SEARS 572 records a flight card for each flight at our launches. After the launch, the cards were sorted and counted by hand to get various stats about the launch, such as number of flyers, number of flights and number of each motor type used. The rest of the details such as the flyers and the rocket are not reported.
However, SEARS 572 is now entering the flight cards into this online database. You are welcome to search our cards. Don’t forget to click on stats at the bottom of the results page. This will show you the stats for the flight cards returned in your search.
The links below are for our Club fliers.
A login is required. If you don’t remember the login request it via Contact SEARS. Our fliers are welcome to correct their own cards if needed. Use the search link above. Also our club flyers can enter their flights for their own launches or launches with other clubs. Please enter the person or group in charge of the launch as the launch sponsor. That way we can keep the stats separate for SEARS launches. | aerospace |

Choose between a 2000 ft or the more adventurous 4000 ft tandem flight with a professional certified instructor pilot by your side. For the first time every we're flying in the fall, during the peak of fall colors! This is not a "Hang Gliding Ride," but rather a flight instruction. While in the air your instructor pilot will show you how the hang glider works and even give you the opportunity to steer the glider. When it's time for landing, the instructor pilot will take back over for a safe landing.
When Saturday, October 22nd

Registration open to MEMBERS ONLY through October 1st. Registration opens to Non-Members October 1st.
Trip Leader Stephen Bryant
Difficulty No experience necessary. This is an introductory experience. If you'd like to learn more and take a more indepth Hang Gliding course at the "beginner hills", ask Lookout Moutain Hang Glide for their Introductory class available for only $50 extra. Participants must weigh less than 250 lbs.
Children Policy This event is open to 6 and up.
Dog Policy Friendly dogs are permitted but must be on leash and under supervision during your flight time.
Refund Policy This event is subject to 10% cancellation fee. No refunds available two weeks out from the event (October 8th). If poor weather requires the outfitter to cancel your flight, you will be issued a credit to use your flight on another day of your choice.
Deadline: Online registration closes at 3pm on Tuesday, October 18th.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A 2000 ft flight will last approximately 12 to 20 minutes of flying time – or try the 4000 ft flight for 20 to 26 minutes of flying time. All tandem flights begin at ground level. An ultralight airplane will tow the glider up to your chosen altitude. In-flight photos available. To fly, you must weigh less than 250 lbs.
ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE
All flights through Team Green Adventures are tandem flights. This means you will fly side by side with a certified instructor. Your hang glider will be towed up to either 2000 or 4000 feet, then the hang glider will be released from the plane and will leisurely glide down to the flight field. Flight times range between 9:15am and 11:15am depending on the date and altitude you register for. Your "flight time" is the time you must check in at the outpost. The time you actually fly will be within the hour. Camping is available on the edge of the flight field, with access to swimming pool, bathroom/shower facility, and community house with deck. On Saturday evenings a community dinner is sometimes organized for just $5. This is a great way to mingle with individuals who have made a life sport out of hang gliding... including some fellow Team Greeners, like Warren!
Warren attended his first Hang Gliding trip with Team Green Adventures in July 2009. From that experience he registered for the full hang gliding instruction package and now owns his own hang glider, spending most of his free time in the air! When Warren passed his hang glider pilot test, he sent Team Green Adventures this video!
Watch his video below for his "first solo flight" from the top of Lookout Mountain! Please remember, to fly from the cliff top you must be a certified hang glider pilot. Team Green's tandem flights start from the ground level and are towed to your specified altitude.
**Fastforward to the last 24 seconds to see the landing.
If you are interested in trying out "solo" hang gliding, take advantage of a huge discount offered to Team Green participants. For those who register for the Introductory Class (aka. Ground School), your hang gliding day will begin at 8am. If you wish to do your tandem flight the same day as your ground school, your tandem flight will occur at 4pm, after ground school is finished. You DO NOT have to do your ground school the same day as your tandem flight. You can break them up over the weekend, OR, you can even use your ground school option any day before or after the event. It's up to you, but the discounted rate is only available to those who fly tandem with Team Green over the weekend of October 22-23rd.

Inaccuracy in any one of the above elements tends to nullify thefundamental purpose of the whole system. They might precipitateincidents that might turn out being negative, in the sense that, thefinal loading calculations might emerge as being meaningless if theaircraft gets improperly weighed or even the records contain errors.
Weight control of aircraft is usually a necessary procedure that getscarried out, and managers of any company should try as much aspossible to ensure that the plane engineers observe these rulesbefore departures by any one aircraft from the airports. They shouldmake sure that the procedures for weighing get followed to the latter(Freitas & Merkle, 2004).
Managers should make sure that the aircraft that weighs more get theeligibility to carry overloads that they can sustain their weightsthat are they should always consider some factors from themanufacturers when purchasing new air crafts. The factors such as themaximum amount of weighing that a single aircraft can carry must getput into consideration (Federal Aviation Administration,2013).
After the managers decide that the plane with the right conditionsfor sustaining the weights of the overloaded cargos, they should sitdown and devise meaningful strategies that they can use to chargethese overloads with a critical observation in mind not to cause anyaircraft accidents due to greed for money. Managers should,therefore, institute some standard criteria for the observation ofthe plane rules as well as the chargers of the overloaded weights.
Proper loading of an aircraft is usually an essential aspect thatmanagers should consider, for instance, they should ensure that thereis qualified personnel who might calculate the weights required.Also, managers should ensure that pilots receive the pilot operatinghandbook or the airplane flight manual so as to make them comprehendthe maximum weight allowed for the aircraft under the conditions ofaltitude, temperature, the wind, and runway conditions.
Managers of aircraft companies should ensure that they hire competentas well as qualified engineers to handle their mechanics work, theyshould stipulate that all the engineers interested in joining theirfirms to present original copies of the federal aviationadministration certificates so as to prove their eligibility. Theyshould also ensure that their mechanics undergo continuous trainingso as to keep pace with the constantly emerging new technology(Wheatley, 2000).
Since the mechanics of aviation are in constant evolution, themanagers should try as much as possible to liaise with the certifiedinstitutions that offer a flight to provide training and workshops totheir professionals.Also, the managers might use the real connectionto try and promote efficacy in their companies, and that is theyshould confirm with these institutions the validity of thecertificates of their engineers.
The leaders of the aircraft companies should try to keep in mind thatthey are in business and that they need to present to their clientssafe and useful services, they might do this by ensuring that theyemploy a proper business channel that is fair and just to all theircustomers. Also, the managers might opt to use the services of thebest mechanics around so as to ensure that their aircraft are in goodcondition and them their customers receive quality services (Lopez, 2010).
The various institutions that govern the aircraft practices tend tohave some protocol that they emphasize on all the institutions orcompanies dealing with aircraft services. The contracts stipulatesome of the rules and regulation that are to get implemented in caseair crafts get outdated the managers should at all times be vigilantto ensure that their companies run in the right direction with noroom for shortcuts but to observe the protocols.
Managers should employ the proper management skills as well asembrace an entrepreneurial culture, where they might opt to think outof the box and come up with strategies that might help theircompanies accrue more cash instead of indulging in risky practicessuch as the indulgences in overloading their aircraft. Also, theymight introduce other lucrative services within their aircraft andoffer after sales services or offers to their customers to ensurethat their business prospers( Cole, 2005).
Managers should always do the inspection of their staff as well asindulge in performance appraisal tasks so as to reward hard workingemployees and create moral to those who are not hard working to putmore effort (Grossman & Valiga, 2013). Through this, theemployees might get motivated to value their jobs thus promoting ahealthy working culture that might strengthen the effectiveness ofthe services offered by their organizations thus creating bothcustomer and employee satisfaction.
Aircraft are very complex and need continuous monitoring andmaintenance the above article illustrates some leadership andmanagerial strategies the managers should observe in theirorganizations, also the need to obey the rules of loading air craftsand the mechanics of their maintenance.

While working closely with traffic management and the Police we are able to fly over any city buildings, up any street or 400ft over any congested area. We do require a minimum of 2 weeks notice to put arrangements in place.
Depending on wind conditions we can fly for approx 15mins flight time before changing batteries. Recycling batteries allows for flying all day.
Yes, we were actually the first company in Ireland to do a live OB from 400ft in the air. Live HD picture with <1ms delay straight down to up to 5 different monitors then transmit to the world. Live!
We have a number of lenses ranging from 14mm to 42mm. We also have zoom lenses which are zoomable from the air.
In the right flight mode with the wind at our back we can reach speeds of 50mph. More than enough to keep up with any car, bike or boat.
Yes we have no issues flying over water unlike some of our competitors. We have full faith in our machines and all its failsafes.
Inches to the ground close enough?
No. Our drones are not waterproof to cut down on weight. Also any rain on the lens will ruin the shot anyway.
Yes. We offer many services including;
In short, if we have pilots and crafts available yes we can. We do prefer at least one weeks notice if possible. This also allows us to obtain any special permissions we may need.
Under Civil Aviation Authority laws any UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) cannot fly any more than 400ft in height and any more than 500m away from the pilot. The pilot must also always have un-aided visual line of sight with the copter.
Yes. We have aircraft grade LEDs beneath the craft to guide us in darkness. We also are one of the few companies with exemptions from the CAA allowing us to legally fly at night in the UK. In Ireland however under the IAA regulations, no UAV is allowed to fly after sunset, apart from search and rescue, no exceptions.
Absolutely. There are more restrictions when it comes to large events but it’s very easy to abide by these regulations and still achieve the shot the client wants.
Absolutely not, our footage needs no post production stabilization what-so-ever.

The historic all-civilian mission to space is now underway.*
We’re just a few hours away from the historic Inspiration4 space flight and the excitement is definitely building for tonight’s launch. We’re as excited as just about anyone to watch the event live, so we’ve put together a helpful guide for how to watch Inspiration4’s all-civilian mission aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.
Inspiration4 will send four civilian crewmembers into orbit around the Earth for three days using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, lifting off from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. After three days in orbit, the crew will descend back into the atmosphere and splash down in the Atlantic Ocean.
The crew is made up of billionaire entrepreneur (we know, we know, it’s different this time, we promise) Jared Isaacman, geoscientist Sian Proctor, childhood cancer survivor and physician assistant Hayley Arceneaux, and data scientist Chris Sembroski.
The purpose of the mission is raise funds and awareness for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, but it’s also the first all-civilian flight to orbit the Earth, a major milestone in civilian space travel.
As for how to watch Inspiration4 launch, liftoff is preliminarily planned for no earlier than 8:02PM EDT on September 15, and we’ll have you covered with live launch coverage, so keep this page bookmarked for Inspiration4 launch information such as launch time and live updates during the launch itself.
Fortunately, this is a SpaceX rocket launch at its core, and the private space flight company is very liberal with its coverage, offering livestreams of its launches on its website and YouTube channel. The channel is now live, with coverage starting around 3:30PM EDT ahead of the scheduled lift off tonight, so you can watch the historic flight unfold along with breaking news and updates from us as the mission progresses. | aerospace |

No, Buicks don't fly ...
But to bring you the revolutionary new Variable Pitch Dynaflow, Buick has borrowed an important design feature directly from aviation.
As most air travelers know, the propeller blades of a modern air liner are mounted in the hubs so that the "pitch" (angle of attack) can be changed for varying flying conditions.
In other words, modern air liners use one pitch of the blades for take-off and climbing and a different pitch for cruising.
This development brings two highly desirable advantages:
First, the use of variable pitch propellers reduces an airplane's take-off run by hundreds of feet and steps up rate-of-climb.
Second, variable pitch propellers greatly improve
gasoline economy in cruising.

In fact, circumstances are by no means the identical and subsequently the calculations for every flight must be tailored to the person aircraft. Whether a private flight or a commercial one, thorough preparation is required previous to take-off and there are many careful details to be mapped out. The main factors to be considered in a flight plan are that of fuel, weather and route. These details should be worked out in the best way to enable the plane to take the safest yet fastest route available and likewise to conserve fuel. Fuel is an important aspect of flight planning and favourable weather conditions can actually assist an plane in making its journey utilizing the least amount of fuel. Wind direction performs a big half in fuel consumption as wind that pushes a craft from behind or front can help or hinder a pilot in making the journey with minimum fuel.With the wind behind it, an aircraft will burn less than it might flying into the wind. Another concern when preparing for a flight is fuel costs. As they are now higher than ever earlier than, companies are searching for ways to try to save lots of fuel where possible.
What are the Benefits?
An efficient flight plan will hold fuel consumption as little as attainable, ensure a safe and environment friendly flight, restrict risks and at the same time minimise expenditure. By minimising the risks and maximising savings, flight planning software at this time is at its highest stage of sophistication and irrespective of the dimensions of the corporate, there are many potential money saving opportunities. Thanks to the developments of the internet and technology, pilots no longer should calculate a flight utilizing their hands! The introduction of high quality planning software not only saves money and time, but most importantly, save lives.
Saves airlines money.
The latest software limits risk.
Helps to keep fuel consumption low.
Shortens the flight time.
Helps to accurately pinpoint the amount of extra fuel needed.
Flight Planning and Extra Fuel
All flights need to carry not only sufficient fuel to complete the scheduled journey, but in addition a reserve amount to make sure that the craft can fly additional afield if needed. Fuel must subsequently be calculated to the closest doable gallon. There are times when a different airport could also be wanted resulting from disruption and this could make an alternate touchdown vacation spot a much needed option for pilots. This is why it’s crucial that pilots should account for further fuel. The frequent circumstances in which an plane may be unable to land are bad climate which could cause visibility problems and technical problems with lighting or power. Although rare, other reasons could also be security emergencies, fire or evacuation resulting from natural disaster. One other factor to consider when working out further fuel allowance is that the plane might need to circle above the alternative airport for a significant quantity of time. Flight planning needs to be very precise and very detailed to cover all eventualities.

It seems that everyone involved in this fascinating hobby has developed their own "favored" techniques with respect to putting together the sugar motors that fly their rockets. Many develop a standard motor configuration and devote a significant amount of time working with the many other aspects of HP rocketry. These include rocket building, payload electronics, recovery systems etc. Some devote significant time on developing the motor hardware, casings, nozzles, closures, etc. Others, such as myself, are fascinated by the propellant itself, its properties, how it can be modified and so on.
As I began working with sugar propellant formulations it quickly became obvious that unless some methods were developed that allowed me to cut costs and minimize the time and effort involved in the many aspects involved in this hobby that I would get frustratingly little accomplished. The links found on this page connect to pages which describe various aspects of propellant grain and motor preparation that I have settled on over the past several years. These techniques are most likely are not the best in use among those who have spent more time in this hobby than I have but I find that what I have settled on suits me well.
General Motor Configuration
As I began to fly HP model rockets using composite propellants I quickly obtained several sets of commercial motor hardware designed to use Aerotech reloads. These casings and closures are expensive!! I still enjoy flying a commercial reload now and then so I decided that I would configure my experimental sugar motors to operate in my already aquired composite propellant motor hardware. In this way I knew that I could get the greatest value out of my motor hardware. Rather than let them sit around waiting for the occasional use with a commercial composite reload, use them often with sugar reloads! | aerospace |

For clinical monitoring of astronauts and for in-flight biomedical research, laboratory instruments must be available in the spaceflight environment. Currently, no instrument has been shown to be capable of generating a white blood cell (WBC) count and differential during spaceflight to our knowledge, although this is a medical requirement of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). We evaluated a compact hematology analyzer for compatibility with a zero-gravity environment. We performed analyses in reduced-gravity during parabolic flight. Herein, we describe our engineering evaluation and report the reduced-gravity validation data we collected. The hematology analyzer we tested met the basic requirements for use in spaceflight and should be capable of accurately measuring WBC parameters aboard the International Space Station.
Effects of Spaceflight on the Human Body
Conditions during spaceflight cause many adverse health effects in humans, including loss of bone density and muscle strength due to hypokenesis and altered cardiac function due to significant fluid redistribution. The risk of cancer also increases with prolonged radiation exposure. Recent evidence1–3 indicates that immune function is altered during spaceflight; causal factors may include crewmember stress, isolation, altered nutrition, and/or disrupted circadian rhythms. Also, microgravity may have a direct effect on T-cell activation due to altered trans-duction of intracellular signals.4Microgravity is defined as the near zero-gravity environment of low-Earth orbital spaceflight. While orbiting the Earth, gravity still exerts most of its downward force (surface, 9.8 m/s2; Earth orbit, 9.0 m/s2). However, beyond the influence of atmospheric drag, orbital flight balances the force of gravity on the spacecraft by an outward force created by the tremendous speed of the craft as it circles the Earth (∼27,359km/hr). This balance is defined as microgravity because it is not technically zero gravity (although objects still appear to float).
Crewmembers in spaceflight are also exposed to environmental dangers such as toxins that may accumulate in the closed environment and increased reactivation and shedding of latent herpes viruses.5,6 During Earth orbital flight, however, crews have remained in generally good health because countermeasures such as exercise, improved diet, and fluid intake offset bone and muscle loss to a certain extent. Immune system alterations during orbital flight do not usually result in clinical disease. However, the health risks associated with spaceflight generally increase as the mission length increases. One of the primary objectives of the International Space Station (ISS) is to investigate the medical consequences of prolonged spaceflight and develop and validate countermeasures necessary to enable deep-space missions beyond Earth orbit. A long-term goal of the United States space program is to develop heavy-lift rocket capabilities and crew vehicles that can enable exploration of near-Earth asteroids, the moon, and Mars.
Laboratory Instruments and Spaceflight
To enable medical monitoring of crewmembers and to perform basic clinical research, medical laboratory instruments are required aboard the ISS. However, very few laboratory instruments are currently deployed on the ISS because of technical constraints. The iSTAT Portable Clinical Analyzer (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) and a portable ultrasound imaging device have been flown successfully as scientific payloads. No other diagnostic medical instruments are currently available for use in spaceflight; most laboratory instruments are incompatible with spaceflight conditions. Most hematology analyzers and flow cytometers are large and heavy, have significant power requirements, use large amounts of reagents, and generate significant amounts of biohazardous waste. Instrument fluidics may be altered in microgravity; an example is the laminar flow/hydrodynamic focusing used in flow cytometers.7 These properties are potentially incompatible with spaceflight, although it should be possible to reengineer some laboratory instruments to achieve compatibility with spaceflight.8
Without clinical laboratory instruments, medical research onboard the ISS may be performed on specimens collected during flight but returned for terrestrial analysis. This pushes to capacity the storage space requirements aboard space vehicles returning to Earth, which have been extremely limited in the post-Shuttle era. Frozen samples can be collected at any time and stored on the space station before they return to earth for use. To return ambient, live blood samples, the samples can only be collected right before undock, and immediately returned. It is highly desirable to have instruments for in-flight medical and research requirements. To our knowledge a suitable instrument for measuring white blood cell (WBC) count or differential during spaceflight has not been identified. The ability to obtain a WBC count is an unmet National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) medical requirement during space-flight9 because no available analyzer has been validated for use in the unique environment of spaceflight.
To be adaptable to spaceflight conditions, a laboratory instrument must be small, use minimal power, require little or no maintenance, use minimal liquid reagent, generate minimal liquid biohazardous waste, and have a mechanical design that is robust and vibration tolerant. It is desirable for reagents to be stable at room temperature for prolonged periods of time since refrigerated storage is severely limited. The user interface should be simple and intuitive, and analysis time must be rapid. Crew time in orbit is very limited; crews routinely perform several procedures at once. Most laboratory instruments do not meet these requirements.
Prototype In-Flight WBC Analyzer
Recently, a novel WBC/differential analyzer (WBC-DIFF) was developed by Hemocue, Inc. (Brea, CA, Image 1). This device is small (∼6.0 × 6.0 ×7.5 inches), can operate on battery power, and does not use liquid reagents. Instead, a 10-μl blood sample is aspirated into a cuvette containing a lysing reagent and a nuclear staining dye (Image 2). The cuvette is inserted into the instrument, and a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera captures an image of the specimen, producing a WBC and differential via nuclear morphology. The analysis takes approximately 3 minutes and 20 seconds. NASA occasionally uses commercially available equipment to support in-flight requirements, sometimes with no or minimal modifications. In most cases, commercially developed instruments have been extensively validated as a prerequisite for clinical use. Although designed for use in small laboratories and physicians’ offices, we identified the WBC-DIFF analyzer as being potentially compatible with spaceflight because it met most of the requirements previously described.
According to the technical specifications available from Hemocue, Inc, the instrument works within a range of 0.3 to 30.0 ×109 WBC/L; counts above or below this range generate an error message. The clinical validation of this instrument was described by Osei-Bimpong et al,10 who found that its results did not vary by greater than 5.0% versus an automated hematology analyzer (Beckman Coulter Inc, LH-750, Brea, CA). Linearity within the detection range was verified. The accuracy of the WBC-DIFF was validated using 500 blood specimens spanning the detection range; less than 10% deviation from the reference method was observed and no bias was evident at the low or high ends of the line arrange. The authors noted that artificially elevated WBC counts were observed in certain clinical conditions (eg, sickle-cell disease and thalassaemia major); the WBC-DIFF did not alert the user to these results.10
In 2012, we obtained a NASA Human Health and Performance Directorate innovation grant to the Immunology Laboratory of the Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX, to evaluate the WBC-DIFF for use in spaceflight. In this study, we purchased and evaluated a WBC-DIFF instrument, performed cursory validation to confirm the performance of the instrument, and undertook an engineering evaluation under spaceflight conditions, followed by a reduced-gravity evaluation aboard a NASA parabolic-flight aircraft.
Materials and Methods
Venous blood samples from healthy subjects were collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant tubes and stored at room temperature until analysis. For the engineering evaluation, 8 test subjects participated in the confirmatory terrestrial comparative studies and 2 other subjects participated in the reduced-gravity evaluation. Parallel finger-stick blood samples were collected via lancet into WBC/differential microcuvettes (Hemocue, Inc.) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Except where indicated (ie, in a sample-stability time-course study), all finger-stick samples were analyzed within 10 minutes of collection.
For the reference method, we performed analysis of venous blood samples in a College of American Pathologists (CAP)–certified clinical laboratory with a Coulter LH-750 hematology analyzer (Beckman Coulter Inc, Brea, CA). Test data were obtained by analyzing venous or finger-stick samples on the WBC-DIFF. The WBC-DIFF instrument generates an absolute WBC count and calculates percentages of neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
Statistical analyses were performed by Stata IC software (version 12.1, StataCorp LP, College Station, TX) using the 2-tailed alpha and a threshold of statistical significance of P <0.05. We used the concordance correlation coefficient (ρ) reported by Lin11,12 to evaluate agreement among measurements of WBC, granulocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and monocytes by the reference hematology analyzer and the WBC-DIFF device. We also evaluated agreement between analyses of venous blood and finger-stick specimens. We calculated the mean differences between measures taken with the WBC-DIFF device versus those taken using the reference analyzer, and between venous and finger-stick specimens; we report the 95% limits of agreement of these differences.13
Although extensive validation data for the WBC-DIFF is available from its manufacturer, we performed basic validation studies in our laboratory on the delivered unit. In venous blood samples, we found the results generated by the WBC-DIFF to be reasonably comparable to the reference hematology analyzer results for all measured parameters except monocytes (Figure 1). The statistical measures of concordance (SE) were as follows: WBC, .90(.07); granulocytes, .91(.07); lymphocytes, .87(.07); eosinophils, .94(.04); basophils, .60(.16); and monocytes, −.27(.18). Average differences (SD) between the reference and WBC-DIFF measurements were WBC: .11(.38); granulocytes: .25(3.20); lymphocytes: −3.63(1.06); eosinophils: .21(.70); basophils: .11(.30); and monocytes: 2.66(2.97). Using only the WBC-DIFF analyzer, we evaluated the concordance between venous and finger-stick blood specimens. The results of these studies are summarized in Table 1. The findings agree with a published report14 that demonstrated finger-stick blood is an acceptable sample type for complete blood cell (CBC) measurements. We evaluated the stability of specimens in filled cuvettes over time; this may also be an indicator of intra-cuvette precision. Using a finger-stick sample, the filled cuvettes were stable for approximately 30 minutes. Errors due to evaporation of specimen from the filled cuvettes became significant after longer periods. Cuvette stability data are presented in Image 3.
We performed an engineering evaluation of the WBC-DIFF for compatibility with requirements for flight hardware and the possibility of engineering improvements to size or power consumption. The instrument has minimal unused internal space (Image 1). On loading a filled cuvette onto the plastic holder, the holder is manually moved along a guide into the view of the CCD camera. During movement, 2 magnets hold the sample in place and then immobilize the sample in the view of the camera; we found this to be an optimal sample-handling method for reduced-gravity operations. For zero-gravity evaluations, we determined that only minor modifications to affix the cuvette within the holder were required, which we accomplished by simply adding adhesive material to the cuvette-holding area. We determined that no other engineering changes were required for our reduced-gravity evaluation.
Evaluation of hardware in reduced gravity is possible in a parabolic flight aircraft (Image 4). A NASA jet flies in a parabolic arc; a 30-second zero-gravity period is produced at the peak of the parabola, whereas a 2G force (twice the normal gravitational force) is generated at the bottom of the parabola. Many parabolic paths are flown in a repeated sequence to facilitate zero-gravity testing. In this evaluation, we successfully collected a series of finger-stick blood specimens into reagent cuvettes during the zero-gravity phase of the flight (Image 5). To determine whether the analyzer was sensitive to gravitational effects, we performed analyses during parabolic flight. However, because the instrument requires more than 3 minutes to generate a result, it was not possible to restrict analysis to within the zero-gravity phase of flight. Therefore, we initiated the analytical cycle at the beginning of a parabolic path and allowed the analysis to continue to completion (Image 4). The analysis took place during a series of 3 consecutive zero-to-2G phases, with no intervening 1-fold (ie, normal) gravity-contamination condition. We conclude that a successful operation, spanning zero-gravity and 2G phases of flight, indicates that the instrument (which was continually analyzing images during the 3-minute analysis period) is capable of functioning properly in either gravity condition. Data from 2 separate flights, with 1 test subject evaluated per flight, were collected. Control data at normal gravity was generated during level aircraft flight. Our data indicated that the WBC-DIFF functioned properly in normal, zero-, or 2-fold gravity conditions (Figure 2).
This study was the first evaluation of a hematology instrument for use aboard the ISS. The evaluation was necessarily limited because of the unique conditions under which the instrument would have to operate. Validation of a new instrument or method would be comprehensive, conforming to CAP or Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) standards. Typical validation studies involve hundreds of parallel measurements on both the candidate and the reference instrument, along with studies to establish a normal range, confirm the sensitivity and linearity of measurements, and assess potential interferences. A benefit of using commercial technology (in this case, an FDA-approved method) is that extensive validation studies have already been performed by the manufacturer. However, these validation data do not entirely replace in-laboratory validation of a new instrument in the environment where the instrument will be operated. The WBC-DIFF instrument was assessed for use aboard the ISS. It would not be feasible to deploy the instrument to the ISS and perform the full spectrum of validation studies to comply with CAP/CLIA requirements. The primary goal for this study was to conduct engineering and microgravity evaluations of this instrument to determine its suitability for use in spaceflight. We considered the instrument size, power consumption, vibration tolerance, reagent stability, and reliable function in microgravity. In this report, we cited existing validation data and performed a basic check of the analyzer. Limitations also exist regarding the availability and cost of the parabolic-flight microgravity evaluation opportunities: only 1 aircraft exists in the United States that supports this flight profile. Each flight consists of 30 parabolas, each containing approximately 25 seconds of microgravity time. Only 2 flights were available for this study, which was a severe limiting factor. Therefore, we developed an optimization strategy that allowed photographic and video recording of finger-stick sample collection during the microgravity phase for multiple operators. We collected microgravity and terrestrial hardware evaluation data for a single test subject on each flight. Although a normal terrestrial instrument evaluation would evaluate a significantly greater number of test subjects, we were able to achieve a successful microgravity evaluation within these constraints.
The recently developed WBC-DIFF hematology analyzer is miniaturized, robust, and has an appropriate amount of reagent storage to satisfy the requirements of space-flight (eg, microgravity compatibility, size, minimal power consumption). This instrument is available for clinical use in Europe; however United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval is currently pending. In this study, a limited validation assessment versus a standard hematology instrument yielded mostly acceptable correlations; however, monocyte percentages measured by the evaluation unit were significantly different from measurements made on the reference analyzer (Figure 1). Studies are currently underway aboard the ISS to characterize space-flight-associated immune dysfunction. Currently it is not known whether specific cellular populations are altered in peripheral blood or have altered functional characteristics. Although it may be important to monitor all WBC subpopulations, use of the WBC-DIFF for measuring the WBC and certain differential parameters has value. Given the current absence of in-flight hematology capabilities, the parameters validated in this instrument would augment current capabilities. Before selection of the WBC-DIFF for spaceflight, we anticipate that FDA approval and a full validation of the differential capabilities of the instrument would be required.
Using the WBC-DIFF analyzer only, finger-stick samples produced results generally similar to those from venous blood samples (Table 1), in agreement with literature previously published study.14 As validated in the current study, the WBC-DIFF instrument is able to perform analyses in a zero-gravity environment (Image 2). For all parameters except monocyte percentages, we consider this instrument to be acceptable for use during spaceflight.
The primary goal of this study was to determine whether this WBC-DIFF instrument is capable of functioning in reduced gravity. NASA requires further engineering evaluations before actual deployment to the space vehicles, possibly including tests of radiation tolerance, electromagnetic emissions, release of any toxic compounds into the environment, and sensitivity to vibrations. Vibration tolerance is a particular concern in the launch phase of deployment. Modifications to any candidate devices may be implemented to improve performance in any of these areas of concern. For example, vulnerable components such as lenses and mirrors may be additionally secured, circuit boards may be coated, and heat transfer may be improved by ventilation or fans. The results of our evaluation indicate that the WBC-DIFF instrument is suitable for performing WBC counts and certain differential components aboard the ISS. The instrument is small, uses minimal power, and delivers rapid results. Reagents (ie, very small cuvettes) are stored in desiccated packaging and do not require refrigeration. Therefore, the reagents should be stable during the time frame required for space missions, and we would anticipate them to be relatively insensitive to increased radiation levels. Deployment of this analyzer would address a currently unmet need in orbit and enhance crew health and safety. It is appropriate to use the ISS as a test platform for development of this technology before its use on deep-space missions. Currently, the Human Health Countermeasures Element of NASA’s Human Research Program is investigating the requirements to flight certify the WBC-DIFF analyzer for a demonstration aboard the ISS.

Flightradar24 is an application that lets you know what is happening to a particular plane. It is only fully functional in the paid versions compatible with the Android, iPhone, iPad and even Windows Phone platforms. The free version is quite limited in terms of search capabilities.
Flightradar24 allows you to obtain all the information concerning a particular plane which you wish to take or which transports a member of your family. The application uses a very simple approach: it receives flight data directly from aircraft. This is possible thanks to automatic dependence surveillance-broadcasting technology or the ADS-B cooperative surveillance system, which is used by the majority of modern aircraft. ADS-B is a relatively complex and sophisticated system that allows pilots to obtain the latest weather and terrain updates, or other information. Planes equipped with ADS-B obtain their position information from a GPS network and transmit their position information with a host of other data to ATC or any ADS-B receiver on the ground.
With flightradar24, you can "zoom in" on almost any airport and see all the planes on approach, in flight, on departure, etc. You can also "click" on specific flights and get information about them, where they're headed, what type of aircraft is flying, flight time, etc. When searching by flight number, the user can see the position of the aircraft in real time and for flights already carried out (detailed statistics), including flight parameters at any point on the route .

Failing at this Endeavour
On my return drive to Tampa yesterday, I joined fellow photographer Jeremy Allen to shoot the launch of Space Shuttle STS-127 at Kennedy Space Center. Thanks to a friend we were able to join them at the actual Space Center, just a few miles from the launch pad. Unfortunately, the evening turned in to the fifth launch cancellation due to weather.
To try and get the tightest photograph possible, I put a 2x teleconverter on my 300mm/2.8 lens and used the Nikon D3's high speed crop mode. The 300 mm lens was then an effective 900mm lens but, unfortunately, the teleconverter severely compromises the sharpness of the image. The solution will involve trying to get a press credential for a future launch. Ideally, a shuttle launch before NASA scrubs the program in May of next year. | aerospace |

Photographed July, 1999
The United States provided Russia with medium bombers, fighters and transports under the Lend-Lease Act during World War II, but would not provide heavy bombers. The Soviets had very little heavy bomber capabilities and no near-term prospects of developing a modern four-engine bomber.
Since the Soviet Union was not at war with Japan until August, 1945, they confiscated all American aircraft that made emergency landings in Russia prior to that time. The first aircraft to be seized was a B-25 that flew in the Doolittle raid on Tokyo in April, 1942. A total of three B-29's were confiscated, all in 1944:
On July 29, 1944 Ramp Tramp, a B-29-5-BW serial number 42-6256, was unable to return to its base after a raid in Manchuria and landed in Vladivostok.
On November 11, 1944 The General H.H. Arnold Special, serial number 42-6365, was damaged during a raid against Omura on Kyushu was forced to divert to Vladivostok
On November 21, 1944 Ding How, serial number 42-6358, also landed in Vladivostok.
In January, 1945 the crews of these aircraft were quietly returned to the U.S. via Teheran, but their aircraft stayed behind.
After flight tests of Ramp Tramp, Stalin launched a program to exactly duplicate the B-29 on June 22, 1945. The aircraft was initially called B-4, but was soon renamed Tu-4 after Andrei Tupolev became manager of the project.
Though the order was to produce an exact copy, there were practical difficulties in doing this. In the end, several concessions were made to enable the use of Soviet designs. These included the use of Soviet NS-23 canons instead of American .50-caliber machine guns. Shvetsov ASh-73TK engines replaced the original 2,200HP Wright R-3350 engines. These were a soviet copy of earlier Wright engine designs that had been acquired under license from the U.S. They were supposed to have slightly greater horsepower, but initial versions did not perform as well as the R-3350.
In order to appear to comply with Stalin's orders, Tupolev ensured that obvious features of the Tu-4, such as the interior paint scheme, were identical to the B-29. Even a repair patch was duplicated from the original B-29. In less obvious ways, the aircraft was different. For example, the Tu-4 used metric units, as machinery used to manufacture components and materials were calibrated to metric units. Since the B-29's 1/16" aluminum skin would have required an impractical 1.5875 millimeter thickness in order to be an exact duplicate, a skin of varying thickness between .8 and 1.8 millimeters was used instead.
The General H.H. Arnold Special was disassembled at the Central Aerodrome in Moscow. Ding How was grounded as a reference aircraft and Ramp Tramp remained flyable. Ramp Tramp's engines were replaced with ASh-73TK's to make the aircraft more maintainable and it remained in-service for nine years.
Each of the B-29's 105,000 components had to be reverse-engineered by various design bureaus in Russia. There was difficulty producing the large tires and landing gear, so agents were sent to the West to purchase them on the surplus market. In the end, the Tu-4 was only one percent heavier than the B-29.
When disassembling the General H.H. Arnold Special, a plaque next to the bombardier's seat was found. It said:
The first Tu-4's were produced on-schedule in 1947, less than two years after the project began. Its maiden flight was in May, 1947 and its first public display was on Aviation Day in August, 1947. Western visitors who saw the Aviation Day demonstration became aware of the Tu-4 at this time.
Tu-4 had many problems initially (as did B-29's), but these were resolved over the years. The Tu-4 become operational in 1948. In the early 1950's, a number of Tu-4's were sent to China. A total of 845 Tu-4's were produced.
In May, 1947 Ramp Tramp was the mother ship to the rocket-powered Samolet 346. This was the product of a German experimental project called DFS 346. The Soviets reportedly captured the DFS 346 in 1945 and built the Samolet 346 using German scientists and a German test pilot.
On October 18, 1951, a Tu-4 dropped the first Soviet atomic bomb to be delivered by air.
Several variants of the Tu-4 were made. An experimental tanker was developed in 1952. An experimental low-wing passenger version of the Tu-4 named the Tu-70 was also built and flown but never saw production.
The Chinese replaced the engines with turboprops and created their own variants, including an early warning and electronic countermeasure aircraft and a craft for launching drones. These were reportedly in-use as late as 1968. An example of each of these two aircraft is on display at the Chinese Aviation Museum outside of Beijing.
By 1954, Tu-4's were beginning to be removed from military service and the Ramp Tramp was scrapped this year. The Tu-4 at Monino is the most original remaining example. The two turboprop Tu-4's in China are the only other known examples on display that I am aware of. | aerospace |

The flight celebrates Women's Heritage month.
Fairchild's six-person crew will fly a KC-135 on a training mission to Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Two crew chiefs, two pilots and two boom operators will be aboard the plane.
"It's really cool because, even though women are in every facet of the Air Force, it's not every day that we get a bunch of female air crew and ground crew together," Major Emma Steinbar said. "Actually in the 10 years flying a tanker, I've never been on an all female flight."
This will be a first for Major Emma Steinbar. Chief Master Sergeant Andrea Inmon said she's already been a crew member on a few other all-female flights.
"It's always just a lot of fun to go fly with an all women crew and just get to know each other as a team and what we bring to the fight," Inmon said.
Inmon said the flight should symbolize to other women that anything is possible when you just work hard.
"I never thought when I came into the Air Force that I would've had this opportunity," Inmon said. "A little about me-- I came in 18 years old joined the Air Force by basically looking at an airman's magazine it had a 135 refueling a B-52. I thought oh I want to do that and it's my senior year!"
Steinbar said she's proud to have these opportunities as well.
"I'm proud that I live in and grew up in a time where there was no ceiling and I could pursue whatever career I wanted and there were no gender challenges when it came to that," Steinbar said. | aerospace |

All 747 planes used by the PIA for a quarter of a century have now been grounded.
According to sources, just recently PIA has grounded one of it’s aircraft (747) which has been turned into a beautiful dining hall by the Airport Security Force (ASF), giving it a look of a spacious, high-end restaurant.
The space was given to the ASF by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) free of cost, which was turned into a park by the ASF.
The grounded 747 AP-BFV was also given by the PIA to the ASF free of cost.
The spacious upper deck of the Boeing 747 has been equipped with simple yet beautiful furniture i.e tables, chairs and comfortable sofas.
However, from the cockpit, one can see the scenic view of the park, where the plane is parked – near the ASF headquarters at the Karachi airport. | aerospace |

The arrival of a Boeing B-17G, converted in the 1980s to represent an “F” model and used in the movie “Memphis Belle,” was celebrated Saturday, as the crew flying the “Movie Memphis Belle” (MMB) aircraft landed safely and was immediately doused with champagne.
Saturday’s event marked the latest arrival of a series of historic aircraft now at the museum, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Combined, more than 75 static and airworthy historic aircraft — commonly referred to as warbirds — are on display at the museum. Some are available for rides.
It also marked a significant moment for the organization, whose founder, Bob Pond, was a driving force in the warbird community. Pond passed away in 2007, but his vision of expanding the museum’s flying fleet never faded.
“We took that vision seriously,” wrote Museum Vice Chairman Fred Bell in a statement Sunday. “Our challenge was that while it’s a clear goal – the details were not that simple. We had to ‘get the band back together’ and form a new team of folks that would get us there.
“It was fitting that a few days after our Twenty-Fifth Birthday, the B-17 ‘the Movie’ Memphis Belle has joined us as we continue our journey of flight to support Bob’s vision.”
Today, the museum is recognized as one of the finest of its type, welcoming thousands of visitors annually to see the warbirds and learn world history in four climate-controlled hangars totaling 86,000 square feet, and an additional 40,000 square feet outside on the tarmac.
“We began simply enough with a Stearman,” Bell said. “Over time, we got used to handling aircraft movement. The next step was to bring back Bunny, our P-51. Things got more complex, but we forged forward. Each aircraft brought new challenges and rewards. We added riders to the planes and event flyovers.
“In a way, we have returned to where we started all those years ago flying multiple aircraft to inspire future generations in the magic of flight and the wonder of what can be.”
The aircraft was previously located at the National Warplane Museum in Geneseo, New York, where it resided starting in 2016. While there, the plane underwent four propeller overhauls, two engine overhauls, and countless hours of additional maintenance and upkeep. The original Boeing B-17F Flying Fortress, known as Memphis Belle, is on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio.
The motion picture Memphis Belle is a fictionalization of the 1944 documentary Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress by director William Wyler, about the 25th and last mission of an American Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber based in England during World War II.
Plans for the aircraft in Palm Springs, including whether it continues to fly, are still being evaluated and will be announced at a future date.
More information: The Palm Springs Air Museum is located at 745 North Gene Autry Trail and is open every day from 10 AM until 5 PM, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Complete details on admissions, programs and more, can be found here. | aerospace |

If you’re lucky enough not to have come across the story, it concerns countries that receive development aid from Britain and also have space programmes of one kind of another. Outrageous, say UKIP, the tabloids and the anti-aid brigade.
“If a foreign government has enough cash to invest in an ambitious space programme,” says Matthew Sinclair of the ubiquitous Taxpayers Alliance, “it should not expect to be receiving cash from the UK which is earmarked for helping the world’s poorest.” Tory MP Philip Davies joins in: “We have got to say to these countries ‘you have got to spend that money on your people where it’s most needed not on some grandiose space programme’.”
There are a couple of assumptions here. One is that these schemes are ‘grandiose’ or ambitious. The second is that they won’t do any good for the poor. Neither of those things is necessarily true.
First, despite the tabloid talk of ‘joining the space race‘, these are generally not vanity projects. Most often we’re talking about astronomy programmes at African universities, taking advantage of the continent’s clear skies. If sending anything into space is involved at all, it’s satellites, not space missions. Usually the satellites are carried on other countries’ rockets, such as China’s or Russia’s. The main focus of space initiatives is often academic, aimed at developing local engineering expertise and encouraging science and innovation.
“Space programs in Africa are not focused on getting men in space,” says Professor Nithaya Chetty of South Africa’s space agency. “African governments are finally coming around to understand the critical importance of science as an instrument for development. Training in astronomy, and training in computing and engineering leads to skills that are very wide ranging and are transferable to other disciplines.”
Some of the countries being talked about have space programmes, but we shouldn’t read too much into the idea. Kenya is a leader in astronomy, but in terms of actual spacefaring ambitions, it has a disused Italian launchpad off Malindi that it would like to renovate as a commercial venture. Ghana’s Space Science and Technology Centre did launch its first ‘satellite’ this year, but it was the size of a coke can, built by students and was launched by weather balloon as a demonstration project.
The Daily Mail was being particularly disingenuous in its tutting about Uganda this week. The very same paper ran a story poking fun at Uganda’s ‘space programme’ two years ago, under the headline ‘Not exactly NASA!’. The Ugandan space project is run by volunteer enthusiasts, and suggesting Uganda doesn’t deserve our aid because of it is self-serving nonsense.
Secondly, satellite programmes can help the poor. Many parts of Africa, especially deeper rural areas, are badly connected and in desperate need of infrastructure. Satellite technology can open up communications to those regions far more cheaply than attempting to cable them all. This improves governance too, with governments able to keep in contact with the further reaches of the country.
Satellites can play a role in monitoring droughts, pollution, desertification and natural disasters. One of Nigeria’s satellites relays images of natural disaster zones to relief agencies, and was used to study malaria vectors. They can keep an eye on conflict zones and border disputes and track the movements of rebel forces, as the Satellite Sentinel Project does in Sudan. Now, that particular satellite project was set up by George Clooney and friends, so that’s obviously okay. If an African country had launched it, would it be a luxury vanity project that could have been better spend on the poor? Of course not.
Then there are agricultural and weather forecasting applications, global positioning and mapping technologies, data gathering and climate monitoring. Africa will benefit from all of these things, including the poor. Investing in these technologies is not an either/or decision between satellites and sanitation, any more than Britain has to choose between doing something about youth unemployment and supporting our own Space Agency.
British taxpayers’ money isn’t going towards space programmes in Africa, though plenty of our aid money does go astray, I’m sure. And I’m sure that some developing world space projects are nationalist ego projects with budgets that could be better spent elsewhere. But satellite technology is important and everyone has a right to it. We should celebrate African universities contributing to our knowledge of astronomy, providing Southern hemisphere platforms for space observation, and playing an active role in the advance of science.
Nigeria is even training the first bona fide African astronaut. Great. What could be a better symbol of a rising Africa? | aerospace |

We would be camping in the delta for two days, swimming in its shallow pools and navigating its twisting arteries by dug-out canoe, but as an introduction to the area, we could choose to fly over it first. At around £150 for an hour flight, it seemed like a good deal. In the little airport in Maun we handed over our credit cards and our passports, then were shuttled six at a time to tiny airplanes basking in the heat on the runway.
I could tell we were all a bit nervous; small planes have a tendency to do that to even the bravest souls. We took off, quickly leaving the the small city of Maun behind us. Within minutes, the delta appeared, verdant and alive, a contrast to the dusty ground we had spent the last few days learning. The water fanned out below, snaking its way through the lush landscapes. It seemed to go on forever, this vivid green against the blue of the sky. | aerospace |

The disaster shattered NASA’s spit-shined image and the belief that spaceflight could become as routine as airplane travel. The investigation into the accident’s cause revealed a space agency more concerned with schedules and public relations than safety and sound decision-making.
I remember where I was when this happened – do you? A flashpoint moment. A tragic loss and hard to believe it was 20 years ago already. Man, sometimes the realization how quickly time passes sneaks up and squashes you. This is one of those moments. | aerospace |

All the used ultralights for sale online include drifter’s, aero tucan’s and quick silver sport model microlights to name but a few and nearly all the second hand planes have low flying hours on them.
There’s something really great in buying a used ultralight plane and flying as free as a bird through the air. The joy of flight can be experienced in these aeroplanes and they are especially popular for those who have never flown before and are trying their hand for the very first time. The history of these aircraft tells us that years ago many people were looking for affordable ways to fly. Because of this many lightweight, slow flying aeroplanes were built by aviation companies. These airoplanes are what we now call today microlights or ultralight planes and many are for sale over the Internet.
These ultralight planes have to go through strict safety regulation tests and certification requirements vary from country to country with the UK being amongst the strictest in this regard. There are some countries however that the safety regulations do not exist and in these places ultralights are considered normal aircraft.
Different countries also name these aeroplanes different things and in some places you will find people calling them ultralight planes while in other places they will call these aircraft microlights. Whatever you want to call these flying machines is entirely up to you but rest assured if it is used ultralight planes for sale that you are looking for then online is the place. | aerospace |

The next step in the F3K evolution, Flare is the first DLG to use leading edge flaps in combination with the standard flaperons, resulting in a flight envelope never before seen on a DLG. Raise the leading edge flaps (LEF) for a clean high-speed airfoil, and lower the LEF and flaperons for a highly undercambered airfoil with turbulation on the top surface for high-lift and high-stability flying.
With the LEF and flaps raised, the wing is in its lowest-drag configuration, perfect for launching and acceleration in flight. Lower it slightly for cruise with incredible L/D and a super flat glide ratio. Lower it further with the maximum camber settings, and you will experience the most stable and easy to fly DLG you have flown... It just does not stall or fumble around even if you are flying too slow or if the air is turbulent! In this setting, you will almost feel like you are flying a high-dihedral Rudder-Elevator model in calm conditions.
The fuselage is designed with a stroke of madness and genius, we'll let you decide what's what! All 5 servos (5th servo is to control the LEF) is glued directly to the bottom of the internal fuselage, with full and easy access for installation and maintenance. The battery slips into the fuselage through a hole on top, and the receiver is installed either inside the fuselage behind the battery, or on the bottom of the inner fuselage behind the servos. Ballast is slipped in through the hole on top of the inner fuselage. Pushrods run directly from the servos to the control horns outside of the internal fuselage, everything is in sight and easy to manipulate, no more assembly headaches! Once the wing is bolted on and pushrods are attached, slip on the revolutionary back cover, and lock down everything by slipping on the nosecone. Every mm is optimised for space, yet everything is out in the open so easy to access when required.
Flare is constructed in of over 20 pieces of precision CNC-milled aluminum moulds, with solid core wings and tails. The wing is made up of the main wing with pre-faced flaperons, moulded in one piece. The LEF are each separately moulded before assembling it to the main wing, allowing each part to be fully enclosed with carbon fibre for maximum strength and stiffness. If you have a mid-air in a contest and damage the leading edge of your wing, you can change out your damaged LEF for a new one on the spot within minutes!
The Flare is a completely new animal in all aspects: design, construction, and flying behaviour. Without a doubt, this will satisfy those who are always looking for the leading edge of DLG technology and innovation.

Cloud-based smart contract-as-a-service platform SIMBA Chain announced yesterday that it had been awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant by the US Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (AFRSO) to print sophisticated aircraft parts.
In collaboration with Steel Modular, Inc., SIMBA Chain will provide AFRSO with mobile 20-40 foot disposable containers, each one containing a metal and fibre additive 3D manufacturing facility. The containers can be climate-controlled and transported anywhere, and will use advanced 3D printing to manufacture, test, and deploy replacement parts for aircraft and weaponry.
The solution is part of the Department of Defense’s and the US Air Force’s goal of transitioning engineering practices to digital engineering, and all critical information and conversations during the manufacturing process will be secured on the blockchain. SIMBA Chain could also receive a further $1 million in a Phase II grant if Phase I is successful.
CEO of SIMBA Chain, Joel Neidig, explained, “At the heart of this project is enabling and safeguarding the digital supply chain and that’s exactly where SIMBA Chain flexes its muscles. Our blockchain technology ensures data integrity and protects against tampering of intellectual property and communications. Sophisticated hackers are a very real threat and deploying SIMBA Chain globally and on a distributed, decentralized basis, provides an unhackable barrier and protects supply chain governance.”
The project will speed up the turnaround time for producing new parts from months to days, and will also mean that older planes can remain serviceable, even if replacement parts for them aren’t commercially available.
The immutable, transparent, and verifiable nature of SIMBA Chain’s blockchain platform makes it ideal for a range of Department of Defense and other projects. So far, over 4,300 organisations use the platform and it hosts more than 2,300 applications.
Other use cases for SIMBA Chain’s technology include tracking solar energy, providing an early warning system for a chemical manufacturing supply chain, adding accountability to child support, and creating better housing records.

New Engine Technology
By Thierry Dubois
New aircraft designs boost engine demand
Demand for lower fuel consumption, more power and improved reliability keeps
engine manufacturers constantly renewing their market offerings. Simultaneously,
the growing number of aircraft models on the market, due to both the emergence
of the very light jet (VLJ) segment and the numerous derivative designs aircraft
makers are marketing, demands an ever expanding range of engines.
In its business aviation outlook, Honeywell Aerospace forecast deliveries
of as many as 745 new business jets last year, up from 589 in 2004. This
year deliveries are expected to exceed 800 for the first time in industry
history. Of course, that translates into record numbers of engine deliveries,
Williams, for example, told AIN it delivered “more than 300 general aviation
turbofans” last year and plans to deliver “more than 400” this year. Rolls-Royce
also delivered high numbers of corporate aircraft engines, with 133 BR710s
(for the Bombardier Globals and Gulfstream G500 series) and 56 Tay 611-8Cs
(for the Gulfstream G350/450). GE delivered 76 CF34-3B engines for the Challenger
604 last year and expects to deliver the same number both this year and next.
P&WC, which did not separate engine deliveries by category, told AIN
that it delivered “more than 2,000 engines” last year. This year, it plans
to double post-9/11 production–a low of 1,200 engines.
In the helicopter segment alone, Rolls-Royce delivered 334 Model 250s last
year and plans to deliver 400 this year. Turbomeca told AIN that it expects
to deliver 930 helicopter engines this year, up from 650 last year, when
it delivered approximately 80 Makilas, 140 Arriuses and 430 Arriels. “However,
those figures include some military applications for our civil engines,”
said Charles Claveau, Turbomeca’s director of helicopter engine programs.
After deliveries of 40 CT7 turboshafts last year, GE is planning 42 for this
Predictions for the Near Term
What about market trends? “The helicopter market is generally in good shape.
The market for civil helicopters remains steady and may benefit from additional
parapublic orders as a result of its high-profile roles in recent disaster-recovery
operations; the high price of oil is also driving offshore demand,” according
to Rolls-Royce. GE’s Harry Nahatis, director of turboshaft engine sales,
agreed. “High oil prices are encouraging exploration by oil companies,” he
Turbomeca’s Claveau sees the market growing until 2008 or 2009. “We expect
this year’s orders to equal those of last year. However, our increasing delivery
numbers are due to the market shares we earned, more than overall market
growth,” he said. He added that the demand is strong in emergency medical
services and that “India and China have huge needs.” Generally speaking,
“the helicopter industry wants to bring its safety record up to that of the
airlines, which implies some renewal of the world fleet of rotorcraft,” he
Rolls-Royce put a figure on its predictions for the helicopter market over
the next three years: “A flat but steady market, with 1 percent growth per
year or so.” Competitor P&WC is experiencing “a considerable upturn”
in its helicopter business, which has been “very strong” this year and is
predicted to continue at this rate of growth.
For all three engine categories–turbofan, turboprop and turboshaft– P&WC
executives see an international market that is “buoyant again.” They note,
“Most of our customers have healthy order backlogs, so the market should
show solid growth for at least the next few years. Beyond that, who can say;
it is a cyclic industry depending heavily on corporate profits and overall
Nonetheless, with its PW600 turbofan line powering three of the in-development
VLJs–the Cessna Citation Mustang, the Eclipse 500 and the Embraer Phenom
100–P&WC is looking forward to “rapid continued growth.” The PW600 will
enter production early this year.
According to Newtown, Conn.-based Forecast International, “Pratt & Whitney
will be the major bene- factor of [the new VLJ] class of aircraft by providing
its PW600 series turbofan.” The market research firm sees that category of
engines stimulating the turbofan engine market.
“These engines, lumped into the 0- to 70-seat aircraft segment, will see
a 50-percent increase in production during the forecast period–from 1,997
in 2005 to 3,110 in 2014,” said Aero Gas Turbine Analyst Will Alibrandi,
author of a late-2004 study.
Charles Blankenship, general manager of GE’s small commercial engine operation,
sees “a steady to improving market volume due to the expectation of continued
strong corporate performance.”
In stark contrast to the picture a decade ago, turboprops are facing tough
competition from small turbofans and even, at the lower end of the spectrum,
from diesel engines. However, according to Forecast International, “As the
requirement for larger turboprop engines grows, we can look forward to manufacturers
adapting other designs, particularly turbofans, for turboprop variants.”
Forecast International predicts that during the 2004 to 2013 time period,
the market for turboprop engines will remain strong, with production of 9,538
engines worth $7.8 billion.
New Market Entrants
So business aviation is thriving, helicopters are enjoying a healthy market
and the choice of engines available to aircraft manufacturers has increased
significantly. In the last decade, P&WC alone has developed some 45 engines.
However, in a striking difference from the aircraft manufacturing industry,
the number of new entrants in the engine field is much lower. Excluding the
established OEMs, there are only two other companies making engines.
In 2004 GE and Honda established their joint venture, GE Honda Aero Engines,
to develop and market the HF118 in the 1,700-pound thrust class. The HF118
engine has recently benefited from several technical improvements (see turbofan
story page 38) to make the engine attractive to VLJ manufacturers. Although
the engine lost to P&WC in the contest to power Embraer’s new small jets,
GE and Honda are continuing their cooperative effort. The 50/50 joint venture
foresees annual sales of at least 200 VLJs.
In France, start-up company Price Induction is striving to ground-test its
first 560-pound-thrust turbofan, the DGEN 380, in a few weeks (see turbofan
story page 38). The 12-employee enterprise is aiming to enable the creation
of a new class of light aircraft–in short, a Cirrus with turbofans. “P&WC’s
PW600 line is made for small business jets, whereas our engine will fit enhanced
general aviation airplanes,” Bernard Etcheparre, the company’s founder and
CEO, told AIN.
Less capable than the Eclipse 500, Adam A700 and so on, such a light aircraft
would also be less expensive. The DGEN 380 will be suited for a 250-knot
cruise speed and a 12,000-foot cruise altitude. “Instead of $200 to $250
million for a current VLJ, the aircraft’s cost of development would be in
the $30 to $35 million range,” Etcheparre predicted. That would yield a $650,000
to $700,000 price for the finished airplane. The engine will sell for $106,000.
Etcheparre believes pilots upgrading from piston singles to DGEN-powered
jets would find a speed advantage without the need for a dramatic advance
in flying technique.
But Price Induction is pursuing more than just the owner-flown aircraft market.
“The air-taxi concept, if successful, will be better addressed by the kind
of aircraft we are working on than other, bigger ones,” Etcheparre asserted.
Have any aircraft manufacturers ordered DGEN engines? “Several are interested
in it and did come to our design offices in Anglet, in the southwest of France,
and all said, ‘Run your engine first!’” Etcheparre said.
Agilis Engines, once a contender in the small turbofan market, failed to
find an application for its TF1000 engine line after the original Safire
S-26 project was shelved in 2002. | aerospace |

The 16th batch of 60 satellites headed toward orbit at 9:13 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The launch marks the 100th such mission for a Falcon 9 rocket, and boosts the number of Starlink satellites in orbit to more than 900.
A risk of rough seas in the Atlantic Ocean, where Elon Musk’s company wants to land the booster on a droneship, prevented the launch on Monday night. Rough seas remained a risk on Tuesday night, according to a U.S. Space Force forecast, but the launch took place as planned.

What I'd like to know is, why were they able to make safe and reliable fuel tanks during most of the space race in the 60's and 70's and even 80's, but today they keep falling apart? It began with the Challenger disaster in 1986, and has kept on happening ever since.
They're spending too much money killing people than they are on building decent space technology. Idiots.

A row of 13 lights were spotted in the night sky over Dursley last night, prompting some residents to speculate H.G Wells tripods might finally be visiting earth.
But fear not, this train of lights is really part of Elon Musk’s Starlink project – an attempt to beam the internet to Earth from space using thousands of satellites.
U.S-based company SpaceX, which is run by Mr Musk, launched its first satellite in May 2019 and now has 360 in orbit.
When the sun sinks below the horizon, the satellites reflective surfaces appear visible in the night sky.
The company plans to operate between 12,000 and 42,000 satellites, which the BBC reported outshine 99 percent of all other satellites.
Forbes found that astronomers have raised concerns the satellites are obstructing their study of the universe.
Each satellite weighs around 260 kilograms, including four array antennas and ion thrusters using SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket.
They are powered using large solar panels and once they reach the end of their life, they use an on-board propulsion system to deorbit, which SpaceX hopes will limit space waste surrounding the earth.

TransAsia Airways flight GE222 was said to be carrying 54 passengers and four crew members on a flight from Kaohsiung to Makung, in the Penghu archipelago.
According to officials, the ATR-72 (turboprop) aircraft had departed Kaohsiung at 5.43pm (Taiwan time; Malaysia and Taiwan are in the same time zone), after being delayed from its scheduled 4pm departure time due to bad weather.
The short flight time was extended at its arrival in Makung Airport after stormy weather, in the wake of Typhoon Matmo, prevented it from landing.
According to the popular English-language daily, the pilot was reportedly asked to wait until 7.06pm before being allowed to land.
A first attempt at landing reportedly failed, and the pilot then made a request to make a second try. Shortly after, the Makung air traffic control lost contact with the flight, Taiwan News reported, quoting officials.
The plane reportedly smashed hard into the ground in the township of Huxi, causing a fire involving two homes. Online pictures showed a heavily damaged house and wreckage from the plane.
No one was killed or hurt in the buildings. Eleven injured people on the plane were taken to hospital, the government said.
“It was thunderstorm conditions during the crash,” said Hsi Wen-guang, a spokesman for the Penghu County Government Fire Bureau.
“From the crash site we sent 11 people to hospital with injuries. A few empty apartment buildings adjacent to the runway caught fire, but no one was inside at the time and the fire was extinguished.”
About 100 firefighters were sent to the scene, besides 152 military personnel and 255 police, he added.
There was no immediate information about what caused the pilot’s change of plans and how the passengers were injured, though media reports spoke of a fire and of the injured suffering burns.
Taiwan News identified the pilot as being 60-year-old Lee Yi-liang.
Makung Airport was closed down after the incident.
Meanwhile, the Chinese-language Apple Daily reported that over the past 13 years, TransAsia Airways suffered eight accidents, including six with the French-Italian ATR-72. | aerospace |

ental rocket engine interceptor-fighter), and his evolution we related to a particular person: Bakhchivandzhi. In this document we are going to talk about his talented life and his achievements. I hope you enjoy his history.
Capt. Grigory ya. Bkahchivandzhi, the BI interceptor’s second Project test pilot-and the first to make a powered flight int the BI [GORDON, Yefim. Soviet Rocket Fighters-Red Star [vol.30]. Midland Publishing, Hinckley (England), 2006. Pg. 15.]
Grigory Yakovlevich Bakhchivandzhi was born on 20th February 1909 in the village of Brinkovsakaya in Krasnodar Territory. At an early age he had worked in a foundry, then as assistant driver of steam locomotive after he had taken part in the construction of a factory in Mariupol and worked as a mechanic there. In 1931 enrolled in red Army, three years later he graduated from the Orenburg Military Flying School. In 1935 he became a test pilot at the Air Force Research Institute –NII-. At first Bakhchivandzhi flew reconnaissance aircrafts, then fighters. Some time later he became a talented flight testing pilot of aircraft engines.
Consequently the Second World War, in 1941 he had interrupted his work as test pilot. In that moment many Air Force NII test pilots became combat pilots, Bakhchi joined combat as a pilot of the 402nd special fighter regiment. Between 1st July and 10th August Bakhchivandzhi flew seventy two combat sorties, he took part on the air battles in a fighter squadron during the first months and shot down six enemy aircraft. In mid-August 1941 he, recalled from the front to continue his test work at NII VVS. Was in this period of time that Bakhchi wrote the firsts pages about earlier history of rocket propeller development. Bakhchivandzhi with more test pilots and different engineers, participate in testing BI jet plane.
Project to develop a high-speed rocket-engined fighter, build for designer Aleksandr Yakovlevich Berenyak –the leading engineer who developed the aircraft’s airframe- and Aleksei Mikhailovich Isayev –the leading engineer who development the fuel system, Il’ya Florov –deputy chief designer who directed the design work on the aircraft and the calculations-, working at OKB of Viktor Fedorovich Bolkhovitinov. The testing of new aircraft technology, course near Sverdolovsk, where the Air Force NII had been evacuated from suburban Moscow area of Shchelkovo.

Midland Publishing, Hinckley (England), 2006. Pg. 15.]
On 15th May 1942 Bakhchivandzhi performed first flight in the BI first model. On 17th October 1942 he was awarded with the Order of Lenin for the testing of the world’s first combat fighter powered by a liquid-fuel rocket motor. Spent seven month for Bakhchinvandzhi’s second flight. On 10th January 1943 executed flight in the second model of the BI aircraft. In this test flight the aircraft reached an altitude of 1,000 meters in 63 seconds at a speed of 400 Kilometers/hour. Two months later, on 11 and 14 March, having returned from Moscow, Bakhchi executed the fourth and five fifth flights. The aircraft could now reach an altitude of 4,000 meters after the engine had run for 80 seconds, with a maximum climb rate of 82 meters/second. On 21th March 1943 he performed the sixth flight with new third model of the BI. The particularities to these test consisted in the aircraft carrying the full battle scale of ammunition at maximum thrust. On 27 March Bakhchi performed seventh flight of the BI, the last flight for this brilliant pilot. This test flight end with death of Bakhchivandzhi. In that flight Bakhchi had got “attainment of an airspeed of 750-800 Km/h in level flight at 2,000 meters (6,560 ft), with and engine thrust of 1,100 kpg (2,425 Ibst). The amount of propellants in the tanks was 497kg (1,096 Ib). The BI No.3 easily lifted off the runway, climbed to altitude and tansitioned to level flight. After the automatic shut down of themotor, which had been in operation for 27 seconds in that flight, nothing foreboded trouble. All of a sudden the aircraft, which was flying horizontally, lowered it nose, entered a dive and plunged into a frozen lake near a small village (…)The flight had lasted 6 minutes and 42 seconds”

REASONS THAT CAUSED THE FIGHTER ENTER IN DEATH DIVE
The accident investigation “report the board noted that phenomena taking place at speeds of 800-1000 km/h (496-621 mph) had not yet been explored. In the opinion of the “tin Kickers”, these speeds could be accompanied by new factors influencing the controllability stability and control forces; these factors might diverge with the current notions and, in consequence, might fail to be taken into account.“The true air speed was never documented; the flight recorders were destroyed in the crash and there were no precise ground measurements. It is worth remembering that at that time the official world speed record was 709,2 kilometers/ hour. The commission determined that the aircraft did not break up in the air. They could only hypothesize that during high speeds in flight new phenomena occur which affect controllability and loads on the controls. Four years later, tests conducted in the new TsaGI wind tunnels confirmed the possibility of an aircraft being dragged into a dive at speeds of around 800-1,000 kilometers/ hour.”
How Boris Chertok wrote in his book Rocket and People [vol.I]: “Bakhchivandzhi died having executed a “flight into the future”. There was much in this “future” ahead of us that was unknown and dangerous(…) Bakhchivandzhi was the first Soviet man to take off directly from the Earth’s surface using the thrust of a liquid-propellant rocket engine.”

The airport, named after the Aruban Minister Juancho Irausquin, has one of the shortest commercial runways in the world, only 400 metres (1,312 ft) long, flanked on one side by high hills, with cliffs that drop into the sea at both ends. Although the airport is closed to jet traffic, regional airline propeller aircraft are able to land there under waivers from The Netherlands Antilles’ Civil Aviation Authority. The most common aircraft to land there are the Twin Otter and BN-2 Islander.
Jet aircraft are unable to land at the airport, because the runway is too short, but smaller STOL airplanes (such as the DHC-6, BN-2, and helicopters) are common sights there. A small ramp and terminal are on the southwest flank of the runway. The ramp also has a designated helipad. The terminal building houses offices for Winair, immigration and security, a fire department with one fire truck, and a tower. The tower is an advisory service only and does not provide air traffic control. Aviation fuel is not available on the island of Saba.
Airlines and destinations
The only airline currently providing scheduled services to and from Yrausquin Airport is locally owned Winair, which operates daily flights to Sint Maarten aboard a de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter. On average, flights to Saint Maarten last no longer than 15 minutes.

Space exploration may long have been the domain of national governments due to the huge budgets required. Investment from the private sector was slow to pick up due to uncertain economic returns and the concern that their involvement will in some way downplay the virtues of science. However, recent developments have seen increased participation by the private sector, ranging from partnerships with federal space programs to commercial space flights. As an investor, determine whether there is value to be unlocked from your support of space exploration activities, the feasibility of making a consistent return on investment and your capacity for risk.
Invest in Stocks
You do not need to be a billionaire to invest in outer space. Several exchange-traded funds invest in aerospace companies likely to be involved in space exploration technology and related equipment. You can opt to buy stock in individual aerospace firms after diligent research to find firms that have the best track record. Investing in space ventures directly is too risky, and you have to be experienced and knowledgeable about the respective companies' technology, management and business plans. In addition, their stocks are likely to plummet hard after setbacks or major disasters, so getting a diversified fund spreads the risk.
You can choose to invest your money in mutual funds with diversified holdings in aerospace companies. The mutual fund will be a collection of stocks, bonds and other securities. Your investment will yield money from dividends, distribution if the fund makes capital gains, or by selling your portfolio if the fund's shares increase in price. Choose an investment that is low risk if you are new to the investment world or the space technology industry.
Space Exploration Start-Up
Private enterprise, especially individuals with deep pockets, can start their own aerospace technology firms for either space exploration and transportation or mining activities on various celestial bodies. For transportation, you will not be reinventing the wheel, as you will be in good company among the few businesses that make such flights. Mining materials from asteroids is an idea that has gained ground in some quarters, the only handicap being the cost and expertise for such a mission. In either investment, you can team up with partners with expertise in aerospace technology while you finance the venture.
Patent with NASA
Since its inception, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been instrumental in developing many new ideas and ground-breaking technologies used in day-to-day living. These include digital image processing currently employed in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRIs) and CT ("cat") scans, polyurethane-silicon plastic used in memory foam mattresses, and satellites for global positioning systems used in car GPS units and in cell phones, among other technologies. These developments were a result of private companies teaming up with NASA. You can leverage NASA expertise in testing out your new ideas that can later be patented for commercial use.

The destruction of Shanghai by a meteorite forces the government to reveal the asteroid's existence, as well as their plan.
The film follows a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers sent by NASA to stop a gigantic asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
NASA discovers through the Hubble Space Telescope that the meteors were debris propelled from the asteroid belt by a rogue asteroid roughly the size of Texas, christened "Dottie" by its discoverer.
The asteroid will collide with Earth in 18 days, causing a second extinction event.
NASA scientists, led by Dan Truman, plan to trigger a thermonuclear detonation at least 800 ft (244 m) inside the asteroid to split it in two, driving the pieces apart so both will fly past the Earth.
NASA plans to launch two specialized Space Shuttle orbiters, the X-71s, Freedom and Independence, to increase the chances of success; the shuttles will refill with liquid oxygen from the 11-year-old Russian space station Mir (which is modified to have artificial gravity by rotating on itself) before making a slingshot maneuver around the Moon to approach the asteroid from behind.

Our year 3 children are being space biologists and embarking on a voyage of discovery by growing seeds that have been into space!
In September, 2kg of rocket seeds were flown to the International Space Station (ISS) on Soyuz 44S where they spent several months in microgravity before returning to Earth in March. The seeds were sent as part of Rocket Science, an educational project launched by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and the UK Space Agency.
Our school is one of up to 10,000 schools who have received a packet of 100 seeds from space, which we are now growing alongside seeds that haven’t been to space and measuring the differences over seven weeks. The children won’t know which packet contained which seeds until all results have been collected by the RHS Campaign for School Gardening and analysed by professional biostatisticians.
The out-of-this-world, nationwide science experiment is enabling the children to think more about how we could preserve human life on another planet in the future, what astronauts need to survive long-term missions in space and the difficulties surrounding growing fresh food in challenging climates.
Rocket Science is just one educational project from a programme developed by the UK Space Agency to celebrate British ESA astronaut Tim Peake’s Principia mission to the ISS and inspire young people to look into careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, including horticulture.
If you'd like to see how the seeds are doing pop into Year 3 and have a look. | aerospace |

Over the years, the program has been divided into several phases. The first began in 2001 with the launch of the SICRAL 1, no longer in service. The second phase began in 2009 with the launch of SICRAL 1B, and the third phase, in cooperation with France, started in April 2015 with the launch of SICRAL 2.
In 2021, Telespazio and Thales Alenia Space have signed a contract with the Italian Ministry of Defense for the development of the SICRAL 3 secure satellite communications system, including its ground segment.
SICRAL 3 will include two geostationary satellites, SICRAL 3A and SICRAL 3B, designed to meet Italian defense communications and interoperability requirements.
It will ensure continuity with the current SHF and UHF-band telecom services provided by the SICRAL 1B and SICRAL 2 satellites, while expanding its suite of services by providing a Ka-band payload, as well as supporting security, public rescue and civil protection services.
SICRAL 3 will also capitalize on the ongoing developments within the ItalGovSatCom (I-GSC) program, a pillar of the evolving “Space Economy” and the programmes of military research and will help expand NATO’s current satellite capabilities.
The Vigna di Valle Control Center
For all the SICRAL missions, Telespazio managed the phases of design, construction, integration and testing of the ground segment at the Defence Control Centre (CIGC) of Vigna di Valle (Rome) and in the Fucino Space Centre, that plays the role of back-up centre. Telespazio also managed the LEOP (Launch and Early Orbit Phase) and IOT (In-Orbit Test) phases.
For SICRAL 1B and SICRAL 2, Telespazio also succeeded in the launch services. For SICRAL 2, Telespazio is also responsible for the interconnection system between the Italian and French mission centres.
Telespazio has participated in the investments for the construction of SICRAL 1B and SICRAL 2, thus consolidating its role as military telecommunications satellite operator (MILSATCOM). The company has part of the transmission capacity of SICRAL 1B and SICRAL 2 and provides communications services to the Armed Forces of NATO member states.

Already an Air training Corps instructor with some aerobatic training, Valentich needed more night-flying experience for his commercial pilot’s license. His 150 hours aloft had mostly been in the single-engine Cessna that he was now flying.
At 7 PM Vaentich advised Air Traffic Control that he was over Cape Otway and about to cross Bass Strait, the stretch of ocean separating Tasmania from mainland Australia. He called again at 7:06 PM to ask if any known traffic were in the area. When advised that there were not, he reported a large aircraft below 1,500 meters, “it is four bright, it seems to me like landing lights . . . The aircraft has just passed over me at least 1,000 feet above.” Then at 7:08 PM Valentich reported, “he’s flying over me two three timeas at atime at speeds I could not identify . . . It’s not an aircraft. It is . . . “ Radio contat was briefly broken and then he continued. “As it’s flying past it’s a long shape . . . [Cannot] identify more than [that it has such speed].”
Ah to go to King Island. Ah that strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again. It is hovering and it’s not an aircraft.” The Melbourne flight controller acknowledged that call, and reported hearing some metallic noises on the radio Valentich did not speak again.
An air search began on Sunday October 22nd, and fishing boats from King Island patrolled the sea. But hundreds of search hours failed to locate the missing Cessna or its pilot.
The Australian Department of Transport states simply, “The reason for the disappearance of the aircraft has not been established.” Believers in the paranormal in Australia, New Zealand and America have suggested that Valentich is alive and working with underwater aliens. Guido Valentich believes that his son could have been taken by a UFO, and that perhaps he will one day be returned. But it seems more likely that the unfortunate pilot, unused to twilight zone conditions, became confused by the flashing lighthouses on Cape Otway and king Island and crashed into the sea.

This was not an emergency landing, however. Life Flight was at Walmart for a customer appreciation day that Walmart was hosting.
The Life Flight crew was not the only group of first responders there. A crew from the Roxboro Fire Department, including Chief Kenneth Torain, was at the event, as well as members of the Roxboro Police Department.
Duke Life Flight was founded in 1985 as the first hospital-based emergency transport service in North Carolina, becoming the most active first-year flight program in the country, according to the agency’s website. Life Flight started as only one helicopter and has grown into two helicopters and seven ambulances. Life Flight flies with one pilot and two medical crew members, according to pilot Dave Triplett.
Triplett has been with Duke since 2011. Triplett has also flown in Camden, S.C. and Wytheville, Va. Along with Triplett at the Walmart event we’re paramedics Laura Cottee and Mary “Ally” Griffin.
Griffin has been with Duke for two and a half years and Cottee has been with Duke for one and a half years. Cottee and Griffin have both been serving in EMS since they were 16 years old. | aerospace |

This process was expensive and inefficient, so ULA decided to combine all manufacturing processes into one centralized location.
ULA produces Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles (EELV) for the U.S. government and other clients. Gresham Smith was tasked with designing modifications and additions to the existing 1.5 million-square-foot facility to support this effort. The work includes clean rooms, humidity and environmental controls, and high purity piping systems.
The Decatur facility has lowered costs in several ways including the elimination of the jet fuel necessary for the extremely large aircraft used to transport different parts to a single assembly area. Any savings that ULA realizes directly benefits taxpayers. | aerospace |

After 55 years in operation, the Scottish flight school; Tayside Aviation Limited, based at Dundee Airport has entered into administration. The flight school was founded back in February 1968 by pilot, Lovat Fraser. It provided training courses for both private and full commercial licenses.
Tayside Aviation was awarded the first RAF Flying Scholarship contract back in 1978 and in 1994 became the sole UK contractor for the Flying Scholarship Scheme (FSS) and trained over 500 cadets per year with the support of seven sub contractors throughout the UK. Tayside Aviation continued running the Air Cadet Pilot Scheme scholarships for over 30 years. The Pilot Scheme recently went through a competition tendering process as the existing contract with Tayside Aviation was coming to an end. An RAF spokesman said it was reviewing available options for the future delivery of the scholarship.
Tayside Aviation was purchased by the current owner Tony Banks in December 2021, with an already considerable liability for prepaid flying courses.
The current administrators said “Despite a significant investment from the shareholder of £1.5m in addition to the purchase price, these issues have led to ongoing working capital requirements that are unable to be funded.”
“We will be taking all steps to rapidly assess whether there are any parties who would have an interest in the business and assets, and would advise those with an interest to make contact quickly.
We appreciate that there will be many customers who are in receipt of pre-paid flying hours.”
Creditors (including all Flying Courses & Gift Vouchers) should forward any enquiries to the designated email address as follows: firstname.lastname@example.org
Any parties interested in any of the company’s assets should note their interest using the following email address: TAinterestedparties@interpathadvisory.com

What is an Aviation?
Aviation is the activities surrounding mechanical flight and the aircraft industry, hence, aviation education prepares a student for the manufacturing and design of airplanes.
Overview of Aviation And Flying Education in Namibia
Working in the fields of aeronautics, aviation and aerospace science requires at least a bachelor’s degree and can often require a master’s or doctorate degree.
Some master’s degree programs in aviation and aerospace science offer specialization areas in air traffic control, aviation safety, aviation management and aerospace operations, to name a few.
Here are some study fields in aviation
Aerospace engineers design and construct new aircraft and spacecraft, including missiles and rockets. They develop models, use knowledge of physics to anticipate and correct problems and test new systems for flaws before moving into final production.
Aircraft pilots are professionals who fly airplanes. Most aircraft pilots work for commercial airlines, while the rest perform other tasks such as crop dusting, traffic monitoring and flying passengers and cargo to remote areas.
Aerospace Science Professor
Students who complete an advanced degree program, such as a master’s degree program, but more often a Ph.D. program, may consider becoming aerospace science professors.
These professionals train and instruct students on aerospace design and aviation.

- Must be not less than 18 years of age; an upper age limit of 24 years of age is recommended.
How long do you have to go to school for aviation in Namibia?
It takes 3 months to become a pilot and earn your private pilot license. To become an airline pilot, it takes just over two years to gain the required 1,500 hours flight time.
Which subject is best for pilot in Namibia?
To pursue Aviation as a career, you need to opt for science stream – Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry being compulsory subjects.
Is it hard to become a pilot in Namibia?
If becoming an airline pilot is your career objective; learning to fly an actual airplane is not the most difficult part. Some smaller, regional airlines might require no more than a two-year degree to become a pilot.
Do I need a 4 year degree to be a pilot in Namibia?
The United States is the only country in the world with major airlines that require four-year degrees in order to be a pilot. And that requirement is proving to be not only unnecessary for successful flying—but also unfair for low-income Americans in particular.
Some smaller, regional airlines might require no more than a two-year degree to become a pilot.
How long is Army Aviation School?
The traditional initial rotary-wing flight training model is 32 weeks and consists of four phases. Upon graduation the students will have accumulated 179 hours of flight instruction totaling 149 in an aircraft and 30 in a simulator.
Is Army Flight School Hard in Namibia?
It is long days and a lot of work outside of class and flightline (flightline is what they call the part of flight school where you actually go and fly). You often have 12 hour days and you still have to knock out a couple of hours of studying at night.
How long is Army helicopter pilot school?
How long is training to become an Army helicopter pilot? Without a degree, you’ll need 10 weeks of Basic and 5 to 7 weeks of Warrant Officer School. With a degree, Officer Candidate Training is 12 weeks long. Flight School is 32, weeks and specialty training 14 to 23 weeks.
Can an average student become a pilot in Namibia?
Any average guy can become a pilot if he has the money to go to a flight school, but the difficulty is to get into a good major airline.
How do pilots get paid in Namibia?
Airline pilots are hourly employees and are paid by flight hour. Due to the constraints placed on pilots by the FAA, most fly about 85 hours per month. There are more work hours involved, such as preflight planning, but time in the cockpit, and thus the pay, is usually about 85 hours monthly.
Can I become a pilot without maths in Namibia?
It’s not possible for you to become a pilot because mathematics is basic required for this field without mathematics you will not be able to solve the problems which will arise before you.
What degree do most pilots have in Namibia?
To become a pilot, you need a bachelor’s degree in aircraft operations, aviation, aeronautical engineering, or a related field. In addition, you will complete up to two months of ground training and need more than 1,500 hours of flight experience.
How hard is pilot ground school in Namibia?
The flight school will be hard only if the student pilot does not put effort during their ground schooling. Furthermore, the early stage of a pilot’s flight training is pretty straightforward. It will get more laborious as you progress into advanced flying procedures and maneuvers.

The article presents and describes research results concerning determination of an impact of the ionospheric correction upon the positioning accuracy of an aircraft. The main objective of examinations was to verify three ionospheric models (the Klobuchar model, SBAS model and IONEX model) in determining aircraft coordinates. In the framework of the conducted simulations, the authors determined the aircraft coordinates by means of the SPP code method in the GPS system. The article presents a comparison of the determined aircraft coordinates in the SPP code method in relation to an accurate solution in the RTK-OTF differential technique. Based on the obtained results, it was found that e use of the SBAS and IONEX model is exploited to improve the positioning accuracy of an aircraft in relation to the Klobuchar model, from 20% to 72%, in the geocentric XYZ frame. The obtained findings of a simulation indicate that the ionospheric correction in the SBAS and IONEX models may be used to improve the performance of aircraft coordinates in air navigation. | aerospace |

It’s also an organisation that funds a multitude of businesses and projects looking to use space and satellite technology to enhance a particular field.
Many of these projects are ones that utilise drone technology to help tackle certain issues. Drones can be useful in a variety of processes, ranging from surveillance to crop management to rescue missions!
We’ve compiled a short list below of projects the ESA is currently funding, which aim towards bringing significant strides to their respective target areas.
These projects showcase how drones can be used alongside space technology:
Audros focuses on using UAV technology to assist in identifying CBRNE threats. The aim is to introduce drones into areas such as the military, border control and the fire brigade to identify potential or existing threats.
These drones would be autonomous and remotely feed the information back to the people who need to be informed through Satellite technology, resulting in quick and reliable actions.
DroSecMa has an interesting approach to drone technology.
Their project actually involves mitigating the risks involved with the increasingly heavy use of drones in recent!
In doing so, they aim to fine-tune their use towards enhanced surveillance and inspection. Believing their capabilities to far extend into this field, DroSecMa feels drone technology can help us in certain situations where human interaction might otherwise prove harmful.
Monitoring crops and overall field management is extremely important to farmers. Drone technology can be implemented to help make this process more efficient and maximise the best possible output.
Bioscope wants to utilise drones by having them remotely monitor crops and feed high resolution images back to the farmers, detailing each crop’s condition at specific times during the growing season.
This will help both farmers and farm advisors. This form of remote sensing will not only make field management more efficient, but it’ll also help agricultural users in their decision making towards different processes.
SIS-REM focuses on the improvement of Search & Rescue (S&R) operations, by tightening the security and safety of each S&R mission so that overall more lives are saved (including those going out on the missions).
Utilising drones can work in two ways; entertainment and mountain rescue support.
Instead of people risking their own livelihoods to get iconic photo moments, for example, a drone will be deployed. Controlled through a mobile app, the drone will go into hard-to-reach areas and take pictures and videos.
When it comes to emergencies, drones can be controlled through GINA software and used to monitor the mountain (and any particular areas deemed critical when searching for someone). The drones will then feed information back to the rescue patrol, using pictures and video streams to help speed up the process and not waste critical time. | aerospace |

Washington, October 11, 2017
Washington, D.C. — Today, Congressman Charlie Crist (D-St. Petersburg) joined Congressman Steve Knight (R-CA) and Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur (D-OH) in announcing the creation of the House NASA Caucus. Led by co-chairs Knight and Kaptur, Crist will serve as a founding member of this new caucus aimed at bringing attention to current initiatives that advance NASA'S legacy, programmatic and resource challenges, and conversations in preparation of future public endeavors. Crist also serves on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee and its Subcommittee on Space.
The NASA Caucus was formed to help strengthen policymaker awareness of NASA’s many connections to our national security and economic interests, provide a bipartisan forum to discuss the scientific and technological challenges to American flight and space exploration endeavors, and serve as a focal point for public and private sector air and space expertise that cover the full range of NASA’s initiatives.
“Our nation’s leadership in space exploration is key to innovation, technology development, scientific discovery, and educational research – advancing our society and economy. Florida has long been a hub for space exploration and research at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, which facilitates tremendous advances in both the public and private sectors,” said Rep. Crist. “I’m proud to be a founding member of the Congressional NASA Caucus, as well as serving on the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, advocating for NASA’s important work fostering breakthroughs to keep us moving forward.”
Today is also the anniversary of the launch of the first NASA spacecraft, Pioneer I, in 1958. NASA and its predecessor agency the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) have led many advances in aeronautics and aerospace technology that mark significant inflection points in American and world history.
“There has been a lack of representation in the educational activities on Capitol Hill for many of NASA’s most important programs. Many of these programs that are critical to U.S. national interests, and there is an interest here to learn more and support them. But the current landscape does not yet support that level of interest,” said Rep. Knight, co-founder of the NASA Caucus. “I am proud to stand up this caucus so we can bring timely information to policymakers on these important issues related to exploration, research and development, and strategic investments vital to the future of U.S. air and space competitiveness. I look forward to working with the members of this caucus to ensure this institution has the tools it needs to build on the many contributions it has made to American achievement.”
“NASA has been a part of my life since I was a child,” Knight continued. “Last week we celebrated the 50th anniversary of my father’s record supersonic flight and this week we celebrate not only the first NASA launch, but the 70th anniversary of Chuck Yeager’s first flight to break the sound barrier. Programs at the NACA and NASA have always been able to inspire a nation to go above and beyond what is currently known and take leaps to discovery in science. I hope this caucus can stimulate that spark of hope and imagination and get us to inquire more about what NASA can offer to nation.”
“NASA’s storied history has led America to discovery and innovation unparalleled in history. Its future possibilities are endless,” said co-founder of NASA Caucus, Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. “As the hardworking researchers and scientists at Glenn Research Center know, for pennies on the dollar, NASA programs have fueled jobs, created new industries and inspired entire generations of Americans. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the bipartisan NASA Caucus to honor this scientific juggernaut’s contributions to American life and to assure its continued contributions to a future further enlightened by scientific advancement.”
Crist is joined by the following 25 colleagues as founding members of the caucus: U.S. Reps. Brian Babin (R-TX), Mo Brooks (R-AL), André Carson (D-IN), Kathy Castor (D-FL), Jim Costa (D-CA), Barbara Comstock (R-VA), Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL), Bill Johnson (R-OH), David Joyce (R-OH), Ro Khanna (D-CA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Pete Olson (R-TX), Steven Palazzo (R-MS), Ed Perlmutter (D-CO), Bill Posey (R-FL), Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), Linda T. Sánchez (D-CA), Scott Taylor (R-VA), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), and Randy Weber (R-TX).
An official launch event to celebrate the establishment of the caucus will take place in December.

It would have to be the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia.
I have a list of places/countries that I want to visit and Turkey was actually not even on my list. Then one day, I saw a picture of the hot air balloons in Cappadocia and ever since I saw that picture, I added the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia to my bucket list and started planning a trip to Turkey.
Booking the hot air balloon tour:
There are many balloon companies that operate the hot air balloon tours in Cappadocia.
I booked my hot air balloon tour in advance through a travel agency. The travel agency I booked with was affiliated with a local hot air balloon tour company called Urgup Balloons. You can also book directly with Urgup Balloons here.
My experience with them was great overall and would recommend this company.
Your hotel will also be able to book hot air balloon tours for you, so you could reach out to your hotel to book the tour as well. I recommend booking ahead of time as the tours can get filled up during the peak seasons. I would also avoid booking hot air balloon tours that are below average price for the tour as there have been a few hot air balloon accidents in Cappadocia and the less known/less reputable tour companies could be less safe.
Standard vs. Deluxe flight:
- Duration: standard flight is 60 minutes vs. deluxe flight is 90 minutes.
- # of people on the hot air balloon ride: standard flight takes up to 26 people vs. deluxe flight takes upto 16 people
- Cost: standard flight is 105 euros vs. deluxe flight is 135 euros (price may vary depending on the tour company)
What happens on the hot air balloon tour:
- The hot air balloon tours include: pick-up from your hotel, breakfast/light refreshments, 60 or 90 minute hot air balloon ride (depending on which type of flight you book), champagne celebration after the flight, and drop-off at your hotel
- The hot air ballon tour takes place during sunrise. This means.. waking up early! The hotel pick-ups are usually between 4 – 4:30am.
- After the tour company picks you up from the hotel, they will take you to the tour company’s flight centre where they serve you with breakfast/light refreshments. This is where they gather everyone from different hotels. So when you arrive at the flight centre, they will ask you to check-in with them and they will give you a sticker, which will indicate which balloon you will be on.
- You should use the washroom here before you leave since you won’t be able to go to the washroom for the next few hours :p
- Once everyone has checked-in, you will get into a shuttle/van with people with the same colour sticker to go to the base where the hot air balloon takes off.
- And are UP on the hot air balloon ride! The ride lasts 60 or 90 minutes (depending on whether you are on the standard or the deluxe ride). People often ask me whether it was scary – it was actually not scary at all, because the hot air balloon rises up and goes back down very slowly. Also, because the scene of the Cappadocia valley and the hot air balloons is so beautiful that you won’t even have time to think about whether it is scary or not.
- After the ride, there is a champagne celebration where they serve you with a glass of champagne :)
- They also provide you with a flight certificate saying you’ve completed the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia
- After the tour, the tour company will drop you off back at your hotel (it will be around 7am by the time you are back at your hotel).
- Try to visit Cappadocia during the summer time – The hot air balloon ride is very weather dependent. Your flight will be cancelled if it rains, snows, or if it is too windy. So in the rainy season or during the winter, there is a higher chance that your flight might be cancelled. It does rain during the summer time in Cappadocia too, but the chances of rain are lower.
- Choose the deluxe flight over the standard flight – The deluxe flight is more expensive (it’s 30 euros more). However, for the ultimate hot air balloon experience, I recommend going with the deluxe flight (especially if you want to take good photos during the flight) as the standard flight with 26 people will be very cramped.
- Wear layers/dress warm – I went to Cappadocia at the end of June. Although it was during the summer time (with the weather going up to 25+ degrees celsius during the day), because the hot air balloon ride starts early in the morning and the hot air balloon goes up to high altitudes, it gets a bit chilly during the ride.
Photos from my hot air balloon ride experience in Cappadocia:
Breakfast/refreshments before leaving for the flight
Will the balloons fly? (Since the hot air balloon ride is very weather dependent, the green/yellow/red flag status gets updated every 20 minutes and the hot air balloon ride could be cancelled if the flag is red that day.)
Hot air balloons getting ready to take off
Hot air balloon being pushed to lift off
And we are up, up, and away!
The hot air balloon ride felt like a dream… such an unreal experience!
My favourite photos from the hot air balloon ride (need to insert emoji with heart eyes here)
Seeing the sunrise from the hot air balloon with best friend made the experience extra special :)
Ever since the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, this has been the lock screen wallpaper on my iphone
Can you tell how excited we were during the hot air balloon ride?
Sunrise from the hot air balloon
View of the valley from the top (the hot air balloon goes up to 900m)
Champagne toast after the hot air balloon flight
Can you tell I took enough photos during the hot air balloon ride?! (This is actually maybe 1/3 of all the photos my friend and I took during the 90 minute ride)
It was such an unreal experience (I was experiencing the picture that inspired me to go to Turkey), so I wanted to capture every moment of it!
I hope you enjoyed these photos :) | aerospace |

US entrepreneur and business magnate Elon Musk gesticulates during a visit to the Tesla Gigafactory, which is under construction, on August 13, 2021 in Grünheide near Berlin.
Elon Musk should be prevented from making “rules in space”
The new director general of the European space agency Josef Aschbacher also called on the European heads of state and government to prevent the billionaire who founded and owns Tesla and SpaceX from supporting his space project, according to the ArsTechnica report.
ESA’s new head also said the help received from continent leaders in facilitating Musk’s space endeavors continues to propel him to rapidly dominate the burgeoning space economy.
In addition, Aschbacher warned that the billionaire owner of SpaceX, if he is not stopped, will continue to make “the rules” in the new space economy.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX and NASA
The latest announcements from the ESA chief come shortly after NASA or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that they are commissioning SpaceX, Musk’s space research company, with three new commercial flight missions to the International Space Station or the ISS.

SpaceX founder Elon Musk (L) speaks with astronaut Doug Hurley during a press conference at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California on October 10, 2019, about the new developments of the reusable spaceship Crew Dragon.
It’s worth noting that these new missions that NASA has awarded SpaceX will be particularly critical to the United States’ space presence in the years to come.
SpaceX and Europe
In Europe, SpaceX is already expanding its Starlink satellite expansion in the region, according to CityAM news.
Earlier, Musk himself said his private space exploration company is poised to spend a whopping $ 30 billion just to expand Starlink’s service around the world.
In fact, Germany has already applied to the International Telecommunication Union to expand Starlink in the continent’s leading economy.
More precisely, the Western European nation has already asked Starlink to launch 40,000 satellites.
In addition to Germany’s request, the country is also supporting the private space company Musk with grants for the massive expansion project.
The subsidized expansion of Starlink in Germany is intended to provide rural areas in the European country with a low-latency broadband connection.
On the other side of the world, Musk’s company has already received US approval to launch over 30,000 satellites for Starlink.

ESA head warns
As such, ESA’s new director warned that as Musk’s project continues to expand, Musk will dominate the emerging market.
Aschbacher put it exactly like this: “You have a person who owns half of the active satellites in the world. That is amazing. In fact, he makes the rules.”
The ESA boss went on to say, however, that “the rest of the world”, including Europe, “is simply not reacting quickly enough”.

NASA has come up with its latest amazing project which is titled as Space Poop Challenge. The aeronautic agency is looking out for some help to find the best way of pooping in a space suit. It is the latest NASA Tournament Lab program that has called participants their novel ideas and solutions.
NASA Poop Challenge Details
According to the challenge, participants have to create an in-suit waste management system for a continuous duration of 144 hours. It includes fecal, urine and menstrual waste of the crew.
The NASA competition brief stated that the spacesuits have a generally designed for launch and in-space activities. It is worn for normally duration of 10 hours but can be worn up to 6 days in adverse conditions, as per Herox.
The standby option in such case is a diaper which is not really healthy. Indeed, it serves as a temporary remedy which requires permanent solution, as it works fine only for few hours.
The notable agency is looking forward to design a system within the space suit, which can collect human waste for 144 hours. Furthermore, they are trying to develop a way which can route it out from body also.
In space, nothing is sure and the astronauts may be left with no choice but to stay in their space suits for a long time. Apparently, it will help to get any new ideas which can be explored scientifically at the NASA laboratory later.
The idea is to keep astronauts healthy in the same suit for almost 144 hours or almost 6 days at a stretch. It clearly needs to have a scientific way which should go right with micro-gravity principle in space.
Winners will receive a prize money of $30,000. Interested participants can share their ideas on Herox.

The course has taught me about check-in procedures, security,
communications, emergency situations, in-flight service,
announcements and how to embark and disembark an aircraft.
A part of the course that I really enjoyed was the trip to the
British Airways training centre in London where we learnt various
safety procedures and were shown how to use fire extinguishers,
escape shoots and smoke rooms.
The tutors are fantastic; they have years of experience and are
always there to support you.
As a result of the course I'm more confident and mature. My
ultimate aim is to become an airline pilot and I believe the course
has given me the confidence to get there. | aerospace |

“Mr. Speaker, there was an incredible event that took place in Beautiful Langley on International Woman’s Day. It was called The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too.
“For two days, over 1,200 girls had the amazing opportunity to learn about jobs in the aviation industry. They also took their very first flight. With over 5,000 people in attendance, The Sky’s No Limit-Girls fly too was the biggest female aviation event in North America.
“This event was for girls to dream – and dream big – about the unlimited opportunities available to them in Canada. Some of those girls will be pilots, aviation mechanics, flight controllers, engineers and, like Jessica, a flight instructor. Maybe, like Commander Chris Hadfield, one of those girls will be the captain at the International Space Station.
“Please join me in thanking event coordinator Kirsten Brazier, Langley Airport Managers George and Guy Miller, the incredible pilots and the generous volunteers who worked so hard for days to make this dream come true for those Canadian girls.”

PRE-LAUNCH : As guests enter Space Mountain, they see windows that appear to look out into the universe, providing a sensation of walking through space and the anticipation of a spine-tingling adventure — a dark ride through space.
BLASTOFF : Guests board six-passenger trains that rocket through tunnels of flickering neon lights, then begin a rapid descent along an intricate and dark track. The spatial-effects lighting, sprinkling the inner-heavens with galaxies of stars, darting meteors and glowing space vehicles, sets the stage for an adventure as close to a cosmic voyage as most people will ever experience.
HISTORY : Space Mountain originated in the early 1960s when Walt Disney conceived the idea of a high-speed thrill attraction based on the excitement of the Space Age.
BY THE NUMBERS : Space Mountain’s cone-shaped structure contains 4,508,500 cubic feet — capable of holding a small skyscraper in its interior. The building has a base diameter of 300 feet and took two years to build. In basic structure, the mountain is composed of great ribbed slopes — 72 massive pre-stressed concrete beams forming a gigantic sealed cone. Each of the 74-ton concrete beams was cast near the Space Mountain site and then hoisted into place by mammoth cranes to complete the cone. Each beam is 117 feet long and is 13 feet wide at the bottom and 4 feet wide at the top. Many guests are amazed that the maximum speed is 28 mph, because the attraction delivers high-speed thrills.
GUEST TIPS: Space Mountain features Disney’s FastPass+ and guests must by at least 44 inches tall to experience Space Mountain. | aerospace |

A spacecraft has tasted oxygen in the atmosphere of another world for the first time, while flying low over Saturn’s icy moon, Rhea.
Nasa’s Cassini probe scooped oxygen from the thin atmosphere of the planet’s moon while passing overhead at an altitude of 97km in March this year. Until now, wisps of oxygen have only been detected on planets and their moons indirectly, using the Hubble space telescope and other major facilities.
Instruments aboard Cassini revealed an extremely thin oxygen and carbon dioxide atmosphere that is sustained by high-energy particles slamming into the moon’s surface and kicking up atoms, molecules and ions.
Astronomers have counted 62 moons orbiting Saturn. At 1,500km wide, Rhea is the second largest and is thought to be made almost entirely of ice.
“This really is the first time that we’ve seen oxygen directly in the atmosphere of another world,” said Andrew Coates, at University College London’s Mullard space science laboratory, a co-author of the study, published in the journal Science.
“Such chemistry could be a prerequisite for life. All evidence from Cassini indicates that Rhea is too cold and devoid of the liquid water necessary for life as we know it,” said team leader Ben Teolis, of Southwest Research Institute, Texas.

The 9/11 Time Discrepancy Oddity: Distress Signals Indicated Planes Crashed Minutes BEFORE Flights 11 and 175 Hit the WTC
Radio transmitters that are carried aboard aircraft and that are supposed to activate only in the event of the aircraft crashing went off in the New York area several minutes before the two planes hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. In events that, according to the official account of 9/11, should have been impossible, emergency locator transmitters (ELTs), which are intended to help locate crashed aircraft by broadcasting a distinctive signal, were activated over two minutes before American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north WTC tower and over four minutes before United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower. And yet no ELTs went off at the times these planes hit the towers, when we might have expected them to have been activated.
EMERGENCY TRANSMITTER WENT OFF OVER TWO MINUTES BEFORE FLIGHT 11 CRASHED
American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. and 40 seconds. But two and a half minutes earlier, David Bottiglia, an air traffic controller at the FAA's New York Center, had received an important message from one of the planes in the airspace he was monitoring. At 8:44 a.m., the pilot of U.S. Airways Flight 583 told Bottiglia: "I just picked up an ELT on 121.5. It was brief, but it went off." (121.5 megahertz is an emergency frequency that ELTs are designed to transmit their distress signals on.) A minute later--about 90 second before Flight 11 hit the WTC--another plane in the New York Center's airspace reported the same thing. The pilot of Delta Airlines Flight 2433 told Bottiglia: "We picked up that ELT, too. But it's very faint." According to author Lynn Spencer, "several" facilities picked up the ELT signal around this time.
Peter McCloskey, a traffic management coordinator at the New York Center, later recalled that the ELT had gone off "in the vicinity of Lower Manhattan." And, around the time Flight 11 hit the WTC, a participant in an FAA teleconference stated, "We got a report of an ELT in the area that [the radar track for Flight 11] was in." (Before it disappeared from radar screens, the track for Flight 11 had indicated the plane was about 20 miles from New York's JFK International Airport.)
However, while an ELT went off minutes before Flight 11 hit the WTC, it appears that no ELT went off at the time of the crash itself.
EMERGENCY TRANSMITTER WENT OFF OVER FOUR MINUTES BEFORE FLIGHT 175 CRASHED
United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m. and 11 seconds. But, as with the first crash, an ELT was activated in the New York area several minutes before this plane hit the tower.
At just before 8:59 a.m., over four minutes before the Flight 175 crash, the pilot of Flight 583, who had reported the ELT signal before the North Tower was struck, told David Bottiglia at the New York Center that he had noticed another ELT going off. The pilot said, "I hate to keep burdening you with this stuff, but now we're picking up another ELT on 21.5."
As with the previous crash, although an ELT went off minutes before Flight 175 hit the South Tower, it seems that no ELT went off at the time of the crash itself.
ELT SHOULD ONLY GO OFF IN EVENT OF A CRASH
An emergency locator transmitter is a battery-operated radio transmitter carried by aircraft, which can emit a distinctive signal on the emergency frequencies of 121.5 and 243.0 megahertz. When "armed," an ELT is designed to automatically activate in the event of a crash and then continually emit the emergency signal, thereby helping rescuers to locate the crashed aircraft. ELTs are required to be installed in almost all U.S.-registered civil aircraft.
Paul Thumser, an operations supervisor at the FAA's New York Center on 9/11, has over 20 years' experience as an air traffic controller and is also an experienced airline pilot. He provided the 9/11 Commission with detailed information about ELTs. Thumser said the ELT in a Boeing 767--the type of plane that hit both of the WTC towers--cannot be activated by a pilot. Therefore, with a 767, "impact would be the only way to trigger one." Furthermore, the sensitivity setting of the ELT in a 767 "is not low," and so it should be impossible for one to be set off by the plane making a hard turn or a hard landing. Thumser therefore judged that "it would have to be a serious impact to set the ELT off." Terry Biggio, the operations manager at the FAA's Boston Center, similarly told the 9/11 Commission: "An ELT is not a signal sent by pilot operators. It is clearly indicative of a crash."
This means that an ELT should not have been activated over two minutes before Flight 11 hit the North Tower, nor should one have been activated over four minutes before Flight 175 hit the South Tower. If such transmitters on Flights 11 and 175 had been set off, this should have happened when these planes struck the WTC, and yet that did not happen. It was perhaps for this reason that Mike McCormick, the air traffic control manager at the FAA's New York Center, told the 9/11 Commission that his "best hypothesis" was that the ELT signal transmitted "moments before the impact of AA 11" was "unrelated to the event" of the crash.
McCormick also told the 9/11 Commission that ELT signals sometimes "happened accidentally," and that "the vast majority are false alarms." However, this could not have been the case with the signals before the WTC crashes. None of the air traffic controllers who were involved with monitoring Flights 11 and 175 have reported any planes' ELTs going off by accident around that time. And for one plane in the New York area to have its ELT set off accidentally just before Flight 11 hit the WTC, and then the ELT on another plane in that area going off accidentally just before Flight 175 hit the WTC, would have been too big a coincidence to be plausible.
The strange evidence of emergency locator transmitter signals being broadcast in the New York area before the World Trade Center towers were hit raises serious questions about the official account of the 9/11 attacks. According to that account, if ELTs had been activated, this should have been at the times the planes hit the towers, not several minutes beforehand. The evidence appears inexplicable, and so proper investigation is imperative to make sense of it. But while a number of air traffic controllers mentioned the ELT signals in their interviews with the 9/11 Commission, the 9/11 Commission Report offered no explanation for this anomalous evidence.
Many questions remain unanswered. For example, were the sources of the ELT signals ever determined? If so, did the signals indeed come from the planes that hit the WTC, or were they from somewhere else? And were the transmitters themselves ever found? After all, according to the FAA, "In most installations the [ELT] is attached to the aircraft structure as far aft as practicable in the fuselage; or in the tail surface, in such a manner that damage to the beacon will be minimized in the event of a crash impact." So the transmitters should have survived the crashes, if they were in the planes that hit the Twin Towers. If the ELTs were found, then, were they indeed in the rubble of the World Trade Center? Or were they somewhere else?
Paul Thumser told the 9/11 Commission that "credible" ELT signals (i.e. those not determined to be false alarms) had to be reported to the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC), which, at the time of the 9/11 attacks, was located at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. So did the AFRCC locate the sources of the ELT signals or determine anything else about them? The only relevant information provided by the 9/11 Commission appears in one of its memorandums, which stated, "We visited the RCC and they receive all ELTs; so many, in fact, that they are a nuisance, and they have special procedures and software to manage that."
We clearly need to know a lot more, since a proper investigation of these emergency signals could help determine what exactly happened on September 11, and point investigators toward those really responsible for perpetrating the terrorist attacks.

- Type: Convention
- Date of signature: 27/01/1967
- Place of signature: London, United Kingdom
- Depositary: Government of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Russian Federation
- Date of entry into force: 10/10/1967
What is it about?
From the beginning of the space age, deliberate efforts to create a coherent body of law for outer space and space activities were undertaken at the United Nations. The General Assembly adopted three UN Resolutions stating general rules on the law of outer space: - Resolution 1962 on the declaration of legal principles governing the activities of States in the exploration and use of outer space (13 December 1963); - Resolution 1884 calling upon States from placing in orbit around the earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kind of weapons of mass destruction or from installing such weapons on celestial bodies (17 October 1963); - Resolution 110 condemning propaganda designed or likely to provoke or encourage any threat to the peace, breach of the peace or act of aggression (3 November 1947). The conclusion of multilateral treaties has become the principal means of enacting pertinent legal rules. Considering the fundamental statements of the Resolutions and desiring to contribute to the development of mutual understanding and to the strengthening of friendly relations between States and peoples, the Treaty governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and other Celestial Bodies (Outer Space Treaty) affirms the freedom of exploration and use of outer space and prohibits all claims of sovereignty. It also proscribes the establishment of military bases, installations or fortifications on celestial bodies and the placement in orbit around the earth of objects carrying weapons of mass destruction. It constitutes a legal hindrance to the installation of nuclear explosives in space. Carriage of weapons through space and exploration by artificial satellites remain authorized.
Why is it relevant?
The Outer Space Treaty provides the basis for all subsequent treaties and other legal instruments relating to space activities. The exploration and use of outer space is a global problem affecting the entire international community. Recognizes this fact, the Treaty stresses "the common interest of all mankind" in the exploration and use of outer space for peaceful purposes. This provision provides sufficient legal grounds for claims to full and effective participation by all members of the internationalcommunity in the decision-making process relating to outer space. Consequently real progress in the development of legal norms applicable to the use and exploration of outer space can only be made when as many states as possible, including all states having the capability to engage in outer space activities, are actively in agreement.
The present instrument does not contain provisions to ensure its enforcement, but foresees a consultation procedure while a State Party assumes that the activities of another State Party may cause a negative impact on the peaceful exploration and use of space.

Space Companies Are Investing Big in 5G Technology
Entities ranging from SpaceX to Amazon are launching or may launch soon huge numbers of new satellites that can carry the extra bandwidth. And cellular network providers around the world are upgrading their equipment on the ground to meet the expected future demand.
This new technology is being built out for new 5G networks. It's touted as a big leap over current 4G technology, which allows you to do data-intensive things like stream Netflix. Users will experience less latency, he said. Latency refers to the time it takes to send a packet of data to a receiver like a cellphone on a network.
This will result in a "faster and more responsive" experience, Townsend said in an email. There are already smart fridges, stoves and security systems , for example, and consumers are also using wearable devices that share bandwidth on crowded mobile networks.
Meanwhile, businesses have embedded tracking devices in locations such as shipping containers, oil and gas lines, and power generators, with each device providing real-time information on the status of the thing being tracked.
This information is meant to make it easier for companies to respond if something breaks and to keep better track of shipments crossing the globe with manufactured goods.
Whole industries may change with the rise of connected devices, such as driving with the use of autonomous vehicles or factories with production lines that may be able to monitor themselves. And deployment will continue for all carriers through the rest of and into , he said. In many cases, however, you won't be able to access the network with your older device.
Once the infrastructure equipment is upgraded, consumers will need to buy new cellphones. Check your preferred brand carefully. But there is big potential for carriers, who "are spending billions globally to upgrade the networks because they see the potential in monetizing new services," he added.
On the business side, one of the big arguments for moving to 5G is the ability to participate in "Industry 4. This term commonly refers to factories embedded with wireless connectivity in their machines and equipment.
Using emerging artificial intelligence, the goal is for the factory to monitor its own production line and to make changes as needed for safety, efficiency or other needs. Some analysts worry that AI could replace jobs and make unemployment rise, while others are optimistic, saying new job opportunities will arise with the new technology. Many space entities are rushing to be trendsetters in 5G.
For example, SpaceX has received approval to launch nearly 12, Starlink internet satellites and recently applied to loft up to 30, more. In May, SpaceX launched its first 60 Starlink craft , which operate at a low-Earth-orbit altitude of about miles kilometers. For comparison, the International Space Station orbits about miles, or km, above Earth. OneWeb has satellite-internet plans as well. The company plans to assemble a constellation of nearly satellites to make web access easier around the world.
OneWeb launched the first group of six satellites in February aboard a Soyuz rocket provided by European launch company Arianespace. These satellites circle Earth in near-polar orbits, at an altitude of roughly miles 1, km. Amazon and Facebook are among the other companies planning 5G satellite networks.
The proliferation of 5G satellites in orbit raises a number of questions from industry observers. A big one is the rising risk of collisions, which could, theoretically, spawn huge populations of orbital debris.
The world got an inkling of this risk last month, when a European satellite made a precautionary maneuver to dodge a potential collision with one of the SpaceX Starlink satellites. There also are worries about radio-frequency interference with all of these coming satellites. Operators of weather satellites, in particular, are concerned about some of the authorized 5G frequencies approaching the At this bandwidth, "water vapor in the atmosphere gives off a feeble signal," and the satellites can examine humidity in the atmosphere, even if the region is cloudy, Popular Mechanics reported.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are negotiating with the Federal Communications Commission which allocates spectrum frequencies to U. There's also concern that the abundance of satellites will interfere with sky observations. In June, the International Astronomical Union IAU expressed concern that thousands of satellites could interfere with the ability to examine dim and distant objects, not to mention the lives of nocturnal animals.
As the 5G providers work out these kinks, there may be unpredictable effects of the new mobile technology, Townsend said. Townsend called this a positive development, as it "disrupted a multibillion [dollar] taxi cab industry [and] created new income opportunity" for individuals.

Power Projection: China’s Fourth Aircraft Carrier
For years, the space military industrial complex, or SMIC—a hugely profitable coalition called the Space Exploration Alliance , made up of a handful of American defense companies including Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing, among other suppliers—has promoted and funded programs that have guaranteed Americans cannot get to space using American vehicles. The SMIC is also making it nearly impossible for Americans to follow up on something they accomplished 50 years ago: Getting Americans to the moon, that centrally resource-rich frontier on which China threatens to outpace us in its claims. In , we saw two deadly Boeing Max crashes take lives. Boeing has long been a central player in the space industry. Its Starliner space transportation capsule, designed to take humans to space, was launched Dec. Due to a software malfunction, the spacecraft had to make an emergency landing in White Sands, New Mexico, without delivering its cargo of Christmas presents to ISS astronauts. Software glitches were also reportedly behind the two tragic Max crashes.
The best way to make a profit as an aerospace company is to fail
Our mission is to help leaders in multiple sectors develop a deeper understanding of the global economy. Our flagship business publication has been defining and informing the senior-management agenda since The container-shipping industry has been highly unprofitable over the past five years. Making things worse, earnings have been exceptionally volatile.
In our previous article we described design of different types of tankers. Ships that are designed to carry liquefied gas have become more significant and increased in number in the recent years, with the increasing need for alternative fuel. To understand the design characteristics of these two types of ships, we first need to know a few notable details about the composition and properties of LPG and LNG. Petroleum hydrocarbon products such as Propane and Butane, and mixtures of both have been categorised by the oil industry as LPG.

Manufacturing of the International Space Station
The U. The commercial and general aviation aircraft segment is composed of private companies that design, manufacture and service commercial aircraft, business jets, helicopters, personal aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and their subsystems and components, such as engines, flight controls, avionics, parts, and raw materials. Directly related to the design and production of civil aircraft, the military aircraft segment is defined by the manufacture of combat and non-combat aircraft and related systems including transports, fighter aircraft, patrol aircraft, bombers, helicopters, unmanned aerial systems, and other platforms. This sector also includes the design and manufacture of specialized avionics, radars, engines, guidance-and-control systems, reconnaissance and surveillance systems, and navigation systems. Presently, the domestic space industry is defined by the design, manufacture and operation of space launch vehicles, satellites, spacecraft and ground systems for both the commercial and government end-use markets. This segment includes the manufacture of tanks, tactical vehicles, transports and related platforms and systems such as communications, computers and electronics.
Hundreds of contractors working for the five space agencies were assigned the task of fabricating the modules, trusses, experiments and other hardware elements for the station. The fact that the project involved the co-operation of fifteen countries working together created engineering challenges that had to be overcome: most notably the differences in language, culture and politics, but also engineering processes, management, measuring standards and communication; to ensure that all elements connect together and function according to plan. The ISS agreement program also called for the station components to be made highly durable and versatile — as it is intended to be used by astronauts indefinitely. A series of new engineering and manufacturing processes and equipment were developed, and shipments of steel, aluminum and other materials were needed for the construction of the space station components. The project began as Space Station Freedom , a US only effort, but was long delayed by funding and technical problems.

"We recognize that many customers are being inconvenienced and our focus right now is on getting them to their destination safely, and as quickly as we can," said Duncan Dee, Air Canada’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "We thank our customers for their patience and loyalty as we work doubly hard to restore their confidence in Air Canada. We would also like to thank those employees who worked tirelessly throughout the night to minimize impact on our customers."
Air Canada is the country's largest domestic and international full-service airline providing scheduled and charter air transportation for passengers and cargo to more than 180 destinations on five continents.
Customers are requested to check the status of their flight at aircanada.com before leaving for the airport.
On Sunday, a fire at Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Toronto caused major flight delays and cancellations in the morning for Air Canada and other air traffic. The fire disabled the lights on runway 05/23 and reduced the airport's operating capacity, airport officials said.

There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.”
What is meant by Pale Blue Dot?
The Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of Earth taken Feb. 14, 1990, by NASA’s Voyager 1 at a distance of 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun. The image inspired the title of scientist Carl Sagan’s book, “Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space,” in which he wrote: “Look again at that dot.
Who said Pale Blue Dot?
On February 14, 1990, the Voyager 1 spacecraft saw Earth from a distance of nearly four billion miles, capturing a view of our planet later described by scientist Carl Sagan as a “Pale Blue Dot.”
When did Carl Sagan wrote Pale Blue Dot?
Pale Blue Dot (book)
|Cover of the first edition|
|Media type||Print (Hardcover and Paperback)|
Who did Carl Sagan work with?
Further Work With NASA and Fringe Science
In 1968, Sagan became the director of Cornell University’s Laboratory for Planetary Studies, and three years later, he became a full professor.
Is Carl Sagan religious?
Given his novel’s religious sympathy, it is intensely strange that Sagan is sometimes imagined as a kind of proto-New Atheist. Sagan opposed emergent Christian fundamentalism for its growing political muscle and its creationism.
What is the farthest picture of Earth?
The “Pale Blue Dot” picture of Planet Earth was acquired by the Voyager 1 probe exactly 30 years ago on Friday – from a distance of about 6 billion km (4 billion miles) miles. To mark the anniversary, the US space agency has now reprocessed this iconic view using modern techniques and software.
What is the blue planet in our solar system?
Neptune: The Blue Planet.
What is the White on earth?
Water covers most of Earth. The white swirls are clouds. The brown, yellow and green parts are land. And the white parts are ice and snow.
Where is Voyager 2 now?
NASA is upgrading the big radio dish in Australia used to beam commands to Voyager 2. NASA’s Voyager 2 probe will have to fend for itself in interstellar space for the next 11 months or so.
What is the farthest NASA has gone?
Voyager 1 is a space probe that was launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. Real-time distance and velocity data is provided by NASA and JPL. At a distance of 152.2 AU (22.8 billion km; 14.1 billion mi) from Earth as of January 12, 2020, it is the most distant human-made object from Earth.
Is Voyager 2 still transmitting?
NASA said that the successful call to Voyager 2 is just one indication that the dish will be fully back online as planned in February 2021. Both Voyager 2 and Voyager 1 have traveled well beyond their original destinations. The spacecraft were built to last five years and conduct close-up studies of Jupiter and Saturn.
What’s the farthest satellite from Earth?
The most distant human-made object is the spacecraft Voyager 1, which – in late February 2018 – is over 13 billion miles (21 billion km) from Earth. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, were launched 16 days apart in 1977. Both spacecraft flew by Jupiter and Saturn.
Where is Voyager currently?
Launched in 1977, both Voyager probes are now hurtling through interstellar space, making them the most distant man-made objects from Earth. On January 30, at 12.26pm GMT (7.26am EST), NASA tracked Voyager 2 at nearly 11.5 billion miles from Earth.
What was the last picture Voyager 1 took?
The probe took the Pale Blue Dot photo at 0448 GMT on Feb. 14, 1990, just 34 minutes before its cameras were shut off forever. (The very last photos Voyager 1 took, however, were of the sun, Hansen said.) | aerospace |

Do astronauts pay taxes?
Unfortunately for astronauts, the IRS doesn’t consider international airspace, or international waters, or space, abroad.
This means that they will have to pay US taxes on all of their income.
Expats meanwhile, living abroad, can claim one or more IRS exemptions to help reduce their US tax bill, in many cases to zero..
How much does an astronaut suit cost?
The suit was tested in the Theodore Roosevelt National Park badlands of western North Dakota. The suit has a mass of 47 pounds (21 kg) without a life support backpack, and costs only a fraction of the standard US$12,000,000 cost for a flight-rated NASA space suit.
Can u get pregnant in space?
As a result NASA’s official policy forbids pregnancy in space. Female astronauts are tested regularly in the 10 days prior to launch. And sex in space is very much frowned upon.
How often do astronauts change clothes?
As per NASA, astronauts will wear the clothes during their daily two and a half hour exercise regimen for a total of 15 days.
How do astronauts wash and use the bathroom in space?
On the ISS, astronauts do not shower but rather use liquid soap, water, and rinseless shampoo. They squeeze liquid soap and water from pouches onto their skin. Then they use rinseless soap with a little water to clean their hair. … An airflow system nearby quickly evaporates excess water.
How much do astronauts get paid?
Astronauts’ annual salaries are determined using a government pay scale, and starting out, typically fall under two grades: GS-12 and GS-13. According the US government’s 2020 pay scales and a NASA job listing, a civilian astronaut in 2020 can earn between $66,167 and $161,141 per year.
Does it smell bad on the ISS?
THE STENCH OF SPACE NASA astronaut Scott Kelly has revealed the ISS smells like jail, citing the similarities in their ‘combinations of antiseptic, garbage, and body odor. ‘ While touring Harris County Jail in Texas, Kelly said he got a whiff in one room that transported him right back to his days on the ISS.
Why are astronauts paid so little?
Their pay tends to be even less. The original astronauts were in the military and were paid just their military salary. A lot of it has to do with supply and demand. There are thousands of applications per year for just a few openings.
Do astronauts poop in their space suits?
Eliminating Waste Each spacewalking astronaut wears a large, absorbent diaper called a Maximum Absorption Garment (MAG) to collect urine and feces while in the space suit. The astronaut disposes the MAG when the spacewalk is over and he/she gets dressed in regular work clothes.
Do astronauts wear deodorant?
Well, it’s not like people really smell that bad. We use deodorant, we wipe, rinse off, shower. But there’s a little body odor going on for sure. Mostly it’s just exercise clothes people wear for a couple weeks without washing.
Do Astronauts pack clothes?
Here’s What Astronauts Pack When They Go To Space There is no washing machine in space. … Most of the clothing brought to the space station doesn’t come back home. Dirty clothes are placed in a bag and most of it is put on a resupply vehicle that makes a one-way trip to the space station several times a year.
Do astronauts drink pee?
Astronauts have been drinking distilled urine since 2009, and they currently recapture 93 percent of wastewater, but the system they’re using now is heavy, slow and has been prone to breaking down. It spins the urine at high speed to separate out the water vapor, then treats it chemically.
How do astronauts poop?
Today, astronauts at the International Space Station poop into a little plate-sized toilet hole, and a fan vacuum-sucks their excrement away. A separate funnel equipped with a fan suctions their pee away.
Do astronauts wash dishes?
Some previous space stations were equipped with showers, but these are not fitted in the Shuttle or the ISS. Instead, astronauts use a damp, soapy cloth for washing. There is no washing of dirty dishes either. Used food containers are crushed and thrown away.
Can you drink urine through a LifeStraw?
LifeStraw filters do not remove dissolved salts and are not designed to be used to drink non-diluted urine. Because of this, we do not recommend drinking urine with the LifeStraw in even low amounts. | aerospace |
