The Chinese system is called the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (Beidou means Big Dipper), and now includes 24 satellites. Project director Ran Chengqi said at a press conference in December that the Beidou system should be completed by the first half of 2020 with the launch of two more satellites.
The Beidou program is now in its third phase, the first of which dates back to 2000. Ran said while its current iteration should be complete by June, the system as a whole will likely not be fully operational until 2035. Nonetheless, the progress represents a tremendous achievement in China’s space program.
China joins a club of only three countries that have satellite navigation systems — the other two are the US with GPS, and Russia with its Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS). The breakthrough will relieve China of a political concern that the US could cut off China’s access in the face of developing geopolitical tensions.
It also gives China an immense leg up in developing future technologies dependent on navigation and 5G, such as self-driving cars. A project integrating Beidou navigation with 5G to guide autonomous vehicles is already underway in Wuhan.
China’s satellite system comes after years of notable accomplishments in space. The country last year became the first to land a rover on the far side of the moon. Since its first manned space mission in 2003, China has launched several space station prototypes, and hopes to soon send a rover to Mars.

Police had a few complaints regarding drones being flown in public areas such as Playing Close.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have long crossed over from just being used in the military and specialist commercial sphere. They can now be seen in homes. Remote controlled aircraft used to be a niche hobby. It took time to build them and skill to operate them. Today drones are cheap, quick to get in the air and you can operate them on a Smartphone or tablet. Across the world, rules are being drawn up or refined to deal with the potential dangers. But they are already being flouted.
If you have a drone please be aware of the rules and guidelines set by the Civil Aviation Authority before you take off.

This test-scale system is designed to produce oxygen by solid oxide electrolysis of carbon dioxide found in the Martian atmosphere and allows scientists and engineers to evaluate the implications for larger-scale oxygen production systems for future space missions. Since the beginning of this experiment, MOXIE has successfully completed seven oxygen production cycles, creating oxygen at a rate of 6g/hour which is comparable to a small tree.
Since transporting oxygen to other planets is a challenging task, in situ production will be a critical factor for creating a sustainable habitat for human exploration of space. Playing multiple roles here, oxygen is not only important for providing astronauts with breathable air, but it is also required as propellant to eventually send rockets back to Earth.
With any type of production, measuring its output for quantity and quality control is a significant component. That is where the PyroScience FDO2 oxygen sensor comes in providing robust and reliable long-term oxygen measurements inside MOXIE's solid oxide electrolysis assembly.
We are thrilled that the FDO2 oxygen sensor was selected for this unique experiment and look forward to continuing to support future space exploration endeavors. | aerospace |

The news article said that the accident happened sometime Wednesday afternoon.
Dee Angle died when the plane he was flying crashed for reasons currently under investigation. Authorities said that the plane was seen crashing into Lake Texoma at a 45 degree angle for reasons currently under investigation.
Angle was pronounced dead after the accident.
Officials from the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the National Transportation Safety Board are handling the accident investigation.
Scene of the Accident
While many people may blame pilots for these kinds of accidents, there is always the possibility that the plane was the cause of the accident. Well, if the plane suffered from some kind of catastrophic failure or malfunction before the accident, then the NTSB investigation may uncover it. Unfortunately, due to the NTSB’s massive backlog of cases, it could take them a year, or even a year and a half to find. This can eradicate up to 75% of the time families have to make a claim, should one be necessary after the investigation. To possibly get more answers, faster, surviving family can have their own investigation conducted by people not burdened with thousands of other cases.

We were always in awe of astronauts and their heroic deeds as they ventured out to remote parts of the universe.
Here we are presenting seven Astronaut movies from Hollywood and Bollywood. The list may not be complete, but we hope these films will surely give you an idea of some of the most daring explorations by scientists.
7. Antariksham 9000 KMPH
Antariksham 9000 KMPH belongs to the rare crop of Tollywood flicks that explored space travel. Directed by Sankalp Reddy, this movie narrated a gripping story of an ex-space scientist (Varun Tej), who is brought back to fix an Indian satellite, Mihira which has lost connection from the Space station.
6. The Right Stuff (1883)
This classic Hollywood film narrated the lives of the seven pilots handpicked for the ambitious Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight programme by NASA. Told in wry humour, this rare movie was a combination of mythmaking, adventure, melodrama and some stunning visuals.
Two astronauts (Sandra Bullock & George Clooney) forge a strong bond in space when disaster strikes. The movie is a dare-devil adventure of the duo’s desperate efforts to survive. They have to overcome the challenge of oxygen shortage and venturing into the space for survival.
4. Mission Mangal
This Bollywood movie is a dramatic account of ISRO scientists who have sacrificed personal lives to make India’s Mars Mission a reality. A stellar performance from the cast of Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Taapse, Sonakshi Sinha, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menen ensured that it was received well at BO. But the movie did receive criticisms for taking lot of liberties and highlighting Akshay.
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey
Considered as an all-time classic, this cult movie by Stanley Kubrick still remains an enigma to film buffs. This movie narrates man’s journey to Jupiter in the face an existential crisis and is considered as a classic for its special effects, theme and treatment. For this film, Kubrick bagged an Academy Award for his direction of visual effects.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, it is a futuristic movie on man’s quest to find a new home for humanity. This movie is a testimony of man’s iron will against all odds, as they search for new and hospitable planets. This film bagged Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

Chinese space program
The space program of the People's Republic of China is about the activities in outer space conducted and directed by the People's Republic of China. It involves the capacity to enter and return from space and ability to engage in space exploration, utilization and governance.
The technological roots of the Chinese space program trace back to the 1950s, when, with the help of the newly allied Soviet Union, China began development of its first ballistic missile and rocket programs in response to the perceived American (and, later, Soviet) threats. Driven by the successes of Soviet Sputnik 1 and American Explorer 1 satellite launches in 1957 and 1958 respectively, China would launch its first satellite, Dong Fang Hong 1 in April 1970 aboard a Long March 1 rocket making it the fifth nation to place a satellite in orbit.
After half a century of development, China today has one of the most active space programs in the world. With space launch capability provided by the Long March rocket family and four spaceports (Jiuquan, Taiyuan, Xichang, Wenchang) within it border, China conducts either the highest or the second highest number of orbital launches each year. It operates a satellite fleet consisting of a large number of communications, navigation, remote sensing and scientific research satellites. Its range of activities have expanded from low Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars.
China is also one of the three countries with independent human spaceflight capability.
Currently, most of the space activities by China are managed by the China National Space Administration (CNSA). Major programs include China Manned Space Program, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, Chinese Lunar Exploration Program, Gaofen Observation and Planetary Exploration of China.
In recent years, China has conducted a considerable amount of world-class space missions, including Chang'e-3, Chang'e-4, Chang'e-5, Tianwen-1 and Tiangong Space Station. In the near future, China is steadily pursuing advanced projects like crewed missions to the Moon, space telescope, counterspace capabilities, quantum communications, orbiter and sample-return missions to Mars, and exploration missions throughout the Solar System and deep space.
Mission and principles
According to the white paper China's Space Program: A 2021 Perspective released by the Chinese government in 2022, the mission of China's space program is described as:
• To explore outer space to expand humanity's understanding of the earth and the cosmos;
• To facilitate global consensus on our shared responsibility in utilizing outer space for peaceful purposes and safeguarding its security for the benefit of all humanity;
• To meet the demands of economic, scientific and technological development, national security and social progress;
• To raise the scientific and cultural levels of the Chinese people, protect China's national rights and interests, and build up its overall strength.
The white paper also stated the principles of China's space program to ensure a high-quality space industry, which is subject to and serves the overall national strategy:
• Innovation-driven development
• Coordination and efficiency
• For peaceful purposes
• Cooperation and sharing
Early years (1950s to mid-1970s)
Qian Xuesen, the forefather of Chinese space program
The space program of China began in the form of missile research since the 1950s. After its birth in 1949, the newly founded People's Republic of China were in pursuit of missile technology to build up the nation's defense for the Cold War while most of
Its industry were destroyed or heavily damaged during the decade-long wars. In 1955, Qian Xuesen , the world-class rocketry scientist, returned to China from the United States. In 1956, Qian submitted a proposal for the development of China's missile program, which was approved in just a few months. On October 8, China's first missile research institute, the Fifth Research Academy under the Ministry of National Defense, was established with less than 200 staff, most of which were recruited by Qian. The event was later recognized as the birth of China's space program.
To fully utilize all available resources, China kick-started its missile development by manufacturing a licensed copy of two Soviet R-2 missiles, which were secretly shipped to China in December 1957 as part of the cooperative technology transfer program between the Soviet Union and China.
The Chinese version of the missile was given a code name "1059" with the expectation of being launched in 1959. But the target date was soon postponed due to various technical difficulties.
Meanwhile, China started constructing its first missile test site in the Gobi desert of Inner Mongolia, which later became the famous Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center , China's first spaceport.
After the launch of mankind's first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957, Mao Zedong decided during the National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party on May 17, 1958, to make China an equal with the superpowers (Chinese: "我们也要搞人造卫星"; lit. 'We too need satellites'), by
Adopting Project 581 with the objective of placing a satellite in orbit by 1959 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the PRC's founding.
This goal was soon proven to be unrealistic and later adjusted to the development of sounding rockets first.
Mao Zedong inspecting a T-7M rocket after its successful launch
The first achievement of the program was the launch of T-7M, a sounding rocket that eventually reached the height of 8 km on February 19, 1960. It was the first rocket developed by Chinese engineers.
The success was praised by Mao Zedong as a good beginning of an indigenous Chinese rocket development.
However, due to ideological differences in Marxism, the friendly relationship between the Soviet Union and China soon turned to confrontation. As a consequence, all Soviet technological assistance was abruptly withdrawn after the 1960 Sino-Soviet split, and Chinese scientists continued on the program with extremely limited resources and knowledge.
It was under this harsh condition that China successfully launched the first "missile 1059", fueled by alcohol and liquid oxygen, on December 5, 1960, marking a successful imitation of Soviet missile. The missile 1059 was later renamed as Dongfeng. | aerospace |

Kamran Iqbal and Norman Wood of AMRD are inventors with a wealth of combined practical hands-on experience in the aerospace sector. They are innovating solutions to enable hybrid and all-electric aircraft development for green mass air transportation. AMRD develops hybrid and all-electric powertrains and related technology, suitable for retrofit of existing aircraft and for installation on new aircraft.
AMRD is developing hybrid and all-electric powertrains, to minimise and eliminate aircraft CO2, NOx and noise emissions. AMRD’s research is focused on identifying and protecting innovative and disruptive technologies which would enable the development of hybrid and all-electric aircraft. Examples of their innovations include power management systems, cooling systems, and aircraft propulsion systems having both electric and gas turbine engines.
There is a particular focus in the aerospace industry on using electric batteries to power engines for domestic flight. However, current systems do not currently provide levels of redundancy and cooling necessary for safe operation. AMRD have also focused on the use of stored energy to minimise noise such that the technologies they have developed address all the future emission challenges; gaseous and acoustic.
Many of these innovations have been simulated and can be shown to deliver significant fuel savings, noise reductions, enhanced utilisation and other performance improvements when compared against an existing, successful regional aircraft like the ATR72.
The result is a regional aircraft that will provide benefit to the environment, the operator, the manufacturer and the passenger.
The growth in air transport continues unabated. Historically traffic has almost doubled every 15 years or so (predicted to be four times greater by 2050 compared with 2020) and the Industry is predicting and planning for that trend to continue for the foreseeable future. Alongside this is a growing awareness that air travel is having a significant impact on the environment. This is reflected in the EU Flightpath 2050 targets; a 75 percent reduction in CO2 emissions per passenger kilometre, a 90 percent reduction in NOx emissions and a 65 percent reduction in perceived noise.
While the sector has made substantial progress over the last 50 years in addressing some of these factors, the pace of improvement is slowing as opportunities to do so on existing aircraft diminish and we remain a long way from reversing the impact on the environment. Recent figures published by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) UK, suggest that the aviation sector will remain one of the main contributors to carbon production. Hence a paradigm shift to electric propulsion needs to be embraced now, and wholeheartedly.
To decarbonise the aviation sector by 2050, an objective set by the UK Government, AMRD has been focussing on developing differentiating and disruptive technologies that will enable the design and manufacture of hybrid and all-electric aircraft for green mass air transportation.Kamran Iqbal
The paradigm shift in aviation enabled by electric propulsion has been recognised by AMRD as an open and fertile arena for innovation and opportunity.Norman Wood
To date, AMRD has filed 25+ patent applications with the UK Intellectual Property Office from 2018-2020. AMRD is looking to apply for international protection via the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). The PCT provides a cost-effective and efficient procedure for seeking protection at national patent offices in many major markets.
Protecting the innovation of a small research team is important to obtain a foothold in a well-funded, highly competitive and well-resourced sector.
Moreover, AMRD appreciate that a patent portfolio is a useful tool in securing investments - critical in the early years of a start-up business. Appleyard Lees is proud to support AMRD with an award from our Growth Fund.
AMRD’s work with Appleyard Lees, enabled them to not only establish robust protection of their inventions, but to also expand their concepts to ensure future value as the contributing technologies and integrated products evolve. AMRD established a strong synergy working with Appleyard Lees which has enhanced the value of their intellectual property (IP).
The limited range and small capacity of proposed electric or hybrid-electric aircraft make it difficult for an airline to deploy them in profitable ways. By focussing on the key technical and integration challenges facing a larger aircraft, AMRD shows it is possible to launch regional aircraft with greater capacity and range.
“The key question remains ‘why doesn’t someone do this?’”, Kamran Iqbal commented. “There must be an organization with a desire to make a difference, who has the support of its shareholders and a Government that sees the value of the technology”. | aerospace |

