The three include; an Airbus A380, an Airbus A320 “flying testbed” and an Embraer Phenom 100E from the Etihad Flight College (EFC).
The aircrafts were toured by UAE’s Lieutenant General His Highness Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior and His Highness Sheikh Hazza bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice Chairman of Executive Council.
Peter Baumgartner, Etihad Airways Chief Executive Officer, said: “We were delighted to welcome Royal guests who visited our aircraft on the opening day of the Dubai Airshow.
We presented our groundbreaking interiors aboard the A380; innovation and technical excellence on our A320 testbed aircraft; and our Emirati cadets from the Etihad Flight College whose engagement with visitors is a great source of national pride.”
Etihad Airways’ A380 on display is the same aircraft that took part in the spectacular low fly-by over the Louvre Abu Dhabi at the museum’s official opening yesterday. With its four engines adorned in official Louvre Abu Dhabi logos, Etihad Airways’ A380 superjumbo interiors boast features which are inspired by the museum’s iconic dome and its ‘Rain of Light’ effect.
These include ceiling designs and light projections in the boarding zones, Lobby Lounge, First Class and The Residence cabins of the A380s, and stylised sconce lighting in the Business Studios which imitate the way sunlight streams through the fronds of palm trees in a desert oasis.
The Etihad Aviation Group’s role at the forefront of aviation innovation was reinforced on the A320 “flying testbed”, which has been converted to showcase WI-FLY+, the new, superfast inflight connectivity developed by Yahsat, the UAE based satellite operator; Etihad Airways Engineering; telecommunications company du; and technology partners Hughes Network Systems and Carlisle Interconnect. Achieving speeds of more than 50Mbps in recent trials, Dubai Airshow guests are able to experience the next-generation system for themselves by accessing HD streaming content such as YouTube or Netflix.
The third facet of the display is Etihad Flight College’s Embraer Phenom 100E. EFC was the first flight college in the world to conduct abinitio flight training on the aircraft. It is also the first Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL) programme with all jet training.
Also exhibiting on the display apron is an F1 racing car promoting the forthcoming Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Alongside is a 16-metre mobile exhibition vehicle (MEV) featuring cabin products and inflight service elements on long-haul aircraft, including The Residence on the A380.
The Etihad Airways aircraft, MEV and F1 car will be on display all week at the Airshow 2017, being held at Maktoum International Airport. | aerospace |

Thе rеaction comеs as a robust assurancе that thе airspacе of Pakistan is absolutеly safе for all airlinеs throughout thе globе.
A Clеar Rеbuttal
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has catеgorically statеd that thе issues raised by the European Aviation Agеncy EASA concerning anti-planе guns and missilе thrеats in Pakistani airspacе arе еntirеly unfoundеd. Dеfying thе Europеan aviation dirеctivе issuеd on July 28, thе CAA has stood its floor, maintaining that thеrе may bе no battlе or thrеat to thе planеs running in Pakistani airspacе.
Endorsеmеnt from Lеading Authoritiеs
To support thе crеdibility of thеir stancе, thе CAA has garnеrеd aid from international gamеrs within thе aviation еntеrprisе. Notably, Britain, through its Civil Aviation Authority, has additionally dеclarеd Pakistan’s airspacе to bе absolutеly safе. This еndorsеmеnt similarly strеngthеns thе location of thе CAA and validatеs its commitmеnt to making surе thе protеction of all airways flying via Pakistani airspacе.
Statе-of-thе-Art Safеty Mеasurеs
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority has invеstеd apprеciably in cutting-еdgе safеty and safеty fеaturеs to shiеld its airspacе. From advancеd radar structurеs to sophisticatеd communiquе protocols, еach thing of aviation safety has bееn mеticulously addrеssеd to makе cеrtain a clеan and stablе еnjoy for all airways running in Pakistani airspacе.

Bеyond infrastructurе and еra, Pakistan locations еnormous еmphasis on pilot еducation and undеrstanding. Thе unitеd statеs boast a pool of еxcееdingly profеssional and nicеly-trainеd pilots who undеrgo rigorous еducation and pеriodic еxams. This dеdication to kееping a skillеd pilot tеam of workеrs is an еssеntial еlеmеnt of еnsuring safе and stablе air travеl.
Enhancеd Air Traffic Management
The Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority has also applied more suitable air visitor management structurеs. Which play a pivotal position in making surе еasy opеrations and minimizing potential dangеrs. With contеmporary technology and rеal-timе monitoring, air traffic controllеrs can еffеctivеly manipulatе airspacе congеstion, furthеr bolstеring thе protеction of air travеl.

Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) researcher Dr. Thomas Jennewein and Dr. Vadim Makarov have received a $600,000 contract from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to design and build a compact prototype Quantum Key Distribution Receiver (QKDR) suitable for a low-cost microsatellite mission.
In collaboration with a number of industry partners, Dr. Jennewein and his team will refine the requirements for a QKDR, select an instrument concept, develop the detailed design of the prototype, quantify single photon detectors for the space radiation environment, assemble and functionally test a prototype QKDR, and conduct an end-to-end test to simulate a long-distance Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) experiment.
Over the past three years, Dr. Jennewein and his team have been working with industry partners to advance a proposed microsatellite mission called QEYSSat (Quantum EncrYption and Science Satellite) through a series of technical studies funded initially by Defense Research and Development Canada (DRDC) and subsequently by the CSA. Dr. Vadim Makarov will support the project through his extensive expertise on single photon detectors and security of quantum cryptography systems, and the study on mitigating detector dark counts through cooling of devices.
QEYSSat’s mission objectives would be to demonstrate the generation of encryption keys through the creation of quantum links between ground and space, and also to conduct fundamental science investigations of long-distance quantum entanglement. Developing and demonstrating a compact prototype QKDR that has the required form, fit and function suitable for a low-cost microsatellite mission will advance the relevant technology and significantly retire technical risks associated with a potential future flight instrument for QEYSSat.
QKD establishes highly secure keys between distant parties by using single photons to transmit each bit of the key. Since single photons behave according the laws of quantum mechanics, they cannot be tapped, copied or directly measured without detection. The huge benefit for users of such systems is the peace of mind of knowing that any attack, manipulation or copying of the photons can be immediately detected and overcome. QKD solves the long-standing problem of securely transporting cryptographic keys between distant locations. However, ground-based technologies can only cover distances of up to 200 km due to photon absorption in fibre optic cables. Satellite-based QKD systems like the proposed QEYSSat mission offer the best approach for surpassing this distance limitation with today’s technology.
For over a decade, Dr. Jennewein has been strategically involved in shaping and advancing long-distance quantum communication experiments by bringing quantum communication experiments into space. This work was initially started by the European Space Agency (ESA) in 2001 and evolved into a program called Space-QUEST, which included a proposal for performing several experiments on the foundations and applications of quantum physics in space with space-based quantum hardware.
In 2008, Dr. Jennewein participated in an experiment in which reflected weak laser pulses were sent from the ground to a low Earth orbit satellite and the transmission results were used to estimate a key rate for QKD transmission from the satellite to the ground. Prior to his work with the CSA as the principal investigator for QEYSSat, Dr. Jennewein was a co-investigator in a series of ESA studies on quantum physics in space. | aerospace |

From new companies purporting to slash the price of private jet hire to entrepreneurs preparing for a return to the era of supersonic speed and space travel, there are a lot of exciting developments on the horizon for luxury aviation.
First, for the news at the apex of the market. It’s not just far-out sounding ventures for flying enthusiasts on the fringes of the luxury market like the hundreds who have reserved seats aboard the Virgin Galactic suborbital space craft for $200,000 apiece – which is reportedly due to launch early next year.
There has also been a lot of chatter in the blogosphere this week about creating higher standards of luxury and convenience in executive air travel and about the race for manufacturers like Aerion and HyperMach to build aircraft which will give consumers back the option to drastically decrease flight times.
“ The sales pitch is simple: you’ve had to endure prehistoric journey times long enough since 2003 and now we will do what Concorde did – but even better. ”
Back when the iconic Concorde was mothballed in 2003, it was under the dark shadow of the devastating Air France crash that had killed all 100 Concorde passengers three years earlier. But the real reason that the Anglo-French venture in supersonic passenger planes ended was that the two governments had granted Concorde carriers British Airways and Air France subsidies to buy them and that the aircraft was simply deemed to be unprofitable in the long term.
The sales pitch for companies like HyperMach and Aerion is simple. The wealthy had come to count on saving precious hours flying exclusively with like-minded peers for nearly thirty years on Concorde and that service was abruptly snatched out from under them. The next generation of aircraft manufacturers will be counting on a lost sense of entitlement among these consumers – a feeling that they’ve had to endure ‘prehistoric’ journey times long enough since 2003 and that now is the time to do what Concorde did for them once again – and have it done even better.
The Concorde taking off on its final flight in 2003
One need only look at how many thousands of times the sensational headline “New York to Sydney in five hours!” has been used to catch readers’ interest since one such aircraft was first reported by The Daily Mail three years ago. Back then they had dubbed the plane the A2 or “Son of the Concorde”. The only problem with this ground-breaking machine said to fly at five times the speed of sound (Mach 5) was that the details were still very sketchy and there was absolutely no timeline put on when the concept would become a commercial reality.
Keep in mind that a typical jumbo jet in the skies today like the Airbus 380 cruises at a speed of less than Mach 1 (about Mach 0.85 or 900 kilometres per hour) and that the Concorde cruised at just over Mach 2 (about 2,170 kilometres per hour).
But now, according to the Humans Invent blog, “the race to revive supersonic transport has already begun, with faster, more fuel efficient planes being lined up to replace Concorde, capable of flying from Paris to Tokyo in less than three hours. EADS’s Zero Emission Hyper Sonic Transport (ZEHST) is just one of a new breed of supersonic aircraft. Primed for 2050, it will be powered by biofuel made from seaweed, reach speeds up to 5,000 kmh using a combination of ramjets and rockets, and carry passengers above the Earth’s atmosphere. It will be both cost effective, and fast."
EADS spokesman Gregor von Kursell explained to the blog’s author, Stephen Ebert, that “Concorde was 1950s and 1960s technology. The three different propulsion types we’re considering – one of which we have perfected for the Ariane rocket – could make this achievable by 2050.”
The Aerion SBJ supersonic business jet with a speed up to Mac 1.6
The author continued: “ZEHST won’t be alone. Hypermach recently unveiled plans for the SonicStar – a business jet capable of speeds as fast as Concorde at Mach 3.3, and 30 per cent more efficient than the engines used in Concorde. A London to New York flight will take just a couple of hours, says Hypermach. The next generation of supersonic aircraft will be quieter too. Hypermach will use the latest technologies to reduce the sound of sonic booms over land to cut down on the sort of noise pollution associated with Concorde aircraft of old. The first bookings are already being taken, with the first SonicStar flights due to take off in 2021.”
A few months back, Forbes put another high speed aircraft into perspective by comparing the fastest contemporary business jet, the Cessna Citation X, with the Aerion SBJ which Aerion’s spokesman says will be put into production “soon” thanks to letters of intent for 50 orders for the $80 million aircraft. According to Forbes’s calculations, crossing the Atlantic could be cut in half.
“The Aerion SBJ, a supersonic business jet…flies at speeds up to Mac 1.6. This is much faster than any current civilian aircraft but a bit short of Concorde’s Mach 2. It will let you fly from New York to Paris in 4:14 hours (compared with 7:23 in a Gulfstream V) or New York to Los Angeles at M0.98, to avoid those pesky sonic booms, and still arrive 41 minutes before a G-V. By flying over the sea, New York to Miami is just 1:33 hours. In other words, it’s fast and it’s efficient.”
The homepage of www.PrivateFly.com
At the other end of the spectrum are two entrepreneurs who find themselves in the news thanks to new business models which hope to make private jet travel more accessible and even what some dare to call ‘democratic’. The first is Clive Jackson, who is launching a private jet-share community called Victor at Flyvictor.com.
According to the The Daily Telegraph, “[Jackson’s] new website…allows members to book spare seats on private flights already chartered by other travellers. Members can opt to pay a fixed price for a seat – a price which gets lower as the other available seats are filled – or place a bid on a seat and wait to see if the price is accepted. Current jet broking businesses require members to buy shares in a specific plane which they can charter flights on. Victor members, however, are not required to provide any form of upfront investment or deposit, other than payment for the seats for their flight.”
“[Jackson] argues that existing jet brokering services, such as NetJets, are not focused on cost, where as his is. In addition to providing a competitive service to existing jet charter customers who will often have to foot the bill for the jet returning to its base empty, he aims to attract passengers who perhaps would not previously have considered the advantages of flying privately.”
The second is Adam Twidell, CEO of PrivateFly.com and a former Royal Air Force pilot who Reuters says “understands the needs of busy jetsetters [because he] used to fly planes for fractional-ownership jet firm NetJets and now runs an online marketplace for private charter aircraft that’s been called ‘the iTunes of aviation.’”
If they do indeed hit the mark, then what might just make the likes of Mr. Jackson and Mr. Twidell the next generation of deep-pocketed service providers in the private jet sector is a growing malaise among business class travellers using commercial flights. One need only peruse a few of the testimonies given by a few of these globetrotters that BusinessWeek recently chronicled for confirmation of the fact. Or simply absorb the headline: “Shared Jet Sales Soar as Rich Fliers Avoid Airline Hassles.” | aerospace |

