However, moisture can compromise these goals, leading to degradation, reduced performance, and safety risks. For these reasons, moisture control plays a vital role in the success off any rocket. Therefore, we will explore the importance and use of desiccants in keeping rocket propellant dry, highlighting their significance in preserving propellant stability, optimizing performance, and enhancing overall safety.
The Impact of Moisture in Rocket Propellant
Moisture in rocket propellant can have detrimental effects on performance and safety. For example, moisture can cause combustion instabilities, unpredictable thrust patterns, and even complete motor malfunction. The formation of ice can block or obstruct propellant lines or injectors, freeze valves, and disrupt the flow of propellant. Thus, effective moisture control is crucial to mitigate these risks and ensure consistent propellant behavior throughout the mission.
The Role of Desiccants in Moisture Control
As drying agents, desiccants are key components in ensuring that rocket propellant remains dry. These materials feature moisture adsorption capabilities and are chemically inert. Desiccants work by capturing moisture present during the manufacturing process, in addition to drying the storage and flight tanks of cryogenic propellants during their construction, as well as prior to propellant transfer and use. In this way, desiccants minimize the potential for ice formation and chemical degradation of the propellant. By reducing moisture content, desiccants enhance propellant stability, optimize combustion performance, and improve overall system reliability.
Types of Desiccants Used to Dry Rocket Propellant
Various desiccant materials are commonly used in drying rocket propellant. These desiccants include silica gel, molecular sieves, activated alumina, and calcium sulfate. These materials are carefully selected based on their adsorption capacities, the dryness levels required, and compatibility with propellant chemistries. Desiccant filters and desiccators can be integrated into propellant storage tanks, transfer lines, or incorporated into filtration systems to efficiently capture and remove moisture throughout the propellant lifecycle.
Integration and Implementation of Desiccant Technology
Desiccant integration into rocket propellant systems involves strategic placement of desiccators or desiccant filters at critical points in the manufacturing process, as well as where moisture ingress is likely to occur. Propellant storage tanks, for example, along with transfer lines, and launch pad systems, are some areas where desiccants are employed to remove moisture and maintain optimal moisture levels. The proper design and implementation of desiccant technology ensures efficient moisture removal, system performance, and long-term propellant stability. However, this is often a challenging task given the highly precise nature of rocket design and the low contaminate tolerance that rocket propellants must maintain.
AGM’s Engineering Services help with customized desiccant product design and project integration.
Desiccants play a critical role in the drying of rocket propellant by effectively removing moisture and maintaining propellant stability. They ensure optimal performance, enhance safety, and extend the storage life of propellants. With ongoing advancements and innovations in desiccant technology, the aerospace industry continues to improve moisture control methods, contributing to the reliability and success of space missions and pushing the boundaries of human exploration in the vast expanse of space.

NASA has a plan, and it involves a crash
There will be no Bruce Willis or Aerosmith, but NASA is preparing to do something. Similar to the 1998 sci-fi hit song “Armageddon:” hitting the skies.
He boarded a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which will take off. From Vandenberg Space Force Base in California just before 10 p.m. at a local time on Nov. 23, The Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART. Will go into space in the hope of determining “deliberately crashing into an asteroid is an effective way to change its direction.”
“It’s an exciting job,” Andy Cheng, DART’s lead investigator, told reporters on Thursday. “It’s unbelievable.”
a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket
The target asteroid is called Dimorphos, orbiting a large asteroid called Didymos. Didymos is half a mile long, and Dimorphos is 520 feet long.
The Didymos orbit around the sun is getting closer to our planet, making it closer to Earth. In 2003, it reached almost 4.5 million miles [4.5 million km] near Earth. However, the two asteroids were chosen by NASA because they said they did not pose a real threat to Earth.
Elena Adams, a DART engineer, said the program had been under development for five years. If the launch is delayed later in November, the party has a window to launch in Feb. 15, 2022.
Lindley Johnson, NASA’s chief defense officer, said the total cost of the campaign, from its inception to a year-long vision after impact. Would cost NASA about $ 330 million.
November continues according to plan
If the launch in November continues according to plan, the DART spacecraft will begin its year-long flight to asteroids. At approximately 15,000 miles per hour, and is expected to be close to September 26-Oct. 1, 2022. The DART system is much smaller than Dimorphos. And unlike “Armageddon,” the plan is not to destroy it entirely, but rather to “provide a small shift.”
Nancy Chabot, DART’s lead coordinator, said giving Dimorphos a touch will affect its cycle around Didymos by about 1%. That may seem small, but if the asteroid were to orbit the Earth, the technology used could make a difference.
“You can just give this asteroid a slight shift, which could involve a major change in its future position. And then the asteroid and Earth would not be in a collision course,” Chabot said.
NASA hopes will be answered about the impact
Many questions NASA hopes will be answered about the impact. Such as how much force needed to bend the atmosphere. How quickly it will move after the impact. If the debris will travel in multiple directions and if an asteroid is built for the media. The camera will be used by a spacecraft before the impact of photographic equipment. And scientists will be able to see its effects with telescopes.
The team that spoke to the media on Thursday. Reiterated that there are no threats to the starry heavens that could cause serious damage in the future. And that this is about preparation.
“We do not want to be in a position where the star is looking at the Earth. And then we have to test this kind of ability.
more than 27,000 Near-Earth objects in our solar system
Currently, there are more than 27,000 Near-Earth objects in our solar system. 891 of which are at least the equivalent of Didymos, according to NASA. For an asteroid or comet to be considered a near-Earth object. It needs to reach within 120.8 million miles from our planet.
Johnson said the reason for doing this now is when something unprecedented happens to Earth suddenly. Until that happens, NASA plans to do more similar tests in the future.
“We may be exploring other strategies or alternatives for asteroid diversification,” he said. | aerospace |

Mars has two Moons, Phobos and Deimos. They were both discovered in 1877, by Asaph Hall at the Naval Observatory in Washington DC.
Phobos is the larger one of Mars’ moons, and it orbits closer to the surface of Mars than Deimos does. Phobos is 22 km in diameter, and orbits Mars three times every 24 hours. Phobos is slowly moving closer to Mars, and scientists believe that Phobos will eventually collide with Mars (in about 20-50 million years) or break up into pieces because of Mars’ gravitational pull. Phobos has an irregular shape, many craters, and dark terrain.

Deimos is the smaller of Mars’ two moons, and is one of the smallest moons in the solar system. Deimos is 12 km in diameter, and is more than twice as far away from Mars as Phobos is. Because it is significantly further away, Deimos takes over 30 hours to orbit Mars once. Deimos, like Phobos, has an irregular shape.
Astronomers think that both Phobos and Deimos were asteroids that got pulled into orbit around Mars by Mars’ gravity. Unlike Phobos, Deimos is much smoother and only has a few craters. In addition, because it is much further away, instead of colliding with Mars or breaking up into pieces, Deimos is likely to slowly move away and fling into space.
Phobos and Deimos were both named after Greek gods. These gods were thought to embody fear and terror: the word “phobos” in Greek means fear, and this is where the English word “phobia” comes from. In Greek mythology, Phobos and Deimos were the twin sons of Ares and Aphrodite. Ares is the Greek name for the Roman god of war, Mars.
Many scientists think that Phobos and Deimos need to be explored more than they have been so far. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Ames Research Center have both proposed missions to Phobos and Deimos. The SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) also thinks that Phobos and Deimos are mysterious objects that are important stepping stones for the exploration of Mars in the future. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, and NASA have proposed a partnership to explore Phobos in the near future… well, that’s if you consider 2030 the near future!

Learning to fly. What an amazing adventure.
I have to admit, I originally thought it would just be a fun little hobby, but rest assured, it takes a good bit of time, money, and determination.
My initial estimate was to complete my training in 5 months, finishing in March. This was extended due to two major holidays and a nasty flu bug near the end.
A very important consideration in flying is the concept of "currency" or "recency". In fact, for your flying license to be valid, you must have flown a certain number of hours within a certain amount of time. This varies from country to country.
It's amazing how quickly you can forget things. Even taking a week off from flying can set you back a lesson or two.
If you want to learn to fly in the least amount of time possible, it's important that you don't have large breaks between your lessons. I have three substantial breaks during my training and I could really feel the difference coming back after not flying for a while.
There are lots of things about flying that are easy to pick up. Takeoffs are very straightforward. Climbing, descending, and turning can be learned very quickly. There are, however, a few tough parts:
Landing: This must be the hardest part of flying to teach, because you can understand the concepts, theory, and techniques fully, and still make an absolute mess of a landing. So much depends on the "feel" of it, which varies significantly based on the plane you're in (even of the same type), the weather, and especially the wind.
FLWOP: This stands for "forced landing without power," and is the procedure for landing a plane safely in the event of a complete engine failure. Everything is fairly straightforward, but there are a lot of steps. When you are first learning, it all happens so quickly, and it is easy to miss steps, or get things out of order.
Wing drop stalls: Again, the technique is very easy to understand and learn, but putting it into practice can be harder. The most difficult part for me was getting over the fact that you are basically dropping out of the sky during the exercise. After lots of practice, these are now less terrifying, and even a bit fun :)
All in all, learning to fly was an extremely rewarding experience, and I'm very glad to have invested the time and effort to follow it through. The views from above and the feeling of controlling your glide through the air are difficult to describe.
I look forward to being able to take up friends and family for a fly when I return home.
Thanks to everyone for all of your support and encouragement! | aerospace |

The problem that has kept the space shuttle
Discovery bound firmly to earth for the last few days has been solved and
America’s space flight agency (NASA) is determined to launch on July 28th
-- perhaps even with only three of the usual four external fuel tank sensors.
We shouldn’t be astonished at NASA’s grim determination. There is more than
the maintenance of the International Space Station (ISS) and of NASA’s reputation
at stake. The success or failure of this shuttle flight, the first since Columbia’s fatal accident in February 2003, will influence
expert opinion on the future of manned space flight.
SEE ALSO: Russians Fret That U.S. Endangers Manned Space Flight, From Russia's Novisti Newspaper, July 20
The debate about whether or not manned space travel makes sense was spurred on in the fall of 2004 when the American president addressed the subject during his reelection campaign, and he described his dream of sending astronauts to the moon in 2020 and to Mars by 2030. The European Space Agency (ESA) was inspired and announced that it also wanted to undertake manned space flight. In
Basically, the arguments are as follows: manned space flight’s costs and risks are too high. Bob Park, a physics professor and space flight expert at the University of Maryland, is a vehement critic. He points out the unpleasant side effects on the astronauts’ health, the least harmful of which include digestion problems. Naturally, such problems don’t bother robots very much. Park’s main argument is that the radiation levels to which astronauts are exposed -- many times the maximum levels considered safe here on Earth -- pose an unacceptable risk.
The German Physics Association adds that, since robotics has made such great advances in the last few decades, the presence of humans in space now appears to be unnecessary, and scientific or economic gains that would justify the high costs of manned space flight have yet to be found. For example, robots are much better suited for experiments in weightlessness. In addition, the very much higher costs generated by keeping the people on board safe are an argument for unmanned space fight.
Ulrich Walter, a professor of space flight technology at the Technical University of Munich and a veteran of a 1993 space flight on board the space shuttle Columbia, rejects the costs argument. The 1992 Eureka Project, a free floating unmanned platform for experiments in space, was, at €412 million per experiment, five times as expensive as a comparable manned mission. However, it would be very difficult to calculate the costs of a settlement on the moon or on Mars.
In contrast, the safety problem is most difficult. Although every technical thing that one can imagine to make the shuttles safe has been done in NASA’s research centers, the Discovery incident shows that there is really no such thing as a routine space launch, notwithstanding more than 110 successful launches and highly detailed control procedures. The horror that kept people glued to their TV screens in 1986 when the shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after take-off and was, sadly, repeated during Columbia’s fateful 2003 landing attempt, would certainly have been much less intense had the crew been made up of robots. Only the engineers would have mourned. There’s always some level of risk.
There is one indisputable advantage humans have over robots. When the picture of the first man on the moon was broadcast around the world, many could identify with it. Whether a planet is explored by telescopes, robots or humans make a huge difference. People are interested in people. And thus the day that the first human sets foot on another planet will draw much, much more worldwide attention than will the results of any scientific experiments.

