Veterans who served boots-on-the-ground in Vietnam during the Vietnam War are presumed to have been exposed to the toxic herbicide Agent Orange. During the war, C-123 aircraft sprayed Agent Orange over vast areas of forest in Vietnam during Operation Ranch Hand.
These planes were later sent back to the United States and were used by the Air Force and Air Force reserves. Service members who worked on C-123s may have been exposed to Agent Orange without having step foot in Vietnam.
After hearing complaints of health concerns from Air Force reservists who crewed C-123 aircraft, the VA asked the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to study possible exposures and adverse health effects in those who worked and crewed C-123 aircraft.
The report, Post-Vietnam Dioxin Exposure in Agent Orange-Contaminated C-123 Aircraft was released in January 2015. According to the VA’s website, the report found that “approximately 1,500 to 2,100 Air Force Reserve personnel trained and worked on C-123 aircraft that had previously been used to spray herbicides, including Agent Orange, in Vietnam.”
The report found that those Reservists who had regular contact with the aircraft could have been exposed to chemicals from herbicide residue, and that their exposure could result in adverse health effects. Reservists may have been exposed to TCDD, a toxic byproduct of the production of Agent Orange, through hand-to-mouth transfer, inhalation, or ingestion by contaminated food or water.
The Presumptive Rule
Based on the findings of this report, the VA added those exposed to Agent Orange through contact with C-123 aircraft to their herbicide presumptive regulation. The regulation now includes “individuals who performed service in the Air Force or Air Force Reserves who regularly operated, maintained, or served onboard C-123 aircraft known to have been used to spray herbicides during the Vietnam era.”
The VA website notes that the following individuals may qualify for Agent Orange exposure-related benefits:
- Active duty personnel who served in a regular United States Air Force unit location where a contaminated C-123 was assigned who had regular contact with the aircraft through flight, ground, or medical duties between 1969 and 1986, and who developed Agent Orange related disabilities.
- Reservists who were assigned to flight, ground, or medical crew duties at the below locations between 1969 and 1986, and who developed Agent Orange related disabilities:
- Lockbourne/Rickenbacker Air Force Base in Ohio (906th and 907th Tactical Air Groups or 355th and 356th Tactical Airlift Squadron)
- Westover Air Force Base in Massachusetts (731st Tactical Air Squadron and 74th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron)
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, International Airport (758th Airlift Squadron)
Agent Orange Related Diseases
Reservist and Air Force service members are eligible for benefits for Agent Orange related disabilities. Agent Orange related diseases include:
- AL Amyloidosis
- Chronic B-Cell Leukemias
- Chloracne, or similar acneform disease
- Diabetes Mellitus Type II
- Hodgkin’s Disease
- Ischemic Heart Disease
- Multiple Myeloma
- Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Early-onset peripheral neuropathy
- Porphyria cutanea tarda
- Prostate Cancer
- Respiratory Cancers, including cancer of the lungs, trachea, bronchus, and larynx,
- Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Space Frontier Foundation
Date Released: Wednesday, August 19, 2009
In the wake of the Augustine Commission’s declaration that the troubled Ares rocket program is unaffordable under any realistic budget projections, the Space Frontier Foundation renewed its call to immediately cancel the costly dead-end project and replace it with multiple commercial vehicles. “Three years ago we published Unaffordable and Unsustainable, declaring that government must henceforth ‘buy all crew and cargo services with a destination of low Earth orbit [from] commercial providers using privately-owned and operated spaceships’,” said Foundation co-Founder Bob Werb.
“For over a decade, we’ve said that continuing to try and develop new government rockets costs too much and delays human exploration beyond Earth orbit,” added co-Founder Rick Tumlinson. “Pouring more money into Ares now is the equivalent of giving a taxpayer-funded I.V. to a corpse. Instead, let’s use those funds to give birth to a new and vibrant space transport industry that might actually make money
and open the space frontier to everyone.”
“Derivatives of proven commercial launch systems, and new ones under development, could meet any reasonable need for heavy lift,” said Foundation co-Founder, James Muncy. “The barrier is psychological: NASA will have to stop pretending it can design cost-effective launch vehicles and instead focus on exploration systems that fit on the launch vehicles taxpayers can really afford.”
Werb concluded: “The choice is clear. We can continue funding an overpriced, government space limousine, or we can kick-start a whole new industry that will reduce government’s costs and create new jobs. The tools of private sector innovation and competition offer our best and only chance to have affordable and sustainable human space exploration.”
Excalibur Almaz Limited (EA), an international space exploration company, today announced plans to open up a new era of private orbital space flight for commercial customers, using updated elements of the “Almaz” space system originally developed by JSC MIC NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia.
Realization of EA’s project with technical assistance from NPOM will allow regular access to and from space. This project joins Russian space technology expertise with an international private enterprise to create a commercial offering of orbital spaceflight services for global customers.
EA plans to offer week-long orbital space flights beginning as early as 2013 –
taking a big leap beyond the sub-orbital flight market targeted by most other private space companies. In addition to NPOM, other leading aerospace firms in the U.S., Europe and Japan will provide technical support for EA’s space flight operations
The original Almaz space system technology, comprising reusable reentry vehicle (RRV) and space station, was successfully tested in flight by NPOM. Working with NPOM and its international contractors, EA is now updating the spacecraft to conduct crew and cargo space missions for private individuals, corporations, academic institutions and national governments.
EA Founder and CEO Art Dula said, “Through cooperation with NPOM and with the support of leading space contractors around the world and an exceptionally strong management and advisory team, EA is in a unique position to initiate a new era of private orbital space exploration.”
Cosmonaut Vladimir Titov, advisor to EA in Russia, said, “With this announcement, the dream of private orbital space exploration may become a reality in the very near future.”
EA has ownership of several Almaz spacecraft, including reusable reentry vehicles (RRVs) and space stations.
EA will tailor space missions to accommodate customer objectives including exploration, cargo transportation and experimentation. On selected missions, spacecraft and space stations would provide platforms for microgravity scientific experiments, potentially serving the needs of governments and academic institutions.
EA’s spacecraft will consist of two parts: an RRV and an expendable service module to provide crewmembers with room to comfortably operate during spaceflight. EA will update the Almaz RRVs with flight-proven technologies where appropriate, while retaining tested legacy systems to ensure safety and economy of operation. A critical feature of the RRVs is their reusability, which will reduce logistical, overhead and program costs for commercial access to space.
EA plans for its spacecraft to be compatible with a number of launch vehicles and capable of being launched from worldwide sites.
In addition to NPOM, leading aerospace firms contracting with EA include Space Flight Operations (SFO), a subsidiary of United Space Alliance, of the U.S.; Paragon Space Development Corporation of the U.S.; Qwaltec of the U.S.; EADS Astrium Space Transportation of Europe; and Japan Manned Space Systems (JAMSS) of Japan. EA has also formed strategic alliances with academic institutions including Rice University of the U.S and the International Space University of France, and is an Industry Forum member of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute of the U.S.
Established in 2005, EA is incorporated, headquartered and registered on the Isle of Man in the British Isles. EA’s support contractors are in Russia, Europe, Japan and the U.S. EA’s founders, executives and advisors include astronauts, cosmonauts and commercial aerospace business entrepreneurs.
International Launch Services (ILS) successfully carried the AsiaSat 5 satellite into orbit today on an ILS Proton for Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited (AsiaSat) of Hong Kong. This was the fourth commercial mission of the year for ILS and the sixth successful Proton launch of 2009. From contract signing to launch, the full integration of the AsiaSat 5 mission was completed in less than six months.
The ILS Proton Breeze M launched from Pad 39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 1:47 a.m. today local time (3:47 a.m. in Hong Kong, August 12, 19:47 GMT, August 11 and 3:47 p.m. EDT, August 11). After a 9 hour 15 minute mission, the Breeze M successfully released the AsiaSat 5 satellite, weighing over 3.7 metric tons, into geo-transfer orbit. This was the 347th launch for the Proton. The Proton Breeze M vehicle is developed and built by Khrunichev Research and Production Space Center of Moscow, Russia’s premier space manufacturer.
Built by Space Systems/Loral, AsiaSat 5 will replace AsiaSat 2 at the orbital location of 100.5 degrees East. This new satellite with an enhanced pan Asian C-band footprint and high-power Ku-band beams over East Asia, South Asia, and an in-orbit steerable Ku beam, will provide advanced satellite services including television broadcast, telephone networks and VSAT networks for broadband multimedia services across the Asia Pacific. The satellite is based on the Space Systems/Loral 1300 platform, designed for a lifespan of 15 years. The station-keeping lifetime of the satellite may be even longer as a result of the performance of the ILS Proton launch vehicle.
Frank McKenna, President of ILS said, “This full integration and successful launch on ILS Proton of AsiaSat 5 in less than six months was a focused team effort on behalf of ILS, Khrunichev, AsiaSat and Space Systems/Loral. This is the real value that ILS/Proton offers our customers and we are proud to have met AsiaSat’s demanding business imperative for the replacement strategy of AsiaSat 2.”
“Launching AsiaSat 5 on ILS Proton was the best solution to meet our planned schedule for AsiaSat 2 replacement, to assure service continuity for all users on AsiaSat 2. We are most grateful for the diligence, professionalism and dedication demonstrated by ILS and Khrunichev to achieve on time delivery that is simply unmatched,” said Peter Jackson, Chief Executive Officer of AsiaSat.

Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) anounced the successful completion of qualification testing for the Falcon 9 launch vehicle first stage tank and interstage.
Testing took place at SpaceX’s Texas Test Site, a 300 acre structural and propulsion testing facility, located just outside of Waco, Texas.
The first stage tank and interstage hardware were subjected to a proof test of 1.1 times the maximum expected operating pressure (MEOP), and a burst pressure proof test of 1.4 MEOP; qualifying both articles with a 1.4 factor of safety. The 1.4 factor of safety designation means that the first stage tank and the interstage can withstand 140 percent the maximum internal pressure expected during flight, and qualifies both pieces of hardware to meet human rating safety requirements, as defined by NASA. The first stage also passed this human rating milestone when subjected to structural bending tests.
The testing regimen included over 150 pressurization cycles, exceeding the number of required life cycles by more than 100. In addition, the first stage and interstage were subjected to stiffness tests, maximum dynamic pressure loading and main engine cutoff conditions; all at expected values, as well as ultimate loads.
“Falcon 9 continues to pass qualification testing in preparation for its first flight, scheduled for 2009,” said Elon Musk, CEO and CTO of SpaceX. “All hardware was designed to be man-rated, and these tests confirm that SpaceX is one step closer to flying humans on the Falcon 9/Dragon system.”
Falcon 9′s first stage and interstage also passed ground wind qualification tests, critical for when the vehicle is vertical on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Both components were designed, built and tested by SpaceX.
Google Lunar X PRIZE contender Odyssey Moon Limited today is announcing its partnership with the International Space School Education Trust (ISSET) and their customer Moonlink Ltd. of Yorkshire to put a British science instrument on the Moon.
Moonlink has signed up with the International Space School Educational Trust (ISSET) to set aside one kilogram of payload capacity on Odyssey Moon’s “MoonOne” lunar lander, to be launched to the Moon in late 2012. Moonlink will be heading up a county wide competition driving innovation in schools, universities, and local industry in the form of a competition to design, build, and fly an experiment to the Moon.
Chris Barber, director of ISSET, said: “It is a world-class opportunity to discover the unfound genius of Yorkshire. Also, importantly, the building of a lunar experiment in Yorkshire will increase jobs, together with research and development capabilities in the region.”
The competition will be open to students from UK universities, colleges and high schools, with individual entries also invited from the public. Full-details regarding participation in the competition will be announced after summer.
Gary Fawcett, chief executive of Link Telecom, one of the UK’s leading private sector sponsors of education-related initiatives, has been appointed Managing Director of Moonlink. “The project will put Yorkshire at the forefront of technological discovery in the UK and help increase both the prestige and confidence of the region,” he said. “It will provide spin-off technologies and business opportunities, raise the county’s technological and innovative profile, boost the self-esteem of the region and help create new employment opportunities.”
Fawcett and Barber also aim to leverage the mission to increase research capabilities among Yorkshire universities and intensify student and pupil interest in STEM partnerships – a series of regional hubs
that provide up-to-date information, support and advice to schools about quality science technology engineering and mathematics activities that enhance and enrich the curriculum.
“Yorkshire is literally now leading the world in innovation,” said Odyssey Moon chairman Dr. Ramin Khadem. “We are thrilled to have ISSET and Moonlink onboard.”
“This is a fantastic opportunity for students and an inspiration to all of us,” said Odyssey Moon CEO, Dr. Robert Richards. “Seeing a program like this makes me wish I was back at school as a student again. I hope this educational competition model catches on worldwide.” | aerospace |
https://blog.ucsusa.org/gregory-kulacki/strategic-options-for-chinese-space-science-and-technology/ | 2023-12-07T18:36:21 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100677.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20231207153748-20231207183748-00121.warc.gz | 0.929766 | 472 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__283260019 | en | Last spring the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) produced a report that included a lengthy section on the future of Chinese space science and technology. A translation with commentary is now available on the UCS website.
The report articulates a strategic vision for Chinese space science and technology that should give pause to U.S. observers who believe Chinese investments in space technology are driven primarily by military objectives.
Defense applications for space technology are discussed in the CAS report, but they take a back seat to civilian ones, including coping with climate change, managing resources, responding to natural disasters and generating economic returns. The report identifies space debris, space environmental awareness and the emergence of global norms for behavior in space as new issues for Chinese policy-makers. CAS acknowledges human spaceflight is politically important but suggests it should compete with other Chinese space priorities on economic, scientific and technical grounds. The human program is currently administered by the General Armaments Department of the People’s Liberation Army.
The report also calls for significant changes in Chinese space policy and administration.
CAS notes that China’s Shenzhou human spaceflight program and its Chang E robotic lunar exploration program both receive significant domestic and international media attention as well as generous financial support. But CAS warns that without reforms in Chinese national space policy and administration, these expensive, high-profile programs should not be expected to make significant contributions to the primary objective of China’s national investment in space science and technology, which the report identifies as new scientific knowledge and technical capabilities that serve overall national development. This is not because these programs are unsuccessful, but because they are not organized and administered effectively. According to the report, Chinese space activities are currently managed by a hodgepodge of military and civilian entities that do not effectively coordinate objectives, manage resources or share data.
CAS calls on China’s political leadership to create an “actual national space agency” to run all of China’s space programs. The agency would be overseen by a single special committee. If enacted, these reforms would put all Chinese military, commercial and scientific satellite programs under a unified administrative body that reports directly to the central political authorities. Such a development could radically transform China’s current approach to national space policy, including making it more transparent and accountable to the expectations of the international space community. | aerospace |

