32º 50′ 32″ N/ 96º 50′ 07″ W The Frontiers of Flight Museum is spacious, well designed and welcoming with several aircraft as well as aerospace exhibits centered on the aviation history of the United States. The museum also has learning facilities and programs for the young. On the visit that is the subject of this post we observed the main floor (it has a nearly surrounding balcony) has a lofted ceiling at least three stories above had made space available for a large gathering later in the evening. The museum must be popular for meetings as a large one was occurring during the visit in the large second floor area between the main floor and adjoining wing which houses a children’s activity/discovery area (one where exercise accompanies learning) as well as an SR-71 flight simulator (display, not ride) and Southwest Airlines exhibits. Since the museum is located at the southeastern corner of Dallas Love Field (DAL), home of Southwest Airlines, it is small surprise that Southwest Airlines is represented here, or even a sponsor. What may be a surprise is its presence which is large as it covers four decades of the airline’s history. Some of the exhibits are the Spirit of Kittyhawk Boeing 737-300 (nosed into the museum), another nose section of a 737 (which can be entered) as well as then-and-now ticket counter exhibits (quite entertaining for all ages). The main part of the museum, as well as on the grounds, is saturated with aviation history from a replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s pyramidal parachute up to an F-16B “Viper” — not to mention professional scale models from the museum’s workshop (which can be easily viewed as well as visited on a moment’s notice) throughout, the Apollo 7 Command Module, missiles and aircraft from all eras of aviation. Lighter-than-air aircraft are also explained and accompanied by a striking exhibit from the tragic wreck of the Hindenburg (LZ-129) — the radio operator’s chair with small parts from the wreckage. The display plaque informs the chair survived the fire in good part due to the construction of the radio room which was necessarily (due to potential of electrical sparks) highly insulated from the rest of the ship. An almost rare Chance Vought SSM-N-9 Regulus II missile is on the floor next to a Vought RF-8G Crusader under a Northrop T-38 Talon — with many more aircraft to explore by walking around them. Aside from those suspended from the ceiling all aircraft can be viewed up close as none are cordoned off. The belle of the ball is the rare and recently restored Vought V-173 proof of concept aircraft known affectionately as the “Flying Pancake” by many, as well as “Zimmer’s Skimmer” after the designer. A post on the Flying Pancake is slated soon for publishing. Particularly pleasing, though the entire museum is pleasing, is the Golden Age of Aviation area. A corner of the main hangar-like structure is dedicated to this era with exhibits on Adm. Richard Byrd, a large custom built model of a DC-3 in TACA airlines livery (which has to be seen to be believed as the detail is phenomenal) as well as much more from this era of adventure, daring and pioneering. It is no surprise that Amelia Earhart is featured in this area but how she is featured is, perhaps, novel. Amelia Earhart re-enactor Maxine Capua does Amelia with accuracy and energy. She entertaining and chock full of knowledge — when listening to her and asking her questions it is not hard to imagine yourself back in the Golden Age and talking with Amelia The museum, of course, is east to get to since it is located on the Dallas Love Field property. Eating facilities have no need to be there and access for everyone is easy as well as carefully thought out — though, there is a pleasant seating area with drink vending machines within eyesight of the activity/discovery area. Special note: our sincerest thanks to Marty and Jayne Davis for making this visit possible

|Role||Heavy Bomber design only| |Developed from||Heinkel He 177| |Variants||Heinkel He 274| The Heinkel He 277 was a four-engine, long range heavy bomber design, a derivative of the He 177, intended for production and use by the German Luftwaffe during World War II. The main difference was in engine configuration. Rather than using two fire-prone Daimler-Benz DB 606 "power system" engines, each of which consisted of side-by-side paired Daimler-Benz DB 601s, the He 277 was meant from the outset to use four BMW 801E 14-cylinder radial engines., each mounted in an individual nacelle. The design was never produced, due both to the deteriorating condition of the German aviation industry late in the war, and its chance for existence challenged by other long-range bomber designs from other firms, competing for Germany's increasingly scarce aviation production capacity. For many years after the war, a substantial number of aviation history books and magazine articles that dealt with late World War II German military aviation developments consistently stated that Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering, early in World War II, was becoming so frustrated by the 177A's ongoing engine problems, caused by the twin DB 606 "coupled" powerplants selected for the He 177A design in the pre-war years, that he forbade Ernst Heinkel from doing any work on a separately four-engined version of the 177 airframe, or even mentioning a new "He 277" design with four separate engines, until Heinkel brought the disagreement directly to Adolf Hitler, who supposedly not only approved of calling the new, separately engined version of the 177 the "He 277", but overruled Goering's prohibition on working on the design, previously called the "He 177B" by Heinkel as a "cover designation" to hide its existence from Goering, and the RLM, to bring it into production. Statements by Goering himself in August of 1942, however, seem to directly contradict elements of the oft-repeated story, as those statements seem to show that Goering thought that the He 177A actually had four separate engines, and derisively labeled the coupled engine arrangements as "welded-together engines", in his complaints about the He 177A's ongoing engine difficulties, and was anxious to see a truly four-engined version of Heinkel's heavy bomber fully developed and in production. One fact that could have fostered the origin of the post-war aviation book storyline about the "He 177B"/He 277 controversy was that the RLM, in listing the He 177 development projects that they approved of the Heinkel firm doing work on as of February 1943 (six months after Goering's recorded engine complaint statements), only included the He 177 A-5 heavy bomber, A-6 high-altitude bomber, A-7 long-range version, and the "He 277" itself. The main factor that seemingly required the lower-drag "coupled" powerplant format for the He 177A, the diving attack mandate by the RLM, which Heinkel himself vehemently disagreed with, was rescinded by Goering himself some five months before the "He 277"'s February 1943 RLM approval date, and Heinkel started work on the He 177B as a straightforward, separately four-engined development of the 177A under the B-series designation at least as early as the late summer of 1943, when official Heinkel documents began referring to the He 177B as a fully RLM approved development of the original He 177 aircraft line, and not in any way directly related to the entirely separate He 277 advanced bomber design project. In total, there were three separate efforts to develop "true four-engined versions" of the A-series Greif: the He 177B, which culminated in four prototype examples being built, with three getting airborne before the war's end; the He 274, of which only two prototypes were started before the end of World War II and completed and flown in France after the war's end; and the He 277, which only had a few airframe parts in the process of completion and no completed prototypes at any time, before or after the war. The general arrangement "Typenblatt" drawings that Heinkel's firm was developing for the He 277 show an advanced design of heavy bomber, with a 133 square meter area (1.431.6 sq. ft.) "shoulder mount" wing design, four separate BMW 801E powerplants of 1,471 kW (2,000 PS, 1,973 hp) output each at take-off, a fully-retracting conventional or nosewheel landing gear, with main gear assemblies that possessed twinned main wheels on each unit, retracting forward (for the nosewheel version, rearwards for a conventional gear arrangement) into the inner engine nacelles, and a heavily-glazed and "greenhouse"-framed clear view cockpit, with a fully glazed front section and pilot accommodation-enclosing upper section somewhat resembling what was used on the British Avro Lancaster heavy bomber, with a rearward extension atop the fuselage to just forward of the inner engine cowls, and a deep, almost slab-sided fuselage, with lines strongly reminiscent of the smaller He 219 night fighter, in a sort-of "Heinkel-familial" manner with the smaller aircraft. This similarity with the 219 even extended to the depictions of the He 277's fuselage-mounted defensive armament emplacements as proposed by Heinkel, with one forward and two aft-facing "steps" along the slightly rounded dorsal and ventral surfaces of the fuselage, much like the smaller night fighter's earliest prototypes had, for the 277's aft dorsal and ventral remote turret defensive weapons mounts, and a twin tail empennage assembly that added aerodynamic stability, and made mounting a defensive tail turret easier. Defensive armament comprised, as envisioned, a forward, remotely operated "chin turret" under the extreme nose with twin MG 151/20 cannon much as the 177B-series was intended to use, twin dorsal turrets each armed with a pair of MG 151/20 cannon, a ventral turret for lower rearwards defense, just behind the bomb bay's rear edge with another pair of MG 151/20 cannon, and a manned HL 131V tail turret with a quartet of MG 131 heavy machine guns. Throughout the time that the He 277 design was being worked on, Ernst Heinkel was facing competition from other developing heavy bomber designs, and large four-engined aircraft proposals that showed promise as heavy bombers, from Focke Wulf (the Fw 300, and later, the Ta 400), Junkers (the Ju 390), from Messerschmitt AG (the Me 264), and from his own firm's He 274 four engined, high-altitude development of the He 177. The first of these designs that the He 277 was pitted against, mostly to determine the "most producible" bomber that could also be license-built, given Germany's limited aircraft production capacity to arm the Luftwaffe with, and partially to determine the best long-range bomber design to fulfill the needs of the Amerika Bomber program, the Messerschmitt Me 264 ended up being the first design to challenge the He 277's chance for production. The Me 264 was a purpose-built long range bomber that was already flying in prototype form with four engines as early as late December of 1942, a full year after Nazi Germany had declared war on the United States, and five months after the Eighth Air Force had begun flying bomber missions against Nazi-occupied France. The four-engined Me 264's development, because of the need to use scarce strategic materials in its construction, and because of the better performance estimates that the Focke-Wulf Ta 400 and He 277 possessed, was stopped in May 1943. Because of the US involvement in the European Theater, the Luftwaffe now found that it had a serious need for a well-armed, long range bomber, which the Luftwaffe found could not be achieved with the 1,120 kW (1,500 hp) class engines it had for such a four-engined bomber, and that six engines of that same class would be needed on a strategic bomber design for a successful mission from Europe to attack the US and safely return to base, with enough of an offensive bombload to be effective, and to have enough defensive firepower for protection for a safe return.This emerging fact was recognized by Messerschmitt AG, when that firm fielded a paper project for a six-engined "Me 264B" that had a stretched wingspan outwards to 47.5 meters (155 ft 10 in), with two additional BMW 801 radial engines outboard of the existing four powerplants. In March 1943, Focke-Wulf came up with a six-engined version of their proposed Fw 300 bomber, originally powered with just four BMW 801E radials. Their more advanced Ta 400 design, first proposed in October 1943 and meant to be powered with a half-dozen of the same engines as the 277 was meant to use, was joined by the Ju 390, a Junkers six engined version of the developed version of their early-war Junkers Ju 90 airliner, the operational Junkers Ju 290 maritime patrol bomber, and also using six of the same BMW radials as the 277. Of these competing types, only three each of the Me 264 and Ju 390 aircraft were ever built, solely as flyable prototypes, and none of these aircraft saw any action against the Allies. The He 274, because of its own intended high-altitude role, was only a potential competitor with the He 277 for Heinkel's own company engineering and production staff, and the He 274's production had already been outsourced by the end of 1941 to the French Societe Anonyme des Usines Farman, or "SAUF" firm in Suresnes to partially allow Heinkel to work on other projects, like the He 277. By July of 1943, the only remaining competing design to the He 277's chance to get to the approval stage from the RLM, for prototype construction to begin, was Junkers' Ju 488 long-range bomber design, a four-engined, cobbled-together late war amalgam of a Ju 388's nose/cockpit unit, wing panels (for its own "outer" wings) and tail turret, a Ju 188E's fuselage midsection, the protruding bomb bay of a Ju 88A-15, and a twin tail from a Ju 288C, with only a new wing center section being designed especially for the Ju 488, to carry the two inner powerplants to complete the design, using two port and two starboard Ju 388 engine nacelle assemblies to house the engines and a four-strut main landing gear, all Ju 388 regular parts, with all components selected from different existing designs, to comprise the final design for the Ju 488 because their production tooling or design engineering had already been completed, theoretically saving valuable time in getting the Ju 488 design into production. By early April of 1944, with the war situation in Germany deteriorating, and with the growing realization that defensive fighters of an advanced nature were becoming a higher priority than ever, the RLM shut down any further development of the He 277 design, which had only progressed to the manufacture of some components and parts, which were scrapped shortly thereafter.

A 'global' IT failure has left thousands of British Airways passengers stranded - with passengers including parents with babies - left stuck on-board plans for hours. The severe delays - caused by 'systems problems' affecting the check-in process - are affecting airports across the UK, including Heathrow, Gatwick and Glasgow and in Italy. Some infuriated holidaymakers have become so frustrated sitting on runways they have just given up and walked off planes, writes the Mirror . British Airways has cancelled 81 flights to or from Heathrow while 10 Gatwick flights were cancelled. More than 200 other flights were delayed - with some more than five hours behind schedule. One passenger stuck on a flight from Newcastle for two hours said the pilot told those on board that it was a "global" failure. BA confirmed it was experiencing 'systems problems' which were affecting the check-in process - including its app - and delaying flight departures. The airline was using back-up and manual systems to try and cope with the failure. Passengers said they were told the system used to generate load sheets for flights had failed. The same system failed and caused travel disruption for thousands of BA customers last month. Zac Lennie was stuck on a plane with his children for more than an hour with no idea when they would leave Gatwick. He told Mirror Online: "We arrived at 4.30am for a 6.45am flight to massive queues - we were told there was a system failure. "It took an hour and 15 minutes before we got through security and we had to go straight to the gate. "They boarded us as normal but 15 minutes after we were due to take off we were told the systems had gone down and we were awaiting paperwork. "Thirty minutes later we were told the same. "Now we’ve just been told we have our paperwork and we will possibly get to take off if we can get a slot, but we're currently on standstill with the plane door open. "The staff are good, they're in a s*** position - there are a lot of families on my flight. Kids are getting very restless."

NASA plans to launch the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx (Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security Regolith Explorer) 8 Sep. The launch will take place from the spaceport at Cape Canaveral with the help of the carrier rocket Atlas V United Launch Alliance, the goal of specialists is to get into a two-hour launch window from 2:05 on the night of September 9 in Moscow. OSIRIS-REx is a space station, which will have to deliver to Earth soil samples from asteroid (101955) Bennu. This mission won the contest of the NASA “New frontiers” (New Frontiers). It is planned that the plant will reach the asteroid in 2018, and the ground will be brought to Earth in 2023. After the station reaches the asteroid, it will go into low orbit height of 4.8 km above the surface and about 500 days will maintain its mapping, after which the mission team will determine the most appropriate place for the collection of soil samples. Interestingly, landing on an asteroid in the project plans is not included — sampling of soil (about 60 grams) will be produced using a long paddle. It will then be placed in a capsule and delivered to the Earth. (101955) Bennu was opened in 2013 and received its name in honor of the Bennu bird which represented the soul of Osiris. Its provisional designation 1999 RQ36. This small near-earth asteroid is in the group of Apollo, it has a diameter of about 510 m. the Asteroid rotates around the Sun for 1.2 years, its orbit is elliptical. According to the calculations of a group of scientists under the leadership of Oscar Arratia of Valladolid University, the probability of it falling to the Ground is 1/4000, it can occur in the period between the years 2169 and 2199. In NASA the asteroid is considered the most dangerous object to our planet — his fall would have been equivalent to the explosion of 2,700 megatons TNT. However, the choice of the asteroid for the study of absolule also the fact that it belongs to the spectral class — this will allow scientists to investigate carbon substance that has been preserved from the time when the Solar system was formed.

Attack Squadron 165 (VA-165) was established at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, on 1 September 1960 as part of Carrier Air Group 16. Equipped with AD-6/7 (A-1H/J) propeller-driven attack aircraft, the Boomers made two deployments to the western Pacific on board the USS Oriskany (CVA-34). In 1964, VA-165 switched to Carrier Air Wing 15 when that wing's Skyraider squadron, VA-152, went to Vietnam to train South Vietnamese crews. The Boomers were deployed on board the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) in February 1965 when President Lyndon Johnson launched the Flaming Dart retaliatory strikes against North Vietnam. The Rolling Thunder strikes began the following month, with VA-165 flying interdiction and rescue combat air patrol sorties. The Boomers made one more Vietnam deployment in 1966 from the USS Intrepid (CVS-11) with CVW-10.

Composite materials play a crucial role in the aerospace industry, offering strength, durability, and lightweight properties that are essential for modern aircraft construction. However, accurately measuring and weighing these materials is of utmost importance to ensure the safety and efficiency of the final product. Laboratory balances have become an indispensable tool in aerospace materials analysis, allowing engineers and researchers to precisely determine the weight of composite materials during various stages of aircraft development. In this article, we will explore the significance of laboratory balances in weighing composite materials for aircraft, highlighting their role in ensuring quality control and addressing the unique challenges faced in this field. Understanding Composite Materials Composite materials, in the context of aerospace engineering, refer to a combination of two or more dissimilar materials that, when combined, exhibit enhanced properties compared to individual components. Typically, composites used in aircraft construction consist of a matrix material reinforced with fibers. The matrix material, often a polymer resin such as epoxy, provides the composite with shape and protects the fibers from external forces, while the fibers, commonly made from carbon or glass, impart stiffness and strength to the material. Weighing and accurately determining the ratio of matrix material to reinforcing fibers is critical to ensure the structural integrity and performance of the aircraft. Laboratory balances enable engineers to precisely measure the weight of each component, allowing them to maintain strict control over the composite's composition, which directly affects its mechanical properties. Importance of Laboratory Balances in Aerospace Materials Analysis The aerospace industry demands high-quality composite materials that meet strict specifications and tolerances. Laboratory balances provide an efficient and reliable means of weighing composite materials, helping engineers and researchers ensure these materials meet or surpass the required standards. By utilizing laboratory balances, aerospace experts can achieve: 1. Quality Control Accurate measurement and weighing are integral components of quality control processes. Laboratory balances allow engineers to ensure that the composite materials produced meet the desired specifications and possess the required mechanical properties. From initial material characterization to ongoing testing during production, laboratory balances allow for precise monitoring and adjustment of the composite's composition, ensuring consistency and reliability in final aircraft components. 2. Material Characterization Understanding the characteristics of composite materials is vital in optimizing their performance and identifying potential areas for improvement. Laboratory balances help determine the weight percentages of different components within the composite material, allowing engineers to evaluate the efficacy of various combinations and optimize the composite's composition. Through precise measurements, laboratory balances aid in the identification of the ideal mixture of matrix material and reinforcing fibers, resulting in stronger, lighter, and more reliable aircraft components. 3. Research and Development Continued innovation in aerospace materials relies heavily on research and development activities. Laboratory balances contribute significantly to these efforts by facilitating the measurement and evaluation of novel composite materials. Whether it's exploring new matrix materials or experimenting with different fiber reinforcements, laboratory balances ensure accurate measurements that act as a foundation for groundbreaking advancements in aircraft construction. By precisely weighing composite materials and studying their properties, researchers and engineers can enhance material performance, durability, and safety. 4. Structural Integrity The structural integrity of an aircraft depends on the quality and consistency of its composite materials. Precise measurements provided by laboratory balances help maintain the desired structural properties, enabling engineers to identify any inconsistencies or deviations in the composite's composition that could compromise the aircraft's safety or performance. By regularly weighing and analyzing composite materials during production, aerospace professionals can detect potential issues early on, leading to enhanced quality assurance and improved structural integrity of the final aircraft. 5. Performance Optimization Aircraft performance is directly influenced by the weight of its components. Laboratory balances aid in accurately weighing composite materials, enabling engineers to optimize performance by identifying areas where weight reduction is possible without compromising structural integrity. By precisely measuring the weight of different materials and their respective proportions, engineers can make informed decisions regarding the composition of composites, resulting in lighter aircraft and improved fuel efficiency. Laboratory balances provide the data required for such optimizations, helping to push the boundaries of aerospace engineering. Laboratory balances play a crucial role in modern aerospace materials analysis, specifically in weighing composite materials for aircraft construction. The ability to precisely measure the weight and composition of composites has significant implications for quality control, material characterization, research and development, structural integrity, and performance optimization. With laboratory balances, aerospace engineers and researchers can confidently produce composite materials that meet demanding specifications, resulting in safer, lighter, and more efficient aircraft. As the industry continues to evolve, laboratory balances will remain an essential tool for advancing aerospace materials and pushing the boundaries of aviation technology..

[SatNews] Kratos Defense and Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: KTOS) has announced that equipment provided by its RT Logic subsidiary supported critical communications between the Orion spacecraft and ground control systems during its recent Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) mission. Orion is NASA’s next generation spacecraft designed to take human spaceflight beyond Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) and into deep space. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor for the Orion spacecraft. Prior to flight, RT Logic’s TSIM (TDRS Simulator) and Channel Simulator products were used to simulate and test the compatibility of the Orion communications subsystem with the NASA Space Network. This was a key step in driving down risk of communication link problems during the mission. In addition, RT Logic’s Internet Protocol (IP) Recorders were used to support ground testing and simulation, enabling the replay of recorded telemetry from Orion when the vehicle was unavailable. During launch, orbital flight, re-entry and splashdown, the Orion spacecraft communicated via two of NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS), which are part of NASA’s Space Network. RT Logic radios, supplied through the NASA Space Communications and Network Services prime contractor Exelis Inc. (NYSE: XLS), located at White Sands Complex, New Mexico, communicated flawlessly with Orion via TDRS during the mission. While RT Logic radios support all NASA Space Network missions, there were some enhancements made to support specific Orion communication requirements for EFT-1. RT Logic, a Kratos company, is a leading provider of innovative products for ground stations, satellite test equipment and satellite operations, with solutions used in over 80 percent of America's space missions.

During a flight last week, the Virgin Galactic test spaceplane VSS Enterprise broke apart in flight, killing test pilot Mike Alsbury. The 39-year old left behind his wife of 12 years and two young children. The Enterprise was a Model 339 SpaceShipTwo (SS2) suborbital spaceplane. The SS2 is designed to carry six passengers (at $250,000 per ticket) at speeds of up to Mach 3.5 on a suborbital trajectory soaring 68 miles above Earth's surface. There, passengers enjoy a glimpse of the Earth from space and a few minutes of weightlessness. Hours after the crash, Adam Rogers at Wired published an article arguing that "When various corporate representatives eulogize those two pilots as pioneers who were helping to cross the Final Frontier, that should make you angry. That pilot died not for space but for a luxury service provider." In his piece, Rogers professes his hopes for the future of space exploration. He commends the pilots for their bravery, the engineers for their skills, and both for their dedication. Rogers doesn't think space is stupid. On the contrary, he loves it. And either because of or despite that, he said Virgin Galactic's program is merely "the world's most expensive roller coaster." Despite the fact that "various corporate representatives" will be eulogizing only one pilot instead of the two Rogers mentions — Peter Siebold, the other pilot, was injured but survived — Rogers touches on a real problem with space: Its magical draw. For some, space exploration is license to dream of utopia. It's like buying a lottery ticket, a way to daydream about a better world. Likewise, space exploration is viewed as heroic. Ever since the dawn of the space age and the creation of the heroic titans of the US space program — the original seven Mercury astronauts and all who followed — space has been the place for heroes possessing the Right Stuff. But this utopian and heroic view of space is incomplete. In reality, massive endeavors like space exploration are ruled by three buzzkill disciplines: engineering, accounting, and law. They are not utopian or heroic — nor are they merciful or compassionate. Satisfying them requires enormous amounts of work, compromise, and concession. And no space program can succeed without satisfying all three. SpaceShipTwo isn't about tourism — that is simply a revenue stream. For starters, it can test equipment in zero-g before sending it to the International Space Station. Accounting and law cannot exist outside of the human experience, while engineering can be described as the process through which humans attempt to harness physics. Because all three are human disciplines, a space program will be covered with the grubby fingerprints of the people who spend countless hours making it a reality. The professionals who work in the trenches day after day and decade after decade are the people who leave those grubby fingerprints. They know all that went into making space real, and they are glad — and maybe even a little amazed — that it worked at all. However, people with fanciful views of space become upset when their unblemished utopian and heroic ideal turns out to be covered in those fingerprints. Rogers stomachs the reality of space long enough to (grudgingly) admire the Apollo program. But apparently SpaceShipTwo is too cynical. The "various corporate representatives" are soulless faces of "a luxury service provider." This is not going to space with the Right Stuff. It's "the aerospace version of Beluga caviar." Never mind the fact that the various corporate representatives are in the business of making space a reality to the public because they love space just as much as Rogers. Virgin Galactic President Steve Isakowitz was once a NASA Deputy Administrator. Before George Whitesides became CEO of Virgin Galactic, he was Chief of Staff for current NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden, and before that he was executive director of the National Space Society, one of the world's largest space non-profits. They are intelligent people who love space so much that they made it their profession. They are not bilking money from thrill seekers at an amusement park. Virgin Galactic is a company that combines intelligent people, an interest in space, a pile of cash, and a willingness to take risks. And to make sure all of those intelligent people interested in space continue to have a pile of cash with which to finance their risks, Virgin Galactic created a business model. In other words, people like Isakowitz and Whitesides, propelled by their love of space, have been working hard to figure out how to satisfy engineering, accounting, and law. That is real. Rogers' notion of space, unsullied by at least two of those three disciplines, is not. SpaceShipTwo isn't about tourism — that is simply a revenue stream. SpaceShipTwo can haul anything from tourists to science experiments to cheese, and so it can do much more than be a simple passenger service. Short-duration suborbital microgravity flights have other applications, like testing equipment in zero-g before sending it to the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceShipTwo could also be a platform for preliminary scientific investigations to see what questions merit the higher costs of answering them on the ISS. In addition, the technology development and operational knowledge associated with SpaceShipTwo, like hybrid rocket engines and high-tempo spaceport operations, lay groundwork for future development. Virgin's satellite launch vehicle, LauncherOne, is slated to fly in 2016 and will leverage technology development currently underway. And beyond SpaceShipTwo there is SpaceShipThree. Details are scarce, but SpaceShipThree may be a suborbital transport (perhaps one day offering a two-hour flight from New York to Tokyo), itself a stepping stone that would lay groundwork for evolution into an orbital launch vehicle. And so SpaceShipTwo is akin to Alan Shepard's first suborbital flight in the Mercury program. That flight eventually led to the Apollo landing on the moon — though Rogers may not find this a compelling argument, since he describes Apollo as a Cold War "propaganda front." Rogers does admit to one "legitimate" reason for space exploration: "To get humanity off our native planet" before humanity goes extinct. Fine — but we don't know how that will actually happen, if it ever does. It could be a purely government-funded program, like NASA. It could be a private-public partnership, like the one that SpaceX has with NASA. Or it could derive from Virgin Galactic's approach. We have no way of knowing, especially this far in advance, which approach (or combination of approaches) will be deemed worthy in the eyes of the engineers, accountants, and lawyers. However, we do know that whichever project satisfies the three disciplines will inevitably be blemished by lots of grubby fingerprints. The problem with deciding that space is only valid when it meets this or that criteria for purity is that as a human effort, space exploration will never be pure enough to satisfy. And after every loss and tragedy, there's always someone who can't wait to announce how unhappy that lack of purity is. They love space and they love science — except when it's real. Denigrating the projects that actual professionals work on in order to make space a reality may be an important part of free speech and open debate. But expressing that contempt on the same day a wife became a widow and two children lost their father is more crass than helpful. And it certainly isn't a great way to support arguments about which attempts to make human hopes and dreams a reality are or aren't sufficiently pure of heart.

NASA has achieved a first for the class of tiny spacecraft known as CubeSats, which are opening new access to space. Over the past week, two CubeSats called MarCO-A and MarCO-B have been firing their propulsion systems to guide themselves toward Mars. This process, called a trajectory correction maneuver, allows a spacecraft to refine its path to Mars following launch. Both CubeSats successfully completed this maneuver; NASA's InSight spacecraft just completed the same process on May 22. The pair of CubeSats that make up the Mars Cube One (MarCO) mission both launched on May 5, along with the InSight lander, which is headed toward a Nov. 26 touchdown on the Red Planet. They were designed to trail InSight on the way to Mars, aiming to relay back data about InSight as it enters the planet's atmosphere and attempts to land. The MarCOs were never intended to collect any science data; instead, they are a test of miniaturized communication and navigation technology that can blaze a path for future CubeSats sent to other planets. Both MarCO-A and B successfully completed a set of communications tests in the past couple of weeks, said John Baker, program manager for planetary SmallSats at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. JPL built both MarCO CubeSats and leads the mission. "Our broadest goal was to demonstrate how low-cost CubeSat technology can be used in deep space for the first time," Baker said. "With both MarCOs on their way to Mars, we've already traveled farther than any CubeSat before them." While MarCO-A corrected its course to Mars relatively smoothly, MarCO-B faced some unexpected challenges. Its maneuver was smaller due to a leaky thruster valve that engineers have been monitoring for the past several weeks. The leak creates small trajectory changes on its own. Engineers have factored in these nudges so that MarCO-B can still perform a trajectory correction maneuver. It will take several more weeks of tracking to refine these nudges so that MarCO-B can follow InSight on its cruise through space. "We're cautiously optimistic that MarCO-B can follow MarCO-A," said Joel Krajewski of JPL, MarCO's project manager. "But we wanted to take more time to understand the underlying issues before attempting the next course-correction maneuver." Once the MarCO team has analyzed data, they'll know the size of follow-on maneuvers. Several more course corrections will be needed to reach the Red Planet. Should the CubeSats make it all the way to Mars, they will attempt to relay data to Earth about InSight's landing. InSight won't rely on either CubeSat for that data relay, however; that job will fall to NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

DALE COUNTY, Ala. (WDHN) — A Dale County man is accused of obstructing government operations, according to the Dale County Sheriff’s Office. At around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, the DCSO learned that someone was shining lasers and high-powered spotlights at military aircraft around Cairns Army Airfield. The lights were being shined into the cockpits while the aircraft were moving in a traffic pattern outside the airfield. A DCSO release states that a sheriff’s office aircraft looked through the area to find the person responsible. Upon its final approach, the aircraft was hit with a spotlight shining into the cockpit. The crew tracked the light to a home near the airfield, landing near it while the suspect, Jacob Moseley of Daleville, tried to run on foot. However, the tactical flight officer chased the 44-year-old into a wooded area, taking him into custody. The Federal Aviation Administration and FBI will now handle further prosecution.

BUSINESS AVIATION | INDUSTRY The aviation sector in India continues to stay away from innovations partly due to high entry barriers and strong as well as non-adaptive regulations |By Sudhir S. Rajeshirke| Vice President – Sales, Arrow Aircraft Sales and Charters Pvt. Ltd. We all remember the Monday early morning and Friday late evening crowded commercial flights. The propensity to execute businesses, build a vibrant economy and a better quality of life and to see new places drove 4.5 billion air travel trips globally in 2019. COVID completely changed the way people perceive travel. The fear of travelling in crowded flights and getting infected diminished global air travel by more than 90 per cent. However, an unexpected trend emerged. Post lockdowns, while airlines have seen single digit growth compared to 2019 levels, business aviation showed a remarkable recovery backed by the need of businesses and HNWIs to travel safely for undertaking their businesses in the safety of private aircraft and operators opening up new business models of selling seats on private jets. Per WingX, The recovery in business jet traffic in USA at this point in Autumn 2020 appears to be hitting a ceiling of around 85 per cent of comparable 2019 activity. India needs to take advantage of this situation and now focus on building a robust business aviation ecosystem and create another parallel vibrant industry in the aviation sector. It is well documented and proven that it makes great economic sense for a number of companies and State Governments to use business aircraft. Business aviation also includes usage of helicopters for oil and gas industries and also allows State Governments officials to reach remote locations where otherwise would take an enormous amount of time. A well operated business aircraft saves time, provides travel convenience, increases productivity, enhances security of high profile individuals and helps maintain privacy. But the purpose of this article is not to extol the benefits of business aviation. The purpose is three fold. First, it is to provide a high level perspective on this industry which has generated millions of jobs and added billions of dollars to the economy of several western countries, and which has the potential to create similar impact on the Indian economy and thus create a holistic civil aviation eco-system along with the airlines. This is required, given our Government’s focus on promoting airlines and giving a second grade treatment to business aviation. The second purpose is to provide four key reasons on impact that business aviation has on our economy and the third is to provide actionable recommendations which are within the purview of the Government. India needs to take advantage of the existing situation and focus on building a robust business aviation ecosystem and create a parallel vibrant industry Business aviation has always been projected as having an aura of luxury and exclusivity. Promotions by air charter companies may have contributed to that image to a large extent. In a developing country such as India, an image of a business executive or a high net worth individual using a business aircraft to travel for business may seem ostentatious and smacks on the plight of the airline travelers who have to brave long airport queues to get to their cramped airline seats. Hence a Government, which works hard to make air travel accessible to large sections of the travelers by providing incentives to reduce cost of air travel (via UDAN initiatives) would obviously shy away from promoting an industry which “appears” to cater to corporate excess. However, this prejudicial view against business aviation in India is detrimental to the overall aviation ecosystem, which now only seems to cater to the airline industry. Here are four reasons which justify why promoting business aviation and providing the right stimulus to this industry will create a healthier aviation ecosystem and spur the next level of aviation sector growth in India. I have also added the enabling factors that can drive business aviation growth. 1. BUSINESS AVIATION CAN CREATE A HUGE IMPACT ON JOBS AND ECONOMY Just as airlines do, business aviation companies employ highly skilled engineers, mechanics, flight despatchers, managers and pilots and are supported by several organisations which provide services such as aircraft maintenance, air charter brokerage, ground handling, food and beverage and technology. Increase in the number of business aircraft thus creates high quality career opportunities for individuals who wish to contribute to the aviation sector and also adds to country’s GDP. It also increases the possibilities for new businesses such as fixed based operators (FBO) which number less than five in India. Consider this, per NBAA (in 2015), there were an estimated 3,000 FBOs in US, generating $15 billion in annual revenue. This was close to eight per cent of total US airline revenue in the same year and almost of the size of India’s airline market. While it would be not be a fair to compare a matured and sizeable US airline industry ($200 billion plus revenue in 2017) to India’s ($12 billion revenue in FY 2016-17), even a small possibility of establishing an FBO industry which is one per cent of India’s airline industry would mean a business revenue potential of approx. $100 million or 700 plus crore. This is a sizeable market. Pilot and engineering training for business aircraft is another area which can contribute to high quality jobs and revenue for training companies. Hence developing business aviation further will grow the aviation sector significantly. 2. THE RIGHT REGULATORY AND OPERATIONAL FRAMEWORKS FOR PRIVATE AVIATION WILL HELP PREPARE THE LAUNCH OF NEW AERIAL TRANSPORTATION MODELS Business aviation is mostly required on ‘on-demand’ basis and hence it is unscheduled in nature. Unscheduled operations need strong operational support such as infrastructure (airport parking slots, rooftop helipads etc.), skilled professionals (engineers, pilots, operations specialists) and regulatory support, which can provide quick approvals for on demand transportation. Such strong operational and regulatory platforms will create the base for future aerial transportation systems, which could be ‘ondemand’ in nature. For example, there has been a phenomenal progress in the development of drone technologies, flying cars and other modes of air transportation for passengers and goods. There is a possibility that in the next five to six years we could see deployment of pilot programmes for intra city aerial travel by air taxis/rickshaws or delivery of goods to our doorsteps by drones (whether we like that scenario or not). Such transportation systems will require infrastructure (designated locations to take off and land), skilled professionals (drone pilots, air taxi pilots, engineers, operations specialists etc.), navigational support and most importantly, balanced regulations. Their operations will compete with the same limited and regulated airspace as with any other air transportation system. Hence unless we set up seamless operational and regulatory capabilities for business aviation, setting up the same for future modes of unscheduled aerial transportations would be difficult. 3. A CHANGE IN PERCEPTION ON USAGE OF CORPORATE OR CHARTER AIRCRAFT WILL ENHANCE CORPORATE PRODUCTIVITY Government considers business aviation as an elitist segment. Hence any attempt to ease the industry’s pain points is seen to pander to the corporate excess. This view has also percolated deeply in the minds of corporate shareholders. We have seen instances where CEOs of public companies have put-off their decision to purchase a business aircraft or use chartered flights when it was direly needed. This was done from the perspective that the shareholders might think of an aircraft purchase or use of chartered flights as an unjustified expense. For example, in a recent instance shareholders of a well-known company questioned the minor use of the chartered flights of its CEO, who travelled for more than 500 hours in a year in commercial airlines. A business aircraft is an important tool that gives busy executives the ability to remain “close to the customer” in a challenging business environment and reduces waste by saving thousands of hours of non-productive travel time. The capabilities that these assets offer are as beneficial to the execution of business plans as the cellular phone, blackberry or laptop computer. Further, business aircraft have become more efficient in design and performance. A team of three to four executives can travel anywhere within India, especially to tier 2 and 3 cities and return home the same day. The average cost per seat on a light jet is only slightly higher than a business class fare of a commercial airline. In addition, executives can avoid overnight stay at hotels which not only saves costs, but they are also able to return home to their families rather than spend a night at a hotel. Hence the Government as well as company shareholders need to change their perspectives and understand that as executive time is the most valuable resource, a corporate aircraft should be treated as a productive business tool and executive travel should be treated as an investment. If usage of private aircraft by senior political leaders can be seen as a way to effectively reach out to their constituencies and carry out efficient and productive travel, then the same perspective needs to be accorded to business leaders as well. This can only increase productivity of senior executives whose time and energy are of utmost importance for business growth. 4. INCREASE IN ENTREPRENEURIAL OPPORTUNITIES India has developed a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem which covers many sectors such as retail, travel, logistics and supply chain etc. However, aviation sector continues to stay away from innovations partly due to high entry barriers and strong and non-adaptive regulations. Particularly the business aviation has been plagued with mindset fatigue i.e. it continues to follow the traditional marketing business practices and operating processes in the same way as it has been done for the past two decades. A few brokers tried to use technology to drive aggregation but have not yet been successful as there was not much of service innovation. For decades, business aviation companies in the US and Europe have been enhancing business models by introducing fractional jet ownership For decades, business aviation companies in the US and Europe have been enhancing business models by introducing fractional jet ownership, aggressive empty leg marketing, shared private flights, airline partnerships by leveraging technology, investments and tax regulations and thus bringing down the cost of chartered and private flights. Charter brokers such as Victor and JetSmarter (now FlyXO) have leveraged technology and operating models to bring faster response times and new seamless experiences to private aviation customers. Further, due to unscheduled nature of operations, entrepreneurs can find several opportunities across the supply chain to bring value to business aviation and increase its reach to a wider section of air travelers in India. As a simple example, business aircraft owners and operators are required to establish a complete organisation with several specialised staff if they have to operate even one aircraft. This not only increases cost of operations and but also adds to the hassles of operating a heavily regulated aviation company. This discourages a lot of potential new owners from bringing airplanes in India. If such owners / operators are allowed to outsource their aircraft operations to a professional aircraft management company, which has the skills and capabilities of managing several aircraft and operates at scale, then it would decrease the cost of aircraft operations for owners and operators, avoid managing regulatory hassles and improve ease of efficiency of business aircraft. This would encourage import of more aircraft and thus increase the overall aviation business. Thus if the regulations around aircraft management become more efficient, business aviation could become a great value proposition. WHAT WE NEED Business aviation needs a few enabling factors from the Government which will significantly help increase its potential in India. They are as follows: As our Prime Minister mentions, we have to change COVID-19 adversity into opportunity. It is the right time for the Government to make changes. The Ministry and the supporting aviation agencies have the right team, skills and wherewithal to carry out large changes and the Government has the right attitude to implement changes. In a growing civil aviation sector, a significant change in the business aviation industry will provide a much needed fillip and motivation, required for the growth of this industry.

You have just purchased a drone and are eager to get the battery charged and give it a test flight. Until you do anything, be sure you are familiar with the FAA’s policies and guidelines for operating drones in the US. You must also be aware of the privileges and liberties of those around you. You must first decide how you intend to use your drone so that you can establish which regulations will apply to it. When you’re just flying for the pleasure of it and to show off to your buddies, you can get everything set up, licensed, and certified in about an hour. Simple enrollment and passing a proficiency exam are all that is required. Now, if you want, you can read our mini drones with camera reviews. 1. Drone registration: Your drone must be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration if it is 8.8 ounces (0.33 kg) or 250 grams or greater. For three years, you may own and fly as many drones as you like with your Abraham Lincoln. All you have to do now is affix your drone’s new identifying number on the outside of it. Each quadcopter on the market has to be registered. Exemptions include the DJI Mavic Mini and Mini 2, both of which weigh 249g when fully charged. To operate a lightweight drone commercially, you must comply with all applicable air traffic control regulations and get a Part 107 certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration. 2. Do Your Research and Take a Test: Registering your aircraft is just the beginning; you will also have to abide by the law of the skies. Many of them are just common sense, which you should put to good use when flying. Drones are prohibited in National Parks as well as under FAA guidelines. It is a pity because stunning drone footage of places like Yellowstone and Yosemite is one of the best reasons to purchase a drone. Some locations, on the other hand, should be free of technology intrusions. Take a brief exam once you acquaint yourself with the rules to see whether you understand them. Also Read: What Are The Strategic Benefits Of Folded Leaflet? 3. Remote identification: The FAA has created Remote ID standards for drones, however, these have not been implemented yet. The remote ID is a virtual registration number for the skies that transmits your drone’s location and data. The FAA sees it as an essential step to allow more sophisticated drone activities in the future. If drone shipments get to be a reality, the airspace will be much busier. 4. Conflict Resolution: Pilots of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) must consider factors other than the legislation. Conflict with other people is always a possibility, so keep this in mind when planning your flight path. Admittedly, others believe it is perfectly appropriate to use a pistol to shoot a drone out of the sky. So, what should you do if someone objects to you flying a drone near them? The very first thing you should do if someone damages your quadcopter or uses it as a target practice device notifies the authorities. However, defusing the issue before it gets out of hand is the best option. Be kind, to paraphrase Patrick Swayze. Quadcopters are a lot of fun to fly and allow you to take photos and videos that are impossible to obtain from the ground. A fun and lawful experience by abiding by FAA regulations and defusing tension with others. In addition to helping you avoid interacting with other people, picking the appropriate time of day to travel can enhance the quality of your video recording. Landscapes are in golden light during the “magic hour” after daybreak, and they appear far more beautiful than when viewed in the harsh noon sun. It necessitates getting up early and traveling to a spot before sunrise, but the rewards are worth it. Read more: PMKs5

A former Republic Airlines hangar at Pittsburgh International Airport will soon become part of an innovation hub for the U.S. Air Force. Titan Robotics will convert the hangar into an Advanced Technology and Training Center, or ATTC, the Air Force’s third such development and testing facility in the country. The Allegheny County Airport Authority board approved the contract on Friday. Titan, which develops robotic solutions via artificial intelligence, is a Carnegie Mellon University spinoff located in Pittsburgh’s South Side. The company got its start through CMU’s National Robotics Engineering Center. While at CMU, the group received Air Force funding to develop a high-powered laser system to remove paint from the surface of an aircraft, a process that takes place during heavy maintenance checks, which occur once every few years. The system was eventually vetted by the Air Force and approved for use after extensive testing at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, with Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia contracting with Titan in 2018. Traditional methods of removing airplane paint often include using toxic chemicals and blast media. The robotic laser technology is quicker, reduces the amount of hazardous waste produced and eliminates workers’ exposure to dangerous environments, Titan says. The technology also can be used for related applications on military equipment and infrastructure that experience corrosion. The Department of Defense spent $20.6 billion last year in corrosion-related costs, according to a 2018 Logistics Management Institute report. The company’s knowledge and experience led the Air Force to designate Titan as an ATTC specializing in robotics and artificial intelligence, according to president and CEO Stuart Lawrence III. Titan, which develops robotic solutions via artificial intelligence, is located in Pittsburgh’s South Side (Photo courtesy of Titan Robotics). “We’ve been doing this for a lot longer than anybody else, and doing it successfully,” he said. “We bring over 20 years of prior experience to the table and have such a deep bench in robotics.” The Air Force has been a supportive partner, Lawrence said. “It’s a great relationship. Ever since we were at CMU developing the technology, we treated the U.S. Air Force like our main investor. The things that we were interested in developing, they were interested in having developed,” he said. Lawrence added that the Air Force has encouraged his team to grow into the commercial market, with aspirations of providing painting and de-painting services for airlines, along with the defense department. The project allows Titan “to reach out to the robotic and AI ecosystem here in Pittsburgh,” Lawrence said, “and to leverage that technology for the U.S. Air Force’s mission and beyond.” Likewise, the technology and training center provides the Air Force with access to state-of-the-art technology and training in a collaborative environment, said Debora Naguy, chief of product support in the Engineering Division of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. “Pittsburgh is at the hub of automation and artificial intelligence and opens the door to numerous collaboration opportunities for the Air Force with universities and industry, bringing invaluable perspectives on these disruptive technologies,” said Naguy. The two other Air Force ATTC locations are at Warner Robins and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. The company held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday at the Titan Robotics headquarters. It expects to have the hangar operational by November.

A world of comfort awaits passengers flying on one of Air Asia's "revolutionary" additions to its fleet: the quiet, spacious, fuel-efficient Airbus A330neo. Air Asia says it is set to revolutionise long-haul, value air travel with the Airbus A330neo. It unveiled the aircraft and its plans at the Paris International Air Show on Monday. And the key to its big-flight future is the Airbus A330neo. It will be based at Bangkok’s Don Mueang International Airport in Thailand, placed to expand services to Australia, Japan and South Korea. AirAsia X group chief executive Nadda Buranasiri said at the unveiling in France that 66 of the new A330neos are on direct order, with two on lease. Mr Buranasiri said: “This is a significant milestone for the aviation industry - and importantly, for our guests - which will revolutionise the long-haul, value air travel market. AirAsia is thrilled to lead the way once again, as the first airline in Asia Pacific to operate the technologically advanced, new generation A330neo aircraft. “The A330neo is the future of our long-haul operations delivering an enhanced guest experience including the latest design features and new modifications to make medium - long haul value air travel more comfortable than ever. “Guests will be able to see and feel the difference with more personal space, larger cabin bag storage space, ambient mood lighting throughout, power sockets in every seat and the quietest cabin in its class.” Airbus chief commercial officer, Christian Scherer, tells us the A330neo is now the “lowest seat mile cost” mid-size wide body aircraft flying. “The A330neo will bring a step change in fuel efficiency, and its increased range will open new opportunities for AirAsia X Thailand’s long-haul network expansion.” Its engine, the Trent 7000, uses 14 per cent less fuel per seat on the A330neo, compared to its predecessor the Trent 700.

The final farewell; Georges Lemaître, the fifth and last European Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) performed a controlled re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere and burned up at around 19:00 CET on 15 February. Its task had been to transport supplies and experiments to the International Space Station (ISS) and to raise and adjust the International Space Station ISS orbit. The era of ATV space transporters has now drawn to a close with its retirement from service – but the expertise gained during their development and operation will live on as part of the European service module fitted to the United States Orion space capsule. Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko could lose up to 20 metres of surface material from its previously unilluminated south side when it heats up, starting in May 2015. The increasing heat as the comet approaches the Sun will trigger this 'diet', during which gases and solid materials will be ejected into space. Without water, there can be no life as we know it. This principle applies both to Earth and to other celestial bodies. Water that has been lying hidden under a thick sheet of ice for millions of years can tell us something about the origin and development of life. But if one wants to recover a sample of this water, care has to be taken that no microorganisms from the surface are introduced and that the sample and underwater habitat are not contaminated. The Lander Control Center (LCC) at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is quiet. While the Philae lander is hibernating on the surface of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the control room team are able to take a break. Philae' s battery finally ran out at 01:36 CET on 15 November 2014, following a triple landing and more than 56 hours of scientific work. Planetary scientists have never seen dwarf planet Ceres from this close up. The German-developed Framing Camera on board NASA's Dawn spacecraft acquired this image on 25 January 2015 from a distance of just 237,000 kilometres. Planetary scientists at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) may find a thick ice crust with an ocean underneath when the NASA Dawn spacecraft arrives at Ceres in March 2015. Even now, from a distance of 383,000 kilometres, the first surface features are visible. 2014 was an extraordinarily eventful and exciting year at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). The landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and the mission by German ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst were undisputed highlights. But the research conducted in other areas was extremely diverse, and sought to find answers to questions in the fields of aeronautics, aerospace, energy, transport and security. Looking almost brand-new, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) set off from Hamburg, destined for its home base at the Armstrong Flight Research Center in Palmdale, California, at 13:16 CET on 14 December 2014 after its five and a half month visit. With a diameter of nearly 1000 kilometres, it was the largest known asteroid – and yet Ceres, which was 'promoted' from asteroid to dwarf planet in 2006, is just nine pixels wide in the image acquired by the Dawn spacecraft on 1 December 2014. Philae landed on a comet just three weeks ago; now, another German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) lander mission has been launched – the Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT) is already on its way to Asteroid 1999 JU3.

OMEGA celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing on July 20, 1969 with two events this past week in Orlando and Los Angeles with famed astronaut and brand ambassador; Dr. Buzz Aldrin. The celebration began on Tuesday, July 15th when Dr. Aldrin joined OMEGA for a two-part event including a media reception at the OMEGA Boutique in Orlando located at the Mall at Millenia. It followed by a private dinner at the Kennedy Space Center, the same location where the Apollo 11 was launched in 1969. The private dinner reception displayed a history of Speedmaster watches where guests had their pictures taken with Dr. Aldrin. The also marked the launch of OMEGA’s commemorative timepiece, the Speedmaster Apollo 11. The wristwatch commemorates the first lunar landing and celebrates its link to the iconic chronograph that was part of the adventure. Recalling the colors of the moon and the Apollo 11 lunar and command modules, this limited edition timepiece features a 42 mm completely brushed grey grade 2 titanium case with a touch of gold. The black PVD dial, with its 30-minute and 12-hour recorders and small seconds sub-dial, has been produced using a special laser, which creates the design elements on the watch’s face by removing the material surrounding the name, sub-dial numerals and hour markers. This timepiece has been produced in an edition limited to 1,969 pieces; a number that reflects the significant year that the first humans walked on the Moon.

Air Task Force-Romania began its return from Constanta, Romania, to 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec, today upon completion of Exercise Resilient Resolve. Exercise Resilient Resolve built on Canada’s positive relationship with Romania, an important NATO Ally, strengthening mutual confidence in using common NATO procedures. “The members of Air Task Force-Romania demonstrated the dedication and professionalism that makes the Royal Canadian Air Force an exemplary partner to our allies,” said Brigadier-General Blaise Frawley, acting commander of 1 Canadian Air Division. “I’m proud of their contribution to furthering the relationships between Canada and Romania. These airmen and airwomen have represented the Canadian Armed Forces and Canada with honour.” Approximately 100 Royal Canadian Air Force personnel, mainly from 3 Wing Bagotville, Quebec, and four CF-188 Hornet fighter aircraft that had previously been deployed on Operation Impact, were deployed to Constanta, Romania, to conduct a month-long bilateral training exercise with the Romanian Air Force known as Exercise Resilient Resolve. During the exercise, Air Task Force-Romania flew 86 missions for a total of more than 104 flying hours, including 18 sorties directly involving Canadian CF-188 Hornets and Romanian Air Force 861st Fighter Squadron MiG-21 Lancers, allowing for valuable air-to-air combat training missions. “Exercise Resilient Resolve provided the opportunity to share our expertise and deepen the relationship with the Romanian Air Force while simultaneously providing excellent learning opportunities for our RCAF personnel and teams,” said Lieutenant-Colonel David Turenne, the commander of Air Task Force-Romania. “Overall, it was a resounding success and a great experience for everyone who participated.” ATF-Romania ground and support personnel conducted bilateral training with Romanian Air Force firefighters, air weapons controllers and network operators. Such training increased Canadian personnel’s understanding of our allies’ procedures and equipment, increasing our interoperability for possible future multinational operations. The Air Task Force also conducted close air support training with the United States Marine Corps Joint Tactical Air Controllers stationed at Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base, enhancing our relationship with one of our closest military ally. During the exercise, the Chief of the Romanian Air Force Staff, Major-General Laurian Anastasof, presented three members of Air Task Force-Romania and the commander of 3 Wing with the Romanian Air Force Emblem of Honour.

The world's biggest and most powerful space telescope has reached its observation destination. But there is still a way to go before the telescope can start unraveling mysteries of the universe. The James Webb Space Telescope on Monday reached the spot 1 million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth from where it will begin peering back to the time when the first stars and galaxies were forming 13.7 billion years ago. The trip to the designated orbit point — more than four times further away than the moon — has taken a month. It will also scan the atmospheres of other worlds for possible signs of life. Before going into operation, however, the 18 hexagonal segments of the telescope's gold-coated 21-foot (6.5-meter) diameter primary mirror must be precisely aligned with one another. This will take three months to complete. "Webb, welcome home!" said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson in a statement. "We're one step closer to uncovering the mysteries of the universe. And I can't wait to see Webb's first new views of the universe this summer!'' he added. NASA joined with the European and Canadian space agencies on the project to send the telescope into space, where it will be able to see farther and more clearly than when Earth's distorting atmosphere gets in the way. The James Webb Space Telescope is one of the most expensive scientific platforms ever built, comparable to the Large Hadron Collider at CERN or the Hubble Space Telescope.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Commercial Air Traffic Management - Market and Technology Forecast to 2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The aviation infrastructure that facilitates air transport services for passengers and commodities includes air traffic management (ATM) and airports. ATM provides the connecting infrastructure that enables airplanes to travel safely between airports by providing air traffic control (ATC) and related services. ATM offers facilities that are required for safe and reliable air transportation by controlling the separation of aircraft and air traffic flows. The aviation industry is a dynamic structure of multiple interconnected components. ATMs and airports play a critical role in the competitiveness of airline services as well as their availability for passengers and freight. The ability of airplanes to operate safely and efficiently in the airspace is dictated by the efficiency of the air navigation system and ATM facilities, as well as the equipment available in aircraft and pilot training. This has an impact on flight times and fuel burn. ATM has a direct effect on air transportation costs via charges, as well as an implicit effect on service efficiencies, such as delays and inadequate routings that can be imposed on the aviation industry. Air traffic management (ATM) technology is complex and evolving at a rapid pace. Moreover, technological developments, an increase in the number of air passengers, a rise in the number of airports, and a need for safer and secure air transport in developing countries are further boosting the growth of the market. Factors such as the high cost of technology, and airborne equipment standards, however, hinder the growth of the market to some extent.

An $86.2 million contract award last month reveals that the US Air Force will seek to prove if airships can replace fixed-wing aircraft on some surveillance missions over Afghanistan. About nine months after the US Army launched its long-endurance multi-intelligence vehicle (LEMV) programme, the air force awarded defence technology start-up MAV6 a contract, Blue Devil Block 2. MAV6 chief executive David Deptula confirms that an airship will be deployed to Afghanistan in January to demonstrate a lighter-than-air vehicle with a multi-intelligence payload. That timing coincides with the army’s plans to demonstrate the LEMV airship under a $517 million contract awarded to Northrop Grumman/Hybrid Air Vehicles last June. Deptula, who retired three months ago as the air force’s deputy chief of staff for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, says the Blue Devil concept pre-dates the launch of the army programme. He does not consider Blue Devil and LEMV as competitive programmes, but as complementary systems. Unlike the heavy-lift capability provided by LEMV’s all-new hybrid airship, Blue Devil relies on conventional airship vehicle designs. The TCOM-built airship is nearly 113m (370ft) long, and seven times the size of the Goodyear Blimp at 1.4 million cubic feet and has a payload compartment measuring 7m long by 3m wide by 2.1m high. The Air Force hopes that the extra size should give it enough fuel and helium to stay aloft for as much as a week at a time at nearly four miles up. (Most blimps float at 3,000 feet or less). The air force will integrate both the Sierra Nevada Gorgon Stare and BAE Systems/Lockheed Martin autonomous real-time ground ubiquitous surveillance imaging system as wide-area airborne surveillance sensors (WAAS). A pallet with a ground moving target indicator payload will also be integrated, along with signals intelligence sensors. Information from the sensors will be processed by the onboard supercomputer which can then automatically slew the sensors in the right direction. The footage can easily overwhelm the people who have to watch it (not to mention the military’s often-fragile battlefield networks). Already, 19 analysts watch a single Predator feed. Gen. James Cartwright, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a conference in November that he’d need 2,000 analysts to process the footage collected by a single drone fitted with WAAS sensors. And that’s before the upgrade to the next-generation WAAS, which uses 96 cameras and generates every hour 274 terabytes of information; it’d take 1,870 of the hard drives I’m using right now to store that much data. That’s where the supercomputer comes in. With the equivalent of 2,000 single-core servers, it can process up to 300 terabytes per hour. So instead of just sending all the footage to the infantrymen, like most of today’s sensors, the airship’s processors will crunch the information, adding meta tags like location and time. Ground troops will query a server on the airship, which will only broadcast the stuff they’re interested in. By processing part of the data on-board, and only sending what is of interest, bandwidth requirements are reduced. The goal is to get that coordinated information down to ground troops in less than 15 seconds. [For an update on this story on March 1, 2012, see ‘Blue Devil 2 Still Afloat‘ – Ed.]

On December 16, 1999, at 1501 mountain standard time, a Beech N-35, N9468Y, made a forced landing approximately 2 miles short of runway 28 at Centennial Airport, Englewood, Colorado, following a complete loss of power. The airline transport pilot and his passenger were not injured; however, the aircraft sustained substantial damage. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for this personal flight conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91 and a VFR flight plan was filed. The flight originated from North Platte, Nebraska, at 1300. Use your browsers 'back' function to return to synopsisReturn to Query Page According to the attached pilot narrative, he was in communication with Centennial tower and reported a 3-mile final as instructed. The flight was cleared to land on runway 28. At 2 miles from the runway at about 800 feet above ground level, the pilot said he "switched the fuel selector to the right tank (fullest), rechecked the landing gear down, advanced the mixture slightly toward rich (go-around preparation), and checked the prop to full rpm. Flaps were selected visually to one quarter." The pilot said the engine began to lose power and he advanced the throttle. The power loss continued and he said he retarded the mixture towards lean without effect. He stated he tried different combinations of mixture, throttle, and boost pump but did not regain power. In the ensuing forced landing, the aircraft impacted in a ravine and came to rest 300 feet from the initial impact point on the side of a hill. During the forced landing, the propeller was damaged, the nose landing gear collapsed and the lower forward fuselage was displaced upward into the cabin and engine compartment. In addition, both wings suffered spar and skin damage. On February 11, 2000, after installing a test propeller and cutting off the tips of the exhaust stacks which had been crushed during the forced landing, the engine was run mounted on the airframe and using the normal fuel feed system. The engine performed in a normal fashion throughout the designed power range. During the investigation, interviews were conducted with persons from Rocky Mountain Straight Flight, the company that retrieved the aircraft, and with the insurance adjuster who processed the accident claim. Both provided information that the pilot stated to them that he had inadvertently shut off the fuel when he switched fuel tanks while executing the items on the checklist in preparation for landing.

United Launch Alliance rocket blasts off. An unmanned Atlas 5 rocket blasted off from Florida on Wednesday to put a next-generation communications satellite into orbit for the U.S. military. The 20-story tall rocket, manufactured and launched by United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Corp. and Boeing Co., lifted off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 6:18 a.m. EDT. Perched on top of the rocket was the fourth satellite in the U.S. Navy’s $7.3 billion Mobile User Objective System, or MUOS, network, which is intended to provide 3G-cellular technology to vehicles, ships, submarines, aircraft and troops on the move. “MUOS works like a smartphone network in space, vastly improving secure satellite communications for mobile users,” said Paul Benishek, a deputy director with the Navy’s Communications Satellite Program Office, said during a launch webcast. The satellites are designed to provide secure voice conversations, networked conference calls and data relay services, including video, worldwide. They work like cell phone towers, with four ground stations handling switching and routing. The MUOS network will supplement and eventually replace the Navy’s Ultra High Frequency Follow-On satellite system to provide 16 times more capacity than the current network, the Navy said. “MUOS is a game-changer in communications for every branch of our military,” said Iris Bombelyn, vice president of Narrowband Communications at Lockheed Martin, which built the satellites. Topping the scales at nearly 15,000 pounds (6,804 kg), the MUOS satellite needed the most powerful version of the Atlas rocket, which was outfitted with five strap-on solid rocket motors built by GenCorp Inc’s Aerojet Rocketdyne. The MUOS satellite launched on Wednesday completes the operational system. A fifth spacecraft is slated for launch in July 2016 to serve as an on-orbit spare, the Navy said.

A China Southern Airlines Boeing 787-800, registration B-2733 performing flight CZ-336 from Auckland (New Zealand) to Guangzhou (China) with 212 people on board, departed Auckland’s runway 23L when the left hand engine (GEnx) failed prompting the crew to stop the climb at 4000 feet and shut the engine down. The aircraft returned to Auckland for a safe landing on runway 23L about 35 minutes after departure. Glad to hear everything went well and the aircraft landed safely ! Hope that everyone will feel great Oh, hopefully no injuries. happy anniversary @Lucasmacines5 ;) 787-8😁, is there anything that says what caused the failure? Another engine failure… Earlier this month/week (Im not sure when) an ANA 787-9 had an engine failure shortly after takeoff It is fairly normal, aircraft engines are volatile machinery, they don’t need a lot of provocation to either fail or blow up. still waiting for that spot for airbus lovers.

Emirates is the biggest customer for Boeing’s new large aircraft, the 777X. However, ongoing delays have left the airline’s president, Sir Tim Clark, frustrated with the lack of certainty over when the aircraft will start to arrive. In an exclusive interview with Simple Flying, Clark suggested that even Boeing’s latest projection could be false, indicating that a 2025 arrival would not be completely unexpected. President of Emirates, Sir Tim Clark, has often been outspoken about the problems with the 777X program. In December last year, he indicated that he didn’t expect to receive the first aircraft until 2023. He was on the money with that, as Boeing confirmed the new timeline a month later. Now, in an exclusive interview with Simple Flying, Clark has indicated that even this timeline could slip, noting that it could be as long as 2025 before the 777X arrives in Dubai. He said, “We should have had the first one in June of last year. And so far, we don’t have any visibility as to when the first one will arrive. It’s either the back end of 2023, 2024 or possibly even 2025.” The latest from Boeing is that the plane will begin delivering in 2023, although it admits it will be late that year. Indeed, the only customer expected to actually receive a 777-9 in 2023 is German launch customer Lufthansa. Boeing hasn’t said as much, but with things as they stand, the rest of the waiting airlines will be looking at 2024 at the earliest to start getting the deliveries. Boeing is pressing ahead with the certification process using the four prototype planes, but there’s still a long road ahead. With COVID still slowing down many processes around the world, the potential for a further delay is high. Sir Tim is clearly taking Boeing’s latest timeline for entry into service with a pinch or two of salt. For a large airline like Emirates, plans aren’t just laid out months in advance, but rather many years ahead. Clark explained that, aside of the pandemic, the airline is now focused on planning its routes and growth through to the end of the decade. With no firm idea of when the 777X will arrive, it’s increasingly difficult to make firm plans, something Clark expressed his frustration with, “[The delay], of course, is affecting all our plans … we’re thinking now about the back end of this year through to the end of the decade, and where our network is going to be what our fleet is going to look like, what type of aircraft, how many, etc. Now, not being able to factor in the 777-9, or -8 at this stage is a little bit of a problem for us.” Sir Tim further described how the delay to the 777X is affecting fleet planning at the airline. As the world’s largest operator of the A380, some of those planes are approaching retirement age. Plans were in place to begin retirements as the 777X arrived, but those have had to be shifted in light of the continued delays to the program. Boeing also got in touch with Simple Flying with an update on the program. Altogether, the manufacturer remains focused on the project. “We’re working closely with global regulators on all aspects of 777X development, including our rigorous test program. Our team remains focused on executing this comprehensive series of tests and conditions to demonstrate the safety and reliability of the airplane’s design. It is diligent, deliberate work and we are pleased with the progress to date. We also are providing regular updates to our launch customers.” As it stands, Emirates is set to receive 115 of the type. Its original order had been for 150 777X aircraft, but some were later swapped out for the smaller 787 Dreamliner. Recent reporting has suggested that as many as 30 to 45 more of the 777X order could also be downgraded to Dreamliners, which would be a huge blow to Boeing and its large aircraft program.

Middle East flight operations support provider Nexus has teamed with Argus International, an aviation safety management company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, to bring Argus’s services to the Middle East and North Africa. Nexus, which is a subsidiary of the MAZ Aviation Group, announced two new flight operations centers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain in December. In its newly released annual safety management system (SMS) audit results report, Argus says its Prism subsidiary has generally found a lack of SMS training at several business aviation flight departments. This latest report is based on 65 audits Argus performed last year, from which the Prism team reviews and compiles the results. Argus International (Booth No. 3106), the Cincinnati-based safety auditing company, announced at Heli-Expo 2011 that two of its subsidiaries recently signed agreements. Argus International has revamped its Charter Evaluation and Qualification (Cheq) system with a new user interface to ease searching, and unlimited TripCheqs. The new system allows users to search, manage and perform due diligence all in one program. Users can now search operators by Argus ratings, aircraft operator, aircraft model and geographic location. Argus has partnered with JetVizor to allow users of the latter company’s free online charter marketplace and global directory to view Argus ratings for charter operators when searching charter data. There are now more than 400 Argus-rated charter providers, including 314 Gold, 25 Gold Plus and 85 Platinum-rated operators. Argus International (Booth No. 4145) has revamped its Charter Evaluation and Qualification (Cheq) system with a new user interface to ease searching and unlimited TripCheqs. Aviation data and services firm Argus launched a new online registry of charter operators that features the company’s charter evaluation and qualification (Cheq) rating. Cheq provides charter buyers with an independent rating based on an operator’s actual safety history. Until now, these ratings have not been available free to the public in a searchable online registry. ARGUS IS-BAO Audits Go Platinum Aviation Research Group/US (Booth No. 843) has completed more than 25 combination IS-BAO/ARGUS audits since developing a single-audit protocol that combines the International Business Aircraft Council’s International Standard Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) and the ARGUS Platinum Rating.

Canadian tech company Thoth Technology wants to get in on creating a space elevator. The company was just awarded a patent to create a 12-mile high inflatable space elevator, which could completely change space travel as we know it. Arthur C. Clarke popularized the concept of the space elevator in 1979 in ‘The Birds of Paradise’. Throughout the years, scientists and engineers have worked on making a space elevator a reality, particularly with researching microscopic carbon nanotubes that would be strong enough to support a structure of this magnitude. There are many benefits to having a space elevator. After all, being able launch into to space without the cost and impact of large mounts of rocket fuel is a huge advantage. Thoth stated that their system could save fuel costs by 30 percent. Plus, their elevator would be fully reusable, which can reduce costs even more. For years, the traditional imagining of a space elevator was a towering structure that reached higher than geostationary orbit (22,236 miles above Earth). However, Thoth plans for their structure to be 12 miles high, clearly making the idea of a space elevator more realistic than fictional. “Astronauts would ascend to 20 km by electrical elevator. From the top of the tower, space planes will launch in a single stage to orbit, returning to the top of the tower for refueling and reflight,” stated inventor Brendan Quine. Remember this elevator is also inflatable. There doesn’t seem to be too much extensive information as to how this works, but now that the patent is in place we’re sure to see it soon enough.

Here is a proposal to use three SpaceX Starships for a space station with centrifugal force for simulated gravity. A rigid truss system would be used to connect the modules. This will allow the motors of the Starships to control the spin and accelerate, decelerate and stabilize it. Gravity is needed to make prevent health impacts like weakened bones, muscles and eyes. The suggested plan is to use 100 meters of truss and three rotations per minute. A central starship is needed where there is a hub and docking port for ships that resupply.

I don’t mind a tether to a disposable, spent Earth return stage with biolation–but would prefere large circular craft be sent out by launching a Super-Heavy–esp the 19 meter version–refueling that–and using that to push a huge cycler station out to Mars and back for Starships/Red Dragons to meet up with. the old carnival centrifuge rides work fine for sleeping rooms,adjustable gravity. Fairly easy now, compared to waiting. And fairly easy once we get started, too, with ISRU. fairly easy all along. Well, I’d dispute that “given that”; 1 g is certainly possible, but the structural demands scale approximately with the square of the acceleration, so if 0.5 gravity was good enough, it would be seriously economical. This concept has asymmetry flaws that can’t be mended by the Starship design. And you’d need internal symmetry as well, which means internal fuel storage and consumption would need to be moved and loaded correctly. I’m not sure about the internal stresses that would be caused by the engineering of the Starship, but the truss looks like it would be inadequate for the job. My Gravity concept utilizes a kevlar tether, which can be reeled in during inertial momentum, then once terminal velocity is reached, the spacecraft’s orientation thrusters can spin the craft and the tether can be unfurled through centripetal force. Take note of the external symmetry of the Gravity concept And now you’ve changed the plan to be nothing like the huge inflatable torus that I was originally disagreeing with. Would make it impossible to reverse the spin at the end unless they just separate and leave the stupid thing spinning off into space. What ever part of the ship you attached that thing to would be experiencing full weight of the ship at one gravity, and on top of that it would also have to rotate against that gravity to face the other ship. If SpaceX were planning to do this, then it would make more sense to use just 2 Starships nose to nose with a tension cable connecting them. Fit each Starship with an 2 enlarged RCS engines (if needed) at the base on opposing sides, facing perpendicular to the ship. Attach the cable to both noses and use the regular RCS to unfurl the cable to the necessary length. Then when taut, use coordinated burns of the perpendicular RCS engines at the base to spin up. Use the opposing engines to slow upon arrival, detach the tether and wind back into the nose of one Starship. Inflight, there is no need for a central hub, and this saves the mass of an entire Starship and truss for the journey, as well as simplifying the “assembly” phase. Transport between the Starships during the cruise could be via a climber attached to the tether. “That’s the big unanswered question of space exploration so far. How much gravity do we actually need to have a viable healthy life outside of Earth?” Given that 1 g will be fairly easy, and we *know* it works, the question is “Why do we have to wait to find out anything about other g values, unless we plan to go to a planet?” We know that walking in Lunar gravity wearing the Apollo style excursion suit is surprisingly difficult; No kidding, the joints don’t bend easily, and the suit masses as much as you do, maybe more with a fully loaded backpack. It would be interesting to see what walking around in street clothes in lunar gravity was like, but it’s not like there was a lot of room to take a stroll on the LEM. You say that like modules can’t be reused. You only need a few of the things (6?), rigid trusses between them along the circumference and tension cables through the middle, it’s barely major by ISS standards, and all parts except the cables can be reused in a larger station. And now you’ve gone from a simple (by space station standards) and fast experimental project to building a major construction. The purpose of this was to get something that is fast and simple, exactly so they could test the gravity and other requirements needed to design and build a much larger, complex and permanent structure. We don’t have any ships large enough to launch the ISS, and that’s ~75m long. Sending things in parts is easily doable, especially truss. You could quite happily use cables in tension to begin with, akin to the spokes on a bicycle, adding more a bit later so the tension is at a low, safe level with plenty of redundancy. The secondary question that tends to be ignored in these discussions is how much gravity is comfortable. For example, we know that walking in Lunar gravity is surprisingly difficult. Though it may get easier after enough adaptation time (we also don’t know how much time). I doubt Starships would handle the stresses of being held up at the middle. The primary supportive force needs to be applied at the base of the rocket – e.g. by attaching cables to the landing legs/fins that are designed to support the ship landing on Earth. A cable attached at the nose of both Starships (pointed at each other) could provide the small forces necessary to keep them ‘upright’ should something disturb their balance. With thus 4 cables run through periodic spacers, possibly with rigid poles between the spacers (a tensegrity design) the thing might be safe, and fairly light compared to a heavy rigid truss. The cable/spacer hardware could probably be light enough to be launched on a single Starship, with its own rocket and fuel to let it rendezvous with the mission Starships. It could include a small ‘tug’ rocket that can attach to one of the Starships at its base to handle spin-up/-down. Park it in Mars orbit for a return trip (after refueling it from the Starships now heading home) – no need to land it. Multiple modules are safer than one big one. You can compartmentalise a Hull breech. Yeah, that’s how they did it in the Holy Book of Red Mars. Spin it at 1g at the start of the trip, slowly bringing it down to 0.36g by arrival. It is a great bonus to have different gravity on different floors. Could be used to sleep on outer floors at the beginning of the trip for G close to one and go to higher and higher levers as approaching Mars for lower and lower gravity until matching Mars gravity. This way do not need to change rotation speed. Somehow looks easier than setting up on a planet. To have a sufficiently large Bigalow ring you’d need something very, very big. They are talking 100 m of truss here, plus the size of the spaceships, so maybe 150 m diameter overall. We don’t have any ships large enough to launch a 150 m diameter Bigalow ring. If you spin something with a short radius, you would feel tidal forces over a short distance. Standing in Bigalow, you’d have more gravity at your feet than your head, which would be uncomfortable over long periods. I think at first, Starship will have to be living quarters on Mars, until better accommodations can be constructed. So it must be vertical, since that’s how it lands. He’s probably talking about spin-up, which the video proposes to do by using the main engines of the Starship on each end. Yep it’d be a great way to keep your Mars colonists from getting weakened during the trip. Colonizing Mars will be hard enough, without having to get used to gravity again. Not to mention the health problems that zero-g tends to bring. The truss would be in tension. Structures in tension do not buckle. Well, for one thing, the Starship isn’t designed to be loaded in that direction. Why rotate (noses toward the hub) the two Starships after spinup? Why not just keep them in spin direction and decorate your interior with the floor horizontal instead of vertical. There would be less difference in gravity from top to bottom if the ships spin is horizontal vs Vertical. NO. The truss will buckle. Too much force and is impractical. We do not currently have the material technology. A cenrtifuge has to be housed within the Starship and the passengers take shceduled spin. Why can’t they just make an inflatable bigalow ring And spin it? You could also use one level of bfr as a centerfuge room… Whenever you get sick of zero g… You just go put your self in the spin dryer room …. And go for a run… sofar this has never been tried as far as I know..strange I think even lighting up one raptor would turn that truss into scrap. SpaceX needs a non athmospheric version of starship with vacuum optimized lower thrust propulsion. Perhaps one or two raptors or some hydrolox engine to get into orbit and be able to land on the moon and a battery of ion thrusters or other high isp propulsion. How much propulsion will be needed to loft an empty starship into LEO (no payload) sitting on top of the booster? Getting rid of 25 raptors must be worth something. Maybe also it’s worth it making such a version horizontal with at least four landing legs. It’s quite heavy and landing on unprepared surfaces like the moon will be challenging. If the ground is soft, the ship may find itself in horizontal position anyway. I tend to think it’s overkill for a facility that you’d probably want to keep in operation for at least several years straight; A dedicated facility using Bigelow modules would probably be cheaper than the foregone launch revenue, and could be launched with one Falcon heavy flight. Then again, it would be a good way to test long duration life support prior to a manned Mars mission, and you would probably want the Mars trip to be carried out this way anyway so that passengers could aclimate themselves to Mars gravity. So the information gained might be worth it. Nice. This can be done in LEO/MEO too for testing partial gravity effects upon health, gestation and development in animals far quicker than having a big rotating space station. That’s the big unanswered question of space exploration so far. How much gravity do we actually need to have a viable healthy life outside of Earth? Comments are closed.

Big-budget, Low-budget & Recycled Space Explorers As I type this, a dramatic rescue operation is underway far out in space. OK it’s not exactly Apollo 13 and the spacecraft involved is an old unmanned NASA science probe called ISEE-3 launched back in 1978. At the same time the first ‘official’ UK CubeSat UKube-1 has begun orbiting the Earth. These low-budget projects have rather overshadowed the approaching climax of the big-budget ESA Rosetta mission to land a probe on a comet. The International Sun/Earth Explorer 3 (ISEE-3) later re-tasked as the International Cometary Explorer (ICE) was pretty well shut down and apart from an occasional check to see if it was still alive, forgotten about until someone remembered that it was approaching Earth again. A group of engineers formed the ISEE-3 Reboot Project funded by a Kickstarter campaign and with permission and help from NASA re-established contact. Their aim is to re-light the engines and get it back into an orbit where it can do useful data gathering again given that most of the sensor equipment still works after 16 years. An attempt to fire the thrusters for trajectory change was made last week and each step was Tweeted via their Twitter channel @ISEE3Reboot . Unlikely as it seems, it was quite a nail-biting experience scrolling down my timeline following the live action from ‘mission control‘ (based in a re-cycled MacDonalds restaurant). The attempt was unsuccessful, but a plea for help brought a cascade of advice from engineers around the world. Who says engineers and scientists don’t engage with social media? Since then some thruster firing has been achieved and more is planned. Even if ISEE-3 can’t be brought back into a more suitable orbit, it will still be in communication range for a few months and the on-board sensors are still capable of acquiring useful data – truly amazing considering that it’s been bombarded with radiation way beyond the design limit. Meanwhile, low-budget CubeSat satellites continue to be launched, the latest being UKube-1, a pilot project of the UK Space Agency built by Clyde Space in Scotland. The satellite is a ‘technology demonstrator’ and its aim is not just to conduct experiments of limited interest to most people, but to stimulate student interest in STEM related subjects through the involvement of universities and schools. A detailed summary of the project objectives and technical details can be found here. The educational outreach part of the satellite is known as FUNcube-2 and follows on from the successful launch and operation of FUNcube-1 developed by AMSAT. A key feature of this project is the development of a FUNcube dongle, a radio receiver that plugs into a computer USB port. With the addition of a suitable antenna anybody can download the telemetry from these satellites. How’s that for public access! At the big-budget end of the scale the European probe Rosetta with lander Philae is closing in on its quarry comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, after 10 years in space. The spacecraft should arrive at the comet in August and deploy the Philae lander in November. An interesting issue has developed over access to ‘raw’ data from the probe. At the moment pictures are being released by esa at the rate of one a week because not unreasonably, the scientists and engineers who worked on the experiments want first crack at any discoveries. This is not an issue of government agencies wanting to keep everything secret as anyone who has been following the torrents of raw picture data coming from the Curiosity rover via NASA can see. The latest pictures of 67P coming from Rosetta revealing it to be spinning and shaped like a toy plastic duck, were actually leaked. For this sort of project to be justified a much better balance must be achieved between the needs of the scientists and the public who, one way or another paid for the whole enterprise. If you're stuck for something to do, follow my posts on Twitter. I link to interesting new electronics components and development kits (some of them available from my employer!) and retweet posts I spot about robot, space exploration and other issues. CommentsAdd a comment UPDATE: Well, Philae made it. Despite a number of problems the comet lander has done the near impossible and landed on a comet. Amazing piece of engineering when you consider the designers had no idea what the terrain would be like. Here is the first picture returned. UPDATE on UKube-1: Harwell we have a problem... UKube -1 is suffering from a communications 'anomaly'. The primary system appears to be giving trouble, but the secondary which forms part of the FUNCube-2 payload looks like it can rescue the situation. Fingers crossed. UPDATE: Rosetta completed first of a complex series of moves to get it into orbit around 67P. See how complex on this video: Watch live updates of ISEE-3 position and science data on this new website: UPDATE on ISEE-3 project: Unfortunately it looks like the thrusters can't be fired to bring the probe into an Earth orbit and it will continue orbiting the sun. However there was just enough thruster power available to start it rotating at the optimum rate. Most of the science packages are being brought back on-line and efforts are now concentrated on maintaining communication. Data streamed back to Earth will be available to all making this a true Citizen Science mission. None of this would have been achieved without crowd-funding and social media - sceptical engineers and scientists take note! http://spacecollege.org/isee3/announcin ... ssion.html

NASA's Odyssey Reaches Mars On Oct. 23, NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey space probe entered a highly elliptical orbit around Mars as planned. The craft was to continue to perform a series of aerobraking maneuvers, skimming the atmosphere of the planet to slow itself and so circularize the orbit. The investigators plan to begin Odyssey's mapping mission in February. They have tested Odyssey's high-energy neutron detector, neutron spectrometer and thermal emission imaging system. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Pasadena, Calif., manages the Odyssey mission and will control the spacecraft's operations with Lockheed Martin Astronautics of Denver. Researchers at Arizona State University in Tempe, the University of Arizona in Tucson and NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston will operate the probe's instrument package.

Robert Marsland Groves Air Commodore Robert Marsland Groves, was a Royal Navy officer involved with naval aviation during the First World War. He was awarded his Aviator's Certificate no. 969 on 15 November 1914. After transferring to the Royal Air Force in 1918, he served as Deputy Chief of the Air Staff and held high command in the Middle East, he was killed in a flying accident in 1920 aged 40 whilst serving in Egypt. Robert Marsland Groves was born on 3 January 1880 at Stretford in Lancashire, the son of James Grimble Groves, a brewer and Conservative MP. Robert Groves was educated at Rossall School, he joined the Royal Navy as a midshipman in the 1890s, rising to sub-lieutenant by the summer of 1899 and lieutenant on 15 February 1900. In September 1902 Groves was posted to the torpedo school ship HMS Vernon, to qualify for torpedo lieutenant. Groves was promoted to commander on 22 June 1911 and the following year on 26 November 1912, he was appointed Flag Commander to the Commander-in-Chief Mediterranean on HMS Inflexible. He served in the First World War as Assistant Director of the Air Department at the Admiralty and as Officer Commanding No. 1 Squadron RNAS before returning to the Admiralty to be Assistant Secretary of the Air Board. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order in 1919, the citation for, published in a supplement to the London Gazette on 22 June, reading: Commander Robert Marsland Groves. R. N.. In recognition of his services in command of a Wing of the Royal Naval Air Service at Dunkirk. Commander Groves has by his personal skill as a pilot, by his untiring zeal, effected a marked advancement in the general standard of flying on active service, he has on several occasions carried out successful reconnaissances to Ostend under fire, by his own example has proved the utility and great importance of night flying." After the War he became Director of Operations and Intelligence. He went on to be Acting Air Officer Commanding RAF Middle East Area in 1919 and Air Officer Commanding Egyptian Group in 1920. Grove died aged 40 on 27 May 1920 in Egypt from injuries received in an aircraft crash, he was buried at the Cairo New British Protestant Cemetery. Air of Authority – A History of RAF Organisation – Air Commodore R M Groves Sholto Douglas, 1st Baron Douglas of Kirtleside Marshal of the Royal Air Force William Sholto Douglas, 1st Baron Douglas of Kirtleside, was a senior commander in the Royal Air Force. After serving as a pilot a flight commander and as a squadron commander during the First World War, he served a flying instructor during the inter-war years before becoming Director of Staff Duties and Assistant Chief of the Air Staff at the Air Ministry. During the Second World War Douglas clashed with other senior commanders over strategy in the Battle of Britain. Douglas argued for a more aggressive engagement with a'Big Wing' strategy i.e. using massed fighters to defend the United Kingdom against enemy bombers. He became Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Fighter Command in which role he was responsible for rebuilding the command's strength after the attrition of the Battle of Britain, but for bringing it on the offensive to wrest the initiative in the air from the German Luftwaffe. Douglas went on to be Air Officer Commanding in Chief of RAF Middle East Command in which role he was an advocate of Operation Accolade, a planned British amphibious assault on Rhodes and the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea, was disappointed when it was abandoned. He became commander of the British Zone of Occupation in Germany after the war. Born the son of Professor Robert Langton Douglas and his wife Margaret Jane Douglas, Douglas was educated at Emanuel School, Tonbridge School and Lincoln College, Oxford. Douglas was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery on 15 August 1914. In January 1915, following a disagreement with his commanding officer, he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps joining No. 2 Squadron as an observer. He soon trained as a pilot and earned Royal Aero Club certificate No 1301. Promoted to lieutenant on 9 June 1915, he became a pilot with No. 14 Squadron at Shoreham in July 1915 and transferred to No. 8 Squadron, flying B. E.2c aircraft on the Western Front, in August 1915. Appointed a flight commander with the rank of temporary captain in December 1915, he joined No. 18 Squadron at Montrose in January 1916. He was awarded the Military Cross on 14 January 1916. Douglas went on to be officer commanding No. 43 Squadron, flying Sopwith 1½ Strutters on the Western Front, in April 1916 and, having been promoted to temporary major on 1 July 1916, he became officer commanding No. 84 Squadron, flying S. E.5s on the Western Front, in August 1917. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross on 8 February 1919. After the war Douglas worked for Handley Page and as a commercial pilot before rejoining the Royal Air Force in 1920 after a chance meeting with Hugh Trenchard. After being granted a permanent commission as a squadron leader on 25 March 1920, Douglas attended the RAF Staff College and served as a flight instructor four years. Promoted to wing commander on 1 January 1925, he continued his work as an instructor before attending the Imperial Defence College in 1927, he became station commander at RAF North Weald in January 1928 and joined the Air Staff at Headquarters Middle East Command in Khartoum in August 1929. Promoted to group captain on 1 January 1932, he became an instructor at the Imperial Defence College in June 1932 and having been promoted to air commodore on 1 January 1935, he became Director of Staff Duties at the Air Ministry on 1 January 1936. Promoted to air vice marshal on 1 January 1938, he went on to be Assistant Chief of the Air Staff on 17 February 1938. On 22 April 1940, with the Second World War well under way, he was made Deputy Chief of the Air Staff. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 11 July 1940. During 1940, Douglas and Trafford Leigh-Mallory clashed with the head of No. 11 Group, Keith Park, the head of Fighter Command, Hugh Dowding, over strategy in the Battle of Britain. Douglas argued for a more aggressive engagement with a'Big Wing' strategy i.e. using massed fighters to defend the United Kingdom against enemy bombers. When Charles Portal was made Chief of the Air Staff in October 1940 he supported Douglas, moving Park and Dowding and appointing Douglas to replace Dowding as Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Fighter Command, with the temporary rank of air marshal on 25 November 1940, he was advanced to Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 1 July 1941 and promoted to the substantive rank of air marshal on 14 April 1942. At around this time Prime Minister Winston Churchill recommended Douglas to command the China Burma India Theater but General George Marshall refused to accept the appointment due to Douglas's well known dislike of Americans. As commander-in-chief of Fighter Command, Douglas was responsible for rebuilding the command's strength after the attrition of the Battle of Britain, but for bringing it on the offensive to wrest the initiative in the air from the German Luftwaffe. He was therefore one of the main orchestrators of the only successful Circus offensive whereby large wings of fighters accompanied by bombers would take advantage of good weather to sweep over Northern France. Douglas was promoted to temporary air chief marshal on 1 July 1942. On 28 November 1942 Douglas was replaced at Fighter Command by Trafford Leigh-Mallory and was transferred to Egypt, becoming Air Officer Commanding in Chief of RAF Middle East Command in January 1943. In that capacity Douglas was an advocate of Operation Accolade, a planned British amphibious assault on Rhodes and the Dodecanese Islands in the Aegean Sea, was disappointed when it was abandoned. Douglas returned to England in January 1944 to head Coastal Command during the invasion of Normandy and having been confirmed in the rank of air chief marshal on 6 June 1945, he became Commander in Chief, British Air Forces of Occupation in July 1945. He was advanced to Knig The London Gazette The London Gazette is one of the official journals of record of the British government, the most important among such official journals in the United Kingdom, in which certain statutory notices are required to be published. The London Gazette claims to be the oldest surviving English newspaper and the oldest continuously published newspaper in the UK, having been first published on 7 November 1665 as The Oxford Gazette; this claim is made by the Stamford Mercury and Berrow's Worcester Journal, because The Gazette is not a conventional newspaper offering general news coverage. It does not have a large circulation. Other official newspapers of the UK government are The Edinburgh Gazette and The Belfast Gazette, apart from reproducing certain materials of nationwide interest published in The London Gazette contain publications specific to Scotland and Northern Ireland, respectively. In turn, The London Gazette carries not only notices of UK-wide interest, but those relating to entities or people in England and Wales. However, certain notices that are only of specific interest to Scotland or Northern Ireland are required to be published in The London Gazette. The London and Belfast Gazettes are published by TSO on behalf of Her Majesty's Stationery Office, they are subject to Crown copyright. The London Gazette is published each weekday, except for bank holidays. Notices for the following, among others, are published: Granting of royal assent to bills of the Parliament of the United Kingdom or of the Scottish Parliament The issuance of writs of election when a vacancy occurs in the House of Commons Appointments to certain public offices Commissions in the Armed Forces and subsequent promotion of officers Corporate and personal insolvency Granting of awards of honours and military medals Changes of names or of coats of arms Royal Proclamations and other DeclarationsHer Majesty's Stationery Office has digitised all issues of the Gazette, these are available online; the official Gazettes are published by The Stationery Office. The content, apart from insolvency notices, is available in a number of machine-readable formats, including XML and XML/RDFa via Atom feed. The London Gazette was first published as The Oxford Gazette on 7 November 1665. Charles II and the Royal Court had moved to Oxford to escape the Great Plague of London, courtiers were unwilling to touch London newspapers for fear of contagion; the Gazette was "Published by Authority" by Henry Muddiman, its first publication is noted by Samuel Pepys in his diary. The King returned to London as the plague dissipated, the Gazette moved too, with the first issue of The London Gazette being published on 5 February 1666; the Gazette was not a newspaper in the modern sense: it was sent by post to subscribers, not printed for sale to the general public. Her Majesty's Stationery Office took over the publication of the Gazette in 1889. Publication of the Gazette was transferred to the private sector, under government supervision, in the 1990s, when HMSO was sold and renamed The Stationery Office. In time of war, despatches from the various conflicts are published in The London Gazette. People referred to are said to have been mentioned in despatches; when members of the armed forces are promoted, these promotions are published here, the person is said to have been "gazetted". Being "gazetted" sometimes meant having official notice of one's bankruptcy published, as in the classic ten-line poem comparing the stolid tenant farmer of 1722 to the lavishly spending faux-genteel farmers of 1822: Notices of engagement and marriage were formerly published in the Gazette. Gazettes, modelled on The London Gazette, were issued for most British colonial possessions.

Educated at Eastman's School, Radley College and Sandhurst, Ludlow-Hewitt was commissioned into the Royal Irish Rifles in 1905, but transferred to the Royal Flying Corps before the First World War, where he qualified on 11 September 1914 for the Royal Aero Club's Aviator's Certificate no. 886. During the war he served first as a pilot in No. 1 Squadron Royal Flying Corps and later as the Officer Commanding No. 15 Squadron and No. 3 Squadron on the Western Front. In 1916 Ludlow-Hewitt took up command of the 3rd Wing as a temporary lieutenant colonel. Late in the following year, he was promoted to brigadier general and made the Inspector of Training at the headquarters of the RFC Training Division. Like other members of the RFC, he transferred to the Royal Air Force on its creation on 1 April 1918, it was on that date that he became General Officer Commanding the Training Division. Less than two months he was appointed GOC the 10th Brigade. He was appointed Air Secretary in 1922 and Commandant of the RAF Staff College in 1926. He went on to be Air Officer Commanding Iraq Command in 1930, Deputy Chief of the Air Staff and Director of Operations and Intelligence in 1933 and Air Officer Commanding the RAF India in 1935. In 1937 Ludlow-Hewitt was promoted to Air Chief Marshal and appointed Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief of Bomber Command. In the Second World War, Ludlow-Hewitt was replaced by Portal in April 1940 because of Ludlow-Hewitt's insistence on the formation of Operational Training Units, at the expense of the availability of front line airmen, he spent the remainder of the war as Inspector-General of the RAF and did not retire until November 1945, making him the RAF officer with the longest service as an Air Chief Marshal throughout the history of the RAF

Russia’s heavy-class rocket Angara carrying manned spacecraft will be launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome, the Amur region in Russia’s Far East, in 2018, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said in an interview with Rossiya 24 television channel. “By 2018 we should be absolutely ready, we have such plans and they will be translated into reality,” he said. “We will make a manned flight on heavy-class Angara from the second launch pad of the Vostochny cosmodrome.” He recalled that the Russian president signed a schedule for creating rocket complexes - light-class Angara and heavy-class Angara. “Light-class carrier rocket Angara had already been delivered to the Plesetsk cosmodrome (in the Arkhangelsk region, northern Russia). It is now undergoing tests,” Rogozin said. “We plan that already next year we will make the first launch of light-class Angara. In compliance with the schedule this will be May-June 2014. By the end of next year we should launch heavy-class Angara from Plesetsk.

The powered flight sequence for the OCO mission will take approximately 13 minutes, from the time the Taurus rocket lifts off from the 576-E launch pad at VAFB to the time that the satellite is deployed into orbit. Orbital will launch the 986-pound OCO spacecraft into a circular polar orbit approximately 400 miles above the Earth, inclined at 98.2 degrees to the equator. About 10 days after launch, following the initial in-orbit spacecraft check-out procedures, OCO will employ its onboard propulsion system to raise its orbit to 438 miles, where it will join a constellation of other NASA Earth-observing satellites known as the “A-Train” that fly in formation and cross the Equator every afternoon. OCO will be the sixth satellite in the A-Train, joining five About the Taurus Launch Vehicle Orbital developed the ground-launched Taurus XL vehicle to provide a reliable and cost-effective means of launching satellites weighing up to approximately 3,000 pounds into low-Earth orbit. The OCO mission will be the eighth flight of the Taurus rocket, with six of the previous seven missions having been fully successful. Taurus incorporates advanced structural and avionics technology proven on the company’s Pegasus rocket and other operational launch systems. It is also designed for easy transportability and austere site operations, offering customers rapid-response launches from a wide range of locations. Orbital’s Taurus rocket has also earned NASA’s launch vehicle reliability certification, enabling the space agency to launch satellites of high value and importance aboard the launch vehicle. Taurus joins Orbital’s other rocket that supports About the OCO Satellite Orbital designed, built, integrated and tested the OCO satellite at its The OCO satellite will help solve some of the lingering mysteries in our understanding of Earth’s carbon cycle and its primary atmospheric component, carbon dioxide, a chemical compound that is produced both naturally and through human activities. Each year, humans release more than 30 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through the burning of fossil fuels for powering vehicles, generating electricity and manufacturing products. About 5 additional tons of carbon dioxide are released each year by biomass burning, forest fires and land-use practices such as slash-and-burn agriculture. These activities are estimated to have increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by almost 20 percent in just the past 50 years. OCO will provide the first complete picture of human and natural carbon dioxide sources, as well as the places where carbon dioxide is absorbed out of the atmosphere, known as “sinks.” Orbital develops and manufactures small- and medium-class rockets and space systems for commercial, military and civil government customers. The company’s primary products are satellites and launch vehicles, including low-Earth orbit, geosynchronous-Earth orbit and planetary spacecraft for communications, remote sensing, scientific and defense missions; human-rated space systems for Earth-orbit, lunar and other missions; ground- and air-launched rockets that deliver satellites into orbit; and missile defense systems that are used as interceptor and target vehicles. Orbital also provides satellite subsystems and space-related technical services to government agencies and laboratories. Note to Editors: Orbital Sciences Corporation Public and Investor Relations

A few other FF pilots were there also, and we worked with the good-natured RC pilots until most of the little FF airplanes were doing well.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been extremely cost-conscious with the Starship, which is about to launch into orbit hopefully in a few months. While showing the prototype back in September, Musk said using stainless steel against carbon fiber has helped them to cut down the cost. It makes perfect sense because the ultimate mission is to make space travel as affordable as possible. Apart from changes to the design, the ability to reuse rockets has also helped the SpaceX team in cost-saving. SpaceX has used Falcon 9 booster over and over again to deliver payloads into space. But Elon Musk says the Starship will be more reusable than ever and would cost “much less than even a tiny rocket,”. Speaking at the U.S. Air Force’s annual pitch day in LA, Musk said the including the fuel cost and operational cost per launch, it would probably come down to $2 million. Previously, SpaceX has referred Starship as a “fully reusable transportation system” that can deliver heavy cargo and crew to lunar orbit, and beyond. Since the Starship is designed to deliver payloads at a lower marginal cost per launch, SpaceX plans to replace all the launch vehicles including Falcon 9 and Falcon 9 Heavy. The final launch is set for 2020. As of now, SpaceX is testing Starship Mk1 and Mk2 prototypes within the earth’s atmosphere for controlled flight and landing.

Wednesday, President Trump made a major announcement regarding air travel. The New York Times reported that President Trump announced that the United States was grounding Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft, reversing an earlier decision by American regulators to keep the jets flying in the wake of a second deadly crash involving one of the jets in Ethiopia. The Federal Aviation Administration had for days resisted calls to ground the plane even as safety regulators in some 42 countries had banned flights by the jets. As recently as Tuesday, the agency said it had seen “no systemic performance issues” that would prompt it to halt flights of the jet. “The safety of the American people, of all people, is our paramount concern,” Mr. Trump said. Watch the video: NEW: Boeing 737 Max 8 & 9 jets to be grounded in U.S., "effective immediately," Pres. Trump announces at White House; a growing list of countries and airlines had removed Max planes from air after last weekend's deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash https://t.co/mYwVD586wu pic.twitter.com/W2bVym1foE — CBS Evening News (@CBSEveningNews) March 13, 2019 President Donald Trump is issuing an ’emergency order’ grounding all Boeing 737 Max 8 and Max 9 aircraft following the Sunday crash of an Ethiopian Airlines flight, according to the Associated Press. It was the second crash of the new 737 variant in less than six months. Many nations in the world had already barred the Boeing 737 Max 8 from its airspace, but until now, the Federal Aviation Administration had been saying that it didn’t have any data to show the jets are unsafe. Trump said Wednesday that the FAA would be making the announcement soon to ground the planes. He says any plane currently in the air will go to its destination and then be grounded. Trump says pilots and airlines have been notified. He says the safety of the American people is of “paramount concern.” Safety experts have said it’s too early to draw any definitive conclusions about the jet since investigations about the crashes are still ongoing. Still, some flyers have raised concerns after the latest accident. How to check if your flight is on a Boeing 737 Yes, most airline websites show the type of aircraft used on their individual flights. Details vary by carrier, but most include a “details” or similar link that reveals that information. On Southwest, for example, customers can click on their flight number when booking to see the aircraft. (Example in image below.) Customers also can use a flight-tracking site like FlightAware to check for their aircraft types.

A celebration 30 years in the making turned into somber disappointment Tuesday morning as NASA announced that Seattle’s Museum of Flight would not receive one of the agency’s retiring space shuttles. “Obviously that is not the news we were hoping for this morning,” Museum of Flight President and CEO Doug King told a silent crowd. “I believe if there had been one or two more shuttles to go around, we would have gotten one.” Instead, the museum’s bold bid to host a space shuttle — a $12 million Space Gallery now under construction — will house the space agency’s single full-fuselage simulator used by every astronaut to train for shuttle flights. A delivery date for the life-size space shuttle replica has not been set. Although the simulator is the only one of its kind, the Museum of Flight’s Space Gallery, due to open next year, might feel diminished for some who had their hopes set on seeing one of the four shuttles. NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said the California Science Center in Los Angeles would receive Endeavour; Discovery will go to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.; the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City would receive Enterprise (used for testing and never sent into orbit); and Atlantis would go to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The shuttle simulator may be the best consolation prize that the Museum of Flight could have received. King said it would be as inspiring as a shuttle for museum visitors and young people. The mock shuttle simulator will be cheaper for the museum to transport to Seattle, although the exact cost won’t be known for another two months. “It will be significantly less expensive to do that than one of the shuttles,” King said. Shuttles would cost an estimated $28.8 million or more to transport and house, according to NASA. The simulator will also be more accessible to visitors who can walk inside it, unlike the shuttles, for which public access is restricted. Some news outlets reported around 9:30 a.m. that the museum would not get a shuttle — reports that King acknowledged before the crowd a short while later. It was a painful, one-hour wait before the official announcement came a little after 10:30 a.m. During that hour, disappointment slowly crept across the faces of those gathered inside the Museum of Flight’s side gallery, which is next to a main gallery packed with examples of aeronautical aviation, including the Lockheed Blackbird, the fastest jet plane ever built. Many of those gathered were museum staff, who probably had more invested in the bid to acquire a shuttle than anyone present for the announcement. Another 1 million pieces of NASA-owned equipment will be available for distribution. Former Museum of Flight Director and head of the campaign to acquire a shuttle, Bonnie Dunbar, said the museum would most like to acquire space suits. Among the 200 people gathered to hear the announcement were aviation engineering businessman Jeff Raisbeck and cell phone giant Bruce McCaw. One guest was 10-year-old Emily D'Arcy of Sammamish, who came to the announcement dressed in a mock space suit with her father, Mark D'Arcy. While many museum employees were able to hide their true feelings, Emily’s face clearly conveyed her disappointment. King said the Museum of Flight would be open free to the public on Saturday to celebrate the acquisition of the full trainer.

Fri, Nov 06, 2009 First 'Customer' Is Cessna President's Wife Cessna said Thursday it will deliver the first Model 162 Skycatcher Light Sport Aircraft to the first customer of the model later this year. The customer, Rose Pelton of Wichita, Kansas, will use the aircraft to pursue her private pilot’s license. “When I first saw the Skycatcher mockup at Oshkosh in 2007, I knew that was the aircraft I wanted to learn to fly in,” Pelton said. “I couldn’t be more excited to own the first Skycatcher.” Rose is the wife of Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack J. The Model 162 Skycatcher is a two-place, single-engine piston, high-wing aircraft in the Light Sport Aircraft category, defined in the United States as an aircraft with a gross weight under 1,320 pounds and with a top speed of no more than 120 knots. LSAs are built to ASTM International standards. The 162 is powered by a Continental O-200D 100-hp air-cooled, carbureted engine and a fixed-pitch propeller. The aircraft will cruise at speeds up to 118 knots and will have a maximum range of 470 nautical miles. The Cessna 162 Skycatcher features a Garmin G300 avionics system. Information is presented in a single, split-screen primary flight display (PFD) and multi-function display (MFD), or as two full-screen displays with an optional second screen. The Skycatcher will be capable of Visual Flight Cessna, in association with King Schools, has also developed a new Web-based training system for sport and private pilot certificates that will be available through the Cessna Pilot Center network of flight schools. Cessna launched its Skycatcher program at AirVenture Oshkosh in 2007 and has since amassed more than 1,000 orders.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS Investigates Destination: Delinquent If you own a car in Minnesota, you're supposed to pay the state registration tabs for your license plates. If you own and fly a plane or a helicopter, you also owe taxes. But some aren't paying. We uncovered thousands of tax dollars left on the table and a registration system with holes big enough to fly a plane through. A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS investigation, led by reporter Mark Albert, tracks down a place called Destination: Delinquent. Watch our investigation above. BY THE NUMBERS: $225,493: The amount the Minnesota Department of Transportation says was owed in overdue aircraft registration taxes as of Feb. 9, 2012. $2.50: The initial penalty if an aircraft owner does not pay their overdue registration taxes in Minnesota, regardless of the value of the aircraft. The maximum penalty for unpaid registration tax is $200, no matter the aircraft's value or how many years the tax has been delinquent. 0: The number of liens placed by MnDOT on aircraft with delinquent registration taxes since 2007. 0: The number of people charged in court for not paying their aircraft registration, which is a misdemeanor offense under state law. "The collection system is complex and referring delinquencies to the court system will only add to that complexity as well as to the taxpayer burden," said MnDOT spokesman Kevin Gutknecht. "However, legal action is certainly something we will consider in the future." $6.5 million: The amount collected in Minnesota aircraft registration taxes in fiscal year 2011. 7,827: The number of aircraft registered in Minnesota (as of Feb. 9, 2012). 2: The number of staff at MnDOT's Office of Aeronautics that oversees aircraft registration tax payments and compliance. 357,000: The number of aircraft registered in the United States. 1/3: The estimated amount of aircraft registrations in the United States that have inaccurate records, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 143,800: The approximate number of aircraft that have already re-registered with the FAA as part of its mandated overhaul that began Oct. 1, 2010. All aircraft must be re-registered by Dec. 31, 2013. 100,000: The estimated number of aircraft registrations that will be canceled by the end of the FAA's re-registration process for failing to re-register. Click here to view a list of all aircraft owners MnDOT considered delinquent and overdue (those who owed registration tax longer than one fiscal year) as of Feb. 9, 2012, which totaled $225,493.

Allegiant Air to offer nonstop flights from Boise to Honolulu, Las Vegas Published: August 7, 2012 Idaho Statesman Staff Boise Airport Director Rebecca Hupp said the airline’s decision to begin service to and from Boise is a bet on the city’s future and a validation of the airport’s viability and infrastructure. When Allegiant purchased Boeing 757 aircraft for its nonstop flights from the continental United States to Honolulu, Boise was among the first airports to inquire about the service, spokesman Brian Davis said. Honolulu service will begin Feb. 10 with introductory fares starting at $180 one way. Las Vegas service will begin Oct. 26 with introductory fares starting at $62 one way. "The only thing, I think, that could make this better is for the mayor and his family to be on the inaugural flight to Honolulu,” Bieter joked at the announcement ceremony Tuesday. The introductory fares are limited and must be purchased by Aug. 14 for travel by Jan. 15 for Las Vegas and April 16 for Hawaii. Visit www.allegiant.com for booking and flight information.

In a bid to enhance navigation for robotic explorers and GPS satellite tv for pc operations, the work on a Deep Space Atomic Clock has reached a vital milestone. Scientists have now managed to stabilise the clock in space, reaching greater than 10 instances the soundness of present space-based atomic clocks getting used on GPS satellites. Scientists have stated that atomic clocks are important for deep space exploration and international navigation satellite tv for pc programs. They have now improved the power of space-based atomic clocks to measure time persistently over longer durations. The progress was reported in a paper published in the journal Nature, which acknowledged that though space atomic clocks with low instability had been an enabling know-how for international navigation, they haven’t but been utilized to deep space navigation. So far, they’ve seen solely restricted utility owing to efficiency constraints imposed by the rigours of space operation. WHAT IS ATOMIC CLOCK? Atomic clocks are used to measure the space between two objects in space by measuring very secure and exact frequencies of sunshine emitted by particular atoms. These clocks stay ultra-stable for many years, nevertheless, their design is too cumbersome, power-hungry and delicate to environmental variations. Due to their enormity, they must be condensed for spaceflight operations and deep space explorations. The Deep Space Atomic Clock is a critical improve to the satellite-based atomic clocks that allow the GPS on our telephones. This new know-how can make spacecraft navigation to distant locations like Mars extra autonomous. Atomic clocks used onboard GPS satellites that orbit the Earth want updates two instances per day to appropriate the clocks’ pure drift from ground-based atomic clocks. This new know-how may make spacecraft navigation to distant places like Mars extra autonomous. (Photo: Nasa) WHY DO WE USE ATOMIC CLOCKS IN NAVIGATION? Clocks are used to find out the situation and heading of a spacecraft from Earth. Navigators ship a sign to the spacecraft, which then returns it to Earth. The time the sign requires to make that two-way journey reveals the spacecraft’s distance from Earth. According to Nasa, navigators calculate the trajectory and vacation spot of a spacecraft by sending these a number of indicators and in a bid to know the spacecraft’s place inside a meter, navigators want clocks with precision time decision — clocks that can measure billionths of a second. “As a general rule, an uncertainty of one nanosecond in time corresponds to a distance uncertainty of about one foot,” Joint Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) quoted Eric Burt, an atomic clock physicist as saying. These clocks stay ultra-stable for many years, nevertheless, their design is too cumbersome, power-hungry and delicate to environmental variations. (Photo: SpaceX) WHY IS STABILITY IMPORTANT FOR ATOMIC CLOCKS? Currently, engineers use refrigerator-sized atomic clocks on the bottom to log the timing of these indicators. However, for robots on Mars or extra distant locations, ready for the indicators to make the journey can rapidly add as much as tens of minutes and even hours. This time lag can be considerably decreased if spacecraft carried atomic clocks and are in a position to calculate their very own place and route. Therefore, their stability is of utmost significance. “The stability and subsequent time delay reported in the new paper is about five times better than what the team reported in 2020. This does not represent an improvement in the clock itself but in the team’s measurement of the clock’s stability,” JPL stated. The work of the Deep Space Atomic Clock, which has been working aboard General Atomic’s Orbital Test Bed spacecraft since June 2019, will conclude in August. NASA has introduced that the Deep Space Atomic Clock-2, an improved model of the cutting-edge timekeeper, will fly on the just lately introduced VERITAS mission to Venus.

Airbus US Space & Defense won a $119.8 million contract modification for an extension of contractor logistics support services for the UH-72 Lakota. The UH-72A Lakota is a light utility helicopter. UH-72A Lakota helicopters were acquired to replace the UH-1H Iroquois and OH-58 A/C Kiowa helicopters. Work will take place in Grand Prairie, Texas. Estimated completion date is June 30, 2022. The US Marine Corps (USMC) has flown the first AH-1Z flight that has Link-16 capability. Bell says a two-way connection was completed from the helicopter to a ground station. Bell added that the Link-16 package from Northrop Grumman adds a new digital moving map, a new security architecture and Advanced Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2) datalinks to the helicopter.

The prototypes will have content supplied by the United Kingdom, such as the remotely controlled weapon stations, generic vehicle architecture components, the local situational awareness system or the vehicle emergency lighting system. Yomiuri Shimbun reports that Japan will budget for the research and development of its loyal wingman in next year’s fiscal budget. The report added that the unmanned air aircraft will be carried aboard the next-generation fighter dubbed F-X. The concept is not new in Japan. The former Fuji Heavy Industries develop the Fuji TACOM unmanned aerial vehicle from 1995 to 2011. The drone was carried on board the F-4E and F-15J. The US Air Force has also integrated the UTAP-22 Mako on the F-15C. The Indian Navy has started to train its personnel to fly and maintain the MH-60R naval helicopter in the United States. The detachment have started their training at NAS Pensacola. Hindustan Times reports that two MH-60Rs will delivered to the Indian Navy next month and the third helicopter will be delivered by end of the year. Watch: Viper AH-1Z attack helicopter air missile capability DID’s FOCUS articles offer in-depth, updated looks at significant military programs of record. This is DID’s FOCUS Article regarding the US Army’s Light Utility Helicopter program, covering the program and its objectives, the winning bid team and industrial arrangements, and contracts. The US Army’s LUH program will finish as a 325 helicopter acquisition program that will be worth about $2.3 billion when all is said and done. It aimed to replace existing UH-1 Hueys and OH-58 Kiowa utility variants in non-combat roles, freeing up larger and more expensive UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters for front-line duty. In June 2006, a variant of Eurocopter’s EC145 beat AgustaWestland’s AB139, Bell-Textron’s 412EP Twin Huey, and MD Helicopters’ 902 Explorer NOTAR (No Tail Rotor) design. The win marked EADS’ 1st serious military win in the American market, and their “UH-145” became the “UH-72A Lakota” at an official December 2006 naming ceremony. Eurocopter has continued to field new mission kits and deliver helicopters from its Mississippi production line, while trying to build on their LUH breakthrough. A training helicopter win will keep the line going for a couple more years… Latest updates[?]: The US Marine Corps (USMC) has flown the first AH-1Z flight that has Link-16 capability. Bell says a two-way connection was completed from the helicopter to a ground station. Bell added that the Link-16 package from Northrop Grumman adds a new digital moving map, a new security architecture and Advanced Networking Wideband Waveform (ANW2) datalinks to the helicopter. UH-1Y and AH-1Z by Neville Dawson The US Marines’ helicopter force is aging at all levels, from banana-shaped CH-46 Sea Knight transports that are far older than their pilots, to the 1980s-era UH-1N Hueys and AH-1W Cobra attack helicopters that make up the Corps’ helicopter assault force. While the tilt-rotor V-22 Osprey program has staggered along for almost 2 decades under accidents, technical delays, and cost issues, replacement of the USMC’s backbone helicopter assets has languished. Given the high-demand scenarios inherent in the current war, other efforts are clearly required. Enter the H-1 program, the USMC’s plan to remanufacture older helicopters into new and improved UH-1Y utility and AH-1Z attack helicopters. The new versions would discard the signature 2-bladed rotors for modern 4-bladed improvements, redo the aircraft’s electronics, and add improved engines and weapons to offer a new level of performance. It seemed simple, but hasn’t quite worked out that way. The H-1 program has encountered its share of delays and issues, but the program survived its review, and continued on into production and deployment. DID’s FOCUS articles offer in-depth, updated looks at significant military programs of record. This article covers the H-1 helicopter programs’ rationales and changes, the upgrades involved in each model, program developments and annual budgets, the full timeline of contracts and key program developments, and related research sources.

DALLAS — The first Boeing 777-300ER converted freighter has taken to the skies for the first time. The passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion was carried out by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), with the maiden example set to be delivered to AerCap. The B777-300ERSF is the largest two-engine cargo airliner in the world and is currently in the final steps of the certification process. One of Boeing’s most popular cargo aircraft is the B777F. Over 220 planes of this type are operated. Boeing is building the cargo aircraft from the factory, based on a B777-200LR. In 2019, GECAS, General Electric’s and IAI’s leasing arm, jointly decided to convert a B777-300ER, dubbed the “Big Twin.” The converted jet is around two meters longer than a conventional B777F and, according to GECAS, has a 25% increased capacity compared to other twin-engine cargo aircraft. A large loading door has been installed, allowing 819 cubic meters of loading volume. According to the IAI, the maximum payload should be around 100 tons, with a range of around 8,600 kilometers. This means that the 777-300ERSF is actually in the power range of the 747-400F. The biggest advantage is that it still needs about 20% less kerosene in comparison and thus contributes to reducing CO2 emissions in aviation. The first B777-ERSF is set to be delivered to the US freight airline Kalitta Air (K4), based in Ypsilanti (Michigan). K4 has placed an order for three of the type and is set to receive the first “Big Twin” in 2023. More than 60 aircraft are expected to be delivered over the next five years. AerCap alone has ordered 20 cargo aircraft of this type and signed options for another 10. To meet the high demand for cargo aircraft, Israel Aerospace Industries is setting up several remote conversion sites worldwide in addition to the facilities of IAI’s parent company. Last year, the IAI Aviation Group signed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of passenger-to-freighter conversion contracts with the world’s largest airlines, including AerCap, Emirates Cargo, Challenge Group, EVA Air and CargoJet.

- published: 13 Jul 2016 - views: 2021 MUSCAT, OMAN — A small private jet miraculously survived after it was flipped over and plunged 10,000 feet after getting caught in turbulence from a passing superjumbo jet. According to a recent report in the Aviation Herald, the Bombardier Challenger 604 had nine passengers on board and was flying over the Arabian Sea from the Maldives to Abu Dhabi at around 8:40 a.m. on Jan. 7 when it encountered an Emirates Airbus A380 en route from Dubai to Sydney. As the private jet flew underneath the double-decker Airbus, it was hit by the much larger plane’s wake turbulence. The turbulence flipped the small jet over five times, subjecting those inside to strong G-forces and injuring several of them.

However, some states are proposing legislation, such as California, that would allow firefighters and authorities to cancel drones if they interfere with emergencies like wildfires. Blocking access to airports, hovering over fires and crossing highways could be seen as situations that could bring down these drones. However, it remains unclear whether officials legally allow the use of radio signal jammer such as drone jamming devices. The clearance system for uav swarm defense, reclaiming low altitude defense and laser intercept, on civil, as well as to the embassy, nuclear power station, oil depot, government buildings, museums and other important place to implement a low unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) defense, also can decorate in civil airport, drive the airport runway and surrounding environment of all kinds of birds, still can stop in the civilian route of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) low-flying aircraft such as the black fly, showing great use value. SD – 10 – a laser systems have been invited to the ministry of public security clearance of the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) organized by the national demonstration, chongqing international expo security intelligence industry, “invisible interception – 2018” unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) challenge and some activities such as organization of actual combat maneuvers, on-site destroyed several rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) and fixed wing uavs, defensive attack effect is remarkable. It can be said that the laser clearance system has become a “low, slow and small” aerial vehicle “busters. Crucially, the lasers cause little collateral damage and can be used effectively in densely populated areas. If you’re an unmanned pilot trying to control a drone in a no-fly zone that you shouldn’t be flying, then because of all the legal complications we can’t control and hit drones and jamming devices in flight, no one can do that to stop you right now. But with the development of technology, countries have found a new solution: “uav shielding”. Not only that, but the lasers could also be used to jam the electro-optical reconnaissance systems of military drones like the U.S. predator reaper. This kind of laser weapon can be used for anti-reconnaissance in military. It can cause full-screen interference, deep saturation interference and physical damage to the optical camera of uas within a range of tens of kilometers. This point, may be other domestic clearance system does not have the function.

The space industry has launched an average of about 100 satellites a year over the past five decades, but when something goes wrong, Australia’s HEO Robotics wants to have eyes on it. HEO Robotics, initially founded in 2016 by William Crowe and Hiranya Jayakody to look for errant asteroids, is a satellite-to-satellite image company which is said to offer this world-first commercial service to the burgeoning space sector. But over the past seven years the company has carved out a niche tackling some of the risks that stem from the space industry's stellar growth. According to Crowe, the CEO of HEO Robotics, the Software as a Service (SaaS) business model has been turning heads among some of the world’s space companies by helping them utilise their satellite downtime while delivering on the broader mission of making space safer for everyone. “We try and partner with as many companies as we can because there is a lot of underutilised infrastructure in space,” Crowe says. “If we can have cameras on that infrastructure and use it, to take images and look after other assets and infrastructure, that’s a good thing and helps make the industry more efficient.” Over the past 50 years, satellites used for commercial, environmental or weather forecasting purposes, or for military surveillance, have largely focused their attention on the Earth’s surface. “There are heaps of cameras in space today that look at the surface to try to understand what is happening,” Crowe says. “What we’re doing at HEO Robotics is turning these cameras around to other spacecraft or space debris and taking photos of them. It’s not quite as easy as looking to the Earth’s surface. Instead of having a stationary object to take a photo of, we have something zipping around at extreme high speeds with a relative velocity of 15km a second sometimes.” HEO Robotics has developed the science to take photos of satellites at these speeds and to interpret what it sees. “We have all the mathematics and precision right to take these photos and really get them to tell a story about the satellite we are looking at, to understand when something is wrong or if everything is right as well,” Crowe says. HEO Robotics partners with space companies in two ways, by either placing its cameras on a third-party satellite or by providing the software that gives a satellite operator the flexibility of having a camera that captures surface images while being able to turn its focus on other satellites in orbit when needed. “Over the ocean, over clouds and over the night-time on Earth, satellites actually don’t do anything, so we use them during those times by turning them around and looking at other things that are whizzing past,” Crowe says. “That’s all done via software and that means the owners of those cameras can get a lot more revenue from their assets.” HEO Robotics was founded by Crowe and Jayakody when they were both undertaking PhDs at the University of Sydney, with Crowe specialising in astrodynamics and Jayakody in robotics. The partners’ original idea for the company was to track asteroids. “But what we found pretty quickly was that there was a larger business looking at all sorts of objects in space,” Crowe says. “It’s an area that didn’t have much attention on it when we set out.” Since then, Crowe says it has been a process of discovery that has revealed several opportunities for the company to explore. “Even the unused time on these spacecraft with cameras was new to us. Finding that out, helping satellite operators improve the software, then training them on where to point their cameras at certain times and providing that revenue has been a whole process that’s proved invaluable.” While the potential of satellites to become space junk is an enduring problem for the space industry, HEO Robotics is aiming to stem the tide. “We prefer to look at live spacecraft, so they don’t turn into junk,” Crowe says. Last year, a significant piece of space junk said to be from a SpaceX launch landed in Dalgety, a rural area of southern NSW near Jindabyne, highlighting the potential risk to people and infrastructure from space junk. “This stuff comes in with a lot of energy and some of the pieces (in the Dalgety incident) jack-knifed into the ground,” Crowe says. “Tracking this junk before it enters the earth’s atmosphere is really important so we can try to predict better where it will land, what sort of damage it can cause and if should we get people out of the way.” While HEO Robotics has partnered with Australian startups, such as Adelaide’s Space Machines Company, the company is heavily focused on international partnerships that have included Japan’s Axelspace and US-Argentinian company Satellogic. The latter two currently have cameras in space and are looking to gain additional utility from them by using the HEO Robotics software. The company is also forging partnerships in South Korea and the US, with further plans to partner with European space enterprises. HEO Robotics currently has close to 50 users across 15 customers using its SaaS platform and while it appears to be a small user base, Crowe notes that it is a high value base per customer. “We actually have a pretty massive customer base compared with other space companies, including our work with the UK, US and Australian governments as well as a handful of private companies,” he says. HEO Robotics’ main product is called HEO Inspect, a SaaS platform that allows users to log in and track their satellites while securing image updates and any other relevant information on the satellite. “If something is going amiss with their satellite, then they’ll know about that,” Crowe says. Surprisingly, HEO Robotics has been able to achieve stellar growth in its business after a single capital raising, a modest seed round totalling US$2 million ($3 million). “To get to the point where we are most companies will have raised $20 million to $30 million, but it’s been a combination of the skill of our team and our customers leaning in that’s allowed us to accelerate past a lot of other companies,” Crowe says. HEO Robotics will need to scale up as its customer base grows and Crowe is confident this can still be done while maintaining an Australian manufacturing base. “Our cameras are manufactured locally in Canberra and Sydney; everything except the microchips are manufactured in Australia,” he says. “A big part of the story for our hardware is that the Australian Government sees building hardware domestically as a core objective. As we begin to scale, that could be part of the story and we’re eager to see what comes out of the government over the next few months.” HEO Robotics sees further growth ahead for its business and for the local space sector generally. It’s an industry that Crowe describes as innately collaborative at a local and international level. “The market is learning from what we do and what we have pioneered,” Crowe says. “The more we put out there, the more customers come to us and start engaging. “There are lots of problems in space and it’s a difficult place to solve them when they occur, so any additional information our customers can get really helps them move their businesses forward.” Get our daily business news Sign up to our free email news updates.

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - The responsibility of aviation operations in Regional Commands South, Southwest, and West was officially passed from Task Force Wings, 25th Combat Aviation Brigade, to Task Force Falcon, 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade Jan. 9, on the flight line of Kandahar Airfield, in southern Afghanistan. Maj. Gen. Robert "Abe" Abrams and Command Sgt. Maj. Edd Watson, the senior commander and command sergeant major in RC-South and the Third Infantry Division, were in attendance along with senior leaders from the Kandahar Air Wing, who have in recent weeks made strides toward Afghan independence through strengthening the partnership with Task Force Falcon. The airfield was a fitting backdrop for the aviation task forces ceremony where aircraft depart daily to support ground forces in an area slightly smaller than the state of Montana. "Today we mark the transition of two of the most unappreciated and overextended formations in our Army during the past decade plus in persistent conflict," said Maj. Gen. Abrams, speaking on the high operation tempo of the combat aviation brigade. Strong words from Maj. Gen. Abrams reinforced Task Force Wings' job well done and welcomed the familiar Dog Face Soldiers deploying from Hunter Army Airfield, Ga. "While I'm sad to see the 25th CAB leave, I'm heartened to know that there are dog face soldiers at the controls and dominating the airspace," said Maj. Gen. Abrams. "Your reputation precedes you. We all know you very, very well." The Task Force Falcon commander, Col. Allan Pepin is familiar with the high standards of the Marne Division and recognizes the key to this mission being Afghan independence. "The Falcon brigade is proud to support Afghan independence and is proud to do so shone pa shone [shoulder by shoulder] with our Afghan partners and the ground forces we support," said Col. Pepin.

By: AirTravellerPH Staff The past year, 2019, was indeed a roller coaster ride for commercial aviation. The crash of Ethiopian Air 737 MAX 8 which lead to the grounding of all 737 MAX aircraft worldwide, the announcement of the end of the A380 line, and the launch of new aircraft like the Airbus A321XLR which really made waves. The same "roller-coaster ride" indeed goes for Philippine commercial aviation which now makes 2020 more interesting. We see more low cost airlines ordering them in the future. A few months after Cebu Pacific placed an order for 16 Airbus A330-900NEO and 10 Airbus A321XLR, AirAsia X followed suit with an order of 12 additional Airbus A330-900NEO and 30 A321XLR. More than added capacity, both can fly longer distances. The A330-900NEO can fly non-stop from Manila to United States West Coast while A321XLR can now fly straight from Kuala Lumpur to Australia. When it comes to packed orange juice, there is one brand that we all grew-up with and that is Zest-O. Who would have ever thought that the famous orange juice will become an airline? Well it did way back in 2008, and that was no less than Zest Air, which had a slogan "Asia's Most Refreshing Airline." It was an airline named after an orange juice drink, with a vibrant orange and green livery. With a pending order of 100 Airbus A330-900NEOs, it is obvious that AirAsia is indeed on expansion mode, and we are not discounting the fact that its subsidiary Philippines Air Asia is on the receiving end of this expansion. Today (August 14, 2019), we got unconfirmed news that AirAsia's long haul low cost subsidiary is also coming to the Philippines, so we ask, how possible is this?

In the late eighties, NASA engineers ended up doing the job to boost program to simulate how air flowed all over cars in flight. But the Space Shuttle posed a distinct problem. At liftoff, the craft was hooked up to a massive external gasoline tank, which in switch carried two stable rocket boosters. Each of these four bodies created airflows, which interacted with each other in advanced techniques. What is additional, as they divided from each other and started going at different speeds, it received even more durable to simulate the air hurrying all over and amongst them.

On Oct. 25, 1999, about 1213 central daylight time (CDT), a Learjet Model 35, N47BA, operated by Sunjet Aviation, Inc., of Sanford, Fla., crashed near Aberdeen, S. Dak. The airplane departed Orlando, Fla., for Dallas, Tex., about 0920 eastern daylight time (EDT). Radio contact with the flight was lost north of Gainesville, Fla., after air traffic control cleared the airplane to flight level 390. Several U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard aircraft intercepted the airplane as it proceeded northwest-bound. The military pilots in a position to observe the accident airplane at close range stated (in interviews or via radio transmissions) that the forward windshields of the Learjet seemed to be frosted or covered with condensation. The military pilots could not see into the cabin. They did not observe any structural anomaly or other unusual condition. The military pilots observed the airplane depart controlled flight and spiral to the ground, impacting an open field. All occupants on board the airplane, the captain, first officer, and four passengers, were killed, and the airplane was destroyed. The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident was incapacitation of the flight crewmembers because of their failure to receive supplemental oxygen following a loss of cabin pressurization, for undetermined reasons. The airplane included an oxygen system that provided emergency oxygen for the flight crew and passengers comprising of a single oxygen bottle, an oxygen bottle pressure regulator with a shutoff valve, an oxygen pressure gauge, an overboard discharge relief valve and indicator, flight crew mask quick disconnect valves, flight crew masks, a manual passenger shutoff valve, an oxygen aneroid valve, an oxygen aneroid bypass shutoff valve, passenger oxygen actuator lanyard valves, and passenger masks. Oxygen was available to the flight crew at all times during the flight when the oxygen bottle pressure regulator shutoff valve is open, as it was at the time of impact. If the pilots had received supplemental oxygen from the airplane's emergency oxygen system, they likely would have properly responded to the depressurization by descending the airplane to a safe altitude. Therefore, it appears that the partial pressure of oxygen in the cabin after the depressurization was insufficient for the flight crew to maintain consciousness and that the flight crewmembers did not receive any, or adequate, supplemental oxygen. What is needed then, is a system, method, and apparatus for supplying a locally oxygen-rich environment during depressurization allowing flight crewmembers sufficient time to respond and to take corrective measures including the donning of an oxygen mask. The present invention comprises a method, a system, and an oxygen delivery boomlet are configured to provide an additional partial pressure of oxygen to an aviator. The boomlet includes a conduit configured to receive an oxygen flow from a positive pressure oxygen source. A nozzle is in communicative connection with the conduit such that the oxygen flow the conduit receives is conducted to the nozzle. The nozzle is configured to direct the conducted flow of oxygen to an interpalatine region of the aviator. The boomlet is optionally configured for attachment to a microphone boom. Alternatively, the conduit is a void the microphone boom defines. The nozzle may optionally be attached to the microphone boom. In accordance with further aspects of the invention, the positive pressure oxygen source includes a regulator. In an embodiment, the regulator includes an on/off valve. In accordance with other aspects of the invention, the regulator is further configured to include a switch, the automated switch being configured to receive positive pressure from a first oxygen source in a first position and from a second oxygen source in a second position. The switch is, optionally, further configured to select the first position based upon the presence of a positive pressure from the first oxygen source or the second position based upon the presence of a positive pressure from the second oxygen source. In accordance with still further aspects of the invention, the nozzle directs the flow to an interpalatine region, that region extending from generally an aviator's nostrils and extending to generally the aviator's mouth. Embodiments of the invention direct the oxygen flow to the nostrils particularly while other embodiments direct the oxygen flow to the interpalatine region generally midway between the nostrils and the mouth. As will be readily appreciated from the foregoing summary, the invention provides a system, method, and apparatus for supplying a locally oxygen-rich environment during depressurization allowing flight crewmembers sufficient time to respond and to take corrective measures including the donning of an oxygen mask. Preferred and alternative embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the following drawings. The present invention comprises a method, a system, and an oxygen delivery boomlet are configured to provide an additional partial pressure of oxygen to an aviator. The boomlet includes a conduit configured to receive an oxygen flow from a positive pressure oxygen source. A nozzle is in communicative connection with the conduit such that the oxygen flow the conduit receives is conducted to the nozzle. The nozzle is configured to direct the conducted flow of oxygen to an interpalatine region of the aviator. The boomlet is configured for attachment to a microphone boom. Extending between the mouth 7 and nostrils 8, an aviator 6 has an interpalatine region 9. The interpalatine region includes the nostrils 8 and the mouth at opposed boundaries. It is advantageous to direct an oxygen flow 17 at this interpalatine region 9 in order to increase the oxygen concentration the aviator 6 is capable of inhaling at times of rapid cabin depressurization. The boomlet 10 is configured to direct oxygen at the interpalatine region 9 by directing the oxygen flow 17 through a nozzle 11, the nozzle 11 being configured to vent oxygen under pressure to generate and direct the oxygen flow 17. The oxygen under pressure is provided the nozzle 11 through a conduit 14 that, itself, is connected both to the nozzle 11 and at an opposed end to an airplane oxygen system. The airplane oxygen system provides emergency oxygen for the aviator 6. Generally oxygen is available to the aviator 6 automatically above 14,000±750 feet cabin altitude or manually (at any cabin altitude) by opening the normally closed oxygen aneroid bypass shutoff valve, which is located on an instrument sidewall (not shown). The boomlet 10 provides the oxygen without requiring the aviator 6 to don a mask. In the course of an unplanned or undetected loss of cabin pressure, the aviator 6 will have a sufficient oxygen flow 17 to make such maneuvers as are necessary to respond to the loss of cabin pressure without having to interrupt the maneuvers to don the mask. By way of nonlimiting example, the boomlet 10 is shown attached to the microphone boom 24 advantageously providing a mounting site for the nozzle 11 allowing the directing of the oxygen flow 17 at the interpalatine region 9. While so attaching the boomlet 10 to the microphone boom 24 is a means of properly positioning the nozzle 11, another embodiment includes the incorporation of the boomlet 10 into the microphone boom 24. A void that the microphone boom 24 defines within its length suitable serves as a portion of the conduit 14 thereby advantageously fixing a spatial relationship between the nozzle 11 and the microphone 21. The spatial relationship is chosen to prevent the oxygen flow from obscuring sounds the microphone is configured to capture. In another embodiment, the nozzle 11 is configured to be a nasal cannula inserted into or in close proximity to the nostrils 8. Advantageously, a nasal cannula nozzle 11 provides further concentration of oxygen in the ambient gasses available to the nostrils 8 of the aviator 6. By way of non-limiting example, the nasal cannula nozzle 11 might optionally include a valve opening the cannula nozzle 11 to the ambient atmosphere when no relative oxygen pressure is supplied by the conduit 14 but closing the cannula to the ambient atmosphere when the conduit 14 supplies oxygen pressure to vent generating an oxygen flow 17 into the nostrils 8. A regulator 40 is provided to step down oxygen pressure to provide a breathable oxygen flow 17. By way of explanation, a typical oxygen bottle 64 has a storage capacity of 38 cubic feet at 1,800 pounds per square inch (psi). Oxygen pressure for the flight crew and passenger distribution systems is reduced to 70 psi via the oxygen bottle pressure regulator/shutoff valve that is mounted directly on the oxygen bottle 64 and is included therein in At the manifold pressure regulator 44 the flows are selectably chosen to give a reliable oxygen flow 17 ( Commercially available regulators include the on/off valve 42, such as the Puritan Bennett™ part number 112145A, having three positions (NORMAL, 100%, and EMERGENCY) and incorporates a dilution aneroid that will progressively shut off the diluter (cabin) port upon rising cabin altitudes, thereby supplying 100 percent oxygen at cabin altitudes above 33,000 feet. When the selector lever is in the EMERGENCY position, the regulator supplies 100 percent oxygen, regardless of altitude, at a positive pressure of approximately 0.15 psi. This regulator will also automatically supply oxygen under positive pressure (approximately 130 liters per minute at 0.5 psi) at cabin altitudes above 39,000 feet, regardless of the regulator-selected mode. In this non-limiting embodiment of the invention, the on/off valve is similarly operative. While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, as noted above, many changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the conduit 14 need not be attached to the microphone boom 24 so long as the nozzle 11 is suitably configured to provide the oxygen flow 17 at the interpalatine region 9. Accordingly, the scope of the invention is not limited by the disclosure of the preferred embodiment. Instead, the invention should be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow. |Cited Patent||Filing date||Publication date||Applicant||Title| |US3910269 *||Mar 11, 1974||Oct 7, 1975||Sierra Eng Co||Integrated helmet and mask structure| |US4660555 *||Nov 15, 1985||Apr 28, 1987||Payton Hugh W||Oxygen delivery and administration system| |US4742824 *||Nov 19, 1986||May 10, 1988||Hugh W.
