First, the aircraft has a difficult time distinguishing friendly forces from hostile ones, and second, it can’t verify the GPS ground coordinates.
Tests indicate that 80 percent of the F-35’s information system alerts constitute false positives. The first F-35s ready to deploy in July, according to the Marine Corps, cannot use night vision technology.
So this MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR AIRCRAFT cannot do the things that an aircraft built in 1975 can?
Nope, nope, nope. This is such an epic failure that people need to be jailed. | aerospace |
https://www.downtownbrokers.com/private-jet-charter-rates-435/ | 2023-10-01T14:24:36 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233510903.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20231001141548-20231001171548-00812.warc.gz | 0.922584 | 970 | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-40__0__210923767 | en | Private jet charter is a luxurious and convenient way to travel, but many people assume that it is out of their price range. However, with the right strategy and resources, it is possible to find affordable private jet charter rates that fit within your budget.
Tip #1: Use a Jet Charter Brokerage
One of the best ways to find the best private jet charter rates is to use a charter broker directory like Flight List Pro. These directories provide access to a comprehensive database of private jet charter operators worldwide, making it easy to compare rates and find the best deal for your trip.
With Flight List Pro’s professional charter platform, you can quickly and easily search for private jet charter services based on your specific needs and preferences. With access to floating fleets of all aircraft types and sizes, Flight List Pro can help you find the best private jet charter rates for your trip.
Tip #2: Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates
Private jet charter rates can vary significantly depending on the time of year you travel. To get the best rates, try to be as flexible as possible with your travel dates. Consider traveling during the off-peak season, or on weekdays instead of weekends, when rates are typically lower.
Tip #3: Book in Advance
Booking your private jet charter flight in advance can help you save money on your rates. Many charter operators offer discounts for early bookings, so it pays to plan ahead.
Tip #4: Consider One-Way Flights
One-way private jet charter flights can be a cost-effective option, especially if you’re traveling to a destination that is popular with private jet travelers. Many charter operators offer discounted rates for one-way flights, as they can use the return leg of the journey to pick up other passengers.
Tip #5: Choose the Right Aircraft Type
The type of aircraft you choose can have a big impact on your private jet charter rates. Larger aircraft, such as heavy jets or VIP airliners, are typically more expensive than smaller aircraft like light jets or turboprops. However, larger aircraft may be more cost-effective if you’re traveling with a larger group, as they can accommodate more passengers.
Tip #6: Consider Empty Leg Flights
Empty leg flights are private jet charter flights that are returning to their home base after dropping off passengers. These flights can be significantly cheaper than regular private jet charters, as the operator is looking to offset the cost of the return journey. While empty leg flights are not always available, they can be a great way to save money on your private jet charter rates.
Tip #7: Negotiate
Don’t be afraid to negotiate with your charter operator to get the best private jet charter rates. Many operators are willing to negotiate on price, especially if you’re a repeat customer or booking a large number of flights.
Tip #8: Watch Out for Hidden Fees
When comparing private jet charter rates, be sure to factor in any additional fees, such as landing fees, fuel surcharges, and in-flight catering. These fees can add up quickly and significantly impact the overall cost of your private jet charter.
Tip #9: Join a Jet Card Program
Jet card programs allow you to pre-purchase hours of private jet charter time at a fixed rate. This can be a cost-effective option if you frequently travel by private jet, as it can help you lock in lower rates and avoid the hassle of booking individual flights.
Tip #10: Consider Shared Charter
Shared charter, also known as crowd charter, allows you to share the cost of a private jet charter with other travelers. This can be a great way to reduce the overall cost of your private jet charter, especially if you’re traveling alone or with a small group. Many charter operators offer shared charter options, and with Flight List Pro’s air charter broker directory, you can easily search for shared charter options that meet your needs.
Use Flight List Pro’s Jet Charter Service to Save Money
Private jet charter can be more affordable than you think if you use the right strategies and resources. By following these ten tips, including using a charter broker directory like Flight List Pro, being flexible with your travel dates, booking in advance, considering one-way flights, choosing the right aircraft type, considering empty leg flights, negotiating, watching out for hidden fees, joining a jet card program, and considering shared charter, you can find the best private jet charter rates that fit within your budget.

Comment below and tell us what you think! That’s where the real innovation happened, because that’s when space ice cream was invented. That fits with the technical obstacles to space ice cream — as Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield explained (along with Buzz Aldrin and many other astronauts), crumbly food like astronaut ice cream would be a major hazard in space. What does it taste like? The CRS-1 flight is launching with more than 800 pounds (360 kilograms) of supplies, experiments and equipment to support the space station's crew, and will return to Earth with nearly 1,700 pounds (770 kg) of science results and spent hardware. That matches with the complete absence of ice cream from mission transcripts as well. As the above video shows, debunking astronaut ice cream doesn't have to kill the fun of eating space food. When you’re in a zero-gravity space orbit, having something that breaks into small crumbs can wreak havoc for the safety of the vehicle and for the crew. If kids want to eat astronaut ice cream, they should just enjoy delicious, real ice cream, as real astronauts have many times since the 1970s, when refrigerators became available in space. Good luck if you try it. And if you’re interested in supporting our video journalism, you can become a member of the Vox Video Lab on YouTube.

"I think it’s very likely it never flew," she wrote me. To freeze-dry the ice cream, the water is taken out and the air pressure is lowered, creating a vacuum, then the ice cream is heated and cooled until you have your final product. As you can hear above, he said that years later, when he first encountered the freeze-dried dessert, he wished they'd had it on Apollo 7 — but they never did.

You can still buy Astronaut Ice Cream! Any space-enthused kid has endured the crumbly, chalky agglomeration of flavors known as "astronaut ice cream." Why? Weed was the real winner of the 2020 election. The importance of having ice cream on board? Space ice cream, otherwise known as Astronaut Ice Cream, was originally developed by the company Whirlpool after they were commissioned to do so by NASA. Chris Hadfield, my favorite TED Talk astronaut, speaks about the ridiculousness of actually having such a monstrous dessert aboard a space flight. If kids want … As he says “Because we have a TV show…”. Nowadays, astronauts actually can have desserts like ice cream in space, but those desserts are all in liquid form. Support free explanatory journalism. Because astronauts have to break out of our atmosphere to go into space, they have to limit the weight of what they bring up. The ice cream, which is now a not ... Robert Cabana, former shuttle astronaut and the director of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, said. Was this famous war photo staged?

Because astronauts have to break out of our atmosphere to go into … And that's because by 1972, freezers were allowed on board and astronauts were able to eat the real deal… Astronaut Ice Cream is apparently a thing, even though real astronauts never actually ate it. Space ice cream, otherwise known as Astronaut Ice Cream, was originally developed by the company Whirlpool after they were commissioned to do so by NASA. When I asked astronaut Walt Cunningham, the sole surviving member of the crew, about it, he said, "We never had that stuff." NASA, the manufacturers, and other astronauts cannot verify that it ever was on a mission. As the above video shows, this legendary children's treat has a surprisingly murky history. If you haven’t, help us keep our journalism free for everyone by making a financial contribution today, from as little as $3. Congratulations to you, space ice cream, for continuing to be the chalky disappointment we never deserved. That’s right, it most likely never went on any of the Apollo missions.

To get the obvious out of the way: Astronaut ice cream probably isn't made out of real astronauts. While we know now that the faux-ice cream never made it on to a real space mission, it has now at least been up higher than Mount Everest. Astronaut ice cream never made the docket for Apollo 7 or any other early missions. The true story behind Arlo Guthrie’s Thanksgiving staple, “Alice’s Restaurant”. Make a contribution to Vox today. Apollo 7 is identified by many online sources as the only flight to harbor the chalky ice cream. Even if astronaut ice cream were on Apollo 7, it would probably have been rehydratable food similar to most of the other food options on the flight, not the freeze-dried block we recognize today. That's the reason John Young was reprimanded for sneaking a corned beef sandwich on board during the Gemini program — bread crumbs could easily float into instruments. Black Lives Matter helped shape the 2020 election. One astronaut who flew on an Apollo space flight, Walt Cunningham, has come out to say that they certainly never had this ice cream (though, he adds, it would’ve been nice). You get this as a result: It’s crumbly, it’s chalky, and the worst part is that it probably never even went to space. You can find this video and all of Vox’s videos on YouTube. If you’ve ever had one, or even if you just take a glance at the picture above, you can see that Astronaut Ice Cream cracks apart very easily. Well, it’s the exact same importance that I place on having Sea Salt Caramel Gelato from Talenti in my freezer at all times–it’s delicious. Yes, each Astronaut Ice Cream pack contains a rectangle slice of freeze-dried, edible vanilla ice cream and comes in a resealable pack. They do always get to try things in advance, and they probably thought it was as horrible as it actually is when you buy it in the gift shop.". And that kind of work takes resources. There are several reasons why astronauts back in the day didn’t have space ice cream on their space flights, the biggest reason is that it crumbles during consumption. There are other delicious and educational options (I share my favorite toward the end). Joe Biden can have a consequential presidency even with a Republican Senate. Why does Hillbilly Elegy feel so inauthentic and performative? There's also a smattering of technical documents that mention the development of some sort of ice cream in space — but none that can confirm the existence of ice cream on board. On the rebellious joy of a long, long movie dance scene, Holiday shopping as we know it is over — just ask seasonal workers, 11 great ways to pass the time this holiday weekend. Even after the economy recovers, advertising alone will never be enough to support it. While it began with just chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and a neapolitan blend, new flavors and styles have come out since. So is there any argument that astronaut ice cream did fly in space? That’s why NASA made contracts with companies like Whirlpool to help create lighter weight foods that wouldn’t bog down the rocket. | aerospace |

Critic Reviews for Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon is an earnest but insubstantial Imax 3-D spectacle that, even at 40 minutes, seems unduly padded.
The illusion is impressive but incomplete, and therefore mildly disappointing. But I cannot deny having felt a little nervous when 'we' were standing too close to the edge at the Grand Canyon-like Hadley Rille. So clearly I am a liar.
One of the astronauts describes his excitement during the lunar mission as 'like a kid playing in a sandbox.' Unfortunately, that could also sum up the film's visual content.
Adults will be more than passably entertained by this short, patriotic feature, and kids will be entranced.
Audience Reviews for Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D
Caught this on a recent trip to the Kennedy Space Center, so there's nothing like being there to enhance your experience! This IMAX documentary is one of a series of excellent films made about one of humankind's great adventures: The moon missions. It takes you from the origins through a lot of footage from the later missions that you may not have seen, and supplements the real footage with technically excellent simulations and re-enactments. Like its close cousin, From the Earth To The Moon series, its an inspirational and sometimes harrowing tale of the journey to our nearest neighbor. It's calculated to inspire, and it does. The sheer magnitude of what was accomplished is still pretty staggering. If you watch this and are not moved by the experience, then you either never saw any of the space program coverage over the last 40 years, or you just aren't awake. The kids in the film can't name the astronauts that did it, but it still captures their imagination and that nothing is impossible. Great narration, photography, and science fact. Recommended

Michael Fincke graduated from Pennsylvania’s Sewickley Academy in 1985. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on an Air Force ROTC scholarship and graduated in 1989 with a bachelor of science in Aeronautics and Astronautics as well as a bachelor of science in Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. This was followed by a master of science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from Stanford University in 1990. He was awarded an associates of science degree in Earth Sciences (Geology) from El Camino College in Torrance, Calif. in 1993 and then a second master of science in Physical Sciences (Planetary Geology) from the University of Houston - Clear Lake in 2001.
Fincke was born March 14, 1967 in Pittsburgh, PA., but considers Emsworth, PA. to be his hometown. Married to the former Renita Saikia of Houston, Texas. They have three children. In addition to time with his family, Mike enjoys travel, Geology, Astronomy, learning new languages, and reading. He is conversant in Japanese and Russian. His parents, Edward and Alma Fincke reside in Emsworth, Pennsylvania. Renita’s parents, Rupesh and Probha Saikia formerly of Assam, India reside in Houston, Texas.
In addition to two NASA Distinguished Service Medals and two NASA Spaceflight Medals, Colonel Fincke is a recipient of the first ISS Leadership Award as well as a United States Air Force Meritorious Service Medal, three Commendation Medals, two Achievement Medals, and various unit and service awards. He is a Distinguished Graduate from the United States Air Force ROTC, Squadron Officer School, and Test Pilot School Programs and the recipient of the United States Air Force Test Pilot School Colonel Ray Jones Award as the top Flight Test Engineer/Flight Test Navigator in class 93B.
Colonel Fincke graduated from MIT in 1989, and immediately attended a summer exchange program with the Moscow Aviation Institute in the former Soviet Union, where he studied Cosmonautics. Upon graduation from Stanford University in 1990, he entered the United States Air Force where he “washed out” of the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program, and then was reassigned as a Space Systems Engineer and a Space Test Engineer at Los Angeles Air Force Base. As a Flight Test Engineer at Edwards and Eglin Air Force Bases he flew in F-16 and F-15 aircraft. In January of 1996, he reported to the Gifu Test Center, Gifu Air Base, Japan where he was the United States Flight Test Liaison to the Japanese/United States XF-2 fighter program. Colonel Fincke has more than 1,000 flight hours in more than 30 different aircraft types.
Selected by NASA in April 1996, Colonel Fincke reported to the Johnson Space Center where he completed two years of training and evaluation. He was assigned technical duties in the Astronaut Office Station Operations Branch serving as an International Space Station Spacecraft Communicator (ISS CAPCOM), a member of the Crew Test Support Team in Russia and as the ISS crew procedures team lead. He also served as back-up crewmember for ISS Expeditions 4 and 6 as well as back-up commander for ISS Expeditions 13 and 16. He is qualified to fly as a left-seat Flight Engineer (co-pilot) on the Russian Soyuz TM and TMA spacecraft.

is flying from the North to South Pole!
November 1, 2019
Record-breaking pilot Robert DeLaurentis is making an Epic flight and he is taking us with him!
Our logo is on his Citizen of the World plane and you can keep up with his trailblazing journey at:
"The poles are the only places on the planet where peace exists today". Robert says. "All the member countries of the Antarctic Treaty cooperate together because it’s in their best interest. Our flight will join the south and north poles, and in doing that, we are hoping to join everyone in between in our message of global peace."
"As pilots, we have a responsibility beyond flying. We become ambassadors every time we go anywhere in the world. Everyone has had the dream of flying sometime in their lives, so seeing someone out there in the world flying a small airplane is a great way to share the message, which is One Planet, One People, One Plane – the Oneness of Humanity.”
For the pole-to-pole flight, DeLaurentis and his team have christened their Turbine Commander 900 the Citizen of the World. “I am hoping to show all the people in the 20-plus countries along our route that we are all citizens of the world,” he said.
“The airplane is a fantastic billboard for our message. Airplanes don’t know boundaries. They just fly. An airplane is the ultimate demonstration of the oneness of our world.” | aerospace |

Through March 21, the airline says it can scale back its flight operations “gradually in a controlled and structured manner in order to bring passengers and crews home.”
Part of the Lufthansa Group, Brussels Airlines is the flag provider and largest airline of Belgium, flying to over 100 locations in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia. It is a member of the Star Alliance.
Passengers on cancelled flights will robotically be rebooked; they’ll examine the standing of their rebooking at brusselsairlines.com below “My Booking.” The airline is asking passengers whose scheduled flights don’t happen within the subsequent seven days to chorus from contacting the Service Center within the coming days as a consequence of excessive name volumes.
Additionally, Brussels Airlines is providing all passengers an prolonged goodwill association, which permits them till June 1 to determine on a brand new journey date and alter their ticket to a special vacation spot.
On Monday, as reported by our sister publication Travel Agent, Austrian Airlines, one other Lufthansa Group provider, introduced plans to droop flight operations as of Thursday, March 19, with cancellations to final initially till March 28.

