Does this mean aliens arrived? A faint silver object flew across the frame at great speed. The dot gained speed moving out of the shot before the transmission was mysteriously cut.
Scott Waring claims it is a ‘doughnut ship’
A message appeared after that: “Please stand by. “The High Definition Earth Viewing experiment is either switching cameras, or we are experiencing a temporary loss of signal with the International Space Station.”
UFO hunters said that similar messages are generally common when any object has been spotted. Some accused the ISS and NASA for covering up the UFO sighting during this time.
According to Express, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, Scott C Waring, said about this doughnut ship, “The interesting thing about it is that it actually passes below the clouds. ”
UFO hunters claim it as a mysterious aircraft
He came to the conclusion that the UFO matched the speed of the space station and is expected to be travelling at the altitude of most passenger jet planes.
Waring added, “Sure alien tech has no difficulty in keeping up with the 27,600 km/h space station, but still it’s remarkable to see it pass below those clouds.”
The white speck emerged from the darkness above the horizon. Many viewers couldn’t notice anything extraordinary, but UFO hunters claim it as an alien aircraft. The object could be seen only for a moment, then the feed cuts out to grey. A blue screen follows, giving a message of a transmission cutout. Source: Morningnewsusa | aerospace |

But Boeing stock a good buy now? Investors should look at the aerospace giant's fundamentals and the stock chart.
Boeing Stock Fundamental Analysis
Boeing earnings per share growth has averaged 45% over the past three years, according to IBD's Stock Checkup. In Q1, Boeing earnings fell, and the aerospace giant suspended its share repurchases and guidance following the grounding of its 737 Max.
Management said it will provide clarity on its 2019 outlook once the plane returns to service and as production plans and the delivery ramp-up is clear. The Federal Aviation Administration signaled at a meeting in Montreal in late May that the 737 Max could be re-certified by late June at the earliest and start taking passengers in August. But it's unclear how quickly other countries will follow.
But trouble entered a new area, as the Securities and Exchange Commission is reportedly investigating the aerospace giant's financial disclosures relating to the jet's grounding. Plus, the Boeing 737 Max could be grounded even longer as the FAA reportedly expands its safety review to include older 737 models. The FAA may change pilot training procedures for when the flight-control computer or other systems on all 737s erroneously push the plane's nose down, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
On the revenue side, growth has averaged just 2% over the past three years. In Q1, the top line fell 2% to $22.9 billion. Commercial airplane unit revenue fell 9% to $11.8 billion.
The company said that 737 deliveries tumbled in Q1. Boeing recorded no new airplane orders for April. However, airlines could be saving their new order announcements for the Paris Air Show in June. Boeing 737 Max production has been cut temporarily to 42 a month from 52.
But while Wall Street analysts were bearish on Boeing stock ahead of Q1 earnings, some remained upbeat after the results, citing 737 Max-related costs that weren't as bad as some estimates. CFRA analyst Jim Corridore kept a buy rating on Boeing stock and a 450 price target.
Boeing Stock Technical Analysis
Boeing stock broke out of a cup-with-handle base in late January and then climbed nearly 14% to a new high in March. But shares then sold off as the 737 Max crisis spiraled, completing a so-called round trip from the buy point, which is a sell signal, according to MarketSmith analysis.
A round trip occurs when a stock gives up all the gains achieved during the breakout. Investors should take at least partial profits from a stock once it has risen 20%-25% from a buy point to avoid losing out on gains.
For now, Boeing stock is not showing any buy signals. Shares fell through their 200-day moving average in early May after breaking below its 50-day line nearly two months earlier. (The 200-day line is drawn in black on every daily chart in MarketSmith) Before Boeing stock can form a new base, it needs to climb above its 50-day line and 200-day line.
Renewed China trade war fears have hit the broader stock market recently, taking their toll on the Dow Jones aerospace giant. China is the world's largest market for new jets. While orders happen over years and decades, the combination of 737 Max woes and U.S.-China trade tensions leave Boeing vulnerable.
The relative strength line, which tracks a stock vs. the S&P 500 index, hit its lowest levels of the year earlier this month. The RS line is the blue line in the chart below. Boeing's Relative Strength score is a dismal 46.
Boeing stock's CAN SLIM fundamental metrics includes a weak 72 Composite Rating out of a best-possible 99 and an 78 EPS rating.
Boeing Stock Is Not A Buy
Boeing's technical weakness is clear. Boeing stock will continue to face fundamental challenges going forward due to the Boeing 737 Max. Bottom line: Boeing stock is not a buy right now.
Boeing 737 Max Woes
The aerospace giant is facing headwinds following the fatal crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max jet in March.
Officials suspect problems with the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System are to blame for the Ethiopian Air crash as well as an October Lion Air crash. Combined, the two crashes killed 346 people.
The Boeing 737 Max planes have been grounded, and U.S. lawmakers are questioning the Federal Aviation Administration's oversight of certifying the new plane.
Even when Boeing 737 Max jets fly again, they face lingering skepticism. An IBD/TIPP Poll in April found that 51% of Americans who are following the Boeing crisis said they would avoid flying on a 737 Max once it has re-entered service, with 28% saying they were "very likely" to avoid it and 23% saying they were "somewhat likely."
And among investors tracking the news, 44% have a lower opinion of Boeing as a company, 1% have a more favorable view, and 54% said their view hasn't changed.
Boeing Defense News Mixed
Boeing's defense business is also facing negative news. The KC-46 tanker for the U.S. Air Force is more than two years behind schedule and has cost Boeing $3.5 billion in charges for cost overruns. Deliveries had to be stopped repeatedly this year after debris was found in delivered tankers.
But Boeing has seen some good news in the fighter jet market. The Air Force's 2020 budget request includes eight updated Boeing F-15X fighters. Future budgets could include 18 jets per year up until 2024, for $7.8 billion.
Boeing also produces the F/A-18 Super Hornet for the U.S. Navy and foreign militaries. And last year, it won an Air Force contract to produce the T-X trainer, which has extensive sales potential in the U.S. and abroad.
Boeing and other U.S. industrial giants got a lift when Congress re-established a quorum at the Export-Import Bank. The bank, which critics have called "The Bank of Boeing," can now approve loans again that are greater than $10 million.

Traditionally engineers have used electrical strain gauges to monitor many points over a structure such as an aircraft wing or large composite component. However applying many individual gauges is both time consuming and adds significant weight to the structure in the form of cabling.
Cost and compatibility can make a compelling case for pushing 100Gb/s bandwidth over a single optical channel, both as individual links and supporting 400Gb/s Ethernet, finds Andy Extance
Robin Mersh takes a look at how the industry is creating next-generation optical access fit for 5G
Technological advances to aid the increasing demand for bandwidth, on the path towards the terabit network, should lead to optical signals that are flexible and adaptive, like water, argues Dr Maxim Kuschnerov and Dr Yin Wang | aerospace |

The report follows the European Commission’s (EC) recent public consultation on technical standards for drones as a product and conditions for drone operations.
The results of the consultation are to feed into the forthcoming implementation of rules on drones and drone operations across the EU.
Insurance Europe is convinced drones offer huge potential for innovation in a wide variety of sectors, and will “help to create a range of new jobs and businesses in Europe.”
As for the insurance sector specifically, Insurance Europe says that “Insurers’ interest in drones span from being a user of drones to providing risk cover solutions.”
Insurance Europe believes that the current differences in legal situations for drones across member
states impede market growth.
“In some Member States it is difficult for insurers to provide insurance for drone physical damage or product liability due to reasons ranging from the lack of information on the use of drones (i.e. insufficient statistics or loss records) to the lack of a clear common framework on elements such as registration or licensing, for example.”
In relation to standardisation and licensing for drone operators Insurance Europe states that “The human factor in drone operations is a vital calculation for the insurer,” and back the need to have a basic knowledge of the legal framework and for operators to “demonstrate a base level of competence to operate the drone.”
Additional calls are made to differentiate between drones used for commercial activities and
drones used for private/recreational use, with Insurance Europe claiming, “The risk-profile of the two different activities can vary greatly and the two activities should be treated according to the risk involved.”
The final category explored is differentiation between and clear definitions for drones depending on their size and weight.
Insurance Europe claims this would allow insurers to have a clearer understanding of the market’s effective potential size as well as to play a role of reference for the operators. | aerospace |

Jeremy Hansen will make history.
That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Canada, eh? For the first time, a Canadian astronaut will take part in a NASA mission around the Moon. The astronaut, Jeremy Hansen, is one of four who will lead Artemis II, the second in a series of three lunar missions whose goal is to lay the groundwork for an enduring human presence on Earth's natural satellite.
Artemis II won't include a lunar landing. It will be a test flight of NASA's Orion spacecraft, which is specifically designed for moon missions. According to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), Artemis II will orbit Earth twice before zipping around the moon and using its gravity to "slingshot around the back side and return to Earth."
The CSA notes the Artemis II crew is poised to set a record for the "farthest human travel beyond the far side of the moon." They will also be the first humans to embark on a lunar mission since 1972.
It's expected to launch in May 2024.
A subsequent mission, Artemis III, is expected to include a lunar landing sometime in the second half of the 2020s. NASA has committed to enlisting a diverse crew, which could mean the first woman and person of colour on the moon.

Designing a tool on earth and 3D printing it on the ISS.
On the ISS this type of technology translates to lower costs for experiments, faster design iteration, and a safer, better experience for the crew members, who can use it to replace broken parts or create new tools on demand. But what I’m really excited about is the impact this could have on human space exploration beyond Earth orbit.
When we do set up the first human colonies on the moon, Mars and beyond, we won’t use rockets to bring along everything we need. We’ll build what we need there, when we need it.
That’s pretty much what I thought when I saw the headline. I know that there has been discussion of putting these on ships and boats, so that one can do certain repairs underway without having to carry a lot of different spare parts. If they can be printed, you only have to carry the stock. In space, all of those size and weight pressures are multiplied. | aerospace |

About the Author
Astronaut TERRY VIRTS grew up in Columbia, Maryland, outside of Baltimore. He wanted to be an astronaut ever since he read his first book about the Apollo missions when he was in kindergarten. He earned a bachelor of science degree in mathematics from the United States Air Force Academy in 1989, and a master of aeronautical science degree in aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Selected by NASA in 2000, he was the pilot of STS-130 mission aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour. In March 2015, Virts assumed command of the International Space Station, and spent over 200 days on it. Virts is one of the stars of the new IMAX film, A Beautiful Planet, released in April 2016.
“Very few people get to experience seeing the world from outer space and no one has taken as many pictures of Earth from above as Astronaut Terry Virts. With thousands of mesmerizing images, View From Above provides a much-needed window on our home planet. It is a great piece to spark conversation and inspiration. Terry’s first-hand account of his journeys beyond our atmosphere is witty, heartwarming and profound. An absolute must-have for anyone with a love of space, photography and science.” –Fupping.com
“It’s Virts’s photos that form the heart of the astonishingly beautiful View From Above. The book is not only a fascinating look at our planet from a perspective most of us will never experience but also a peek at daily life aboard the ISS and everything that entails.” –GeekDad
“Virts’ account sparkles with life, even when the station itself often seems sterile and mechanical…Moments like these separate View From Above from other coffee table space books that serve up lots of pretty Earth views, but leave out the humanity.” –Air & Space
"Ex-astronaut offers bold three-step plan to put humans on Mars...Terry Virts says we must look to NASA's past before we move forward with a program to go to the red planet." --nbcnews.com

It’s been labeled a “cautionary tale” for urban dreamers. This backlash against the city’s design is what sparked Costa’s defensive statement.
What is the largest single pilot plane?
Embraer Phenom 300E has a length of 15.84m, a wingspan of 15.91m and a height of 5.10m. The total baggage and stowage volume is 2.38m3, while the maximum payload capacity is 1,196kg. “The aircraft is the fastest and longest-range single-pilot jet in the business aircraft category.”
Does anyone live in Brasilia?
Originally planned for 500,000 inhabitants, Brasilia has seen its population grow much more than expected and several ‘satellite’ (now called administrative) towns have grown up around the outskirts. Today, Brasilia’s total population, including the administrative towns, is over 2 million.
What is wrong with Brasilia?
The problems Brasilia faces today include inequality, congestion, and sprawl—which are far from unique in this city and common throughout the world. They’re direct ripple effects of the utopian thinking that went into its design.
Can a private jet fly with one pilot?
Single Pilot Certified Private Jets The largest private jet that can be flown with just one pilot is the Pilatus PC-24. The PC-24 is an exceptional piece of machinery. Not only is it single pilot certified but it is also the most ruggest business jet around.
Could the C-390 replace the Embraer 190 as a cargo plane?
Using much of the technology developed for the Embraer 190, the C-390 would carry up to 23 tons of cargo and aims to replace Cold War -era cargo aircraft.
Where are Embraer aircraft manufactured?
ECC Leasing – Embraer’s in-house leasing division, based in Dublin, Ireland, managing and re-marketing the Embraer aircraft portfolio owned directly by the manufacturer. Harbin Embraer ( Harbin, China) – manufactures aircraft from the ERJ family for the Chinese market.
What happened to Embraer’s E195X aircraft?
Embraer considered producing an aircraft which was known as the E195X, a stretched version of the E195. It would have seated approximately 130 passengers. The E195X was apparently a response to an American Airlines request for an aircraft to replace its McDonnell Douglas MD-80s.
What are the different types of Embraer aircraft?
This company has three divisions: the Embraer Defense & Security, Embraer Commercial Aviation, and Embraer Executive Jets. They serve worldwide and have multiple business, commercial, and military jets still functioning. | aerospace |

