Twin CubeSats, nicknamed WALL-E and EVE, followed NASA InSight’s landing on Mars last year. When the lander descended to the Martian surface in November, briefcase-sized satellites flew past the red planet, providing real-time updates to ground controllers in this first experiment of its kind.
This week NASA said it hasn’t heard from them in over a month, and it doubts it ever will. WALL-E, which had been losing fuel since takeoff last May, radioed on December 29. It is now more than 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) beyond Mars. EVE went to her mother on January 4; They are almost 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers) beyond the red planet.
These were the first CubeSats to venture into deep space, part of an $ 18.5 million experiment to see if such compact and cheap devices could serve as radio transmitters on distant worlds.
“There is great potential in these small packages,” program manager John Baker of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said in a statement.
Chief Engineer Andy Klesh noted that the mission was to push the boundaries of miniaturized technology.
“We have put a stake in the ground,” he said. “Future CubeSats could go even further.”
Engineers speculate that WALL-E and EVE could wobble and be unable to accurately aim to send messages, or there could be problems with recharging the battery. In any case, the mini satellites will remain in an elongated orbit around the sun. They were named after the main characters in the 2008 animated film. Meanwhile, NASA is still trying to get in touch with the Mars Landing Opportunity, silenced last June by a global dust storm that blocked sunlight. reach your solar panels. Managers see it as a last-ditch effort to get to Opportunity, which recently turned 15 on Mars. | aerospace |

Brian is a very keen aviator and has been flying privately for quite a few years now. Dedicated and passionate flyers are always welcome on the podcast so I’m glad to say Brian’s agreed to come on the podcast to share the experiences of his flight training from PPL to CPL and on to Flying Instructor.
I started out by asking Brian about his early flying career. Smitten with the flying bug from an early age he applied to British Airways for their cadet pilot training programme and although he got through to the interview stage he didn’t get the scholarship award.
Having gone off to university to start a career outside of aviation he came back to flying when he’d saved enough money to start flight training which he did at Multiflight, Leeds.
After a few hours flying at Leeds Bradford he was invited to go flying over at Caernarfon in North Wales by a colleague and he was so taken with the place that he decided to do the remainder of his PPL training there.
Brian managed to complete his PPL after a year’s training at Caernarfon and it was whilst he was there that he got interested in flying biz-jets.
After his PPL, Brian moved jobs and found it convenient to continue his flying based at Sherburn Airfield near York. At Sherburn he did his night rating and went on to build 100 hours of flight time with a view to progressing to doing the CPL licence.
Brian went on to do his CPL ground school training with CATS and the actual CPL flight training element with Advanced Flight Training at Sherburn.
AFT have access to several aircraft at Sherburn, using a PA-28 and a Grumman Cougar GA7 twin engined aircraft for twin ratings. As Brian wanted to get a CPL with twin rating he spent many a happy hour flying the Cougar.
He’s committed to passing on his knowledge of flying to others so Brian has begun the Flying Instructor course at AFT but he’d like to eventually split his time between flight instruction and flying commercially. He’s interested in such commercial flying operations as parachute dropping, flying biz-jets or maybe flying for fisheries patrols or the Ordnance Survey. Not a bad life for an aviation nut eh?
In addition to his current ratings and licences, which now includes the IMC, Brian is intending to move on to do his Instrument Rating with AFT. Incidentally, he recommends that anyone who’s interested in flying safely should get the IMC rating before its potential demise when EASA rules take effect in a few years’ time.
As per usual in these podcasts we ended up discussing memorable flights that we’d completed. Brian’s CPL cross country flights included a couple of long distance flights one of which took him up to Scotland. That was one of his most memorable aviation experiences taking him from Caernarfon to Islay, Oban, Inverness via the Great Glen, Stornoway, back to Oban, Prestwick and then back to Caernarfon via Barton – I know it well.
I asked Brian why he had chosen CATS for his ground school studies.
He said that he liked their flexible approach to the completion of your studies and exams enabling candidates to fit the course in around your work life. He also liked the fact that they split their studies into 3 parts making the exam schedule a bit easier to cope with.
Brian was particularly impressed with CATS, especially with how they made some of the more taxing subjects, like air law, easier to cope with.
If you’ve never flown into Sherburn, it’s a great little airfield and well worth a visit, even if, like me today, you have to come by road. Sherburn Aero Club’s web site can be found at:
From what Brian tells me, Advanced Flight Training is an extremely professional flight training organization. If you’d like more info about them have a look at their web site: | aerospace |

But she’s still planning to vote — from space.
“It’s critical to participate in our democracy,” Rubins told the Associated Press. “We consider it an honor to be able to vote from space.”
Rubins, who has a Ph.D. in cancer biology from Stanford and was the first person to sequence DNA in space, is currently training for her upcoming six-month mission on the International Space Station.
Voting from the space station is similar to voting absentee from anyplace on the planet — except instead of relying on the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the ballot, Rubins will get hers forwarded electronically from Mission Control in Houston.
“Using a set of unique credentials sent to each of them by e-mail, astronauts can access their ballots, cast their votes, and downlink them back down to Earth,” the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum explained in 2018.
The ballot is then sent to the county clerk for tabulation.
American astronauts have been able to cast ballots from above for over two decades now, ever since a Texas lawmaker learned that astronaut John Blaha couldn’t vote in the 1996 presidential race between Bill Clinton and Bob Dole. At the time, Blaha was serving on Russia’s Mir Space Station, a predecessor to the ISS.
“He expressed a little bit disappointment in not being able to do that,” Republican State Senator Mike Jackson told NPR’s Nell Greenfieldboyce in 2008.
Voting from space had never really been an issue before then, because NASA astronauts typically spent no more than about two weeks on shuttle missions. But with the advent of the space station, Americans were sometimes on missions for months at a time.
So a new law was born. “I can attest to how important one person’s vote is because my first election I won by seven votes out of over 26,000,” Jackson said.
Texas lawmakers approved the measure in 1997, and then-Gov. George W. Bush signed it into law. That same year, astronaut David Wolf became the first American to “vote while you float,” as NASA cheekily put it.
“I voted alone up in space, very alone, the only English speaker up there, and it was nice to have an English ballot, something from America,” Wolf told The Atlantic in 2016. “It made me feel closer to the Earth and like the people of Earth actually cared about me up there.”
Most NASA astronauts live in Houston, so since that Texas law was passed, several astronauts have been able to cast ballots from above. This isn’t even the first time Rubins has exercised her orbital privilege; she also voted in the 2016 presidential election from the space station — listing her address as “low-Earth orbit.”
“I think it’s really important for everybody to vote,” Rubins said. “If we can do it from space, then I believe folks can do it from the ground, too.”

NASA successfully tags asteroid Bennu: What you need to know about the mission – CNET
Editors’ note: Osiris-Rex has touched down on Bennu.. Our answers to questions about the mission are below.
major first for NASA and a boon for science, space exploration and our understanding of the solar system.briefly Tuesday to snag some rocks and dust from its surface to be returned to Earth for study. On Wednesday, NASA . The event marks a
The touch-and-go, or TAG, sample collection of asteroid 101955 Bennu was deemed a success at around 3:12 p.m. PT. NASA broadcast the TAG maneuver live on NASA TV and the agency’s website. You can find a video at the end of this piece. For answer to your mission questions, read on.
When did the mission begin?
Osiris-Rex as a concept has been in existence since at least 2004, when a team of astronomers first proposed the idea to NASA. After more than a decade of development, the spacecraft, atop an Atlas V rocket from United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing. The spacecraft spent the next 26 months cruising to Bennu, officially arriving on Dec. 3, 2018.
Since then, the mission team has spent nearly two years orbiting the diamond-shaped space rock, surveying and mapping its surface to select the best sampling spot. In recent months, rehearsals led up to the sample collection attempt.
Bennu is what’s called a “rubble pile” asteroid, meaning it was formed in the deep cosmic past when gravity slowly forced together remnants of an ancient collision. The result is a body shaped something like a spinning top with a diameter of around one-third of a mile (500 meters) and a surface strewn with large rocks and boulders.
Bennu is thought to be a window into the solar system’s past: a pristine, carbon-rich body carrying the building blocks of planets and of life. Some of these resources, such as water and metals, could also be worth mining at some point in the future for use on Earth or in space exploration.
The asteroid has one other characteristic that makes it particularly interesting to scientists, and humans in general. It has a chance of impacting Earth in the distant future. On NASA’s list of impact risks, Bennu is ranked No. 2. Current data shows dozens of potential impacts in the final quarter of the 22nd century, although all only have a minute chance of actually happening.
How does TAG work?
For anyone who’s ever dabbled with robots or maybe even entered a robotics competition, the Osiris-Rex mission would seem to be the ultimate culmination of a young roboticist’s dreams. The touch-and-go sampling procedure is a complex, high-stakes task that’s been building to a key climactic moment for years. If it succeeds, it will play a role in history and our future in space.
The basic plan was for Osiris-Rex to touch down on Bennu at a rocky. The van-size spacecraft would need to negotiate building-size boulders around the landing area to touch down on a relatively clear space that’s only as large as a few parking spaces. However, a robotic sampling arm was the only part of Osiris-Rex to actually set down on the surface. One of three pressurized nitrogen canisters was fired to stir up a sample of dust and small rocks that could then be caught in the arm’s collector head for safe keeping and return to Earth.
The descent to the surface of Bennu took roughly four hours, about the time it takes the asteroid to make one full revolution. After this slow approach, the actual TAG sample collection procedure remarkably lasted only a few seconds.
Preparing for TAG did not go exactly as planned. Mission organizers initially hoped the surface of Bennu would have plenty of potential landing spots covered primarily with fine materials comparable to sand or gravel. It turns out the surface of Bennu is extremely rugged with no real welcoming landing spots.
After spending much of the last two years reevaluating the mission, the team decided to try “threading the needle” through the boulder-filled landscape at Nightingale.
It’s all paid off, so far., but we won’t know for sure if it collected a sample until later in October. Fortunately, if the tag was unsuccessful, the spacecraft can try again. It’s equipped with three nitrogen canisters to fire and disrupt the surface, which means the team gets up to three tries at nabbing a sample.
Immediately after collecting its sample, Osiris-Rex fired its thrusters to back away from Bennu. The spacecraft will continue to hang around above Bennu for the rest of 2020 before finally performing a departure maneuver next year and beginning a two-year journey back to Earth.
On Sept. 24, 2023, Osiris-Rex is scheduled to jettison its sample return capsule, which will land in the Utah desert and be recovered for study.
Hasn’t this been done before?
Yes. Japan’s Hayabusa spacecraft successfully returned tiny grains of the asteroid 25143 Itokawa to Earth in 2010. Its successor, Hayabusa-2, and then retrieved some of the shrapnel. That sample is on its way back to Earth.
How can I watch?
The CNET Highlights channel covered the event live. You can rewatch the stream below:
Trio who spent six months on space station return to Earth safely – World News – Castanet.net
A trio of space travellers safely returned to Earth on Thursday after a six-month mission on the International Space Station.
The Soyuz MS-16 capsule carrying NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy, and Roscosmos’ Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner landed on the steppes of Kazakhstan southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan Thursday. After a brief medical checkup, the three will be taken by helicopters to Dzhezkazgan, from where they will depart home.
Cassidy will board a NASA plane back to Houston, while Vagner and Ivanishin will fly home to Star City, Russia.
The crew smiled as they talked to masked members of the recovery team, and NASA and Roscosmos reported that they were in good condition.
As part of additional precautions due to the coronavirus, the rescue team members meeting the crew were tested for the virus and the number of people involved in the recovery effort was limited.
Cassidy, Ivanishin and Vagner spent 196 days in orbit, having arrived at the station on April 9. They left behind NASA’s Kate Rubins and Roscosmos’ Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, who arrived at the orbiting outpost a week ago for a six-month stay.
Cassidy, returning from his third space mission, has now spent a total of 378 days in space, the fifth highest among U.S. astronauts.
While serving as the station’s commander, Cassidy welcomed SpaceX Demo-2 crew Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, the first NASA astronauts to launch to the space station on an American spacecraft from American soil since the retirement of the space shuttle fleet in 2011.
Cassidy and Behnken completed four spacewalks for a total of 23 hours and 37 minutes, becoming two of only four U.S. astronauts to complete 10 spacewalks.
Before the crew’s departure, Russian cosmonauts were able to temporarily seal the air leak they tried to locate for several months. The small leak has posed no immediate danger to the station’s crew, and Roscosmos engineers have been working on a permanent seal.
In November, Rubins, Ryzhikov and Kud-Sverchkov are expected to greet NASA’s SpaceX first operational Crew Dragon mission comprising NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi.
Watch NASA's Spacecraft Touch Down on a Tiny Asteroid – Futurism
NASA has finally released footage from a truly epic moment: the agency’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft touching down on asteroid Bennu’s surface to scoop up a bunch of space rocks.
Years have led up to this moment. Finally, on Tuesday, the spacecraft made its careful approach to go in for a bite. The tiny spacecraft spent two years orbiting Bennu, an asteroid 500 meters across, which was more than 200 million miles away from Earth at the time.
Well, I definitely touched down on Bennu!
Preliminary data show the sampling head touched Bennu’s surface for approximately 6 seconds, within 3 feet (1 meter) of the targeted location. #ToBennuAndBack
— NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (@OSIRISREx) October 21, 2020
Kicking Up Rocks
OSIRIS-REx only touched the surface of the space rock for about six seconds, according to NASA, near the Nightingale crater, a crater about 66 feet across near Bennu’s north pole.
“Bottom line is from analysis of the images that we’ve gotten down so far, is that the sampling event went really well, as good as we could have imagined it would,” principal investigator Dante Lauretta said during a press conference following the touchdown. “And I think the chances that there’s material inside […] have gone way up way up based on the analysis of the images.”
The OSIRIS-REx team chose the site because prior scans showed a variety of rocky surface materials. Scientists also believe the rocks are relatively young at the crater compared to the rest of the asteroid, meaning that a sample could give them the best insights into Bennu’s history.
Immediately following the collection maneuver, the spacecraft burned its boosters to back away and gain a safe distance.
While it was an incredible feat for NASA to pull off, it’s not the first time a space agency has collected samples from an asteroid. The Japanese space agency’s Hayabusa spacecraft became the first to do so in 2010 when it sampled a few micrograms of material from the Itokawa asteroid.