Drone aircraft are increasingly engaged in counterdrug missions over South American jungles and Mexican cities.
The drones represent the latest high-tech escalation of Latin America’s anti-drug efforts.
Unlike the US military’s Predator drones used to shoot missiles at suspected terrorists in Pakistan’s tribal areas, the models known to be in use in Latin America limit their roles to intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
Latin America’s unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs—as drones are known in aviation circles—are not known to have flown armed missions.
Israel Aerospace Industries, a company that is Israel’s largest industrial exporter, struck recent multimillion-dollar deals in Ecuador and Brazil for its large, 54-foot wingspan Heron drone model.
Israel Aerospace has offices in Colombia, Chile and Ecuador and launched a new joint venture company in Brazil in 2008. The manufacturer sees promise in the Latin American UAV market.
“As we have experienced in other markets, as the [UAV] system becomes more familiar, new applications are found and, as a result, the market will grow,” Doron Suslik, spokesman for Israel Aerospace, wrote in an e-mail.
The UAVs make sense for Latin America since they are more cost-effective and remain in the air longer than manned flights, said Ray Walser, senior policy analyst for the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, DC.
“I think the more the merrier,” he said. “Right now, there are some nations in which you simply don’t know what’s going on in your own territory.”
Two other Israeli manufacturers, Elbit Systems and Aeronautics Defense Systems Ltd., have also sold UAVs to clients in the Americas in the last two years.
The US defense industry also manufactures UAVs, including the Predator series deployed in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But the transfer of US-made military technology to foreign governments is highly regulated.
“If it is something you can buy off the rack in Israel,” you can avoid some of the scrutiny accompanying US sales, said Rick Van Schoik, director of Arizona State University’s North American Center for Transborder Studies.
Latin American buyers of UAVs may be acquiring them from Israel, but they are following the example of the United States, which pioneered the use of UAVs in non-combat law enforcement roles.
As early as 2004, the US Border Patrol tested Elbit Systems’ 34-feet wingspan Hermes drone to patrol the border with Mexico.
Today, US Customs and Border Protection’s 300-aircraft fleet includes six unarmed Predator B UAVs manufactured by California-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, said John Stanton, executive director for National Air Security Operations.
Three of the Customs and Border Protection Predator Bs are stationed south of Tucson, Ariz., from where they patrol the US-Mexico border. Another Predator B modified for maritime surveillance off southeastern U.S. shores will soon be involved in drug enforcement missions.
The Pentagon has also deployed UAVs for counter-narcotics work.
Drones play an important role supporting “allies around the world in efforts to curb the illegal narcotics trade,” said US Defense Department spokesman Cmdr. Bob Mehal. He declined to discuss specifics.
However, it is known that the Miami-based US Southern Command, which oversees Pentagon operations in Latin America, has been a testing ground for UAVs.
One SouthCom test in May 2009 at a base in El Salvador involved a Heron UAV manufactured by one of Israel Aerospace’s North American subsidiaries, Stark Aerospace, headquartered in Mississippi. The air base, Comalapa, is one of the overseas “Forward Operating Locations” the Pentagon established for counter-narcotics missions in cooperation with Latin American and Caribbean governments.
“We think it was a resounding success,” Southcom spokesman José Ruiz said of last year’s test, in which the Heron flew over 100 hours, through strong winds, heavy cloud cover and rain, tracking a suspected drug ship in the Pacific.
After the test, Mississippi’s US senators requested and received $9 million for Stark to supply the Heron to SouthCom as part of the Defense Department’s 2010 budget.
Salvadoran Air Force Col. Nelson Hernández, who commands Comalapa, also closely followed the Heron’s performance.
“We are here to learn,” he was quoted as saying in a SouthCom report on the Heron flights. “It is possible that perhaps in our future, we may consider our own project or the acquisition of an existing UAV. We are, so to speak, like sponges, eager to see what we can absorb from this experience.”
In the end, El Salvador didn’t acquire a Heron, because of the multimillion-dollar price tag.
“Due to budgetary reasons, El Salvador is not contemplating the acquisition of this type of aircraft in the short term,” the country’s Defense Ministry said in a statement.
But other Latin American governments with more resources have made the leap.
In June, Ecuador acquired six Israel Aerospace UAVs with $22 million from a special government program established with oil revenue, according to an Ecuadorean armed forces statement.
In 2008, Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa canceled an agreement allowing the Pentagon to operate surveillance and interdiction missions from a Forward Operating Location in Manta, Ecuador. The four Searcher and two Heron models were acquired to make up for the lost US-led counter-drug flights.
The new UAVs are stationed at the Manta base, from where they will watch offshore waters for drug-runners and “coyotaje”—or human trafficking—and also reinforce Ecuador’s northern border with Colombia.
Mexico’s government reportedly flies a drone comparable to the Heron, an Elbit Systems’ Hermes 450, out of Ensenada, just south of Tijuana.
Ensenada residents have routinely spotted drone-like aircraft in flight over the city and one was even photographed this month by the Agencia Fronteriza de Noticias de Tijuana, a news agency.
After publishing a photo of the mystery aircraft online, Agencia Fronteriza identified it as a Hermes, thanks to reader feedback.
The UAV “caught our attention because of its nocturnal over-flights in Ensenada and the loud noise it produces while in the air,” said a Jan. 18 article accompanying the photos.
It seems likely any Mexican purchase of Hermes UAVs occurred in September 2008, when Elbit Systems announced in a press release it had closed a $25 million deal for Hermes and smaller Skylark drones with an unnamed country in the Americas. Jane’s Defence Weekly reported the purchasing country as Mexico, citing an anonymous industry source.
A 24-year-old American, an aviation photographer who wished to remain anonymous, told New America Media he was in a private aircraft last month and saw three large drones with a V-shaped tail—a defining characteristic of the Hermes—at the Ensenada air base that doubles as a civilian airport.
At press time, Mexico’s Defense Ministry had not yet answered requests for information on its UAV programs.
Mexico’s Public Security Department, which coordinates its country’s battle against drug trafficking, has touted its own programs in which smaller mini-drones keep tabs on drug cartels.
In March 2009, Eduardo Laris McGregor, who heads air operations for Mexico’s Federal Police, told Mexican reporters the drone fleet consists of four mini-UAVs and four balloon-type vehicles.
The eight UAVs are being used over epicenters of drug-linked violence, including Ciudad Juarez, Culiacán, and Tijuana.
The planes are a low-cost model marketed for use in urban warfare and low intensity conflicts. The Orbiter has a snub nose, upturned wingtips, a seven-feet wingspan, and is launched with a catapult-like device.
The Orbiter’s manufacturer, Aeronautics Defense Systems Ltd. of Israel, also makes the Skystar 300 balloon acquired in the deal. The Skystar takes video day or night (with infrared) as it drifts, for up to 72 hours at a time, at an altitude of 1,000 feet.
Mexican company Hydra Technologies leads a nascent national UAV industry, creating a small surveillance UAV: the Ehécatl, named after the Aztec wind god.
Further south in the Andean region, reports of drone over-flights triggered last month’s spat between Colombia and Venezuela.
Just before Christmas, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez accused Colombia of sending a spy drone into his country’s airspace. Colombia’s close military cooperation with the United States has strained relations between the Andean neighbors.
Colombian officials denied Chávez’s allegation, quipping the Venezuelans may instead have spotted “Santa’s sleigh.”
Colombian armed forces commander Gen. Freddy Padilla acknowledged having drones, but said his were small aircraft with a range so limited they could not have flown into Venezuela.
Padilla said his drones guard oil pipelines and electrical towers often sabotaged by guerrillas.
The Brazilian Federal Police—responsible for controlling Brazil’s 10,500 miles of remote land borders with 10 countries—has one of the world’s largest non-military UAV programs.
Last year, Brazil purchased 14 Heron systems for the federal police’s border protection, crime prevention, and counter-drug duties, at a cost of approximately $4.5 million per aircraft, according to a government press release.
Demonstrations of the Heron were held in late July 2009 at São Miguel de Iguaçu, near Brazil’s triple border with Paraguay and Argentina.
According to Israel Aerospace, “high ranking military and civilian representatives from a number of Latin American countries” were present to observe.
The Herons will fly from four different air bases distributed around Brazil’s huge landmass, the Ministry of Justice said, touting the Herons’ ability to film and photograph objects on the ground from an altitude of 30,000 feet,
Some of the UAV patrols will cover the sparsely populated Amazon River Basin, reported state-owned news agency Agencia Brasil.
Meanwhile, the development of an advanced “made in Brazil” drone has become one goal of the country’s ambitious new defense strategy, approved by President Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva in December 2008.
Defense Minister Nelson Jobim, in an article earlier the same year for magazine Interesse Nacional, even floated the possibility that any Brazilian UAV be “not just for surveillance but also combat.”
This week, Jobim traveled to Israel where he toured Israel Aerospace’s facilities, and met with Israeli defense and intelligence officials. Jobim told reporters in Jerusalem he was negotiating a new purchase of UAVs that would include a technology transfer so that Brazil could manufacture similar drones.
Because so much is new and unknown about the region’s UAV programs, the implications for civil society have not been widely studied or debated.
“In the past it was just the United States flying them,” said Van Schoik of the North American Center for Transborder Studies. The extent of Latin American countries’ experiments with UAVs “raises the whole visibility of the issue.”
One remaining question is whether a Latin American country will deploy an armed drone.
Even with unarmed aircraft, there are risks. For example, bad intelligence gathered by a drone could result in a military or police raid killing innocents, said Adam Isacson, of the Washington, DC-based Center for International Policy.
“It’s not an outrageous thing to worry about,” he said, recalling an April 2001 incident in which US anti-drug agents working with Peruvian authorities shot down a plane carrying American missionaries. “It depends on how the countries who are using these things treat the intelligence.”
Perhaps a more immediate risk is from cross-border incursions with UAVs that trigger diplomatic crises, undermining regional stability, Isacson added.
Within Brazil, UAV programs have already generated controversy.
After the federal police announced its new Heron fleet, Rio de Janeiro officials sought federal approval to acquire Skylark mini-UAVs from Elbit Systems.
Rio is in the midst of a police push to wrest control of slums known as favelas away from drug gangs before hosting soccer’s 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic games.
In October, a police helicopter was shot down during an operation in a Rio-area favela and two officers died, spotlighting the risks of piloted flights.
But not everyone agrees the introduction of UAVs into an ever-escalating drug war is the right approach.
“It’s a mistake to think our problems with public security will be solved with high-tech military equipment,” wrote Valter Pomar, international relations secretary for Brazil’s governing Worker’s Party, in a letter to Israel’s Haaretz newspaper.

While she gave us major achievement goals, she also instilled in our minds the idea of journeying to space. As Indian women, she made us believe that it was possible to reach the heights of success. Many of us have dreamed ever since, of becoming an astronaut. Exploring the universe as few have explored it. However, not all of us are born to be astronauts.
This seemingly impossible dream came closer to reality back in 2001. When Dennis Tito, an American businessman, became the first space tourist. After strenuous training and a 20-million dollar deal, Tito launched in a Russian Soyuz to the International Space Station. While most of us can’t afford such a trip, more companies are gradually springing up that offer cheaper space experiences. Like Air travel that started out as a costly affair for many but became accessible to the general masses soon after. We are hoping that space adventures will undergo the same process. Hopefully in our lifetime only. *fingers crossed*
In the present day and age, few companies have already cropped up that offer some form of proximity to the universe beyond earth. While still expensive for many, the prices have already gone down far below 20-ducking-million. Thank Heavens! And humans too. Here is a curated list of few such companies that are planning to start their businesses in the upcoming years. In ascending order of the ticket prices.
Vegitel Aerospace Tours
The company provides a 50-minute ride aboard a MiG-29 Supersonic fighter jet for the price of 19,000 US Dollars (approximately 12 lakh INR). It takes off from Nizhny Novgorod (sounds like a place in the Marvel universe) in Russia. While the jet doesn’t exactly take you to space, it reaches up to an altitude of 23 km above sea level. This is the boundary between earth’s atmosphere and the dark space. Moreover, the jet flies at a speed twice that of sound. This means that passengers need to wear a special suit to maintain their essential, normal blood flow. The jet also performs mid-air aerobatics. Woah. Sounds AMAZING! I would give up buying a car for these 50 minutes any day!
Well, World View seems inspired by Pixar’s Up. The company has designed a capsule that will be attached to a giant helium-filled balloon. The balloon is expected to float up to 31 km above sea level. Providing a mesmerizing view of the earth’s curvature and the endless space. The capsule will also a bar, a washroom as well as support WiFi services. So you can tweet it while you enjoy it. #makethemjealousaf. All this on top of possessing large windows for unobstructed, beautiful views. Expected to launch from World View’s spaceport in Tucson, Arizona, the flights will last for six hours. The tickets are priced at 75,000 USD and are already open for reservation.
About 700 people have already paid the company for their proposed space flights with a whopping ticket price of 250,000 USD. All this while the company is still testing out its exploration extent. The VSS Unity SpaceShipTwo rocket plane with top speed of 4,000 km per hour is slated to make sub-orbital flights in a couple years. The flights are supposed to take off from Spaceport America in New Mexico.
The company under founder Jeff Bezos is planning to start its sub-orbital flights from next year. The take-off will happen from a new facility in Florida. The tickets haven’t been priced yet. However, there is hope that the same will be in affordable range for enthusiasts. Their reusable space capsule can support six passengers at a time. Each flight will be 11 minutes with 4 minutes of pure weightlessness. The capsule is expected to soar to immense heights of 100 km above Earth. Unique to the capsule, it will be built on an automated module. It will be controlled by ground staff with only the six passengers within the capsule. Sounds scary. But it will spare the company the costs of an additional onboard crew. Eventually reducing the ticket cost. So, good for us.
*Saving the best for the last*
SpaceX, headed by Elon Musk (who I believe is the real-life Tony Stark) has been known to drive futuristic innovations. The company has disrupted all major fields in technology and space travel is no stranger. SpaceX’s Dragon Capsule will be the first to offer such deep, commercial space travel. It is expected to skim the moon’s surface, without actually landing on it. In fact, earlier this year, Musk announced that the capsule’s first flight will take place in the next year itself with two anonymous passengers.
The flight will last for a week covering 645,000 km in route. Although the ticket prices have not been officially revealed, it is bound to be a hefty amount. *Maybe this could be my post retirement, ONLY adventure. If I ever manage to earn this much money in this lifetime.* But. It’s not over yet. Musk also announced his plan for Mars commercial travel. The tickets for which are priced at 200,000 USD.
Space travel is and will be my ultimate life goal. While the avalanche has already started, it will take a few years for the prices to drop to the affordable level of people like me. Or. I should just start slaving right away to be able to live this dream. *I got 99 problems and poverty is the biggest one.* For all you space enthusiasts out there, forget about the worldly luxuries and start saving up for an out-of-this world experience. Pun intended. | aerospace |

https://www.eridonia-archives.com/post/rp-uas-atis-mpm-9-kingfisher-short-range-ship-to-ship-missile | 2024-03-04T17:48:19 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476464.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20240304165127-20240304195127-00243.warc.gz | 0.922033 | 876 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__162051732 | en | The need to consolidate a multitude of existing short-range, lightweight space-combat focused missiles carried by strike-craft was recognised during early years of the UAS Federal Navy's operational capacity. Existing designs from the Old Federal era incorporated a variety of different payloads and roles for different craft, increasing the complexity of manufacturing and distribution. The New Federal Era would call for a standardisation of Multi-role guided ordnance that could be easily fitted to the Navy's existing DSF430 Deep Space Fighters in order to address almost any threat that would be expected of the craft in Navy doctrine.
Such uses included being fast and agile enough to be used in a Space-Superiority capacity against other Deep Space Fighters, and carrying a large enough payload to be used in a limited anti-ship capacity against larger vessels, such as Corvettes and Frigates. The UAS Naval R&D department eventually created a universal missile concept that would replace the existing SCM-8A (Space Combat Missile) in use by the UTN Navy in the Old Federal Era for more than 500 cycles prior. The New design was named MPM-9 'Kingfisher' (Multi-Purpose Missile) Series 9.
Drawing from lessons learned of the long-serving S/M/L Launch system using configurable Hornet missiles for larger warships, the Kingfisher is able to be configured with a variety of different payload types and mobility packages in order to suit a specific scenario, but maintains excellent all-purpose capability in the default configuration; allowing Wing Commanders increased flexibility on a limited number of pylons on the fleet's Deep Space Fighters.
The missile is similar in capability to the Hornet-S short-range missile used by the S/M/L launch system but optimised for launch from highly mobile strike-craft launch platforms. Like the Hornet-S, the Kingfisher is equipped with a Multi-Spectrum Active Sensors guidance system incorporating Full-Spectrum visible light Image Recognition, Space-Density Distortion and directed MLADAR/RADAR tracking. The targeting computer can use all of these systems simultaneously in order to guide the projectile to its target, with several layers of redundancy depending on the conditions within the missile is fired.
The mobility package utilised a magnetic thrust-vectoring system that directs the missiles fixed-capacity, single-stage Fission Impulse Nuclear Drive along four lateral zones that actively allows it to change course. This prevents the need for additional gas-propulsion actuators, saving space and weight. The single-stage nuclear drive ignites immediately upon launch, giving the missile excellent acceleration. In order to prevent "burn out" of the launch platform's pylons, the vectoring system diverts fission energy away from the hull for a few seconds during which the missile stabilises from the launch system. During launch, the pylon actively repulses the missile downward with a compressed gas igniter, preventing damage to the craft.
Despite the high speed, Kingfisher has a respectable turning circle due to the magnetic thrust vectoring, and can effective fly side-ways to about 45 degrees to adjust course, giving it excellent target tracking capability.
The Warhead compartment allows for the installation of a variety of different payloads, from Low-yield nuclear impulse, to Space-Burst Fragmentation for use against fighters, to shield-busting electromagnetic discharge payloads. The standard payload for the highest flexibility of the MPM-9 system is a space-burst fragmentation warhead with a shaped charge stage using a limited nuclear fission charge to penetrate armour. The First stage penetrator is triggered on close proximity to the nose-cone or direct contact (hence the stand-off on the missile). Depending on how the missile is configured by the launch platform, the second stage space-burst fragmentation component can be activated after contact or in a much larger radius proximity fuse for use against agile threats that are unviable to achieve a direct hit on.
The MPM-9 has recieved several upgrades during its service since the transition to the Imperial Era in 4404 A.D, resulting in many improvements to range and payload capacity though the basic design has remained relatively consistent, much like the S/M/L system. | aerospace |

