Her dream to find a career in the cockpit was forged out of the close relationship she had with her father who was a pilot working with the Kenya Airways.
And whereas many women in the airline industry today hold such positions as gate agents and flight attendants, Ms Mutungi has firmly established a career in an area where men still dominate.
In 1993, Ms Mutungi joined the Kenya Airways becoming the first female pilot. And for the next six years, she was the only female pilot in the airline.
Today, the Boeing girl, as she is popularly known by her colleagues, is the only female pilot in Africa licensed to fly Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
“For me, this is a dream come true in a big way. My dad was a pilot and we were very close so he always let us into the cockpit.
The interest developed and now I am proud of the decision I made,” she said moments after delivering KQ’s fourth Dreamliner at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport last week.
The 15-hour flight from Boeing Corporation assembly in Charleston, South Carolina, US, was attended by an all-female crew, led by captain Koki.
“It is a big machine and that is why I love it. Its capacity is about 234 passengers. Its efficiency is unmatched. I’ve enjoyed flying it more than any other aircraft,” Ms Mutungi told Smart Company.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner is a long-range, wide body modern aircraft featuring the latest aerodynamics, design and technology.
It measures about 57 metres long, has a wingspan of 60 metres and 17 metres height while on the tarmac. It can attain 945 kilometres per hour cruise speed at 40,000 feet (approximately 12.2 kilometres).
The aircraft has become a darling of leading global airlines particularly due to its efficiency in fuel consumption.
STRIKE A BALANCE
Ms Mutungi’s career started at the age of 18 when she joined the Kenya School of Flying based at Wilson Airport, Nairobi, immediately after completing high school. She went for further studies in the US before returning home to take a job at the Kenya Airways.
It has been two decades of flying since then but she says it feels as if she has just started. The nature of her work means she doesn’t always get to spend a lot of time with her eight-year-old son.
“It is hard balancing work and family especially in a career such as this where you are out of the country many times. But after doing something for so many years, you tend to strike a balance. This has happened and now all of us are happy,” she says.
Her greatest wish is to see her son develop an interest in aviation and hopefully become a pilot too.
“I would love him to do this but it will be his choice to make. He has not shown any strong interests so far but he is familiar with the whole concept of flying. It would be nice if he shared the same dream and keep continuity in the family,” she said.
Ms Mutungi has made a name in a career that is largely dominated by men and she hopes other African women can rise up and exploit their potential beyond the perceived limitations of gender.
“A lot of African women are doing a lot of extraordinary things across the continent. I think women have recognised the potential they have and there is a deliberate effort to show what we are capable of doing,” she said.
Determination, self-belief and hard work are ingredients of success, she says, adding that the belief that “particular jobs can only be done by people of a certain gender” is out of touch with reality.
Ms Mutungi humility belies her great achievements. The 39-year-old, who looks much younger than her age, is down to earth, polite, soft-spoken, and addresses her juniors with a lot of respect.
She is the airline’s designated pilot for the Nairobi-Paris route using one of the Dreamliners which KQ has acquired. The other Dreamliner aircraft fly to Johannesburg, Kinshasa, Bangkok-Hong Kong routes.
Her job at KQ has become a major selling point for the airline which has the highest number of female pilots in Africa. Today, the airline has 530 pilots, 39 of whom are female.
“This is a historical moment for Kenya Airways as we have proved to the world and our aviation peers of our deliberate commitment to human resource development by providing an equal opportunity to our sisters,” said Kenya Airways finance director Alex Mbugua.
“I look forward to a day in the near future when this aircraft will be managed 100 per cent by ladies crew now that we already have two first officers undergoing certification.”
The airline is expecting to receive two more Boeing 787 Dreamliners next month.
As part of the airline’s long-term fleet and route development strategy over the next 10 years, it is implementing a plan geared at growing fleet size, modernising aircraft and simplifying it by cutting the number of aircraft types from seven to four. | aerospace |

NASA has begun attaching scientific devices to the OSIRIS-REx probe, simply over a yr earlier than it begins making its option to asteroid Bennu. The primary instrument to reach at Lockheed Martin’s HQ is Arizona State College’s microwave-sized gadget referred to as OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer or OTES. It is designed change on shortly after the spacecraft begins its two-yr journey to Bennu, and to take the close to-Earth asteroid’s temperature each two seconds as soon as it arrives. The instrument, which has undergone improvement and testing these previous few years, will even scan the celestial physique’s floor to map minerals and chemical compounds.
OTES is however one of many 5 devices that the staff is slated to put in aboard the OSIRIS-REx earlier than it takes off in September 2016. There’s additionally the OSIRIS-REx Digital camera Suite (OCAMS) constructed by a group from the College of Arizona, which can use its three cameras to picture Bennu because the spacecraft approaches. The Canadian Area Company, then again, developed the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA), which might be in command of producing native and international topographic maps of the asteroid.
NASA’s Goddard Area Flight Middle created the OSIRIS-REx Seen and Infrared Spectrometer (OVIRS), in an effort to detect water and organics by measuring infrared and visual mild from the NEA. Lastly, an MIT and Harvard scholar-school collab’s brainchild referred to as the Regolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS) will map parts on the floor of Bennu. OSIRIS is scheduled to succeed in its goal in 2018, run exams, observe the asteroid and seize a pattern to deliver again to Earth by 2023. NASA’s hoping the mission can reply a few of its questions, together with how power from the solar impacts an asteroid’s trajectory — and the way life on Earth started.

- 1 month ago
Earth's atmosphere gets thinner and thinner as your altitude increases; but even where the Space Station orbits, there's still a trace amount that exists - and, it creates drag.
Skylab was last visited in 1974, and it was thought that it would remain in orbit until the Space Shuttle was ready to 're-boost' it; however, and active period in our Sun caused Earth's atmosphere to expand a bit, and the added drag made it's orbit decay, and it fell out of orbit in July, 1979....
The same thing would happen to the ISS if it wasn't re-boosted every so often. The Shuttle used to use it's fuel and engines to perform a boost when it visited; sometimes they'll used an attached re-supply vessel to do the job, and the ISS has a module with thrusters that can also perform the 're-boost.'

The Kármán line is an arbitrary (made up) boundary of 100 km, about where physicist Theodore von Kármán calculated (83.6 km) that the atmosphere is too thin for winged flight so craft have to be going at orbital velocity to stay aloft. Above that line there are still plenty of air molecules, enough to cause drag on the ISS making it necessary to boost the orbit once in a while. | aerospace |

Engels base, located in Russia's Saratov region, sustained four big blasts. The military facility is known for housing Putin's Tu-160 "Blackjack", Tu-95 "Bear" and Tu-22 strike aircraft.
These three aircraft can carry nuclear missiles but have often been used in conventional bombing runs throughout the two-year conflict in Ukraine. Reports from Astra, an independent Russian news outlet said that three out of the four drones reached their target, causing multiple explosions caught on security cameras.

Ukrainian media confirmed today that these destructive attacks were performed by the military intelligence agency, reports the Express. Roman Busargin, the Regional Governor, assured that all drones had been "eliminated" over the base, adding: "The air defence system worked promptly and effectively. There were no casualties or damage to infrastructure from falling debris."
Putin taking the co-pilot seat in a TU-160 strategic bomber last month was seen as a display of strength during Russia's recent elections. The plant has been given orders from the state to manufacture a modernized variant of the Tu-160 bomber, which first took flight in the 1980s, and NATO code-named it Blackjack.
The airplane Putin flew was one of the first revamped bombers built, updated with new engines and avionics, and named Tu-160M.

University of Tennessee at ChattanoogaFlightGear is being used as the basic framework to provide the UTC Challenger Center (and hopefully other centers in the future) a low cost virtual reality computer simulation. Our simulation is using flightgear and JSBSim, specifically the shuttle module, to develop a shuttle landing simulator. Currently, we are trying to get to the point of at least contributing instructions on how to interface our virtual reality hardware with Flightgear back to the OS community. More info.
ARINCTodd Moyer of ARINC is using FlightGear as part of an effort to test and evaluate Flight Management Computer avionics and the corresponding ground systems. Certain capabilities of the Flight Management Computer are only available when airborne, which is determined by the FMC according to data it receives from GPS and INS sensors. We have written additional software that translates the NMEA output of FlightGear (including latitude, longitude, and altitude) into the ARINC 429 data words used by GPS and INS sensors. These data words are then fed to the Flight Management Computer. The position information from FlightGear is realistic enough to convince the FMC that it is actually airborne, and allows us to test entire "flights" with the avionics. More info.
MSimulationMarcus Bauer and others are working on a simulator cockpit environment and are using FlightGear as the software engine. They are building a real Cockpit, including three cockpit computers and are using Flightgear as their flightsimulation platform. The cockpit panels, systems and logics are done like Airbus does today. More info. | aerospace |

Reports as recently as July suggested that they did in fact find life, although apparently life within the lake and life outside the lake haven’t diverged very much in 15 million years of isolation. (That, or those ‘ordinary’ organisms were contaminants)
Anyway, this makes me worry about the possibility of life on Mars, for one very big reason: If life on Earth exists basically everywhere, from deep under ground to stuff floating up in the atmosphere, from deep-sea vents to the tops of mountains… Looking at the Earth, it seems like if life exists, it will eventually take over the entire planet. Ergo, if Mars had life, it should have reached the surface… but we don’t see any, in at least the regions we’ve rolled around.
Really, for me to hold out any hope of finding life on Mars, I’d need to know of at least one spot on or in the Earth in which there is NO life. Although, actually, there is one: the Atacama desert apparently has regions where there is no life at all, thanks to some combination of extreme altitude, dryness, and soil acidity (http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg19426082.100-the-last-place-on-earth-without-living-things.html) Let’s hope that the Atacama really is like the surface of Mars, otherwise Mars could turn out to be one heck of a barren place. | aerospace |

It spent 13 years in orbit around the ringed planet, carried out some spectacular science and beamed some great images back to earth.
One of the most important had to have been the photograph of water plumes bursting from the surface of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons. Long thought to be inert world’s, these photos helped cement the view that the moons of planets in our solar system are the new frontier in the search for life.
In addition to the main mission, the Cassini probe carried a lander called Huygens which landed on the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon and sent us back images, audio and measurements of this strange world. Titan was found to have an atmosphere of predominantly nitrogen with gaseous clouds made from ethane and methane and surface liquids of ethane and methane that behave like water on earth raining and flowing. Water ice is frozen so hard it behaves like solid rock and is weathered and eroded by the methane and ethane environment. Strange indeed.
But like the Hubble Space Telescope, Cassini will perhaps be best remembered amongst the public for the stunning images it has collected of Saturn and it’s magnificent ring system. Like many before me, my first views of Saturn through a telescope will stay with me forever and the Cassini mission brought this magnificent celestial world a little bit closer to Earth. | aerospace |

However, modern panels draw relatively small amounts of power, so it should adapt well. In the Spitfire it is mounted on the RHS of the cockpit next to the Pilots seat. The same for the trim wheel, flap lever and other important controls that demand a tactile response. Brian and the team have built a cockpit of a Spitfire using realistic controls, displays, and the latest computer technology. Unfortunately, the crew he brought from Australia was not quite as impressed as he was; they took one look, asked how far it was to the nearest surf and high-tailed it for home. Supermarine has even duplicated the Spitfire’s iconic external rear-view mirror to help with that “bogey at your six.” Truth be told, according to O’Sullivan, many of the pilots in WW-II removed the mirror because, as I found out, it was pretty much blocked by the canopy latch and essentially useless. The Mk 26B should not require extraordinary pilot skills, but it is, by definition, a high-performance airplane with retractable landing gear and a lot of horsepower, so it is not for the raw beginner. O’Sullivan advised against using too much force to lock them up, as it wouldn’t be fun to have a pin jam in that position. The factory also said it is working on improving the brakes and has recently changed the landing-gear controls. For those modern pilots used to fully blown Plexiglas bubbles, the window frame might seem to be an impediment to vision, but if you are coming from a Cessna, the view will astound you. There is a gunsight, again original and in working order, and a rocker-switch on the spade grip for firing four .303 machine guns or two 20mm cannons, ⦠Repro Airscrew Control label. The 10,000-square-foot hangar/production facility has everything needed to produce and store parts for the kits, including the ability to turn LS2s into aircraft powerplants. Currently, they are building a Xenos motorglider. Supermarine Spitfire Modeler's Online Reference Cybermodeler Online The builder still has a lot of work to do, but the various components look much like they will when finished, at least in shape and size. It would be interesting to see how it handles with a passenger in the back seat. In fact, while the entire airplane is scaled to 90%, Supermarine actually built the cockpit slightly larger to accommodate modern pilots comfortably.

