Then, I realized how much math I’d have to learn, and that goal was swiftly set aside. Turns out, I think I just wanted to float in space. Frankly, I think that’s 50% of the motivation for most people who go to work at NASA — the desire to know what it feels like to be in zero gravity. The astronauts lucky enough to experience it simply had more patience to learn math than the rest of us.
However, what I didn’t realize back then was that there was another way to find out what it feels like to be in space. Indeed, there is a second path that will get you there, and it requires way less calculus.
What’s the secret? Just become a world class actor or director with all the funding in the world to make a Hollywood classic. Easy peasy! At least, that’s what the cast and crew behind “Apollo 13” figured out when they made the movie. Indeed, the true story of a NASA disaster went to extremely patient and exhausting efforts to pull of incredible zero gravity filmmaking, and the experience sounds like both a dream come true and a total nightmare.
Houston, We Have A Parabola
After NASA successfully landed men on the moon with the Apollo 11 mission, interest in further missions diminished, just as it does with many Hollywood sequels. By the time the Apollo 13 mission was ready for launch in 1970, people had inexplicably become a bit bored by the whole idea of humans leaving the planet and landing on a rock 238,900 miles away. Crew members James Lovell, Fred Haise, and John Swiger were on board with the end goal of being the next in line to walk on the moon. However, as The Smithsonian notes, an oxygen tank explosion put their lives on the line by destroying key components of the electrical and propulsion systems. The astronauts were forced to fix the problem themselves with the guidance of NASA if they wanted to return home alive.
Director Ron Howard turned to Jim Lovell’s book recounting the experience, “Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13,” into a movie. The first problem to tackle was figuring out how to film the zero gravity shots so the scenes in space looked realistic. CGI wasn’t as advanced as it is now, and wire work would have been tricky to film to in a convincing way. After chatting about the problem to Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard looked into how NASA trained astronauts for weightlessness, and that’s how he was introduced to the possibilities of the KC-135.
Sometimes known lovingly as the Vomit Comet (via Space.com), NASA used the KC-135 plane to train, test equipment, and study zero gravity. To achieve this effect, the plane was flown in curved arcs called parabolas. Through the rise and fall, around 25 seconds of weightlessness was possible. Imagine being on a rollercoaster and gently coming out of your seat for a short moment when racing down a drop, but on a massive scale. The KC-135 was leased for six months of filming, and shoots would happen twice a day.
A simple, elegant solution to Howard’s problem, right? What’s better to mimic the effects of floating in space than to simply film floating in a plane? The only problem was that even if the flights lasted around two or three hours, filming consistently was not possible. Consider this: how much of your job could you accomplish if you were only able to work in 25-second increments? That’s all the time the cast and crew of “Apollo 13” had to pull off their zero gravity shoots. Each of those parabolas would guarantee a weightless moment, but it meant everyone and everything was weightless. Cameramen, actors, and equipment were just floating around in a constant battle of trying to achieve some balance while also filming a scene.
“Actors and things kept drifting in and out of the shot,” recalled NASA test director, Bob Williams, in The AV Club’s retrospective. “We thought, anybody watching this thing is going to get motion sickness.”
Actors Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, and Kevin Bacon were directed by Howard with the energy and efficiency of a coach giving marching orders for a football play. There would be a burst of action where the actors attempted to say their lines and pull off a shot, and then a literally heavy recovery as the whole process reset and gravity doubled. There’s a great clip on YouTube of test footage featuring Paxton and Bacon throwing a football around, and it really gives a sense of how limited the window of time is that they had to work with. There’s also an interesting moment where the football hits the ground when the gravity is doubled, and it does seem to bounce strangely. It looks challenging and exhausting, to say the least, but I have to admit that my inner child is incredibly jealous of it all.
Failure Was Not An Option
The entire zero gravity shoot almost wasn’t possible without the intervention of Jim Lovell, who Tom Hanks played in the film. Lovell was working with Howard in an advisor capacity. After NASA initially turned down his request for their help, Lovell stepped up for the film. Howard explained to Yahoo:
And finally Jim Lovell intervened on our behalf and said, ‘Why don’t you give these guys one test flight? And just see if they can do it?’ And we had to go get into these training and Air Force uniforms and go do it. It was an amazing experience and they let us do it.
It wasn’t just the zero gravity shots that were impressive. The film’s visual effects team also recreated launch footage of a rocket using miniatures and creative lighting that was so convincing that the second man on the moon was even fooled by it. Kelly Port, a visual effects artist who worked on the film in 1995, spoke to Variety about it:
“Buzz Aldrin had asked what NASA archive was used to get some of the launch footage of the Saturn V because he had never seen it before. We, of course, loved hearing something like that, since it meant we had achieved our goal of keeping it as realistic-looking as possible.”
The dedication to detail paid off for the filmmakers. “Apollo 13” became the third highest grossing film of 1995, and it earned several Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. Even though Ron Howard was bizarrely looked over for Best Director at the Academy Awards, he took home the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing for a feature film for his work, an acknowledgement of his ingenuity from fellow filmmakers. We here at /Film consider it to be Howard’s best work. Short of filming from the whole thing from an actual rocket, it’s a stunning technical achievement, with an ambition to pull off the impossible that truly fits the story it told.

However, the agency said Wednesday that data confirmed that Hayabusa had landed on the surface Sunday for a half-hour, although it failed to collect material."
Pretty amazing when you think about it. 2 rovers moving around on the surface of Mars and sending back data, and another probe landing on an asteroid, taking samples, and then bring them back to Earth. Even though the probe didn't collect anything yet (it still has a chance), the concept of the mission is still very cool. | aerospace |

2. With which rocket did ISRO launch Chandrayaan-3?
Answer: c. LVM-3-M4 (Launch Vehicle Mark-3)
– Chandrayaan-3 was launched into space from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, using the LVM3-M4 rocket on July 14, 2023.
– Its previous name was GSLV-III.
– This rocket is capable of launching 4,000-kilogram-class satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) and 8,000-kilogram payloads into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
– It is a three-stage launch vehicle.
– It has two solid propellant boosters on both sides.
– The main components include the L110 liquid stage and the C25 cryogenic stage.
3. Tell the cost of Chandrayaan-3 mission?
a. 615 Crore Rupees
b. 978 Crore Rupees
c. 1000 Crore Rupees
d. 2200 Crore Rupees
Answer: a. 615 Crore Rupees
– On July 14, ISRO launched the spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
– The budget for Chandrayaan-3 is reported to be 615 crore rupees.
– In comparison, Chandrayaan-2 had a cost of 978 crore rupees.
– In the case of Chandrayaan-2, there were three components: the orbiter, lander, and rover.
– The orbiter remained successful and is still orbiting the moon.
– So, this time when we are sending Chandrayaan-3, we are not using the orbiter because it is already present there. This saved the entire cost of the orbiter.
– The best thing about ISRO is that they do most of the work in-house. They develop a lot of the technology themselves, which allows us to execute major missions at a lower cost.
– According to the Chandrayaan-2 mission, the Vikram lander was supposed to land on the lunar south pole between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. on September 7, 2019, Indian Standard Time.
– It was about 2.1 kilometers away from the lunar surface when communication with ISRO was lost.
– However, the orbiter remained successful and is still orbiting the moon.
4. In which part of the moon will the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3’s lander take place?
a. North Pole
b. South Pole
c. Tropic of Cancer
d. None of these
Answer: b. South Pole
– ISRO Chief S. Somanath stated after the launch of Chandrayaan-3 that the spacecraft has begun its journey towards the Moon. If everything goes according to plan, it will land on the Moon on August 23 at 5:47 PM.
Components of Chandrayaan-3:
– Chandrayaan-3 consists of a lander, rover, and propulsion module.
– The lander and rover will land on the lunar south pole and conduct experiments there for 14 days.
– The propulsion module will remain in lunar orbit and study the radiation coming from Earth.
– Through this mission, ISRO will determine how moonquakes occur on the lunar surface and study the lunar soil.
– Chandrayaan-3 is equipped with one lander, one rover, and one propulsion module. The total weight is approximately 3,900 kilograms.
Omission of the Orbiter in Chandrayaan-3:
– The orbiter was not included in Chandrayaan-3.
– Instead, a homemade propulsion module was sent in its place.
– It will take the lander and rover to lunar orbit.
– Afterward, it will orbit around the Moon in a circular path approximately 100 kilometers above the lunar surface.
– The orbiter was not included because it will not conduct any specific studies of the Moon.
Scientific Instruments on the Lander and Rover:
– First: It will measure lunar quakes (Moonquakes).
– Second: It will determine how the lunar surface allows the flow of heat.
– Third: It will study the plasma environment.
– Fourth: It will precisely measure the distance between the Earth and the Moon.
– Fifth: It will search for minerals in the lunar soil.
What does plasma environment mean to detect?
– ISRO Chief S. Somnath says, “We know that there is no atmosphere on the moon. But this is not entirely true because gases are released from it. Instead, they get ionized and stay close to the surface. It changes with day and night. The lander of Chandrayaan-3 will measure the variations of the near-surface plasma density and its changes over time using the Radio Anatomy of Moon-Bound Hypersensitive Ionosphere and Atmosphere (RAMBHA).”
South pole of the Moon has been chosen for landing.
– ISRO scientists have chosen a challenging part of the Moon.
– The lander of Chandrayaan-3 will land on that surface of the Moon about which very little information is available.
– If it successfully lands, it will be a significant achievement for India.
– This part is called the lunar south pole. The special thing about it is that it is difficult to observe directly from Earth.
– There is a considerable possibility of the presence of water and other mineral substances here.
India will become the fourth country to land a spacecraft on the Moon.
– Until now, only three countries, the United States, Russia, and China, have successfully achieved soft-landing on the Moon.
– If the lander of Chandrayaan-3 successfully lands on the Moon, India will become the fourth country to do so.
– In this mission, India will land a lander on the surface of the Moon.
– The lander also includes a rover that will roam on the lunar surface and conduct experiments there.
– The lander will stay on the Moon for one lunar day. One lunar day is equivalent to about 14 days on Earth.
– It is necessary for the lander of Chandrayaan-3 to land on the lunar surface where sunlight is available.
– Sunlight is essential for the lander.
– On the Moon, the sun rises for about 14-15 days, followed by about 14-15 days of darkness.
What is the objective of Chandrayaan-3?
– In this mission, Chandrayaan will deploy a rover (a small robot) that will land on the surface of the Moon and position itself in the lunar south pole.
– The rover will explore this region to gather information about minerals, water, atmosphere, lunar tremors, and other relevant data that can be found on this part of the Moon.
– This exploration will be particularly valuable if we ever plan to establish colonies on the Moon in the future.
What are the major risks associated with such a mission?
– The first risk is that when you send a spacecraft to the Moon, it is entirely controlled by computers. As a human, sitting four lakh kilometers away, you cannot directly control it. It operates entirely with the help of artificial intelligence.
– The second challenge is that there is no GPS on the Moon. Just as we use GPS to navigate on Earth, autonomous cars rely on GPS technology. However, this doesn’t work on the Moon. You won’t know where you are, in which region you are, and how far you are. All this information needs to be estimated using onboard sensors. The good thing is that these aspects have been taken into consideration for this mission.
– Chandrayaan-3 launch date: July 14, 2023
– Launch vehicle: GSLV Mk-3
– Expected landing on the Moon: August 23
– Landing site: Lunar South Pole (Southern Hemisphere)
– ISRO Chief: S. Somnath

Such kind of drone is recognized as a “mapping drone.” This drone is able to provide you with real-time information about the area where your business practices are initiated to investigate, examine and perform. You can get the best drone reviews online.
What does the mapping platform provide?
A mapping drone along its software application provides a three-step process, which is fully automated to achieve the goal of mapping easily. These levels are named as the plane, aerial, and process.
Using the platform that you are able to select the area you want to map and automatically calculates the drone’s flight path to cover this area. There is an onboard software program that just captures good photos and also attaches a tag with each picture showing exactly where it was taken.
Advantages of drone mapping:
The most advanced model for drone mapping offers a combination of beautiful features that get their more definite applications. The advantages are:
Precise resolution – Very high-resolution maps are created automatically which allows users to zoom in to real-time pictures to clearly see what is happening.
Auto-Pilot – Image acquisition is performed by the autopilot, which means that the flight is completely autonomous and the drone is able to make intelligent decisions based on the flight plan.
Flow automated work – The drone is not only able to take off and land on himself, but it is also capable of capturing images, label them and then post-process the data collected to create significant results. | aerospace |

The Boeing 787-9 “Dreamliners” got their nickname from a worldwide competition Boeing held in 2003. In 2015, we introduced this aircraft type to the KLM fleet. Long flights are no problem for the Dreamliner, as it is very fuel efficient. Since this aircraft can fly up to 8,500 nautical miles, it can even cover our longest routes – like flying from New York City to Bangkok.
You might encounter this 787-9 when flying to Delhi, Mumbai, Rio de Janeiro, Bogota, Cartagena, or Salt Lake City, although these destinations may differ per season. "A technical marvel” as we call the 787-9, because it’s a result of hundreds of engineers from around the world working together. This lightweight aircraft can easily be recycled, because it consists of 50% composite, 20% aluminium, 15% titanium, 10% steel, and 5% other materials, generating less waste and chemicals than a similar aircraft.
Our 787-9 Dreamliners are all named after flowers. “Sunflower” was the 1st, followed by: Carnation, Lavender, Bougainvillea, Dahlia, Mimosa, Jasmine, Lily, Marguerite, 芙蓉 (hibiscus), Morning Star, Tulip, and Orchid.