For the first time, the session was based on a model of an aviation production cluster that has a number of aviation plants. Together with their instructors – United Aircraft Corporation’s experts – the children went from creating aviation companies to producing aircraft built by the young aviation workers at “plants” at Artek.
The UAC’s educational program allowed Artek children to learn more about the corporation’s work, its product range, and the main stages in an airplane’s service life. Having assembled five “plant” teams, they made a “map of professions,” developed staff schedules, distributed roles, defined areas of responsibility and set up a production processes in order to manufacture high-quality model aircraft capable of flying a given distance, before the deadline.
The winning team with the most points achieved through completing the tasks throughout the session was awarded with certificates, while the five most active “aviation workers” received special certificates allowing them to enroll in any of the 12 major universities involved in the aviation industry on an employer-sponsored basis. These certificates were awarded to Maria Bulakhova from the Moscow region, Nikita Intsertov from Ryazan, Olga Omelyanchuk from Taganrog, Yevgeny Bondarenko from Moscow and Anastasiya Tolkacheva from Voronezh.
UAC’s HR Training Department director, Elena Mitina commended the young peoples’ work and noted that “the environment at Artek allows for exploring the creative potential in gifted or simply interested children from all over the country. Artek’s educational session is an important part of our vocational program, which was created to identify talented children and guide them toward the industry’s universities.”
Artek director Alexei Kasprjak noted that working with thematic partners, including the leaders of high-tech sectors of the economy, creates opportunities for children to learn more about various professions, and contributes to the long-term planning of the regional labor market, while drawing the future experts’ to the regions’ priority disciplines.
“Thanks to programs like Course for Takeoff, the professional core of the future is being formed at Artek today,” he said.
The United Aircraft Corporation began cooperating with ICC Artek last year. The corporation sponsors the constant operation of the camp’s aircraft modeling laboratory. Twice a year, the United Aircraft Corporation carries out a program four youth from all over the country who have won various national competitions and UAC’s themed olympiades. The corporation became the first Artek partner to award the students who showed best results during the session with certificates for training at major universities in the industry. | aerospace |

Carry on looking at under
Our Showcased Video clips
Rolls-Royce and Widerøe initially entered a joint study software in 2019, which was aimed at building a practical electrical aircraft to satisfy Norway’s ambition of owning only zero-emission domestic flights by 2040. Thanks to its topography, Norway largely depends on airways for connection, as is the circumstance with most Scandinavian international locations.

“Norway’s comprehensive community of limited take-off and landing airports is great for zero-emissions systems,” mentioned Stein Nilsen, CEO of Widerøe. “This aircraft demonstrates how promptly new technological know-how can and will be formulated, and that we are on monitor with our ambition of traveling with zero emissions all around 2025.”
Rolls-Royce will offer its abilities in producing the ability and propulsion systems. On the other hand, Tecnam will be dependable for building the aircraft layout as nicely as overseeing producing and certification. After the aircraft style and design is prepared, Widerøe will choose more than to guarantee that airline operations are ready for support by 2026.
“We are hugely psyched to be offered the job as launch operator, but also humble about the difficulties of putting the world’s very first zero-emissions aircraft into services,” said Andreas Aks, main system officer at Widerøe. “Our mission is to have all new abilities, procedures and methods essential for a zero emissions operator, designed and authorised in parallel with the plane remaining made and licensed.”
Now, Rolls-Royce is a main world wide company of plane engines and other plane parts. Given the affect it has in the production of plane and submarine areas, Rolls-Royce can help the world shift away from emissions in this sector.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin said on Monday that they are holding a fundraiser for the Tuskegee NEXT 2025 Project.
The fundraiser will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, at the DuPage Airport, 2700 International Drive, West Chicago.
The program's goal is to train 100 Chicago-based minority youths in aviation so they can earn their pilot licenses by 2025.
The program will use formal flight training to teach the youths about the aerospace industry. The project includes life skills, mentorships and educational initiatives.
The program draws inspiration from the Tuskegee Airmen, the first black U.S. pilots who enlisted during WWII and overcame prejudice and segregation. The airmen became one of the most renowned and respected fighter groups during the war and led the way for the U.S. military to integrate minorities within the service branches.
“As a result of a lackluster economy and increasing flight-training costs, the aviation industry is at risk of entering an era of unprecedented pilot-staffing challenges,” Stephen Davis, DuPage Airport Authority Chairman, said. “I began to wonder how we could do our part in finding solutions to this challenge, while opening up the door to the aerospace industry to talented, eager, but at-risk children from underserved areas in our own backyard. A model was set many years ago with the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.”
“We are thrilled to team up with Cook County and the DuPage Airport to provide this one-of-a-kind experience for youth as they explore careers in the aerospace industry,” Cronin said. “We hope to both inspire the next generation and provide important mentoring relationships for participants.” | aerospace |

Vancouver, BC, – 30 November 2023 – VERSES AI Inc. (CBOE: VERS) (OTCQX: VRSSF) (“VERSES” or the “Company”), a cognitive computing company specializing in next-generation intelligent software systems, welcomes National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) to the Beta program of its Intelligence-as-a-Service platform, Genius™.
NASA seeks to advance international and interagency collaboration on space exploration through technology and policy standards. NASA, JPL and many other stakeholders in the new “space race” have a vested interest in standardizing infrastructure and supporting the space economy, which Morgan Stanley estimates may grow to $1 Trillion by 2040.
The international space agency community is actively seeking to develop standards for space exploration. For example, many countries have recently announced their intention to return to the moon. To ensure safety and collaboration, in 2020, NASA published the Artemis Accords, a non-binding multilateral arrangement between thirty-two world governments and one territory participating in NASA’s Artemis space program, which aims to return humans to the moon by 2025, establish a permanent presence on the moon and ultimately expand space exploration to Mars and beyond. The Accords set out to define space rules and laws governing various activities, from exploiting natural resources on the moon, comets and asteroids to governments’ ability to protect access to lunar bases or mining zones. PWC estimates that the lunar economy will reach $170B by 2040.
In addition to governance considerations, many technical specifications must be developed, including power distribution, communications, positioning, navigation and timing, lunar surface surveying, lunar satellite networks for guidance and communications and cislunar space traffic control. Interoperability is central to the success of the global space economy.
“Interoperability of systems is critical to ensure safe and robust space exploration. Therefore, the Artemis Accords call for partner nations to utilize open international standards, develop new standards when necessary, and strive to support interoperability to the greatest extent practical,” says NASA.
“We believe that interoperability, knowledge sharing, transparency and accountability are prerequisites for collaboration in space and is precisely the kind of application that Genius is uniquely designed to enable,” said VERSES CTO Jason Fox.
Genius is built on the open standards designed by the Spatial Web Foundation being developed within the IEEE P2874 Spatial Web, Architecture and Governance Working Group. IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is the world’s largest standards development organization (SDO) and works with many other SDOs and government agencies involved in space exploration. The standards have already been successfully deployed in Flying Forward 2020, a European Commission program chartered with defining governance systems for autonomous drones across five European cities.
Similarly, NASA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), among others, seek to develop a civil lunar infrastructure that unifies other siloed efforts to foster shareable, scalable systems that interoperate. Genius is the only system based on these open standards designed specifically to foster this kind of interoperability and governance on Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond.
“I’m thrilled that JPL will participate in the Genius beta program because it represents one more step towards standardization. While serving as CTO of the Open Geospatial Consortium, the standards body responsible for key geospatial information standards, my experience with NASA and JPL is that real tests using running code are essential in adopting standards. And standards are the foundation to enabling industries and economies to thrive,” said George Percivall, Distinguished Engineering Fellow and Vice-Chair of the IEEE P2874 Working Group on behalf of the Spatial Web Foundation.

The laser panic comes just days after a Virgin Atlantic jet bound for New York was forced to return to the west London airport after laser was shone at its cockpit.
Scotland Yard said the latest incident, which came at 7.47pm last night, is being investigated.
A spokesman said: “Police are investigating an incident where a laser was shone into the direction of an incoming flight into Heathrow Airport.
“It did not endanger the aircraft. Enquiries continue to establish where the offence took place.
General secretary Jim McAuslan said: “Aircraft are attacked with lasers at an alarming rate and with lasers with ever-increasing strength.
“It is an incredibly dangerous thing to do. Shining a laser at an aircraft puts that aircraft, its crew and all the passengers on board at completely unnecessary risk.
“We repeat our call to the Government to classify lasers as offensive weapons which would give the police more power to arrest people for possessing them if they had no good reason to have them. This incident shows why this is becoming more and more urgent.”
More than 8,998 laser incidents across the country were reported to the UK Civil Aviation Authority between 2009 and June 2015. | aerospace |

The World Arbitration Update (WAU) addresses key and novel topics of investment and international commercial arbitration, as well as public international law. WAU has an objective to connect the different regions with the global community, creating a unique space for practitioners, private parties, arbitrators, academics and students to discuss and network. WAU nourishes the conversation by following a distinct format, in a decentralized forum in which each day the focus is on a specific region, starting with the Americas (Monday), Africa and MENA (Tuesday), Asia Oceania (Wednesday), Europe (covered in this post), and lastly Friday was dedicated to diverse topics.
On 29 September 2022, the WAU hosted a topical discussion in a realm that is, a priori, intrinsically decentralized: the interconnection between space law and international arbitration. The panel was moderated by Viva Dadwal (King & Spalding), and featured Prof. Irmgard Marboe (University of Vienna, Austria), Werner Eyskens (Crowell Moring LLP, Partner), Dr. Jan Frohloff (Space Arbitration Association), Nick Storrs (Taylor Wessing, Partner) and Maximilian Trautinger (Schonherr).
Laying Down the Legal Framework: Main Treaties, Principles and Rules of International Law
Prof. Irmgard Marboe first introduced the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 (“OST”), which set the general principles governing human activities in outer-space. Based on this first foundational Treaty, four other specialized agreements followed: the Rescue Agreement of 1968 on assistance in the rescue of astronauts (which builds upon OST’s articles 5 and 8), the Liability Convention of 1972 (“LIAB”) concerning damage caused by a State’s space objects on the surface of the Earth or to aircraft, the Registration Convention of 1974(“REG”) which builds upon the previous instruments and aims at identifying space objects, and finally, the Moon Agreement of 1979, which notably provides for the peaceful use of the Moon and “other celestial bodies”.
Prof. Irmgard Marboe stressed that these Treaties lay down four principles relevant to international disputes: responsibility, liability, registration, and the definition of a “launching State“.
The principle of responsibility in space law provides that States are internationally responsible for their national activities, conducted both by national governmental and non-governmental entities, in case of violations of international law (“unlawful acts“). The corollary is that the activities of non-governmental entities in outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, shall require authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Treaty.
The principle of liability in space law provides that States are internationally liable for damages caused by space objects for which they are the “launching State“. Liability is absolute for damage on Earth and aircraft in flight, and based on fault for damage caused in outer space.
The principle of registration in space law provides that States have the obligation to register space objects for which they are the “launching State“. Registration creates a link between a space object and the liable State.
The “launching State” refers to a State which:
- launches or procures the launching of a space object; or
- from whose territory or facility a space object is launched.
In terms of procedural aspects, the LIAB includes specific rules on outer-space dispute settlement. These rules provide for the establishment of a Claims Commission. The Claims Commission issues recommendatory awards, which will be final and binding if the parties have so agreed. Outer-space disputes may also be resolved through arbitration. In 2011, the Permanent Court of Arbitration published optional rules for arbitrating disputes relating to outer space activities, based on the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.
The Need for International Dispute Resolution: Arbitration as an Efficient Mean to Settle Disputes
Werner Eyskens recalled that space is an expanding market, increasingly dominated by private players, and subject to significant constraints. Werner Eyskens contends that, for three reasons, such a market will generate numerous disputes.
First, the scarcity of resources and the multiplication of incidents. Second, the multiplication of private players with short-term economic objectives, which will resort to arbitration to translate potential losses in financial compensation. Third, space activities cover many technical areas that can generate disputes regarding frequency spectrum, environment, tourism, etc.
Werner Eyskens observed that arbitration may be the most appropriate way to settle these disputes, because of the advantages it offers over State courts:
- an independent forum;
- the possibility to choose the language of the proceedings and to designate specialized arbitrators;
- a controlled document production process; and
- the opportunity for parties to bring forward their own experts.
The Specific Features of Space Arbitration: Political, Public Law, and Confidentiality Aspects
Dr. Jan Frohloff stressed that space arbitration presents three features. First, space disputes can become political, since satellites and rockets are dual-use goods, and because some of the key players in the industry are still space agencies. An example can be found in the Antrix v. Devas saga, where the Indian state-owned company Antrix had leased S-band satellite spectrum to Devas. Five years after the deal was signed, the Devas-Antrix agreement had become mired in controversy, with allegations of corruption, and the government rescinded the contract with Devas.
Second, space activities largely involve public law issues: the selling of satellites aboard requires export-control permits, and the operating of a satellite in orbit requires the right to use the frequency in the relevant orbit. These public law issues regularly find their way to space arbitration. For example, in ABSH v. KT and KTSAT, the arbitral tribunal had to decide whether title to a geostationary satellite had passed from the Korean seller of the satellite (KT) to the foreign buyer (ABS); after Korea’s Ministry of Science issued an order that declared the purchase agreement “null and void” and since KT had allegedly failed to obtain a Korean export permit.
Third, Dr. Jan Frohloff recalled that due to the nature of this industry, space arbitrations are most often confidential: there are therefore few sentences publicly available in this area.
The Impact of Space Debris in the Industry: Damages and its Liability Regime
Nick Storrs observed that “space debris” represent a near-term existential threat to the space industry itself, which therefore has a strong interest in ensuring that this matter is managed. He recalled that damages caused by objects in outer space are principally governed by the LIAB. This liability regime requires to identify (1) to which State the particular debris belong and (2) whether there is a fault. Both of these elements are difficult to determine in practice.
For now, the issue of space debris is largely managed through inter-agency cooperation, like the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee, whose Guidelines on Space Debris Mitigation provide a cooperation framework by setting basic standards and objectives.
Space debris management is therefore self-regulated, without an enforcement mechanism. Nick Storrs anticipated that enforceable commitments will become necessary as the industry grows and space debris multiply. Arbitration may have a role in such commitments. Nick Storrs drew a parallel with environmental issues where, in spite of the difficulty of attributing liability, international agreements have defined common standards and have included arbitration as a means of dispute resolution.
The Allocation of Space Resources
Maximilian Trautinger highlighted the issue of the allocation of space resources. In particular, geostationary orbital positions (“GEO”) are a limited resource, and were first allocated through a first come first served approach. In 1977, the International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”) adopted an allotment plan for GEO. For other orbital positions than GEOs, such as the Low Earth Orbit (“LEO”), the first come first served approach still prevails.
The same applies to the use of the radio frequencies, which are also limited resources. While the allotment of radio frequencies in GEOs is managed by the ITU, radio frequencies in other orbits are allocated on a first come first served basis.
The question of resource ownership will therefore become even more pressing in the future. Maximilian Trautinger recalled that the principle of non-appropriation set out in the Outer Space Treaty and the Moon Treaty provides that outer space and celestial bodies are not subject to appropriation.
However, in 2015, the U.S. adopted the SPACE Act allowing US citizens and industries to engage in the commercial exploration and exploitation of space resources. Similar regulations were passed in Luxembourg and Japan, suggesting that the issue of space resources ownership will become an important source of disputes in the future.
Maximilian Trautinger also pointed out the potential conflicts that could arise from (1) the delivery of critical materials based on complex supply chains and (2) the growth of private investments in space, increasingly exposing investors to the risks of this industry.
According to Maximilian Trautinger’s words, we are entering a period of growing frictions in a frictionless space. The principles set out in the existing international legal instruments, established at a time when States were the main players in space exploration, are effectively being challenged. These frictions concern, first of all, the rise of private actors, with their own interests, alongside the States. These frictions are also caused by some States themselves, when they grant their nationals certain rights in contradiction with the principle of non-appropriation. Lastly, these frictions are also due to the intensification of space activities and their consequences, e.g., the multiplication of debris.
These frictions will inexorably give rise to disputes, between different actors, and regarding various issues. Because of its flexibility and efficiency, arbitration appears perfectly suited to the resolution of these disputes. If it already plays a role today, its wider use will however depend on the adoption of binding international agreements.

