The problem was first reported shortly before 6.30am EST, with the FAA announcing an outage of its NOTAM system. By 9am, it had been resolved and flights were beginning to take off again after a two-and-a-half-hour ground order.
While the computer issue has been resolved, the hours-long pause sent the day’s flights into chaos that is expected to last throughout the day.
Already, 4,000 flights have been delayed as a result of the outage with some pilots warning the ripple effect from the computer failure would be ‘huge’.

Grounded planes at Washington Reagan airport on Wednesday morning after an FAA systems failure grounded all flights across the country
All flights have been grounded until at least 9am EST which will have a knock-on effect on the 45,000 flights the FAA handles every day
Flights across the country are still landing. The FAA says departures will resume again at 9am
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted that there was ‘no evidence of a cyberattack at this point’.
Planes can still land safely – and many are – but none are allowed to take off domestically for at least another hour.
In pre-market trading, the shares of Delta, American Airlines and United all dipped slightly.
It is the first time all air traffic has been grounded in America since 9/11.
Southwest Airlines Pilots Association Vice President Cpt. Michael Santoro told Fox Business the impact would be ‘huge’.
‘The last time we had all airplanes grounded was, I hate to say it, but back in 9/11.
‘No airplanes move, so that’s what we’re looking at today,’ he said.
In the meantime, thousands of people are stranded at airports across the country. Airport lounges quickly filled up as news of the outage spread, while some passengers were told by their airlines to simply ‘go home’.
Disgruntled travelers have told DailyMail.com they are having to cancel long-standing plans because of the FAA systems failure chaos.

Elspeth Nairn was meant to be heading out of Tampa International Airport this morning to help her sister who lives in Kona, Hawaii and has broken her hip.
‘I’m left with no choice but to cancel everything and rebook for Friday,’ retired Nairn, of Bradenton, Florida, said.
‘My flight was meant to go through Phoenix and that one was also cancelled.
‘So I’m leaving the airport and going home now. I’m rebooking for Friday, because that looks like the earliest I can make it. It’s better to cancel and let this hubbub clear.
‘I’m very disappointed. My sister had fallen and broken her hip and the purpose of my trip is to help her.’
Electrical safety engineer Daryl Leak, waiting for a flight to Dallas and a connection to Denver, Colorado, told DailyMail.com: ‘This is my second delay in five days.
‘If it’s not sorted within the next 20 minutes I’m going to be forced to cancel and go home because I’m not going to make any connection.

What is the FAA Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) system?
Wednesday saw thousands of flights across the US grounded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), due to a failure in the Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) system.
In the world of aviation, NOTAM is an unclassified notice that contains vital information for those concerned with flight operations, while not being delivered far enough in advance to be in the public realm through other means.
A NOTAM is filed with a country’s aviation authority – in the case of the US, the FAA – to alert other pilots of any hazards on their route.
The authority then distributes these notices to relevant pilots.
A NOTAM ‘states the abnormal status of a component of the National Airspace System (NAS) – not the normal status,’ the FAA website explains.
Among the hazards flagged by NOTAM include air shows, parachute jumps, rocket launches, as well as changes in operations such as runway closures or airspace restrictions caused by military exercises.
Criticism has ben leveled at NOTAMs which can go up to 200 pages for long-haul international flights.
In 2017, an Air Canada flight nearly crashed into four other airlines as it attempted to land in San Francisco.
The flight misidentified a taxiway as a runway. Information about the adjacent runway being closed was buried in the NOTAM.
‘But it looks like everything will have to be pushed back. It’s incredibly annoying.’
Leak, from Tampa, said his previous delay eventually saw him driving 650 miles from Raleigh, North Carolina, to his home. ‘I was at Raleigh-Durham airport and they cancelled me at 9pm. The next flight was 4.30pm next day so I drove – nothing else for it.’
As the morning wore on at Tampa International, more and more passengers were being processed through TSA security – but with no flights to board.
It is the latest headache for US air travel after a woeful holiday period which saw the collapse of Southwest Airlines which left thousands of people stranded over Christmas and New Year.
In the first mention of the problem this morning, the FAA said in an alert: ‘The FAA is working to restore its Notice to Air Missions System.
‘We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system now.
‘Operations across the National Airspace System are affected.
‘We will provide frequent updates as we make progress.’
At 7am, the agency said: ‘The FAA is still working to fully restore the Notice to Air Missions system following an outage.
‘While some functions are beginning to come back on line, National Airspace System operations remain limited.’
Shortly before 7.30am, the FAA announced all flights were on hold until 9am.
‘The FAA is still working to fully restore the Notice to Air Missions system following an outage.
‘The FAA has ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. Eastern Time to allow the agency to validate the integrity of flight and safety information.’
NOTAM notices contain information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations, but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means.
Information can go up to 200 pages for long-haul international flights and may include items such as runway closures, general bird hazard warnings, or low-altitude construction obstacles.
The outage comes after federal officials said on Tuesday that they will require charter airlines, air-tour operators and plane manufacturers to develop detailed systems for identifying potential safety problems before accidents occur.
President Biden told reporters the cause of the outage was not yet known but that he had ordered the Department of Transportation to conduct a full investigation

The Federal Aviation Administration said safety-management systems have made travel on large airlines safer since their adoption was required in 2018.
‘Expanding safety management systems to other players in the aviation industry will reduce accidents and incidents and save lives,’ acting FAA Administrator Billy Nolen said in a statement.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates crashes, has pushed for wider adoption of such systems.
In 2020, Congress directed the FAA to require them for aircraft manufacturers after two fatal crashes involving Boeing 737 Max planes.
The FAA said its proposal Tuesday went further by including smaller passenger-carrying operators.
In justifying expanding the requirement to smaller air operators, the FAA cited incidents including a 2015 crash of a float plane near Ketchikan, Alaska, that killed the pilot and all eight passengers.
The NTSB blamed pilot error and the company’s lack of a formal safety program.
The FAA said Tuesday that if its proposed rule had been in effect, the company would have taken steps that might have prevented the accident, including having a manager responsible for assessing safety risk.
The FAA has an explainer on safety-management systems, which have been a growing trend in aviation in recent years. | aerospace |

A small plane has been spotted parked along the Mamquam Forest Service Road in Squamish this week.
Transport Canada, which regulates the safety and security of the civil aviation system in Canada, told The Squamish Chief that it is aware of a privately registered Cessna (C-GAKZ) that made an emergency landing on Aug. 25, 2023.
According to Flightradar24, C-GAKZ is a 54 year old Cessna 172K Skyhawk.
It made a forced landing due to an engine failure, a Transport Canada spokesperson said.
There were no fatalities or injuries reported to the department.
On Thursday, Aug. 31, locals saw the plane lifted and removed by helicopter.

Wilbur and Orville Wright demonstrated the first heavier-than-air powered sustained controlled flight on 17 December 1903.
Alphonse Pénaud was the first to power a model flying machine with a rubber band. In 1870, his helicopter featured two counter-rotating propellers with leaf-like blades, one above and one below the spinning rubber band. In 1878, the Wright brother’s father gave them one and they began to build their own. They called them bats and dreamed of building one big enough to carry them both.
Kites and gliders
Considering a kite sailing in the air, Wilbur figured the tension on the kite string was the sum of its lift and drag— the lift pulling vertically against gravity, the drag horizontally along with the wind— and the angle of the string directly reflected the balance of forces. The brothers measured wind speed using a French, hand-held anemometer. They measured the tension of the kite string using a spring scale tied to the line and measured the angle using a surveyor’s inclinometer. With the tension and the angle, Wilbur calculated the lift and drag of this triangle of forces using elementary trigonometry. This is why at Kitty Hawk they flew their gliders as kites. Instead of risking their lives from the top of a hill, they could calculate lift and drag of their machines in flight and thereby tell whether it performed as they expected— whether it would support a man in flight.
The Wright brothers realized Lilienthal had died in 1896 because he couldn’t control his glider. They studied birds in flight. Soaring birds adjusted roll, pitch, and yaw with graceful shifts of wing and tail. Roll, pitch, and yaw skewed a glider dangerously in flight. One by one, the brothers developed mechanisms and skills to control their path in flight. * When a bird elevates its tail its body tilts up. On their flyer, the Wright brothers placed the elevators two movable horizontal wings in front of the wings. * To roll, birds adjust their wings like the vanes of a windmill. How to do this with a biplane was unclear when the mechanism had to be both simple and light until Wilbur, absent-minded, squeezed opposite corners of a slim inner-tube box and noticed that squeezing one way tilted the right side up and the left side down, while squeezing opposite corners reversed the warping. With a set of cables the brothers could twist the wings of their glider to roll either way to control lateral movements. Warping the wings acted on exactly the same principle as raising and lowering ailerons on opposite fixed wings. * Warping wings to steer into the wind, their glider tended to skid to the side. The wing with the highest angle of attack presented more surface to the wind, which skewed the flyer away from their intended turn, so the brothers replaced the fixed tail with a rudder rigged to turn in the opposite direction of the yaw. * Warping the wings controlled the roll. Moving the elevator controlled the pitch. Turning the rudder controlled the yaw.
Their 1901 glider did not produce the lift the brothers thought it should during their tests at Kitty Hawk, so they began to doubt Otto Lilienthal’s lift and drag data. * To separate lift from drag George Spratt had suggested a simple apparatus. The brothers attached a horizontal wheel at the front of a bicycle and on this wheel they mounted a curved plane, a miniature wing, and ninety degrees from the wing they mounted a flat plane. They set the wing at the angle of incidence indicated by Lilienthal and they set the flat plane perpendicular to direction of movement. Lilienthal’s data showed that lift should equal drag so that the lift of the curved wing should balance the drag from the flat plane, but, peddling to get their wind, drag exceeded lift and the wheel turned instead of balancing in the wind. * To more accurately test Lilienthal’s data, they built a wind tunnel and developed testing techniques. They invented a balance to accurately determine the lift and drag of their miniature wings. With the wind tunnel they discovered that Lilienthal’s data was nearly correct but John Smeaton’s coefficient of air pressure, which Lilienthal used to calculate lift, was way off. * The camber of Lilienthal’s wing was the section of a circle. Using their wind tunnel, the Wrights found a parabolic section provided better lift.
The Wright brothers called their flying machine a flyer and they called its wings aeroplanes, the word being derived from ancient Greek meaning “wandering in the air,” so we now name the airplane after its wings.
Since nothing on a flyer stood still it was difficult to imagine how to make a propeller. “It was apparent,” the brothers realized, “that a propeller was simply an aeroplane traveling in a spiral course.” after hatchet and hacksaw they made a propeller whose cross section was curved like a wing.
An engine for the Wright flyer had to be both powerful and light. They were not able to buy an engine that weighed 180 pounds or less and delivered at least 8 horsepower, so, with Charlie Taylor, they made their own, a four-cylinder water-cooled engine with an aluminum crankcase that produced 12 horsepower.
The Wright brothers knew a bicycle without a skilled rider and a means to steer was laterally unstable. No rider, no pilot can walk, let alone run, without temporarily tilting his or her body out of balance. No reason to suppose a flying machine would differ except in having more dimensions of instability.
Commercial airlines take the magic out of flight. Too fast, too high, too protected from the wind. A good thing to serve the needs of a corporation. But I’ll make a kite; I’ll find plans for a glider and make my own. If I work hard, maybe I’ll discover the incantation and there’ll be no seat belt or air bag on my magic carpet.
Dreams of flying
indicate overreaching trying something risky something trying to strain the shackles expand the boundaries and the possibility of failure. One seldom fails in dreams though often for real and must continue to dream. | aerospace |

NOEL KING, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Noel King. Passengers aboard an easyJet flight from Manchester, England, to Spain were going nowhere. A captain wasn't there. The plane was stuck on the tarmac. But one passenger was himself an easyJet pilot on vacation with his family. He called easyJet and said, I've got my license. I'd very much like to go on holiday. It took less than a minute for them to sign off, and the heroic vacationing captain flew the plane to Spain. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR. | aerospace |

In his book, Change by Design, Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, describes design thinking as a method for putting the needs of people at the heart of human progress by focusing on the desirability of a solution as the key driver rather than simply feasibility and viability.
This approach was central to one student team’s response to an open call from NASA for solutions for better managing astronauts’ bodily fluids in space. The goal was to design a collector to be located inside a spacesuit that hampered the astronauts as little as possible. NASA recognized the interdisciplinary team of Ryerson engineering students for their innovative and human-centric design solution.
The team’s winning engineering solution beat out other international teams with a human-centred design optimized for a harsh zero-gravity environment.
The team included biomedical, industrial and mechanical undergraduate engineering students Cayley Delisle, Jennifer Eshoua, Caleb McNevin, Noor Shehata, Arianna Soave and Christopher Welsford. They placed in the top tier of 10,000 international teams. | aerospace |

This procurement, along with the approval of three additional Scorpene submarines, aims to strengthen India’s defense capabilities and ensure the nation’s maritime security.
The DAC, headed by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, has sanctioned the purchase of the advanced Rafale Marine aircraft to equip the Indian Navy with state-of-the-art technology. This acquisition will include not only the aircraft themselves but also the necessary associated ancillary equipment, weapons, simulators, spares, documentation, crew training, and logistic support.
To negotiate the price and other terms of purchase, discussions will be held with the French Government, taking into consideration the procurement prices of similar aircraft by other nations. The contract will incorporate the integration of Indian-designed equipment, thereby fostering indigenous manufacturing capabilities. Furthermore, a Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO) Hub will be established to provide comprehensive support for various systems.
Simultaneously, the DAC has also given the go-ahead for the procurement of three additional Scorpene submarines under the Buy (Indian) category. These submarines will be constructed by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), further boosting India’s domestic defense manufacturing sector. With higher indigenous content, these submarines will not only enhance the operational readiness of the Indian Navy but also generate employment opportunities and bolster MDL’s expertise in submarine construction.
The DAC’s decision aligns with the government’s vision to promote self-reliance in critical manufacturing technologies and life-cycle sustenance of defense platforms. The council has laid down guidelines to ensure desired indigenous content in all categories of capital acquisition cases, thereby strengthening India’s defense industry and reducing dependence on foreign suppliers.
The procurement of the Rafale Marine aircraft and additional Scorpene submarines demonstrates India’s commitment to modernising its armed forces and protecting its maritime interests. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ongoing visit to France is expected to solidify the ties between the two nations and witness the signing of several defense deals, amounting to around ₹90,000 crores. These agreements will further augment India’s defense capabilities, paving the way for a stronger and more secure future.
The Rafale Marine aircraft, a naval variant of the renowned Rafale fighter jet, is specifically designed to operate from aircraft carriers. It boasts advanced features such as multi-role capabilities, enhanced avionics, and state-of-the-art weapons systems, making it a formidable asset for maritime operations. The addition of 26 Rafale Marine aircraft to the Indian Navy’s fleet will significantly enhance its airpower projection and provide a strategic edge in safeguarding India’s maritime interests.
On the other hand, the Scorpene submarines are a class of diesel-electric submarines designed for stealth, endurance, and versatility. These submarines, being constructed by Mazagon Dock Shipbuilders Limited (MDL), are part of a joint venture between India’s Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the French company Naval Group. With a higher indigenous content, the Scorpene submarines will not only bolster the Indian Navy’s underwater capabilities but also contribute to the growth of India’s indigenous defense manufacturing industry. Their advanced technologies and operational capabilities will strengthen India’s maritime defense and secure its coastal waters. | aerospace |

Meteorologists on television get paid $100 grand per year and they don’t even have to be right! However, combat meteorology is far different.
Accurate weather observations in hostile, unknown enemy territory are critical to mission strategy and success and the United States military has the world’s best combat meteorologists: the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Weather Team!
SOWT (sow-tee) are an elite unit who gather, assess and interpret environmental & terrain data and forecast the operational impacts.
These Air Commando Weathermen undergo 8-months of grueling training and only a few make the final cut.
From new recruit to SOWT:
Basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas. 30 weeks Air Force Weather Course at Keesler AFB in Missouri. Jump training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Survival school & hand-to-hand combat at Fairchild AFB, Washington. The intense Journeyman Apprentice Course at Pope Field, NC, then you’re finally assigned to a Squadron.
Look out for the pewter grey berets and SOWT beret flash. Military lives often depend on knowing the weather.

New Navy contract aims to equip hundreds of ships with drones
Wed January 6, 2016
Drones have become critical to the military’s effort to combat terrorist activity globally
The new seaborne drone system would combine vertical takeoff and landing with the ability to fly long distances
Washington (CNN)The Pentagon is hoping a multimillion-dollar investment in new technology will enable drones on hundreds of Navy ships to provide air support to operations around the globe.
The goal of the “launch and recovery” system, as it has been dubbed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, is to provide airborne surveillance and drone strikes from the decks of “forward-deployed small ships” without having to deploy aircraft carriers or large, fixed land bases.
The $93.1 million contract was awarded to defense contractor Northrop Grumman on December 24 as part of DARPA’s Tactically Exploited Reconnaissance Node program, which aims to enable drones to operate from smaller ships, according to a Pentagon press release. | aerospace |

GPS Block IIf and GPS III satellites are specified to light up the Earth out to 5 degrees from edge of earth (EoE). That is 95 degrees from vertical. The GPS satellites are in a 12 hour orbit, which is GEO radius (42164 km) times (12/24)2/3 or 26562 km. If α is the angle off nadir (the line between the satellite and the center of the Earth) then by the law of sines sin(α)/26562 = sin(95°)/6371, so α = 15.4°.
This Lockheed document specifies the SSV (space service volume) out to 23° for the L1 channel and 26° for the L2 and L5 channels. More to learn, but by phase-comparing the signals from antennas on the sides of a cubesat sized satellite, it should be possible to estimate angular orientation to the strongest GPS satellites; crude orientation from the direction to the strongest average signal (for detumbling), and precision orientation to the strongest available satellite with more sophisticated CDMA signal selection for specific satellites. As a backup, some phototransistors can also help with detumbling. | aerospace |

Hell, it seems like every time an air show takes place, we see footage of a plane crashing and a pilot safely parachuting away from the about-to-crash plane.
e seemed to belly flop on the runway pretty violently, causing the landing gear to collapse, the nose of the plane to fold under and a fire to break out.
When the flames reached the cockpit, the pilot decided it was time to bounce. Yes, he ejected while already on the ground!

Two-day Scottsburg Airport event begins Saturday with annual Fly-In|
|Written by Marty Randall|
|Tuesday, 17 September 2013 14:05|
Pilots of all sorts of small aircraft will be buzzing around Scottsburg Airport this coming weekend as the annual Ultralight Fly-In will be held on Saturday, September 21, followed by a remote-controlled gathering on Sunday, September 22.
Both days are scheduled, weather permitting. Poor weather will cancel the weekend. Admission is free, and there’ll be plenty of parking available.
The airport has a grass runway and is located south of Scottsburg Lake on South Lake Road. Signs will indicate free parking areas. Everyone is welcome to come out for the event. Bring lawn chairs for comfortable viewing and wear good walking shoes.
Saturday is being sponsored by the airport and the Scottsburg Aero Club.
Aero Club members will host the breakfast that will begin at 8 a.m. Later on, they will serve lunch to hungry visitors.
At 9 a.m., many of the gathered pilots will take to the air and fly around Scottsburg. Throughout the day, visitors are welcome to approach pilots and talk to them and look at parked aircraft.
“This is a great day for beginning flyers and those interested in learning to fly. You can pick up all sorts of information and see experimental aircraft and home-built models as well as our ultralights,” advised airport owner/operator Larry Beckley.
Anyone wanting more information about the fly-in can call Beckley at 1-502-807-7537.
On Sunday, remote-controlled aircraft will take oer the airport. This event is scheduled from 8 a.m. until, as coordinator Luke Akemon noted, “...we get tired of flying and go home!” Again, admission is free as is parking.
RC craft comes in many shapes and sizes. Akemon, who serves as District 6 associate vice president for the Academy of Model Aeronautics, advised that people will see “...model airplanes the size of your hand up to a ten-foot wingspan and miniature helicopters through six-foot models.”
The organization will also feature multi-rotors, which some people call drones but which Akemon explained are really known as “quads” or “hexes” depending on the number of blades they have.
“We will have some mouted with cameras and visitors can look at real-time footage via a TV screen we’ll have set up. We’ll also have video goggles for people to try. They give you an idea of what it is like to actually be in the craft as it’s flying,” he related.
Anyone who likes remote-controlled aircraft will enjoy talking to pilots and looking at their aircraft.
A swap area is also being planned so everyone can shop for bargains. More information on the RC Sunday can be obtained by calling Luke Akemon at 1-812-595-9114 or by finding him on Facebook.
“We’re hoping a good crowd comes out and learns more about RC as a sport and hobby,” stated Akemon.

The Raytheon FIM-92 Stinger is a personal portable infra-red guided surface-to-air missile designed to take down low flying aircraft. The Stinger is fired from the shoulder with a launch tube and is therefore classified as a Man-Portable Air-Defence System (MANPADS). Distinctive features are its small size, low weight and easy operation. Once the missile is launched it's self guiding with a passive infra-red guidance system, meaning that it does not emit signals to detect a heat source. The missile has a range of approximately 6 km and can reach an altitude of approximately 3 km.
The Stinger was developed by General Dynamics from the FIM-43 Redeye II in the 1970s. It's now produced by Raytheon Missile Systems and, under license, by EADS in Germany and over 70.000 missiles have been produced.
The Stinger missile entered into service in the United States in 1981 and made its combat debut during the Falklands War in 1982. During this conflict an Argentine IA 58 Pucará ground attack aircraft and an SA 330 Puma helicopter were shot down with the Stinger by the British Special Air Service (SAS). From then on, it has been and still is been a very succesfull and versatile weapon system and has been or is operated by over 30 nations worldwide. Since 1982, the Stinger is being used by the Commando Air Artillery, a Royal Netherlands Army ground-to-air unit stationed at De Peel Air Base.
Fennek Stinger Weapon Platform
The Royal Netherlands Army uses 18 Stinger Launching Systems, developed by ASELSAN in Turkey, that are mounted on Fennek ground vehicles. The Fennek Stinger Weapon Platform has a fully integrated launch system with four Stinger missiles ready to fire from two launchers. The system is operated from inside the vehicle and two missiles can be activated at the same time and fired successively in a very short timespan. The weapon terminal shows target-information using data from external radar instalations. | aerospace |

In Proceedings of the International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Automation in Space, (iSAIRAS-2014), 17.6.-19.6.2014, Montreal, Québec, o.A., Jun/2014.
The increasing diffculty of space exploration missions, human support and maintenance of infrastructure push the expectations for future robotic systems. Complex software systems are required to autonomously perform mobile manipulation and interaction tasks in a robust fashion. Component based software development and software frameworks provide a way for effcient implementation. This paper introduces the Rock framework, which uses a model driven approach to handle the complexity of component networks which can reconfigure at run-time. The Artemis Rover, which participated at the SpaceBot Cup competition is used as an example where the Rock framework has been successfully applied to a mobile manipulation system. | aerospace |

Veterans who served boots-on-the-ground in Vietnam during the Vietnam War are presumed to have been exposed to the toxic herbicide Agent Orange. During the war, C-123 aircraft sprayed Agent Orange over vast areas of forest in Vietnam during Operation Ranch Hand.
These planes were later sent back to the United States and were used by the Air Force and Air Force reserves. Service members who worked on C-123s may have been exposed to Agent Orange without having step foot in Vietnam.
After hearing complaints of health concerns from Air Force reservists who crewed C-123 aircraft, the VA asked the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study possible exposures and adverse health effects in those who worked and crewed C-123 aircraft.
The report, Post-Vietnam Dioxin Exposure in Agent Orange-Contaminated C-123 Aircraft was released in January 2015. According to the VA’s website, the report found that “approximately 1,500 to 2,100 Air Force Reserve personnel trained and worked on C-123 aircraft that had previously been used to spray herbicides, including Agent Orange, in Vietnam.”
The report found that those Reservists who had regular contact with the aircraft could have been exposed to chemicals from herbicide residue, and that their exposure could result in adverse health effects. Reservists may have been exposed to TCDD, a toxic byproduct of the production of Agent Orange, through hand-to-mouth transfer, inhalation, or ingestion by contaminated food or water.
The Presumptive Rule
Based on the findings of this report, the VA added those exposed to Agent Orange through contact with C-123 aircraft to their herbicide presumptive regulation. The regulation now includes “individuals who performed service in the Air Force or Air Force Reserves who regularly operated, maintained, or served onboard C-123 aircraft known to have been used to spray herbicides during the Vietnam era.”
The VA website notes that the following individuals may qualify for Agent Orange exposure-related benefits:
- Active duty personnel who served in a regular United States Air Force unit location where a contaminated C-123 was assigned who had regular contact with the aircraft through flight, ground, or medical duties between 1969 and 1986, and who developed Agent Orange related disabilities.
- Reservists who were assigned to flight, ground, or medical crew duties at the below locations between 1969 and 1986, and who developed Agent Orange related disabilities:
- Lockbourne/Rickenbacker Air Force Base in Ohio (906th and 907th Tactical Air Groups or 355th and 356th Tactical Airlift Squadron)
- Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts (731st Tactical Air Squadron and 74th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron)
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, International Airport (758th Airlift Squadron)
Agent Orange Related Diseases
Reservist and Air Force service members are eligible for benefits for Agent Orange related disabilities. Agent Orange related diseases include:
- AL Amyloidosis
- Chronic B-Cell Leukemias
- Chloracne, or similar acneform disease
- Diabetes Mellitus Type II
- Hodgkin’s Disease
- Ischemic Heart Disease
- Multiple Myeloma
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Early-onset peripheral neuropathy
- Porphyria cutanea tarda
- Prostate Cancer
- Respiratory Cancers, including cancer of the lungs, trachea, bronchus, and larynx,
- Soft Tissue Sarcomas

One of the very few organizations that can offer high-demand training with a guaranteed retirement. I thoroughly enjoyed all my assignment opportunities in the Air Force. I was fortunate to receive a lot of very exclusive and expensive education, as well as unique assignments. This helped me further advance my life after I retired from the Air Force.
Interesting and challenging work.
Reassignments to different locations.
The Air Force gave myself a sense of directions, goals, achievements and the opportunities for anything you desire to accomplish. Everything is there for you...go for it..reach your GOALS...The Air Force does the rest for you....Places to travel, live and work with and on multi-million dollar Air Force Inventory (Equipment) A very very good Branch of Service to serve and or make a career or life experience.
College tuition assistance, no tax, Chow Hall, Base Exchange, AFB's are a city, within a city.
Typical day in the Air Force depends on your AFSC, if you work maintenance ( Aircraft) you know that you will either be supporting the jets flying or you are going to reconfigure for the next days flying schedule. Hardest part of the job is dealing with outside forces and doing maintenance with low man power. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with a diverse group of people from all walks of life.
Rate your recent company
Share your experience to help others
As enlisted, the job satisfaction is often out of your control. This is especially true for aircraft maintenance. This has been worsened by the relatively new EPR system, and being outstanding at your job doesn't necessarily translate to promotion. The benefits (GI bill in particular) allow you to complete your obligation and make the best of your particular skillset.
Be a soldier is Very fulfilling, an gives you great sense of purpose, job security, and self-worth. I wouldn’t change the experience I had in the US Air Force for anything in the world!
The mission is pretty great and gives a real sense of fulfillment. The culture is what kills it. It's become very management out for themselves instead of feeling like a family like it used too. Promoting each other became a thing of the past for a "me first" environment.
Fantastic place to work, everyone is friendly and seems to know their job well. A little down side is there are a lot of small changes(nothing affects your workload) and a bit of red tape too. Overall I would thoroughly recommend working here and the benefits are excellent.
I was in maintenance so the typical day was fast-passed with long hours. They give you all the necessary training you need to do your job for the most part. With the way annual performance reports were set up, it was a very competitive environment as far as receiving positive promotion statements goes.

In 2012, the center improved its test capabilities by adding more than $13 million in new and modified facilities. These include a new Climatic Multi-Chamber Test Facility, an aviation parts storage facility, an aircraft parking area, a reconstruction of the Tactical Test Facility, entry control point facility, a transient test facility and an aircraft towpath just to name a few.
Additionally, the center worked with the Garrison Department of Public Works by inspecting more than 300 RTC-managed facilities and participated in two Garrison Area Development Plans and three Military Construction Projects. The center also worked with the Naval Construction Battalion Two-Four to provide valuable training opportunities on more than a dozen projects which in return provided $150,000 of services to sustain RTC facilities.
The five subordinate directorates of RTC continued to provide outstanding support to the war fighter in 2012.
The Aviation Flight Test Directorate continued to ensure safety and reliability for the Army’s aircraft inventory. AFTD provided more than 350,000 maintenance man-hours in support of approximately 2,000 test events that included in excess of 5,500 aircraft flight hours with 200 highly trained and experienced personnel.
The Flight Test Control Center, which supports the tracking of two separate and simultaneous flight tests, was completed in April 2012 and represents the final major project to be completed as part of the BRAC relocation from Fort Rucker. AFTD also designed and developed a highly automated and mobile Field Equivalent Bar Target and successfully tested the most recent version of the Common Missile Warning System aircraft survivability equipment.
The Systems Engineering Directorate continued to establishing their role as “force multipliers” for the RTC test mission. A number of highly qualified systems engineers provided horizontal coordination and integration for more than 473 test projects including leading Integrated Project Teams for critical programs such as Aviation Survivability Equipment and Force Protection Systems. SED also provided program support and technical expertise for more than 50 test customers.
The Environmental & Component Test Directorate, responsible for developing and conducting environmental testing on weapon systems, completed two new facilities — the Tactical Test Facility and the new Multi-Chamber Facility. ECTD supported multiple tests which included the Orbus 1A motor qualification test, Shadow Unmanned Aerial System E3 Qualification Test and participated in the Coalition Attack Guidance Experiment II Coalition-Level Test Experiment.
The Missiles & Sensors Test Directorate continued to be the source of the many “booms” on Redstone Arsenal. The Propulsion Test Division coordinated with the Air Force Research Lab to conduct static firing tests of four ATACMS rocket motors. This test required coordination between several teams, including the RTC Propulsion Division static firing crew, RTC Missions Operations and Control Center, the AFRL sensor engineers, the AFRL satellite engineers, and AFRL headquarters. According to AFRL, this test series was “a rare confluence of events (i.e. weather, rocket, satellite) unique observations that have never been done before in military history, and potentially ground breaking for national defense and missile warning.”
Although the center’s mission is testing, 2012 was a great year for community support and employee wellness. In August, employees across the center enjoyed RTC’s third annual Safety & Wellness Day. Employees participated in a wide range of sports activities while visiting exhibitor booths emphasizing healthy eating, exercise and safety. As the holidays approached, staff members showed support for RTC’s first Alabama/Auburn Can-a-thon by donating about 1,524 pounds of canned goods to the Food Bank of North Alabama and pet food and supplies to the Ark Inc. The center also supported the Salvation Army Angel Tree by selling T-shirts with proceeds going to support a local child.
Even in this tough economic climate, the future continues to look bright for Redstone Test Center but changes are imminent. The center, along with the Army Test and Evaluation Command, will both undergo changes in leadership in the coming year. Col. Steve Kihara, the first commander of Redstone Test Center, will retire after 29 years of service, His successor will undoubtedly take this world-class test center to the next level.

Russia responded by declaring that Venus is a "Russian planet." The U.S. continues to reject Sino-Russian efforts to strengthen the Outer Space Treaty 1967, to prohibit the weaponization of space. Doing so would interfere with U.S. plans for "full spectrum dominance."
MOON LANDING 2.0
Last week on 22 September, the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) signed a memorandum with the Department of Defense (DOD). The signers were NASA's administrator, Jim Bridenstine, and the U.S. Space Force Chief of Operations General, John Raymond.
The signing of the memo took place in the broader context of NASA's Artemis program. In December 2017, Donald Trump signed the Presidential Memorandum on Reinvigorating America's Human Space Exploration Program. It was an update of Obama's space policy, adding that the U.S. will: "Lead an innovative and sustainable program of exploration with commercial and international partners to enable human expansion across the solar system and to bring back to Earth new knowledge and opportunities." | aerospace |

In 1960, an American mathematical physicist Freeman Dyson, first proposed, that there could be a possible structure, developed by an advanced alien civilization, that completely encompasses a star,
and captures a large percentage of its solar power output.
Dyson further proposed, that this could be a potential signal, for the existence of alien life too. So, did we ever spot a Dyson Sphere?

Airlines were told to halve their flight schedules on Friday due to the traffic controllers walking out across the country, disrupting hundreds of thousands of passengers.
This is because the air traffic controllers were needed to guide planes flying overhead.
Flights to Spain, Italy and other nations were among those affected, as well as direct flights in and out of France.
Three more days of strike action have now been announced by the air traffic controllers, which will affect flights again next week.
The next round of walkouts will be held on September 28, 29 and 30.
Frédéric Solano, managing director, from French aviation authority DGAC, has said discussions are ongoing as they try and avoid further disruption.
The French Syndicat National des Contrôleurs du Trafic Aérien (SNCTA) union has called the strikes due to pay and working conditions.
Ahead of last week’s strike, Ryanair called on the EU to intervene, with 80,000 of their passengers affected by the cancellations last week.
A spokesperson said: “It is inexplicable that flights which overfly France are disrupted by French ATC strikes yet domestic French flights are protected by minimum service laws.
“The European Union must step in and protect overflights so that passengers who are travelling between Spain, Italy, Ireland, Germany, etc. are not disrupted just because they fly over France while French ATC unions strike.”
EasyJet urged passengers to check the status of their flights online before travelling.
A spokesperson said: “Due to national air traffic control strike action in France affecting all French airports and airspace, airlines operating to and from French airports have been requested by the French authorities DGAC to make some cancellations.
“As a result we expect some disruption to our French flying programme as well as on routes that operate via French airspace.”
More airlines are scrapping flights this winter, with thousands of passengers to be affected.
This couple got to have a whole plane to themselves after their original flight had been cancelled. | aerospace |

She informed us about a lot of interesting ideas on motion and forces and Newton's Laws of Motion. Rockets were made and launched using compressed air.
What is a Rocket?
The word "rocket" can mean different things. Most people think of a tall, thin, round vehicle. Rockets enable us to launch into space satellites for weather forecasting, testing equipment to show the health of our oceans, surveillance and communication.
Why Does a Rocket Work?
In space, an engine has nothing to push against. So how do rockets move there? Rockets work by a scientific rule called Newton's third law of motion. English scientist Sir Isaac Newton listed three Laws of Motion.He did this more than 300 years ago.
His third law says that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction".This means that for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard.
The rocket pushes on its exhaust (the Action). The exhaust pushes the rocket the Action and the Reaction to this is that the Rocket moves upward.
When Were Rockets Invented?
The first rockets we know about were used in China in the 1200s. These solid rockets were used for fireworks. Armies also used them in wars. In the next 700 years, people made bigger and better solid rockets. Many of these were used for wars too. In 1961 the Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin was the first the first man in space followed by the United States in 1969 with The Apollo Space Mission. The international Space station now provides a more permanent means of obtaining information from the health of our sun to the discovery of dwarf planets.
How Does NASA Use Rockets?
Early NASA missions used rockets built by the military.The first rockets NASA built to launch astronauts were the Saturn I, the Saturn IB and the Saturn V. These rockets were used for the Apollo missions. The Apollo missions sent men to the moon. A Saturn V also launched the Skylab space station. The space shuttle uses rocket engines.
NASA uses rockets to launch satellites. It also uses rockets to send probes to other worlds. These rockets include the Atlas V, the Delta II, the Pegasus and Taurus. NASA uses smaller "sounding rockets" for scientific research. These rockets go up and come back down. They do not fly into orbit.
This means that for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard. | aerospace |

The third camera flight test resulted in successful recording of downloaded
video. Stereo pairs were derived from the video.
The flight also verified recent airframe repairs and modifications. The wing
in particular was noticeably stiffer as a result of new carbon spar caps.
Date: 2005/12/23 (Fri)
Scale: 41 %
Mass: 353 g
The airplane was under manual control. Video was recorded from a small
on-board wireless camera.
The total flight time was 715 s (11.9 min). A postflight discharge test on
12/29 measured 361 mAh of charge remaining, which is 40 % of rated capacity of
900 mAh. The tested discharge current was 1.6 A.
The 40 % charge remaining implies we used 60 % for the flight, and the
projected maximum endurance was 1190 s (19.8 min).
This was the first flight after modifications and repairs from a previous
crash. Modifications consisted of unidirectional carbon spar caps that were
added to the wing in order to form a sandwich structure with a foam core. Wing
flexing, which had been visible in previous flights, was not noticeable on
this flight. Note that spar caps had already been added to the 55 % and 100 %
Shown below are stereo pairs that were manually extracted from the downloaded
video. Note that right/left images are reversed -- that is, the image for the
left eye is on the right, and vice versa.
Stereo was derived from one camera rather than two. The side-looking camera was
used to generate stereo pairs by pairing frames recorded at different times.
The baseline (that is, distance between viewpoints) is determined mainly by the
product of velocity and time difference between frames.
Although we are not measuring velocity at present, the plan is to use doppler
velocity derived from GPS data.

Sigma Components has secured a project worth over £ 280,000 supported by £140,000 of funding from the National Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme (NATEP) to develop lightweight pipe end fittings.
The project, in partnership with 3T RPD, will see the team redesigning a selection of traditional end fittings to minimise both weight and cost by using additive layer manufacturing
Mike Andreae, Director of Technology and Improvement at Sigma Components, said: “We’re delighted to have secured funding for the project and to be working with such well-respected partners in the industry.
“The UK has long been at the cutting edge of developments in the aerospace sector and this funding will help us explore the potential presented by new technologies, such as additive layer manufacturing, to improve component design and performance.
“In a global industry, you have to continuously invest to remain ahead of the competition.
“COMPipe, our recent CleanSky-funded project to develop composite pipes for aero-applications, is already delivering exciting results and we’re confident this programme will be equally successful.”
The project will run for 12 months with the partners working together to redesign the end fittings and producing additive-manufactured samples in approved materials. They will also develop an associated quality control process and validate the design/manufacturing processes through analysis and rig testing.
NATEP is managed by ADS, the national organisation for the Aerospace, Defence & Security sectors and delivered by the Regional Aerospace Alliances. Funded by the Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative, NATEP is a £40m programme that supports the development of new innovative technologies in the aerospace supply chain. | aerospace |

Information about the ISWAT initiative is available at: https://iswat-cospar.org/. This meeting also comes inside the current launch window of the Solar Orbiter spacecraft from nearby Cape Canaveral.
ISWAT consists of Teams that focus on a variety of key problems and topics in space weather research and forecasting. The Teams are organised into Clusters (by domain, phenomena, impact, or overarching activities), to facilitate collaboration and ensure complementarity. On the website you can register a new Team (and in the near future, request to join existing teams). Team registration is open to all established and newly-formed teams focused on different aspects of space weather.
The COSPAR ISWAT initiative is built upon its precursor – the International Forum on Space Weather Capabilities Assessment (https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/assessment/) initiated during the 2017 International CCMC – LWS Working Meeting: “Assessing Space Weather Understanding and Applications” (https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov/CCMC-LWS_Meeting/). The progress of Forum working teams is highlighted in the AGU Space Weather Journal special issue: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1002/(ISSN)1542-7390.SW_CASS. Active Forum Teams are anticipated to register into ISWAT and to participate in the February 2020 ISWAT Meeting. Success of the working meeting and the ISWAT initiative depends on active involvement of team leads, cluster moderators, and participants in meeting preparation and all follow-on activities.
The 10-14 February 2020 ISWAT meeting will:
- Allow Teams and Clusters to meet to establish their respective goals and plans;
- Consolidate existing Teams, foster new Teams, and form a platform for the overarching activities and for the Teams to work together within and across Clusters;
- Facilitate establishment of multi-disciplinary space weather community by bringing together experts in space weather phenomena and space environment impacts, model and application developers, data providers and forecasters.
- Allow us to understand the needs of the user communities and space weather impacts, and to set targets for scientists and Teams to address;
- Allow us to understand and assess constituent data and models;
- Expand on-going community-wide research projects and jump-start new campaigns;
- Set the stage for ISWAT’s future, understand how Teams and Clusters must interact in order to achieve long-term objectives; and
- Develop approach to updating the COSPAR global space weather roadmap into a living document.
Registration information will be posted on the website by early October 2019 at the latest, followed by a preliminary schedule by the end of October 2019. We envisage around 100-150 participants and have 10 breakout rooms available at the venue. Everyone is welcome to join ISWAT and to attend the meeting – and to come to the meeting with a view to joining one or more existing Teams if you haven’t already done so in advance. | aerospace |

A 9 meter rocket and fairing/payload bay opens up a dramatic news set of space exploration and utilization possibilities. This exploration uses SpaceX's Starship systems as the baseline technology as it is by far the most advanced in development and testing.
In the rendering to the right we see a SpaceX generated image of used for the NASA Lunar Human Landing System (HLS) competition. It uses the bottom 2/3 of a standard Starship but then customized the top 1/3 for HLS operations. It uses 3 vacRaptors since it is not intended to return to Earth surface. This sort of specialized payload area and engine set is key to using the Starship "space frame" for many missions and applications.
Beyond this, "One-Way" Starships that won't return to the Earth surface can have the huge tankage (the bottom 2/3), which is engineered for high pressure, converted to air pressurized work, living or recreational space one it reaches it's destination.

Can stay by itself in LEO for up to 10 days ... 6 months connected to a larger ship that supplies air ... power. Estimated price of $120M per round trip.
The IDSS docking mechanism is androgynous, uses low impact technology and allows both docking and berthing. It supports both autonomous and piloted docking and features pyrotechnics for contingency undocking. ref: Wikipedia
The critical systems are the atmosphere control system, the water supply system, the food supply facilities, the sanitation and hygiene equipment, and fire detection and suppression equipment. ref: Wikipedia
This facility is the world's largest space environment simulation chamber (100 ft in diameter by 122 ft in height) and is used to ground-test large space-bound hardware. It can simulate the severe conditions of space such as vacuum, low temperatures, and unfiltered sunlight.
SpaceX's Cargo Starship is 9m diameter, stainless steel, Liquid Methane and LOX fueled, orbitally refuel-able, fully reusable rocket system that can carry 100+ tons of any payload type to LEO, and with refueling, the Moon, Mars and beyond. It is expected to start commercial operation in late 2021, cost less than $100M for a ship, and less that $10M per trip to operate to LEO, and return for reuse. Note, image is an old render by SpaceX
SpaceX is planning 3 types of engines. All are throttle-able (between a min and max thrust) and highly re-usable. The first is a Raptor engine that can be gimbled for direction of thrust control. This is needed for soft landing back on Earth. The second is a fixed Raptor engine. The final type is a VacRaptor engine that is designed to be optimal in the vacuum of space. Note, photo by SpaceX
Many concepts here center on modifying the top 1/3 of a "stock" or "standard" Crew Starship (the area above the fuel tanks) into mission specific designs. Crew Starships are expected to be human rated for crews of up to 100. Possible testing in 2023 and operations in 2025. Note, image is an old render by SpaceX

Starship is a two stage system, like Falcon 9, but much larger with a fully reusable upper stage option. It's huge 9m wide rocket body and tanks are built out of very low cost thin Stainless Steel and it fueled by very low cost super-cooled cryogenic liquid Methane and LOX. The first (or lower) stage has between 20 and 30 Raptor engines that lift the upper stage to 2.5 km/s and 50 km before coming back to the launch pad area (much like F9 does in a Return To Launch Site recovery). WidgetBlender assumes a build cost of $200M and an operational cost of $10M per launch. The Super Heavy Booster needs to have at least 10 times reuse to make the system much lower cost than Falcon Heavy ... WidgetBlender won't suggest any changes, combinations or additional uses for the Super Heavy Booster (and thus it's not a widget).
In space it's not the distance, its the change in velocity that your fuel/engine combination can create that matters most to what you can deliver to a place.
For LEO and beyond operations GEO, Moon, Mars ... the SpaceX Super Heavy Booster is needed to put a Starship and 100 tons of payload into LEO. It is assumed that the Super Heavy Booster is a $200M machine that will be reused maybe 100 times. Cost per mission is thus assumed to be $10M with operations, fuel and maintenance.
SpaceX official efforts:
A Cargo Starship is a re-usable ship that can return to Earth surface, and be re-used 10s or 100s of times. It is the SpaceX reference design. WidgetBlender assumes it's to cost to build is $100M, but may perform 10s or perhaps 100 missions ... bringing mission cost down to perhaps $10M with operations, fuel and maintenance.
Design types used for concept exploration at this site do not have a return to Earth capability, thusnthey are somewhat less expensive than a Cargo Starship since they do not have TPS, fins, header tanks and only 3 VacRaptor engines (vs 7 Raptors). All of these types are assumed to have a $50M build and launch cost.
This is in active development and testing at SpaceX's facilities in Texas.
Crew Starship adds life support and other forms of human support to a sealed pressure vessel in the cargo bay of a Starship, as well as hatches for crew and cargo loading and unloading. Any long term Crew Starship including the Mars Crew Starships add to this a large solar array and radiator, larger landing legs, a large airlock and elevator from 35m to the surface.
HLS Starship (shown at top of page) has been proposed to NASA by SpaceX as a ship that can ferry cargo and crew from the Lunar Gateway to the lunar surface and back. It needs to be launched to LEO and refueled there before proceeding to HALO type Lunar Orbit before docking with Lunar Gateway and performing its mission. HLS Starship removes structures from the Cargo Starship needed for Earth re-entry such as fins and TPS, but adds a crew area with life support, a small cargo bay, airlocks, solar power cells, soft lunar landing thrusters, surface insulation and wider landing legs. It is unknown if NASA will pay to proceed with this concept beyond studies and component tech development.
SpaceX potential efforts (Per Elon Musk comments):
Fuel Depot Starship (see image below) is key as nearly all missions beyond LEO and GTO will require orbital refueling.
Earth Point to Point Starship (Sub-Orbital) is the only Starship Concept that does not need a Super Heavy Booster is a Starship Sub-Orbital flight of perhaps 10,000 km from one point on the Earth to another. While some have suggested this is a competitor to "first class" airline flights since these flights are 30 min vs 6 hours ... the lack of airline systems integration suggests that it will serve a space tourism market first. It will be quite a 30 minute ride with a 3g launch, 300 km above Earth views, 10 minutes of weightlessness and a fiery re-entry. Virgin Galactic is charging $250,000 for lesser experience. This Starship carries 50 passengers with layers of safety systems. At $50K - $75K per round trip there will likely be many takers.
Starship Power Notion
The ISS requires between 75 to 90 kilowatts of power ... (enough to power 40 average homes). Since Starship will not be running numerous experiments (but supporting more people) a reference estimate of of average consumption of 50 kW seems reasonable.
Cargo Starship (Including fuel runs)
Although it probably requires less lets use 5 kW as an average consumption, but moving of control surfaces on atmospheric entry will require much more, but maybe for only 10 minutes. The system may need to supply 50 kW at high voltages and amperage during these phases.
Starships will need electrical power to operate. Some Starship operations will need different levels of minimum, average and peak electrical power. In all cases a Telsa battery will be needed in phases of operation where power generation is not possible. It seems that Model S 85 kWh battery packs: 540 kg each, 375 volts are being used. For duration and redundancy all solutions will need at least 1 mT of Tesla battery.
Lithium Batteries (DC Power)
Charged before a mission Lithium Batteries can supply the electricity needed for a short LEO satellite deployment mission and return to Earth surface for re-use.
Cargo use (5 kW) has 34 hours ... plenty for LEO, MEO and GEO operations. So 1 mT total.
Batteries would not last long with a 50 kW Crew demand. So something more is needed.
Methane-Oxygen Generator (AC -> DC Power)
For longer missions a Methane-Oxygen Generator could recharge the batteries.
1 cubic meter of liquid methane (424 kg) expands to create 593 cubic meters of methane gas.
A 100 kW generator uses 1308 cubic ft/hr of gaseous methane = 37 cubic meters per hour + the needed gaseous oxygen. So that generator can create 1600 KWh with 1 cubic meter of liquid methane (424 kg).
With a mixture ratio of 3.55 (O2 to CH4) ... the generator will need 3.55 kg of O2 for every kg of CH4. Thus 1,505 kg of O2 for 424 kg of CH4. Total fuel need is very close to 2 mT for 1600 KWh of power. So for a reference 100 kW needed on average very hour this 2 MT of fuel would provide 80 hours of 100 kW power.
For Cargo levels (5 kW) 1600 hours. Assume 500 kg generator mass. Assume 500 kg radiator mass.
Methane Fuel Cells (DC Power)
A conventional combustion-based power plant typically generates electricity at efficiencies of 33 to 35%, while fuel cell systems can generate electricity at efficiencies up to 60%. This points a Methane Fuel Cell producing nearly twice the power of generator with the same fuel. Thus 1 MT of fuel would provide 80 hours of 100 kW power for Crew levels of use. Assume 250 kg fuel cell mass. Assume 500 kg radiator mass. A 5 day crew mission would thus need about 2 mT of mission mass for power.
For Cargo levels (5 kW) one could use just 0.2 mT of fuel 320 hours (10 days = 240 hours). A small fuel cell and radiator might only add up to 300 kg.
For a 10 day Cargo mission the mass needed for power could be as low as 500 kg.
Solar Arrays (DC Power)
On Crew missions of over a week there will be no substitute (except someday nuclear power) for solar arrays as a Methane generator or power cell will consume too much mission fuel.
Solar array potential power of up to 200–250 W/kg is possible with new designs.
50 kW = 250 kg (light but bulky)
But in most applications Starship is at least part of time in orbit ... so effective power is 1/2. If Mars bound size for lower solar flux at Mars. In both cases multiply by 2.
Thus 50 kW = 500 kg
Assume 500 kg for Starship specific machinery for optimal pointing. Assume 1 mT radiator mass. For a total of 1500 kg for power generation ... buffered by 3 Telsa Model S type powerpacks for a total of 3.5 mT for power.
For LEO, MEO and GEO Cargo use of 2 Tesla Model S powerpacks powered up at the launch pad should work without solar arrays for most Cargo missions (assuming less than a 24 hour mission length). 1 mT total
Cargo Mission to Lunar Orbit (10 day) might use methane fuel cells (500 kg total power mission mass), although a 20 x 10 m conformal Solar Array might prove to be a better use of the mass budget. A 2 Tesla Model S powerpacks will be needed for some phases of operation. 1.5 mT total.
Mars Cargo missions will use probably need a 20 x 20 point-able Solar Array (non-conformant) with radiator. plus 2 Tesla Model S powerpacks for 2-3 mT total.
All Crew missions over 5 days would probably choose a large point-able Solar Array (non-conformant) with radiator. For launch, initial operations, prep for atmospheric entry and landing 3 Tesla Model S powerpacks will probably be needed. 3.5-4.5 mT total.
Unmanned Fuel Depot in LEO ... based on a lighter "One Way" Cargo Starship with 3 VacRaptor engines, no flaps, no TPS, no header tanks and an ejected fairing instead of a cargo bay. Sun shield, solar array, radiator and robot arm added.
The huge size of Starship require a lot of fuel to move from place to place. Missions to the Moon and Mars will require from 50% to 100% refuel in LEO. The best way to accomplish this may be a LEO Fuel Depot (see below) that can be completely refilled with 8 - 10 payload-less Cargo Starship flights ... then the mission ship docks and quickly fills up. Hopefully these fuel missions will be based on a very reusable Cargo Starship that can deliver a load of fuel for $5-10M. This would require at least 10x reuse of a Cargo Starship. Elon Musk has suggested the need for a Fuel Depot as part of the NASA HLS proposal. WidgetBlender imagines it might look like the following. A sun shield minimizes fuel boil-off ... but the depot must be actively pointed nose toward sun to maintain this. Integrated solar panel capture power for operations, including internal gyros and a optional robotic arm that can be use to move cargo between two ships.
Note that if launch rates are high a single Cargo Starship can act as a short term Fuel Depot. Once in orbit with 150 mT of fuel, other Cargo Starships bring to it 150 mT of additional fuel at a time, until the fuel needs of the mission Starship are available. The mission Starship (Crew, Cargo or HLS) is launched, docks with the "short term Fuel Depot" Cargo Starship, transfers all the fuel to itself, then departs for the mission. The Cargo Starship then return to Earth surface.
Sub-Orbital Earth Point-To-Point Tourist Starship (50 passenger capacity)
Just Off-Shore Tourist Starship Launch - Land - Inspect - Service Facility
"Space Tug" Starship does have a cargo bay and remains in space and is refueled in LEO. It can take cargo from a Cargo Starship and then transport it to any other destination in space. From some orbits, if properly fueled it can again return to the LEO depot and repeat the process. Space Tugs are created when a Starship carries a payload that takes up more volume than a Cargo Starship can carry, say a 11 m wide structure for LEO or the Lunar Surface. With the proper nose-cone on a cylindrical payload it can be launched with minimal performance penalty (soft of like Skylab did on a Saturn 5). But without the standard skin and TPS of a Cargo Starship it's can not return to Earth surface ... so it must stay outside Earth's atmosphere. So after it accomplish's it's non-lunar surface "launch mission" (lunar surface missions don't reserve enough fuel to return to LEO for refueling) it can then return to LEO and be refueled in orbit to carry a Cargo Starship conforming payload anywhere in the Solar System. But one more widget is needed to make this work, namely a "8m Pallet".
Space Tug with Lunar Capable Landing Legs at Manned Fuel Depot
8m Pallet (graphic below) is an vehicle that allows a Cargo Starship to drop off a payload (up to 100 tons) in orbit and have connect to the top of a Space Tug Starship. Only 2 meter high it still leaves 15 meters for payload height. It has cold gas thrusters to dock to the top of the Space Tug. The pallet has deploy-able solar arrays for power. At this point the payload could be sent anywhere in the solar system depending on payload mass.
If the mission is the lunar surface, pop out landing legs, a ramp and 4 Super Draco engines to lift the payload off the top of the landed Space Tug and drop it gently down on the lunar surface.
Payload on 8m Pallet (using cold gas thrusters) separating from a Cargo Starship
After drop off by Cargo Starship the 8m Pallet (now with Solar Panels deployed) uses gas thrusters to dock and latch to waiting Space Tug. If bound for the Lunar Surface it will need a DV of nearly 6 km/s.
It takes less DV to get to the surface of Mars than the Moon since you can aerobrake at Mars.
A fully LEO fueled Space Tug can carry a substantial payload to Mars in combination with our 8m Pallet. Unlike the Moon it's the final trip for this Space Tug, but for a $50M hardware investment it may have completed a mission to LEO, multiple missions to the Moon and a final mission to Mars. During that time it may have used over $200M in fuel ... but like an airliner fuel costs eventually dominate vs the cost of the vehicle.
In this case our Space Tug enters the lower Martian atmosphere engines first, using it's remaining fuel to both slow it and cushion it from the heat of atmospheric entry, slowing the vehicle. At the right moment (just before the Space Tug melts) our 8m Pallet disconnects from the Space Tug and ejects parachutes. The Space Tug, now far in the distance, soon begins to melt and tumble and break up ... but the 8m Pallet with the payload is now being slowed by the chutes. A coating of ablative heat shield helps keep the palette bottom from melting. As the chutes near their thermal limits the Super Dracos fire to slow the pallet ... cold gas thrusters fire to balance the load ... eventually bringing it to a soft vertical landing on the surface, with up to 100 tons of supplies and equipment.
Space Tug, 8m Pallet (Solar Panels retracted) attached payload enter Mars atmosphere ... legs now glowing hot to help aerobrake the vehicle.
Chute deployment, heat shield on bottom of 8m Pallet glowing hot, SuperDracos firing
Expendable Cargo Starship is a ship that is not capable of returning to Earth, performs one mission. This boosts mission performance at the cost of the vehicle. An Expendable Cargo Starship can carry structures even wider that 9m to destinations in space. They may be used as on orbit "stages" for very large or very fast deep space missions. Elon Musk has suggested it may be a useful varient for some missions.
"One Way Crew-able" Starship is a ship that is deployed to LEO, Moon or Mars with dedicated machinery attached to it. The Starship body becomes part of the operational system. Fuel tanks may be converted to pressurized space for use once the Starship is deployed.
You can get many uses from a Starship that can't re-enter ... many deliveries to GTO and one to the Lunar Surface or Mars atmosphere.
Planetary Defense Starship (PDS)
Combining 4 regular One-Way Starships cores around a modified One-Way core can allow for planetary defense against a Million Ton Asteroid (MTA). This weapon, if it hit a MTA 2 months before Earth collision it would change the MTA's velocity enough to change it's position by 2 Earth diameters ... a very near miss ... but a miss. Mission cost $500-$750M. In the following render the payload on the core Starship is special. At about 100 tons it contains string Starship connectors, SuperDraco thrusters and fuel for terminal divert and a (blue) inflatable impact enhancer that expands to the diameter of the target before impact. During the final minutes of thrust impact assessment sensors are dropped off to record the impact results ... this allows them to trail the impact. After the end of thrust a single lander launches from the front to get a few weeks ahead of the rest, then drop a small 10 kg payload onto the surface to aid terminal navigation. Three NEODAT (Near Earth Object Detection and Tracking) satellites carefully track and calculate the needed trajectory down to a meter. The PDS also payload contains the Deep Space Atomic clock that the NEODATs listen to help calculate the any final thrusts with the SuperDracos.
Planetary Defense Starship (40 re-fuel trips needed, 5 Starship cores expended)
Per the NASA Administrators suggestion, in this concept three OWCIS (One Way Crew Inhabitable Starships) are joined to a central docking hub (bought up in a Cargo Starship cargo bay) in LEO. An additional hub with ROSA (Roll Out Solar Arrays) is added to complete the station. The deployed solar arrays remain pointed at the sun with the Starships mostly shaded. This allows for highly conductive skins on the Starships to act as radiators (since they are 90% shaded). One Crew Dragon per Starship remains connected as a life boat ... leaving 2 docks (on ends of the hubs) open for any ISS complaint auto-docking vehicle to dock. Pressured space is approximately 2500 cubic meters to start with (2.5x the ISS) and option to convert fuel tanks to expand to more than 8500 cu meters. Number of crew is "lifeboat capacity" limited to 21. Cost to build and deploy is around $2-3B.
Starship based microgravity "Delta" Space station (2030)
In this concept OWC Starship is placed into LEO with no crew. The top 1/3 of the this OWCS is stuffed with parts needed for build out: air, water, supplies, a ROSA (Roll-out Solar Array) and Radiators (which are both automatically deployed soon after arriving at LEO). Life support is automatically started and validated so that Crew Dragon, Starliner, Orion or a stock Crew Starship can dock and the "construction crew" can board.
The tanks in the OWCS are then converted to living space ... providing up to 2,000 cubic meters of living space. The depiction shows a notional set of "decks" to provide some idea of scale. The tank build-out may be based on cutting open the top of tank domes and then welding hatch doors to those areas ... probably a 3m type hatch with air, water and power feed connects built in. An large inflatable kit is placed each tank and automatically expands to provide insulation, wires and lead detection to the tank interior skin. Next a set of rigid wall frames are attached to the hatches and put together.
1) Under powered, may need more solar cells
2) Post launch orbital converting of tanks has never been attempted
3) Staff limited by on-station lifeboat capacity (15 max)
4) 2m "Starship class dock" has no been proposed by SpaceX

Depiction of a Single Starship Space Station (S4)
Given that F9 has a fairing shape that allows the fairing diameter to be about 25% greater than the first stage diameter I created a notion that extends this concept to Starship. Also, just as the F9 has legs that bump put from the rocket body, I suggest some bump outs that contain Roll-Out Solar Arrays and the Radiators that are deployed on orbit. This creates more useful interior space and better balances the design. The tanks area at least provides some good structure, and could be converted to pressurized space. Finally I include 3 2m wide hatches for Starship to Space Station connections ... or connections between these modules.
"Wide Fairing" Space Station
In this concept three OWCIS (One Way Crew Inhabitable Starships) are docked in LEO around a central hub (brought up by a Cargo Starship). A second hub is connected ... guide wires are then connected to bottoms of the OWCISs to provide stability (from both hub 1 and hub 2). Solar collectors are unfurled from the second hub to provide power. A fourth stock Crew Starship is then docked with the first construction crew at hub 1 to act both as a long term "lifeboat" and a long term micro-gravity area for recreation. The tanks in the 3 OWCISs are then converted to living space (see Single Starship Space Station concept above). The assembly is then slowly spun up to provide spin gravity as high at 0.25g at the Starship base.
The 0.25 - 0.2g decks (near the bottom of the Starship's converted tanks) provide more normal hygiene and dining. This creates about 2,500 cubic meters of space for each OWCIS for a total of 8,500+ cubic meters in the facility total. The Crew Starship rotating along the hub axis still offers micro-gravity experience opportunities even as the facility slowly spins. The facility keeps the solar collectors pointed at the sun. While the views from the facility slowly rotate ... the fast changing view of the earth that fills the windows obscures the rotational effect. One other Crew Starship can dock at hub 2 for passenger transfers. Note that Crew Starships need to have a hatch (I suggest a special 2m hatch) at the nose to allow rotational matching.
Key Issues (High Risk Concept):
1) Stability ... the spinning top issue
2) Variable gravity across decks can cause motion sickness
3) Needs more solar cell area

Beth Nunn was heading back to the United Kingdom after a brief holiday in New Zealand, staying at Papamoa with friends before spending several days in the South Island.
But the flight returned soon after the Cathay Pacific flight CX198 left Auckland at 3.50pm on Thursday. It landed around 4.30pm.
The aircraft’s nose was stoved in on impact with what was reported as “multiple birds”.
A decision to abandon the flight to Hong Kong and return to Auckland followed the dumping of fuel.
All went smoothly, with nothing to indicate an emergency had occurred. Nor had the pilot sought assistance or priority landing, says a Cathay Pacific spokeswoman.
The flight encircled the Upper North Island, website tracking showed.
Fuel was dumped when aircraft made emergency landings, the spokeswoman said, as aircraft cannot land laden with fuel.
While the spokeswoman was reported as saying she was unaware of the extent of the damage, Beth Nunn’s photograph graphically illustrates impact – a direct hit on the aircraft’s beezer.
Engineers were assessing the extent of the damage when the aircraft landed late on Thursday.

Seven Indian student teams including three high school groups will participate in the NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC) 2024 in the US.
The teams are from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani, Goa Campus; Candor International School, Bengaluru; Kanakia International School, Mumbai; KIET Group of Institutions, Delhi-NCR; Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh; Vellore Institute of Technology, Chennai; and Young Mind Research and Development, Faridabad.
These are among 72 other teams from 13 countries around the world that will compete in the engineering design challenge to build human-powered rovers.
The HERC, celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2024, tasks the students to design, build, and test lightweight, human-powered rovers on an obstacle course simulating lunar and Martian terrain, all while completing mission-focused science tasks.
“Throughout this authentic learning challenge, NASA encourages students to improve their understanding of collaboration, inquiry, and problem-solving strategies,” said Vemitra Alexander, rover challenge activity lead, Office of STEM Engagement at NASA Marshall.
“Improving these critical real-world skills will benefit our students throughout their academic and professional careers,” Alexander added.
In the HERC 2023, 11 student teams represented India at the international competition. Of the 2024 teams from India, VIT Chennai, BITS Pilani, Rajasthan and Amity Noida, KIET Group of Institutions, featured in the 2023 challenge as well.
Throughout the nine-month challenge, students will complete design and safety reviews to mirror the process used by NASA engineers and scientists. The agency also incorporates vehicle weight and size requirements encouraging students to consider lightweight construction materials and stowage efficiency to replicate similar payload restrictions of NASA launch operations.
Teams earn points throughout the year by successfully completing design reviews and fabricating a rover capable of meeting all criteria while completing course obstacles and mission tasks. The teams with the highest number of points accumulated throughout the project year will win their respective divisions.
The challenge will conclude with an event on April 19 and 20, 2024, at the US Rocket and Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The competition is one of nine Artemis Student Challenges and reflects the goals of NASA’s Artemis programme, which includes landing the first woman and first person of color on the moon.

WASHINGTON ~ NASA was due to launch the Kepler space telescope on Friday on the space agency’s first mission to detect Earth-like planets that may harbor life in our solar system.
Kepler’s massive telescope was scheduled for launch atop a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
It will be the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s first mission in search of Earth-like planets orbiting suns similar to ours, at just the right distance and temperature for life-sustaining water to exist.
“Kepler is a critical component in NASA’s broader efforts to ultimately find and study planets where Earth-like conditions may be present,” Jon Morse, astrophysics division director at the US space agency’s Washington headquarters, told a press conference last month.
“The planetary census Kepler takes will be very important for understanding the frequency of Earth-size planets in our galaxy and planning future missions that directly detect and characterize such worlds around nearby stars,” he added.
Kepler’s discoveries “may fundamentally alter humanity’s view of itself.”
Equipped with the largest camera ever launched into space – a 95-megapixel array of charged couple devices, known as CCDs – the Kepler telescope is able to detect the faint, periodic dimming of stars that planets cause as they pass by.
“If Kepler were to look down at a small town on Earth at night from space, it would be able to detect the dimming of a porch light as somebody passed in front,” according to Kepler project manager James Fanson.
At a cost of close to US$600 million, the Kepler mission will last three years and examine more than 100,000 sun-like stars around the Swan and Lyre constellations of the Milky Way.Filed under: Headlines | aerospace |

Just how to select a drone
Now we can go on to the qualities that need to be thought about before acquiring a lorry of this kind.
Measurements as well as weight. – As currently claimed, drones vary in their weight as well as size. My recommendations is to begin with a very small as well as really low-cost drone, perhaps with a little drone, so you can exercise flying at residence (or in the lawn) and not run the risk of wrecking a tool that knows that recognizes just how much money. Many drones can be fixed, in the event of an crash, thanks to special repair service sets that can be bought online, but also for more affordable drones the game is generally not worth the difficulty (instead, shield the automobile properly during the initial trips).
Autopilot Operation – This is among the sore notes of drones. A lot of drones appropriate for non-professional usage have a battery life of 10-30 minutes per cost. My guidance is to buy a drone that is geared up with an interchangeable battery, by doing this you can bring spare batteries and also have more autonomy. Remember that a more effective battery ( and also therefore extra existing) likewise relates to a higher weight of the battery and also therefore the weight of the drone. Likewise learn about battery billing times, which can be long.
Optimum elevation and distance – Subject to the above ENAC criteria, prior to acquiring a drone, likewise examine the altitude and the optimum distance it can get to throughout flight procedures.
Control system – the drone can be controlled through Bluetooth (in this situation its variety is 10-20 meters), via Wi-Fi ( optimum 50 meters) or by radio frequency (with a optimum distance that may vary from version to Version). To control it through Bluetooth as well as Wi-Fi, you can also make use of unique applications for mobile phones. For drones with an active variety of more than 50 meters, GPS assistance can be valuable, thanks to which the vehicle can utilize satellite works with to orient itself and conveniently reach its destination. However, features that can can be found in convenient when you are a novice with drones are the automatic monitoring of take-off as well as landing as well as automated altitude maintenance while flying.
Camera Stand – Drones are significantly being utilized to record aerial pictures and also video footage. If you are interested in services of this kind, examine the kind of video camera built right into the drone, the resolution of images and videos that the device can attain ( as an example, VGA, Complete HD or 4K) as well as the sort of photo stabilization applied to the photo. More advanced drones have, along with having a electronic camera stablizing system (a kind of plate with shock absorbers that takes in vibrations), a device called a gimbal that keeps the camera lined up on its axis, therefore making sure optimal electronic camera security. Pictures have actually been acquired. Drones with FPV (First Individual Sight) function allow you to see the photos you absorb actual time. Advanced drones additionally enable you to control the video camera individually of the car.
Acrobatics – A number of drones are programmed to execute aerial feats while flying. If you want this feature, ask what type of feats supported by the drone you mean to acquire.
GPS – UAVs with general practitioner can intelligently understand where they are as well as where they are going. They also have the ability to immediately comply with the individual.
LED – Some drones are outfitted with LED lights that increase their visibility and make their movements a lot more amazing.
Devices – Prior to getting a drone, you can also have a look at its devices. Some drone playthings can be tailored, for example, by including pliers or cannons to challenge friends’ drones.

Rovers are created to land on another planet, besides Earth, to find out information and to take samples. They can collect dust, rocks, and even take pictures. They are very useful for exploring the universe. Robotics and by extension rovers are a tremendously important part of space exploration. The purpose of the rovers project is to assess and assert the capability of RIT SPEX regarding the construction and fabrication of a mock-rover and then begin construction. This project will look at the unknowns, technical challenges, project management, and member skills of RIT Space Exploration in regard to a University Rover Challenge (URC) capable rover and rover construction. The URC is hosted by The Mars Society annually.
What is the University Rover Challenge
The University Rover Challenge (URC) is the world's premier robotics competition for college students. Held annually in the desert of southern Utah in the United States, URC challenges student teams to design and build the next generation of Mars rovers that will one day work alongside astronauts exploring the Red Planet. marssociety.org/ ☍

What will RIT SPEX be building?
The goal of this project is delivering a functioning rover. We define rover as a vehicle for driving over rough terrain, especially one driven by remote control. The rover will allow the team to develop skills and knowledge to build a more feature complete rover to complete in the URC in the future. The team will work on fabrication and design, autonomous navigation, electrical system design, rover testing, computer vision, and robotics.
Early render based on the NASA JPL Open Source Rover ☍
The rover will be testing using events designed like the URC but scaled down to fit the scope of this rover. We will be using time as a metric as well as binary metrics for completion of the parts of the competition. Some features might behave differently than expected or planned these features will be evaluated accordingly. This includes ’does the rocker-bogie system works as intended’, ’will the rover stop when directed at an obstacle’, etc.
The long-term vision of this project is to open RIT Space Exploration up to a new area of projects and development. Robotics and rovers are at the core of deep space exploration and most science missions. The project is also intended to lead into a future rover project with expanded capabilities. The University Rover Challenge is hosted by the Mars Society. It features very competitive and expensive rovers. These rovers feature autonomous navigation, fine control robotics, scientific drill and more. It is a worthy long term goal.

How do projects get approved?
Projects come from our members. Anyone can submit a project in the form of a Project Definition Document (PDD). The intent of a Project Definition Document (PDD) is to organize and document a project idea and its objectives. In the ideal project life cycle, an idea undergoes an initial research phase where a project Champion and their small team develops the primary objectives and requirements. The PDD is a snapshot of the known challenges, risks, and anticipated areas for research at the very start of a project.
All of the Project Definition Documents as well as thorough documentation can be found on out GitHub here. | aerospace |

“This is a great contribution to Israel’s security industry and the Israeli economy,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement released late Thursday.
The statement describes the arrangement as “an expression of the strategic partnership between Germany and Israel”, which “attests to the potential of Israeli industry to contribute to countries like Germany”.
According to Israeli media reports, Germany will lease the Heron-class drones — for an unspecified amount of time — in return for some $720 million.
Another $180 million will go directly to the Israeli government for use maintaining infrastructure used by the Israeli air Force.
According to The Jerusalem Post, the Heron-class drone is IAI’s most advanced unmanned aerial vehicle, capable of remaining in the air for 40 hours at a time and carrying a maximum payload of some 1,000 kilograms.
Heron-class drones, which can be outfitted with air-to-ground missiles, can be used for both reconnaissance and combat missions, the newspaper reported. | aerospace |

was scrubbed after weather forecasters predicted that clouds the rocket would have had to fly through violated rules NASA has drawn to avoid lightning strikes.
because of problematic weather around Kennedy Space Center in Merritt Island, Fla., and a tropical storm brewing off the coast of the Carolinas.
Weather conditions caused the violation of multiple launch conditions, including nearby thunderstorms that were causing lightning strikes to hit a few miles off the coast of the launch site. Conditions were improving as the launch neared, but flight engineers ran out of time before skies would have cleared enough to permit a safe launch.
Weather forecasters work to ensure that the spacecraft would have a low risk of being struck by lightning during its launch and would not be subjected to strong air currents contained in cumulus clouds and the top of thunderstorms, known as anvil clouds.
The technical violation has to do with electrical fields at and above the launch pad, and the Air Force’s 45th Weather Squadron, which forecasts for launch activities, has specialized instruments to monitor such conditions.
The decision to launch or not is governed by a detailed set of rules gained over years of experience. For instance, when winds exceed a certain threshold or clouds hold electric charge that could discharge as lightning, launches are called off, because the risk of catastrophic failure to crew, or cargo, is too high.
In describing why the launch was called off, Mr. Bridenstine said later in remarks on NASA TV that weather officers were concerned that a liftoff might “actually trigger lightning,” because of the excess of electricity in the atmosphere.
Persistent clouds did not clear in time, pushing the launch back to either Saturday or Sunday, the next window of opportunity. | aerospace |

During recycling processes gas and liquid phases are often intermixed. In the absence of gravity, separating gases from liquids is challenging due to the absence of buoyancy. This paper discusses a phase separator that is capable of efficiently and reliably separating gas-liquid mixtures of both high and low void fractions in a wide range of flow rates that is applicable to reduced and zero gravity environments.
The phase separator consists of two concentric cylindrical chambers. The fluid introduced in the space between the two cylinders enters the inner cylinder through tangential slots and generates a high intensity swirling flow. The geometric configuration is selected to make the vortex swirl intense enough to lead to early cavitation which forms a cylindrical vaporous core at the axis even at low flow rates. Taking advantage of swirl and cavitation, the phase separator can force gas out of the liquid into the central core of the vortex even at low void fraction. Gas is extracted from one end of the cylinder axial region and liquid is extracted from the other end. The phase separator has successfully demonstrated its capability to reduce mixture void fractions down to 10−8 and to accommodate incoming mixture gas volume fractions as high as 35% in both earth and reduced gravity flight tests. The phase separator is on track to be tested by NASA on the International Space Station (ISS). Additionally, the phase separator design exhibits excellent scalability. Phase separators of different dimensions, with inlet liquid flow rates that range from a couple of GPMs to a few tens of GPMs, have been built and tested successfully in the presence and absence of the gravity.
Extensive ground experiments have been conducted to study the effects of main design parameters on the performance of the phase separator, such as the length and diameter of the inner cylinder; the size, location, and layout of injection slots and exit orifices, etc., on the swirling flow behavior, and on the gas extraction performance. In parallel, numerical simulations, utilizing a two-phase Navier-Stokes flow solver coupled with bubble dynamics, have been conducted extensively to facilitate the development of the phase separator. These simulations have enabled us to better understand the physics behind the phase separation and provided guideline for system parts optimization.
This paper describes our efforts in developing the passive phase separator for both space and ground applications. | aerospace |

For leisure or work, private Jet requests are growing up constantly. Following this important market request, Dassault Aviation announced an all-new Falcon jet that will deliver a level of comfort, versatility and technology unmatched by any purpose-built business jet. Featuring a range of 7,500 nautical miles, the Falcon 10X will fly nonstop from New York to Shanghai, Los Angeles to Sydney, Hong Kong to New York or Paris to Santiago. The top speed will be Mach 0.925.
“Today we are introducing a new benchmark in business aviation,” said Dassault Chairman and CEO Eric Trappier. “The Falcon 10X will offer an unrivalled passenger experience over both short- and long-duration flights, along with breakthrough safety features from Dassault’s frontline fighter technology. We have optimized every aspect of the aircraft with the passenger in mind and established a new level of capability for ultra-long-range aircraft.”
The high end of the large business jet category has a new leader. With the sheer size and infinite layout possibilities of its cabin, the Falcon 10X elevates comfort, style, and flexibility beyond all expectations. And next-generation military technologies have endowed it with the beating heart of a fighter, with astounding safety innovations.
You can be sure that its 7,500 nm (13,900 km) range and a maximum speed of Mach .925 will help keep you in the lead. The Falcon 10X has a cabin cross-section larger than some regional commercial jets, allowing for new layout possibilities. The 10X cabin is 6 feet, 8 inches (2.03 m) tall and 9 feet, 1 inch wide (2.77 m). It is almost 8 inches (20 cm) wider and 2 inches (5 cm) taller than the widest and tallest purpose-built business jet flying today.
What most distinguishes the Falcon 10X is the sheer dimensions of its cabin. It will simply be the biggest and most comfortable on the market, offering far greater flexibility with a wide selection of interior configurations. Rather than four-cabin zones of equal length, you can smartly configure your cabin with different zone lengths to create completely customized interiors.
For example, you can create an expanded dining/conference area, a dedicated entertainment area with a large-screen monitor, a private stateroom with a fixed queen-size bed (and room to walk around it), or a master suite with a private stand-up shower. The baggage compartment is the largest in its class, with more than enough space for a transoceanic journey and conveniently accessible in flight.
The state-of-the-art systems found in the Falcon 10X trace their origin to Dassault’s legendary fighter aircraft. Falcon Digital Flight Control Technology is now more capable than ever for precise, smooth flight handling. On the new, pilot-friendly flight deck, industry-leading, automated protections exponentially increase safety and confidence. And the FalconEye Combined Vision System overcomes even the worst weather by vastly enhancing situational awareness.
The wide-ranging world of 10x – The 7,500 nm (13,900 km) Falcon 10X connects all major international business destinations nonstop. Fly New York to Shanghai, Hong Kong to New York, Los Angeles to Sydney, Paris to Santiago at Mach .85. Fly faster and connect Geneva to Singapore, Moscow to Los Angeles or New York to Dubai at Mach .90.
The healthy cabin features: Cabin pressurization will be the best in the industry with the lowest cabin altitude—a 3,000-foot pressure altitude in the cabin while flying at 41,000 feet. A next-generation filtration system that eliminates ozone and potential pollutants (volatile organic compounds) will provide 100 per cent pure air. Humidity can be maintained at a level that makes long hours aloft more comfortable and healthful. Temperature control will be provided in each of the cabin’s four zones with air entering at the top and the bottom of the cabin for an even temperature throughout.
The lowest sound levels: Dassault’s current flagship, the Falcon 8X has the lowest interior sound levels of any business jet, the equivalent of a typical suburban living room. The 10X, using Dassault’s advanced noise reduction technologies, will be at least this quiet despite the increased cruise speed.
For sure once again Dassault Group will leave us “breathless” with the Falcon 10X. This is the next appointment for all of us in Love with Falcon Jet.

PBY Catalina Survivors identifies Catalinas on display and includes aircraft designations, status, serial numbers, locations and additional information. The Consolidated PBY Catalina was a twin-engined American flying boat of the 1930s and 1940s, designed by Consolidated Aircraft Co. Several variants were built at five US and Canadian manufacturing plants.
Cessna 185 Skywagon
The Cessna 185 Skywagon is a six-seat, single-engined, general aviation light aircraft manufactured by Cessna. It first flew as a prototype in July 1960, with the first production model completed in March 1961. The Cessna 185 is a high-winged aircraft with non-retractable conventional landing gear and a tailwheel.
Over 4,400 were built with production ceasing in 1985. When Cessna re-introduced some of its most popular models in the 1990s, the tailwheel-equipped Cessna 180 and 185 were not put back into production.
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations, and it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts; nearly 60 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
The Spitfire was designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft by R. J. Mitchell, chief designer at SupermarineAviation Works, which operated as a subsidiary of Vickers-Armstrong from 1928. Mitchell pushed the Spitfire’s distinctive elliptical wing designed by Beverley Shenstone to have the thinnest possible cross-section, helping give the aircraft a higher top speed than several contemporary fighters, including the Hawker Hurricane. Mitchell continued to refine the design until his death in 1937, whereupon his colleague Joseph Smith took over as chief designer, overseeing the Spitfire’s development through its multitude of variants.
During the Battle of Britain, from July to October 1940, the public perceived the Spitfire to be the main RAF fighter, though the more numerous Hurricane shouldered a greater proportion of the burden against Nazi Germany’s air force, the Luftwaffe. However, Spitfire units had a lower attrition rate and a higher victory-to-loss ratio than those flying Hurricanes because of the Spitfire’s higher performance. During the battle, Spitfires were generally tasked with engaging Luftwaffe fighters—mainly Messerschmitt Bf 109E-series aircraft, which were a close match for them.
After the Battle of Britain, the Spitfire superseded the Hurricane to become the backbone of RAF Fighter Command and saw action in the European, Mediterranean, Pacific, and South-East Asian theatres. Much loved by its pilots, the Spitfire served in several roles, including interceptor, photo-reconnaissance, fighter-bomber, and trainer, and it continued to serve in these roles until the 1950s. The Seafire was a carrier-based adaptation of the Spitfire that served in the Fleet Air Arm from 1942 through to the mid-1950s. Although the original airframe was designed to be powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine producing 1,030 hp (768 kW), it was strong enough and adaptable enough to use increasingly powerful Merlins and, in later marks, Rolls-Royce Griffon engines producing up to 2,340 hp (1,745 kW). As a result, the Spitfire’s performance and capabilities improved over the course of its service life.
The Pitts Special (company designations S1 and S2) is a series of light aerobatic biplanes designed by Curtis Pitts. It has accumulated many competition wins since its first flight in 1944. The Pitts biplanes dominated world aerobatic competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remain a potent competition aircraft in the lower categories.
The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force based at RAF Scampton. The team was formed in late 1964 as an all-RAF team, replacing a number of unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands.
The Red Arrows have a prominent place in British popular culture, with their aerobatic displays a fixture of British summer events. The badge of the Red Arrows shows the aircraft in their trademark diamond nine formations, with the motto Éclat, a French word meaning “brilliance” or “excellence”.
Initially, they were equipped with seven Folland Gnat trainers inherited from the RAF Yellowjacks display team. This aircraft was chosen because it was less expensive to operate than front-line fighters. In their first season, they flew at 65 shows across Europe. In 1966, the team was increased to nine members, enabling them to develop their Diamond Nine formation. In late 1979, they switched to the BAE Hawk trainer. The Red Arrows have performed over 4,800 displays in 57 countries worldwide. | aerospace |

Acting FAA Administrator Daniel Elwell announced National Drone Safety Awareness Week, a planned series of nationwide events focused on the safe operation of drones, at the UAS Symposium held last week in Baltimore, MD. "We want everyone in on the conversation," he said. AUVSI will be a key partner in the week, including through Know Before You Fly, the public education campaign started by AUVSI, the Academy of Model Aeronautics and the FAA. "We're thinking outside the box," Elwell said. "We want to be more than the regulator" and to be an enabler. The FAA has issued Hensel Phelps Construction Company of Washington, D.C., a Part 107 waiver to operate a DJI Phantom 4 drone, equipped with a parachute, over people. A waiver is required to operate a drone contrary to the rules in part 107. The FAA did not certify or approve the parachute that will be used; however, the FAA determined that the waiver application sufficiently met the standard design specification (ASTM 3322-18) and that the proposed sUAS operation could be safely conducted under the terms and conditions of a waiver. Honeywell has unveiled a new compact "fly-by-wire" system that is approximately the size of a paperback book. The computer packs the "brains" of an airliner's flight controls into one system, and is the next step towards autonomous and Urban Air Mobility vehicles. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne-Unmanned!!!
Airborne-Unmanned 06.11.19 is chock full of info in this Weekly News Episode, Tuesday, June 11th, 2019... Presented by Aero-TV veteran videographer and Airborne Hosts Sophie Hurlock and is supported by ANN CEO/Editor-In-Chief Jim Campbell, Chief Videographer Nathan Cremisino, and Aero-Journalist Tom Patton.

What is Space Systems Engineering?
A space system consists of all of the elements necessary to complete a successful space mission: spacecraft, launch vehicle, ground operations, etc. For example, within the spacecraft, there are multiple discrete subsystems such as: Power (energy generation, energy storage, energy regulation), Command and Data Handling (flight software and code monkeys), Structures (keeping components from floating away and inside the spacecraft), RF Communications (data transfer from orbit-to-ground and ground-to-orbit), Payload (science!), and Systems (how do we fit everything in and make it all actually work?). By no means is that an inclusive list and the breakdown of elements necessary to complete a successful space mission carry over to the launch vehicle, ground operations, etc.
PHOTO OF SPACE SYSTEMS FROM SWART
Often, it is the behavior of the system as a whole that determines success or failure, not the optimal design of any one part. Furthermore, the hardware of a subsystem may function perfectly, but the interface between subsystems is often where a fault occurs. To reduce the risks of faults occurring, a fault analysis is required
EXAMPLE OF FAULT TABLE
At SSRL, our emphasis is on the end-to-end system; it informs our research activities as well as how we train our students. Our students are trained in a peer-to-peer system; learning from the experiences of those that have come before which allows new members to work one-on-one with veteran members.
Organization and Structure
SSRL is student managed to allow students to gain real world experience in managing demanding projects and how to coordinate with team members to better prepare them for industry. A student Program Manager is responsible for the success or failure of a program by producing a viable and functioning spacecraft within the time, cost, and system requirements. A student Chief Financial Officer manages the Program's funds. Students serve as engineering subsystem leads as they enter their junior or senior years, after acquiring extensive experience on prior projects, managing teams dedicated to a specific part of the spacecraft. Newer members typically float on different subsystem teams before choosing one in which to develop expertise.
Where We Go
SSRL provides outstanding experience for those who volunteer their time that sets our alums apart in the aerospace industry.

In accelerated flight the canopy doesn’t tend to advance, in all configurations of trimmers and speed system the reflex profile maintains with a great performance what means that the fuel consume is optimized and longer distances are achievable. A wing that is easy to launch with low speed charging only and without advancing the pilot. And at the landing it has a fantastic flare. Even with heavy duty and low speed winds you won’t hit the ground. Although the Flexus is very resistant to collapses, its behaviour in asymmetric collapse and front stall is gentle and of easy recovering. | aerospace |

Climb aboard and sit tight because as we are embarking on a journey through different areas, from smart cities to rural and coastal areas, to discover satellite based solutions! The Space Service Hub, powered by ESA, is a new platform on the Eurisy website to showcase a diverse set of downstream satellite-based applications.
During this launch event, the audience will be navigated through an animated version of planet Earth to get acquainted with the different satellite-based services populating the 3D web platform. Participants will have the chance to learn more about ESA’s incentives and competitions behind this initiative. The solutions of the companies involved will be showcased in short videos. There will be room for questions and interaction with the different representatives and speakers throughout the session.
3D web platform
On an animated version of planet Earth, visitors can navigate through different areas. There they discover how satellites have an impact on their daily life. With one single click, visitors can move from a coastal area to a rural, or urban area to learn about satellite solutions overcoming peculiar challenges from smart farming applications, to urban planning and the monitoring of our oceans.
In the context of the increasingly important role played by SMEs, in particular in the European space sector, ESA is striving to encourage and support the growth of these companies so that they have increased chances to have access to finance, information, and contacts, and, more generally, to promote their capabilities and know-how, in Europe and abroad.
- With its Startup Competition 2020, the European Space Agency offered ambitious start-ups tailor-made technical and business support in the development of their services and/or products using space technology. Three winning startups are now represented in the Space Service Hub.
- The Global Space Markets Challenge, was a competition launched in 2021 by the European Space Agency (ESA) with Eurisy’s operational and technical support. It was called into existence to give visibility to SMEs with internationalisation ambitions, developing products and/or services for the upstream or downstream space sector showing potential for extra-European and ESA markets. Five downstream winners of the competition have been integrated.
On a mission to:
- Raise awareness of satellite solutions tackling today’s societal challenges
- Promote solutions towards end-user communities
- Describe products/services in a non-technical way
- Demonstrate that satellite-based solutions are not as technical and difficult to use as they are perceived
- Visualise how to integrate the solutions into daily workflows and how to benefit from them
- Provide a marketing tool with an immersive VR experience and 3D web platform
- Grant permanent visibility on a platform reaching beyond the traditional barriers of the space sector
The Space Service Hub in Virtual Reality
The Space Service Hub can also be experienced in virtual reality at specific ESA or Eurisy roadshows, booths, and international events and fairs. | aerospace |

Becoming a Navy pilot has been one of TJ Kim’s greatest childhood dreams. To make his dream a reality, he began taking flying lessons as a teen. When TJ’s school and lacrosse season were shut down due to COVID-19, his flight training became one of the only activities he could still enjoy. The high school senior decided to combine his passion for flight with helping others as a way to help serve his community during this challenging time, he decided to combine his passion for flight with helping others. He created Operation SOS (Supplies Over the Skies) as a way to transport PPE to critical access, rural and community hospitals.
Operation SOS began by flying to Page Memorial Hospital in Luray (one of seven critical access hospitals in Virginia). From that mission, TJ received overwhelming gratitude from the hospital during a time when everyone wanted to focus donations on the big city hospitals. This interaction really inspired TJ and helped him recognize how much of an impact he could have by conducting these medical supply missions. Operation SOS now distributes supplies to critical access and other rural and community hospitals throughout Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.
TJ coordinates every element of mission planning from sourcing PPE to flying the aircraft under dual instruction. For each mission, he sources local vendors, performs hospital outreach to gauge needs, and conducts strategic flight planning. To date, he has completed 22 missions and has sourced and delivered nearly 85,000 PPEs and ventilator supplies to 21 locations. As COVID-19 cases continue to surge, TJ plans to continue in his missions as long as he can source the supplies and fly them to the hospitals in need.
One message that he has continually reinforced in public is telling young people that “you are never too young to be thinking about helping others in times of need. All you need to do to make a difference is to think of others first and the impact you will have will follow.”

Earlier that day, the aircraft departed Stuttgart, Germany, where it had been displayed to the public and guests of the German SOFIA Institute.
SOFIA was flown from Cologne, Germany, home of the German Aerospace Center, to the Stuttgart Airport, home of the nearby German SOFIA Institute located at the University of Stuttgart on the morning of Sept. 19, 2011. No science was conducted during the short flight, approximately 290 km (180 miles) between the two cities.
On Sept. 16, at 10:10 a.m. local time, NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, lifted off from its base at Palmdale, Calif., flying east en route to Cologne, Germany, for its first international deployment. After conducting astronomical research during the flight, SOFIA landed at the Cologne-Bonn Airport, shortly before 7 a.m. local time.
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) has completed an avionics upgrade and is currently undergoing inspection and maintenance of its telescope assembly. Should the observatory’s mirror be cleared for flight and preflight operations proceed with no anomalies this week, SOFIA will depart for the German Aerospace Center’s annual open house to be held Sept. 18, in Cologne, Germany.
On June 23, NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) observed the dwarf planet Pluto as it passed in front of a distant star. This event, known as an “occultation,” allowed scientific analysis of Pluto and its atmosphere by flying SOFIA at the right moment to an exact location where Pluto’s shadow fell on Earth.
On June 23, 2011 SOFIA observed an occultation by dwarf planet Pluto of a comparably bright (V ~ +14) star using two instruments simultaneously: HIPO (High Speed Photometer for Occultations; P.I. = Ted Dunham, Lowell Observatory) and FDC (Fast Diagnostic Camera; P.I. = Jürgen Wolf, DSI). The results were published in Person et al. 2013, Astrophysical Journal 146, 83.
Using Ustream, SOFIA Program Scientist Pamela Marcum and SOFIA Public Affairs Officer Nicholas A. Veronico reviewed the SOFIA program to date during a 45-minute webchat. The webchat featured a short video describing the SOFIA modifications followed by Marcum's explanation of how the flying observatory works and the benefits of flying an infrared telescope.
NASA has selected six teachers to work with scientists aboard the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) during research flights in May and June. This is the first team of educators selected to participate in SOFIA's Airborne Astronomy Ambassadors program.
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, completed its first science flight using the German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies (GREAT) scientific instrument on Wednesday, April 6. GREAT is a high-resolution far-infrared spectrometer that finely divides and sorts light into component colors for detailed analysis.
During the past year SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy, achieved the program’s goals and passed the program’s milestones at a pace almost as fast as the observatory can fly.
At the end of 2009, SOFIA’s engineering team succeeded in flying the observatory for more than an hour with the telescope cavity door fully open. Having achieved this success, 2010 began with additional in-flight testing of the telescope cavity door and its software system.
The German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz Frequencies, or GREAT, instrument was successfully mounted on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, airborne observatory for the first time on Jan. 21, 2011. A number of tests will follow before the first scientific flights of SOFIA with GREAT take place in April 2011.
"Thanks to all who participated in the project over the years and contributed to the completion of the instrument," said Rolf Guesten, principal investigator for GREAT at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany.
A mid-infrared mosaic image from SOFIA (the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) offers new information about processes of star formation in and around the nebula Messier 42 in the constellation Orion. The image data were acquired using the Faint Object Infrared Camera for the SOFIA Telescope, or FORCAST, (principal investigator Terry Herter, Cornell University) during SOFIA’s Short Science 1 observing program in December 2010.
Fifteen years after its final flight, veterans of the Kuiper Airborne Observatory, or KAO, gathered at NASA’s Ames Research Center last Nov. 10 to witness the opening of a time capsule.
The KAO is a highly modified Lockheed C-141A cargo transport fitted with a 36-inch telescope. The observatory was based at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., for operations that began in 1974 and lasted 22 years before the flying observatory was retired in 1995.
NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, or SOFIA, completed the first of three science flights on Wednesday morning to demonstrate the aircraft's potential to make discoveries about the infrared universe.
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), a joint program by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR), achieved a major milestone May 26, 2010, when the airborne observatory made its first in-flight nighttime observations. Astronomers call the first observations by a new observatory “first light.”
For the first time, scientists have peered at the stars using the newly installed telescope aboard NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), the largest airborne observatory in the world.
During the night of Aug. 18-19 in its first ground-based 'on-sky test,' the telescope was pointed at the star Polaris. A crisp white dot appeared on astronomers' computer screens inside the aircraft, demonstrating that the telescope's basic optical, mechanical and software systems all are functioning properly.
Columbia, Maryland--The Universities Space Research Association (USRA) announced today that it has selected Evergreen International Airlines to operate and maintain NASA's Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) aircraft.
Evergreen International Airlines will provide operational support, flight crews, and training and dispatch, while Evergreen Air Center will provide heavy maintenance and support.
All major components of the telescope, excepting the secondary and tertiary mirrors, have now been installed in the SOFIA aircraft. In addition, all control and support equipment is now in place and has been shown to function correctly. A major milestone was reached in November when the 1.2 meter spherical hydrostatic bearing was successfully used to float the ten-ton SOFIA telescope on 50 atmospheres of oil pressure. At that point the telescope could be moved easily by one person. The telescope servo control system was closed around the electronic fiber optic gyros in early December. | aerospace |

The collision occurred at Watsonville Municipal Airport shortly before 3pm, according to a tweet from a city spokesperson. The city-owned airport does not have a control tower to direct aircraft landing and taking off.
A single-engine Cessna 152 and a twin-engine Cessna 340 collided as they were making their final approaches into the airport, a spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.
One person was onboard the Cessna 152 and two people were travelling on the Cessna 340, according to the FAA.
Officials confirmed multiple fatalities but it was not immediately clear whether anyone survived. No-one on the ground was injured.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the collision.
The San Francisco Chronicle reviewed audio of the final moments before the crash on LiveATC.net and spoke to a general aviation source who reviewed the audio and flight data.
At about 2:54pm, the pilot of the twin-engine plane, traveling close to 200 miles per hour, announced over the radio he was a mile out. Immediately, the pilot of a second single-engine Cessna — a smaller and slower plane that had been circling the airport and hanging left to also line up with the runway — announced, “Yeah, I see you’re behind me.”
Seconds later, at 2.55pm, the pilot of the smaller plane announced he was going to abort his landing: “I’m gonna go around then, because you’re coming at me pretty quick, man.”
Radio traffic stopped for 30 seconds before a third pilot warned other pilots of the crash.
As emergency services raced to the scene, two other pilots discussed what happened.
“The twin-engine Cessna was on a long final approach and somebody else was on base turning on final ... approach,” a pilot explained. “The twin-engine Cessna didn’t see him and he crashed into him. The single engine went down and the twin engine rolled into the ground.”
What has been said?
Watsonville Mayor Ari Parker said early Thursday evening that the city is in grief following the mid-air collision between the two small planes.
"We are grieving tonight from this unexpected and sudden loss," Parker said. "I want to express my deepest and most heartfelt condolences."
Watsonville Municipal Airport has four runways and is home to more than 300 aircraft, according to its website. It handles more than 55,000 operations a year and is used often for recreational planes and agriculture businesses.
Watsonville is about 100 miles south of San Francisco. | aerospace |

- Exosphere – The last layer and the thinnest. It goes all the way to 10,000 km above the Earth’s surface.
- Thermosphere – The thermosphere is next and the air is very thin here. Temperatures can get extremely hot in the thermosphere.
- Mesosphere – The mesosphere covers the next 85 km. beyond the stratosphere. This is where most meteors burn up upon entry. The coldest place on Earth is at the top of the mesosphere.
- Stratosphere – The stratosphere extends for the next 50 Km. after the troposphere. Unlike the troposphere the stratosphere gets its heat by the Ozone Layer absorbing radiation from the sun. As a result, it gets warmer the further away you get from the Earth. Weather balloons go as high as the stratosphere.
- Troposphere – The troposphere is the layer next to the ground or surface of the Earth. It covers around 30,000-50,000 feet high. This is where we live and even where planes fly. Around 80% of the mass of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. The troposphere is heated by the surface of the Earth.

- Development of a test rig for the certification of a rotorcraft V-Tail
- Experimental testing of the V-tail building blocks, from coupon level to panel level
All stages of the investigation involve correlation of experimental results to detailed numerical FE models that further contribute to the establishment of the structural integrity of the V-tail and the careful selection of materials and components.
The results of the tests performed using the multipurpose test rig will have triple use:
- Support the certification process of the innovative fin, (testing of the innovative fin)
- Validation of the fin global FE model, and
- Contribute to the investigation of the stiffness and strength of novel joining technologies (testing of novel hybrid joining concepts).
A key characteristic required by the test rig design is that variable stiffness is needed, such that the actual behaviour of the fuselage at which the fin will be attached will be properly emulated. The preparation of the test rig will provide the opportunity for structural tests at sub-scale level, by incorporating the minimum amount of modifications at the test rig design. In this way, the multipurpose test rig will be exploited to the sub-scale level testing, too. Results of the tests at sub-component level, e.g. fin spar to skin hybrid joints, will facilitate the validation of advanced numerical models, which will be developed for predicting the debonding at the hybrid joint. These numerical models will be applied in the simulation of static and fatigue crack growth (debonding) of bonded composite joints. The model’s input parameters will be obtained from experimental tests on coupon level. | aerospace |

It is a sector that has been pursued for a number of years, and the impetus will continue, according to Walter Roban, Minister of Transport and Regulatory Affairs.
“Bermuda is seeking to expand and diversify its economy, and next steps with respect to the satellite and space industry are of critical importance,” he told MPs in Parliament on Friday.
“Now that Bermuda has secured its orbital slots and the Space Industry Bill is presently before the UK Parliament — the next step in regulating space flight activities — Bermuda must consider its options and what it has to offer.”
Mr Roban was speaking about his visit to London in September, where he attended London International Shipping Week conferences and took part in meetings relating to shipping, investment, and transport.
Beyond the shipping conference, the space industry was a topic of conversation with consultants, and the Deputy Premier said he had “fruitful discussions” that continued in Bermuda after he returned from Britain. He added: “I will have more to report on this in due course.”
Bermuda has four orbital slots for satellites, one is occupied by the EchoStar VI satellite operated by the company Satellite Ventures (Bermuda) Ltd, which is a joint venture of SES Satellites (Bermuda) Ltd, and EchoStar Ltd.
The satellite operates on the BermudaSat-1 network at 96.2°WL, and its potential markets include commercial, leisure and government consumers.
However, a US-imposed moratorium that has been in place since 2005 has prevented access to the highly valued US market by all new licensed satellite networks, including Bermuda’s.
The EchoStar VI satellite was launched in 2000 and brought into service on the BermudaSat-1 network in 2013. In March of last year, in a report to Parliament, it was stated that no commercial agreements had yet been made for the satellite, although SES continued to be “optimistic about the commercial prospects of BermudaSat-1”.
In December, Grant Gibbons, who at the time was the Minister of Economic Development, spoke about meetings he had with Nasa officials in Washington DC. The discussions included the issue of the moratorium and suggestions on how Bermuda might proceed.
Afterwards, Dr Gibbons said work was bring done with consultants “to consider various options and provide me with a recommendation as to the best course of action to put us into a position to finally maximise the commercial potential of our premier satellite orbital resource”.
Bermuda’s involvement with the space industry stretches back to some the earliest days of Nasa’s space programme, with the agency operating a tracking station at Cooper’s Island from 1960 until 1997.
This year, the island has hosted portable satellite tracking facilities operated by Nasa, the European Space Agency, and SpaceX.
In London last month, Mr Roban was part of a Bermuda delegation that included representatives from the Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority, the Bermuda Business Development Agency, and a number of Bermudian-based companies.
He said the group had promoted “Bermuda’s ‘blue-chip’ advantages to the international shipping sector”.
Mr Roban also met with Transport for London to talk about technology and travel products.
He said: “These included, for example, ‘pay as you go’ or pre-loaded cards such as the Oyster card, contactless payment — which requires a chip and PIN technology not yet widely available in Bermuda, ticket vending machines, biodegradable smart cards and travel apps.” | aerospace |

As with previous events, as soon as the UFO appeared, NASA quickly cut the video feed due to “technical difficulties”. In the video below, watch the horizon on the right-side of the screen (post-processing zoomed views were added after the unprocessed video segment). As the Earth rotates below, the “High-Definition Earth Viewing experiment” captures a huge, round object rising above the earth’s horizon and into space.
Very few explanations have been offered thus far. Some surmise debris on the camera lens, space junk floating in the distance, or some sort of unknown top-secret high-tech aircraft. Others have proposed that the unknown object is the Moon. Most are still scratching their heads.
It’s worthy to note that zooms of the area in question show the earth’s atmosphere is disturbed as the object moves through it indicating the object moves through the atmosphere and not behind it. Seconds later, the object is above the atmosphere, providing us with an excellent undistorted view of the UFO. Close-ups reveal a near-perfectly round object which would promote the theory that the object is a balloon – except the size (relative to the Earth) would suggest the balloon would be enormous – like “city-sized”!

The People"s Liberation Army Air Force said on Friday it will send a group of J-20 stealth fighter jets for a flight performance at the coming 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, the largest arms exhibition in Asia.
Senior Colonel Shen Jinke, spokesman for the PLA Air Force, said in a statement published on the Air Force"s website that along with a new paint scheme, these J-20s will display new formations and new tactical maneuvers during the exhibition, commonly known as the Zhuhai Airshow, in the coastal city of Zhuhai in Guangdong province.
This will become the third time the J-20, China"s best and most expensive combat plane, will perform in front of the public and its second appearance at the Zhuhai Airshow.
Wu Peixin, an aviation industry observer in Beijing, said the Air Force seems to have prepared a sophisticated J-20 performance for the coming air show, indicating the Air Force is more confident and open in showing its J-20 force, as opposed to the jet"s debut in the last Zhuhai Airshow in November 2016 that lasted less than 2 minutes.
He said visitors can expect a spectacular show, because the Air Force must wish to use the air show to display the capability of its top fighter jets.
China"s first fifth-generation combat aircraft, the J-20 made its maiden flight in January 2011 and was declassified in November 2016. It started to be commissioned in the Air Force in 2017, becoming the world"s third stealth fighter jet to enter service after the United States" F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II.
It has been sent to take part in a series of combat exercises and has practiced beyond-visual-range aerial fighting maneuvers during the drills, according to the Air Force.fabric wristbands uv bracelet custom silicone wristbands wristbands online uv bracelet | aerospace |

Astronauts going to the moon have a problem, radiation. It is said that the biggest health problems that astronauts may encounter due to radiation will be diseases such as cataracts, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Although it is thought that a few days planned to be spent a month will not cause much trouble for the human body, exposure to radiation can be dangerous. Now, the radiation level on the Moon has been revealed.
In previous lunar missions, radiation measurements were not taken. Now, studies on this subject are being carried on persistently.
Radiation level on the moon revealed
The results of the work carried out in 2019 by a team of Chinese and Germans emerged recently. In the tests conducted for the Apollo missions at that time, it was stated that the amount of radiation on the Moon would not harm the human body for a few days. However, the amount of radiation on the Moon’s surface was unknown for a while.
Radiation levels on the moon are on average 2-3 times higher than the International Space Station. According to these figures, the duration of a person’s stay on the Moon is limited to two months considering the arrival and departure times. This radiation is caused by neutrons from galactic space rays, gamma rays, solar flares, and interactions between space radiation and lunar soil.
The Sievert unit is used to measure the amount absorbed by the human body. According to this research, being on the Moon is equivalent to being exposed to 1,369 microsievert radiation a day.
The International Space Station is protected by the magnetosphere as it is not far from Earth. In this way, people at the station are not exposed to radiation. Always considered, an astronaut can stay at the station for an average of 6 to 8 months and fulfill his duty. The radiation level on the moon is 200 times higher than the Earth’s surface.
NASA aims to send astronauts to the Moon in 2024 with the Artemis mission and to establish a base by 2030. Also, NASA stated that it has a long-term plan for astronauts who will work and live on the lunar surface. | aerospace |

In conclusion, in Ray Bradbury’s 1950 dystopian novel, The Rocket, there are two main themes. imagination, and belief in yourself. The Rocket, is of a father who wants to bring his family to space but everyone thinks that it is an impossible task to accomplish. This novel communicates on how those two themes are important for the story.
Sadly, none of the five survived. Later that night President Ronald Reagan came on air to give the State of the Union address and talk on the tragedy that had just unfolded. Through this speech President Reagan consoles the families of those who lost their lives, the American schoolchildren, and the American public as a whole. He also gives this speech to reassure America of the viability of the NASA program and the light in the future. By the use of rhetorical skill, including analogy, strong emotional appeals, and his position of power, President Reagan manages to convince America that despite the tragedy the benefits of keeping a space exploration program greatly outweigh the losses.
The English epic, Beowulf, takes place in the Anglo-Saxon period where a tale of a hero named Beowulf is celebrated. “Explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger: Address to the Nation” is a speech devised by former President Ronald Reagan about the tragic death of the members of the Challenger Seven space crew. The crew members of the Challenger are similar to Beowulf because they both display courage. Although they both plunge into dangerous situations, Beowulf is more heroic than the members of the Challenger because during his hour of need, Beowulf is forlorn by his own warriors, but continues to fight on as though nothing can possibly stop him. To begin with, Beowulf is similar to the members of the Challenger Seven space crew because
In the evening of January 28, 1986, the President of the United States, Ronald Reagan, was scheduled to report on the state of the union, but instead addressed a tragedy that took place earlier that morning. The space shuttle Challenger, which took off from Florida, engulfed into flames only seventy three seconds after it had taken off, leaving America heartbroken,with no survivors. The scene was being broadcast live all over the nation, as they witnessed the death of seven heroes. With time ticking, and American’s sitting at the edge of their seats, Peggy Noonan wrote the president’s speech. Within this speech, he addressed the audience using the pathos and ethos appeals to achieve his purpose of resting the hearts of Americans everywhere, without patronization.
What is the Space Race? The Space Race, a competition which grew out of the cold war with both sides wishing to exploit propaganda and military benefits of making the first forays beyond the Earth’s surface and atmosphere It lasted from 1955 to 1972. The USSR won the early victories of this race. It put Sputnik 1 in space on October 4, 1957, along with the first man in space (Yuri A. Gagarin) on April 12, 1961. After that, President John F. Kennedy announced in May 1961 that within a decade, an American would land on a moon and came safely home.
The mission ended due to an unfortunate cabin fire during the launch test on January 27th. The Apollo 7 mission was to last 10 days and 20 hours. The three crewman were, the Commander Walter M. Schirra, the Command Module Pilot, Donn F. Eisele, and the Lunar Module Pilot, R. Walter CunningHam. The launch date was October 11, 1968. There were two goals set for this Apollo mission.
Armstrong helped in developing a rocket plane called the X-15. The X-15 had a G limit, helped accelerate plains beyond the gravity five times the force on Earth (Byers, 2004). This acceleration could lead to disorientation, dizziness, blackouts, or loss of control of the X-15 (Byers, 2004). Armstrong would be the first to test the X-15, unfortunately he lost control of the plan and did not have the controls to steer the plane back to Earth’s atmosphere (Byers, 2004). Lucky he was able to stay calm and land the aircraft safely, many people would have panicked and lost complete
Humans have always heard the call to explore the unknown, from the expedition of Lewis and Clark, to the first man stepping foot on the moon. No matter how difficult the task seems, someone will answer the call. This is why we have spent so much time and effort on Mars exploration, Everyone wishes to be known as the one who heard the call of the unknown, and made an effort to go to mars. We have already landed many rovers on Mars, and have plans to eventually land humans on Mars. Ever since our first flyby back in 1965, scientists have never lost interest in the red planet, sending everything from satellites to full-sized rovers have had a shot at making the layout of the red planet known.
On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia came crashing down from space, killing all seven crew members that were present in the shuttle. The crew was an ethnically diverse group of seven, consisting of, Rick Husband, commander; Michael Anderson, payload commander; David Brown, mission specialist; Kalpana Chawla, mission specialist; Laurel Clark, mission specialist; William McCool, pilot; and Ilan Ramon, payload specialist from the Israeli Space Agency. During the 16 days in space NASA investigated a piece of foam that fell from the shuttle at its initial takeoff, it attached the external tank to the shuttle the foam fell off and struck the left wing of the shuttle.

Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster On 28 January 1986, Space Shuttle Challenger on Mission 51 - L broke apart 73 seconds after the launch and it resulted in the death of all seven crew members on board. The challenger started to break into parts after the failure of right Solid Rocket Booster 's O-ring seal. After that, the external tank was destroyed by the explosive burn of hydrogen and oxygen propellants, and Aerodynamic forces completely broke up the orbiter. On the other hand, the crew compartment and other vehicle components were recovered from the Atlantic Ocean after the extended search and operation. After the disaster, United States President Ronald Reagan appointed a special commission in order to investigate the accident. | aerospace |

This morning, NASA released a 72-frame video of the asteroid dubbed DA14, which has an estimated diameter of 30 meters and mass of 40,000 metric tons.
The video was captured with the 230-foot Deep Space Network antenna at Goldstone, California and spans 8 hours of the asteroid's travel time.
The asteroid may look like a pixelated spinning nugget in the video above, but scientists say the video will help them study the 130ft long asteroid's orbit and physical characteristics.
According to National Geographic, if the asteroid would have hit the Earth's surface, the damage would have ranked on par with the devastation left by Siberia's Tunguska event in 1908 -- with the force of 180 atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. | aerospace |

The most recent previous landing failure for SpaceX was the core first-stage booster on its debut Falcon Heavy launch; the two side boosters made a flashy synchronized landing, but the central booster crashed.
Based in Seattle, Washington, Spaceflight helps companies like SpaceX identify, book, and manage rideshare launches like the one on December 3.
The Dragon capsule filed with supplies for Wednesday's liftoff previously launched last February on another supply run. Instead of landing at SpaceX's designated landing pad, it ended up submerging in the Atlantic Ocean - just off the Florida coast. Viewers were greeted with clear skies as the Falcon 9 SpaceX rocket carried 64 different spacecraft from 34 separate organizations as part of the Spaceflight Industries SSO-A: SmallSat Express mission.
Groans filled SpaceX Mission Control in Hawthorne, California, as live video showed the first-stage rocket booster spinning out of control, still high above Cape Canaveral.
Add that SpaceX's Falcon 9 Block 5 mostly meet the criteria of NASA for manned flights.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted that a grid fin hydraulic pump stalled was the likely cause of the failed landing attempt.
The launch was initially scheduled for Tuesday, but was delayed due to *checks note* moldy mouse food.
In late August, sensors detected a small pressure drop in the station's air supply that was traced to a leak in the upper habitation module of the Soyuz MS-09 vehicle. The private company expects to start launching station crews next year.
Astronaut Anne McClain, also from NASA, will monitor telemetry during the spacecraft's approach.
European Space Agency's Alexander Gerst and NASA's Serena Aunon - who are already aboard the ISS - will use the space station's robotic arm to capture the Dragon when it arrives two days later.
European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev will head back to Earth Dec. 20 after six and a half months in space - but not before helping out with unpacking the Dragon! | aerospace |

"I am very excited to see our Space program back on track," Jindal said. "Although we will never forget the tragic events of the Columbia, we can best honor the brave men and women aboard that flight by continuing to explore our universe. To the scientists, technicians, and crew that have worked so diligently on ensuring the safety and continuation of our Space program -- This is your day. Enjoy watching the fruits of your labor as the rest of the world looks on in awe."
"Also, I want to extend a thank you to the more than 3,500 workers at New Orleans' Lockheed Martin Michoud Space Assembly Facility that have been focused building the boosters for the Space Shuttle Discovery. They are an instrumental part of today's launch, as well as our nation's future space plans. I am confident we will continue to see the Space Assembly Facility play a strategic role in our country's military and aeronautic future." | aerospace |

Now Galvars hits me alongside the Rosomak inwards the same configuration alongside Spike anti-tank missiles (is anyone else noticing that the “dual” configuration is giving away to “quad packs”?).
