Flight Planner for DJI is developed by Aerobotics to provide pilots and clients with an easy-to-use mission planning application that also integrates with our online Aeroview platform. The user is able to create custom survey missions or generate missions based on the boundaries they have drawn on Aeroview.
Click here to download it for free on the Play Store.
* Please note that the Flight Planner App for DJI is only compatible with Android versions greater than 5.0 and less than or equal to 9.0.
Planning a mission
- Download the Aerobotics Flight Planner Application for DJI on the Play Store (Android only).
- Open the Aerobotics Flight Planner App on your mobile device/tablet.
- Sync your Aeroview Boundaries to the Flight Planner App.
- Select a block you want to fly by tapping on it, to fly a bigger Boundary, select multiple blocks.
- Generate a mission by tapping the 'Generate Mission' button.
- To draw a custom mission tap on the 'Pen' icon, and draw the custom boundary with your finger.
- Once you release your finger it will generate a boundary.
- Adjust the boundary by holding onto the blue markers and dragging them where best suited. Pull the boundaries out slightly to ensure you have enough coverage.
- To access the parameters, click on the 'Mission' icon. Ensure you select the correct drone which will determine the camera settings, such as the white balance. Select the correct speed based on the height you want to fly at. Ensure you select the 'Sunny' setting if it is sunny and the 'Cloudy' setting if there is cloud cover.
- Hatch Angle is dependent on the Boundary. Adjust the hatch until the flight path is parallel to the longest sides of the boundary.
- Once it says 'Ready to Go (good)' Click 'Start' and the drone will automatically take off, fly the mission, return, and then land.
- To delete a mission, tap on the 'Delete Mission' icon.
- Telemetry icons in order from the left. Battery percentage, flight mode, radio signal strength, distance from home, altitude and GPS status.
Ensuring the correct overlap
- Getting the correct overlap of drone imagery is important to ensure successful data processing. Aerobotics requires 75% overlap and side lap, which can be set through the Flight Planner App. However, this overlap is set relative to your takeoff point, thus where you take off from is important.
- Please do NOT take off from the lower part of your mission. This will reduce overlap between images where the terrain is higher than the takeoff point.
- Take off from near the highest part of your mission. This will increase overlap as the terrain gets lower than the takeoff point.
- Make sure to fly one full boundary per flight and not capture half a boundary on one flight and the other half on another flight. This isn't always possible but please try to avoid this.
- A flight should never be carried out if there is more than a 30m elevation gain. The height above ground should never exceed 120m. Therefore, if there is a 30m elevation difference, you should fly from the highest point and set the height to 80/90m. If you are worried about lower resolution imagery when flying steep slopes, break the mission up into separate flights with different takeoff points.
- When flying areas with steep slopes, it is best to fly along the contour of the slope. | aerospace |

It occurred in response to a Russian violation: the illegal deployment of a ground-launched cruise missile, the 9M792. However, Russia’s violation was not the only factor for Washington. As a non-signatory to the INF Treaty, China’s major build-up of its regional ballistic and cruise missile force has seriously eroded the U.S. conventional military advantage in East Asia.
In response to the threat posed by China’s missile force, some experts have proposed that the United States and its allies deploy ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles of their own as a way to re-establish a more favorable conventional military balance in the region. There are significant military benefits to such a proposal: Ground-based systems are highly survivable, cost effective, and would help increase magazine capacity.
But the political challenges associated with deploying ground-launched missile systems in democratic states are significant. A more effective strategy would be for the United States and its allies to: 1) improve their air- and sea-based cruise missile capabilities in the region; 2) advance pragmatic arms control and risk reduction measures aimed at enhancing dialogue and limiting Chinese missile capabilities; and 3) enhance the resiliency of their critical infrastructure, especially space and cyber systems.
Over the past decade, China has significantly improved its military capabilities, especially those designed to prevent potential adversaries from projecting power into the region. As Lieutenant | aerospace |

Then again, it could change course.
The secret spy satellite that SpaceX launched May 1 is currently on a curious trajectory, according to the calculations of an amateur spy satellite tracker. It appears it might pass near the International Space Station right around the time a SpaceX Dragon capsule will be preparing to dock with the ISS this weekend.
Amateur spy satellite tracker Marco Langbroek shared the above predictive model showing the satellite, which launched as NROL-76 and is now known as USA 276, could pass within as little as 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) of the ISS. In fact, based on its current path, the satellite could make several close approaches to the space station on Saturday and Sunday, according to a chart that Langbroek shared in a blog post Tuesday.
Langbroek is a member of an experienced community of amateur satellite spotters who have been tracking the spy satellite since it was first identified in orbit last week. Last year, he managed to capture a video of the space station’s lost thermal shield zipping through space after it got away from astronauts during a spacewalk.
USA 276 could alter its path at any moment and wind up never coming anywhere near the ISS. In fact, Langbroek makes it clear to readers of his post that he’s the first to admit it’s all “very speculative.” He also notes that “the calculated distances in the table have quite some uncertainty, perhaps by a factor of 2 or more.”
But if the National Reconnaissance Office, which contracted with SpaceX to launch USA 276, is looking to buzz the space station, what gives? Some speculate it could be about testing new technologies for inspecting other satellites or monitoring docking events in space, like the Dragon resupply mission set for Sunday.
That would be a little weird, though, to test a spy technology on a space station that is a symbol of international cooperation and transparency between not only NASA, but the space agencies from Russia, Japan, Europe and others.
“I still don’t know what to think of this all,” writes Langbroek. “Are these figments of my imagination or is there really something going on here? I am at a loss.”

Although they may move north and south very slightly, GEO orbits ensure that satellites can be ‘seen’ at all times by terrestrial user terminals.
GEO satellites are used for a range of services including telecommunications, TV signals, surveillance and weather monitoring. The first geostationary satellite, Syncom 3, was launched in August 1964 and was used to telecast the 1964 Tokyo Olympics across the Pacific to the United States. In April 1965, Intelsat 1 (Early Bird) was launched, becoming the first geostationary satellite for telecommunications across the Atlantic. VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) satellites on all frequency bands operate in geostationary orbits, and are commonly used for maritime mobile communications.
Owing to their greater altitude, geostationary satellites tend towards higher latency with less spatial resolution of data when compared with NGSO (non-geostationary orbit) satellites. However, in a maritime context, a delay of milliseconds has little impact upon the transmission of certain applications, eg, ship condition reports and live engine data. And for land stations, the main advantage of GEO satellites is that they are always in the same position relative to the earth, meaning that antennas require no reorientation.
A number of new GEO High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have been launched over the course of the last few years. The Satsig.net website reports that as of April 2018, there are 450 active GEO satellites in operation. | aerospace |

But it's going to be quite a different contest to the one we remember from the 1960s.
On 14 January 2004, US President George W. Bush, said, amongst other things: "we will undertake extended human missions to the Moon as early as 2015, with the goal of living and working there for increasingly extended periods of time." While on 21 June Mike Melvill became the first private pilot in space in Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne.
At first blush, there is little connection between these events. But the relationship between them bears consideration.
What will be the ultimate fate of America's "Apollo Mk II"?
All these are possible futures, and we don't yet know which one will become reality.
Now look at an article, "The world after Bush", by Michael Lind, Fellow at the New America Foundation, in the current issue of Prospect magazine. He begins by looking ahead to the next US presidential election, after which: "Whether Republican or Democrat, the next president will not only inherit a number of crises, but will be in a considerably weaker position to deal with them." Later he adds: "In the second decade of the 21st century, reducing the federal budget deficit at a time when the retirement of the baby boomers is driving up government costs is likely to be the priority in Washington."
All of which is a reminder that any government is liable to be distracted from perceived discretionary activities such as spaceflight by more apparently pressing problems such as war, terrorism, global economic competition, and health and pensions funding. (To which we should now add, after the publication of the Stern Review: climate panic.)
So, supposing that NASA succeeds in creating, say, an International Moon Station on the model of the ISS, or come to that an International Mars Station, there is no guarantee that it will not suddenly be cancelled and the astronauts called home, and every likelihood that serious problems will arise on Earth which prompt widespread questioning of the value of the station and calls along the lines of: "wouldn't it be better to spend the money on ...?" (fighting terrorism, funding pensions, saving the environment, ...).
At which point, enter Burt Rutan, Richard Branson and the delectable Anousheh Ansari.
Virgin Galactic's avowed aim is "to get from suborbital, to orbit, to the Moon, to Mars and beyond". Meanwhile Space Adventures is already planning trips for private space explorers to follow the Zond mission profile of the 1960s. But the step from a spin around the Moon to an actual landing on the Moon is a very large one.
Think how much easier that step would be if there were already some lunar infrastructure -- landing craft in production and a functioning surface base manned at least part of the time.
In other words, the most efficient way to get lunar passenger spaceflight -- and commercial use of lunar resources -- started is to take advantage of some kind of manned Moon Station in the same way that orbital passenger spaceflight has taken advantage of Mir and now the ISS. Without that government leg-up, private visits to the lunar surface could be delayed a decade or more.
Although the first private visit to the ISS caused considerable grumbling from NASA, the US agency is now actively promoting commercial access to the station in order to free up its own funds for lunar exploration.
The race I see developing is therefore not a race between competitors. It is rather a race for private passenger spaceflight to catch up with government before the latter loses its focus and abandons the Moon again.
When NASA establishes any sort of lunar surface base, no matter how flimsy, private enterprise must be ready to access it. In a nutshell, a future Richard Branson needs to get to the Moon before a future Gene Cernan leaves it again.
With any luck, about the time that private spacelines are ready to do that, NASA may be planning manned Mars exploration and looking for some way to extricate itself from its lunar commitments. Or it may have received orders from above to slash its spending on all forms of manned spaceflight. If either of these happens, it will boost commercial lunar access, and this is what we should hope for.
According to a recent Spaceflight report (October), the Russian space agency Roskosmos has decided not to go ahead with developing its proposed "reusable" spaceplane Kliper, as it does not have the funds to do so.
This is excellent news.
Kliper would have been even less reusable than the Space Shuttle. It would have been launched on a totally expendable rocket (first a Soyuz derivative called Onega was proposed, then the proven Ukrainian-built launcher Zenit). Half of the spacecraft itself would have been destroyed on every reentry. It was designed to be about as "reusable" as a 747 which crosses the Atlantic and is dumped in the sea, only the crew cockpit surviving to land in New York.
It was a blatant attempt to preserve high-cost access to orbit and delay the advent of a truly economic and reusable system. ESA was wise to avoid getting entangled with it.
British spaceplane engineers have been offering far better designs for over twenty years. It's about time that someone in the space agencies sat up and took notice.
The November issue of the British political and social monthly magazine Prospect carries an article by academic Eric Kaufmann claiming that secularism in Europe is in decline. Europe, in his view, is on track to develop a more American model of modernity, i.e. with increasingly widespread moderate religious belief.
To those of us who identify progress with a critical attitude to the traditional beliefs of pre-industrial societies, and with an increasing consciousness of our cosmic environment and of the unity of mankind, Kaufmann's thesis is worrying.
The Editor, David Goodhart, summed it up in his foreword to the same issue: "Secular humanism has conspicuously failed to create an alternative system of belief to organised religion, and in the process seems to have failed to give people sufficient reasons for having babies."
Obviously, this is absolutely untrue. The Russian visionary Tsiolkovsky put it in a nutshell: "Zemlja -- kolybel' Chelovechestva, no nelzja vechno zhit' v kolybeli" ("The Earth is the cradle of Mankind, but one cannot live in the cradle forever" -- thank you, Konstantin Milyayev, for the original Russian of this famous quote). To which we might add, on the subject of having babies, that we have a whole planetary system to fill with our descendants.
Over the next decade or two, with growing numbers of people visiting low Earth orbit and the Moon, the worldview expressed by Tsiolkovsky will receive ever greater prominence.
Our task is to convince the world that this astronautical vision of the universe has greater relevance, emotional meaning, intellectual coherence, environmental sustainability and social applicability than the competing visions hatched during the infancy of mankind. Surely this should not be too difficult?
The magazine can be contacted at: "Prospect Magazine" (letters--at--prospect-magazine.co.uk).
On 26 October, Dr David Williams, the recently appointed Director-General of the British National Space Centre, spoke to a public meeting at the Royal Aeronautical Society. Thanks are due to Pat Norris and his colleagues in the RAeS Space Group for organising this meeting.
In Dr Williams's view, Britain in space has three objectives: science (in which, he told us, the UK is rated second only to America); the public good, in other words sustainable improvements in the quality of life; and wealth creation.
Concerning science, he said little about Britain's most popular space science project ever. Beagle 2 did not register on his radar screen.
An Earth scientist by training, and one concerned about possible climate change on this planet, he was naturally more interested in the upcoming European Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme, and anxious to mould it to British priorities (a practical Earth observation service, rather than the technology development emphasis preferred by some other European countries).
On wealth creation, he quoted Chancellor Gordon Brown: "High-value-added, high-technology, highly skilled science-driven products and services are the key to wealth creation in the future."
Under sharply focused questioning from Alan Bond, Dr Williams proved himself unwilling to recognise that economical access to space would create future wealth: "Nobody's made an adequate case that existing launchers are inadequate." Alan Bond and many others have of course been making that case for over 20 years. When Dr Williams asked for an economic model of low-cost spaceflight, Alan Bond reminded the meeting that that model had been provided long ago.
But David Ashford got his foot in the door, when Dr Williams responded to his question with a hint that the BNSC might be able to offer technology support to a private space tourism venture, provided that any proposed arrangement worked within existing DTI support mechanisms.
The discussion about the new British space strategy within the BNSC has been slightly deferred, and is now to start this month and continue until March 2007. A name for the newly merged PPARC and CCLRC will be announced in 07. An office of climate change is also about to be set up, and it should administer Britain's share of GMES.
Dr Williams mentioned that a debate has also begun in the European Space Agency about its own future. For the first time in 30 years ESA is looking at its structure, and is now asking whether it should become an agency of the EU.
In reply to a question from Nick Spall, calling for a change in government policy so that Britain could rejoin ESA's astronaut corps, Dr Williams made the point that it is not the job of the research councils to educate the country, so if the argument for a British astronaut is based on educational inspiration to counter the sorry state of the science graduation figures, then the money for it should come from the educational budget (as your editor suggested in AE 11(1)). Whether the Department of Education (budget for 2006-07: £73 billion) has enough spare cash for an astronaut or two is another question. Which brings us back to something said by Alan Bond earlier: "If the transportation is adequate then the manned issue goes away."
Defending himself from Jerry Stone's list of which European countries had astronauts, "even Belgium", Dr Williams made an important general point: spending on space is seen in government circles as discretionary, not mandatory. Clearly, although nobody said so explicitly, there were many people at the meeting who regarded space as being a lot more important than that.