The encounters “required the Air Force F-15s to travel at supersonic speeds, a sound noticed by area residents,” the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) confirmed in a release, the Palm Beach Daily News reported. The planes took 14 minutes to travel 75 miles from Homestead.
Over the weekend, eight of the violations occurred on Friday: F-15 jets flew alongside two of the violators, and a military helicopter did the same with a third, according to the Daily News.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday the pilots’ identities and registration numbers of the planes will remain confidential pending investigation. It was unclear, according to the Daily News, whether violations had also occurred during the president’s previous two weekend visits.
“The FAA will investigate each incident and will take appropriate enforcement action. The FAA also will continue to conduct outreach to educate local pilots about the restrictions,” the agency said in a statement.
Not having radios tuned in is the cause of most temporary flight-restriction violations, a NORAD spokesperson told the Daily News. The pilot involved in Sunday’s incident also had no radio communication until the F-15 jets got close.
The U.S. Secret Service dictates certain flight restrictions whenever a president is in town, limiting Lantana airport’s traffic and imposing limits at other Palm Beach County airports.
Aviation businesses at Palm Beach International Airport and the county’s three general aviation airports say Trump’s last two weekend stays at Mar-a-Lago have cost them about $250,000 in business, the Daily News reported. [Palm Beach Daily News] — Gabrielle Paluch | aerospace |

A Russian cosmonaut and a French astronaut returned to Earth Friday aboard the Russian Soyuz capsule after six months on the International Space Station, while its American crew remained in the orbital lab for an extended stay, revealed a problem television The NASA.
Russians Oleg Novitskiy and Thomas Pesquet to the European Space Agency, attacked the interior of the spacecraft and left the station at 6:47 a.m. AD (1047 GMT), while the complex sailed 400 miles above the Earth.
They made a southwestern parachute from Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, 10:00 am local time (1410 GMT).
A seat in the capsule was empty because US astronaut Peggy Whitson, who flew to the station with Novitskiy and Pesquet in November, will remain in orbit until September. She filled a vacancy after Russia had reduced its crew size to station two members to three.
“Of course we need Oleg and Thomas, they are outstanding astronauts,” said an emotional Whitson during a ceremony Thursday, where she returned control of the station 100 billion to Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin.
“Peggy is a legend,” said Pesquet. “We are a little sad to leave behind us, but we know it is in very, very capable hands.”
Whitson, Yurchikhin and astronaut Jack Fischer, also with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, will handle the station until a new team launches in late July.
“It’s going to be a bit difficult,” Whitson said during an interview with Reuters on Wednesday. “I was here on my last two expeditions and I was just a crew of three, but it was a much smaller season at that time.”
“However, I think it’s quite feasible,” he said.
Whitson, the station that serves for the third time, broke the US record in April for the time accumulated in space. By the time he returned to Earth in September, he has accumulated more than 660 days in orbit.
Gennady Padalka Russian cosmonaut, with 878 days in orbit, is the most experienced spaceflight in the world. | aerospace |

Paul Skinner was found guilty of reckless endangerment, by a judge at the Seattle Municipal Court.
It is believed to be the first time a drone pilot has been given a jail sentence.
The incident happened during Seattle’s 2015 Pride Parade.
According to the police, the 18in (45cm) by 18in drone crashed into a building and fell into the crowd, injuring two people.
Judge Willie Gregory said he acknowledged that the incident was an accident but added that the pilot had “engaged in conduct that put people in danger of being injured”.
Prosecutor Pete Holmes said the faulty operation of drones was a “serious public-safety issue that will only get worse” and more prosecutions could follow.
Ravi Vaidyanathan, a drone expert from Imperial College London, said he was “not aware of anything previously resulting in jail time”.
He said it was inevitable more accidents would follow and called on the regulatory bodies that governed drone use to provide “a consistent set of guidelines on usage”.
“In the US, there are rules for commercial use but different ones for hobbyists,” he said.
“In the UK, rules are governed by the size of aircraft, so in my understanding anything under 20kg [3st 2lb] can be flown without regulation.
“We are in uncharted territory, but the guidelines have to be consistent.”
He added the inconvenience to the public was also “non-trivial”.
“Having a drone buzzing around does not add to most people’s beach experience, for example, and we need to think about this too.”
During the past fiscal year, more than 1,200 possible collisions between an aircraft and a drone were reported to the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FAA was unable to confirm any strikes, but it has reported several close calls, including a Lufthansa jet approaching Los Angeles that passed within 200ft (60m) of a drone. | aerospace |

April 2023 Issue
By Elizabeth Skenes Millen
Photography submitted by Patty Wagstaff
“She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you
would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.” - Mark Twain
Mark Twain would be surprised to know Patty Wagstaff, who uniquely redefines refined and unrefined. Not only does she have a parrot, but she takes it flying with her. And she is not a passenger, rather she is an award-winning, upside-down, barrel-rolling, low-flying, nose-diving aerobatic pilot.
To Patty Wagstaff the sky represents beauty, freedom, and challenge. A six-time member of the US Aerobatic Team, she is the first woman to win the title of US National Aerobatic champion and one of the to few win it three times.
Energetic and spirited from early childhood, Patty has built a life of adventure, risk, and courage. She grew up in and around airplanes. At 9-years-old her family moved to Japan, where her father was a captain for Japan Air Lines. At 10, her father let her take the controls of his DC-6, and thus, her lifelong love affair with airplanes began.
Following her dreams even when no reward was in sight, her dedication pushed the limits of aerobatic flight. It was only three years into flying that she was called to aerobatics. “I wasn’t looking for a career, but I saw aerobatics and thought that’s what I want do. It was exciting, fast, and entertaining. It looked like a lot of fun! You don’t really choose it, it chooses you,” Patty said.
But how does one get in a plane and learn to fly it upside down?
And what about fear? Isn’t it terrifying?
“I’ve never been scared, except maybe getting to an air show, but in the plane—never. You start slow and build up. It takes a lot of practice, and it is very methodical. You have to stay in shape for it all year long. It’s definitely a lifestyle and a commitment,” Patty explained.
What does it feel like, though? A giant rollercoaster?
“Yes. It’s a lot like a roller coaster, but I’m so focused on what I’m doing, it’s a controlled rush. It’s not adrenaline. You have to stay focused. I’m built for it.”
Her breathtaking air show performances give spectators a front-row seat to the precision and complexity of modern, unlimited, hard-core aerobatics. Her smooth, aggressive style sets the standard for performers the world over. Patty has flown aerial displays in such exotic places as South and Central America, China, Russia, Europe, Singapore, Kenya, and Iceland.
She has also earned her Commercial, Instrument, Seaplane and Commercial Helicopter Ratings. She is a Flight and Instrument Instructor and is rated and qualified to fly numerous airplanes, from World War II fighters to jets. Patty’s sister, Toni, interestingly, is a commercial pilot for United Airlines which frowns upon turning the plane upside down. In other words, she leaves the aerobatics to Patty.
Patty’s skill is based on years of training and experience. She is a six-time recipient of the “First Lady of Aerobatics” Betty Skelton Award; an inductee into the National Aviation Hall of Fame and was the recipient of the National Air and Space Museum’s Award for Current Achievement. She is proud of receiving the air show industry’s most prestigious awards, the “ICAS Sword of Excellence”, and the “Bill Barber Award for Showmanship”. Recently she was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Air Force Association.
Patty’s dedication to aviation has helped empower women to find aviation as a career. “There is a big push for more women in aviation. It’s a great place for careers right now, and it’s good for women to see other women flying. And, the airplane doesn’t know the difference,” she said. Patty has never looked at her gender as a barrier to success. “You just have to make it work for you.” And, she has done that through hard work, focus, and serious dedication.
Patty shares her expertise across the world. Each year she and her team travel to Kenya where she leads a training program to give bush, recurrency and aerobatic training to the pilots of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Airwing, who protect Kenya’s wildlife and other natural resources from poachers. She also flew for Cal Fire for several years as an Air Attack pilot in the OV-10 Bronco, helping to keep California safe and supporting firefighters on the ground.
In 2013 she launched an aerobatic school, “Patty Wagstaff Aviation Safety” in St. Augustine, Florida. In addition to aerobatics, flight instructors at the school teach advanced aviation, training pilots how to stay out of trouble in the sky and how to recover if trouble occurs.
However, on April 22 and 23, Patty will be the only female flying and performing in the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort Air Show.
“I’m happy to be back in Beaufort, happy to be invited back. The Marines do a great job there with the show,” Patty said. “Air shows are a wonderful way for people to get exposed to aviation and the smaller planes. I want spectators to have a great time and gain a better appreciation for aviation. Airplanes are wonderful!”
If You Go:
The MCAS Beaufort Air Show will be held Saturday April 22 and Sunday April 23 at the Marine Corps Air Station on US 21. Be prepared to have an exciting day with the US Navy Blue Angels, Patty Wagstaff, the MAGTF, Franklin’s Flying Circus and so many more.
In addition to the air performers, patrons can visit exhibitors and partake in a Top Gun experience, helicopter rides, a Blue Angels cockpit experience, Monster Trucks, and Precision Driving.

The incidents, while rare, underscore the challenges faced by pilots in maintaining alertness and concentration during long-haul flights, particularly when operating under demanding schedules and in adverse conditions.
Indonesian pilots both fall asleep mid-flight
The first incident occurred on a domestic Indonesian flight, where both pilots reportedly fell asleep for a brief period while on autopilot. Fortunately, the flight crew managed to awaken and regain control of the aircraft without incident. However, the incident raised concerns about the adequacy of rest periods for pilots and the effectiveness of fatigue risk management systems within Indonesian aviation.
In the aftermath of the incident, aviation authorities in Indonesia conducted a thorough investigation and implemented measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future. This included revising flight crew scheduling practices, enhancing fatigue awareness training, and implementing more stringent monitoring of pilot rest periods.
Despite these efforts, a second incident occurred several months later involving another Indonesian flight crew. Once again, both pilots were reported to have fallen asleep mid-flight, prompting renewed scrutiny of safety protocols and fatigue management practices within the country’s aviation industry.
The incidents served as a wake-up call for Indonesian aviation authorities, prompting a comprehensive review of regulations and procedures to address underlying issues related to crew fatigue and operational safety. This included strengthening oversight of flight crew duty hours, improving training on fatigue management techniques, and enhancing awareness of the importance of maintaining optimal alertness levels during flight operations.
In response to these incidents, the Indonesian aviation industry has redoubled its efforts to prioritize safety and ensure that robust mechanisms are in place to prevent crew fatigue-related incidents. By learning from past mistakes and implementing proactive measures, authorities aim to instill confidence among passengers and stakeholders in the safety and reliability of Indonesian air travel. | aerospace |

Humble, fossil-free, ageless and resistant to radiation; these are no superpowers, but merely perks of a good old-fashioned winter slumber, also known as hibernation. Dr. Rob Henning has been studying hibernation at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, and surprisingly, with his work recently gaining interest from the European Space Agency (ESA), his findings may help to advance human space travel.
Henning’s office is decorated with statues of little animals: “all hibernators” he points out as I admire his kingdom of inanimate souvenirs. He explains that animals in hibernation (also known as ‘torpor’) only need a fraction of the food, oxygen and water required to stay alive, due to almost entirely shutting down their metabolism.
Space agencies, most notably ESA, have become interested with how such knowledge of hibernation could be applied to long distance space travel. Henning and his fellow colleagues, now working for ESA, are focusing on answering key questions on how the state of hibernation is initiated, whether it is related to sleep, and which mechanisms are responsible for maintaining integrity during the torpor state.
When in space, each crew member needs about 30kg of food, water and oxygen supply per day, meaning a crew of six members would require roughly ten tons of weight for a return trip to Mars. According to ESA’ s correspondent, Laetitia de Groot, if Henning and his colleagues manage to decrease the basic metabolic rate of an astronaut by at least 75%, as commonly seen in hibernators, this could result in substantial mass and cost savings for long-duration space travel.
However, decreasing the metabolic rate would not solve all of the problems of long-distance space travel; human physiology is simply not adjusted to such journeys. Astronauts spend several hours a day working out in order to prevent bone and muscle loss decay – a serious health concern caused by the lack of gravity.
“The beauty of suppressing our metabolism is that we are not as responsive to the surrounding environmental factors. We already know of approaches that allow us to suppress our metabolism to more than 40% of the basal level. Even such mild suppression will be significant for practical application,” explains Yuri Griko, a NASA researcher also interested in hibernation, inspired by Henning’s work.
ESA has, for the first time, obtained data confirming that torpor can be induced synthetically in animals that do not naturally hibernate, also working as efficient protection against space radiation. Currently there are around two-hundred cross-discipline researchers working on applying hibernation research to space travel, but the idea of hibernating astronauts remains a controversial topic for most. However, some astronauts are coming to terms with this: “I would be open-minded,” says NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao, “but my initial preference would be to remain awake.”
So far, hibernation can only be mimicked. In order to induce it, the key would have to be found to turn off our metabolism. “If you figure out the switch you will get a Nobel prize,” laughs Dr. Henning. | aerospace |

Samples from Prof. Christian Betzel’s research group at Universität Hamburg will be aboard to be analyzed in the absence of gravity.
The experiment in the context of the CUI research is expected to be conducted on the ISS from mid-February to mid-March 2017 on behalf of Prof. Betzel’s group, aiming at optimizing the growth of micro- and nanocrystals (the launch originally scheduled for February 8 has been postponed at short notice). “In the absence of gravity, there is no convection or sedimentation which means that protein crystals can grow better and are of higher quality, lacking defects, and more pure,” the CUI scientist explains. It is exactly this process, the researchers want to analyze in detail.
Crystals help to determine the three dimensional structure and function of biomolecules at atomic resolution. This is significantly important for researching the basic components of life and understanding illnesses. State of the art experimental stations for serial femtosecond crystallography offer the opportunity to determine the atomic structure and function of biomolecules by using extremely small crystals. Betzel: “The crystals we use are getting smaller and smaller and for that reason they have to become better and more pure. Certain proteins can only be analyzed with the help of such tiny little crystals.”
The samples for the experiment on the ISS had been prepared in December 2016 already at NASA, USA. Thereby the researchers chemically modified certain proteins, thus contaminating protein solutions, which will be used for crystallization experiments on the ISS in accurately calculated concentration series. Now the scientists want to observe the process of contamination in space and compare it with experimental results on earth in order to understand how gravitation contributes to contaminations in crystals. The ISS is equipped with a special microscope (LMM, Light Microscopy Module) the data of which are live video transmitted to a protected computer system in the working group’s laboratory at the Institute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Back on earth the crystals will be further analyzed with synchrotron radiation at DESY and applying mass spectroscopy. The results from this research project will contribute to the targeted production of protein crystals, which will also be used at European XFEL in the future.
Betzel: “We have applied for the experiment at ISS in the year 2013 together with colleagues in the US.” The NASA call for proposals “Research Opportunities in Complex Fluids and Macromolecular Biophysics” concentrated on analyzing mass transport in the absence of gravity. “We applied and very early found collaborators in the US. Similar to ESA, the selection process is rather competitive and the preselection is followed by several obstacles and requirements,” the CUI scientist explains. Including the time for preparing such an experiment, planning takes two to three years. Furthermore, specific conditions have to be taken into account, for example only special hardware and materials are approved on the ISS, as particular glass capillaries in this case.
The project is also supported by the German national aeronautics and space agency (Deutsche Agentur für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR). Text: PR UHH/Adler | aerospace |

This house station will be designed primarily for non-continuous human habitation. The first tentative steps of returning to crewed lunar missions will be Artemis 2, which is to include the Orion crew module, propelled by the SLS, and is to launch in 2023. This mission is to be a 10-day mission deliberate to briefly place a crew of four right into a Lunar flyby. The building of the Gateway would begin with the proposed Artemis three, which is planned to deliver a crew of 4 to Lunar orbit along with the primary modules of the Gateway. NASA plans to build full scale deep house habitats such as the Lunar Gateway and the Nautilus-X as a part of its Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships program.
- Their earliest packages were performed under the pressure of the Cold War competitors between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
- In the approaching years, NASA hopes to build on that status, bringing an asteroid closer to Earth so we are able to research it more closely, and sending manned missions to Mars.
- The Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle was held over from the canceled Constellation program for Artemis.
- This initiative is to contain the development of a brand new space station, which will have many features in frequent with the current International Space Station, except that it will be in orbit about the Moon, instead of the Earth.
- Skylab was the United States’ first and solely independently constructed space station.
Historically, Ames was founded to do wind-tunnel analysis on the aerodynamics of propeller-driven aircraft; nonetheless, it has expanded its role to doing analysis and technology in aeronautics, spaceflight, and data technology. It offers leadership in astrobiology, small satellites, robotic lunar exploration, intelligent/adaptive systems and thermal safety. Skylab was the United States’ first and only independently constructed area station. Damaged throughout launch by the loss of its thermal safety and one electricity-producing photo voltaic panel, it was repaired to performance by its first crew. It was occupied for a total of 171 days by three successive crews in 1973 and 1974. It included a laboratory for learning the effects of microgravity, and a solar observatory.
What Does Nasa Stand For And What Do They Do?
The United States Space Force is the space service department of the United States Armed Forces, while the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is an unbiased company of the United States authorities answerable for civil spaceflight. NASA and the Space Force also associate on matters such as defending Earth from asteroids. Space Force members can be NASA astronauts, with Colonel Michael S. Hopkins, the commander of SpaceX Crew-1, commissioned into the Space Force from the International Space Station on 18 December 2020. In September 2020, the Space Force and NASA signed a memorandum of understanding formally acknowledging the joint role of both businesses. This new memorandum changed an analogous doc signed in 2006 between NASA and Air Force Space Command. While the Space Shuttle program was nonetheless suspended after the loss of Columbia, President George W. Bush introduced the Vision for Space Exploration including the retirement of the Space Shuttle after finishing the International Space Station.
Apollo eight was the primary crewed spacecraft to orbit another celestial physique, whereas Apollo 17 marked the last moonwalk and the last crewed mission beyond low Earth orbit. The program spurred advances in many areas of expertise peripheral to rocketry and crewed spaceflight, together with avionics, telecommunications, and computers. Apollo sparked interest in many fields of engineering and left many physical facilities and machines developed for this system as landmarks. Many objects and artifacts from this system are on show at numerous places throughout the world, notably on the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museums. It is a USA authorities company that works for the civilian area program in addition to for aeronautics, scientific discovery, Earth and aerospace analysis. It was established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act on 1 October 1958 by president Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Nasa Authorization Act Of 2017
Currently, NASA has astronauts residing and dealing on the International Space Station. Many NASA staff are literally scientists and engineers, but there are staff within the company in a number of different jobs like secretaries, writers, lawyers and lecturers. The agency employs more than 17,000 individuals, with many more working with the company as authorities contractors. NASA is controlled by an administrator who’s nominated by the president and confirmed by a vote within the Senate. NASA additionally supports the International Space Station and is oversees the event of the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, the Space Launch System and Commercial Crew vehicles. NASA was established the next yr by President Eisenhower and the company succeeded the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics .
The goal of this program is to land “the first woman and the subsequent man” on the lunar south pole region by 2024. Artemis could be step one in the direction of the long-time period aim of building a sustainable presence on the Moon, laying the inspiration for personal corporations to build a lunar financial system, and eventually sending humans to Mars. President Obama’s plan was to develop American private spaceflight capabilities to get astronauts to the International Space Station, substitute Russian Soyuz capsules, and use Orion capsules for ISS emergency escape purposes. The NASA Authorization Act of 2010 was passed by Congress and signed into legislation on October 11, 2010. On 20 missions (1983–1998) the Space Shuttle carried Spacelab, designed in cooperation with the European Space Agency .
Today In Historical Past

