As an aircraft maintenance technician (AMT), you may be wondering whether this is the case, especially with the current global situation. Find out more about aircraft maintenance technicians at www.flight-mechanic.com/aircraft-mechanic-requirements/.
AMT has many opportunities for work in airline companies and also away from those airline companies. There is plenty of exposure and growth for example when you find work in situations where you are constantly exposed to live aircraft.
You get to improve your technical skills when you apply your training in troubleshooting and repair work. At the same time, you get to learn so much more dealing with different aircraft in different circumstances. Apart from what is taught and what you pick in the field, you get to build up your experience in unique situations. There are strict guidelines when it comes to troubleshooting and repair procedures for aircraft. But through experience, you get to see unique circumstances that demand you go above and beyond textbook interpretations. Such experiences help you get better at your job in future scenarios.
You can also find work that does not necessarily have you handling the aircraft directly on a constant basis. There is the position of a maintenance controller for example. Having performed in the role of an AMT for a while, you will have the necessary experience to handle the responsibilities that come with the role of a maintenance controller. You will organize and oversee the interaction between the management offices and the AMTs in the field. You will also arrange all work for the AMTs, ensuring they have what they need, and that they work in the most effective and efficient schedule. See more here about aircraft maintenance.
You could also progress to occupy the fleet management and reliability position. The work entails analyzing how reliable the aircraft systems are, and proposing solutions moving into the future. Your experience as an AMT is critical for this role, as it needs someone who understands the intricacies of aircraft operations, who can accurately analyze those systems and make appropriate recommendations.
You may also find work outside airlines, but still in the aviation industry. There are aircraft and component manufactures who need those with experience in AMT work to help in designing, refining, and improving their products. Your understanding of how aircraft operate and their behavior in different circumstances puts you in a unique position to tell how changes to its design will pan out.
If you are interested in a career in the aviation industry, you will find the position of an AMT to be one that will give you so many options in the future. You can read more about the necessary training on this site. Check out this post that has expounded on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_maintenance_technician. | aerospace |

You need a crew, a motorboat, and it requires a long hose line (and powerful jet pump) to feed the H20 propellant. Also, you won't be able to wear a tuxedo like James Bond and drop in on friends—well, you can but you'll look like the cat dragged you in—swimwear fashions only. (Now if you friends live along the waterfront, then sure, why not?)
Upside: No FAA pilot's certificate required. It's safe to fly with nearly unlimited time in the air with flights up to 30 feet in altitude. Test flights are available in New Jersey, Florida, Nevada, and California and range from $170-$250 plus for 30 minutes, including 10 minutes of flight instruction.
You can purchase your own, complete one-person jetpack kit for around $10,000. | aerospace |

When hostilities finished in 1945 the squadron revived and began to fly the Seafire. From 1950 to 1954 the 11th Flottille carried out two campaigns in Indochina achieving 344 war missions and 950 flying hours in the F-6F Hellcat. In 1955 the Flottille fought in North Africa flying the Aquilon. In 1960 the Flotilla was assigned to the French Aircraft Carrier "Clemenceau". April 1st, 1963 was the day the Flotille received the brand new aircraft, built by Marcel Dassault for carrier ops. the "Etandard IV M".
In 1967 the Flottille left hyeres to be stationed at Landivisiau, this is today still the home base of Flotille 11. In 1978, the "Etandard" was replaced by its more capable successor the "Super-Etandard". which still is the operational aircraft at this time.
The 11th Flottille does not have a tiger in their crest, however the Clemenceau carried the tiger crest when they where admitted to the NTA. When in 1997 the "Clemenceau" retired from service the squadron was allowed to keep their tiger-status for they had shown true tiger spirit in past years.
Currently the 11th Flottille uses the French Aircraft Carrier "Charles De Gaulle" for its off base operations, the carrier was the home from which the squadron operated in the Kosovo crisis. The 11th Flottille is on of the squadron awaiting the arrival of the Aeronavale's newest aircraft the Dassault "Rafale M". | aerospace |

As if winning Super Bowls weren’t enough, the Patriots are once again proving their dominance over the NFL by becoming the first team to purchase their own plane to travel to games – and they bought two.
The team purchased two 767 Boeing wide-body jets earlier this offseason, and retrofitted each plane with nothing but first-class seats, some of which recline completely. The exterior was coated with team livery, including a tail wing featuring their five Lombardi trophies.
With the purchase, the franchise becomes the first in the NFL to out-right own their own plane, with other teams chartering flights to away games.
According to sources, the models the Pats bought are extended range, allowing them to fly nonstop for about 12 hours. The price Robert Kraft and the team could have paid in upwards of $400 million for the pair.
Why two you may ask? The entire team, coaching staff, and equipment load can fit on one, meaning the second will used as a backup. | aerospace |

In order to achieve the levels we aim for, the international aerospace course requires that you specialise and choose a specific direction within the domain of aerospace engineering. Since all of the faculty’s teaching and research activities centre on aerospace vehicles, the range of choices available focuses entirely on aircraft and spacecraft.
With a degree in Aerospace Engineering in your pocket, the world is almost literally at your feet. You will be an attractive job candidate outside the aerospace industry as well: International aerospace graduates are much sought-after in the banking and consultancy sectors, both in the Netherlands and abroad. The good balance between educating academic and analytical skills with the hands-on (i.e. practical) skills and the focus of the curriculum on working in teams create career opportunities besides the Aerospace industry also. | aerospace |

The Orbiter Space Simulator: An Appreciation
Apollo 11 CSM on the trip back from the moon
This appreciation of Orbiter was written in 2006, but remains up-to-date as of December 2009. Ironically, I discovered Orbiter just as development slowed down. Over the next three years, Orbiter did not release any new versions, and NASSP released a progression of betas. You'll see that, even in 2006, I had to search around a bit, as many people had dropped out of the community and their information had grown out of date. It's hard to keep a community-driven project going.
The first decade of the twenty-first century is an exciting time to be a space nut. Not only is the International Space Station whizzing overhead constantly, but China has launched men into orbit, and private spaceflight is finally getting off the ground. But even this frenzy of activity does not begin to approach the excitement of the 1960s, when the Apollo program launched men to the moon. Fortunately, we can relive and reenact the heady days of the Space Race through another technological wonder — the computer.
In 1995, director-producer Ron Howard introduced a whole new generation to the excitement of the Apollo program with his box-office smash Apollo 13, starring self-avowed space nut Tom Hanks as Commander Jim Lovell. Avoiding the use of NASA stock footage, the effects crew at Digital Domain used nascent digital techniques -- Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) and computer compositing -- to enhance traditional effects techniques of photographing spacecraft miniatures.
Three years later, Tom Hanks convinced HBO to invest in an excellent 12-hour miniseries on the Apollo programs, From the Earth to the Moon, which received a larger total budget than the earlier motion picture. Digital effects were used more extensively on the miniseries, which combined CGI effects with color-corrected stock footage for a docudrama look. Besides, Moore's Law meant that four times as much computer power had become available since the film.
Well, time continues marching on, and the expensive Silicon Graphics workstations of yesteryear now pale in comparison with the computers sitting on your desk. In 2000, Dr. Martin Schweiger of University College London began work on a 3D space simulator called Orbiter. Over the years, he has maintained it, added features, and most importantly, developed an architecture that allows for community-contributed add-ons. In fact, even the core feature of sound effects — launch rumbles, spacecraft ambient noise, communications chatter — is implemented as an add-on, written by Orbiter enthusiast Dan Steph.
Orbiter screenshot. T+0:09:20. The expended Saturn V second stage separates. The small jets of flame are the ullage thrusters.
The beauty of the simulator is that it provides a much deeper understanding and appreciation of the technology that got Apollo to the moon. I've been a space nut since I was six years old, when my father bought me a copy of The Omni Space Almanac. I've read about the technology in numerous books and articles, but no matter how exciting those descriptions were, they nevertheless remained words on paper. Orbiter, in contrast, provides the visceral thrill of being able to (virtually) flip the switches and push the keys on the DSKY, then actually see them take effect on the spacecraft. Spaceflight concepts that are usually difficult to understand become second-nature after they've been tried out in the simulator. Perplexing orbital mechanics that had previously been brain-twisters of 3D geometry now become intuitively obvious.
Microsoft Flight Simulator virtually buckles you in the pilot seat without having to shell out $100 an hour to rent a Cessna. Orbiter has taken the trail blazed by the long-since discontinued Microsoft Space Simulator (1994), and paved it into a multi-lane expressway. With Orbiter and its add-ons, you can (virtually) strap yourself into the astronaut's couch for $20 million less than it costs to fly along on a Soyuz mission to the International Space Station. In some ways, it's better. You can get a flying license and actually control a plane, but even the billionaire space tourists are mostly just sightseeing. This is truly a geeky thrill that will not be available for decades to come. | aerospace |

The purpose of this test launch was to demonstrate the commercial viability of this rocket as part of a NASA program to move a good deal of the space program into private enterprise. In fact, the success of this launch will secure for Orbital contracts for 8 resupply missions to the International Space Station, missions I believe are now being flown by Russia, which is being well compensated for same I’m sure, so it will be nice to see that money stay right here in the good ole US of A. But the part that still amazes me, astounds me actually, is that this entire effort is taking place on the northern border of the Eastern Shore, surrounded by the bucolic bays and salt meadows of the Assateague Wildlife Refuge, being as closely observed by the herd of Chincoteague wild ponies as by the throng of national media reporters staged here for this launch. Because as unlikely as it seems, something about the exact physical location of Wallops Island makes it one of the few places in the US which is perfectly positioned to most easily thrust a payload into orbit. Who would have thunk it ?
On Wednesday, after having rushed up to Wallops to see the first lift-off attempt which was unfortunately scrubbed at T minus 12 ( space jargon for cancelling the whole darn thing 12 minutes before the witching hour) because of an umbilical problem (more space lingo meaning the thingamajigg connecting to the back end might fall off too early ), we spent the rest of the evening having fun with our grandson, visiting the Refuge and having a seafood dinner at Wright’s. The flight was rescheduled for Saturday so once again, zip-zip, a one hour drive up to Wallops only to discover once we got there that it was cancelled again, this time because of excessive upper level winds ( space-speak for it’s too darn windy out there). Why on earth they couldn’t decide that an hour earlier rather than a half hour earlier is a mystery to me, but there we were again, launchless in Chincoteague.
NASA’s mission update website showed Sunday as the new reschedule date, with 5 pm designated as zero hour. So about 2 pm on Sunday we started trying to decide whether to make that whole two hour round trip for yet a third time. But since it just seemed so windy, leaves were rustling in the trees, the wind chime on the back deck was singing its little heart out, even our Soleri wind bell was clanging away, Hubby and I both agreed that no way are they doing to launch this thing today. Ha, talk about famous last words ! We flipped on NASA TV, channel 184 courtesy of Dish, about 4:30 just to double check. Voila’ , the countdown was pressing on ! I just couldn’t believe it, the mission had not been scrubbed because of the wind. And so after two false alarm trips to see the real thing, we were now going to have to watch it on TV instead of getting to see, hear and feel the entire experience parked just across Watt’s Bay from the actual launch pad. Anyway, I got my camera ready because we were pretty sure that if we rushed outside right after liftoff we would be able to see it by looking northeast across the lawn. And sure enough, there it was , streaking across the sky at a fair clip, 7900 mph according to the NASA commentator. Got a pretty good picture of the puffy white contrail, would much rather have had one of the lift-off, but it was exciting nevertheless. Congrats to all involved, a new day has dawned for Wallop’s Island, or I should say, for the the Eastern Shore’s new Mid-Atlantic Spaceport !

Meanwhile, it improves flight safety, and prevents people and objects from being injured or damaged by rotating propellers in the collision event. Thus, it is useful for beginners or when flying the drone indoors or in places with many obstacles.
Specially Made for DJI FPV: The propeller guard is manufactured exclusively for DJI FPV.
Convenient Design: The propeller guard is designed with a hole to uncover the indicator light, so there is no need to dismount the cage. Also,the front and rear integrated structure can keep the propeller protector stable and anti-shake in service status.
Lightweight Material: The whole set of the protector is made of plastic with good toughness and it weighs only 89g, which brings no burden to the drone and will not affect its normal flight.
Quick Installation: The dividual parts of the disassembled propeller guard are marked with A, B, A1, B1. Connect A and B first. Then insert the left feet of the drone into this combined part, DO make sure that the rear of the drone facing you during the installation. Thirdly, fasten the buckle respectively. The same goes for A1 and B1. | aerospace |

DGCA Issues SOPs for Airlines Amid Fog-Induced Flight Delays
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued standard operating procedures (SOPs) for airlines in response to frequent flight delays caused by foggy conditions, particularly at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi.
The SOPs require airlines to provide accurate real-time information on flight delays, published on their websites or communicated to affected passengers through SMS, WhatsApp, and email.
Airlines are advised to display updated information at airports and, in anticipation of delays, may cancel flights sufficiently in advance.
The move comes as 22 domestic flights from Delhi faced delays exceeding three hours due to reduced visibility from persistent fog. | aerospace |

SpaceX’s 16-foot-tall (4.9 meter) Crew Dragon capsule, atop a Falcon 9 rocket, lifted off from Florida’s Kennedy House Middle at 2:49 a.m. (0749 GMT), carrying a check dummy nicknamed Ripley.
The capsule efficiently separated from the rocket about 11 minutes later, sparking cheers within the management room, and commenced its journey to the house station.
“I virtually thought we’d fail. I believed possibly we’d have a 10 p.c probability of reaching orbit beginning out,” Silicon Valley billionaire Musk mentioned of his emotions when he based the house firm in 2002.
“I’m just a little emotionally exhausted as a result of that was tremendous annoying, however it labored,” he advised reporters after Saturday’s launch.
The house station’s three-member crew was anticipated to greet the capsule, carrying 400 kilos (181 kg) of provides and check gear, early Sunday morning, NASA mentioned.
Throughout its five-day keep, U.S. astronaut Anne McClain and Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques will run exams and examine Crew Dragon’s cabin.
NASA has awarded SpaceX and Boeing Co $6.eight billion to construct competing rocket and capsule techniques to launch astronauts into orbit from American soil for the primary time for the reason that U.S. House Shuttle was retired from service in 2011.
Both SpaceX or Boeing can have bragging rights as the primary non-public firm to launch people into house by itself rocket, though plans name for rockets constructed by each corporations to hold astronauts into house.
The launch techniques are geared toward ending U.S. reliance on Russian rockets for rides to the $100 billion orbital analysis laboratory, which flies about 250 miles (400 km) above Earth, at about $80 million per ticket.
Whereas Saturday’s SpaceX check mission is a vital step within the oft-delayed mission, there are questions on whether or not NASA can obtain its 2019 flight aim of manned flight.
Reuters reported on Feb. 21 that SpaceX and Boeing each should tackle vital design and security considerations earlier than they’ll fly people.
Early on Friday, Musk, who can be chief government officer of electrical carmaker Tesla, tweeted a photograph of the within of Crew Dragon capsule with Ripley strapped inside.
SpaceX mentioned the spacesuit for Ripley, apparently a reference to the protagonist within the science fiction film “Alien”, has been embedded with sensors round its head, neck, and backbone to watch how a flight would really feel for a human. | aerospace |

How long would it take to get to the Moon?
It takes about 3 days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. During that time a spacecraft travels at least 240,000 miles (386,400 kilometers) which is the distance between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends on the specific path chosen.
How far is Moon from Earth today?
As of September 22 2023, The Moon is 236,736 miles (380,908 kilometers) away from Earth, which is about 0.00254621910167 AU.
How far away is space?
- Why do you think getting to space is so difficult when it’s only 62 miles away? Answer: Space is 62 vertical miles away. It takes a lot of energy to overcome gravity for that distance and gain the speed required to stay in orbit (approximately 17,500 miles per hour) once you’ve arrived.
- How would the distance to space be different from Denver compared with Los Angeles? Answer: The distance to space from Denver is approximately 61 miles while it’s about 62 miles to space from Los Angeles. This is because Denver is 1 mile above sea level while Los Angeles is close to sea level.
How long until the Moon escapes the Earth?
The Earth no more orbits the Moon than the Sun orbits the Earth. At the speed the moon is moving away from Earth (3.8 centimeters a year), it would be completely out of Earth’s orbit in 50 billion years. However, the Sun is expected to become a red giant and engulf Earth and the Moon first, so it’s kind of irrelevant.
How long is a trip to Mars?
This shows an artist’s concept animation of the Perseverance cruise stage cruising to Mars. DISTANCE TRAVELED Loading. Loading. miles / km DISTANCE REMAINING Loading. Loading. miles / km The cruise phase begins after the spacecraft separates from the rocket, soon after launch.
The spacecraft departs Earth at a speed of about 24,600 mph (about 39,600 kph). The trip to Mars will take about seven months and about 300 million miles (480 million kilometers). During that journey, engineers have several opportunities to adjust the spacecraft’s flight path, to make sure its speed and direction are best for arrival at Jezero Crater on Mars.
The first tweak to the spacecraft’s flight path happens about 15 days after launch.
Can we see Earth from moon?
Henrike Holdrege – From In Context #18 (Fall, 2007) | View article as PDF I became interested in the earth as seen from the moon when I read two short paragraphs in the late Norman Davidson’s book, Sky Phenomena: A Guide to Naked-Eye Observation of the Stars,
Later I learned from Annelies Davidson, Norman’s wife, that Norman felt strongly about our responsibility to imagine worlds such as the moon and Mars, where human beings had set foot or landed technical equipment. In the following short essay I attempt to paint a picture of the visual relationship of the moon and earth.
All the facts mentioned can be known without traveling to the moon or making technical observations. In my reasoning I drew upon geometry and projective geometry, naked eye observations of our night sky, and studies of color phenomena following Goethe (in regard to which, see the article by Arthur Zajonc, ” Toward a Participative Science.” ) The moon in its illumination by the sun appears in our night sky from month to month in phases: new, waxing, full, waning, and new again.
The sun illuminates both moon and earth. And so the earth, seen from the moon, also appears in phases: full earth, waning earth, new earth, waxing earth and full earth again. When the moon is new for us, the earth is full for the moon; when the moon waxes, the earth wanes. The moon seen from the earth and the earth seen from the moon are complementary to each other: when the moon appears two-thirds illuminated, then the earth appears one-third illuminated.
Just as the moon shines onto the earth and brightens our night, the earth shines onto the moon. The earth shine is at its peak when the earth for the moon is full or almost full. We can observe this shine from down here on earth. The young crescent moon in the western sky on a clear night shows us the full moon disk: one part brightly lit by the sun, the other part, cradled in the bright crescent, dimly illuminated by the then almost full earth.
- The earth, having a diameter about 3.7 times larger than the diameter of the moon, should appear in the moon sky as a disk with an area about 13 times larger than the apparent moon in our night sky.
- The color of this large earth is blue, blue with white patches and streaks, offering different patterns of blue and white as the earth rotates on its axis and as cloud cover on earth changes.
The moon, when rising over our horizon, often can be seen orange or red through a hazy atmosphere, like our sun at dawn and dusk. Since the moon does not have an atmosphere, there is no dawn or dusk; the sun on the moon rises and sets in a flash. Also because there is no atmosphere, the moon sky is always black and never blue.
During the moon’s day, in the extremely bright sunlight that is not being diffused and softened, the moonscape has sharp black shadows and offers hardly any color. Picture now over the barren moonscape in the black sky the large earth in its beautifully refreshing and quiet colors of blue and white. However, from only little more than one half the moon globe is the earth visible at all.
That is the portion that always faces the earth, the side of the moon we see when we look up at the moon. The side that is always turned away from the earth never sees us. The moon, seen from the earth, moves across our sky. Depending on the season, it rises somewhere between the northeast and southeast and sets between the northwest and southwest.
- In winter, the full moon follows an arc about as high as the sun’s arc in summer; in summer the full moon makes an arc about as low as the sun’s in winter.
- The earth in the moon sky, however, does not rise or set.
- It remains almost stationary except for a small looping movement due to the moon’s libration.
Depending on the viewer’s location on the moon, the earth is either not visible at all or always positioned somewhere between close to the horizon and high in the sky. On earth, the sun rises and sets. On the moon, it also rises and sets. On earth, the full day lasts 24 hours.
On the moon, a moon day lasts much longer. From one sunrise to the next on the moon is 29.5 earth-days, a synodic month. For almost any place on the moon, the sun is up in the sky for about 15 earth-days, then down again for about 15 earth-days. The stars, too, rise and set and slowly make their arcs across the moon sky.
In the black moon sky, in daylight as at night, the blue and white earth is visible in its phases relating to the sun. And the earth alone, for the moon, rests in one place in the sky, rotating on its own axis. (See also Sky Phenomena: A Guide to Naked-Eye Observation of the Stars, by Norman Davidson.
How many flags are on the Moon?
A total of six flags have been planted on the Moon – one for each US Apollo landing.
Can a plane fly to space?
NASA – Why Can’t We Fly a Plane to Space? Why Can’t We Fly a Plane to Space? 01.08.04 This following is a question from the Phone Dr. MarcWeb site. The original answer can be found at, along with answers to many other space questions. Members of the Back Bay Astronomy Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia, say that people often ask this question.
|Image above: Cross Section of an Airplane Wing. Air Flows Faster Over the Top than Underneath, so it Uses Less Pressure. Higher Pressure Air Underneath the Wing Pushes it Up.
Airplanes can fly because of air. The air moving under their wings is strong enough to hold them up. An airplane wing is round on top. The bottom is flat. The plane’s engines push the wing forward. At the same time, air moves over and under the wing. The air going above the wing has to go a little farther than the air going below.
- This is because of the wing’s shape.
- The air molecules on top are a little farther apart.
- This makes the air there a little thinner.
- It also makes less pressure on the top of the wing.
- There is more pressure on the bottom.
- So what happens? The wing is pushed up by the air under it.
- Large planes can only fly as high as about 7.5 miles.
The air is too thin above that height. It would not hold the plane up. Some kinds of planes can fly much higher. One special NASA plane, Helios, flew to about 19 miles. This is far higher than any other plane has gone. At that height, the air is about 100 times thinner than at sea level.
|Image above: On August 13, 2001. Helios Flew Up to 96,863 Feet. That’s 18 Miles Straight Up!
Even a spacecraft in a low orbit is about 125 miles high. This is far above the thick air that we are used to. It is much higher than any plane can reach. You need a rocket to get to even the lowest Earth orbit. So, how is a rocket different from an airplane? Rockets do not need outside air to lift them.
- Rockets use some of the basic laws of nature.
- Scientist Isaac Newton discovered these laws over 300 years ago.
- One of these is called Newton’s third law.
- It says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- You can see this law when you blow up a balloon and let it go without tying it.
- The air rushes out of the mouth of the balloon.
The balloon flies the other way. This law also tells us how to build a powerful rocket. The rocket needs to shoot out a lot of material. It must come out at a high speed. And, it must come out in the direction opposite of the way we want the rocket to go.
|Image above: Rocket Carries a Fuel Tank. Fuel and Oxygen are Mixed Together and Ignited Combustion Chamber. Hot Gasses Shoot Out the Exhaust and Force the Rocket in the Opposite Direction.
Rockets make it possible to explore space. They also let us explore our own planet in ways we could never do even from an airplane. Visit, and click on “Do spacey things” to do a crossword about a “nine-eyed Earth watcher” that studies pollution in the atmosphere from space.
What existed before the Moon?
Earth-Moon distance explained by Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson #astronomy
Proto-Earth and Theia – Before Earth and the Moon, there were proto-Earth and Theia (a roughly Mars-sized planet). The giant-impact model suggests that at some point in Earth’s very early history, these two bodies collided. The Moon may have formed in the wake of a collision between an early proto-planet and an astronomical body called Theia. © Fernando Astasio Avila/ Shutterstock
- During this massive collision, nearly all of Earth and Theia melted and reformed as one body, with a small part of the new mass spinning off to become the Moon as we know it.
- Scientists have experimented with modelling the impact, changing the size of Theia to test what happens at different sizes and impact angles, trying to get the nearest possible match.
- ‘People are now tending to gravitate towards the idea that early Earth and Theia were made of almost exactly the same materials to begin with, as they were within the same neighbourhood as the solar system was forming,’ explains Sara.
- ‘If the two bodies had come from the same place and were made of similar stuff to begin with, this would also explain how similar their composition is.’
What if there was no moon?
What would happen to the seasons if the Moon disappeared? – Lastly and probably the most worrying, the Earth’s seasons could change substantially should the Moon disappear, We experience seasons on the Earth – spring, summer, autumn and winter – because the Earth is tilted,
- Relative to the plane we orbit the Sun, Earth’s tilt is about 23.5 degrees.
- It is the pull of the Moon’s gravity on the Earth that holds our planet in place.
- Without the Moon stabilising our tilt, it is possible that the Earth’s tilt could vary wildly,
- It would move from no tilt (which means no seasons) to a large tilt (which means extreme weather and even ice ages).
: What would happen if the Moon disappeared?
Can human survive in Mars?
The air on Mars – The Martian atmosphere is thin – its volume is only 1% of the Earth’s atmosphere. To put it another way, there’s 99% less air on Mars than on Earth. That’s partly because Mars is about half the size of Earth. Its gravity isn’t strong enough to keep atmospheric gases from escaping into space.
- And the most abundant gas in that thin air is carbon dioxide.
- For people on Earth, that’s a poisonous gas at high concentrations.
- Fortunately, it makes up far less than 1% of our atmosphere.
- But on Mars, carbon dioxide is 96% of the air! Meanwhile, Mars has almost no oxygen; it’s only one-tenth of one percent of the air, not nearly enough for humans to survive.
If you tried to breathe on the surface of Mars without a spacesuit supplying your oxygen – bad idea – you would die in an instant. You would suffocate, and because of the low atmospheric pressure, your blood would boil, both at about the same time. Billions of years ago, Mars’ Jezero Crater hosted an ancient lake.
Is Earth getting closer to the sun?
The effects of tides – Just as the moon ‘s gravitational pull results in tides on Earth, so does Earth’s gravity tug on the sun. This stretches the side of the sun that faces Earth, resulting in a “tidal bulge,” Britt Scharringhausen, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at Beloit College in Wisconsin, wrote for Cornell University’s Ask an Astronomer page.
The sun rotates on its axis about once every 27 days, according to NASA, Because this is faster than the 365 or so days it takes for Earth to complete an orbit around the sun, the tidal bulge Earth generates on the sun sits ahead of Earth. The bulge’s mass has a gravitational pull associated with it, tugging Earth ahead on its orbit and slinging it farther from the sun, Scharringhausen noted.
(A similar effect is leading Earth’s moon to slowly drift away from our planet,) However, these tidal forces have a very weak effect on Earth’s orbit: They cause Earth to move about 0.0001 inch (0.0003 cm) away from the sun every year, DiGiorgio calculated.
What is inside the Moon?
The Lunar Core – At the Moon’s center is a dense, metallic core. This core is largely composed of iron and some nickel. The Moon’s core is relatively small (about 20% of its diameter) compared to other terrestrial worlds (like Earth) with cores measuring closer to 50% of their diameters.
How long would it take to get to Venus?
The following is just a selection, click here for a complete list. The shortest time a spacecraft has taken to get to Venus from Earth is 109 days, or 3.5 months. The longest journey took 198 days or 6.5 months. Most journeys take between 120 and 130 days which is about 4 months.
How long would it take to get to Jupiter?
How long does it take to get to Jupiter? Jupiter with Io and Ganymede taken by amateur astronomer Damian Peach. Credit: NASA / Damian Peach We’re always talking about Pluto, or Saturn or Mars. But nobody ever seems to talk about Jupiter any more. Why is that? I mean, it’s the largest planet in the solar system.318 times the mass of the Earth has got to count for something, right? Right? Jupiter is one of the most important places in the,
The planet itself is impressive; with ancient cyclonic storms larger than the Earth, or a magnetosphere so powerful it defies comprehension. One of the most compelling reasons to visit Jupiter is because of its moons. Europa, Callisto and Ganymede might all contain vast oceans of liquid water underneath icy shells.
And as you probably know, wherever we find on Earth, we find life. And so, the icy moons of Jupiter are probably the best place to look for life in the entire solar system. And yet, as I record this video in early 2016, there are no spacecraft at Jupiter or its moons.
In fact, there haven’t been any there for years. The last spacecraft to visit Jupiter was NASA’s New Horizons in 2007. Mars is buzzing with orbiters and rovers, we just got close up pictures of Pluto! and yet we haven’t seen Jupiter close up in almost 10 years. What’s going on? Part of the problem is that Jupiter is really far away, and it takes a long time to get there.
How long? Let’s take a look at all the spacecraft that have ever made this journey. The first spacecraft to ever cross the gulf from the Earth to Jupiter was NASA’s Pioneer 10. It launched on March 3, 1972 and reached on December 3, 1973. That’s a total of 640 days of flight time.
- But Pioneer 10 was just flying by, on its way to explore the outer solar system.
- It came within 130,000 km of the planet, took the first close up pictures ever taken of Jupiter, and then continued on into deep space for another 11 years before NASA lost contact.
- Pioneer 11 took off a year later, and arrived a year later.
It made the journey in 606 days, making a much closer flyby, getting within 21,000 kilometers of Jupiter, and visiting Saturn too. Next came the Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 1 took only 546 days, arriving on March 5, 1979, and Voyager 2 took 688 days. NASA’s Juno spacecraft launched on August 6, 2011 and should arrive at Jupiter on July 4, 2016. Credit: NASA / JPL So, if you’re going to do a flyby, you’ll need about 550-650 days to make the journey. But if you actually want to slow down and go into orbit around Jupiter, you’ll need to take a much slower journey.
- The only spacecraft to ever stick around Jupiter was NASA’s Galileo spacecraft, which launched on October 18, 1989.
- Instead of taking the direct path to Jupiter, it made two gravitational assisting flybys of Earth and one of Venus to pick up speed, finally arriving at Jupiter on December 8, 1995.
- That’s a total of 2,242 days.
So why did Galileo take so much longer to get to Jupiter? It’s because you need to be going slow enough that when you reach Jupiter, you can actually enter orbit around the planet, and not just speed on past. And now, after this long period of Jupiterlessness, we’re about to have another spacecraft arrive at the massive planet and go into orbit.
NASA’s Juno spacecraft was launched back on August 5, 2011 and it’s been buzzing around the inner solar system, building up the velocity to make the journey to Jupiter. It did a flyby of Earth back in 2013, and if everything goes well, Juno will make its orbital insertion into the Jovian system on July 4, 2016.
Total flight time: 1,795 days. Once again, we’ll have a observing Jupiter and its moons. This is just the beginning. There are several more missions to Jupiter in the works. The European Space Agency will be launching the Jupiter Icy Moons Mission in 2022, which will take nearly 8 years to reach Jupiter by 2030.
NASA’s Europa Multiple-Flyby Mission will probably launch in the same timeframe, and spend its time orbiting Europa, trying to get a better understand the environment on Europa. It probably won’t be able to detect any life down there, beneath the ice, but it’ll figure out exactly where the ocean starts.
So, how long does it take to get to Jupiter? Around 600 days if you want to just do a flyby and aren’t planning to stick around, or about 2,000 days if you want to actually get into orbit.

Apollo 18 is hitting theaters on September 2nd and has just released a TV spot to get us ready for its release. The mission that no one knew existed is the latest Weinstein Sci-Fi/Horror flick and we here at DTB are anxiously waiting to see it. Read more for a clip of the space found footage film Apollo 18.
The Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego directed film follows a top secret space voyage to the moon and could lead to the reason why we have never returned. Check out the original synopsis of the film and look at the new teaser clip.
Synopsis: Officially, Apollo 17 — launched December 17th, 1972 — was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage that the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it’s the real reason we’ve never gone back to the moon.

ENGEO’s drone services include landslide mapping, creek erosion mapping, large-site reconnaissance, and earthworks tracking.
Drones, also known as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), have made significant inroads into the AEC world. Drones have enabled incredible gains in productivity, reduced the time and cost of many operations significantly, and unlocked entirely new service areas.
The ease of obtaining drones means that anyone who wants to use them for design and construction projects can get started quickly and cheaply. However, the reality is that there are nuances to getting the most accurate data out of the drone, and using drones always carries a certain level of risk that not everyone should undertake.
Many development projects today must carefully manage their legal and public relations profiles. With drones taking such a high-visibility position in public media today, clients have expressed a keen interest in limiting their legal exposure from drone operations on their projects. In response, ENGEO is instituting airline-style procedures focused on improving safety and managing our growing fleet of drones and pilots.

The People"s Liberation Army Air Force intends to expand its presence into space as part of its plan to become a world-class force, a senior officer said on Sunday.
Senior Colonel Wang Zhonghua, head of the Planning Bureau of the PLA Air Force"s Equipment Department, said at a news conference in Zhuhai, Guangdong province, that the Air Force spares no efforts in handling all threats, and is gearing up to extend its reach beyond the clouds and into space.
He said the Air Force is undergoing revolutionary changes that will generate a system that can function in future warfare scenarios.
The news conference coincided with the 69th anniversary of the Air Force"s founding and was part of the six-day 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition that concluded on Sunday in Zhuhai.
Lieutenant General Xu Anxiang, deputy commander of the Air Force, outlined a multiphase road map for building a strong, modern air force.
First, a strategic force will be established by 2020. It will have integrated air and space capability and balanced strength in both defensive and offensive operations.
When that is achieved, fourth-generation equipment will serve as the backbone of the Air Force"s arsenal. Information-based systematic combat capabilities will be enhanced, he said.
The Air Force categorizes its top weapons such as the J-20 stealth fighter jet and Y-20 strategic transport aircraft as fourth-generation equipment, while the J-10 and J-16 combat fighters are classified as third-generation.
In the following phase, the Air Force will further improve its strategic capability and modernize its organizational structure, human resources and weaponry. The building of a modern strategic air force will essentially be achieved by 2035, Xu said.
Ultimately, the Air Force will be fully transformed into a world-class force by the mid-21st century, he said.personalised wristbands festival wristbands for sale hen party wristbands wristband com woven wristbands | aerospace |

AGL is a consultancy specializing in aviation UX and development.
During my time at AGL, I worked with a startup focused on
managing and monitoring multiple drone operators in the same airspace
, which is also known as
UTM (Unmanned Aircraft Systems Traffic Management).
2021 - 2022
Low airspace management is an open terrain in need of effective solutions.
aviation industry is not well-equipped to handle low airspace operations,
which creates challenges for the successful deployment of drones in activities such as deliveries, police work and more.
A System to Ensure Safety in Low Airspace through Integrated Multi-Operator Drone Management
AI-based UTM/USSP solution
manages multiple drone operators in the same airspace safely, efficiently, and at scale while ensuring the highest level of safety.
The UX research challange
It's a new world, lacking comparable systems and user guidance.
Exploring the mostly unexplored area of low-altitude drone management needed creative thinking.
This included researching systems used for managing roads, cities, and ships. It also involved studying traditional civil aviation and finding lesser-known studies and companies that are already working on these types of systems.

Lonnie Shekhtman of NASA:
Look up to the night sky just before dawn, or after dusk, and you might see a faint column of light extending up from the horizon. That luminous glow is the zodiacal light, or sunlight reflected toward Earth by a cloud of tiny dust particles orbiting the Sun. Astronomers have long thought that the dust is brought into the inner solar system by a few of the asteroid and comet families that venture in from afar.
But now, a team of Juno scientists argues that Mars may be the culprit.
It’s an amazing story that involves a mission to Jupiter getting pelted by high-speed dust particles and an instrument meant to be measuring one thing that ended up measuring something quite different. The result, it seems, is that Mars dust pollutes our part of the solar system, so much so that at the right time of day you can see it.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) 한국항공우주산업 unveiled the first unit of KF-21 Boramae 보라매, a supersonic fighter jet. With KF-21, South Korea became the eighth country in the world to domestically develop a 4.5-generation fighter jet, 20 years after the Korean government began the country's indigenous fighter jet program under the Kim Dae-jung 김대중 administration.
Boramae 보라매, a northern goshawk, is the symbol of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) 대한민국 공군, the fifth largest air force in the world by number of military aircraft. Comparable to the F-18 of the United States, KF-21 is intended to replace ROKAF’s aging fleet of F-4 and F-5 fighters, which make up approximately 30% of South Korea’s 400+ combat aircraft. President Moon Jae-in 문재인 attended the unveiling ceremony held on April 9 at KAI’s production facilities located in Sacheon, Gyeongsangnam-do Province 경상남도 사천, and announced that 120 units of KF-21 will be deployed by 2032. | aerospace |

It marks the latest in a series of ambitious “sample return” missions conducted by a number of countries, which have as their goal to collect material from asteroids and other bodies in our Solar System and return them to Earth for careful study.
OSIRIS-REx was launched on September 8, 2016, five years after the project was selected by NASA to be the agency’s third mission of its New Frontiers program, beating out a sample return mission to the far side of the moon and a Venus lander. It spent two years cruising to Bennu, including two weeks in February 2017 during which the team used the spacecraft’s MapCam instrument to search for near-Earth asteroids.
While no new asteroids were found, the techniques developed were used to avoid potential hazards when OSIRIS-REx arrived at Bennu in December 2018. Throughout the month, the spacecraft was used for a detailed survey of Bennu, which has a diameter of only half a kilometer. The spacecraft then descended from an orbit of 19 kilometers to an orbit of 1 kilometer, beating the previous record set by the Rosetta spacecraft, which orbited comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at 7 kilometers.
A year later, NASA announced it had selected its primary and backup landing sites from which to retrieve a sample of the asteroid. Then in April and August of 2020, amid the first and second wave of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, OSIRIS-REx was used in two rehearsal landings, which took the spacecraft to 65 meters and 40 meters, respectively, above the surface of the asteroid.
The rehearsals were critical. At the time, Bennu was more than 320 million kilometers from Earth, more than the average distance between Earth and Mars, and two-way communication between OSIRIS-REx and its operators took more than 35 minutes. Given that gap, the entire landing and sample retrieval had to be pre-programmed and executed without direct human intervention. The rehearsals paid off and OSIRIS-REx collected an estimated 250 grams (about 8.8 ounces) of the asteroid as it “tagged” Bennu’s surface for five seconds before springing off, using essentially a highly sophisticated pogo stick.
That material is now safely back on Earth and remains ensconced in a capsule containing only nitrogen, to prevent contamination with material from Earth. The samples will ultimately be curated by NASA’s Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science directorate (ARES) and at Japan’s Extraterrestrial Sample Curation Center.
Moreover, the spacecraft’s mission is ongoing. Rather than wastefully end its life in a crash landing into Earth or other body, OSIRIS-REx is now on a trajectory to rendezvous the asteroid 99942 Apophis, a near-Earth asteroid that will make a close pass to Earth on April 13, 2029. It will spend 18 months orbiting the asteroid and is slated to use its thrusters to kick up material from Apophis’ surface to study what lies beneath.
Bennu was selected as the target of OSIRIS-REx because it has undergone almost no geological evolution since the formation of the Solar System. It is made up primarily of compounds containing carbon, one of the key elements of organic life, and thought to have existed before the formation of Earth. It is possible that complex carbon-based molecules were collected, including amino acids, which are the building blocks of all known life.
Asteroids and comets are carefully studied largely for these reasons. Unlike Earth, the other planets and even several moons, asteroids are largely unchanged over hundreds of millions and even billions of years. Comets are similarly preserved when they are not close enough to the Sun to have their tails. Each is a definite piece in the puzzle of the Solar System’s formation and provides further insight into how the entire complex of star, planets and lesser bodies, and its living inhabitants, developed.
One of the many other reasons that spacecraft are sent to study asteroids is to compare the in situ data to that collected from the Earth. While there are numerous observations of asteroids from telescopes, the distance and atmosphere makes the light reflected far more difficult to interpret. By studying Bennu up close, measurements from OSIRIS-REx can be compared with those from ground-based telescopes and used to better understand similar observations of other asteroids.
Data from OSIRIS-REx was also used to study the Yarkovsky effect, which is a force that acts on small asteroids as a result of uneven thermal emissions from the body. While the effect is very small, it has a definite impact on the orbit of bodies around Bennu’s size. This is especially important for asteroids that cross Earth’s orbit; the gravitational influence of other bodies on these relatively small objects is well known, but the influence of forces like the Yarkovsky effect is far less so. Understanding this mechanism helps track objects that might be on a collision course with Earth and, if need be, deflect them.
There have been several other sample return missions. The most famous are of course the manned Apollo landings, which brought back several hundred kilograms of rocks and lunar regolith (the Moon’s “soil”). Those samples have been intensely studied since they were first brought back in the late 1960s. A renewed effort was launched in 2019 when lunar samples from that era that had been sealed away were opened for study, allowing the more advanced scientific instruments of the modern era to undertake investigations that technology from 50 years ago simply couldn’t.
The first robotic sample return mission was in 1970 when the Soviet mission Luna 16 returned 101 grams of lunar soil. The achievement was followed up in 1974 by Luna 20, which returned 55 grams, and in 1976 by Luna 24, which returned 170 grams. While they returned far less lunar material than the Apollo program, the Luna missions paved the way for further robotic sample return missions.
Despite their scientific value, there were no sample return missions in the 1980s. Only one was conducted in the 1990s, when the Soviet-launched Mir space station used an aerogel to capture interplanetary dust in low Earth orbit. In 2004, the Genesis spacecraft returned particles from the solar wind and in 2006, the Stardust spacecraft returned dust samples from the tails of the comet 81P/Wild.
The modern sample return missions began when the Hayabusa probe from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) brought back a small number of particles from asteroid 25143 Itokawa, despite the failure of the sampling device. Hayabusa was followed by Hayabusa2, which deployed two small rovers on the surface of asteroid 162173 Ryugu and returned a sample of Ryugu to Earth in December 2020. Both missions were the first successful sample returns from an asteroid.
Several future sample return missions are planned. JAXA is slated to launch its MMX mission to Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars, in 2024 and return a sample from Phobos that will reach Earth in 2029. China has sample return missions planned for the Moon, Mars and the asteroid Ceres throughout the 2020s and 2030s. Russia has a new Luna-Glob mission which will bring back new samples from the Moon in 2027. And NASA and the European Space Agency are planning on retrieving the samples collected by the Perseverance Mars rover in the late 2020s.
In a rational world, these missions would be universally celebrated. Under capitalism, however, they are seen by the ruling elite as further instances of geopolitical rivalry. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson focused on the fact that the mission was “the first American asteroid sample return in history,” as if space exploration does not build on itself in an inherently international process.
Nor was any mention made of the paltry sums spent on the project, about $1 billion so far, compared to the nearly $1,000 billion squandered at the Department of Defense every year, including $30 billion to the Space Force. One can only imagine what will be achieved and discovered when such vast sums are spent for exploration instead of destruction, a future well worth fighting for. | aerospace |

Menzies Aviation has revealed that its joint venture with Iraqi Airways, MASIL, has begun freight operations at Baghdad International Airport, alongside the launch of its ‘Cargo Go Live’ scheme.
The collaborative project – which is also made up of Air BP Limited and construction company, Al Burhan Group – initiated services at the West Asia hub in January. This was after being awarded a contract by the Iraqi Civil Aviation Authority (ICAA) for the delivery of specialised facilities.
Freight solutions will be provided by a team of 65 employees to customers including Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, DHL, MNG Airlines, Silk Way Airlines, Egypt Air, Middle East Airlines, Royal Jordanian and flydubai.
Charles Wyley, EVP Middle East, Asia and Africa at Menzies Aviation, said: “We are delighted that our cargo operations have now gone live at Baghdad International Airport, following a lot of hard work and dedication from the MASIL team. As we begin to support our cargo customers at Baghdad, we are also delivering against our objective of developing the airport’s operating procedures and training schemes.
“Our cargo manifesto, which sets out our strategy for developing a world-class air cargo facility, will see us sharing our deep experience and knowledge to build a safe, compliant and sustainable cargo operation at Baghdad.”
Training modules have been made available to the workforce under the ‘Cargo Go Live’ initiative, which comprises dangerous goods, safety management, security and specialised handling techniques. These are set to enhance customer experience and safety measures.
There are also plans to implement new technological systems at the airport that will help streamline processes. | aerospace |

A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single main wing plane. In general layout the machine resembled modern aircraft design: monoplane rather than biplane; tractor rather than pusher propeller. Witnesses tended to agree that the flying machine had no tail section.
A monoplane has inherently the highest efficiency and lowest drag of any wing configuration and is the simplest to build. | aerospace |

Attitude determination for small spacecraft in the 1-5 kilogram range is one of the major technological challenges limiting their utility for a variety of missions. In prior work, we have developed a visual approach for attitude propagation. By tracking the motion of stars in a camera’s field of view, the rotation of the spacecraft can be found in three degrees of freedom. We refer to the approach as a stellar gyroscope. The proposed work builds on the prior success and findings to pursue a promising new topology. Essentially, we will miniaturize the sensor nodes and lenses to design a camera in the size range of modern smartphone cameras capable of star imaging while utilizing the stellar gyroscope algorithm’s noise tolerance in post-processing. This will allow small spacecraft to incorporate up to one camera on each side if needed, with one centralized image processing subsystem. | aerospace |

CNBC reports the Federal Court of Claims has ruled against Blue Origin, dismissing the company’s claims. While the opinion is currently sealed, Blue Origin’s case had revolved around accusations NASA ignored “key flight safety requirements” when handing the Human Landing System to SpaceX.
The opinion will be publicly available sometime after November 18th, when both sides of the lawsuit are expected to supply redactions. NASA put SpaceX’s work on hold following the lawsuit, but efforts should resume November 8th.
Blue Origin previously challenged the contract through the Government Accountability Office only to be rejected in July, leading Jeff Bezos’ outfit to respond with a lawsuit. The firm even tried drastically undercutting SpaceX with a $2 billion bid, arguing at the time that NASA has historically awarded contracts to multiple partners to make sure a mission launches on time.

It will be a great addition to any drone owner’s arsenal, especially when the new generation of drones becomes more affordable and popular.
Currently, the sky delivery is available only to customers who are certified as having an airworthiness certificate, but this certification will be required for any drone that is to be flown by the public in the future.
The FAA will require drone operators to pass the FAA-certified drone operator exam.
With sky delivery, it’s possible to send a drone to your doorstep from a drone with a sky delivery company and receive it within a matter of hours.
This technology will help ensure the safety of our skies and make drone flying safer for everyone.
While there are currently a few drone makers competing in the sky-delivery market, most of the competition is coming from companies that are not certified by the FAA.
Sky delivery is also an option that is available for those that have a certification in the FAA’s Aviation Safety Administration (ASA).
The Sky Delivery Certification Program is intended to help ensure safety and minimize the risk of crashes and injuries.
Drones will have to pass a stringent set of requirements before they can be used as part of an aerial drone operation.
The FAA is requiring a minimum of a two-year pilot license, as well as a personal log book and GPS tracking device.
The FAA also requires that the drone be capable of using a single pilot, and the pilot must be able to fly the drone at least 150 feet in altitude, in a straight line, and without deviation from the flight path of the aircraft.
The new FAA certification will require the drone to be equipped with a flight system capable of detecting and tracking the drone’s position and direction of flight.
The certification is not required for drones that are flown by private individuals.
According to the FAA, a drone can only fly over a restricted area within the designated airspace.
There are some exceptions to the rules though, and a drone that flies over an area where a private party is permitted to operate would be eligible for certification.
In order to receive certification, a pilot must have completed an FAA-approved flight training course.
The instructor must also complete a special training program.
The course must include at least one 20-hour training session, as opposed to a single 20-minute session.
The training is for a minimum period of time, which can range from two to three months, depending on the aircraft manufacturer.
The drone is then flown to the location of the FAA certification.
The drone is returned to its owner, who is then allowed to fly it within their airspace.
The certification process is administered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Once a drone is certified, the FAA will then require the FAA to approve the drone for use by the general public.
This process can take anywhere from two months to three years.
The final approval for the FAA approval is based on an FAA analysis of the drone.
The Federal Aviation Authority (FAAA) is the Federal agency that oversees drone use in the United States.
A number of other companies, including Drones Unlimited, FlySafe, and DroneFly, are vying for the sky deliver drone market.
As of October 1, there were over 10,000 drone flights conducted by drone operators in the U.S.
According to Drones USA, the total number of sky delivery flights in the country had increased by nearly 20 percent in the past year. | aerospace |

Also on board will be the Lightsail 2, a crowd-funded solar-sail test mission that’s currently been promoted by Bill Nye. The spacecraft will be the first to be propelled solely by sunlight. The Japanese spacecraft Ikaros previously used a solar sail, but Lightsail will be the first to run exclusively on solar technology. I’ll let Bill explain it:
Additionally, the Falcon Heavy will also be bringing a Deep Space Atomic Clock into the orbit which can potentially be used to help future spacecraft navigate to destinations far away.
If you want to watch all the action, you’ll need to stay up late. The Falcon Heavy’s launch is expected to take place at 11:30pm ET/8:30pm PT. A livestream of the event will be on NASA’s website as well as it’s You Tube channel (embedded below).
If you miss it, you’ll also be able to catch a recording of the event on NASA’s YouTube channel later in the week.

July marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission which successfully landed two astronauts on the moon, and Lego is one of countless companies hoping to cash in on the accomplishment with a new 1,087-piece set that recreates the Lunar Lander with an impressive amount of detailing. But I’m a little disappointed the included Lego minifigures look like astronauts transplanted from a futuristic sci-fi movie.
Officially available starting June 1 for $100, the set includes the Apollo 11 Eagle lunar module with detachable ascent and descent stages so you can recreate the historic mission again and again. But for those times when you’re not procrastinating at work, the set also serves as a desk-friendly collectible allowing you to perch and display the lunar lander on an included replica of the moon’s surface—complete with craters, footprints, and a US flag.
There’s a respectable level of detail here for what is technically a children’s building toy, and Lego has even gone to the trouble of creating special gold versions of several parts so that the Lunar Lander set looks as accurate as possible. You won’t be fooling anyone if you try to use the model to snap fake moon landing photos, but for $100 it also doesn’t require you to break out the hobby knives, glue, or paint.
What’s disappointing, however, are the tiny spacesuits worn by the set’s astronaut minifigures. They’re the same spacesuit helmets used in other Lego sets, including a series of futuristic Mars-based playsets also released today. The included Apollo 11 minifigures are slightly different, but the set would have felt even more authentic had Lego gone the extra mile and created custom minifigure astronauts with spacesuits that more closely resembled what the real Apollo-era astronauts wore. The company churns out hundreds of new minifigures every year across its various sets and collectible series, so a retro spacesuit doesn’t seem like too egregious a request.
The twisting terrain of Vera Rubin Ridge on Mars has been home to NASA’s Curiosity for over a year, but it’s time for the rover to move on. As a final gesture before trekking toward a nearby region rich in clay, the probe captured a stunning 360-degree panorama of its final worksite at the ridge.
Curiosity is in Gale Crater where it’s been exploring iron-rich minerals in Vera Rubin Ridge for well over a year. Data gathered by the probe suggests rocks within this ridge formed from sediment that collected at the bottom of a now-dried up Martian lake. As to why these rocks aren’t eroding at the same rate of the bedrock around it, however, remains a mystery.
Having explored the area in detail, project scientists at NASA have now directed the probe to head towards a new region—a “clay-bearing unit” dubbed Glen Torridon, according to a NASA release. The rover will spend around a year exploring this region in its ongoing search for signs of prior habitability.
On December 19, 2018, Curiosity used its Mast Camera to capture a 360-degree panoramic image of its final work area at Vera Rubin Ridge, specifically a drill site known as Rock Hall. The composite image consists of 112 photographs, showing the future work area, the floor of Gale Crater, and the majestic Mount Sharp in the background. The colors in the image were adjusted to show what the rocks and sand would look like under daylight conditions on Earth.
Curiosity’s new work area, described as a trough between Vera Rubin Ridge and the mountainous area surrounding the crater, looks promising in terms of its scientific potential. Prior surveys made by NASA’s Mars orbiter suggest the rocks in this region are filled with phyllosilicates—clay minerals that form in water. Data collected at Glen Torridon could tell us more about the ancient lakes that once peppered Gale Crater during the early history of the Red Planet.
“In addition to indicating a previously wet environment, clay minerals are known to trap and preserve organic molecules,” Curiosity project scientist Ashwin Vasavada said in a statement. “That makes this area especially promising, and the team is already surveying the area for its next drill site.”
Indeed, Curiosity has already uncovered traces of clay minerals and organic molecules on Mars. On their own, organics aren’t suggestive of life, but they are the raw ingredients required for life. The prior presence of liquid water and organic molecules on the surface suggests the planet was once capable of fostering life, but more data is required to prove it. By exploring the clay-rich deposits at Glen Torridon, Curiosity may uncover evidence of the prior environments in which this hypothesized Martian life could have emerged.
If scientists can ever prove that Mars was once habitable (as opposed to actually fostering life—those are two different things), it means our Solar System once hosted at least two planets capable of hosting life. That’s a huge deal if true, with serious ramifications to our understanding of the Universe’s potential to bear life in general. To that end: Trek on Curiosity, trek on. | aerospace |

Passengers on a recent Singapore Airlines flight were left surrounded by a chaotic mess after their flight fell 20 metres when it hit severe turbulence.
A total of 11 passengers and one crew member were injured on flight SQ308 from Singapore to London last Sunday.

HOW TURBULENCE CAN STRIKE AIRCRAFT AT ANY TIME
Turbulence during air travel is caused when bodies of air moving at different speeds meet and cause movements in the atmosphere.
The phenomenon is most common in jet streams and near mountain ranges, as these tend to cause more disruption in the air.
Turbulence can also be caused by thunderstorms, although these are more easily avoided as they can be tracked by technology.
It is experienced on nearly every commercial flight, but is usually not dangerous as pilots can escape it within minutes.
However, a tiny handful of incidents have caused serious injuries or even death.
BOAC Flight 911 crashed near Mt Fuji in Japan in 1966 after flying through severe storms, killing all 124 people on board.
More recently, a passenger on United Airlines Flight 826 died from her injuries in 1997 after the aircraft dropped 30 metres in the middle of the flight.
Flight attendants were told to immediately take their seats just before the aircraft hit the turbulence

2 K). Its initial destination is ESA’s Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC
), about 600 kilometres from CERN. Some 20 members of the AMS collaboration followed the detector on its journey, five of them in a car right behind the truck at a speed of 45 km/h. AMS’ journey took four days and was carried out by a German company that had already transported the AMS magnet and parts of the CMS detector.
While waving goodbye to the truck, the collaboration members who were busy preparing the special shipment for the last three days hoped never to see the detector at CERN again. Indeed, this will mean that AMS has received the “go-ahead” for the next leg to KSC.

At ESTEC AMS will be placed in ESA’s thermo-vacuum room that simulates space vacuum to test the detector’s capacity to exchange heat and thus maintain its thermal balance, which is essential to the functioning of the detector’s electronics and especially its unique superconducting magnet, the first of its kind to be launched into space. If all goes well, towards the end of May the detector will embark on a journey to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a C5 aircraft owned by the US Air Force. There, it will prepare to board space shuttle Discovery, on its last-but-one flight (mission STS-134
) before the programme is terminated by NASA. Lift-off is scheduled for July.
Once docked to the ISS, AMS will examine fundamental issues about matter and the origin and structure of the Universe directly from space. Its main scientific target is the search for dark matter and antimatter, in a programme that is complementary to that of the Large Hadron Collider. AMS data from space will be transmitted from the ISS to Houston, USA, and on to CERN, where the detector control centre will be located, and to a number of regional physics analysis centres set up by the collaborating institutes.

The AMS detector components were constructed by an international team with significant contributions from CERN Member States France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Switzerland, as well as China and the USA. Assembly and testing with beam was carried out at CERN with help from the Laboratory’s engineering services. In particular, protons from the SPS were used to check the detector’s momentum resolution, thus confirming the spectrometer’s ability to measure particle curvature and momentum. AMS’s ability to distinguish electrons from protons was also tested at CERN. This is very important for the measurement of cosmic rays, 90% of which are protons and constitute a natural background for other signals that AMS scientists are interested in.

From Cropduster to Airline Captain, The Biography of Captain LeRoy H. Brown
By LeRoy H. Brown and Dr. Leo F. Murphy
In 1936 a wide-eyed boy by the name of LeRoy Brown clambered aboard a 1929 Waco 10 converted to crop dusting duty, sat down in the grimy hopper, and then launched into a clear-blue Florida sky on a wondrous flight that ignited a life-long passion with flying and airplanes. More than 35,000 flight hours later, Captain LeRoy Brown stepped out of the cockpit of a Pan American World Airways DC-10 to end a commercial aviation career that spanned nearly five decades. In between he filled dozens of logbooks, with exciting tales of flying biplane crop dusters, B-17 freight haulers, old airliners, surplus military trainers, state-of-the-art propeller and jet airliners, and more than 150 personally owned airplanes.
Packed with photographs and generous sidebars of supplemental information, From Crop Duster to Airline Captain chronicles the life and flying stories of Captain LeRoy Brown, 2009 inductee into the Florida Aviation Historical Association Hall of Fame and 2012 recipient of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.
Captain Brown truly has lived the "perfect aviation life." He started watching classic biplanes dust fields in southern Florida and worked his way into the good graces of many duster pilots along the way. In perfecting his friendship with many of the early agpilots, he soon found himself helping them take care of the airplanes, later riding along and operating the hopper, and finally, becoming a duster pilot himself.
From Cubs to Jets, Essays From a Life in the Air
By Joe Clark
Do you like to fly? Are you into aviation? Might you want to teach as a flight instructor? How about reading articles about aviation? Have an interest in aviation history? If so, you may find this book interesting. It is, after all, about the art and joy of flying.
I started my blog in August 2010 after watching the movie Julie & Julia. The movie actually made me feel guilty for not having done what I was supposed to do a long time ago—namely—write about airplanes, flying, teaching aviation techniques, and basically having fun in the sky. There is only one reason for this book. It is to allow those who prefer books to computers and Kindles an option for reading flying stories from the blog.
Many around the world responded very positively about the aviation writings of the blog. From one of the readers of the blog:
I enjoy reading your articles on the antique planes and general aviation. I own an Aeronca 7AC and enjoy writing about my travels and exploits. I post them on my website http://www.lownslowpilot.com. I’ve thought about writing a book regarding these travels and the 30 years of flying taildraggers, but I get lost in the ramifications of doing such. I appreciate your insight you share and enjoy the posts.

But lately the blue yonder hasn’t been wild at all … it’s been downright dull. Pete’s like a jaded Clark Gable who’s hungry for adventure—and he’s about to get his fill.
Pete has fallen into a rut, flying the same route—New York to D.C.—with the same passengers, day after day after day. He might as well be driving a bus … until “her highness” climbs aboard. Apparently a princess, she’s the Carole Lombard to Pete’s Clark Gable, and for one flight, she’s bought up every ticket on the plane.
Once Pete gets her into the air, the action heats up fast. He learns that the lady is at the center of some international intrigue that could turn the tide of war … and now a mysterious plane is on their tail, bent on shooting them out of the sky. But that’s the least of Pete’s concerns. There’s more to this princess than meets the eye, and falling in love with her could turn out to be the greatest flight risk of all.

The Battling Pilot Glossary
The Stories from the Golden Age series reflect the words and expressions used in the 1930s and 1940s, adding unique flavor and authenticity to the tales. While a character’s speech may often reflect regional origins, it also can convey attitudes common in the day. So that readers can better grasp such cultural and historical terms, uncommon words or expressions of the era, the following glossary has been provided.
aileron: a hinged flap on the trailing edge of an aircraft wing, used to control banking movements.
Alleghenies: Allegheny Mountains; a mountain range comprising the western part of the Appalachian Mountains. The range extends about 500 miles (805 km) from northern Pennsylvania to southwest Virginia.
Anacostia: a neighborhood located in the southeast area of Washington, DC. It is located east of the Anacostia River, which flows from Maryland into Washington, DC and joins the Potomac River. This area also contained a narrow plain along the river where the Navy’s Anacostia Naval Air Station and the Army’s Bolling Field resided originally established in 1917 and 1918.
beam: an early form of radio navigation using beacons to define navigational airways. A pilot flew for 100 miles guided by the beacon behind him and then tuned in the beacon ahead for the next 100 miles. The beacons transmitted two Morse code signals, the letter “A” and the letter “N.” When the aircraft was centered on the airway, these two signals merged into a steady, monotonous tone. If the aircraft drifted off course to one side, the Morse code for the letter “A” could be faintly heard. Straying to the opposite side produced the “N” Morse code signal.
Bolling: Bolling Field; established in 1918, and named in honor of the first high-ranking air service officer killed in World War I. The Army’s Bolling Field resided on east bank of the Anacostia River sharing an open plain with the Navy’s Anacostia Naval Air Station. Bolling served as a research and testing ground for new aviation equipment and its first mission provided aerial defense of the capital.
club: airplane propeller.
cowl: the removable metal housing of an aircraft engine, often designed as part of the airplane’s body, containing the cockpit, passenger seating and cargo but excluding the wings.
cowl gun: a gun installed inside the cowl (metal covering over the engine) of an airplane.
D of C or Department of Commerce: the department of the US federal government that promotes and administers domestic and foreign commerce. In 1926, Congress passed an Air Commerce Act that gave the US Department of commerce some regulation over air facilities, the authority to establish air traffic rules and the authority to issue licenses and certificates.
dihedral: the upward or downward inclination of an aircraft wing from true horizontal, which is a self-stabilizing feature in the wing design. As the plane rolls to one side, the lower part of the wing starts to get more lift and then brings itself back up.
fins: fixed vertical surfaces at the tail of an aircraft that give stability, and to which the rudders are attached.
.45 Colt: a .45-caliber automatic pistol manufactured by the Colt Firearms Company of Hartford, Connecticut. Colt was founded by Samuel Colt (1814–1862), who revolutionized the firearms industry.
gow up: to make sticky or mess something up. From gow, meaning opium or sap; the sticky brown resin harvested from poppies. Used figuratively.
ground loop: a sharp horizontal turn made by an aircraft on the ground when taxiing, landing or taking off.
key: a hand-operated device used to transmit Morse code messages.
kite: an airplane.
lady-in-waiting: a lady who is in attendance upon a queen or princess.
Luger: a German semiautomatic pistol introduced before World War I and named after German firearms expert George Luger (1849–1923).
minstrel show end man: a man at each end of the line of performers in a minstrel show who engages in comic banter with the master of ceremonies. A minstrel show is a comic variety show presenting jokes, songs, dances and skits, usually by white actors in blackface.
office: cockpit of an aircraft.
rudder: a device used to steer ships or aircraft. A rudder is a flat plane or sheet of material attached with hinges to the craft’s stern or tail. In typical aircraft, pedals operate rudders via mechanical linkages.
rumrunners: people or ships engaged in bringing prohibited liquor ashore or across a border.
sideslip: (of an aircraft when excessively banked) to slide sideways, toward the center of the curve while in turning.
slipstream: the airstream pushed back by a revolving aircraft propeller.
Split-S: one of the oldest air combat maneuvers used to disengage from combat. To execute a Split-S, the pilot rolls his aircraft inverted and then executes a half-loop, resulting in the aircraft flying level in the opposite direction.
stevedoring: loading or unloading of a vessel.
three points: three-point landing; an airplane landing in which the two main wheels and the nose wheel all touch the ground simultaneously.
tracer: a bullet or shell whose course is made visible by a trail of flames or smoke, used to assist in aiming.
Western Front: term used during World War I and II to describe the “contested armed frontier” (otherwise known as “the front”) between lands controlled by the Germans to the East and the Allies to the West in Europe. In World War I, both sides dug in along a meandering line of fortified trenches stretching from the coast of the North Sea, southward to the Swiss border that was the Western Front. This line remained essentially unchanged for most of the war. In 1918 the relentless advance of the Allied armies persuaded the German commanders that defeat was inevitable and the government was forced to request armistice.
wingover: also known as the Immelmann turn; an aerial maneuver named after World War I flying ace Max Immelmann. The pilot pulls the aircraft into a vertical climb, applying full rudder as the speed drops, then rolls the aircraft while pulling back slightly on the stick, causing the aircraft to dive back down in the opposite direction. It has become one of the most popular aerial maneuvers in the world. | aerospace |

(WOOD) — Western Michigan University is just weeks away from opening a new multimillion-dollar expansion at its College of Aviation campus in Battle Creek.
The majority of the $20 million cost is being covered through state funding, with the university contributing as well.
Tom Thinnes, the recruitment manager for the college, says the building will provide additional space needed for future growth.
“The original education aviation center was just over 16,000 square feet. With the new improvements to the building and the additions to the building, we’re going to have an education aviation center that’s over 60,000 square feet,” Thinnes said. “We’re going to go from four classrooms to 11 classrooms. We’re going to see an improved simulator bay.”
The space will also have a plane paint lab, something few aviation programs in the country offer.
Suzie Targosz a flight instructor at the college and recent graduate, said new spaces like briefing rooms will be helpful for pre- and post-flight meetings with her students.
“It’s really exciting. It’s really cool to see the old building where I took a lot of my classes and I spent a lot of time and see this new beautiful building,” Targosz said.
One of the university’s partners, United Airlines, says it plans to hire 10,000 pilots this decade, as well as more workers to fill crucial positions on the ground like technicians and roles in operations. The Federal Aviation Administration requires pilots to retire at age 65, which is adding to the number of openings.
“The demand in aviation is significant. The jobs out there are tremendous. Once we get through the COVID craziness, the airline industry will recover. It is already recovering,” Thinnes said.
Aviation student Hunter Hayes will graduate in December and sees opportunities in industry.
“It’s been a slow year in the aviation industry but it’s definitely going to expand and continue to expand after that. All the trajectories are saying coming in the next couple months and years to follow there’s going to be a huge increase in demand in pilots and all aviation related careers,” Hayes said.
The college hopes the facility improvements can set the program apart and allow for growth.
“I’m biased. I think we’re the best flight school, but I think this will definitely open up a lot of doors and I think it will attract a lot of future students and I think that we can accommodate those students now,” Targosz said.
The college expects to open the expansion in early May. | aerospace |

Apollo 11 lifts of from Cape Canaveral, Florida. I still remember the images from TV and being so facinated that something as large as the Saturn V spacecraft could actually leave the planet. This made me very interested in rockets and spaceflight and I started to read everything I could find in our city library related to these topics.
A couple of years later I was in the library at Hilliard (Ohio) Middle School reading a magazine about model airplanes. In this mag was an advertisement about model rockets and a company called Estes Industries. Wow - a company that makes actual flying rocket kits and the motors that power them ! I talked to my Mom and Dad at dinner that night and the following weekend my Dad took me to Tom Thumb Hobbies in Columbus to check out this hobby. Naturally, not knowing anything about model rocketry at the time, I wanted the coolest rocket they had on the shelf - an Estes "Orbital Transport". Fortunately for me, the stores rocketry expert was able to talk me into choosing a kit made for a beginner and we instead settled on an Estes Alpha kit. This was a much easier kit to build and my first flight, at the playground of Brown Elementary School, was a total success.
Over the next several years as I built and flew several more kits, my building and flying skills got better and better. I also joined the newly formed Rocket Club at Hilliard Junior High. Our instructor, the schools Physics teacher, taught us about propulsion, aerodynamics and for me, the most interesting thing of all - stability. For a self guided rocket to be stable and fly straight, its Center of Mass MUST be forward of its Center of Aerodynamic Pressure. Once I understood this critical principle, I was no longer confined to just building pre made kits. Now I was free to start designing and flying my own rockets ! I kept a note book with all my designs, hand drawn, that I built and flew. I have no idea where that book is now but it sure would be fun to look at it almost 40 years later.
I pretty much stayed involved with the hobby with a few lapses during college and aviation maintenance schooling. But by the mid 90's I was starting to loose interest. The biggest motor I could find was still the Estes "D" motor. When you're 12 years old the D motor is very cool. When you're 35 and been flying rockets for a good chunk of those years, the D motor becomes a bit routine. And then, in the Fall of 1997, it happened ! I was living and working in Springfield, IL and still flying hobby rockets. I struck up a rocketry conversation at work one day with a guy that was also into rockets. He invited me to a local launch the coming Saturday and, of course, I accepted. So on Saturday morning I loaded up my fleet of little rockets and launch equipment and drove out to a large field outside town. When I got there I saw guys with rockets that were huge !! The first one I saw was 7 feet tall and 4 inches in diameter. I sort of figured that this rocket needed something bigger than a D motor so I started asking the guy that built it a ton of questions. And that was my introduction to High Power rocketry, composite propellant high thrust motors and FAA airspace waivers. I was just totally blown away by these big rockets. I did not fly any rockets that day - I did not even get any equipment out of my car. I was like a human sponge just absorbing all the information that I was given that day. Soon after that launch, I bought a mid power rocket kit called The Initiator, from Aerotech and a reloadable motor system. After the first flight on a G-64 APCP (ammonium perchlorate composite propellant) motor to about 2000 feet, I was hooked !! I can't tell you how many time the Initiator flew but it was alot. I had to make several repairs along the way and finally last year I had to retire it. It was simply worn out. I did re-use the nose cone when I built the Cherokee G.
In the Fall of 1999 I obtained my Level 1 High Power Rocketry certification using a high power kit from Binder Design called the Sentinel flying on an Aerotech H123. And 2 years later obtained my Level 2 certification with the rocket in this picture flying on an Aerotech J350. By the time I was ready to do the Level 2, I figured I had enough experience to skip the kit. The rocket is designed by me -no kit- is 9 and 1/2 feet tall and weighs about 15 pounds at liftoff.
I am a member of the National Association of Rocketry and belong to 2 local rocketry clubs. Both clubs support low, mid and high power rocketry as well as being family friendly. My son, Alex, also likes to fly rockets and is starting to ask me alot of questions about the big ones we see at the launches we attend. Supprting kids is one of the best things about the NAR and the local clubs. The kids flying now are the future of the hobby and who knows, maybe NASA....... | aerospace |

Heh, heh, heh….Uranus…heh heh heh. BUT….apparently the folks at NASA, if they were to read today’s blog, wouldn’t even chuckle.
WHY! Because those nerds are seriously thinking about implementing a taxi service to other planets that’s why. Yep, taxi service into outer space. In fact, NASA is so serious about this plan they have put out a call for commercial space taxis, or, taxis that can go waaaaay out there.
And, considering, if you’ve ever been in a taxi, that a lot of cab rivers are waaaaay out there, NASA shouldn’t have any problem recruiting drivers and their taxis to travel into space. Most of them are already out there if ya catch my drift.
The reason for all this is that NASA has been without its own taxi system since 2011 when they retired their three-ship shuttle fleet due to high operating costs and safety questions. Unlike taxis who don’t have to worry about high operating costs because we all know most taxis are running on a wing and a prayer as it is and who the hell worries about safety problems.
“Hey pal, ya worried about safety. Noooo problem. If dis here cab has a safety problem before we gets to our destination, nooo problem. Look at it dis way. If somethin’ happens how far do ya have to fall? What….a foot or less before ya hit the ground.”
Which would also apply to space travel. Something happens, noooo problem. Ya just float around in space for an eternity. BUT…..you’re then not responsible for the taxi fare.
What NASA really wants is private enterprise to develop and maintain their own taxis so that NASA doesn’t have to foot the bill. Kinda like Richard Branson of Virgin Atlantic Airlines who is planning to launch his own space taxi shuttle service. I assume the stewardess will all be virgins. Sorry…..couldn’t help myself there.
Branson’s entry into the space program presently is for tourists to go up into space just beyond the atmosphere and then coast back to Earth. Barf bags provided at no cost.
NASA wants more than that. They want space taxis to go to the space station and perhaps beyond at some point. Like Uranus. Which will be the butt, (pardon the pun) of many space jokes.
There is presently one company that is providing space taxi service for NASA. The New York City taxi cab fleet. Because those guys are reallllly out there and have been for quite some time.
Sorry, only kidding. The company now providing service is “Space-X,” (not a medication that removes age spots or warts) and they have made one test flight and two cargo runs to the space station already.
In case you’re interested, the meter on that space taxi only ran up to $3.5 million dollars. And only because halfway to the space station someone had to get out and go to the bathroom so the meter kept ticking.
There was no mention in this story as to if space taxis have to be the same putrid yellow color that most taxis are presently here on earth. Or if you will be allowed to have advertisements on the roof of your space taxi. I guess that’s something you have to work out with NASA.
And those of us who have first hand knowledge of riding in a taxi know that when we’re riding in one our attention is always focused on that dreaded taxi meter that racks up those dollars like there’s no tomorrow. You get into a taxi and when the driver throws the meter on, Shazam! you already owe him between two and four dollars on what they refer to as “the drop.” What the hell is “the drop” gonna be on a space taxi? Most likely $50,000.
“Hey driver, what’s with the $50,000? We haven’t even blasted off from the pad yet?”
“Look buddy, the longer the countdown takes, the less time I have to make it to the moon and back and get more passengers. I got a family to feed ya know.”
Russia is also getting into the act. In fact, they already have their own space taxis in operation. “Putin Taxi Service.” And if ya think it’s cheap, listen to this. Well, um….no, not listen, but read this….it costs $60 million dollars per person just to transport space station crew members to the space station. $60 MILLION FREAKIN’ DOLLARS!!! Or rubles. Not sure.
Damn! For $60 million dollars they better have a good selection of condiments. Ya think?
So, if you’re presently a cab driver look for some new adventure and perhaps some well-paying passengers, here’s your opportunity to make it to the big time and get in on the ground floor of this new business venture. Considering this IS space we’re talkin’ about I guess there really isn’t a “ground floor,” but what the hell, go for it.
If this NASA space taxi program takes off, (literally) I see a new TV program on the horizon. A new 21st century version of “TAXI.” I hear Danny DeVito, (Louie) Judd Hirsch, (Alex) Marilu Henner, (Elaine) Tony Danza, (Tony) could reprise their roles, AND….rumor has it that Andy Kaufman, (Latka) may still be alive.
I can see it all now:
(Louie) “Hey Latka…..how come it took yo so long to go from Times Square to the moon and back?”
(Latka) “Vell, ds vittb ooba di, heh heh, glaccka da midkka ver boomer, ha ha ha ha.”
(Louie) “Ha, ha ha, no kidding, and then what did she do after her implants floated out of her bra way up there in space?”
(Latka) “Badda boobs uma go, zippiddy and uppiddity and gronikka go, OMG! OMG! OMG! and gradinka fer snokenferdik.”
(Louie) “Ha ha ha ha ha, no kiddin’ Lataka….that’s funny as hell. Especially the “gradinka fer snokenferdik” part. Ha ha ha ha, wait till I tell Elaine about that one. She’s planning a trip to Venus and ya know what’s gonna happen if SHE starts bustin’ out…ha ha ha ha ha.”
I can hardly wait.

Cadet warrant officer Jack Gray (19), who joined the ATC in 2010, was selected as one of nine air cadets to fly with the world famous aerobatics display team before the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford in Gloucestershire last Thursday. He won the right after being named Best Male Air Cadet in the region.
Jack, who earned his private pilot’s licence when he was just 18, said: “We did a fly-by in a diamond nine formation over RAF Scampton before the airshow, travelling at around 500 knots, or 575mph – which is a lot faster than I’m used to flying.”
The former St Mungo pupil is currently studying for his Air Transport Pilot Licence and BSc in Professional Pilot Practice with the Aviation Skills Partnership at Tayside Aviation in Dundee and the University of Middlesex.
The Red Arrows have not let cadets on board their jets for 20 years, but the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came along as the team marked the 75th anniversary of the Air Cadets. It certainly inspired Jack to continue his hard work towards a flight career.
Jack said: “It was just a great reward for all of the cadets. I’m going to keep up with my flying and doing what I’m doing just now, but I hope to join the RAF in the future.” | aerospace |

New and old players are on a mission to explore Mars

Talk about timing. When Earth and Mars aligned at their closest points in two years, in July, aerospace leaders around the world jumped at the chance to explore the red planet. Following successful launches, spacecraft from China, the United Arab Emirates and the United States are on their way to searching for signs of past life and potential habitability on Earth’s closest neighbor. Another mission, ExoMars by the European Space Agency and Russia’s Roscosmos, aimed to join the fray but faced delays and must now wait for the next opportune planetary alignment in 2022.
Because of both its proximity and similarity to Earth, Mars has become the new frontier of space exploration.
“Mars has always held a special place for those of us that inhabit Earth,” says Matt Wallace, deputy project manager of Mars 2020 at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Stevenson Ranch, California, USA. Mars 2020 is the US$2.7 billion program that includes the Perseverance mission, which left Earth on 30 July for a seven-month journey to Mars’ Jezero Crater. “The fundamental question that the science community is trying to answer is: Could life have evolved somewhere other than our planet?”
Though the target may be the same, each project team has faced unique challenges. The US$200 million Emirates Mars Mission is the United Arab Emirates’ first interplanetary initiative. To get the team up to speed, project leaders consulted with scientists around the world to define an achievable scope: landing a probe that will spend nearly two Earth years studying weather and atmosphere.
China’s Mars mission is also landmark. If Tianwen-1 touches down in February, the nation will become the second to land and operate a rover on the planet after the United States. But the team must first overcome the entry, descent and landing phase. Bao Weimin, chief of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, told Space News that those “seven minutes of terror” represent the team’s biggest challenge.
To succeed, the team is drawing on lessons learned from two previous moon landings and using a parachute, capsule and retro-rocket to slow Tianwen-1 to a halt at Mars’ surface. For 90 Martian days, its rover will explore Utopia Planitia, a plain where scientists hope to find ground-level evidence of subsurface water pools that were previously detected from orbit. An orbiter will study Mars’ atmosphere and magnetic field for one Martian year (nearly two Earth years).
“Tianwen-1 is going to orbit, land and release a rover all on the very first try, and coordinate observations with an orbiter,” the team wrote in a Nature Astronomy paper, calling the first-ever attempt at this maneuver—if it succeeds—“a major technical breakthrough.”
For Russia and the European Space Agency, the decision to delay the ExoMars mission on 12 March came after scientists realized they were short on time to test the rover’s parachutes before the launch window. The team also identified bugs in the equipment that supports the rover’s descent module and ultimately decided to delay the mission until Mars and Earth are closely aligned again.
To wait may have been fortuitous, as the global pandemic cast uncertainty on many projects. For NASA, it became a dash. “There was a point where I was very uncertain as to whether we could get it finished,” Wallace says. “We didn’t have the margin to shut down for a month and make the launch date.”
To stay on schedule, he assembled a team called Safe at Work whose role was to keep team members shielded from COVID-19 as they continued to drive toward the launch date. The risk mitigation paid off, with a successful—and on-time—launch.
Though the rovers launched in July are still en route to Mars, project teams are already thinking about subsequent trips. The United States and China are planning return missions within the next decade.
“Mars is potentially a place that humans could establish a settlement in,” Wallace says. “That’s something that always drives us forward.”

Why can’t you reverse an airplane?
About Jostein Sørli

Home base: OSL
Flies: Boeing 737
Flight hours: 3,500
Assuming you mean reversing the aircraft on the ground and out of the gate, in theory we can actually do that, and there are a few aircraft types that even do. However, it’s a complicated and quite noisy procedure, so as a result, many airports prohibit reversing, also known as power back.
On aircraft with engines mounted under the wing, such as the 737 and A320, there are other reasons as well why we are prohibited from reversing under our own power. Since the engines are situated quite close to the ground, reversing the airflow would kick up quite a bit of gravel and other debris, that could be sucked back into the engine. Consequently, it would greatly increase the wear and tear of our engines. So to answer your question, theoretically we can reverse on the ground, but for practical reasons, on the aircraft we use here at SAS, we are not allowed to do so.

In doing so the astronaut not only created a memento of his or her time in space, but also a message for present and future human kind.
Once brought back to earth and placed in people's hands, message in a bottle becomes a conduit between humans and space, between this world and the one beyond us.

Wednesday, September 01, 2004
NASA's recently lunched spacecraft to Mercury is carrying with it not only advanced scientific instruments to explore the tiny hot planet, but also a small piece of Israeli ingenuitya micro refrigerator that will keep the delicate equipment onboard the ship cool as it races ever closer to the sun.
On August 3 the NASA spaceship MESSENGER (ME rcury S urface, S pace En vironment, Ge ochemistry and R anging) blasted off to space on a 6.5 year mission to the planet Mercury aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force base in Florida. MESSENGER will be the first spacecraft to ever orbit the planet Mercury, one of the only remaining unexplored planets in our solar system. The only spaceship to ever get near Mercury was Mariner 10 who past by the planet 3 times some 30 years ago.
Mercury is the most extreme planet out of the four inner planets orbiting our sun. Being the smallest, the densest, the one with the oldest surface and the largest daily variations in surface temperature, makes it highly interesting for scientists. Understanding Mercury is thus crucial to developing a better understanding of how our own Earth formed, how it evolved, and how it interacts with the Sun. To develop this understanding, the MESSENGER mission, spacecraft, and science instruments are focused on answering some of the key questions that will allow us to understand Mercury as a planet, such as: Why is Mercury so dense? What is Mercurys geologic history? And what are the unusual materials at Mercury's poles?
In order to answer these questions the MESSENGER spaceship carries onboard a number of advanced scientific instruments. One of these is the Gamma-Ray and Neutron Spectrometer (or GRNS) which will detect gamma rays and neutrons that are emitted by radioactive elements on Mercury's surface or by surface elements that have been stimulated by cosmic rays. It will be used to map the relative abundances of different elements and will help to determine if there is ice at Mercurys poles, which are never exposed to direct sunlight. Since the GRNS working temperature is around minus 200 degrees Celsius it needs a substantial amount of cooling, here enters RICOR - an Israeli company that specializes in manufacturing advanced refrigerating solutions.RICOR was founded in 1967 and entered the Cryogenic Coolers Industry in the beginning of the 1980's. From than on it advanced to become an industry leader in its field, producing sophisticated cooling solutions to both military and civilian thermal imaging applications. During the 90's the company expended and entered the space industry after supplying the refrigerating unit to the NASA Clementine spaceship lunched on January 1994 to explore the lunar poles. After the initial success RICOR participated in the manufacturing of parts to eight other space programs including some of NASA's mars missions.
The MESSENGER was more of a challenge to RICOR since the conditions the spaceship will undergo are of extreme nature. During its long voyage the ship will have to endure not only the harshness of space flight but also the scorching heat of the sun warming up the ship to more than 400 degrees Celsius. Although the MESSENGER is heavily protected by ceramic shielding it will still need an advanced cooling unit to bring the GRNS sensor to its work temperature of minus 200 Celsius. In order to do that RICOR developed a micro refrigerator that weights only 400 grams and operates with supreme efficiency so it can preserve the spaceship valuable power supply for more important tasks such as the operation of the scientific instrumentation and the high power communication antenna.

Cadets can join any time from their 13th birthday to their 18th birthday and stay until they are 20. Activities undertaken include flying (both powered and in the organisation's own fleet of both conventional and self-launching gliders), sport, adventurous training, drill, academic training in military and aviation related subjects, fieldcraft, leadership and citizenship training and, of course, having fun. The highlight of the year is annual camp, where cadets spend a week on an active RAF station experiencing RAF life for themselves.
Whilst the Air Training Corps is not a recruiting organisation for the Royal Air Force, many cadets have an interest in a military career and a large proportion of the RAF's intake of pilots are ex-cadets. We do not, however, require that an individual have any particular intent to persue a career in the armed forces.
The corps has a very strong equal opportunities policy and all teenagers are eligible to join and fully participate, irrespective of gender, race, religion, disability or indeed anything else.

At least 9 people were killed in the accident. Officials said the military cargo plane that was traveling with nine people collapsed in Georgia.
None of the passengers were alive. The C-130 Cargo plane of the Puerto Rican Air National Guard collapsed on the highway near Savannah city airport at 9 o'clock on Wednesday night, according to American time. A large part of the aircraft is stolen.
There were only five crew members in the aircraft. But later, four more people were traveling. Puerto Rico National Guard spokesman Major Paul Dahlen said all were dead in the accident. With the flames erupting, the whole of the airplane flowing out of the big photos of social media has been shared on social media. Dahlin said the plane was older than 50 years old. The plane was flying to Davis Mantan Air Force base in Georgia for aircraft maintenance. The mechanical condition of the aircraft is good. The reason for the accident was to be revealed and the investigation was going on.
US President Donald Trump responded to the accident. Tweeted a deep grief over the incident. The families of the deceased were sympathetic. Recently in the United States, a number of aircraft crashes occurred. Last month, the F-16 aircraft crashed and the pilot lost their lives. Four days later, Marine Corps helicopter collapsed. | aerospace |

It's very similar to flying a remote-controlled aeroplane. The only distinction is actually that you can grab some panoramic visuals making use of the drone. Almost all the drones sport an HD cam that may be used to record online videos and also click on still pictures. Flying a drone occurs to become an unfamiliar take in. Those that have possessed the opportunity of flying a drone would be well aware of the happiness and also delights the adventure brings along. There's a blister of exhilaration that is actually bound to engulf you the moment you purchase a drone. No phrases can appropriately illustrate this sort of an enthusiasm. Understanding the fine art of regulating a drone will get a substantial quantity of time. If you are actually a beginner, after that you would certainly need to have a good amount of time just before you can actually think of grasping this fine art. Anyway, listed below are a handful of helpful tips that you may select to observe if you are a first-time drone owner.
Just how To Fly A Drone
Begin Through Reading The Guide
Now, this could appear monotonous, but the fact is: you will not have the ability to fly the drone properly until you understand each one of its own managements. Go stable and slow-moving. You can easily take your own sweet time so as to get the dangle of all the managements. For example: If you buy a brand new Mini Drone, you would certainly need a long time to get the drone up and running. Rest, no person comes to be a champion in only a single day. Essentially, begin by reading through the manual completely. When the reading component mores than, you can then begin experimenting with the managements.

Technique, Method, As well as Much more Strategy
Properly, this one goes virtually without stating. You can certainly not grasp the fine art of flying a mini drone in only a day. To become sincere, no person can. Begin through maintaining your drone close to the ground. Play around with it in a close-by playground, yet are sure the playground isn't crowded. It is actually a good idea initially the amateur's setting. Go one action at a time and keep it straightforward.
Perform Not Perform Around Folks
This's a continuance of the previous factor. Make certain that the flying region isn't crowded. Flying a drone along with too many folks around is just one of the absolute most distracting traits on earth. Likewise, if there are too many individuals around the drone, it can easily trigger collisions.
Stay away from The Vegetation, Always
You do not want your newly-bought drone to acquire damaged after receiving adhered within the slow-witted leafy divisions of a plant, perform you? No, of course you do not. Maintain your drone away from the birds in order to avoid any kind of kind of collision.
Always Conduct A Test Run
Test runs are essential. Only fly your drone around for a minute or two before venturing out. This will assist you identify regardless if the drone is under your command.
Watch On The Weather Circumstances
This factor stores a considerable amount of importance. If they happen in call along with water, drones are actually susceptible to damage. To always keep issues including malfunction away, it is advisable to stay clear of taking flight the drone if the weather conditions are overcast. Likewise, very cold ailments can easily reduce the battery lifestyle. If the weather is actually chilly, it is actually suggested to pre-heat your battery at Twenty level Celsius.
Electric Battery Status Needs To Be Examined Frequently
Usually, drones have an electric battery life of someplace in between twenty moments to half an hour. Hold a few added electric batteries if you assume that your drone photography treatment will get a very long time to finish. Carry the wall charger along also.

This report covers the entire aviation industry, including the airline and aerospace sectors. It focuses upon the civil sector of the aerospace business. The military sector is included in the separate sector profile on Defense.
The Economic Cycle and Aviation
The civil aviation industry is highly cyclical, being extremely sensitive to the economic cycle. In times of economic hardship, people simply fly less often than they do in the good times. In addition to being hostage to the economic cycle, the airline industry is struggling with two major factors, namely fuel costs, which seem to be on a perpetual path upwards, and the need to “green up.” As the Economist (2012) has pointed out, the world’s airlines operate on the tightest of margins, and the least ill wind can push even the most established players into administration or bankruptcy.
However, necessity, as the old saying has it, is often the mother of invention, and the big engine manufacturers that target the sector, such as Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and GE, along with several innovative competitors, have all been looking to design more-efficient, leaner engines that use less fuel per mile and that are generally quieter, putting them comfortably inside the industry’s latest noise abatement measures.
Connectivity is undoubtedly one of the biggest trends in the sector, with airlines racing to re-equip their cabins to provide passengers with internet capability and telephone connectivity while in flight. Another development that has already made great advances in the business aviation sector, where price is often not an overriding consideration, is opening up the cabin management system (CMS) to the new “bring your own device” world. Major equipment providers such as Honeywell are already giving customers the option of using their tablet PCs, iPads, and iPods to watch movies and to interact with the entertainment resources on board. With commercial airlines, this trend will affect first-class cabins first, and will probably be slower to filter down to premium and economy-class cabins.
Interestingly, while supersonic flight came to an end in commercial airline operations with the demise of Concorde in 2003, the business aviation world has a couple of players that are going flat out to try to bring both supersonic and hypersonic jets to market. Aerion is partnering with NASA to overcome the design issues involved in producing a supersonic business jet that will be capable of cutting hours off a long-range journey such as New York to Tokyo. Another company, HyperMach, now headquartered in the United Kingdom, is working on what would be the first hypersonic business jet. HyperMach CEO, Richard Lugg, reckons that his revolutionary hybrid electric and jet-fuel turbine engine will take his SonicStar aircraft with 24 passengers from London to New York in 55 minutes. These are exciting developments and show that the dream of supersonic and hypersonic flight has not died.
The current state of the global commercial airline business continues to be difficult at best. One of the deep structural issues that the industry faces is that it is very difficult to take overcapacity out of the sector while so many national airlines are propped up in various ways by government subsidies. What happens in other industries faced with overcapacity, namely a spate of mergers and takeovers, along with some high-profile failures, has all sorts of systemic barriers to overcome in the airline sector. This arguably prevents the market from functioning the way competitive markets should function.
By way of example, two of the biggest mergers in recent years, the merger between Air France and KLM, and the merger between British Airways and Iberia, were both accomplished through holding companies, with the result that both parties to the merger stayed largely independent of each other and could continue to be national in character. Part of the problem is that for an international airline to fly between two countries, the airline requires the bilateral agreement of both governments. This either involves the country concerned requiring a stake in the incoming airline or requiring reciprocity from that airline’s government for its flag carrier. So far, no solution to this problem has been found and the only way in which the airline industry can seem to be truly global to its millions of passengers, is via alliances between airlines. These alliances allow baggage forwarding, through ticketing, and a multi-country network, which gives them an international flavor even as all the participants retain their domestic links.
The global airline industry has made a multi-billion-dollar loss in seven of the last 12 years. There is scarcely a major airline that is immune from potential bankruptcy, apart from the Gulf airlines, which are all cash-rich and expanding their businesses. Any sector with a profit margin of 3% or under is living on the edge. In fact, on December 13, 2012, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that the net post-tax margin for the industry as a whole will barely amount to 1.0% for 2012 and 1.3% for 2013. That is such a wafer-thin margin that even a modest spike in fuel costs could tip the industry into yet another annual loss in 2013. In any event, IATA estimates that the industry needs a profit of between 7% and 8% to recover the cost of capital deployed. That does not look on the cards any time soon. IATA director-general Tony Tyler said in December 2012 that it seems likely that the world’s airlines will return a profit of US$6.7 billion in 2012, which represents a downward revision of IATA’s October 2012 prediction of US$7.5 billion. This amounts to just US$2.25 for every one of the 2.97 billion passengers carried in 2012, not much of a profit margin for a multi-billion-dollar sector.
Despite the thin-to-non-existent profits, passenger numbers continue to grow. In fact IATA points out that, despite high fuel prices and a slowing world economy, airline profits and cash flows held up at levels similar to 2006, when oil prices were US$45 per barrel lower and the world economy was growing at 4.0%.
Commenting on the numbers, Tyler said: “With global GDP growth close to the ‘stall speed’ of 2.0%, and with oil at US$109.55 a barrel, we expected much weaker performance. But airlines have adjusted to this difficult environment through improving efficiency and restructuring. That is protecting cash flows against weak economic growth and high fuel prices.”
General Aviation—The Scale of the Business and VIP Jet Market
As the international industry body, the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), points out in its compilation of statistics on the sector (GAMA, 2012), the corporate and private jet sector is responsible for getting on for two million jobs worldwide and generates billions of dollars in revenue. This “general aviation” (GA) sector is defined as encompassing all aviation other than military and commercial aircraft, and includes everything from two-seater trainers to intercontinental business jets such as Bombardier’s Lear 850 or the Gulfstream 650. There are more than 320,000 GA aircraft worldwide, and more than two-thirds of these are based in the United States, the world’s largest GA market by far.
GA contributes more than US$150 billion to the US economy annually and employs some 1.265 million people. GA aircraft fly some 35 million hours annually in the US and carry around 166 million people. There are nearly 4,000 paved GA airports in the United States open to business jets. By contrast, there are just 500 commercial airports. At a stroke, this highlights one of the major reasons for the continued use of business jets by corporates and high-net-worth individuals. Even in the United States, there are a large number of town and city pairs that are not on commercial airline routes and that would require road trips of more than an hour or two for travelers to get from their desired destination to a commercial airport. In the emerging economies of India and China, business aviation has an even stronger case to make.
General aviation has always had to struggle against the public (and political) stereotypical view of private jets as toys for the super-rich. As the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) points out in its “No Plane No Gain” campaign for 2012 and 2013, legislation follows perception, so the sector has to wage a constant struggle to avoid penal taxes being imposed, which would damage growth and jobs in the sector. One of the perennial ideas pushed by US politicians from time to time is a GA usage fee tax of US$100 per flight. When you consider that a corporate with an eight-seater jet will do at least 300 hours flying time each year, or around 30 trips with six to eight managers and executives flying to meetings with clients and suppliers, that amounts to 30 times 6 times 100, or a tax on the company of US$18,000. To a multinational such as Walmart, which works its corporate jets hard ferrying generally mid and low-level managers, buyers, and supplier relationship representatives out to the regions, the tax on the business would not be trivial.
The NBAA commissioned the research house NEXA to report on business jet usage by S&P 500 companies. It found that, between 2003 and 2009, users of business aircraft outnumbered non-users by three to one, and that users typically used business aircraft to drive increased revenues, profitability, and efficiencies. Business aircraft users outperformed non-users on several important financial measures for the period 2003 to 2007. On a market-cap-weighted basis, annual growth in revenues was 116% higher for users, earnings growth was 434% higher, and average annual EBIT growth was 83% higher. According to GAMA, more than two-thirds of all the hours flown by general aviation are for business purposes, and this includes all the leisure hours flown by small propeller and turbo-prop two-seater and four-seater aircraft.
Airbus and Boeing Growth Predictions for Sales of Commercial Aircraft
Despite the very thin profit margins experienced by commercial airlines worldwide, passenger numbers are continuing to climb. In its latest industry forecast for the period 2013–20, Boeing notes that passenger numbers for 2011 rose 6% above the figure for 2010. Boeing expects world passenger traffic to grow at 5% annually for the next 20 years. Air cargo traffic actually shrank slightly in 2011, down 2.4% on the figure for 2010. However, Boeing argues that emerging-market economies, with their hunger for goods and their thriving export engines, will foster a continuing need for air cargo, which Boeing expects to grow at an average annual rate of 5.2% up to 2031.
Taking these two facts into account, Boeing is forecasting a long-term demand for some 34,000 new airplanes to 2030, with a total value of US$4.5 trillion. “These new airplanes will replace older, less-efficient airplanes, benefiting airlines and passengers, and stimulating growth in emerging markets and innovation in airline business models,” it says. The bulk of new orders, some 23,240 airplanes, will be single-aisle regional jets, reflecting growth in emerging markets such as China and India. The larger, twin-aisle segment of the market, which currently has an approximately19% share of today’s fleet, will increase to 23% by 2031, Boeing says. These planes tend to be the intercontinental jets, so their arrival will foster the continuing globalization of trade and travel.
Airbus sees new-build demand for 2031 rising to 28,200 passenger and freight aircraft, somewhat down on Boeing’s figures. Traffic growth between advanced and emerging air transport markets will run at an average annual rate of 5.1%, it says. This is ahead of the average global growth figure of 4.7%, and not far off the 6.6% growth anticipated for flights between emerging markets. Airbus also thinks that around 42% of all the aircraft larger than 100 seats in size will be delivered to carriers in the EU and North America.
Aircraft makers are focused on reducing fuel consumption, and operating costs in general, in the battle to win orders from airlines. Fuel costs, which can account for 50% of an airline’s operating costs, can make or break an airline. Boeing says that its 787 Dreamliner cuts fuel use by 20%, thanks to new engines, and the use of lightweight, composite materials. Meanwhile, Airbus says that the A380 is the first long-haul aircraft to consume less than three liters of fuel per passenger per 100 km, a rate comparable to an economical family car. It claims that the A380’s efficiency and advanced technology result in 15–20% lower seat-mile costs than those of competitor aircraft. Fuel-efficient engines and the use of advanced composite materials have played a vital role in reducing the A380’s operating costs. The airframe is made up of some 25% composite material by weight, while the Airbus A350XWB, which entered production in 2010, utilizes around 50% composite material.
Boeing and Airbus are also engaged in developing alternative fuels. Engine-makers Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, and General Electric are all involved, and momentum is being maintained, even though oil prices have fallen considerably from their mid-2008 peaks. IATA has a goal of 10% alternative fuels by 2017 while, in the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration is encouraging the use of new fuels. Several flights have already taken place using biofuels. In April 2010, for example, the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet, nicknamed the “Green Hornet,” carried out a biofuel-powered flight and became the first US Navy fighter to be powered by a biofuel blend. The Navy noted that the F414 engine performed as expected during the 45-minute flight, and indicated “the aircraft did not know the difference between the bioblend and its traditional fuel source.” | aerospace |

Spatial disorientation is the inability to correctly interpret aircraft altitude or airspeed in relation to the earth or point of reference. Spatial disorientation is a condition in which an aircraft pilot’s perception of direction does not agree with reality. (Wikipedia)
In other words, an airplane pilot can be flying along just fine; keeping an eye on the horizon. He knows exactly where he is and what his plane is doing. But if he loses sight of the horizon for some reason – say a heavy fog rolls in or a storm comes up – the pilot loses his point of reference and can become disoriented.
With no accurate point of reference, up can feel exactly like down and vice versa. Feeling as if he is operating the plane very skillfully and gaining altitude, the pilot can drive it straight into the ground. He would not know, until too late, that his perception was wrong – his feelings lied to him.
A pilot who is flying blind because of weather or darkness needs to know how to fly using his instrument panel. He can’t rely on his feelings. Only the instrument panel will provide accurate data about how to proceed.
This funny little video from AOPA illustrates the dangers of flying blind.
So the toy plane hangs in our kitchen, reminding us not to act on our feelings alone.
We got this idea years ago from an old “Moody Science Classics” video, but we’ve talked about it a lot over the years since John and Monica both took ground school and flight training and Monica is now a licensed pilot. It’s a perfect illustration.
The bible is our instrument panel as we go through life. It’s God’s word to all humans, and it addresses every wind of circumstance, cloud of sorrow, and storm of adversity we fly into. It even gives directions about how to proceed on a bright sunny day.
It’s important to be familiar with the bible, the instrument panel, but a lot of people would rather fly by feelings – perceived facts.
Even Christians who believe the bible… even me.
So often I forget, and sway under discouragement, or go into a little tailspin of worry. Then with relief I remember my control panel – the words designed by my Maker who knows the complete flight plan of our lives.
That’s why I hung that little airplane in my kitchen. | aerospace |

This is our favorite route as it connects the US to Southeast Asia in the fastest way possible.
Flights will begin on 11 October 2018, to Newark Liberty International Airport. The route will initially be served three times a week, departing Singapore on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. Daily operations will commence from 18 October after an additional A350-900ULR aircraft enters service.
SIA is the world’s first customer for the new A350-900ULR, with seven on firm order with Airbus. The aircraft will be configured in a two-class layout, with 67 Business Class seats and 94 Premium Economy Class seats.
This route which was previously run by SIA but discontinued will cover a distance of approximately 9,000nm (16,700km)with a flight time of up to 18hrs 45min. Singapore Airlines served the Singapore-Newark route until 2013, when services were suspended after the aircraft used at the time, Airbus A340-500s, were returned to Airbus. The old “Flying Gas Tanks” as they were called burned fuel and became uneconomical.
“Singapore Airlines has always taken pride in pushing the boundaries to provide the best possible travel convenience for our customers, and we are pleased to be leading the way with these new non-stop flights using the latest-technology, ultra-long-range Airbus A350-900ULR,” said Singapore Airlines’ CEO, Mr Goh Choon Phong.
“At nearly 19 hours the flights will be long but still the quickest way to travel between the US and Southeast Asia”
“The flights will offer our customers the fastest way to travel between the two cities – in great comfort, together with Singapore Airlines’ legendary service – and will help boost connectivity to and through the Singapore hub.”
The A350-900ULR will offer customers a more comfortable travelling experience with features such as higher ceilings, larger windows, an extra wide body and lighting designed to reduce jetlag. Its carbon composite airframe also allows for improved air quality due to a more optimised cabin altitude and humidity levels.
Singapore Airlines currently has 21 A350-900s in its fleet, with 46 more on order including seven of the ULR variant. The first A350-900ULR is due for delivery in September, with all seven due for delivery by the end of the year.
Singapore Airlines currently serves New York JFK, daily via Frankfurt. Other US destinations include Houston (five times weekly via Manchester), Los Angeles (daily via Seoul and daily via Tokyo), and San Francisco (daily non-stop from Singapore as well as daily via Hong Kong).
Non-stop Singapore-Los Angeles flights are also planned with the A350-900ULR, details of which will be announced at a later date. We’re excited to once again take the world’s longest commercial flight and cut the time between SE Asia and the US> | aerospace |

