Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft have been garnering significant attention in recent years. With the ability to take off and land vertically like a helicopter but with the added benefits of being electrically powered, eVTOLs represent a major shift in the aviation industry. These aircraft have the potential to provide safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly transportation options, particularly in urban areas where congestion and pollution are major concerns.
One company that has been making waves in the eVTOL industry is BLADE. Founded in 2014 by Rob Wiesenthal, BLADE is a New York-based aviation company that has developed a unique air mobility platform for urban travel. Their eVTOL aircraft, known as the BLADE Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle, is designed to provide a fast and efficient mode of transportation for short-distance trips within urban areas.
The BLADE UAM vehicle is a five-seat aircraft that uses a combination of electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems. It features a tilting wing design that allows for vertical takeoff and landing as well as horizontal flight. This design provides the benefits of both a helicopter and an airplane, allowing the aircraft to take off and land in tight spaces while also being able to fly efficiently over longer distances.
One of the key advantages of the BLADE UAM vehicle is its ability to operate quietly and with minimal environmental impact. The electric and hybrid-electric propulsion systems are much quieter than traditional combustion engines, making the aircraft suitable for operation in urban areas without disturbing residents. Additionally, the use of electric power reduces emissions, making the BLADE UAM vehicle a more environmentally friendly transportation option.
Another advantage of the BLADE UAM vehicle is its potential to reduce travel time and improve mobility in urban areas. With the ability to take off and land vertically, the aircraft can avoid the congestion and delays associated with traditional ground transportation. This could be particularly useful for business travelers or those with time-sensitive appointments who need to travel quickly and efficiently.
In addition to its eVTOL aircraft, BLADE has also developed a unique air mobility platform that allows users to book flights on-demand using a mobile app. The platform, known as the BLADEone, provides access to a network of private jet and helicopter operators, enabling users to quickly and easily book a flight to their desired destination. This platform has proven popular with high-end customers, and BLADE has plans to expand its services to a wider range of customers in the future.
In conclusion, eVTOL aircraft represent a major shift in the aviation industry, with the potential to provide safer, more efficient, and more environmentally friendly transportation options. BLADE is one company that has been at the forefront of this industry, developing a unique air mobility platform and eVTOL aircraft that could transform the way we travel in urban areas. With its quiet operation, efficient design, and on-demand booking platform, the BLADE UAM vehicle is poised to become a major player in the eVTOL industry in the years to come. | aerospace |

Barrett, an air traffic control supervisor and licensed pilot, is president of Stars of the North, the Minnesota chapter of Women in Aviation International. She is also an organizer of the chapter’s third-annual Girls in Aviation Day, which attracted 2,000 attendees to Flying Cloud Airport in Eden Prairie in late September. Girls and their families got inside airplanes, learned scientific principles relating to flight and discovered aviation is more than piloting a plane.
“When we were kids, we could go to an airport and watch airplanes,” Barrett says. Kids today can’t do that and may not be aware of all that goes on. “You don’t know different opportunities are available until you’re exposed to them,” she adds. “And it (the event) exposes them to a lot of different aspects of aviation and aerospace and what’s available.”
Additionally, Girls in Aviation Day gets girls to “take down their own barriers they’ve put on themselves because they’ve been told by society or somebody that they can’t. And they can,” she adds (for example, you’re not too short to fly).
Even finances can be overcome; Stars of the North connects girls with scholarship opportunities for further learning and training.
Nilly Rahimi is one such beneficiary. The St. Paul teen had a scholarship to attend a 2016 National Flight Academy camp in Pensacola, Fla., but couldn’t pay the travel costs. Barrett tapped the aviation community and quickly raised the money.
Rahimi is now a first year student at Lake Superior College in Duluth with plans to become a commercial airline pilot. She’ll join a relatively small group – women make up only 6.7 percent of U.S. pilots. That’s why she’s a fan of the Girls in Aviation Day.
“It’s such a male-dominated industry, and I know there are girls who love anything that involves aviation – from flying to dispatch or dealing with aircraft maintenance,” Rahimi says. “I just think it’s great that we are able to share STEM programs with the next generation.”
Seeing all the girls smiling in the cockpit and having fun with hands-on science activities and asking questions of women in the field inspires Barrett, too. The 2017 event was the “biggest and baddest” Girls in Aviation Day in the world, and it can only go up from there. As Barrett says, “You just have to believe in yourself.”
BE A CHANGEMAKER:

But be warned: What they’re telling us now is just the beginning.
The hummingbird came to rest outside my living-room window. As it stared in at me, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was under surveillance by robot drones from the National Security Agency (NSA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) or Cornell University.
Forget the armed unmanned drones that look like large model airplanes currently flying over the battlefields of Afghanistan and shooting out death rays. Forget R2-D2 and C-3PO from Star Wars. You can recognize those robots for what they are. Now, thanks to a shocking new technology combining biology, electronics and mechanics, private research companies and universities—working in conjunction with the federal government—have created a new generation of spy drones that look, fly, turn and hover like birds and winged insects. They are, in fact, indistinguishable from the real thing.
“They [scientists] have made so many advances, the technology is moving along so fast, it’s hard to keep up with reality,” says Jim DeFelice, the techno-thriller coauthor of the Dreamland series that features drones used in various capacities. “Only since the war in Iraq has the potential of UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles aka drones] reached the general consciousness.”
The public information available about this new generation of unmanned aircraft—also referred to as nanodrones or microdrones—indicates that hummingbirds are the preferred kind of avian spybot. AeroVironment, a California-based research-and-development company, has pioneered a Nano Hummingbird drone with a top speed of 11 miles per hour. Looking exactly like the real thing, it mimics the way hummingbirds fly and is equipped with an onboard camera that allows the controller to see exactly what the “bird” sees and to respond accordingly. | aerospace |

English language test service providers all around the world can apply for and receive an endorsement for tests that rate proficiency in English used in aviation according to ICAO requirements.
ICAO has done this in response to past fatal aviation accidents in which the lack of proficiency in English was identified as a contributing factor.
Specifically, ICAO wants to ensure that pilots and air traffic personnel are proficient in conducting and comprehending radiotelephony communications in the English language, including requirements that the English language shall be available on request at all stations on the ground serving designated airports and routes used by international air services.
ICAO developed the endorsement service in partnership with other recognized international professional aviation associations including the International Federation of Air Line Pilots’ Associations (“IFALPA”), the International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers’ Associations (“IFATCA”), the International Language Testing Association (“ILTA”), and the International Civil Aviation English Association (“ICAEA”).
If English is important enough to be the official language of the friendly skies all over the world, then isn’t English important enough to be the official language of the United States? | aerospace |

The Atmosphere affects all measurement techniques of space geodesy. On the one hand atmospheric effects such as refraction or signal delay are a major source of errors that needs to be reduced. Thus the optimization of respective corrections and models means an important research challenge. On the other hand the observation data of various geodetic measurement techniques that are influenced by the atmosphere in different ways provide valuable information on state and dynamics of the atmosphere. These are of great interest for other disciplines, such as meteorology or navigation. In particular the DGFI-TUM has been building up strong experience in the modelling and prediction of global and regional physical structures of the Earth's ionosphere (4D electron content, space weather) from the joint analysis of space geodetic observations.
The precise knowledge of the Earth's gravity field is vital for various applications in geodesy, such as the realization and unification of height systems and the determination of highly precise satellite orbits. The latter are a prerequisite for the computation of accurate reference frames or reliable estimates of water heights from satellite altimetry. Furthermore the geoid provides the reference surface for ocean circulation. Temporal changes of the gravity field carry information about mass transports in the Earth system and are of great interest, for example, for the investigation of dynamic processes in the Earth's interior or within the hydrosphere. The DGFI-TUM primarily focuses on theoretical and practical aspects of regional gravity field determination. The goal is the creation of highly resolved and accurate potential fields for delimited areas through combination of various available data sets, e.g. satellite gravity field information, satellite altimetry, or terrestrial and airborne gravity data. The focus of the work is on the computation of high-resolution potential information in ocean areas, the unification of height systems, and the determination of the temporally and spatially variable difference between geoid and sea surface (Dynamic Ocean Topography) as basis for the derivation of geostrophic ocean currents.
A fundamental prerequisite for any meaningful combination of different data sets is the definition and application of common standards and conventions in order to assure highest consistency of parameters and products. In the frame of the Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) the DGFI-TUM manages the GGOS Bureau of Products and Standards (BPS) that is operated jointly with partners of the FGS. | aerospace |

It's not easy, mainly due to the fact that I don't have much space indoors so I can't really do much. Outdoors so far has been next to impossible, I live in Canada and right now it's not the coldest outside but it's windy as all hell. Here's a video of my last flight with the X300C, you might be able to see a violent movement every now and then. That's the wind throwing my little drone around. I record from the moment I start till the batteries run out, so each charge is getting me around 10 minutes. Sadly the video has been choppy for me. I've seen some people upload the videos they record and they seem much smoother than the videos I've been getting.
Outside of practicing controlling a drone, I wanted to give the drone a little more aggressive look than the one it came with. So I took the drone apart (taking pics every step so I can put it back together) then painted the body matte black and everything else gold. It lasted all of one flight till the paint started to chip but I'm ok with it. I also wanted to see what makes a drone seeing how my next steps are too build my own I thought it would be a good learning experience. I think I'm going to give it to till January before I order my first parts (I can't wait). My hope is when I build my own it will have a lot more control outdoors. | aerospace |

Aviation’s impact on climate change is significant; without mitigation, this impact is expected to grow as the industry recovers from the global pandemic. Climate change has a correspondingly large impact on aviation; changing weather patterns can affect aircraft performance, infrastructure, and operations. Over the coming decades, the decarbonization of the aviation sector will present numerous technological, policy, and environmental challenges, while extreme weather will create challenges and new requirements for aviation safety and growth.
On January 20, 2022, SJSU and its Mineta Transportation Institute will host a virtual forum on Aviation and Climate Change to discuss these issues. The forum will bring together Silicon Valley leaders in academia, government, and industry to showcase the regional capabilities available to address climate change and aviation challenges, and to encourage the public-private partnerships and collaborations needed to do so.
3.5 PDH credits will be available for attendees.

To find out what this orbit is, and to see some of Cassini’s best moments, we meet key members of the UK team of scientists for this edition of Space.
It is a sunny day in the Surrey Hills south of London as they head into the Mullard Space Science Laboratory. It is a mansion converted into a scientific center for researchers at University College London, offering a picturesque place to study the most colorful planet in the solar system.
MSSL planetary scientist director Geraint Jones explained that the Cassini crew turns the spacecraft into its final orbit to get the closest view possible to Saturn.
“Cassini has been orbiting the planet for many years, and Titan is used to change its orbit,” Euronews said. “And then, at the end of April, the orbit was changed again, passing near Titan.
“And now it’s very exciting: we move between the atmosphere and the ring system of Saturn, and we do it 22 times until the end of September, when the mission ends.”
Jones added: “When entering rings, we can measure the distribution of mass within the planet, and ultimately determine the amount of material in the ring system in orbit around the planet itself.”
One of the most important findings to date is that the gap of two thousand kilometers between icy rings and Saturn’s peaks is empty dust.
There is still a lot we do not know about Saturn, but Professor Michele Dougherty of Imperial College London told Euronews. It has a Cassini magnetometer and highlights some of the key points the team hopes to learn from this orbit.
“We do not understand what the inside is, we think there is a solid core, there is probably a liquid region above this core that generates the magnetic field,” Dougherty said.
“The other thing is – it’s rather embarrassing to admit that – but we were there for 13 years and still do not know how long Saturn is.”
Saturn is called a gas giant, a planet composed of 75 percent hydrogen, and is thought to last about 10 hours. But no one is really sure because of the difficulty of measuring their rotation.
The orbit of the Cassini spacecraft saw flying not only between Saturn’s rings, but also at its poles, providing a better view of the strange hexagonal feature at the top of the globe.
“One of the coolest images on Saturn is the view of the North Pole where you see this hexagonal structure that becomes the atmosphere,” Dougherty said.
“By being able to remotely see the atmosphere and see how the structure changes over time, it allows you to understand the dynamics of the atmosphere if the materials come from below.
“Some of the instruments are able to tell what types of molecules and materials to the atmosphere, and it’s almost like testing the atmosphere without having to enter it.”
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a joint effort between NASA, ESA and ASI for the Italian Space Agency.
Since its arrival in the Saturn system in 2004, the mission has achieved a wide range of discoveries, especially the dozens of moons of Saturn.
In January 2005, Cassini dropped the Huygens probe on Titan’s Saturn moon ESA, the most distant landing ever reached by a spacecraft, which revealed a dark world where rain falls sky pétrinaires.
ESA’s scientific mission Huygens, Jean-Pierre Lebreton, told Euronews that Titan had similarities with our planet, but otherwise, it is very different.
“The temperature on Titan’s surface is about minus 180 degrees, so it’s very cold,” he said.
“Landscapes of Titan very similar to what we have on Earth – we have rivers, lakes that we have, we have the sea, oceans almost methane.
Lebreton added, “It rains, rains methane or a mixture of ethane and methane, there are many weather phenomena or geophysical processes on Titan that make you think about what is happening on Earth, but the ingredients are quite different. | aerospace |

However, NASA has found gold in radiation shielding is useful in protecting space travelers and even satellites from deadly rays. If you’re interested in learning more, watch this episode of U.S. Money Reserve’s “Did You Know?”
Gold in Radiation Shielding: Did You Know? – Video Transcription
Did you know that gold can be used to shield against radiation? NASA has been using the yellow metal in helmet visors since the 1960s. An ultra thin layer of gold is used to protect astronauts' eyes against infrared radiation. The gold coating in the outer visor allows visible light to pass through, but reflects harmful solar rays. Astronauts are prone to radiation in space. Unlike the earth, which is protected by the ozone layer, nothing is protecting them from the extreme environment. Many satellites appear to be covered in gold foil, but this is called multi-layer insulation or MLI. MLI is made out of highly reflective layers of insulation and is primarily used to reduce heat loss. However, gold is in fact used to guard satellite and spacecraft components from ultraviolet light, heat or impacts. Other uses in aerospace include circuitry, metal plating, and coatings. Gold's remarkable characteristics of malleability, reflectance, and high conductivity make it a vital resource in space exploration.

This allows you to fly an aircraft with one piston engine, weighing up to 2000kg, in reasonable weather, in daytime and to use the aircraft radio to communicate with ATC.To obtain this licence you must complete a minimum of 32 hours flying training – plus 2 skill tests, 10 hours of this must be solo and of that, 5 hours must be navigation.If you have an NPPL and wish to fly EASA aircraft after that date, you will need to apply for an EASA LAPL.The EASA LAPL is a European licence which is recognised by all EASA countries.
This allows you to fly an aircraft with one piston engine, maximum weight 2000 kg, carrying up to 3 passengers, in reasonable weather, in daytime and to use the aircraft radio to communicate with ATC.You will need at least an NPPL medical declaration, available to download from the CAA website (which requires that you meet the DVLA driving standards), EASA class 2 and LAPL medical certificates are also acceptable.From April 2018 the NPPL will not be acceptable to fly an “EASA aircraft”, such as those at most flying schools, it will still be able to be used for those aircraft with a CAA or LAA “permit to fly”.To obtain this licence you must complete a minimum of 30 hours flying, 6 hours of this must be supervised solo and of that, 3 hours must be navigation.
Then it’s on to cross-country navigation, where we go and visit another airfield (we normally use Newcastle, Durham Tees-Valley or Blackpool), eventually you then just have some pre-test revision and the skills test to do.
Once you have passed all the exams within the 18 month/6 sitting window, they are valid for licence issue for 24 months from the final exam pass. | aerospace |

Most of the material left over after the formation of the sun went to Jupiter, forming a type of planet called a gas giant.
Jupiter's appearance is a tapestry of colorful cloud bands and spots. Most visible clouds are composed of ammonia and ammonia compounds, with unknown chemicals providing color. Jupiter's fast rotation - spinning once every 10 hours - creates strong jet streams, smearing its clouds into bands across the planet.
With no solid surface to slow them down, Jupiter's spots can persist for many years. The Great Red Spot, a swirling oval of clouds twice as wide as Earth, has been observed on the giant planet for more than 300 years. More recently, three smaller ovals merged to form the Little Red Spot, about half the size of its larger cousin. Scientists do not yet know if these ovals and planet-circling bands are shallow or deeply rooted to the interior.
The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is similar to that of the sun -- mostly hydrogen and helium. Deep in the atmosphere, pressure and temperature increase, compressing the hydrogen gas into a liquid. This gives Jupiter the largest ocean in the solar system - an ocean made of hydrogen instead of water. Scientists think that, at depths perhaps halfway to the planet's center, the pressure becomes so great that electrons are squeezed off the hydrogen atoms, making the liquid electrically conducting. Jupiter's fast rotation is thought to drive electrical currents in this region, generating the planet's powerful magnetic field. It is still unclear if, deeper down, Jupiter has a central core of solid material.
The Jovian magnetosphere is the region of space influenced by Jupiter's powerful magnetic field. It balloons 1 to 3 million kilometers (600,000 to 2 million miles) toward the sun and tapers into a windsock-shaped tail extending more than 1 billion kilometers (600 million miles) behind Jupiter, as far as Saturn's orbit. The magnetic field rotates with the planet and sweeps up particles that have an electric charge. Near the planet, the magnetic field traps a swarm of charged particles and accelerates them to very high energies, creating intense radiation that bombards the innermost moons and can damage spacecraft.
With four large moons and many smaller moons, Jupiter forms a kind of miniature solar system. Newly discovered moons of Jupiter are reported by astronomers and acknowledged with a temporary designation by the International Astronomical Union; once their orbits are confirmed, they are included in Jupiter's large moon count. Not including the "temporary" moons, Jupiter has 53 total.
Jupiter's four largest moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto - were first observed by the astronomer Galileo Galilei in 1610 using an early version of the telescope. These four moons are known today as the Galilean satellites. Galileo would be astonished at what we have learned about these moons, largely from the NASA mission named for him: Io is the most volcanically active body in the solar system; Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and the only moon known to have its own magnetic field; and a liquid-water ocean with the ingredients for life may lie beneath the frozen crust of Europa, making it a tempting place to explore.
Discovered in 1979 by NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft, Jupiter's rings were a surprise, as they are composed of small, dark particles and are difficult (but not impossible) to see except when backlit by the sun. Data from the Galileo spacecraft indicate that Jupiter's ring system may be formed by dust kicked up as interplanetary meteoroids smash into the giant planet's small innermost moons.
In December 1995, NASA's Galileo spacecraft dropped a probe into one of the dry, hot spots of Jupiter's atmosphere. The probe made the first direct measurements of the planet's composition and winds. Galileo studied Jupiter and its largest moons until 2003. Beginning in 2016, NASA's Juno spacecraft will conduct an in-depth investigation of the planet's atmosphere, deep structure, and magnetosphere for clues to its origin and evolution.
How Jupiter Got its Name
The largest and most massive of the planets was named Zeus by the Greeks and Jupiter by the Romans; he was the most important deity in both pantheons.
- 1610: Galileo Galilei makes the first detailed observations of Jupiter.
- 1973: Pioneer 10 becomes the first spacecraft to cross the asteroid belt and fly past Jupiter.
- 1979: Voyager 1 and 2 discover Jupiter's faint rings, several new moons and volcanic activity on Io's surface.
- 1994: Astronomers observe as pieces of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collide with Jupiter's southern hemisphere.
- 1995-2003: The Galileo spacecraft drops a probe into Jupiter's atmosphere and conducts extended observations of Jupiter and its moons and rings.
- 2007: Images taken by NASA's New Horizons spacecraft, on the way to Pluto, show new perspectives on Jupiter's atmospheric storms, the rings, volcanic Io, and icy Europa.
- 2009: On 20 July, almost exactly 15 years after fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy slammed into Jupiter, a comet or asteroid crashes into the giant planet's southern hemisphere.
- 2011: Juno launches to examine Jupiter's chemistry, atmosphere, interior structure, and magnetosphere. | aerospace |

Sukhoi SU-35 - Mean Machine
Not only is the Sukhoi Su-35 probably the most beautiful looking fighter aircraft in the world, but it is one mean machine as well with impressive performance.
The Flanker-E (NATO designation) is a single seat twin engine supermaneuverable multirole fighter. It was built to bridge the gap between legacy fighters and the fifth generation Sukhoi PAK FA.
It's primary air to air missiles include the R-37 with a range of 30km. The R-37 is a highly maneuverable heat seeking missile. The pilot can lock onto a target by simply looking at it. This gives him/her a significant advantage in a dogfight where he can lock on with ranges as low as 300m. The R-27 has a range of 130km and are radar homing. The R-77 is a fire and forget missile with a range of 80km. The R-37 has a range of up to 400km.
It can carry stores which include rockets and missiles and has a 30mm cannon.
Its thrust to weight ratio is 1.13 with 50% fuel, which means it can climb vertically. The F-22 for example has a thrust to weight ratio of 1.08 and the outdated F-15's is 1.07. All of these actually do worse against the Eurofighter Typhoon with a thrust to weight ratio of 1.15.
With the Su-35 performing this well one can only wonder how the new PAK FA will perform. While we wait for the PAK FA to enter service we can enjoy the sleek lines and superb performance of the Su-35 so long. | aerospace |

About half a million people are expected to apply for a one-way trip to Mars through the Dutch company “Mars One.” And even though it was a robot doing the landing, over 3 million people watched Curiosity land on the red planet.
Over 50 years ago, the nation (and the world) were riveted by NASA’s attempts to land a person on the moon, and bring him back safely to the earth. And when NASA succeeded, the whole world felt a sense of pride and awe when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped out of the LEM and onto the Sea of Tranquility.
In its way, space travel is its own reward. Yes, the space program has provided us with concrete benefits: GPS navigation, meteorological forecasts, and even treatments for osteoporosis. But what it truly offers us is inspiration and a drive to expand our knowledge.
Neil de Grasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium, reminds us that the real value of space travel is how it captures our imagination, and how it motivates us to continue learning:
My favorite quote, I think it was Antoine Saint-Exupery who said, “If you want to teach someone to sail, you don’t train them how to build a boat. You compel them to long for the open seas.” That longing drives our urge to innovate, and space exploration has the power to do that, especially when it’s a moving frontier because all traditional sciences are there.
We humans are naturally curious creatures — we are born to explore. A mission to Mars excites us because we simply don’t know what we’ll discover, or how exactly it will add to our knowledge, or what new technologies will arise as a result. Even if we don’t immediately sense its benefits, it still has value, because the journey of learning is its own reward.
That’s the same message we get on Shavuot, our celebration of Torah, because the study of Torah, too, doesn’t always provide an immediate return on its investment. Instead, we study Torah lishmah, for its own sake. | aerospace |

3) POGO (Partial Gravity Simulator) & CEVIS (International Space Station Mockup Bike)
Nial can be seen floating around in the POGO or the partial gravity simulator. As the name suggests, it is used to create perfect reduced gravity simulations. It is one of the most essential part of Astronaut training which helps them in doing all sorts of tasks in space.
In the Video, you can see Liam on another training Staple of Astronauts – Space station mockup bike. Cycle Ergometer with Vibration Isolation and Stabilization System (CEVIS) provides essential aerobic exercise to astronauts while in space to counteract the harmful effects of exposure to micro gravity.
4) T-38 Jets
These are the most important part of an Astronaut’s training at NASA. For more than 30 years now, the planes are used by pilots and other mission specialists to train themselves for the rigors of spaceflight . Powered by two after burning Jet engine, this is a part of training that is real word and not just simulation. The jets can reach up to an altitude of 40,000 feet and speeds up to 1.6 Mach
5) Orion space Craft
NASA’s latest and the most advanced spacecraft has is being built to carry humans into deep space. When completed it will be safest space ship to be ever built and would be used for the first manned mission to mars.

Not so long ago, scientists in the minds of the whole world argued that a woman’s body is not able to withstand the stresses experienced by astronauts. For this reason, the candidatures of the fair sex were not even considered. But in 1963, women still became part of a global cause - space exploration. We have prepared for you the TOP 10 of the bravest of them, those who have become part of the world history of mastering the universe.
The most courageous of the fair sex
- Valentina Tereshkova. She is known all over the world, because it was Valentina who became the first woman astronaut who, in 1963, went to conquer the starry spaces. Her call sign "Seagull" for 3 days sounded in space. It is also noteworthy that during her time in the spacecraft, Valentina managed to fly around the Earth 48 times, and on returning home she received the title of Hero of the USSR and became the first female general in Russia.
- Svetlana Savitskaya.She became the second famous Soviet womannot afraid to challenge alluring uncertainty. Before starting training at the cosmonaut training center, Svetlana worked as an instructor pilot. She was lucky to get into orbit twice - in 1982 and 1984. The first flight lasted almost 8 days, and the second was already 11 days. It was during this flight that Savitskaya for the first time in history went into outer space, where she spent 3.5 hours. The courage of Svetlana Savitskaya was appreciated, for which she was twice awarded the title of Hero of the USSR.
- Helena Sharmen. The first British woman astronaut. She went on a flight in 1991 as part of the Soyuz TM-12 crew. Interestingly, before getting into the number of astronauts, Helena worked at a confectionery factory, and when she heard about the competitive selection, she simply decided to try her hand. After out of 13 thousand participants chose her, Sharmen went to study at a training center near Moscow.
- Sunita Williams. This pretty American belongs to one of the space records - she spent 195 days in orbit. In addition, Sunita has become a record holder in the number of outlets in open space (there were 7 of them), as well as work there (more than 50 hours).After going into orbit in 2007, Sunita decided to support the annual running marathon, held annually in Boston. To do this, even built a special simulator on the ship.
- Susan helms. Since childhood, dreaming of the sky, Susan successfully graduated from the US Air Force Academy and in 1990 was selected to a detachment of candidates for NASA astronauts. On her account as much as 5 flights on the shuttle, and the time spent in space, is more than 210 days. Since 2011, she has the rank of lieutenant general and commands the 14th US Air Army.
- Eileen collins. She became famous for being the first woman in the world to lead a shuttle crew on her first flight in 1995. In 2005, the brave Eileen surprised NASA, because she managed to make a "flip" ship 360 degrees in space.
- Liu Yang. The first female cosmonaut of China. After graduating from the aviation school, I tried myself in the selection of candidates for astronauts and became one of the main contenders. It made its first flight in 2012, it lasted 12 days, and was sent to conduct various scientific experiments.
- Peggy Whitson. In the USA, it is known, first of all, because it has made as many as 6 spacewalks, which, in terms of time, is about 40 hours. But this is not the only record.In addition, Peggy became the first woman to lead the ISS, as well as the record for total time spent in space (376 days).
- Mae Carol Jamison.Despite the fact that separation by race was a thing of the past, the flight of May Carol into space became quite a noisy event, because it was the first African American woman to go to conquer the stars. A few months after the flight, Jamison left the astronaut ranks and became involved in propaganda activities. And in 1993 she was invited to play in a cameo role in the TV series "Star Trek".
- Anoushe Ansari. An American of Persian descent became the first woman to be a space tourist. Together with her husband she owns an investment firm that actively cooperates with Space Adventures, a company that selects people who wish to go into space.
The conquest of space is not an easy task, but many women have successfully coped with it, whose names are now known to the whole world.

Two months ago, a Dallas-bound Southwest Airlines flight made national news after an engine failure resulted in a passenger’s untimely death. Although airplane crashes are rare, they can be tragic and leave a lasting mark on any surviving passengers or families of deceased loved ones. More than one factor can contribute to an airplane crash, and determining the cause can be difficult.
The federal National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is responsible for investigating major aircraft crashes. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) may also investigate, depending on the nature of the crash. Plaintiffs in a lawsuit and their attorneys conduct independent investigations, and that is what Joseph Joy & Associates Louisiana personal injury attorneys are here for.
Aviation law includes laws that govern aircraft design, testing, manufacture, overhaul, operation, and maintenance. It covers both general and commercial aviation, and it includes all types of aviation litigation. If you need representation regarding a Louisiana airplane or helicopter crash, our airplane accident lawyers will work quickly to build your case. Deciding which legal claims to bring and who to sue depends on the cause of an airplane crash or a near-crash that causes injuries or death.
Most airplane crashes are caused the following:
- Defective equipment
- Defective design or structural problems
- Errors made by federal air traffic controllers
- Fuel problems
- Improper maintenance or repair of the airplane, and
- Pilot error
We have investigated accidents and represented victims in accidents caused by engine failure, component failure, rotor failure and improper maintenance. We also won a noteworthy settlement for a client in a case of an offshore helicopter accident. Our Louisiana helicopter and airplane accident lawyers conduct thorough investigations. We hire experts who know the field well and can help find answers to benefit your case.

Amelia Marie Earhart was born on July 24th, 1897 and disappeared in 1937 while attempting to circumnavigate the globe, leaving behind a major legacy in aviation and women’s rights. Amelia’s quiet grace has made her a sartorial symbol of classic elegance and smart dressing for stylish comfort. Setting plenty of records in the 20th century, Earhart was the 16th woman in the world to be issued a pilot’s license, the president of The Ninety-Nines, a society of female aviators, the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and she even had her own short-lived celebrity fashion line of women’s sportswear.

It is one of only 60 museums in the United States chosen to be a Star Station One site.
This national program is designed to build awareness of the International Space Station. The Visitors Center will offer timely demonstrations and programs to educate and excite the public about the International Space Station.
The International Space Station is the largest international peacetime project in history with 16 countries currently contributing resources and hardware to the endeavor. Once completed, the space station will be a state-of-the-art, multipurpose laboratory in Earth orbit that will provide a facility for discoveries in fields such as science, technology and medicine. NASA expects it will take approximately 45 launches and hundreds of pieces to assemble the space station over a five-year period.
Stennis Space Center's role in constructing the space station has been to test the Block 2-A Space Shuttle Main Engines. Deploying space station hardware demanded that the shuttle carry an additional 16,000 pounds of payload into orbit. The Block 2-A engines are more rugged and reliable than previous main engines. Their improved performance in power will help the shuttle carry the heavy space station equipment into orbit.
The Star Station One public education program was developed and organized by Bishop Museum of Honolulu, Hawaii, in cooperation with Space Center Houston. Sponsorship of this public education program is provided by The Boeing Company.
Each partner site will be provided with a detailed 1/144th scale space station model to display throughout the space station's construction. Each site will also be provided with a 1/50th scale "build-as-you-go" modules to replicate construction of the International Space Station as it evolves. At the end of three years, each museum will have constructed a complete International Space Station model, including its living quarters, working spaces and research modules.
For the next three years, Bishop Museum will provide Star Station OneTM centers and museums with a series of interactive demonstrations that will focus on timely issues. For example, the first demonstration will show how the station's construction elements will be launched into orbit and joined together in space. The entertaining and informative presentations will allow the public to have continuous, up-to-the-minute knowledge of the station. | aerospace |
https://buybigjoe.com/blogs/big-thoughts/big-joe-celebrates-6-year-anniversary-sinced-launching-a-bean-bag-in-space | 2024-04-19T08:17:54 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817382.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419074959-20240419104959-00006.warc.gz | 0.950151 | 678 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__66131673 | en | 6 years ago, a whimsical idea crossed our minds here at Big Joe - sending one of our bean bag chairs into space. It was 2016, and the notion seemed like a far-off fantasy. However, that summer, we decided to turn this daring dream into a reality, and with the help of our five brilliant summer interns at that time, we set out on an extraordinary mission.
Our Cosmic Traveler
Our bean bag chair, the beloved 'Kid's Lumin,' was chosen to become our cosmic traveler. It weighed a mere 2.27 pounds, making it the ideal candidate for this audacious expedition. Our interns worked tirelessly, gathering every Friday over two months, alongside their regular duties, to unravel the puzzle of how to send our bean bag chair into space.
A Full Company Collaboration Effort
The preparation for launch was no easy feat. Collaborating with the Comfort Research Sew Team, the interns fitted the bean bag chair with custom GoPro pockets to capture its journey. We mounted the cameras at the front of the craft, cleverly using custom coolers designed by our talented engineer to keep them warm amidst the frigid conditions of space. Additionally, we equipped the chair with a radar dome, parachute, 1500g Weather Balloon, and two GPS tracking devices to ensure a safe return.
Big Joe Takes Flight!
On a crisp August morning at 10 a.m., our vision took flight. Broadcasting the send-off on Facebook Live, we were humbled to see 8,975 viewers join us in witnessing this awe-inspiring launch. With the aid of weather balloons coordinated with satellites, our bean bag chair gracefully ascended beyond our expectations, reaching a height of over 105,000 feet, nearly 20 miles above the Earth.
As the chair floated through the vastness of space, its onboard GoPro camera captured breathtaking footage of the rapid descent back to Earth. Watching the video, it felt surreal to witness our humble bean bag chair traversing the edge of space through the clouds.
The entire mission was an unexpected success, taking our bean bag chair higher than ever anticipated. It eventually landed in a cornfield in Ionia County, Michigan. Thanks to the expertise of one of our interns and their skilled drone piloting, we located the chair with pinpoint accuracy.
Beyond the excitement and novelty of the project, we had a deeper mission in mind. We wanted to inspire young minds and showcase the boundless possibilities of exploration. By entrusting this grand endeavor to our summer interns, we aimed to empower them as leaders for outer space and innovative activities. Their dedication and passion proved that with determination and imagination, one can transcend conventional boundaries.
As the bean bag chair's cosmic journey came to a close, we were left in awe of the impact it had on so many. Comfort Research's vision, brought to life by our interns' commitment, revealed that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we dream big and work together.
Sending our beloved bean bag chair into space might have been a daring venture, but it was undoubtedly an experience that we will cherish for a lifetime. The sky is not the limit; it's just the beginning of a boundless universe of possibilities waiting to be explored. This endeavor was not just resources well spent, but an investment in inspiring the next generation of visionaries and dreamers. | aerospace |

The ISS is basically a waste of money, with no real science going on. All the real science in space is done using unmanned probes. The new infrared space telescope is a good example, which is going to be put out at one of the L points, I think L2, so that it's in a stable orbit and away from the interferance of the Earth. Another good example are the Mars rovers, which have quietly explored for month after month. Compare this to the total of about a week that the Apollo program managed to get a trained scientist onto the moon.
The space shuttle is the worst though, a proven mis-step. Before the system actually launched we were told that there would be a mission every week, launching every American satellite, plus many others from the rest of the world, recovering many exhaused & faulty satellites, and all of this cheaper than any other method of launching, because the orbiter itself was reusable, just fill it up again with it's internal fuel, hook it up to a stack, and relaunch.
Instead of this, we got much less than one mission a month, sometimes as little a 2 or 3 missions a year. Missions have been delayed for years because of problems. The orbiters aren't reusable, instead they're refurbishable. After each mission the engines have to be taken out, serviced, and reinstalled. All the heat protection systems have to be inspected and repaired.
Even with substantial subsdies, the shuttle was much more expensive than the alternatives, and commerical launches couldn't handle the risk of their launch being delayed because of a block on the whole system.
For recovering satellites, the realities were that the majority of satellites were simply unreachable by the orbiter, being thousands of miles outside of it's maximum orbit. Those few that were reachable were usually too dangerous to recover, something realized after they tried to cut the solar panels off a satelite to get it into the cargo bay - sharp pieces of metal and space suits do not mix. Even if a satellite is recovered, the pace of technology means that an old bird really doesn't have much value on the ground. You're better building a new one, with the latest features, than using an old one.
However the biggest problem was the basic concept. If you had continued to use disposible rockets like every other system in the world, then you can systematically improve each new generation of the system. The latest Arriane or Titan is much better than the originals. The latest shuttle launch is basically identical to the first one*.
If we'd had a different space program, we could be doing so much better.
* = Actually the first launch of the Challenger. Columbia's first launches were with less effective engines. | aerospace |

The Early Years
The unit's history dates back to 1956 when the 152nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the Arizona Air National Guard flew the Korean War vintage F-86A. At that time the "base" consisted of an old adobe farmhouse and a dirt-floor hangar with enough space for three aircraft.
Despite the facility limitations, the Air Defense Command's Headquarters 4th Air Force judged the 152nd FIS outstanding in accomplishing its air defense mission. It declared the unit "Best in the West" in the 1950s and the early 1960s. Late in 1968, the unit received its first of five Air Force Outstanding Unit Citations for converting from the F-100 day-fighter to the all-weather F-102 "Delta Dagger" interceptor aircraft in just 10 months. The unit did it faster and better than any other Air National Guard unit converting to the F-102. The Air National Guard officially redesignated the unit as the 162nd Tactical Fighter Training Group and the 152nd Tactical Fighter Squadron in 1969. The unit's new job was producing combat-ready pilots for the F-100 aircraft. They graduated their first students in 1970. Shortly afterward, the unit formed the Air National Guard Fighter Weapons School in Tucson. This school taught Air Guard and Reserve fighter pilots from throughout the country to effectively use advanced tactics and weapons technology. | aerospace |

On small islands and coastal areas, the runway can feel like it’s flowing straight into the sea – especially when there just isn’t enough land to build a long runway. But even inland, the landing strip can prove to be hazardous if the approach is built precariously close to populated areas, mountain sides and even cliff faces.
Geology aside, some airports are built precariously close to populated areas while others have runways that are cut off by obstacles such as train lines. A few airports have notoriously difficult approached but when the pilots start complaining about these landing strips, you know you should really be worried. | aerospace |

Eyewitnesses said the freak incident happened on the Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 that was flying from La Guardia Airport in New York City to Dallas with 143 passengers and five crew Tuesday morning.
They said the blast happened shortly after take-off, and that a piece of shrapnel flew off the destroyed motor before piercing a cabin window, forcing the jet to make an emergency landing at Philadelphia International airport.
It saw female passenger sucked out through the hole by the sudden, violent depressurization, with other passengers reportedly scrambling to pull her back inside.
Passenger Todd Baur told NBC 10:
Todd said said the woman was rushed off the plane to hospital as soon as it landed. Her condition is unknown.

“Over half a million people from all over the world have joined AXE’s space program with the Philippines among the top countries to join at No. 5 – next to the U.S., Great Britain, Germany, and France,” reports AXE Brand Manager Gem Laforteza. “I think that’s mainly because this is a big first for our country.” The Philippines is the only Asian country in the list thus far with Russia, Canada, Brazil, Portugal, and Spain completing the Top 10.
AXE’s promise to make heroes out of regular guys (or girls) has fueled a something of a space craze, with even celebrities all over the world expressing their intention to join. Among the local celebrities who have signed up for the space race are celebrity radio jocks Tony Bueno (Tony Toni) and Eric Virata (Slick Rick) from Magic 89.9’s hit three-man show Boy’s Night Out (BNO).
Sam Gogna (Sam YG), the third man of the BNO trio, will be part of the panel of judges that AXE Philippines has appointed to choose the two contenders who will be joining 103 others from all over the world at the AXE Apollo Global Space Camp in the U.S. “If Tony and Slick make it to the space camp in Florida, they’ll be in for an out-of-this-world experience. It’s going to be crazy,” Sam comments.“They’re out to win. But they’re going to have to beat everyone else in the National Challenges. Walang special treatment for the Boys,” he adds.
On the day that AXE announced the space program globally, the news quickly spread on Facebook and Twitter. The announcement post on the AXE Philippines fan page reached over 3.7 million Filipinos on Facebook and the hashtag #FirstPinoyInSpace trended on Twitter the morning after.
Globally, the Axe Apollo Space Academy website www.axeapollo.comhas received almost 4 million votes – 200,000 of which were from the Philippines. AXE has also been busy on YouTube with their SuperBowl Ad“Lifeguard” that clocked in 1 million views to date.
“Girls love a guy with a story, and this year Axe Apollo will give 22 guys one hell of a story. Hundreds of others from over 60 countries will also come over for three-day Axe Apollo Global Space Camp. Legendary spaceman Buzz Aldrin is also at the helm of the program, because he’s the man that represents everything that’s cool and awesome about being an astronaut,” says Russell Taylor, Axe Global Vice President.
Second man on the moon Buzz Aldrin has also been outspoken about his enthusiasm for AXE’s space program: “This is the future of space travel, where ordinary folks could get to experience in some ways what I have,” he says.
The program will culminate with an international crew of 22 astronauts who will be sent to space by the global fragrance brand AXE and international space travel agency Space Expedition Corporation (SXC). AXE Philippines has confirmed that there will be one guaranteed seat for a Filipino who will become the first Pinoy in space.
AXE Philippines Brand Manager Gem Laforteza expresses his appreciation for the massive outpour of support from aspiring Pinoys. “The number of applications we’ve gotten on axeapollo.comproves na hindi magpapahuli ang Pinoy. Everywhere in the country, people are talking about becoming the country’s next modern-day national hero. We at AXE Philippines are very happy to be part of this great moment in our history,” he says.
A hero’s welcome is waiting for you, so sign up now to be the first Pinoy astronaut.

Shortly after the latest engine storage vehicles moved from SpaceX’s Boca Chica plant in Texas to Starship’s first orbital launch site, the company officially closed the only highway leading to the ramp and nearby beach. At 4:30 p.m., when the CDT (UTC-5) came into contact with humid air steel, the first major test of the integrated Starship amplifier continued, with cryogenic vapor clouds pouring out of the Super Heavy B3’s push (rear) dome. It is cooled around –330 ° F (–200 ° C).
Booster 3 has completed its cryo testing, which included some very impressive venting.
Next up, a Static Fire test!
— Chris B – NSF (@NASASpaceflight) July 12, 2021
Although technically known as a cryogenic-resistant test, the first big problem with the Booster 3 seemed more like a basic pressure test. Surprisingly, in the two-hour run, the small amount of frost that forms outside the Super Heavy’s ~ 65m (~ 215 ft) long fuel tanks – a clear sign of “cryoprobes” – suggests that SpaceX has probably chosen a more cautious approach. To the first cryo proof of Booster 3.
In short, the Booster 3 was packed with more than 3,000 tons of liquid nitrogen that tanks could easily carry, and perhaps several hundred tons of liquid nitrogen, which is part of the total power that SpaceX’s suborbital release area could provide. Crews have been working day and night for months to equip Starship’s first orbital launch site with enough push tanks to launch at least one or two consecutive orbits – about 10,000 tons (~ 22M lb) – but the emerging tank farm is only partially operational. . This left SpaceX with a ground test and suborbital Starship launch rigs capable of storing about 1,200 tons of engine.
— Mary (@BocaChicaGal) July 13, 2021
Given that the suborbital cushion can both store and distribute non-guaranteed liquid nitrogen in the main liquid oxygen and methane tanks, SpaceX is able to fill approximately 30-40% of the usable volume of the Super Heavy B3. Frost lines are not always a sign of a guaranteed fill level, but if they are close, SpaceX probably filled the Booster 3’s tanks by only 5-10% during the rocket’s initial cryo-seal.
Based on the high, visible ventilation that occurs throughout the process, it is likely that Super Heavy’s initial cryo evidence was more focused on pressure tests with a small taste of true heat shock, loads, and overall mechanical stress. It is loaded with thousands of tons of thrust and produces thousands of tons of thrust with dozens of Raptor engines.
After testing on July 12, the next steps for the Super Heavy B3 could be a static firing test with one or more additional cryo-proofs or an unknown number of Raptor engines installed. The Amplifier completed Monday’s Raptor test drive with the most engines ever tested on three engines. SpaceX has not updated the backup test windows scheduled for CDT from 22:00 on July 13, 14 and 15, and any of them can be used for additional cryo-conduction or static firing testing.

These images have been taken, almost exclusively, by myself, Bob Leroux.
My life-long interest in photography and aviation come together in this website showing images taken from the ground and from the air. I hope you enjoy viewing the images as much as I have enjoyed capturing them, and feel free to leave a comment or two on our Contact page.
I have been a pilot for most of my life, first learning to fly at Mount Hope Airport in Hamilton, Ontario as a teenager while in high school when I was a member of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. After college I began my career as a pilot starting in the 1970’s as a flying instructor at Mount Hope.
Next door to the flying school was the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum featuring mostly vintage aircraft that were from World War II. Often I would take my students to the museum for them to learn the various parts and pieces of the aircraft. Needless to say, my camera was often with me.
You could say that I learned to take “portraits” of aircraft at the museum. I would try to frame the subject aircraft with no identifiable modern items in the photograph. The photos often looked as if they could have been taken when these old Warbirds were operational.
The CWH museum had an airshow every June on Father’s Day and that’s when I had the chance to photograph the Warbirds from the museum and from across Canada and the United States. It was really quite a gathering and often there were aircraft types that I had never seen before so it was a great photo opportunity to explore and learn.
My later career as a pilot was with Transport Canada as a Civil Aviation Inspector in Vancouver, British Columbia and Ottawa, Ontario. Now that I am retired there’s more time available for my aviation photography and to fly my Piper Turbo Arrow IV.

Every day, millions of airline passengers and tons of cargo arrive safely at their destinations thanks to the intelligence, training, and experience of their pilots. Learn what it takes to keep people safe at seven miles above the earth.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO SEE THIS VIEW EVERY DAY?
Airline pilots must pass the most rigorous standards in the world, ensuring that every flight is commanded by highly experienced professionals who are a cut above the rest.
Applicants must have extensive flying experience, in all types of weather conditions and operating environments, and hundreds of flight hours before they’re considered for passenger and cargo airline service. In addition, they must undergo a first-class medical exam and certification and pass stringent security, physical, and background checks. Once hired, they undergo continuous training and rigorous evaluations for the rest of their careers, so they’re always up to date on the latest aircraft, technology, and flight procedures.
When it comes to safety,
there is no substitute
Since 2010, there have been 171 fatal airline accidents worldwide. None of them involved passenger fatalities on U.S. airlines. The difference? Improved training, safety, and hiring standards.
The last fatal incident in the United States happened on February 12, 2009, with Colgan Air Flight 3407. Investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board led to Congress passing the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010, which required the FAA to create new rules on pilot experience, training, qualifications, and flight duty and rest.

Dealing with invisible and
Just another day On the job.
A professional pilot’s workday is anything but routine. They’re required to think and make critical decisions quickly, based on judgment developed from years of experience, readings from sophisticated equipment, the environment, and their own knowledge.
Here are common events that pilots experience, and how they contend with them:
Icy conditions can change the aerodynamics, handling qualities, and performance of the aircraft and its engines. Pilots are trained extensively in recognizing specific types of icing, how they affect various aircraft, and the procedures to use when those conditions are encountered.
The result of differing air density, attributable to many causes. Although modern airliners are designed to withstand these conditions and pilots are well equipped to fly in turbulence, pilots are trained to avoid areas of reported or forecasted turbulence in order to maximize passenger safety and comfort.
A sudden change in the direction and strength of wind, especially dangerous at low levels. Both ground-based radar and onboard systems are used to detect it. Wind shear recognition and recovery are regularly practiced in simulators. Recognition includes a sudden loss or increase of airspeed, while recovery may include advancing the throttle to maximum power while controlling aircraft pitch to optimize aircraft performance.
Thunderstorms & Hail
The most common way to navigate these hazards are to avoid them altogether. Pilots rely on weather forecasts, weather radar, and other pilots’ reports to gain foreknowledge of these conditions. They then use their best judgment to consider other options, such as delaying a departure or arrival or flying around a storm’s path.
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT YOUR PILOT
IS CHECKING WHILE YOU’RE
CHECKING IN FOR YOUR FLIGHT?
Pilots work to keep you safe long before you board the plane. Before every flight, they inspect their aircraft from top to bottom, personally confirming that critical systems are in working order. Take a look at everything they check to make sure your flight is safe and trouble-free:
- Weather conditions at departure and anticipated arrival point
- Alternate airport availability and conditions
- Maintenance log check
- Flight deck prep
- Aircraft weight and balance
- Hydraulic systems
- Caution and warning lights
- Gear pins and covers
- Fuel quantity
- Navigation equipment and aircraft lighting
- Parking brake
- Electronic Centralized Aircraft Monitor status
- Crew briefing
- Flight controls
- Flap setting

Maybe a single or twin-engine prop? A very light jet? A helicopter? Whatever your aircraft might be, you have to consider there’s much more to buying a plane than signing off on a loan. Here’s what the real costs of aircraft ownership are in Australia.
Much like car insurance, you wouldn’t go flying unless insured. You’ll have to take out hull and liability insurance to cover your plane from damage and damage to others. This cost may vary wildly between how many hours you have logged, where you’re keeping the plane and a myriad of other factors. This could range into the four or even five figures, depending on your aircraft and estimated flight hours you’ll be logging.
Cars can get by on a “roadworthy certificate” but a plane must adhere to much stricter standards. A plane requires annual checking from the electronics to the engines to the fuselage. Avionics equipment may deteriorate and need complete replacement and engines may require entire rebuilds. Some people finance the rebuilds separately to the plane!
Fuel is a big expense. Even for a fixed-gear single-engine Cessna 172, fuel may cost you up to $30-40 an hour! If you are making cross-country trips (provided you are rated for it), this can add up quickly. If you want to share the cost with passengers as a Private Pilot, you have to make three take offs or landings within the last 90 days.
4. Equipment and maps
You’ll need to buy equipment to be flight ready. This might include a headset, engine covers, backup GPS and survival equipment. You’ll also have to subscribe to CASA’s visual flight guides with all the up to date maps before you can submit a flight plan.
5. Reviews, ratings and flight-training
If you’re a pilot already, you know how involved flight training can be. To obtain your Recreational Pilots Licence, you must have at least 30-40hrs of flight time with an instructor (whom you must also hire for his or her time.) Obtaining your Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL) requires more time and dedication. Add to that any ratings, like IFR for example, you may want to have. You’ll also have to do a bi-annual review of your skills, which also means hiring an instructor. You will also have to undergo a medical test, too.
6. Hangar or tie-down fees
You have to keep your plane somewhere and your garage isn’t an option! You’ll have to pay for private hangar or tie-down fees just to keep your plane somewhere. Sometimes hangar fees offset your insurance costs, as your plane is more secure from the elements. It’s a significant cost to bear. | aerospace |

DRDC tested the most-advanced military GPS technology to date - a system that has the potential to improve mission effectiveness, reduce risks to personnel, and enhance operational efficiency. This research could revolutionize the Canadian Armed Forces’ (CAF) navigation and communication capabilities.
DRDC setting up for the tests. The yellow tents contain equipment that run the antennas being installed.
Canada was the first U.S. ally to receive the latest military GPS technology, giving DRDC access to the next generation M-code enabled GPS receiver cards for laboratory and field testing. M-code is a new GPS signal designed for military applications. This signal enhances GPS capabilities with improved defense against jamming (interference to prevent the GPS from working), spoofing (false information sent to the GPS), and unauthorized access. The M-code will also be faster and more accurate than previously used GPS signals. Designed to thwart any interference, the new M-code signal will ensure uninterrupted GPS navigation and timing signals for the CAF.
The military m-code receivers under test, as a DRDC researcher records data and CAF members from 3 Cdn Space Division observe and participate in the trial.
To test this new technology, DRDC researchers and a member from 3 Canadian Space Division conducted open-air GPS field trials, called GooseJam 23, at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa. The trials, which took place over the course of two weeks, had the goal of measuring the effectiveness of the M-code signal. Researchers were able to demonstrate the accuracy and reliability of the GPS system in real-world scenarios. They also validated the M-code’s resilience, challenging the GPS receivers under a variety of electronic threats.
DRDC checking the test equipment
The promising results from the trials open a path for future breakthroughs in GPS technology and its military applications. With enhanced navigation, communication, and electronic warfare capabilities, the CAF and its allies are poised to enter a new era of coalition operations - bolstering our readiness, capabilities, and interoperability in today’s ever more complex, contested, and evolving theatre of operations. | aerospace |

The Airbus A400M is a multi-role aircraft which is expected to improve the tactical air-to-air capabilities of the Indonesian Air Force. Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto stated that the aircraft will also play a key role in other key missions such as parachuting and heavy cargo transportation.
"In addition to its tactical and air-to-air capabilities, the A400M will become a national asset and play an important role in the Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response missions," said Prabowo, quoted from a written statement by Ministry of Defense (18/11/2021).
Previously, the A400M aircraft was exhibited by Airbus several times at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Jakarta, namely in March 2017 and August 2018.
In 2018, Indonesia had expressed its interest on A400M as the aircraft is capable of operating on rough landing strips. Indonesian Air Force and state entity Indonesia Trading Company said that they considered to use the plane's cargo lifting capability to help balancing prices of goods across the archipelago.

The A400M aircraft belonging to the French Air Force had been used to send aid to Lombok when the area was hit by an earthquake in August 2018. The Malaysian Air Force also used the same aircraft to deliver aid for Palu's earthquake and tsunami victims in October 2018.
The aircraft has one recorded fatal accident.
According to BBC, an A400M,
Aircraft MSN23, crashed on 9 May 2015. The MSN23 was performing its first test
flight but crashed shortly after it took off from San Pablo Airport in
Seville, Spain, killing four Spanish Airbus crew and seriously injuring two

This will set a new Guinness World Record when completed. The current record stands at 87 airports and is held by two pilots from the United Kingdom.
The world record attempt will encompass the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. The London-Corbin Airport will be one of those stops.
The attempt is occurring on September 11 to honor those that lost their lives on that day when our country was attacked. The significance of the number 110 draws from the fact that the World Trade Center had 110 floors. The record will be attempted in a Beechcraft Bonanza.
Moore has nearly 10,000 flight hours, and has been flying for 32 years. He is the owner of Watauga Flight Service a flight training company based out of the Elizabethton Municipal Airport. In addition to this he is a designated pilot examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration providing pilot certification exams from private pilots to airline transport pilots in both single and multi-engine aircraft.
Moore is a senior certified aircraft appraiser and brokers aircraft for sale through Jerry Temple Aviation in Frisco, Texas. He also is member of the Organization of Flying Insurance Adjusters.

One of the primary ways to reach Mongolia is by taking a flight. In 2020, a new international standard and larger airport were launched in Khoshigt Valley, about 52 km southwest of Ulaanbaatar. This Chinggis Khaan Airport has become the major international gateway, promising a brighter future for international flight connections.
Currently, several major carriers operate flights to and from Ulaanbaatar, including MIAT (Mongolian Airlines), Air China, Korean Air, Turkish Airlines, Air Busan, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, T'way Air, VietJet, Aeroflot, Hunnu Air, Eznis, and Aero Mongolia. These flights connect Ulaanbaatar to cities such as Beijing, Seoul, Busan, Tokyo, Istanbul, Berlin, Frankfurt, Moscow, Hong Kong, Jeju, and Bangkok.
We've previously mentioned that there are plans for a direct flight between the USA and Mongolia in 2024. Starting from September 6, 2023, MIAT has begun code-sharing with Turkish Airlines for flights to Ulaanbaatar from Chicago, USA, with tickets now available. The flight from Chicago to Istanbul will have the code "OM," and the connecting flight will be from Istanbul to Ulaanbaatar. MIAT has indicated that this is part of the preparations for the direct flight between the USA and Mongolia, which is planned for the first half of 2024. | aerospace |

The mission will consist of a spacecraft that will enter a dedicated orbit around Europa and survey the moon from orbit, as well as a probe that will land on the surface and conduct experiments. The mission will launch in 2022, likely to arrive at Europa a couple of years later at the most.
Europa is remarkable as it consists of a solid shell of ice beneath which lies an ocean which is made up of more water than there is on the entire Earth. Scientists have long speculated that Europa's subsurface ocean may be one of the most promising places in the Solar system beyond Earth for life to develop. It has also been a long-favourite location for science fiction authors to explore, most famously Arthur C. Clarke in 2010 and 2061, the two sequels to 2001: A Space Odyssey. It also played a major role in the 2013 film Europa Report, and in novels such as Galileo's Dream and The Quiet War.
The new Europa mission was directed by the House Appropriations subcommittee in the US Congress. Remarkably, NASA themselves did not want to include a lander, believing an orbiter was more important so it could select a future landing site for a lander. However, the chair of the subcomittee, Texas Congressman John Culberson, directed NASA to include a lander as part of an enhanced budget for their operations. With just six years before launch (not much time at all for such an advanced mission concept), NASA is going to have to scramble to get a lander designed and built.
Europa possesses a harsh environment which will make the long-term survival of a lander unlikely. Jupiter is ringed by massive radiation belts and Europa will be freezing cold, especially at night. It is likely that any such lander will only last a fortnight or so at most before failing.
This is a big step forwards for the exploration of the Solar system, especially impressive as it will happen on a fairly rapid timescale. | aerospace |

NASA says it’ll only be a matter of time before the spacecraft exits the solar system completely, becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space. (here)
I realize that Voyager has been in space just a few months longer than I’ve been alive, but why aren’t we more excited about this as a people? We Americans sent this into space over 34 years ago and it is traveling further than any human object has traveled before. And yet… we are concerned about Hollywood’s hottest dads… how to grill the perfect steak… and celebrating the black leather jacket.

In addition, the physical test period is long and expensive; this hinders the development of the satellite industry.The finite element simulation technology can conduct a comprehensive dynamic analysis of a product and obtain its response under various conditions.Among them, honeycomb sandwich panels are widely used.They provide the advantages of high specific stiffness and specific strength and good heat insulation, vibration isolation, and impact resistance [3–7].The design of satellite structures is bound to be highly conservative.The finite element model updating technology of satellite structures was proposed to solve this problem.The low-order frequency errors in the simulation model are less than 5%, the high-order errors are less than 10%, and the modal confidence MAC values are above 0.8.
The modal analysis of a satellite sailboard finite element model is carried out to accurately investigate the response of a satellite sailboard in a complex loaded space environment through simulation.
In recent years, according to the method of resolving problems, a model updating method based on response surface analysis has been developed.
This method transforms a finite element model updating problem from an inverse problem to a direct problem.
Finite element modelling consists of numerous theoretical assumptions, model simplification, distortion of connection conditions, and other factors.
Additionally, satellite structures are extremely complex. Various components and auxiliary structures interact with each other, and different composite materials are widely used. | aerospace |

Boeing values our relationship with Canada as a customer and supplier-partner for both our commercial and defence businesses — today, tomorrow and always.
That creates the greatest value for Canada, the United States and the aerospace industry. Bombardier is also selling the aircraft in the U. Government subsidies to Bombardier have enabled these violations of long-established international trade rules.
An independent third party, the International Trade Commission, is now looking at the facts in this case. The Airbus and Bombardier partnership changes nothing. Any duties finally levied against the C-series will have to be paid on any C-series airplane — or part — imported into the U.
The proposed partnership does not remove the underlying, trade distorting assistance from governments, and will only deepen our resolve to seek a level playing field in all markets. The C-series is in direct competition with the Boeing This trade case is about fairness.
Taking government subsidies and using them to offer below-production-cost pricing on aircraft is a violation in the U. Bombardier can sell its aircraft anywhere in the world, including the U.
Boeing welcomes the competition. But all sales must follow the laws and international agreements. Export-Import Bank financing does not go to Boeing. When operational, the bank enables non-U. The Export-Import Bank does not hand out subsidies. The World Trade Organization has dismissed the vast majority of subsidy claims against Boeing.
Boeing does not receive subsidies and is committed to abiding by international trade rules, including those set by the World Trade Organization. Boeing is a critical part of the Canadian aerospace industry.
Boeing began business operations in Canada informing Boeing Aircraft of Canada. Here Boeing produced the first transport airplanes built in western Canada.

If confirmed, the news would support dark predictions about how the robotic revolution may affect international politics. Some scholars, analysts and policymakers worry that military drones are easy and cheap to produce and to operate. So what happens when an increasing number of countries — from Nigeria to Iraq, from Iran to North Korea — gain inexpensive but advanced military capabilities?
Policymakers worry that the proliferation of drones would make the world more unstable and conflicts more likely.
There’s also a potential strategic cost. If many countries begin operating military drones, the United States might lose its military-technological superiority. Military drones could permit countries to match U.S. military power at a fraction of the cost and time it took the United States to develop its military-industrial complex, depriving the United States of an important advantage in combat. Potentially, even poorer nations could come to possess advanced military capabilities threatening the United States or its allies.
But our research, recently published in the journal Security Studies, shows such concerns are highly exaggerated.
Producing military drones is expensive and complex
First, military drones are neither easy nor cheap to produce. Toy-like drones are available online for a few hundred dollars, but these devices are not going to destroy U.S. Army battalions, overseas bases or U.S. cities. Only drones with extremely advanced capabilities could affect the international balance of power. Designing, developing and producing such platforms require advanced facilities and extensive experience in manufacturing cutting-edge technologies. That’s daunting — and doesn’t come cheap. The United States unquestionably leads in this realm.
Let’s look at France, second only to the United States in its military technology. France is extremely protectionist, especially about its military. In the late 1990s, the French government began funding programs to build long-range unmanned surveillance platforms like those developed by the United States and Israel. Such efforts systematically failed. In 2013, the French government decided to give in and buy the U.S.-made RQ-9 Reaper, the U.S. military’s platform for carrying out drone strikes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Yemen. The reason? Producing even an allegedly “simple” platform like the Reaper poses acute technological challenges even for advanced countries.
U.S. drone technology is advancing far more quickly than other nations’ technology
Our research also suggests that U.S. technology development is outpacing the worldwide spread of military drones. As the U.S. military creates next-generation drones, other countries are still struggling to produce first-generation drones — which are vulnerable to the most basic counter-systems, such as a rifle shot or controls hacked with off-the-shelf software.
What does this mean? As the United States and its allies develop capable and effective anti-drone systems, many countries’ current (or hoped-for) fleets of drones will inevitably become obsolete — at least against U.S. or allied troops and facilities.
That doesn’t mean we should completely dismiss the threat, but the broader implication is quite straightforward. Proliferation of these earlier-generation platforms isn’t likely to affect global peace and stability.
It’s really hard to deploy military drones
Perhaps most important, employing drones for military operations is extremely challenging. As Ron Adner of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College explains, any innovation poses what he calls “ecosystem challenges.” Simply put, innovations generally require organizational and infrastructural support. The more daunting such challenges are, the more difficult adopting an innovation will be.
To operate medium- to long-range drones, armed forces need advanced communication systems, command and control infrastructures, and skilled personnel. Even the U.S. military, despite unrivaled satellite communications, still struggles to allocate enough satellite bandwidth to employ its military drones in different parts of the world. Troops that want to operate these platforms must have a set of tactical procedures and operational concepts — but developing these takes time and political effort, as military innovations generally encounter strong resistance within the military and from a government.
The United States and Israel took several years to learn how to effectively fly and operate drones in combat. Could other countries, with more limited experience, lower budgets, and less-skilled and experience personnel, really catch up swiftly?
Look at Iraq’s drone program. Last year, the Iraqi government bought military drones from China. But Iraq doesn’t have any communication satellites. Therefore, it must pilot its drones using relatively short-range direct radio waves (in technical terms, this is “line-of-sight” communications). Radio waves, however, are easy to jam, so Iraq can fly its drones only within its borders, making them all but impossible to use to start a war with another country.
What’s more, when Iraqi armed forces first used this new technology, they mistakenly hit their own ground troops instead of the intended Islamic State targets. Operating advanced technology is never easy, especially without experience.
Don’t worry about other nations’ drones
So even if Iran has carried out its first drone strike, there’s no need to conclude we’re entering a dark age of drone warfare.
That’s because on the one hand, the proliferation of drones around the world doesn’t increase the chance of instability and conflict. Developing and employing drones poses more challenges than generally acknowledged. U.S. investments in counter-drone systems will help prevent less-capable platforms from jeopardizing global peace and security.
On the other hand, investing in counter-systems and in more advanced drone technology will help the U.S. military stay in the technological lead, especially if the U.S. military can harness the most advanced technologies now being developed by the U.S. private industry. The U.S. military has the experience to operate the information and communication technologies that military drones require — and will probably stay out in front in the age of robotics warfare.

Lower elapsed and transit times are good for not waiting for distance to meander by. Not that meandering isn’t a worthwhile way to travel, but for economy and the reality of life its just too much time waiting for transiting and a frustration.
David Lior, general manager of a small Israeli firm called R-Jet Engineering has a speedy more efficient and maybe quieter jet engine concept in their works. Next to rockets, with both fuel and oxidizer on board – jet is as fast as this writer is willing to go. Better engines are a very exciting prospect, especially if costs can be driven down.
Today’s modern jets with bypass turbo jets nacelles burn only half as much fuel per unit of thrust as their 1960s counterparts. These engines anchored to an airframe rely on Isaac Newton’s third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When a jet is running, a compressor at the front draws in air and compresses it- the action. The air is guided and diffused by static blades to allow for easier ignition into the combustion chamber where it is mixed with fuel and ignited. The reaction energy arrives from rapidly expanding hot gases, which blast out of the rear of the jet and thus drives the anchored engine and the aircraft forward. The ignited gases pass through another set of static blades, which direct and accelerate the hot gases to turn a turbine. The turbine is connected by a shaft to the compressor at the front, thus turning it and keeping the whole process running. As you can tell the non moving static diffuser and the non moving static stator are roadblocks in the way of free flowing air, fuel and exhaust gases.
R-Jet’s idea is to have the air and the ignited hot gases in the combustor rotate with the compressor and turbine. To achieve this, the company uses what it calls an orbiting combustion nozzle (OCN), which turns with the compressor to inject the air into the combustion chamber as a vortex. The vortex is maintained by blades that rotate on the inner casing of the combustor. This swirling action helps mix the air and fuel for more complete and much quicker combustion. The hot gases then exit, also in a vortex, to drive the turbine. No barrier to the actions with a diffuser or a block with stator. Free moving gases with little dynamic loss.
Dr Lior, says that eliminates the need for the two sets of static blades. It also means an OCN engine can be built more cheaply with fewer components. It would also need to be only half the size of a conventional jet of similar power. The engine would use at least 25% less fuel and, he claims, its emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide would be cut by three-quarters because of its unique ignition properties. Bold statements, indeed.
The company, founded by a group of Israeli military officials and jet-turbine experts from the former Soviet Union, has built a technology demonstrator but needs a bigger partner to take the concept further. A technical demonstrator isn’t going to put an engineering firm into the jet business. Radical changes in highly regulated fields like air transport where the installed base is almost uniform in design is a significant barrier to entry. R-Jet is working to get its OCN engines used first as generators to produce electricity or to power unmanned drones. With operating experience, the engines could then migrate to military aircraft and eventually airliners.
The big makers such as GE and Rolls Royce are not standing still. The visual change is the large fans in front of jet engines that are pulling air like a propeller and passing the air over the jet to muffle the exhaust blast sound. It’s effective if not as efficient as possible. Pulling some 90% of the working air over the whole engine at jet engine rotating speeds is a significant problem. Slower propellers are much more efficient. Both Rolls and GE are looking at alternatives like shorter counter rotating blades, Pratt and Whitney is considering reduction gears to slow the blade speeds down. Both offer improvements and considerable additional weight and mechanical load.
Those solutions would add significant cost to an engine and many more mechanical elements for breakdown, maintenance and inspection all built around the compress, diffuse, mix and ignite, stator straightening the flow and harvest regeneration energy in a now more than half century old, and well proven design.
It will be interesting to see if human syndromes like ‘not invented here’ and other emotional barriers will stop the major engine companies from seizing the opportunity that R-Jet has developed. If someone does, it could provide a giant leap forward for air travel and those wonderful short transit times for long distance travel.
That would be a good thing. Airlines have a hard time making money and fuel is a major expense. An ignition section revolution in jet engines could set up more decades of air travel improvements and put off the much of concern that the environmental crowd will get air travel into their sites for deep and steep fuel use restrictions. If we want to go far and fast for decades to come we might wish R-Jet and other innovators well. | aerospace |

John F. Kennedy went before congress and publicly announced the Apollo program
and its quest for the moon. NASA engineers
didn't know how to get a person to the moon back at the time of the 1961 announcement.
This needed to be studied, tested, better understood, developed and attempted.
The purpose behind JFK's announcement was to solidify the dream in the mind of
the paying voter. With that, debate regarding competing budget priorities (e.g. Vietnam)
was off the table. NASA engineers had carte blanche to focus on the challenges
Getting a person to the moon and back requires some sort of launch vehicle,
one with sufficient thrust to lift off but not so much thrust that the occupants
don't survive. Technology was evolving swiftly.
Under a procedure of evolutionary prototyping the project entailed trying things
out, seeing what worked and what didn't, and realigning the methodology within
the overarching objective. The project was like a series of Level 2 initiatives
where formative constructions were merely fodder for learning and were promptly
discarded. Various Apollo missions were launched, some aborted. Apollo 8
encountered an unfortunate death of three astronauts. Finally, it was Apollo 11
that made its way out of Earth's orbit and off to the moon.
From the perspective we introduced for Level 1, and further explored for Level 2,
the trial and error learning sharply reduces the performance expectation. Invariably
the best-laid plan will encounter uncertainty, interim failures and a realignment
of performance expectations.
These initiatives are often the subject of complete re-baselining, requiring
that the project permit be reviewed with approval authorities a number of times
prior to completion.
advocating a hedge factor to account for the uncertainty, the challenge here is
the implications this would pose to project motivations. If you gave the team
more money knowing the initial attempt was not practical, what would that do to
the efficiency of the spend? Rather, it appears to be a necessary requirement
to "hold feet to the fire" within reason while not unduly restricting cost growth.
Wisdom to know how and where to adjust is only learned while the investment
is underway much like playing chess.
If there is hedging to be done, it is perhaps privately with the approval stakeholders
as the project team acquaints them with the reality that, "notwithstanding our
promise to bring this home on time and on budget, this isn't going to happen as

Updated: June 2017
Sponsored Ads from www.LongBeach.com.ph:
San Vicente Airport, a domestic airport duly registered with the Civil Aviation authority (CAAP), officially opened in June 26, 2017.
Located just a few minutes away from the Long Beach, San Vicente Airport (also commonly referred to as San Vicente Palawan Airport) is expected to boost the tourism industry in the municipality once it becomes fully operational for bigger commercial planes like Airbus 320.
Currently, it can accommodate Category 2B aircraft, or those with wingspans between 15 meters and 24 meters. San Vicente Palawan Airport is now services flights of propeller-type planes flying the routes:
- Puerto Princesa to San Vicente and vice versa, operated by Airjuan
- Coron (Busuanga) to San Vicente and vice versa, also operated by Airjuan
San Vicente Airport, which is now on the the last phase of construction, with control tower, radio & communication systems and drainage system still needs to be put in place.
The completion of the airport was highly awaited by many investors as the dramatic improvement in tourism industry in San Vicente also depends upon the transportation systems. Many investors are planning to develop their resorts/hotels once the airport becomes fully operational, servicing bigger planes that will fly the route Manila to San Vicente and vice versa.
The airport is planned to ultimately operate as a regional airport servicing flights to & from select neighboring Asian countries. | aerospace |

The inquiry involving the Air Force was an effort to determine how four high-tech electrical nose cone fuses for Minuteman nuclear warheads were sent to Taiwan in place of helicopter batteries. The mistake was discovered in March - a year and a half after the mistaken shipment.
Mr. Gates made clear that most troubling was that the inquiry showed how little the Air Force had done to improve the security of the nuclear weapons infrastructure even after it was disclosed last year that a B-52 bomber had flown across the United States without anyone’s realizing that it was carrying six armed nuclear cruise missiles.
Some had said that the bomber flight was consciously done as a warning to Iran. I didn't find that persuasive at the time and especially don't find it persuasive now that NATO-ally Turkey and Iran are coordinating attacks on Kurds in northern Iraq. | aerospace |

As many know, Marvel Boy is on the Autism Spectrum. As such, he has certain subjects that he LOVES, and all things flight related are on his list of favorites. When planning our trip to Washington D.C., I knew that the National Air and Space Museum would be a “must-do” for our trip. Knowing that we could only see so many things in two days, the National Air and Space Museum ended up as our first stop. Could I really pull him past this museum to see something else???
We entered the National Air and Space Museum not long before a tour began. One of the docents asked me if we were interested in taking a tour. I asked how much the tour cost, and he said it was the best deal in Washington D.C., FREE. Well, of course, we decided to take it, and he was definitely right. We started off with the history of early flight.
I am just amazed at the lengths that people went in exploring how to fly! Could you imagine leaping off a hill or a cliff not knowing if what you designed would take you down safely?
It is so amazing that the National Air and Space Museum has an actual authentic Wright flyer on display. I can’t believe all the thought and ingenuity that went into making this flyer in a day with so little technology. The Wright flyer looks almost new! I guess that’s because they change the covering every 20 years. As a side note, did you know that the Wright brothers were homeschooled for a while?
Then, we moved into the jaw-dropping time of Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, and the Spirit of St. Louis.
The museum tour included a lot of information on how the Spirit of St. Louis was redesigned for its famous transatlantic flight. The odds were stacked against Lindbergh, but with his design ideas that moved the location of the fuel tanks, he made it!
Amelia Earhart has always been an interest of mine. How much she did as a female in a male’s world is just astounding!
We see all the safety and comfort features that are in today’s commercial airliners. Can you imagine flying in a plane that was made of corrugated steel like the American Airways plane at the arrow above? While it took quite some time for commercial planes to become affordable for most people, it was definitely worth the wait.
There are a couple of airplanes that can be entered and viewed as they were used years ago. It was something to see how “fancy” and upscale air traffic was back then. It was definitely more than a bag of peanuts!
The Fortress Under Fire is an impressive sight in the World War II gallery. This mural is 75 feet wide by 25 feet tall and takes up the entire wall. The painting by Keith Ferris freezes a moment in time during which this American B-17G Flying Fortress was under enemy attack. The mural is based on combat and witness reports.
There are so many things to see at the National Air and Space Museum that the two-hour tour just barely scratched the surface! We continued on for the rest of the afternoon. We saw the Apollo 11 command module, Columbia in which Michael Collins stayed in while Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. The Columbia is what subsequently brought all three safely back to Earth.
We also saw replicas of items from the space shuttle program, including these toys who made a trip into space. Marvel Boy even had the chance to try on some space suit gloves. Of course, I stroked when the docent told us how expensive each space suit is…
We even touched a piece of the moon. Yes, it was a very small piece, but now, I can say that I reached for the moon and touched it. 😉
There are so many hands-on exhibits at the National Air and Space Museum. I think that is a huge draw for any museum! In this display, Marvel Boy was able to look at different objects in space, and here he has found the space station.
A favorite draw for Marvel Boy (and his dad at a later date) is this original model from the original Star Trek series. Marvel Boy likes to watch Star Trek, and it was HUGE for him to be able to see this model lit up like it was for the television show!
The National Air and Space Museum was a lot of fun for all of us! Songbird used this trip to get information for an essay that she was writing on the history of air travel. Stay tuned for more posts about our trip to Washington D.C. to come soon. | aerospace |

Photos
Posted On 31/12/2016
A plane has skidded off the runway during takeoff at Goa airport. The Jet Airways aircraft was headed to Mumbai, India with 161 people on board, including seven crew members, when the incident took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Flight 9W 2374 veered off the runway at Dabolim airport in Goa while aligning for takeoff, the Indian Express reported. Some 12 passengers are believed to have been injured, the airline said. In a statement, Jet Airways said all passengers have been evacuated safely. “All guests and crew have been safely evacuated. Few guests have sustained injuries during the evacuation process,” Jet Airways said. As the aircraft was being evacuated, it reportedly tilted forward, sparking panic amongst passengers, an eyewitness said. The cause of the accident is not yet known. Officials said Dabolim airport would be closed for investigations until 12.30 pm. The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) will investigate. | aerospace |

Timeline of Barry E. Wilmore
In March 2015, the satirical website ClickHole published a humorous article featuring a fictitious quote from Barry Wilmore.
Wilmore returned to space in September 2014 as a member of the Soyuz TMA-14M long duration International Space Station crew. During this mission, humans manufactured off world for the very first time. The International Space Station’s 3-D printer, designed and built by Made In Space, Inc., was used for to print a tool with a design file transmitted from the ground to the printer. The tool was a ratchet wrench needed by Wilmore, who would have had to wait for the tool to be delivered on the next supply mission from Earth. The wrench was later returned to the ground for analysis and testing, along with the other parts printed in space.
Barry Wilmore has received numerous medals, awards and honors. These include the Navy Meritorious Service Medal, the Air Medal (5), 3 with the Combat “V” designation, the Navy Commendation Medal (6), 3 of which also hold the Combat “V” designation, the Navy Achievement Medal (2), and numerous Unit decorations. He has also received the Aviation Officer Candidate School (AOCS) “Distinguished Naval Graduate” award. He is also on the Initial Naval Flight Training “Commodore’s List With Distinction”. He has also won the U.S. Atlantic Fleet “Light Attack Wing One – Pilot Of The Year” (1991) and U.S. Atlantic Fleet “Strike Fighter Aviator of the Year” (1999). Wilmore is the recipient of the Strike Fighter Wing Atlantic “Scott Speicher Award” for Weapons Employment Excellence (1998). In 2003 Barry Wilmore was inducted to the Tennessee Technological University “Sports Hall of Fame”.
Prior to being selected as a NASA astronaut in July 2000, Wilmore was an experienced Navy test pilot. He also participated in the development of T-45 Goshawk trainer jet.
Wilmore was selected as a pilot by NASA in July 2000, and reported for training that August. Following the completion of two years of training and evaluation, Wilmore was assigned technical duties representing the Astronaut Office on all propulsion systems issues including the Space Shuttle Main Engines, solid rocket motor, external tank, and also served on the astronaut support team that traveled to the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, in support of launch and landing operations. He flew to the International Space Station in September 2014 on Soyuz TMA-14M as a member of Expedition 41/42.
Barry Eugene “Butch” Wilmore (born December 29, 1962) is a NASA astronaut and United States Navy test pilot. He has had two spaceflights, the first of which was an 11-day Space Shuttle mission in November 2009, to the International Space Station. Wilmore was designated as pilot with five other crew members on Space Shuttle Atlantis for the mission STS-129. He most recently served as part of Expedition 41 to the International Space Station. | aerospace |

NASA wants to have “the absolute safest program we possibly can have. The reason for in which, of course, is actually because if we lose an astronaut, the whole world stops,” he said in 2018. “the item doesn’t just mean in which NASA stops doing human exploration for the next three years or more, as we saw after Columbia and also also also Challenger. the item means the president of the United States stops what he’s doing. . . . and also also also presidents and also also also prime ministers around the planet stop what they’re doing. in which’s how important This specific is actually to the entire world.”
To This specific White House, space holds a special place – at once a frontier to explore, a domain in which’s been militarized and also also also an opportunity for economic expansion. the item has moved aggressively on all fronts, reconstituting the National Space Council, chaired by Vice President Mike Pence, speeding up efforts to return to the moon, standing up a completely new military branch, Space Force, and also also also slashing regulations while promoting the growth of a commercial space industry.
Even some Democrats have praised the administration for doing space a priority, and also also also Bridenstine, a former Republican congressman coming from Oklahoma who was confirmed by a narrow party-line vote, has earned admiration and also also also respect coming from across the aisle.
So far, however, the item remains to be seen whether any of the administration’s efforts will achieve the kind of success the Trump administration envisions. Despite the full force of the White House, and also also also a pledge by Pence to get to the lunar surface “by any means necessary,” the Artemis lunar program is actually struggling to find support in Congress. Some Democrats have accused the White House of playing politics with the nation’s space program, by attempting to speed up a landing to ensure the item would likely fall in Trump’s second term.
Critics say the Space Force is actually little more than a pointless exercise in bureaucratic reshuffling. and also also also NASA’s effort to restore human spaceflight to United States soil, under NASA’s Commercial Crew program, has suffered years of delays and also also also setbacks.
Trump has shown interest in space and also also also said he’s “thinking about going” to the SpaceX launch. He’s praised the high-profile “space barons” like Elon Musk and also also also Jeff Bezos who have commenced space companies. “Rich guys, they love rocket ships,” he said in 2018. “in which’s not bad. in which’s better than us paying for them.” (Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
however he’s also sent confusing signs on his administration’s goals, tweeting last year in which “NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon – We did in which 50 years ago.” Officials later clarified in which the statement in which seemed to undercut his own administration’s plans to return to the lunar surface was actually intended to push the idea of using the moon as a steppingstone to Mars.
however before the item does any of in which, NASA must show the item can fly astronauts reliably to a much closer target – the International Space Station, in orbit some 240 miles high. A successful launch would likely be the culmination of a program launched by President Barack Obama.
The commercial crew program, as the item is actually called, was a risky proposition coming from the start – a bold experiment by NASA to outsource human space flight to the private sector in which has led to an improbable moment within the history of America’s space program: two NASA astronauts strapping into SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, a spacecraft in which has never before flown humans.
right now the stakes for the May 27 mission are even higher. On Monday, NASA’s head of human exploration, Douglas Loverro, abruptly resigned, a shocking development in which has raised questions about the agency’s position to pull the item off safely with yet another glaring vacancy at the top of its bureaucracy.
Rep. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., the chair of the House space subcommittee, wrote on Twitter in which she “was deeply concerned about This specific sudden resignation, especially eight days before the first scheduled launch of US astronauts on US soil in almost a decade.”
She added in which under “This specific Administration, we’ve seen a pattern of abrupt departures in which have disrupted our efforts at human space flight.” Loverro’s resignation came after William Gerstenmaier, the longtime head of human spaceflight, was demoted last year.
Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D-Texas, chair of the House Science Committee, said in a statement she trusts Bridenstine “will ensure in which the right decision is actually made as to whether or not to delay the launch attempt.”
The shake-up at NASA’s highest ranks was not the distraction NASA or the White House wanted as the item looks to celebrate what would likely be a huge moment for the country. within the days leading up to the flight, the White House has talked in lofty terms about the significance of the flight and also also also how the item could help unify a country riven by a divisive election campaign and also also also reeling coming from the pandemic.
At a meeting Tuesday of the reconstituted National Space Council, Pence said the launch would likely play a key part in “renewing American leadership in space.”
The mission represents “exactly the kind of leadership in which has inspired our nation throughout my lifetime, and also also also I know the item is actually going to be a great inspiration to the American people when we see those rockets fire next week.”
President Donald Trump even bragged recently in which his administration has “reinvigorated” NASA, which he wrongly said “was dead as a door nail, however right now the item’s very much alive.”
Inside NASA, officials are cautiously optimistic about the test flight for its “Commercial Crew” program in which would likely propel two veteran NASA astronauts, Bob Behnken and also also also Doug Hurley, to the International Space Station. however they also are keenly aware of the risks inherent in human spaceflight – especially on a spacecraft in which has never before flown humans.
Should anything go wrong, the item would likely not only be a blow to NASA’s Commercial Crew program, however to the White House’s plan to win congressional support to improve funding so NASA could return astronauts to the lunar surface on an accelerated schedule in which moved up the landing by four years to 2024.
“I’m excited to see an American rocket launch coming from American soil,” Horn said in an interview before Loverro’s resignation. “however I recognize there is actually a lot at stake here.”
the item’s been a long, difficult road to get to the point of launching humans again.
In 2014, the Obama administration awarded contracts to SpaceX and also also also Boeing to fly astronauts to the International Space Station, following a program coming from the George W. Bush White House in which hired private companies to fly cargo and also also also supplies there.
Flying astronauts is actually a far more difficult task, and also also also both Boeing and also also also SpaceX have had to overcome challenges in which delayed the first launches coming from 2017.
The program took an especially embarrassing hit late last year when the maiden launch of a Boeing spacecraft, which had no crews on board, went awry as soon as the item reached orbit.
the item was a wake-up call for NASA to better police the companies the item had entrusted with flying its astronauts.
“NASA oversight was insufficient – in which’s obvious,” Loverro said earlier This specific year.
The mishap puts even more pressure on the upcoming launch of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.
“the item’s been a complex journey for SpaceX to get the mission to This specific level of readiness, and also also also they are to be commended” said Paul Hill, a member of NASA’s safety advisory panel and also also also the former director of mission operations at NASA’s Johnson Space Center.
Still, he urged against what he called “go fever” and also also also to remain vigilant within the days leading up to the launch.
however despite all the high-profile attention – Pence is actually likely to be at the launch – Kathy Lueders, NASA’s commercial crew program manager, told the safety panel its decisions would likely all be made with safety in mind.
“We’re not going to rush,” she said. “and also also also we’ll launch when we’re ready.”

I’ve been geeking out on space literature because I will be coaching at a high school debate camp this summer, and the students will be debating about space exploration and development.
All this reading has started to make me wonder what reproductive rights would look like in a spacefaring civilization. Cuz let’s be real – you have to put limits on reproduction on a spaceship – there just isn’t space for people to breed willy nilly. (Before you try to pump the breaks by saying that NASA claims sex isn’t possible in zero gravity, this video from The History Channel proves that the Russians have figured out how to get it done in outer space, complete with bom chicka wah wah music.)
So I open the discussion to you, the readers. When humans are zipping around the intergalactic neighborhood, do you think there will be limits on who can give birth and how many children they can have? | aerospace |