In February 2021, it was introduced that “Blue Ghost Lander”, a robotic gadget being constructed in Cedar Park, Texas, will be sent to the moon’s Mare Crisium in 2023 to assist prepare for NASA’s aim of returning to the Lunar surface. Former astronaut Charles Bolden served as NASA’s twelfth administrator from July 2009 to January 20, 2017. Bolden is certainly one of three former astronauts who became NASA directors, together with Richard H. Truly (served 1989–1992) and Frederick D. Gregory . The second administrator, James E.

First HD panorama of Mars! panoramas.dk/mars/greeley-h…— Cory Morton (@corymorton) August 8, 2012
That picture certainly is an HD panorama of Mars. But it’s nowhere near being the first, and it wasn’t taken by the Curiosity rover which landed on the planet a few days ago. It was taken by the still-functioning Opportunity rover between December 2011 and May 2012 (you can find the original TIFF, with added data, on NASA’s site). If you look at the home page of the site it’s on, they have HD panoramas from the MER mission (which comprised the twin rovers Opportunity and Spirit) dating back to January 2004. And the first panorama from Mars was actually taken by Viking 1 back in 1976.
Curiosity has sent back a panorama of its location, but it looks like this:
UPDATE: NASA have just released Curiosity’s first colour panorama.
And the picture of “sunrise on Mars” being attributed to Curiosity is also not actually taken by Curiosity:
It was taken by the Spirit rover in 2005. And it’s of sunset, not sunrise. It is on Mars, though.
UPDATE: Another Martian picture that’s been doing the rounds, also attributed in many places to Curiosity, is this one:
Earth seen from Mars last Saturday twitter.com/Newstalkfm/sta…— Newstalk 106-108 fm (@Newstalkfm) August 19, 2012
Unlike the others, this isn’t just misattributed to the wrong rover - it’s not a genuine picture from Mars at all. Phil Plait at Bad Astronomy has a convincing debunking of the image, which he suggests is most likely a rendering from a piece of astronomy software. | aerospace |

However, pricing can still vary significantly depending on several factors. In this article, we'll explore the world of private jet charter prices and provide tips on how to get the best deal.
How Much Does it Cost to Charter a Private Jet, and How Do You Get the Best Prices?
There are several ways to save on private jet charter prices. One of the easiest ways is to be flexible with your travel dates and times, as prices can vary significantly depending on demand. Another option is to choose a nearby airport with lower fees, which can also reduce costs. Additionally, booking in advance or through a private jet charter broker can provide access to discounted rates.
The Most Expensive Private Jet Charter Routes:
Private jet charter prices can vary greatly depending on the route, with some routes being more expensive than others. Some of the most expensive routes include New York to Los Angeles, London to New York, and Hong Kong to New York. These routes are popular among business travelers and celebrities, which can drive up demand and prices.
The Rise of Shared Private Jet Charter and Its Impact on Prices:
Shared private jet charter, also known as "empty legs," has emerged as a more affordable option for private jet charter. This service allows passengers to book a one-way flight on a private jet that is already scheduled to fly empty. As a result, the price is significantly lower than a traditional private jet charter. This option has become more popular in recent years, and its impact on traditional private jet charter pricing remains to be seen.
The Future of Private Jet Charter Pricing: Trends to Watch:
As technology continues to advance, private jet charter pricing may change as well. One trend to watch is the use of dynamic pricing, which allows prices to adjust in real-time based on supply and demand. Additionally, the rise of electric and sustainable private jets may also impact pricing, as these options could potentially be more affordable than traditional private jets in the long run.
Hidden Costs of Private Jet Charter: What to Look Out For:
While private jet charter prices may seem straightforward, there can be hidden costs to watch out for. These costs can include landing fees, fuel surcharges, and catering fees. Additionally, some private jet charter companies may require a minimum number of flight hours or charge for additional services like Wi-Fi or baggage handling. It's important to understand all of the costs involved before booking a private jet charter.

Just ten years after the Wright Brothers flew in 1903, flights took place near Featherston and at Gladstone.
Wellington engineer Percy Fisher designed and built a small monoplane in 1912 which he tested at Pigeon Bush. Although he made some short ‘hops’, it was too windy and he tried the flat farmland at Hurunui-o-rangi near Gladstone where, between June and August 1913, he made many short flights, the first by a New Zealand-built aircraft.
After World War One there was great interest in aviation, many record-breaking flights were made and pilots were treated as celebrities. The Wairarapa Aero Club, later changed to Wairarapa and Ruahine Aero Club, was formed in August 1929.
By February 1930, Martinborough had an airfield and a hangar. Flight Lieutenant Park was the first instructor, a De Havilland Moth, ZK-ABE was bought and six pupils began training. Jack Kingsnorth was the first to gain his license.
The Masterton airfield was on the South Road extension near the Waingawa River, where working bees cleared the stony land. On 14 March 1931 the first North Island Pageant was held, with 33 aircraft attending. At the show, Masterton’s airfield was named Hood Aerodrome after George Hood, a Masterton pilot who had died trying to fly the first Tasman Sea crossing in January 1928. A clubhouse was built, later burning down in 1949.
Wairarapa was visited by several famous pilots in the 1930s. Australian airmen Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm offered joy rides for 10 shillings, and New Zealander Jean Batten visited in August 1934 after flying from England to Australia.
In September 1939, the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) took all club aircraft for pilot training so the Wairarapa and Ruahine Aero Club stopped flying. In 1940, the RNZAF decided to use Hood Aerodrome and more land was bought by the government. In April 1942, 14 (Fighter) Squadron arrived in Masterton, with Harvard trainers and later with P-40 Kittyhawk fighters. Officers lived in a Masterton hotel while ground staff lived at a camp near the east end of Kuripuni Street. Blast pens, to protect the aircraft from attack, were constructed around the airfield and there were three runways. 14 Squadron left Masterton in 1943 to fight in the South Pacific.
After war ended the aero club began flying again, using Tiger Moths, Proctors and Auster aircraft. A new clubhouse was built in the early 1950s.
Trials for aerial topdressing using RNZAF Avenger aircraft were held at Hood in 1949 and soon after Air Contracts, using Tiger Moths, began topdressing. Masterton became part of the new topdressing industry with several companies at Hood. Through the 1950s and 1960s, many different types of topdressing aircraft were seen at Hood Aerodrome – Cessnas, Fletchers, Pipers, Agricolas and Beavers. Trials with a large Bristol Freighter dropping up to 6 tonnes of fertilizer were held in 1954.
The Wairarapa and Ruahine Aero Club became more active and bought modern light craft. The club also had gliders from 1959 and Hood became an important base for gliding. The club used winch and aircraft launching and national gliding competitions saw many gliders circling Masterton.
In the 1960s, Hood Aerodrome became an airline destination when South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand (SPANZ) was formed. The airline flew DC-3 Viewmasters to smaller cities and towns from 1960 to 1966. It was difficult for a small airline to compete with New Zealand’s national airline NAC and since SPANZ several other airlines have tried to offer passenger services from Masterton without much success.
Over the years there have been many air pageants at Hood Aerodrome and an airshow in March 1954 was part of Masterton’s centennial celebrations. | aerospace |

Jack Edwards, president of Halter Marine, has announced the recent launching of the solid rocket booster recovery vessel Independence at its Moss Point, Miss., yard. The 200-foot vessel will perform the key role in the recovery of rocket boosters launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California as part of the space shuttle program.
Participating in the launching ceremony as principal speaker was Maj. Gen. Donald W. Henderson, the officer in charge of the Air Force's Shuttle Program. His wife, Dawn E. Henderson, christened the vessel.
The twin-screw vessel is propelled by two Cummins KTA-3067-M 16- cylinder diesel engines, each with an output of 1,250 bhp at 1,800 rpm. She is fully equipped to handle all necessary diving evolutions, with complete diving equipment, air refilling systems, and a hyperbaric chamber for decompression. Bow and stern thrusters will be used for propulsion for safety when divers are in the water. A complete electronics system for navigation, communications, and for locating and recovering the rocket boosters will be installed.
The Independence is being built by Halter under a contract from Lockheed Shipbuilding. The Lockheed Space and Operations Company will take delivery of the vessel, which will be operated for Lockheed by Morton Thiokol. Delivery is scheduled for May this year.
Gen. Henderson stated that the solid rocket booster recovery process is a "prime example of de- signed-in cost avoidance that contributes substantially to providing an affordable launch system. A new set of solid rocket boosters costs $67 million. The retrieval and refurbishment cuts that cost to $22 million, a net saving of $45 million per mission. The Independence may well pay back its costs in the first few missions." He then went on to praise the Lockheed/Halter team responsible for the Independence, in particular the shipyard at Halter Marine's Moss Point yard for building the vessel on schedule and within budget. Mr. Edwards, in his launching ceremony address, said that the performance of the program to date is a tribute to the Lockheed and Halter team. He said that he was pleased that the Moss Point yard once again demonstrated its superb performance by building a vessel of outstanding quality and meeting the rigorous schedule required to deliver the Independence on schedule.
The Independence is expected to participate in the first space shuttle launch from the Vandenburg site, which is scheduled for early 1986. | aerospace |

BRUSSELS – 30 April 2019 – Drone Alliance Europe (DAE) is pleased to announce that Azur Drones has joined the Alliance as an Associate Member. Growth in Alliance membership coincides with the European Commission’s forthcoming formal publication of the Delegated and Implementing Regulations governing aspects of drone certification and operations.
Founded in 2012, Azur Drones developed Europe’s leading fully autonomous drone in a box solution to assist in safety and security operations. It is also the first company to receive authorization for autonomous drone flight from the French Directorate-General for Civil Aviation (DGAC).
“Azur Drones’ membership in DAE strengthens the Alliance’s leadership as the European Commission and EASA work to formally publish the Implementing and Delegated Regulations as well as continue work on U-Space and the Specific and Certified categories. Continued growth in membership comes at a critical juncture when a unified call for harmonised implementation of drone regulations across all Member States is needed most. DAE looks forward to working with the Azur Drones team to ensure continued growth of the European commercial drone market,” DAE Executive Director Christoph Raab stated.
“The fully autonomous drone industry has tremendous growth potential, but is still experiencing regulatory barriers which hamper its development. Azur Drones is delighted to join forces with DAE to pursue a forward-leaning regulatory framework. With DAE support, Azur Drones will promote new types of autonomous operations within European regulatory authorities and share its French experience at the international level,” Azur Drones CEO Jean-Marc Crépin added. | aerospace |

Just because we can’t fly anywhere in real life in the dystopian year of 2020, doesn’t mean we can’t take to the virtual cockpit in Microsoft Flight Simulator, releasing for Windows PC and Xbox Game Pass for PC on August 18.
A collaboration between Xbox Game Studios and Asobo Studios, Microsoft Flight Simulator will introduce staggering detail to its depiction of airports and aircraft alike. This includes more than 37,000 airports around the world, realistic planes, and real-life features such as live traffic and real-time weather impacting your flights.
In announcing the latest entry in the series since 2012’s spin-off Microsoft Flight and 2006’s last main entry Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator believes the time is right for the upcoming game.
‘We have been thrilled and humbled by the support and dedication that has fueled the Flight Sim community for the past 38 years,’ Neumann said. ‘Since the launch of the very first Microsoft Flight Simulator in 1982, we knew it was finally the right time to develop the next-generation version of Microsoft Flight Simulator.’
‘We have the right tools, technology, partners and hardware to release the most realistic and authentic flight simulator to date.’
Where things get a little confusing is in Microsoft Flight Simulator’s release structure. Alongside the August 18 release date, three editions of the game were announced: Standard Edition, Deluxe Edition, and the Premium Deluxe Edition.
Retailing at AU$99.99 is the Standard Edition, which will also be available to subscribers of Xbox Game Pass for PC (astoundingly considered to still be in beta) at no extra cost. The Standard Edition will include 20 ‘highly detailed planes with unique flight models and 30 hand-crafted airports’.
Priced at AU$139.95 and AU$179.95 are the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe editions respectively. The Deluxe Edition will include 25 highly detailed planes plus 35 enhanced airports, while the Premium Deluxe Edition includes 30 planes and 40 enhanced airports.
Hang on, what about the 37,000 airports? While not crystal clear in the announcement, every airport will be available in every version of Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, the specific airports mentioned in their respective purchase tiers are specially hand-designed for ultra-realism. This is discussed in further detail in an official developer video from February, where Sven Mestas, Lead Game Designer mentions the effort put into aspects such as buildings and terraforming (thanks to Kotaku Australia’s Alex Walker for the tip).
Thankfully, us Aussies are fortunate enough that Sydney is one of the enhanced airports included in Microsoft Flight Simulator’s Standard Edition, meaning good old ‘YSSY’ will be available through the Game Pass version.
Beyond the launch content, Microsoft promises ongoing content updates to Microsoft Simulator, which one would imagine to be additional planes and enhanced airports further down the game’s metaphorical runway.
Regardless of your interest in flight sims, one thing’s for certain: this game looks stunning. Considering Microsoft Flight Simulator is reportedly suited for beginners and pro pilots alike, I’ll likely don the aviators just to take a sticky beak at the lifelike vistas. | aerospace |

Updated: Dec 16, 2020
Rwanda became the first country in the world to use drones for the transportation of blood across its harsh terrain for transfusion needs. Drones were used by authorities in Australia to detect heat signals from koalas that survived devastating bushfires. There are numerous instances like these that have established the fact that drones are among the biggest disruptors of the 21st century, and there are hardly any signs of them going away.
A drone may be classified broadly into two categories:
Autonomous UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)
RPV (Remotely Piloted Vehicle)
An autonomous UAV is designed and employed for a specific or repetitive task, such as mapping, surveying, or crop spraying. Modern UAVs are also programmed for obstacle avoidance so they can perform reliable operations like deliveries.
Unlike UAVs, RPVs are specially designed for human control and general use. Their flight, speed, and directions can be controlled remotely by humans. They are employed in tasks that require unusual control, which cannot be generalized e.g., photography.
Use Cases of Drones
Companies around the globe have been incorporating drones into every possible application. From photography to coffee delivery, drones have proved themselves beneficial in all kinds of scenarios.
With the technology that makes drones lift-off from the palms of the hands, the uses are endless. When a citizen on Juist, a remote German island, wanted a package of medicines it was made possible by drone delivery. The incident was celebrated, not because a drone delivered it, but because the remote island now felt close and connected to the mainland. Deliveries aside, there are many other applications of drones, such as:
Future Use Cases of Drones
In the future, drones are going to be used in various ways. These will include using them for day to day activities and tasks. Amazon and Google are already scaling up to make unmanned parcel delivery possible, while Tacocopter is looking to deliver tacos using the same technology.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see drones being used in disaster relief operations in the future. Drones are expected to save B.P. $6 million a year by maintaining the road infrastructure at America’s most significant oil fields, which need constant surveillance of the roads that carry petroleum equipment. In the future, drones would serve as an important tool for the oil companies to locate places to drill and further help in the mapping of oil fields.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has already seen the use of drones for sanitization, and it isn’t stopping here. Drones are going to be used for much more in the future, such as news reporting, land mapping, topology surveying, wildlife monitoring, and more.
Market Analysis of Drones
The drone market is proliferating and has an estimated worth of $19.3 Billion as of 2019 and is expected to reach $45.8 billion by the end of 2025 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 15.5%. The registered number of drones in the U.S. alone stood at 1,563,263, and the number of pilots certified to man the drones stood at 171,744, giving ‘wings’ to the prediction. In June 2020, Honeywell Inc. invested in a new unmanned system business, as they were hoping to grab a major share of the market by creating avionics and autonomous flight control systems. Developments like this put a stamp of approval on the bright future of the drone. For drones to grab the market, it is important to analyze what to invest, where to invest and how much to invest.