https://ipv6.net/news/china-on-its-way-to-becoming-a-formidable-satellite-internet-service-competitor/ | 2020-02-17T12:25:57 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-10/segments/1581875142323.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200217115308-20200217145308-00410.warc.gz | 0.94471 | 1,180 | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-10__0__186002827 | en | By Larry Press
In a study of the Internet in China in the late 1990s, my colleagues and I observed that “China has been able to execute plans effectively by allocating resources to competing, government-owned enterprises,” and Kai-Fu Lee shows that they have pursued a similar strategy with respect to AI. Now they are doing the same with low-Earth orbit (LEO) broadband satellite constellations.
Last December, state-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) launched their first experimental Hongyun (rainbow cloud) Project satellite and a week later China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) launched their first experimental Hongyan (wild goose) Project satellite. (Both CASIC and CASC have Wikipeida pages and their Fortune Global 500 ranks are 322 and 323).
As shown here, Hongyun launched a test satellite in December 2018 and said they planned four more during 2019, but there is no record of those having been launched as of today. They have, however, completed tests of Web browsing, video chat, and high-resolution streaming and said users across China would be able to access the demonstration system. (I assume that refers to test users).
They initially planned to begin operating with 156 satellites by the middle of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), emphasizing service in China’s remote regions. Late last year, they expanded the constellation plan from 156 to 864 satellites orbiting at 1,175 km with an 8 Terabytes per second capacity. They hope to serve 2 million 5G users through direct connections to base stations, 200,000 broadband users and 10 million Internet of things (IoT) users. The focus will be on China and Belt and Road nations.
CASIC has also established two satellite factories in Hubei and Hunan provinces. This may have been necessitated by the increase in the number of planned Hongyun satellites or it may be another application of the strategy of creating competing state-owned enterprises.
CASC’s Hongyan project plans a constellation of around 320 LEO satellites. They have launched one test satellite so far and had hoped to launch eight more by 2020, but did not make that deadline. They expect to have 60 operating satellites “around” 2023 and to be able to provide global coverage with the full constellation by 2025.
As shown in this illustration, they plan to connect buildings, ships, trains, and planes and to provide mobile backhaul and, most interestingly, direct service to mobile phones. He Mu, Hongyan Application Director, promised the development of a “chip [that] can be integrated into the mobile phone so that everyone holding an ordinary mobile phone will have access to seamless satellite telecommunication with global coverage.” That does not sound like a mobile connection to a base station with satellite backhaul, but neither does it sound possible.
Earlier this month a third competitor, GalaxySpace, launched Yinhe-1, which is expected to test Q/V and Ka-band communications at up to 10 Gbps. They refer to Yinhe-1 as a “5G satellite.” I’m not sure what a “5G” satellite is, but note again that the above diagram shows a satellite communicating directly with a mobile phone, as opposed to a mobile tower. Check out this short video on the satellite and launch.
CASIC has four other “five clouds” projects underway in addition to Hongyun: Feiyun, using solar-powered drones, Kuaiyun, using near-space airships (dirigibles?), Tengyun, a project to develop a reusable space plane, and Xingyun, an 80-LEO narrowband IoT constellation using cubsats, the first of which is to be launched soon.
As noted above, Chinese state-owned enterprises often compete with each other, but they also cooperate. For example, CASIC’s Hongun-1 was launched on a CASC rocket. (I wonder how they arrived at the launch price). Will Hongyun and Hongan exchange traffic at shared ground stations? Will their satellites one day intercommunicate in order to optimize a joint constellation with different orbits? Will they intercommunicate with China’s geostationary satellites and other space assets?
It is often argued that government ownership and subsidy are unfair to competitors and lead to a suboptimal allocation of resources. I assume this sort of government-brokered “coordinated competition” is more common in China than in the US, but even here, the lines between government-sponsored research and development, government procurement and industrial subsidy are a bit vague as are the criteria for anti-trust enforcement. People and organizations will learn to game either system, so both must be dynamic.
Hongyun, Hongyan and GalaxySpace are late to the game. OneWeb, SpaceX, and Telesat are beginning to sign up customers and will launch a lot of satellites this year. Amazon is also a late-comer, but they have a lot of money and complementary infrastructure. Like Amazon, China has funds for the long run, domestic infrastructure which can be shared by the three LEO projects, and they are working on reusabillity. Furthermore, they have a political advantage in the “Digital Silk Road” nations of our increasingly divided world and divided Internet. China will be a formidable satellite Internet service competitor.

Recent events are reminiscent of 1960’s race for the moon which was fueled by fierce cold war competition between the governments of Soviet East and Capitalist West.
Commercially motivated Business tycoons of 21st century are now in a cut throat competition for expanding their private corporate empires above and beyond the Planet’s atmospheric frontiers.
PIONEERS OF SPACE TOURISM
Announcements made by owner of Virgin Group Richard Branson, retired CEO of Amazon Jeff Bezos and CEO of Space X Elon Musk about their maiden commercial space tours are trending on tech and science blogs. For clientele with well-lined purses, the promise of literal “out of this world” experience is packaged distinctively for obvious commercial and branding reasons.
Branson’s is offering to take Virgin Galactic’s spacecraft VSS Unity to high altitude by attaching it under the belly of a large carrier plane, where it will be released to reach suborbital space. A group of six space adventurists will be able to experience weightlessness and majestic views of earth’s curvature through 12 large windows for a few minutes before gliding back down to the ground.
As audacious as he is, Branson has planned to join the first group of space adventurists himself. The first commercial space flight of VSS Unity is planned on July 11th, 2021.
In case, you are too accustomed to horizontal thrust, Bezos has just the right adventure ready for you. His Blue Origin’s New Shepard space capsule tied to a space rocket will blast-off vertically with three times the speed of sound until it reaches 100 Km above the mean sea level. Six passengers will be able to experience the space and its beauty through six windows before their capsule glides back down with the help of parachutes.
Much like the now old aviation industry where you get a chance to book the next flight if you miss one. Savvy capitalist Bezos has planned his space flight mere nine days after the Brandon’s i.e. July 20th, 2021.
Competing in this race for space tourism, founder and CEO of Space X Elon Musk is not far behind. Actually, quite the opposite, he is planning for going far beyond. His plans are more venturesome than his competitors in this thriving futuristic industry of space travel.
By the end of this year, Musk has promised to offer for the ones willing to pay and dare a circumlunar tour. Spaceflight participants will leave earths orbital space, enter the lunar orbit and come back to earth after circumventing in the moons orbital space. The whole space flight operation will be pilot free, automated and coordinated from the ground. Participants will experience in peace the awe of space, earth and moon before coming back home on autopilot.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COSTS?
Reading about your fantasies being realized, you may be wondering how much does it costs to have yourself booked for such space flight. How expensive could it be?
They surely are not cheap, you must have already guessed that much. But still, we do like to know the price. For curiosity’s sake take this: Bezos sold ticket for one seat on his Blue Origin suborbital flight in an auction for $28 million US Dollars.
Evidently, space travel is by no means cheap. Is space travel only for billionaires with deep pockets?
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS?
The race between the world powers for achieving superiority over each other in the skies and beyond led to accelerated technological advancement in the aviation industry. Discovery and invention of long range radars for navigation, robust coordination systems, suitable materials and powerful engines are all gifts from that era.
The phrase has already been coined by the famous TV Show host Stephen Colbert “Welcome to a new era of space flight” on a live stream of NBC news.
Era of space travel and exploration has arrived. The contrast from pervious era’s race to the moon is that this time the competition is between the capitalist billionaires not nation-states. The contest is for commercial gains not political. Measure of success is in monetary terms not body count.
With all its positive connotations, the contemporary order of things has made space travel non-egalitarian.
Taking the evolution of aviation industry as reference, it can be assumed that the future holds space travel, exploration and tourism for all humanity.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT?
Which space adventure would you like to embark on, assuming you could afford all in near future, from the three options mentioned in this article? | aerospace |

The strategy, called the airspace flow program, allows airlines to choose between flying longer routes to avoid stormy weather or accepting delays that are aggravating for travelers and costly for the industry. “If your flight isn’t scheduled to fly through bad weather, you don’t have to sit on the tarmac,” FAA Administrator Marion Blakey said in a written statement. “If it is, your airline has the choice of taking a delay … or flying around the storm.” The program was introduced last year in seven high-air-traffic regions in the Northeast, reducing delays due to bad weather by 9 percent, the FAA said. This summer the program will be used in 18 regions, including parts of the South and Midwest. The FAA, which developed the program with input from industry representatives, estimated that the program would save $100 million per year in reduced costs for airlines and the public. Sid McGuirk, associate professor of air-traffic management at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., credited the FAA for its pragmatic approach to maintaining high safety standards, while addressing the complaints of airlines and corporate jets whose owners felt that many flights were being grounded unnecessarily. “In years past, they’ve erred on the side of caution, and the users have been screaming,” McGuirk said. “This is a cautious move toward allowing the users to access the system in a way that doesn’t overload the system and doesn’t create a dangerous situation.” However, a union, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, says a shortage of air traffic controllers will make summer delays inevitable. “You’ve got to have more controllers,” said Doug Church, spokesman for the controllers union, which is seeking to restart stalled negotiations on a new contract. “They’re going to be working tired.” So far this year, Blakey said, U.S. carriers are off to a tough start, with flight delays up by 13 percent between January and April. The FAA’s actions came as the Air Transport Association, the airline industry’s main trade group, forecast that a record number of airline passengers would fly during the Memorial Day holiday weekend and throughout the summer. For a 10-day period around Memorial Day, the association predicts, 21.4 million passengers worldwide will travel on U.S. airlines, up 3.3 percent from last year. Between June and August, the association forecasts, there will be 209 million passengers, up 3 percent from last year. James May, the group’s president, said airlines “are maximizing their efforts to ensure that operations run smoothly for our customers.” 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.

The Rafale fighter aircraft procurement is through an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) which was signed on 23 September 2016 between the Government of India and the Government of the French Republic for the supply of 36 Rafale aircraft
The Rafale aircraft is a current generation multirole aircraft, capable of undertaking all envisaged day & night missions. It is a contemporary fighter aircraft and considered among the most advanced in the world. The Rafale being procured by IAF will also be equipped with advanced Beyond Visual Range Air to Air Meteor missile, short and medium range MICA Air to Air missile and precision guided Air to Ground SCALP missiles, which will enhance the capability of the Air Force and also provide strategic deterrence vis-a-vis our adversaries.
How does the Rafale deal benefit IAF?
Rafale is a very potent weapon platform and provides a credible deterrence. Since, the number of aircraft planned for induction in the near future is relatively less than number of aircraft phasing out, the strength of fighter squadrons in IAF is down to critical levels. Therefore, the Government’s decision to procure 36 Rafale aircraft through Government to Government route thereby expediting the induction of fighters to meet the ‘Critical Operational Necessity’ of fighter aircraft is highly beneficial to the IAF. The decision is based on the need to enhance National Security. The version of Rafale aircraft being supplied to India will have much better operational capabilities than the Rafale aircraft being operated by the French Air Force and other Air Forces.
What is the difference between Rafale procurement by UPA & same by NDA?
The unit cost of aircraft derived from the package cost of 126 MMRCA project processed by UPA and 36 Rafale deal processed by NDA cannot be directly compared as the deliverables are significantly different. The UPA government’s proposal to procure 126 Rafale fighter jets was never finalised hence the price and specifics of the non-deal cannot be compared with the actual deal made by the NDA government for 36 Rafale in flyaway conditions with additional weapons, training and maintenance etc.
The 126 MMRCA procurement included 108 aircraft to be license manufactured in India. Also, the package for Manufacturer Recommended List of Spares, Role Equipment, Simulator and Performance Based Logistics is vastly different in 36 Rafale case and cannot be directly compared. However, the 36 Rafale IGA when compared to the earlier offer is better in terms of pricing, platform capability and delivery. The IGA also has a better maintenance, logistics and training package. The current procurement also includes increased duration for industrial support viz. 50 years as against 40 years in MMRCA, additional warranty for 3 most used aircraft for training, free of charge weapons storage for six months and advanced training of IAF pilots by French Air Force.
Why Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd was sidelined for the manufacturing of Rafale fighter jets in India?
The Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd was not side-lined as it is also a likely contender for offset. The current offsets policy of the Defence Procurement permits the vendors to provide the details of their Indian Offset Partners either at the time of seeking offset credits or one year prior to discharge of offset obligations through their Indian Offset Partners. Thus the OEM M/S Dasault Aviation is free to select an Indian Offset Partners and provide their details at the time of seeking offset credits, or one year prior to discharge of offset obligation. It is learnt that the OEM is exploring opportunities to engage with MSMEs, DRDO, HAL and BEL for fulfilling offsets obligations. In the present procurement only 36 Fully Formed Rafale aircraft are being procured and no Licence Manufacturing is envisaged.
What procedures were followed in procurement? Is it legal?
The procurement of 36 Rafale aircraft through an Inter-Governmental Agreement (IGA) with France was to meet the urgent need of the IAF. The entire agreement between India and France was in full conformity with the Defence Procurement Procedure-2013. The due process of mandating, conducting and monitoring of negotiations and seeking necessary approvals were followed. The approval of Cabinet Committee on Security was obtained before entering into the IGA.
What about the transfer of technology in current Rafale deal?
The Transfer of Technology (ToT) being touted in the 126 aircraft MMRCA project was only for manufacturing under license. The 36 Rafale Offset Contracts includes investments in kind, in terms of ToT to Indian enterprises for the manufacture and/or maintenance of eligible products and provision of eligible services. Various technology acquisition projects with DRDO are presently under discussion.
It may also be noted that contrary to the impression sought, to be created by the Opposition, in the earlier proposal to procure Rafale, which ended in a stalemate, there was no provision for transfer of technology but only to manufacture under licence. The Government was unable to agree on the terms for even that in its negotiations with the vendor, resulting in the long-drawn exercise under the earlier Government ultimately turning futile.
Will the jets be in fly away condition?
Yes, The Joint Indo-French Statement issued on 10 April 2015 stated that in view of the critical operational necessity for Multirole Combat Aircraft for IAF, Government of India would like to acquire 36 Rafale jets in fly-away condition on terms that would be better than conveyed by Dassault Aviation as part of earlier 126 MMRCA process.
Accordingly, a total of 36 Rafale aircraft in flyaway condition are being procured through Inter-Governmental Agreement between the Government of India and France.
Have countries like Qatar and Egypt negotiated better deals than India for Rafale given the price points?
As per the information available in the public domain, the 24 Rafale aircraft package sale to Egypt and Qatar were concluded at a relatively higher cost when compared to the cost of acquisition of 36 Rafale fighters. | aerospace |

There was never a better time to design and build a new flying machine than the spring of 1928 -- or so it must have seemed to those who did. The Air Commerce Act of 1926, through the licensing of pilots and the airworthiness certification of aircraft, had ushered in an era of growing public confidence in aviation. It was also a time for Rae Rearwin, a successful businessman from Salina, Kansas, to cast about for a fresh source of income -- "diversification." And so it was that Rearwin decided to build and sell aircraft. The chronicle of Raymond Andrew Rearwin, the founder of the various firms and aircraft bearing his name, is one typical of the brave businessmen who devoted their energies to, and risked their resources in, aviation enterprise from the historic stock market crash of 1929 through the start of World War II. | aerospace |

This success came after a long period of planning and several launch delays. While there’s still work to be done (the Dragon must successfully return to Earth), it’s a historic event, hopefully marking the beginning of a new era of privately funded space exploration.
Now that the docking process is complete, the astronauts aboard the ISS will open the Dragon’s hatch and unload the supplies the spacecraft is carrying.
After that, they’ll load used equipment into the Dragon, which will return back to Earth approximately two weeks later. The Dragon is scheduled to land in the Pacific, hundreds of miles west of Southern California.
Check out a gallery of photos from the mission tweeted by SpaceX below and our interview with SpaceX’s founder and chief designer Elon Musk here.

