• 51-16467 USAF #1036. L-20A No: 37.Command AF-1. Available and accepted on 29-Feb-1952. Delivered 20-Mar-1952.
• 51-16467 Stored at MASDC., Davis Monthan AFB., AZ. Arrival date unknown Inventory code HS???.
• 51-16467 US Army from late 1966 / early 1967.
51-16467 was made available and accepted on 29-Feb-1952 by the AMO (Air Material Overseas) unit of the USAF at Downsview then initially delivered from Toronto to the Air Research and Development (ARD) Command at Kirtland AFB., with the 4901st Support Wing from 20-Mar-1952 to 01-Apr-1952. Still with the ARD and the Special Weapons Wing (SPW) it moved between Indian Springs with the 4935th Air Base Squadron and the 4901st Support Wing at Kirtland a couple of times until 10-Aug-1954 when it moved to the Air Material Command at Norton AFB., California until 03-Sep-1954.
A move back to the SPW at Indian Springs with the 4935th Air Base Sqd. followed prior to a transfer to Kirtland, the Air Force Material Command and the SPW with the 4900th Air Base Group between 19-May-1955 and 01-Jun-1956.
A trip back to Toronto, presumably for updates lasted from 31-May-1956 until 29-Jun-1956 and then a return to the ARD and the Special Weapons Wing with the 4900th Air Base Wing from 29-Jun-1956 – 13-Jul-1956, then back to Indian Springs and the 4935th AB Sqd. from 13-Jul-1956 – 08-Aug-1956 and again to Kirtland, 4900th AB Wing from 08-Aug-1956 – 31-Aug-1956.
Indian Springs features again in the story with the 4950th Test and Evaluation (TE) Group from 31-Aug-1956 – 07-Feb-1957 , still with the ARD and SPW, with a transfer over to the 4935th Air Base Sqd. between 08-Feb-1957 – 20-Feb-1957.
A move over to Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico and the Holloman Air Defence Centre (HLDC) lasted from 14-Mar-1957 – 15-Oct-1957 with the HLDC becoming the Air Force Missile Development Centre (MDCCE) on 01-Sep-1957.
The next posting was back to Kirtland still with the Special Weapons Centre from 15-Oct-1957 – 05-Mar-1958 before a move abroad to the Pacific Island of Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands. Eniwetok AFB was a Special Weapons Centre base testing Atomic Weapons. This posting lasted from 05-Mar-1958 until 17-Sep-1958 followed by a return to the US mainland and McClelland AFB, California and the Air Material Command with the Sacramento Air Repair and Overhaul Centre from 17-Sep-1958 – 20-Feb-1959.
A further return to the Special Weapons Centre at Kirtland followed for a month 20-Feb–20-Mar-1959 before going to St. Paul AFB and the North American Corporation Maintenance Facility unit until delivered to Indian Springs from 31-Jan-1960 – 09-Oct-1960. A change of Command was next to the Tactical Air Command (TAC) and the 4520th Combat Crew Training Wing at Nellis AFB, Nevada between 09-Oct-1960 and 10-Sep-1963. The aircraft was re-designated U-6A in 1962.
A return to the Special Weapons Centre, firstly at Kirtland and then Indian Springs, took its history up to 15-Feb-1964.

With its line of piston aircraft, it also has a dedicated flight training concept with its single-engine piston (DA40 NG) and multi-piston engine (DA 42 VI) trainers along with type-specific flight training simulators and proprietary engines.
Diamond is the leading source provider in the fleet training market.
Diamond is considered to be the best aircraft manufacturer for aviation training because of its “Safety Concept”.
Safety is the most critical feature in the aviation training business.
Diamond has earned a safety record backed by real-world data. The primary goal for diamond is to build an aircraft that is pleasurable to fly but is safe and provides maximum protection in worse-case situations
To accomplish safety by design diamond aircraft follows two safety strategies Active and Passive safety.
Active Safety refers to all the features and characteristics of an aircraft that help pilots avoid an accident. These include:
· unparalleled visibility
· agile yet forgiving flight characteristics
· continued controllability through a stall
· positive stability
· superb runway and climb performance
· high crosswind capability
· system and structural redundancy
· comfortable pilot workload
· reliable power
· the latest in avionics technology (integrated glass cockpit and digital autopilot)
Beyond that, active safety includes the matching of an aircraft design to its intended mission and pilot capability. Diamond’s high-performance aircraft offer ice protection and twin-engine safety, yet are easy to fly with simple single lever power controls.
Passive Safety features are the second line of defence and help minimize the probability and degree of injuries.
Passive safety elements include:
· structural integrity of the cabin under crash loads
· effective occupant restraint
· impact energy absorption
· unobstructed head strike zones
· flammable fluid fire protection
Diamond Aircraft's Safety Cell
Diamond aircraft incorporates an integral cabin surrounding a composite “roll cage” structure, which is stiff and strong to provide survival space and protection in case of impact. A Diamond aircraft’s non-critical structure is allowed to fail to help absorb crash energy while the cabin structure is designed to resist crushing and penetration to afford maximum occupant protection.
Diamond performs dynamic crash tests not only of seats, but of the entire fuselage cabin structure to test structure, seats, and restraints as one system. Details, such as breakaway glare shields, and maintaining distances between heads and rigid structures, further enhance survivability.
Flammable Fluid Fire Protection
Diamond takes special measures to minimize the probability of post-crash fires.
Typical in aviation are light, but fragile, rigid thin-walled aluminum fuel lines. While these tubes are used in many other aircraft, they, unfortunately, rupture easily in a crash when supporting structures are deformed. To help prevent this, Diamond uses only tough flexible stainless steel braided high-pressure fuel lines that move with the deforming structure and have vastly superior strength and rupture resistance. They weigh and cost significantly more, but they are critical - and therefore worth it - to prevent fuel leaks.
Industry-leading Safety Record
Diamond’s designs have achieved an impressive and consistent safety record over many years and millions of hours flown worldwide.
Diamond Aircrafts are exhilarating to fly, with responsive controls, comfortable cockpits and impeccable performance. With Safety, great handling qualities, stability, responsiveness, excellent runway and climb performance, they are fast, yet fuel efficient, quiet, smooth and forgiving. Diamond aircrafts are cost efficient and reliable and provides with a flying experience that one has never had before under low maintenance costs. All these features make Diamond aircraft the best aircraft for Aviation training. Kasstech Aerospace Pvt LTD is the sole sales representative of Diamond aircrafts in India, We help our customers buy the best aircraft as per their requirements. We have also served various flying schools in India with our services. More than 55 Diamond aircrafts are flying in the Indian sky today.

Bill and Wilda Yancey had been married exactly six months when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
The couple attended church that Sunday morning, then visited the officer's club at Key Field in Meridian, Miss, where Yancey, a U.S. Army Air Corps pilot, was stationed.
Yancey, who graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1937, was in Meridian as a member of the 50th Fighter Group, a training unit that prepared pilots for combat.
When Yancey went back to the club to retrieve his hat, his wife, now waiting in the car, turned on the radio and heard the news.
“I didn't know where Pearl Harbor was,” she said.
Her husband hadn't heard of the place. In fact, no one they talked to on the base in Meridian, Miss., knew exactly where the U.S. had been attacked.
Two days later, busloads of pilots and flatcars filled with airplanes rolled into the air base.
Yancey and another lieutenant trained these young, inexperienced pilots, but the instruction time was limited. The U.S. needed to get these men into combat as quickly as possible.
The P-38 pilots got a quick course in fighter flying before being sent into battle. After a couple of times up in the air, the pilots were pushed out of the nest, so to speak.
“Once they took off twice, then we let 'em go,” he said.
In 1943, Yancey assumed command of the Kissimmee Army Air Field in Florida — and the 349th Night Fighter Squadron.
The squadron was part of the first night fighter unit established during the war. The squadron later moved to Hammer Air Field in California.
“We had them fly off of instruments at a certain altitude,” he explained.
The windows of the aircraft were covered, so the pilots couldn't see out. They could only rely on their instruments, while taking directions from trainers on the ground.
“We had them pretty close to the hills,” Yancey said.
In early 1945, Yancey was stationed in China with the 14th Air Force, eventually assuming command of the 3rd Fighter Group in North China, where he remained for the rest of the war.
After the war, while stationed at March Air Force Base in Riverside, he began working on a top secret project — the U-2 spy plane.
So secret, his own family had no knowledge of what he was up to Monday through Friday.
“He said, ‘Honey, I can't tell you where I'm going or what I'm doing,'” she said. “I didn't know for four years.”
It turns out he was spending his weeks working at a dry lake bed located near Las Vegas.
Yancey learned to fly the ultra-long-winged U-2 aircraft and flew it on test flights high above the desert ... higher than any plane was able to fly up to that point in time.
Airline pilots, who, like everyone else, had no knowledge of these new, high-flying aircraft, frequently called in to report UFO sightings, he said.
Yancey trained pilot Francis Gary Powers, who was shot down while on a spying mission over the Soviet Union in May of 1960. He was able to parachute out but was captured by the Russians. He was eventually returned to the U.S.
“They traded him for a Russian spy,” Yancey said.
During those Cold War years, Yancey slept with a red phone by his bedside.
“When that phone rang, it meant I better answer it as quick as I could,” he said.
After the Yanceys moved to the desert, he became the first tournament director for the Bob Hope Classic in 1966.
The Yanceys are members of El Dorado Golf Club and in the mid- to late 1960s, Bill Yancey said he played a couple of rounds with President Dwight D. Eisenhower, a former World War II general.
“I beat him,” Yancey said. | aerospace |

I am the Director of the Scottish Centre of Excellence in Satellite Applications, and a Non-Executive Board Member of the UK Space Agency.
I was awarded the 2016 Royal Society of Edinburgh Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane Medal in recognition of my “outstanding research work in the development and application of space mission systems to challenge conventional ideas and advance new concepts in the exploration and exploitation of space.”
Distinctively for an engineer, my publications are in journals such as Scientific Reports, and Physical Review E, as well as top-ranking engineering journals. I also led the development of “The International Handbook of Space Technology”, which has sixty contributing authors, including high-profile contributors from Japan, the USA and Europe.
I was the only non-US member of a National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s committee on ‘Achieving Science Goals with CubeSats’, and I am one of only two European Associate Editors of the Journal of Guidance, Control and Dynamics, the top-ranked archival journal in Aerospace Engineering. I am a member of Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) Study Group on ‘Small Satellites for Space Sciences’, as well as providing expert advice to, amongst others, the Institute for Defense Analyses, Science and Technology Policy Institute, based in Washington, D.C.
Distinctively my work spans both the upstream space sector (building and operating spacecraft), and downstream space sector (the services and data that come from the spacecraft). With a focus on the end-to-end development and application of space mission systems my work enables new space-derived data product concepts through advances in space technology.
My specific interests are in the use of advanced concepts, such as solar sailing, and multi-spacecraft platforms to enable new space services through the application of concepts from networked systems and swarm engineering, combined with astrodynamics and space system design. The recent development of small, low-cost spacecraft has led to increased interest in deploying large or even very-large constellations of spacecraft to enable new space-derived datasets and services. To-date, this remains challenging due to the limited resources on-board such platforms coupled with the limited payload capacity. By spanning the up and downstream my fundamental research is developing the means to maximise the performance of these resource-limited, low-cost platforms to enable radical enhancements of, or completely new space-derived services and data. As such my research seeks to develop concepts in, and applications of space technology, including solar sailing, nanosatellites, and constellations, by developing research into astrodynamics, networked systems, swarming, and distributed and collaborative systems.

Components in rocket thrusters used to boost satellites into Earths orbit have to withstand exceptionally tough operating conditions; for example, functioning in harsh oxygenated environments at temperatures of around 1,000°C for extended periods.
We were approached by DELTACAT, a spin-off company from the University of Southampton, to engineer an innovative design of injector nozzle for a new trial rocket thruster. Due to the harsh operating environment, the injector had to be manufactured from Inconel 625. This is a super-alloy produced from austenitic nickel-chromium, containing percentages of molybdenum and niobium, which is designed to maintain its tensile strength at temperatures that would render other metals pliable.
Manufacturing parts from Inconel using conventional machining techniques can, however, be a tough challenge. The hardness of the metal has the potential to deform or break cutting tools, while under extreme conditions the machining process can degrade the surface properties of the base metal.
Traditional engineering methods
With a traditional machining approach, producing the freeform injector shape would require multiple setups on a 5-axis CNC mill, with at least one operation on an EDM machine. This is time consuming and, even with the unrivalled experience of our machinists, carried the risk of tool-breakages and higher cost. Alternatively, the nozzles could have been produced in two sections and vacuum brazed together. Although this option would reduce machining time the braze would have been of different material, creating a potential weakness along the seam, with the risk of failure in service – clearly, this is an unacceptable risk in a critical satellite component.
Metal Additive Manufacturing offers a solution
Although each injector nozzle had a relatively simple design, it lent itself well to production using additive manufacturing technology, enabling multiple parts to be easily printed simultaneously in Inconel 625. Additionally, the flexibility of the additive manufacturing process enabled our engineers to work with the team from DELTACAT to optimise the design of the injector nozzles for manufacture without compromising their performance characteristics. This helped to reduce overall time and cost.
Using our advanced Renishaw metal additive manufacturing system, we are able to produce each injector nozzle in a single piece, thus eliminating any weak points. The nozzle was also designed to be built without any support structures, which dramatically reduced the post-build finishing required. The parts only needed to be wire cut from the platform and then inspected before delivery.
Cost and time saving
The ability to create the injector nozzles in Inconel 625 using additive manufacturing played an important role in reducing overall production time and unit cost for DELTACAT. Perhaps as importantly, our ability to provide detailed technical advice and support throughout the project, together with our knowledge of Inconel machining, helped the customer optimise both the design of and in-service performance of each part.