Friday’s success also helps ensure the Hawthorne-based company’s continued expansion as it fulfills existing rocket contracts and prepares for new business.
The company, whose full name is Space Exploration Technologies, said its rocket achieved Earth orbit nine minutes into the flight after launching from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
“This has really been a fantastic day,” said an exuberant Elon Musk, SpaceX’s founder.
He said Friday’s launch helps vindicate President Barack Obama’s plan to give private companies the job of ferrying cargo and ultimately people to the space station, freeing up NASA to aim for true outer space.
“We’re really at the dawn of a new era,” Musk said in a conference call with the press. “This heralds the point at which space becomes a combined commercial and government endeavor in which commercial has a growing role.”
Musk added that the launch also helps advance increased access to space for regular citizens. Musk started SpaceX eight years ago to develop low-cost rockets.
“This is the dawn of a new era in space exploration, I think a very exciting era, and one that I think will lead to the democratization of space, making space accessible to everyone really,” said Musk, who co-founded PayPal earlier in his career before starting SpaceX with $100 million of his own money.
SpaceX’s brand new rocket soared off its launch pad into thin clouds at midafternoon, carrying a mock-up of the company’s spacecraft, named Dragon. The goal was to put the capsule into a 155-mile-high orbit, which it achieved.
Friday’s launch and future successes will allow SpaceX to continue its expansion, Musk said.
SpaceX employs about 1,000 people, with 700 at its headquarters at the Hawthorne Municipal Airport and the rest in Florida and Texas. Rocket structural work is done in Hawthorne.
“We’ve spread out to a bunch of additional adjacent buildings in Hawthorne,” Musk said. “We expect to continue to grow rapidly, probably growing at an annualized rate of 50 percent.”
Musk estimated that his company would have about 1,200 to 1,300 by year’s end, and about 1,800 by the end of 2011.
The biggest growth will occur in Texas, where SpaceX rocket engineers are developed and tested, he said.
Musk described Friday’s launch as “a near bull’s-eye.”
The first attempt to launch the 158-foot rocket was aborted in the final few seconds earlier in the afternoon because of questionable readings with the engine-ignition system.
NASA hopes to use the Falcon-Dragon combo for hauling supplies and possibly astronauts to the space station, once the shuttles retire later this year or early next.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden called Friday’s launch “an important milestone in the commercial transportation effort” and said it puts the company a step closer to supplying the space station.
And the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy shot out this tweet: “what a show!”
The next Falcon 9 launch is scheduled for this summer, with the first cargo run to the space station possibly next year.
Astronauts could follow within three years of the company getting a contract from NASA, Musk said, and quite possibly average citizens could venture into space in five to six years.
If NASA doesn’t select SpaceX for crew transport, the company would have to find other customers in the private sector, he said.
Such a scenario would force SpaceX to self-fund development of an escape system, thereby doubling the development time frame from three years to six, he said.
SpaceX has poured close to $400 million into its two lines of Falcon rockets. The smaller Falcon 1 successfully flew in 2008 after three failed attempts, and again in 2009.
The Falcon takes its name from Han Solo’s spaceship in the “Star Wars” film saga, the Millennium Falcon. Musk chose the name Dragon because of how some viewed his unlikely venture, borrowing from Puff the Magic Dragon.

The destructive effects of extended weightlessness to skeletal muscle – despite in-flight exercise – pose a significant safety risk for future manned missions to Mars and elsewhere in the Universe.
An American study, led by Robert Fitts of Marquette University (Milwaukee, Wisconsin), was recently published online by The Journal of Physiology and will be in the September printed issue. It comes at a time of renewed interest in Mars and increased evidence of early life on the planet. NASA currently estimates it would take a crew 10 months to reach Mars, with a 1 year stay, or a total mission of approximately 3 years.
Fitts, Chair and Professor of Biological Sciences at Marquette, believes if astronauts were to travel to Mars today their ability to perform work would be compromised and, with the most affected muscles such as the calf, the decline could approach 50%. Crew members would fatigue more rapidly and have difficulty performing even routine work in a space suit. Even more dangerous would be their return to Earth, where they'd be physically incapable of evacuating quickly in case of an emergency landing.
The study – the first cellular analysis of the effects of long duration space flight on human muscle – took calf biopsies of nine astronauts and cosmonauts before and immediately following 180 days on the International Space Station (ISS). The findings show substantial loss of fibre mass, force and power in this muscle group. Unfortunately starting the journey in better physical condition did not help. Ironically, one of the study's findings was that crew members who began with the biggest muscles also showed the greatest decline.
The results highlight the need to design and test more effective exercise countermeasures on the ISS before embarking on distant space journeys. New exercise programmes will need to employ high resistance and a wide variety of motion to mimic the range occurring in Earth's atmosphere.
Fitts doesn't feel scientists should give up on extended space travel. 'Manned missions to Mars represent the next frontier, as the Western Hemisphere of our planet was 800 years ago,' says Fitts. 'Without exploration we will stagnate and fail to advance our understanding of the Universe.'
In the shorter term, Fitts believes efforts should be on fully utilizing the International Space Station so that better methods to protect muscle and bone can be developed. 'NASA and ESA need to develop a vehicle to replace the shuttle so that at least six crew members can stay on the ISS for 6-9 months,' recommends Fitts. 'Ideally, the vehicle should be able to dock at the ISS for the duration of the mission so that, in an emergency, all crew could evacuate the station.'

This was reported in the press service of “Rostec” on Wednesday, December 23.
Heavenly business: which drones the Ministry of Defense is betting on Priority can be received by shock UAVs and kamikaze drones
It is noted that the products were developed in the shortest possible time – the development contract was received in 2015, and serial production started in 2019
“In addition to its direct purpose, it can be used, for example, for monitoring forest fires, agricultural plantings or transportation of oil products. Therefore, we see great potential for its application in the civilian sphere, ”said Igor Nasenkov, General Director of the Tekhnodinamika holding.
The drone complex simulates the behavior of air targets and allows you to test new weapons in conditions as close as possible to combat ones.
Thus, the use of a “target drone” provides an opportunity to assess the accuracy of guidance and the effectiveness of hitting targets.
A few days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin at an expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry board said that the use of artificial intelligence in weapons in the future will determine the outcome of the battle.
In August, it was reported that multipurpose attack drones, which are capable of hitting enemy targets with high-precision ammunition, will begin to enter the Russian Aerospace Forces in 2021. | aerospace |

Drones Must Fly Below 400 Feet
While technically the FAA had rules against flying above 400 feet before now, that rule was a 1981 advisory covering model airplanes. As it was only an advisory, it wasn 't an official rule, though most people treated it as such.
Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations makes that advisory law. The FAA says that flying above this limit interferes in national airspace. In addition to the height law, there are already established rules surrounding restricted airspace, such as around airports. In addition, local authorities can restrict the airspace around emergencies such as wildfires. Drone pilots should check their local airspace laws before flying a drone.
No Faster than 100 Miles per Hour
The FAA allows for a good deal of speed but says that a drone operator cannot fly an unmanned drone faster than 100 miles per hour or 87 knots.

Its new rover, Curiousity, should be so lucky.
Scientists at the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California planned for Opportunity to last for 90 days on Mars after its landing in 2004. Instead, it’s now run for more than 3,000 martian days and traversed 22 miles of the planet’s surface — scoured by sandstorms and working through temperatures that range from 86 degrees to 112 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (30 to -80 C).
“The rovers were designed to last in extreme conditions, and we’ve taken great care in how to operate them,” said JPL roboticist Vandi Tompkins, one of Opportunity’s former operators. “Someday, some essential part will go that stops it. It’s going to happen. But we try our best to push that as far as out as we can.”
Even after all these years, “You still see a lot of excitement” at Opportunity’s control center at JPL,” Tompkins said.
NASA spent $800 million to launch Opportunity and its sister rover, Spirit. The twin craft lifted off from Cape Canaveral in June 2003 aboard separate Delta II rockets and landed successfully the following January, bouncing onto the surface inside a cocoon of air bags.
The roughly 5-foot-long, 380-pound rovers were loaded with a variety of cameras and instruments used to analyze martian rocks and soil, and their findings have helped convince NASA that Mars once had water on its surface.
NASA lost contact with Spirit in 2010 and wrote off the rover in May 2011, but Opportunity kept on going. Among its findings was a vein of the mineral gypsum — an indication that water once ran across the surface of the Red Planet. And it beamed back its 100,000th picture, a sweeping panorama of the martian surface, in early July.
Not that it’s been unscathed. It’s got a worn “shoulder” joint on its robotic arm, making some operations difficult. It was stuck in a sand dune for nearly two months in mid-2005. But it has had unexpected luck, as well.
“The solar panels were expected to collect a lot of dust, and they did,” Tompkins said. “But we’ve had winds that have cleaned the solar panels occasionally, and that has given it a new lease on life.”
Tompkins is now working on the much-larger Curiosity. Designers built the 2,000-pound craft with lessons from Spirit and Opportunity in mind, including a longer, more advanced robot arm, a hammer drill that can crack apart rocks and a laser that reduces rock to a hot plasma, allowing an on-board spectrograph to determine its composition.
Opportunity’s neighborhood is known as the Meridiani Planum, a sandy desert located a few degrees south and west of the martian equator and its prime meridian. The site is nearly halfway around the planet from Spirit’s location, and from where Curiosity is expected to touch down at 1:31 a.m. Monday ET.
It can run more than 100 meters (325 feet) in a day, but it’s not exactly a speed demon: Opportunity tops out at about 2 inches a second. But it’s also capable of climbing up to 30-degree slopes.
Tompkins says the goal for operators is “pushing the limits and keeping it safe.”
“The fact that the rovers have lasted also has to do with how carefully you operate them,” she said.
The average distance between the Earth and Mars is about 225 million miles, but it varies widely during the year as both planets orbit the sun. When they’re the farthest apart — about 400 million miles — a radio signal from NASA takes more than half an hour to reach the rovers.
That means controllers have to pre-program Opportunity’s daily movements, working from a three-dimensional model of the surrounding terrain, Tompkins said. JPL transmits the plan to the rover, which carries out the program and beams the data back to Earth via two satellites now circling the Red Planet, the Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. That means the programs have to be completed by the time those satellites are in range, adding one more wrinkle to controllers’ calculations.
“Imagine planning your drive from your home to your office,” she said. “Even though you know that route truly well and there’s no traffic, imagine having to pre-think all those options. Then imagine it’s raining.”

Andre Brahic was still with us commenting on the discoveries in which he had participated.
So with the passing of time and the passing of all things, in the fortieth year – and beyond – the noosphere had learned that NASANASA Contact with Voyager 2 was lost, as reported by Futura in previous articles below. An error apparently caused the probe to turn towards Earth, disrupting communications. However, one might think that nothing was lost because Voyager 2 was going to build a variant, according to NASA engineers’ forecasting programs for possible similar problems. reset Automatic with its restoration to Earth-pointing on October 15, 2023.
The Voyager 2 probe is only the second spacecraft to enter the interstellar medium since Voyager 1 in 2012. For a fairly accurate French translation, click on the white rectangle at the bottom right.

NASA realized a few days ago – after detecting a weak signal coming from the probe – that the pointing error should not be large, and let a stronger signal be sent in the direction of the probe. radio telescoperadio telescope famous in australia Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC).
The signal made it possible to unblock the position and during the day of 4 August the probe’s response came to its native Earth, ie again scientific data and telemetrytelemetryThis indicates that despite the time spent without following instructions from the noosphere, the probe is functioning normally, and it remains well on its planned trajectory in interstellar space.
Legendary Voyager 2 no longer responds. NASA is no longer receiving data from its probe, launched in 1977, due to a “maneuvering” error since July 21. The US space agency had planned a series of orders for the device, which led to AgitationAgitation An antenna used to communicate with the Earth. The latter would have rotated 2 degrees. After a 45-year mission, Voyager 2 is currently 19.94 billion kilometers from its starting point.

Next Probe Hint: October 15, 2023
Fortunately, Voyager 2 is not lost. The ground instrument, the second most distant from Earth after Voyager 1, will send a signal to NASA facilities on October 15. Voyager 2 will return to its original position on this date. In the meantime, it must continue its journey into the fringes of cosmic darkness, according to the plans of the US administration’s engineers.

Even if Voyager 2 continues to travel “blindly” into space, NASA has reported in a reassuring tone that the probe is functioning correctly while on its trajectory.