https://humansbefree.com/2014/07/was-mh-17-in-fact-the-lost-flight-mh-370-analysis.html | 2023-06-01T18:37:08 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-23/segments/1685224648000.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20230601175345-20230601205345-00445.warc.gz | 0.96141 | 3,064 | CC-MAIN-2023-23 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-23__0__51012756 | en | Clarifications, after new information emerged
Alternative media websites and myself have suggested that the plane wreckage presented to us as MH-17, actually belongs to the ‘lost’ flight MH-370. In this article I will bring new evidence to support this theory.
Clarification and updates:
1. A missing window on the wreckage, which appeared in some pictures over the internet.
– Malaysia Airlines renovated their jets a couple of years ago, modifying the interior and blocking the window in question. The presented pictures of MH17 with a window next to the door and below the flag is, apparently, an older image of the jet.
Unfortunately for the secret agencies involved in this false flag, the internet buzz created around this information made them panic and the official REUTERS images showing that piece of the wreckage have been Photoshopped.
Miraculously, a window appeared in at least two of their pictures, where previously there was none: example one / example two.
The pictures belong to Reuters, there’s no question about it (one of them is hosted on Reuters’ website, while the second one is hosted on one of the most respected media websites in Russia and in the world — the 26th most read website in Russia and 505th most read in the world).
Expect broken links and missing pictures soon, but remember what you saw!
Why would they counterfeit evidence if they have nothing to hide? Because they are guilty of this false flag, and by trying to cover their presumed mistake, they have in fact proven their guilt.
This is a huge smoking gun!
2. The flag does not properly align to the window, as compared to recent pictures of the original MH17 (no new information here).
3. Rebel leader describes the MH17 victims: rotten corpses, drained of blood (no new information here).
4. ALL the videos were created before MH17 was allegedly shot down (no new information here).
5. Flight MH17 was cancelled, according to flight radar screen (no new information here).
6. Invalid and pristine passports at the crash site.
– Some readers suggested that the invalid passports could be required as they could contain unexpired visas. This makes sense, but unfortunately none of the ones presented had any visas or stamps.
– It is still the matter of their condition, which is pristine. They all look brand new, even the clipped/perforated ones (and you will see why).
7. U.S. State Department Deputy admits: MH17 ‘evidence’ is based on YT clips & social media posts
– In a new press conference with the U.S. State Department Deputy Spokesperson, Marie Harf, AP reporter Matt Lee points out the lack of evidence for her claims:
“Marie, I think that it would be best for all concerned here, if when you make an allegation like that you’re able to back it up with more than just ‘Because I say so’.”
Thank you, Mr. Lee, that’s common sense and sanity speaking. There’s too much at stake to simply take your word for it! Period.
8. Award-winning reporter blows whistle: U.S. satellite images show Ukrainian troops shooting down the plane that was presented to us as MH17 (no new information here).
9. Additionally, before proceeding to the key point, there are multiple other questions that I haven’t properly analyzed, because I was interested in the key pieces of information exposing the false flag. You can read more here.
“This audio recording is not an integral file and is made up of several fragments,” said Nikolai Popov, a reputable expert in sound and voice analysis.
Original article below:
When it was first announced that flight MH-370 disappeared without a trace, there had been voices suggesting that the same plane will be later used in a false flag operation.
Personally, I tried to ignore the speculations thinking that no secret agency could ever conduct such an insanely-obvious operation, expecting that the rest of the world is stupid enough to buy it.
Boy, was I was wrong!
It’s not only that the official MH17 story is filled with gaps, but there are also bizarre accounts and ‘coincidences’ that are impossible to ignore:
1. The alleged MH17 was the same plane model as MH-370
The aircraft allegedly shot down over Shaktarsk is a Boeing 777-200, ID number M9-MRD.
The missing MH370 was the same model, 777-200, but with a different ID number M9-MRO.
Recent, “near conclusive” evidence reports that MH-370 (M9-MRO) was actually hijacked before it disappeared. This means that the hijackers could have safely landed the plane somewhere else.
The US military base Diego Garcia is conveniently located within flying distance of the spot where MH-370 disappeared from the radar.
One of the passengers on board MH-370, Phillip Wood, allegedly managed to send a photo from his iPhone, tracing back to the previously mentioned military base.
If the US secret services got possession of the MH-370 jet, then it was a child’s play for them to set it up for a false flag operation suiting their needs.
After the story of a passenger jet having been shot down by pro-Russian separatists broke loose, Russia lost a lot of credibility and support due to the US propaganda machine.
2. The crashed plane had a different configuration of windows than MH17
Unfortunately for those who staged the false flag event, the MH17 plane had an extra window (below) next to the second right-side door, which MH370 did not — and neither did the wreckage of the airplane!
#1 Update [07.25.14]: Jim Stone brings more photographic evidence supporting the connection between the wreckage and flight MH-370:
#2 Jim Stone Update [07.26.14]:
The flag in the wreckage is now getting cropped out of images posted of the shoot down, and someone either kicked the aluminum plate over the window out or a second window got Photoshopped in. Take a look at this photo:
And ask yourself, WHY HAS THIS BEEN DONE? Obviously, to muddy the waters, that is a super professional Photoshop hack, we all know what the real photo is supposed to look like and this was obviously done in response to people discussing the flag, and having the window arrangement match flight 370 exactly.
They HAD TO release a photo showing a window where there was none in the original crash scene, to muddy the waters and just “PROVE” this is MH17. Notice the flag is cropped out, because it is the smoking gun that proves this is flight 370.
#3 Update [07.26.14]: There is a lot of official Photoshopping going on. The following is a prime example:
The first picture is the original, taken at the crash site, while the second one has been obviously Photoshopped, adding a black window under the flag.
According to independent journalist Jim Stone,
“It is important to note that MH370 [bellow] was new, and therefore never repainted. This is the way the flag ALWAYS looked on Flight 370, and it forever pegs the shoot down plane as flight 370.”
“Next is flight MH17. Notice the flag position, and ALSO, that MH17 has an extra window on this side of the aircraft, TOTALLY BUSTING THE OFFICIAL STORY.”
So, what does it all mean?
The plane wreckage shown in the propaganda pictures doesn’t have the window configuration of MH17, whilst it matches the one of MH370.
The conclusion is obvious: the wreckage most probably belongs to the ‘lost’ flight MH370.
3. Rebel leader describes the MH17 victims: rotten corpses, drained of blood
“A top pro-Russia rebel commander in eastern Ukraine has given a bizarre version of events surrounding the Malaysian jetliner crash — suggesting many of the victims may have died days before the plane took off. (…) [People at the crash site]: ‘A significant number of the bodies weren’t fresh,’ adding that he was told they were drained of blood and reeked of decomposition.”
According to independent journalist Jim Stone:
“It is being said that a Dutch doctor who was at the scene within a day has released testimony that the bodies on the plane were rotten and dead days before the crash, which would corroborate what the military commander said and that evidence is there that they were also tortured before the crash. However, the translation from Dutch is very poor and I am working on secondary confirmation.”
This means that the bodies found at the crash site in Ukraine are probably the passengers of MH370.
4. ALL the videos were created before MH17 was allegedly shot down
“A look at the time stamps for the nine versions of the video that allegedly shows a conversation between Ukrainian anti-fascists and the Russian military and uploaded to what is said to be the Ukrainian Security Service (SSU) youtube account, indicating that all the videos were created before MH17 wrecked in the afternoon 2014-07-1.”
Remarkable unit with timestamps confirmed by the date stamp for when the videos were uploaded to a local server contained herein.
5. Flight MH17 was cancelled, according to flight radar screen
Flight Radar-24 screen capture on the day following the crash (7/18) shows MH-17, (9M-MRD) as “canceled” on the date of the crash (7/17):
6. Invalid and pristine passports at the crash site
All the passports appearing in the propaganda video are in mint condition. They want us to believe that ALL passports have escaped undamaged after an airplane filled with fuel was shot down by a SAM missile — not to mention the 33,000 feet drop.
And that’s not all! Many of presented passports are clearly invalid: some have been ‘hole-punched’ in the upper left-hand corner, while others have been ‘clipped’ (triangular cut-out from right-hand center front cover) – making it impossible that any of these decommissioned passports could be used to travel internationally at the flight’s port of Departure in Amsterdam.
7. U.S. State Department Deputy admits: MH17 ‘evidence’ is based on YT clips & social media posts
In a testy exchange between AP reporter Matt Lee and U.S. State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf, Lee virtually corners Harf into admitting that the “evidence” presented by the U.S. to blame Russian-backed rebels for the shoot down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 [now exposed as MH370] amounts to nothing more than YouTube videos and social media posts.
8. Award-winning reporter blows whistle: U.S. satellite images show Ukrainian troops shooting down the plane that was presented to us as MH17
Award winning former Associated Press reporter Robert Parry has been told by an intelligence source that the United States is in possession of satellite imagery which shows that Ukrainian troops were responsible for the shoot down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 [now exposed as MH370].
“What I’ve been told by one source, who has provided accurate information on similar matters in the past, is that U.S. intelligence agencies do have detailed satellite images of the likely missile battery that launched the fateful missile, but the battery appears to have been under the control of Ukrainian government troops dressed in what look like Ukrainian uniforms.”
9. The declassified Operation Northwoods: Disturbingly similar to MH17!
#4 Update [07.27.14]: Forbidden in the government controlled media, is mention that a SECOND aircraft was nearly on top of Malaysian flight 17 when it was supposedly shot down by a Ukranian missile in separatist hands. Who was in it? Why were they there? Why won’t anyone talk about it, or question the pilots?
A clue may be found in the real-life Operation Northwoods – a declassified top-secret plan devised by the US military, to instigate and “justify” a war with Cuba. Much of Northwoods involved staged ‘shootdowns’ of military and civilian aircraft, and faking crashes.
Operation Northwoods Exposed:
“An aircraft at [US military base] would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civilian registered aircraft.
At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases.
The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.
Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous…
From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude [in order to disappear from the radar] and go directly into an auxiliary [military base] where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status.
The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan.
When over [the target area] the drone will begin transmitting on the international distress frequency a ‘MAY DAY’ message stating he is under attack by [the chosen enemy]. The transmission will be interrupted by destruction of the aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal.
… a pre-briefed pilot would fly tail-end Charley at considerable interval between aircraft.
[After giving the distress call] the pilot would then fly at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base. The aircraft would be met by the proper people, quickly stored and given a new tail number.
The pilot and aircraft would then have disappeared.
At precisely the same time that the aircraft was presumably shot down, a submarine or small surface craft would disburse F-101 parts, parachute, etc. [i.e. plane parts].
Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched and parts of aircraft found.”
Once you know the plan, perhaps what is unfolding now will make more sense…

The company aims to utilize its customizable satellite rocket for launching small satellites weighing up to 500 kg, catering to the growing demand for smaller rockets in the industry.
Indian space tech startup Agnikul has secured $26.7 million in funding to accelerate its plans for commercial space launches. The company aims to meet the increasing demand for small satellite launch vehicles by offering tailor-made launches using its customizable Agnibann rocket. Agnikul seeks to complement India’s space agency, ISRO, by focusing on the less than 300 kg payloads segment. The startup plans to commence commercialization after its first test flight, expected by the end of 2023.
The Growing Demand for Small Satellite Launch Vehicles
The demand for small satellites has been rapidly increasing among companies, both big tech giants and startups, looking to improve existing technologies and expand internet connectivity to remote areas. Traditional launch vehicles have been launching small satellites as secondary payloads, but the surge in demand has prompted the need for specific solutions.
Several space companies, including Astra, Virgin Orbit, and Rocket Lab, have introduced small satellite launch vehicles to fill this demand. However, there is still a significant gap between supply and demand, leaving room for new players like Agnikul.
Agnibann: The Customizable Small Satellite Rocket
Agnikul’s small satellite rocket, called Agnibann, sets itself apart by using a single-piece engine that eliminates the need for assembly or conventional manufacturing. The company employs additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, to significantly reduce production time and offer tailor-made launches. This approach aligns with that of US-based Relativity Space.
The startup has demonstrated its capabilities through the successful test-firing of a 3D-printed engine called Agnilet in early 2021. Agnikul also holds a patent for the engine and has established a facility dedicated to 3D printing to support mass production.
Complementing ISRO and Targeting Light Payload Segment
Agnikul aims to complement the efforts of India’s space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), by focusing on launches in the less than 300 kg payloads segment. This segment falls below the capacity of ISRO’s Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV).
The startup envisions filling the gap that ISRO does not currently address directly and attracting customers from Europe, Japan, and other Indian satellite tech startups. Agnikul plans to commence commercialization following its first test flight, scheduled for before the end of 2023. | aerospace |

However, reaching even a near one with just a robotic probe would take months of travel time and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. A manned mission would push current space technology to its limits and may prove cost prohibitive.
However, another option occasionally mentioned is not to send probes and astronauts out to an asteroid, but to bring an asteroid into Earth or Lunar orbit for much easier access. The idea has been seen in various science fiction sources, such as the Gundam anime series, the Night’s Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton, and the novel Eon by Greg Bear. To the best of my knowledge, however, no one has ever done a serious scientific study on this possibility.
Comets instead of asteroids could also be diverted into the Earth-Moon system. However, because of issues with outgassing so close to the Sun (the dust and ionized particles given off by the "tail" would be captured by Earth’s gravity and could compromise radio communication and satellite viability), they are usually not considered to be practical for this scheme.
Any number of the methods mentioned in the related article Redirecting Asteroids (link below) can be used to alter the trajectory of an asteroid in order to allow it to eventually be inserted into Earth orbit. A suitable asteroid would first have to be found; one or more probes would have to be sent out to very carefully study the target to determine its exact dimensions, composition, and density. Once this is known, mission planners will have a much better idea of where to place the initial and subsequent propulsive impulses that will move the body without fracturing it.
Candidate asteroids would ideally be small, at most only a few hundred meters across, probably considerably less. They would also need to be located relatively close by. Earth has a number of ‘quasi-satellite’ asteroids that may be suitable, small rocky bodies that have orbits around the sun that closely mimic Earth’s but are not in Earth’s orbital plane. Earth’s gravitational influence occasionally tugs one of these enough so that they enter into a semi-stable orbit about the planet for several decades or centuries at a time. Other possibilities may be asteroids that sweep in close to Earth’s position, such as asteroid 99942 Apophis will do in 2029, that can be diverted into position with just the right nudge in its solar orbit.
Where exactly to place the diverted asteroid in the Earth-Moon system is debatable. Low Earth orbit would likely be too much a risk for even a small space rock, and the political fall-out of having a potential strategic weapon orbiting closely over everyone’s heads would be considerable. Also, maintaining so low an orbit would need constant station-keeping, something that could prove problematic and expensive for a million or more tons of mass.
Longer-period orbits, such as Geosynchronous Orbit, are a more attractive option. The diverted asteroid would be far enough away to ease the worse of peoples’ fears, but would still be close enough to allow fairly easy access from Earth. However, it may still be too close for comfort for many people concerned about a mishap or a hostile action sending the asteroid hurtling Earthward. Also, station keeping would still be a necessity (though less frequently needed than in LEO), and constantly fine-tuning the position of an enormous rock could still prove a daunting matter for the long term.
A more equitable solution may be putting the asteroid at one of the Earth-Moon Lagrange Points. L1 may be a desirable location, as any asteroid there could serve as a staging base and resource for future lunar exploration. Unfortunately, L1 is only metastable, and orbital adjustments would have to be made on the order of at least once every two weeks to keep the rock in place. Again, with a mass of a million tons or more, this may prove prohibitively expensive.
Lagrange points L4 and L5 would appear to be perhaps the best location in the Earth-Moon system for a redirected asteroid. Both points offer true stability, and little station keeping would be necessary once it was in place. Also, at a quarter million miles distant, the asteroid could seem far enough away that most peoples’ fear of an accidental impact with Earth would greatly diminish. The down side is that the asteroid would still be far enough away to require at least several days’ journey, and boosting needed equipment, habitats, and such up to it will be more difficult and expensive than with lower orbits.
A final possibility is to park the asteroid in lunar orbit. This way, if its orbit for some reason did decay, it would spiral in and impact the Moon instead of Earth. Again, this could go a long way toward easing anxieties back on the homeworld of having a potential weapon of mass destruction hanging over their heads in the nighttime sky.
No matter where the asteroid is redirected to, it could serve a number of useful purposes. Most obvious and immediate would be scientific. So close, even amateur astronomers could catalog and investigate almost every facet of the object, allowing us to learn a great deal more about the nature and composition of asteroids in general. Manned missions to it would be inevitable as well, and an asteroid could easily become the second celestial object that humankind ever sets foot on.
A number of the grander visions for orbital structures, such as solar power satellites and O’Neill colonies, would require huge amounts of material resources to construct, resources that would be very cost prohibitive to launch directly from Earth or even from the Moon. Having a large source of raw materials already in orbit and in microgravity could greatly alleviate such costs. However, only asteroids with heavy metallic content, such as the nickel-iron variety, would probably be worth the cost of exploiting this way.
The asteroid could of course also have a manned base built on it, or more likely, in it. Many meters of natural rock would serve very well as a shield against solar and cosmic radiation, and could enable long-term stays beyond Earth’s protective magnetic field without fear of potentially health-damaging exposure. Farther into the future, larger asteroids may be fully hollowed out, their interiors terraformed, and spun for gravity, creating Hollowed Asteroid O’Neill colonies. In fact, because of this, asteroids could offer a better and more viable option for creating deep-space outposts and colonies than building such up from scratch.
If its to be used mainly for habitation, a carbonaceous ("stony") asteroid may be preferable to a nickel-iron body, as the former should prove easier to drill into and excavate.
Asteroids diverted into the Earth-Moon system could serve other purposes. A small asteroid may be used as a counter-weight or a geosynchronous station for a Space Elevator system. A body with a significant amount of water or methane ice could be used to provide a moon base with much needed volatiles or water. On a more sinister note, an aggressive power could divert asteroids meant as impactor weapons to "holding orbits" in order to threaten rivals on Earth with a possible full-scale barrage.
No matter their intended purpose, diverted asteroids in orbit would easily be visible in the night sky to the average person. They could have significant psychological impact on the world population, who would have to get used to the presence of this new moon. | aerospace |

But, It really was a great experience and thought I would share a few pictures. We were so lucky to get to fly Emirates for our honeymoon, and we anticipated that it would be the best plane trip of our life – and we guessed right.
We flew on the Airbus 380 equipped with walk-in shower, full bar in the rear of the plane, and great cocktails and drinks. The plane is totally obnoxiously decorated and blinged out – it’s really unbelievable. We were excited to fly Emirates because we thought we would be so comfortable and get to sleep so that we wouldn’t be too jet lagged for our honeymoon. BUT, we really didn’t sleep at all because we were just taking it all in. Shocker. I loved the food and the champagne, as well as the little take away pajamas and sleep kit. The flight attendants outfits and offering of Arabic coffee and stuffed dates was also a nice touch. I was not a fan of the coffee, but loved the dates. It was an overall amazing experience! For a travel tip – we bought Business Class and upgraded to First Class with American Express points. The point conversion for upgrade was way more valuable than a dollar amount – I was really surprised why anyone would ever buy First Class outright because it is so much cheaper to upgrade with points. | aerospace |