A commercially licensed pilot, he has logged over 5000 hours in many different types of aircraft and is an A&P, EAA Tech Counselor and Flight Advisor, as well as a member of the Homebuilder’s Council. The demo plane clearly had a few items that are still under development, and this should be understood by buyers considering the kit. All rights reserved worldwide. It shows they understand that a large part of completing an airplane is in the assembly and systems installation, not in cutting and fitting every single piece of metal. Buyers should still be aware that they are not flying a powerplant with millions of operational hours, however, and they need to accept that they are at the cutting edge with this engine. Unknown setbacks can always arise in the development of a new engine package, but Supermarine seems to be well ahead of the normal development curve when it comes to auto-engine conversions for aircraft use. Spitfire De icing pump (pg1 controls) Seen in situ above Nos 62 and 63 in a Spitfire. Even though the speed change in this maneuver is considerable, the pitch and roll forces remained balanced, and the airplane felt natural. 15. Almost all of the maingear components (struts, wheels and brakes) are made in-house at the Supermarine factory. Your model is a replica of the Mk Ia Spitfire flown by A. G. 'Sailor' Malan, a South African by birth, who served with the RAF during World War II. After a few turns with bank angles up to 60 (very little back pressure was required to hold altitude), I slowed the airplane to see how it stalled. An avid homebuilder, he began flying and working on airplanes as a teen, and has experience with a wide range of construction techniques and materials. It is no wonder that today we list it among the ranks of the “best of the best.” Through all of its versions, it maintained the heart of the British lion within its subtle curves. Few will ever have the chance to fly a real Spitfire, but that doesn’t mean that a modern pilot can’t experience the thrill of handling one of these amazing machines. It was flying, and then it broke; there was no buffet or shudder. The airplane is assembled with pulled rivets instead of solid AN rivets that need to be shot, bucked and/or squeezed. The stick has the classic “Spitfire hoop” handle on top, but it operates conventionally. The steerable tailwheel gives good control on the ground, whether on pavement or the Spitfire’s natural element: turf. £0.00. The Spitfire lives up to its legend, and so does this incarnation. While there is rarely anything wrong with the core engine, problems seem to arise in reduction gears, cooling systems or airframe integration. Most modern pilots are used to a single gear handle or switch that is either up or down, plus indicator lights for each retractable gear (in this case, the two mains; the steerable swiveling tailwheel remains hanging in the breeze). Original, WWII Spitfire flap selector valve unit. (Emergency gear extension is achieved by pulling release cables, but I didn’t experiment with this in our flight.).

Five years later, a 60-foot granite monument was dedicated in Dare County.
The monument itself was built on a 90-foot sand dune stabilized through the planting of special grasses. The dune was part of a larger natural embankment that the Wright Brothers used to launch gliders in the years leading up to their famed first powered flights in 1903.
Designed to mimic the look of a marine beacon, the monument’s double entrance doors each have six panels depicting moments from mankind’s attempts at flight. The inscription notes the momentous achievements in the history of flight that the Wright Brothers attained at Kill Devil Hills.
Though the monument’s 1932 dedication was expected to draw tens of thousands of people bad weather kept all but a handful away. Orville Wright was in attendance and the featured guest of honor. In 1953, Congress renamed and designated the monument as the Wright Brothers National Memorial.
It continues to be one of the premiere attractions on the Outer Banks, drawing more than 425,000 visitors each year.
Visit: The Wright Brothers National Memorial, located in Kitty Hawk operated by the National Park Service, is open to visitors year-round.

A few months ago, if you directed this question to an astronomer, he would probably say that the satellite is the result of the junction of debris that was released in space after the Earth’s impact with another celestial body.
But a study recently published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters suggests that such an answer is partially wrong.
The collision between celestial objects actually happened 4.5 billion years ago, but simulations performed on a supercomputer suggest that the Moon formed in a matter of hours after the collision, rather than gradually, as previously thought.
The new hypothesis was raised by scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Center, the University of Glasgow and the University of Durham.
The faster formation theory of the Moon also suggests a different internal composition for the satellite, which could explain the reasons why samples brought from space missions have characteristics similar to those seen in rocks on Earth. Look:
Let’s go to the event: when the Earth was still very young, it was hit by an object the size of Mars, which was nicknamed Theia. If the impact had generated debris that gradually led to the formation of the Moon, it would be expected that the satellite would be composed of materials more similar to that of the smaller celestial body.
It is not what happens. The moon’s outer layer is rich in material originating from Earth. In addition, the scientists showed during simulations that a rapidly forming body could survive close to Earth without being torn apart by the planet’s gravitational influence. In this way, the Moon would have entered its orbit and remained until today.
NASA plans to bring more samples from the satellite during future Artemis Program missions, which could help scientists elucidate the origin of the Moon. Having such information will also make it easier for researchers to get details about Earth’s own past and its evolution in the Universe. | aerospace |

Alabama News Network is learning more about the medical helicopter crash in Andalusia.
Denisse Coffman, the vice president of communications of Air Methods, has released a statement that provides more details about the helicopter.
“The AS 350 aircraft was from the Life Saver program based in Evergreen, AL. There was no patient on board and the crew have been taken to the hospital and are receiving medical evaluation and care.
“The FAA and NTSB have been made aware of this incident and investigators are enroute to assess the situation. Our team will cooperate fully with their efforts to assess the cause of this unfortunate accident.

Covington County Sheriff Blake Turman told Alabama News Network that the helicopter went down in Packer Field just after 3PM Friday, across from Dean’s Cake House. He says it was on its way to pick up a patient.
Three people were on board: the pilot and two EMTs.
Two victims were taken by ambulance to Andalusia Health, where one was treated and released and the second was airlifted from there to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida. A third was airlifted from the scene and also is being treated at Sacred Heart. The extent of their injuries is not known, according to Andalusia Police Chief Paul Hudson.
No one on the ground was injured. Five power poles were knocked down when the chopper went down.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration have arrived. Hudson says the manufacturer of the helicopter, Airbus, is flying a team in from Wisconsin to inspect the aircraft, and the manufacturer of the engine also plans to come to the scene.
Those inspections will not happen until Saturday afternoon.

(SMI) are teaming in a collaboration keyed to manufacture fiber-reinforced aluminum (FRA).
The material is a lightweight alternative to steel and aluminum for the defense, aerospace and transportation markets, the companies said in a release April 22.
Lowell, Mass.-based SMI has designed a "high-volume" FRA production facility that is expected to come online in late 2013, the companies said. Chelmsford, Mass.-based Triton will continue to develop next-generation FRA products at its pilot plant, they said.
The material was developed by Triton to make turbopump housings and helicopter gearbox components for the military, the companies said. Other applications include internal combustion engine components, high-temperature heat exchangers and bearing liners.
"Triton has an established relationship with SMI, and they are a trusted source in the industry for composite materials," Triton president and chief executive officer Ross Haghighat said. "FRA offers lightweight, high-strength alternatives that the industry demands and SMI can deliver qualified production to meet those requirements."
"FRA is a complementary material to our suite of products, and were geared up to take this product to volume manufacturing," SMI president and chief executive officer Monte Treasure said. | aerospace |

He was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. The Knight's Cross, and its variants were the highest awards in the military and paramilitary forces of Nazi Germany. During his career in the Luftwaffe (air force), Hentschel flew 1,490 combat missions as a radio operator and air gunner, and claimed seven aerial victories.
Hentschel was born on 29 October 1917 in Niederthalheim, present-day a borough of Mittweida, at the time in the Kingdom of Saxony, a federated state of the German Empire. He joined the Luftwaffe on 30 November 1938, initially serving with in a flak regiment. In June 1939, he was transferred to the 2nd squadron of Kampfgeschwader 51 (KG 51—51st Bomber Wing) based at Landsberg-Lech Air Base where he trained as a radio operator and tail gunner. He was then posted to the Stuka school at Graz-Thalerhof, present-day Graz Airport, followed by a transfer to the Supplementary Dive Bomber Squadron of 8th Air Corps and Sturzkampfgeschwader 2 (StG 2—2nd Dive Bomber Wing).
On 21 May 1941, Hentschel flew his first combat missions on the Eastern Front of World War II. In late September 1941, he became Hans-Ulrich Rudel 's regular air gunner. Flying with the I. and III. Gruppe of StG 2, he received the Honor Goblet of the Luftwaffe on 16 March 1942, was promoted to Feldwebel (technical sergeant) on 1 December 1942, received the German Cross in Gold on 9 January 1943, and was promoted to Oberfeldwebel (senior technical sergeant) on 1 June 1943. Hentschel flew his 1,200th combat mission on 9 October 1943, and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross on 9 December 1943 after approximately 1,300 combat missions. On 20 March, Rudel made a forced landing behind enemy lines, trying to rescue a downed aircrew. The takeoff failed due to the soft underground. Walking back to German held territory, the four attempted to swim across the Dniester River. Hentschel drowned in the attempt.

Four pairs of solar panels soak up the sun’s energy to provide electrical power to ISS systems and the arrays are now showing signs of degradation after operating for decades.
Rubins and Noguchi will spend 6.5 hours outside the ISS to complete several tasks including venting ammonia from the Early Ammonia System and installing a “stiffener” device on the Quest airlock thermal cover.
The Expedition 64 crew members will also replace a Wireless Video System External Transceivers Assembly (WETA) and conduct cable routing for the Bartolomeo platform Parking Position Interface (PAPOS) — an external payload hosting platform — on the station’s science laboratory known as the Columbus module.
The work to install solar array modification kits began during Sunday’s spacewalk, when Rubins and NASA astronaut Victor Glover jumpstarted the process.
“The new solar arrays, which will be delivered to the space station on upcoming SpaceX Dragon cargo missions, are a larger version of the Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) technology and will ultimately increasing the station’s total available power from 160 kilowatts to up to 215 kilowatts,” NASA said in a blog post.
This marks the fourth career spacewalk for each astronaut.

On Sunday, Flight 302 carrying 157 passengers and crew crashed just outside of Addis Ababa six minutes into its flight. At this point it’s unclear what caused the accident, but there are concerns that the crash in Ethiopia may be linked to the Lion Air crash in October 2018 in which 189 passengers and crew lost their lives. The Lion Air crash also involved the Boeing 737 Max 8, which crashed 13 minutes into its flight.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China was the first aviation regulator globally to suspend airline operations involving the Boeing jets. This order issued on Monday applies to 96 jets operated by 13 domestic airlines including China Southern, Air China, and Shanghai Airlines. Following China’s decision, Indonesia’s Director General of Air Transport on Monday also prohibited domestic airlines from using the Boeing jet and announced it would carry out inspections on each jet used by its domestic carriers. Indonesia’s Lion Air operates 10 of the country’s 11 MAX 8 jets. South Korea and Mongolia, with one Max 8 jet each in operation, followed suit on Tuesday. On Tuesday also, Singapore and Australia went a step further and grounded all variants of the Boeing 737 MAX jets from operation pending more information about the recent crash. Malaysia, despite having no MAX 8 jets in its domestic fleet, banned the plane from taking off, landing, and transiting through Malaysian airports. India, which initially imposed additional interim safety requirements, decided to ground all MAX 8 jets late Tuesday night.
The U.S., meanwhile, was one of last major economies to ground the MAX 8 jet. It did so Wednesday afternoon despite sanctioning the jet’s operations by U.S. airlines on Monday. This move followed the Canadian Ministry of Transportation’s reversal of its decision to allow the MAX 8 jet to operate, citing new information linking the Ethiopia and Indonesia crashes. Boeing, the plane’s Chicago, Illinois-based manufacturer, has maintained that the MAX jets are safe and that the company has been working on flight control software enhancements for the entire MAX fleet since the Lion Air crash. The MAX 8 jet began operations in 2017 and was touted as a new fuel-efficient version of the company’s 50-year-old 737 model. The company has 4,700 orders booked for the new jet and has delivered 370 to various customers around the world. It’s unclear whether the recent suspensions of the jet will affect Boeing’s future deliveries. Airlines that have implemented suspensions, however, have reported minimal flight delays as the MAX 8 jet gets switched with other models to carry out flights. | aerospace |

They did some upgrading jobs which the International Space Station or ISS urgently required. They are preparing to put up more docking ports for commercial crew capsules will use as parking slots at the ISS. Comes 2017, initial test landings are expected to be performed.
Manned space flights have been stopped since NASAs shuttle services were scrapped in 2011. Following it, the United States was left without a spaceship that could ferry astronauts to low orbit satellites.
Boeing is planning to ferry its first astronauts to space using the CST-100 in the latter part of 2017 and followed by SpaceX not long after that.
Wilmore and Virts, according to NASA will step out from ISS via the station airlock complete with their suits powered by an internal battery source. Their camera mounted helmets are meant to record the spacewalking proceedings which has been broadcasted on NASA television and on its website.
The aim of the second spacewalk is to install antennas and the required cables to ensure that there is communications between the arriving and the departing crew ferry capsules.
Additional chores will include routing of two bundles of cables, do lubrication job on the robotic arm and to make ready for another operation in the latter part this year in moving modules around at the orbiting outpost.
Rob Navias, NASA Commentator, said that three hours would be enough to lubricate the robotic arm which was made in Canada, aptly called Canadarm
Half of Wednesday’s spacewalk was performed by Fortyseven-year-old Virts lubricating the screws, brackets and tracks on the end of Canadarm. The snares have become somewhat rusty and raise the motor current. The lubricating job would make the job easier.
Virts radioed, “We’re the cable guys. Now we’re the grease monkeys or I am.” Mission Control replied, “Yep, you guys have a life after NASA. That’s good work”. | aerospace |

Three upcoming robotic missions will set in place landers, orbiters, relay satellites and test key technologies needed to begin construction of China’s International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) in the 2030s. .
While China is now planning a short-term crewed lunar landing mission before the end of the decade, ILRS will initially be a robotic base that will be permanently habitable after 2035.
Chang’e-6, a backup to the successful 2020 Chang’e-5 lunar sample return, will attempt to collect up to two kilograms of material from the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the lunar far side in 2026.
A new lunar relay satellite will also be launched to facilitate communications with missions targeting the vicinity of the south pole of the moon.
Petersburg, Russia, in June 2021, the plan envisions five missions named ILRS-1 through 5 focusing respectively on energy and communications, research and exploration facilities, in-situ resource utilization, general technologies and astronomy capabilities.
China declared its openness to international partnerships for ILRS and deep space missions at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris in September, but Russia was not mentioned in the plans. . | aerospace |

By adding mobility to the architecture of the telecommunications network service providers. the delivery of telecommunications connection is enhanced.
The third generation partnership project, or 3GPP, or drone-based flying base station known as UxNB offers more flexible, dynamic and adaptive connectivity coverage, in contrast to the standard stationary terrestrial base station’s fixed cell.
By getting closer to the mobile device or securing its line-of-sight, the flying base station can also enhance the channel quality to the user (which is crucial for mmWave communications as they are less effective at crossing physical obstacles than lower-band communications). The next-generation wireless applications, such as sensor applications (for example, monitoring, personal, body, and environmental monitoring), and those based on holographic and tactile operations (for example, virtual reality/VR or augmented reality/AR), are made possible by the improved connection coverage and communication channels.
Flying Base Station Integration
UAV flying base stations are a feature of sixth-generation networking that enhance base station coverage and channel link properties for mobile users. The introduction of the flying base station into mobile networking should allow backward compatibility with the 5G networks, as is customary with emerging technologies in mobile networking. For instance, a mobile user who only supports 5G or even older-generation telecoms, such as 2G for emergency applications, can nevertheless get connectivity services from a flying base station.
Properties of UAV Flying Base Stations
A UAV flying base station integrates the capabilities of a UAV drone (to shift its position) with a base station (to deliver a last-mile hop wireless communication connection to the user equipment). A UAV flying base station, on the other hand, may be distinguished from each of these fundamental technologies and brings unique security flaws and dangers that weren’t present in conventional UAV drones or stationary base stations before.
Upcoming Project Discussions
While the earlier study can theoretically provide the groundwork for protecting flying base stations, more research is necessary to develop security solutions that take into account the particular difficulties and traits of upcoming flying base stations. Additionally, a systems perspective is necessary, along with knowledge of how various components and needs influence every security solution. To restrict the usefulness and viability of the flying base station system, an effective security solution can, for instance, impose overheads that are prohibitive (by delaying the RRC, creating extra DoS vulnerabilities, or necessitating regular battery recharge). Furthermore, due to the novel security implications brought about by the flying base station activities, the security concerns might be prioritised differently, for instance, because mobile users of telecommunications rely on the base station, the impact of a flying base station is severe and important.
Opportunities for a Flying Base Station for Security
Flying base stations can provide special chances to improve base station operating security. These opportunities include enhancing channel reliability and jamming resistance by utilising the mobility of the flying base station, utilising line-of-sight path securing to provide additional security properties (which can be important for mmWave communications as it gets blocked on the physical barriers), enhancing reliability by jointly processing the communications with line-of-sight sensing, and developing distinctive physical-layer signatures based on the mobility of a flying base station.
In conclusion, in order to ensure the accessibility and reliability of UAV flying base station operations, this paper aims to inspire and inform additional research and development. As a result, the researchers describe and build upon the flying base station’s component technologies, which include embedded and battery control, authentication, distributed networking, and customary telecommunications networking (including the stationary ground base station). In order to address the particular qualities and the accompanying gaps for protecting the flying base station, they evaluated the relevant literature in safeguarding the component technologies. This paper’s conclusion emphasises significant unresolved issues to secure UAV flying base stations and discusses future work to support future research.

The last time an aviation accident led to that many casualties was in 1975, when a Royal Air Force Vulcan bomber crashed in Żabbar, killing all five crew members as well as a civilian who was hit by a piece of aircraft debris while walking on the town's main road.
More recently, in 2006 a Swedish aerobatics champion died when his stunt plane collided with another plane at the entrance to Marsamxett harbour during the Aero Grand Prix.
Major aviation disasters in Maltese history:
December, 1995: Five Maltese die when a Piper Lance plane on its way from Tunis crashes into the Mediterranean.
June, 1982: A light aircraft crashes into part of the Tal-Virtu' seminary, killing two people on board.
October, 1975: A Royal Air Force Vulcan bomber crashes in Żabbar, killing five crew members and a pedestrian in the town's main road
1956: An Avro York plane crashes near Żurrieq, killing 50 people. | aerospace |

You felt a sudden thud as the plane”s wheels hit the runway and the brakes did everything they could to slow the giant craft to a screeching halt. These landings can be rough, but trust us, you have not experienced the worst.
Birmingham Airport in the U.K. is home to perilous crosswinds, which often make landing a plane a lot more terrifying than a simple touch-down. Pilots are often forced to “push” the plane down onto the BHX runway by merely floating onto it. This creates a startling effect that tests the nerves of seasoned pilots from around the world. Watch the treacherous landings below, and hope that you never have to experience such a fright.

We use drones (small unmanned helicopters and planes) for aerial surveys and mapping.
This is achieved by combining low altitude aerial photography with geometrically calibrated cameras and a technique called photogrammetry. With these pictures we create 3D digital elevation and terrain models as well as orthophoto mosaics.
First of all drones are very quick to deploy as they can even be flown with cloud cover.
The results are also better, both in resolution and accuracy, as the pictures are taken much lower than conventional aerial photography.
The individual images can be adjusted for the elevations in the terrain corrected for color differences due to changing weather conditions.
All the pictures can then be joined into a seamless orthophoto mosaic.
As the image is fully to scale it can then be imported directly in a CAD or GIS as a backdrop and used for measuring or mapping.

So after a couple of 360 degree turns, lots of chatter about where he was, and even a go around we managed to get all three of us down on the runway.
After a good lunch we decided to follow Harry around the north end of Seattle, over the Snoqualmie Falls, and then back down to Puyallup where it seems everybody with an airplane had decided it was time to fly as well. Fun!
Upon landing Jeff hopped into my airplane and we did an IFR approach into Tacoma Narrows, then the GPS back into KPLU. We put away my airplane and then hopped in his airplane to do the same circuit with him at the controls. We both agreed that we need to do this type of thing at least once a month to keep proficient!

Don't know how he makes all that smoke. Maybe oil gets dumped into the engine?
But Bill really knows how to work it! First he gets a huge plume of smoke, then light it all up with the flames from his afterburner.
As can be seen here, the jet car is looks little more than a frame with wheels built around the jet engine. :-)

It was quite a small plane , prop' driven, sort of military green in colour the wings seemed to be mounted on top of the fuselage, with something mounted above them in the centre . I couldn't tell if this was the engine or something like what a Sentry AWACS has? The elevators were sited about half way up the tail plane. It actually had the look of a Catalina but was far too small.
Good man Chris !! As I say, even through the glasses it was hard to see the detail but that looks like the one. My first thought was that it was a float plane of some sort and I had the impression it was the engine on the top & the size is right. | aerospace |

The company did not immediately provide an explanation or confirm a new launch date, but SpaceX CEO and chief designer Elon Musk said they plan to review all potential failure modes and contingencies again, expecting that they'll complete the process in one to two weeks.
Launch of a Falcon 9 rocket and the commercial communications satellite had been planned for 12:50 a.m., with the same time available Thursday as a backup date.
The mission had already been pushed back following a failed test flight Friday at SpaceX's rocket development facility in Texas.
"The natural question is whether this is related to the test vehicle malfunction at our development facility in Texas last week," Musk said. "After a thorough review, we are confident that there is no direct link. Had the same blocked sensor port problem occurred with an operational Falcon 9, it would have been outvoted by several other sensors. That voting system was not present on the test vehicle."
A single-stage, three-engine development booster automatically blew itself up after detecting a problem during a test of systems advancing reusable rocket technology, including vertical landings on legs.
SpaceX or its mission partners may have decided to take more time to ensure that whatever went wrong with the test vehicle poses no concern for the 224-foot Falcon 9 being readied for launch from the Cape.
"What we do want to triple check is whether even highly improbable corner case scenarios have the optimal fault detection and recovery logic," Musk said. "This has already been reviewed by SpaceX and multiple outside agencies, so the most likely outcome is no change. If any changes are made, we will provide as much detail as is allowed under U.S. law." | aerospace |

It has rigid wings and an undercarriage. Some gliders, known as motor gliders, are also used for gliding and soaring, but have engines which can be used for extending a flight and, for some types, for take-off. Aircraft such as hang gliders and paragliders are foot-launched and so are described in separate articles, though their differences from sailplanes are covered below. Glider aircraft that are used for purposes other than recreation, for example for military purposes, do not soar.
Sports gliders benefit from creating the least drag for any given amount of lift, and this is best achieved with long, thin wings and a fully faired narrow cockpit. Aircraft with these features are able to climb efficiently in rising air and can glide long distances at high speed with a minimum loss of height in between.
Gliding is a recreational activity and competitive air sport in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as gliders or sailplanes using naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to remain airborne. The word soaring is also used for the sport.
Gliding as a sport began in the 1920s. Initially the objective was to increase the duration of flights but soon pilots attempted cross-country flights away from the place of launch. Improvements in aerodynamics and in the understanding of weather phenomena have allowed greater distances at higher average speeds. Long distances are now flown using any of the main sources of rising air: ridge lift, thermals and lee waves. When conditions are favorable, experienced pilots can now fly hundreds of kilometres before returning to their home airfields; occasionally flights of more than 1,000 kilometres (621 mi) are achieved.
Some competitive pilots fly in races around pre-defined courses. These gliding competitions test pilots' abilities to make best use of local weather conditions as well as their flying skills. Local and national competitions are organized in many countries, and there are biennial World Gliding Championships. Techniques to maximize a glider's speed around the day's task in a competition have been developed, including the optimum speed to fly, navigation using GPS and the carrying of water ballast. If the weather deteriorates pilots are sometimes unable to complete a cross-country flight. Consequently they may need to land elsewhere, perhaps in a field, but motorglider pilots can avoid this by starting an engine. | aerospace |

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- To the Air Force Space Command Family,
Each November, the Thanksgiving holiday provides the Air Force Space Command family with the opportunity to count our many blessings and to celebrate those blessings with family and friends.
Thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel period of the year, and whether your plans include local area travel or an extended journey, I encourage every member of the Air Force Space Command family to temper the anticipation and excitement of time spent among family and friends with prudent planning and sound risk management.
Please be vigilant; plan additional travel time for heavy traffic and inclement weather, take frequent breaks if traveling long distances, NEVER mix alcohol and driving and be on guard for others who might.
In short, take necessary steps to make the memories of this holiday pleasant, not tragic.
Finally, as we go into the long holiday weekend, I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each of you for your contributions to our vital missions and dedicated service to our Nation. Please also take a moment to express my thanks to your families for their untiring support as well.
Laura and I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and look forward to hearing that everyone has returned safe, secure and energized following the holiday weekend. | aerospace |

Its maximum approach to the Sun is within the orbit of the Earth and its maximum distance reaches almost the orbit of Mars
Among the architects of one of NASA’s greatest scientific feats, the collection of samples from a moving asteroid, is an American, a Venezuelan immigrant, who came to the United States to make his dream of life come true.
Last October, the NASA OSIRIS-REx [Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer] took a sample of the asteroid. Bennu, the smallest object that a spaceship has ever collected a sample of.
Humberto Campins was born and raised in Venezuela, and since childhood he has liked astronomy. He commented that when looking at the night sky, he had the feeling that he was very beautiful and there was a lot to learn.
When it came time to go to college, there was nowhere in Venezuela where Campins could specialize in astronomy, so he immigrated to the United States. He graduated from the University of Kansas in 1977 and received a doctorate in planetary science from the University of Arizona. He obtained American citizenship in 1989.
Campins spent several years researching and teaching astronomy until he joined the faculty at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in 2002. In 2010, NASA selected Campins as a member of the science team for the OSIRIS asteroid sample return mission. -REx.
He remarked that he wasn’t even entering into his wildest goals to be part of a NASA team that was going to send a spacecraft to an asteroid and bring back a sample.
Campins worked with rocket scientists and other imaging specialists to understand the geographic landscape of the asteroid Bennu.

The mission required the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft to touch the asteroid using a 3.4-meter mechanical arm with a small head designed to collect the sample. The spacecraft made contact with Bennu for about 5 seconds.
Ground conditions were so favorable during the October 2020 mission that the probe picked up more than NASA’s target. The probe is scheduled to return to Earth in September 2023, when researchers will be able to analyze the samples.
Campins’ research on imaging at UCF is funded by both NASA and the National Science Foundation.
Campins is also part of the 2021-2022 Jefferson Science Fellows Program, which will support his ongoing research on astronomy. The program is administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and is supported by the Department of State and the United States Agency for International Development.
Meanwhile, Campins highlights how the mission to Bennu will broaden our common knowledge. “These types of asteroids, these primitive asteroids, contain organic molecules that existed on Earth before the formation of life,” he says. With these samples, “perhaps we can understand the formation of life on Earth” | aerospace |
https://www.tripolipost.com/because-of-nato-maneuvers-over-germany-travelers-must-expect-flight-chaos/ | 2023-12-09T14:20:27 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100912.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20231209134916-20231209164916-00683.warc.gz | 0.963293 | 1,086 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__235543411 | en | From June 12th to 24th, NATO troops are rehearsing the emergency in the skies over Germany – air travelers have to expect delays and cancellations.
It is still unclear whether the feared chaos in European air traffic will actually occur or whether problems will only arise in places. However, the NATO exercise Air Defender 23 from June 12th to 24th will certainly not take place without any disruptions for air travelers. After all, 220 military aircraft are taking part in the maneuver and large areas of airspace are temporarily closed.
Passengers planning a flight for the twelve days in question must assume that there will be delays and even cancellations due to the expected crowding in the sky over Europe.
“Incredibly tightly timed”
“It is to be expected that the flight routes of civil aircraft will be impaired,” says Karolina Wojtal from the European Consumer Center Germany (EVZ). “The situation in German airspace is already very tense. Everything is already incredibly tightly timed there.”
At least within the EU, the rights of flight passengers affected by delays or cancellations are clearly regulated. The so-called Air Passenger Rights Regulation applies to all passengers departing from an airport in the EU, as well as to all passengers landing at an airport in the EU if the airline is based in the EU, explains Wojtal. Among other things, the ordinance provides for compensation payments of several hundred euros and defines precise criteria for this.
Air travelers only have a claim against the airline in the case of cancellations or delays notified at short notice, less than 14 days before departure. In addition, the airline does not have to pay compensation if there are extraordinary circumstances that could not have been prevented even if reasonable measures had been taken. “In our opinion, the NATO exercise is likely to involve such exceptional circumstances,” says Wojtal.
Lawyer Paul Degott, who specializes in aviation law, agrees. “The NATO air maneuvers in themselves will certainly be such an extraordinary circumstance that the airlines can invoke in the event of flight irregularities,” he says.
“But then you will also have to explain what you have done reasonably to avoid the flight irregularities from this or to make them less bad for the passengers.” The latter could be the starting point to get a compensation payment from the airline.
The global patchwork of liability regulations
When it comes to passenger rights on flights that do not fall under the EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation, there is no general regulation, explains Karolina Wojtal from the EVZ. “There is nothing comparable in the world,” she says.
The so-called Montreal Convention states that airlines are liable for damage caused by delays. However, what this means exactly has not been clarified in detail. Lawyer Degott also points out that airlines are not liable for damage caused by delays in this case either if they prove that all reasonable measures were taken to avoid the damage or that it was not possible to take such measures.
The airline could also exonerate itself by pointing out the extraordinary circumstances that the NATO maneuver represents.
In addition, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), only 72 percent of all countries have ratified the Montreal Convention at all. “As a result, there continues to be a patchwork of liability rules,” according to IATA.
Ultimately, in large parts of the world, it depends on each individual airline which regulations they apply in the event of cancellations and delays, explains Wojtal. Passengers have no choice but to check the general terms and conditions in advance if they want to be sure. “However, a lot is regulated exclusively on a goodwill basis anyway,” she says.
Especially when it comes to catering and support services such as hotel accommodation, drinks and meals while waiting for a delayed flight. In the event of flight cancellations, attempts are usually made to rebook the affected passengers on other flights or to issue vouchers for the next booking.
Wojtal recommends that anyone who thinks that they can cover a possible delay or flight cancellation by taking out insurance should definitely read the small print carefully. Travel cancellation insurance, for example, does not apply in such cases and many insurers exclude liability if the circumstances are extraordinary.
No exercises at night or on weekends
The Air Force, which is leading the large-scale exercise in which 25 NATO member states are taking part, has meanwhile announced that the airspace over Germany will be divided into three sectors, which will be temporarily reserved for military use on the days in question: Airspace East from 10 to 2 p.m., southern airspace from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and northern airspace from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. There should be no exercise at night or on weekends.
It is not yet possible to assess what specific effects this will have, according to Düsseldorf Airport, for example. Simulations by the European organization for the safety of aviation, Eurocontrol, gave rise to the expectation that flight cancellations should not be expected in advance.
“Due to the expected dynamics of this large-scale exercise, which is unique to date, impairments at individual airports or flight routes cannot be ruled out,” said an airport spokesman. | aerospace |

The country does not want to do that until its own space station is operational, but that is expected to take many years. Russia is talking about 2028 at the earliest.
Russia is thus backing away from what it said on Tuesday. The country has been threatening to withdraw from the International Space Station since the invasion of Ukraine, but that plan was officially confirmed on Tuesday. The new Roscosmos boss Yuri Borisov then confirmed in a conversation with Vladimir Putin that “the decision to stop the ISS after 2024 has been made.” Shortly afterwards, it turned out that the soup was eaten less hot than it was served: NASA said it knew nothing and Roscosmos also gave no official confirmation.
Russian space workers have now told NASA that Russia will continue to send cosmonauts to the ISS until Russia builds and launches its own operational space station. That’s what a NASA employee says against Reuters. “We have no indication that anything has changed,” NASA says.
After the International Space Station, Russia wants to continue with its own space station, the Russian Orbital Service Station, or ROSS. Those plans have been ready for at least fifteen years, but have never progressed beyond the drawing board. In an interview on the Roscosmos website Vladimir Solovyov, who is responsible for the Russian part of the ISS, already said that the ROSS will not be ready until around 2028 at the earliest. Experts doubt that: such a station would be very expensive and the Western sanctions would make it difficult to set up such a high-tech project. Solovyov said in that interview that Russia would like to remain active on the ISS until then, so certainly 2028. “We have to bear in mind that if we stop crewed flights for a few years, it will be very difficult to restore what we have built up to this point.” | aerospace |

The World’s Best Long-Haul Commercial Aircrafts
When deciding exactly which flight to book for you or your travellers, there are a number of criteria to consider. Cost is undoubtedly a factor, as well as convenient timing. Perhaps the airline is important to you, especially if you have loyalty scheme membership. But would you choose your flight based on which aircraft you’ll be flying in? If you’re flying long-haul for business, you should definitely take it into consideration.
Even if you have no interest in plane spotting, the plane model you fly in does make a difference. New aircraft come into service all the time, while older models retire, destined for aviation museums or aircraft graveyards, or sometimes even converted into hotels. The more modern aeroplane designs are continually improving conditions for passengers, increasing legroom, decreasing engine noise and environmental impact, and refining layout and cabin design. So next time you fly, take note of which plane you’ll be in; after all, a comfortable traveller is a more productive traveller.
Which aircraft are in currently in service?
Today, aviation analysts Ascend estimate that there are 23,600 commercial aircraft in active service, with the Boeing 747, Boeing 777, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A320, Airbus A350 and Airbus A380 being the most popular for long-haul flights.
Which aircraft is best?
To help decide which aircraft is best, we’ve looked in detail at three different models: the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the Airbus A350 and the Airbus A380.
Boeing 787 Dreamliner
First commercial flight: 2011
Seats: 242-335 passengers
Operated by: Qatar Airways, Air Canada, British Airways,
Number in service: 554 as of July 2017
Nicknamed the Dreamliner, the Boeing 787 boasts various innovative features designed to enhance cabin comfort. Firstly, improved air conditioning helps to regulate cabin temperature, while the air pressure and humidity is controlled via a gaseous filtration system. This, coupled with reduced engine noise and soft LED lighting, helps passengers to relax and arrive at their destination feeling refreshed and jet-lag free. Furthermore, the Dreamliner’s dimmable windows are around 65% larger than standard, and allow passengers to shut out the light at the touch of a button. This not only gives the cabin a lighter, airier, more spacious feel, but also gives great views to those lucky enough to be sitting in a window seat. On the flip side though, if you are hoping to sleep though your flight, you might find the cabin to be a little brighter than usual, so Boeing has installed manually closing windows too.
Boeing are proud of the 787’s fuel efficiency, which when combined with the composite materials used to construct it, make it a particularly economic and energy-saving aircraft. It is the Boeing 787 Dreamliner that will fly directly from London to Perth when Qantas launches the first non-stop service between the cities in March 2018.
First commercial flight: 2015
Seats: 280-366 passengers
Operated by: Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, China Airlines
Number in service: 142 as of January 2018
The Airbus A350 was launched in January 2015, entering service with Qatar Airways. Its high ceilings, wide seats, straight walls and well-regulated cabin pressure make it feel more spacious than other aircraft, especially in Business Class. A direct competitor of the Boeing 787, it has a number of similar features, including a quiet engine and ambient lighting. It also boasts a high air quality, with the air refreshed every 2-3 minutes, allowing temperature and humidity to remain constant. Unlike the 787 however, the windows on this aircraft are pull down, so it gets pretty dark when the lights go out.
Similar to the 787, cost-effective, weight-saving materials in the wings and fuselage make the A350 a particularly fuel-efficient aircraft. Furthermore, the aircraft’s wing design has taken influence from birds, changing shape when in the air to increase efficiency and reduce drag, further reducing fuel consumption.
Currently, none of the airlines operating the Airbus A350 offer First Class cabins, so if luxury is important to you, you’ll need to book an Airbus A380 flight instead.
First commercial flight: 2007
Seats: 525-830 passengers
Operated by: Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qantas, Etihad Airways
Number in service: 222 as of December 2017
If its luxury and comfort you are after, then the quiet, smooth and roomy Airbus A380 is the plane for you. Despite launching in 2007, it’s still the largest commercial plane in use, and is very popular. Airlines operating this aircraft enjoy its double decker design, which gives them more flexibility in cabin layout. In the case of Emirates and Qatar Airways, the A380 is fitted with an onboard bar and First and Business Class lounge, while Emirates also offers inflight spa showers. Etihad have gone one step further with their flagship suites, known as The Residence, 125-square-foot apartments featuring a lounge, an ensuite shower room and a double bedroom, as well as the services of your own personal in-flight butler. As you might expect, these suites come at a price, with a one-way flight from London to Abu Dhabi for two people costing around £7,000.
The Airbus A380 is particularly quiet thanks to its special noise reduction features. Furthermore, its novel wing design makes it very stable for such a large aircraft, so if you’re lucky with the weather you’ll barely notice you’re in-flight.
Although the Airbus A380 does its best to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, when fitted with a lounge, bar, or First Class suites, the per person carbon footprint of this is aircraft is higher than that of the Dreamliner or the A350. It is fast though, cruising at 900km per hour, whisking you from London to Singapore in just 14 hours and 10 minutes with British Airways.
Which aircraft is best?While all three planes come highly recommended, especially in First or Business Class, if you want complete luxury and comfort when flying, then nothing beats First or Business Class seats in the Airbus A380, especially if you can stretch to Etihad’s The Residence. But if you’re on a tighter budget, or are not so bothered by the additional luxury that the A380 brings, then the A350 just as comfortable in terms of noise, light and air quality, even in Economy class. If sweeping views of the landscapes below you take your fancy then the Dreamliner is the one to go for, especially with the added bonus of its auto-dimmable windows.

Modern airplanes use a variety of fuels, some of which are more environmentally friendly than others. However, one fuel is increasingly becoming obsolete: jet fuel.
Aerospace has been working on making air travel without the need for jet fuel for many years. The latest development is a plane that relies on a new form of energy - electric. Could this be the future of aviation?
What is Aerospace?
The aerospace industry is one of the most important and well-funded in the world. It employs tens of thousands of workers in highly technical fields and is responsible for developing new technologies that help make our lives easier. Aerospace also has a significant impact on the economy. For example, the sale of airplane tickets generates billions of dollars annually.
However, the aviation industry is not immune to change. Jet fuel is one of the key ingredients in aviation technology, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to find and expensive to produce. This has led some experts to predict that newer, more efficient technologies will soon replace the aerospace industry.
What does this mean for the workers in the aerospace industry? The answer is still unclear, but it seems likely that many will need to learn new skills or find new jobs. In the short term, this could lead to a decrease in employment rates. However, over time we may see a shift towards more innovative industries that require skilled workers. We will have to wait and see what happens next in the aerospace world!
With the advent of electric and hybrid aircraft, the future of aviation looks very different from what we are used to. Experts say that by 2040, 95% of all commercial air travel will be done using electric or hybrid aircraft. This means we'll no longer rely on jet fuel to power our planes. In fact, some experts believe that electric planes could even be able to fly for hundreds of miles without needing to refuel!
This shift away from jet fuel has a lot of benefits. For one, it would reduce our reliance on oil and gas supplies. It would also create jobs in the aerospace industry as we transition to new technologies. But some challenges need to be addressed. For example, how will we charge these electric planes? And will they be able to withstand violent turbulence? These are just a few questions that need to be answered before fully adopting this new technology into our aviation system.
When the future looks pretty bright without jet fuel, electric planes could soon replace our current fleet, and manufacturers are already hard at work on these types of planes. But what about the rest of aviation? Will we see any more traditional airplanes in the future?
Manufacturers are hard at work on electric airplanes, but what about traditional airplanes?
Electric planes could soon replace our current fleet, but what about the rest of aviation? Traditional airplanes are still famous to many people, and manufacturers are hard at work on new designs incorporating electric propulsion. Some companies are even developing planes that can fly without any fuel at all!
Aerospace manufacturing is a growing industry, and it looks like the future will be without jet fuel. Electric planes are already in development, and with the help of batteries, this technology could become a reality within the next few decades.
How does Aerospace work?
Aerospace is the purview of designing, building, and operating aircraft. Aerospace professionals design new aircraft, test planes in the air and on the ground, and maintain them. They also work on improving aviation systems, such as airplanes' navigation equipment and collision-collision avoidanceAerospace engineers also design rocket engines and spacecraft.
Aerospace is the engineering branch that deals with designing, manufacturing and using aircraft. Aerospace engineers design aircraft components, systems, and structures. They also develop new aircraft technologies and help to maintain air traffic control systems. Aerospace engineers work in various industries, including defense, commercial aviation, and space exploration.
In the future, Aerospace may not need jet fuel. Many experts believe that we may eventually transition entirely to electric aircraft. How will we make this happen?
There are a few different ways that we could go about replacing jet fuel with electricity in aircraft. We could use batteries to store energy when needed, as we do with cars today. We could also build electric planes that are powered by solar panels or wind turbines. Finally, we could develop hybrid aircraft that combine both battery power and traditional fuels like gasoline or diesel. There are many ways to make this happen, but it will be a long process.
What Is Jet Fuel?
Jet fuel is a type of fuel that is used in jet engines. It is made up of a mix of air and fuel, and it is used to power the engines in planes. In the future, jet fuel may no longer be needed because planes may be able to fly using other types of fuels.
Jet fuel is made up of a variety of different substances, including hydrocarbons and oxygen. Natural gas has been used as a replacement for jet fuel in many planes, but it's not the only option out there. Hydrogen is another potential replacement for jet fuel and could be the future of aviation.
Hydrogen is a clean-burning fuel that doesn't produce emissions like jet fuel. It can also be stored without being affected by climate change, making it an ideal option for airplanes that need to stay in the air for extended periods. There are still some challenges to overcome before hydrogen becomes the primary source of aviation fuels. Still, its promising future makes it worth considering as a replacement for jet fuel.
Why does Aerospace rely on jet fuel?
Aerospace is one of the driving forces behind the global economy. Driven by innovation, Aerospace shapes the future and drives the economy. Aerospace relies on jet fuel to power its planes and helicopters. Without jet fuel, Aerospace would not be possible.
Jet fuel is essential to enabling aerospace products and services around the globe. It powers planes, helicopters, satellites, and more. Jet fuel is a vital part of modern-day life; without it, many aspects of our society would not function.
There are many substitutes for jet fuel, but they are not as efficient or reliable. Jet fuel is a key ingredient in aviation, and its importance will only continue to grow in the future.
Aerospace is a $2 trillion industry that relies on jet fuel to power its planes. But what comes next? The answer might surprise you.
Faradair is a clean-energy company making a significant impact in the aerospace industry. We believe that the future of aviation is without jet fuel, and we are working hard to make that happen. We are the only company dedicated to developing and commercializing alternative fuel technologies for aviation, and our products are helping to reduce emissions and save the environment.

Aerospace charts a future without jet fuel
The aviation industry is quickly moving towards alternative fuels, with electric planes expected to take off shortly. However, one fuel that has been largely overlooked is jet fuel. Jet fuel is a significant contributor to climate change and is predicted to become increasingly expensive and difficult to find as we move closer to 2030. Aerospace companies are beginning to explore alternative fuels and technologies, and it's only a matter of time until jet fuel becomes a thing of the past.
One of the most promising new technologies is hydrogen fuel cells. These cells use hydrogen gas to create electricity, which can then be used to power aircraft engines. Hydrogen fuel cells have the potential to reduce emissions by up to 90%, making them an essential part of the aviation industry's efforts to reduce their impact on the environment. Another alternative fuel that's being explored is solar power. Solar energy is abundant and free, meaning it could power aircraft engines instead of traditional fuels. However, there are some limitations to using solar energy for aircraft engines: first, solar panels need sunlight all the time, which isn't always available; second, solar energy doesn't work well in cold weather; and finally, solar panels need space to properly function.
Faradair hopes its low-emission aircraft will make flying cheaper.
In the not-too-distant future, aeronautical engineers may be hard at work designing aircraft that run on something other than jet fuel. Faradair, a startup based in Israel, believes its low-emission aircraft has the answer.
The company recently unveiled a prototype of its aircraft, which it claims can operate for thousands of hours without requiring a single drop of fuel. The airframe is made up of carbon-fiber materials and is powered by batteries.
A tiny British startup is hoping to make a little history of its own - as one of the pioneers of electrified commercial aviation.
Electric aircraft may not be a new idea, but the concept is still in its early stages. And while many companies are working on the technology, one British startup is hoping to make a little history of its own - as one of the pioneers of electrified commercial aviation.
The company, called Aera Energy, has been working on developing electric aircraft for more than a decade, and it has now released footage of its first flight in an experimental aircraft - an all-electric Hornet. The flight was made in partnership with Airbus, marking the first time an all-electric aircraft completed a scheduled passenger flight.
Aera Energy CEO Tim Hickey believes that electric aircraft have a lot of advantages over traditional jet engines. For one, they're much quieter - meaning they can operate in residential areas without causing any disturbance. They're also much more environmentally friendly - meaning they don't produce any emissions when in operation. And last but not least, they're much cheaper to run - making them a viable option for long-distance flights."
Faradair is planning to develop and sell a hybrid-electric passenger plane.
Faradair is planning to develop and sell a hybrid-electric passenger plane. The plane would be powered by electricity from a battery pack and could fly for up to 500 miles on a single charge.
Aviation's future looks a lot different than it did just a few years ago. Many predict that we will soon be flying without jet fuel, relying instead on other forms of energy like solar or wind. However, this transition won't be easy and won't happen overnight. Here's a closer look at how this new system might work.
How Will It Work?
It would have up to 19 seats and be propelled by a fan driven by an electric motor.
Aerospace has been working on a new type of airplane that would be powered by electricity. The airplane would have up to seats and be propelled by a fan driven by an electric motor.
This new airplane is called the Skyplane. Aerospace plans to make the Skyplane available to the public. The Skyplane will be much cheaper to operate than traditional airplanes, and it will be environmentally friendly.
The Skyplane is designed to replace jet fuel with electricity. This would be a significant step forward in the aviation industry. Aerospace estimates that the Skyplane could reduce air pollution by 80% and greenhouse gas emissions by 50%.
Aerospace is a very important part of the aviation industry, and their work on the Skyplane is a sign of the future. They pave the way for a safe, environmentally-friendly future without jet fuel.
A small gas turbine would provide the necessary electricity.
The aviation industry is in for a big change soon, thanks to new technologies in jet fuel. Airbus is working on a new type of jet fuel that doesn't require traditional jet fuel, such as kerosene or gasoline. Instead, this new fuel uses a liquid mixture of hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
This technology is still in the testing phase, but if it proves successful, it could revolutionize aviation. First of all, there would be a less environmental impact because the fuel doesn't require drilling for resources like oil. Second, airplanes could travel much further without refueling – up to 3,000 miles! That means shorter flights between major cities around the world. And finally, this new fuel would be much cheaper than traditional jet fuels – making air travel more accessible for everyone.
The electric engine would have to be small enough to fit on the outside of a plane. The aviation industry is looking into the possibility of solar-powered planes.
Aerospace has been working on developing electric planes for years, and the technology is advancing quickly. Solar-powered planes are becoming more and more common, and they represent the future of aviation. Gas turbines would need to be replaced with small electric engines, which would need to be small enough to fit outside a plane. These engines would also need to be efficient to produce as little noise as possible.
It would also have a triple-level wing to provide extra lift and allow take-offs and landings from short runways.
The aircraft would have a hybrid engine that uses jet and rocket engines.
Despite having state-of-the-art aerodynamics, it would give it a passing resemblance to a World War One fighter.
The energy of compressed air propels this experimental aircraft, and it has the potential to reduce aviation's dependence on jet fuel dramatically.
The Airborne Aeromotive Engine (AAE), or "hybrid engine," was first developed by researchers at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.
Since its inception, the AAE has been a research focus for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado.
The hybrid engine has recently caught the attention of aerospace companies. Airbus and Rolls-Royce have announced plans to develop a hybrid engine for commercial aircraft.
The AAE is a kind of hybrid engine that uses compressed air as its fuel source. The engine emits only water vapor and heat, making it an environmentally friendly option for aviation.
Traditional jet engines rely on jet fuel to produce thrust. Jet fuel is made up of molecules that are combined to create a hot gas that is used to push the airplane through the air. The AAE differs from traditional jet engines because it does not rely on hot gas to produce thrust. Instead, it uses compressed air to generate thrust. The AAE was explicitly designed for use in aircraft applications.
Statement of The company's chief executive, Neil Cloughley
The company's chief executive, Neil Cloughley, argues that such a plane would have far fewer moving parts than a conventional propeller aircraft, making it cheaper to run.
Aerospace is on the cusp of a future without jet fuel. Jet engines have been the dominant propulsion system in air transportation for over 50 years, but their reliance on fossil fuels means that they will eventually become obsolete.
Aerosols created by the engine exhaust contain a range of pollutants, including nitrogen oxide, which can cause respiratory problems and heart disease. Additive manufacturing is already being used to create aircraft components that are more environmentally friendly, such as solar panels and biofuel cells. As additive manufacturing technology improves, aircraft components will likely be made using this sustainable approach.
It would also be much quieter, and produce fewer emissions.
The aviation industry is quickly transitioning towards greener technologies, as jets run on a fuel that emits pollutants and contributes to climate change. However, new developments in Aerospace are paving the way for a future without jet fuel. Several companies are working on developing alternative fuels that could replace jet fuel in aviation, and some of these fuels have already been tested in planes.
One such fuel is biofuels made from plant matter. These fuels are renewable, biodegradable, and do not produce emissions contributing to climate change. Additionally, biofuels can be used in conventional aircraft engines, which opens up new possibilities for commercial adoption.
Other alternative fuels being developed for aviation include hydrogen and solar energy. Hydrogen fuel cells use water as the hydrogen source, making it an environmentally friendly option. Solar energy can be collected and used to power aircraft engines, which eliminates the need for fossil fuels.
These technologies have still been in development for quite some time, but they are promising alternatives to jet fuel. If they can be successfully developed and adopted by the aviation industry, it would herald a future without jet fuel.
The Faradair Design would allow short hops between cities such as London and Manchester for £25 each way.
Aerospace manufacturer, Faradair has announced plans to develop a new type of aircraft using jet fuel sparingly. The Faradair Design would allow short hops between cities such as London and Manchester for £25 each way. This would be a huge step forward in reducing the environmental impact of transportation.
Faradair's new design is based on the principle of reconfigurable wings. This means that the wings can be adjusted to change their shape and size to improve performance. The company says this technology could eventually be used on passenger and cargo planes.
This announcement comes after NASA announced plans to develop a similar type of aircraft project, known as the Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator (LDSD), which is designed to reduce the environmental impact of transportation by flying at lower altitudes.
These developments are a sign of progress towards a future without jet fuel. They show that innovation is key to solving the problems posed by today's pollution levels.
In more remote or inaccessible regions, such planes could provide a transport lifeline from small airstrips.
As we move further into the future, more and more people are starting to think about ways aviation could be done without jet fuel. This is because there are a lot of places in the world where it is simply not possible or practical to get access to regular airports. In these cases, planes could instead use alternative fuels, such as solar or wind power.
One of the reasons that this type of aviation is becoming more popular is because it is becoming easier and easier to find new places to fly to. For example, you can fly to many Antarctica destinations using only traditional aircraft. These are icebreakers; ships can travel all around the continent. So, while some locations may still be too remote or dangerous for regular airports, planes can now serve as much-needed transport infrastructure in these areas.
Faradair plans to have the aircraft flying by 2025 with commercial use starting in 2027.
Aerospace company Faradair has announced plans to have an aircraft flying without a jet y the end of the decade and is using a new technology called directed energy flight.
This technology uses lasers to create thrust instead of using jet engines. This eliminates the need for fuel, making the aircraft much more environmentally friendly.
Directed energy flight is still in its early stages, but Faradair is confident that it can eventually replace jet fuel completely. If successful, this could have a huge impact on the aviation industry.
The progress of electric aviation
Electric airplanes have been around for a while, but they've never really taken off. That could soon change as aviation giants like Boeing and Airbus invest in technology.
There are several reasons why electric planes are becoming more popular. First of all, they're much cheaper to operate than traditional planes. Second, they don't need a lot of fuel to get them started, which means they can be used for shorter flights. And finally, they're much quieter than their gas-powered counterparts.
There are still some challenges facing electric airplanes, most notably battery costs. But overall, the technology is progressing rapidly, and there's no telling where it'll take us next.
The impact of renewable energy on Aerospace
Renewable energy is booming, and the aerospace industry is starting to take notice. Solar and wind power are both growing rapidly, and many experts believe they will soon become the dominant sources of energy for aircraft.
The reason renewable energy is so powerful is that it doesn't require a lot of initial investment. In fact, most renewables generate power without using combustion, which means they create less pollution than traditional sources of energy. That's especially important for aircraft, because they're notorious for generating a lot of air pollution.
The biggest challenge facing the aerospace industry right now is finding a way to convert all of its planes to run on renewable energy. But as the technology improves, there will likely be more planes powered by solar and wind cells.
Aerospace is on the forefront of research and development for alternative fuel sources, and it seems like jet fuel might be on its way out. In a recent article in The Guardian, aerospace engineers discuss their plans to one day operate airplanes without using traditional fuels such as jet fuel. They believe that alternate sources of energy, such as solar and wind power, can provide a more cost-effective solution in the future. While this technology is still in its early stages, it's clear that aviation will be looking into alternative fuel sources in the years to come. | aerospace |

It is being considered that an orbiter which will be placed on Mars orbit, a Lander & Rover which will be landed on Mars surface.
“The Mangalyaan-2 will be launched from ISRO’s launch site Shriharikota by the launch vehicle GSLV-III in the year 2020 as expected.”
And here is a New year good news for us and that is another Moon mission by ISRO. In the year 2008 ISRO’s lunar spacecraft Chandrayaan-1 was successful.
Now its planning to build another spacecraft for 2nd Lunar mission which has been named as Chandrayaan-2. ISRO scientists are experimenting on this on a Mockup Lunar surface. And this year (2017) Chandrayaan-2 will be launched towards Moon, but this time its mission is not capturing Lunar surface. Actually ISRO is planning to install a space Telescope on Lunar surface through Chandrayaan-2, as ISRO chairman Kiran Kumar said. ISRO is having a deep discussion with the Madras IIT students. Even the discussion will reach globally. At present ISRO has installed Telescopes at Hanle, Leh & Ladakh, which are being operated from Bengaluru.
ISRO is also going to build a world record by sending maximum 83 satellites through one space vehicle till the date. | aerospace |

Saliba)
The main objective is to discuss a possible technology transfer across disciplines. The idea is to bring together scientists from space research and ground development, from time transfer techniques and radio-science missions; from the time/frequency community, as well as from the Earth sciences, fundamental physics and solar system exploration communities, in order to study, e.g., by extensive numerical simulation, possible improvements in applications when including local clock measurements at 10-18 (1 cm level in geopotential height difference). The outcome would be proposals for improvements (if any) in a number of research fields. For example, in Earth sciences, improvements could concern global and regional gravity field models, with specific geophysical applications when using in combination different satellite data (GOCE, GRACE, etc.), ground gravimetry and levelling, precise positioning, etc. New proposals for solar-system exploration and for fundamental physics are also expected outcomes of this workshop. | aerospace |

The photos were taken by two jumping robotic rovers and they show the rocky surface of the asteroid named Ryugu about 170 million miles away.
It took more than three years for the Hayabusa2 spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the asteroid.
A little over a week ago, it dropped a small capsule with two rovers onto its surface. The rovers are about the size of a round cookie sheet, and they don't have wheels – they just jump around to different locations on the asteroid.
Later on, the main probe will land on the asteroid, collect a sample, and then bring it back to earth, late in the year 2020.
Ryugu is believed to be a spherical asteroid that's roughly 3,000 feet across – that's nearly twice as tall as the Freedom Tower in New York City.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) reports the orbit of Ryugu takes the asteroid between the Earth and Mars.
This image from JAXA shows the orbit of Ryugu. | aerospace |

By Martin Zeilig – The Voxair
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette, the 29th Governor General and Commander-in-Chief of Canada, visited 17 Wing Winnipeg on November 27, 2018.
Julie Payette, a native of Montreal, Quebec, was an astronaut, engineer, scientific broadcaster and corporate director, before becoming Governor General. From 1992 to 2013, the Governor General, who speaks six languages, worked as an astronaut and flew two missions in space. She also served many years as CAPCOM (Capsule Communicator) at NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas, and was Chief Astronaut for the Canadian Space Agency.
Her Excellency, wearing a green flight suit with a space flight patch on shoulder, was shown around 16 Hangar, the home of 435 Transport and Search Squadron and 402 City of Winnipeg Squadron. Brigadier-General Mario Leblanc, Commander 2 Canadian Air Division and Colonel Eric Charron, Wing Commander, 17 Wing Winnipeg, hosted the visit.
“It’s a great honour having her visit us,” Colonel Charron said. He also remarked that the Governor General is a great speaker, noting that she spoke “a little bit” about her experience in space and mentioned that she saw Manitoba “for about a minute” from the International Space Station.
“Just last month we provided a Guard of Honour from 17 Wing to Detachment Dundurn when she went to Saskatchewan for the first time,” Col Charron said.
Master Corporal Chad Banks, an aviation systems technician at 435 Sqn, said Governor General Payette’s visit was a once in a lifetime opportunity. “It’s nice to have people of her stature come in and see what we do,” he added.
During an inspection inside the flight deck of the C-130 Hercules, led by Captain Gail Beaudoin, a pilot with 435 Sqn, Governor General Payette engaged members of the media. “We are open for business,” she continued in response to a question about her message for Canadians. “We welcome people. We are based on values of freedom, openness and democracy.”
“However, we also have defence,” she continued. “That’s very important. It ensures the sovereignty of our borders and to defend ourselves. We’ll answer the call for other people in need, our friends and allies. That’s why we need to be ready all the time.”
Governor General Payette praised the Canadian Armed Forces for their ability to help out “right here on the ground in Canada” when there’s a natural disaster.
“I had the privilege of training as a Canadian Air Force pilot at CFB Moose Jaw,” she said. “That was before I was sent to train as an astronaut at NASA. It really prepared me very well. By the time I ended up at NASA, I was very qualified because I had the opportunity to train with the best.”
“I’m very much at home here. I’m part of the military family. Whenever I come to a base I really feel at home. My time at 17 Wing has been too short. We’re already making plans to return, and to go out on a mission with Search and Rescue and see how they operate,” she added.
Governor General Payette also noted that members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) spend a lot of time just keeping their skills sharpened.
“That’s true of astronauts too,” she emphasized. “You’ve got to be ready every day. It requires continuous training. They (the CAF) have great career opportunities for young people, by the way.”

Performing Astronautics: Following the body’s natural edge to the abyss of space
Volume 7, Number 1, 1 June 2017, pp. 53-61(9)
For the earth-bound artist, simply imagining having an extended microgravity experience and orbital perspective is a delicious phantasmagorical feat, but the chance to embrace the astronaut 2.0 of the commercial spaceflight era is fast becoming a reality (Armstrong 2014: 131). As a live artist I have gained valuable insights by working as a commercial diver and simulation astronaut, and I am now training for suborbital flight (Pothier 2014: 121). The aim of my body of work is to develop effective research strands and successful partnerships that will address the urgent need for knowledge of changes in human expression caused and inspired by these extreme environmental interactions. The underexplored bodily transformation beyond the impact of the Earth’s environment inspires new directions in my work from sea, to summit, to space. Performing Astronautics (2017–18) builds on my ongoing experimental and emerging aquatic arts practice (Pell 2014: 98). Its ambition is to first address the challenge of translating first-person tacit knowledge embedded in the astronautic body (Garan 2015) and connecting this with existing theoretical understandings of space-based embodiment from an Earth-based logic (Pell and Mueller 2016) (grounded, pedestrian, linear) and sea-based sensitivity (buoyant, hydrous, flowing) (Pothier 2014: 123) and then, by connecting performing arts practice with astronautics, externalizing how space impacts the human body/mind cadence to alter motion, rhythm, and perception of time/place spatiality in new ways. The opportunity to harness the oftenintangible qualities of microgravity experience into an Earthly practice proposes to start to build somatic or corporeal literacy of the environmental impact of outer space on contemporary performance. New strategies for space adaptation, greater opportunities for personal expression and degrees of freedom, and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer for future mission performance may also arise. | aerospace |

After a briefing on safety and the flight conditions, you will put on the same headphones and microphones as your pilot, hearing every bit of radio communication as your plane takes off. Upon reaching a cruising altitude of 1500 ft, your pilot will fly your plane past the Olympic compound at Homebush Bay before circling the suburban areas of St Ives and Hornsby. Next is the iconic harbour, with landmarks like the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, and even the Prime Minister’s house at Kirribilli.
If time permits, your pilot will fly you to Rose Bay and the surfers at Bondi Beach before flying north over Middle Harbour, the boats and the bridge at the Spit, and the beach at Manly as your plane traces the coastline towards Long Reef.
Finally, your pilot will entertain you with aerobatic manoeuvres like loops and rolls, before flying you back to the airfield.
After this bird’s eye view, Sydney will never seem the same way again. | aerospace |

Mumbai. The Home Ministry has given security clearance to Jet Airways and it is expected that the company will start its services soon. On May 5, Jet Airways did a test flight from Hyderabad to Delhi. The company's CEO has called it an 'emotional moment'. The company's new CEO Sanjeev Kapoor had said a few days ago that after the renewal of the Air Operator's Certificate, the company is planning to start flying in the July-September quarter itself. The company expects to get the certificate in early May.
Jet Airways was closed due to heavy debt
Jet Airways was started in the early 1990s by ticketing agent-turned-entrepreneur Naresh Goyal. He gave alternative of Air India to the people by starting Jet Airways. At one time, Jet had a total of 120 planes. Operating with the tag line 'The Joy of Flying', the company used to operate 650 flights a day when it was at its peak.
However, when the company closed down, it was left with only 16 planes. As of March 2019, the company's loss was Rs 5,535.75 crore. The company was closed on 17 April 2019 due to heavy debt.
Akash Air can also start by May-June
Akash Air Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Vinay Dubey had told a few days ago that the airline's first commercial flight is expected to start in the month of June. It plans to build a fleet of 18 aircraft in the first 12 months of the commencement of operations and thereafter the airline will add 12-14 aircraft every year. | aerospace |

With the star attendee, the F-35, being involved in a fire incident a matter of weeks prior to the airshow whether the aircraft would be given flight approval in time for the event was on the tip of everyones tongues. Michael Buckle reports from RAF Fairford.
The success of the RIAT 2014 was always going to be a difficult prediction to make. With the US military budget sequestration causing lack of United States Air Force (USAF) participation during 2013 which hit the static park quite hard only to be saved by key items such as the Super Constellation and Hellenic EMB145H, what 2014 could bring to the table was up in the air.
It quickly became apparent that there would be a continual lack of serious participation from the USAF. But as RIAT 2014 coincides with the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA), a predominantly trade show that’s hosted biennially, it was able to secure the European debut of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Otherwise known as ‘Dave’ within the aviation community, like most projects the F-35 has had its fair share of problems but a matter of weeks prior their departure to the UK a fire was reported on board a F-35A at Eglin AFB, Florida causing the grounding of the entire fleet. The internet forums were rife with rumour and speculation, but ultimately the US Department of Defence were unable to lift the grounding of the aircraft until the show was over. When the grounding was eventually lifted a restriction was placed on the aircraft than an engine inspection must undertaken after 3 hours of flight time, making a transatlantic crossing impossible. The restriction therefore stopped the aircraft from participating in FIA also. Although their lack of attendance did disappoint many enthusiasts, safety and also the projects reputation is paramount.
The F-35 unfortunately wasn’t the only cancellation of the event, the Swiss Hawker Hunter F58 from the Swiss Hunter Team was unable to depart St Gallen Airport due to poor weather conditions en-route (which impacted a number of the arrivals during Wednesday and Thursday) during which the aircraft would be flying under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). The beautifully painted jet was due to join the Patrouille Suisse to carry out a flypast with to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the team – a sight I’m sure many were looking forward to. Rolls Royce had a technical issues with their Supermarine Spitfire PRXIX (G-RRGN) which was therefore also unable to make it to the event. Technical issues with both airframes available to the event also stopped the Royal Navy Merlin HM2 from performing it’s display on Friday and Saturday but hard work from the crews allowed the RNAS Culdrose based helicopter to perform as the penultimate item on Sunday.
As an advanced ticket only event, Saturday sold out two weeks before the first aircraft touched down at RAF Fairford and Sunday become close to a sell out. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows a ‘Pit Day’ was hosted on Friday adding an extra day to the usual two-day event. Priced slightly cheaper than a Saturday/Sunday ticket the ‘pit day’ provided controlled access to the RAF Red Arrows and other display teams in addition to the Park and View East facility for the mornings arrivals. The afternoon provided a three hour flying display, starting at 13:00 and displays included the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16AM, two Eurofighter Typhoon displays provided by the RAF and Italian Air Force, and rotary displays by the Lynx AH7 and Apache AH1 of the Army Air Corps. Many enthusiasts came away disappointed by the event, with the access to the Red Arrows not being much more than that provided on the main show days and engine and cockpit covers being left on many other display aircraft spoiling photographs.
RIAT likes to pride itself on bringing together unique formations of aircraft for the enthusiasts to enjoy, especially when they can involve the Red Arrows. From 2003 when the crowds admired a F-117A and Red Arrows flying through Fairford’s airspace to 10 years later when the Red’s joined the Airbus A400M for a special flypast of the RAF’s future. With the team celebrating their 50th Anniversary, the display organisers at Douglas Bader House went to work on bringing the leaders from four different display teams together to perform a special display flypaston the Friday afternoon. The lead aircraft from the Patrouille de France, Frecce Tricolori, Patrouille Suisse and Breitling Jet Team all came together with the nine BAe Hawk T1 aircraft from the Red Arrows to perform the special anniversary flypast before performing their full display.
The sell out crowd on Saturday were blessed with beautiful sunshine from sunrise through to sunset, with rain rolling in over night leaving Sunday to start overcast with drizzle. Thankfully sunny spells moved in during mid-afternoon but the initial low cloud base caused flat displays from many of the display items.
The static display once again appeared a little sparse with a lack of ‘large’ RAF and USAF participation. The US did at short notice provide a KC-135R and F-15E from their UK stations – RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath. The United States Navy (USN) returned to the UK with their Boeing P-8A Poseidon marking its debut visit to RIAT. The aircraft, which is a relatively new addition to the USN fleet, made it’s first visit to the UK in 2012 to participate in Exercise Joint Warrior at RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland. Operationally, the aircraft will replace the P-3 Orion and is designed to carry out long-range reconnaissance, intelligence and anti-submarine warfare missions.
A return visitor after making its RIAT debut in 2012 was the Japanese Air Self Defence Force Boeing 767J from 404 Hikotai making the long flight from Komaki AB – a participant welcomed by the enthusiasts and a great filler to the static park. An aircraft type which is unlikely to be seen within the UK again was provided by the Hellenic Air Force with two of their A-7 Corsair II attack aircraft. As the only remaining operator of the Corsair, the visit is likely to be the final overseas deployment of the type prior to their retirement in late 2014. To mark the special occasion two special scheme aircraft were provided to the show; A black ‘Fly Low, Hit Hard’ scheme and wrap around camouflage, with the former sporting ‘RIAT 2014’ markings and being presented with the “Best Paint Scheme” award on Sunday evening.
A new type which did manage make it to the event, as part of a combined visit to both RIAT and FIA, was the Textron AirLand Scorpion. The fast jet has been marketed as an ‘affordable’ strike and reconnaissance airframe which has the ability to carry precision strike munitions plus a selection of reconnaissance sensors within it’s internal payload bay. The aircraft can also sport a retractable Forward Looking Inferred Camera (FLIR), providing the ability to lower the sensor when required, reducing drag when the sensor is not in use. The aircraft departed the static park mid-afternoon on Sunday to take it’s position at FIA, where the manufacture hopes to raise purchase interest in the type.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the General Dynamics/Lockheed Martin F-16 the Belgian, Netherlands, Danish and Norwegian air forces provided a total of seven F-16s which lined up throughout the red static park. Unfortunately no F-16s were provided by the USAF due to their on-going budget cuts. Also disappointing was the lack of the ‘Orange Lion’ Dutch F-16 which everyone had become accustomed to, the schemed aircraft having been removed from the display circuit for 2014 and returned to an operational grey scheme. This year Flt Lt Jeroen “Slick” Dickens from Leeuwarden Air Base, Netherlands is piloting a ‘plain’ operational F-16, rather than a dedicated display jet in a vibrant display scheme. Other Air Forces representing the F-16 in the flying display were the Belgain Air Force and SoloTurk from the Turkish Air Force.
The Polish Air Force contributed two SU-22 Fitters to the flying display, breaking a 19 year absence from the UK of the type. Although not the most photo friendly nor the most routined of displays, it was great for the enthusiast to sit back and enjoy the roar from the AL-21F-3 turbojet engine as the two cold war aircraft performed several low run and breaks over the airfield.
In addition to the Fitters, the Polish Air Force also sent one of their two national display teams, the Orlik Aerobatic Team, flying their PZL-130 Orlik aircraft. The team hasn’t attended RIAT for 15 years after their attendance in the 1999 airshow at Fairford, only a year after the team were formed and the 50th Anniversary of the Red Arrows provided the perfect opportunity for the team to return to the show.
With Breitling being a key corporate sponsor for the Air Tattoo, both of their sponsored display teams were back at the show. The Breitling Jet Team and Breitling Wing Walkers both performed in front of the sponsors tent at crowd center during the event. The Jet Team are the worlds largest civilian jet aerobatic display team flying seven L-39 Albatros aircraft in close formation. Their colleagues in the Wingwalker team are based at near-by Rendcomb airfield in Cirencester and carried out their display using a full complement of four Boeing Stearmans with glamorous girls strapped to a harness on the top wing.
The RAF provided their Tucano T1, Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 and Chinook HC2 displays. The Tucano display often struggles to make an impact on such a large display line, with its lack of presence which displays like the Typhoon and F-16 can provide using their performance. However, the topside photo pass to begin and complete the display is always a welcome addition for the photographers amongst the crowd. The Chinook was unable to perform on Friday due to technical issues, but the on site ground crew resolved the issues in time for the performance on Saturday.
A future RAF asset once again returned to the flying display in 2014, the Airbus A400M. The strategic tactical airlifter has now been delivered to both the French Air Force and Turkish Air Force, with deliveries to the RAF expected in September 2014. The ‘Atlas’ performed a very versatile and dynamic display and is expected to enter operational service in March 2015 at RAF Brize Norton, the RAF’s main transport hub.
Bringing a fantastic operational feel to the display was the Army Air Corps Apache AH1 role demo. In the past we’ve often seen pyro technics and pre-recorded communications used to great effect in demos such as the RAF Tornado Role Demo and the AAC Apache demo certainly provides the same feel. With simulated enemy contact towards a ground unit the Apache was called by the units Forward Air Controller, call sign “Hammer”, the Apache carried out multiple simulated combat strikes towards the enemy with large pyrotechnics simulating the impact. The display allows for great photographs and is no doubt a valuable way of gaining recruitment interest.
Fast jet displays included the Italian Air Force AMX A-11 and Tornado IDS, Austrian Air Force Saab J-105 and two F/A-18 displays; one provided by the Swiss Air Force using a ‘C’ variant and a ‘F’ Super Hornet variant provided by Boeing, which unfortunately departed for Farnborough prior to the Sunday display – a real disappointment for many expecting to see it perform.
2014 also marked the end of an era for the Air Tattoo, as a new Chief Executive takes over the role from Tim Price who has chaired the position since 1972. His successor, Andy Armstrong was appointed in the role in March 2014 and spoke of his excitement to take control:
“I am genuinely excited and feel very privileged to be taking over the controls of such a unique organisation. I’m enjoying meeting the extraordinary volunteers, about whom I have heard so much”.
Tim Prince spoke after being awarded the RIAT Sword of Merit for his great work and commitment in the past 45 years:
“Can I just say a big thank you: I’ve had a great time running this event with a lot of good people – Paul Bowen and everybody that’s been on the team. Many have passed on now but together we’ve all believed in achieving the impossible and over the years we’ve done some outstanding things.”
With the disappointment of the F-35 cancellation being dampened by great weather throughout the event and a few star attractions, RIAT 2014 will certainly be memorable. We’ll have wait in suspense to see what RIAT 2015, under its new leadership, can provide. | aerospace |

The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Doc8643
document contains designators for those aircraft types which are most commonly provided with air traffic service (ATS). It was originally prepared as a result of recommendations of the Rules of the Air and Air Traffic Services/Operations Divisional Meeting (May 1963) and the Third Meeting of the Air Traffic Control Automation Panel (October 1963) and was published in accordance with directives of the Council. As a result of the substantial comments received from the air traffic services units, the most common operational users of designators, the Secretariat with the assistance from Air Traffic Control The Netherlands and the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL), undertook in 1996 a major revision of the document. The revision was done with the aim of ensuring that the document satisfies its original purpose and amended to accommodate the increased use of automation in ATS and in data exchange.

Three-quarters of the world’s mining companies are incorporated in Canada. But as the global industry prepares for its greatest leap since mechanization, Canada risks losing that leadership position – unless it takes sides in a debate over the private ownership of minerals found in space.
The United States has already shown an interest in asteroids, some of which pass quite close to Earth and might be exceedingly rich in heavy elements such as cobalt, gold, platinum, rhodium and tungsten. Later this year, NASA will launch a spacecraft, the Osiris-Rex, on a mission to retrieve a mineral sample from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu.
Canada is providing Osiris-Rex’s laser altimeter, which will map the surface of the 500-metre-diameter asteroid. This will enable scientists to determine the best site for the spacecraft to touch down, briefly, to collect the sample. The altimeter has been built by MacDonald Dettwiler and Associates Ltd., the manufacturer of the Canadarm, on a $61-million contract to the Canadian Space Agency.
Although the primary mission of the Osiris-Rex is to collect data for scientific purposes, the project’s leader, Dante Lauretta, readily admits that it will also “develop important technologies for asteroid exploration that will benefit anyone interested in exploring or mining asteroids, whether it’s NASA or a private company.”
In return for providing the altimeter, Canada will receive a portion of any sample obtained. However, NASA and the Canadian Space Agency are unlikely to ever engage in actual mining. This will be left to the private sector, and the company leading the way is based in the United States.

A senior DGCA official confirmed on Wednesday that an ICAO Coordinated Validation Mission (ICVM) was conducted from November 9 to 16 this year as part of the ICAO’s Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) continuous monitoring approach. Legislation, Organization, Personal Licensing, Operations, Airworthiness, and Aerodromes were all audited.
“According to early reports, the Mission was a huge success. “While the formal communication from ICAO will be received in due course, it is to be noted that this is India’s best performance to date,” he said, adding that “while the formal communication from ICAO will be received in due course, it is to be noted that this is India’s best performance to date.”” The ICAO’s USOAP focuses on a state’s capability to provide safety oversight by assessing whether the state has effectively and consistently implemented the critical elements (CEs) of a safety oversight system. This allows the state to ensure that the ICAO’s safety-related Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), as well as associated procedures and guidance material, are followed. Furthermore, it allows ICAO to continuously monitor states’ compliance with their safety oversight obligations.
After being severely impacted by Covid-19, the Indian civil aviation sector is recovering. It is regaining traction. The International Civil Aviation Organization is a United Nations specialised agency that coordinates the principles and techniques of international air navigation and promotes the planning and development of international air transport in order to ensure safe and orderly growth. | aerospace |

“The International Space Station (ISS) takes a mere half a second to cross the solar or lunar disk. Photographing it usually involves travelling hundreds of miles and often, several failed attempts.”
The greatest joy of looking through a telescope, for me, is in the fleeting moment, like the ISS passing by, which is best visible when lit by the sun over the horizon. This shot was my 30th attempt, and the moon was highest in the sky, making the station appear larger, and much closer.
Why Multiple Photos Help
Usually, astrophotos may need you to stack several long exposures, but while shooting pictures like these, you would want to use the Burst mode instead, considering how quickly celestial bodies and space stations move. | aerospace |

This website accounts some of my work related to model airplane engines and hobby machining. I modify or convert off the shelf engines for diesel (compression ignition), spark ignition, or other special applications. Some time in 2005 I found new interest in model diesel engines after flying only electric model aircraft since 1997 or so. Before that I learned to fly models with diesel powered aircraft. I was dissappointed to learn that since my introduction to model diesels, not much had changed. A little before this I equipped my hobby shop with a metal cutting lathe and mill. I found some discussion about four stroke diesels on the web, which ignited what I present here. What can't be bought, can be made. I have basic information and videos about the engines and projects on the site. My blog contains website updates and other photos from events.

During this weekend, the NASA rover landed the Ingenuity helicopter, which had until then been fixed under its chassis. The release procedure took place in several sequences last week. Ingenuity spent its first night in the open, braving the extreme temperatures of Mars that can drop to -90 degrees Celsius. Conditions that could damage Ingenuity’s electronics and batteries. NASA called the helicopter’s survival a milestone ” major ”
Ingenuity will now begin a verification phase of all its systems, release its blades and test its motors. If all goes according to plan, the first flight could take place on April 11. The craft will rise about three meters above the ground for 30 seconds. If successful, several other flights are scheduled. They will not last more than a few minutes at five meters above sea level for a maximum distance of fifty meters. Ingenuity carries two cameras pointed towards the ground and the front. Perseverance will follow its exploits from a vantage point.
This helicopter is a key technology demonstrator for NASA. The success of this test would pave the way for a new model of extraterrestrial exploration. The American space agency also sees it as such a strong symbol for the history of aviation that Ingenuity takes a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers’ plane. The mission of this aircraft is to last 31 land days.

To an astronomer, a satellite is anything that orbits around a planet. The Moon is the Earth's biggest satellite. But you probably wanted to know about man-made satellites.
What keeps any satellite in orbit? First, any object in space keeps on moving at a constant speed in a straight line unless something (called a force) makes it change. For any satellite of a planet, the force is gravity, which makes the satellite fall towards the planet. If the satellite started out standing still, it would just fall back to Earth. But it doesn't because it is moving rapidly sideways. It moves so fast that by the time it would have fallen, it is partway around the orbit.
Anyway, man-made satellites are actually machines, put into orbit by rockets. Most of them have radio transmitters. Some have radio receivers, some have cameras, some have telescopes, and so on It depends what job they were designed to do. Usually, they get their energy from solar cells which are turned to face the sun.
Pierre Kerr, email@example.com, adds...
One of the uses of satellites is to take pictures of the Earth. If you watch the weather on TV, you will probably see satellite pictures showing clouds. Here is a picture I got from the InterNet showing a satellite's view of a hurricane. As well is a typical weather picture with lines added by the weatherman.

First-ever SpaceX rocket takes flight from Vandenberg Air Force Base
By AMY ASMAN
A Falcon-9 rocket took to the sky Sept. 29 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc. It was the first launch of a rocket belonging to Space Exploration Technologies, better known as SpaceX.
The 30th Space Wing’s 1st Air and Space Test Squadron oversaw the mission, evaluating SpaceX’s flight and ground systems and processes and procedures for the inaugural launch.
In 2012, the Hawthorne-based company took over Space Complex 4, the former home of the Titan IV program, investing upward of $30 million to renovate the existing facility and build a massive hanger to house and assemble its Falcon Heavy rocket.
“The work SpaceX does is incredibly exciting,” SpaceX spokesperson Kirstin Grantham told the Sun in a February 2012 interview. “We are hoping to fundamentally change American space flight and the space flight industry, and Vandenberg is going to be an incredibly important home for SpaceX as we start to carry out those efforts.”
Second Lt. Kaylee Ausbun, a spokesperson for Vandenberg Air Force Base, said having another space exploration company on base in addition to United Launch Alliance will help foster more competition.
“Obviously we’re always looking to create a more competitive environment,” Ausbun said. “Having another customer on base will allow for possibly more launches, and it will bring more jobs to Vandenberg.”
She said the base expects to have three more SpaceX launches next year.
A SpaceX media representative couldn’t be reached for additional comment as of press time.

Ralph Parr began his career as part of the Army Air Force in 1942. He is the only American pilot to receive both the Distinguished Service Cross and the Air Force Cross. During World War II, he flew the P-38 Lightning in the Philippines, and he was an F-86 pilot during the Korean War. In May 1953, Parr achieved ace status with five kills in 11 days. He achieved double ace status in July 1953 when he made 10 kills in a seven-week period during the Korean War. On June 7, he was on a fighter sweep to intercept and destroy enemy planes over North Korea. He was looking north toward China when he saw four MiG fighters firing at them. After the initial confrontation, Parr realized there were more MiGs than he’d thought. “As I closed rapidly to about 4,000 feet, I noticed there weren’t two, there were four. No, there were eight. Then, off to my left, I saw eight more. Immediately, I decided to put a big notch in the MiG leader.” He downed another MiG and damaged one other, adding another kill three days later. On June 18, he notched two more victories while protecting fighter bombers striking targets in North Korea, making double ace status with his 10th kill July 27. During his career, Parr flew 641 combat missions with more than 6,000 hours and earned more than 60 decorations, including a Silver Star, 10 Distinguished Flying Crosses and 41 Air Medals. Colonel Parr retired in 1976. | aerospace |

I got up early and headed to the airport to fly to Peg's Toms River house. Winds were 6 from 28, winds at 2000 were 22 going down to the shore and was just a short 30 min trip ( nice tail wind ). I called up McGuire approach (McGuire AFB) and went straight through the military space. I wish I had my camera going as I was instructed maintain my heading and 3000 ft altitude so a KC 10 Tanker taking off and could passed 1000 feet underneath me.
I landed at Ocean County Airport (KMJX) and tied down N25DV, then got the rental car. I was at the house working in 8 mins. It was better to fly verses the 2.3 hour drive. So round trip was about a 1 hour flying instead of 5 hours in the truck.
Got back to the KMJX and the wind was up to 10 kts gusting to 15 kts and just east of there at McGuire AFB, winds were 12kts gusting to 22 kts. Weather was coming in with spotty showers. I navigated around some of the showers, other than a little bumpy it was a great trip. I also used the GRT autopilot and it work flawlessly after making some adjustments yesterday.

Today went out and cleaned the hanger and then played with the wing tip mounted GoPro. I flew for about 45 min, shot some stills and edited down a 1 ½ min video. The video starts with crosswind departure heading north towards ButterValley, playing with smoke in the sky and then heading back for a landing on 28.

I fabricated a GoPro mount for the RV12 wing handle last night and went flying today.
It is held by two screws and foam takes up the volume of the opening the opening.
This way I didn't permanently attach it to the wing. The top and bottom sandwich it to hold it in place. Easy on in a minute and padded to protect the paint, thanks bob for the machining
A few pictures from that view, I am still amazed how that little camera performs.
I am very happy how it turned out and it is easy to put on and take off. I still have mounts under the wing, inside the cockpit and under the tail section. | aerospace |

The Taiji program proposes to use a triangle of three spacecrafts in orbit around the Sun. Laser beams are sent both ways between each pair of spacecrafts, and the differences in the phase changes between the transmitted and received laser beams at each spacecraft are measured. The preliminary design for the Taiji mission is based on 3-million-kilometer separations between the spacecrafts, and the expected launch date is about 2033.
The purpose of Taiji programme is to study the most challenging issues concerning massive black holes, such as how the intermediate mass seed black holes were formed in the early universe, whether dark matter could form a black hole, how seed black hole grows into a large or extremely large black holes and what is the nature of gravity.
2. Progress and Results
Taiji-01 is the first experimental satellite of Taiji Programme. It marks the first under the Phase-II of the Strategic Priority Program on Space Science (SPPSS-II) sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). As professor Yueliang Wu, director of ICTP-AP, is the chief scientist of Taiji programme, ICTP-AP is responsible for the implement, scientific research and management works.
ICTP-AP was responsible for the overall planning and coordination of the Taiji-01 project. Moreover, ICTP-AP undertook the construction and development of the scientific operation system which was one of the six systems of Taiji-01 project. Moreover, ICTP-AP joined the research of the hall-effect micro thruster system.
On August 31st, 2019, Taiji-01 launched successfully from Jiuquan Satellite Launching Center in northwestern China. By the end of 2019, the in-orbit tests were successfully completed, the functions and performance indexes of the satellite met the general requirements, and the results exceed expectations.
The in-orbit tests showed that the accuracy of displacement measurement of the laser interferometer on Taiji-01 could reach a 100-picometer order of magnitude. The accuracy of the gravitational reference sensor on the satellite reached ten billionths of the magnitude of the earth's gravitational acceleration. The thrust resolution of the micro-thruster on the satellite reached submicron-Newton scale.Taiji-01 achieved China’s highest accuracy of spatial laser interferometry; successfully conducted China’s first on-orbit drag free control technology test; firstly and internationally on-orbit verification of micro-newton level radio frequency ion propulsion technology and dual mode hall-effect micro thruster technology.
3. Taiji Consortium
In May 2017, Taiji working group initiated and founded the ‘Consortium of Gravitational Wave Detection Taiji Program in Space’ on the International Symposium on Space Gravitational Wave Detection. The consortium is an academic consortium developed by the national scientific research institutions and institutions of higher learning involved in the detection of gravitational waves，which is based on the "Taiji Programme" working group of the CAS.
As an academic consortium, it aims at leveraging the strengths of long-standing multi-disciplinary talents in and out of CAS, comprehensive platform of long accumulated high-end forward-looking technology and large scientific equipment as well as the characteristics of interdisciplinary and integration of science and education in an effort to congregate all researchers nationwide dedicated to study of theory and experiment of gravitational waves to conduct research on Space Gravitational Wave Detection.
The members of the consortium are all the scientists participating in the research of Taiji Programme, and they are the specific implementation and completion personnel of the scientific research tasks of Taiji Programme.
