What if 2022 YO1 hits the atmosphere?
What happens if 2022 YO1 hits Earth? Likely nothing. 2022 YO1 is too small to be anything other than a shooting star, but it’s nice to know somebody’s watching the skies for a big one! 2022 YO1 was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey, a NEO Observations Program to identify 1 kilometre (0.62 mile) or larger objects.
In fact, If you want to drop into a DEEP ASTRONOMICAL RABBIT HOLE – start digging into all the objects being tracked by the Catalina Sky Survey, including 2006 JY26, which might hit Earth in 2073. NASA has more to say about this. The Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor is the first space telescope specifically designed to hunt asteroids and comets that may be potential hazards to Earth.
This is of deep interest to me since one of the main characters of Mike.Sierra.Echo is an asteroid – 2340 Hathor is an eccentric stony asteroid, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid. It’s going to be used as the counterweight to Mike’s space elevator with world-changing, universe-impacting results!
Mike Sierra Echo is a fact-based science fiction adventure that explores the real-world challenges of building this extra-terrestrial technology. Scientists have been researching space elevators since the 1800s, but there are still many unsolved problems. Once you learn about those areas of exploration, you’ll be invited to ‘nerd out’ about current discoveries and new opportunities to fill in the blanks on space travel, nanotech, and artificial intelligences. I’m building a plan on what that looks like, right now.
We don’t know what the future holds but it’s fun to imagine what might happen. Keep your eyes peeled for Mike Sierra Echo by joining the Inkican Crew and keep watching the skies! | aerospace |

Nav Canada, the not-for-profit civil aviation corporation, has been criticized for the decision by Markham’s mayor and the airport’s general manager, arguing the ATC tower is an important fixture for safety in the airways and on the ground.
“Safety is of the utmost importance and this decision is irresponsible and not in the public’s interest,” said Scarpitti. “I understand there is (sic) criteria that may work in other parts of Canada, which are remote, but this is a densely populated area with a flight path over the congested provincial Highway 404.”
According to Ron Singer, Nav Canada’s national manager of media relations, safety was not only a consideration in the decision-making process, but the top one.
“(Safety) is the most important thing,” he said. “Nav Canada’s mandate really is safety. That’s what we do. We provide safe service for planes flying in the sky and that type of service varies accordingly.”
Nav Canada commissioned an aeronautical study of Buttonville airport, including comparisons to facilities of similar size and traffic. The report concluded that closing the tower would not impact safety. Transport Canada, the federal government agency that gets the final say, concurred with Nav Canada’s assessment.
The government wouldn’t have approved a plan that wasn’t safe, Singer said.
“It is a rigorous process,” he added. “If it posed any increase to the safety risk, it wouldn’t be done.”
Of the 1,000 airports in Canada, only 40 have air traffic control towers. However, critics of the closure note that most of those airports don’t have to contend with proximity to Canada’s largest airport, Toronto Pearson International Airport. Also utilizing Buttonville with regularity are the air services of the Toronto and York Region police services, as well as the Ontario Provincial Police and Ornge medical transport service.
While those are no doubt considerations, they factored into the aeronautical study, Singer said.
“The safety of the flight paths of aircraft currently operating at and around the Buttonville airport were reviewed during the aeronautical study,” he said. “These flight paths are safely used today, even during the hours that the control tower is closed.”
Instrument flight rules aircraft will be monitored offsite at the Toronto Area Control Centre. Though the majority of flights coming into and leaving Buttonville operate under visual flight rules, which already operate without requiring air traffic controllers.
One hitch that wasn’t a part of Nav Canada’s plans for Buttonville is the future of the airport itself.
Cadillac Farview and Armadale, which own the land on which the airport sits, have been spearheading a $29 billion redevelopment of the property that would involve closure of the airport. Earlier this year the airport closure was further delayed to at least spring 2023, an announcement from the developers said.
Scarpitti said the delay could lead to an increase in usage, prompting further safety concerns.
While Singer acknowledged the possibility, he said Nav Canada will reevaluate traffic on an ongoing basis and has the option of increasing service if the airport experiences an uptick. | aerospace |

The successful landing of NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover bore a testimony to Indian-origin women’s contributions to NASA’s space odysseys in their respective roles and capacities. Other than Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams who created history in space, Dr. Madhulika Guhathakurta, the lead program scientist for NASA’s ‘Living with a Star’ initiative; Dr. Anita Sengupta, a leading aerospace engineer at NASA; and Sharmila Bhattacharya, the head of NASA’s Biomodel Performance and Behavior laboratory have been instrumental in propelling the United States’ space expeditions.
NASA’s Indian-origin workforce includes two interns, Pratima Roy and Pooja Roy. The Roy sisters have been interning at NASA Glen Research Center since Fall 2020 and working on the STEM projects that tie into the Artemis program – NASA’s ambitious mission to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024. What fetched the Roy sisters global attention is their deep obeisance to Indian culture and Hinduism. They firmly believe that the opportunity to intern at NASA is a divine blessing. The blog of NASA quotes them saying:
“God observes everything we do and what we want in our lives and a dream can actually come true!”
Pratima Roy and Pooja Roy are sophomores at New York City College of Technology. They are majoring in computer engineering. The project that Pratima Roy, among the interns at NASA, is working on requires her to learn Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Biomimicry and Amazon Web Services. She is working on designing and defining robotic tasks that will need to be completed in order to gather and collect data when astronauts will travel to the Moon. Her project ties into NASA’s Moon to Mars mission. Rewriting the code is one of the first steppingstones in her STEM journey.
Apart from this Indian-origin intern duo, Subhashini Iyer, a mechanical engineer from Tamil Nadu, is working on the same project but in a different role. Head of the Integrated Product Team at Florida’s Kennedy Space Center, Subhashini Iyer is responsible for overseeing the Space Launch System, the world’s most powerful rocket for NASA’s return to the Moon after about 50 years. | aerospace |

The US space agency is planning to launch a new free-flying robot to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2017 and the space agency wants you to suggest a name for it.
The winner of the challenge will receive £600.
"We have this new free-flying robot that we are building. We do not know what to call it. 'Free-flying robot' sounds kind of boring so we are asking you to actually name the robot for us," said Jason Crusan, director of NASA's Advanced Exploration Systems division.
The second runner-up will receive £300 while third and fourth-place winners will get £150 each.
The new robot will join other free-flying robots on the ISS to be used on the orbiting outpost.
"These 'free-flying robots' will eventually extend the research and exploration capabilities of astronauts, as they are capable of working during off-hours and (eventually) in extreme environments," NASA officials said.
To participate in the challenge, register on the website of Topcoder, a company that administers contests in computer programming, Space.com reported.

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit.
It is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998.
Now the largest artificial body in orbit, it can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth.
The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components.
ISS components have been launched by American Space Shuttles as well as Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets.
In 1984, the ESA was invited to participate in Space Station Freedom.
After the USSR dissolved, the United States and Russia merged Mir-2 and Freedom together in 1993.
The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology, human biology, physics, astronomy, meteorology and other fields.
The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars.
Since the arrival of Expedition 1 on 2 November 2000, the station has been continuously occupied for 13 years and 346 days, the longest continuous human presence in space.
(In 2010, the station surpassed the previous record of almost 10 years (or 3,634 days) held by Mir.)
The station is serviced by a variety of visiting spacecraft: Soyuz, Progress, the Automated Transfer Vehicle, the H-II Transfer Vehicle, Dragon, and Cygnus.
It has been visited by astronauts and cosmonauts from 15 different nations.
After the U.S. Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, Soyuz rockets became the only provider of transport for astronauts at the International Space Station, while Dragon became the only provider of bulk cargo-return-to-Earth services (downmass capability of Soyuz capsules is very limited).
The ISS programme is a joint project among five participating space agencies: NASA, Roscosmos, JAXA, ESA, and CSA.
The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.
The station is divided into two sections, the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the United States Orbital Segment (USOS), which is shared by many nations.
The ISS maintains an orbit with an altitude of between 330 km (205 mi) and 435 km (270 mi) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda module or visiting spacecraft.
It completes 15.51 orbits per day.
As of January 2014, the US-portion of the ISS was funded until 2024, and may operate until 2028.
The Russian Federal Space Agency, Roskosmos (RKA) has proposed using the ISS to commission modules for a new space station, called OPSEK, before the remainder of the ISS is deorbited.
The Russian ISS program head, Alexey B. Krasnov, said in July 2014 that "the Ukraine crisis is why Roscosmos has received no government approval to continue the station partnership beyond 2020."
ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews, following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut, Almaz, and Mir stations, and Skylab from the US.