I am happy to be here today to see the many amazing flying machines that all of you have designed and put together.
Since the launch of the Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition (SAFMC) four years ago, many students and flying enthusiasts have been inspired to create unique flying machines. This year, I am pleased to hear that we have a total of 309 teams taking part in the competition, a 55% increase since the first year.
During the inaugural launch of the competition, we saw flying machines in the form of a teacup and even a toilet bowl! The following year, we had popular cartoon characters, such as Spongebob Squarepants and Thomas the Train, coming alive, as they took to the skies. Last year, Domo-kun, the very popular and official mascot of Japan’s NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) television station, made an aerial appearance as well, together with a speedy, multi-coloured trishaw.
Today, we continue to see even more stunning demonstrations, which reflect the creativity and innovativeness that can be achieved when you let your imagination take flight. When we harness the power of our imagination, we create endless possibilities.
Flying Machines that Make a Difference
The history of flight shows us how human imagination can truly change and transform the world we live in. For many centuries, humans have tried to fly, just like the birds, but often with disastrous results. In Renaissance Europe, the talented Leonardo da Vinci was fascinated by the phenomenon of flight. He made many detailed studies and drawings of bird and mechanical flight, but did not get to test out any of his models. Later, inventors came up with hot air balloons and gliders. From these early inventions, the ideas for a powered airplane soon took shape. They were propelled by the tireless efforts of the Wright brothers, who eventually became the first inventors to make the ancient dream of flying man a reality.
The history of flight is a remarkable story of how we can overcome our natural constraints with imagination, inventiveness and courage. It is also a reminder that innovation is a continuous process. Breakthroughs are often not the result of individual brilliance, but a process of experimentation and hard work, typically over many years and decades, with every new scientist building on the foundations of those who came before him.
Today, it is easy to take for granted the convenience of modern jets to travel around the world. Just last month, Singapore hosted the largest aviation event in Asia — the Singapore Airshow 2012 — which featured some of the latest flying wonders. Amongst them was the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the first commercial aircraft, made almost entirely of carbon fibre composite, and the most fuel-efficient of its kind. Equally extraordinary is the fifth-generation multi-role Joint Strike Fighter or F-35, equipped with cutting-edge processing power, together with integrated avionics and sensors to increase the pilot’s situation awareness.
Around the world, innovators continue to push the boundaries with their inventions. In the area of unmanned airborne vehicles, or UAVs, a British defence company Qinetic developed an ultra-light solar-powered unmanned aircraft known as the Zephyr that set a new world record — it remained over two weeks. And there are already plans to push this even further. The US Defence Advanced Research Programme Agency or DARPA, is funding the development of a UAV that can stay airborne for up to five years!
At home, our local innovators are also aiming high. Last year, the Nanyang Technological University and the Defence Science Organisation (DSO) successfully built and launched Singapore’s first microsatellite, X-SAT, which is currently orbiting in space and sending down images which it captures for environmental monitoring. More recently, Hope Technik, a home-grown company founded by four Engineering alumni from the National University of Singapore, has been selected by Astrium, a European major aerospace contractor, to help design, build and launch a space plane prototype. The prototype, at 4 metres by 4 metres, would be half the size of the actual plane that Astrium hopes will bring tourists to space.
Significance of SAFMC
The wonders of flight continue to fascinate and inspire mankind from one generation to the next as they bring out the best designers, innovators and dreamers. Through the Amazing Flying Machine Competition, the DSO National Laboratories and the Science Centre Singapore hope to provide a platform for young Singaporeans like you to harness the power of your imagination, develop the confidence to translate dreams into reality, and enjoy the fun of creating something new. These qualities are vital in the world of science and technology, where we make forays into the unknown and push the boundaries of discovery.
On this note, I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to all participants, and thank all the parents and teachers for their steadfast support. I wish everyone an ever fruitful flight ahead in your never-ending quest to reach for the stars. | aerospace |

https://www.sandboxx.us/blog/how-much-cheaper-is-the-f-15ex-compared-to-the-f-35/ | 2023-02-07T04:47:30 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-06/segments/1674764500384.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20230207035749-20230207065749-00068.warc.gz | 0.946566 | 1,025 | CC-MAIN-2023-06 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-06__0__112939761 | en | In this era of flying stealth supercomputers like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and F-22 Raptor, many have questioned the wisdom of purchasing a slew of new old fighters. The F-15EX does not boast any stealth capabilities, nor does it have the same knack for sensor fusion that has earned the F-35 the unofficial nickname of “quarterback in the sky.” Despite this apparent lack of capability, the Air Force is procuring F-15EXs at a cost of around $87.7 million each, as compared to the now lower F-35 price of just $77.9 million per aircraft.
This price differential only emboldens the F-15EX’s critics, who point out that the F-35 offers a far wider variety of capabilities and is considered much more survivable in contested airspace (thanks to its stealth capabilities). When you only consider those figures, the F-15EX may seem like a pretty poor choice.
However, the reality of military acquisitions and combat capability are far more nuanced than a side-by-side tale of the tape might represent. While the F-15EX may indeed cost more per airframe than the latest batch of F-35s, it may actually be the savvier purchase. The F-35 is intended to have an operational lifespan of around 8,000 hours, whereas each F-15EX is expected to last 20,000. In other words, in order to fly the same number of hours as an F-15EX, the Air Force would need to purchase not one, but three F-35As.
That price reduction is further bolstered by operational costs. Keeping a high performance fighter in tip-top shape is expensive and time consuming, but in that portion of the ledger, the F-15EX once again shines. The Air Force expects to spend around $29,000 for every hour the F-15EX is in the air, far cheaper than the F-35’s figures recorded in 2018 of around $44,000 per hour. Now let’s do a bit of back-of-the-envelope math to assess how much these aircraft will actually cost in a fight.
The F-15EX costs $87.7 million per aircraft, and can fly for up to 20,000 hours at a cost of $29,000 per hour. So $29,000 per hour x 20,000 hours + $87.7 million for the aircraft comes out to a pretty serious $667.7 million dollars.
In order to match that operational lifespan, it would take three F-35As. So the math would look like $44,000 per hour x 20,000 hours + $233.7 million for three F-35s… and it comes out to more than a jaw dropping $1.1 billion. The F-15EX, then, offers a saving of around $446 million per aircraft over the lifespan of the jet (if things were this simple, anyway).
To give the F-35 a slightly more realistic shake, let’s use larger volumes of aircraft, rather than 1:1 comparisons. The Air Force plans to purchase at least 144 F-15EXs, but for the sake of simple math, let’s call it 100. The above per-aircraft cost times a hundred comes out to $66,770,000,000 spent on aircraft and 2,000,000 flight hours. You would need 250 F-35s to match the same flight hour total, which combined with operating costs come to $109,925,000,000. In this more realistic comparison, the F-15EX offers a less pronounced advantage, but still comes to the tune of some $43,155,000,000 in savings over the span of the program. $43 billion is certainly nothing to scoff at.
Now, it’s important to note here that this math is egregiously simplified: Lockheed Martin and the Air Force are already working tirelessly to reduce the operating costs of the F-35 (because the Air Force says they can’t afford them if they don’t).
The cost per hour of the F-35 is sure to drop in the years to come — and just as importantly, the F-35 is a stealth platform built largely to engage ground targets. The F-15EX, on the other hand, is an air superiority fighter designed to duke it out in the skies. Both of these aircraft are capable of either role, but at a fundamental level, these jets simply aren’t built to do the same jobs. It might help to think of them as NASCAR and Formula 1 racers: Both are extremely capable platforms, but they’re each highly specialized for their specific use. The new F-15EXs the Air Force buys won’t fill F-35 spots, but will instead replace aging F-15s in America’s existing arsenal. | aerospace |

To ensure success, technicians carefully review the James Webb Space Telescope’s sunshade before deployment tests begin as they occur, and do a full post-test analysis to ensure the observatory is performing as planned. NASA / Chris Gunn
Progress in testing NASA’s next generation telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, is back on track after delays this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Recently, the James Webb unfolded its massive solar protection in a series of voltage tests preparing the telescope for launch next year.
In the final test, the telescope used its tennis court-sized sunshade, which protects the telescope’s sensitive electronics from the heat of the sun. “This will be one of Webb’s greatest achievements in 2020,” said Alphonso Stewart, head of Webb delivery systems, in a statement. “We were able to precisely synchronize the deployment movement very slowly and in a controlled manner and maintain its critical kite-like shape, which means that it is ready to perform these actions in space.”
The tests put the hardware through its paces, including 139 actuators, eight motors, and thousands of other components that control the complex deployment process. Testing is made even more difficult by the fact that unfolding in space will occur without gravity, but here on Earth, gravity can cause friction problems.
The telescope, which will be a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope and will look for habitable worlds among other things, has faced a number of delays, including working on the project that has been suspended due to the coronavirus. But the work is on again. The team at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, are testing hardware to make sure everything is ready to go.
The team is confident that the telescope can launch in 2021. “This milestone signals that Webb is well on its way to being ready to go. Our engineers and technicians have made incredible testing progress this month and have significantly reduced the risk to the project by meeting these milestones for launching next year, ”said Bill Ochs, project manager at Webb, in the statement. “The team is now preparing for the final post-environmental test at the observatory over the next few months before it is delivered to the launch site next summer.” | aerospace |

This is the video that proved drones are the future of warfare.
This is a classic video, and I was surprised to not find it in our library already. To my knowledge, this is one of the first released videos of a modified consumer hobby drone being used to deliver a payload directly on-target, and the first guys to officially do it are Soldiers from the Ukrainian military.
When this video first released, it was the moment that I realized I needed to get on a soap box to start screaming about how drones are going to change the face of war. No longer were drones limited to first-world military super powers who can afford things like the Predator. Anyone, anywhere in the world, with access to Amazon can go online and buy themselves a $200 hobby drone, and then with two hours of time to improvise a system, they can engineer a way to deliver a small explosive payload with it.
I was proven right not too long after this when the videos started pouring out of Syria as well. The situation actually got so bad that companies like DJI started installing firmware hacks into their hardware that made it so their products would not even operate if the drone registered that it was located in several blacklisted regions, Syria being one of them.
Today, these commercially available drones are still being used to reshape the battlefield in favor of the smaller, less-funded groups of extremists all around the world. While it wasn't a smaller, under-funded group who started the trend, they were definitely some of the first guys to prove the concept. | aerospace |

Learn more about this intriguing locale down below!
A One-of-a-Kind Museum in San Diego
Located a twenty-minute drive north of San Diego in the town of Miramar, the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum showcases artifacts and exhibits related to not only aviation, but the history of the United States Marine Corps Aviation. Housed within its 27,000 square-foot restoration hangar are thirty antique aircraft, a variety of military equipment and vehicles, as well as a plethora of historical items inside of the museum itself. These exhibits and artifacts range from World War I to the present day.
Unlike other aviation museums, the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum maintains a special focus on the contributions to aviation made by the U.S. Marines. Additionally, it has the added benefit of being run entirely by volunteers, enabling the museum to allow free admissions for all visitors of all ages.
During exclusive weekends throughout the summer season, visitors can come to the Flying Leatherneck Aviation Museum and attend an open cockpit day, where they can step inside of a cockpit and experience what flying was like for past Marine pilots and how their experience differs today. Additionally, pilots often give informational talks throughout the year, along with other events held at the museum.
New exhibits and future plans are in progress at all times. Recently, the Flying Leatherneck Museum opened an exhibit on the Navajo Marines that served as Codetalkers, playing a vital role in our World War II efforts and directly impacting the Marines’ ability to secure decisive victories at Iwo Jima and Okinawa by using their beautiful language to communicate in a code that was indecipherable to our enemies.
While the Flying Leatherneck Museum doesn’t charge admissions, there is an on-site store where visitors can purchase unique souvenirs to remind them of their experience at the museum and in San Diego. Donations to the museum are also accepted.
The museum is open from 9:00am until 3:30pm on Tuesday through Sunday, and is closed on Mondays and federal holidays.

The “nerd bird” route promises daily downtown-to-down service in an hour.
“A Seattle to Vancouver flight has been talked about for decades, and Cascadia finally makes it real,” said Harbour Air president Randy Wright.
“It will be used by tech companies, tourism, business, (for) sporting events,” Wright said. “There will be lots of opportunities.”
The operators will start with 20 flights a week, two round-trips each way Monday to Friday, with one-way tickets set at $370 (US$285). | aerospace |

The Chinese military — known as the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) — envisions its drone swarms scouting out battlefields, guiding missile strikes and overwhelming opponents through sheer numbers. China’s military-industrial complex has created a wide array of homegrown drones to accomplish those goals over the past decade, according to the report released by the Project 2049 Institute on March 11.
“The PLA now fields one of the world’s most expansive UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] fleets,” said Ian Easton and L.C. Russell Hsiao, researchers at the Project 2049 Institute and authors of the new report.
U.S. military forces still operate the largest drone fleet, with at least 679 drones in 2012, according to data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies reported by the Guardian. But the new Project 2049 Institute report estimates that China had 280 military drones as of mid-2011 — a number that has likely grown since then.
Chinese military drones have already entered the frontlines of China’s territorial disputes with neighboring countries such as Japan by flying maritime patrols over disputed areas. The Project 2049 Institute report warned that China could be tempted to use drones more aggressively without risking human lives, or even consider “plausibly deniable” drone attacks blamed upon mechanical failure or cyberhackers.
Chinese strategists have also discussed using swarms of drones to overwhelm the U.S. Navy’s carrier groups in the unlikely possibility of a shooting war. The drones could act as decoys, use electronic warfare to jam communications and radar, guide missile strikes on carriers, fire missiles at U.S. Navy ships or dive into ships like kamikaze robots.

The B-36H was much the same as the B-36F which preceded it, but had a rearranged crew compartment with a second flight engineer station. In addition, the B-36H featured a new AN/APG-41A radar system in the tail which aimed the two 20-mm cannon in the tail turret. The new AN/APG-41A radar installation featured additional twin tail radomes, and was far superior to the AN/APG-32 gun-laying radar employed by the preceding B-36Ds and B-36Fs. The radar equipment was relocated to inside the pressurized compartment to allow for inflight troubleshooting and repair. The engines were six R-4630-53 and four J47-GE-19, same as those of the B-36F.
The B-36H was flown for the first time on April 5, 1952. The B-36H deliveries did not start until December of 1952, at which time the Air Force already had most of its 34 B-36Fs. A total of 83 B-36Hs were built. The USAF also bought 73 long-range reconnaissance versions of the B-36H under the designation RB-36H. 23 were accepted during the first six months of 1952, and the remainder were all delivered by September of 1953. The Air Force acquired a total of 156 B/RB-36Hs (83 B-36Hs, 73 RB-36Hs), the largest production run of any B-36 version.
For a few months in 1952, all B-36s were restricted to altitudes below 25,000 feet after an RB-36 accident at 33,000 feet was traced to a faulty bulkhead. This restriction remained in place until all bulkheads could be inspected and defective units replaced.
By the mid 1950s, 64 B-36Hs were modified to Featherweight III configuration. It was capable of flying at 423mph at 47,000 feet, the fasted operational B-36 model.
One B-36H was converted into a mid-air refuelling tanker. The Air Force was interested in a tanker which could refuel jet aircraft at higher altitudes and higher speeds than those that could be reached by converted B-29 tankers. The modification contract was approved in February of 1952 and the work was completed in May. Testing with B-47 receiver aircraft took place at the end of May. No other tests took place until January of 1953, when a probe-and-drogue refuelling system was installed. The 9-crew tanker could be converted back to its standard bomber configuration in only 12 hours. However, no other tanker conversions of the B-36 were carried out, since converted B-29s and B-50s, plus the new KC-97, were able to handle mid-air refuelling much more economically.
The B-36H-equipped 42nd wing at Loring AFB, Maine, began to convert to B-52s in June of 1956.

