Iridium Communications (Nasdaq: IRDM) will proceed with the planned July launch of the first 10 satellites in its second-generation Iridium NEXT constellation, ExecutiveBiz reported Monday.
Space News reported Friday that the initial launch aboard a SpaceXFalcon 9 rocket will be followed by six other 10-satellite launches through late 2017.
Iridium CEO Matt Desch has said in a call with investors that the company completed a recent review of its existing constellation in space and found it to be in good health even beyond its original retirement date.
Airbus Defence and Space, the world’s second largest space company, will lead the project TeSeR (Technology for Self-Removal of Spacecraft) team to develop technology to reduce the risk of spacecraft colliding with debris in space.
Together with its ten European partners, the company will develop a prototype for a cost-efficient and highly reliable module to ensure that future spacecraft don’t present a collision risk once they reach the end of their nominal operational lifetimes or suffer an in-service failure. The module may also function as a removal back-up in the case of a loss of control over a spacecraft.
Airbus Defence and Space will act as the coordinator of the consortium and will be responsible for project management, technical coordination and the development of innovative attitude control systems.
SpaceX launches JCSat-14 and sticks another water landingPARIS — SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket on May 6 successfully placed Sky Perfect JSat’s JCSat-14 commercial telecommunications satellite into transfer orbit, with the rocket’s first stage landing gracefully on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
JCSat-14 manufacturer SSL of Palo Alto, California, confirmed that the satellite was healthy in geostationary transfer orbit and sending signals. SSL declined to confirm whether the final launch mass had changed from previous estimates of around 4,700 kilograms.
It was the second consecutive drone-ship touchdown by the rocket’s first stage and was accomplished despite what SpaceX officials had said were particularly challenging conditions due to the velocity necessary for the launch. The previous successful drone-ship landing, performed in April, was done following a launch of SpaceX’s Dragon capsule into low Earth orbit.
Inmarsat’s Fleet Xpress service ‘a game-changer’ for shippingDescribed as a marine game-changer, a paradigm moment in shipping and, quite literally, rocket science, the official launch of Inmarsat's Fleet Xpress (FX) service in London yesterday will change the face of commercial shipping over the next few years.
Not just commercial shipping, in fact, but potentially the offshore, fishing, leisure and workboat sectors too. This was the main message from senior Inmarsat executives as they revealed how the new service will work.
Inmarsat Maritime President, Ronald Spithout, said that everyone now wants connectivity everywhere, including at sea, both for business efficiency but also for crew welfare. He predicted an eight-fold increase in marine data traffic between now and 2020. Experts have warned repeatedly that ship connectivity will become increasingly important in the crew recruitment and retention process in the years ahead.
Orbital targets July for 1st flight of redesigned Antares rocketPARIS—Satellite and rocket builder Orbital ATK on May 5 said its re-engined Antares medium-lift launch vehicle likely would make its first flight in July and would be nicely profitable for Orbital even if it wins no other customers beyond its current NASA space station resupply business.
Dulles, Virginia-based Orbital has enough NASA station-resupply work to assure two or three Antares launches per year well into the next decade and the company expects to widen its customer set once the redesigned Antares has proven itself.
But even in a worst-case scenario in which Antares is used only for the NASA work, it will be a good business for Orbital.
Inmarsat plans to launch cyber security appInmarsat is planning to launch a cyber security service as the first application on its new Fleet Xpress satellite communications solution for shipping. The London-based company has been working with Singapore Telecommunications (Singtel) to develop a specialised application for reducing the risk of cyber attacks on ships.
The solution will use Singtel Trustwave’s Unified Threat Management (UTM) technology over Inmarsat’s combined Global Xpress and FleetBroadband service. Trustwave has developed a suite of cyber security defences, such as advanced firewalls, antivirus, intrusion preventors and web filters for other sectors.
Inmarsat Maritime president Ronald Spithout said the shipping industry needs to take action against cyber threats with solutions such as UTM. He added: “Cyber security is very important for shipping. In future months we will provide cyber security for vessels with Fleet Xpress as an optional application. With Fleet Xpress and applications we are redefining communications at sea.”
NGO Visits Paradigm’s Test Facility for Satellite Communications TrainingSave the Children International, a charity organization that sends humanitarian response teams to natural disaster and emergency sites, has used Paradigm’s test facility to train key field personnel in satellite and radio communications. A small group of international team members from the charity spent a week at the company’s facility in Alton, Hampshire in the U.K. last month to learn how to set up and deploy satellite communications equipment.
Save the Children International teams leverage satellite communications during their trips to coordinate responses, safety and security. Over the next year, the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) will be training technicians in the skills they will need to provide communications and connectivity in an emergency response setting.
Globalstar First Quarter Revenue Up 4 Percent YoYGlobalstar reported $21.8 million in total revenue for the first quarter of 2016, up 4 percent from first quarter 2015’s $21 million. The company attributed the increase to higher service revenue resulting from 6 percent growth in its ending subscriber base, offset partially by a decrease in revenue generated from equipment sales.
The continued shift to a larger percentage of revenue from service revenue, which has a higher margin, and away from equipment sales revenue, is contributing to increasing Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), according to Globastar. The company’s Adjusted EBITDA increased 58 percent to $4.9 million from $3.1 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. | aerospace |

08 December 2021, 06:43 pm | Updated: 07 December 2023, 12:39 pm
A military chopper carrying Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat and 13 others crashed shortly after take-off on Wednesday in Tamil Nadu, the Indian Air Force said.
A total of 13 people have died and one male survivor is being treated for severe burns. The condition of General Bipin Rawat is not known.
General Rawat’s wife, his Defence Assistant, security commandos and Air Force personnel were among the 14 people on board.
“An IAF Mi-17 V5 helicopter, with CDS Gen Bipin Rawat on board, met with an accident today near Coonoor, Tamil Nadu. An Inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the cause of the accident,” tweeted the Air Force.
General Rawat had taken a flight from Delhi to Sulur in Coimbatore earlier today. The crash took place shortly after the Russian-made Mi-17 V5 chopper took off from the Air Force base in Sulur for Wellington in the Nilgiri Hills.
The helicopter was already making its descent and would have landed in 10 more minutes. It came down around 10 km from the nearest road, forcing emergency workers to trek to the accident site, said news agency AFP.
The crash was first reported around 12.20pm.
Visuals showed wreckage scattered on a hillside and rescuers struggling through thick smoke and fire. Charred bodies were pulled out by locals and cops from under mangled metal and fallen trees.

It is developed according to the aerodynamic design “flying wing” with the use of stealth technologies. The PLAAF expects to start operating it in 2025, replacing the obsolete N-6 bombers.
|The Author is Former Director General of Information Systems and A Special Forces Veteran, Indian Army|
China’s present stealth bomber ‘Xian H-6’ is a license-built version of the Soviet Tupolev Tu-16 twin-engine jet bombers, built for China's People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). Delivery of the Tu-16 to China began in 1958, and a license production agreement with the Soviets was signed in the late 1950s. Xi’an Aircraft Industrial Corporation (XAC) manufactured aircraft at Xi'an as the ‘H-6’ with the first flying in 1959. By November 2020, the PLAAF had 231 x H-6 of various configurations. The latest variant of the H-6 is the H-6N, capable of aerial refueling and armed with air-launched cruise missiles, which according to the US Department of Defence (DoD) gives the PLAAF long-range standoff offensive air capability with precision-guided munitions (PGMs).

It is developed according to the aerodynamic design "flying wing" with the use of stealth technologies. The PLAAF expects to start operating it in 2025, replacing the obsolete N-6 bombers (copy of the Soviet Tu-16).

Photographs of China’s new under development stealth bomber ‘Yuan Hong’ have recently emerged on the web. Yuan Hong will likely become a key project for China’s military-industrial complex for the period of the 14th five-year plan (2021-2025). Judging by the image, Yuan Hong will be built according to the "flying wing" aerodynamic scheme to increase the radar stealth of the structure. It is assumed to be a bomber of heavy type and in its arsenal will likely include newly developed long-range hypersonic air-to-surface missiles, including those with nuclear warheads. Outwardly, the Yuan Hong is very similar to the X-47B, an American multipurpose attack UAV from Northrop Grumman.
China is actively pushing for exporting its indigenously developed FC-31 stealth fighter jet on the international market while facing competition from rivals like the American F-35 and the Russian Su-75. A dedicated office has been established, putting together resources from the manufacturing company Shenyang Aircraft Company (SAC) under the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China, the research institute and the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation to promote exports of the FC-31 under a development tactic of "self-oriented active promoting" aimed to cultivate targeted users.
According to SAC, the FC-31 (also known as J-31) is a single seat, twin-engine, medium-sized multi-role fighter jet with outstanding stealth capabilities, strong situational awareness, high maneuverability, advanced integrated logistics and good cost-effectiveness. China could even have deeper cooperation with foreign customers by building assembly lines in the customer's country.
China has made good use of air shows to showcase the FC-31's technical advantages. The FC-31, China's second stealth fighter jet after the J-20, was recently put on display at the Air Show China in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong Province, from late September to early October 2021, together with the powerful PL-15E beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile. Reports suggest that the FC-31 will also become China's next-generation aircraft carrier-based fighter jet.
Media reports have quoted Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based military expert, saying that the international market of stealth fighter jets is far from saturated. Wei said, “The US F-35 stealth fighter jet mainly targets US allies and partners, and while many countries want to procure it, they lack enough budget or face a wide range of export restrictions set by the US. Russia has revealed its new Su-75 stealth fighter, but it has yet to make its maiden flight. China's FC-31 is technically mature, can be fully domestically produced and enjoys advantages including high technology, acceptable pricing, the lack of political restrictions and complete service, as China can also provide a full set of airborne equipment and weapons.”
China is actively pushing for exporting its indigenously developed FC-31 stealth fighter jet on the international market while facing competition from rivals like the American F-35 and the Russian Su-75
In April 2009, the Wall Street Journal had reported that Chinese computer spies had penetrated the database of the America’s Joint Strike Fighter programme acquiring terabytes of secret information, and the stolen knowledge has been incorporated in China’s FC-31 fighter programme. This is hardly surprising considering that China has been acquiring foreign technologies using all possible means and is expert in reverse engineering.
The FC-31 can carry 8,000 kg of payload, with four munitions totaling 2,000 kg internally, and 6,000 kg carried on six external hard-points; primary armaments include the PL-10 short-range missile and PL-12 medium-range air-to-air missile. 4 x PL-21 missiles can also be fitted inside the FC-31's internal weapons bay. It has a combat radius of 1,200 km and a maximum take-off weight of 25,000 kg. The FC-31 is speculated to use stealth coatings instead of "baked in" fiber-mat stealth. It would be stealthy against L-band and Ku-band radars, and would be low-observable against a number of multi-spectrum sensors. The engine nozzles are apparently redesigned to reduce radar and infrared signatures.
According to US military and industry officials, the capability of the FC-31 against the newest fighters, like the American F-22 and F-35, would depend on factors such as numbers of platforms, quality of pilots, and capabilities of radars and other sensors. On July 7, 2017, The Pakistan Air Force had announced its Project ‘Azm’ to develop fifth-generation fighter (PAC PF-X) and Stealth MALE UAVs. These obviously will be in collaboration with China though Pakistan is also seeking joint development of UAVs and UCAVs in collaboration with Turkey.
India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme to develop fifth generation fighter aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Navy (IN) will also include sixth generation niche technologies
India’s Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA) programme to develop fifth generation fighter aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Navy (IN) will also include sixth generation niche technologies. It is expected to be produced by a public-private joint venture between the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and an Indian private company. Approval of the Defence Acquisition Committee (DAC) headed by the Defence Minister, for the AMCA project is likely to be accorded in 2022. The development cost is estimated to be around 15,000 crore.
The AMCA will be a single-seat, twin-engine, stealth all-weather swing-role fighter aircraft. AMCA Mark 1 will come equipped with fifth generation technologies and Mark 2 will have the incremental sixth generation technology upgrades. The AMCA is intended to perform a multitude of missions including air superiority, ground strike, suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) and electronic warfare (EW). The AMCA design is optimised for low radar cross section and super-cruise capability. The first flight is expected to be by 2025-26 and serial production may begin by 2028-2030. | aerospace |

ADELAIDE, Australia – Cobham has secured the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) contract to provide an airborne search and rescue capability in Australia for 12 years from 2016, with aircraft modification and mobilisation activity to commence later this year.
AMSA utilises aircraft based in strategic locations across Australia to perform search and rescue tasks such as searching for missing people, locating activated distress beacons, providing communications support at an incident and dropping survival equipment to people in distress.
The contract, secured through open industry competition, has a value including estimated flying charges of AUD $640 million over 12 years. If three additional optional years are exercised by AMSA, the full value would exceed AUD $700 million.
Cobham will acquire, modify, commission and then operate and maintain four Bombardier Challenger CL-604 special mission jet aircraft to provide a search and rescue capability over land and at sea.
These aircraft will be specially modified to Australian requirements and fitted with new generation sensors, high-vision windows and air operable doors for aerial delivery of life saving equipment. Much of the modification work will be undertaken at Cobham’s facilities in Adelaide, South Australia.
The aircraft will be based in Cairns, Melbourne and Perth.
Peter Nottage, Sector President of Cobham Aviation Services said: “In a situation where time can be the difference between life and death, Cobham will provide world-leading safety and rescue capability to AMSA and Australia. Building on Cobham’s 30 years of experience in special mission operations around the world, including in Australia, the turnkey solution we will provide to AMSA represents an evolutionary improvement in range capability and speed to incident sites with longer loiter and search time over the search zone. “In addition, the Mission Management and Communications System offers technological advantages, including latest generation electronic sensor technology and broadband satellite communications with real time sharing of streamed video, audio and imagery between the aircraft and AMSA’s Rescue Coordination Centre, based in Canberra, Australia.”
Cobham will employ five-member air crews, including a Captain, First Officer, Visual Search Officer, Electronic Search Observer and Aircraft Mission Coordinator who will be on permanent standby to enable search and rescue tasking at any time of day or night.