|Caption||March's Point Airfield - Ford Tri-motor|
This Ford Tri-motor airplane #9612 is viewed at March's Point airfield. "In 1927, Ford Motor Company produced the Ford Tri-motor, one of the first all-metal airplanes. It was often referred to as the TIN GOOSE or FLYING WASHBOARD. It was the first plane created to carry passengers rather than mail, with a seating capacity of 12. As the name indicates, the airplane had three engines, which allowed it to fly higher and faster than other airplanes of the same time period. The Tri-motor could reach speeds up to 130 miles per hour. A Ford 4-AT-15 Tri-motor monoplane, piloted by Berndt Balehen, was used in the first flight over the South Pole in November of 1929." This plane may have been at the airport opening, or it was probably the one reported by the 8-8-1929 ANACORTES AMERICAN; the latter Ferd Brady rode and may have taken some of his aerial photos of Anacortes. The plane's number is different in the newspaper article, but it is only off by one number and may have been simply a mistake. "Many local people motored to airport Tuesday to view the tri-motored Ford monoplane, ' West Wind', N.C. 9112, which landed in Anacortes Tuesday. ... This is one of the most powerful planes ever built by the Ford company. ...[It] has a wing spread of 74 feet and is 49 feet 10 inches long, with a total wing area of 785 feet. It is 12 feet 8 inches high. It has a gasoline capacity of 235 gallons, weighing 10,000 pounds when loaded. Wednesday afternoon the large plane took a party of local people to Mount Baker."
Included in the 45 minute flight were Ferd Brady, Fred Abbey, Ed Mooney, Fred March, Mrs. Post, Virgil Neeley, the pilot Art Walker, and six other local citizens. The plane was owned by Mamer Flying Service, Felts Field, Spokane.
WF 2074-2099 represent more than just the history of a small airfield and the inauguration of air service to Fidalgo Island. They also signify the island's participation in the global phenomenon ignited by Charles Lindbergh's historic transatlantic flight in May 1927. The first "flight" from march's Point, the first area of white settlement on Fidalgo seventy-five years earlier, had taken place almost forty years before. The 9-14-1889 ANACORTES PROGRESS reported, "Professor Carey gave a talk on astronomy at Munk's Hall. Sent up a hot air balloon: quite a success: Rose up 2000' and went to northeast ... came down on Reservation." The 6-14-1928 ANACORTES AMERICAN reported that the Kiwanis Club had leased land from Fred March for a 2000' airstrip. The 8-2-1928 issue reported on the airfield's inauguration. 10,000 spectators attended the event and witnessed planes fly in from the Puget Sound region. An "airplane" marriage took place between Richard Fenno and Minnie Kirkman, who exchanged vows during takeoff. The airport was the result of Anacortes Civic Club's year-long efforts to establish an airport on March's Point and thus be at the forefront of the changes brought by air travel which reshaped the regional economy.

He lives in London and enjoys the personal space and privacy that the city is known for. When not misdirecting tourists to nonexistent landmarks, Malcolm is likely to be writing science fiction and fantasy. A member of the furry fandom, he won the 2012 Ursa Major Award for Best Anthropomorphic Short Fiction. Malcolm’s blood-type is O-positive, and he has a cough. Not long, now…
by Malcolm Cross
This is easy, I think, as I begin to prepare to attach the latest addition to my long-running (and suffering) space station in my current game of Kerbal Space Program. All I need to do is eject the engines, then separate the command module from the fuel pod, then open the command module’s shielded docking port so I can redock on the fuel storage pod’s rear docking port (exposed now that I’ve gotten rid of the engines) and finally guide the pod to my station’s upper docking port.
In shorter, layman’s terms, I’m taking the nose of my rocket — where the little green alien astronauts sit — and sticking it on the back end, so I can plug it into my space station facing the right way around.
Space missions? They’re complex undertakings, even when they’re part of the charmingly simplified Kerbal Space Program. Experience helps, and I’m lucky enough to have been playing since early 2012, shortly after the game introduced the Mun, the moon above the Kerbals’ home planet of Kerbin, but before the introduction of Kerbin’s second, mint flavored moon, Minmus. (Minmus only looks mint flavored. Please do not eat the scientific samples.)
The physics are a little simplified and Kerbin’s a little small, about a tenth the size of Earth, making it easier to get around, much more forgiving in terms of time and distance — a mission to the Mun can be completed in a half hour, rather than the eight days it took Apollo 11 — but the key elements are still there. The things about space and orbital mechanics that are incredibly counterintuitive. The things that, as a consumer and producer of science fiction, I’ve obsessed over all my life.
Did you know that, in orbit, the more you speed up, the slower you wind up going? It’s true. If you want to overtake a satellite, you have to drop your orbit beneath it, by slowing down. If you want to slow down and get behind it, you have to lift your orbit by accelerating.
In a geosynchronous orbit you’re going at around three kilometers a second, fast enough to carry you around the Earth in just about twenty-four hours and make you a fixed point in the sky, stationary relative to the ground. A low orbit on the other hand, like the International Space Station’s, carries you along at more than seven and a half kilometers a second, and you go around the Earth in ninety minutes while almost skimming the atmosphere. You have to accelerate march harder to reach the high, ‘slow’ orbit than you did to reach the low, ‘fast’ orbit.
This made no sense to me at first, even if the many helpful YouTube tutorials the player community’s made helped me work it out eventually, but the technical details aren’t what Kerbal Space Program’s all about. It’s about experiencing space the way a child learns — by playing with their toys as imaginatively as they can. Kerbal Space Program’s the best toy chest of rocket parts any child, or adult, can get their hands on.
Hard Science fiction often claims to be about the facts — that usually means dry numbers and mathematics — but in reality, I think Hard SF’s about the experience, and short of going into orbit, Kerbal Space Program’s the way I’ve gotten a glimpse of how it feels to be up there. What it’s like watching the way objects in space twist and turn as they bump into each other, how dizzying it is to turn your viewpoint around and transform something towering over you into a horizontal plane.
So here I am, in orbit, preparing to dock my new fuel pod to my station. It’s peaceful — I didn’t expect that, not at an orbital velocity of over two kilometers a second. Carefully maneuvering around, with just a feathery touch here and there, everything feels slow, almost dreamily trapped in amber. I’m only moving at a rate of inches a minute, relative to the fuel pod.
Naturally, like a good writer, I pull out my notebook and start making notes about how this illusion of peaceful stillness feels for the next bit of space-based writing I’m working on. Unfortunately, without realizing it, all this time I’ve been approaching my space station at about four hundred meters a second…
Oh well. There are always more rocket parts in the toy chest, right? And besides, explosions make for great science fiction. | aerospace |

Martian surface analysis
MetadataShow full item record
The present remote sensing techniques in planetary atmospheres use well known transitions ranging from the microwave to the UV with large successes and due to Rayleigh scattering in dense atmospheres. Few environmental sensors are designed to operate below 280 nm. In the Mars atmosphere, however radiation down to 200 nm can certainly reach the surface and can be used as a source for gaseous composition observations Also, penetration of solar UV-B and C in planetary atmospheres is an important element in determining the sterile character of the surfaces and has to be simulated using atmospheric models demanding a knowledge of UV radiative transfer. An other use of UV radiation could be the in-situ spectrometry of gases, ices and minerals using specialized lamps allowing thus nighttime and subterranean observations The status of the UV spectroscopic data base is discussed. Existing UV sensors on approved missions to Mars will be described with emphasis on their astrobiological implications.

Last Monday, the company published a video showing a computer simulation of an astronaut's first flight due in 2020. “SpaceX will soon show Crew Dragon's ability to carry safely and reliability of astronauts to and from the International Space Station, ”said the company.
In the recording, there are two astronauts boarding the Crew Dragon spacecraft. One of Crew Dragon's main functions will be to take astronauts to the International Space Station. In this sense, SpaceX will use its Falcon 9 rocket to propel the Crew Dragon off our planet.
In the video, after a successful docking to the International Space Station, the device breaks up and returns to Earth.
Before the video appeared on SpaceX's YouTube account, the company's founder Elon Musk posted a portion of the video on his Twitter account. “The first Falcon 9 / Dragon 2020 manned flight simulation,” he wrote.
Eight years ago, in January 2012, Musk published a video showing a simulation of a Falcon 9 rocket flight with the Dragon spacecraft. “Eight years later, the simulation is practically real,” Musk responded to this post.
In October, NASA administrator Elon Musk and Jim Bridenstine said their idea of bringing astronauts into space from the United States was still underway and could be completed in early 2020.
However, they warned that there is still critical work to be done, but they were still sure there would be a release soon. "If everything goes according to plan, it will be in the first quarter of next year," said the NASA administrator.
The first trip of this mission is expected to be made by astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.
The Crew Dragon is a fully autonomous spacecraft designed to take up to seven astronauts to the International Space Station and other destinations. The ship can be monitored and controlled by SpaceX's crew and control center in California, United States. | aerospace |

A simulated AEGIS Baseline 9 configured ship engaged a low flying cruise missile target with an SM-6 missile, based solely on targeting data provided to the ship by the sophisticated sensors carried by a Marine Corps F-35B. This test is yet another example of how the Surface Force and its Marine Corps partners are extending operational horizons, distributing lethality, and increasing offensive fire power.
The NIFC-CA program has been making steady progress for several years, and carrier strike groups have deployed with the capability since March 2015. However in those strike groups, the elevated sensor was an E-2D linked back to the ship in a Cooperative Engagement Capability network. In essence, this lethal capability was limited to CSG operations by its reliance on the E-2D.
In this recent test, the elevated “sensor” was the F-35B, which relayed its data back to the test “ship” through the Multi-Function Advanced Data Link (MADL). This test hints at the promise of future Surface Force lethality, in that F-35B configured LHA’s or LHD’s will not only be able to employ those aircraft in traditional ground support roles, but will now be able to sense, target, and destroy low-flying cruise missiles or strike aircraft far beyond the horizon.
Consequently, AEGIS Baseline 9 ships, equipped with SM-6 missiles, like the one used in this test will be able to accept fire control data from any variant of the F-35 in the future. This will allow for long-range surface-to-air engagements when part of a traditional CSG, as part of an “up-gunned ESG” Adaptive Force Package alongside our Marine Corps partners, or even as part of a Joint integrated fire control engagement with U.S. Air Force F-35A’s providing the target location. | aerospace |

Huge astronaut passes by earth today
The Slooh telescope broadcast live images of the large asteroid QE2 as it passed by earth today. Viewers can still view these images, even though the asteroid is no longer being broadcast live. QE2 came within 3.6 million miles of the earth at 3:59 Friday.
Briefly, the asteroid is, as commented by one observer, the "size of a small town." It has a smaller satellite moon. If it were to hit earth, human beings and the current civilization on earth would probably be completely destroyed.
You can watch QE2 as it passes earth on the following web site.
There are also excellent science articles on the Slooh telescope web site.
Mars pebbles caused by water flows
Additional science news which is being reported this week: the BBC reports that Mars pebbles are almost certainly made by water, perhaps 3 billion years ago. If the presence of water is confirmed on Mars, then there may be life on Mars now or in the past.
This is great material for science fiction writers.

JULY 14, 2016 – GCR Inc.’s new AirportIQ Safety Management System (SMS) is one of the most efficient ways to comply with upcoming Federal Aviation Administration safety requirements. This week the FAA released a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) for Safety Management Systems at certificated airports. The new FAA SMS program focuses on airport safety policy, risk management, assurance, and promotion in order to proactively identify hazards and deploy risk management principles into day-to-day operations.
Starting early next year, about 260 small, medium, and large hub airports will need to implement a formal approach to managing safety. To help airports comply with the new FAA SMS rules, GCR Inc. recently released AirportIQ SMS. Part of the AirportIQ suite, this software solution was built with input from leading airport operations professionals, airport risk managers, and GCR safety experts who have been creating airport operational safety software for over 15 years.
AirportIQ SMS integrates the safety risk management (SRM) and safety assurance components into Part 139 and normal day-to-day hazard reporting. It also guides airports in the formal, systematic approach to identify hazards and control risks associated with planning, development, and standards proposals. It offers a flexible, easy-to-use set of tools that guide risk management in alignment with the new Part 139 external SMS and Office of Airports internal SMS requirements. AirportIQ SMS allows the FAA and airport sponsor to work together to conduct safety risk assessments, control risks, and avoid duplicating efforts.
For more information or to schedule a demo for your airport please make the request below.
For over 30 years GCR has brought technological innovation to the aviation industry through its AirportIQ software that is used in over 65 airports worldwide, including Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, JFK, and LAX. | aerospace |

The Hawker 750’s biggest advantage is in its cabin, a fuselage-stretch modification first enjoyed by the -800 series. The cabin measures 21.3 feet-long, 5.7 feet-high and 6 feet wide, almost comparable to the class above. This space is plenty big to accommodate seven or eight passengers, a forward galley, a roomy lavatory, and a closet and baggage compartment. For even more amenities, the cabin comes equipped with the Airshow 21 cabin management system, providing user-friendly, LCD screens at every seat and VIP control of cabin temperature, light and entertainment systems. Superior travel is inevitable in the Hawker 750’s cabin.
Evolution is what makes Hawker aircraft so successful. In 2006, the midsize 850XP made significant improvements in performance and accommodations. True to form, the 900XP retains all of the 850’s advanced traits (fuel efficiency, aerodynamics, comfort, performance capabilities), but better.

Reasonably, aviation accidents involving big airplane such as airline jets hardly ever take place compared to the variety of accidents involving smaller sized, private airplane, which are more regular than the majority of people recognize due to the fact that the majority of these airline company occurrences are unreported.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight is anticipated to double over the next Twenty Years. As air traffic boosts, the threat of an aviation accident also increases.
Aviation mishap law covers both significant air provider and basic aviation accidents. General aviation includes all non-commercial aircraft consisting of little plans, big service jets, charter flights, satisfaction crafts, helicopters, and hang gliders.
Types of Aviation Accidents
Airplane mishaps include not just crashes, however likewise events on aircrafts that cause injuries, such as falling baggage, assaults, and other associated occurrences.
The types of mishaps that can trigger injury to travelers and crew consist of:
- Crashes and accidents
- Accidents taking place on the runway and throughout transportation to and from planes
- Accidents due to air traffic control error and miscommunication
- Shifting baggage during flight or on the runway falling on individuals
- Pilot carelessness
- Mechanical failure
Liability in Aviation Accidents
Identifying who is at fault in an aviation accident will often need the abilities and understanding of a skilled aviation accident legal representative.
In aviation accidents that took place in Los Angeles, responsible parties vary depending on the cause of the mishap. The owner and operator of the aircraft and the makers or maintenance providers may be held accountable; even the federal government may bear some duty in an aircraft mishap.
Vicarious Liability – Owner or Operator
If carelessness or recklessness can be shown, airplane owners and operators will be held liable for the damages suffered by victims, including passengers, people on the ground, and even the pilot throughout an accident. If the airplane was being operated by another individual however not the owner when the mishap took place, the owner might still be held accountable under a legal theory called vicarious liability.
Strict Liability – Producer
The maker of an airplane can be held accountable if the victim of a mishap can prove that a flaw in the product (the airplane) or a part triggered his or her injuries. This is referred to as stringent liability. It is important to keep in mind that liability laws differ from state to state.
Relative Fault – Both the Owner/Operator and the Manufacturer
In many cases, both the pilot and the maker are held liable for an aircraft accident. This is called relative fault. The jury needs to determine the percentage of liability attributable to each of the offenders.
For example, a pilot may be 35 percent at fault for losing control of an airplane, but the maker might be 65 percent at fault for faulty landing equipment. A lot of states use comparative fault and distribute the blame between the 2 parties.
Liability of the Federal Government
Air traffic control is a primary task of the federal government, which is under the duty of the FAA through the Air Traffic Control System (ATC). If an airplane accident includes a collision, the ATC might be held accountable and included in the case as an offender in litigation.
Typical Providers Liability
Airlines fall under the legal category of a typical carrier and governed by a different, more stringent, standards than are personal providers.
Typical airline are under the FAA’s obligation being the concept federal company entrusted with managing air carriers and enforcing standards, operating treatments, and keeping an eye on the aircraft. Discovering liability of common carriers will need an understanding of the intricate guidelines and guidelines.
The Function of Attorneys in Aviation Accidents
Injury cases involving aircrafts need the competence of Los Angeles aviation mishap attorneys. Aviation litigation is complicated and often includes an analysis of state, federal, and potentially worldwide law.
Aviation accident cases likewise include numerous issues that might impact the result of lawsuits: the celebrations that might be named as offenders, concerns of venue, aviation engineering, market standards and federal government rules and regulations. In this case, it would be much better to leave the matter to the care of an experienced aviation accident lawyer. | aerospace |

