The pilot, identified by the Ohio State Highway Patrol as Myron Sowry, 77, of Phillipsburg, was making a long final on Runway 08 around just after 11 a.m. on Wednesday when he lost power. Sowry initiated forced landing procedures, bringing the aircraft down in standing corn approximately one-quarter mile from the end of the runway.
He landed safely, exited the aircraft, and made his way through around 100 yards of standing corn to Brian Bros. Painting & Restoration on Versailles Road where he contacted authorities.
The Piqua Fire Department along with mutual aide from both Covington and Lockington Fire Departments responded to the scene where a search to re-locate the aircraft was started.
Lt. Joe Gephardt of the Piqua Post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol said, “He did a good job of keeping it upright,” speaking of Sowry’s skill in making the difficult landing in the corn.
A Lockington firefighter who was on the scene got permission from the landowner and used a tractor and Bushhog to mow a path to the aircraft. Officials from the FAA are expected to arrive at the scene to join the Highway Patrol in the investigation, following which the aircraft will be loaded onto a trailer and transported to the Piqua/Hartzell Airport.

(AFNS) — From acquisition to on-orbit operations, the historic mission set a new standard for Tactically Responsive Space, or TacRS, by demonstrating an end-to-end capability to rapidly respond to adversary aggression. From the time the mission was conceived, the VICTUS NOX team seamlessly executed each phase of the effort: Build, Hot-Standby, Activation, Alert, Launch, Initialization and On-orbit Operations.
“From the warehouse to on-orbit capability in a week. That’s tactically responsive,” said U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman during a fireside chat last October. “That is something that you can respond to irresponsible behavior on-orbit and the response is directly connected to that irresponsible behavior.”
The Build Phase culminated with a Flight Readiness Review less than one year after contracts were awarded to Firefly Aerospace and Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing Company. In that time, the spacecraft was pulled from an active production line, modified with an additional space domain awareness payload and readied for launch.
In addition, all of the normal processes associated with the launch of a satellite – such as spectrum assignment, or the process of assigning a particular frequency or band to a communications device; authority to operate approvals; and launch and space vehicle certifications – were completed. After the Build Phase was complete, the team entered the Hot-Standby Phase waiting on the call to activate.
On Sept. 8, 2023, the team was ordered to execute the Activation Phase and completed it within 57 hours, beating the 60-hour goal. After the call came, the team transported the spacecraft from the factory to the launch site payload processing facility, fueled the vehicle and conducted final testing. The mission then entered the Alert Phase.
On Sept. 13, 2023, with no prior notice, the Space Force provided the final orbit parameters and ordered the team to launch. The Launch Phase met its goal of being ready for launch within 24 hours, with liftoff taking place at the first available launch window, 27 hours after receipt of the launch order. After reaching orbit, it took only 37 hours to complete the Initialization Phase, once again beating the 48-hour goal. Once on-orbit operations began, the VICTUS NOX team quickly completed multiple maneuvers to conduct rendezvous and proximity operations and SDA.
The VICTUS NOX on-orbit operations team was comprised of members from multiple organizations across the Space Force. Personnel from the Space Delta 12’s (DEL 12) 3rd Test and Evaluation Squadron at Schriever Space Force Base led the initial on-orbit operations with a team to include members from Space Safari, the USSF’s Tactically Response Space lead; 20th Space Surveillance Squadron, a unit within Space Delta 2 (DEL 2) – Space Domain Awareness and Space Battle Management; and partners Millenium Space Systems and the Aerospace Corporation.
Additionally, the team received on-orbit tracking and collision avoidance support from DEL 2’s 18th Space Defense Squadron and 19th Space Defense Squadron at Peterson Space Force Base throughout the effort. DEL 2, one of nine mission deltas under Space Operations Command, leads the operational Space Domain Awareness mission on behalf of the Space Force and uses the Space Battle Management warfighting discipline to identify, characterize, and exploit opportunities and mitigate vulnerabilities in the national security space terrain.
“I couldn’t be prouder of the test and operational support the entire Space Delta 2 team provided for this game-changing mission,” said Col. Raj Agrawal, commander of DEL 2. “We quickly rose to the challenge and demonstrated that Tactically Responsive Space missions like VICTUS NOX are capable of meeting urgent combatant commander needs on tactically relevant timelines during Great Power Competition.”
After the initial on-orbit objectives were complete, Space Safari concluded the mission with SDA operations in the spacecraft’s final orbit. USSF/SSC missions are purposely designed to include end-of-life disposal for satellites, in order to reduce orbital debris and keep space accessible for all.
“Achieving VICTUS NOX’s ambitious objectives was truly a team effort,” said Lt. Col. MacKenzie Birchenough, Space Safari materiel leader. “We were fortunate to have such skilled Space Force and industry partners who executed each phase with expertise and ultimately ensured mission success.”
VICTUS NOX has laid a significant foundation that the U.S. Space Force will continue to build upon in order to normalize TacRS operations. The next demonstration, VICTUS HAZE, is expected to be awarded in the coming weeks. | aerospace |

Burrito Bomber UAV delivers edible payload
By Jonathan Fincher December 17, 2012
The Burrito Bomber is a flying drone that can take food orders and air drop them at a person’s location within minutes
Image Gallery (4 images)
Orders are taken through a web app, which pinpoints a user’s location and automatically creates a waypoint file for the drone to follow. Then an operator loads the burrito into the canister, uploads the waypoint file, and sends the bomber on its way. The canister holds and protects a 500 gram burrito and deploys an attached parachute when dropped, so the contents arrive in one edible piece at their destination.
It may sound like an implausible method of food delivery, but there’s a real possibility that drones could ship packages in the near future. The United States Congress recently passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, part of which tasks the FAA with creating a set of regulations for commercial-use drones by September 2015.
It’s doubtful that flocks of drones will take to the skies to drop off packages at that time, but this may be a hint, albeit a tongue-in-cheek one, of a future of unmanned cargo aircraft. If you want to make your own burrito delivery aircraft, Darwin Aerospace has detailed instructions along with 3D models and code on its website.

Over many centuries, the idea of space travel has been taking shape with the humanity's improving understanding of the Universe. Before flying machines could attempt to escape the Earth's gravity, generations of astronomers had been bluilding a realistic stage for space exploration, while their tools served as the earliest space research instruments.
|EARLIEST EXPERIMENTAL SATELLITES
After millennia of dreams, centuries of scientific research and decades of engineering experimentation, the Space Age began in 1957 with the launch of the Earth's first artificial satellite.
The Soviet Union pioneered human conquest of space sending the first piloted spacecraft into orbit in 1961. Since then, several generations of transport ships and orbital stations were developed in the country. Much more ambitious projects of giant orbital settlements, lunar bases and expeditions to Mars were conceived, but could not be implemented due to their tremendous cost. Yet, along with the United States, Russia had remained one of two nations in the world sending people in space in the 20th century.

| MILITARY SATELLITES
A vast majority of satellites that the Soviet Union had launched from 1961 to 1991 carried out military missions. Publicly, however, the USSR denied the very existence of the military space program. Not surprisingly, numerous military space projects were not publically known until the last decade of the 20th century. As their US counterparts, the Russian satellites served as spies for the government, as space sentries looking for the incoming missiles, provided secret communications and weather forecasting and scanned surface of the oceans in search for potential targets for the Soviet cruise missiles.
COMMERCIAL AND APPLICATION SPACECRAFT
IN SPACE: Application and commercial satellites
Although most Soviet satellites had originated as defense-related systems, they eventually began contributing into civilian sectors of economy. Huge progress in satellite communications, weather forecasting and observations of the Earth's surface created a great demand for dedicated non-military satellites. While many application spacecraft still have a dual purpose, their transfer under jurisdiction of civilian agencies, along with their declassified and often commercial nature put such spacecraft into a distinct category.
The very first satellite launched by the USSR in 1957 helped to advance the understanding of the upper atmosphere. Since then, Russian spacecraft have been making significant contributions in the mankind's understanding of the Solar System and the broader Universe. The Earth-orbiting satellites studied cosmic radiation, distant objects and physical phenomena in deep space. They also helped to advance material science and space biology.

The proposed contract offers another big pay win for pilots in the United States, after a deal with Delta Air Lines was approved in March. The substantial increase is a reflection of the shortage of pilots in the United States and a strong recovery in demand for air travel.
Apart from higher compensation, settlement provides better job security, work rules, leave, retirement and other benefits.
At a major airline like United, pilots easily earn six-figure salaries. The most senior pilots, who typically fly larger aircraft on international routes, can earn several hundred thousand dollars a year.
In a statement, United, which is based in Chicago, said the deal would help its “United Next” strategy, an expansion plan that includes using larger planes to increase the number of seats per flight in North America by about 30 percent. Purchase included. and the number of premium seats per flight to 75 percent by 2026.
“We promised our world-class pilots the industry-leading contracts they deserved, and we are pleased to have reached an agreement,” said Scott Kirby, chief executive of United Airlines. wrote on the social media network LinkedIn.
Union officials said the agreement was the result of four years of negotiations and represents a “historic” deal in the airline industry as travel demand rebounds after a steep decline during the height of the pandemic.
“The tireless dedication displayed by United pilots over the past several years has ensured our solidarity, which has been instrumental in achieving this historic agreement,” Captain Garth Thompson, president of the Master Executive Council of the United Air Line Pilots Association International, said in a statement. statement,
The Air Line Pilots Association, the world’s largest airline pilot union, represents 74,000 pilots at 42 airlines in the United States and Canada, including 16,000 pilots for United Airlines.
Now the union and management will complete the final language of the deal. The agreement must be approved by a vote of pilots’ association members, which is expected to take place over the next several weeks.
In March, Delta approved a contract that increases pay by 34 percent through 2026 and includes improvements to scheduling, retirement and other benefits. Delta’s deal raised the bar for pilot compensation and benefits.
The pilot shortage is a result of airlines reducing pilot numbers through buyouts and retirements, when air travel was cut significantly at the start of the pandemic. But with demand for airline flights rapidly increasing over the past year, carriers are boosting pilot pay and benefits as they hire thousands to fill the short ranks.

