AVOID WHAT CREW CALLS UFO
LONDON (AP) - A British Airways jetliner made a diversion over the Soviet Union to avoid what the crew reported as an unidentified flying object, airline spokesman Alan Solloway said yesterday.
The incident occurred in April, but came to light yesterday in the London Times. Solloway confirmed that the crew of the Boeing 747 jumbo jet reported seeing a UFO over the Soviet Union on April 22 while flying from London to Bangkok, Thailand.
He said it was the first such case in the airline's history.
"We have had crews report seeing space debris burning, but we can't recall a UFO being sighted and being logged as a UFO."
"Usually, there is a scientific explanation for whatever was seen, but there doesn't seem to be a scientific explanation for this."
The Times said all five crew members reported seeing an object with twinkling lights fly directly toward them and then vanish quickly over the Kazhakstan horizon.
"It was definitely not an aircraft," the paper quoted First Officer Anthony Colin, 42, as saying. "None of us had ever seen anything like it before. We are all bitter, cynical aviators who like a scientific explanation for everything. But this has got us foxed."
Solloway said the crew checked with Soviet air traffic control, which reported no other aircraft were in the vicinity. | aerospace |

Dr. Parazynski has spoken all over the world about the rigors, risks and rewards of exploration in extreme environments, deriving important lessons in teamwork, risk management and leadership under the most demanding circumstances, on or off the planet. Among his many presentations, he has:
- Delivered hundreds of keynotes to corporate leaders, industry and scientific conventions, and major non-profit organizations
- Presented Medical Grand Rounds at some of the world’s most prestigious medical schools, hospitals and conferences
- Appeared on all major US broadcast networks as well as many overseas TV networks, discussing various aspects of the space program, the importance of exploration, STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and technological innovation
- Filmed as team physician and summit climber during Discovery Channel’s 3rd season of: “Everest: Beyond the Limit”
Dr. Scott Parazynski has lived and traveled all over the world, spending many of his grade school and high school years in places such as Dakar, Senegal; Beirut, Lebanon; Tehran, Iran; and Athens, Greece. A graduate of Stanford University and Stanford Medical School, he went on to train at Harvard and in Denver in preparation for a career in emergency medicine and trauma. Dr. Parazynski is also physiologist with expertise in human adaptation to stressful environments.
In 1992 he was selected to join NASA’s Astronaut Corps and eventually flew 5 Space Shuttle Missions and conducted 7 spacewalks (EVAs). In his 17 years as an Astronaut, he served in numerous senior leadership roles, including EVA Branch Chief and the Lead Astronaut for Space Shuttle Thermal Protection System Inspection & Repair (in the aftermath of the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy). Mission highlights include a global ozone mapping mission on STS-66; leading the first joint US-Russian spacewalk during STS-86 while docked to the Russian space station Mir; serving as Senator John Glenn’s crewmate and “personal physician” during STS-95; and conducting EVA assembly of the Canadian-built space station arm during STS-100.
In October 2007, Dr. Parazynski led the EVA team on STS-120, a highly complex space station assembly flight, during which he performed 4 EVAs. The fourth and final EVA is regarded by many as one of the most challenging and dangerous ever performed. During the EVA he was positioned by a 90-foot robotic boom farther than any orbiting astronaut had ever ventured from the safety of their airlock. During this EVA he had to repair a fully energized solar array wing. The tremendous coordinated effort in orbit and on the ground by Mission Control and other engineering experts has been likened to the Space Shuttle and Space Station era’s “Apollo 13 moment.”
All told, Dr. Parazynski has spent over 8 weeks in space with more than 47 hours outside on spacewalks. While he has traveled over 23 million miles in orbit he has yet to earn a single frequent flyer mile!
In addition to being a life-long SCUBA diver and accomplished mountaineer, Scott is also a commercial, instrument, multiengine and seaplane-rated pilot with over 2,500 flight hours. He began climbing in his teens, and has climbed in the Alaska Range, the Cascades, the Rockies, the Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas. On his second attempt to scale Mt. Everest, on May 20, 2009, he became the first astronaut to stand on top of the world. Additionally, as part of a NASA-sponsored expedition to the high Andes, he conducted a scientific dive in the summit caldera lake of 19,700-foot Licancabur volcano, the world’s highest lake.
He currently serves as Chief Medical Officer and Director of the UTMB Center for Polar Medical Operations, helping oversee all medical screening and healthcare delivery in Antarctica for the National Science Foundation. He serves on the Boards of Directors of several organizations and companies, as well as on the visiting or adjunct faculty at several universities around the world.
Dr. Parazynski has numerous publications in the field of space physiology, and has a particular expertise in human adaptation to stressful environments.
He is the recipient of a number of prestigious awards, including: five NASA Spaceflight Medals, two NASA Distinguished Service Medals, two NASA Exceptional Service Medals, two Vladimir Komarov Diplomas from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, two Flight Achievement Awards from the American Astronomical Association, the Aviation Week Laureate Award, the Ellis Island Family Heritage Award, Gold Medal from the American Institute of Polish Culture, the National Eagle Scout Association Outstanding Eagle Award, the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland and the Lowell Thomas Award from the Explorers Club. Additionally, he a member of the Arkansas Aviation Hall of Fame and was awarded the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa from the Military University of Technology in Warsaw, Poland.read less

A H-IIA rocket launched at around 2:30 pm (0530 GMT) from the Tanegashima space focus in southern Japan, as indicated by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
The rocket effectively discharged the “Michibiki” No.3 satellite around 30 minutes in the wake of propelling.
“The rocket flew as arranged, and the office affirmed that the Michibiki No.3 was discharged without any variations from the norm 28 minutes and 37 seconds after the dispatch,” an official explanation said.
The dispatch was at first planned a week ago however was put off because of a specialized glitch.
Satellite geolocation frameworks, at first intended for the US military, now control incalculable regular citizen applications, from auto route to web perusing on cell phones.
Japan depends on the US-worked Global Positioning System (GPS). Saturday’s dispatch was a piece of a more extensive arrangement to fabricate a household rendition with four satellites concentrating on the nation and more extensive locale.
The principal satellite was put into space in 2010 and the second was propelled in June.
The fourth is to be propelled by March 2018 to fire up the administration.
The Japan-fabricated framework will at present need to work couple with GPS.
In spite of the fact that GPS is generally utilized as a part of Japan, having supplementary satellites is imperative in a nation where rocky landscape and high structures may meddle with its signs.
Michibiki, signifying “direction” in Japanese, will cover the Asia-Oceania locale and is expected for regular citizen utilize.
Japan intends to help the quantity of its satellites in circle to seven by around 2023. | aerospace |

This was the last certification hurdle for the machine, which received FAA approval in June. The Terrafugia will be subjected to further testing before shipping begins from the manufacturer’s Massachusetts plant sometime next year.
Terrafugia says the Transition, which notched its maiden flight in 2009, is “the first (light airplane) to incorporate automotive safety features such as a purpose-built energy absorbing crumple zone, a rigid carbon fiber occupant safety cage, and automotive-style driver and passenger airbags. The wings on the 19-foot-long two-seater take less than a minute to fold. In flying mode, it has a wingspan of 26 feet, and a width of 90 inches in driving mode. It has a range of nearly 500 miles.”
Does this mean that everyone will be buying a flying car? Probably not. You’ll need a driver’s license and a sport pilot lisence to operate the Terrafugia, as well as around $250,000 to buy one. The company is already taking reservations, and reports that they have already received around 100 orders. | aerospace |

In the European Theater, P-47 pilots were responsible for destroying more than 7,000 enemy aircraft—more than half in air-to-air combat. Though at least twice as heavy as the Supermarine Spitfire, the Thunderbolt was surprisingly agile and fast. It was well-regarded for its exceptional diving ability—considered crucial by ace pilots—and how it transformed that energy into climbing power to get back into the fight.
As an escort plane for bombers, it more than held its own against the best the Luftwaffe had despite its range limitations. With eight .50-caliber machineguns and the capability of carrying rockets and bombs, the P-47 was a formidable aircraft against ground targets.
And rugged too. The Thunderbolt could take a lot of damage. It was designed to be rugged and became a preeminent fighter of World War II, flying in all major theaters and developing this mythic quality because of its durability.
The P-47 was the aircraft my grandfather's 396Th Fighter Squadron Thunderbumbs and was one of the first American squadrons to land at strip A3 Cardonville, France during the Normandy invasion.

Special to The Union
Words of remembrance echoed through an overflow crowd in Hangar I-8 on the flightline of Beale Air Force Base on Thursday. Family and friends said goodbye to Lt. Col. Steve “Shooter” Eadie.
The stories described a dedicated family man, loyal friend, elite flying instructor and notorious prankster during his memorial service — eight days after Eadie was killed when a two-seat U-2 trainer went down in the Sutter Buttes.
Eadie, 46, was one of six evaluator pilots who interviewed and trained new U-2 pilots and served as the assistant director of operations for the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron. He was posthumously awarded the Meritorious Service Medal during the ceremony.
Lt. Col. Paul Wurster, the 1st Reconnaissance Squadron commander, said Eadie held himself accountable for everything he did and took on significant responsibilities. He was in charge of running all of the squadron’s maintenance functional check flights and conducted interview flights with potential new pilots.
“He did our hardest duty, which is flying with interviewees who are trying to pledge our program, and this is where I last saw him, waiting at the desk for an airplane to get fueled, smiling,” Wurster said. “He was genuinely happy and excited to take somebody up on that first flight in the U-2.”
Speakers said Eadie was the instructor who signed off on the 1,000th pilot to solo the U-2. His legacy at Beale remains in the 23 pilots who graduated to fly the Dragon Lady under his tutelage and countless more he helped since he arrived in the U-2 program in 2009.
Eadie came to the program after spending 13 years in the Navy. He regularly deployed and flew missions overseas.

With newest generation wide body aircraft, like the Airbus 350 and the Boeing 787 series, any airport can be connected to any other airport around the world without a time consuming stop!
From the technical point of view, this task is achievable now.
This type of business model is very profitable for the airline as well as for a special group of passengers.
Even so these new generation aircraft fly with a lower cabin altitude in cruise, which also increases the air humidity in the cabin, human bodies still are at risk!
The unsolved task is the physiological and psychological restriction of the human body; passengers as well as aircrews.
Thrombosis, insufficient blood circulation and psychological stress are some serious issues, which have to be solved for a flight of 20 hours duration.
Various airlines around the world are researching this problem.
It is crystal clear, that if these ULR-flights are conducted, they are highly profitable. But only, if the flights don’t have to stop enroute for medical emergencies!
The team of ProAirX PTE Ltd is conducting airline consulting for economical efficiency, route structure planning and aircraft specifications.
Due to the vast experience in airline management, the following worldwide patent for massage in flight was developed and registered in accordance with German law.
The massage in flight container MIFC® follows the design of an ULD, which has common dimensions for any wide body aircraft.
Therefore, the MIFC® can be removed or installed during ground operations within reasonable time. The system is highly adaptable to the needs; similar to the Crew rest Containers. Various numbers of these MIFC® can/ should/ must be installed for each single ULR flight!
It is our recommendation that at least 2 MIFC® should be on board of any ULR flight. The key argument is safety of flight for Crew and passengers, which is increased drastically by this tool. Individual consulting will be offered and required.
The MIFC® consists of:
2 massage benches
1 shower cabin
1 chair for changing clothes or foot massage.
The in flight massage program will be adapted to the physiological needs of each passenger!
Taking a shower after the massage will be a highlight for each passenger and crew!
In case of any sickness of a passenger/ crew, the MIFC® can be modified into a mobile hospital room with all necessary emergency equipment available. Privacy of the patient is guaranteed- which is a huge advantage in regards of the psychological effects on patient and fellow passengers!
ProAirX team has the appropriate recommendations and professional assistance for the type and style of massage as well as the medical professionals at hand. The team consists of:
Mrs. Â Anh, the owner and CEO of VinaSpa in HoChiMinh City,
is our specialist for training and certification of massage professionals. She holds various internationally recognized degrees from Japan, Vietnam, USA and Thailand. Mrs. Anh will train and design the massage programs to satisfy the inflight requirements, adapting to the individual needs of the passenger.
Dr. Peter w. Frank, MD PhD GP AvMed OcM, EASA and FAA Senior medical Specialist
is our medical advisor. He accumulated decades of experience as doctor, specialized in aeronautical training and certification in Germany and USA.
Test Pilot (retired) and Chief delivery pilot (retired) Airbus 330/350
ready for immediate consulting ,independent of Airbus company opinion.
Capt. / Master of Science Air& Space technologies Juergen R Grafmueller
with management experience, having accumulated in excess of 10000 hrs long range worldwide operations in different companies.
Access to many more professionals in various long range operators (low cost/traditional) around the world! Wide network to pilots, managers, technicians, cabin crew, route specialists available!
ProAirX is front running the consultations on this new challenge.
There is no doubt, that market leadership will be the key element for efficiency and profitability for airlines, crews and passengers!
Furthermore, once this service will be offered from a single airline; all others in the ULR-flights segment will have to follow. We are even confident to say, that the MIFC® will be implemented on every Long Range flight in excess of 10 hours flight time. | aerospace |

Following the discovery of hairline cracks in three aircraft of this type, the australian airline qantas is inspecting several aircraft of the same design. The U.S. Federal aviation administration (FAA) had already ordered an urgent special inspection at the beginning of the month, as a result of which a number of 737 ngs were taken out of service. But probably the problem has a much bigger dimension than assumed so far.
On thursday, it was initially only a matter of a crack: "this machine has been taken out of service for repairs," a qantas spokesman had told dpa. Then on friday, the company announced that it had already discovered hairline cracks in three boeing 737 NG aircraft. A total of 33 passenger aircraft of this type are now to be inspected at the australian airline alone. What is explosive is that these are probably jets of a type for which the FAA had not previously required rapid inspections. Because the planes have more than 22.600 takeoffs and landings behind it, the FAA initially only referred to those with more than 30.000.
On friday, however, the all-clear was given by the vacation airlines tuifly and sunexpress. "We ran all checks according to the manufacturer’s specifications and also checked some aircraft as a precaution," said a tui spokesman in hanover on friday. "We have not found any abnormalities." Lufthansa’s subsidiary sunexpress, which like tuifly relies on this type of aircraft for short- and medium-haul flights, had to inspect 20 jets. But there have been no abnormalities or even structural cracks, a spokeswoman said.
Europe’s rude low-cost carrier ryanair, whose fleet consists entirely of 737-NG 737-800 aircraft, appeared relaxed despite the news from australia. "Ryanair continues to inspect its aircraft in accordance with airworthiness directives and does not anticipate any impact on our connections or fleet availability," the airline said in response to a query.
The risk of cracks exists in key components used to attach the wings to the aircraft fuselage. In aviation jargon, the parts are called "pickle forks" because they resemble cucumber forks. Under heavy load, the 737 ngs can apparently wear out faster than expected. Boeing has so far only stated that it is actively supporting customers in investigating the 737 NG. All operators had been given detailed instructions, and they were also involved in any necessary repairs.
The australian licensed aircraft engineers association appealed to the airline to ground all 77 aircraft of this type.
When asked, an FAA spokeswoman pointed out that the agency had already ordered inspections for newer 737 ngs with fewer takeoffs and landings at the beginning of october. However, only older aircraft with particularly high loads had to be checked for cracks within seven days. This should not change for the time being. As a result of the urgent special inspection, cracks were found in about five percent of the examined jets. They have to be repaired and are not allowed to take off for the time being.
The boeing 737 NG is the predecessor model of the 737 max. The 737-max models have been grounded since mid march because of two crashes with a total of 346 fatalities. A faulty control program at boeing is considered to be a decisive cause of the accident. Whether and when the planes were allowed to take off again depends on international regulatory authorities and is currently unclear.
It’s about more than paying attention

The new spaceship, which is a crucial component of Elon Musk and SpaceX’s aspirations for the future of space travel, is nearing orbital testing. The business intends to one-day transport people to Mars. However, a new launchpad in Florida is being built to launch the Starships into orbit.
On December 3, Musk tweeted, “Work on that facility has now commenced.”