They used to talk about the idea that space is a vacuum and that as such there is no friction to slow down an object once it is set in motion. They talked about how a person might control their flight if they were floating in space. The idea was that a person might fire what was then called a retro rocket. A little blast from a small rocket would slow a person down or alter a person’s course while they were floating in space.
It does not seem possible that a thrust from a rocket would alter a person’s flight path at all. It would if there was an atmosphere or a solid body to push against but in open space there is none. Space is a vacuum after all and even the vibrations that would cause sound in an atmosphere or on a solid body cause no sound in space.
The idea of propulsion in space can’t be thought of in terms of propulsion in an atmosphere or on a solid body. Propulsion by means of thrust can’t work in space. The idea of impulsion might work. Those teachers at that little school so long ago used to talk about that possibility as well. They used to talk about the idea of using ionic propulsion as a means of space travel. The person or the craft is not being pushed by thrust but is being pulled by the intake and the exhaust of the ions in space.
A craft could reach some incredible speeds depending on the density of the ions in the region of space. Some areas of space have more densely concentrated ions than other regions do. The idea of movement through space by means of impulsion would also lead to the theory of travel by the folding of space. The idea of folding space is included in the string theory. I don’t believe that folding space would work the way most people might think. | aerospace |

FORT BLISS, Texas – Air Defense Soldiers from across the 32d Army Air and Missile Defense Command recently participated in Roving Sands 22, May 14-23. The exercise spanned multiple training areas of Fort Bliss and is the only event of its kind in the U.S. Army.
The Roving Sands exercise is designed as an opportunity to assess the operational capability and training methods used by air defense artillery brigades and to test their systems in simulated large-scale combat operations.
“Roving Sands is the largest integrated air and missile defense exercise in the continental United States involving nearly 2,000 troops, and we are conducting it as we continue to prepare for large-scale combat operations in the United States. support of our maneuver force,” said Brig. Gen. David F. Stewart, commanding general, 32d AAMDC and exercise director Roving Sands 22. “We had units from across the country, Fort Hood, Fort Sill, Fort Bragg and Fort Campbell, to support this event of center-style combat training that was world-class training for our soldiers.”
The latest iteration of Roving Sands also provided an opportunity to test new procedures and controls in the exercise for the first time.
“We were able to leverage the 1st Armored Division, a maneuver unit, to serve as higher command, which was the first time a maneuver unit replicated a corps-level unit at Roving Sands,” Major said. Andrew Sklar, Training and Exercise Support Officer, 32nd AAMDC. “This allowed the 32nd AAMDC to ensure maneuver forces understood how to realistically use air defense forces to support them on the battlefield. To simulate air defense engagements, we used the Pelorus system and Flight Mission Simulator/Digital to bring simulated theater ballistic missile combat to Patriot aircrews.
On a daily basis, units faced a multitude of warfare scenarios, such as chemical attacks, small arms engagements and mass casualty events, which tested their ability to respond to external stresses while accomplishing their overall air defense mission of defending ground forces from the air. and missile attacks.
“Roving Sands was a very good exercise. It really gave us the opportunity to work in a large-scale combat operations environment,” said Capt. Vincente Trejo, Battery Commander, Charlie Battery, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 31st Air Defense Artillery Brigade, Fort Sill, Okla. “I think my battery will leave here much more competent in our military bases and our air defense skills. It’s a timely event that allows us to come away with better soldiers and a better battery.
According to Lt. Col. Matthew Inglis, Battalion Commander, 5th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 11th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, Fort Bliss, air defense units must employ combat operations tactics on a large scale at Roving Sands they don’t. normally used during operational deployments. “Unlike CENTCOM, where we know exactly where the enemy is, and it is quite static, there is a dynamic and changing threat here that continues to challenge our defensive line and our force protection elements as well,” he said. Inglis said.
Roving Sands also attracted a number of high profile visitors, such as Command Sgt. Maj. Jacinto Garza of U.S. Army Central, Brig. General Curt Taylor of the National Training Center and senior air defense officers from Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
“The thing I was most proud of during this rotation was the visit we had from the National Training Center Commander, Brig. Gen. Curt Taylor,” the command sergeant said. Maj. Jerry Jacobitz, 32d AAMDC senior enlisted advisor.
“He mentioned that he wanted to see more soldiers digging to increase their survivability,” Jacobitz said. “So when he went to see some of our Avenger system operators in the field, who had actually dug into their combat positions, he said, ‘I had to fly up to Fort Bliss, Texas, to see the standard.”

On January 9th the SpaceX company successfully launched another rocket, its first since a major set-back when one of its spaceship exploded last September. The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and deployed ten Iridium satellites.
There is a great resource on the SpaceX site showing a graphic depiction of the Falcon 9 rocket and a break down of its ultimate aims, including manned flight.
Iridium satellites, the name of a commercial group of satellites, are well known to amateur astronomers for the 'Iridium flare' effect, perhaps better known as .satellite flare, and also called satellite glint. This phenomenon is caused by the reflective surfaces on satellites (such as antennas, SAR or solar panels) reflecting sunlight directly onto the Earth below and appearing as a brief, bright "flare". These flashes in the sky are entirely predictable for a given location and can be found in tables on several web sites and apps; I use Heavens-Above.
SpaceX of course is also know for its recoverable first stage which if all goes well lands back to earth on a floating platform. Here is a link to a video of a 2016 landing.
Those of us who were around in 1960s Britain, and perhaps some others who have seen it since, may be reminded uncannily of its predecessor, Fireball XL5. I have sadly to admit I have the box set already. (ed.). | aerospace |

The one who laid the foundations for designing this vehicle was Leonardo Da Vinci in 1486, to be precise.
The greatest artist and inventor in history, he designed a flying machine with revolving wings, thanks to the idea of the propeller; however more water under the bridges, and I would say clouds in the sky above all, were supposed to pass.
Helicopter really means Italianity, even though many abroad claim the paternity. The invention of the helicopter is tricolour! Regarding the world of flight, the inventions of the airplane and helicopter, although coming from a common history, they had parted ways. The study of flight by two wings continued in one way; while the one that provided for the operation of a higher propeller had other tortuous developments.
With some certainty, in this regard, we can say that the first that can be classified as a real helicopter, even if embryonic, dates back to the end of the nineteenth century. The ancestor of our modern helicopters, is undoubtedly the one developed by the Italian engineer Enrico Forlanini in 1877. All the aircraft at the time were delicate, just think that at the beginning the planes were wooden, very unstable and very fragile. The prototype of the engineer Forlanini was a small aircraft with a steam engine weighing about three kilos.
Corradino D’Ascanio and the helicopter
The helicopter of Forlanini managed to rise up to about 13 meters from the ground, but its steam structure did not allow much autonomy or pilot. We will have to wait until 1907 to see a bizarre aircraft equipped with a pilot lift off the ground. That year, Paul Cornu made another prototype with pedals, which operated rotating propellers, but it was almost a toy.
This prototype had no future, in fact, it rose from the ground only about thirty centimeters, and then fell down ruinously. In short, from the time of Forlanini, they were stalling, if not dropping into recession. The only helicopter’s father is Corradino D’Ascanio. The brilliant inventor has gone down in history for having conceived the Vespa, which has had a global success with few precedents. Born in 1891, he dreamt of flying since childhood, and he was attracted by aeronautical science, which was to the very beginning.
Enrolled at the prestigious Royal Institute of Engineering in Turin, he graduated in 1914 and few were able to keep up with his futuristic ideas. Perhaps D’Ascanio was too far ahead of its time. In 1906, after the Wright brothers’ flight, he designed and tested a sort of hang glider and made it fly successfully in the Abruzzo hills. During the war Corradino D’Ascanio installed the first radio on a vehicle and contributed to the modification of dozens of biplanes.
For him the flight was really an obsession. The successes of this visionary inventor have been numerous, but he did not always find an open mind, capable of supporting him. Evidently the time was not yet ripe. D’Ascanio’s “helicopters” to irrigate the fields are also brilliant. They are the ancestors of today’s drones, in which at first no one believed.
Ugo Veniero D’Annunzio
One of the winning strategies of the engineer D’Ascanio was undoubtedly that of opening a company together with Ugo Veniero D’Annunzio; an engineer, son of Gabriele. Thus a small aircraft was born on which the engine of a Harley Davidson was mounted. In those years he built many structures and patented some new inventions. Finally, one day, the first fully functional Italian helicopter took off on the Ciampino airport runway.
It was the D’AT3, designed and built entirely by the genius of Corradino D’Ascanio, and led by Major Marinello Nelli. It was October 8, 1930, and the Italian “flying machine” won the record in flight duration of 8′ 45”; the tenth record of distance with 1,079 meters in a straight line, and the thirteenth in absolute. The event had great prominence in the press, especially that of eighteen meters in height; records that will remain unbeaten for some years. | aerospace |

The event gave the outgoing commander of the ISS, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemiev, the opportunity to discuss the conflict in Ukraine. “Despite the storms on Earth, our international cooperation continues,” he said.
This is the second time in space for Samantha Cristoforetti, a 45-year-old engineer and fighter pilot, who left for the ISS on April 27.
The astronaut is the fifth woman, and the first non-American woman, to take command of the spacecraft since the formal appointment of a commander in 2000.
During an informal and relaxed ceremony, the acting commander symbolically presented him with a golden key for his investiture, which he will assume until October 10, before returning to Earth.
Artemiev praised the work of the team of ten astronauts from three countries, including himself. He described the ISS as “the continuation of the Soyuz-Apollo program, when the relationship between East and West was not easy either”.
Cooperation between Russia and the West in space matters is hampered by the offensive launched by Moscow against its Ukrainian neighbor on 24 February.
Western sanctions imposed on Russia following this offensive partly affect the Russian aerospace industry and could have an impact on the ISS, some of whose supplies could be disrupted.
For her part, Samantha Cristoforetti praised the work of her teammates, noting that they all form “a small part of the gigantic team on the ground” which manages the operations of the ISS.

I was only seventeen and had only held my private pilot's license for several months. A friend and I decided to fly from Baton Rouge to check out the UT Austin campus as we were getting our undergraduate applications in order - what better way to build some flight time and satisfy a teenage wanderlust. I was comfortable with using the VORs, so as we droned our way to Austin, I wasn't overly concerned about the lack of roads or other obvious ground features to follow. I failed to notice the warning flag come in as the signal started to fade and I lazily followed the CDI needle as it drifted off to one side. After a few minutes it occurred to me that I was flying East rather than West and the adreline began to flow as I realized there were no obvious ground features for pilotage. After a couple of anxious minutes, I decided to circle higher and as we gained altitude, we regained line of sight to the VOR station and the warning flag went out. Shortly after, I was able to raise Austin and get radar service into the airport.
By the standards of "there I was stories", this was a pretty harmless episode, but it thought me much as I embarked on a career as a flight instructor and it was the first and last time I was lost in an airplane. Today, I am the curator for the aviation sections of the Time and Navigation exhibit. I have come to truly appreciate how much those black boxes - whether VOR or GPS - have made it possible to cross featureless landscapes. The long distance fliers of 1927 did not have the luxury of VORs or radar, and the few minutes of panic I had with good weather and a reasonable fuel reserve were but a drop in the bucket compared to the anxiety that those intrepid aviators experienced during much of their flights. The sheer terror of getting vertigo in instrument conditions or a misfiring engine while while offshore will fortunately not be known by most people,but it was a routine experience for those who pushed the boundaries of navigation eighty-five years ago. This exhibit is in part a tip of of the hat to bravery that should not be forgotten. | aerospace |

Air flight aviation prints created by artist Charles H. Hubbell for Thompson Products, Inc., a manufacturer of automotive and aircraft parts in Cleveland, Ohio.
Charles H. Hubbell was one of the most renowned commercial aviation artists in US history, with more than 500 paintings in his body of work. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he entered the Naval Air Service during World War I. While stationed in Buffalo, New York, he redesigned airplanes at the Curtiss airplane factory. After the war he returned to Cleveland and graduated from the Cleveland School of Art, and he received a pilot's license in 1927. In 1934, Hubbell was commissioned by Fred Crawford, the chairman of Thompson Products, to paint past winners of the Thompson Trophy Air Race. This was the beginning of a long career as Thompson's free-lance artist, for whom he produced an annual illustrated calendar from 1937 to 1972.

We are the official partner for Switzerland of: ROBIRD, AVES, AVES Falken Bird of Clear Flight Solution (NL) new: The Drone Bird Company
Crow scaring in Kaiseraugst AG
The Robird is a robotic drone with wing flapping propulsion. It is mainly used at airports, landfills, ports and in the agricultural sector to sustainably reduce bird pressure.
In August 2019, the world’s first trial to actively scare away crows using Robird began. Eagle Eye® Solutions was the first company in the world to use Robird with great success in the sustainable deterrence of ravens and rooks. In August 2020 (video) the bird pressure was reduced by more than 85%.
Fixed Wing Falcon / Flapping Wing Falcon
The new generation of falcons is ready. After long research and new developments, a new generation of falcons has emerged.
AVES Falcon Bird
The AVES Falcon Bird is a further development of the Robird. However, it no longer flies with wing flapping propulsion, but is a fixed-wing aircraft with a propeller in its mouth. The precise and high speed together with a micro camera in the belly enables the direct attack of the crows in the tree tops. The AVES Falcon Bird is more efficient than its predecessor.
The AVES Falcon Bird should be in use from summer 2021. This drone will then also be available for purchase.
(Pictures and videos to follow)
The Flapping Falcon can now only be booked as part of a service lease.
The Aves Series
The AVES Series is an exciting new addition to The Drone Bird Company flock. This drone bird is realistic, covert, light-weight, and unobtrusive. Clients can choose from a range of models that best suit their needs. The subtlety and long-range capability of the AVES Series allows for a reliable way to monitor even the most challenging of environments.
This stealthy drone bird is primarily for surveillance and reconnaissance. It is a fixed-wing unit with various uses, such as border control and observation. Typical customers include the defence industry, police, safeguards, and kingdoms.
The AVES Series has a range of applications for multiple purposes. It offers classical ISR with tactical observation, mapping, and charting; infrastructure control with critical monitoring; search and rescue with thermal and visible light-based search and coordinate estimation; and surveying and remote sensing with orthomosaic, photogrammetry, mapping, and survey.
SPECIFICATIONS OF THE LARUS
Although multiple designs are available, the Larus seagull design is the most requested AVES Series model by clients. This is because the seagull design is popular, with the actual birds present on every continent.
ORDER AN AVES SERIES DRONE BIRD
All of our drone birds can be made to order, so to purchase units requires prior consultation. This is because we value our clients’ needs and personalize each order. To inquire about an AVES Series or other drone bird, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.org. | aerospace |

Eclipse Global Connectivity partners with Thales to equip French Defense's Airbus MRTT aircraft with a secure SATCOM solution.
PARIS • 17 March 2022
Eclipse Global Connectivity (Eclipse) is partnering with Thales on a 17-year contract to develop and provide a SATCOM solution for French Defense Airbus MRTT aircraft. The project is part of the French Government’s program called Marché d’Elaboration d’Intégration et de soutien des Stations Satcom Aéronautiques (MELISSA).
Based on existing technologies already used in the commercial aviation market, the solution, planned for delivery in early 2027, offers:
• High-bandwidth connectivity on military and civilian Ka-band networks (up to 50 Mbps)
• Persistent, highly reliable connection to maintain connectivity in signal-jammed environments and severely degraded weather and flight conditions.
• Flexibility to ensure compatibility with France’s SYRACUSE IV Sovereign satellite system, along with allied military and commercial satellites; and
• Military-grade security for high-level protection against cyber threats.
Eclipse will be responsible for designing and manufacturing the Inmarsat antenna baseplate, certifying the antenna, and the provisioning the Ka-band modem.
Eclipse Technics, the company’s Design and Production (DOA / POA) division is fundamental to the project, having 20 plus years of aircraft modification experience.
« Thanks to the synergy between Eclipse, Thales and our partners, the French Armed Forces will gain a secure, customized, ultra-high-performance connectivity solution to address their unique operational needs and goals, » explained Marc Pinault, CEO of Eclipse. « This is an incredibly gratifying long-term project for us and a testament to our lengthy history providing superior SATCOM solutions to defense aircraft operators. » | aerospace |

F-35 engine problems are affecting the hardest on the version that is used for the Air Force, which has the largest fleet of F-35s. (REUTERS)
Engine shortages are reducing the efficiency of the F-35 which is the most expensive weapons program as per congressional auditors. Since the beginning of the year 2020 the amount of fighter jets “have not been able to fly due to the lack of an operating engine,” the U.S. Government Accountability Office stated in prepared testimony on Thursday to a House Armed Services subcommittee. The most severe problem is with the model used for the Air Force, which has the largest number of F-35s.
The engines manufactured by Raytheon Technologies Corp.’s Pratt & Whitney unit aren’t breaking down more frequently than anticipated, however, the process of replacing or fixing them in the event of failure takes longer than anticipated. The reason is that breakdowns typically require the power module which takes a lot of time as well as GAO has stated that the Pentagon isn’t able to provide enough depot maintenance capacity when increasing the amount of F-35s in the fleet has increased.
Expressing displeasure over anger over the F-35 engine Rep. John Garamendi, the subcommittee’s chairman, announced that he would make an appointment with Pratt & Whitney representatives to give testimony. “Watch out, I’m coming after you,” the California Democrat declared.
The GAO evaluated it as F-35 levels of readiness for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps have improved since the beginning of 2019, but they are still below the goals of the program. The aircraft can fly and carry out all its missions 39 percent of the time during 2020 before falling to 38% by the fiscal year 2021. It’s far below the targets of 72 percent in those in the Air Force and 75% for the Navy and Marine models.
Defense Department officials said “they recognized that they have not had adequate depot capacity to repair the power module and do not have sufficient capacity to meet the demand of future unscheduled and scheduled engine repairs,” the GAO declared.
The issue of engine repair and the ramifications it has for readiness, provide an example of how the Pentagon has a difficult time reducing the estimated $1.3 trillion expense to operate and maintain the aircraft manufactured through Lockheed Martin Corp. over an estimated 66-year lifespan. This is separate from the problems with the $398 billion program to design and construct the fighter. As of now 788 of these planes are in the hands of the U.S. military and customers overseas. | aerospace |

These provide crewed, deep space capability for Moon and Mars missions, without the need for solar or chemical propulsion.* With an expanded budget and improved technology, China has taken the lead in many areas of space.
2040-2045 China's space program is rivalling NASA During the late 2010s, China revealed a number of long-term plans to significantly expand its national space program.
The country was already making progress towards a new space station, but had even greater ambitions for the decades ahead.
2040 India's economy is rivalling that of China and the U. By 2040, rapid economic growth has enabled India to catch up with China and the U. These three countries – the G3 – now have by far the largest share of world GDP.** India has benefitted from a number of cultural, economic and demographic trends in recent decades.* This includes a youthful, growing and economically productive population,* now the world's largest at 1.6 billion,* with an average age of just 34.
By comparison, China's average age is 46 and its working population has been declining.* Expansion and development of India's service sector – adding greatly to the global knowledge-based economy – has occurred in parallel with a slowdown in China's growth rate as its economy matures.
Due to its global influence and military capabilities, India has also gained a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
Later this decade, on 15th August 2047, the nation will celebrate its 100th anniversary as an independent state.* However, climate change and other ecological impacts are converging with increasing speed.
However, entirely new capabilities have also emerged – space resource utilisation through asteroid mining, for example, and the construction of space-based megaprojects, such as orbital solar power stations.
China is also among a group of countries now making the first serious attempts to develop a space elevator, though it will be some time before this is fully built and operational; not just because of technical challenges, but in part due to safety and insurance considerations and the international laws required.
This space plane, with a scheduled first launch date of 2025, would allow China to begin offering space tourism and a rival to the likes of Virgin Galactic.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating | aerospace |

https://o5g.cz/2021/10/29/vice-chairman-of-joint-chiefs-of-staff-warns-china-has-done-hundreds-of-hypersonic-missile-tests/ | 2022-08-11T02:50:03 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571232.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811012302-20220811042302-00064.warc.gz | 0.955249 | 1,638 | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-33__0__210679868 | en | The public should be worried that China has completed hundreds of hypersonic missile tests while the US has done less than 10, says the nation’s second-highest ranking military officer, echoing previous concerns by top military brass.
Speaking at a Defense Writers Group roundtable, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John Hyten said China’s hypersonic missile advancements is an area of concern.
‘What you need to be worried about is that in the last five years, or maybe longer, the United States has done nine hypersonic missile tests, and in the same time the Chinese have done hundreds,’ Hyten said, according to reports.
‘Single digits versus hundreds is not a good place.’
He did not elaborate on his concerns.

It was revealed last week that a rocket failure caused a delay in the US military’s test of its hypersonic weapons system.
The military scheduled a test of its Army-Navy common hypersonic glide body in Kodiak, Alaska but it failed to launch, ABC News reported.
Meanwhile, China conducted a second test of a suspected hypersonic orbital missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, intelligence sources have claimed.
The new test is believed to have taken place on August 13 and involved a similar ‘hypersonic glide vehicle’ to one launched into space on board a Long March rocket in July, which was first reported earlier this week.
The new technology is reported to have caught US officials off guard, particularly as the system ‘defies the laws of physics’ and appears superior to anything in the American arsenal.
Hyten said the pace in which China is moving was ‘stunning.’
Joint Chiefs of Staff General vice chairman John Hyten said the public should be worried that China has completed hundreds of hypersonic missile tests while the US has done 9
China is thought to have carried out two tests of a hypersonic orbital nuke – the first on July 27 and the second on August 13 this year. Observers believe the ‘weapon’ is an updated version of a Soviet concept called a ‘Fractional Orbital Bombardment System’, or FOBS. It is designed to evade powerful US radar systems and anti-missile defences designed to shoot down traditional ICBMs by flying in low-Earth orbit, making it harder to spot, track and destroy
‘The pace they’re moving and the trajectory they’re on will surpass Russia and the United States if we don’t do something to change it,’ he said. ‘It will happen.
The two types of hypersonic weapons:
Hypersonic glide vehicles
A hypersonic glide vehicle is boosted aloft on a rocket to heights of between 25 miles to 62 miles above the earth before detaching to glide along the upper atmosphere towards its target.
It is released at a height and speed that would allow it to glide unpowered to the target.
Control surfaces on the glide vehicle mean it can steer an unpredictable course and maneuver sharply as it approaches impact.
These glide vehicles follow a much flatter and lower trajectory than the high, arching path of a ballistic missile.
Hypersonic cruise missiles
These missiles are powered by high-speed, air-breathing engines after acquiring their target.
While they have internal engines, unlike regular cruise missiles, they travel far faster and higher.
‘I think we have to do something.’
Hyten’s concerns echoed those expressed earlier this week by Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff.
Milley called China’s suspected testing of hypersonic weapons ‘very concerning’ during an interview with The David Rubenstein Show on Bloomberg Television.
‘I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that,’ he added, referencing when the Soviet Union beat America to space in 1957 with its Sputnik satellite. ‘It has all of our attention.’
Milley also warned that the new missile systems are just one of many things the U.S. should be concerned about as the Chinese military expands.
‘The Chinese military capabilities are much greater than that. They’re expanding rapidly in space, in cyber, and in the traditional domains of land, sea and air,’ he told Bloomberg. ‘We’re in one of the most significant changes in what I call the “character of war.“’
The technology is designed to cut off enemy supply lines in the event of a conflict, the state-owned Global Times newspaper reported, adding that sneak attacks using underwater charges will make large vessels like American aircraft carriers vulnerable.
Underwater demolitions are a response to changing U.S. tactics in the Pacific, it added, claiming that Washington is dividing its forces between smaller locations instead of concentrating them in one place to mitigate the damage from attacks.
This tactic increases the strain on logistics operations required to keep large vessels such as aircraft carriers afloat, the Times said, making attacks on infrastructure such as ports and wharfs more important.
‘With ports destroyed, enemy logistics support will fail and a dispersed fighting force… will also fail,’ an unnamed military expert told the paper.
ABC News cited a US official who said that a booster rocket with a hypersonic glide body attached failed to launch during a launch test at Kodiak, Alaska. The image above shows a March 19, 2020 test of the joint Army-Navy common hypersonic glide body that is being developed for launch from both land and submarine
It is just the latest move in a global arms race between Russia, China and the US which is taking place against the backdrop of mounting tensions between the superpowers in the eastern Pacific.
All three countries are engaged in wholesale updates of their militaries including the development of new nuclear technology with which they can strike each-other at range.
Russia and China have, in recent years, unveiled new and more-powerful ICBMs which are capable of launching multiple nuclear warheads at targets many thousands of miles away.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff described China’s alleged testing of hypersonic weapons as ‘very concerning’
China, the US and Russia are engaged in a global arms race that now includes the development of hypersonic missile technology. Here, the MailOnline has compared (from left) each country’s main nuclear weapon, the latest hypersonic technology they have tested, their most up-to-date aircraft carriers, main battle tanks, and cutting-edge jets
The United States, Russia and at least five other countries are also working on hypersonic technology, and last month North Korea said it had test-fired a newly-developed hypersonic missile.
Russia has previously tested a hypersonic cruise missile known as Zircon, but it flies below the atmosphere and uses fuel to power itself to hypersonic speeds rather than the Earth’s orbit.
The Pentagon did not comment on China’s testing of the hypersonic missile, but did acknowledge China as their ‘number one pacing challenge’.
‘We have made clear our concerns about the military capabilities China continues to pursue, capabilities that only increase tensions in the region and beyond,’ John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, told Fox News. ‘That is one reason why we hold China as our number one pacing challenge.’ | aerospace |

According to some estimates, this number is expected to reach as high as 100,000 by the end of this decade, including telecommunication, internet, research, navigation, and Earth Observation satellites. As part of the “commercialization” of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) anticipated in this century, the presence of so many satellites will create new opportunities (as well as hazards).
The presence of these satellites will require a great deal of mitigation (to prevent collisions), servicing, and maintenance. For example, the San Francisco-based startup Orbit Fab is working to create all the necessary technology for orbital refueling services for satellites. To help realize this goal, industry giant Lockheed Martin recently announced that they are investing in Orbit Fab’s “Gas Stations in Space™” refueling technology.
A team at Purdue University developed a drag sail to attach to satellites to help them de-orbit to combat space debris. Unfortunately, the rocket carrying the test device, launched by Firefly Aerospace, exploded shortly after launch.
Sometimes simple and elegant solutions are all that is needed to solve a problem. One problem that was searching for a solution was how to track microplastics. These small particles of plastics are what results after the sun and friction (such as ocean waves) break down larger plastic objects. They have become a huge problem in the ocean, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and their constituent organisms. Now, a team from the University of Michigan have used data originally collected to monitor hurricanes to try to track microplastics, potentially helping to reign in a problem that threatens to engulf the world’s oceans.
According to the latest numbers from the ESA’s Space Debris Office (SDO), there are roughly 6,900 artificial satellites in orbit. The situation is going to become exponentially crowded in the coming years, thanks to the many telecommunications, internet, and small satellites that are expected to be launched. This creates all kinds of worries for collision risks and space debris, not to mention environmental concerns.
For this reason, engineers, designers, and satellite manufacturers are looking for ways to redesign their satellites. Enter Max Justice, a cybersecurity expert, former Marine, and “Cyber Farmer” who spent many years working in the space industry. Currently, he is working towards a new type of satellite that is made out of mycelium fibers. This tough, heat-resistant, and environmentally friendly material could trigger a revolution in the booming satellite industry.
Two companies, OneWeb and SpaceX, are racing to put fleets of thousands of communication satellites into orbit. In March they had their first near-miss. Avoidance maneuvers were successful, but how many more close calls will they face in the future?
New research has found that as the number of satellites in Earth orbit continues to increase, their accumulated light pollution will brighten the night sky – making it much harder to do fundamental astronomy.
You can spot ‘GEOSat’ satellites in far-flung orbits… if you know exactly where and when to look.
Watch the sky long enough, and you’re bound to see one.
Seasoned observers are very familiar with seeing satellites in low Earth orbit, as these modern artificial sky apparitions lit by sunlight grace the dawn or dusk sky. Occasionally, you might even see a flare from a passing satellite, as a reflective solar panel catches the last rays of sunlight passing overhead just right…
Researchers looking through archival data found evidence of a previously unobserved phenomenon — a giant swirling mass of plasma above Earth’s northern polar region. The “space hurricane,” as the science team calls it, churned for hours, raining down electrons instead of water.
“You can’t hit what you can’t see” is a common phrase in sports and was originally derived to describe baseball pitcher Walter Johnson’s fastball. But the same goes for things with a more serious spin, such as some of the millions of pieces of debris floating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Now, a team of researchers have come up with a new imaging system that will allow agencies and governments to closely track some of the debris that is cluttering LEO and potentially endangering humanity’s future expansion to the stars.
If the Roman Empire had been able to launch a satellite in a relatively high Low Earth Orbit – say about 1,200 km (750 miles) in altitude – only now would that satellite be close to falling back to Earth. And if the dinosaurs had launched a satellite into the furthest geostationary orbit – 36,000 km (23,000 miles) or higher — it might still be up there today. | aerospace |

How can you fly anywhere without it? Even planes use sophisticated aviation technology to take us from one destination to another, what more to take people to space. Ever since man landed on the moon, we haven’t really achieved much when it comes to space exploration. Things have pretty much stagnated, to say the least. It’s probably why news about sending supercomputers to Mars is exciting everyone right now because it may be the breakthrough we have all been waiting for over the years.
It is not at all impossible for us to develop computers just for this purpose when consumer tech goods are actually pretty advanced these days. Many experts are hard at work in developing this supercomputer that will soon set foot in Mars to ensure the comfort and safety of astronauts sent to explore the red planet. Supercomputers are needed in space to speed up research that is slowly inching its way at a snail’s pace. Although we are not new to Mars, it is undeniably farther than the moon and the environment may be a bit more hostile too. Hence, distance has a lot to do with how well gadgets work out there.
A mission to Mars requires sophisticated computing capabilities to cut down on communication latencies and ensure astronauts’ survival. To advance this mission, HPE and NASA launched a supercomputer into space on the SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft.
This supercomputer, called the Spaceborne Computer, is part of a year-long experiment conducted by HPE and NASA to run a high performance commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer system in space, which has never been done before. The goal is for the system to operate seamlessly in the harsh conditions of space for one year – roughly the amount of time it will take to travel to Mars.
Many things have changed and improved ever since man first went out to space. These achievements encouraged scientists to push the technology even further and the very same thing may also happen if this mission to Mars proves to be successful. It can propel space exploration even further and be instrumental for us to achieve even more in the future.
NASA and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) are sending a supercomputer into space.
The not-so-shrewdly named Spaceborne Computer, scheduled for launch today from Kennedy Space Center, is part of a year-long experiment.
The high-performance commercial machine will, fingers crossed, operate seamlessly in the “harsh conditions” of the cosmos.
In space, where no one can hear you scream, limited computing capabilities are sufficient for a visit to the moon or hanging out in low Earth orbit. But travel a bit further into the ether—to Mars, for instance—and it becomes much more difficult to keep in touch: It could take up to 20 minutes for someone on the Red Planet to contact Earth, and another 20 minutes to receive a response.
“Such a long communication lag would make any on-the-ground exploration challenging and potentially dangerous if astronauts are met with any mission critical scenarios that they’re not able to solve themselves,” Alain Andreoli, senior vice president and general manager of HPE’s Data Center Infrastructure Group, wrote in a blog post.
Upgrading the computers used in space is the only way to further the exploration of space especially that conditions aren’t always great. This partnership between Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and NASA promises better computing performance that will not only help astronauts work more efficiently in the vast realms of outer space but allow experts on the ground to monitor their work and maintain regular communication with the team. Space experts and both those from HPE are hopeful that through this, advance computing will be made possible in space and pave the way for other discoveries and advancements to be made sooner rather than later. | aerospace |

How to win one of four satellite network packages in Thailand
Space industry covers business activities related to the manufacturing of components that go into Earth’s orbit or beyond. It covers the full range of activities and resources that create and provide value and benefits in the course of exploring, understanding, managing, and utilizing space. The main sectors are satellite and their subsystems manufacture, including satellite environment testing, ground equipment manufacturing, and service sector, as well as rocket-launch services, vehicle manufacturing, and subsystem manufacturing.
New Thai legislation: The NBTC Act has been enforced at the end of 2019 and provides a more solid basis for satellite businesses in Thailand. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission acts as the sole agency governing all related satellite businesses. It took this over from the Digital Economy and Society Ministry, which managed a cumbersome concession regime for more than three decades. The new liberalized system promises attractive business opportunities even for foreign investors.
Licenses instead of concessions: Under the new NBTC framework, private satellite investments need a licensing for (i) the sky operation, (ii) landing rights, (iii) the orbital slot space and (iv) the ground segment business. as transmission antennas and equipment for converting signals to an internet protocol signal for terrestrial connectivity. The provided orbital slot space is reserved by the NBTC from the International Telecommunication Union. The ITU, formerly International Telegraph Union is the oldest global international organization and a specialized agency of the United Nations that is responsible for issues that concern information and communication technologies.
Four packages in 2021: In June 2020, the NBTC has allotted four packages of satellite network filings subject to allocation for interested bidders early next year. The bidder will be selected either by a so-called beauty contest or by holding an auction. The procedure will be decided by NBTC in 2020, based on a public hearing to be scheduled for July 2020. The first package consists of 50.5 E and 51 E and the second concerns 78.5 E. The third involves 119.5 E and 120 E and the fourth is for 126 E and 142 E. The orbital slots in first and fourth packages are currently unoccupied.
Low Earth Orbit satellite business: LEO satellites operate between 500- 2,000 km above the Earth’s surface compared to the 36,000 km height of geostationary satellites. LEO business is opened up by an amendment to the Space Affairs Act. The advantage of the lower orbit is lower latency. Areas of application are drone technology and areas that require high levels of accuracy, such as remote surgery,
Thailand’s NASA: Thailand’s Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, is a Thai space agency and space research organization. It is responsible for remote sensing and technology development satellites. GISTDA operates the satellites Cosmo-SkyMed, KOMPSAT, LANDSAT-5, RADARSAT-2, and Thaichote. Another stakeholder in Thailand’s satellite business is the National Science and Technology Development Agency. NSTDA is a government agency established to promote the development of science and technology for Thailand. It operates autonomously with guidance and support of policies set by the National Science and Technology Development Board.
“Orbital slots will be rented out on a first-come, first-served basis”
PUGNATORIUS Ltd. is the Bangkok-based specialist provider of legal services and tax advice on foreign investments in Thailand’s manufacturing and service industries as well as property acquisitions and developments. Sophisticated solutions in a complex legal environment. Serious legal and tax advice in the land of smile.
Professional services: The liberalization of competition in the satellite business creates opportunities for foreign satellite companies in space as well as the ground segment. To develop Thai satellites, to bring foreign satellites and payload into space, to use foreign satellite channels in Thailand, to develop and launch space missions are just a few of new business opportunities. The law firm is pleased to discuss new ideas and ventures and to offer efficient support.
Bidding process: The law firm advises, assists, and represents international bidders in the public hearing, the auction or the beauty contest to obtain one of the license packages from the NBTC.

The idea of waves traveling from space to a receiver on the ground has provided us with cheesy horror movies, conspiracy theories, and a lot of great television programming. Luckily, innovations accompanied our flights of fancy. Today, both the satellite and the dish or receiver that communicates with it are major drivers of communication and commerce around the world.
Satellites first became relevant in the popular culture as a way of broadcasting television. The process of actually installing the dish hasn’t changed much in twenty years, but the receivers certainly have. From HD television to TiVo to On Demand, people expect a lot more from their satellite cable provider today than they used to.
For a technician that means understanding more than just how to reset the receiver. There are thousands of satellites in orbit, but only three or four for each television provider. Technicians need to know where to point the dish, how to angle it, and use specialized equipment to measure the strength of the signal and ensure maximum service.
While satellite television maintenance can be taught with relative ease, satellite internet is a completely different animal. Installing those dishes is a delicate process, and the slightest misstep can cause you to have to start over completely. The dish picks up signal using two tubes inside its shell, and if those tubes come into contact, it causes serious problems.
Internet providers like HughesNet and Wild Blue offer certifications in satellite internet installation which bring any tech up to speed, though it’s not a quick learning curve. When Diverse Net looks for satellite technicians, those certifications let us know a tech is qualified to handle satellite internet deployments and troubleshooting that might be too challenging for others.

Research and Electricity
Today’s students and hobbyists are able to design and launch their own small satellites into the lower atmosphere for a surprisingly low cost, as little as $3000. As satellites become something everyone can use for their own personal study of Earth, the technicians to keep them working (or shut them down) will be critical. Other conversations about the future of satellites have included installing solar panels on them to generate energy, which would be beamed down to Earth by microwaves or lasers.
Clearly, satellites will be important to the future of humanity—for entertainment, for communication, for defense, and even perhaps for generating electricity. Companies who deal in the engineering, manufacture, and deployment of these technologies need expert they can rely on. DiverseNet exists to find those excellent technicians and bring them to the companies which need them.

The FAA reports it has returned to its tower cab at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This is the top level of the tower and allowed the opening of the airport’s second runway. The move is part of continuing recovery from historic rainfall and flooding on October 30, 2015 which damaged FAA facilities in Austin, causing flight delays and cancellations. Travelers are advised to check their flight status with their airline.
For more information on FAA operational status see FAA statement below.
The below has been issued by FAA on November 4, 2015 at 6:42 a.m.
The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the Austin air traffic control tower Tuesday night after making initial repairs to damage from last week’s flood. The move to the permanent tower cleared the way for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to reopen its remaining runway.
While this move should greatly increase the airport’s capacity, the radar room in the tower’s base building will remain out of service for several weeks while crews repair extensive damage caused by more than a foot of water that invaded the facility.
The FAA is completing tests of temporary equipment that should allow us to transfer radar services to the San Antonio radar approach control. In the interim, controllers in our Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center continue to provide flight separation services.
Due to limitations in the Houston Center’s radar coverage of the Austin metro area, the agency must meter the volume of flights for safety reasons.

MIT postdoctoral student Valentina Sumini, who has led the interdisciplinary team effort, says they’re now working on a scale prototype of the dome structure. The Frontier program was conceived in the private sector, largely through Elon Musk and SpaceX, with the goal of human colonization of Mars. While we could explore ways to use crevasses and other features of Mars’s topography to our advantage, too, the linchpin of life on the Red Planet will always be technology.

Though Jamestown was a messy failure, it was still founded in Virginia, a relatively benign environment compared to Mars. However, with the discovery of Venus's extremely hostile surface environment, attention has largely shifted towards the colonization of the Moon and Mars instead, with proposals for Venus focused on colonies floating in the upper-middle atmosphere and on terraforming. In spite of lofty dreams, settling Mars will likely take thousands of years. “The sense of exploration is innate. A common argument in favor of colonizing Mars is that it’ll allow us to begin the process of transforming the planet to a habitable state. It could also help turbo-charge a mission to Mars. ,” he said. “It will be just like when the railroads opened up the West in the United States, or the Tall Ships opened up the New World for the Europeans.”. “It’s important to get a self-sustaining base on Mars because it’s far enough away from Earth that [in the event of a war] it’s more likely to survive than a moon base,” Such high-velocity particles It’s basically a space station on steroids—a commercial entity (replete with luxury hotel rooms) that would allow different space-based companies to exchange products and services.

https://thepress.purdue.edu/blog/2022/04/12/the-sky-above-a-qa-with-astronaut-john-casper/ | 2022-11-27T01:43:40 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-49/segments/1669446710155.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20221127005113-20221127035113-00730.warc.gz | 0.952532 | 1,525 | CC-MAIN-2022-49 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2022-49__0__33443492 | en | In this interview, we talk with author, Purdue alumnus, and astronaut Colonel John H. Casper, (USAF, Ret.) about his forthcoming autobiography, The Sky Above: An Astronaut’s Memoir of Adventure, Persistence, and Faith.
Q: Could you give a brief description of your book?
The Sky Above tells how persistence and determination led me to fly in space, after serving the nation as a combat fighter pilot and test pilot. Despite life-threatening experiences and failures, my spiritual faith was pivotal in overcoming life’s challenges.
Throughout flying stories told in “pilot lingo,” I invite the reader to ride alongside me in the cockpit, feeling the fear of enemy antiaircraft fire and the squeeze of high g-forces during combat maneuvering in jet fighters. I describe exhilarating Space Shuttle launches, the magical experience of weightlessness, and the magnificent beauty of Earth from hundreds of miles above.
Q: What is the goal of your book? What motivated you to write it?
The goal of my book is to tell readers my life story, which is a true adventure of overcoming adversity through dedication, perseverance, passion, and enduring faith to make a lifelong dream and vision a reality. I hope those trying to reach their dreams, whatever they are, will find inspiration; those unsure or challenged in their faith, encouragement.
Q: Military Service is a tradition in your family. You describe a “service before self” family mentality toward your dad’s service as a pilot. Was this mentality impacted by your family’s faith? Conversely, do you think this mentality affected the way you view(ed) and practice(ed) your faith?
Yes, I believe there is a link between my faith and military service, because both ask a person to “serve” something greater than oneself. Christian faith asks you to love God with all your mind, body, and spirit, and to love your neighbor—those around you—as you love yourself. Those in military or government service are serving our country by defending and upholding our foundational values and traditions. Both faith and the military emphasize the idea of serving others, rather than self-centeredness.
While growing up, I watched my grandparents and parents help others as an extension of their faith, and I witnessed their service to our country in both peace and wartime. They didn’t brag about it; they were merely helping those in need or helping our country defeat those who would destroy our way of life. I’m grateful for the strong example they set for me.
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring astronauts?
My advice to anyone with a dream or vision is to work hard and not be discouraged if you don’t succeed the first time. For most of us, following our passion or dream takes determined, persistent effort over a period of time to reach the goal.
Those who want to be astronauts will need to study hard and perform well in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. NASA also selects a small number of medical doctors in each incoming group. It’s best that you study subjects and work in career areas that interest you or that you have a passion for. Then, if you don’t become an astronaut, you’ll be working in a career field you enjoy.
Q: Do you have any thoughts on what the future of NASA and American space missions might look like? What would you most like to see explored? What challenges do you think NASA and aspiring astronauts will face along the way?
Future missions to the International Space Station, or ISS, will continue as humankind learns how to live and work in space. ISS is a microgravity laboratory with a multi-nation crew (15 nations cooperate) orbiting Earth at 250 miles altitude. The space vehicle weighs nearly one million pounds, has been continuously crewed since 2000, and has conducted over 3000 experiments and technology demonstrations. Because ISS is also valuable as a primary testbed for future deep-space exploration to the Moon and Mars, NASA plans to operate it at least until 2031.
Artemis is NASA’s Moon landing program to learn how to live on other worlds. This time, the goal is to stay by establishing a true outpost on the lunar surface. The first Artemis mission will fly no earlier than June 2022, using the new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. The mission will be un-crewed to test the rocket and crew vehicle on a 3-week voyage beyond the Moon and back to Earth. Artemis 2 is planned about a year later with a crew of four NASA astronauts on a similar 21-day mission to check out the human support systems in deep space. A lunar-orbiting habitat called Gateway is being built to sustain our ability to explore the lunar surface.
The next step is Mars: NASA’s goal is to land humans on Mars before the end of this century. The commercial company SpaceX also plans to fly humans to Mars. A human mission to Mars is hard because Mars is much, much farther away than the Moon—Mars is 35 to 250 million miles distant from Earth, depending on the two planets’ orbital positions. At their closest point, a trip to Mars takes about nine months with current rocket technology. A round trip could theoretically be completed in 21 months, with three months on the surface to wait for favorable alignment of Earth and Mars orbits before returning.
Future astronauts will face challenges similar to the ones they face today on the International Space Station—reduced or zero gravity, confinement in a relatively small space, isolation and separation from family and friends on Earth, and risk of damage to their spacecraft from micrometeorites. Radiation is the number one threat for deep space missions: ISS is in a low Earth orbit and shielded from most solar radiation by the higher Van Allen belts. However, crews on Moon or Mars missions will be outside that protection and exposed to greater solar radiation and occasional solar flares. Deep space crewed vehicles will require additional radiation shielding to keep the crew healthy.
Q: Is there anything that shocked or surprised you while working on this project?
I was surprised by the amount of time and effort it took me to research, write, and edit even my own memoir, where I knew the storyline! I had written many technical papers before, but crafting a story that interests and inspires readers is another level of creativity and complexity. Someone advised me that producing the first draft was about 50% of the writing process and I found that to be true—editing, condensing, choosing which stories to tell and which to delete, all took enormous amounts of additional time. Choosing a publisher and negotiating a contract required a completely different expertise and I had to learn that skill.
Q: Any comments for the future readers of your book?
If you like to read adventure stories, especially true ones, where the character overcomes odds to reach a goal, you will enjoy this book. If you would like to know more about flying airplanes and flying in space, this book is for you. If you’re looking for a story about spiritual faith helping someone overcome obstacles in life, my story might interest and inspire you.

We have a suspect in custody. @YVRairport operations unaffected at this time. More information when available.
— Richmond RCMP (@RichmondRCMP) January 9, 2016
United Airlines flight 1104 took off from Anchorage, Alaska at 11:55 p.m. local time, and was en route to Denver when "the crew elected to divert the flight to Vancouver due to a security concern," according to United Airlines spokesman Charles Hobart.
The suspect, described as a Caucasian male around 70 years old, appeared to be acting erratically during the flight, according to a witness Denver7 spoke with.
The witness said the suspect was laughing a lot over nothing, and tried several times to pull out the monitor in front of him.
After the planed made a safe landing, Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers went inside the plane and peacefully escorted the suspect out, the witness said.
"We can confirm this appears to be an isolated incident in which security protocols were enacted and the criminal code investigations remains active and ongoing", says Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Dennis Hwang.
The Boeing 737 had 131 passengers and six crews on board. Hobart said they are cooperating with authorities and "will work to rebook our customers on alternate flights."
The flight was scheduled to arrive to Denver International Airport at 5:37 p.m., according to FlightAware.com, but the witness said flight officials didn't know for sure when the next plane would take off. | aerospace |

Although the missile did not hit the drone, and the aircraft “retreated from the border.” the army said on Sunday.
While it was not immediately clear who launched the drone, in February Israel shot down what it said was an Iranian drone that entered its airspace. It bombed Iranian targets in Syria in response.
Syrian troops have launched an offensive against rebel forces in southwestern Syria, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Israel has expressed concerns about Iranian troops supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces, and says it will not allow a permanent Iranian military presence in Syria.