FAI F1D Rules states …
3.4. CLASS F1D – INDOOR MODEL AIRCRAFT
Model aircraft which can only be flown in an enclosed space and which are powered by
extensible motors and in which lift is generated by aerodynamic forces acting on surfaces
remaining fixed in flight, except for changes of camber or incidence.
3.4.2. Characteristics of Indoor Model Aircraft F1D
Maximum wingspan of the monoplane model ………………..550 mm, (21.65″)
Maximum chord of the lifting surfaces …………………………200 mm (7.87″)
Maximum tail span …………………………………………………450 mm (17.7″)
Minimum weight without rubber motor ………………………….1,2 g,
Maximum weight of the lubricated rubber motor ……………..0,6 g.
A U.S. dollar bill weighs 1g. With a typical F1D model length of 33″, how can a model be built to 1.2g? A typical F1D model has the following component weights:
- Wing .35 g
- Motor Stick .30 g
- Tailboom .16 g
- Stabilizer .14 g
- Propeller .25 g
- Total 1.20 g
These are typical weights, but each model is slightly different.
How do you build one of these ships? Here is an excellent “build” thread at the Hip Pocket Aeronautics forum by Tim Haynes Brown of Australia, with many of the world’s top builders contributing:
The rubber motor is limited to 0.6g. The length of the rubber motor depends on the flying site and propeller set up, and it ranges from 8.5″ to 9.5″. Because the motor weight is limited to 0.6g, the motor is wound to its maximum capacity in order to maximize energy. A typical motor that is 9″ long is wound with 1600 turns. When wound to the max, the rubber motor is rock hard. It is not atypical for a top flier to break 5 motors before successfully winding one to max. Even then, the danger is not over. The wound motor often breaks while it is being loaded onto the model, and it will also break while the model is flying. Every turn that is put into the motor counts, as the F1D model flies with a slow RPM of 50.
Top fliers use Tan II rubber, May 1999 or March 2002.
A typical European style F1D has a stab with tip dihedral, with no rudder used. This is perhaps made popular by the models of Bernie Hunt (England) and Jim Richmond (USA). A typical American F1D has a flat stab and a rudder at the end of the tailboom, made popular by American flier John Kagan.

Videos of F1D’s in flight
Here is a wonderful video showing two of Europe’s top fliers, Jonas Romblad of Sweden and Lutz Schramm of Germany. Lutz’s model employs the latest high-tech features and is a beauty in flight.
The next video shows Mark Benns’s model just after launch. Note how slow the propeller turns, resulting in a very slow, energy conserving climb. You can see how that the propeller has very high pitch at the start of the flight — the propeller blade almost appears perpendicular to the direction of rotation. | aerospace |

The one way that NASA can get kids excited about space again is to get every toy maker excited about space toys. That’s why I’m stoked that Mattel is putting out a Hot Wheels version of the Mars Curiosity Rover.
“To commemorate the Mars Rover Curiosity created by NASA/JPL-Caltech, Hot Wheels created a 1:64 version,” Mattel’s product description reads. “Curiosity carries many tools such as a drill, cameras and a laser. Its mission [is] to see if Mars could have ever supported small life forms called microbes… or if humans could explore there some day!”
It’s not the first time that Hot Wheels has put out space toys. They did a Rover toy in the 90s as part of the Hot Wheels “JPL Sojourner Mars Rover Action Pack Set” (I still have mine). But that pack had three toys: the Sojourner rover, its lander and spacecraft cruise stage. Hot Wheels also did series for Apollo (how did I miss that?!) and also NASA’s Mars Climate Orbiter, Deep Space 2 Microprobe and Mars Polar Lander – the last three crashed on the red planet.
The 1:64 Scale model of the Curiousity Rover (which is about the size of a Toyota Prius in real life) will be part of Mattel’s 2012 collection. Unfortunately, though, Mattel isn’t including the cruise/reentry stage, the parachute or the crane enabled lander, but the six wheeled Rover itself is highly detailed with cameras, tools, and even a laser attachment.
The cost is about $1.09 for the Rover and hopefully, kids will be thinking Mars as they play with it. | aerospace |

Private charter journeys just might accessibility privately owned airports if the proprietor or pilot gives authorisation before you start, though there are a few rules which apply. They will likely announce any objectives of charter flying along with the factor they wish to take advantage of the airfield. Most aircraft pilots will also need to have a distinctive licence which has been granted via the Civil Aviation Authority. Private charter airplanes should not be flown by members of the population.
There are a couple of different types of private airport terminals: specifically, airport terminals with runways, with equally runways and having solitary runways. Runways are those which offer the most convenient usage of a personal international airport. They are commonly quick and so are adjacent to a space of park ground or opened living space. Runways may be either belonging to the those who own the home. Additionally, they are often leased. Most airport terminals with runways are run by FAA professional aircraft.
A few of the commercial international airports which help one particular distinctive line of web sites have several grass runways. These may be appropriate for smaller planes, nevertheless for greater craft it is preferable to go for an even bigger flight terminal having a lawn runway. For exclusive aircraft pilots, a lawn runway is more suitable as there is significantly less risk of crash when attaining. The getting needs to be incredibly smooth for your aircraft pilots and co-passengers. It is advisable to never try your hand at attaining a bigger airplane on a little grass discipline, as it could be quite difficult.
Apart from public air terminals, there are a few isolated areas on the planet the place airplanes can area and take off from, without the need of bothering many others. An example of such is really an airstrip at Price, Colorado. Price Colorado happens to be an airfield that was primarily made like a person air port for Continental Airlines. However, during the early nineteen eighties, it was actually employed by private plane managers to carry out limited flying workouts. Nowadays, even a lot of specialized aviators choose to property their aircraft on exclusive airstrips, rather than getting at a public flight terminal.
There are 2 forms of airstrips: typically-designed and toned-areas. A typically-developed airstrip possesses a lawn runway and its located on a substantial piece of property. If you have not any general public access to the airport, it is really an best spot for small airplanes. Virtually all common-developed runways are developed in a manner they can supply excellent exposure to the floor and very good parking for passengers and cars and trucks. Flat fields, on the other hand, offer you much less presence to the ground and often lack enough parking. These areas in many cases are not very well-lighted and they could be less protect for automobiles.
Private large airports often present services which are usually one of a kind when compared to open public air terminals. Some give true runways, detailed with signs and urgent situation willingness. Many also offer many features just like lounges, stores and restaurants the game of golf lessons as well as other services. Private international airports are particularly loved by private initial pilots since they usually have for a longer time runways and more asphalt area. These cause them to be perfect for exercise works and will provide a wonderful site for trying out several approaches.
In combination with presenting a lesser amount of bedroom for turning up airplane, exclusive airports often deficiency some of the comforts offered by general population international airports. Runways are actually only one to three a long way long and are generally in rural places that will encounter bad weather condition or bad visibility. Moreover, there are no products and services or features like meals providers and lounges. Most aircraft pilots elect to ground their exclusive plane over a general population air-port, because these offer even more place for vehicle parking and wider area above which to terrain. Public airports are also better suited for travellers who would like to jump off the aircraft and wander all over.
Private runways are actually made to tackle small commercial airplane for example helis. These smaller sized aircraft will not be suited for big airport terminals, since they may not suit by large-bodied gates. For this reason more compact airport terminals are more uncommon in the country when compared to Parts of asia and The european countries. One can use them by tiny confidential jets regularly. Private international airports are employed more frequently by private jets for confidential person outings, even so.

Aircraft Type History
The Vickers Viscount - the world's first turboprop airliner - was one of the few commercially successful aircraft of postwar Britain. First flight of the prototype was at Wisley on 16/7/1948 and the first (40 seat) production aircraft entered regular service with British European Airways (BEA) in 1953. Viscount production ceased in the early 1960s after 444 had been made.
G-APIM ('IM), was one of the last Viscounts built at Brooklands. First flown from Brooklands on 4/6/1958 it was delivered to BEA named 'Robert Boyle' on 23/6/1958, serving with this airline until 1969. Briefly with Cambrian Airways in 1971-72, then British Airways from 1973-82, 'IM' joined British Air Ferries (BAF) at Southend in 1982. Flying again from July 1984 it was officially named 'Viscount Stephen Piercy' on 25/8/84 after the late Stephen Piercy of Addlestone Surrey. An accomplished aviation photographer, Stephen was founder and first editor of 'Propliner' magazine, but was tragically killed aged 26 at the Hanover Air Show on 20/5/84.
On 11/1/88, a Shorts 330 accidentally taxied into 'IM' at Southend. With the aircraft badly damaged, 'IM' was later offered to the Museum on 29/6/89. Dismantling, repair and reassembly
of 'IM' at Brooklands was carried out by Proteus Aero Services and the fuselage arrived via National Rescue on 11/2/90.
Ground equipment and missing parts were supplied by BAF and JRB Aviation and volunteers at Southend and Brooklands contributed too. By 1993 'IM' was restored and repainted.
Museum volunteers and the 'Friends of Viscount Stephen Piercy' continue to look after 'India Mike' today.
Four 1,890 hp Rolls Royce Dart Rda7 Mk 520 engines; wing span 93ft 8ins (28.6m); length 85ft 8ins (26.1m); height 26ft 9ins (8.2m); carried 58 (later up to 71) passengers.
The Rolls Royce Dart Propeller Turbine Aero-Engine is a gas turbine which drives a propeller. It has no up or down moving parts such as pistons or valves and no intermittent explosions or exhausts. It achieves the ideal of rotary motion and continuous combustion, which produces high power with no vibration. | aerospace |

According to analyst projections, outer space will be used for manufacturing processes.
According to partner at McKinsey, Ilan Rozenkopf, pharmaceutical, semiconductor (chip), beauty, health, and food products may also be produced in outer space. Its value is predicted to reach US$ 10 billion in 2030, quoted from CNBC International, Tuesday (22/8/2023).
Outer space offers a unique environment for product research and development. This is because the radiation levels and zero-gravity conditions there allow companies to find new manufacturing methods or materials that are not possible on Earth.
This practice is not entirely new. The International Space Station (ISS) has hosted several experiments from academia, government agencies, and commercial customers on such things as growing human tissue, making purer semiconductors, and developing new or improved drugs.
In the 2024 fiscal year budget, President Joe Biden even allocated US$5 million for NASA to continue research related to cancer on the ISS.
However, access to the ISS has always been competitive and interest in it is growing. Currently, several startups in the aerospace sector see opportunities to meet the demand for manufacturing in space. One of them is by building a space factory collectively.
Drug Manufacturing in Space
One such company is Varda Space Industries in Southern California. Varda’s mission is to help pharmaceutical companies improve their drugs or create new drug therapies by taking advantage of the unique properties of space, then returning those ingredients back to Earth.
Varda’s business focus is a phenomenon known as protein crystallization. This occurs when a supersaturated protein solution essentially evaporates to form a solid, so that scientists can study protein structure.
Understanding the crystal structure of proteins can help scientists get a better idea of disease mechanisms, identify drug targets, and optimize drug design.
As a result, the drugs produced can have fewer side effects and are more effective at curing disease.
Research conducted over many years has shown that protein crystals grown in space are of much higher quality than those grown on Earth.
The company’s business plan is not to manufacture all the drugs in space. However, it only makes up the main pharmaceutical active ingredient, or the part that is responsible for the therapeutic effect of a drug.
Chip Production in Space
Meanwhile in Cardiff, Wales, Space Forge is designing its own space factory to produce the next generation of semiconductors.
Space Forge’s goal is to manufacture semiconductor substrates using materials other than silicon to manufacture more efficient and higher performing chips.
“This next-generation material will allow us to create efficiencies we’ve never seen before,” said Andrew Parlock, Space Forge’s managing director of operations.
“We’re talking about a 10 to 100 X increase in semiconductor performance.” he continued.