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 4, 2021
Known as Starship, it will be a next-generation, totally reusable rocket that will be capable of transporting up to 100 passengers to Mars. In addition, since it is reusable, the Starship can be re-fueled with propellant after returning from orbit and be ready to launch again in a short amount of time – much like an airplane. This lowers the overall cost of the whole business.
The founder of SpaceX has talked often about his ambition to establish communities on the planet Mars. In reality, the fundamental goal of SpaceX was to expand human existence to other planets. He believes that establishing human settlements on other worlds, like as Mars, will help to preserve civilization in the event of a calamity on Earth.
“The course of history will be divided into two distinct streams. One possibility is that humanity will continue to exist on Earth indefinitely, and then there will be some kind of extinction disaster “Musk had said back in 2016.
He had also said that in order for communities to become self-sustaining, a huge number of people would need to be there.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is constructing a starship launchpad for trips to Mars and the Moon.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc., published photos of his firm SpaceX’s Mars mission Starship rockets on Saturday, claiming that they will be real soon.
“We will soon make these real,” Musk tweeted a day after revealing that SpaceX has begun the building of an orbital launchpad for trips to the Moon and Mars at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
On Friday, Musk tweeted, “Construction of the Starship orbital launch pad at the Cape has started.”
According to a CNBC article on Friday, NASA stated that SpaceX is “within the rights of their leasing agreement to perform launch infrastructure enhancements inside the bounds of the pad.” The space agency has said that it will not be funding the Starship launchpad.
SpaceX’s ultimate objective is to send an unmanned trip to Mars in 2024, followed by a crewed mission in 2026.
SpaceX faces “a genuine risk of bankruptcy” due to lack of progress in developing the Raptor engines that will power the Starship rocket, according to Musk, who told employees on Nov. 26 that the company faces “a genuine risk of bankruptcy” due to lack of progress in developing the Raptor engines that will power the Starship rocket.
The Raptor manufacturing situation, according to Musk, is far worse than it seemed a few weeks ago.
“If we do not accomplish a Starship flying rate of at least once every two weeks next year,” Musk added, “we face a true danger of bankruptcy.”
The prototype of SpaceX’s Starship SN11, which is being built for a future voyage to Mars, crashed during a test landing attempt in March.
SpaceX said in August that it planned to utilize its Starship rocket as the main vehicle for delivering satellites into orbit in filings with the Federal Communications Commission. | aerospace |

Netflix has renewed its original comedy Space Force for a season 2. Space Force premiered in May and quickly soared to become one of Netflix’s most-watched shows. However, critics were less receptive to the series and thought it could use some work if it were to be renewed.
THR confirms that Space Force will be returning for a second season. However, there will likely be notable differences between seasons 1 and 2. The show will undergo a “creative revamp” under the supervision of showrunner Greg Daniels (The Office.) Norm Hiscock (Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) will join Daniels as a showrunner. Jimmy O. Yang, who plays Dr. Chan Kaifang, will also join the writing staff. The TV series has also moved its filming location from Los Angeles to Vancouver.
Space Force is set to start filming in 2021. It currently does not have a release date. In addition to Steve Carrell (The Office) in the lead role, John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz, Tawny Newsome, Diana Silvers and Yang will return as co-stars. While the cast and crew of Space Force clearly have a lot to prove for season 2, it is nothing the former The Office team are unfamiliar with. In fact, The Office almost wasn’t renewed for season 2, but after a major creative upheaval, the show survived and became one of the most successful sitcoms of all times.
Space Force stars Carell as Gen. Mark R. Naird, a decorated pilot who is tapped to lead the newly formed sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces: Space Force. Despite his skepticism about the job, Mark uproots his family and moves to a remote base in Colorado, where he and a colorful team of scientists are tasked by the White House with achieving total space dominance.

Even though it was unintentional, NASA has discovered a man-made bubble around Earth.
They shared the news in the Space Science Reviews. The bubble was discovered by a robotic mission that NASA launched back in 2012. Although you cannot see the radio waves or the high-energy radiation, the bubble is actually visible from space crafts. Back in 1963, the US Military tried to create a bubble of their own with a porject called Project West Ford. They sent whisker-thin copper wires into orbit to try and form a ring around the Earth. This, of course, did not work but they finally got their bubble with a little help from the universe.
Radio communications from the ground interact with particles in space creating the bubble. The particles are high-energy radiation and help form a protective barrier around Earth. But it does not have to do with what the bubble holds in, rather what it keeps out. The protective barrier helps shield the planet from space weather that can be extremely dangerous. This weather includes solar flares and other activity from the sun. Solar flares are huge amounts of energy but the activity includes coronal mass ejections which discharge hot material called plasma. When these events happen, radiation particles enter Earth’s atmosphere and can not only disrupt radio waves but overload power grids.
The radio waves creating the bubble are used to communicate with submarines that reside near the surface of the ocean. The waves are very low frequency, VLF, and are projected off the ground. However, some waves stretch all the way into the atmosphere where they have begun an unexpected dance with the radiation. | aerospace |

Extensive screening at security lines, which may include x-rays and metal detectors to check for such contraband, is part and parcel of the flying experience for most travelers.
While enormous attention and resources have been directed to making airports and airplanes safer over the past 15 years, not as much has been invested in ensuring cyber security in the skies. Today's aircraft and air traffic control systems depend upon complex communications infrastructure that is vulnerable to attack.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 and the rising awareness of the cyber threat to aviation
When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing last year, some initial speculation centered on the possibility of a cyber attack that compromised the plane's navigation and life support systems. Investigators eventually concluded that a hypoxia or unresponsive crew event was the more likely cause of the disappearance.
Still, MH370, with its unexpected deviation from course, provided a moment to think about addressing the many vulnerabilities on an aircraft, including susceptibility to cyber crime. Possibilities for disruption include:
- Using a phone, tablet or other USB- and/or Ethernet-enabled device to connect to and hijack the airplane's infotainment system (many seats in business class cabins come equipped with USB and Ethernet ports).
- Taking control of critical avionics systems from a laptop, via in-air Wi-Fi service that may run through the same internal wiring and routers.
- Tricking airplane navigation into sensing that it is flying higher than it really is, leading to a crash landing a la the film "Die Hard 2" (the International Air Transport Association has specifically floated this scenario).
In 2013, Trend Micro researchers discovered similar issues with the Automatic Identification System required on commercial non-fishing vessels weighing over 300 metric tons and all passenger ships. One of the problems identified with AIS vulnerabilities was the potential for an attacker to modify existing data and inject new information that could divert marine aircraft during a rescue scenario.
The broader issue affecting boats, airplanes and vehicles of all kinds is the intersection of legacy communications protocols and systems with the emerging Internet of Things, in which billions of endpoints are connected by IP networks. Critical infrastructure that was once isolated is now exposed to the wide reach of the Internet and software.
"AIS is only one example of a critical radio based system that was designed in a world before the Internet or software-defined radio," observed Trend Micro's Kyle Wilhoit and Marco Balduzzi in October 2013. "The problem is bigger than marine traffic alone. Other systems such as ADS-B (used by airplanes), or soon to be released systems around car communication suffer from some of the same limitations and vulnerabilities."
U.S. government pushes for upgraded cyber security to protect aircraft
The weakness of transportation communication protocols, the disappearance of MH370 and the slow upgrade cycle of commercial aircraft have combined to spur the U.S. public sector into action. For example, the Government Accountability Office recently issued a report revealingly titled "Information Security: FAA Needs to Address Weaknesses in Air Traffic Control Systems," based on an investigation of Federal Aviation Administration IT systems that began in August 2013.
The study's authors pointed out that remote hijackings, malware installation and infiltration of navigation systems were all possibilities due to the growing IP connectivity of today's aircraft. They made 17 recommendations for improving cyber security in the skies, including strengthening access controls and implementing real-time data monitoring to detect anomalous traffic.
These pieces of advice are similar to the actions that private enterprises increasingly have to take in order to secure their IT infrastructure from cyber threats. Although airplanes have many safeguards in place to counteract attacks, in the end many of these mechanisms (such as the firewalls that separate the in-flight Wi-Fi network from the avionics systems) are just software and as such are vulnerable to circumvention. Modern tools, such as deep discovery solutions, and sensible processes and reporting can provide the basis for sustainable security throughout airplanes.
Much of the burden for overhauling airplane safety and security naturally falls to the FAA. The agency has a mixed track record in this area. The GAO report found that the FAA had not updated its strategy since 2010. Previously, the FAA's measures did not bring its IT systems into compliance with regulations introduced in 2002.
In the wake of the GAO report, U.S. Senator Charles Schumer remarked on the work ahead for the FAA. He compared the potential fallout from a cyber attack on an airplane to what happened in late 2014 to Sony Pictures after its systems were hacked and many terabytes of sensitive data were exposed to cyber criminals.
"FAA computers have system-wide failings that leave the agency's air traffic control systems vulnerable to hacking, which could expose sensitive aviation data or even shutdown the system while thousands of planes are in the air," stated Schumer. "We all saw what happened at Sony: One can only imagine the immediate risk posed by a hacking of the FAA's air traffic control and computer systems, in addition to the national security risk posed if foreign nationals or terrorists get their hands on the FAA's sensitive and encrypted data."
Airplane security for the future
It is easy to imagine the impact of a major cyber attack against the aviation system. The disappearance of MH370 also provided a look at what could happen if critical transportation infrastructure were compromised.
Fortunately, the FAA has already acknowledged the importance of following the GAO's recommendations. Coordination between agencies will be critical as airplanes and air traffic control systems evolve from isolated infrastructure into components of the broader IoT.
Cyber security measures like networking monitoring, access controls and anti-malware protection will be critical to the planes of tomorrow. With the right mechanisms in place, airplane security can be brought in line with the most relevant threats of today and tomorrow. | aerospace |

By December 2008, NASA awarded SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract for Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) to the International Space Station (ISS).
In 2011 SpaceX publicly announced the Reusable Launch System Development Program. In March 2017, SpaceX relaunched the used rocket and brought it back by landing it in the ocean, safely.
In March 2019, SpaceX conducted the maiden launch of its new iteration of the Dragon spacecraft, known as Crew Dragon, the first manned Crew Dragon mission is set the year 2020.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Lift off! And SpaceX makes history.
On December 21, 2015, the Falcon 9 rocket delivered 11 communications satellites to orbit. During this launch, SpaceX attempted a propulsive landing for a Falcon 9, the first stage successfully returned from space and landed at Landing Zone 1. This is the first time in history an orbital class rocket landed on the pad.
“It’s kind of amazing that this window of opportunity is open for life to go beyond Earth. And we just don’t know how long that window is going to be open. But the thing that gets me most fired up is that creating a self- sustaining civilization on Mars, it would be the greatest adventure ever, ever in human history. It would be so exciting to wake up in the morning and think that that’s what’s happening.”
- Elon Musk, Founder, SpaceX.
SpaceX has been really exciting and it has revolutionized the public interest in space exploration and rockets and
The company has become the household name in America and its little wonder why. Founded by the eccentric and controversial Elon Musk, the rocket builder is now one of the most valuable private companies in the world, ranking among the likes of Uber and Airbnb. Elon Musk founded SpaceX with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. Musk envisions a future where humans live in a spacefaring civilization, frequent voyages from Earth to Mars and vice-versa.
"Consciousness is a very rare and precious thing, we should take whatever steps we can to preserve the light of consciousness. We should do our very best to become a multiplanet species, extend consciousness beyond Earth and we should do it now." Elon Musk, Founder, SpaceX.
Story Behind the Foundation of SpaceX
In 2001, Musk conceptualized a project to land a miniature experimental greenhouse on Mars. Musk travelled to Russia to buy refurbished Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles also known as ICBMs to send colony of mice to Mars. Russian offered to sell one rocket at $8 million USD. Musk felt it was artificially overpriced, they even taunted Elon Musk. “They said, ‘Oh, little boy, you don’t have the money?” to which Musk replied “I think we can build a rocket ourselves.”
On the flight back from Moscow, Musk realized that he could start a company that could build the affordable rockets he needed. Musk calculated that the raw materials for building a rocket actually were only 3% of the sales price of a rocket at the time. SpaceX could cut the launch price by a factor of ten and still enjoy a 70% gross margin.
With $100 million USD, Musk founded SpaceX, in May 2002 with the intention of building spacecraft for commercial space travel. To reach this height of success where it is today, SpaceX has worked hard through ups and downs. Here's a rundown of SpaceX's greatest achievements!
In 2006 The first SpaceX rocket failed in just 33 seconds after lift-off. In 2007 and in 2008 the 2nd and the 3rd chance to establish Company’s credibility also ended in failure. Now, Musk had money that could only fund the 4th launch. History was made. Falcon 1 became the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to orbit the Earth. Since then, there was no looking back for SpaceX and Elon Musk.
On December 23, 2008, NASA awarded SpaceX $1.6 billion Dollar contract to handle cargo transplant for the International Space Station.
By December 2010, SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule became the first privately developed spacecraft in history to launch and re-enter from low-Earth orbit. It also became the first private company to send a Dragon to the International Space Station in May 2012. That step was crucial because the technology proved it could safely dock to the orbiting station.
In 2011, . After few failure attempts, SpaceX achieved a successful landing and recovery of a first stage in December 2015.
In April 2016, the Falcon 9 rocket launched the Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station, and the rocket booster returned to land vertically on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship. This event, was very exciting for the company because its goal is to achieve rocket reusability. In March 2017, SpaceX relaunched the used rocket and brought it back by landing it in the ocean. It was a perfect landing. All rockets are designed to burn up on reentry, but SpaceX rockets can not only withstand reentry, it can also successfully land back on Earth and refly again. Musk believes a fully and rapidly reusable rocket is needed to reduce the cost of Space travel.
Today in 2019, we see SpaceX rockets flawlessly return from space, landing both on land and at sea -this truly became the company's signature feat!
The first reuse of an orbital rocket happened in March 2017. SpaceX achieved the world's first-second reflight of an orbital class Falcon 9 rocket after the delivery of cargo to space. Musk said that day:
"It means you can fly and refly an orbital class booster, which is the most expensive part of the rocket. This is going to be, ultimately, a huge revolution in spaceflight."
SpaceX’s most recent achievement to date is its Falcon Heavy test flight, which in February 2018 was the first attempt to launch a Falcon Heavy rocket. After a
successful launch, the Falcon Heavy is now the most powerful rocket in operation anywhere in the world. The payload dummy was Musk’s Tesla Roadster sports car, with a dummy astronaut called “Starman" in its driving seat.
In March 2019, , which will be used to transport NASA astronauts to the ISS and return them safely to Earth.
Starlink is the name of a satellite network that the private spaceflight company SpaceX is developing to provide low-cost internet to remote locations. SpaceX launched its first two Starlink test craft, named TinTinA and TinTinB, in 2018. The mission went smoothly.
The first 60 Starlink satellites were launched on May 23, 2019, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The satellites successfully reached their operational altitude of 340 miles. Within days of the first launch, skywatchers spotted a linear pearl string of lights as the satellites whizzed overhead in the early morning. The International Astronomical Union expressed concerns in a statement released in June 2019. ", and we urge their designers and deployers as well as policy-makers to work with the astronomical community in a concerted effort to analyse and understand the impact of satellite constellations," the statement said.
So far, SpaceX has flown 19 Dragon spacecraft CRS resupply missions to the International Space Station (ISS) under a partnership contract with NASA. Every single docking with the ISS proved it could successfully transport humans one day.
On the bright side, SpaceX has now aced all its major tests, and could take astronauts into space for its first crewed flight to the space station in just a couple of months. Doug Hurley, one of the NASA astronauts scheduled to fly on that mission, described Sunday's test as "kind of the final exam," adding, "We're getting really close to our flight."
According to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, the Crew Dragon hardware for that mission should ready by February, and the mission should be ready to go "in the second quarter."
Starship is the next. ". SpaceX will ultimately replace all their rockets and spacecraft with Starship. Engineers are utilizing all their previous technological achievements and knowledge to develop this next-generation craft with the promise to take humans to the Moon, Mars, and beyond! | aerospace |

