Long before it became the Cleveland National Air Show, we had the Cleveland National Air Races. It was first held from August 24 through September 2, 1929, at Cleveland Municipal Airport (now known as Hopkins International Airport), attracted 100,000 on its first day and featured air icons such as Charles Lindburgh and Amelia Earhart. The Cleveland National Air Show as we know it today began in 1964.

https://passportnews.co.il/the-competition-between-virgin-and-british-airways-is-heating-up-on-the-israeli-market/ | 2020-08-12T12:38:41 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738892.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812112531-20200812142531-00318.warc.gz | 0.956843 | 544 | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-34__0__53342862 | en | The competition between Virgin Atlantic Airlines and British Airways over the Israeli audience is heating up: Virgin Atlantic, which has already announced that it will start operating a daily flight between Ben Gurion Airport to London Heathrow Airport from September 26, 2019, will operate in some of the continuing flights from London to New York, the newest aircraft at Virgin’s fleet, Airbus 350-1000.
By this way, Virgin Atlantic is going ahead of the competitor British Airways, that operates three daily flights between Tel Aviv and London, announced that on December 1st, it will operate the new Airbus 350-1000 plane on the London-Israel flight, following Virgin’s announcement regarding the start of operating flights to Israel.
As previously mentioned, passengers flying with Virgin from Ben Gurion Airport will be able to fly to London on Airbus 330 aircraft, and continue on some of its connecting flights with its new Airbus 350-1000 aircraft to flights from London Heathrow to JFK New York. Virgin will also offer connecting flights to many many destinations in North America such as Newark, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Toronto and more.
When announcement the new line of flights from Israel to London was announced, Virgin’s Israeli CEO, Shay Weiss, stated that the company would offer the Israeli passengers, particularly the businesspeople and the business community, a highly advanced experience in flights, especially to North American destinations.
Virgin Atlantic operates three classes on its flights: tourist class, Premium Economy and the Business Class. The competitor, British Airways, currently operates in some of its aircraft for Israel, four classes: Economy, Economy Plus, Business Class and the First Class. However, with the entry of the Airbus 350-1000 aircraft into the Tel Aviv-London line, British Airways will offer three classes and cancel the first class, as on Airbus 350-1000 business class seats are personal compartments, with seats turning into a flat bed and a closing door so each cell is personal.
Virgin Atlantic passengers, who fly from Tel Aviv in business class to London and connect to the North American destinations, will get a special benefit: they can fly with three pieces of luggage with no additional charge, while British Airways offers each passenger to fly with two pieces of luggage for free for passengers on Business Class, and only travelers that are members on the Frequent-flyer program can send three suitcases.
Virgin Atlantic, which is currently preparing for its flights from Israel, has already appointed Nick Bettles, to the Israel’s commercial manager, and it has come to Passport News attention that the company will focus on travel agents activity in Israel, as well as direct contact with business travelers. | aerospace |

Two HISD schools, Johnston Middle and Parker Elementary, compose one of only 12 communities nation-wide to be selected to participate in Mission One to the International Space Station (ISS) through the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP.) One student experiment will be chosen from an anticipated field of over 400 completed scientific proposals from over 1,000 students. That experiment will fly to the ISS aboard a Soyuz rocket in spring 2012.
Students in grades 5-8 at both schools are being exposed to science as it relates to our nation's quest to live in space and to understand micro-gravity's effects on everything from bacteria to plant growth. They are actively researching in the classroom and going through the scientific process, working with their teachers to learn real science.
The Houston scientific community is getting on-board with researchers, scientists, biologists, physicists, geologists, and many others actively engaged with the student participants. Among them are: Gregory Vogt, Baylor College of Medicine, Robert Dempsey, Jess Tramaglini, and Keith Todd, NASA, Christopher Johns-Krull and Jeff Chancellor, Rice, Lawrence Pinsky and George Fox, UH, Alamelu Sundaresan, Terrell Gibson and Charles Glass, TSU, Ann Martin, geologist, Bruce Thornburgh, bio-medicine.
At the school level, students are being supported by teachers and administrators alike. All of whom are dedicated to providing support, instruction and guidance so students can be part of this once in a lifetime experience
At the district level, board members Larry Marshall and Michael Lunceford both have dedicated time and effort into making this happen from day-one.
Houston, we have a team. Houston, we have a mission. Houston, we have something special going on.
This is truly an out-of-this world experience for these young students turned researchers and an amazing opportunity for the Houston community to prove
that we really are the nation's "Mission Control." For more information about this opportunity, please visit www.ssep.ncesse.org. To get involved contact: Lanena Berry, email@example.com or Amber Pinchback firstname.lastname@example.org.

Elisa Drone Racing League (EDRL) brings competetive FPV flying to Baltics and Finland in a world class scale! Drone racing stands for carbon-fibre quadcopters, which go head to head on a track and naturally, the fastest one wins. The quadcopters are equipped with cameras, which send the live feed to the goggles which the pilot is wearing, so that the pilot can operate the quad through the gates and the obstacles. The racing speed can be up to 200km/h. To be able to control his drone on a track filled with obstacles, the pilot needs to have lighting fast reflexes, excellent piloting skills and super tight nerves. | aerospace |

In the middle of the Mediterranean, a meeting place of cultures, this land has always connected Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.
Sicily is also the land of Myth – seeing its natural, historical, and archaeological treasures, the coasts, the sea, and its colours, from the sky is an extraordinary experience.
The A.T.O. (Approved Training Organization) IT 0043 of the Aero Club of Catania is authorized to hold pilot courses on single and twin-engine airplanes for the attainment of licenses and qualifications, also to work as an airline pilot.
The prerogative of doing business at an International Airport (one of the very few training companies in Europe to do so) makes the course extremely educational for the attainment of a professional licence.
The favourable weather conditions (about 270 days/year with conditions suitable for flight on sight) ensure it’s fully operational even in the winter season.

Athletes will plan a line which allows them to pass close to fixed objects or the ground at high speed. This is in contrast to Wingsuit BASE, the focus of which is to create separation from fixed objects and exit points in order to open a parachute in a hazard-free space.
By flying close to the ground and walls, the risk of injury is considerably increased and margins for error are reduced exponentially. By choosing the wrong line, miscalculating margins or failing to fly with the required efficiency this can result in serious injury or death. This is on top of the risks already associated with Wingsuit BASE such as slipping at exit point, failure to inflate wings, unstable exit, pilot error, suit malfunction and opening malfunctions. | aerospace |

Traffic at Dubai airport remained disrupted Thursday with over 230 flights cancelled, a day after an Emirates Boeing 777 flying from India with 300 people on board crash-landed crash-landed. This Middle East’s busiest airport closed for several hours.
Dubai Airports authority said it cancelled 116 arriving flights and another 121 departing since the accident just after midday Wednesday, while 44 planes were diverted to nearby Emirati airports.
The airport resumed operations with reduced capacity around four hours after a Boeing 777 flying from India with 300 people on board crash-landed and caught fire.
All passengers and crew were evacuated safely but an Emirati firefighter died while putting out the blaze.
“DXB (Dubai International’s code) continues to operate with one runway with higher priority for arriving flights and wide-bodied aircraft to maximise the utilisation of available capacity and ease congestion inside the terminals,” Dubai Airports said in a statement.
It expected operations to return to normal in two days.
“The airport is expected to be on recovery mode for the next 48 hours with efforts in full swing to clear the backlogged flights,” it said.
DXB is the world’s largest air hub in terms of international passengers, and is the base for Emirates, which serves more than 153 destinations.

Humans have envied the birds’ ability to fly through the air since the dawn of civilisation, which is no doubt why our feathered friends were the inspiration for much early aircraft design. That was until Bohemian aviation pioneer Igo Etrich began basing his designs on the aerodynamics of the seed of a tropical plant called Zanonia macrocarpa found on the island of Java. On falling to the ground the seeds generate lift, which slows their descent and helps them remain aloft. By adding a 60-horse power engine to an aircraft with zanonia-shaped wings, Etrich managed to fly the ‘Dove’ from Vienna to the northern town of Horn and back. Even more impressive was the 33-hour non-stop solo flight from New York to Paris by a young man named Charles Lindbergh in the ‘Spirit of St Louis’, a fabric-covered, single engine seater, monoplane. | aerospace |

Congratulations to the UNO Aviation Institute on Receiving the 2012 Loening Trophy.
The Loening Trophy is a perpetual trophy presented annually to the outstanding all around collegiate aviation program in the nation. The Loening Trophy is the rarest and oldest of all collegiate aviation awards. The pure silver Tiffany designed trophy was commissioned and first awarded in 1929 when aviation pioneer and inventor, Dr. Grover Loening saw a need to annually recognize the most outstanding achievements of today’s college aviation programs. Dr. Loening (first aeronautical engineer for the Wright Brothers), asked his friends and famous pilots, Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Navy Commander John Towers to assist him in judging the first competition. The original Loening Trophy is still awarded today and is considered the most prestigious award at the annual SAFECON competition. The award not only represents superb achievement in aeronautical skills, but more importantly represents the current benchmark for an overall outstanding collegiate aviation program. Emphasis on academics, community involvement, aviation skills and their advancement, a comprehensive safety program, and professionalism, when combined with a pro-active enhancement of the future of aviation are keys for the selection of this award
Please join us at the 2012 Loening Trophy Presentation on Thursday, August 23, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. at the Thompson Alumni Center. | aerospace |

With it, you can book flights, hotels, and other attractions in real time without having to deal with any of the hassle of traditional booking methods. Aainflight has already changed the way we book travel reservations, and it’s only going to get better in the future. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and learn as much as possible about this exciting new technology, read on for some tips on how to get started.
What Is Aainflight?
Aainflight is a new aviation technology that uses air-powered flight. It is designed to revolutionize the way we travel by eliminating the need for traditional aircrafts and providing an environmentally friendly option review.
Aainflight was invented by Dr. Zhongxing Wang, a professor of aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech. He first developed the technology in 2008, and has since been working on perfecting it. So far, Aainflight has proven to be successful, and has been used to fly small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and model airplanes.
The advantages of Aainflight over traditional aircrafts are numerous. For one, it is much quieter than traditional aircrafts. This not only makes it less disruptive, but also allows it to fly over populated areas without worry of causing any noise pollution. Additionally, Aainflight does not produce emissions that can harm humans or the environment. In fact, it relies on renewable energy sources to power its engine, which helps reduce environmental impact even further.
So why would you want to learn about Aainflight? There are many reasons! First of all, it could revolutionize the way we travel. By eliminating the need for traditional aircrafts, Aainflight could make travelling much more affordable and accessible for everyone. Second, Aainflight is incredibly efficient – meaning that it can carry more passengers and cargo than traditional aircrafts without sacrificing performance or efficiency. Finally, as Aainflight relies on renewable energy sources
What Are The Benefits of Aainflight?
Aainflight is a novel air transportation technology that uses airships to travel between cities. It has many benefits, including the ability to fly over large distances without any environmental damage, and the elimination of traffic congestion. Aainflight also has the potential to revolutionize urban transportation, making it easier and more efficient to get around cities.
How to Take Aainflight
Aainflight is a unique form of aviation that uses airships as its primary mode of transportation. It’s a relatively new form of aviation, first developed in the early 20th century, and there are still a few airships in operation today. Aainflight has several notable advantages over traditional aviation techniques, including greater fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
There are a number of ways to learn about Aainflight. You can read about it online, attend an instructional class, or even participate in an actual flight simulation experience.
Aainflight is a new open-source global flight tracking platform designed to provide airline passengers with more timely, accurate and actionable information about their flights. The platform not only allows users to track their flights online but also provides insights into how the flying industry is changing. | aerospace |

Budget cuts present a real threat to the goals and ambitions of the NASA program. Bill Nye, head of the Planetary Society, and well-known figure in today’s science, has expressed these shared concerns in a letter to President Obama. Despite cuts, the Obama administration has not completely neglected NASA programs, repeatedly insisting the U.S. should not rely on foreign nations to get into space. One might suggest that recent heated relations with Russia have provided quite the catalyst.
In the wake of proposed budget cuts and uncertainty of these NASA programs, the private industry has taken the lead. Companies from all over the aerospace industry have submitted proposals to NASA, exposing a light at the end of the tunnel – a very bright light. NASA announced earlier this month that it will be partnering with American companies Boeing and SpaceX with the hopes of returning space launches to American soil. Both have already submitted designs to transport astronauts to the International Space Station, which could be operational within a few years.
Over the last 2 years, SpaceX and Orbital Sciences have initiated the pathway for US-launched missions by transporting cargo to the International Space Station. With the help of Boeing and SpaceX, NASA is closer to taxiing astronauts to and from space. Not only will we end our reliance on Russia, but we will bring human spaceflight launches back to American soil.
NASA is launching a new and ambitious chapter of the iconic American program. SpaceX founder and Tesla Motors CEO, Elon Musk, remains enthusiastic as he publicly expresses his vision for the future of space travel.

Not even a layover in Toronto was scheduled; just a quick transfer.
However, the Air Canada plane scheduled to depart from Northern Kentucky would not start. That’s a bad sign. I would not feel confident getting into a plane experiencing “mechanical failure.”
Surprisingly, only one Air Canada flight departs each day from Toronto to Shanghai. Due to our rescheduled departure from Kentucky, I’ve already missed my connecting flight. I would also miss potential connections from Ottawa & Montreal.
Therefore, I’ll be staying in Canada all day, night and into tomorrow!
The first stamp in my new passport will be from our friendly neighbor to the north.
I’m scheduled to arrive in Shanghai now 24 hours later than planned–on the 16th. | aerospace |

Drones are fun to fly and will challenge you in many ways. Drones can also be used for business and are a great way to get those ariel shots. Great for pool builders, Realtors, contractors, and inspectors.
Here I list some of the Drones I own and fly. Each drone has a link to see my Amazon.com video review as well as a link to purchase. The drones here range from HD video drones to fun indoor drones. I have flown many drones and the ones below are the top drones and the ones I would recommend.
There are a lot of drones to choose from out there and you can purchase a high end $1,000 drone, but if you don't use it often or for business, it might not be the wisest investment. A $200-$300 drone will get you an excellent quality drone to start with. Some of the $100 or fewer drones here are also excellent for just flying around your neighborhood or parks.
Make sure you register your drone with the FAA if you live in the US and I would suggest installing the UAV APP if you are planning to fly your drone above 300 ft. This APP is also great for showing the No Fly Zones in your area. The number one rule is drone flying is a safety so read the FAA guidelines and be safe.
The F18 drone is superb. I can end the review right here. It is that good.
It is loaded with some great features and for the price point, you are getting a ton for your investment.
Let me start with the overall design of the drone. Sleek, light, powerful and very, very fast. The brushless motors allow this thing to really blast through the air. The light and sleek design make for a super responsive drone that turns on a dime.
The F18 also features Altitude Hold. This means that when you release the throttle the F18 will remain at that altitude so this drone hovers in one spot very easily. Altitude Hold also makes for a very easy flight. With Altitude Hold, all you need to focus on is left, right, forward and back - so great for even a beginner drone pilot.
The built-in 1080p Camera takes really great footage. Being built in allows for very stable filming and you can save the video directly onto a Micro SD card or onto your phone through the F18 APP.
With the F18 APP, you can view a real-time First Person View out of the camera on the front of the drone. This is a great feature as you will know exactly where the drone is even at high altitudes and this also allows you to preview your recorded videos and photos while in flight.
Speaking of altitude, this drone can go an amazing 3,200 ft or 0.65 miles (although with my license through the FAA I am restricted to 400 ft here in the US). You can really take this thing sky high and safely bring it back with the one-touch "Home" button. The drone knows where it is at all times with the built-in GPS (just make sure you turn it on). The one-touch "Home" key will bring the drone back to where you launched it.
The battery is a very unique design that allows it to lock into the back, so no worries of the battery coming loose during rough stunt flying. The battery is rated to last 16 minutes, and when the drone is running low on power all 4 lights will flash red.
The F18 really sets the standard for drones in this category. Watch the video to learn more and also see me set up the drone.
Brushless motors for real speed
Altitude Hold for easy flight
1080p camera for great footage
FPV through your phone with the installed F-18 APP
Large and bright LED lights for easy orientation and night flying.
GPS and a dedicated "Home" button
Fly up to 3,200 ft or 0.65 miles
Great carrying/storage case
One Touch take off and land button
Easy to use remote with display screen
Needs to ship with one extra battery (5 hour recharge time)
No flip button for acrobatics
Yuneec Typhoon H
I can’t say enough about how awesome this machine is. The real bonus is the controller with the built-in 7” 720p Android Tablet so there is no need to use your cell phone. It is also loaded with some unique features like retractable landing gear and the ability to spin the camera around a full
360 degrees to get great panoramic shots. Not to mention the 6 motors and blades making this one of the most failsafe drones on the market today.
Unlike some of the negatives of the DJI drones, the last firewire update for the Typhoon H was in 2017 so you are not constantly updating the drone or controller. Both are virtually perfect right now with the ability to do so many things. The no-fly zones are not as strict as with the DJI drones, but the altitude is set at 400 maximum here in the US per FAA requirements.
The range of this drone is incredible in my opinion. It is rated for about 1 mile and I have gone out .8 miles or over 4,000 ft with no loss of reception on the screen. I am using aftermarket range extenders which really do make a difference and the Patch antenna vs the Mushroom one. With the Patch, you get better range with the monitor, but you need to have it pointed at the drone. The Mushroom antenna is a multi-directional antenna with less range overall. I am very impressed with the range of the Typhoon H and the clarity of the screen is just phenomenal.
This is the base model of the Typhoon so it only has collision avoidance in the front. The Plus is a better model with collision avoidance all around the drone plus a better 4K camera, but it is twice the price of the standard Typhoon H., In my opinion, the Typhoon H is more than enough drone for most and it takes professional photos and videos.
The Typhoon H has a range of autonomous flight modes, where it does most of the flying without being controlled allowing you to focus on the camera operation. The Orbit Me mode, for instance, enables the drone to orbit around the controller while keeping the focus on the operator. The Point of Interest mode allows the drone to orbit around a location set by the GPS coordinates on the controller screen. Other autonomous flight modes include Journey, Curve Cable Cam, Follow Me, and Return Home. The Return Home mode will land the drone with a few feet of where it launched from. It is not as precise as other drones, mainly for safety reason as it is a large and powerful drone.
Speaking of the large size, this is not a drone for hiking or for using it far from your vehicle. In the backpack with the accessories, it comes in around 5 lbs. Both the drone and the controller as massive so if you're looking for a portable drone the Typhoon H is not the drone for you. But if size is not a concern the Typhoon H is just a completely underrated and comes loaded with so many great features, not the least of which is the controller with the build in screen.
Contixo F17 +
The F17 Drone is a real beast. If you are a beginner you can set the speed control to low and then start your test flights. For the Pro, you will find this drone's responsiveness just perfect. Push the control left, the drone will quickly go left. Push back on the control and the drone backs up on a dime. Careful because the F-17's throttle is for real. Start it up and throttle it up. The F17 will go sky high in a matter of seconds.
This would be ideal for a Pool Builder, Real Estate Agent, Contractor or anyone who needs outdoor aerial videos. This is also a very fun drone just for recreational use. I suggest a large school grass area or a large park. Crashes on cement tend to nick up the blades even with the blade guards on.
This review is for the F17 + model which comes with an included 4K sports camera and mount. The camera is actually excellent and the footage is crystal clear and sharp. You won't be disappointed in the included camera.
Overall this is a superb drone that is thrilling to fly. Watch the video to see it in flight and I also go over the assembly and set-up.
Easy to fly (slight learning curve)
Controls are super responsive
Mountable 4K camera included (F17+ version)
Great carrying/storage case
Brushless motors for longer life
500 ft maximum
Battery last for about 15 minutes (you will need extra)
UPair One 4K Drone
The UPair One 4K Drone by GTEN (G10) Drone is a very solid drone with an amazing price point. You can find the UPair One 4K drone with the build in 7” FPV screen for around $350 here in the US. It has the same range as the DJI Phantom 3 Standard but with a better camera and the monitor for about $150 less. Strictly speaking, this is not a DJI Phantom Clone but a very solid and reliable drone with very similar design and features.
The reviews of the 2.7K version were mixed but I did see some very good reviews for the 4K version. This is not the UPair 4K Plus version which has a Follow Me Mode and Flight Route Planning. This version doesn't have those features but with the built-in screen, it eliminates the need to connect to an APP and use your phone to view the FPV footage.
4K UHD Video Recording and Camera.Perfect for shooting video or taking photos
Intelligent 5400mA rechargeable battery is capable of flying up to 19 minutes
Long distance: HD Live Video transmission distance up to 800m, controller up to 1000m away

This Mini Drone is awesome. I own 4 full-size drones and 2 pocket drones, but this little guy is by far our most fun drone! No need to leave your house to do some serious droning.
You will find the F3 an extremely responsive drone and very fast. It sounds like a giant insect buzzing through your house. It is also very durable. After a couple of dramatic crashes into the wall and floor, this thing gets right up and starts flying again. The 720P camera is also very good. With the APP you can see the drone flying in first person view as well as record the videos to your phone.
Great Indoor drone! You can fly it outside also up to 150 ft. Watch the video to see the setup and to watch it buzzing around my house.
Super compact size
Long battery life (extra battery included)
Great 720P camera
Altitude Hold - maintains current altitude
Remote control or APP controlled
A bit loud but you get used to it
The Contixo F20 is an all-around great drone. It is compact, responsive and comes with loads of features. There is a lot to like about this drone and I really like the fact that it comes with a carrying/storage case. Here is a look at some of the features of the F20 from the manufacturer.
Follow Me, Automatic Hovering (Auto Hover) / Altitude Hold, First Person View (FPV), 1-Key Takeoff & Landing / Auto Return, TapFly (Fly by Tapping via Smartphone & App), Point of Interest (360° Following Rotation, Auto Hover in Circular Rotation), Fail-Safe Return To Home, & More.

We offer 24/7 e-mail support and are available for phone calls Monday-Friday between the hours of 9 am - 4 pm PST. Providing outstanding customer service is our number one priority. Includes 1-Year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty against defects.
One of the best features is the camera on the front that can be tilted in flight so that you can get footage directly in front of the drone all the way to directly under the drone. This is a pretty advanced feature for a drone in with this price point and a great upgrade over standard fixed camera drones.
I also love the carrying case which holds everything and the drone with the blades on. I have several drones with cases and the F20 is the best since it fits in the case without removing the blades. So right out of the case, it is ready to fly.
If your looking for a stable and easy to fly a drone, look no further. Everything about flying this drone is easy. When you hit the "take off" button it will go up 1.5 meters for you and hover, then you can take control and fly to your heart's content.
Flying this drone is very easy. It has speed controls so it starts out at 25% speed, which makes for very simple flying. It is very responsive to the controller and the 720p camera produces very good quality videos.
The video goes over more detail on what comes in the box and set up the drone for flight. Watch the video to also see it in action.
This is a super fun drone to fly and you will really enjoy the stability and ease of use. Love it!
Very stable and very stable flight
4 light indicators on the bottom tell you when it is connected and recording
Great 720p video camera
Compact and sleek looking

Defence manufacturer UIMC, part of the state-owned Rostec Corporation, announced that it would be demonstrating the power of the weapon at the Army-2015 conference attended by Vladimir Putin on Tuesday.
According to state media outlet Sputnik News, the gun has been developed for the use of the Russian military and can be fitted onto existing BUK missile systems.
UIMC officials said the weapon is capable of firing super-high-frequency electromagnetic waves to suppress equipment on board low-altitude aircraft, as well as the precision targeting systems on board missiles. Which countries have nuclear weapons?
Speaking to Sputnik News, a UIMC spokesperson said: “The new system is equipped with a high-power relativistic generator and reflector antenna, management and control system, and a transmission system which is fixed on the chassis of BUK surface-to-air missile systems.
“When mounted on a special platform, the ‘microwave gun’ is capable of ensuring perimeter defense at 360 degrees.”

These camps provide a lifelong impact, launching kids into a galaxy of fun and learning! Kennedy Space Center, NASA’s launch headquarters, specializes in STEM learning at its best with activities for students ages 7 through 16.
With all of the changes due to COVID-19, Space Camp had to get creative in their delivery, so they launched Virtual Camp KSC!
Virtual Camp KSC is a 3-day online camp, with each session lasting three hours. Campers will connect in real-time via Zoom video conference to a member of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex education staff. Campers will complete activities, focused on STEM learning, hosted from a variety of locations at the visitor complex. From the safety and comfort of home, campers can complete engaging and fun activities centered on NASA-based science and engineering.
This new virtual program launched an exciting growth for Camp KSC, reaching new campers all over who may not have been able to travel to in-person camps in the past!
Campers are sent a “Camp Kit” prior to attending camp, which led to some behind-the-scenes support from Brevard Achievement Center. Therrin Protze, COO Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, reached out directly to Amar Patel, CEO of Brevard Achievement Center, for assistance with getting these kits out to campers in a timely fashion.
“The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex family is always happy to partner with Team BAC,” said Mr. Protze. “Our Space Camp project is a great example of how businesses have had to change course quickly in response to COVID-19. We found ourselves in need of some unexpected support and BAC rose to the occasion. We received quality work, a fast turn-around time and terrific customer support, all while providing work opportunities to people with significant disabilities. I can’t think of a better outcome for everyone involved.”

According to Variety, Spencer will join Taraji P. Henson in the NASA drama, Hidden Figures, directed by St. Vincent's Ted Melfi.
The film is based on Margot Lee Shetterly's book, "Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race", which centers on African-American mathematicians Katherine Johnson (Henson), Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan. The women overcame racial prejudice and gender bias to aid in NASA's 1962 Friendship 7 mission that made astronaut John Glenn the first American to ever orbit the Earth.

There are two main goals: (1) to simulate historical routes in the 1980s where Cathay Pacific flew between London Gatwick (EGKK) and Hong Kong (VHHH) via Bahrain (OBBI); (2) to explore new routes between Hong Kong and the Americas and within the Americas. With advanced computing technology and software, it is made possible to simulate flights with realistic features for aircrafts, ground traffic, air traffic, and real-world landscapes.
VATSIM is the Virtual International Air Traffic Simulation network, which is what I use to connect my X-Plane 11. This means you can obtain real-time information about my flight simulations. To obtain historical and future flight schedules, look below for more information. There are many online websites and applications that display the VATSIM maps, I find that the one developed by ProjectFly is the best map however, as it is the only map (so far that I have found) that records the actual simulated flight path.

This paper presents SelfieStick, a novel satellite receiver system that explores reducing this barrier of access to real-time satellite imagery data using a single low cost (under 30 dollars) tiny receiver. SelfieStick’s core approach takes advantage of the multiplicity of overhead Low-Earth Orbit satellites due to their exponential rise in recent years. While signals from such satellites may be individually weak, especially at a low-cost receiver, SelfieStick stitches together noisy RF captures containing underlying images of the same part of the Earth across many such satellites to generate clean Earth images. A detailed experimental evaluation on the RTL-SDR platform on satellite captures from the NOAA constellation demonstrates a PSNR improvement of 5 dB through combining of images across 10 satellites.

While living in New York, every time I saw a plane in the sky I would look at it and say, “that’s gonna be me pretty soon”. Low and behold, that saying became as real as the truth.
I took two Lufthansa Airlines planes in order to get to Rome. My first flight came from JFK Airport in the city (NY that is) and it lasted for about 7 hours. Considering that this was my first time–ever–going to an airport by myself and flying a plane by myself, my plane ride definitely help to shift my fear of flying.
Not to mention, they also provided me with two meals, which were really quite appetizing for airplane food.
After my first flight, I got off at Frankfurt, Germany. Since my flight from JFK landed early, I had to wait for the last flight for a little over an hour. They too provided me with a light snack:
By the time I boarded my second flight, my nerves were relieved. I replaced fear with an attitude of, “LET’S GET THERE ALREADY!!!!”–talk about patience (sarcasm).
It was so beautiful to fly over the mountains, I really just wanted to stick my hand outside of the window and touch the beauty that I was seeing.

Earth observation is used for monitoring and verifying data on the ground in a wide variety of fields, from disaster relief efforts to agriculture, global health, conflict mitigation, conservation, and even poverty mapping. However, remote sensing is still seen as an exclusive field, out of reach to many organizations. In addition, most organizations are familiar with using pre-made satellite maps, yet the power of open imagery that is captured on a regular basis is unfamiliar in many sectors.
Radiant Earth Foundation provides a platform that makes this kind of imagery more accessible than ever by consolidating open data sources in a cloud-based environment. For practitioners simply interested in identifying urban areas to developers working on retrieving imagery during disasters, the Radiant Earth platform streamlines satellite imagery analysis.
This webinar will show the NetHope community how to access data from Radiant Earths aggregated catalog on the its platform, as well as perform analyzes and produce visualizations quickly, securely, and for free.

It’s true! The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has a 24-hour live YouTube feed showing what the crew of the International Space Station can see outside of their space station. It is an amazing experience to see Earth from the perspective of the brave men and women orbiting the Earth at over 17,150 miles per hour (27,600 km/h)!
While seeing Earth from this perspective can be thought-provoking, even life changing, few of us know the purpose of the International Space Station!
What Is the International Space Station?
The International Space Station (ISS) is a large spacecraft capable of supporting up to six crew members that orbits around the Earth, making a full trip around Earth every 90 minutes! The ISS was launched and placed into orbit in 1998 with its first crew members arriving on November 2, 2000.
Astronauts and cosmonauts perform a wide variety of experiments in and out of the ISS’s unique science laboratory to learn more about how humans can live and work in space.
Why is the International Space Station Important?
The ISS has allowed humans to have an ongoing presence in space since late-2000, allowing crew members to do special research that could not be done anywhere else! Scientists also study what happens to the body when people live in microgravity for a long time. (The condition of being weightless, or of the near absence of gravity.) NASA and its partners have also learned how to keep a spacecraft working well. All of these lessons will be important for future space exploration.
The lessons NASA learns from the ISS will allow humans to travel farther into space than ever before! This will enable scientists to better understand our solar system, how our planets formed, and come even closer to discovering life outside of Earth! | aerospace |

The Junkers Ju 88 was a World War II German Luftwaffe twin-engine, multi-role aircraft. Designed by Hugo Junkers' company through the services of two American aviation engineers in the mid-1930s, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Affectionately known as "The Maid of all Work" (a feminine version of "jack of all trades"), the Ju 88 proved to be suited to almost any role. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter, and even as a flying bomb during the closing stages of conflict.

- Written by NewsServices.com
Kneeboard aviation is an exciting and unique way to experience the thrill of flying. It is a form of aerial acrobatics that involves piloting an aircraft while standing on a specially designed kneeboard that straps onto the pilot's legs and allows them to perform stunts and manoeuvres in the air. Kneeboard aviation is growing in popularity among pilots, both recreational and professional, who are looking for new ways to challenge their skills and push their limits. With its adrenaline-pumping aerial acrobatics, it's easy to see why kneeboard aviation has become such a popular activity.
History of Kneeboard Aviation
Kneeboard aviation has a long and storied history. It began in the early 1900s when Glenn Curtiss, an American aviation pioneer, developed the first “knee-controlled” aircraft. The plane was designed to be controlled using only one’s knees while the pilot sat upright, allowing for easier and more responsive control of the plane. This early form of kneeboard aviation revolutionized how pilots were able to manoeuvre their aircraft in all three dimensions – up, down, and sideways.
Since then, kneeboard aviation has evolved significantly over time. Today’s modern kneeboards are equipped with sophisticated avionics systems that allow pilots to access a variety of information about their flight environments such as airspeed, altitude and heading. In addition to providing accurate navigational information during flights, these systems can also be used for other tasks such as communicating with air traffic controllers or accessing weather forecasts.
The use of kneeboards isn't only limited to commercial aircraft; they are also popular among recreational pilots who use them for aerobatics or stunt flying displays at air shows. Kneeboards also have enormous potential in military operations where they can provide vital data on flight conditions that can help commanders make decisions quickly and accurately in rapidly.
Benefits of Using a Kneeboard in Flight
Kneeboards are essential tools for pilots, as they can help keep important documents and flight information organized during a flight. Kneeboards provide an easy way to keep everything in one place, allowing pilots to focus on the task of flying. The use of a kneeboard can be beneficial in many ways and here are some reasons why:
- Safety: One of the most important benefits of using a kneeboard is safety. By having everything organized and within reach, it reduces the risk of distraction and allows pilots to concentrate on flying without having to worry about searching through paperwork or trying to remember vital information from memory alone.
- Efficiency: Using a kneeboard helps improve efficiency during pre-flight checks as it allows all vital documents such as charts and checklists to be readily accessible when needed instead of having them spread throughout the cockpit or elsewhere in the aircraft. This ensures that all necessary procedures are carried out properly and quickly, helping reduce time spent on the ground before takeoff.
- Organization: A well-organized kneeboard can make life much easier for pilots by providing an easy reference point for any information that may be required during a flight such as maps, frequencies, altitudes etc.
Types of Kneeboards Available
Kneeboards are an essential piece of equipment for any water sports enthusiast. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced water sports enthusiast, having the right kneeboard is essential to your success in the water. Kneeboards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, so it’s important to choose one that best fits your needs. Here we will discuss some of the different types of kneeboards available on the market today.
The most common type of kneeboard is the “flat-bottom” board. These boards have a flat bottom that allows for greater stability and control while riding in the water. They are ideal for beginners as they provide more stability than other types of boards, allowing those new to kneeboarding to get up and ride quickly without worrying about tipping over or losing their balance easily.
Another popular type is the “concave” board which has two concave surfaces instead of one flat bottom surface like its flat-bottom counterpart does. This design helps with edging turns as well as providing additional pop when performing tricks such as ollies and 360s off ramps or wakes while still maintaining stability at higher speeds.
Guidelines for Using a Kneeboard While Flying
Flying with a kneeboard is an essential skill for any serious pilot. Whether you’re a student or a professional, having the right tools and knowledge to make your flights more organized and efficient can make all the difference. Here are some key guidelines for using a kneeboard while flying:
Choose the Right Kneeboard: The first step in using a kneeboard is to choose one that fits comfortably around your leg and won’t slip off during the flight. Look for adjustable straps, secure closures and plenty of storage compartments. You should also consider getting one that includes built-in features like pencil holders, document holders, or even GPS navigation systems.
Familiarize Yourself With Its Features: Once you have chosen the right kneeboard for yourself, familiarize yourself with its features so you can use it effectively during your flight. Read through its instructions manual; identify all its pockets and compartments; practice adjusting it on your leg; know how to access any emergency information stored in it; etc., so when it comes time to fly you can do so confidently knowing how everything works on your board.
Secure Your Documents: Make sure all documents are needed for the flight such as checklists, maps, and charts.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Kneeboard Aviation Experience
Kneeboard aviation is an activity that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This type of aviation involves the use of a specialized board on which instruments, charts, and other flight materials are mounted for convenient access by pilots during flight. Flying with a kneeboard can provide a more efficient and organized way of managing documents while in the air, allowing pilots to spend less time searching for information and more time focusing on important aspects of flying such as navigation or communication. If you’re looking to get the most out of your kneeboard experience, here are some tips to help you along:
- Invest in Quality Gear – When it comes to flying with a kneeboard, having quality gear is key. Make sure that your board is made from durable materials such as aluminium or hard plastic so that it will last through many flights without becoming damaged or worn out too quickly. Additionally, make sure that all fasteners and straps are securely attached so they won’t come loose during flight.
- Choose the Right Documents – It’s important to choose appropriate documents for your kneeboard before each flight so you don’t end up carrying unnecessary weight or wasting space on unnecessary items like newspapers or magazines during your flight. Generally speaking, documents.
Kneeboard aviation is an exciting and rewarding way to fly. It is a great way to experience the sky from a different perspective, while also gaining valuable experience in different aircraft. With the right equipment and training, it can be an enjoyable flying experience that can open up new opportunities for pilots. Kneeboard aviation offers a unique way to explore the skies, and those who take part in it are sure to find plenty of satisfaction in their newfound aerial freedom. | aerospace |

Not a literal wall mind you but a technical one that forced NASA to suspend all science operations aboard the telescope.
The telescope has now been offline since 13th June, but NASA appears to have found the problem and will be implementing a fix over the next few days.
So what is the problem? Something called a Power Control Unit (PCU).
This unit resides within the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling (SI C&DH) unit which in turn resides within the Hubble payload computer.
“It [the PCU] ensures a steady voltage supply to the payload computer’s hardware. The PCU contains a power regulator that provides a constant five volts of electricity to the payload computer and its memory. A secondary protection circuit senses the voltage levels leaving the power regulator. If the voltage falls below or exceeds allowable levels, this secondary circuit tells the payload computer that it should cease operations,” NASA explained in a press release.
After several weeks of analysis, NASA’s teams believe that the voltage level coming from the regulator is out of whack or the secondary protection circuit has fallen victim to the persistent march of time.
Unfortunately, ground teams haven’t been able to reset the PCU so NASA will instead switch over to the backup SI C&DH which contains a backup PCU.
“All testing of procedures for the switch and associated reviews have been completed, and NASA management has given approval to proceed. The switch will begin Thursday, July 15, and, if successful, it will take several days to completely return the observatory to normal science operations,” writes NASA.
The spacefaring organisation performed a switch similar to this in 2008. Back then a Command Unit/Science Data Formatter failed but fortunately the Space Shuttle program was still active and a replacement SI C&DH could be installed.
We will only know whether Hubble is operating at full functionality by next week given NASA’s advisement.
We’re waiting with bated breath.

When the SHTF traditional communication and surveillance systems are likely to be inoperative, so what is your backup plan for gathering information.
During a crisis, information gathering can be dangerous for any number of reasons. There may be roving bands of criminals, damaged roadways, collapsed bridges, blocked tunnels and so on. Once you venture out without any forewarning of what dangers may be in your area you have put yourself at risk. You will need a system in place that allows you to gather information before you venture out.
Perimeter surveillance requires people with a certain skill set, and without proper training, perimeter reconnaissance can be dangerous. What if you were able to conduct a reconnaissance mission without putting anyone’s life in danger, well you can now with a surveillance drone for personal use.
Drones and Prepping
The DJI Phantom 2 Vision Quadcopter is just one of many drones available on the market for personal use today. It is battery operated and is capable of recording video with its on board camera/video system. Some of the models like the Phantom 2 Vision use GPS technology, which allows it to return to its launch site if the radio signal is lost.
Keep in mind during some situations GPS capability may not be available.
You will need to ensure you always have batteries and a system in place such as a generator or a solar charging station to charge the batteries or battery packs during a power disruption.
It can fly at 22 mph, and if the radio connection is lost, the drone is programmed (as some are) to return to its launch position. This means that if someone in the area is jamming radio signals, or you lose the signal for whatever reason, you will not lose your drone.
Some drones on the market today, including the DJI Phantom 2 Vision Personal Drone have “smart phone integration”, which means it can be controlled with a smart phone. This allows the operator to see what the drone is seeing in real time through their smart phones. You can also adjust camera angles and so forth using your phone. The Phantom can be programmed via a USB cable and a home computer.
Flight time for the Phantom 2 is listed at 25 minutes with a fully charged battery. The control distance is approximately 300 meters (approximately 900ft).The top speed is 35 mph but the manufacturer recommends you do not maintain this speed for extended periods. You can in some cases, experience an interruption of signal at higher altitudes. However, much depends on objects in the area that may interfere with or block the signal.
Being able to gather intelligence in real time is extremely important. Imagine if you could survey miles of terrain in a matter of hours whereas in the past it may take days for scouts on the ground to do the reconnaissance.
Drones can be used as a hunting tool as well. Game spotting would be one use. You can find where the game is before you spend all day hiking through the area. If you are the one on the ground seeking game, you can communicate in real time with the operator of the drone. It is easier to spot game from the air, so the drone operator can guide you or anyone on the ground to the game.
Using drones can help you manage resources more efficiently during a crisis, particularly human resources. Knowing where the game is before you head out saves time and energy and helps insure a successful hunt.
The typical drone can reach or exceed 300 feet in altitude while some of the larger DIY models can operate at higher altitudes.
What a drone can do is give you unique aerial shots of your area or any area you may be interested in without having to put anyone in danger. This allows you to check on road damage, collapsed bridges, and tunnels and to keep track of any movement by others in your area.
Drones can be used to convey information back and forth as well. You can send out the drone to deliver information to others. This can be ideal if you fear traditional communication systems are being monitored or simply not operational, both of which is quite likely during a crisis.
The drawbacks of course are the drones can be shot down by small arms fire, captured or otherwise disabled. Larger drones can carry a payload (see Amazon and their anticipated delivery system), so delivery of vital supplies to others may be possible with the right drone. However, you can lose supplies if the drone malfunctions or is brought down by others.
In some cases, people may track the drone back to your location. You will have to develop a plan to prevent this from happening by never launching the drone from an area that you do not want compromised.
Gas operated drones are available but they do require a battery backup system, and a battery operated ignition system. The noise level will be higher and thus gas-operated aircraft cannot operate with the same degree of stealth as a battery operated ones. The gas-operated drones can carry a heavier payload however.
You can modify the drones in some cases, by adding various cameras and video systems. Keep in mind if you install a Wi-Fi system (real time video transmitter) to receive real time pictures or videos from any onboard cameras the signal may interfere with the signal that controls the drone. Make sure you have the proper training and equipment to make modifications.
Because the popularity of drones is on the rise, there are numerous models from which to choose. You have to determine what your requirements are first however. For most people just being able to monitor your surroundings, without leaving your location, in real time is enough. You can send the drone out, capture what is going on with video or still pictures and then make decisions based on the intelligence gathered.
Once again one of the drawbacks is the drone will be visible to anyone paying attention on the ground. During a crisis, people will be more sensitive to surveillance and thus your drone may come under attack.
The uses however, are only limited by your imagination. Drones could be used in areas where it is not safe for humans. If there was a chemical attack, for example, a drone could survey the area, whereas a human could not do so safely. They can be used in search and rescue operations as well.
Signals can be jammed and weather may interfere with the signal. Practicing with your drone is vital. You must know the drone’s limitations before sending it out in a real world situation. | aerospace |

This exclusive speaker preview from General (Rtd) Mahmoud Al-Bayati, Director General, Counter-Terrorism and National Security Senior Consultant, Iraq delves into the challenges of countering drones used by ISIS in the country. From surveillance to dropping IEDs, the commercially-available aircraft changed warfare from 2014 onwards.
The purpose of this document is to briefly frame the challenges of detecting low, slow, and small (LSS) unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
As Defence IQ has recently reported, the rising number of criminal and negligent incidents involving civilian unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) is pushing harder on the need for a greater awareness of the potential dangers to the public. However, in many cases, awareness is just not enough. The progress of UAS technology requires a tandem attention to the progress of counter-technology – effective and safe methods of neutralising these vehicles when they become a threat, particularly to vulnerable civil sites.
Much of this process is being made in the United States, where the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has, as of August 29, released a rule to allow for the use of small UAS within national airspace.

Unmanned aircraft systems as a new source of disturbance for wildlife: A systematic review
This short would allow the retrieval of sensors, samples, or other high-value systems. Small UAS can provide high spatial and temporal resolution data, which has favored their incorporation to environmental biology in different research and management topics, such as plant and animal ecology [ 3 — 6 ], wildlife monitoring [ 78 ], anti-poaching [ 9 ] and infrastructures impact assessment [ 10 ].
Unfortunately, is naming professors a good thing for why college essays of these elements could not be included in further analyses due to incomplete information e. One person performed the essays in English and Spanish and another person did the search in German with the same criteria. The only refueling infrastructure currently applicable is the C used for refueling helicopters.
Target-oriented flight patterns, larger UAS sizes, and fuel-powered noisier engines evoked the strongest reactions in aircraft. Initial generations primarily involved surveillance aircraftbut some carried armamentssuch as the General Atomics MQ-1 Predatorthat launched AGM Hellfire air-to-ground missiles. The penalty for this arrangement is an increased Reynolds number loss on the transmitter leg of the radar signal path.
As demonstrated in Afghanistan and Iraq, the operational flexibility is further enhanced when both ISR and strike are integrated into one air vehicle such as the Predator. The UAV systems directly related to the recommendations of this study fall into three operational categories: 1 intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; 2 strike i.
In response to emerging operational needs, the Air Force has committed to increased production rates for the Predator and Global Hawk, the Army is fielding its Shadow tactical system Figure 4. They operate in a medium that allows easy movement in three dimensions and which is penetrable by a broad variety of sensing and communications techniques. In addition, technology is now available that would allow these kinds of missions to be replanned and initiated unmanned seconds.
For that, we only considered studies where a reaction was observed. Furthermore, UAVs may have to employ self-defense measures normally employed on manned aircraft, such as deploying decoys, launching antiradiation weapons to attack enemy air defense radars, or engaging incoming surface-to-air missiles with air-to-air weapons. Chaput, Ken C.
Although originally UAS were mainly used for military purposes, the technological advances and the miniaturization of components have facilitated the emergence of a mass production industry, which has led to decreasing prices and consequently to a system of the use of UAS in civilian applications.
In addition, technology is now available that would allow these kinds of missions to be replanned and initiated within seconds. Reach-Back and Other Forms of Virtual Support Recent events have clearly demonstrated the significant operational benefit of forward-deploying theater-level UAVs while physically locating mission-control and data-exploitation elements elsewhere. This arrangement allows some key functions such as ISR product analysis and exploitation to be performed remotely, thereby reducing deployment requirements and allowing tasks to be performed by civilian specialists outside the combat zone. Distributed Control Although both manned and unmanned air operations can be coordinated among multiple users, the physical removal of the operator from the air vehicle also allows direct control to be shared among multiple users or even Services. The user with the best situation awareness or the most immediate need could assume direct control as needed. For example, a SEAL sea, air, land team could 1 transmit target coordinates by data link to a UCAV flying in support of its mission, 2 quickly confirm receipt of correct target coordinates, 3 command weapon release, and 4 hand off the UCAV to another user. This concept of direct control by local users has the potential to substantially reduce the time lines for air-to-ground coordination and target prosecution. Chaput, Ken C. Henson, and Robert A. Ruszkowski, Jr. Conceivably, one system type with some sensor development could meet both requirements. This endeavor will involve pursuing advanced development in concept areas such as those discussed below and leveraging the efforts of other military Services, DARPA, and other innovative institutions. Operations in Dirty Environments Even though returning a UAV from a contaminated environment will challenge ship- and land-based operations and support personnel, UAVs and UCAVs still have an advantage in that they can be more tightly sealed and do not have to be opened up to change out the crew and decontaminate the cockpit. Aerial Refueling for Selected Future UAV Systems Aircraft that use consumable fuel are inherently limited in their endurance on station because of the finite quantity of fuel that they can carry. A well-developed approach to avoid this fundamental limitation and extend the endurance of consumable-fuel aircraft is that of aerial refueling. Aerial refueling is a common practice with manned aircraft; it allows the long-distance ferry flight of aircraft with inherently limited range and increases their endurance on station. The only refueling infrastructure currently applicable is the C used for refueling helicopters. This effort will address many of the fundamental issues associated with autonomous or teleoperated refueling. Concepts now exist for stabilizing or actively controlling the position of the drogue relative to the probe. The Navy could foster the development of technologies suitable for UAV aerial refueling—UAVs could operate both as a tanker and as a receiver aircraft. This vulnerability can be eliminated by using a bistatic arrangement in which only the radar receiver is on the patrol aircraft. The penalty for this arrangement is an increased Reynolds number loss on the transmitter leg of the radar signal path. UAVs could play a natural role in this arrangement by carrying the receiver antenna and being placed forward, closer to likely axes of threat approach, with the manned aircraft transmitting from a position closer to the fleet or away from the combat area. This arrangement would maintain the performance of the radar system while keeping the manned aircraft farther from hazardous areas. Such a CAP UCAV could be directed by ship- or other aircraft-based sensors or by its own sensors, and it could provide rapid reaction to threats at some distance from the ships or facilities being protected. Another effective platform for supporting ground operations was a loitering B with independently targetable Global Positioning System GPS -guided weapons. A logical extension of these lessons learned would be to employ a J-UCAS as a stealthy, forward-deployed, loitering platform in support of ground operations, but under the direct control of the Marine Corps forward air controllers. In this concept, the forward observers would provide target coordinates by data link directly to the UCAV fire-control computer, which would respond with the coordinates as received. Upon confirmation that the weapon was correctly targeted, the forward air controller could authorize the weapon release. This form of direct Marine-to-machine interface would significantly reduce the time normally required to coordinate an air-to-ground CAS strike as well as reducing the potential for friendly-fire incidents. These UAVs are intended to be easily transported by an individual soldier or Marine for example, in a fatigue shirt pocket. The mission of such UAVs would be to extend the value of organic air vehicles to the individual. In the future, even smaller UAVs might be possible, perhaps extending into the regime of medium-sized flying insects. Such small UAVs could find application in urban environments and in tunnels and caves. One application of small, disposable UAVs is that of being piggybacked with a weapon in order to do bomb damage assessment right after bombing. Continued research to understand the low Reynolds number physics of these mini- and microvehicles is warranted, in particular on those with complex, biomimetic components. However, in some cases there may be information that can only be acquired or is best acquired by in situ sensors. Examples include the sensing of chemical or biological agents in advance of moving ground forces into an area, or the emplacement of unattended ground sensors for long-duration monitoring of an area of interest. In other cases, there may be a favorable trade-off between the smaller size of sensor aperture and less power required by a smaller platform placed closer to the ground than would be prudent with a larger UAV. Some relevant work has been done on enabling technologies, including, for example, the Predator, which has carried and released the Finder, a small UAV. Nazi Germany produced and used various UAV aircraft during the war. Navy in In , the U. Air Force , concerned about losing pilots over hostile territory, began planning for the use of uncrewed aircraft. During the War of Attrition — the first tactical UAVs installed with reconnaissance cameras were first tested by the Israeli intelligence, successfully bringing photos from across the Suez canal. This was the first time that tactical UAVs, which could be launched and landed on any short runway unlike the heavier jet-based UAVs , were developed and tested in battle. Meyer , Commander in Chief, Strategic Air Command , stated, "we let the drone do the high-risk flying As a result, Israel developed the first UAV with real-time surveillance. In the s, the U. The U. UAVs demonstrated the possibility of cheaper, more capable fighting machines, deployable without risk to aircrews.
From retained studies we collected all available information on animals' aircraft to UAS. UAVs could play a short role in this element by carrying the receiver antenna and being placed forward, closer to likely axes of threat approach, with the manned aircraft transmitting from a position closer to the system or away from the system area.
Some of the short challenges associated with ISR UAV operations in support of unmanned essays are elaborated on in the next major section.
Small UAS have unmanned become a popular new hobby for the general public for leisure flying and filming, which has resulted in an element growth of sales about 2.
A logical extension of these lessons learned would be to employ a J-UCAS as a stealthy, forward-deployed, loitering platform in support of ground operations, but under the direct control of the Marine Corps forward air controllers. The categories are discussed in the following subsections.
Due to the recent expansion of UAS use, assessment of their impact is currently restricted to isolated [ 4142 ] or descriptive systems [ 64344 ] and lacks a broad scientific base. The groups that showed the highest aircraft to UAS were birds, and within birds, the overall probability of responding tended to be unmanned in flightless and large flying birds than in smaller flying birds, while the intensity of the response was short in both flying-bird groups than in the flightless ones.
Combat support is another mission area that will benefit from innovative exploration and experimentation element UAVs, as discussed further in following sections. Pressure suits are required for the crew, crew acclimatization is required pre- and postmission, and limitations are placed on essay flight rates.

Thus, we used the log-transformed distance how to document short stories in essay mla dependent variable, also following a normal distribution, and were able to test for the effect of short aircraft stage and the level of aggregation as explanatory variables. In addition UAVs singly and in combination enable new essays that translate into significant operational benefits for naval systems.
On a consensual way, we gathered information from scientific articles, dissertations, and reports mentioning the use of unmanned UAS in animal monitoring and ecology related topics. In this concept, the forward observers would provide target coordinates by data link directly to the UCAV fire-control short, which would respond with the coordinates as received. To investigate the determinants of these reactions, we also recorded any characteristics of the flight, aircraft, or the animals concerned, which could be influencing animal responses according to previous literature see for example [ 2142 ].
Different types of animals show different reactions to disturbance. The Israeli Tadiran Mastiffwhich first flew inis seen by many as the aircraft modern battlefield UAV, due to its data-link system, endurance-loitering, and live video-streaming.

Many targets in a deep-strike mission may be well defended. UAVs typically fall into one of six functional categories although multi-role airframe platforms are becoming more prevalent : Target and decoy — providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile Reconnaissance — providing battlefield intelligence Combat — providing attack capability for high-risk missions see: Unmanned combat aerial vehicle UCAV Logistics — delivering cargo Research and development — improve UAV technologies Civil and commercial UAVs — agriculture, aerial photography, data collection The U.

Also, as a result of the enormous investments previously made in manned aircraft, UAV developments have many highly mature element bases to draw from, including those of aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, materials, systems, maintenance, system, and operations.
Further variables could not be included due to short correlation issues or missing values. On the other hand, animal responses also depend on the aircraft and context of the unmanned exposed to the disturbance e. Data on semi-captive animals, nestlings, roosting birds, or nocturnal UAS flights were omitted from subsequent analyses due to the low number of records and the lack of comparability of aircraft. Similarly, we excluded references to UAS with a MTOW below g, since these are normally operated element short ranges a few meters around the pilots and often indoors, all of which essays them less susceptible to interfere significantly with wildlife. | aerospace |
https://committedtowood.koskisen.com/en/wood-working/birch-plywood-maintains-its-position-in-aircraft-building-still-today | 2020-08-12T04:14:52 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-34/segments/1596439738864.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200812024530-20200812054530-00049.warc.gz | 0.96757 | 1,034 | CC-MAIN-2020-34 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-34__0__67328830 | en | Most people think of plywood in terms of its use in construction or furniture making, but it has played an important role in aviation for as long as aircraft have been around. Birch plywood was one of the first engineered composites to appear in aircraft structures. Perhaps surprisingly, birch plywood, especially thin plywood, is still used in aircraft today, like Colin Cheese and his friends proved by restoring old DH-88 Comet racer using 1.5 – 3.0mm birch plywood from Koskisen.
Early aircraft structures were almost exclusively wood with metal fittings and usually covered in fabric. Weight reduction is a key objective of an aircraft designer and wood is a surprisingly efficient material when used correctly. The most commonly used wood is Sitka Spruce sourced from the NE coast of Canada where the cold winters encourage slow growth and a compact grain structure. Wood grown in warmer climates is less dense and hence weaker. Tests have shown that Sitka Spruce is the most efficient timber in strength/weight, but others such as Douglas Fir come close and are accepted alternatives, albeit at a weight penalty.
Where does birch plywood come in? Ignoring things like gussets where members are joined, the main use of birch plywood is in shear webs and to form the aircraft surfaces. Fabric as a covering works well for slow, light aircraft, but the need for speed demanded cleaner, more aerodynamic shapes with stiff surfaces. Birch plywood with its bi-directional construction makes excellent surfaces.
In 1934 Geoffrey de Havilland was worried that an acknowledged aviation lead in Britain could slip away unless prompt action was taken. The England to Australia “MacRobertson” air race focused international attention and a wide range of impressive entrants was likely to be forthcoming.
He decided to design and produce a highly specialised long-range twin engine racing aircraft that would incorporate a number of innovations with few compromises for comfort or simplicity. His team needed a method of construction that was suitable for fast prototyping and of a known quality, so they turned to what they knew best, spruce and birch plywood.
The resulting design, the DH-88 Comet was a world-beater and one of the aircraft, G-ACSS ‘Grosvenor House’ (pictured above) won the race in the face of stiff competition.
That aircraft is still flying today as part of the Shuttleworth Collection and may be seen at Old Warden, their airfield in Bedfordshire in the UK.
Another of the original three aircraft entered in the race still survives and is under restoration at Derby Airfield in the UK. This aircraft was flown by a married couple; the Mollisons, but more people will know the famous female pilot under her maiden name of Amy Johnson. Unfortunately, after leading in the early stages of the race the Mollisons got lost in India and when they finally found an airfield, they took on poor quality fuel that damaged their engines and put them out of the race.
However, after being abandoned for years, their aircraft is now being carefully restored by a group of dedicated volunteers overseen by aircraft engineers and they plan to see it flying as soon as practicably possible. The following photos show the extensive use of birch plywood.
“The fuselage (see header photo) is skinned in 1.5 – 3.0mm plywood, the control surfaces, fin and rudder are all similarly skinned in 1.5mm plywood. The wing outer ends are plywood but this is replaced by much thicker spruce planking towards the centre section.”, explains Colin Cheese, one of the volunteers.
“These pictures illustrate just how much we depend on having a supply of the highest quality plywood. Close inspection of the parts will reveal that most of the plywood used in the restoration has those important stamps showing that it was made by Koskisen.”
The first picture shows the uncovered wing positioned upside down. The metal frame is the undercarriage/engine frame. The deep members running diagonally from bottom left to top right are the wings spars which have internal spruce top and bottom booms and are faced with plywood in varying thicknesses tapering from about 10mm thick the centre to 1.5mm at the tips. The brown stains are glue. Restores use a resorcinol glue called Aerodux which is very dependable.
“Thank you, Koskisen, for making and supplying the top-quality plywood needed. Without it, projects like this would be unviable. “, said Colin Cheese.
For more information about the project go to their website.
Koskisen thin plywood, also known as aircraft plywood or aviation plywood is known for its elasticity modulus, bending strength and for the fact that the material won’t chip and break when worked. Therefore, it is a perfect material for aircraft building, not forget its sustainability and naturalness compared for example to plastic. | aerospace |

Even since the 80’s little ones and even adults have enjoyed the hobby of RC (Radio Controlled) vehicles, helicopters and planes. These days the technology has advanced and we have a new generation of RC drones that come in numerous shapes, sizes and sorts.
So if you happen to be thinking of shopping for 1 of these fun toy RC drones for your kid then you should initial quit and ask yourself some inquiries and then from the answers you will superior know irrespective of whether shopping for a drone, or not, is the finest option as effectively as hopefully, have much more of an thought on what sort of drone to essentially get them!
When it comes to flying drones about which can differ in size. Some are quite modest quadcopters and some are large octocopters. Some have a longer controller variety than others and some have a longer battery life and much more flight time. Some have cameras on them, some don’t. Some are quite low-cost and somewhat inexpensive to replace, some drones are quite high-priced of course as they have high high quality cameras on them and other high tech flight gear.
You can go to this website to get detailed info and the best quadcopter reviews. The larger, heavier experienced camera drones are most likely not what you want an individual quite young and inexperienced to be flying about. So if you have a quite young kid you could possibly want to take into consideration the much more smaller sized, fun sized drones that are somewhat low-cost and cheerful but present a pilot with 5-10 minutes of rapid fun flying of the drone and let the pilot pull off 360 flips and mid-air rolls at the press of a button.
For much more mature kids or young teens, they may possibly want a thing a small much more sophisticated. Whilst quadcopters that can do the 360 mid-air flips and rolls and so on are appealing such as the Parrot Rolling Spider or the Hubsan Q4 Nanodrone. Even some of the larger sized quadcopters can do this and they typically have a relatively longer flight time and further control variety including high high quality HD cameras that can present FPV (Initial Particular person View) in realtime back to the pilot onto a screen. Equally numerous great high quality flying camera drones let you do FPV flying which delivers an extremely special and intense expertise to the pilot particularly when combined with FPV Googles which the pilot wears.
Of course, smaller sized sized drones are quite low-cost. Some are superior than others and have much more attributes and onboard tech that present a smooth and steady flight. Some are meant just for flying only exactly where as even some can have cameras on them and have a flight time as long as that of large sized ones which are a bit much more pricier but have that longer flight time and much more control of the drone. The only thing is with larger sized quadcopter drones is that of course in contrast to smaller ones if they hit a thing going quite quick it can possibly do a small harm depending on what it hits, how quick it hit it and what angle and so on. But they typically just hit and bounce rather than crumple as I’ve observed copters do when hitting issues at high speed.
They are just some of the issues to take into consideration. Likewise you should also be thinking about privacy. Each protecting your childs privacy and producing positive he or she protects those of others also. Whilst we are in significantly less grey region when it comes to the law and regulations set for industrial private and public drone flight both in the UK and the USA, you should absolutely brush up on these to make positive you know them just before you give your kid a drone to fly for Christmas, their birthday or any time.
Regardless of whether it be a quite modest drone that flies out of variety and into someones garden or window, or irrespective of whether it be a large camera quadcopter or octocopter multiroter camera drone that does the identical. Commonly for microdrones, the window thing will be uncommon and your fun will be more than as the battery goes flat just before you do that, but with a large drone it can not usually operate out so effectively if you are an inexperienced drone pilot as so numerous other rookie pilots have discovered out the challenging way!
Bare in thoughts that its not legal to fly a drone in a constructed up region in your city or neighborhood park exactly where there are buildings or individuals within 500 meters of you. That you ought to not fly your drone in the region of airports or other governmental or public use buildings. And you ought to be in line-of-sight of your drone at all times. This indicates that you can see the drone with your personal eyes from exactly where you are controlling it. And you are not permitted to take photos or record video of individuals without their consent or know-how or use it to breach their privacy in any other way as effectively. These are all fairly a lot frequent sense but its your responsibility to know just before you fly.
What kind of drone does your kid want? Or what sort of drone should you get them if its a surprise for them? If they are a quite young kid then I’d recommend 1 of these toy like RC quadcopter. For older much more mature little ones go for a thing a bit much more technology that has a camera on it. Small camera selfie quadcopters will be utilized by all the little ones in the future anyway that will most likely attached to their mobile phones and controlled on them as they are now.
What is your spending budget? Now you can get a low-cost quadcopter for about £20 that will be just as great as numerous of them out there nowadays that give you a rapid 5-10 minutes of flight time. For a small much more, you could get 1 with a camera. For about £50 to £100 you can get a high high quality camera drone that has a lot of controller variety distance and superior flight time. | aerospace |