ERL: The lowest level in the atmosphere from which infra red radiation is able, on average, to escape upwards to outer space without being reabsorbed
As concentrations of absorbing gases such as CO2 are increased, the ERL rises, decreasing the total mass of air above and keeping the opacity of that air constant.
The intensity of the radiation emitted to space increases with the temperature at the ERL
In the long run the solar energy absorbed at the earth’s surface must be compensated by emission to space of infra red radiation. Emission from the surface alone cannot do this, because the atmosphere as a whole is largely opaque in the infra red, implying that such radiation would be absorbed at higher levels. As one moves upward, the amount of matter absorbing infrared radiation between oneself and outer space decreases rapidly, both because the mass of air above is less and also because the concentration of water vapor in that air also decreases. At some height most radiation emitted upwards makes it to outer space without being reabsorbed on the way. This height (in practice around 8-10 km) is called the Effective Radiating Level. It is idealized as representative of a band of heights that all vary in a similar manner. | aerospace |

|FOCUS (Foam Casting and Utilization in Space)
WHAT IS FOAM: Foams have 80 upto 98 % porosity. The gas phase is dispersed and the structure of foam (wall) can be liquid and solid state as well. The structure of foam can be made from plastics, metal, ceramics, aqueous suspensions, organic materials and several others. Examples: bone, ice cream, bread, foam bath, sponge, filters, polyfoam.
THE EXPERIMENT: During the experiment the astronaut fix the box that contains the cartridges. With a simple movement the illumination system is switched on and the foams start to grow. When the amount of foams approach a given level the astronaut stops
the foaming and observes the structure changes.
THE WAY OF EXPERIMENT HARDWARE : The experiments carried out on the board of ISS. The experiments needed late access because of the short shelf-life. The final assembly was in Baikonur in Kazahstan a few hours before the launch and the cargo pouch installed into Progress. The launch was 3rd of February, 2010 (36P). After the 3 days long journey, docking and unpacking the experiments were done in a few days. The experiment container fixed on the wall of
Columbus module with the help of seedseat track. The astronaut needed
3 hours to perform the experiments. During operation a large number of photos were taken and these were the only things that came back on Earth.
THE AIM of the project is to study the foaming process and foam stability in aqueous system under microgravity in order to establish the development of metal foam production technology. The innovation is the foam generator that is the key of our success. The behaviour of this important part and the evolved foam has to be observed for 2 hours in microgravity and this requires the experiments on board of the International Space Station (ISS). The details of this project are confidential.
SURE: (International Space Station: a Unique REsearch infrastructure) project was an opportunity for scientists and SMEs in new EU Member States to do research on the ISS. The selection of proposals was made by ESA and 10 from 32 were granted. The best industrial proposal was written by Admatis Ltd and 3 other winners were Hungarian. SURE project is fully funded by EC under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). | aerospace |

The increased heat is causing the atmosphere to expand,
which means that there is more space for satellites to collide with each other.
Additionally, the increased heat is causing the atmosphere to become more turbulent,
which makes it more difficult for satellites to maintain their orbits.
In 2022, there were 1,800 active satellites in orbit around Earth.
This number is expected to increase in the coming years,
as more and more countries and companies launch satellites into space.
The increased number of satellites will only increase the risk of collisions.
A collision between two satellites could have a number of consequences.
It could damage or destroy the satellites involved, which could disrupt the services that they provide. | aerospace |

During this little earthly vacation, the gray bearded Wiley Coyote spent 33 hours on the moon. February 5th, He brought out a makeshift 6-iron and became the first person to play a sport on the moon. His sport of choice was, of course, golf!
Houston, while you’re looking that up, you might recognize what I have in my hand as the handle for the contingency sample return; it just so happens to have a genuine six iron on the bottom of it. In my left hand, I have a little white pellet that’s familiar to millions of Americans. I’ll drop it down. Unfortunately, the suit is so stiff, I can’t do this with two hands, but I’m going to try a little sand-trap shot here.
Shepard wasnt the last one to honor the golf gods in space. 1996, Brian Duffy and his crew used a specially designed putter and a duct tape role hole on the STS-72 mission. And 10 years later, Mikhail Tyurin launched some ultra light golf balls off of the International Space Station with a Golf plated Scandium club.
Can you name any other sports that have been played in space?

Using a tablet computer, flight attendants can communicate with physicians on the ground, transmitting observable symptoms, but also streaming data from sensors that can be stuck to the body of the victim. These can include heart rate, temperature, and respiration rate sensors, and the system includes a 12-lead ECG that first responders can be guided to use to potentially help spot heart attacks and other cardiac conditions. The sensors connect to the tablet via Bluetooth and can be used to monitor the patient during the rest of the flight.
The system asks a series of questions, collecting basic information about the situation and the passenger’s condition. This is shared with a physician who can communicate in real-time with the flight attendant to guide immediate treatment and also help decide whether to divert the airplane to the nearest airport.
For passengers, there’s an extra level of assurance that they can be better managed if something is to happen, and for airlines Aiber can help to make more accurate decisions on plane diversion, potentially saving many thousands of dollars per an avoided false alarm.

here is a direct link to the Rabing RC Drone FPV VR Wifi RC Quadcopter 2.4GHz 6-Axis Gyro Remote Control Drone With HD 2MP Camera Drone video
I haven’t always wanted a drone, but all of my work buddies had gotten them so I became quick to agree to buy one as well. Since I’m not the richest guy on the block, I searched for a drone that would do what I needed at a price that wasn’t horrendous. When I found this drone for $77.99, it was a match made in heaven. I wasn’t sure what to look for at first, but after doing some research I decided on this one since it had all the features I needed. I am happy to report that I really like this Rabing RC Drone FPV VR Wifi RC Quadcopter 2.4GHz 6-Axis Gyro Remote Control Drone With HD 2MP Camera Drone, and I plan on flying it for years to come.
I was really excited that the flight time was 8-9 minutes. Some of my buddies had drones that would only fly for five minutes, so that was a pleasant surprise. It is also so easy to set up your phone so you can watch what you are doing with the Rabing RC Drone. It has a great frequency zone so you can fly higher and farther without any problems. The design looks great, too.
Here are the specifications:
Drone battery:550 mAh Li-po battery
Charging time:about 100 minutes (USB Charging)
Flying time: about 8-9 minutes
Control distance: about 100 meters
Support mobile device:IOS / Android system
Control Channels:4 Channels
Remote Type:Radio Control and Wifi Control
Product dimension: 31*30*8.5cm
Package dimension: 49.5*32*9cm
Product weight: 0.9KG
Package weight: 1KG
1* 4-axis drone
1*2.4GHZ remote control
This drone is pretty easy to fly. While I wouldn’t trust my child with it, I didn’t have a problem learning how to take off and land it. It seemed to fly very smooth, and when I compared it to my friend’s drone it confirmed what I thought. For the price, this is an amazing drone. I love the camera on it, and it surprisingly takes some pretty good features. Some of my friends spent almost double what I did, but I think that mine performs a lot better.
I wish it came with a crash kit. I am worried that if it crashes I won’t be able to repair it.

Honestly, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase this again. It has been a great drone for me, and I spent less than $100. If I had to choose it again, I would. | aerospace |

Now as the Lucy spacecraft downlinked more images of its first target, it showed not one but two tiny asteroids orbiting around Dinkinesh.
NASA’s Lucy mission made a close flyby of the Dinkinesh asteroid on November 1, capturing data about the rocky object in the main asteroid belt. As it turns out, this small little guy was hiding a big secret: a tiny moon. But that’s not the only surprise; Dinkinesh is no ordinary binary system—it hosts a satellite that’s a contact binary consisting of two smaller objects in direct contact, NASA announced on Tuesday. The surprise space rocks are the first contact binary orbiting asteroid to ever be observed.
“Contact binaries seem to be fairly common in the solar system,” John Spencer, Lucy deputy project scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, said in a statement. “We haven’t seen many up-close, and we’ve never seen one orbiting another asteroid.”
In the first images that Lucy downlinked to mission teams on the ground, the two lobes of the contact binary asteroid appeared as one from the spacecraft’s point of view. As the spacecraft flew further away from the asteroid system, it became clear that these were actually two space rocks touching each other while in orbit around Dinkinesh.
At its closest approach, Lucy captured its first set of images when it was around 265 miles (425 kilometers) away from the asteroid. Six minutes later, the spacecraft captured its second set of images when it was at a distance of 1,010 miles (1,630 km) from the asteroid.
“It is puzzling, to say the least,” Hal Levison, principal investigator for Lucy at the Southwest Research Institute, said in a statement. “I would have never expected a system that looks like this. In particular, I don’t understand why the two components of the satellite have similar sizes. This is going to be fun for the scientific community to figure out.”
Dinkinesh, which roughly translates to “marvelous” in Amharic, is around 0.5 miles (790 meters) at its widest. The small asteroid was added to the mission’s itinerary in January as a way to test the spacecraft’s terminal tracking system, which is used for precise imaging during its high speed encounters with the asteroids.
Although it was only meant to be a test of its systems, Lucy’s brief encounter with Dinkinesh is the gift that keeps on giving. The spacecraft itself has moved on already, and is currently headed back toward Earth for a gravity assist in December 2024 that will propel it back towards the main asteroid belt for a close flyby of asteroid Donaldjohanson in 2025.
After its two early targets, the mission will begin its tour of the Trojan asteroids, a group of space rocks that lead and follow Jupiter in its orbit around the Sun. Lucy will reach the Trojan asteroids in 2027, visiting Eurybates and its binary partner Queta, followed by Polymele and its binary partner, Leucus, Orus, and the binary pair Patroclus and Menoetius.
The mission team still has plenty of time to downlink the remaining data and images from Lucy’s first asteroid encounter, which have led to uncovering more mysteries than they had initially anticipated. “It’s truly marvelous when nature surprises us with a new puzzle,” Tom Statler, Lucy program scientist from NASA, said in a statement. “Great science pushes us to ask questions that we never knew we needed to ask.” | aerospace |

- More funding for veterans programs.
- Ditching the presidential helicopter program, which was on track to be over budget by 100%.

In the case of linear trajectories, conflict detection algorithms have been proposed that are both complete, i.e., they detect all conflicts, and sound, i.e., they do not present false alarms. In general, for arbitrary nonlinear trajectory models, it is possible to define detection algorithms that are either sound or complete, but not both. This paper considers the case of nonlinear aircraft trajectory models based on polynomial functions. In particular, it proposes a conflict detection algorithm that precisely determines whether, given a lookahead time, two aircraft flying polynomial trajectories are in conflict. That is, it has been formally verified that, assuming that the aircraft trajectories are modeled as polynomial functions, the proposed algorithm is both sound and complete.

dioxide into oxygen in a simulated Martian
atmosphere, NASA’s chief reported at
Wednesday’s “Space 2000” symposium. The
technique could represent one small step
toward eventual human missions to the Red
DURING A WIDE-RANGING talk on the future of
space exploration, NASA Administrator Daniel Goldin
referred to an experiment in which scientists processed a
mixture of gases mirroring the composition of Mars’
atmosphere, which is 95 percent carbon dioxide.
“Out of that atmosphere, we built oxygen out of the
carbon dioxide,” Goldin said.
Using robots to convert Martian materials into air,
water and fuel plays a major part in the planning for human
missions to Mars. Scientists hope to demonstrate techniques
for in-situ production of rocket propellant during a Mars
mission to be launched in 2001.
Eventually, mission planners hope robots will be able to
convert Mars’ atmosphere, rock and soil into resources to
be stockpiled for use by human visitors — not only to
survive on Mars, but also to get back to Earth.
Goldin did not elaborate on the oxygen-production
experiment, but said further details would be provided
ONE GIANT LEAP
Making the leap beyond Earth emerged as a major
theme for Wednesday’s all-day symposium at American
University in Washington, which was aired by NASA and
broadcast over the Internet by MSNBC. Conference
organizer Richard Berendzen, an American University
professor and consultant to NASA, said the “Space 2000”
Web site recorded more than 1.5 million hits in the weeks
leading up to the event.
The list of speakers included students and scientists as
well as “Star Trek: Voyager” actor Robert Picardo and Bill
Nye (“the Science Guy”).

Moonwalker Buzz Aldrin discussed his ShareSpace
venture, which would set up a lottery to put ordinary people

his concept for using plasma propulsion to send humans to

Exploration Program, gave a boost to the Mars Millennium
Project — which is enlisting students to create plans for a
human settlement on Mars in 2030.
Several panelists portrayed interplanetary travel as a
long-term insurance policy for humanity — a way to avoid
having all of the species’ eggs in one planetary basket.
“Once every hundred million years, we face the
possibility of a significant impact from an asteroid or a
comet” that could lead to a mass extinction, observed Jill
Tarter, senior program scientist for the SETI Institute.
“Suppose that humankind had more than one home —
that we used more than one body in our solar system for
habitation,” she said. “That would allow humanity a species
NASA engineer Homer Hickam, whose autobiography
was turned into the recently released movie “October Sky,”
said a deep impact was not the only threat.
“It doesn’t have to be from the outside,” he said.
“We’re quite capable of creating calamity by ourselves.”
Tarter said the colonization team wouldn’t have to be
large: “You could get by with as few as 16 individuals ...
with very strict breeding rules about who can breed with whom.”
HUMANS AND ROBOTS
Goldin begged the audience’s indulgence for
Wednesday’s flights of fancy: “Let yourself float a little bit.”
He said that humans would work in concert with
“robotic colonies” to explore other worlds. He sketched out
an ambitious decade’s worth of robotic missions:
An airplane flight over Mars in 2003; a landing on the Saturnian
moon Titan in 2004; the arrival of an orbiter at Europa, a
moon of Jupiter, in 2006; the return of samples from Mars
in 2007; and the launch of a space observatory in 2008 that
could observe planets circling distant stars.
He said humans could journey to other worlds via
“total-immersion virtual presence” — using near-real-time
video links and simulators to reproduce a rover trip over
the Moon or an underwater ride through Europa’s depths.
And he pointed out that space exploration was likely to
yield valuable spinoffs in robotics, medicine, materials
science, power and propulsion, and information technology.
The symposium was dedicated to the late astronomer
Carl Sagan, author of “Cosmos” — and panelists freely
delved into the cosmic questions that Sagan loved:
For example, Tarter acknowledged that the decades-long
search for extraterrestrial intelligence, a quest in which she
has played a prominent role, could come to the ultimate
conclusion that humans were indeed the Universe’s only
“Practically, pragmatically, there might come a time
when we look around and say, ‘Well, it’s just us, and we’d
better do a better job with what we’ve got at hand — that
is, our planet, our solar system, our resources.’”
But others doubted that the quest would end that way.
“I don’t think we’re ever going to give up looking,”
Hickam said. “It’s too much fun to look, for one thing.” | aerospace |