Our task-based methodology centers on meaningful tasks that prepare language learners for real-life situations, including safety protocols and regulations to ensure safe air travel. When outdated language programs are in place, learners are ill-prepared, especially in an emergency. Below we explore one specific tragedy that still haunts those in aviation today and how efficient language training can prevent future crises.
Tragedy in the Air
Ask any pilot flying into New York City’s JFK airport and they will unequivocally tell you that dealing with air traffic controllers in this city is intimidating. Typically, these statements are made by experienced pilots who are native English speakers, and they say this with good reason. New York’s airspace is among the busiest in the world. Now imagine for a moment your native language isn’t English and you and your flight crew are up against some fast-talking, impatient New Yorker in the air traffic control booth. It’s a potential recipe for disaster.
This is the exact terrifying scenario that led to the crash of Avianca Flight 52 from Bogotá, Colombia to New York City in 1990. Severe weather conditions kept the aircraft in a holding pattern, unable to land without permission for more than an hour, although the plane’s fuel level was dangerously low. Remaining professional, yet aware of their dire state, the Avianca flight crew communicated their situation as best they could to the crew on the ground. Sadly, according to transcripts, the flight crew failed to use the correct terminology, was unable to convey a sense of urgency, and more specifically, made no mention of the word “emergency” at all. In the end, JFK’s air traffic control team underestimated the distress call and in a matter of moments the plane crashed, killing 73 of the 158 people on board. Following the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board determined the Avianca crash happened as a result of the crew’s failure to properly communicate a fuel emergency.
This crash could have been avoided. Yet, regrettably, incidents like this are not isolated.
Increased Airline Traffic and Filling Language Gaps
Another aviation organization, The International Air Transport Association (IATA), released its 20-year passenger forecast projecting air traffic from 2018 to 2038. The IATA forecast explicitly states which emerging markets will see a rise in airline passenger traffic. Of the emerging markets mentioned in Latin America to see increased aviation traffic, Brazil and Mexico lead the list. Now more than ever, it is important for those in the aviation business to think about the English language training needs of their employees and which language gaps need to be filled. While still only a recommendation by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), “Aviation English” is the only accepted aviation language worldwide for pilots in civilian aviation, but a need still exists for content-based language training in the aviation industry. English language training for other crew members is equally important and should be a requirement. Implementing an efficient English language training program will help employees communicate effectively and save lives.
Taking the potential aviation emergencies that can happen into account, Voxy is well aware of the English language gaps that exist in this industry. The ability to communicate well in an emergency is indispensable. In addition to language training offerings, Voxy has extensive experience working with businesses to integrate their content (manuals, handbooks, and beyond) into specific language lessons for employees. The time is now, not later, to help avert an aviation catastrophe due to language barriers.

(REUTERS)
South Africa is expected to launch its third satellite into space next month.
The satellite ZA-Cuba will join Sunsat and Sumbandla which was launched in 2009.
Students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology designed the satellite.
Speaking at the World Space Week celebrations in Kimberley, Science and Technology Department Director-General Phil Mjwara says the satellite will be used to observe the earth for research purposes.
"This is a small experimental tube satellite so it's a satellite which usually is built by students in partnership with universities and in this case Cape Peninsula University of Technology has been working on this small experimental satellite which I believe by now will be ready for possible launch in late November."
Speaking at the same event, Lorenzo Raynard of the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement says their role is to fund research programmes and to expose school children to the world of science.
"Our function as part of the NRF is to make sure that the public is provided with access to that research information so our involvement here as part of the world space week we are implement partner on behalf of the DST so we have been co-ordinating activities across the country to celebrate 'World Space Week' this year." | aerospace |

It was composed of two calibrated cameras: one equipped with a narrowband filter at 763 nm to maximize the contrast between sprites and lightning, and the other to monitor lightning. The LSO was operated at night during 15 days from 2001 to 2004 during which 197 lightning flashes, several sprites, hundreds of gas flares, and tens of cities were analyzed. The main strength of this experiment was its high spatial resolution of about 400 m. The structural details of some lightning are thus observed highlighting complex systems. Some features such as the nonlinear increase of the lightning-illuminated cloud top area with the peak radiance and the radial decrease of the lightning flash radiance were quantified. The median area is 129 km2 with median minor and major axes of 12 and 16 km. Two methods of sprite identification are presented and applied to the most intense sprite events observed by LSO. The sprite diameter is 5 km and it is shifted of about 22 km from the center of the parent lightning. A ratio of 1.7% is deduced for lightning flashes between the radiances measured by both cameras. These observations should be useful for the preparation or the analysis of future space missions dedicated to nadir-viewing observations of sprites.

NASA determined there was a “bleed” in Engine 3 of the spacecraft, which led the agency to scrub the launch.
The official line from NASA is that the launch has been put on hold due to “technical issues.” NASA hasn’t announced a makeup launch date at this time, but the next opportunity would be Friday or Monday.
Retired NASA engineer Homer Hickam appeared on Fox Weather shortly after the announcement and said that as soon as he heard of the issues with the engine, he knew the launch wouldn’t happen today. He also said that the timing of a new launch date would depend on whether NASA needs to move the spacecraft back to the Vehicle Assembly Building or if the repairs can take place on the launch pad.
Hickam also said that other launches on the schedule for this week would prevent putting Artemis 1 back on the schedule until at least Friday, even if engineers can repair the engine quickly.
Stay tuned. We’ll have more coverage when the launch finally takes place. | aerospace |

A: This is Greg Morgan from WSUR. If you’ve been following our focus program this week you know we’ve been taking a look at the space program starting with its history, the impact of the cold war on the race for space, the indirect benefits from technology, and of course the questions of safety. Today, the question we’re asking is about money: The space program is obviously expensive. Is it worth the money our government spends on it? Or should that money be spent elsewhere? We went downtown to ask some local people for their opinions on the space program.
A: Hello there. We’re trying to find out how the local population feels about the space program. Would you mind answering some questions?
B: No, I’d be glad to. I think space exploration is important, especially if we want to keep our place in history. But, you know, with all the problems and accidents lately, uh, I think we should stop sending people into space.
A: So, are you saying we should shut down the space program?
B: No, actually I have a better idea. I think for now we should just conduct robotic missions-I mean, send robots into space, like the robot they sent up to Mars a few years ago. A mission like that may not capture the public attention the way the shuttle flights with astronauts do, but they’re faster and cheaper. In some ways, the robots can do more than humans, like going into areas that we wouldn’t dare send astronauts. Plus robots can operate for long periods of time-without food and water. It’s more cost-effective.
A: It would still be expensive, wouldn’t it?
B: Well, yeah. It’s not going to be cheap – probably billions, but from what I’ve read we’re only spending a small chunk of the national budget on exploring space.
A: I think it’s about 1 ¾ currently.
B: See. That’s… that’s nothing. So, yeah I support the program.
A: Thank you.
A: Hello, sir. Would you mind telling our local listeners what you think about the space program?
C: Yeah, OK. What about it?
A: Well, for example, do you think the space program is worth the expense?
C: Well, in general I have to say I think there are a lot of more pressing needs here on earth we need to tend to first-like finding jobs for the unemployed, helping the homeless. I mean, how do you explain to someone sleeping on a park bench in winter that we’re spending tons of money to send a couple of folks into outer space but we can’t provide shelter for everyone who needs it?!!
A: Good point.
C: It’s kind of obvious, if you ask me. I need to get going though.
A: Sure. Thank you for your time.
A: Hello, could I ask you what you think about the space program? Do you think it’s worthwhile?
D: Yes, I do. I know a lot of people are of the opinion that it’s a waste of money, because well, it seems pointless. Some think that astronauts just go up and float around in the space station, do some experiments and then come back home. But, you know there are many benefits to space exploration that people aren’t even aware of. Just consider all the things that were made in space for example.
A: You mean things made for space, like space blankets and freeze-dried food. Stuff like that?
D: No, no, not for space – products made only in space, uh, like crystals – they can make perfect crystals in space. And they’re also making some alloys – blends of metals that we can’t combine on earth.
A: That’s interesting. I must say that I wasn’t aware of that.
D: Oh, I’ve always been fascinated with space. I like to check out the Websites for the latest news – watch the launches and so on.
A: OK. Thanks for talking with us.
A: Hello, Miss. Would you mind telling our listeners whether you think the space program is worthwhile?
E: Why, yes of course. I’m a science teacher and I think it’s very important for many reasons. For example, you probably know we’re going to Venus. Scientists are hoping to find some clues as to what caused severe global warming on Venus and help prevent the same thing from happening here on earth. Another reason I support space exploration is because of the exciting opportunities it opens up for global cooperation to develop new infrastructures.
A: Something I hadn’t thought of – you mean like some kind of international government agencies and police?
E: Yes, it’ll take a lot of careful thought and collaboration, but it’s exciting, don’t you think? Beyond that, there’s just the fact that the space program has also led to the invention of many important products. Many things you and I use every day were created for use in space. Take bar codes, for example. They were designed to keep track of the millions of parts that make up a spacecraft. Now we use them not only to ring up costs at the counter but to keep track of inventory as well.
A: I never knew bar codes came from the space program.
E: Yes, and there’s more: smoke detectors, cordless tools, joy stick controllers, the monitoring systems used in the intensive care units, and even those rescue cutters they use to cut through cars to extract people who have been in serious car accidents – they’re powered by miniature versions of technology that’s used to separate things on the space shuttle.
A: Fascinating. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Brussels, 17 december 2020 - See below what was discussed in this plenary session (14 to 17 december 2020) and how the MEP Francisco Guerreiro (Greens/EFA) voted.
Conclusion of the EU-Japan Civil Aviation Safety Agreement (A9-0239/2020 - Cláudia Monteiro de Aguiar)
I voted in favour of this recommendation as it focuses on the Bilateral Civil Aviation Safety Agreement between the European Union and Japan, which establishes obligations and methods of cooperation between the respective authorities and technical agents, standardizing certification and inspection procedures, concerning, for instance, the manufacture of aeronautical components and devices.
The Agreement also covers relevant issues in terms of airworthiness and environmental certification, as well as personnel licensing and training, and other areas related to aviation safety that are subject to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention), promoting assumptions of reciprocal trust that leads to greater efficiency, avoiding the duplication of assessments and procedures.
In this regard, it should be emphasized that, although this document reports on matters related to aviation safety, the procedures of the European Green Deal must be taken into account, ensuring that the abovementioned Agreement will not trigger an additional number of flights between the EU and Japan (and therefore more emissions of gases that are harmful to the climate) in the coming months and years. | aerospace |
https://topicofthetown.com/nasa-is-offering-up-to-20000-to-anyone-who-can-design-a-better-space-toilet-for-astronauts-sent-out-to-the-moon.html | 2023-09-28T18:30:39 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510427.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20230928162907-20230928192907-00585.warc.gz | 0.934866 | 1,344 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__155482229 | en | Smithsonian / Dave Mosher / Business Insider
NASA needs a new toilet for going to the moon, one that will work for both men and women, and function both in microgravity, and on the lunar surface.
The agency is crowdsourcing ideas for the toilet, with a “Lunar Loo” challenge. Top prize is $20,000.
Historically, most space toilets have been little more than a bag and a hose with a vacuum.
The last time humans landed on the lunar surface, in December 1972, they were all basically wearing diapers.
That’s because NASA never really bothered to design a proper toilet for the Apollo moon missions, and instead astronauts peed into roll on cuffs, pooped into bags, and used space diapers when they ventured out of the spacecraft in their big bulky spacesuits.
Nearly five decades later, as the US prepares to re-launch astronauts to the lunar surface by 2024, the space agency is hoping to do things a little more comfortably this time.
“The astronauts were adamant that they do not want to go back to the Apollo bags,” NASA’s Mike Interbartolo, who’s part of the agency’s lunar lander engineering team, told Business Insider.
“We need a toilet that needs to work for seven days on the surface of the moon, as well as during that transit time to and from the moon,” Interbartolo said.
That means the toilet system must be functional in both the microgravity of space, and on the moon, where the comparatively light, floaty lunar gravity (1.62m/s²) is about one-sixth the strength of Earth’s (9.8m/s²). The toilet must also be female anatomy-friendly, something that the first space bathroom solutions were decidedly not.
Going to the bathroom is space is not glamorous
NASA hasn’t changed much about how astronauts relieve themselves in space since the agency designed its very first toilets. The very first US space toilet was essentially a hole in the wall, designed for Skylab in the 1970s. Today on the International Space Station, astronauts use a funnel equipped with a fan that suctions their pee away, but they still have to bag up their poo, and it is one of the most bothersome aspects of living in space, they say. The Russians designed the newest space toilet in operation on the International Space System, a $19 million contraption which has been there since 2008, and SpaceX’s new and mysterious commode on the Crew Dragon likely employs a basic hose and bag system, much like what’s on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
But 2020 is already shaping up to be a banner year for US space toilets, with one new urine-recycling model for the ISS already in the works, and slated to arrive there before the end of this year.
The moon toilet, however, is going to be a bit trickier to develop. In addition to needing to work in both the near-weightless microgravity of space, and the moon’s gravity, it also needs to be a lot smaller and lighter than existing space toilets, so that NASA doesn’t have to waste a bunch of fuel rocketing it up and down to the lunar surface.
That’s where the “hackers,” “makers,” “basement tinkerers,” and “garage mad scientists” around the world come in, Interbartolo said.
“We want that different perspective over the next couple months of this challenge to really kind of open our eyes to the unknown unknowns that, since we’re so tightly focused on what a space toilet is, maybe there are different things that we’re not aware of out there,” he said.
It’s a lot like the 2017 Space Poop Challenge that NASA and HeroX teamed up on previously, in which Dr. Thatcher Cardon, a flight surgeon and US Air Force colonel, invented a way to go to the bathroom inside a space suit (without a diaper) and took home $15,000.