Before the first instrument can be constructed, engineers and scientists have to work together to come up with the best possible technical design. In order to facilitate collaboration and communication, the APC has installed a Concurrent Design Facility (CDF) at the François Arago Centre in spring 2011. This facility is equipped with a network of computers, multimedia technology and software tools, in order to have a team of experts from several disciplines and in different places around the world to work together. It facilitates a fast and effective interaction of all disciplines involved, ensuring consistent and high-quality results in a much shorter time.
The CDF does not only support the design of mission concepts, but also the precise definition of detectors, systems or subsystems, or any instrumental development that needs to be considered on the system level. The facility provides videoconference equipment and an easy-to-use communication system. Projects can benefit from the CDF by reducing their travel expenses, and are able to organize working meetings in the most flexible way. The CDF can also be used in training and education exercises, allowing to reach out world wide. | aerospace |

Phil Seymour, President of IBA, says: "It is vital that the correct valuation approach is taken, and in some cases base value will be a more appropriate measure than market value. Each and every aircraft needs to be valued using the correct parameters.
"Covid has had an undisputed negative effect on all commercial aircraft values, but not all of these will be permanent. Once airlines have rebalanced their fleets to cater for demand levels in the coming years, the values of certain aircraft will recover, and this is reflected in their relatively small value decline now."
The newest generation of narrowbody and widebody aircraft have seen the mildest adjustments, as rising costs and environmental legislation lead operators to favour these assets over older aircraft types.
Of the new generation narrowbodies, the Airbus A220 and the A320neo have seen a comparatively low decline in market value of 5-8%, whilst the Boeing 737 MAX has seen a greater value fall as orders continue to be cancelled following its grounding last year.
The A320ceo, A321ceo and Boeing 737-800 models are the least affected of the current generation narrowbodies, declining in value from 9-16%, whilst the A319-100 and Boeing 737-700 have suffered the greatest negative adjustments due to several fleet exits (A319) and a concentrated fleet (737-700).
In the new generation widebody category, the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 families represent the pride of many prominent flag-carriers' long haul fleets, and these high yielding aircraft have seen a modest value decline of 4-13%. The most resilient variant of these types from a value perspective is the Boeing 787-9, which has declined least due to its broad operator base, operational flexibility and medium capacity which align well with current demand levels.
Many of the older widebodies, particularly the four engine types such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus A340, have declined by as much as 30-40%, with little hope of recovery as the number of in-service aircraft continues to wind down.
The decline in twin engine widebody values has varied, with certain Boeing 777 variants (200 and 200LR) accelerating their value decline which started prior to the Covid pandemic.
IBA sees long term potential through passenger to freighter conversion (P2F) for the Airbus A330-300 and Boeing 777-300ER, the latter of which has just been converted to a freighter for the first time, and the Boeing 767-300ER, which is a proven freighter with lots of passenger variants now being retired which are ripe for conversion.
IBA sees an uncertain future for the A380 with production ending next year, and many airlines opting to retire their aircraft early. With little secondary market demand other than for teardown to support existing fleets, its values have declined by up to 34%.
Amongst regional jets, IBA believes that those operated extensively in the large US regional market such as younger examples of the Embraer E175 and CRJ900 should remain relatively insulated.
In the turboprop market, ATRs have generally fared best from a value perspective, with the ATR42-600 the least affected. However, the Dash8/Q400 faces a much steeper value decline due to an excess number of available aircraft following airline failures and fleet restructurings.

https://newslinkin.com/airbus-control-laws/ | 2023-09-24T02:49:32 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506559.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20230924023050-20230924053050-00345.warc.gz | 0.91732 | 868 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__205063426 | en | There are three main laws on flight controls: the normal law, the alternative law and the direct law. The alternative law is subdivided into alternative law 1 and alternative law 2. Downgrading to either of the alternative legal options depends on the nature of the error. Each of the three laws has different sub-modes, including ground mode, airplane mode, and torch mode. Mechanical Backup is designed to allow pilots to maintain control of the aircraft while restoring flight control computers after a complete power outage. The flight controls of Airbus electric aircraft are all electronically controlled and hydraulically activated. Some surfaces, such as the rudder and tail, can also be mechanically controlled. During normal flight, computers act to avoid excessive forces in pitch and running axes. The following discussion is based on the A330, but much of the information also applies to other types of Airbus. Aircraft equipped with electric flight controls require computer-controlled flight control modes capable of determining the mode of operation of the aircraft (right of calculation). A reduction in electronic flight control can be caused by the failure of a computer device, such as a flight control computer, an information device such as the Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU), or the failure of several systems (double hydraulic failure, double engine failure, etc.).
Electronic flight control systems (EFCS) also provide an improvement in normal flight, such as increased protection of the aircraft against overuse or a more comfortable flight for passengers by detecting and correcting turbulence and providing yaw damping. The aircraft is controlled by three main control computers (captain, co-pilot and emergency) and two secondary control computers (captain and co-pilot). In addition, there are two Flight Control Data Computers (FCDC) that read information from sensors, such as aerial data (speed, altitude). This, along with GPS data, is introduced into three redundant processing units called Inertial Air Data Reference Units (ADRUs), which act as both an air data reference and an inertial reference. The ADRUs are part of the inertial reference system of air data connected to the Airbus with eight air data modules: three are connected to Pitot tubes and five to static sources. ADIRU information is fed into one of the many flight control computers (primary and secondary flight controls). Computers also receive information from aircraft control surfaces and aircraft control devices and the pilot`s autopilot. Information from these computers is sent to both the pilot`s main flight screen and control surfaces. [Citation needed] Unlike traditional controls, the sidestick in normal flight mode provides a load factor proportional to the deflection of the stick and independent of the speed of the aircraft. If the sidestick is neutral in manual flight, the system maintains a load factor of 1 g and the aircraft remains in flat flight without the pilot having to change elevators, even when changing gears or configurations. For manual rotations up to 33° bench, no lateral back pressure is required, as the system automatically adjusts the aircraft to maintain a level flight.
The system freezes the auto lining when the angle of attack becomes too large, the load factor exceeds 1.3 g or when the angle of slope exceeds 33 °. If these situations occur as a result of a deliberate maneuver, the pilot must exert back pressure on the side stick to maintain the chosen posture. In any case, load factor protection automatically limits the control inputs so that the aircraft remains within the “g” limits of the AOM, and pitch trim protection limits the in-flight attitude to a maximum of 30° nose up or 15° down. The deterioration of the alt1 law results from certain errors in the horizontal stabilizer, a single elevator error, the loss of a gäh shock absorber actuator, the loss of lamellar position or flap sensors, or a single air data reference error. Depending on the failure, autopilot may not be available. Information from many sources, including pilot sidesticks and rudder pedals, aerial data inertial reference units (ADRUs), landing gear control interface units (LCIU), slatted flap control computers (SFCC), flight management guidance computers (FMGC), and accelerometer are sent to all five flight control computers. | aerospace |

Mastercraft Collection Boeing EC-135C Looking Glass Strategic Air Command Model Scale:1/100
Product Description Avid collectors of handcrafted replica should not miss this desktop scale model. With the expert craftsmanship of this desktop replica, you'll surely be proud to bring it home and display on your desk. From the Manufacturer During the 1950s, the Strategic Air Command (SAC) identified the requirement for an Airborne Command Post (ABCP). The idea was for specially-equipped aircraft to be airborne at all times, should the SAC's underground command center become inoperable. The first aircraft adapted for the role of ABCP were 17 Boeing KC-135B Stratotankers. The nickname “Looking Glass” was adopted because the mission mirrored ground-based command, control and communications of US strategic nuclear forces. Operations began on February 3, 1961. By 1964, the aircraft was considered dedicated to the ABCP role and redesignated EC-135. The EC-135 Looking Glass was vital to US strategic forces. Its highly trained crew and staff ensured that there was always an aircraft ready to direct bombers and missiles from the air. Members of the battle staff formed seven operational teams and represented all branches of the armed services. When airborne, the staff was under the command of a flag officer, either an Air Force general officer or a Navy admiral. The EC-135 fleet wa...
The Boeing 377, or Stratocruiser, was a large long-range airliner built after World War II. It was developed from the C-97 Stratofreighter, which a military derivative of the B-29 Superfortress and used for troop transport. The B377 was released in the late 1940s; it was powered by four piston engines, had a pressurized cabin, which was a relatively new feature to transport aircraft at the time, and two decks. Using the B377, airlines were able to make transoceanic flights easier and faster, which enabled easier international travel to places such as Hawaii. Despite this, the Stratocruiser was considerably more expensive to buy and operate than the competing Douglas DC-6 and Lockheed Constellation. As a result, only 55 Stratocruisers were built for airlines. This specific model is painted in the Pan Am paint scheme. Pan American World Airways was founded in 1927 as a scheduled air mail and passenger service operating between Key West FL and Havana, Cuba. The airline has become a major company credited with many innovations that shaped the international airline industry, including the widespread use of jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine...

About this book: Future civil air transport requirements present challenging research problems. Those most challenging derive from the need for a successor to the Concorde. This book presents the prospects for supersonic transport aircraft and delineates the technological challenges to arriving at an economically viable aircraft under environmental constraints. The book describes the tools required for the design and optimization of such aircraft, touching upon aerodynamics, structures and thermal loads. Applications of these new technologies to both conventional configurations comprising the present knowledge base as well as novel ones are provided. The latter are shown to proffer strong advantages, but they also pose severe technological challenges before such designs could be certified as new aircraft. The book offers an excellent compilation of high speed air transport research topics and should be a stimulating guide for students in the aerospace engineering and related sciences.
The book consists of 20 chapters written by 5 coauthors.
Some details about the authors and their contributions:
George Dulikravich is an expert in inverse design and optimization in the engineering sciences. He provided 6 chapters on aerodynamic, thermal and structural inverse design and optimization with mainly but not solely applications to aerospace problems.

13 April, 2019, 15:38 | Author: Kelly Sanders
The most powerful operational rocket on the planet took off at 6.35 p.m. on Thursday from the historic 39A launch pad at the Kennedy Space Centre, the same platform that the Moon missions of the Apollo programme were launched from, and then managed to recover for the first time the three Falcon 9 rocket parts that make up the device, reports Efe news. But what was especially impressive this time around is the fact that they managed to retrieve all three of the Falcon Heavy's rocket boosters, as well as the payload fairings.
SpaceX is hoping that, with Heavy's first commercial flight under its belt, it can increase the frequency with which the massive rocket blasts off.
More than a year later, SpaceX has now launched the 70-meter-high Falcon Heavy, created to carry more than 64 metric tonnes of cargo, with the Arabsat-6A on board. The rocket landed successfully, completing a triple landing for SpaceX during the Arabsat 6A satellite launch on April 11, 2019. The company also made history by successfully recovering both of its side boosters and the central core booster, which it had never done before. The company selected the Falcon Heavy for this launch back in 2015 since its extra lift capability meant that the satellite could be placed in a much higher transfer orbit, which will ensure a longer service life.
Two of the boosters landed in Cape Canaveral in Florida and the third booster landed on an off-shore drone ship.
This successful mission follows last year's first launch - a test that saw billionaire SpaceX boss Elon Musk send his own vehicle into orbit.
This was followed two minutes later by the core booster landing at sea aboard the company's droneship, Of Course I Still Love You, which was parked at sea 990 km (615 miles) off the coast of Cape Canaveral.
The payload fairings are clam shell-like nose cone halves that protect the craft's payload. Two Starlink test satellites were launched previous year and the company hopes to launch the next set in the coming months using a Falcon 9 rocket. Seawater isn't the best for rocket components, but the company is confident it can refurbish the fairings after they've been dunked in the ocean.
During its first Falcon Heavy launch in February 2018, the firm landed two of the firms side boosters simultaneously on separate launchpads.
SpaceX is now testing a system to recover the fairings of its Falcon 9 rockets.
NASA subsequently tweeted: "Congratulations to @SpaceX on today's successful launch and landing of the Falcon Heavy rocket!"

Updated: Apr 30, 2021
In less than 20 years Elon Musk had gone from a successful tech entrepreneur to being the foremost engineering industrialist in the world, running a handful of companies that each had a colossal impact on the industries they would come to lead or dominate.
At the zenith of SpaceX’s ascendency Musk suddenly announced the sale of his controlling stake in the business to the US taxpayer. For many of his fans worldwide 2029 was a dark year, although in a short time it would pale to insignificance, at the time it was as if he were selling out the dream. Yes, Space X had succeeded in landing humans on Mars in 2032 aboard the Liberty Bell, but the duration of the visit was seven weeks, and no further human missions to the red planet were in the NASA planning pipeline.
The prospect of a return trip and the commencement of colonisation had seemed a real possibility in the first half of the decade but hopes faded as the US came to rely ever more on SpaceX as its primary launch contractor. The inflight emergency of Silver Bare in 2031 only reaffirmed the difficulties of space travel beyond the protective heliosphere of Earth and with the capacity of a Starship vehicle, NASA and America were reluctant to take the risks deemed necessary to establish a colony beyond the moon which, in any case, had been successfully colonized by 2027.
Burdened with the strategic work of government and space agency, Space X was no longer a company able or willing to take commercial risks. Musk understood this and was a major factor when it came to selling his share. Within a year, in the darkening days of the global depression, Musk announced the launch of his next space venture, aptly named Space Y? In answer to his own question, over the next couple years he contracted his old company to deliver 14 modules to the surface of the moon to establish Radix-M, an automated manufacturing facility. Rotated engineer teams followed, and the first off-world space yard was born.
In late 2033 under full impulse power, the Affinity Star departed the surface of the moon. Massing at 2,578 tonnes, this was the largest space vehicle ever to be launched into orbit. With just enough fuel on board to reach lunar orbit it would take another six months to fuel the Star and receive cargo delivered from Earth including nuclear fuel elements as part of the propulsive technology. In 2034 the Affinity Star left lunar orbit and returned to HEO to pick up a crew of 30 specialists and colonists before it set off to establish the first Martian colony.
In 2034, Space Y?’s Affinity Star departed Earth for Mars on the first formal colonisation mission. Elon Musk had delivered on his promise to colonise Mars, albeit ten years behind schedule. | aerospace |

The United Arab Emirates made history late Tuesday night, when the Hope Probe launched by the Gulf state seven months ago reached planet Mars after a 307 million mile journey. The UAE is now the first Arab nation to enter a probe into the red planet’s orbit, and only the fifth country ever to do so. Its national space program, established less than four years ago, spent over $200 million on the project, managing a successful liftoff from a Japanese space center in July. The Hope mission is expected to be joined by two additional American and Chinese probes, scheduled to arrive later this month. According to Abu Dhabi’s space agency, the UAE is developing plans for a Mars settlement as early as 2117. Also on Tuesday, Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan revealed his own space plans, announcing preparations for a moon landing by a Turkish rocket in 2023. Last month, Erdogan spoke with Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk regarding possible cooperation in space technology.

More than 200 personnel and 60 aircraft, including KC-135 Stratotankers and F-15E Strike Eagles, from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, arrived here from Sept. 11-12, 2018. “Because of Barksdale’s large runway, we are able to offer a space compatible for almost any airframe to land,” said Maj. Miguel Romero, 2nd Bomb Wing chief of plans and programs. “We also have a large airfield for multiple units to park their aircraft. Our ability to house them, and the fact that we are inland enough to not be as heavily impacted by natural disasters, makes us the perfect destination for evacuation.” While Barksdale’s mission typically consist of providing nuclear deterrence, combat power and combat support, Airmen from the 2nd BW are capable of adapting and meeting different requirements. “Part of our mission is to provide combat support which can take many forms.” Romero said. “Not only are we able to put bombers in the air and provide support, but we are also able to offer many of the visiting units communication support so they could continue their mission.” With Hurricane Florence’s unpredictable path, shelter was needed for many coastal units across the Department of Defense. Barksdale’s first-come, first-serve policy allowed for many units to seek refuge near their home base. “We aid in any unit in Florence’s path,” Romero said. “There are guard and reserve units down south that are along the Gulf Coast and others along the East Coast; they need our help. Luckily we were able to provide it.” Team Seymour Johnson’s leadership thanks Barksdale for their hard work and dedication to the mission. “HUREVAC means preserving our assets with a minimal team,” said Chief Master Sgt. Alexander Fortunato, 4th Air Maintenance Squadron, 334th Aircraft Maintenance unit chief. “We want to thank Barksdale for their efforts, we wouldn’t have had such a smooth transition here without everyone’s help.” Hurricane Florence is not the first and won’t be the last natural disaster to try and hinder Air Force missions, however Team Barksdale is committed to supporting the mission so nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force. | aerospace |

It laid the groundwork for the hypersonic aeronautical technologies found within stealth fighter planes in the sky today.
Some of the most technically advanced machines humans have ever built, these aircraft are designed to go nearly undetected by radar at high speeds. This ethos of high-performance, precision and reliability is the foundation for the limited-edition BR-X1 Military timepiece from Bell & Ross.
“The BR-X1 is indicative of our desire to always innovate and meet new challenges,” Bell & Ross Creative Director Bruno Belamich says. “[It] was created to push the boundaries in terms of design, watchmaking and technical sophistication.”
This philosophy puts the BR-X1 at the forefront of Bell & Ross’s Experimental Collection. As Belamich notes, “With this range, we have demonstrated a passion for the very latest technology and developed highly complex mechanisms for our watches. It also opened up a vast potential for creativity, mostly in customization, using a combination of materials makes the possibilities endless.”
That commitment to unconventional materials is evident in the 45mm case of this unique skeleton chronograph formed from a modification of Titanium Grade 5 alloy. The result is a subtlely hued, matte khaki high resistance titanium (HRT), an ultra-tough and corrosion-resistant material. Both lightweight and highly resilient, this military-inspired timepiece is complete with a perforated black rubber strap and luminous green display.

The lifting of coronavirus-related quarantine requirements in Spain and Portugal has prompted a substantial increase in travel demand. SWISS has seen its bookings for flights to these countries increase up to fivefold within a week. In response to this steep rise in its booking volumes, SWISS is expanding its flight offerings on routes from Zurich to Spain and Portugal for the Easter travel period. The increase will see both additional flights operated and the deployment of larger aircraft than were originally planned.
With the easing of certain travel restrictions, Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS) has experienced a significant increase in its flight booking volumes for the coming Easter season. Last weekend SWISS registered up to five times more bookings for flights in April to Spain and Portugal than it had seen the weekend before.
SWISS Chief Commercial Officer Tamur Goudarzi Pour explains: “As the examples of Spain and Portugal clearly show, lifting quarantine requirements and adopting reliable travel rules leads directly to tangible booking growth. Many people currently have a strong desire to make up for the travel they have recently missed, especially to the sun and the beach. And we’ve responded to this by expanding our SWISS services for the coming Easter travel season.”
Additional flights to Spain and Portugal
SWISS has reacted promptly to the increased travel demand by expanding its programme of services from Zurich for the coming weeks. Additional flights are being offered to Palma de Mallorca, Málaga, Barcelona, Alicante and Valencia. As a result, a total of 43 flights will be operated to Spain in the week of 29 March (compared to the 34 originally planned), and 59 such flights (compared to the 48 originally planned) will operate in the week of 5 April. SWISS services have also been increased to Porto and Lisbon in Portugal.
In some cases SWISS will also be deploying larger aircraft to offer more capacity to the destinations concerned. Some flights will thus be operated with Airbus A321 equipment, SWISS’s biggest short-haul aircraft with up to 219 passenger seats. The use of long-haul aircraft on such services is also being considered.
Standardized and digitalized travel documents needed
As part of the Lufthansa Group, SWISS is also working to help digitalize and standardize the document checks required to ensure travellers’ compliance with the various national medical entry provisions. If they can present the requisite documents in electronic form, travellers can be offered a faster and contactless check-in process. Several candidate concepts are currently being trialled to these ends.
Goudarzi Pour says: “Further structural expansion of our flight offerings requires the adoption of internationally recognized standardized and digitalized test and vaccination records.”
Full rebooking flexibility remains
SWISS will continue to closely monitor all further developments in entry requirements worldwide, and will expand its flight offerings wherever possible to meet its customers’ demand. SWISS will also continue to provide its customers with maximum assurance in their air travel plans by offering flexible rebooking options in all fare categories. Any SWISS ticket issued on or before 31 May 2021 can be rebooked free of charge any number of times up to 31 May 2021 and one further time thereafter. And any customer whose flight is cancelled can rebook free of charge or have the price of their ticket refunded.

You can now translate this and other curious droid videos, see my video about it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLPVgIytKyg

Back in the early 1950s, the B-52 was USAF’s main nuclear delivery platform but with the increasing sophistication of the Soviet defences, a new supersonic nuclear bomber was called for which would stretch the limits of the technology to beyond what was thought possible just a few years before.
The plane that would emerge from the WS-110 design process was the XB-70 Valkyrie. It would be one of the biggest in the world and capable of cruising at Mach 3, something which no aircraft of this type is capable of doing even today. It would also fly at 77,000 feet – 23,500 meters, have a range of 4,280 miles or 6,900 km and carry up to 14 nuclear weapons.
The problem with large planes and payloads is the need for powerful engines which in turn require a lot of fuel which also has to be carried making the plane heavier and reducing the available payload, so in the 40’s and 50’s alternative methods of propulsion were researched.
Nuclear was seriously considered as a power source for jet engines. A nuclear reactor would heat the air in place of jet fuel and could run for weeks or months without the need for refuelling.
But problems with the extra weight of the radiation shielding required for the crew and the low thrust output from early engine designs meant that it became unpractical. Also if a nuclear-powered plane crashed it would be a much bigger problem than a conventional jet due to the radioactive contamination.
If you want to find out more about Nuclear powered planes, trains and automobiles we have video on the link showing now.
Also during in the 1950’s, a new type of jet fuel was being developed called high energy fuel or Zip fuel. This could deliver up to 40% more energy for the same weight. This was achieved by adding boron, a high energy, low mass element.
The problem with this is that it made both the fuel and the exhaust toxic. When the Zip fuel was burned in the engines it produced solids that were sticky, corrosive and highly abrasive and created a lot of black smoke which could reveal the position of the plane even at high altitude. These solids built up on the turbine blades making them less efficient and in some case causing the engines to fail completely.
One method get around these issues was to use it in afterburners as this didn’t affect the engine itself. This would be used for the quick dash up to supersonic speeds over enemy territory whilst using normal jet fuel for the rest of the journey.
This and the high cost of making the Zip fuel and the inability to overcome the engine damage it caused meant that it also went the same way as the Nuclear powered engines and by 1959 Zip fuels were dropped too.
Both the Nuclear engines and the Zip fuels were proposed for the WS-110 before a new higher density type of conventional jet fuel called JP-6 was developed.
To overcome the extra fuel needed, the North American Aviation’s WS-110 design had “floating panels” at the end of the wings which were essentially huge fuel tanks, these would have been jettisoned when it went to supersonic leaving much shorter trapezoid shaped wings.

Commercial spaceflight company SpaceX had their third failed launch in a row last night when the Falcon 1 rocket began spinning out of control less than two minutes after liftoff in the Marshall Islands. Aboard the doomed rocket were the ashes 208 people including Star Trek actor James “Scotty” Doohan.
Space burial company Celestis charged people up to nearly $12,000 to get their ashes on Falcon 1 and promised that the ship could orbit the Earth for “between 10 years to 240 years.” Since this rocket failed to reach orbit, the 208 cremated space explorers are eligible for free rides on the next Celestis launch. If they wanted sci-fi funerals, Scotty and his fellow space aficionados probably would have been a lot better off beaming up to heaven Star Trek coffins. Celestis may be willing to try and shoot the ashes into space again free of charge, but their partner in the venture, SpaceX, has never really managed to get off the ground.
SpaceX was started in 2002 by Paypal founder Elon Musk as a low cost space delivery service. Since then, they’ve unsuccessfully tried to launch their Falcon 1 rocket three times. In 2006, the first SpaceX Falcon flight failed due to a fuel leak. Last year, the second Falcon 1 rocket made it to space, but got lost by SpaceX mission control.
SpaceX honcho Musk attempted to reassure his employees today with a message posted on his web site promising that the company “will not skip a beat” because “as a precautionary measure to guard against the possibility of flight 3 not reaching orbit” he’d duped some gullible investors into giving him “significant” funding right before this latest rocket debacle. Smooth move Mr. Musk. Maybe Richard Branson really isn’t the only billionaire with a future in space exploration. | aerospace |

What is a satellite?
A satellite can be a lot of things, essentially it’s anything that orbits another object in space. They can be natural, like a moon, or artificial, like the International Space Station. Artificial satellites have been used for decades for communications, to explore the planets in our solar system, and most importantly to turn their cameras towards Earth to keep an orbital eye on humanity.
Monitoring climate change with satellites
As the effects of the climate crisis and extreme weather are felt across the globe, remote sensing satellites launched by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA), and others are crucial in predicting how the changing climate will impact us in the long and short-term, and in giving us key information that can help us slow or stop that change. The first satellite in orbit, launched 64 years ago this October, was the first one to investigate the Earth’s atmosphere from space. The Soviet Union’s Sputnik-1 sent back information about the upper atmosphere during its three-week mission, including the density, temperature, and pressure of the ionosphere.
From there, scientists and engineers developed technology that can now monitor key information like changes in the amount of vegetation growing in rainforests, how much sea ice fluctuates over a year, and even the colour of the oceans. The last one is surprisingly important, it’s from this that we can observe the growth of phytoplankton, little aquatic photosynthesising plants, which are an incredibly important part of the ocean food chain. They also produce at least 50% of the oxygen we breathe, and their growth can be affected by warming oceans. Given their important contribution to the atmosphere, understanding them better is vitally important to a lot of life on Earth, including us.
Other changes in the oceans, in particular melting sea ice, have long been observed from space. As the polar ice caps melt, they’re not just impacted by climate change, they’re also driving it. As they release fresh water into the oceans, they could disrupt the Gulf Stream. This huge, global current of water is responsible for keeping the weather in Glasgow so balmy, relative to other cities on the same latitude, like Moscow. Without it, average temperatures in the UK could be set to get an awful lot colder, impacting life as we’re used to it in a big way. These long-term observations are key in our planning for the future.
Predicting extreme seasonal weather
Satellites can also help us predict sudden, seasonal weather events like hurricanes, monsoons, and periods of biting cold. The Beast from the East or the following heat wave in 2018 may have taken many of us by surprise, but on a website like NASA’s World View, you can watch the weather fronts as they move in, all from images taken from NASA’s Terra satellite.
Satellites can also play a huge role in the recovery after extreme weather too. Following the hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017, satellite data of the Caribbean islands was combed through by thousands of volunteers on the Zooniverse citizen science website, some of it in just a matter of hours. Damage to roads, buildings, and other infrastructure was spotted in pictures from space, and aid and rescue teams were able to be sent exactly where they were needed.
In the Planetarium we are often asked why so much money is spent on space missions, like NASA’s plans to return to the Moon, or the new rover that ESA are sending to Mars, when there are so many challenges being faced here on Earth. We usually answer that that significant amounts of the funding that space agencies get goes towards the Earth observation mentioned in this article. These missions directly benefit us and help us make decisions that will protect ourselves and this pale blue marble that we call home.

Robot dogs have been used by the US Air Force in one of the military's biggest ever high-tech experiments.
The robots took part in a training session between September 1 and September 3 at the Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. It was part of a larger exercise involving every branch of the US military, including the Coast Guard, across 30 locations between August 31 and September 3.
The Air Force tested the dog-like robots, called Vision 60, in an exercise that simulated landing on a potentially hostile airstrip. The robots were used to identify possible threats while human soldiers stayed close to their aircraft.
They have been created by Ghost Robotics to help with tasks including remote inspection, mapping, communications and security. They can be used on any type of terrain and carry different types of sensors and communications equipment.
remote inspection 遠隔検査
terrain təréɪn 自然的特徴からみた地域
"The dogs give us visuals of the area, all while keeping our defenders closer to the aircraft," said Master Sergeant Lee Boston.
They are less complex than other walking robots, which Ghost Robotics says makes them both tougher and more agile. The company calls them "unstoppable."
"unstoppable." 手が付けられない 止められない
The dogs are a part of the US military's Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS). The system uses artificial intelligence and rapid data analysis to find and eliminate threats to the military in space and to help locate possible attacks from missiles and other weapons on land.

This isn't the first time robot dogs have been tested by the US military. In 2012 it tested the AlphaDog, developed by Boston Dynamics, which was able to carry up to 180 kilograms and walk 32 kilometers without stopping. However, it was retired at the end of 2015 because it was so loud it was feared that it would give away troop positions.
Industry experts are growing more confident that robot systems will soon be ready to work alongside humans in real operations, taking over dangerous or physically demanding tasks.

The team behind Solar Impulse has the ambitious project to circumnavigate the world through the 17,000 solar cells on its wings and lithium batteries to fly at night.
This last part of the journey would have been the first attempt in history to cross the ocean in a five days and five nights non-stop flight.
However, the team has said this morning that the weather window to reach Hawaii had closed and that the crossing had become too dangerous. Therefore, the plane has been directed to Nagoya, in Japan.
Bertrand Piccard, Solar Impulse chairman said, “We are not daredevils, we are explorers. We have to put safety at the top of all of our priorities. Everyone is very happy with the plane – but the weather does not fit.
“We land in Nagoya and we wait for better conditions to continue.
“This is the exploration leg of the flight around the world. It will be an important milestone for aviation with an airplane capable for the first time ever to fly with unlimited endurance.”
Despite the stop, both Piccard and pilot André Borschberg are positive the flight will be a record-breaking success.
“If successful, this flight to Hawaii will demonstrate the credibility of the vision Bertrand had 16 years ago of an airplane flying for days without fuel to change our mindset regarding the enormous potential of clean technologies and renewable energies”, Borschberg said.

In an interview Sunday, Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the selection process will begin in 2020 as Pakistan and its partner China commence preparations to launch Pakistan’s first manned mission to space by 2022.
An initial shortlist of 50 candidates will be prepared and whittled down to the lucky one. While the Pakistani Air Force has been tipped to play a key role in the selection process, the minister did not state the extent of its involvement nor did he mention a target launch date.
Pakistan launched two satellites last year onboard Chinese Long March rockets from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi desert, so the two countries have some history of cooperation when it comes to space exploration.
Meanwhile, Chaudry has been trolling neighboring India over its failed moon landing in recent days. The Indian space program lost contact with its moon lander moments before it was due to touch down on the lunar surface.

You might be knowing drones but do you know what an Ornithopter is? If no, check out this super cool gadget named Meta Fly which is very similar to a drone that flies in the sky but its an ornithopter, that means, it is like a flying insect that can maneuver itself. Sounds amazing but does it actually work? Watch the video below and see for yourself. As per the manufacturer, this drone-like creature is a biomimetic controllable creature that can fly in the sky for around 8 minutes on a single charge. The range is about 100 meters which is definitely less but since this gadget is being used as a toy, that should be fine. The drone is very similar to a dragonfly both in terms of look and functionality. It is invented by ‘BionicBird’ which had previously brought out another bird looking drone in late 2014. You can back Meta Fly on Kickstarter.
MetaFly – A Cool Biomimetic Controllable Creature
Product Description (As per the Manufacturer):
MetaFly is the result of more than 50 years of flight research and development. Starting in the 1960s, when my grandfather and father created the first mechanical flying bird, the TIM.

We are beginning a campaign to launch satellites that will provide high-speed Internet access from space.
But the first batch of these spacecraft, which have already sent into orbit by American company SpaceX, change the image of the night sky.
They appear as bright white streaks, so dazzling that outshine the stars.
Scientists worry that future “mega-constellation” of satellites can spoil images with optical telescopes and interfere with radio astronomy observation.
Dave Clements, an astrophysicist from Imperial College London, told BBC News: “the Night sky belongs to everyone and what is happening now is a total tragedy.”
Companies that launch satellites, said that collaborating with astronomers to minimize the impact of spacecraft.
Why launch a lot of satellites?
The whole thing in high-speed Internet access.
Unlike wires and cables with their limitations, satellites can provide access to the Internet directly from space.
And if the orbit a lot of them, even the most remote regions will be able to get a connection.
Now fly around the Earth only 2200 active satellites.
But the constellation Starlink project of the American company SpaceX, will start to send into orbit 60 satellites every few weeks. This means that before the end of the year will run about 1500 satellites, and by mid 2020-ies there can be for 12,000.
The British company OneWeb aims to nearly 650 satellites — but this figure could rise to 2000, if sufficient demand.
At the same time, Amazon is planning to create a constellation of 3200 spacecraft.
What excites astronomers?
In may and November Starlink sent 120 satellites into orbit at a height of less than 500 km.
But observers of the stars began to worry when their images appeared the spacecraft in the form of bright white flashes.
Dhara Patel, an astronomer with the Royal Observatory Greenwich, said: “These satellites are the size of a table, but their panels reflect a lot of sunlight. This means that we can see them on the images obtained by telescopes.
“These satellites are also actively using radio waves … and this means that they can affect signals which are used by astronomers. Therefore, this also affects radio astronomy,” adds the scientist.
She warns that with the increasing number of satellites in orbit, this problem will grow.
How can this affect research?
Clements believes that satellites can have a significant impact on surveillance.
“They’re in the foreground of the picture of the Universe that we see from Earth. Therefore, they interfere. And you will see everything outside of them — potentially hazardous asteroid near or distant quasar in the Universe,” he says.
The researcher notes that this will particularly affect the operation of telescopes, which make large-scale observations of the sky — for example, future Large SYNOPTIC observation telescope (LSST) in Chile.
He explains: “using LSST and other telescopes, we want to recreate all the changes of the sky in real time … Now the satellites interfere with observations — if someone goes and periodically includes a flash”.
At the same time, Professor Martin Barstow, an astrophysicist from the University of Leicester, said that some problems can be solved.
“The number of satellites seems intimidating, but in fact the large space — if they are all placed in the sky, their density is not too large,” he says.
“And because of the location of satellites are known, their impact can be mitigated. The satellite will point at the picture, it may look like a short flash of light, but you will know about it and can remove it from the image” — adds the scientist.
“To this end, the observatories will have to make an effort, but it can be done,” he concludes.
However, for radio astronomy such constellations can create more problems — especially for relatively new telescopes such as Square Kilometre Array (SKA).
Radio signals that use the satellites will differ from those who are looking for the astronomers, but according to Barstow, they can still interfere.
What say the company?
SpaceX told the BBC that they collaborated with international astronomers to minimize the impact of Starlink satellites.
At the next startup they are experiencing a special coating designed to make the spacecraft less bright.
In OneWeb say that I want to be a “leader of opinion in a responsible attitude to the cosmos” and withdraw their satellites in the altitude of 1200 km, so they do not interfere with astronomical observations.
Vice presidentcy OneWeb Ruth Pritchard-Kelly said: “We chose the orbit in the framework of our responsible use of outer space … And we also spoke with representatives of the astronomical community before launching to ensure that our satellites will not be too hard to reflect light and create interference for radio astronomy “.
She added that this is not a situation in which you must make a choice between communication and astronomy.
“There is no doubt that the whole world has the right to connect to the Internet … so it will happen,” she says.
“The issue in cooperation with other stakeholders, to ensure that they don’t interfere with already existing satellite technologies or mobile phones on the Earth, or the astronomical community. We know what to look for a solution together with everyone,” she concludes.
And while observers remain stars to look up to the sky to see will be able to reach a compromise. | aerospace |

When the Artemis system finally gets people to work on the moon’s surface the logical step to continue the program’s development would be to make it a catalyst for private sector profit. The profit motive tends to be self-sustaining bring more investment with it. N.A.S.A. should form a think tank to determine what manufacturing opportunities could be made to exist at the international base.
Certainly chemical rockets aren’t the future of human space travel. They are more of a boot strapping pioneering technology that has continued too far, when electromagnetic mass drivers, large ion engine, nuclear powered in-space rockets, particle beam and laser propulsion should evolve through engineering development fort a variety of ways of moving about the solar system quickly.
The unique opportunities for manufacturing on the moon- compared to Earth, such as very low gravity, the absence of an atmosphere and raw materials make it an obvious location for producing computer chips I would guess. Deposition of materials for semi-conductors, super-conducting evolution and so forth could bring a renaissance to the post-industrial era over-reliance on fossil fuels bogging the nation down in superfluous wars that would be somewhat more modern paradigmaticly. | aerospace |

The major components of an air speed indicator are:
- Mechanical Linkage
- Hair Spring
- Jewels and Pivots
A standard air speed indicator for general aviation comes in a 31/8 inch diameter case. This is a standard size for most general aviation indicators. It is important that an air speed case be air tight as the case contains the static pressure input.
A leaky air speed case will cause the indicator to give erroneous readings. There are two input ports on the back of the case. These ports are the Pitot port and the Static port. These ports are connected to aircraft Pitot tube and Static port respectively.
A diaphragm is essentially a balloon made of very thin metal. Typical metals used for this purpose are copper or brass. The diaphragm is sealed at all points except for one very thin pressure input tube. This tube is located directly in the center of the back face of the diaphragm. The pressure tube is connected directly to the Pitot port. The thickness of the metal used in manufacturing the diaphragm will determine the range of the air speed indicator (thin = low speed, thick = high speed). It is important to note that this diaphragm is extremely delicate. Picking up a unit a blowing air into the input port will damage the diaphragm.
The dial will contain the speed information and any pertinent range marks.
The pointer points to the current speed of the aircraft as indicated on the dial.
The mechanical linkage connects the pointer to the diaphragm.
The hair spring returns the pointer to zero when pressure is removed from the indicator.
Jewels and Pivots
The pivot is the spindle or axle for the pointer. Jewels are glass bearings on which the pivot rotates. | aerospace |

India’s aviation safety regulator issued such an order after European Union’s aviation safety agency EASA grounded all flights in the bloc by Boeing’s 737-8 and 737-9 aircraft following Sunday’s deadly plane crash in Ethiopia.
The Civil Aviation Ministry will also hold a meeting with airlines at 4 pm today to arrange a contingency plan as a number of flights have to been cancelled in the changed scenario following the suspension.
In India, SpiceJet and Jet Airways are the only two airlines company that operate the 737 MAX jet aircrafts. While Jet’s all five 737 MAX’s are grounded due to the airline’s financial issues, Spicejet has been allowed to fly till 4 pm today, so as to cater to situations where aircraft are to fly back to India or go to a maintenance facility for parking.
In a press statement, SpiceJet said, it has cancelled 14 of its flights today in line with the DGCA deadline and accommodated its passengers on alternate flights or offered a full refund. The airline said it would be operating additional flights from tomorrow.
On Sunday, a 787 Max aircraft of Ethiopian Airlines was involved in a second deadly accident in less than five months. All 157 onboard, including three Indians, were killed after an Ethiopian Airlines flight crashed en route to Kenya. In October last year, another 787 Max aircraft operated by Lion Air crashed killing over 180 people in Indonesia.
Following the crashes, multiple airlines across the globe announced the suspension of flight operations of Boeing’s flagship narrow body aircraft 787 Max.
The United States is one of the few remaining operators of the jet. The U.S. aviation regulator said it would not ground the planes and that a review “shows no systemic performance issues and provides no basis to order grounding the aircraft.” US-based Boeing, the company that builds the 787 Max has said it has no reason to pull the popular aircraft from the skies and does not intend to issue new recommendations about the aircraft to customers. | aerospace |

The principle of the kinetic impactor mitigation method is that the NEO or Asteroid is deflected following an impact from an impactor spacecraft. The principle of momentum transfer is used, as the impactor crashes into the NEO at a very high velocity of 10km/s or more. The mass and velocity of the impactor (the momentum) are transferred to the NEO, causing a change in velocity, causing it to deviate from its course slightly.
A reconnaissance spacecraft is also required, which allows accurate measurement of the NEO’s orbit before the impact. Additionally, the reconnaissance spacecraft can map the NEO, providing the impactor with vital information such as its exact size, shape, rotation speed and even chemical composition.
Following the impact, the reconnaissance spacecraft once again accurately measures the orbit of the NEO to confirm the success of the impact in changing the NEO’s course.
The behavior of the impact itself, and how the momentum is transferred to the NEO, is a key research topic for the scientific side of the NEOShield project.
For example, if the impact blasts material from the surface of the NEO out into space this increases the efficiency of the impact because this material transfers additional momentum to the NEO.
The kinetic impactor concept has been studied to phase A level within Europe in the frame of the Don Quijote mission study. The experience gained from this study has been used during the NEOShield project in developing the detailed test mission design for the kinetic impactor mitigation method.
A target NEO suitable for the NEOShield kinetic impactor test mission has been selected based on the following criteria:
- “Earth safety first!“, meaning that under no circumstances the planetary threat after completion of the mission must be higher than before.
- The deflection of the target NEO owing to the deflection action must be significant enough to be clearly detectable. This excludes NEOs above a certain size.
- Duration of the kinetic impactor test mission not to exceed 7 years
As NEO suited best under the above criteria the asteroid 2001QC34 has been identified. This NEO is a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid but is presently predicted to miss the Earth orbit by more than eleven lunar distances.
|Properties of Target NEO 2001 QC34|
|Mass||31 million tonnes|
|Shape||potato-like, with a length-to-width ratio of about 1.5|
|Mineral composition||silicates, metals|
|Minimum distance between Earth orbit and target NEO orbit||11.4 times the Earth -Moon distance (about 3% of the Sun-Earth distance)|
In the figure above the constellation of minimum separation between Earth and NEO orbit is indicated by a small blue and a small red dot, respectively.
Note that 2001 QC34 passes here the Earth within the Earth’s orbit and not too far from the point where 2001 QC34 comes closest to the Sun (the NEO’s perihelion).
In order to increase the separation between Earth and NEO orbit it is consequently necessary to reduce the semi-major axis of the NEO’s orbital ellipse.
This can be achieved by reducing the orbital velocity of 2001 QC34 by a kinetic impact transferring momentum to the NEO in anti-flight direction.
The preferred mission scenario for the NEOShield kinetic impactor test mission is based on launching an reconnaissance spacecraft and an impactor spacecraft together as a stack on a Soyuz rocket from Kourou in French Guiana. In launch configuration the reconnaissance spacecraft will be mounted on top of the impactor spacecraft.
The latter remains throughout the mission mated with Fregat, the upper stage of the Soyuz launcher. Even after having used up its propellant the significant dry mass of the Fregat substantially helps increasing the momentum that is imparted to the target NEO when the impactor crashes into it.
After having reached interplanetary space the reconnaissance spacecraft is separated from the impactor. From now on both spacecraft have to follow separate trajectories.
The reconnaissance spacecraft has to reach the target NEO several months earlier than the impactor in order to leave sufficient time for NEO exploration and orbit determination. The trajectory of the impactor is designed such as to maximize the velocity relative to the target NEO.
Before the impactor reaches the target NEO the reconnaissance spacecraft is placed in a position which is favorable for observing the impact but at a distance sufficiently large to avoid it being hit by NEO debris from the impact.
The figure above shows the NEOShield reconnaissance spacecraft mated with the impactor and the Fregat under the (transparent) Soyuz fairing in launch configuration. Fregat is protruding the fairing at the bottom. The green cones shown above represent fields of view of instruments and sensors.
A combined launch of reconnaissance and impactor spacecraft on the same rocket has been selected for the NEOShield kinetic impactor test mission.
This requires complicated trajectories for the two spacecraft including several swing-by manoeuvres by planets to give the crafts the correct speed, and allow them to arrive at the target NEO at different times.
In the terminal phase when the impactor spacecraft finally approaches the selected target NEO it has to operate under adverse illumination conditions.
Due to the large Sun phase angle of the approach trajectory, 2001 QC34 is nearly dark from the perspective of the impactor, i.e. the impactor hits the asteroid on the dark side, not on the sunlit side (illustrated in the figure below).
The figure illustrates in addition the velocities of impactor and NEO and, most importantly, the relative velocity of the impactor with respect to 2001 QC34 (about 9 km/s).
Note that the shape shown for this NEO does not claim to be realistic. Its precise shape is not known to date except for its length-to-width ratio of 1.5. The impactor spacecraft needs to be guided such that it hits the NEO preferably along a line passing through the NEO center of mass.
Therefore its position offset relative to the NEO’s center of brightness, which is captured by the on-board navigation camera, must be known to the impactor.
When the impactor spacecraft approaches the target NEO, the reconnaissance spacecraft has to acquire an observation position at a safe distance from and in a safe orientation towards the impact site.
The position must be such that material ejected by the impact are unlikely to hit and damage the reconnaissance spacecraft.
A distance of several thousand kilometers is deemed to be safe.
At the time of the impact the NEO is at a distance from the Earth of 1.8 times the Earth-Sun distance. This means that the transmission of a signal down to ground takes 15 minutes roughly. The consequence of this high latency is the need for a high degree of on-board autonomy, in particular on the impactor spacecraft.
The impactor spacecraft is supposed to crash into the selected target NEO with high precision and velocity. In order to maximize the momentum transfer during the impact, the impactor spacecraft remains mated to Fregat, the Soyuz upper stage, throughout the mission. This composite is shown in the following figure.
The body-mounted octagonal solar array on top of the composite is permanently oriented towards the Sun.
During the terminal approach to 2001 QC34 the two hot-redundant navigation cameras NAC1, NAC2 are oriented towards the NEO and provide guidance information for trajectory control.
The green cones represent the fields of view of the three star trackers used for attitude control.
The dry mass of the impactor composite amounts to 1336 kg, whereof Fregat (essentially consisting of six connected spheres of equal size) contributes 902 kg.
A suite of antennas (low-gain (LGA), medium-gain (MGA) and high-gain (HGA)) provides for communication with ground and with the reconnaissance spacecraft. For orbit and attitude control the spacecraft features a chemical propulsion system and four reaction wheels.
The reconnaissance spacecraft is supposed to:
- precisely determine the target NEO orbit before and after the kinetic impact
- determine the material composition of the target NEO
- determine the surface geometry and rotation state of the target NEO
- observe the kinetic impact of the impactor spacecraft (cratering, ejecta)
To meet these objectives, two cameras, a LIDAR and a spectrometer for the visual and the near infrared band form part of this spacecraft.
The cameras will also be used for navigation purposes.
Radio science for precise orbit determination is possible by using suitable RF transponders.
A suite of antennas (low-gain (LGA), medium-gain (MGA) and high-gain (HGA)) provides for communication with ground and with the impactor spacecraft.
The dry mass of the reconnaissance spacecraft amounts to 574 kg. In order to minimise this mass a combination of an electrical with a chemical propulsion system has been selected. | aerospace |

Normally when I fly back to Columbus I fly from Bangor International Airport and connect in Philadelphia, or LaGuardia, or Reagan National for the second-leg flight to Columbus. But the last few times I’ve done that, my flight out of Bangor has been delayed and my connecting flight has been blown. As a result, I’ve had to spend hours in airport concourses, waiting for another flight back to Columbus. Normally, this wouldn’t be too bad, but the current masking requirement means you spend 9, 10, or 11 hours straight in a mask, breathing your own exhaust and trying to resist the constant urge to scratch your nose, and that pushes the experience into the “to be avoided at all costs” zone.
So I did some research, and found that there is one direct flight from the Portland, Maine International Jetport to Columbus. I’m on it today, It will require a long drive–a bit over three hours, total–because Portland is well to the south, and there are no short drives when you are talking about the shoreline-hugging roads of coastal Maine. But I like driving, when I’m in my car I can listen to music in a blessedly mask-free environment, and if Mother Nature and air traffic controllers and aircraft maintenance technicians and all of the other things that might delay a flight cooperate, I’ll minimize the masked time and probably spend about the same amount of time in transit as I would doing the two-hop trip from Bangor.
I respect the governmental air travel masking requirement and will faithfully comply with it, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it, or that it isn’t worth seeing whether there are viable options to avoid it. Today will test the direct versus indirect hypothesis, and the limits of my mask-avoidance options. | aerospace |

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency intends to conduct a test of a ground-based interceptor between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from an underground silo on North Base.
"The 30th Space Wing has a long and proud history of working diligently alongside our Missile Defense Agency partners to provide safe launch operations for missile defense tests," said Col. Shane Clark, 30th Space Wing vice commander, who also will give the final permission for the launch to occur.
"It's an honor for the wing to work with the Missile Defense Agency and other mission partners on this test mission which is extremely important to our national security,” Clark added.
This week’s mission calls for just one liftoff and no intercept attempt, although many past missile-defense tests at Vandenberg did involve an interceptor launch taking aim at a target weapon that blasts off from either the Kwajalein Atoll or Alaska,
The primary purpose of this week's test launch, once planned for 2015, is to demonstrate the performance of “alternate divert thrusters” on the interceptor vehicle in a flight environment, Missile Defense Agency officials said.
While the problem initially was addressed with software upgrades, the redesigned component is expected to fix the fundamental root cause of the problem.
“This will be a great test in terms of engineering learning,” Syring told the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The three-stage interceptor will be used in a non-intercept flight test against an air-launched intermediate-range ballistic missile filled with countermeasures and decoys.
This will allow the test's secondary purpose to conduct advanced target discrimination with a goal of boosting system performance, officials said.
The test will be conducted by the 30th Space Wing, the Missile Defense Agency and U.S. Northern Command.
Later this year, the agency plans to conduct a full intercept test with countermeasures, Syring said.
In 2017, the schedule calls for a “salvo” test with two ground-based interceptors against one ICBM target with a hope of learning what the second interceptor observes.
The ground-based missile-defense systems has 26 interceptors on alert in Alaska plus four at Vandenberg.
The agency plans to boost the number of intercepts on alert to 44 by the end of 2017. | aerospace |

Ciò che viene ritirato dal servizio attivo, si cerca di preservarlo in ogni modo e, se possible, in condizioni di volo.
Altrimenti, musei e gate guardians sono la sede finale di pezzi che vuoi o non vuoi hanno segnato la storia dell’aviazione e probabilmente dell’industria e della nazione stessa.
In altre nazioni, purtroppo, gli aerei dismessi vengono ritirati dal servizio quasi con disonore, rimangono ai margini delle piste per essere cannibalizzati dai pochi fortunati (o privilegiati) prima di essere ceduti come rottami. Solo poche macchine riescono a finire la loro carriera in qualche museo o come guardiani di qualche base.
Un jet poco noto alle nostre latitudini è sicuramente il BAC Strikemaster 167.
La British Aircraft Corporation ha sviluppato il BAC 167 Strikemaster come versione armata di un addestratore di grande successo, il Jet Provost.
La cellula è stato rafforzata e da un’armatura protettiva, installati punti d’attacco sotto le ali per carichi di caduta, vano per mitragliatrici e la sua motorizzazione ebbe una versione appositamente aggiornata della turbo ventola Viper Rolls-Royce.
Il risultato ottenuto è stato un velivolo adatto sia per l’attacco diurno e formazione avanzata dei piloti, finalizzato in gran parte ai paesi meno in grado di permettersi jets da combattimento più prestanti e costosi.
Il primo Strikemaster ha preso il volo nel 1967 ed è entrato in linea con le aviazioni di Botswana, Ecuador, Kenya, Kuwait, Nuova Zelanda, Oman, Arabia Saudita, Singapore, Sud Yemen e Sudan.
Di questi, Ecuador, Oman e Yemen del Sud hanno utilizzato il velivolo in combattimento.
Tutti gli Strikemasters sono stati ritirati dal servizio attivo, ma molti continuano a volare in mani private tra cui l’ex-Royal Air Force ed ex-Oman Mk82A di proprietà della North Wales Military Aviation Services che ha portato in volo il suo esemplare durante l’International Air Tattoo 2016 tenutasi a Fairford.
Riporto un estratto dal sito ufficiale dedicato a questa icona dell’aviazione inglese e di diversi paesi che hanno acquistato “Made in UK” con dettagli ed aneddoti più approfonditi che, seppur in lingua inglese, sono veramente interessanti e consentono ai lettori di respirare un altro pezzo di aviazione storica per noi praticamente sconosciuta.
Dal sito web www.bacstrikemaster.co.uk
‘425’ was the last of the many, well the last Strikemaster.
It was intended to fulfil one part of a contract to supply 10 to Sudan. However, due to an arms embargo only three of the aircraft got delivered. Three completed airframes were kept at Warton and occasionally flown, before being sold to Ecuador Air Force a couple of years later. The remaining airframes were unfinished, and all the major components that had been built were placed in storage at British Aerospace’s Bournemouth factory.
During 1984, the SOAF (Sultan of Oman’s Air Force) lost one of its Strikemaster aircraft in a flying accident, and it later placed an order for a replacement aircraft with BAe (British Aerospace). A new aeroplane was constructed using various stored components left over from the embargoed Sudan and other previous orders. The end result was a complete Strikemaster without a set construction number or date. Strikemaster Mk.82A ‘425’ was born, with the airframe taking on its military identity as its construction number.
‘425’ was ferried to Oman by two serving SOAF pilots in the summer of 1986. On arrival the aeroplane commenced service with 1 Sqn. based at RAFO Masirah, alongside the Air Force’s other Strikemaster airframes. It remained in service until the type was decommissioned in 1999.
425 was later ferried to RAFO Seeb(N) – Seeb North, and employed as an instructional airframe with the AFTC (Air Force Technical College) with four other Strikemasters. The remainder of the Strikemaster fleet was dispersed and most became gate guardians at various RAFO airfields. All the aircraft at Seeb(N) were kept as ‘live’ training aids, but with all cartridges from the seats, canopy, and pylons removed.
In late 2004, following a considerable amount of negotiations UK-based North Wales Military Aviation Services acquired 425. Its engineers dismantled the aeroplane, and had it shipped back to the UK by sea. It arrived in the UK in January 2005, and was moved by road to NWMAS’ base at Hawarden.
Restoration began immediately, and just six months later following intense work by the NWMAS engineers 425, now registered G-SOAF, was returned to the air. It made its UK debut at Waddington airshow in the static display, and followed up with appearances at Fairford and RNAS Yeovilton. During 2007 it attended several events, including Kemble where it participated in the flying display, and these appearances continued into 2008.
During 2009, G-SOAF became one of the founder airframes of the newly-formed Team Viper, a four-ship Strikemaster display team made up of owners/pilots spread across the UK. SOAF appeared with the team at every commitment throughout the airshow season, and looks set to continue as a permanent fixture in 2010.
The original concept of the Strikemaster was as a result of the export success of the Jet Provost.
The British Aircraft Corporation, based at Warton, began work on the design of this new type, which would be based on the Mk.5 Jet Provost. This aircraft would be able to perform both the training role and light attack duties, and be available at a price that smaller nations could afford, thus improving its chances in the export market.
The project was originally labelled the BAC 166 and work began on producing an airworthy test-bed.
The prototype was rolled out of the Lancashire factory and it took its first flight on 26 October 1967. The comparisons with the JP T.5, which first flew a few months previously were clearly evident, but this aircraft had several additional features.
The airframe was strengthened with armour put in place, an up-rated Rolls Royce Viper 525 engine capable of 3410lb of thrust was fitted, and eight stores hard-points were installed beneath the wings, enabling the Strikemaster to carry light armament and drop tanks. The fuel system layout was also revised and the landing gear was shortened to be more suitable for rough field operations, conditions that potential export customers were likely to encounter.
Inside the cockpit there were several changes; comprehensive communications and navigational equipment was installed, as well as two up-rated Martin Baker ejection seats fitted. The type was also given a new official classification – the BAC.167. In a combat configuration the Strikemaster could be fitted with two .303 machine-guns, each with 525 rounds of ammunition. The eight hard-points enabled external loads such as 3,000 lbs. of bombs, rockets or Napalm to be carried underneath the wings.
With the first aircraft built and flying, work began by BAC to generate interest in the design, which would hopefully be followed by firm orders. Initial signs were good that the Strikemaster would be a success, with several nations showing interest.
It was decided by BAC that each country of sale would have its own variation or mark of Strikemaster. The Saudi Arabian Air Force were the first nation to place an order, for the Mk.80 version. This Air Force turned out to be the main export customer, they ordered 47 examples in total, spread over three batches, and were delivered between 1968 and 1977.
The Air Force of South Yemen acquired four Mk.81 Strikemasters in 1969, and Mk.82s were delivered to the Sultan of Oman Air Force around the same time. The Kuwait Air Force originally ordered the Mk.83, with deliveries commencing in 1970.
After a career spanning some 15 years they were withdrawn in 1985 and traded back to British Aerospace (BAe). The surviving aircraft were flown back to Warton, using UK military serials (ZG805-813) and placed in store. In 1987 BAe sold the aircraft, now all completely rebuilt, to the Botswana Defence Force. Deliveries commenced the same year and were completed by the end of 1988. The Mk.83s stayed in service with the Air Force, until retirement in 1997.
Other customers included the Singapore Air Force, which ordered 16 examples of the Mk.84 Strikemaster in 1968 and delivered in 1969. Kenya received examples of the Mk.87 Strikemaster, and they stayed in service until being replaced by the BAe Hawk.
The surviving aircraft were passed onto the Botswana Defence Force, where they served with the country’s existing fleet of Mk.83s until retirement in 1997.
The New Zealand government placed an order in 1970, and their first Mk.88 aircraft (NZ6361) was delivered in 1972, with the remaining aircraft on order reaching the RNZAF in 1975. These continued in service for the next twenty years before retirement in 1993.
The country of Ecuador ordered eight Strikemaster Mk.89 aircraft, and these were delivered in 1972. Eight further examples, designated Mk.89As, were delivered in 1976. The last new-build export customer for the Strikemaster was to be Sudan.
Ten Mk.90 aircraft were ordered, and were built at Warton, with assembly moving to the Bournemouth factory as late as 1984. However, an arms embargo prevented seven aircraft being delivered, and instead six were sold to Ecuador, with the other going to Oman.
The BAC Strikemaster set a world record for the number of repeat orders placed, and a total of 146 were used collectively by ten different nations. Examples in Oman, South Yemen, and Ecuador all saw combat during their service careers, with most of the Oman Air Force fleet sustaining battle damage. The type coped so well in such environments it soon earned a reputation for being a very tough aircraft. | aerospace |

Black box repack
In the five days since Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed a few minutes after taking off from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people aboard, regulators around the world have grounded the Boeing 737 MAX 8. That’s a reaction to the fact that the circumstances of this disaster match those of Lion Air Flight 610, another 737 MAX 8, which crashed into the Java Sea in October, killing all 189 occupants. But to find out what actually brought down the Ethiopian jet, investigators must get to the vital data stored on the plane’s two black boxes. Those boxes are the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder. Both use solid state hard drives, with memory cards on a circuit board. The first logs all the details that together provide a picture of everything the plane was doing as much as 25 hours before a crash: the positions of various switches, engine settings, airspeed, altitude, and more than 1,000 other parameters.

By Andy Pasztor The Wall Street Journal Thu., Feb. 7, 2019 Honeywell International Inc. is introducing a new line of aircraft cockpit and flight-data recorders that offer more data-storage capacity and the ability, for the first time, to use satellites to retrieve accident information in real time. Honeywell officials and other proponents of the new technology said the devices, commonly called black boxes, promise major benefits for future plane crash investigations. Such options have been debated for years by aviation industry officials, and have been championed by many safety advocates and accident investigators. The aim is to ensure vital crash data can be gathered quickly, avoiding the uncertainties of lengthy and sometimes fruitless searches for conventional recorders. Without satellite data-streaming, investigators so far have had to find and physically recover black boxes—sometimes from miles underwater or remote mountain peaks—before being able … [Read more...] about New black boxes offer ability to send real-time data from plane crashes
The airline black box is getting an upgrade for the Internet of things and data analytics age. Honeywell and Curtiss-Wright are planning to use satellite connectivity and streaming data to reinvent the airplane black box recorder. The airplane black box is designed to record flight data and give investigators key information in the event of a crash. The problem with the current black box approach is that investigators often struggle to find it after a crash. Honeywell and Curtiss-Wright plan to launch next-generation Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVRs) and Flight Data Recorders (FDRs) that are always connected.

ULA which builds rockets, wanted to provide children a learning environment to help celebrate the landing of the rover on Mars.
The kids, ages 8 – 13, got to find out what goes on when a rocket is sent into space. The kids learned all about the Atlas 5 rocket, (aka Atlas) which was built by United Launch Alliance (ULA) and took over 2 years to build. It launched in November, 2011. Atlas also carries the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover (MSL) that took over 8 years to build.
After learning all about rockets and MSL, it was time to pretend we were mission control at NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). The kids had a script to follow and everyone had their own calls signs or acronyms as their job. The launch commander (LC) would say “Standby on command channel for launch countdown status checks.” Next the ALO (Atlas Liquid Oxygen) would say “First stage liquid oxygen at flight level, and topping started” The kids went through the script like clockwork and when completed, the clock time read “T – 10.” Let the final countdown begin 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1.. LIFTOFF!
Sofia Chavez, one of the participants said “learning about rockets and launching them is an experience she’ll never forget.” The excitement built throughout the simulated launch experience, ending with everyone shouting “GO ATLAS, GO CENTAUR, GO MSL,” as they watched a replay of the actual launch back in November. It truly was an exciting opportunity to learn about what ULA goes through when building and launching rockets. I can’t wait to watch what the MSL will bring to us from Mars.

With veteran astronauts leaving the space agency, NASA is considering the needs of the future.
“We need people to help plan for this future of exploration,” says NASA Administrator Charles Bolden.
Although the space shuttle fleet has recently retired, a handful of astronauts are needed each year for a trip to the International Space Station on a Russian Soyuz spaceship. And while it's more than a decade away, NASA eventually hopes to fly astronauts in a government-owned Orion capsule to an asteroid or even Mars.
The program is open to U.S. citizens who must meet the following requirements:
Given these certain flight requirements, NASA expects to receive around 3,000 qualified applications. The final selection for this latest candidate class won't be made until 2013.
“Join NASA. Get your application in now for the 2013 astronaut candidate class. Your spaceflight experience begins right now,” says Bolden.

Aboard the Command Module (CM) Charlie Brown were mission Commander Thomas P. Stafford, CM Pilot John Young and Lunar Module (LM) Pilot Eugene Cernan. This mission was the first "all up" test of the Apollo spacecraft system that would eventually land on the Moon, including the Lunar Module. The stated mission of Apollo 10 was to "demonstrate crew, space vehicle and mission support facilities during a manned lunar mission and to evaluate LM performance in cislunar and lunar environment." It was designed to duplicate every event of the historic Apollo 11 landing, except the landing itself. On 22 May, Stafford and Cernan entered the Lunar Module Snoopy, which then separated from the Command Module and prepared to descend to 14 km above the lunar surface. In a critical phase just prior to firing the ascent stage after separating from the descent stage, an incorrectly set navigation system switch triggered the Reaction Control System (RCS) into trying to compensate, causing the Lunar Module to tumble out of control.
"Gimbal lock!" Stafford barked. This would result in the loss of the navigation platform and was potentially catastrophic. They fought to regain control of the spacecraft, even as it spun and jerked from the mixed signals fed by the navigation radar to the RCS, and together they brought the LM under control. They proceeded with the ascent stage firing and Stafford and Cernan successfully rendezvoused with John Young in the CM. It had been a heart-stopping moment, but one that experienced pilots and astronauts like Stafford and Cernan were equipped to handle. They had averted a disaster that could have sent the Lunar Module crashing into the surface of the Moon, killing the crew and dashing America's goal of landing men on the Moon and returning them safely to Earth. Their cool thinking and fast responses saved the mission. Apollo 10 achieved all its goals and kept America on track for landing Neil Armstrong and "Buzz" Aldrin on the Moon in the summer of 1969.
For Cernan, the Moon had come so tantalizingly close. But he would one day return to the Moon, and not only walk on its surface, but drive there, just as Wernher von Braun had predicted.

Well, after sitting through a recent media briefing with the developers, we’ve got good and bad news for you.
For those blissfully unaware of how the rocket works in Orbital, let us explain. The map, although fairly big, is focused around a rocket launch site, where soldiers, vehicles, and aircraft come to play. Except in this levolution, the rocket launch sequence is automated and it’s up to players whether they allow the rocket to take off or destroy it – and the launch site – before it can take to the skies.
If the rocket doesn’t take enough damage during the six-minute launch sequence, it will take off, flying into the atmosphere. And if you’re stupid enough to be sitting on top of it, you too can join the crew inside – at least for a little bit.
In response to a question from IGN’s Jesse Gomez, level designer Kalle Nystrom says you can ride the rocket but “you can’t go into space.” Instead, you’ll be able to ride the rocket for a little while, but you’ll need to figure out when to jump off “before it’s too late.”
While next-gen technology certainly has allowed DICE to get creative with the traditional Battlefield sandbox, it clearly isn’t enough to take players into space. Still, we can’t wait to see some impressive mid-air shots from the beta with players sailing back down to earth from a quick trip to the skies. | aerospace |

After more than two months since the ExoMars spacecraft launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the In-Orbit Commissioning Review (IOCR) phase was successfully completed. Thales Alenia Space has in fact submitted a report to the European Space Agency (ESA) that confirms the full functionality of the spacecraft’s two constituent modules: EDM (Entry and Descent Module) and TGO (Trace Gas Orbiter).
In particular, the tests on the TGO during the LEOP phase confirmed that the satellite’s temperatures are within operational limits; the propulsion subsystem (Reaction Control System RCS) is operating as expected and energy consumption is nominal. The electrical parameters (voltage and current) remain stable in relation to the results of tests on Earth. While ExoMars continues its journey towards Mars, Thales Alenia Space is completing its negotiations with ESA concerning activities for the follow-on of the interplanetary cruise, Mars approach and operational phases.
Thales Alenia Space has recently signed a Record of Agreement with ESA for the second mission of this program, the Rover and Surface Platform Mission, expected to take place at the end of 2020.
The next milestones foreseen by October are:
• Mid-June – second TGO payload and EDM check-out.
• Beginning of July – commissioning of the main TGO engine by performing a slight powered maneuver.
• July 28 - DSM (Deep Space Maneuver), to place the spacecraft into the trajectory needed for it to land on Mars.
• August 11 – trajectory adjustment.
• September-October – simulation of the landing on Mars.
• October 16 – EDM separates from the orbiter.
• October 19 –TGO enters into Martian orbit, while the EDM simultaneously lands on Mars. | aerospace |