Image credit: JAXA.
The Space Review is reporting that the Japanese Space Agency JAXA recently made history with a huge milestone reached in the science of spacecraft propulsion. On May 21, JAXA launched its IKAROS craft, which moves by sailing on solar winds, toward Venus. The craft was launched with the Venus Climate Orbiter, AKATSUKI (which means 'dawn' or 'daybreak'). JAXA: "This is the world's first solar powered sail craft employing both photon propulsion and thin film solar power generation during its interplanetary cruise." JAXA's homepage for IKAROS ((Interplanetary Kite-craft Accelerated by Radiation Of the Sun) is here and the info leaflet is here.
Space Review explains briefly how the technology works: "solar sailing is an in-space propulsion technology that has been studied for decades that involves harnessing the momentum of photons streaming out from the Sun by deploying large mirrored surfaces (“solar sails”) from spacecraft. As solar photons are reflected by the mirrors, they exchange momentum with the spacecraft, producing thrust. The pressure due to sunlight is not large—less than 10 micronewtons of force (1/3000 the weight of a penny) for each square meter of sail area. However, as it does not consume propellants the way that rockets do, this means that a solar sail can thrust for long periods of time—months and even years—and so can eventually build up much larger velocity changes than are achievable with rocket-based propulsion. This can enable solar system exploration missions that would otherwise require prohibitive amounts of propellant if using chemical rocket propulsion, such as multiple-asteroid rendezvous missions, near-Sun Solar polar science missions, and solar system escape missions. The ability to thrust continuously can also enable spacecraft to “hover” in locations where spacecraft cannot otherwise loiter."
In order to drum up public interest in the AKATSUKI project, JAXA held a campaign up until January of this year wherein they solicited messages from the public which the spacecraft will deliver to Venus: "we invite people to send us messages that will be printed in fine letters on an aluminum plate and placed aboard the Venus Climate Orbiter AKATSUKI. We will accept messages both from Japan and overseas so that we can bind the feelings and thoughts of everybody in the world into one, and inject it into the orbit of Venus." Of course, the idea of us sending messages into space is not new; see my blog post on that here.
What would you say to the Bright Star Venus if you had a chance? The Birth of Venus, by Sandro Botticelli c. 1485–1486.
The promise is further laden with Greek symbolism derived from ancient astronomy and mythology: "Venus is well known by the Japanese as the first star, and has been called the 'morning bright star' or 'evening bright star' since ancient times. In the West, its shining beauty is explained in its name 'Venus', the Goddess of beauty. Venus comes closest to the Earth, and the dimensions of the two planets are very similar, hence they are often called 'sister planets.' However, it is imagined that there are no oceans on Venus because it is located a little closer to the Sun. As its atmosphere mostly consists of carbon dioxide, which causes the greenhouse effect, Venus has become a tropical heat planet unlike the Earth. Although Venus has little rotation, its surface is surrounded by strong east winds called a 'super rotation,' which is one of the biggest wonders of meteorology."

JAXA has further plans to launch similar research vehicles toward Jupiter and the Trojan asteroids in the late 2010s. Great that everyone seems to be picking up on the mythological character of Icarus these days, isn't it?

“This project was an obvious choice to combine my interest and experience in RC (remote control) flight with my love of Star Wars stuff. I like always having some strange project on the workbench and this one was next in line, an attempt to build a version of the Imperial Speeder Bikes from the movie that I could “get into” and fly around myself.”
Woodworth used toys Hasbro re-released in the 90’s when ‘Star Wars the Special Edition’ was in theaters to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ‘A New Hope.’ He configured a small aircraft complete with a FPV (first person video) camera in the stormtrooper’s helmet.

An Outstanding Air Pioneer
Claude Dornier became a legend in aircraft design. He was born in the Southern German town of Kempten on 14 May 1884 and went on to design and build a series of aircraft throughout the 1920s, which were revolutionary, because they were almost all built of metal. Dornier designed a total of over 100 different types of aircraft during his career as a designer. And because most of them were produced outside Germany, he achieved international recognition at an early age. Several of his designs became icons. For example, Roald Amundsen flew to the North Pole in a DO (Dornier Aircrafts) Wal in 1925, and the 12-engined DO (Dornier Aircrafts) X wrote aviation history as the biggest flying boat of its time.
Dornier Boat, DO-X
To Cape Town in 1926
Travel with Dornier Aircrafts, Dornier Merkur
Swiss aviation pioneer, Walter Mittelholzer, began his epic flight from Switzerland over the Mediterranean and the African continent to Cape Town in a Dornier Merkur on 7 December 1926. The trip took him 77 days, and was the first time ever that an aircraft traversed the whole of Africa. Mittelholzer did not embark on the journey to beat any records, but to increase awareness of Africa in the rest of the world, and to promote air travel.
Dornier-Werke Friedrichshafen and Bayerische Motoren Werke (BMW) in Munich were the main sponsors of the flight. Because there were no landing facilities along the route, and Mittelholzer could not count on any form of technical or other support along the way, the Dornier Merkur Schweiz was converted into a flying boat so that he was at least independent of airstrips. It was a challenging voyage. Mittelholzer had a compass and 1:1,000,000 scale map as his only navigation aids. There was no infrastructure, which is why the trip was planned to follow the Nile, the great African lakes and the open sea. Mittelholzer made 23 stops along the way, but his Dornier Merkur and its BMW engines did the whole trip without any mechanical problems, arriving safely in Cape Town on 21 February 1927.

The Guangzhou, China-based company pulled the cloth off the Ehang 184 at the Las Vegas Convention Center during the CES gadget show. In a company video showing it flying, it looks like a small helicopter but with four doubledpropellers spinning parallel to the ground like other drones.
The electric-powered drone can be fully charged in two hours, carry up to 220 pounds and fly for 23 minutes at sea level, according to Ehang. The cabin fits one person and a small backpack and even has air conditioning and a reading light. With propellers folded up, it's designed to fit in a single parking spot.
After setting a flight plan, passengers only need to give two commands, "take off" and "land," each controlled by a single click on a Microsoft Surface tablet, the company said.
It is designed to fly about 1,000 to 1,650 feet off the ground with a maximum altitude of 11,500 feet and top speed of 63 miles per hour.
U.S. authorities are just starting to lay out guidelines for drone use, and a human-passenger drone seems certain to face strict scrutiny. | aerospace |

On July 20, Cincinnati Museum Center will feature “Apollo 11: First Steps Edition” in its Robert D. Lindner Family OMNIMAX Theater throughout the day, on the 50th anniversary of that “first small step” on the Moon. Created exclusively for the OMNIMAX Theater, the film features never-before-seen footage and audio from the historic mission.
Crafted from a newly-discovered trove of never-before-seen 70mm footage and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11: First Steps Edition puts you at the center of NASA’s historic lunar landing.
“What makes this movie so much better than any other that celebrates the 50th anniversary is that the producers used only original 50-year-old film and audio without any modern commentary. That alone makes you feel like you are living through the historic event,” said Dave Duszynski, president of Mercury Museum Services. “Perhaps the most amazing moment is the Saturn V rocket launch as experienced with the OMNIMAX Theater’s new sound system.”
Created entirely from archival materials provided by NASA and the National Archives, the film features incredible shots of the launch, inside Mission Control and recovery and post-mission activities. Audio recordings capture individual tracks from 60 key mission personnel throughout the mission.
“[W]e cannot wait to see audiences experience the thrill of walking on the Moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin and becoming a part of history as the world celebrates this greatest of human accomplishments,” said Shaun MacGillivray, president of MacGillivray Freeman Films.
“Apollo 11: First Steps Edition” will have showings every hour, Saturday, July 20, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Destination Moon pre-sale vouchers
CMC’s screening of “Apollo 11: First Steps Edition” coincides with the opening of pre-sale vouchers for the upcoming exhibition “Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission.” Purchase your pre-sale voucher on July 20 along with your “Apollo 11: First Steps Edition” ticket and save $2.
“Destination Moon” is a national traveling exhibition produced by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and the National Air and Space Museum. The exhibition features over 20 authentic artifacts from the Apollo program, including several flown aboard Apollo 11 on its historic mission. The highlight of the exhibition is the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, the only portion of the spacecraft to safely return home after successfully landing men on the moon and returning them to Earth. Cincinnati is the final stop of “Destination Moon’s” national tour and will open September 28. | aerospace |

The event also commemorated humankind’s first foray into space 50 years ago, when Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin spent 108 minutes looking at a view of the earth that nobody had experienced before. At a general assembly earlier in 2011, the UN declared 12 April as the International Day of Human Space Flight.
The milestone was celebrated around the world, including South Africa, where experts in the local space industry came together in the Mother City to discuss the latest developments and current status.
To mark the anniversary, Russian cosmonaut Valery Tokarev visited South Africa as a guest of the newly launched South African National Space Agency (Sansa).
A former space commander and Red Army test pilot, Tokarev addressed several institutions during his tour of the country, including Tshwane’s Innovation Hub and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), which runs a flourishing satellite programme.
Investing in space science
“Can our government afford not to invest in space science?” said Sias Mostert, CEO of Space Commercial Services, opening the media briefing in Cape Town.
Mostert revealed that the country had already invested billions in this field over the last three decades, and had been willing to do so because space science answers questions that are important to human existence.
“Space science has improved the lives of South Africans through applications such as GPS. It’s enabled us to have a better standard of living at lower cost, and it’s helped us to increase productivity so that we can earn better wages,” he said. “It also helps us to better understand our natural environment.”
South Africa is collaborating with Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt and Algeria, in an initiative known as the African Resource Management Constellation, to launch a fleet of satellites that will help African nations to more effectively manage their natural resources, and better monitor disasters. The latter three nations also have space agencies.
“A satellite is a powerful way for a country to show its global status,” said Mostert, “as it makes a strong geo-political statement.”
Advances in local earth observation
South Africa’s first satellite was called Sunsat, and was built as a Stellenbosch University postgraduate project. The 64kg device launched in 1999 aboard a Nasa vehicle.
The same team, which was soon to evolve into satellite solutions provider SunSpace, then built another, bigger satellite and followed this achievement with a third device, the successful earth observation satellite SumbandilaSat.
SumbandilaSat, which took only 12 months to build, launched in September 2009 aboard a Soyuz 2.1b rocket from Baikonur in Kazakhstan. Contrary to media reports, it’s already proved its worth in the field of earth observation.
According to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the satellite – whose name means “clear the way” or “pathfinder” in Tshivenda – recently produced five high-resolution images of the south-western Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga, as well as the nearby community of Bushbuckridge.
The CSIR team stated that had they bought the images, which are related to CSIR and South African National Parks research projects, they would have paid upwards of R40 000 (US$5 800) per image to an international supplier. However, SumbandilaSat is able to provide local users with the images they need at no cost.
The 81kg satellite has taken more than 1 250 images of locations around the world, all at a good resolution of 6.25 metres per pixel and an area of 300 square kilometres per image, from its low-earth orbital height of around 500km.
While this imaging capacity is not as great as other bigger and more expensive commercial satellites, SumbandilaSat is still expected to make a huge contribution to earth observation in South Africa.
The device is advancing sectors such as communication, navigation and defence. Its images can be applied to the detection of illegal mining activity, reconnaisance of the country’s borders, monitoring of land degradation, calculation of the extent of land used for agricultural purposes, and more.
Interested parties may request Sumbandila images from Sansa’s earth observation data catalogue.
Using space for peaceful purposes
Sansa, which officially started operations at the beginning of April 2011, has the aim of promoting the peaceful use of outer space, as well as furthering South Africa’s national space strategy.
Sansa’s CEO Sandile Malinga, speaking at the briefing, said that the agency is to focus on building international partnerships; stimulating the economy; developing relevant skills and technology; and using space for the benefit of citizens.
“Developing countries also need a space agency,” said Malinga, “because space science and technology has a broad impact on our activities. In South Africa we’ll use data for environment and natural resource monitoring and management, which will help with urban and rural planning, and economic development.”
Sansa is planning a successor to Sumbandila, but the organisation is still waiting for a firm funding commitment – although, said Malinga, an agreement has been reached in principle.
The new device will capture images at 2.5 metres per pixel, a much higher resolution than that offered by Sumbandila.
“It will be an improvement on Sumbandila,” said Malinga, “which has completed over 6 000 orbits and given us great value for money”.
African space science hub
Research physicist Lee-Anne McKinnell of Sansa Space Science (SSS) – formerly known as the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory – said that SSS aimed to be a hub for earth-space science and technological services in Africa by 2015.
“We’re in a geographically advantageous position,” she said, “located in the South Atlantic anomaly”.
This is the name of the area where the earth’s inner Van Allen radiation belt – a band of energetic charged particles, or plasma, which runs around the planet and is held in place by its magnetic field – comes closest to the earth’s surface.
SSS keeps an eye on eruptions from the sun, and also monitors fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field. It has been designated as the regional warning centre for space weather, one of 13 around the world, for the African continent. Part of its function is to carry out near-real-time monitoring of space weather and the resultant impact on biological organisms and electronic devices.
“This is the only place in South Africa where we measure the earth’s magnetic field,” said McKinnell. “Hermanus is a clean environment in magnetic terms. There are no disturbances such as an electric rail system, which would interfere with our measurements.”
SSS also offers technological services to the defence and aerospace industries, such as the maintenance and accurate calibration of landing compasses for aircraft, which are all required to have a manual compass on board in case electronics systems fail.
Developing specialised skills for SA’s space industry
At the Cape Peninsula University of Technology a micro-satellite programme is in full swing under the guidance of CPUT Satellite Systems lecturer Francois Visser, also a speaker at the briefing.
The satellite development programme operates from the French South African Technology Institute (F’SATI), a graduate school for engineers and communication specialists.
One of the goals of the programme, which is funded by the Department of Science and Technology through the National Research Foundation, is to rapidly develop specialised skills to support South Africa’s growing space industry.
Full-time students will graduate in 24 months with a masters degree or doctorate, while part-timers will need at least three years to complete their studies. Tuition is offered through agreements with partner institutions in France, including the universities of Paris-Est Créteil and Versailles Saint-Quentin.
Using the innovative Cubesat technology, F’SATI students are currently building two satellites. Cubesat is a modular system that is used throughout the world, with over 40 Cubesats circling the earth to date.
“We’re building a 3U and a 1U satellite,” said Visser, referring to the building blocks of 10x10x10cm that make up each Cubesat unit. A 3U satellite will therefore have dimensions of 10x10x30cm.
“It weighs about four kilos and is the size of a loaf of bread,” said Visser. “We hope to finish the prototype by October 2011 and have it ready for launch, most likely on an Indian vehicle, in the first quarter of 2012 with a science payload.”
The payload will include an earth imaging camera; a radio frequency beacon to calibrate the radar antenna patterns at the SSS’s Antarctica base; and other radio experiments.
Visser described the project as a simple mission that will give all the students valuable experience in satellite mission development and operation. The team plans to demonstrate the satellite at the upcoming International Astronautical Congress, taking place in Cape Town in October 2011. | aerospace |