So, we all knew it was coming, but now that it's here, what do you think about the International Space Station opening up for commercial uses?
Remember, the ISS was set to retire on or about 2024. That's 5 years from now--and another $17.5 billion, assuming an annual budget of $3.5 billion allocated to the ISS.
The first mission could come as early as 2020 for a price tag of over $50 million. Hell, that could be any amount above. But let's assume each mission brings in $50 million. Let's also assume that that will be the only mission booked in 2020. That one mission will only offset the $3.5 billion annual budget about 1.4%.
So, how many missions would it take to cover ISS' $3.5 billion annual budget--70 missions (straight math). Over 1 mission per week over 52 weeks? Doubtful. $10 million a day for five days or less in space? Who would do that? Who could afford that? NASA, that's who--because they're damn near spending $10 million a day over 365 days, thus, the $3.5 billion budget.
With, literally, only fifty thousand or so ultra-high-net-worth individuals who could afford such an endeavor without breaking their own banks as well as some businesses, it seems the demand for such flights by those who could afford it is limited. Reduce that limitation by those who would actually pass testing and training and the funnel narrows. And after experiencing it once, I would imagine that would probably be it for a lifetime, so few repeat customers here.
That's just the financial scope. I didn't even get into the age of the station, maintaining its integrity, or investigating alternative uses of the ISS budget. I just don't see this being viable, where mission revenue covers the ongoing costs of the ISS.
Lastly, let's talk alternatives. The ISS has been an outstanding learning vehicle and humankind wouldn't be able to reach farther into the stars without what we had learned there, especially the impacts of space on the human body. So, let's move on, shall we? To where? Mars. How? By retiring the ISS and using its budget, using the Orion budget, tapping the "new mission" budget, stealing from "other" budgets where possible, increasing NASA's budget annually, and continuing to partner with other space agencies and commercial groups such as SpaceX. If that didn't get us there, I would take a serious look at other programs in America's budget.
The mission would be as bare bones as possible: four people in stasis in the Orion or some other capsule perched on a rocket with a one-way ticket to Mars and another craft filled to the gills with "colonization" materials, i.e., shelter, food, water, clothing; the only experiment would be to see how long these astronauts survive. Supplies ships would keep coming as long as human life, even one, continued.
We could wait, plan, and save and maybe nothing catastrophic happens. But I think we already know that the human body is not made for space, Mars and other planets in our solar system impose enormous challenges for human life to continue there, and the solar system may not continue as it is today, thus the importance of looking for an Earth alternative. It will never be cheaper as is will right now and I believe this trip, success or disaster, will spur on new technologies, methodologies, and other advancements to get us where we need to be for eventual interstellar travel. | aerospace |

The airport, in a statement issued on Friday, confirmed the incident and revealed that the individual was subsequently handed over to the police.
Passengers experienced a delay on Thursday morning as the scheduled takeoff of the flight from Mexico International Airport at 8:45 a.m. was hindered by maintenance issues, as reported by the BBC.
Frustration among passengers escalated as they were made to endure a four-hour delay without ventilation or water, as indicated by a written statement signed by dozens of fellow travelers.
“The passengers were unhappy and one of them opened the emergency door and stepped out on the wing,” an incident report filed with airport authorities said, according to ABC News. “This event required the plane to be changed.”
Photos of the statement, posted online, conveyed passengers’ sentiments that the man’s actions were taken “to protect everyone, with the support of everyone.”
The airport said in a statement: “Yesterday a passenger on a flight to Guatemala opened an emergency door on a plane while it was stationary at a remote position, stood on a wing and then re-entered the cabin, without affecting the aircraft or anyone else.”
“In line with international security regulations, this person turned himself over to the authorities,” it said.
Approximately 77 passengers aboard AeroMexico’s flight to Guatemala, identified as AM672, signed the handwritten statement, which gained attention on social media. An incident report filed with airport authorities largely substantiated the passengers’ account.
Despite the incident, the airport authorities have not disclosed the man’s identity and have refrained from commenting on whether he is still in custody or faces charges. Flight tracking sites confirmed the delay of flight AM672 to Guatemala City, lasting four hours and 56 minutes on Thursday.
A video recorded aboard the flight captured scenes of passengers fanning themselves and requesting water from a flight attendant, highlighting the challenging conditions experienced during the extended delay. | aerospace |

I was pretty excited when I came across this site. I had always been a fan of aircraft from this time period. The Spanish Civil War was a turning point in military aircraft development. It started with biplanes and sesquiplanes that could barely crack 160 mph and ended with sleek monoplane fighters that could easily do over twice that. It was a time when people of many nations came together to fight for what they felt was right, be it socialist or nationalist. It was a testing ground for some of the most technical aircraft built at that time, while it was also the last gasp of certain aircraft types far past obsolescence. My current project is working on the .air file for the Dewoitine 371 and 372. I got most of the flight parameters down but it still has a nasty tendency to putt down the runway on startup. I am also working on a FS2002 to CFS2 conversion of a Loire 46 fighter (the original .air file was from a Nordyn Norseman--lot of work involved getting this one right). Anyways it's nice to know there are others out there like me. :)
PS-I'm not that great a pilot--I prefer to tinker with the airplanes more than flying; although there is a certain joy in blowing the wings off a Chirri with a NiD-52..." | aerospace |

It is true that NASA Langley in Virginia was bailed the two F8U-3 prototypes for sonic boom studies after the Vought program was canceled. One arrived on 26 May 1959 and the other a month later (the latter was primarily used for spares). Flight tests were accomplished through October 1959 (I don't know the date of the last flight) and both airplanes stricken a month later.
It is also true that there were F4Hs at Pax River during that time, No. 6 from 27 July to 13 August 1959 for NPE II, initial carrier suitability evaluation, and No. 3 in October, also likely for a couple of weeks, for NPE III, autopilot and air-to-air refueling evaluation. And Pax River and NASA Langley are not all that far apart.
However, No. 6 probably didn't leave the NAS Patuxent traffic pattern much, if at all, except on the ferry flight from St. Louis and the one to return.
I don't know whether there was any overlap between No. 3's visit to Pax in October and NASA's F8U-3 flight status; it's likely that there was and possible that they did tangle at least once.
However, NASA test pilot Donald Mallick flew some of the Langley F8U-3 flights as described in his autobiography (a pdf can be downloaded for free from this NASA website: www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/history/Publications/index.html).
In any event, given the relatively brief periods of overlap of the two types in the area and the intensive and controlled nature of the flight-test programs involved, it seems very unlikely that there was much opportunity for mock dogfighting. One of the two pilots would have had to have enough fuel after completing the test points on his flight card to go looking to bounce another fighter in his vicinity that turned out to be an F8U-3/F4H that happened to be airborne at the same time. | aerospace |

Airbus plans to use a different manufacturer's lithium-ion batteries in its new A350 aircraft, which like the 787 is projected to much more fuel-efficient than other planes. Airbus has no plans to drop the proprietary battery yet, but says it could change depending on what safety investigators recommend.
The Federal Aviation Administration grounded the 787 on Jan. 16, the day a smoldering battery forced an emergency landing of a plane in Japan and after a battery fire Jan. 7 in a parked plane in Boston.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said Thursday it found that the fire began in one of eight cells of the battery on the Boston plane. To find the cause, investigators are checking how the battery was charged, manufactured and designed.
Meanwhile, the FAA is reviewing the plane's entire design while focusing on the battery. The agency gave approval Thursday for Boeing to conduct test flights, to help figure out what went wrong.