North Dakota State University research and Extension personnel are collaborating with Elbit Systems of America to compare the usefulness and economics of imagery collected from a large unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), small UAS and satellite imagery. Project personnel are using a large UAS powered with an internal combustion engine to collect high-resolution imagery over 100,000 acres twice each month during the crop growing season. Four-band multispectral Imagery is also being collected twice each month with the large UAS at 4,000’, 6,000’ and 8,000’ altitude over the 4x40 mile corridor. Researchers are using small UAS to collect imagery of selected fields within the flight corridor. Since current US Federal Aviation Administration regulations require UAS line-of-sight operation, project personnel are flying a manned aircraft chase plane within visual line of sight of the UAS with a visual observer onboard. Agricultural research objectives include using the various types and sources of imagery to detect selected crop diseases, nutrient deficiencies in corn, wheat and soybeans, and impacts of excess soil moisture on crop development. Collaborating farmers are sharing detailed soil analyses and field observations, in-field optical sensor data, and crop harvest yield data in selected fields. All project imagery is transferred to, and securely stored, on NDSU Center for Computationally Assisted Science and Technology (CCAST) computers. Image processing and analyses is conducted using desktop computers. All imagery collected on the project is being made available to each land owner and agricultural producers within the image collection corridor. The project is funded jointly by the North Dakota Department of Commerce and Elbit Systems of America.
This research project analyzed 21 years of historical weather data from the Oklahoma Mesonet system. The data examined the practicality of flying unmanned aircraft for various agricultural purposes in Oklahoma. Fixed-wing and rotary wing (quad copter, octocopter) flight parameters were determined and their performance envelope was verified as a function of weather conditions. The project explored Oklahoma’s Mesonet data in order to find days that are acceptable for flying unmanned aircraft and determining specific time periods which meet criteria for varying degrees of accuracy. Since Oklahoma has great regional variability in weather and crops, the flight recommendations were assigned to specific Mesonet sites. The results of this work will help define optimum dates of flight for specific crop issues and determine which Mesonet sites to utilize for those crops. Weather data studied included wind speed and direction, cloud cover, relative humidity, precipitation, and solar radiation. Varying levels of UAV/sensor performance based on data requirements (i.e., pretty pictures, relative NDVI, geo-rectified radiometric imagery, research-grade data) were considered when establishing flyable weather criteria.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the lawful use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), also known as Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), or more commonly as drones, are currently limited to military, research, and recreational applications. Under the FAA’s view, commercial uses of drones are illegal unless approved by the Federal government. This will change in the future. Congress authorized the FAA to develop regulations for the use of drones by private parties in the U.S by September 30, 2015 (FAA Modernization Act of 2012). FAA missed this deadline, but expects comprehensive regulations for drones to be completed by June 2016 (Jansen, 2015).
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and a stereovision approach were implemented to generate a 3D reconstruction of the top of the canopy. The 3D reconstruction or CSM (crop surface model) was utilized to evaluate biophysical parameters for both spatial- and temporal-scales. The main goal of the project was to evaluate sUAVs technology to assist plant height and biomass estimation. The main outcome of this process was to utilize CSMs to gain insights in the spatial-temporal dynamic of plants within the experiment. Four experiments were carried out during 2015 corn growing season and utilized for ground-truth validation. The experiments were located at Ashland Bottoms Research Farm, Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS). Flight missions and ground-truthing were accomplished at two critical stages of biomass accumulation. At known locations individual plant height and biomass were measured and correlated to plant height estimation at the same locations in the CSMs. Same samples plants were then compared to a stem volume estimation by mixing estimated plant height from the CSM and ground stalk diameter from the same plants and locations. Plant height correlation was stronger at flowering stage than 2 weeks –prior flowering. Plant biomass estimation became stronger by adding ancillary field data. Per-plant basis results suggested that the CSMs could assist prediction of biophysical variables. Outcomes from this study confirmed that UASs could assist predicting “key” traits (“on-farm rapid phenotyping”).
Active crop canopy sensors have been used to non-destructively estimate nitrogen (N) nutrition index (NNI) for in-season site-specific N management. However, it is time-consuming and challenging to carry the hand-held active crop sensors and walk across large paddy fields. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing is a promising approach to overcoming the limitations of proximal sensing. The objective of this study was to combine unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based remote sensing system and Crop Circle ACS-430 to estimate rice (Oryza sativa. L.) N status for guiding topdressing N application in Northeast China. Two N rate experiments involving two different varieties were conducted in 2014 at Jiansanjiang Experiment Station of China Agricultural University, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China. An active canopy sensor Crop Circle ACS-430 with three spectral bands (red(R), red edge (RE) and near infrared (NIR)) and an Octocopter UAV equipped with a Mini Multi-Camera Array (Mini-MCA) imaging system with five spectral bands (blue (B), green (G), R, RE and NIR) were used to collect reflectance data at the panicle initiation (PI) and stem elongation (SE) stages. The preliminary results indicated that Crop Circle ACS430-based vegetation indices (VIs) explained 79-80% and 86-87% variability of aboveground biomass (AGB) and plant N uptake (PNU), respectively, but had very poor relationship with plant N concentration (PNC) (R2 = 0.16-0.21) across all stages. The N sufficiency index (NSI) calculated with Crop Circle ACS-430 vegetation indices (NNI-VIs) had better correlation with NNI than the original VIs, especially at SE stage and across both stages, with the best R2 of 0.65 and 0.69. UAV-based remote sensing VIs could be used to estimate Crop Circle VIs and NSI-VIs very well at both growth stages. The NSIVIs-NNI approach performed well for diagnosing rice N status. Combining UAV-based remote sensing system and Crop Circle ACS-430 had a good potential for in-season diagnosis of rice N status at PI stage, with the highest accuracy rate (90%) and kappa statistics (0.62), but did not perform well at SE stage and across both stages. More studies are needed to further evaluate these different strategies.
Today’s intensive agricultural production needs to increase its efficiency in order to keep its profitability in the current market of decreasing prices on one hand, and to reduce the environmental impact on the other. Crop growers are starting to adopt side dressing nitrogen fertilization as part of their fertilization programs, for which they need accurate information about biomass development and nitrogen condition in the crop. This information is usually acquired through ground sampling, missing the spatial variability, and therefore forcing an average field-base management.
The Robin System has shown high capability for identifying spatial variability throughout a large range of crops and conditions. These results have established the basis to start developing algorithms for the retrieval of quantitative biophysical parameters. Synthetic data was used for establishing empirical relationships between crops’ biophysical parameters and reflectance data. A large Look-Up-Table (LUT) was build, from which the most reliable and sensitive functions were selected for retrieving Chlorophyll content and Leaf Area Index (LAI) from the Robin Eye spectral bands.
The main objective of this study was to validate the crop biophysical parameters retrieved using the selected LUT functions from two Robin Eye images that were acquired over wheat crop in South Africa during the southern winter season of 2015. Between the two acquisition dates, ground sampling was performed for biomass and nitrogen content analysis. As the sampling was performed after the first image was acquired, the definition of the sampling points was performed from the first image so to characterize the spatial variability of the field. A coefficient of determination of 0.96 was obtained for the LAI vs. Biomass relationship, while 0.97 for the Chlorophyll Content vs. Nitrogen concentration relationship. These results confirm that the combination of highly sensitive and accurate data together with robust theoretical models, can generate reliable and valuable information for the crop decision making process. | aerospace |

What we perceive to be a drone can differ depending on your knowledge and there are many different varieties of drone! There was a time when drones were a technology released only for the use of the military, more commonly named UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle) or RPAS (Remotely Piloted Air System) but the amazing journey of the technology allows drones to now be widely available to the public to use recreationally and commercially. The many different types of drone allow many different people to enjoy the technology and discover the fun of piloting drones.
Are there different types of drones?
The simple answer to this questions is yes! With drones now widely available commercially and on the internet, there are many different drone types that cover different budgets and usage needs. The most common type of drone available is the quadcopters, the drones with four blades. On one end of the market there are drones classified as toys – these are small, lightweight and easy to operate, often with the supervision of adults. This means that even children can enjoy the fun of drone flying! These are usually stunt drones, even radio controlled helicopters are a type of drone toy as it still can be airborne! On the other end of the market, there are drones that have image capture capabilities with varying camera qualities. These are often used commercially with businesses, media outlets and photographers who want to achieve a different style of camera angle.
What should I be aware of about drones?
This is a great question, and whilst we know that operating drones is great fun there are certain things you should be aware of before flying your drone. It’s important to think about rules that might in place to ensure you fly your drone safely and responsibly at the same time as enjoying it but also keeping within the regulations set out by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Below are some steps to think about before taking you drone for a spin:
- When flying your drone, it can’t go any higher than 400ft in the air. This is usually to make sure that you don’t cause collisions with any other aircraft that might be in the air.
- Keep your drone in your line of sight at all times. This allows you to keep an eye on anything you might bump into whilst flying it and ensures you don’t lose it if it runs out of power.
- There are distance limits in place for example; 50m away from people and properties, 150m from crowds and built-up areas.
- It is important not to fly close to any aircraft or airports as this can affect safety and cause disruption. The law is to stay 1km away from an airport perimeter.
- Flying with a camera can be great fun as you can get a different perspective of the world around you. But be mindful of what you might be capturing and that it doesn’t break any privacy laws – usually this means images of people or restricted areas.
The steps above allow you to keep enjoying your drone and staying mindful of your safety and others around you. It is important to note that you are responsible for your drone, so if you are enjoying your drone with others and you let your friends use it make sure to be with them when they do so! If you decide you would like to use your drone for commercial use, it is important to get more information on the CAA website as you will require a licence to operate.
Can my drone be too heavy?
In recent years, regulations for drone flying have been updated. The steps listed in the previous section mainly apply to drones that weigh under 250g. If you’re drone weighs over this then there are extra precautions to be taken alongside these steps. It is required by law to register your drone with the CAA, and follow these three main requirements:
- Pass an online test that gets you a flyer ID
- Register for an operator ID
- Label any drones you own
In the next few years it is expected that fliers will be required to use a mobile app that maps out flight paths and detects other aircraft.
With these safety measures in place, it allows people to enjoy the use of drone flight and enjoy a technology that can be used in many different ways! | aerospace |

Arthur Marcus Fitzgerald, RAF(VR) 148128
Web site..... http://www.lancastered627.bravehost.com
Arthur Marcus Fitzgerald was born on February 13, 1923 at Newport, Monmouthshire, UK. His parents were Gerald Fitzgerald and Harriet (nee McGuire). He was one of three brothers, the others being Donald and Albert. Before joining the RAF, he worked as a clerk in Newport.
He joined the RAF on April 4, 1941 and was posted to the Oxford Reserve. He continued his flying training through-out 1941 and in 1942 was sent for further training to Canada and the USA. While in North America he trained at Turner Field, Carleston Field and at the Advanced Flying school at Gunter Field. He returned to the UK to complete his training and finally on June 8, 1943 he was posted to 207 Squadron, based at Langar airfield, Nottinghamshire.
207 Squadron Motto.... Always Prepared
Arthur flew his first op on June 12/13, 1943 on a raid to bomb the town of Bochum. Altogether he completed twelve "Operations" including the famous raid on August 17/18, 1943 to bomb Peenemunde, the V1 and V2 rocket research establishment. Between July and August 1943, he was promoted to Pilot Officer.
His thirteenth raid took place on August 27/28 1943 and was an op to bomb the city of Nuremberg. Arthur failed to return from this op and he, along with the other six crew members, perished when their aircraft, Lancaster, ED627, EM-N of 207 Squadron was shot down near the town of Schwäbisch Hall, Germany. Another aircraft of the same squadron, EM-V was also shot down at the same time. This crew also lost their lives.
Arthur's op's took him and his crew on raids, attacking the towns and cities of Bochum, Oberhausen, Mulheim, Wuppertal, Cologne, Mannheim, Peenemunde, Berlin, Nuremberg and in Italy, Turin and Milan.

On January 15th, 2009, Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger made an emergency landing in New York’s Hudson River after US Airways Flight 1549 hit a flock of geese and both plane engines failed. Miraculously, all of the 155 passengers and crew survived the harrowing ordeal, and Sullenberger become a national hero in the eyes of both the public and the media.
Clint Eastwood’s new biographical drama film Sully starring Tom Hanks takes a deep look into the almost unknown aftermath of the emergency landing of Flight 1549 and the investigations that followed. Soon after being hailed a hero for saving all 155 lives on board the ill-fated flight Sullenberger learns that tests conducted for the National Transportation Safety Board suggest that the left engine was simply idled when the birds were struck, and was not completely disabled as Sullenberger claimed.In theory, this would have left Sullenberger with enough power to return to LaGuardia or land at Teterboro. Several flight simulations created from all available data of the incident also concluded that the plane could have been able to safely land at an airport even with both engines disabled. Sullenberger, however, maintained that he did not have enough time, speed or altitude to guide the plane to a safe landing at an airport.
Sullenberger then realises that the NTSB is angling that the accident was due to pilot error which would effectively end his career. In a bid to save his reputation, Sully arranges to have the simulator pilots available for a live recreation at the public hearing on the accident. When both simulations end with successful landings, Sullenberger counters that the simulations are unrealistic without believable accounting for basic human reactions to the incident. When pressed on this, the inquiry board admits that the simulation pilots were allowed several practice sessions before being recorded and there was no time allowed for human reaction.
With this in mind the inquiry board orders the simulation redone, but this time allowing time for human reaction. This time the simulations show that the plane would not have made it back to LaGuardia or to Teterboro. Both would have resulted in non-survivable crashes. With this evidence, the board concludes, that Flight 1549 was an unavoidable accident, and that Sullenberger performed the best possible actions under the circumstances to save lives. (Hero status reinstated!)
Sully is a powerful and inspiring story about bravery, heroism and survival. It definitely left me with a tear in my eye and goose bumps on my arms. What an incredible story! 4 out of 5 Stars! Now Showing. | aerospace |

Aleksandar Milanov and George Penchev
Published: 06 November 2020
Abstract: The purpose of the article is to explore the necessity to establish a new United Nations body, which is authorised to monitor and protect Earth and its organisms from biological contamination from extra-terrestrial sources and to protect outer space from forwarding contamination. Recent studies show that these contaminations could potentially have an extremely detrimental effecton life on Earth and for the safety of future outer space exploration. The study is doctrinal research and primary and secondary legal sources of international space law and environmental law are analysed. The research also applies a theoretical approach to determine what sets of principles should be applied and what intuitional innovation is needed to achieve optimally the goals of improving safety standards. This article presents a proposal for establishing a specialized UN organ to monitor an international agreement for the international planetary quarantine protocol of Earth. The need of establishing a new body in the system of the UN for protection of the Earth’s environment from harmful contamination caused by activities in outer space is quite distinguished. This publication aims also to increase awareness about the need for institutional innovation of the present UN system, particularly concerning global challenges like contamination from outer space and contamination of outer space. One of the major global challenges of today is the absence of safeguards for the protection of Earth from back contamination, an extra-terrestrial source of infection and destruction of space debris on the surface. The proposed new legal instrument would create guarantees for the protection of Earth and the outer space environment, support the adoption of a common space situational awareness system for monitoring and disclosing information about what is happening in outer space.
Keywords: Back contamination, International planetary protocol, New UN body, Contamination of Earth’s environment, Contamination of outer space, Forward contamination. | aerospace |

Doppler radar reliably detects aircraft and activates these warning light systems, even in response to small airborne targets like microlights.
Doppler processing of radar returns provides coherent information about a target's velocity and enables the detection of very small and slow moving objects and targets with a low Radar Cross Section (RCS). Also, through a series of electronic filters, it is able to distinguish between the target and sea, rain and land clutter.
Moving Target Detection (MTD), provides enhanced clutter suppression at the Doppler processing stage and pulse compression of the return signal enabling a low transmit power providing efficient use of the radar. Other Doppler radars may employ less advanced techniques such as Moving Target Indication (MTI), which does not take full advantage of the radial velocity information.

The 15 total people that were on board, including eight crew members and seven passengers, are feared dead amid emergency efforts to reach and assess the crash site. Initial local reports said there were no survivors.
“An Il-76 military transport aviation plane crashed in the Ivanovo region while taking off to perform a scheduled flight. On board were eight crew members and seven passengers,” the defense ministry statement said.
Russian authorities have been further cited as saying that “the cause of the disaster was a fire in one of the engines during take-off.”
It happened over the Ivanovo region, which lies some 125 miles east of Moscow. Shocking video of the large transport plane flying low with one of its engines shooting flames out of it has widely circulated on social media.
Russia’s state-backed RT has written, “According to media reports, the plane’s pilot was trying to return to the Ivanovo Severny air base but was unable to do so.” That’s when the pilot “apparently diverted the doomed aircraft away from a village, crashing it near a cemetery.”
Video which has been authenticated by state media of the large military transport plane going down:

The Il-76 has been in operation since 1971 when it was produced as the Soviet air force’s main heavy transport plane. It is capable of taking some 140 paratroopers into battle.
Russia is believed to have well over 100 Ilyushin Il-76 military transport planes in service by aerial forces, and they also have civilian use. They’ve been heavily relied upon to transport troops and equipment to and from the Ukraine battlefield over the last two years of war.

Back in January, a major disaster unfolded when an Il-76 went down in the the Belgorod region near the border with Ukraine. Russian authorities said Ukraine forces shot the aircraft down, and 65 Ukrainian POWs who were being transported at the time died.
There were also six crew members and three Russian servicemen who perished, and it resulted also in Moscow accusations that a Western-supplied missile had hit the plane. | aerospace |

Joining the likes of the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Concept, the LEGO x NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander, and the LEGO Ideas Airstream NASA Astrovan is the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery Kit kit you see here. What’s extra, this set includes separate display stands for the Hubble Telescope and the Discovery Shuttle you’ll be constructing, so all your bases are coated. The LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery Kit shall be released on April 1st, 2021.
I even have always been completely fascinated by area travel and as partnerships go, LEGO x NASA is a match made in heaven so I was over the moon when this turned up on my doorstep. This is the enduring appeal of the Space Race, and of house exploration more generally, as a result of it represents one thing so much bigger than anybody particular person, country or ideal; one thing we want now greater than ever. Whatever the longer term holds, it’s going to in the end be Voyager 1 and a pair of, now some 15 billion miles away, that carry our enduring legacy out into the nice past. The Space Shuttle Discovery is on sale from 1 April 2021 with 2354 pieces. There are not any minifigs or microfigs included, so I invited some pals. It will retail for 179,99€/ £169.99/ US$199.99/ CA$269.99/ AU$299.99/ NZ$319.ninety nine.
When stowed away, the solar panels fold in so it could possibly fit in the shuttle. LEGO selected the Space Shuttle Discovery to commemorate former NASA Astronaut Kathy Sullivan, the primary girl to walk in space. You can see a full interview along with her on the LEGO web site, where she goes over the numerous details LEGO managed to fit into the set.
New Elements And Recolours In Lego Nasa Space Shuttle Discovery
Take a journey of exploration with this LEGO® NASA Space Shuttle Discovery model constructing kit for adults. Discovery flew extra missions than another shuttle, deploying the Hubble Space Telescope and serving to to construct the International Space Station too. Featuring 2,354 pieces, this partaking new set lets you construct not just a Shuttle, but the legendary Hubble Space Telescope too.
The first American woman to complete a spacewalk in 1984, former NASA Astronaut Kathy Sullivan joined the staff on the Space Shuttle Discovery and went on to participate in the mission to deploy the Hubble Space Telescope in 1990. Today Dr. Sullivan works to assist break down obstacles here on earth and encourage kids, and especially ladies, to contemplate careers in the science, know-how, engineering and mathematics fields. Creative strengthening of the middle part was finally deployed, not least to keep the landing gear working as nicely. “We also had to somehow link the entrance landing gear and the rear landing gear – and a landing perform — through a hollow payload bay,” Madge said with a laugh. Scientist Frederic Bertley and former NASA astronaut Kathryn Sullivan with Lego’s NASA’s Space Shuttle Discovery set. “A common adage within the astronaut corps is plans are nothing, but planning is every little thing,” she said.
They look like die-reduce from the identical materials we saw in the Monkey King Warrior Mech. The dangerous news is that they’re printed on black, again, though LEGO have confirmed this method is on the way out. The good news is that as there’s no dark brown or dark blue you received’t want laser vision and the persistence of a saint to construct this set.
Lego Area Imperial Shuttle Lego Sets & Packs
Measuring over 21″ at its widest level, this adult LEGO kit is comprised of two,354 items that precisely recreate the early-90s-period 249,109lb shuttle. Sold with two stands and plaques for the orbiter and the Hubble Telescope, the LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery Set might be out there in limited numbers with pricing set at $200. VIP members can even buy a supplementary LEGO Ulysses Space Probe to go with the package.
Like most of those earlier house sets, the area shuttle one commemorates an enormous anniversary; April 12, 2021 will be the 40th anniversary of STS-1’s launch, the crewed mission that began the 135 flights of the space shuttle program. Now based mostly in Denmark, Madge mentioned it was a creative challenge to construct a practical shuttle that would nonetheless hold collectively in Lego format. The set is targeted for the adult crowd, versus quite a few different space shuttle units made for kids in past decades. Sullivan herself didn’t use Lego as a child, although she did use erector-kind sets. She stated the challenges of placing things together in the proper method — even when you make a mistake during constructing — apply even during actual-life space missions.
Firstly, what a completely stunning set, and an excellent addition to your LEGO Space assortment. This ode to NASA’s Space Shuttle program is meant to commemorate the original NASA STS-31 mission, over 30 years in the past, which launched the Hubble Telescope – capturing images of our universe, to help us perceive more concerning the nice past.

A delay of this magnitude would be a blow for Boeing’s space programme. After a failed effort a year and a half ago, the business spent years preparing the Starliner, which was meant to launch late last month to dock with the International Space Station without anybody on board.
The capsule’s ultimate goal is to transport humans to the International Space Station. Boeing workers have been attempting to fix a problem with some of the valves in the Starliner propulsion system that was found earlier this month while the plane was parked on a launchpad. Last week, the business announced that it was looking into the valve difficulties, and on Monday, it revealed that 13 valves had failed to open as expected during preflight testing.
The business also stated that it would work with NASA and United Launch Alliance, a joint venture between it and Lockheed Martin Corp. that provides the rocket that would send the Starliner to space, to schedule a new launch “when the spacecraft is ready.” On Monday, Boeing and NASA indicated they had not given up hope of launching the in August. The earliest potential date for another attempt, NASA indicated at the time, would be in the middle of this month. Other missions are scheduled for the space station, aggravating the situation when the tries to return to the facility without crew members. | aerospace |

Understanding Charter Plane Rental Cost
Charter plane rental offers a convenient and luxurious way to travel, especially for those seeking flexibility, privacy, and personalized travel experiences. However, one of the common concerns people have is the cost associated with charter plane rentals.
The cost of charter plane rentals varies depending on several factors, including the duration of the flight, the size and type of the aircraft, the distance traveled, and any additional services or amenities requested. Superior Air understands that transparency is key, and we strive to provide you with the most competitive prices without compromising on quality.
The Factors Affecting Charter Plane Rental Cost
Let's take a closer look at the factors that influence the cost of charter plane rentals:

Get your printer ready
NASA has traveled to places we can only dream about. Spa travel might not be close to reality for us regular people anytime soon, but NASA for sure helps us keeping the dream alive. Check out these new travel posters from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
You can take a virtual trip to 14 alien worlds, and even print out these posters with planetary art in the form of futuristic space tourism posters. The posters are available free for downloading and printing at:
The posters are the brainchild of The Studio at JPL, a design and strategy team that works with JPL scientists and engineers to visualize and depict complex science and technology topics. Their work is used in designing space missions and in sharing the work of NASA/JPL with the public.
Here are a few just to get you excited:
There’s no place like home. Warm, wet and with an atmosphere that’s just right, Earth is the only place we know of with life – and lots of it. JPL’s Earth science missions monitor our home planet and how it’s changing so it can continue to provide a safe haven as we reach deeper into the cosmos.
Astonishing geology and the potential to host the conditions for simple life make Jupiter’s moon Europa a fascinating destination for future exploration. Beneath its icy surface, Europa is believed to conceal a global ocean of salty liquid water twice the volume of Earth’s oceans. Tugging and flexing from Jupiter’s gravity generates enough heat to keep the ocean from freezing. On Earth, wherever we find water, we find life. What will NASA’s Europa mission find when it heads for this intriguing moon in the 2020s.
Discovered in October 2013 using direct imaging, PSO J318.5-22 belongs to a special class of planets called rogue, or free-floating, planets. Wandering alone in the galaxy, they do not orbit a parent star. Not much is known about how these planets come to exist, but scientists theorize that they may be either failed stars or planets ejected from very young systems after an encounter with another planet. These rogue planets glow faintly from the heat of their formation. Once they cool down, they will be dancing in the dark.
NASA’s Voyager mission took advantage of a once-every-175-year alignment of the outer planets for a grand tour of the solar system. The twin spacecraft revealed details about Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – using each planet’s gravity to send them on to the next destination. Voyager set the stage for such ambitious orbiter missions as Galileo to Jupiter and Cassini to Saturn. Today both Voyager spacecraft continue to return valuable science from the far reaches of our solar system.
NASA’s Mars Exploration Program seeks to understand whether Mars was, is, or can be a habitable world. Mission like Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Science Laboratory and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, among many others, have provided important information in understanding of the habitability of Mars. This poster imagines a future day when we have achieved our vision of human exploration of Mars and takes a nostalgic look back at the great imagined milestones of Mars exploration that will someday be celebrated as “historic sites.” | aerospace |

F-22 & P-51 HERITAGE FLIGHT
USAF Heritage Flight is short for the United States Air Force Heritage Flight. It was created in 1997 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the United States Air Force. It incorporates fighters from World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and other conflicts in which the USAF has been involved.
The USAF Heritage Flight formation will normally consist of two or more aircraft representing the different eras of operations, making three passes past the spectators. There will be one pass each from the right and left and then a final pass from behind the crowd with the aircraft performing a separation maneuver to create separation between the aircraft followed a few seconds later by a single simultaneous aileron roll by all the aircraft in the flight.
USAF Heritage Flight performed at the Wings Over Houston air show. Aircraft in the formation from top to bottom are P-51D Mustang, P-47D Thunderbolt, F-4G Phantom II, and F-22A Raptor
During the flypasts there is a musical accompaniment played through the public address system. The music that is normally played is "We Remember" by Dwayne O'Brian.
After the roll maneuver each of the aircraft will then enter the airfield traffic pattern, typically performing an individual pass before the crowd and then "pitching out" into an approach pattern and landing.
The specifics of the performance such as the roll and individual pass and landing may be modified by the weather and whether or not the local runway can safely handle the aircraft (adequate runway length) and if the airport has proper ground support equipment available..

One additional way that the Sun impacts Earth is through the spewing of products of the Sun’s atmosphere directly toward Earth. The Sun releases electrically charged clouds of hot gas out of its atmosphere, and although most of it doesn’t affect us due to Earth’s magnetic field, we still experience some of the effects of the Sun’s atmosphere. The effects of Sun’s atmosphere on Earth is commonly known as “space weather”. Space weather causes some incredible phenomena on Earth, such as the Northern and Southern Lights, as well as Aurora Borealis and Australis. Space weather from the Sun flows down the magnetic field surrounding the Earth, making its way towards the North and South poles. The charged particles released by the Sun’s atmosphere glow in various colors, which can be seen clearly from Earth’s surface near the North and South poles.
Although space weather has some positive effects on Earth, such as the release of charged particles that glow in different colors as they hit Earth, it can cause serious problems if not carefully monitored. Space weather can cause disruptions in infrastructure such as aviation, power grids, and navigation systems. Infrastructure both on Earth’s surface and in nearby space is vulnerable to the effects of space weather. Recently, as we learn more about how space weather effects human infrastructure, precautions are being taken to prevent future damage. The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is currently campaigning to reduce the negative impacts of space weather, by implementing more advanced space weather detection systems and advancing research in how to enhance space weather forecasting abilities. | aerospace |

Airline Pilot Technical Interviews
There are many variations of technical questions that can be asked in an interview; however, there is a specific approach a pilot should take in preparing for this section of the interview. Author Ron McElroy provides an abundance of exercises in the areas of: mental math, approach plates, AIM, regulations, weather, systems and aerodynamics, and cockpit situations to analyze and resolve. Aspiring professional pilots will be prepared to display their flying skills during the simulator ride, as well as their aeronautical knowledge during the face-to-face oral questioning. Not only will this book ensure better performance during a technical interview or test, but you may learn something new that will help you fly the line a little better.
"I found Airline Pilot Technical Interviews very thorough. It covers a
great deal of material and is a must-study for any pilot applicant."

An object launched into the sky and allowed to continue it's flight influenced only by gravity and it's own inertia is a projectile. On the moon, where there is no atmosphere, anything we launch into the sky is a projectile. There is no atmosphere on the moon to exert aerodynamic forces on a moving object.
The atmosphere on Earth changes things a bit. When something is moving relative to the surrounding atmosphere there is an aerodynamic force on the object.

The runway was resurfaced in 2020 as part a major investment by Upper Hunter Shire Council at the site including the airport and Hunter Warbirds Museum.
The upgrade was meant to fix issues with the runway reported by its users including an uneven surface in places.
But Airspeed Aviation owner Ben Wyndham sais what was delivered was worse and came with a large debt for ratepayers.
He said a decision by Upper Hunter Shire Council to take out loans to build infrastructure at Scone Airport has placed an inordinate cost burden on running the facility.
Airspeed Aviation has been the biggest user of the airport for the past ten years.
Mr Wyndham said he is just one of many in the local aviation sector who are concerned about how much debt council has racked up on the airport precinct. | aerospace |

Kordsa, a Sabancı Holding subsidiary, announced today that in furtherance of its efforts to strengthen its strong global leadership in reinforcement technologies, with it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire two advanced composite technology companies in the United States. Following its Composite Technologies Center of Excellence investment, Turkey's first industry-university collaboration investment, Kordsa plans to acquire Fabric Development Inc. (FDI) and Textile Products Inc. (TPI), which provide advanced composite materials to the commercial aviation industry, with an investment of approximately USD 100 million. With the acquisition, Kordsa will strengthen its position in the United States, as well as become a strong player in the commercial aviation industry supply chain, which is expected to grow by at least 10% annually over the next 5 years. The consummation of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including certain U.S. government approvals. Kordsa expects to complete the acquisition in the first quarter of 2018.
Sabancı Holding CEO Mehmet Göçmen made a statement regarding the acquisition: "In line with our “Sabancı of New Generation” approach, this acquisition will enable Kordsa to take an important step forward in the area of advanced composite technologies, which is in our scope of future targeted industries. Kordsa will be among the major suppliers of commercial aviation industry with this acquisition. This new step will ensure that Kordsa is a strategic supplier of key players in aerospace and civil aviation, particularly Boeing and Toray Composites Materials America Inc. This investment will contribute greatly to our innovation-oriented growth strategy at Sabancı Group while enabling our industrial companies to export technology as a part of our open innovation mindset. We will continue to work in an effort to strengthen the position of both our Group and our country in global competition with our commitment to be "Sabancı of Turkey", as much in the future as we are today. "
Sabancı Holding Industry Group President Cenk Alper said in relation to the acquisition: "In an era of transformation in mobility services, the position and technology acquired through this purchasing decision will make an important contribution to the differentiation of our Group companies. Following the announcement of our market entry strategy for composite technologies in 2013, we took the first step with the Composite Technologies Center of Excellence investment in 2016. In the wake of approximately USD 100 Million investment we undertake, we will have an important presence in the commercial aviation value chain and strengthen our position in the US. We plan to pursue additional acquisition opportunities while developing new technologies in Turkey and exporting to the world, with the aim of being a global player in composite technologies. "
Kordsa CEO Ali Çalışkan expressed the following regarding the acquisition of FDI and TPI companies: " This investment will allow Kordsa, within our composite technologies strategy, to now reinforce the wings and fuselage of an aircraft, in addition to our legacy aircraft tire reinforcement capabilities. Following the consummation of the acquisition of FDI and TPI companies in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, Kordsa will operate on 4 continents with its 10 plants. As Kordsa, we will continue to reinforce life and take firm steps forward. " | aerospace |

Unencumbered by doors or internal dimensions of a cabin fuselage, it would handle objects of sizes and shapes that could never be carried internally. A prototype went airborne for the first time on May 9th, and, inproduction rights for the series was obtained by Erickson Air-Crane which has taken on manufacture of the large helicopter from Sikorsky since.
By the time the S was lost in an accident inits turbine-powered successor was well under way. The S did its job, demonstrating the usefulness of the crane idea and impressing military planners and buyers. Originally a Sikorsky Aircraft product, the type certificate and manufacturing rights were purchased from them by Erickson Air-Crane in They immediately pointed out that making such drastic changes would require considerable engineering and fabrication, not to mention FAA approval.

That no one actually ever landed on the moon. Not Neil Armstrong, not Buzz Aldrin. No one.
His proof? We have not been back to the moon since and have very little hard evidence to prove we were ever there in the first place.
Now, I’m all for skepticism, but what would be the point of space exploration without traveling to our closest planet-like object? With all the recent hullabaloo about the anniversary of the Apollo moon landing in 1969, I believe it is warranted conversation to debate the likelihood that people actually did travel to the moon, landed there, walked around, staked an American flag in its surface, collect some moon rocks and head back to Earth. It would seem like an awful lot of trouble to cover this up.
Oh, by the way, this person pushing this theory also believes that the end of the world is coming in 2012 and that it is more expensive to live in Portland, Ore., than in California. It’s possible his conception of reality is a little off anyway. What do you think? | aerospace |

Parts for NASA’s Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) arrive in a shipping container at Building 1555 at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. CYGNSS is being prepared at Vandenberg, and then will be transported to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in the Orbital ATK Pegasus XL rocket which will be attached to the Orbital ATK L-1011 carrier aircraft. CYNSS will launch on the Pegasus XL rocket from the Skid Strip at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. CYGNSS will make frequent and accurate measurements of ocean surface winds throughout the life cycle of tropical storms and hurricanes.