Mechanical Engineering (MECH)
Current fluid pump systems aboard spacecraft such as the ISS require regular maintenance, since the mechanical components of such life support and environmental control subsystems are easily subject to degradation. A proposed solution to the heavy maintenance demand of a mechanical fluid system would be a replacement with a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pump, which requires no moving parts. MHD pumps instead rely merely on a current applied to an electrically conducting fluid and an induced magnetic field. In this design report, we are investigating the possibility of integrating MHD pumps onto future spacecraft missions by observing the performance of such a pump in microgravity conditions aboard a 2U CubeSat. Such an experiment would provide insight into the potential replacement of current spacecraft mechanical pump systems through a comparison of their efficiency, flow rate, and power demand.

- A system of operational control based on the use of air operator certificates it the most convenient way for a State to ensure that its operators comply with the requirements in the Annexes. However, at present there are no provisions in annex-6, part-I concerning the certification of an air operator. The model regulations in chapter-2 are based on generally accepted practices followed by most State.
- The model regulations in chapter-2 are intended to make it clear that all commercial air transport operations by aircraft registered in the State, or registered in another State but operated by an operator in the State under an interchange or lease agreement, are subject to such a system.
- Guidance material relating to the implementation of such a system together with guidance material relating to interchange agreements between two States when an aircraft registered in one State is operated by an operator in the together, is contained in the ICAO manual of procedures for operations certification and inspection ( Doc-8335).
4.2.1 An aircraft shall not fly for the purpose commercial air transport unless the operator holds an air operator certificate which authorizes that flight.
4.2.2 to quality for the issue of an air operator certificate by ( State), an applicant shall demonstrate that his experience, equipment, organization, staffing, maintenance and other arrangement are adequate to ensure the safe operation of the types of aircraft to be included in the certificate on such flights as are authorized, as well as the certificate the ability to establish and maintain a satisfactory method of supervision of these flight operations. Such a Certificate. Shall be valid for the period specified in the certificate, subject to compliance with
4.2.3 The holder of an air operator certificate issued in (State) shall comply with all the operating conditions attached to the certificate and shall conduct operations at least to the standard required to quality for the issue of such a certificate . Non-compliance with operating conditions or failure to maintain an adequate standard shall result in the revocation or suspension of the certificate.
4.2.4 (State) operator shall not operate an aircraft registered in another contracting State unless:
The director has been provided with information concerning:
- The aircraft type and serial number;
- The name and address of the registered owner;
- The state of registry and registration marks;
- The certificate of airworthiness together with a statement from the registered owner that the aircraft fully complies with the airworthiness requirements of the State of registry;
- The name, address and signature of the lessee or person responsible for operational control of the aircraft under the lease agreement, including a statement that such person together their respective responsibilities under the applicable regulations;
- A copy of the lease agreement or a description of the lease provisions.
Responsibilities of the Operator:

The audacious claim comes from the Russian scientific research, which proposes there could be a life on planet Venus after experts from the UK said they had found signs of phosphine in Venus’ atmosphere — suggesting the planet must support unknown chemical processes, or even life.
Dmitry Rogozin the Roscosmos chief who is known for promoting eccentric views said that Russia desires to send its own team to Venus, in addition to an already planned combined mission with the United States named as “Venera-D”.
Rogozin who was a former deputy prime minister said “We think that Venus is a Russian planet, so we shouldn’t lag behind, according to Russian space chief, the Soviet Union was the “first and the only one” to land a spacecraft on Venus.
“The spacecraft gathered information about the planet — it is like hell over there,” he said.
According to a journal called Nature Astronomy which is written by a British and an American scientist, who discovered phosphine gas in the clouds around planet Venus. Which is considered to be a vital sign of life on planet Venus.
Venus is taken as the hottest planet of our solar system as the planet’s atmosphere is almost made up of carbon dioxide and it is the second planet from the sun.
The newly study ignited public interest in Venus, and also provide motivation to Roscosmos chief to remind the people of this world the achievements accomplished by Soviet Union.
The NASA’s Mariner 2 turn out to be the first spacecraft to fly by Venus and measure its extreme surface temperature back in 1962. At that time Soviet Union initiated the Venera spaceship and in 1970 Venera 7 became the first spaceship to make a successful soft landing on the planet, however, the spacecraft melted in seconds. | aerospace |

About Virgin Galactic
Owned by Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and aabar Investments PJS, Virgin Galactic is on track to be the world’s first commercial spaceline. To date, the company has accepted nearly $80 million in deposits from approximately 640 individuals, which is approximately 10% more than the total number of people who have ever gone to space. The new spaceship (SpaceShipTwo, VSS Enterprise) and carrier craft (WhiteKnightTwo, VMS Eve) have both been developed for Virgin Galactic’s vehicle fleet by Mojave-based Scaled Composites. Founded by Burt Rutan, Scaled developed SpaceShipOne, which in 2004 claimed the $10 million Ansari X Prize as the world’s first privately developed manned spacecraft. Virgin Galactic’s new vehicles, which will be manufactured by The Spaceship Company in Mojave, Calif., share much of the same basic design, but are being built to carry six customers, or the equivalent scientific research payload, on suborbital space flights. The vehicles will allow an out-of-the-seat, zero-gravity experience with astounding views of the planet from the black sky of space for tourist astronauts and a unique microgravity platform for researchers. The VSS Enterprise and VMS Eve test flight program is well under way, leading to Virgin Galactic commercial operations, which will be based at Spaceport America in New Mexico. | aerospace |

PowiDian Energy hydrogen station now in charge of Guiana Space Center electrical backup
The European Space Agency (ESA) has commissioned CNES to manage the Guiana Space Center infrastructures in Kourou. The facility is the largest energy user in French Guiana, accounting for 25 to 30% of the country’s total consumption.
The CNES and ESA would like the Guiana Space Center to actively take part in Guiana’s energy sobriety and transition.
Manufacturing and launching operations at the GSC, however, demand a perfectly stable electrical power supply: each building includes a backup solution combining an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and a fuel generator.
The CNES contacted PowiDian to replace the center’s current backup solution with a hydrogen-based solution in order to reduce CO2 emissions. This objective is the first step in a more ambitious project: by 2025, the CNES would like the Space Center to produce its own green hydrogen.
To account for the specific needs of space applications, our teams have modified the SSPAC 100 system’s architecture in order to prevent any power outages in buildings.
In addition, Guiana’s hot and humid climate can be challenging. Local fauna can also disrupt or damage the equipment.
To provide the CNES with a bespoke solution, PowiDian teams have transformed the SSPAC 100 to integrate a battery stage and a permanent power supply. The reconfigured system ensures uninterrupted load supply.
The external structure has also been redesigned with CNES environmental experts in order to withstand aggressive weather conditions and damage risks from local fauna.
The system drastically
reduces the need
for backup fuel generators.

“This project, which is related to our other projects in French Guiana, greatly helped us to fully grasp the climate-related risks to our equipment in such a setting. The demand for excellence from our contractor in the space industry made for an enriching experience for the entire project team.” | aerospace |

With his decades of experience in LiDAR technology, and mapping projects around the world, he also has many “firsts” in the industry – starting in 2009 with UAV LiDAR R&D. In 2015, automatic RGB attribution to laser point clouds was created followed by his 3D Live software solution with real-time data processing in 2017. Most recently, LSAP was invented in February of this year and has already been named an award-winning innovation.
Led by Mr. Kletzli, LidarSwiss Solutions GmbH provides leading edge technology LiDAR solutions. LidarSwiss’ proven track record can be found everywhere from large scale, high-accuracy land mapping, to long distance BVLOS projects, like power line inspections.
Automation is the ultimate goal of UAV LiDAR solutions from LidarSwiss. Therefore, LidarSwiss’ software development philosophy is simplistic and intuitive: RGB attribution of the laser points happens simultaneously with laser geo-referencing. This is unique in the industry and allows for immediate display and review of the RGB laser data.
This efficiency comes from rapid workflow and less flight time. Direct geo-referencing and calibrations are also fixed, so flight lines can be spaced at 30% side overlap as opposed to the 70-80% typically required. This means LidarSwiss flight times are less than half when compared to typical operations. | aerospace |

The purposed of the competition was to help the Air Force solve a critical problem for the nation’s military and Special Operations community.
“Each team was impressive in its own right and displayed great creativity and ingenuity that fascinated both the judges and the operators,” said Mike Lazalier, senior manager of the Turbine Test Facility Planning AEDC/XPR Capabilities Integration Branch. “The panel of judges and operators had a great time seeing the innovative solutions and interacting with the students.”
Base on all metrics and scoring criteria, analyzing the teams' engineering reports and presentations, and revisiting performance results from the demonstration, the judges selected the University of Minnesota Duluth as the winner of the 2017 AFRL University Design Challenge. Honorable mentions went to Michigan Tech (collapsibility/portability and weight), UNC Charlotte (navigation intent and size/form factor), and Auburn U (simplicity and cargo modularity).
The object of the competition was to invent a resupply device, manually or autonomously operated, controlled, or programmed to haul items on rough and unimproved surfaces. The devices were design to be used by Special Forces during missions where operators typically carry 100+ pounds of gear. During such missions, operators require resupply of mission gear and equipment, as well as, movement of heavy items such as patients, K9s, food, water, ammunition, and other large, bulky items. | aerospace |

However, the use of drones is subject to rules and regulations, which must be followed to ensure safe and legal operation. In this blog post, we will discuss the rules and regulations for flying drones and how they apply to the use of drones to support local businesses and industries in Sonoma County, Napa County, Mendocino County, and Lake County.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has established rules and regulations for the operation of drones in the National Airspace System (NAS). According to a recent article in Forbes, these regulations include requirements for drone registration, pilot certification, and airspace restrictions. The FAA also prohibits drone flights over certain areas, such as airports, military bases, and national parks.
For businesses operating drones to support local industries, compliance with FAA regulations is essential. One of the most important regulations is the requirement for drone registration. According to a recent article in Drone Life, all drones that weigh more than 0.55 pounds must be registered with the FAA. This includes drones used for commercial purposes, such as those used by local businesses and industries in Sonoma County, Napa County, Mendocino County, and Lake County.
Another important regulation is the requirement for pilot certification. According to a recent article in Drone DJ, anyone operating a drone for commercial purposes must hold a Remote Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA. This certification requires passing a knowledge test and demonstrating the ability to operate a drone safely and responsibly.
In addition to these regulations, local jurisdictions may have their own rules for the operation of drones. For example, according to a recent article in The Press Democrat, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors has proposed restrictions on the operation of drones in certain areas, including parks and open spaces. Local businesses operating drones must be aware of these rules and regulations and ensure that their operations are in compliance.
One of the most significant challenges for businesses operating drones is navigating the complex airspace regulations. According to a recent article in PrecisionAg, drones operating above 400 feet are subject to special airspace restrictions. This can be particularly challenging for businesses operating drones to support agriculture and other industries, which may require flights at higher altitudes.
To navigate these regulations, businesses operating drones must have a clear understanding of the airspace restrictions in their area. According to a recent article in Wine Business, many drone operators are now using airspace mapping tools to help them navigate the regulations and ensure safe and legal operation.
In conclusion, the rules and regulations for flying drones are essential to ensure safe and legal operation. For businesses operating drones to support local industries in Sonoma County, Napa County, Mendocino County, and Lake County, compliance with these regulations is essential. This includes requirements for drone registration, pilot certification, and airspace restrictions. Businesses must also be aware of local rules and regulations, which may vary by jurisdiction. By following these regulations, businesses can operate drones safely and responsibly, providing valuable support to local industries while ensuring compliance with FAA rules and regulations. | aerospace |

The P-47 was a real break-away from the usual fighter. It was huge and it was powerful. It was huge because of all the plumbing needed for its turbocharged, 2,000 HP R-2800 radial engine. One thing you can say about American aviation at the time; they really knew how to build big, honking radials. This was at a time when European engines of similar design were having a ton of trouble functioning at all and if they were reliable, they were not cranking out that kind of power.
The USAAF thought they had a winner in this big plane and decided to use it as an escort fighter. Well, that didn't work out. Two reasons. One was that it had really poor climbing ability and the other was that it had poor range. Drop tanks were not considered to be the thing to use on an American plane, and even when production got underway, most of the tanks were not built in the US but in small garage companies in the UK! Even with drop tanks, their range was not what was expected, however, they packed a wallop with four .50 calibre machine guns in each wing.
When the brass of the USAAF finally pulled their heads out of their butts so they could listen to their pilots, they started using the Mustang as an escort fighter in late 1943, the P-47s were then free to do what they did best and that is act in the fighter-bomber role. That huge radial engine was a great chunk of armor plating protecting the pilot and when the plane was shot to pieces it still managed to bring the pilot home. There are numerous stories about the survivability of this aircraft. Even post war the plane was in service with the ANG and foreign countries. During Korea the then-USAF lamented about how quickly they scrapped the P-47 as the Mustang was not a great ground attack plane, mainly because of its liquid-cooled engine.
This plastic aircraft kit requires paint and glue to complete.

We had a great flight from Bali to Bali with no issues so we thought we would share. Unfortunately we had to be held up in the airport for over an hour to take the plane back to Bali on the morning after the flight had been delayed. However, when the flight was finally cleared we managed to get the flight back on the tarmac.
What happened is due to the way QZ8501 was flown out of Indonesia. The pilots wanted QZ8501 to be at Bali because it was the last leg of a journey. They had a good backup plan to make sure the plane was flying safely again, but when QZ8501 was in Singapore the pilots decided they would rather do QZ8501 the same way as the previous flight from Bali.
The aircraft had been delayed and they were ready to fly when they were contacted by police authorities. The captain stated that QZ8501 was an “off the books” aircraft. They had not had a passenger checked in to confirm her identity or her luggage, and had no insurance policies. The pilot also stated that they had taken off without any specific instructions from the Indonesian authorities.
The police officials gave no indication to the pilot that they were concerned, only that they were going to make a “strong” determination and allow the aircraft to go. The pilot attempted to바카라사이트 fly the aircraft by putting in a stall warning which would not affect the airspeed. When he attempted to stop the aircraft, he was forced to land in a field because there were no other options. The aircraft suffered several engine damage and required some repairs and maintenance.
The ai카지노 사이트rcraft will be returned to Bali at the earliest. When we last spoke to the pilots they told us the next flight to QZ8501 from Singapore is scheduled for December 31.
Thank you for bearing with us and our staff as we attempt to find out what occurred and get the aircraft back as soon as possible.
We wish the flight crew the best as we are all still looking for answers. | aerospace |

Is rocket science actually hard?
Rocket engineering is genuinely difficult, and is made even more challenging since most rockets are not reusable and hence, when you push the launch button, you’re trying out everything in a real flight for the first time. At the level of the basic science, however, a rocket is pretty simple.
Why do we say rocket science?
A rocket takes off. When someone says that something is not rocket science, it means it’s not difficult. In other words, it’s easy to do or understand. This idiom is probably inspired by the study of rocket science which isn’t exactly easy.
Which is the most difficult subject in the world?
What are the hardest degree subjects?
- Chemistry. Chemistry is famous for being one of the hardest subjects ever, so it’s no surprise that a Chemistry degree is fiercely challenging.
- Biomedical Science.
What science is harder than rocket science?
“I would like to argue that sociology is among the hardest sciences of all — harder than the proverbial rocket science,” he told a black-tie gathering in Washington DC. Controlled experiments are out, Conley reminded the assembled scientific leaders, and causality is often masked by a confusing tangle of variables.
Scientific research in space can be divided into five general areas: (1) solar and space physics, including study of the magnetic and electromagnetic fields in space and the various energetic particles also present, with particular attention to their interactions with Earth, (2) exploration of the planets, moons,
How do I become a NASA rocket scientist?
Rocket scientists in the US are employed by NASA or a similar organization to design and manufacture spacecraft. This requires a minimum of a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, though many people in this industry need or prefer to obtain a higher degree.
How do I start learning rockets?
Here are 4 ways the average person can quickly start learning about rocket science:
- Pursue an Engineering Degree.
- Read Books.
- Watch Videos.
- Take Quizzes.
- Try Some DIY Mini Rocket Building.
How much money does a rocket scientist make?
Salary Ranges for Rocket Scientists The salaries of Rocket Scientists in the US range from $67,850 to $158,700, with a median salary of $107,830. The middle 50% of Rocket Scientists makes between $107,830 and $120,000, with the top 83% making $158,700.
Why do people say this is not rocket science?
Origin of It’s Not Rocket Science The idea behind the expression is that rocket science is a very complicated field, and one must be very smart in order to understand it. A person often says this when someone else is struggling to understand something that the first person thinks should be simple.
Where did not rocket science come from?
The phrase ‘It ain’t rocket science’ originated from USA after the World War 2, after they adopted the sustained programme for the development of Rocket Science. At that time only few German military technologists were the only Rocket Scientists.

It mentioned 17 individuals have been on board together with three crew members and 4 kids, although the emergencies ministry later mentioned there have been 19 individuals on board.
The ministry introduced later that the aircraft had been discovered, apparently after making a “arduous touchdown”, and that survivors had been seen.
Russian information companies quoted officers saying it appeared that every one the passengers and crew had survived.
Information company TASS reported that the An-28 aircraft had handed all security checks however cited a SiLA govt as saying that the flight had been delayed by 10 hours due to dangerous climate.
The newest incident follows a July 6 crash of an An-26 aircraft in Russia’s far japanese Kamchatka peninsula, killing all 28 individuals on board.
Antonov planes have been manufactured in the course of the Soviet period and are nonetheless used all through the previous USSR for civilian and army transport. They’ve been concerned in quite a few accidents in recent times.
A neighborhood transport supply informed the Interfax information company that the aircraft was inbuilt 1989 and utilized by Russian airline Aeroflot and in ex-Soviet Kyrgyzstan earlier than going into service with SiLA in 2014.
The An-28 is a twin-engine mild turboprop aircraft with a traditional capability of 17 passengers.
Russia, as soon as infamous for aircraft accidents, has improved its air site visitors security document in recent times.
However poor plane upkeep and lax security requirements persist.
In Might 2019 a Sukhoi Superjet belonging to the flag provider airline Aeroflot crash-landed and caught fireplace on the runway of a Moscow airport, killing 41 individuals.
In February 2018, a Saratov Airways An-148 plane crashed close to Moscow shortly after take-off, killing all 71 individuals on board. An investigation later concluded that the accident was brought on by human error.

Soon after, we walked freely in the black of outer space and even set foot on the Moon. However, humanity itself stopped there. Today, of course, we’ve sent innumerable spacecrafts on various missions around and even outside the Solar System, yet no human has traveled significantly past the Moon. After all, Mars — the next-closest celestial body to Earth — is around 225,300,000 kilometers away, or around 1,000 times farther than the Moon. To say the least, reaching its red surface would require decades of planning, development and testing. Furthermore, it is not fully understood how human beings might subsist within Mars’ surface conditions.
Increasingly, organizations such as Mars One are confident they have what it takes to eventually make such a voyage. Mars One is radically different from its peers — through largely crowd-sourced funding, it plans to send two teams of astronauts on one-way trips to colonize Mars. . . all in around 12 years. The organization points to the merits of exploration and colonization, despite criticisms of infeasibility and unethicality. All the same, it pushes forward through projected technical infeasibility, drawing closer to what might amount to a suicide mission. Through radical aims and enormous risk taking, Mars One’s mission represents the pinnacle of both necessary ambition and incalculable (so far) folly, a strange paradox in the modern scientific era.
Just as the first ships headed west from Europe, there must be a first voyage to Mars. After all, exploration is innate in mankind, and we will eventually exhaust the Earth’s limited resources. Each of the journeys involves a long, treacherous road through a hostile environment. However, the circumstances are vastly different. Whereas the European-American colonists were met with essentially the same conditions they had left behind, Mars colonists would find themselves in an airless, radiation-heavy environment. At this point, it is impossible to ensure any long-term well being for the Mars colonists. Put simply, death is a real possibility for any who might venture to Mars. For these reasons, many countries have either delayed or scrapped plans to travel to Mars.
As we approach overpopulation and over-exhaustion of resources, though, an initial voyage to Mars becomes more urgent. The necessity of space travel isn’t new to mankind: quite literally, the Cold War drove both the United States and the Soviet Union straight out of the atmosphere. Despite its criticisms, Mars One represents an explorative ambition to rival those of the Cold War. While Cold War-era scientific fervor has stagnated in the United States over the last few decades, space exploration organizations breathe new life into the possibilities of space travel. This simple fact is unavoidable: Mars One has us all talking about space travel. It’s a lively discussion, and one that will certainly become more serious with each year of advanced research and development.
Is Mars One, then, merely a talking piece? At its best, yes. For the same reason most countries and organizations have long-term, removed plans to travel to Mars, Mars One’s short mission timeline stands alone. Why, then, must the organization colonize Mars with such haste? If it simply extended its timeline, it would certainly garner more respect from the scientific community. With additional time, it might also accrue more funding. However, doing so would lose precious momentum that the organization has built up over the last few years. Instead, it remains ambitious, silently cutting corners where necessary. Unfortunately, such actions don’t bode well for the future of the project.
All told, Mars One represents the aspirations that the United States should hold. Mankind’s footprint on the Earth grows with each day, and the Earth’s resources won’t last forever. Of course, these truths lend exactly towards the notion that humans must one day leave Earth behind. When that day comes, space exploration will be of the highest priority. In fact, it’s likely that the next superpower nation will not control land, but rather space. As a world-leading nation with enormous resources and manpower, the US invests scarcely little in NASA. In the interest of mankind’s future, it would be best suited to change that fact, following Mars One’s ambitious example. In the mean time, Mars One’s mission will prove to be either an enormous success or a predictable failure. Either way, it will break the ice for further Mars voyages.

The long term goal is for Beijing to put people on the surface of the moon within the next two decades.
In order to prepare for this, students from Beijing's University of Aeronautics are starting a year-long experiment inside a simulated space cabin called "Yuegong-1", or "Lunar Palace".
The volunteers will live in the sealed lab to simulate a long-term, self-contained space mission with no input from the outside world.
China is pouring billions into its military-run space programme and working to catch up with the United States and Europe, with hopes to have a crewed outpost by 2022.

Unlike unmanned ground vehicles (UGV), building and developing unmanned aircraft models is costly and risky, especially during testing. Therefore, this article proposes a UAV simulation model based on the Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) method for testing the quality of flight controllers, especially to reduce defects and initial costs for the system development process. As a result, the flight algorithms inherited from simulation shall be applied in a number of military applications.

Sean O'Keefe talked to Stennis Space Center employees about their role in future space flights, and the continuing investigation into the Columbia disaster.
"It is just mystifying as to how this happened. We don't know. We can't figure it out yet, but we are going to. We're going to figure out what the cause of that was... and we're going to get back to flying safely," O'Keefe said.
Stennis employees said that kind of encouraging talk gives them confidence for the future.
"I'm encouraged, I really am. And I really think most of us are. It's encouraging to get word from the top," Stennis Worker Robert Bruce said.
"I know in the challenger incident it was two years, and a good part of a third, before we were actually able to fly again. I feel confident that we will be flying a lot sooner than that," Aerospace Engineer Wayne North said.
O'Keefe said there still can be some good that comes from a tragic disaster like losing the Space Shuttle Columbia.
"Witnessing it, it ought to give us an awful lot more resolve that we really are all about, what we are engaged in, is something terribly important. It's not just space flight, it's everything we're engaged in here at NASA," O'Keefe said.
Earlier in the day, O'Keefe was at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans East. That's where the shuttle's external fuel tanks are produced. | aerospace |

As a result of experiencing any deterioration, an aero-engine will seek a different steady operating point thereby resulting in a variation in the high-pressure spool speeds in order to provide the same thrust to keep aircraft’s performance invariant. Any increase in the high-pressure spool speed results in greater low-cycle fatigue damage for the hot-end components and thereby higher engine’s life-cycle costs. Possessing better knowledge (of the impacts of high-pressure turbine’s erosion upon the low-cycle fatigue life-consumption of aero-engine’s hot-end components) helps the users to take wiser management decisions. For a military aircraft’s mission profile, using bespoke computer simulations, the impacts of turbine erosion for high-pressure turbine-blade’s low-cycle fatigue life-consumption have been predicted. | aerospace |

Our payload for NASA SL will include a multi-stage assembly that will lead the upper portion of our rocket to have a vertical landing via landing gear. From there, a small drill bit will deploy and collect a soil sample. This sample will then be loaded into another smaller rocket using a diverter to simulate collecting samples from the surface of Mars. Our payload will also house all the in-flight electronics required of the competition such as GPS tracking and altimeters which will both be completely redundant
ELECTRONICS & RECOVERY
The Electronics/Recovery portion of our mission includes all the inflight computers, the altimeters, GPS tracking, electronics for launch procedures, and electronics involved in the function/release of our payload. All of these systems are not cheap and must be completely redundant due to the rules of the competition. The recovery portion of our mission involves creating a system involving a multi-stage parachute to safely prevent our rocket from crashing to the ground and destroying our payload
Our flight vehicle will be a rocket made of fiberglass that stands about 6ft tall and has a diameter of 5-8 inches, permitting final design changes due to research restrictions and safety. This rocket will have the duty of carrying our payload, and in-flight electronics, up to 1 mile of altitude
Our safety team will create a launch and safety checklist that will be during each launch. Every possible hazard will be identified and a plan will be made in order to prevent these hazards. Each potential hazards will be labeled in a safety index that we have created based on the chance of occurring and the level of danger. Safety will be out number one priority before, during, and after each launch. | aerospace |

They were enormous and fierce, and these fearsome creatures’ reign was undisputed. No living creatures rose to challenge them for dominance and they would still be the sole occupants of our world were it not for a few rocks.
Yes, the most powerful creatures in existence, lords of the planet, were obliterated from the face of the earth, relegated to illustrated history books and occasional skeletal remains unearthed in archeological digs. The proud dinosaurs, complacent in their arrogant conquest of this planet, paid for their hubris when they were wiped out by meteors.
Space rocks are deserving of respect. They are fast. Asteroids travel 15 miles per second. Meteors, asteroids’ smaller cousins, travel 100 time faster than a rifle bullet, up to 46 miles per second. The dinosaurs never saw it coming.
Today, in unrelated events, an asteroid sideswiped the Earth and a meteor struck the planet. Asteroid 2012 DA14 skimmed closer to our planet than any other known asteroid in recorded history. The 55-foot-long, 130,000-ton asteroid came within Earth’s geosynchronous orbit. Our geostationary satellites orbit the Earth 22,300 miles above the planet; Asteroid 2012 DA14 buzzed us, zooming by at only 17,100 miles above the ground. In space terms, that’s a close shave. But there was no need to worry. You see, Asteroid 2012 DA14 has a name. Astronomers spotted it last year, named it, and tracked it. In fact, scientists have studied this asteroid so extensively they can predict its path for most of the 21st century. NASA has a space probe tracking asteroids and international observatories send NASA's Minor Planet Center their findings to add to its database of all known asteroids in our solar system. Had Asteroid 2012 DA14 appeared on a trajectory to strike the Earth, we had the time and the means to launch a man-made projectile that would nudge an asteroid enough to make it miss us. Which is a good thing, because if an asteroid did hit the planet, it would strike with the force of a 1 million megaton bomb and wipe out everything on Earth.
Meteors are another story. Being smaller, meteors weigh less than asteroids, so unless we get struck by a meteor storm, a single meteor will do limited damage. The one that hit Russia’s remote Ural mountains today weighed only 10 tons. Still, the shock waves from the sonic boom in its wake injured 1,000 people and damaged homes and businesses in the Chelyabinsk region. By the time it had breached Earth’s atmosphere, the meteor’s speed had slowed to a paltry 33,000 mph. But in space, it was much faster, traveling up to 46 miles per second. A lot faster and a lot smaller than an asteroid. That’s why it never had a name — we never saw it coming. Our space agencies are not set up to detect meteors approaching Earth. We could do it; the technology exists. But our government has not provided the funding required to build and calibrate the equipment to do so.
Meteorites fall to Earth several times a year, but large meteor crashes like the one in Russia are rare (It was the biggest and most destructive since the 1908 Tunguska, Siberia meteor crash). The government is gambling on that, so it can save its shekels for wars and tax cuts for the wealthy. Of course, had that meteor struck New York City, Manhattan would have been obliterated. Still, we are the dominant life on the planet, too big to fall. We can afford to be parsimonious with our tax dollars.
Such hubris is worthy of the dinosaurs. | aerospace |

Although flight emergencies are seen as a specific issue, they have gained importance due to the fact that airline transportation has become the most important domestic and international transportation tool actively used in almost every country today. Flight emergencies have become more important due to the gradual increase in passenger capacity and flight distances of aircraft in recent years. In general, there is no obligation to have a medical staff such as a doctor or nurse on duty to provide emergency medical assistance in case of the possibility of encountering emergency medical situations on commercial flights. However, first aid training is required for every aircraft personnel. With the increase in the number of flights around the world, the number of emergency medical conditions and deaths seen during flight has started to increase. 1 death is reported for every 1.5-4.7 billion passenger miles. In this review, information about emergency medical conditions encountered during flight, their management, emergency medical supplies and medicines to be found on board and the measures taken and to be taken on aircraft during the Covid-19 process are presented. | aerospace |

The destinations include Guangzhou in China, Seoul in South Korea, Tokyo in Japan, Taiwan, Vientiane in Laos and Phnom Penh in Cambodia.
The Transport Ministry will work with its counterparts in these countries and regions on the flight resumption plan.
Under the plan, some 2,500-3,000 passengers will be flown to Vietnam on regular international flights every week, aside from 1,000-1,500 Vietnamese citizens returning home on repatriation flights and foreign experts arriving in Vietnam for work via charter flights.
Passengers boarding these flights to enter Vietnam have to possess appropriate visas while undergoing flight procedures and comply with the country’s quarantine requirements.
The ministry also suggested that these international flights be operated on the routes of Guangzhou-Danang, Tokyo-Hanoi, Seoul-Hanoi, Taipei-HCMC, Vientiane-Quang Ninh and Phnom Penh-Can Tho, after considering their geographical conditions, quarantine capacity and equivalence of departures and arrivals.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam asked local carriers to operate one weekly flight per destination aimed at effectively deploying cabin crew, who are serving repatriation flights arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The carriers will be allowed to increase the flight frequency once the coronavirus pandemic is contained and their partner airlines increase the number of flights and air routes.
Further, the Government leader suggested asking the Foreign Affairs Ministry to direct its representative offices overseas to work with the competent agencies in these countries and regions to create favorable conditions to grant permits to these flights.
The Health Ministry was urged to issue quarantine guidelines for passengers entering the country and cabin crew. | aerospace |

“The Department of the Air Force remains committed… to meet these critical requirements in a timely, efficient, and cost effective manner.”
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Ed Markey (D-Mass.), along with Representatives Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), Lori Trahan (D-Mass.), and Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), today released a letter from the Air Force, sharing construction completion timelines, cost estimates, and confirming the Department of the Air Force’s commitment to continue working in partnership “to meet these critical requirements in a timely, efficient, and cost effective manner.”
“Massachusetts has long been a leader in science and technology, and I’m pleased to hear that West Lab Project’s revitalization efforts are moving forward at Hanscom Air Force Base,” said Senator Elizabeth Warren. “Lincoln Laboratory’s work is critical to advance our national security and I look forward to working with my federal, state, and local partners to continue moving this project along.”
“Massachusetts is the revolutionary state, including 21st century revolutionary technology, ” said Senator Ed Markey. “I am grateful for the Air Force’s response to our delegation’s letter. The Defense Department must ensure that West Lab remains on track and has the funding necessary so that our Commonwealth can continue to serve as a trailblazer and create cutting-edge technologies critical to U.S. security.”
“Thanks to the advocacy of our federal delegation, the Air Force clearly recognizes the importance of Lincoln Laboratory’s West Lab Project at Hanscom Air Force Base,” said Representative Lori Trahan. “We will continue working across every level of government and with our partners in the private sector to advance this project, which will be critical in building on Massachusetts’ long history of fostering innovation and unlocking breakthroughs to protect our national security.”
“I'm glad to learn that the construction of West Lab Project at Hanscom Air Force Base is progressing and will be completed in 2026," said Representative Katherine Clark. "This is a critical project when it comes to our military readiness and strengthening our national security. Massachusetts is eager for this innovation space to open so we can continue to lead America forward.”
Last month, the lawmakers wrote to Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall requesting budgetary, schedule, and execution updates on both the Compound Semi-Conductor Laboratory and Microelectronic Integration Facility (CSL-MIF) and the Engineering Prototyping Facility (EPF) at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts.
- Last year Senator Warren secured $2 million for superconducting microelectronics at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory in the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.
- In September 2021, Senators Warren and Markey sent a letter to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) seeking information about whether the USACE request for proposals (RFP) for the construction of the new CSL-MIF at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory includes the option for a Project Labor Agreement (PLA).
- In February 2013, Senators Warren and Markey, along with Representatives William Cowan (D-Mass.), Richard Neal (D-Mass.), James McGovern (D-Mass.), John Tiernet (D-Mass.), Michael Capuano (D-Mass.), Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Niki Tsongas (D-Mass.), William Keating (D-Mass.), and Joseph Kennedy (D-Mass.), sent a letter to Defense Secretary Ashton Carter about the urgent need for modernization of the facilities at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Rodney McKnight, Jr. took off from Auburn and was forced to make other plans when the engine of his Cessna 150 stalled at 3,500 ft.
McKnight, 24, made the decision to land the plane on a Mississippi freeway. News 3 was the only local station to catch up with the fast-acting pilot Tuesday. He says he was able to stay calm an collected, allowing him to land the plane safely. McKnight tells News 3 prior military experience made all the difference in the impromptu event.
“I wasn’t scared, I wasn’t nervous. I credit my maturity and being able to maintain bearing mostly because of the Marine Corps,” McKnight said. “I have been in situations that I had to think and use critical thinking skills under pressure, and it directly affects the safety of people.”
The pilot and his passenger walked away unscathed. No drivers or any others were hurt in the emergency landing. | aerospace |

VERY LOW — No flares in the past two days.
SIDC reports solar activity was at very low levels, and is expected to remain so. A barely visible sunspot group (Catania 40) is trying to develop at location N19W01. No earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) were observed in available coronagraphic imagery. The greater than 10 MeV proton flux remained slightly above background levels.
A partial halo CME was detected by CACTus on 28/05:36UT July emanating from behind the northeast limb with a plane-of-the-sky speed near 600 km/s. The source is old active region NOAA 2665 which is currently on the Sun's farside and expected to round the east limb on 31 July. The CME is not directed to Earth, but STEREO-A is likely to be impacted.
Solar wind speed varied steadily between 430-450 km/s until 06UT, when it shifted up to a range between 450 and 490 km/s (DSCOVR). Bz oscillated between -6 and +5 nT during the entire period. The interplanetary magnetic field was mostly directed away from the Sun. A small negative equatorial coronal hole (CH) is transiting the central meridian.
Finally, SIDC reports the geomagnetic field was at quiet to unsettled levels, and is expected to remain so. The particle stream associated with the aforementioned CH may start influencing the earth environment late on 30 or on 31 July, with active geomagnetic conditions possible.

If the financing of Ariane 6, the main French workhorse, has been assured, the event seems to confirm a complicated period for European space.
If Bruno Lemaire described the Seville space summit as a “decisive turning point in European space history”, the main players in the continental space sector were more measured. It must be said that the two heads of the ESA gondola, Ariane 6 and the Vega-C launcher, a series of disappointments. Indeed, while the last flight of Ariane 5 took place in July 2023, the development program ofAriane 6 is behind schedule, mainly due to numerous technical problems. The Vega-C launcher is still currently grounded after thefailure of its first commercial launch – because of a defective Ukrainian part – last December 23. In fact, Europe is today not more sovereign regarding its launches: it must count on American launchers to put satellites into orbit, and is no longer capable of sending astronauts into space on its own. An unprecedented situation, which illustrates an unprecedented decline in Europe on the global space scene.
Thus, the Seville space summit, if it does not provide an immediate long-term response, has the merit of perpetuating the immediate future of European space, in this case Ariane 6 and Vega-C.
Securing financing for Ariane 6
Three important decisions were taken at the Seville summit, each of which in its own way pleased the three countries which mainly finance the ESAnamely France, Germany and Italy.
First, Ariane 6. France managed to find a compromise with Germany and Italy to finance the Ariane 6 program to the tune of 340 million euros per year, between its 16th and 42nd launch. These subsidies, 55% of which are provided by France, are a breath of fresh air for the numerous French industrialists who are working on the development of the sixth heavy launcher in the history of Ariane, first and foremost Airbus and Safran. Remember that the first 15 launches of Ariane 6 are already guaranteed by a previously concluded agreement. Also, the agreement provides for 4 institutional launches per year. In return, manufacturers involved in the Ariane 6 program will have to pay a cost reduction of 11% per year over the period which includes the 42 launches.
Italy, for its part, also did well. In fact, the Italian company Avio is taking over the marketing of the Vega-C rocket, to the detriment of Ariane Espace. This is a long-standing request from the Italian manufacturer, which also obtains 21 million euros as well as three launches, all each year.
Finally, Germany also obtained what it came for, namely competition between suppliers, particularly with regard to mini launchers. A victory for the German space sector, whose ecosystem is made up of numerous players developing mini launchers with high potential. The icing on the cake is that the ESA plans aid of up to 150 million euros for most promising innovative projects. The competition is only just beginning.
Finally, the last notable decision, the release of 75 million euros for the development of a cargo transport service to the International Space Station by 2028. | aerospace |

Five instruments have been integrated on board, including the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI), a spectrometer based on a custom HORIBA Jobin Yvon (HJY) concave diffraction grating.
The mission is based on two identical satellites orbiting in constellation to optimize the global coverage and data delivery. The second satellite Sentinel-3B will be launched in 2017 and is equipped with an OLCI instrument containing an identical, high grade HJY grating.
The mission is the result of close collaboration between the ESA and CNES space agencies, along with over a hundred organizations, which include THALES ALENIA SPACE as the global leader of the satellite project, SODERN in charge of the spectrometer manufacturing, and of course HORIBA JOBIN YVON who supplied the customized diffraction gratings.
“This is the third of the Sentinel satellites launched in less than two years – and it is certainly a special moment (…) with Sentinel-3 providing a whole range of new data, with unprecedented coverage of the oceans,” said the Director of ESA’s Earth Observation Programmes, Volker Liebig.
The OLCI instrument is a medium-resolution imaging spectrometer, based on the Envisat’s* MERIS spectrometer. The key optical component of this spectrograph is the concave holographic grating manufactured by HORIBA Jobin Yvon, with a groove density close to 130 gr/mm and dimensions of 70x46 mm working on the VIS-NIR spectral range. Thanks to the holographic recording and space-qualified (TRL 9) replication process, these gratings exhibited an optimized efficiency level on the spectral range of interest, a low stray light and no ghost.
OLCI features 21 distinct bands in the 400-1020 nm spectral region tuned to specific ocean colour, vegetation and atmospheric correction measurement requirements. Thanks to its 5 cameras, this instrument offers a spatial resolution of 300 m for all measurements, a swath width of 1270 km, and will provide global coverage of the entire earth globe every two days. OLCI’s new eyes on Earth will monitor ocean ecosystems, support agriculture and provide data of atmospheric aerosol and clouds – all of which can bring significant societal benefits in many application fields.
Over oceans, it will measure the temperature, colour and height of the sea surface, as well as the thickness of sea ice. These measurements will be used, for example, to monitor changes in Earth’s climate or in water pollution. Over land, this innovative mission will monitor vegetation health, detect forest wildfires and measure the height of rivers and lakes.
More generally, all of this data is completely available for any user worldwide, and will also be used to improve in weather forecasting.
The satellite has already delivered impressive first images thanks to its OLCI instrument.

“The Moon seems to have presented a substantial protective barrier against the solar wind for the Earth, which was critical to Earth’s ability to maintain its atmosphere during this time,” said Jim Green, NASA’s chief scientist and lead author of the study, as reported by Business Insider India.
The scientists created a computer model to simulate the behavior of the magnetic fields of the two orbs. The magnetospheres of the Moon and Earth would have been magnetically connected in the polar regions of each body. At certain times, the Moon’s magnetosphere would have served as a barrier to harsh solar radiation bombarding the Earth-Moon system.
The model also suggests that there was some atmospheric exchange as well. The Sun’s radiation would have charged neutral particles in the Earth’s upper atmosphere, enabling them to travel to the Moon along the lunar magnetic lines. The process might have contributed to the Moon maintaining a thin atmosphere, including nitrogen.
As the Moon cooled and lost its magnetosphere, solar wind stripped the atmosphere away.
Radiation will be a major hazard of living on the Moon, especially for anyone not behind protective shielding. The release of energy from solar flares has been difficult to forecast. Now four Japanese scientists with Nagoya University and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan have developed a model, based on observations of the sun from 2008 to 2018, for predicting large solar flares. In an article published in Science, they say that “in most cases” the model correctly identifies the region of the sun that will produce large flares within 20 hours and, within limits, how powerful it will be.
However, say the authors, the model does produce some false positives and false negatives. “Accurate predictions of solar flares could improve forecasts of space weather conditions around Earth,” they say. Presumably, those predictions apply to the Moon as well. Here is the abstract for the paper in Science.
Solar flares are highly energetic events in the Sun’s corona that affect Earth’s space weather. The mechanism that drives the onset of solar flares is unknown, hampering efforts to forecast them, which mostly rely on empirical methods. We present the κ-scheme, a physics-based model to predict large solar flares through a critical condition of magnetohydrodynamic instability, triggered by magnetic reconnection. Analysis of the largest (X-class) flares from 2008 to 2019 (during solar cycle 24) shows that the κ-scheme predicts most imminent large solar flares, with a small number of exceptions for confined flares. We conclude that magnetic twist flux density, close to a magnetic polarity inversion line on the solar surface, determines when and where solar flares may occur and how large they can be.
The Parker Solar Probe has yielded considerable insight into the formation and structure of solar winds, providing scientists that hopefully will help them better predict when mammoth ejections of solar material will occur. Coronal mass ejections can disable communications and defense satellites and can harm astronauts outside of Earth’s protective electromagnetic field.
Launched in August 2018, the probe has passed closer to the sun than at any previous spacecraft in history. The vessel is equipped with a suite of high-tech instruments engineered to withstand the sun’s blistering heat — it will pass within 15 million miles of the sun, compared to the 36 million miles of Mercury’s orbit. Instruments include five antennas, an image maker, and devices that measure the energies of different particles.
The mission’s goal is to “understand the sources and structure of the solar wind up close right as it leaves the sun,” said physicist Stuart Bale of the University of California-Berkeley, in the press conference reported by Popular Mechanics. “What Parker has done has got us closer than ever to the Sun and now we can really see a lot of structure and we can see in this case we can clearly see a source of the wind.”
The Moon may not have an atmosphere, but it does have “weather” after a fashion. Researchers have found that the particles in solar wind appear to interact with the Moon in an unexpected way, reports the Daily Mail.
The solar particles interact with the Earth’s magnetic field to create the aurora borealis. But the Moon lacks a magnetic field, so scientists thought it passively absorbed the solar wind. But measurements made by Indian’s Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter have revealed that 10% of the solar wind is reflected back into space, creating turbulence as solar wind streams past the Moon. Vortexes billow onto the dark side of the Moon.
Charles Lue, a researcher at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics, has found that the reflection of solar wind varies with localized magnetic fields on the lunar surface.
Explains the Daily Mail:
In areas with strong magnetism, caused by iron in the crust, the solar wind flow is restricted, while adjacent areas receive increased flow. This results in unusual spirals of ions streaming off the dayside of the moon, where the solar wind strikes first, to the nightside.
The weathering of the moon’s surface by the solar wind may be less than previously predicted, which could mean there is less water hidden beneath the crust. Said Lue: “The reduced solar wind weathering allows us to separate micro-meteorite and solar wind-inducing weathering, including the effects of different solar wind species, differently well shielded.”
The Moon’s thin atmosphere contains neon, NASA’s Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft has confirmed.
“The presence of neon in the exosphere of the moon has been a subject of speculation since the Apollo missions, but no credible detections were made,” said Mehdi Benna of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in a NASA press release. “We were very pleased to not only finally confirm its presence, but to show that it is relatively abundant.”
Because the Moon’s atmosphere is so tenuous, about 100 trillion times less dense than Earth’s atmosphere are sea level, the volume of neon is minute.
Most of the gases in the exosphere — primarily neon, argon, and helium — comes from the solar win, a stream of electrically conducting gas blown from the surface of the sun into space at about one million miles per hour. All of these elements impact the Moon, but only helium, neon and argon are volatile enough to return to space. A portion of the helium, argon, and neon in the lunar exosphere comes from naturally occurring radioactive potassium-40, thorium, and uranium found naturally in lunar rocks. more “Neon Found in Lunar Atmosphere” | aerospace |

Stephan Jukic – April 10, 2016
Elon Musk isn’t just famous for his remarkable Tesla Motors electric cars, or Tesla’s enormous futuristic car manufacturing plants. The billionaire’s interests also extend well beyond the planet into deep space and the future prospects of colonizing Mars. This is where the SpaceX company fall into the picture, while also heavily involved in practical space launch expeditions for resupply of the ISS and other orbital explorations, SpaceX is also gearing up for much longer, more ambitious voyages.
With this in mind, the company’s recently-developed Falcon 9 rocket has been undergoing unmanned test landings under different conditions, most difficult among them a slow deceleration landing aboard a drone ship out in the ocean. This is what the company most recently pulled off after launching the Falcon 9 rocket that landed into orbital space first.
This is the first time the company has ever pulled off a landing like this and also its second time the company has managed to land one of its rockets post-launch under any conditions. These are small steps but they’re nonetheless crucial and impressive to behold in crystal clear 4K video, for the glimpse of a potential private space exploration future they show.
With that said, for those of you who are major fans of either interesting ultra HD viewing experiences or space exploration itself, the 4K ultra HD video of the Falcon 9 landing on the sea-based drone ship is some seriously impressive footage, along with being a very cool record of what many would call a historic event.
SpaceX recently released their footage in ultra HD and with the extra detail that comes included, you get a rather unique glimpse into just how the sophisticated rocketry and navigation technology manages to work under these extremely tricky conditions. Now, without further ado, take a look for yourself. It’s downright impressive to see how close to the bulls eye marker on the drone platform vessel the rocket managed to land. The whole thing is impressive quite frankly, something that definitely opens up a couple of scifi visions in the mind.

The C-130 is the main cargo plane for the United States Air Force, but also serves as a logistical hub for other international partners.
Its predecessor, the C-124, has been retired for good, but a new version is expected to come online soon.
Its main mission is to deliver cargo to military bases overseas.
In a recent CNN interview, C-131 pilot Mark Rader said the C130 is designed to be an excellent trainer.
“We’re doing a lot of stuff to make it a very good trainer, and I think we’re doing the right things, to be sure,” he said.
This is the second time the plane has been in trouble.
In 2015, the aircraft had to be grounded due to an engine failure, and a maintenance worker was injured.
A year later, the plane was grounded again after a fire broke out.
The pilot said the maintenance crew had not been properly trained and had not met the C135 training requirements.
The C-135J SuperHercules are currently the only C-129 air cargo planes in service.
The SuperHepes have been flying since 2001 and have a capacity of about 2,200 people.
In 2016, C130 jets were grounded due a fire at the New Orleans airport.
A C-125 plane was also grounded in February due to a fire in Chicago.
Airbus also is operating a C-127 plane from its Boeing-built terminal at the Atlanta airport.
The aircraft is the only domestic passenger air cargo flight operated by Boeing.
In 2019, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs warned of a spike in foodborne cases in the Philippines, which has a population of roughly 8.5 million.
The UN has warned that a rise in food-borne cases is also linked to an increase in the number of people in the country, which is currently home to about 70 million.
The Philippines, however, says its health system is better than that of the Philippines and that the number is far below the official figures.

Crews using helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and search-and-rescue ships spent the day looking for and retrieving debris from the Boeing 737-500 that went down minutes after taking off from the capital, Jakarta, on Saturday afternoon. Authorities have also found human body parts and expect to use DNA testing to identify the victims, a Jakarta police spokesman said.
The plane, which was on a domestic flight to Pontianak on Indonesia’s Borneo island, was delayed before it took off Saturday afternoon due to inclement weather. Shortly after it was airborne, it made an unexpected turn, flying northwest, prompting air-traffic control to ask the plane to report its direction, the transportation ministry said. Seconds later, the aircraft disappeared from the radar, at 2:40 p.m. local time.
Authorities began search operations near a series of islands on the outskirts of Jakarta called Kepulauan Seribu, or Thousand Islands. They homed in on the area near Laki Island where the waters appeared of an unusual color and flow, potentially indicating an oil spill and burned fuselage connected to the crash, an air force official, Henri Alfiandi, said in a televised interview Sunday. | aerospace |

These briefings are crucial for both pilots and crew members to communicate critical information, address potential risks, and coordinate operational procedures. In this blog post, we will discuss effective methods for conducting pre-flight and post-flight briefings that can help enhance communication, streamline processes, and ultimately contribute to a successful flight operation.
Preparation for Pre-Flight Briefings
An necessary step in ensuring a successful pre-flight briefing is thorough preparation. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the flight plan, weather conditions, any potential risks or challenges, and relevant NOTAMs. It is crucial to have all necessary documentation and materials ready before the briefing to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
Key Components of a Pre-Flight Briefing
For a pre-flight briefing to be effective, several key components must be included. These typically consist of discussing the route to be flown, weather conditions along the route, alternate airports, fuel requirements, and any pertinent operational information. It is also important to address any special considerations or deviations from the standard operating procedures during the briefing.
PreFlight briefings are not only critical for ensuring the safety and efficiency of a flight but also for promoting effective communication and coordination among the flight crew. By adhering to a structured format and covering all necessary components, pilots can enhance situational awareness and mitigate potential risks before takeoff.
Conducting the Pre-Flight Briefing
Now, before commenceing on any flight, it is crucial for pilots to conduct a pre-flight briefing to ensure a safe and smooth journey. This briefing sets the tone for the upcoming flight, emphasizing critical information that all crew members need to be aware of. To learn more about conducting an effective pre-flight briefing, you can refer to this resource: Conducting an Effective Flight Review.
Effective Communication Strategies
The pre-flight briefing should focus on effective communication strategies to ensure that all crew members clearly understand their roles and responsibilities. Clear and concise instructions should be given, and open channels of communication should be maintained throughout the briefing process to address any questions or concerns that may arise.
Utilizing Visual Aids and Checklists
For a comprehensive pre-flight briefing, utilizing visual aids and checklists can significantly enhance the understanding and retention of critical information. Visual aids such as maps, diagrams, and slides can help reinforce key points, while checklists ensure that no vital steps are overlooked in the pre-flight preparation process.
Conciseness in the use of visual aids and checklists is imperative. They should be clear and to the point, focusing on the most crucial aspects of the pre-flight briefing without overwhelming the crew with unnecessary information. By keeping visual aids and checklists concise, pilots can effectively convey vital information while maximizing crew comprehension and readiness for the upcoming flight.
Many pilots understand the importance of preflight briefings to ensure a safe and efficient flight. However, the value of post-flight briefings should not be underestimated. These briefings are important for reviewing the flight experience, identifying areas for improvement, and sharing insights with other pilots. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), post-flight briefings play a crucial role in enhancing pilot performance and maintaining a high level of safety in aviation operations.
Briefings after a flight, commonly known as debriefing sessions, are vital for reflecting on the performance during the flight. Pilots gather to discuss various aspects of the flight, including challenges faced, decisions made, and any deviations from the plan. Debriefing allows pilots to share insights, learn from each other’s experiences, and improve their skill sets for future flights.
Learning from the Flight Experience
Any pilot’s experience during a flight is a valuable learning opportunity. Whether it’s encountering unexpected weather conditions, navigating complex airspace, or managing in-flight emergencies, there are always lessons to be learned. By reflecting on these experiences during post-flight briefings, pilots can enhance their decision-making abilities, refine their skills, and ultimately become safer and more proficient aviators.
The post-flight briefing session also provides an opportunity to discuss any maintenance issues encountered during the flight, ensuring that the aircraft is in optimal condition for the next operation. Pilots can collaborate with maintenance personnel to address any concerns promptly, contributing to the overall safety and efficiency of future flights.
Best Practices and Tools
Leveraging Technology in Briefings
Your pre-flight and post-flight briefings can benefit greatly from leveraging technology. Use digital tools such as briefing apps, electronic flight bags, and cloud-based collaboration platforms to streamline the briefing process, ensure accurate information dissemination, and increase efficiency. These tools allow for real-time updates, easy access to important data, and seamless communication among team members.
The key to conducting effective briefings lies in continuous improvement. Regularly solicit feedback from team members and stakeholders to identify areas for enhancement. Implement a feedback loop mechanism to incorporate suggestions and address any shortcomings in the briefing process. Through a commitment to learning and adapting, you can refine your briefing techniques and improve overall effectiveness.
For continuous improvement in your briefings, consider establishing metrics to measure the success of each briefing session. Track key performance indicators such as briefing duration, comprehension levels among participants, and the accuracy of information shared. Analyzing these metrics can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of your briefings and help you make data-driven decisions to enhance future sessions.
Leveraging data analytics tools can also aid in identifying trends and patterns in briefing performance, allowing you to pinpoint areas that require attention and further refinement. By harnessing the power of technology and analytics, you can continuously improve your briefings and ensure they remain a valuable and efficient aspect of your operations.
Effective methods for conducting pre-flight and post-flight briefings are imperative in ensuring a safe and smooth operation in aviation. By following a structured format, providing relevant information, encouraging open communication, and emphasizing safety protocols, flight crew members can effectively prepare for flights and debrief afterwards. These briefings not only enhance teamwork and situational awareness but also contribute to the overall safety and success of the flight operation. It is imperative that flight crew members diligently follow these briefing procedures to mitigate risks, address concerns, and uphold the highest standards of aviation safety. | aerospace |

The military has been under a lot of eyes recently for the way that they use drones, but there are actually several different ways that drones are used in the armed forces. These types of aerial vehicles have revolutionized the way that the modern military works and has allowed many people to perform their duties without having to leave their home base or without having to put their lives in danger.
There is a big future in drones, but the agriculture just might be one of the industries that benefits the most. In fact, once the FAA decides what will be regulated, this is something that will completely revolutionize the industry.
With the move towards cleaner, long term energy, it should be no surprise that there are now drones coming out that rely on solar power. In particular, there are a few drones that are attempting to fly for even years at a time!

By this point, everyone has heard about the Predator drones that are roaming the sky in the middle east, but what will the future look like?
Many of the drones that are currently available rely on the quadcopter form for a number of reasons, but what does it really mean? What are the benefits of quadcopters over other types?
With the growing popularity of drones, there is a conversation that has begun over whether or not commercial drones are a danger to planes that are flying through the area. Wouldn’t it just be like any bird hitting a plane?
Privacy concerns with drones aren’t going to go anywhere soon, but there are now ways that you can defend yourself against spying drones that the people around you might have. This can take a couple of different forms, but the general idea is that you are going to make it impossible for someone to spy on you at home, even if they have a tiny drone with a camera attached to it. | aerospace |

Videos on social media have shown people rushing the tarmac and climbing up the stairs of loaded planes and flights preparing to go in the air in hopes of boarding a flight.
As a result, seven people have died, including some who fell from a departing American military transport jet, according to the Associated Press. Amid the chaos, some Afghans were able to board a departing U.S. Air Force plane.
According to U.S. defense and security news site Defense One, the plane, a U.S. Air Force C-17, evacuated around 640 people on Sunday night, hours after the Taliban secured control of Kabul over the Afghanistan government. It was also reported the plane wasn’t expected to have that many people, but more were able to board the aircraft through its half-open ramp before making its way to the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
People on social media shared their thoughts after seeing the stunning image. Some people credited the pilots of the flight for allowing that many people on the plane. According to Forbes, the pilots of the C-17 jet pilot belonging to the Delaware-based 436th Airlift Wing told flight controllers they thought they had 800 people on board. The plane typically holds around 150 soldiers but can take up to 171,000 lbs. of cargo.
“How many people are on your jet? 800 people on your jet? Holy cow… Good job getting off the ground!” the controller can be heard saying in what appears to be audio between the controller and the pilots. While the flight had hundreds of people aboard, social media users noticed fewer women inside the plane. With the Taliban in control, people wondered if women would be oppressed again given their restricted freedoms when the Taliban last had control of Kabul in 1994. | aerospace |

Inmarsat has reported the launch of Fleet Media, the entertainment service it announced last year which will see a variety of content delivered to commercial vessels at sea, and available to crew on demand.
Inmarsat has appointed Applied Satellite Technology Ltd (AST) as a Value Added Reseller (VAR) for its Global Xpress (GX) network, serving maritime and enterprise.
California-based startup LinkWav is offering tailored FleetBroadband airtime plans that it claims could save customers up to 50 per cent on Inmarsat annual plans.
Inmarsat reports that the second satellite in its Global Xpress (GX) constellation was launched successfully on Sunday February 1 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Inmarsat has announced its intention to follow a new ‘open technology strategy’ for applications for its Global Xpress (GX) network, making a set of APIs available to developers that will allow them to make use of GX capabilities that would not otherwise be accessible.
Reports in Russian media have claimed that the launch of Inmarsat’s second Global Xpress (GX) satellite has been delayed once more, due to a malfunction with the Boeing-manufactured I-5 F2 – though this time the schedule has been pushed back by only two days.
Intellian reports that both its 65cm GX60 and 1m GX100 VSAT terminals for Global Xpress (GX) have been type approved by Inmarsat engineers following live system tests at sea on the Ka-band network.
Inmarsat has made a change to the branding of its hybrid product combining FleetBroadband with regional Global Xpress Ka-band coverage on its current single operational I-5 satellite, with the service now called FleetBroadband Xtra.
Reports in Russia have revealed that the Inmarsat-5 F2 communications satellite, the second satellite for the company’s Global Xpress Ka-band network, has been scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on January 30, carried on board the Russian Proton-M rocket.

Originally scheduled for 2017, but delayed by the (unrelated) launch failure of its heavy-lift Long March 5 vehicle, China’s lunar sample return mission is launching next week. Chang’e-5 will collect and return about 2 kg of samples, the first lunar samples since the 1970s. Chang’e-5 consists of an ambitious four spacecraft fleet—a propulsion module to bring the vehicles into lunar orbit, a lander to collect samples, an ascent vehicle to carry the samples into orbit, and a return module that will receive the samples via orbital rendezvous and bring them to Earth. The lander is targeting the Mons Rümker formation on the near side of the Moon to collect relatively young (~1.21 billion years old) volcanic samples during one lunar daytime (14 Earth days—it can’t stay longer since it doesn’t have radioisotope heater units like Chang’e-4). To bleed off speed, the return vehicle will use a ‘skip reentry’ in which it bounces off the upper atmosphere once, as tested in the 2014 Chang’e-5-T1 test mission. It’s sibling, Chang’e-6, was built at the same time and will either serve as a backup if Chang’e-5 fails, or be repurposed for a south pole landing in a couple of years.

¶“All for one. Crew-1 for all.” After a month-long delay, due to the now-resolved issue with new Merlin engines’ potential for a lacquer-clogged relief valve, NASA certified Crew Dragon and Falcon 9 for routine crewed flights to the ISS and subsequently launched Crew-1 last Sunday. After a nominal liftoff and 27-hour transit to the station, with only a few minor hiccups along the way, the four astronauts (Victor Glover, Soichi Noguchi, Shannon Walker, and Michael Hopkins) joined the existing crew of three on Monday evening 📺. Victor Glover became the first Black astronaut to crew the station. In another first, the FAA licensed this crewed flight for NASA, much like it does commercial airline flights—perhaps this sets us on a path to commercial crewed launches becoming a common occurrence. Crew-2 is scheduled to launch on the same Falcon 9 booster as Crew-1 while also reusing the Crew Dragon capsule from Demo-2. It’s currently scheduled for NET 30 March 2021. Crew-3 will continue the 6-month cadence, launching next fall.
- It looks likely that a supernova exploded near our solar system around 2.5 million years ago (paper). Evidence comes from elevated concentrations of two metal isotopes known to be formed in supernovae: 53Mn and 60Fe. 60Fe has a half-life of 2.6 million years, so we know that it cannot be too old. And, while the iron isotope can also be created by some types of stars, the manganese isotope can not—finding them together is strong evidence for a recent and nearby supernova. This supernova likely formed the local bubble, and its particles could have triggered cloud formation on Earth, and thus maybe even the Pleistocene epoch of ice ages, a megafauna extinction, and (very speculatively) an acceleration of our ancestors’ move to bipedalism.
- Scott Manley covers 📺 the GW190521 black hole merger event (as seen by gravitational wave telescopes) which released enormous amounts of energy—9 solar masses worth of mass were converted directly into gravitational energy in a fraction of a second—and demonstrates a new class of intermediate-mass black hole (paper).
- Speaking of gravitational wave telescopes, think building detectors kilometers long that are sensitive enough to detect a ripple in spacetime 10,000 times smaller than a proton is hard? Imagine building one on the Moon (paper).
- The gravitational waves mentioned above all have frequencies measured in hertz. However, 12 years of pulsar timing data released by NANOGrav (paper) may show evidence of a long-period (nanohertz!) gravitational wave background, prompting people to claim evidence of cosmic strings, dark matter radiation, and more.
| ¶News in brief. Virgin Galactic’s VSS Unity test flight should happen this week—it will carry payloads from NASA’s Flight Opportunities Program; the US Senate appropriations bill does not meet NASA’s budget request for a 2024 Artemis landing; an Indian PSLV vehicle deployed 10 satellites, including India’s EOS 1 radar imaging satellite, four of Spire’s Lemur-2 CubeSats, and four of Kleos Space’s radio-frequency triangulation CubeSats—the latter company just raised $13.8 million to continue building their radio mapping constellation; a second cable failed at Arecibo, causing more damage; Starship SN8 melted the internals of one of its Raptor engines during its third static fire test, which resulted in loss of pneumatic control that led to a header tank not venting—the vehicle was only saved from an over-pressure RUD by a burst disc; Astrobotic received a $5.7M Tipping Point contract from NASA to develop a magnetic resonance-based wireless charging system for small lunar rovers (we’re hoping it fairs better than Apple’s AirPower); NASA and ESA’s Mars Sample Return mission reached another important milestone with NASA’s independent review approving of its technical feasibility and recommending that the program proceed; ESA signed a trio of Copernicus contracts worth 1.3 billion euros—meanwhile, the in-orbit Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite can now spot the nitrogen dioxide plumes from individual ships from space; an Atlas V successfully launched NROL-101; and, it looks like Earth has indeed re-captured a 1960s era rocket booster.|
- To Moon or moon? We have chosen ‘Moon’ (but we’ll still probably slip up).
- Casey Handmer makes the case for affordable space stations. (Of which the ISS isn’t— he calculates that, all in, research hours on the ISS have cost at least $2 million/hour.)
- With more frequent launches, we should consider their possible impact in terms of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Tim Dodd has a good video placing emissions in the context of other emitters. 📺

- In 1977 NASA released a design study for creating 10,000-person space settlements orbiting Lagrange point 5 (L5). Much of it is relevant 40+ years later. One change: rocket launch environmental impact was considered in terms of ozone depletion (due to the Space Shuttle’s motors producing free chlorine during launch). | aerospace |