The new space toilet must be small, quiet, and easy to use
With a maximum weight of 15 kilograms on Earth (about 33 pounds), and a volume no bigger than 0.12 cubic meters (roughly 4.2 cubic feet) the new space toilet will boast a smaller footprint than the typical mini fridge. NASA said the toilet should be easy to clean and maintain, and have a “5-minute turnaround time or less between uses.” Competitive toilet designs will be easy for the astronauts to use, and conserve water, while containing smells.
“There’s potential that there will still be some sort of bag within the toilet system for the microgravity scenario, just because the body doesn’t let go of some of that stuff, you know, as easily,” Interbartolo said.
Here are the full requirements. According the NASA, the new toilet must be designed to:
Function in both microgravity and lunar gravity
Have a mass of less than 15 Kg in Earth’s gravity
Occupy a volume no greater than 0.12 cubic meters
Consume less than 70 Watts of power
Operate with a noise level less than 60 decibels (no louder than an average bathroom
Accommodate both female and male users
Accommodate users ranging from 58 to 77 inches tall and 107 to 290 lbs in weight
“Bonus points will be awarded to designs that can capture vomit without requiring the crew member to put his/her head in the toilet,” NASA’s new challenge guidelines state.
The deadline to submit toilet designs is August 17, 2020 at 5pm Eastern. There’s a $20,000 prize for first place, $10,000 for second, and $5,000 for third. Kids from 11 to 18 years old can also submit their ideas for the moon toilet, but they’re competing for public recognition and some NASA swag, not cash.
“The big thing is, it can’t break the laws of physics,” Interbartolo said.

Of course, I had to tweet (and now blog) the CBC story about the space shuttle launch being scrubbed. Umm, seriously, “rain and lightning near the launch site”? Are you kidding me? This is a vehicle that travels at ridiculous speeds through the atmosphere and into outer space, but not in the rain? The folks over at NASA are the experts at flying in outer space. How is it not possible for them to have built a vehicle that can also fly in the rain? At the same time, this is the 21st century, why am I not out there flying my own personal space ship in outer space, to visit my friends on the moon, or for a short vacation on Mars? What is happening to the dream of the 1940s? | aerospace |

Here is the Government auction for you!
If the F-14 Tomcat jet isn’t your thing maybe a ex-military C-141 Starlifter Cargo Plane? No? Perhaps a Titan rocket might take your fancy? If you’re interested here is the government auction for you.
The famous ‘Boneyard’ is having a clearance sale! If you’ve never heard of it before the Boneyard is the name given to a graveyard for aircraft that have been decommissioned or suspended from service.
For many years the US Defense Department has been parking old planes and various aircraft, and even aerospace equipment, at the Boneyard which is a part of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona.
The Boneyard is operated by the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG) which takes care of storing excess and decommissioned aircraft from all US departments and even re-commissioning some aircraft into alternate roles.
There are reportedly over 4,200 aircraft at the base many of which have been cannibalised for parts and some sold to other countries for their defense needs (Australia’s F-111 is one example) and within days around 2000 obsolete aircraft will go under the hammer in a major Pentagon clear-out.
Why such a big auction? Scrap metal prices are sky rocketing and the Pentagon seeks to cash in. In total there are over 12 million tones of scrap metal up for grabs which is expected to fetch between 9 and 10 million dollars.
Aircraft to end up in melting pot of metals include C-141 Starlifters cargo, A-4 Skyhawks, F 14 Tomcats, S-3 Vikings, prop-driven T-34 trainers, HH-3E helicopters and even parts of Titan rockets that launched missiles and spacecraft.
The auction begins April 21 and will probably be a sad day for many aircraft fans but if you’re a scrap metal dealer it’s probably right up your alley! For all details visit: http://cgi.govliquidation.com/… | aerospace |

The only affect is the dry mass goes up, which like I said isn't ideal, but as SpaceX has clearly shown there's really no issue with building a bigger rocket unlike what those Boing jews would tell you. Elon has already said that after Starship is operating the next step will probably be an 18 meter diameter (but still methalox) vehicle, Big Chungus. As >>10991602
put it a big low density fuel tank means you can actually get more surface area per unit mass, considering the payload mass does not increase in step with the tank volume if you switch to hydrolox.
Overall switching from methalox to hydrolox has the following effects; More expensive for a given total propellant mass, because the tanks need to be much bigger and bigger does cost more, though not prohibitively more. Larger vehicle per unit payload, so aerobraking gains an advantage. Difficult to store hydrolox in space for long periods, requires active cooling, that's added cost and complexity if you want that (all but impossible for a lightweight system to store hydrolox on the surface of Mars, deal-breaker for SpaceX). Specific impulse goes up, increase in performance (even though wet-dry mass ratio goes down, it's still an improvement, just not as much as a 1:1 Isp increase with the same density). Harder to make a high thrust engine, easier to make a high efficiency engine (thrust doesn't matter so much because total mass for equal performance is lower, but is still important).
To put it simply, in my opinion a reusable two stage launch vehicle could have been done a long time ago using hydrolox's Isp to make up for some of the drawbacks and shortfalls of technology of the time. This vehicle would be capable of placing large amounts of payload into low Earth orbit for cheap compared to any modern launch vehicle, but would not be capable of long term propellant storage. | aerospace |

Including Friday's practice, I had three chances to track the Thunderbirds through their routine.
While there may be some value in being on the flight line at the airport, I camped out on a hill a mile or so from the airport and waited for the planes to fly over. I missed out on the static displays and some of the other performers, but I avoided the crowds and the Thunderbirds flew right over my position several times during each show.
The other highlights of the show were the old warbirds. I didn't get great photos of the Corsair, P-51, and TBM Avenger, but I did post a couple images of the latter two. (I got much better warbirds shots at the 2016 Sioux Falls Air Show.) I had more success with the Heritage Flight, which this year featured Navy planes including the AD-4 Skyraider, FJ-4B Fury, and F/A-18G Hornet. The Skyraider and Fury were Vietnam-era ground attack planes, one being prop-driven and the other being a jet. The Fury is related to the Air Force's F-86 Sabre. The Hornet is a version of the same plane used by the Blue Angels. Another Hornet at the show was a CF-18 Canadian version, which did solo shows before the Thunderbirds. It was reported that this was the only appearance by the RCAF at a US air show this year. It seemed like five minutes after finishing its performance, it took off again and headed back to the Great White North.
By my count this is the 11th air show I've photographed since 2002, the third with the Thunderbirds. The last time I saw the Thunderbirds was back in 2005 at their home base in Nevada. That was a gigantic show. Click here to see the air show listing on my Galleries page.
I posted 63 images, including 47 of the Thunderbirds. The light was constantly changing during the three days, so at times it was challenging. The Thunderbirds images are roughly in chronological order, but with single planes first, then formations of four, five and six. Click on the images to start the slide show.
Update: I just added seven new images to the 2016 Sioux Falls Air Show gallery. The new stuff is three AV-8 Harrier images, and additional Blue Angels and B-25 images.

The Authority says the Malawi Space Agency will be tasked with the duty of exploring Malawi’s potential in utilising space resources for scientific and technological advancements.
Macra says Malawi is set to hold its first-ever space conference in Lilongwe at the Bingu International conference Centre (BICC) from 9th to the 11st of November, 2022.
“The conference is set to discuss the protection and utilisation of Malawi’s space resources for the Malawi 2063 vision,” reads the statement released on Tuesday signed by the Authority’s executive director, Daud Suleman.
The Statement further said the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) recognised the need for ll member States to have space resources to enable them to explore satellite ambitions.
“All ITU members states that Malawi is one of having a dedicated orbital slot for national space program, Orbital slots like spectrum are limited natural resources that must be protected and used rationally.
“Each country as two orbital slots in ITU planned space, one for Broadcasting Satellite Services (BSS) and the other for Fixed Satellite Services (FSS).
“Communication Satellites provide the following benefits: Long-distance Communication services to accommodate many devices and provide them with Internet access is likely. Satellite Communication covers a wider geographical area, overcoming terrain and topology challenges,” added Macra.
According to the Authority, Malawi is set to benefit from the program in capacities like Economic growth, Socio-economic growth, Geographical welfare and Policy and Regulatory compliance.
Africa collectively has a total of 44 satellites orbiting 13 countries, Malawi envisions a vibrant digital environment and space exploration is an enabler for future envisage.
Macra also says the program will provide Malawi with a voice in the exploration of global space initiatives and help the country protects it orbital slot, which it risks losing if not utilised. | aerospace |

known as “drones”.
Flying a drone is much like flying
an airplane or helicopter – mechanically and legally.
All the same aeronautical considerations for flight
and administrative rules and restrictions and laws about
operation are very real.
Flying a drone for any commercial purpose requires
licensure by the FAA as a remote pilot. The actual
regulation that covers commercial drone pilots is known as
14 CFR Part 107 which became effective on August 29, 2016.
To help ensure proper, safe, legal

In recent years, satellite technology has become increasingly sophisticated, and the race to develop new and innovative ways to use this technology is heating up. One area that is particularly interesting is the development of so-called “hunter satellites.”
These are satellites designed specifically to track and target other satellites, and they are a key part of the military’s preparations for a potential future conflict in space.
The US military has been working on hunter satellites for several years, and they are now starting to test them in realistic conditions. This is a very important development, as it means that the US is now taking the possibility of a space war seriously.
The testing of these satellites is a major step forward in the development of space warfare capabilities, and it is likely that other countries will soon follow suit. This is a trend that we will be watching closely in the coming years. | aerospace |

Weight limit 242 lbs.
Your first step is to take an introductory flight in a sailplane. That flight will introduce you to a world you have never known. And it is so exciting that you will want to explore it, to learn more about it and to become part of it. Accept that challenge and you are on your way to becoming a part of the world of the glider pilots.
As with any course of study, the more material you read on your own, the faster you'll learn and the more competent you'll be. This material such as the book "The Joy of Soaring" can be obtained from Nutmeg Soaring. You will be studying this material while you are taking your flight lessons, and after you have passed your FAA written examination and your flight instructor has given you his or her blessing, you will take your private pilot test. Passing that test will entitle you to take passengers for rides with you.
The closer together the lessons are, the easier it is to build on the knowledge gained from the previous lessons, and the faster you will learn. Most people try to fly at least once a week, and most prefer to take more than one flight during each lesson. The sailplane you will fly has dual controls, and your instructor will sit behind you with all the directional controls that you have and will show you the control motions or follow along with you as you are learning to glide the sailplane.
If you have not flown before, some of the maneuvers and coordination may seem difficult at first, just as riding a bicycle may have seemed nearly impossible when you were first learning. After a few flights, however, you will be making the sailplane do what you want it to do, and you will wonder why you felt so clumsy on your initial flights. Basically you learn to fly your sailplane straight-and-level, to turn it in varying degrees of bank, and to recognize and recover from stalls. You will practice flight courtesy and safety, and will glide down to enter the airport traffic pattern at a pre-determined altitude. You will fly your approach precisely, land your craft with its wings level, and stop it where you want to stop. You will learn emergency techniques so there will be no unexpected surprises for you when you become a licensed pilot.
You will learn that a sailplane is a docile and responsive machine that answers to gentle, coordinated pressures on its controls. As your touch develops, you will become less and less conscious of the control movements necessary to make it respond to your wishes.
How long it takes you to solo depends on a number of factors. They might include any previous pilot experience you have had, how open you are to your instructor's guidance, and how relaxed you are. Other factors would include the type of sailplane you are flying, the weather during your training, and the degree of experience and proficiency your particular training program requires before permitting you to solo. The requirement for an airport located on an uninterrupted plain in Kansas might well be different from the requirement for an airport cut out of a forest of Joshua trees.
You can solo if you are 14 years old or older. Most instructors feel that 30 to 35 flights of pre-solo flight time are the minimum needed for most people with no previous flight experience. An experienced private power pilot can generally solo a sailplane in 10 flights.
Cost of training from beginning through solo at a commercial gliderport will vary depending upon where it is and how rapidly you progress. Nutmeg Soaring is a non-profit club so after joining and paying an initiation and annual membership fee the cost of the aircraft and the instructor are free. Your only cost is the the nominal cost of the towplane. Naturally, all clubs exist with volunteer labor to reduce costs for all members. Each member will be expected to participate in the running of the club and its flight operations. After you have soloed, you will continue to fly with an instructor from time to time to see that you are maintaining good flying habits and developing your judgment and flying skills.
You will be eligible for a private glider rating if you (1) are 16 years old or older, (2) have had the FAA minimum solo time in a sailplane, and (3) have passed the FAA written examination. These regulations apply if you have had no previous FAA ratings. But if you already have a private or commercial power pilot rating with 40 hours of solo time, you can be licensed in gliders if you have a minimum of 10 solo flights during which 360 degree turns have been made, and have passed a flight test. No additional written FAA examination is required, although the oral test given by the flight examiner generally covers the same material which would be covered in the written examination.
A commercial rating allows the glider pilot to take passengers up for hire. Work toward a commercial glider license can begin after the private rating has been earned. Because of the increased responsibility, the requirements for a commercial glider pilot license are more stringent than for a private rating. An applicant for a commercial rating must be at least 18 years old.
A commercially rated power pilot may transition to a commercial glider rating by first having 20 solo glider flights during which 360 degree turns have been made, and then passing the FAA commercial glider flight test.
Learning to fly a sailplane safely is easy. The instructor can teach you the mechanics of flying the aircraft in just a few lessons. But don't be led too quickly into thinking that you have learned all there is to know. Learning to soar is a series of steps and plateaus. How high on that ladder you wish to climb is up to you. Some pilots are content, at least for a while to soar around an airport. Others find exhilaration and satisfaction in cross-country flight and ultimately in competing with other pilots. Learning while flying is fun; a fine balance of determination, flexibility and much practice is necessary to gain the proficiency and skills you will need to get the most out of your sailplane and your rating.
As noted previously, learning to fly a sailplane safely around the airport is easy. Learning to fly one skillfully is considerably more difficult. The sport requires alertness, self-control and self-discipline. It requires a combination of coordination, flexibility of thought, quick decision-making, and good judgment-all skills which can be achieved only through conscientious effort. The requirements for continually taking off and landing safely at the same airport are obviously not the same as those placed on a pilot who ventures into the unknown on a cross-country flight. Fortunately, most human beings have the inherent capability of becoming fine glider pilots. The more you learn, the more fun and personal satisfaction you will have. The rapid growth of the glider movement is testimony to the rewards and satisfaction other glider pilots have found in their chosen sport. | aerospace |

In this post, we will outline tips on keeping your drone safe while flying.
Learn the Rules
There are a lot of regulations that is need to be followed when operating a self-driving drone. These rules vary depending on the country you are operating in, so it is important to habituate yourself with the regulations in your area.
For example, in the United States, you must have a drone registration and license if you plan on flying your unmanned aerial vehicle for commercial purposes. Additionally, you must follow all local laws when flying your drone and any FAA regulations that may apply.
Always Fly in Safe Areas
In order to fly a self-driving drone in a safe manner, it is important to always stay within the bounds of your drone’s operating range. This range will vary depending on the model and size of your drone but is generally around 100 feet.
If you’re not within the operational range of your drone, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings and avoid flying near people or sensitive areas. Additionally, never use your drone for unauthorized purposes and always follow all local laws when flying.
No Flying During Storms
Flying drones during severe weather can be dangerous and potentially unsafe. Drones can be damaged by high winds or flying debris, and they could become lost or stranded in difficult-to-reach areas. Flying drones during storms also increases the risk of crashing into buildings or other obstacles.
In some cases, drones could even be used to cause damage or destruction. Therefore, following all safety guidelines when flying a drone is important, especially during severe weather conditions.
Use a Wearable Device
There is no doubt that adequate devices will play a role in the future of autonomous drone operation. Wearable devices can provide real-time feedback on drone performance, which can help operators improve their flying skills. Additionally, wearable devices can communicate with autonomous drones to provide information about their environment.
Keep Your Drone in Condition
Most drones will last around 3-6 months before they need to be recharged or replaced. However, it is important to keep your drone in condition so that it can fly for as long as possible.
Here are some tips to keep your drone in good condition:
1) Always make sure your drone is fully charged before flying.
2) Don’t fly your drone in harsh weather conditions, such as high winds or snow. These conditions can damage the drone’s propellers and other components.
3) Avoid flying near airports, large crowds, and other sensitive areas. These areas can be dangerous for a drone if it falls out of the sky.
Always make sure you know the rules and fly in safe areas, as well as avoid storms and use a wearable device.
Keep your drone in good condition, and you will have a safe and enjoyable experience. Following these tips will help you keep your drone safe while flying. | aerospace |