Shu Mansheng, Hubei farmer in China, has launched a new flying backpack, which can carry people for more than ten minutes in the air with four rotors and eight motors. It took the farmer three days to finish the flying backpack, and after dozens of experiments, his son and daughter had experienced the flying test.
Can safety problems be guaranteed when flying in self-made aircraft? He has tried to fly countless times, and Shu Mansheng has been injured dozens of times. In the most serious case, he was thrown out of the plane because the plane was out of control, and the whole person fell to the ground, resulting in a smashed fracture of the sole of his foot.
Many netizens, worried about the safety of self-made flying backpacks, also pointed out that unapproved flight test activities may be illegal. According to relevant laws and regulations, only when the aircraft manufacturer, the aircraft itself and the flight test personnel meet the relevant conditions can they organize legal flight test activities, a staff member of Hubei Administration of civil aviation of China said on Tuesday. In order to encourage aviation enthusiasts to carry out aviation activities, the civil aviation department will generally not punish them if there is no harm caused to ground personnel and no consequence.
Shu Mansheng told gmtlight of Beiqing daily that compared with other aircrafts, the design of flying backpack is simpler and smaller, which is more suitable for single aircrafts. There are 4 rotors on the top of the flying backpack, which are driven by 8 motors, and seats for people are installed on the bottom. The whole machine weighs about 35kg, is about 1.1m high, and costs 10000 yuan(about USD1600).
From design to production, it took only 3 days for Shu Mansheng to make the prototype of the flying backpack. However, most of the raw materials purchased in the market are only suitable for unmanned flight. After nearly 100 times tests, Shu Mansheng has been continuously improving and innovating, and it took more than three months before and after.
Shu Mansheng introduced that he asked professional engineers to adjust the flight control system program to make the machine fly more gentle and more stable. "When the UAV takes off or lands, it will take off at once, but for the manned machine, it is very dangerous, so we change the program to make it fly more smoothly," Shu said.
In the experimental phase, the flying backpack suddenly fell from two meters in the air. Shu Mansheng studied for a long time and didn't find the reason. Later, he found that the problem was in the motor. The traditional three-axis six motor and four-axis eight motor were not suitable for this kind of flight, so Shu Mansheng connected the two motors in series and adopted the "two for one" mode. This problem never occurred again.
Shu Mansheng introduced that, for the sake of safety, in the flight test stage, he first tested the load capacity, conducted unmanned test, and conducted manned test after the test was safe. At present, this flying backpack can fly for 10-15 minutes with a load of 50-60 kg and 10 minutes with a load of 70 kg.
In actual flight, there are three modes to control the flying backpack: automatic, semi-automatic and pure manual. Shu Mansheng told reporters that the flying backpack's rising speed is 10 meters / second. According to its endurance, it can fly tens of meters or even hundreds of meters. But in reality, for safety reasons, it did not exceed 10 meters during the test flight. "Because of the cost, I bought the cheapest remote control, afraid of flying high and far out of control."
Seeing his father in his homemade flying backpack, Shu Mansheng's children are also eager to try, asking to try. Shu told reporters that his children's friends wanted to test fly, but he refused.
When he was a child, Shu had a dream of flying and wanted to be an aircraft designer, but he failed to achieve it due to the constraints. only after junior high school, he dropped out of school and worked as a housekeeper. Later, he worked in auto repair, apartment, etc.
In 2008, as the economy grew richer and the two children grew up, Shu decided to realize his dream of flying. Lacking relevant knowledge, he bought books by himself, studied on the Internet, and asked experts for mechanical knowledge. In 2009, Shu Mansheng made his first fixed wing aircraft.
With successful experience, he is even more addicted to it. Over the past decade, Shu Mansheng has spent nearly one million yuan to manufacture dozens of various kinds of aircrafts, all of which are manned aircrafts. Among them, the most shocking one was his homemade flying saucer.
Shu Mansheng told Beiqing news that people often think flying saucers are mysterious. He wanted to build a flying saucer himself and challenge it. After two months, the flying saucer, which cost more than 150000 yuan(USD21000), was built. In December 2018, in Wuhan East Lake New Technology Development Zone, a blue emitting "flying saucer" lifted off, flew in the air for more than 80 seconds, and slowly landed on the ground.
In China, the legal test flight needs to meet four conditions: first, the aircraft manufacturer must have the qualification to produce the aircraft, that is, to apply to the competent civil aviation authority for the product type certificate, production license and maintenance license; second, after the aircraft is produced, it needs to obtain the nationality registration certificate and airworthiness certificate before it can be put into operation; third, the test pilot needs to have the corresponding Qualification, i.e. having the qualification to operate the aircraft to take off; after the human and financial conditions are met, because the airspace of our country is controlled, it is necessary to apply to the military and air traffic control department for approval before the test flight.
"If people innovate like Mr. Su, China's society will produce a lot of new things and become more vibrant. Gmtlight's team's innovation in luminous products at night is just a few small innovations, and there is still a lot of room for development. We should not only provide qualified products to users, but also provide fresh products to users. This is the spirit of innovation. " Mr Niu, at gmtlight.

Missile Shield is Urgent
President Bush has said there is a real and urgent need for a missile defense system in Europe. He also said the missile threat was from the Middle East, not Russia, which strongly opposes sites for the shield in Poland and the Czech republic. He warned that Iran could have a ballistic missile capable of reaching Europe or the US by 2015. Earlier, US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the shield could be delayed while Russian concerns were tackled. | aerospace |

If you are looking for a plane that is in the air for a long time it is not this one.
This airplane is good for flying outside. It is perfect for that because it flies for a long time.
This plane is one of the fastest planes so if you buy it, fly it with the wind. This airplane also flies for a very long time, so if you like airplanes like this, buy now!
P.a.c Portable Kit
The Portable kit is basically a bag for a paper airplane. This bag comes with an extra paper airplane and insurance as it also has weights to make an airplane fly better. That is the portable kit.
Do not expect this plane to fly far or fly fast. This airplane is a airplane that curves a lot so fly it in a wide space.It also stays in the air for a really long time but you have to be in a very wide and deep room because this airplane takes 5 feet of space(at least) to do a full boomarang back to you.
The p.a.c is a very big company and Is getting bigger. We have manufactured more than 100 paper airplanes. The p.a.c started as a very small company. The founders of the p.a.c are Quinn.S Toby.P Liam.M the p.a.c is 2 and a half years. We hope you like the p.a.c thank you! | aerospace |

I just watched four episodes of NASA documentaries on the Mercury/Gemini/Apollo manned flights, and the tempo of those missions, many I didn’t recall, was breathtaking. They launched a big mission every three months or so, one time launched two within 14 days including a repair of the launch pad after a post-ignition abort.
Introduced major new tasks and equipment (space walks, moon landings, moon rover cars, Saturn 5 rockets, etc.) with minimal rehearsal. Flew eight Moon missions between 1969 and 1972 and cancelled three final Moon missions after acquiring the hardware and training the crews!
They did lose three astronauts to a training fire, but recovered three unharmed from behind the Moon on Apollo 13, after an inflight explosion and some heroic improvisation (The movie Apollo 13 is almost a documentary.).
Available on Netflix, “When We Left the Earth”, NASA.
Lots of speculation about the cause of the crash landing at SFO. Consensus seems to build among Boeing pilots on the net that 777, configured for landing, quickly goes from “high and fast” to “low and slow” unless close attention is given to throttles to maintain speed. The Asiana pilots, for reasons not yet known, did not take over throttles manually when auto-throttles were inactivated. Apparently, heavy airplane pilots get very little “stick and rudder” hand-flying training or experience in the modern airline environment.
The Battle of Midway (June 4, 1942) is recognized as a pivotal victory for American forces in the Pacific theater of WWII. The battle is especially meaningful for the Hodges family as we had two (and still have one, Rev. Gene Hodges, age 92!) survivors of the carrier Yorktown (CV-5). This is the memorial to Midway recently commissioned at Annapolis.
My cousin Doyle retired in a ceremony at Bancroft Hall, with many friends, family, and shipmates in attendance. It was about duty, honor, intellect, respect, and even love. Doyle had a great career track since graduating from the Academy in 1992, including two commands at sea and most recently as head of the Navigation and Seamanship department at Annapolis.
Doyle came to love the academic life, and so has retired to attend Princeton. He will seek the credentials to further his research and perhaps return to the Naval Academy faculty as a civilian with a unique perspective on being a modern naval officer.
Doyle already loved Emily, and now both loves can grow and prosper. Fair winds, Doyle and Emily!
41 minutes in a Delta DC-9 brings back memories – I arrived at Delta on December 20, 1965, the same day as the first DC-9 delivery.
As it evolved, I became a powerplant engineer for the DC-9, so learned a lot more about the little airplane over the next few years. A real workhorse as they say, and pretty much bulletproof. My fun assignment, though, was the CJ805 that powered the Convair 880 – still the speed record holder for airliners.
The CJ was a civilianized (non-afterburning) GE J90 engine which, with afterburner, powered the F-4 Phantom used by all three air services (USN, USAF, USMC).
Lord knows the CJ burned enough jet fuel without a burner – Delta wasn’t set up for mid-air refueling that was required to feed the burner. And jet fuel was expensive – between 10 and 12 cents a gallon! If you had told me you could operate Delta profitably on $3.75 a gallon fuel, I’d never have believed it. Of course, many things that seemed impossible in 1965 are realities today. But that will be a post for another day. | aerospace |

He decided that the Bible had the perfect blueprint for a flying machine. He took his inspiration from the "wheel within a wheel" passage.
He designed the Ezekiel Airship in a moment of inspiration.
In 1902, a year before the Wright Brothers flew, he actually got the contraption off the ground. History does not remember the Ezekiel Airship, because the flight was thought insufficiently "controlled" to really qualify as air flight, as opposed to basic "contraption flailing around" flight.
But I personally place a great deal of faith in visionaries who build unlikely constructs, which thrash around, sometimes leaving the Earth. | aerospace |

Special Use Airspace (SUA) and Military Demand
Approximately 25% of US airspace is reserved for military usage, primarily for training operations. Still, new military programs, especially advanced fighters, require additional capacity, which has led to challenges in efficient airspace utilization.
Airspace Sharing Challenges
The military notifies the FAA when exercises are completed, but the process is manual and cumbersome, relying on multiple phone calls and human data entry to communicate status. This process effectively prevents airlines from scheduling flights through unused space.
Dynamic Airspace Sharing
Airspace Data, in close collaboration with the FAA, DoD, and commercial carriers, has developed an automated system to share status during military downtime, which allows carriers to fly shorter routes and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and costs. We call this system Dynamic Airspace Sharing.
At scale, the adoption of Dynamic Airspace Sharing will result in annual savings of up to $1 billion in operating expenses for airlines and a reduction of 3 billion pounds of CO2 emissions. Unlike traditional "route optimization" approaches, Airspace Data focuses on solving a long-standing airspace sharing problem by providing real-time data to operators, collaborating with defense technologies, and working closely with FAA controllers. Our early partners, two major U.S. air carriers, have already realized significant benefits from the system, completing more than 650 flights and reducing emissions by nearly 600,000 pounds on a single test route since its implementation in mid-June.
We build and deploy technology that provides precise, timely data for flight planning and execution, enabling dynamic airspace sharing between the FAA and the U.S. military. | aerospace |

It’s your Amazon package being delivered by a drone!
During a 60 Minutes interview with Charlie Rose on Sunday night, Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, announced plans to deploy drone aircraft to deliver Amazon packages to its customers, a service called Prime Air. According to Bezos, Amazon plans to use unmanned aircraft to deliver Amazon Prime packages to its customers’ doorsteps within 30 minutes of the order being placed. He hopes that Prime Air deliveries can begin in 2015.
Watch this demonstration of the process, including the drone in flight as it delivers an Amazon Prime Air package to a customer’s doorstep:
Packages can weigh up to five pounds, which accounts for 86% of all orders according to Bezos. Drones will be able to travel a 10 mile radius from Amazon fulfillment centers.
Use of the drones isn’t a certainty, FAA approval is required before Prime Air is launched. The drones will be computer programmed to fly and then land at GPS coordinates.
You can watch the entire 60 Minutes video where Bezos explains Prime Air (the Prime Air coverage begins at 11:15):
What do you think of Amazon Prime Air? Would you like drones delivering your Amazon packages? Do you think the drones are cool, convenient or creepy?
Vote in today’s Wonder of Tech poll and let us know your thoughts. You can vote for more than one choice in case you think Amazon Prime Air is cool, convenient and creepy!
After 60 Minutes aired, fun ensued on Twitter with the following tweets anticipating what a missed delivery slip could look like:

You have a metal conductor inside an insulating cover. Sure, there are many different sizes and colors, but aren’t they all basically the same? Is there really a difference between commercial and military-grade wiring?
What is Military Grade Wiring?
The term “military-grade wiring” refers to wiring exclusively designed and manufactured to meet the stringent military standards. It must withstand the most challenging and hostile environments encountered in military operations, such as extreme temperatures, intense vibrations, and excessive moisture.
Wiring intended for military use is subjected to rigorous testing and inspection, to guarantee exceptional reliability, durability, and performance over time.
In contrast, commercial-grade wiring is designed for everyday applications in commercial and residential settings. It strikes a balance between cost and safety requirements. It does not undergo the same rigorous testing as military wiring.
Military Grade Wiring Standards
Several standards and specifications apply to military-grade wiring performance, construction, and durability. Here are some key standards:
- MIL-STD-1276 provides general requirements for wiring, cables, and harnesses used in military systems. It gives guidance on design, installation, inspection, and testing procedures for military wiring.
- MIL-DTL-17 is a specification outlining requirements for coaxial cables used in military applications. It covers various characteristics, such as impedance, construction, electrical properties, and environmental performance.
- MIL-DTL-27500 specifies the requirements for aircraft and aerospace vehicle electrical cables. It covers aspects such as conductor material, insulation, jacketing, and electrical properties. This standard ensures the reliability and performance of electrical cables in demanding aviation and aerospace environments.
- MIL-STD-704 establishes standard electrical power characteristics for military aircraft. While not solely focused on wiring, it includes requirements for wiring systems to ensure compatibility with aircraft power systems.
- MIL-STD-810 is an environmental testing standard that outlines procedures for testing and evaluating equipment’s ability to withstand factors such as temperature, humidity, vibration, shock, and more.
- MIL-STD-461 addresses electromagnetic interference requirements for military systems. It sets guidelines to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure the proper functioning of electrical systems, including wiring, in military environments.
These are just a few examples of the standards and specifications related to military-grade wiring. Other standards may also apply, depending on the operational and environmental requirements of the military system involved.
Differences Between Commercial and Military Grade Wiring
Commercial wiring differs from military wiring in several key aspects. These differences primarily stem from the varying requirements and environments in which they are intended to be used. Here are some notable distinctions:
- Material Quality: Commercial wiring typically utilizes standard-grade materials that meet safety and performance requirements for everyday applications. In contrast, military wiring employs high-quality materials selected for their superior reliability and resistance to extreme conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, vibrations, moisture, mechanical stress and chemical exposure.
- Insulation: Commercial wiring uses insulation made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or similar materials. While suitable for normal environments, PVC may not hold up well under demanding conditions. In military-grade wiring, insulation materials such as ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) or FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) are commonly employed.
- Testing and Certification: Military-grade wiring is subjected to rigorous testing and certification to ensure it meets stringent military standards and specifications. Testing includes evaluations for electrical performance, environmental durability, resistance to interference, and other critical factors. Commercial wiring doesn’t undergo the same level of testing and certification.
- Design Considerations: Military wiring is designed to withstand harsh conditions encountered in military operations such as extreme temperature ranges, vibration resistance, moisture protection, and electromagnetic interference mitigation.
- Manufacturing Processes: Military-grade wiring often involves more stringent quality control measures, including stricter tolerances, additional inspections, and traceability requirements. These measures ensure consistent performance and reliability, given the critical nature of military applications.
While military-grade wiring is expressly engineered for exceptional performance and durability, commercial wiring remains suitable and safe for everyday applications.