"Airbus continues to study the progress of the NTSB and once conclusions and subsequent recommendations are made, we will determine if they apply to us," Airbus spokeswoman Mary Anne Greczyn said. "Until then, we remain very interested in the authorities' investigation."
Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier told French reporters earlier this month that the company prepared a backup plan for the lithium batteries if needed, but that he didn't want to give lessons to Boeing.
He said Airbus has time to make a change, if necessary before the first A350 deliveries expected in the second half of 2014.
The A350 is an all-new plane in three versions, with seating for 270 and 350 passengers in three classes. The plane is expected to use 25% less fuel and reduce carbon-dioxide emissions. | aerospace |

Waiting out the weather- July 25, 1909 Louis Blériot French aviator and crew were up early checking to see if the weather was going give him break today. Scanning the sky for any signs of clearing in the dense fog, that hung over the Channel. Blériot on crutches from injurers from a previous flying mishap, took a along look in the direction of the Channel threw his crutches to the ground and declared “I can’t walk but I can fly”, climbing into the cockpit of the tiny airplane he had designed and built the Blériot XI. And 27 miles and 45 minutes, later he touched down in DoverEngland. A major success for aviation. This feat won him a prize of £1,000 offered by the LondonDaily Mail and resulted in his emergence as one of the leading aircraft pilots and manufacturers of the era.

It may be confined to J&K, may be fought along the LOC, be a conflict on a small scale as in Kargil or even encompass the entire international border. It may be conventional or nuclear. Each level of war will be different from the other and it is difficult to predict the nature and scope of the conflict in the future. Wars will invariably be influenced by international equations. We will have to be prepared to fight internal wars against jehadis and terrorists. The spectrum of conflict is wide, and the demands on the military in a future war will be far more challenging, calling for responses that are swift and varied.
For the IAF to be a strong Aerospace Power, it is necessary to have strategic reach, networking and the capability to exploit space.
Wars have always been multi-dimensional and are increasingly so today. Future wars will require much higher levels of synergy between military power and civil authority. A new role for the military will be ‘military diplomacy‘. There will be a need for increased military exchanges and interactions between friendly nations. Organisational changes would be necessary to facilitate both civilian and military establishments to jointly take on both the internal and external security challenges.
Air Power played a significant role in World War I and matured by World War II. Thereafter, wars fought in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent witnessed the growing importance of Air Power and its impact on the outcome. With the capability of operating in an expanded envelope, the term Air Power was replaced by the more appropriate expression Aerospace Power with significantly enhanced role in any future war due to profound change in its inherent characteristics of Speed, Reach and Flexibility. In our context, there is a firm belief that the next war will be air led and that the end result will be contingent on what Aerospace Power is able to achieve.
Today, Aerospace Power is the primary tool of deterrence, and punishment if deterrence fails. Aerospace Power provides the capability to undertake graduated action. Earlier on, the pattern was that the land forces initiated action on the ground and Air Power was brought in later. Unlike in the past, in future wars, application of Aerospace Power will not only herald the commencement of war but will degrade considerably the capability of the enemy to fight even before land operations begin. We need to understand this shift in the nature of war and as to how Aerospace Power will impact national security. Technology now provides us the capability to undertake the complete range of operations concurrently with the air campaign to establish command of the skies. In the next war which may be short on account of political compulsions, for speedy results, application of Aerospace Power would be most expedient.
Aerospace Power will be the primary tool for projecting power beyond the shores of the country. So far the Navy has been showing the flag and will continue to do so, however, the IAF is now in a position to share this role.
…all aircraft in the IAF will ultimately have the capability to receive fuel in flight. This does not mean that we have aggressive designs. Our only aim is to protect our interests.
The IAF was established in 1932 to support the British Army which was fighting to subdue the Afghans. Over the years, the IAF has been living with a historical fact and mindset that the primary task of the IAF is to support the land battle. During the Second World War, there were hundreds of bomber aircraft operating from and through India, but none belonged to the IAF. They were all operated by the USAF or the RAF. The IAF was confined to tactical role of supporting the land battle. The mindset continued in the post-independence era and the IAF remained a Tactical Air Force. The strategic role was non-existent in the operational philosophy of the IAF. Now that India is emerging as a global economic power, there is an imperative need to change this historical perception and shift to strategic thought.
Considering the security dimensions, Aerospace Power can no longer remain tactical and by definition, it is not. The criteria for a force to be strategic or tactical is the end result. We now have the capability by way of hardware and we need to sustain the transition from the tactical to the strategic and progressively graduate from ‘continental strategy’ to ‘regional strategy’ and then on to ‘global strategy’. We need to look beyond our boundaries, beyond J&K and China. There is no denying the fact that problems in J&K will continue. Nevertheless we need to move away from the northern fixation and focus on newly emerging security concerns generated by the need to safeguard trade, commerce and sources of energy.
The IAF vision is that as the primary custodian of Aerospace Power, it has to contribute to national security of resurgent India. The IAF needs strategic reach to influence events in the region of interest. We now have SU-30 MKI and in-flight refuelling aircraft that provide extended range to our Jaguar, Mirage 2000 and Su-30 fleets. In fact, all aircraft in the IAF will ultimately have the capability to receive fuel in flight. This does not mean that we have aggressive designs. Our only aim is to protect our interests. We already are a trans-oceanic Air Force having shown our flag in Alaska, Europe, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, USA and Pakistan.
Aerospace Power of India requires to be strengthened further. We need more of long range cargo and strike aircraft. We need AWACS and more in-flight refueling aircraft. For controlling operations, we need radars, AWACS and extensive networking not only amongst IAF elements but with our maritime and land forces. For long distance command, control, communication, intelligence and surveillance systems, we need to explore the medium of space. For this we have been articulating the need of an Aerospace Command. Assets in space will have to be protected from enemy action. We should also have the capability to neutralise the enemy‘s network and his assets in space. As all the three Services are users of space, the proposed Aerospace Command must necessarily be a Tri-Service Command.
Aerospace Power needs to grow along with the nation otherwise there would be neither national security nor economic growth.
As we cannot be certain as to when Aerospace Command will be a reality, we cannot delay measures for the exploitation of space to meet new challenges. We therefore, now have a two-star rank heading a ‘core group’ at Air Headquarters that will study ways and means to exploit space as also build up knowledge and expertise.
For the IAF to be a strong Aerospace Power, it is necessary to have strategic reach, networking and the capability to exploit space. For this we need technology intensive hardware, advanced software, organisational structures and human resource. Hardware and software are relatively easy to acquire. Organisational structures can be created without difficulty. The most difficult and crucial aspect is human resource. To meet new challenges we need human resources that are qualitatively superior than we have had in the past. The new incumbent must not only be technologically oriented but must understand military diplomacy, international relations and the changing security paradigms. This new man should be able to exploit hardware, networking and space. To achieve this, we have modified our recruitment and training patterns. But the most important change is in the Trade Structure of airmen. The product of the new system will be equipped with multiple skills to take on the new challenges.
For our new role, we need new organisations, new structures and new level of synergy amongst civil authority, military establishments, defence production agencies, R&D organisations and the academic community. As a nation we are moving along the right path, not only with regard to economic growth but also to find our rightful place in the comity of nations. We as a nation have the strengths to meet the challenges, whether in the field of science & technology, R&D, production or war-fighting. Aerospace Power needs to grow along with the nation otherwise there would be neither national security nor economic growth. | aerospace |

It covers how drones work, what they are used for, and even some of the dangers associated with them.
How Drones Are Changing the Way We See the World
Drones are quickly becoming a staple in both the military and commercial sectors due to their unmatched flexibility and capabilities. Here we will explore how drones are changing the way we see the world.
The use of drones has already changed how we conduct war. No longer do soldiers need to put themselves in harm's way in order to gain intelligence or take out targets. This has not only made our fighting forces more effective but has also saved countless lives.
Drones are also beginning to be used more and more for commercial purposes. Delivery companies are experimenting with using drones to deliver small packages right to people's doorsteps. This could potentially revolutionize how we do business and ship goods around the world.
Perhaps the most exciting use of drones is in exploration and photography. Drones equipped with cameras can give us a whole new perspective on the world around us. They have been used to capture stunning aerial shots of natural wonders, giving us a bird's eye view that was previously impossible without spending large amounts of money on helicopters or airplanes.
As drone technology continues to improve, it is certain that it will continue to change the way we see the world in both positive and negative ways.
How Drones Are Being Used to Help People in Need
When a disaster strikes, the first responders that are sent to help are usually firefighters, police officers, and paramedics. However, there is a new type of the first responder that is starting to be used more and more: drones.
Drones are being used to help people in need in a variety of ways. For example, they can be used to quickly deliver medical supplies to remote or hard-to-reach areas. They can also be used to survey an area for damage after a natural disaster such as an earthquake or hurricane. And in some cases, they are even being used to rescue people who are stranded and unable to get to safety on their own.
The use of drones is not without its critics, however. Some people argue that they are too expensive and complicated to be used effectively in many situations. Others worry about the privacy implications of having drone cameras flying around constantly. But despite these concerns, it seems clear that drones are here to stay – and that they will only become more and more important in our lives as time goes on.
How Drones Can Be Used for Recreation and Fun
Drones are not just for work anymore. You can now purchase a drone for recreational and fun purposes! Drones have many different camera options that make it easy to take pictures and videos from the sky. They are also equipped with GPS, so you can easily track your drone if it gets lost. In addition, some drones come with pre-programmed flight paths, so you can easily set up a flight path and let the drone fly itself! | aerospace |

Congratulations to SpaceX for another Starlink launch of 60 satellites.
Techcrunch.com offered the following recap, “SpaceX has launched another 60 Starlink satellites — making 180 delivered to orbit in under two weeks — but the launch early Sunday morning was more notable because it set a new, key record for Falcon 9 rocket reusability. This marked the 10th flight of the first-stage rocket booster used for the launch, which sets a record for re-use for SpaceX as the rocket booster with the most successful mission under its belt…SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said it could be “possible” for a Falcon 9 booster to fly “100+” times with servicing and component replacement.”

