She was the first Indian - American astronaut and first Indian woman in space. She first flew on Space Shuttle Columbia in 1997 as a mission specialist and primary robotic arm operator. In 2003, Kalpana Chawla was one of the seven crew members killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
Kalpana Chawla completed her earlier schooling at Tagore Baal Niketan Sr. Sec. School, Karnal. She completed Bachelor of Engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering at Punjab Engineering College at Chandigarh in 1982. She moved to the United States in 1982 and obtained a M.S. degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1984. Kalpana Chawla went on to earn a second M.S. degree in 1986 and a PhD in aerospace engineering in 1988 from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Later that year she began working at the NASA Ames Research Center as vice president of Overset Methods, Inc. where she did CFD research on Vertical/Short Takeoff and Landing concepts. Kalpana Chawla held a Certificated Flight Instructor rating for airplanes, gliders and Commercial Pilot licenses for single and multi-engine airplanes, seaplanes and gliders.
Kalpana Chawla joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in March 1995 and was selected for her first flight in 1996. She spoke the following words while traveling in the weightlessness of space,"You are just your intelligence". She had traveled 10.67 million km, as many as 252 times around the Earth.
Her first space mission began on November 19, 1997 as part of the six-astronaut crew that flew the Space Shuttle Columbia flight STS-87. Kalpana Chawla was the first Indian-born woman and the second Indian person to fly in space, following cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma who flew in 1984 in a spacecraft. On her first mission, Chawla traveled over 10.4 million miles in 252 orbits of the earth, logging more than 372 hours in space. During STS-87, she was responsible for deploying the Spartan Satellite which malfunctioned, necessitating a spacewalk by Winston Scott and Takao Doi to capture the satellite. A five-month NASA investigation fully exonerated Kalpana Chawla by identifying errors in software interfaces and the defined procedures of flight crew and ground control.
After the completion of STS-87 post-flight activities, Chawla was assigned to technical positions in the astronaut office to work on the space station, her performance in which was recognized with a special award from her peers.
In 2000 she was selected for her second flight as part of the crew of STS-107. This mission was repeatedly delayed due to scheduling conflicts and technical problems such as the July 2002 discovery of cracks in the shuttle engine flow liners. On January 16, 2003, Chawla finally returned to space aboard Columbia on the ill-fated STS-107 mission. Chawla's responsibilities included the microgravity experiments, for which the crew conducted nearly 80 experiments studying earth and space science, advanced technology development, and astronaut health and safety.
We lost Kalpana Chawla in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster which occurred on February 1, 2003, when the Space Shuttle disintegrated over Texas during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, with the loss of all seven crew members, shortly before it was scheduled to conclude its 28th mission, STS-107.

Nograles, in a statement, said he was able to speak to some of the passengers who told him that “upon touchdown, he suspects that the plane landed not on the runway but on the ground so the pilot stepped hard in the brakes which is an indication that the pilot miscalculated his landing.”
He said the airline apparently committed lapses on the way it handled the emergency situation.
Nograles said that when the “plane skidded to a stop after overshooting the runway, the emergency exit doors were not opened immediately and flights crews, including the pilot, also went into panic instead of helping the passengers to calm down.”
A passenger, he said, told him that it took about 10 minutes before the pilot could say anything to the passengers after the plane crashed.
“That was also the only time when the emergency exit doors were opened. The passengers disembarked using the slide so they had to leave all their personal belongings behind. It was raining hard and they were very slow in transporting the passengers from the plane crash site to the airport,” he said.
Nograles also criticized the reported “shabby treatment of the terrified passengers as they were not even given instructions on how and where to collect their luggage.”
The Cebu Pacific management, meanwhile, has been silent about the reason why flight 5J 971 figured in a crash. Not one from the airline would want to comment on runway mishap.
Its press release only said that “flight 5J 971 from Manila to Davao landed safely but veered off to the right of the Davao runway during a heavy downpour at the time. All 165 passengers were unhurt and safely shuttled to the terminal, where their needs were taken care of.”
The same press release said that the airline has “cancelled 20 roundtrip flights to and from Davao on June 3, 2013, because of runway obstruction leading to the closure of the Davao International Airport.”
Because of stranded passengers, the airline announced that it has arranged for 10 extra roundtrip flights between Manila and General Santos, four extra flights between Cebu and General Santos, one extra flight between Iloilo and General Santos and one extra flight between Zamboanga and General Santos to re-accommodate affected passengers.
“The airline is contacting guests on their re-accommodation, and is providing transfers between General Santos and Davao, as well as meals and hotel accommodations, as necessary. Rest assured that Cebu Pacific is doing its best to assist all passengers, and facilitate the removal of the runway obstruction,” the company said.
The incident, according to Nograles, showed that Cebu Pacific personnel lacked training in handling emergency situation.
“In other words, Cebu pacific is not equipped to respond to emergency situations such as a plane crash. The in-flight crew should know how to handle actual emergency situations and not just good at making a demo during pre-flight procedures,” he said.
Cebu Pacific is known for its affordable domestic and international travel packages.
The Davao representative said the probe must also look into “various promotional campaigns of Cebu Pacific which often results to overbooking and most importantly,overworked pilots and in-flight crews.”
“Cebu Pacific is endangering the safety of their passengers because they practically turned their airline company into a sari-sari store. With so many flights to cover, their pilots and in-flight crews could hardly take a rest.That is definitely an invitation to disaster, ” he said. | NewsDesk | aerospace |

Venus was relatively uneventful. That is to say, the trip
to Venus was relatively uneventful. To some
cynics surprise, the eggheads at NASA had actually
planned the whole thing quite well.
There seemed to be no problems with the equipment or supplies, which was just as well, as any hint of a foreseeable problem and the jackals of the press would have a field day. They were all sitting back on Earth in their comfortable offices, well away from the perils of zero gravity and zero oxygen (most of them were much closer to the perils of 100% alcohol). They were all just hoping for something to go wrong so they could all write hyped stories about it and boost their ratings, readerships, salaries and bonuses.
Whether or not there would be problems landing on Venus, exploring Venus and getting home again would be another matter. Even the most respected experts didnt really know what was down there, beyond that it was pretty horrible. It had been eight years and four days since the unmanned craft had landed on Venus. And it had been eight years, three days, twenty-three hours and fifty-two minutes since that unmanned craft had been ripped apart by something down there. They presumed it had been the force of the various nasty particles flying around near the surface, though it could just as easily have been a huge three-headed bug-eyed monster with an appetite for space vehicles.
The astronauts had been assured of the mighty strength of the craft they would be landing in. Penis I was tougher than the "top dog" in a womens prison, and the NASA scientists told everybody they could find how confident they felt about the craft coming to no harm whatsoever. Privately some of them may have been running a book on how many millions of pieces the craft would end up in, but publicly they were putting on a very brave face.
The astronauts themselves were fairly confident. As they approached Venus, both Ralph and Chuck were confident that theyd be able to land, have a poke around down there, and set up whatever weird and wonderful scientific collection and analysis instruments theyd been provided with. And when they'd finished, and maybe had time for a cup of tea, they would return to the waiting Earth as the greatest heroes of the world since that Jesus bloke.

Most of Australia’s cases were acquired overseas and brought into the country via air travel. But as airlines around the world lay off staff and ground planes many pilots and flight attendants have no choice but to keep working — grateful to be among those who are still employed but terrified of the potential consequences of doing their job.
They are sick or not feeling well and yet they still travel.
The small sleeping area typically contains a lie-flat bed, reclining seats, and sometimes a TV and bathroom. Passengers aren’t the only ones who sleep on long-haul flights. Flight attendants and pilots need their rest as well — but you won’t catch them snoozing in economy class. While flight attendants sleep on bunk beds in tiny crew rest areas, pilots get their own separate sleeping compartments, where they can spend up to half of their time on a long flight.
Most fliers are completely unaware of these hidden sleeping quarters. Here’s what they look like. On most planes, the pilot’s resting area can be found above first class and tucked behind the cockpit, as it is on this Boeing
John Hollywood writes about pop culture with a psychological twist; his articles are practical in nature with a “how-to” approach. Note: The information provided for this article was given to Mr. Hollywood in an interview from a flight attendant who wishes to remain anonymous. I’ve been a flight attendant at a major U. The truth is that the work we do may sound glamorous and exciting, and sometimes it is, but our jobs can also be exhausting and stressful.
Share flight numbers so that you can check in on your partner’s flight progress. This will add a sense of security, especially when pilots can’t always be reached by.
Last week, we received a huge response from readers when we posed the question of whether or not pilots hop in bed with flight attendants regularly while flying together. My friend, Pilot Mike said he’d never really witnessed it, but many of you replied and said otherwise. Let’s look at some of your responses. Abacaxi: As a former flight attendant who recently resigned: Yes, they do hook up with flight attendants frequently. I can’t believe he said he has never seen it.
Not only do pilots hook up with the attendants but also passengers they meet on the flights, random women at bars hotels etc. Same goes for flight attendants, quite a lot of whom have multiple guys they see in different places. We were warned in training how often this happens and that in smaller companies, assume everyone will know about it.
Its a stressful lifestyle and a lonely one, prone to a lot of drinking on layovers. Also, it seemed like most of the pilots who were married- were actively cheating or trying to cheat on their wives. I learned that one airline, the pilots wives came together to pressure the company into booking different hotels for Attendants and pilots to avoid this. MisterHippity : My brother is an airline captain and I spent a lot of time hanging out with professional pilots, and this has been been my impression.
I shared an apartment with him and partied with his pilot buddies, and I can testify that these guys and flight attendants hook up all the time. As a general rule, they all liked to drink and have sex, a lot.
But she had to cry with flight attendants frequently. Not currently accepting new, and i have asked flight attendant, which is to its desk at aa. Also do have anything more than the message text on a major airline pilot flying mattresses. Sometimes we need to its desk at people’s curiousity of affairs? Continuously romance scam victims hook up macau linkedin.
Cabin crew reveals ‘tricky’ concern about flights attendants dating and pilots. “A relationship with a flight attendant can be tricky,” Poole wrote.
You wouldn’t get very far on a flight without pilots: They’re the people who put all that sophisticated equipment to work. On commercial airlines , there are always at least two pilots, and on many flights, there are three. All airline pilots have had extensive training and flying experience, often as part of military service. The road from the first training flight to the airline cockpit is a long and difficult one, but for many pilots, this is the only way to go.
On an airliner, the pilot in command is called the captain. The captain, who generally sits on the left side of the cockpit, is ultimately responsible for everything that happens on the flight. This includes making major command decisions, leading the crew team, managing emergencies and handling particularly troublesome passengers. The captain also flies the plane for much of the trip, but generally trades off with the first officer at some point.
The first officer , the second in command, sits on the right side of the cockpit. He or she has all of the same controls as the captain, and has had the same level of training.

Here are my answers to some of your burning questions about how we manage to find love in the air. It really depends on both parties because being part of the cabin crew can be great for a relationship — we have more time off than most people do, which means more time at home with our loved ones. That said, if one or both parties in said relationship have any insecurities or trust issues whatsoever, then yes, it can be difficult to the point of being impossible.

I’ve only ever wondered what airplane sex in the flight attendant hook up with flight crew reveal hilarious stories about picking up to determine. The air, where pilots end up scenarios of the heavy lifting that we end up with.
Not only do pilots hook up with the attendants but also passengers they meet on the flights, random women at bars hotels etc. Same goes for.
The role of a flight attendant derives from that of similar positions on passenger ships or passenger trains , but it has more direct involvement with passengers because of the confined quarters on aircraft. Additionally, the job of a flight attendant revolves around safety to a much greater extent than those of similar staff on other forms of transportation.
Flight attendants on board a flight collectively form a cabin crew , as distinguished from pilots and engineers in the cockpit. The German Heinrich Kubis was the world’s first flight attendant, in He also attended to the famous LZ Hindenburg and was on board when it burst into flames. He survived by jumping out a window when it neared the ground.
Origins of the word “steward” in transportation are reflected in the term ” chief steward ” as used in maritime transport terminology.
We totally understood that meet pilots and also flight attendants are very busy. Are you confused regarding have no time to find a lover despite you are always seeking them?

Cabin crew spend a lot of their time on aircraft and flying all over the globe. This can result in a negative knock-on effect when it comes to personal relationships. Flight attendant Heather Poole revealed in her book Cruising Attitude a difficult part of the job. She reveals what it is like to date a cabin crew member — and how pilots are the ultimate threat for partners. This is especially true for those involved before their flight attendant career began.
Nine times out of ten, imaginations get the best of those left on the ground. Pilots and the idea that the vast majority are incredibly good looking and eligible poses a big threat for many partners back home.
As much as you might like to travel, there is so much that happens behind the scenes that we are not even aware of, especially when it comes to flying. Flying can be one of the most frustrating parts when it comes to travel, airports, lines, cramped seats, limited baggage allowance, and hours of what can only be described as being frozen in time 30, feet in the air. Although it can be a nightmare for passengers, imagine what it’s like for the flight attendants.

Okay, gentleman, firstly the bad news: dating a flight attendant can be difficult, unpredictable and at times it may feel as if you are swirling in a world of chaos. But the good news, the really good news, is that dating a flight attendant is interesting, charming, intense, the chaos can be exciting and it will be like no other relationship you have ever been in.
We can be hard work, but trust me, we are worth it! As well as putting my own thoughts and experiences down, I have interviewed my boyfriend and got some insights from the other side of the relationship fence.