SpaceX is likely to continue to be one of the most important companies in the world as it pushes the boundaries of space flight, human exploration, and reusable rockets. If you’re interested in investing in this growth by buying SpaceX stock, you’re not alone. This article will explore how to do this and more.
SpaceX is a unique company that’s confronting a very difficult challenge. In order to make an order of magnitude or better improvement in delivering goods and humans to space, SpaceX needs to bring the costs of launches down to 1/10th of what they were prior to SpaceX. That’s a tall order, but if anyone is up to the task Elon Musk seems to be the person. He’s an inexhaustible source of media attention and personality for the company, which has served to elevate it significantly with the public. Elon is a marketing genius, and his capabilities are on full display with the televised launches, public talk of putting humans on Mars, and phenomenal progress toward their goals that SpaceX has made.
One of the most interesting things about SpaceX’s decision to publicize launches and testing is that their failures are as widely discussed as their successes (sometimes more so). This has served to humanize the company though, and has endeared it to the public even more. SpaceX has a long term goal of putting the first humans on Mars, and they’re undoubtably in the lead to accomplish that feat. If successful, this will make SpaceX the defacto transport to the first human settlement on another planet. This will catapult its success to record heights.
So, how can you invest in SpaceX and own a piece of the company making history? That’s a more challenging task than simply purchasing some SpaceX stock. Is it possible to buy SpaceX stock? This article will explore that question and more.
The basics: What is SpaceX and why should you care?
If there’s one company that’s likely to make history by putting the first humans on another planet, it’s SpaceX. The company was founded by Elon Musk in 2002 and has since made a number of impressive achievements (see the SpaceX facts below). These milestones are all in the furtherance of one goal – putting humans on Mars. This is Elon Musks top goal, and if there’s one thing that he’s made clear, he tends to hit his goals.
What is Elon Musks SpaceX strategy?
Mr. Musk has been clear that his #1 goal in life is to put humans on Mars and make humanity a multi-planetary species. This is audacious, and critically important to long term human survival. Unfortunately, we’re one good pandemic or nuclear war away from annihilation, and Elon’s mission is to ensure that the destruction of Earth doesn’t equate to the destruction of humanity. If you assume that humans are worth saving, and most of us do, this is the only logical course of action.
Elon’s strategy for SpaceX is transparent – SpaceX is the launch and transportation entity for off-plane travel. It’s the vector for humans to get from Earth to Mars. When you begin to explore his other companies, a broader strategy emerges though. Vehicles will be required for the surface of Mars, and Elon’s other big company, Tesla, is revolutionizing electric cars. Further, the Cybertruck looks suspiciously like it could be adapted for cruising the surface of Mars. Tesla has made huge investments in battery technology and production, which will be critical to powering off-world living. Tesla also purchase Solar City, and with that acquisition got the Tesla Solar Roof. This technology will be critical to pulling electricity from the sun for a Martian city. Starlink, which is SpaceX’s new low-earth orbit satellite internet company, will be the way that Mars gets access to the internet without running fiber optic cables all over the planet. It seems that all of Elon’s investments are focused exclusively on the end goal of putting a human settlement on Mars.
What’s made SpaceX so successful?
There are many factors in SpaceX’s success, but the biggest is certainly the willingness to challenge any assumption. That is, the engineers often rethink their objectives using a “first principals” approach. That is, they consider the fundamental objective in light of the facts and nothing more. This has led to the development of rocket engines that land themselves and are reusable. It’s led to the development of modular thrust systems that bring the overall cost of production down. This strategy will continue to lead to unique and creative solutions that seem obvious in hindsight, but may not be if you only consider what’s been done historically. This sort of thinking should be adopted by every other organization.
Another thing that has made SpaceX successful is that it’s found a way to make itself impossible to ignore. When SpaceX was founded, none of the old guard in the space community took it seriously. That was a mistake that most will never recover from. SpaceX has found its way into NASA contracts by being the lowest cost bidder, delivering billions in revenue that legacy companies can’t possibly compete with. It’s also become a media darling thanks to Elon Musks masterful use of social media, video, and earned media to get his mission to the masses.
Lastly, SpaceX is successful because of it’s people. The company’s president, Gwynne Shotwell, has been an excellent leader for the day to day operations of the company – providing a steady hand that compliment’s Elon’s somewhat erratic behavior. SpaceX recruits people that believe deeply in the mission to put humans on Mars, and has been able to capitalize on that passion to produce great products.
How does SpaceX make money?
SpaceX currently makes money through contracted delivery of goods and humans to space. NASA has huge contracts with SpaceX to supply the International Space Station, and to deliver satellites to orbit. Private companies regularly contract with SpaceX to deliver their satellites to orbit as well. Since the company can launch faster, more reliably, and cheaper than their competitors, SpaceX has quickly grown to one of the largest space vehicle companies.
Is SpaceX profitable?
SpaceX doesn’t release audited financial statements, so it’s difficult to know exactly how profitable the company is. What is clear is that they generate billions in annual revenue, which has allowed for plenty of money to reinvest in their many research projects, like the SpaceX Starship. On a dollar/kilogram launched metric, SpaceX is the most profitable company in the space launch industry. The new Starlink internet product is likely to make SpaceX a massive sum of money, as it has the ability to deliver ultra-fast broadband to the most remote locations on earth. All of this adds up to SpaceX being extremely profitable on a gross basis, though with the research and development the company does, it’s hard to know if it’s producing any net profit yet.
Top 10 SpaceX facts you should know:
- Elon Musk founded SpaceX with the proceeds of the acquisition of PayPal where he was in the company’s leadership. After PayPal was acquired, he simultaneously made a huge investment in Tesla and has been running both companies ever since.
- Since its inception, SpaceX’s explicit goal has been to send the first humans to Mars, and establish a colony there.
- SpaceX was the first company to land a used rocket booster using propulsion.
- SpaceX was the first company to successfully reuse an orbital rocket.
- SpaceX famously launched a Tesla roadster into orbit with the Sun. You can view the last live video before the signal was lost by clicking here, and view the current position of the Roadster in orbit by clicking here.
- SpaceX was the first private company to launch a liquid propellant fueled rocket to orbit.
- SpaceX was the first private company to dock at the International Space Station.
- SpaceX has been testing it’s Starship, which will be used to ferry goods and people to Mars.
- SpaceX mission control is in their headquarters location in Hawthorne, California.
- Starlink Internet is now available in every corner of planet Earth. It has reached speeds of up to 500 Mbps download with sub 20 millisecond pings – dramatically faster than most wired consumer internet.
How to Invest in SpaceX:
How can I invest in SpaceX stock?
SpaceX is a privately held US-based company. As such, it’s not listed on any public stock exchange and members of the public are not generally able to invest. However, it may be possible for accredited investors to make investments in SpaceX, if they can find someone willing to sell it. SpaceX recently raised $1.9 billion, and with its massive revenue growth, it’s unlikely that new rounds of funding will be needed for the foreseeable future.
SpaceX is funded by private angel and venture capital groups. Limited partners in those funds could have an opportunity to participate in SpaceX venture rounds, but they are extremely competitive and difficult to get a piece of.
When will SpaceX IPO?
SpaceX has not announced any plans to IPO, and Elon Musk has said that he doesn’t intend to take the company public any time soon. This is because it would subject SpaceX to the requirements of being a public company which are not conducive to the long term goal of putting humans on Mars. When companies are publicly traded, their fates can often be at the whims of the stock market, and stock market investors are often focused on short term gains, rather than long term goals. That’s particularly true when the long term goals are not explicitly profit motivated, like Elon’s goal of putting humans on Mars.
Of note however, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell, has said that they are considering spinning out the Starlink division of SpaceX and doing an IPO on it alone. That would be a highly anticipated offering, and would generate massive returns for SpaceX, and their investors. If Starlink IPOs, this page will be updated to reflect that.
What is SpaceX’s valuation?
Since SpaceX is a public company, it’s impossible to know exactly what it’s valuation is. Recent funding rounds peg SpaceX’s valuation at around $48 billion, though some investors believe SpaceX’s valuation could be as high as $200 billion as of 2021.
Are there any other ways to invest in SpaceX stock?
For those who are accredited investors, there may be other opportunities to purchase SpaceX stock. An accredited investor is defined as an individual with $1 million or greater, exclusive of their primary residence, or an income of $200,000 per year for three of the last 5 years or greater. With Accredited Investor status, you can invest in private businesses like SpaceX, make angel investments, participate in hedge funds, and other risky investments.
To invest in SpaceX, accredited investors can keep an eye on secondary market platforms like EquityZen, and ForgeGlobal. Sometimes employees and other investors will post their shares for sale on these platforms, though SpaceX shares are likely to be extremely popular.Conclusion: SpaceX may be one of the most important companies for the future of the human race. It’s very difficult for average investors to buy SpaceX shares though, as the company is privately held.
Further, SpaceX is not planning to IPO anytime soon, though their Starlink Internet product may be spun out into its own IPO. Those who are accredited investors may also be able to purchase SpaceX shares on secondary market platforms. Be sure to keep an eye on those if you meet that qualification as they’re likely to be extremely popula | aerospace |

Lester's "Aviation Weather" was the textbook for my last college aviation weather class. It's very good for the academic knowledge.
Edit: For the most VALUE in learning about weather, though, after you crunch your way through a book like Lester, then look for Scott D's online learning courses.
Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its motion, and estimate its type (rain, snow, hail etc.). Modern weather radars are mostly pulse-Doppler radars, capable of detecting the motion of rain droplets in addition to the intensity of the precipitation.
Aviation specific charts and maps representing current and forecast conditions. Both local and national charts are available. Tabbed interface allows users to select their favorite charts and keep them open in individual tabs.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and. We are excited to announce the launch of a brand new Weather Radar Operations eLearning course.
This eLearning course goes beyond weather radar Pilot’s Guides to help you improve your technique and maximize the benefits of the weather radar capabilities. It is a course to help you operate and interpret the displays across all phases of flight.
The AMS Weather Book is the most comprehensive, up-to-date guide to the weather and covers everything from daily weather patterns to air pollution and global warming and explores the stories of people coping with severe weather and those who devote their lives to understanding the atmosphere, oceans, and climate.
Airborne weather radar can’t penetrate areas of heaviest precipitation, so the pilot doesn’t receive a complete view of the weather ahead. Similarily, ground-based Nexrad weather radar has its own limitations. Like airborne weather radar, it can’t identify cloud tops, or cloud types.

The incident took place near the AP Filling Station and a commercial bank, occurring around 1:41 pm local time. The ill-fated J4 30 aircraft was equipped with a piston engine and carried a pilot and three passengers on board, reportedly foreigners who were conducting a test run of the aircraft.
The crash caused panic among motorists and commuters, leading to heavy traffic congestion in the area and surrounding roads. However, brave members of the community quickly responded to the emergency and managed to rescue the occupants before official rescue teams arrived.
An eyewitness, Stanley Mohawa, shared his account of the incident, explaining how they retrieved the occupants from the burning wreckage while trying to prevent the fire from escalating and threatening nearby facilities such as the filling station and gas plant.
Another anonymous eyewitness from the Anifowose community revealed that two of the aircraft’s occupants were rescued and taken to the hospital. However, due to the aircraft’s composition, which was mainly made of fiber and not iron, most of the documents on board were destroyed, leaving only the engine intact.
According to information from the control tower at Lagos airport, the aircraft belonged to Air First Hospital and Tour. They crashed from a height of 1500 feet shortly after departing from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA. The source mentioned that the South African-made Javir plane was attempting an emergency landing but hit a light pole during the maneuver.
The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) stated that it had limited information on the cause of the accident and directed inquiries to the Nigerian Safety Investigation Bureau (NSIB), which has launched an investigation.
Commending the promptness of the rescue team, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos Command, CP Idowu Owohunwa, assured that the scene would be secured for further examination by the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB).
The Southwest Coordinator of the Nigeria Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, also praised the timely response of the local community in assisting with the rescue operation.
Meanwhile, Air Peace, a Nigerian airline, has denied any connection to the crashed aircraft, clarifying that they do not operate helicopters and that none of their aircraft was involved in the incident.
Governor Bababjide Sanwo-Olu visited the scene to express his sympathy to the victims and encouraged residents to cooperate with emergency responders.
The NSIB has initiated an inquest into the accident and called on the public to provide any relevant evidence that might aid the comprehensive investigation.
As the situation unfolds, authorities and investigators continue their efforts to determine the cause of the crash and gather more information about the incident. | aerospace |
https://www.clouddizi.com/10-cons-of-autonomous-drones-to-consider/ | 2024-04-22T09:56:56 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818105.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422082202-20240422112202-00683.warc.gz | 0.945442 | 694 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__85978001 | en | Autonomous drones are a rapidly developing technology with the potential to revolutionize many industries. However, there are also a number of potential downsides to autonomous drones that need to be considered. Here are 10 of the most significant cons of autonomous drones:
- Safety concerns. Autonomous drones are still in their early stages of development, and there are a number of safety concerns that need to be addressed before they can be widely deployed. For example, autonomous drones could easily collide with other aircraft or objects, or they could malfunction and crash. There is also the potential for autonomous drones to be hacked or used for malicious purposes.
- Privacy concerns. Autonomous drones can be equipped with cameras and other sensors that can collect a vast amount of data about people and their surroundings. This data could be used to track people’s movements, monitor their activities, or even spy on them. There are also concerns that autonomous drones could be used to spread propaganda or disinformation.
- Environmental impact. The manufacturing and operation of autonomous drones can have a significant environmental impact. For example, the production of drones requires the use of plastics and other materials that can pollute the environment. The operation of drones also consumes energy, which can contribute to climate change.
- Economic impact. The widespread adoption of autonomous drones could have a significant impact on the economy. For example, autonomous drones could replace jobs in the transportation, delivery, and security industries. This could lead to job losses and economic hardship for some people.
- Technological limitations. Autonomous drones are still limited by a number of technological factors. For example, they have a limited range and battery life, and they can be easily affected by weather conditions. These limitations could prevent autonomous drones from being used in some applications.
- Regulatory challenges. There are a number of regulatory challenges that need to be addressed before autonomous drones can be widely deployed. For example, there is no clear international framework for regulating autonomous drones. This could lead to confusion and conflict between different countries.
- Public acceptance. The public may not be willing to accept autonomous drones, especially if there are safety concerns or privacy concerns. This could limit the market for autonomous drones and prevent them from being widely adopted.
- Military use. Autonomous drones could be used for military purposes, which could raise ethical concerns. For example, autonomous drones could be used to carry out targeted killings or to launch cyberattacks.
- Loss of control. Autonomous drones could operate without human intervention, which could lead to a loss of control. This could have serious consequences if a drone malfunctions or is hacked.
- Unintended consequences. The development and deployment of autonomous drones could have unintended consequences that are not yet fully understood. For example, autonomous drones could disrupt the natural environment or could lead to new forms of crime.
These are just some of the potential cons of autonomous drones. It is important to consider these factors carefully before autonomous drones are widely deployed. By addressing these concerns, we can help to ensure that autonomous drones are used safely and responsibly.
In addition to the cons listed above, there are also a number of other potential downsides to autonomous drones that are still being debated. For example, some people worry that autonomous drones could lead to increased surveillance and a loss of privacy. Others worry that autonomous drones could be used to spread misinformation or propaganda. It is important to continue to have these discussions as autonomous drone technology continues to develop. | aerospace |

Posted on: 08:54 PM IST Apr 27, 2013
Addis Ababa: Ethiopian Airlines on Saturday became the world's first carrier to resume flights with Boeing Co's 787 Dreamliner passenger jets, a Reuters witness said, three months after they were grounded over battery meltdowns.
An Ethiopian Dreamliner passenger jet left Addis Ababa for a scheduled flight to Nairobi just before 11 am and was due to arrive in Kenya about two hours later.
US regulators approved a new lithium-ion battery design last week, clearing the way for installation and a resumption of Dreamliner flights by international carriers. Dreamliners had been grounded on January 16 after two battery meltdowns that occurred on two jets within two weeks that month. | aerospace |

The introduction of drones was motivated by one primary concern: safety. In the past, TER responders could be exposed to potentially dangerous environments when assessing emergencies. Today, drones can be deployed to gather images, videos, and thermal camera readings, taking responders out of harm's way. To date, there has not been a response that requires drones, but the technology will be there if needed in the future.
"Safety is our main reason for utilizing drones for emergency response," says Matt Paynter, Emergency Response and Preparedness Manager. “The drones are in use by each of the five TER teams in Canada, significantly enhancing their response capabilities. This deployment equips each team with critical data for faster incident size-up without risking responders' safety.”
Blackhawk Aeronautical, an Edmonton-based flight school, partnered with the TER team to provide training for drone operators. The training encompassed two-and-a-half days of virtual instruction and a half-day of hands-on flight training, certifying the pilots for operation in Canada.
“Currently, 15 out of the 50 TER team members are certified drone pilots. Additional training will be provided to more members in 2024 to ensure there is ample coverage for each team,” says Matt. “The drones are a valuable addition to the TER's evolving response toolkit. This is how we continue to improve our emergency response program, always looking for ways to do it better and safer." | aerospace |

The Investigation found that the power turbine shaft had fractured in two places and all first and second stage power turbine blades had separated from their disks. The shaft failure was found to have been caused by fatigue cracking initiated by corrosion pitting which was assessed as probably the result of prolonged marine low-altitude operations by the aircraft. It was found that this fatigue cracking could increase undetected during service between scheduled inspections.
On 19 August 2013, a fire occurred in the right engine of a Douglas DC3-C on take off from Yellowknife. After engine shutdown, a right hand circuit was made in an attempt to land back on another runway but trees were struck and the aircraft crash-landed south of it. Emergency evacuation was successful. The Investigation found that a pre-existing cylinder fatigue crack had caused the engine failure/fire and that the propeller feathering pump had malfunctioned. It was found that an overweight take off had occurred and that various unsafe practices had persisted despite the regulatory approval of the Operator's SMS. 350c69d7ab

Air traffic controllers in both Vietnam and Malaysia lost radio contact and radar tracking of the aircraft at 2:40 a.m. local time, just over two hours after the plane had taken off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) at 12:35 a.m. on a scheduled 6-hour non-stop night flight to Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), a distance of 2,300 air miles or 3,700 kilometers.
There were conflicting reports of emergency locator signals coming from a potential crash area. These initial reports have been denied. No distress message from the flight crew was sent before the plane vanished.
The wide body twin-engine jet was carrying 227 passengers, including 2 infants, and 12 crew members. Two of the passengers were Canadian citizens and 3 were from the United States. In total, they represented 14 nations, including 7 from Australia, 2 from New Zealand, 152 from China, 38 Malaysians, and 12 from Indonesia.
Malaysia Airlines Group CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya issued the following statement, saying in part, “We deeply regret that we have lost all contacts with flight MH370. Malaysia Airlines is currently working with the authorities who have activated their Search and Rescue team to locate the aircraft. Our team is currently calling the next-of-kin of passengers and crew. Focus of the airline is to work with the emergency responders and authorities and mobilize its full support. Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected passengers and crew and their family members.”
The captain of the plane was 53-years-old and had 18,365 flying hours and more than 33-years of experience with Malaysia Airlines.
The same plane, 9M-MRO, then operating as flight MH389, was involved in a runway accident on Aug. 9, 2012, when it damaged the tail of a China Eastern Airlines plane at Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG) while taxiing. In that incident, the tip of the wing of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 broke off. Both aircraft were grounded as a result of that incident.
The Boeing 777 was first introduced on June 7, 1995 with United Airlines as the launch carrier. A total of 1,544 of all variants of the aircraft have been produced to date, including 721 of the 777-300ER, the most common model, compared to 422 of the 777-200ER and 88 for the 777-200.
Depending on seating configuration, the aircraft can carry between 282 and 440 passengers. It has a cruising speed of 560 miles an hour, a maximum speed of 590 mph, and costs approximately $260 million per aircraft. The model has been involved in 8 aviation incidents and accidents, including 4 hull losses. The first happened on Jan. 17, 2008, when British Airways Flight 38, a 777-200ER with Rolls-Royce Trent 895 engines flying from Beijing to London, crash-landed approximately 1,000 feet short of Heathrow Airport’s runway 27L and slid onto the runway’s threshold, resulting in 47 injuries but no fatalities.
Prior to this most recent Malaysia Airlines incident, on July 6, 2013, Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a 777-200ER registered as HL7742, crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) after touching down short of the runway. Passengers and crew evacuated before fire destroyed the aircraft. The crash resulted in the death of two of the 307 people on board. A third person died after being struck by an airport fire truck responding to the crash.
Malaysia Airlines was established on May 1, 1947, 66 years ago. Assuming the worst case scenario for Flight MH370, there are now three accidents involving passenger fatalities on Malaysia Airlines, with a total of 373 fatalities. Prior to this latest incident, on Dec. 4, 1977 Malaysia Airlines Flight 653, a Boeing 737-200 (9M-MBD) was hijacked and crashed in Tanjung Kupang, Johor, Malaysia killing all 100 people aboard. On Sep. 15, 1995 Malaysia Airlines Flight 2133, a Fokker 50 (9M-MGH) crashed during approach in Tawau Airport (TWU), Sabah, on the island of Borneo, due to pilot error. A total of 34 people were killed.
The carrier, based in Kuala Lumpur, has 105 aircraft in service including 15 Boeing 777-200ER, each configured to carry 282 passengers, 35 in business class and 247 in coach. It recently joined the Oneworld airline alliance, whose members include Air Berlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN Airlines,Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Jordanian, and S7 Airlines, plus some 30 affiliated airlines. It is well regarded in the aviation industry for safety and in-flight service.
We extend our sincere condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of all those who may have perished in this tragic accident.

The Regional Centre for Aviation Medicine was borne of the need for civil aviation authorities of EAC Partner States to access an aviation medicine facility that complies with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Medical Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs). The core function of the Centre is aeromedical safety oversight.
The Partner States acknowledged the need for the Centre after taking part in ICAO’s Universal Safety Oversight Audit Programme (USOAP) where a number of shortcomings in the implementation of ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) were noted and a recommendation was consequently made for the formation of the Regional Aviation Medicine Centre of Excellence code-named the CENTRE for AVIATION MEDICINE (CAM).
The Board of CASSOA at its 23rd Meeting held 5th-6th August 2013 in Zanzibar approved the resumption of the operations of the CAM whose interim location is the CASSOA headquarters in Entebbe, Uganda.
Functions of the CAM
- Evaluate and ensure conformity or compliance with ICAO Standard and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and the EAC Regulatory Provision of the Partner States in the field of aviation medicine.
- Carry a Skills audit and develop a databank of Designated Medical Examiners in the region and aviation medicine by arranging basic, advanced and refresher training programmes.
- Establish a process for continous review and update of the medical aspects of CAA (Personnel Licensing) Regulations to keep abreast with ICAO SARPs changes.
- Develop an appeal system for dissatisfied license holders. | aerospace |

Airline plans to launch new services to Manila, Jakarta and Goa. Oommen John P reports.
Oman Air will launch new services from Muscat to Manila, in the Philippines, and Jakarta, in Indonesia, from December 2014. The Airline also intends to start a new service between Muscat and the Indian state of Goa in 2015.
The announcement was made recently at a press conference addressed by Paul Gregorowitsch, Oman Air’s chief executive officer and Abdulrahaman al Busaidy, its chief operating officer.
“We have embarked on a massive expansion programme to enhance fleet strength to 55 aircraft by 2017,” said Gregorowitsch. The airline is investing in new aircraft, destinations, new products, new technology, call centres and also people. In the next one year, 16 new aircraft will join the airline’s fleet. The fleet expansion is part of a larger plan to strengthen Oman Air as two international airports – Muscat and Salalah – are scheduled to be completed soon and three other regional airports are getting ready for operations. The new aircraft, which will be deployed will be a mix of both narrow body and wide-body planes.
Gregorowitsch said the six Boeing 787 Dreamliners will join the fleet by the end of next year. The airline is also looking at 787 900s, which will enable it to have large business class, he said.
“Oman Air will start operations to Goa in 2015. We plan to operate three weekly flights to Goa, which will go up to five over a period of time using a 154-seater Boeing 737 aircraft. We also plan to increase frequency to Europe, the Indian subcontinent, and Southeast Asia beginning in January,” said Abdulrahaman al Busaidy. “Oman Air also has plans to double its services between Muscat and various destinations in the Indian sub-continent, instead of a daily flight now,” he said.
“Oman Air is keen on getting more traffic rights to India to enable it to fly to every destination in India twice a day,” he said. Al Busaidy also said that discussions between Oman and Sri Lanka are scheduled for November to double its flights from the existing one daily flight on the Muscat-Colombo sector.
New operating model
Gregorowitsch said Oman Air is working on a new operating model, which will be introduced by January 2015. Under this model, there will be more flights to European destinations, in addition to the increase in connectivity and efficiency. For instance, passengers will find connecting flights to various destinations. There are also plans to raise transit passengers coming to Muscat airport from 60 per cent to 70 per cent of total passenger traffic by 2017, after the new airport is ready, he said.
Oman Air, he said has no plans to set up a budget carrier. The Sultanate’s small size of airline market and stringent labour laws are not favourable for starting a budget carrier. Additionally, the labour laws, which do not allow to get cheap labour on cash and carry basis, low level of air ticket reservation on Internet and bilateral agreements with countries on flying rights are not favourable for operating a viable budget carrier, he said. Oman Air is providing connectivity within the country and the region. The Airline has directly and indirectly contributed RO400mn to the Sultanate’s economy in 2013 and generated income for hotels, the travel trade and created jobs.
Gregorowitsch said Oman Air, which is currently operating at an annual loss of RO100mn, must become profitable within three years. A key challenge is to reduce losses. “The airline which is working to reduce costs will become more efficient as it moves towards profitability. If we are unable to earn profits by 2017, we’ve failed,” he said. A major part of the loss can be attributed to heavy investments in new aircraft. | aerospace |

My boss had suggested it to me around the time when water was found on Mars . I started reading it back in the December, 2015. I was on Chapter 14 when my Kindle stopped working. It died. The lower half of the screen went blank. I did not want to buy the book. So I did not continue. Then, a few days ago, a miracle happened.
On last Friday, another boss of mine—not the one who suggested me to read Weir's book—gifted me a brand new Kindle with a rock solid case. The first book I transferred to the device after returning to my room after work was The Martian. I did it not because I had fallen in love with the story when I was reading the book the first time, but more out of a duty to leave no books unfinished this year. I should say that I barely finished it.
When I was a child, I used to dream of going to Mars alone. I am sure many children today harbour the same dream. Weir’s book is probably written for them. It is the story of a six astronauts—five from the U.S. and one from Germany—who go to Mars for research but have to abandon their Martian station because of an unusually fierce storm. On their way back to the ship, they lose a crew member, Mark Watney. They think Watney is killed and will not learn about his being alive until they are half-way between Mars and the earth.
Watney wakes up with some injured ribs or bones and starts thinking of some way to get back to the earth. But first, he has to tell the people on earth that he is alive. Something reminds him of an old Mars research rover a few tens of kilometres from where he is stranded. He jumps into the Mars cars his teammates had left behind, heads to Pathfinder (the research rover), salvages a radio and sends a signal to earth. The signal is received successfully because the researchers at NASA already know that he is alive.
After captain Lewis has left the Martian station, NASA takes some satellite images of the place. And in one of them, an observer finds signs of life. She tells others. So the decision makers at NASA came toknow that Watney is alive. They see him preparing for a trip to pathfinder and figure out that he will contact them soon. NASA scrambles a team of people to ready the receiving equipment
Once a communication link is set up, NASA starts working on a rescue plan. Their plan is simple: Send a rocket full of supplies to Mars and so that Watney can survive until the next team of astronauts lands on the planet. At the same time, it is decided not to tell Lewis—the camp of Watney's team who took the decision to left him behind—and his crew about Watney. So the remaining group of five researchers on their way back to earth keep on believing W is dead.
The rocket launch fails. NASA contacts the China Space Research Administration. CSNA offers help by launching their own rocket to Mars. But someone at NASA comes up with another plan.
The plan is to tell the surviving crew that Watney is alive, send the CSNA rocket to the alive crew and ask the crew if they can accept the supplies, take a U-turn and bring Watney back to earth. The crew members agree. But the problems do not end here.
The remaining astronauts cannot land on Mars (their ship is not designed for landing on planets). The only way to rescue Watney is to meet him in the Martian orbit, which means that Watney will have to launch himself in space. Thankfully, there is a spare rocket on Mars. Too many coincidences. Anyway. Although the managers at NASA consider the plan risky, they somehow agree to it.
Then, the CSNA rocket supplies the remaining astronauts with a good amount of food and other supplies. Watney sits into his Martian car and reaches the rocket, which launches off and meets the remaining astronauts’ ship near Mars. The story ends. It was a happy ending.
The story is good. But the writing is not. Andy Weir seems to have a penchant for cuss words. He sprinkles them liberally everywhere in the book. Then he explains some usual things in detail, but glosses over others. Unless you are profoundly interested in manned space research, you may find it hard to figure out some things. For instance, I still only have a vague idea of how airlocks work. So many sections where they play a vital role were not clear to me. It was also unclear to me how can the drill be short circuited. And there were several other things that I did not understand.
I confess I am not a geek. My knowledge is limited to what comes from dabbling into languages, learning how to program in C++ and reading literature on weekends. When I read the Weir's novel, I realized how much I do not know about science. It was a reality-check. And it is probably time I should spend sometime on maths, physics and biology. Also come computer science. I digress.
If I were to review Weir’s book, I would say it is poorly written hard SF with a lot of adventure-boy-crazy-fantasies thrown in. I think Weir’s book is like 50 Shades of Hard SF. I trudged through the book. So I am glad that it is finished. I will never read it again. Hard SF by Robert L Forward, Liu Cixin, Arthur C Clarke and Ted Chiang is well-written and more fun to read. I think I will stick to them for some more time. | aerospace |

He has so much experience that he has even been involved in two crashes! (But none that he himself had ever caused.)
Iíve never ridden a helicopter before. Is it a safe way to travel?
A helicopter can be a very dangerous form of travel in the hands of an inexperienced pilot. Good thing our hotel has Willy! His expertise in flying our helicopter will outreach your expectations. He had even demonstrated, on one hair-raising occasion, how to land the chopper safely after switching off the engine mid-air!