DMAC (11 pilots) Don Slatter
Although 11 pilots flew Postals, this was done in groups over 4 separate days.
On 8 February, 5 pilots flew. Other pilots were flying RES. On this day there were generally good lift conditions and no rain! Strongish breeze
On 15 February, Dennis, and Mike and Norman Smith flew. On arrival at Summerveld, the valley was filled with thick mist, but this lifted so that by 10h30 test flights were made. Conditions now seemed good so they flew their Postals.
I flew on 19 February, after the horses had left the training area. Norman came out as my timer. I had no other opportunity in the month. Weather was partly overcast and a bit windy but there was also some reasonable lift around.
Then, on the last day of the month, Saturday 28 February, Allan and Brian flew. The weather was stormy but they had to fly to get a score and there was good lift. On Allan's last flight, he was flying in heavy rain for the last 4 minutes but he was determine to finish and get a good score. There was also lightning and so he kept his Tx aerial parallel to the ground to avoid it becoming a lightning conductor! He was particularly proud of this flight as he scored maximum points despite the adverse conditions. He said no-one must say one cannot fly in rain!
SGC (5 pilots) Johan Bruwer
Johan, Joe, Axel (new member) and Gordon flew postals on Sunday 8th Feb. Fairly windy with some thermals but also big sink. Rather challenging conditions for Gordon's home built 2m plane and Axel's first attempt at flying in any competition!Johan assisted Chris the next weekend.
xMMS (6pilots) Lionel Brink
We flew at the BERG field & enjoyed conditions that varied from great fun to challenging. Flights towards late afternoon were rather difficult & thermals had to be followed very, very far downwind.
BERG (4 pilots) Piet Rheeders
Flown on the 8th of august with the conditions being very good in the morning and overcast in the after noon with difficult condition.
Like Craig I decided to fly this year’s postals with a 2m Tsotsi.
JGC (6 pilots) Juanita Smith
With the shocking weather we have had this month as well as usual commitments, most of us landed up only having one shot at it this time round, but as always . . . fun was had by all. Derrick tried his second attempt today, and although all his times were an improvement on his previous attempt, he was forced to stop after 4 flights due to rain. :-)
TRMC / SMC (4 pilots) Gert Nieuwoudt
I have flown postals with the Standerton guys. We flew on the 21st Feb on what was a very humid day. At first it looked like it would be a day with big thermals but turned out to be difficult. We flew on a farm outside Standerton, with beautiful views and wide open spaces.
ETB (2 pilots) Izak Theron / Herman Weber
Only two managed to fly at the last minute . . .
* * * *
Can correspondents please send me scores in the format I have requested many times?
Three of the six clubs sent their scores in as spreadsheets with every detail but no totals! I then have to sit with a calculator and work out their scores!
Please send me only the data I put out in the result sheet ---
Initial and name – score (both attempts please) – aircraft – section – span . . .
. . . and some comment(s) on the activity / conditions / dates
One club seems to think that the rules have reverted completely to what they were before. Only the number of attempts has reverted to two.
The A (4 scores) and B (3 scores) leagues remain as does the “fly any day” modification.
I was saddened to see that one of the more vocal opponents to the changes, who responded to the change back to two attempts with “Whoopee --- this is more like it!” didn’t manage to put in a score.
Welcome to the new Club, the Jailbirds, although I feel that name needs a little further explanation! | aerospace |

Air Force nuclear missile unit fails key security test, in latest setback
An Air Force unit responsible for dozens of nuclear missiles failed a recent safety and security inspection — a setback that comes just months after the Air Force temporarily sidelined 17 officers in connection with a prior inspection flop.
The latest failure was recorded by the 341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. According to Air Force Global Strike Command, the unit received an “unsatisfactory” rating during the inspection in early August after personnel made “tactical-level errors” during an exercise.
“This failure resulted in the entire inspection being graded ‘unsatisfactory,'” a statement from Global Strike Command said.
Commander Lt. Gen. Jim Kowalski stressed in the statement that the failure does not mean the safety of America’s nuclear arsenal is at risk, and that the inspections are “designed to be tough.”
But the failure comes on top of other disappointing news for the Air Force’s nuclear weapons force. | aerospace |

Ahead of the Artemis mission’s test flight, which aims to send humans to the moon for the first time in 50 years, NASA said the lunar surface will provide a test bed for Mars and beyond.
Unlike the Apollo missions, this time Artemis’ goal is to stay and build a permanent home on the Moon, where lessons can be learned before venturing further afield.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Dr. Bhavya Lal, NASA’s associate administrator for technology, policy and strategy, said the long-term goal was to have a “presence throughout the Solar System”.
“The point is, we don’t stop when we go to Mars,” he said. “When we have thriving settlements on Mars, we will probably have enough technology to push us deeper into space.
“I think the idea is just that we don’t stop. Our long-term strategic visions for having a sustained presence on the Moon, Mars and throughout the Solar System.
“At the highest level our goal is not simply to visit one place, it is to bring the Solar System and beyond into our economic realm.”
Full Moon Touchdown expected in 2025
This week’s Artemis test flight marks the beginning of a new era of spaceflight where humans venture off-planet not just to visit other worlds, but to stay and set up bases.
The first launch is unmanned and will test the systems of the Special Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft which will separate from the SLS and travel to Mars with the crew.
In 2024, the Artemis II mission will take astronauts as far as they have ever been in space, approximately 4,600 miles beyond the far side of the moon. And if all goes according to plan, a full touchdown on the lunar surface is expected in 2025.
For the first trips to the Moon, the astronauts will travel aboard the Orion spacecraft, but SpaceX was later tasked with devising a vehicle that could carry people back and forth.
A new space station, the lunar portal, will also be built to orbit the moon and provide a starting point for Mars, as well as a way to access the lunar surface.
In a briefing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida prior to launch, NASA administrator Bill Nelson said he expected to send the first astronauts to Mars by the late 1930s and said the world was entering a new era of space exploration.
“We will go back to the moon, but we will live, learn and develop new technologies, because we will eventually go to Mars,” he said.
“The gateway will be more of an outpost and there could be all kinds of new things we’re doing there. It is possible that a spacecraft could be assembled there in lunar orbit and then embark on its journey to Mars.
“There is a great universe to explore out there and this is the next step in this exploration. It is no longer the Apollo generation, it is the Artemis generation, and this brings a whole new world of discovery.
“By 2040 we may have detected life in other parts of the universe and be thinking about what it will do in our desire for exploration.”
The first unmanned test flight was to be launched on Monday, but it suffered several technical setbacks and it was feared that storms could delay take-off. One of the lightning towers flanking the Mega Moon rocket was struck by lightning on Saturday.
A delay would bring the launch back to September 3 or 5, but there are fears that a hurricane is brewing that could cause even those dates to fail.
Speaking at Cape Canaveral ahead of launch, NASA astronaut Randy Bresnik said it was imperative to return to the moon before attempting to reach Mars.
“There is a practical need to go to the moon before Mars,” he said.
“If you go to the sporting goods store and buy a brand new tent and boots, you won’t go out into the Alaskan wilderness without trying that stuff out and making sure it works.
“So go a little closer to some local places that maybe you can get back to pretty fast if your shoelaces break.
“We won’t have a chance to return when we go to Mars, so proving that everything works, the logistics, the habitats and the hatches and the suits, the rovers and the wheels, first to the moon, is vital.”
Mold in space will test living organisms in extreme conditions
The “Aspergillus niger” mushroom is a small hard life form.
Commonly known as “black mold”, it has been found living happily on the International Space Station (ISS), seemingly oblivious to the lack of gravity or the rigors of space radiation.
Its spores can survive doses of radiation 200 times more than would kill a human, and it is now being detonated around the Moon to see how it fares in deep space.
Scientists are leveraging NASA’s Artemis test flight to send experiments that could improve their understanding of how some living organisms thrive in extreme conditions.
The findings will help create space-proof crops that humans will need to inhabit on the Moon and Mars and provide clues on how to leverage their natural defense mechanism to protect astronauts from radiation.
NASA scientists believe “Aspergillus niger” is protected from radiation by high levels of melanin, the chemical in the body that produces pigmentation in hair, eyes and skin.
To find out, the researchers are sending in four different versions of the mushroom. One strain is normal, one has been genetically modified to remove its melanin, and two others have been modified to eliminate DNA repair centers.
The samples will be launched into NASA’s Orion crew module and launched into space, where they will travel around the moon for three weeks before plunging into the Pacific.
Ye Zhang, of NASA’s SMD Biological and Physical Science Experiment, told The Telegraph: “The mushroom experiment focuses on DNA damage and was chosen ‘Aspergillus niger’ because it was found on the ISS and elsewhere. contaminated areas, so it appears to be very resistant to radiation.
Team to test the effects of zero gravity and radiation on crops
“In deep space, the dose of space radiation is not that high, but it is constant and this causes serious damage to the cells, and this is what astronauts will be subjected to.
“Aspergillus niger appears to be able to adapt to this environment and if we can find out how it is doing we may be able to reproduce the effect in some kind of drug, and this could be really crucial for deep space travel.”
The team is also sending plant seeds and will attempt to regrow them on Earth, to discover the effect of zero gravity and radiation on crops.
Yeast cells are also hitchhiking, and researchers at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California will examine the impact of radiation on their growth.
“Artemis I offers us a unique opportunity to discover how deep space impacts living organisms, far more than we could ever get on earth,” added Zhang.
“We can look at the strategies they are using to survive and this also has implications for human health. If they have ways to improve survival, humans can exploit this too. “
Orion is expected to deflate with its previous cargo in early October and the team expects to get results within a year of returning the samples.
The findings could not only help in spaceflight, but could help against radiation on Earth, perhaps even producing compounds that could be used to protect against UV and gamma rays. | aerospace |

That’s the conclusion the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s HiRise camera team reached when they spotted just that in a Mars snapshot.
MRO captured the original image in 2010, but the HiRise team at the University of Arizona has been making super high-res 8K versions of MRO images available on Flickr. That gives scientists and space fans a great opportunity to delve into the tiny details of the landscapes.
The zoomed-out main image shows a collection of boulders on the floor of Cerberus Fossae, a steep area where deep troughs cut into the ground and landslides are common.
The HiRise team said it is “fairly certain this is a dust devil” in a Twitter post on Tuesday. It definitely resembles a snake-like dust devil MRO spotted in 2012. Whirlwinds happen frequently on the Red Planet and have been known to leave visible marks across the ground.
NASA’s orbiter arrived at Mars in 2006 and has been sending back incredible images ever since. This dust devil whirling in an image from 2010 shows there are treasures still left to find in the archives.

Vice Admiral Shekhar Sinha (Retd)
Indian naval strategists with combat aviation acumen have long understood the role of fighter aircraft in the context of overall maritime security in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). This has been proven time and again since 1960. When the Indian Ocean witnessed relative calm under the umbrella of balance of power during Cold War, the only serious security challenge to Indian landmass was from the north-western neighbourhood which had already been well-established.
The government in power appreciated the virtue of self-help and maintained the policy of not being part of any military alliance despite much allurement. The major powers present in the IOR were non-residents and, therefore, for India it was necessary to have maritime security mechanism of protection of own national interest and that of IOR. Since maritime domain has vast expanse over which lies our economic interests, the governments have laboured to build a capable and strong navy. Countries have to deal with their immediate threats without having to wait for doubtful military support from elsewhere.
British Raj had deprived India of the benefits of the Industrial Revolution and, therefore, at the time of Independence the country was handed out relatively poorly-equipped armed forces but a notorious neighbour. As far as the navy was concerned, her immediate role was defined to protect the sea lanes of communication in order to keep the energy routes secure given the proximity of western neighbour to the energy and trade transit routes in the IOR.
Given the fact that our economy has been on an upward trajectory ever since, successive governments have found it necessary to build the capability of the navy and therefore what we see today is a product of vision of our political and maritime leaders. That is how began the process of acquiring the first aircraft carrier Vikrant in the Sixties and embarked fighter and anti-submarine aircraft. The fighter aircraft was the Sea Hawk from the proven design house of Hawker Siddley of the UK.
It was a small Hunter in many ways. Though the British had phased it out, it met our need of preventing any attempt to disrupt the SLOCs far and wide. It was the only aircraft carrier east of Suez making our country the only one with pan IOR reach. Our air technical teams were handpicked and it is to their credit that the last Sea Hawk flew till as late as 1983, roughly for 22 years.
The government also permitted the navy to buy a hangar full of old Sea Hawks and spares from the then West Germany. The pilots of 300 Squadron, the White Tigers as they are called, surprised the Royal Navy by their flying skills. Lt Cdr B.D. Law was the first Commanding officer. It was during the passage of Vikrant from the UK to India that then Lt Cdr Ram Tahiliani became the first Indian Navy pilot to deck land the Sea Hawk. He later on rose to become the chief of naval staff and Governor of Sikkim.
The Sea Hawk had its limitation as far as air defence against intruding aircraft was concerned. It had 20mm Hispano gun which was good enough to bring down a maritime patrol aircraft. Maritime reconnaissance by MR aircraft is prerequisite to all maritime operations. In the vast expanse of ocean, the presence or the absence of a fleet or flotilla has to be established before punitive actions can be planned. The Indian Navy’s philosophy hinged around neutralising the MR aircraft of the enemy even before an action could be commenced by an enemy surface action groups.
With the passage of time the Indian Ocean witnessed the presence of the US Navy on near permanent basis. The US chose Pakistan as an ally to prevent the Soviet desire to venture into warm waters of the Arabian Sea. In the process it armed Pakistan with weapon platforms ignoring the fact that those systems would be used against India in their quest for annexing Jammu and Kashmir. It only strengthened Indian strategists’ view that self-help was the only way to protect our own national interest and therefore the policy of strategic autonomy. The end of Cold War and fall of the Soviet empire emboldened Pakistan further with the continuous flow of sophisticated platforms and systems from the US. It has continued under the aid programme for global war on terror.
As far back as 1974, naval aviation planners foresaw the developments in the IOR and assessed the necessity to replace the existing aircraft carrier Vikrant and nearing obsolescence fighter jets, the Sea Hawk. The US and French were in the process of providing the PC 3 Orion’s and the Atlantique MR aircraft to Pakistan. This called for a relook at our own fighter asset since the Orion and Atlantique would give Pakistan the ability to snoop and strike Indian ships at much longer ranges.
China was emerging on the maritime front and her complicity with Pakistan was in the news. The Vikrant was also operating beyond her designated life thanks to the superior engineering skills of our officers and men. It was an opportunity at taking a quantum jump in carrier-borne aircraft and weapon technology. The Sky Hawk (A-4) aircraft was being considered as a replacement to the Sea Hawk. It is to the credit of naval aviation strategists who saw through the limitations of the Sky Hawk with respect to her residual life and technology as well as the residual life of the sole aircraft carrier Vikrant.
The opportunity was seized by selecting state-of-the-art Sea Harrier VSTOL fighter Reconnaissance and Strike aircraft as a replacement to the Sea Hawk which could operate from flat deck of Vikrant till such time a Ski Jump would be added to her or a different carrier was acquired. The Royal Navy was also in the process of inducting the Sea Harriers into service while the UK was still a major world power. This would make the Indian Navy contemporary.
The Sea Harrier would give the Indian Navy a true interceptor equipped with air to air missile, first time in the navy, both the rear aspect and all aspect types and an a true interception radar which was a first for the Indian armed forces (the Mirage 2000 was yet to be inducted in the air force). The year was 1982 when the first set of Indian Navy pilots led by then Cdr Arun Prakash (a Vir Chakra of 1971 war) and team of engineers were deputed to the United Kingdom for training. The rest is history.
The Sea Harrier was a technological wizard. It could take-off and land vertically and do combinations of all types of take-off and landing between vertical and fully conventional envelope. It suited the navy, since it precluded the necessity of strong winds on the deck of the aircraft carrier for a catapult launch which had restricted Sea Hawk operations in 1971 in the Bay of Bengal.
There was a price to pay though for this advance technology of the Sea Harrier. She was a challenging aircraft to fly, very unstable in the VSTOL regime requiring very high flying skills from a pilot. This resulted in more than the usual rejection rate of pilots and therefore not many could achieve fully operational status. For a few years, the navy operated two aircraft carriers Vikrant, which was fitted with 9 ¾ degrees Ski Jump and the Viraat (ex-Hermes of the RN) inducted in 1986, which necessitated dedicated training effort to meet the needs of two carriers.
All this while, the navy has had only one embarked fighter squadron which performed the task of air defence of the fleet, a task which was performed with professional skill during long embarked periods for over three decades. The vectoring-in forward flight (VIFF) gave this aircraft unique ability to out turn many fighters to achieve a kill with her Magic 1 and 2 air to air missiles as well as 30mm Aden guns. The aircraft carried total weapon load of approximately 5,000 lbs which was formidable. She also carried ESM and ECM pods. For reconnaissance, a pod was carried which had forward looking, panoramic and infra-red cameras.
During her prime, she intercepted the Orion, Atlantique, F-18 Super Hornet and possibly any aircraft that dared to close the fleet anywhere in the IOR. She was operationally deployed off Sri Lanka at the peak of Operation Jupiter and then during Operation Parakram which kept the Pakistani fleet virtually tied in their harbour. India had the capability to strike deep into enemy territory from seawards and draw out the ground forces of opponents from traditional theatres.
A training squadron of the Sea Harrier, 552, was commissioned in 2004 to relieve the 300 Squadron completely from Operational Flying training tasks. In fact, the training flight was already operating since 1989, as the B Flight of Indian Naval Air Squadron 551 which also operated Kiran aircraft in Fleet Requirement Unit role till replaced by the BAE Systems’ Hawks and moved to Visakhapattnam recently. The Sea Harrier underwent a mid-life upgrade in 2004 which increased her operational capability manifold providing the fleet with much needed punch against new inventories of our adversary. The ELTA Radar and compatible Derby beyond the visual range air to air missile changed the manner in which air combat was being fought. This effectively made this aircraft very potent against incoming fighter/ MR threat which could have used their long range air to surface missiles against our surface ships. This effectively ceased the occasional venturing of Pakistani Mirage III seawards on the western seaboard. Sea Harriers ruled the IOR skies for 33 long years!
By now the technology of VSTOL had virtually peaked and no further improvements could be incorporated to the aircraft. The era of VSTOL was very much nearing its culmination. The RN and RAF pooled in all their Harriers to form Joint Harrier Force and later phased it out from service. There was much debate in the Indian Navy and strategic community on the replacement of both the aircraft carrier Viraat and the fighter jet Sea Harrier. The Vikrant was decommissioned and we were left with a single carrier.
In the meanwhile a lot was happening in the South China Sea. The economic and military might of China was growing and challenging the supremacy of the US which has been the sole superpower since the collapse of Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War. The Chinese diplomatic overdrive and assertiveness is pushing towards the Indian Ocean. With the promulgation of Chinese Military Strategy paper 2015 and the declaration of Maritime Silk Route it was becoming clear that IOR could see decline in Indian dominance. Chinese hobnobbing with Sri Lanka, Maldives, Djibouti and Pakistan poses a serious challenge to the relative calm in the waters of IOR. Indian planners are sanguine of these developments.
It was time for India to extend her fleet operations far and wide to ensure security of SLOCs in the full expanse of the Indian Ocean, monitoring the most critical choke points in the IOR, i.e. Malacca Straits, Gulf of Aden and Straits of Hormuz through which transits our energy and bulk of trade. Naval aviation planners took a bold decision to choose a conventional and more capable aircraft to replace the Sea Harrier. It also necessitated a bigger carrier. The Russian offer of ex-Gorshkov, now Vikramaditya, met the requirement for the cost. This 45,000 plus tonnes carrier was fitted out with Ski Jump and arrestor wires to operate conventional aircraft. The aircraft chosen was MiG-29K supersonic fighters which are capable of short take off but arrested landing, STOBAR for short. The interception and strike ranges are far in excess of the Sea Harrier.
The ship arrived at her home port in Karwar on 7 January 2014. The sunset for VSTOL air defence was approaching and so was withdrawal from service of the aircraft carrier Viraat. From 2014 till 11 May 2016, both MiG-29K and Sea Harriers have been operating by 303 and 300 squadrons respectively. The Sea Harrier made a majestic appearance at the International Fleet Review in February 2016 off Vizag displaying her flexibility of operation.
On May 11 this year curtains came down for Sea Harrier VSTOL fighters after 33 years of yeoman service. The technical teams have done the country proud by keeping this maintenance intensive aircraft up in the air for 33 years. The degree of challenge of operating Sea Harriers can be judged by the fact that in these 33 years only 60 pilots and 52 engineers mastered the art of VSTOL. The 300 Squadron is now inducted with MiG-29K supersonic jets.
Very broadly, now the navy has two supersonic fighter jet squadrons giving the country the reach and numbers that it needs in the developing geopolitics of the IOR. The second aircraft carrier Vikrant being built at Kochi shipyard will be ready within a few years and two fighter squadrons could be deployed on two seaboards simultaneously. The LCA Navy is possibly some distance away, though the land-based ski jump trials are progressing and meeting the test criteria. The change of engine to GE 414 will make her a good platform.
India’s navy is on the threshold of managing the security of IOR on her own steam along with resident littoral states of this ocean. India already has Maritime Domain Awareness connectivity with Sri Lanka, Maldives, (possibly) Seychelles, Mauritius and Madagascar. The cooperation with Bangladesh and Myanmar will enhance the security architecture envelope. The fusion centre at Singapore adds to MDA.
With the US pivot to Indo Asia Pacific and China’s emergence in the IOR on the pretext of Maritime Silk Route accompanied with her assertiveness in the South China Sea, time is ripe for India to continue with the policy of strategic autonomy without joining any military alliance. The enhanced maritime air combat power has propelled India to construct her own security architecture which will be for and by the IOR littorals.

Flying the Sea Harrier
It was in April 1982 that Cdr Arun Prakash, the squadron commander-designate (later chief of naval staff) and I, a lieutenant, the flying instructor-designate of new Sea Harrier squadron, was deputed to the United Kingdom to learn to fly the machine and bring it back to India.
We first joined a Jet Provost flight of 79 Squadron at RAF Brawdy in Wales. It was UK orientation course to learn the flying and air traffic procedures. Also, getting used to instrument laid down procedures, radio telephony natter and the accent. The saving grace was that even the British pilots often found it difficult to decipher the accent of the controllers which depended upon their own native region within the UK!
During this syllabus flying, Cdr Arun Prakash ejected into a lake subsequent to an engine malfunction. He was fit as a fiddle thereafter. On completion we moved to RAF Wittering to the 233 OCU for the basic flying training on the RAF Harrier GR 3 along with RAF, RN and Spanish Navy pilots.
The aircraft was awe-inducing. A 10-ton fighter jet coming to a stop in the air prior to landing apart from being a sight to behold was full of controllability dichotomies compared to a conventional fighter. The Harrier was capable of four different types of take-off and five different types of landings, indicative of the range of stages in the instability regime that the pilot was expected to handle. A conventional aircraft takes-off and lands in one way only i.e. horizontally. Therefore, the longer a pilot had flown conventional fighters in the past more challenging it would be to unlearn those habits and imbibing VSTOL techniques. This would become even more exacting if a pilot encountered an emergency in which human mind tends to revert to natural habits.
A conventional aircraft exhibits stability in all three axes of its control, i.e. roll, pitch and yaw because the airflow over the wings and control surfaces keep flowing well above the stalling speed of the aircraft. In case of the Harrier, since the aircraft can land vertically, she had to transit from a conventional i.e. wing-borne flight to vertical hover which is fully jet borne. The entire weight of the aircraft, roughly 10 tons, had to be supported by the engine. Also, from the time her transition from conventional to vertical flight began, the speed of airflow would continue to reduce over the wings and control surfaces and therefore aircraft became less and less stable and controllable. Little surprise then that, in 33 years of operation in India, only 60 pilots became operational in our navy, nearly double having commenced their attempt to train.
Having gone past the basic flying stage, Cdr Arun Prakash and I were appointed to British Aerospace facility at Dunsfold in Surrey for background factory experience to learn the nuances of test-flying the Harrier. We had the benefit of flying with the legendary John Farley, the Chief Test Pilot of BAE who is known to be father of the Harriers. He is the pilot who explained and demonstrated to the world the technique to handle the beast called Harrier.
We also attended a special course at the Rolls Royce factory in Bristol where Harrier’s engine Pegasus was manufactured. Anyone who understood the Pegasus would invariably master the flying technique of the Harrier. In fact, during Harrier instructor’s course we were made to fly one full circuit and vertical landing with reference to the Jet Pipe Temperature gauge alone!
This was followed by Sea Harrier Operational Flying Training with the RN at RNAS Yeovilton in Somerset. Almost a year was spent to learn and exploit the Sea Harrier through the full spectrum of her operational envelope including the Deck Landing by day on board the HMS Hermes (which was later bought by IN and christened as Viraat in 1986).
Despite pressures from the RN to accept a British flying instructor for training in India, the Indian Navy stuck to her guns to use Indian Navy’s flying instructor for ab initio training at home when we returned in December 1983. In fact, IN flew the Sea Harriers far longer than the RN. It is also a testimony to the skills of our engineers — 52 in total — that Sea Harrier frame No 602 which was the first aircraft to be accepted by the Indian Navy in 1983 in the UK was also the last aircraft to switch off after a flying display on the day of her de-induction on 11 May 2016 at Goa! | aerospace |

Britain’s Civil Aviation Authority charged David Henderson with two offenses under the Air Navigation Order 2016 earlier this month. At a hearing in Cardiff, he denied endangering the safety of an aircraft and attempting to discharge a passenger without valid permission or authorisation. Sala, 28, died after a single-engine Piper Malibu aircraft flown by David Ibbotson crashed north of the Channel island of Guernsey in January 2019. It also concerns the bad weather and whether he was “competent to fly” in such conditions, Cardiff Crown Court was told.