Precision Hawk, an early American starter in the drone landscape, commands the largest war chest with funding totaling upwards of $136 million, making up almost 39% of the market. The company was the first to be granted an exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the year 2016, which enabled it to commercially fly drones beyond the line of sight of the operator. Apart from being a drone manufacturer and a pioneer in agricultural mapping, the company has now ventured into new verticals like construction, insurance, and energy. The company plans to use analytics and geospatial knowledge to set a new standard in drone remote sensing.
Skydio, a company formed by MIT graduates, takes the third spot with $70 million in funding and a market share of almost 20%. The company plans to challenge the superiority of the Chinese consumer drone pioneer, DJI. The high-end drone market has been clutched tightly by DJI, but Skydio, with its R1 Drone, tried to disrupt the space. Skydio recently announced the Skydio 2 drone, which is touted to be a notch higher than DJI’s technology. The company aims to make drone flying as easy as operating a cell phone’s camera.
Fields vs. No. of Patents
Analysis of the Number of Companies in Significant Fields
Countries with the Maximum Number of Patents
ImageKeeper LLC has filed a patent for a removal payload sensor system for a UAV, approximately at the same time as writing this informative piece. The patent is for a system that is intended to help the UAV fly within the airspace of the property and sensor/capture measurements of the same area. One can easily recognize the constant research and ongoing efforts in order to seize a part of this lucrative market that has patents being filed every minute.
Technology with no Challenges is just a Myth
Although the drone industry is growing at a constant rate, there are still several factors that are hampering its growth.
As the advancements in drone culture increase, there is a need to secure and safeguard air vehicle rights and control. The hindrance of the inventions use is likely due to the fact that:
36% of total countries in the world, do not have any drone laws/policies on paper.
8% of all countries have a complete ban on drones.
Drone legislature now exists in slightly more than 40% of total countries.
The most important issue surrounding drone-related legislation is security. Drones may be used for unauthorized surveillance, planned crimes, and rivalries. One can use a drone to survey a bank and analyze the building’s blueprint to plan theft. However, banning flights over individual buildings will not help much as it causes undesired air traffic.
Many countries are still not sure about what to do with drones, so they just banned them from controlling the information.
The control and formulation of drone policy affect the advancements in this technology. The countries where drone policies are flexible and adaptable have shown to advance greatly with drone use e.g., there has been a coffee delivery system that employs drones that were approved and is operational by the alphabet (Google Wing) in Australia.
Formulations and Rules
As of today, there are no real repercussions or action plans in case of extreme incidents involving drones such as accidents causing damage to vehicles or public/private property.
National Security Issues
The question of security is also important to consider as many terrorist-related organizations have already started to operate with drones. With these national-level security issues, it is imperative to have strong policies and limitations regarding drone use, such as providing drone licenses only after detailed investigations.
Air Traffic Management
Air traffic management is yet another issue that will continue to grow and is virtually uncontrollable as every organization will be using their own drones, which will create congestion in air routes. Consequences to this overcrowding may include bird accidents as birds may encounter injuries due to collisions with drone propellers.
Electronic Traffic Management
We are in a world of congested network traffics and with the rise of autonomous vehicles this issue increases, making it difficult to manage airwaves which could affect the health of humans and wildlife.
Where there is a problem, there is an opportunity to LEAD
Theft: While traveling in air, autonomous vehicles bear the risk of theft, which can be viewed as an opportunity rather than a problem. We already have GPS connected and location-enabled UAV’s however, the risk of theft is still there as one can remove or deactivate the transmitter-receiver system after getting their hands on an UAV. Given the large investments in UAVs, companies must be protected from such incidents.
Weather Stability: Another issue to be solved is the need to increase the weather stability of the drone. This is not only an immediate issue as it affects the current flight of drones but it will also affect the life cycle of drones, as low weather protection increases maintenance issues.
Birds Hindrance Damage: Although obstacle avoidance is a known method for decreasing bird-related damage, the problem is not yet solved as birds may unknowingly hit the propellers. With increased air traffic, there could be a high number of bird deaths if something is not done to equip drones with technology to avoid birds.
Fixed Wings vs. Flapping Wings: The primary difference between fixed wings and flapping wings is the fixed-wing craft gets its lift from a fixed airfoil surface while the latter gets lift from rotating airfoils called rotor blades. Although the decision to have flaps or not may depend on the application, there is no answer to whether fixed wing or flapping wings is the better flying system.
Drone Insurance: As companies spend millions of dollars to design their diamonds in the sky, it is of much concern to avoid loss if an accident occurs. This leads to the need for services such as drone insurance. Many companies started formulating their laws and policies to add insurance to your expensive tech piece. However, for many companies, it has yet to be decided on what services are to be provided under these insurances and what criteria you have to meet.
Future of Drones
While COVID-19 has slowed down the world economy, with some sectors experiencing a back-breaking ‘pain’, the outlook for drone technology does not seem so gloomy. With patents being obtained by a range of companies involved in the manufacturing of drones, the drone market only seems to grow. As artificial intelligence technology expands, drone technology seems to expand with it, which we can see from the massive number of drone startups and investments. Although there are many obstacles in the way of drones taking over the world, these can be easily tackled with a useful framework of rules and regulations. The future will provide drone technology with an array of opportunities for it to grow.

1963 Dallas Love Field Airport
This is 8mm home film footage from 1963. The film starts from the parking lot with a clear view of the sign reading “Dallas Love Field”. The film begins again on the inside of the airport watching aircraft getting ready to taxi or take off. I can not make out the first company, but the second is American Airlines. It may be Braniff as their building is seen later as an airplane takes off from the runway. As one the plane stops, all the luggage handlers and gas trucks converge as well as the outside passenger staircase. Air traffic control tower is next. There appears to be an outdoor walkway that a man is on. And, finally, the main indoor lobby space of the airport with its shops and 1960’s decor is seen. I love the space age looking ashtrays at the end of the seating. | aerospace |

BY Dan Sagalyn February 25, 2014
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Monday that the Air Force will retire the entire fleet of A-10 Warthogs, an aircraft that ground forces view as their guardian in the sky.
The Air Force owns about 350 A-10 Warthogs, which were designed during the
late 1970s and early 1980s specifically to support ground troops in close proximity to enemy forces.
The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American twin-engine, straight-wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic in the early 1970s. It is the only United States Air Force production aircraft designed solely for close air support, including attacking tanks, armored vehicles, and other ground targets with limited air defenses.
From "Hat In Ring"
I'm not opposed to the A-10 Warthog doing strafing runs on ISIS troop movements. "Just No Boots On The Ground". The A-10 Warthog is a great ground assault aircraft but Obama doesn't like his muslims and commi buddies being attacked by our most affective aircraft so obama, "Grounded The A-10" and the development of the F-22 Raptor". This "Fck'in Obama" is really screwing with U.S. combat effectiveness. If you have noticed everything Obama does degrades our U.S. military. The stories that these aircraft are crap is the left wing commi democrats trying to turn the U.S. armed forces into the Iraqi army that dumped all of their weapons and ran from the ISIS terrorists that were less armed than the Iraqi army. The A-10 Warthog and the F-22 Raptor are the U.S. most effective combat aircraft and make the russian and chinese aircraft look like toys. We all know how much Obama "Loves" his chinese and russian communist comrades and wants the U.S. to go into global communism with russia and china.

A water rocket is a type of model rocket using water as its reaction mass. The water is forced out by a pressurized gas, typically compressed air. … Water rocket hobbyists typically use one or more plastic soft drink bottle as the rocket’s pressure vessel.
Often the pressure vessel is built from one or more used plastic soft drink bottles, but polycarbonate fluorescent tube covers, plastic pipes, and other light-weight pressure-resistant cylindrical vessels have also been used.
The seal on the nozzle of the rocket is then released and rapid expulsion of water occurs at high speeds until the propellant has been used up and the air pressure inside the rocket drops to atmospheric pressure. There is a net force created on the rocket in accordance with Newton’s third law. The expulsion of the water thus can cause the rocket to leap a considerable distance into the air. | aerospace |

Galileo, a 10 billion euro ($12 billion) satellite tv for pc programme being developed by the EU as a rival to the U.S. International Positioning System, has emerged as a flashpoint in talks forward of Britain’s exit from the bloc.
“The Prime Minister has tasked engineering and aerospace consultants within the UK to develop choices for a British world navigation satellite tv for pc system,” Might’s spokesman stated on Wednesday.
“This might see Britain develop and launch its personal satellite tv for pc navigation system by the mid 2020s. It is a response to the EU indicating that it will not permit the UK to take part totally in Galileo.”

The far side of the moon — that is, the side that we never see here on Earth when we gaze skyward — hasn’t been studied in as great of detail as its near side. One of the things scientists were eager to observe is just how chilly the lander and its rover would get when enduring the lunar night and now we finally know.
Speaking with China’s Xinhua news group, researchers from the China National Space Administration revealed that temperatures recorded by the machines is significantly lower than had been predicted. It got as cold as -310 degrees Fahrenheit (-190 degrees Celsius) during the lunar night.
Those frigid temps are lower than what other missions have found on the opposite side of the moon, and Chinese scientists believe the composition of the surface may play a role. | aerospace |

Cherry pits normally take about ten years to blossom.
The repercussions of this accelerated growth could either be a miracle to the hunger crisis or a looming health disaster waiting to happen in the future.
Five years ago, an astronaut took 265 cherry pits on a space journey. When the pits were brought back to earth, a botanist was able to nurture one to sprout. Instead of taking years to bloom, the surprising result was that the space cherry tree only took five years to bloom.
This is less than half the time of normal cherry tree pits!
Additionally noted, the cherry tree sponsor (parent tree) has approximately 30 petals, but the space cherry tree buds have only five.
Is this something new? Not quite. Crew members aboard the International Space Station have been growing vegetables for years in their “space garden.” It has not been reported if they consumed the space fruit, yet. The experiments NASA is presently conducting could take up to 20 years.
A space station study is helping investigators develop procedures and methods that allow astronauts to grow and safely eat space-grown vegetables. The experiment also is investigating another benefit of growing plants in space: the non-nutritional value of providing comfort and relaxation to the crew. NASA
Now, I am as far as you can be from being an astrophysicist; I am lucky if I can guess where the Big Dipper is in the sky, but I have reservations on the new cherry tree accelerated growth.
I believe the molecular changes that occurred to the cherry pit while in space may be dangerous for human consumption. I could be wrong, what do you think? | aerospace |

By - Chris Hadfield
About the Book :
This is an inspirational memoir of space exploration and hard-won wisdom, from an astronaut who has spent a lifetime making the impossible a reality
Colonel Chris Hadfield has spent decades training as an astronaut and has logged nearly 4,000 hours in space. During this time he has broken into a Space Station with a Swiss army knife, disposed of a live snake while piloting a plane, been temporarily blinded while clinging to the exterior of an orbiting spacecraft, and become a YouTube sensation with his performance of David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ in space. The secret to Chris Hadfield's success – and survival – is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst – and enjoy every moment of it.
In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement – and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counterintuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff.
You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth – especially your own.
About the Author :
Chris Hadfield is one of the most seasoned and accomplished astronauts in the world. The top graduate of the U.S. Air Force test pilot school in 1988 and U.S. Navy test pilot of the year in 1991, Colonel Hadfield was selected to be an astronaut in 1992.

By the end of World War II, two global superpowers emerged ready to expand their influence throughout the world–the United States and Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The US and the USSR recognized each other as competitors and quickly turned to the arena of ballistic-missile development to demonstrate their rivalry. However, by 1957, the decade-old Cold War moved to a new frontier–space. With the launch of Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the world, and specifically the United States, had to reckon with the specter of an increasingly powerful Soviet Union. President Eisenhower did not address the press about Sputnik 1 for five days, and, when he did so, he declared that the launch did not raise his apprehensions one iota. While the President may have appeared unphased to the public, internally, the US government knew it had to respond.
By November 3, 1957, the USSR had successfully launched a second spacecraft into orbit, while all the US had to show for its efforts was a monumental failure in its first attempt at launching a spacecraft into orbit through Project Vanguard. The US had to come to terms with the USSR’s out-performing it in rocket technology and with the fact that it was losing both the arms race and the space race. The US Congress responded to the mounting pressure by reshaping America’s space program with the National Aeronautics and Space Act in 1958.
The 1958 Act ushered in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Council (NASC)–the very council that this committee will be simulating. Chaired by the President herself, this committee will be responding to a fraught space program requiring immediate action. As scientists, military members, politicians, and other high-ranking officials, delegates must stay aware of the developments of a tense geopolitical crisis while also keeping in mind the potential of space exploration as a symbol of peaceful coexistence and human progress. While the actual historical progression of the Space Race is important, delegates will be able to rewrite the history of American space exploration as we know it through crisis-style debate in Sessions I, II, and III. In Sessions IV and V, the committee will switch to General Assembly format to facilitate the creation of an International Space Treaty–a testament to what was done earlier in committee and the commitments of each delegate to international interests. Being a delegate on NASC will be an out-of-this-world experience, and we cannot wait to see you there and see your ideas. | aerospace |

Fellow passengers allege that the man got so intoxicated in his business class cabin that he started being violent.
The horrified passengers recalled how cabin crew staff on flight EK614 to Islamabad, Pakistan, tried to restrain the unruly man.
But the video shows how he violently headbutted one of the male air stewards – before he was finally restrained.
The camera catches another cabin crew member rushing to the steward’s help and the pair are able to wrestle him to the ground.
As the two cabin crew attempt to keep the man pinned to the ground, a third member of staff runs over with a pair of emergency black cable ties – kept onboard to deal with problematic passengers.
read more in-flight brawls
One air steward can then be seen forcibly keeping the man lying flat on the ground, while the other attaches the cuffs.
Other passengers have reported that the man was restrained in his seat with cabin crew watching over him until the Boeing 777 landed.
Pakistani airport police boarded the flight at 1:20am, local time, to arrest him.
A few passengers said that they were “terrified” by the rampage and avoided walking past the flier out of fear that he would attack them.
One passenger said: “The drunk guy was extremely violent. He was restrained and handcuffed by Emirates cabin crew but I think Pakistan authorities let him go as he was well connected.”
Emirates Airlines could not be reached for comment.
Alcohol is banned in Pakistan for Muslim residents – a law which is alleged to have led many citizens to binge drinking abroad.
Although the UAE is a similarly strict Islamic country, it has become more tolerant than its neighbours in recent years.
Amid its rise as a travel destination for Westerners, the laws have changed to allow anyone over the age of 21 to buy alcohol.
Drinks are only allowed to be consumed in private, or in licenced venues, but they are available inside Dubai International Airport and in bars and restaurants throughout the city.
No person is allowed to enter an aircraft drunk, however. No matter the country.
According to the Civil Aviation Act, nobody can enter an aircraft when drunk, or become drunk in any aircraft.
Airlines reserve the right to refuse passengers that they deem a potential risk – which includes anyone who is drunk.
And, if an aircraft commander has grounds to believe that a passenger is a risk, they are entitled to take any reasonable measure to protect safety.
Yet, drunken, mid-air brawls have become an increasing occurence over the last year – and particularly in February of this year.
On February 19, a terrifying brawl erupted on a Ryanair flight from Edinburgh to Tenerife.
Fellow passengers said they endured hours of chaos after two men, who are understood to be brothers, and a woman began shouting at each other.
A man in the blue top was filmed storming up the aisle of the plane and squaring up to the second man in the grey.
They both appeared to shout at anyone who tried to intervene and stop them.
A Ryanair spokesperson said: “The crew of this flight from Edinburgh to Tenerife (19 Feb) called ahead for police assistance after a small number of passengers became disruptive onboard.
“The aircraft was met by local police upon arrival at Tenerife and these passengers were removed. This is now a matter for local police.”
And just a day later, on February 20, a man on an American Airlines flight had to be restrained after he reportedly tried to open an emergency door mid-air.
The Wonton Don (@DonnieDoesWorld) said he was sleeping in his seat when he was stirred awake “by a man trying to aggressively open the airplane door 4 rows back.”
“Me and 5 other dudes had to wrestle him into the aisle, duct tape his legs, and throw flexi-cuffs on him.”
American Airlines told The U.S. Sun, “Flight 1219 with service from Albuquerque (ABQ) to Chicago (ORD) returned to ABQ shortly after takeoff due to a disturbance in the cabin involving a disruptive customer.
“The flight landed safely and the aircraft was met by local law enforcement upon arrival.” | aerospace |

When it comes to space and rockets I’m a geek. Even though I don’t want to travel in space I’m fascinated by it and those that do. With the end of NASA’s Shuttle program in 2011 we’ve been in a big space drought—that was until about a year or so ago when US private space ventures really started to kick in. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Sir Richard Branson and Burt Rutan’s Virgin Galactic, Alliant Techsystems, along with United Launch Alliance (a joint venture of Lockheed Martin Space Systems and Boeing Defense, Space & Security) have rushed to fill the void.
All the while the Russians have been providing the heavy lifting for all of the International Space Station (ISS) flights. Unfortunately, the last re-supply mission to the ISS went awry when the rocket failed to enter into a stable orbit after liftoff. Progress-M 27M is now tumbling back to earth.
One of my favorite geek space websites is http://www.n2yo.com/ Here you can track in real time everything we have currently orbiting the earth—including out-of-control rockets crashing to earth. According to the real space geeks who have crunched the numbers Progress-M 27M’s demise is estimated sometime on May 8th.
Now of course the rocket is degrading due to gravity and atmospheric conditions. The sun showed some activity on Tuesday leading to a response in Earth’s atmosphere. Flux levels continue to rise and atmospheric expansion can accelerate the orbital decay of the spacecraft. As it starts to encounter the denser layers of the atmosphere (beginning around 100 miles up) she will really begin to fail. Even with all the special algorithms and scary rocket-science calculations the current window is plus or minus up to 24 hours from the time of estimated crash.