Boeing Co`s top executive told employees on Monday he was confident in the safety of the U.S. manufacturer`s top-selling 737 MAX single-aisle aircraft in the wake of two deadly crashes involving the new model of jetliner since October.
An Ethiopian Airlines passenger jet bound for Nairobi crashed minutes after take-off on Sunday, killing all 157 people on board and raising questions about the safety of the Boeing 737 MAX 8 model, which entered service in 2017. A Lion Air 737 MAX 8 crashed in Indonesia in October, killing 189 people.
"We are confident in the safety of the 737 MAX and in the work of the men and women who design and build it," Boeing Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg told employees in an email seen by Reuters. "Since its certification and entry into service, the MAX family has completed hundreds of thousands of flights safely."
Muilenburg also said Sunday`s crash was "especially challenging" coming only months after the loss of Lion Air Flight 610.
The 737 MAX is the newest version of Boeing`s best-selling 737 family that has been a fixture of passenger travel for decades and the cash cow of the world`s largest aircraft maker, competing against Airbus SE`s A320neo family of single-aisle jetliners.
In the wake of Sunday`s crash, China ordered its airlines to ground the jet, a move followed by Indonesia and Ethiopia. Other airlines, from North America to the Middle East, kept flying the 737 MAX 8 on Monday after Boeing said it was safe.
Boeing was fully supporting the crash investigation and providing technical assistance under the direction of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and Ethiopian authorities, Muilenburg said.

Our classrooms had these huge black & white TVs on tall metal stands. We’d gather around these TVs, gazing upward, counting with the launch sequence, and cheering as each rocket lifted majestically into the sky. We knew these flights were a big deal because we stopped class to watch them.
Howard Kurtz covers the generation gap among news consumers–baby boomers who grew up with space flight as a big deal and those of generations X and Y who grew up with space flight as routine.
Yes, we boomers feel the loss of Columbia and her crew acutely. We’ve been taught to do so. We have been taught a romantic notion of space exploration. So with each catastrophe my generation will wince in pain and spend hours in front of the television waiting for every little scrap of information about why it happened. And we’ll be concerned about what will be done in the future to make these flights safer.
And we will support the continued exploration of space precisely because it is a big deal to us. | aerospace |

“Sierra Space is just very proud to be a part of the return to the moon, the Artemis program, and everything that goes into that,” said Kavandi, a former NASA astronaut.
She said the company is also developing inflatable habitat structures that could be used for NASA’s settlements on the moon.
“It’s kind of science fiction coming true today,” she said. “And I think that’s just really fun to be a part of.”
Following the completion of Artemis I, NASA will choose a crew to fly around the moon on the Artemis II mission, which is tentatively set to launch in 2024. That would lay the foundation for Artemis III, putting a woman and a person of color on the moon for the first time.
NASA hasn’t put a human on the moon in half a century. The agency says it’s returning to the moon for three main reasons: scientific discovery, economic opportunities and inspiration for the next generation of explorers.
The agency plans to use what it learns on and around the moon for a mission that sends the first astronaut to Mars.

He told RadioTimes: "It is very tricky at the moment to be able to say, because we need three or four months to set up a big foreign job.
"And it’s not really well us planning and spending hundreds and thousands of pounds setting up all of these fields, and then all of a sudden somebody says, ‘Oh well, we can’t go there now’ so we are facing some difficulties."
Jeff made a short journey into space earlier today with his brother Mark, 53, physics student Oliver Daemon, 18 and pilot Wally Funk, 82, who became the oldest man in space.
The New Shepard rocket touched down safely after 11 minutes in the West Texas desert.
He follows billionaire Richard Branson, who travelled to the edge of space in a Virgin Galactic rocket plane earlier this month.
Speaking after he landed, Mr Bezos said: "Oh my God. My expectations were high, and they were dramatically exceeded.

"The zero Gs may have been one of the biggest surprises, because it felt so normal.
"It felt like, almost like we were as humans evolved to be in that environment, which I know is impossible, but it felt so serene and peaceful and the floating.
"It’s actually much nicer than being in full one gravity."
Jeremy Clarkson in an episode from the series
The Blue Origin crew members took a number of historic items with them, including the goggles Amelia Earhart used to fly across the Atlantic.
They also took a brass medal made from the first hot air balloon which flew in 1783 – the first time humans left the Earth in control of the flight.
The crew also carried a piece of canvas from the Wright Flyer – the plane flown by the Wright brothers.
During the press conference, Jeff presented his mother with a feather necklace he wore on the flight. | aerospace |

Building a base on the moon would be important because it shows that we can
prove to live on another planet other than Earth. But the debate still rages as to whether man should settle on the Moon or Mars first. Mars is often considered to be the ultimate challenge for mankind: to live on a planet other than Earth. But looking down on us during cloudless nights is the bright and attainable Moon. From here we can see the details of the lunar landscape with the naked eye, it is so close astronomically when compared with the planets, that many believe that the Moon should be our first port of call before we begin the six month (at best) voyage to the Red Planet. It also helps as we’ve already been there…The bigger goal,
of course is to guild a colony on Mars. This is a massive goal that will likely take generations to achieve as we slowly begin to explore the surface of the world with teams of astronauts, slowly building the infrastructure that could one day house permanent residents. For comparison, the International Space Station cost more than $100 billion and even after 10 years still is
not fully completed. Getting to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) is easy and cheap compared to getting to the Moon. Building a base on the moon would be important to also show the other countries that we could establish a moon base even after what was known as the "Space Race" | aerospace |

There are many people who have never ridden on helicopters before and if you are one of them, you might want to try it out. A helicopter is different from an airplane as airplanes fly different that helicopters. A helicopter uses propellers to drive them in the sky and that is how they can stay up in the air like that. A helicopter can stay in a certain place in the sky without moving forward and that is something that an airplane can not do. Helicopters can take you from one place to another in a really fast way.
When you wish to ride a helicopter, there are things that you have to take into consideration. Weather is very important when you are about to fly so if the weather is bad, you should stay on the ground. If the weather is too foggy or if the weather is not suitable for flying on a helicopter, authorities will hinder you from flying and that is so that you do not get into an accident. If you read the news, you will find many accidents happen when helicopters went out on foggy days so make sure that you go out on a clear and blue sky kind of day. Fogging can be really hard to see when you are riding a helicopter and that is why it is advised that you should stay on the ground when the weather is bad or else you will get in serious trouble just like some famous basketball player and his young daughter.
If you are about to fly on a helicopter, you might want to check if everything is working 100%. If you find some problems with the engine of your helicopter, it is best to fix that first before you fl. Make sure that all the control engines are working well and that there is enough fuel in your helicopter to get you to place that you have wanted to go to. Maintain your helicopter every so often to keep it fresh and in good quality. You might hear of accidents because of poor engine control from the pilots. You need a good pilot to fly you if you wish to be safe in your first helicopter ride. learn more about helicopter accidents and you will learn more. view here for more and discover more about helicopters. You can read more about helicopter news if you do more research on this topic. | aerospace |

This data is useful for management of the Cary deer herd. Flights were conducted on the nights of 30 and 31 January 2020.
Imaging was accomplished with a single-engine Cessna 182 airplane and using a high-resolution Mitsubishi M-600 thermal imager oriented ‘looking’ straight down through a camera hole in the belly of the airplane. The thermal imager NTSC video output was routed through a video encoder-decoder (VED) that labeled the imagery with a continuous stream of GPS-derived position, time, date, speed and altitude information.
After the flight, imagery was analyzed using a TV monitor and a computer monitor. As the imagery played, the VED decoded the bar-coded GPS signal that was received from the GPS during the flight. The VED recreated the original GPS signal and sent it to the computer so the mobile mapping software ‘thinks’ it is receiving a live signal. The mapping software shows the moving position of the airplane superimposed over aerial imagery of the count area on the computer screen while the recorded infrared imagery of the area below the airplane is visible on the TV monitor. The GPS updates the airplane position once per second throughout the flight and at the same rate during the post-flight analysis.
The entire recorded imagery has been reviewed and individual deer identified and marked on the map.

It gives you a whole different perspective of your surroundings. As a camera, I find that the pictures come out so well that they require minimal editing…most of these photos have had no editing at all! It’s small enough that I’ve still been able to carry on travelling with just cabin baggage, despite having all the extra gear.
As a fairly new drone pilot I’m still learning the ins and outs of travelling with a drone, but I thought I would share with you some of my experiences so far! I bought a DJI Spark because it’s one of the smallest drones out there, yet still produces good images and videos! One of my biggest priorities when I bought it, was that it had to be small enough to be able to travel with easily! But it’s not as simple as getting on a plane and then sending it up when you arrive in the destination, there’s a lot to consider.
I don’t remember the last time I was so excited about buying something that wasn’t a plane ticket! I’ve wanted a drone for a while and after deciding against buying one of the cheap pocket drones, I opted for the DJI Spark…which is still tiny…but amazing. I was worried that as a newbie pilot I would be awful at flying it but it was fairly easy to pick up! | aerospace |

Curtiss-Wright technologies operate on-board many of today’s critical military fixed-wing, rotorcraft and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms. Our broad array of components for aerospace defense applications span actuators, position sensors, pilot controls, flight test instrumentation, data concentrators and recorders to name a few. We also use our surface technologies applications to enhance the performance of critical aircraft structural and jet engine components.
A key program that we support is the F-35 Lightning Joint Strike Fighter Program, where Curtiss-Wright provides actuation equipment for the Ordnance Hoist System and Ordnance Quick Latch System as well as embedded computing and sensor electronics. Another is the P-8A Poseidon Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft, designed to provide long-range surveillance and reconnaissance. Our single board computer, data communication, sensors, and graphics and video products enable this aircraft to carry out its mission. In addition, our weapons bay door drive system opens and closes large doors installed on the bottom of the aircraft, allowing the deployment of surveillance devices or weapons during flight.
The ability to collect data effectively through intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance contributes to advancing military situational awareness, which leads to enhanced capability, efficiency and safety. UAVs provide this essential information without risking lives. The U.S. Air Force’s Global Hawk is a high-altitude, long-endurance UAV whose flight control, sensors, mission operations and navigation are managed by Curtiss-Wright’s Integrated mission and Sensor Management Systems, which essentially act as the brain of the aircraft. The U.S. Navy’s version of the Global Hawk, called the Triton, provides persistent maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to protect the fleet. It also has the capability to detect, track, classify and identify maritime and littoral targets. Curtiss-Wright supports this significant defense platform by supplying the Advanced Mission Management System and the Integrated Mission Management Computer.
On military helicopters, we provide state-of-the-art electronics, including sensors and embedded computing products. In addition, our video management system maximizes the effectiveness of airborne Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions by enabling multiple operators to view, control and record live video and mapping information in helicopters, such as the U.S. Army’s new Lakota light utility helicopter fleet. We maintain a solid presence on several of today’s key helicopter platforms, including the Black Hawk, Apache, Seahawk and Chinook.
In the future, the U.S. Marine Corps will deploy the Sikorsky CH-53K helicopter from amphibious platforms to transport personnel and equipment and carry heavy external cargo loads. We expect to have a solid technological presence on this aircraft including transducers that control the main and tail rotors, data concentrator units for monitoring, processing data and controlling various subsystem components, and blade fold technology used to execute the folding or spreading of the main rotor blades, key to the CH-53K’s compatibility for effective shipboard deployment. | aerospace |

In the wake of EADS’s announcement on March 4 that it would not protest the U.S. Air Force’s award of the KC-46A program to Boeing there has been a lot of talk that the big tanker war is now over.
But that may be a far too narrow view of the massive program.
With the competitive phase now over, the Pentagon has lost one of its best tools to hold industry’s feet to the fire. When there was no competition, Boeing was ready to charge the U.S. government $42 billion for the KC-135 replacement program. Thanks to the intervention by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who nixed the sole source contract arrangement on the table a decade ago, the U.S. taxpayer will now end up paying $10 billion less for an aircraft that should be more capable.
However, the risk now is that with competition out of the way, the tanker price will start creeping up. Yes, the deal is being structured as a fixed price contract, but history has seen ample examples of such arrangements being changed — either because the government changes requirements or because a company pleads its future is at risk if it does not get contractual relief.
The USAF was very diligent during this last round of the KC-X program to structure a competition that was protest proof. It now needs to put as much effort into making sure Boeing has no excuse to require a price revision.
The tanker war between EADS and Boeing may be over, but that doesn’t mean there will not be a tanker war between Boeing and the U.S. taxpayer.

There has been a persistent drum beat in Europe about a split buy in the U.S. Air Force’s KC-X tanker program.
Now, with the Pentagon about to solicit “best and final” offers from Boeing and EADS, there are again rumblings in Europe of a split buy. EADS officials note they will talk to the Pentagon about any deal that involves buying their A330-based tankers, whether it is a dual-buy or an outright win.
It is not quite clear what is driving Europe’s insistence a split buy is looming.
One possibility is that the Pentagon’s decision, last month, to split the U.S. Navy Littoral Combat Ship, is seen as a sign of what is to come. There are big differences, though, between the LCS and KC-X situation; whereas the two LCS designs differ significantly, which could explain why the Pentagon may have decided to take a closer look at the operational benefits of each, that is not the case on the tanker program. Buying a 767-based and A330-based tanker hardly comapares with the operational differences offered by buying both a monohull and catamaran. Replicating the LCS situation on tanker would require one bidder to offer, perhaps, a blended wing body.
So why does the split buy idea keep being resurrected, especially given that, time and time again the Pentagon has said an acquisition of both is not a road it wants to pursue? Among European program watchers, the customer’s preference does not seem to mean much. One likely reason is that in Europe, customer interests are usually subservient to industrial interests and political expedience, so a split would be a natural choice.
Perhaps the best chance for a split buy is competition and program fatigue. The original tanker acquisition plan — at the time conceived as a lease — is now almost a decade old. Will the Pentagon and Congress tire of another competition, GAO protest, and lack of progress to actually fielding hardware to replace the aging KC-135s? If so, perhaps the Europeans may end up being right, even if at the cost of extra taxpayer money being spent on tankers throughout the program’s life.

The Airshow China typically has its collection of interesting models. Here’s a few of the concepts that are perhaps a bit further from representing a real military threat to anyone, but are fun to look at nonetheless.
The first is from Avicopter. It has no name and details are scant, but it’s a fun concept to look at:
Second is the wing folding unmanned aircraft, the ASN-213 from the Xi’an ASN Technology Group:
And the ASN-211 flapping wing air vehicle, of a mere 220 grams, with a span of 600 mm.

The U.S. Air Force recently unveiled the ASQ-236, a previously classified radar pod for the F-15E:
What is not quite clear is what special capabilities the system offers beyond the all-weather capability. One theory is it may have counter-IED uses, although that would not have been a primary mission given development began before that threat was front-and-center on the minds of military planners. So perhaps the real value is simply the high-resolution synthetic aperture radar capabilities.
Here’s the USAF write up for the system:
|U.S. Air Force Fact Sheet
|AN/ASQ-236 RADAR POD
The AN/ASQ-236 Radar Pod contains synthetic aperture radar that provides detailed maps for surveillance, coordinate generation and bomb impact assessment purposes. This technology provides Combat Air Forces with the ability to precisely geo-locate points of interest and conduct surveillance activities day or night, in adverse weather conditions.
Operational on the F-15E Strike Eagle aircraft, the AN/ASQ-236 pod system is externally mounted and fully integrated with the aircraft. The radar pod is a self-contained system consisting of an antenna, inertial navigation system, and environmental cooling system. The antenna is attached to a positioner plate that allows it to move about the roll axis.
The pod design also incorporates a fully automated built-in-test, or BIT, that indicates the health of the system to the operator and maintenance crews. The BIT allows fault isolation to the line-replaceable module level enabling high system availability.
Recognizing the need for an all-weather precision geo-location and reconnaissance system with the reliability and performance inherent in Active Electronically Scanned Array radars, the U.S. Air Force with Northrop Grumman embarked on a program in the late 1990s to design, fabricate, test and field a unique radar system known as the AN/ASQ-236.
Information concerning the design, development, and production of the ASQ-236 is classified to protect critical technologies and improved operational capabilities. By leveraging the technology development associated with the F-22 Raptor, the release of this new sensor will enhance all-weather precision geo-location and provide greater surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities supporting current and future operations.
Primary function: Precision geo-location and non-traditional intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance
Prime Contractor: Northrop Grumman Corporation
Length: 130 inches (3.302 meters)
Diameter: 20 inches (0.508 meters)
Weight: 1, 000 pounds (454 kilograms)
Date Deployed: June 2009
Point of Contact

The Brazilian fighter competition is proving how hard it is for the U.S. to make the case it will support technology transfer demands posed by potential buyers of U.S. equipment.
Brazil has been asking for extensive technology transfer as it considers buying the Dassault Rafale, Saab Gripen or Boeing F/A-18E/F. Early in the competition, the knock on the U.S. campaign was that Washington wouldn’t let enough technology transfer take place to satisfy the Brazilian government. However, U.S. officials say that eventually changed, and that the U.S. put together an extensive tech transfer package.
But in Brazil there are apparently still questions about the U.S. technology release approach, as this article highlights. If Brazilian defense minister Nelson Jobim really doesn’t have confidence in the U.S. committment, then that’s bad news for Boeing, regardless of what promises may have been made when the aircraft maker, along with its rivals, submitted final bids last month.
Washington should get an answer soon, with Brazil promising to announce by year-end the winner of its muddled fighter competition — with President Lula having first announced Rafale had won, only for the military to say the competition was still open.
If Boeing can’t win, the Pentagon may want to undertake the kind of after action France undertook after Rafale failed repeatedly to secure export orders. | aerospace |

The Chinese Aeronautical Establishment (CAE) hosted senior level representatives from IFAR participating organizations. During the Summit, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) of South Africa, and the Centre for Excellence and Innovation in the Automotive Industry (CEIIA) of Portugal were accepted as new members bringing the total number of participating nations to 26.
The purpose of IFAR is to connect research organizations worldwide to enable the information exchange in the field of aviation research with the objective to identify areas of mutually beneficial collaboration. In addition to its scientific and technical expertise, IFAR also promotes exchanges on education and of young aviation scientists and engineers. During the Summit, IFAR members discussed their technical collaboration in several areas of importance to the global civil aviation community, including the impact of aviation on the environment, alternative fuels for aviation, global approach to air traffic management research, supersonic aircraft, and wind tunnel testing. The Summit highlighted the results achieved by the alternative aviation fuels working group and prospects for future mutually beneficial collaborative work in the areas of noise and the reducing the adverse impact of weather. The members also participated in the IFAR Café session, which provided an opportunity to discuss global challenges and opportunities facing aviation, and reaffirmed the importance of global cooperation to achieve common objectives.
A web-based communication and database platform, IFARLink (www.ifarlink.aero), which has been established for exclusive use by IFAR members was endorsed as a mechanism to support the exchange of information and further improvement of IFAR technology databases. This unique tool is facilitating the initiative on exchange of education and promotion of young IFAR scientists and engineers where concrete activities are being defined and dialogues are taking place through the use of virtual conferencing. IFAR members also supported the work of young researchers that met during the Summit, in which twelve participants from China, Germany, Japan, Russia, and South Korea exchanged views on the future of Aviation to contribute to IFAR´s future vision.
IFAR members participated in and supported actively the 7th China International Aviation & Aerospace Forum, which was presented by State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence, PRC (under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), and co-organized by the Zhuhai Municipal People’s Government; China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation; China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation; Aviation Industry Corporation of China; Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China Ltd.; Chinese Society of Aeronautics and Astronautics; and Chinese Society of Astronautics. The forum themes focused on the “Participation, Cooperation & Contribution: Future of Aviation and Aerospace Industry,” and “Aviation Change the Life.” The forum was attended by more than 400 guests including representatives from the Chinese government, industry, and academia leaders. Li Yuanchao, Vice President of the People´s Republic of China invited the IFAR leaders to update him on IFAR activities, and discuss the importance of global collaboration to meet the future aviation challenges of the future. This theme was also discussed at a meeting of IFAR members with Lin Zuoming, President of Aviation Industry Cooperation of China (AVIC).
The outcomes of this Summit were summarized in a declaration.