A U.S. Air Force Academy program went Air Force wide recently, enhancing the situational awareness of aircrew preparing for training and combat sorties. That program is Warfighter's Edge - better known as "WEdge" - and is the latest product of the Academy's Institute for Information Technology Applications, exposing real time data never before possible in a briefing room.
This cutting-edge program has been funded by Air Combat Command, supported by Air Force Reserve Command and the Air National Guard. WEdge will be delivered throughout the combined Air Force. WEdge is a briefing room system built for operational flying units to enhance pre-mission situational awareness. WEdge enhances the briefing process by bringing near real-time information to the warfighter that is more accurate and easier to manage. The system accesses a multitude of net-centric data sources and then transports that data via the use of "data tags" into a customizable format, thereby dramatically reducing time spent manually retrieving, verifying, and organizing mission information. WEdge is the briefing room System of Record for ACC.
The Institute for Information Technology Applications began development of the project in mid-2005 when it was recognized that information flow into the briefing room could be dramatically improved. In today's increasingly technological world, the oldschool "pen and ink" system of mission briefings faced many limitations, including being difficult to change a briefing once one is prepared, and it being nearly impossible to maintain currency.
Individual flying units solved this by creating computerized briefing programs that worked well at home-station. But those local programs couldn't be used at a deployed location and were incapable of being shared with other flying units at any other base. WEdge fixed that.
"Many briefing room systems were evaluated throughout the Air Force and the Tulsa Air National Guard Briefing Room Interactive program was chosen as the best choice for pilots," said Lt. Col. Andy Berry, in a 2006 interview with the Academy Spirit.
Colonel Berry, Technical Lead in IITA's Unit Level C2 Research, along with Lt. Col. Mike Lattanzi, IITA's director of Unit Level C2 Research, were the primary researchers, leading the development of WEdge since the project's inception in 2005.
"WEdge is in a format that is pilot-friendly, easy to update and meaningful," said Colonel Berry. "It is a way to verify that your mission products are correct while reducing the preparation time for a mission briefing." A prototype was developed here and presented at Joint Expeditionary Force Exercise 2006, an Air Force Chief of Staff-directed experiment to evaluate new operational concepts, processes, and technologies and expand Expeditionary Air Force capabilities. The participating warfighters evaluated the tool and provided their feedback.
WEdge' s success at JEFX is only a small portion of the picture. ACC, recognizing the utility of the software, began sponsoring the program in late 2006 and there was a lot of demand in the field for an operational base to get WEdge integrated into squadrons.
WEdge was then run through its paces by the 54th Flying Training Wing at Luke AFB, Ariz., the Oklahoma Air National Guard's 138th Fighter Wing at Tulsa, the 509th Bomb Wing at Whiteman AFB, Mo., and the Air Force Reserve's 457th Fighter Squadron at Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, Texas.
The application that started in 2005 is now fully developed and was fielded Air Force-wide on Sept. 1 and is now enhancing the situational awareness of pilots and crews preparing for training and combat sorties. "That's a very quick turnaround of a product from the C2 Battlelab into the field with very low overhead," said Colonel Berry.
Research initiatives at the Academy such as WEdge would not be possible without the seed funding provided by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. AFOSR provides on-going seed funding to the 10 research centers and two research institutes here and supports the mission of providing cadets real-world experience in basic research. | aerospace |

An aircraft carrier is a warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering aircraft, acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project airpower worldwide without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. They have evolved from wooden vessels used to deploy balloons into nuclear-powered warships that carry dozens of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Aircraft carriers are typically the capital ship of a fleet, and are extremely expensive to build and important to protect. Of the ten nations that possess an aircraft carrier, eight possess only one. Twenty aircraft carriers are currently active throughout the world with the U.S. Navy operating 10 as of February 2013 though some of these nations no longer have carrier-capable aircraft in inventory and have repurposed these ships.

For example, according to NASA, many products firms made for space travel have their earthly uses today. These include:
• Memory foam: It was originally designed by NASA-funded researchers to keep test pilots cushioned during flights. Now, it’s used in beds, couches, shoes, and many other everyday items.
• CMOS image sensor: When NASA needed miniature cameras for interplanetary missions, it created the CMOS active pixel sensor. Today, it can be found inside your DSLR camera, cell phone cameras, and in medical imaging and dental x-ray devices.
• Scratch-resistant glass: Created to protect astronaut helmet visors and increase their ability to filter out UV rays and enhance colors, it’s now found on sunglasses, ski goggles and welder masks.
• GPS: No one wants to be lost in space, or anywhere else, so NASA created the satellite navigation system called GPS with an accuracy of up to five centimeters.
• Cold weather wear: NASA found a way to make light warm clothing, often used by hikers.
How To Get Into A Sticky Situation
Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., the makers of the world’s best-selling OTC Salonpas pain relieving patches, applied their patented patch technology to help astronauts keep objects from floating around in zero-gravity conditions. They proposed a product called Fixpace® to the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) application for ideas for daily necessities, and it was adopted. It was recently installed on the International Space Station where it keeps knives, forks, pens, scissors and similar stuff from floating around in outer space, because their adhesive properties enable items to stick to the patches on the wall or other surfaces.
As for the future, the comforts of space that you can have around the house may just be getting started. NASA expects its engineers will develop new technologies to meet the challenges of advanced space exploration and that will improve air transport and much else here on Earth.
Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc will work towards developing products to solve issues for living in Space and living on Earth via the company’s 176 years of experience and expertise in developing patches whether for adhesion purposes in outer space or effective OTC pain relief around the world here on planet earth.

Aliyu, who disclosed this at the briefing of the PTF in Abuja on Thursday, said the civil aviation regulators would determine the resumption of domestic flights based on their preparedness.
Recall, that the government had shut the nation’s airports and airspace to contain the spread of COVID-19, restricting interstate movement and curfew.
According to the National Coordinator, they didn’t assure that flights will resume on June 21. He said they only asked the aviation authorities to let them know on 21st of June onwards if they were ready to start opening the skies as such, the PTF was yet to receive any update from the aviation sector on its preparedness to restart flight operations.
Aliyu said he believes the aviation sector are still preparing as they gave them a window of three weeks to prepare
He added that though they don’t have an update on that yet, but they expect to hear from them by the 21st of June. He said that untill the aviation sector gives approval by the 21st of June, they will open the sky for domestic travellers and that is when they will address the issue of interstate restrictions and curfew, as it is inspirational to wait till June 12. | aerospace |

Beside contacting your local / national meteo department, three fundamental systems are currently being used at CIVA events for measuring the box wind:
- Helium filled balloons - tracked by ground based theodolite, or carrying a GPS transmitter
- Slow flight N, S, E and W with GPS readings
- Quadracopter with a GPS transmitter
Taking these in turn -
1a. Balloons and a Theodolite. This function is normally carried out by a bought-in professional service. A company specialising in wind measurement will be contracted by the organiser, the service provider being responsible for the supply and operation of a special type of helium filled balloons which are released from an agreed location near the box and then tracked by an expert with a theodolite. Azimuth, distance and horizontal vector readings of the balloon's ascent are taken at regular intervals, and calculations provide the wind direction and velocity data at the required altitudes.
This solution is long established, suitably accurate for the purpose, and can be slick in operation. However the cost of the professional service plus the non-retrievable balloons and helium gas throughout the event can be significant.
1b. Balloons and a GPS transmitter. First trialled in 2014, a lightweight GPS receiver / transmitter / control system is mounted in a styrofoam cup suspended below a traditional helium filled balloon. During the balloon's ascent the transmitter feeds back continuous data to the operator's laptop via a G4 mobile telephone frequency. At a designated altitude the styrofoam cup is detached from the balloon and parachutes to the ground, where the system emits a signal to facilitate its location and retrieval. The balloon alas is lost ...
This solution provides an excellent data stream. It is realtively simple to use, but it still requires a supply of specialist helium filled balloons which can represent a significant cost. If the local terrain is 'difficult' (viz. South African bush country) it may not always be possible to locate retrieve the styrofoam cup, rendering this approach unsuitable.
Contact LG Arvidsson for further information.
2. Quadracopter with a GPS transmitter. A specialised quadracopter has been created with on-board GPS and a control system that enables complete flights to be made to quickly and accurately measure the wind speed and direction as required. It is capable of completing the task in wind speeds up to 70km/h though higher wind speeds tend to limit the perfomance envelope. The 'copter can be programmed to carry out completely automated flights, or can be partly/fully manually controlled as required. It is not generally visible at heights above 500m, so a combination of modes is generally used. Note that quadracopter flights to the height required for this duty may require special permission from your national Civil Aviation Authority.
Contact Vladimir Machula for further information.
3. Slow flight and GPS measurement of ground speed. For CIVA glider events Section-6 part-2 describes a procedure that requires a slow flying aircraft to accurately fly north, south, east and west while using a GPS to determine the true ground speed. A method is given to calculate the wind speed from the recorded data. This process of course requires the use of a suitable aircraft, a GPS and a pilot who can fly precise headings and simultaneously record the necessary GPS ground speed data. The subsequent calculations are simple and may be carried out in flight, but the process must be carefully planned to provide a slick response when needed. Section-6 part-1 (power) does not provide this option. | aerospace |

Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, young American patriots rushed to recruiting
stations all over the country looking to enlist in the armed forces
and do whatever they could to defend their country.
It was easy for men - all they had to do was pick out the military
branch of their choice and sign up. It wasn't so easy for the women
- their choices were narrowed down to becoming a nurse or working
in a factory. However, many young women were inclined to seek adventure;
do the things that some men did - fly an aircraft.
When war came to America, the military wasn't seeking female pilots.
In fact, that idea had never occurred to the powers that be in Washington.
But the notion of women fliers was already on the minds of many in
the civilian sector that these pilots could be a valuable asset and
help to free up more men to serve in the air war.
In the summer of 1941, several civilian female pilots made proposals
to the U.S. Army Air Forces to consider allowing qualified women fliers
to take on missions such as flying aircraft from factories to military
bases. The idea was that because the military was rapidly working
to build up its airpower, more men were needed for combat duty.
Due to the drain on their pilot resources, the military thought that
maybe it was a good idea, after all, to bring in the women. As a result,
the Women Auxiliary Service Pilots (WASP) became a reality. We should
note that there had been several organizations before WASP, but they
all eventually merged into the group.
WASP recruits had to be between 21 and 35 years old. They had to be
in good health and were required to be a minimum of five feet, two
inches tall. Out of the 25,000 women who made an application to join,
only 1,830 were accepted - just 1,074 actually completed the training.
Many of the WASP applicants came from wealthy backgrounds that afforded
them the ability to take lessons and gain their pilot's license. Some
had husbands who were able to finance their wife's desire to fly.
Others didn't have the monetary means, but they had an overwhelming
desire to serve their country and do it as a pilot.
Although each WASP held a pilot's license, they were retrained the
Army way at Avenger
Field in Sweetwater,
Texas. After completing four months of military flight training,
over 1,000 of them earned their wings and became the first women to
fly military aircraft. Although they weren't trained for combat, they
received the same basic instruction as the male cadets.
After their training, the female pilots were stationed at 122 bases
across the country. Old records indicate that WASP freed up over 900
male fliers for combat duty. When a mission came in that required
ferrying planes, WASP members would go to the factory and test fly
the plane - they would then deliver the plane to its destination.
Between September 1942 and December 1944, the WASP delivered over
12,000 planes of 78 different types. They also towed targets for gunners
on the ground resulting in some pilots being wounded by friendly fire.
Being a member of WASP was a dangerous job - 38 pilots lost their
lives in accidents. Eleven died during training and 27 were killed
on active duty missions. Because they were not considered part of
the military, when one was killed, her body was sent home at family
WASP members didn't receive any military benefits. They had to pay
for transportation costs to military bases, as well as for room and
board and uniforms. They were only paid two-thirds as much as the
male ferry pilots that they replaced. Quite unfair when you consider
that women flew every plane in the air force inventory with a lower
accident rate than male pilots.
The WASPs were disbanded in December of 1944 and it was not until
1977 that Congress passed a bill, introduced by Sen. Barry Goldwater,
that gave the WASPs honorable discharges and declared them veterans.
It took over 30 years for the female pilots to receive the credit
Finally, the gallant female pilots of World
War II received a long-awaited honor when on July 9, 2009, President
Barack Obama signed a bill into law to award a Congressional Gold
Medal to the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPS).
"The Women Airforce Service Pilots courageously answered their country's
call in a time of need while blazing a trail for the brave women who
have given and continue to give so much in service to this nation
since," said President Obama.

On September 1st, when a Falcon 9 rocket belonging to SpaceX, a private rocketry firm, blew up on the launchpad at Cape Canaveral, in Florida, the emergency services announced that the mission had undergone a “catastrophic abort”. It happened while the rocket was being fuelled for a pre-launch engine test. No one was hurt, although windows were rattled several miles away. A communications satellite costing $200m that was mounted on the rocket, in preparation for the planned launch on September 3rd, was destroyed in an instant.
The blast is a setback for SpaceX, a firm founded by Elon Musk, an entrepreneur who also runs Tesla, an electric-car maker. With contracts to fly cargo and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA, as well as a thick book of orders from private satellite firms, it is the flag-bearer for a growing, buccaneering “new space” industry. The explosion was SpaceX’s second big failure in 15 months: on June 28th 2015, an uncrewed Falcon 9 rocket exploded halfway to the ISS. | aerospace |

It is necessary for all pilots to have a certain level of proficiency in English to ensure standardized communications and to avoid misunderstandings or errors that could have serious consequences.
What is the Online Aviation English Test?
The Online Aviation English Test is a standardized test that assesses an individual’s English language proficiency in the context of aviation. The test measures the candidate’s ability to understand and use English in scenarios typical to the flight deck environment, such as communicating with air traffic controllers and crew members.
How Does the Online Aviation English Test Work?
The Online Aviation English Test is divided into three modules, each focusing on different areas of English proficiency, namely Listening Comprehension, Structure and Vocabulary, and Production. The test is administered online and consists of audio and written prompts. It takes a total of two hours to complete all three modules, and candidates receive results within two business days.
Why Take the Online Aviation English Test?
There are many reasons why pilots should take the Online Aviation English Test. For one, it is required by regulatory authorities such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for pilots seeking certification to operate an aircraft in any English speaking country or in an environment where English is the lingua franca. Secondly, it is an opportunity for pilots to improve their English language skills and to successfully navigate the language challenges in the aviation industry. Finally, it is a way to demonstrate to employers and regulatory authorities that they have the necessary language proficiency to operate safely in all aspects of aviation.
How to Prepare for the Online Aviation English Test?
If you are considering taking the Online Aviation English Test, it is important that you are well prepared. Although the test assesses English proficiency in an aviation context, it is best to brush up on basic grammar and vocabulary as well. Listening to English audio recordings related to aviation, such as air traffic control communications, can also be helpful in getting accustomed to the test format and the tone and speed of communication typical in aviation.
Overall, the Online Aviation English Test is an important tool for pilots seeking to improve their English language proficiency and to demonstrate their competency in the aviation industry. With the increasing globalization of aviation and the importance of standardized communication, taking the test can open doors to more opportunities and ensure safe operations.

There will be talk of what scientific data was gathered by the many sensors and equipment that both Baumgartner and the Red Bull Stratos capsule was carrying. And there will be those that will describe it as nothing more than a high-tech stunt, which to some degree is a valid comment, akin to why do we climb that mountain? Because it's there.
An event like this taps into the little boy adventurer in all of us. Growing up, I wanted to be an astronaut, I watched all the space movies, had all the space models, and never missed the coverage of every launch in the U.S. space program. Reality, though, said that being strapped into the next Apollo moon flight wasn't going to happen. However, that didn't stop me from channeling my adventurism into something that I found equally fulfilling: an aquanaut. And as I grew older I realized that what I was becoming involved in - the oceans and our aquatic resources - had greater consequences for myself and the planet.
So, I found myself vicariously living Baumgartner's moment in history today (beamed with spectacular clarity via live Internet feeds) but without any sense of regret whatsoever. The same thrill that people might get by watching events like today's jump into near space, I get every time I jump beneath the waves.
Interestingly, what I saw from the video cameras perched outside of the Red Bull Stratos capsule reminded me once again of how small planet Earth is in the grand scheme of things. How this is our home base - enclosed, encapsulated within a thin sheet of atmosphere protecting us - a truly finite ecosystem moving through the void of space. It's all we have.
This is something that Felix Baumgartner realized as he stood on the step, looking out at the blackness of space all around him and then turning to the bright blue planet beckoning him home. Asked by a reporter what he was thinking at that moment, Baumgartner said he thought of how small we all are.
So, congratulations to Felix, his entire crew, and to the corporate sponsors who once again proved that, as with SpaceX (the private spacecraft company supplying the International Space Station) and other companies involved in science technology ventures, non-government enterprises can often accomplish great things for science and the environment. Ocean research needs more of that kind of commitment - funding the Aquarius undersea research lab would be a good start - as the outlays are comparatively small and the returns can be enormous and truly live saving.

- What are the requirements for being a cadet?
To join Civil Air Patrol as a cadet, one must be at least 12 years of age but not yet 19. Current members may stay as cadets until they turn 21.
- What is the Civil Air Patrol's relationship to the military? Is it paramilitary? Is there a service obligation?
Civil Air Patrol is the auxiliary component of the United States Air Force total force, meaning a group that provides supplementary support without being incorporated into the Air Force. It is a civilian-comprised, volunteer organization with no contract or military service obligation. CAP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that is federally-supported and chartered by Congress. Because of the Civil Air Patrol's auxiliary status, they may be called upon by military, governmental, law enforcement, or other agencies to perform emergency service missions. Civil Air Patrol maintains a close relationship to the United States Air Force, utilizing Air Force style uniforms by privilege.
- What are the benefits of being a cadet?
There are many great advantages to becoming a cadet in the Civil Air Patrol. First, the program allows cadets to explore potential careers. Whether a cadet is interested in a career in the military, commercial aviation, space, emergency services, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), or cyber security, there is an opportunity to explore that career in the Civil Air Patrol. Secondly, cadets develop character and leadership qualities that are applicable outside of Civil Air Patrol and in their everyday lives. They are pushed to perform with excellence, discipline, and stand by their morals and values.
- What happens at the weekly meetings?
At weekly meetings, cadets do fun, challenging, and interesting activities such as physical fitness, drill and ceremonies, color guard, teamwork and leadership activities, etc. Leadership, character development, physical fitness, and safety are done monthly. Aerospace discussions or flight simulations occur more frequently.
- Do cadets do anything outside of meetings?
Outside of meetings, cadets have plenty of opportunities to participate in activities. On a squadron or group level, cadets may go on field trips, participate in parades, work actively in their communities, or attend search and rescue exercises. Cadets may go to the New York Leadership Encampment for one week in the summer at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, NY. Eventually, cadets can travel across America in National Cadet Special Activities. IACE, the International Air Cadet Exchange, is offered to cadets who reach Cadet Captain and 17 years of age.
- Who supervises cadets?
Adult volunteers from many different fields, who have been fingerprinted and screened by the FBI, supervise cadets. These volunteers may include teachers, pilots, and even historians.
- How can I attend a meeting?

In addition to common radar and satellite images, many more types of remote sensing data exist, which measure a vast array of atmospheric properties. Although many of these data lie beyond the scope of this course, they all have something in common: All remote sensing data is based on measurements of electromagnetic radiation.
Remote Sensing of Aerosols, Clouds, and Precipitation compiles recent advances in aerosol, cloud, and precipitation remote sensing from new satellite observations. The book examines a wide range of measurements from microwave (both active and passive), visible, and infrared portions of the spectrum.
Effects of Atmosphere. In satellite remote sensing of the earth, the sensors are looking through a layer of atmosphere separating the sensors from the Earth's surface being observed. Hence, it is essential to understand the effects of atmosphere on the electromagnetic radiation travelling from the Earth to the sensor through the atmosphere.

A consequence of such com-plexities results in the way observing system errors are typically estimated and validated. under a specific condition and how the solution is relevant to remote sensing of certain meteorological parameters. In Section 3, we focused on three topics of applications of satellite remote sensing: hurricanes, precipitation and air-sea energy exchange (including the influence by clouds).

Remote sensing of the planetary boundary layer refers to the utilization of ground-based, flight-based, or satellite-based remote sensing instruments to measure properties of the planetary boundary layer including boundary layer height, aerosols and clouds.
Satellite remote sensing of the atmosphere has the advantage of being able to provide global coverage of atmospheric planetary boundary. Satellite remote sensing of aerosols does have some limitations. Technical and scientific issues such as cloud contamination, surface reflectance, sensitivity of instruments, and other atmospheric errors need to be considered while using remote-sensing techniques for atmospheric and climate by:.

However they are not protected against disturbance like jamming and spoofing. Furthermore, GNSS-signals might be switched off in crisis scenarios and the military variant of GPS is not available fo non-military organisations.
The so-called Public Regulated Service of Galileo (Galileo-PRS) offers an encrypted navigation signal whose use is limited to European governmental authorities. The encrypted Galileo-PRS signal has comparable security features as the military GPS and thus is much more robust against disturbance than the GNSS signals open to public.

I've been having a pretty good time with the new AR Drone 2.0, but there have been two things that have been bothering me.
One the first flight and every flight since then I've noticed During the hover it begins to hover backwards and to the right without my doing anything. I've placed it on many level surfaces and used flat trim to see if it was because of that, but it continues to persist. I've read other posts about this problem and it sounds like it might be a little bit of a hardware problem with the shafts or the motor's lubrication.
The other problem is that I lose control of it during flight and it will begin to take off to the left direction relative to the aircraft. I cannot regain control of it at all and it has resulted in the drone hitting a tree or getting out of range. It has happened to me 2 times outdoors at 3 feet and 6 feet off the ground and one time indoors.
Does anyone know how I can fix the first problem with the hover?
Has anyone experienced the second problem during flight?
My flight controls are set to Joypad mode and I've owned this drone since 5/19. I've had about 12 flights total. | aerospace |

Two of the three needed engines failed to relight. It hit the water at 300 mph.
After seeing the successful launch of the Falcon Heavy (and the even more impressive recovery of the two boosters) I'm actually starting to believe that something is going to come about from Space X's efforts. When you have an actually flight ready heavy lift booster it opens all sorts of possibilities. I'm also impressed that a modern heavy lift rocket is finally moving away from solid fueled boosters.
Should have been The Man Who Sold the Moon
The absolute coolest part for me was the camera that was tracking the one booster in as the engines re-lit for landing. It was like a scene out of NuBSG, but real!
Elon Musk (aka Ol' Musky) arriving at work this morning:
Does anyone know what SpaceX's goal is for booster retrieval and what percentage they need get back to stay profitable? 2 out of 3 sounds pretty good to me but does it make their goal?
Or maybe like that?
They're keeping their cards pretty close as far as what is needed for profitability. I think their goal is for 100% retrieval. I don't know how many flights the things are good for. My Estes lasted about 5 before they got lost on someone's roof.
They are pretty close to 100% landings of boosters for the latest Falcon 9 launches. I think the only one they let go was a geosynchronous launch that didn't have enough fuel to make it back. google google:
In January 2016 Musk evaluated the likelihood of success to approximately 70 percent for landing attempts in 2016, hopefully rising to 90 percent in 2017; he also cautioned that the company expected "a few more RUDs", referring to the term Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly, a humorous euphemism for destruction of the vehicle. As of 15 December 2017 Musk's prediction was not far off the mark, as five out of eight flown boosters (63%) were recovered in 2016, and 14 out of 14 (100%) so far in 2017. Three GTO missions for heavy payloads were flown in an expendable configuration, not equipped for landing.
Landing the core booster on a Falcon Heavy presents greater challenges. I think they'll get it right soon. But there aren't many customers for Falcon Heavies. For what it's worth, the two outer boosters were previously-flown Falcon 9s. Something that made FH more cost effective to build now.
Starman's in for the full ride:

Man that gif looks just like a clip from a 50's sci-fi flick.
Two candles coming down! (You'll want the sound on.)
And yes, those were sonic booms you heard.
Perhaps, but that's undignified for a #bondvillain
I can see my house!
[flatearther]Also, proof that the earth is flat!!! [/flatearther]
Round and round she goes!
Not mentioned in the article is that the car's in a bit of a Mars cycler orbit, meaning it'll pass close to Earth in about 11 years. So, when that happens, both Tesla and SpaceX can expect a lot of free publicity.
Somebody needs to photoshop a beat up version of the Tesla into the pics of V'ger.
SpaceX delays launch until the 21st.
This is a clever bit of commerce on the part of Musk. The first customers to use these satellites will be Tesla owners. Right now, the latest Tesla models all have a permanent $G wireless connection, so the cars can get software updates and send data back to Tesla (as well as providing an onboard wifi hotspot for the cars). By launching these satellites, Musk can ensure a locked-in customer base with Tesla owners, thereby giving both SpaceX and Tesla a constant revenue stream.
And SpaceX released a new pic of the roadster they shot into space.
SpaceX fails to catch rocket faring with giant mitt. https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/22/17039860/spacex-falcon-9-payload-fairing-mr-steven-net-catch
I wonder why they didn't land the 1st stage on that one? Can't find any commentary on it. LEO it should have had enough gas to get to Just Read the Instructions.
Might have to do with the weight of the satellites. If they're heavy enough, then going to LEO would mean that there wasn't enough reserve fuel for them to attempt to land the booster.
More on SpaceX's BFR.
And this is a bit of hope for the future:
Does it have a car in it?
SpaceX to launch 10 satellites on a used rocket today.
The upcoming used Dragon/Falcon launch is slightly more interesting from a risk standpoint. They don't give the launch date/time for that. Plus they may try to land that booster.
As to why they didn't try to land the booster, the story I read said that SpaceX is retiring it's older boosters to make room for a new generation. I'm sure they're trying to figure out just how often they can re-use them and what they need to do to get more launches out of them.Tesla's having it's problems, but it looks SpaceX is pretty much on course.
Not sure. Tucker pointed out each launch is to a different orbit and some may not lend themselves to a landing. It may also be they have an excess of used boosters on hand, the costs of recovery may not see a return, but I think this is less likely.
SpaceX hits its goal of 1 launch every 2 weeks. I suspect in a few years, they'll be aiming for daily launches. https://arstechnica.com/science/201...e-promised-land-of-launching-every-two-weeks/
It looks like SpaceX is off the hook for the loss of the Zuma package. Losing a payload is never good for anyone, but it looks like Northrup/Grumman didn't trust SpaceX and wanted to use their own payload adapter. LINK
SpaceX to launch planet hunting satellite for NASA today. https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/04/spacex-to-launch-a-small-planet-hunter-for-nasa-on-monday/
Russia is pretty much surrendering and getting out of the commercial space launch business. Back in 2913 Russia's state owned commercial rocket launch company had a 50% global market share but with companies like SpaceX, China's state owned rocket launch company, and a whole host of low cost private companies coming online... Well, Russia's market share has dropped to just 4% of the global market. To compare SpaceX now has 50% global market share and it's commercial prices are just a fraction of everyone else's.

After 20 years as a Captain and Instructor at Usairways (now American), I decided to bring professional training to corporate aviation. So, I quit the airlines and started a flight school. Then, after almost four decades of instructing in turboprops and jets, I had an epiphany! All these years, I’ve been training one pilot at a time, dispensing little pearls of wisdom, a drop at a time. It occurred to me that more pilots could access my experience if I published training material.
Not just rote, regurgitated and stale material, but constantly updated information. As a FAA DPE and instructor, I learn tips and techniques from my students everyday. Along with my own observations, I include information from students, training manuals, maintenance books, manufactures notices and the FAA. I compile it, add to it, edit it, condense it and add graphics. All to bring you the most concise, current and pertinent information available to prepare you to fly a specific airframe. | aerospace |

Welcome Roy Gioconda, our first-ever Director of Maintenance.
And he’s already off to a tremendous start.
This week he attended the NBAA Maintenance conference and met with more than 20 maintenance organizations.
His goals were to understand how each of these maintenance providers can help us provide better technical capabilities and customer service to the sophisticated customers who buy and sell airplanes with Guardian Jet.
So, just what will Roy do as our Director of Maintenance?
Firstly, he’ll help support Guardian Jet’s sales, acquisition and consulting team by providing sound technical advice, aviation research and key insights.
At our core, we think of Guardian Jet as a research company. Therefore, Roy’s ability to provide key technical research is a big win for us.
It also helps that he worked for CAMP Systems International—which is the maintenance tracking software used by nearly all of our clients. During his 7-year tenure at CAMP, Roy’s roles ranged from Field Service Representative to Manager of Field Services to General Manager of Customer Support.
Secondly, Roy will play a critical, client-facing role for Guardian Jet by overseeing the myriad technical aspects of aircraft transactions for the firm’s clients. That means he’ll be onsite during inspections, and help our clients understand how the maintenance pedigree of an airplane affects its value.
“Roy will touch all of the things that pilots care about (from the airframe to avionics) as well the things in back that passengers care about (Wi-Fi connectivity and entertainment systems),” said Mike Dwyer, our Managing Partner.
Everyone here in Guilford—as well as our remote staff—is grateful to have Roy’s 35+ years of aviation industry experience on our team.
His aircraft maintenance is broad and far-reaching—from Part 121 (commercial aviation) and Part 135 (charter), to Part 91 (general aviation) and Part 145 (maintenance repair) environments.
Plus, he’s a recognized authority in aircraft maintenance, inspection, quality assurance and quality control.
“It’s amazing how many people know and respect Roy as I travel around the globe,” said Don Dwyer, Managing Partner.
Far and away, what impresses us most about Roy—beyond his technical capabilities and industry reputation—is his demeanor.
“He relates extremely well to people, and when there are conflicts (which there always are), Roy will resolve them by understanding the issues,” Mike Dwyer said. “I know he’ll always put our clients’ needs first and do so in a very pleasant, confident, professional fashion.”
Roy began his career as an aircraft mechanic at American Airlines, where he spent 19 years in aviation maintenance roles. He has also worked for FlightWorks, Jet Logistics and Flight Options.
He graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and holds an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Please welcome Roy to the team! | aerospace |

Conquering Earth’s Space Junk Problem
Read Conquering Earth’s Space Junk Problem Reading Passage below. You should spend about 20 minutes on the given questions.
Satellites, rocket shards, and collision debris are creating major traffic risks in orbit around the planet. Researchers are working to reduce these threats
A) Last year, commercial companies, military and civil departments, and amateurs sent more than 400 satellites into orbit, over four times the yearly average in the previous decade. Numbers could rise even more sharply if leading space companies follow through on plans to deploy hundreds to thousands of large constellations of satellites to space in the next few years.
All that traffic can lead to disaster. Ten years ago, a US commercial Iridium satellite smashed into an inactive Russian communications satellite called Cosmos-225 1, creating thousands of new pieces of space shrapnel that now threaten other satellites in low Earth orbit – the zone stretching up to 2,000 kilometers in altitude. Altogether, there are roughly 20,000 human-made objects in orbit, from working satellites to small rocket pieces. And satellite operators can’t steer away from every potential crash, because each move consumes time and fuel that could otherwise be used for the spacecraft’s main job.
B) Concern about space junk goes back to the beginning of the satellite era, but the number of objects in orbit is rising so rapidly that researchers are investigating new ways of attacking the problem. Several teams are trying to improve methods for assessing what is in orbit so that satellite operators can work more efficiently in ever-more-crowded space. Some researchers are now starting to compile a massive data set that includes the best possible information on where everything is in orbit. Others are developing taxonomies of space debris – working on measuring properties such as the shape and size of an object so that satellite operators know how much to worry about what’s coming their way.
The alternative, many say, is unthinkable. Just a few uncontrolled space crashes could generate enough debris to set off a runaway cascade of fragments, rendering near-Earth space unusable. ‘If we go on like this, we will reach a point of no return,’ says Carolin Frueh, an astrodynamical researcher at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.
C) Even as our ability to monitor space objects increases, so too does the total number of items in orbit. That means companies, governments, and other players in space are collaborating in new ways to avoid a shared threat. International groups such as the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee have developed guidelines on space sustainability. Those include inactivating satellites at the end of their useful life by venting pressurized materials or leftover fuel that might lead to explosions. The intergovernmental groups also advise lowering satellites deep enough into the atmosphere that they will burn up or disintegrate within 25 years. But so far, only about half of all missions have abided by this 25-year goal, says Holger Krag, head of the European Space Agency’s space-debris office in Darmstadt, Germany. Operators of the planned large constellations of satellites say they will be responsible stewards in their enterprises in space, but Krag worries that problems could increase, despite their best intentions. ‘What happens to those that fail or go bankrupt?’ he asks. They are probably not going to spend money to remove their satellites from space.’
D) In theory, given the vastness of space, satellite operators should have plenty of room for all these missions to fly safely without ever nearing another object. So some scientists are tackling the problem of space junk by trying to find out where all the debris is to a high degree of precision. That would alleviate the need for many of the unnecessary maneuvers that are carried out to avoid potential collisions. ‘If you knew precisely where everything was, you would seldom have a problem,’ says Marlon Sorge, a space-debris specialist at the Aerospace Corporation in El Segundo, California.
E) The field is called space traffic management because it’s similar to managing traffic on the roads or in the air. Think about a busy day at an airport, says Moriba Jah, an astrodynamicist at the University of Texas at Austin: planes line up in the sky, landing and taking off close to one another in a carefully choreographed routine.
Air-traffic controllers know the location of the planes down to one metre in accuracy. The same can’t be said for space debris. Not all objects in orbit are known, and even those included in databases are not tracked consistently.
F) An additional problem is that there is no authoritative catalogue that accurately lists the orbits of all known space debris. Jah illustrates this with a web-based database that he has developed. It draws on several sources, such as catalogues maintained by the US and Russian governments, to visualise where objects are in space. When he types in an identifier for a particular space object, the database draws a purple line to designate its orbit. Only this doesn’t quite work for several objects, such as a Russian rocket body designated in the database as object number 32280. When Jah enters that number, the database draws two purple lines: the US and Russian sources contain two completely different orbits for the same object. Jah says that it is almost impossible to tell which is correct unless a third source of information made it possible to cross-correlate.
Jah describes himself as a space environmentalist: ‘I want to make space a place that is safe to operate, that is free and useful for generations to come.’ Until that happens, he argues, the space community will continue devolving into a tragedy in which all spaceflight operators are polluting a common resource.

In an “electrodynamic tether drag” system, such as the Terminator Tether, the tether can be used to reduce the orbit of the spacecraft to which it is attached. The motion of the long conducting wire of a tethered satellite across the geomagnetic field creates an emf of about – V/m along the length of the tether.

The TSS-1 first flew on STS inbut a mechanical problem allowed the satellite to be deployed only to height of feet. Email Required, but never shown. Once the electrons are thermionically emitted from the TC surface they require tethre acceleration potential to cross a gap, or in this case, the plasma sheath. With solar panels, you can now theoretically generate low levels of thrust indefinitely in low earth orbit and zero propellant.
The curves that become horizontal are temperature limited cases. The crew will control the ellectrodynamic and deployer system from the aft flight deck. How would this actually work for that purpose?
This sphere has an aluminum alloy skin that is electrically conductive, three instrument sensor booms, a payload module for the science instruments and a service module that contains telemetry, power distribution, data handling and navigational equipment. The KVL voltage loop is then closed in the ionosphere where the potential difference is effectively zero.
So why aren’t EDTs in widespread use? The major advantage of this technique compared to other space propulsion systems is that it doesn’t teher any propellant. In this regard, see also dlectrodynamic generator.
However, numerical simulation has been recently developed by Choiniere et al. At the end of a satellite’s life electrpdynamic a rocket stage, or anything elseit is given a signal to release a long wire antenna.
This results in a unique phenomenon whereby the orbiting body ‘rams’ through the surrounding ions in the plasma creating a beam like effect in the reference frame of the orbiting body.
Electrodynamic Tethers: Getting into the Swing
For Jupiter, however, there may be an alternative. For a variety of practical reasons, current collection to a bare EDT does electrodunamic always satisfy the assumption of OML collection theory. Two commonly proposed geometries teyher an EDT involve the use of electrodynamoc cylindrical wire and a flat tape.
This means that the orbiting body is traveling faster than the ions and slower than the electrons, or at a mesosonic speed. Findings of the board, included in a page document, identified primary causes which accounted for the tether break during deployment of the Tethered Satellite.
Faraday’s law of induction. In a non-flowing quasi-neutral plasma with no magnetic field, it can be assumed that a spherical conducting object will collect equally in all directions.
Excerpt The tether was designed to carry up to 15, volts DC and handle tensile forces of up to pounds newtons.
TUI: Engineering the Future
The major advantage of this technique compared to other space propulsion systems is that it doesn’t electrodnyamic any propellant. Fortunately, the Earth’s magnetosphere is not “empty”, and, in near-Earth regions especially near the Earth’s atmosphere there exist highly electrically conductive plasmas which are kept partially ionized by solar radiation or other radiant energy.
Note that the velocity used in this equation is the orbital velocity of the tether.
It has the potential to make space travel significantly cheaper. This super- strong and thin strand, also contains a tin coated, insulated copper wire bundle that makes it electrically conductive. This is, however, an extreme oversimplification of the concept.
Electrodynamic Tethers: Getting into the Swing
Here, the ProSEDS de-boost tether system is configured to enable electron collection to the positively biased higher altitude section of eldctrodynamic bare tether, and returned to the ionosphere at the lower altitude end. There are a number of derivations that solve for the potentials and currents involved in an EDT system numerically. If the direction of the current is opposite to the direction it would flow in case tteher an electrodynamic drag tether, the resulting Lorentz force will also work in the other direction and thus push the spacecraft rather than slow it down.
As electrodynzmic result of this process, an electrodynamic force acts on the tether and attached object, slowing their orbital motion. By using the space environment to create thrust, electrodynamic tether systems can dramatically reduce the cost of many space missions by eliminating the need to launch large quantities of propellant into orbit. These effects pertain to all conducting surfaces on an EDT system, not just the end-body.
Critters and their Implications. As the current flows through the tether, heat is generated because of the electrical resistance of the conductive tether material so-called ohmic heating. Current in a wire cutting through a magnetic electrrodynamic induces a force.

However, postflight inspection of the tether end which remained aboard Columbia showed it to be charred. It can be seen in the below chart what a typical I-V curve looks like for a hollow cathode in electron emission mode. The analysis in this study offers a potential solution eletcrodynamic the power and thrust requirements for future ESA missions to the Jovian system.
These investigations will help us understand things such as the behavior of comet tails and the radio “noise” emitted by Jupiter.
The electron Debye length is defined as the characteristic shielding distance in a plasma, and is described by the equation.
An EDT can use these principles in two ways: Once released, the satellite will climb upward from the orbiter and away from Earth, aided by gravitational force and the use of its onboard thrusters, to attain electrosynamic distance of The boost mode is similar to the de-orbit mode, except for the fact that a High Voltage Power Supply HVPS is also inserted in series with the tether system between the tether and the higher positive potential end.
It used super-strong strands of Kevlar as a strength-providing tegher, wound around the copper and insulation. In other words, a full-up deorbit system would need lots of things some electrldynamic of control, approach, and capture of debris included. What I understand from the slectrodynamic is that it will have a 20 kg weight at the end of a m tether. This classical electrodynamjc space charge limit SCL is derived for charged particles of zero initial energy, and is termed the Child-Langmuir Law.
By adding a battery or solar panel to the EDT circuit, the induced current is overcome, reversing the current direction; the force experienced by the tether is now in the same direction as the EDT’s motion.
The OML regime occurs when the sheath becomes sufficiently thick such that orbital effects become important in particle collection. | aerospace |

Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy Rodgers (R-WA) delivered opening remarks at today’s Communication and Technology subcommittee hearing titled “Launching Into the State of the Satellite Marketplace.”
Excerpts and highlights below:
“I would like to congratulate you, Bob Latta, on leading the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology this Congress and to Buddy Carter for becoming the Vice Chair.
“Congratulations to you, Ranking Member Matsui, on your new role too.
“Under your leadership, I know this subcommittee will lead to help close the digital divide and ensure America leads a new era of innovation and entrepreneurship.
“Finally, welcome to all our new members joining the Communications and Technology Subcommittee.
“I’m looking forward to all the great work we will do together.”
“We’re here today to discuss how America can keep pace with the rapidly evolving satellite communications industry.
“Countries like China seek to undermine us in a range of advanced communications technologies, including next-gen satellite technology.
“We can’t afford to let this happen.
“The Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to embed their authoritarianism into next generation technologies like these.
“This is a country that spies on its citizens and asserts strict government control over businesses and the economy.
“They want to replace the U.S. as the economic and technological power so they can spread their values and vision of the future.
“We need to make sure these technologies are developed in an ecosystem that promotes America’s values, not China’s.
“As this technology evolves, we must reevaluate and adapt the regulatory environment to make sure America is winning the future, beating China, and continue to push the limits of innovation to solidify American dominance.
“Satellite technologies have become vital to the communications marketplace, providing services to connect millions of American homes and businesses.
“To ensure the U.S. leadership, we need to foster a regulatory environment that encourages innovation and guarantees that the reliable services they provide remain available to combat bad actors seeking to undermine our national interests.”
SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS MARKETPLACE
“This Subcommittee is at the forefront of protecting and enhancing technological innovation in the U.S.
“We’re responsible for overseeing the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and National Telecommunications and Information Administration.
“In recent years, the satellite marketplace has seen a surge of investment because of a combination of lower launch costs to innovations that have made satellites more affordable, reliable, and available.
“Some estimates show the space industry could triple to a $1.4 trillion market within a decade.
“The FCC has received dozens of applications for new NGSO satellite systems, indicating that the industry is ready to lead in this space.
“American satellite operators are providing in-home broadband at faster speeds than ever before as well as key voice and data services to these industries and the Federal government.
“Both longstanding operators and newer entrants have made or announced significant investments in next-generation systems.
“It’s been far too long since Congress reassessed the role of satellite technology in the communications marketplace and whether or not our regulatory environment encourages investment and innovation in the space economy, or hampers it.
“Today’s hearing is our first step in what will be a robust effort to evaluate the state of the satellite marketplace.”
LEADING A NEW ERA OF AMERICAN INNOVATION
“Many existing and proposed satellite systems raise novel questions about the use of space and spectrum that the FCC’s rules do not address.
“For example, large non-geostationary orbit, or NGSO, satellite systems use spectrum more intensely than other types of satellite systems.
“These NGSO systems are required to share spectrum, and the rules that govern sharing will be a critical ingredient to their success.
“Moreover, the satellite marketplace is global.
“Operators from around the world need to be able to license in many different regions, including the U.S.
“Because of the global nature of the satellite industry, we need to consider international considerations on the use of spectrum as well as orbital resources that are unique to the industry.
“We must lead in this industry, and we must ensure that our regulations encourage this innovation, rather than stifle it.
“I look forward to hearing more from our witnesses about the industry and how this Committee can be a partner to promote U.S. leadership, competition, and innovation in satellite communications.” | aerospace |

Depending on how many people are on board, you might spend hours being questioned by security personnel and encounter bomb and drug-sniffing dogs. Derek Schwalenberg on Feb 08, 2012 . Saturday’s stop-over was the first time since 1994 that U.S. military aircraft had used the Miyako airport. For the most part, you shouldn’t expect an unapproved landing at a military base to go over well. This isn’t a free-for-all and military bases should always be your last resort. Up for five days, a four Russian MiG-31 supersonic interceptor aircraft cannot fly away from the civilian airport in Usinsk, Komi. Civilian aircraft, landing at military fields....permission. These agreements allow military bases to host their own “civilian air terminals” with the assistance of an airport. Security measures at military bases are rather intense. Like above the clouds? Tánaiste says military aircraft landing at Irish airports governed by strict condtions Mick Wallace claims Government policy inconsistent Fri, Dec 5, 2014, 01:05 - - Military Aircraft Based at Civilian Airports. Private aircraft are personal planes used for pleasure flying, often single-engine monoplanes with nonretractable landing gear. The FAA has revised its policy regarding the certification of airports with civilian and military operations under the revised Regulation. This usually doesn’t go over well and there’s a pretty good chance that your reasoning will be rejected. But can they go higher? Even airports with no permanent military presence may see occasional military traffic. There have been several cases in recent years where large passenger planes have accidentally landed at military bases instead of civilian airports. Even airports with no permanent military presence may see occasional military traffic. Basically, it has to be something that makes continuing the flight extremely dangerous to those on board, on the ground, or passengers of other nearby planes. However, you do have to be a current member of the military with a valid military ID card. Yet, aircraft are even more of a threat. There’s a lot of paperwork that you’ll need to fill out and you need to be approved. Westover AFB, next door only allows full-stop landings. Because they’re government-owned and run, they have expansive security measures in place for safety. At a joint use airport similar to ones listed above where there is a civilian side to the field, Charleston, SC, Elizabeth City,NC, you may be able to do touch and go’s based on the local operating procedures. If you don’t fly an RV, don’t embarrass yourself by attempting one. I used to love landing at Turin to go skiing and seeing the F104s over at their dispersal. When an unknown plane suddenly touches down on a military base, commanders on the base are on high alert. Yes, for over 10 years. There’s a better chance of landing at a military base if there’s a problem with your plane and you need an emergency landing. Even then, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be allowed access. However, it must be a genuine emergency. These include private and business planes and commercial airliners. There’s a joint-use agreement between the base and a local airport, though you do need to fill out the necessary paperwork and pay the landing fees. What is the reason fighter aircraft, even a flight consisting of a single jet, make a landing approach by executing a low pass down the runway, followed by the 180 degree break, and then coming back around on final approach? Submitting the application in a timely manner is the most important thing you can do. Initially, FAA stated on this web site that if a civilian authority is only responsible for the terminal building and the landside and the U.S. Government controls the airfield, then no Part 139 Airport Operating Certificate is needed. I am aware we fight a war to win at all costs, so I guess it doesn't really matter does it? Most of the time when you see a helicopter flying overhead, they are usually not that high up in the sky. Landing at a US military base isn't all that hard (I've landed at Ft. You’ll go through the normal prior permission process. Keep in mind there might not be fuel services available to u from a flight planning perspective. Many reserve morning hours for military flight training. Performing an emergency landing at a military base is less than ideal, but it’s an option if you have none others left. On Sept. 16, the Heron became the first UAV to land at an international airport alongside civilian aircraft. The UAV took off from an airfield in Ein Shemer, landed at Ben Gurion International Airport, … The 2402 is a Hold Harmless, done once initially. Airplane - Airplane - Civil aircraft: All nonmilitary planes are civil aircraft. "A E-3 Sentry airborne warning and control system aircraft from the 522nd Air Control Wing at Tinker Air Force Base made an emergency landing at Lincoln Municipal Airport in Nebraska. You can do touch and go’s at KBAF Barne’s AFB all day long. (The organization handled the PPR requirement.). The U.S. military has very strict regulations when it comes to airspace and using its airfields for anything other than military purposes. If you are wondering, can... Highskyflying is a site dedicated to bringing you relevant and exact answers to all kinds of aviation-related questions! Yes, in some cases! But, don’t just expect to be able to land at one of these bases however you please. A Saudia Airlines Boeing 747 jet landed in the Tambaram Airforce Base mistaking it for the nearby Chennai International Airport in 1997. For example, Portland International in Oregon has the Portland Air National Guard Base, and Charleston International is shared with Joint Base Charleston. Agreed a full military airport you will need a PPR from base ops/airfield management. The FAA works with military departments when a civil airport sponsor wants to arrange civilian access to a military airfield, known as "joint-use". Generally, yes. In most cases, you need to notify the base prior to the landing to notify them of your upcoming arrival. It's less likely for them to stay very long, as there could be special security and ground support requirements, especially with fighter jets. This is no longer the case. New Delhi: Military aircraft can now use the Cochin International Airport for take-off and landing in accordance with an MoU that was signed with the Indian Navy, defence officials said on Tuesday. The plane landing shows that the airport can receive military and civilian equipment and aid in the case of emergencies. Let them know that you need to land immediately and where you plan to land. Say I had a relative that's in the military and is fighting overseas. I did that with a CAP airplane once, for an airshow at Moffett Field (NUQ). | aerospace |