The results have been a lot of fun and my boys have started to learn the basics of flight very inexpensively.
This is my first successful attempt at using salvaged RC electronics to make a working aircraft. The foam glider cost $11, and the electronics where all salvaged from a 4-Site RC biplane that could not be repaired anymore.
It was a little underpowered, but if you kept it from having a steep angle of attack it flew great! One great feature is that the engine is protected from crashes. I have flown this thing over 30 times, and both my boys have tried and we have all had some big crashes. Because it is so light and underpowered it never even broke the foam body, the wings would just pop off and sometimes the tape or hot glue would let go. The engine only had one impact in all that time, and it was very minor, just had to hot-glue the motor mount a little.
My second attempt was a $15 toy that is 50% larger. I used left over components that have way-way-way too much power, so I adjusted the transmitter throttle travel to only use half of the available throttle range, and it is still way to powerful. At 1/4 throttle it flies perfectly, it was a super easy first flight. The amazing thing is that it flies fantastic at low speeds. It only has a rudder and elevator, but the steep upward angle on the wings keeps the aircraft level even in gusty conditions. I even was able to attach a stuffed toy to the bomb drop servo and take it up nice and high before dropping it, all the while never exceeding 1/4 throttle (1/8 of the maximum available). It was very windy on the maiden flight, and I crashed a couple times bringing it in for a landing due to down-wind turn stalling. The 3rd crash was pretty bad and broke a lot of the plane.
With a quick trip to the hot glue gun and tape dispenser it is ready to fly tomorrow! I reinforced the body with long strips of tape to strengthen it. Hopefully there will be a lot less wind for the next flight.
I think most of the damage is because the 1300mah battery and motor are a bit too heavy for this thing, also the foam quality is not nearly as good as the cheaper (but smaller) glider I used for my first attempt. | aerospace |

I thought that today I'd write a little about the new space craft that NASA have sent to Mars.
Phoenix was launched back in August 2007 to set off on its journey to the red planet. This journey has been largely trouble-free and uneventful (well, as trouble-free and uneventful as a trip of over 200 million miles can be, which I suppose is a good thing). It landed safely at its destination near the north polar region of Mars on 25th May 2008. Its suitcase was packed with several gadgets and gizmos which Phoenix (sounds more like an Gladiator than a space craft) will use to probe the soil of Mars. As is customary for all space tourists, Phoenix has also taken its camera to Mars and will be sending back regular snapshots of the view to the people of Earth. The main purpose of Phoenix, and probably of any space craft sent there, is to look for signs that Mars can and did (or even better, still does!) support life. It is now widely believed that Mars was once a wet planet. Its oceans have since dried up, but there is still hope that water is present beneath the surface of Mars. Phoenix will use its array of expensive scientific equipment to try to detect this water. If unsuccessful, it is programmed to do a rain dance to see if that helps. Or maybe not. The landing site of Phoenix is the most northerly of any probe to land on Mars. It is in a region known to contain water ice (the bit that looks like snow on pictures of Mars) and is thought to be a likely spot for life to be able to exist.
Just in case there is life on Mars, and a passing alien happens to bump into Phoenix, scientists have very kindly provided Phoenix with a DVD to be given to any curious Martians, or future human visitors, as a gift. This action-packed DVD, with the highly original name The Phoenix DVD, should hopefully play on all Martian DVD players, providing the DVD is region-free. Contained on the DVD are various multimedia snippets related to the role Mars has played in art and literature in culture on Earth, including the text of H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds and a copy of the radio broadcast of this story which terrified America. It's not known whether the Tom Cruise film of the story is also included on the DVD. Messages from people of Earth to Martians or any other visitors to Mars are also contained on the DVD, as are the names of a quarter of a million Earthlings. Taking a DVD to Mars isn't a new idea, as both the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, which are still roving Mars, also had DVDs with them. But, what will they take next on future missions to Mars??? Blu-ray or HD-DVD? And when will the first branch of Blockbuster open on Mars so Martians can rent out other Earthly masterpieces?
Phoenix's primary mission is expected to last 90 Martian days (sols), which is just over 92 days on Earth. Scientists hope that it will go on to last into Martian winter, where up to three feet of carbon dioxide ice may form at the region of Phoenix's landing. Because of the intense cold on Mars during winter, Phoenix is not expected to make it through the whole season and is likely to give up at some point during winter. If only those scientists had thought to pack an extra pair of socks and a thermal vest! However, 1997's Pathfinder lander and its Sojourner rover lasted longer than expected, and Spirit and Opportunity, which both landed in January 2004 and were expected to last same 90 days as Phoenix, are still going strong(ish), so who knows, Phoenix may exceed expectations again.
On this blog, I'll keep updating any developments and discoveries from the Phoenix mission and one day, when I get around to completing my Missions to Mars 2 page, it'll get a mention on there too! | aerospace |

The tests show that bump-ridged flippers produce more lift and less drag than comparably sized sleek flippers.
The tests were reported by fluid-dynamics engineer Laurens Howle of the Pratt School of Engineering, along with Frank Fish of West Chester University and David Miklosovic and Mark Murray of the U.S. Naval Academy. They reported their findings in the May 2004 issue of Physics of Fluids.
In the study, the team first created two approximately scale models of humpback pectoral flippers--one with the characteristic bumps, called tubercles, and one without. The models were machined at Duke, from thick, clear polycarbonate. Testing was conducted in a low-speed closed-circuit wind tunnel at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
The sleek flipper performance was similar to a typical airplane wing. But the tubercle flipper exhibited nearly 8 percent better lift properties, and withstood stalling at a 40 percent steeper wind angle. The team was particularly surprised to discover that the flipper with tubercles produced as much as 32 percent lower drag than the sleek flipper.
"The simultaneous achievement of increased lift and reduced drag results in an increase in aerodynamic efficiency," Howle explains.
The findings could have significant implications for airplane wing and underwater vehicle design. Increased lift (the upward force on an airplane wing) at higher wind angles affects how easily airplanes take off and helps pilots maneuver more easily during landing. And improved resistance to stalling would add a new margin of safety to aircraft flight.
As whales move through the water, the tubercles disrupt the line of pressure against the leading edge of the flippers. The row of tubercles sheers the flow of water and redirects it into the scalloped valley between each tubercle, causing swirling vortices that roll up and over the flipper to actually enhance lift properties.
"The swirling vortices inject momentum into the flow," says Howle. "This injection of momentum keeps the flow attached to the upper surface of the wing and delays stall to higher wind angles." | aerospace |

Invest in Space
How space is the key to bringing our divided country together
We’re a very politically divided nation — getting almost violently so. Can we ever unite as a nation again? Well, I think we can, but we must stop looking at our problems on the ground and instead look up.
I think that space exploration is the key to bringing us all together. While many don’t like the idea of spending on space when it doesn’t directly solve any of our problems, what space gives us is the most important thing of all: perspective. Because space is vast and our planet is small.
When we can see the earth in one glimpse out the window of a spaceship, we can perceive how tiny the problems are we often argue over. Think of all the people we disagree with in a spaceship, watching the earth becoming smaller and smaller. Perhaps then they’ll understand. And now instead they’ll look forward to their destination — Mars. But they don’t see it. “What’s happening?” they’ll say to themselves. “I thought we were going to Mars.” | aerospace |

The company was aiming for 2018 but is now looking to 2020
Last year, SpaceX announced a bold plan to launch its Dragon spacecraft to Mars as soon as 2018 — in what would be the first ever private mission to the Red Planet. But now it looks like the company is pushing back the mission by a couple years. SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell confirmed today that SpaceX is now targeting the year 2020 for the Mars trip, a move that will allow the company to better focus on its other ambitious projects.
We were focused on 2018, but we felt like we needed to put more resources and focus more heavily on our crew program and our Falcon Heavy program,” Shotwell said at a pre-launch press conference in Cape Canaveral, Florida. “So we’re looking more for the 2020 timeframe for that.”

Shares of aerospace large Boeing (BA -2.39%) are among the highest-profile sufferers these days’s sell-off on the most up to date acceleration of Russia’s relocations against Ukraine. As of 2:05 p.m. ET Tuesday, BA stock was down 5.2%, approximately three times the loss of the S&P 500 as a whole.
Why would a full-blown Russian intrusion of Ukraine misbehave information for Boeing?
For one thing, it might disrupt materials of Russian titanium that Boeing requires to develop its planes. Going by previous remarks by the firm, Boeing spends roughly $9 billion every 10 years on Russian titanium.
Yet the U.S. has already begun enforcing new economic assents on Russia to punish Head of state Vladimir Putin’s latest round of East European aggression. And also the farther Russian tanks roll onto Ukrainian area, the extra substantial and also considerable the financial sanctions are most likely to end up being.
Possibly, it could quickly end up being outright illegal to do organization with Russian business, which’s a danger that can attack Boeing 2 methods.
On the one hand, permissions versus Russian acquisitions of American items could shut Boeing out of the Russian airline company market completely. On the other hand, they could threaten Boeing’s supply of metals required to construct planes to sell to any person else. Not just is Russia the world’s No. 2 manufacturer of the steel, yet the No. 5 producer is Ukraine. (And suffice it to claim that source of supply is looking progressively tenuous.).
All that being claimed, Russia and also Ukraine aren’t the only places Boeing can obtain the titanium it needs. Japan is the No. 3 producer of the steel worldwide, and also India is No. 6. While today’s news is troubling for all kind of factors, for that reason, I rarely assume it’s a great factor to sell Boeing stock.
Boeing: Titanium War With Russia.
– Acceleration of problem at the Ukrainian-Russian border might impact the aerospace supply chain.
– Russian VSMPO-AVISMA is the largest provider of titanium and titanium components for all Boeing aircraft programs.
– Sanctions on titanium can harm Boeing.
– Titanium, as a strategic resource, could be exempted from assents.
– With or without permissions, Boeing could be looking to additionally expand its titanium supply chain.
The stress between Russia as well as Ukraine, and also actually the tension in between Russia and the majority of the globe, has been making headlines for the past days as well as weeks. Obviously developments in the area maintain the financial markets in its grip. At the time I started writing this record, Russia claimed soldiers were going back to their bases after a drill. Nonetheless, at the time I was writing the verdict of this record troops got in the self-declared republics of Donetsk as well as Lugansk demonstrating how promptly points have transformed. The markets have also reacted with the Dow Jones Index futures being down 1.8%.
Much like with several international and also geopolitical growths, there is commonly a relate to the air travel field and in this report, I will certainly have a look at how an acceleration can threaten particular parts of the aerospace supply chain and eventually influence Boeing (BA).
The first thing I have looked at is the backlog credited to Ukraine as well as Russia making use of the TAF Boeing Backlog Monitor. In complete there are 41 airplane in backlog destined for airline companies in these nations. To be accurate there are 7 airplane credited to Ukraine and also 34 aircraft including the Boeing 737 MAX as well as Boeing 777F attributed to Russia. These orders are valued $2.8 billion. That might seem like a lot, however determined against the stockpile from airlines in this country stand for less than 1% of the complete stockpile. Not consisted of are airplane bought by owners as well as predestined for drivers in Russia as well as Ukraine. So, if these orders would certainly be cancelled or delayed because of the current situation and financial influence of a rise, the discomfort would be limited. Nonetheless, if a rise of the dispute would have bigger effects for the globe economic climate a lot more orders would clearly be at threat. Nonetheless, the prospective pain is not a lot in the backlog at this moment but in the supply chain.
Aerospace Application of titanium in Boeing 787-9.
Boeing 787 products airplane.
Boeing 787 materials (The Boeing Business).
The bigger trouble would certainly appear to be on supply chain side and more especially focused on Titanium. Titanium has been fielded in aerospace applications because of its valuable particular properties, partly balanced out by the cost that it features. On the Boeing 787, around 15% of the weight is titanium or the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V as commonly utilized in aerospace. That implies that on each Boeing 787-9, there mores than 19 tons of titanium. Titanium sheets cost around $20.85 per kg. Not counting the costs of generating the titanium parts and scrap material, there would be around $0.4 million well worth of titanium on each Boeing 787. With a sales price of around $135 million to $145 million for a Boeing 787-9, $0.4 million could seem small yet that only covers the price of sheet steel and also not the complex processing and also manufacturing of the real components. So, as a price component this might increase substantially as well as cover around $14 million to $17 million per aircraft representing as much as 12.5% of the sales price of a Boeing 787-9.
Undoubtedly, the use of titanium has actually been higher on the Boeing 787 as a result of the substantial use composites but on typical aluminium styles this share is still around 7%.
A titanium titan.
So, what is the link between Russia and also the aerospace supply chain? Titanium.
Taking a look at the titanium production, Russia holds the 3rd area with a share of around 13 to 13.5 percent after China as well as Japan and Ukraine has a share of 2 to 2.6 percent. A combination of Russia and also Ukraine, which at this point is still tough to imagine, would hold a manufacturing share of over 16%. Because demand for titanium has decreased because of the pandemic, the data for 2019 has actually likewise been thought about which information shows Russia having a share in sponge production of 22% as well as 4% for Ukraine. So, Russia holds an essential duty in the titanium market and titanium is extremely essential not just for business aircraft, but titanium likewise is utilized for the manufacturing of defense devices and also as a result is of critical relevance for the national protection.
Throughout the years, Boeing has actually heightened its connections with Russia for the production of titanium parts. In 1997, Boeing signed a contract with VSMPO, the world’s greatest producer, to offer titanium to Boeing as well as several follow up agreements were reached. In 2006, titanium supply for the Boeing 787 was included and also the establishment of a joint venture was settled on. On the Dubai Airshow of 2021, Boeing as well as VSMPO-AVISMA authorized a Memorandum of Understanding affirming that the firm would remain the largest supplier for Boeing’s industrial airplanes programs in the future. So, the Russian participation in the supply chain allows and also not conveniently replaceable. One more spicy information is that the parent company of VSMPO-AVISMA is Rostec, a state-owned conglomerate.
On the Singapore Airshow, which occurred just recently, Stanley Offer (CEO and also President of Boeing Commercial Airplanes) maintained that Boeing would have the opportunity to resolve any kind of disturbance in the titanium supply chain. Provided the importance of Russian titanium, it is difficult to see just how Boeing would certainly have the ability to replace VSMPO-AVISM, the globe’s most significant maker of titanium. Modifying the supply chain requires breakthrough notice and financial investment, to make sure that does not take place from one day to the various other. What is likely is that there are no temporary disruptions expected in the titanium supply chain and also Boeing is counting on having sufficient time to reform the supply if needed.
So, there is factor for concern though Boeing is counting on having sufficient time to remap the supply chain if needed. The big inquiry is whether it will be needed. At the time of composing, Russian troops have actually currently gotten in Ukraine and also the globe has actually vouched to bang Russia with assents. While that might position a risk to Boeing as it depends on the Russian titanium, it might not even be needed to remap the titanium supply chain. The reason for that is that titanium is critical to the manufacturing of defense tools and nations, including the US, could be searching for an exemption of tolls and also sanctions on titanium and titanium parts.
Russia plays an essential duty as a vendor of titanium and also titanium components. If a complete invasion does happen, that would produce an even bigger gamer on the titanium market, which will be also more challenging to disregard. If nations will certainly be as tenacious with assents as they have promised, that can spell problem for Boeing, because while Boeing has some buffer it is not safeguarded versus a disturbance in the supply chain for life as well as if things move fast Boeing will have little time to remap the titanium supply chain. Nevertheless, more likely is that if sanctions against Russia take effect titanium will be excluded due to its relevance for applications that play a key role in nationwide safety and security and also currently we are not expecting a strong step from Russia unilaterally removing that supply. | aerospace |

You cannot operate a space-based radiocommunications network in Australia without an appropriate licence. The Radiocommunications Act 1992 requires that the operation of all transmitting and receiving devices, including earth stations and space stations on satellites, be authorised by a licence issued by the ACMA. If the network is used for telecommunications purposes then, under the Telecommunications Act 1997 a carrier licence may also be needed.
The ACMA's flexible licensing arrangements support efficient and equitable licensing for a wide variety of space-based communications systems and applications. They allow the often unique characteristics of these systems to be accommodated within the regulatory framework.
When licensing a space-based system, we take into account:
- its configuration and
- the nature of its use of Australian spectrum.
The commercial preferences of the satellite operator, the service provider or the end user may also affect the nature of the licensing arrangements.
Who needs to get the licence?
Operation of a satellite network may involve many tiers of ownership or service provision, involving:
- Operators of a satellite
- Resellers of satellite capacity
- Providers of services from a satellite
- Consumers or users of a satellite service
Any of these parties may hold the licences authorising operation of a space-based communications system.
Before you operate a satellite service, what needs to be asked is:
- Is a licence needed at all for this particular device?
- If so, does someone already hold a licence for it?
- If not, what types of licences are there? and
- What types of licence do I need?
Who doesn't need to get a licence?
You do not need to apply for a licence if the operation of the network is already authorised; that is, another party already holds a licence for it.
How do I apply for a licence?
You can obtain application forms for licences from the ACMA's Radiocommunications Licensing and Assignments Section, or download them from our website.
Applications for an apparatus licence are made by completing the appropriate ACMA spectrum forms.
Completed applications can be:
Radiocommunications Licensing and Assignments Section
Operations and Services Branch
Australian Communications and Media Authority
PO Box 78
Belconnen ACT 2616
Or fax: +61 2 6219 5347
If you need to contact the ACMA before submitting your application you can either phone +61 1300 850 115 or email Radiocommunications Licensing and Assignments.
How long does it take to get one?
The time it takes to get a licence varies from case to case.
If the application is straightforward a licence may be issued within the specified periods indicated in our Customer Service Charter.
An example of a straightforward licence is one that authorises operation of an earth station on frequencies already included in the Radiocommunications (Communication with Space Object) Class Licence 1998 (the Class Licence). Generally speaking, the inclusion of frequencies in the Class Licence means that they are available for use throughout Australia by space-based communications services. Another straightforward licence application is one for which the proposed frequencies are included in the Class Licence and the satellite is already specified in a Space Objects Determination issued by the ACMA.
If we need to authorise operation of a station on a frequency not mentioned in the Class Licence or of satellites not included in the Space Objects Determinations, then detailed consideration may be required and the application could take longer for us to process. If an application is particularly complicated or requires amendment of a Determination, it may take six months or longer before a licence can be issued.
Licensing via the ground or space segment
For satellite-based communications systems both the uplink and the downlink frequencies generally need to be licensed. We offer the choice of licensing the space segment (satellites) or licensing the ground segment (earth stations). The most suitable option depends on the configuration of the satellite, or the satellite system, the nature of its use of Australian spectrum and the commercial preferences of the satellite operator or the service provider. In some cases, if one part of the system is authorised by an apparatus licence, the remainder may be covered by a class licence.
- You can authorise uplink and downlink frequencies using individual apparatus licences for fixed or mobile earth stations communicating with space stations, or other earth stations via a space station. OR
- You can authorise uplink and downlink frequencies by individual apparatus licences for the space segment, namely, for space stations. If a space receive licence is used, then the earth stations communicating with the space station could be covered by the Class Licence.
Licensing via the ground segment
Licensing via the ground segment involves the issue of individual earth or earth receive licences to authorise the use of spectrum by earth stations in Australia to communicate with space stations. As the earth stations use the frequency ranges specified in the licences, their operation does not have to be limited to a particular satellite. This arrangement supports earth stations that communicate with several satellites in the course of normal operations.
Licensing via the space segment
Licensing via the space segment involves the issue of individual space or space receive licences to authorise use of Australian spectrum by space stations. In such cases, earth stations communicating with space stations are authorised by the Class Licence, which specifies broad frequency bands within which space and space receive licences can be issued. The Class Licence only authorises earth stations operating within these bands and only with apparatus-licensed space stations.
Space segment licensing is not feasible in all frequency bands. Technical and planning considerations restrict it to those where individual coordination of earth stations is not required.
Currently, space segment licensing arrangements can be supported in the following frequency ranges:
Uplink Frequency Ranges
(earth to space)
Downlink Frequency Ranges
(space to earth)
148 - 150.05 MHz
1610 - 1660.5 MHz

Auckland is the most populous urban area in the city of New Zealand and the region here is governed by Auckland councils and not all places are permitted to fly drones recklessly in this city. Though flying unmanned aircraft is something funny and enjoyable for the respective pilots, but first, they have to follow laws governing drone services. Specifically for safe public transport system here in Auckland, there are New Zealand aviation rules that govern drone pilots to fly considerably and responsibly and in the right way. Under the aviation rules, the drone pilots have to get permission before flying carelessly over the states’ property. This urban area is strictly under the laws, and there are specific places you can’t fly your drone, especially places like public cemeteries, designated dog areas in parks and other specific areas are restricted from drone activities. Drone pilots have to consider others by staying a considerate distance from their property, and always drone pilots are supposed to get the ideal location to fly drones safely. Here are the best places to fly to Drone Auckland.
1. Auckland Botanic garden:
The botanic park is such big as it covers large acres of land and generally, the park is preserved for public use, and it doesn’t include use of drones at every circumstance. The Auckland council requires drone pilots to get explicit permissions in line with civil aviation authority before operating in this garden. The botanic garden has a very beautiful view as it grows all species of plants and it is considered as an ideal location for drone flying as long as permission is permitted, under the rules, the drones are supposed to fly some meters high above to create a good environment for public use.
2. Ambury Regional Park:
Once the permission is granted to fly drones over this park, it is such a great opportunity for drone pilots as they can get a view of natural beauty in the park. The Park covers south of Auckland, and it is so big, and there is much space to do drone activities. The whole area in the park is covered with rocks, and also tiny caves and holes are found in the area. The area is also a great spot for bird watching especially big birds, and also the area is covered with high grass that gives mesmerizing view the whole park. The Ambury regional park is such a beautiful natural reserve, and the place is hence considered as an ideal location for drone flying.
3. Meola Reef reserve:
The reserve is in Auckland, and it is also the best to place to fly drones. The area is known as for vast geological reserves, and in the area, there is most extended lava flow in the volcanic field in Auckland city. The reserve also has a natural mangrove forest that covers almost the whole land. This reef is such beautiful, and the area is considered as an ideal location for drone flying as drone pilots can good aerial videos and pictures of the natural beauty around.
4. Western Springs outer fields:
The outer regions of western springs here in Auckland have a big stadium primarily used for rugby union and other different sports, and also occasionally it is used for various festivals in Auckland. The drone pilots like this place as they can take a good picture of this stadium, especially during sports competitions.
5. Mount Albert war Memorial Park:
The memorial park is a public reserve park and situated in the central region of Auckland; the park is restricted from other illegal activities. The park has a local volcanic peak that dominated the whole landscape. The park is also popularly known in Auckland as different events and exhibitions are done here. The drone is only allowed hereafter explicit permission in line with civil aviation authority is given, and actually, the park is such a beautiful and ideal place to get fun of drones.
6. Mount Wellington Domain:
Mount Wellington is situated downside of Auckland town, and it is a volcanic peak. The mountain is volcanic after it erupted some decades ago and there is deep crater existing in the mountain even now. The volcanic landmark is a popular spot for nature lovers and other photographers especially the drone flyers as the whole background provides attractive image and that is why drone pilots take this area an ideal location to get a view of those mesmerizing views.
7. Music point Esplanade reserve:
It is a natural heritage reserve in Auckland town, and it encompasses steep coastal cliffs that provide spectacular views to the entire landscape. It such a lovely place to go, as you can relax in in one of the harbors; browns island and enjoy a great spot on arrival and departure of ships. The area is such a right place for drone flying as you can take photographic images of the area.
8. Michael Joseph savage memorial park:
The Park has par anomic views of Auckland city, and it boasts perfect lawns and exciting part and eye-catching is that the entire landscape is of a good view and of high profile nature. The park is a popular spot for locals and tourist from the world’s globe. The location of the park is such a great place for drone pilots as they can get a capture of all the mesmerizing corners of the park.

Aircraft that were purely mailplanes existed almost exclusively prior to World War II. Because early aircraft were too underpowered to carry cargoes, and too costly to run any "economy class" passenger-carrying service, the main civilian role for aircraft was to carry letters faster than previously possible. During the 1920s, some mailplanes in the USA were operated by the United States Army Air Corps. In the past, mail-carrying aircraft had to carry a special official emblem on the fuselages; in case of British-registered aircraft, a special Royal Air Mail pennant (a blue triangular flag with a crowned bugle emblem in yellow and the letters "ROYAL AIR MAIL" in white) would sometimes be flown as well.

This time around there were some interesting twist to the whole experience. On the 25th itself I get an sms from Firefly that my return flight has been cancelled and I am on the earlier 645pm flight instead of 8pm flight. This was positive for me as it meant I could get back earlier but the risk was that I would not be able to complete my work in Penang on time. On the return trip itself, I was a bit upset to find out that the 8pm flight was not cancelled and that there was no necessity for me to have rushed to finish work and get the airport. (Minus 1 point to Flirefly for not telling the truth but plus 1 point for giving early notice so plans can be made)
Asides from that, it was uneventful, We left almost on time but both ways landed on time.
My new observations about the positives of flying on Firefly is that because it departs from Subang, we already save lots of time and walking as compared to KLIA. More than that the ATR 72′ are quiet, they flew at a ceiling of 15,000 feet which was not very high. The advantage of this was the plane got to straight and level very fast, and had a longer straight and level flight as compared to flying on a jet.
The benefit to me was that I had more time to do work on the flight. This was very nice.
All I can ask is for FFLY to keep it up and once the subang skypark is ready, flying on FFLY will be a pleasure. | aerospace |

On this subject writing RBC with reference to two sources.
According portal “Radio Liberty” Beijing has asked the carriers for data confirming that planes imported from Russian carriers have been officially deregistered overseas.
Most of the fleet of Russian airlines consists of planes belonging to Western lessors and registered until March in foreign jurisdictions. After the start of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the planes were effectively seized from their owners and transferred to Russian registration, and their maintenance is carried out without the control of Western manufacturers and aviation authorities. However, they can only be written off in the old jurisdiction with the consent of the leasing companies.
Since late February, Western countries have imposed a series of sanctions against Russia’s aviation industry due to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. The European Union has banned Russian planes from using its airspace and has also stopped deliveries of planes and spare parts to the country. | aerospace |

For the New York-based division of Parker Aerospace, the program has a potential revenue value of $200 million, including original equipment sales to Airbus and aftermarket spares and services to the airlines over a 20-year period.
"Like all Airbus aircraft programs, we are launching the A380 backed by only the finest suppliers in the world," said Allan McArtor, chairman of Airbus North America. "We go where top quality is, and once again that search has taken us to the United States. Parker is one of hundreds of U.S. companies with which Airbus does business already, and we are very pleased to expand that relationship via the A380. This new aircraft could generate more than 20,000 American aerospace jobs."
"All of us at Parker are extremely pleased and excited with our selection on the A380 program," said Steve Long, general manager of the Electronic Systems Division. "We look forward to the continued growth of our relationship with Airbus on what will become its flagship aircraft."
The fuel measurement system accurately gauges the fuel quantity in the tanks located in the aircraft wings, fuselage, and horizontal stabilizer. This information is computed by the aircraft integrated modular avionics (IMA) suite.

A case in point is the use of composite materials in fan blade construction. Lightweight, durable, and resistant to myriad environmental factors, composites promise enhanced performance and longer service life. However, gauging their exact behavior under operational conditions necessitates a meticulous, multifaceted analytical approach, which is the crux of our investigation.
The analysis begins with a deep dive into Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Here, we undertake a steady flow analysis on the fan blade made from the composite material. The objective is to comprehensively map the pressure distribution across the blade during operation. This pressure profile, resultant from the interaction between the blade and the surrounding air, is a critical determinant of the blade’s aerodynamic performance.
With the pressure data in hand, we transition to Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Using the pressures obtained from the CFD as input, the FEA structure stress analysis is executed to unravel the stress and deflection experienced by the composite blade. Given the unique mechanical properties of composites, understanding these stresses is pivotal in assessing the blade’s structural integrity and longevity.
In essence, this dual-pronged analytical exploration merges fluid dynamics with structural mechanics, offering a holistic view of the composite fan blade’s performance, both aerodynamically and structurally.

HACCP, which is an abbreviation for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, is not a new system. The concept was developed in the 1960s by the Pillsbury Company, while working with National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) and the US Army Laboratories to provide safe food for space expeditions. The system was developed due to a persistent Salmonnella infection in space foods. The limitations of end product testing became evident to those who were trying to provide the safest possible food products. In order to ensure that food used for space missions would be safe, almost all the product manufactured would need to be tested, leaving very little for actual use. A new approach was needed. The practical and proactive system of HACCP evolved from these efforts to understand and control food safety failures. HACCP is now internationally recognized as the best system for ensuring food safety. It is endorsed by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO) and, in the US by the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods (NACMCF). | aerospace |

The club shall be called the Ottawa Region Electric Organisation (OREO).
2. The club objective shall be to support the pursuit of R/C electric model aircraft flying as a hobby by enabling fellow enthusiasts to meet up and help each other get the most out of the hobby. To this end, throughout the year, members will organise and support flying meetings, and during winter months club members will organise and support indoor meetings for the exchange of tips and information related to the hobby. All activities will be conducted to ensure as far as possible the safe and responsible use of radio-controlled electric model aircraft. Support and encouragement to newcomers to the hobby, particularly young newcomers is an important club priority.
3. Membership shall be freely available for as long as possible and until such time as it becomes necessary to introduce an annual fee to cover expenses. Membership renewal is required at the end of each calendar year.
4. All flying members shall be members of the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada ( MAAC) and shall abide by all of its rules and regulations at all times. All flying members shall provide evidence of such membership on request, and shall display membership cards when at the flying field either on their person, flight box or car-dashboard.
5. All major club decisions will be reached by discussion of proposals and consensus amongst active members, and will be decided by a vote amongst those active members. (Active members are ones who have attended at least 3 winter indoor sessions and who have participated in and supported at least two club flying activities in the previous 12 month period.)
1. All pilots must observe field discipline and comply with all MAAC safety codes and club rules. It is a shared responsibility of all club members to ensure these rules are applied and adhered to.
2. Only electrically propelled models shall be flown at OREO flying fields. All club related flying shall be done only at approved designated club flying fields where club members have permission to fly. A guest may only fly at an OREO field when accompanied by a member.
3. Only experienced qualified pilots with “wings” shall fly unassisted. It is the duty of all new pilots, and those pilots who are unable to guarantee that their aircraft will remain safely under control at all times, to ensure they are supervised and assisted by an experienced, qualified pilot. NOTE :Inexperienced pilots without “wings” are NOT permitted to fly unsupervised even if they happen to be at the field on their own.
4. Any OREO instructor has the right to request any pilot who is not flying in a safe and adequate manner to fly only with the direct assistance of an instructor until such time that a club instructor deems he is safe to fly unaided. (The club supports a training program for new pilots based on the MAAC wings program. Qualified experienced volunteers who will be pleased to assist are listed in the club instructor list on the club website. OREO approved instructors will award "wings" to pilots they deem able to fly safely and competently without assistance. Passing the OREO wings program is one way for a new pilot to demonstrate he or she is an experienced and qualified pilot.)
5. An adequate frequency control method shall be employed at all flying fields* All pilots shall ensure their transmitters are labeled with the channel number for the frequency on which they are operating*. Before turning on their transmitters, pilots shall identify the channel they are about to use by placing a frequency control peg marked with their name and channel number on a Frequency Control Board. This ensures that not more than one person is using any particular channel at any moment in time. When not in use, transmitters shall be powered off, their antennas retracted and the corresponding peg shall be removed from the board. Use of a channel shall be restricted to 15 minutes if other pilots are waiting to use it.
* These frequency control regulations are not applicable to 2.4GHz transmitters. Thus 2.4GHz radio systems are not required to be labelled and pegged off..
6. A range and operation test shall be performed before a pilot makes a first flight of the day at the field. It is recommended that the range test shall be performed with the Tx antenna collapsed and with the motor running at half-throttle or less whilst watching for erratic or un-commanded control surface movement. It is recommended that the plane being range tested be carried along the flight line away from the corresponding transmitter, whilst the transmitter is operated at or near a designated pilot station. It is highly recommended that the direction and function of flight controls and fail-safe settings be checked as part of this test.
7. All fliers shall observe an established flight line and stand in the designated area whilst flying. The flight line shall be identified with temporary markers eg traffic cones, coloured cable or rope etc. It is the responsibility of all pilots to ensure that identified pilot stations are used and that flight line, pits and spectator limit are all marked. These may be marked by traffic cones, blocks of foam, or bean-bags etc. PILOT STATIONS SHALL LIE NO LESS THAN 10 METERS FROM THE FLIGHT LINE / FLYING AREA and shall be spaced at least 2 m apart. The first turn after take-off should always be made away from the flight line, pilots and spectators. Pilots shall never fly on the pilots’s and spectator's side of the flight line, over people, or over houses, vehicles and other property. Pilots must clearly and loudly announce their intentions for the benefit of other pilots. Eg "Launching", "Taking-off", "Landing", "Going on the Runway" & "Runway Clear" etc.
8. It is the responsibility of all club members to ensure that all spectators remain at least 40 m behind the designated flight-line and flying area, and also to ensure that all vehicles are parked at least 40 m away from the designated flying area. Members are also required to maintain a minimum distance of 13m from the flight line when working on their models both before and after flying.
9. In the event that a manned aircraft of any kind approaches the field then a MAAC rule requires all pilots to descend and land immediately. (Do NOT wait to see if the aircraft comes closer!)
10. When more than five pilots are present at the field, then either an agreed Tx impound shall be set up, or all unused Tx's shall be returned to the owner’s vehicle. People using channel selection modules shall take extreme care to only reset them after pegging-off the channel they wish to use. No more than five pilots shall be in the air at any one time.
11. All new or repaired models shall be "checked out" by a qualified experienced pilot before being flown. All models are subject to random safety spot-checks which may be carried out by any Instructor. If in an instructor’s opinion a model is unsafe to fly it shall not be flown at a club field until the problems are rectified.
12. Simultaneous fixed-wing and helicopter flying is not allowed. Helicopters may only be flown individually. Flying time-slots for helicopters will be mutually agreed between the pilots present at the time.
13. "Failsafe" settings used on PCM and spread spectrum transmitters shall set the motor off regardless of any other control operations governed by the "failsafe". Particular care must be taken when swapping from FM (ie PPM) to PCM to ensure that the "failsafe" is correctly programmed.
14. All pre-1991 radio-control equipment including wide-band transmitters is not allowed at OREO flying fields.
16. All voice and data communication equipment including cellular telephones is banned within 50 feet of the flight line. (This means 'phones etc shall not be carried on one’s person on the field). It is recommended all members, guests and spectators should leave cellular phones etc in their vehicles.) First Person View (FPV) and flight telemetry equipment is allowed.
17. No dogs or other pets are allowed at the flying field or in any OREO meeting. All persons under the age of 12 shall be accompanied and closely supervised by a responsible adult all of the time. (A person responsible for a child shall not fly except as part of providing instruction to that child.) | aerospace |

They've photographed strong evidence of liquid water on Mars!
It appears to be coming from an underground source of some kind, and flowing out onto the surface. Due to the thin atmosphere and cold temperatures it quickly evaporates or freezes, but it looks to have been in a liquid state at some point.
As liquid water is considered one of the requirements for life, it once again raises questions about the possibility for microbial life on Mars.
It's funny, I was jokingly thinking to myself “OMG! Aliens!” when I read the press release this morning, and that's turned out to not be entirely inaccurate. *laugh*

May 24th marks the birthday of Charles Taylor, the Wright Brother's mechanic, and as such it has become Aviation Maintenance Technician Day. Unical's two 145 Repair Stations (Unical 145 and Unical MRO) marked the day with events celebrating all our great Aviation Maintenance Technicians.
Unical 145 has an Aero Structures Shop, Landing Gear shop, and Accessories shop and employs dozens of aircraft mechanics. The team gathered to recognize each other and 'years of service' stickers were handed out to all. Unical MRO performs A-C checks, repairs, borescope inspections, and aircraft disassembly. Our many aircraft mechanics working there also celebrated the day and enjoyed the recognition from their peers for all their skilled work.
Born in an Illinois log cabin in 1868, Charles Edward Taylor started work at age 12 as a newspaper binder. He became a toolmaker and in his mid-20’s he moved to Dayton, Ohio with his wife and child. There he began working as a bicycle mechanic and builder for the Wright Brothers. Needing a light but powerful engine that wasn’t available off the shelf to power their airplane, the Wrights turned to Taylor. Based on their rough sketches, Taylor designed and built the aluminum-copper water-cooled engine in 6 weeks. The specs called for an engine that could produce 8 horsepower, and Taylor’s generated 12 hp. And the rest, as they say, is history. | aerospace |

The two-day encounter became known as the Battle of Los Angeles.
Despite heavy anti-aircraft fire, fighter aircraft, and ground searches, no wreckage or other evidence was ever found to explain the mysterious aircraft that brought the US military to full alert on February 24 and 25, 1942.
The media ran dramatic photos of a cryptic looking aircraft, but none of the hundreds of witnesses were able to clearly identify what it was.
Despite reports of an aircraft, the Secretary of the Navy attributed the whole incident to “war nerves.” In 1983 the Office of Air Force History attributed the affair to meteorological balloons. They concluded that reports were so confused that little could be definitely ascertained about aircraft. | aerospace |