Amazon.com Inc.’s Kuiper Systems LLC asked U.S. regulators for permission to launch another 4,538 satellites that would bolster its constellation as it competes with Elon Musk’s SpaceX for broadband-from-space customers.
The additions would bring Kuiper’s constellation to 7,774 satellites, the company said in a filing Thursday with the Federal Communications Commission.
The companies are joining a rush to offer internet service from orbits near the Earth, spurred in a part by decreasing launch costs. Low orbits offer minimal lag time for data to bounce between a user on the ground and the spacecraft.
Kuiper’s request was among nine applications, submitted under an FCC deadline, that requested authorization for a total of more than 35,000 spacecraft. That’s more than seven times the number aloft today. Those figures don’t include nearly 30,000 additional satellites proposed by segment leader SpaceX, which already has launched more than 1,700 of its Starlink spacecraft.
Companies filing for FCC approval Thursday included Boeing Co., which proposed another 5,789 communications satellites after winning permission on Nov. 3 for 147 satellites. The additional spacecraft will boost capacity to serve businesses and governments, Boeing said in its application.
Astra Space Inc. asked permission for 13,620 satellites for what it described as “communications services, environmental and natural resource applications, and national security missions.”
Boeing said in an email the new satellites could help mitigate congestion in some communications frequencies. Astra didn’t immediately return emails seeking comment, and an Amazon spokesman didn’t supply a comment when asked.
Kuiper and Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp. each have applications before the FCC for satellite fleets in low-earth orbit. The companies have been sparring in recent months, with Amazon contending that SpaceX hasn’t met regulatory requirements. SpaceX dismissed the criticism as irrelevant.
SpaceX has emerged as a space leader, having launched at least 1,700 of its Starlink broadband satellites with plans for thousands more. Amazon.com earlier won FCC approval for 3,236 satellites, and says it will launch two prototypes late next year. London-based OneWeb is building a fleet of 648 satellites. | aerospace |

A Propeller jet or otherwise called a turboprop is a propeller aircraft which is powered by a jet engine. They generate low speed but at the same time they are affordable so they are popular in private jet charters. In fact, turboprops are available in all sizes. Specifically, there are the Small Propeller, the Medium Propeller and the Large Propeller categories. Their flight time varies according to their power and size, while their speed as mentioned is lower than the jet only equivalents aircrafts.
The Very Light Jet has been recently classified in business aircrafts. Moreover, they have a maximum takeoff weight lighter than 5700 kg (2,500 pounds). To conclude these jets, have lower operation costs and they are most suitable for air taxi services. Speed: 600 – 700 km/h Range: Up to 2100 km Flight time: Up to 3 hours Capacity: 4 – 6 people
Light jets are the most common in business jet industry since 1960. Their advantages are their easy access to small airports and their speed. In fact, they are intended to be used for flights up to three or four hours with up to ten passengers. Unfortunately, they don’t offer stand-up capacity in the aircraft cabin. Speed: 700 – 800 km/h Range: Up to 4000 km Flight time: Up to 5 hours Capacity: 6 – 10 people
Mid-Size Jets are suitable for longer range travel than the light jets. Specifically, they are used in transcontinental flights and they have large passenger capacity which is up to 12 people. In addition, their headroom and their luggage room are improved and usually they have a separate washroom. Speed: 800 – 900 km/h Range: Up to 4600 km Flight time: Up to 6 hours Capacity: 6 – 12 people | aerospace |

I've only got the Demo, but it's pretty fun. It was on sale yesterday or the day before, but it's still in early development. Takes some getting used to the controls and all the ins/outs. If you really struggle a guy made a couple of very nice tutorials.

Video 2 - Orbit, Space Navigation, Landing and Taking off from non-Kerbal bodies in space.
Apparently there is a lot more to the game, both the current "full" (still in development) and planned.
So far I've just done the sandbox thing, popped a few rockets into the ground, blew up a few things by making stages happen in the wrong order, etc. Also launched two small rockets into orbit. The first one is now stuck in orbit because I ran out of fuel ******** around making a circular orbit and didn't have enough to drop myself back to Kerbal.

Indonesian government officials said in an emotional news conference Nov. 5 that the Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX 8 jet had been experiencing problems with is airspeed indicator on the doomed flight and that the instrument had malfunctioned on the three flights preceding the Oct. 29 crash.
Those previous Lion Air flights landed safely but passengers on a flight from Bali to Jakarta, which landed just hours before the flight that crashed, said the plane was making strange noises and flying erratically. Some expressed fear for their lives.
During the Oct. 28 Lion Air flight from Bali to Jakarta, pilots reported trouble calculating airspeed, and flight data shows the plane flew with irregular speed and altitude during the first 11 minutes of the flight. One passenger on that flight told reporters that it felt like a roller coaster.
Additional data from the Lion Air plane’s flight recorder showed that the same problems plagued the two flights before the Bali to Jakarta flight on Oct. 28.
“Investigator Nurcahyo Utomo said investigators need to review maintenance records, including what problems were reported, what repairs were done including whether components were replaced, and how the repairs were tested before the 2-month-old plane was declared airworthy,” the Associated Press reported.
Mr. Utomo said investigators are trying to determine whether the problem stemmed from the instrument itself, a measuring device or sensor, or a computer glitch.
According to NPR, airspeed indicators have factored into other high-profile airplane crashes in the past, including an Aeroperu crash near Lima in 1996 that killed 70 people and a Turkish airplane that crashed earlier the same year killing 189. Both of those crashes occurred shortly after takeoff, and evidence showed the pilots were confused by the conflicting instrument readings. | aerospace |

The satellites are part of a new strategy to bring high-speed internet to some of the most remote regions of the globe.
Boeing will design and build the new satellites for SES, a private company that provides global satellite communications. Boeing’s design for the satellites incorporates state-of-the-art technology to make the satellites highly efficient through the use of up to 30,000 fully shapeable and steerable beams.
For comparison – some DirectTV satellites only have a few dozen beams. This represents a quantum leap in technological innovation.
With these satellites orbiting the planet, mobile internet networks can be built without the need for expensive physical infrastructure like fiber optic cables and towers. This will help bring Wi-Fi to developing countries.
The satellite constellation will be called O3b mPOWER and can be launched four at a time aboard a rocket. O3b stands for the “other 3 billion,” which is a reference to the large amount of people on the planet – largely in developing nations – who still do not have internet connectivity – but will soon! | aerospace |

If Richard Branson has his way, sometime in the next few years will mark the first commercial space voyage. That is the mission behind Virgin Galactic, which seeks to take vacations into the astral realm. The Virgin Galactic x Under Armour Spacesuit is designed to properly equip future astronauts for space travel.
Earlier this year, Under Amour and Virgin Galactic cemented their partnership to create a spacesuit that could deal with the rigours of travelling out of Earth’s atmosphere. The team achieved this by incorporating Under Amour’s HeatGear, ColdGear, Recovery Sleepwear, UA RUSH, and UA HOVR into this suit. The base layer is designed to mould to each astronaut to control moisture and manage body temperature. That foundation is what the rest of the spacesuit is built upon. Using new proprietary fabric like Tencel Luxe, SpinIt and Nomex, the Under Armour and Virgin Galactic creation brings the once unthinkable concept of commercial space travel one step closer to reality. | aerospace |

Iran broadcast footage of the explosion against the background of Vienna negotiations to repair Tehran's broken nuclear agreement with the world powers. A total of eight rounds were underway during this week, and will resume after the New Year holidays.
The United States has rebuked previous launches. Requests for comment from the Pentagon, U.S. Space Force, and State Department regarding Thursday's announcement by Iran were not immediately returned.
Ahmad Hosseini (a Defense Ministry spokesperson) identified the rocket as a Simorgh or "Phoenix" rocket that launched the three devices over 470 km (290 miles).
Hosseini said, "The performance was good for the space center and for the satellite carrier."
Hosseini, along with other officials, remained silent hours later on the status of the objects. This suggested that the rocket had not placed its payload in the correct orbit. Hosseini suggested a speed for satellite carrier, which state-associated journalists covering the event said wouldn't be sufficient to reach orbit.
In recent years, Iran's civil space program has experienced a number of setbacks including fatal fires as well as a launchpad rocket blast that attracted the attention of Donald Trump.
Recent announcements by the Iranian state media included a list listing planned satellite launches to support the Islamic Republic's civil space program. The Iranian paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has its own parallel program, which successfully launched a satellite into orbit last ye. Hosseini called Thursday's launch "initial" and indicated that more launches are in the pipeline.
Television broadcast footage of the white rocket, with its slogan "We can" and "Simorgh satellite carrier" launching into the morning sky at Iran's Imam Khomeini Spaceport. The launch was hailed by a state TV reporter from a desert site nearby.
Iran, which has long maintained its non-interest in nuclear weapons, insists that satellite launches and rocket testing do not contain a military component.
An announcement of a rocket launch in the midst diplomats trying to restore Tehran's nuclear accord is consistent with Tehran's hardline position under President Ebrahim Rashi, a conservative cleric who was recently elected.
As Tehran pushes forward with its nuclear advancements, new Iranian demands have exacerbated tensions in the region and exasperated Western countries. Diplomats repeatedly warned that it is too late to save the agreement, which was dissolved three years ago by Trump's unilateral withdrawal.
Ali Bagheri Kani, Iran's nuclear negotiator, spoke from Vienna to Iranian state TV. He said that he hoped diplomats would do "more serious work" to lift sanctions when talks resume next week. He called the last week's negotiations "positive."
Washington has however reacted negatively to Tehran's positive assessments. Ned Price, spokesperson for the State Department, told reporters this week that it was too early to know if Iran will return with a more constructive approach in this round.
Iran has removed all restrictions under the agreement and has increased uranium enrichment to below 4% purity to 60%. This is a technical step away from weapons-grade levels. Monitoring Tehran's progress is difficult for international inspectors.
The Associated Press saw satellite images that suggested a launch was imminent earlier in the month. These images show preparations at Iran's rural Semnan, which is 240 km (150 miles) southwest of Tehran.
Iran has launched several satellites into orbit over the past decade. In 2013, Iran also sent a monkey into space. The government seems to have shifted its focus towards space under Raisi. The first meeting of the Supreme Council of Space of Iran has been held in over 11 years. | aerospace |

SFS Intec Partners with TxV to Re-Engineer Aircraft Bracket Using High Performance Thermoplastic Composite

BRISTOL, R.I.– In the quality- and price-sensitive aircraft industry, weight savings translate into lower fuel costs and increased productivity. That’s a big reason why SFS Intec (stylized as SFS intec) is partnering with TxV Aero Composites in the re-design of an aircraft storage bin bracket. SFS (www.sfsintecusa.com), a provider of precision custom components and special fasteners, is qualifying TxV’s hybrid overmolded composite part for use in a commercial aircraft.
Originally made from aluminum, the new bracket will be made of Victrex AETM 250 composites, overmolded with VictrexTM PEEK (polyetheretherketone) polymer.
The weight, size, complex geometry, and high load-bearing specifications of the overhead storage bin bracket made the SFS part a suitable candidate for the hybrid overmolding technique at TxV. Another consideration was the 60-to-70 percent scrap produced through several milling steps required for the original aerospace-grade aluminum bracket.
“Our decision to work with TxV is a strategic one,” said Sascha Costabel, head of innovation at SFS Intec GmbH Aircraft Components, in a press release. “We are convinced that thermoplastic composite components will play an increasingly larger role in the manufacture of aircraft. It may well be that several different technologies will each have a role in the future of aircraft production. TxV’s hybrid overmolding process is a good option for components that must withstand high levels of mechanical stress, and geometries that require multiple processing steps where conventional machining is used.”
TxV believes it is positioned to meet the industry’s cost and weight challenges through the combination of its state-of-the-art automated manufacturing and the processing and performance advantages of PAEK thermoplastic composites. The company produces finished composite parts, complete hybrid overmolded components, and assemblies using continuous manufacturing processes with cycle times measured in minutes, rather than the hours required by thermoset alternatives. These innovative products are reported to deliver weight savings of up to 60 percent over conventional metallic solutions.
“This project represents an exciting commercial application of our overmolded hybrid part technology,” commented Jonathan Sourkes, senior account manager at TxV, in the release. “SFS intec recognizes the benefits of our approach to part manufacturing in terms of processing efficiencies and overall system cost savings. Scrap reduction, decreased weight, elimination of secondary processing, and lower part count are all benefits of moving from metal to a hybrid overmolded composite solution.”
Pioneering a Unique Hybrid Molding Process
Victrex AE 250 composites are based on the PAEK (polyaryletherketone) family of high- performance polymers and are specifically designed for lower temperature processing. This is said to enable a unique hybrid molding process that combines the strength of continuously-reinforced thermoplastic composites with the design flexibility and proven performance of Victrex PEEK overmolding polymers–in this case, Victrex PEEK 150CA30.
Commercial aircraft use thousands of brackets and system attachments from the cockpit to the tail of the plane. As a result, these components can account for significant cost and weight. The high-performance PAEK polymer-based components can be manufactured more efficiently than conventional thermoset alternatives and can deliver significant weight savings compared to aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium, according to TxV. They are also said to offer equivalent or better mechanical properties, such as strength, stiffness, and fatigue.
TxV Aero Composites (www.txvaero.com) is a U.S-based manufacturing facility that began in early 2017 as a joint venture between Victrex plc (www.victrex.com), a supplier of PAEK and PEEK-based high-performance polymer solutions, and Tri-Mack Plastics Manufacturing Corporation. Their objective was to accelerate the commercial adoption of polyketone-based composite applications throughout the aerospace industry by leveraging the manufacture of parts using new and innovative processes.

– Even our solar system is incredibly large and contains countless objects.
PLANETS AND THEIR MOONS
– Planets are only some of the objects in our solar system.
– Most of the planets (6 out of 8) have satellites.
– A satellite is an object (natural or artificial) that revolves around a planet. Artificial satellites are sent into orbit by humans and are mostly used for telecommunications. Natural satellites are also known as “moons.”
– Jupiter has the most known moons (63 as of 2006) while Mercury and Venus have none.
– Our moon is the only object humans have stepped upon other than Earth. Astronauts visited the moon 6 different times between the years 1969 and 1972. These are known as the “Apollo missions.” Rocks brought back from the moon are still being analyzed today.
– In between Mars and Jupiter there exists thousands of smaller objects known as “asteroids.” This area between Mars and Jupiter is known as the asteroid belt.
– Asteroids are small, rocky objects that revolve in an orbit around the Sun.
– The largest asteroid in the asteroid belt is named Ceres. Ceres is approximately 1000km in diameter and contains about 25% of all the material in the asteroid belt. Due to a decision made by astronomers during the summer of 2006, Ceres is now considered a “dwarf planet” along with Pluto and an object discovered past Pluto in 2003.
– Most asteroids have orbits that allow them to get close to certain planets. Astronomers continually monitor the orbits of asteroids and calculate how close they approach Earth.
METERORS AND METEORITES
– There is a lot of confusion between three terms that are very similar in definition: Meteor, Meteoroid, and Meteorite.
- Meteoroid – this is a small rocky object that enters the Earth’s atmosphere.
- Meteor – This is a meteoroid that burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. People also call these objects “shooting stars” even though they have nothing to do with stars.
- Meteorite – This is a meteor that doesn’t completely burn up in the atmosphere and actually lands on the Earth’s surface. If the meteorite is large enough, it can cause great damage to the planet.
– A few times during the year, the Earth travels through sections of space where there many meteoroids exist. During those times (approximately mid-August and mid-December) meteors are easy to see on a clear night.
– Comets also revolve around the Sun in fixed orbits.
– A comet is different than an asteroid or a meteoroid in that it is made up of mostly ice and dust and appear to have long “tails.”
– The front portion of a comet is called the “nucleus” and is usually only a few kilometers wide while a comet’s tail can be millions of kilometers long.
– As comets travel closer to the Sun, the ice begins to melt and evaporate (turn into a gas). It is these gases that form the long tail.
– Comets are usually named after their discoverers. Popular comets include Comet Hyakutake (last seen in 1996), Comet Hale–Bopp (last seen in 1997), and Halley’s Comet, which can be seen every 76 years. Halley’s Comet was last seen in 1986.
EXPLORING MINOR BODIES
– Smaller objects in the solar system, such as asteroids and comets, are known as “minor bodies.”
– Space probes are still being sent to these minor bodes to help humans understand more about the universe. | aerospace |