How cool would it be to see this thing burn up right over head?!!!
Sadly, the weather report for South Florida is 30% chance of rain with a cloudy sky all day Friday.
Of course the odds that the rocket will decide to die within my sight, or sight of any human is pretty low. With the earth being 2/3rds water and a good portion of that land surface uninhabited scientists say there’s just a three percent chance of anyone seeing it—but a boy can dream… | aerospace |

Alarming video demonstrates a motor of a United Airlines plane appearing to savagely shake all over while the vehicle flies through the sky. As per the individual who posted it, the issue happened midflight.
The recording was presented on Twitter with the inscription, “This morning at #DIA flight UA293. Engine malfunctioned mid-flight.” The video, supposedly taped on an early morning departure from Denver to Orlando, seems to show one of the motors shaking here and there.
Joined Airlines affirmed to Fox News that the flight had to come back to Denver International Airport because of a mechanical issue with one of the motors.
On Twitter, the first notice gave an update, clarifying that they were “holding back to load up a NEW plane.”
They likewise shared pictures of messages they got from United Airlines. As indicated by the tweet, the main message read, “We know returning to the airport wasn’t part of your plans today, so we greatly appreciate you hanging in there! Our maintenance team needs to address a technical issue with an engine on your plane before we depart again. We’re doing our best to get you on your way as soon as possible.”
Another picture demonstrates a second message that says, “Our maintenance team needs more time than we thought to finish their work. To get you on your way, we assigned your flight a new plane arriving shortly from Los Angeles. Once we’ve finished getting the cabin ready, we’ll begin boarding at Gate B47. Delays are very frustrating and we greatly appreciate your patience!”
In an announcement gotten by Fox News, a representative for United Airlines stated, “United flight 293 from Denver to Orlando returned to the airport due to a mechanical issue with one of the engines. The flight landed safely and taxied to a gate where customers deplaned normally. Customers have departed on a different aircraft to Orlando.” | aerospace |

The dark object was spotted during footage taken by the Moon Live Stream, and it has excited UFO investigators as it is not the first time such a sighting has happened.
Sceptics dismiss these objects as satellites placed into orbit by space agencies on Earth.
Other suggestions are they could even be weather balloons that appear to be much closer to the moon on the live stream than they actually are.
But paranormal investigators say they can rule these explanations out.
Scott C Waring, editor of ufosightingsdaily.com, said: “As luck would have it, this UFO was caught on live stream when they were checking out the moon.
“It was caught by SpaceImaging Keith of Youtube.
“The UFO is not a satellite, which would travel in a straight line. This UFO zig zags as it moves forward. It is not a balloon, because a balloon does not zig zag as it travels.”
He is convinced it can only be an intelligently flown alien space craft, or some other top-secret Earth-based project.
This is because he claims there have been a number of other previous similar sightings, including one he claims could have been an enormous mothership.
He added: “Dark disks have been seen traveling over the moon many times before. This is not the first, nor will it be the last.
“The most memorable dark disk was a UFO that measured over five miles across and was caught by an amateur Italian astronomer while cleaning his optics on his telescope and had it on record at the time.”
The latest object was seen on the live stream on August 10 this year.

Finally, after much-delay, the ambitious Artemis mission to put humans back onto the moon has begun. On November 16, the Artemis I mission took off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, lighting up the sky as it blasted off on NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft. This uncrewed mission’s sole purpose is to lay the foundation for future Artemis missions and, extending even further, Mars missions. The 42-day celestial journey of Orion will encompass the testing of Orion’s systems as the spacecraft navigates, communicates, and operates in a deep space environment.
Artemis I will also be the first step towards the success of a crewed Artemis II mission, scheduled for 2024, and future lunar exploration projects, including the establishment of Gateway. In preparation for crewed expeditions to space and moon, the possible health risks posed by cosmic radiation on humans will have to be dealt with.
While Earth’s magnetic field shields us and our planet from space radiation, it may be a different ball game altogether when humans venture out into space and become exposed to cosmic radiation for long durations. A team of Duke University bioengineers partnered with National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) in a project to study the space radiation effects as part of the Artemis I mission. As such, the crew module of Orion spacecraft carries three mannequins, or manikins (technical term for research mannequins), during its first Artemis mission.
Named Zohar, Helga, and Commander Moonikin Campos, each manikin will represent the upper human anatomy and be fitted with high-tech technology, including sensors to measure the accumulated radiation in different parts of the body. Commander Moonikin Campos will be dressed up in the bright orange Orion Crew Survival System (OCSS) spacesuit and sensors to assess acceleration and vibration, and radiation. On the other hand, Helga and Zohra are covered with more than a thousand radiation sensors to gather internal radiation readings for precise organ locations. While Helga and Zohar can both be considered twins, Zohar will be fitted with a radiation protection vest whereas Helga will not be covered with the protective shield.
The Artemis mission may not be humankind’s first trip to the moon, but it is the first lunar expedition to take people of colour and women to space. And when it comes to space radiation, women can be affected more in certain organs, such as the breasts. Thus, both Helga and Zohar have been designed to emulate the female anatomy.
Duke University’s Center for Virtual Imaging Trials (CVIT) Director Ehsan Samei adds, “When we are exposed to radiation, the damage is deposited directly into the organs—and different organs have different levels of radiosensitivity. For example, breast tissue tends to be more radiosensitive, while muscles are not as radiosensitive. The brain is less radiosensitive than the heart. That’s why it is essential for the study to keep track of radiation and where in the body it is deposited.”
Essentially, space is deadly and a lot of risks come with sending astronauts to space. But in our mission to navigate the lunar landscape and step foot on Martian soil, we have to tackle health and safety, on top of other daunting challenges. There is much to be studied and understood about cosmic radiation and its interactions with the human body if we want to continue the exploration of space in a safe manner. | aerospace |

Flying an aircraft demands precision and adherence to various regulations, especially concerning altimeter setting procedures. These procedures are crucial for maintaining accurate altitude readings and ensuring safe flight operations. Let’s delve into the specific altimeter setting procedures outlined for both the altimeter setting region and the standard pressure region.
Altimeter Setting Region
In the altimeter setting region, defined dimensions below 18,000 feet ASL, pilots must adhere to specific altimeter setting procedures throughout different stages of flight.
Before takeoff, pilots are required to set the aircraft altimeter to the current altimeter setting of the aerodrome. If unavailable, setting it to the aerodrome’s elevation is necessary.
During flight, the altimeter should be set to the current altimeter setting of the nearest station along the route of flight. If stations are separated by more than 150 NM, the setting of a station near the route should be used.
Approaching the intended landing aerodrome requires setting the altimeter to the current aerodrome altimeter setting, if available.
Standard Pressure Region
Above 18,000 feet ASL and in low-level airspace outside the lateral limit of the altimeter setting region, the standard pressure region is in effect, with distinct flight procedures.
Operating an aircraft within the standard pressure region mandates setting the altimeter to standard pressure: 29.92 inches of mercury or 1013.2 mbs.
Before takeoff, pilots set the altimeter to the current altimeter setting of the aerodrome or, if unavailable, to the aerodrome’s elevation. Upon reaching the planned cruising flight level, it should be set to standard pressure.
Descending for landing requires setting the altimeter to the current altimeter setting of the intended landing aerodrome, if available. Adjustments are made based on specific procedures during holding or descent from cruising flight levels above FL 180.
Transitioning between regions requires careful consideration of altimeter settings as specified in CAR 602.37. Pilots must make altimeter setting changes while within the standard pressure region before entering or after leaving the altimeter setting region.
In conclusion, adherence to altimeter setting procedures is paramount for safe flight operations. Pilots must familiarize themselves with these regulations to ensure precision and accuracy in altitude readings throughout all phases of flight.
Publications with more information about altimeter settings
For further comprehensive information regarding altimeter setting procedures and flight regulations, pilots are encouraged to refer to CARs 602.35 and CARs 602.36. Additionally, valuable insights can be found in the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) section RAC—Rules Of The Air And Air Traffic Services 2.10. These resources offer detailed guidelines and essential knowledge to ensure adherence to altimeter setting protocols and safe flight operations in various airspace regions.

In November 2010 ITR was awarded $5 million under the federal government’s priority program – the Australian Space Research Program (ASRP). Matched with an investment from partners, including COM DEV Canada (leading manufacturer of space hardware), South Australian company SAGE Automation, as well as DSTO, CSIRO and Australian Institute for Marine Science, the project will be worth more than $12 million over 2.5 years.
Sensor data gathering is critical for Australia’s environment, resource and
security issues, and our vast land and marine territories are best served from
space. This project will deliver a spaceready communications payload and
complete ground system for demonstration in marine monitoring, Defence sensor monitoring and industrial automation scenarios.
The concept of a cost-effective Space- Based National Wireless Sensor Network is to address Australia’s needs for ecosystem management, monitoring of climate change, Defence and National security, and support of industries such as mining and agriculture. This delivers clear National benefit in alignment with Australia’s research priorities.
Many remote sensors and devices have modest data rate needs and do not require broadband real-time communications. This market is not well served by existing satellite services, which are either too expensive, do not provide suitable data capabilities, or are receive only. While Australia makes use of Argos and various other commercial systems, equipment/ service cost and suitability has greatly limited utilisation. Existing systems are under foreign control, limiting applicability for Defence and National security.
Microsatellites can provide cost effective data retrieval enabling adoption and
widespread deployment of two-way communications to large numbers of remote sensors and devices beyond the range of terrestrial communications.
This project will deliver a complete architecture for remote sensor data
gathering via Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, emphasising key technology
enablers, and addressing Australian requirements to be developed in
collaboration with end users.
Deliverables include space-ready hardware/software for an innovative software defined radio, ground station facility, and experimental ground terminals interfacing to wireless sensor networks.
Benefits of the proposed software defined radio payload include in-flight
reconfiguration for each orbit, supporting multi-service and dual-use missions;
in-orbit upgrade; on-board processing enabling advanced sensor and control
applications; wide range of data service options enabling a broad user base;
flexibility to accommodate new services post launch.
A functional demonstration, targeting scenarios of National priority, will use an
aircraft as a LEO surrogate. Sensor data will be relayed via the aircraft and ground station to an end user. Command and control messages will also be sent to devices. This project provides a testbed for dual-use operation. Subsequent stages (beyond the scope of the ASRP funding) could deliver on-orbit operations by 2013, and several achievable pathways to launch have been identified. In support, the project will deliver new international partnerships and a phase A study defining subsequent mission phases up to launch and on-orbit operation.
National benefit is delivered by designing and demonstrating a system for Australian needs, engaging with industry and government end users including Defence, CSIRO, Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS), Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) and Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). The project establishes a value creation chain consisting of value added service providers, space component suppliers, and ground equipment suppliers and integrators.The project builds significant, persistent Australian space capability, generating intellectual property and enabling
technologies. These outcomes offer significant near-term commercialisation
prospects, inserting Australia into the global space supply chain, and builds
capability in rigorous space engineering processes. The project promotes an
ongoing program of internationally significant space research and development
in Australia, nurturing the next generation of experts in internationally recognised areas of strength: satellite communications and sensor networks.

The Aircraft Engine market was valued at USD 86.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD 186.1 billion by 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2 % during the forecast period, 2022–2032. The market's growth is attributed to the advancement of a proficient aircraft engine.
An aircraft engine is a type of propulsion system used to power aircraft. There are different types of aircraft engines, but the most common ones are jet engines and piston engines.
Jet engines work by taking in air, compressing it, and then mixing it with fuel to create a high-temperature combustion process. This generates a high-speed exhaust flow that produces thrust, which propels the aircraft forward. Jet engines are commonly used in commercial airliners, military aircraft, and some business jets.
Piston engines, on the other hand, work by converting fuel into energy through a combustion process that drives a reciprocating motion of pistons. This motion is then converted into rotational motion, which drives the propeller. Piston engines are commonly used in smaller aircraft such as general aviation planes.
Aircraft engines are complex machines that require regular maintenance and inspection to ensure their safe and efficient operation. They are also subject to strict regulations and safety standards to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

The NSW Police Force commenced aviation operations on 19 July 1946 using an ex Royal Australian Air Force Avro Anson fixed wing aircraft. This aircraft was operated in all parts of the State and was used primarily for the transport of specialist squads. The aircraft was piloted by members of the NSW Police Force who had previously served in the military.
As the size of the NSW Police Force increased, detectives and scientific police were stationed at larger country centres and the need to transport these specialists from Sydney diminished. For this and other economical reasons, aviation support was disbanded on 31 August 1950.
In 1979, due to an alarming increase in armed hold ups, the State Government decided to initiate aviation support. Overseas studies had demonstrated that aircraft were a valuable resource to policing strategies.
Australia’s first Police helicopter arrived on 7 May 1979 when the NSW Police Force took delivery of a Bell 206 Jet Ranger III helicopter. Polair 1 was placed into immediate service to address the armed hold up problem. The success of this initiative led to the subsequent purchase and delivery of a further two Jet Ranger helicopters over the next 19 months, Polair 2 and Polair 3. The original Polair 1 is now on display at the Aviation Support Branch base at Bankstown Airport.
Over the ensuring years the role of police aviation expanded and on 18 August 1997, the NSW Police took delivery of a Eurocopter Squirrel Helicopter (AS-355N). This particular twin engine helicopter was designed in conjunction with French military forces for special low level operations. This aircraft type has a larger load carrying capacity than the Jet Ranger helicopters used by the Aviation Support Branch.
Today the NSW Police Force has 6 Polair aircraft - 5 helicopters and 1 fixed wing. The aircraft are fitted with a mixture of hi-tech thermal imagining equipment, on board computers, real time video feeds to ground stations, search lights and rescue winches.
In 2011 Polair 2 was deployed to Perth, Western Australia to provide support to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHoGM) and in the process flew across the Nullarbor Plain twice!
The Aviation Support Branch provides a range of services including targeting serious, major and organised crime and counter terrorism matters, crime operations, search and rescue, emergencies and the investigation of aviation fatalities across New South Wales.

It began operation in 1992 and is home to around 80 aircraft. One of Australia’s largest recreational flying clubs, the facility has 150 members, 50% of whom are from outside the Geelong region.
A Business Development Plan for the Airport, developed with support from the state government, has identified that Lethbridge Airport would make an ideal light aircraft aviation hub.
In 2011, the Lethbridge Airport site was rezoned to Special use Zone (SUZ3) allowing it to become an operational airport for the use of light aircraft and associated activities.
Over the last five years the airport has seen rapid expansion, with Golden Plains Shire Council auspicing $1.25 million from the state and federal governments to build new infrastructure, including:
- a new sealed runway and hardstand area
- taxiway and apron upgrades, and
- installation of self-service fuel infrastructure.
The Airport site is being subdivided over a number of stages, with all 17 lots of stage one now sold. Eleven hangars have already been constructed, and the subdivision allows for a further 60 lots to be released in future stages. Total infrastructure investment for the completed stages is estimated at $39 million.
The Airport expansion is creating opportunities for commercial operations such as flying schools, aircraft maintenance and sale, agricultural spraying and tourism operators operating joy flights.
As well as that, the new fuel infrastructure has seen Lethbridge Airport become an important regional link for emergency services. The CFA, Ambulance Victoria and Victoria Police regularly use the airport as well as the self-service re-fuelling station, and the Airport is now a key asset in the regions firefighting efforts.
The next step in the airport’s development is the creation of a strategic precinct master plan, which will include the development of a terminal building and café, office space, training rooms and accommodation.
The Airport expansion will create significant investment and jobs in the G21 region, with the $39 million construction creating 250 jobs during construction, 91 of which will be direct, and 37 direct ongoing jobs after construction, 28 of which will be direct. It will also diversify the Golden Plains Shire’s predominantly agricultural economy, and complement Ballarat and Avalon airports.
What is required?
A government commitment of:
- $3.5 million to construct a multi-purpose terminal building,
- $3 million to seal the second runway and taxiway connections,
- $500,000 for runway lighting, including a full RNAV Instrument Flight Rules navigations system. | aerospace |
https://www.spadtothebone.net/SPAD/Derringer/Build/build.html | 2021-04-12T00:27:08 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618038065903.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20210411233715-20210412023715-00367.warc.gz | 0.895109 | 2,340 | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-17__0__72894946 | en | The Derringer (like the Derelict) also does not contain any new secrets or design breakthroughs, in fact it's basically a scaled down version of the Derelict, and it is extremely simple to construct like all it's other SPAD
family members. We have discovered that our local Pay-Less Cashways carries a Canadian brand of PVC gutter pipe that has a thinner wall & also has a smaller O.D. measurement (2 3/8"), and it is much lighter than
American made gutter pipe (about half the weight!). We have also discovered that our local Coroplast® supplier can special order 2 MIL Coroplast®, which is half the thickness, and almost half the weight of the 4 MIL
we have been using. The Derringer uses the 2 MIL Coroplast® for the wing, and 4 mil for the tail and ailerons. The 2 MIL Coroplast® is flexible enough to bend perfectly over the wing spar, without the need for
any upper airfoil folds! The prototype was equipped with an O.S. FP .15 (slightly modified), a 270 mah battery pack and three Hitec® HS-81 servos - it weighed in at just 1 lb 12 oz! This plane is most certainly
geared towards experienced builders and flyers, so these instructions will be right to the point. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to post them on our SPAD message board .
1) Starting with a 20" piece of Gutter pipe, measure, mark, and cut out the radio access hole, and rear cut out as shown on the fuselage drawing. A Dremel® with a cutting wheel works best for this. There in NO down or
right thrust on the Derringer. If you are using full size radio gear - see the note below, if not, procede to step 2.
NOTE: If you are planning on using full size radio gear, we highly recommend installing
all of the radio gear, engine and fuel tank in the fuselage first (before drilling the wing hold down dowel holes). Then take the wing and tape it to the fuselage - sliding it fore and aft as necessary - until the correct
CG position is achieved. Mark the fuselage where the leading and trailing edges are on the fuselage. Then mark and drill for the dowel holes - keeping them 1/2" in front of the leading edge mark and a 1/2"
aft of the trailing edge mark you made earlier. If you build the Derelict per plans, and you use full size gear, you will have an extremely tail heavy airplane that you may not be able to balance correctly!
Drill for, and install the 4 1/2" long x 3/16" dia. wing hold down dowels as shown. Fuel proof the hold down dowels with CA.
NOTE: Install the wing hold down dowels as close to the upper fuselage gutter pipe
radius as possible to assure proper fuel tank clearance!
3) With the rear fuselage cut out scrap, fabricate 4 control horns, two wing rubber band protectors, one V-tail support, and two small aileron servo
mounting pieces (size will be determined by the servo you use).
4) The firewall is fabricated from 1/2" plywood cut to the inside diameter of the gutter pipe, and is mounted flush with the forward edge of the
fuselage with four #6 x 1/2" self tapping screws.
5) Drill a small hole in the rear left side lip of the fuselage for combat streamer attachment!
1) Cut the V-tail from 4 MIL
Coroplast® as shown on the tail drawing, with the corrugations running spanwise.
2) Hinge the elevators by cutting away the bottom side of the hinge line corrugation.
3) Using a straight edge, and small
blunt tipped item (such as a #1 phillips screwdriver) score the inside radius of the two fold lines, and bend the V-tails over the edge of a table.
4) Mark the PVC V-tail support bend locations. Using a propane torch
(even a cigarette lighter will work) heat up the PVC, and bend each side to a 45° angle. Bending over a block of wood or table edge will assure a nice crisp bend.
5) Using a propane torch "flame" the tail and
V-tail support. Using medium CA, glue the V-tail support in place as shown in the drawing.
6) The tail is attached to the fuselage using two #6 x 1/2" self tapping screws. Make sure the pilot holes you drill in the
fuselage are small enough to allow good screw grip!
NOTE: The location of the V-tail support, and the tail mounting screws is not critical, as long as the support is roughly centered in the "meat" of the tail,
and the mounting screws are near the outer edge of the fuselage. What is critical is getting the tail mounted square! Also, the outward pressure of the 4 MIL Coroplast® on the V-tail support may enlarge your V-tail angle.
This is acceptable up to 120° total angle, and will even give your elevators more authority!
1) The wing is fabricated from a 36" x 19" piece of 2 MIL Coroplast®, with the corrugations
2) The ailerons are fabricated from 4 MIL Coroplast® with the corrugations running spanwise. Hinge as shown in the drawing. A 4" piece of 4 MIL scrap is used as a filler between the ailerons.
3) Mark the wing leading edge fold line, and spar glue line. Using a straight edge and small blunt tipped object, score the inner radius of the leading edge fold line, and bend over the edge of a table.
Flame all plastic parts with a propane torch before gluing! Medium CA is used for all wing construction. USE SMALL 1/8" DROPS EVERY INCH OR SO. A BEAD OF GLUE MAY NOT WORK! USING TOO MUCH GLUE IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE
4) Cut down a yardstick to 7/8" wide, then glue the cutdown yardstick to the spar glue line.
5) Test bend the wing top panel over the spar. Here is where things can get tricky, and it's nice to have 5
hands or a helper! The bottom wing panel should remain flat, and the top panel trailing edge must be marked and trimmed flush with the bottom panel trailing edge. Once accomplished, unfold the wing, and glue the ailerons and
filler piece to the bottom wing panel.
6) Fold and glue the top panel to the spar and trailing edge. A wood 2 x 4 works great for holding the trailing edge down! Kraut has found that holding the leading edge down
with a piece of angle iron while glueing also works great!
NOTE: By nature, the leading edge of your finished wing may be slightly raised, and your lower wing may be slightly undercambered towards the rear. This is
acceptable, and is what gives this airplane such great performance!
7) Glue the PVC rubber band protectors to the leading and trailing edge as shown on the overview drawing.
Engine and Fuel Tank:
fuel tank is wrapped in foam for a snug fit, and the engine and engine mount are mounted conventionally. Make sure the throttle pushrod housing doesn't chafe directly on the fuel tank (we've learned this one the hard way!). We
have also learned that mounting the engine at 45° (muffler down) not only helps keep goop off your plane, but helps fuel draw during high G maneuvers!
NOTE: Your engine and gas tank should
already be mounted at this point. USE YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT PLACEMENT TO ACHIEVE PROPER CG. Your Derringer MUST balance level to slightly nose heavy at the wing spar. A tail heavy condition is not acceptable, and is VERY unsafe!
1) Glue the elevator and aileron control horns in place. Be sure to take into account the pushrod angles on the ailerons. FLAMING OF THE HORNS AND CONTROL SURFACES PRIOR TO GLUEING IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
2) Cut a
hole in the wing just aft of the spar for a snug aileron servo fit. Flame and glue the two PVC aileron servo mounts to the wing. Cut a small hole in the bottom of the wing for the servo lead. Drill for, and mount the aileron
servo using servo screws.
3) Mount the elevator servo by cutting a hole in the rear fuselage to accept the servo, and secure using servo screws.
4) Secure the throttle servo to the inside of the fuselage using
two sided foam mounting tape. For extra security, you may wish to drill a hole on each side of the servo in the fuselage, and secure with a zip-tie.
5) The battery and receiver are wrapped in foam for a snug fit. We
have also used two sided foam mounting tape or Velcro® for this. As this is a combat plane, we recommend filling all voids inside the fuselage with foam to protect your equipment. We also recommend drilling holes in
the fuselage on each side of the battery, and further securing
it in place with a zip-tie!
6) Switch mounting and antenna routing are a matter of personal preference. A section of plastic tubing glued to the inside
of the fuselage makes a great antenna guide, and the switch on the prototype is mounted on top of the fuselage near the elevator servo.
7) Set your control surface throws as follows: set ailerons & elevators -
1/2" to 3/4" up & down (1" to 1 1/2" total).
NOTE: When rigging your ailerons, ensure that the bottom of the ailerons are parallel to the top of the fuselage! Do not allow then to droop
(like flaps)! If your ailerons droop, they will drastically affect pitch trim!
Flying your Derringer:
1) Follow ALL AMA safety codes!
2) Attach your wing with at least 8 #64 rubber bands
3) Make sure your prop is clocked to stop horizontal, and that your throttle is rigged to shut the engine off for landing.
4) Have some one else hand launch your plane until you have it trimmed out properly. IF YOU
ARE NOT AN EXPERIENCED PILOT, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY YOUR DERRINGER BY YOURSELF - PLEASE FIND SOMEONE EXPERIENCED TO HELP YOU!
5) Fuel up and go kick some serious butt!
As always, send pictures if you would like
to show off your plane on the SPAD gallery! And if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to post them on our SPAD message board ! | aerospace |

https://blog.epectec.com/the-influence-of-flexible-heaters-on-the-aerospace-industry | 2023-12-03T18:14:23 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100508.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20231203161435-20231203191435-00590.warc.gz | 0.926572 | 1,649 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__107340102 | en | A flexible heater typically consists of a heating element, such as a thin film of metal, sandwiched between two layers of flexible insulating material. The heating element is connected to electrical power, and when the power is turned on, the heating element generates heat. The heat is transferred to the surface that the flexible heater is in contact with, providing a localized heating effect.
The type of heating element used in a flexible heater can vary, but common options include resistive wire, etched foil, and thin-film polymer. The insulating material helps to prevent heat loss and electrical shorting and can also provide physical protection for the heating element.
Flexible heaters can be designed to operate at a specific temperature, using temperature sensors and control circuitry, or can be operated in a simple on/off manner. The flexibility and conformability of flexible heaters make them well-suited for applications where heating is required on irregular or curved surfaces, and where a thin, lightweight heating solution is desired.
The flexibility of these heaters allows for easy installation on irregular or curved surfaces, making them suitable for a wide range of heating requirements. This is extremely important when it comes to the aerospace industry, where components that help operate the equipment are small and compact with little room for anything bigger than a flexible heater to handle.
Usage and Benefits
For the aerospace industry, instrument panels, spacecraft, and satellites experience unique environmental challenges where heating components using convection methods is not always possible. Flexible heaters have become the ideal solution for the aerospace industry for a variety of reasons.
Versatile polyimide heaters for aerospace applications.
They provide efficient and reliable performance in a variety of aerospace applications and can be used for several purposes such as:
- Anti-icing and de-icing of wings, fuselage, engines, and other components to prevent ice build-up and ensure safe operation in cold weather conditions.
- Temperature control of avionics, instruments, and other sensitive electronics to maintain proper functioning and prevent overheating or failure.
- Heating of fuel and oil lines to prevent viscosity changes and ensure proper flow, especially in high-altitude flights.
- Preheating engines, turbines, and other components prior to starting to reduce stress on the components and improve reliability.
Speaking solely on aircraft, flexible heaters are used on the engine and oil sumps to keep the fluids warm during cold temperatures to prevent thickening, on windshields and windows to prevent icing and improve visibility, on cockpit controls to keep critical instruments and controls functioning in cold temperatures, in environmental control systems in order to regulate the temperature and prevent icing of air ducts and ventilation systems, and for fuel and hydraulic lines so they can prevent freezing and maintain fluid flow.
Flexible Heaters for Space Applications
In space applications, flexible heaters are used to maintain temperature control in various components and systems, such as electronic equipment, sensors, and instruments. They are also used to maintain the temperature of fluid lines, battery packs, and other critical components. By using flexible heaters, engineers can ensure that critical components in a spacecraft or other space-based equipment operate within their specified temperature ranges, even in the extreme conditions of space.
- Durability: Flexible heaters are made from durable materials that can withstand harsh conditions and extreme temperatures encountered in space.
- Lightweight: Flexible heaters are lightweight and compact, making them ideal for use in space where weight and volume are major considerations.
- Ease of installation: Flexible heaters can be easily installed in tight spaces and around obstacles, making them ideal for use in spacecraft where access may be limited.
- Energy efficiency: Flexible heaters can be designed to operate at high temperatures with low power consumption, making them energy efficient and ideal for use in space where power is limited.
- Low outgassing: Refers to the release of gases from materials into the surrounding environment, typically vacuum which can occur due to a variety of factors, including exposure to heat and pressure changes. Polyimide flexible heater materials that have low outgassing properties are highly desired for use in space because they emit fewer gases into the surrounding environment, reducing the risk of contamination or interference with sensitive equipment.
Flexible heaters offer several advantages for use in the aerospace industry due to several reasons, such as being thin and lightweight. This makes them ideal for aerospace applications where weight is a critical factor. In regard to conformability, flexible heaters can conform to complex shapes and curves, allowing for easy integration into aerospace systems and components. Flexible heaters are also easy to install, as they can be cut to size and shape, and are often self-adhesive, allowing for quick and simple installation.
Given their versatility, flexible heaters can be used for anti-icing, temperature control, and engine preheating. Their energy efficiency helps to provide localized heating, reducing energy waste compared to other heating methods. In terms of safety and durability, flexible heaters are designed to be safe and reliable, with over-temperature protection and high-temperature insulation to prevent fire hazards. They are typically made with rugged, high-temperature materials, making them durable and suitable for harsh aerospace environments.
Types of Flexible Heaters
Note that in the aerospace industry, two types of flexible heaters are commonly used: silicone rubber heaters and polyimide film heaters. Silicone rubber heaters are made by embedding heating elements in a flexible silicone rubber material, which provides good thermal conductivity, durability, and flexibility. They are used in a variety of applications in aerospace due to their resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, and chemical exposure.
Polyimide film heaters consist of a thin, flexible polyimide film with heating elements etched on one side. They are known for their fast-heating capability, high efficiency, and flexibility, making them ideal for use in aerospace for heating small or complex shapes.
When selecting the size of flexible heaters for aerospace applications, several factors should be considered, including the size and shape of the surface to be heated, the heating power required for the application, the voltage and current requirements of the heating system, and the environmental conditions and temperature range the heater will be exposed to.
Polyimide/Kapton® Flexible Heaters
The design of a polyimide/Kapton® heater offers dimensional stability, superior tensile strength, and overall improved resilience. Polyimide is also resistant to most chemicals. Based on the material to heat (steel, aluminum, water, oil, plastic, air, etc.), custom-designed and manufactured polyimide flexible heaters offer a low profile and rugged design while maintaining safety by being both abrasion and acid-resistant.
From airplane instrument panels to communication equipment in unmanned spacecraft, these components and machines sometimes require the use of flexible heaters to keep parts from freezing in sub-zero temperatures, remove moisture from semiconductors and circuits, or provide thermal heat transfer solutions. Aerospace manufacturers may want to select Kapton® flexible heaters when designing and manufacturing products and equipment because their features include:
- Lightweight and Thin
- Low Outgassing Characteristics
- Superior Thermal Heat Transfer in Vacuum Environments
- De-icing and Defogging Applications
- Won't Impede Moving Parts
- Radiation, Oil, and Chemical Resistance
Anywhere in the aerospace industry that operates with tight spaces and demanding conditions should consider the benefits of a polyimide/Kapton® heater.
Flexible heaters are an essential component of the aerospace industry, providing convenient and efficient heating solutions, and they are a versatile and cost-effective alternative to other heating methods. They are preferred in the aerospace industry due to their light weight, thin profile, and ability to conform to complex shapes, making them easy to integrate into aerospace systems and components. It is important to work with an experienced manufacturer such as Epec to ensure that the flexible heater selected is appropriate for the specific aerospace application and meets the required specifications and standards. | aerospace |

The Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopter is a single engine with a single blade, specializing in ground attack manufactured by Bell Helicopter. This model shares a common engine, transmission and rotor system with the older UH-1 Iroquois. The HA-1 is also referred to as the HueyCobra or Cobra. The AH-1 was the backbone of the fleet of US Army attack helicopters, but was replaced by the AH-64 Apache. Updated versions continue to fly with several other countries. The AH-1 version with two engines remain in service with the USMC (Marines Americans) as the main helicopter service attack. Lately some surplus AH-1 helicopters were converted to fight forest fires.
This 1/72 plastic model, from Special Hobby, represents the Bell AH-1G Cobra "Over Vietnam with M-35 Gun System", with decals for the US Army.