Drones, technically known as unmanned aerial systems or UAS, used to be an exclusive domain of the military to target enemies, map enemy territories and capture aerial images.
Today, usage of drones in the United States and in other countries has expanded to other facets of everyday life. While still a highly regulated area and commercial applications are still awaiting regulatory approvals, the consumer market has been very enthusiastic about drones and sales have increased significantly. In fact, drones have become one of the biggest selling gift item for the holidays as both adults and kids alike want to get their hands on a drone.
As demand for drones increases, so does its commercial uses and business applications. In short, there is a huge opportunity for making money from drones, even for small businesses.
Here are some ways you can make money from drones:
Manufacturing and creation of drones
The business of manufacturing drones, both for military and civilian use, require substantial investment and capitalization. While the industry is still in its infancy, manufacturing – especially for consumer drones – is expected to see tremendous growth. The current market leader for consumer drones is the Chinese company DJI Technology Co. , whose drone models are carried by Amazon.com and retails for about $500 to $1,250 or more. Even GoPro, whose action cameras are commonly used in drones, is planning to release its own quadcopter drones in 2016.
Despite the high barriers to entry given the investment and patents currently held by these existing manufacturers, there are still opportunities for small businesses. If you are an inventor, you may be able to design a different type of drone targeting a specific user. You may also be able to work as subcontractors for the drone manufacturers. Or you can set up a business that creates specially designed drones configured for specific use – e.g. think of a retailer requiring drones that can deliver certain types of products to customers.
According to the Consumer Electronics Association, roughly 700,000 drones are expected to ship in the United States in 2015, including those who want to purchase drones as a gift. The U.S. market alone will approach $105 million in revenue in 2015, up by 52% from 2014.
There is a huge consumer drone market, such as the hobbyists, do-it-yourselfers, and even kids from the younger ones (5-8 years old) to teens (12-16 years old). There are drone models for kids that can glide on water, detach from a floating base to fly, carry building blocks and other small objects. To capture this market, you can open a store selling drones, whether an ecommerce store or a brick and mortar retail store (or both).
Sell drone accessories.
As the demand for drone increases, so will the demand for accessories needed to use and control drones.
Fighting Walrus has an accessory called iDroneLink™ that plugs onto an iPhone or iPad that allows users to command their drones with a simple touch interface. Together with a companion app called iDroneCtrl, you can command your drone while giving you information such as battery status, GPS location, and autopilot mode.
Other drone accessories include:
- Propeller guards
- Extra propellers
- Extra batteries
- Carrying case and portable bags
- Lost aircraft finder
- Micro SD cards
- Crash packs
- Decal sets
- Performance gears
- LED lights
- Remote control landing pad
- Designer skins for the drone and controller
- Neck strap
Earn money as a Drone Pilot
There are businesses, entrepreneurs or other individuals who may need drones but do not want to buy one or want to learn how to fly one. This represents an opportunity to make money by becoming a trained and experienced drone pilot. Read the article How to Earn Money as a Drone Pilot.
Set up a drone repair shop.
Drones can crash; hit trees or other objects and break down. Drones can also have original parts that don’t work as they should such as faulty transmitters. One big opportunity for small businesses is to open a repair shop for drones. You can choose to have a storefront or open a repair shop online where customers mail their drones to you for repair.
Be sure that you have drone technicians, access to the software needed to run drones, and an inventory of stocked parts. Clarify the types and models of drones that you can fix, turnaround time, service fees and what’s included in the fees, the cost of the replacement parts, and other charges. Be professional and courteous in handling customer issues and clarify expectations of when their drones can be fixed. If you are out of the spare parts needed, check if the customer is willing to buy that part and have it shipped to you so it can be put into their drones.
Create an information website on drones.
You can also be the online destination of those looking for news, tips, and information on drones. Create an information website that will be the online hub of those who have keen interest, knowledge, and passion for drones.
You can then earn money with your information website through advertising, affiliate programs, paid online content, content licensing and syndication. Read the article How to Make Money from an Information Website
Write books or e-books on drones.
You can also choose to earn money by packaging together with your tips or information to drone hobbyists and other users into e-books or books. If you have an information website, a natural offshoot would be to package the content of the site into an ebook.
Do a search on Amazon to see the kinds of books available on drones. A cursory search shows a number of books targeting the beginners, such as:
- Quadcopters and Drones: A Beginner’s Guide to Successfully Flying and Choosing the Right Drone
- Building Your Own Drones: A Beginners’ Guide to Drones, UAVs, and ROVs
- The Droner’s Guide: From Beginner to Professional
- Learn to Fly a Drone: An Inter-active Beginner’s Guide How to Fly a UAS
Pay attention to the comments on the existing books to see what readers are looking for but find missing in the available books or ebooks. This little exercise can give you ideas of what you can write about in order to find an untapped niche in the book marketplace.
Offer products or services supporting the drone industry.
Another way to earn money is to start a business that provides products or services that support drone users.
One example is the company Information Processing Systems of California that markets mobile control centers to control and monitor drones. They are selling vans equipped with security cameras, sensors, radar and communication infrastructure outfitted with trailers to carry drones. Their target market, however, includes law enforcement and rescue workers.
Set up a drone pilot boot camp.
Drone pilot training has existed for a long time in the military. As more and more civilians use the drone, there is a need for hands-on training that helps develop qualified non-military pilots. Instead of using the drone for military tasks as surveillance, the civilian pilot training should focus on developing an understanding of drones as applied to civilian uses. Given that the regulations for civilian uses of drones are still in its infancy, there really are no testing standards for drone pilots.
The Unmanned Vehicle University in Virginia offers Drone/UAV Pilot Training Certificate, which consists of three phases: web-based ground school, PC-based simulator and hands-on flight training. In addition, the course covers the technical aspects of how drone works, existing regulations governing drones, commercial opportunities and technologies being worked on.
The Homeland Surveillance and Electronics LLC in Colorado offers civilian/commercial UAV pilot training focusing on how to use drones for businesses involved in farming, real estate, aerial photography, construction, news media, among others.
Create an online drone training course.
Instead of a hands-on personal coaching, you can instead package an online training course. One example is UAV Coach http://learn.uavcoach.com/ which offers an $89 online course designed for beginner drone users and those who intends to make money as a pro drone pilot.
Create and earn money from videos
You can also make money by creating videos taken by your drone, or videos of you playing with your drones. There are a number of drone models that are equipped and set up with a video camera. While some of these drones are less than $100, you need to invest in drones with excellent cameras if you want to use that as your money maker.
For ideas of what videos you can produce, here are some of the topics of the drone videos currently on Youtube:
- Lists – e.g. Drones you need to have with [insert feature here such as “camera”]
- Amazing things drones can do
- Amazing footages taken by drones – e.g. drone shark footage
- Latest models in the market (e.g. world’s smallest drone)
- Drones in your travels – e.g. using a submarine drone in Caribbean
- The inane – drone pranks, miniature drone race, drone fails
- Reviews of drones
- Tests of drones
You can then sell your video footages, or post them on Youtube and earn advertising money. For ideas on how you earn make money from videos created with drones, read the article 8 Ways to Earn Money from Online Videos.
Drone delivery service
One of the best commercial uses of drones is delivery of products. Amazon.com has announced plans to use drones to deliver their packages through its program Amazon Prime Air. Domino’s Pizza in United Kingdom has released a video testing the delivery of pizzas using specially-created drones. While the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has not approved using drones for delivery, big businesses such as Amazon have been campaigning to get approved.
But there are small businesses who are at the cutting edge and have been testing the use of drones to deliver products. Take for example Manayunk Cleaners in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Its owner, a drone-enthusiast, converted his drone to carry dry cleaned shirts. It takes two people to operate the drone (spotter and a pilot), which then delivers the shirt to the customer. Uploading the video of the stunt generated significant buzz to the dry cleaning business.
Sell photographic images and stock photos.
You can make money from selling stock photos of drones as well as images taken by drones. There are many types of drones equipped with cameras, and there are good ones that can take exceptional photos. Drone photography has come a long way that even National Geographic sponsored a drone photography contest covering different categories such as nature, places and “dronies” or selfies from an aerial view.
Provide drones on demand
Another way to earn money is to create a marketplace where you offer drones for short term or special projects, as well as to do specific tasks. You will offer drones for rent together with experienced pilots to maneuver the drones and operate them safely. A company called Skycatch https://www.skycatch.com/workmode/ has a program called Workmode that bills itself as “Uber for drones” where users and businesses can rent drones and experienced pilots. Drones can also be useful in a construction project, such as overseeing how quickly work is being done, checking to see if the project is on schedule or even monitoring how much dirt has been removed from the construction site.
Create a marketplace for drone enthusiasts.
You can create a place where drone hobbyists and congregate and do buy and sell parts, services, and other items. Do something like a Craigslist, but focusing on drones! This could be an online destination where users can sell their older drone models, as well as those looking to buy second-hand models of drones.
The best part about drones? They are still so new that we may probably be doing things that we don’t know it could today. So keep your eyes open for new opportunities from drones!

When Orville and Wilbur Wright flew for the first time in 1903 they probably didn’t realize the impact their breakthrough would have on the human race. The reason I say this is that their framework of reference was limited to what they knew of at the time. I wonder if they realized that what they did would open the doors for supersonic flight, space flight, landing a man on the moon (65 years later) or landing on Mars.
Flight – Then
Considering what Orville and Wilbur knew at the time, it is astounding to imagine their determination in the face of absolute skepticism and social apathy. On 10 February 1906, the New York Herald (Paris Edition) did an editorial on the Wright brothers that seemed to encompass the mood of Europe at the time:
The Wrights have flown or they have not flown. They possess a machine or they do not possess one. They are in fact either fliers or liars. It is difficult to fly. It’s easy to say, ‘We have flown.’
Their breakthrough wasn’t immediately celebrated as one would have thought. They had to work hard at what they invented and they had to keep on working hard to make it.
Flight – Today
Flight has evolved increasingly throughout the years. We now have air traffic control systems that control thousands of planes in the air at any one time. Just have a look at the video below by NATS that was compiled from real flight data and shows air traffic on a summer day in Europe. I can imagine that the systems put in place to control all those planes are very sophisticated. That is obvious. What is even more incredible is that a bit more than 100 years ago, there were only birds in the sky. If you want to watch real-time flight data, go to flightradar24. | aerospace |

Coordinate System: TODEq with Origin Mars
And then compare the coordinate system related angles RAAN and INC in MJ2000Eq and TODeq with Origin Mars, e.g. with a Report file. The values in these two coordinate systems are almost identical.

It is a great pleasure to be here today in Alaska to testify, along with Secretary Mineta and Regional Administrator Poe. The aviation community here has demonstrated a strong commitment to safety.
I believe we in the FAA have a good news story to tell about improvements in aviation safety in recent years, and an even better story to tell about Alaska aviation capstone program essay efforts to expand and build upon the successes already achieved.
Today I would like to highlight a few areas of interest to the Committee: Every decision we make is with the safety of the flying public in mind. Let me begin this morning by describing how serious the FAA is in pursuing the goal of increased aviation safety Alaska aviation capstone program essay Alaska.
When I first came to the FAA, we put in place a strategic business plan — we call it our Flight Plan — with specific objectives and performance targets.
It is noteworthy because no other state was listed individually, only Alaska. When someone in a village is ill and needs medical attention, they will most likely be transported to the hospital via aircraft.
As an essential mode of everyday transportation, aviation must be a safe mode. Clearly, a focused, dedicated, multifaceted, approach to improving aviation safety in Alaska was needed.
I am happy to say the approach we are taking, one that represents the collective efforts of aviators, the State of Alaska, and the FAA, is working. The most promising initiative with potential for broad application to a range of hazards, including terrain, other airborne traffic, and weather, is the Capstone demonstration program in the Alaska Region.
Capstone is a technology-focused safety program in Alaska that seeks near term safety and efficiency gains in aviation by accelerating implementation and use of modern technology, in both avionics and ground system infrastructure. Capstone Phase I, which began inincluded the installation of government-furnished Global Positioning System GPS driven avionics suites in commercial aircraft serving the region around Bethel, Alaska, known as the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Region YK Deltaconsisting of oversquare miles.
The weather data is displayed on the same multifunction cockpit display used for the ADS-B display of traffic, and for terrain data. Capstone equipped aircraft have had a consistently lower accident rate than non-equipped aircraft.
From throughthe rate of accidents for Capstone-equipped aircraft dropped significantly--by 47 percent. Also, the rate of accidents for Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Region-based air carriers has been falling sinceand is now at the lowest rate since Historically, the rate of air taxi accidents within the YK Delta has been two to four times the rest of Alaska, but in the accident rate for the region was below the rest of the state for the first time.
That is real progress. Also as part of Phase II, additional technology infrastructure will be deployed.
RNAV procedures provide flight path guidance incorporated in taxi procedures, with minimal instructions required during departure by air traffic controllers.
RNP is on-board technology that promises to add to capacity by allowing pilots to fly more direct point-to-point routes reliably and accurately.
Key benefits of RNAV and RNP include more efficient use of airspace, with improved flight profiles, resulting in significant fuel efficiencies to the airlines.
Aircraft avionics equipage is key to an accelerated implementation strategy; therefore Capstone will continue to pursue affordable avionics so that aircraft owners will have a range of choices appropriate to their operational needs. This includes both creating options for equipage and a strategy to ensure that all aircraft in Alaska are equipped.
In addition to technology improvements, the FAA has also undertaken safety management and training efforts in partnership with the aviation community here to increase safety awareness and reduce aircraft accidents.
In joint efforts with the Medallion Foundation, a non-profit aviation safety organization that provides management resources, training and support to the Alaskan aviation community, the FAA is funding a program known as the Five Star Shield program, which is an enhanced safety management system.
The Medallion Five Star Shield program takes a business-like approach to safety, providing for the setting of goals as well as planning and measuring performance in specific areas through the use of system safety concepts. The program is voluntary, and focuses on establishing and sustaining an elevated level of safety performance through: To earn the First Star, each air carrier must establish a safety program which, at a minimum, should include safety meetings and audits, the use of root-cause analysis, hazard identification, incident investigations, and a viable emergency response plan.
The Five Star program also requires a classroom training program for pilots, mechanics and ground service personnel, as well as required training on a PC-based computer simulator. Two annual check rides are required to receive this second Star, and annual pilot proficiency check rides are required to keep the Star.
The Third Star involves operational risk management. A dynamic system that provides analytical tools as well as a system of checks and balances to proactively identify hazards and manage risks is required.
The carrier must have an operational risk management system that quantifies the risks for each flight, including weather, airport, and crew readiness.
The total risk score determines if the flight is conducted normally, if more management evaluation is required for release of the flight, or if the flight is cancelled. The Fourth Star concerns maintenance and ground service operations, requiring specific training and manning levels.
The Fifth Star is an internal audit program, which requires incorporation of a proactive internal audit system that focuses on the use of systems safety principles, as well as regulatory compliance.
This is a comprehensive audit program requirement intended to allow the operator to continuously monitor their operating systems and provide for continuous improvement. Medallion has specific detailed requirements. Once an applicant has received all five Stars, and passed an independent audit, they may be certified for the Medallion Shield, which is attested to by a decal displayed on the aircraft, and can be used on uniforms and promotional materials.
In order to maintain shield status, the operator must successfully pass an audit each year.Assessment of Advanced Cockpit Displays for General Aviation Aircraft – The Capstone Program Kevin W. Williams1, Alan Yost2, Jeff Holland3, & Robert R.

As an environmental science major, good news hasn’t typically been very high on my radar. The awe and wonder of science from my childhood has now been replaced with fear and trembling about the existential threat of climate change, and more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. When planning this column, I envisioned a focus on the big issues that are at the forefront of my mind day in and day out. Upon further inspection, I came to the realization that this may not be what we want—or need—right now. As such, I want to use this space to focus on something positive happening in the world of science and technology. I believe that we are in great need of distinct spaces where hope for the future may flourish. I hope that this column can be one of those spaces.
For my first week in the “Good News” from Science & Technology column, I would like to highlight the Mars Perseverance rover. A rover is a small vehicle designed for the purpose of moving across planetary surfaces for the purposes of exploration and data collection. NASA announced back in March 2020 that the new rover would be named Perseverance which was submitted to NASA’s “Name the Rover” essay contest by seventh grader Alexander Mather. Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA, commented on the name in a press release from NASA, saying, “Alex’s entry captured the spirit of exploration. Like every exploration mission before, our rover is going to face challenges, and it’s going to make amazing discoveries… That inspiring work will always require perseverance. We can’t wait to see that nameplate on Mars.” Just weeks after NASA announced the name of the new Martian rover, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed its full scale. Perseverance is the perfect name for this feat of science and exploration in the chaos of 2020.
Perseverance launched on July 30, 2020 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The estimated landing date on Mars is February 18, 2021. The primary work of the rover will be to “seek signs of ancient life and to collect samples of rock and soil for a possible return to earth.” More notable than Perseverance itself is what it is carrying with it to Mars: a helicopter called Ingenuity. Ingenuity will be attempting the first-ever powered flight on another planet. Flying requires far more power on Mars than on Earth because Mars’ atmosphere has less than 1% of the density of Earth’s atmosphere. Since atmospheric density is directly proportional to lift (the mechanical aerodynamic force that makes flight possible), the lower the atmospheric density, the less lift the aircraft will be capable of, and the more difficult flight becomes. Ingenuity will provide not only aerial vantage points for study of the Martian terrain but also information about terrestrial flight on Mars, which will be key in preparing for the first crewed mission to Mars taking place in the next decade.
While it may seem trivial to be excited about sending a tiny helicopter to Mars in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, we should care about this mission because Perseverance gives us an opportunity to hope for a future in which science is about exploration instead of survival. We can hope that life will go on, that humanity will progress, that one day someone will set foot on alien soil. I believe that the perseverance of humankind through calamity is due partially to the God-given gift of our capacity to dream. When Perseverance lands on the surface of the red planet in February, it will be an occasion for all of us to celebrate a victory of human tenacity and triumph.

Newly released images from Mars show a depression left by a giant flying insect.
The bug is more than 100 meter in size. Although there is so far no indication for a sting, the bee-like appearance has caused concern. The sting from such an insect could easily penetrate the Musk Mars dome.
It appears to be a burrowing insect and chemicals are being developed to sterilize the ground around the Habitat. Imidacloprid is the preferred chemical, as it has been shown to be effective against bees.
The bug is believed to be carnivorous, and member of the order of Asteroidea. | aerospace |

For that question, we turn to Alec Schlonik, co-founder and CEO of LiquidPiston, a Connecticut based company that is revolutionizing next-generation engine development. The company develops and licenses compact & efficient power solutions based on an optimized thermodynamic cycle and a new type of rotary engine architecture. The patented high-efficiency cycle is the biggest leap forward in combustion engine technology over the last 85 years, and holds great promise as the preferred future propulsion solution for both military and heavy commercial drones. Alec has a PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from MIT, and has spent a decade-plus reinventing the rotary engine that Felix Wankel created in 1960 and Mazda is bringing back to life in 2019. In this edition of the Drone Radio Show, Alec talks about Liquid Piston, it’s revolutionary engine and the potential value and impact on the military and commercial UAV sectors.
In This Episode
- Introduction. Alec Shkolnik is co-founder and C.E.O. of liquid piston, a company that is developing a new kind of rotary diesel combustion engine that can power UAV systems. The company was incorporated in 2004. In 2007, the company got a small army contract , they were awarded a small business innovation research grant and then some venture capital unding. Since then, the company has been refining the design of their engines.
- Entry Into The UAV Space. Liquid Piston has always focused on smaller engines, and it was looking at smaller engine applications. That’s one the reasons for entering the UAV space. Energy and power are fundamentally limiting items for anything mobile and especially something like a UAV, which has to carry its own weight and the weight of its propulsion system. Smaller drones can capitalize on electric systems, but for larger commercial and military drones the batteries are not very energy dense. Consider that 50 lbs of battery can be displaced by just one pound of fuel. It made sense for Liquid Piston to look at how their engines can be used.
- Market Focus. Liquid Piston is concentrating on the military sector, as it has an immediate need for heavy fueled propulsion systems. The military is restricted to using ____ fuel, which also limits propulsion options. It is seeking more powerful and efficient alternatives. Two engines are currently in development, a large engine funded by DARPA and a smaller version. The smaller engine was placed in a “go cart” to demonstrate its capability. For other applications, the engines are suitable for any application that requires larger payloads or longer durations.
- Benefits. Liquid Piston’s engine much smaller and lighter than typical combustion engines, so it can lighten the weight of a vehicle significantly. This can increase payload size and/or duration of flight. For surveillance missions, that could reduce the amount of drones in the air, directly translating into cost savings.
- Engine Simplicity. There are two primary moving parts in the Liquid Piston engine – a rotor and a shaft. As a rotary engine, there’s no oscillating mass caused by pistons moving back and forth. The engine behaves like a three cylinder four stroke engine. There’s much less vibration, lower noise and greater efficiency.
- Current Status. The engines are still in development. Later this year, Liquid Piston hopes to conduct a demonstration of the technology. That would involve a low altitude flight test of the engine on a simple platform. The company will continue to work with government and partners on maturing the technology and identifying the key applications it will support.
- The Thermodynamic Cycle. Alex discusses how the thermodynamic cycle of the Liquid Piston engine is more efficient that gasoline or diesel cycles. The latest engine architecture has just two moving parts (the rotor and the shaft), and it has a total of five gas seals. Compare this to a typical 3-cylinder four stroke engine, which might have hundreds of parts and several seals. The design results in a thermodynamic efficiency of about 75% which is much more efficient than a traditional auto or diesel cycle.
- Advice To Entrepreneurs. Alec’s advice to other entrepreneurs is just because something seems impossible or others may think that it is impossible, just keep going and solve the problem. That’s what successful game changing innovators do.
- Closing. Alex believes that Liquid Piston has a solution that provides the power and energy requirements for future applications that are not possible with current technology. He looks forward to demonstrating the technology and very excited to be a part of this space.

We opened our doors in Northwest Ohio not long before our nation entered World War II and have been lighting the way for our customers – including America’s military and NASA’s space program – ever since.
As one of the largest flashlight manufacturers in the nation, Fulton produces a complete line of heavy-duty models for industrial, consumer, government and military use.
That work began in 1941 when we manufactured our first right angle-headed “GI Flashlight” for American soldiers. With only slight modifications, that same flashlight is still the only one of its kind issued to every member of the U.S. military today.
That patriotic legacy continued during the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union. NASA engineers knew they needed a strong, durable penlight for moon-bound astronauts and turned to Fulton to craft them.
“When Neil Armstrong took his first steps on the lunar surface, we are proud to say he had a brass Fulton penlight with him,” David Brinegar, President and CEO.
“Yes, we’re a small-town company … but we’ve literally been to the moon and back. In fact, some of our lights still lay in their final resting place on the surface of the moon.”
Expertise gained in the manufacture of flashlights also made us specialists in deep drawn stampings and assembly work. In these areas, we serve the automotive and appliance industries. Most of our customers are Fortune 1000 companies.
Through the decades, our talented UAW workforce has remained committed to safety and excellence no matter the product. We pride ourselves in developing strong customer relationships and providing products and services that exceed expectations.
“We look forward to lighting the way for our country and our customers for years to come,” said Jim Bauman, Sales Manager. | aerospace |

Speaking with newsmen in Zaria, Kaduna state, Mr Abdulsalam, however, said that the spate of unemployment of young pilots was not peculiar to Nigeria alone.
“The issue of unemployment of pilots is not common to Nigeria.
“As you know, NCAT is a council member of Association of African Approved Training Organisation, AAATO.
“We hold two council meetings a year and at every meeting, we discuss pilots’ unemployment. Some countries have different requirements for pilots.
“In a lot of these countries, you need to have certain requirements or experience as a pilot before you can fly in the airline industry.
“For instance, in the United States, you need to have a minimum of 1,500 hours as a pilot before you can fly and join the likes of United and American Airlines and others,” he said.
Mr Abdulsalam noted that when pilots graduated from the training school, they were expected to join commuter airlines before going into general aviation.
The rector said that some of them stayed to work in the flying school as instructors and build their experience to get the required hours before they are qualified to get the required hours to work in airline industry.
He said the same thing applied to South Africa, in which the pilot needed to have the same number of flying hours.
He said that unfortunately Nigeria did not have the qualified requirements but the airlines on their own might had certain requirements based on their own procedures and manuals.
“The airlines may have the need for a certain experience for their brands of aircraft for insurance purposes before they can employ their pilots.
“From time, the practice has always been that when they finish from school, they will be qualified to fly the type of aircraft that we are flying here.
“So, when they go to look for work, as long as it is the same aircraft brand they get, they will not need additional training.
“But, if it is another brand of aircraft, they have to go for type-training,” he said.
The rector said that it was not possible for the college to provide simulators that would provide training for all the types of aircraft in the industry.
He said this was because simulators were very expensive, adding that they needed to operate them for almost 24 hours for the college to recover the investment.
On the use of expatriate pilots, Mr Abdulsalam said the government’s policy was that as long as a qualified Nigerian was on ground, it would not approve a foreigner to do the job in Nigeria.
The rector, however, explained that if an airline introduced new equipment, there might not be local pilots to operate that equipment then to bridge the gap, the airline have to bring in qualified expatriate to start utilising the aircraft.
“For instance, Air Peace bought a number of Embraer 45 and before then very few Embraer 45 were flying in Nigeria, which meant that very few Nigerians had that type-rating.
“A number of that aircraft were parked because we had no pilots. So, the airline had to bring a number of foreigners from abroad to fly the planes till such a time their own people they were training would be qualified to take over.
“It is a common practice in the industry,” he said. | aerospace |

Lows „Aerial Target“ in 1916. Low confirmed that Geoffrey de Havilland was the only one flying under control with his radio system on March 21, 1917. Nikola Tesla described 1915 a fleet of unmanned air combat vehicles. Progress followed during and after the First World War, including the British Hewitt-Sperry Automatic Airplane (1917) and the RAE Larynx (1927). These developments also inspired the construction of Charles Kettering`s Kettering Bug in Dayton, Ohio. Originally designed as an unmanned aircraft, which would carry an explosive payload to a predetermined target. The first scale remote control vehicle was developed in 1935 by movie star and model enthusiast Reginald Denny. During the Second World War, there were others, both to train aviation advocates and to fly attack missions. Nazi Germany produced and used several drone planes during the war, such as the Argus As 292 and the V-1 flying bomb with a jet engine. After World War II, development continued in vehicles such as the American JB-4 (using the TV/radio control), the Australian GAF Jindivik and teledyne Ryan Firebee I of 1951, while companies such as Beechcraft proposed their 1001 model for the U.S. Navy in 1955.
Yet, until the Vietnam War, they were little more than remote-controlled aircraft. In April 2014, South Africa`s civil aviation authority announced that it would tackle the illegal theft of drones in South African airspace. „Amateur drones“ weighing less than 7 kg at altitudes below 500 m with reduced visibility below the height of the highest obstacle within 300 m of the UAV are permitted. No license is required for these vehicles. So far, the endurance of small aircraft is the best thing to do with flapping wing vehicles, followed by aircraft and multi-roters coming in last place due to the small number of Reynolds. A UAV is defined as „a powered aircraft that does not carry a human operator, provides aerodynamic forces, provides elevators, can fly autonomously or can be flown remotely, can be consumable or recoverable, and can withstand a lethal or non-lethal payload.“ Therefore, missiles are not considered drones because the vehicle itself is a weapon that is not reused, even though it is unmanned and, in some cases, remotely controlled. In addition, UAV is a term often used in cases of military use. The term unmanned aircraft system (UAS) was adopted in 2005 by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, in accordance with its 2005-2030 roadmap. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority have adopted the term, which is also used in the European Union`s Air Traffic Management Roadmap (ATM) Research (SESAR Joint Undertaking) for 2020. This term emphasizes the meaning of elements other than the aircraft.
It includes items such as ground control stations, data connections and other support devices. | aerospace |

Cherry Point will receive about one third of a $10 million contract in support of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Insitu Inc., of Bingen, Wash., has been awarded the $10,056,486 contract in support of the RQ-21A Blackjack, a new unmanned aircraft system, according to the federal registry.
The contract will be divided between Cherry Point, which will receive 35 percent, and Yuma, Ariz., which will receive 35 percent. Work is also expected in, Bingen, Wash., and Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii.
“Marine Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron 2 will use the funds for logistics, training, data reporting and field representative support,” said Lt. Maida Zheng, of the Cherry Point Public Affairs Office.
The money for the contract comes from Fiscal 2016 procurement funds for the Marine Corps by Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md.
“This year, the RQ-21A Blackjack from VMU-2 will support its first-ever deployment with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit stationed in Camp Lejeune,” said Zheng. “The RQ-21A Blackjack brings the Marine Expeditionary Force and the Marine Expeditionary Units a dedicated system capable of supporting multiple aviation missions, such as aerial reconnaissance.”
According to the 2016 Marine Aviation Plan, the RQ-21A Blackjack “enhances the capabilities of MEU and regimental-sized units by providing a long endurance, expeditionary, multi-mission platform that is shipboard capable.”
The system can operate from land-based forward operating bases and “will increase battlespace awareness and influence of the electromagnetic spectrum.”
The Blackjack can carry a variety of payloads, many of which are still in development.
VMU-2 is familiar with the Blackjack. The squadron received three in 2015. This year, the number is to double to six, part of a multi-year transition to the Blackjack through 2024.
The Blackjack is propeller-powered and launched from a large trailer-mounted slingshot and recovered by a cable. With a wingspan of 16 feet, the Blackjack has a range of 50 nautical miles and an operating ceiling of 19,000 feet, according to the Marine Corps. It can operate at day or night, can capture full motion video, uses electro-optical and infrared cameras, use a laser rangefinder and can operate as a communications relay, among other uses.
VMU-2 is part of a growing number of Marine Corps units using unmanned aerial vehicles.
It was announced Monday that VMU-2 had won the John I. Hudson Award for VMU Squadron of the Year by the Marine Corps Aviation Association. The award will be presented with other Marine Corps aviation awards at the organization’s symposium in New Bern in May.
VMU-2 is part of Marine Air Group 14, part of the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, based at Cherry Point. | aerospace |

Feb 4 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Management and the U.S. Nationwide Transportation Protection Board are investigating an aborted touchdown in Austin, Texas, on Saturday morning by means of a FedEx (FDX.N) shipment airplane that were set to land on a runway on which a Southwest Airways (LUV.N) jet used to be additionally cleared to go away from, the companies stated.
The 2 planes got here as regards to colliding when the FedEx airplane used to be compelled to overfly the Southwest airplane to steer clear of a crash, two assets briefed at the topic advised Reuters.
“In a while prior to the FedEx plane used to be because of land, the controller cleared Southwest Flight 708 to go away from the similar runway,” the Federal Aviation Management (FAA) stated.
The NTSB one after the other stated it used to be investigating “a imaginable runway incursion and overflight involving airplanes from Southwest Airways and FedEx.”
The incident took place in deficient visibility stipulations in Austin. The FAA stated FedEx Categorical Flight 1432, a Boeing 767 shipment airplane, which had departed from Memphis, used to be cleared to land on Runway 18-Left round 6:40 a.m. whilst the plane used to be a number of miles from the airport. The Southwest airplane had now not but departed when the FedEx airplane used to be nearing the runway.

“The pilot of the FedEx plane discontinued the touchdown and initiated a climb out,” the FAA stated.
It used to be now not transparent exactly how shut the 2 airplanes got here to colliding, however flight monitoring web page information recommended they got here very shut.
The Cancun, Mexico-bound Southwest flight, a Boeing 737-700, safely departed and landed at 9:47 a.m. ET.
Southwest declined to remark. FedEx stated its flight “safely landed after encountering an match,” however declined additional remark as a result of the continued investigations.
The NTSB and FAA are investigating some other contemporary near-miss runway incident.
On Jan. 13, a Delta Air Strains (DAL.N) airplane got here to a secure prevent at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport after air visitors controllers spotted a Boeing 777 had crossed from an adjoining taxiway.
The FAA stated the Delta Boeing 737 stopped its takeoff roll roughly 1,000 ft prior to attaining the purpose the place American Airways (AAL.O) Flight 106 had crossed.

You can use the same operator ID for all your drones and model aircraft. Some suggested changes to your section above with the title “Here are the most important rules you need to know to fly a drone in the UK?” To explain the different types of drones, I will divide them into 3 categories for you. The amendment to the air traffic control regulation requires owners of drones weighing 250 grams or more to register with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and drone pilots to pass an online safety test to ensure UK airspace is protected from irresponsible aircraft. But what are the UK laws governing this exciting way of using drones? If your drone or model aircraft weighs 20kg or more, you should always have liability insurance, regardless of how you use it. Your drone should not be flown within 150 meters by a large group of people such as a concert or sporting event, as you can be sued and only need permission to fly a recreational drone in the United States if you plan to use it in restricted airspace. And the FAA recommends that you review and follow all local laws and regulations before flying over private property. “We are therefore particularly pleased with the Ministry of Transportation`s commitment to accessible online testing to help drone users comply with the law. I also worry about anyone starting with this drone in the world of FPV drones, as it can create bad habits. Flying an FPV drone has nothing to do with a regular drone, in fact, you are closer to FPV drones with non-GPS drones than anything else on the market. So follow the law and fly responsibly – and enjoy the thrill that comes with FPV drone operations. Before flying to Washington DC or other high-security areas, you should first check with intelligence and/or a regulatory body. But in most cases, you will not be admitted.
Just a warning. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also bans drones in marine protected areas. It is even illegal to fly your drone in or around a forest firefighter. Want to get an idea of what kind of footage you can fly with a drone in the UK? Here we go: The Mavic 3 Enterprise is DJI`s new compact and lightweight solution for drone surveying. Read our in-depth comparison between the Mavic 3E and the DJI Phantom 4 RTK and find out why the Mavic 3 Enterprise is a more efficient drone mapping solution. Do you know anything we don`t know about drone laws in the UK? Email us at support[at]uavcoach[dot]com. We are not international aviation advocates and do our best to keep this page up to date for drone pilots, but the reality is that, given the pace of the small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) industry and the response from governments, drone regulation in the UK may change over the course of the year, And these changes can be difficult to track. If we missed something, please contact us to let us know. If your drone doesn`t have a class marker by January 2023, you can fly it in the following categories: As for the open category (for less risky operations), the new regulations allow FPV pilots to fly without direct visual contact with the drone – provided they are accompanied by an observer who maintains direct eye contact with the drone. The full rules you need to know can be found on the Drone and Model Aircraft Registration and Education System (DMARES) webpages. You must pass this test before you can fly your drone outdoors.
There are some exceptions, which are described in detail on the DMARES pages. In this situation, the drone, which must weigh less than 25 kg, must not exceed 500 meters horizontally from the remote pilot, and: Members of the Association of Drone and Model Aircraft Clubs enjoy greater flexibility for FPV flights and drone racing. Of course, many quadcopters fly much higher than CAA`s 400-foot limit, and of course, it`s hard to tell if a drone flew 500 meters from you horizontally. Nevertheless, there is this handy PDF that you can download to remember the rules. And with that, the rules become more detailed when you read the CAA literature: The Place No. 1 where you can`t fly a drone in the US is an airport. You must be at least five miles away to operate without informing the control tower of your activity. If you wish to fly closer, you must inform the airport operator or air traffic control tower. If you`re worried about whether you`re too close to an airport to fly, use an app like AirMap to see where you`re allowed to fly. An FPV drone is ultimately designed to be small, light and very fast. This type of drone is usually as raw as drone flight can be.
It`s fun, challenging, but extremely rewarding. Unlike traditional drones, you would fly in first person, as if you were playing a racing game or prefer to drive a real car. You become a part of the drone and not just someone on the ground looking up and seeing your drone flying through the clouds. Well, it might be a bit hard to say since I haven`t flown one yet, but all the images generated by this drone are too fluid, stable and I dare say predictable. I don`t have the same intense feeling when I look at the DJI FPV drone footage as I would with my own FPV drone. Part of owning an FPV drone is oddly having to fix it when you fly it in a house. I know this from my own experience! Drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) or quadcopters, are a type of aircraft without a human pilot on board. They are controlled by a ground operator.
Drones have gained popularity in recent years and are now used for military operations, aerial inspections, delivery and shipping, photography, etc. In this guide, we`ll focus on recreational drones. See the general rules listed above. Visit the CAA website, which deals specifically with the use of recreational drones. Unmanned recreational aircraft in the UK Initially, the CAA website listed all drones as “small unmanned aerial vehicles” and it was difficult to determine what rules applied to your drone, especially if you owned a modern, professional quadcopter. Now, however, there`s a new website just for drones. Based on our research and interpretation of the laws, here are the most important rules for flying a drone in the UK. The new regulation also includes geolocation, which involves programming no-fly zones in recreational drones. | aerospace |

Optimistic. Wife. First Daughter. Christian. PhD Candidate. Employee. Nigerian. British. Canadian PR. International Affairs Expert. Lawyer. Outer Space and Aviation Geek. Spokesperson and Advocate. Aspiring Entrepreneur. Award Winner.
What do I do: Writer. Speaker. Researcher. Consultant. Formulate Ideas and think outside the box.
Where do I do it: Based in Montreal, Quebec Canada, I am a consultant at the leading space consultancy Euroconsult. I am a PhD Candidate at McGill University and I love to write, anywhere! You know what they say, “Publish or Peril!” I come up with new ideas for a range of things from creating events and workshops, to setting up blogs to helping people with University and grant applications. I started speaking before the age of 2 and seem to be pretty good at it, so I’m told otherwise I guess people would stop inviting me to speak and present my ideas! Besides Canada, I have also worked in Nigeria, France, United Kingdom and on United Nations projects so I think I qualify to call myself a global worker!
Why do I do it: Much to my husband’s frustration, I wake up with a new idea everyday…”Are you sure you can add another thing to your plate?” he says…Undoubtedly, 24 hours in the day is not enough and not every idea is implementable, but I wake up each day feeling blessed, optimistic and thankful that I can take in another breath with my loved ones around me. This drives me to use every single God given talent I have to try to make an impact in the world, one word at a time!

By Rachel Courtland CLAIMS that Mars’s atmosphere contains methane, which have fuelled speculations that the planet hosts life, may be premature. A key piece of evidence for methane on Mars may actually be due to Earth-based methane, warn researchers led by Kevin Zahnle of NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. “This is not a done deal,” says Zahnle, despite a widespread perception that methane has been found on the Red Planet. The clearest evidence for methane on Mars came in 2009 from a team led by Michael Mumma at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, | aerospace |

The Federal Aviation Administration has developed regulations that enable airports to host operations of reusable launch vehicles that take off and land like aircraft. Several kinds of such vehicles are currently under development. The study will examine the feasibility of hosting spaceport operations, as well as the infrastructure needs and potential economic benefits of such operations.
“Determining the feasibility to launch spacecraft from Stennis International Airport represents a significant growth opportunity to expand Hancock County’s role in the space industry. Space is not new to Hancock County, home of NASA’s John C. Stennis Space Center, the nation’s largest rocket engine testing facility. The industry is poised for dynamic growth, and Hancock County is uniquely positioned to benefit from this growth,” said HCPHC’s CEO Bill Cork.
“Developing airports to be able to host operations of launch vehicles promises to bring down the cost of launching payloads into space tremendously,” said Ken Ibold, Senior Aviation Consultant for RS&H and the firm’s Project Manager for spaceport development at airports. “Stennis is a great candidate for a Launch Site Operator License because it is surrounded by compatible land and the community is so rooted in the space age.”
The study will help the HCPHC to identify potential users for the Airport in addition to traditional aircraft. Other activities may include unmanned aerial systems and other aerospace development.
Situated near the Gulf of Mexico, and with more than 1,500 acres of land readily available for development, Stennis International Airport features many of the attributes associated with a licensed spaceport. The Stennis area is considered to be a viable location due to the presence of a strong technology-savvy workforce associated with the NASA Stennis facility. | aerospace |

Amazon plans to start providing service by the top of subsequent yr.
Elon Musk’s SpaceX has an enormous head begin over Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos, who has his personal rocket firm, Blue Origin.
SpaceX flew its first check Starlink satellites in 2018 and the primary operational satellites in 2019. It has since launched greater than 5,000 Starlinks from Florida and California, utilizing its personal Falcon rockets.
Europe’s Eutelsat OneWeb is also launching web satellites, with round 600 in orbit.
Amazon initially agreed to place the satellites on the debut launch of ULA’s Vulcan rocket. However with the Vulcan grounded by issues till not less than the top of this yr, Amazon switched to the long-established Atlas V.

Nothing like reading a sentence that combines all four of those and then spending a few tense hours at several thousand feet staring out the windows trying to work out if the wing normally wobbles that much.
Books that should never appear in airport booksellers (that I have actually see stocked) include all the various “air crash investigations” series, any of the 4 books I have seen with “air disaster” in their title and – of course – Alive, the infamous story of 16 blokes crashed in the Andes eating the unthinkable, which will not only put you off flying but right off your inflight meal.
Ideally in-flight books should be diverting enough to distract you from the plane, not remind you you’re on one. So you would imagine that reading Qf32: The Captain’s Extraordinary Account Of How One Of The World’s Worst Air Disasters Was Averted by Qantas pilot Richard De Crespigny would be right out.
But as near-disaster stories go, it’s a very reassuring one, and this is down in no small measure to the calm and clear explanations of what does happen onboard when things start to go badly wrong. And Richard should know. He was the captain on what should have been a routine long-haul flight from Singapore to Sydney, piloting one of Qantas’s new A380 aircraft. It should have been a routine flight but shortly after leaving Changi Airport, an explosion shattered engine 2, sending hundreds of pieces of shrapnel ripping through the wing and fuselage, and creating chaos as vital flight systems and back-ups were damaged or destroyed.
The flight, with nearly 500 people on board, had the potential to be one of history’s worst aviation disasters. Some advance reports even stated that the plane had crashed but the experienced flight crew, led by De Crespigny, managed to land and safely disembark their passengers after hours of nerve-wracking effort.
The book doesn’t just shed light on what happened on that flight. It follows Richard’s life and career, from his time with the RAAF through over 20 years and Qantas, and explains the skills and training of a top-level airline pilot. Richard clearly loves to fly and is confident in the air, but he’s sympathetic to those of us who aren’t, as he explained in an interview with Escape’s Doc Holiday.
I have and will always be sympathetic to nervous flyers; this is why the QF32 crew behaved the way they did, informing and debriefing the passengers. I can’t emphasise enough that the crew have extraordinary skills and are trained to look after you in the case of an emergency. Whatever the emergency, the pilots and crew in the good airlines have been trained for every contingency and you are in the best hands! They know what they are doing. They have been trained, they are knowledgeable and they will not panic.
And is he confident that training is backed up by safe planes? When should we be staring out the window at the wobbling wing and wondering.
Aboard the top world airlines: never. You are safer in the aircraft than you were driving to the airport.
So, thanks to this book, from here on in I’ll feel a little calmer in the air. Instead, I’ll be worrying while in the car Anyone got any recommended reading for when I’m not driving? | aerospace |

Now, some of those fragments will be put on display for museum-goers to observe firsthand.
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History will unveil the first public display of the asteroid sample on Friday, November 3. The museum, located in Washington, D.C., will be the first to offer eager space nerds a look at the pristine dark rocks and dust collected from asteroid Bennu.
The sample will be on display at the museum’s Janet Annenberg Hooker Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals meteorite gallery. The display will also include scale models of the OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft, on loan from Lockheed Martin, and the Atlas V 411 rocket that carried the spacecraft, on loan courtesy of United Launch Alliance.
“This exhibit is our first chance to share this incredible journey with the public,” Tim McCoy, the museum’s curator of meteorites who has worked on the OSIRIS-REx mission, said in an emailed statement.
Bennu is a small, near-Earth asteroid that makes a close pass to Earth every six years or so. Scientists believe Bennu might have broken off from a much larger carbon-rich asteroid about 700 million to 2 billion years ago, and drifted much closer to Earth since then.
The asteroid was selected as the target of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission, which landed on the near-Earth asteroid and snagged a rocky sample in October 2020. The OSIRIS-REx mission dropped off the asteroid samples in the Utah desert on September 24, from where it was transported to the Johnson Space Center where a curation team has been carefully trying to open the canister containing the bulk of the sample. This marked NASA’s first successful attempt to return samples from a distant asteroid (Japan brought back samples of asteroid Ryugu in 2020).
The team recently ran into trouble when two of 35 fasteners on the TAGSAM head, a round head that grabbed the sample from the asteroid, could not be removed. Luckily, there was an abundance of dust and rock on the outside of the TAGSAM head, and team members also managed to extract more of the sample using tweezers and a scoop. NASA is currently devising a plan to safely open the chamber door.
The asteroid samples extracted so far, however, already exceed the mission’s goal of collecting 60 grams of debris from the asteroid, according to NASA. To date, the space agency has recovered 2.48 ounces (70.3 grams) of rocks and dust. Early analysis of the sample found an abundance of carbon and water molecules, just the kind of stuff scientists were hoping to find on NASA’s first returned asteroid sample.
“Having now returned to Earth without being exposed to our water-rich atmosphere or the life that fills every corner of our planet, the samples of Bennu hold the promise to tell us about the water and organics before life came to form our unique planet,” McCoy said.

I did, on a hot air balloon flight at Gold Coast just over the recent Vesak day long weekend
Around 445am, we set off from Surfers Paradise and drove towards Canungra Tourist Information Centre, about 30 minutes away to meet up with the team of visitors going for the hot air balloon flight too.
Upon meeting the team, we parked and took a bus transfer to the flight ground. Most pilots prefer to fly either just after dawn or just before dusk, since these times offer cooler air and the calmest and most favorable wind conditions for hot air ballooning
After a short but comprehensive briefing, we were ready to board for our very first hot air balloon flight!
According to the pilot, we traveled at 20 knots an hour at our peak (that’s pretty fast as normally it’s under 10!). It was a calm morning, so it was a pretty awesome taking in the views of the surroundings in the cool morning air.
Amazing huh? I really thought so
It was a pretty short ride, ending around 30 minutes and there was another mission waiting for us!
The team helped to keep the balloon. It was really not easy, and required the effort of everyone. And we (or most of the guys) were rather efficient!
The big balloon is now packed into a ball, ready to be transported back. We too, took a ride back to our bus and were all ready for breakfast!
Back at Canungra , we were greeted with our champagne breakfast at the O’Reillys Vineyard.
The whole hot air balloon experience cost 250 AUD per pax. Overall a pleasant experience and it was always an activity that I’ve wanted to try. And this package that we have chosen is one of the most popular / value-for-money options in Gold Coast. | aerospace |

Comments from Our Readers
***** I am pleased to have solved the puzzle. It took a little while of studying the picture until it just came to me. My first thought was a decompression chamber, but it just didn't look quite right. Studying the 'graffiti' was the clue, I think, although I couldn't read it, it seemed to be a lot of writing that did not overlap, something that had been done with care. The round portal was obviously meant to move from one area into another. The yellow duct suggested that the other side of the portal was enclosed and thus needed ventilation. But the duct was not a permanent. It finally just came to me. Finding the official name took a while. Various google searches lead me to YouTube video of astronauts in the room. Finally I got to Wikipedia and that gave me the correct description.
I was totally lost in the prior weeks puzzle. Not a clue!
This is really fun!
***** Looking at the photo at first I thought it was an entryway to something, possibly a spacecraft. I tried to google some of the names written on the walls and found that they were involved in the space program. However it was when I saved the photo and enlarged it that I noticed "Endeavour" reflected in the window.
***** I did notice the reflected name Endeavour in the glass, but I also noticed the name of the photographer and his website in the upper right corner of the photo. When I went to Ben Cooper's website, www.launchphotography.com, I found the quiz picture when I clicked on the POWERED: Endeavour link which stated that your photo plus two others showed the white room entrance in an Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF).
At the time the photos were taken in September of this year, the Endeavour was in OFP-2, one of three OFPs at Kennedy Space Center. After Endeavour was rolled out, Atlantis was rolled into OFP-2 for its final retirement processing and left it October 18th which is on what I based my last use date for the white room of OFP-2.
***** Saw the reflection of the word Endeavour (backwards) in the picture and figured that the picture probably had to do with space exploration. Googled images for: Endeavour space shuttle room, and found the picture of the "white room". Then googled: white room space shuttle, and found info.
***** I did notice Endeavour reflection, but did not realize it was a reflection. Even though I flipped the image sideways to read it.
I could make out part of the photographer's name in the upper right corner and worked it out from there. It looked like high tech, and when I saw the I saw the NASA connection knew I had it. I did not see the "Endeavour" reflection.
***** The partial giveaway was the photographers name in the upper right hand corner. I say partial because I don�t know the answer to all of the questions. The photographer, Ben Cooper, does freelance photography with NASA. All I know is that's the space shuttle Endeavor. The Endeavor finished its final flight (not counting the one on the back of the carrier plane) on June 1, 2011. Colleen, in the spirit of the holidays, hints would now be appreciated. What I think it is (but I don't know) is a hyperbaric chamber used for decompression after a space walk. The final Endeavor space walk was May 27, 2011. Whatever the room is, I love the walls. Did I make a lucky guess?
***** This week's quiz had me off in the wrong direction for a time. I kept thinking it was an MRI room or hyperbolic chamber of sorts. I finally got it when noticed the name and URL on the top right. It was cake from there, though I almost didn't get a chance to send my answers.
***** I looked at the picture and thought it had to do with space, so I went to google and put in room with signature space, and guess what I found. The picture so I just did alittle investigating on the Endeavour. It was awesome and I had to think about it and make sure I didnt think to much into it, it was neat on learning about it too.
***** Hello Colleen: I got on to contest answers with words "covered in signatures." Photos of this and shuttle interior were likely taken as the shuttles were being decommissioned. Drawings and specifications of space shuttles can be found at columbiassacrifice.com.
Did you get to see the Endeavour winding its way through LA being towed by a Toyota Tundra truck? btw: Seattle Museum of Flight in Seattle Washington and Evergreen Flight and Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon also bidded for one of the shuttles. from HMS Endeavour to OV-105 Endeavour to Starship Endeavour...
Starship Fleet Commander Mike Dalton
***** I did not see the Endeavor reflection until now. I kept looking up names autographed on the wall. They seem to be people involved with NASA. I spent a lot of time looking at pictures of the Mobile Quarantine Facility used with the first few Apollo missions I saw the shower and thought this was a cleaning room. None of the pictures I could find of the mqf showed the backroom of those units. One of the mqfs has been found somewhere in the south and is being restored. The autographs had dates of 08, 07, so I knew it probably wasn't in use for the early Apollo missions. I did try looking for Bell Cooper, but it must have been Bill or Ben Cooper. I couldn't figure out the rest of the red lettering. I tried Photograph House. One photographer said he dropped a screw or something off his equipment and had to struggle to find it while in the room. It was an interesting quiz to read about all the NASA information.
When I first looked carefully at the detail in the photo, my first guess was that it had something to do with the space program. So I did all kinds of crazy keyword searches "space program room with lots of signatures" and all kinds of combinations along those lines. Nothing that fit.
Then I got out my magnifying glass and tried to read the dates on some of the signatures to get some idea of the time frame. Resolution no better than on the screen.
Then I noticed the tiny red lettering in the upper right hand corner "Ben Cooper ???" couldn't make out the rest of the words. So did a search on Ben Cooper photographer (a guess that it was the photographer's name) and, presto, up came a number of websites with his whole series of absolutely gorgeous photos from all the launches, as well as a lot of landscape photos. Spent some time exploring his photographs. Did not find anything similar to your photo at this first pass.
In the meantime, John was also looking at the photo on his laptop and we both noticed (at the same time!) the backwards (reflection) lettering in the window (ENDEAVOUR). That of course was all we needed to find the solution and the appropriate websites. Once we saw the original photo on a website, we noticed how you had cleverly blanked out the ENDEAVOUR sign over the door but not the reflection in the window. Cool!
Your quizzes always offer "lagniappe" - a little bit extra. This time it was the wonderful work of the photographer. Did you ever meet him personally? From what I read he no longer works for NASA and is freelancing.
Thanks for another great quiz.
It took me a couple of hours to solve it (spent some of that time surfing Cooper's photographs!). I've developed a pattern for your quizzes: I try to do all the research and solve it the morning after you post it. Then I wait a few days to compose my answer - just to make sure I am comfortable I have a reasonable solution and maybe do a bit of extra research and let it rattle around in my head. I've enjoyed them all.
2. The entry to the Orbiter Processing Facility for the Space Shuttle Endeavor. It is used by astronauts to enter and exit the space shuttle.
3. We are accepting three possible dates:
May 16, 2011
The launch day of the last flight of the Endeavor
October 18, 2012
Used for retirement processing of the Atlantis
September 18, 2012
The Endeavor was moved to the demate device in preparation for its move to the California Science Center
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., Sept 16 - The space shuttle Endeavour, built to replace NASA's lost ship Challenger, prepared for a final flight this week, heading not into orbit but west to a Los Angeles museum.
Riding piggyback on top of a specially modified 747 jet, Endeavour will be the second of NASA's three surviving shuttles to leave the Kennedy Space Center and begin new roles as space
"We finally get to really show her off," NASA astronaut Kay Hire, who flew aboard Endeavour in 2010, told reporters on Sunday on the shuttle's runway. "It's a great vehicle, but it was designed in the '70s. We've modified it along the way and it's certainly served us well, but it is time to move on."
Endeavour was built as a replacement for Challenger, which was destroyed in an accident that killed seven astronauts in 1986. NASA lost a second shuttle, Columbia, and seven more crew members in 2003. That ship was not replaced.
Endeavour's lifespan was relatively short by shuttle standards - 25 missions over 20 years, totaling 299 days in space.
But those flights ran the gamut of orbital odysseys, including the sheer moxie of its May 1992 debut when three astronauts made an impromptu and unprecedented spacewalk to rescue a stranded Intelsat communications satellite.
Eighteen months later, Endeavour flew a high-stakes mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, which, to NASA's horror, had been launched in 1990 with a misshapen primary mirror.
A dozen of Endeavour's missions were devoted to building and outfitting the International Space Station, a $100 billion research laboratory that flies about 250 miles above Earth.
In December 1998, Endeavour carried the first U.S.-made piece of the fledgling station, a connecting hub named Unity that astronauts attached to the Russian-launched Zarya base module.
Twelve years later, Endeavour carried the last U.S. connecting node, Tranquility, as well as the station's gemstone - a dome-shaped room of windows for outside viewing.
Its final mission in May 2011 was to deliver and install a $2 billion particle detector that is searching the cosmos for signs of dark matter and other exotic phenomena.
The shuttle, named after the ship that 18th century British explorer James Cook sailed during his first voyage of discovery in the Pacific Ocean, will spend its retirement at the California Science Center in Los Angeles.
Sister ship Discovery, NASA's oldest surviving shuttle, is on display at the Smithsonian Institution's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside Washington.
Atlantis, which flew NASA's 135th and final shuttle mission in July 2011, will not need a plane ride to reach its retirement home. In November, it will be towed down the road to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
Swing arms were retractable mechanical systems that extended from the launch tower to the Space Shuttle. They provided access to the vehicle for people, wiring and plumbing while the vehicle was on the launch pad. They retracted by swinging away before launch.
People (technicians, engineers, and astronauts) used the Orbiter Access Arm to access the crew module. At the end of the arm, the white room provided an environmentally controlled and protected area for astronauts and their equipment to enter the orbiter.

May 15, 2023
Specialist fastener manufacturer BUMAX has been selected to provide crucial fasteners to be used on the International Space Station (ISS) — BUMAX 88 fasteners will be used to secure a new payload going to the ISS to measure the speed of sound.
BUMAX premium fasteners include some of the strongest in the world and are being used in a variety of extremely demanding and cutting-edge scientific applications, such as at the scientific research institute CERN in Switzerland and for the world's largest optical telescope in northern Chile.
The space sector continues to benefit from the BUMAX fastener range with various applications. BUMAX extra strong and fatigue resistant model 88 has been selected to securely fasten the housing of a new payload on the ISS called Granular Sound.
The customer is OHB System AG, a subsidiary of the European space and technology group OHB SE, under contract of the European Space Agency (ESA). OHB SE is a European multinational technology corporation. Headquartered in Bremen, Germany, the corporation consists of the three business divisions: Space Systems, Aerospace and Digital. At present, OHB is the third largest corporation in Europe's space sector.
Granular Sound is an experiment in space to measure the speed of sound through a cube filled with glass balls (a so-called package) in microgravity at different package pressures. The experiment uses thousands of glass balls to simulate granular media like sand or concrete.
The enhanced properties of BUMAX 88 fasteners are achieved through a combination of unique BUMAX manufacturing processes and the highest quality, European steel.
Since January of 2022, BUMAX 88 screws have also been used for the ANITA-2 trace gas monitoring system to ensure good air quality for ISS astronauts. The system has been simultaneously measuring more than 40 gases every six minutes on the ISS. The system was developed by OHB System AG. BUMAX 88 screws were used for the ANITA-2 payload to securely seal a safety containment and fasten crucial optical components.

Three years ago, in the now-defunct TrueSlant, I reflected on the poetic perfection of Neil Armstrong’s post-lunar career. Armstrong died today at 82. He was a badass.
Monday’s Washington Post has a fascinating look at the post-Apollo 11 life of Neil Armstrong. It’s not accurate to say that the first man on the moon has been a recluse, as he’s frequently described; but neither has he exploited his achievement for personal glory or commercial success. He became the most famous man on the planet, a hero in a company of heroes, and then he simply walked away, taking a desk job at NASA and retiring two years later. Since then he’s rarely been seen in public, and in his infrequent appearances he’s been reticent to a fault. He seems to have sensed that the music was in what he did, not what he said, and that for the rest of his life he could never say anything that would measure up to the enormity of the achievement for which he had become the unwilling public face.
Tom Wolfe argued in a New York Times op-ed a couple of days ago that the space program died at the moment Armstrong set foot on the moon — that the poetic trajectory of space exploration flattened at that moment, and NASA was never able to recover. Armstrong may have understood that better, and earlier, than anyone. On Monday he’ll will join Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins at the White House for a 40th-anniversary photo op with President Obama. After which, no doubt, he’ll return to Ohio and live out his days in the unexpected, but poetically perfect, peace and quiet that have characterized his life since the day he stepped into history. | aerospace |