The airship with the longest career and the workhorse of the British rigid airships, the R33 had a reputation of being the luckiest airship in the British rigid fleet.
In 1920, following the change in responsibility at the Admiralty to the newly formed Air Council, the RAF airships were registered as “civilian aircraft” to carry out limited programmes in the commercial field. The first to be civilianised was the R33, which for this transition period was fitted out with sleeping accommodation within the hull and cooking facilities. The R33 carried the civil identification G-FAAG on the hull sides and the large international “G” for Great Britain was emblazoned on her tail fin.
The R33, the sister ship of the R34, was built (year) at Barlow near Selby by Armstrong Whitworth and was a copy of the Germain Zeppelin L33 (the numbering was coincidental) that had been brought down with very little damage to the airship at little Wigborough, Essex in 1916. The Germain crew had attempted to destroy the ship to prevent it from falling into British hands but so little hydrogen (words about hydrogen?) was left in her gasbags that only the dope covered fabric lit when they fired signal flairs into the hull. The L33 was virtually intact and her engines were undamaged. In one stroke the British had been handed a near perfect airship full of the latest technology.
The R33 was by far the most successful British airship and was used for varying tasks including mooring tasks at Pulham (what is mooring and why at Pulham) monitoring the traffic at the Epsom races ( The Deby?) (the first “eye in the sky traffic reporting” (really?) and for carrying a biplane to be used as flight protection. A mechanism was fitted to the R33 so the biplane could be attached and detached in the air should the airship come under attack. (messy words)
The R33 flew from Howden (words about Howden) while conducting experiments to test a new design for aircraft tanks and secondly to make observations of three aerial lighthouses. (what are aerial lighthouses) Taking off from Howden at 8pm on a Thursday evening, with Captain (captain as army or Captain as on a ship) G. M. Thomas DFC in command, the aircraft climbed to a height is 1500 ft (M required) and an old Sopworth camel aircraft had been attached to the R33 was dropped with its engine running without a pilot at the controls. It was a fact that, if an aircraft crashed, it would normally burst into flames caused by the metal fuel tanks splitting open, and? The Camel was fixed with a special fuel tank designed to make this impossible. When released the aircraft nosedived into the ground and although the fuel tank, made of rubber, was damaged there was no resulting fire. (why)
The lighthouses under observation were at Croydon (Waddon), Lympne, and Biggin Hill. (are these in the fight path from London to Paris?) The R33 arrived back at Howden at 8 am on Friday. Some of the local people saw her as she flew over at a hight os 2,500 ft M.
In 1926 the R33 was used for experiments with the carriage and release of two Gloucester Glebe fighter aircraft carried under the hull. SO what Later that year she was put in the shed at Pulham for long term storage and when metal fatigue was discovered in her framework in 1928 she was scrapped.
Was the airship experiment a failure or just the right thing at the wrong time? | aerospace |

The growth of social media and YouTube has led to a significant increase in drone ownership. Many of our friends have consumer drones with cameras attached to them. These drones are commonly used for taking photos and videos of special events and travel destinations.
The use of drones has also increased quite significantly in the commercial sector. The recent FAA regulations have made it easier for drones to be used by commercial entities for business purposes. Industries like real estate, logistics, and agriculture have started using drones for a range of functions. Even emergency services and disaster management agencies are beginning to use drones for their work. There is vast potential for drone usage in everyday life. Personal and commercial drone usage has greatly increased and there are more drones in the air then there have ever been.
Drones are not injury-proof
As with all things and products, there are benefits and risks. One of the risks of using drones is the possibility of drone injuries. The injury can occur by the drone itself falling on a human or by the fast rotating propellers of the drone coming into contact with the human body.
The propellers of the drone spin fast, causing air to be forced downward. This creates low pressure above the propellers and high pressure below it. The pressure differential provides the drone body with the lift it needs to go airborne. The bigger the drone body, the larger the propellers needed to lift the drone up.
Small drone propellers are short and relatively softer. Hence, they may cause small injuries, but not very serious ones. The propellers of larger drones are long and rigid. They can cause some serious damage.
Large drones weigh a lot more than small drones. Hence, a large drone falling onto a human head can cause serious cuts or even brain damage. Smaller drones can cause cuts or concussion as well.
Some instances when drones caused injuries
Increasing instances of injuries caused by drones are being reported as time passes by. Some examples of injuries caused by drones are:
The most famous drone crashing news was in 2015 when a drone landed in the lawn of the White House. Apparently, an operator under the influence of alcohol was operating the drone.
In late 2016, a drone meant to shoot a wedding video crashed onto two guests of the wedding. One of the guests suffered a concussion while the other guest had to take 20 stitches on her head due to a cut made by the falling drone.
In late 2015, a drone covering a Thanksgiving Day running event crashed onto a pack of runners and injured two of the participants.
A newspaper photographer from New York suffered cuts to her nose and chin while sitting inside a TGI Fridays restaurant. The restaurant was running a marketing campaign where a mistletoe would be hovered over diners using a drone prompting those diners to kiss. The promotion ended quite badly.
Even wildlife could be injured by drones. There was one instance in Cambridge, Massachusetts when a red-tailed hawk attacked a drone flying over a park. While the drone crashed and the video of the “fight” went viral, the hawk could easily have been injured by the rotors of the drone.
Types of injuries caused by drones
Drones may be amazing tools that make life easier for their users and bring joy to their lives. However, they have fast moving components which can cause serious damage, bodily and monetary. While most drone owners do not want to get hurt or hurt someone else, there are instances of people getting injured by drones. Discussed below are some of the types of injuries caused by drones. Do note that these injuries can be caused by small consumer drones weighing between one and three pounds. Large commercial drones with a much heavier body can easily cause death.
Injury to the head
A drone, when crashing, can drop on a person’s head. This can lead to cuts in the head which need stitches or a concussion. Heavier drones falling on a human head can even lead to death. Scientists at Virginia Tech have even measured the amount of damage that a drone can cause on the human brain.
Injury to the face
A drone that flies into someone’s face can lead to a black eye, a bloody nose, or cuts/bruises/bumps to the face. The drone operator obviously does not fly a drone into someone intentionally, but faults can happen. The drone can accidentally hit someone or fall on someone, causing injuries to the head and face.
To avoid head and face injuries, try flying your drone in open outdoor spaces. Flying the drone indoors greatly increases the risk of an injury from a drone crash. The indoor space is littered with obstacles, and if the drone hits even one of them, then it can come crashing onto someone’s head.
Also, make sure you do not fly over people. The drone safety guidelines discourage flight over crowds of people. If anything happens to the drone, then there are plenty of unsuspecting targets on the ground that can get hit and seriously injured.
Lastly, try not to perform too many stunts or tricks when flying your drone. Complex maneuvers increase the chances of the drone not functioning and falling to the ground. Master the basics before you attempt any flips. Even when you have mastered the drone flight controls, try to maintain a stable flight.
Injury to the fingers and arms
A drone’s propeller blades can cut through skin and sometimes even cause bone damage. Besides causing cuts and bleeding on the fingers and arms, motor-driven propellers can break bones and even lead to finger decapitation in extreme cases.
In order to avoid injuries to the fingers and arms, be careful not to take your fingers or arms too close to a drone whose blades are spinning. In fact, if the drone is armed and the rotors are spinning, do not touch or try to pick up the drone with your hands.
Also, try not to land the drone on your hand or palm as a stunt trick. A sudden gust of wind or bad weather can throw the drone off and make the propellers come in contact with your body. It is a best practice to always bring the drone down, disarm the propellers, and let the motors stop before touching the aircraft.
Additionally, it is not advisable to mount the propellers indoors. It is always a good idea to mount propellers at the very end of a starting-up routine. It is the very last step before you are about to fly. If you are flying your drone indoors some reason, then be very careful in setting up the drone.
Another advice for avoiding finger and arm injuries is to use propeller guards when possible. The guards may not be part of the drone package and you may have to purchase them separately. However, they are worth the money. They not only protect the drone from getting damaged by coming in contact with a surface, but they also protect the drone users. Propellers may not make your drone look cool, but they definitely lower the risk of injury.
If you are using a Parrot drone, then you must mount the protective hull that mounts onto the drone body. The hull is made of Styrofoam, so the weight is negligible and it does not affect your drone maneuverability.
Another option is to purchase a device like this one, which will stop the propellers in 0.06 seconds if it senses a finger too close to the drone. It only costs something like $20 but will save you hundreds of dollars in doctor and surgery fees.
With some precautions, one can reduce the risk of drone injuries. Every drone normally comes with a set of safety guidelines in its user manual. These guidelines are important and meant to be read. Do not treat the user manual as a user manual for a PS2 game console. Flying drones is a serious activity (regulated by the FAA) and hence you must familiarize yourself with the best practices and safety precautions before you make that first drone flight.
If you follow the advice in this article and the safety guidelines that your drone manufacturer has provided you with, then you should not experience any drone-related injuries. Fly safe! | aerospace |

You’ll probably know some of the facts, but there may be a surprise or two along the way. These were my three favorites…
The crew originally wanted to call their vessels Charlie Brown and Snoopy, but the bureaucrats in charge thought that would undermine the gravity of the mission. Snowcone andHaystack became the working names, before the more august Columbia and Eagle were decided upon as the final choices.
Armstrong carried on board a piece of wood from the 1903 airplane crafted by the Wright brothers, as well as a diamond-studded pin in honor of the deceased astronauts of the doomed 1967 Apollo 1 mission.
In covering the landing live, CBS anchor Walter Cronkite was not only overjoyed to deliver such good news in a troubled time, but was also famously at a loss for words, rubbing his hands gleefully and saying only, “Whew…boy.” In recognition of his continued enthusiastic coverage of America’s space program, NASA presented him with an Ambassador of Exploration Award in 2006; he was the only non-astronaut or non–NASA employee to receive one.
I hope that someday space flight becomes important again. I would love to live to see a manned expedition to Mars. | aerospace |
https://startupsavant.com/news/iot-aviation | 2021-10-27T04:39:55 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588053.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027022823-20211027052823-00220.warc.gz | 0.950489 | 559 | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-43__0__179162986 | en | The aviation industry has been quick to implement the latest advancements in an ever-evolving digital ecosystem. As innovative technologies come about, they are quickly adopted by airplanes and airports to enhance the customer experience, along with the other benefits of improved data collection.
One of the reasons that the aviation industry has been so keen to adopt IoT technology is because of the massive growth in passenger traffic in recent years. According to data compiled by Statista, the industry has seen positive percentage growth every year (except 2009) up until the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Subsequently, airport authorities and airline operators worldwide are aggressively adopting the latest technologies to optimize their business flow and cope with the unabated growth in passenger traffic,” explains the report.
Key players in the aviation IoT market include Honeywell International (US), Tata Communication (India), Cisco Systems (US), Huawei Technologies (China), and SITAONAIR (Switzerland).
Reasons for Growth
The reason this report is predicting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.4% is the same reason mentioned above for why the market has expanded in recent years: a push for modernization due to enhanced competition. The report predicts that the aviation industry will continue to see momentum toward a better passenger experience and airport infrastructure.
Furthermore, the aviation IoT market is expected to develop some game-changing technologies which will likely be adopted for widespread use. For example, per the report, the IoT is expected to “play a critical role in weather forecasting as well as monitoring various systems of the aircraft in real-time,” allowing airlines to make crucial decisions in real-time and plot alternative flight routes when needed. Another example is the development of an advanced Aircraft Health Monitoring System, which will allow aircraft operators to reduce maintenance costs by predicting problems.
Threat or Catalyst?
The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on the aviation industry and theoretically could harm the IoT portion of the market. However, as airline companies struggle to get back on their feet, the report predicts that the deployment of IoT devices will actually gain traction after the pandemic. According to the report, this part of the industry stands to gain as airport operators invest in hygiene measures and deploy contactless interaction technologies in a bid to increase customer confidence in flying. As a result, the pandemic should help — not hurt — this market.
The global aviation IoT market appears to be in an extraordinarily strong position for growth, which is important to note for investors and entrepreneurs alike. While the rest of the aviation industry has faced some challenges, the IoT market has proven itself vital.

Honorary Doctorate Awarded to Astronaut Hazza Al-Mansoori in Recognition of His Historic Achievement and Highlights its Role in Supporting the UAE’s Space Sector
Khalifa University of Science and Technology today awarded its first-ever honorary doctorate since its inception, to Hazza Al Mansoori, the first Arab astronaut to visit the International Space Station (ISS) and the first Emirati astronaut.
His Highness Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince’s Court and Chairman of Khalifa University Board of Trustees, said that the honorary doctorate to Hazza Al Mansouri is an expression of the pride of the UAE, represented by the country’s leadership, institutions, people and sectors, and more especially the higher education sector.
His Highness added that Hazza Al Mansoori’s journey to space was inspirational to the university students as it acts as a motivation to the UAE students to fulfill their ambitions, no matter what the difficulties are. As a leading university in the field of aerospace research, honoring UAE astronaut Hazza Al Mansoori by awarding the first honorary doctorate is part of the university’s mission to encourage the UAE youth to take up science for higher studies and professional careers, he pointed out.
Khalifa University is the first university in the UAE to graduate the first batch of aerospace engineers. It currently offers bachelors, Master’s and doctoral programs in aerospace engineering. Moreover, the university houses the Aerospace Research and Innovation Center (ARIC) and has established the first advanced space laboratory in the region, one of the most advanced in the world. The university’s Master’s students have built MySat-1, the first CubeSat to be developed in a university lab in the UAE. The CubeSat launched into space from the ISS, the first of four to be launched into space by end of 2020. Khalifa University also plans to establish an advanced space lab to help analyze the data that will be sent from Mars.
Khalifa University has strategic partnerships with the Emirates Space Agency, Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center and Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (YahSat) to support the UAE’s promising space sector, contributing to the UAE’s ambitious plans for astronautics and the launch of the Mars Probe next year.
UAE astronaut Hazza Al Mansoori returned a few days ago from a historic week-long space visit to the ISS, on board the Soyuz MS15 spacecraft, where he conducted a series of scientific tests to experiment with fluid dynamics in space in order to verify the behavior of liquids under microgravity. The space visit was a realization of a dream by the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Founding Father of the UAE, which was turned into a vision by the UAE’s leadership. It also opened the doors for the UAE to join the club of other countries that have space programs.

Swedish start-up Airinnova has been looking to change this, however, using resources provided by the PRACE SHAPE programme to fully automate parts of the optimisation process.
Founded in 2015 by a team of experts from KTH, Airinnova is a start-up company that provides and develops advanced computational technology solutions for cutting-edge aircraft design, computational aerodynamics, and multi-disciplinary optimisation. It is currently actively involved in European research projects, engineering training and software development for aerospace applications.
High-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis is a major tool for modern aircraft design and optimisation but requires special skills in mesh generation and executing the analysis code, constraining its use to only the highly skilled. As such, Airinnova has been pursuing ways of performing CFD analysis automatically. This is being done by developing an automated procedure to carry out Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes based CFD analyses based on watertight aircraft geometries defined by computer-aided design (CAD) files or the emerging CPACS standard.
Visualised turbulance wake, with top images showing data flow of the CFD automation prototype that Airinnova provides
Automated CFD analysis has the potential be applied to many fields within the aviation design industry, including aerodynamic shape optimisation and the compilation of aero-data for flight simulations. Mengmeng Zhang of Airinnova has now led two PRACE SHAPE projects focused on the first of these.
Shape optimisation is an important task in aircraft design. The ultimate goal of the process is to design lighter, more fuel efficient and quieter aeroplanes by reducing drag, especially at high speeds. In order to find solutions that are not only close to the baseline shape, but also to reveal many more candidate shapes, methods involving computationally expensive fluid dynamics analysis have to be applied.
High fidelity CFD simulations, such as RANS solvers with turbulence models, take up a huge amount of computing resources. The computational time (that is, how long it takes to run the simulations) is a limiting factor that determines whether it is possible to carry out simulations on the available computational resources in real time. In order to make it is possible to actually perform such computationally intensive work, the simulations must be parallelised, which reduces total run-time and makes the simulations feasible when run on highperformance computing resources.
In recent years, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Aerodynamic Design Optimisation Discussion Group (ADODG) has created a basic set of benchmark test cases for exercising aerodynamic optimisation methods on in order to highlight and compare the specific contributions of different approaches. Airinnova’s project used the Case IV wing of this Common Research Model (CRM) to test their automatic approach that goes from a design parametrisation all the way through to a CFD calculation.
The work from the first of the two SHAPE projects was done using the PRACE research infrastructure Tier-O resource MareNostrum at BSC, Spain, and the Tier-1 resource Beskow at KTH-PDC, Sweden. It has provided a significant step towards making it possible to perform all the core processes that require special skills – from creating the mesh to executing the high-fidelity CFD analysis code – automatically. It is possible that this will help a wider field of engineering researchers and developers to design aircraft in a much simpler and more efficient way. The benefits to Airinnova are also great; with this technology, it will be possible for well-trained Master’s students to carry out aerodynamic design using high-fidelity CFD.

Following on from the first PRACE SHAPE project, Zhang and her colleagues have continued collaborating with the PDC Centre for High Performance Computing at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH-PDC) to investigate the performance analysis of the open source CFD code SU2, and to further develop the automationprocess for the field of aerodynamic optimisation and design. SU2 is a computational analysis and design package that has been developed to solve multi-physics analysis and optimisation tasks using unstructured mesh topologies. Within this second PRACE SHAPE project, the CFD computations were sped up using HPC resources, and the SU2 code was tested on the previously-mentioned CRM as well as a regional jet-liner (A320-alike).
This second project has led to the development of an automation process to run high-fidelity CFD analysis starting from a given geometry format. This has demonstrated that the automation of CFD analysis for aircraft design is both viable and valuable. The ultimate technical goal of this ongoing research is to develop a flexible and smooth integration of the whole automation process into an MDO (multi-disciplinary optimisation) design environment. This could lead to a revolution in aircraft shape optimisation that will hopefully lead to future aircraft which use less fuel and make less noise.