Two A350s experienced uncommanded in-flight shutdown of one of the engines after spillage on the centre pedestal that housed “start and control” engine functions. Happening within three months, the resulting shutdown came after some 15 minutes for Delta Airlines (US/Jan, 2020) and an hour for Asiana (SKorea / Nov, 2019). Both cases were investigated by Airbus, following which European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approved the temporary revision in the manual making cockpit a “liquid prohibited zone”. The drastic step was necessary as the spill could have also affected the other running engine.
Not being able to find proofs of something that had definitely happened is quite frustrating. I had encountered the same as mentioned in my previous piece. This time I was looking for details of a helicopter accident on TIA runway that had resulted in several hours of airport closure.
Most find it baffling as how aircrafts fly long distances, safely and amidst crisscrossing traffic—seemingly under no control. If that was so, it would have resulted in frequent collisions or other types of midair calamities typically reflecting Kathmandu traffic scene where lack of patience rules supreme. It is not that drivers do not know the rules.

limitation of debris released during normal operations; minimization of the potential for on-orbit break-ups during and after space operations; post-mission disposal recommendations for vehicles in low Earth orbit (LEO; below 2000 km altitude), geosynchronous orbit (GEO), and other orbital regimes; prevention of on-orbit collisions. At the 38th meeting of the UN COPUOS Scientific and Technical Subcommittee (STSC) in Vienna, Austria, during February 2001, a new multi-year work plan on space debris was adopted. A key question of the work plan was the acceptance of the IADC Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines by the February 2003 meeting of the STSC. This work was completed in February 2006. The document, contains seven guidelines: Guideline 1: Limit debris released during normal operationsGuideline 2: Minimize the potential for break-ups during operational phasesGuideline 3: Limit the probability of accidental collision in orbitGuideline 4: Avoid intentional destruction and other harmful activitiesGuideline 5: Minimize potential for post-mission break-ups resulting from stored energyGuideline 6: Limit the long-term presence of spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages in the low Earth orbit region after the end of their missionGuideline 7: Limit the long-term interference of spacecraft and launch vehicle orbital stages with geosynchronous region after the end of their missionIn addition to these guidelines, three other international efforts have recently produced valuable contributions to space debris mitigation. The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) produces a new position paper on space debris mitigation: Implementing Zero Debris Creation Zones. The report contains separate sections regarding to space debris mitigation for spacecraft and launch vehicles. A few national space agencies include in their guidelines the risks associated to re-entry of objects in the atmosphere. Overall, the full control the near-Earth space debris environment are very difficult.
Other countries: China
In the last years also countries developing have had a growth in space field. The China will be more active. In particularly: launched 15 time in 2010, launched 20 time in 2011, more than 20 spacecraft will be launched into space every year and their space activities will increase of 50% every year in the future. Since 1990s China has begun to develop the space debris mitigation guidelines. Mitigation in spacecraft including: Spacecraft passivationSpacecraft passive de-orbitDesign and practice of lifetime 25 years limit of LEO space systemActive removing of spacecraft and orbital stages that have reached the end of their mission operations in protected regionsAccurate measure and depletion technique of the residual propellantsSafety assessment for re-entry of space debrisThe steps most important in development of mitigation debris guidelines are: 1993: installation of Chinese national space debris office and Chinese space debris advisory group of expert, coordination of space debris research activities in China1999: formation of Chinese national expert committee of space debris research2000: started special budget for Chinese space debris researchSince 1999: always actively taking part in the IADC activities; presented status report on space debris activities of China at IADC annual meeting. Already implementing practical steps on space debris mitigation on a voluntary basis within its own national mechanisms2000: first Chinese conference on space debris was held. The conference was opened and was held every two year2006: china national industry standard ” requirements on space debris mitigation” promulgated and came into forceThe result of these efforts had led to write of: 2006: China national industry standards ” orbital debris mitigation requirements (QJ3221-2005)” came into force. All china flight projects are required to provide debris assessments and end-of mission planning as a normal part of the project development2010: the integrated system of space debris mitigation design of China.

Documentation structure for debris mitigation
Figure 5. : Structure for debris mitigation guidelinesThe highest level rules are the IADC guidelines. They provides guidelines to: avoid operational debris, prevent explosions and protect the two sensitive regions with the GEO re-orbiting rule and the 25 year rule for LEO. These guidelines have been presented to UNCOPUOS and are under review. Once this phase is exceeded, the corresponding document will have to be internationally distributed, explained and justified.
Inter-agency debris coordination committee (IADC)
The Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) is an international governmental forum for the worldwide coordination of activities related to the issues of man-made and natural debris in space that was formed in 1993. The primary purposes of the IADC are to exchange information on space debris research activities between member space agencies, to promote opportunities for cooperation in space debris research, to review the progress of ongoing cooperative activities, and to identify debris mitigation options. The IADC member agencies include the following: Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI, Italia)Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES, Francia)Agenzia Nazionale Cinese per lo Spazio (CNSA)Canadian Space Agency (CSA, Canada)Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR, Germania)European Space Agency (ESA)Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO, India)Agenzia Spaziale Giapponese (JAXA, Giappone)National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, Stati Uniti)Agenzia Spaziale Ucraina (NSAU)Agenzia Russa per l’aviazione e lo spazio (ROSCOSMOS)Agenzia Spaziale del Regno Unito (UKSA, Regno Unito)
The international organization for standardization (ISO)
The international organization for standardization known as ISO, is an international standard setting body composed of representatives from various national standard organizations. Founded on 23 February 1947, the organization promulgates industrial and commercial standards. It has its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. ISO has 162 national members, out of the 205 total countries in the world. ISO has three membership categories: Member bodies are national bodies considered the most representative standards in each country. These are the only members of ISO that have voting rights. Correspondent members are countries that do not have their own standards organization. These members are informed about the ISO work, but do not participate in standards promulgation. Subscriber members are countries with small economies. They pay reduced membership fees, but can follow the development of standards. Figure 5. : Members of ISO591. pngLegend: Green: membersRed: correspondent membersYellow: subscriber membersBlack: other placesThe International Standards Organization Technical Committee ” aircraft and space vehicles” sub-committee ” space system and operations” (known as ISO TC20/SC14) is engaged in the development of standards to address implementation of measures associated with debris mitigation. ISO TC20/SC14 discussions on this topic were initiated in 2001. The tasks of the working group include: Establishing and maintaining contacts with a range of agencies involved in space debris mitigation (IADC, UN COPUOS, IAA)Developing and maintaining links within TC20/SC14 with the working group conveners who are responsible for the development of the standards and with the TC20/SC14 head of delegationThe first draft of the programs of work for the development of standard for orbital debris mitigation (debris standard plan) was released internally to TC20/SC14 in October 2004, and include a preliminary analysis of the IADC guidelines to identify: internationally measures that could be translated into measurable and verifiable requirements in standards; topics noted in the IADC guidelines that might need standards for their implementationIn Figure (5. 3) it’s possible to see the International Standards Organization Technical Committee ” aircraft and space vehicles” sub-committee ” space system and operations” organization. The technical commission that work on the space debris mitigation is called Orbital Debris Co-ordination Working Group (ODCWG). organigramma_2. JPGFigure 5. : Structure of ISO TC20/SC14
European co-operation for space standardization (ECSS)
The purpose of ECSS is develops a single set of consistent space standards accepted by the European space community. The ECSS objective are: increase the effectiveness of all space programmers in Europe through the application of a single, integrated set of standards and requirements; facilitate clear communication between all parties involved; improve the quality and safety of space projects and products; reduce risk and guarantee the interface compatibility.; ensure that space system do not cause, during their complete life cycle, a hazard to human life, the environment, public and private property; allow industry to be ready to meet these requirements; improve the competiveness of the European space industry; facilitate standardization. ECSS set of documents divided into 3 types: Standards: normative document written specifically for implementing space activities. Handbook: non normative documents that provide a background information, orientation, technical data, guidelines, recommendations, in order to implement space activities. Technical memorandum: non normative document that provide to useful information to the space community on a specific subject. Figure 5. : Structure of ECSS standardsECSS documents (standard, handbook and technical Memorandum) are organized in four branches: space engineering, space project management, space product assurance, space sustainability. The branches are themselves organized in several disciplines, as shown in Figure (5. 4). organigramma. JPG
Committee of the peaceful uses of outer space (COPUOS)
The Committee On the Peaceful Uses of the Outer Space is committed to promoting the practices for the reduction of space debris. COPUOS works with IADC promotes the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines.
international academy of astronautics (IAA)
The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) was founded in Stockholm on august 16, 1960. It is a no-governmental organization. The purposes of the IAA are: to encourage the development of astronautics for peaceful purposes; to recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in a branch of science or technology related to astronautics; to provide a program through which the membership can contribute to international endeavors and cooperation in the advancement of aerospace science. The members are all over the world, approximately 65 countries.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
The Federal Communication Commission is an independent agency of the United State government. The FCC mission is to ” make available so far as possible, to all the people of the unites states, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, rapid, efficient, nation-wide, and world-wide wire radio communication services with adequate facilities at reasonable charges”. The FCC has written a set of debris mitigation rules on June 24, 2004. The FCC Rule 04-130 identify what mitigation activities are required, or recommended. The FCC actions were of three types: Operational requirementsDisclosure requirementsLicensing policyAdoption of these rules will help to conserve the United States access to space. Adoption of these rules will help to minimize the creation of orbital debris. The US government standard practices try to control the creation of orbital debris by: control of debris during normal operations; minimizing debris generated by accidental explosions; selection of a safe flight profile and operational configuration; post mission disposal of space structures.
International Intercommunication Union (ITU)
The International Intercommunication Union is the specialized agency of the United Nation which is responsible for information and communication technologies. ITU coordinates the global use of the radio spectrum, encourage international cooperation in choosing satellite orbits, works to improve telecommunication infrastructure and establishes worldwide standards. ITU is based in Geneva, Switzerland, is a member of the United Nations development group and its membership includes 193 member states.
Recommendation ITU-R S. 1003-1
From ITU radio communication assembly, the recommendation ITU-R S. 1003-1 considers: that the GSO is a unique resource that offers significant benefits to operators from the standpoint of station-keeping requirements, ground visibility and coverage, the absence of the need for tracking facilities in small earth station antennas and a relatively benign orbital environment; that satellites have little survivability in case of a collision in orbit; that telecommunications functions of a satellite would be lost or at least degraded by a collision in orbit; that satellite breakup due to a collision or explosion would create a cloud of orbital debris that would dissipate around the orbit, increasing the collision probability within that orbit region; that a satellite drifting in GSO after the end of its life may block RF links of active satellites, The ITU recommends: that as little debris as possible should be released into the GSO region during the placement of a satellite in orbit; that every reasonable effort should be made to shorten the lifetime of debris in elliptical transfer orbits with the apogees at or near GSO altitude; that before complete exhaustion of its propellant, a geostationary satellite at the end of its life should be removed from the GSO region such that under the influence of perturbing forces on its trajectory, it would subsequently remain in an orbit with a perigee no less than 200 km above the geostationary altitude ; that the transfer to the graveyard orbit removal should be carried out with particular caution in order to avoid RF interference with active satellites.

The Artemis 1 stack will make the roughly 4-mile (6.4 kilometers) journey from Kennedy Area Heart’s Automobile Meeting Constructing to Launch Advanced 39B on Aug. 18, NASA confirmed on Friday (Aug. 5). The rollout will preserve Artemis 1 on monitor to launch on a weeks-long uncrewed journey across the moon no sooner than Aug. 29.
Artemis 1 will put the Space Launch System (SLS) megarocket and Orion spacecraft by way of their paces to make sure reliability forward of astronauts taking an analogous trip just a few years from now — some making all of it the way in which to the lunar floor, if NASA’s plans come to fruition.
The approaching launch follows intense system certifications and greater than a decade of planning.
“Our groups have been working extraordinarily laborious for a really, very very long time to get thus far,” Rick LaBrode, lead Artemis 1 flight director at NASA’s Johnson Area Heart (JSC) in Houston, stated in a livestreamed briefing Friday. The mission, he added, “could be very particular. We’re extraordinarily excited.”
Artemis 1 will mark the first-ever launch for the SLS and simply the second for Orion, which went to Earth orbit again in 2014. If all goes in keeping with plan on Aug. 29, the SLS will roar by way of the ambiance to realize orbit in simply 8.5 minutes. The massive rocket’s higher stage will then deploy Orion right into a translunar injection orbit about 80 to 90 minutes after liftoff.
These milestones will kick off an action-packed 42 days in house for Orion, assuming liftoff happens on Aug. 29. (The mission timing modifications barely relying on the launch date.)
“There’s actually no time to catch our breath. We actually hit the bottom working,” stated Judd Frieling, Artemis 1 ascent and entry flight director at JSC.
As Orion soars towards the moon, the SLS higher stage shall be tasked with deploying cubesats for lunar and other science whereas pushing itself into an orbit circling the solar.
Orion will goal a lunar retrograde orbit. It’ll keep there for a number of weeks, then get a gravity help from the moon for the journey again to Earth.
The spacecraft has three major targets on Artemis 1, every of them designed to showcase endurance. Mission group members need Orion to indicate it may well come again by way of Earth’s ambiance safely, can work persistently in a “flight surroundings” from launch to splashdown, and might preserve astronauts secure inside in the course of the retrieval after coming again residence.
Outreach actions, like taking selfies of its photo voltaic panels, will try to preserve the general public engaged for the lengthy journey (as Orion’s information switch charges enable from deep house).
For instance: “Once we get to the purpose the place we’re really the furthest away that any human-rated spacecraft ever been, additional than any of the Apollo autos went, we wish to seize that in a public affairs occasion,” LaBrode stated.
Orion’s final main milestone of the mission shall be a high-speed reentry by way of Earth’s ambiance, aiming for a splashdown website off the coast of San Diego. It’ll descend into the Pacific Ocean beneath parachutes and, simply earlier than arriving, do a “touchdown orientation” maneuver to slip into the ocean waves on the proper angle.
There, car energy will stay on for about two hours to check how effectively Orion does in sustaining cooling for astronauts. A U.S. Navy ship will then recuperate Orion, fishing the spacecraft out of the water, NASA officers stated.
After the mission will come months of study to make sure SLS and Orion are certainly prepared to hold people. The present schedule requires Artemis 2 to loft a moon-orbiting crew in 2024 and for Artemis 3, the primary human moon-landing mission since Apollo 17 in 1972, to the touch down on the floor no sooner than 2025. | aerospace |