Launching Rockets and the Deafening Roar
Rockets, the marvels of modern space exploration, come with a thunderous caveat. The intense soundwaves they generate can wreak havoc on structures and pose a significant threat to the human ear. So, what ingenious steps does NASA take to safeguard their rockets from the auditory onslaught during launch?
The Decibel Dilemma
Before delving into NASA's protective measures, it's crucial to understand the unit of sound measurement: decibels. Sounds surpassing 140 dB have the potential to inflict irreversible damage to our delicate ear tissues. The roaring symphony of rocket launches often exceeds this threshold, demanding ingenious solutions.
Building Beyond Blast Zones
NASA takes a proactive approach by constructing launch facilities at a considerable distance from critical structures. This strategic placement serves as an initial buffer, reducing the impact of the sonic shockwaves on nearby buildings. It's akin to staging a rock concert far from delicate glassware!
Modeling Sound: A Rocket Symphony Preview
Before the grand performance, NASA engages in a meticulous rehearsal. Scale models of rockets undergo rigorous testing to determine the precise amount of sound they'll unleash upon liftoff. This not only aids in understanding the potential risks but also allows for fine-tuning sound-suppression strategies.
Water, the Sonic Sponger
Picture this: a rocket poised for liftoff, and below it, a pool of water awaits. This isn't a quirky artistic installation but a key component of NASA's sound suppression system. As the rocket ascends, water is swiftly dumped into the pool, absorbing the acoustic energy generated during launch. It's a watery barrier that transforms deafening roars into mere ripples.
Striking a Balance
NASA's quest for silence doesn't end with water ballets. The space agency strikes a delicate balance, ensuring that the sound suppression system effectively dampens noise without compromising the rocket's performance. It's a harmonious blend of science and engineering.
Conclusion: Silencing the Cosmic Thunder
In the grand symphony of space exploration, NASA orchestrates not only the marvel of liftoff but also the art of managing sound. From strategic construction to aquatic sound absorption, the measures taken are a testament to the agency's commitment to minimizing the impact of rocket roars. As we continue to push the boundaries of space, NASA's innovative solutions echo—quietly and safely. | aerospace |

Bravery and commitment have been shown by the organisation throughout the years and today’s RAF includes a range of roles including search and rescue, troop transport and international peace and security.
Having appointed IMG as its global licensing agent, the RAF is hoping to grow its licensing programme. Simon Gresswell, VP of licensing at IMG, explains: “The RAF is aiming to extend its brand into relevant product categories using a combination of modern, vintage and lifestyle design themes, inspired by such consumer propositions as the power of the modern RAF, the nostalgia of the Battle of Britain and the prestige of the Red Arrows.”
The RAF has now consolidated its IP portfolio and taken the Red Arrows brand ‘under its wing.’ For this reason, the organisation believes BLE is a good opportunity to increase its brands’ visibility amongst a variety of licensees and retailers. Current licensees include Haynes for publishing and Character Options for toys with new opportunities in kids categories such as r/c, puzzles and games, as well as building on the current success of the HM Armed Forces toy range. Other target categories include eyewear, luggage and fashion accessories.
Gresswell continues: “With the 70th and last official Anniversary of the Battle of Britain being celebrated from May-September next year, the RAF wants to capitalise on this most famous of events in British aviation warfare.”
In celebration of this, the stand at BLE will house re-enactors from the RAF Museum in authentic WW2 fighter pilot uniforms, and inspirational artefacts showing some of the many highlights of the museum’s thousands of artefacts, documents and photographs.
The RAF stand will also provide a window onto the world of the military aviation service for licensees and retailers and show the impact of the brand both in product development and marketing.
Gresswell continues: “Licensees and retailers will also be impressed by the high-speed action footage of the Red Arrows Aerobatic Display Team who perform their split-second routines at air shows across the world and one of the famous Diamond Nine Pilots will even be present on the stand to meet the public."
Visitors to the stand will be able to take away a copy of the new RAF Style Guide, packed with photographs, product concepts and design elements including squadron badges.
The organisation will also be announcing two new licensing deals with special significance for 2010 at the show.
Alongside BLE, the RAF has a number of air shows throughout the year, including the RAF Fairford International Air Tattoo, which attracts over 100,000 visitors, enabling the public to see the aircraft and meet the people that make the RAF brand. | aerospace |

Increase airport efficiency by optimizing current processes, improve passenger travel experience, optimize travel routes of aircrafts and thus reduce overall energy consumption and CO2 emissions
Smart Aviation, a cloud platform, intends to optimize airport operations, aircraft routes, fuel consumptions and by implementing all that, reduce the environmental load as much as possible.
The cloud platform will be fully integrated into all airport processes including ground handling and airport operations. With this type of integration a huge amount of information is available which can be used to optimize airport processes including passenger flow through the airport, security monitoring of passengers and baggage, optimization of aircraft routes by analyzing passenger routes. Most of the current airport systems are not interconnected and any integration between several system integrators is expensive and as such not done very often. With an airport cloud platform which is fully integrated in all airport and ground handler operations, all of those problems are solved and all information is accessible the moment they occur.

There are a lot of drone companies in Dubai that are operating to provide drones to general people and also to the professionals because there are different kinds of drones which are available. When you are going to have the drone then you need to check a few Dubai drone filming company services so you will get to know what they all the offering and then get the best one which you like the most according to the work you want to do with that. Here are a few things that you need to check before you are going to operate your drone:
Air speed: You need to check the air speed of your area where you are going to use that drone. If you are using a domestic level drone and not the professional one then you should be very careful in this because a little more speed of air will damage your drone and the camera that you have on that. While using it for your general works you do not need to have air measuring tool but you can take the idea by going out and staying there for a few minutes. Speed should not be more than 15 meters per second.
Air temperature: You should also be careful about the temperature of air which means you need to check the weather forecast before you step outside to operate of your drone. If the drone is of professional level then it can bear more temperature and speed but the regular ones are not very sturdy while in heavy air speed or their performance will go down when the temperature reaches to the maximum of 45 degree or drops down to 0 degree Celsius.
Altitude: There is a great need to know about the highest level at which you can take your drone. When you take your drone to above that level then you will lost your control over that because the signals between the remote and remote will be scattered and the drone will get out of your control and it may crash down resulting a great damage to your drone and even to your camera. The safest distance to which you can take your drone is 5000 meters and above that you need to stop going any further and drone will also indicate it by itself. | aerospace |

Regulation no. 755 of 1 June 2010 relating to licences for radio equipment on board Norwegian registered aircraft entered into force on 1 July 2010. The Regulations replaced Regulations no. 1612 of 21 December 2001.
Requirements for a licence
The use of radio equipment on board Norwegian registered aircraft requires a licence from Nkom.
A licence may be granted to a person or company that is responsible for the operation of the aircraft.
Application shall be sent to Nkom using the form which can be found at the bottom of the page (Application for a licence for radio equipment on board a Norwegian registered aircraft).
Holders of licences for radio equipment on board Norwegian registered aircraft are obligated to notify Nkom in writing about any changes to equipment, address or ownership/operator situation.
If the licence is cancelled, for example in connection with a sale or de-registering, the licence document shall be returned to Nkom.
If a Norwegian registered aircraft is sold to another country it shall be documented to Nkom that the Norwegian identity has been removed from the equipment.
All radio equipment shall be in accordance with Section 8-1 of Act no. 83 of 4 July 2003 relating to electronic communications (the Electronic Communications Act).
Compliance must be documented upon request.
Radio equipment shall be compliant with the requirements in Annex 10 of the Convention of 7 December 1994 on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention) from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Radio equipment must be compliant with joint European requirements which Norway has agreed to, cf. Regulations no. 99 of 26 January 2007 relating to the establishment of a single European sky, cf. Regulation (EC) no. 552/2004 on the interoperability of the European Air Traffic Management Network (Interoperability Regulation) including amendments.
Radio equipment approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)1 may be used in Norwegian registered aircraft. EASA has published an overview of equipments that have been approved for use on board aircraft. The overview is available at EASA's website.
As a general rule, radio equipment that was approved in an EEA member country prior to 28 September 2003 is approved for use in Norwegian registered aircrafts, but there are exceptions to this rule.
It is possible to apply to use radio equipment that has not been approved by EASA on aircraft that are exempt from the EASA rules.
The "ICAO Aircraft 24-bit Address" is often referred to as ICAO ID in Norway. An application must be sent to the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority in order to get an ICAO ID for the aircraft if this is required.
Programming of transponders
If an aircraft has a mode S transponder, documentation must be sent to Nkom that shows that the unit has been correctly programmed with the Norwegian ICAO ID ("ICAO Aircraft 24-bit Address") allocated to the aircraft.
Programming of emergency beacons
If an aircraft has a 406 MHz emergency beacon it must be programmed with ICAO ID in accordance with one of the following protocols as defined by Cospas-Sarsat:
- "Serial User Protocol with Aircraft 24-bit Address"
- "Serial User Location Protocol with Aircraft 24-bit Address"
- "Standard Location Protocol with Aircraft 24-bit Address"
Documentation shall be sent to Nkom ("programming certificate") showing that the issued ICAO ID has been correctly programmed in the emergency beacon. This documentation must contain complete information about "Beacon ID". "Beacon ID" in the form of "15 Hex ID" is a combination of 15 letters and numbers that can be decoded with the “Beacon Message Decode Program” on the Cospas-Sarsat website such that one can see the values of the parameters in the relevant emergency beacon, for example, protocol, country code, ICAO ID and "number of additional ELTs".
Transition to 8,33 kHz channels on Aeronautical VHF
In line with Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 a transition is ongoing from 25 kHz channels to 8,33 kHz channels on the aeronautical VHF frequencies in the band 119.975 - 137 MHz.
The Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1079/2012 is implemented in Norwegian law in BSL G 1-2 in «Regelverk for norsk sivil luftfart», i.e. forskrift om samvirkingsevnen i Det europeiske nett for lufttrafikkstyring.
According to the Norwegian Aviation Authority 25 kHz VHF channels will still be used for some time. According to the Norwegian Aviation Authority «de-ice» and some other services on the ground will move to 8,33 kHz channels by June 2018.
New radio equipment and other new systems that are put into service must comply with the requirements for 8,33 kHz aeronautical VHF speech channels.
For civil flights abroad after 31st of December 2017 it will be necessary to have radios that are compliant with the requirements for 8,33 kHz aeronautical VHF speech channels.
Questions related to this transition may be sent to firstname.lastname@example.org.
Temporary licence to use radio equipment
It is possible to apply for a temporary licence to use radio equipment for a limited period such that the radio equipment can be used on the aircraft while arranging for a permanent licence.
Administrative charges and sector fees
The licence holder must pay administrative charges and sector fees in accordance with Regulations relating to sector fees and administrative charges to the Norwegian Communications Authority. A non-recurring charge is charged the first time such a license is issued. Sector fees must be paid every year, for the whole calendar year if the licence is valid on 1 January.
When new licenses are issued between 1 January and 1 July the full sector fee for the whole calendar year is charged.
When new licenses are issued between 1 July and 31 December only half the annual fee is charged.
It is possible to cancel the licence by submitting written notice to Nkom by 31 December to avoid paying annual administrative charges the following year.

Ratings are based on 12 key criteria, including fleet age, product offerings, profitability, staff relations, and passenger reviews.
Philippine Flag Carrier Receives “Most Improved” Award
According to the Editor-in-Chief of AirlineRatings.com, Geoffrey Thomas, PAL’s expansion into new generation, fuel-efficient aircraft with upgraded cabins makes it the best choice for this year’s “Most Improved Airline” category.
Meanwhile, PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna mentioned that AirlineRatings.com editors also commended the airline’s domestic and international expansion plans. These include new routes to Mumbai and New Delhi in India, as well as to Sapporo in Japan.
Earlier this year, PAL rolled out its brand new A321neo aircraft and Airbus A350. The 168-seater A321neo aircraft offers more leg room and cabin space, along with enhanced cabin layout and seat design. Staring this December, it will be used for PAL’s Manila-Sapporo route.
The Airbus 350, on the other hand, will be used for long-haul flights, such as PAL’s non-stop route from Manila to New York. This aircraft, which is quieter compared to most other planes, will also be used for the airline’s flights to North America and European destinations.
Notably, AirlineRatings.com named Singapore Airlines as “Airline of the Year.” Also included in the top 10 best airlines are: Air New Zealand, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Virgin Australia, Emirates, All Nippon Airways, EVA Air, Cathay Pacific Airways, and Japan Airlines.
Congratulations to Philippine Airlines for being the Most Improved Airline for 2019! Indeed, we are proud to see the country’s flag carrier rise up in the ranks among the world’s top carriers. | aerospace |

Koko, who said an investigation would “begin in earnest to determine the remote cause,” expressed his condolence message on behalf of his committee to the NAF and the families.
He said, “This is to confirm that a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) Beechcraft KingAir B350i aircraft crashed while returning to the Abuja Airport after reporting engine failure en-route Minna. First responders are at the scene. Sadly, all seven personnel on board died in the crash. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Vice Marshal Oladayo Amao, has ordered an immediate investigation into the incident.
“While mourn with families of the deceased, we urge Nigerians to remain calm and await the outcome of the investigation.”
The lawmaker noted that the committee under the leadership of the Speaker of the House, Femi Gbajabiamila, is “deeply saddened by this development and will work with the Chief of Air Staff to unravel the remote cause.”
Koko said the committee also commiserates with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.). He also prays to God to comfort the bereaved families and grant the departed souls eternal rest.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Airforce has released the names of seven of its officers who died when its aircraft, Beechcraft KingAir B350i, crashed in Abuja on Sunday
In a statement made available to journalists, NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, said the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Vice Marshal IO Amao, has ordered an immediate probe of the accident.
Daramola said the Air Force expressed condolences to the families of the victims who have been notified of the tragic occurrence.
The NAF spokesman also said the officers were “scheduled to conduct surveillance missions over Niger State and its environs in connection with the concerted efforts to secure the release of the students/staff abducted from the Government Science College Kagara, Niger State”.
He gave the names of the officers as:
Flight Lieutenant Haruna Gadzama (Captain)
Flight Lieutenant Henry Piyo (Co-Pilot).
Flying Officer Micheal Okpara (Airborne Tactical Observation System (ATOS) Specialist).
Warrant Officer Bassey Etim (ATOS Specialist).
Flight Sergeant Olasunkanmi Olawunmi (ATOS Specialist).
Sergeant Ugochukwu Oluka (ATOS Specialist).
Aircraftman Adewale Johnson (Onboard Technician).
Daramola added that the CAS visited the scene of the accident on Sunday in the company of the Minister of Defence, Major General Bashir Magashi (retired); Minister of Aviation, Senator Hadi Sirika; Chief of Defence Staff, Major General Lucky Irabor, and other Service Chiefs.
“The CAS, on behalf of officers, airmen and airwomen of the NAF, once more commiserates with the families of the deceased personnel and prays that the Almighty God grants their souls eternal repose,” he added. | aerospace |