According to Bloomberg’s information, Ellman, a partner in the law firm Hogan Lovells, leads her firm’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems practice and is also the co-founder of the Commercial Drone Alliance.
Similarly, Lisa Ellman worked in the Obama administration and the Department of Justice early in her career, and has been doing lobbying work for Apple since December.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard something about Apple and drones. Since 2016 the company has been using drones for data collection purposes to improve the quality of Apple Maps . Apple drones can capture and update mapping data faster than the minivans that have been used to collect mapping information since 2015.
In 2018, the apple firm also participated in a pilot program that allows the company to operate drones in forms restricted by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration . Apple partnered with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to use drones to capture airborne mapping data.
At AppleApple he confirms that he will use drones to improve his maps in the United States
Bloomberg suggests that this movement shows a new momentum in the growing field of drones . Apple also has a team working on satellites that Ellman could help with, specifically on the issue of regulation. | aerospace |

The ministry said that the missiles were downed by the Arab Republic’s air defenses as they approached their targets.
“The Syrian air defense system has been conducting an anti-air fight,” the ministry added.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Syria repelled the Western attack by air defense complexes made in the USSR over 30 years ago.
“Syrian means of air defense: S-125, S-200 air defense systems, Buk and Kvadrat were used in the repelling the missile strike.”
According to the Russian military, the massive missile strike on objects of military and civilian infrastructure was conducted by US warships jointly with the UK and French air forces at 3:42-5:10 Moscow time.
A total of 100 cruise and air-to-surface missiles were launched at targets in Syria, the Russian Defense Ministry stated, noting that two US warships carried out the attack from the Red Sea, as well as tactical aviation over the Mediterranean Sea and B-1B bombers from al-Tanf area.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, has slammed the Western states’ move, saying that the strike “has been launched at the capital of a sovereign state that has been fighting for survival for years amid terrorist aggression.”
Earlier in the day, the United States, the United Kingdom and France launched missile strikes on a number of targets in Syria in response to an alleged chemical attack in the Damascus’ suburb of Douma, Eastern Ghouta.
The countries blamed on Damascus despite the launch of a probe into the incident.
On Friday, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that it had proof that the “chemical attack” in Douma had been a provocation and had been staged by Western-backed NGOs, including the White Helmets. | aerospace |

January 11, 2021 5 min learn
This story initially appeared on Market Beat
To say the least, it has been a bumpy trip for Boeing (NYSE: BA) inventory the final couple of years. After ascending to a report peak of $ 446.01 in March 2019, shares of the nation’s largest airline producer traded under the $ 100 mark simply two years later due to the 737 MAX disasters and the crippling results of the pandemic on the journey trade.
However with some constructive developments in latest weeks and the market anticipating smoother air over the long-haul, Boeing inventory has regained the $ 200 stage. Loads of uncertainty nonetheless swirls across the firm, however from an funding standpoint, is that this a great time to get on board?
What are the headwinds for Boeing?
Boeing just lately paid $ 2.5 billion as a part of an settlement to terminate the Justice Division’s 737 MAX investigation. This was actually a weight off the corporate’s shoulders, however the skies stay removed from pleasant.
There continues to be a darkish cloud hanging over the corporate within the type of ongoing authorized claims. Final quarter alone, Boeing paid out $ 744 million in authorized settlements — and many extra is probably going forthcoming. Households of the 737 MAX crash victims proceed to file lawsuits in opposition to Boeing.
In the meantime, Boeing is going through additional scrutiny from each the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Securities and Trade Fee (SEC). It might have to cope with further civil penalties concerning an alleged lack of honesty with FAA regulators each prior to and within the aftermath of the disasters. Boeing’s company tradition has been accused of being poisonous and centered on profitability slightly than security.
Then there’s the pandemic which continues to be having a significant affect on journey demand and the airliner’s capacity to pay for new Boeing deliveries. Consequently, plane orders are being canceled and deferred making it onerous for Boeing to entry much-needed money. That is basically out of its palms however given the uncertainty across the worsening COVID-19 developments, is motive to proceed rigorously with this inventory.
And what about Boeing’s tailwinds?
After all, the argument from the bullish perspective says that regardless of the authorized and pandemic challenges, the are clearer skies forward for Boeing. And which may be why shopping for into the inventory now earlier than these headwinds doubtlessly fade could also be a good suggestion as a result of it has in all probability bottomed and is probably going for one other transfer up.
Probably the most favorable improvement for Boeing was when the FAA lifted its grounding of the 737 MAX. This set the stage for the beleaguered jet producer to generate development from a airplane that prior to the deadly crashes was its greatest gross sales and earnings driver. Nonetheless, analysts count on that it can be at the least a pair extra years earlier than Boeing ramps manufacturing of the 737 MAX and the extremely touted Dreamliner.
The second tailwind for Boeing is progress on the COVID-19 vaccine entrance. With vaccine distribution now underway throughout the globe, the airline trade is hoping for a surge in journey quantity later this yr as restrictions are doubtlessly lifted and folks develop into extra comfy with air journey. And with Boeing having a big backlog of plane orders, this might ultimately quantity to an improved capacity to guide income.
Additionally misplaced within the shuffle is the truth that Boeing just isn’t solely a industrial airline enterprise. It additionally makes plane, protection programs, satellites, communications programs, and associated merchandise for the army. As one of many prime protection contractors, Boeing’s protection division is a worthwhile enterprise that has helped help its general financials through the latest struggles. It serves as a stable, much less talked about co-pilot for the corporate’s development prospects.
Is it a great time to purchase Boeing inventory?
Boeing is at greatest a 2022 or 2023 turnaround story. Though the share worth may development increased earlier than then, even essentially the most affected person buyers will probably have to endure a whole lot of turbulence in 2021.
This previous weekend’s lethal crash of yet one more Boeing plane in Indonesia has thrust the corporate again into an unfavorable highlight. Though it concerned an older 737 mannequin slightly than the MAX, it nonetheless calls into query the security of Boeing’s plans quickly after it obtained clearance to fly its 737 MAX.
Whereas we don’t know the reason for this accident and pilot error is at all times a risk, it offers Boeing one other black eye that gained’t be resolved for some time. This implies the inventory will probably be underneath stress within the short-term — and that is extra motive for buyers to keep in a holding sample.
Within the meantime, Boeing has a brand new pilot on the controls in former Chairman and new CEO David Calhoun. Though early steps in the direction of orchestrating a turnaround have instilled hope, Calhoun faces a tall order. This represents one other layer of uncertainty for Boeing.
General, Boeing inventory has a extra favorable risk-reward profile than it did a yr in the past. However there are nonetheless too many hurdles for the corporate to overcome to restore religion amongst regulators, prospects, and vacationers — and subsequently in all probability extra migraines to come for buyers. Though the depressed worth suggests Boeing inventory goes for peanuts, there are safer methods to play the air journey rebound theme. | aerospace |

That infinite expanse of possibility has delighted our imaginations more still as we have sent men and women out to study and explore what exists beyond our atmosphere. But ever since Yuri Gagarin became the first person in space in 1961, there have only been 535 others who have followed in his wake. When you compare that to the approximately 7 billion people who would like to go to space, you are faced with a classic supply and demand problem.
That is where CASIS and Deep Space Industries come in. Teaming up with Thrillbox for distribution, the two organizations are teaming up to put a 360 camera on the International Space Station to capture video that CASIS that will be repurposed for public consumption. The spherical video will give users a unique glimpse inside the tight quarters of the space station.
“The space station is packed with equipment, literally in every direction. Gear is built into the walls, embedded in the floor, and tucked into the ceiling,” said David Gump, DSI Vice Chair. “The spherical video captured during a float through will enable people to look everywhere, as they would if they were up in the station themselves.”
And it isn’t just the space station itself that Gump wants to capture, “in phase two,” he says, “we would like to take a spherical video camera outside of the space station, attached to a robotic arm, or to a crew member, or maybe on a tether so it can get a view of the Earth and the space station together.” Until then, they intend to make full use of the big window on the ISS.
Previously, SpaceVR raised over $113K on Kickstarter to send a 360º camera into space, releasing the footage they capture on a subscription basis with an option for an unlimited content subscription for $50. CASIS, Deep Space Industries, and Thrillbox are choosing to go a different route, “we are discouraging the monetization of this content using a subscription model,” says Benjamin Durham, Co-Founder and CEO of Thrillbox, “as access to space-based content should be universally accessible.” As of right now, pricing and monetization strategies are still being discussed, for example the team is actively exploring “bundle deals” with the major HMD companies.
SpaceVR is currently targeting “September 2016,” release date for it’s content, according to the Kickstarter. CASIS and DSI are targeting a similar release time frame, perhaps triggering a modern space race of sorts between the two groups. It will be interesting to see who makes it first, but it will be even more interesting to see who makes it best.
In July 2011, NASA selected CASIS to maximize use of the ISS U.S. National Laboratory through 2020. CASIS’ mission “is to maximize use of this unparalleled platform for innovation, which can benefit all humankind and inspire a new generation to look to the stars.” | aerospace |

In this video, Professor Martin Wooster will guide you through some of the basic principles used to observe the Earth from space, including a brief description of electromagnetic radiation, ‘passive’ and ‘active’ remote sensing approaches, and the main types of orbit from which satellites can observe the Earth at the necessary spatial and temporal scales.
The fundamental techniques for observing the Earth using orbiting satellites are based on the principles of how electromagnetic radiation, (such as sunlight), is emitted, transmitted and absorbed, and how sensors onboard satellites can record the signatures of this electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as it leaves the top of the atmosphere.
Depending on the type of information we would like to gather, we can specifically tailor satellites, their orbits, and their ‘remote sensing’ instruments, to measure certain wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation at particular spatial scales and repetition rates.

Early on Saturday, Nov. 17, a Northrop Grumman Antares rocket successfully launched from NASA’s Wallops Island Flight Facility for a resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Aboard the Cygnus cargo vessel is MISSE-10, and work by Professor Raymond Adomaitis’ (ChBE/ISR) Thin Film Group. MISSE-10 is a materials science experiment that will expose a range of material samples to the surprisingly active environment of low Earth orbit (LEO) for over one year in space; the samples then will be returned to Earth for further evaluation. The Cygnus successfully docked with the ISS on Nov. 19. Watch video here.
About the thin film experiment
With the support of NASA and the National Science Foundation, a special atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor for depositing indium oxide (IO) and tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) films was constructed on the University of Maryland campus.
"Because of the atomic-level control of film thickness and the wide range of materials that can be deposited, atomic layer deposition processes have great potential for spacecraft applications where weight reduction and material performance are critical," Adomaitis says.
The reactor was used to deposit conductive thin films (less than 100 atoms thick) of indium IO and ITO on pigment nanoparticles to create the four samples being sent into space on Saturday. Researchers working on the project included Adomaitis' ChBE Ph.D. students Hossein Salami and Alan Uy, ChBE M.S. student Aarathi Vadapalli, and Chemical Engineering M.Eng. student Corinne Grob, in conjunction with Adomaitis' former student Vivek Dwivedi (PhD ChE 2010), now the associate head of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Thermal Engineering Branch.
More details of the Adomaitis group's MISSE10 work—also known as the Innovative Coatings Experiment—can be found here on NASA’s website.

NASA i.e. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is the agency of the United States government that is responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research.
On July 29, 1958 Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act. Projects of NASA were started on October 1, 1958. Three major research laboratories (Langley Aeronautical Laboratory, Ames Aeronautical Laboratory, and Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory) and two small test facilities were established.
Extend and sustain human activities across the solar system Expand scientific understanding of the Earth and the universe Create the innovative new space technologies Advance aeronautics research Enable program and institutional capabilities to conduct NASA’s aeronautics and space activities
The most notable NASA activities are its space flight programs, both manned and unmanned for carrying scientific equipment, or supportive, testing equipment for manned flights. NASA’s missions focused on the space race with the Soviet Union,later with USA like APOLLO MOON project. They have also brought telescopes for Deep space exploration into orbit around the Earth.
Main objective was to make the first single- astronaut flights into Earth orbit. The first seven astronauts were selected among candidates from the Navy, Air Force and Marine test pilot programs. On May 5, 1961,Alan Shepard became the first American in space aboard Freedom 7, launched by a Redstone booster. on February 20, 1962, John Glenn became the first American to be launched into orbit by an Atlas launch vehicle.
Main objective was to grow the Mercury spacecraft capabilities to long-duration flights,and precision Earth landing. Project Gemini was started as a two-man program in 1962 to overcome the Soviets' lead. The first manned Gemini flight, Gemini 3, was flown by Gus Grissom and John Young on March 23, 1965. Nine missions followed in 1965 and 1966, demonstrating an endurance mission of nearly fourteen days.
one of the most expensive American scientific programs ever. It is estimated to have cost $200 billion in present-day US dollars. It used the Saturn rockets as launch vehicles. The spacecraft had two main parts, the combined command and service module (CSM) and the lunar landing module (LM).
Apollo 8, brought astronauts for the first time in a flight around the Moon in December 1968. Finally the Moon landing was made on the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969. The first person to stand on the Moon was Neil Armstrong, who was followed by Buzz Aldrin,& Michael Collins
Skylab was the United States' first and only independently built space station. space station was conceived in 1965 & launched on May 14, 1973. It was damaged during launch by the loss of its thermal protection and one electricity-generating solar panel. It included a laboratory for studying the effects of microgravity, and a solar observatory.
It became the major focus of NASA in the late 1970s and the 1980s. Planned as a frequently launchable and mostly reusable vehicle, four space shuttle orbiters were built by 1985. The first to launch,Columbia, did so on April 12, 1981,the 20th anniversary of the first space flight by Yuri Gagarin. Its major components were a spaceplane orbiter with an external fuel tank and two solid fuel launch rockets at its side.
Missions could last from 5 to 17 days and crews could be from 2 to 8 astronauts. The Shuttle fleet lost two orbiters and 14 astronauts in two disasters: Challenger in 1986, and Columbia in 2003 (Kalpana chawla was one of the astronauts).