The Power of Possibilities offers a unique, visual, strategic planning tool that will assist you in clarifying your business goals and strategies in a relaxed, engaging, yet productive way.
The management, leadership, or supervisory team gathers for two three-hour sessions. During those sessions the facilitator leads them through a strategic planning process using the metaphor of a space journey. With a large “map” taped to the wall, the facilitator, who serves as the “navigator,” takes the team through a ten-step “countdown to blast-off.”
Each team member is a member of the crew with a specific role during the planning session. For example, the CE0, manager or supervisor fills the role of pilot; a team member gifted at seeing barriers or obstacles serves as the security officer, and watches out for potential asteroids; another member effective at listening and summarizing takes the part of the communication officer.
- identifies the destination star (goal)
- calculates their ship’s gravitational pull (what’s holding it back)
- fuels the rocket ship (acknowledges team members’ strengths)
- charts the journey (designates six intermediate goals and target dates for each)
- stops at the space station to pick up supplies (names the people, places and things needed to make the journey successful)
- prepares for the asteroid field (anticipates barriers and determines how to meet each one).
Finally, a detailed navigational strategy is prepared (action plan) which will enable the crew to reach each intermediate goal at the designated time.
If desired, the facilitator (navigator) can return several times throughout the year to help the crew assess its progress toward the year’s destination and help make any necessary “course corrections.” | aerospace |

Installed 01 Feb 2006. Latest update 28 Jul 2016.
Canadian Airborne Cell Phone Tests
In 2003, Project Achilles researchers performed low altitude cell phone tests in private aircraft in the London, Ontario area of Canada. They found limited communications above 2,000 feet AGL (above ground level) and essentially no communications at 8000 feet AGL and above. The planes used in these tests had cruising speeds of 138 and 127 knots.
The following two diagrams are used to show (in part) why ordinary cell phones fail to work at altitudes at and above 8000 feet AGL above heavily populated urban areas.
The first diagram shows a "free-space" three dimensional equal-power surface for a four-element dipole vertical array, which is similar to many antennas used for cellular communications. The right hand side of the drawing is a cut-away version showing the pattern's internal lobe structure.
Antenna patterns for a point-source (orange circle) and a single dipole (green back-to-back ellipsoids) are also shown on the drawing. There aren't really any point source antennas but they serve as theoretical starting points for gain considerations. Antenna gains, with respect to the isotropic point-source, are given in dbi (decibels isotropic). For the single dipole and the four-dipole array the antennas are polarized vertically.
This antenna pattern, and the following drawing based on it, are based on a spacing of 3/4 wavelengths between centers of adjacent radiating elements.
This second diagram corresponds to the cut-away view above and shows where most of the transmit power and receive sensitivity are located for a typical, present day, cell phone tower.
Idealized 1900 MHz CDMA Coverage for an Urban Cellular Tower
The outer edge of the ground hugging lobe (shown in black) represents 5 bars of indicated received signal strength for a cell phone. Cell phones located on the ground or up to 2,000 feet or so should give good service. Above that altitude things can get shaky. (Caution! The "bars" information in this diagram may be too generous. If so, the usable "on station" time, discussed in the next paragraph, will be reduced.)
Consider a plane (red circle) flying at 120 knots at 8,000 feet above ground level (AGL), more or less toward the cell tower. A cell phone at the location shown should display no bars. At the plane's speed and altitude it would take about 26 seconds for it to transit the one-mile-thick radiation cone/lobe, as shown. That might allow enough time for the cell phone to be acquired by the cell tower, but then the usable signal disappears in the null between cones/lobes. Other flight paths can yield longer lobe transit times but for planes moving in straight lines, at similar altitudes, those times will be fleeting.
Many cellular tower antenna patterns can be tilted down by as much as 15 degrees to better serve selected ground users and in some cases to reduce background noise in adjacent cells. If that is done then signals at altitude are even weaker.
Rural area highway cellular towers are typically spaced from five to ten miles apart. To provide coverage at these longer ranges, cell towers may use, say, four times the transmit power as their urban counterparts and employ negligible down-tilts. With these factors in mind, there may be modest increases in workable altitudes for cell phones in rural areas, provided the airborne units are in the vicinity of these towers. (And outside United States air space!)
A Microsoft QuickBASIC program, which models antenna patterns similar to those
produced by 1900 MHz CDMA cell phone towers is available on this web-site at
U.S. Prohibition of Cell Phone calls While Airborne
''Cellular telephones installed in or carried aboard airplanes, balloons or any other type of aircraft must not be operated while such aircraft are airborne (not touching the ground). When any aircraft leaves the ground, all cellular telephones on board that aircraft must be turned off. The following notice must be posted on or near each cellular telephone installed in any aircraft: ''The use of cellular telephones while this aircaft is airborne is prohibited by FCC rules, and the violation of this rule could result in suspension of service and/or a fine. The use of cellular telephones while this aircraft is on the ground is subject to FAA regulations.''
The following digram shows where Airfone ground radio sites were located in the northeastern USA in 1991. Two typical coverage areas, with estimated radii of 128 miles, are represented by the red circles.
Airfone ground Site locations in Northeast USA in 1991
Verizon acquired Airfone from GTE in 2000.
On June 23, 2006, Verizon Communications, Airfone's parent company, announced that they would be discontinuing their Airfone service on all commercial flights by the end of 2006. Verizon will continue to provide Airfone service on 3,400 private and government aircraft. Source: Wikipedia. (Use search term Airfone.)
Doppler Induced Cellular Service Blocking
Based on two take-off-roll tests (aircraft still on the ground) done by the author, it appears that for CDMA cell phones (1900 MHz), Doppler induced loss-of-service (no bars) occurs at relative speeds (aircraft to cell tower) of 150 kts (nautical miles per hour) and greater. At a speed of 150 kts, toward or away from a given cell tower, the Doppler shift for 1900 MHz signals is roughly 500 Hertz (cycles per second). The author notes that in cell phone system simulations, a Doppler offset of 480 Hertz is typically employed. Robust systems can apparently handle that amount of Doppler shift.
Since Airfone frequencies (849-851 MHz and 894-895 MHz) are about one half of that for 1900 MHz CDMA cell phones, the Airfone equipped aircraft speed, relative to a given Airfone ground station, could be on the order of 300 kts before Doppler blocking sets in.
The following diagram illustrates Doppler shift blockage of cellular signals for a mobile cell phone in an aircraft which is flying at a speed of 500 kts at an altitude of 1,000 feet. The grey area represents the region of no service (slant range speeds equal to or greater than 150 kts). Cell tower "usability" times are shown as arrows in the usable signal footprint. The shorter the times, the more problematic the chances are for actual communications to occur. [Added 12 Feb 2006. Modified 14 Feb 2006.]
Ground motion added 02 Aug 2007. (If the shaded squares
move in surges, then your internet pipe is probably clogged.)
The next diagram shows the cell phone footprint for an aircraft at 1000 feet AGL, as before, but traveling at a groundspeed of 250 kts. This situation is fairly representative of airliners making their final approaches for landings. It can be seen that there should be ample opportunity for cell phone communications using cellular towers located two to five miles to either side of the aircraft. [Added 13 Feb 2006.]

- Electrical components must meet strict regulations and be regularly checked.
- Cabin components such as seats, bins, windows, and lighting must be inspected and replaced.
- Avionics equipment helps pilots navigate safely with up-to-date software and hardware.
- Aircraft maintenance is essential to keep planes running optimally; this includes inspections, repairs, preventive care, and pilot training.
The aviation industry is essential today, providing a crucial means of transportation for people and goods. It is estimated that over 65 million passengers are carried daily, with around 3 billion people traveling by air annually. Furthermore, the worldwide freight transport market is valued at over USD 1 trillion annually.
Aviation plays a significant role in international business, with an estimated value of up to USD 2.2 trillion to global GDP and over 65 million jobs directly supported by the industry. It contributes significantly to countries’ economies, with China and the United States being two of its biggest markets, generating more than 30% of global aviation revenue.
The aviation industry also provides vast benefits in terms of convenience – it enables travelers to reach their destination faster than ever before compared to other means of transportation. This has become particularly important during times like these when travel restrictions have been imposed due to the pandemic; tourism-dependent economies will be significantly boosted once these restrictions are lifted, and air travel resumes as usual.
Because of the aviation industry’s stability, you will find many business opportunities for those interested in pursuing it. If you are unable to start an airline company yourself, here are a few small ventures you can follow:
Aircraft maintenance is essential to ensure safety and efficiency in the aviation industry. The parts used in an aircraft are highly engineered components that must be of high quality and regularly inspected and replaced when needed. Maintenance is also critical to keeping planes in the air, as it prevents any issues from becoming serious problems. Therefore, aircraft parts and repairs are a crucial part of airline operations.
The engine is the power source of an aircraft, so having high-quality engine components is essential for proper functioning. Engine components such as fuel injectors, spark plugs, pistons, and valves must be regularly inspected and replaced. In addition, engines need routine servicing to keep them running optimally.
Cabin components such as seats, overhead bins, curtains, carpets, windows, lavatories, and lighting fixtures are all essential aspects that contribute to passenger comfort during flights. Replacing old cabin components with new ones is necessary for safety and aesthetics. Supplying
The electrical system plays an essential role in the functioning of an aircraft – it powers vital systems such as navigation lights and communication systems, among others. Electrical components must meet strict specifications and be inspected regularly for wear or malfunctioning parts. Replacing these components when they do not meet stringent requirements is a critical step in ensuring safe operation of an aircraft.
Avionics equipment helps pilots navigate the skies safely by providing data on weather conditions and flight control systems such as autopilots and navigation systems. Avionics equipment must be updated with regular service checks and checked for malfunctions or outdated software before each flight.
Aircraft Maintenance and Repair
Aircraft maintenance and repair are essential for the safe operation of any aircraft, as it ensures that all components are in top condition. Aircraft maintenance covers various activities, from inspecting and replacing parts to servicing engines and other systems. It also includes preventive care, which involves checking aircraft components to detect problems before they become serious.
Airlines must employ a comprehensive maintenance program to ensure their aircraft are always in peak condition. This program should include regular airframe inspections, components, and systems; checks for corrosion or wear; and records of all repairs and replacements. Additionally, pilots must be regularly trained on safety procedures and provided with emergency checklists for any possible issue that may arise during flight.
Another critical step in proper aircraft maintenance is to ensure that all parts meet strict requirements and are up-to-date with the latest regulations. Airlines must use only approved features from trusted suppliers, providing better quality assurance than generic or off-brand alternatives. Furthermore, service providers should also have access to technical manuals in case there needs to be further investigation into particular components or systems of an airplane.
Of course, you might be taking apart parts of the plane to perform maintenance and repairs for your clients. This is where MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) transport services come in handy. You will provide an essential service to airline companies by ensuring their planes are ready for takeoff and safe throughout the flight.
MRO transport goes beyond simply shipping parts from Point A to Point B; it involves managing an entire supply chain of aircraft components and systems. You will need to source reliable suppliers, inspect all materials and products you receive, store items safely in your warehouse, and deliver them on time to the customer – all while adhering to industry regulations.
Of course, an essential part of the aviation industry is aircraft manufacturing. Aircraft manufacturers use various materials and processes to create airplanes that meet safety requirements and standards. The production process also involves considerable engineering, as every component must fit perfectly for the plane to fly correctly.
You might be focusing on commercial or military aircraft; each type has unique design considerations and specific engineering needs depending on their intended use. You must source certified parts from reliable suppliers and use advanced building techniques to build quality planes that meet all relevant regulations.
These are just a few of the many possibilities for those interested in pursuing an aviation-related business. With the right skills and tools, you can effectively tap into this lucrative industry and make your mark on it. The sky is truly the limit regarding innovative ideas that can help shape the future of air travel! | aerospace |

Both are tools intended to be integrated into the air traffic system and are mainly used by air traffic operators.
NEURALCAST is a system that makes use of artificial neural networks to generate climatic tendencies of roof, visibility, wind presence, wind speed and direction for a horizon of up to 3 hours, using the information from the stations of the aerodrome itself.
ROUTECAST is a system whose purpose is to identify the volume or area of airspace under the influence of meteorological formations that may pose a risk to aircraft en route, such as Cumulonimbus (CB). It allows control of adverse weather conditions and anticipates their displacement during the next 30 minutes. The system uses meteorological radars and atmospheric electric shock sensors as its data source. | aerospace |

He immediately asked for political asylum from Jordanian authorities upon landing at the King Hussein Air Base in Mafraq, near the Syrian border.
“The cabinet has decided to grant the Syrian pilot political asylum upon his request,” Jordanian Minister of State for Information Samih al-Maaytah told Reuters.
Syria’s Defense Ministry called the pilot a “traitor to his country and his military honor.” In a statement it said it would punish the pilot, named as Colonel Hassan Hamada, under military law. Syria was in contact with the Jordanian authorities to retrieve the aircraft, it added.
Syrian state radio earlier had broadcast a news bulletin saying communications were lost with his plane while he was on a training mission near the border with Jordan.
Witnesses to his arrival said Hamada climbed down from the fighter and immediately removed all his Syrian Air Force insignia, saying that he defected.
Thousands of Syrian soldiers have defected so far during the ongoing rebellion, which has lasted for 15 months. United Nations observers have calculated that some 15,000 Syrians have been killed in the conflict so far—about 1,000 a month—most of them civilians killed by the armed forces.
The Syrian Air Force has seen a number of defections since 1968, most of them to Iraq. In August 1968, the pilots of nine Syrian MiG-17s and three MiG-21s defected to Iraq after an abortive coup attempt. In June 1976, a Palestinian pilot in the Syrian Air Force defected to Iraq with his MiG-23 Flogger. In July 1976, the pilot of a MiG-21 flew to Iraq.
Perhaps the most notable defection occurred in October 1989, when Syrian pilot Abdel Bassem landed his MiG-23ML in Israel. | aerospace |

Colorado-born astronaut Scott Carpenter died Thursday at the age of 88. According to his wife, Patty, he had suffered a stroke and entered a Denver hospice. The couple, with 9 children and six grand children, have been living in Vail. Carpenter did what a lot of little boys like me dreamed of doing -but few ever accomplish – being an astronaut. He only made one trip into outer space, but it was memorable for two reasons.
The most significant fact concerning Carpenter’s space adventure, was that he was just the second man, after John Glenn, to orbit the earth, and just the fourth man in outer space.
His flight is best remembered for a 250-mile overshoot on the splashdown, which left him drifting in the ocean for nearly 3 hours before being picked up by a helicopter.After leaving the space program, Carpenter became an aquanaut for the U.S. Navy, and spent many years involved in deep sea exploration working with Jacques Cousteau. Through the years he continued to be an advocate and consultant for ocean and space exploration.
One regret Scott Carpenter mentions on his website is that he never landed on the moon.
“I had flown in space, achieving a goal I’d had since I learned about Project Mercury in 1959. Sealab at the time was a more attractive opportunity for me. It was a new challenge.
After a while, restored by the underwater work, I tried to regain my flight status. I thought a lunar landing would be a rewarding challenge. But the operation to repair the injury to my left arm did not succeed. I was medically grounded. I couldn’t have a Gemini or Apollo flight, even if I wanted one.”
I have great admiration and appreciation for men like Scott Carpenter, a pioneer of space and ocean exploration. He was passionate about what he did and what he believed in. Carpenter was able to experience things that very few and women will ever experience, and as a native Coloradoan I’m proud to call him one of our own. | aerospace |