Terra Constructs will supply Sargent Corporation, the General Contractor on the runway extension project, with back fill, labor, equipment, supervision and incidentals to build the MSE Runway Abutments and Taxi Way Walls. This project will enhance the safety of the Manassas Regional Airport in Virginia – an airport that “lightens the load” for Dulles International and Ronald Reagan National.
The primary reason for the construction of the Bridge Structure Extensions Project is to enhance the safety on the airfield. The existing bridge structures that accommodate Broad Run stream do not meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety area criteria for both Runway 16L-34R and Taxiway “B”. In order to meet the safety requirements, the existing bridge structures will be extended to the runway and taxiway safety area limits and existing areas of bridge structure will be repaired where maintenance is needed.
Terra Constructs will provide all the comprehensive services needed to build true reinforced MSE Bridge abutments where the loads of the bridge are supported by the MSE mass, as well as construction phasing with existing walls, including an acute corner design.
Project Started June 2014
Proposed completion November 2014
- Fix the runway and taxiway safety areas for Runway 16L/34R and Taxiway Bravo
- Creates an extra safety margin when pilots are landing in extreme weather conditions
Manassas Regional Airport has been a key contributor to the local economy and this expansion will further economic growth. “We are excited to be a part of this project that will provide safer flights, more jobs and local economic growth for Virginia,” said Babur R. Mian, P.E., President and CEO of Terra Constructs. | aerospace |

Solar energy has been a key part of humanity’s clean energy repertoire. We have spread masses of solar panels over solar fields, and many people power their homes by decorating their roofs with rectangles.
But there is a caveat to this wonderful powerhouse. Solar panels cannot collect energy at night. To function at their maximum efficiency, they need as much sunlight as possible. So, to maximize the performance of these solar collectors, the researchers plan to send them to a place where the sun never sets: outer space.
Theoretically, if a bunch of solar panels were put into orbit, they would absorb the sun even on the foggiest days and darkest nights, storing up an enormous amount of energy. If this energy were transmitted wirelessly to Earth, our planet could breathe clean, renewable energy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Who would be significantly reduce our carbon footprint.
Amid a worsening climate crisis, the success of solar space energy could be more important than ever. The state of the climate is in the spotlight right now as world leaders gather in Glasgow, Scotland for the COP26 summit, which has been called .
CNET Science highlights some futuristic strategies designed to help countries reduce their carbon emissions. Next-generation technologies like solar space power alone may not solve our climate problems on their own, but green innovation could be invaluable to the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement: to limit climate change. global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century.
An unlimited supply of renewable energy from the sun could help us do this.
From science fiction to reality
For decades, space solar power has lived on the minds of science fiction enthusiasts and scientists.
In the early 1900s, Russian scientist and mathematician Konstantin Tsiolkovsky regularly produced a flood of futuristic designs envisioning human technology beyond Earth. It’s responsible for bringing up things like space elevators, steerable rockets, and, you guessed it, space solar power.
Ever since Bell Labs invented the first concrete “solar panel” in the 1950s, international scientists have strived to make Tsiolkovsky’s sci-fi fantasy a reality. They include Japanese researchers, the US military, and a team from the California Institute of Technology leading the Space Solar Power Project.
Space solar energy “was studied extensively in the late 1960s and 1970s, sort of at the height of the Apollo program,” said Michael Kelzenberg, senior researcher on the project.
Unfortunately, due to the weight and bulk of the materials, the technology at the time was not advanced enough to achieve the feat in a cost-effective manner. It would have been exceptionally difficult to send conventional solar panels into space via a rocket without breaking the bank.
“The unique and defining characteristic of the Caltech approach is its focus on reducing the mass of components by 10 to 100 times,” said Harry Atwater, principal investigator of the project. “This is essential for reducing both manufacturing and launch costs in order to make space solar energy economical.”
A sky full of solar panels
Instead of using a rocket to transport traditional solar panels into space, the Caltech team is advocating a new type of panel that is lighter, more compact and foldable. They suggest sending a lot of these mini tile-like aerial solar panels into orbit.
Each individual tile has everything it needs, such as photovoltaics, to harvest solar energy. When connected in space, the tiny squares essentially form a giant mine of renewable energy floating around the Earth.
While the team looked at a range of composites to create the ideal ultralight structure, some are actually less efficient than terrestrial solar panels. But Kelzenberg notes that in space, “efficiency” gains new meaning.
“The increase in efficiency really comes from the fact that by placing them in space, they receive a lot of intense sunlight because the sunlight does not have to pass through the atmosphere,” he said. he declares. “They also get sunlight, basically 24 hours a day.”
When the sun shone on these panels, they absorbed direct current or direct current energy beams. In the team mechanism, this energy would be translated into radio frequencies. The next step would be to bring this power back to Earth.
This would happen, according to the team, by microwave radiation. The radiofrequency energy would be projected towards our planet on areas reminiscent of the solar fields of the desert. But instead of what solar panels usually are, these regions would contain receivers with antennas that collect the harvested energy.
It’s essentially wireless energy transfer, something Nikola Tesla alluded to in the late 19th century.
Using such radiation, Kelzenberg says, allows the system to operate in rain and fog, at night and during mild thunderstorms, only likely to be disturbed by the most severe weather conditions. However, a question often raised about wireless radiation patterns is whether they would have a negative impact on vegetation or terrain features.
Atwater says that’s not a problem.
“The power density received on Earth would be equivalent to the power density of sunlight on a sunny day,” he explained. “And space solar power systems can be designed to be inherently safe in this regard.”
As an added safety measure, Kelzenberg says, familiar measures can be taken, such as cordoning off the reception area. Cell phone towers, which use a similar form of airwave communication, do the same.
After terrestrial receivers recovered the energy in the form of radio frequencies, they would work with a ground station to convert it back to DC energy, which would then be transformed into alternating current, or alternating current, fed into the utility. grid, Atwater said.
It’s a complex process, but that last element, alternating current, is ordinary old-fashioned electricity that flows through outlets in your home to charge your iPhone and bring your laptop to life. There.
Teleport Earth, Scotty
“Our first space flight to demonstrate solar energy space component technology is now scheduled for late 2022, on a commercial spacecraft,” Atwater said.
While the team won’t be launching the real deal, they will be conducting an experiment that demonstrates the feasibility of smaller-scale technologies. It will be a makeshift and simpler form of invention. They will even send out a number of solar cells that have never seen the void of space before.
But one day, if space solar energy becomes a reality, it could change the world.
Not only would this help power remote areas and balance the power grid to prevent blackouts, but it could also send power to mining operations on other planets.
“Space solar energy can be deployed in remote areas of the Earth where there is no existing power grid; it could also be used to generate base energy on the Moon or on Mars via a similar scheme of orbital energy production and radiation to the surface, ”Atwater explained.
More importantly, the energy that humans could generate through 24/7 solar power would be enough to meet the growing demands of our planet and even replace nuclear or coal power. “This represents a ‘basic’ source of energy that is always available, unlike solar panels on Earth,” Atwater said.
Kelzenberg added: “That is why we believe this can play an important role in moving towards a fully carbon neutral electricity grid in the future.”
Of course, there is a long way to go. Even if the team’s 2022 experiment is successful, there are manufacturing costs to consider, as well as legal questions about occupying orbital space (there may be government restrictions). Questions about the feasibility of replacing known power grids with space solar power plants will also remain.
But at the end of this path, we can find something golden.
“I think we can certainly agree that getting a cheap solar panel and putting it on the ground will cost a lot less than throwing one into space,” Kelzenberg said. “But the real virtue of space solar power is its ability to provide solar power day and night.” | aerospace |

Mexico is helping NASA explore Mars. They're one of only 13 student groups
selected by Cornell University as student interns for the Mars Exploration
Geologist Larry Crumpler, a research curator at the New Mexico Museum of
Natural History and Science wanted to get New Mexico students involved.
Science and math teacher Joe Aragon at Laguna/Acoma High School sent the
winning proposal for how the program would help their students.
The Laguna/Acoma High School has approximately 400 students and 35
teachers. It's a public school located on the Laguna pueblo reservation in
a rural area. The student body is about 80 percent American Indian and 20
percent Hispanic. Aragon selected students who had shown initiative in the
past and would be active participants.
Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars Jan. 3 and 24. Each intern group got
to visit NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for a week and help the
scientists. The Laguna/Acoma students were fortunate enough to visit during
one of the most exciting periods of the mission - while preparing for the
landing of the second spacecraft on Mars the first spacecraft wouldn't
respond to commands from Earth.
Aragon and students Mark Vallejos, 18, and Brandon Herrera, 16, arrived at
JPL on Jan. 18, two weeks after Spirit's landing. Their first night
coincided with the Acoma Pueblo's pilgrimage for the safety and welfare of
the tribe and the world. Aragon noted, "Because of cultural religious
activities at home, it was especially important for me to stay awake and
active [that] night. This all-night observance was for the support of the
individuals involved in a religious pilgrimage back home, so it made it
doubly significant for me this first night 'on Mars.'"
Aragon and his students attended meetings with the scientists. The meetings
discussed the progress as well as which rock was most interesting to look
at next and which science instruments should be used.
The interns were put to work, measuring the sizes of tiny pebbles and rocks
in the photos. The Mars scientists have a simple method of keeping track of
what's what on Mars - nicknames. During the 1996 Mars Pathfinder mission
one rock looked like Yogi Bear, so it got nicknamed "Yogi." That earned the
team a personal cartoon from Yogi's creator Bill Hanna.
One football-size rock stood out. Principal scientist Steve Squires said
that the preliminary name "pyramid" was too boring so they'd have to find a
more distinguished name. The team chose Adirondack, after the Adirondack
mountain range in New York. In the official release NASA noted "The word
Adirondack is Native American and is interpreted by some to mean 'They of
the great rocks.'"
Engineers sent Spirit the commands to drive up to Adirondack and put its
arm against the rock. The arm includes a drill to cut away the surface and
peer into the rock, a microscope camera, and a chemical analyzer. But just
as Spirit reached Adirondack on Jan. 21 it stopped communicating with
While some engineers tried to determine what went wrong with Spirit the
rest of the team prepared for Opportunity's landing on Mars. After the
incredibly successful Spirit landing several weeks earlier, but mysterious
communications problems, everyone was anxious.
The Laguna/Acoma team was scheduled to go home on Jan. 24. But that night
the second spacecraft, Opportunity was going to land. It was a chance they
didn't want to pass up.
"We had to give up our apartment because the next team was supposed to take
over," Aragon said. Even without a place to stay Aragon and the students
decided it was worth it to hang around another day.
They watched the Opportunity landing with the Spirit scientists, away from
the bedlam in the mission control room where anxious engineers monitored
the landing, with high level NASA officials and VIPs looking over their
shoulders. "As it got closer to the landing we saw a flurry of activities
in the science building and it was really exciting. It was a pretty anxious
time for everybody we noticed there. When it landed I even felt relieved, I
was nervous," Aragon said. | aerospace |

We had an amazing day out at the Science Museum which really enriched our learning. We had a fun and interactive workshop all about life on the International Space Station. We strapped ourselves in and zoomed off to experience life in space. We learnt all about gravity or the lack of it in space! Using the anti-gravity machine 5000, we had a game of anti-gravity basketball. We then learnt about how astronauts get clean water. Did you know it would cost a whopping £20,000 to get a bottle of water brought to space? So, instead the astronauts drink water that has been made from their…wee! We were shown a water filter and then the presenter concocted a grimy mixture of water, dirt and wee and demonstrated how the water filter worked. She even drank the filtered water to prove to us it was now drinkable. Other highlights included Mrs Halstead having to work out with weights like an astronaut, learning about the spacesuits astronauts must wear if they leave the ISS, and learning about how toilets work. Finally, we floated back down to Earth just in time to enjoy our lunch. After we had eaten, we headed to the Space Gallery where we found several more interesting facts and interactive displays to enhance our knowledge. What an exciting day!

The base had an exceptionally long runaway (3049m / 10,000 feet), together with a large number of technical buildings and accommodation.
Machrihanish was established as a naval air station in 1916, operating maritime patrol aircraft and airships until 1918. A new airfield opened on 15 June 1941 as Strabane Naval Air Station, and named HMS Landrail, becoming RNAS Machrihanish later in the month and operated until 1946. The old airfield became HMS Landrail II.
The Air Station was re-activated again during the Korean War for training purposes. Between 1960-62, the base was reconstructed and the current runway built. Thereafter the base developed in relation to NATO requirements during the Cold War, and was the focus of anti-submarine operations with US-controlled nuclear depth charges. A US Navy SEAL unit was also been based here. £10 million was spent to upgrade the station in the early 1990s, keeping it on a care-and-maintenance basis to provide a runway for emergencies or in the event of conflict. The base remained a UK and NATO military base until 1997.
Between the wars a commercial aerodrome was established and is still operated by the government-owned Highlands and Islands Airports Limited operates with IATA location code “GQJ”. It uses the same single runway which, at 3049m (10,000 feet), is the longest in Scotland. The terminal building are at the south-eastern end. There are scheduled flights to Glasgow.
Now a community owned and mothballed RAF base and Commercial Airfield servicing Campbeltown and surrounding areas, was once known as HMS Landrail, Royal Naval Air Station Machrihanish. Deck Landing School.

They both emerged in the last decade as a popular hobby, adventure activity and competitive sport. Rightfully so because they are both awesome bucketlist adventures which you have to enjoy at least once in your life, with the risk of getting addicted to them for life, just like us =)
But what exactly is the difference between paragliding and hanggliding? And which one is more fun, paragliding or hanggliding?
Allow us to enlighten you!
“Paragliding is the recreational adventure sport of flying or soaring from a slope or a cliff using a lightweight, free-flying & foot-launched wing with no rigid primary structure.”
Contrary to what many believe paragliding is not done with a parachute but with a so called paragliding wing. The wing has no rigid structure and can be folded and packed into a backpack. The wing shape of the paraglider is paramount as it gives the paraglider the ability to use updraft winds and thermals to stay in the air for long periods of time.
The pilot, and the passenger, sit upright in a harness suspended below the wing, connected with vertical lines. The wing shape of the paragliding wing is maintained by these suspension lines, While flying the wind fills the wing with air and this pressure together with the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside of the wing make a paraglider fly.
Steering and controlling the paraglider is done by applying the brakes or weight shifting within the harness.
All in all paragliding is awesome!
“Hanggliding is the sport of launching oneself from a cliff or a steep incline and flying through the air by hanging from a very small aircraft without an engine, consisting of a frame covered in cloth.”
Hanggliding is a spectacular air sport or recreational activity in which a pilot uses a light, non-motorised foot-launched and heavier-than-air aircraft called a hang glider to fly. Hanggliders differ from paragliders in as much that they use a rigid structure for their triangular shaped wing. Most modern hang gliders are made of an aluminium alloy or composite frame covered with synthetic sailcloth to form a wing shaped aircraft. The pilot is attached to the hangglider through a suspended harness attached to the airframe. Steering and controlling the hangglider is achieved by shifting body weight. The hanggliding pilot, and co-pilot, are horizontally suspended underneath the hangglider while facing downwards. This head first, facing downwards position makes hanggliding a highly spectacular and adrenaline rushing activity.
The difference between Paragliding & Hanggliding
The main difference between paragliding and hanggliding is that a paraglider doesn’t use a rigid structure for its wing and a hangglider does.
While paragliding you sit comfortably upright, in what many call the most comfortable seat ever. Hanggliders on the other hand, hang horizontally suspended and face-down underneath the hangglider.
Typically hanggliders fly with a faster horizontal speed than paragliders.
Which is more fun, Paragliding or Hanggliding?
Both paragliding and hanggliding are heaps of fun. Comparing them is comparing apples and oranges. Hanggliding is faster so a bit more of an adrenaline rush while paragliding is better to take in all the amazing views and to enjoy the serenity of a bird’s eye view of the world.
For an ultimate verdict of which one is more fun we suggest you try them both! That would settle the question once and for all.

The aviation industry is booming owing to a rise in the number of people traveling by aircraft. Flying is being considered among the safest, fastest, as well as the most convenient modes of transport worldwide. The airlines spend a vast amount of money on the maintenance of its aircraft to ensure that a dysfunctional component does not hamper the safety of an aircraft. The maintenance is one of the major contributors to aircraft operating costs, which makes the maintenance, repair, and overhaul costs of an aircraft a persistent issue for the airlines. As a result, airlines are constantly trying to minimize the operating cost and optimize their operational availability. Here are a few trends in the aircraft sensors industry that are enabling the airlines to improve:
The relatively-low-complexity hybrid circuits are gaining momentum, as they combine actuators, aircraft sensors, Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and other things in the Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips. The ongoing developments in these devices are enabling the incorporation of ultra-thin, flexible, and low-cost microcircuits in mass market packaging.
Dual Mode Sensing
The Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) imager is the underlying technology responsible for the development of a sensor’s ability to provide multiple pieces of information and functions. The sensors can handle multiple inspection and monitoring tasks which makes the complex processes easier and cost effective.
IO link is a commercial communications networking standard usually used for linking digital sensors and actuators. It includes an IO-Link master and one or more IO-Link devices and controls the communication with the connected IO-Link devices. This technology enables users to access sensor data in real-time, which can even be logged for long term analysis. It is playing a vital role in allowing quality control processes to be monitored in real-time and optimized over time based on stored data. The real-time remote monitoring is fostering the growth of auto-device replacement and predictive maintenance, which are saving time and significantly reducing the costs for maintenance.
The predictive maintenance system alerts the operator in advance regarding its maintenance issues or requirements so that it can be fixed before it fails. These sensors also enable operators to address the need for maintenance or replacement of sensors in their scheduled maintenance by allowing them to track sensor runtime and estimate the time for replacement of the device accordingly.
Easy Auto-Device Replacement
When a device requires replacement, the IO link communication technology allows automated parameter reassignment, which imports existing sensor parameter values into a replacement sensor to ensure that the new device is up and running as quickly as possible. Correctly predicting the right moment to repair or replace a part is essential as if done too far in advance, the benefits of longer usage are lost, but if done too late, unforeseen circumstances can result in unavailable assets and lost revenue.
The seamless integration of innovation and digital transformation is capable of overcoming some of the industry’s greatest challenges by providing improvements in operational processes and aviation lifespans.

- It is possible to get motion sickness sitting still in a planetarium.
- Flying a plane is harder than it looks. (Olivia and I kept crashing the flight simulator. But for some reason, the boys with us didn't crash. Is it that Y-chromosome thing again?)
- The cockpit of a fighter jet is really, really small and crowded.
- The first space shuttles were launched with rockets that were originally made to launch bombs.
- They used to hide these rockets in silos underground. Ben insists there are still some hidden in silos, though the lady at the museum said they were all dismantled... (It's a conspiracy I tell you!)
- Astronauts in the space station eject their "poo" in little capsules that then burn up in our atmosphere. We think they are shooting stars. Kinda puts a damper on your romantic star-gazing, doesn't it?
I didn't get a ton of pictures from our trip, but I did get a few.
Olivia is the astronaut on the left...
This is a model of a space shuttle. If you look at the launch rocket on the right side, the second cylindrical section (the short one) is what the kids are standing in...
... right here. Maybe it's just me, but I thought it would be bigger.
And here's one of those launch rockets (i.e. fuel tanks) that was hidden underground in a silo. Or part of it anyway. It's actually about 90 feet long.
They had this ejection seat from a fighter jet set out for the kids to sit in. Connor climbed in all by himself. The real trick was getting him out.
Olivia and her friend Megan in another vehicle. I didn't catch what it was for. I was busy trying to get Connor out of that ejection seat when they explained it and couldn't hear over his screaming.
This is probably my favorite picture of the day. The tour ends in the gift shop (of course) so I got all the kids a sucker shaped like a rocket ship. While trying to get a picture of Connor eating his, I knelt on the floor to get a good angle. He took one look at me and knelt down, too. Monkey see, monkey do... | aerospace |

Iraqi Defense Ministry officials told local media on Friday that Israeli warplanes operating out of a US airbase are conducting exercises in their country for a possible strike on neighboring Iran.
According to the sources, the Israeli planes enter Iraq via Jordanian airspace during the night, and then land at a US military base near the Iraqi city of Hadita.
If Israel ultimately decides to launch a aerial strike against Iran’s main uranium enrichment facility, taking off from Hadita would cut the flight time to the target down to about five minutes.
Israeli media was unable to verify the Iraqi report, but Israeli officials have admitted in recent weeks to conducting military maneuvers in preparation for a possible strike on Iran, including a major air force exercise over Greece last month. | aerospace |

Set against the stunning panorama of the world’s largest international naval exercise, Aircraft Carrier immerses audiences in action-packed air operations aboard a city-sized Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Created for giant screens by the director of Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag and Rocky Mountain Express—Aircraft Carrier is captured in 15/70 motion picture film and ultra high-definition digital 3D.
Aircraft Carrier 3D focuses on the world of naval power and the astounding activity and air operations aboard a giant Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the USS Ronald Reagan. The film presents authentically, the true scale and drama of carrier and fleet naval operations to giant screen audiences for the first time.
Viewers find themselves aboard a carrier alongside some 5,000 highly skilled sea and air personnel in the midst of a giant war simulation as part of the vast Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) training exercise. With the participation of 22 nations and more than 50 ships and submarines, 200 aircraft and 25,000 military personnel, a RIMPAC exercise is an astounding experience. Aircraft Carrier puts audiences in the center of the action.
The film reveals the remarkable inner workings of the giant carrier via live action coverage and engineering visualizations, and features aircraft such as the F-35C Lightning, the F35A, as well as the F-18 Super Hornet, and the Osprey. The film depicts the ships of many navies and highlights the range of roles played by naval and air power in a complex, turbulent world: from deterrence to aerial combat and special ops, to piracy prevention and support for humanitarian assistance.
Protecting and defending the world’s oceans has become exceedingly complex and challenging in the 21st century. Naval aviation is considered vital to patrolling the seas and being able to intervene in critical situations across the globe. As described by its organizers, the RIMPAC exercise is a training event geared to fostering and sustaining cooperative relationships critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world’s oceans. At the heart of RIMPAC and its naval and air operations is a giant Nimitz-class aircraft carrier—a high-technology air platform and floating city of remarkable capability.
About the Carrier. The USS Ronald Reagan sailed on her maiden voyage in July 2003. Currently based out of homeport San Diego, the carrier serves the Seventh Fleet headquartered at U.S. Fleet Activities Yokosuka, in Yokosuka, Japan—part of the United States Pacific Fleet. Nuclear-powered, the carrier has an unlimited range and houses a ship’s company of 3,200 along with an air wing of some 2,480 personnel and some 90 aircraft (fixed wing and helicopters).
Making the Film
Principal photography for Aircraft Carrier began with extensive coverage of the massive Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise in July 2014 and continued through 2016. The film also incorporates unprecedented aerial scenes captured by the production crew on and around the USS Ronald Reagan, a US Navy Nimitz-class super carrier, during exercises 100 miles off the coast of southern California. The onboard crew captured 3D scenes of intense flight activities including night launches and landings as well as POV shots from the cockpit of F-18 Super Hornet fighter jets in flight.
Aircraft Carrier had its World Premiere at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, May 24, 2017 with release in IMAX and other giant screen theaters immediately following. Aircraft Carrier is available in both 43-minute and 24-minute versions and in IMAX® laser / 12.0 and in all digital 2D and 3D formats.

This column is reprinted from the February 17, 2012 edition.
I’m a space kid. I was born just over a year after America launched her first man into space and I was named by my mother after that man, Alan Shepard. Many of my earliest memories revolve around the sight of rockets on the launch pad and astronauts in space suits. To me, this was as close as you could get to the Gods of ancient mythology. And one of those astronauts, the second American launched into space, was from right here in Indiana — Virgil I. “Gus” Grissom — from Mitchell, Indiana to be precise. Like my namesake Alan Shepard, Grissom was an original Mercury astronaut who stuck with NASA through to the Apollo program with an eye on walking on the moon someday. If Shepard was my Superman, then Grissom was certainly my Batman.
Gus was born in Mitchell on April 3, 1926. He was a lifelong Boy Scout whose first job was delivering the newspaper. Gus often hung out after school at the Bedford airport. While still in high school he began to take flying lessons from a local attorney who owned his own plane, paying a dollar a lesson. He took the Air Force entrance exam while a high school senior and was inducted into the Army on August 8, 1944 at Fort Benjamin Harrison. He saw no action in World War II and returned home to attain a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University. When the Korean War broke out, Gus re-enlisted, this time in the U.S. Air Force. He flew 100 combat missions and was cited for “superlative airmanship.” He became a test pilot at Edwards Air Force base in California and later at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton Ohio.
In 1958, Grissom received an official “Top Secret” U.S. Government teletype message instructing him to report to an address in Washington D.C. The message instructed Grissom to be sure to arrive in civilian clothes and to tell no one about the “mission.” Upon arrival, Gus found that he was just one of 110 military test pilots vying for 7 spots in something called “Project Mercury.” Gus was chosen for the exclusive space program. He became the second American in space on July 21, 1961, making a 15 minute 37 second suborbital space flight in his Freedom 7 Mercury Redstone 4 space capsule. The flight was a success, the splash landing perfect, but the recovery of the capsule was a disaster. The escape hatch blew open unexpectedly and Gus had to scramble for his life as it rapidly filled with water. Grissom was blamed for the loss of the capsule, even though he barely escaped with his life.
However, Grissom’s skill as a pilot was never in question. When NASA moved away from the Mercury program and into the Gemini program, once again Astronaut Alan B. Shepard was chosen to man the first flight. In early 1964, Shepard was grounded after being diagnosed with Ménière’s disease, an inner ear disorder that can affect hearing and balance, causing vertigo — perhaps not that serious for you and me, but a very bad malady for an astronaut. So Gus Grissom stepped in to replace Shepard as command pilot for Gemini 3, the first manned Project Gemini flight, which flew on March 23, 1965. This mission would make Gus the first NASA astronaut to fly into space twice. The flight made three revolutions of the Earth and lasted 4 hours, 52 minutes and 31 seconds. Although Gus, as mission commander, was chastised for co-pilot John Young’s sneaking aboard of two corned beef sandwiches to eat during the flight (Gus always complained of how bad space food was) causing the air in the capsule to fill with floating crumbs, the flight was declared a rousing success and the Mercury capsule loss bad luck seemed to be finally behind him.
February 21, 1967, was set to be Gus Grissom’s time to shine. He was set to be command pilot for the lead mission of the new Apollo manned lunar landing program as commander of Apollo 1. He would be joined by astronauts Ed White (the first American to “walk” in space) and Roger Chaffee (a fellow Purdue graduate) on a trip that was designed to be a test of the Apollo Command/Space Module as a prelude to placing an American on the moon. But there were problems from the start. During testing of the command module, engineers made 113 actual changes and made an additional 623 change orders to the spacecraft in less than 5 months of testing. Gus was so frustrated with the spacecraft that he picked a lemon from a tree in his backyard and hung it from the control panel inside the simulator.
During testing, the crew complained about the amount of the flammable material in the form of the newly created Velcro material and nylon netting that covered the inside of the capsule. The engineers explained that these materials would be handy to the crew for holding tools and equipment during the non-gravitational space flight. The crew made light of their concerns by sending the engineers a portrait of the crew with their hands clasped in prayer above a mockup of the capsule along with a note reading: “It isn’t that we don’t trust you, but this time we’ve decided we’re to go over your head.”
On January 27, 1967, the crew of Apollo 1 gathered at launch pad 34 on Cape Canaveral for one final dress rehearsal just over 3 weeks away. This last practice run was called a “plugs out” test and would simulate everything except the final lighting of the candle. The test was considered non-hazardous because neither the launch vehicle nor the spacecraft was loaded with fuel or cryogenics, and all pyrotechnic systems were disabled. At 1:00 p.m. EST, the trio entered the capsule, strapped themselves into their seats and connected the air hoses of their pressurized space suits into the interior oxygen system. Almost immediately, Grissom noticed a sickly sweet smell that he described as “sour buttermilk” which delayed the test for 20 minutes while air samples were taken.
The hatch of the capsule was still open and as no source for the odor could be determined, the test was resumed. When the air system was activated and pure oxygen began to flow, the smell went away and the odor was discounted. The countdown was resumed and at 2:42 p.m. the hatch closure procedure was resumed. The hatch consisted of three heavy parts whose installation was a ponderous process. Although it was an impregnable shield designed to keep space out, no one dreamed that it would be a deterrent as an emergency exit for the astronaut occupants. As the hatches were secured, the air inside the capsule was vented and replaced by pure oxygen.
The next problem was communication between the astronauts and the NASA Capcom flight controllers located just a short distance away. The communications problems led a surly Grissom to remark, “How are we going to get to the Moon if we can’t talk between three buildings?” Perturbed, yet undaunted, the crew remained professional and used the time to run through their checklists again.
At 6:30 and 54 seconds, a voltage transient (or energy spike) was recorded. Ten seconds later at 6:31 and 4 seconds, Astronaut Chaffee calmly reported, “Hey, Fire, I smell Fire.” accompanied by scuffling sounds inside the capsule. Two seconds later, Astronaut White’s voice was more insistent: “Fire in the cockpit.” At 6:31 and 7 seconds, Gus Grissom’s unmistakable deep voice then reported, “I’ve got a fire in the cockpit.” At 6:31 and 9 seconds, Astronaut Ed White then yelled, “Fire!” as medical technicians watch his pulse rate jump off the chart on their monitors back at Capcom. The last words of Apollo 1 have been reported variously as being: “They’re fighting a bad fire — let’s get out. Open ‘er up” or, “We’ve got a bad fire — let’s get out. We’re burning up” or, “I’m reporting a bad fire. I’m getting out,” and attributed to no one in particular. The transmission between the crew and mission control ended abruptly at 6:31 and 21 seconds with an obvious cry of pain from an unidentified crew member followed by an ominous hiss as the cabin ruptured and outside air rushed into the cabin.
The earth’s atmosphere rushing in effectively caused the capsule to burst into flames and the resulting intense heat, dense smoke and toxic fumes hampered the ground crew’s attempts to rescue the crew. It took five minutes to open all three hatch layers. By this time the fire inside the capsule, robbed of its pure oxygen environment, had gone out. The smoke cleared, the bodies were found, the crew’s fate was discovered.
The fire had partly melted Grissom’s and White’s nylon space suits and the hoses connecting them to the life support system. Grissom had freed himself from his restraints and his body was found lying on the floor of the spacecraft. White’s restraints were burned through, and he was found lying on his side below the hatch. It was later determined that he died trying to open the hatch per the emergency procedure, but was unable to budge it against the internal pressure. Chaffee was found strapped into his right-hand seat, as procedure called for him to maintain communication until White opened the hatch. Official NASA emergency escape procedures required a minimum of 90 seconds, but, in practice, the crew had never accomplished the feat in the minimum time. It was later confirmed the crew had died of smoke inhalation with burns contributing. Truth is, Grissom, White and Chaffee never had a chance.
The cause of the fire was attributed to a frayed wire at the feet of Gus Grissom on the left side of the capsule, which would explain how Chaffee, seated in the middle, was the first to report it. It has been estimated that the fire most likely burned for 5 to 6 seconds before anyone noticed it.
Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee are interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Ed White is interred at the United States Military Academy cemetery in West Point, New York. Locally, 65 miles north of Indianapolis between Kokomo and Peru, Bunker Hill Air Force base was renamed Grissom Air Force Base on May 12, 1968. Today it is known as Grissom Air Reserve Base. An Apollo 1 mission patch was left on the Moon’s surface after the first manned lunar landing by Apollo 11 crew members Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
And that “Sour Buttermilk” smell that was seen as the precursor to disaster first reported by Gus Grissom? The accident investigation determined that this odor was not related to the fire in any way. But for those among you who believe in superstition, one survives today that might declare Gus’s sensory premonition an omen of portent. In ancient Irish tradition, the spilling of milk means bad luck, whether it was spilt by someone by design or accident. Bad luck and controversy certainly seemed to follow Gus Grissom around. As for me, he’ll always be a Hoosier hero.

The Perth-based company is transitioning from the operation of an RMP-1 3D printer to the new machine which incorporates Aurora’s patented MCP (multi-layer concurrent printing) functionality to increase laser exposure and reduce recoat times.
It ensures custom parts or components can be prototyped and printed in serial production runs, quickly and at costs which cannot be achieved through traditional manufacturing methods.
Central to the AL250’s functionality is a unique powder-dosing mechanism whereby the powder is conditioned with heat prior to being deposited to the recoating system.
It allows powders to be at optimal temperatures for spreading and densifying to build a consistent layer, which can reduce mechanical defects within parts and ensures a quality repeatable build.
The AL250 holds a build plate heater capable of reaching temperatures of 200° Celsius for extra capability in materials research, as well as strict environmental control processes which allow monitoring of the flow and recirculation of gases, temperature and humidity during printing in the build chamber.
Laser power is reported to be at the top of its class with 1500 watts per laser available for use on highly-reflective or conductive powders such as copper.
Potential customers will be able to purchase efficient and optimised laser parameters for processing a variety of powder materials.
Aurora’s target markets for the AL250 commercial printer includes the defence, aerospace and oil and gas industries, as well as engineering specialists and original equipment manufacturers with libraries of complex parts made in bespoke production runs.
The company said the printer’s ability to solve complex problems with parts through generative designs would be key to demonstrating its strength and flexibility to the wider market. | aerospace |