Michael Opresko, 29, knows first-hand how challenging it is to fly and land the U-2 Dragon Lady
SAN AIR BASE, South Korea
The following article was taken from starsandstipes.com and is about JKB alum and Airforce Captain Michael Opresko.
— The once-secret U-2 reconnaissance plane is known for its high-value role in some of the Cold War’s most critical events. It’s also known as the world’s toughest plane to pilot.
Capt. Michael Opresko, 29, knows first-hand how challenging it is to fly and land the U-2 Dragon Lady, and how punishing it can be on the body. U-2 pilots fly alone for eight to 12 hours, and so high they have to wear a space suit.
“Going up to 30,000 feet cabin pressure is like going from sea level to Everest each day,” said Opresko.
And if above a certain altitude they were to lose cabin pressure or eject, without the suit their blood, saliva and other body fluids would instantly boil. Literally. “Not a good thing,” Opresko said.
A typical U-2 flight leaves the pilot drained, stiff, and because they breathe 100 percent oxygen during the flight, dehydrated.
“You’re completely wiped, you’re ready to go to bed, you’re hungry, you know, you feel like you’ve just worked out like none other,” Opresko said. “You don’t have the body aches and pains, but you just feel wiped. You’re done.”
The U-2’s flight controls have no hydraulics, so unless they’re flying on automatic pilot, working the aircraft takes lots of arm strength. Especially at lower altitudes.
“It’s all cables and pulleys with not too much mechanical advantage, so it does require a lot of arm strength, especially down low when you’re flying in the thicker atmosphere where the aircraft doesn’t respond as well,” Opresko said. “Occasionally we have had emergencies where some of those systems fail, and it does take all the strength that a person has to fly it properly.
“And in those situations, the medical responders are pulling them out of the aircraft. They find the pilot hunched over — can’t even unwrap their arms ‘cause the muscles are completely fatigued and now just stuck in this position.”
The Dragon Lady is also notoriously tricky to land. It’s like an oversized glider with a 150-foot wingspan and bicycle-style landing gear, and it takes great skill to keep the plane balanced on landing and get it to a safe stop, Opresko said.
The plane’s very long nose limits what the pilot can see out ahead, and the space helmet limits what can be seen at the sides.
So, normally, a qualified U-2 pilot in a high-speed car — at Osan it’s a Camaro — has to follow the plane and radio guidance to the pilot to help him set it down safely.
And there’s the matter of in-flight bathroom breaks — or not. The pilots have a device to wear for urinating, but defecating is “absolutely” out.
“We’d ruin the suit,” Opresko said. “So for that reason, we eat a high-protein, low-residue diet.”
As for the device, Opresko said it works well, usually. “We look cool and all that, but just know that we come out covered in our own sweat and urine quite often,” he said, laughing. “It’s still worth it though.” | aerospace |

A very interesting book, told from the perspective of two Japanese men who were very closely involved with Japanese naval aviation.
Not so much about the Zero fighter as about the whole Japanese WW2 war effort, specifically the war in the air waged over top of the huge naval battle groups amassed by both the Japanese and the Allies/5(3).
The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" was a long-range fighter aircraft formerly manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company, a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from to The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter (零式艦上戦闘機, rei-shiki-kanjō-sentōki), or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen.
Airman Steve Barber discovered a rather alarming truth about one of Japan’s World War II fighter planes.

Zero, also called Mitsubishi A6M or Navy Type 0, fighter aircraft, a single-seat, low-wing monoplane used with great effect by the Japanese during World War ed by Horikoshi Jiro, it was the first carrier-based fighter capable of besting its land-based opponents.
It was designed to specifications written inwas first tested inand was placed in production and in operation. Even though the Zero was outdated bythe plane was still in use on the front lines because of newer designs being pushed back and the Japanese having production difficulties.
During the final years of World War II, the Zero was even used in kamikaze mission. The Zero was the most produced aircraft for the Japanese during World War II.
The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft of World War ed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it was the United States Navy's dominant fighter in the second half of the Pacific War, outdueling the faster Vought F4U Corsair, which had problems with carrier landings.
TOKYO -- For more than six decades, Kazuo Odachi had a secret: At the age of 17, he became a kamikaze pilot, one of thousands of young Japanese men tasked to give their lives in last-ditch suicide missions near the end of World War he built a family and a career as a Tokyo police officer, he kept his secret from virtually everyone, even his wife, who knew only that he had served as a.

A single-seater fighter aircraft with machine guns in its wings for shooting down enemy aircraft in the skies. The Spitfire’s design continued to be developed during the Second World War to make it even faster and more powerful.
It became the most famous plane of the Second World War, particularly after its success in the Battle of Britain. Through World War II. The all-metal monoplane represented a huge increase in performance and firepower over the aircraft of World War I, and the effects were first seen in fighter tactics.
Air superiority. Airspeeds of the new fighters jumped to more than miles per hour, and some planes could operate at altitudes of 30, feet. Debates about fighter tactics in the Pacific for that first year must revolve around the allied efforts to bring the Zero to heel.
at the beginning Zeroes were achieving exchange rates well in excess of and contrary to many claims made, the f4f could not really cope with a properly trained pilot in a Zero.
The Night Witches didn’t have great planes, or superior bombs, or even very much support for their unit, but they nonetheless became one of the most remarkable fighting forces of World War II. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was spearheaded by one of the most dominant fighter planes in the Pacific: the ultra-light, extremely maneuverable Mitsubishi A6M "Zero." ().
World War II witnessed tremendous growth in the size of American military aviation, from about 2, airplanes to nearlyby the war’s end.

As per the UK drone laws, the maximum allowable altitude for drone operations is 400 feet (approximately 120 meters) above the ground level. This regulation aims to maintain a safe distance from other aircraft and prevent potential airspace conflicts.
The 400-feet limit serves as a crucial safety measure, ensuring that drones do not interfere with manned aircraft, including helicopters, airplanes, or other aerial vehicles such as gliders & parachutists. Adherence to this height restriction is vital for promoting airspace safety and preventing potential accidents or collisions, thereby safeguarding the integrity of the national airspace system.
Furthermore, understanding the permitted drone flight heights is essential for drone operators to avoid legal penalties and ensure compliance with the CAA regulations. Violating the prescribed altitude limits can result in severe consequences, including fines, legal implications, and the suspension of drone operation privileges. Therefore, it is imperative for all drone enthusiasts and professionals to adhere to the designated maximum flight height, contributing to the overall safety and sustainability of the UK’s airspace.
Additionally, maintaining awareness of the maximum permissible heights for drone flights fosters responsible drone operation practices, promoting a culture of safety and accountability within the drone community. By prioritising compliance with the established regulations, drone operators can contribute to the safe integration of drones into the national airspace and demonstrate their commitment to upholding the highest standards of safety and professionalism.
In conclusion, adhering to the prescribed maximum flight heights outlined by the CAA is integral to ensuring safe and lawful drone operations in the UK. By staying informed and compliant with the designated regulations, drone operators can contribute to the continued development and responsible utilisation of drone technology within the UK’s airspace.

Since then, airplanes have turn into a part of on a regular basis life. From small single-engine private planes to large jets that may carry heavy cargo, plane are in use in each part of the globe. All of them have one thing in common: they require common maintenance and repair.
When plane are involved, safety is critical. If you're driving your automobile and your engine quits, you'll be able to pull over to the side of the road. But if your engine quits when you find yourself flying a small plane at ten thousand feet, you've gotten a a lot more significant issue! Aircraft mechanics and avionics technicians must hold planes flying safely - it may be a matter of life or death.
Aviation technicians are highly skilled and maintain aircraft to requirements set by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Inside the business there are different areas of specialization.
Many plane mechanics focus on preventive maintenance. They examine landing gear, pressurized sections, plane engines, devices, brakes, valves, pumps, and different components of the aircraft. They carry out obligatory maintenance and components replacement, and keep records of the maintenance carried out on the aircraft.
Different mechanics specialise in repairs. They find and fix issues which might be identified by pilots or inspectors. Mechanics typically must work quickly in order that the plane can be put back into service.
Mechanics typically concentrate on one type of aircraft, resembling jets, propeller-driven airplanes, or helicopters. Others could focus on one section of a selected sort of plane, equivalent to the electrical system, engine, or hydraulics. Airframe mechanics work on any a part of the plane except the instruments, power plants, and propellers, whereas powerplant mechanics work solely on engines. Combination airframe-and-powerplant mechanics (A&P mechanics) work on all elements of the plane except the instruments.
Avionics technicians repair and maintain digital and navigation systems. They may require additional licenses, comparable to a radiotelephone radiotelegraph operator license
issued by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Most plane mechanics and avionics technicians receive training at one of many many technical schools certified by the FAA. About one-third of those schools award two-year and 4-yr degrees in aviation technology, avionics, or aviation upkeep management. Most mechanics who work on civilian plane are certified by the FAA as either a powerplant mechanic or an airframe mechanic.
FAA requirements require that licensed mechanic schools must supply students a minimum of 1,900 class hours of instruction. Programs usually last from 18 to 24 months, and provide training with the instruments and equipment used on the job. After graduation, mechanics and technicians should pass an exam for certification, and take not less than 16 hours of training each 24 months to maintain their certificate current. The FAA also provides the A&P certificates, a mixed certificates that enables for certification as each an airframe and a powerplant mechanic.
The Job Prospects Are Good
Based on the U.S. Government's Bureau of Labor Statistics, through the decade between 2008 and 2018 the sphere of aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and repair technicians will add 9,800 new jobs. With the appropriate training and certification, a type of new jobs might be yours.
However how do you get began? One of the simplest ways is to analysis career colleges. Log onto a reputable online college directory. Seek for aviation mechanics or avionics programs. Evaluate faculties and what they've to supply, including financial help and profession services. Then contact the schools that offer what you need. In less time than you assume, you could be training for a rewarding profession or expanding your present training to qualify for a better job. | aerospace |

Modding your nitro engine is not the only way, and arguably it is often considered the least desirable way, to increase engine performance for most RC nitro owners. -Make sure ignition is in good shape. Draw another circle for the other landing gear. The afterburner increases the temperature of the gas ahead of the nozzle. A Tecumseh carburetor can be adjusted by allowing the engine to heat up, adjusting the speed of the engine to the highest maximum revolutions per minute and allowing it to run at a slow idling speed. How viable they are is another story. ) While that may seem like a lot, the world record belongs to the engine's predecessor, the GE90-115B, which generated 127,500 pounds of thrust. | aerospace |

Everyone has heard about the Space Race inth century. The war between the Soviet Union ended in 1975, but did you know that a new space race has broken out? This time around, scientists around the world are working to accomplish a variety of goals, including finding a way to colonize other planets and make it suitable for humans to actually live in outer space. Is. To accomplish this goal, 3D printing is one of the key technologies considered for space colonization, thanks to its adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and ability to use local materials, if we are indeed to other planets. There is an important requirement if you want to go to the bodies. , We took a closer look at some of the many different ways additive manufacturing It is being used to make it possible to live on the moon or other planets of our solar system.
ICON and NASA Create 3D Printed Surface Habitat for Mars
In another project to get closer to the space exploration of the future, NASA turned to the expertise of 3D printing and in particular the well-known 3D printing manufacturing company ICON. In the latest project, which will take a look at the possibilities of creating habitats on other planets, the startup recently announced that it will be 3D printing a simulated Mars surface habitat in collaboration with architecture firm Big-Bjarke Ingels Group, which will Be the first of its kind. nominated Mars Dune Alpha, the estimated 1,700-square-foot structure is being used in NASA’s one-year Mars Mission Analog study to simulate a realistic Mars habitat. As soon as production is complete, the model will be delivered to NASA’s Johnson Space Center, which is located in Houston, Texas.
Life on Mars from 3D Printing?
Since 2014, NASA has been running a competition called the 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge, which aims to envision structures that could be 3D printed in space to support life on a different planet than Earth. One of the award winning projects a few years back was the Marsha project, which developed a concept for 3D-printed houses on Mars. The American company AI Spacefactory is behind these cone-shaped structures of 34 square meters in size. It would rely on resources found on the Red Planet to erect tiny houses, thus freeing itself from the constraints of transporting materials from Earth. Finally, MARSHA is designed with a double-shell system to separate the habitable places from structural constraints caused by temperature changes on Mars.
3D printed spacesuit to colonize the Red Planet
It’s no secret that many projects are being developed to get to Mars. If it is important to know how to get there, it is equally important to ensure that we can set foot on the planet without dying. That’s why companies like NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are working on this topic. Keeping this in mind, the Mars One company, which was launched in 2011, has come up with a spacesuit designed using 3D technologies. Thanks to digitization and additive manufacturing, the company has developed a suit fully adapted to the astronauts’ morphology to ensure survival on Mars.
Zebro robots lead the way to colonize Mars
Researchers at Delft University of Technology have found another way to use 3D printing to help build structures on Mars, this time with robots! Delft’s Zebro Swarm Robots Designed to excavate underground living spaces on the Red Planet, using 3D printing to fortify walls with Martian material. Swarms of autonomous robots would act similarly to ants forming a colony, communicating with each other and dividing tasks while digging underground. Scientists expect that it will be more suitable for humans to live underground on Mars because the strong temperature changes present on the planet will be less noticeable. Indeed, ESA has recognized the importance of the project, giving the team a grant to develop it further.
Lutein and 3D Printing Structures on the Moon
Like many companies, luyten Specializes in manufacturing additive for space exploration. As part of the Mica project, the Australian 3D printer manufacturer is collaborating with the University of New South Wales (UNSW). The goal of this program is to create structures on the Moon using the Platypus Galacticus 3D Printer. using this technique and from regolith, a lunar material, the company hopes to build structures 12 meters long and 9 meters high. In addition, to identify buildable areas, Luyten plans to send rovers with the Platypus galacticus. Some will be able to assess areas while others will collect regoliths.
3D Bioprinting in Space
Life in space is clearly not always fun; The lack of gravity greatly affects the bones and muscles of astronauts. This is why ESA researchers are working on a 3D bioprinting project to design skin and bone samples. The printing process was reversed to prove that it could be transferred in space under microgravity conditions. If astronauts can keep a 3D bioprinter on their travels, they’ll be able to respond to medical emergencies—in case of burns, for example, the crew can print new skin. In the case of ESA, several skin and bone samples were 3D printed from plasma, methyl cellulose and alginate.
Moon Village, the 3D Printed Lunar Base
Today, 3D printers can be used to print all kinds of parts, from cars to homes to organs. The potential of the technology is enormous, and the European Space Agency (ESA) knows it. In collaboration with Russia and China, ESA wants to 3D print a lunar base called “Moon Village”. To achieve this, scientists aim to use lunar material, because transporting material from Earth is very expensive. That is why, for many years, experts in the additive manufacturing and space industry have been working to study the feasibility of the project, which is currently feasible.
In January 2021, a team of researchers from the Technical University of Braunschweig and the Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH) succeeded in 3D printing regolith for the first time. To perform this experiment, called “Moonrise,” scientists equipped a lunar rover with a laser to melt lunar material and obtain regolith. Once this step was completed, the researchers used the IRAS MIRA3D rover, a lunar vehicle specifically designed to 3D print in space. Thanks to this, the team behind the project claimed to be able to design objects out of regolith. The first, which could open up the field of possible future construction on the Moon.
3D Printed Bio-Adhesive Bandaids
As part of a space mission called Cosmic Kiss, in which various tests are carried out by astronauts aboard the ISS, German cosmonaut Mathias Maurer recently tested the use of bioprinted adhesive plaster in space. The ultimate goal of BioPrint FirstAid, as these innovative plasterstrips are called, is to simplify future medical first aid in desolate areas or in extreme conditions. The hand-held, mechanical bio-printer is used to apply it directly to the desired location on the skin, where it immediately prints a plaster-like bandage using a special-bio ink. Because of the printer’s compact size and easy operation, the scientists behind the project see its potential future use in doctors’ practices as well as in space or in complex regions like Earth, such as the Arctic region.
We talked about it earlier, in March 2015 NASA launched the 3D Printed Habitat Challenge. And out of 160 entries, one in particular stood out to the jury. Called LavaHive, the concept was developed by the European Astronaut Center and members of the Austrian group Liquifer Systems. Like the Moonrise project, the researchers’ idea was to use regolith as a 3D printing material. Specifically, the LavaHive project consists of an inflatable central dwelling reinforced with walls printed from lunar material. Furthermore, in order to obtain a sufficiently large living space, this inflatable area is connected to three sub-habitats, also 3D printed by a kind of tunnel.