And it was in Business Class! It’s a quick 3.5hr flight, and it was full!
The cabin layout, to my surprise, was 2-3-2. That’s kinda weird, isn’t it? For business, to be in a middle seat? So I chose an aisle seat of the 2 grouping, and it was a bulkhead. (Last seat available.)
The seat was very comfortable and the privacy between the seats was very good. When sitting back, I couldn’t see my neighbor.
The TV/Video screens were huge. And, the Air Show on the Emirates planes has video at the nose of the plane! So, I could watch us take off, view the sea below us and be impressed by the landing.
Overall, a very enjoyable flight. Emirates has class. And it was this introduction to Emirates that made me a fan! | aerospace |

While Apollo was the watchword for the first lunar missions launched by NASA, the second iteration of government-backed crewed Moon journeys will carry a different name: Artemis.
It’s a fitting name; in Greek mythology, Artemis was the twin sister of Apollo. While Apollo was a solar deity, Artemis was always associated with the Moon.
The Apollo LM is so far the only vehicle to have ever taken humans onto the moon and was developed and built by Grumman Aerospace, now part of Northrop Grumman. The company won the contract after 11 companies were invited to bid, with the process beginning in 1962. Once again, the builder of the Artemis LM will be decided by a competitive bidding process. This began in May of this year, making the deadline somewhat quicker than in Apollo’s case. Again, 11 companies have been invited to conduct studies and select prototypes for a prospective lander.
Artemis-1 is scheduled for July 2020: it will be the first flight of Orion atop the new space launch system (SLS) rocket, based on systems originally developed for the Space Shuttle. It will be a 10-day mission that will catapult an empty Orion capsule around the moon, returning directly to earth. Artemis-2, scheduled for 2022, will be another SLS launch, this time sending a crew on a lunar orbital trip (this would be the equivalent of 1968’s Apollo 8 mission, which was the third flight of the Saturn V launcher).
Scheduled to launch in 2024, Artemis-3 will send a crew in an Orion module to rendezvous with the Deep Space Gateway (DSG) space station where its crew will transfer into the lunar modules. These will be launched to lunar orbit, from where the descent and return modules will detach to take the crew to the Moon’s surface. The landing site is currently planned to be near the lunar south pole, a location of intense interest because it is believed to harbour water ice deposits in sections of craters that are in permanent shade, where temperatures drop are continuously below -100°C.
As with Apollo, the descent module will remain on the moon, while the return module will detach to dock with the transfer module in orbit. The return and transfer modules will fly back to the DSG. The crew will then disembark from their lunar shuttle back into Orion, which will return them to Earth. This differs somewhat from the Apollo approach, which used the conical command module and its attached cylindrical service module as the vehicle to go all the way from Earth into lunar orbit. For Artemis, the command and service modules for crewed missions will not go to the Moon, and there will be no need for the Artemis-3 SLS to also carry a LM (lunar module), as was the case with Apollo. This will save on its launch weight.

Hawksland Associates, led by Gary Windas has successfully managed the introduction of a new material technology for leading edge applications with its client – a major Aircraft OEM. Experiencing high weight problems with its existing VTP and HTP aerostructure leading edge design configuration, the client was looking for a lower weight alternative.
Hawksland’s existing client, a leading 1st-tier aerostructures company specialised in a new fibre metal laminate material technology called ‘Glare’ which for certain applications is a lower weight alternative to monolithic alloys and composites while also providing high fatigue and damage tolerance properties. With this technology, Hawksland’s 1st-tier client was able to offer a solution to the Aircraft OEM’s weight issues.
With its existing experience in the development of ‘Glare’, Hawksland were ideally placed to support both its existing client ‘propose’ the ‘Glare’ solution and also manage the introduction of the new material for the new application. Appointed by the Aircraft OEM, Hawksland Associates worked closely with the OEM and 1st-tier clients teams and Programme Managed the introduction of ‘Glare’ for the leading edge VTP and HTP applications on the OEM clients new aircraft programme. Responsibities included: design engineering; first-article development; retrofit emodiment in the existing programme, supply chain management and establishment of the bird-strike test certification requirements.
Hawksland Associates management skill and expertise was highly appreciated during several attachments. I can recommend their work and in particular their Managing Director – Gary Windas as a person with vast sector knowledge, high integrity and spirit.Thomas MaissDirector of ProcurementRolls-Royce Deutschland

I was flying some students around on short flights in a J3 Cub. South Florida, so not cold at all. On one flight, I got the impression the throttle was creeping. I had to keep nudging it forward to get the same rpm. When I finally had full throttle and still had lowered rpm and performance, carb ice dawned on me and I applied carb heat. The engine stumbled, then died momentarily before coming back. Whew! On landing, there was actually frost on the outside of the carb and it was quite cold to the touch.
My most memorable carb ice incident was also in a J3. The day was April 1st, 2006. I had just purchased the airplane in southwestern Michigan. The temps that day were right around the freezing level with snow showers. It was my first flight in a J3, and I was all bundled up for the cold, and strapped snuggly in the back seat with a lap belt and shoulder harnesses. Like you I was flying along and the RPM would drop off a little bit. Being new to the airplane I thought the throttle was working its way back, so I kept pushing it forward a little at a time. Flying along all fat dumb and happy the engine coughed, and I reached for carb heat. The only problem was I couldn't reach the carb heat. I finally hooked the knob with the sole of my shoe and pulled on carb heat. The RPM dropped of a little more and the engine ran rough for a few seconds and then smoothed out. When I turned the carb heat off the engine RPM increased by about 200. | aerospace |

(USA Today)
ATLANTA -- The track record of engines like the one that failed on Sunday's Delta flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Minneapolis is actually better than most car engines.
Few and far between as failures might be, they aren't any less frightening to passengers.
Nearly 120 passengers and six crew members were on board Delta Flight 1846 Sunday morning when it experienced engine failure shortly after taking off.
"Probably about a minute after takeoff, we heard this loud popping," one passenegr said. "I thought it was the landing gear at first. The plane started shaking a little bit. Then we stopped climbing so I knew something was wrong."
"We were probably a couple thousand feet up and all of a sudden there was a terrible shuddering," another passenger said. "And everybody just, you know, got rigid. And nobody said anything -- nobody, the crew, the captain didn't come on. So it was very frightening."
An initial inspection by the Federal Aviation Adminstration revealed that engine turbine blades had broken off and fallen to the ground mid-flight. They were later recovered by investigators near the airport.
The pilots managed to get the Boeing 737 back to the runway without incident or injuries.
The same type of engine exploded on November 17, 2007 while a Southwest Airlines 737 was climbing to its cruising altitude.
That plane also returned safety, landing at Love Field in Dallas without any injuries reported.
Over the years, 20,000 GE engines have powered more than 5,000 Boeing 737s and various Airbus aircraft. Altogether, they have flown over 470 million hours. | aerospace |

AbstractIntroduction. Medical requirements for the future Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM), advanced Extravehicular Activity (EVA) suits and Lunar habitat are currently being developed. Crews returning to the lunar surface will construct the lunar habitat and conduct scientific research. Inherent in aggressive surface activities is the potential risk of injury to crewmembers. Physiological responses to and the operational environment of short forays during the Apollo lunar missions were studied and documented. Little is known about the operational environment in which crews will live and work and the hardware that will be used for long-duration lunar surface operations. Additional information is needed regarding productivity and the events that affect crew function, such as a compressed timeline. The Space Medicine Division at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) requested a study in December 2005 to identify Apollo mission issues relevant to medical operations that had impact to crew health and/or performance. The operationally oriented goals of this project were to develop or modify medical requirements for new exploration vehicles and habitats, create a centralized database for future access, and share relevant Apollo information with the multiple entities at NASA and abroad participating in the exploration effort.
Methods. A review of medical operations during Apollo missions 7 through 17 was conducted. Eleven categories of hardware, systems, or crew factors were identified during preliminary data review generating 581 data records, which were captured in an Access database. The preliminary review resulted in 285 questions which were posed to surviving Apollo crewmembers using mail, face-to-face meetings, phone communications, or online interactions. Crewmember responses to these questions formed the basis for recommendations to items in each of the categories.
Results. Fourteen of 22 surviving Apollo astronauts (64%) participated in the project.
Approximately 236 pages of responses to the questions were generated based on the Apollo experiences, with 107 recommendations garnered for future vehicles, habitats, EVA suits, and lunar surface operations.
Discussion. The Apollo medical operations recommendations are being incorporated into the exploration mission architecture at various levels: 21 recommendations either validated, revised or created new requirements, 4 are currently in practice, 34 are being evaluated, and 54 are being considered. A centralized database has been developed, and the recommendations have been presented to the different organizations involved with building the new vehicles, habitats, suits, or systems that may impact crew health and performance.
Conclusions. The Apollo crewmembers’ input has proved to be an invaluable resource to a multitude of departments beyond space medicine. We will continue soliciting input from this group as we evolve and refine requirements for future exploration missions.
1.0 INTRODUCTION The Apollo program, which began in January of 1966, was comprised of 18 missions: 12 crewed missions (including the Apollo 204 mission with Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee) and six crewless missions which tested the capabilities of the Saturn rocket components6. The Apollo 7 mission heralded the first successful crewed mission, and in July of 1969, Apollo 11 fulfilled John F. Kennedy’s mandate to send a man to the moon and return him safely home7. Twenty-six men flew Apollo missions, including four repeat flyers. Of the manned missions, six flights conducted between July 1969 and December 1972 successfully landed 12 humans on the lunar surface and returned them to the Earth.
In January 2004, President George W. Bush committed the United States to the further exploration of space8. This new vision for space exploration has the benefit of the cumulative knowledge and experience gained from the Apollo program. The exploration effort will require the development of new vehicles to transport crews from Earth to the lunar surface and for transportation while on the moon. In addition, crew will need (EVA) suits and extended duration habitation elements for the lunar surface operations10.
The Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) and Lunar Surface Access Module (LSAM) though slightly larger, will bear many similarities to the Apollo Command Module (CM) and Lunar Module (LM). The EVA suits may serve the dual function of a launch and entry suit as well as the lunar surface suit. Lunar habitation is a new frontier, enabling humans to live on the moon for extended periods in order to conduct science experiments and use the lunar environment for in-situ resource utilization.
During previous studies, Apollo astronauts provided input into the engineering and mechanical aspects of EVA suit system designs 2. However, no study has specifically addressed the impact of the Apollo vehicles, hardware, and systems on crew health or performance throughout all mission phases, including lunar surface operations and the influence of that impact on the new exploration vehicles and mission architectures. | aerospace |

- The mission is to hit an asteroid and test whether it would be possible to throw a furious space rock off course if one were to threaten Earth.
- The DART spacecraft, short for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Tuesday.
- If all goes well, it will hit Dimorphos, an asteroid 525 feet in diameter, head-on at 15,000 miles per hour in September 2022.
NASA launched a spacecraft on Tuesday evening to smash an asteroid and test whether it would be possible to throw a furious space rock off course if one threatened Earth.
The DART spacecraft, short for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, took off from Vandenberg Space Force Base on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in a $ 330 million project with echoes from the Bruce Willis film “Armageddon”.
If all goes well, it will hit Dimorphos, an asteroid 160 meters in diameter and a speed of 15,139 km / h, head-on in September 2022.
“That won’t destroy the asteroid. There will only be a small nudge, ”said Nancy Chabot, mission officer of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, who leads the project.
Dimorphos orbits a much larger asteroid called Didymos. The pair pose no threat to Earth, but they do offer scientists a way to measure the effectiveness of the collision.
Dimorphos completes an orbit of Didymos every 11 hours and 55 minutes. The goal of DART is a crash that slows Dimorphos down and causes it to fall closer to the larger asteroid, shortening its orbit by 10 minutes.
The change in orbit time is measured by telescopes on Earth. The minimum change for the mission to be considered successful is 73 seconds.
DART technology could prove useful in changing the course of an asteroid years or decades before it hits Earth with the potential for disaster.
A small nudge “would add up to a large change in its future position and the asteroid and Earth would not be on a collision course,” said Chabot.
NASA says it is testing how they would defend the planet when it came to life or death. Kim Baldonado reports November 23, 2021.
Scientists are constantly looking for asteroids and planning their courses to see if they could hit the planet.
“While there is currently no known asteroid that is on an impact course with Earth, we do know that there is a large population of near-Earth asteroids out there,” said Lindley Johnson, Planetary Defense Officer at NASA. “The key to planetary defense is to find them in good time before they pose a threat to impact.”
It will take DART 10 months to reach the pair of asteroids. The collision will take place approximately 11 million kilometers from Earth.
Look out for September 24, 2187: when the asteroid Bennu collides with Earth, then it will happen. Meanwhile, a team of scientists sent a lander to the asteroid to collect samples. Determining what the asteroid is made of can help track its trajectory and also provide insight into the beginnings of life on Earth.
Ten days in advance, DART will release a tiny observation probe supplied by the Italian space agency that will follow suit.
DART streams the video until it is destroyed on impact. Three minutes later, the vehicle following behind takes pictures of the point of impact and the ejected material. | aerospace |

What they do: They launch rockets into space.
What’s new: Two rare tours are now being offered, including the KSC Up-Close, a launch pad tour that includes drive-by views of Launch Pad 39-B, the Vehicle Assembly Building, mobile launch platforms and stops at the Apollo/Saturn V Center. On the Launch Control Center Tour you see the main launch countdown clock and many large video monitors on the walls. But the Vehicle Assembly Tour features an inside view of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), the NASA Causeway, A/B Camera Stop and the amazing Apollo/Saturn V Center. All guided tours are $25 per adult and $19 per child (ages 3-11) plus tax, in addition to admission.
What’s in the photo: Oh, that’s Iden, Aren and Erysse examining a space shuttle tile in the VAB. Behind them is Endeavor, being prepped for her final flight to Los Angeles.
Let’s talk: Many guides at Kennedy Space Center have enjoyed their jobs so much they’ve been doing it for years. Our guide, Bruce, had met members of the original crew of Apollo 13 as well as other astronauts from more recent missions. We learned that Ron Howard spent time with the Apollo crew and they felt he’d captured both the mindset and emotions of that incredibly tense mission and that on the International Space Station “candy-coated chocolates” – M&Ms – are a favorite for food and fun.
Don’t miss: The Apollo/Saturn V Center, which is even more impressive to see after the Vehicle Assembly Building Tour, where these rockets were put together.
What they won’t tell you: The Vehicle Assembly Building was once an armored facility. You can see evidence of this in the concrete structure above the air conditioning where there once were sniper holes for armed guards protecting the building throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
Take your time: Our first visit in 1995, just Chris and I, we didn’t realize that this is more than just an hour tour. Set aside at least 3 hours, up to six if you are nerdy space geeks like us.
Often forgotten: Admission to the Astronaut Hall of Fame is included in the price of your ticket. If you have the time you should visit. It has the best interactive area for children.