And this made me smile.
While we all enjoy a good football game, we also have an uncanny ability to spend hours discussing space adventures, alien planets, and the undeniable acting chops of Edward James Olmos.
But, let’s be honest. Space is cool. The human race has long been fascinated with the stars. And space travel has only solidified our desire to venture beyond our own solar system. While many of us will never work for NASA, or be able to afford a flight on the Virgin Galactic, we can still enjoy the beauty of space through a mesmerizing new app called Spacebook.
Released last month for iPhone and iPad, Spacebook is a collection of more than 5,000 high-resolution astronomy images. For $2.99, you can drool over as many nebulas, moonrises and galaxies as your nerdy heart desires.
“The beauty of outer space is staggering, but it can also serve as a reminder that we can and should push the limits of human knowledge,” said creator Nicholas Hughes in an article in GOOD. “NASA’s budget is ridiculously small. I decided to build some kind of space app, maybe something that could both raise awareness and eventually donations.”
I’ve had the app less than a day, and I’m already hooked. The images are stunning, and the accompanying captions are fascinating. For instance, the Trifid Nebula is 300,000 years old, which makes it among the youngest emission nebulae (clouds of ionized gas that emit colorful light) known to man. And, it lies about 9,000 light years away!
There may not be Cylons involved, but so far Spacebook is shaping up to be a worthwhile download. | aerospace |

Two companies will be presenting the concept of luxury VIP cabins of aircrafts intended for short and medium flights. The idea was to conventional aircraft interiors replace with “dynamic, fluid architecture” where losing the traditional, floor, walls and ceiling, concept.
In addition, it is intended that the overall appearance of the aircraft cabin interior design reflects a Mercedes luxury models, especially Mercedes S-class. Two German partner companies said that they intend to offer their ideas to VIP clients who want a unique interior design for their private planes. | aerospace |

The Fly has been distilled from our much-praised Rio 2 sports glider. The Fly uses the same top-quality hardware and fittings as the Rio 2, but uses a new sail which has been designed to provide light, responsive handling.
This nimble handling makes the Fly perfect for new pilots venturing out onto club sites for the first time. With the glider responding instantly to your inputs, you will quickly develop the confidence to make effective use of lift on the hill, and to fly with other gliders
As well as making a great wing for any new pilot, the Fly is particularly well suited for a paraglider pilot who may be interested in learning to hangglide (possibly inspired by the performance of the latest rigid wings!)
Tuned for the UK
The Fly has been designed with a higher aspect ratio than many other single-surface wings, which gives it significantly lighter pitch control. This is a huge benefit when ground handling, especially in the UK where we tend to fly in stronger winds for reliable ridge-soaring
The lighter pitch also makes it easier to pull on speed for a safe landing approach.
Built with new pilots in mind
When choosing their glider, pilots new to the sport are often concerned that they will 'grow out of' their first glider too quickly and are sometimes tempted to buy a higher performance wing too soon.
The Fly has a much larger scope for pilot progression than many other gliders, with two very effective methods for improving the glider’s performance as the pilot gains confidence and experience.
The Fly can be fitted with a Variable Geometry ('VG') system as an optional but recommended extra. The VG, as fitted to all higher performance gliders, acts to tighten the sail during flight producing a flatter glide path and reduced sink rate at the expense of handling response. Having a VG allows you to tune the handling/performance balance of your glider to suit the conditions, expanding the glider's flight envelope and helping you make the most of your hardware. It also allows you to get comfortable with the VG's use for when you decide to upgrade.
The Fly's unique design means that, should the pilot want more performance, the glider can easily be upgraded to a full Rio 2. Instead of buying a whole new glider, a new sail and rigging can be fitted to your airframe (which is designed to last over a thousand flying hours with good care) to give it a new lease of life. This upgrade will save you a substantial amount of time and of course money over the cost of a new glider
The supine harness has for a long time been rather overlooked in our sport, as pilots adopted the prone style for reduced drag. However we think the supine harness is long due for a comeback, as it is much more comfortable, offers much better visibility all around, and the increased pendulum moment makes flying less tiring on your arms.
Our supine setup uses a custom control frame and speed bar that lets you clip in with any standard paragliding harness, with your hands falling naturally onto the speedbar just where you want it.
Easy to live with
Rigging and De-Rigging
The Fly will of course rig flat, which is vital for windy hill flying conditions such as those found in the British Isles. However the Fly is easier to rig and especially so when on the keel. Its new control frame fittings prevent the glider flopping from side to side
Those of you who travel by plane, with your hang glider, will know how important it is for the baggage handlers to have packages under 12 feet in length. Amazingly both sizes of the Fly can short pack under 12 feet. A standard Fly 17 short packs slightly longer than 12 feet unless a super short pack option is
Greater Range of Pilot Weights
The Fly is available in two sizes the 15m and 17m. The Fly 15 is suitable for the medium to light pilot. Medium pilots who want to use FLPA power might want to consider the larger Fly 17 though the 15m is certified for payloads up to 120kg
Avian Ltd. are committed to the BHPA airworthiness scheme and its pitch stability and physical strength tests. Avian are also committed to continuous safety improvement throughout the glider. It is for this reason that the Rio 2 now has both ‘luff lines and washout control. These are two, well tested, means of ensuring good pitch stability at all speeds and VG settings

The airline told its unions Monday night that layoffs will take effect in a little more than three weeks.
The airline announced Monday it would stop flying passengers south to its resort destinations and instead focus on getting Canadians home. So far, the airline has repatriated some 11,000 people and vows to continue until all customers are safely home. With no end to the crisis in sight, the company said it had no choice but to issue layoff notices.
“While we have communicated a temporary suspension of our southbound flights up until April 10th, at this time we cannot confirm when commercial southern flight operations will resume,” the company said in a statement. “That is why Sunwing was forced to communicate layoffs to our flight and cabin crew members yesterday evening.”
This includes flights in and out of YXX Abbotsford International Airport. | aerospace |

Now, NASA said that it was nearing to complete an orbiting space station which will be known as the Lunar Gateway to the world.
With all these announcements coming up, apart from that all, NASA now has announced that the agency is now developing the mission with Advance Space. The main aim of the mission by both the agency is to develop a small and advanced CubeSat for this mission.
The name that the CubeSat has got was from CAPSTONE and it is like a small satellite. The satellite will be moving in the same orbit path that the proposed Gateway will be taking. If all these missions will get success then at the end it will bring the moon close to the Earth by 1000 miles.
According to the CEO of Advance Space, Bradley Cheetham said that CAPSTONE is a small package with a lot of advanced features in it.
As of now, CAPSTONE may get launch in the coming December 2020 and after that, it will start to demonstrate about how to enter and operate there in the lunar orbit. It will too test all the navigation technologies that will be used in future mission. | aerospace |

China’s aviation regulator cleared the Boeing 737 Max late last week to return to flying with technical upgrades more than two years after the plane was grounded worldwide following two fatal crashes, a news outlet reported.
Photo Insert: Could this development mean clear skies for the embattled plane model?
Chinese pilots will need to complete new training before commercial flights can begin, China Aviation Daily said, citing the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Phone calls to the regulator weren’t answered, the Associated Press (AP) reported. The report displayed a copy of the CAAC’s airworthiness directive.
China is the last major market where the Boeing 737 Max was awaiting approval after the United States allowed flights to resume in December 2020 and European Union (EU) regulators gave permission in January. Brazil and Canada also have given approval. Boeing’s shares jumped 4.25% in pre-market trading Thursday.
Governments grounded the Boeing 737 Max after a total of 246 people were killed in the crashes of a Lion Air flight in Indonesia on Oct. 29, 2018, and an Ethiopian Airlines flight on March 10, 2019.
Investigators blamed a computer system that pushed the plane’s nose downward in flight and couldn’t be overridden by pilots. Boeing Co. was required to redesign the system and pilots will need to be trained on the new technology. | aerospace |

The Federal Aviation Administration submitted these orders in response to an emergency that occurred last week when a Chinese Airlines jet taxied to a stop in Okinawa last week and caught on fire. Fortunately, all of the passengers escaped safely before the plane was engulfed in flames.
According to media reports, Taiwanese investigators found that a bolt was responsible for the accident that caused the terrible fire last week. When the wing slats opened upon landing in order to stabilize the plane, a bolt probably sheared a hole in the fuel tank, causing the massive fire.
The FAA subsequently issued what is termed an “airworthiness directive” pertaining to all newer models of 737s in use since 1998. These planes are used in the United States and abroad by a variety of carriers. An inspection of the wing assembly during this downtime will permit inspector the opportunity to determine whether planes are fit for returning to the air.

beyond a flight's schedule departure before it is considered delayed.
Flight delays are frustrating, costly and a source of rage for the
passengers that are caught in them. Air carriers and airports have
introduced a number of technologies and methods to reduce flight delays,
and they have been met with some success.
Air travel is one of the most
important aspects of international commerce, and flight delays cost the
airline industry billions of dollars every year. Flight delays also cause
problems for travelers, as they can interfere with scheduled events. A
delay on the first leg of a trip can cost the flyer his reservations on
subsequent flights and prevent him from reaching his destination on time.
According to the Bureau of
Travel Statistics, many delays are caused by a problem with the air
carrier, such as "maintenance or crew problems, aircraft cleaning,
baggage loading, fueling, etc."
Modern planes are safe and can
withstand most weather conditions, but storms such as blizzards,
hurricanes and tornadoes will cancel flights. Severe thunderstorms can
delay flights, but in most cases planes are able to fly above the weather.
In addition, bad weather in one location may affect flights coming into
that area as well as leaving the area, so it can have a ripple effect
among many flights. The delays and cancellations because of weather are at
the discretion of the carrier.
Problems with security or
mandatory evacuations after an emergency clears terminals, can force
passengers to go through security again, causing flight delays.
Delays caused by faulty air
traffic control equipment or human misuse of equipment fall under this
heading. The U.S. National Aviation System accounted for delays involving
7.4 percent of all national flights in April 2009, according to the Bureau
of Transportation Statistics. | aerospace |

However, that doesn’t mean that the world has forgotten about space. We may not be sending men to the moon anymore, but due to the proliferation of technology that relies almost solely on new satellites, we have never needed to leave our atmosphere more than today.
In the past few years, the trend at the Pentagon has been to rely on commercial companies to launch and maintain around 80% of their military communication needs. The use of commercial systems has proven to be a cost effect alternative to historically bloated government-owned and operated satellite systems. A great example is the Navy’s MUOS communication system, which has gone way over its $6 billion budget, and its first satellite will only run at 3% of its full capacity. Despite these setbacks, the latest Pentagon budget shows that the government is willing to spend more money to guarantee that the U.S. doesn’t rely too heavily on the private sector and more importantly, private foreign satellite companies from Russia and China to handle its delicate national security information.
Around the world, even in places that have been notorious for their lack of technical capabilities, cell phones are hard to avoid. There are almost a billion cell phones in China alone, and some places like Russia have 100,000,000 more cell phones than people. These mind boggling numbers mean that the world is going to need more and more satellites.

What’s the distinction between brushed and brushless motors? Both brushed and brushless motors work by causing a component to rotate utilizing electromagnets. The place they differ is in their building and in the way in which they communicate electric current to the magnets. Conventional brushed motors are simpler in design and due to this fact cheaper.
Alternatively, they’re additionally much less highly effective, noisier, and require extra maintenance and replacement. what is it worth , although barely extra complicated in the way in which they’re built, provide higher effectivity, are quieter, and final longer. Photo drone québec ’s for these properties that the best drones for rookies employ brushless motors. Do I want a waterproof drone? Unfavorable weather is one in every of the commonest causes for crashed or misplaced drones.
Waterproof drones get rid of this threat as they’re constructed to withstand wind and rain. 1000, you’ll find drones that may be immersed in water and carry payloads of up to 2 kg. That makes them appropriate for tasks which are in any other case tough or harmful to carry out, like search and rescue missions at sea. As Entreprise drone québec may think about, such fashions don’t really belong in a list of the most effective drones for newcomers.
Do I need a camera on my drone? The answer is “it depends”. If you want to take pictures or make videos then completely purchase a drone with a constructed-in digicam, or at the least a gimbal to which a digital camera could be connected. And if you wish to get into first-person view (FPV), be sure you find a drone that supports that feature. You’ll find each in our listing of greatest drones for freshmen.

Having stated that, studying to pilot a drone certainly doesn’t require a camera. Flying a distant managed aircraft via the air is its own reward. Can I 3D print a drone? super fast reply is not yet attainable to fabricate electrical parts like motors, sensors and even electronics. However, 3D printing can be utilized to fabricate drone components like the body, touchdown gear, and propellers.
And Drone immobilier québec https://www.dronemediaqc.com are normally the elements that break easily and need regular changing. What is altitude hold? Altitude hold is a typical characteristic that makes it lots simpler to pilot a drone. When activated, a drone uses ultrasound sensors to maintain a specific peak. This makes it simpler to focus on fundamental flying maneuvers or, if you’re filming, to seize regular aerial footage. Most of the perfect drones for learners already embody this function, as its extremely handy for novices.
It’s also not very expensive, so that you needn’t lay our a fortune to take advantage of a particularly useful tool. How do I forestall my drone from getting misplaced? Lots of the perfect drones for novices come equipped with a constructed-in GPS system. Some even know how you can routinely return to the pilot, say if they enterprise too far or they’re operating on a low battery. If your quadcopter lacks these options, stick it with a drone tracker. 1. GPS trackers let you locate your drone anyplace in the world, provided there’s GSM reception, of course. 2. RF trackers broadcast radio waves to be picked up by special receivers. Naturally, their range is limited to only some miles.
Once more, in case you are out together with your local pilots, you will have the ability to get answers immediately. There are lots of answers to these questions so ensure to do some of your personal research, too!

Apart from German anti-aircraft fire, the
biggest threat to Allied planes was "friendly fire" from their own forces,

Really enjoyed the tour of NASA Mission Control Center. Our group visited this facility after finishing with a 12 mile bike ride around the NASA facility. Just missed a space walk that occured, but was great to see how things work. Very friendly staff and, excellent tour. I recommend it to anyone that can get a glimpse of this facility and experience everything it has done past, present, and future.
Awesome of course. Great view of the practice facility, which almost mirrors the main one next door. The hosts were very informative, which brought on a few questions but a lot of "ohhhhh" comments in the crowd.
Great place to visit..original mission control has been preserved and very cool to see. On the tour you get to see the international space station capsule as well along with a Titan rocket, in one of the huge hangers on the lot. It is impressive in person and very big
NASA Mission control center tour was a great learning experience on the space missions. The prototype and model modules will help us to understand the 'how the control system works'. The tram tour to Mission control center was a great experience where you can see the real time status of various satellites including international space station.
We went here as part of the tour, and got to sit behind the glass and watch future mission control personnel being trained and it was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions we had. It was also neat to see a few historic consoles on display. | aerospace |

When thinking about photo opportunities I often think about what the most challenging aspect of a shot may be. That was especially on my mind yesterday as I was trying out a new camera (the Fuji XT-2) in the challenging environment of the USMC airshow at Miramar in San Diego. The contributing factors were that this camera has a brand new (improved?) autofocusing system, I hadn’t had the chance to practice with it much, and I would be trying to capture very quickly moving aircraft. I especially thought about one of the most difficult shots that I knew I would encounter (based on being at this airshow before). The Navy’s aviation demonstration team, the Blue Angels, would be performing and one of their featured demonstrations is for their two solo aircraft to approach each other from opposite ends of the runway and pass VERY close together at midfield – with a closing speed of over 800 mph!. As you might guess, that situation stresses the camera, the autofocus system and the photographer – that was my quest. Long story short, I waited for the moment of that maneuver and prepared for the shot. As the aircraft approached the centre of the show, each flying at over 400mph, I tracked one aircraft and tried to guess the moment they would pass. I fired off a quick sequence of shots but I didn’t know whether I had caught both aircraft as I had to quickly prepare for the next pass of “the Blues”. I didn’t actually look at my photos until I got home and did a quick review of my photos. I was greatly relieved to find this shot (the one that I had imagined in my mind) in the collection. My small quest had been a success……! | aerospace |

Its entry consists of a UGV called MACE 1, which carries a small UAV on its back, and tows a trailer holding a small blimp. MACE 1 (which stands for MIRA Autonomous Control Engineering) is clearly the ringleader, a hybrid-electric four-wheeled robot that has autonomous navigation and threat-detection software. The flying saucer-like UAV that comes off of MACE 1's back has to be controlled by a human operator, while the blimp's job is simply to relay images from high above the battlefield.
The star of this team--which, like Stellar, includes both private and academic organizations--is MACE 1, with its ability to turn off its internal combustion engine for stealth missions and haul payloads as heavy as 660 pounds. And while Team Mira's blimp and remote-operated flying saucer could help locate threats, most of the sensor capabilities are mounted on the UGV. Though the three-part combo didn't win the trophy, the competition could serve as a launching pad for this versatile drone. | aerospace |

Yeager filed a lawsuit against Virgin America, claiming he never gave them permission to use his name in a press release which stated, "Not unlike Buzz Aldrin or Chuck Yeager, you have the opportunity to be a part of a monumental moment in air travel. The communication highway now has wings with in-flight WiFi at every seat on every Virgin America flight..."
In the suit, filed yesterday in San Francisco County Superior Court, Yeager claims even if he did allow his name to be used -- he would require "a substantial sum."
Gen. Yeager is suing for unspecified damages -- but the coolest part of the suit mentions an event in October in which the 86-year-old icon flew "an F-16 aircraft at the speed of Mach 1.6, breaking the sound barrier once again."
UPDATE: A rep for Virgin America tells TMZ, "We regret the incident and plan to try and resolve this issue with General Yeager's attorneys." | aerospace |

Trilion Quality System’s partner, Test Devices Inc., featured the ARAMIS technology in his latest blog post: Optical Strain Measurement Vs. Traditional Strain Gauging. Test Devices is a world leader in rotational testing systems and services, and they often use our Digital Image Correlation technology to measure strain on rotating parts in spin testing and can offer this testing capability to their customers. Trilion’s High-Speed Digital Image Correlation experts supports Test Devices in these test programs.
In traditional testing, strain gauges were typically used to measure localized strain on the surface of materials, but with rotating objects, strain gauges become difficult to install and connect to the data acquisition modules. Non-contact measurement techniques become extremely advantageous for spin testing measurements and provide a full field map of strain on the surface of the tested components. ARAMIS, from Trilion Quality Systems, is based on Digital Image Correlation technology. It is coupled with a proprietary method for capturing images with high velocity rotating samples.
Combined with advanced spin testing capabilities, Test Devices Inc. provides a unique testing resource for civil and military jet engine/propulsion system developers. The ARAMIS Digital Image Correlation technology for rotating component testing can accelerate the development of advanced materials and manufacturing capabilities across the Aerospace and Energy industries.