In August of this year, China secretly launched their new Long March rocket, a product of the China National Space Administration. The Long March was reportedly used to send a hypersonic glide vehicle into low-Earth orbit.
That hypersonic glide vehicle remained in low-orbit space for a full revolution of the planet before eventually tilting down toward its target.
According to officials interviewed by the Financial Times, the missile missed its target by an estimated 24 miles, but the interviewees remarked at the amazing next-generation weapon that China had produced so quickly and so secretively. The officials remarked that the weapon was “far more advanced” than anyone in U.S. intelligence had realized.
An unnamed U.S. official simply admitted that the agency had “no idea how they did this.”
A People’s Liberation Army security expert claims that the weapon was jointly invented by China’s Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics, the state-owned entity which produces rockets and missile systems for the country’s military.
According to Ratheon, a hypersonic weapon is one which travels at 5 times the speed of sound, also known as Mach 5, and such weapons and vehicles can cover vast distances in mere minutes.
MIT professor and Chinese nuclear weapons expert Taylor Fravel told Fox News that if China fully develops hypersonic glide vehicles, the effects would be “destabilizing.” He explained that the low trajectories, mid-flight maneuvering, and sheer speed of low-orbital weapons-bearing vehicles makes them very difficult to track and destroy before they reach their target.
Last year, Michael Griffin, the Pentagon’s Under Secretary of Defense regarding Research and Engineering said that the development of hypersonic capabilities was of “the highest technical priority,” for the U.S.
According to a Reuters report, the Pentagon claimed just last week that hypersonic weapons remain too expensive and encouraged defense contractors to pursue development of “more affordable hypersonics.”
The Pentagon’s budget request increased from $3.2 billion to $3.8 billion for the 2022 fiscal year.
Russia similarly is developing a hypersonic glide vehicle known as the Avangard. The weaponized vehicle is being designed to travel at 27 times the speed of sound and could carry a nuclear warhead of up to 2 megatons.
This report comes as military tensions rise between the United States and China with the Chinese military increasingly ginning up threats against Taiwan with provocative flyovers.

- Aircraft operators as airlines to fly more with minimum operational and maintenance costs.
- Aircraft maintenance centres to be more efficient and decrease costs as they can optimize their resources allocation
- (Aircraft, engines, equipments and parts) manufacturers to improve their current and future products (design, reliability, etc.) by a better knowledge of their fleet while in service.
The state of the art highlights that forecasting tools exist on the market but the optimisation of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance tasks dates taking into account a large amount of data like several constraints set by the aircraft operators and/or the maintenance centres (as qualified resources availability based on the aircraft configuration) is done manually.
These tools compare the maintenance schedule set by manufacturers with available historical in-service data (as flight hours) in order to forecast next stops for aircraft maintenance. This forecast represents the current aircraft maintenance plan.
2MoRO Solutions’ existing tool uses an in-house frequent pattern algorithm to give a precise indication whether the next maintenance tasks should be performed ahead or after of maintenance schedule.
Description of the infrastructure
Current status: algorithm works on small data subset
Current limitations: data size, and analysis depth
Our data-mining application extracts straightforward information from a set of built data. It provides a set of temporal interval sequential patterns from a set of discrete temporal sequences in regards to extracting parameters (temporal, frequency, accuracy, interested data dimension) specified by user.
Data are loaded from a data base and pre-processed regards to user mining needs. It can be organised on several sequences database connected there between each other in regards to an arbitrary choice (made by user regards to mining needs).
Extraction algorithm is performed on each sequences database in order to identify straightforward patterns. The extraction process applies a growth pattern approach by performing a vertical extraction based on database projection. Recursively the algorithm first extract frequent patterns and then project data base.
The extraction implement specific (time) parameter constraint and apply a sliding window in order to consider different data merging combination. For instance, for aircraft lives data, let Vi refer to the flight i, Mj refer to a maintenance task j and S = <S1;S2> be a set of historic sequences where S1 =<(0;V1)(2;V2)(3;V3)(5;M1)> and S2 =<(0;V1)(2;V3)(3;V2)(6;M1)>. Let the minimal support constraint be equal to 2. Our method returns the sequence: < ([0;0]V1)([2;3]V2 V3)([5;6]M1) >. On this sequence intervals express an uncertainty for the exact moment when data occur.
According to the application field the accuracy of extracted patterns can be computed or performed by using linkage between sequences database. The provided result consist is set of frequent patterns associated to a frequent and accuracy rank.
The set of patterns can be used on a computation application in order to perform maintenance plan and predict maintenance task.
Currently, our solution is deployed on a local machine and works on small data. However, the parallelization of the algorithm is feasible (correctness theoretically proofed) and not coasty. the Figure infrastructure describe the flow and the interraction between the diffrent modules of our application:
Infrastructure : Interraction between the diffrent modules of our application and the description of the data flow
To provide scheduled maintenance tasks:
- Aircraft are delivered by manufacturers with a lot of documentations (aircraft maintenance manual (AMM), maintenance planning document (MPD), etc.). The format of the documentations is either paper-based or electronic versions.
- Maintenance tasks are described in the AMM and the scheduling in the MPD.
- During the aftermarket phase (operational phase) that can last more than30 years, manufacturers provide update of these documentations to the operators.
To perform inspections:
- Inspections of aircraft (airframe, engines, equipments and other systems) are performed by aircraft operators and/or Maintenance Repair and Overhaul centres based on their qualifications and the level of tasks to be performed.
To analyse damages:
- Damages are compared to the limits set by manufacturers in the aircraft documentations. Depending on the damages that are inside the limits, the outcomes may be doing nothing or repairing, replacing the parts. If damages are beyond the limits, manufacturers should be contacted to search for solutions to repair the parts. New solutions have to be certified by authorities (i.e. FAA, EASA, etc.) before being distributed by manufacturers and implemented by operators.
To determine tasks:
- Based on the analyses of damages and theoretical scheduled tasks, a list of tasks to be performed is determined by the operator and/or MRO centre.
To display the planning:
- At last, all determined tasks have to be planned. The aircraft availability has to be optimised, that is the reason why some tasks are proposed to be performed ahead of time.
Comparison between current and targeted scenarios
- Comparison of measures with limits set by manufacturers is almost done manually
In the targeted scenario, the creation of a global knowledge database will be enabled. Therefore, analysis of damages will be more reliable and the determined tasks to be performed more adequate. At last, it will be possible to make proposals to perform tasks beyond the limits set by manufacturers and then increase aircraft availability. Those proposals will be provided to operators and/or MRO centres with justifications. Hence, it will be easier for them to obtain approval by manufacturers and indirectly by authorities.
Detailed description of the demonstrator
Integrating our Solution on Cloud SME project will help us to perform and validate our solution on large scale data.
Facing a big amount of data will allow us to overcome the scalability of our algorithm, to test and perform the accuracy of its results in real situations including a larger set of parameters and configurations served by data.
Using Big Data will also allow us to adapt, perform and expand predictive functionality that uses our data-mining results.
This experiment should be able to use our algorithm in a parallelised way. We already know the mathematical formula that gives us how many processors we can parallelise our program depending on the quantity and the definition of data.
The capacity to define dynamically where the data is going to be stored is another new functionality, today we need to work this out manually for each client (choice, maintenance, backups…). The objective is to define it easily once for good.
Obtaining enough data logs and traces to understand how our algorithm works in order to anticipate the need for more resources. This would be a way to master our scalability.
Make our program work seamlessly on a fleet of 10 aircraft without any problems and ensuring the resources consumption can be kept inside a coherent business model.

The company began its services, after it was founded by Naresh Goyal, in 1995. The company went public in 2005 at an offer price of Rs 1,100 per share. Its all-time high went to Rs 1,379 in April 2015. As the Indian government started allowing FDI up to 49% in the aviation industry, in 2013, ETIHAD acquired a 24% stake in Jet Airways for $379 million. Jet Airways acquired Air Sahara. On 12th April 2007, the deal was on the table with Jet Airways agreeing to pay Rs 14.5 billion to Air Sahara. Air Sahara was renamed as ‘JetLite’ on 16th April 2007. In October 2008, Jet Airways allied with the rival Kingfisher Airlines for code sharing on all flights, collaboration on frequent flier programs, and sharing crew and ground handling equipment.
In May 2018, Jet posted an unexpected loss in the fourth quarter of the FY18 of Rs 1,036 Crores. This was their first quarterly loss in all 11 quarters. The company posted another loss in the first quarter of Financial Year-19 due to high fuel prices and announced measures to cut costs by Rs 2000 crores over 2 years. For the first time, the airline deferred payment of salaries of pilots in October 2018 and the company started curtailing operations by grounding 13 planes. In December, the number of cancelled flights went up to 40 per week, and the company staff still worked unpaid. On the cusp of the New Year, Jet defaulted on loan repayment for the very first time. An EGM was convened in February that cleared a resolution plan, including a fresh allotment of shares to lenders. The situation had already turned dangerous as about 50 aircraft have been grounded. Further, as a result of pressure from lenders, Jet chairman Naresh Goyal and his wife Anita exited the airlines. The lenders’ consortium is expected to invoke its entire 51% stake in the airlines to clear their dues. The other equity partner, Etihad, decided to either rescue or cut ties with Jet Airways during a board meeting on 31st March.
As Naresh Goyal and his wife Anita stepped down from Board of Directors, it will generate interest from willing parties like the Tata group, to invest in the airlines. SBI-led domestic lenders agreed to provide an additional emergency funding of 1500 Crores to Jet but the amount curtailed to 200 Crores as SBI awaited an RBI update on the same. This amount has been allocated to facilitate payment of suppliers of Jet in the interim, as the bidding process is initiated.
On 12th April 2019, Jet Airways announced the suspension of all eastern-India bound and all international flights due to a lack of available aircraft. As of 17th April 2019, Jet Airways has temporarily suspended all the flight operations, due to lenders rejecting Rs 400 Crores for emergency funding. Lenders called for EOI (Expression of Interest) while CEO Vinay Dube sought emergency funding. Lenders refused to budge, and the airline suspended operation until an investor is found. | aerospace |

Me by another plane in the hangar
Warning Label on our Plane
So, I was a chicken and I only let him do barrel rolls with me, but Josh, who wants to get his pilot's license one day and fly planes, wasn't scared of anything. So he did something called a hammer head which is where they fly really high and start going backwards like they're going to do a back flip, but once the front of the plane is pointing towards the ground, they just start spiraling straight for the ground! They spin and spin until he gets close, then he pulls the nose of the plane up. Way toooooo scary for me. He also let us fly the plane while we were up there, it was really amazing!
These two are the barrel rolls. I look terrified in my video, I know, but it was a lot of fun! In the beginning of my video I say, "Oh crap, I'm so scared" HAHA.
This last one is a video Josh took while doing that hammer head thing....yikes! | aerospace |

These systems were named LORAN and Decca Navigator and were focused on knowing where the enemy was so they could either attack or retreat depending on the size of the forces.
Additional inspiration for modern day GPS systems came when Sputnik was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. A team of scientists monitored Sputnik?s radio transmissions and discovered that because of the Doppler Effect, the frequency of the signal being transmitted was high as the satellite approached and lower as it moved away. The Doppler Effect is the change in frequency and wave length of a wave as it is perceived by an observer moving relative to the source of the waves.
This team of scientists that was observing Sputnik?s radio transmissions soon realized that since they knew their exact location on the globe, they could pin point where the satellite was along its orbit by measuring the Doppler distortion. This was groundbreaking and very exciting for the military at the time.
The United States Navy used the first satellite navigation system called Transit. It was first successfully test in 1960 and was quite mind-boggling for everyone in the military. When the Navy tested Transit, they did so hoping for some quite specific results. Using a constellation of five satellites, they found that the system could provide a navigational fix approximately once per hour.
In 1967, the Navy developed the Timation satellite which proved the ability to place accurate clocks in space. This is a technology that the GPS system relies on. In the 1970?s, the ground-based Omega Navigation System, based on signal phase comparison, became the first world-wide radio navigation system.
In February of 1978, the first experimental Block-I GPS satellite was launched into space and the development of modern-day GPS systems began. These original satellites were initially made by Rockwell International. Now, the satellites we use for GPS are manufactured by Lockheed Martin.
By 1985, ten more experimental Block-I satellites had been launched into space to validate the concept of GPS and in 1989; the first modern Block-II satellite was launched. By December of 1993, the GPS system achieve initial operational capability and just a month later, a complete constellation of 24 satellites were in orbit with full operational capability declared by NAVSTAR in April of 1995.
A year after that, President Bill Clinton realized the importance of GPS to civilian users as well as military users which prompted him to issue a policy directive that declared GPS to be a dual-use system meaning civilian as well as military. He established an Interagency GPS Executive Board that was responsible for managing GPS as an asset of the United States. the previous examples going off in all directions. So instead of a series of circles, you get a series of spheres.
The auto GPS system, or the vehicle global positioning system is a unique magnetic piece of advanced technology that makes use of a regional map fed into the electronic guide and fitted either on the dashboard of a car or under the carriage to act as a driver?s navigational aid when on the road. It gives directions to the destination point and how to best reach it safely, in time and with a choice of alternate routes, landmarks to cross and distances covered besides also acting as an anti-theft device and helping the owner locate the vehicle if he?s forgotten where he parked it! Now, life doesn?t get better than that, does it? | aerospace |

“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.”
National Aviation Day is observed in the United States on August 19th of each year to celebrate the history and development of aviation. It coincides with the birthday of Orville Wright who, together with his brother Wilbur, made significant contributions to powered flight. The holiday was established in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who issued a presidential proclamation which designated the anniversary of Orville Wright's birthday to be National Aviation Day (Mr. Wright, born in 1871, was still alive when the proclamation was first issued, and would live another nine years). The proclamation was codified (USC 36:I:A:1:118), and it allows the sitting U.S. President to proclaim August 19 as National Aviation Day each year, if desired. The proclamation may direct all federal buildings and installations to fly the US flag on that day, and may encourage citizens to observe the day with activities that promote interest in aviation.

4. Thank an Aviation Industry employee - One can make a pilot's day by thanking him or her for a great flight, but one shouldn’t forget the rest of the aviation network such as mechanics, dispatchers, baggage handlers, controllers, and engineers for they all have an equally important role in making the aviation industry what it is.