In an official assertion, the DGCA stated, “In continuation of the circular dated 30.05.2020 on the subject cited above, the competent authority has decided that Scheduled international commercial passenger services to and from India shall remain suspended till 2359 hrs IST of 15th July 2020.”
— DGCA (@DGCAIndia) June 26, 2020
However, this restriction won’t apply to worldwide all-cargo operations and flights particularly authorised by the DGCA.
“The international scheduled flights may be allowed on selected routes by the competent authority on case to case basis,” additional learn the assertion.
On June 20, Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri had stated that the worldwide flight operations will begin solely after different nations open their air area or borders.
Puri had stated, “Any suggestion that international traffic has opened up and we are the only one not to open up, needs reality check. The exact time when we will resume international flight depends on the other countries to be open to receive flights. In absence of a decision on resumption of international civil aviation we are left with no option but to continue what I call evacuation and repatriation flights under managed and controlled conditions.” | aerospace |

Vacuum chucks rely on the atmospheric air pressure around them to push parts onto their surface.
Atmospheric air pressure exists around 30″ Hg or 15 PSI at sea level (Yes, every square inch of our bodies has 15 lbs of air constantly pressing on us). This is why passengers on planes flying at high altitudes can experience swelling due to lower pressures in the cabin. Cabins are typically pressurized to an equivalent of being at 8,000 ft above sea level. At this altitude there is roughly 11 PSI of air pressure. Translate this into workholding and users at higher altitudes will experience a significant drop in holding force equating to a loss of 0.5 PSI per 1,000 ft above sea level. A high powered vacuum pump operating in outer space would be completely ineffective.
The atmosphere likes to remain at a constant level and it is this principle that causes the wind to blow – air flows from high pressure to low pressure. When objects are tossed around by the wind, they are acting as obstacles to this high-pressure-to-low-pressure flow. When a vacuum chuck is turned on the air pressure decreases below the workpiece which causes higher air pressure above the workpiece to want to fill this low pressure space below it. The workpiece becomes an obstacle which is pressed against the chuck.
The next time someone tells you that a vacuum chuck sucks parts down ask them when was the last time they saw the wind suck over a tree! | aerospace |

These wetsuit rehearsals are where the space agency “typically refines countdown procedures and validates critical models and software interfaces,” according to NASA. Engineers have addressed many of the issues discovered in previous wetsuit repeat attempts.
Once completed and tested, the SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA, destined to herald the next generation of human space exploration.
But the agency was forced to relocate him in April after a hydrogen system leak affected three rehearsal attempts. The rocket is scheduled to launch in June as part of the Artemis Moon mission. But that will only happen if he can complete a full rehearsal of the wet dress first. The wet dress rehearsal includes a series of tests designed to show that the Orion rocket and spacecraft and their ground infrastructure are ready for launch.
NASA began its first attempt on April 1, and it was supposed to be completed within the next 48 hours after loading liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants into the rocket and some simulated launch countdowns. But the team ran into multiple problems, mostly due to leaks from the hydrogen system, and were forced to relocate the rocket to the massive Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) after two more failed attempts.
Engineers would also have completed some of the work that was to take place in the VAB after the dress rehearsal. This forward work included opening the Orion crew module hatch and installing some payloads. Payload such as hardware items for Castillo technology demonstration, flight kit locker and container sets for space biology experiment. The next wet dress rehearsal will take place about 14 days after the huge rocket arrives on the launch pad. | aerospace |

The Boeing aircraft involved in the emergency landing is one of the first Boeing 737 aircraft, which arrived in 2019, as part of the airline’s plan to increase its capacity and meet the ever-increasing demands of its guests.
Although, the 100 passengers onboard the aircraft were apprehensive, but the Pilot In Command landed the plane successfully.
Confirming the incident, Dana Air in an official statement issued Tuesday evening, made available to THEWILL, stated that, “Our Abuja bound Boeing 737 aircraft with registration number (5N DNA), embarked on an emergency landing today, 19th July, 2022, due to an indication on one of its engines.
“The Pilot-in-command briefed the passengers on the incident and landed the aircraft safely at the Abuja International airport at about 2.52pm.”
All 100 passengers disembarked safely and the aircraft has been grounded for immediate attention by our team of engineers.
The airline informed that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) have also been briefed on the incident
“We sincerely apologise to all our passengers onboard the flight and reassure our customers that Dana Air will continue to maintain its high safety standards”, Dana Air stated. | aerospace |

There was a passing shower about an hour before the event started and as we were leaving at the end of the night shoot at 22.00hrs, the heavens opened up for about 10 minutes with a heavy downpour. Between then the sun put in an all to brief appearance before it slowly disappeared below the horizon but most of the time is was cloudy, bright and a bit cool.
(Move cursor over thumbnail images below and click for larger image. Click square top right to close.)
Photographs are in the order they were taken.
Unfortunately there were cancellations in the line up with the advertised pair of Belgian Alpha Jets not arriving and the Sea King having GPS problems and the Army Gazelle was operating late at its home base to be able to arrive at Northolt in time. To partly make up for the absentees was a Dutch Royal Flight Fokker 70(PH-KBX) that was parked up at the back of the hard standing and added to the photo shoot. After an initial wander along the flight line, to photograph the aircraft in the setting sun and twilight conditions, there was a bit of a pause for about half an hour while waiting for it to get dark enough for the artificial lighting to take effect. During this time a 32 Squadron BAE 146 arrived back at its home base and was parked on the pan at an angle and hooked up to a generator so all the lights could be on. This was closely followed by a black and yellow Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit Eurocopter EC145 helicopter which was parked right at the other end of the pan necessitating a rather long, brisk walk.
Once it got really dark, the French helicopter crew were first to provide the evenings entertainment. They fired up the Turbomeca Arriel 2B Turboshaft engine of their Eurocopter Fennec and following pre-flight checks, proceeded to lift off and hover above their parking spot. I swear I could hear the multitude of camera mirrors slapping away above the sound the helicopter was making. Not to be outdone, the ground crew of the Irish Air Corps Agusta Westland AW139 prepared their helicopter and then the flight crew powered up the pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6C-67C turbo shaft engines. The rotors turned but alas the wheels of the AW139 stayed firmly stuck to the ground for this run.
While waiting for the ‘Copper Chopper’ to depart at around 21.15, I believe that one of the French crews of one of the Alpha Jets did a bit of posing in front of their aircraft with their flying kit on and canopies open. The Turbomeca Arriel 1E2 turbo shaft engines of the EC145 powered up and then the police pilot hovered his helicopter just above head height before doing above his parking slot a 720 degree turn for the gathered photographers before departing into the darkness and back to base at Lippits Hill, Laughton. With the departure of the police helicopter and flying ceasing for the night, the pan was opened up to the photographers that were still about.
The Techie Bit
For the last Northolt Night Shoot, I used the ‘Hand Held Twilight Mode’ on my Sony A580 which being a camera function, I had no control over the camera settings. This time I was using my Sony SLT-A35, a mirror less camera, with the ‘High ISO Noise Reduction’ facility in which you have full control over the shutter/aperture/ISO settings. This works on the same principle as the Twilight Mode in that it takes a series of six rapid shots, which in the electronic view finder you can actually see moving around, and uses Image Averaging to reduce the picture noise level and colour artifacts at the same time micro-shuffling them so they line up.

An IndiGo spokesperson said: “IndiGo flight 6E 2221 operating from Amritsar to Delhi missed the exit taxiway after landing at Delhi airport due to low visibility. The aircraft stopped at end of the runway and was towed to the parking bay by a tug. IndiGo prioritises operational safety above all else and regrets any inconvenience caused to passengers.”
The aircraft had taken off at 7.20 am and landed here at 8.35
The aircraft subsequently stopped at the dead end of IGIA’s main runway, resulting in the closure of the runway for approximately 15 minutes.
Operations resumed after the IndiGo Airbus A320 was towed to a parking bay.
An IndiGo spokesperson emphasized the airline’s commitment to operational safety, citing low visibility as the factor contributing to the missed exitway.
The statement expressed regret for any inconvenience caused to passengers.
The incident serves as a reminder of the critical role visibility plays in aviation operations and the stringent safety measures implemented by airlines to prioritize passenger safety. | aerospace |

AI has entered the cockpit of the aviation industry and it is starting to steer the aviation industry to a safer landing. In other words, employing AI could potentially improve fight safety. This means that AI is about to change the face of air travel dramatically and start to replace a lot of pilots in the cockpit. The skies have become significantly busier over the past 2 decades and as air traffic continues to increase, planes will have to ‘thread the needle’ between twice as many commercial airlines as before, when flying. Being interlinked and communicating well is the key to coordinating with the thousands of other planes darting around in our skies.
An AI system was developed by researchers at the universities of Braunschweig and Munich. It leverages machine-vision to and processes visual data of the runway the plane is about to land on. It effortlessly steers the plane to a safe landing without any human intervention required! Human pilots have a vision that’s limited by the visible light spectrum whereas the AI technology effectively uses the infrared sensors to see what humans cannot. This gives it an edge over pilots during harsh weather conditions such as fog, that might make it hard for a human pilot to make out the landing strip. Additionally, this system doesn’t rely on radio signals provided by existing ILS(Instrument Landing System) which smaller airports couldn’t afford anyways. All these useful features mean that this assistive technology could go a long way in improving this industry and eventually take full control of our flights. Boeing managed to complete a fully autonomous landing of a passenger aircraft in early 2019.
However, there is an important reason behind pilots still being paid extravagant salaries each year, it’s because 100s of people’s lives depend on a pilot’s ability. They solely have to shoulder this responsibility with which comes accountability. I’m mentioning this because with every new software that can be connected to the internet, comes a risk of it being hacked. Some of the landing systems which rely on machine vision could be fooled simply by someone adding extra, misleading markings on a runway and cause the landing to go disastrously. Simple sabotage attempts such as this one could cost many people their lives so it is safe to assume that it is currently too early to fully rely on AI systems alone in the cockpit. In the approaching decade, we expect AI systems to only assist pilots, not take complete control of the planes. Pilots have started supervising AI-led plane journeys from the ground, as they are permanently linked to the flight’s management systems during the entirety of the journey. | aerospace |

DARPA occasionally stands up temporary special projects offices focused on coordinating, developing and/or deploying advanced capabilities on an accelerated time scale. These efforts fall outside of DARPA’s typical program structure and leverage the Agency’s unique organization and skill sets to make rapid progress in technology areas that are critical to national security. DARPA currently operates one special projects office: the Aerospace Projects Office
Initiated in 2009 in collaboration with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force, DARPA’s Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) program has been investing in advanced technologies to provide a leap ahead in U.S. surface warfare capability. The LRASM program aims to reduce dependence on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, network links and GPS navigation in electronic warfare environments while providing innovative terminal survivability approaches and precision lethality in the face of advanced countermeasures. After LRASM prototypes completed two successful flight tests in 2013, LRASM transitioned from a DARPA technology demonstration program to a formal U.S. Navy program of record in February 2014, with fielding set for 2018. | aerospace |

The rule requires airlines to let passengers off a plane grounded on the tarmac after three hours except for reasons of safety or security, or if air traffic controllers determine that returning to the terminal would disrupt airport operations. Airlines must also provide passengers adequate food and drinking water within two hours of delaying a flight, maintain working lavatories, and provide medical attention if necessary.
Passengers' rights advocates have cheered the rule, which they first started pushing for in 1999 and redoubled their efforts to secure after incidents in 2006 and 2007 left outraged travelers stranded on grounded flights for up to 10 hours without food, water or working toilets. But the airline industry has warned that it will inconvenience flyers as carriers pre-emptively cancel more flights than they otherwise would have rather than risk being fined up to $27,500 for every passenger who cannot exit a flight stuck on the tarmac for more than three hours.
What do you think of the rule limiting tarmac delays to three hours? Is it good for airline passengers, or will it have unintended consequences that could make flying more difficult? Are there better ways to ensure that air travelers aren't subject to lengthy tarmac delays? | aerospace |