At AERO INDIA 2007 the Russian Aircraft Corporation (RAC) "MiG" presents its latest multifunctional fighter - the MiG-35.
This aircraft available as both a single-seat and double-seat version joins the MiG unified family of “4++” generation fighter aircraft. At the heart of this family of aircraft is the MiG-29K/KUB fighter which is serially produced for the Indian Navy. The characteristics shared by these aircraft are so close that this has helped achieve the high degree of unification among various types of fighter aircraft, including single-seat and twin-seat version. All the MiG fighters from the new unified family are in the category of multifunctional combat aircraft.
The MiG-35 is capable of the following:
Winning an aerial dog fight with the best fighter aircraft in the world
Successfully counteracting existing and future attack aircraft and missiles
Destroying ground and sea-surface targets with high-precision weapons without the need to enter the enemy’s air defense zone
Conduct aerial reconnaissance using optic-electronic and radio technical equipment;
Participate in group actions and acting as the “control unit” for groups of aircraft.
By maintaining the best qualities of the MiG-29 (defined by its integral aerodynamic configuration and other structural features), the unified family of fighters has a number of key strategic features including improved combat effectiveness and survivability, open architecture avionics, improved operational performance and an expandable weapons suite.
The increased number of weapons the aircraft can carry and the larger fuel capacity have led to an increase in the maximum take-off weight of the MiG-35, the aircraft is best described as being in the medium fighter category rather than the light fighter category.
With respect to combat, flight and operational performances the MiG-35 is the optimal combat aircraft for those countries operating fighter fleets based on heavy, medium and light aircraft.
The MiG-35 is a real air warrior designed for repeated heavy duty operations during times of war. During the development of the aircraft special attention has been paid to the improvement of the following aspects of its operational performance:
Considerable increase of the reliability of the aircraft, engine and avionics
Service life extended to 40 years and 6000 flight hours;
Engine TBO increased to 1000 flight hours;
Cost per flight hour of the MiG-35 flight hour is almost 2.5 times lower than the MiG-29’s;
The MiG-35 is designed for on-condition maintenance with all the checking and servicing procedures to be performed directly by the operating unit, which adds to the combat readiness of the aircraft.
The setup of a dedicated service support center and consignment depot, which are due to become part of the integrated logistic support system, will dramatically increase the after-sales support for MiG fighter aircraft in India.
A big factor contributing to the improvement of the combat effectiveness and survivability of the MiG-35 is the airborne radio-electronic equipment based on new-generation technologies:
The MiG-35 is the first Russian fighter equipped with onboard radar which has active phased array radar (AESA radar). This radar has been developed by the “Phazotron-NIIR” Corporation as part of the “Zhuk” family of radars. RAC “MiG” is the world leader in operating phased array radars. The MiG-31, inducted by the Russian Air Force in 1981, was the first fighter with phased array radar in the world. The multifunctional “Zhuk” family AESA radar allows for a substantial increase in the detection range of aerial and ground targets as well as augmenting the number of simultaneously tracked and attacked targets.
A revolutionary feature of the MiG-35 is the integration of the most advanced optic-electronic sighting and targeting systems. The developers utilized unique technologies from the Russian space program when creating these systems. The MiG-35 is equipped with in-built multi-channel surveying-and-sighting optic-electronic system which has an extended range. The multi-channel optic-electronic station to be fitted to the aircraft in a pod allows for round-the-clock navigation, detection, sighting and reconnaissance.
The MiG-35 self-defense system includes the most up-to-date radio and optical devices ensuring timely detection and counteraction of enemy fighters and air defense.
The MiG-35s high combat effectiveness is predetermined by the following structural innovations:
Compared to MiG-29 the MiG-35 has a considerably increased fuel capacity, augmented by a number of external fuel tanks (up to 5) and an in-flight refueling system. The MiG-35 is capable of acting as a tanker-aircraft if equipped with the PAZ-МК refueling pod.
The increased number of external load points allows the aircraft to carry various weapon configurations in combination with the external fuel tanks.
The feasibility of integrating into the avionics and weapons suites the perspective systems of Russian design (which were earlier offered only for export), as well as ordnance and avionics of international origin.
Reduced radar signature.
A complex of technical and technological systems (e.g. onboard oxygen-generating station) ensuring self-sufficient aircraft deployment.
The incorporation of technologies to prevent corrosion of the airframe and main systems. These meet the highest standards of protection for ship-borne fighters, which can substantially facilitate aircraft operation in tropical climates.
A program of technical training is in place which consists of interactive computer-based training and a range of simulators which include a mobile full-mission simulator. The training system has been developed to be utilized for all aircraft in the unificated family of fighter aircraft.
The MiG-35 fighter is a state-of-the-art aircraft designed by RAC “MiG”. It was rolled out on the 9th of January 2007 in the presence of Sergey Ivanov, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government, Defense Minister, and General Vladimir Mikhailov, Commander-in-chief of the Russian Air Force.
According to Vladimir Mikhailov, the MiG-35 will be in demand by both the Russian Air Force and international customers. The fighter will be offered to the Indian Air Force for the MMRCA tender (Medium Multi-Role Combat Aircraft).
The program of development and production of the MiG-35 envisages a large-scale technology transfer and further cooperation with the Indian industry. In particular it is planned to:
involve Indian companies in the design and manufacture of avionics including the one pertaining to the new generation
set up licensed production of the MiG-35, along with all its major systems, at HAL. There will be no limits to the transfer of technology
utilize the industrial infrastructure created for operation, overhaul and series production of “MiG” and “Su” aircraft
develop future joint programs for combat aircraft upgrades. | aerospace |

Update: Port Canaveral and the Coast Guard on Sunday confirmed the ship ‘Harmony of the Seas’, the Royal Caribbean ship that crossed the missile danger zone. The investigation is ongoing.
The next attempt to get started is still set for 6:11 pm EST Monday, January 31st.
On Sunday evening a cruise ship went into the airspace of the Falcon 9 rocket, forcing SpaceX to get down from work again and prepare for a 24-hour turn.
Missile engineers counted from the Cape Canaveral Space Station to the EST liftoff at 6:11 pm and waited as long as possible to resolve the Coast Guard situation, but eventually did not have time to meet the immediate window deadline. The launch complex marked the fourth delay for previously scrubbed work due to bad weather around 40.
In a fifth attempt to launch the Italian space agency Earth observation satellite, the teams are now targeting 6:11 pm EST Monday, January 31st. If unable to fly in time, SpaceX will focus on the National Security Payload on February 2 at the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, before re-focusing on the Cape.
At least 90% of the weather for Monday’s attempt is expected to “go”, according to the Space Force.
SpaceX only identified the ship as a “cruise liner” and, late Sunday, did not respond to Coast Guard inquiries. A Port Canaveral spokesman said a Coast Guard investigation was underway.
The Royal Caribbean’s Harmony of the Seas and MSC Cruise’s Meraviclia are scheduled cruise ships from Port Canaveral on Sunday.
The Sunday launch was scheduled to fly to the southeast, a pavement that was unused from 1960 to 2020. New technologies have enabled SpaceX to relaunch north-south polar missiles from Florida, which will fly parallel to the coast but also target pilots and sailors. Look for different exclusion zones. Risk areas, designed to mitigate the risks to people in the event of a rocket failure, are provided prior to each mission.
Earlier this month, Space Launch Delta 45 It issued a statement warning pilots and sailors that there would be more than five polar launches in January alone. Sunday’s release marks the fourth.
“The 2022 launch speed is exceptionally projected in January with only five poles and seven total missiles,” Air Force Major Jonathan Chool said in a statement. “Due to the unique southern lanes, air and sea traffic on the southeastern coast of Florida will be severely affected.”
“We request all pilots and sailors to double check the Air Force Notices (NOTMAR) and Maritime Notices (NOTMAR) to ensure that they are fully aware of all missile operations pending on Space Coast this historic month,” Szul said.
On Sunday, Scrub postponed a SpaceX mission to Monday: another Falcon 9 rocket company’s 37th batch on the Kennedy Space Center’s Bat3A will have to wait a little longer for its mission to launch Starling Internet satellites. The elevator is set for 2:17 EST, but will be delayed by 21 minutes each day.

Juno is a spacecraft that will spend one year orbiting Jupiter, making scientific observations of the planet’s gravity, magnetic fields and composition. I conducted interviews with the scientists and engineers who worked on the project, and we filmed the launch on Aug 5, 2011.
My primary goal was to talk to these extremely big brains of NASA and bring their knowledge of the complex science and technology to the general public. As a layman myself, most of my questions were followed up with an earnest, “So what does that mean?” and “Let’s pretend I don’t know anything.”
I had met some of the scientists before at earlier milestones in the project, but this was an especially significant time – for many of them, the culmination of seven years of work was about to blast into space. Formerly unflappable engineers were giddy with excitement, and I could feel what many called “launch fever” on the eve of liftoff.
If the fever was contagious, then I caught the bug too, because I’m just going to come out and say it: when I was 15, I went to Space Camp. Yes, I’m the girl who wandered around the National Air and Space Museum in a constant state of awe and wept during the IMAX film “The Dream is Alive.” When people ask how can we spend money on the space program when there are so many social ills in the world, I answer: how can we not? Space exploration not only seeks to unlock mysteries of the universe, it drives innovation that we can apply to everyday technology on Earth. Exploration also serves as inspiration – to add to the collection of human knowledge and to wonder what lies beyond…
The launch itself was thrilling – so much louder and brighter than you get from watching it on television. The viewing area for Kennedy Space Center was across the water from the launch pad. In the August heat of Florida, each delay was enhanced by the general excitement of the crowd and the high noon sun (and the sweat dripping down my back). I could see the rocket liftoff well before I could hear it. The sound began as a low rumble that grew into a giant wave that crashed over us and resonated in our bellies. The launch was a success; after about 6 minutes, Juno had entered Earth’s orbit, and 30 minutes after that, it began its five-year journey to Jupiter.
The opportunity to be present for the launch and talk to the best and brightest minds at that very moment was an honor that I’ll not soon forget. At the end of each interview, I asked each person when he or she was first inspired by this field of work. Everyone I spoke to drifted inward to some old memory and began their stories with “when I was a little girl” or “when I was a boy,” and not surprisingly, more than one referenced Star Trek.
Below is a short film of the launch. The principal investigator for the project (and all-around great guy), Scott Bolton of Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, narrates.
- Juno sat atop an Atlas V rocket, nearly 200 ft tall.
- As of August 5, 2013, Juno is two years into its five-year, 2.8 billion kilometer journey. Juno was launched in August 2011, and will arrive at Jupiter in July 2016.
- The Earth Fly By is October 9, 2013.
- Juno will study Jupiter’s composition, gravity field, magnetic field and magnetosphere.
- The goal of Juno is to improve our understanding of the solar system’s beginnings by revealing the origin and evolution of Jupiter. Juno will let us take a giant step forward in our understanding of how giant planets form and the role these titans played in putting together the rest of the solar system.
- Once Juno concludes its study after completing 33 orbits around Jupiter, it is programmed to crash into the planet in order to avoid any possibility of impacting its moons – this is the part that blows my mind because the implication is that we don’t want to influence or disturb the potentially fertile elements on the moons.
- Some NASA technology that we use everyday include: memory foam, scratch resistant lenses, ear thermometers and shoe insoles. (source: 10 NASA Inventions You Might Use Everyday, Discovery.com) | aerospace |

Aveillant, the radar technology company based in Cambridge, UK, has announced the operational deployment of its Gamekeeper drone detection radar in Monaco. This is the first operational drone surveillance system to provide coverage over an extended urban and coastal environment with a single sensor, the company says. The radar forms part of the full counter-UAS system provided by Monaco-based JCPX Development.
The Gamekeeper radar is designed to detect targets down to 0.01m2 cross-section, the size of a small consumer drone, and has a range of up to five kilometres. Aveillant’s unique technology does not scan across an area as traditional radar does, but continuously floodlights a volume of space, gathering 3D position and motion information from all targets, all of the time. Whilst the exact parameters of the technology are confidential, Aveillant’s unique approach allows detection and tracking capability beyond what is possible with other radars.
Following prototype testing in Monaco earlier in the year, the production unit successfully completed site acceptance testing and full commissioning in October. Positioned one kilometre from the coast, the radar monitors airspace above a large majority of the principality, including above the Stade Louis II, the harbour-side heliport, and out to a range of five kilometres over the sea.
David Crisp, Aveillant CEO, said: “We’re thrilled to have the system operating in Monaco, and have proved our spectacular performance. When you see a live track of these tiny aircraft 5 km away reported in real time and in full 3D, it brings home the power of Aveillant’s radar.”
Speaking for JCPX Development, Chairman Jean-Chistophe Drai said: “Gamekeeper forms a central part of our comprehensive counter-UAS system, which also includes cued infra-red cameras and countermeasures. We have already run a number of highly successful demonstrations with the system here in Monaco, and are receiving global interest as the use of UAVs continues to grow.”
There is increasing concern about drone incursions into unauthorised areas, including airport approaches, major sporting events, areas around nuclear facilities and other critical infrastructure. There is also a growing recognition that use of drones for valid commercial reasons, such as parcel delivery, is likely to become commonplace, and non-cooperative primary radar tracking of small UAVs is likely to be a requirement as part of the new air traffic control infrastructure. It is estimated that by 2020 the market for drone detection systems globally will exceed $11 billion. (Source: Aveillant)

AB “Novaturas“ (the Company) announces that AB “Novaturas“ claim with UAB “GetJet Airlines“ (GetJet) regarding the execution of the charter flight agreement was accepted for consideration in the Vilnius Regional Court.
The Company has charter flight agreement with GetJet, on the basis of which the Company orders and GetJet operates charter flights to the destinations where the Company operates (Charter flight agreement). Due to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) in 2020, the implementation of the charter agreement is affected by force majeure and therefore can not be performed in full.
The pandemic resulted in legal uncertainty between the Company and GetJet regarding the scope of contractual obligations under the Charter flight agreement. To resolve this uncertainty, the Company initiated a legal dispute requesting to state that the Charter flight agreement could not be performed in full due to force majeure circumstances. On 19 November 2020, the Company was informed that the Court on 18 November 2020 had accepted this claim. The Company also asks the court to resolve the legal uncertainty between the parties regarding the future performance of the Charter flight agreement and to amend the agreement so that its terms correspond to the substantially changed circumstances by reducing the volumes of planned flights. The settlement of this dispute will determine the impact of force majeure on the performance of the Charter flight agreement and will settle the obligations between the Company and GetJet. If it were stated that the Charter flight agreement could not be performed in full due to force majeure, the Company expects to be exempted from the potential payment calculated by GetJet for not meeting contractual obligations.

A supply close to the Russian defence ministry reportedly told ForPost, a publication in annexed Crimea: ‘An underwater robot has descended to the seabed and detected the MQ-9 Reaper at a depth of about 850-900 metres.
‘The deep-water department of the South Stream gas pipeline operates not considerably from this spot.’
The report reported that Russian naval forces are ‘on responsibility in the area wherever the US military services reconnaissance car fell’.
A working day earlier there had been statements from Russian resources in leaked radio transmissions that some particles from the American drone had been identified on the surface.
There was no official affirmation of the ForPost claim.
It is unclear how long a Russian salvage procedure may well take to increase the downed drone.
Unveiled footage shows the minute a Russian fighter dumped gas on an American drone
Russian media claimed that Kremlin forces experienced observed the downed US drone around the port
Officials acquainted with U.S. intelligence on the incident that led to the downing of a U.S. Reaper drone stated the ‘highest levels’ at the Kremlin authorized the ‘aggressive’ Russian intercept over the Black Sea
Earlier these days, recently-declassified Pentagon footage showed the minute a Russian fighter jet crashed into a US MQ-9 Reaper drone in worldwide airspace more than the Black Sea.
The crash is the very first direct confrontation amongst Russia and the US given that the begin of the war in Ukraine.
Russia had beforehand claimed it experienced not built get in touch with with the drone immediately after the UAV was compelled down around global waters on 14 March.
But the new footage appeared to demonstrate the Su-27 clip the propeller of the drone right after flying overhead and jettisoning gas.
Onboard digicam footage confirmed injury to the drone right before it crashed into the Black Sea.
Moscow had explained it would get the job done to retrieve the wreckage in what would be a propaganda coup for Vladimir Putin, after before warning that it will ‘consider any action with US weaponry as brazenly hostile’.
US officers also produced assurances that steps had been taken to make sure no info could be recovered by foreign actors from the stays of the drone.
US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Team Typical Mark Milley mentioned: ‘As significantly as the loss of something sensitive … intelligence etcetera … as usual we would consider — and we did take mitigating steps — so we are fairly confident that regardless of what was of benefit is no lengthier of price.’
Soon after the release of the new footage, Tories warned there need to be ‘consequences’ for the Russian fighter jet attack on a US drone – amid a race to salvage the debris.
Defence committee chair Tobias Ellwood mentioned the ‘incredible’ incident was an instance of how speedily tensions can escalate.
Mr Ellwood advised the Express: ‘This incident illustrates how drone warfare is altering the character of conflict.
‘Russia would not have dumped fuel if the aircraft had been manned.’
He added: ‘This was a blatant assault in excess of international airspace and should really not move devoid of effects.’
The newly-declassified clip shared these days exhibits the unmanned drone appear into make contact with with a Russian jet following flying ‘in the vicinity’ of the plane for 30 to 40 minutes just soon after 7am CET (6am GMT) on Tuesday.
The sequential movie, edited by the US armed service for length, reveals one of two Russian jets traveling about international waters pull up on the drone, approaching from behind.
In accordance to US officials the MQ-9 Reaper drone was intercepted by two Russian Su-27 jets that dumped gasoline on prime of the drone prior to clipping its propeller, forcing it to crash

The jet is proven to dump gasoline as it passes. Fuel dumping is usually made use of by aircraft in emergency circumstances to drop excess weight.
The drone’s digicam suffers destruction prior to it is pressured to make an crisis landing in international waters under.
White Household Countrywide Protection Council spokesman John Kirby slammed Russia’s actions as reckless and hazardous.
But the Russian defense ministry pushed back again, stating in a statement, ‘Russian fighters did not use airborne weapons and did not appear into speak to with the American drone.
‘Due to sharp maneuvering, the American drone went into uncontrolled flight with a decline of altitude and collided with the drinking water area.’ | aerospace |

VELIS CLUB: the most versatile type-certified 2-seat aircraft
The perfect combination of affordability, efficiency, and performance.
The Velis Club suits a wide range of uses from basic flight instruction, to glider towing, and long-range cross-country flying with unbeatable performance.
The Club is the essential element of the Velis Training System, complementing the Velis Electro and the Velis VR simulator to cover all the areas of basic and advanced pilot training. The exceptional outside visibility, together with the simple and reliable avionics suite, is ideal for pilots learning the fundamentals of VFR flying. Its heavy-duty landing gear is able to absorb even the hardest of the landings and permits routine operations from grass runways. Approved for intentional spins, the Velis Club is also perfectly suited for advanced UPRT training.
The constant-speed variable-pitch propeller brings faster cruise speeds and better fuel economy. Flying at up to 132 KTAS and offering more than 1000 km of range, this fast high-performance cruiser is a fantastic aeroplane for cross-country flying.
The Velis Club is also approved for glider towing with the addition of the optional glider tow hook.
The Velis Club, as an EASA type-certified aircraft, has demonstrated safety levels required by the CS-LSA regulation by successfully passing all the qualification tests. The Rotax 912 S3 engine, also EASA certified, is a proven powerplant with a vast operational history.
Based on the excellent safety characteristics of their already certified predecessors Virus SW 121 and Velis Electro, the Velis Club incorporates additional features that enhance safety beyond what certification requires, such as the multi-sensory-path stall warning system, intentional spin approval, and the Ballistic Parachute Recovery System.
The stall warning system is based on true angle of attack measurement and consists of haptic stick vibration to the pilot’s stick, an audible alarm to the headset, and a cockpit acoustic alert.
The Ballistic Parachute Rescue System by Galaxy GRS can be installed as optional equipment. The system is conceived as a second chance beyond what is required by the certification standard, and should be used when all other solutions are ineffective.
The Velis Club combines the proven airframe and engine of the Virus SW 121 with the simplicity and durability of a club aeroplane, which can also be used for pilot training. The outstanding aerodynamic efficiency and robust lightweight structure of the Velis Club result in a high-performance aircraft with low fuel consumption, low cost, and low environmental footprint. Optional equipment like baggage compartment, ballistic rescue system, wheel fairings, and more, let the customizable Velis Club adapt to your budget.

https://www.theexpertinstitute.com/case-studies/family-claims-bad-control-panel-design-caused-fatal-plane-crash/ | 2019-09-21T19:57:55 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-39/segments/1568514574662.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20190921190812-20190921212812-00381.warc.gz | 0.94082 | 785 | CC-MAIN-2019-39 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2019-39__0__54607630 | en | Plaintiffs are survivors of a man killed when a plane he owned and was piloting crashed in Utah, where he was working on an aerial photography project. His family alleges that the plane’s flight display was defective and unreasonably dangerous because a defect disrupted the circuit board, causing the artificial horizon on the display to spontaneously display inaccurate and misleading information, including inaccurate and misleading roll and pitch information. This misinformation caused the crash.
The family filed a wrongful death, negligence and products liability case against the plane’s manufacturer and the designer of flight instrument system and flight display. They seek $10 million, plus punitive damages, claiming that aviation manufacturing regulations were violated. Through the course of the litigation, numerous documents have been discovered. A motion to intervene for the sole purposes of obtaining unredacted copies of the summary judgment record was filed. The defendant opposed it, claiming the record contained trade secrets or was protectable as proprietary.
Question(s) For Expert Witness
- 1.) Do the requested documents contain trade secrets?
- 2.) Was the defendant aware of potential defects in the display?
Expert Witness Response
The defendant is no longer producing the primary flight display at issue. I have personally disassembled an exemplar display, and I know that its hardware is supplied by multiple commercial vendors such that the device can be easily “reverse engineered.” There is nothing about the display in terms of its hardware or software that is patentable. The defendant has 15 patents assigned to it by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, most of which pertain to the displaying of lightning and weather. None of these patents contain any processes, hardware, software, or any other trade secrets or improvements relative to the displaying of airspeed, altitude, attitude, or rate information that pilots need for “situational awareness” in order to conduct safe and controlled flight. Review of these patents will document that there is nothing in the hardware or software at the core of the display that is patentable or, alternatively, that the defendant has chosen not to employ proprietary protection from the USPTO for this device. Further, none of the depositions requested contain information that would be patentable or could assist the defendant’s competitors in any technical way.
Regarding the defect, almost immediately after the introduction of the display, the defendant began receiving reports from the field of multiple failures, defects, and malfunctions of this equipment. The National Transportation Safety Board obtained data from four aircraft manufacturers regarding the display system anomalies. Approximately 1,800 entries were provided for the time period. Review of the information revealed that in many cases the system would exhibit anomalous operation immediately after installation. Multiple types of in-service anomalies were recorded from a low of 6 hours of operation to a high of 1,026.4 hours of operation. These anomalies included, but were not limited to, alignment failures, air data errors, display errors, problems with software, in-flight failure of the units, horizontal lines being displayed, magnetometers not communicating, pitch errors, command bar errors, ADAHRS failures, blanking out, flickering, erratic displays, miscompare messages, X outs, sound or smoke, and erratic knob operation.
Defendant was made aware of ongoing, systematic failures, defects, and malfunctions occurring during flight and which involved either the equipment’s hardware, software, or both. The company began receiving warranty claims almost immediately after shipments of this equipment began.
The expert is an expert in avionics, aircraft electrical systems, aircraft electrical distribution, avionics integration, trim systems, global positioning systems, cockpit voice recordings, flight data recorders, and traffic collision avoidance systems.