The athletes aren’t just flying wing suits. The revolution is racing: Wingsuit 4 cross!
To race well, you’ve got to train. But how do you start training for a race when there’s never been one like that before?
That was the dilemma facing some of the best wingsuit pilots in the world at the first Red Bull Aces 4 Cross event. Given the event’s inaugural status, director Luke Aikins very smartly scheduled a training day before competition actually began, to give the pilots the chance to get a feel for going around the course.
Daring wingsuit flyers compete in this first-ever competition
52 of the world’s top wingsuit flyers descended on Oakdale, California, two hours east of San Francisco, for Red Bull Aces, the first-ever side-by-side wingsuit racing event.
Created by Red Bull Air Force pilot Luke Aikins, Red Bull Aces was split into a series of elimination heats of four wingsuit flyers, who were transported by plane up to 8,000 feet. From there, they jumped and flew through four gates, staggered at thousand-foot intervals between 6,500-3,500 feet.
Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before. With the best action sports clips on the web and YouTube exclusive series, prepare for your “stoke factor” to be at an all time high.
World’s Highest BASE Jump – Flying from Mt. Everest. Nearly 60 years to the day after the first ascent up Mount Everest, Russian extreme sport star Valery Rozov (48) flew off the north face of Mount Everest – the world’s highest BASE jump ever – 7220 meters (23,688ft) above sea level.
The ascent began on the Chinese side on the famous north route. It took him four days to climb from the base camp to the jumping location. At precisely 2:30 p.m. local time he leaped despite adverse weather conditions with temperatures -18 Celsius.
Because the cliff at the top was not very high, the initial moments of the leap in the rarified high altitude air were the most critical phase. Rozov needed more time than usual in the thin air to transition from freefall to flying. After that he flew for nearly a full minute at speeds of about 200 km/h (125 mph) along the north face before he landed safely on the Rongbuk glacier – at an altitude of 5,950 meters.
“Only when I got back home did I see how hard it was for me both physically and psychologically,” said Rozov after getting home to Moscow. “When you look at the videos you realize that it took a lot longer than usual to get from falling to flying.” | aerospace |

July 18, 2018
A teacher's childhood dream became a reality this summer when she attended space camp.
Kathy Stanton, a Green River Science, Technology, Engineering and Math teacher, recently attended the Honeywell Educators at Space Academy, which took place in Huntsville, Ala., at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
Stanton said she found out about the camp through her Edmodo account. Edmodo.com is a way for teachers to stay connected with their students and parents. It helps students get and stay organized and it's a way for them to access their assignments and grades.
It was through a post on Edmodo that Stanton learned Honeywell was accepting applications for its weeklong HESA program.
"I've always wanted to go to space camp, so I applied for it," Stanton said.
She said she grew up watching space shows and movies like "SpaceCamp."
Stanton was one of the 200 worldwide who were accepted for the HESA program, which was completely paid for through scholarships.
"When we got there I didn't realize how competitive it was," she said.
Once everyone in the camp were in a room, they were told for every one of them in the room, three who applied didn't make it and are sitting at home.
"It's kind of a big deal," she said.
According to Honeywell's website, while at the camp, teachers completed 45 hours of classes and labs, participated in simulated astronaut training and activities focused on space science and exploration and learned techniques to promote lifelong learning.
"They want to inspire teachers to inspire students," Stanton said.
She enjoyed the Multi-Axis Trainer, which simulates the disorientation one would feel in a tumble spin during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
"I've always wanted to do that," she said.
Another position Stanton got to try was CAPCOM, which is a capsule communicator at mission control. During her role as CAPCOM, Stanton was responsible for all communications between the shuttle and mission control. She also participated in a simulated mission to Mars on the Orion Spacecraft. They had to land on the surface of Mars, explore it and return back.
That's not all Stanton enjoyed.
"I met so many people from all over the world," she said.
Stanton said her 15-member team was comprised of people from nine different countries. The team was tasked with designing a patch and was given the team name Kibo, a Japanese module on the International Space Station. Kibo means hope, so the word hope is written around the border of the patch in each language represented on the team. The stars in the sky represent the team's students, and their future exploration plans on Mars
"These friendships we made will be around forever," she said.
Most of them exchanged Facebook information so they could keep in touch.
"It was amazing. I want to go back," she said.
Stanton said she would recommend this program to other teachers, because it is so inspirational and eye opening.
She never knew NASA needed graphic designers and communication specialists, not just pilots and engineers.
"That's my big take away. NASA need all kinds of people," she said.
She said that's what she wants to take back to the classes she's going to teach. She wants them to know there are other careers in NASA than being an astronaut.
"The kids that I'm teaching now, that's the generation that's going to Mars," she said. | aerospace |

As private pilots, we at PlaneEnglish know the struggle many students face trying to learn how to master radio communications. It’s one of the most important aspects of flight training. Yet it often gets the least attention.
Learning communication in the air and repeating phrases given by an instructor, doesn’t build confidence. And it can overwhelm a student focused on a hundred other things (like flying the airplane). More importantly, rote memorization doesn’t teach you how to respond quickly, and confidently, to the rapidly changing situations you may find yourself in while flying.
There are other resources that broadcast airport frequencies and explain aviation communication. But people learn best by practicing, in real time, under myriad circumstances: on the ground, approach, or departure; at different airports; and with variable weather and pattern traffic. We created ARSim Aviation Radio Simulator to help pilots master the aviation radio outside of the cockpit and the classroom. For about the price of 5 minutes of flight time, ARSim provides students with superior, engaging, real-world comms training that can be completed at their own pace or as part of a formal ground school curriculum. | aerospace |

Flight attendants' most important job function is to serve as first responders who are trained to handle inflight emergencies, passenger disruptions and terrorism. Simply put, Americans cannot afford for flight attendants to be exhausted on the job.
The AFA supports HR 3824, which would establish an Aviation Rule Making Committee and issue a final rulemaking to address flight attendant fatigue.

APFA and members of the Coalition of Flight Attendant Unions are proud to announce Congresswoman Mazie Hirono’s Airline First Responder Workplace Fairness Act (HR 3824). Today, Ms. Hirono introduced legislation that promotes fairness and safety for flight attendants. APFA President Laura Glading said, "This is legislation APFA leadership has been pushing for and helping to draft for some time, and its introduction in the House represents a major victory over management on the subject of Flight Attendant fatigue. This is significant legislation because it continues to recognize the incredibly important role we play on board the aircraft as first responders. Congresswoman Hirono’s bill is a testament to APFA’s efforts on Capitol Hill and our active participation in the Coalition.” | aerospace |

creator and author of the 'The REAL Space Cowboys'
Ed Buckbee has been associated with America’s space program for four decades. As a NASA public affairs officer during the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, he was a spokesman for the early astronauts and the Apollo moonwalkers. He was at Cape Canaveral for Alan Shepard and John Glenn’s early flights and was present for all of the moon shots. He will tell you why seven military test pilots became the first Mercury astronauts and describe the fierce competition among them for the first rides into space. He will talk about the extreme training they experienced and behind the scenes pranks and gotchas they played on each other.
Buckbee will take you to the moon with America’s moon walkers and tell you of the close calls and humorous happenings. He will describe the incredible machines flown by the astronauts, designed and built by NASA and America’s space industry and he will do this with exciting photos and video clips few of us have seen.
He’s a TV documentary producer and author of several books and the founder of the highly successful U.S. Space Camp program for aspiring young astronauts. He along with the Mercury astronauts established the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.
Buckbee has appeared on CNN, Late Night with David Letterman, Good Morning America and the Today Show. He serves as Omega’s moderator for astronaut appearances and space celebrations.

Our Teaching Methodology Course for Aviation English Teachers provides vital training for English language teachers by using the latest methodology for teaching Aviation English in the context of ICAO standards, along with personal aviation language development which results from working with experienced aviation English trainers.
The objective of the training is to develop the course participants’ knowledge of Aviation English and English Language teaching skills within an aviation context, including a practical review of current methodology and classroom practice. Although an aviation background is an advantage, the course is designed to enable English language teachers who have little or no prior knowledge of aviation to teach Aviation English to Aviation Personnel. As all lessons have an aviation context, every part of the course contributes towards expanding the trainees’ Aviation English knowledge.
| Course number:
| Lessons per week (45 minutes):
| Minimum age:

The TAE pre-course tasks aim to provide an appropriate foundation for course participants.
Aviation English teaching methodology:
The following areas will normally be covered:
• Course design and lesson planning
• Phonology – issues of international comprehensibility
• Developing listening skills – gist, specific information and inference
• Targeting the ICAO language descriptors in the classroom
• Assessing a trainee’s level regarding the ICAO Language Proficiency Rating Scale
• Language transitions – from standard phraseology to plain English
• Sourcing, creating and exploiting authentic and published teaching materials
• Adapting video and audio materials for comprehension and language skills development
An overview of aviation operations and lexis development:
• Aircraft structures and systems
• Aircraft and air traffic control operations
• The phases of flight
• Aviation personnel and their communicative responsibilities
• ATC organisation and control of airspace
• ICAO standard phraseology and procedures
• Routine and non-routine situations
There will be an initial group needs analysis at the beginning of each course. Sessions will be planned accordingly, also taking into account participants’ methodological awareness and aviation background.
Trainees have guided private study sessions. Tasks set may include pre-session preparation, follow-up work and research assignments. We also recommend that some time should be devoted to additional study in the Multi-Media Learning Centre. An extensive selection of computer programs, audio, DVD and reference material is available for private use. | aerospace |

Along with basics involving your finances, these include details involving the aircraft and the loan itself. Let’s look.
Aviation Lenders Tips in Miami, FL
- Your income, credit history, and financial details. Firstly, whether you are applying for a personal or commercial aviation loan, lenders are going to want to be sure that you are not going to be a risky customer. Therefore, you can expect them to look at your debt-to-income ratio, your credit score and history, and any other factors which could affect your ability to pay back your loan.
- The aircraft or parts you are interested in financing. Next, aviation lenders are going to be interested in knowing what type of aircraft or components you plan to use your loan to purchase or repair. Older aircraft are significantly harder to finance that newer aircraft. The rate at which an airplane depreciates is also a significant factor. Those which depreciate rapidly require shorter loan terms and higher down payments. Finally, the condition of the engine and avionics are particularly important when you are applying for financing. Avionics are expected to be up-to-date. Being as they depreciate within just several years, that means they must be very current.
- The minimum amount of the loan you need. Aviation loan amounts are generally in the range of $50,000 and above. It is possible to get a smaller loan for an aircraft, but usually the terms will be less favorable, and you will pay more in terms of interest. Getting financing for parts of course can entail a significantly smaller loan without those drawbacks.
- The down payment you can make. Usually, lenders will expect you to be able to put 15% to 20% down on an aviation loan. If your credit score is high, there is a chance that you could pay as little as 10% down. But you cannot expect to pay less than that. If you specifically want a longer term for your loan, one way to get it is to put down a higher down payment.
- The condition of the plane or parts. To some degree, we have already covered this factor. But it bears emphasizing that this is very important when it comes to both approval and loan features. Be prepared to do more than simply talk about the condition of the aircraft. You will want to provide thorough documentation on the plane’s history, including information on any damage it has been subjected to, as well as what kind of maintenance and repair work it has received. You should be able to get these documents directly from the seller. If for whatever reason you cannot, you may want to think about buying a different aircraft instead. A lender would rightly consider the purchase of risky one, and you should as well.
- How you will use the aircraft or components. Finally, the way in which you will use the plane or parts that you wish to purchase is also relevant to your lender. It’s important to be aware that commercial aircraft depreciate much faster than those which are just for personal use. That is going to have an impact on your loan term. Airplanes purchased for a flight school will depreciate especially rapidly since the students who are using them may subject them to more hard use than experienced pilots would.

Were you glued to sci-fi books and movies as a kid? If yes, read on. There’s a huge project underway to build a Human Colony on Mars. And interestingly, you can now be a part of it thanks to Mars One.
About the Mars One project
Mars One is the company that will give you an opportunity to live on Mars. The Mars One project involves sending four people to Mars every two years. Now, these are not astronauts or space-pilots, but regular people like you and me. This is a great opportunity for people who want to be a part of a new era. Bas Lansdorp launched Mars One in 2012. He has an impressive team, well-known advisers and strong suppliers. Here is a cool promotional video.
The journey from Earth to Mars will take 7 months. The travel through space will be a great experience where you can view the stars, planets and asteroids with naked eyes. And finally, walking on Mars, an even better experience!

The catch? It is a one-way ticket. You go to Mars, never to return.

Here’s the roadmap for the Mars One project:
2013 – Accepting applications for going to Mars.
2014 – Building the first communication satellite.
2015 – Astronaut selection process will be completed.
2016 – A supply mission that will carry 2,500 kilograms of supplies to Mars.
2018 – A space exploration vehicle will be sent to Mars to pick a location for settlement.
2021 – Six capsules and another Rover will be sent to Mars. This will include two living units, two life-support units and two supply units.
2023 – History will be created! The first colonists will arrive on Mars.
2025 – A second group will be sent.
2033 – The number of colonists will reach 20.
The coolest feature of the Mars One project is that everything will be done using currently available technology. This means, no traveling at the Speed of Light like you read in science-fiction books. The Mars One project will only use technology of today that is reliable and tested.

Why do we need to explore other planets?
Hundreds of explorers weathered deadly storms to discover new continents. Consider the Mars One project to be another exploration – but this time, in the solar system rather than on Earth. We could discover new ways to live and learn so much about living outside Earth.

Aren’t there other planets that can support life better than Mars?
Astronomers have been trying their best to find a Goldilocks planet where life can be sustained. A Goldilocks planet is a planet that is neither too far or too near to its Sun. If it was too far from the Sun, it would be too cold and being too near would make it too hot to sustain water and any other life on its surface. Most of the planets we have found are so far away, that it is impossible to go there with the current technology. Take Gliese 581 d for example, which is a Goldilocks planet that was discovered recently. Gliese 581 d is 20 light-years from Earth. This means it would take us 20 years to reach there if we were able to travel at the speed of light! Since traveling at the speed of light is not going to happen anytime soon, I don’t think Gliese 581 d is an option for now.

This, by far, is the most important question and has many interesting answers:
- Water – Mars has underground ice deposits and frozen polar ice caps that show an abundance of water. If we were to melt the polar ice caps on Mars, there would be enough water to cover the entire planet upto a depth of 11 meters. Now, that’s a lot of water! Water is the most important medium for life to grow. If not for water, we would not exist today.
- Gravity – The gravitational force on Mars is 38% that on Earth. Unlike the Moon that has 1/6th of Earth’s surface gravity, Mars has enough gravity to hold down atmosphere, which is essential for life. The atmosphere also protects from solar radiation.
- Temperature – The high temperature on equatorial Mars is around 35 degree centigrade. This is very comfortable and very Earth-like.
- Mars Day = Earth day – Mars takes 24.622 hours to rotate on its own axis. This means that the day-night cycles on Mars are same as that on the Earth. It would be very easy for Earthlings to adapt to a Mars day.
- Seasons – Mars has the same seasons as that on Earth. Although, the seasons on Mars are twice as longer since Mars takes 1 Earth year and 320 Earth days (685 Earth days or 1.8 Earth years) to orbit the sun.
- Soil – The soil on Mars is conducive for the growth of plants. The soil contains Magnesium, Sodium, and Potassium that are useful for plants.
- Atmosphere – Mars has a sparse and hospitable atmosphere. 95% of the atmosphere in Mars is CO2. Plants need CO2 to breathe and we could take seeds or plants to Mars where they could grow.

What are the challenges?
After having talked about the advantages of mars here are a few disadvantages that create huge challenges:
- Gravity – Since Mars has only 38 % of the surface gravity of the Earth, our bodies (especially bones) will get used to the lower gravity. Even if we wanted to return to Earth in the future, our bones would have weakened by adapting to the lower gravity on Mars. Our bones would be strong enough for Mars, but returning to Earth will just crush them due to the higher gravity. Although there has been enough research and treatment is available for astronauts living in zero gravity, our bones would develop a condition called osteoporosis (bones become porous). That’s why the colonists can never return to Earth even if they wanted to.
- Atmosphere – With 95% carbon-di-oxide in its sparse atmosphere there would be no option but to wear spacesuits. We can build greenhouses to grow plants that would convert CO2 to O2, but this is really challenging. After all, we would need a good stock of oxygen to tide us over until we are able to generate oxygen on Mars.
- Medical Services – We are on our own if we fall seriously ill. Mars One does plan for basic treatments. However, it would not be possible to provide the advanced treatment available on Earth today (for example a complicated surgery).
- Natural Calamities – Since Mars is unchartered territory, Mars quakes (Earthquakes, but on Mars!), or dust storms might damage the settlements. We are in no way ready for this such natural calamities.

How would the settlement communicate with their families on Earth?
Mars One will provide Internet access. That said, communication with Earth is particularly challenging. Mars is at a distance of 55 million kilometers (shortest) and 400 million kilometers (farthest) from the Earth depending on the orbital location.
The Earth and her Moon. Photo by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter: Courtesy NASA/JPL/University of Arizona
Therefore, it would take the signal anywhere between 3 to 20 minutes to reach the Earth. You could send e-mails or use video messages, but you’d have to wait 3 to 20 minutes for your message to reach there and an equal amount of time before you hear back. There goes your Skype party.

How would Mars One fund the project?
The entire project from launch to settlement would be broadcasted to generate subscription and advertising revenue. As a business model, this is quite challenging. There must be a steady stream of revenue forever so we can constantly send supplies to our colony on Mars. Shutting down the company after sending humans to Mars is not an option. This, in my opinion is the most challenging because as a business, failure is not an option!

How can I help?
There are many ways you can help this amazing project:
- Apply to move to Mars – they are still accepting applications. Thousands of people have already applied.
- Promote the project – promote the project on your blog, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or any other social media space.
- Buy merchandise – this helps cover administrative costs.

Mars has the potential to be our new home. If the Mars One project is successful, there is no limit to the extent of space colonization. Thousands of people could migrate to Mars and live a great life there.
And you could be one of them.

If the new bill becomes law, up to 30,000 drones could by flying in U.S. airspace by decade’s end. The Senate passed the bill by a 75-20 margin. Civil liberties groups have spoken out on the measure, stating the new legislation offers no restrictions on drone surveillance operations by police and federal agencies and could put us on track toward a “surveillance society.” As drone technology rapidly advances, America’s law enforcement community is eager to use these robotic machines in their daily operations, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) notes
Unfortunately, nothing in the bill would address the very serious privacy issues raised by drone aircraft. This bill would push the nation willy-nilly toward an era of aerial surveillance without any steps to protect the traditional privacy that Americans have always enjoyed and expected.Details in the new drone bill are extensive.

Astronaut Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilotNASA
50 years ago on the 20th July 1969, the Apollo 11 module made "Moon-fall" for the first time in human history. This was one of the greatest achievements of our species and is rightfully still celebrated today.
In a special edition of Science, their news department and Editor-in-Chief, Jeremy Berg, celebrate the semicentennial anniversary of the landing, its scientific impact and explore the potential future of lunar exploration.
RELATED: THE "APOLLO 11" DOCUMENTARY IS A METICULOUS RECONSTRUCTION OF LUNAR FOOTAGE
The Apollo 11 mission was ground-breaking
The special Science issue highlights the great discoveries and contributions the program made to planetary science. In particular, it discusses the important insights made possible through the study of returned lunar rock samples.
In contrast to Earth, the lunar surface experiences little, if any, geological activity. The constant recycling of materials on Earth has effectively scrubbed away most of the information of our planet's earliest days.
The Moon, on the other hand, has seen very little change over time providing exquisite preservation of material from the Solar System's formative years over 4 Billion years ago.
Before the Apollo mission, it was widely believed that planets formed cold and were the result of the gentle accumulation of asteroid-sized debris. But, thanks to retrieved samples from the Moon, the formation of objects, like the Moon, appears to be a much more dynamic process.
It is also far more violent than previously believed, characterized by high energy impacts and global-scale melting of rocks and minerals.
A gift that will keep on giving
Study of lunar rocks has also allowed scientists to develop a chronological record of cratering on its surface. This reconstructed record now forms the foundation for the age estimates of other planetary surfaces throughout the inner Solar System.
One contributor to the review, Richard Carlson, also suggests that the lunar samples that were brought to Earth half-century ago will continue to provide new insights into the formation and geology of other worlds.
The present and future of lunar exploration
The special issue also looks at other lunar exploration missions by other nations, like China. Specifically, a Policy Forum by Chunlai Li and colleagues explores some of the other more recent lunar missions.
For example, in early 2019, the China Lunar Exploration Program’s (CLEP) Chang’E-4 lander and Yutu-2 rover landed on the far side of the Moon. Chunlai and their team discuss China’s lunar exploration program and its goal of understanding the Moon through advances in space technology and international collaboration.
They note that the CLEP project is still in its infancy, but it has built a strong foundation for subsequent lunar exploration.
According to the authors, future missions are being developed to fly in the next decade and CLEP will develop its capabilities for both robotic and human exploration of the Moon’s surface.
The review was originally published in a special edition of Science. | aerospace |

Watch an animated journey of spaceflight with Blue Origin Interested in flying? Precision Built and Tested The New Shepard capsule and booster are being designed and tested to exceptionally high standards, in a process that is both rigorous and disciplined. Our manufacturing and assembly technicians have years of experience in aircraft and spacecraft manufacturing.
The elements of the New Shepard system are being tested extensively, both on the ground and during uncrewed test flights. From vibration tables and thermal chambers to hundreds of engine firings, these tests stress the vehicles and all of their subsystems.
Our flight test program continues to build experience with the New Shepard system in an uncrewed configuration, leading up to the day when we are ready for astronauts to climb on board for launch.
The system consists of a pressurized capsule atop a booster. The combined vehicles launch vertically, accelerating for approximately two and a half minutes, before the engine cuts off.
The capsule then separates from the booster to coast quietly into space.
After a few minutes of free fall, the booster performs an autonomously controlled rocket-powered vertical landing, The six dimensions of culture the capsule lands softly under parachutes, both ready to be used again.
Reusability allows us to fly the system again and again. It seats six astronauts and is large enough for you to float freely and turn weightless somersaults.
Accelerating at more than 3 Gs to faster than Mach 3, you will count yourself as one of the few who have gone these speeds and crossed into space.
Weightlessness As the main engine cuts off, your capsule will separate from its booster and perfect stillness will surround you. Weightlessness inside capsule Unparalleled views with the largest windows in space Our New Shepard capsule features the largest windows in spaceflight history. These windows make up a third of the capsule, immersing you in the vastness of space and life-changing views of our blue planet.
Each window is made of multiple layers of fracture-tough transparencies, designed to provide crystal clarity of the incredible views before you. A classic parachute landing The crew capsule descends under parachutes for a smooth landing, in the same way as the earliest space pioneers.
Three independent parachutes provide redundancy, while a retro-thrust system further cushions your landing. Ring fin and wedge fins As the rocket reenters the atmosphere, air flows through a ring at the top of the booster, passively moving the center of pressure to help control descent.
Four wedge-shaped fins also deploy to further enhance aerodynamic stability. BE-3 engine In addition to powering the New Shepard system to space withlbs. Learn more about the BE-3 Aft fins Fins near the base of the booster pivot to stabilize the vehicle during ascent and steer it back to the landing pad on descent.
Hydraulic actuators provide enough force to drive these fins through airspeeds up to Mach 4. Vertical landing booster The vertical takeoff, vertical landing VTVL booster will add something truly modern — after separating from the capsule, the booster will return to Earth.
Deploying landing gear, the rocket will make a precise touchdown, enabling reusability. Full-envelope escape From the time astronauts are secured in their seats until the capsule separates from the booster near apogee, escape is an option if needed.
The New Shepard escape system is built around a solid rocket motor that provides 70, lbs. Want to know when you can buy tickets? Astronaut Timeline T-2 days: The active and fun day-long session will help you feel comfortable and prepared for spaceflight and your responsibilities as an astronaut.
Training includes mission and vehicle overviews, in-depth safety briefings, mission simulation and instruction on your in-flight activities such as operational procedures, communications and maneuvering in a weightless environment.
The Main Event — Spaceflight The combined capsule and booster will launch vertically from the launchpad. As the sky fades to black and you coast into space, a perfect silence will surround you. Before descent, a signal will direct you to return to your seat and strap in.
Beyond Your Flight Your journey is hardly over at landing. You can share these with friends and family for a lifetime. Make history with a suborbital flight, and you will receive early access to purchase tickets for our future orbital missions. Our frequent flight schedule will allow you to launch your experiment multiple times to iterate on findings, improve statistics, or rapidly collect data.

His most notable work has been in developing cultural dimensions theory. In this article, we'll explore how you can use Hofstede's Six Dimensions of Culture to work effectively with people from a range of cultural and geographic backgrounds.
The Institute of Medicine report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, examines the immense divide between what we know to be good health care and the health care that people actually receive. It outlines six specific "Aims for Improvement".
Jun 29, · Professor Geert Hofstede and his research team studied culture-specific values and created what is known as the 6 Dimensions of National Culture, or the 6-D Model of National Culture. The position of an organization on these dimensions is partly determined by the business or industry the organization is in.
Scores on the dimensions are also related to a number of other "hard" characteristics of the organizations. The Mosaic Principle: The Six Dimensions of a Remarkable Life and Career [Nick Lovegrove, Nick Sullivan] on timberdesignmag.com *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers.

Broome Senior High School Year 11 student Jettson Brown has been on a work placement at CHC Helicopter’s operations at the Broome International Airport once a week since early June. Jettson came across CHC through the Work Inspirations program hosted by the school and supported by Shell Australia. Andy Chapman, our Educational and Vocational Training Coordinator, worked with CHC to establish the program.
“This is a breakthrough for Broome Senior High School to have a student involved with CHC and the expanding helicopter operations at Broome International Airport. We are definitely supportive and it is part of our efforts to engage with the oil and gas industry and their sub-contractors,” said Mr Chapman.
David Irvine, CHC’s Broome Base Manager said, “Jettson has spent time with every aspect of the operation in order to have a good overview and understanding of how everything comes together to have the end result of the helicopters flying approximately 500 km offshore daily. He has spent time with the operations officers, being the hub of the base, the ramp staff, engineering, stores and the pilot group. Although there is a lot to take in, Jettson has remained enthusiastic to learn although clearly his main interest is in the flying side, which is great as the world needs more pilots”.
“I think it has given Jettson an appreciation of the work required behind the scenes to keep the helicopters flying, taking into account CHC has approximately 70 full time staff rotating through the base on any given month. Jettson will be spending some more of his summer holiday time at CHC working with the Flight team to understand flight planning and development pathway to become a pilot”.
“It has been great to have Jettson with us each week. It is so important for CHC to ensure that students have an opportunity to understand the aviation industry and consider it as a potential future career”. | aerospace |

The UKs leading line marking and road marking specialist has prepared the hangar which will house the world famous Concorde aircraft to recreate runway and taxi-way markings on the hangar floor. Concorde G-BOAC, pride of the British Airways supersonic fleet, is now safely housed in her new hangar at Manchester Airports Aviation Viewing Park, with an authentic floor marking prepared by Nottinghamshire based Riggotts.
Protected from the elements, Concorde will be admired by thousands of fans and the floor markings form an integral part of the exhibition experience, helping to bring the golden age of aviation to life once more. Riggotts Operations Director, Darren Riggott, said: It is fantastic to think that our line marking forms part of such a prestigious exhibition to showcase the worlds most famous airliner.

guidelines for aircraft which fly visually, they are called Visual Flight Rules
or VFR and the guidelines are called
VFRG. These guidelines take into
consideration important safety and environmental considerations for aircraft
leaving and approaching any airport.
highlighting the importance of VFR guidelines CASA (the Civil Aviation Safety
Authority) has reminded pilots that 50% of fatal accidents are associated with
poor route planning.
principles is international best practice – except it seems at Moorabbin
Airport where not only aren't these rules taken seriously but there are different
interpretations of them.
A recent VFR
study was commission by a local resident out of frustration over the refusal of
CASA and AirServices Australia to take seriously his complaints about VFR
activity near the coast. AirServices
Australia refused access to flight information under a freedom of information
request so the study utilised Webtrak data and analysed 70,000 flight records over
a continuous nine week period for aircraft approaching from the south of the
- Less than a quarter of aircraft comply
with the Melbourne Basin VFR guidelines for the area south of Moorabbin aerodrome
- There are consistent and heavily utilised routes which are not consistent with VFR tracking
- Examples of dangerous
flying exist e.g. helicopters heading from the airport to the coast directly into the predominant
tracking of planes which are returning to the airport.
- 6 out of 10 aircraft leaving
the airport do not follow CASA’s Fly Neighbourly Advice (ref 1)
reason Moorabbin is an airport where VFR is not compulsory even though it is one
of the busiest airports in the southern hemisphere. AirServices Australia has exploited the
apparent free for all by making irresponsible comments about aircraft being
able to fly wherever they want. The lack of imposed VFR has resulted in AirServices Australia allowing other predominant patterns
of aircraft tracking which are not VFR. In other words the safety and environmental
principles contained in VFR are being lost, exposing the community and pilots
to potential safety issues. The
community cops further environmental imposition by not having certainty about
patterns of aircraft activity. Not
good start when you are trying to decide where to buy a home and raise
a family and hoping for some measure of insight into the amenity and
safety impacts of the unreasonable level of aviation over a number of
suburbs in Melbourne's south and south east. The big
unanswered question is why wouldn't a peak
aviation body encourage VFR at Moorabbin even if it is not compulsory?
the peak bodies CASA and AirServices Australia do tout the
importance of VFR and try to convince the community that VFR has not been
abandoned at Moorabbin. There are even
VFR charts for Moorabbin. These charts
have tracking lines which aircraft are supposed to take note of when they plan
their flight route. Paradoxically it
seems these aircraft are being directed away from the tracking lines by
Moorabbin Air Traffic Control (ATC) which has control of the airspace within 5
nautical miles of the airport.
is the existence of different versions of the VFR tracking charts for Moorabbin. The most comprehensive guidelines were
published by CASA in 2010 shortly after a report (ref 2) announced that the Moorabbin
Airport posed an intolerable societal risk for residents. That publication is called the Melbourne
Basin Visual Pilot Guide (ref 3). Since then
CASA has launched a website called OnTrack (ref 4) which shows inconsistent VFR information for Moorabbin. CASA also sells a hardcopy VFR publication in
which the VFR tracking lines are non-existent (ref 5).
Meanwhile AirServices Australia provides pilots with an Aeronautical
Information Package (AIP) (ref 6) with VFR tracking information which is different
come to expect the commerce of aviation (and property developers running airports)
to demand unprecedented freedom but surely something a fundamental as VFR
should be taken more seriously? It seems
to be just another example of the unethical nature of the Moorabbin Airport farce and
its unconscionable impact on the community.
The resident made three attempts to contact AirServices Australia about the results of the study but did not receive a reply.

Officials offered no explanation Monday as to why the aircraft may have run out of fuel.
Charles Brian Mellor, 65, of Spain, was an experienced airman, licensed in the U.S. as an instructor and commercial pilot, according to FAA records.
Monterey Regional Airport Operations Manager Ken Griggs said Mellor purchased 151.8 gallons of fuel at the airport before departing for Hawaii on Friday morning.
Online flight records show the 33-year-old craft had flown from South Carolina to Arkansas on Sept. 11, but no records show when it arrived in California.
Mellor had flown it from Tracy to Monterey on Oct. 4, and filed a plan for a trip from Oakland to Hawaii the next day, but the flight was canceled.
Griggs said Mellor had to postpone because of bad weather, but Thursday afternoon, he again flew from Tracy to Monterey, finally setting out for Hawaii from Monterey on Friday morning.
Flight records show Mellor took off almost two hours later than planned.
After 11½ hours over the Pacific, Mellor radioed authorities to say he was running low on fuel about 500 miles from Hilo, the Coast Guard said.
The Guard dispatched a plane, ship and helicopter to help Mellor with an emergency landing, Lt. Gene Maestas told The Associated Press.
The water landing was documented in a dramatic video.
The Guard's HC-130 Hercules flew alongside Mellor for more than an hour until the Cessna's fuel gave out and it went down 13 miles off Hawaii.
"We were communicating to him the entire time," Maestas said. "The pilots were telling him how to make the airplane ready ... to lighten, tie things down, adjust the seat."
Mellor was urged to go in at a low angle to the water and touch down parallel to the waves — running at a strong 6 feet — rather than absorbing their power by plowing into them head-first.
"We basically talked him down," Maestas said.
The Cessna sank a few minutes later, he said.
Mellor was treated and released from a Hilo hospital, according to news reports.
Griggs said experienced aircraft delivery companies often fly small planes from Monterey because it's the closest mainland airport to the Hawaiian islands, although solo piloting in private planes is unusual.
"There's not a whole lot of people who would try a (trans-ocean) flight solo," he said.
A Coast Guard spokeswoman in Hawaii said Monday that officials there did not know why the craft ran out of fuel.
Griggs said "it's basically a science to calculate what you need." Computer programs help, but sometimes unpredictable factors such as wind speed and turbulence come into play.
A patch of bad weather, for instance, can lead a pilot to fly at lower altitude, which reduces fuel efficiency, Griggs said.
Flight records show that Mellor flew most of the trip at 6,000 feet, with less than two hours at or above 10,000 feet.
The aircraft flown by Mellor is registered to Florida-based American King Air, a company that brokers and ferries planes to buyers around the world.
"Last Friday one of our ferry pilots was forced to ditch an aircraft in the Pacific Ocean off the Coast of Hawaii," the company said in a statement on its website. "Given his training and experience, he was rescued and not injured."
Company officials expressed gratitude to the Coast Guard, and said the firm and the National Transportation Safety Board "will investigate all aspects of this accident in order to determine the cause of this event."
The craft was previously owned by Big Top Trampoline Inc. of Perry, Fla., and was listed for sale online in late July for $209,000.
A similar water landing took place in 2004, Griggs said, when a single-engine Cessna flew the reverse trip, running out of fuel on its way to Monterey.
He said that pilot also survived.

By Clark Beck
The editor of the Binghamton, New York, Republican predicted on June 4, 1896 that the invention of a successful heavier-than-air flying machine would likely be the work of bicycle makers. His prediction was correct.
Wilbur and Orville Wright rented a storefront in Dayton, Ohio in December 1892 to start the Wright Cycle Exchange. Their business was successful and by 1897 it provided them an income of $2,000 to $3,000 per year.
Wilbur wrote the Smithsonian Institution on May 30, 1899 requesting information on the problem of mechanical and human flight. He stated in his letter "I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then if possible add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain success" The Smithsonian sent Wilbur a package of literature and a list of suggested further reading in June 1899. Wilbur spent three months from June to August 1899, digesting the aeronautical history and theory. His analysis of the flying machine problem led him to the area of balance and control. Wilbur concluded that the problem of equilibrium constituted the problem of flight itself. Wilbur and Orville started to work the problem in the summer of 1899.
The first problem they encountered was how to maintain lateral equilibrium. Lateral equilibrium in an airplane is maintained by controlling roll. Roll is similar to leaning from side to side on a bicycle. They came up with the concept of "wing warping" to control roll. Wing warping is the predecessor of ailerons on a modern airplane.
Wilbur came up with the wing-warping concept purely by accident of observation rather than a result of study. The accident of observation involved the twisting of an empty bicycle inner tube box with the ends removed. When he grasped each end of the box between his between his thumb and index finger and twisted in opposite directions he warped the box into a surface that would create an up load on one end of a wing and a down load on the opposite end of the wing, hence roll. Wilbur and Orville built a 5-foot wing span biplane kite to demonstrate wing warping. Wilbur flew the kite in July 1899 and verified that the concept worked.
On December 17, 1903 Wilbur and Orville made the first fully sustained heavier-than-air flights. They had achieved the timeless dream of human flight.

Flight is the process by which an object achieves sustained movement either through the air (or movement beyond earth's atmosphere, in the case of spaceflight) by aerodynamically generating lift, propulsive thrust or aerostatically using buoyancy.
Forces for flight
Forces relevant to flight are
These forces must be balanced for stable flight to occur.
The stabilization of flight angles (roll, yaw and pitch) and the rates of change of these can involve horizontal stabilizers (i.e. 'a tail'), ailerons and other movable aerodynamic devices which control angular stability i.e. flight attitude (which in turn affects altitude, heading).
Animal flightThe most successful groups of living things that fly are insects, birds, and bats. The extinct Pterosaurs, an order of reptiles contemporaneous with the dinosaurs, were also very successful flying animals. Each of these groups' wings evolved independently. The wings of the flying vertebrate groups are all based on the forelimbs, but differ significantly in structure; those of insects are highly-modified versions of structures that form gills in most other groups of arthropods. See also Bird flight.
Bats are the only mammals capable of true flight. However, there are several gliding mammals which are able to glide from tree to tree using fleshy membranes between their limbs; some can travel hundreds of meters in this way with very little loss in height. Flying frogs use greatly enlarged webbed feet for a similar purpose, and there are flying lizards which employ their unusually wide, flattened rib-cages to the same end. Certain snakes also use a flattened rib-cage to glide, with a back and forth motion much the same as they use on the ground.
Flying fish can glide using enlarged wing-like fins, and have been observed soaring for hundreds of meters using the updraft on the leading edges of waves. It is thought that this ability was chosen by natural selection because it was an effective means of escape from underwater predators.
Most birds fly (see bird flight), with some exceptions. The largest birds, the ostrich and the emu, are earthbound, as were the now-extinct dodos, while the non-flying penguins have adapted their wings for use under water. Most small flightless birds are native to small islands, and lead a lifestyle where flight would confer little advantage. The Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal in the world; its terminal velocity exceeds 370 km/h (199 mph) in a dive.
Among living animals that fly, the wandering albatross has the greatest wingspan, up to 3.5 meters (11.5 ft); the great bustard has the greatest weight, topping at 21 kilograms (46 pounds).
Mechanical flight is the use of a machine to fly. These machines include airplanes, gliders, helicopters, autogyros, airships, balloons, ornithopters, and spacecraft. Gliders provide unpowered flight. Another form of mechanical flight is parasailing where a parachute-like object is pulled by a boat. In an airplane lift is created by the wings; the shape of the wings of the airplane are designed specially for the type of flight desired. There are different types of wings: tempered, semi-tempered, sweptback, rectangular, and eliptical. An aircraft wing is sometimes called an airfoil, which is a device that creates lift by differences in pressure.
Religion, mythology and fictionIn religion, mythology and fiction, human or anthropomorphic characters sometimes have the ability to fly. Examples include angels in the Hebrew Bible, Daedalus in Greek mythology, and Superman in comics. Other non-human legendary creatures, such as some dragons and Pegasus, are also depicted with an ability to fly.
The ability to fly may come from wings or other visible means of propulsion, from superhuman or god-like powers, or may simply be left unexplained.
The study of flightLeanardo Da Vinci is one of the best-known early students of flight. He made many prototypes of parachutes wings and ornithopters.

Mackay and Whitsunday Life
Whitsunday Coast Airport is thrilled to announce that new airline, Bonza, is about to make its maiden voyage to Whitsunday shores following its successful partnership with the Sunshine Coast based company.
Bonza announced this week that it has been granted its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and now that they have received the final tick of approval they are making preparations for tickets to go on sale.
Whitsunday Regional Council Chief Operating Officer for Aviation and Tourism, Craig Turner said he is excited to finally be able to announce the news.
“Bonza’s first flight will be from the Sunshine Coast to the Whitsundays,” he said.
“We will put on a big welcome for them, their CEO and owners, and it will be an unbelievable showcase of our region to the rest of the world.
“Tickets are going on sale soon and we would love to see a flight land sometime in January.”
Bonza, Australia’s only independent low-cost carrier, announced that its initial route map will include 17 destinations and 27 routes – 93 per cent of which are not currently served by any other airline and 96 per cent of which currently have no low-cost carrier.
Whitsunday residents will soon be able to travel direct to the Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and Toowoomba.
Sunshine Coast flights will be coming to the Whitsundays three times a week and there will be flights to Newcastle twice a week.
Once more aircraft become operational, direct flights to Toowoomba will be introduced twice weekly.
Tim Jordan, Chief Executive Officer of Bonza said this is an historic moment for Australian aviation.
“The excitement for what we are about to deliver is palpable and the timing couldn’t be better,” he said.
“Demand for domestic travel is high and Aussies deserve for travel to be a basic right for many, not a luxury for the few. This has never been truer with today’s cost of living challenges.”
• The inaugural Bonza flight will be landing in the Whitsundays
• The first flight is expected to arrive by the end of this month
• Bonza is Australia’s only independent low-cost carrier
• One-hour flights are expected to cost as little as $50

To achieve the best results with “Run Free, Take Flight,” Zoic provided project supervision from pre-production to shoot and on through delivery, creating a spot that sought to capture the glamour and adventure found in the product itself.
Starting with technical pre-vis, Zoic created an upfront plan to help block the on-set action. Once on location, Zoic was there to execute this preparation, guide the production where needed, and aid the DJI team in capturing the plates needed for the eventual, seamless transition from live-action drone to the CG, animated version.
With the CG drone build, the excitement of a product launch asserted itself. Leading up to the release, the Zoic modeling and lighting teams maintained pace with an ever changing product, improvements being made up to the final unveiling – always ensuring the drone was the very best it could be, and always staying within the tight launch schedule.
As the product launch necessitated, the Zoic team was built to match, responsive and collaborative with DJI’s evolving needs. They ensured a timely response and execution of the latest updates, until the very last moment.
For DJI’s new Mavic, the DJI team created the most advanced drone you could ever fit into your backpack or purse.

So, it’s worth taking a moment to celebrate that NASA has just taken the essential first step on the path toward establishing a permanent presence in deep space.
Amid a backdrop of blue skies and white clouds, the Orion spacecraft plunged into the Pacific Ocean on Sunday a few hundred kilometers off the Baja Peninsula. That brought an end to the Artemis I mission, a 25.5-day spaceflight that showed NASA was about to start returning humans to deep space again.
This has not happened for half a century. At times, it seemed like it might never happen again. But now, that’s for sure is happening.
NASA’s progress toward the moon, and perhaps one day Mars, has been lethargic at times. The political process that has led NASA to this point in recent decades has been messy and driven by narrow ham projects. But on Sunday, it is undeniable that the process has brought NASA, the United States, and dozens of other countries participating in the Artemis program to the point where the program of human exploration of deep space is very real.
It’s been a long time.
The last Apollo mission ended this month, in 1972. For a while, US presidents and the space agency were content to focus human exploration in low Earth orbit, with US space shuttle development and plans to build a large space station.
But eventually, some people are starting to get worried. On the 20th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, in 1989, President George Bush announced the Space Exploration Initiative, a far-reaching commitment to human exploration of deep space. The plan was to complete a space station, and then, by the end of the century, humans on the Moon would begin building a base there.
What happened next wasn’t particularly pretty. Some people at NASA, including Administrator Dick Trulli, weren’t entirely on board with Bush’s idea. They were concerned that the lunar plans might disrupt the space station. Infamously, NASA conducted and leaked a 90-day study that suggested Bush’s plan could cost half a trillion dollars or more. Since Congress had no appetite for such a budget, the moon plans died.
They would have hibernated for nearly a decade and a half before President George W. Bush brought them back. Like his father, Bosch conceived of a bold plan to return humans to the Moon, where they would learn how to operate in deep space and then fly to Mars. This became the Constellation Program.
This vision was well received in the space community, but then three bad things happened. New NASA Administrator Mike Griffin has chosen a particularly large and expensive structure — the Ares 1 and Ares 5 rockets — to return humans to the Moon. International partners have been largely ignored. And then neither the President nor Congress fought for the full funding the program would need to survive.
Constellation was years behind, and over budget, when President Obama rescinded it in 2010. At that point, Congress stepped in and bailed out the Orion spacecraft, which had launched in 2005, and put together a design for a new rocket, the Space Launch System. . The development of these programs has faltered for most of the past decade, consuming more than $30 billion, with no clear destination. That changed in late 2017 when Vice President Mike Pence announced that NASA would land humans on the moon.
This led to Artemis being drafted in 2018 and 2019. It was far from perfect, but more than functional. Moreover, it has built on past failures. Whereas the Constellation Program had a purely governmental structure, Artemis increasingly leaned into commercial spaces. Artemis also sought to build international cooperation from the outset, through a series of bilateral agreements known as the Artemis Accords. And as of this year, the program is fully funded.
“Fifty years ago we went as a country, as a government,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said Sunday after the Orion landing. “Today we go not only with international partners, but with business partners. It is the beginning of a new beginning.”
Myriad technical challenges remain for the Artemis program, including development and testing of the SpaceX spacecraft, and Axiom’s work on spacesuits capable of operating in the lunar environment. These two contracts, which were awarded in 2021 and 2022 respectively, will likely require time and patience to bear fruit.
None of this will happen quickly. Artemis II is unlikely to fly before 2025, and the actual moon landing mission won’t come until later in the decade, possibly in 2027 or 2028.
But taking the long view is useful here. The other two deep space programs failed after Apollo because they lacked political support, funding, or both. Artemis is different. It has political support and funding. Remarkably, nearly every aspect of space policy—the White House, Congress, international allies, traditional aerospace, commercial space, and the space defense community—has aligned with the broad goals of Artemis.
This kind of support hasn’t existed for a program like this since the 1960s, and for the Apollo program. This enthusiasm was crystallized in the crucible of the national tragedy that followed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. There was nothing quite like that unifying event for Artemis. Instead, elements of this program have had to survive through four different, fiercely opposed administrations, from Bush to Obama to Trump to Biden.
“You see a nation riven by partisanship,” Nelson said. “It just doesn’t exist here. NASA is not partisan. Rs and D’s alike come together to support us.”
Surprisingly, then, the policy is in order. Now it comes to the technical implementation. Engineering is tough, but at least it’s based on reason, unlike space politics. Artemis I has proven to be technically successful. Do you think SpaceX can’t build a rocket to land on the moon? Or that NASA-designed Axiom can’t manufacture spacesuits to keep lunar dust out?
Sure, they can, and they will.
Lack of coordination?
NASA is also taking steps to address one of the last major issues with Artemis, the lack of coordination. Johnson Space Center in Houston is responsible for Orion and astronaut training. Marshall Space Flight Center in north Alabama builds the SLS rocket and manages development of the lunar lander. Kennedy Space Center launched missions.
As a result, many outside organizations and consultants have criticized NASA for not having a “program office” to coordinate the myriad elements that will go into the Artemis mission.
For example, NASA’s Office of Inspector General recently stated, “Unlike the first manned flights to the moon under the Apollo program, NASA does not have a NASA program general manager overseeing the Artemis missions or a prime contractor, as in the space shuttle program, As a leading system integrator. The concern is that without this official, the program will lack coherence and experience an internal struggle for influence.
However, such an office is already coming. Mike Sarafin, a NASA chief engineer who successfully served as mission director for Artemis 1, will become “mission development director” for Artemis 3. In an interview, Sarafin said the Artemis program office is still in the development stages, and that he doesn’t want to discuss details yet. However, it appears that its role will involve overall planning and coordination of the complex journey to the surface of the moon – bringing together the SLS rocket, Orion spacecraft and human landing system software under one roof.
Sarafin appears to be an excellent choice to lead the development of Artemis III. He’s guided the Artemis I mission through countless delays, overcoming challenges with liquid hydrogen fuel, and not one but two hurricanes in the weeks before the mission finally took off. However, through all of this, he and his team have brought home a spacecraft in great shape that met or exceeded all of its goals with its splashdown Sunday.
Another criticism of Artemis is that he simply repeats the Apollo program. If Artemis fails after a few missions, that criticism is well deserved. However, given a broad base of support for what’s happening today, NASA now has a credible path forward to not only exploring the lunar south pole, but learning to live and work in deep space, and eventually sending humans into the depths of the sun. System.
“There we did the impossible, we made it possible,” Nelson said of Apollo. “Now, we’re doing it again but for a different purpose. This time we’re going back to the moon to learn how to live, work and make.”
The greatest success imaginable for Artemis will be that he enjoys the permanence not enjoyed during the age of Apollo. In light of the success this weekend, such a future is in front of NASA. They and their partners just need to keep executing as brilliantly as they have for the past month.

The US Air Force Is NOT Ready For War with China
China has threatened to invade Taiwan, and some say it could invade as soon as 2027. The US is Taiwan's largest ally, and President Joe Biden has said multiple times that the US would defend Taiwan militarily if China invades. However the US Air Force isn't ready for war with China. In this episode of America Uncovered, we look at the Air Force's shortage of planes and pilots, why the Air Force is struggling to get enough of both, and how it's is planning to fill the gap.

Transport Canada announced that it plans to change the rules around operating drones, both for commercial and recreational use.
So you want to turn your drone hobby into a business. Great! Here's what you need to know to get started.
Commercial operation is defined as “any payment, consideration, gratuity or benefit, directly or indirectly charged, demanded, received or collected by any person for the use of an aircraft.” In other words, using your drone to make money.
Drones may be a relatively recent phenomenon, but that hasn’t stopped Skyasky Inc., a drone flight school, from opening the country’s first drone museum in Osaka, Japan.
For the first time ever, footage has been taken of narwhals to show how their tusks help them feed — although it might not be exactly what you're picturing.
How drones are using sensory and photographic data to create efficiencies in mining
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), better known as drones, can be used in a wide variety of ways for both personal and commercial use.
It's true that nobody is allowed to fly their drone in a national or provincial park without a special exemption. But don't take it too personally — flying any aircraft in a national or provincial park is prohibited, and drones just happen to fall into that category. | aerospace |

The South African Air Force will be celebrating its 89th birthday on 30 January 2009. Although Air Force day is annually commemorated on 01 February, which is the actual day the Air Force was established in 1920, the main reason for this years’ deviation is the fact that 01 February is on a Sunday.
For this years’ celebrations, the Chief of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Carlo Gagiano decided to follow the same pattern as for 2008, i.e. to have both a formal parade, fly pasts and demonstrations included, as well as a family day fanfare for informal interaction for those who are not officially involved in the proceedings.
For this purpose, an area will be demarcated for those who are not officially involved in the proceedings, to enjoy the day in typical picnic fashion, providing for their own comfort, e.g. food, beverages, sun block/ shades, chairs etc. Members of the public are also welcome to join in on the informalities should they wish to spend the day at Swartkop Airfield in Thaba Tshwane.
In the unlikelihood of adverse weather conditions on the day, the event will be redirected to take place at 28 Squadron’s no 14 hangar. Should this happen, only the Ceremonial Squadron, officially invited guests and recipients of awards and trophies will participate.
Air Force Day Parade 2009 is scheduled to commence at 10h00 on 30 January 2009.
Entrance to the premises for members of the public will be via Trichardt Road (northern gate to Swartkop Airfield).

As per the latest reports, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has said at his 2018 State of the City speech that SpaceX is soon going to start manufacturing the big Mars spaceships that will carry humans to the Red Planet.
During a live broadcast, Garcetti said, “Today, I am pleased to officially announce that SpaceX will start production development of the Big Falcon Rocket in the Port of Los Angeles. This is a vehicle that holds the promise of taking humanity even deeper into the cosmos than ever before.” He further added that if the current year has taught them anything then that is to think big and to go after something unreachable. “We have the confidence to look up to the stars, and the guts to realize our dreams,” Garcetti said.
Last year SpaceX CEO showed his Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) to the world and made the space community aware of its capability. Musk said that his company would soon start building the BFR rockets in order to colonize Mars. Musk said that the BFR spaceship will be launched in two parts and will carry 100 people and 150 tons of cargo into space. The 16-story spaceship will be boosted by a 19-story booster. At the SXSW conference in Austin last month, Musk had informed that the construction of the first BFR rocket has already been started. “We are building the first ship, or interplanetary ship, right now, and we’ll probably be able to do short flights, short up and down flights, during the first half of next year.”
Musk got the confidence to start building the BFR spaceship after the successful launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket. Musk has also planned to use the BFR rockets for travel purposes on Earth. He said that the BFR rocket will travel across the globe with lightning speeds and will fly people from New York to Shanghai in half an hour. As per the deal will the Port of Los Angeles, SpaceX will get up to 200,000 more square feet to work. The company will get a vacant dormant building which will be further renovated and upgraded to start building the big Mars spaceships. As per the reports, SpaceX will not have to pay the rent for the facility for more than two decades. | aerospace |

It was the start of 30 missions that the North Platte resident and Air Force pilot was part between April 15 and Aug. 6, 1945, the majority of which were bombing raids in Japan during World War II.
“They didn’t let us sit around a lot,” Hild said recently while sitting in his living room.
He has a copy of the mission list noted by a bombardier for a crew that Hild served with, the 458th Bombardment Squadron. The group was part of the brigade that flew B-29 Superfortress planes, which were used for high-altitude strategic bombing and low-altitude incendiary bombing during the war.
“We hit Tokyo several times and cities just west of there,” said Hild, 99, who celebrated his 75th wedding anniversary with his wife, Lily, in September.
Each mission would take off and land at the home base in Guam, last about 15 hours and use roughly 6,000 gallons of fuel.
The crew flew 13 missions in June 1945 alone — fire raids on 10 Japanese cities.
“Every time we went up, they shot at us,” Hild said, “but we were lucky. We had a few moments; they knocked out our hydraulic line one time.”
The mission list from a fire raid over Tokyo and Honshu on May 23-24 notes that it was an intense risk as the plane was momentarily caught in the Japanese searchlights at night and was fired on.
Another note from a raid on Osaka and Honshu says the B-29 was “nearly rammed by a Tony,” the Allies’ nickname for a Japanese fighter aircraft.
“I don’t remember ever being scared (for a mission),” Hild said. “It was almost like going to work. It was a military assignment and it was what you did.
“You didn’t really think much of it,” Hild said. “You took off on the mission and just hoped that hoped that you would make it back. We didn’t have much opposition from the Japanese most times. The guys flying those B-17s and B-24s in Germany and Africa had it a lot tougher than we did.”
One of the B-29s that Hild was a crew member on — the “Sentimental Journey” — is housed at the Pim Air and Space Museum in Tucson, Arizona. He has taken a pair of trips to see the plane, and his former crew has had about a dozen reunions over the years.
Hild was drafted on June 12, 1942. His training took him from boot camp at Fort Warren in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to airplane mechanic school in Lincoln, and to propeller specialist school in Jefferson Barracks, Missouri.
Pilot training then took him from Phoenix, Arizona, to Lancaster, California; Marfa, Texas; and Jamestown, North Dakota.
Hild earned four aviation medals and Distinguished Service and Good Conduct medals during his service. He had an offer to be a pilot for United Airlines after the war, but declined.
“I thought I wouldn’t be flying a lot in the United States and instead they would have me going overseas or somewhere else,” Hild said.
Instead, he landed a job with Pearson Appliance in 1946. Nine years later he started his own business, Hild Service Co., and Lily was office manager. In 1962 he formed a partnership, Coen-Hild LP Gas Co. Roy became the sole proprietor in 1975 and that company became Hild Propane Co., Inc., in 1991.
He retired in December 2017 after 72 years in the workforce.
As he looked around at the mementos and artifacts of his military career, he said one thing stands out from his service:
“That I was able to wear the uniform,” Hild said. | aerospace |

The Professional flight simulator program is designed to look and feel like the actual deal. It comes to a modeled digital world much much like the actual world with landmarks and numerous sorts of land types corresponding to mountains and fields all powered by an amazing tool called the Google Map program.
Though it is only a game, users would really feel the accuracy of the graphical interface within the game as well as how the elements would affect the player. Some patrons, found in proflight simulator review sites, have commented that players would be capable of really feel the stress in using an airplane on a sizzling sunny day as well as to fly on windy and wet skies.
Because the program relies on an actual time world, users would not only be capable of choose the climate of their choice but in addition the scenery. This may be great particularly to those who want more out of their simulations.
In keeping with a pro flight simulator assessment, users are allowed to select the kind of plain that they’d be using. The models of the aircrafts are actually primarily based on real plains and models. There are over 100 varieties of planes available for users and there are more added each time.
The additional planes could be shared through community updates given by the programmers of the software. The digital planes would then be capable of fly over 20,000 types of airports and over 100 varieties of traffic brought about by different commercial planes.
Nonetheless, much because the success of this program, there would also be a draw back to it. The use of this program is nothing much like utilizing an actual life airplane. Customers would only be capable of really feel how to experience a plane however they’d not be capable of learn the basics of flying one.
Benefits and drawbacks of Pro flight simulator
Aside from the flying half, users would also be not be capable of really feel how to begin and take off an airplane since each varieties of plane has a unique kind of management manifold. Because of this each flight could be really different. Some proflight simulator reviews declare that the software program software would only confuse the person for the reason that users would suppose that the control for a concord is very similar to Migs.
All in all, the Pro flight simulator program is only efficient relating to entertainment purposes and not for actual flight training. The program would be capable of train the users on how to fly a plane
below sure situations as well as on how each flight on totally different terrains would really feel like but it could not educate the users on how to really experience a plane.
For those web sites that would nonetheless declare that this program could be very efficient, they could just be a pro flight simulator rip-off sites. | aerospace |

Anniversary of the Douglas DC-3
Tuesday July 27, 2010 - "It was a long shot but we did it anyway." - Dan Gryder
Twenty-six DC-3s were stacked tightly together for photo-journalist purposes on the historic Monday morning flight. More than 240
media representatives were present at Rock Falls with film, photo, video, audio, and documenatry crews.
We started 52 engines at
12:22 pm on Monday. What a sight! The flight crews had been prebriefed with a formation PDF. They received their formal formation flight briefing
from 8:30 to 10:30 am. Twenty-six DC-3s taxied out for takeoff at 12:30. Of the 26, one returned to the ramp for a maintenance problem. Another
DC-3 aborted his takeoff, and one DC-3 made it
in the air but had to return to Rock Falls with an oil temperature problem. This left 23 airplanes flying towards Airventure with all systems GO!
The flight maneuvered on to a 40 mile
final for a Show Pass down runway 09 at Airventure. With the Herpa DC-3 as lead and coming over top, the order was given: "This is it boys, tighten her up, lights on,
After passing directly over Airventure, the flight broke for landing on 5 second breaks and formed a single ship line of 23 DC-3s perfectly spaced with gear down,
100 knots, and landing checks complete. The continuous perfect conga line was cleared to land on Runway 18 and all aircraft were down and clear in a record 16 minutes and
34 seconds. Congratulations and credit to the expert airmanship of these fabulous Douglas pilots and owners!

The jet packs are out of order. It will remain to be seen if new stock will arrive. We recommend looking for old jet packs for purchase in order to obtain one.
Orders are currently being accepted for the jet pack system. Before we can sell jet packs, we must meet any F.A.A. requirements. This process could take one to two years to complete. During this time we will be improving on the safety features, and operating systems. One issue that must be taken into account is the weight of the pilot. The jet pack with a seven gallon tank of fuel can lift a maximum of of 208 lbs. The final production model will increase this weight to about 224 lbs. The other factor is weather and altitude of the place of operation. For example, if you are in Boulder Colorado, the lift will be reduced due to the air being thinner there than say, Rhode Island.
If you are interested in purchasing a Jet pack, you must meet the following criteria.
1. Be a legal citizen of the United States of America, and pass a back ground check. Foreign orders must be authorized by the U.S. government, and the government of the purchaser.
2. You will be required to attend a one week training course on the operation of the jet pack. The course will include lecture, and actual flight instruction.
3. Jet packs will be sold as first come first serve. A $100,000 deposit will be required to reserve your position on the order list. At present, the total price for the jet pack will be $200,000. If the orders grow too rapidly, the price will increase to keep the orders down to a reasonable level. However, if you reserve a jet pack at a set price, you will retain that price. | aerospace |

- Be robust enough to withstand the static and dynamic loading due to launch and ground handling
- Function after exposure to extreme temperatures
- Meet optical requirements in the presence of any dynamic, static, or thermal operating loads by minimizing distortions and relative displacements
- Be designed such that its requirements for prelaunch adjustment, calibration, and testing can be met in the context of the larger system
- Be lightweight enough to meet mass requirements
To achieve these objectives, an instrument’s design progresses through various phases that involve both analysis and test. ATA is experienced in working as a tightly integrated multidisciplinary engineering team to provide analysis and test services for ground, air, and space-based opto-mechanical systems throughout the entire design cycle to validate that the instrument design can meet its intended functionality under the operational and survival environments. This support includes initial definition of dynamic and thermal environments, analysis-driven design to optimize both structural and optical performance, and testing to correlate analytic models and qualify subsystems for their operational/qualification environments. | aerospace |

Missile warning, GPS navigation, secured communications, and intelligence gathering; all of these share one commonality— they are essential to America’s national security.
The United States Space Force was formed late last year following increased hostility from other nations in space including China and Russia.
Space has become an increasingly contested environment. The United States relies on a plethora of defense satellites, spanning through multiple orbits. Orbits thought to be safe and out of reach. However, anti-satellite weapons have rapidly advanced, and pose an extreme danger to American assets.
According to an NPR report, countries including China, Russia, and India all have demonstrated anti-satellite capabilities through test launches.
Yet, as most Americans are not aware of these critical space-based assets, they could not even picture life without these unique capabilities. These satellites orbit overhead, in the shadow of the public eye. The satellites of the United States Space Force support every warfighting domain; including land, sea, air and space.
Daily life is intertwined around satellites owned by the Space Force. All GPS navigation satellites are controlled by the United States Space Force. If GPS satellites were to go offline, the financial system would crash, public navigation would be hindered, the power grid would be affected, military aircraft would have no sense of navigation, and more, according to an article from The Atlantic. Furthermore, GPS guided bombs and missiles would be rendered useless, according to a 60 Minutes interview with Bridger General Bill Cooley, the Commander at the Air Force Research Laboratory located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
In addition to the well-known GPS satellites, America relies on several other constellations, or groups of satellites, to monitor the globe for missile launches, provide secured communications, and more.
“Our Military Services have created the world’s best space capabilities,” said Mark Esper, secretary of defense, at a signing in the Pentagon. “Now is the time for the U.S. Space Force to lead our Nation in preparing for emerging threats in an evolving space environment.”
He added that this new service will help guarantee we are in a position to defend our national interests and outpace potential adversaries.
Before the United States Space Force, a command within the U.S. Air Force was responsible for the defense of military assets in space. Referred to as “the Air Force Space Command,” in the earliest days, there was no need to defend these satellites, they were safe, and out of reach in orbit.
As America continued to keep the pace, Russia and China increased aggression in space. The Russians have closely maneuvered military satellites near U.S. commercial satellites. Anti-satellite weapons are within range of nearly all Earth orbits. Space is now a warfighting domain.
“Let me be very clear, we do not want a conflict that extends into space, but one way to keep that from happening is to make sure that we’re prepared for it and [can] fight and win that conflict if it were to occur,” said John Raymond, general of the U.S. Space Force, to the House Armed Services Committee.
A drastic reorganization is underway in the United States space Force, as resources and airmen are moved from AFSPC.
Air Force bases that have had a large space mission will be transferred to the USSF, and be renamed accordingly. The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is planned to be renamed to the “Cape Canaveral Space Force Station” sometime at the end of the month. The Vandenberg Air Force Base, America’s west-coast launch site, will also be renamed, according to an article by Spaceflight Now.
The USSF will still be under the supervision of the Department of the Air Force, but will be funded separately, and will have a Joint-Chief of Staff directly advising the President, significantly elevating the space mission.
Space is the next frontier – but also the next battlefield. With America’s reliance on space-based assets, it is paramount that we are ready and willing to counter aggression on orbit. Life would not be the same without these satellites. Without space, it would be akin to going back to pre-industrial warfare. These missions absolutely save lives, so we must be ready to protect our spacecraft at all costs. America’s military-might depends on space. | aerospace |

Having visited the Singapore Airshow ’08 on the 24th February, which was a Sunday, and promising to blog about it after my exams (Yeah I finished my last paper on Wednesday, hurrah!), I thought I’d try to do it without delay when it’s still pretty fresh in my memory. ^^;
Practically thousands queuing at Pasir Ris MRT for their shuttle bus.
Queuing up for the bus was nearly 2 hours.
Plenty of delays to go around, but not as bad as Saturday’s.
That guy holding up the blue sheet is a real gentleman,
shielding his family from the sun while getting baked himself.
Fly-by. The actual term for this manoeuvre escapes me.
The first flight performance was by Singapore’s very own Black Knights; it’s their first comeback after 8 years and also featuring a full squadron of F-16 Fighting Falcons. They don’t really look black to me though…
Mirror flying… Top Gun style?
Classic cupid manoeuvre but nonetheless awesome. Hmm where have I seen that before… Sky Gir-
Flight of the giant.
Before the A380 came on its solo flight, there were smatters of other aerobatic displays as well. There were the F/A-18 and F-16 from the USAF, the M-346 from Alenia Aermacchi and T-50 from the Korea Aerospace Industries. However I couldn’t get to snap them down cause they totally can’t be seen on my digital camera, a lousy Nixon Coolpix S3.
Some photographic footage of the graceful giant. A380s give me the feeling that humans made flying whales.
The RAAF Roulettes in a tight formation.
IMO, these quiet little planes had by far the best performance
for the flight displays. Even better than the Black Knights.
The RAAF Roulettes piloted the Pilatus PC-9 models, which were single-engine, low-wing tandem-seat turboprop training aircrafts. The other fliers, the F/A 18 and F-16 did pretty good as well. The more impressionable scenes were their low speed hover passes. You could almost feel the gasps from the onlookers. But IMO the F-22’s was more impressive ^^;
After the various performances, the focus turned to the static display. The military vehicles were the most prominent, at the front of the exhibition, with the Primus tank sticking out of the bunch with its Howitzer gun.
Your drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!
AH-64 Apache Longbow from McDonnell Douglas.
The F-35 Lightning II, developed under the Joint Strike Fighter programme by the US and UK.
Initially I had not expected the F-35 to be included in the static displays. Personally I was expecting more of the F-15s and F-16s, and perhaps the F/A-18, so this came as a pleasant surprise when I investigated the sleek twin tail stabilisers that protruded from the crowd. The F-35, produced by Lockheed Martin, Nothrop Grumman, and BAE Systems under the JSF Programme, is a single-seat, single-engine, stealth-capable military strike fighter, a multi-role aircraft that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air-to-air combat. With Singapore in as a partner in the JSF Programme, we may be seeing the F-35 in our airforce… Perhaps after 2015.
Also in the photo is the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile(JASSM ), a high-precision stealth missile for use at stand-off ranges. The AGM-158A was developed by Lockheed Martin, which won them the JASSM contract in 1996.
The FireScout UAV by Northrop Grumman.
The Global Hawk UAV, also by Northrop Grumman.
USAF B1-B Lancer.
The American Lancer is a supersonic strategic bomber, and also the last of variable sweep-wing aircrafts to remain in the US military inventory after the F-14 Tomcats were retired from service in 2006.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon. RSAF’s if I’m not wrong.
USAF F-15 Strike Eagle.
USAF F/A- 18 Hornet.
The C-135, not sure if it’s the Stratotanker or the Stratolifter variant.
The C-130 Hercules.
From the left, the FireScout, the F-35, and the engines of the F-35.
Left two are photos of the Lancer( and the useful information board), and the C-135.
The following photos will be those of the tanks and combat vehicles from Singapore’s Ministry of Defence(MINDEF). I wanted to take close-ups of the A380, and several of the Gulfstream jets, but my camera’s batteries didn’t last. The C-130 Hercules was the last one =(
It seems that I’ve missed the Chinooks out on that day; I didn’t manage to spot it. What a waste.
Pegasus on the top; Light Strike Vehicle(LSV) below.
The Primus tank used in SAF. I was hoping to be able to see the Paladin Howitzer though.
Singapore’s very own Mortar Tracked Carrier.
Top-left, the newly received German-built Leopard 2A4 MBT. Top-right, the Bionix II,
and the Track Maintenance Task Vehicle at the bottom.
Hero of the day cleaning up the shit people left.
Despite a heavy schedule, I still feel that the Singapore Airshow was really worth all the trouble. However due to overwhelming response from the public, there was really really bad congestion and a lot of waiting. The queue for shuttle bus at Pasir Ris went twice around the MRT Station. It got much worse closer to noon. A 2 hour wait for a shuttle bus and approximately another 30 minutes on the bus itself, not to mention another delay in attempting to get through the congested road to the exhibition centre because an aircraft was on tow(?!). And it was worse on Saturday.
Fortunately I arrived minutes before the flight programme started, so I managed to catch the flight performance. Not to mention some home-made sushi to go along as well ^^;
Hours spent on editing the photos, resizing them to the current 800 x 600 resolutions, and uploading them one by one up onto WP so it took me much longer than I had expected. Especially when I’m researching the names of some aircrafts I’m not all too familiar with meanwhile. End up actual hours spent on the photos and post > hours spent in the airshow LOL
Processing of the photos are just some simple auto-leveling with Adobe CS2, and a few were leveled manually. Not very good at photography(especially while getting baked) with a hot(yeah the sun) camera, but I do hope you’d enjoy taking a look at these photos.
p.s. Sunburnt =/

Federal authorities pulled the pilot off a flight on which he was a passenger, but found no cause for concern.
The justices on Monday heard Air Wisconsin’s appeal of a $1.4 million defamation judgment in the case of veteran pilot William Hoeper. The dispute centers on the immunity Congress promised airlines in a post-9/11 law aimed at encouraging them to report possible security threats.
Three courts in Colorado found that the law did not shield Air Wisconsin from Hoeper’s lawsuit after a jury determined that statements made by an airline official in a report to the Transportation Security Administration were defamatory. | aerospace |

On 25 May 2011 the 100th production aircraft, ZK315, rolled off the production line at Warton. , From January 2011 the Qatar Air Force evaluated the Typhoon, alongside the Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, the McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle, the Dassault Rafale, and the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, to replace its then inventory of Dassault Mirage 2000-5s. "Euro-fighter goes supersonic on maiden flight: First test flight of EAP aircraft in Lancashire. The procurement totals were as follows: the UK 232, Germany 180, Italy 121, and Spain 87. The Eurofighter bears a strong resemblance to the EAP. Another measure to reduce the likelihood of discovery is the use of passive sensors (PIRATE IRST), which minimises the radiation of treacherous electronic emissions. , The 160th, and last, Typhoon (ZK437) was delivered to the RAF on 27 September 2019. In 1984, France reiterated its requirement for a carrier-capable version and demanded a leading role. , In 2000, the UK selected the Meteor from MBDA as the long range air-to-air missile armament for its Typhoons with an in-service date (ISD) of December 2011. The Spanish MoD put the cost of their Typhoon project up to December 2010 at €11.718 billion, up from an original €9.255 billion and implying a system cost for their 73 aircraft of €160 million.

This saw the Typhoon name formally adopted, initially for export aircraft only. The UK produced two designs; the P.106[N 1] was a single-engined "lightweight" fighter, superficially resembling the JAS 39 Gripen, the P.110 was a twin-engined fighter. The production aircraft are now operational with the partner nation's air forces. According to these order levels the workshare split should have been 39/24/22/15 UK/Germany/Italy/Spain, however Germany was unwilling to give up such a large amount of work. In March 2005, United States Air Force Chief of Staff General John P. Jumper, then the only person to have flown both the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Raptor, said: The Eurofighter is both agile and sophisticated, but is still difficult to compare to the F/A-22 Raptor. The fly-by-wire system is described as "carefree", and prevents the pilot from exceeding the permitted manoeuvre envelope. The protracted contract negotiations pushed the ISD to August 2012, and it was further put back by Eurofighter's failure to make trials aircraft available to the Meteor partners.

In MTT mode the system will scan a designated volume space looking for potential targets. , The Typhoon also carries a specially developed variant of the Mauser BK-27 27 mm cannon that was developed originally for the Panavia Tornado. With the introduction of the block 5 standard, the R2 retrofit programme began to bring all Tranche 1 aircraft to that standard. The UK cut its orders from 250 to 232, Germany from 250 to 140, Italy from 165 to 121 and Spain from 100 to 87. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a highly agile aircraft, designed to be a supremely effective dogfighter in combat. The UK, Italy and Spain supported the Ferranti Defence Systems-led ECR-90, while Germany preferred the APG-65-based MSD2000 (a collaboration between Hughes, AEG and GEC-Marconi).

More than 550 Typhoon jets have been sold to the UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Oman and Saudi Arabia as of 2019. The Eurofighter Typhoon is unique in modern combat aircraft in that there are four separate assembly lines. Aircraft deliveries will begin in 2020. On 1 September 2002, No. In Turin on 2 August 1985, West Germany, the UK and Italy agreed to go ahead with the Eurofighter; and confirmed France, along with Spain, had chosen not to proceed as a member of the project. The AIS physically comprises two essentially separate units: the Attack Computer (AC) and the Navigation Computer (NC). 12 (B) Squadron would stand as a joint RAF/Qatari Air Force squadron, with the Qatari crew temporarily operating Typhoons to prepare them for their own Typhoon deliveries in 2022. In December 2006, it was reported in The Guardian that Saudi Arabia had threatened to buy Rafales because of a UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigation into the Al Yamamah defence deals which commenced in the 1980s. 3 (F) Squadron Typhoon F2s took over QRA responsibilities from the Panavia Tornado F3 on 29 June 2007, initially alternating with the Tornado F3 every month. The ECA project collapsed in 1981 for several reasons, including differing requirements, Dassault's insistence on "design leadership" and the British preference for a new version of the RB199 to power the aircraft versus the French preference for the new Snecma M88. The consortium is keen to make use of the engine's growth potential to boost thrust by around 15% as well as improve fuel efficiency and range. Using the "war" setting, dry thrust increases by 15% to 69 kN per engine and afterburners by 5% to 95 kN per engine and for a few seconds, up to 102 kN thrust without damaging the engine. , The UK's first Typhoon Development Aircraft (DA-2) ZH588 made its maiden flight on 6 April 1994 from Warton.

The Air Staff Target (AST) 403 specification in 1972 led to the P.96 conventional "tailed" design presented in the late 1970s. The Eurofighter Typhoon is a single-seat fighter plane under the Modern Military section. , The first Spanish production Eurofighter Tifón to fly was CE.16-01 (ST001) on 17 February 2003, flying from Getafe Air Base. The share of the production work was divided among the countries in proportion to their projected procurement – BAe (33%), DASA (33%), Aeritalia (21%), and Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA) (13%). L'Eurofighter Typhoon, il cui prototipo era designato EFA (European Fighter Aircraft), è un aeroplano militare multiruolo (Swing Role) di quarta generazione avanzata, bimotore, con ruolo primario di caccia intercettore e da superiorità aerea. , In November 2019 Airbus proposed a SEAD capability for the aircraft, a role which is currently performed by the Tornado ECR in German service. Later production aircraft have been increasingly better equipped to undertake air-to-surface strike missions and to be compatible with an increasing number of different armaments and equipment, including Storm Shadow and Brimstone missiles.

On 22 December 1997 the defence ministers of the four partner nations signed the contract for production of the Eurofighter. West Germany continued to refine the TKF-90 concept. This move also reflected the switch from two-seat trainer to single-seat pilot training and greater use of training simulators. The ACA was to be powered by a modified version of the RB199. MBB and Aeritalia signed up with the aim of producing two aircraft, one at Warton and one by MBB. In 2015, BAE was awarded a £1.7 million contract to study the feasibility of a common weapon launcher that could be capable of carrying multiple weapons and weapon types on a single pylon.

Tranche 1 aircraft could drop laser-guided bombs in conjunction with third-party designators but the anticipated deployment of Typhoon to Afghanistan meant that the UK required self-contained bombing capabilities before the other partners. The ESM-ECM and MWS consists of 16 AESA antenna array assemblies and 10 radomes.

As the industrial revolution continues & technological advancements & innovations spring upon us at the speed of light, mankind stands on a fragile precipice. Our thoughtless plundering of resources clubbed with a penchant to pollute our singular home has led us to a brink where climate change has become so severe, it could adversely alter life as we know it.
With estimates that air travel will potentially double by 2050, serious conversations need to be had & drastic measures taken, to reduce the impact flight has on the environment. To be specific, we must strive to curb & eventually (decades down the line), stop carbon emissions.
One such tactic being deployed, which is currently still in a nascent stage of application, is the use of ‘Sustainable Aviation Fuel’ or SAF.
What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel?
First utilized in the year 2008, Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a type of fuel whose chemistry is extremely similar to jet fuel, but it is produced from sustainable raw materials, commonly referred to as ‘feedstock’. As a safe, tested & proven alternative to traditional jet fuel, it’s estimated to reduce the amount of carbon emission across its lifecycle of use by around 80%.
In comparison to conventional fossil base jet fuel, SAF is produced from renewable & sustainably sourced waste and residual waste materials such as:
- Corn grains, oil seeds
- Used cooking oils, fats and grease
- Forestry & Agricultural residues like wood mill waste
- Solid municipal waste
- Wet waste (sludge and manure)
- Packaging, paper, textiles
- Algae & fast-growing plants
This process effectively recycles the carbon already present in the atmosphere while generating minimal amounts of carbon emissions. In addition, SAF also aids in reducing emission of air pollutants such as particulates & sulfur in the regions around airports by 90%.
Important Aspect of SAF:
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is also referred to as ‘drop-in’ fuel, due to its ability to seamlessly mix with traditional jet fuel without any difficulties. With absolute ZERO changes required in the design of expensive jet engines, infrastructure, storage, or the supply to and from airports, SAF can be blended in a ratio of up to 50% with conventional jet fuel and subsequently harnessed to power all types of flight.
Current State of SAF within the Aviation Industry:
SAF has propelled over 250,000 flights across the globe. Despite that, it accounts for a measly 0.1% of the aviation fuel market. A major reason for this is the immense cost of production which can range anywhere from 2 to 6 times the cost of widely used jet fuel. Being that SAF is a relatively novel idea being put to use, availability of feedstock combined with fewer production facilities & lesser developed technology can account for this cost difference.
Major airlines are signing or are on the verge of finalizing agreements with SAF suppliers in order to build more production plants. The transition to sustainable alternatives of fuel for aviation is only a matter of time but to expedite this process, government support is definitely required & incentive policies need to be rolled out. This will allow for large investments in research & development of state-of-the-art technology to manage the entire SAF ecosystem as well as to identify a new generation of renewable sources of feedstock.
Meanwhile the entire aviation industry looks to grab opportunities to reduce negative impact on the environment through more efficient aircraft design, optimizing cross-country flights, monitoring emissions & moving towards electrification of fleets across continents.

The space agency will use the engineering prototype to simulate how it could get “crew, equipment, supplies and samples off and on the vehicle” in future moon missions, according to the press release.
While not a full prototype, the 40-foot-high mock-up does include the descent element based on Blue Origin’s Blue Moon cargo lander and BE-7 LOX/hydrogen engine. It also carries the ascent element developed by Lockheed Martin, including avionics, software, life support hardware and crew interfaces. Some of that tech is from Lockheed Martin’s human-rated, deep-space Orion vehicle that’s supposed to fly on NASA’s Artemis I and II moon test missions. | aerospace |

The DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced Drone is loaded with technologies to help first responders enforce the law, discover and rescue victims, and battle fires by leveraging the practical benefits of drone technology. In addition, it can check power equipment, structures, and even the environment in minutes, rather than hours or days. All of this is possible because of the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced’s small size, long-lasting battery, ability to fly missions swiftly, high-tech dual thermal and visual cameras, and a slew of additional capabilities.
Dual Thermal and Visual Cameras
The dual thermal and visual camera is at the heart of the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced’s capability in industrial, governmental, and scientific applications. Not only can these cameras be flown to highly difficult-to-reach areas rapidly, but if the mission is perilous, they are equipped with significant zoom capabilities, including up to 4x lossless and 32x digital zoom on the visual camera and up to 16x zoom on the thermal camera. Temperatures of objects and the surroundings may be reliably estimated and examined with the thermal camera to within 3.6°F.
Dual Vision and Long Transmission
With twin cameras comes the Dual Vision function, which lets you switch between visible and thermal cameras with a single swipe. You may even see the same film with both cameras in split-screen mode. These real-time views from the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced may be safely and conveniently delivered to your remote from up to 6.2 miles away.
While flying near people and in danger, it’s critical that the drone doesn’t exacerbate whatever problems it’s been dispatched to examine. As a result, DJI outfitted the Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced with an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system comprised of sensors embedded into the drone’s chassis and directed in all directions (forward, backward, both sides, above, and below). | aerospace |

The official Leap Controller didn’t launch until the Summer of 2013 around the time the museum opened, so we weren’t able to use it there. Since then I created a demo by hooking it up to the Shuttle Landing Simulator I developed for Kennedy, and we set it up for our Unified Field booth at the 2013 ASTC tradeshow in Albequerque, New Mexico.
Users can advance through the interface by “tapping” their finger, originally there was a joystick with a button for this application. The shuttle flight path is controlled by moving one’s hand in the same manner an airplane would fly. | aerospace |

It sure seems like that’s what NASA is doing. NASA has to do something in order to maintain its relevance as the space age dawns in the era of commercial space flight. NASA is still running scientific-exploratory missions to Mars and elsewhere in the solar system, but even this role will be soon be overtaken by private enterprises like Planetary Resources.
From Space.com comes news that NASA has launched a private space taxi certification program. The program will consist of a two-stage “process aimed at ensuring commercial passenger spaceships currently under development will meet the agency’s safety standards, schedule and mission requirements.” Yay, NASA’s record of safety, timeliness, and priorities with minimal bureaucratic waste leaves me reassured.
Budget cuts no doubt have something to do with the certification program as well. “NASA expects to award multiple firms a Certification Products Contract (CPC), each of which will run for 15 months and be worth up to $10 million.” Restrict competition, rake in the dough, ensure the continuation of your own jobs, and retain control of the space industry — all in the name of safety, science, human progress, and protecting taxpayer “investments.”
Co-blogger Ryan McMaken is quite right to give President Obama credit for cutting the space program.
Sadly, however, it looks like Obama is already backing down on those cuts.
No surprise there. If Obama thinks it’s okay to spend trillions on everything else, how can he justify cutting this? It’s not like budget constraints have meant anything to him otherwise. In Obama’s world, if something is important, then you spend government money on it without regard for the budget (much less the impropriety of spending other people’s money). So when he comes under fire, what can he do? Say that he doesn’t think space travel (or science) is important? Of course not.
Under a new proposed compromise, the government will still build the Orion rocket that it had intended to use for new moon missions — it just won’t send it to the moon. Instead, the Orion will go to the space station and then just sit there in case we ever need it as an “escape pod.” (Really.) That way we can still show our commitment to space and science and stuff, and the military-industrial complex and NASA employees will still get paid.
But what about all the expense? Not to worry. The WSJ informs us that by not scrapping the Orion program, Obama “will help Lockheed and the government avoid significant termination costs associated with shutting the Orion project down.”
Phew! Glad we taxpayers (and especially Lockheed Martin!) will now avoid all those costs of… not spending anymore.
(Cross-posted at LRC.)
Obama has done one decent thing and moved to cut funds to the space program. Neil Armstrong has condemned Obama for it. There are two thoughts that immediately come to me as a result: 1. “So what?” and 2. “Who cares what Neil Armstrong thinks?”
Arguments in favor of the space program are based on two things: sentimentalism and militarism. The militaristic argument is the more sophisticated one. The space program, behind its veneer of civilian purpose, has always been a military program founded to improve rocket technology, and eventually, to provide the United States with military superiority over space itself. The sentimentalism is the rationale that most Americans subscribe to as they get misty eyed over fantasies about “the human spirit” and “destiny” and all those other concepts from Hollywood adventure films.
From a pragmatic point of view, the space program is nothing more than a massive socialist spending program with militaristic intent, but which benefits handsomely from hysterical and maudlin appeals to hope in the government’s ability to accomplish anything provided enough time and taxpayers’ loot.

The only funding we get is from our own wallets as we fund all our own activities from fuel, plane maintenance, plane hire or ownership, travel expenses & equipment. Air Search also feels this is an important endorsement of its completely unpaid status
Although we accept that flying and plane ownership in itself is not something everyone can afford, we are by no way lottery winners who can fly all day, every day. We fly because we want to help people and put something back into our community.
Air Search and its members receives no funding from any official body, company or governmental department. We are not a registered charity, and deliberately do not apply for charity status as although our members do not consider themselves wealthy, we accept that aviation and plane ownership, in itself, is not something everyone can afford. As such, we strongly believe that there are far more worthy causes out there that do need the public's money; Help For Heroes, Air Ambulances, Cancer Research etc. If we were a charity we could possibly divert that money away from these charities and we do not want that to happen.
In essence, Air Search, will do what ever it can to help whosoever requires or requests our assistance.

Their assortment is stuffed with sure-fire pilot’s watches together with the likes of huge crowns and chronographs furnished with daring numerical markers round their signature expansive dials. Every watch not solely integrates bodily components of a selected plane inside its design, however pays tribute to the varied historic occasions of navy aviation and the exceptional those that had been part of it. AVI-8 continues this custom with the current announcement of their restricted version P-51 Mustang Chronograph that honors the legendary Tuskegee Airmen.
The P-51 Mustang Tuskegee Airmen Chronograph is available in two distinct variations. The primary, a black dial with pink and yellow accents often known as the ‘Illinois’. And the second, a silver dial with navy blue subdials, in addition to pink and yellow accents dubbed the ‘Alabama’. Each names are derived from the airfields the place the Tuskegee Airmen did their coaching; The Tuskegee Military Airfield in Alabama, and the lesser recognized airfield, Chanute Area in Illinois, which was the place the 99th Pursuit Squadron, the primary ever unit of the Tuskegee Airmen, had been activated earlier than the beginning of World Conflict II. | aerospace |

Aviation - Licensed PPL !
August 28, 2000 I flew my first solo flight in a Cessna 172 as a holder of aPPL (private pilot license) !
I flew the "City Tour", flying from my home airport CNC3 (Brampton) to City Centre (CYTZ), then on to ButtonVille (CYKZ) before returning to home base.
I started my training Mar 22 the same year, so it took about 5 mths to get my license, flying 2 -3 times a week in the evenings and on weekends.
I've always had an interest in flying, but living in Toronto, you don't see many small planes, mainly because CYYZ's (Pearson International) airspace envelopes about a 35 mile radius of sky around the city. Small planes can and do fly in certain areas, but rarely directly over the city or surrounding suburbs.
So that is part of the reason why I didn't learn to fly until in my middle 40's. I wasn't really aware of small light planes, thinking that a pilot license was only for airline pilots ! | aerospace |

Two-page autograph letter signed (ALS) “Donald K. Slayton, Capt. USAF”, 8×10.5, “National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Space Task Group, Langley Field, Va.” stationery, no date but circa September 1959-June 1960. Letter to “Helene,” answering several questions, in part:
1. The reason all pilots selected were married with at least one child is that all are over 33 years of age. The average American male of this age has a family and we are average people.
2. The primary reason I am interested in this program is to continue my career as a professional test pilot. This consists of learning all that can be learned about airborne vehicles and insuring they are safe for other people to fly in. This is the profession I am most proficient at and can best serve my country in this capacity.
3. We have all been chosen to go into space although only one can go first, obviously. Eventually space travel will become as common as aircraft flying now is. As to the safety involved in space flying, there is undoubtedly an element of risk involved due to lack of knowledge. If there were no risk and no unknowns, we should have been in space years ago. We are attempting to minimize all known risks, but you couldn’t compare this ride with normal aircraft flight.
In very good to fine condition, with soiling to corners and binder dings to the left edge.
Slayton was originally selected to pilot the second American manned orbital spaceflight, but was grounded in 1962 due to an irregular heart rhythm. He would become the last member of the original Mercury Seven to make it into space, finally accomplishing this goal with the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975—fifteen years after writing this detailed letter. At age 51, he became the oldest person to fly in space at the time. | aerospace |

Mayo
The mix of grassy hills and strong, steady winds from the sea and land makes Mayo a paradise for hang gliding.
The unspoilt countryside is a largely untapped resource for handglider ‘pilots’ as this sport is in its fledgling state in Ireland.
An exhilarating air sport, hang glidiing requires skill and bravery as a pilot launches a light, unmotorised aircraft and flies by using the wind as power and shifting body weirght to steer.
With many rural areas free from overhead powerlines, forestry and other obstacles such as tall buildings, Mayo and the west of Ireland is well equipped to take off as a hang gliding destination.
The green grassy fields that form the beautiful natural landscape of Ireland also provide a safe landing when the pilot makes the descent to ground level. | aerospace |

OUTPUTS: Outputs. The activities of the past year were focused on the data analyses of the samples returned from the three launches of the TAGES experiments: STS-129, STS-130 STS-131. Dissemination of the information (in addition to publication) includes presentations by both PIs at the Gravitational and Space Biology meeting in 2011 in Santa Claire, CA, at the suborbital meeting in Orlando FL, and at NASA Headquarters. Both PIs are involved with extensive outreach activities in local schools. PARTICIPANTS: Individuals responsible for the Project: PI: Robert J. Ferl and Co-PI: Anna-Lisa Paul Collaborator: Dr. Alain Berinstain at the Canadian Space Agency (PI for the Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse project on Devon Island); Dr. Howard Levine at Kennedy Space Center (Science Coordinator for the TAGES experiment at KSC) Training or professional development: Graduate Students during life of the project: John Mayfield, Anne Visscher, Tufan Gokirmak, Joe Collins; undergraduate students: Claire Amalfitano, Lauren Frizzell, Justin Goodwyn. TARGET AUDIENCES: The scientific community and the general community (both adult and student) though the educational outreach activities outlined in a previous section. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
PROGRESS: Samples were collected and processed from the experimental subsets launched on STS-129, 130 and 131 in 2009/2010. Two approaches of data collection were used; GFP reporter genes were used to collect gene expression data in real time within GIS (GFP Imaging System) imaging hardware, growth morphology images were also collected, and plants were harvested on orbit to RNAlater for subsequent gene expression profiling with Affymetrix and RNASeq transcriptome analyses. Leaves, hypocotyls and roots were examined independently, revealing that there are a number of organ-specific responses that Arabidopsis employs to respond to the spaceflight environment. Almost a third of the statistically significant, differentially expressed genes encode proteins typically associated with cell wall remodeling, including touch, pathogen response and wounding. Many were dramatically induced (between 5 and 25-fold). In addition, the unique imaging capabilities of the GIS housed in the ABRS unit enabled us to collect morphometric data on the patterns of root growth in the GFP reporter gene plants. These data revealed that there are fundamental differences in root growth and development on orbit, and that two common cultivars of Arabidopsis Wassilewskija (WS) and Columbia (Col-0) are distinct in their responses to spaceflight. This year we also launched a successful parabolic aircraft flight campaign in Houston. The parabolic flight experiment tested new hardware configurations suitable for a transition into the suborbital aircraft platform. IMPACT: The overall goal of our program is to understand fundamental molecular biological responses to extraterrestrial environments. This goal aligns with Fundamental Space Biology goals to understand the impact of spaceflight on biological systems to better enable the exploration imperative. We have used molecular biology and genetically tagged plants as biological monitors of spaceflight and space-related environments with great science return, leading to the development of new biological and hardware tools to study the spaceflight response with even higher fidelity in a wider variety of spaceflight-related environments. Gaining insights into such mechanisms is recognized as fundamental within the decadal study and underpin answers to some of the biggest questions in spaceflight plant biology. Although the analyses are ongoing, our data show that spaceflight induces a touch-wound-remodeling response that is linked to distinct morphometric changes in plant growth and development on orbit. These data provide insights into the fundamental nature of root cell growth patterns, and into the nature of the enhanced susceptibility of plants to pathogens in orbital environments

Progress 10/01/09 to 09/30/10
OUTPUTS: Activities. This academic year, the Payload Verification Test (PVT) was completed, along with several additional tests and experiments in preparation for the launch of the first component of the TAGES experiment (Run 1) on November 16th. The Imaging Hardware continued to undergo significant improvements right up to launch. In addition, insights gained during flight operations contributed to further improvements to the hardware and procedures. Most of the year's effort was focused on the execution and analyses of experiments leading up to the 11-16-2009 launch of the first leg of the TAGES flight experiment. However, the full report of Flight operations and experimental results will be presented in the final report. Events Both PIs presented talks at the Gravitational and Space Biology meeting in Washington DC, 11-2009. Dissemination- both PIs are involved with extensive outreach activities. This year the PIs were asked to help prepare and article describing their space biology research for Explore magazine, and Paul helped to create a series of science videos for lesson plans related to the concept of researching and growing plants in spaceflight and novel planetary environments. These are posted on the UF Genetics web site and on You-Tube. Paul also was invited to present at the career fair for the national organization of Minorities in Agriculture, Natural Resources and Related Sciences (MANRRS) and to the Institute for Learning in Retirement.

PROGRESS: This academic year, the Payload Verification Test (PVT) was completed, along with several additional tests and experiments in preparation for the launch of the the TAGES experiment in November, 2009, February 2010 and April 2010. The Imaging Hardware continued to undergo significant improvements right up to launch. In addition, insights gained during flight operations contributed to further improvements to the hardware and procedures. Most of the year's effort was focused on the execution and analyses of experiments leading up to the 11-16-2009 launch of the first leg of the TAGES flight experiment. Additional to the PVT, several experiments were conducted to prepare for flight operations, including exhaustive testing of the TAGES Green Fluorescent Protein Imaging system (GIS), a series of vibration tests to mimic launch environments and a 30 day functional test to conduct a mock flight scenario. There were three separate launches of the TAGES experiment in November, February and April. An extraordinary amount of time and resources went into preparation of the biology and hardware to support these flights. All were successfully launched and returned. The data analyses were begun in May and are still underway. IMPACT: The data from the Flight experiments have demonstrated that the spaceflight hardware developed for TAGES worked well and will have wide application in the spaceflight community. The gene expression data under analysis suggest that the spaceflight environment can be assayed both through telemetric collections of data with fluorescent reporter gene technology as well as traditional biochemical / molecular genetic techniques that require sample return. Data from both approaches indicate that the spaceflight causes changes in the gene expression patterns of plants exposed top this novel environment.

Progress 10/01/07 to 09/30/08
OUTPUTS: ACTIVITIES in the first year of the grant period (10/1/2007 - 9/30/2008)include three significant off-site experiments. November 2007: the Science Verification Test (SVT) for the flight experiment was conducted at Kennedy Space Center. This test evaluates the technical readiness of the biological systems, experimental approaches and hardware interface designed for the eventual deployment of the Flight experiment. May 2008: a parabolic flight experiment at Johnson Space Center in Houston to evaluate the biological effects of an analog spaceflight environment on Arabidopsis plants. The focus of this experiment was to evaluate genome-wide changes in gene expression patterns and gather tissue-specific data on processes associated with the transduction of auxin mediated signaling. July 2008: experiments in a planetary analog site (Haughton Crater in the Canadian high arctic) to evaluate the deployment of remote imaging hardware in the autonomous Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse (ACMG) managed by the Canadian Space Agency, and also to collect and evaluate local impact crater materials (breccias) to use as analogs for in situ utilization of local resources on planetary expeditions to the moon or mars. During the course of these experiments, as well as the subsequent analyses of materials and process in our home laboratory, we have involved graduate and undergraduate students, as well as incorporated materials and results into the Space Biology class (HOS4905 / PCB6937) that Ferl and Paul are teaching in the Fall Semester. EVENTS include having presentations at the 37th COSPAR Scientific Assembly in early July and the NASA Lunar Science Institute (NLSI) conference in late July. DISSEMINATION - both PIs are involved with extensive outreach activities. This year the PIs were asked to help prepare and article describing their space biology research for Explore magazine, and Paul helped to create a series of science videos for lesson plans related to the concept of researching and growing plants in spaceflight and novel planetary environments. These are posted on the UF Genetics web site and on You-Tube. Paul also was invited to present to the Florida Association of Agricultural Educators (FAAE) Tech Update. Her participation included a presentation (Growing plants off-planet - What do we need to know before we go), the live demonstration of GFP biosensor plants with GFP fluorescent imaging hardware, and the development of education kits to grow arabidopsis plants in the classroom. PARTICIPANTS: PI: Robert J. Ferl Co-PI: Anna-Lisa Paul. Graduate Students: Anne Visscher and Tufan Gokirmak. Collaborator at the Canadian Space Agency: Alain Berinstain (PI for the Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse project on Devon Island). TARGET AUDIENCES: The scientific community and the general community (both adult and student) though the educational outreach activities outlined in a previous section. PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Nothing significant to report during this reporting period.
PROGRESS: The second generation of TAGES GFP imager (TIS-II) was tested for remote deployment to mimic aspects of the collection of telemetric data from another planetary surface. We deployed the GFP imaging system within the Arthur Clarke Mars Greenhouse (ACMG) an autonomously operated greenhouse located within the Haughton Mars Project in the on Devon Island in the Canadian high arctic. Results both demonstrate the applicability of the fundamental GFP biosensor technology and highlight the difficulties in collecting and managing telemetric data from challenging deployment environments. Parabolic flights were conducted on the NASA C-9 aircraft to explore aspects of signal transduction in arabidopsis. Microarray data from a previous KC-135 experiment indicated that several auxin-associated genes are affected by the parabolic flight environment. Two were chosen to test the efficacy of biosensors to report tissue-specific patterns of gene expression of early auxin signaling. Pin4 encodes an auxin efflux mediator and Arf7 encodes a transcription factor that binds to the Auxin Responsive element. Plants were harvested at three time points during the C-9 flight: before flight as Ground Control at parabola 20 and parabola 40. The experiment was conducted twice. The histochemical staining patterns of the Pin4 and Arf7 GUS reporters indicates that both of these auxin signaling genes are differentially-regulated in a tissue-specific manner in response to parabolic flight environments. IMPACT: The data from the experiment and spaceflight hardware development have resulted in a design that should successfully grow plants on the space station and analyze gene expression of plants telemetrically. The analog environment experiments corroborate that the Imaging Hardware under development for Flight application can also be adapted for remote sensing applications in platforms such as planetary landers and suit-case deployment by astronauts returning to the moon. The C-9 experiments demonstrate that applicability of parabolic flight as an analog test environment for spaceflight applications and provide insight into the signal transduction associated with the role of auxin in early gravity perception. These accomplishments set the stage for experiments that explore the limits of agricultural biology within the solar system and extend knowledge that might allow the production of food and air/water recycling in extraterrestrial habitats.

The Industry Space Days event is an excellent opportunity for the European space community to meet and discuss potential business. Our colleagues from AROBS Engineering were present at this year’s edition that took place between the 11th and 12th of September in ESTEC Noordwijk, The Netherlands.
During the event, we had the chance to engage in insightful conversations, intensive networking, business to business interactions. It was an excellent opportunity to showcase our expertise in embedded software at the exhibitor’s booth for the Romanian aerospace projects and create important connections that will help support upcoming aerospace projects and businesses. We discussed with ESA experts about software opportunities for the newest processors for space, LEON 5 and RISK 5.
Another important moment from the event was The Evening of Romanian Software Experts, which took place at the Romanian booth and gathered all the Romanians working for ESA or for the consortium’s companies. We were pleasantly impressed by the size of the Romanian team working on ESA programs.
Together with other Romanian software partners, AROBS Engineering is currently a member of the two biggest ESA missions, Clear Space and Space Rider. Furthermore, AROBS Engineering Office in Germany became a supplier for the ESA STAR System.
Our history with ESA
We are proud of our long history of developing complex onboard SW solutions for Space and being a trusted software partner for ESA’s missions.
ESA’s Euclid mission aims to map the dark universe’s geometry. By analyzing the shapes and redshifts of galaxies and clusters of galaxies, the project will explore the distance-redshift connection and the development of cosmic structures.
For the mission, AROBS Engineering provided SW services for scientific data processing, supplying defined self-contained processing units known as processing functions (PFs).
Space Rider (Space Reusable Integrated Demonstrator for Europe Return) is a futuristic uncrewed orbital lifting body spacecraft that aims to provide the European Space Agency with regular, affordable access to space.
AROBS Engineering ensures that the Independent Software Verification and Validation (ISVV) procedures are performed on the two newly developed Space Rider Vehicle On-Board Software components operating on the AOM (AVUM Orbital Module) and RM (Re-entry Module) onboard computers.
ClearSpace-1, the first autonomous ESA space debris removal mission, seeks to deorbit the VESPA Upper that was launched on May 2013 together with VEGA Flight VV02, which carried the Proba V satellite. The first operations plan calls for a 7-month period of time, with a drifting phase and about a 6-month rendezvous and capture period. Before the end of 2025, there will be an assisted disposal of the VESPA Upper Part.
As part of this mission, AROBS Engineering is developing and validating the Software application platform (on CPU and FPGA) for the RSVPU unit.
Unibap is a new company already launching satellite constellations to serve diverse consumers with “Cloud-in-Space” services.
AROBS Engineering’s Software onboard image compression algorithm (for hyperspectral pictures) was chosen and deployed on the Unibap satellites.
Looking towards the future
We are proud of our ESA special history, and we are happy that we had the chance to join our partners at The Industry Space Days. ESA plays a huge role in space exploration, and we are excited to be involved in the Space Rider and ClearSpace-1 future projects.
In November, AROBS Engineering will be present at The Ministerial event hosted by ESA, where we will learn about its plans and objectives for the following five years.
Stay tuned for future insights! | aerospace |

In this competition, SNUSAT was in 3rd position in Mission Competition.
SNUSAT은 2014년 9월 8일부터 12일까지, 미국 네바다 Black Rock Desert에서 열린 ARLISS2014에 참가했습니다.
이 대회에서 SNUSAT은 Mission Competition 부문에서 3위를 차지했습니다.
Mission: Bring Back
The mission of SNUSAT in ARLISS 2014 was a Bring Back Mission. The mission is to find a landing spot of the satellite, pick it up and move the satellite towards the target spot by a rover.
This mission was suggested to simulate a resupply mission on a remote planet in which the rover navigates the package location, picks the package up and bring the package to the base(target spot).
SNUSAT의 ARLISS 2014 미션은 브링백 미션이었습니다. 이 미션은 로버가 3km 고도에서 낙하하여 착륙한 인공위성을 찾아서 집어 올리고, 목적지까지 운반하는 시나리오의 미션입니다.
이 미션은 외부 행성에 낙하한 보급 물자를 로버가 찾아서 기지까지 운반한다는 가상의 임무를 시뮬레이션하는 것으로 제안되었습니다.