Burning avgas - what a hoot!
Long ago and far away, a friend of mine was building flying hours towards his commercial pilot certificate (pilot's license). One day he invited me to come along - I was hooked! Unfortunately, it was not possible at the time for me to pursue becoming a pilot. Instead I bought a series of boats and my family and I had many wonderful times on the water.
Years later my situation changed and I was able to get my pilot certificate. I started my ground school in January of 2006, my first flight was in February 2006.
It didn't take me long to realize that I wanted my own plane. It's nice to get to know a vehicle, learn all its idiosyncrasies. Once you become familiar with it you feel more comfortable, it is easier to tell when something just doesn't seem right. I purchased my Cessna 150 in February of 2007.
Once I purchased my aviation GPS I have been able to keep track of my flights. The map shows where I have flown since then. Unfortunately I have no record of flight paths before that time. I do, however, have pictures. So have a look at my flying pictures; I hope you enjoy them.
My first meeting with 5437Q - Isn't she a beauty?
I knew what I would name her the moment I met her.
I bought her and named her Li'l Red
Alas, all good things must come to an end. In August of 2018 I sold Li'l Red. We had a good run, over 11 years, and it was time to say goodbye.
Could this be the end of flying for Mike?
Meet Rufus T. Firefly
Rufus is an Ultralight Vehicle, not a certified aircraft, and as such is flown under 14 CFR Part 103 - Ultralight Vehicles. Though I have a pilot's license, it is not required to fly an ultralight. However, anyone considering flying an ultralight should get training before attempting to fly. | aerospace |