ABOUT MARTI SHANE
Small towns breed big dreams. I left my hometown of Live Oak, Florida and joined the U.S. Air Force dreaming big. I wanted to fly, didn't we all? Well, here's the thing. (There's always a thing.) After working my butt off to earn my degree with three kids and alternating deployments with my husband, the time had come. Ever heard of the test of basic aviation skills? Yeah, flying's not my thing. Evidently, I have zero sense of direction and would fly the plane directly into the ground.
After 8 years, I decided to keep my feet on the ground and take on corporate America. With my husband still in the military, I kept up the one passion I discovered during our deployments. Writing steamy romance stories. The power of the pen keeps our romance alive when we're apart six months at a time.
I had thirteen years of success in climbing the corporate ladder, earning my Doctorate along the way. I had little passion for the work, but a girl's got to eat. Turns out, keeping my feet on the ground is overrated. JUMP! Write! There's no such thing as failure as long as you try. I love every second! Thanks for joining the journey. | aerospace |

Earlier this month they interviewed David for their business insight article on Drone training. Here's the article below
It's not difficult to see the attraction of using a drone to shoot photographs and for filming. They have the capacity to quite easily produce some stunning imagery almost immediately out of the box and as prices have dropped their popularity has unsurprisingly sky-rocketed. Most drone flights are by amateurs, undertaken without any training and despite the ease with which they can be flown, there is a lot of potential for injury and damage and unfortunately there are many examples of just this happening around the World. Obviously the desire to use drones to produce this amazing aerial work is very tempting for creatives but to use them for commercial purposes means flights have to be undertaken by trained pilots who are licenced by civil aviation authorities. In our interview commercial photographer and filmmaker David Cantwell tells us about his experience of becoming a qualified pilot.
Tell us about your commercial practice.
I'm a commercial photographer based in Dublin, shooting hotels, interiors, food and corporate portraiture. Our clients vary from the legal profession, accountant firms, food sector and manufacturing. All mainly business-to-business.
What’s the attraction of drone flying for you?
I first wanted a drone as a bit of a toy. I'm a gadget freak so this was the new thing I wanted to play with. When I looked into the many types of drones on the market I couldn't believe how many there were and vast difference in quality, spec and price.
Some time went by before I did decide to make a purchase and this was prompted by a client of mine that I already do stills and video for. He wanted to offer his clients this drone service. Naively at this stage I didn't know anything about training, licences or registering. I thought I was just going to make my purchase and then “the sky’s the limit”. I choose the Phantom 4 because of price, specification, reliability and comments online through social media and Youtube. I could have purchased online but I felt If I bought from a supplier here in Dublin, if I had any problems I could go back and talk face-to-face.
Why did you decide to get training?
When I went to the store I could see some literature about insurance and training. Regarding the training there was something about registration with the IAA. (Irish Aviation Authority). I asked the guy “Can I fly this any where? Can I fly this at any height? How fast will this thing go?" He preceded to tell me about everything that can go wrong with flying a drone, crashes, fly aways, injury to people and damaging property. This was something I had look into. I had a conversation with one of my clients about the licensing and registration and he was only informed that day that one of his clients were now insisting that all drone work was to be carried out only by registered insured and trained drone pilots because they were getting calls from the IAA about drone work that was on their site and who had shot it? In order to supply this as a service through my photography business I had to get trained, licensed and insured.
This was going to be a substantial investment for something that started as a bit of fun so the last thing I wanted to do was put this thing in the sky and crash it because of inexperience. The first thing I did on the way home with my new drone was to drop into a toy store and buy a small cheap quad copter (drone with 4 propellers) It cost me €50 and I spent the next 2 weeks trying to fly it around my house without crashing it. Room to room, taking off and landing it on an A4 sheet of paper. This would be invaluable when I finally took my Phantom 4 to the skies.
Who provides the training?
I signed up to a training course from a company called Flyryte. These guys would provide a full training course which at the end would enable me to register with IAA and I would then be able to apply for Specific Operating Permission (SOP). This is the very important bit with regards to using a drone for business. The SOP allows me to operate a drone for commercial work in any air space once prior permission is granted.
On completion of the course I would also receive a Pilot Competency Certificate (PCC) which is required by the insurance company.
The Flyryte course I found was the most comprehensive, covering the following:
• Irish Unmanned Aviation Law
• Irish Airspace Awareness
• Unmanned Operations Planning
• Risk Assessment & Management
• Principles of flight
• Aircraft Technical Knowledge
• Checklist use and multi-person operations • Case study: A flight from planning to execution
• IAA Flight testing: How to prepare and pass
What do you have to do on your exam?
For the exam I met the instructor at a location on an early Sunday morning and set about a few tasks, flying to a specified distance, to show distance awareness and flying away turning off GPS and returning the drone to the takeoff position. To show absolute control of the drone under any conditions and I had to submit four scenarios in which I would be using the drone for commercial use and fill out the appropriate paperwork to the IAA. On completion of all this I am now a fully licensed, trained drone pilot.
I would highly recommend training for anyone that's thinking of offering this as part of their business. The regulation of drone flight is only going to get tighter and tighter as more and more near misses and accidents happen with drones of every size.
What are the benefits of being a qualified pilot?
Once you’re licensed and insured, you’re separating yourself from the ordinary joe soap. Drone pilots are always kept up to date with changes in regulations so we will still be able to offer drone video and images to our customers.
While still learning and being very cautious with my drone, it is great fun, you just get better and better operating the drone and it really is a great bit of kit. I'm now offering this great service and achieving some images that I would never have achieved before for my customers.
How do you see for the future of commercial drone flight?
I see the industry getting more and more regulated because of the dangers involved in drone flight. There are two types of drone Pilot, one who has crashed his drone and two, is going to crash his drone. Every drone will eventually come down, be it pilot error or mechanical error. If you’re trained, licensed and insured you're covering every eventuality, your skill in landing in the case of mechanical error and covering your company with insurance in the case of a crash.
Would you recommend drone pilot training?
Any situation in which you can expand your services as a photographer I would recommend. Learning new skills is always good. With drones there are so many more things to take into consideration that are outside the perimeters of photography. Get trained, Get licenced and get insured.

https://lccsdrone.com/what-is-the-safe-wind-speed-for-drones/ | 2024-04-18T12:52:40 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00704.warc.gz | 0.969032 | 1,222 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__89363888 | en | As a drone enthusiast, I love asking questions, and one question I asked was how much wind can drones handle and after a couple of experiments here is what I found-
Generally, 10-20 mph wind speed is considered safe to fly a drone, and the maximum wind speed is 22 mph. However, you shouldn’t be flying in a high-velocity wind if the drone’s battery running is low, as the wind might cause it to drift off and crash.
However, most drones are capable of handling very high winds, it is the drone operator who usually makes mistakes, so drone manufacturers like to play safe and tell their customers far below what the drone can actually handle to avoid potential complications, so I set my own experiments and did my own research, and here is what I have found.
How much wind can a drone handle
I contacted DJI’s support team to get more ideas about this topic. I talked to a very nice guy, however he answered my question vaguely as you can see above.
He led me to one page on their website which actually said to not operate your drone if the wind speed exceeds 22 mph. however, he thought me one thing I didn’t know, both DJI inspire 1 and 2 have a software limit that won’t let them fly if the wind speed exceeds 55mph.
55 mph is not so close to 22 mph don’t you think so it led me to believe their drones are much capable than what they are saying.
Before we even proceed to the details you should be able to identify the wind speed, and there are 3 ways that I know of which can help you with that
- The first and the most accurate one is using an anemometer. Anemometer is a tool that is used to measure wind speed and pressure. It is sold for 30 bucks on amazon, this is the one I own and I think every one who wants to take this seriously has to own one.
- Another way to know the wind speed is using weather forecast apps or websites such as weather.com, they won’t be able to tell you accurately but they will give you the range for the day.
- The last and the least accurate way to know the wind speed is by guessing, check this article from weather.gov out that will help you with that.
With that being said what velocity wind can drones handle? I will be answering this question vaguely because depending on your skill, you will operate your drone differently.
I have been able to operate drones in high winds, when I say high I am talking about 45 mph+ winds. However, I have been flying UAVs for almost a decade now
That is inadvisable for beginner drone pilots as the drone might fly away and possibly crash which can cause damage to private property and/or physical damage which can lead to sophisticated legal cases.
So I recommend flying at the wind speed the manufacturer recommends, i.e. most consumer-level drones should be able to resist wind speeds up to 22 mph once you get comfortable with that then you will be able to advance more and more.
one thing I want to clear up I have read people saying “if the wind speed is 30 mph and your drone‘s max speed is also 30 mph you won’t be able to move because they will cancel out” which actually is not true because of the laws of aerodynamics. If your drone has a wide surface area that may have been closer to what they are saying. However, drones are designed to glide through wind just like airplanes or racing cars. which means 30 mph wind won’t push your drone 30 mph.
Tips on how to fly your drone in high winds
- Fly out upwind, return to home downwind. This is self-explanatory when the battery is full, fly against the wind and it will be easier to fly back later.
- When flying in high velocity wind for your drone to resist it will have to put more energy into the flight so full battery is very important.
- When the drone is in hover mode your drone will drain its battery because it is resisting the wind, so don’t stay in hover mode for long.
- When closer to the ground the wind speed is much lower, so if you have a hard time getting your drone to come back to you flying lower the altitude can help.
- Turn on sports mode, or you can also turn obstacle avoidance mode to get more control over your drone.
- When lift-off you should cover your drone from the wind if not it can tip over and break a propeller.
Legality and safety
F.A.A does not have any law against flying in high winds. However, they advise flying safely, depending on how you see it might be considered careless to fly a drone in high winds.
F.A.A suggests keeping your drone in sight at all times. in high winds, your drone might drift off so watch out for that
other than that use common sense to foresee what can go wrong to avoid complications for yourself and others
Speaking of the FAA, they have prepared a test for recreational UAV operators called TRUST it can be important in the near future so you should watch out for that
Maximum wind speed resistance of DJI drones
DJI is one of those companies that won’t say their product capabilities to avoid customer complications.
speaking of that I have tried to fly my DJI Mavic Pro in the rain, read this article I wrote about my experience if you want.
Anyways, despite DJI hiding the fact most drones in their lineup have good wind resistance, Inspire 2 is probably the best one yet, it has outstanding camera stabilization in high winds and it also has a good flight time, however, it is expensive so Mavic pro would be next on the line with an affordable price. | aerospace |

Boeing last Wednesday sent affected carriers service bulletins on how to address the production issue that could have interfered with some critical systems after the fixes were approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
The action was a relief for American carriers, which have more than 65 of the 109 aircraft affected worldwide and were eager to get planes back into the air before the summer travel season.
Boeing resumed deliveries of its best-selling 737 MAX on Wednesday, following approval of the fix for the electrical grounding issue, a person familiar with the matter said.

The Apollo 13 mission had a positive ending. Demonstrating technical expertise, resourcefulness and perseverance, the crew and mission controllers succeeded in improvising solutions to the power supply and other critical problems. After almost 6 days in space, the spacecraft splashed down safely in the South Pacific Ocean.
If humankind displays the same unity of purpose, creativity and determination in tackling the problems our planet faces today, we too can overcome adversity. Companies like Philips, with the innovation power and ability to scale solutions, have a vital role to play in this endeavor. But no single party can turn the tide. It takes all of us, working together.
There is a lot that we – private companies, governments, public organizations, but also citizens – can do to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy. Operating carbon-neutral, switching to ‘as a service’ business models, and adopting circular practices, to name just a few. But like the crew of Apollo 13, we have no time to lose. | aerospace |

Based in Colorado Springs, USA, the Systems Division of ITT Corporation is a prime contractor on the US defense program employed to sustain the service of operational systems through progressive re-engineering. Named the System Engineering and Sustainment Integrator (SENSOR), this extended engineering program covers the Air Force Space Command’s worldwide network of Missile Warning, Missile Defense and Space Surveillance systems. For ITT Systems Division, this currently includes the re-engineering of signal processing systems in the AN/FPS-85 phased-array radar system based at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
Unlike traditional radar systems that use a focused moveable antenna dish, phased array radars utilize an antenna system based on a multitude of small, fixed antennas arranged in a large array. The antenna elements are electronically interconnected with variable phase relationships to behave as a large antenna with the desired directional properties, thereby creating an extremely versatile ‘steered’ antenna system with no moving parts. The Eglin facility was constructed in the 1960s as the world’s first large phased-array radar and remains as a prime space surveillance facility – even while undergoing systematic upgrading through the SENSOR program. For their part in the upgrade process, ITT Systems Division has selected.
Altium Designer for re-engineering the signal processing electronics in this advanced space surveillance system.
At the time of commission in the late 1960s the Eglin phased array radar used cutting-edge technology and consequently offered unprecedented tracking capabilities and performance. Continuing this uncompromising approach, the current re-engineering process will implement the very latest technology and techniques to create signal processing electronics that will similarly be at the cutting-edge when the system is commissioned in 2010.
Such a forward-thinking development process places high demands on the ITT development team and the tools they use to create the new signal processing subsystems and operational software. As such, the engineering team at ITT is typically applying the latest real-time Java embedded programming techniques to high-performance programmable devices, which are in turn incorporated on high-reliability three to five layer circuit boards. During this development process, where national defense requirements dictate a rigorous sequential development-approval cycle, the accuracy, reliability and productivity of the development systems is paramount – in practice, production delays or the propagation of undetected errors is simply unacceptable.
During the early stages of the SENSOR project the engineers at ITT Systems Division quickly realized that in order to create next-generation radar technology to carry the military into the future they needed a design system that allowed them to make effective use of the latest electronic devices and design paradigms.
Altium Designer was clearly the system of choice because of its comprehensive capabilities, intuitive operation and ease of learning. Also, its unified design environment provided ITT Systems Division with the perfect platform to support the innovation that would be needed to successfully complete this challenging project.
Altium Designer has now been deployed through the engineering facilities at ITT Systems Division. Division management reports that engineers new to Altium Designer can typically be working with the system within half a day and the intuitive, unified design flow is allowing development engineers to contribute more to the design while increasing their productivity. The project team is similarly impressed with the response and expertise of Altium’s support services, which has invariably provided the correct solution to setup and operational issues on the first call. With Altium Designer, ITT Systems Division is now moving forward with the demanding Eglin radar re-engineering project without the restrictions and barriers imposed by lastgeneration electronic development systems.
The AN/FPS-85 space surveillance radar can simultaneously track a large number of earth-orbiting targets and scan large areas of space using its sophisticated phased array antenna system composed of almost 6,000 transmitter antennas and 20,000 receiver antennas. With an operating power of up to 30 megawatts at a frequency of around 400 megahertz, the radar system can reportedly detect, track and identify objects the size of a softball moving in a near-earth orbit of 300 miles. The SENSOR re-engineering program seeks to increase the radar’s range, accuracy and overall performance while increasing its reliability and lowering maintenance costs through the implementation of the latest electronic technology and software systems.
ITT Corporation, Systems Division provides select government, commercial and international customers with value-added, total worldwide systems solutions for their defense, communications, command and control, range, spacelift, surveillance and force protection needs, as well as full logistics support services for facilities and equipment. ITT Systems Division is an ISO 9001:2000-certified business with more than 7,000 employees operating at 99 locations in the United States and 23 countries. As part of its SENSOR contract responsibilities, ITT Systems Division provides depot-level support and software maintenance, and performs Service Life Extension Programs (SLEP) for the US Air Force Space Command’s worldwide network of space surveillance systems. | aerospace |