“When The Onion starts making fun of your company’s problems, you’re in trouble. It means that those problems are well-known enough to be funny to a mass audience. That’s the sign of a badly damaged reputation.”
Indeed, the hilarious online news parody did cover the most recent delay in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner whose first commercial deliveries will commence in the first quarter of 2011 instead of the fourth quarter. My only comment is that The Economist is UK-based and, as a result, is pro-Airbus – translation – anti Boeing. Financially, Boeing is humming along these days with its reputation quite in tact (my bias, perhaps).
“CHICAGO—With the airline industry continuing to suffer under the ongoing recession, the Boeing Company was forced Monday to lay off Al Freedman, the only guy left at the corporation who knows how to keep wings from falling off planes. “We used to have a whole team of engineers who knew how to make the wings stay on, but those days are long gone,” Boeing CEO James McNerney, Jr. said. “We’ll make it work, though. The wings are not necessarily the most important part of the plane, anyway.” McNerney added that at least they were able to save the job of the guy who knows how to prevent jet engines from exploding.“

Space missions to moon, to mars and now to Venus are taken up by scientists and engineers to come out with new findings. Venus has long played second fiddle to its redder, smaller, and more distant sibling: Earth. Venus, the second planet from the Sun, lies, on average, 108 million km from the Sun, about 30%closer than the Earth. Venus is often referred to as our sister planet because of similarities in size, mass, density and volume. It is believed that both planets share a common origin forming at the same time out of a condensing nebulosity around 4.5 billion years ago.
That is why that Earth and Venus do often get called planetary twins. On the other side, Venus has no surface water, a toxic, heavy atmosphere made up almost entirely of carbon dioxide with clouds of sulphuric acid and at the surface the atmospheric pressure is over 90 times that of the Earth at sea-level. Given how inhospitable we’ve learned Venus to be, we’ve spent the majority of the last century pinning some of our biggest hopes of finding signs of extra-terrestrial life on Mars. Recently, it was announced that a peculiar gas called phosphine had been spotted in the clouds above Venus. The gas is produced by microbes here on Earth, and after most known non-biological processes were ruled out, the discovery has renewed hopes that there’s life on Venus. So, answering questions about the possibility of life there will require not one but several new missions that can directly study the planet.
Venus is extremely bright, and many of the large ground-based telescopes cannot properly observe it. This brightness, caused by the intense reflection of sunlight from its thick clouds and highlighted by its close proximity to Earth, basically blinds our instruments from making detailed observations of the planet. Similarly, going to Venus is also next to impossible as temperatures at the surface of Venus reach a scorching 464°C, and pressures are 89 times higher than on Earth. Another anomaly between the two worlds is the rotation of Venus. Firstly, its axis of rotation is inclined at 177.36 degrees (compared to 23.5 degrees on Earth). This means that Venus rotates in a retrograde direction from east to west, making the Sun rise in the west and set in the east. Further to this the rotation is very slow: a sidereal day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days. This is even longer than a Venusian year which is only 224.7 Earth days.
A pressing question about the Venus involves finding out how similar the planet may have been to Earth in the planets' early histories. Venus' size is similar to Earth's and its distance to the sun would have put the planet in the "habitable zone" - the location where liquid water could exist on the surface - when the sun was younger and dimmer. Although Venus is now a raging inferno. Scientists want to know whether (as some suspect) the planet had liquid water for 3 billion years, what kind of surface geology and rock types it has, the nature of its dormant plate tectonics (which might be key to sustaining life) and how similar Venus might be to rocky exoplanets very close to their parent stars.
Till now, only the Soviet Union has successfully landed on the Venusian surface-its Venera 13 lander functioned for 127 minutes before succumbing to the elements in 1982. It’s not easy to justify spending hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars on a mission that could be over in a matter of hours and not give us what we need. So an orbiter is the most sensible start. Unlike ground-based observations, orbiters can peer into the atmosphere and would have a better time observing how phosphine or other potential bio-signatures change over time or over what regions they are most concentrated. The last major Venus orbiter was ESA’s Venus Express, which studied Venus for eight years until engineers lost contact with it, likely because it ran out of fuel. Currently, the only spacecraft exploring Venus is Japan’s Akatsuki orbiter, which arrived in 2015 to study the planet’s climate and weather. It’s doing good science, but it doesn’t have any instruments that could really probe atmospheric chemistry and look for signs of organic life.
Using cutting-edge technologies that NASA has developed and refined over many years of missions and technology programs and after technological feats making possible to touch the surfaces of moon and mars successfully, NASA has planned 2 Missions to Study World of Venus by 2030. Venus is Earth’s nearest planetary neighbour. It is astounding how little we know about Venus, but the combined results of these missions will tell us about the planet from the clouds in its sky through the volcanoes on its surface all the way down to its very core. The missions aim to understand how Venus became an inferno-like world when it has so many other characteristics similar to Earth– and may have been the first habitable world in the solar system, complete with an ocean and Earth-like climate. It is anticipated that data from these missions will be used by the broadest possible cross section of the scientific community.
Mission DAVINCI+ (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) will measure the composition of Venus’ atmosphere to understand how it formed and evolved, as well as determine whether the planet ever had an ocean. The mission consists of a descent sphere that will plunge through the planet’s thick atmosphere, making precise measurements of noble gases and other elements to understand why Venus’ atmosphere is a runaway hothouse compared the Earth’s. In addition, DAVINCI+ will return the first high resolution pictures of the unique geological features on Venus known as “tesserae,” which may be comparable to Earth’s continents, suggesting that Venus has plate tectonics. The results from DAVINCI+ could reshape our understanding of terrestrial planet formation in our solar system and beyond.
Mission VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio Science, InSAR, Topography, and Spectroscopy) will map Venus’ surface to determine the planet’s geologic history and understand why it developed so differently than Earth. Orbiting Venus with a synthetic aperture radar, VERITAS will chart surface elevations over nearly the entire planet to create 3D reconstructions of topography and confirm whether processes such as plate tectonics and volcanism are still active on Venus. VERITAS also will map infrared emissions from Venus’ surface to map its rock type, which is largely unknown, and determine whether active volcanoes are releasing water vapor into the atmosphere. | aerospace |
https://www.nanosun.co.uk/post/nanosun-selected-to-provide-mobile-hydrogen-refueller-for-hyflyer-ii-project | 2023-12-03T06:34:38 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100489.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203062445-20231203092445-00225.warc.gz | 0.920755 | 989 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__298374865 | en | Last year, the aviation industry saw the achievements of the Hyflyer I project, which demonstrated the world’s first flight of a hydrogen-electric aircraft at Cranfield in September. Now, having been awarded a further £12.3m of funding granted by the UK Government, the Hyflyer II project has launched with the aim to demonstrate a larger 19-seat hydrogen-electric aircraft. As part of the programme, HyFlyer partner EMEC has awarded a contract to NanoSUN to deliver a Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station to support hydrogen storage and dispensing for the new aircraft.
Within the HyFlyer II project, EMEC are responsible for delivering the green hydrogen refuelling solution to power the aircraft for flight tests. The solution competitively selected by EMEC includes NanoSUN’s own mobile Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station, modified to suit an airport environment. The project will see the refuelling hardware delivered to the airfield mid 2022 with commissioning and integration testing completed in Q3 2022 ready for the aircraft test flights.
The HyFlyer II project will see a consortium, led by ZeroAvia, develop the first certifiable hydrogen-electric, powertrain that can power airframes carrying up to 19 passengers. Supported by the Department for Business & Industrial Strategy (BEIS), Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) and Innovate UK, this development will build on the first HyFlyer project initiated in 2019, which tested a smaller version of ZeroAvia’s hydrogen fuel cell powertrain in a 6-seat Piper Malibu M350. HyFlyer II will culminate in another world-first, hydrogen-electric flight, this time in a 19-seat aircraft with a 350-mile demonstration flight planned for early 2023.
Transportation produces around a third of CO2 emissions for developed nations, often overshadowing coal burning power generation emissions and presenting the main cause of pollution. ZeroAvia reports that aviation currently accounts for over 12% of total transportation emissions and growing at a fast rate. Net CO2 aviation emissions, as a percentage of total human climate impact, have been estimated at 5% to 10% today with a predicted growth to between 25% and 50% by 2050.
NanoSUN Commercial Director, Lee Juby commented, “The partnership with EMEC is a fabulous opportunity for the NanoSUN Pioneer. We will be able to demonstrate the rapid deployment of hydrogen vehicle refuelling in the aviation sector. The project underlines the flexible multi-role nature of the Pioneer providing volume hydrogen storage, hydrogen transportation and hydrogen dispensing”.
Nithiananthan Vejayan, Project Manager at EMEC, said: “Green Hydrogen is increasingly considered as an alternate sustainable aviation fuel to assist in reaching Net Zero. The use of a bespoke mobile refuelling solution is essential in ensuring the safe transportation and delivery of Green Hydrogen for aviation. We are delighted to partner with NanoSUN to develop a state-of-the-art refueller for the HyFlyer II project.”
As hydrogen fuel-cell technology continues to be recognised as a leading, practical solution to reducing carbon emissions in the aviation industry, the Hyflyer II project and NanoSUN’s participation in delivering rapid, mobile refuelling will be instrumental in delivering hydrogen powered aviation solutions to the transportation market.
NanoSUN develops hydrogen distribution and mobile refuelling equipment. Based in Lancaster, UK, our vision is for hydrogen to become the major energy vector in a decarbonised world. In order to achieve this, NanoSUN's founders aimed to accelerate hydrogen use with their innovative technologies by bridging the gap between the hydrogen supply industry and the needs of hydrogen users for convenient, low cost, simple-to-use and safe fuelling systems.
Established in 2003,EMEC is the world’s leading facility for testing wave and tidal energy converters in real sea conditions. The centre offers independent, accredited grid-connected test berths for full-scale prototypes, as well as test sites in less challenging conditions for use by smaller scale technologies, supply chain companies, and equipment manufacturers. The organisation is committed to supporting the transition to net zero and has expanded activities into new sectors including green hydrogen, energy systems and floating wind.
EMEC achieved a world first in 2017, generating hydrogen using tidal power for the first time. Using Orkney’s renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, EMEC is a partner in a growing number of innovative energy systems and hydrogen demonstration projects, driving the development of the local hydrogen economy working alongside global stakeholders to decarbonise power, heat and transport.

It is shaped like an upside-down wedding cake but with fewer rings than class B airspace has.
For example, Lehigh Valley International (pictured below) has an inner ring that extends from the surface up to 4400 feet MSL. Continue reading “Class C Airspace”
I was on a progress check flight early in my commercial training and the Chief Flight Instructor decided to play a trick on me. I learned an important lesson from this flight.
We got the plane started at Chandler (KCHD) and he asked me to fly him to Gateway (KIWA). I noticed the 2 class D airspace areas are squished together with no space in between! Continue reading “Flying Between Towers”
Visual Flight Rules, commonly called VFR, are a set of rules that apply to planes flying by visual reference. This is in opposition to IFR (Instrument Flight Rules), flown without visual references.
This set of rules allows a pilot to fly in most airspace without a flight plan, clearance, or ATC communication.
VFR flying requires constant vigilance for other traffic and reliance on oneself for navigation.
When you are flying VFR you must be in VMC.
Of course, while flying VFR you may choose to use air traffic control services to:
- Get help in an emergency
- Get directions
- Get traffic advisories
- Get clearance through airspace or to land
How do I know if I’m flying VFR?
Did you file and open an instrument flight plan? If not, then you are flying VFR. You must comply with all VFR regulations including visibility and cloud clearance minimums.
Class B airspace surrounds large, busy airports.
Its shape is generally an upside-down wedding cake but it can vary quite a bit. The main idea is that there are layers that get progressively wider and have a higher floor than inner layers.
For example, in St. Louis (pictured below) the inner ring extends from the surface up to 8000 feet MSL. Continue reading “Class B Airspace”

Most pilots know that way back in 2010 the FAA retired the phrase “Position and Hold”. Instead “Line Up and Wait” came into usage, indicated to an aircraft at a towered field that they are to taxi onto the runway, line up for departure, and then wait until takeoff clearance is given.

Could it be the weather? Is it a late passenger? Worse, is there a mechanical failure?
Feeling nervous would be an understatement.
You can always spot a nervous flyer. It might be the one who perspires, jitters or grabs on to their hand-rests the entire duration of the flight. It also might be the one that asks for two bottles of red wine, even before the first food service.
In an effort to assist thousands of flyers in conquering their fears of flying, a new book based on British Airways’ course that helps nervous flyers will be launched on March 7.
The book, co-written by British Airways’ pilot Captain Steve Allright, takes information from the airline’s one-day Flying with Confidence course which has helped more than 45,000 people over the past 25 years.
The book, tackles a number of areas of flying including how an aircraft operates, turbulence and gives advice from clinical psychologists including relaxation techniques.
Here are 10 must-know tips from British Airways’ Captain Allright:
1) Remember that turbulence is uncomfortable but not dangerous. It is a perfectly normal part of flying caused by nature.
2) Learn to control your breathing. When you feel anxious, hold your breath, then take a long deep breath in, followed by a long deep breath out. Continue long deep breathing.
3) Combine the deep breath in with a muscle contraction. Clenching your buttocks is most effective, as it overrides other nervous signals going up and down your spinal chord.
4) Aircraft like to be in the air. They are designed to be in the air. Pilots and cabin crew like to be in the air also, it is a very normal, safe environment for them to be in.
5) Understand lift. The wings enable aircraft to fly, not the engines. A commercial aircraft flying at 30,000ft can glide for 100 miles even if all the engines fail. | aerospace |

Happy World Space Week, and greetings from the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Naples, Italy! The GLXP European point-of-contact, Anita, and myself have spent the past week at the largest international space conference of the year. This year the conference attracted over 2000 delegates from around the world, making this venue THE place for learning about the latest and greatest in lunar spacecraft, science, and missions.
It should come as no surprise that a number of Google Lunar X PRIZE teams were here presenting their ideas and opportunities for payload space aboard their vehicles in a few years. In two sessions this week I also presented updates about the teams and the competition, along with several of the teams themselves. I had the pleasure of watching presentations by the Rocket City Space Pioneers (and students working with them), Team Italia, Penn State Lunar Lion Team, and students associated with Barcelona Moon. I also had the chance to meet with Selenokhod and many supporters of the Prize, including our former fearless leader, Will Pomerantz.
I have new information and a couple of infographics that I will share once I return to XPF headquarters, but for the time being I wanted to share an interesting quote from one of my lunar sessions this morning. In the midst of a (mostly) very technical conference, one presenter took a step back and reflected on profoundness of sending spacecraft out into the cosmos:
"It's clear to me that within the focus of the making progress of a mission to the Moon, there is little time to grasp the implications or resonances that hover around the carefully described scientific goals and mission statements that are ostensibly being adhered to. It is though, of pressing importance to do this, because what happens away from the planet becomes amplified... By going away from the Earth, the Moon spacecraft missions take on a relation to the whole Earth, they are unavoidably ambassadorial, and with that goes immense responsibility" -Joanna Griffin, Plymouth University. Just a little food for thought!
In relation to World Space Week, the event was celebrated at IAC Thursday night in the form of a tweet up (#wswtweetup) hosted by Bill Nye (yes, the Science Guy) an ESA astronaut, and a cosmonaut. The room where the event took place was so full that I couldn't see the stage (that's a good sign!) so I resorted to following via twitter much like the outside world. If you are interested in finding out what events are happening near you, please visit www.worldspaceweek.org. There are 3000 events occurring in 97 nations, so chances are that there is something happening near you! This year should be a particularly memorable year for space week, as SpaceX plans to launch the Falcon 9 on Sunday and send a second Dragon to the International Space Station. This week has certainly reinforced my thoughts that we live in a fascinating and exciting time for space exploration, in many ways. So much progress is being made -- particularly in the commercial sector, but also by space agencies old and new -- and I for one can't wait to see what we're capable of and where we'll go in the not-too-distant future. | aerospace |

[Paweł Spychalski]Its creation reminds us of a miniature version of the “Flying Bedstead” that NASA used to train Apollo LM pilots to touch the moon, and which [Neil Armstrong] Some of the attitudes that this little device has found itself have been famously thrown out since the craft was found. The bike is unique thanks to the fuselage of its carbon fiber tube, which is about one meter long and has a rotor at each end. The rotors rotate against each other to control the rotating force and each is mounted on a servo-controlled gimbal for thrust vectoring. The control electronics and batteries are strategically mounted on the tube so that the center of gravity is at approximately equal distances between the rotors.
But can it fly? Yes, but only recently. The video below shows that it must have fallen off the ground, but it bounces a lot trying to find a stable attitude. [Paweł] It seems that gimbling servos are not fast enough to adjust the thrust-vectoring required to keep the stick flying, and we have to agree.
This is not [Paweł]The first expedition to the biker; In 2018 he received the “Fail of the Week” honor for his coaxial dualcopter. The flying stick generally seems to work much better, and even compliments him for bringing it down from the ground. | aerospace |

The goal of Chandrayaan-3 is to soft-land on the moon and deploy a rover to explore the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-3 is India’s second attempt to soft-land on the moon. The first attempt Chandrayaan-2 was launched in 2019, but the lander crashed during its final descent. Chandrayaan-3 is designed to learn from the mistakes of Chandrayaan-2 and improve the chances of success.
The Goals of Chandrayaan-3
The scientific objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are to study the moon’s surface, geology and atmosphere. The rover will be equipped with a variety of instruments to collect data on these topics. The mission will also help India to develop the technologies needed for future lunar exploration.
Learning from Past Experiences
The failure of Chandrayaan-2’s landing was a setback for India’s space program, but it also provided valuable lessons. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has made a number of improvements and modifications to the lander and rover for Chandrayaan-3. These include a new software system a more robust landing system and a revised landing site.
The Technical Challenges
Soft-landing on the moon is a challenging task. The moon’s surface is covered in craters and uneven terrain and there is no atmosphere to slow down a spacecraft. The lander and rover for Chandrayaan-3 have been designed to with stand the harsh conditions of the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-3 is a collaborative effort between ISRO and several international partners. The European Space Agency (ESA) is providing the Landing Module Sensor System (LMSS), which will help the lander to navigate and land safely on the moon. The Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos) is providing the Vikram lander, which will carry the rover to the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-3 Mission Timeline
Chandrayaan-3 is scheduled to launch in July 2023. The lander is expected to soft-land on the moon in August 2023. The rover will then spend several months exploring the lunar surface.
Public Interest and Awareness
There is a great deal of public interest and awareness surrounding Chandrayaan-3. The mission has been widely covered in the media, and there has been a lot of social media buzz. This is a testament to the excitement and enthusiasm that people have for India’s space program.
Chandrayaan-3 has the potential to make a significant impact on India’s space program. If the mission is successful, it will demonstrate India’s capabilities in lunar exploration and pave the way for future missions. The mission will also contribute to scientific knowledge about the moon and help to advance our understanding of the solar system.
Chandrayaan-3 is a major milestone in India’s space exploration journey. The mission has the potential to make significant contributions to scientific knowledge and lunar exploration. ISRO is confident that Chandrayaan-3 will be a success, and the public is eagerly awaiting the results.

The installation marks the culmination of an intensive process of collaboration between Piaggio Aerospace and RUAG Aviation.
The development of the Magnaghi landing gear upgrade for the P.180 Avanti II was a cooperative process from the outset. Piaggio Aerospace engineers worked on the project design and engineering, concluding with the issue of a Service Bulletin, while RUAG Aviation took care of the installation on the aircraft and provided ongoing feedback to the Piaggio Aerospace engineering team. RUAG Aviation also produced part of the installation kit. The final element of the process began in early January, with the trial installation and integration on the launch customer’s aircraft. The work was carried out by RUAG Aviation’s specialists, at the company’s facilities in Lugano – making RUAG the very first 145 Part maintenance organisation to have retrofitted the new Magnaghi system to a P.180 Avanti II.
“We are delighted to have worked so closely with Piaggio Aerospace on this challenging project,” says Stephan Woodtli, General Manager of RUAG Aviation in Lugano. “The installation required both major electrical and structural modifications to the aircraft, but thanks to the close cooperation of everybody involved, it has been a complete success. This project is the very essence of what the RUAG motto is all about – Together ahead.”
Piaggio Aerospace is also extremely satisfied with the outcome of the project, “We thank RUAG Aviation for their highly professional service and cooperation,” says Renato Vaghi, Piaggio Aerospace Chief Executive Officer. “The landing gear upgrade brings the P.180 Avanti family closer to the standard of the Avanti EVO aircraft family and this to very attractive conditions.”
The Magnaghi landing gear system improves ground handling, reduces pilot workload and cuts maintenance costs thanks to a 15,000-cycle/15-year overhaul interval, compared with the 6,000-cycle/12-year schedule of the current landing gear, while a proximity sensor system for NLG and MLG positioning increases reliability and further reduces the need for maintenance requirements, “The new gear offers long-term cost savings, reducing overhaul costs by 50 percent compared to the existing system,” says Renato Vaghi. Moreover, the Magnaghi landing gear is designed to accommodate other advanced features such as an anti-skid system or LED landing lights.

Moreover, customers, these days are preferring to change their interiors, with attractive materials, furnishings, and colors, and other custom touches to make their aircraft cabins unique. This trend is also driving the market studied.
The business jet MRO market is highly consolidated with few players accounting for the majority of the market share.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the business jet flight activity witnessed a slight decline in the first half of 2020 compared to business jet flight activity during the same period in 2019. This decline in flight activity has affected the overall revenues of the flight activities, which in turn is expected to affect the spending of the companies towards aircraft MRO.
Key Market Trends
Components MRO Segment of the Market is Expected to Witness Highest Growth
The components MRO segment of the market is expected to grow rapidly during the forecast period. The segment includes repair and modification of aircraft components like brakes, avionic, APU, thrust reverses, landing gears, equipment/furnishings, fuel systems, and flight controls among others. With the slowdown of business aviation around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, various companies are actively performing component checks and inspections to maintain high standards for future operations. Further modification and upgrades of the existing systems on aircraft are necessary for maintaining the aircraft to be up to date with newer technologies.
In May 2020, DC Aviation Group was awarded a contract for the comprehensive overhaul of a Challenger 605, including a 48-month check, a cabin refurbishment, and Proline 21 Advanced Upgrade. The Proline 21 Advanced Upgrade includes the installation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment on board an aircraft. Such increasing demand for modifications is expected to accelerate the growth of the segment during the forecast period.
North America Currently Dominates the Market in Terms of Market Share
The large fleet of private and charter aircraft in the United States and Canada, with over 14,000 business jets in active service has driven the need for MRO services in the region. , Besides, the attractive growth prospects of the business jet charter industry in the region has also resulted in the creation of an extensive MRO network in the region. In the last two years, MRO capability expansion activities in North America increased considerably.
In December 2019, Gulfstream Aerospace opened its approximately 66,000 square feet second MRO facility at Van Nuys Airport in Southern California. The new facility will serve as a local operating base for Gulfstream FAST Field and Airborne Support Teams. Such expansion plans of the companies in the North America region to capitalize on the growing opportunities in the business jet MRO industry is expected to propel the growth of the market in the region.
The business jet MRO market is highly consolidated with few players in the market-dominating majority of market share. Some of the prominent players in the business jet MRO market are Bombardier Inc., General Dynamics Corporation, Rolls Royce plc, and Raytheon Technologies Corporation (Pratt & Whitney), Lufthansa Technik AG. To further increase their presence in the market, the companies are constructing new MRO facilities at strategic locations and acquiring the local players. Several local players are partnering with OEMs to gain the technical expertise and required MRO certification for performing on-site MRO services to the business jets.
For instance, in March 2020, DC Aviation Group and Comlux signed a cooperation agreement, under which DC Aviation will perform the line maintenance and warranty work for Comlux customers based in Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) regions. Such partnerships are expected to help the companies enhance their share and presence in the market during the forecast period.

CNBC reports that Delta is preparing to send notices to 2,558 pilots about prospective furloughs. At the very same time, Delta has also reached a contract with its pilots union about early retirement options. The early retirement option is a voluntary strategy that, together with overdue leaves, will help Delta decrease its staff in the middle of a need for reductions.
Delta is preparing to send notices to over 2,500 pilots on furloughs. Picture: Getty ImagesPreparing for furloughs.
Delta validated the notifications to Simple Flying and discussed early retirements:
In a webcast seen by Simple Flying, Americans chief, Doug Parker, noted that furloughs become part of the “old airline company playbook.” For pilots, especially, furloughs are appealing for airlines. Releasing pilots is tough considering that they require a lot of training and are a big investment for carriers. The airline does not need to let go of pilots officially, however, in essence, can maintain sufficient pilots for when it does recover some passenger need. In the meantime, it keeps an airlines payroll slim and belongs to a cost-cutting relocation.
” Delta and ALPA continue to talk about significant alternatives to prevent or reduce pilot furloughs. In an effort to finest prepare our pilots must furloughs be required, Delta will send needed notifications to roughly 2,500 pilots to let them understand of a possible furlough.
Ultimately, there is still time for the situation to play out in a different way. While need has actually started to return, it is no place near the levels airlines will need to turn profits. Plus, the airline company might have to cut more flights as the crisis continues to unfold. Up until we are past the current crisis, it will be a tough roadway for executives and staff members as carriers cut everyday money burns and try to chart a successful course forward.
The relocation comes as Delta continues to deal with supporting its operations and reducing cash output. Picture: Getty ImagesDelta was hoping to decrease furloughs
Aside from the hectic vacation season, winter season is among the worst for airlines with low travel demand. This is especially real now that plenty of leisure locations are no longer appealing– specifically out in Europe and the northern United States. Currently, Delta has actually shown it will be much smaller sized come the fall. The MD-series has actually already been retired and the airline company is preparing for the last 777 flights in the fall. This alone minimizes Deltas fleet count by over 60 planes compared to pre-crisis levels.
Delta has actually retired some aircraft types and lowered flying for the next couple of years, at least, leaving a number of surplus pilots. Picture: Getty ImagesRight now, Deltas pilots are safeguarded from furloughs and layoffs until October 1st– when federal payroll assistance runs out.
The 777s are on their way out. Picture: Getty ImagesEven amongst the planes that Delta will fly in the future, till summer season 2021, the airline company will not require all of that capacity. Some will unquestionably stay parked and, with new aircraft shipments deferred and 4 A350 acquisitions canceled, some of Deltas pilots might not have the alternative to fly other planes otherwise retrain for a couple of months.
It will take time for need to come back to pre-crisis levels. Picture: Getty ImagesWhy furloughs?
Early this month, Delta was working with its unions to prevent furloughs for over 2,300 pilots. While the number has actually grown slightly ever since, the airline company is still attempting the very best it can to prevent furloughs. The airline companys policy has always been to concentrate on lowering the involuntary part of task cuts or furloughs. This has actually led airline companies to provide some exceptionally attractive early retirement packages.

Israel is looking into reports that Russia plans to sell 250 advanced long-range Sukhoi-30 fighter jets to Iran in an unprecedented billion-dollar deal.
According to reports, in addition to the fighter jets, Teheran also plans to purchase a number of aerial fuel tankers that are compatible with the Sukhoi and capable of extending its range by thousands of kilometers. Defense officials said the Sukhoi sale would grant Iran long-range offensive capabilities.
Government officials voiced concern over the reports. They said Russia could be trying to compete with the United States, which announced over the weekend a billion-dollar arms sale to Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states.
Despite Israeli and US opposition, Russia recently supplied Iran with advanced antiaircraft systems used to protect Teheran's nuclear installations. At the time, Moscow said it reserved the right to sell Iran weapons, such as the antiaircraft system, that were of a defensive nature.
The Sukhoi-30 is a two-seat multi-role fighter jet and bomber capable of operating at significant distances from home base and in poor weather conditions. The aircraft enjoys a wide range of combat capabilities and is used for air patrol, air defense, ground attacks, enemy air defense suppression and air-to-air combat.
After years of negotiations, the Indian Air Force in 1996 purchased 40 Sukhoi-30s and in 2000 acquired the license from the company to manufacture an additional 140 aircrafts. | aerospace |

From left, Fred Woll, tow pilot; Jim Morzillo, FAA Examiner; Pam Grandin, student pilot; Robert Mitchell; and Doug Hatch, Mitchell’s endorsing instructor and mentor.
SCHENECTADY At 83 years old, Dr. Robert Mitchell may be one of the oldest new pilots in the nation, but he’s just happy to be gliding through the sky.
Mitchell earned his FAA Private Pilot License for glider planes earlier this month at Saratoga County Airport. He trained for three years before taking the exam.
This wasn’t the first time Mitchell had stepped into the cockpit, though.
“I started flying when I was in medical school back in Scotland and I have always been quite enthusiastic about flying,” said Mitchell. “It was a childhood dream that I would be a pilot.”
Mitchell grew up in Britain the years before and during World War II. He was 12 years old during the Battle of Britain, the air campaign waged by the German Air Force against the United Kingdom during the summer and autumn of 1940. The battle also marked the first major campaign fought exclusively by air forces.
“That was a very important part of my life experience as a child,” Mitchell said of the Battle of Britain. “The adventure, excitement … probably a lot of kids my age then wanted to be fighter pilots and save the country.”
World War II concluded before he was old enough to join the air force, but he did serve as a cadet in the British Royal Air Force for five years and flew de Havilland Tiger Moth biplanes with the Aberdeen University Air Squadron.
Mitchell has lived in the United States since 1955 and currently lives in the City of Schenectady. He also graduated from medical school before moving to the states. He now works at Saratoga Hospital in the psychiatric clinic part time. He said he finds his work similar to flying, because both have elements of the unknown.
Gliders don’t have an engine, so they use updrafts called thermals to keep the plane flying through the air. Airliner pilots don’t welcome turbulence, he said, but some turbulence is a good thing for glider pilots. An ideal soaring day would be a couple of days after a cold front passed when there are “lots of floppy” cumulus clouds. | aerospace |

A flying plane skillfully negotiating the clouds above, seemingly unfazed by the soggy ground below is a sight to behold.
That is when many people wonder and ask, ” Do planes fly above rain clouds”?
Come with us as we investigate the exciting intersection of technology, meteorology, and the unstoppable will fly.
And all this to answer, ” Do planes fly above the rain?”
Yes, planes can fly above the rain and they do it quite often because the rain clouds usually do not go beyond 6,500ft and planes fly above that range.
Do Planes Fly Above Rain?
Yes. Planes regularly fly above the rain.
Rain-producing clouds develop very low down in the atmosphere and rarely extend beyond 6,500ft. In fact, some even touch ground as fog impeding visibility.
Such rain clouds are dense and heavy with moisture and do not rise high enough to have any impact on commercial flights.
Flight altitudes and Rain
Commercial flights fly at about 35,000ft. An altitude some 10,000 ft above most rain producing clouds.
Thunderclouds are a different matter. These can reach 60,000ft, far too high for any plane to fly over.
Around them a phenomenon called windshear suddenly changes the direction of fast-moving air currents.
These buffering winds make thunderstorms much too hazardous to simply fly through even at a jet airliner’s cruising speed.
An Important Consideration
In rare conditions in the cold high altitudes, moisture drawn from the cloud freezes as ice on the wings.
There is an equally rare chance of the plane stalling, or heavy rain causing a ‘flame out’ extinguishing the engine.
Cruising Altitude based on Rain
In the vast majority of instances, once in flight, modern aircraft are not unduly impacted by rain.
A small aircraft will feel more of an impact than a large jet-propelled aircraft traveling very fast at around 575 mph.
In minutes, they shoot through relatively small, localized weather as they climb towards the higher atmosphere.
High up with the jet streams, they are unlikely to meet ordinary rain.
Instead, they encounter massive global weather systems capable of hurricane strength winds and unpleasant turbulence.
It happens when the plane encounters:
- Sudden up and down drafts
- Pockets of air with low pressure
- Below zero temperatures
Preferred Altitudes for Commercial Aircraft When Raining
In high wind and heavy rain conditions, all planes are grounded.
Weather systems that are hundreds of miles across and stretch into the atmosphere for ten miles are more than capable of producing severe weather nasties.
This is when you might encounter subzero ice rain and golf ball sized hailstones.
In normal flying conditions, commercial aircraft fly at altitudes where the air offers less resistance to save fuel.
They fly direct routes to hubs in flight routes at altitudes between 32,000ft and almost 40,000ft, often reaching their set cruising altitude just minutes after take-off.
And that is obviously way above than rain clouds.
How Can Planes Fly Above Rain and Rain Clouds?
Aircraft are designed and built to fly in all sorts of weather conditions.
Normal rain has no impact on the structure of the plane or on its performance.
It is mainly because the pilots are highly trained on how to fly in all types of weather and have a bank of technology to help them make informed decisions.
Managing Visibility While Raining
Pilots and airlines prefer to err on the side of caution and not fly in the poor visibility of heavy rain conditions.
This is especially true if low temperatures mean there is a risk of the raindrops freezing onto the windshield or icing the wings.
Heavy rain in itself is not a problem even for a plane in the air. The instruments are designed to take over flying in low visibility.
The Role of Tech in Helping Planes Fly
There are all sorts of technology on board modern aircraft, including autopilot, but the pilots undertake the take-off, landing and taxiing.
They need at least 18,000ft of visibility to land and travel from the runway to the terminal building safely.
In poor weather, visibility is the main concern, not how well the plane handles.
Fact: Normal heavy rain has no impact on large commercial planes although it does sometimes ground smaller aircraft and in certain conditions render them not legal to fly.
Effect of Rain on Aircraft Performance
Planes can fly above rain because there is little to no effect of rain on aircraft performance.
The rain has little effect usually but when the rain is part of a thunderstorm pilots use radar and weather reports to find a way around them.
Although even heavy rain is unlikely to structurally damage a plane, excess water can cause problems on take-off and landing.
Even if the visibility is reasonable, the rain leaves runways slick and more challenging.
In any rain the tower, ground crew and pilots are constantly assessing the risks and even at the last moment might abort a landing and re-route the plane to a safer place.
An Important Consideration
However well-made the plane is or how accomplished the pilot, flying in precipitation of any kind is not risk-free.
Rain is considered a serious threat to flight safety.
Fact: There have been accidents attributed to rain with concerns that rain could affect the plane’s aerodynamics by sticking to the wings not just impeding the view from the windshield.
The Use of Repellent Systems to Fly above Rain
The main reason flights are grounded or diverted is not heavy rain but poor visibility due partly to the rain on the windshield.
Keeping that in mind, aircraft cockpit windows are treated with a hydrophobic seal coating. The rain beads up and rolls off.
There are also chemical rain repellents that draw raindrops together, much like mercury.
As well as better visibility, such treatments could eliminate the need for wipers completely.
It would improve visibility even further although airplane wipers are pretty high tech too.
They can be electric or hydraulic, with separate systems for the pilots and co-pilot but suitable for operating at speed.
How Do Planes Deal with Rain and Rain Clouds?
Pilots have reported dips in performance that seem to increase with the rain intensity.
It happens as the air mixed with rainwater covers the plane’s lifting surfaces.
Its lower density produces reduced lift which manifests as a drag, slowing the airspeed.
At any one time there are multiple aircraft following a flight route.
The drag each plane experiences slowing it down creates a knock-on effect resulting in:
- Missed Connections
Since regional hubs have several flight routes, a significant storm has the potential to throw the air transportation network into chaos.
To deal with these issues, planes often navigate around bad weather.
Navigation around Severe Weather When Needed
Along with safety and passenger comfort, the drag wasting both fuel and time adds to the list of reasons why airlines want to avoid flying during severe weather.
This is true even though planes are super high tech and equipped with aircraft weather radar.
It is a collection of instruments that detect and display weather activity, including lightning. They also detect how dense any precipitation is.
Pilots also use at least two weather reports:
- A worldwide PIREP system to instantly report actual adverse weather conditions
- A general weather conditions report
Along with information provided by airport radar, pilots can navigate around most severe conditions to at least land somewhere safely.
When is It Essential to Divert or Delay Flights?
By far, the majority of delays and diversions are weather related, close to 75.5% between June 2017 and May 2022.
Not all delays were related to the weather at these particular airports but the result of them quickly reaching capacity as they accept planes diverting in from elsewhere.
Airlines follow the weather very closely, taking advantage of real time satellite imagery and only begin to delay or cancel flights when they have to.
Circumstances Leading to Delays
- Low visibility, including fog, smog, snow and very heavy rain.
- Ice on the plane despite chemical de-icing procedures.
- When crosswinds speeds, a reliable signal of approaching severe storms and fronts reaching between 30 and 37 mph.
- Slick runways resulting in a plane sliding off the runway on a ‘runway excursion’.
- Bad weather, a major hub effecting every flight that routes through it.
Fact: Newark and La Guardia together had a total of 66,000 significant delays in 2019 alone.
Do planes fly above rain?
Absolutely, planes can certainly fly above rain clouds, and they always do that without a problem.
These days, planes are so advanced that they can tackle most weather conditions, including heavy rain.
In fact, even small planes are now in a position to comfortably fly in difficult weather conditions.
So, there is no need to worry when it is raining and you want to fly. | aerospace |

Finite element modeling of components to determine service and fabrication loads found inelastic behavior and residual stresses to be significant to component life. Inelastic behavior mitigates peak strains but enhances residual strains. Results of furnace, Mach 0.3 burner, and engine tests are discussed and categorized into design criteria (loading, geometry, fabrication, materials, analysis, and testing). These design rules and finite element analyses are brought to bear on two test cases: turboshaft engine seals, and rocket thrust chambers.

Buzz Aldrin reveals he had his own moon landing strategy in mind during iconic moon landing mission
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are known for being the first two people to ever set foot on the moon following the historic Apollo 11 mission. An old interview back in 2016 reveals that Aldrin had his own ideas as to how they could complete their mission.
Speaking to Professor Brian Cox at the Science Museum, Aldrin recalled that prior to the actual execution of the mission, he was working on his rendezvous thesis, mainly the rendezvous around the Earth. “I’d pretty much finished that and then it looked like there was this debate between Wernher von Braun and the science adviser, who both thought that the lander Ron Brown designed was too big,” shared Aldrin.
Aldrin then went on to share how the lander needed something like the Nova rocket with nine engines, but the rocket would not be ready until the seventies. Armstrong and Aldrin were able to fulfill the late JFK’s promise to have someone on the moon by the end of the decade in 1969. “So they had to use two Saturn 5, the first for the rocket stage, to take the spacecraft to the Moon, then you would send up the spacecraft and join together,” recalled Aldrin, who then revealed that when the mission was broken up into three parts, where the risk factor was much higher.
He shared that an engineer from another center explained to them that the mission would require a command module for the first part and a lander for when they finally land on the moon. Although the risk was high, Aldrin shared that it was the easier method, and it only needed one rocket compared to the other method, which required two. It was then that Aldrin revealed that he had a third method in mind, but he chose to keep it to himself instead.
Meanwhile, some unreleased photos of the events, including the celebrations that occurred after the moon mission. Some photos included Cambridge University Professor Dr. Stuart Agrell, carrying the bag of lunar samples collected by Armstrong and Aldrin while riding the London Underground. Along with Armstrong and Aldrin was Michael Collins, who was also present during the Apollo 11 mission but was orbiting around the moon, and the three astronauts went on an international tour after being cleared out of quarantine by NASA. | aerospace |

The Cessna 404 is commonly referred to as titanium. It is considered a passenger, commercial and cargo aircraft and was designed by the American company Cessna Aircraft Company. On February 26, 1975, the first flight of the machine took place. Only one year later, the market entry of the American aviation authority followed. In just six years, from 1976 to 1982, a total of 378 pieces of the Cessna 404 were built. The result is the model from the Cessna 402B. However, the Cessna 404 is stretched by 91 centimeters and also has a new horizontal stabilizer with positive V-position. The machine is powered by two turbocharged GTSIO-520-M engines. Furthermore, the model is also used militarily. These user countries include the United States, Mexico, Bolivia and Hong Kong.
Technical data for the Cessna 404
The Cessna 404 is 12.05 meters long and 4.04 meters high. It can accommodate up to ten passengers and one or two crew members. The wingspan is 14.12 meters and the wing area is 22.58 square meters. The Cessna 404 benefits from a payload of 1,623 kilograms, with the machine's empty weight of 2,179 kilograms. This results in a maximum takeoff weight of 3,802 kilograms. The plane flies at a cruising speed of 370 kilometers per hour. The top speed is 402 kilometers per hour. The tanks have a range of 2,962 kilometers and the maximal service ceiling is at 7,925 meters.

In order to participate in the exclusive program with Mars One, applicants had to register with the organization and send in a video documenting why they should be selected. Almost 200,000 sent in their applications, and now, about 99-percent of those applicants have been cut. Mars One announced that they have filtered the applicants down to 1,058 people, who, if picked, will be split into four-person teams from about a dozen people. Those teams, in turn, will then star in a reality TV show to showcase their training and participate in challenges leading up to the launch date in 2025. Mars One founder Bas Lansdorp said that the selection process was about "separating those who we feel are physically and mentally adept to become human ambassadors on Mars from those who are obviously taking the mission much less seriously." Apparently, many people had filmed their application videos while naked.
Mars One is currently trying to raise money to send a satellite and lander to Mars in 2018, which will allow them to live-stream events straight from the red planet.
Seem like high hopes? Yeah, but if it does happen, we're sure people will tune in to watch.

We think that doesn't happen these days - but it happened to MH370. (Most likely the plane simply went down, but these kinds of disappearances have all but ended now we have better tracking). It send no distress signal. The pilots didn't say anything - but the plane did start to turn off of its flight path. I have to wonder if something in the flight electronics crashed.
We think we have removed a lot of the mystery from the world - and we have - but things like this can still happen. Can and do. Not that it makes me afraid to fly - planes don't go down very often, after all. But it does remind me that we can't know everything. Even on Earth. | aerospace |

While the majority of attention on armed drones has focused on US use (and to some extent on the UK and Israeli), growing proliferation of these systems has meant that a number of other countries have acquired or developed armed drones and are beginning to regularly use them to launch strikes.
Most of these second wave of countries have acquired their armed drones from China – either the slightly older ‘Wing Loong (‘Pterodactyl’) developed by Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group Read more →
The news that the UK has followed the US and Israel in using armed drones to launch a targeted killing outside of UN sanctioned armed conflict should make the international community even more concerned about the growing proliferation of armed drones.
It wasn’t that long ago that an article about the use of drones in the mainstream press was a rare occurrence. Now so much is happening that it is difficult to keep up with all the news about drones. Over the past two weeks important developments have taken place on a number of fronts so we thought a general news round-up would be helpful. Read more →
Western defense officials and experts were surprised to see more than 25 different Chinese models of the unmanned aircraft, known as UAVs, on display at this week’s Zhuhai air show in this southern Chinese city. It was a record number for a country that unveiled its first concept UAVs at the same air show only four years ago…. China is investing considerable time and money to develop drone technology, and is actively promoting its products on the international market …. It is of particular concern to the U.S. and Israel, whose drones are unrivalled in the world today.
One of the Chinese drones, WJ600, will caused considerable anxiety as a video animation showed it helping “to attack what appeared to be a U.S. aircraft carrier steaming toward an island off China’s coast that many visitors assumed to be Taiwan”. Another, dubbed ‘the Chinese Predator’ by the aviation magazines, has undergone a series of flight trials, including weapons launches. | aerospace |

Regardless of how often you fly, the majority of people you meet today have a shared curiosity for all things air travel.
We asked the general public to share their top airline questions with us. From smart to funny, passengers asked it all! Here are the top 10 questions pilots get asked, with responses from a real-life commercial pilot!
1- Do pilots nap while in the air?
“Yes and No. Typically US pilots are not allowed to sleep while in the cockpit. All pilots are assumed to be alert and diligent while at the controls at 38,000 ft. In fact, some aircraft have alarms that will sound if a control or switch is not touched frequently enough, ensuring that the crew did not fall asleep. On long international flights, there are additional pilots onboard that can relieve a pilot in flight. These augmented crews allow pilots on flights typically longer then 8 hours in duration, the opportunity to go to a spare seat or bunk and grab some shut-eye during flight. It should be noted however, that different countries have different rules. Some foreign airlines do allow pilots to take controlled naps under very strict rules and guidelines while in the air.”
2- Do pilots ever get scared?
“Scared is not the proper word; concerned or heightened awareness might better describe a pilot’s feelings on certain occasions. Pilots are placed in highly stressful situations from early on in flight training. They are trained to perform in situations varying from simulated fires, engine failures, rapid decompression, and strong wind shears, just to name a few. The training itself is designed to condition the pilot to be able to react to the most difficult inflight emergency calmly and rationally. In some ways, fear is conditioned out of the airline pilot, making him or her the cool, calm professional you see strolling around airline terminals worldwide today.”
3- Do crewmembers ever “hook-up”?
“Long overnights in places like Paris, London, New York, Las Vegas do provide the opportunity for pilots and flight attendants to mingle and fraternize. Combine that with good food, beautiful scenery, world-class resorts, and you now have a beautiful backdrop where on occasion can lead to romance in the skies. That being said, most airline crews are professionals who are only looking to perform their job duties and fly the public safely from point A to point B. They want to do their job, see a bit of the world, and then return home safely to their families. Some airlines have taken additional steps however, putting pilots and flight attendants up in separate hotels on their overnights, alleviating the chance of any possible ‘wrongdoing’ between flight crews.”
4- Do Captain’s and First Officers eat different meals to avoid food poisoning?
“In the classic 1980s movie Airplane!, the crew is stricken with food poisoning as they all ate the same fish dinner. In real-life however, all airline food is handled under very strict guidelines making food poisoning very, very rare. But most pilot crew meals are never the same. This is more likely due to the tastes of the individual rather then for the concerns over possible food poisoning.”
5- How much money do pilots make? Are pilots underpaid?
“Pilots like any other employee (yourself included) would probably gladly take more money. The amount a pilot makes depends on their position (Captain vs. First Officer), Aircraft Type (EMB-190, 737, Airbus 340), company longevity, and the type of airline (Legacy, Major, Regional) they work for. All these factors go into determining the pilots pay.
At the low end of the pay scale, a new-hire regional airline First Officer might only make around 25-30K a year. While at the higher end, a senior Legacy 777 Captain might make upwards of 300k a year. Overall, your average pilot is probably making in the 120K range, but again, this is all dependent of where the individual pilot falls within each of those categories.”
6- Are pilots overworked and tired? How many hours can a pilot fly per day?
“Rules that govern rest for pilots in the United States have recently gone thru a major overhaul. Designed to take into affect a persons Circadian Rhythms, which is the human bodies natural highs and lows thru the day, the new rules are designed to limit pilot fatigue. In fact, if a pilot is fatigued, several airlines have policies in affect that allow them to call in fatigued with no threat of disciplinary action from the company, as long as they submit the proper report. This is all in an effort to keep you the traveller safe. As a general rule, pilots can fly about 8 hours a day and be on duty around 12 hours, but there are exceptions to both these times.”
7- Is flying safe? Are bigger planes safer then smaller planes?
“Without a doubt flying is the safest mode of transportation in the world! Aircrafts are designed to a very strict and exact standard. Every aspect of air travel is governed by extremely precise rules that must be followed to the letter. Airlines incur very steep fines even for the smallest and most innocent of documentation errors, much less blatant and non-compliant ones. Airline crews are highly-trained and competent, ensuring the highest levels of safety aboard any flight.
All transport-category airplanes (airliners basically) must have the same level of safety. A 50-seat regional jet by-enlarge has the same type of safety equipment and system redundancies as that of a larger airliner. The Federal Aviation Administration that governs air travel operates under the system of ‘One Level of Safety’. This means all airlines and airplanes that fly the public around, must conform to the highest levels of safety and standards.”
8- How much training do pilots receive?
“Even before a pilot ever sets foot into an airline cockpit, they have probably undergone several years of training in either the military or civilian flight schools (sometimes both). Once hired by an airline, pilots must go through several weeks of training in order to learn the specifics of how that airline operates, known as ‘Operational Specifications’ (Opsecs), followed by simulated training on the particular airplane in which they are going to fly. Once this process is complete, pilots are then given a ‘check-ride’ on a simulator, which is conducted by either a FAA examiner or a company pilot that is trained to give these types of flight check events.
Following all this training, pilots can then begin flying on the actual airplane. This phase is called IOE (Initial Operating Experience), in which pilots fly on revenue flights under the watchful eye of a Line Check Airman, who is specifically trained to fly with pilots that are new to the airline or that particular airplane. This procedure is repeated every time a pilot goes to a new airplane or even a new seat (First Officer to Captain). Every pilot regardless of his or her experience must also go through yearly training. Here they undergo hours of classroom training, computer based instruction, and airplane simulator flying, ensuring that they are up-to-date with the most recent flight guidelines.”
9- How does the auto-pilot work? Do all planes use this?
“Autopilot works by using the airplanes internal sensors and computers to fly the airplane while pilots monitor the airplanes performance. This provides an extra level of safety by releasing the pilots from the sometimes-tedious process of physically hand-flying the airplane, and allowing them to focus on other tasks such as weather, turbulence, Air Traffic Control communications, etc. All airliners with over 19-seats have some type of autopilot. In larger airplanes, additional features exist like auto-land functions, which allow the airplane to execute an approach and landing in low visibility conditions without the pilot having to touch the controls.”
10- What are the advantages being a pilot?
“We get to do what we love, and that is fly. We meet so many wonderful people along the way, and experience so many new destinations. Plus, it’s always a sunny day at work when you’re a pilot!”

ALBANY -- Thrush Aircraft has added an eighth South American country to its portfolio with the delivery and flight of a 510P in Argentina.
The 510 was purchased by Sandro and Telma Peisino, owners of Yebila Serivicios Agroaereos, ag aviation operator in Venado Tuerto, Argentina.
"I don't believe any other manufacturer offers an airplane that can provide such maneuverability," Peisino said following the flight. "The Thrush 510P maintains the highest margin of safety and dependability that we demand in our operation. There is simply no better aircraft."
More that 100 agricultural aviators and operators in Argentina attended the first flight demonstration to help celebrate the maiden voyage and for a chance to see the legendary 510P up close.
Piloted by Terry Humphrey, Thrush Aircraft's Marketing and Contract Sales Director, the first flight showcased the Thrush 510P in action.
While the 510P was in flight the aviators were able to see the load and carry capabilities of the aircraft with a full hopper, as well as the wing design of the Thrush 510P.
The demonstration also included a presentation by Thrush Aircraft President Payne Hughes with an opportunity for many aviators to ask questions about the aircraft.
"South America is a booming market for us, and there is a huge demand and market for the 510P Thrush in Argentina." Hughes said.
Thrush manufactures a full range of aerial application aircraft used in agriculture, forestry and fire fighting roles worldwide.
Today there are more than 2,200 Thrush aircraft operating in some 80 countries around the world.
Hughes says he expects business to get a boost as soon the company's new 510G aircraft -- with a new GE engine -- is fully certified.
Hughes added the company has pre-sold 10 of the 510Gs, but will withhold further production until the federal certification process is complete.

8 DIE, 1 MISSING IN PLANE CRASH.
10 MEN RESCUED FROM ATLANTIC; TAKEN ABOARD U. S. - GERMAN SHIPS.
Falmouth, Mass. AP -- Ten men were rescued and 8 bodies recovered today from the 19-man crew of a U. S. Air Force plane down in the North
The Coast Guard said one members of the crew was missing.
The rescued men were taken aboard U. S. and German destroyers in the vicinity of the crash 145 miles east northeast of Nantucket.
The four engine propellor plane ditched in the fog-shrouded sea late Sunday night. It was on duty as an early warning radar plane.
The bodies all were reported aboard the destroyer Barry out of Newport, R. I. Three survivors also were aboard the Barry.
Helicopters from the U. S. carrier Wasp, on maneuvers in the area along with the German Navy vessels, picked up most of the crewmen and deposited them on board one of the German ships.
At least two men were picked up by small boats.
Names of the survivors and other crewmen were not immediately available.
The rescues were undertaken despite a fog which limited visibility to from 50 to 100 yards. The seas were reported as moderate, yet too rough for a seaplane to land.
The German vessels, operating on maneuvers with the USS Wasp, are the former American destroyers USS Anthony, USS Ringgold and the USS Wadsworth.
The men were put aboard the vessel formerly know as the Anthony and now carrying the name Blotter.
The Coast Guard said its reports indicate only 10 of the 18 crew members have been sighted. Spokesmen at Otis Air Force Base said some reports indicated 15 men had been sighted in the water.
A search area of 80 square miles have been blocked off, the Coast Guard said.
The Coast Guard said that an Air Force plane, just a minute earlier, had received six SOS signals on a radio frequency used by transmitters normally kept on emergency.
Until that time there had been only one possible signal from survivors -- and then no further word through the night.
The flares and markers of dye dumped in the ocean waters were spotted with the first rays of morning sunlight.
Rescue planes and ships had searched in thick fog late Sunday night and early this morning. More planes and ships were rushed to the scene at dawn.
The Coast Guard said debris, papers and an oil slick had also been sighted in the area where the plane went down.
Otis Air Force Base said the four-engine EC121 radar picket plane dropped into the Atlantic Ocean Sunday night northeast of Nantucket Island.
Moments before, one of the three pilots had radioed that one engine was aflame, another was feathered and they were forced to ditch.
A Pan American World Airways jetliner en route to Europe from New York was diverted to the scene and circled overhead, as a full-scale military search and rescue mission was organized.
Little more than an hour after the plane went down, a search plane picked up a signal believed to be from a radio homing device used on emergency rafts.
But an Otis spokesman said, "We received only the one signal and we lost it. A plane went down to search the area where we thought it was, but found nothing."
Seas at the time were light to moderate but because of the fog, visibility was reported as zero.
The propeller-driven craft was a military version of the Lockheed Super-G Constellation. It was one of 38 based at Otis that carry their sweeping radar domes up and down the northern coastline of the North American continent on the alert for possible enemy attack.
Part of the 551st Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing, it operated normally about 200 miles offshore in a protective screen from Norfolk, Va., to Newfoundland.
The Air Force said the $2.5-million craft carried about five tons of radar and that it was the first to have ditched since the round-the-clock surveillance begin at Otis 10 years ago.

These 10 aircrafts below are terrors and saviors. With their ability, Pilot can drop anything from view millimeters bullets to nuclear head missile. They have fast machine, they only picked the best pilot to control them and they can soar faster than their own roar machines. This is top 10 fastest plane in the world.
10. General Dynamics F-111 “Aardvark”
USAF produced Aardvark in 1960s and they built it to serve US naval force. USAF completed F-111 with pioneer technology of standard super sonic aircraft such as variable sweep wings and afterburner turbofan. 2 Pratt and Whitney TF30-P-100 turbofans power F-111 and each turbofan supplies 17,900 lbf dry thrust, which can push the aircraft soars at 2.5 time sonic speed or 2.5 Mach or 1,650 mile per hour.
09. MiG 31 FoxHound
Russia developed MiG 31 Foxhound to replace former MiG-25 FoxBat , which loses maneuverability at dodging. A twin Soloviev D-30F6 afterburners with 2.94 aspect ration powers FoxHound and is capable to produce 34,172 lbf of thrust which can make the FoxHound raids at 2.83 sonic speed or 1,860 mph.
08. F-15 Eagle
F-15 Eagle is American supersonic aircraft from McDonnell Douglas. The producer packed the F-15 with shoulder-mounted wings, full-computerized control system, radar from APG-63/70 pulse-Doppler, and a twin Pratt & amp; Whitney F100 axial-flow turbofan completed with afterburners. The machine supplies 29000 lbf and it can make the jet flies beyond 1,660 mph or 2,7 Mach at high altitude.
07. XB-70 Valkyrie
XB-70 A was an experimental supersonic aircraft that is propelled with a delta wing. USAF only operate Valkyrie view times and retired the jet in a short span. On its active days, Valkyrie can fly at Mach 3 speed. The speed came from 6 GE YJ93-GE-3 afterburning turbojet which supplied 70,000 ft and was capable to make the jet soared at 2,056 mph ( around 3.1 Mach). Engineer equipped the jet with adjustable air-intake control system, which was able to stop or absorb kinetic energy from supersonic force equivalent to energy to stop 800 cars moving at 100 miles per hour.
06. Bell X-2
Bell X-2 was another experimental supersonic to find solution of “thermal barrier” and aerodynamic friction heat while a supersonic jet nears Mach 3 speed. Engineers bodied the jet with a copper-nickel alloy and stainless steel and they powered the jet with a 2-chamber XLR25 sea level thrust limit-able machine. Lieutenant Colonel Frank K. “Pete” Everest and Captain Iven C. Kincheloe had tested the jet in 1955. Sadly, when Captain Iven C. Kincheloe tested the plane, it killed him. Before the jet crashed, for a short time, at 126,200 ft, the jet had carried Captain Iven soared beyond Mach 3 or 2094 mph. He was the first man who flew beyond Mach 3. Too bad, he could not enjoy the glory after he decided to turn the jet while he was at speed beyond Mach 3
05. MiG-25 “Foxbat”
MiG-25 Foxbat was a respond of USSR’s military after US launched a B-70 bomber around 1960s, which can fly at Mach3 above 70,000 feet while carrying nuclear bombs. MiG-25 “Foxbat” or Foxbat-B is a super jet interceptor that is designed to dodge, intercept and destroy superfast aircraft such B-70 at altitude 70-80 thousands feet. MiG-25 is supported by 2 Tumansky R-15B-300 turbojets with afterburners that produces 100.1 kN thrust, which is capable to tears the jet at 3,2 Mach or 2170 mph.
04. SR-71 Blackbird
SR-71 Blackbird is a Lockheed skunk works that was designed to replace U-2 reconnaissance jet. The SR-71 Blackbird can fly at 100,000 feet and beyond while speeding at 3.5 Mach. The maximum range is around 4000 miles. It got the speed from 2 Pratt & amp; Whitney J58-1 continuous-bleed turbojets with afterburner, which supplied 32,500 lbf (145 kN) thrust each and can pushed the jet fly at 2,500 mph. SR-71 served USAF in 1966, retired in the late 80s, backed to service in the first 90s and total retired in 1998.
X-15 is an experimental jet and it was designed to find answer to build a better space shuttle technology. During the test, X-15 showed can fly at 354,330 ft while cruising at 4,520 mph or 6.72 Mach. X-15 carries one Thiokol XLR99-RM-2 rocket engine that is powered by liquid oxygen, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide to pump the liquid fuel effectively.
X-43A is a remote-controlled, experimental and hypersonic jet and known as the fastest aircraft in the world. X-43A is classified as a Scramjet because it moves with a supersonic-combustion-ramjet or Scramjet. During test on Nov. 16, 2004, the engine is capable to push the unmanned jet soars at 9.8 Mach or 7,546 mph or equal to 3 times SR-71 Blackbird. Liquid Oxygen fuels it and, unlike Blackbird, it does not need any hydrogen
01. Space Shuttle
Space Shuttle is part of NASA human space-flight mission or called Space transport system project. Every Space shuttle carries RLS or reusable launch system that composes Reusable Orbiter Vehicle (OV) fueled by MMH/N2O4, External tank (EV) fueled by LOX/LX2 and 2 reusable SRB or Solid rocket boosters. On the launched stage, the space shuttle can speed up to 17,320 mph or beyond 20 Mach. This is world’s fastest plane in the history of human | aerospace |

The five Soldiers, and a sixth Soldier, who will deploy halfway through the nine-month rotation were honored during a Sunday, Nov. 6 ceremony at the flight facility.
The aviation Soldiers will be based at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti. They will join 1,100 New York Army National Guard Soldiers who are already deployed in the region providing security at U.S. facilities.
Five Soldiers will mobilize on Nov. 12 and report to Fort Bliss, Texas for additional training on Nov. 15.
The Soldiers are members of Detachment 5 of C Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 245th Aviation Regiment which provides passenger transport for military and Department of Defense personnel.
The farewell ceremony was held prior to Nov. 12, because it was a drill weekend for his Soldiers, and the 42nd Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, whose members wanted to attend the ceremony, according to Chief Warrant Officer 5, James McCauley, the detachment commander.
Colonel Jason Lefton, the commander of the aviation brigade said the detachment’s Soldiers were well prepared for their mission. He promised the families that the brigade would be there if they needed anything while their Soldiers were deployed.
Sgt. Victoria Kingman, and aviation operations specialist who was promoted during the ceremony, said she was looking forward to the deployment.
“I think I am going to learn a lot over there, especially with the group I am in,” Kingman said.
There are a lot of experienced aviators in the detachment, Kingman explained.
Her job, she said, will be to help the pilots coordinate their missions as they fly people and equipment around the region.
The C-12 Huron is the military version of the Model 200 Super King Air civilian executive aircraft. The plane has a crew of two-the pilot and co-pilot-and can carry seven passengers and cargo at a speed of 330 miles-per-hour.
The New York aviators will deploy alongside four Soldiers from the Kentucky Army National Guard.
They will be flying planes which are already located at Camp Lemonnier. The Latham-based detachment's C-12 aircraft will be relocated to West Virginia while they are deployed.
.The battalion has detachments responsible for ferrying military passengers located at Army National Guard aviation bases across the country.
The New York National Guard C-12 detachment will be the command element for the mission.
The detachment is expected to return to New York in August 2023.
The 1,100 New York National Guard troops already in the region are from the 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry Regiment, the 2nd Squadron, 101st Cavalry Regiment, and the 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment. The unit is operating as Task Force Wolfhound under the leadership of the 69th Infantry Battalion’s commander Lt. Col. Shawn Tabankin.
The New York Army National Guard has also deployed 140 Soldiers to Germany where they are assisting in training the Ukrainian Army. Another 600 Soldiers are on duty in Kuwait.
More Soldiers will be deploying to Kuwait in 2023.
The Latham-based C-12 detachment has deployed four times previously in support of overseas mission.
The unit deployed to Afghanistan in 2009-2010, and to Djibouti in 2013-2014. The unit sent an aircraft and aviators to Columbia in 2016. The detachment also deployed to Kuwait in 2018-2019. | aerospace |

The nine-passenger airplane, which produces no carbon emissions, has been undergoing ground taxi tests since December. It is expected to take a maiden flight this year.
Hyannis, Massachusetts-based Cape Air operates more than 400 regional flights a day to nearly 40 cities in the Northeast, Midwest, Montana and the Caribbean.
Deploying a fleet of all-electric planes “will significantly reduce carbon emissions,” cut maintenance and operational costs and give passengers “a smoother and quieter flight experience,” Cape Air said in a news release.
“Cape Air remains committed to sustainability, growth, and innovation, and our partnership with Eviation allows for these commitments to become a reality,” said Linda Markham, the airline’s president and CEO. “Our customers will be at the forefront of aviation history and our communities will benefit from emission-free travel.”
Alice is designed to fly 500 miles on a single charge and has a top cruising speed of 287 mph. The plane will operate in all environments currently served by piston and turbine aircraft, Eviation says.
“We are proud to support Cape Air, a recognized leader in regional air travel, to chart a new path in delivering innovative solutions that benefit airline operators, passengers, communities and society,” Jessica Pruss, Eviation’s vice president of sales, said in a news release.
The aviation industry’s carbon footprint is cause for concern. It’s responsible for 9% of transportation emissions in the United States and 3% of the nation’s greenhouse gas production, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. All-electric and hybrid aircraft could help reduce environmental impact.
“Truly sustainable aviation not only reduces the impact of air travel on the environment but also makes business sense,” Pruss said.
About half of all scheduled commercial flights are 500 miles or less, according to OAG, an aviation and travel data firm.
“As an early supporter of all-electric air travel, we are dedicated to leading the industry toward a sustainable future,” said Dan Wolf, Cape Air’s board chairman. “Together with Eviation, we are creating the next generation of air travel, in which electric flight will be the industry standard.”
Two electric motors and an 8,200-pound lithium-ion battery are the power source for the plane.
The motors are designed and built by magniX, an Everett-based company. MagniX and Eviation moved to Snohomish County last year and teamed up to design the new plane.
Both companies are subsidiaries of the Clermont Group, a private investment firm based in Singapore.
In August, DHL Express, the global package delivery firm, ordered 12 of the planes. Those models will be configured to carry cargo and have a payload capacity of 2,600 pounds.
Eviation occupies three hangars at Arlington Municipal Airport.
The company employs about 120 but expects to see those numbers rise if it obtains federal regulators’ approval for Alice to enter service. | aerospace |

Top eVTOL producers are striving hard to create a taxi-airplane that allows customers to travel long distances. Though in the nascent stages, they assure that this mode of transport will be affordable to be used on an everyday basis.
One of the companies that have plunged into this ‘Tesla of the sky’ race is Lilium. The German eVTOL is the producer of Lilium Jet, a promising aircraft that can fly 155 miles.
Fund development of Lilium Jet
Munich-based Lilium has just bagged $119 million in funding from existing shareholders, strategic partners, and new investors. The round saw participation from Honeywell (which backed Volocopter), Aciturri, LGT, and its affiliated impact investor Lightrock (which recently closed €860M), Tencent, B. Riley Securities, and certain affiliates. Also, Lilium’s new CEO, Klaus Roewe, and three additional board members, Barry Engle, David Wallerstein, and Niklas Zennström, participated.
Honeywell has worked with Lilium for nearly two years and entered into a partnership in 2021 to create avionics and flight control systems for Lilium’s electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Honeywell’s Anthem flight deck is being considered for integration into the electric air taxi developed by Hyundai’s Supernal.
Lilium intends to use the net proceeds from the offerings to continue to fund its operations, develop the Lilium Jet, and for general corporate purposes, which may include payment of Lilium’s suppliers and working capital uses.
“We are pleased to have such a high-quality group of supporters in a challenging macro environment. These proceeds are expected to strengthen our balance sheet and advance our commercialisation efforts including the signing of customer agreements with pre-delivery payments, reaching an agreement with EASA on our Means of Compliance, and commencing assembly of the type-conforming aircraft for the final manned flight test campaign,” CEO Klaus Roewe said.
Stéphane Fymat, Vice President and General Manager of Urban Air Mobility, Honeywell Aerospace said: “Honeywell and Lilium share a common vision of the importance of electric aviation and the positive impact it will have on air transportation and decarbonisation. We are proud to partner with Lilium as the provider of the avionics systems, flights controls, and electric motors used to guide and power Lilium’s revolutionary electric jet.”
eVTOL with 300km range
Lilium was established in 2015 by Daniel Wiegand, Sebastian Born, Matthias Meiner and Patrick Nathen in Munich. Back in 2019, the company revealed the prototype of its five-seater electric air taxi, which completed its maiden flight over Germany. The Lilium Jet can fly at up to 300 km/h and a range of 300km. Lilium’s 800+ strong team includes approximately 450 aerospace engineers and an experienced leadership team. | aerospace |

I sometimes think: Even though air-travel has become routine in current times - with thousands of planes flying daily - it (probably) doesn't mean that the complexity and risks associated with it have decreased. Drinks, delicious food, warm hospitality and a multitude of entertainment options might make us forget it, but the truth is that we fly tens of thousands of feet above the earth's surface, where outside air and temperature are unsuitable for human survival, roaring and piercing through the sky at nearly the speed of sound.
And so I believe that every flight is a mission. A mission as crucial as a military mission, with safely transporting the set of passengers from destination A to destination B as the objective.
Update (15-May-10 and 1-Jun-10): I watched a few aviation-related videos on YouTube today. The following videos have strengthened my belief that every flight is a mission | aerospace |

In recent years, constellations of satellites are being proposed in large numbers; most of them are expected to be in orbit within the next decade. To give a perspective, while prior to 2021, less than 100 satellites were launched into LEO, this number has quadrupled in the last 5 years and is expected to reach several thousand within the next 10 years.
In the presentation, we took a look at the new breed of small satellites and their technical requirements, discussed trends in the way of developing and producing these satellites on an industrial scale and shared best practices and insights on validating the performance and reliability of them.

The goal of this project is to develop an NCCS Data Management System (DMS) that provides a data grid approach to integrated, next-generation Earth science data services for NASA. A data grid is software that allows for the management, sharing, searching, and distribution of large amounts of distributed data sets. The NASA Earth Science community maintains large quantities of both observation data from satellites and Earth based observing platforms (like ocean buoys) as well as model data generated by NASA climate applications. The DMS will provide a framework for the integrated delivery of Earth observational data and climate simulation data from NASA models, thereby broadening the accessibility and usability of currently available data to the climate science community. In particular, new data sets from Goddard Space Flight Center’s contribution to the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be accessible through the DMS. | aerospace |

"The telescopic camera actually beat its own record that it had set two hours before on the same day with an image of the "Wishing Well" cluster", NASA reports. With these pictures, New Horizons breaks a record of 27 years established by the NASA Voyager 1 probe when it captured the famous Earth photograph, Pale Blue Dot, at 6,0 60 million kilometers. It has the goal of observing "at least two-dozen" more Kuiper Belt objects.
Most of the time, New Horizons is sleeping - hibernating, to save energy.
The U.S. space agency says the spacecraft is now healthy and in hibernation, as the team behind it at Johns Hopkins plan to wake it up on June 4 of this year to prepare for its impending encounter with MU69. But every once in a while, it wakes up, and it snaps a few photos which it then beams back to Earth. The images of the Kuiper Belt objects are the closest images ever of these objects and, now, officially the farthest from Earth.
Image Carl Sagan and the 'Pale Blue Dot'
New Horizons has observed several Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) and dwarf planets at unique phase angles, as well as so-called Centaurs - former KBOs in unstable orbits that cross the orbits of the giant planets on the edge of our solar system.
The New Horizons spacecraft is said to be in good condition and is now hibernating, with mission control planning to awaken it again on June 4 in preparation for a flyby of Kuiper Belt object 2014 MU69 in mid-2019. New Horizons was even farther from home than NASA's Voyager 1 when it captured the famous "Pale Blue Dot" image of Earth, according to the United States space agency. New Horizons is one of only five shuttles which has managed to reach the escape velocity required to exit the solar system. The probe is measuring levels of plasma, dust, and gases as it travels, and will eventually take a look at more than 20 other KBOs. It is now about 41 times as far from Earth as Earth is from the sun. Mission scientists study the images to determine the objects' shapes and surface properties, and to check for moons and rings.