The Federal Government will invest $55 million into a new space industry research program that aims to be a ‘game changer' for Australia's space economy.
The Cooperative Research Centre for Smart Satellite Technologies and Analytics (SmartSat CRC) will be the cornerstone of space technologies, as it aims to lift Australia's space industry to $12 billion and an extra 20,000 jobs by 2030.
The SmartSat CRC is the result of more than $190 million funding from 84 research and industry partners, one of which is the University of South Australia.
Professor Andy Koronios says the global space economy is worth more than $500 billion, but only with serious investment and research.
“Australia has had a strong pedigree and a long history in space with excellent scientific capabilities in instrumentation and communications technologies but until now, the research has not been brought together to build a new industry for Australia, and to capitalise on the exponential growth of the global space economy,” says Koronios.
“Our goal in bringing together the bid for SmartSat, was to show the huge potential and capacity there is in Australia to make an impact globally by developing leapfrogging technologies in areas where we have some of the best expertise on the planet – AI, advanced communications and remote sensing analytics.
He notes that Australia has a small space footprint for such a large country – but it can't relate on other countries to serve Australia's needs.
Australia was the third nation to launch a satellite into space; however a lack of funding and uncoordinated efforts have left Australia playing catch up.
The SmartSat CRC will ensure Australia can execute a technological leap-frog to deliver smart satellite systems that are Australian designed, owned and operated and that will deliver the nation real-time connectivity, surveillance and sensing capability over land and sea, earth observation data to monitor climate and development, and the power to drive industry innovation and the growth of the Internet of Things.
“For example, through their advanced remote sensing capabilities with satellites passing over Australia every day, other nations have the ability to predict our crop yields before we can. As we advance at a pace to an era of machine-to-machine communications and the Internet of Things satellites are becoming central,” says Koronios.
The University of South Australia is not the only Australian organisation that is hailing the program. FrontierSI CEO Graeme Kernich speaks about his company's role.
“We will apply our expertise, working alongside the SmartSatCRC, to ensure the research is looked at through the widest lens, creating further demand for Earth observation data and analytics across agriculture, mining, logistics and environmental management of natural disasters, such as fire and floods,” he says.

The prototype Vulcan first flew in August 1952 and the first production version, the Avro Vulcan B.1, entered RAF service in September 1956.
The Avro Vulcan B.2 was introduced in 1960, it featured more powerful engines, a larger re-designed wing and electronic countermeasures (ECM), some were later modified to carry the Blue Steel rocket-propelled 1.1 megaton nuclear stand-off missile in place of a nuclear gravity bomb. Blue Steel was a British designed air-launched, rocket-propelled nuclear stand-off missile designed to be carried by the Avro Vulcan Strategic bomber. Blue Steel's nuclear warhead was the Red Snow 1.1 MT thermonuclear warhead from the RAF's existing Yellow-Sun Atomic Gravity Bomb. Blue Steel was Great Britain's primary nuclear deterrent from from 1963 to 1970 when it was superseded by the introduction of the Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile system.
The RAF's V-force, especially the Vulcan, was the backbone of the United Kingdom’s nuclear deterrent throughout much of the Cold War and represented a significant stabilising influence in October 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis, at this time WW3 was a definite possibility.
If if the worst had happened, and WW3 had started in 1962, RAF Vulcan B2's would have been the first Western Nuclear equipped bombers to enter Soviet airspace, at least an hour before the American Boeing B52's which were constantly on station in the air two hours flying time from their designated Soviet targets. The Soviet leadership were fully aware of these facts at this time and it would have been seen as an significant reason to avoid the risk of escalation into a Nuclear War.
The RAF's Vulcan bombers only ever made operational bombing sorties during 1982 in "Operation Black Buck", Avro Vulcan B.2 aircraft, armed with conventional bombs and Shrike anti-radar missiles, flew 3890 miles (6,260 km) from Ascension Island to Stanley during the Falklands conflict to attack the airfield's runways, they were re-fuelled by Handley Page Victor F2 tankers on numerous occasions.
As the Vulcan was reaching the end of it's operational life the remaining aircraft were in relatively poor condition, in over a decade, since their relegation to a normal bomber role, they had not had to use their refuelling probes in and it was necessary to remove one one from a museum aircraft in order to make enough aircraft operational to successfully complete "Operation Black Buck".

Another fine picture from Newark - a place which I must visit sometime. I like this one because I've also posted a similar picture - this one taken at the aircraft museum at East Fortune, not far from Edinburgh. Unfortunately I was foolish enough to refer to Baroness Thatcher (she had died the day previously) in my upload (that particular aeroplane took part in the Falklands War) and that caused just a little upset to one or two TE members.
Your use of quite a wide angle has accentuated the perspective very well in this case and the 'plane is perfectly depicted against a wonderfully interesting sky. Gorgeous light and colours and exquisite details and sharpness too. | aerospace |

Core found a crashed alien wreckage that was still in good condition and examined it to find out the secret of alien engines. A source powered with Spectolyte-3. This material is commonly found on several planets and can that way be used as fuel in alien engines. Alien engines are commonly used in craft that are even now called UFOs. Core designed new plant that can produce these engines and create UFOs. And what is so good in UFOs? They are more manouverable, agile and tougher than aircraft. Although they are much slower they are not as vulnerable to Anti Aircraft weaponry. Ufos cost little more metal and energy and take little more time to build than aircraft but are worth it.
UFOs are built in Ufo lab that can produce 6 different ufos. A scout ufo, radar ufo, anti aircraft laser and missile ufo, flamer gunship Ufo and heavy laser Ufo.

By: Alexandra Field, CNN
Doswell, VA (CNN) - What caused a hot air balloon to slam into power lines at a Virginia festival? Federal authorities are now investigating the fiery crash that killed the pilot and two passengers.
Hours before the ill-fated flight at a hot air balloon festival in Doswell, Virginia - one of the victims documented her apparent excitement with a series of Instagram pictures - One of them with the eerie caption - "Will go up this evening #anxiety"
911 Operator: "Got a report that the basket has come off and we're trying to find that right now."
The NTSB is now investigating a crash that killed three people, one month after the agency issued a letter to the FAA urging greater safety regulations meant to "address operational deficiencies in commercial sightseeing (air tour) balloon operations"
Heidi Moats - NTSB Air Safety: "During the investigation, we will examine the man, the machine and the environment."
The balloon hit a power line Friday night as it came in for landing, catching fire. Then, a small explosion separated the basket from the balloon. Witnesses saw two people jump or fall.
Carrie Hager-Bradley – Witness: "You could hear them screaming "Please Dear God, Sweet Jesus, help us, we're going to die."
Daniel Kirk, the pilot, had thirty years of flying experience according to his father. A police spokesperson says the pilot was seen doing safety maneuvers.
Corinne Geller - Virginia State Police: "He was taking every effort he could to manage the situation and extinguish the fire."
His passengers were Ginny Doyle a 44 year-old basketball coach at the University of Richmond, and Natalie Lewis her 24 year old coworker. Both were alumnae of the university, which honored them Sunday with a moment of silence during a commencement ceremony.
A spokesperson for Meadow Event Park where the balloon festival was held says that the FAA was on site inspecting balloons and records pre-flight. An FAA spokesperson wouldn't comment on the investigation, saying only that FAA safety inspectors routinely conduct surveillance at airshows, balloon festivals and other aviation events. | aerospace |

Celebrating 56 years of NASA in Rocket City, USA. After World War II, Redstone Arsenal, located just east of the Huntsville Airport, was selected for the Army's rocket and missile development program. A group of German scientists and engineers led by Wernher von Braun developed what became known as the PGM-11 Redstone Rocket, the first large American ballistic missile. On January 31, 1958 Explorer 1, America's first satellite, was launched into orbit using a launch vehicle that was a descendant from the Redstone Rocket. This brought national attention to Huntsville, making it known as "The Rocket City". Since then, developments such as the Saturn rocket boosters, which were used by NASA in the Apollo Lunar Landing Program, have been completed in Huntsville. Many NASA-related activities continued into the 21st century. Come out and celebrate 56 years of NASA in The Rocket City! | aerospace |

The science fiction author, Arthur C. Clarke, has included the themes of interplanetary travel in many of his books. Song of the Distant Earth tells the tale of Earth has having been abandoned sometime ago. The first person to write of space travel as reality was Jules Verne, then came H.G. Wells of interplanetary space travel from Martians in The War of the Worlds. During the last forty years, Gene Roddenberry, pushed beyond the boundaries of interplanetary travel as an event and placed it as a mere routine journey to the stars.
If a spacecraft were traveling at 100 km per hour, it would close to sixty years to reach Mars, but rockets travel faster than 100 km per hour. Voyager probes traveled at 52,000 km per hour, but this speed would still require a great deal of time. Today's probes are being used to test the technologies needed for the future trip to an outer planet with experimenting in growing crops for food and the effects of living in space for longer periods of time.
For a Mars colony, it would be necessary to produce the fuel needed for the returning trip home. There was a suggestion of exporting a fuel manufacturing plant from Earth to the planet Mars. This would involve compressing carbon dioxide from Mars's atmosphere and combining it with hydrogen. The hydrogen would come from Earth, and the combining would create water and methane. The water would then be split to create hydrogen and oxygen. The methane and oxygen would be used as the fuel and oxygen needed for the return trip to Earth.
Growing crops is not only important as a food resource, but green is said to enhance mental well-being. Colonist would be dealing with many stressors and it is thought the green could lessen the stress. The Mir space station attempted growing crops, but for interplanetary travel, it would be a necessity to grow crops to supply people and animals with food and with oxygen to breathe. To be self-sufficient, colonists would need to recycle the atmosphere and plant, animal and human waste. This proves a huge difficulty.
The problem of mental health is being examined. Scientists need to discover how small groups of people would interact with one another when in isolation from others. In 1991 the Biosphere II was sealed with a group of people inside, who found the seclusion difficult. Unlike real space travelers, the crew inside the Biosphere II could asked to be let out. These eight crew members discovered, from 1991-1993 in Arizona, that living in Biosphere's artificial environment was hard.
NASA has a new, small type of spacecraft called deep space probes. It involves the testing of these new technologies that have never been used in space. DS1, Deep Space 1, launched in 1998. DS1 traveled to the asteroid 1992 KD with its self-guidance system and automated navigation. It tested solar cells and the new type of rocket called the ion drive. The ion drive is made of a gas of ions pulled toward a grid and then expelled at a high speed. This action results in the pushing the spacecraft into the opposite direction. It may be possible to reach speed ten times that of Voyager. But, it does not happen within an instant, it may require months to acquire this speed.
The initial stage of an interplanetary space probe will be placement in orbit around the Earth. The rockets will be fired by mission control, and the probe will be launched into an orbit around the Sun. The solar orbit has been carefully calculated to cross the orbit of a target planet. To place the probe into solar orbit, requires arriving at the same place and time of the planet.

Some of the raw materials found during asteroid extraction include: silver, gold, platinum, rhodium, nickel, aluminum, manganese, iron and cobalt (among others). Minerals and other materials extracted in space could be used in space as rocket propellant or as building materials.Furthermore, these materials can also be sent to Earth for use and sale. Currently, however, the cost of mining asteroids and transporting materials is prohibiting this practice. The techniques are still under development and potential mining sites are still being researched. The demand for asteroid extraction continues to grow as natural resources on Earth become increasingly scarce.
Choose asteroids for mines
One of the most important factors that scientists must determine is how to select the correct asteroid or minor planet for extraction. Travel time and speed change are two factors that play an important role in this decision. The asteroids closest to the Earth were selected for the first experimental extraction attempts. The materials extracted from these early asteroids will be used in space bases to reduce the cost of transporting objects into the Earth’s orbit.
The main types of asteroids 3 identified as potential mining sites include: Type C, type S, and M-type :
- Type C asteroids contain a high amount of water, which could help reduce the cost of a mining mission. These asteroids also have high levels of phosphorus and organic carbon, which are needed to produce fertilizers.
- Type S asteroids do not contain much water; however, they are more likely to have a wide variety of minerals for extraction. For example, a small asteroid can supply 1,433 million pounds of metal, such as nickel or cobalt, with 110 pounds of this precious metal, such as gold or platinum. This variety would help compensate for the increased cost of mining the asteroid.
- Type M asteroids are much more difficult to find, however, they retain 10 times the amount of metal found in an S type asteroid.
Regulation of mining of asteroids
As with all mining efforts (especially those of an international nature), there are some regulations that could help guide the management of asteroid mineral resources and safety issues. The United Nations Office for External Space Affairs has established five international space treaties and five declarations that help define the international space law. These legal documents address topics such as freedom to explore, arms control, liability for damage, rescue of astronauts, recording of space activities and conflict negotiations. The outer space is considered a neutral territory that does not belong to any specific country.
Both the Outer Space Treaty and the Moon Agreement deal with the problem of asteroid extraction. Both of these legal documents allow the extraction and private ownership of the extracted natural resources. Of these two treaties, the Outer Space Treaty is more widely accepted and agreed than the Moon Agreement. The Outer Space Treaty was promulgated in 1967 after a decade of international discussions among 100 countries. This document sets out the idea that space belongs to all humanity and that all countries have the right to explore and use materials from space as long as it benefits humanity. | aerospace |

- 05, December , 2022
NewsToday: Today is the 51st National Day of the UAE, and the central bank has produced a new 1000 dirham note to commemorate the event.
This message will be utilized on a regular basis beginning next year. The United Arab Emirates' new thousand dirham note honors the country's founder, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, while also showcasing the country's space program.
The letter includes an image of the country's first president, Sheikh Zayed, as well as a replica of the space shuttle and a photograph of the UAE's first astronaut, Major Huza Al Mansoori. The new currency note's design is inspired by Sheikh Zayed's historic meeting with NASA officials in 1976, during which Sheikh Zayed emphasized his resolve to establish the UAE in the global space race. It also depicts the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, a green energy plant.
After 46 years, the UAE is fast advancing in the space industry.Major Huza Al Mansoori became the first Emirati astronaut to fly to space in 2019. The UAE launched the Arab world's first Mars mission in February 2021. | aerospace |

Bellew was reportedly saying that MAS currently does not have enough seats to accommodate pilgrims from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and China for the rest of the year.
He also added, “Even though we have not started this new airline, it has already generated a huge amount of business for Malaysia Airlines,” according to a report by The Star. He expects to get the final approval from Khazanah by the end of this year and “we will go ahead and launch the airline.”
Bellew was speaking to a group of Malaysian journalists after viewing the A350 XWB pre-delivery aircraft at Airbus’ final assembly line. The aircraft offers long-range capability with lower operating cost compared with the A380s. “The cost of operating the A350 on our London flights should be about 40% lower compared with the A380. This will give us a greater ability to be profitable on the longer routes,” he said.
The aircraft, which features the widest seats of any jetliner in its category, will be leased on a 12-year basis.
Meanwhile, Bellew said Malaysia Airlines’ listing has been slated for 2019. But, he also said, listing may not be the only route as there is a trend for airlines to also look for trade partnerships with other carriers. That said, at the moment, MAS is not in any talks with other airlines for possible trade partnership. | aerospace |

Amelia Earhart Travel Quote: Adventure is worthwhile in itself
Amelia Mary Earhart was born in Atchison on July 24, 1937. She Disappeared on July 24, 1937, over the central Pacific Ocean during an attempt to become the first woman to fly around the world.
It wasn’t until she attended a stunt-flying exhibition, almost a decade later, that she became seriously interested in aviation. A pilot spotted Earhart and her friend, who were watching from an isolated clearing, and dove at them. “I am sure he said to himself, ‘Watch me make them scamper,’” she exclaimed. Earhart, who felt a mixture of fear and pleasure, stood her ground. As the plane swooped by, something inside her awakened. “I did not understand it at the time,” she admitted, “but I believe that little red aeroplane said something to me as it swished by.” On December 28, 1920, pilot Frank Hawks gave her a ride that would forever change her life. “By the time I had got two or three hundred feet off the ground, I knew I had to fly.”
Amelia Earhart is also known as Lady Lindy. Amelia Earhart was a pilot and a pioneer for women. Amelia was in the news for more than her flight because of her fashion. She was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, have numerous Aviation records and First woman to receive a National Geographic Society Gold Medal.
In addition; she was the first female to ever receive the Air force Distinguished Flying Cross. Amelia is also an author of many books like Fun of it and 20 hours 40 minutes. | aerospace |

This post is adapted from a press release:
On May 23rd entrepreneur Elon Musk's company SpaceX launched 60 Starlink communication satellites aboard a single rocket. Within days skywatchers worldwide spotted them flying in formation as they orbited Earth and reflected sunlight from their shiny metal surfaces.
SpaceX had suggested that the satellites would be visible just barely, if at all. But for a few days after launch the Starlink constellation shone as brightly as many astronomical constellations, and SpaceX intends to launch thousands more such spacecraft as part of an effort to provide internet service to everyone in the world. "I think it's commendable and very impressive engineering to spread the information and opportunities made possible by internet access," says Megan Donahue (Michigan State University), President of the American Astronomical Society (AAS), "but I, like many astronomers, am very worried about the future of these new bright satellites." The Starlink satellites and similar swarms being developed by other companies could eventually outnumber the stars visible in our night sky.
The American Astronomical Society notes with concern the impending deployment of very large constellations of satellites into Earth orbit. The number of such satellites is projected to grow into the tens of thousands over the next several years, creating the potential for substantial adverse impacts to ground- and space-based astronomy. These impacts could include significant disruption of optical and near-infrared observations by direct detection of satellites in reflected and emitted light; contamination of radio astronomical observations by electromagnetic radiation in satellite communication bands; and collision with space-based observatories.
The AAS recognizes that outer space is an increasingly available resource with many possible uses. However, the potential for multiple large satellite constellations to adversely affect both each other and the study of the cosmos is becoming increasingly apparent, both in low Earth orbit and beyond.
The AAS is actively working to assess the impacts on astronomy of large satellite constellations before their numbers rise further. Only with thorough and quantitative understanding can we properly assess the risks and identify appropriate mitigating actions. The AAS desires that this be a collaborative effort among its members, other scientific societies, and other space stakeholders including private companies. The AAS will support and facilitate the work by relevant parties to understand fully and minimize the impact of large satellite constellations on ground- and space-based astronomy.
"The natural night sky is a resource not just for astronomers but for all who look upward to understand and enjoy the splendor of the universe, and its degradation has many negative impacts beyond the astronomical," says Jeffrey C. Hall (Lowell Observatory), Chair of the AAS Committee on Light Pollution, Radio Interference, and Space Debris. "I appreciate the initial conversation we have already had with SpaceX, and I look forward to working with my AAS colleagues and with all stakeholders to understand and mitigate the effects of the rapidly increasing numbers of satellites in near-Earth orbit."
AAS President Donahue adds, "I'm looking forward to productive conversations between astronomers and SpaceX. I fully expect that we will come up with creative solutions that can serve as models for other companies to follow." | aerospace |

The drone is, obviously, a massive consideration but there are two things you need to think about before parting with your hard earned money.
If you take a step back and think about it, these two considerations are obvious but they are things most people seem to miss – make sure you’re not one of them……….
1. Availability of spares
Crashes, bangs and scrapes are all part and parcel of learning to fly a drone and you will experience many of these on your journey to being a competent drone pilot. You will not just crash your drone when learning to fly it, you will crash it many times. Trust me.
There is nothing worse than parting with your hard earned money on a drone, no matter how cheap it is, only to discover you can’t get hold of spare parts for it. There are loads of cheap drones out there, which is good, but you can’t buy spare parts for all of them, which is not so good. When I was looking for a learner drone I found several “potential” drones in local stores but when it came to getting spare parts there was nothing available!
Propellers take a real battering and often break or snap during a crash. Even if the propellers don’t break they often fly off the shaft after a crash and get lost. Spare propellers are essential and if you can’t get spare propellers the drone is going to end up in the bin very soon.
As well as propellers you are going to need loads of spare batteries (if you want to be able to fly the drone for longer than 10 minutes that is) and a multi charger to charge all the batteries.
2. Price of spares
The price of drone spares can vary quite a bit, and one thing I discovered was that cheap drones often have expensive spares. The learner drone on the top of my wish list was a Drocon model, but when I discovered spare batteries were £8.00 each and propellers were £0.90 each I soon changed my mind.
When you consider I managed to pick up 5 batteries and a multi charger for £9.99 and 60 propellers for £2.99, both including delivery, for the learner drone I ended up buying it is easy to see you need to take care when buying a learner drone to make sure you’re not ripped off with expensive, but essential, spares and accessories. | aerospace |

In a detailed report in the Nov. 4 edition of Aviation Week & Space Technology, Senior Editor Guy Norris lifts the wraps on the SR-72’s cutting-edge design, including a propulsion breakthrough that would allow the aircraft to fly twice as fast as the Blackbird — six times the speed of sound — but still take off from and land on a runway like a conventional aircraft. Lockheed Martin and partner Aerojet-Rocketdyne have been working in secret for seven years on the concept, which centers on integrating an off-the-shelf turbine with a scramjet to power the aircraft from standstill to Mach 6.
To which I say: AWW YEAH!
It remains to be seen if they can actually get the funding to build this thing. According to the linked article, LockMart has done about all they can do without securing a contract to start cutting metal. Or baking plastic. Whatev…
Now if past history is any indicator, this story could just as easily be a red herring and they’re much further along than indicated. The U-2, SR-71, and F-117 had all been flying for several years before there was any public acknowledgment of their existence.
They also seem to believe we’re at the end of the road for low-observable technology, so “speed is the new stealth.”
There were a lot of rumors about stealth development back in the ’80s and a great deal of speculation as to what a “stealth fighter” might look like. Anybody remember this?
But as is often the case, fantasy looked a lot better than reality:
The F-117s became public knowledge after a couple of CFIT (controlled flight into terrain) accidents in the late ’80s. At the time, I remember it being reported that they were part of a test and evaluation squadron of 50 to 60 aircraft. And that’s when I knew they were operational: 50-odd aircraft isn’t a squadron, it’s an air group. Nobody buys that many airplanes for “test and eval.”
My hope (and that’s all it is, blind hope) is that LockMart’s tossing this out there as cover for a more mature program. The real breakthrough for this is the turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) propulsion, in which a jet turbine and ramjet share common inlets and exhaust. That’s not as simple as it sounds, thanks to the complexities of managing the shockwaves that want to bounce around inside the inlets and the rapidly rising temperatures as it passes Mach 3. Jet engines don’t generally take well to superheated air, and cooling that hot air rapidly enough to feed the compressor stage without icing up at the same time is a real trick. This is the same phenomenon that Reaction Engines UK has been working on for the SABRE rocket-based combined cycle engine. They’ve likewise claimed a major breakthrough recently, but whatever the Skunk Works came up with for heat exchangers, they’re keeping it close.
As to this fantastic machine being flown by an actual person? Sounds like that ship has sailed:
The path to the SR-72 would begin with an optionally piloted flight research vehicle (FRV), measuring around 60 ft. long and powered by a single, but full-scale, propulsion flowpath. “The demonstrator is about the size of the F-22, single-engined and could fly for several minutes at Mach 6,” says Leland. The outline plan for the operational vehicle, the SR-72, is a twin-engine unmanned aircraft over 100 ft. long…
There’s a lot of talk that the next generation of fighters will be essentially be flown by gamers sitting in an air-conditioned van. I can only imagine how the current crop of up-and-coming military pilots feel about that. Even though I’d never have a snowball’s chance in hell of flying it, a part of me shares in their presumed impotent frustration. If I ever have the privilege of seeing such an aircraft in service, it’ll be a lot less exciting knowing that there isn’t someone inside of it experiencing the ride of a lifetime.
2 Replies to “Skunked”
I would love for this to be real… But it seems like all the really cool tech is leaving the government behind and going to a much smaller scale in private sector. My read on the “SR-72” is that it’s still vapor, and “pretty, pretty please give us money?” Unfortunately, it feels like we’re beyond engineers and well into committees designing everything – something that’s patently obvious in the Navy’s (and Air Force’s) latest acquisitions. Spec growth and politics are killing initiative and purpose-built systems.
Kind of my thoughts as well. The SR-72 really needs to happen (preferably with an actual *pilot* aboard) if only to advance the technology.
Our government as a whole has gotten too big to accomplish much anymore. It’s all about perpetuating the bureaucracy. | aerospace |

The pilot of a small plane was killed Monday afternoon when his plane crashed just outside North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines Monday afternoon.
No one else was on board and no other injuries were reported.
Witnesses said the plane banked to the left and crashed nose-first into the ground moments after taking off.
The pilot experienced engine trouble moments after takeoff, said an airport spokesman. The fuselage landed next to a tennis court, then exploded into a ball of fire. Douglas Pohl, a doctor from Jupiter,was piloting a plane when it crashed in Pembroke Pines on Monday.
Officials said the plane is registered to Douglas Pohl from Jupiter, and have confirmed that Pohl was piloting the plane when it crashed.

Date: May 3rd 2000
On 3rd May 2000, Gaza International Airport was closed for all air traffic into and out of Gaza. The closure took place after an Air Maroc plane attempted to fly on a flight route called El Nadl after authorisation from the Egyptian Air Traffic Control Service to do so. The Israeli Military Airport located in the Negev desert rejected his clearance. Accordingly, the Air Maroc plane was forced to return back to Cairo airport.
It is worth mentioning that when Gaza International Airport was inaugurated on 22 November 1998, an agreement was concluded between the Egyptian Government, the Israeli Government and the Palestinian National Authorities ( PNA ), regulating flight paths into and out of Gaza International Airport. The agreement was affirmed by the ICAO ( International Civil Aviation Organisation). Lately, the Egyptian Authorities have been trying to modify flight paths in order to improve flight times and air safety, but the Israeli Military Authorities are withholding cooperation and coordination.
According to the information gathered by PCHR field workers, a temporary deal was concluded on the morning of 3rd May with the Israeli Authorities allowing flights to resume from Gaza International Airport. Despite the deal, the Israeli Authorities at 11:00 am prevented planes from landing in Gaza International Airport and forced them back to Cairo Airport. Gaza International Airport remains closed.
PCHR condemns the attempts by the Israeli Authorities to control the free movements of Palestinian citizens whether in the sky, by sea or by land.
Furthermore, PCHR calls upon the International Community to intervene in order to stop Israel’s violations of Palestinian human rights. | aerospace |

The policy paper, Public-Private Partnerships: Stimulating Innovation in the Space Sector, outlines a phased approach for strategizing, planning, and implementing such collaborative arrangements for space-based services and how to optimize the best outcome for all.
“Governments seeking to provide satellite communications, navigation, Earth monitoring, space exploration, and other space applications recognize the significant role that the private sector can play in delivering these capabilities at reduced cost and risk,” said author Karen Jones, senior project leader with CSPS. “By leveraging commercial efficiencies and innovation these public-private partnerships can provide significant advantages to government agencies while sharing risk in exchange for profits linked to performance.”
The paper provides numerous case studies and delineates lessons learned from different public-private partnerships in the U.S. and abroad —some successful, and others less so. These lessons include reviewing the business model, creating a shared vision, dealing with changing needs, fostering competition, motivating profit-based organizations, building long-term alliances, establishing payment schedules, and sharing data.
Dr. Jamie Morin, executive director for CSPS, said, “There is no single recipe for success, and these partnerships are not appropriate for all programs and objectives in the space domain. Still, for those projects that can apply them, public-private partnerships offer potential advantages in terms of delivery schedules, quality of service, and innovation.”
Jones suggests that an ideal partnership involves a delicate balance, where the government does not give up too much control and the private sector does not assume too much risk. Moreover, any such arrangement must abide by the guiding principles of neutrality, transparency, accountability, and governance.

Well, this idea might not be as far-fetched as we think.
Scientists have recently discovered a promising place that may have water where life could exist: Jupiter’s moon Europa.
A recent study published in Nature Communications proclaimed that Jupiter’s moon Europa might be a prime candidate for habitability in our solar system. It means life may occur outside Earth.
Europa, also known as Jupiter II, is the smallest Galilean moon out of the four orbiting Jupiter. Galilean moons are the original largest ones discovered by Galileo Galilei around 1609 and include Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is also the sixth-closest moon to Jupiter out of all the planet’s 79 known moons, and the sixth-largest moon in our solar system.
Europa’s surface is covered with an ice crust measuring 15 miles or 20 kilometers thick and is marked (looks like scars) with crisscrossing giant double ridges, or pairs of parallel raised lines. These double ridges have crests (about 305 meters high) with broad valleys. The most amazing part is that beneath Europa’s thick icy shell exists a saltwater ocean, which is estimated to be 40 to 100 miles deep!
For more than 20 years, scientists have been studying this moon’s icy surface. Now, evidence from an analysis of satellite images revealed that Europa’s double ridges are impressively similar to the double-ridge feature discovered in Northwest Greenland’s ice sheet. They used ice-penetrating radar observations and surface elevation to observe this uncanny resemblance between the two icy sheets.
The recent discovery led the scientists to question whether Europa’s double ridges were also formed similarly to Greenland’s ridges. This process happens when the subsurface water is pushed upwards, which fractures the surface and freezes over and over again. The upsurge of water is what pushes the ridges on the surface. The upsurge’s pressure is similar to when a soda can explodes after being put in the freezer for a long time.
If the theory is correct, it would mean Europa might also have water pockets, which are a key ingredient in helping chemicals essential for life to circulate in the moon’s ocean.
Finding these promising water pockets will be one of the important future explorations for Jupiter’s moon Europa.
NASA will conduct a mission called Europa Clipper to uncover the mysteries of this Jovian moon. It will investigate further how the double ridges are formed, look for the important water pockets, and collect data on the thickness of Europa’s icy crust. The Europa Clipper spacecraft will use ice-penetrating radar for the mission.
NASA’s Europa Clipper will also explore the possibility of Europa’s conditions being suitable for life. This mission is expected to launch in October 2024.
Another upcoming mission called the European Space Agency’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) will also head for Europa, which is planned to launch in 2023. It will make detailed observations of the planet Jupiter and its three largest moons, Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede.

Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course
Weapons and Tactics Instructor Course, commonly known as WTI, is a twice-annual USMC training program conducted at MCAS Yuma. Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One (MAWTS–1) conducts this training to provide realistic combat experiences for USMC aviators and their support groups. This training is a combination of classroom and field training aimed at providing the closest experience to real combat strategy, tactics, and execution. Simply put, after putting in some classroom time and planning strategies, USMC aviators, and their support teams, get to “blow stuff up”.
WTI 1-14, was the first WTI exercise of the new fiscal year. I had an opportunity to spend some time outside MCAS in in an attempt to photograph aircraft as they departed and arrived at MCAS Yuma. This season’s WTI had a lot of rotary aircraft participating. AH-1’s, UH-1’s, CH-53’s, and MV-22’s were commonplace. Fixed-wing aircraft included: F/A-18’s, EA-6’s, AV-8’s, F-5’s and C-130’s. Some private contractors were hired to provide support and adversary aircraft. These aircraft included: a pair of Alpha Jets, a pair of Hawker Hunters, an L-39, and a Mi-24 Hind. Local non-WTI traffic includes F-35B’s. Other traffic included CH-46’s.
MCAS Yuma is a fairly photographer-friendly place provided photographers are respectful and do not aim their lens towards the base. The quality of the photography taken at MCAS, like many bases, is very sensitive to the position of the sun. Midday shooting can be challenging with the harsh desert sun. The best time to shoot is after 3pm, and, fortunately, during WTI, there is a lot of activity in the late afternoon.
The next WTI will, most likely, be sometime in April 2014. I encourage all aviation photographers to take advantage of the opportunity to see a substantial volume of military aircraft flying. I was disappointed at the low number of American aviation photographers present during WTI. There were many foreign photographers there that make it a point to come out during WTI to catch the action regularly. Globally, these are tough times for military aviation photographers. Budgets, or a lack thereof, have reduced the number of hours being flown substantially in many countries. WTI provides an opportunity for aviation photographers to see a decent variety of aircraft, flying at a steady volume. For me, it was a great experience.

Steve..All I can say is wow!!! You must have good spotting with Yannick for the WTI…. with that kind of traffic I need to be there next year…. DaveC
Welcome aboard Steve! Told you Dave, Steve always comes up with superb stuff. Makes me wanna move to AZ, lol. Hey theres a thought, might look into that, i kinda liked Phoenix while i was there. AWesome stuff bud.
I second Bryan’s welcome aboard, Steve. Good informative article backed up with great images. Looks like you pretty much saw every airframe the USMC flies, plus the addition of ATACs Hunter. Guess he was flying “Red Air”. Nice catch on that.
I look forward to many more of your blogs and pics.
PS: Sure wish we had those beautiful dry skies to shoot in around the Houston area, LOL.
Thank you guys! I will try to cover as much of Arizona military aviation as I can. I recently had surgery, so the recovery period is going to slow me down quite a bit. I am looking forward to visiting Texas in the near future and meeting all of you!
Welcome bud! Take care, its the recovery time after surgery thats always the hardest part, lol. You and bill need to plan a trip up here to one day. Better yet, you have a lot more down there, we all need to plan a trip down to AZ.
Yup! Keep us posted of big happenings in AZ ! maybe we can all plan a trip to your side Steve.

The history of all countries owes much to the publication in January, 1839 of the two primary photographic processes that produced ‘permanent’ positives. Three years later in 1842, Browning’s poem used here was first published.
Prior to 1839, drawings and paintings had to convey depictions of earlier life in all its complexities. Today, museums, archives, schools, newspapers, books, magazines, and even movies all benefit from the ongoing discoveries and improvements to photography.
Smaller countries like Canada are no exception in their histories benefitting from photography. For example, take a look at an article in the June 30, 2021 issue of “The Vox Air“, a publication of the 17th Wing of the Canadian Air Force (CAF) based in Manitoba. On page seven, an article titled ‘“Birthplace of the Air Force in Manitoba” RCAF and Yacht Club Commemorate 1921 Opening of Victoria Beach Air Station‘ announces the beginning of the Victoria Beach Air Station, which opened April, 1921 on Lake Winnipeg, a few miles north east of the city of Winnipeg.
One photograph, shown above, depicts the Curtiss HS-2L flying amphibian aircraft initially built for the American Navy. This photograph is dated July 1, 1921 and shows the first HS-2L (being pulled into the lake by horses) ready to fly for the precursor to the our Air Force – the Air Board’. All aircraft of that time were ‘flying boats’ – wheels and skiis came later. The base, opened in April, 1921, operated until 1926 when it was relocated to a new Manitoba location at Lac du Bonnet.
The article uses both text and photographs to celebrate the Station’s centennial anniversary and its first launching of an aircraft after it was pulled into the lake by horses. Imagine how long it would take to describe this activity using words alone! The publication is bursting with photographs, both modern images in colour and historic ones in monochrome.
My thanks to George Dunbar, good friend, PHSC member, and photographic historian for suggesting the above link and photograph.
Note: the title of this post is from Robert Browning‘s 1842 poem of the same name. | aerospace |
https://www.bls.gov/ooh/transportation-and-material-moving/air-traffic-controllers.htm | 2024-04-22T15:26:21 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818312.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422144517-20240422174517-00445.warc.gz | 0.941137 | 863 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__135955633 | en | How to Become an Air Traffic Controller
As they gain experience, air traffic controllers move to positions in the control room that have more responsibility.
There are several different paths to becoming an air traffic controller. Candidates typically need an associate's or bachelor’s degree through a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) program, several years of progressively responsible work experience, or a combination of education and experience.
In addition, prospective air traffic controllers must be U.S. citizens and must pass a medical evaluation, background check, and FAA preemployment tests, including the Air Traffic Controller Specialists Skills Assessment Battery (ATSA). They also must complete a training course at the FAA Academy and apply before the FAA's age cutoff.
Once hired, controllers typically complete on-the-job training that lasts more than 12 months. They also must pass a physical exam each year, a job performance exam twice a year, and periodic drug screenings.
Air traffic controllers typically need an associate's or a bachelor's degree. To qualify with an associate's degree, candidates must complete their studies in an AT-CTI program. A bachelor's degree may be in any field, including transportation, business, or engineering.
The FAA sets guidelines for schools that offer the AT-CTI program. AT-CTI schools offer 2- or 4-year degrees that are designed to prepare students for a career in air traffic control. The curriculum is not standardized, but courses focus on subjects that are fundamental to aviation, including airspace, clearances, chart reading, and federal regulations.
Most newly hired air traffic controllers are trained at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City. The length of training varies with the candidate’s background. Candidates must apply before the FAA's age cutoff.
After graduating from the Academy, trainees are assigned to an air traffic control facility as developmental controllers until they complete requirements for becoming a certified air traffic controller. Developmental controllers begin their careers by supplying pilots with basic flight data and airport information. They then may advance to positions within the control room that have more responsibility.
With additional training, controllers may switch from one area of specialization to another. For example, a controller may complete training to transfer from working in an en route center to an airport tower.
Air traffic controllers sometimes qualify through work experience instead of a degree. Candidates either need up to 3 years of progressively responsible generalized work experience that demonstrates the potential for learning and performing air traffic control work or must have specialized work experience in a military or civilian air traffic control facility.
Air traffic controllers who learn their skills in the military are eligible to become civilian air traffic controllers even if their age exceeds the FAA cutoff for applicants.
Licenses, Certifications, and Registrations
All air traffic controllers must hold an Air Traffic Control Tower Operator Certificate or be appropriately qualified and supervised as stated in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 65.
Communication skills. Air traffic controllers must be able to give clear, concise instructions, listen carefully to pilots’ requests, and respond by speaking clearly in English.
Decision-making skills. Controllers must make quick decisions. For example, when a pilot requests a change of altitude to avoid poor weather, the controller must respond quickly to ensure the aircraft’s safety.
Detail oriented. Controllers must be able to concentrate while multiple conversations occur at once. For example, in a large airport tower, several controllers may be speaking with different pilots at the same time.
Math skills. Controllers must be able to do arithmetic accurately and quickly. They often need to compute speeds, times, and distances, and they recommend heading and altitude changes.
Organizational skills. Controllers must be able to coordinate the actions of multiple flights and to prioritize tasks, because they may be required to guide several pilots at the same time.
Problem-solving skills. Controllers must be able to understand complex situations, review changing circumstances, and provide pilots with appropriate alternatives.
Teamwork. Controllers must be able to work as members of a team, cooperating with and assisting others in and around their area of responsibility. | aerospace |

Through collaborative programs with United States and European partners, Taiwan launched the FORMOSAT series of Earth observation satellites. FORMOSAT-1, FORMOSAT-2 and FORMOSAT-3 were launched in 1999, 2004 and 2006 respectively. Moreover, NSPO is planning additional FORMOSAT-5 and FORMOSAT-7 missions which are intended to be significantly developed using domestic capabilities. Other NSPO space technology activities include the YAMSAT small satellites program; Taiwan-Russia ESEMS collaborative satellite development project, and; part of the 16-nation AMS-02 experiment conducted aboard the International Space Station. Taiwanese space activities furthermore include a vibrant indigenous suborbital sounding rocket program based on the Sky Bow II surface–to-air missile. The space agency is also developing the Taiwan Space Launch Vehicle (SLV) which is capable of placing a 50 kg payload in a 500 – 700 km orbit. Taiwan applies space technology in space science and upper atmosphere research, national security, urban land utilization monitoring, environment planning, farm crop and forest monitoring, disaster management, tourism and travel etc.
Unlike the case in the previously explored cases; a clear, consolidated and broad national framework governing space technology is somewhat absent in Thailand. Nonetheless, Thailand has remarkably embraced aspects of space technology pertinent to her immediate national developmental objectives. Space technology activities are heavily biased towards Geo-informatics applications and are spearheaded by the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA) established in 2000. This public entity boasts a rich heritage in remote sensing dating back to 1971. Its main objective is to enhance the utilization of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) for national development. To this end, Thailand acquired its first Earth observation satellite christened Thailand Earth Observation System (THEOS) in 2008. Prior to THEOS, the country had been involved in commercial satellite sector since 1997 offering telecommunication services through the THAICOM series of satellites. Space technology in Thailand has been applied in television broadcast, telecommunication, natural resource management, natural disaster planning and mitigation etc.
The government established the Vietnam Space Technology Institute (STI) under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology in 2006 to foster indigenous competence space science and technology. The country was motivated to utilize space technology in national defense and security, the population’s socioeconomic development, and improving quality of life. Vietnamese STI concentrates on space technology initiatives that cultivate indigenous technical expertise, and the supporting research and manufacturing infrastructure. Vietnam acquired its first commercial telecommunication satellite—VINASAT-1 from the United States and it was launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2008. The country has ratified numerous bilateral and multilateral agreements with established players to collaborate in space science and technology initiatives. Presently domestic satellite development is restricted to university-led small satellite projects while the country plans to acquire its first two earth observation satellites and a second telecommunication satellite. Vietnam applies space technology in environmental and resources management, marine and coastal resources management, navigation, territorial planning etc.
Despite the presence of a national space agency being a ubiquitous phenomenon among nations with a consolidated approach to space technology, Turkey does not have a designated space agency. However, the country is squarely on the forefront among nations that have successfully cultivated a nascent indigenous space technology capability. Consequently, space technology initiatives in Turkey are led by the publicly funded Space Technologies Research Institute (TÜBİTAK UZAY), which was founded in 1985. The institute conducts research and development of space-based technology to guide, enrich and buttress the domestic space technology sector. This is undertaken in line with national research priorities in space technology, information communication technology and electronics. In addition to acquiring a series of commercial Turksat communication satellites, Turkey’s first earth observation satellite—BILSAT-1 was a technology-transfer, collaborative effort with UK partners. BILSAT-1 was launched in 2003 aboard a Russian launch vehicle as part of the disaster-monitoring constellation with Nigeria and Algeria. RASAT was Turkey’s first indigenous developed remote sensing satellite and was launched by Russia in 2011. Additional satellites have been planned and the country plans to establish a national space agency. Turkey applies space technology in disaster monitoring, mapping, environment monitoring, urban and regional planning etc.
Ecuador’s case presents a relatively uncharacteristic approach and motivation for an inchoate space-based technology initiative. The space program in Ecuador is administered and executed by the Ecuadorian Civilian Space Agency (EXA) which is a civilian non-profit NGO. EXA is chiefly financed through private funding. Its primary objective is to promote and inspire the development of science in the country’s educational system—hence foster national scientific and technological development. The agency was established in 2007 owing to the notable exertions of Ronnie Nader Bello who is also the country first certified astronaut. Unlike other nascent entrants into the space field, the Ecuadorian space program has placed considerable emphasis on suborbital human spaceflights that conduct various scientific experiments. Furthermore, the first indigenous small satellite named NEE-01 Pegasus is scheduled to be launched in 2013. The Ecuadorian space agency has also pioneered unique educational and outreach program that are geared towards inspiring science and technology in the educational curriculum. For instance, the “Internet-to-Orbit gateway” and the “Satellite in the Classroom” project provides real-time data from earth observation satellites to connected classrooms. Space technology in the country is applied in space science research, national inspiration and pride etc.
Iran’s interest in space can be traced back to 1958 when it was among the 18 founding members of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space. Since the early 1970’s, Iran has cultivated a notable legacy in direct reception, processing and utilization of remote sensing data and imagery. The Iranian Space Agency (ISA) was established in 2003 to consolidate and spearhead all space technology initiatives in the country. Iran has pursued and successfully nurtured an indigenous technical capability in spacecraft and launch vehicle development. This has been largely due to the international political and economic sanctions that have doggedly beleaguered the country. The first Iranian satellite—Sinai-1 was acquired from and launched into orbit by Russia in 2003. In 2009, Iran achieved two remarkable feats; it domestically developed a satellite—Omid, then proceeded to place it in a designated orbit using a likewise indigenous launch vehicle—Safir. In doing so, Iran became only the ninth country to domestically possess space launch capability (see the section on “Space Missions”). A more capable launch vehicle is currently in development under the Simorgh rocket program. In addition to a successful launch by the Safir rocket of the second indigenous satellite called Rasad-1, Iran has domestically developed a motley of satellites that it intends to launch. Space technology in the country is propped by a vibrant and capable domestic space sector twinned with external partners mainly in Russia, China and North Korea. Iran applies space technology in telecommunications, television broadcasting, meteorology, geology, marine and coastal management, cartography, environmental management, geographic information systems, agriculture development, forestry etc.
This list of space technology application in industrially developing countries is by no means exhaustive. A couple more illustrative cases with comparable economies to Kenya’s were merely selected to further provoke the argument for entrenching space technology for sustainable development in Kenya. It is worthy to mention that additional sources listing different country’s space agencies and space programs do exist.
Though not discussed, Pakistan’s approach to space technology for national development can indeed offer Kenya valuable lessons. In some countries like North Korea, Israel and Iran, pursuit of space technology is deeply in vested in national security and defense interests. Notably, just a few days ago North Korea joined the exclusive club of countries with launch capability.
In the next post, I shall strive to extricate lessons that Kenya can learn from India, Brazil and the other industrializing countries that we have previously highlighted. | aerospace |

This was the time and distance of the Wright Flyer’s maiden voyage on December 17, 1903 at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina—four miles north of Kitty Hawk. Orville Wright was the pilot during that incredible blink of an eye when man learned how to fly. His brother, Wilbur, ran at wingtip.
The Wright brothers flew several more times that day. The fourth and final attempt, with Wilbur at the helm, lasted fifty-nine seconds and traveled 852 feet. It may not sound impressive by modern standards. Yet in the early twentieth century, the fact that a human being—a wingless, grounded creature—soared in the air for nearly a minute changed our lives and intensified our dreams and ambitions forever.

Asteroid 2020 RF3 flew within one lunar distance – the distance between the Earth and the Moon – making it the 61st asteroid to do so this year. Astronomers only discovered the asteroid on September 12, 2020, shortly before it made its close approach last night.
The space rock, which was found by astronomers using the PAN-STARRS telescope in Hawaii, came within just 0.24 lunar distances, or 92,000 kilometres, of Earth.
Asteroid RF3 is a small space rock with an estimated diameter between 5.3 and 12 metres.
The asteroid belongs to the Aten group of space rocks, which are asteroids which have an orbit with a close proximity to Earth.
According to NASA, there are more than 1,100 Aten asteroids in the solar system.

From data gathered by the Hubble Telescopeand Kepler Space Probe we have confirmed 1000’s of potential planets suitable for life, the closest of them lie 4.22 light years away The Alpha Centauri but the fastest of rockets will take millions of years to reach there, obviously we cannot wait that long.
But scientists have something which can serve as a possible solution known as the Warp Drive.
What is Warp Drive?
Based on the Al-Cubierre’s equation it is theoretically possible to travel thousands of times faster than the speed of light. A speed at which we can unlock the hidden mysteries of this scary universe and finally find a way to travel beyond our own Solar System.
How fast will it take to reach another Star
It will take only 7.7 hours to reach our closest star the Alpha Centauri at a Warp factor 7.
How does it actually work?
Al-Cubierre’s equation explains space as a fabric which can be contacted and expanded, so it will actually be the space taking the objects to far off distances unlike anything we have ever travelled before, NASA is currently working to apply these theoretical concepts and turning it to an invention that will upside the known ways of traveling in space. | aerospace |

It will be the first launch of the Space Launch System, which they plan to use for non-commercial human spaceflight.
It is the centerpiece of the Artemis program, a new mission to land on the moon. During this first launch, however, only the liquid-fueled engines in the rocket’s core will be tested, without the solid-fuel boosters that will one day propel the SLS into orbit.
At 98 meters tall, the SLS is a head shorter than the 10-meter Saturn V rockets that took astronauts to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s. But this rocket is much more powerful, giving 15 percent more thrust on takeoff and ascent. The SLS will be able to deliver more than 27 tons of cargo to the moon, far more than the 24 tons on the powerful space shuttles. | aerospace |

NASA’s Artemis I mission to deep space and back is coming to an end as the uncrewed Orion spacecraft passed the moon on Monday morning, embarking on the final leg of its journey.
Orion will continue to push back and pull completely out of the moon’s gravitational pull on Tuesday. The return from the coast to Earth will take about six days. Ignited at speeds of up to 25,000 mph, Orion is set to pierce Earth’s atmosphere on Sunday, December 11.
Orion’s atmospheric re-entry will push its heat shield and parachute-assisted landing system capabilities to the limit as Orion returns from lunar orbit for the first time. A subsequent landfall is scheduled for 12:42 p.m. ET in the Pacific Ocean off the California coast, concluding the 26-day demonstration mission.
A motorized lunar flyby
Having traveled farther from Earth than any other human-sized spacecraft earlier in its mission, Orion approached the moon on Monday while flying over the landing sites of NASA’s Apollo 12 and 14 missions. At the time, Orion was about 6,000 miles above the lunar surface.
NASA flight director Zebulon Scoville told reporters on Thursday it was “a tip of the hat and a historic nod to the past” because Orion would be too far away to capture detailed images of the landing sites. .
NASA spokeswoman Sandra Jones said Monday, “The next time we see a view like this, we’ll hear about it from a crew perspective during Artemis II.”
Orion’s Orbital Maneuvering System engine ignited at 11:43 a.m. ET Monday for about 3.5 minutes to complete the last of four major burns to complete the return powered flyby of the moon.
The maneuver knocked Orion to the far side of the moon, bringing him less than 80 miles above the lunar surface. The movement allowed the spacecraft to harness the moon’s gravitational pull and chart a course to Earth.
During Monday’s live stream, Nujoud Merancy, NASA’s exploration mission planning chief, said: “This is really our deorbit burn. We are performing a major maneuver that targets our entry in six days. .”
As Orion swayed behind the moon, NASA lost its ability to communicate with the spacecraft for an expected signal loss period of approximately 40 minutes. Shortly after Orion emerged from behind the moon, the signal was restored as expected.
Coincidentally, Monday’s return powered flyby took place exactly eight years after NASA’s first uncrewed Orion test flight, Exploration Flight Test-1. This mission launched aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on December 5, 2014. The Orion crew module circled the Earth twice before landing crash during this test flight.

Orion Recovery Preparation
Over the weekend, according to a NASA blog post, joint NASA and US Navy Exploration Ground Systems program teams completed a final day of at-sea recovery trials in the Pacific Ocean with “A dummy in-water capsule for divers and small boats to practice recovery procedures in open water.
Orion will lose speed during a new reentry approach called the jump reentry technique. It is designed to leap Orion through the highest peaks of Earth’s atmosphere once before renting it. This helps slow Orion down and avoid the extreme g-forces of a direct re-entry. It also allows for a smoother and safer ride for the spacecraft and its future astronaut crews.
According to a statement from NASA, “jump entry ultimately allows the spacecraft to land accurately and consistently at the same landing site, regardless of when and where it returns from the moon. “.
When Orion returns to the atmosphere after its jump, the spacecraft will slow to around 300 mph to deploy its parachutes. Orion will then slow to about 20 mph just before landing.
Orion is expected to crash about 50 miles off San Diego, California on Sunday. In anticipation, the joint recovery team will deploy to positions in the Pacific Ocean this week.

Satellite imagery, which was shared by ImageSatIntel (iSi) on Twitter, shows the S-400 battery components in an operational configuration on the airfield tarmac. According to iSi’s analysis, three tractor erector launchers (TELs) are deployed erected, but unarmed, near the S-400’s 92N63 “Gravestone” engagement radar. The 96L6E “Cheese board” early warning and acquisition radar is located less than 100 meters south near an auxiliary vehicle parking area. The S-400’s second 91N6E “Big Bird” acquisition radar was spotted further south.
— ImageSat Intl. (@ImageSatIntl) September 3, 2019
The first S-400 battalion set was delivered to Turkey on Friday, July 12, 2019. Russian heavy lifters transported the air defense components directly to Mürted Akinci, an airfield 35 km northwest of Ankara. The rest of Ankara’s 2.5 billion order will be shipped in three installments until the end of the year. The S-400 will likely be permanently stationed near Ankara to provide long-range area air defense for Turkey’s capital.
What’s the deal with the S-400?
Despite harsh criticism on the part of NATO, Turkey went through with the controversial S-400 purchase from Russia. In response, the United States removed Turkish defense companies from the Joint Strike Fighter program and halted the sale of the F-35 to Ankara. The NATO allies fear that the S-400’s radars may register the F-35’s very low observable (VLO) radar cross section, if Turkey is allowed to field both systems. Russia could then collect this critical intelligence through clandestine means such as malware.
At the moment, Turkey is seriously considering Russian fighter jets as an alternative to the F-35. Last weekend, Turkish President Erdogan met his Russian counterpart at MAKS, an aerospace technology exhibition near Moscow. The two presidents inspected Sukhoi’s recent export-version of the Su-57 stealth multirole fighter (Su-57E).

One of my favourites is The Parallax View, but I also like Capricorn One, which I’ve just watched again, after such a long gap that I’d forgotten most of the detail of the story.
The idea is very appealing. NASA is about to send a rocket to Mars for a manned landing. But just before take-off, the astronauts are taken away to a secret hideaway, although the rocket goes off into space and the watching world is led to believe that the astronauts are on board. The explanation is that, due to an equipment malfunction, the trip became unsafe, but the authorities (led by the apparently pleasant but in truth fanatical Hal Holbrook) are determined to fake a landing on the Red Planet.
Elliot Gould plays a reporter who gets wind that something is amiss with Capricorn One, and although there are various (rather sporadic, I have to say) attempts to silence him, he pursues the truth against the odds. Meanwhile, the hoax goes wrong when the rocket crashes on its return to Earth – so the astronauts (with James Brolin to the fore) have to be dispensed with. They escape, but only into the unforgiving desert.
The action sequences in the film are terrific, and Peter Hyams, the director, ensures the story moves along with gusto, so that one is inclined to forgive most if not all of the implausibilities in the plot – after all, how many thrillers are totally plausible in every respect?
One bit of trivia that intrigued me – the two stars, Gould and Brolin, have both been married to Barbra Streisand. | aerospace |

Modern drones allow you to get amazing aerial photos of things like beaches, cityscapes, and even large family gatherings. But, do you need a license to fly a drone in Florida?
In Florida, recreational drone flyers don’t need a license but must pass a free online safety test (TRUST); commercial drone flyers must get a certificate (Part 107) from the Federal Aviation Administration. In addition, if your drone weighs more than 249 grams, you must register it.
So, where can you fly drones? Are they allowed in Florida state parks, residential neighborhoods, or on the beach? Can you operate your drone at night? What if you live near an airport? As you continue reading, you will discover the answers to these drone questions and more.
Unmanned Aerial Friends
When thinking about drones, you might think of giant, expensive, crazy drones, like the Predator drones used by the military or the huge camera drones used by professional sports broadcasters. But the miracles of modern technology have enabled drones to shrink. As a result, drones nowadays can weigh less than a pound and can cost less than $500! But despite their growing popularity, drones are still something of a mystery to many of us.
In the United States, aircraft operations are governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). By their nature, airspace and air travel are challenging for local authorities to manage. While local authorities can impose restrictions on some types of aircraft operations, the FAA is the primary regulatory authority for operating any kind of flying machine in the United States. As such, drones are regulated by the FAA.
In a departure from the traditionally byzantine and glacial nature of the federal government, the FAA has recognized that drones are becoming more popular with the general public and responded in a relatively reasonable way. Most importantly to us, the FAA distinguishes between recreational and commercial drone operators.
A recreational drone operator is someone who flies their drone solely for the fun of it. Any other purpose – inspecting a roof, taking pictures to sell your house, taking footage or photos for a sports team or a non-profit, or even participating in a search-and-rescue operation – is considered commercial use by the FAA and requires drone operators to have a certificate under Part 107.
These rules may seem stringent, and unfortunately, the FAA is not usually known for its flexibility and understanding. Even if you’re looking at your roof for your own edification, helping out a neighbor, or selling your house independent of a realtor, the FAA would likely consider these activities “commercial use.” Check with your local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) if you’re not sure.
If you decide to get your Part 107 certificate, you’ll need to know basic principles of airspace and airmanship, basic rules and regulations, and some minor science and meteorology. The exam costs $175. The exam might sound a little scary, but it is well within the average person’s capabilities to get their Part 107 certificate.
Either way, you must follow basic safety rules and respect the privacy of others.
If you fly for fun and fun only, you do not need a license to operate a drone. You do, however, need to do the following things:
- Obtain a TRUST certificate. Getting the certificate is a completely free process that requires you to take a quick online test. The FAA has a list of sites where you can get your free certificate. You should keep your certificate on you in case an FAA agent or law enforcement officer wants to see it.
- If your drone weighs in at more than 0.55 pounds (249 grams), it must be registered. Registration requires a $5 fee and is valid for three years.
- In the unlikely event that your drone weighs more than 55 pounds, it must be registered using a paper process and will need to have an N-number or a tail number, like a regular airplane.

Drone Safety Guidelines for Recreational Flyers
If you want to fly your drone for fun, you should follow some basic safety rules.
- If flying in controlled airspace, obtain authorization using LAANC (Low-Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability) or Drone Zone. You can do this via an app on your smartphone. Note: you can see what kind of airspace you’re in for free with services like Skyvector. If the map seems confusing, spending a few minutes learning about sectional charts will help you understand it more clearly.
- Keep your drone within line of sight. You, or a designated observer, should be able to see your drone at all times.
- Give way to manned aircraft – this includes hot-air balloons, sailplanes, small aircraft like Piper Cubs, helicopters, and commercial aircraft.
- Do not operate your drone near military installations or military equipment.
- Do not interfere with law enforcement or fire/rescue operations.
- Fly at or below 400 feet above ground level.
Are You Allowed to Fly Drones in Residential Areas?
As long as you comply with airspace rules, you can fly a drone in a residential area. It can be pretty fun to fly around the neighborhood and get a birds-eye view of your house. However, do not fly in or around traffic, and maintain a safe altitude at all times.
You should also be aware that some people may not be thrilled to see your drone hovering over their yard. Using your drone to observe your neighbors could be considered an invasion of privacy and could lead to contact with law enforcement. So be smart with your drone. Fly at a reasonable altitude and don’t loiter in such a way that people will feel threatened by or suspicious of your drone.
Can You Fly Drones on Florida Beaches?
You can absolutely fly your drone at the beach! You’ll get a birds-eye view of the whole beach, and you can get some great photos while you’re at it. Just remember to yield to other aircraft, such as helicopters, banner-tow planes, and sightseeing planes. Also, be aware of parasailers, kites, and birds.
Drones use electric motors that can easily become fouled or broken if sand gets into them. If you plan to fly at the beach, we recommend bringing a cooler to use as a launch/landing pad: it’ll keep your drone elevated off the sand and minimize the chances of getting sand in your drone.
Are Drones Allowed in Florida State Parks?
Drones are not allowed on state-managed lands, including state parks. This prohibition protects local nature and keeps the parks as ‘natural’ as possible. However, as cool as drones are, you have to admit it would kill the vibe a little if you were watching an awe-inspiring nature scene and some guy’s drone was hovering above you.
Are You Allowed to Fly Drones at Night?
Under FAA rules, you may fly drones at night. However, your drone must be equipped with anti-collision lighting, and you must follow all other operating rules. Flying at night can be a challenge, as it’s easy to become disoriented or lose sight of your drone, which could pose a safety hazard. That said, you can also get some super cool shots of the beach, the cityscape, or even the July 4th fireworks!
Other Places You Aren’t Allowed to Fly Drones in Florida
Not that you would, but don’t use your drone to facilitate any kind of illegal activity. Under Florida law, municipalities can impose drone ordinances related to unlawful acts like voyeurism, harassment, reckless endangerment, or other things that are already illegal.
Florida state law requires that drone operators stay clear of “critical infrastructure” and includes things like:
- Power lines.
- Power plants, especially nuclear power plants.
- Water treatment plants.
- Bridges, highways, and other transportation infrastructure.
- Railroad tracks.
- Cellular towers and radio towers.
You would be wise to use caution when operating near:
- Police stations, jails, and prisons.
- Hospitals, especially if they have helipads.
- Fire stations.
- Active emergency sites, such as fires or locations experiencing police activity.
Do not operate your drone near military facilities, such as MacDill Air Force Base or any Coast Guard facility. Likewise, do not “buzz” people, vessels, traffic, or animals.
Florida law also offers protections for private property owners. So if you are curious what’s going on in that extensive section of posted land, or if you’re just wondering exactly how big that gated estate up the road is, don’t do it.
Drones are fun. Modern drones are pretty easy to operate and usually come with a control pad that uses your smart device as a screen. They’re surprisingly affordable and quite nimble. Even a relatively inexpensive quadcopter can provide hours of entertainment while letting you see the world in a whole new way.
We don’t mean to drone on and on, but we just know that once you enter into the fun and fascinating world of unmanned aerial vehicles, you’ll find yourself enamored of this engaging and exciting hobby. In addition, flying drones is far less expensive than getting a traditional pilot’s certificate, and while you do have to have a safety certificate, you do not need a special license to operate a drone in Florida.
Once you pass your free safety exam, you can take your drone with you to the beach, to the park, or even to the office to take a flight on your lunch break. So take your safety course, grab yourself a drone, and go hit the skies. | aerospace |

Just considering the perturbation of a third body we can obtain very interesting effects on the motion, such as in the case of mean motion resonances of asteroids or between satellites. For my research activity I am studying the Laplace resonance between the Galilean satellites of Jupiter (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto): the resonant interaction between the moons and the dissipative effects due to the tides with Jupiter, make the satellites' orbits evolve. This mechanism is well know in celestial mechanics theory, but its magnitude in the case of Jupiter is still a discussion matter into the scientific community.
There are several interplanetary missions that are operating in the Solar System. Apart from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), also ESA (European Space Agency) makes great efforts in its own space program. JUICE mission is a future European mission that will explore the Jovian system, obtaining different kind of data on the Galilean satellites. Departing from the orbit determination software ORBIT14, developed by the Celestial Mechanics Group of Pisa, I am performing different simulations in order to study the performances of the mission. Apart from some common dynamical parameters, such as the moons' gravitational coefficients, I am interested in the determination of the position of the Galilean satellites and the dissipation due to the tidal forces.
In the case of a volcanic eruption the magma flows from the cone to the areas below. A possible model that can predict the path of the fluid is described by the Shallow Water equations, for which it is considered a low fluid thickness and a 2-dimensional motion. In order to obtain realistic simulations, it is necessary to consider a suitable rheology, that adds friction forces to the model. Recently I worked on a project of the INGV, under the supervision of Dr. de' Michieli Vitturi, where we developed a numerical solver for the Shallow Water equations (IMEX_SfloW2D software), in order to study Etna eruption events.

In April of 2015, the Israel Missile Defence Organization’s Directorate of Defence Research and Development along with the US Missile Defense Agency successfully conducted the third test of the David’s Sling Weapon System (DSWS). Developed from a collaboration between Raytheon and Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the DSWS is a terminal missile defense interceptor system intended for use against short-range ballistic missiles, large caliber rockets and cruise missiles with ranges from 40 to 300 kilometers away.
Through hit-to-kill technology, the system utilizes an interceptor dubbed the Stunner. The DSWS program began in 2009 when Raytheon received two subcontracts from Rafael worth $100 million. Raytheon assisted prime contractor Rafael with developing the interceptor and missile component, as well as the missile firing unit launch system of the David’s Sling.
The DSWS is meant to integrate with Israel’s broader missile defense initiative which is composed of the Iron Dome, Patriot and the Arrow 1, 2, and 3 systems. The DSWS can be used in both mobile and stationary settings, providing a further layer of coverage in the country’s comprehensive missile defense strategy. The first test of this system was conducted in 2012. After completing the system’s third test, Israeli Defence Minister Moshe Ya’alon stated that he believes the DSWS will be operational within the next year (2016). The system can hold up to 16 missiles at once. Guidance is directed by radar and electro-optical sensors
found on the nose of the missiles, which can be retargeted automatically or manually by a command operator. For striking targets, the Stunner missile contains two motor pulses to propel the missile through its mid-course stage and finally a third pulse for thrust once the target is locked on. Using the DSWS is currently quite costly, with estimates totaling up to $1 million USD for a single interception. Israel asked the United States in March 2015 for additional funding of $317 million, allocated solely for missile defense endeavors, on top of the $158 million already sought in the 2016 US federal budget.

If you like anniversaries with certain numbers attached to them, here’s a good one for astronomy. It’s actually a series of 25th anniversaries. And you don’t need clear skies to enjoy them. In early March 1986, several spacecraft had close encounters with Halley’s Comet. Two were launched by Japan, two by the Soviet Union, and one by the European Space Agency.
Vega 1, the first of the Soviet craft, soared by on March 6. Nine months earlier, it dropped a balloon into the atmosphere of Venus. Then, it used the planet’s gravity to redirect itself to the comet. Vega 1 took pictures of Halley and determined the shape and temperature of the comet’s nucleus.
The Japanese mission Susei went by Halley on March 8. It spent a few months taking ultraviolet images of the comet’s tail.
Vega 2 was next on March 9. The companion to Vega 1 had also dropped a balloon over Venus. Then, it followed its brother to the comet for pictures and temperature measurements, etc.
Sakigake, from Japan, arrived March 11. It had equipment for measuring plasma wave spectra, solar wind ions, and interplanetary magnetic fields.
Last but not least, the European Space Agency was responsible for Giotto. On March 13, this spacecraft passed closest of all the “Halley Armada” and told the most about Halley. Giotto revealed the peanut shaped nucleus to be very rough, very black, and very old (about 4.5 billion years old).
Giotto’s measurements showed Halley’s tail was 80% water and 10% carbon monoxide. And folks in 1910 were worried about methane from the comet killing them as Earth passed through Halley’s tail!
Halley is the most famous comet. It was the first known to be a periodic comet, one that orbits the sun and thus makes subsequent appearances. Since its orbital period is 76 years, most people who see it find it a once in a lifetime experience. Since it hasn’t been around the sun as many times as closer comets, Halley has more material to lose. So, it usually puts on a better show with a longer tail and brighter apparition.
Scientists who study comets were excited about missions to study Halley in the 1980s. But they don’t want to wait until 2061 when Halley appears again to send the next fleet of spacecraft after it. Since the 1986 encounters, other comets have been photographed close up. Comet dust has been captured and returned to Earth. One probe, aptly named Deep Impact, punched a hole in a comet to make a dust plume to study.
Just a few weeks ago, the Stardust-NExT mission provided data about Comet Tempel 1. That’s the comet Deep Impact went to in 2005. The followup mission arrived February 14-15, 2011. Tempel 1 is the first comet to have been visited twice. NASA wanted to get better pictures of the crater Deep Impact made and see what other changes Tempel 1 has been through since its last orbit. | aerospace |

Like many kids, Luis Alberto Rodriguez had dreams about space travel and far away planets growing up. Unlike most kids, he chose to pursue an academic path that could get him there.
Rodriguez has made the most of his education to advance his visions of making the next big space discovery. Rodriguez, a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Miami College of Engineering (UMCoE) Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE), is now heading to the nation’s space agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Rodriguez’s research focus is on the multi-physics modeling of magnetic smart materials and shape memory alloys for optical CubeSat systems, a type of miniaturized satellite for space research. He also has designed magnetic field structure models for human colony protection against space radiation and assisted in hybrid rocket propulsion experiments. He assisted with designing and led experimental environmental degradation research of a supersonic aircraft’s radar protecting reinforced composite structure by analyzing its diffusion dynamics, dielectric, viscoelastic and mechanical properties.
Rodriguez will be working as an engineer in the Thermal Energy Conversion Branch at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The branch is responsible for planning, conducting and directing research and development to advance state-of-the-art thermal energy conversion systems for aerospace, as well as non-aerospace applications. The branch also provides subject matter expertise in thermodynamic heat engines, heat source integration and waste heat rejection for radioisotope, fission and solar thermal power system applications from basic research principles to integrated flight systems. Currently, the branch supports programs/projects from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate for the Advanced Stirling Radioisotope Generator, Technology Advancement and Extreme Environments, as well as NASA’s Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate for the Nuclear Systems Project.
Rodriguez doesn’t know what projects he will be working on but is excited to potentially continue his research efforts in energy conversion for deep space exploration.
Rodriguez previously intern in NASA’s Structural Dynamics and Remote Sensing branches at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. He was a US Air Force Reserve stationed at Homestead Air Reserve Base in Homestead, Fla. In 2013, Rodriquez received his bachelors in aerospace, aeronautical and astronautical engineering and his PhD in mechanical engineering, in 2017, from UMCoE. | aerospace |

“The G7 Summit was an awesome experience and being able to support such a great cause was an honor. The fuels division’s motivation and teamwork shined clean, clear, and bright, just like the fuel we gave them,” said Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Fuels) 2nd Class Rita Doakes.
During the summit, the team refueled 18 aircraft, including fuel support and coordination to Air Force One and Two, as well as aircraft from partner nations Japan and France, and U.S. Air Force and Italian Air Force helicopters, totaling 26,000 U.S. gallons of fuel.
The team provided 37,000 gallons of fuel to Italian Air Force fuel trucks for their refueling efforts, and coordinated customs support for armed Secret Service agents and the press plane at the Catania Airport, to include weapons clearance and a liaising service for Italian customs support to Sigonella.
After the presidential town hall featuring U.S. and Italian armed forces, NAVSUP FLC Sigonella’s work was not finished. The team defueled 13,000 U.S. gallons of fuel from nine helicopters and assisted Air Force One fueling teams in draining Air Force fuel trucks in preparation for shipment. During this time, the team also refueled six C-17s with more than 100,000 U.S. gallons of fuel.
“I think this is one of the most challenging logistics support activities I’ve ever led. With so many partners and so many key players, it was imperative that we all understood both what we owned and how we needed to support one another,” said Lt. Cmdr. Schoenthal. “Our job as supply officers is to make sure our warfighters get what they need when they need it. In this case, it was ensuring the commander in chief arrived safely and was able to meet his mission.” | aerospace |

By the end of this century, a new tool will be available for goelogists, earthquake researchers, emergency management agencies, and forestry and land use management agencies. An airborne radar system call GeoSAR will generate high-resolution, three-dimensional maps to explore and study California.
GeoSAR is being developed by a consortium consisting of the California Department of Conservation, Calgis Inc., and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with funding provided the the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The project will develop a dual-frequency airborne radar system that will be able to collect 249 square kilometers (94 square miles) of data a minute.
A special feature of GeoSAR will be its ability to acquire three-dimensional images of the Earth's surface through a technique call interferometry. Because GeoSAR uses radar, the system will be able to operate both day and night, under almost any weather condition. GeoSAR will be the first instrument that will be able to map both above, through, and below the vegetation canopy providing important information such a data about landslides that are overgrown with vegetation. The GeoSAR radar system is a dual frequency design using both P- and X-band wavelengths. The longer P-band wavelength will penetrate deeper into the canopy and, coupled with computer modeling, map beneath the vegetation canopy. When combined with other remote sensing data such as Landsat multi-spectral information, it will be possible to not only determine land cover type such as tree species, but also tree height and perhaps even width, such as crown diameter. Maps created with the GeoSAR data will be used to assess potential goelogic/seismic hazards, such as landslides, classify land cover, map farmlands and urbanization, and manage forest harvests. This system will become operational in early 2000.
JPL will build the radar system and develop the data processing software that will be used to convert the raw data into digital elevation models (DEMs). Calgis Inc., a geographic information systems company based in Fresno, California, will construct a geographic information systems (GIS) work station that will convert the JPL radar images into user maps. Calgis will operate the radar system and acquire the data onboard a Gulfstream II. The California Department of Conservation will design and lead the user validation experiments during the final year of the three year project. GeoSAR will initially map areas in California with the project branching out into other states and countries as users request data.

CRISM’s job is to produce maps of the surface mineralogy of Mars. This is a huge success, but unfortunately the loss of its last cryocooler in 2017 means the spectrometer can only undertake limited observations.
But CRISM storms out, creating one last image of the surface of Mars that NASA will release in batches over the next six months.
What’s new – The new map will cover 86% of the surface of Mars. It will be 5.6 gigapixels in size and will reveal the locations of dozens of important minerals in 72 colors. Since many minerals form in the presence of water, the locations of certain minerals reveal evidence of Mars’ aquatic past. The new map will also help plan future missions and choose the most promising places for rovers to visit.
We already have the first portions of the new menu. The final version of the map will contain approximately 51,000 strips 540 kilometers long, contained in 1764 tiles. As of mid-June, NASA released 48 of these tiles, and they cover five of the most scientifically interesting regions on Mars.
The final map is an all-new dataset and the first of its kind. The data was collected over the years of the mission but was never put together, although the mission scientists had this project in mind.
“This is actually a whole new set of data that will fuel a second wave of discoveries about the composition of the surface of Mars.”
“We’ve had map tiles as a product defined in the books since the very beginning,” said Frank Seelos, PLA planetary scientist and CRISM mapping project manager.
“We knew we wanted to do this, but it took us many, many years to get to the point where we had enough data and the tools to make it worthwhile.”
How they did — CRISM has made around 33,000 high-resolution images over the years, and they have helped identify landing sites for rover missions, and also informed the future Mars Sample Return mission.
But while he was doing this work, he was also gathering lower resolution map strips, about 83,000 of them. Now that CRISM is no longer active, the team builds its map from these tapes.
Processing so much data into a single coherent map is a complicated task requiring powerful computing resources. It takes time to optimize the maps and take into account the environmental conditions and the differences between the different images.
“For an individual tile, the optimization process can take just five hours in some exceptional cases, but sometimes it will take more than a day,” said Katie Hancock, CRISM team member, software developer at APL who led the development of the optimization code. In a JH/UAPL press release, Hancock said it would take a computer cluster a month to build the map of the entire planet.
Why is it important – The map will be important for years to come and will fuel future Mars discoveries.
“This is actually a whole new set of data that will fuel a second wave of discoveries about the composition of the surface of Mars,” said Scott Murchie, planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, and principal investigator of CRISM.
“In fact, one of the goals of the next extended MRO mission is for its HiRISE camera to go back and color image the hundreds of new high-science hotspots we find on the map – spots that haven’t were imaged at high resolution because their significance was not known.
Take pictures of Mars
CRISM is still operational in a limited way. Without a cryocooler, it will not be able to perform infrared observations and will be limited to visible light operations. It is in standby mode at the moment and is on deck until it is decommissioned in a few months.
The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter is still performing well and has exceeded its planned mission by several years. In 2018, NASA said it wanted the spacecraft to continue operating until at least the late 2020s. One of the obstacles to greater longevity is its aging gyroscopes, but NASA said it can rely on stellar navigation to maintain the spacecraft’s orientation.
MRO’s HiRISE camera captured nearly 70,000 high-resolution images of the surface of Mars. It doesn’t rely on a cryocooler, so as long as the MRO is running, we’ll still see great visible-light images of Mars.
ESA’s Mars Express Orbiter is also still operating on Mars, and it carries its own spectrometer. The Infrared Mineralogical Mapping Spectrometer, or Observatory for Mineralogy, Water, Ice and Activity (OMEGA) also uses near infrared to map mineral concentrations on the Martian surface.
And after – Frank Seelos, head of the CRISM mapping project, points out that the mission was a success and that the instrument does not need to contribute more than it already has to be a large part of the exploration of Mars.
“The warranty on this thing expired years ago before my kids were even born,” Seelos said. “CRISM’s investigation has taken a very long time, and the fact that we have been able to collect data for so many years is incredible. The release of these tiles is something of an exclamation point for the legacy of the instrument. .
“The CRISM survey was one of the crown jewels of NASA’s MRO mission,” said Richard Zurek, mission project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Analysis based on these final maps will provide new information about the history of Mars for many years to come.”
If you want to dig deeper into what CRISM is showing us about minerals on the surface of Mars, visit JHUAPL’s MICA site. MICA is a downloadable set of published descriptions and typical locations of unique spectral features identified on Mars using CRISM data. It was released in 2019.

Aviation industry-leader contributes $47 million annually to regional economy
DULUTH, Minnesota – AAR (NYSE: AIR) announces a maintenance milestone at its Duluth repair station – completion of the 200th aircraft for customer Air Canada. AAR marked the occasion today inside the hangar with aerospace executives, Mayor Don Ness and local elected and economic development officials. AAR is also marking three years doing business in the Duluth region, where it has contributed $47 million annually to the regional economy and encouraged investment in the state’s aviation infrastructure.
The aviation sector in the Duluth region is projected to grow by 20 percent through 2022, according to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. In recent years, the region has employed more than 50 percent of the state’s aviation maintenance and manufacturing workers. AAR has contributed greatly to that figure. In November 2012, it reopened an abandoned 188,000-square-foot aircraft hangar. Today, the Duluth facility supports three lines of aircraft maintenance and 385 full-time jobs.
At Thursday’s ceremony, AAR’s Dany Kleiman, Group Vice President – Repair and Engineering, reiterated AAR’s commitment to the region, and local officials echoed sentiments that AAR in Duluth is a great fit. Duluth was equally attractive to the Company for its rich talent pool of aircraft maintenance professionals.
"AAR is grateful to the City of Duluth, Mayor Ness and all of the people who have contributed to the success of this industry-leading, public-private partnership," Kleiman said. "Together, we have created a best-case scenario for how government and industry can work together to revitalize a sector that’s vital to our GDP and economically empowering citizens. We deeply appreciate the dedication of AAR’s 385 employees in Duluth for their commitment to excellence and safety."
"Duluth’s aviation sector is booming, thanks in part to AAR’s investment," said Mayor Ness. "AAR has been a great partner and outstanding employer providing hundreds of skilled jobs. We congratulate AAR on delivery of the 200th aircraft and anticipate much success through the next 100."
Earlier this year, AAR was awarded an expansion of its contract with Air Canada to provide aircraft maintenance and component repair, adding seven aircraft to its current cost-per-flight-hour agreement and extending it through 2023. The Duluth facility is dedicated to the commercial carrier’s narrow-body Airbus fleet, exclusively servicing A319, A320 and A321 aircraft.
"APEX is very proud of our ongoing relationship with investor-member AAR," said Brian Hanson, APEX President & CEO. "When we first met the AAR team, it was evident that this dynamic company would be a catalyst for the regional aviation industry. AAR’s commitment to growth has resulted in 385 jobs, stronger local educational offerings in aviation careers, and impressive investment. Thank you, AAR, and congratulations on your 200th plane delivery."
Through its 1MRO service delivery network, AAR provides a consistent approach and process to maintenance and modification work done on every aircraft type across its five aircraft repair stations in the U.S., delivering the same quality service no matter where the work is performed. AAR’s MRO locations include hangars in Indianapolis, Miami, and Oklahoma City, and can accommodate both wide- and narrow-body repair work. A new MRO facility being built to serve next-generation aircraft is slated to open in 2016 in Rockford, Ill.
AAR was voted Best Airframe MRO Provider in the world at the 2015 Aircraft Technology Engineering & Maintenance (ATE&M) Awards ceremony in London. The Company has earned the recognition three times in the last four years. This year the category was geographically expanded to recognize providers’ global impact.

Building upon the long-standing relationship with AirNav, this project completes a successful upgrade of the existing StarCaster D-VOLMET infrastructure at AirNav’s North Atlantic Communications Centre, also known as Shannon Aeradio or Shanwick Radio. Final commissioning of the StarCaster D-VOLMET system is scheduled for early 2024.
Irish controlled airspace acts as a gateway between Europe and North America, with Shannon Aeradio providing a long-range voice communication service for Oceanic Air Traffic Control (ATC) in the Eastern half of the North Atlantic. StarCaster supports Shannon Aeradio operations by providing a continuous 24/365 VOLMET Broadcast Service of weather data to aircraft in flight. The VOLMET broadcast consists of SIGMETs (warnings of significant weather phenomena, which may be hazardous to aircraft), terminal forecasts and actual weather observations for each of the principal airports in Europe. The StarCaster VOLMET System is deployed for dual hot standby (DHS) operation and is configured to meet the latest specifications for AirNav’s Shannon VOLMET and Dublin VOLMET broadcasts. StarCaster receives weather data on a continuous basis to create the VOLMET message for output on four (4) channels for the Shannon HF broadcasts and two (2) channels for the Dublin VHF broadcasts.
Furthermore, the StarCaster system is fully supported by STR’s Warranty and Maintenance portfolio to ensure the ongoing compliance to all industry regulatory requirements and to support AirNav’s long-term operational requirements. A training system has also been provided as a training resource for AirNav personnel and for the internal testing of new software or system configurations over the operational lifespan of the system.

- The new development adds fuel to accusations that Boeing’s company culture has pushed employees to put safety below profits.
- While the 737 MAX issues are unrelated, it adds to a growing list of complaints about the quality of Boeing aircraft
This week brought on more bad news for Boeing (NYSE:BA) as the aircraft maker was back in the spotlight again for safety issues among its 737 planes. Boeing warned of potential cracks in the “pickle forks” of its 737 NG aircraft in September, resulting in industry-wide inspections on the planes. So far, less than 5% of the planes in question have been grounded due to faults, but the issue raises more questions about whether the company culture at BA puts profits ahead of safety.
Plane Inspections Show Faults
According to Boeing, more than 1,000 aircraft had the potential to be affected by the fault, but that less than 5% have needed repairs. So far, the pickle-fork cracks appear to have only impacted planes that have had heavy usage. Planes with more than 30,000 flight cycles and those between 26,000 and 29,999 flight cycles within 1,000 flights were ordered to be inspected by the FAA, but some airlines like Qantas decided to check younger planes as a precaution.
So far, Brazilian carrier Gol has felt the largest impact of the faulty pickle forks, with 11 of its planes grounded for repairs. Southwest Airlines and Qantas have each had to ground three of their planes due to cracks.
Although Qantas only grounded three of their planes, that’s nearly 10% of the total number of aircraft inspected. The airline also discovered a fault in at least one aircraft that was outside the flight cycle parameters that Boeing set out, leading some to question the safety of the aircraft.
While Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority says ongoing checks of potentially affected planes are enough to keep passengers safe, the nation’s Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association released a statement saying Qantas should ground the entire fleet in the interest of safety.
Boeing’s Cracks Starting to Show
Boeing is still struggling to get its 737 MAX planes back in the air after faulty systems caused two fatal crashes. Investigations into Boeing’s certification of the planes have turned up troubling evidence suggesting the company’s priorities rank profitability over safety. While the MAX planes haven’t been affected by the pickle-fork fault, the issue compounds worries that Boeing-made aircraft aren’t as safe as others on the market.
On top of Boeing’s commercial issues, the firm is also battling bad press on its military side as well. California Rep. John Garamendi was quoted saying that Boeing was also a letdown as a military supplier.
“Going forward, this is not the only issue. We have a serious problem with Boeing in the military side of it.”
His remarks were in reference to the KC-46, a refueling tanker supplied to the US Air Force by Boeing. According to Garamendi, the plane was $3 billion over budget and delivered two years late. The problems didn’t stop there either, he lamented. He claims the refueling aircraft “doesn’t yet work” and that “there are ongoing problems.”
In his interview with CNBC, Garamendi appeared to be calling for Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg’s departure, saying in order for the company to win future government contracts:
“[You] guys have to prove yourself and if that means a bunch of the executives take the big dive and leave without a fat going-away present, that seems be the right thing to do.”
Garamendi isn’t on his own in calling for Muilenburg to step down. While he testified about the 737 MAX’s issues, he faced repeated calls for his resignation and many believe losing his title of chairman wasn’t enough. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, whose grandniece was killed in one of the MAX crashes, has been outspoken about the need for Muilenburg to exit the company completely.