BEFORE RAF STORNOWAY
Although Royal Air Force Station Stornoway only officially existed between 1941 and just after the end of World War II (until reinstated in the 1960s), the RAF association with Stornoway goes back to 21st May 1928. On this date a Southampton flying boat, [believed to be from 480(Coastal Reconnaissance) Flight, based at RAF Calshot*], touched down in Stornoway harbour. This was followed by several other visits over the years by service flying boats as, at the time, there was no landing ground for wheeled aircraft on the island.
*(Information kindly supplied by Mr. D. Smith)
The first flight to land on the island itself was undertaken by the aviation pioneer Capt. E. E. Fresson, on 8th March 1934, utilizing the golf links at Melbost, just outside Stornoway and near the present day site of Stornoway Airport. Proper grass runways were only completed on the site in August 1939, with the intention of opening regular commercial flights to Inverness. Unfortunately, the outbreak of war with Germany in September 1939 put a halt to true commercial flights but Scottish Airways, formed by Fresson and others to operate to the islands, were used by the Air Ministry during the war to fly communication flights to Stornoway.
THE WAR YEARS
With the outbreak of war and sightings of U-boats in the Minches (the strip of water separating the Isle of Lewis and Harris from the mainland) during early 1940, a detachment of 612 Squadron, based at Dyce airfield outside Aberdeen, and consisting of Avro Anson aircraft of 'B' Flt., were stationed at Stornoway from June 1940. The airfield still had grass runways and no real infrastructure to support intensive flying operations. The Golf Clubhouse was used as Flight Headquarters and Officer's Mess. Officers were accommodated in the County Hotel in town, with other ranks billeted in a few hastily erected Nissen huts or lodgings locally.
The Avro Anson was a general duties reconnaissance aircraft which had entered service in 1936 and, by 1940, was not best suited to long arduous over water patrols hunting submarines in all weathers. But, with precious few other assets at its disposal, RAF Coastal Command had to make the best of what it had. In many cases, it was the crews who made the difference. Flt. Lt. Grocett of 612 Sqn. remembers the hospitality of the island people and related an amusing incident during the squadron's stay. It illustrates the comparative peace and quiet enjoyed on the islands at the time, compared with other parts of the country under almost constant air attack. Returning from a patrol, Grocett's air-gunner fired his gun at a flock of ducks in the South Lochs area. On landing at Stornoway airfield, he found everything on high alert as the firing had been heard and taken to be enemy aircraft attacking the island!

Although 612 Sqn. did encounter U-boats on several occasions, no sinkings were recorded and the squadron left Stornoway in December 1940. Also present on the island, from late 1940 to mid-1941, and based at Stornoway harbour, were 701 Sqn. Fleet Air Arm (FAA), who flew Walrus bi-plane flying boats. These were used on anit-submarine and air-sea rescue duties.
48 Sqn. replaced 612 Sqn. in December 1940, also flying Ansons. It's C/O, Wg. Cdr. C. Broughton, assumed command of the airfield. Nothing much had changed, with grass runways and the Clubhouse still in use. Charles Broughton remembers two incidents of 48 Sqn's stay. The first involved one of the squadron pilots who, after returning from a patrol on a Sunday, was making his way to Station HQ, via a path which was a public right of way. He encountered an elderly lady who proceeded to hit him about the head with her umbrella for daring to fly on the Sabbath! The other incident also occurred on a Sunday, when dockers at Stornoway Harbour refused to work on the Sabbath to unload a consignment of aviation fuel. As it was vital for the squadron to receive the fuel immediately, the RAF personnel ended-up unloading the cargo themselves.
(Wg. Cdr. Broughton's memories reproduced by kind permission of Norman MacLean)
ENTER THE GERMANS
At the end of 1940, a brief attack was undertaken by a German aircraft on the Butt of Lewis Lighthouse. Not long after mid-day on 16th November 1940, a Focke-Wulf FW200C Condor aircraft of 1 Gruppe Kampfgeschwade 40, operating from Bordeaux-Merignac in France, strafed the lighthouse during its return from an anti-shipping patrol over the Atlantic. Little damage was caused apart from a few broken windows.
Early in 1941, the Germans carried out regular high flying reconnaissance flights over the Stornoway area, taking photograghs of the island, as evidenced by photos found by branch member Reg Brown in Germany at the end of the war. He came across rows of filing cabinets containing thousands of aerial photos of nearly every part of the U.K., all arranged in alphabetical order in typical German thoroughness. He managed to 'liberate' the photos showing Stornoway harbour and town and also the airfield. So regular were these German visits, that a plan was put in place to bring a Spitfire across from the mainland to try and intercept this intruder. The Spitfire arrived and sat fully armed and fuelled, awaiting its German prey. Lo and behold, the German failed to appear while the Spitfire was present and, it was only when the fighter had returned to the mainland, that the high flying German returned! Was this a coincidence or was there a spy at work?
On 22nd June 1941, a German aircraft dropped a number of bombs near Arnol on the west coast of the island, the only known time bombs were dropped. No casualties or material damage were caused. On investigation, it was found that some of the bombs had failed to explode, due to the soft peat soil. When the bomb disposal team, of which Reg Brown was a member, tried to dig the bombs out for de-fusing, they merely sank deeper into the peat, so it was decided to re-bury them.
With the Avro Anson being less than ideal for the task, it was replaced by the American built Lockheed Hudson aircraft, as more of this type were being shipped from the States. These aircraft, being heavier and carrying a larger fuel and bomb load, required tarmac runways to operate from. With the airfield being officially designated an RAF Station on 1st April 1941, the new runways were laid during the first half of the year. It was probably because of the disruption that this caused that, between March and May, 827 Sqn. FAA were attached to the airfield, as their Fairey Albacore bi-plane aircraft (similar to the famous Swordfish), required little take-off and landing space.
During the construction of the runways at Stornoway, 48 Sqn. had been re-equipping with Hudsons and, on 7th August 1941, undertook the first sorties from the new runways. At the same time as the runway construction, the technical and domestic accommodation on the airfield was greatly expanded. Between mid-1941 and mid-1942, all personnel were housed on the airfield, ten hangars were erected, an underground Battle Headquarters constructed for use if the airfield came under attack, a bomb dump built and finally, a pigeon loft with pigeon keeper established.

HERE COME THE YANKS
By mid-July 1942, the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) had requested the use of Stornoway airfield to support the increasing number of American aircraft crossing the Atlantic for use by the British and themselves. With the added influx of American personnel, the airfield was in a state of steady growth over the next 3 years. More equipment was added to support this Atlantic ferry route, as well as an increase in RAF activity.
48 Sqn. had moved out in October 1941 to be replaced by 500 Sqn. between May and August 1942, also operating Hudsons. Then, in September, they were in turn replaced by 58 Sqn. equipped with Whitley twin-engined bombers. Mid-1942 also saw the start of the regular USAAF ferry flights, with a varied assortment of aircraft types passing through.

Operational sorties also continued by the RAF, in their constant battle with the U-boat menace. This resulted in several U-boat sinkings but unfortunately also several aircraft being lost to either enemy action or other causes. These losses suffered over the war years are now commemorated by the RAF Stornoway Memorial, sited opposite the gates of the present day Stornoway Airport and the Book of Remembrance held in Martin's Memorial Church, Stornoway. A list of those casualties also appears on the 'War Dead'
page of this website.. In January 1943, with the departure of 58 Sqn., 303 Ferry Training Unit, flying Wellingtons, were stationed at Stornoway, but remained for only 3 months, departing again in March.
By June 1943, over 100 USAAF personnel had joined those of the RAF at Stornoway. Kramer Norris served with the USAAF at Stornoway and recalls, 'We helped man a wireless direction finding unit at Stornoway with the RAF fellows. The call-sign allocated us was PIGSTY. We had quite an argument with them about the name but they won and the name stayed'. The call-sign for the tower was BREADCRUST.THE HALIFAX ERA BEGINS
From July to August 1943, 518 Sqn. with Halifax aircraft occupied Stornoway. These aircraft were engaged on meterological flights, forcasting the prevailing westerly weather for use in the bomber offensive over Germany. On 1st November 1943, control of RAF Stornoway passed from Coastal Command to Transport Command. Then, in December, the main runways were extended again to accommodate larger B-17 and B-24 aircraft. As part of this expansion, Sandwick Hill to the west of the airfield was removed, as it presented a hazard to aircraft landing from the west. Today, Sandwick Hill remains in name only!. Also around this time, a Fighter Sector Control Centre was constructed underground where the present day Mossend Industrial site is. The inside of this building would have been familiar to anyone who has seen a film about the Battle of Britain, with a plotting table and information boards on the wall.
By February 1944, the combined strength at Stornoway numbered 832. On 10th August 1944, Stornoway was again assigned to Coastal Command.
In September, 58 Sqn. returned to Stornoway, this time with Halifax bombers, and were accompanied by 502 Sqn., also with Halifaxes. These two squadrons were to remain here until the end of the war. Both squadrons operated from Stornoway on anti-shipping sorties to the Norwegian and Danish coasts, attacking German shipping, initially in daylight and later at night. With this increase in personnel, the station strength reached over 2000 in October 1944.

Stornoway was a busy airfield by 1944, with two operational squadrons, numerous ferry flights and other miscellaneous movements. One incident reported on 12th Nov. 1944 was, a B-24 Liberator of 311(Czech.) Sqn. from Tain, made an emergency wheels-up belly landing after its flight engineer misread the pilots notes and shut down the engine which drove the hydraulic pump for the undercarriage. The whole crew was sent on an English language course!
Another incident around this time occured on 13th Jan. 1945. A Halifax of 58 Sqn. had just taken-off and, as the undercarriage was being raised, the aircraft lost power and sank back onto the runway, luckily with no injuries to the crew. The aircraft was scrapped and Mr. Mackenzie of Grimshader bought the rear fuselage section for use as a hen shed. In 1984, this section of aircraft was given to the Yorkshire Aviation Museum to help in the rebuilding of a Halifax they were restoring. A similar section was also donated to a Halifax restoration project undertaken in Canada.
Meanwhile, back at RAF Stornoway, a new stage had been built in the WAAF Dining Hall and, on 9th Feb. 1945, saw the first performance of 'Northern Lights', a variety show performed by station personnel. The show ran for 3 nights and was also performed in the Town Hall for the public of Stornoway.
Back with the two operational squadrons, successes and losses were mounting. Although attacks were now being carried out under cover of darkness, it also meant that attacks had to be pressed home to be effective. One incident was probably one of the most remarkable of the war. Halifax PN425 of 58 Sqn. took-off on 9th April 1945. On reaching their patrol area, a parachute flare was released but got trapped in the bomb bay and exploded. The explosion blew-off the radar blister under the aircraft, leaving a large hole. The mid-upper gunner, Flt. Sgt. John F. Smith, was detailed to investigate the damage. He fell through the hole but miraculously, part of his harness caught on the aircraft and he was left hanging face down outside the fuselage. When other crew members went to locate him, they assumed he had fallen through the hole and perished. The aircraft made an emergency landing at Carnaby, near Bridlington and upon inspection, Flt. Sgt. Smith was found semi-conscious hanging from the aircraft. He had spent 3 hours outside the aircraft at 3000 ft. at a speed of 150 m.p.h. He eventually made a full recovery and survived the war.
By May 1945, station strength stood at 2004 and, on 8th May, a large party was held to celebrate the end of the war in Europe. Shortly afterwards on 25th May, it was announced that 58 and 502 Sqn's would disband. Also during May a group of local youths, aged between 10 and 18, managed to 'liberate' 111 hand grenades, 753 detonators, 8 electrial detonators and 24 burster bombs from the RAF store. Most of the munitions were recovered, but not before a few 'experimental' explosions took place! Luckily, no one was injured.
AT WARS END
With the end of the war, the tempo of operations declined but Stornoway still retained an important role for the masses of US aircraft re-crossing the Atlantic on their way home. This is a role that Stornoway still serves today, as an important waypoint for commercial trans-Atlantic air traffic, by way of the radar site at Maybury, just outside Stornoway Airport. The runways built during the war remained in use post war, after the RAF and USAAF moved out, for the growing commercial air traffic serving the islands and Stornoway became a staging post for smaller aircraft attempting the trans-Atlantic crossing.

The upcoming mission follows 31 satellite-deployment flights from Rocket Lab’s launch facility in New Zealand since 2018, with the move to the U.S. marking a significant expansion of its business.
Rocket Lab Debut Launch from LC-2 - 'Virginia Is For Launch Lovers'
The Virginia is for Launch Lovers mission is currently scheduled for Sunday, December 18, and will see Rocket Lab using its workhorse Electron rocket to deploy six satellites for radio frequency geospatial analytics provider HawkEye 360.
The Electron will depart Launch Complex 2 at Virginia Space’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport within NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility about 100 miles southeast of Washington, D.C.
This launch has been delayed several times due to administrative issues with the FAA and poor weather conditions, but an update shared by the company on Sunday was positive about the launch going ahead today.
Rocket Lab says that with its second launch facility it can now support more than 130 missions every year for government and commercial satellite operators, enabling it to better compete with the likes of SpaceX.
The company, founded by New Zealander Peter Beck, will use the same U.S. launch location for its next-generation and much more powerful Neutron rocket, which is currently under development. Fellow launch operator Northrop Grumman also uses the facility to launch its Antares rocket for Cygnus supply missions to the International Space Station.
How to watch the launch
Rocket Lab will launch its first U.S. mission from its facility at Virginia Space’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport within NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility.
The launch will be livestreamed by Rocket Lab, and you can watch the stream either by heading to Rocket Lab’s YouTube page for the event or by using the video embedded near the top of this page.
Coverage begins at 5:20 p.m. ET (2:20 p.m. PT), with the launch window opening at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) on Sunday, December 18. Liftoff could be at any point within a two-hour window.
The mission has already been delayed by poor weather conditions, so be sure to check Rocket Lab’s Twitter account for the very latest information regarding the launch.

A way to pay for it was explained in Innovative Financing of a Large Space Project presented at the 38th Space Congress.
The SEP is comprised of four interlocking and dependent items.
To examine closer:
HLV: Current methodology dictates that there are only two ways to reduce launch costs, build cheaper expendable vehicles or truly reusable vehicles. Both of these solutions will reduce the costs but not as significant as the method proposed in the SEP. To significantly reduce cost per pound more of the pounds need to be permanently usable in orbit.
What is the whole purpose of launching a rocket but to put an item(s) in orbit. If it costs x amount to launch a rocket then the cost per pound is x divided by the mass of the item that is LEFT IN ORBIT, not the mass of the complete vehicle. If more of the mass that is lifted is usable in orbit the lower the cost per pound.
What SFO is proposing is that the Space Base segments be a part of the HLV. In this way each time a rocket is launched the Space Base receives a new segment AND payload. Add to that the recovery of the second and third stages by a space tug and the price per pound of usable mass goes way down.
MV: In order for a system of this magnitude to operate profitably many different types of functions must be done on the ground as well as in space. A Space Base has to be large enough to support all revenue producing business, which necessitates a great many people. By building a vehicle that can lift 20 people plus three crew we meet the operational needs and lower the price per usable on orbit pound.
Space Base: This is the primary revenue generator. This is where the money will flow from to support the other activities. By putting up a very large structure all types of activities can be pursued. Everything from renting space to manufacturing to a port of call will be done on this base. It will be very much like a seaport in the early 1900's.
SMLI: By locating the manufacturing facilities next to the launch complex high launch rates can be supported. The SEP calls for 1 HLV launch per week and 1 MV launch per month. Traditional rocket construction techniques will not be sufficient, methods form other industries such as auto, computer and energy will be utilized. True assembly lines, horizontal integration and just in time stock will become the norm. This in turn will improve efficiency and reduce the time and cost to build launch vehicles and Space Base segments.
The four interlocking pieces are what make the SFO SEP different from all of the others and what will ultimately make it happen and very profitable.

The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has resolved to push ahead with a plan to expand its drone combat weapons system despite the malfunctioning drone that injured two last Saturday on the USS Chancellorsville’s last Saturday off the coast of San Diego. The $4 million aerial and subsonic target drone, Chukar (BQM-74E), which was manufactured by Aerospace giant Northrop Grumman, capable of speeds up to 604 mph, had veered out of control during an operation test. Luckily only two sailors out of the 300 crew members aboard the ship were injured after it was struck by the drone. Investigators at the Naval Base were unable to say why the drone lost control and crashed.
This is the second drone crash to occur in the past week after another unmanned craft malfunctioned and came down over Lake Ontario on Tuesday, prompting the suspension of all drone flights in Central New York.
A group of concerned citizens on drone testing in San Diego County, Back Country Voices, holds the FAA, San Diego Military Advisory Board Council, the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp., and the San Diego Board of Supervisors, accountable to the taxpaying citizens of our County.
We believe our safety and rights to privacy are being targeted by the military drone culture. Where does it end if we don’t start holding these official representatives responsible?

WHY YOU SHOULD USE A PROFESSIONAL DRONE PILOT
In recent years, drones have become widely available for almost anybody to purchase. This means that you could go to the store and buy yourself a drone today, watch a few YouTube videos on how to fly it, and attempt to accomplish your photo, video, mapping, and inspecting projects all by yourself.
However, you will soon realize that flying a drone is not easy. In order to produce professional results, you must be a professional drone flyer. Not only do we know how to operate a drone with pinpoint precision, we also take care to deliver crisp, clear footage, film, and models every time. We have taken our training very seriously, becoming fully certified. With Higher View Media, exceptional results are ensured from start to finish.
Due to FAA regulations, some air spaces require waivers and clearances to fly in. This process can take up to 48 hours | aerospace |

|501-1,000 employees||Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Germany||1986|
EUMETSAT’s mission control centre is located within the organisation’s headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany.
OSC was commissioned to brand a new workplace environment for EUMETAST’s mission control that would instil confidence, improve the visual working environment for the control teams and instil pride of place.
We knew through the sciences of psychology and symbology that different colours convey different meanings and provoke different emotional responses. We strategically developed a colour palette that would generate different sensations in the perception of space, while ensuring the overall look and feel would remain consistent with the existing brand guidelines already established by OSC.
Working from the original architectural designs, OSC developed detailed 2D and 3D renderings that clearly outlined our design vision for the project. This included outlining a colour palette of each of the three operational areas, determining carpet colours and textures, and use of wood and metallic finishes. Thanks to our contribution, EUMETSAT’s control centre was successfully modernized while remaining loyal to the organisation’s established brand identity. | aerospace |

Gordon Scott, Three Wars, an American Warrior
Gordon served served with the 78th Fighter Squadron in Hawaii flying a number of fighter aircraft including P-40s and P-47. He was shipped out to Iwo Jima with the 78th with their P-51D Mustangs. For the first few days after arriving, they flew air to ground support at Iwo for the US Marines. In April 0f 45 as B-29 they began very long range (VLR) fighter sweeps over Japan and as escorts on bombing missions to mainland Japan. The 78th was the first land based fighter squadron to fly combat missions over mainland Japan. The account of Gordon's last mission and being forced to ditch on the 4th of July 1945 is linked here.
Gordon later served as a F-86 Sabre pilot in the Korean war. His third and final war was Viet Nam where he was a squadron Commander of F-4 Phantoms, and later Deputy of Operations of a Fighter Wing flying missions north to Hanoi from Viet Nam and Thailand. He retired from the USAF in 1972 as a Colonel. He attended a 78th FS reunion in Hawaii from 2-8 Dec 2006.
Efforts are being made by numerous groups to raise funds and recover his P-51D "Sparkin Eyes" from the lake in Japan it has rested in for over 61 years. If the recovery is successful, the plans are to restore it for eventual public display at the Pacific Aviation Museum at Ford Island
Former 78th FS Squadron Mates Jerry Yellin and Gordon Scott at the Halona "Blow Hole" on Oahu in Dec 2006.
They hadn't seen one another since a combat mission briefing over 61 years ago on Iwo Jima when Gordon was blown out of the sky over Japan and had to ditch his P-51 in a lake. Jerry published his book "Of War and Weddings, A Legacy of Two Fathers" in 1995. It is available at amazon.com.

March 7, 2024
Technology has streamlined and aided in many facilities operations; however, one type of technology is taking facility managers’ capabilities to new heights: drones. These small, unmanned aircraft can assist facility managers by providing views of places they could not safely get to. Explaining more about drones and their benefits is Gene Huntington, Solutions Coach at Steward Green LLC, who will be presenting the session “Drones in Real-World Facility Applications” at NFMT 2024 in Baltimore from March 12 to 14.
FacilitiesNet: What are the applications for drones in facilities management?
Gene Huntington: The sky is the limit, but what we do mostly for facility managers is to show them how to use the technology to do building envelope inspections. They can also do rooftop inspections, and there are many uses for drones. We can show facility directors how they can easily find, without boots on the top of the roof or climbing up on structures, they could find membrane leaks or potential membrane leaks. They could also spot very voltage hot spots or even heat loss.
The other application for facility managers is mapping. So, you take pictures and videos with drones. There is so much more topography mapping, so showing different elevations in the ground when they are doing a capital project. Or even doing orthomosaic mapping on a consistent basis to gather data and progress on construction projects and things like that.
FN: Why are drones better for building envelope inspections?
Huntington: They are safer than sending somebody up on the roof and get the job done quicker, so it is more efficient. For example, we can do an inspection on a college campus like the New Jersey Institute of Technology where there are 40 buildings on the campus. It can literally do that inspection in one night, gather the data, and then it analyzes it over a couple of days. There is no way they could do that with boots on the ground. It would take them weeks and weeks to do that without a drone.
So, just the efficiency, safety and quality are better because we are seeing things that cannot be seen with boots on the ground like the membrane leaks underneath.
FN: What Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) compliance issues exist for using drones?
Huntington: There are a lot of them, but I’ll go over a few of the compliance issues. There are airspace issues like being able to fly in certain airspaces. Then there are other airspaces that you have to get additional authorizations from the FAA. You also cannot fly beyond the line of sight or over a crowd of people. That is OK. We can still use drones as a tool. Also, you must have a Part 107 license from the FAA to fly a drone these days.
To learn more about what facility managers can do with drone technology, be sure to check out Huntington’s session at NFMT 2024 in Baltimore. Register for NFMT here. Facility managers can also register on-site day of the show.

The Predator drone, which was first used in the 1980s to track and destroy Soviet aircraft, was retired in 2014, but is currently being used by the U,S.
Army, the U., U.K. and Australia for surveillance purposes.
But for many farmers, a drone is an extension of their past work, the work that started with a farm hand or a cow, or the work of someone who grew their own food.
For some farmers, the drone has transformed their day-to-day life.
Drones are a boon for farmers.
In 2016, the American Farm Bureau Federation estimated that agriculture accounts for $5.2 trillion of the world’s total economic output, which means farmers can now get the tools to feed their families with little extra money.
Drones have also helped boost crop yields by about 20 percent.
As drones become more prevalent, the United States is becoming more dependent on them.
The United States has more than 100 commercial drone operators, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, and there are more than 20,000 commercial drones flying in the U’the U.s. drone industry, according the Drone Council, a trade group.
While drones are an increasing threat to farmers and rural communities, they are also a boon to those who are building the infrastructure for future agricultural innovation.
And they have the potential to transform agriculture, from growing food to feeding it.
The drone industry is growing rapidly.
The industry generated $1.4 trillion in sales in 2016, up from $1 billion in 2013, according ToonFarm Robotics, a firm that helps farmers use drones to improve their crops.
The company’s CEO, David Schaller, told me the number of people interested in farming drones has increased by 40 percent since the early 2020s.
The drones are now so commonplace that even the United Nations says that we need to rethink how we think about agriculture and food security.
In fact, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation (FAO) says that “the use of agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is likely to contribute significantly to food security challenges in the near future.”
But, according of the UNAIDS report, “there are also substantial concerns about the potential for unintended consequences and the unintended consequences of the deployment of drones in agriculture.”
The United Nations has warned that “there is a risk that farmers and other agricultural workers could be subject to injury, property damage, and even death” if farmers and others use UAVs.
So, why are farmers and agricultural workers using drones?
Many of these farmers and farmers-in-training are already in the field with a drone.
These are farmers who already have experience, or who are considering it.
Some farmers are already using drones to help them with their farming activities.
But a lot of farmers and agronomists are starting to use drones for other things, like scouting for insects and to assist in crop production.
The agricultural drone industry was first popularized by farmers who wanted to be able to watch the crops grow in the fields, but wanted to do so safely.
Many farmers also want to use the drones to do other things.
Many of these agricultural drone operators have backgrounds in engineering, which makes them a good fit for farming drones.
These drone operators work for farms that have multiple crop types, including corn, soybeans, and wheat.
Some of the drone operators also have a business or farming background, which is useful for them because they can help farmers improve their yields and profitability.
In many cases, these drone operators don’t work directly for the farmers, but they are there for other reasons.
Some have an agricultural background, and they also like to be part of the growing process.
In other cases, they have other jobs.
For some farmers like the one pictured above, the farm hand, the farmer, the professional, the scientist, they all have a common goal: they want to help farmers achieve greater yields and improve their profitability.
For these farmers, drones have allowed them to make some of those goals happen.
Many of the drones are also useful for farmers because they allow them to monitor crops that have been in the ground for months or even years.
For instance, in one of the most popular farming applications, a farmer in the Philippines recently used a drone to survey the crop growth of his soybean fields.
This drone video shows the farmer planting his soybeans and then surveying the growth of the soybeans on a map.
The farmer also can see how the soybean crops are growing and how they are going to grow next year.
In addition to surveying, the farmers also | aerospace |

Launching a satellite is an expensive and time consuming business, but I have often felt that the most nerve-wrecking part of the process must be after the launch. If anything major malfunctions on the spacecraft, it's highly unlikely that you will ever be able to do anything about it as repairs, faulty part replacements and refueling are practically impossible, or at least they have been until this experimental spacecraft was launched for testing today:

The structural components of a launch vehicle can be broadly classified into primary structures like motor-cases, inter-stages, propellant tanks, thrust frame/structure, nose fairings, etc., which are intended to provide a load transfer path during the actual service and secondary/appendage structures like solar panel backup deck plates/antenna dishes, cover panels, etc., which are primarily functional designs which need to bear selfweight and operational loads. These are further classified into pressurized and non-pressurized structures and depending on service environment, these could be either hot or cold structures. Structural components at critical areas needing detailed investigation are: Pressure vessels, segmented joints in solid propellant rocket motors. Junctions of cylindrical shell and ends, solid propellant rocket motor grain configurations, rocket motor nozzles, inter-stage structures: truncated conical shell cylindrical shell, heat-shield structures, final stage motor casings & satellite interface and satellite structures .
The performance of a space-vehicle structure depends upon its strength, stiffness and compatibility with propulsion and guidance. Probability of a successful space flight is increased by simplicity of design and analysis, avoidance of discontinuities and high thermal gradients, minimization of dynamic effects and use of stable materials and structural configurations. A higher local safety factor greatly improves the reliability of connections, attachments, fittings and other load-concentration areas, with only a very small over-all weight increase. A smooth flow of stress is important. Therefore machine-welded, milled, forged, extruded or east parts with continuous contours and gradual cross-sectional changes are preferable to built-up hand-welded, spot-welded, bolted or riveted parts .
The causes of failures in structural components may be generally classified into three groups faulty design, including improper selection of materials, faulty manufacturing and deterioration with time in service conditions may deviate from the designer's expectations. The generally identified modes of structural failure are brittle fracture, fatigue, yielding due to overload of the crosssection, leakage of containment vessels, corrosion, erosion, corrosion fatigue and stress corrosion, instability (buckling) and creep or creep-fatigue interaction. Two types of failure criteria recognized by rocket industry are yielding and fracture. Failure due to yielding is applied to a criterion in which some functional of the stress or strain is exceeded and fracture is applied to a criterion in which an already existing crack extends according to energy balance hypothesis .
Experimentation with a variety of materials would show that the theory works well for certain materials but not very well for others. Designer has to use/establish a suitable failure theory for the intended materials. Structural analysis and testing are being employed to assess the adequacy of the design. The derivation of classical (analytical) solutions to obtain design formulae for complex structural configurations involves considerable mathematical difficulties .
The finite element method has become one of the most popular and general numerical methods of structural analysis. Applications of finite element method to other areas of engineering include, Fluid flows, Heat transfer, electromagnetism, etc.,. Brief historical reviews of the finite element method are given in two articles. The finite element method has the capability to deal with complex loading conditions, material behavior and practical geometries. The finite element methods for analyzing the stress and displacement distributions of an elastic continuum have long been interpreted as approximate methods associated with different variational principles in elasticity. These displacement and for stress fields are then assumed in each element and the resulting equations from the application of the variational principles are simultaneous algebraic equations, which may have generalized displacements, generalized internal forces or stresses or both displacements and forces at the nodal points as unknowns to be evaluated.

Crewing a balloon is not strenuous work but it is physical labor. You have to be able to lift 50 lbs, run short distance and traverse uneven ground. But the excitement of helping to inflate the balloon, watch it take flight, chase it on the ground as it travels through the air and then retrieve and pack up the balloon is worth the effort. Balloon launches begin by assembling the gondola and laying out the balloon. Two crew members, one on each side of the opening of the balloon, hold the balloon open to allow air to pass into the balloon. A large fan is used to blow cold air into the balloon. As the balloon inflates, crew members pull the bottom of the balloon out to aid in the inflation.
Crew members hold robes keeping the balloon in place
The balloon pilot directs all of the activites during the inflation. Crew members can be asked to hold robes, pull the balloon out as it cold inflates, hold the balloon open during cold inflate, or act as goodwill ambassadors for the balloon by passing out cards and pins. During balloon fiesta all of this takes place in close quarters with other balloons inflating all around you. Care must be taken not to walk on any balloon as this can cause the balloon to tear, or to get tangled in any robes laying on the ground.
The most dramatic part of any inflation comes when the pilot fires the burners. In an effort to save fuel pilots usually don't fire the burners until they have been told they will be the next wave to go. During Balloon Fiesta ground crew, called Zebras, give the pilot the go ahead to launch.
At the word from the Zebra, the balloon lifts into the air. The chase crew quickly packs up everything on the ground and leaves the field. Chase crews use radios and visual contact to follow the progress of the balloon. Because balloons are at the mercy of the wind thay usually cannot designate a landing area prior to launch. During this launch the pilot put the balloon down in an alfalfa field in Corrales, not far from the inn. It was a popular landing spot that day as about a dozen balloons touched down while we packed up. | aerospace |

They may be fixed or variable pitch. Early aircraft propellers were carved by hand from solid or laminated wood with later propellers being constructed from metal. The most modern propeller designs use high-technology composite materials. The propeller is usually attached to the crankshaft of a piston engine, either directly or through a reduction unit. Light aircraft engines often do not require the complexity of gearing but on larger engines and turboprop aircraft it is essential. | aerospace |

Lowndes County Fire Rescue Trains on Landing Zone Operations
Lowndes County, Georgia: On Wednesday, August 9, fire personnel from Lowndes County Fire Rescue, SGMC EMS, Smith Northview personnel, and Air Evac Lifeteam 142 participated in training on the landing zone and air medical operations, with the concentration being the SGMC Smith Northview Campus landing zone.
The instruction, provided by Air Evac Lifeteam 142 from Tifton, provided direction on landing zone dimensions, safe operations around a running aircraft, and appropriate response to an aircraft emergency. Students also participated in loading and unloading of a patient in a running aircraft. The training will help crews efficiently operate at the scene of an incident where rapid transport via medical helicopter is needed.
“This training will improve both department’s readiness in the event of a need to rapidly transport ill or injured individuals directly from the Smith Northview Campus,” stated Jeff Talley, Training Captain, Lowndes County Fire Rescue.
“Joint trainings such as this provide a method to reach multiple agencies while improving capability to assist citizens in their time of need,” said Molly Huffmaster, Flight Nurse with Air Evac.
Air Evac Lifeteam Base 142 is an air medical service with a unit based in Tifton, Georgia. The company operates more than 140 air medical bases across 15 states providing air ambulance services to communities in need of advanced emergency medical care and rapid transport.

Some of these activities are: shipping and delivery, geographic mapping, agricultural or emergency management monitoring, assets maintenance for infrastructures and networks.
The autonomous driving systems are a part of the broader application field of Artificial Intelligence, which provides the tools necessary to a drone to fly without a pilot.
GeoDrones4D is a part of a more complex system providing these features. The software is made of two modules: a simulator and a viewer.
The simulator generates the flight paths inside a selected area on a 2D map (tha paths are always different and not closed).
A broker (ActiveMQ) delivers the generated coordinates to the second module, which displays the drone flight on 2D as well as 3D maps. The drone will be displayed in different colours based on its speed. | aerospace |

However, the ISS is planned to be decommissioned in 2030. Thus the future of CASIS as an institution is uncertain. Recognizing this temporal condition the design introduces a public space into the program in order to sustain function in case of future disruptions in the core institutional activity.
The design encompasses of a simple volume; within it an embedded mass that houses the exhibition spaces and a suspended mass that holds the offices and control center. As such the middle space becomes a generous public space that gently rises from the entry and leads up to a view of the east river. The entire volume is also organized around two sunken courtyards that bring light into the underground exhibition areas, the middle public platform and the work spaces above. | aerospace |

What does Australia’s earliest tractor have in common with Mars landing vehicles? The two surprising similarities are terrain and wheels.
NASA visits the outback
In 2019, NASA scientists together with members of the joint European–Russian ExoMars mission visited Australia’s outback to learn lessons about the oldest convincing evidence of life on Earth.
Did you know that the rocks in the Pilbara region are approximately the same age as those on Mars, ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 billion years old? This field trip provided essential knowledge that could be directly applied to the mission plan for landing a rover on the red planet.
Tractor wheels and steel lugs
Whether you are designing vehicles for exploration on Mars or for agriculture across our Great Southern Land, it is important to consider the terrain and design the wheels accordingly.
Australia’s earliest tractor, known as the EA, was made possible by the invention of the oil-driven internal combustion engine in the 1870s and was first released in 1908. In 1912, the engineers, Alfred and Ernest McDonald, improved the design and released the second generation, the EB.
The EB came 20 years before the invention and use of pneumatic rubber tractor tyres and so the wheels were made from steel. The rear wheels on the EB have steel lugs, in the form of low-level square section rods, welded to the surface to provide greater traction on softer ground.
During the early 1920s, Australia led the way in the development of steel lugs for agricultural purposes. For a while, Australian company Ronaldson Tippet was set to become the country’s largest tractor manufacturer with commissions to alter the wheels for several American tractor manufacturers. However, the invention of the rubber tractor tyre very soon surpassed the need for steel lugs.
Redesigning wheels for Mars
So why, with so many innovative improvements and advances in rubber technology, did NASA choose to develop metal tyres for a vehicle destined to explore the surface of Mars?
Perhaps the simplest answer is that the rover mission to Mars has cost well over $1 billion USD and tractor tyres, regardless of quality, are not puncture proof. A puncture on Mars could end the mission.
In the 1960s, NASA began to develop its own tyre technology for the first manned mission to the moon in 1972. The vehicle used large flexible wire mesh wheels with stiff inner frames to prevent over deflection and, just like the wheels on the EB tractor, thin tread strips were used to enhance traction in soft lunar soil.
This is where the similarities between early tractor wheels and Mars landing vehicles end.
The technology, type of metal and engineering principles adopted for the wheels on the EB are very different to those adopted by NASA for their rover vehicle.
Today, tyres designed for space exploration are made from nitinol, a nickel and titanium alloy with extraordinary ‘super elastic’ (which has the ability to deform) and ‘shape memory’ capabilities (that is, the ability to return to its resting state without being damaged).
These tyres are impervious to punctures, do not require maintenance, are lightweight and designed to perform in the most extreme environments.
Back to Earth
The SMART (Shape Memory Alloy Radial Technology) Tire Company was formed to commercialise this new category of airless tyre for use on Earth and for exploration on the moon and Mars.
The company has developed tyres for automotive, cycling, agriculture, trucking and aerospace applications while also creating the ultimate lunar tyre designed to carry multiple astronauts and heavy cargo across the south pole of the moon.
Perhaps one day, rubber tyres will be superseded by metal tyres. I wonder what Alfred and Ernest McDonald would make of that? | aerospace |

So far, the Iranian forces have successfully some new air defense systems during these military exercises, including a radar network that spots "stealth" aircraft. The country's senior military officials have also rolled out an air defense system which is an upgraded version of the Russian advanced S-200 system. The new, improved medium range system is capable of spotting and destroying advanced aircraft at both low and high altitudes. It can also be used to spot and destroy advanced aircraft at low and high altitudes. Brigadier General Hamid Arzhangi also indicated that the device can be used in electronic warfare, and can be networked with other radar and defense systems. The air maneuvers are being held near Iran's strategic sights and landmarks, to assess the performance of the newer air defense systems and enhance rapid response capabilities in countering potential air attacks!! | aerospace |

I've devoured innumerable books, documentaries, television shows and films about the still-new history of human spaceflight. But it was only this weekend that I began to wonder about an improbable but not impossible scenario.
Back in the days of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, space capsules with returning astronauts would land at sea; they'd parachute into the ocean in a target zone relatively close to ships of the US Navy. Said ships would retrieve the capsule and astronaut.
Sometimes capsules would land quite far away from their intended landing zones, meaning astronauts would have to wait, bobbing in their capsule, for the Navy to find them. But what if the opposite occurred? Sometimes capsules splashed down within a mere kilometre of the recovery zone. What if one of those capsules came down right on target - onto the deck of one of the recovery ships?
There are many factors at play here. Presumably radar and spotters aboard ship would quickly figure out that the capsule was going to land really, really close. Is an aircraft carrier nimble enough to dodge a falling capsule once the captain realizes there could be a collision? If so, no problem, and an easy pickup. But if not...
Weight is another factor. Mercury capsules held one astronaut, Gemini, two, Apollo, three. None had braking rockets, unlike Soviet capsules, designed to land on dry land. Even landing on water could be quite rough for the astronauts, so slamming into a flight deck might be disastrous. Would the astronauts survive? Would the flight deck be severely damaged? What if a capsule landed in the middle of a patrol boat rather than an aircraft carrier? Or what if it came down scraping along the side of the conning tower before it actually hit the deck? Would there be an earsplitting yet cartoonish "BONG" as the capsule slammed into the ship?
I wonder about these things sometimes. | aerospace |

Glasgow Airport main runway was nearing the end of its design life and strengthening works were required to rebuild runway 05/23. Work involved strengthening the central section for aircraft loadings for the next 15 years, replacing the airfield lighting system and resurfacing the runway - all within a tight runway possession between 10:30 pm and 5:40 am every night.
The contractor needed to install new runway cable ducts and 920 new runway lights within this possession.
webercem pyrapatch, a fast setting pavement repair concrete, was used to install the new lighting ducts along the main runway. The tight
possession times meant the material was required to set fast and gain at least 30 N/mm2 within 3 hours to allow aircraft landings after 06:00
hours. The contractor cut chases through the existing runway and used webercem pyrapatch to infill around the electrical ducts. The lighting units were installed using the BAA approved webertec bedding mortar, a fast setting resin mortar enabled the contractor to install the lighting units quickly in temperatures down to 0°C and the lights were then grouted into position with webertec grout FG. | aerospace |

We visited an Air New Zealand exhibit which discussed the history of Air New Zealand and New Zealand aviation, and also proposed what the future of aviation could hold. On a large whiteboard wall, guests to the exhibit were asked to write their comments about futuristic aviation concepts, including the concept of ‘robot pilots’.
My date scoffed that anyone supportive of the ludicrous concept of robot pilots was obviously uninformed, and wiped a few of the comments off the wall. I laughed but could tell it had touched a raw nerve. After all, I knew that automation already played a significant part in his job. He often joked that being a pilot consisted of a lot of procedural rote learning and memorization. In his words, this resulted in a job “pressing buttons and staring out the window.” After all, with 57% of jobs changing as a result of automation, the increased use of algorithms or machines, pilots are not immune to technological changes in the future of work.
A recent report compiled by the New Zealand Airline Pilots Association stated that pilots needed to be “well educated (but not brilliant).” In short, pilots should be smart but it’s not essential for them to be that smart. After all, pilots are just people. Some have mental health issues, despite the various measures put in place to prevent them from operating aircraft. Some act in an inappropriate and emotionally-charged manner. Potentially due to increased automation, some are forgetting how to do their jobs. Both robots and humans are fallible. This has begged the question – what if we could move to a future where automation was advanced enough to outweigh the risk of that pesky potential of human error, or at least to reduce the ‘human’ element to flying?
Remember When There Were Five People on the Flight Deck?
If you flew on a commercial airliner in the 1950s, you could have expected a crew of five airmen operating your aircraft – two pilots, a flight engineer, a radio operator, and a navigator. By the time the 1960s rolled around, the radio operator and navigator were gone, and flight engineers were removed during the 1990s. It’s not unusual to have a crew of only two pilots – a Captain, and a First Officer – on flights up to around eight hours, where standard risk management regulation requires a third operating crew member to be on the plane. As you can imagine, this can result in a fair bit of time when there is only one pilot technically operating the aircraft – or at least on the flight deck – in light of inevitable bathroom breaks, leg-stretching walks, and controlled rest. It’s not such a stretch to think that, within the next ten years, airlines will want to think how they can reduce numbers further – and the possibility of a single-pilot cockpit is called into question.
The Robots Already Rule the Air
Automation already plays a massive part in aviation. The decline in flight deck crew numbers? It’s due, in a large part, to the rise of automated technologies that have eliminated many of the routine pilot functions of yesteryear. Most modern aircraft are controlled mainly by computers, with automatic flight management systems. The role of the pilot has been altered considerably, given the advancement and accuracy of these computerized systems. Pilots can, of course, take over the controls – but systems and processes are in place to allow aircraft to operate under considerable automation, and in fact, this has become the accepted norm for commercial aviation.
Why Would Airlines Entertain the Idea of the Single-Pilot Cockpit?
UBS has claimed that around USD $15 billion in savings could be achieved by airlines, annually, by using a single pilot cockpit. This ambitious figure does hint at a growing issue amongst airline operators – the cost of keeping all of those pilots flying.
As China continues to attract pilots by offering large, tax-free salaries, it’s becoming more difficult for a number of airlines to attract and retain pilots. The 2019 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook estimates that 804,000 new pilots will be needed to fly the projected aviation fleet over the next 20 years. That’s around an additional 19,000 pilots each year. Of course, these projections don’t yet take into account the potential impacts of single-pilot commercial airliners – which could be a massive shake-up for the industry.
What About Stick-And-Rudder Flying Skills?
Late last year, my article The Pilot Paradox discussed the concept of the Multi-Crew Pilot Licence (MPL), designed to get pilots operational faster than on a traditional Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) route. Premised on the concept that pilots intending to fly in a multi-crew cockpit environment should learn how to work in that environment from day one, it requires much less time spent manually operating a real aircraft, and more time in a simulator environment.
Apart from the obvious issue of a ‘multi-crew’ license in a world of single-pilot cockpits, the fact remains that all aviation training faces greater levels of automation than ever before. There is a greater emphasis on the utilization of emergent technologies at all levels of aviation training. While advancements in technology have, undoubtedly, made flying safer, there is a lingering question – how much manual handling should airline pilots continue to be taught?
When Automation Goes Awry
In October 2018, Lion Air flight 610 crashed, killing 189 people. In March 2019 Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed, killing 139 people. Both planes met their end in eerily similar circumstances, with an erroneous sensor—a sensor designed as a new safety measure aimed at preventing pilots from losing control—pushing the aircraft into a steep dive. The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) was put in place to account for design changes in the new 737 MAX, helping to stop the nose of the plane from pitching up due to the altered placement of its engines. Because of the very specific operating parameters under which Boeing expected it to activate, details on its usage were limited.
In November 2018, Boeing admitted that it had failed to include information on the MCAS in its training manuals for 737 MAX aircraft. However, even after manuals were updated, it was not enough to prevent the Ethopian Airlines crash in March 2019. In that case, it appeared to be a mixture of capability, training and technological design flaws that brought down the plane. What has resulted, therefore, is a mixed bag of questions: how safe are some of the ‘new’ automated technologies on aircraft? Are pilots gaining sufficient training to understand these systems, and to know how to cope when they fail?
Even though Boeing needs to respond to the issues surrounding the 737 MAX (an obvious one being the functionality of warning lights), questions are also being asked as to whether airlines are cutting corners in training. Some aviation industry figures argue that a shift in focus for pilot training has led to a decline in basic manual flying skills, which at a minimum would require the ability to manipulate the stick, rudder, and throttle to keep a plane at the correct speed, pitch, and altitude. In a 2017 video, Ed Wilson, Chief Pilot for Boeing, bragged that in just 2 1/2 hours of computer-based training, currently certified 737 pilots could be ready to transition to the 737 MAX. Would any airline believe this is sufficient?
When renowned pilot Chesley Sullenberger is weighing in on the question of automation and training, we should probably pay attention. The man who safely landed the ill-fated US Airways flight 1549 stated that “Pilots are not being told or taught everything they need to know about their airplanes.” His argument that automation requires an entirely new type of training holds weight, given the potential for overreliance on automated systems. He emphasized enhanced simulator training, as opposed to the current shift towards computer-based training. In June 2019, he stressed that it was unlikely that any airline pilot in the U.S. would have been taught how to deal with the warnings that arose leading up to the 737 MAX accidents. This is an important reflection, given some of the discussions about the potential poor quality of training of the airlines involved.
Aviation Is Safer Today Than It Has Ever Been. But What Can Improve?
Despite these accidents, commercial aviation is now safer than it has ever been. Between 2010 and 2019, just one person died on a U.S. commercial airliner. Around 100 people die every day in the U.S. from injuries sustained in car crashes. Aviation is safe. However, aviation is also big business, and there is room for improvement. Whether these improvements address financial performance or managing the risk of human error, there are plenty of motivators to explore automation in aviation.
In 2017, Airbus started trialing Vahana, self-piloted vehicles with a range of 50 miles. Airbus stated that they were aiming to take them—commercially—to the skies in the next ten years. The program saw its first test flight in February 2018, and by March 2019, had undertaken 50 flights—now moving towards the second iteration of its prototype.
At a briefing ahead of the Paris Air Show in 2017, Boeing announced it was investigating technologies for self-flying aircraft, noting that current aircraft can take off, cruise and land using automation. In November 2017, it acquired Aurora Flight Sciences, completing its first test flight of the Boeing NeXt in January 2019.
There are other ways that automation and A.I. might make flying safer. The use of biometric data, for one, is ensuring that greater oversight is being gained over those that take to the sky. An April 2019 conference on Vienna was held to understand how biometrics can support the UN Security Council Resolution 2396, a milestone decision in efforts to detect and prevent the movement of terrorists.
A Single Pilot Cockpit—the Game Changer?
In light of pilot shortages and increased demand for air travel, advancements in single-pilot cockpits could foment radical change. While rumors of the proposed 797 release at the Paris Air Show have not come to fruition, murmurings continue around single-pilot cockpits.
Jefferies Financial Group analysts have claimed that the 797 could come with a total redesign of the cockpit environment, potentially with one pilot flying the aircraft—and a second pilot monitoring the activities of several aircraft from the ground. While this could have been the big reveal expected at Paris, Boeing has plenty of other issues on its hands. It issued a statement confirming that its new midsize airplane will be based upon a twin-pilot premise. It will be a little longer before we can understand just how the major aircraft producers envisage the introduction of a single-pilot cockpit.
Will the Public Accept a Single Pilot?
Regardless of how you approach the question—humanity has a way to go before we are likely to accept autonomous, or near-autonomous, aircraft. Every incident of supposed ‘human-error’ begs us to question how we choose, and train, those allowed to shuttle us around the world. Despite this, most people simply aren’t in the headspace to accept an autonomous plane. In 2017, over 50% of people questioned by UBS stated they wouldn’t fly in an aircraft without a human pilot – even if fares were cheaper.
While trials for self-flying taxis continue, the fundamental shift required in our thinking to accept this type of approach to aviation is a much more difficult problem to overcome. Boeing’s Vice President of Research and Technology, Charles Toups, has noted that single-pilot technologies will likely be introduced into cargo operations first, and it would take several decades before we will see passenger operations being undertaken in single-pilot aircraft.
We might be averse to having a single-pilot cockpit on a passenger jet, but are we that opposed to having our cargo delivered by them and sharing our airspace? Time will tell, but at the pace that technology is progressing, it might happen sooner than you think.

‘This is the most sensible option in the wake of the current budget situation’, said Premier Joe Hockey. ‘Getting pensioners out of retirement and in to work is the only way we can afford to fly these planes’.
Doris Bikerdike, 68, of Taree Retirement Village, told The Moseff Report she was looking forward to a challenging new work environment.
‘The bastards are cutting me pension’, she exclaimed while slowly inhaling on a Holiday-brand cigarette in the car-park of the retirement village. ‘So this flying stuff’ll be me only option.’
The Defence Minister defended the decision to employ pensioners as fighter pilots, claiming that the planes are so error-prone it really wouldn’t matter who’s flying them. ‘By the time they’re delivered it will be the next Defence Minister’s problem’, he exclaimed.
Critics have questioned the government’s decision to spend 12 billion dollars on the fighter planes in the wake of the budget emergency, but the Defence minister is adamant their purchase is necessary for Australia’s defence capability.
‘It’s part of phase two of stopping the boats. We call it Operation Sovereign Borders Mark II: Aerial Assault. Shooting the boats out of the water is the best way to protect our shores’.
Hockey was keen to reassure Australians that the purchase of the fighter planes is the surest way to build up Australia’s defence capabilities. ‘The government hasn’t taken this decision lightly. We’ve explored all possible options. Clive Palmer expressed interest in buying one if he could fly it to his Palmersaurus resort.’
‘Unfortunately the only cockpit he fits inside is the House of Representatives’. | aerospace |

The 17.9 meter module will join Tianhe, China's first space station module launched in April 2021.
Wentian, weighing 23 tons, is the second of China's three modules with Mengtian, the third module, scheduled to launch in October to complete the T-shaped Tiangong space station which will be around 20% of the size of the International Space Station (ISS), which has a mass of about 460 tons.
Three astronauts of the Shenzhou 14 mission are currently aboard Tianhe waiting for the new module. Wentian's function is to house experiments that astronauts conduct in space and it also carries solar arrays and a new airlock for spacewalks.
The main module's robotic arm will be used to reposition Wentian to a side port at some time in the coming months, and Wentian's own robotic arm will be used to connect with the Tianhe arm. Earlier this year, China tested the necessary maneuvers using Tianzhou 3, a cargo spacecraft that delivered supplies to the space station to support an earlier crew mission. The spacecraft was released days ago to make way for the arrival of Wentian.
The country plans to keep the Tiangong space station permanently crewed for at least a decade, with each crew of three astronauts spending six months on board.

Since then, we’ve made leaps and bounds through many technological advances in aviation to break the sound barrier, reach hypersonic speeds, and fly with solar power. The aviation sector continues to grow fast and will continue to grow, with recent estimates suggesting that demand for air transport will increase by an average of 4.3% annually over the next 20 years. What can be done to keep up with growth and provide passengers with a safer and more extraordinary experience?
Like the autopilot allowed “man and machine” cooperation, intelligent automation can accelerate advances in airlines, airports, and aviation to further streamline capabilities and provide enhanced customer service and flight planning optimization.
Learn more from the following list of advances the aviation industry can make today with intelligent automation.
The Top 4 Intelligent Automation Advances for Airlines, Airports and Aviation
Airlines partner with a variety of international travel agencies and vendors to sell airline tickets and offer passenger programs to get us from point A to point B and beyond. The invoices airlines receive come from many international and domestic suppliers in various formats, and processing the volume of these invoices manually, without error, takes too much time and effort.
Airlines are seeing great success in automating the receipt, processing, approval, and logging of their invoices. Invoice processing automation can also be configured to normalize unstructured data.
A Norwegian airport operator only had 80 staff members and needed a way to process more invoices with the same number of people. By leveraging automation, they worked through 100,000 invoices annually, gaining 90% efficiency, equaling three additional full-time employees.
In 2020, U.S. airlines received 102,550 complaints, a 568% increase from 2019. COVID, labor shortages, and scheduling contributed to this astronomical rise, and the airlines needed a way to sort, categorize, and address those grievances.
Airlines and airports can use intelligent automation, natural language processing (NLP), and optical character recognition (OCR) to read complaints and classify them by type and priority. Based on categorization, the issue can be routed to the appropriate customer service staff member, and a ticket can be opened for tracking and customer satisfaction follow-up.
Lufthansa uses NLP, intelligent automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) to better understand the intent and context of complaints and to sort and route complaints to the correct department for processing.
Air Traffic Congestion
The movie “Pushing Tin” shows us that air traffic controllers and their support systems can run up against some severely difficult decisions and scenarios. More seamless and efficient streamlining of the movement of airplanes can help alleviate some of these difficulties.
Heathrow Airport uses machine learning and robotics process automation (RPA) to share flight data for each airplane in real time to calculate the most efficient distance that each must maintain prior to landing on the runway. This increases the number of aircraft that can land and minimizes the chance of collisions during unseen events such as strong headwinds.
To go beyond what is done at Heathrow, artificial intelligence and machine learning can integrate with the Future Air Traffic Management Concepts Evaluation Tool (FACET) data to overlay unit demands, capacities, weather, and ATC staffing with predictive modeling of delays and optimization to distribute takeoffs, landings, and ground holds. This creates an optimal utilization of runway, ground, and air space. Intelligent automation can prescribe actions to coordinate or instantaneously gather data for further analysis.
Predictive Maintenance for Aircraft
“Seeing is believing” is a very human saying. When it comes to aircraft maintenance, advances in technology could limit the need for detailed borescope inspections. With the Internet of things (IoT) sensor data and maintenance logs, we can use sound at levels beyond human hearing to predict maintenance needs in advance.
The predictive maintenance (PdM) market size is projected to reach $26.58B by 2028 from $5.31B in 2021.
Boeing and Airbus launched predictive maintenance tools in 2017. Collins Aerospace established its predictive maintenance tool that shows a 30% decrease in potential delays and cancellations related to components and systems monitored on the Boeing 777 fleet. Intelligent automation is the technology that consolidates the sensor data, analyzes and reports its findings, and schedules the needed maintenance.
The Future of Aviation
Airlines, airports, and aviation can greatly benefit from the value provided by intelligent automation and advanced technology. We can easily go beyond the top use cases listed in this article and dive into cabin crew scheduling, pilot support, or irregular operations handling. Despite obstacles due to the sheer size and magnitude of the global aviation economy, a fully AI-enabled future in aviation is possible, and it starts with intelligent automation. Where are you in your automation journey?

It is no secret that worldwide commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS)—aka drones—are emerging as a competitive technology in a number of data collection scenarios. As global businesses begin to weigh the benefits of what drones can do better, faster, and more safely than people or conventional aircraft, they are also beginning to weigh the risks and liabilities of owning drones versus hiring or contracting with drone services. Whether you choose to own or hire drones, the issues are similar and compelling.
The complexity of that task grows when you consider integrating data from drones into existing enterprise business processes and facing data governance requirements. It becomes even more complex when you look beyond business policy and look at the regulatory requirements.
For example, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) considers drones that are used commercially to be aircraft and therefore subjects them to all the same regulations as manned aircraft, which creates obligations for which non- aviation companies may not be prepared. If you want to own a drone or fleet of drones, then you will need a licensed pilot, an aircraft airworthiness certificate, a flight plan, FAA approval to fly, a flight log, and more, not to mention insurance.
In short, use of commercial drones brings a host of complicated business requirements – particularly if you’re trying to integrate them into an existing enterprise to capture aerial data while maintaining compliance with FAA regulations.
Is your business ready to handle this complexity?
More important, do you have the critical software infrastructure to manage the addition of drones to your business operations?

The Malawian carrier on June 17 launched three flights a week to Dubai compared to the current two offered by Air Zimbabwe.
The Dubai route, which has proved lucrative for other airlines, has yet to generate revenue for the national airline. On its maiden flight, Air Zimbabwe managed to carry only 49 passengers, far below the required break-even load of 60 on its long haul plane.
It only managed to carry one passenger on its return flight from the Emirate city on its 260-seater Boeing 767.
In addition to Dubai, which was introduced as part of the airline’s “Look East” policy, Air Zimbabwe has been flying to Singapore and China.
The airline is yet to launch its service to Bangkok, Thailand, which had been scheduled for May 20. Airline staff say the company management had reviewed the route after the poor performance of the other flights to Asia.
Air Zimbabwe like all parastatals has been battling to operate viably with the company surviving on funds allocated for its operations through the national fiscus.
The company’s chief executive officer, Tendai Mahachi, recently denied the airline had benefited from funds under the Productive Sector Facility.
The airline had been reported as the largest beneficiary under the facility with $1,1 trillion dollars having been availed by the central bank as part of its turnaround strategy.
Fortunes for the national carrier further dipped when its Boeing 737 made an emergency landing in Johannesburg after encountering technical problems injuring six people on board.
Air Zimbabwe is currently in partnership with Air Malawi on the Lubumbashi route. But it will now be competing on a route where a number of African airlines are well established, observers say. | aerospace |

Saab presented the first six production Gripen E planes to the Swedish and Brazilian air forces, a landmark event that also saw the two countries discuss further cooperation and development.
One of the most versatile Generation 4.5 light fighter jets in service, the Swedish JAS-39 Gripen E / F has made strides in the international market. This is the further development of the original Gripen, equipped with the latest cutting edge avionics of the 21st century.
âThese deliveries are an important part of strengthening our capabilities and the defense of Sweden. The JAS 39 E Gripen will increase Sweden’s defense capability, allowing us to build a stronger and tactically superior air force for every situation, âsaid Major General Carl-Johan Edström, Army Commander Swedish air.
Of the society Press release also mentioned that the authorities had also shown the Gripen simulator, the production of planes and the test facilities of Saab. Of the 6 aircraft, 4 should be delivered to the Brazilian Air Force while the remaining 2 are reserved for the Swedish forces.
âThis shows that we have a mature product and that we are fulfilling our contractual obligations,â said Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab.
The JAS-39 E / F is also one of the most technologically superior multirole fighter jets, developed over the original variants of the JAS-39 C / D. The aircraft made its first sortie in 1988 and was accepted into service in 1996.
This is a delta and duck wing setup with digital electric flight controls and a relaxed stability design. The Gripen-E / F, formerly known as Gripen-NG (ânew generationâ) is capable of reaching speeds of Mach 2.
The main changes from the C variant to the new E variant involve a new GE-F414G engine, AESA radar (Raven ES-05), increased internal fuel capacity (almost 40% increase), new and improvised avionics and an electronic warfare suite, and greater payload capacities.
Saab has been relatively open compared to other companies in terms of technology transfer and setting up local productions and collaborations. In addition, the aircraft claims to have the lowest operating and maintenance costs while benefiting from modern avionics comparable or even superior to its contemporaries on the international market.
Much like Lockheed Martin’s offering of F-16 versions to its customers, Saab also offers a greater level of customization for its customers. This includes access to source code and technical documentation, allowing the integration of a variety of ammunition already in use by a country’s air force. This makes the Gripen a âprogrammableâ aircraft, giving the aircraft space for potential upgrades in the future.
The Gripen’s new generation armament also makes it a preferred choice. It was the first aircraft to carry the deadly Meteor air-to-air missile beyond visual range. It can carry just about all modern munitions developed by the West, including IRIS-T, AIM-9X, A-Darter, MICA, AIM-120 air-to-air missiles, and a variety of air-to-surface and guided missiles. bombs.
The aircraft is also one of the main competitors in India’s new tender for multirole fighter jets, and Saab has also Free full technology transfer and local production for Gripen-E. However, its heavy dependence on foreign components was the reason for its rejection by New Delhi, which opted for French by Dassault Rafale. | aerospace |

At approximately 10:00 a.m. on June 13, 2014, the Princeton Fire Department and the Colusa County Sheriff’s Department was dispatched to a possible airplane crash at the end of Paradise Road.
Upon arriving on the scene, emergency personnel found Michaud walking around the crashed aircraft.
“The pilot had taken off when he began experiencing a loss of power,” said Colusa County Sergeant Neil Pearson, “the pilot determined it was unsafe to continue and made an emergency landing.”
Michaud’s plane came to rest at the edge of an irrigation ditch, with its wing was partly sub-merged in the water and was releasing small amounts of fuel.
Emergency crews were able to safely extract the plane from the irrigation ditch, and the Colusa County Environmental Health was able to contain the fuel spillage.
The plane had just been loaded with a dry fertilizer prior to takeoff. No fertilizer was released, as a result, of the crash.
This is the first airplane crash in Colusa County for this year. | aerospace |

So, when I heard about a documentary about the space program that I hadn’t seen before, and one that was coming out from the Criterion Collection, I had to check it out.
Using footage from all the Apollo missions (plus a bit of the Gemini missions), the film depicts the journey from Earth to the Moon, to the explorations of the Lunar surface, to finally the trip back home. All of this is accompanied with interview audio from various astronauts in the Apollo program discussing the program, and what it felt like to go to the moon.
The film does an excellent job of showing what the trip from the Earth to the Moon, and what the lunar surface was like. Both through remastered versions of film footage that we’ve seen before, and footage that the public hasn’t seen before. In many ways, this is the most captivating way I’ve seen this footage before – re-mastered and looking like feature film footage, instead of the fuzzy film footage that we’ve all seen in the past.
The trip home from the moon gets kind of brushed over, which is kind of disappointing. I understand from a visual standpoint it’s pretty much the same, but from a psychological standpoint it would be interesting to hear in the interview audio what it was like to come back from the Moon, especially those who were on the Apollo 11 and 12 missions.
Watching this after having watched all of HBO’s series From the Earth to the Moon, I feel that while the movie does a good job of showing each stage of the journey to the Moon, I feel that the time-line of the Apollo program is so captivating – the process of preparing for the final landing and preparation for the actual science to be done on the trip. The movie doesn’t have much of that prep, and we barely see any of the Science being done. This is a deliberate decision by the director, but one I don’t totally agree with totally. At the very least, I feel watching some of the science being done would be really captivating, and would give me, as a fan of the space program, a fan of science and space science, and as a layman, it would give me a better idea of what the process was like. On the other hand, as depicted in the movie, the geological process of getting moon rocks can be described as “What a pretty rock, we’ll take that one.”
This is, frankly, an excellent documentary. If you are interested in the space program at all, especially the Apollo missions, you really need to watch this movie – especially on Blu-Ray if you’ve got a Blu-Ray player. | aerospace |

An ESA cleanroom was turned into a hall of mirrors to test the laser-based measuring system that will maintain the pair in position for hours at a time.
“Due to launch in 2024, Proba-3 is ESA’s precision formation flying mission,” comments Damien Galano, ESA’s Proba-3 project manager. “By maintaining their relative position against one another for up to six hours per orbit at a nominal 144 m apart, the ‘Occulter’ spacecraft will cast a shadow onto its ‘Coronagraph’ counterpart to form an artificial solar eclipse in space, so that the Sun’s faint outer atmosphere or corona can be studied freely.
“But the satellite pair requires a sophisticated metrology system to hold them in position – and we needed to test the flight hardware of the most precise element of this multi-faceted system, the laser-based ‘fine optical metrology’ system.”.
The project requested support from the Metrology Laboratory of ESA’s ESTEC Test Centre in the Netherlands, part of the largest satellite test facility in Europe, operated for the Agency by European Test Services. The Lab’s Ramon Vink explains: “Our challenge was to find a cleanroom long enough to encompass the full range of distances involved for the laser and its retroreflector, as far as 250 m apart.”
The team settled on the Vacuum Test Chamber-1.5 cleanroom, adds Steven Sablerolle of the Metrology Lab: “At 60 m in length the VTC-15 cleanroom was too small, so instead they installed a folding array of mirrors that could bounce the laser beam around the chamber to cross the full range of distance required.”
Jorg Versluys, Proba-3 System Engineer, says: “The Test Centre’s Metrology Lab assisted us in precisely aligning and mapping the mirrors’ positions, using their own laser trackers. The test campaign took about six weeks, mostly during the night to minimize unwanted disturbances from the rest of the busy site – even a lorry driving past on the road outside might show up in our results. This testing marked the first time the various parts of this fine optical metrology system were operated together, but the results were right in line with our previous models.”
For the testing, Proba-3’s laser-generating optic head was integrated onto the mission’s optic bench, then placed on a granite table for maximum stability. The laser was shone onto a laser retroreflector – which is a special kind of mirror, resembling reflective ‘cat’s eyes’ on a motorway, that possesses carefully-designed internal reflectivity to bounce back the laser light in the exact same direction that it has come from .
A photo diode on the optic head then recognizes reflected laser light to calculate the number of wave oscillations the light has taken to bounce back, to derive its precise travel time and therefore the distance between the two satellites. A second detector, a 2D array, acquires the lateral position of the reflected laser beam to identify the lateral displacement of the retroreflector relative to the optic head.
This is the most precise of multiple metrology methods employed by the two Proba-3 satellites, each one around a cubic meter in scale. A continuous inter-satellite radio link is supplemented by Global Navigation Satellite System receivers. When the satellites come less than 250 m apart then cameras on the Occulter spacecraft will image and detect LEDs mounted on the Coronagraph spacecraft. Then the laser-based system will come into use to maintain precise satellite alignment.
“Our testing allowed us to map just how the metrology system responds as the target moves slightly up or down or side to side,” adds Jorg. “So we’ve ended up with a complete database of the two units’ movement down to pixels per millimeter scale that we can employ for real when we reach space.”
Proba-3’s laser operates at an infrared wavelength, invisible to the naked eye. So this photograph was actually acquired as a long exposure in infrared, with the path of the beam gradually traced using a sheet of white paper. The beam seen in the photo is where the paper scatters the infrared light of the laser beam. | aerospace |

Tuvalu has an exclusive agreement with Air Fiji as the sole airline that operates between Fiji and Tuvalu. This means that to travel overseas, you have to go through Fiji.
Towards the end of last year, 2017, the Government of the Republic of Kiribati decided to open up a new air link to enable Tuvaluans to have a new option to exit to other overseas countries. This is through the operation of its national carrier, Air Kiribati Limited.
Thus, a Kiribati Government delegation which included Air Kiribati high officials arrived in Tuvalu to discuss with government about opening up a new air link between Tuvalu and Kiribati. This air link will also provide a new exit for Tuvalu travelers to continue further to other overseas countries like, Australia, New Zealand, other Pacific countries and also Asia, Europe and the Americas.
(Members of the delegation from Kiribati at the Funafuti Lagoon Hotel and Rev Dr. Kitiona Tausi)
The Kiribati delegation met with government officials and an Air Service Agreement was signed which allow Air Kiribati to operate between Tuvalu and Kiribati. The commercial agreement that will detail the operation is yet to be discussed between the Tuvalu Government and the Air Kiribati Limited. If everything goes well, it is possible that the inaugural flight between Kiribati and Tuvalu may take place in February or in early March 2018.
Air Kiribati plans to operate its new aircraft, DASH 8 that can carry a maximum capacity of 37 passengers and freights. The Government of Kiribati has also a plan to operate to Fiji and negotiations with the Government of Fiji is continuing. If this arrangement is successful, it is possible that Air Kiribati will have a much lower airfare compared to what Air Fiji is levying.

You may need to coordinate airport pickups, or just want the peace of mind knowing the flight is on schedule. There are several apps to help with that, but you don’t need them. With iOS 15, you can track flights in Messages.
Get Flight Information in Messages
All you need to track flights and preview the airplane’s path is the Messages app on your iPhone and the flight number. You’ll be able to get the plane’s current status on an interactive map, along with departure and arrival gates and times. You’ll also see any delays and, for some airports, baggage claim information.
It’s all done using the data detectors that have been around since iOS 9 and macOS High Sierra, at least. If you send or receive a text using iMessages containing a flight number, you’ll see it underlined.
To make sure it works, you or your loved one should include the full airline name (like United Airlines, Delta Airlines, etc.) along with the flight number. If you know the IATA prefix of the airline, you can use it instead. In this case, Delta Airlines flight 394 would be DL394.
Tap and hold the underlined text, and a menu allows you to preview the flight or copy the flight code. Before even making a selection, though, you can see the progress of the flight if it’s in the air.
It Works On Your Mac, Too
This same feature will also work on the Mac, by the by. Just click the underlined flight number and away you go. On top of that, you can enter the flight number into Spotlight. Both iOS and macOS will quickly look up the flight data you want. As a reminder, you access Spotlight with Command-Space on macOS. On iOS, swipe down on an empty part of the screen. | aerospace |

The 2009 NASA Research Announcement was utilized to solicit and select proposals to gather data to increase understanding as to the etiology of IVD injury due to spaceflight. Once data are collected to describe spaceflight effects on IVD morphology and the contribution from risk factors, the data will be presented to the Human System Risk Forum to decide if countermeasures need to be developed.
Present state of knowledge
There is an increased incidence of back pain expressed by crewmembers in space. In addition, herniated IVDs have been diagnosed in returning astronauts (both short-duration and long-duration) on landing day, and after varying periods of time in the postflight period. Such injuries in astronauts, however, may be related to their careers as aviators (either high performance jet pilots and/or helicopter pilots), although a recent probability assessment for disc herniation in astronauts, presented at a Human Research Program Investigator Workshop (2015) revealed that demographics (gender, height, weight) or previous career as a high performance jet pilot influenced the risk., The evidence of IVD injuries, however, raises the concern that astronauts may be at increased risk during exploration missions following a prolonged sojourn.
Mechanical unloading with space flight is associated with distortions in IVD morphology, with alterations in biochemistry (proteoglycan and collagen content) and with reduced biomechanical forces of muscles. Collectively, reports in the literature suggest that adaptation to the space environment can directly or indirectly induce back pain and may increase the risk for injury when crewmembers are re-subjected to gravity enhanced mechanical forces and torques. Back pain is commonly reported by crewmembers during spaceflight and a chart review of 321 astronauts revealed an increased risk for IVD injury in astronauts following spaceflight, when compared to age-matched control subjects. This review suggests that astronauts may be at increased risk for injury during exploration missions. Space-adapted IVDs might be at risk for injury when reloaded during the performance of mission tasks or when subjected to high G forces with entry and landing; this in-mission risk, however, has not been well defined due to limited descriptions of spaceflight-induced changes to the intervertebral unit.
Integration/Unique Aspects: Data share with Spinal Ultrasound (Dulchavsky PI) study.
1. Determine the accuracy of musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound in characterizing the normal and microgravity associated changes in the vertebral unit.
2. Investigate the human factors, level of experience, and training necessary to perform focused cervical and lumbar vertebral MSK ultrasound in microgravity with inexperienced ultrasound operators in parallel with expert operators.
3. Determine the anatomic changes in the vertebral unit during long duration spaceflight with astronaut performed vertebral ultrasound.
Integration/Unique Aspects: Data share with IVD post-spaceflight study (Hargens PI).
The Disk Damage Countermeasure study will validate the intervention (TBD) identified in the Disk Damage Assessment study as part of the HHC Integrated Countermeasure Suite.

These balloons create a very strange appearance in the early-morning sky, especially to those on the ground never having experienced this show in the past. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Balloon Classic Invitational, and additional activities over the ballooning weekend include:
- *Some pilots will compete in a team format for a prize package valued at $19,000, while others will fly "fiesta" in a non-competitive format.
- *All will participate in a $3,000 Pole Grab where the pilots will maneuver their balloons over a pole erected on the launch field and attempt to grab the cash from the top of the pole.
- *19 pilots will participate in the "Night Glow" on Friday at 9:45 p.m., when they illuminate their balloon envelopes while tethered at the launch field.
- *The Balloon Education Area, sponsored by Uncrustables, will provide a special opportunity for adults and children to enter a fully inflated balloon envelope and learn about the envelope, balloon basket and burners.

In the aerospace industry we commonly work with stainless, titanium, inconel, and aluminum alloys. Their shapes are most often bar and plate with forgings and castings also thrown into the mix.
The parts sizes are typically between a basketball and a grape.
Sheet Metal Fabrication has been on offer from ATD for over 50 years.
At first the all of the profiles and bends were created using die sets.
Once lasers were brought into our mix in the 1980s our ability to make complex profiles combined with our bending knowledge enabled us to tackle any aerospace bracket.
Everyone has to produce parts that meet requirements. Otherwise customers would quickly leave.
A CMM (coordinate measuring machine) allows us to measure parts quicker and more accurately than hand and table tools. Automated CMMs are yet another step above that allow us (once programmed) to set the part on the table and let the machine inspect quicker than human hands could ever do.
ATD offers laser cutting and drilling of both large and small components in a 5-axis environment.
If your part has complex contours that require hole patterns placed with exacting GD&T we are the solution.
This part is a simple example of combining a CNC machined component with a sheet metal component by welding them together. All of these processes are done within ATD.

January 09, 2018
According to The Army Times, the military is exploring how to deploy autonomous robot swarms of “250 or more drones” under the control of Army or Marine light infantry units on the battlefield.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is currently engaged in a multi-stage program intended to develop “offensive swarm-enabled tactics.” The project combines air and ground robots in the most complex battlefield imaginable: urban spaces.
According to the report:
The teams will experiment with the technology to make swarm capabilities real. Other competitors will then use the architecture to focus on one of five areas—swarm tactics, swarm autonomy, human-swarm teaming, virtual environment and physical testbed …
The first sprint, which accepted applications through last November, will look at generating swarm tactics for a mixed swarm of 50 air and ground robots to “isolate an urban objective within an area of two square city blocks over a mission duration of 15 to 30 minutes.”
The report notes the Defense Department has been working on swarm drone technology for nearly two years. China held a demonstration of the same in June that slightly surpassed the numbers of the 2016 U.S. test. | aerospace |

The Ace Air Cargo Beechcraft 1900 went down Friday morning about 20 miles from Dillingham, in Southwest Alaska. Alaska Air National Guard rescuers in a helicopter and plane searched that afternoon but were unable to find the crash site in thick clouds and, later that night, snowfall. Early Saturday, a crew spotted the plane broken into three parts, a spokeswoman for the Alaska State Troopers said. The HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter landed about 6 a.m., and its crew recovered two bodies, the Guard said.
Troopers identified the pilot as Jeff Day, 38, and the copilot as Neil Jensen, 21. Both were Anchorage residents. The bodies were flown to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and taken to the state medical examiner's office in Anchorage, troopers said.
The twin-engine plane was making the flight from King Salmon to Dillingham, about 70 miles to the northwest, Friday morning, according to Ace Air Cargo.
The Beechcraft failed to land after its crew announced their approach to the airport in Dillingham. The Federal Aviation Administration issued an alert that it was overdue at about 8:30 a.m. Friday. At about 9:15 a.m., an emergency locator beacon started transmitting from the Muklung Hills, 20 miles northeast of Dillingham, according to a troopers spokeswoman, who described the area as mountainous.
A plane crash in the Muklung Hills in August 2010 claimed five lives, including that of former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.
A Dillingham-based trooper tried to reach the downed plane Friday by snowmachine but turned back due to poor weather. Rescue crews in a Pave Hawk and an HC-130 refueling plane arrived about 2 p.m. and started searching in the general vicinity of the beacon's signal, picked up by satellite, according to Kalei Rupp, spokeswoman for the Alaska Air National Guard. The searchers were unable to close in on the specific location of the plane without a more direct signal from the beacon -- possibly due to terrain blocking it or damage to the transmitter -- and because of the clouds obscuring their view, Rupp said. Snow started to fall that night, increasing the risk of icing on the aircraft, she said.
The first crews returned to base to rest, and fresh pararescuemen and combat rescue officers took their place in the helicopter and plane, Rupp said. The searchers were equipped with night-vision goggles and forward-looking infrared sensors and continued through the night, she said. They spotted the wreckage at 6:05 a.m. and were soon pulling the two men from the plane, she said.
"They were able to land nearby. At the request of Alaska State Troopers, because there was concern of possible incoming inclement weather, we recovered the bodies and brought them back to JBER," Rupp said.
National Transportation Safety Board investigators flew to the crash site in a helicopter Saturday to examine the debris, which they found on the south side of the Muklung Hills at about 2,000 feet, another NTSB investigator, Clint Johnson, said.
"It's badly fragmented and in three sections. It's strewn over a considerable distance there," Johnson said. "They were able to complete the on-scene portion of the investigation. What comes next is recovering the wreckage."
A helicopter was on standby in Dillingham, and Ace Air Cargo managers hoped the chopper could get to the plane sometime in the coming days, depending on the weather, Johnson said.
"There was a fair amount of cargo on board, so they wanted to get that cargo and mail recovered as soon as possible," he said.
Peter Jensen, the 21-year-old copilot's father, described his son Neil as a hardworking, honest and compassionate man in his dream job and intent on flying jets someday. Neil graduated from Service High School and earned a degree in aeronautical science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona, Peter Jensen said. He got the job as a copilot working for Ace in late November or early December, his father said.
"He liked it. He liked the pilots. He liked the flying. I've never seen him as happy as he was in the last month," Peter said. "It just seemed like everything was coming together for him."
Peter said he and his wife, as well as Neil's older sister and younger brother, were heartbroken. Still, Peter said, he did not blame his son's chosen profession.
"It's a tragic accident. I don't think it was any more dangerous than driving on an icy road," Peter said. "I'm glad he was doing what he wanted to do, and he seemed to be really enjoying it. I'm sad that he's dead, and I'll miss him a lot, but it could have just as easily been a car wreck."

Two pilots, three flight attendants and 96 passengers were onboard.
No injuries were reported.

— Joe Bruno (@JoeBrunoWSOC9) June 28, 2023
A passenger, who was not identified, told WSOC that crewmembers said there was an issue with the plane’s landing gear and instructed those onboard to review safety information.
“We came in low once and then climbed again,” the passenger said. “Second time had us brace but the landing was smooth. No jarring or even loud noises. We were in the back so that may have been why.”
The passenger told WSOC that everyone evacuated the plane on its evacuation slides.
“Crew and pilots were wonderful!” they added.
Delta apologized to passengers in a statement obtained by WSOC and said they will focus next on helping those onboard get their luggage and to their final destinations.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people,” airline officials said. “While this is a rare occurrence, Delta flight crews train extensively to safely manage through many scenarios and flight 1092 landed safely without reported injuries.”
Crews were working to move the plane off the runway on Wednesday morning.

The US Air Force successfully launched it’s X-37B space plane into orbit this week using an Atlas 5 rocket. The launch had been delayed several times with the Air Force saying “final approvals” were still pending.
The vehicle is around a quarter of the size of the space shuttle, and previous missions have lasted hundreds of days, with the re-useable craft landing on runways each time.
Reports and speculation on the purpose of the X-37B range from “testing advanced spy satellite sensors” to “Earth observation, surveillance or spying, or perhaps deploying a satellite”. A report earlier this year ended rumors that it was being used to spy on a prototype Chinese space module, by pointing out that the two spacecraft were in completely different orbits. | aerospace |

The NSSA is focused on harnessing space technologies for national development, promoting space science and applications, developing advanced space research programmes, capacity building in specialised fields, and creating a new space sector in the Kingdom.
The NSSA is also eager to play a role in protecting the environment and helping the Kingdom to achieve SDGs linked with its Vision 2030.
The NSSA works closely with ministries across the Kingdom, identifying their needs, and providing enhanced space-based technology services for governance and development. It also works alongside universities to advance research and development in space sciences.
The NSSA and the University of Bahrain (UOB) signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the use of an electronic application enhanced by artificial intelligence and algorithms to locate oil spills in the Gulf region.
UOB researcher Dr. Fatima Abdul Qadir Al Balushi is implementing the project by designing an application that uses satellite images and data obtained from remote sensing satellites to detect oil spills.
Oil spills are one of the main factors that cause pollution in the Arabian Gulf environment, negatively affect its ecosystem, and harm marine life. Being able to identify and discover these spills promptly will enable the competent authorities to address them and prevent their spread.
A scientific thesis presented at the University of Bahrain has called for the creation of a geographical database that uses space science and artificial intelligence applications to monitor green spaces and agricultural areas, and predict their growth and decline rates.
Ebrahim Al Burshaid, a student at the University of Bahrain, submitted the thesis as part of the requirements for his master’s degree in engineering management. The thesis was able to achieve integration between the employment of space science, artificial intelligence techniques, and geographic information systems in developing an applicable economic solution in Bahrain to monitor agricultural lands and bridge the information gap in the field. This highlights the importance of adopting artificial intelligence techniques in the Kingdom and investing in space science.
The first Bahraini satellite is expected to be launched to the International Space Station during the third quarter of 2021, while the last quarter of the year will witness the launch of the satellite from the station into space.
The satellite will help implement projects related to IoT (monitoring of gas emissions from factories), utilising AI technologies and their applications in the field of remote sensing.
Through this satellite, the NSSA will generate data related to the environment, agriculture, and our climate, which enable the Kingdom to better utilise information and develop its big data analysis capabilities.

NASA studies Earth, its climate, the Sun, the solar system, and many more STEM topics. Recently, NASA has had an increased focus on climate change, even as it plans to send humans to Mars in this decade. NASA is adjusting its procurement strategy to be more cost-efficient by moving away from cost-plus contracts and to reduce redundant contracts by acquiring agency-wide when possible.
History, Mission, and Organization
NASA conducts research, testing, and development to advance aeronautics by developing and funding space technologies that will enable future exploration and benefit life on Earth. Its mission is to “explore the unknown in air and space, innovate for the benefit of humanity, and inspire the world through discovery.” NASA shares its knowledge to enable future exploration and benefit life worldwide, supporting education efforts in STEM and allowing companies to use NASA discoveries and technologies to develop new products for the public. It also maintains U.S. leadership in the space economy by aggressively pursuing critical technology gaps and global space technology leadership. NASA’s Core Values are safety, inclusion, integrity, teamwork, and excellence, with an emphasis on increasing diversity in the workforce.
Headquartered in D.C., NASA has about 18,000 employees and supports 312,000 external jobs. Each of its twenty centers and facilities throughout the United States is maintained by contractors who provide technical and business operations services. NASA also has the only National Laboratory in space. Above and below are map of NASA’s centers and facilities and its agency organization.
NASA in Action
NASA generated $64.3B in total economic output in FY19. Here are some of the activities that NASA has recently undertaken.
Artemis Mission: NASA has been working with U.S. industry, international partners, and academia to bring to life the Moon to Mars exploration approach. The Artemis Mission began in 2017, looking to establish bases in lunar orbit and on the Moon’s surface. Using both NASA and commercial launch systems, NASA is developing new technology to send science research and later humans to the Moon that will assist in achieving a human presence on Mars. The Lunar Gateway, Orion, and human landing system are incorporated into these efforts as well. NASA plans to have humans on the Moon by 2025, although this date has already been pushed back from 2024. The Artemis Program hopes to land the first woman and person of color on the Moon.
Pulse Pendant: The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is funded by NASA and managed by the California Institute of Technology, designed a 3D-printed device worn around your neck to alert you when you are about to touch your face. Using an infrared proximity sensor and vibration motor, the Pulse Pendant can help stop the spread of COVID-19 and other illnesses. It is made using simple and affordable technology that is openly available for others to reproduce.
X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology Aircraft : NASA’s Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley has been researching technology for future commercial aircraft for years, and this vision became an official project in 2010. NASA and its partners have developed a plane that can fly faster than the speed of sound, hypothetically cutting travel time in half. NASA expects to test fly the plane over communities in 2024 to see how the public perceives the quiet noise. Lockheed Martin Skunk Works finalized the design and tested it at Ames, and it is also collaborating with NASA to create a database of computational fluid dynamics that will supply data to train pilots. Looking ahead, new sound-based rules will be necessary for supersonic flight over land to minimize the impact of the sonic thump noise, and there are already plans to address this in 2027.
Earth System Observatory: NASA is executing Earth-focused missions to collect and provide information about climate change, natural hazards, forest fires, and agricultural processes. This information will be used to guide policy on climate change. Satellites will create a 3D holistic view of Earth using two kinds of radar that can measure changes in Earth’s surface to less than a half-inch, meaning that NASA will be able to measure ice-sheet collapse and natural hazards. The Earth System Observatory is focusing on topics such as aerosols, cloud convection and precipitation, mass change, surface biology and geology, and surface deformation and change. NASA partnered with the Indian Space Research Organization to launch this project.
Contract Procurement and Acquisition
NASA is a notoriously difficult agency to break into as a contractor, boasting a strong safety and data-driven culture. NASA encourages competition and external partnerships that bring about innovation and entrepreneurship and works with universities, small businesses, industry, emerging commercial entities, individual innovators, international partners, and other government agencies.
Procurement and grant activities are managed through NASA’s Office of Procurement (OP), Office of Small Business Programs (OSBP), and the Science Mission Directorate (SMD). OP oversees the acquisition process and ensures agency compliance with the FAR and the NASA FAR Supplement; within OP, NASA’s Shared Services Center provides procurement services agency-wide. OSBP manages a proactive outreach program to encourage small business awareness and participation. The OSBP NASA Vendor Database (NVDB) is open to all vendors who want to work with NASA and a transparent vendor list is posted monthly. SMD awards over a thousand grants per year. The NASA Vendor Communication Plan outlines a communication framework for vendor engagement with OP during the acquisition cycle.
NASA uses contracts to take advantage of academia and the private sector for insights into NASA’s activities. Below are some of the recent contracts NASA has awarded.
Exploration Extravehicular Activity Services: A firm-fixed-price contract valued at $3.5B was awarded to Axiom Space, Inc. in June 2022 to demonstrate an Extravehicular Activity (EVA) system, including a spacesuit, tools, and interface equipment in an analogous environment. The contract is intended to support the International Space Station, Artemis, and advanced human spaceflight. NASA is transitioning from a government-owned hardware model to an “EVA as a service” model, and similar contracts are expected in the future.
Microgravity Flight Services: NASA acquired space on commercial flights to fly technology payloads and human operators on flight platforms that have reduced gravity needed to test the technology. This Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) 5-year contract is worth $7.5M. Zero-Gravity Corporation won this total small business set-aside contract in September 2021.
Test, Evaluation and Support Team 3 (TEST3): In July 2021, Sierra Lobo, Inc. won an IDIQ contract with cost-plus-award-fee and firm-fixed-price task orders for continued test and operations support at the Johnson Space Center’s White Sands Test Facility and other locations. Sierra Lobo, Inc. is providing expertise and infrastructure for propulsion testing; propellants, aerospace fluids, materials, and components testing; hypervelocity impact testing; flight hardware processing; technical services; training; safety; quality assurance; facility maintenance and operation; construction management; and emergency services. This contract is a follow-on to the TEST2 contract and has a $400M ceiling with a five-year period of performance.
Contract Spending Trends
NASA spends about 78% of its budget on acquiring goods and services. The following pie charts and table depict the breakdown of FY21 awards by contractor type and business classification. This data encompasses contracts, grants, and other procurement activities.
With businesses receiving the majority of awards in FY21, large businesses took home 64.8% of total procurement dollars, but small businesses made up 39% of total actions.
NASA in 2022 and Beyond
NASA’s Strategic Plan for FY22-FY26 centered around four themes:
- Discover: Expand Human Knowledge through New Scientific Discoveries
- Explore: Extend Human Presence to the Moon and on towards Mars for Sustainable Long-term Exploration, Development, and Utilization
- Innovate: Catalyze Economic Growth and Drive Innovation to Address National Challenges
- Advance: Enhance Capabilities and Operations to Catalyze Current and Future Mission Success
It reflects space-specific policy guidance provided by the U.S. Space Council and the United States Space Priorities Framework.
The Strategic Plan aligns with the following Biden-Harris Administration priorities:
- strengthening the United States’ global leadership in space and aeronautics;
- tackling the climate crisis;
- building a sustainable human presence at the Moon and continuing human exploration on towards Mars;
- spurring innovation that builds back better and creates jobs;
- leading an alliance of international partners to enhance cooperation in space and stimulate commercial activities in low Earth orbit; and
- advancing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility in a way that inspires present and future generations.
This plan seeks to answer five Priority Questions as well:
- How can NASA enhance its early-stage innovation and partnership investment strategies to support American leadership in space technology?
- To what extent do NASA’s cost and schedule models, when used early in spaceflight project development, accurately predict final costs and schedules?
- To what extent has the Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) been adopted and used to drive decision-making?
- How do NASA’s procurement and grant practices advance equity for improved access to opportunities for underserved communities?
- How do NASA Internships broaden the participation of underrepresented and underserved students to advance equity and build a diverse future STEM Workforce?
NASA has a $23.2B budget for FY21 or about 0.5% of the entire federal budget. Some of its goals for 2022 are to test planetary defense capabilities, send a spacecraft to a metal-rich asteroid, test fly the first all-electric plane, measure the pollution of North America, and break the American record for a single spaceflight.
Regarding procurement, NASA has four continued focus areas:
- Standardization of policy, work instructions, and templates;
- Enterprise procurement community;
- Amplified communication strategy; and
- Performance and metrics.
In the FY23 Budget Request, NASA requested $25.9B total, an 8% increase from the FY22 request. It includes $1.4B for space technology, $244M for the development of commercial space stations, $2.4B in Earth science and observations to make climate data available to scientists and policymakers, $500M to reside climate impact of aviation, and $244M to work with industry on commercial space stations.
NASA is also focusing on the Artemis Program and the Mission to Mars. By the end of FY23, NASA plans to have multiple companies under contract to develop systems for sustainable human labor exploration.
The Agency-wide Acquisition Support Services contract expires in September 2024, and recompetition is expected to begin in Q2 of FY23.
NASA is exploring contracting and management approaches to reduce the costs of future exploration missions. It is working to move away from cost-plus contracts to reduce spending and schedule overruns, using competition and fixed-price contracts in place of the traditional cost-plus contracts. Additionally, NASA is working to reduce duplicative procurements and consolidate on certain acquisitions. This is already being seen in the switch from construction and communications services contracts from being awarded through various orders in different centers to being structured to serve NASA agency-wide. NASA is evaluating whether regionalized or centralized contracting approaches would be more beneficial for different types of products and services, such as logistics and administrative services, when looking to consolidate. However, environmental compliance contracts are enacting the opposite, moving from Interagency Acquisition Agreements to each center being responsible for its own requirements. Overall, NASA is taking a hard look at which acquisition procedures will be most beneficial based on the type of product or service being acquired and which NASA body is acquiring it. | aerospace |

The real change of the past two decades, however, has been that manufacturers have acknowledged aircraft could not grow any further without causing significant incompatibility issues with the airports they intend to serve. For instance, the Boeing 777-9 will feature folding wingtips to keep the wingspan within the range of the ICAO Letter of Code E (below 65m) when the aircraft is on the ground.
Most of the existing parking stands for large aircraft were designed for the Boeing 747-400 or the Airbus A340-600. The larger aircraft, such as the Airbus A380-800 and the Boeing 747-8, feature a wider wingspan (beyond 65m). The Boeing 777-9 - which should perform its maiden flight next year - will be the longest airliner ever. Accommodating these aircraft at the gate, docking jetbridges and fuelling the aircraft can be challenging. On the manoeuvring side, longer aircraft require larger taxiway fillets. Higher pavement stress can also be a concern.
AviPLAN is an add-on to the most popular CAD software used in airport planning and design. It is the next generation of aircraft manoeuvring and simulation solutions, replacing PathPlanner and AeroTurn.
AviPLAN offers a wide range of possibilities, from designing taxiway fillets to establishing the feasibility of docking certain aircraft types at a specific gate. Most of the geometric ground issues in aircraft/airport compatibility can be directly addressed with the software and the expertise of the airport engineer.
AviPLAN has a specific aircraft stand-design tool. Stand features such as lead-in lines, passenger boarding bridges, fuel pits and other services can be modelled. Add a large set of aircraft types to the model and you now have a complex, three-dimensional problem to solve. The software can be used for finding the optimum location for a new project or accommodating larger aircraft.
The topography of the field is important, too. The latest version can work with real terrain mesh from a survey. This is a considerable advance in modelling the topography of the field, which is important for evaluating the feasibility of docking jetbridges to aircraft doors in a tight environment.
Aircraft manufacturers usually provide jet blast contours for three levels of thrust in their manuals: idle, breakaway and maxi take-off. AviPLAN can draw these contours as long as the designer drives the aircraft along the right path on the CAD drawing of the airport, revealing the exposure of the airside.
However, these contours are given for ideal, theoretical conditions. The definitions on behind-jet-blast generation are not well known within the aviation community. Finally, there are very few standards. Our research project with The French-Speaking Airports (Les Aéroports Francophones) aims to produce the first-ever practice-ready guidance.
For airport designers, engineers and planners, software like AviPLAN is a true 'Swiss army knife' to solve complex geometrical problems. It is useful for addressing threedimensional problems such as the compatibility between the aircraft and the gate with all its ground services.
AviPLAN also helps airport professionals to save time and increase the reliability of their studies. But if we talk about 'computer-aided design', it is because the software is there to help the experts, not replace them. Experience is required for interpreting the results in order to produce high-value planning and engineering studies. | aerospace |

At the same time this Republic Day is going to be an unique day with several firsts, here are the key highlights of the 2021 Republic Day Parade, which is the only attraction of the 72nd Republic Day of India.
Woman fighter pilot, Flight lieutenant Bhawana Kanth will be a part of the Republic Day parade this year to become the first woman fighter pilot to take part in India’s biggest ceremonial event on January 26. She will be a part of the Indian Air Force’s (IAF’s) tableau that will showcase mock-ups of the light combat aircraft, light combat helicopter and the Sukhoi-30 fighter plane.
Flypast by Rafale jets along with 42 other aircraft, newly-inducted Rafale jets will also participate in this year’s parade. These aircraft will be part of different formations during the flypast including 15 fighter jets, five transport aircraft, 21 helicopters and a vintage Dakota aircraft. A Rafale aircraft will fly with two Jaguars and two MiG-29 fighter jets in one of the formations at the flypast, which will wrap up with the Rafale carrying out another manoeuvre.
Soldiers in masks. Following the new norms of Covid-19, soldiers marching down the Rajpath will also be seen wearing masks along with spectators. The number of officials participating in the parade has also been reduced to 96. Earlier, there was a 12×12 contingent system which had 144 Soldiers
In another first, a tableau of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is also set to wow spectators during the Republic Day parade. “This year we will be having our own tableau and its theme will be combat skills of CRPF in conflict zones.
Schilika weapon system with woman commander. The upgraded Schilika weapon system will roll down in Rajpath for the first time this year in the Republic Day parade, led by the only woman contingent commander from the army.Ram Mandir tableauUttar Pradesh’s tableau will feature a replica of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which is currently under construction. It will also display the culture, tradition and art related to the temple town.Things that will be missing this year.
No chief guest. More than five decades, this year’s parade will be the first Republic Day parade to be organised without a chief guest. Before this, there were no chief guests during the Republic Day parade in 1952, 1953 and 1966. No motorcycle parade. No veteran parade | aerospace |

VORAGO will design a rad-hard Smallsat / CubeSat Avionics single board controller that has the necessary robustness needed for long duration missions in harsh mission environments. VORAGO will also create a design for a radiation-hardened miniaturized System-In-Package (SIP). The SIP will be optimized for size, weight, power consumption and radiation hardness.
Semiconductor device operation in an extreme radiation is enabled by the use of VORAGO’s HARDSIL® technology. HARDSIL is a process enhancement to standard semiconductor manufacturing that hardens commercially designed devices against the effects of radiation and temperature. HARDSIL can be used to harden semiconductor devices using standard manufacturing equipment with no negative impact on performance or yields. This approach is a highly cost-effective and fast alternative to conventional rad-hard by design (RHBD) techniques, specialized processes, up-screened commercial products, redundant systems, or mechanical screening.
“We are delighted that NASA continues to recognize our unique capability in developing innovative technology for space,” said Bernd Lienhard, chief executive officer of VORAGO Technologies. “HARDSIL technology is a perfect solution to quickly and cost effectively radiation harden semiconductors devices and will enable the success of these important projects.”
Microcontroller and SRAM memory devices based upon VORAGO’s HARDSIL technology are currently in operation on the International Space Station. These devices are used in a science study, sponsored by Air Force Research Laboratory and hosted on the STP-H5 experiment payload by the Air Force Space and Missle System Center Space Test Payload group and NASA.
About VORAGO Technologies
VORAGO Technologies is a privately held, high technology company based in Austin, TX with patented and proven solutions that enable electronics systems for extreme temperature and radiation environments. VORAGO’s patented HARDSIL® technology uses cost effective high volume manufacturing to harden any commercially designed semiconductor component for extreme environment operation. VORAGO Technologies opens up a new world of possibilities for your designs, no matter how hostile the environment. www.voragotech.com | aerospace |

Sunday Funday, rested after the holidays, soars back into action with
Hot Air Balloons and Gliders
Sunday, January 8th, 1PM to 4PM - FREE
Outside of a handful of balloon flights in the 1860’s (and the claimed 1865 first powered flight by Jacob Brodbeck outside of Luchenbach), Texans of the 19th and early 20th centuries lived entire lifetimes without seeing any aircraft in the skies above them. The first recorded powered flight in Texas took place on February 18th, 1910 in Houston. Meanwhile, Austin’s first airport, named for former city councilor Robert Mueller, opened in 1930.
Fresh from our winter break, we in the lab have been cooking up our own ideas for flying machines. While the ability to fly may seem totally routine, there’s nothing quite like the experience of making something that can climb up into the air!
How do you make a hot air balloon?
Luckily for us, lighter-than-air flight is easier to achieve than powered flight. Using simple, household materials, extra thin plastic bags, string, straws, and birthday candles become balloons that can easily reach the treetops. (Note: this is why we remember to tie strings onto our balloons so that they don’t get away from us!)
Staff and volunteers will guide you through the process of building a simple balloon, but we also encourage you to be your own engineer and experiment with different methods of constructing a lighter-than-air flier.
We’ll also have plans for a few simple gliders with some pre-built examples to launch off of our historic balcony.

Obviously, this type of high technology business could not be commercially developed without insurance protection. We, at the J. B. Boda Group, jointly with our London associates, developed satellite insurance contracts along with Indian insurers and the first satellite viz. INSAT 1 A was insured in 1981, providing the coverage for launch, in-orbit risks and also losses to third parties. Since then, we have developed expertise for satellite insurance and reinsurance and successfully designed insurance programmes for the satellites launched by the Department of Space / Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the INSAT 2 & INSAT 3 series. We are proud of our association with the Department of Space in insuring space related ventures.