Apollo 11 Animationen
Start der Apollo 11.
In seinem Kommentar zum Apollo 17 Protokoll sagt Gene Cernan, daß, nach seiner Erfahrung, die Landung eines Jets auf einem Flugzeugträger bei Nacht schwieriger ist als die Landung des LM. Sicherlich, im LM erhielt er jede Hilfe von der Erde, die Sicht war gut, und es gab keine Winde oder Wellen, die das Ziel bewegen. Trotzdem, das LM war ein experimentelles Fluggerät, und das, welches Neil Armstrong und Buzz Aldrin gelandet hatte, war erst das vierte, das jemals gefolgen worden war. Und, natürlich, keine Flugzeugträgerlandung hatte jemals die historische Bedeutung der Apollo 11; und keine Trägerlandung wurde jemals vor einem derart umfangreichen Publikum ausgeführt. Buchstäblich Milliarden Menschen hörten zu, als es passierte.
Bis zu einer Höhe von 50.000 Fuß (etwa 15.000 Meter) unterschied sich Apollo 11 kaum von Apollo 10. Armstrong, Aldrin und der Pilot des Kommandomoduls Mike Collins hatten einen makellosen Start von der Erde, einen langen, ereignislosen Flug zum Mond und einen nominellen Maschinenstart, um sich selbst auf eine Umlaufbahn um den Mond zu bringen. Als sie zum ersten Mal das Meer der Ruhe überquerten bemerkte Armstrong, daß die Bilder und Karten, die Apollo 8 und 10 gebracht hatten, eine sehr gute Vorschau auf das gegeben hatten, worauf man hier sieht. Es sieht genauso aus wie auf den Bildern; aber, wie beim Unterschied zwischen dem Ansehen eines Fußballspiels im Stadion und dem im Fernsehen: es gibt keinen Ersatz dafür, tatsächlich hier zu sein. Während diesem ersten Umlauf war die geplante Landestelle selbst noch von der Dunkelheit vor Sonnenaufgang umhüllt, und es dauerte bis zum vierten Umlauf, bis Aldrin - während des Checks des LMs - davon berichtete, sie durch das Fenster des LMs sehen zu können.
In seinem exzellenten Buch To a Rocky Moon (Zu einem felsigen Mond) diskutiert der Geologe Don Wilhelm das Prozedere, nach dem die Landestellen der Apolloprogramme ausgesucht wurden. Nach Apollo 12 erhielten wissenschaftliche Überlegungen ein denkbares Gewicht, aber für die ersten Landungen wurden die Stellen vollkommen nach durchführbaren Gesichtspunkten ausgewählt. Während der Lunar Orbiter Missionen wurden die hochauflösenden Kameras auf die vielversprechenden Stellen entlang eines 10 Grad breiten Bandes um den Mondäquator gerichtet. Die Gebiete um den Äquator waren deshalb von Interesse, weil sie mit einem Minimum an Treibstoffverbrauch zu erreichen waren. Die Stellen befinden sich mindestens 45 Grad westlich des östlichen Horizonts des Mondes - der rechten Kante von der Nordhalbkugel der Erde aus gesehen - weil die Landefahrzeuge von Ost nach West flogen und Houston mehrere Minuten zum Datensammeln benötigte, bevor die Daten der Landungscomputer vor dem Absinken angepaßt werden konnten. Jack Schmitt bemerkte das Folgende, als er diese Einführung revidierte: Der angepeilte Punkt für Apollo 8 wurde als der östlichste ausgesucht, von dem die Flight Control Division (Flugkontrolle) dachte, sie könne ihn noch handhaben, die östlichste gesicherte (akzeptabel glatt) Stelle, von der man dachte, es würde die Zeit nach AOS (Acquisition of Signal, Wiederempfang des Sendesignals) ausreichen, um das Lunar Module zu erkennen, seinen Bewegungsvektor zu aktualisieren und eine erfolgreiche Landung hinzulegen. So wurde Apollo 8 auf dieses Ziel (bezeichnet als Apollo Landestelle 1) eingerichtet und, als die Zeit für Apollo 10 gekommen war, fand die Stelle wieder Verwendung, weil ein grobes Datenpaket bereits bekannt war (das heißt, Daten über Orbits und das Timing der Ereignisse während der Mission), die noch auf Grundlage der relativen Positionen von Erde und Mond zur geplanten Startzeit verfeinert werden konnten (die Startzeiten wurden so ausgesucht, daß im Zeitpunkt der Landung die Sonne dort zwischen 5 und 13 Grad über dem Horizont stehen würde, tief genug, um durch den Schattenwurf Aufschluß über die Gegend zu erhalten, und hoch genug, um das Überdecken und damit mögliche Übersehen wegen langgeworfenen Schatten zu vermeiden. Die Lichtverhältnisse am Cape und an den Abbruchlandestellen waren ebenfalls von Kalkül).
Als ich hörte, daß man beabsichtigte, Apollo 10 zur gleichen Landestelle zu schicken wie Apollo 8, ging ich zu Tom Stafford und sagte, Tom, Sie wissen, das ist wahrlich nicht der geeignetste Weg, um Apollo 11 vorzubereiten. Erstens kennen wir die Apollo-8-Stelle, zugegebenermaßen aus einer hohen Umlaufbahn (60 Meilen Höhe), und wir kamen mit gewisser Überzeugung davon ab, daß sie akzeptabel sei. Zweitens, lassen wir Apollo 10 zur nächsten gesicherten Landestelle westlich davon fliegen (die gesicherten Landestellen wurden etwa 12 Grad von einander entfernt ausgesucht - das ist ungefähr die Entfernung, die die Tageslinie in 24 Stunden wandert - für den Fall, daß es eine Startverzögerung gab und man deshalb nicht einen ganzen Monat warten wollte), und eingedenk der Tatsache, daß Apollo 10 einen zusätzlichen Tag im Orbit bleiben sollte, wird die Sonne, wenn wir soweit sind zu starten, an einer dritten Stelle aufgegangen sein. So werden wir nach Apollo 10 über drei Optionen für Apollo 11 verfügen. Dies war mein grundlegendes Argument. Und Tom mochte die Idee.
So arbeitete ich weitere Details aus und begann damit, die Idee die Kommadokette entlang nach oben weiter zu reichen. Eine der angesprochenen Personen war Jerry Hammack, der Chef der Wiederbeschaffung, der mit der Bergung auf der Erde befaßt war. Wir waren in unserer Diskussion etwas hängengeblieben, um seine Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen, den hätten wir das gleiche Ziel für Apollo 10 wie für Apollo 8 angepeilt, wäre es zu einer vormorgentlichen, sozusagen nächtlichen Wasserung gekommen. Und deshalb war er nervös. Wir hatten keine Ahnung, wie nervös er war, aber es erschien uns als keine sehr gute Idee, und durch die Auswahl der nächsten Landezone würde im Pazifik eine Wasserung nach Sonnenaufgang daraus folgen. Und als wir Chris Kraft ansprachen, ging die Diskussion hin und her, und Jerry sagte, als ich einen Moment einhielt: 'All das und eine Landung bei Tageslicht'. Das hatte Chris beeindruckt, und ich denke, deshalb schlug er sich auf unsere Seite.
Danach gingen wir, spät abends, eine Ebene höher zu George Low und Sam Phillips, die zur Zeit in der Stadt (Houston) waren, und boten ihnen eine ganze Präsentation. Als wir den Raum wieder verließen deutete George an, er hielte es für keine sehr gute Idee. Sam hatte gar nichts angedeutet, aber er sgate, wir wären gerade noch unterhalb der Grenze, ab der wir das Datenpaket ändern könnten. So waren wir ausgesprochen entmutigt, als Tom und ich gingen. Aber am nächsten Morgen rief mich Tom an und sagte, George habe seine Meinung geändert. Ich antwortete, ich denke, Sam Phillips hat seine Meinung geändert. Aber, aus welchem Grund auch immer, sie sagten, wir sollen weitermachen und die nächste Landestelle ins Visier nehmen. Und die lag dann im Meer der Ruhe. Als wir Apollo 11 in Angriff nahmen, gab es keine Fragen. Wir wußten, daß wir genügend Zeit zur Verfügung haben würden, nachdem der Horizont überschritten war, die Erfassung wäre abgeschlossen (auf Apollo 10), und wir hätten Nahansicht (zwischen 9 bis unter 60 Meilen). Und sogar ich konnte nicht dafür streiten, daß wir weiter westlich landen sollten.
Sechsundachtzig Stunden und fünfeinhalb Umläufe nach Start der Mission machte sich die Mannschaft der Apollo 11 auf die letzte Ruhephase vor der Landung bereit. Wie Jack Schmitt in seinem Kommentar zu Apollo 17 ausführt können sechs Stunden eingeschobenen Schlafs im Orbit so erholsam sein wie sechs Stunden ununterbrochenen Schlafs auf der Erde, zumal die Mannschaft der Apollo 11, während der Entfernung von der Erde, während jeder der Ruhephasen zwischen neun und zehn Stunden Schlaf hatte. Die letzte Ruhe vor der Landung war notwendigerweise kurz, aber alle drei genossen sechs Stunden tiefen Schlafs. Als der Weckruf - beantwortet von einem sehr verschlafenen Mike Collins - nach 93 Stunden Missionsverlauf ankam, waren sie ausgeruht für den historischen Tag, der vor ihnen lag.
In den nächsten acht Stunden machten sich Armstrong, Aldrin und Collins bereit für den Abstieg. Als sie zum vierzehnten Male hinter dem Mond verschwanden, waren sie umgezogen und bereit, und gerade noch wenige Minuten entfernt von der 30-sekündigen Zündung entfernt, die das LM auf die absteigende Flugbahn der Apollo 10 bis zu einer Höhe von 50.000 Fuß bringen sollte. Collins würde auf der kreisförmigen Bahn 60 nautische Meilen oberhalb des Mondes bleiben, und wegen dieser höheren Flugbahn hatte er zuerst wieder Funkkontakt zur Erde. Alles hatte funktioniert. Das LM würde gleich um die Ecke kommen und völlig pünktlich sein.
Es gab keine Sitze im LM. Armstrong und Aldrin standen, festgehalten von Gummibändern, die am Boden angebracht waren. Sechzehn Minuten lang sahen sie durch das Fenster und maßen die Zeit, die die Bodenmerkmale für ihr Vorbeiziehen benötigten (gesehen durch eine markierte Skala auf Armstrongs Fenster), um die Daten zu bestätigen, die Houston empfing. Mit Hilfe aus Houston überprüften sie auch den ordnungsgemäßen Zustand des LM.
Als die zwölfeinhalbminütige Landezündung erfolgte, hatten sie ihr Fahrzeug so gedreht, daß sie mit ihren Füßen und dem Antrieb voraus flogen. Sie flogen auch mit den Fenstern zum Mond, so daß sie eine Kontroll-Zeitnahme anhand der Bodenmerkmale machen konnten; aber dann, wie geplant, drehte Armstrong das Fahrzeug mit der Vorderseite nach oben. Nun mußten er und Aldrin mit dem Rücken zum Mond fliegen, so daß Armstrong, wenn sie der Landestelle näherkommen und sich das LM wieder richtig herum drehen, den Grund voraus sehen kann und einen guten, klaren Blick auf die Landestelle erhaschen kann. Während sie flogen überwachten sie die Funktion des LM und die Ausgaben des Steuerungscomputers. Alle Daten wiesen darauf hin, daß sie sich sehr nahe an der geplanten Flugbahn befanden.
Falls, wie Cernan meint, eine Landung auf dem Mond leichter ist als eine auf einem Flugzeugträger bei Nacht, war eines der vielen Abenteuer, daß das LM mit einem - für die damalige Zeit - hochentwickelten Onboard-Computer ausgestattet war, der einen Großteil der Routinearbeiten beim Fliegen des Raumfahrzeugs übernahm. Die ganze Zeit über mit Ausnahme der letzten Momente der Annäherung war die richtige Flugbahn zu halten eine Angelegenheit des ständigen Analysierens der Navigationsdaten aus den Trägheits- und Radarsystemen und dann feiner Abstimmungen des Schubs und der Richtung des Antriebs des LM. Es war eine arbeitsintensive Aufgabe und bei einem Computer in den besten Händen. Bis zu einem Ereignis namens Pitchover (wörtlich etwa Umkippen) - bei dem sich das Fahrzeug von einem Winkel von 60 zu einem von 20 Grad zur Vertikalen rollt - hatten die Rollen der Astronauten nicht mehr bedeutet als zu überwachen.
Mehrmals während des Sinkflugs hatten die omputer Alarm gegeben. Die Flugbahn sah gut aus, aber eine 1202-Warnung - wie eine spätere 1201 - waren der Mannschaft unbekannt, und so gab es einige angespannte Sekunden, bis Houston ein Wir sind auf GO mit diesem Alarm. Wie sich herausstelte waren Teile der Speicher der Computer mit fremden Daten aus dem Rendezvous-Radar überlastet, doch glücklicherweise wurden die Computer nicht nur so programmiert, daß sie die wichtigen Aufgaben weiter verfolgen konnten, außerdem benötigte die Person, die die Maschine am besten kannte, - der Ingenieur Steven Bales - nur wenige Sekunden, um das Problem zu erkennen und zu erklären, daß die Landung fortgesetzt werden kann. Bales stand später neben der Mannschaft bei einer Feier im Weißen Haus und wurde für seinen einzigartigen Beitrag zum Erfolg der Mission ausgezeichnet.
The on-board computer handled a variety of tasks during the descent and, in addition to the unanticipated flood of data from the radar, there were also annoying, computer-related losses in communications with Earth. The LM was equipped with a pair of broad-beam, "omni-directional" antennas, but a high rate of data transmission could be achieved only through use of a narrow-beam, steerable antenna. It was the computer's job to maintain proper spacecraft orientation so that the high-gain antenna could maintain a lock on Earth. The computer had been instructed to avoid certain spacecraft orientations which would force the antenna to look through the LM and, thereby, lose enough signal strength that the "lock" on Earth would be lost. However, the computer had been given an inaccurate "map" of the LM and loss of signal was a recurring problem throughout the descent. Because the precise landing spot was not critical on this first mission, all that Houston needed was enough information to be sure that the spacecraft was operating properly and, through the combined use of the omni antennas and voice relays through Collins in the Command Module, adequate communications was maintained.
The program alarms and the communications dropouts were annoying but in all other respects, the LM computer and the navigation system performed beautifully. Eight minutes and thirty seconds into the burn, the computer pitched the LM nearly upright and Armstrong got his first close-up view of the place to which the computer was taking them. He was about 5000 feet above and about 20,000 feet east of it. As planned, he had fuel enough for five more minutes of flight. Each of the astronauts had a small, double-paned, triangular window in front of him. On the inner surface of each pane in Armstrong's window, there was a long vertical scale marked in degrees and, at right angles to it, a similar but shorter horizontal scale. At pitchover, Armstrong positioned himself so that the vertical scales were aligned; and Aldrin read a computer output to him that indicated just where he should look on the scale to see find the computer's intended landing point. In principle, if he didn't like the spot, he could pulse the pistol-grip hand controller forward or back or to either side and, thereby tell the computer to move the target a small amount in the indicated direction. According to plan, Aldrin was to give Armstrong an "angle" every few seconds until, at an altitude of about five hundred feet, the window targeting lost its usefulness and Armstrong took over complete manual control for the final descent.
However, once Aldrin had given him an initial target angle, Armstrong realized that, although the site selection team had picked a smooth patch of ground, the state of the guidance art at the time of Apollo 11 wasn't nearly as refined as it would be for the later missions, and fate and the computer were taking the LM into a field of boulders on the northeast shoulder of a crater the size of a football field. Nowhere on the Moon are craters of that size more than a few kilometers apart and, for this first landing, the NASA flight engineers were not yet ready to fine-tune the approach trajectory to much better than about eight kilometers east or west of the target point and about two kilometers north or south. The Apollo 11 "landing ellipse" contains dozens of craters a hundred meters across or more, and the important point is that the LM had plenty of range so that Armstrong could avoid even the largest of them.
There was no doubt in Armstrong's mind about landing in the boulder field. It wasn't essential that he land the LM perfectly upright. A tilt of up to fifteen degrees would cause no particular problem with a launch. However, if he hit the engine bell or one of the landing struts on a large rock, there would be a real chance of sustaining structural damage. Two minutes after pitchover and about two minutes prior to the landing, Armstrong took action. He decided to follow an old maxim: "When in doubt, land long." To do that, he would have to overfly the crater and land well to the west of it; and there was clearly no point - nor really much time - to give the computer enough of an update via the hand controller. The Landing Point Designator (LPD) was designed for fine tuning and what Armstrong needed was a big change. So he switched to manual control, pitched the LM forward, and began to fly it like a helicopter. Within seconds, he had slowed his rate of descent from about twenty feet per second down to about three and flew the LM about 1100 feet west beyond the craters and the boulders
Even with the computers to help, landing a LM was a tricky operation, one that required countless hours of training in indoor simulators and in an ungainly "flying bedstead" called - more formally - the Lunar Landing Training Vehicle. According to Cernan, the LLTV was actually harder to fly than the LM. It was equipped with a big jet engine which provided enough thrust to counteract 5/6th of the pull of Earth's gravity and that big engine - firing more or less straight down - made the trainer more unstable than the LM. Indeed, during training, Armstrong had to eject from one of the LLTV's. His was the second of three trainers that went unstable and crashed and, as Cernan relates, the trainer he flew in preparation for Apollo 17 was the only survivor of an original fleet of four. The long hours of training paid off, of course.
While Armstrong flew the LM toward a good landing spot, his attention was totally focused on the job at hand. Aldrin did virtually all the talking; and he, too, was all business. He read the computer output to Armstrong, giving him their altitude, their rate of descent and their forward speed. Back in Houston, Flight Director Gene Kranz and other members of the support team in the Mission Control Room were watching telemetry from the LM. They did not know about the crater yet - Armstrong wouldn't discuss it until well after the landing - but it was obvious that the landing was taking longer than planned. Indeed, with each passing second there was mounting concern about how much fuel remained. Because of uncertainties in both the gauges in the tanks and the estimates that could be made from telemetry data on the engine firing, the amount of time remaining until the fuel ran out was uncertain by about 20 seconds. If they got too low, Kranz would have to order an abort.
Drama was the last thing that any one had wanted for the first landing. The event itself was exciting enough. Finally, Armstrong found a place that he liked and he began to kill his forward velocity and let the LM ease down toward the surface. As they came down through 75 feet, Duke radioed that they had sixty seconds of fuel left and, in the cabin, Aldrin had already seen a warning light that was telling him the same thing. But they were close now and it was just a matter of easing themselves down. Armstrong had killed almost all of their forward velocity and now, as they began to kick up dust with the engine exhaust, he asked Aldrin to confirm that they were still moving forward a little. He wanted to land on the surface he could see in front of them, rather than on ground he couldn't see behind them. Aldrin gave him the confirmation that he wanted and, eight seconds later, they saw the contact light. The ten-foot-long probes that dangled from the landing gear had touched the Moon. A second or two later they were down and had the engine shut off. Forty seconds had passed since the sixty-second warning, but they were down.
(Post-mission analysis indicated that they actually had about 45 seconds of fuel left, rather than 20. Nonetheless, it the smallest margin of all the Apollo landings. Note, also, that, in the interest of reducing uncertainty, the fuel gauging system was improved for Apollo 12.)
Despite the drama of the moment and the enormous feelings elation and relief that they both felt, Armstrong and Aldrin had little time for anything but getting the LM ready for an immediate departure. No one expected that they would have to launch right away but, just in case a problem did develop - say a leak of the high pressure helium that they would use to pressurize the propellant tanks in the Ascent Stage, they wanted to be ready. However, despite being very busy with things in the spacecraft for nearly two hours after they landed, from time to time they stole glances out the window and described the scene for the radio audience back on Earth.
In all directions, the land was West Texas flat. The circular horizon was broken here and there by the subtle rims of distant craters. In the middle distance, Armstrong and Aldrin could see boulders and ridges, some of the latter perhaps 20 or 30 feet high. Close at hand, a hodgepodge of craters pockmarked the surface; and there were small rocks and pebbles scattered everywhere. It was a flat, level site but, as with Australia's Nullarbor (Latin for "Treeless") Plain, small variations gave the surroundings a subtle beauty of its own. And, of course, because this was the very first landing on the Moon, everything was of enormous interest. However, before Armstrong and Aldrin could pay much attention to the view or think about going outside themselves, they had to be sure that they had a healthy spacecraft and that the navigation computer was properly loaded with the information needed to get them back to orbit for a rendezvous with Collins. Finally, two hours after the landing, they and the NASA engineers were satisfied that the LM was ready to come home and, therefore, that it was safe to stay for a while.
According to the flight plan, Armstrong and Aldrin were scheduled to take a five-hour rest break before getting ready to go outside. However, it came as no surprise when they suggested to Houston that, after a scheduled hour-long meal, they prepare for what was called, in the NASA jargon, an EVA - a period of Extravehicular Activity. Normally, the EVA preps were supposed to take about two hours but, because this was to be the shortest of the Apollo EVA's no one -except, perhaps, the waiting, worldwide TV audience - was bothered when the EVA preps actually took three and a half hours.
Finally, about six and a half hours after the landing, they had the hatch open and Armstrong crawled out onto the porch - feet first and on his hands and knees. Moments later he was on the top rung of the ladder and pulled a lanyard to release a work bench / stowage area that was attached to the side of the LM. The Modular Equipment Storage Assembly or MESA was pivoted at the bottom so that, when Armstrong pulled the lanyard, the MESA swung down into a horizontal position. The most important piece of gear on it was undoubtedly the black-and-white TV camera. It was mounted in such a way that, when the MESA swung down, the camera was pointed directly at the foot of the ladder. For the astronauts, the landing had been the big moment of the mission. But, for the waiting world, the big moment was still to come - the first footstep.
From the bottom rung of the ladder, Armstrong had to make a three-foot jump down to the footpad - a contingency against a less than gentle landing that might have compressed and shortened the landing strut. From the footpad, he had only a couple of inches to step down to the surface itself. He stood on the pad for a moment or two, testing the soil with the tip of his boot before he made the epochal "small step".
The soil was very fine grained and had a powdery appearance and, once he stepped down, his boot sank perhaps a couple of inches, making a sharply defined print. Because of the Moon's relatively weak gravity field (one-sixth as strong as Earth's), Armstrong's total weight - half astronaut, half suit and backpack - was only about sixty pounds. Movement wasn't particularly tiring but because of the dramatic upward-shift in his center of mass caused by the backpack, he had to lean forward to keep his balance and it took a few minutes before he could walk comfortably. Just in case he had to end the EVA suddenly, Armstrong used a long-handed tool called the Contingency Sampler to scoop up a bit of rock and soil into a Teflon bag. He then removed the bag from the Sampler, folded it, and stored it in a shin pocket.
Aldrin joined Armstrong out on the surface about fifteen minutes later and then, for the next hour and forty minutes, the two of them examined the LM, moved the TV camera out about 50 feet, deployed a pair of scientific instruments, and collected more samples. One important set of questions to be addressed, of course, concerned the crew's ability to get the work done. If all went well, following crews could stay longer on the Moon, venture farther from the LM, and undertake more ambitious sets of tasks. For the first half hour or so, neither Armstrong nor Aldrin did more than a shuffling walk as they went about their work and it was planned, after this initial period of familiarization, for Aldrin to try to take advantage of the 1/6th gravity and try to run. Starting from near the LM, he first ran toward the TV camera, rolling from foot to foot in a loping or, as Jack Schmitt calls it, a cross-country skiing stride. Then as he turned and ran back toward the LM, he used the same gait again but twice changed direction by sticking a foot out to the side and pushing off of it, rather like an American football running back. Coming back toward the camera for a second time, he tried a kangaroo hop but decided that it didn't give him as much fore/aft stability as he got with the loping gait. It looked as though a crew that ventured a few hundred meters away from their LM would be able to run back in just a few minutes if the need arose.
In general, the crew of Apollo 11 went about their work with appropriate caution. However, as with later crews, as time passed, their confidence grew. Generally, they walked without bounding and, compared with later crews, their movements seem fairly stiff and restricted. However, toward the end of the EVA, the TV audience got a glimpse of Armstrong running back from a brief visit to a crater 60 meters east of the spacecraft. There was even one moment - a bit earlier in the EVA when Aldrin was lifting the scientific instruments down from its storage compartment - when Armstrong appeared to bob down on one knee, a difficult maneuver in the stiff spacesuit. Clearly, it was possible to get work done and to move with relative ease. Later crews would have more time to adapt and, building on the Apollo 11 experience, would do their work with greater and greater confidence.
With only a short time at their disposal, Armstrong and Aldrin had only a few things they could get done before they had to have the hatch closed. They raised an American Flag, deployed a solar wind collector, gathered forty-seven pounds of samples, and carried a laser reflector and the passive seismometer about twenty meters south of the LM for deployment. They hammered two, short core tubes into the soil, took about one hundred color photographs, and, finally, got themselves and the samples back into the spacecraft. Because of the restrictions imposed by the pressurized suits, by the shifted center of mass, by the weak gravitational field, and especially by the clumsy, pressurized gloves, the work was generally harder to do than it would have been in a shirtsleeve environment.
Compared with later missions, the suite of scientific gear that Armstrong and Aldrin deployed was quite modest and, as Jack Schmitt told the story during our review of this Apollo 11 summary, at least part of the reason was a concern over fuel margins.
"Probably it was spring of '68. The PSAC - the President's Scientific Advisory Committee which was chaired by Charlie Townes - asked NASA for a set of briefings that would detail how the first lunar landing mission would be conducted. And NASA had never done that because they were concentrating so hard on getting the spacecraft ready to fly. And it was a very good request; PSAC was right on the money. Asking questions like that is the way a science advisory committee can really contribute to the process, and the PSAC forced NASA to think things through. So what NASA did was assign two astronauts to each of three phases of the mission: launch to Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI), LOI to TEI (TransEarth Insertion), and then the trip home. And Buzz Aldrin and I were assigned the middle part of that. He was to do spacecraft stuff in orbit and I was to put together what we were going to do once we were on the surface. At that time the only thing NASA really had ever done in any detail was the so-called design reference mission. In fact, NASA didn't do it; Grumman did it. And that was a mission with four 4-hour EVA's. And the only thing that had happened since then was NASA backed off and said 'Well, with the ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Science Experiment Package) on board and the geology experiment, we'll have two EVA's.'
"There was lots of discussion about it. I mean, at that same time, some people were saying 'Well, maybe we ought to just have one guy go out on an umbilical; it's too dangerous.' Slayton wanted a buddy system -two guys going out with backpacks - and I was supporting him on that and I got into a lot of arguments. God, the kinds of things we went through to finally get there. And, at the same time, Buzz Aldrin was trying to get to be the first guy to go out. (Laughing) He had me working on some scheme to figure out how in the world we could justify having him and Armstrong switch places in the LM after landing. God! Anyway, in putting together the Lunar Surface EVA Operations Planning Book for the PSAC - which was the first time anybody tried to do a detailed timeline for two EVA's - it became increasingly obvious - when you put it in light of the problems the LM was having in terms of weight and everything - that the chances of 300 plus pounds of ALSEP flying were pretty small. So, in my draft charts before the final briefing, I included some issues that had to be addressed. And one of them was: do we need a contingency ALSEP? What were the two experiments that you'd like to have on the Moon if you never got another chance? And, very quickly, it was obvious what those were. One was the seismometer and one was the corner reflector. And so I had this on my draft charts.
"We did a dry run with the JSC management before giving it to PSAC. And, when that chart came up Bill (Wilmot) Hess just went ballistic! He wouldn't hear of not flying the ALSEP. I mean, the guy just lost it. And everybody was just sort of staring at him. He was Science Director and he just couldn't control himself. I don't think he's ever forgiven me for doing that. But the judgment of Bob Gilruth and George Low was 'It makes sense, so let's go to work.' Basically, we had six months - I think it was - to get it ready. It would be solar powered and lightweight. I don't remember how much it weighed. And Bill Hess was absolutely convinced - and was right - that, as soon as the contingency package existed, they'd take the ALSEP off of Apollo 11. Well, my position was that they were going to do that anyway and, if you didn't have something, you weren't going to get anything. God, we went around and around on that. But that's why Apollo 11 didn't have ALSEP but did have some science experiments."
Weight limitations were certainly one reason why Apollo 11 flew with only a few pieces of scientific gear. Another was the simple fact that, on this first landing, it was unlikely that NASA management would have approved an EVA long enough to allow the astronauts to deploy a complete ALSEP. On the Apollos 12 and 14, the ALSEP deployment typically took most of the first four-hour EVA and, as the first crew to do a lunar EVA, it seems unlikely that Armstrong and Aldrin would have been allow to stay out that long.
As Cernan suggests in his Apollo 17 commentary, there is always a best way to get a job done under lunar conditions; and, although Armstrong and Aldrin didn't have time to discover many of the tricks and didn't have the experiences of prior crews to guide them, the EVA went smoothly. That success can be ascribed readily to forethought, to careful training, and to a measure of justified caution on this first lunar visit. The only significant problem that they encountered came when Aldrin tried to drive the core tubes into the soil. Despite hammering hard enough to actually dent an extension handle attached to the top of the tubes, on both attempts Aldrin only managed to drive the tubes about 8 to 9 inches into the ground. In hindsight, the cause of Buzz's troubles was the fact that, more than a few inches below the surface, lunar soil is almost perfectly compacted, a circumstance that had not been anticipated. The core tubes were of a fairly standard design which included an internal bevel to provide some compaction of the entering soil so that it wouldn't promptly fall out. Because the lunar soil was already very compact, it simply couldn't be forced into a standard tube and it was impossible for Buzz to drive one more than a few inches deep.
What was probably the least efficient work that either Armstrong or Aldrin did came during the final minutes when Armstrong used a piece of equipment called the Lunar Equipment Conveyor or LEC to get the rock box up to Aldrin in the cabin. Essentially, it was a clothesline. After Aldrin hooked the LEC to a pulley in the cabin, Armstrong hooked the rock box to the LEC, backed away from the LM to make the line taut, and then pulled hand-over-hand as the box bounced its way up to Aldrin. It was hard work. At the start of the EVA, Armstrong's heart rate had been about 120 beats per minute and it had declined more or less steadily toward a low of about 80 as he took pictures at the rim of the crater east of the spacecraft. With time running short, he began a hurried collection of rocks and soil and his heart rate climbed to the 120-140 beat range. And then, while he was using the LEC, his heart rate shot up to 160 beats per minute and Houston had to call for a short rest. Other Apollo Commanders didn't have to work quite so hard when they were using the LEC. The excitement of the moment and the rush of collecting the bulk sample surely were contributing factors in Armstrong's case. But the LEC was an inefficient tool and, beginning with Apollo 14, the astronauts started carrying at least some of their gear up to the cabin by hand. The 16 and 17 crews did away with the clothesline LEC entirely - having decided that it was more trouble than it was worth - and hand carried everything except a bag containing their camera. That bag they raised and lowered with a hook and lanyard, a humble rope that somehow managed to inherit the LEC's name.
Two hours and thirty one minutes after they first opened the hatch, Armstrong and Aldrin reported it closed again. There were still five hours to go before Houston said "Good Night" and there was still plenty to do. There were samples to stow, gear to be jettisoned, and a long list of housekeeping tasks to be taken care of before they could have a scheduled rest period.
They slept in their suits - or tried to - with Aldrin curled up on the floor and Armstrong propped up on the ascent engine cover in the rear of the cabin. The rest period was, they said, "almost a complete loss." They were bothered by spacecraft noises and by sunlight leaking around the edges of the window shades and in through the sextant. They were cold and damp in the suits and, of course, they were really too excited to sleep. Not until Apollo 15 did anyone really get any sleep on the Moon. From Apollo 12 onward, the crews had a heater to help with the cabin temperature and hammocks they could lie in. However, it wasn't until Apollo 15 that the lunar stays were long enough - and the astronauts and mission planners had confidence enough - that the crews got out of their suits during the rest periods and, with the help of earplugs to cut down on the noise, really got some sleep. Aldrin may have gotten two hours of fitful sleep. Armstrong got none at all.
For seven hours Houston left them alone with their thoughts. Then it was time to wake up, have a quick breakfast, and get ready for the launch, the rendezvous with Collins, and the heroes' welcome awaiting them at home. If, from a practical point of view, Apollo 11 was a demonstration flight, a point of departure for the more sophisticated missions that would follow, it was still the one for the history books. The other crews would work in relative obscurity, stepping briefly into the spotlight but without leaving so lasting a public impression. There would never be anything quite like making that first footprint on another world but then, too, there was still a long way to go before humanity could claim to be more than temporary visitors to the Moon.

Find a certified MRO facility for unequaled airplane repair and overhaul.
Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) commonly refer to aircraft repair and maintenance. An MRO facility is a large company authorized to do service repairs for airplanes under various aviation authorities worldwide. It performs maintenance on aircraft belonging to airlines, individuals, government agencies, and leasing companies.
According to a recent report, the international MRO market was $616 billion in 2020. Experts project that it will expand by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.19% to reach $701.3 by 2026.
What Drives Growth in the MRO Market?
Many industries are grappling with the economic meltdown that emanated from the outbreak of COVID-19. The crisis continues to hurt businesses as demand remains low and operational and supply chain challenges persist.
While industries like aviation are some of the most affected, MRO vendors remain relevant for the following reasons:
Increased Need for Internal Efficiency
Most companies are focusing on increasing their internal efficiency. For this reason, they are investing more in digitization and maintenance operations. These factors have contributed to tremendous growth in the MRO business.
Comprehensive Framework for Business Operations
Companies are experiencing an increased need for a structure that can help them synchronize critical operations like:
- Developing a distribution strategy
- Investing in supply chain capabilities
- Enabling cross-functional decision-making
- Launching communication channels
- Identifying risks and opportunities
- Developing a distribution strategy
MRO is a vital part of keeping airline operations at peak performance.
More MRO Investment by End-User Companies
It’s undeniable that MRO reduces operational expenditure significantly through optimized supply chain management and process efficiency. As a result, many end-user companies are investing more in the MRO market. In addition, the growth of the aircraft manufacturing sector continues to boost repair and maintenance in various economies.
The Rise of Industry 4.0
The evolution of the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 has also hastened the growth of the MRO sector. Based on the Internet of things (IoT), Industry 4.0 interconnects different tech platforms and controls manufacturing equipment from anywhere globally.
These developments have enabled the top manufacturers to set up more factories. The trends have become predominant in end-user enterprises regardless of their physical addresses because of widespread technology acceptance by vendors.
How an Airline MRO Facility Works
An aviation maintenance facility provides full-service aircraft maintenance repairs and overhauls for virtually all aircraft types. Whether it’s a general aviation airplane, commercial airline, corporate jet, helicopter, government, and privately-owned aircraft, the stations are all-inclusive.
They have stands for maintenance repair for servicing large commercial airplanes. The MRO stands enable engineers to access engines and the tail assembly during airplane maintenance.
MRO stations may fall under the following categories:
MRO Facilities for Complex Parts
These are high-level aircraft repair facilities that service large, complicated airplane parts. Examples of such components include reciprocating and turbine engines, landing gear, and auxiliary power units.
Facilities for General Aircraft Maintenance
Some MRO stations offer general maintenance services on different types of aircraft. Whether you operate a major airline, training aircraft, military helicopters, or a business airplane, these stations will service just about any aircraft.
Stations for Specialized Services
In most cases, an MRO organization will have small repair stations that specialize in specific services like plating, welding, and non-destructive services. Most of these are complex procedures that necessitate specialized apparatus and technical experience.
Maintenance for Specific Components
Alternatively, an MRO facility can offer maintenance and repair for one or a few specific components. These can be electronics, avionics, fuel systems, carburetors, mechanical actuators, and so forth.
Modern Aircraft MRO Strategies
Traditionally, airplane MRO facilities specialized in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of one or a few aircraft components. Today, technologies like data analytics, artificial intelligence, and automation have become essential pillars of MRO. Service providers leverage data to solve most aircraft repair challenges and optimize an entire plane throughout its lifecycle.
An integrated approach to aircraft MRO can harmonize all areas of maintenance, repair, and overhaul. It can synchronize parts sales, inspection, and component and structural capabilities, making the processes more reliable and cost-effective.
This futuristic strategy enhances airline efficiency, streamlines the supply chain, and increases an aircraft’s time in the air during its service life. As a result, the airline expands its profit margins over the years. Further, its planes remain in pristine condition, enabling them to fetch top dollar when it’s time to sell them.
Cold Spray Repair for Reliable Restoration of Damaged Parts
New aircraft parts are pretty expensive and have prolonged lead times. For this reason, many aeronautical engineers recommend the repair of damaged and corroded parts over replacement.
Aviation manufacturers and airlines invest in research to find the most dependable and cost-effective ways to restore aircraft parts. Over the years, experts have developed different repair processes, but most of them cause excessive thermal stress untimely leading to failure. This has prompted engineers to continue looking for alternatives.
One groundbreaking solution to restoring broken airplane parts is Cold Spray technology. It works by accelerating metal powders towards the damaged area at supersonic speeds to repair it without causing thermal stress.
Apart from the aviation industry, Cold Spray is well-known in automotive and industrial applications. It works wonders on aerospace metals like aluminum, titanium, and magnesium.
Advantages of Cold Spray in Aircraft Repair
Here are some benefits of cold spray in aircraft MRO:
- Corrosion damage prevention
- Restoring corroded and damaged features
- Enhancing dielectric properties
- Increasing wear and tear resistance
- Fixing wrongly machined parts
- Improving surface conductivity
- Creating thermal management coatings
- Hardening metal parts
Overall, cold spray repair is cost-effective because it eliminates the need to replace broken parts with expensive components. Whether you run an international or regional airline, an MRO facility that uses Cold Spray saves you inventory and total aircraft restoration costs.
Furthermore, repair time reduces since you don’t have to wait for weeks to receive new components from manufacturers. This minimizes your airplane downtimes, maximizing your airline’s profit margins.

BT-13 Valiant More InfoThe Consolidated Vultee BT-13/BT-15/SNV family of Basic Trainers first entered service in 1940, and was finally retired in the late 1960’s. The Houston Wing aircraft is a BT-13A; about 7,000 of this model were built. It is estimated that only about 40 remain in flying condition today. The Houston Wing BT-13 spent 30 years as a public attraction on top of a Utah welding shop before being rescued and returned to flight status. A standard BT-13A is equipped a 450 HP Pratt & Whitney R-985-AN-1 radial engine which drives a fixed-pitch propeller (the Houston Wing’s BT-13A has a variable-pitch prop). The landing gear is not retractable, and is not equipped with fairings. Due to the large... ...
PT-19 Cornell More Cornell InfoThe Fairchild PT-19 “Cornell” was a primary trainer developed for the U.S. Army Air Force. Traditionally, primary training was done using biplanes like the Stearman PT-17 “Kaydet” or Navy N3N. However, later it was felt that the transition from the very stable and forgiving biplanes to the more challenging monoplane basic and advanced trainers was too abrupt; the student would feel overconfident after mastering the biplane and have trouble adjusting to the later monoplanes. Therefore, the Army decided to introduce monoplane primary trainers like the PT-19. With a higher wing loading and stall speed, it was more similar to the next step in the training, the BT-13. Following its... ...

Our museum is staffed on the first and third Saturday of each month from 10 AM until 3 PM. However, we can generally arrange to have the museum open for groups or other visitors at other times with some advance notice.
Most work on the aircraft and the hangar is performed on Saturdays, and on Wednesday evenings. Visitors are welcome during the work sessions (especially visitors who don’t mind getting their hands dirty!).
whs logo comm final white bghw logo webHistory The Houston Wing began as the West Houston Squadron, a Squadron of the West Texas Wing, in June 1978. Starting from three members and operating only member-owned aircraft, it has now grown to over 100 members and six assigned CAF warbirds. In 2012, the West Houston Squadron petitioned CAF Headquarters and the West Texas Wing for realignment as a direct-reporting unit (a Wing) rather than a Squadron of the West Texas Wing. Upon acceptance of this request, the West Houston Squadron became the Houston Wing.
By 1982, the Squadron had grown to about 35 members and had been assigned its first CAF aircraft, the N3N. This was a true project, with the airframe coming from two separate aircraft and arriving by truck. It would be eight years before its first flight.
Later in 1982, the Squadron was assigned its first flying aircraft, the DC-3 “Dragon Lady”. This was a BIG airplane for a still-small Squadron, and after several years of struggle, it was reluctantly returned to CAF headquarters, with the Squadron focusing on smaller aircraft (for the time being). Over the next few years, the AT-6, the BT-13 (another project aircraft), and a Stinson 108 (now with the Gulf Coast Wing) would be brought into the Squadron. In more recent times, the C-60, PT-19, and Navion would be purchased by the Squadron and donated to the CAF, which then assigned them to the Squadron for operation and care.
In 1985, the West Houston Squadron and the Gulf Coast Wing combined forces to hold the inaugural Wings Over Houston Airshow at Ellington Field (now Ellington Airport). Held every year since, and now jointly presented by the Houston Wing, the Gulf Coast Wing, and the Tora Tora Tora Sponsor Group, it is now one of the largest airshows in the country and attracts fans from all over the world.

gravity wells. However, moons orbit massive planets that require significant expenditure of fuel
to attain and leave orbit. However, moons remain attractive destinations because many of them have water
and other important resources.

Phobos orbits Mars.
“The Martian moon Phobos, imaged in color for the first time by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO), reveals
distinctive red material like that on the Martian surface. This could mean that Mars material, blasted into
space by meteorites, has collected on Phobos. It would be much easier for a sample return spacecraft to obtain
specimens there, rather than descending through, and back out of, the Martian atmosphere. A Russian spacecraft is
set for launch to Phobos in 2009 on a collection expedition. The HiRISE High-Resolution Imaging Science Camera on
MRO captured the image with 65-ft. resolution from a 4,200-mi. range. The illuminated face of the moon is just
13 mi. across. The large crater at right, named Stickney, is 5.6-mi. wide. The white material streaming from the
rim could be younger soil exposed by the meteorite impact that formed the crater.”

Case in point: the DJI Spark Mini Drone.
Even though is compact enough to be brought every day, it packs a lot of features that makes it at par with the bigger DJI quadcopters. You cannot underestimate its 1080p HD video quality that is made possible by the 1/2.3-inch, 12 megapixel CMOS sensor and the 25mm f/2.6 wide-angle lens. Combine that with a fully-charged intelligent flight battery and you get up to 16 minutes of flight time.
Even though it is small, its aerodynamic design lets it fly with minimal wind resistance. Its top speed of 50 kph in Sport Mode also keeps it steady as it travels through strong winds. Both the gimbal and the camera are also flush with the aircraft to increase the Spark’s stability. For more stability, the two-axis gimbal also reduces image blur by reducing camera shakes and shutter rolls.
However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. For a smooth and safe flight, the Spark is equipped with a Flight Autonomy System to detect and avoid obstacles and Palm Control Mode to operate the drone by hand gestures. Aside from that, the Pano mode snaps horizontal or vertical wide-angle shots while the ShallowFocus captures clear still images with a shallow depth of field using 3D Vision Technology.
The DJI Spark Mini HD Drone is available at Camera Warehouse in five colours: Alpine White, Lava Red, Meadow Green, Sky Blue, and Sunrise Yellow. You can choose between the Standard package or the Fly More Combo. The standard accessories of the DJI Spark include the Part 1 Propeller Guard, the Part 2 4730S Quick-Release Folding Propellers, the Part 3 Intelligent Flight Battery, the Part 4 Remote Controller, the Part 8 Battery Charging Hub, and the Part 14 Shoulder Bag. The Spark can be controlled by the DJI GO app, the Spark remote controller, or the DJI Goggles. | aerospace |

France has emerged as a leading player in space and is a driving force in Europe’s collective quest both to derive benefits from these markets and to shape them. But as the commercial stakes and number of players increase in what is now frequently referred as “new space”, and with the global economy growing ever more dependent on space-based digital and communications systems, there is a rising potential for the space realm to become a domain of strategic and military rivalry.
This was a central message that a group of national legislators from the NATO Parliamentary Assembly took away from a three-day trip to Paris and Toulouse on 3-5 October 2018.
Jean-Paul Granier, from France’s Directorate General for Armaments, told the delegation that the space domain has been a central element of French military doctrine, but Western nations now must update strategies to cope with the “new space phenomenon”. He noted, for example, that given countersatellite technology that rival nations are now deploying, satellites increasingly require surveillance and anti-jamming capacity to ensure their own survivability. Situational awareness is not only essential to counter aggressive actions by rival states, but also to cope with the growing problem of space debris generated by human activity in space.
Mastering the space domain also brings important terrestrial benefits. Toulouse has become the centre of the French and indeed European space industry, and its economy is booming. Jean-Luc Moudenc, the Mayor of Toulouse and President of the Toulouse Metropole, told the delegation that Toulouse has always played a leading role, as it hosted the country’s fledgling aviation sector during World War I. Since then, it has been the engine of France’s aviation and space sectors. Today commercial partnerships extend throughout the world, and Toulouse has become a cosmopolitan technology hub of international importance.
Toulouse and the region around it host a cluster of aerospace engineering companies and research centres, including Airbus, the Centre national d’études spatiales (CNES) and a university system that partners closely with these industries. This has spawned a virtuous circle, in which basic and applied research are generating insights and technologies with consequential commercial and strategic implications, Mayor Moudenc reported. The space and aviation sectors in the region are growing rapidly, triggering a boom in innovation and economic growth. The region around Toulouse is now generating thousands of jobs due to advances in aviation technologies, satellite production and a host of sectors that support these industries or spin off from them.
The delegation consisted of 11 members of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s Sub-Committee on Trans-Atlantic Economic Relations. It was led by two of its Vice Chairs, Jean-Luc Reitzer, of France and Christian Tybring-Gjedde of Norway. French Senator Jean-Marie Bockel, hosted the delegation and helped organise the visit, which included tours of facilities at Airbus Defence and Space, CNES and Thalès-Alénia-Space in Toulouse, and Arianespace Launch Services in Les Mureaux, outside of Paris.
At the time of the visit, Senator Bockel, Rapporteur of the NATO PA’s Economics and Security Committee was working on a draft report on the Future of the Space Industry, to be presented at the Assembly’s Annual Session in Halifax, Canada, last November. The final report can be found on the NATO PA website. [...] | aerospace |

Some of the closest images we have ever seen of Saturn’s rings were just captured as NASA’s Cassini spacecraft orbits the gas giant in its ring-grazing phase. The spacecraft has been flying around the outer rings every week since November and is sending back new images that reveal features called straw and propellers. They are caused by small moons, and resemble gaps in the rings. Cassini has been studying Saturn’s rings for 13 years, and will end its mission this April. | aerospace |