Key recommendations and themes (Air and Space)
In the Air Domain, the DSR recommends that:
- Long-Range Anti-Ship Missiles are integrated onto the F-35A and F/A-18F platforms, as well as equipping the F-35A with Joint Strike Missiles.
- Australia collaborates and shares technology with the United States relating to the MQ-28A Ghost Bat.
In the Space Domain, the DSR recommends that:
- Space Command is integrated into Joint Capabilities Group.
- A centralised function is established for the development and management of Space Domain capabilities.
- A system is developed to maintain a skilled workforce.
- The Australian Defence Force (ADF) stays on the cutting edge by adopting approaches which emphasise the speed of capability acquisition.
What does this mean for Defence procurement?
- The Commonwealth may consider engaging with the US Government through Foreign Military Sales (FMS) arrangements to upgrade the long-range strike missile capability of its fourth and fifth generation jets, which would require additional layers of compliance with US export controls. When proposing to collaborate with US Government on uncrewed aircraft and space capabilities, Defence could consider the impacts of incorporating US export-controlled technology into these platforms, within the context of their intended future use of the capabilities.
- In our analysis further below, we have described a number of options which could be utilised to facilitate expedited capability acquisition, particularly in the Government approval, requirement setting, procurement process, and contracting stages.
- Defence will need to ensure compliance with all applicable legislative and procurement policies and processes, including preparing robust and bespoke documentation and seeking specialist advice, to address the commercial, legal and probity risks in implementing an expedited procurement process.
The Air domain (in detail)
Compared to other domains, the DSR takes a light touch approach to the reprioritisation of capability acquisitions within the Air Domain. This could reflect the fact that the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) is already well positioned to deliver on the DSR’s strategy of military denial, for example through the acquisition of long-range strike missiles and air and missile defence capabilities.
The DSR highlights the following key priorities for the Air Domain:
Shoring up northern approaches
The DSR states that operations from Australia’s northern base network is a high priority for force structure design. In particular, it is recommended that the RAAF maintains northern air bases with appropriate hardening and dispersal. The Government has shown its commitment to this recommendation with the recent announcement of a $3.8 billion investment in bases across QLD, NT, the Cocos Islands and WA, with more than half being spent on RAAF bases alone (approximately $2 billion).
Emphasis on maritime and land strike capabilities
The DSR recommends that the long-range strike capabilities of the RAAF’s forth and fifth generation jets are improved, specifically:
- The F/A-18F Super Hornet is equipped with the Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM).
- The F-35A Joint Strike Fighter is equipped with the LRASM and the Joint Strike Missile (JSM).
In order to operate the JSM, the F-35A will need to be upgraded to Block 4 configuration. This upgrade is already being rolled out across the US Joint Strike Fighter fleet and includes enhanced sensors and electronic warfare systems.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and autonomous systems
The DSR recommends that Australia collaborates with the United States on the development of the MQ-28A Ghost Bat, an unmanned aircraft designed to be a cost-effective and easily replaceable alternative to crewed aircraft, and which can be integrated with other military systems and enhance Australia’s situational awareness and intelligence-gathering capabilities.
The MQ-28A Ghost Bat (a ‘Loyal Wingman’ capability) is a truly sovereign platform. It is the first military combat aircraft in more than 50 years to be designed, engineered and manufactured in Australia, and it is named after a species of bat native to Northern Australia.
In 2022, it was reported that the US Government was considering purchasing MQ-28A Ghost Bat aircraft for its own air fleet. In this context, the DSR moves Australia toward this opportunity to partner with the US, and encourages Australia to go even further by exploring follow-on co-development of the MQ-28A Ghost Bat capability.
The Space domain (in detail)
Similar to the Air Domain, the DSR does not recommend significant capability reprioritisation for the Space Domain. Instead, the DSR provides guiding principles in improving the ADF's space capabilities, namely:
- optimising capability assurance and communication provision. A recent announcement in this area is the selection of a preferred tender for JP9102 to deliver a sovereign military satellite communications system;
- balancing the cost of developing sovereign capabilities against the opportunities to collaborate with the US and other international partners; and
- adopting approaches which emphasise the speed of capability acquisition in order to match the speed of technology developments in the space domain. This includes procuring Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Military-Off-The-Shelf (MOTS) capabilities and investing in smaller, rapid acquisition projects.
Another key focus is on the organisational structure of the Space Command, including:
- adopting a whole-of-government and whole-of-nation approach to guide the development of the Space Domain;
- moving Space Command into the Joint Capabilities Group, instead of establishing a separate Space Force. This is consistent with the DSR's strategic recommendation for a focused integrated force;
- more appropriately phasing the funding for large projects allocated in the Integrated Investment Program;
- creating a centralised space domain capability development and management function; and
- establishing a program for building and sustaining a trained Defence space workforce.
Legal and contractual implications for Defence
The DSR’s recommendations across the Air and Space Domains raise key legal and commercial considerations in relation to capability acquisition:
Collaboration with the US and FMS
As the JSF and Super Hornet programs are delivered through FMS arrangements with the US Government, the Commonwealth may consider obtaining the recommended platform upgrades by expanding the scope of existing FMS cases.
This could mitigate funding and schedule risks. However, it will require the Commonwealth to ensure compliance with additional US export controls requirements and regulations, including bespoke requirements set out under the terms and conditions of Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs), as well as the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITARs).
Further, the Commonwealth may need to increase the scope of its existing support contracts with Australian subsidiaries of relevant prime contractors to include services related to the upgrades. This will require negotiating contract variations to the extent that the upgrades are not already contemplated in extant support contracts.
Collaboration with the US on the development of the MQ-28A Ghost Bat and capabilities in the Space Domain may also give rise to export control considerations. Where US export-controlled technology (eg, hardware, software, source code or technical data) is incorporated into an Australian platform, the platform itself becomes subject to US export control restrictions (commonly referred to 'ITAR-tainting' or the 'see-through-rule'). The effect is that Australia may need to obtain US Government approval in order to sell, transfer or export the MQ-28A Ghost Bat and relevant space capabilities if any US export-controlled technology is incorporated into the platform. This is in addition to the usual legal risks arising from collaborative development of advanced technology, including intellectual property ownership and licensing, and commercialisation rights.
For further information on the requirements and considerations relating to ITAR and US export controls in Defence procurement, please see our recent article on this topic.
Staying on the cutting edge through timely delivery
There are a number of ways that Defence projects could be designed to facilitate more efficient capability acquisition. Some of those options include:
- Government approvals: as recommended in the DSR, the capability acquisition system (such as the capability life-cycle) could be reformed, which could include streamlining the approval gates through which certain projects must pass before delivery commences. This will require amendments to Defence’s procurement policies and procedures.
- Requirements setting: projects currently balance scope, quality, cost, and time when determining their requirements and deciding on an acquisition strategy. Setting requirements at the operational- or concept-level, with appropriately informed market testing and scoping studies, may allow Defence to engage with its suppliers within a shorter timeframe, although this would need to be balanced against longer-term quality and cost risks through contract delivery. The success of this approach would rely on developing a truly collaborative and outcomes-focused relationship between Defence and its relevant prime contractors.
Focusing on the operational requirements of a capability or platform (and not on detailed specifications and lengthy requirements setting) is consistent with the DSR’s recommendation to deliver affordable minimum viable capability in the shortest timeframe. Where this approach is adopted as part of the acquisition strategy for a capability, it would need to be implemented up-front through the project’s procurement planning (and contractual) documentation.
- Procurement process: the procurement process could assist projects to identify a successful tenderer and commence delivery sooner by:
- approach to market considerations. Where a particular capability has a limited number of suppliers or realistic competition (determined through scoping studies or other market-testing activities), projects could conduct limited or sole source procurements to streamline an otherwise open-market approach. This would need to be considered against the requirements of the Commonwealth Procurement Rules, Defence’s Accountable Authority Instructions (AAIs), and other procurement policies. This should also be weighed against the overarching requirement to achieve (and verify) value for money in any procurement activity.
- favouring mature solutions. The procurement requirements (eg, essential requirements and evaluation criteria) may be drafted to favour mature systems (including COTS and MOTS) which will deliver minimum viable capability with minimal design changes or modifications.
- Projects should be aware that the procurement of mature systems may also lead to trading off commercial and legal protections, not just scope and quality.
- Suppliers of off-the-shelf solutions often take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to contracting (given the nature of the services) and may be unwilling to accept Defence’s standard terms without significant negotiation, or with increased risk margins reflected in pricing. This may counteract the intended benefit of procuring a mature system.
- conducting early risk mitigation and engagement. Projects may engage with industry early in the procurement process to ensure that the Commonwealth’s requirements appropriately align with industry’s capacity, approach, and expectations of risk before entering into a contract. Projects may even bring-forward preliminary services such that they are delivered by the preferred tenderer during the market stage rather than after contract execution – often called ‘advanced work’ or ‘pre-contract work’.
- The ultimate goal is to de-risk capability delivery by undertaking activities which typically occur during early stages of a contract. However, this creates commercial, legal and probity risks which will need to planned for and managed closely. Please see our recent article on collaborative contracting for further information on this topic.
- Contract structure and delivery: the contracting vehicle could require, and incentivise, the contractor to deliver meaningful capability early. This can be achieved by adopting pricing models and incentive frameworks which reward the contractor for early delivery and disincentivise delay (eg, liquidated damages). Further, the contract could adopt delivery methodologies such as ‘Agile’ approaches where supplies are delivered incrementally and more often (eg in ‘sprints’), instead of all at once years later.
These options will need to implemented in the contract drafting (for example, the ASDEFCON suite of templates adopts a traditional waterfall approach, rather than agile, for contract delivery) and carefully managed through contract administration.

This $130 thousand satellite was the final addition to the US-Airforce’s latest 12 – satellite collection for GPS. The Airforce operates GPS satellites and supplies international navigation, positioning and timing solutions equally for the private and armed forces customers. Global Positioning System can be all accessed by us from our telephone numbers due to this constellation that is really.
Back in 1978, the initial GPS satellite was launched into orbit. Since that time, their satellite layout has enhanced and introduced new versions of satellites. Beginning with Prevent I, the Airforce has relocated through Block IIA, Block IIR-M, Block IIR, and they have finished the launching of the Block IIF collection now.
50 happen to be released as a whole while just 30 satellites are working. The latest team of Block IIF satellites were launched between May of today and 2010.
Col. David Whitney, the manager of the Global-Positioning System Directorate, stated that the final leg of launchings had “one of the many competitive launching programs of the past 20 years.” There were 7 Block IIF satellites released in just over 2 1 weeks.
The Block IIF satellites were introduced to increase the precision of Global Positioning System. Col. David Whitney, the manager of the Global-Positioning System Directorate, stated that prior to the Block IIF set, the precision of Global Positioning System can be off by 1 meter. To 42 centimeters that mistake is all the way down together with the brand new Block IIF satellites set up.
The change will not suggest much to the typical private, but it can mean the difference between death and life for the armed forces who utilizes GPS to direct munition to specified goals.
So that you can make space for the satellite of today, the Air Force may transfer among the Block IIA satellites that are older that premiered in 1990 from its own orbit. Amazingly, the satellite continues to be working and certainly will continue to function the constellation as a backup satellite.
Since Prevent IIF is running and up, its emphasis will be shifted by the Airforce to another string of Block-III satellites for the GPS3 constellation. Block-III satellites may carry on to increase dependability and the accuracy of gps device and can have updated zero- protection and playing capacities for signs that are military.
Keeping an up to date fully working GPS is relevant to national-security. For all these reasons, choosing an organization to establish these resources is a crucial choice. There is been some controversy lately over which firm (ULA or SpaceX) should establish the Atmosphere Force’s next block of satellites. The selection hasn’t however been created.
The primary GPS satellites are planned to be released in 2018. | aerospace |

On Friday morning, Sirius/XM’s MLB Network Radio had the occasion to speak with a bona fide fan of the Atlanta Braves. He also happens to be a NASA astronaut. He’s Colonel Shane Kimbrough, US Army (retired).
Kimbrough is 53 years old and the veteran of two space missions — once aboard the Space Shuttle (November 2008/STS-126) and the other via a Russian Soyuz vehicle that ferried him to the International Space Station for 6 months over 2016-17.
While he was born in Killeen, Texas, Kimbrough grew up just outside the Atlanta perimeter road in nearby Smyra, so being a Braves fan is natural.
After high school, he joined the Army via an appointment to West Point. A natural athlete, Kimbrough not only played for the Army’s baseball team, but he was also the team’s captain during his senior year.
After getting his 4-year degree, the Army put Kimbrough through a Master’s degree back home at Georgia Tech (Operations Research major)… and that doesn’t do his professional resume any justice whatsoever: for more on that, see both here and here.
His interview on the mid-day Power Alley show was preceded by a phone call from one of his friends: former Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez.
Gonzalez discussed meeting astronaut Kimbrough one day when the Braves had him to the stadium to mingle with the team during batting practice. The pair have kept in touch ever since.
As the radio hosts were geeking out at the chance to converse with a “real astronaut”, Kimbrough then talked about being able to keep up with games while in space. It seems that NASA’s communications tools are pretty good.
Kimbrough was able to watch — in part — the 2016 World Series from space (the Cubs drought-breaker) and has the ability to see other MLB games from “up there”.
Guessing even MLB blackout rules don’t reach 200 miles above the surface of the earth where the Space Station is cruising along at 17,000 miles per hour.
Here’s a snippet of that interview:
Kimbrough is currently scheduled to go back into space next March as part of a crew aboard a SpaceX Dragon launch, which would be his third distinctly different craft taken into orbit. A veteran of many spacewalks, another is planned for that mission.
Also on his list of expected tasks: a few Braves games.
He also noted that he’ll still be above the Earth when the 2021 All-Star game rolls around next July (we hope!), scheduled for Atlanta.
In mentioning that event, Kimbrough seemed to be either hinting or hoping that the Braves might reach out to him to participate in that game in some manner. I expect you can probably bet on that happening.
In any case, it was great to hear about a distinguished Braves fan who’s making a point to follow the team faithfully — no matter what obstacles might be in the way. Well done, Colonel! | aerospace |

This mission, known as Crew-6, will be the sixth operational flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft and the 25th crewed mission to the ISS.
The Crew-6 astronauts will spend approximately six months on board the ISS, conducting research and performing maintenance tasks. They will also participate in a series of spacewalks to install new solar arrays and upgrade the station’s power systems. This mission marks the first time that a Crew Dragon spacecraft will dock at the ISS’s newly installed international docking adapter on the Harmony module.
The four NASA astronauts on board the spacecraft are Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, Kayla Barron, and Matthias Maurer. The two international crew members are Samantha Cristoforetti from the European Space Agency and Soichi Noguchi from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
The Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This launch marks the third crewed mission to be launched from the United States since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011.
SpaceX has been working closely with NASA since 2014 as part of the Commercial Crew Program to develop a new generation of spacecraft capable of transporting astronauts to and from the ISS. The successful completion of the Crew-6 mission will further demonstrate the reliability and capabilities of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket, paving the way for future crewed missions to the ISS and beyond. | aerospace |

The Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) today announced the appointment of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronauts Soichi Noguchi and Akihiko Hoshide as Tokyo 2020 Torch Relay Space Ambassadors for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The two astronauts will be broadcasting messages to cheer on the Olympic and Paralympic torchbearers straight from the International Space Station (ISS).
During their orbits of the earth the astronauts will also undertake various initiatives aimed at bringing an extra-terrestrial dimension to the torch relay and boosting global awareness of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games as the build-up to them continues.
Messages of hope and peace
Having Space Ambassadors to enliven the torch relay brings a new dimension to Tokyo 2020, signifying that the Games truly has no borders and is for everyone.
“I am delighted to have been appointed Tokyo 2020 Torch Relay Space Ambassador. The flame is a symbol of peace and hope and I am looking forward to sending messages of peace from the ISS and cheering on those participating in the torch relay,” Noguchi said.
Noguchi was a lead spacewalker in the space shuttle Discovery in 2005 and joined ISS onboard in Soyuz spacecraft in 2009. Later this year, he will return to the ISS for a long-term assignment as flight engineer.
On the other hand, Akihiko Hoshide was one of the three Japanese astronaut candidates selected for the ISS in 1999. He will return to the ISS in 2020 as a commander.
“I am glad to have been appointed Tokyo 2020 Torch Relay Space Ambassador. When I heard about this opportunity, I felt very honoured, and I realised how much closer the Tokyo 2020 Games are getting,” Hoshide said.
“The Olympic and Paralympic Games are great events involving top athletes from all over the world striving to win, to achieve a world record or achieve a personal best with the support of their team,” he added.
Flame of Recovery
Beginning in Fukushima prefecture, the Torch Relay will light its way to all 47 prefectures in Japan and will also serve as a “Flame of Recovery” for regions still recovering from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
“I believe that the light of the flame will encapsulate the “power of recovery” emanating from Japan's recent natural disasters, as well as the “tolerance” that allows us to accept diversity and the “dynamism” uniting local communities in a global festival, and that it will herald the sunrise of a new generation. To everyone in Japan, I say please join with us astronauts and help create a road of hope illuminated by flame,” Noguchi said.
“Astronaut Soichi and I look forward to engaging with the torch relay as it delivers the flame to the opening ceremony and helps to connect everyone's hopes for the future,” Hoshide added. | aerospace |