Really, best thing that could happen to Qantas. Give up the pretense and just fold. Qantas has aged and it has aged badly. I’ve been travelling regularly for over 20 years now and when I first started flying, Qantas was my airline of choice, even though the service level of the Asian airlines was greater. The reason? It was the safest airline around. I was kind of like Rain Man when travelling. I read the safety cards and knew the differences between aircraft and I even looked at and photographed the different liveries of the various airlines I saw.
The important thing from those early days was that I knew the flight attendants (they were still hotesses and stewards then) were actually not waiters but rather were safety officers first.
The Asian airlines caught up on the safety side and I started to travel on Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines amongst others as well as the likes of British Airways, KLM and Lufthansa in Europe. Qantas service improved but they never really managed to star at the service side of things, relying instead to trading on their safety record.
Now, things are changing. Qantas has had so many incidents lately that you have to start to wonder. Some have been blaming it on the off-shore servicing of the aircraft but realistically, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines and so on, well, all their servicing is (from an Australian viewpoint) off-shore as well and they aren’t having the same problems.
I think that at all levels, Qantas has just ceased to care. Executive management are interested in selling it and that’s about it whilst the rest of the staff are more interested in where they will work when it is sold.
On a flight from Sydney to London in September, we had to fly Qantas. The return, London to Sydney, was British Airways. Remembering that the staff on the aircraft are there are safety officers first, compare the two airlines. On the Qantas flight we had left Singapore and were heading across the sub-continent, when we hit some turbulence. The seat belt light was illuminated and passengers asked to return to their seats. None of the flight attendants checked the cabin to make sure passengers were safely secured, they all just disappeared to their seats as well. Compare that to the British Airways flight we took back from London. Again, over the sub-continent we hit turbulence. The seat belt light was illuminated and then the flight attendants checked the cabin to ensure that all passengers were secured in their seat, even though the plane was bouncing around the sky.
Nah – don’t just merge Qantas with British Airways – sell the airline and be done with it. | aerospace |

The laser systems, should they be used, would work to disrupt a missile’s ability to target these cargo jets.
Various incidents have taken place over the years involving missiles launched at civilian aircraft using MANPADS, which remains a threat to a variety of flights (via State.gov). These events, some of which have resulted in the loss of life, are often due to misidentification, yet the intent behind the action has no bearing on its consequences.
Laser anti-missile systems help protect against these threats, as they work by disrupting the missile’s ability to target a plane. The laser systems pose a potential threat of their own, however, particularly to other aircraft and people on the ground. Among other things, these lasers can cause eye damage and skin burns.
FedEx, as part of its request to install these anti-missile laser systems on Airbus A321-200 aircraft, notes that steps would be taken to address the safety issues presented by this type of defense technology. FedEx first sought permission to add the defense system to its cargo planes in October 2019; its request is detailed in a document published on the Federal Register.
FedEx operates hundreds of cargo planes, but the Airbus A321-200 isn’t yet in use as part of its fleet, according to NBC. The document published on the Federal Register notes that the application only covers this particular airplane model and not the wider FedEx fleet.
Whether the company ultimately equips these future aircraft with anti-missile laser systems will depend entirely on whether it gets FAA approval. At this time, FedEx has not commented on the request. | aerospace |

The Dornier plane crashed while landing at Simikot airport of Humla Saturday morning due to thick fog covering the mountain airstrip. The airport is some 700 km northwest of here.
“The 9N AHB Dornier plane of Sita Air carrying 5 passengers and 2 crew members crashed on the runway at around 7.10 a.m.,” Bijaya Narayan Manandhar, chief district officer, Humla told Xinhua over phone.
The plane while landing at the mountain airstrip in Humla, flew round the airport thrice due to low visibility and once it landed, the left wing collided on the ground, said Manandhar.
“All of the 7 people on board are safe though one of them has sustained minor injuries,” Manandhar said.
A small plane of Goma Air also skidded off the runway on the same airport May 27. | aerospace |

Several Air Force officials have reported that the U.S. Air Force is facing a shortage of more than 500 fighter pilots. The divide is expected to widen to more than 800 by 2022.
The shortage stems from a reduction in the number of active duty fighter squadrons.
In a written statement, Air Force officials stated that “without these fighter pilots, the Air Force will be very challenged to continue to provide the air supremacy upon which all our other forces depend.,” The statement said the shortage would affect air operations expertise and lead to a “gradual erosion of fighter pilot experience in test and training.”
Lieutenant General James Holmes, the deputy chief of staff for strategic plans and requirements for the Air Force, said only about four experienced fighter pilots are being produced each year.
In the early ‘90s, the Air Force had 100+ squadrons, compared to the current 54.
Holmes said to make up the deficit, the Air Force would likely put new active duty pilots into guard and reserve squadrons to gain experience.
“But ultimately we’re going to have to increase production and we’re going to have to increase absorption so we can fix the problem,” he said.
The current goal is to try to retain as many pilots as possible in the short term, but there is a lot of completion from commercial airlines who are hiring thousands of fighter pilots.
There is also a shortage of drone operators. In Capitol Hill testimony, Gen. Herbert “Hawk” Carlisle said that the Air Force needs approximately 200 more drone pilots in order to adequately carry out current missions. He added that the “remote piloted aircraft enterprise is one that’s in high demand, we are in high demand for fighters as well, we don’t have enough of either.” | aerospace |

Wingfoot One glided gracefully into Walterboro the afternoon of Aug.10.
Like most Florida-bound travelers, an overnight stop in Walterboro marked the half-way point in its journey. But while most of the travelers arrived after dealing with I-95 traffic, Wingfoot One flew above the congestion.
Wingfoot One is the new generation of Goodyear’s most recognizable public relations’ tool, the Goodyear Blimp.
Wingfoot One is the first of three new blimps being constructed in a partnership between Goodyear and ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik. The second one is currently under construction in Akron, Ohio.
Wingfoot One was dedicated on March 14, 2014 in Akron and, after months of flight training, was stationed at Goodyear’s blimp base in Pompano Beach, Fla.
The newest airship is 264 feet long, 54 feet longer than the GZ 20A model it replaces.
The construction contains aluminum and carbon fiber trusses, a design element that give the blimp more maneuverability. The old blimp had two 210 horsepower engines built onto the sides of its gondola.
The trusses in the new airship enable the engines, 200 horsepower, to be moved higher onto the blimp’s envelope. A third engine was also installed on the tail of the blimp.
The combination of engines allows the blimp to hover in place and increased the maximum speed from 50 miles per hour to 73 miles per hour.
For the past month, Wingfoot One and the flight staff based in Florida, were in Ohio, where a new aerial LED sign was being installed.
Returning to the home base was a four-day journey, so Wingfoot One spent the night in Virginia before making its way to Walterboro.
While a pilot and co-pilot flew the blimp, the rest of the 22 members of the flight crew moved south in a caravan of vehicles, including a specially designed truck that is quickly transformed into a mooring tower for the blimp. | aerospace |

A Word About Drone Flying
I take drone flying very seriously and safety is my number one priority while flying. I am up to date on the various local, state and federal regulations. In addition, I am a private pilot, so I'm well aware of the FAA regulations regarding United States air space. I've been piloting a flying camera since September 2014 but I've experience with small consumer drones as far back as 2008. I received my fixed wing private pilot's license (airman certificate) back in the 1980s. | aerospace |

The telescope’s mission is to look at the links between a planet’s chemistry and its environment by charting approximately 1,000 known planets outside our own solar system: known as exoplanets.
The information will provide scientists with a full picture of what exoplanets are made of, how they were formed and how they will evolve.
The Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey (Ariel) has undergone a rigorous review process throughout 2020 and is now due for launch in 2029.
With funding from the UK Space Agency (UKSA), UK research institutions – including UCL, Cardiff University and the University of Oxford – are playing a critical role in the mission by providing leadership, contributing expertise, vital hardware and software, and shaping its goals.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council’s (STFC) RAL Space, Technology Department and UK Astronomy Technology Centre have also offered essential support.
Once in orbit, Ariel will rapidly share its data with the general public, inviting space enthusiasts and budding astronomers to use the data to help select targets and characterise stars.
The spectrographs aboard the observatory will study the light that filters through a planet’s atmosphere as it passes across the face of its host star, revealing chemical fingerprints of gases that shroud the body.
The instruments will also try to refine estimates of a planet’s temperature.
Ariel will be able to detect signs of well-known ingredients in the planets’ atmospheres such as water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane.
For a select number of planets, it will also perform a deep survey of their cloud systems and study seasonal and daily atmospheric variations.
Professor Giovanna Tinetti, principal investigator for Ariel from UCL, said: ‘We are the first generation capable of studying planets around other stars.
‘Ariel will seize this unique opportunity and reveal the nature and history of hundreds of diverse worlds in our galaxy.
‘We can now embark on the next stage of our work to make this mission a reality.’
Some 4,374 worlds have been confirmed in 3,234 systems since the first exoplanet discoveries in the early 1990s.
This mission will focus on planets unlikely to host life as we know it – from extremely hot to temperate, from gaseous to rocky planets. It will also look at planets orbiting close to their parent stars and those of different masses, particularly ones that are heavier than a few Earth masses.
Science minister Amanda Solloway said: ‘Thanks to government funding, this ambitious, UK-led mission will mark the first large-scale study of planets outside the solar system and will enable our leading space scientists to answer critical questions on their formation and evolution.’ | aerospace |

AmSafe is the world’s largest manufacturer of aviation pilot, co-pilot and flight crew technical restraints. In response to concerns about health, safety and the need to help flight crews stay safe, AmSafe has engineered, tested and produced sanitized technical restraints that demonstrate a 99.9% reduction in microbial/bacterial load. AmSafe also introduced the world’s first sanitized passenger restraint in September 2020.
Bill Gehret, AmSafe Vice President of Sales, stated “the two items that you can’t avoid contact with on an aircraft are the seats and seat belts. We owe it to flight crews to extend the same level of microbial/bacterial protection to them as we do passengers. They are critically important to passenger safety and flight operations. This new product gives them additional health safety protections, as well as the peace of mind that their restraints are free of microbes and bacteria. Combining the sanitized crew restraint with sanitized demonstration belts and heavily handled items like belt extenders gives the crew member unparalleled protection.”
Behind this breakthrough technology is embedded quaternary ammonium compounds specifically formulated for effectiveness and longevity on the restraint webbing and buckle. The AmSafe sanitized restraint provides over two years of protection for the flight crew and boasts a 93% reduction in bacteria in the first 10 minutes of exposure. AmSafe has tested this new product at high usage cycles to verify its longevity, tolerance to cleaning with alcohol disinfectants and compliance to TSO C22G and TSO C114 requirements. To make it easy for airline adoption, they can maintain the same base part number as the original AmSafe restraint, allowing airlines to treat the change from a standard seatbelt to a sanitized seatbelt the same as merely changing the color.
Herb Mardany, President of AmSafe adds, “AmSafe has a long history of research, development and testing that inspires confidence in our products. Add our commitment to helping customers improve safety, reduce cleaning costs and aircraft turn times and this is what enables us to be the world leader in restraint technology.” The AmSafe Sanitized Restraint is available NOW in polyester or nylon and in any color. Operator specified custom options such as identifying tags or buckles are also available.

Johnson shut down Sept. 11 as Ike approached the Texas coast.
International Space Station flight control is scheduled to resume from Mission Control in Houston during the morning of Friday, Sept. 19. Station flight control was transferred to a backup facility near Austin, Texas, and later, to another facility at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
The Mission Control Center and other key Johnson facilities are largely unscathed, partly because of extensive preparations and the work of a hurricane rideout team of more than 60 people. However, some center buildings suffered roof, window and facade damage. Several light poles were downed, as were a number of trees. The damage assessment and cleanup continues.
Johnson employees should check the center’s Employee Information Line for status updates at 281-483-3351, and are encouraged to contact their supervisors if they have not already done so. NASA has a public Web site to distribute important information for NASA employees and contractors impacted by Hurricane Ike at:

Getting there is a matter of knowing that drones are as safe to use as any of those other tools though, which is why the FAA is focused on being able to quantify that kind of safety. Thankfully, as a recent study conducted by State Farm at one of Virginia Tech’s impact labs shows, there’s hard data to make that safety case.
This study by the Virginia Tech Mid-Atlantic Aviation Partnership (MAAP) and State Farm saw the development of unique test methods to assess the risk of a drone impact with a moving vehicle. The data from these tests supported State Farm’s successful application to the FAA for a waiver to a previous provision of 14 CFR Part 107 prohibiting drone flights over moving vehicles. The results of the test are telling on multiple levels.
“Post-impact inspections from the study showed an interesting result,” said Dave Phillips, State Farm spokesperson. “At impact speeds between 25 and 62.5 mph, the only signs of the collision were streaks of rubber and plastic transferred from the drone as it slid up the glass. When the Mavic hit at 67 miles per hour, a web of cracks shot across the windshield as it bowed inward, spitting shards of glass onto the floor. The slim margin between a virtually pristine windshield and a destroyed one drew a clear boundary around low-risk scenarios. The waiver application reasoned that as long as potential relative impact speeds never exceeded 62 mph, flights over moving vehicles presented minimal risk. The FAA agreed.”
State Farm is no stranger to drone technology, as the company has been making efforts to utilize drones since 2015, when they were the first insurer to receive FAA approval to operate drones for commercial use. In 2018, State Farm was part of a team selected for the FAA’s drone Integration Pilot Program (IPP) while in 2019 the company received a national waiver that allowed the company to conduct drone operations over people (OOP) and flights beyond the pilot’s visual line of sight (BVLOS). They continue to expand their use of drone technology to help their customers and manage their business efficiently, which this study will go a long way towards defining.
The data demonstrated that a small parachute-equipped drone won’t actually damage a car traveling at average in-town speed limits. This finding helps address safety concerns related to flying drones over moving vehicles, but there are still limitations when flying over people.
“Drones are safe to use for claim assessments and inspections when flying over vehicles in areas where speed limits are less than 62 mph,” Phillips told Commercial UAV News. “The speed at which a drone would hit a windshield is the sum of the vehicle’s speed and the speed of the wind pushing the drone toward it. In the average suburban neighborhood, with speed limits between 25 and 35 mph, even the maximum wind speed the drone can tolerate — about 23 mph — would still keep potential impact speeds below the 62 mph threshold.”
The FAA has been very open and receptive to these sorts of safety cases that have been developed by State Farm and Virginia Tech. This type of research directly supports the FAA’s work to encourage innovation while also balancing safety concerns to help ensure that drones can be utilized in numerous commercial applications. Improving safety through the use of technology is always at the forefront of their research to support these uses, but the effects go far beyond these specific applications of drone technology.
“To make the case for a new operation, you need quantitative data about potential risks,” said Tombo Jones, MAAP’s director. “When we started this project, there was no data we were aware of that addressed the effects of a collision between a drone and a car. The test methods we developed to get that data were critical for this particular use case, but they also helped establish a foundation for empirically evaluating impact risk. Those principles, which can be adapted for a variety of scenarios, will be valuable as drone operations expand.”
Right now, State Farm utilizes drones to do everything from conducting individual roof inspections to help assess large-scale damage after catastrophes to assist with risk modeling so that their customers can make informed decisions to help mitigate losses before they happen. As Jones said though, these lessons will be applicable for numerous scenarios across multiple industries.
Data from studies like the ones developed by State Farm and Virginia Tech help operators, organizations and the general public understand the drones can be both safe and reliable when flying over moving vehicles. Doing so is helping to build a complete a safety case to the FAA involving expanded operations over people that will ensure drones achieve the ubiquity that so many have forecasted will be as lucrative as it is empowering. | aerospace |

The part of the fuselage that broke off is a 27 kg piece of fuselage with a window, a middle exit door plug that can be used as an emergency exit in certain situations.
After the fuselage broke off, the aircraft returned to its departure city of Portland and made a safe emergency landing. The aircraft was carrying 177 passengers and crew without any casualties.

At a press conference, NTSB chief Jennifer Homendy said that pilots had reported pressure warnings on three previous flights by the Boeing in question and added that the decision to limit long over-water flights was made to “allow the aircraft to return to the airport quickly” in case the warnings recurred.
It is not yet clear whether the warnings are related to the 5th of January incident,
as the aircraft was brand new, delivered to Alaska Airlines in October, when it was declared airworthy by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Homendy said that the key missing piece – fuselage – needed for further investigation had been found in a Portland teacher’s garden.
The NTSB chief described the situation on board Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 as “very chaotic” and “frightening”, adding that no information was available from the cockpit voice recorder because the recording was automatically erased after the two-hour limit was reached.
The dramatic explosion of the Alaska Airlines plane occurred at an altitude of 4.8 km, resulting in a large hole in the side of the plane, described by witnesses as as wide as a refrigerator, and a young boy said that the force of the decompression tore his shirt.
The FAA has grounded approximately 171 aircraft of the same type as safety inspections continue.
The European Union’s aviation regulator, following the lead of the FAA, has decided to suspend Boeing 737-9 Max aircraft following the incident in the US. The disruption is expected to be minimal as European airlines are not believed to be using Max 9 aircraft with the configuration mentioned in the FAA order, as reported by the BBC.

TAMPA - Update: The plane took off from Peter O. Knight Airport about 8:30 p.m. Stay with TBO.com for updates. *** Air Force officials are trying to figure out why an Air Force C-17 Globemaster III cargo jet heading to MacDill Air Force Base instead landed at Peter O. Knight Airport this afternoon. The plane, flown by a crew from the 305th Air Mobility Wing at McGuire Air Force Basee in New Jersey, was arriving from Southwest Asia carrying 23 passengers and 19 crew when it made an "unscheduled landing," according to Sgt David Carbajal, a McGuire spokesman. There appears to have been no damage to the aircraft or the airport, said Carbajal.Air Force officials still do not know why the plane landed at the small civilian airfield on Davis Islands. The incident, said Carbajal, is under investigation. The Air Force is planning to move the plane, said Carbajal, who did not immediately have details about how or when. The flight was in support of U.S. Central Command, based at MacDill, Carbajal said. Mistaken landings at nearby airfields are not unheard of across the country, but most occur at night by commercial or general aviation pilots. In 1980, a Delta Air Lines Boeing 727 bound for Tampa International Airport with 90 passengers landed safely in bad weather at MacDill. The main runway at Peter O. Knight is 3,580 feet long and 100 feet wide, aligned in the same direction as MacDill's runway that is 11,421 feet long and 151 feet wide. An unloaded C-17 is able to take off on an austere runway 90 feet wide and as short as 3,000 feet load, depending upon its fuel load and local temperatures, according to various Air Force and Government Accountability Office documents. Ryan Gucwa, a pilot, was getting ready to get in his Piper Navajo and take off from the airport when he looked up and saw "this huge C-17 coming in over the top of the shipping port." Seeing military airplanes over Peter O. Knight was not unusual, Gucwa said, but "this was only 100 feet off the ground and that is bizarre. Once the wheels touched the ground, I was terrified that there was no way to stop in time." The nose landing gear of the cargo jet stopped about six to 10 feet from the end of the runway, said Gucwa, who took cell phone video of the landing. The plane, he said, had markings from McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey. Officials there would not immediately comment. The landing surprised people who work in downtown Tampa office towers. Frank Kilgore, a pricing manager for Hapag-Lloyd, an international shipping firm with office in the Suntrust Tower, said he heard someone in his office yell that the plane was on a final approach to the small municipal airport on Davis Islands. "I knew immediately that it was not right," Kilgore said. Commercial real estate broker Jason Donald was looking out his office window in a downtown skyscraper and saw the plane pass low over the fuel tanks in the Port of Tampa, then turn south towards Peter O. Knight. "I face directly over the Bay and saw that plane come in so fast and thought to myself 'Never in a million years is he going to make it,'" Donald said. "I was waiting for flames." There seemed to be a moment when the pilot realized the mistake, Donald said, but too late. "He was carrying so much speed, I thought, 'This is not going to happen,'" he said. "If his front tire was not in the grass at the end of the runway, he was darn close." It took about 17 seconds from the time the cargo jet's wheels touched down to time it came to a screeching halt near the end of the runway, according to video taken by Ryan Gucwa, who was at the scene. The Peter O. Knight Airport is not equipped with a control tower. Aircraft rely on radio communications for landings there. Federal Aviation Administration controllers at Tampa International Airport provide approach control to aircraft landing at MacDill and hand off aircraft to the MacDill tower when aircraft are about 10 miles out. Peter O. Knight Airport is temporarily closed as the Air Force works to move the plane, Tampa International spokeswoman Janet Zink said. Neither the C-17 nor the airfield was damaged, airport and Air Force officials said.

"The helicopter went missing at around 2 p.m. (1100 GMT) on Monday. We lost contact with them during a sandstorm," said a senior Iraqi security official in Nineveh province.
Police in the area where the helicopter was believed to have gone down said U.S. aircraft were searching for it.
"Iraqi and Coalition forces are currently working together to search, confirm and investigate this report," said Captain Stephen Bomar, a U.S. military spokesman in northern Iraq.
An Iraqi military official in neighbouring Salahuddin province said the helicopter's pilots had radioed that they planned to make a forced landing because of the dust storm.
Iraq is slowly rebuilding its air force, once one of the world's largest, after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003. Its helicopters are mainly used for reconnaissance missions and to ferry troops.

Flying a UAV/drone on CSU property presents a set of concerns and risks which must be mitigated before flight. The CSU Campus is a very populated place and compliance with FAA Part 107 rules is nearly impossible without a detailed flight plan and ground crew assisting with the flight. Some of the major concerns arise from flight over people, to privacy concerns near student housing.
Anyone wishing to operate a UAV/drone on CSU property or for CSU sponsored activities on or off campus, is required to obtain approval from the Office of Risk Management & Insurance prior to operation. In order to receive permission to operate a UAV/drone you will need to provide the following to CSU Risk Management and Insurance:
- FAA certified Part 107 sUAS Pilot
- Appropriate liability insurance
- Aircraft registration with the FAA
- Drone Approval Request
CSU only allows UAV/drone flight on CSU Property for the purpose of CSU related activities or business. Recreational or hobbyist use of UAS/drones or model aircraft on or over University property, not for a University-sponsored academic, research or business purpose is not permitted.
The CSU Drone Center maintains a fleet of CSU owned/insured drones, and certified pilots. We are available as a resource to assist with UAS/drone flight at CSU. We may be able to help in providing aircraft/pilots to assist in getting permission/flight needs on CSU property. Contact the Drone Center Coordinator for more information. | aerospace |

These roles are as follows:
In summary, the Minister of Transport has powers to make Civil Aviation Rules related to noise control and if this is done, the Director is required to enforce them.
A number of existing Civil Aviation Rules relate to noise. Those rules fall into two categories:
While the CAA has a role, it is not the relevant body for implementing all noise abatement controls at aerodromes. Many such controls are authorised by the Resource Management Act 1991 and are dealt with by territorial authorities.
Some forms of noise abatement control, however, involve the regulation or use of airspace and the operating procedures of aircraft. As the regulatory authority responsible for aviation safety, this is the sole responsibility of the Civil Aviation Authority.
If territorial authorities ascertain that there is an aircraft noise problem within their jurisdiction that can only be dealt with by airspace control, a case can be put to the Civil Aviation Authority by the territorial authority in the form of a petition to amend Part 93 to add specific noise abatement procedures in the vicinity of an airport. | aerospace |

As the restrictions start to loose, Internatioanl airlines have started to resume flight operations to China.
Lufthansa, a part of Europe’s largest airline group, restarted flights to the mainland in the week , operating once every week between Frankfurt and Shanghai within the first regular scheduled flights operated by the German carrier since the pandemic began.
“The flights between Shanghai and Frankfurt are hopefully only the primary of further Lufthansa Group connections within the coming weeks and months between China and our home markets Germany, Austria, and Switzerland,” said Veli Polat, Lufthansa’s head of sales for Greater China.
United Airlines will resume its route between San Francisco and Shanghai, via Seoul, beginning July 8, consistent with a corporation handout , while fellow US carrier Delta Air Lines restarted its China flights in the week with twice-weekly trips into Shanghai.
This came after China and therefore the US backed faraway from a dispute over aviation travel, during a positive development against a bigger backdrop of worsening relations between the 2 countries. during a reciprocal arrangement, two flights per week for every airline are going to be permitted. Other foreign airlines are going to be allowed a basic frequency of 1 flight per week.
“Resuming service to Shanghai from the us may be a significant step in rebuilding our international network,” said Patrick Quayle, United’s vice-president of international network and alliances | aerospace |

This is a major step in challenging the United States' supremacy regarding space research and travel. President Xi Jinping has announced ambitious space travel goals, including a lunar base by 2025, the ability to man the facility by 2030, and a long-term goal of mining the moon for energy resources. With these announced plans, there is pressure mounting on the United States to continue to reach new solar milestones.

His parents were Joseph Stanley and Winifred Mary Slade (nee Walker). Stanley attended Lord Williams’s School in Thame in the 1930s, and the CWGC records a marriage to a Mary Theresa.
Stanley joined the RAF (VR) in April 1941 as NCO aircrew, service number 1443184 and was promoted to Pilot Officer from Flight Sergeant on 5th April 1943.
He was serving with the Canadians in 405 (Vancouver) Sqn based at Gransden Lodge near Cambridge flying Lancaster Mk III bombers leading the bomber attacks as “pathfinders”.
On 27th September 1943 six aircraft from 405 Sqn took part in a bombing mission for Hanover. JB210, D Delta took off at 19.45hrs with a full crew of seven including Stanley Slade and nothing was heard from them again. Four of the six aircraft successfully returned, although 49 aircraft were lost in the raid. As JB210 was lost without a trace, it is considered that the aircraft probably went down over the North Sea.
The crew are all recorded as being killed on 28th September 1943.

This accident creates a question about the future of Russian space program and it’s most known project GLONASS – Russian satellite navigation systems which is a competition to American GPS.
The unmanned Proton-M rocket fell 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) from the Baikonur launch site after an emergency shutdown of its engines 17 seconds into its flight. The explosion was so big that it created a 200m diameter crater followed by clouds of dangerous toxic gases.
But from Russian perspective it was more than just crush of the rocket… It was carrying worth $200 mln 3 navigation satellites to be used with Russia’s GLONASS positioning system. But this in not only about a money… even more about the reputation of Russian space industry, which competes not only with US but also with Chinese and European programs which are getting stronger every year.
This Monday one of GLONASS satellite got broken after just 4 years in space. Now 3 other satellites which where about to change the old are missing… The system requires 24 operating satellites with a few extra to increase the quality. Now Russian might be forced to limit the used of the system to its own boundaries.
In 2011 new iPhone had installed microprocessor which was for the first time able to operate not only with GPS but also with GLONASS… Now the reputation of the system will be severely challenged…

Most of the cloud coverage in the dataset is from geostationary satellites, and the satellites positioned over the U.S. and its territories are known as GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite). NOAA is launching the next generation of GOES satellites, called GOES-R Series, which will greatly improve weather observations.
The first satellite in the series, GOES-R, is scheduled for launch on November 19, 2016 at approximately 4:42pm EST. Once the satellite reaches geostationary orbit, it will be known as GOES-16. There will be four satellites in the series: GOES-R, GOES-S, GOES-T and GOES-U.
GOES-R will provide continuous imagery and atmospheric measurements of Earth’s Western Hemisphere, total lightning data, and space weather monitoring to provide critical atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanic, climatic, solar and space data.
GOES-R is a game changer. Here is why!
Improved hurricane track and intensity forecasts
Increased thunderstorm and tornado warning lead time
Improved aviation flight route planning
Improved air quality warnings
Improved solar flare warnings for communications and navigation disruptions
More accurate monitoring of energetic particles responsible for radiation hazards to humans and spacecraft
Better monitoring of space weather to improve geomagnetic storm forecasting
GOES-R's environmental data products will support short-term 1-2 day weather forecasts and severe storm watches and warnings, maritime forecasts, seasonal predictions, drought outlooks and space weather predictions.
GOES-R will offer 3x more spectral channels with 4x greater resolution, 5x faster than ever before.
GOES-R can multi-task. The satellite will scan the Western Hemisphere every 15 minutes, the Continental U.S. every 5 minutes, and areas of severe weather every 30-60 seconds, all at the same time.
Satellites provide more than 95 percent of the data routinely assimilated into National Weather Service numerical weather prediction models.
GOES-R can provide images of severe weather as frequently as every 30 seconds!
The satellite's revolutionary Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM) will be the first-ever operational lightning mapper flown from geostationary orbit.
The GOES-R series will maintain the two-satellite system implemented by the current GOES satellites. The operational GOES-R series satellites will be 75⁰ W and 137⁰ W and their operational lifetime extends through December 2036. For a history of GOES satellites, click here. | aerospace |

The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) said on 11 October that the USA suspended flight operations.
The South Carolina crash - the first ever for the 5th-generation plane - ironically happened just a day after an F-35B successfully completed a mission in Afghanistan, an event that was reported by the Pentagon as a major milestone for the program. "Inspections are expected to be completed within the next 24 to 48 hours", Joe DellaVedova, a spokesman for the F-35 program, said in a statement to Fox News.
An official report questioned earlier this year whether the F-35 was ready for combat after dozens of faults were found.
The inspection was prompted by initial data from the investigation into the crash of a Marine Corps F-35B from a training squadron at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in SC.
The Air Force has 156 F-35 aircraft in inventory; the Marine Corps has 61 and the Navy has 28.
The F-35 program, the most expensive weapon in USA military history, has been marred by delays and cost overruns and other mechanical issues.
The fault with the planes is believed to be with the fuel tube, and affects more than 250 US-owned jets, as well as almost 100 that belong to other nations including Britain.
"If suspect fuel tubes are installed, the part will be removed and replaced", DellaVedova said. If the aircraft has those, they will be replaced.
More than 320 F-35s around the world must now undergo the inspections, according to a source familiar with the program.More news: Trump hosts Kavanaugh for ceremonial swearing
A pilot sits in the cockpit of an F-35 fighter jet preparing for a training mission at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah.
Even if the glitch is to be identified and fixed, the reputational damage of the first crash of America's most expensive military aircraft program could be more enduring.
The temporary suspension of flight operations will also impact worldwide partners, such as Israel, that have the F-35.
The issue as described by the JPO indicates the issue is believed to come from a subcontractor who supplied the fuel tubes for engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney.
The crash in SC involved an F-35B, which is able to land vertically and costs around $100m (£75m).
The United Kingdom, an F-35 partner, said it was pausing some, but not all, flight operations.
The US Air Force and European customers consider the F-35's operating costs a major problem.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office has projected a total lifetime cost of $1 trillion for the program.
Flight operations for the strike fighter have been temporarily suspended as the military conducts a fleet-wide inspection of a fuel tube within the engines of all F-35 aircraft, a Pentagon spokesman told Task & Purpose.
The plane, manufactured by Lockheed Martin but including parts made in several other countries, has been sold to a number of nations, including the UK, Japan, Italy, Turkey and South Korea. | aerospace |

On May 31, at 20:59 Universal Time, the asteroid "1998 QE2" will make a majestic pass by planet Earth. While there is no danger of impact, it's the closest the asteroid will get to earth for the next two hundred years. Estimated to be 1.7 miles long, the flying space rock will pass as close as 3.6 million miles-that's a distance about 15 times greater than the Earth-Moon pairing.
While optical astronomers and amateur observers aren't particularly interested in this close pass (it will be difficult but not impossible to spot with a telescope) radar astronomers couldn't be more excited...

Nearly 60 Airbus A380s had been grounded in India across GoFirst and Indigo. But the grounded impacted GoFirst disproportionately more than Indigo due to the former's ultra-low cost business model, which relied on a fleet of aircraft of a similar kind to permit aircraft-related overheads like parts and maintenance benefit from scale. Indigo, being a larger competitor, however, has deeper pockets and a more diversified fleet to keep its operations running.
India's civil aviation watchdog the Directorate General of Civil Aviation had previously stepped in to resolve the issue. A team from P&W also visited India over these engine issues.
GoFirst is planning on suing P&W over its engine woes. The beleaguered airline has told the authorities that it seeks compensation from the engine maker for nearly ₹8,000 crores which would rejuvenate the airline. The Wadia Group has also said that they are committed to maintaining a presence in the civil aviation sector. As recently as 2019, the airline posted a small profit after tax at ₹123.34 crores for FY19 but which snowballed into a loss of ₹1,278 crores for FY20.
For the time being, GoFirst has suspended all flights till May 12.
A global tale of engine woes
P&W's backlog in servicing these engines is an overhang of the supply chain bottlenecks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine since February 2022.
But these problems have plagued other airlines around the globe too.
European aviation giant Lufthansa's Swiss subsidiary has grounded a third of its Airbus fleet of 30 aircraft in Zurich over this issue. "Way down in their supply chains there are elements missing and companies need to rebuild their production facilities", the group's CEO Carsten Spohr said in its May earnings call that saw the airline return to profitability for the first time in the post-pandemic era, as reported by Bloomberg. The company is considering more such aircraft to boost its regional fleet.
AirBaltic, the flag airline of Latvia, too has fallen victim to the P&W's supply chain constraints, leading them to cancel flights and cut down on routes. Like GoFirst's model, it too operates a fleet of a singular kind of aircraft, the Airbus A220-300.. The CEO of the airline, Martin Gauss, told Simply Flying, an aviation news website, that he expected these issues to go into 2025, praising the quality of the engine but criticising procurement and maintenance timelines by P&W. His company is relying on the delivery of new Airbus aircraft to mitigate these shortcomings for the time being.
In Africa, Air Tanzania and Air Senegal are reportedly collaborating over their Airbus aircraft that have been stranded over engine issues since last November without an end date. P&W told Simply Flying on the issues faced by these airlines, "Engine availability is under pressure industry-wide, particularly due to the availability of hardware to upgrade and overhaul engines....We expect supply chain pressures to ease later this year, which will support increased engine output and reduce impacts to operators. Ultimately, the GTF engine is the most fuel-efficient, sustainable engine for narrow-body aircraft, and we continue to see strong demand." The CEO of Air Tanzania even said that the engine problems were impacting flights across Africa to even airlines like EgyptAir. The story also says that the airlines are exploring jointly taking legal action against P&W citing an inability to fulfill contractual obligations.
In the United States, regional Hawaiian Airlines grounded two Airbus aircraft in November last year over engine maintenance issues. The CEO of Hawaiian Holdings, the parent company of the airline, is quoted saying,
"We have encountered constraints on the availability of A321 engines, for which the Pratt & Whitney MRO supply chain has been unable to keep pace. Most recently, this has resulted in two of our eighteen A321neo being grounded for an extended period awaiting available serviceable engines. I've talked a couple of times about some risk to aircraft availability, not so much around aircraft deliveries, but it's the supply chain for spare engines, particularly on the A321 where we know we're already running short.”
However, of the 18 Airbus aircraft, specifically Airbus A321neo models it has in its fleet, 16 continue to ply normally. It usually uses these aircraft to fly to cities along the West Coast of the United States, such as Portland and Los Angeles.
Further, Spirit Airlines, an ultra-low cost carrier based in the United States who too operates a fleet of nearly 70 Airbus A320neo. “Pratt & Whitney continues to struggle to support its worldwide fleet of neo aircraft as MRO [maintenance repair and operations] capacity remains constrained and turnaround times for engines in the shop have been nearly three times longer than the historical averages for neo engines,” the CEO of Spirit Ted Christie is quoted saying at an earnings call on February 7.
Like the CEO of AirBaltic, Christie too praised the performance of the engines, but lamented that there was a lack of spare parts and engines. In a two-week period, Spirit Airline saw two aircraft being grounded to seven aircraft being inoperable due to engine issues. These problems will cascade into Airbus' delivery schedule to the airline too, where deliveries scheduled to take place in 2023 expecting to spill over into 2024 and even 2025.

Pulling together our noise initiatives.
Fly Quiet and Clean is a unique framework that pulls together all our noise initiatives. Launched at our noise seminar in December 2012, it includes both on-going initiatives and new thinking. The nine components of Fly Quiet &Clean are:
Airport Collaborative Decision Making aims to improve the operational efficiency of all airport operators by reducing delays, increasing the predictability of events during a flight and optimising resources. This in turn then provides the best environmental solutions and reduces noise and emissions for aircraft on the ground and in the air. More information is available at www.eurocontrol.int
This piece of work involves Gatwick and NATS, the air traffic services provider, working together to look at how the airspace directly affecting Gatwick flights can be better managed with more direct routes and better ways of operating. The result will be reduced noise and emissions.
Precise Area Navigation (P-RNAV)
Precision based satellite navigation is the ability of an aircraft’s flight management system to navigate by means of waypoints defined by latitude and longitude, rather than by conventional ground based navigational aids.
Airline operators and the CAA are eager for the potential advantages offered by existing equipment to be fully exploited. The deployment of P-RNAV will realise a number of operational benefits, depending on the type of P-RNAV application and the target environment. These could include controller and pilot workload, improved situational awareness, noise reduction, reduced emissions, fuel savings and reduced engine maintenance costs. The P-RNAV standard is intended for airspace around airports and requires that an aircraft is capable of trackkeeping accuracy of ±1 nautical miles for 95% of its flight time. Further information can be found at www.nats.co.uk
Airlines are an essential part of our quiet and clean story, as they are fundamental to achieving noise reduction. Our aim is to continue to work with our airlines to help them improve the way they fly through collaborative working, trials and by sharing best practice.
Noise Action Plan (NAP)
The NAP is an evolving five-year plan for how Gatwick manages noise which was adopted by the Secretary of State for Transport in 2010. The NAP sets out how we manage noise not only on a day-to-day basis, but also in the medium and longer term. View our NAP.
Departures and Arrivals Codes of Practice
The Departures and Arrivals Codes of Practice are collaborative initiatives driven by Sustainable Aviation and its member organisations. Many years of work, including trials, modelling and data analysis have developed best practice methods for arriving and departing aircraft. These have been identified and implemented throughout airlines in order to reduce noise and emissions.
Quiet and Clean Innovation Group
The Quiet and Clean Innovation Group is a dedicated team looking at creating ground-breaking solutions within our Fly Quiet and Clean programme. The group is technical in nature with a membership comprising airlines, NATS and the regulator, and is distinct from our Noise and Track Monitoring Advisory Group and the Flight Operations Safety Committee.
Sustainable Aviation is an essential link within our programme because of its reputation within industry. You can find out more about them at www.sustainableaviation.co.uk
Technology is improving all the time and will, in time, further improve the impacts of the aviation industry. Advancements in aircraft design, the overall strategic UK and European wide airspace management, together with forward thinking within the aviation industry are all key components to the future of noise management for us. | aerospace |

The ET is 153.8 feet long and has a diameter of 27.6 feet.
Beginning with the STS-6 mission, a lightweight ET was introduced. Although future tanks may vary slightly, each will weigh approximately 66,000 pounds inert. The last heavyweight tank, flown on STS-7, weighed approximately 77,000 pounds inert. For each pound of weight reduced from the ET, the cargo-carrying capability of the space shuttle spacecraft is increased almost one pound. The weight reduction was accomplished by eliminating portions of stringers (structural stiffeners running the length of the hydrogen tank), using fewer stiffener rings and by modifying major frames in the hydrogen tank. Also, significant portions of the tank are milled differently to reduce thickness, and the weight of the ET's aft solid rocket booster attachments were reduced by using a stronger, yet lighter and less expensive titanium alloy. Earlier several hundred pounds were eliminated by deleting the anti-geyser line. The line paralleled the oxygen feed line and provided a circulation path for liquid oxygen to reduce accumulation of gaseous oxygen in the feed line while the oxygen tank was being filled before launch. After propellant loading data from ground tests and the first few space shuttle missions was assessed, the anti-geyser line was removed for STS-5 and subsequent missions. The total length and diameter of the ET remain unchanged.
The ET is attached to the orbiter at one forward attachment point and two aft points. In the aft attachment area, there are also umbilicals that carry fluids, gases, electrical signals and electrical power between the tank and the orbiter. Electrical signals and controls between the orbiter and the two solid rocket boosters also are routed through those umbilicals.
The liquid oxygen tank is an aluminum monocoque structure composed of a fusion-welded assembly of preformed, chem-milled gores, panels, machined fittings and ring chords. It operates in a pressure range of 20 to 22 psig. The tank contains anti-slosh and anti-vortex provisions to minimize liquid residuals and damp fluid motion. The tank feeds into a 17-inch- diameter feed line that conveys the liquid oxygen through the intertank, then outside the ET to the aft right-hand ET / orbiter disconnect umbilical. The 17-inch-diameter feed line permits liquid oxygen to flow at approximately 2,787 pounds per second with the SSMEs operating at 104 percent or permits a maximum flow of 17,592 gallons per minute. The liquid oxygen tank's double-wedge nose cone reduces drag and heating, contains the vehicle's ascent air data system (for nine tanks only) and serves as a lightning rod. The liquid oxygen tank's volume is 19,563 cubic feet. It is 331 inches in diameter, 592 inches long and weighs 12,000 pounds empty.
The intertank is a steel / aluminum semimonocoque cylindrical structure with flanges on each end for joining the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks. The intertank houses ET instrumentation components and provides an umbilical plate that interfaces with the ground facility arm for purge gas supply, hazardous gas detection and hydrogen gas boiloff during ground operations. It consists of mechanically joined skin, stringers and machined panels of aluminum alloy. The intertank is vented during flight. The intertank contains the forward SRB-ET attach thrust beam and fittings that distribute the SRB loads to the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks. The intertank is 270 inches long, 331 inches in diameter and weighs 12,100 pounds.
Each propellant tank has a vent and relief valve at its forward end. This dual-function valve can be opened by ground support equipment for the vent function during prelaunch and can open during flight when the ullage (empty space) pressure of the liquid hydrogen tank reaches 38 psig or the ullage pressure of the liquid oxygen tank reaches 25 psig.
The liquid oxygen tank contains a separate, pyrotechnically operated, propulsive tumble vent valve at its forward end. At separation, the liquid oxygen tumble vent valve is opened, providing impulse to assist in the separation maneuver and more positive control of the entry aerodynamics of the ET.
There are eight propellant-depletion sensors, four each for fuel and oxidizer. The fuel-depletion sensors are located in the bottom of the fuel tank. The oxidizer sensors are mounted in the orbiter liquid oxygen feed line manifold downstream of the feed line disconnect. During SSME thrusting, the orbiter general-purpose computers constantly compute the instantaneous mass of the vehicle due to the usage of the propellants. Normally, main engine cutoff is based on a predetermined velocity; however, if any two of the fuel or oxidizer sensors sense a dry condition, the engines will be shut down.
The locations of the liquid oxygen sensors allow the maximum amount of oxidizer to be consumed in the engines, while allowing sufficient time to shut down the engines before the oxidizer pumps cavitate (run dry). In addition, 1,100 pounds of liquid hydrogen are loaded over and above that required by the 6-1 oxidizer / fuel engine mixture ratio. This assures that MECO from the depletion sensors is fuel-rich; oxidizer-rich engine shutdowns can cause burning and severe erosion of engine components.
Four pressure transducers located at the top of the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen tanks monitor the ullage pressures.
Each of the two aft external tank umbilical plates mate with a corresponding plate on the orbiter. The plates help maintain alignment among the umbilicals. Physical strength at the umbilical plates is provided by bolting corresponding umbilical plates together. When the liquid oxygen tank and three for the liquid hydrogen tank. One of the liquid oxygen tank umbilical valves is for liquid oxygen, the other for gaseous oxygen. The liquid hydrogen tank umbilical has two valves for liquid and one for gas. The intermediate-diameter liquid hydrogen umbilical is a recirculation umbilical used only during the liquid hydrogen chill-down sequence during prelaunch.
A swing-arm-mounted cap to the fixed service structure covers the oxygen tank vent on top of the ET during the countdown and is retracted about two minutes before lift- off. The cap siphons off oxygen vapor that threatens to form large ice on the ET, thus protecting the orbiter's thermal protection system during launch.
Various parameters are monitored and displayed on the flight deck display and control panel and are transmitted to the ground.
The contractor for the external tank is Martin Marietta Aero space, New Orleans, La. The tank is manufactured at Michoud, La. Motorola, Inc., Scottsdale, Ariz., is the contractor for range safety receivers. | aerospace |
