Auckland, The Helicopter Emergency Medical Services New Zealand Limited has selected Airbus’ H145.
Due to be delivered in the second half of 2019, the two helicopters will become the first HEMS-configured H145s to enter New Zealand, and will bolster the country’s capacity to provide modern, state-of-the-art air ambulance services in the nation’s south.
The two helicopters will be operated on the South Island by the consortium formed by Helicopters Otago (Dunedin) and GCH Aviation (Christchurch), and will become the flagship of their already in-service fleets of the BK117 and EC145.
In speaking of the new aircraft, Graeme Gale of Helicopters Otago said, “The Airbus H145 was our natural choice for offering air ambulance services. Airbus’ industry-leading safety features, reliability, and importantly, excellent internal space and rear clam shell doors, makes the H145 the perfect air ambulance, suited for any weather condition.”
The H145 is the market leader for emergency medical services and rescue missions, thanks to its exceptional HEMS heritage and safety record with its BK117 and EC145 predecessors. Its popularity is attributed to its high performance and spacious cabin, agility and ability to quickly convert from an air ambulance to other roles such as disaster relief or mountain rescue. The 4-tonne-class twin engine H145 is equipped with state-of-the-art Helionix avionics suite and 4-axis autopilot system, which helps to reduce pilot workload during missions.
With a global fleet of more than 1,400 helicopters of the H145 family, the fleet has accumulated more than five million flight hours. In New Zealand alone, there are currently 41 H145 family of helicopters deployed for aeromedical, search-and-rescue, utility and business aviation purposes. | aerospace |

It also goals for worldwide mobile smartphone provider after 2023. SpaceX began launching Starlink satellites in 2019. As of September 2022, Starlink includes over 3,000 small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO),which speak with unique ground transceivers. In total, nearly 12,000 satellites are deliberate to be deployed, with a probable later extension to forty 42,000. Starlink presents net access to over 500,000 subscribers as of June 2022.
The SpaceX satellite improvement facility in Redmond, Washington homes the Starlink research, development, production, and orbit manipulate groups. The price of the last decade-lengthy task to layout, construct, and set up the constellation become estimated by using SpaceX in may additionally 2018 to be as a minimum US$10 billion. SpaceX expects more than $30 billion in revenue by way of 2025 from its satellite tv for pc constellation, whilst sales from its launch business were predicted to attain $5 billion inside the same year.
Astronomers have raised worries approximately the constellations’ effect on ground-primarily based astronomy and how the satellites will add to an already congested orbital environment. SpaceX has attempted to mitigate astronomy concerns through imposing several upgrades to Starlink satellites aimed at lowering their brightness at some stage in operation. The satellites are geared up with krypton-fueled hall thrusters which permit them to de-orbit on the cease of their existence. additionally, the satellites are designed to autonomously keep away from collisions based on uplinked tracking facts.

Constellations of low Earth orbit satellites were first conceptualized in the mid-Nineteen Eighties as part of the Strategic protection Initiative, where guns were to be staged in orbit to intercept ballistic missiles on quick notice. The potential for low-latency communique became additionally identified and development offshoots inside the Nineties brought about severa commercial megaconstellations using around a hundred satellites which includes Celestri, Teledesic, Iridium, and Globalstar. however all entities entered bankruptcy by the dot-com bubble burst, due in component to immoderate launch charges at the time.
In June 2004, the newly fashioned company SpaceX received a stake in Surrey satellite generation (SSTL) as part of a “shared strategic vision”. SSTL turned into at that time working to increase the net into space.but, SpaceX’s stake turned into finally offered again to EADS Astrium in 2008 after the organisation have become extra targeted on navigation and Earth remark.
In early 2014, Elon Musk and Greg Wyler were reportedly working together making plans a constellation of round seven-hundred satellites known as WorldVu, which might be over 10 instances the dimensions of the then largest Iridium satellite tv for pc constellation. however, those discussions broke down via June 2014, and SpaceX rather filed an ITU utility via the Norway telecom regulator beneath the call STEAM. SpaceX showed the relationship within the 2016 application to license Starlink with the FCC. SpaceX trademarked the name Starlink for his or her satellite tv for pc broadband community; the name became stimulated via the book The Fault in Our Stars.
improvement phase (2015–2020)
The SpaceX satellite development facility, Redmond, Washington, in use from 2015 to mid-2018
Starlink changed into publicly introduced in January 2015 with the hole of the SpaceX satellite improvement facility in Redmond, WA. all through the outlet, Elon Musk said there’s nevertheless good sized unmet demand international for low-cost broadband abilities. and that Starlink would target bandwidth to hold as much as 50% of all backhaul communications traffic, and up to ten% of nearby net visitors, in high-density cities.
beginning with 60 engineers, the company operated in 2,800 m2 (30,000 sq.toes) of leased area, and by means of January 2017 had taken on a 2,800 m2 (30,000 squarefeet) second facility, each in Redmond. In August 2018, SpaceX consolidated all their Seattle-vicinity operations with a pass to a larger three-constructing facility at Redmond Ridge company center to assist satellite production in addition to R&D. In July 2016, SpaceX acquired a further 740 m2 (eight,000 sq.ft) creative space in Irvine, California (Orange County).The Irvine office would consist of signal processing, RFIC, and ASIC improvement for the satellite tv for pc application.
by means of October 2016, the satellite division changed into focusing on a vast business undertaking of attaining a sufficiently low-price design for the consumer gadget. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell stated then that the venture remained within the “layout phase because the company seeks to address troubles associated with person-terminal price”.
In November 2016, SpaceX filed an software with the FCC for a “non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite system within the constant-satellite service the usage of the Ku- and Ka- frequency bands”. In March 2017, SpaceX filed plans with the FCC to discipline a 2d orbital shell of more than 7,500 “V-band satellites in non-geosynchronous orbits to provide communications services” in an electromagnetic spectrum that has now not formerly been heavily hired for commercial communications services. called the “Very-Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) constellation”, it’d incorporate 7,518 satellites and could orbit at simply 340 km (210 mi) altitude, whilst the smaller, originally planned group of four,425 satellites would perform in the Ka- and Ku-bands and orbit at 1,200 km (750 mi) altitude.
In September 2017, the FCC ruled that 1/2 of the constellation must be in orbit inside six years to conform with licensing terms, even as the overall system must be in orbit within 9 years from the date of the license.
SpaceX filed documents in overdue 2017 with the FCC to clarify their area particles mitigation plan, below which the corporation was to:
"...put in force an operations plan for the orderly de-orbit of satellites nearing the quit in their beneficial lives (kind of five to seven years) at a fee a ways quicker than is needed under international requirements. [Satellites] will de-orbit via propulsively moving to a disposal orbit from which they will re-enter the Earth's atmosphere inside approximately 12 months after completion in their task."
Falcon 9 lifts off from Cape Canaveral Air pressure Station (CCAFS), Florida, delivering 60 Starlink satellites to orbit on 11 november 2019.
In March 2018, the FCC granted SpaceX acclaim for the preliminary 4,425 satellites, with a few situations. SpaceX would need to gain a separate approval from the international Telecommunication Union (ITU). The FCC supported a NASA request to ask SpaceX to reap a good higher stage of de-orbiting reliability than the standard that NASA had formerly used for itself: reliably de-orbiting 90% of the satellites after their missions are whole.
In may additionally 2018, SpaceX expected the overall fee of development and buildout of the constellation to method $10 billion. In mid-2018, SpaceX reorganized the satellite development department in Redmond, and terminated numerous participants of senior control.
In November 2018, SpaceX received U.S. regulatory approval to set up 7,518 broadband satellites, in addition to the four,425 approved earlier. SpaceX additionally made new regulatory filings with the U.S. FCC to request the capability to alter its formerly granted license to be able to perform about 1,600 of the four,425 Ka-/Ku-band satellites accredited for operation at 1,150 km (710 mi) in a “new lower shell of the constellation” at simplest 550 km (340 mi) orbital altitude. those satellites would correctly function in a 3rd orbital shell, a 550 km (340 mi) orbit, whilst the better and lower orbits at about 1,two hundred km (750 mi) and approximately 340 km (210 mi) would be used only later, once a drastically larger deployment of satellites becomes possible inside the later years of the deployment system. The FCC approved the request in April 2019, giving approval to location nearly 12,000 satellites in 3 orbital shells: first of all approximately 1,six hundred in a 550 km (340 mi) – altitude shell, and ultimately putting approximately 2,800 Ku- and Ka-band spectrum satellites at 1,a hundred and fifty km (710 mi) and approximately 7,500 V-band satellites at 340 km (210 mi). In total, almost 12,000 satellites have been deliberate to be deployed, with (as of 2019) a possible later extension to 42,000.
In February 2019, a sister enterprise of SpaceX, SpaceX offerings Inc., filed a request with the FCC to obtain a license for the operation of up to a million constant satellite tv for pc Earth stations that would speak with its non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite tv for pc Starlink machine.
In June 2019, SpaceX applied to the FCC for a license to test as much as 270 floor terminals – 70 national across the united states and two hundred in Washington state at SpaceX worker homes – and aircraft-borne antenna operation from 4 disbursed usa airfields; as well as 5 ground-to-floor take a look at places.
via late 2019, SpaceX was transitioning their satellite efforts from research and improvement to production, with the deliberate first launch of a huge group of satellites to orbit, and the clean want to gain a median launch rate of “44 high-performance, low-price spacecraft constructed and launched every month for the subsequent 60 months” to get the two,2 hundred satellites released to help their FCC spectrum allocation license assignment. SpaceX stated they’ll meet the cut-off date of having half the constellation “in orbit inside six years of authorization… and the overall machine in nine years”.
On 15 October 2019, the usa Federal Communications fee (FCC) submitted filings to the worldwide Telecommunication Union (ITU) on SpaceX’s behalf to arrange spectrum for 30,000 extra Starlink satellites to complement the 12,000 Starlink satellites already permitted by the FCC. That month, Elon Musk publicly tested the Starlink network by using an internet connection routed via the network to publish a first tweet to social media web page Twitter.
In November 2020, Starlink beta net carrier turned into opened to the general public. Starlink beta testers mentioned speeds over one hundred fifty megabits per second, above the variety introduced for the general public beta take a look at.

In February 2021, SpaceX opened up pre-orders to the public. SpaceX finished elevating an extra $3.five billion in fairness financing over the preceding six months, to guide the capital-intensive segment of the operational fielding of Starlink, plus the development of the Starship launch device. In April 2021, SpaceX clarified that they have got already tested generations of Starlink generation, with the second having been much less high priced than the primary. The third generation, with laser inter-satellite links, is anticipated to begin launching “in the following couple of months [and will be] an awful lot less luxurious than earlier variations”.
As of September 2022, SpaceX has over 2,3 hundred functioning Starlink satellites in orbit, and over 500,000 energetic subscribers. | aerospace |

We have a subway, airplanes, speed trains, electric cars – just choose. But let’s roll back in time to the day of the first outer space travel, when a great accomplishment has been to put the fundamentals of future space exploration.
The first outer space travel will remain one of the most significant events in the world’s modern history.
Before the first outer space travel
Humans desire to explore the unknown have always driven them to new inventions. The first experiments of creating a machine powerful enough to send you into space started at the beginning of the previous century. In the 30’s the first rockets suitable for long distance flights were already built. In the next year’s rockets were used as weapons, but despite their devastating effect, it was still a key discovery on the path of designing the future spacecraft.
The competition in space inventions between influential countries was harsh. The first flight became a key event, strengthening the rivalry between the Soviet Union and The US during the Cold War. Before the beginning of the 60’s both countries already had space programs, investing great financial and human resource in scientific research and construction of rockets. It was a matter of national dignity and advantage, both military and scientific, among other countries.
In 1957 the Soviet Union catapulted the first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1 and a month later Sputnik 2 with the famous dog Laika on board. It is thought the satellite Sputnik 1 orbited the Earth at a distance 250km. This was a huge breakthrough for the Soviets, giving motivation to the US to continue with their research.
The US catapulted their first satellite Explorer 1 a year later!
The first man to travel in outer space
The first human to travel outer space was the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin on 12 April 1961 on the board of Vostok 1. The spacecraft made one full circle on the orbit around our planet with duration of nearly two hours. This outstanding event put the beginning of human spaceflight.
Yuri Gagarin spent a long time in preparation for his outer space travel, training his mind and body for a trip no man ever made. He was physically and psychologically tested with experiments. Trained to be patient and focused inside the tight cockpit of the spacecraft.
Vostok 1 was followed by further attempts to send a man into outer space. Just a couple of weeks after Vostok 1, the American Alan Shepard made his suborbital flight. Followed by an actual orbital flight of Mercury-Atlas 6 with John Glenn on board.
The first outer space travel with a living person aboard encouraged scientist even more. The years between 1969 and 1972 six Apollo missions were carried out to explore the moon before the first flight to the planet. The moon was photographed, and with data collected, the astronauts were well prepared before they made the historic moon walk.
Many future space missions followed – The Mariner to map the surface of Mars. The Voyager sending information about Jupiter and Saturn, the space shuttle Columbia launched in 1981. The targets of explorations became even broader.
After the first decades of intense competition, finally, the big forces shook hands to create the International Space Station in 1998. None of this wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for the hunger of information about space.

At present (2012), there are roughly one thousand operational satellites, half of which are in near-Earth space, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists Satellite Database. But in addition to about 40 derelict satellites, the U.S. Space Surveillance Network is tracking more than 22,000 pieces of debris, each of which is larger than about 4 inches (10 cm), the reliable detection limit of their radars and telescopes. Only two weeks ago the explosion of a Russian upper stage rocket added over 500 large pieces of debris to the problem.

Investigators from the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority and the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board have not released information about the aircraft's cargo or the cause of the crash, but people familiar with the flight say the aircraft was carrying a large quantity of consumer electronics. Many such items, including laptop computers and cell phones, are powered by lithium-ion dell inspiron 9200 batteries, which have a known potential to overheat, catch fire and burn intensely.
Thick smoke from an on-board fire is known to have filled the cockpit of the three-year-old UPS aircraft, eventually making it impossible for the pilots to see the flight instruments.
In an attempt to return to Dubai, the aircraft overflew the Dubai International Airport before descending and crashing west of the Dubai Silicon Oasis complex. Both pilots were killed in the crash.
The aircraft's flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder were recovered and sent to the U.S. for analysis. Early indications pointed toward a fire originateing in the cargo hold. The fire warning occurred some 28 min. after takeoff from Dubai while the crew was in contact with Bahrain air traffic control. Now, the focus of suspicion of the cause is a consignment containing lithium sony vgp-bps8a batteries.
The concern by some airlines over the dangers of carrying lithium batteries has prompted individual bans of the batteries from the holds of their passenger aircraft. Many cargo operators insist that items containing lithium batteries are shipped in special packaging to minimize the fire risk. | aerospace |

From machines that fly through space to machines that grind over construction sites and farm fields, it’s tough to imagine how two industries could be more different.
However, not only are there ways that space technologies can be applied in the heavy equipment field, according to NASA Technology Transfer Strategist Steven Gonzalez, but the U.S. space program makes it simple and cheap for industry partners who want to tap into NASA’s deep well of expertise.
“The technologies that we discover along our path to space have benefits to life back here on Earth,” Gonzalez says. “Starting from the very beginning, we have been incentivized to use our technology to help improve life, and to create new markets and new industries from our technology.”
Gonzalez shared his insights with a group of members at AEM’s recent Thinking Forward event, which was held on location at the Houston Space Center and included a behind-the-scenes tour. And he also shared with AEM members some surprising examples of how NASA technologies have been incorporated in industries that are much closer to home.
“Unfortunately, most people, when they talk about technology transfer, they think of Tang, and they think of Velcro,” Gonzalez says. “Neither one of them actually came from NASA, but there are lots of more practical applications that did.”
The Surprising Ways NASA Technology Is Used in Other Fields
From zero gravity to the unforgiving nature of the space environment, NASA engineers find themselves solving some unique and challenging problems. And yet, sometimes their solutions find surprising new life in a field completely unrelated to their original deployment.
Gonzalez offers as one example how technology that allows astronauts to exercise in space is now being used to save the lives of premature babies in U.S. hospitals.
“Hospitals have had this challenge moving their premature infants from one room to another, or between hospitals,” Gonzalez says. “The vibration that they’re subjected to on the carrier would a lot of times damage their internal organs, and a lot of fatalities have resulted from that.”
Texas Children’s Hospital approached NASA in the hopes of finding a technology to dampen those vibrations, Gonzalez says. Together, they discovered the perfect solution in technology NASA had deployed years ago to deaden vibrations from astronauts’ exercise equipment that would interfere with sensitive scientific instruments.
“Now, these children are transported from facility to facility, room to room, as if on a sheet of glass,” Gonzalez says. “There are no vibrations and no more harm to these children.”
Additionally, the precision laser control systems that enable spacecraft to dock in orbit now guide procedures like LASIK eye surgery here on Earth. Mold control technology used to grow plants in space also protects wines as they’re aged in Napa Valley. And NASA nanotechnology is now powering new medical techniques to enable the targeted delivery of chemotherapy directly to cancerous cells.
Robotics, Autonomy, IoT and Other Technologies Equipment Manufacturers Can Use
A major part of the appeal for equipment manufacturers considering a technology partnership with NASA is the space agency’s considerable domain expertise in new and emerging technologies that will play a role in the next generation of construction and agriculture equipment.
“From space to wine, from tractors to irrigation, we are using NASA technology nowadays in ways we might not even be aware of,” Gonzalez says.
The poster child for this potential isn’t a human at all, but the robot that NASA dubbed “Robonaut.” Developed in partnership with General Motors to aid astronauts in physical and maintenance tasks in space, the robot utilizes advanced autonomy, sensor networks and robotic controls that have important applications in manufacturing as well.
“For the manufacturing industry, we created a glove that allows workers in an assembly plant to offload about 10 pounds of pressure from their wrist and their hand so they don’t get carpal tunnel from the repetitive motions,” Gonzalez says.
With technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and Internet of Things expected to play a greater role in heavy equipment, Gonzalez says OEMs should tap into NASA’s years of experience in those fields. NASA has already spent years developing solutions in those fields, he notes, and could help manufacturers avoid potential pitfalls along the way.
How NASA Makes Its Technology Available to Industry
Of course, the simplest answer to an OEM’s technology challenges is to just license a ready-developed solution. And for enterprises interested in licensing NASA technology, the space agency has prepared an easily-accessible menu of options.
At technology.NASA.gov, engineers can peruse a list of more than 1,400 NASA patents that are available to U.S. enterprises. They’re indexed into categories and summarized to make them easy to understand for engineers and designers from a variety of different backgrounds.
“We’re always surprised by inventors and other industries,” Gonzalez says. “They always find applications we never dreamed of for these technologies.”
Descriptions of the technology also include a clickable link, which leads developers to a simple form they can fill out to license a patent from NASA. The cost is minimal, Gonzalez says, and can be waived for start-ups over the course of several years.
NASA also offers more than 1,000 software applications that OEMs can plug into their own control systems, if they find a use for them.
“For a lot of the big data questions, a lot of data analytics, we have applications out there that other industries are embedding in their own code,” Gonzalez says. “There’s a whole range of software that’s available to the community.”
Yet Gonzalez notes that, out of the 1,400 patents NASA makes available for licensing, U.S. industries have only licensed about 14 percent of them.
“That still leaves a huge, untapped opportunity out there,” Gonzalez says. “Part of the challenge is that most people don’t think of NASA technology for Earth applications, so they just don’t think to come to us.”
“But there are many places where we have similar challenges,” Gonzalez adds. “So as your community is thinking about the challenges and technology investments they’re considering, they should look at NASA as a potential partner and see if we can work together to be able to benefit their industry.” | aerospace |

Co-op Experience: Robert E. Overton
"I feel that the co-op strengthened my previous outlook. It made me see what I could be doing once I graduate."
Co-op Employer: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
Semester at Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
Robert spent both his co-ops working atSikorsky Aircraft Corporation. Sikorsky Aircraft is a helicopter company that makes BLACKHAWKs, Seahawks, Firehawks, Superhawks, S92s, and S76s, to name a few – all primarily military aircrafts.
Robert’s first co-op was with the materials department, where he worked on a variety of unique development projects, including managing a program to determine the residual stresses in an aircraft part while coordinating offsite testing. Robert’s supervisor, aware of what Robert wished to gain from his time at Sikorsky Aircraft, ensured that he was able to get the most out of his experience.
“The more experience I got by working on certain projects, the more my responsibilities increased once they saw what kind of work I was capable of producing.”
Co-op’s contribution inside the classroom
The co-op has given Robert insight to his future, and it is helping him get the most out of the information he is learning in the classroom.
“After working in Sikorsky’s materials department, I took a material class at Wentworth. Most of the things I learned about in class and in the labs I was already working with on the job as everyday assignments. It definitely aided in my classroom experience.”
Robert returned to Sikorsky Aircraft for his second co-op. To experience a different part of the business, he is working in the failure analysis engineering group, specifically on the prevention of helicopters failures. Currently, Robert is involved with the metallurgical analysis of gear steel material in support of the BLACKHAWK helicopter. He is measuring the micro-hardness of over thirty pieces of material while providing the materials engineers with the data in a concise, accurate method.
“I could definitely see myself working in a similar position, which is why I went back to Sikorsky Aircraft for another co-op. I really enjoyed it and it taught me a lot.”

Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg as the grounding of the 737 Max hits the seven-month mark.
波音737 Max飛機停飛長達7個月了，對波音公司首席執行官Dennis Muilenburg來說局勢越來越嚴峻。
The board removed him as chairman Oct. 11 after the close of the workweek, saying the change would enable Muilenburg to focus on returning Boeing's best-selling jet to service.
The directors expressed support for Muilenburg but pledged "active oversight" as they handed his chairman's post to lead director David Calhoun, who has been mentioned in years past as a potential Boeing CEO.
The Friday-evening shakeup weakens Muilenburg, 55, as he tries to get the Max back in the air this quarter and prepares for a crucial appearance before Congress on Oct. 30.
Boeing's reputation and finances have been battered since two Max crashes killed 346 people and prompted a global grounding, and U.S. regulators have yet to schedule a crucial test flight needed to re-certify the plane.
"If they're on course for re-certification in the fourth quarter as they maintain, then he could hang on," Richard Aboulafia, an aerospace analyst at Teal Group, said of Muilenburg. "If it slips much beyond then, then his job is definitely at risk." | aerospace |

Emirates has announced that it will suspend flights to nine US airports: Boston, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, Miami, Newark, Orlando, San Francisco and Seattle. He said he would continue to fly to John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, Los Angeles Airport and Washington Dulles.
Air India has announced that it will suspend service between Delhi airport and San Francisco, Chicago and JFK. It will also suspend a Mumbai-Newark flight.
It will continue to fly to Dulles International Airport in Washington DC.
Both ANA and Japan Airlines have announced that they have canceled some flights to the United States that were to use Boeing 777s, but will instead operate some flights using Boeing 787s.
Transportation regulators were already concerned that the version of 5G due to be activated in January could interfere with some aircraft instruments, and many aviation industry groups shared those fears, despite assurances from federal telecom regulators and wireless operators.
Specifically, the Federal Aviation Administration has expressed concern that 5G cellular antennas near certain airports — and not air travellers’ mobile devices — could skew readings from certain aircraft equipment designed to tell pilots at what point. distance they are from the ground. These systems, known as radar altimeters, are used throughout a flight and are considered critical equipment. (Radar altimeters differ from standard altimeters, which rely on atmospheric pressure readings and do not use radio signals to measure altitude.)
“We are frustrated with the FAA’s failure to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5G technology without disrupting aviation services, and we urge it to do so in a timely manner. “, said Megan Ketterer, spokeswoman for AT&T. .
In a Tuesday letter, the CEOs of 10 airlines asked the Biden administration to push back the already-delayed rollout. Airlines estimate there are 1,000 flight disruptions a day due to possible interference with radar altimeters that pilots use to land in low visibility conditions. The telecoms industry did not comment on the letter, but said the fears were unfounded as there were no issues in other countries where 5G is already being rolled out. | aerospace |

I decided to try drawing with dark grey felt tip instead of my usual black.
The drawing is an interpretation of a scientific photograph of erosion on Mars. The photographs that have been coming out of NASA's missions to Mars are just visually beautiful as well as being scientifically important. I'm a big fan of the scientific exploration of space, plus NASA is also doing a lot of important work here on Earth, such as documenting the changes in the ice levels at the polar caps.
Interestingly, NASA also has a long history of working collaboratively with artists.

May 16, 2012
NASA astronaut Mike Good and Bob McDonald, host of CBC Radio’s Quirks & Quarks, will speak at the launch of the first space-themed open house at the University of Guelph. “Bringing Space Down to Earth” will take place June 2.
The family-friendly event will showcase “out-of-this-world” research in various disciplines across campus, said organizer Leah Bent, a professor in the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences.
Geography professor Aaron Berg will discuss space-based monitoring of climate change and impacts on water supply. Visitors may tour the Controlled Environment Systems Research Facility for growing plants in space, run by Prof. Mike Dixon, School of Environmental Sciences. Attend a talk and video demonstration about a device on a Mars rover bound for the red planet that was developed by an international group of scientists led by physics professor Ralf Gellert.
“It’s exciting to be able to share this interactive science experience with the community,” said Bent. “The university’s Centre for Open Learning and Educational Support and Ph.D student Catherine Lowrey were pivotal in putting this special day together. Our hope is that others will become as fascinated with space as we’ve become and realize how findings from space research can be applied right here on Earth.”
By studying skin receptors in astronauts’ feet after space flight, Bent hopes to help improve balance in Earth-bound seniors. Her “hyper-sole” study is funded by the Canadian Space Agency.
The daylong event in Rozanski Hall will begin with a welcome by Michael Emes, dean of the College of Biological Science, and a keynote talk by McDonald.
An internationally renowned science communicator for more than 30 years, McDonald chairs Geospace, a new environmental centre and planetarium planned for the Toronto waterfront. He has received six honorary doctorates, including one from U of G; he was appointed to the Order of Canada in 2011.
He and Good will discuss the future of space research.
Good was a crew member during space shuttle missions to the Hubble Space Telescope in 2009 and the International Space Station in 2010. He has spent 25 days in space and almost 30 hours on four space walks.
The U of G event will also feature graduate Kris Lehnhardt, who is studying to become an astronaut.
Let’s Talk Science, a national charitable organization for improving science literacy, will run hands-on science activities for youth at the event. Since 2008, a U of G chapter has run activities for local schools and youth groups.

Without this certification both the pilot and the one hiring him is potentially subject to liability claims and fines.
A commercially FAA certified drone pilot may perform various services besides standard still and video photography. Drones can inspect high difficult to reach places like certain rooftops or towers. If you feel you might have a need for drone services give John Hudetz a call at 815-557-1926.

The main incentive to go to the moon was compeition with the russians, the USA feared they would get there first and claim it. This had strategic implications for star wars, whoever controlle the moon could control earth with Moon base missiles.
However the USSR couldnt afford star wars, or to colonise the moon. In reality their economy was one third of USA, and even USA was struggling to keep up with expense of moon landing.
Also USA trying to save money had to cut corners which led toi the death of several astronauts, space travel became unpopular.
To save money they switched to Shuttles and unmanned space flights.
Shuttles were not suited for Moon Flights and proved not to be as cheap as they had hoped.
The moon is not a planet, its a lifeless asteroid, the ability to travel into deeper space was more exciting, but the long journey times would not suit humans, hence the switch to robots.
Meanwhile space stations became more efficient and had a better payload. Ironically the USA turned to the Russians to help keep space stations active.
One last irony is that China now has a moon landing programme. I suspet it would break their economy, unless they give up after a landing or two. It could of course get the yanks back in the race. Meanwhile I amoving this to off topic as no football played on moon

The early morning flight check in delays at the Thai Airways counters in Suvarnabhumi Airport was caused by a lack of check-in staff at the Thai Airways counters, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand.
For their part, Thai Airways conceded they were under-staffed and that “more staff will now be added”. Airline executives were on the scene trying to sort out the delays and keep passengers informed of the situation. They also deny that anyone missed flights because of the check-in mayhem.
Despite Friday’s early morning queues for Thai Airways flights, 24 of the national carrier’s planes remain mothballed or in-waiting for a return to services, and have been parked in the same spots for most of the last 2 years. Two of the airline’s monster A380 planes still have their engine covers on and gathering dust while The Thaiger counted at least 6 Boeing 777 planes, mostly used for international flights, that continue to wait for a return to service at the northern end of the airport’s apron.
As Thailand’s borders re-open and travel restrictions continue to be eased, international travel is starting to pick up, albeit slowly. Domestic travel has stagnated since the April flourish of tourists which included a major lifting of restrictions on April 1 (removing all testing for vaccinated travellers), Songkran and a long weekend.
Since April there’s been a levelling off of domestic travel although international arrivals have been gradually picking up. All domestic airlines are still operating on a much-reduced schedule of destinations and flight frequency. There are also three Thai airlines now under administration working through their bankruptcy – Thai Airways, Nok Air and Thai Air Asia X (not their domestic division).
Local flights around Thailand still require passengers to wear masks at all times, socially distance inside the terminal (although it doesn’t seem to matter on the planes), and there’s still no catering services available on flights at this stage.
Tourism officials are expecting inbound travel to start picking up more swiftly over the next few weeks. In April Thailand welcomed 293,350 foreign arrivals, an increase of 39% from March. About 60-70% of these are thought to be people travelling for tourism. | aerospace |

Wednesday, July 21, 2004Airbus and Boeing are both forecasting a recovery in demand for aircraft after a three-year slump. Airbus is the more bullish of the two, having delivered more planes than its American rival for the first time last year. This ascendancy has led Boeing to renew its complaints about subsidies to Airbus.There are conflicting signs as to which way the airline industry is going. There is a rash of new low-cost airlines, many of which want nimble, short-haul Boeing 737s, or something similar. As for long-haul flights, some airlines value the number of seats above all, others fuel efficiency. On Sunday July 18th, on the eve of Farnborough, Boeing was able to boast that it had received downpayments for 200 7E7s—from Japan’s ANA, Air New Zealand, First Choice and Blue Panorama, among others. Two days later, Airbus crowed about a 24-strong order from Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, including four A380s.Overall, Airbus’s order book continues to look better than Boeing’s.

Airplanes and the idea of flight fascinated me as a young boy. I remember the anticipation of traveling to far away places with my family and could not wait to sit down in my blastoff seat and buckle up.
One of my favourite things to do on the airplane was to check the flight log application on the tv in front of me. My brother would watch movies and I was the weird kid constantly clicking the screen to show the temperature, altitude and flight path along the journey. The movement changed very little minute by minute but sitting there watching the small airplane move was enough entertainment for me.
Last night I set out to make my own flight log visualization app using the google maps api.

Nuku’alofa- His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Tupouto’a ‘Ulukalala and Crown Princess, Sinaitakala Tuku’aho were Guest of Honours at the commissioning of the new Lulutai aircraft at the Fua’amotu Domestic Airport, this morning.
Today we are adding a third aircraft to Lulutai Airline’s fleet and there is potential for additional aircraft in the near future,” the Hon Prime Minister, Hu’akavameiliku told guests during his key note address.
The Twin Otter is well suited for Tonga’s outer islands. The aircraft has short takeoff and landing capabilities. The Twin Otter will be at ease in the dirt and grass airports of the two Niuas, as well as the short runway in ‘Eua. It can easily handle the high altitude runway in Vava’u and the low sea level airport in Ha’apai.
The Hon Hu’akavameiliku acknowledged the commitment of the Government of Australia, to Tonga’s economic development.
“Your Excellency Racheal Moore, without your Government’s financial and technical support, today would not have been possible. The commissioning today is a significant milestone in the Tonga Australia relationship, and a project that will continue to provide benefits for many years to come not just for Tongans but also for visitors to our shore.”
Lulutai Airlines began operations with two (2) aircraft in September 2020 in the middle of the covid 19 pandemic. Tonga in 2022 experienced the Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai natural disaster, where Lulutai cancelled all flights to show how safety came first.
The commissioning program was also attended by Ministers of the Crown, Members of Parliament, Australian High Commissioner Rachael Moore and members of Diplomatic Corps, Church Leaders, Aviation Stakeholders and guests. | aerospace |

MOSCOW — After 233 days in a locked steel capsule, six researchers on a 520-day mock flight to Mars are all feeling strong and ready to “land” on the Red Planet, the mission director said Friday.
The all-male crew of three Russians, a Chinese, a Frenchman and an Italian-Colombian has been inside windowless capsules at a Moscow research center since June. Their mission aims to help real space crews in the future cope with the confinement and stress of interplanetary travel.
233 days inside a steel tube. Just the thought of such an endeavor makes me almost hyperventilate. Now imagine doing so in outer space where the risk of brutal, excruciating death is exponentially greater.

I wish to congratulate Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor for being the first Malaysian blast off to the outer space. Nevertheless, I hope he will not be the last because I wish our Prime Minister, Dollah Kaki Tidur will follow suit. Although Jeanne, I believe can confirmed that Dollah has been there many times during his napping at the official functions.
Somehow, few things really disturbed me lately.
First, Dr. Sheikh was actually unveiled in Johnson Space Centre on the 23rd of July 2007, much earlier than our PM made the official announcement to all Malaysian. Second, while in Johnson Space Centre, Dr Sheikh was announced as Spaceflight Participant and not as Astronaut like his fellow comrades who were going to be blast off with him.
On July 23rd, NASA in their official released made this statement “The Expedition 16 crew members pose for a portrait at the Johnson Space Center. From the left (front row) are Russia’s Federal Space Agency cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, flight engineer and Soyuz commander; astronaut Peggy Whitson, commander; and Malaysian spaceflight participant Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor. From the left (back row) are European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Léopold Eyharts, astronaut Garrett Reisman and astronaut Dan Tani, all flight engineers” Below is the photograph.
Spaceflight Participant is merely a member of space tourism and Wikipedia has this to explain (read).
Wikipedia also has this on the Malaysia Space Programme.
I post 2 questions to “someone in the know”, first, is it true that Dr Sheikh has officially been selected before 23rd July 2007 and second, is it true that he is merely a Space Tourist and not Angkasawan.
This is the replied that I got, “He was the first choice but confirmation only after Russian Medical Board made their assessment. PM only confirm on behalf of Malaysian. Russian recognised (Dr. Sheikh) as cosmonaut. By strict definition, memang out”.
So, I put to you that when our Prime Minister made the announcement early in September, he has lied to all Malaysian.
“Malaysia on Monday unveiled its first astronaut, a 34-year-old doctor who will blast off on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft and visit the International Space Station in September 2007.
Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor was the winner of a nationwide hunt which drew tens of thousands of hopefuls. Army dentist Faiz Khaleed, 26, was chosen as the back-up astronaut, or “angkasawan” as they are known in the Malay language.
“I pray to God that he will ensure the success of your mission and raise the profile of Malaysia in the international arena,” Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said at a ceremony to announce the winning candidates (more)”.
Prime Minister announced that Dr. Sheikh as first Malaysian Astronaut but he is not qualified to be consider as one. He is qualified as Cosmonaut and that is only after huge sum of money being agreed to the Russian.
So, Dr. Sheikh as a space tourist should then be allowed to play congkat in space after all. He should be allowed to eat rendang and ketupat. He should be allowed to do what tourist did.
No wonder, Dr. Mazlan from Pusat Sains Negara has all sorts of weird and not so serious things that she wanted our Angkasawan to perform in the outer space. After all, we only spent few billion Ringgit of taxpayer money to purchase the Russian made aircraft so we can send someone to tour the space.
Bravo, that is truly Malaysia Boleh! | aerospace |

A new report by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) said artificial intelligence pilots have fared “better than humans” in the field. These AI systems, designed to “sharpen the sword” for PLA Air Force pilots, managed to shoot down their human counterparts in simulated dogfights. The Chinese military’s foray into AI technologies for its air force is the latest step in China’s mission to create a modern flying force.
The AI pilots were deployed to help human pilots hone their decision making and combat skills. It added that aside from just pilot training, AI will become an integral part of future Chinese aircraft and help pilots with combat decisions. Furthermore, the AI pilots can also learn from each engagement, and have already performed better than human opponents. PLA Air Force flight brigade team leader and fighter ace Fang Guoyu found himself shot down by one of the AI pilots during one instance, according to the Chinese military’s official newspaper.
Fang showed off his flying skills and won one round of combat. But the AI managed to turn the tables during the next round by using the skilled fighter pilot’s same technique against him, emerging triumphant. The ace pilot explained that while the AI-piloted aircraft was easy to defeat in the early stages of training, it eventually learned from its human opponent. “The move with which you defeated it today will be in its hands tomorrow,” he said. Fang compared the AI pilots to the extraordinary human pilots who win the Golden Helmet air combat contests in China. He said: “It’s like a digital ‘Golden Helmet’ pilot that excels at learning, assimilating, reviewing, and researching.”
Meanwhile, brigade commander Du Jianfeng told the PLA Daily that AI systems are increasingly being integrated into training. He also praised the AI’s ability to handle aircraft skillfully and make tactical decisions flawlessly. “The AI has shown adept flight control skills and errorless tactical decisions, making it a valuable opponent to hone our capabilities,” Du said. The brigade commander added that the AI pilots serve to “sharpen the sword” of Chinese fighter pilots as it forces them to become more innovative with their technique.

To put things simply, a drone pilot is none other than the operator who operates the drone – an aerial vehicle. Commercial drone pilots are the ones who usually fly the drones for various government agencies, companies, businesses, or at times, even for the military groups. The primary function of a drone is to collect images or data.
If you are looking ahead to become a drone pilot, you should always start by getting some training sessions done for the same. You must be aware of the technicalities before you start counting yourself as a professionally trained drone pilot.
How to become a drone pilot?
Drone pilots usually work in different sectors. They include marketing and surveying industries, different real estate agencies, construction companies, entertainment groups, insurance companies, and even the safety industries. Here are a few skills that you must have to become a drone pilot:
Have the basic knowledge of a meteorologist
It is essential to ensure that you are aware of the weather conditions, cloud formation, air pressure reports, and the isobars if you are actually planning on becoming a drone pilot. All these data and details should be within reach of your fingertips in order to become a successful individual in your career.
Should have the perfection for flying a drone
Things might appear to be amateurish or jerky if your videos and images aren’t snapped right. Therefore, you must have the expertise in the technique for conducting aerial video calls. You need to own the art of executing cinematic drone maneuvers while you are in flight. Also, you should have a good sense of the science of lift, drag, and aerodynamics.
How to become a certified drone pilot?
Here are a few things that you need to know about in order to become a certified drone pilot.
If you are going to operate nano or micro-drones for non-commercial purposes, you might not require a pilot license. However, if you aspire to fly any other type of drone, you must have a certification from any institute that is authorized by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
To fly a drone, you need to meet the eligibility criteria of being at least 18 years of age and passing the 10th standard. Only then you will be fit to join a reputed training institute. Besides, you will also have to go through a background check conducted by a government agency. | aerospace |

Have you ever wondered how rockets travel at such a fast speed
Rockets are important for many reasons.
Two of these reasons include that rockets are used to explore beyond the clouds and sky and they are used as a weapon in combat.
Robert Goddard was a scientist that made the fastest rocket in the world.
Although Robert made the fastest rocket on earth, many people don’t know about him and his scientific invention.
This paper will describe Robert’s background and history, how he made his rockets, and why they are known as a big discovery in this world. Robert Goddard died on August 10 1945.
Robert was born on October 5, 1882 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
When he was in his teens, he loved to study rockets.
Later in his life, he made a rocket faster than the speed of sound.
Eight years before he made the rocket he had a vision, thinking about how it would be so cool to have a device that could fly all the way to the moon without stopping.
One year after the speed rocket was made, he made another rocket.
This rocket was twice the speed and traveled two point seven miles without turning back.Robert was so determined to make the rocket that he launched his first one in the middle of the street during broad daylight.
The police came and thought it was a gunshot but he told them that he was just doing a project.
The police later told him that he could not launch rockets’ in the street.
They also told him that he had to launch them in big fields.
Later in the 1950s, he began a new job working with the U.S. military.
Robert worked in the air force department.
His rockets that flew in the 1940s were small but were more complicated than the super-fast V2 missile that was going to be launched against Europe two years later.
This is Robert Goddard posing
Robert Goddard made many different rockets with different methods each time.
The method for his first rocket was to have a spring on the back of the rocket, have a really heavy pendulum dangling behind it, and then let the pendulum go so it will hit the spring and the rocket would fly.
Robert added on to another rocket scientist’s idea for his second method which was to put a nozzle on the back of the rocket right in front of the jet wheel.
For his third method he thought that putting the rocket head above the fuel tank would make the launch more stable.
Since this third rocket was fueled by liquid he had to put the gas inside a tube and pump it into the rocket until the rocket was full. For the last step he let the rocket burn for twenty seconds and then launched it.
This rocket flew about fifty feet high and got unstable and fell back to the ground.
Rockets are important because they provide defense in the military and in the army.
Robert’s invention was significant because it convinced the government to believe that rockets could be powered by liquid fuel.
His rockets were also important because they were the first rocket to launch in battle.
Robert always made sure everything was in order no matter what it was he had a long checklist to make sure everything was ok before he launched the rocket.
When Robert went to the military, he worked on rockets.
This was very important to the military because his rockets helped them defeat Mexico in their first battle.
The military thought of Robert as a gift from heaven because of this defeat.
Robert Goddard was a scientist who made missiles and rockets that flew off of liquid fuel.
In 1915, he demonstrated that rocket engines could be fueled by liquid but nobody believed him so he did it on his own.
Later after he made the rocket that was faster than the speed of sound, the government saw the proof of his idea. Thankfully, many people have used his invention in many ways, such as protecting our country.

Chalmers Flying club's flight school started in 1963, with the first pilot graduating in 1964. Since then, we have been dedicated to flight training and are today one of the older flight schools in Sweden.
To get the privilege to fly yourself, you need to start by getting a pilot's licence. With us you can choose between a PPL or LAPL. Both licences give you the freedom to operate single-engine piston aircraft under VFR (Visual Flight Rules), during daylight hours. This means that you cannot fly in clouds, poor visibility or darkness.
The theoretical training is the same for both licences, while the practical training differs in flight time and content.
Having trouble deciding whether to take a PPL or LAPL?

The combination of altitude and the orbit's inclination results in a sun-synchronous orbit: this makes the satellite pass over the same places on earth at the same hour of the day.
NOAA-18 was launched on May 20th, 2005 at 02:22 UTC. It contains a large number of scientific experiments, of which only the meteorological part is of easy use. NOAA-18 was launched with the intention of having an 'afternoon'-satellite, with passes in between NOAA-17 and -12 and -15.
Though the satellite registers images in 5 spectral bands, from visible light to infrarred, the complete information is only available over the high speeds SHF downlink (HRPT on 1690 MHz). The simpler APT doenlink, designed for low-budget reception, is only capable of transmitting two of the 5 spectral bands, and at about 1/4 of the original resolution.

From January to May, the aviation fuel price has risen from US$0.46 to about US$1.69 per liter, a nearly 370% increase in five months.
Globally, the fuel price has risen in 2022. According to the price tracker, the jet fuel price ended at US$174.4 per barrel, a 149.4% increase compared to the previous year.
No airline in the world can absorb this kind of sudden shock from such an astronomical rise over a short period. While aviation fuel worldwide is said to cost about 40% of an airline’s operating cost globally, the present hike has shot up most of African airlines’ operating cost to about 95%.
Sean Mendis, an international aviation consultant, portends that the struggle with access to jet fuel at whatever price due to the removal of a big chunk of Russian production capacity from the market portends that this could lead to higher airfares in the medium term.
He tells AviationGhana that: “The reality is that fuel accounts for 30-40% of an airline’s operating costs, so with the 30-40% increase as well in the fuel cost, that means a 10-15% increase in the cost for an airline to transport each passenger. As a result, airlines have no real option in the medium to long term than to increase their prices accordingly. The issue in Africa is not just the fuel price, but the actual shortage of the physical commodity in some places even for airlines willing to pay.
“Johannesburg for example is unable to meet the demand of the airlines flying there, forcing them to divert to Durban or Windhoek or Harare to fill up their tanks all this has additional costs and those inevitably get passed on to passengers directly as increased fuel surcharges or indirectly through higher fares,” Mr. Mendis added.
Air Zimbabwe in the morning advised its valued passengers and other stakeholders of an anticipated flight schedule disruption due to Jet A1 fuel shortages at the airports.
The airline said its suppliers had advised them of constraints in the movement of the product which has cascaded along the entire value chain to the aviation firm as the final consumer of the product
“The National Airline shall endeavour to update passengers on the flight schedule changes at the earliest possible time as we continue to monitor the supply situation,” said in a statement.
Some international airlines whose suppliers still cannot guarantee enough jet fuel supplies at OR Tambo International Airport currently have to detour via Durban or even Windhoek to refuel.
Since late April, jet fuel supplies have been constrained at the airport.
No more flights in Nigeria
In a letter sent by the executive directors of nine Nigerian carriers, the association Airline Operators of Nigeria informed it will shut down its commercial operations amidst the high cost of jet A1 fuel.
The letter was signed by Max Air, Ibom Air, Aero Contractors, Overland Airways, Air Peace, United Nigeria Airlines, Arik Air, Azman Air, and Dana Air. It was sent to the Nigerian Minister of Aviation.
Over the last few months, these airlines, “with a great sense of responsibility and patriotism,” have carried on flying their weekly services and “subsidizing their services to our highly esteemed Nigerian flying public, despite the steady and astronomical hike in the price of JetA1.” – HARARE | aerospace |

At the end of May, the Lufthansa Group made the decision not to fly over the territory of the former Soviet republic until June 20 after a Belarusian fighter jet forced a Ryanair aircraft to land in Minsk.
The passenger plane was going from Athens to Vilnius and after landing the Belarusian authorities arrested the government critic Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega, who were on board.
The Lufthansa Group, made up of Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo, Swiss and Eurowings, will reconsider shortly before the expiry of the deadline whether or not to extend the measure.
Following the event in late May, the European Union (EU) asked European airlines to avoid Belarusian airspace. Since June 5, Belarusian airlines have not re-entered the EU airspace due to the express prohibition of the bloc states. | aerospace |

Rana and Flight Lieutenant Advitiya Bal.
Flight Lieutenant Advitiya Bal belonged to R.S. Pura area of Jammu.
Wing Commander Rana hailed from Himachal Pradesh and Flight Lieutenant Bal from Jammu, an IAF official said while releasing the names to the media on Friday.
The two pilots were killed when their twin-seater MiG-21 aircraft crashed during a training sortie near Barmer in the desert State. The IAF said the aircraft was on a sortie from the Utarlai air base and the accident occurred around 9.10 p.m.
Air headquarters has already ordered a court of inquiry to ascertain the cause of the accident.
MiG-21s were the mainstay of the IAF for a long time. However, the aircraft has had a very poor safety record of late.
In March, Minister of State for Defence Ajay Bhat said in the Rajya Sabha that 42 defence personnel were killed in accidents involving aircraft and helicopters of the three services in the last five years.
The total number of air accidents in the last five years was 45, out of which 29 involved IAF’s platforms. | aerospace |

After lifting off near Van Horn, Texas minutes before 11 a.m., Blue Origin’s New Shepard accomplished the company’s second successful crewed mission to space, carrying Shatner, Planet Labs co-founder Chris Boshuizen, Medidata Solutions co-founder Glen de Vries and Blue Origin’s vice president of mission and flight operations Audrey Powers.
It was not only a milestone for Shatner, but also a history-making one as the actor is the oldest person to reach space at 90 years old. While it’s an undeniably special moment, it doesn’t sound like Shatner has any interest in relocating. “The thing I really want to do,” he previously told Today, “is come back down.” In a matter of just over 10 minutes, the crew returned back to Earth in their capsule and Shatner got his wish. | aerospace |

How Does Flight Share Work?
Aviation companies or private pilots offer different flights. They have the choice between "fix price offers" and "cost sharing".
Fix price: Fix price for every passenger, independent of the aircraft occupancy.
Cost sharing: Prices drop with aircraft occupancy. The more passengers, the cheaper it gets.
Booking requests: Your booking request is sent to the aviation company/pilot. They will contact you directly by e-mail and give you further instructions. Sending a booking request is not a flight confirmation. The contract later on will be between you and the offeror. Send a booking request even if you just have a question to the offeror.
Important to know: goVFR.com/AirCollect.com is an exchange platform and not a tour operator or travel agency. We do not take any responsibility that the offered flights are performed nor that the offeror is permitted to perform such services.

Haze and dust from industrial activity blanket low-lying regions of eastern China and northern India, two latest satellite pics expose.
The pictures, demonstrating the extent of pollution, were captured by two NASA satellites – Aqua and Terra – using an muziekinstrument called the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS).
Aqua, which captures pics te the afternoon, took the picture of Eastern China on 17 November, when a gray haze draped overheen the coastal plain around the Yellow Sea and spilled out overheen the Yellow Sea (centre right of photo).
The smog is most likely churned out by the country’s coal-fuelled power plants, smoke from fireplaces te individual homes, and voertuig harass and pollution from nearby Beijing and Tianjin. “This type of haze event is common ter this part of China,” says Jon Ranson, Terra project scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center ter Greenbelt, Maryland, US.
(Photo&colon, Jesse Allen/MODIS Rapid Response Team/NASA)
Terra, which captures pictures te the morning, snapped the picture of haze along the foothills of the Himalayan mountains ter northern India on 15 November. The haze spreads from the southern Bay of Bengal to the mouth of the Ganges Sea (centre right of picture). But it clears overheen the Tibetan Plateau to the north of the Himalayas (top of pic).
“The Himalayas are certainly acting spil a barrier to keep the smoke and pollution te that particular region,” Ranson told Fresh Scientist. “The smoke and other pollutants back up against the mountains.”
Terra and Aqua, launched ter 1999 and 2002, are “part of NASA’s programme to understand the Earth spil a system”, says Ranson. “We’re making measurements of the atmosphere and the ground and their switches and attempting to understand the factors causing those switches.”
Ter fact, NASA signed an agreement on Thursday to share gegevens from its Earth-observation satellites with the World Conservation Union – the world’s largest environmental skill network.
The gegevens will be made available to the union’s 1000 member organisations – which include government agencies ter both developed and developing countries – to aid environmental policy decisions. It could also be used to ordner the world’s 100,000 protected areas, many of which are difficult to access.
“This chance for NASA to help advance conservation efforts globally reinforces our vision to use our unique vantage from space to improve life here on Earth,” says NASA’s deputy associate administrator for science, Ghassem Asrar. | aerospace |

Oxygen reduction fire prevention system to suppress or extinguish fire within a pressurized cabin
Most research related to the aircraft fire safety is aimed at developing improved fire-resistant materials for aircraft interiors. Meanwhile, there is no efficient method in place to directly prevent, suppress or extinguish fire within a pressurized cabin.
FirePASS® can be implemented in passenger aircraft in four modifications. FirePASS® technology being already in use for fuel tank fire & explosion prevention. FirePASS® can work as a suppression system for installation on current airplanes that pressurize at altitudes above 1500 m, as a preventative measure for future aircrafts that will be pressurized on the ground or as a combination of both.
A fire onboard of an aircraft is easily extinguishable using a specially developed FirePASS-SC agent, which provides a safe environment for passengers and crew. This system can store and release hypoxic fire suppression agent FirePASS-SC that will instantly suppress any fire without affecting passengers’ ability to breath. Upon its release, the agent floods the passenger cabin creating a human-breathable fire-extinguishing atmosphere. Aboard an aircraft pressurized at 2000 meters such an emergency atmosphere would correspond (in partial pressure of oxygen) to an altitude of 4000 meters, which is absolutely safe for the time needed to localize the fire source and eliminate the possibility of a secondary ignition or, alternatively, to descend to a lower altitude. The increased content of carbon dioxide helps to counterbalance the effect of hypoxia in the human body.
FirePASS® in prevention mode is designed for installation in future aircraft and space vehicles pressurized on the ground. The system creates an artificial atmosphere with fire-extinguishing properties that is maintained and constantly regenerated by an on-board air-regeneration or life-support system. This atmosphere contains 16% of oxygen, which corresponds in partial pressure to an altitude of 2200 m. and is absolutely safe for anyone.
Good news: Now with new FirePASS® patented technology, there will no longer be fires in space! Space stations and vehicles can be made completely safe from fire hazard by maintaining the oxygen content below 16% in their internal environment.
FAA adopted FirePASS technology
FirePASS® proudly announces that the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) adopted FirePASS technology and ruled to use it for protecting fuel tanks on all commercial airplanes. In 2009 the Boeing Company and Honeywell International obtained a license from FirePASS Corporation for use in Airplanes. | aerospace |
https://forumvirium.fi/en/release/delivery-of-pharmacy-products-by-drone-is-tested-in-helsinki/ | 2023-03-31T01:01:46 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-14/segments/1679296949506.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20230330225648-20230331015648-00251.warc.gz | 0.904035 | 1,314 | CC-MAIN-2023-14 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-14__0__273546244 | en | At the end of August, a new way of transporting pharmacy products to customers will be tested in Helsinki. In a week-long trial, the products of Lauttiksen Apteekki pharmacy, located in Lauttasaari area, will be flown by drone to Jätkäsaari area.
The aim of the pilot is to gather experiences on the suitability of drones for the transport of pharmacy products and to test a new service concept with genuine customers. Electric drones have the potential to reduce emissions of the traditional logistics industry. Other advantages of drones are speed and the ability to make deliveries to locations where there are few services on their own or which are difficult to access, such as islands.
The flights will take place from 24th to 29th of August, 2021. The pharmacy products ordered by the customer are packed in temperature-controlled packaging, which is then flown from Lauttasaari to Saukontori in Jätkäsaari. The deliveries are subject to weather conditions.
The pilot is part of Jätkäsaari Mobility Lab project, which is coordinated by the City of Helsinki and Forum Virium Helsinki. The goal of the project is to help companies pilot new services and technologies in a real urban environment. Forum Virium Helsinki currently has several parallel projects underway to test drone transports. The projects explore, for example, how drones can be used to help with health care needs. The City of Helsinki will receive information from the experiments on how to prepare for the growth of drone operations in urban planning and what kind of role cities will play as an operating environment for unmanned and manned aerial vehicles in the future.
Quick delivery from the pharmacy to the customer
Lauttiksen Apteekki pharmacy sees new possibilities in drone deliveries, as they enable the customer to be reached quickly, at anytime and without the customer having to go to the pharmacy to do business.
“The tasks of pharmacies are becoming more diverse all the time. Preparing for future requirements and staying at the forefront of development require innovation, product development and willingness to try new technologies. In the future, drones flying in the sky could be a quick way to transport, for example, pharmacy e-commerce products directly to customers or urgent orders to nursing homes. In addition to speed, the drone’s significantly lower emissions compared to traditional transport are also significant factor”, says pharmacist Risto Holma from Lauttiksen Apteekki pharmacy.
The pharmacy’s customers can order selected pharmacy products by drone transport from Lauttiksen Apteekki’s online store at e-apteekkari.fi. The products are picked up from the drone landing point at Saukontori in Jätkäsaari. More detailed instructions and pharmacy products within the scope of drone transport can be found in the Lauttiksen Apteekki online store (e-apteekkari.fi). Drugs are not delivered in the pilot.
A dense urban environment, such as Helsinki’s city center, poses its own challenges to drone deliveries. Especially in the performance of flights that are beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). A consortium of Finnish companies, led by Third Space Automation Oy, is responsible for operating the drones. The team has paid special attention to flight safety in the pilot in addition to ensuring the integrity and traceability of the cargo.
“We follow the strictest safety regulations and are a team of highly experienced manned and unmanned aviation experts with decades of experience. We are using a commercial grade drone equipped with the maximum level of safety back up systems”, says Arshia Gratiot, CEO of Third Space Automation.
The delivery pilot of pharmacy products is an opportunity for Third Space Automation to test its drone logistics service. The goal is to be able to deliver medical products to even the most challenging locations.
“We designed the ByDrone distribution system used in the trial as a special delivery network for medical products. In the future, we aim to supply e.g. medicines, blood and vaccines, especially to hard-to-reach places that are otherwise difficult to deliver, ”Gratiot adds.
Drone delivery pilot in Jätkäsaari and Lauttasaari
- Drone deliveries of pharmacy products will be tested between Lauttasaari and Jätkäsaari from 24 August to 29 August, 2021. Drone flights take place between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
- The pilot is carried out by Third Space Automation Oy, FutureSky Oy, Flyby Guys Oy and Pinktape Media in cooperation with Lauttiksen Apteekki.The pilot is part of the Jätkäsaari Mobility Lab project coordinated by the City of Helsinki and Forum Virium Helsinki.
- During the pilot, selected products can be ordered from Lauttiksen Apteekki’s online store (e-apteekkari.fi) to Jätkäsaari by drone. The drone lands in Jätkäsaari at Saukontori, where customers can pick up their order.

"In the futuristic year of 2019, Los Angeles has become a dark and depressing metropolis, filled with urban decay. Rick Deckard, an ex-cop, is a \"Blade Runner \". Blade runners are people assigned to assassinate \"replicants \". The replicants are androids that look like real human beings. When four replicants commit a bloody mutiny on the Off World colony, Deckard is called out of retirement to track down the androids. As he tracks the replicants, eliminating them one by one, he soon comes across another replicant, Rachel, who evokes human emotion, despite the fact that she's a replicant herself. As Deckard closes in on the leader of the replicant group, his true hatred toward artificial intelligence makes him question his own identity in this future world, including what's human and what's not human."

"Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. Part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System, Voyager 1 launched 16 days after its twin, Voyager 2. Having operated for 38 years, 6 months and 26 days, the spacecraft still communicates with the Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and return data. At a distance of 134 AU (2.00×1010 km) as of winter 2015, it is the farthest spacecraft from Earth and the only one in interstellar space. The probe's primary mission objectives included flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, and Saturn's large moon, Titan. While the spacecraft's course could have been altered to include a Pluto encounter by forgoing the Titan flyby, exploration of the moon, which was known to have a substantial atmosphere, took priority. It studied the weather, magnetic fields, and rings of the two planets and was the first probe to provide detailed images of their moons. After completing its primary mission with the flyby of Saturn on November 20, 1980, Voyager 1 began an extended mission to explore the regions and boundaries of the outer heliosphere. On August 25, 2012, Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause to become the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space and study the interstellar medium. Voyager 1's extended mission is expected to continue until around 2025, when its radioisotope thermoelectric generators will no longer supply enough electric power to operate any of its scientific instruments."

How much does it cost to go to space?
For today’s space companies, it’s anyone willing — and wealthy enough — to pay the steep cost.
NASA said it would cost $35,000 a night for stays on the ISS, and the price to get there is estimated to be $50 million..
What would kill you first in space?
The most immediate threat in the cosmic vacuum is oxygen deprivation. Assuming that you don’t hold your breath during decompression, it will take about 15 seconds for your O2 deprived blood to get to your brain. … Simple loss of oxygen will likely kill you faster than anything else in the vacuum of space.
Who has died in space?
Cosmonauts Georgi Dobrovolski (left), Vladislav Volkov (middle), and Viktor Patsayev (right), the only three people to die in space, are featured on three USSR stamps. On June 29, the cosmonauts loaded back into the Soyuz 11 spacecraft and began their descent to Earth. And that’s when tragedy struck.
What does space smell like?
sweet-smelling welding fumes’, ‘burning metal’, ‘a distinct odour of ozone, an acrid smell’, ‘walnuts and brake pads’, ‘gunpowder’ and even ‘burnt almond cookie’. Some astronauts have likened the smells of space to walnuts.
How much does SpaceX launch cost?
Falcon 9FunctionOrbital launch vehicleManufacturerSpaceXCountry of originUnited StatesCost per launchNew: US$62 million (2020), Reused: US$50 million (2019)Size43 more rows
Can a civilian go to space?
Regular civilians will never go into space, only to low Earth orbit, which is not really true space.
Can you pay to go to the moon?
Cost. Some of the space tourism start-up companies have declared their cost for each tourist for a tour to the Moon. Circumlunar flyby: Space Adventures is charging $150 million per seat, a price that includes months of ground-based training, although this is only a fly-by mission, and will not land on the Moon.
Are there dead bodies in space?
As of 2020, there have been 15 astronaut and 4 cosmonaut fatalities during spaceflight. Astronauts have also died while training for space missions, such as the Apollo 1 launch pad fire which killed an entire crew of three. There have also been some non-astronaut fatalities during spaceflight-related activities.
Who owns the moon?
The Outer Space Treaty means therefore that – no matter whose national flags are planted on the lunar surface – no nation can ‘own’ the Moon. As of 2019, 109 nations are bound by the Treaty, and another 23 have signed the agreement but have yet to be officially recognised.
How much do astronauts get paid?
Astronauts’ annual salaries are determined using a government pay scale, and starting out, typically fall under two grades: GS-12 and GS-13. According the US government’s 2020 pay scales and a NASA job listing, a civilian astronaut in 2020 can earn between $66,167 and $161,141 per year.
Is buying land on moon legal?
Can people even buy land on the moon (legally)? … Buying land on the moon is illegal as per the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, signed by 109 nations, including India. As per the Treaty, “outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.” | aerospace |

The crew are now onboard the International Space Station and maintaining their conditioning will be a big priority during their time there, with as much as two and a half hours a day spent exercising.
Due to the lower force of gravity, a human body will see both its muscular strength and cardiovascular fitness reduced significantly while in space if it’s left to waste away.
So how do astronauts workout in space? Built for Athletes takes a look.
Astronauts will generally do continuous and interval-based aerobic training on alternate days, much like endurance athletes on Earth.
They have a specially designed treadmill named COLBERT, which is arguably the most famous treadmill ever made.
It’s essentially a normal running machine with a harness attached to it by bungee cords that the crew members will wear when going for a run, as well as elastic straps that fit over their shoulders to hold them down.
Apparently it feels a bit like running with a backpack on due to the straps. The treadmill also has its own suspension system to absorb the vibrations from each footfall and ensure the whole station doesn’t shake with every step.
Astronauts also have the opportunity to use a stationary bike for their aerobic training.
The bike is secured to the wall of the station so it doesn’t float away and a harness is again used to strap crew members in.
Their heart-rate and power data from the cycle is sent back down to Earth so that an individual programme can be developed for each astronaut.
ARED Resistance Machine
Muscular atrophy can occur quickly in space, so regular resistance training is essential.
To do this a machine called the ARED is used, also known as “The Beast” by astronauts.
It works by using vacuum cylinders, that could be compared to bicycle pumps, increasing the resistance as a piston is pulled in or out.
This allows users to perform a range of exercises but they will be able to lift about twice the weight they could on Earth. So if doing a squat, for example, astronauts could cope with about twice the weight they normally could. | aerospace |

|It began as a lark. At first, when
Los Angeles police helicopter pilot Jeff Walker heard of the idea, he
"Simmons, you have to be joking. You mean you want to go to Nicaragua, which is very unfriendly toward us now, and steal the latest Russian Hind helicopter from a guarded air base?"
"For a million bucks for a weekend's work, why not?" replied Simmons. "We did infiltration missions like this all the time in Vietnam when I was in Special Forces. The difference now is that I need a pilot. That's where you come in."
"I don't know anything about Russian ships. I flew Cobras in Vietnam, and now Bell Jetrangers. I don't even know how to start the engines."
Simmons grinned. He knew Walker would be turning the thoughts over in his mind. "If I can come up with the flight manual, in English, with a checklist, do you think you could crank it up and fly it?"
"If it's got rotors, I can fly it. But like you say, the big question is can I figure out how to start it. Still, you're crazy. It's a pipe dream. We'd get killed before we ever got near one."
"Maybe," said Simmons. "Maybe not..." | aerospace |

What significance is May 28th?
Mexico joined the allies during WWII as a result of the May 13, 1942 German U-boat sinking two Mexican oil tankers, off the coast of Florida, transporting crude oil to the United States. Thirteen of thirty-five crew members of the SS Potrero del Llano and eight members of SS Faja de Oro were killed.
Dec 12: The U.S. sent support with two squadrons of bombers bringing Mexico's aerial support at ten.
Dec 17: "A high ranking military official said that Mexico expected to get 160 military planes of four types...a supply of planes for the Mexican Army's rudimentary air force has long been under negotiation"
The Mexican constitution mandated that the president obtain permission from the Senate, which would require public support. A former army general, President Avila Camacho knew the army was unprepared, but he also believed that a tactical air unit could be readied quickly.
To sell the idea to the public, the president ordered the FAM to stage an airshow. Near Mexico City on March 5, 1944, more than 100,000 capitalinos watched as AT-6s and A-24Bs blasted a simulated enemy base with live ordnance. The show was a stunning success, and shortly thereafter the president declared that Mexico should fight and that the FAM would lead the nation in the conflict.
"As a result, on May 28, 1942, the Chamber of Deputies unanimously approved the decree by which it was established that since May 22, 1942, the United Mexican States were in a state of war." May 28, 1942, Mexico declares a State of War. | Ministry of National Defense | | Government gob.mx (www.gob.mx)
It was the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, George S. Messersmith, who sent the message to President Roosevelt encouraging an arrangement for the U.S. to train the 400 members of Escuadron 201 alongside American pilots. His letter unknowingly foretold a little-known historical fact "for the actual need or help which such air squadrons would be to us."
A unique arrangement was made for the "Aztec Eagles" by Army Maj. Gen. Robert W. Harper according to his memo
- No U.S. insignia are to be worn by the Mexican trainees
- They would not be subject to the civil or military law of the United States
- They would be subject to only to the codes of Mexican law
- Discipline would be administered by Mexican commanders only, never by U.S. authorities.

On Jan. 24, he found a new way to grab attention.
Space Force is apparently happening, as a new branch of the military that will do… something in space. Defend US interests there?
It appears to be true. #45 has finally reviled a logo for the United States Space Force. He took to his favorite mouthpiece, Twitter, to make the announcement.
Afterwards, it got a lot of reaction, and had people making comparisons to ‘Star Trek.’
One user above even compared the Space Force design to NASA.
It is not known when exactly Space Force will get off the ground, but they do have a spokesperson, so that shows some promise.
With a logo and some staff, let’s hope this mission in the galaxy from #45 eventually proves successful.

The airline stated this in a statement explaining that while airlines do not profit from flight delays or cancellations, such delays are caused mostly by safety concerns.
The airline also stated that it has contacted numerous passengers whose flights have been delayed recently, as it understands their frustrations.
It went on to say that a recent incidence of a disgruntled passenger, which went viral on social media, was caused by terrible weather and unexpected aircraft breakdowns on the Sokoto, Akure, Ibadan, and Kano routes.
“Our attention has been raised to a social media post in which a disgruntled client whose flight was delayed referred to Air Peace as a vicious operator, among other disparaging statements”.
“First and first, we would want to express our sincere apologies to all of our customers, including this specific passenger, who may have suffered flight delays on the day in question, as well as at any other time throughout our operations, for any difficulty they may have had. When such events occur, we feel their anguish”.
“As a responsible organization, and in accordance with business ethics, Air Peace would generally reach out to unsatisfied consumers at any time to pacify them, whether or not we are at fault. This is exactly what we’ve done. We think that the customer is king. Such gestures are never an admission of guilt, but rather an acknowledgment that one’s clients must be satisfied. It’s never done out of a sense of dread”.
“Flight delays and cancellations help no airline under the sun.” Rather than anything else, flight delays are mostly caused by safety concerns. We would want to reaffirm our commitment to zero tolerance for risky operations. Air Peace will never fly when it is hazardous to do so due to purposeful negative comments, intimidation, or blackmail, nor will we take to the skies to appear good when it is absolutely unsafe to do so due to fear of unwanted publicity from anybody or quarter.
“Flights are delayed due to a variety of causes outside the airline’s control, including but not limited to inclement weather, unexpected aircraft malfunctions, and so on. We encountered terrible weather on the day in question, which resulted in flight cancellations and unexpected aircraft breakdowns during and in the middle of operations. We suffered weather-related aircraft delays at Sokoto, Akure, Ibadan, and Kano. These causes resulted in several delays and cancellations, which the airline had not anticipated. It occurs all around the globe “, according to the airline.
Air Peace reaffirmed that it would never put its passengers’ lives in jeopardy by flying a malfunctioning plane, and it also defended the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), claiming that the body is effectively regulating the industry and that airlines follow best safety measures. | aerospace |

The aircraft meant for my mission, the North American B-twenty five Mitchell registered 130669 “Tondelayo” and donning its drab olive-inexperienced livery, experienced been the third parked on the ramp of the American Airpower Museum, each an historical and symbolic placement relative to the two heavier, for a longer time-array aircraft which experienced been preceded it.
Ensuing from a 1938 Air Corps necessity for a twin-engined, medium-array bomber which could fulfill specialized niche roles its bigger, quad-engined counterparts experienced been unable to, and tracing its lineage to the B-10, the B-12, the B-eighteen, and the B-23, the B-twenty five alone, named following the US Military Air Corps Officer Basic Billy Mitchell, experienced been infused lifetime as a self-funded job by North American Aviation in the type of the NA-40-1. The 19,500-pound prototype, featuring a narrow fuselage with a inexperienced home cockpit a straight mid-wing two, 1,100-horsepower R-1830 piston engines an angular, twin vertical tail and a tricycle undercarriage of single wheels, experienced 1st flown in January of 1939, but a energy deficiency experienced necessitated the retrofit of 1,350-horsepower R-2600s. While the modified variation, specified NA-40-two, experienced available exceptional effectiveness, it crashed following a two-7 days check software.
Its NA-62 successor, which experienced been thoroughly modified, highlighted a broader fuselage which in change increased the now reduced-mounted, continual root-to-idea dihedral mid-wing span, 1,seven-hundred-horsepower R-2600-9 engines, sq.-geometry vertical tails, and a 27,000-pound gross excess weight. Accredited in September of 1939, this variation, specified the XB-twenty five, 1st flew in prototype type on August 19 of the pursuing calendar year.
Initially shipped to the Military Air Corps, the aircraft demonstrated directional balance deficiencies, ensuing in the outer wing mounting redesign with the tenth aircraft off the production line, which decreased the motor-to-wing idea dihedral and gave it its attribute gull-wing profile.
The B-twenty five Mitchell, in production type, appeared with an aluminum alloy, semi-monocoque fuselage, constructed of four longerons, which produced a 53.six-foot total size. The cantilever, all-metal, mid-mounted wings, comprised of a two-spar, fuselage-integral middle portion housing integral gas tanks and two outer, single-spar sections with detachable wing tips, highlighted sealed ailerons with each preset and controllable trimming tabs and twin-portion, hydraulically-operated, trailing edge slotted flaps divided by the motor nacelles. Spanning sixty seven.seven feet, they sported a 609.8-sq.-foot location. Driven by two 1,seven-hundred-horsepower, Wright-Cyclone two-row, fourteen-cylinder, air-cooled R-2600 piston engines housed in aerodynamic nacelles which traversed the wing chord and turned 3-bladed, continual-speed, 12.seven-foot, whole-feathering, anti-icing Hamilton Regular propellers, the aircraft could climb to fifteen,000 feet in 11.three minutes and achieve a highest speed of 303 mph at 13,000 feet. The cantilever twin vertical fins and rudders, equipped with preset and controllable trimming tabs, experienced been modified with rounded tops and yielded a 16.five-foot aircraft peak. The tricycle, single-wheeled, hydraulically-actuated, aft-retracting undercarriage, the 1st these configuration used by a US bomber, highlighted aerodynamic door addresses in excess of all 3 wheel wells in each the prolonged and retracted positions, although the major wheels were being equipped with hydraulic brakes. The aircraft, with a 21,100-pound vacant excess weight, experienced a highest gross excess weight of 33,500 lbs ..
Quite a few versions experienced been produced. The 1st of these, the B-25A, included pilot armor and self-sealing gas tanks, although its successor, the B-25B, launched two electrically-operated Bendix turrets, each of which replaced the midship and tail guns and highlighted two .fifty caliber device guns. Moving into support in 1941 with the 17th Bomb Team at McChord Industry around Tacoma, Washington, the aircraft, whose production run totaled a hundred and twenty, also highlighted a separate photographic station among the upper turret and the tail and a shortened, 54.1-foot size.
Driven by two 1,seven-hundred-horsepower Wright R-2600-13 engines, the B-25C, the third variation, launched an autopilot technique and external racks which could have eight 250-pound bombs, and a afterwards gas potential enhance to 1,100 gallons. Of the three,909 make, 1,619 experienced been produced in Inglewood, California, although two,290 experienced been assembled in Kansas City, Kansas, below the B-25D designation.
The singular B-25E and –F variants were being meant as check vehicles of wing and tail anti-icing techniques, although the B-25G replaced the glazed nose with an armored one, the latter containing two .fifty caliber device guns and one 9.six-foot-very long, 900-pound, cradle-mounted, M-four cannon able of firing 23-inch, fifteen-pound shells. While its armament experienced normally adhered to the B-25C conventional, its bomb bay could accommodate an aircraft torpedo. The variant, operated by a crew of four and featuring a fifty.10-foot total size, liked a 405-unit production run.
The B-25H, with significantly increased armament, highlighted four .fifty caliber device guns in the metallic, armored nose, and a further more four on the side, organized in pairs a repositioned top rated turret, now positioned in the roof of the navigator’s compartment the elimination of the ventral turret enlarged, aft-wing, .fifty caliber device gun waistline positions and a tail gun station with two further more .fifty caliber device guns. As Globe War II’s most thoroughly armed layout, it could achieve 293-mph speeds at 13,000 feet and experienced a 23,800-foot support ceiling.
The B-25J, the definitive and numerically most popular variation, experienced been meant for precision bombing. The aircraft, introducing a bombardier who increased the crew complement to 6, reincorporated the glazed nose which experienced now been provisioned with one preset and one flexible .fifty caliber device gun. The largest single Mitchell get, for four,318 B-25s, experienced been put on April fourteen, 1943, and the aircraft, attaining 292-mph speeds at fourteen,500 feet, could cruise at support ceilings of twenty five,500 feet.
Among 1941 and 1945, the Military Air Corps took supply of 9,816 B-25s, three,218 of which experienced been produced in Inglewood, California, until eventually 1943, and the remaining six,608 of which experienced been produced in Kansas City.
The B-twenty five Mitchell experienced many write-up-war purposes. Demilitarized, and specified TB-twenty five, the type, primarily based upon the B-25J, experienced been converted into a trainer with the installation of an observer’s seat in the nose, ahead and underneath the cockpit two pupil seats driving the conventional two pilot-instructor positions and up to 5 seats in the aft cabin. Of the 400 converted aircraft operated by the US Air Power for the duration of the fifties, the previous lively-obligation staff members transport experienced not been retired until eventually Might 21, 1960, whilst it experienced continued to be operated by the air forces of Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Holland, Uruguay, and Venezuela.
A photographic reconnaissance variant, the F-10, experienced highlighted a nose-set up tri-metrogon camera together with other aerial pictures tools, although other non-armed forces roles experienced integrated all those of govt transport, freighter, and hearth bomber.
The aircraft operating my Labor Working day flight, a B-25J registered 44-28932, experienced been produced in August of 1944 by North American Aviation in Kansas City, Kansas. Acknowledged by the United States Military Air Corps on August three of that calendar year, it experienced served in the US in the AAF Flying Schooling Command Software, serving 12 various air bases until eventually January of 1959, at which time it experienced been declared surplus and experienced been deleted from the US Air Power stock. Converted into a hearth bomber, it experienced combated forest fires for another twenty five years.
Obtained by the Collings Foundation in 1984, and restored by Tom Reilly Classic Plane in excess of a two-calendar year time period, the B-25J, the 1st Globe War II bomber in the collection, experienced been flown n air demonstrates in the Boston location for a 10 years, whereafter it experienced been ferried to Chino, California, in late 2001, for a secondary restoration by Carl Scholl of Aero Trader, Inc. Subsequently repositioned to Midland, Texas, it was painted by AVSource West in its latest Tondelayo livery following the B-twenty five which experienced been operated by the Air Apache 345th BG of the fifth Air Power in the Pacific Theater in opposition to targets in New Guinea, the five hundredth BS of the fifth Air Power alone owning been the fourth squadron of the 345th BG to have attacked delivery in Vunapope around Rabaul on Oct eighteen, 1943. The Tondelayo name experienced been motivated by Hedy Lamarr’s character in the 1943 film White Cargo and supplied by the crew of Lieutenant Ralph Wallace. The 3-aircraft formation, comprised of the B-twenty five “Snafu” and flown by Captain Lyle Anacker, the “Tondelayo” flown by Lieutenant Wallace himself, and the “Sorry Satchul” flown by Lieutenant Paterson, experienced claimed 3 ships, but avenging fighters experienced attacked “Sorry Satchul,” hitting its port motor and forcing it to ditch, and “Tondelayo,” detrimental its right motor. Shut down and feathered, it experienced pretty much wrenched alone from its mountings for the reason that of critical vibration.
Flying in excess of Cape Gazelle toward base, the B-twenty five duo, protecting limited formation, experienced been focused by some fifty Japanese fighters, “Sorry Satchul” so poorly harmed that it experienced been compelled to head for shore and ditch and “Tondelayo,” in spite of its individual essential wounds, hovering only thirty feet above the drinking water in which it experienced managed to shoot down 5 further enemy aircraft. Limping into base at Kiriwina, the aircraft experienced subsequently been repaired and patched, acquiring a new right wing, motor, propeller blades, and radio tools. Its crew experienced been awarded the Silver Star.
Squatting below the forward fuselage and climbing the brief ladder into the cockpit portion on that Labor Working day in 2006, I took the right of the two observer’s seats positioned a foot underneath, and driving, the cockpit, although the four other travellers entered the aft portion, positioned driving the bomb bay, by means of the ventral hatch, which experienced been configured with an aft-dealing with, 3-individual bench seat and 3 individual seats. With the ladder now raised and the twin panel folded across it to type a portion of the integral ground, the B-25J experienced been secured for motor commence.
The two-individual cockpit, sporting bow tie regulate yokes, highlighted a throttle quadrant with the two motor throttles angled toward the pilot, two propeller-pitch throttles, and two gas-mixture throttles angled toward the copilot.
Engine commence, commencing with the right, amount two powerplant, entailed turning the grasp ignition swap and right booster pump on, at which point the Wright R-2600 powerplant rotated and the interior grew to become saturated with deep, vibrating, Hamilton Regular propeller-produced noise. Priming and stabilizing them with the throttle to produce among 800 and 1,000 revolutions per moment, the captain used a whole-wealthy mixture, leading to them to settle into a throaty, 1,two hundred-rpm idle. The system was repeated with the remaining, amount 1 motor.
Getting in touch with Republic Ground on 121.six for taxi clearance, and armed with the hottest computerized terminal information and facts support data, the twin-finned bomber launched its brakes at 0845, the thrust produced by its engines, even at idle settings, sufficient to shift it forward in excess of the American Airpower ramp and away from the Globe War II bomber trio. Taxiing parallel to the lively runway, 32, the B-25J periodically jolted in reaction to brake purposes, turning on to the run-up location by implies of differential energy, its slipstream-bombarded twin rudders aerodynamically inducing ground turns. Extending its slotted, trailing edge flaps and advancing its throttles, the medium-potential bomber, assuredly a big in comparison to the at the moment landing Piper Warrior, moved on to the runway’s threshold, just as the B-17 experienced commenced its individual taxi roll from the ramp.
Moving into acquire off placement and aligning its nose wheel with the centerline, aircraft 130669 acquired acquire off clearance from Republic Tower on 125.two, slowly and gradually advancing its two throttles in get to establish original directional regulate. Firmly protecting a straight acceleration roll, the 1,500-horsepower twin-row radials powering the Collings Foundation aircraft exploded with cabin-saturating noise as clean, steady throttle progress pinnacled them into their METO settings of two,600 revolutions-per-moment and 40 inches of manifold strain. Counteracting wind-induced directional variants with delicate rudder deflections, the captain began implementing regulate column back again strain at 75 knots indicated air speed, the now ground-divided nose wheel creating a lift-producing angle-of-attack. The air speed-produced strain differential, bathing the huge, outstretched, upper wing surfaces in a steady stream of accelerated air, taken out all ground restraints and allowed them to peel the gravity-defying aircraft to which they experienced been connected off the ground at a hundred and fifteen knots. Retracting its tricycle undercarriage at the aircraft’s VMC-established one hundred forty five-knot speed, and trimming alone into its original climb, the twin-engined bomber, encased in motor slipstream, rolled into a right financial institution in excess of Route one hundred ten, headed toward Very long Island’s south shore.
Sustaining a one hundred fifty-diploma heading, the now-graceful traveling chicken decreased its motor rpm to 2300 and its manifold strain to thirty, moving abreast of the metallic, erector established-appearing Captree Bridge at 1,000 feet, which stretched across the deep blue floor of the Terrific South Bay from the island to Jones Seaside and its signature lighthouse. The azure of the drinking water, seamlessly merging with that of the sky, melded into a surreal dimension, as viewed from the 270-diploma-encompassing Plexiglas nose.
The energy-to-excess weight ratio, coupled to its aerodynamic layout, experienced been the critical to the remarkably-maneuverable, medium mission bomber. Not like its very long-array, superior-altitude, significant B-17 and B-24 counterparts, the B-twenty five, at 50 percent their acquisition expenditures, experienced been meant for interdiction functions, offering tactical blows to enemy targets nearer to the front. Since of its maneuverability, it experienced been capable to fly reduced-level, tree-top rated strafing sorties, in which it experienced remained virtually concealed, and experienced then dropped parachute-retarding bombs, which experienced enabled it to escape before detonation. While it experienced operated thoroughly in the Pacific, focusing on Japanese air fields from treetop altitudes and skip-bombing enemy ships, it experienced been utilised in all theaters of procedure, and experienced been flown by the Australians, the British, the Chinese, and the Dutch. It experienced been the 1st bomber to have been lend-leased to Russia.
The most famed B-twenty five mission, led by Lieutenant Colonel James H. Doolittle and occurring on April eighteen, 1942, experienced entailed the launch of 16 aircraft from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet. Of the four candidate aircraft, inclusive of the B-eighteen, the B-23, the B-26, and the B-twenty five alone, the latter experienced been selected for the reason that of its effectiveness. The aircraft, B-25Bs modified at the Northwest Airlines upkeep facility in Minnesota to enhance their gas tankage from 694 to 1,141 US gallons, experienced highlighted dorsal and ventral energy turrets, but experienced been devoid of tail armament. Loaded on the USS Hornet for the sea journey to Japan, 16 aircraft, each at 31,000-pound gross weights, would acquire off from the 467-foot deck at a 450-mile length, close ample to permit them to bomb targets in Tokyo, Yokahama, Kobe, and Nagoya, nonetheless keep sufficient gas materials to proceed the 1,two hundred miles to China.
Encountering a Japanese picket boat for the duration of the early morning of April eighteen, and fearing imminent attack, Doolittle designed the decision to launch the B-twenty five fleet at an 800-mile length, or 350 miles further more, from land, the 1st acquire off occurring at 8:eighteen a.m., which experienced been considerably less than an hour following the boat experienced been sighted. Using solid headwinds and the deck’s sea swell-produced inclination, the bombers experienced just been capable to accomplish the precarious feat, with the previous using off at 9:21 a.m.
Right after some four several hours of traveling, the guide aircraft, flown by Doolittle himself, dropped the 1st bomb in excess of Tokyo, shortly following which it experienced been joined by the remaining fifteen. While all safely and securely departed Japanese air place, inadequate gas, triggered by the previously launching, and deteriorating temperature, resulted in the crash-landing or abandonment of fifteen B-25s in China, although the sixteenth landed in Vladivostock, in which its crew experienced been captured.
Even so, the mission experienced been each a technological and operational achievement, and experienced elevated troop morale and garnered huge notoriety for the aircraft.
Banking remaining to a 240-diploma heading, aircraft 1306669 Tondelayo was carried back again in excess of Captree Bridge by its gull, variable-dihedral wings and its 3-bladed propellers, crossing in excess of Very long Island’s south shore. The B-17 Flying Fortress, appearing specially graceful in excess of the blue floor of the Terrific South Bay, flexed off of the port cockpit windows. Globe War II skies experienced in some way been resurrected that early morning.
Fuel melt away depended on motor environment: at 180 mph, with the engines turning at 1,seven-hundred revolutions per moment and feeding off of 27 inches of manifold strain, the aircraft burned a hundred and twenty gallons per hour, although a 10-mph cruise speed enhance, attained with a 1,800-rpm/28-inch environment, resulted in a one hundred thirty-gallon per hour usage.
Recontacting Republic Tower, aircraft 130699 suggested its intention of “inbound for landing” and decreased energy, now gravity-induced into its descent profile. Sustaining a 180-mph speed and a 320-diploma heading, it prolonged its trailing edge flaps, which delivered air speed regulate, by implies of progressive drag production. Flap settings similarly depended on flight period: 1/four for acquire off, 1/two and three/four for descent, and whole for landing.
The aircraft’s thoroughly clean stalling speed experienced been ninety five mph, which lowered to eighty three mph at highest gross excess weight with whole flaps and undercarriage at 26,000 feet.
Extending its drag-creating landing gear into the slipstream, the aircraft inched toward Runway 32’s threshold, as its altimeter unwound: 600 feet…500…300…100…
Passing in excess of the fence at a hundred and fifteen mph, the olive-inexperienced, twin-engined, twin-finned medium bomber sank toward the blurred concrete in a whole back again-strain regulate yoke-induced flare, screeching on the ground with its remaining major wheel at 80 mph, at which time the friction sufficiently decreased its air speed to permit the remaining two bogies to settle earthward.
Finishing its deceleration roll and taxiing on to the American Airpower Museum ramp, the B-25J Mitchell, as the medium mission bomber, experienced appropriately been the 1st to return to base, the B-17 and the B-24 still plying the skies. If Globe War II experienced still been raging, the sequence would have been exactly the same. | aerospace |

How low is the ultra-low altitude? Some people say that it is "the height of a tree".
Downward, there are tanks and armored vehicles on the ground, and upward, there are fixed-wing aircraft and missiles. Only the gap of "the height of a tree" was left to the Army Aviation.
In 1986, in the prelude to the "One Million Disarmament", China started to set up the Army Aviation Force. Today, the Chinese Army Air Force has gone through 30 years. In the past 30 years, this newly established new combat arm of the army has gradually become one of the backbone forces of the Chinese army to realize nonlinear three-dimensional mobile operations from scratch, from small to large, from weak to strong.
Today, 30 years later, when China’s army is once again opening the curtain of reform, people can’t help asking: Can we win at the height of a tree?
30 years of hardship and burden
In 1986, when the China People’s Liberation Army announced the formation of the Army Aviation Force, our international counterparts had already left us too far.
In 1939, the world’s first practical helicopter was successfully tested and began to be widely used in the military field. On the Vietnam battlefield after World War II, helicopters have become the main battle equipment of the US Army. The US military has invested more than 10 types of helicopters on the battlefield in Vietnam, covering armed attacks, aerial reconnaissance, and support transportation, with a total of more than 400 helicopters, which can achieve tactical coordination between helicopters and combat classes.
Today, the number of US military helicopters in active service is close to 7,000. According to the public data in 2015, the number of active helicopters in the Russian army exceeds 2,000, and it has the largest helicopter model in the world: Mi-26 heavy helicopter. This helicopter once showed strong air support ability in the rescue of Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan.
In the China Army in 1986, the number of our helicopters was 79. And basically imported from abroad, the model is complex. China is so big that it is almost impossible to build a complete helicopter.
In the 1980s, the new military revolution in the world rose quietly, and major innovations took place in military theory, military system, weapons and equipment and war forms. China’s Luhang took off in the wave of military reform in the world.
In order to solve the urgent need for equipment, the Army Aviation Force introduced armed helicopters and transport helicopters from France and Russia successively, and on this basis began the road of independent innovation of "equipping one generation, developing one generation, pre-researching one generation and exploring one generation".
In 1985, Deng Xiaoping, then chairman of the Central Military Commission, announced to the world that he would disarm 1 million people. It was against this background that the Central Military Commission decided to set up the Army Air Force the following year.
A paper order came down, and Colonel Xing Xigui, the head of a transport regiment of the Air Force, changed his blue air force trousers and became a head of the Army Air Force. He took several backbones from the Air Force, borrowed 10 bungalows from neighboring troops, and inserted the flag of Luhang: "This is the regimental headquarters!" There is no night flight facility on the ground, so the ground crew painted the lantern in red, yellow and green with paint to guide the helicopter to fly at night instead of the runway light. Every night flight, the ground crew will drive a truck and put lanterns along the way.
At the Luhang Training Base in Shanxi, more than a dozen sheepfolds were converted into offices, and even the tap water was not installed, pilot training and enrollment began. In the morning, I washed my face and brushed my teeth, and colonel and senior colonel lined up to fetch water. Someone summed up a few jingles: "A few rooms are lonely, there is no camp gate and no road, entertainment depends on walking, 10 officers and men live together, and all sleep in bunk beds."
In the past 30 years, almost every development of the Chinese Army Aviation has been "the most beautiful retrograde".
In 1999, in order to deepen the reform of national defense and the army and accelerate the transformation of the army, the whole army was reduced by 500 thousand again, and the number of military academies was reduced from 100 to 80. At the same time, the Central Military Commission decided to set up the Army Aviation Academy, which is the only comprehensive college newly built in this disarmament process.
In 2003, the whole army reduced 200,000 posts again, and the General Staff Aviation Bureau was officially renamed as the General Staff Aviation Department, which changed from performing the functions of the leading organ of the army to performing the functions of the second department of the General Staff Department, and added technical support and scientific research flight test institutions such as the Military Agency and the Flight Test Brigade.
In July 2013, the Central Military Commission defined the main tasks of the military reform from 2013 to 2015. Under the condition of further optimizing the military structure, the Army Aviation once again increased its posts. It is also these four landmark "retrogrades" that the Chinese Army Air Force took off with a heavy load.
The first 30 years.
An armed helicopter violently shook and landed in a paddy field in the countryside of southeast Jiangxi from the air of 1800 meters, riding on the ridge impartially. Test pilots Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yunlei got out of danger, lit a cigarette for each other and waited quietly for the rescue team.
Few people know that this forced landing of paddy fields in 2007 has well preserved China’s first special armed helicopter — — The prototype and test data of Wuzhi-10. Five years later, China’s first dedicated armed helicopter was born.
On the day of installation, a number of aviation equipment experts were in tears at the scene. They all remember that at the critical moment when the introduction of the engine of the Zhi-10 helicopter gunship was blocked and the development of the whole helicopter was in a dilemma, Luhang made a decisive decision to rely on domestic independent design and finalize the design, successfully organized and completed the engine development with independent intellectual property rights, overcame the technical difficulties of the whole helicopter weight reduction optimization, broke the foreign blockade in two years and achieved a great victory of self-reliance.
At the same time, Luhang began to explore ways to improve and tap the potential of active equipment on the "Zhi-9" platform, and implemented three major improvements, which met the operational needs of armed helicopters in different historical periods of Luhang and provided a solid foundation for the transformation of Luhang from auxiliary support force to main battle assault force.
In the past 30 years, the Chinese Army Air Force has not only equipped domestic special armed helicopters, but also trained a large number of aviation pilots, which are close to the world-class in flight technology and level.
In order to "make up lessons" and shorten the gap as soon as possible, the army aviation has made full use of its horsepower. In 17 years, the training base has trained nearly 3,000 qualified aviation pilots, the flight training time has increased fourfold, and the number of trainees has soared tenfold. Therefore, it has to adopt the training mode of "three shifts" and "multi-point and multi-purpose in one field".
At most, the cookhouse squad has to cook 8 meals a day and carry them to the airport to ensure that teachers and students eat and then fly. The coach helicopter "Zhi-11" produced by China itself was directly installed in the army after it was manufactured, and it was taught while flying. The coaching staff didn’t have enough crew members, so they put the female soldiers on the ground and took on the task of maintaining the helicopter with the male soldiers.
China’s army aviation, which is catching up slowly and developing at a high speed, has undergone earth-shaking changes. In 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake rescue came to a critical moment. At that time, Cai Yougu, the head of a certain aviation regiment, took a single hovering way to connect several wounded people trapped in desperate situations to helicopters. The air corridor opened by Luhang has rekindled the hope of life for many affected people. To this end, Luhang also paid the price of his life, and Qiu Guanghua’s crew died heroically.
In recent years, the manned spaceflight project has given China Luhang a try. On the prairie of Siziwangqi, Inner Mongolia, the search and rescue helicopter is always the first to land next to the Shenzhou spacecraft, and send the most timely help to the heroes returning from outer space.
Over the past 30 years, the Army Air Force has formed a series of helicopter types, such as transportation, armed forces and service support, which are active in the ultra-low altitude of "the height of a tree" and play an increasingly important role in the army’s combat sequence.
"Write the poem in the blue sky and pin your figure on the white clouds." This is a poem written by Xing Shuhua, the first female pilot of Lu Hang. Today, the first batch of five female helicopter gunship pilots have been tempered by wind and rain for more than a year, and their wings have gradually grown and formed combat effectiveness.
30 years of innovation leap
In May 2014, northern Jiangxi. A helicopter stopped in the air and fell like an iron weight.
In more than 10 seconds from the height of 200 meters to the landing of the helicopter, the pilot pulled up the joystick weighing more than 100 kilograms with his hands to control the helicopter to rotate and land.
This is not an accident, but a 15-day first flight special course training for the Army Air Force. The training courses include difficult special situations such as engine stopping in the air and tail rotor failure, aiming at improving the pilot’s special situation handling ability and the battlefield survivability of Army helicopters. Participating in the training are a variety of active models such as domestic new main battle equipment Zhi-10 and light teaching equipment Zhi-11.
In recent years, the Army Air Force has always insisted on proceeding from actual combat needs, keeping a close eye on combat tasks and opponents, insisting on how to build troops and how to train soldiers, and developing and training what is needed in combat. It has successively organized activities such as training for aviation captains, pilot training for tactical research and training, and training for tactical application of new weapons and new ammunition, and creatively organized world-wide special training courses such as helicopter single-engine parking, taxi landing, double-engine parking, rotation landing and tail rotor failure landing, actively responding to the new situation of changing combat style and upgrading weapons and equipment, solving the problems of insufficient command level and low tactical training level of aviation units, effectively improving the core military capabilities of aviation units, and promoting the aviation units from fine flying to good fighting.
In terms of tactics, the Army Air Force studied and discussed the application theory of alpine plateau, sea, mountain, desert, urban warfare and night battle, and organized several inspection drills. In particular, in 2013, the Army Air Force organized a live-fire drill codenamed "Assault-2013", which was the first time that our army conducted a live-fire drill with the Army Air Force as the main assault force, and it was also the largest tactical research and discussion activity since the establishment of the Army Air Force.
"Assault-2013" mainly rehearsed six typical operations, such as fire cover, close fire support, special assault, wing-side aircraft landing, fire interception and leapfrog support, during the army aviation assault under the information conditions. The participating troops include land and air brigades and regiments from the former Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other military regions, as well as more than 3,000 naval and air force units, using more than 100 helicopters of various types and large-scale equipment such as multi-type ships, armor, artillery and fighters. The exercise verified a number of new tactical achievements, such as multi-aircraft side-by-side fire-gathering attack, and actually shot many types of test bombs. China’s first dedicated armed helicopter also launched an air-to-air missile for the first time and successfully intercepted low-altitude targets.
After 30 years’ unremitting efforts, the Army Air Force has also stepped out of a road of equipment progressive upgrading with adaptive modification, specialized development and serial development, forming a relatively rich series of air-to-ground and air-to-air weapons. The Army Air Force first solved the long-standing problem of "organic non-ammunition" of multiple aircraft types, and then independently developed a helicopter-specific air-to-ground missile. The guidance system expanded from a single wired system to multiple guidance methods. The equipped air-to-air missiles form a series in range and guidance mode, and the helicopter-borne rockets adopt various calibers and warheads, which have the ability to strike various targets.
In the past 30 years, the Army Aviation Force has successively completed the development and installation of domestic helicopters such as Zhi-9 series, Zhi-8 series, Zhi-11, Zhi-10 and Zhi-19, and basically built a main battle equipment system with second-generation equipment as the main body and third-generation equipment as the backbone; Overcome the difficulties in the development of multiple engines and initially break through the power bottleneck.
In the five years of "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" alone, the number of helicopters in Army Aviation is equivalent to the sum of the growth in the first 25 years of Army Aviation. When the curtain of military reform is once again opened, the Chinese army aviation will also usher in a new take-off. | aerospace |

Member pilots own equity shares of the corporation. Currently shares are limited to 30 pilots. Each member pilot pays monthly dues towards corporate fixed expenses and hourly usage fees for aircraft time used. Monthly dues range from $220 to $170 per month, depending on if you earn the $50 flying credit for flying at least an hour during the month.
Prospective shareholders must be certificated private pilots or advanced primary students (solo, with more than 25 hours in the last 6 months). Additional insurance, currency and financial requirements must be met. There are also security requirements to operate out of Dane County Regional Airport. New pilots to MSN must take a security seminar and obtain an access badge.
Since the number of shareholders is limited, a prospective shareholder must purchase a share of the corporation from an existing owner that desires to sell his/her share or directly from the corporation, when there are less than 30 current shareholders. Shares trade at prices agreed between the seller and buyer. The corporation enjoys a strong asset position due to its long and stable history.
Contact us if you are interested in sharing the pride, benefits and expense of aircraft ownership with 30 like-minded pilot owners.
CCF has introduced a Social Membership level. Be a member of the club, participate in all social activities, join on flying events when space is available. Social Members are not permitted to fly the corporation's aircraft or act as PIC. This is a great way to get to know the club before you buy in, as well as meet members who may be selling their shares.
- To receive a Membership Application, contact the Board of Directors at email@example.com.
What is a flying club?
A flying club is an organization that allows its members to pursue flying activities, usually by providing access to aircraft (more details) on an operational basis. Flying clubs come in many different types and sizes. Some even think a few pilots sharing a plane and expenses is a flying club, but in general that is considered a partnership. Flying clubs are generally larger than a few pilots and one plane, usually dozens of pilots and a few planes (like CCF), sometimes hundreds of pilots and dozens of planes. Some flying clubs are non-equity based (you don’t own the planes) and some are equity based (you owe a share in the planes). Capitol City Flyers, Inc. is an equity club and each member owns an equal share of the Club.
How does CCF differ from renting directly from a FBO?
There are 2 main differences; 1) You own the planes (you care and have a say in what happens to them). Our planes are better equipped and maintained. 2) The fee structure. CCF charges monthly dues to cover fixed expenses, the FBO has their cost baked into the hourly rate. CCF charges hourly rates based on Tach time, the FBO charges based on Hobbs time. On average, one Hobbs hour equates to 0.85 Tach hour (you fly an hour by your watch, you get billed 0.85 based on the Tach). CCF doesn’t charge sales tax. Both CCF and the FBO vary the hourly rates by the cost of 100LL, but CCF gives credit back if you fill up with cheaper fuel than the current surcharge level.
How do I join CCF?
You must purchase an outstanding share from the club or from a current member. A membership application must be submitted to the club and approved by the President. Capitol City Flyers is currently capped at 30 members. Capitol City Flyers does offer a social membership option. Social members can join Club social activities, fly-outs (as passenger), keep-up on Club news and join general hangar talk. Social members cannot act as PIC in Club aircraft. Contact the Club at firstname.lastname@example.org if you are interested in a social membership.
Are there any shares available? At what price?
We typically have 3-6 membership changes per year. Contact us for current information. Purchase of shares in Capitol City Flyers is a private transaction between the buyer and seller. The Club is not a party in price negotiations. There is a $50 stock transfer fee, payable to the club, at time of transfer.
Shares for sale:
- Contact the board of directors at email@example.com
How long does it take to become a member?
It takes on average 3-5 days to process and approve a new member application. The more information you provide to us, the shorter the time frame.
Are there any restrictions or limitations to become a member?
Yes, to become a member you must hold at least a Private Pilot certificate or be a Student Pilot with at least 25 hours total time in the proceeding 6 months prior to joining. Since implementing this rule, we have had several members join and complete their Private Pilot training and go on to more ratings.
Are there any restrictions or limitations after becoming a member?
All members must follow the Club's Standard Operating Procedures. These rules govern membership requirements, eligibility to fly Club aircraft, flight operations and limitations, reservations, member responsibilities, dues, bill payments, violations, flights out of the USA, smoking and minimum requirements to fly aircraft.
How are the planes scheduled/reserved?
The club uses the scheduling website service AircraftClubs.com: www.AircraftClubs.com. Each member is given a unique access id and password. Access to reserve particular planes is based on documented CFI endorsement or at the beginning of training towards checkout.
Are there any restrictions or limitations to scheduling planes?
Yes, Student Pilots cannot schedule the Skylane or the Diamond. The maximum number of active reservations a member can have at any given time is six (6), sometimes increased to ten (10) during times of concentrated training. The maximum number of days in advance for a reservation is 180 days. Both maximums can be overridden by a member of the Board of Directors (BOD) for a significant reason. There is also a requirement of notice to the Maintenance Officer when reserving an aircraft more than 5 days (This is to make sure the plane will be completely up to date on maintenance such as oil change or GPS updates). There is a requirement when planning a trip outside the USA, to coordinate with the Board of Directors (insurance and any country-specific requirements).
What are the dues and what does that cover?
Monthly dues are $220 per month. Dues cover the fixed costs of the Club, including aircraft expenses "before the propeller turns". Each member can earn a "flying credit" of $50 towards their monthly dues if they fly at least once in a given month. Expenses paid by dues includes;
- Basic aircraft annual inspections
- Hangar rent
- Debt service
- GPS subscriptions
- Tax document prep and filing services
- D&O liability insurance
- Monthly flying credit
- Web site, AircraftClubs.com subscriptions
How are the dues and flight time charges collected?
Each month, the Treasurer collects all Flight Tickets, calculates hourly totals by pilot and aircraft, determines monthly dues, flying credits and applicable fees. They then apply any fuel purchase credits or unpaid balance from the previous month and determines each member’s new account balance. The billing statement is sent out via email at the beginning of the month and posted on the club’s DropBox account. The balance is due in the Club's PO Box by the end of the that month. The Club does not accept credit card payments. | aerospace |

Model Kit Reviews and Photos
Kit: J26 (P-51D) Mustang, F16 Wing Swedish Air Force, Uppsala 1945. Airfix kit 02098.
Contributor: Robert Parkin
1929 the Bulldog II entered RAF service soon followed by the main product variant the MK
IIA, which had a strengthened structure, increased loaded weight and a wider track
undercarriage together with several other modifications. By 1932 nine RAF squadrons were
equipped with Bulldogs and in the UK these formed some 70% of front line fighters defenses
remaining in front line services until 1937. More than 300 Bulldog fighters and 58
two-seat dual control trainers served with the RAF. In addition several Bulldogs were
exported to Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Thailand while Sweden received three Mk II and MK
IIA three of which were passed to Finland in 1939.
The aircraft was powered by a 450 hp Bristol Jupiter VIIF radial engine giving a maximum speed of 278 km/h (174 mph) at 3,045m (10,000 ft.) Wing span: 10.33m (33') Length 7.61m (25').
Armament: Two Vickers synchronized machine guns and up to four 9 kg bombs.
Instructions- This is a small model measuring
approximately 5.63" wingspan x 4.13". The structure supports under the wings and
for the wheels were difficult to do because of the small size. I had to use needlenose
players to hold them while gluing. The entire model was airbrushed with Testers Metalizer
paints. The finished model looks good anywhere you put it because if its small size;
however the wheels are fragile and plane tends to bend them. I had mine on top of the
computer monitor for along time until it fell off and I lost a wheel. The markings on this
model are for a Bulldog IIA of the Swedish Air Force.

by DRONELIFE Staff Writer Ian J. McNabb
Continue reading below, or listen:
Pyka Inc., a UAV designer and manufacturer based in Oakland, California, announced that their Pelican Spray crop-protection aircraft has received FAA approval. With a gross weight of 1125 lbs, the highly automated UAS is the heaviest to ever receive FAA authorization for commercial use in the United States. In conjunction with an agricultural aircraft operator certificate, farmers can start using the Pelican to enhance operations. The Pelican is powered by four electric engines totaling 100kw and features swappable batteries and a carbon airframe.
Pyka highlights the dangers of agricultural flight in their press release- last year, the National Transportation Safety Board reported 54 aircraft accidents in agricultural operations, resulting in 13 deaths. The Pelican Spray is more environmentally friendly than manned aircraft applications as well, allowing for lower chemical use and more precise application of agricultural sprays. Already operational in Costa Rica, Honduras, and Brazil, the Pelican Spray can carry up to 540 lbs of liquid and spray up to 240 acres an hour.
“We are beyond thrilled to celebrate this commercial approval and regulatory milestone,” said Michael Norcia, Chief Executive Officer of Pyka. “Pyka’s aircraft provide an essential tool for protecting crops, unlocking cost savings for growers, and reducing our impact on the environment. This commercial approval is the first step in enabling us to generate massive value for growers in the U.S., Latin America, and other markets we operate in, while also laying the operational and regulatory groundwork for eventual scaling into uncrewed cargo operations worldwide.”
To help them in the approvals process, Pyka was assisted by Hogan Lovells’ UAS Practice, headed by drone industry leader Lisa Ellman, who said, “This is a significant win for Pyka and the agricultural community they serve. Among other safety and environmental benefits, the use of highly-automated UAS like the Pelican to perform potentially hazardous aircraft operations can reduce the number of pilot fatalities that occur each year in the aerial agricultural spraying industry.”

It is possible that there are other space centers, but those are yet to be shown.
Saga prefecture Space CenterEdit
Saga prefecture Space Center serves as a launching and landing site for SSTOs that allow sending goods and information across the ocean, most particularly, SSTO maintains a 'trading route' with United States. Since the space center is located on the shore, in order to protect it from the possible attacks from the "Fleet of Fog", a small fleet of human ships is stationed there. However, even a single light cruiser, Nagara, was able to obliterate that fleet and would have destroyed an SSTO had not I-401 sunk it. | aerospace |

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Administrator Jim Bridenstine told reporters on a conference call on Monday that the agency is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to put a man on the moon with a bold prediction about the future of space exploration.
Bridenstine said President Donald Trump wants to “plant an American flag on Mars.”
“The President’s Space Policy Directive-1, it says to utilize the resources of the Moon, and then it says to use the capabilities and the technologies that we develop at the Moon and go on to Mars,” Bridenstine said. “Mars is the goal.”
“The President has been clear,” Bridenstine said. “We want to plant an American flag on Mars.” “That was in his 4th of July speech, which I think was a great reminder of what our ultimate goal is.”
“Yes, we’re going sustainably to the Moon, but we’re doing it so that we can learn how to live and work on another world and take all of that capability and technology on to Mars,” Bridenstine said….
“The United States at the time was trying to prove that its economic system and its political system were superior to try to get alignment from the rest of the world with us, and ultimately, we achieved the objective, which was to get to the Moon,” Bridenstine said, noting that the United States did a total of six missions to the moon and that twelve men walked on the lunar surface.
And Bridenstine also pointed out that the space race changed to “an amazing achievement of diplomatic capability” as Russia and the United States continue their cooperative space missions for more than 20 years.’
And now the threat to space exploration is one that comes from domestic not international politics….
Bridenstine also spoke about the resources on the moon that can benefit the United States, including “hundreds of millions of tons of water ice on the South Pole of the moon” and one-sixth of the gravity as Earth making it easier to launch aircraft from the moon.
“But when we land on the Moon in 2024, between now and then, we have to aggregate a lander in orbit around the Moon at what we call the ‘Gateway,’ which is a small space station that will be in orbit around the moon,” Bridenstine said.
“Gateway is underway,” Bridenstine said. “We’ve gone under contract for the first element, the power, and propulsion element of the Gateway.”… (Excerpted from Breitbart News article by Penny Starr) | aerospace |

And it is not surprising that many books have been written on the topic of travel in space and its conquest and many film adaptations have been made. Below are some of the best sci-fi space movies. Therefore, they delight not only with an interesting plot, but also with an impeccable visual component.
The best Sci-fi space movies to watch
- «Gravity» – a mesmerizing film that delights with pictures of Earth from space and a suspenseful plot that grips from the first minutes and doesn’t let go until the credits roll.
- «Salyut-7» – a Russian film about work in open space at an orbital station. Unlike many other Russian films, this one pleases with a serious approach to business, accuracy of facts, a magnificent picture and impeccable acting.
- «Interstellar» – a popular Christopher Nolan film, which not only tells the story of the astronauts’ journey through a wormhole in space and time, but also delights with its unpredictable ending.
- «Moon» – one more movie where one can’t predict the ending. In the center of the plot is a man serving a station on the moon and preparing to complete a shift that lasted three years. Therefore, there are plenty of landscapes of the Moon and the Earth observed from it, which, in combination with the game of Sam Rockwell, will allow you to get the most out of watching this movie.
- «The Martian» – Matt Damon as the astronaut, who was “forgotten” on Mars, coped wonderfully with his role, managing to convey all the tragedy of the situation and the struggle of a man who is ready to do anything to survive.
This is what our top science fiction space movies look like. If you think some pictures still belong here, then write about it in the comments. | aerospace |

For such manufactures, the government had earlier on May 4 issued an order inviting applications for Production Linked Incentive scheme for drones and drones components.
How to apply
Eligible manufacturers may submit the application form at https://www.civilaviation.gov.in/application-pli-scheme.
The deadline for submitting the application form is 20 May 2022. The final list of PLI beneficiaries is expected to be released by 30 June 2022 after detailed scrutiny of their financial results and other specified documents.
Earlier on 20th April 2022, MoCA has published a provisional list of 14 PLI beneficiaries based on the financial results submitted by PLI applicants for the ten-month period (1st April 2021 to 31st January 2022).These include five drone manufacturers and nine drone component manufacturers.
The eligibility criteria for the PLI scheme for drones and drone components includes an annual sales turnover of INR 2 crore for drone companies and INR 50 lacs for drone components manufacturers; and value addition of over 40% of sales turnover.
An approved applicant shall be eligible for benefits for three consecutive financial years but not beyond financial year 2023-24.
PLI scheme for drones and drone components
The objective of this scheme is to incentivise manufacturing of drones and drone components in India so as to make them self-sustaining and globally competitive.
Under the scheme, a total incentive of INR 120 crore is spread over 3 financial years which is nearly double the combined turnover of all domestic drone manufacturers in FY 2020-21. The PLI rate is 20% of the value addition which is one of the highest among other PLI schemes.
Relevance of the scheme
Drones offer tremendous benefits to sectors such as agriculture, infrastructure, emergency response, transportation, geospatial mapping, media and entertainment, law enforcement and national defence. With liberalised rules and the incentive scheme, the government expects drones and drone components manufacturing industry to attract investments of over INR 5,000 crore before the end of this fiscal.
The drone manufacturing industry is expected to generate over 10,000 direct jobs, and drone services industry is expected to generate over five lakh jobs by the end of 2024.
Other reforms in Drone sector
In 2021, the government notified liberalised Drone Rules and published a Drone Airspace Map which opened nearly 90% of Indian airspace as a green zone. Drone (Amendment) Rules, 2022 abolished the requirement of a drone pilot license for drone operations
With the Drone Certification Scheme 2022, the government made it easier for drone manufacturers to obtain a type certificate. Drone Import Policy, 2022 banned the import of foreign-made drones providing a boost to the domestic manufactures. | aerospace |

The metric and imagery information has to be geometrically accurate and of high quality, resulting from economic, fast and automated methods. Techniques of aerial photogrammetry are recommended for mapping large and inaccessible areas with the above requirements. Within this project, conventional aerial images from manned or unmanned aerial vehicles are captured and airborne laser scanning is also implemented (airborne LiDAR – Light Detection And Ranging). 2220 vertical and oblique aerial images were captured by a manned aircraft, covering the entire site of Holy Meteora, i.e., an area of 10km2. A camera of type NIKON D800E with a lens corresponding to a focal length of 50 mm was used. Each image has a size of 7360 × 4912 pixels. The images were taken from a low altitude and correspond to an average scale of 1: 20,000. They were collected in July 2017. About 50 ground control points (GCPs) were collected through RTK GPS measurements for the scope of georeferencing. In order to capture the rocks Modi and Alyssos in greater detail, a Phantom IV RTK unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a 20 MP camera was used and a total of 5000 vertical and oblique images were acquired. Special targets were placed on the ground for georeferencing purposes and their coordinates were determined using a dual-frequency GNSS receiver. Also, the coordinates of specific points on the rocks were determined by topographic measurements.
Planning of scans: LiDAR systems, provided by Geosystems Hellas S.A., were used for scanning the Archaeological Site of Meteora, where the rocks Modi and Alyssos are located. LiDAR is a remote sensing method that uses pulsed laser to generate altitude data in the form of point clouds. LiDAR systems are suitable for mapping areas with vegetation and for applications that require quick response. Before performing the laser scanning stage, it is necessary to determine the parameters that will ensure the acquisition of a dense point cloud with satisfactory accuracy. Within this project, the dual-channel airborne mapping system RIEGL VQ-1560i-DW was used. This system incorporates 2 band LiDAR sensors (one activated in near infrared and one in green) in the same cone, as well as two photogrammetric digital aerial cameras of type Phase One IXU-1000RS; one camera captures color aerial images and the other one captures infrared aerial images. The data collection was supported by a GNNS system and an inertial sensor of type Applanix AV-610. The flight planning had the following features:
- Simultaneous capturing of aerial images and LiDAR data
- Use of a LiDAR sensor activated in two areas of the spectrum at an angle to each other
- Use of a photogrammetrically calibrated camera and lens
- Minimum point density of the receiver: 40 (2×20) points per m2 on the ground.
- Ground sampling distance: 8 cm GSD RGB / NIR, scale 1/16000.
A total number of 23 high-resolution RGB aerial images were acquired in 2 flight strips (11 and 12 images), covering a total area of 3.82km2. Point clouds were also acquired for the same area. At the same time, 7 GCPs were measured in the field, well-distributed in the area covered by the aerial images and the point clouds by the RIEGL VQ-1560i-DW system.
Acquisition of terrestrial images: Terrestrial images were acquired, where it was deemed necessary, in order to capture some structural elements of the rocks (foundations, ruins, etc.) in greater detail. | aerospace |

Is Your MRO Designed to Grow?
When an engineer designs an aircraft or a jet engine, they consider both a static design (the object at rest) and a dynamic design (the object in motion). For example, the static design of an aircraft at rest is the size of the wings, fuselage, rudders, windows, seats, etc. The dynamic design of an aircraft is the design for performance in flight, i.e., the cruise speed, handling turbulence, stall angle, maximum bank, and much more. When it comes to our business operations, most companies spend quite of bit of time on the static design (like the physical layout of the factory), but how much time do we really spend on the dynamic design, or the design for our ‘Operations in Motion?’
In the world of Aviation, and especially on the MRO side, a high amount of variation exists. Engines ‘show up’ unexpectedly on the doorstep needing repair. Panels are opened on an aircraft and we don’t know what will be found inside that might need fixing. Parts are sent to suppliers for refurbishing, and we don’t know exactly when they will come back. These are the ‘operations in motion,’ and they happen each day. And the only way they currently happen is by management. Managers are chartered with making decisions to steer the course, to keep things moving in the right direction. Every day, they manage the operation and try to continuously improve it. In other words, if your operations were an aircraft, managers would be keeping it flying and also trying to improve it while flying, which is probably not the best design.
In the MRO industry, the business operations are intended to move information, material, and people to the right place at the right time in order to overhaul a product for the customer. With all the variation within this industry, a design for operations is crucial. Progressive companies like Wood Group Turbopower LLC, who overhaul gas turbine engines in Miami Lakes, FL, have figured out that their operations design needs to answer some key operational questions. For example, in manufacturing, how will each operator know what to work on next? How will they know when to send their work to the next process? How will they know they are on time to customer demand? What will they do when they are behind? Of course, none of these answers should be ‘go see a supervisor.’ Some questions for the shop floor: can a visitor see our flow from receiving deck to shipping deck? How will we know if the operation is on time to customer demand? In the office, similar questions apply: is our office designed for flow? In the office, how does everyone know what to work on next? When will information flow? How do we know if the office is on time? | aerospace |

For instance, they can be used to conduct large-area ongoing surveillance of facilities to help protect people and facility assets.
Should there appear to be a security breach, drones could be sent out to investigate the situation first, providing a safe, reliable initial assessment of what is occurring. Based on this assessment, you and your staff can determine next steps, whether that means personally investigating the situation further or deciding that local authorities should be called in.
However, here’s our challenge. While drones offer many possibilities, the law is still not there yet. Right now, we find drones are being used more extensively in other parts of the world to help minimize risks. The Federal Aviation Association (FAA), which licenses pilots to fly drones, as well as the Department of Justice and FBI, which regulate drone use in the U.S., are currently taking their time deciding how drones can and cannot be used in this country.
One reason for this is that there have been several “bad actors” putting drones to use for unsavory purposes over the years. This has hampered the entire drone industry in the U.S. and slowed the adoption and growth of this technology in corporate security.
With that said, we still have high expectations for drone technology in the future and believe it will play a significant role in risk management and corporate security. Because of this, we would like to share some key facts about this technology, so you know more about drones and their use when the time comes.
- Drones are officially called “unmanned aerial vehicles” – UAVs.
- UAVs aren’t a new concept. Surprisingly, they are more than 100 years old. Austria used the first UAVs in 1849 in an assault on Venice, Italy. Instead of motors, these drones were powered by balloons, each carrying bombs. Of the 200 released, most were swept away by sea breezes; however, at least one is known to have reached its destination where it exploded as planned.
- There are many types and sizes of drones. Some have more arms or rotors than others. Drones with more arms can carry more weight; this typically means more, and larger cameras and batteries can be carried, making the drone more useful.
- A standard drone consists of a motor, propeller, wings, a GPS, altimeter (an altitude meter), accelerometer (to measure speed), gyroscope (to help in direction), compass, a communication system to convey data, batteries, and remote control.
- Some of the latest drones have very high-resolution cameras and are equipped with “sense and avoid” technology. This helps ensure the drone does not fly into a tree or other object on the way to its destination.
- Software for drones is advancing very quickly. With edge native applications becoming the new paradigm for running software, some of these programs are designed to allow drones to fly autonomously through pre-programmed routes and switch between the node when it moves out of range.
- Along with the software, drone technology, in general, is progressing very quickly. Many drones are now available for commercial and private use that were previously earmarked only for military use not too many years ago.
As noted already, sea breezes prevented nearly all the drones launched in the 1849 assault on Venice from reaching their destination. Wind is still a problem today. Complicating matters, wind speed on the ground may not be the same as what the drone experiences once aloft. Further, weather conditions, in general, can have a significant influence on whether a drone can and should be used.
Since 2020 was such a tumultuous year, it’s possible that Congress and the government agencies mentioned earlier will ease some of their restrictions on the use of drones. This would allow risk management agencies such as TAL Global to take advantage of their full potential, helping us minimize risk and provide even more security options for our clients in the future.
As always, we value your feedback, which helps us shape our perspective on recent events, security, and the services we offer.

I am very happy to have had the chance to both learn about up and coming earth observation technologies, as well as present my own research at the summit. Admittedly, you, dear readers, are probably more interested in hearing about my Arctic Adventures to Axel Heiberg Island (July 5th-20th), but I haven't quite sorted through my notes and photos from the trip yet to write a blog post about it. Soon! Likely for next week.
I had the pleasure of attending both the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Workshop and the Summer School. During these seminars, we learned about different applications of SAR, types of hyperspectral remote sensing, and the use and application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for research, military, and civilian purposes. Something that really stuck out to me was the level of resolution and detail attainable from hyperspectral analysis. I knew that spectroscopy could be used to differentiate rocks, mineral content, vegetation, and man-made structures as I have done similar classification in remote sensing coursework and for my thesis. But at the workshop I learned that "level three" hyperspectral imaging can be used to differentiate between specific types of plants and roofing materials of buildings. This surprised me, and I'm really impressed by the versatility of spectroscopy, and all the fields it can be applied to. I suppose it makes sense, I mean, if spectroscopy can differentiate between different minerals, why wouldn't you be able to detect different types of plants and polymers? I never thought about it. In a different session, I also learned that the spectral signatures of plants are seasonably variable based on phenological changes. This is intuitive, since plants go through different phases of growing, leave production, and leaf loss, but again, it is something I hadn't thought about.
Before the SAR Workshop, I knew radar had a variety of applications in ground subsidence, natural disaster monitoring, and military intelligence, but did not know the nuances behind how these techniques were applied. Now I have a better understanding of the many Interferometric SAR processing steps for monitoring ground movements, and how RADARSAT-2 is used for naval surveillance in the Canadian Arctic.
My presentation “Polarimetric radar for remote geological mapping of salt diapirs on Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut” was well received in the Polarimetric SAR Processing session. The session was well attended, and some audience members asked insightful questions about my work. One gentleman asked if we were potentially detecting limestone in addition to gypsum and anhydrite with our Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) spectroscopy and in our radar images because both limestone and gypsum can show similar signatures. This is another case of where radar and topographic information may be useful in differentiating the differences between different rock lithologies based on their morphology and surface textures. I am delighted and honoured to say that my talk won second place for “Best Student Presentation” at the Congress. I am always happy to talk about rocks and satellites, and would love the opportunities to continue to share my knowledge and research in salt diapirism and polarimetric radar remote sensing at future conferences and meetings. Anyone who has been around me in the past few months has probably heard my three-minute thesis half a dozen times as I elucidate new quarry about the wonders of remote predictive mapping.
Over the course of the congress, I had many opportunities to connect and reconnect with colleagues and industry professionals. It was a pleasure to speak with representatives from the Canadian Space Agency again after meeting them last November for the Mars Sample Return Simulation at the University of Western Ontario. I also reconnected with people I had met at the Canadian Space Exploration Workshop whom I discussed the status of the RADARSAT Constellation Mission. Since I've been using RADARSAT-2 data for my thesis, I'm curious about the coverage the Constellation Mission will provide improved coverage over the Canadian high Arctic. I also met one of the Advisory Board members for the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS-Canada) for the first time that I had been in contact with through e-mail. I'm currently the Vice-Chair of SEDS-Canada, and working with the Board of Advisors is one of my roles in that.
In summary, the Earth Observation Summit was a very productive meeting. I learned a lot about SAR, which is beneficial to my M.Sc. research work, as well as other methods of remote sensing that has given me a more well-rounded and diverse understanding of Earth observation methods. I met many satellite industry professionals and learned a lot about Canada’s contributions to the space industry. This opportunity has given me a broader global understanding of space systems sciences. I look forward to being able to apply what I have learned at the Summit towards my future career aspirations in planetary mission work and space administration.
Soon you will hear about my Axel Heiberg adventures. Soon. | aerospace |

CNC plasma cutting is a process of creating 2D shapes from sheet metal using a high temperature, high velocity stream of ionized gas.
Whether you need a single part, batch of prototypes, or full production order, eMachineShop will turn your design into fully machined, end-use parts!
- 50+ Materials.
- FREE Shipping in the USA.
- 100% Quality Guaranteed.
Plasma Cuttinguses a plasma stream generated by directing the flow of an inert gas through an orifice where an electric arc ionizes the gas.
The material is thereby heated to a molten condition and the high velocity gas stream blows the material away.
- Can produce parts of almost any shape
- No custom tooling needed
- Cost-effective for thick metal sheets
- Method of cutting where laser cannot due to thickness
- 2D shapes do not have high precision or fine detail
- Edges can be rough, having pits at some points along the edge
- Angle of the edge can deviate from 90 degrees, typically up 10 to 20 degrees
- Some warping can occur on intricate parts
CNC Plasma Cutting is a popular choice for many metal products and components:
Plasma Cut Parts
One of the most popular aluminum alloys used in sheet metal fabrication. It is readily bent, punched and sheared.
Known for its high corrosion resistance, especially in ocean water. Common applications include marine and aircraft equipment, fuel lines, street lights, household appliances, flooring panels, and railings.
Used in applications requiring high strength to weight ratio, and has good fatigue resistance. It is not weldable and has average machinability.
Corrosion resistance is poor. Widely used in aircraft structures, especially wing and fuselage structures under tension.
Has generally good mechanical properties, and is heat treatable. Highly weldable although strength near welds can be diminished by up to 30% if not subsequently heat treated.
Mostly used in extruded shapes for architecture, including window frames, door frames, roofs, piping, tubing and furniture.
Strong, with good fatigue strength and average machinability, but is not weldable and has limited resistance to corrosion.
Cost is relatively high compared to other Aluminum alloys. Often used in aircraft including wings and fuselages, rock climbing equipment and bicycle components. | aerospace |

After having each founded their own space company in the early 2000s, the two men are now about to take off, just a few days apart.
Both a stunning coincidence in the development schedule, and an emblematic reflection of the fierce competition between them, these two flights also mark a turning point for the nascent space tourism industry.
If the two patrons are among the first passengers of Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, their goal is to allow hundreds of (rich) travellers to admire the curvature of the Earth with their own eyes, for a few minutes.
They will not be the first billionaires to go into space: Hungarian-born American Charles Simonyi and Canadian founder of Cirque du Soleil Guy Laliberté spent several days aboard the International Space Station in 2007 and 2009, but made the trip on a Russian Soyuz rocket.
Bezos and Branson will be the first to fly in spacecraft developed by companies they created.
“It’s just an incredible and wonderful coincidence that we’re going in the same month,” the Briton told the Washington Post, assuring that the last-minute announcement of his flight date, July 11, was “really not” timed to beat the Amazon founder, who is scheduled to board on the 20th.
“Become an astronaut”
The first flight will therefore be Virgin Galactic’s, on Sunday from New Mexico. The scheduled time of takeoff has not yet been communicated, but the company said that a live video broadcast would take place from 07:00 local time.
A carrier aircraft will take off from a conventional runway, then drop the spacecraft below it at altitude. The model is called SpaceShipTwo, and the particular one used on Sunday is called VSS Unity.
The two pilots aboard the vessel will then ignite its engine for a supersonic ascent, until exceeding the 80 km of altitude — the height fixed in the United States for the border of the space. The passengers, Richard Branson and three other Virgin Galactic employees, will then detach and float in zero gravity for a few minutes.
The ship will then glide back down to earth.
The role of the founder of the Virgin group? To test and evaluate the experience of future customers, a priori from 2022. About 600 people have already paid for their tickets — between $200,000 and $250,000.
“When I return, I will announce something very exciting to allow more people to become astronauts,” he promised.
Not without minimum training and conditioning
The second space trip will be made by Blue Origin on July 20, the anniversary of the first steps on the moon.
The rocket, named New Shepard after the first American to reach space, Alan Shepard, will blast off vertically from West Texas. The capsule will separate at about 75 km altitude, continuing its trajectory until it exceeds 100 km in altitude — the Karman Line, which marks the beginning of space according to international convention.
By comparison, airliners generally fly at about 10 km high.
After a few minutes, the capsule will begin a free fall back to Earth, braked by three large parachutes and then retrorockets.
On board, Jeff Bezos will be accompanied by his brother, Mark, an 82-year-old former pilot, Wally Funk, and the mysterious winner of an auction, whose name has not yet been revealed but who paid $28 million to participate.
This will be the first manned flight of this rocket (while VSS Unity has already embarked pilots, and even a passenger).
Unlike a major rival, SpaceX, which plans much more ambitious multi-day trips for its own space tourists, Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin’s so-called suborbital flights require minimal training.
But after being heralded as imminent for years, the advent of space tourism remains on hold until these tests are fully successful.
In 2014, an accident with a Virgin Galactic ship resulted in the death of a pilot, significantly delaying the program. And another such dramatic event is not allowed. | aerospace |