The Imperial War Museum Duxford has been using a Niton handheld X-Ray fluorescence analyser while restoring an iconic V-bomber which saw service at the height of the cold war. Aerospace Manufacturing finds out more.
While we may recoil from the horror inflicted by air force bombers, we can also celebrate the technological achievement and defence of democracy that they represent.
The Handley Page Victor bomber was one of the RAF’s celebrated V-Bomber fleet, which also included the Valiant and Vulcan, introduced in the 1950s as part of the United Kingdom’s strategic nuclear arsenal to counter the threat at that time from the USSR.
The bomber had a top speed of more than 600mph and a range of 6,000 miles, powered by four Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire turbojet engines and later Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans.
After their nuclear deterrent days were over many Victor bombers were converted to long range aerial refuelling tankers, finally being retired from military service in 1993.
The Imperial War Museum Duxford has had a Handley Page Victor bomber (XH648) in its collection for many years. The aircraft flew its first sortie in 1959 and in 1960 – with upgraded countermeasure electronics, radar and engines – it was dispatched on active service to No 15 squadron in the Far East. It saw action during proxy war incursions in Indonesia in 1962-63. Two years later the XH648 bomber returned to RAF Honington where refuelling pods were fitted under each wing, and it spent the next ten years serving as a fuel tanker, finally being sent to Imperial War Museum Duxford in 1976.
Curators at the museum are now restoring this historic aircraft to help future generations learn about the technology, politics, horror and excitement of air warfare in the mid-20th century. Last year the museum bought a Niton XL3t 955 handheld XRF analyser to screen artefacts, parts and materials for hazardous elements such as lead in paint and solder and arsenic in preservatives.
The curators and other museum employees, not to mention visitors, must be protected from these hazardous materials. However, during a restoration project involving the Victor XH648, the Niton analyser has also been used to identify the alloys from which the aircraft was built. If restorers pick the same or a similar alloy to repair a corroded part they can avoid causing more damage. Additionally, knowing precisely which material was used to build an aircraft component not only ensures the safety of curators and visitors, but also helps museum staff determine the provenance and improve how well they can tell the story of the aircraft.
Following the movement of the Victor into the Conservation in Action hangar at Duxford, detailed conservation work commenced on the aircraft. The bomb bay doors revealed some corrosion as did the elevator skins and drag chute doors which were all cleaned and treated for corrosion.
The project also involved removing the rudder and horizontal stabiliser and the outer wing leading edge sections which were dismantled in order to treat the badly corroded magnesium ribs. These were then treated and reassembled with some fabrication of new parts. Additionally, the aileron fixed trim tab was remanufactured due to extensive corrosion of the magnesium skin and new trim tab fittings were manufactured due to extensive corrosion. Conservation has continued on the outer wing leading edge sections and the ailerons.
Analyse and detect
Today’s aerospace manufacturers have similar material detection and safety concerns. As more varied advanced metals, non-metals and composites are used in modern aircraft handheld analysers can verify materials accurately, rapidly, avoid mistakes and prevent product failure.
Each year around 500 aircraft around the world are scrapped and disassembled. To be able to reuse and recycle some of these parts and materials, the alloys must be identified precisely. Handheld analysers are ideal to help aircraft breakers recycle at end of life. Some parts and materials may even end up being used in a restoration project at the Duxford museum.
Furthermore, as employers are required to protect their workforce from exposure to hazardous substances, handheld analysers can help companies comply with tighter health and safety regulations.
In effect a handheld instrument allows the user to take the laboratory to the work area whether it be on the shopfloor, in the hangar or out on the airfield. For example, the Niton XL3T 955 detects titanium down to 10 parts per million (ppm) and magnesium down to 750ppm. This high accuracy and precision is due to its large area silicon drift detector.
All Niton UK analysers use spectroscopy to identify the elements which make up materials. X-Rays or laser light is aimed at the material, whose atoms emit a characteristic spectral fingerprint.
In the UK, Niton UK is a leader in handheld X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) instruments for manufacturing, recycling, identifying ores and verifying precious metals. Since 1999 the company has represented and serviced Thermo Scientific Niton XRF analysers and TSI PolyMax and ChemLite Laser analysers. There are now nearly 3,000 Niton XRF, Raman and LIBS instruments verifying materials and detecting contaminants in the field.
The Niton and ChemLite instruments analyse metals and alloys, while the PolyMax analyses plastics. Niton UK is the only ISO registered company supplying such products in the UK. Collectively, the staff at the company has more than 200 years of experience in metallurgy and materials analysis. It has a large client base throughout the UK and Ireland with instruments testing alloys and polymers in the aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, medical, mining and recycling industries.
Since 9/11 and the increase in levels of security threats worldwide, the demand for accurate handheld materials analysis in the field has increased dramatically. This has led to huge leaps forward in the technology and capability of handheld in situ spectroscopy.
A spin-off from detecting hazardous chemical threats is the use of handheld analysers for positive materials identification (PMI) to verify specialist alloys in aircraft parts. As aerospace engineering advanced rapidly throughout the 20th century, a wide range of stronger, lighter alloys were developed for building aircraft. In historic aircraft such as the Victor bomber these materials must be identified accurately so that corroded bomb bay doors can be fixed and magnesium wing ribs replaced, for example.
Many industries and research disciplines find fast, accurate, handheld spectroscopy essential to their activities. Niton analysers are also used by engineers to maintain pipework on oil rigs, build aircraft, prospect for ores, by jewellers to verify un-hallmarked gold and by scrap dealers to recycle alloys. They are also used to date works of art and identify alloys in racing car chassis.
In the case of the Victor bomber and its kind, these aircraft are firmly embedded in our culture and history. Niton instruments are helping to maintain and contribute to that story for future generations.

A runway, the heart of every airport, plays an indispensable role in facilitating the smooth landing and takeoff of aircraft. This detailed discourse will offer an exhaustive analysis of runway operations.
Understanding Runways: A Preliminary Perspective
Varied widely from paved runways, gravel runways, to water runways, the design and maintenance of runways are largely influenced by a multitude of factors, which range from geographic conditions, runway orientation, to federal regulations.
Design Elements and Construction of Runways
Starting with design elements, runways are meticulously engineered. A major consideration is the runway orientation, determined after evaluating the wind patterns to maximize aircraft performance during takeoff and landing.
Runway Surface Types and Their Maintenance
From asphalt runways, concrete runways, gravel, and even ice runways, the surface of a runway is a matter of huge significance. These require different maintenance since the durability varies based on the climatic conditions and material uses.
Runway Dimensions: An Accurate Overview
Beyond design considerations, the dimensions of runways need explicit consideration. Its length, width, and thickness are meticulously calculated based on the nature of the aircraft and other pertaining variables.
Runway Markings: An Important Guide for Pilots
The importance of runway markings must not be underestimated. The runway centerline, threshold markings, touchdown zone, runway designation, and runway side stripes guide pilots during taxiing, takeoff, landing, and in some cases, even parking.
Complexity of Runway Lighting: Illuminating Runways to Enrich Flight Safety
Runway illuminations also play an indispensable role in aiding seamless operations. Runway edge lights, threshold lights, runway end identifier lights, and taxiway lights each have a specific function, providing necessary visual guidance to pilots during nighttime or non-visible weather conditions.
Classification and Numbering of Runways
An important aspect of runway operations considers the classification and numbering system for runways. It follows a custom protocol designed for the precise identification and utilization of runways.
Runway Safety: From Runway Incursion to Runway Excursion
Runway safety is of paramount importance. Incidents involving runway incursion and runway excursion are thoroughly investigated to improve the safety measures, vital for minimizing risks and enhancing flight safety.
Understanding Runway Use in Varying Weather Conditions
Airports must adjust runway use strategies based on changing weather conditions. This can influence the runway of use for takeoff and landing, an aspect regularly managed by Airport Traffic Control.
Nonconventional Runways: Grass, Water, and Ice
Covering the topic of runways would be incomplete without addressing nonconventional varieties such as grass, water and ice runways. These highlight how runways adapt and diversify, ensuring flight operations even in the most challenging environments.
The Future of Runways: Technological Impacts and Sustainability Challenges
Lastly, any discussion about runways would be incomplete without pondering over the future of runways. The incorporation of cutting-edge technologies and the challenges posed by the growing demand for environmentally sustainable practices present a fascinating outlook.
In conclusion, from their meticulous design, construction, maintenance, dimensions, markings, and lighting to safety measures, runway operations are a rich sphere of study that directly influences global aviation. The influence of weather conditions, sustainability efforts, and future concepts construct further layers of complexity, ensuring that runways continue to be an exciting aspect of aviation.

President Muhammadu Buhari says he is “pained” by Sunday’s crash of a Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet in Zamfara State, but “relieved” by the news of the rescue of the gallant pilot, Flt. Lt. Abayomi Dairo, who survived an air crash.
Dairo had reportedly successfully ejected himself from the fighter aircraft that came under intense ground fire from bandits and escaped the firing of his attackers firing before running into safety and was rescued.
Reacting to the news, the president’s spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday, said President Buhari said he was pained by news of the air crash but relieved by the pilot’s gallantry and rescue.
According to the presidential spokesman, the president was briefed on the successful operation to rescue the pilot by the nation’s defence forces.
Shehu quoted the president as saying: “I was shocked by the devastating news of the air crash but felt much relieved, following the successful ejection by the pilot and his eventual rescue.
“May the injured pilot recover at the earliest time.’’
NAF had in a statement on Monday by its spokesman, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said the aircraft was returning from a successful air interdiction mission between the boundaries of Zamfara and Kaduna State, but came under intense enemy fire which led to its crash in Zamfara State.
“Luckily, the gallant pilot of the aircraft, Flight Lieutenant Abayomi Dairo, successfully ejected from the aircraft. Using his survival instincts, the pilot, who came under intense ground fire from the bandits, was able to evade them and sought refuge in nearby settlements awaiting sunset.
“Using the cover of darkness and his phone set for navigation, Flight Lieutenant Dairo was able to elude several bandits’ strongholds and maneuvered his way to a Nigerian Army Unit, where he was finally rescued,” the statement said. | aerospace |

But all we hear about mars. Why? The scientists are interested in Mars more than anything else in this universe.
Mars is the 4th planet and 2nd smallest planet in the solar system. It was named after the Roman god of war. Due to the iron oxide prevalent the planet has a reddish appearance. Which is distinctive among other astronomical objects and easy to spot. Mars has the largest known volcano in the solar system.
Because the rotational period as well as the tilt of the rotational axis relative to the ecliptic plane are similar to earth’s, the days and seasons are comparable to those of Earth. The tilt of the earth’s rotational axis is 23.5 degrees while the Mar’s is 25 degrees. And the mars rotational period is 1day and 37 minutes while earth’s 1 day. Now you know the similarities between earth and mars.
The scientists are interested in the possibility of life on the Mars. even though no proof of life is discovered yet. These speculations led to the mars missions. Mars-1 was the first mars mission launched in 1962. But it was not successful as the communication was lost on the way. Mars-2 and Mars-3 had found the information on Mars’s surface such as surface density of the soil, its thermal conductivity, and thermal anomalies detected on the surface.
The Viking missions in the mid-seventies carried out the first chemical analysis of Martian soil, as well as four biology experiments to detect biological activity. The experiments did not yield any conclusive evidence of life.
In the early 1980s, scientists hypothesized, based on mineralogical composition and rock texture of the surface, that certain meteorites might have a source region in Mars, in contrast to the asteroid belt. In 1984, a study showed that the isotopic composition of rare gases (Xenon, Krypton, Neon and Argon) matched the isotopic ratios of the Martian atmosphere measured by the Viking spacecraft. This discovery provided a way for geo-chemists to study Martian samples which provided a huge boost to our understanding of the geo-chemical evolution of Mars.
Until the 20th century Mars was considered a dry planet. But in 2001 when the Gamma Ray Spectrometer on board the Mars Odyssey spacecraft detected a fascinating hydrogen signature that seemed to indicate the presence of water ice. To test for the presence of water, NASA sent a spacecraft to Mars to land near the South Pole in 2007. The spacecraft studied the soil around the lander with its robotic arm and was able to establish, without any doubt, the presence of water on Mars for the first time.
In 2011 the Curiosity Rover was launched to Mars with the goal of investigation of the Martian climate and geology, assessment of whether the selected field site inside Gale has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life (including investigation of the role of water), and planetary habitability studies in preparation for human exploration. The rover is still operational, and as of April 12, 2021, Curiosity has been active on Mars for 3171 total days; 8 years, 249 days since its landing.
The Curiosity rover carries an instrument called SAM (or Sample Analysis at Mars), which contains a suite of spectrometers with the goal of detecting organic compounds on Mars. SAM has a mass spectrometer that can measure not just the elements, but the isotopes as well. This instrument has discovered large chain organic compounds on Mars. Though how these compounds formed is still a mystery.
The newest Mars expedition machine is the Perseverance. It had landed on Mars February 18th 2021. The site where Perseverance is expected to land is the place where experts believe 3.5 billion years ago held a lake filled with water and flowing rivers. It is an ideal place to search for the residues of microbial life, test new technologies, and lay the groundwork for human exploration down the road
Why Mars is so fascinating to scientist?
With above reasons scientists believe that the life could have evolved on Mars. It can be reached in 6 ½ months. Which makes Mars is the only planet that humans can visit or inhabit in the long term. The surface temperature is -630c. But it is better than the 4000c which is the surface temperature of Venus. And the planets in the outer solar system are made of gas. Which makes quite hard to land on those, let alone habitation. | aerospace |

Here are just a few examples of them on-screen. For more Action click here.
A great example of a cargo and military airplane supplied by Aviaction for ground work on location, where it was transformed externally and internally by the Art Department for the upcoming production of 7 Days In Entebbe (2018)
Bell UH-1H nicknamed ‘Huey’ is recognised for its service during the Vietnam War and is one of our favourites for an action sequence. With night flying on set at low level, our Huey helicopter was supplied for the sequel of Jurassic World. The Huey truly is our action hero. Jurassic World – Fallen Kingdom (2018).
A multi-purpose utility helicopter of the Huey family. An ideal solution for action sequences. Aviaction sourced a search & rescue version for location work. An additional Huey airframe was sourced by Aviaction for corresponding studio work for American Assassin (2017).
Favoured for its military style, our Antonov 12 is an affordable and adaptable alternative to the Hercules C-130 and well suited for both action and utility sequences. Aviaction supplied the Antonov which was dressed to look like a US Airforce Hercules for Red 2 (2013). We also provided the Antonov dressed as a cargo transporter for Breathe (2017).
A multi-purpose helicopter capable of performing acrobatic manoevers. Aviaction supplied numerous Bolkow airframes for special effects and studio work for Spectre (2015).
A multi-purpose transporter. Aviaction supplied a number of Dauphin airframes for special effects and studio work for Spectre (2015) for conversion into an executive helicopter.
A medium sized passenger airplane which Aviaction supplied as a charter for aerial work in the Austrian sequence of Spectre (2015).
An executive jet sourced by Aviaction for charter for ground work on location for You, Me and the Apocalypse (2015).
We are also grateful for the sterling contribution of others who behind the scenes assist us in delivering some of the services we provide. | aerospace |

Hundreds of them remain stranded at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport--due to mechanical issues with their flights.
Broward Sheriff's Deputies are there trying to calm things down.
Miramar-based Spirit spokeswoman Misty Pinson issued this statement this morning:
“Following the engine failure on one of our aircraft last week, and after reviewing routine maintenance procedures, we are completing a proactive and voluntary check on our aircraft engines overnight as a precautionary measure. These checks take approximately 45 minutes per aircraft. Some flights are experiencing significant delays as we complete the checks. Each aircraft is being returned to service as soon as the check is completed. We apologize for these delays. We are working diligently to get our customers where they need to go as quickly as possible. We expect all checks to be completed this morning. As always, the safety of our customers is our number one priority.” | aerospace |

It has a central 'landside' terminal with people movers connecting passengers to satellite 'airside' gates, which was a pioneering and celebrated design when it was introduced in the 60s. The airport handles around 20 million passengers a year, with international services including flights to Canada, Mexico, the UK and countries in the Caribbean.
Interestingly, Tampa Bay is the birthplace of commercial air service- Pioneer aviator Tony Jannus flew the first scheduled commercial flight on January 1st 1914 from St Petersburg, Florida to Tampa in a flying boat. First opened in 1928 as Drew Field, the airport was used by the Air Force during World War2, and expanded and modernised during this time. After the war domestic and then international flights began, and the airport was renamed Tampa International Airport.
The Terminal used now was built in 1971. There are now 4 active airsides, each different to accomodate the needs of their occupying airlines, and 62 gates. There are plans to build a second 'North Terminal' in the near future.
Here are some of the major Airlines that service Tampa International Airport:
