Launched last November 26, the Mars Science Laboratory space probe mission landed Curiosity, a 1,980-lb mobile research lab, just over a week ago on August 6 to study its climate and geology in preparation for a manned mission to the planet. A part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, the $2.5 billion vehicle (rover) is to explore for at least 687 Earth days (1 Martian year) over a range of 3.1 by 12 miles. Curiosity carries 17 cameras, 10 scientific instruments, two computers with four processors and a whopping 4.5 gigabytes of data storage.
Obviously communications is both critical and complex. Curiosity landed less than two miles from its target, after a journey of 350 million miles. At its closest approach, the distance between Mars and Earth is 34.8 million miles, and 250 million miles at its farthest, with the average being 140 million miles. It takes approximately 14 minutes for a signal to travel between the two planets.
Curiosity can communicate with Earth directly in speeds up to 32 kbit/s, but the bulk of the data transfer will be relayed through the the two satellites orbiting the planet, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Odyssey, which provide more power and have better antennas. Each orbiter can only communicate with the rover for about 8 minutes per day, but data transfer speeds may reach 2 Mbit/s and 256 kbit/s, respectively. Odyssey is capable of relaying UHF telemetry back to Earth in real time, with the transmission taking just under 14 minutes during the landing.
Calling home is via NASA’s Deep Space Network (DSN) antennas at Goldstone, in California’s Mojave Desert; near Madrid, Spain; and near Canberra, Australia. There are three types of traffic: telemetry to report temperature, power and other onboard conditions; computer process reporting; and the actual science data.
Expecting a surge of interest for the August 6th landing, NASA partnered with Amazon Web Services to handle the temporary demand peak via the Cloud. Shortly before the landing, NASA provisioned stacks of AWS infrastructure, each capable of handling 25 gigabits/sec of traffic and used Amazon CloudWatch to monitor spikes in traffic volume and to add more capacity based on regional demand.
The bottom line is that the Mars mission features technology, including data communications capabilities, that were state-of-the-art years ago. However, given that the expedition is set to last two years and a service call would involve a 700-million-mile round trip, reliability and durability are a lot more important than the latest bells and whistles. | aerospace |

eSMS-S™ was conceptualised when SMS was first announced by ICAO as a Standard and Recommended Practice.
SMS appeared to be ‘a monster’ descending on particularly small to medium-sized aircraft Operators and airlines. Something had to be done to implement a Safety Management System that was SIMPLE and COST EFFECTIVE for these Operators.
This requirement was the start of eSMS-S™ and although the system has grown and matured to include its client's requirements, it was developed and has remained true to its core concept - that every tool in the system is simple to use and the system itself is cost-effective, even for smaller organisations. | aerospace |

The drone industry: potential and paranoia
Globally, drones are being deployed for innumerable applications across various sectors. They are being used for police patrolling, land surveys, aerial photography and cinematography, mining reconnaissance, survey of power transmission lines, cargo delivery, and so on. India is a global giant in the software industry. The service capabilities of drones are greatly dependent on its software capabilities and Indian drone companies are in a unique position to harness India’s strength in this area. While the drone industry promises to be a multi-billion dollar industry, regulations in India are pulling the industry back from ‘taking off’.
Since October of 2014, drones are banned from taking to the Indian airspace without “prior authorisation”. The ban was implemented by a circular of the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on account of safety and security concerns. While the circular provides for approvals to fly on a case by case basis, no approvals have been granted to any private organisation thus far. A comprehensive regulatory framework for the industry has been in the works for several months and only a draft of the proposed guidelines has been released thus far. Furthermore, the draft guidelines are limited to the operation of drones, once the same have been developed, tried and tested. It fails to provide the framework for design, manufacture of prototypes and test-flights. The DGCA needs to provide a framework for R&D on priority. If not, then India will stand to lose the promising inroads it has made towards becoming a significant player in this nascent industry. Industry in countries with progressive regulations that support R&D will make significant progress and eventually emerge as both thought leaders and industry leaders in the domain.
The balancing act
Of course, the Indian regulator needs to grapple with genuine safety concerns. — drones falling of the sky are unlikely to be a pretty sight. However, what is important is to build a regulatory environment that balances the interests of the drone industry and safety concerns. It is a tough balance to strike and the only way to learn will be through trial and error. It is essential that the regulators accept a higher than zero risk level.
In the interregnum
Even as the draft guidelines are debated for final implementation, it is essential that limited-scope R&D continues to build and maintain the impetus of our indigenous drones industry. As of now, there is a standstill.
The DGCA should borrow from the United States, wherein the Federal Aviation Authority has issued special airworthiness certificates for UAVs for test / experimental flights on a case-by-case basis [FAA Order 8130.34C]. This is to transition gradually to more routine certification processes. The FAA has so far issued over 100 experimental airworthiness certificates to over 16 different models of unmanned aircraft. These certificates are temporary in nature and permit industry to undertake R&D / conduct test flights in restricted conditions.
The DGCA should, in consultation with concerned agencies, designate test sites in various parts of the country where prototypes may be tested in a controlled environment under the strict watch of the DGCA. Test sites also tend to make the R&D process cost effective as resources for setting up test sites are then rationalised. Government-run test sites will allow R&D to continue while providing the regulator an opportunity to deeply understand the operational issues relating to UAS on a first-hand basis and to inform the dialogue concerning the use of UAS technologies both locally and internationally.
A limited revival of the now deleted Civil Aviation Requirements relating to Construction, Certification and Operation of Experimental and Amateur- Build Aircraft (Section 2, Series F, Part XVIII, Issue I dated 23rd October 1992) should be considered. These regulations provided guidance on the building and certification of amateur built aircraft in the Experimental Category. Many new ideas and concepts originate with small aircraft built by the non- professional designer. This activity will be destroyed by excessive regulation suited to large corporations whose commercial objectives in the development process are more immediate.
In the longer run, it is hoped that a comprehensive regulatory framework for drone design, prototype manufacture and test-flights would be put in place. It is essential that the framework is simple and performance based, so as to allow a small startup company or SMEs to start low-risk operations under minimal rules. Over a period of time these rules may be made more stringent, just as certificates will become more permissive and the industry too would have evolved.

by Philip Cleaver
Porokoru Patapu (Johnny) Pohe was a daring and gifted pilot who flew bomber aircraft in the Second World War. In 1943, after twenty-two successful missions, his aircraft was shot down and he was captured. Johnny was taken to Stalag Luft III, a prison camp deep in Nazi Germany. This article tells the story of an ambitious prison escape that ended tragically for Johnny and for many others. It includes information about Māori involvement in the Second World War and about the devastating impact of bombing civilians in Germany. | aerospace |

Has anyone had problems with this? Any advice as it is a 3 hour flight and I do like to fly non-stop.
I’ve never had an issue with flying and I put on about 70K miles a year. I was concerned at first due to the vibrations but it seems there is not enough vibration at least for my level of TN.
i too was concerned at first because of the pressure changes. but the only time it bothered me even the slightest was the descend down to land. even then it was minor. you could take something as a preventive measure if you think it would. i did that my first time and i had no issues what so ever, second time was when i didn’t and had minor discomfort upon the descending.
Thanks I had gone thru most of the discussions and did not see one for this, so I thought I would ask. Now I know I can still fly and enjoy more time with them. | aerospace |

Monthly tarmac days give the museum volunteers an opportunity to operate some of the almost 50 classics of Australian aviation on display across hangars at the Shellharbour Airport facility, just off the Princes Highway at Albion Park Rail.
On Saturday of the Tarmac Days one of the two DHC-4 Caribou at HARS Aviation Museum is scheduled to fly, while the newly-restored Tracker will conduct spectacular engine runs.
Visitors can check out four versions of the legendary Douglas DC-3, or C-47 Dakota in military designation, which last month marked 85 years of the type entering service.
More than 16,000 were made between 1935 and 1949, with HARS Aviation Museum continuing to fly two in RAAF C-47 Dakota configuration, one as the DC-3 which in 1946 operated the first
passenger flight for Trans-Australia Airlines as well as a former RAN Dakota which is undergoing restoration.
In Australia, the DC-3 was operated by many airlines including Qantas, Australian National Airways, Ansett ANA and Trans-Australia Airlines while as a military transport the Dakota flew nearly 60 years of operational service until March 1999 - a record that has not yet been passed.
HARS Aviation Museum at Shellharbour Airport maintains a remarkable collection of aircraft - almost half still operational - where almost 50 aircraft have been carefully preserved for future generations as a heritage of aviation history in Australia.
HARS Aviation Museum is open daily from 9.30 to 3.30 and later to 5 pm during January school holidays.
HARS Aviation Museum and its Café Connie provides a Covid-safe environment with visitors required to sign in via the Service NSW site as well as get their temperature checked then practise safe distancing.

The crash occurred at 6:36 p.m. near Road 68 and Avenue 288.
TCSO spokeswoman Ashley Schwarm said there were no survivors.
Deputies were at the scene of the crash, where a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza went down in a field a few miles west of the Visalia Airport.
Cause of the crash was not immediately known. It also was not clear where the plane was heading for.
There were foggy conditions during the time of the crash. But it was not known if such conditions played a factor in the plane’s crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board was notified and expected to arrive to the area Sunday.

The iconic aircraft has come to represent the nation’s strength and authority in the international arena, and is still widely regarded as the President’s official and exclusive means of transportation.
The United States Air Force is responsible for the operation of Air Force One, a modified Boeing 747-200 that stands out amongst the rest with its distinguished blue and white upper fuselage and red and white lower body. It is looked after by an elite team of the President’s staff – all highly trained professionals. Though iconic, it is still part of the US Air Force family, sharing the same iconic livery.
Providing the President with a safe and secure mode of travel, while simultaneously delivering an abundance of communications and security technologies, Air Force One serves as a commanding air presence. Recharging in flight, this impressive aircraft has the power of extended-range flight – allowing it to stretch far beyond its starting point without ever needing to descend for a landing.
Later today, a high-security convoy of personnel will transport the President and his team to an airfield close to the heart of Washington D.C. There, the POTUS will be boarded onto Air Force One surrounded by a phalanx of Secret Service and protective agents. A guard of honour formed by service members shall escort him aboard the aircraft.
Once the chief of the US takes his seat on Air Force One, all of that day’s proceedings will be handed over to him. The Presidential plane will soon be airborne, transporting its valued passenger to his next destination. When the President lands, a sea of people will be eagerly awaiting his presence. Afterward, the President will proceed to partake in various ceremonies and accolades, from attending news conferences to official state visits and further essential proceedings.
In the evening, after the President has finished his obligations of the day, Air Force One stands at the ready to transport the President and his staff back to our nation’s capital. After touching down at a specified and well-protected airfield, the President will be whisked away to the White House.
Every time the President steps aboard the iconic Air Force One, it is a powerful reminder of the United States’ enduring strength and global influence. An unmistakable symbol of American military and political history, the momentous boarding of the stately aircraft serves to evoke both the could and prestige of the nation.
As the pinnacle of prestige, Air Force One soared in and proudly landed at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, carrying the President of the United States today. Symbolizing the Commander-in-Chief’s power and preeminence, this leading edge aircraft continues to be a true symbol of eminence.
Today, Air Force One has made a special voyage to the base with the intention of picking up one exceptionally important passenger: The President. This individual is visiting countries from Europe to the Middle East on a diplomatic mission and demands only the utmost among vehicles–Air Force One.
At the stroke of mid-morning, the President touched down at Andrews Air Force Base to the enthusiastic applause of a proud crowd of dignitaries and military personnel. He was welcomed with open arms onto the sun-kissed tarmac, where the presidential aircraft shimmered in anticipation of takeoff.
The President of the United States is able to travel to the ends of the earth thanks to a modified Boeing 747-200B known as Air Force One. It has been given a customized suite for the President and an expanded staff area, plus various communication systems that ensure no destination is out of reach.
After the President stowed away on the aircraft, it idled down the tarmac, ready to take off. The Air Force One staff of two pilots, two attendants and a doctor had made sure every safety precaution was taken – doing a security check, securing all passengers inside before departure. As the airplane sped through the clouds, they could rest easy knowing precautions had been taken.
The plane moved slowly down the tarmac as the Presidential Seal and Stars and Stripes patterned its sides. The powerful engines purred and the aircraft took to the open skies. American flags waved with joy below as the plane gained altitude and the crowds cheered it along.
President’s journey on Air Force One today is essential for world peace. His mission is to meet with various international leaders in order to foster harmony and stability across the world. During this trip, someone could find Air Force One flying to multiple places, such as Europe and the Middle East.
Today, Air Force One serves as a proud symbol of the American nation, not only for its intimidating aura but also for its current mission of diplomatic relations and public harmony. Around the world, people’s eyes remain fixed in anticipation for the President’s return aboard this vessel of power and peace.

The company has grounded close to 200 aircraft following the recent malfunction of a 737 Max 9 aircraft that had an emergency door panel flying off mid flight.
Trump in his post on his social media platform Truth Social, argued that the 757 was “the most beautiful, best handling” aircraft that the company had created. He then pushed for them to stop making “crazy extensions’ ‘ to the 737, which was the “worst looking” aircraft. He added that all that led to was the 737 Max which seems to be “cursed.” He then stated that the company needed to return to the 757 as he had done.
Following the Jan. 5 incident, when an emergency door panel from a 737 Max 9 detached while the aircraft was at an elevation of 16,000 feet, the stock of Boeing has dropped. The emergency resulted in the side of the plane having a gaping hole.
On Saturday, the Federal Aviation Administration ordered that around 171 Boeing planes would need to be temporarily grounded.
Alaska Airlines, which operated the 737 Max 9 during the flight, and United Airlines in a separate report noted that they had found loose parts in the door panels of some of their aircraft following subsequent inspections.
The National Transportation Safety Board federal investigators stated that they were currently trying to determine whether the plane door had any bolts attached to the aircraft before take off.
Over the years, Boeing had issues with various aircraft. The company has now pledged that they would address all of the findings of the investigation.

But it has been discovered that the moon is slowly inching away from our home planet at a rate of 3.8cm per year.
It was earlier assumed that the moon, Earth’s only natural satellite revolving around our planet, is at a constant distance away due to the gravitational pull of Earth.
However, a new discovery by NASA suggests that the moon is slowly drifting away into the emptiness of space.
But why is the moon drifting away from the Earth? Experts believe that it has to do with ‘Milankovitch cycles’, which describe the tiny diversion in the shape of Earth’s orbit, its axis and its impacts on the amount of sunlight received on Earth.
The cycles and frequencies of these cycles determine the distance between the Moon and Earth, as the moon was reportedly 60,000km closer to Earth around 2.46 billion years ago.
The small changes in the cycles change the amount of sunlight the planet receives, with scientists researching old sediment so that they can measure Earth’s wobble and figure out how far the moon was from the planet.
The discovery reportedly came due to reflective panels installed on the Moon back in 1969 during the Apollo mission, which has allowed NASA to measure the distance. | aerospace |

While investors typically expect competitors to come from companies offering similar services, such as Rocket Lab USA or Boeing with its space capsules, Amazon's close ties with space start-up Blue Origin present a potent challenge.
What sets Amazon apart is its founder, Jeff Bezos, who is also the founder of Blue Origin. Further bolstering its position in the space industry, Amazon has its own space-based Wi-Fi business called Project Kuiper. The recent appointment of Dave Limp, a longtime executive at Amazon, as the new CEO of Blue Origin signals Amazon's serious intent to dominate the sector. Having spent 13 years at the e-commerce and cloud firm, Limp brings with him a wealth of experience in leading highly complex organizations and driving innovation with a customer-first mindset.
Blue Origin expressed confidence in Limp's abilities and emphasized his extensive background in the high-tech industry. Under the leadership of outgoing CEO Bob Smith, Blue Origin has achieved significant milestones, transforming from an R&D-focused company into a multifaceted space business that has amassed nearly $10 billion in customer orders and employs over 10,000 individuals. To ensure a seamless transition, Smith will remain with the company until January 2, allowing Limp to acclimate to his new role effectively.
While Smith possesses deep roots in aerospace, having previously worked at Honeywell International and contributed to the Space Shuttle program, Limp's expertise lies in overseeing Project Kuiper and driving Amazon's hardware business. Despite lacking an aerospace background, Limp's proven track record of success makes him an excellent choice to lead Blue Origin into its next phase of growth.
With Amazon's significant investments in Blue Origin and Project Kuiper, coupled with Limp's appointment as CEO, the stage is set for intensified competition between Amazon and SpaceX. As these space giants vie for supremacy, the industry eagerly awaits the impact of this new development and the subsequent innovations that will undoubtedly arise.
Amazon Partners with ULA, Arianespace, and Blue Origin for Kuiper Satellite Missions
It has been announced that Amazon has teamed up with ULA, Arianespace, and Blue Origin to facilitate the launch of its Kuiper satellites into space. ULA, which is a joint venture between Boeing (BA) and Lockheed Martin (LMT), and Arianespace, a joint venture between Airbus (AIR.France) and Safran (SAF.France), have both been contracted by Amazon for this purpose.
While the Kuiper satellites themselves have yet to be deployed into orbit, the ultimate objective is to rival SpaceX's Starlink service. SpaceX employs its own rockets to deliver Starlink satellites into space, with over 4,800 satellites already in orbit. Individuals can conveniently purchase consumer Starlink Wi-Fi hardware from Home Depot (HD).
SpaceX currently leads the pack with nearly 70 launches completed this year, constituting around half of all global space launch activity. To catch up with SpaceX's remarkable progress would demand significant financial resources, a challenge that Amazon appears ready to take on.
As of now, Amazon's stock is experiencing a decline of 3.2% amidst an overall downtrend in the market. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have also seen respective declines of 1% and 1.1%.

FlyNYON, the operator under two separate federal investigations for the March 2018 crash, offers dangerous doors-off flights to individuals and their pets who wish to dangle above New York City.
“These tourist helicopter flights are not just a nuisance for those dealing with the incessant noise on the ground, but, after a series of deadly crashes, they’re a potential death trap in the sky,” said. Sen. Menendez. “The FAA has an obligation to make sure tourist chopper flights are either operated safely or grounded. The idea that passengers and their pets are being strapped in and dangled out of open doors hundreds of feet above ground without strong safeguards in place is astonishing, downright cruel for the animals, and a tragedy waiting to happen.”
“It is outrageous that despite the death of five innocent people in a dangerous doors-off chopper flight and two active federal investigations into lapsed safety that FlyNYON is still operating doors-off flights at desperate discounts. But it is a sheer jaw-drop to know that the same company is now strapping in dogs for people to snap pictures of while the animals all but dangle high above New York skies, experiencing the sound of the rotors and who knows what other cruel things,” said Sen. Schumer. “Strapping in dogs for dangerous doors-off flights over New York is just totally repugnant.”
At today’s press conference, the senators outlined their letter to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in which they explain that FlyNYON derives its federal license to fly and operate by claiming to be an “aerial photography” helicopter company that caters to industry photographers, not amateur thrill-seekers. Flights characterized as “aerial photography work” follow fewer safety standards and allows dangerous doors-off flights to continue legally while the federal investigations ensue.
“As these doors-off helicopters flights are marketed and sold to consumers equipped with smartphones—and not professional photographers with specialized training—common sense suggests that they should be considered air tours for sightseeing under FAA regulations,” the senators wrote in the letter to FAA administrator Steve Dickson. “Allowing operators to falsely characterize flights as an “aerial photography work” to evade local flight rules raises serious safety concerns and is simply unacceptable. While the FAA has not made a final determination, it has stated there were indications that the exception did not apply to the March 11, 2018 flight.”
Representatives from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the National Humane Society joined the senators today in calling on FlyNYON to end their flights that allow dogs to hang thousands of feet high above New York.
According to reports, sightseeing and tourist flights are listed as the third leading category of fatal helicopter accidents. In 2016, the overall helicopter accident rate was 3.19 per 100,000 flight hours. In 2016, there were 106 helicopter accidents, including 17 that were fatal. Since August 2009, the NTSB has investigated 19 helicopter accidents in New York, not including the most recent East River crash.
Sen. Menendez has long pushed for greater helicopter safety in the metropolitan area, including calling for a complete ban on tourist helicopter flights over the Hudson River. Following the 2009 Hudson River tourist helicopter crash in Hoboken, N.J., that killed nine, Sen. Menendez worked with the FAA and local stakeholders to identify stricter helicopter and aircraft traffic safety standards, flight levels and hours of operation. In 2013, Sen. Menendez successfully pushed the FAA to restrict tourist helicopters operating out of Paulus Hook in Jersey City.
A copy of the letter can be found here and below.
Dear Administrator Dickson:
We write to request that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) initiate a rulemaking to enhance the safety of certain doors-off helicopter operations and close the regulatory loophole that allows operators to evade safety rules that restrict certain air tour flights over New York.
On March 11, 2018, a doors-off aerial photography flight operated by Liberty Helicopters on behalf of FlyNYON tragically crashed into the East River in New York City, killing five passengers on board. The crash raised serious concerns about the safety of certain doors-off helicopter flights for compensation or hire.
In response to this accident, the FAA issued an Emergency Order prohibiting the use of supplemental passenger restraint systems in doors-off flight operations if they cannot be released quickly in an emergency. The FAA also initiated a rulemaking to permanently ban these types of restraint systems. In addition, the National Transportation Safety Board initiated an investigation, and the Department of Transportation Inspector General began an audit of the FAA’s process for review, approval, and oversight of supplemental restraints.
While we applaud these actions, we remain concerned that certain helicopter operators continue to exploit a loophole in FAA regulations that may pose increased risks to passengers. While the operator of the March 11, 2018 flight was authorized to conduct operations under FAA’s less-stringent Part 91 regulations, it appears that the flight was conducted under an exception specified in FAA regulation §119.1(e)(4)(iii) for “aerial work operations – aerial photography or survey” to evade local New York City rules that restrict certain air tour flights. Under FAA regulations, however, the aerial photography exception does not apply if the primary purpose of a flight is sightseeing.
As these doors-off helicopters flights are marketed and sold to consumers equipped with smartphones—and not professional photographers with specialized training—common sense suggests that they should be considered air tours for sightseeing under FAA regulations. Allowing operators to falsely characterize flights as an “aerial photography work” to evade local flight rules raises serious safety concerns and is simply unacceptable. While the FAA has not made a final determination, it has stated there were indications that the exception did not apply to the March 11, 2018 flight.
Accordingly, we request that the FAA close this regulatory loophole and initiate a rulemaking to determine what additional rules may be needed beyond applicable aircraft operating and airworthiness requirements to enhance of the safety of doors-off helicopter flights for compensation or hire.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.

The international space station is placed in a Geostationary orbit - about 35000 miles away form the earth. In this kind of orbit, the satellite appears to be at rest relative to the earth's motion.
If the satellite is placed on the moon, it will not appear stationary with respect to the earth.
From the geostationary orbit, the international space station is able to view all points on the earth's surface at all times. On the other hand, if the satellite is placed on the moon, we will only get data according to the position of the moon.
The moon's face can be towards or away from the earth, so the satellite will not be able to send data at all times.
The temperature of the moon's surface changes drastically with day and night (on moon). Thus, the satellite will not be able to withstand the continuous change of temperature.
When the moon is facing towards the earth, the satellite will not be able to view the outer space. When the moon is facing away from the earth, the satellite will not be able to view the earth.
To send astronauts to the international space station is easier than to the moon, as the moon is at a very large distance from the earth when compared to it.
There's several reasons I can think of of why the space station is in orbit. They still conduct experiments in a 0 G environment which is not possible on the moon. The travel time to and from the moon takes much longer than traveling the short distance up into orbit and little fuel is required for the return trip. Returning from the moon would require carrying the extra amount of fuel required, especially if carrying a significant amount of weight.
The space station isn't in geosynchronous orbit. It flies overhead every few days and you can find the most recent tracking here:
Here's an page that will let you find out when the ISS will be visible from your location:
In many ways a moon base would be a better place to work. A well built moon base would be a permanent structure that could be extended ad infinitum. It would be a proper building with a feeling of 'up' and 'down' caused by the presence of the ground and the moon's (albeit weaker) gravity. Rocks and other minerals on the surface of the moon could be incorporated into the build for a more natural look. We could have a shirt sleeve living/working environment and eventually even keep animals and grow plants in the pressurized habitation units. The reason a simple moon base has not been started is cost. A space station in Earth orbit is many times less expensive to set up. One day, the cost to the whole of mankind of not setting up bases on other planetary bodies will outweigh the cost of doing so. Mankind's only chance of long term survival is as a multi-planet species....
NASA has plans on creating a base on the moon. However right now the economic situation is looking bleak. Which is bad, when science starts to falter so does society. The republicans keep hindering our space program. I think in 20 years or so we will finally start the moon base. If not we are going to revert back to the stone-age. Because a war is a coming....
The purpose of the space station itself tells you why it's not on the moon. It's for conducting experiments on space exploration, not experiments for moon colonization....
Loved your answer buddy
looking forward to see what others think about it. | aerospace |

The pilot said that there was a technical malfunction that prevented the plane from flying. That’s when someone on the plane said, ‘Marianna, the runway isn’t ready.’ They don’t even say it. It’s just them saying that when you’re not ready.”
A man named Scott told ABC7 this story about getting off a plane in Arizona that is바카라 supposed to be going back to Texas. The pilot had called him a minute earljarvees.comier to say that the plane had to land. He said Scott asked the pilot what was going on and the pilot said that the plane was going to land in Tucson.
As ABC7’s Ryan Devereaux reports, when Mariana walked out of the plane, she heard multiple people who had been sitting in the right wing say that the plane would never be ready to come back.
The pilot said that there was a technical failure that required them to change the flight plan. That’s what caused the problem.
In any case, the plane landed and immediately everyone said they were all back on the ground.
The pilot said he had asked Mariana to wait and called for back up and all of that happened pretty quickly because the local authorities were there in no time. The police, sjarvees.comheriff’s deputies and people from the airport were called and everyone was fine.
Mariana said that after that it took her about five minutes to find a taxi to San Antonio.
“I couldn’t believe they didn’t call us straight away.”
The woman said that the plane took off and then landed near the San Antonio Airport. The woman said that she asked the plane that if she was in distress, didn’t know who would help he | aerospace |

The design of modern rotor includes choice of blade number, airfoil, chord and twist distribution. Additional criteria are reliability, noise and aesthetic considerations. The blade design process is multi-objective and generally include two optimization functions, maximum annual energy production or minimum cost of energy.
According to the specific demands, our engineers together with our customers are working on preliminary design of new composite rotor blade. Close collaboration with our customers assures that all of our customer wishes are implemented in the new product.
To optimize minimum cost of energy requires a multi-disciplinary method that includes an aerodynamic model, structural model, along with cost models for the blades and all major wind turbine components.
To calculate and improve design characteristics of rotor blades, engineers and researchers of our company apply the most accurate approaches used in aviation industry.
For the small and medium sized wind turbine blades our company is specialized in custom designed solutions, believing that uncompromised energy capture is key element in today’s wind energy market.
All the blades that our company supplies to its clients are custom designed for specific wind turbines, this have considerably contributed to very high energy capture of these turbines and superior performances in low-medium wind speed range. Through this approach the overall efficiency of small and medium size wind turbines is in the range of modern, state of the art large machines.
Experience that we have from aerospace applications is the best foundation for ability to design and develop new high quality product. | aerospace |

A sputtering engine cracks the silence. The aromas of freshly mowed grass gently float up the nostrils, like summer’s perfume. Between two rows of hangars, the prop wash of a Stearman biplane transforms the turf beneath it into a plastered green blur. An Aeronca, surrendering its wings to the wind, leverages itself onto its main wheels as its tail rises above the ground from what is apparently a field-turned-runway, otherwise surrounded by clusters of trees. Waves of smoke from the annual August barbecue visibly triumph over the waves of sound which carry the period music’s message to the multitude of visitors: a tear in time has enabled aviation’s golden age to continue, and all who step through it can experience it. This “tear” is the Bayport Aerodrome Living Aviation Museum.
Its roots, literally, were planted more than a century ago, when James Isaac Davis, a house mover, acquired a 47-acre cornfield, among other area parcels. But its aviation role was not identified until his son, Curtis, saw the land through his own eyes. A World War II Civil Air Patrol pilot, he transformed it into a landing strip because of its close proximity, and thus convenience, to his Blue Point home.
Its conversion from farm field to airfield took place in the early-1940s with little more than brute strength: with the aid of sons Curtis J. and Ernie, along with “sophisticated” machinery in the form of a single, 1939 Chevrolet, tree stumps and other obstructing growth were removed, leaving a strip paved by Mother Nature’s more wheel-conducive grass, from which Curtis Sr. first took off in his Aeronca. The strip’s birth was consummated with the christening, of “Davis Field” on September 30, 1945.
Long Island has long been known as the cradle of aviation history, with many aeronautical firsts occurring here since the Wright Brothers first took to the air in 1903,” according to the Bayport Aerodrome Society’s website. “At one time, there were as many as 120 private and commercial airfields operating all over the island. One by one these airfields were shut down and lost as Long Island prospered, property values soared, and developers sought land to build new communities and industries throughout the 20th century. The Bayport Aerodrome has beaten the odds to survive as a throwback to those grass airfields of aviation’s golden age. It’s a story of how a colorful individual by the name of Curtis Davis, a former Civil Air Patrol pilot, hacked a rustic working airport out of the Long Island Pine Barrens in the years just after WWII that was miraculously saved from the developer’s axe 30 years later by an equally colorful community of passionate vintage aviation buffs led by John G. Rae who formed the Bayport Aerodrome Society. Their combined achievements led to the existence of one of Long Islands best kept aviation secrets.”
The first hangar, perhaps a testament to the new airfield’s longevity, was erected in 1947 later and was not removed until Hurricane Gloria wrenched it from its foundation in 1985. It was replaced by a second structure south of it.
Davis Field Flying School, established by Thomas F. Simmons, became its first tenant in 1948, and was quickly joined by a maintenance facility run by “Red” Robbins.
The field, originally only sprouting weeds, now also served as the foundation of aviation-related buildings. Three hangars rose from the center of it. A pilot’s lounge, flight operations center, and several flying schools occupied the small structure built in 1910, but relocated there in 1947.
Centerpiece of the airport was its only “tower”–a Coast Guard watch tower relocated from Fire Island, which waved its windsock to private pilots controlling Fairchild 24, Boeing PT-17 Stearman, and Vultee BT-13 aircraft like a greeting hand for three decades.
Another three-decade installation was Eveland Aircraft Services, established by Fred Evelan, an aircraft mechanic from rurally similar Zahns Airport in Amityville.
A piece of Long Island’s rich aviation heritage was transferred to the field in 1950 when Hangar 61, a large, wooden structure, was purchased from the now-closed Roosevelt Field and transported, section by section, over the rails to its south end. Subjected to decay, it relented to the destructive hands of Hurricane Bell 26 years later.
Ownership was passed to nurturing hands in 1953, when George Edwards, a flying school owner at Flushing Airport, purchased the land parcel, although it was transitionally known as “Davis/Edwards Field” until it adopted the official, and shortened, “Edwards” designation, whose raison d’être continued to be defined by its flying schools, aircraft maintenance shops, and private flying activity.
Mono- and biplanes, of both conventional and tailwheel configurations, continued to alight there, including Waco EGC-8s, Stinson SRJs. Waco UPF-7s, Fleet Model 2s and 16Bs, Ryan PT-22s, Fairchild PT-26 Cornells, Curtiss Fledgling N2Cs, and ERCO Ercoupes.
When George Edwards retired in the early-1970s, the field’s ownership forcibly changed, but not before its very existence was threatened.
Targeted by developers as a site for a 138-unit housing complex, the airfield was thrown a lifeline by John G. Rae, a retired general contractor and Bayport resident, in 1975, when he formed the Bayport Aerodrome Society, using local, state, and federal funds, coupled with support from the Antique Airplane Club of Greater New York, the Long Island Early Fliers, the local chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association, and Islip Town’s Commissioner of Aviation and Transportation, to acquire it.
Already the owner and operator of nearby Long Island MacArthur Airport, the Town of Islip, submitting the $21,562 final balance in 1978, purchased its second aviation property and subsequently drafted a master plan for it.
Because of their proximity to the new north/south runway, the airfield’s hangars and observation tower were removed; the Curtis J. Hangar was relocated to the west side; the south, I. W. Bianchi hangar replaced the Davis Field building ravaged by Hurricane Gloria; and the grass runway was refurbished.
Officially dedicated “Bayport Aerodrome” on July 13, 1980, the facility, three miles southeast of Long Island MacArthur, sports a single, 150-foot-wide by 2,740-foot-long grass/turf runway (18-36) and some 45 single-engine aircraft, averaging 28 daily movements, of which 98-percent are local. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 22, 2008, it proudly proclaims its grass field preservation role with a plaque, which reads: “Bayport Aerodrome. Only L. I. public airport w/ grass runways. National historic status 2008. Davis Field 1910-52. Then Edwards 1953-77. Islip Town 1978. Historic landmark preservation cite.”
Constructed on the northeast end of the field between 1984 and 1989, the Bayport Aerodrome Living Aviation Museum is a 24-hangar complex of privately-owned antique and experimental aircraft whose mission is to preserve and present early 20th-century aviation at a representative turf airfield, and its Bayport Aerodrome Society founder maintains a small museum, conducts complimentary tours between June and September, and facilitates flight experiences. It also hosts the annual Good Neighbor picnic, held on the first Sunday in August since 1994, and the Antique Airplane Club of Greater New York’s Fly-In.
The museum itself features a model aircraft collection, instrumentation, engines, and a replica of a Bleriot XI.
Displays focus on the first transatlantic flight with Navy-Curtiss NC-4 amphibian aircraft in 1919 and concurrent aerial navigation methods.
More than a half-dozen engines include a six-cylinder, inverted, direct-drive, inline, air-cooled Model 6-440C manufactured by the Fairchild Ranger Engine Company in Farmingdale; a liquid-cooled Allison V-1710 used by the Bell Air Cobra P-39; a six-cylinder, 250-hp de Havilland Gipsy Queen; a five-cylinder, 210-hp Kinner MOD-1354; an inverted V-12 Ranger Model SGV-770 employed by the Curtiss Seagull: and a nine-cylinder Wright J-5.
Another display showcases early instruments and radios.
The motley, but pristine aircraft collection is operational.
A Brooklyn-indigenous design, for instance, is represented by the Brunner-Winkle Bird, a three-seat taxi/barnstorming biplane produced between 1928 and 1931.
The Model A, its original production version, featured a welded steel tube truss fuselage with both metal and fabric skins, spruce and plywood wings, and a Curtiss OX-5 engine. It first took to the skies in September of 1928, and subsequent variants differed by powerplant, such as the Kinner K-5 of the Model B and the Wright J-5 of the Model C.
Charles Lindbergh taught his wife, Anne Morrow Lindbergh, to fly in the type.
The tailwheel Cessna 140 of 1946 was restored by two airline captains between 1992 and 1993 and gleams in the sun with its polished aluminum skins. Based at Bayport Aerodrome since 2002, it features a 100-hp Continental O-200a engine.
Powered by an inverted, four-cylinder, 142-hp Rolls Royce Gipsy Major 10mk 10-1-1 engine, the British Auster AOP-MK6, also hailing from the same year, was built in Rearsby, England, as a trainer for Royal Canadian Air Force pilots, but the aircraft was also used for military artillery spotting and general purpose liaison duties.
One of only three remaining in the world, and the only still-flying example, the 2,210-pound two-seater, with a 36-foot wingspan, cruises at 80 knots and touches down at half that speed.
The Reyerstahl D-3, another rare Bayport Aerodrome airplane, emanates from the Royal Design Bureau of the Grand Duchy of Vulgaria in 1933. Production, succeeding prototype development, was assigned to the Reyerstahl Factory in Bittersberg.
Powered by a modern, 115-hp Lycoming O-235 piston engine, the otherwise historically-accurate replica represents the last biplane fighter, equipped with a single,.30-caliber machine gun, to serve with the Royal Vulgarian Flying Corps. Surmounting the sky’s invisible steps at a sprightly, 1,500-fpm climb rate, the R-S D-3 had a 110-mph cruise speed and 250-mile range.
Golden Age designs are represented by Piper J-3 cubs and Aeronca IIAC Chiefs.
The former, powered by a 65-hp, four-cylinder Continental A65-8 piston engine, offered tandem seating and 710-pound empty and 1,220-pound maximum weights.
The latter, also hatched in 1946, shares the same powerplant and 1,250-pound maximum take off weight, attaining between 85- and 95-mph speeds. The equally-ubiquitous trainer, whose superiority over the Piper offering will always be debated, features a steel tube and tail, wooden spars, and aluminum wing ribs, and provides the student with the bottom basics: a manual pull starter and hand-propping technology.
Another primary trainer, intended for military pilots and designed in Canada, is represented by the Fleet 16D (Finch I), built by Fleet Aircraft Limited in 1940. The rugged, two-place, 2,000-pound biplane, with a 28-foot span, was powered by a five-cylinder, 160-hp Kinner B-5-2 engine and offered a 1,000-fpm climb rate, cruising at 95 mph and operating at a service ceiling of 15,200 feet. It was employed by the Royal Canadian Air Force until 1947.
Another classic aircraft represented at the Bayport Aerodrome, but originating even further afield, is the de Havilland Tiger Moth, itself based upon the earlier DH.60 Gipsy Moth.
Designed round a 350-pound engine, the DH.60 incorporated dual seats and controls, a three-hour flight duration, an 80-mph cruise speed, a low wing loading to foster short-field operations, docile handling characteristics, maintenance simplicity, and low acquisition costs. It was also to establish new grades of plywood, fabric, forgings, and castings.
Registered G-EBKT and first flying on February 22, 1925, it became the first in a series of light airplanes, sparking the de Havilland Company’s own explosive growth. It was followed by the DH.71 Tiger Moth, the first two of which, powered by Cirrus 2 engines, were manufactured in secrecy for the 1927 King’s Cup Race.
The DH.82 Tiger Moth arose from the Royal Air Force’s need for a primary trainer, but several modifications were stipulated, including the forward repositioning of the upper wing and fold-down doors on either side of the cockpit to facilitate in-flight pilot bailouts with standard parachute packs; upper- and lower-wing sweepback to maintain the center of lift; a strengthened structure; and a revised exhaust system.
First flying on October 26, 1931, the DH.82 featured differential aileron control-that is, the ailerons of the wing on the outside turn offered little deflection, while those of the wing on the inside of it traveled to a significantly greater angle in order to counteract adverse yaw.
The Royal Air Force placed an initial order for 35 aircraft, designated Tiger Moth Is, and followed this with 50 DH.82As (Tiger Moth IIs) powered by 130-hp Gipsy Major I engines. The DH.82C, a Canadian version powered by a 145-hp Gipsy Major IC, replaced the standard tailskid with a wheel and introduced an enclosed cockpit accessed by a sliding canopy to increase pilot protection from the country’s characteristically cold climate.
The type, serving as the training platform for most of the pilots who had fought in the Battle of Britain, saw service with the Royal Air Force, as well as with the Commonwealth countries of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and enjoyed a production run of some 7,000 during World War II alone.
The docile biplane stalled at 40 mph and climbed at 58.
From even further afield is the Russian Yakovlev Yak-18, appearing strangely out-of-place at the local Long Island grass field, but representing one of its greatest treasures.
Like the Tiger Moth, the Yak-18 “Max,” an expression of fighter aircraft designer Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev, was also slated for training purposes. Intended as a UT-2 replacement, the low-wing, single-seat aircraft, powered by a five-cylinder, 160-hp Shvetsov M-11FR radial piston, served as its prototype. It was less than successful.
The succeeding, dual-seat Yak-18A production version, with a metal frame, fabric skins, a 27.5-foot overall length, and 34-foot, 9.5-inch wingspan, introduced the more powerful, 260-hp, nine-cylinder Ivchenko AI-14R engine aerodynamically covered with an NACA cowling. First flying in 1957, it offered a 2,900-pound maximum gross weight and was able to attain 163-mh speeds and 16,600-foot service ceilings. It had a 440-mile range.
Equipped with bomb racks, it was instrumental in Korea, where it destroyed a 5.5-million gallon fuel dump near Inchon, and also served as the training platform for Yuri Gagarin, the world’s first person to enter space.
The Yak-18U and later versions introduced tricycle undercarriages.
Instrumental in the grass field’s existence and continued purpose is the Bayport Aerodrome Society. Formed in 1972, it “is composed of aviation professionals, recreational pilots, and people interested in preserving aviation history.” One of its major, public-invited events is its now-annual Celebration of Vintage Transportation, which features “vintage motorcycles, automobiles, and airplanes,” along with live music, a barbecue, and biplane rides.
Bayport Aerodrome certainly offers the visitor a return to Long Island’s grass field roots-literally. | aerospace |

I am looking into getting into the industry. My question is do you suggest getting a university degree these days on top of everything else? My mom works for Air Canada so she knows many pilots and many have told me that having a university degree makes you a lot likelier of landing a job with a major airline.
Getting a university degree en route to becoming a pilot is a tough decision. I don't think that there's an overwhelming right or wrong answer and what will work best for a person depends on a number of factors.
Major Airlines, specifically Air Canada, use a 'points' system when determining who they will interview. Points will be awarded based on education, flying experience (both hours flown and type of aircraft those hours were acquired on), language proficiency, work experience, leadership qualities etc. I do not know how many points get awarded for each category.
About 8 years ago now when I was just finishing my training, I was able to meet the pilot hiring coordinator for Air Canada. When I asked if she had any tips, her response was "get a degree." What I have heard however, is that a university degree is granted the same number of points as a diploma from a recognized Aviation College such as Confederation, Sault College or Mount Royal. This is not confirmed though.
Even for Air Canada, having a degree will not automatically get you a job at an airline. It is also imperative to have a lot of flight experience. Depending on about a million different factors, when you're done your training, it will generally be 5 to 10 years before you have the experience to be hired by Air Canada. Even though their stated minimum hour requirements are 1000 hours, most successful candidates have at least 2000 hours, with most having more.
Having a degree will also not really help you in getting your first flying job. Operators that hire low time pilots generally don't care if you have a college diploma or a degree, rather, they want to see that you have a good attitude and can work hard. Having some work experience, being in the right place at the right time and making good connections will all help in finding the first flying job.
I am a proponent of getting a degree. I think that having a degree (or two) will open a lot of doors in life when combined with experience. It not only opens up options outside of aviation if you lose your medical or get laid off, it allows you to possibly move into management roles within an airline later on. I also think that taking some time to go to school and enjoy the 'university experience' is a benefit to every one. It gives people a couple years to grow up and learn responsibility. Obviously, not everyone needs this though. Though I personally have really enjoyed my university experience.
On the other hand, there are people who don't really think it is worth getting a degree if you want to be a pilot. Their point of view makes sense and I do believe that getting a degree isn't right for everyone.
Getting a degree, whether it is in conjunction with your flight training at schools such as University of Western Ontario, Waterloo, Seneca College or University College of the Fraser Valley or separately, usually takes 4 years and can be quite expensive. During this time, you generally don't do much flying. If however, you did you flight training independently through a local flight school or through a shorter, 2 year college program, you would be finished your training a lot quicker and out flying sooner. Once flying, most pilots building experience can get anywhere between 500 and 1000 hours a year and be earning money at the same time. Most airlines hire pilots with between 2000 and 4000 hours of experience and the quicker you're out flying, the sooner you'll have that experience.
Of the pilots that I know that are working at Air Canada, some have degrees and some do not. I know pilots who have been hired on at Air Canada Jazz both with and without a degree or Aviation College Diploma. I know pilots working for WestJet, some of whom have a degree and some don't. I know a pilot with an Economics Degree, lots of turbo-prop and jet Captain experience who was turned down by Air Canada but is working at WestJet. I also know a pilot who has two degrees that was turned down by Jazz.
So, as you can tell by the somewhat rambling response, there is no right or wrong answer.
Things to consider:
- Are you the type of person that likes education?
- What is your financial situation like?
- Are you ready to jump into the work force, or will a couple of years at university or college be good for you?
- What are the options of flight schools, colleges or Universities near where you live?
The main thing to know though is that getting a degree from a particular school will not guarantee you a job at an airline or let you skip the generally low paying, not glamorous first few years of flying. | aerospace |

That golden era of air travel photo of the bombardier global pilot pilot-high pay, terrific benefits, totally free traveling, public respect-has somewhat faded in time, as well as many in the aviation market are worried that there will not be enough pilots to fulfill future needs.
Over the previous several years, some numbers as well as data have actually been launched showing that a so-called pilot shortage is certainly occurring. Is there truly a pilot shortage? And also if so, what does it indicate to the market?
A Take a look at Some Numbers
According to the Federal Air travel Administration’s united state Civil Airmen Data, the FAA released a little over 55,000 student pilot certificates in 2011. That’s up over 100 from in 2014, yet still disappoints the practically 67,000 trainee licenses in 2001. In 2011, the FAA issued just over 8,500 industrial pilot certifications, down from a high of 12,299 in 2002.
Boeing just recently released its “2012 Pilot and Specialist Expectation,” an industry best overview for precise forecasts of future air website traffic quantities as well as need. Boeing projects a demand for around one million new commercial airline pilots and also maintenance service technicians by 2031, including 460,000 new airline pilots and 601,000 maintenance professionals.
In their “pilot outlook,” Boeing mentioned that a pilot scarcity has already occurred in numerous regions of the globe. Airlines around the world are broadening their fleets and trip schedules to fulfill expanding demand in emerging markets, and also Asia particularly is experiencing hold-ups and operational disruptions due to pilot organizing restrictions.
Regulative Factors for the Decrease?
If the number of new pilots is decreasing, while the requirement for them is increasing, what has caused the disparity? Some regulatory changes could be responsible.
The increase of regionals. The beginning can be mapped back to 1978 when the Airline Deregulation Act ended up being federal law, getting rid of government-subsidized planes tickets as well as permitting free-market competitors to drive down ticket costs.
Lower prices and competitors among major providers implied that airline unions shed several of their bargaining power. Reduced earnings drove some majors to drop point-to-point routes for hub-based directing.
Regional airlines became a lot more popular, but they hired less-experienced pilots for much less than their coworkers at the significant providers. Today, an initial police officer at a regional airline starts making around $25,000 a year – not exactly a competitive income.
Retirement age prolonged. In December 2007, the FAA issued a statement extending the compulsory retirement age for business pilots from 60 to 65 years old. When the new guideline went into effect, there took place to be a wave of pilots preparing to retire, which can have incapacitated the sector with pilot lacks. The expansion postponed several pilot retired lives for five years to December 2011, and also some believe all those pilots who started retiring in the direction of the end of 2011 developed a rise popular for brand-new pilots.
Relax demands increased. Around that very same time in late December 2011, the U.S. Division of Transport and also the FAA announced a brand-new industrial pilot tiredness rest need. The new rule needs that every pilot rest at least 10-hours before a flight task period – a two-hour boost over the old rules. The new guideline also requires that a pilot has to rest undisturbed for 8 hrs within the 10-hour pause. The brand-new regulations in turn required most of the majors to hire countless new pilots to stick to the brand-new rest demands, resulting in considerable brand-new hiring throughout the board.
Increase in flight hrs. Another new FAA guideline revealed in February 2012 will certainly call for flight captains to have an extra 1,000 hrs of flight time above the 1,500 to obtain airline company transport pilot (ATP) qualification. Both captains as well as first police officers will certainly need to take on additional training to obtain the ATP, consisting of 50 hours of multi-engine flight experience. The guideline was established in response to the 2009 Colgan Air collision in Buffalo, N.Y. as well as will take effect in August 2013. The increased training hrs will add substantial time as well as cost to new pilots attempting to finish.
Various Other Feasible Elements Fueling a Scarcity
Expense of flight institution. Over the years, funding a pilot education and learning has become more pricey and harder to get a funding for. Flight college for commercial airline pilot training can cost as high as $80,000 – usually in addition to already-existing college levels. The armed force’s G.I. Expense no more spends for stand-alone flight training, and federal financier Sallie Mae now only provides tuition lendings for sure trip schools as a result of high post-9/ 11 default prices.
Changes in the armed force. Extra pilots are deciding to remain in the military rather than fly in the private sector. This has reduced the supply pool of military-trained pilots being employed by airlines. Likewise, the variety of pilots in the military has considerably decreased, in part because of the increased use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). | aerospace |

The care and detail paid to air travel has resulted in a remarkable level of safety for today’s air travelers. However, the very nature of air travel means that the even slightest failure can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Accidents can happen from the largest passenger jet planes to single-engine and ultralight aircraft.
There are many factors that go into a successful flight. This means that checklists need to be followed properly, flight plans must be carefully calculated, the plane needs to be maintained carefully, and the pilots must be in good condition to fly. If anything is wrong in any of these areas, there can be serious consequences.
Mechanical defects, failure to maintain equipment, pilot error and improper preflight procedures are all issues that can lead to crashes. If you have been the victim of a plane accident or you have lost a loved one, speak to your Minnesota plane accident lawyer about your rights in the matter, and it can be decided whether or not you have a claim.
In the case of large airliners, crashes typically end in death. The planes have an average cruising height of 30,000-40,000 feet above the ground and carry more than 50,000 gallons of fuel. There is little room for error. If the plane hits the ground, there are times that there are survivors, but the injuries are usually quite severe.
Some accidents are simply unavoidable. Bird strikes and severe weather can bring down an otherwise perfectly flown and well-maintained aircraft. Airliner crashes can also be caused by equipment malfunction, defective airplane parts, pilot error and improper runway maintenance. If it is found that the pilot was intoxicated or on some kind of improper medication while operating a plane, the pilot made an incorrect maneuver, or that the plane was allowed to fly without undergoing proper maintenance, responsible parties can be held accountable through a lawsuit.
Small Plane Crashes
In the case of small airplane crashes, the circumstances around the crash can be different from those involved in a large airline crash. Although the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will conduct a thorough investigation of major airline accidents, their investigation in to small plane accidents is not as complete. A thorough private investigation may be required to find out what really happened.
Small planes may be owned and maintained by individual hobbyists or rented from small airport businesses. If the plane is rented, then the company that rents out the plane must maintain it to exacting standards. If the owner of the plane fails to maintain it properly and this leads to a crash, that individual or business will be legally responsible for any damages that occur.
The ramifications of a small plane crash can be just as serious as the largest commercial accident. Nonprofessional pilots typically do not have the same number of flight hours and experience as professional pilots. When a person flies their own plane and they have passengers on board at the time of the crash, the passengers can file a claim against the owner and/or pilot for any errors that they made.
Plane owners or their next of kin can file lawsuits against manufacturers if it is found that a component within their plane was defective and caused a crash. Any of these causes are grounds for contacting a Minneapolis plane accident attorney to see what your options are.
Contact A Minnesota Plane Accident Attorney
The owners, manufacturers, and operators of planes have a responsibility to protect those of us that use their planes whether as a pilot or a passenger. When a plane accident is the result of someone else’s negligence they need to be held responsible.

About it reports “Interfax” citing a source in air traffic control services.
“The aircraft, according to preliminary data, crashed at repeated landing approach. On Board could be more than 100 passengers. After the crash there was a strong fire. Information there are no survivors,” — said the source Agency.
Later in the southern regional center of EMERCOM of Russia reported that on Board the plane, apparently, was 55.
The cause of the crash could be adverse weather conditions. “Due to difficult weather conditions — low visibility — the plane was unable to land the first time and went on the second circle, and then crashed when re-landing in the zone of the airfield,” said one of the sources of the Agency.
Passenger Boeing-737 followed the route Dubai — Rostov-on-don. Liner owned by Fly Dubai.
In connection with the plane crash Rostov airport closed until 06:00 GMT. | aerospace |

He joined the RAF in 1943, aged just 19, opting to train as a wireless operator and air gunner.
After passing a 6-month training course in Wiltshire and being recruited to a squadron consisting of men from all around the world, he flew as a wireless operator on over 30 operations. Although during training he experienced flying in several different planes including the Halifax and the Wellington, he flew in a Lancaster bomber for the majority of his time in the RAF, working as a team with the pilot, the two air gunners, and the engineer which made up each squadron.
As part of a bomber crew, Dennis flew across Europe targeting key German facilities such as munitions factories, industrial centres and communications points.
He completed 36 operations in all, and afterwards worked in a training camp with less experienced RAF crews. | aerospace |

Chandrayan-2 was launched Monday at 14:43 local time (09:13 GMT) from the Sriharikota space station.
India’s space chief said his Agency “came back to normal” after a failed first attempt.
India hopes that the mission for 145 million dollars (116 million pounds) will be the first to land on the South pole of the moon.
The spacecraft entered earth orbit, where it will stay for 23 days before starting a series of maneuvers that will put it into lunar orbit.
The excerpt was broadcast live on television and on the official social networks of the space Agency.
A few minutes after the launch, applause began at the Indian space research organization (Isro) control room as the rocket took off into the outer atmosphere.
For the first time in the history of Indian space, the interplanetary expedition is led by two women – Mutaya Vanita, project Director, and Rita Karidal, mission Director.
This is the most difficult mission ever undertaken by the space Agency of India.
“This is the beginning of a historic journey of India to the moon”, – said the head of the Isro K. Sivan in his speech after the launch.
He thanked and congratulated almost 1,000 scientists, engineers and other staff who worked on the mission: “I am obliged to welcome all the people who have done the work.”
Prime Minister Narendra modi praised the mission for being “completely indigenous”.
According to ISRO, the countdown on July 15 was stopped 56 minutes before the launch after “a technical error in the launch vehicle system was discovered.” Indian media reported that the leak from a balloon with helium gas in the cryogenic engine of the rocket is to blame.
The fuel from the rocket was drained, and the scientists solved the problem.
“It was easy to fix, but it was a serious problem that could lead to a complete failure,” a source at Isro said. | aerospace |

It certainly was a fascinating program that has delivered quite a few highlights. However, it was not entirely successful.
Do you remember the praise that was given to the new concept of the shuttles 30 years ago? Here are a few things I remember:
- The shuttles are cheaper, because they (and the booster rockets) are reusable
- They are safe, because they partially work like an airplane
- There will be weekly launches to space, because it’s quick to get the vehicles ready for the next flight
Reality was much different: 2 out of 5 orbiters were lost, killing their crew; a single launch weighed in on average with half a billion dollars; and it took more than one year to prepare a vehicle for launch.
How could that happen?
At a first glance, the concept of the shuttles sounds pretty straight and quite suitable to achieve the original goals. What turned out later, however, was that details of the implementation weren’t that simple at all and finally made the Space Shuttle to probably the most complex machine men have ever built. Just a few examples:
- During countdown, Launch Control at Kennedy Space Center monitored 22000 parameters to decide if a shuttle is ready to go or not. It is no surprise that often they found something and delayed the launch.
- The heat shield of the orbiters with its thousands of tiles was a weak (and expensive) point from the beginning. The Columbia accident further revealed a fundamental design flaw that eventually could not be fixed. After the issue was known, it just became even more expensive trying to prevent further accidents.
- Even the Solid Rocket Boosters, apart from the main tank the apparently simplest part of the shuttles, caused the loss of Challenger.
Now compare this to the Russian space program. The Soyuz rockets only slightly changed since the 1960s. There have been more than 850 launches, fatal accidents are rare (also due to a rescue system). Like for the shuttles, the time for a launch is defined months in advance – but did you ever hear of a delay?
The Russian space program almost works like Swiss clockwork.
So what can we learn for software projects?
The Russian spaceships are a typical 80% solution. They are cheap and reliable, but they are not reusable and they can transport only either crew or cargo. The Soyuz rockets are not overly sophisticated, but they do the job.
The US Space Shuttles tried to get close to a 100% solution, combining different kinds of goals. The attempt to create something perfect finally led to a complex beast, which was difficult and expensive to control.
I once attended a talk of Charles Simonyi, one of the co-founders of Microsoft and the only space tourist who was up there twice.
He said, the more he was trained for the Russian spaceship, and the more he understood how it worked, the more secure he felt. It is so incredibly simple, it just has to work.
We should be able to say that about our software systems as well. | aerospace |

As a private person, you have for some time the opportunity to track every flight in the air. All you need is an internet connection and a flight tracking provider. That’s it!
Flight Tracker Manual:
1st Option: Enter Location or Airport
After clicking on the magnifying glass in the top right corner of the radar, you can start typing.
Here you decide now which way you use to pursue the desired flight. Because you can now either enter a city or another city, such as London, Dusseldorf, or New York.
If airports are present in this city, then under the input field every existing airport in this city with the heading “Airports” appears.
Once you have selected the desired airport, you will see a list of departures and arrivals.
In this list view, you can manually select a flight that you want to track, or directly filter out a specific flight in the search bar above.
If you have found the desired aircraft in the list and clicked it, it will be displayed directly on the flight radar.
If you hover over a displayed aircraft in the flight radar and confirm with a left-click, you will see important data such as the flight number, type, speed, and altitude.
Incidentally, if you have selected the aircraft with a left-click, you can scroll down to the left in the overview to get all the important flight information.
This includes a photo of the aircraft (if available), the starting point and the planned landing point, the name and manufacturer of the aircraft with all related data, and, of course, which airline this aircraft carries.
2nd Option: Enter a Valid Flight Number
If you want to track a particular aircraft in the flight radar because possibly friends or acquaintances travel with it, then you can enter in the flight radar top right after clicking the symbol of the magnifying glass a valid flight number and already the airplane will be listed. If you select the aircraft, the aircraft will be displayed and tracked directly on the radar. In addition, you will receive all available information, which is also displayed on the flight radar.
Move and Zoom In on the Flight Radar:
In the window of the flight radar, you can zoom in and out. Hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard and use the mouse wheel to scroll.
Icons and Settings
Airports With a Circle on the Map:
Some major and major airports are shown in the flight radar on the map with a circle or airplane symbol. If there is this possibility, then you can see in the overview how many aircraft are currently incoming or outgoing.
Why Should You Watch Flights Over the Flight Radar?
Not without reason are you looking for a flight radar! Because your friends and relatives travel by airplane, you can watch it now!
Not to think how difficult it is to be in uncertainty when a flight is delayed and you are the taxi driver! That’s why you can be there live on Flugradar24 and know from now on when the desired aircraft actually lands in the airport. Use the flight radar to chase each flight more relaxed.
No more stress as a “waiting family member”. With the flight radar on Flight-Tracker24.co.uk, you are definitely live! | aerospace |

August 31, 1986: Aeroméxico Flight 498 is descending into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for landing. Meanwhile, a private Piper Cherokee owned by the Kramer family takes-off from an airfield in nearby Torrance. They unwittingly enter LAX airspace but the air traffic controller doesn\'t notice it due to a distraction by a Grumman Tiger Flight 66R on the screen. Suddenly over the residential district of Cerritos, the Kramers\' plane smashes into Flight 498\'s horizontal stabilizer, shearing off the top of the cockpit of the private plane and snapping half of the tail off from Flight 498. The Kramers die as a result of the impact. The badly damaged DC-9 flips inverted and plummets into the houses below. Everyone on board dies plus 15 people on the ground. The private plane falls out of the sky and crashes into a school playground.
Alternate title: \"6 Mile Plunge\" February 19, 1985: China Airlines Flight 006 collides with a jet stream while flying to Los Angeles. The no. 4 engine fails and the pilots try to restart the engine at a much too high altitude. The plane banks slowly to the right but the pilot expects the autopilot to steady the plane. The plane slows down and stalls, sending the passengers and crew into a spiraling nosedive. The sudden actions put everyone under incredible G-forces. The Flight Engineer mistakes readings on the gauges for total engine failures on all engines rather than the Captain putting the throttle to idle. The speed increases and the plane pulls out of the dive but stalls again and falls. The extreme forces rip the undercarriage doors off and pieces of the stabilizers rip off as well. The Boeing 747SP clears the clouds and the pilot sees the horizon. The plane is pulled from the dive, pinning the passengers to their seats. The pilot lands safely at San Francisco despite having trouble with the elevators. 2 people are hurt, but everyone is alive. | aerospace |

EUGENE, Ore. – It’s time to turn your heads to the sky. A relatively large asteroid will fly past Earth on April 19.
Don’t worry, there is no possibility of the asteroid colliding with our planet. It will be about 1.1 million miles away.
The asteroid, known as 2014 JO25, was discovered about three years ago by astronomers at the Catalina Sky Survey near Tuscon, Arizona. Astronomers estimate the asteroid is roughly 2,000 feet in size. They say its surface is about twice as reflective as the moon’s surface.
Scientists at the Oregon Museum of Science and Technology say the asteroid will approach Earth from the direction of the sun. It will become visible in the night sky after April 19.
They say you will be able to see it with small telescopes for one or two nights before it fades in the distance.
“Small asteroids pass within this distance of Earth several times each week, but this upcoming close approach is the closest by any known asteroid of this size, or larger, since asteroid Toutatis, a 3.1-mile (five-kilometer) asteroid, which approached within about four lunar distances in September 2004,” OMSI said in a press release.
The upcoming encounter is the closest this asteroid has come to Earth for at least the last 400 years. | aerospace |

By Ryan Melanson,
After nearly three years of training, testing and evaluation, the Royal Canadian Air Force is set for the first overseas deployment of Canada’s new state-of-the-art maritime helicopter, the CH-148 Cyclone.
The Cyclone and its accompanying Helicopter Air Detachment (HELAIRDET), based out of 423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron at 12 Wing Shearwater, will be embarking HMCS Ville de Quebec on Operation REASSURANCE, departing Halifax on July 18 to join NATO allies in Central and Eastern Europe.
While the equipment may be new, the cooperation between the RCAF and the Royal Canadian Navy is anything but, and the first Cyclone HELAIRDET will be building on a long history of maritime helicopter operations, joining the ship’s company to become one seamless team for roughly six months.
“That partnership has existed for many decades with the Sea King, and this is the start of us continuing that with the Cyclone, which we’re very excited about,” said Col Sid Connor, Wing Commander, 12 Wing Shearwater.
“This is a culmination of several years of testing and evaluation. We had to take a look at our procedures, to make sure we had that right, we had to get the flight time experience, and we had to train crews to be ready for real-life operations.”
Ahead of this first operational deployment, the RCAF invited media to 12 Wing on July 13 for a briefing on the Cyclone and Operation REASSURANCE from the Wing Commander. A few lucky reporters were also taken on a flight around Halifax harbour to experience the new platform in action and learn about the Cyclone’s enhanced capabilities compared to the CH-124 Sea King fleet.
These advancements include faster flight for longer periods of time and with more stability, along with automated fly-by-wire systems that are a first in the world of military helicopters, and new sensors and communication suites that offer significant improvements over previous technology. Certain tasks, calculations and data collection that were previously done manually can now be automated, allowing crews to fly easier while gathering higher quality information to pass down to a ship.
“This means that when we fly, we’re able to give the ship’s captain a view over the horizon, either above or below the water, at much greater ranges than we could previously.It’s really expanding the eyes and ears of the ship while we’re at sea,” Col Connor added.
Of the 28 helicopters set to be delivered to the RCAF by 2021, 15 have been received, with 13 fully operational Cyclones currently housed at 12 Wing, and two others away receiving upgrades from manufacturer Sikorsky. A portion of the fleet will eventually be sent to 443 Squadron in Esquimalt to support Pacific Fleet operations. Total program costs will be $3.2 billion, including the 28 helicopters and in-service support for the first 20 years of operations.
Personnel at 12 Wing’s Helicopter Operational Test and Evaluation Facility (HOTEF) and 406 Maritime Operational Training Squadron have been working with the Cyclone since 2015, adjusting training and procedures to the new platform and working out early kinks and modifications. This includes many hours of training with frigates of the RCN, including storm-chasing with HMCS Montreal to determine limits of operations in heavy sea states. The Op REASSURANCE deployment marks a major next step, however, and the air crew and technicians who embark Ville de Quebec will be breaking new ground for the RCAF and for maritime aviation in Canada.
“This is just the beginning of a buildup of capability. We’ll have one detachment out the door with a ship on July 18, and we’ve already begun preparing two more detachments to leave, one from each coast, in January 2019,” Col Connor said.
“It’s an exciting time at 12 Wing. I’ve been calling 2018 the Year of the Cyclone, as we ended our Sea King operations earlier this year, and I think all of us at the wing are feeling lucky to be a part of it.” | aerospace |

Skyfaring lives up to the expectations, only maybe it never peaks, I mean the narrative remains relatively flat, which was to be expected I believe. You rarely have a parabolic flight in commercial aviation, it happened to me only once actually, when we were very late on our leg from Bologna to Frankfurt and most of the passenger had connecting long-haul flights. What you normally do is you climb up, you keep at around 35 thousand feet for a while, then you approach and you land, don’t you.
Anyway, it’s been a lot of fun reading this book which contains not only tons of aviation trivia, but also an amazing account of what it feels like to be flying commercial, both as a pilot and as a passenger. This was very reassuring to me because there are a lot of personal things about commercial flying that I cannot discuss with anybody because my father is a pilot but he has never flown commercial (only air force or recreational) and never long-haul, while most of the other people I know either don’t fly often or they only talk about cabin luggage, makeup (makeup, really?!), compression socks (reasonable but not very interesting), or they are worried about the plane crashing. So it’s nice to know that someone else is looking at the stars. Or the advection fog. Or sand, or waves. | aerospace |

With input from a teen space camp graduate, this Space Camp Huntsville guide gives you the inside scoop on what Space Camp kids can expect from some of the most innovative programs for budding aeronautical enthusiasts.
About Space Camp Huntsville AL
Since 1982, Space Camp has been offering state-of-the-art learning opportunities for students who want to develop their skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Where is Space Camp in Alabama?
Nicknamed Rocket City, Huntsville Alabama has both the largest space museum in the USA as well as one of the largest facilities for NASA, the American governmental entity responsible for aeronautics and space research. The Huntsville NASA facilities are responsible for various things like the International Space Station and crew training.
My son stayed for 2 sessions in 2019 which gave me enough time to do an Alabama road trip and also visit other cool places in North Alabama like Helen Keller’s childhood home near Florence Alabama and the Lost Luggage Center in Scottsboro Alabama.
Located in Northeastern Alabama, Huntsville is super convenient from other states as well. For example, the nearest international flights go into Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville Tennessee, both well served by many carriers. Huntsville itself has an airport for domestic travel but is also easily located off major American interstates.
Space Camp Kids Ages
Programs suited for ages 9 to 18 have been developed to help students apply STEM skills to real-world scenarios. There is Space Camp itself, but also Aviation Challenge, Robotics Camp and Cyber Camp for kids who have more focussed interests in the field.
How Long is Space Camp?
Thousands of kids from all around the world take part in the 1 week programs. Kids get dropped off on the Sunday and stay for 6 days/5 nights.
Graduation is on the last day. In 2019, parents were physically present for the graduation ceremony which occurred right before pick-up. In 2021, however, the graduation ceremony was virtual on the last night and pick-up was the next day.
Lots of kids choose to do weeks in succession, for example both Space Camp and Aviation Challenge over a two week period.
The popularity of the programs are underscored by the number of kids who return year after year and make life-long friendships with fellow campers.
Where Do Space Camp Kids Stay?
Space, Robotics and Cyber Campers stay at Habitats 1 and 2 close to the NASA Space and Rocket Center. Aviation campers are based nearby at Habitat 3, a short distance from the center.
Campers are in bunk rooms with bunk beds. The number of campers per room depends on the room size. Girls and boys are in separate wings of the Habitats.
What Do Space Camp Kids Eat?
Every day the campers enjoy lunch and dinner from a different country that is part of the International Space Station, for example, Italian, Japanese and British.
If your camper finds the food too exotic, there is always an American selection of burgers or fried chicken available. Breakfast tends to be the usual fare such as pancakes or waffles and fried chicken with gravy (after all, you are in the South!).
Children with special food requirements are catered to specifically.
Space Camp Huntsville Alabama Cost
Depending on the program, the Space Camp Huntsville Alabama cost can run between $1300-$1500 per week.
Some of the Space Camp and Aviation Challenge kids buy crew uniform kids (available to buy beforehand or while you are there). We, however, chose not to add this unnecessary expense. There are, however, lots of cool tee-shirts and other gear to buy at the NASA space museum store.
Our Experience at Space Camp Huntsville AL
My son has done Space Camp and Aviation Challenge Mach 2 in 2019. Although we signed up for 2020, Space Camp was not held in 2020 because of the world pandemic.
He returned in 2021 for Aviation Challenge Mach 3. He wanted to do Robotics Camp but that was not offered in 2021 because of ongoing pandemic issues. He plans on returning for Aviation Challenge Mach 3 again in 2022 because he is not eligible for Mach 3 Elite until 2023.
My son has LOVED space camp and aviation challenge. In fact, in 2019, after his 2 week session, he announced that he had ‘found his people’.
He has made friends from all over the USA and he keeps in touch with them via social media. His Aviation Challenge group from 2021 plan on coordinating their return week in 2022 for Aviation Challenge Mach 3. He also wants to do Advanced Space Academy.
Space Camp USA
The weeklong program sees students take part in astronaut training adapted straight from NASA’s own astronaut program. They will also learn about the vast array of aerospace career opportunities and take part in simulated spaceflight missions.
Space Camp is divided into three groups by age: Space Camp, Space Academy, Advanced Space Academy and Advanced Space Academy Elite.
Space Camp Huntsville AL Activities
There are tons of activities that the students look forward to, some of the most popular being the 1/6th Gravity Chair, the Five Degrees of Freedom Simulator, and the Multi-Axis Trainer. Kids don’t only learn about being an astronaut, but they also construct and launch their own model rockets like real engineers.
They learn about new rocket technology and get a look into life on the International Space Station. Students also get creative by envisioning a futuristic Martian colony. Their competitive sides and team-building skills will also be sharpened through challenge nights that run all week.
To top it all off, a simulated mission to the International Space Station brings together everything that was learned throughout the week.
Each camper gets specific roles during this missions. For example, my son was a Head of Mission Control on a simulated mission to Mars and a lab researcher on a simulated Space Shuttle Mission.
Space Camp Aviation Challenge
Space Camp also offers an innovative program for aviation enthusiasts. The Aviation Challenge Space Camp places a focus on skills and knowledge related to aviation in a military-training setting.
There are 4 levels for Aviation Camp divided by age group.
Aviation Challenge Mach 1
This program is suited for students aged 9 to 11 and provides an introduction to the world of aviation. Flight simulators will test campers’ basic knowledge of the field and give them the best possible introduction to flying.
Students step into the boots of a fighter pilot and have to navigate through scenario-based missions and operate control systems. Imperative skills like water and land-survival also form part of this beginner’s course.
Aviation Challenge Mach 2
The next grouping is for students who are in the 12 to 14 age bracket.
Campers put their knowledge to the test with exciting hands-on activities. Students will make use of advanced flight simulators to get air combat maneuvering training. They will also do water-based activities like rafting and a dunker tank to simulate a helicopter crash.
This training will prepare them for adrenaline-fueled mission scenarios. Another critical skill that is introduced is search-and-rescue to locate pilots that might have gone down in flight.
The topics of aeronautics, propulsion, and aviation history are also covered, and that knowledge is applied in the high-tech UAV drone simulator.
Aviation Challenge Mach 3
Aviation Challenge Mach 3 is for students aged 15 to 18. Each team is made up of 12 campers who work together. In my son’s 2021 Aviation Challenge week, there were 3 teams in total.
Campers take control and maneuver through advanced simulations on all three rotational axes of flight. They take command and their leadership abilities are put to the test, all while applying intricate engineering principles.
Trainees also look forward to advanced field training with hikes twice a week. The nighttime Field Training Exercise is the ultimate test of survival skills and teamwork abilities.
Things get physical with the high and low ropes course and 150-foot zipline that will have students overcoming their fears.
An immersive F-18 cockpit simulator is the closest thing to the real deal the students can get and it offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the young adrenaline junkies.
Over the course of six days, students will have to plan and carry out three missions – a basic mission, a weapons mission and then an advanced mission. At the end, there is a Top Gun mission. An Unmanned Aerial simulator offers students the chance to deliver real-time data to a common center in the midst of their own planned missions.
The title of Top Gun is also up for grabs as trainees go head-to-head in a bracket-style competition fit for Maverick! Other awards include Flag Award (the best for teamwork and activity points combined) and Admirals’ Cup (the best team attitude and knowledge).
Aviation Challenge Mach 3 Elite
Mach 3 Elite is an invitation-only program for students who have completed Mach 3. Open to 17 and 18 year olds, Mach 3 Elite is a super popular program. Candidates need to respond quickly because spots fill up fast. Yes, my son is totally intent on doing Mach 3 Elite.

Indian Space Research Organization chief S Somanath said the experiment involved launching a module into space and bringing it back to Earth to test the spacecraft’s crew escape system and recovery after landing in the Bay of Bengal.
Morning launch delayed by 45 minutes due to weather. The attempt was again delayed by more than an hour due to engine problems and the ground computer put the module’s lift-off on hold, Somanath said.
The fault caused by a monitoring anomaly in the system was corrected and the test was successfully carried out 75 minutes later from the Sriharikota satellite launch center in southern India, Somanath told reporters.
This will pave the way for other unmanned missions, including sending a robot into space next year.
India successfully launched in September It was the first space mission to study the Sun. Less than two weeks after a successful uncrewed landing nearby Moon’s south polar region.
After a failed attempt to land on the moon in 2019, India joined the United States, Soviet Union and China as the fourth country to achieve the milestone in September.
The successful mission showcases India’s growing position as a technology and space powerhouse and dovetails with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s desire to project an image of an upstart country, cementing its place among the global elite.
Signaling a roadmap for India’s future space ambitions, Modi announced earlier this week that India’s space agency would set up an Indian-made space station by 2035 and land an Indian astronaut on the moon by 2040.
Active since the 1960s, India has launched satellites for itself and other countries, and in 2014 successfully placed one in Mars orbit. India is planning its first mission to the International Space Station next year in collaboration with the United States | aerospace |

“UAS approval is a valuable asset to our clients,” stated Haag’s President and CEO, Justin Kestner, P.E. “This technology allows us to obtain or preserve key information from an array of sites which were previously too dangerous, difficult, or even off limits to document. A UAS could be used to view an accident scene temporarily closed by OSHA, for example, or to document a historic façade for preservation purposes.”
The FAA granted Haag 3D Solutions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Haag Engineering, a Section 333 exemption which can be utilized nationwide on the DJI Phantom 3, DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Phantom 2 series of aircraft. Haag’s approved applications include mapping, inspection and photography of landfills, mining facilities, utilities, oil and gas facilities, agriculture, construction sites, forensic engineering assignments, damage assessments and fire investigations.

The sound effects were very effective. I made my dad listen to only the first 1 minute and asked him ‘Did the first person landing on the moon could not come back to Earth’. We started staring at each other and he said that this audio must be a joke. The audio and background sounds were very effective. The sound of sand, the sound of putting American Flag, everything seemed very realistic. | aerospace |

I thought this week I might leave Physics aside for a little and talk about the importance of space flight and exploration, especially the Mars issue.
Many leading scientists believe that in order for humans to progress and maintain our survival we must think about progressing in terms of space exploration, whether that be missions like Juno and Cassini to aid research on planetary science, missions like Voyager – the furthest space craft from Earth to explore the outskirts of the solar system or actually sending humans to Mars which seems to either be the general public’s cup of tea, or not.
Sending humans to Mars excites people perhaps due to a reason below:
- There have been many many claims to say that there may be life on Mars due to its location in the Goldilocks zone, thus technically habitable temperature for life, and people are excited about the prospects of this.
- Mars is the closest planet to Earth, and yet no human has set foot on it despite missions to the moon several times.
- It will become a milestone in human history and encourage more similar missions.
Now, I can’t count the number of times people have criticised why we haven’t made it to Mars yet, since we were making so much progress during the cold war, and I must say, conducting such a mission is not an easy task. I believe the cold war had been the main drive to many of the successful space flights and explorations in the 20th Century and I do think that if we’d a similar drive now, space exploration would be all the much different.
On why human space flight to Mars is not easy. Firstly, there are many problems to face when we start thinking about the mission logically. Mars is a very different destination compared to the moon. With the moon only taking 3 days to reach, the journey to Mars is likely going to last for many months. Also, the journey isn’t as simple as travelling in a straight line, when we do the calculations for this, we must take into account the orbits of the planets. Mars’ orbit around the Sun is slightly slower than that of Earth’s due to its greater distance from it, thus experiencing less of the Sun’s gravitational influence resulting in a slower orbital speed. The orbital velocities of the planets in the solar system follow a Keplerian Decline as mentioned in a previous post regarding Dark Matter. This means there is an optimum time period to launch the spacecraft to Mars which is why you cannot make the journey whenever you immediately wish and is something completely out of our control.
Well, how about upon landing on Mars? Not only due to the atmosphere and gravity, will we have to very carefully consider the construction of the spacecraft landing and how to land safely, the atmosphere itself is incredibly thin and is vastly occupied by carbon dioxide, there is too little of oxygen in order for a human breathe in the air and survive. It’s the whole problem of oxygen, food supplies and water. We must figure out how we should maintain these life essentials for a good number of months on an unfamiliar isolated planet because of the need to wait for the optimum time period to travel back to Earth. And…there’s a whole lot more I haven’t mentioned. Another problem with the Mars issue is funding, NASA has declared they don’t have enough budget to send humans to the planet, because yes, the process does involve a tonne of work and NASA aren’t in fact getting as much funding now as they did during the cold war, its 4% of the national budget at the time has now decreased to something like 0.05%.
And, welcome to the other side of the argument, people who think the entire thing about going to Mars is stupid. Being a regular user of Facebook and a follower of many Science pages on it, it is, I say, very common to see comments like the following on a post related to the space industry, and I quote, “Why are we trying to colonise other planets when we haven’t figured out how to live peacefully together on Earth? Why isn’t this money spent on helping to eradicate poverty and increase education standards?” Rolls one’s eyes. Though I must clarify that much more of countries’ budget is used on the latter two than space exploration. I guess these people’s main “argument” in a sense is, there are much more important things to deal with on Earth than exploring other worlds, thus concluding space exploration is a complete waste of time, and I profoundly disagree.
My question to such a person is, why can’t we do both? The clear implications of the argument on this side shows that there is a lack of knowledge and understanding regarding space travel. It is not just simply about “colonising” other planets and I assume that this isn’t the main intention of many space organisations. Research within the space industry have helped vastly with the developments of new technologies which contribute to making our civilisation a more advanced one, its discoveries from foreign worlds have aided much of the research in astronomy, astrophysics and many more natural science disciplines which broaden our understanding of the universe, and its achievements have helped bring people together.
I am disheartened that NASA with its funding at the moment is unable to take humans to the red planet, however despite this, there are a few hopeful private space industry companies that are able and willing to do so, including Elon Musk’s SpaceX who have promised this mission by the mid 2020s – I’m not sure if this is too optimistic, we’ll just have to wait and see – therefore it is safe to say, I think, that the future is bright…but you have to be patient.

This then lead onto him mentioning that he had his father’s Flight Logs from World War Two. Well what an opportunity and a privilege – I was given a box full of documents, photographs and two flight logs.
I have digitised all the flight logs and photographs and with research via the internet have put together my view of the Flying record of Fl/Lt 111109 Henry A Cowing. I have supplemented the information from the logs by looking at the bases mentioned and finding stories from fellow airmen who have gone through similar training.
The period covered is from 1.3.1940 to 22.7.1946 from initial flight training in the United Kingdom, Flight Instructor in Canada, returning to the United Kingdom, then convertion to Multi Engine aircraft leading up to Operational Flights in a Lancaster over Europe in 1945. | aerospace |

That is why the European Union decided on a common initiative to keep air transport safe and sustainable, allowing for growth and improved safety. It is called the European Aviation Safety Agency. The European Aviation Safety Agency promotes the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation in Europe and worldwide. It is the centrepiece of a new regulatory system which provides for a single European market in the aviation industry. A milestone achievement of the agency in December 2006 was the certification of the Airbus A380, the world’s largest airliner. The agency’s responsibilities include: Expert advice to the EU for drafting new legislation; Implementing and monitoring safety rules, including inspections in the Member States Type-certification of aircraft and components, as well as the approval of organisations involved in the design, manufacture and maintenance of aeronautical products; Authorisation of third-country (non EU) operators; Safety analysis and research. The agency’s responsibilities are growing to meet the challenges of the fast-developing aviation sector. In a few years, the Agency will also be responsible for safety regulations regarding airports and air traffic management systems. Based in Cologne, the agency already employs some 500 professionals from across Europe. It will continue to recruit highly qualified specialists and administrators in the coming years as it consolidates its position as Europe’s centre of excellence in aviation safety. Their vision is to see European citizens benefit from the safest and most environment-friendly civil aviation system in the world.

General Details About Aircraft Maintenance Engineering If we look back a decade or two, we will notice that avionics was just limited to a few black boxes for communication and navigation installed on aircraft. But with passage of time avionics in field of aviation has undergone a tremendous change. Integrated Digital Avionics as it is, referred to, has blossomed into a third dimension for aerospace vehicles, first two being airframe and engines. Any new advancement in electronics has tempted the A/C designer to add a new dimension to this avionics package. As a result, the avionics of today encompasses the aircraft flight control (fly by wire) also engine control (fully automatic Digital Electronics control), the integrated flight and fire control, cockpit displays and even utilities management in addition to communication and integrated navigation. Multiple roles are also being carried out in a truly integrated manner through the use of common digital format for data. This enables avionic systems to share data from a bank of common sensors and data links has permitted additional redundancies in hardware resulting to higher reliability and higher flight safety. Thus multi role aircraft are available with more reliability due to increased role of electronics. This has led to increase in cost of maintenance and manufacture of A/C. We know that avionics of today share 40% of the cost of military A/C and almost 55% of airforce budget. The major escalation in cost of present day A/C is due to more advanced and developed avionics. Because of advancement in electronics/Avionics we have multi role a/c these days. Even present day helicopter carry a more modern fire control radar and digital avionic flight management computers. Some of Present day A/C have advanced auto pilots and common digital automatic flight control and ground proximity warning system (GPWS). The stress these days is vastly on avionics updates which improves performance. Head up display is a new growth area being used on light transport a/c (LTA). The market of avionic is on the increase both in military and civil sectors. The new trend of increased role for avionic is definite to result in increase share of avionics in the local market also. The training and educational institutes are also updating their course coverage accordingly to deliver the trained manpower and handling and maintenance of developed avionic system in field of aviation. To fulfill the need of trained manpower in the field of avionics the endeavour of this institute is to update the training programme to generate reasonable level of self sufficiency in the field of Avionics. Presently there are about 60 institutes approved by DGCA to train man power for acquiring AME licence, out of these only 20 are approved to train AME’s for avionic systems and ours happens to be the first institute in Delhi Region approved by DGCA for Avionic System. Total number of students coming out from these 60 institutes which are training the students in the field of Airframe and Engines, are approximately 3600 per year, where as number of students coming out with avionics training are only around 1000 per year and so they are in great demand in the industry due to short supply and more development of avionics industry.

NAVCAST, high accuracy reached by all
Spaceopal GmbH launched in October 2018 its GNSS High Accuracy positioning enhancement prototype service NAVCAST, used to remove Galileo and GPS system errors in the context of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) techniques.
PPP techniques allow centimeter-level positioning applications without additional raw measurements from local reference stations. PPP denotes absolute (i.e. non-differential, phase ambiguity resolving) positioning techniques based on precise satellite orbit and clock information. Most of the PPP techniques combine dual frequency code and phase observations to come up in positioning accuracies at centimeter level. The precision of the satellite orbit and clock information drives the achievable positioning accuracy and convergence time at user level. NAVCAST enables PPP.
NAVCAST retrieves observation from more than one hundred global Galileo and GPS receivers and provides Galileo and GPS real time orbit and clock corrections based on the RETICLE algorithm developed by the German Aerospace Centre. Corrections are coded in RTCM 3 format and delivered over the Internet using NTRIP 2.0. NAVCAST supports Galileo E1, E5a and E5b and GPS L1 and L2.
NAVCAST users need a NTRIP client and a PPP engine. A NTRIP client is a software element used to connect to NTRIP caster and receive NTRIP streams. A PPP engine is a software element that brings the algorithms required to use clock and orbit corrections on top of user’s Galileo and/or GPS raw measurements to improve the position accuracy.

New aircrafts will be the part of US presidential helicopter air fleet. Sikorsky Aircraft will supply spare parts and supporting equipment for the helicopters.
The new VH-92A helicopter will eventually replace the VH-3D and VH-60N that have been on duty by military forces for more than forty years before today. The new design of the aircrafts not only increases the possible payload, but also improves maintainability, availability and electronic communications. At the time of preparation for production, the flight test time of the VH-92A exceeded 520 hours, including the operation on the South Lawn of the White House in September 2018. The 92A is based on the S-92 aircraft. As of April 2019, the aircraft had accumulated more than 1.5 million hours of flight, with an average of 14,600 hours per month.
Marine Corps pilots, technicians and squadron personnel have been trained on copies of the VH-92A cockpit in Quantico, Virginia, US. The training equipment was installed earlier in 2019, so maintenance professionals are already familiar with aircraft and practice troubleshooting solutions.
The Sikorsky company, now the part of Lockheed Martin, has been developing helicopters for the US president since Dwight Eisenhower. The aircraft will not only provide transportation for the President, but will also provide tasks for the vice president and foreign heads of state.
Igor Ivanovich Sikorsky (1889-1972) was an outstanding aircraft designer of Ukrainian origin, who worked in the Russian Empire and then immigrated to USA where he founded the Sikorsky Aircraft company. | aerospace |

Selective separation shaping (SSS) is a novel powder based additive manufacturing method that can build parts of various scale out of polymers, metals, ceramics and composites including cementitious materials. This is achieved at relatively high speed and with minimal machine complexity. In the SSS process, a thin wall of a separator powder material (S-powder) is deposited within the base material powder (B-powder) of which the part would be made by means of a narrow nozzle which emerges into the powder at the depth of one layer to form a barrier on the boundary of each layer. The nozzle has a slot at its outlet with the height of one layer through which the S-powder flows out under the vibration effect generated by a piezo element. The deposited barrier creates a physical separation between the part and surrounding material, which allows for the separation of the part from the surrounding powder after consolidation by fusing, sintering or bonding is complete. In case of sintering, which applies to printing metallic and ceramic parts, the S-powder could be a high temperature powder such as magnesia or tungsten powder or any other powder material which has a higher melting point than the base material.
SSS is the only powder-based process that can effectively work in zero gravity condition and as such it is ideal for use in the International Space Station for fabrication of spare parts and tools. In 2016, SSS won an international competition Grand Prize by NASA as the most capable and versatile metallic and ceramic Additive Manufacturing technology for micro-gravity and planetary applications. Followings are the advantages of SSS over current AM approaches:
SSS can process a range of diverse materials.
Any high melting point material may be processes by SSS as long as there is another material with a higher melting point that can be used as separator agent.
SSS can build very fast because it only treats part surfaces, not its core.
The SSS machines can be inexpensive and simple (hence reliable) because there is no reliance on expensive technologies such as laser and electron beam.
SSS can be more accurate than spot-heating processes that use laser and electron beam because in spot-heating processes heat expands through conduction hence the process resolution is not as fine as the beam diameter.
The nozzle opening in SSS may be a tall and thin slot along the length of the nozzle which would allow large-scale parts to be built with layers that could be as thick as bricks thereby allowing rapid construction of large structures with cementitious or other materials.
SSS is the only powder-based AM process that can operate without powder layering by inserting its nozzle deep into the base powder and depositing the separation powder for every part layer profile, each time raising the nozzle to deposit the succeeding layer. Among other advantages, this property of SSS makes it the only powder based approach that can work in micro gravity condition without requiring complex mechanisms (such as those used for creation of centrifugal force) for powder layering.

SpaceX had initially planned for the launch to take place last Saturday, before delaying it due to the need for more inspections. The remaining parts of the Falcon 9 rocket are already prepared for the new launch after being recycled. SpaceX didn't publicly speak about the Starlink prototypes, although it revealed their presence on the Falcon 9 rockets in Federal Communications Commission filings.
SpaceX plans to launch another Falcon 9 rocket (pictured) from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Southern California on Wednesday.
The fairing costs $6 million to produce, and so re-using it for multiple costs could lead to a significantly reduction in how much each launch individually costs SpaceX.
Sony Unveils AI-Powered Ride Hailing
It is unclear as to why Sony suddenly wants to get into the taxi/transportation business, but it could be an interesting approach. Sony says it intends to introduce different packages to suit the different needs of each platform.
SpaceX recovered a Falcon 9 payload fairing for the first time past year. We should know soon enough if Mr. Steven is a success. Musk said that they are getting closer to recovering the payload fairings and have been experimenting with parachutes on its fairings.
SpaceX's Dragon 2 capsule was used by NASA to send cargo to the International Space Station.
SpaceX is planning to use a giant net - one so huge that it takes up the majority of a high-speed watercraft named Mr. Steven - to catch reusable gear that falls back to Earth after missions to outer space. But, the launch has been delayed and is being postponed to February 21 to allow engineers do final checks of Falcon 9's upgraded nose cone. It is also partially reusable, and two of the Falcon Heavy's three boosters landed safely on twin pads at the Cape Canaveral. The estimated cost of Falcon 9 launch is now at around $63 million, assuming total expendable configuration, so cutting a potential $6 million from that total, on top of reusable booster benefits, could be significant.
It's the first phase of testing for SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk's vision to build a space-based broadband internet service within six years. | aerospace |

Mission controllers will confirm the trajectory in the coming days.
The probe, named Akatsuki, was designed by JAXA's Institute of Space and Astronautical 24小时娱乐在线 (ISAS) to peel away some of the mystery of Venus's dense, cloudy atmosphere. But an engine malfunction during the craft's first rendezvous with Venus on 7 December 2010 sent it on a 5-year, 10-orbit trip around the sun. Engineers used the time to develop a scheme to insert the craft into orbit using four small attitude-control thrusters. JAXA reported that the thruster firing went as planned starting at 8:51 a.m. Japan time and that Akatsuki "is now in good health" and apparently circling Venus. Further tracking will be required to confirm its exact orbit.
Space watchers note that the apparently successful operation is a testament to the resourcefulness of ISAS scientists. "There is no previous example of the recovery of a mission after an orbital insertion failure," says Colin Wilson, a Venus specialist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. ? | aerospace |

The FAA expects air travel to double in the next 20 years. With so many more people taking to the skies, and more planes in the air, it is likely that there will be more accidents. For the most part, flying is a safe means of transportation, but, understandably, when accidents happen the result is often catastrophic with fatalities occurring. Additionally, we do not always hear about less serious accidents in smaller, private aircraft because many of these events are unreported.
Whether you are flying in a commercial jet, a small private plane or on a helicopter, you are putting your trust in the airline, pilots, flight crew, mechanics and air traffic controllers to keep you safe until you land at your destination. If you or someone you love has been harmed or suffered a wrongful death in an aviation accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries or loss. A skilled aviation accident attorney from our firm will fight to recover the full damages that your case merits.
Common Causes of Aviation Accidents
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) are the organizations whose responsibility is to investigate aviation accidents and monitor air transportation. Some of the most common causes of aviation accidents are due to disregard for FAA and NTSB regulations and guidelines. Other causes include:
Pilot or flight crew mistakes
Hazardous material aboard the aircraft
Structural design defects
Improper fueling or maintenance
Negligence or mistakes by federal air traffic controllers
A thorough investigation of the circumstances of your accident is vital to obtaining the monies you are entitled to. We will obtain all relevant airplane manufacturer documents, airline records and FAA reports and use them to ascertain why the accident occurred. We have access to aviation experts who are knowledgeable about all aspects of aviation operations, maintenance and accidents. Our goal is to achieve justice for you, and for those loved ones that you have lost. Contact an aviation accident lawyer today for a free initial consultation. | aerospace |

The United Kingdom has never before launched from its own territory, using the southern coast of Australia for that purpose. Half a century ago, it was from there that the Black Arrow rocket put into orbit the first British satellite Prospero. The idea of using its own coastline for launch activities came a few years ago. And in the UK space strategy planned out until 2030, it is talked about as a matter of fact.
Today, the UK has a strong presence in the space equipment segment. It is a pioneer in the manufacture of small satellite platforms and spacecraft, and a leader in the production of satellite communications antennas and ground equipment. And high resolution satellite imagery obtained from this spacecraft is of great value for other businesses and industries in the region. But of course, the space industry in the UK faces some challenges while trying to develop. Let’s discuss what they are and what awaits in the future.
UK’s Access to Space Services
Satellites offer a variety of services, the main ones being navigation, communications, weather forecasting, and financial operations. All of those are essential for the effective and seamless functioning of such industries as agriculture, energy, maritime, and urban development. Therefore, resilient and secure access to such satellite services as Earth observation, communications, and navigation is essential.
For instance, as communication satellites are in charge of providing television, internet, radio, telephone, and other services, the satellite telecommunications sector occupies the largest share in the UK space sector, accounting for almost half of the space industry’s income ank significantly contributing to the economy.
The Role of Satellite Imagery
Speaking of Earth observation services, high resolution Earth images are an unmatched source of data on the UK’s cities, transportation networks, energy infrastructure, and much more.
With the constant development of AI, which enables advanced imagery analysis for different purposes, there are more and more possibilities open for using satellite pictures. For instance, the British Environment Agency is leveraging the power of satellite imagery analytics for tackling the issues of plastic pollution near the coastline, which is a great contribution to environment preservation. There is also a growing demand for high quality satellite images coming from governments and the utility sector. Therefore, the need for fast and easy access to such pictures will only grow.
The British government has announced the funding commitment to the UK’s space sector in the amount of £1.84bn. Part of these funds will be offered to smaller firms involved in developing technology that reduces the dependence of the UK on countries outside of Europe in terms of electronic parts, such as space solar power.
Such funds will not only support the already growing UK space and commercial satellite sector but will also contribute in creating new jobs. According to the government, the UK’s space industry is an employer of approximately 50,000 jobs and generates almost £17bn annually.
The UK Space Sector Now
Modern UK governments recognize the importance of defense and environment sectors, both of which heavily rely on satellite data, including high res satellite images. It has led to government funding decisions and development of regulations aimed at the support and growth of space activities. Moreover, the UK Space Agency is currently supporting the growth of regional clusters, increasing the number and types of companies involved in the space economy, from upstream to downstream applications.
The Role Of R&D Support For The UK Space Sector
Space economy is a competitive environment on a global scale, which means the development of ideas, methods, and technologies is essential to stay on track and gain a sufficient share of projected growth. The UK is not an exception, and also needs to keep offering a range of space technologies to the world. Apart from that, it’s critical to support programmes that make sure these ideas pass the stages from development to implementation as fast as possible.
For this decade, strategic plans include the development of navigation services and applications, and the provision of remote sensing data services. There are currently seven locations within the UK under consideration for space or suborbital launches. Most of them are located in the north — in Scotland or on the west coast of Wales. Whereas satellite manufacturers are mostly based in England. Virgin Orbit is set to launch from Cornwall Spaceport in Wales for the first time in the nearest future. It was previously part of Richard Branson’s group, but has recently declared its independence. Virgin Orbit, led by former Boeing vice president Dan Hart, uses the Boeing-747 to launch cubicles into orbit. On June 30, 2021, the company managed to deliver satellites to low orbit for the first time. | aerospace |

Former Nasa executives are launching a private firm to send people to the Moon – if they can afford the astronomical price.
From at least $700,000, the Golden Spike Company is offering trips for two people, either to individuals or to countries, for research or national prestige.
The goal is for the first of up to 20 launches to take off before 2020.
Nasa’s last trip to the Moon was 40 years ago, and in the decades since the US won the so-called ‘space race’ with the former Soviet Union there has been little official interest in going back there.
President Barack Obama cancelled Nasa’s planned return to the Moon, saying, in effect, that America had been there, done that.
But Golden Spike has talked to other countries that have shown interest in the destination, said the company’s president and former Nasa associate administrator Alan Stern.
He said he imagines countries like South Africa, South Korea and Japan as his clients.
‘It’s not about being first. It’s about joining the club,’ he said.
He added: ‘We’re kind of cleaning up what Nasa did in the 1960s. We’re going to make a commodity of it in the 2020s.’
The company will buy existing rockets and capsules and develop new space suits and a lunar lander, he said.
Dozens of private space companies have started up in recent years.
Many hope to follow the success of SpaceX, which is operating under a contract with Nasa to ferry cargo to the International Space Station.
Golden Spike is made up of space veterans and its chairman is Apollo-era flight director Gerry Griffin, who once headed up the Johnson Space Centre.
Advisers include space shuttle veterans, Hollywood directors, former Republican presidential primary contender Newt Gingrich, former UN ambassador Bill Richardson and engineer-author Homer Hickam. | aerospace |

Norman J. Fortier
FOR A FIGHTER PILOT IN THE MIGHTY EIGHTH, DEATH WAS ALWAYS A HEARTBEAT AWAY.When the skies of Europe blazed with the fiercest air battles in history, fighter pilots like Norman “Bud” Fortier were in the thick of it, flying four hundred miles an hour at thirty thousand feet, dodging flak and dueling with Nazi aces. In their role as “escorts” to Flying Fortresses and Liberators, the fighter squadrons’ ability to blast enemy aircraft from the sky was key to the success of pinpoint bombing raids on German oil refineries, communication and supply lines, and other crucial targets. Flying in formation with the bomber stream, Fortier and the rest of his squadron helped develop dive-bombing and strafing tactics for the Thunderbolts and Mustangs. As the war progressed, fighter squadrons began to carry out their own bombing missions. From blasting V-1 missile sites along France’s “rocket coast” and the hell-torn action of D day to the critical attacks on the Ruhr Valley and massive daylight raids on German industrial targets, Fortier was part of the Allies’ bitter struggle to bring the Nazi war machine to a halt. In describing his own hundred-plus missions and by including the accounts of fellow fighter pilots, Fortier recaptures the excitement and fiery terror of the world’s most dangerous cat-and-mouse game.

Dr. Paul Scully-Power or PSP, as he is affectionately known, has an extraordinary intellect, a very ‘down to earth’ attitude and very cheeky sense of humour. He was featured in Channel 9’s special ‘Apollo 11 Special’, ABC’s ‘Fly me to the Moon’ 2 part series, BBC Stargazers with Brian Cox, Channel 7 Sunrise and many more interviews on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
Paul Scully-Power spent his youth surfing Sydney’s beaches, a passion that would see him become the first head of the Australian Navy’s oceanography division. In the 1970s he successfully applied to be an investigator at NASA and then used the space agency’s infrared satellite data to survey the ocean.
Recognising his unique expertise, NASA tapped him to join the 13th flight of the space shuttle program, mission STS-41G.
After months of flight training, Scully-Power was strapped into a seat in the crew module of the Challenger space shuttle at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, as a payload specialist. It was Oct. 5, 1984.
Upon launch, Scully-Power, then 40 years old, would set numerous records. He would become the first Australian-born person to leave Earth. He would become the first oceanographer in space. And with a face full of brown-white hair, he’d be the first person in space with a beard.
Dr. Scully-Power has extensive international experience in industry, government, and academia in the US, UK, Australia & New Zealand, and is well known for his network of people and institutions around the world. He has broad expertise in defence, national security & intelligence, aviation & aerospace, remote sensing, cybersecurity, and systems analysis & ICT. He has served as Chairman of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, Chancellor of Bond University, and Chairman of the Queensland Premier’s Science & Technology Council.
Dr Scully-Power worked for over three decades in the United States, holding executive appointments under Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush, and Clinton, where he led and managed many high tech, defence and security programs, He held the Distinguished Chair of Underwater Acoustics in the US Navy, and was a Research Associate at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Chairman of Membership of the Connecticut Academy of Science and Engineering, President of the Fort Trumbull Federal Credit Union, and served on the Universities & Colleges Accreditation Board & the Offie of Naval Research. | aerospace |

It is the largest research center in the space sector created by private companies and universities in Korea, while Hanwha will invest 10 billion won in a research center established under the direct control of the vice president of research at KAIST.
Space Hub is the general headquarters of the space business launched in March, and Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha Systems, Hanwha and Satrec I are participating.
The first research project of Space Hub and KAIST is the development of 'ISL (Inter Satellite Links)', a low-orbit satellite communication technology. ISL is an essential technology for implementing communication services using low-orbit satellites.
The key is to exchange data between satellites as "lasers.". Unlike conventional geostationary satellites, low-orbit satellites can quickly process large amounts of data as multiple satellites exchange data with lasers using ISL technology.
In addition, the Internet will be available on flights and ships in operation and in remote areas where electricity is not available. It can be used immediately for satellite communication and air mobility projects promoted by Hanwha System.

Offering weight reductions of around 20 percent when compared with standard silicone rubber materials, Icon Polymer says its news ICONlite low specific gravity silicone nonetheless maintains the unique mechanical and chemical properties that make silicone rubber so well suited to aerodynamic aircraft seals.
Based on a proprietary technology through which hybrid polymers can be produced to exhibit a wide range of performance attributes, Icon Polymer says ICONlite represents a major step forward in low weight seals. It is even said to allow variable densities to be tuned to the requirements of the platform.
Icon Polymer says its own research estimates a total fuel saving in the region of US$5 million (approx. £3.2 million) in one application, based on the use of ICONlite seals creating a 240kg weight saving on an aircraft flying for a total of 700,000 hours, with a cost per gallon of approx. US$3.09 (approx. £2.00) for kerosene type jet fuel.
Neil Wilkinson, Global Buisness Director at Icon Polymer Group, explained: “The unique ‘backbone’ of silicone rubber allows it to perform consistently over a wide temperature range, with excellent environmental resistance, which has over the years made it the material of choice for specifiers of seals.
“However, mindful of the ever-increasing drive to reduce aircraft weight and therefore fuel consumption, our team of engineers have applied their extensive materials knowledge to create a lighter weight solution which does not compromise on performance.
“The potential savings are massive and we are already in conversation with several leading global manufacturers and tier one suppliers about the integration of ICONlite products into their designs.” | aerospace |

A team of AH-64E Apaches can ultimately be the crucial difference whether our forces can seize, retain, or exploit the initiative. The photo above clearly highlights the awesome vantage point that the platform provides for the crew as they provide reaction time and maneuver space to combatant commanders. However, the extremely complex human-to-machine interaction and workload taking place within the cockpit is often overlooked. What’s not clear is how the crew interacts with this aircraft to get to that vantage point.
As the missions of the AH-64E become more diverse and technology becomes more complex, especially with the advent of Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T), we often fail to consider how the link between the human and the machine will affect the mission. These combat aviators rely almost completely on a visual interface. Combat systems developers have ignored leveraging the other human senses that can further empower the pilot and increase the operational effectiveness of the aircraft.
The three dimensional audio provided by SCI Technology’s FireComm® digital intercommunications system (ICS) can allow each aviator to monitor and respond to multiple radios simultaneously, to instinctually react to threat weapons systems, and to increase their reaction time during emergency operations.
Furthermore, the Voice Command Interface feature of FireComm allows the aviator to use voice commands to directly manage the aircraft systems. This added voice capability allows aviators to keep his/her focus outside the aircraft and their hands directly on the flight controls instead of transitioning their attention inside the aircraft to manipulate a multi-function display (MFD).
Implementation of added aural and audio technological capabilities will further enable AH-64E aircrews to continue to conduct air-ground operations (AGO) in support of ground force commanders. | aerospace |

Dr. Anita Sengupta of NASA’s JPL spoke on the Mars Science Laboratory Mission. The talk was very informal, and Anita opened the floor to questions during her talk as opposed to asking the audience to hold questions till after. This created a really interactive, discussion-oriented atmosphere, which was relevant as there were some knowledgeable people in attendance.
Anita is a Senior Systems Engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She has dealt with the Entry Descent and Landing (EDL) systems for several missions. She spoke last night on the Mars Science Laboratory Mission. This is a very exciting mission particularly because of the size of the 2000 lb rover, which is much greater than previous missions. The larger payload allows for much more scientific equipment to be packed on-board. The rover, Curiosity, will be seeking evidence of organic compounds. Anita stated that we construe the data from images of Mars based on Earth analogues. As we gather more and more info I expect we will be able to construct a greater understanding of how Mars operates in its own right. She showed images of what is thought to be water originating from an underground aquifer. These darkened finger-like projections, which were picked up by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2011 were found closer to the equator, and seem to be a seasonal occurrence, presenting darker and longer in the Spring and Summer, and fading in the Winter.
There are also high levels of methane from an unknown source. The assumption with sources of methane is that it comes from either a biological source, such as Martian cows(!) or geological sources, such as volcanoes. The latter is perhaps a more plausible conclusion.
Much of the talk revolved around Anita’s particular area of expertise. And she talked about testing parachutes in the wind-tunnel at NASA’s Ames Research Center near Palo Alto. They ran into great difficulties when testing with a low pressure environment at super-sonic speeds, experiencing what she described as a jelly-fish effect. I’m going to be honest here. When I saw the mini-parachute they tested, I thought it would make a great skirt! Nylon and Kevlar. I’ll post if I get around to making this. :)
The EDL has a few stages. Here is a CGI video of the proposed landing.
At times, I don’t realize how profound it is that we are sending exploring rovers to the surface of other planets. The fact that all equipment must be sterilized and that we can’t bring anything back from Mars unless we re-visit and re-write international treaties, brings some of that seriousness to the fore. It is a shame that NASA has lost funding lately. There was discussion about this among the guests, and they spoke to the reputation of inflexibility for which NASA known. Now that so much competition is popping up commercially, we may start to see some changes in the tone of the future of space flight. | aerospace |

While the aerospace industry aims for weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and to decrease maintenance time and operating costs, aircraft structures are often designed and built heavier than required in order to accommodate unpredictable failure. A way to overcome this approach is the use of SHM systems to detect the presence of defects. This book covers all major contemporary aerospace-relevant SHM methods, from the basics of each method to the various defect types that SHM is required to detect to discussion of signal processing developments alongside considerations of aerospace safety requirements. It will be of interest to professionals in industry and academic researchers alike, as well as engineering students. | aerospace |

It reminded me of the adventures of Antoine de St.-Exupéry, the aviation pioneer and author of the legendary novel “The Little Prince”. I was a great admirer of “The Little Prince” and St.-Exupéry and wanted to dedicate a tribute to him by flying the identical route when he was pilot for the French Postal Service travelling down the West African coastline. I landed in almost the exact same place in the desert where he had to make an emergency landing. I regretted following St.-Exupéry’s experience so exactly as my Broussard got stuck in the sand and I was forced to rent two camels “in mating season” from the Tuareg people to pull the plane out of the dunes. You will never understand what absurdity means until you have seen two giant camels attempt to mate while supposedly pulling an aircraft out of the sand in the middle of a desert – and the weird sounds they made. I’m sure St.-Exupéry never met any camels during mating season or otherwise “The Little Prince” would have had a very different view on life. The flight over Morocco gave me a new understanding of St.-Exupéry’s words. I believe I finally understood what The Little Prince saw. He witnessed pure life which we no longer have time to appreciate.
I sought to combine my twin passions, film and aviation, by embarking on a series of what I describe as “poetic adventure films.” The first in this series, the 1995 TV-documentary, “The Desert Prince”, was conceived as a tribute to the pioneering French aviator Antoine de St.-Exupéry. “The Desert Prince” was subsequently broadcast on TV5, ARTE, and Canadian television. The next film in the series, “The White Leopard – On the Tracks of Ernest Hemingway” (1999), was dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Swissair and the centennial of Hemingway’s birth and served as a fictional account of a meeting in Nairobi, Kenya, between Hemingway and two other legendary figures of the 20th century: Walter Mittelholzer, the Swiss aviation pioneer and founder of Swissair, and Baron Louis von Rothschild, the last of the Austrian Rothschilds. The story revolved around the myth of a white leopard that Hemingway described in the preface to his famous novel, “The Snows of Kilimanjaro.” Even today, a flight over Kilimanjaro, which is 6,000 meters high, is a dangerous undertaking for a small aircraft. The best time to fly over the summit is the early morning when the air is still cold and dense as this allows the aircraft to fly higher than in warmer, lighter air. It is a constant struggle to get the aircraft to go higher and it is a relief to finally have cleared the summit. I documented my flight over Morocco with film and photo cameras. I shot thousands of pictures for the books “The Desert Prince” and “The White Leopard” showing the experiences of adventure. A similar book about The New 7 Wonders will be published soon. | aerospace |

The IRGC public relations department said in a statement on Thursday that a US spy drone that violated the Iranian territorial airspace in the early hours of Thursday, was fired at by the IRGC Aerospace Force’s air defense unit near the Kooh-e-Mobarak region in the southern province of Hormozgan.
It added that the American “Global Hawk” spy drone has been shot down.
The area is located at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, only some 80 kilometers from the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
incident occurred a day after Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National
Security Council Ali Shamkhani warned of Tehran’s harsh response to any
intrusion into its airspace or maritime borders.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 10th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Russia’s Ufa on Wednesday, Shamkhani emphasized that Iran robustly protects its aerial and maritime borders.
He also described the Iranian FIR (flight information region) as the country’s “redline”, saying, “No matter whose plane trespasses into it (the airspace), we have always given and will give a harsh response to intruders.”
The IRGC Aerospace Force said the ‘Global Hawk’ spy drone took off from a US military base in south of the Persian Gulf at 19:44 GMT on Wednesday (00:14 am local time on Thursday), switched off all of its communication systems, and flew towards the port city of Chabahar via the Strait of Hormuz in maximum stealth.
When flying back to the western part of the region, the unmanned plane violated the Iranian airspace near the Strait of Hormuz and began to spy on Iran and collect information, the statement added.
The IRGC Aerospace Force’s air defense unit shot down the intruding drone in Iran’s airspace at 23:35 GMT, it noted.
The doomed aircraft, an RQ-4C Global Hawk, is one of the world’s most advanced spy drones that costs more than $200 million to build.
The intruding drone was reportedly shot by Iran’s homegrown air defense missile system “Khordad-3rd”.
In comments made a few hours after the incident, IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami said the shooting down of the US aircraft had a straightforward message that any foreign intrusion into Iran’s sovereign territories would draw a crushing response.
“The downing of the US drone had an explicit, decisive and clear message that defenders of the Islamic Iran’s borders will show decisive and knockout reactions to aggression against this territory by any alien,” he said.
“Borders are our redline, and any enemy violating these borders will not go back,” the commander underlined.
He also made it clear that Iran is not seeking war with any country but is fully prepared for any confrontation. “Today’s incident was a clear sign of such a precise message.” | aerospace |

Whilst progress is being made with therapy it feels slow at the moment. Mavis says: “Walking means everything to me. l love going for a walk in the countryside. But at the moment I can’t even go to the shops.”
Mavis is a very independent lady and still lives in her own home near Coulsdon in Surrey. She has led a very interesting life as a pilot. After gaining her private pilot’s license through an organisation that encouraged women to take part in Aviation, Mavis signed up with the RAF Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) as a cadet pilot in 1951, when she was just 18. After passing a test flight and other checks she was accepted into Elementary Flight Training School based at Redhill where she started flying and training as well. She had lessons and sat in on lectures and she would fly every weekend, developing her skills in advanced flying and even aerobatics.
Mavis says: “My mother wasn’t very happy about me becoming a pilot, in fact she wished I wasn’t a pilot at all. Because in the war I’d had a brother who was killed in a Lancaster bomber over Germany. I had 2 other brothers – eventually one came home from India after a long time there and my other brother was at home with me. My mother was very nervous about me joining the RAF – she hated me flying even though it was peace time. I had to reassure her all the time that it was safe.
I flew with the RAF for 2 years. I helped out with RAF duties such as internal flights to move aeroplanes around within the UK. I regularly flew a Chipmunk which I enjoyed the most.
In 1953 I was also part of what I believe to be the RAF’s first and only all Women’s display team. I had a lot of formation training and I loved it. We gave displays on formation flying with my colleagues Brenda and Mickey and we’d fly in different combinations of 2. We did several displays at White Waltham and Biggin Hill aerodromes. It was the highlight of my time in the RAF.
Eventually I had to stop as I went abroad to join my husband in Singapore. It was very hard to stop flying though so when we came back to the UK I was employed as a pilot by Rolls Royce for about 15 years.
Today I am working with QEF’s physio team to try and get me walking again. There is no plan to go home yet – I only want to leave when I can walk! “ | aerospace |

One of its aims is to look for exobiology (signs of past and present life). The ExoMars Rover is one of two autonomous rovers designed to be landed on the planet in 2018, and will be equipped specifically for that purpose including PanCam, a stereoscopic panoramic imaging system designed by the UK’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory.
A lanky-necked Rover with two beady eyes
Descends from a sky-crane through dust-laden skies.
From the Earth come “Hurrahs!”
As it settles on Mars,
And then comes the signal: “Go forth , analyse!”
Powered by sunlight and bristling with gear,
The Rover will map the terrain far and near
Using PanCam and software,
To sort out a spot where
Some exobiology might just appear.
Then Earthlings will sort out which target looks right,
And the Rover will plan out its route to the site.
It’s got six wheels to drive it,
And to help it survive, it
Has heaters to make sure it’s warm overnight.
There’s a drill to get samples from two metres deep,
With a built-in spectrometer, giving a peep
At the rock in the raw,
So its studied before
It’s degraded. Such instruments do not come cheap!
The samples get crushed and inspected, and then
The Rover will do it again and again.
But, I ask with respect,
Can it hope to detect
Those rascally Martians, the Little Green Men? | aerospace |

This airport happens to be located about 6 miles from LAX and 2 miles from Santa Monica Bay near the Pacific Ocean.
Initially, Santa Monica Airport was called Clover Field, which was named after Greayer “Dirty” Clover who was a World War I pilot Second Lieutenant. This area was home to the Douglas Aircraft Organization. The first circumnavigation of the world done by air was achieved by the United States Armed Forces in a very uncommon custom flying machine that was called the Douglas World Cruiser. It would take off from Clover Field on March of 1924, on St. Patrick’s Day and would return to Clover Field after 28,000 miles of flight. Cloverfield Boulevard is now a what remains of the airports unique name.
Clover Field at one time happened to be the site of the Army’s 115th Observation Squadron, and 40th Division Aviation, and eventually, after World War II it would become a Distribution Center. Douglas Aircraft Company happened to be headquartered nearby Clover Field. As well as other critical aircrafts that were built there, Douglas made the whole Douglas Commercial “DC” arrangement of responding motor fueled aircrafts including the DC 2, DC 5, DC 1, DC 3, and DC 4 as well as DC 7 and DC 6. Amid World War II, B-18 Bolo and B-18A planes and a huge number of C-47 (military adaptation of the DC-3) and C-54 (later the non-military personnel DC-4) military transports were worked at Santa Monica, amid which time the airplane terminal territory was keenly camouflaged from the air with the development of a false “town” (worked with the assistance of Hollywood experts) suspended on it.
In 1958, Donald Douglas requested that the city extend the airplane terminal’s runway with the goal that Douglas Aircraft could deliver and test the DC 8 there. The city, bowing to protests of inhabitants, declined to do as such, and Douglas shut a plant that had utilized 44,000 laborers in World War II, moving aircraft creation to Long Beach Airport.
The airplane terminal is equipped with a control tower and, by and large, took care of 296 operations per day. According to the Air Traffic Activity System by the FAA, traffic has decreased as of 2014.
As this Airport is one of numerous general flight airplane terminals in the country that is encompassed on a few sides by private improvement, the City of Santa Monica forcefully upholds a standout amongst the most stringent clamor laws in the country. Notwithstanding reacting to the group’s commotion concerns and authorizing the City’s Aircraft Noise Ordinance, which incorporates a greatest permissible clamor level, check in time hours and certain operational restrictions, Airport staff is associated with an assortment of supplementary exercises planned to diminish the general effect of air ship operations on the local locations encompassing the Airport. | aerospace |

Meyer Associate Chief, Propulsion Division Senior Technical Advisor to NASA eCryo Project. The past, present, and future of NASA launch and space travel technologies are steeped in the icy realm of cryogenics. NASA employs cryogenics, the science of generating extremely low temperatures and the behavior of materials at those temperatures, in a variety of fluid management and low-temperature applications including vehicle propulsion, high-pressure . Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) involves storage and transfer of cryogenic liquids . Cryogenic liquids are extremely cold (36 R or 20 K for liquid hydrogen; R or 90 K for liquid oxygen).

Captain Liu Chuanjian made an emergency landing on Monday after windshield of his Sichuan Airlines plane shattered and his co-pilot was sucked halfway out of the window, according to CNN.
The terrifying event occurred at 30,000 feet during a flight from Chongqing to Lhasa, China. The co-pilot was pulled back in by his seatbelt, and only suffered a sprained wrist and some scratches. A flight attendant also sustained some injuries. He and Chuanjian reportedly remained calm as they landed the Airbus219 at Chengdu Shuangliu Airport.
“There was no warning sign. Suddenly, the windshield just cracked and made a loud bang. The next thing I know, my co-pilot had been sucked halfway out of the window,” Chuanjian said, Reuters reports.
Chuanjian adds, “Everything in the cockpit was floating in the air. Most of the equipment malfunctioned … and I couldn’t hear the radio.” ECNS.com details that he was also forced to keep his composure as the -40 C winds blasted through the cockpit, but completed the landing in about 20 minutes. Neither him nor the 119 passengers were harmed.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) is investigating the occurrence, and also reported that the windshield had no previous recorded faults, says Reuters.
“This incident that happened today is very rare,” Chuanjian was recorded saying by the Chengdu Economic Daily.
“The plane felt like it was free falling going down and we were probably going down for 10 or 15 minutes and of course, everyone is freaking out,” recalled passenger Marty Martinez. “Everyone is crying. It was the scariest experience.”
The news comes nearly a month after an engine exploded blowing out a window on a Southwest flight and resulting in the death of a woman who was nearly sucked out of the broken window. | aerospace |

Their unit shipped out to the Middle East on board the USS RANGER when U.S. military buildup began there in January 1991. Tom and Charlie had been in the region only ten days when hostilities began and they were asked to fly combat missions on Iraqi military targets in the first wave of offensive strikes of the war the opening night of the Gulf War. Tom was the pilot of an FA6 Intruder, and Charlie his BN (bomdadier/navigator). Both failed to return from missions on the morning of Friday, January 18, 1991.
Later reports revealed that two emergency radio beeper signals were picked up indicating that both Tom and Charlie ejected safely from their aircraft. Both were returning to the USS Ranger after a bombing mission over Baghdad.
On January 20, both Tom and Charlie were officially listed as MIA by the Pentagon. It was not until almost two months after the end of Operation Desert Storm that the Iraqis handed over the remains of 14 United States soldiers. One of those was Tom.

In this photograph, Otto Lilienthal (1848-96), a leading innovator in aviation, descends in his glider from the May Heights [Maihöhe] near Steglitz, a Berlin suburb. Lilienthal built the flight station – consisting of a 13' shed on a large hill – to ensure that he could fly into the wind during his practice flights. He designed and tested many glider prototypes and carried out basic research on the principles of flying, laying the groundwork for the Wright Brothers' invention. In this photo, Lilienthal flies the model “Maihöhe-Rhinow-Glider” [Maihöhe-Rhinow-Apparat], the basis of the later “Normal Glider” [Normalapparat], which he eventually modified into a biplane. He died from injuries sustained during a glider crash in 1896. Photo: Ottomar Anschütz. | aerospace |