SpaceNews reports that Celeste Smith and Nathan Cheek of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced the finding during a presentation at the 37th Annual Small Satellite Conference earlier this week. Lunar Flashlight first began facing issues with blockages in three of of the four lines that provide propellant to its thrusters just three days after it launched in December 2022. The pair said that the blockages were likely caused by titanium particles that became loose as the spacecraft vibrated before and during launch, and that these thruster issues ultimately led to the death of the mission.
While Lunar Flashlight had its fair share of trouble, JPL and project collaborators at Georgia Tech were never ready to immediately give up on the probe. After the team began detecting trouble with Lunar Flashlight’s propellant lines, NASA took a new approach to push the probe into a high Earth orbit instead of the planned near-rectilinear halo orbit. There, Lunar Flashlight would still have a view of the Moon, but only through monthly flybys of the lunar South pole. All the while, NASA continued attempts to clear the propellant lines of debris.
The hits didn’t stop coming, however, as Lunar Flashlight also struggled to get into high Earth orbit with its reduced thrust as the clock ticked ever closer toward its demise. While NASA cooked up a Hail Mary plan to crank up pressure in the obstructed lines above mission standard, Lunar Flashlight ultimately couldn’t complete the maneuvers needed for it to remain in the Earth-Moon system. Unfortunately for the little probe that couldn’t, the space agency declared the mission over in May—just under six months after its launch.
Lunar Flashlight was a briefcase-sized satellite fitted with an instrument called a four-laser reflectometer. With this device, the probe would have used lasers to scan the Moon’s surface in near-infrared wavelength in an attempt to find water ice hidden in the Moon’s permanently shadowed regions. Infrared wavelengths are absorbed by water, so data collected by Lunar Flashlight would be able to delineate water ice from lunar rocks and soil.
The method would’ve allowed NASA to not only find the reservoirs of water-ice, but potentially figure out how large they are, since more absorption could indicate more water. While Lunar Flashlight may be dead, these reservoirs could still be a source of drinking water, fuel, or even breathable oxygen for future crewed missions to the Moon. | aerospace |

Now ESA has chosen eleven instrument consortia which will be included on board the spacecraft, a research spacecraft which will cost about 830 million Euros to build and send to Jupiter. The participating countries will fund the additional cost of building the instruments. In Sweden’s case IRF has received funding from the Swedish National Space Board to develop its instruments.
JUICE as a whole will carry out an exhaustive investigation of the complicated Jupiter system, concentrating on the three Galilean moons (Ganymede, Europa and Callisto) which are assumed to have oceans under their icy surfaces. The aim is to investigate whether life might exist in these oceans.
The instrument package PEP from Kiruna will measure what types of particles there are around Jupiter and its moons to find out how the space environment in Jupiter’s enormous magnetosphere functions. RPWI measures electrical and magnetic fields in the magnetosphere in order to map waves in the space plasma and thus come to conclusions about the ionospheres and extremely thin atmospheres (so-called exospheres) of the moons of Jupiter. By investigating currents which may couple inductively to the seas under the ice RPWI will contribute to JUICE’s aim of helping us detect life on the icy moons.
“IRF has just got two Olympic gold medals in space research on Europe’s largest flag-ship to the outer solar system!” says Jan-Erik Wahlund. “It’s like leading Columbus’ first journey, except that it goes to Jupiter’s giant moons with seas under the ice. We are writing history.”
“This is IRF’s largest-ever project,” says Stas Barabash. “That ESA chooses two Swedish-led instrument packages for a mission of such scientific significance shows how competitive Sweden is in this area. PEP won out over proposals from the United Kingdom, USA, Italy and France.”
IRF’s Director, Lars Eliasson, was also glad when he learnt that IRF’s two instruments had been chosen, and described how it was at a meeting with ESA in 2005 that he became convinced that it was important to concentrate on a mission to Jupiter. He says, “It was obviously a few years ago now, but my guess was right that there would be an ESA mission to Jupiter, that it was the right project for IRF to concentrate on and that we are good enough to be included in it.”

BUFF goes golden
April 15, 2002, by Bill Cawthon
Fifty years ago today, one of America's greatest warplanes took to the air for the first time. At 11:09 AM on Tuesday, April 15, 1952, the YB-52 Stratofortress, the first of its kind to fly, began rolling down the runway at Boeing Field near Seattle, Washington. Moments later, test pilot Alvin "Tex" Johnson and his co-pilot, USAF Lt. Col. Guy Townsend, got the huge plane airborne while Bill Allen, Boeing's president, waved his arms and yelled, "Pour it on, boy!"
The Stratofortress got its start with a 1946 Air Force contract for a new bomber, designated as the XB-52. The Air Force wanted a new plane capable of delivering atomic bombs to distant targets. This was in the days when the Cold War was just beginning: hydrogen bombs and ICBMs still lay in the future. The long-range strategic bomber was still the ultimate method of projecting military might.
It may seem hard to believe today but back then the Air Force did not believe jet engines could do the job and specified a conventional straight-wing aircraft powered by six turbo-props engines. In 1948, the bomber contract was awarded to Boeing and the project was given to Ed Wells, vice president of engineering. Wells and George Shairer, chief of aerodynamics, knew jet technology was up to the task, so they prepared two proposals for the Air Force. The first was a turbo-prop plane with a conventional design. The second proposal called for jets.
On Thursday, October 21, Boeing engineers showed their turbo-prop design to the Air Force. The meeting took place at Wright Field AFB near Dayton, Ohio. George Shairer presented the concept, assisted by Boeing engineers Art Carlsen and Vaughn Blumenthal. Colonel Pete Warden, chief of bomber development for the USAF, was disappointed by the projected performance. He asked if the Boeing team had a proposal for a jet-powered aircraft. Shairer had the jet designs with him and called Ed Wells to join him in Ohio. Wells arrived in time to help Shairer, Carlsen and Blumenthal to quickly develop a presentation based on the jet.
The second Boeing design replaced the turbo-props with jets,
Wells, Shairer, Carlsen and Blumenthal were joined by two other Boeing engineers, Bob Withington and Maynard Pennell, at the Hotel Van Cleve. The six men worked through the weekend on a new design with swept-back wings and eight jet engines. A trip to a hobby shop provided the materials to create a model and a stenographer was hired to type the proposal on Sunday.
On Monday, October 25, the Boeing team presented the new design to Col. Warden. Warden was impressed and said; "Now we have an airplane. This is the B-52."
The Air Force approved the changes and ordered two prototypes, designated XB-52 and YB-52. The Boeing design worked so well in early testing, the Air Force issued a letter of intent to proceed with the manufacture of the new bomber over a year before the first fully operational prototype was delivered.
Over the course of the plane's development, the design changed very little. The plane that flew in 1952 looked almost the same as the 14-inch scale model the Boeing team had built over that weekend in Dayton.
The XB-52 was supposed to be the first to fly, but it was damaged during testing, so the YB-52 made the first flight. The flight lasted two hours and fifty-one minutes and was the longest maiden flight of any previous Boeing aircraft. The plane performed just as the specifications developed by Wells, Shairer and their team had predicted.
The Air Force ordered that the program move forward. Between the first test of the YB-52
The first fully operational B-52 was the B-52B. It entered service with the USAF's Strategic Air Command on June 29, 1955. The first planes were assigned to the 93rd Bomb Wing at Castle AFB, California. The plane was a giant, with a wingspan of 185 feet, a fuselage almost 160 feet long and a gross weight of more than 180 tons, far larger than the B-47 it replaced. Due to its large size and weight, the B-52 soon acquired the nickname, "BUFF," or Big, Ugly, Fat, um … "Fellow." (Of course, you realize that no one in the armed forces has ever used the word "fellow," but it'll do in this venue.)
Counting all versions, including the XB-52 and YB-52, Boeing built a total of 744 Stratofortresses 1951 to 1962. The last new B-52, an H-series with tail number 61-040, left Boeing's Wichita production line on June 29, 1962.
While the B-52 has played a part in almost every American military action since the Korean War, we can all be grateful it has never had to perform the role for which it was originally designed; the delivery of a nuclear weapon.
The Stratofortress first saw combat on June 18, 1965. That day, thirty B-52Fs flying from Anderson AFB on Guam used conventional weapons to attack Viet Cong positions. It was again called upon during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and in U.S. operations in the Balkans. In its current support role in Afghanistan, the B-52 has delivered a wide variety of conventional munitions including bombs and missiles. Although the Stratofortress has been flown in just three percent of the sorties, it has delivered thirty-five percent of the total ordnance. It has also been used to drop propaganda leaflets from a specially designed container.
There are ninety-four B-52Hs in active service today. Most are assigned to the USAF Air Combat Command and are based in Louisiana and North Dakota. One B-52A is still in service with NASA as a test aircraft. The B-52 has remained operational longer than any bomber in American aviation history. It is starting on its third generation of
Of course, today's B-52H is much different from the first B-52A. New avionics and electronic warfare systems have added a number of bulges and protuberances. In addition, upgraded engines, increased range and capacity, and expansion of its mission capabilities have ensured the B-52's ability to meet the changing demands of modern warfare. Depending on the configuration, it can carry up to fifty-one 500-pound bombs or up to twenty air-launched cruise missiles with a variety of payloads. The modern Stratofortress has a range in excess of 10,000 miles and an operational ceiling of 50,000 feet. Its eight Pratt & Whitney TF-33 turbofan engines give it a top speed of 650 mph.
To give you an idea of how effective the Stratofortress can be in modern military operations, consider this: On January 16, 1991, seven B-52Gs took off from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. They began air combat operations in Operation Desert Storm by bombing targets in Iraq. When they returned to Barksdale, they had flown 14,000 miles. The planes remained in the air for 35 hours, the longest air combat mission in aviation history at that time.
On April 12, 2002, Boeing held a ceremony to honor the golden anniversary of the Stratofortress' first flight. In attendance were Guy Townsend, the co-pilot on that flight, Pete Warden, the Air Force colonel who gave the initial approval to the project and Bob Withington, a member of the Boeing team that created the B-52 design over that busy weekend in Dayton, Ohio.
At the ceremonies, Lt. Gen. Tom Keck, commander of the 8th Air Force, said, "Every major conflict since the Korean conflict has witnessed the incredible and deadly combat power of the B-52. Today's war on terrorism is no exception. It's a glorious history for this marvel of aviation, and the future looks every bit as bright,"
So, Happy Anniversary to BUFF; Boeing's Unbeatable Freedom Fighter! Best wishes for many more.
See you next time!

Space might be the final frontier, but as China announces plans to build a moon base, NASA begins working on manned missions to Mars and spaceships continue to probe deep space, one group of scholars is asking: Are human colonies in space ethical?
“As long as space colonization was merely the dream of science fiction fans, serious questions about how and if we should do it were moot. However, now that colonies have become a near-term possibility, the question of whether and how we ought to build them becomes pressing,” said Kelly Smith, a philosopher and biologist at Clemson University and founding president of the Society for Social and Conceptual Issues in Astrobiology (SSoCIA). Smith and Keith Abney, a philosopher at Cal Poly, co-edited a special issue of the academic journal Futures devoted to exploring these issues.
Topics like the immediate and irrevocable impact humans will make in space were missing from the discussion until recently. “Now, astrobiologists are looking for fossil evidence of past life on Mars, and the possibility that Mars might host microbial life today is growing stronger,” says Linda Billings, a consultant to NASA’s Astrobiology Program and the Planetary Defense Coordination Office. “Once humans land on Mars, the environment will be contaminated for further scientific exploration.”
In Futures, Smith, Billings and 14 other scholars address space colonization from their variety of disciplines: philosophy, communications, ecology, animal rights, anthropology and religion. The essays are a collective call to “incorporate the ethical dimensions more explicitly in our decision-making,” Smith said. | aerospace |

This year, drones have particularly received a lot of attention as they have become more and more available to the public. Of course, common people mostly use them as toys for entertainment, but let’s not forget that these toys were first used by the military forces or federal agencies mostly for espionage.
However, even for them, given the rate at which they need to use a drone, the devices were too expensive and a bit out of reach. Thankfully, after the recent massive breakthrough, the US Navy is planning to use drones for surveillance.
The reason is obvious: they are smaller and lighter. Besides, they can also be launched from or land on any type of surface, without needing a runway. Actually, this was the major problem the navy had. Many of their reconnaissance or surveillance missions were done using small airplanes.
Nevertheless, it doesn’t really matter how small the aircraft is as long as it still need space to launch from or land on. This is why navy planes took off from runways found on aircraft carriers. These carriers were specially built for this purpose.
DARPA and contractor Northrop Grumman are building long-endurance drones which will eventually replace the existing surveillance planes as well as the aircraft carriers. Although it is quite an investment at $93 million, it would bring gain to the navy on long term.
Of course airplanes will still be used in different missions and some aircraft carriers will be kept, but being mostly replaced by drones, it will save the navy lots of money which used to go into the ships maintenance.
The drone will look like a single wing of an airplane that will have some stabilizers and two propellers attached in the fronts which will counter rotate. As for its main most wished for feature, the drone will be taking off just like a helicopter, fly horizontally and then turn back to base and land vertically.
The project’s objective is to create a drone that could take off from closed spaces and fly even in bad weather conditions. If the project is successful it can revolutionize the way the US Navy leads reconnaissance and surveillance missions.

The EAA Young Eagles program was launched in 1992 to give interested young people, ages 8 - 17, an opportunity to go flying in a general aviation airplane. These flights are offered free of charge and are made possible through the generosity of EAA member volunteers
What will your flight be like? The biggest question on your mind might be about the actual flight. So what should you expect? First of all, your pilot will explain what will happen during the flight. This might include talking about the airplane, reviewing an aeronautical chart (or map), identifying reference points during the flight, completing a careful "walk around" pre-flight inspection of the airplane and identifying the parts that control the airplane.
Once you are ready to go flying, your pilot will help you buckle your seat belt and describe the interior of the airplane, including the instrument panel. Pretty soon, it will be time to go flying! Once in the air, you’ll see the earth and sky in a new and exciting way. You’ll experience the wonderful freedom of flight that many people only dream about. If you are like most Young Eagles, you’ll remember this experience for the rest of your life.
Most Young Eagle flights last between 15 and 20 minutes. Once back on the ground, there will be additional time for you to ask questions about the flight. Ask away! Your pilot will be happy to tell you more about flying and their particular airplane. And don’t forget, you’ll also receive an official Young Eagles logbook, which is signed by your personal pilot. We look forward to adding your name to the ever-growing list of EAA Young Eagles! What to expect on Young Eagle day at EAA 24. | aerospace |

By its very nature, an aircraft accident represents some form of failure of the aviation safety system.
With the culmination of 60 years’ experience in the aviation industry, the Flight Safety Group produced the AIIA training course from an integrated aviation safety concept that developed from our organisations’ extensive background in all aspects of the aviation industry.
Delivered face to face or by live learning virtual classroom, our AIIA course is intended to provide you with a general understanding of the processes of aircraft accident and incident investigation, in order that you might better understand the role of air safety investigation in the wider aviation context.

UKCAA CAP 437 HELIDECK CERTIFICATION
Aeronautical Enterprises and Flight Safety Africa provide detailed Helideck Inspection Awareness Training (HIAT) courses that are based on UKCAA CAP 437 and in addition will include information gleaned from local operations.
The Helideck Inspector Awareness Training (HIAT) course has now been extended to include onshore HLS (Helicopter Landing Site) design and an in-depth profile on HLSO (Helicopter Landing Site Officer) training, or can be conducted as only the standalone HIAT course.
A 'Certificate of Participation' is issued to all participants.
*Accident/Incident Investigation Analysis (AIIA) Courses can be held in conjuction if required. All courses are subject to minimum numbers and date changes.
The Flight Safety Group is conscious of the fact that both time and cost are of great importance to the Oil and Gas companies and have therefore designed our OPITO equivalent courses to be both cost and time effective, without forfeiting any of the requirements which ensure the crew members get the maximum benefit from the training.
In addition, to facilitate the offshore training even further, the Flight Safety Group has now converted all applicable offshore training courses to the online platform.
This online HLO accereditation fulfills the OPITO requirement but is applicable for current offshore personnel who hold or have held an HLO Certificate. In other words, personnel who currently fulfill the requirements for the practical OPITO experience requirements.
Personnel who lack the experience or require additional or refresher practical training will be required to complete a separate module - the "HLO Practical Module".
The Flight Safety group of companies have over 20 years' global experience providing external aviation Audits, Accident Investigations, Helideck Inspections, HLS Inspections and specialised training courses.
Flight Safety offers advice and certification to both International and UK CAP 437 standards for helideck and land based facilities.

Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center’s AirCare, a hospital-based air medical program, is the newest member of the Metro Aviation family, joining other North Carolina Metro Aviation programs Vidant EastCare and Mountain Area Medical Airlift (MAMA). In a matter of six months, Metro Aviation procured and refurbished three Airbus EC135P2+ helicopters for the AirCare program. Metro Aviation also hired and trained the pilots and mechanics to be provided, and completed comprehensive training for AirCare’s communication center personnel and medical crew. Metro Aviation begins providing aviation services for AirCare on Wednesday, May 2.
“We are thrilled to welcome AirCare to the Metro Family,” said Metro’s Director of Business Integration, Todd Stanberry. “The AirCare program shares our values and dedication to safety and we look forward to a long relationship.”
All pilots hired by Metro Aviation traveled to Shreveport for basic indoctrination and EC135 full- motion, Level D simulator training at Metro Aviation’s Helicopter Flight Training Center. “We greatly appreciate how engaged and enthusiastic the pilots were during the training process. These pilots sacrificed a lot of time away from their families,” said Metro Director of Operations Jim Arthur.
The three Airbus EC135P2+ helicopters were completed at Metro’s subsidiary, PAC International in Mount Pleasant, PA. The state-of-the-art EMS aircraft interiors include crew and attendant seats, Metro’s FAA-certified composite medical floor with a Ferno 28A-1 litter, and Metro’s FAA certified litter-load ramp system. The aircraft are also equipped with Outerlink’s IRIS satellite flight tracking and data monitoring system. Metro is in the process of procuring and completing a fourth and final EC135 for AirCare, which will serve as a fully dedicated backup.
The AirCare crew includes a pilot, flight nurse, and paramedic. The AirCare bases are strategically located in Davidson County, NC, Surry County, NC and in Henry County, VA to provide the fastest possible response to calls for critical care transportation. AirCare provides treatment and transportation for adult and pediatric patients with a variety of conditions.

The popularity of drones and the associated technologies [video cameras] has taken many by surprise. In fact new legislation [in many jurisdictions] has had to be introduced to try and set some limitations on how and when they can be used. As with many technologies how they end up being used is sometimes not the original intent of the inventor or manufacturer.
As a platform for video drones have provided a much simpler, cheaper and more readily available method of capturing footage that would otherwise be extremely expensive or even impossible to capture.

On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Their mission was to land on the moon, explore the Imbrium Basin, and to collect geological data. This was the third manned mission to the moon.
It was only two days later when the mission went wrong. On April 13 around 9:00 p.m., the crew heard an explosion that turned out to be their main oxygen supply, leading to the moon landing being canceled. Their main goal then became to get the crew of Apollo 13 back to Earth safely. This is when the famous phrase was sent back to Earth: “Houston we’ve had a problem here.”
In what could have been a terrible disaster, the crew of the Apollo 13 was able to rig a system that allowed them to make it back to Earth safely. It was very dangerous, as they had to cut out and ration essential life support systems, but they were able to use unsuitable backup systems to trek the 200,000 miles back to Earth.
They utilized the landing module’s systems to get them back home, when it was only meant to support two people for 45 hours. They needed it to support three astronauts for 90 hours or more. In order to succeed, they needed to cut down on both the temperature and the water intake. This meant the three crew members would be on one-fifth of their needed water for the return trip, and would suffer through temperatures barely above freezing.
They also had to overcome the landing module’s unsophisticated navigation system. The command module, the main craft and the one that experienced the main problems, had the necessary equipment to get them back to Earth. The landing module did not.
On April 14, the Apollo crew navigated manually around the moon, and back towards home. It took them three days to return home, using manual navigation along with using the sun to point their way. The small landing module engine was barely powerful enough to get them back to Earth, but in the end, it did the job.
While the mission was canceled due to the troubles with the command module, the Apollo 13 mission did do one thing well. It showed yet another hazard of space travel. In the 1960s and 1970s, as the Americans raced to beat the Soviets at the space game, many mistakes were made and many accidents occurred. It was with supreme skill and undeniable luck that the Apollo 13 crew made it back home. | aerospace |

The deal, which was unveiled during Embraer Business Meeting with the Aviation World in Port Louis, Mauritius, makes Air Peace the first to order the brand of jets in Africa.
The deal has also made Air Peace the official launch customer of the brand of the aircraft in Africa. The order comprises of purchase rights for a further 20 E195-E2 jets.
The aircraft is a 124-seater jet in dual class and 146-seater jet in single class configurations. With all purchase rights exercised, the contract has a value of $2.12 billion based on current list prices.
Air Peace also set a regional record in September 2018 when it ordered 10 brand new aircraft from Boeing, increasing its fleet size then to about 37 aircrafts. With the new order, Air Peace fleet size has increased to 67 aircrafts.
Shortly before the firm ordered the 10 brand new aircrafts from Boeing, Air Peace set a domestic record as the first Nigerian airline to acquire and register the Boeing 777 aircraft in the country.
The Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Allen Onyema, who spoke on the latest deal, said “Embraer’s new E195-E2 presents us with a marvel of economic performance. It’s also great that we will be the first E2 operator on the African continent. We already have the ERJ145s in our fleet, so we understand the high standards of Embraer products”.
He said the E195-E2 aircraft would strengthen Air Peace’s drive to deploy the right kinds of aircraft to underserved and unserved domestic and regional routes under its no-city-left-behind project.
The Vice President of Sales Africa, Embraer Commercial Aviation, Mr. Raul Villaron, who also spoke on the development said “Air Peace embodies the kind of pioneering spirit Embraer loves. The airline was established to bring highly skilled work opportunities to the people of Nigeria; boosting connectivity and the economy in the region. Air Peace has delivered on both aims, while at the same time, developing a fast-growing successful airline. It’s great to have them on board”. | aerospace |

Signals broadcasted by Global Positioning System are a good solution for aircraft navigation in remote areas where conventional ground‐based navigation means do not exist. In the world of avionics, more and more navigation guidance systems based on GPS are being developed. Very high claims in terms of accuracy, reliability, and integrity are required for such systems. But GPS alone cannot satisfy these requirements. For this reason, augmentation systems have been designed, which along with GPS receivers form state‐of‐the‐art navigation systems.

If you have been following our articles on the global helicopter mechanic shortage, then you know this is a very real and urgent situation for our industry. As with many issues that we face today, there are many possible ways to tackle a problem. Some are easy, some less so, some expensive and some are less expensive.
There is more than one way to deal with this shortage. In this article and a few others that will appear in future issues of HMM, we will talk with some individuals who have a helicopter mechanic apprenticeship program at their place of employment. It works for them and might work for your company, too.
What is an Apprenticeship?
An apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training (OJT) and related classroom instruction under the supervision of a journey-level craft person or trade professional in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly-skilled occupation. After completing an apprenticeship program, the worker’s journey-level status provides an additional benefit of nationwide mobility at journey level scale.
In my travels to schools that offer airframe and powerplant (A&P) or aviation maintenance technology (AMT) programs, I get asked one question more than any other: “All the possible employers that I have contacted want to know if I have at least three years of helicopter maintenance experience. I have my license, but how do I get that experience?” That is a great question and I don’t have a great answer. However, a partial solution might be a helicopter mechanic apprenticeship program.
One such company that is having great success with an aviation mechanic apprentice program is DynCorp International (DI). Its apprentice program is at McClellan Air Park, just outside Sacramento, CA. I use the term aviation mechanic rather than just helicopter mechanic as their apprentice program supports both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Having said that, let me turn it over to Jeff so that he can explain how their program is so successful.
There has been a slow, yet steadily increasing shortage of licensed, qualified mechanics to provide aircraft maintenance for the many different aircraft types operated by the U.S. military, as well as commercial airlines, business aviation and specialty aviation providers. This decline is moving like an unstoppable lava flow toward becoming a “critical mass.”
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), a specialty aviation provider, operates more than 50 aircraft for use in the suppression of wildland fires and has faced this challenge head on. CAL FIRE operates a mixed fleet of aircraft, 40 fixed-wing aircraft and 12 UH-1H “Super Hueys” rotorcraft. All maintenance work is contracted out to help them be mission ready and minimize costs at the same time. Its current maintenance provider is DynCorp International.
Due to the highly-specialized nature of the aircraft, finding mechanics that had previous experience performing maintenance on these aircraft types was, and still is, difficult.
“Most of the aircraft in CAL FIRE’s fleet are 1960s vintage aircraft that have been significantly modified,” sayes Tim Huber, operations manager for DynCorp International’s CAL FIRE program. “Most of the mechanics who are familiar with these airframes have long since retired.”
To help meet program goals, DI has developed a relationship with the Sacramento City College (SCC) aeronautics program. DI works with them to actively recruit current students and recently-graduated A&P program students. Location-wise, this is great for both students and graduates as CAL FIRE’s maintenance depot is conveniently located near the school.
The relationship was established with an initial goal. DI had an opening for a technician helper position and reached out to see if Sacramento City College had any graduates they could recommend. A recent graduate with an A&P license was recommended, interviewed and subsequently hired. DI was pleased with the new employee’s work ethic and overall knowledge, while CAL FIRE was pleased with the timeliness of getting another technician on site to get the fleet of aircraft ready for fire season.
After the initial hire, DI and SCC officials met to discuss common interests. DI wanted additional information about the aeronautics program, specifically the program class schedule. The SCC aeronautics program was interested in connecting students with potential employers after completion of the program. Both parties decided that a working internship program would be mutually beneficial.
“Our ongoing working relationship between Sacramento City College’s aeronautics department and DynCorp International’s CAL FIRE aviation program has been of great value to both DI’s CAL FIRE program and SCC’s aeronautics program,” says Phillip Cypret, the aeronautics department chairman at Sacramento City College, “but most of all to the aircraft mechanic students that have been fortunate enough to be selected by DI as mechanic helpers during the years. The mission of the aeronautics department is to train students with the skills and knowledge required of an aircraft mechanic, and to instill a sense of work ethic and responsibility that will ensure their success on the job.
“This is an excellent opportunity for our students,” continues Cypret. “When DI notifies the faculty that there are openings in the mentorship program, an announcement is made to students who are close to completing the program. The announcement talks about the schedule, the tasks and the commitment required. Interested students then contact the DI representative and express their interest in applying.”
CAL FIRE has been pleased with the program as well.
“There is a huge advantage to CAL FIRE in supporting a relationship between our maintenance contractor DynCorp International and the local Sacramento City College aeronautical program,” says Marty Buno, CAL FIRE’s director of maintenance. “The college has the ability to use this as an incentive program for their students to work hard in the program and succeed academically in order to be selected by the employer for this internship opportunity. DI wants to hire highly-motivated individuals who are well educated and place them in a mentoring program specifically designed to support their customer.”
For those selected, the working internship program is not an easy one. A typical day consists of reporting to the CAL FIRE maintenance depot between 6 and 7 a.m. and working until 3:30 p.m. The interns then head to class from 4 to 10 p.m. This happens every week day during the school year (typically from September to May). Interns can earn up to $20 per hour with the additional benefit of learning practical applications of aircraft maintenance.
Employees typically start as a technician helper with job duties including de-paneling aircraft, cleaning parts, re-stocking consumable part bins, sweeping floors and emptying trash. As the employees gain experience, they begin to perform hands-on work on the aircraft under the watchful eye of a lead technician. As openings become available, employees can be promoted to apprentice technician, journey technician, base mechanic, quality control inspector and, ultimately, lead technician. This promotional ladder provides a long-term career path for every employee.
“Getting an A&P license is a really good start for a career,” says Jon Robbins, CAL FIRE maintenance officer for the helicopter program. “By achieving FAA mechanic’s certification, an applicant allows us to focus on the person, their attitude and capabilities more than we might with a person who has 10 years of experience. With experienced people we tend to focus on how that experience might help us rather than how a person might fit with a program. Obviously, a solid program needs both things, but I find it really satisfying when a new mechanic earns the respect that comes from their willingness to learn, and gaining the perspective that comes from experience. Our obligation is to offer training that is hopefully as diverse as the A&P school offers. It’s hard to do.”
DI also provides financial assistance to its employees who participate in the SCC program, including tuition reimbursement, exam fees and oral/practical testing fees. The amount of financial assistance depends upon the grades and scores the employee earns in classes and on exams.
DI and Sacramento City College continue to refine and improve the apprenticeship program.
“The State of California ultimately benefits from the rewards of these partnerships by having highly-trained, safe and cost-effective employees performing the work on our wild land firefighting aircraft,” says Buno. “This process has developed a solid foundation for our maintenance program and is one of the reasons why we are the leader today within this industry.”

You’ll observe that that by understanding what you require, it enables you to decide on the drone which matches that. The drone is a lot larger than the Phantom and it’s heavier. Also, with the auto mode, it takes care of the flight so you can take care of the photos and videos. So if you have a camera-equipped drone and consider yourself an advanced or expert drone-flyer, below are some nifty approaches to earn some additional money doing the thing you adore! You will start with building your very own Multi-Rotor Drone and learn standard flight control on the simulator.
Drones are often accompanied with additional propellers, and you can get more extras independently, also. For example, some drones are made specifically for shooting 4K video and they’re also good in photography. Chancing upon a high quality drone at an affordable price isn’t hard anymore.
Professional Drones: the Ultimate Convenience!
Drones have the ability to fly and communicate real-time data straight to the scientists. For instance, some drones for professional applications have great cameras, so they’re the ideal option when it comes to aerial photography. Still, most drones created for professional applications are associated with aerial photography.
There are different kinds of drones for a myriad of situations, so make certain to think about the most important purpose for your drone buy. If you wish to upgrade a current drone or construct your own, aBuilding Your Own Dronesa gives the advantages and disadvantages of distinct varieties of drone motors and battery types. Even the most innovative drones require some overall knowledge if you prefer to prevent crashing or worse, losing your drone forever. Therefore, the advanced drones are offered for everybody nowadays. The drones we review are ready-to-fly models, so you may use them right from the box. Capturing the event by means of a drone permits a manner of remembering it in detail for those participants.
Not everybody wants to obtain a drone. Because of this people were crashing drones all of the moment, and it becomes expensive. Drones aren’t very difficult to fly, but a small learning curve is required when it has to do with the more affordable models. Getting a decent camera it can cost as much as a small car, so it’s important that you carefully consider your options before laying down that cash. Professional drones cost more, they’re heavier, but in addition they give far better videos and photos than every other drone. If you’re interested in buying a brand new expert drone, continue reading below to discover valuable info about the top five best models obtainable for 2018!
What Needs to be Done About Professional Drones
Well If you’re then a drone is a superb add-on to your filming arsenal. Drones with ordinary cameras ought to be avoided, on account of the fact they cannot record fantastic videos and the photos will be with low quality, so you maynot utilize them. So even when you intend on buying another drone in the forseeable future, the charger can do the job well for later too. With all the various makes and models readily available nowadays, it’s very important to consumers to come across the suitable drone for their precise needs.
The Advantages of Professional Drones
According to law, your drone must stay in sight in any way times. If you’re taking a look at camera drones, almost all of these will come prepared to fly. Buying a drone with a factory-installed camera is easily the most popular selection, if you’re hunting for a UAV which can be bought already ready to fly and capture pictures with the insignificant setup. If you’re searching for an amazing all-around camera drone, have a look at the Yuneec Q500 4K Typhoon.
Whispered Professional Drones Secrets
When it comes to flight range, it’s most effective to get a drone that may operate for miles without losing connection with the transmitter. The drone is quite stable and just needs 5 rotors to remain in the air so in case you shed a motor the drone will remain in the air. How to decide on it can be confusing since there are so many options. Like it or not, our favourite drones are the more compact consumer products which make up just a small part of the general drone industry. Locate the lowest rate on that ideal drone you’ve always wished to fly. Needless to say, not every little drone is a top flyer. The little industrial drones utilize Li-Po batteries that aren’t able to present a lengthy flight time. | aerospace |

The 60" Dare "Jenny" was designed in the old-school style of "stick & tissue" construction to build a light, economical model with simple 4 channel R/C and electric power that can easily be flown in smaller venues, but is large enough to be flown on conventional R/C flying fields.
The model, though relatively large because of its light wing loading, is a perfect size for flying in mid-sized parks and athletic fields. However, it is also IMAA legal, so can be easily flown on certified flying sites as well. Due to the light wing loading, this model is a very elegant and scale-like flyer.

The Curtiss JN-4D Jenny was first flown in 1916. Serving as WW-I Military Pilot Trainer, was instrumental in training pilots, in the U.S., Canada and Great Britain. Most Jenny's were unarmed, although some were equipped with machine guns and bomb racks and used for air combat and bomber training as well. Though used primarily for pilot training, a few were converted to ambulances and were the first airplane to serve in that role. Jenny's also served in the Army Signal Corps as well. After the war, Jenny's were sold as surplus in the civilian market and were used extensively for barnstorming. The Jenny was a large airplane with a 43' - 7.75" wingspan. It was a 27', 4" long, powered by a 90-hp Curtiss OX-5, V-8 engine. Gross take-off weight was 1,920 lbs, with a top speed of 75-mph, a cruise of 60-mph, and a service ceiling of 6,500 feet. | aerospace |

Called CarbSar, the mission will launch next year, and could help fill a gap in Britain’s spying capacity.
The satellite will use radar technology to see through cloud and will even work at night.
The Ukraine conflict has shown the value of such systems, which have been used to monitor Russian positions.
But Britain is the only permanent member of the UN Security Council without its own system.
The two UK companies – Surrey Satellite Technology Limited and Oxford Space Systems – believe they can provide a similar, home-grown capability.
They will start building their spacecraft this year – with government support – and with a launch on an American rocket already booked.
SSTL has a long-established reputation for aerospace manufacturing; the real novelty is in the OSS radar antenna.
It features a knitted tungsten wire mesh that’s folded tightly for launch but which will spring out once in orbit to form a large umbrella-like shape.
It’s through this 3m-wide antenna/reflector that the satellite will image the ground.
SSTL and OSS hope their CarbSar pathfinder will put them in a strong position to win future contracts to supply operational spacecraft to the UK government for both civil and military applications.
The government is keen to see what the knitted satellites can achieve. Part of the funding has come from the National Security Strategic Investment Fund, which backs promising technologies that might be used for national security and defence.
SSTL will build the bulk of CarbSar, including all the internal systems that drive the satellite, and the electronics that make the radar work.
OSS will provide its deployable antenna/reflector, a prototype of which is already going through testing at the company’s Harwell headquarters.
The firm calls the structure a “wrapped rib” design.
The gold-plated tungsten mesh is attached to series of carbon-composite rods which can be wound radially against a central hub.
The idea is that once released, the strain energy in these rods, or ribs, will naturally want to jump back into their straightened configuration, pulling the mesh into position in the process.
Think of the builder’s tape measure and how it always wants to snap longways when unrolled.
OSS has a big rig at its factory where it practices stowing and deploying the antenna, time and time again.
“You need it to be as simple as possible because the more parts you have the more chance there is for something to go wrong,” explains company CEO Sean Sutcliffe.
“It’s also got to work every time, so you need to make sure it has enough strain energy to know that it’s definitely going to come out fully – that it won’t stall half way through. But then you also don’t want the system to have so much energy that it tears itself apart or damages the satellite,” he told BBC News.
The mesh itself is remarkable – as is the process of manufacturing it.
The yarn is almost invisible. Reels of it feed the industrial knitting machine in the factory which is operated by a former fashion lecturer from Denmark.
Precision is everything. When the mesh is pulled tight it must conform to exacting standards.
“We’ve got a laser scanner and we scan the mesh before stowing and after deployment to check it hasn’t deviated from the parabolic shape. We’re seeking less than a millimetre’s deviation,” said OSS business development director Michael Lawrence.
The UK has talked for some years about having a network of radar satellites.
The Ministry of Defence has been promised money to procure them.
But the sensing technology is very useful also in civil emergency situations, such as monitoring the extent of flooding or finding evidence of landslips and subsidence.
Radar guarantees an image every time the satellite passes overhead because its vision is unobstructed by whatever the weather might be doing at the time.
SSTL launched a radar satellite of its own in 2018 but it is hoping the CarbSar model will have added appeal. For one thing, it should have much higher resolution, seeing objects less than a metre across. | aerospace |

In a span of 10 years, Shaw Air Force Base grew more than 24% in personnel, which came from military and local leaders working together to bring a quality of life to airmen and a handful of squadron units.
According to Air Force Magazine, Shaw had a total of 5,912 active-duty members under its wing in 2011. By 2020, that total grew to 7,376 active-duty personnel, noting that is one of the largest increases among U.S. Air Force bases in the world. That does not even count today’s total.
“During this timeframe, Third Army/U.S. Army Central relocated to Shaw, and the 25th Attack Group activated,” said Capt. Amanda Herman, 20th Fighter Wing chief of public affairs. “Additionally, units that had been here prior to 2011 saw growth.”
The 15th Air Force became the operational headquarters of six additional wings and three direct reporting units, Herman said.
The 9th Air Force (Air Forces Central) grew after its headquarters returned to Shaw from its previous position in the Middle East, according to Herman. The 727th Expeditionary Air Control Squadron — otherwise known as Kingpin — relocated from Al Dhafra Air Base, which is also in the Middle East.
To date, Shaw still holds the same official total as 2020, but some soldiers and airmen are currently deployed or geographically separated under Shaw’s command, according to Public Affairs. According to Herman, Army and Air Force personnel duty physically stationed at Shaw today totals about 5,800.
“Shaw Air Force Base is a hub of strategic power. Home to two U.S. Central Command components, U.S. Army Central and 9th Air Force, as well as our (20th Fighter) Wing and parent Numbered Air Force, 15th Air Force, we are one of the most important operational bases in the United States,” said Col. Kevin Hicok, 20th Fighter Wing vice commander. “As we have seen over the last decade, Sumter, known for its ‘Uncommon Patriotism,’ provides us unwavering support to our airmen, soldiers and families to help us remain mission-ready to meet national defense requirements.”
“Tasked to provide air superiority and combat-ready Weasels of every specialty across the globe, the 20th Fighter Wing is also responsible for providing base operating support to units administratively assigned to us, whether located here or geographically separated,” said Col. Lawrence Sullivan, commander of the 20th Fighter Wing. “Whether here or abroad, I am incredibly proud of our airmen who continue to collaborate and integrate across the joint spectrum to deliver warfighting capability.”
Behind the scenes of Shaw Air Force Base’s growth
In 2005, Sumter was threatened when the military went through a Base Realignment and Closure process, with Shaw being one of its marks. Knowing a closure of the base would destroy Sumter’s economy, its leaders collaborated with their military neighbors to bring several squadron units and operation expansions next door, promising a quality of living in return.
“When I left the mayor’s office in 2000, Joe McElveen, the new mayor, asked me if I could continue doing military affairs because we had been through base closure rounds,” said Steve Creech, who served as mayor for 12 years before McElveen. McElveen retired in 2020.
Creech got to work and contacted former 9th Air Force Commander Mike Moseley, who was at the time vice chief of the Air Force, knowing he saw potential in Shaw just like the community saw potential in Sumter.
“I can say I was maybe a little helpful,” Moseley joked about the base’s growth. “I think Mayor Creech and community base affairs guys were very, very credible and very helpful in explaining opportunities for growth and opportunities for community support of that growth.”
According to James Ellis, deputy chief of HQ ACC Basing, Force Structure & Total Force Division, the Air Force has a strategic basing process that determines a location for a mission set based on thorough analysis of each location, looking at the capacity, mission synergies, cost and environmental impacts.
He said the results of the analysis determine the best location for the mission, and Moseley knew Shaw was a perfect location.
Moseley soon implemented more mission operations under Shaw command, such as additional squadron units under AFCENT and building a home base for ARCENT in 2011, as the two historically have worked side by side, according to Moseley.
With those additions came room for growth and opportunity for the military as Shaw played a vital role in war missions for years and continues to do so.
“Each of those chapters was a different set of challenges and opportunities for Shaw Air Force Base and the community,” Moseley said. “Each of those represented a reset almost.” Along with Moseley’s work, the county’s leadership secured a military base protection field that gave Shaw even more room for growth without the threat of other development encroaching on the base.
“And an opportunity for growth as long as the community was ahead of that with inspired leadership and vision about how to protect the base and how to provide opportunities for growth. I would say it’s an ongoing partnership,” he said.
Moseley fell for Sumter’s opportunity and “uncommon patriotism” so much that he retired to Sumter’s Historic District after his military career ended in 2008.
“The partnership between the base and the county and city leadership is critical for this,” Moseley said about both the military base and Sumter. “If you do that along the way, then you’re ideally set with things happening, and opportunities present themselves.”
Sumter Mayor David Merchant said both the city and county will continue to protect the land around the base and keep Shaw operating for the sake of the community and for the sake of its military friends and neighbors.
“The city works daily with Shaw to help maintain Shaw’s presence in the state and world,” Merchant said. “With over $1.5 billion per year in economic impact on the Sumter community, this places them in high priority for current and future development plans.”

It discusses industry and technology trends currently prevailing in the market, along with drivers, restraints, challenges, and opportunities that influence the growth of the market. The drone software market is projected to grow from USD 5.1Billion in 2022 to USD 11.2Billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2022 to 2027. The drone software market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period. Increased innovations in drone software contribute to market growth in countries as India, China, South Korea, and Malaysia among others will drive the regional market growth in the upcoming years.
Based on solution, drone software is segmented into system and application software. System software is used to control the flight of a drone using a desktop computer or station. This software is generally used in the military sector, where there is a need to control a fleet of drones designed to perform complex tasks. System software has the same responsive interface as application software; and is loaded with more complex drone data analysis, mapping, and image processing features. This software is used in various industries, including military, construction, mining, logging, agriculture, real estate, and highway maintenance. The advanced features provided by system software are expected to result in increased demand for them. Pix4D SA (Switzerland) and FlytBase, Inc. (India) are some of the prominent companies that provide system software.
Application software for drones enables the user to control the flight from devices such as smartphones, tablets, or controllers. Being present on the site helps the drone pilot to make improvements in the flight path or flight pattern. Commercial drones are bound to a specific operational range, due to which a controller, mobile, or tablet can be easily used to control their operation. A majority of drone software are cloud-based and provide ease of access from any device. This enables users to view videos and pictures in real time. Application software is practical for drones that are used in remote areas or places where carrying a desktop station is not possible; for instance, surveying a hazardous material accident, water sampling using drones, or using drones in archaeology or wildlife photography.
As the number of active drones increases, the necessity to monitor and control several drones in close proximity will become increasingly important. Companies are offering dedicated servers and software for commercial and military applications. Military applications include drones to search a defined area, find missing persons or wounded soldiers, drop supplies, and patrol the perimeter to detect threats while commercial applications include drone light shows, among many others. Using the drone swarm software, one can easily control swarm drones with only one computer (without a distance limit) and check the video and flight information in real-time. Even if all swarm drones arrive late at the landing station, the software sees to it that the drones fly in alignment with a synchronized starting time at each stop to avoid collision risks. As there are dedicated servers, even in the event of a drone loss or computer malfunction, video information is automatically saved on the server.

The “organization” for building the Albree-Timson design aeroplanes was a series of legal partnerships and joint ventures that began in 1911. Since he was a youngster Norman Albree had an idea for accomplishing inherent stability in an aeroplane utilizing a unique gull type wing structure combined with a “flying tail” built as a one piece structural unit with fixed vertical and horizontal stabilizers. This tail section would be hinged to the rear fuselage and adjustable by the aviator and could be moved up and down to maintain longitudinal stability. Ailerons on the rear of the wings near the wing tips would provide lateral control and use to bank and turn the aircraft.
In October 1911 Albree came across a front page article in the Lynn Item newspaper announcing a new discovery in aeronautics by a local man, Roscoe P. Timson, This was possibly the long sought answer to providing inherent stability in an aeroplane. It was basically the same concept and methodology that Albree believed would solve the challenge of building an inherently stable aeroplane. Albree immediately contacted Timson. They met and discussed a joint project to test their jointly held theory that they felt was the “answer”. Timson had previously patented this concept and had spent considerable time and energy testing his theory with large scale model gliders. They agreed that now was the time to construct a full size aeroplane to confirm their belief that a scaled up aeroplane built with the design charceteritics of the Timson glider would have inherent stability in flight. They worked together to raise the money to build and flight test their first aircraft. With only modest success in their first flight attempts and with time and money growing short, Albree, still enthusiastic to move ahead, purchased Timson patent rights. Timson went his own way to design, build and market small personal monoplane aircraft in his garage at the end of Nahant Beach.
At this point in 1915 Albree, who had consulted and designed specialized equipment for the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company, asked that company to participate in a joint venture with him to build and sell aircraft. The European war would surely generate more interest in purchasing aircraft and related supplies from American companies and Albree believed there was a good chance to build a viable military aeroplane business. Roy and Fred Pigeon had the woodworking equipment, the skilled work force and the experience building specialized wood based products similar to the construction used in the aeroplanes of the day. They had built at least one aeroplane as a joint venture in 1911 and provided aircraft parts for other experimental aviation projects. They also had the production capacity available. Norman Albree and the Pigeon Company were 50/50 design, build and sales partners from late 1915 through 1918 and the end of World War 1.
The Planes : (All aircraft were monoplanes and all used the unique Timson-Albree flight control system utilizing a hinged flying tail)
Albree-Timson Model U Scout – “Harrowplane” 1914 - A gull winged tractor monoplane on twin floats
Albree-Timson Model U Scout 1914

Number built: 1
Single place, powered with a Curtiss OX-5 V-8 90 hp. engine, Span 45’4” Chord: 6’6”. (No other data is available)
Designed by Timson and Albree built in the winter of 1913-1914 at Swampscott in leased space in the New Ocean House Garage.
Final assembly, engine installation and flight testing was scheduled for June at the Burgess Company, Redstone Lane, Marblehead. Model U was funded by family members and constructed by Timson and Albree based on their inherently stable model glider designs. The first test flight was made by George Norman Albree in early June 1914 at Marblehead Harbor where a problem getting the floats up “on the step” for takeoff resulted in cancelling the day’s testing. A subsequent day’s flight test by Burgess Aviator Cliff Webster was not successful due to a lack of sufficent lift from the 45 foot gull wing to achieve takeoff. After making some modest corrections and changes Albree tried again on June 11, 1914 with a full power and an extended takeoff run, unfortunately after a struggle to lift off, the Model U rose up and then came down hard on the water and the Harrowplane was heavily damaged. Albree was injured and quickly rescued. The Model U was towed ashore, later the engine was salvaged and the airframe and floats were scrapped.

First Flight by Cliff Webster on July 13, 1915 at Nahant Beach, Nahant, MA
Number built: 1, Designed Oct. 1914, First flight July13, 1915
Single place, with a unicamber wing powered by a Hendee 7cyl. 50 hp. rotary engine, Span: 47’3”, Chord: 6’, Length: 20’9”, Height: 8’7”, Weight: 950lbs. Surfaces- in sq.ft. Wings: 197.8, Ailerons: 16.5, Tail: 48.5, Rudder: 9’8”. Aircraft Markings: None
First flown by contract aviator Clifford Webster of the Burgess Co. on July 13, 1915 at Nahant Beach. After the test flights by Webster; Norman Albree and Roscoe Timson made a series of short flights. This monoplane was designed with ailerons only for lateral control with an adjustable flying tail structure that was designed to act as an elevator unit with the vertical stabilizer to provide lateral stability. The Model G was tested through September 1915 with continuing output power problems with Hendee engine. The Hendee rotary rated at 50 horsepower was actually producing just 35 horsepower. Not surprisingly by mid 1915 the Hendee rotary, built in Springfield MA, had been discontinued and was no longer serviced or repaired by the manufacturer. The engine problems had extended the Model G flight schedule and the minor modifications recommended by aviators and mechanics who at least knew how to keep a Hendee running were the only help available. Flight and taxi tests were continuing to be made until finally arrangements were in place in October for it to be sent for U.S. Army testing and evaluation at Mineola, NY. Sadly enough after all this travail, when it was finally on its way to New York, the sole Model G was severely damaged in a railroad accident enroute. Some of the Model G hardware and other reusable parts were salvaged for the next time but the aircraft was a total loss.. Timson had decided at this point to go his own way and George Norman Albree now working with Roy and Fred Pigeon, was back at the drawing board.

Pigeon-Fraser* Model SG Pursuit -1917 - tractor monoplane land plane, Albree design.
Model SG Pursuit USAF Art Program Artist- Raymond Bayless
Number built: Two complete aircraft, plus one Model SG fuselage only, were ordered by U.S. Army April 17, 1917.
Single place, Span: 37’11”, Height: 8’5.5” Length: 24’, with General Vehicle- Gnome 9 cyl.100 hp rotary engine, Max. Speed: 103mph.
First aircraft Model SG- SC-#116 delivered in September 1917 and SG- SC #117 followed in November 1917. First flight: both were flown and successfully tested by contract pilots including Eddie Stinson, at Langley Field, VA. However there were no official flights authorized to be made for the U.S. Army acceptance process. The third Model SG order under the same contract was for a fuselage only, no engine to be provided and with instructions for it to be shipped to the Colt Arms Company, Hartford, CT. (Possibly for mounting and testing a machine gun installation) The SG fuselage was completed and shipped in the fall of 1917.
(Recognition notes: two Model SGs for the Army had their SC Serial #s: high on the vertical stabilizer for #117, and lower for #116).
Markings: U.S. Army standard aircraft wing star markings for 1917.
Upon Albree’s and his lawyer’s request for the official military flight and acceptance testing status at Langley Field; in January 1918 Model SG- SC#116 was stress tested to destruction however no photos or other records were made available. Albree filed a protest charging wanton destruction of U.S. Government property in regard to the two aircraft since he was advised that both were destroyed in the tests. Albree’s claims of the calculated, elimination and destruction of an innovative combat aeroplane continued in his continuing communications with War Department officials and Members of Congress without any resolution into the January 1918. However based on this series of complaints and a number high level meetings in Washington G. Norman Albree and the Pigeon Fraser Company were given a tentative order in January for two additional Model SG aircraft. Work was started at once on the SG #3 & #4 aircraft. Upon learning that the second original Model SG was still stored at Langley, Albree and the Army agreed that Mc Cook Field should perform an official Signal Corps /Air Service stress test of the Model SG #117. The aircraft was shipped to Dayton, Ohio in May 1918 and it too was destroyed in the structural testing program but it was professionally done and reported to have passed the test series. Norman Albree and his attorney accepted an invitation to witness the tests, attend a briefing at Dayton and examine the Army’s McCook records and photographs that were made available on the entire SG test program. The Army to finalize this issue with Albree and his influential Washington friends and supporters did agree to give Albree the option to construct a new aircraft at his own expense, using his patented control system. The Army would loan him a 100 hp. Gnome engine and officially flight test the new aeroplane with Army aviators at Hazelhurst Field at Mineola, NY at the Army’s expense. (See Model PG of 1918 below)

Model SG Pursuit--- Pigeon Fraser Serial #3 at Rhinebeck
Meanwhile a third Model SG #3, based on the Army’s tentative order while they were “under fire”, was being completed by Pigeon Fraser at East Boston. It was June and the Army based on locating the “missing” SG #117 and setting it up for official testing now cancelled the tentative order for two more Model SG aircraft. G. Norman Albree held that the Pigeon Fraser Company now owned and was responsible for the remaining Model SG #3. This is, we believe, the Model SG that later ended up with Cole Palen at Rhinebeck in the 1960s and was disowned as “not his” by G. Norman Albree in the 1970’s. The Rhinebeck Model SG is reported in museum inventories as serial number #3. If that Model SG is the third “tentative order Model SG” that never paid for, it is a logical and rational answer to the Rhinebeck mystery that puzzled George Norman Albree, Paul Garber at the NASM and many aviation historians.

Span: 36’ 5.5”, Height: 8’7”, Length: 21’ 1.5”, Chord: 5’9.5”, Wing area: 169’6”, Angle of Incidence: 2 degrees, with unicamber (flat undersurface) wings. Weight: Empty: 835lbs. Load: 400lbs., Powered by a General Vehicle-Gnome 9 cyl. 100 hp rotary engine with a full cowl,
This Model PG Pursuit was built at Albree’s expense specifically for a special “make or break” test program arranged with the U.S. Army. Model PG was a modified and streamlined Model SG and would be the final operational test of the unique Albree/Timson “Flying Tail” control system. Recognition note: Albree NO.9. on the vertical stabilizer.
Model PG was a completely new design with larger ailerons combined with an improved version of the patented adjustable control system. The first two days of test flights at Hazelhurst Field at Mineola, NY were successful but on the December 24th 1918 the third day of flight testing a second test pilot lost control in a sharp banking turn and spun into the ground at high speed. The pilot was killed instantly and the plane was completely destroyed. That was the last flight of any Albree aeroplane design. The Army’s accident investigation resulted in a verdict of pilot error. Contrary to his flight instructions the pilot had intentionally snap rolled the aircraft to the right without sufficient altitude to recover.
Although Albree was stunned by the loss of life and the complete destruction of his aeroplane he was determined to find out what actually happened and stayed at Hazelhurst Field though the crash investigation and met with the Army aviators and mechanics who worked on his No.9 and discussed at length the two days of flight tests with the first pilot that flew the plane. When he left he was resigned to move on from his life in aviation and left the field entirely without getting closure on the merits of his unique flight control system. Fifty years later in the 1970s he started corresponding with the Air Force Museum, and the National Air and Space Museum to find his place in American aviation history and revisit his theories’ of flight and hopefully to find the answers to the questions that were still troubling him.
*Note: the Pigeon Fraser Company was one of a group of subsidiary companies created by acquisitions that were maintained by the Pigeon Hollow Spar Company to separate marketing revenue, production cost accounting for their various product lines and specialty markets. These included a wide range of custom wood working products. Products such as: ship masts and booms, flagpoles, auto bodies, theatrical stage sets, dirigible control cars (for USN Model B pressure airships), aircraft spars, tail booms (for the USN NC- flying boats), power boat hulls, rafts, surfboards etc. The Army Signal Corps had insisted on a “company name” for the 1917 contract and the Pigeon Fraser legal entity was available and it was the name Albree and his partners Roy and Fred Pigeon agreed to use for the Army contracts.
Sources: The history of the Albree - Timson- Pigeon joint ventures in early aviation history was preserved and documented with the help of the Winchester and Swampscott Historical Societies, the Albree Family genealogical files at the New England Historical Genealogical Society. The information above is based on his business records, personal files and his correspondence with museums and aviation archives across the United States. WW1 Aero, Journal of the Early Aeroplane, articles and the Massachusetts Aviation Historical Society research files also contributed photographs, local newspaper records and U.S. Army Signal Corps / Air Service contract memorandums and official correspondence on the Pigeon –Fraser and Albree monoplane flight and construction evaluations.

Norwegian Air Shuttle owner and CEO Bjørn Kjos on Thursday apologized to all passengers who have had their holiday plans ruined by the airline’s recent cancellations.
Kjos said at a press conference that Norwegian was aware as far back as December that it would have too few pilots this summer. The airline CEO said that the pilot shortage and other factors such as aviation strikes in France have forced Norwegian to cancel a number of flights in the busy holiday season.
“When we have low staffing levels and the simultaneous strikes in France, that's when things go wrong,” Kjos said.
The CEO said that Norwegian is short on crew for two reasons. First, the airline discovered too late that it had planned too few pilot courses and second, the airline’s holiday buy-back agreement with pilots was scrapped after 14 years.
“We had not taken that into account,” Kjos said. “It has been absolutely terrible, and it's very unfortunate for those who have experienced cancellations.”
The airline owner said Norwegian will train 275 new pilots this year.
Late on Wednesday, the airline and pilot union Parat announced that they had agreed to a new agreement to solve Norwegian’s staffing shortage.
“We have finally arrived at a solution. We have signed an agreement for increased permanent staffing, and also the continuation of the agreement regarding the sale of holidays. We will increasing staffing with a significant number of permanent employees in Scandinavia,” Norwegian spokesman Tomas Hesthammer said.
“We encourage the pilots to sell their holidays so that we can safely get passengers on their way. Witnessing so many passengers struggle as of course taken its toll,” he added.
Norwegian cancelled at least 18 flights over the weekend, leaving many domestic and international travellers in the lurch just as the peak holiday travel season got underway. | aerospace |

The missile was designed to engage numerous aerial targets at the same time while ensuring a 100 percent hit rate, showing the weapon’s effectiveness under realistic operating conditions. The new variant of the missile, which was launched from the surface to the air, was successful in striking the enemy’s fictitious objectives.
Sapta Shakti Commander General of the Army Lieutenant General A S Bhinder, scientists from the Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), and senior army officers were in attendance during the testing, which had been taking place for the previous four days.
The Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO) created the ‘Made in India’ Akash missile system, which can be launched from mobile platforms and engage multiple targets at the same time from diverse directions.
“The improved missile was fired from a mobility platform,” according to an army official. The new generation missile is intended for use by the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the Indian Army in order to intercept aerial threats that are capable of high maneuverability. The Indian Army’s artillery will get stronger as a result of the missile, and the air defense system will become more stringent.”
The missile is capable of engaging numerous targets in real-time and has an intercept range of 40 kilometers. The missile guidance system, as well as the firing control system, have been improved, allowing for greater accuracy.
“The performance of the command and control system, on-board avionics, and aerodynamic configuration of the missile was successfully validated during the trial,” according to a defense source. During the test launch, a variety of range equipment, including radar, EOTS, and telemetry systems, were employed to track the missile’s route during its full flight path.” | aerospace |

One of 10 new NASA astronaut candidates grew up with rocket launches in his backyard.
Luke Delaney, 42, was born in Miami but grew up in DeBary, attending both DeLand and Deltona High School in Volusia County. He was among 10 candidates that will begin two years of training starting in January to gear up for future missions either to the International Space Station or on Artemis flights to deep space.
“I wanted to be an astronaut when growing up in Central Florida, got to see some launches, got some exposure to that,” Delaney said. “I think it was a big effort or big endeavor at the schools and elementary school, and you got a lot of exposure to those kind of things.”
Delaney joins current NASA astronaut Joe Acabá with Central Florida ties. Acabá, who once taught science and math at Melbourne High School in Brevard County as well as Dunnellon Middle School in Marion County, was chosen last year to be among NASA’s astronaut corps for its Artemis missions.
Other notable former astronauts with Central Florida ties include second man on the moon and Florida Tech professor Buzz Aldrin; moonwalker and commander of the first space shuttle mission John Young; and UCF graduate Nicole Stott who flew on the space shuttle and spent 91 days on board the ISS.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson welcomed Delaney and his fellow classmates at a ceremony Monday near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The 10 were whittled down from more than 12,000 applicants, and the first new class of astronaut candidates since 2017.
“Today we welcome 10 new explorers, 10 members of the Artemis generation, NASA’s 2021 astronaut candidate class,” Nelson said. “Alone, each candidate has ‘the right stuff,’ but together they represent the creed of our country: E Pluribus Unum – out of many, one.”
For the first time, NASA required its astronaut candidates to have at least a master’s degree in a STEM-oriented field.
Delaney is a retired veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, holds a degree in mechanical engineering from University of North Florida and a master’s degree in aerospace engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School.
“To me science, technology and math, all of those were areas of interest so it just made sense,” Delaney said. “The challenging part was just finding a way to navigate that path, and the military was just option I chose and it’s been quite a journey.”
While in service, Delaney flew combat missions as a naval aviator in the Asia Pacific region and in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He also flew as a test pilot to evaluate weapon testing systems, and served as a test pilot instructor. He has more than 3,700 flight hours on 48 models of aircraft.
His most recent work brought him to NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia where he served as a research pilot supporting NASA’s airborne science missions.
Delaney credits a math teacher for sparking his interest in STEM.
“There was one teacher from DeLand High School, Ms. Ebert, and she had a way of just bringing math and bringing it from a different perspective and motivating students and I think that really was something I just picked up on,” he said. “Her excitement and love for that was something I was really enjoying in the classes, and when I think back, that was really a turning point.”
As an astronaut, he could see his piloting skills applied in the future to the Orion spacecraft for lunar missions, or in the SpaceX Dragon or Boeing CST-100 Starliner commercial spacecraft for missions to the ISS.
But Delaney definitely has the moon on his mind.
“We’re looking at some potential deep-space exploration so going places that humans really haven’t been yet,” he said. “There’s a lot of uncertainty and inherent risk but it’s so exciting to think about what could be next, and what lies ahead for humanity. Those aspects excite me, so I’m looking forward to any moon missions or deep-space activities.”
Before then, he and the other candidates have to finish the training regimen that includes learning how to operate and maintain the ISS, training for spacewalks, developing complex robotics skills, safely operating a T-38 training jet, and developing Russian language skills.
The new class composed of six men and four women brings NASA’s astronaut corps selections to 360 since the original Mercury Seven were chosen in 1959.
Others in the class include Nichole Ayers, 32, a major in the Air Force and native of Colorado and one of the few women currently flying the F-22 Raptor fighter jet; Marcos Berríos, 37, a major in the Air Force who grew up in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico; Christina Birch, 35, a Gilbert, Arizona, native who holds a doctorate in biological engineering from MIT; Deniz Burnham, 36, a lieutenant in the Navy, from Wasilla, Alaska, with onsite drilling project management on her resume; Andre Douglas, 35, a Virginia native with several master’s degrees and doctorate in systems engineering who most recently worked at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab on maritime robotics, planetary defense and space exploration missions for NASA; Jack Hathaway, 39, commander and pilot in the Navy and native of Connecticut; Anil Menon, 45, a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force raised in Minneapolis who was the first flight surgeon for SpaceX during the NASA Demo-2 mission; Christopher Williams, 38, from Potomac, Maryland with a doctorate in physics from MIT; and Jessica Wittner, 38, a lieutenant commander in the Navy and native of California.
“Each of you has amazing backgrounds,” said former astronaut and NASA’s deputy administrator Pam Melroy at the ceremony. “You bring diversity in so many forms to our astronaut corps and you stepped up to one of the highest and most exciting forms of public service.”

Santo Domingo.- As a precautionary measure ahead of the anticipated passage of Tropical Storm Franklin through the Dominican Republic, several airports in the country, including the International Airport of the Americas (AILA), La Isabela, and La Romana airports, were closed, leading to the cancellation of 16 scheduled flights. These flights, both commercial and cargo, were supposed to arrive at AILA during the late hours of Tuesday and the early hours of Wednesday.
The Tourism Cabinet recommended this closure measure, and in adherence to it, AILA, La Isabela, and La Romana airports suspended their operations from 10 p.m. on Tuesday, with plans to resume activities at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
This decision resulted in the cancellation of all flights scheduled during that time frame, prompting the airlines to reschedule their flights accordingly. Siglo XXI Dominican Airports (Aerodom), the entity managing and operating six airports in the country, issued a statement highlighting the impacts of this measure.
Around 10 charter flights and two cargo flights were affected on Friday night, while two commercial flights and two cargo flights faced cancellation on Wednesday. Among the airlines, JetBlue was notably impacted, with three flights originating from Fort Lauderdale, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and New York, United States, canceled on Tuesday. Additionally, one flight from Boston on Wednesday was also canceled due to the closure of the airports. | aerospace |

This comes after Pentagon said the US military prepares to deploy an advanced missile-defense system to Guam to defend American military bases in the Pacific as a “precaution” following North Korea threats.
The DoD has announced that top defense officials approved the deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System, or THAAD, which includes a truck-mounted launcher, interceptor missiles, a AN/TPY-2 tracking radar and an integrated fire control system, Reuters reports.
Despite a successful long-range rocket launch in December, most experts believe North Korea is years from developing a genuine inter-continental ballistic missile that could strike the mainland United States. Hawaii and Guam would also be outside the range of its medium-range missiles, which would be capable, however, of striking US bases in South Korea and Japan. | aerospace |

Satellite communications ensure connectivity everywhere in the world, Earth observation data allows the monitoring of crop conditions and eases the adaptation to climate challenges, and satellite navigation enables precise position tracking of people and vehicles.
This new partnership will combine Copa-Cogeca’s expertise in the agri-food sector with ESA’s technical competence and its mandate through the Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) programme to support the development and demonstration of space solutions in addressing user needs.
Digital farming combined with space data can bring added value and business opportunities for European farmers and agri-cooperatives. The farming sector is already a frontrunner in the digital arena, ensuring data generated during the various stages of agricultural production can be collected, transferred, processed and analysed.
Christiane Lambert, President of Copa, who attended the signing said, “The EU farming community needs to ensure food security for a growing population, whilst also preserving nature and healthy soils, and protecting biodiversity. The use of digital and space technologies is already key for many of us, but it will become increasingly important for the strategic autonomy required by the European Union.”
Copa-Cogeca and ESA look forward to further developing this partnership. As a first step, ESA has opened a dedicated Call for Proposals entitled ‘The Sustainable Transformation of Agriculture Through Digitalisation and Space’. | aerospace |

On Monday, the rocket was erected on its launch pad on the Naro House Middle on the southern coast of South Korea. The take a look at had been scheduled for final week, however was scrubbed within the hours earlier than launch due to an issue with an oxidizer tank sensor.
Officers will resolve Tuesday afternoon whether or not to proceed.
The three-stage KSLV-II Nuri rocket, designed by the Korea Aerospace Analysis Institute (KARI) to finally put 1.5-ton payloads into orbit 600 to 800 km above the Earth, is a cornerstone of the nation’s plans to jumpstart its area programme and obtain bold targets in 6G networks, spy satellites, and even lunar probes.
Political Cartoons on World Leaders
It makes use of solely Korean rocket applied sciences, and is the nation’s first domestically constructed area launch automobile. South Korea’s final booster, launched in 2013 after a number of delays and several other failed checks, was collectively developed with Russia.
Nuri is vital to South Korean plans to finally construct a Korean satellite-based navigation system and a 6G communications community. The nation additionally plans to launch a variety of army satellites, however officers deny that the Nuri has any use as a weapon.
South Korea can also be working with the USA on a lunar orbiter, and hopes to land a probe on the moon by 2030.
House launches have lengthy been a delicate subject on the Korean peninsula, the place North Korea faces sanctions over its nuclear-armed ballistic missile programme.
In March, South Korea’s army individually oversaw what it mentioned was its first profitable launch of a solid-fuel space-launch rocket, one other a part of its plans to launch spy satellites.

The 1,425-kg satellite, IRNSS-1G, will be launched at 12.50 p.m. from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The countdown for the launch of the satellite aboard the PSLV C33 began at 9.20 a.m. on Tuesday. The integration of the rocket on the launch pad and the propellant filling operations will be taken up at different stages during the 51.30-hours countdown.
A regional navigation satellite system with just seven spacecraft and in civil domain is unique to India. IRNSS will be to the subcontinent what the GPS is to its users worldwide, but with far greater precision and in Indian control, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation. It is expected to provide position accuracy of better than 20 m over Indian region and also an area extending up to 1,500 sq. km around India.
The well-known GPS is owned by the U.S. Air Force and Russia has GLONASS as its own navigation sysetm. China is expanding its regional BeiDou into a global system, also operated by its military and Europe’s GALILEO is a civil global system which will be made functional by 2020. They each have between 28 and 35 satellites.
IRNSS will drive both everyday uses as a 24/7 standard service for air, sea, ship transport among others and will also be used for military and missile-related applications as an encrypted and restricted service. IRNSS-1G is slated to be flown on the homegrown launcher, PSLV C33, from the Sriharikota launch port in coastal Andhra Pradesh. It will be the 35th PSLV flight in the last two decades. Over the next three to six months, all the IRNSS satellites in the fleet would be stabilised as a constellation, their signals and performance verified and later put to use. | aerospace |

Domestic capacity also decreased significantly, with similar levels of decline also down 90 per cent . This follows greater than 30 per cent growth in international aviation capacity over the last five years. At the end of 2019, there were approximately 59 international airlines and 1,929 international flights into Australia per week, which equates to 27 million seats.
Recognising that the health of the aviation environment is integral to the success of Australia’s tourism industry and to ensure the tourism industry bounces back from the COVID-19 crisis in a sustainable manner, Tourism Australia has drafted an aviation recovery strategy to incentivise carriers to re-establish aviation routes between Australia and key markets through commercial partnerships.
Tourism Australia will lead a ‘Team Australia’ approach with the involvement of airports, STOs, Austrade, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications, and the Department of Home Affairs.
The path to recovery will involve key phases, including capturing existing international demand through destination marketing, building aviation capacity and growing air frequencies. The goal of the strategy is to restore key international routes to Australia as soon as possible. Domestic aviation routes that are critical to the tourism industry will be an immediate focus. Tourism Australia and its partners will target key routes and tourism destinations to ensure Australia has an extensive offering of tourism experiences for domestic and international visitors as soon as timing allows.

EBACE is the only European event focused solely on the business aviation community, and Gulfstream is proud to showcase the benefits of its world-class aircraft at the annual event.
The large-cabin G450 will arrive in Geneva with a significant milestone on board—Gulfstream recently delivered the 300th G450, nine years after the aircraft entered service in May 2005. With the ability to accommodate 12 to 16 passengers, travel 4,350 nautical miles/8,056 kilometers with eight passengers and cruise at speeds up to Mach 0.88, the G450 can handle domestic and international flights with ease.
The G450 also offers the most comfortable and comprehensively equipped cabin in its class with three seating areas, a full-size galley and a large baggage area, which can be accessed in-flight. Its cabin environment is 100 percent fresh air, with a 6,000-foot/1,829-meter cabin altitude and quiet sound levels. Gulfstream’s signature oval windows allow for abundant natural light.
Gulfstream’s in-service European fleet has nearly doubled in the last six years, evidence of the growing demand for business aircraft. Large-cabin aircraft make up the majority of the European fleet, with more than 150 in service. With the G450 and its sister ship, the G550, Gulfstream has dominated the large- cabin market for the past decade. The range of the G450 allows the aircraft to fly such nonstop trips as Munich to Delhi or Berlin to New York. The G550 easily links Munich with Cape Town and Singapore and Berlin with Los Angeles and Tokyo.
Also at EBACE will be the company’s newest aircraft, the G650 and G280. Both offer best-in-class fuel efficiency and can quickly and efficiently link Europe with cities around the world. The ultra-long-range, ultra-high-speed G650 is the world standard in business aviation. It can fly faster, farther and more comfortably than any other business aircraft in its class. The super-mid-size G280 boasts the longest range at the fastest cruise speed in its class and has the ability to access some of the most difficult airports in the world.
For continental travel, the mid-size G150 provides the most value in its class and also provides some optimum city pairs itself—as a testament to its abilities, a G150 test aircraft set a city-pair record on a flight from Tel Aviv to Geneva.
As many business leaders know, success can be attributed to business aircraft, which saves one of the world’s most elusive assets, time. Gulfstream offers that advantage and more with its range of options and world-class performance. | aerospace |

Blue Dart Aviation
Blue Dart Aviation Ltd. was incorporated in May 1994 as a 100% subsidiary of Blue Dart Express Limited, and launched its operations with a fleet of 2 Boeing 737-200 freighters on the 17th June 1996. Blue Dart Aviation Ltd. was created primarily to support the growing demands of Blue Dart Express Ltd. In an express industry where growth, year over year, consistently exceeded 35%, the management viewed the delivery capabilities of the domestic airlines inadequate and a limitation to the explosive growth of air express.
The restricted day flights and capacities oriented to passenger requirements were not consonant with the demands of the express market, which is committed to morning deliveries that rely on guaranteed space and late night operations. Taking a cue from the enormous success of the U.S. express industry, which started with a 4% share in 1977, averaged a compounded annual growth rate of 25% and progressed to claim close to 60% of the U.S. market, Blue Dart Express Ltd. made a path-breaking decision to create its own infrastructure and buy its own aircraft. It set up the first domestic freighter operations in India.
The night operations were designed to meet the specific needs of the business community as they focused on late night cut-offs and early morning deliveries. Shipments originating from a city at the end of the business day could arrive before the start of the next business day at their destinations. Customers could now rely on air capacity that was focused to service business needs and not passenger travel schedules.
A third aircraft was inducted into the network in February 2001, to meet increased customer demand. A fourth aircraft was acquired in June 2003 to augment capacity and connect a sixth aviation hub, Hyderabad, and a fifth aircraft was inducted in December 2004, to support Blue Dart's future expansion plans.
Two Boeing 757 freighters have been inducted into the network from June 2006, and Ahmedabad has been connected as the 7th aviation hub. Hyderabad was been connected as an outbound gateway to the rest of the country with an additional flight.
Today, Blue Dart Aviation has a fleet of six Boeing 757, providing a network payload of 504 tonnes across 74 route connections each night.
Blue Dart Express Limited has divested 60% of its shareholding in Blue Dart Aviation Ltd. on 11th March 2005, and Blue Dart Aviation has since been contracted to provide dedicated services to Blue Dart Express Limited.
Blue Dart Aviation Ltd. has many firsts to its credit:
- The first Indian-manufactured main deck loaders at all its 5 on-line stations - Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and Kolkata in 1996. The specs were provided by Blue Dart Aviation, and design and manufacture undertaken by a Coimbatore-based manufacturer, MAK Control, in a 4-month period at less than 20% of the cost of the international equivalent.
- In collaboration with the Madras Institute of Technology, it has developed the only Indian software for handling of the Load and Trim Sheet, STAB (System of Trimming and Balancing), curtailing handling time by 80%. It has also developed the following software applications, in-house, that have resulted in improved safety standards, enhanced efficiency in daily operations, better time-management, lower manpower costs, and cost-savings in operations because of increased fuel efficiency:
- SALIM (System for Aircraft Logistics Inventory Management).
- FUSION (Flight Updating, Scheduling, Inquiries and Operational Notes).
- SODA (System of Digital Flight Data Recorder Analysis).
- VINDAS (Voice Integrated Data Analysis System) - integrating the cockpit voice recorder in real-time with the Digital Flight Data Recorder.
- Its own maintenance capability to clear aircraft through the D-Check level.
- Warehouses at all the 7 airports are equipped with X-ray machines, making it the only private operator capable of accepting freight without the requisite cooling-period for security.
- Bonded warehouses with customs personnel to enable transhipment of cargo within India. Established at substantial initial investment to the company, this facility has enabled distribution of imports within the country, has provided exports access to and from the gateways of international airlines, and resulted in returns for the organization. Given the high operating costs and decreasing yields, this facility provides international airlines a cost-effective option to restrict their on-line stations and enhance their marketing possibilities by utilizing the distribution capabilities of Blue Dart Aviation.
- India's first Boeing 757 freighters.

Since the size and brightness of Mars in the night sky both decrease when it is far away from us, this marks the moment when it will appear smallest, measuring a mere 3.5 arcsec in diameter. However, in practice, it will be rather too close to the Sun for observation, at an angular separation of only 5.860936909828343° from it, as it will be close to solar conjunction.
The exact position of Mars at the moment it passes apogee will be:
