http://www.alectravelguide.com/2011/08/20/flying-in-a-giant-bird-the-airbus-a380/ | 2018-02-22T20:42:45 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-09/segments/1518891814290.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180222200259-20180222220259-00208.warc.gz | 0.96257 | 523 | CC-MAIN-2018-09 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2018-09__0__87957825 | en | About two weeks ago, I had the great opportunity to finally fly in the Airbus A380 super jumbo jet. I was on Singapore Airlines on a flight from Singapore to Tokyo. It was my first time flying on the A380, and I was quite excited…
The plane itself is remarkable. I’ve seen many documentaries on the Discovery channel on how it was made, and all the engineering challenges it faced due to the sheer size of this thing. To see it in real life really puts things in perspective. The plane is a double decker jet, and the wing span (end to end from the tip of each wing) is about 80 meters (which is about the length of 16 Toyota Camrys!). It is a monster powered by 4 rolls royce turbine engines, and I heard that even if one of the engines goes out, it can still fly on 3 engines! The plane is so huge that the airports who had A380’s land at their airports needed to modify their runway space and passenger recieving areas to accomodate this massive plane.
Close up view of the cockpit section of the A380
Notice how the catering trucks need to load the supplies on the bottom and top decks!
A rough idea on how long the wing is, just reference it to the luggage carts below the wing.
The inside of the plane is quite nice. I sat in the upper deck while flying to Tokyo, and sat in the lower deck on my return trip back to Singapore. If you are flying economy (like me), be sure to request to sit in the upper deck if possible. There’s way more leg room in the upper deck. As for carry on luggage space compartments, I must say they did a good job in designing the interior to allow plenty of space for your carry on luggage! In addition, the sound proofing was amazing, it was by far the quietest flight I’ve been on. Just amazing considering the size of this plane!
The only draw back I experienced was that during the turbulence periods, or during landing or take off, you can really feel the plane shake. I’m guessing its because of the huge size of the plane as it is fighting the air currents outside. But then again, this maybe just me being paranoid… So this is it, my experience of the A380 I wanted to share with you all. Cheers!

The first colored image from the space telescope, showing a glimpse at the early universe, was released by NASA and President Joe Biden on Monday.
NASA claims that “Webb’s First Deep Field” is the most detailed and “deep” image of the far reaches of the universe to date. What you see is a snapshot of the SMACS 0723 galaxy cluster as it was 4.6 billion years ago. The massive collection of galaxies in the image acts as a gravitational lens, enlarging the much farther away celestial objects visible in the background.
Astronomers will soon study some of the galaxies to learn more about the evolution of our universe because they contain previously unseen features. NASA points out that Webb’s First Deep Field does not represent our first glimpse of the cosmos. The Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE), a microwave telescope, captured images closer to the Big Bang, but it did not provide a view of stars and galaxies like the one captured by Webb.
During the briefing on Monday, NASA administrator Bill Nelson said to President Biden, “Mr. President, if you held a grain of sand on the tip of your finger at arm’s length, that is the part of the universe that you’re seeing.” “Just a tiny fraction of the universe,”
For NASA, the journey to this momentous occasion has been a long one. The JWST was initially intended to be launched by the organization in 2007. NASA finally finished the project in and predicted that the spacecraft would be ready for launch by 2018 following a redesign in 2005. The telescope was assembled by NASA in 2019, but testing and shipping were further delayed when the pandemic broke out. In total, those delays resulted in a $10 billion cost for the JWST project.
The naming of NASA’s most advanced space telescope after James Webb, a former agency administrator, has also generated debate. Prior to leading NASA’s Mercury, Gemini, and early Apollo programs, Webb worked for the US State Department when the department was firing hundreds of gay and lesbian employees. NASA declared in September that the JWST’s name would not be altered.
The photo Biden shared today is just one of several JWST images NASA plans to release this week. When NASA holds a press conference with Webb leadership tomorrow morning at 9:45PM ET, the remainder of the initial slate will be released. 10:30AM ET marks the beginning of live coverage of the event on,, and. | aerospace |

is organizing an international workshop
Options for future European satellite OCR vicarious adjustment infrastructure for the Sentinel-3 OLCI and Sentinel-2 MSI series
on 21 – 23 February 2017 in ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy
Copernicus is a European system for monitoring the Earth. It includes Earth observation satellites, ground-based measurements and services to processes data to provide users with reliable and up-to-date information through a set of Copernicus Services related to environmental and security issues. Copernicus has developed the Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 family of satellites that carry complementary instruments to measure ocean colour in support of Copernicus services. The societal benefits of Ocean Colour Radiometry (OCR) are well articulated and include management of the marine ecosystem, role of the ocean ecosystem in climate change, aquaculture, fisheries, coastal zone water quality, mapping and monitoring harmful algal blooms amongst others. The Sentinel-2 Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) and the Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Colour Imager (OLCI) represent state of the art for satellite OCR.
Satellite OCR are designed to retrieve the spectral distribution of upwelling radiance just above the sea surface (the water-leaving radiance) that is then used to estimate a number of geophysical parameters through the application of specific bio-optical algorithms. Atmospheric correction for ocean colour data is challenging and instrument design must therefore incorporate extremely sensitive and stable radiometry, dedicated on-board calibration and a large number of spectral channels. Once on-orbit, the uncertainty characteristics of: (a) the satellite instruments established during pre-launch laboratory calibration and characterisation activities and (b) the end-to-end geophysical measurement retrieval process can only be assessed via independent calibration and validation activities.
Satellite OCR relies on vicarious adjustment and therefore on the long-term availability of precise and accurate in situ measurements to ensure the expected Earth observation products accuracy. The European Space Agency (ESA) has launched a project caller Fiducial Reference Measurements for Satellite Ocean Colour (FRM4SOC, see http://www.frm4soc.org). Led by Tartu Observatory Estonia, FRM4SOC aims to establish and maintain SI traceability of Fiducial Reference Measurements (FRM) for satellite OCR. As part of this project, a 3-day workshop is being convened at ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy on February 21st to 23rd 2017 to evaluate options for long-term future European satellite OCR vicarious adjustment infrastructure for the Sentinel-3 OLCI and Sentinel-2 MSI A/B/C and D instruments.

Citations This article incorporates public area materials from web sites or documents of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Thorough protocols had been applied for documenting spacecraft construction and upkeep. The potential political menace to Apollo blew over, due in massive part to the support of President Lyndon B. Johnson, who on the time still wielded a measure of influence with the Congress from his personal Senatorial experience.
Why Have I Been Blocked?
It was deliberate to launch on February 21, 1967, as the first low Earth orbital check of the Apollo command and repair module. The mission never flew; a cabin fire throughout a launch rehearsal test at Cape Kennedy Air Force Station Launch Complex 34 on January 27 killed all three crew members—Command Pilot Gus Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee—and destroyed the command module (CM). The name Apollo 1, chosen by the crew, was made official by NASA in their honor after the fire. Immediately after the fire, NASA convened an Accident Review Board to determine the purpose for the fireplace, and each chambers of the United States Congress performed their very own committee inquiries to oversee NASA’s investigation.
The ignition supply of the fireplace was determined to be electrical, and the fire unfold quickly as a result of flamable nylon material and the high-pressure pure oxygen cabin ambiance. Rescue was prevented by the plug door hatch, which could not be opened towards the interior pressure of the cabin. Because the rocket was unfueled, the check had not been considered hazardous, and emergency preparedness for it was poor. Dimorphos was too small and too near Didymos for nearly any observer to see instantly, but its orbital geometry is such that it transits Didymos once every orbit after which passes behind it half an orbit later. Any observer that can detect the Didymos system due to this fact sees the system dim and brighten once more as the 2 bodies cross. The first international partnership in space wasn’t the International Space Station.
Crewed Apollo flights have been suspended for twenty months whereas the command module’s hazards had been addressed. However, the development and uncrewed testing of the lunar module (LM) and Saturn V rocket continued. The Saturn IB launch car for Apollo 1, SA-204, was used for the primary LM take a look at flight, Apollo 5. The first profitable crewed Apollo mission was flown by Apollo 1’s backup crew on Apollo 7 in October 1968. Apollo 1, initially designated AS-204, was deliberate to be the primary crewed mission of the Apollo program, the American endeavor to land the primary man on the Moon.

On July 15, 1975, an Apollo spacecraft launched carrying a crew of three and docked two days in a while July 17, with a Soyuz spacecraft and its crew of two. In September, India successfully launched its first space mission to study the sun, less than two weeks after a profitable uncrewed landing near the south pole area of the moon. The take a look at involved launching a module to outer space and bringing it back to earth to test the spacecraft’s crew escape system, mentioned the Indian Space Research Organization chief S. India efficiently carried out Saturday the first of a collection of key test flights after overcoming a technical glitch forward of its planned mission to take astronauts into space by 2025, the house agency stated. After the profitable altitude checks, the spacecraft was faraway from the altitude chamber on January 3, 1967, and mated to its Saturn IB launch automobile on pad 34 on January 6. During the Congressional investigation, Senator Walter Mondale publicly revealed a NASA internal doc citing issues with prime Apollo contractor North American Aviation, which became known as the Phillips Report.

They’ve been doing it for years, first in the Shuttle-Mir program, and now on the International Space Station. This orbital cooperation has grown to incorporate partners within the Canadian, European and Japanese area companies, and will continue well into the next decade, as humanity learns about residing off the house planet to arrange for longer journeys beyond Earth orbit. But before the 2 Cold War-rivals first met in orbit in 1975, such a partnership seemed unlikely.
India is planning its first mission to the International Space Station next yr in collaboration with the United States. The glitch brought on by a monitoring anomaly in the system was rectified and the test was carried out efficiently 75 minutes later from the Sriharikota satellite tv for pc launching station in southern India, Somanath informed reporters. The launch was delayed by forty five minutes within the morning due to climate conditions. The try was again deferred by more than an hour due to a problem with the engine, and the bottom computer put the module’s liftoff on hold, mentioned Somanath.
In January 2005, three granite benches, built by a school classmate of one of the astronauts, had been installed at the site on the southern edge of the launch pad. There’s always a risk that you could have a catastrophic failure, in fact; this can occur on any flight; it might possibly happen on the last one in addition to the primary one. So, you just plan as finest you’ll find a way to to deal with all these eventualities, and you get a well-trained crew and also you go fly.
Lightweight and easy to set up and use, MRTS is an reasonably priced, standalone, Windows®-based man-portable tester. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) notifies automobile house owners when an emission test is required. There are several actions that could trigger this block together with submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed information.
The DART influence on the middle of Dimorphos decreased the orbital period, beforehand 11.92 hours, by 33±1 minutes. This massive change signifies the recoil from material excavated from the asteroid and ejected into area by the influence (known as ejecta) contributed significant momentum change to the asteroid, beyond that of the DART spacecraft itself. As the diameter of Earth is round 13,000 kilometers, a hypothetical asteroid impact could be avoided with as little of a shift as half of that (6,500 kilometers).

During nearly two days of joint actions, the mission’s two Soviet cosmonauts and three U.S. astronauts carried out 5 joint experiments and exchanged commemorative items. The Soyuz was the first Soviet spacecraft used for manned flight since its introduction in 1967. The docking module was designed and constructed by NASA to serve as an airlock and transfer corridor between the 2 craft. Active because the 1960s, India has launched satellites for itself and different countries, and successfully put one in orbit round Mars in 2014.
DART was the first-ever mission devoted to investigating and demonstrating one method of asteroid deflection by changing an asteroid’s movement in space via kinetic impression. NASA explores the unknown in air and house, innovates for the benefit of humanity, and inspires mission test the world by way of discovery. The successful mission showcased India’s rising standing as a technology and house powerhouse and dovetails with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s want to project a picture of an ascendant nation asserting its place among the many international elite. | aerospace |

You will see how theoretical knowledge is applied to the real world operations that you will carry out on a daily basis. Through a series of exercises, we will bring together all the theoretical elements and ensure that a good understanding of how work in the field has been achieved.
Flight Training conducted with TMST Drones
The course contains two days of practical flight training - TMST will provide you with all you need to learn about the basics of drone flying.
TMST have a selection of drones you can fly from DJI products to bespoke thermal imaging drones for commercial operations. As well as gaining invaluable flight experience we aim to give you a better understanding of the drones that are available and help you make the correct choice when considering what to buy in the future.
The Flight Assessment is designed to take 90 mins of which approximately 10-20 mins will be spent flying. The remaining time will be spent discussing the safe operating procedures, checklists and site assessment.
We will provide you with a 'Flight Assessment Handbook’, which comes with procedures, and checklists that are suitable for the drone you will fly during your assessment.
Skills Test Content
Although there is far more to the Flight Assessment than just flying the drone itself - We believe in de-mystifying what is involved in the actual skills test and being transparent about it – so as a candidate you know if you are ready to take the Flight Assessment based on your own performance in practice.
Upon enrolling on a course with us, we will give you our Skills Test Candidate Guide, which outlines in detail the manoeuvres you will be expected to perform on the day. As a general guide these may include:
• Hovering in a fixed position
• Orbit an object
• Height perception
• Linear tracking
• Emergency procedures
As part of the course, we will provide you with a quick and easy Operations Manual template. Day 5 of the Ground School, we will go over a few key sections and make sure the requirements are clearly explained. This is only relevant if you want to apply for a GVC after completion of the course.
From 1st July 2020 new EU regulations governing the use of drones will come into force in the UK and across Europe.
If you currently fly a drone, whether you fly just for fun or you fly for commercial gain, these new regulations will make a difference to you.
This article sets out to help you understand what your options are, where the opportunities may be and what you will have to do to fly legally after 1st July 2020.
The new regulations coming into force on 1st July 2020 are substantially different from the regulations we work with now. The key changes these regulations require are:
There will be no distinction between commercial and recreational flying.
The training organisations current known as National Qualified Entities or NQEs will have to ‘transition’ to be Recognised Assessment Entities or RAEs.
There will be three categories of operation, Open, Specific and Certified.
There will be three standard levels of training and assessment – which one you will need will be determined by the nature of your intended flying and the drone you will use.
The levels will be:
1 The A2 Certificate of Competence (A2 CofC) is required to fly in the Open Category A2 (near people). This requires you to complete an online course and pass a 30 question exam. There is no practical flight assessment for the A2 CofC but you will need to self-declare that you have completed training flights. These courses will be available from RAEs.
2 The General VLOS Certificate (GVC) is required for you to fly in the Specific Category. This requires for you to take a course much like the current PfCO courses. Theory, Operations Manual and Flight Assessment.
Current PfCO Holders
If you already hold a current CAA Permission for Commercial Operations (either Standard Permissions or OSC/Non-Standard Permissions) it will continue to be valid for as long as you renew it. You will be able to renew indefinitely and will retain all the privileges of your PfCO indefinitely. Should you let your PfCO lapse you will lose these privileges and will then need to fly within the new regulatory framework. The first time you renew after July 2020 your PfCO will be changed to an Operational Authorisation, but the terms in it will remain as they are
If you need to fly a drone with a Maximum Take-Off Mass over 2kg and to operate in or near congested areas or where there are likely to be any members of the public (uninvolved people) the only way you will be able to continue to operate it from July 2020 is by retaining your PfCO.
You may, however, choose to switch to the Open Category A2 and purchase a C2 drone (up to 4kg) when they become available. You will then be able to fly as close as 30m to uninvolved people in normal flight or 5m in a switchable ‘slow flight mode’. These distances are lateral, i.e. a cylinder; the bubble rule will no longer apply. To fly in Open Category A2 you will need to take the A2 Certificate of Competence (A2 CofC) exam, but you will not need an Operations Manual or to apply to the CAA for an Operational Authorisation. As soon as you have been issued with your A2 CofC you will be able to fly. You will then let your PfCO lapse.
For many PfCO holders it will not be possible to operate in the A2 Sub-Category, particularly as there are no C2 drones yet available. If you need to fly a drone over 2kg, fly within 30m of uninvolved people during take-off and landing, use the bubble rule to be able to transit over roads or property etc. etc. then you will no be able to fly in the A2 Sub-Category. You have the option either to renew your PfCO to retain those permissions or you will need to apply for an Operational Authorisation in the Specific Category which will require for you to complete the General VLOS Certificate (GVC) training, including the flight assessment, and have Operations Manual. This is very similar to the current PfCO course and application process.
As it stands, there will be no exemptions from the requirements for gaining a GVC for remote pilot who have already completed a PfCO course with a NQE.
Holding a PfCO is the only way you can legally operate a drone for commercial gain between now and 1st July 2020.
Our advice is to complete your course and apply for a GVC. You then have all the options open to you as set out above for PfCO holders.
Our instructors are all qualified in their specialised field; they have a wealth of knowledge gained through working in hostile and challenging environments within the military, law enforcement and the private security industry.

STEM day visit to Cornwall Aviation Heritage CentreWow! What an amazing day at the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre with Year 11 & 12 students; the fun packed, informative and 'awesome' activity was a special visit arranged by our wonderful Mrs Eglinton for the annual STEM day.
The students were invited to board the various types of aircraft, ranging from 1960's passenger planes to Jet fighters. The volunteer guides (some of them retired pilots) gave very informative tours of each plane, with detailed explanations about the history and mechanics of each one.The highlight though, for many of our students, was the opportunity to sit in the cockpit of the planes and feel like a true pilot, testing out the flying equipment.
As usual, our students made a big impression, a member of staff at the centre said they were 'exceptional, very caring to each other, polite, and it was an absolute pleasure to have us as visitors'. Comments like this always makes me feel very proud to be part of our unique school community and highlights the enriching educational experience students gain from our offsite activities. | aerospace |

Few will know that they actually flew on December 14th, days earlier, in less than preferable weather. The brothers did a coin flip to see who would go first, and Wilbur won. It's often thought that Orville, who flew the first flight on the 17th, won, but no, it was Wilbur, days earlier. With this the first time ever testing the much heavier craft, Wilbur ended up underestimating the controls, and had a hard landing right after take-off due to poor winds coming in at an angle. However, he knew the plane would fly, and wrote to his father, "There is now no question of final success."
Others before, and after, were not as fortunate.
Some people still delight in talking about Samuel Langley's attempts over the Potomac River as being "successful", in that somehow the "Plane" "Flew". In reality, his craft broke and plummeted immediately into the water, and was never air worthy. None of the developments on the plane were used on later aircraft. Even when Glenn Curtiss rebuilt the plane with more modern advancements, it barely was able to lift off of the water and go forward. Curtiss went on to try to steal many of the Wrights' designs, and later became a land baron selling swampland in Florida, by the way. But North Carolina had its share of close calls with flight in other ways.
Henry Gatling was born in Hertford County. He was mostly famous for being the brother of the guy who invented the Gatling Gun. He built a plane based on the observations of buzzards in the 1870s. It was hand powered with blowers sending air under wings to keep it aloft. Some people claimed to have seen it fly, but the description of the plane rolling down a ramped hill, then rapidly descending to the ground where it crashed badly enough that it was damaged beyond repair seems to indicate more of a controlled fall. You'll notice that the plane looks nothing like modern planes and no parts were utilized in future aircraft.
William Luther Paul claimed to have built the first helicopter, testing it inside a hangar, or barn, somewhere around Beaufort, NC. He may have had more success, and his craft might actually have worked. He even sent his plans to the US govt for future use. Unfortunately for him, Orville Wright had a terrible crash which killed a passenger, and Paul's mother made him promise never to fly again.
The first gyrocopter flew over the Wright Brothers Monument. The strange little ultralight helicopter looking thing was powered by a spinning propeller on the back and a large free spinning blade above a simple chair, and was invented in NC by Igor Bensen.
North Carolina was the home to the second lighter than air naval base, which used blimps to patrol the Atlantic coast for U-boats.
At the time, the base had an incredibly large storage hangar which was the largest wooden structure ever built. It burned to ashes after a welder accidentally caught the building on fire.
Francis Rogallo was a North Carolinian who probably knew that there was a good chance of success from his invention. He didn't have to write home to his wife about it, though. Rogallo wanted to fly, but without an airplane, he decided to invent a flexible wing, which he and his family ultimately used in recreation by flying off the sand dunes of the Outer Banks. Rogallo was the inventor and father of hang gliding, which is still practiced today at Jockey's Ridge. His first craft was made out of his wife's curtains. | aerospace |

What follows is one of those stories:
Maclaine Short, born and raised in Slave Lake, is a corporal in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He’s an avionics tech, which means he looks after the electronic systems of military airplanes.
The job involves a lot of travel. He’s been on missions to Afghanistan, Dominican Republic, Ellesmere Island, Scotland, Hawaii, Alaska, Spain and more.
“I really enjoy the traveling aspect and there’s a new challenge every day so it’s never boring,” Short says. “I’m quite happy with my decision; however, being away from your family is definitely the tough part.”
Unlike a lot of armed forces personnel, Short was well into another career when he decided to give military service a try. He signed up in 2017 when he was 32 years old.
“There are multiple reasons I joined,” he says, “such as traveling, job security and also I had never worked in the electrical field so it was a new challenge for myself.”
When the Air Force is called on to support Canadian peacekeeping missions, or to resupply a remote base, or to provide support for a NATO operation (among other possibilities), each flight has an avionics tech and an avionics systems tech. At least it does if the mission lasts more than a day. The systems tech looks after mechanical components, Short explains, “and we repair electrical ones,” such as “replacing computers, fixing wiring snags, general troubleshooting, etc. Also we both conduct servicing tasks such as fueling and pre and post-flight checks.”
One of the missions Short flew on was to Kabul, Afghanistan in 2021, called Operation AEGIS. It was to evacuate around 3,700 people from the airport. These would have been the ones whose lives were in danger due to the Taliban takeover of the country. According to Carole Short, Maclaine’s mother, it was “nerve-wracking and heartbreaking.”
This past August, Maclaine was off to the Caribbean on a very different kind of mission. The Air Force was tasked to help a Quebec drilling company rescue some trapped miners in the Dominican Republic. A giant drill was flown down in an Air Force transport plane. The mission was a success.
Then there’s Operation Boxtop, which is a supply mission to Alert, the Canadian Forces Station on the northern end of Ellesmere Island. This is generally done twice a year, bringing in thousands of pounds of food and fuel to the remote outpost located just over 800 kms. from the North Pole.
Short, son of Carole and Ric Short, graduated from Roland Michener School in Slave Lake in 2003. He worked a lot in construction after that for several years.
“The constant changing of employers and relatively zero job security were major contributing factors to joining the Armed Forces,” he says.
Short is now based at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, in eastern Ontario. | aerospace |

With the space and solar system being a favorite topic among kids, why not bring this fascination into your children’s bedroom? Engaging in activities based around space exploration, planets, and the moon, not only provides a visually appealing environment but also promotes science learning. The following sections offer ideas and materials to help you create a space-themed bedroom that will delight your kids and stimulate their curious minds.
A picture paints a thousand words, and what better way to introduce your children to the wonders of space than with a mural of the solar system? Creating a mural is not just a simple activity; it’s a journey of learning and discovery that will engage your kids’.
Begin by researching different planets and their unique characteristics. Collect materials like paint, brushes, and maybe even some glow-in-the-dark paint for that extra touch of cosmic magic. As you and your children work on the mural, take some time to discuss each planet’s unique features and fun facts. Remember, this is not just a decoration project, but a learning experience that could ignite your children’s passion for science and exploration.
Once the mural is completed, complement it with other space-related accessories. A planet-themed lampshade, moon-shaped cushions, or even a bedspread boasting stars and rockets can add a playful touch to the room.
When selecting accessories, consider incorporating some interactive elements that encourage play and learning. For example, a solar system mobile can serve as an engaging visual aid, and space-themed board games can add a fun educational layer to playtimes.
Every astronaut needs a control center, and your children will love having their own exploration corner. This area can contain space-related books, a telescope for stargazing, and even a small table to create their own spacecraft designs.
A space exploration corner should inspire curiosity and drive your child’s passion for learning. Consider adding a world map with marked space stations or even a miniature model of the International Space Station. Remember, the idea is to create an environment that encourages your kids to question, research, and learn.
A space-themed room isn’t complete without activities that spark curiosity about space and science. This could mean hosting regular space-themed story times, involving your children in planetarium visits, or even teaching them how to identify constellations.
One fun activity could be a "moon landing" simulation. Use materials such as cardboard, aluminum foil, and duct tape to create a simple lunar module and astronaut suits. Then, act out the moon landing with your kids, using this as a springboard for discussions about the history of space exploration.
If your child’s interest in space extends beyond the home, consider organizing a space-themed activity in their classroom. This could involve a show-and-tell of their space-themed bedroom, a presentation on the solar system, or a hands-on experiment demonstrating the principles of rocket propulsion.
Engaging with your child’s classroom can help further their interest in space and create a community of young space enthusiasts. Remember, the ultimate goal is to foster a love of learning and the courage to explore the unknown.
Designing a child’s room around the theme of space and the solar system is more than just an interior design project. It’s an opportunity to inspire, engage and educate your children about the wonders of the universe. From painting murals to playing space-themed games, every activity is an opportunity for learning and discovery. And who knows, you may find that you’ve ignited the curiosity of a future astronaut or astrophysicist.
In addition to the educational fun provided through interactive room decorations and accessories, there are numerous free printable learning resources available online that can further enhance the space theme. Earth science worksheets, solar system project guides, or even a NASA-inspired coloring book can be great additions to your child’s space exploration corner.
Moreover, children can be introduced to the concept of Reggio Emilia, an educational approach that emphasizes hands-on discovery learning. This approach can be integrated into the space-themed room by providing materials for your children to create their own interpretations of the solar system or outer space. This could include cardboard, paint, glitter, or any other craft supplies that can be used to create planets, stars, and rocket ships.
Incorporate fine motor skills development into the activities as well. For instance, your children can design and build a model of a space station using Lego blocks or play dough. This exercise will not only teach them about the structure and purpose of a space station but will also enhance their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
Enhance your child’s digital skills by introducing them to online resources. A quick read NASA article hours before bedtime or a space-themed online game can be a fun way to end the day while continuously learning. Remember, variety in learning materials and methods helps to keep your child engaged and interested.
Creating a solar system-inspired children’s room not only serves as an exciting design project but also opens up a universe of learning possibilities. Every chosen item, from the mural of the planets to the space-themed accessories, contributes to creating an environment that inspires curiosity, fosters learning, and encourages exploration of the outer space.

It takes a special level of understanding to produce cgi for world leading military and commercial aircraft technology manufacturer BAE Systems. We are extremely proud of our long standing relationship with the organisation, working on several high level projects. One of our first offered the rare opportunity to combine our technical and creative cgi skills – and it had to impress the most elite of audiences.
We were initially commissioned to create CBT training material for ground and air crew on the Eurofighter Typhoon.
As the project progressed we were briefed to produce content for a lavish handover event, during which the Saudi Prince was to take delivery of the first 72 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft on behalf of The Royal Saudi Air Force. The event had to impress, and it was our utmost priority to ensure that our work played a pivotal role in exceeding the high expectations of BAE systems for project.
The Short CGI team worked closely with experiential agency WRG who transformed an empty hangar into an elaborate theatre space for the Typhoon sales presentation to take place.
We produced a high resolution 3D model which was projected onto a huge screen, giving the impression of an aircraft hovering in the centre of the auditorium. This amazing animated sequence added a real sense of drama and build up as a prelude to the real aircraft reveal.
How we do it

The engine was rated for a maximum operating time of 9,000 hours (more than one year if operated continuously), and had a special mechanism that could keep it clean for the entire New York-to-Paris flight. The film, however, was commended for its special effects and Stewart's performance.

It was also, for its day, very fuel-efficient, enabling longer flights carrying less fuel weight for given distances. This protective coating has yellowed with age, resulting in the golden hue seen today. In 1972, Spirit 2 was bought for $50,000 by the San Diego Air & Space Museum (formerly San Diego Aerospace Museum) and placed on public display until it was destroyed by arson in 1978.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first two people to walk on the moon, but they couldn’t have done it without Margaret Hamilton.
Not only did Hamilton lead the team at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory (now the Draper Laboratory) that wrote the Apollo Guidance Computer, which navigated and controlled the spacecraft, but she pretty much saved the Apollo from missing its landing. Read More

Canadian astronaut Commander Chris Hadfield has blown my mind with his cover of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” done in space! As his 5-month tour aboard the International Space Station did not compromise his mustache, it sure gave him the proper perspective to cover this epic tale of isolation.
I’ll give it to the Commander, his version is far less full of despair than our favorite alien, and has been flying around Internet space further proving that being an astronaut is the coolest job ever.

Sincerely, I was almost frustrated. I was at the ABV airport for over 7 hours. However, First Aviation Airways compensated for the delays. I was told that First Nation Airways commenced operation the same day (November 3, 2011). So, First Nation Airways is our Aviation industry’s last born.
Their fleet currently include 3 Airbus A320-200 while they expect 6 more aircrafts to be delivered before the end of December, 2011.
When we boarded the Airbus, almost all the passengers commented that it looked like an international flight to them. In fact, the old man that sat next to me didn’t stop talking about the world class service we received until we got to Lagos.
The amazing Airbus boasts of leather sits for both Business Class cabin and the Economy cabins. On some other airlines I have tried, leather sits are limited to Business Class passengers
I flew economy, but I must confess that the service I received made me feel like it was Business/First Class. We were given rice and a choice drink, unlike other airline that give cake or pie. One other thing I love about the aircraft is its public GPS Navigation System. This displays the speed at which the aircraft is moving and the altitude at which it’s flying. It also displays the outside temperature. This system also displays the route of the aircraft in real time.
From the counter down to the aircraft, all their staff were great. One of their staff even attempted to help me when the ATM Machines at the ABV airport couldn’t dispense cash.
- No Online Booking: As at this morning, First Nation Airways has still not made their website accessible to everyone. Therefore, it means that you won’t be able to book your flights online. This is a major disadvantage for someone like. I prefer to book my flights online and even check in online before getting to the airport. This makes me avoid the queue at the airport. I was able to speak to a senior staff at the ABV airport about it and he promised that the site will be live before the end of this week. He then gave me the URL of the proposed booking portal to be www.flyfirstnation.com.
- Passengers found it difficult to locate their sit: This is due to the fact that it many of the passenger’s first time in the Airbus. Many of us are used to the Boeing series used by major airlines in the country. Due to the size of the aircraft, the host(ess) could not help all the passengers in locating their sits. For instance, the old man that sat next to me shouldn’t have been there. The solution therefore is that First Nation Airways need to get more host(ess) to help first time passengers in locating their sits.
If First Nation Airways continue this kind of service, then other operators will have to upgrade their services to be able compete with them. What I experienced is just great for Economy Class. I believe the Business Class passengers had similar great experience too. I recommend them for every classy traveler. | aerospace |

- Regulatory compliance achieved
Figure 1: Rotor wash from a helicopter landing in an urban environment. Trees and buildings contain the effects, however high speed regions between buildings require controls.
Helicopters often operate in close proximity to pedestrians and cars. At low altitude the rotor wash from a helicopter can exceed safety criteria. This can result in wind speeds that may knock some pedestrians off their feet. Establishing a pedestrian-free area around the helipad is the most common way to control such effects. Fixed barriers to deflect or dampen the rotor wash are another potential solution. This is addressed by Section 6 of the Manual of Standards for Airports which places limits on jet blast, propeller wash and rotor wash velocities in regions where people or equipment are likely to be found. Depending on the location, additional measures may be appropriate, for example children and older adults are likely to be more vulnerable to strong winds than airport ground staff.
The complexity of the airflow patterns involved is one of the key challenges in modelling rotor wash. The spinning rotor generates a downward flow of air that generates turbulence and vortices. This can cause significant changes in both air pressure and velocity, which in turn impact nearby objects and people. Understanding the impact of the rotor wash on anemometers and wind vanes is also critical in some locations.
Synergetics used CFD to estimate the rotor wash from a helicopter approaching and landing on a helipad to identify regions where air speeds may be sufficiently high to require controls. These targeted locations were then addressed through a combination of physical barriers and access restrictions. This targeted solution provided confidence in the controls whilst also minimising the costs.

Thursday, Jul 11, 2013 11:23 am
Airdrie Regional Air Show goers will be treated to an up-close look at a Royal Canadian Air Force fighter aircraft, the CF-18 Hornet this weekend.
At this yearís show, Airdrie raised Cpt. Steve Hurlbut, a graduate of Bert Church High School, will be at the helm.
Hurlbut will be piloting the CF-18 - an aircraft capable of speeds up to mach 1.8, roughly 2189 km/ hr - on July 13 and 14, in performing in his first air show.
It was a bit of serendipity that led the 37-year-old Air Force Captain to be added to the roster for the air show. He was in Calgary earlier last week to march in the Stampede Parade and it worked out that he was available for the show.
ďItís awesome to be here flying the (CF-18) Hornet in my home town,Ē said Hurlbut. ďItís a dream, itís what you read about in magazines and itís never you thatís going to do it, itís always going to be somebody else; if I never do another air show again I wouldnít care because I got to do this one.Ē
Hurlbutís passion for flight has been with him since he was a student at Bert Church High School.
He became a member of the 538 Air Cadets in Calgary and attained his pilots license at the age of 16.
In 1993, at 17, Hurlbut joined the Royal Canadian Air Force where he spent 10 years as a navigator on an Aurora CP-140 Ė a mammoth 35 metre long aircraft, with a wingspan of 30 metres and weighing over 27,000 kg.
Following that 10-year stint, Hurlbut returned to school where he achieved a masters in physics at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario.
He is currently a member of the 409 Squadron where he has been flying the CF-18 for about two years. The 409 is a tactical fighter squadron based out of Cold Lake, Alberta where Hurlbut lives.
This air show is what Hurlbut describes as ďjam on the toastĒ or something extra, as CF-18 pilots are given a lot of responsibility, primarily to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and answers the call when the Royal Canadian Air Force is needed overseas. The 409 Squadron are among the first to be called upon.
The jet will be fueled in Calgary before making its appearance in Airdrie where. Hurlbut will give a demonstration and pose for pictures with air show attendees.
Flying the plane itself isnít all that difficult for Hurlbut, who says itís the operation aspect that is most difficult.
ďItís a very complex machine and it takes a lot of brain power to operate it, but the flying itself is second nature,Ē said Hurlbut, who wanted to alert those who will be in attendance that he wonít be performing anything too crazy at his first air show.
ďIím just going to do some touch and gos on the runway and make some noise and then stop so that people can see the airplane,Ē said Hurlbut. ďItís not going to be a full on Hornet demonstration because thatís a very specific qualification, I donít want to give people the wrong idea and that Iím going to be coming in inverted along the runway at low level.Ē
Hurlbut will essentially be a one-man crew over the weekend, inspecting and flying the plane without the assistance of technicians, but heís fine with it and says that itís not as tough as it may seem.
ďI do a specific inspection to make sure everything is working properly,Ē said Hurlbut. ďThe jet is actually pretty straightforward though and itís about as easy to start as a car.Ē | aerospace |

The possibility moved a step closer to reality with the customs department giving its clearance for international flight operations from and to the airport. “Our long-standing dream is nearing fruition,” a community leader said.
The only hurdle now for international flight operations is immigration clearance. This is expected to be obtained in “a few days,” the community members quoted the Superintendent of Police B Dayanand as saying.
Meanwhile, a high-level meeting held at the airport recently discussed the possibility of the first international flight service from Mangalore on May 21, “if everything goes well”.
Low-cost airline Air-India Express had proposed starting a Mangalore-Dubai service, with four weekly services. According to a tentative schedule, its Boeing 737-800 is to arrive in Mangalore from Dubai at 8.20pm and take off for Dubai at 9.20pm.
However, according to Air-India’s manager in Doha, Debashis Golder, the proposal has been kept in abeyance because of a shortage of operating crew. No new date has yet been fixed, he added.
It is not known if any other airline will grab the opportunity, sources indicated.
Currently, Indian Airlines and Jet Air use the airport for domestic services.
Meanwhile, community leaders in Doha urged expatriate organisations to send a joint memorandum to concerned airline officials to route an international flight from the Gulf to Mangalore, especially during the summer holidays. | aerospace |

More than a year after NASA’s Mars Insight landing module sank into the ‘Homestead Hollow’. A sandy impact crater in a flat and smooth lava extension called Elysium planitia, Mars is now serving its meteorological secrets: Marsquake, the swirls of ‘dust demons’ and the constant low rumor of the infrasound.
Insight mission to Mars
The findings are detailed in a set of six articles published in the journal Nature Geoscience and the journal Nature Communications. In the concept of this artist from NASA’s Insight Lander on Mars, the subsoil layers of the planet can be seen below and the dust demons can be seen in the background. Image of Nicholas Starter.
InSight is the first mission dedicated to looking deeply below the Martian surface. His scientific tools include a seismic instrument to detect earthquakes, sensors to measure wind and air pressure, a magnetometer and a heat flow probe designed to measure the temperature of the planet.
Although Insight’s team continues to work on Martine’s surface research, ultrasensitive seismometers, called Seismic Experiments for Interior Structures (SIX), have led scientists to ‘hear’ many trembling events ranging from hundreds to thousands. Seismic waves are influenced by the materials they pass through, which gives scientists a way to study the structure of the internal structure of the planet (insight mission to Mars).
Mars can help the team better understand how all rocky planets, including Earth, formed first. Mars trembles more often but also lighter than expected. It has found more than 450 seismic signals to date, most of which are probably earthquakes as opposed to data noise created by environmental factors, such as wind.
scientists see rocks
The largest earthquake had a magnitude of approximately 4.0, not large enough to travel under the crust in the lower mantle and the planet’s core. Researcher at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Insight chief investigator Dr. Bruce Bannert said: “These are the sweetest parts of the apple to study the internal structure of the planet.”
Scientists are ready for the first one: months after Insight landed in November 2018, when they recorded the first seismic event. At the end of 2019, SIX discovered two seismic signals later in the day, suggesting that Insight landed at a particularly quiet time. Scientists still have fingers crossed by the still big one.
Mars does not have tectonic plates like Earth, but it has active volcanic zones that can cause rumbles. A couple of earthquakes were strongly associated with an area, Cerberus fossae, where scientists see rocks that could have shaken the rocks. The old floods recorded canals approximately 1,300 km (800 miles) long. Lava flows and in the last 10 million years in the geological period it blinked in those channels.
University of British Columbia
Some of these young lava flows suggest fractures due to earthquakes about 2 million years ago. Planetary geologist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Dr. Matt Golombek said: “This is the youngest tectonic feature on the planet.” The fact that we do not see evidence of tremors in this area is not surprising, but it is very good.
Magnetic signal: Billions of years ago, Mars had a magnetic field. It no longer exists, but it repels ghosts, magnetizing ancient rocks that are now between 61 meters (200 feet) several kilometers underground. The Insight is equipped with a magnetometer on the surface of Mars to detect magnetic signals.
Insight mission to Mars
Magnetometers have found that the signals in Homestead Hollow are 10 times stronger than those predicted based on data from spacecraft studying that region. The measure of these orbiters has an average of more than one hundred miles, while the measure of perception is more local. Planetary Scientist at the University of British Columbia and Dr. de Planetas.
Catherine Johnson said: Because most of the surface rocks instead of the view are magnetically marked by the east of the planet, this magnetism must have come from ancient rocks. We are combining this data with what we know about seismology and geology to understand the magnetic layers below the information.
In addition, scientists suggest how these signals change over time. Measurements vary by day and night. They also pulse around midnight. Theories are still being formed due to such changes, but one possibility is that they are related to the solar wind that interacts with the martial atmosphere. The truncated view of Mars shows the Insight landing module that studies seismic activity. Image by Nature Geoscience.
InSight continuously measures wind speed, wind direction and pressure, providing greater speed than previously launched missions. The spacecraft’s weather sensors have detected thousands of eddies that pass. Which are called dust demons when sand is taken and is visible. Atmospheric scientist at the Sorbonne University, Dr. We have more vortices this season than any other place that carries weather sensors, said Ayemarie Spiga.
Despite all this activity and constant images, Insight cameras still have dust phenomena but SIX can bring these vortices to the surface like a giant vacuum. Whirlwind’s subsoil is perfect for seismic exploration, SEIS chief researcher Dr. Said Philippe Loganne, a researcher at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP).
Origin of the red planet
Insight has two radios: one to send and receive data on a regular basis, and a more powerful radio designed to measure Wobble’s Mars as it spins. This X-band radius, also known as an internal structure and rotation experiment (RIES), can determine whether a planet’s core is solid or liquid. A solid core will cause Mars to wobble less than a liquid. This first year of data is just a beginning. Seeing the entire Martian year (two Earth years) will give scientists a better idea of the size and speed of the planet’s shape.
NASA is an agency of the United States government responsible for science and technology related to air and space. The space age began in 1957 with the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik. NASA opened its doors on October 1, 1958. The agency was created to oversee space exploration and aeronautical research in the United States. The administrator is in charge of NASA.
What is NASA?
The administrator of NASA is nominated by the President and confirmed by a vote in the Senate. About NASA: NASA astronaut Christina Koch is represented during a spacewalk. Many people know something about the work of NASA. But most have no idea how different the agency works. Astronauts do scientific research in orbit. Satellites help scientists learn more about Earth.
Space probes study the solar system and beyond. New developments improve air travel and other aspects of flight. NASA is also launching a new program to send humans to explore the Moon and Mars. In addition to those main missions, NASA does many other things. The agency shares what it learns so that your information can improve for people around the world. For example, companies can use NASA’s discoveries to create new derivative products.
discovery of exploration
NASA helps teachers prepare students who will be engineers, scientists, astronauts and other future NASA activists. They will be adventurers who will continue to explore the solar system and the universe. NASA has a tradition of investing in programs and activities that inspire students, teachers, families and communities in the excitement and discovery of exploration.
NASA offers training to help teachers learn new ways to teach science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The agency also involves students in NASA’s mission to encourage them to learn. Competitions and things to do with NASA.. USA map UU. With characteristics indicated by NASA centers and stars. With NASA headquarters in Washington, DC, there are 10 NASA centers and seven testing and research facilities throughout the United States.
Who works for NASA?
NASA is based in Washington, DC. The agency has nine centers, a jet propulsion laboratory and seven test and research facilities located in several states across the country. More than 17,000 people work for NASA. Many more work as government contractors with the agency. These people are hired by companies that NASA pays to work.
The combined workforce represents a wide variety of jobs. Astronauts may be NASA’s best known employees. But they only represent the total workforce. Many NASA activists are scientists and engineers. But there are many other jobs, from secretaries to writers, from lawyers to teachers.
NASA Center and Facilities
Career corner for students: The Apollo 11 mission marked the first time humans walked on the moon. When NASA started, a manned spacecraft program began. The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs helped NASA learn to fly in space and resulted in the first human landing on the Moon in 1969. Currently. NASA has astronauts living and working on the International Space Station.
NASA’s Robot Space Probe has visited all the planets of the solar system and many other celestial bodies. Telescopes have allowed scientists to see the confines of space. Satellites have revealed a large amount of data on Earth, resulting in a better understanding of valuable information, such as weather patterns.
NASA has helped develop and test a variety of state-of-the-art aircraft. These aircraft include aircraft that set new records. Among other benefits and these tests have helped engineers improve air transport. NASA technology has contributed to many articles used in everyday life, from smokers to medical exams.

A Technology or product that was originally developed for a space program. For example, the first smoke detector was built by a company for NASA to use at the first American Skylab space station. Now the smoke detector for the home is a derivative product. NASA astronaut Christina Koch is represented during a spacewalk.
NASA tested two SR-71 planes. They are still the fastest and most flying plane in the world. This article is part of the NASA Nose series (Grade K-4). Aerial view of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center: NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida, launches spacecraft around and beyond Earth.
Each NASA center works in different parts of NASA’s missions. NASA means National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA was launched on October 1, 1958 as part of the United States government. NASA is in charge of American science and technology that has to do with airplanes or space.
What does NASA do?
NASA does many different things. NASA makes satellites. Satellites help to learn more about the Earth. NASA sends a probe into space. NASA scientists study things in the solar system and even far away. A new program will send humans to explore the moon and, someday, Mars. NASA also shared what they learned with others. Those who don’t work at NASA can use NASA’s ideas to make new inventions.
These new inventions can help improve life on Earth.
- Do you like to learn science, math and new things?
- Do you want to be an adventurer?
- Would you like to plan future missions to other planets and outer space?
The people of NASA work hard to share news about NASA’s missions with teachers. Then, teachers can use NASA’s lessons to teach their students about science, technology, engineering and math. NASA is based in Washington, DC. There are 10 NASA centers in the United States. There are also seven small NASA work sites where they test and study Earth and space.
Thousands of people work for NASA! Being an astronaut is probably the most famous job at NASA. But astronauts represent only a small part of the workforce. Many engineers and scientists work at NASA. People are also doing other tasks, such as secretaries, writers, lawyers and teachers. Astronaut Ed White was the first American to walk in space. Since its inception, NASA began planning manned spacecraft.
The Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs helped NASA learn to fly in space. He made his first human landing on the moon in 1969. NASA astronauts have to live and work on the International Space Station. Space probes have visited all the planets of the solar system. Scientists have looked into space using telescopes. NASA satellites help people understand the weather patterns on Earth.
NASA also helps in the development and testing of new aircraft. Some planes set new records. NASA works to make air travel faster and safer. In 2020, NASA turns 60! Would you like to become an explorer! Would you like to help other planets and outer space for future missions! Then maybe you should work for NASA. NASA is an acquaintance.

An abbreviation is a word formed from the first letters of other words. POT. Stands for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. NASA is in charge of space exploration. This American agency began in 1958. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union were in a space race. Each country wanted to be the first to explore space and place a man on the moon.
The Soviet Union won a victory on September 13, 1959.
Its Moon 2 was the first man-made object to land on the moon. NASA won the final victory on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 astronauts were the first people to walk on the moon. Why are you interested in space! And I don’t mean just space, which means stars, planets, solar system … whatever is “outside.”
I know you are interested because everyone is. We all have different reasons, but honestly, who cares who they really are? The fact that almost everyone is interested in space is, in itself, interesting. You cannot say the same for many, if not all, most other subjects. If I asked the following question:
- Why are you interested in pandas?
- Why are you interested in interiors?
Doubtful Sure, those topics may be interesting, but most people will probably need persuasion and what is surprising for space, nobody needs it. I can ask you why you are interested in space without having to tell any other details because I already know you are interested.
The answer implies a completely different question … but I’ll come back to that later.
The space shuttle spins in orbit from the launch pad 39A of the Endeavor Kennedy Space Center when the vehicle departs on its STS-134 mission of the 25th and last space flight. The takeoff was on May 16, 2011 at 12:56 UTC. When I read or listen to people at NASA because of their lack of vision, or very badly, I demand that the agency justify their existence, I will be honest with you, there is a part of me that agrees with them.
Every major government agency should make it clear to the public what it does for them, and for those who speak or write publicly, this message may not be received or that not everything was communicated and what about a vision for the future? Well, a part of me says yes, yes, why NASA has not had great vision, oh, I don’t know, sending humans back to the moon, then to a terrestrial asteroid, finally in preparation for a long time in Mars.
Branch of the United States
Well, apparently this is NASA’s plan (see NASA’s contribution to the Global Exploration Roadmap report published in 2013), but I think nobody knows. In any case, the reality is that NASA’s great vision is not for NASA at all. East Washington D.C. And it depends especially on those who set the budget of NASA. In the 1960s, the Chief of the Executive Branch of the United States said that we are going to put humans on the moon and behold.
This happened because it became a national priority, but it was not the only reason. NASA received 5% of the federal budget during parts of the Apollo program (and, as a reference, has been obtaining around 0.5% or less for the past 5 to 10 years) and then we went to the moon, and it was tremendous, but abruptly … we stopped going. Even if we eject it and land humans on the moon, it might actually be more interesting to consider why we stay.
From the 1950s until the early 1970s we entered the space age: we literally went from zero satellites in Earth orbit to hundreds. We become experts in building rockets, launching them successfully, building satellites and communicating with them, processing and understanding your data. In those early days we saw NASA and other government agencies launch and operate satellites in orbit using this new New Technology.
Finally, in the late 1960s, even some private institutions became fun and that was approaching a point where they could send humans to the moon with some regularity. If we had been able to send NASA administrators to the moon at that time. They would have looked at the lunar landscape with rovers, landings and geophysical monitoring stations and would be surprised to see what their agency and their government had done.
But if I had looked at Earth through a telescope, I would have seen only a handful of commercial satellites in orbit, a satellite industry that still needed government help to get out of the earth, and (if so, Things can be seen). There is no clear path to a thriving industry in space. The vision of the future of humanity in space required help.
There was no clear path for non-governmental financing of space exploration that would eventually allow private industry to follow NASA’s footsteps on the moon, at least not soon and it really gets to the heart of the matter. The United States government has been in the business of financing an “exploration mission” for the development of seeds from a previous development.
Among other things, the family, Lewis and Clarke, was hired to explore the American West in search of the railroad route. The idea was to make maps, find adequate land to establish and find routes to get there. So that the railroads could be used for just people, goods and services, which eventually led to new businesses (or completely new Industries).
Then there was a deserted area. The railroads were to be owned and operated by private corporations, all ready to make big profits. But the goal of government participation was mainly to explore, do the risky front-end work that was needed to pave the way for a profitable and successful industry.
But to say that the best analogy would be misleading. As soon as Lewis and Clark saw a tree, and of course they saw many, it was possible to see dollar signs. The same is true for rivers, farmland, buffalo, mountains, caves. We, as humans, know how to turn these things into dollars. It is easy to observe resources like these on Earth and discover how to reap life and sell its value to other humans.
In fact, making money with him, however, is not always easy if it is the difficult part and even on earth. In that sense, this analogy crumbles because when Lewis and Clark found those things, and they did it abundantly, it became clear that money could be made, railroads could be built, industries established, it can be forward and upward. But when we look up, say, the moon or an asteroid.
There isn’t much in our human brain that screams … gold mine! In fact, this study of planetary science, the Apollo program and meteorites actually tell us what we are seeing and it originates in all sciences, in regards to resources. The answer is a bit confusing. The most promising elements seem to be hydrogen and platinum grouping elements (PGE), but if I had to take a rock.
American commercial airline industry
The surface of the random asteroid is unclear how much hydrogen or PGE it will collect. This does not mean that there is no gold mine in the asteroid belt, it certainly is, but let’s find it first, nuggets by nuggets. On the Moon, a large amount of data that they tell us is hydrogen. A large amount in a permanently shaded crater and, in addition, small quantities, united within the lunar soil itself.
Therefore, it may be that the original commercial of the American commercial airline industry in the early twentieth century has a reasonable resemblance to the original government. We knew how to fly, but the details of where to go and what to do required some development. That may not be just a complete analogy, but that’s fine, we are opening new paths.
Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander of Apollo 14, stands near a large rock on the lunar surface during the second paranormal activity of the mission on February 6, 1971. Notice the dust protruding from Shepard’s space suit. The Apollo 14 mission visited the Phra Mauro Formation, which was considered expelled from the embryo effect. Science tells us that we have to be smart where we are going in search of resources.
And laying the groundwork for this approach is at least one company. Planetary Resources, that seeks to look for asteroids in the skies using a series of telescopes launched into the low Earth orbit. However, is it a corporate job? Experience tells us that, at least when a market is predefined, the answer is yes. Because oil prospecting is the job of the oil industry.
plantainium group (PGE)
Of course, we can imagine a future in which “Space Lewis and Clark” has found a Goldmine asteroid rich in elements of the plantainium group (PGE) and also planetary resources that have been installed there and in a world like this it is easy to imagine that Planetary Resource makes short jumps, jumps and jumps because of the possibility of nearby treasures, but not yet the world we live in.
We live in a world where the PGE market is quite well established. But where it is very rare to take the scoop of a specimen in another world and analyze its structure (we have done it only for 6 planetary bodies, using different techniques. None of which is specifically for the PGE It is not sensitive) Some technical steps are required based on it before it is appropriate to start a business. This will eventually be possible, but it will take time.
So they plan to explore … what NASA’s work has traditionally been hopes that they can plant an industry. This is the new basis for which there can be no analogy. Planetary Resources is also a bit similar. Not only in terms of what they plan to do, but also in terms of financing. They plan to discover it using a telescope, ARKYD, which they are wonderfully developing to fund massively using at least Kickstarter.
Again, this is the new terrain. Reasons where the financing of successful dreams can be made possible through the use of new crowdsourcing methods such as Kickstarter. But in general, the financing of railways, that is, rockets, comes from an evolving version of NASA. Major players such as SpaceX and Orbital are funded primarily by NASA’s Commercial Cargo and Crew Program.
NASA’s commercial budget
Which accounts for more than half of NASA’s commercial budget for spaceflight and space technology for fiscal 2014. Much of the space budget NASA’s remaining commercial is for small satellite launches and technology development to ensure that the infrastructure is to create a profitable industry.
So that all potential players and players provide their services reliably to build space hardware to make it work and while NASA is doing everything they are still landing on Mars (Spirit, Opportunity, Curiosity, Mars-2020). The satellites will launch on Jupiter (June 2014) and Pluto (New Horizons 2015 Es) Saturn’s rings (Cassini ), and is thrown around the asteroid belt (Don is flying from Vesta to Ceres this year).
Then, NASA has a vision, they clean up maternity in the intermittent space and ensure that private industry has everything that is needed for the low Earth orbit. NASA returned from the moon and we decided that we should seek help there. Of course. It will take longer than we liked, and it is not so sexy to put a human on Mars until the end of the decade, but sit down, drink a second or two and start imagining the future Do it. You can end up attacking.
low Earth orbit
Virgin Galactic will make its first flight this year. Where passengers will have about 6 minutes to experience weightlessness and look out the window of the entire Earth space plane. It will be broadcast internationally. He has also developed a less known spacecraft, called LauncherOne. Which will soon be available to deploy satellites and experiments in low Earth orbit.
SpaceX, as I am sure you already know, has had many successes and is rapidly emerging as a leader in providing reliable and low-cost launch systems in Earth’s orbit. There are other players in this place, and some based on private investment, some from NASA. The landscape is changing rapidly, and we are seeing the beginning of a real industry.
Smaller companies are emerging to meet the needs of larger players and they are still working on long-term industrial goals by building other large-scale service satellites, robotic landings, telescopes and other exploration vehicles for prospecting. NASA’s objectives related to space marketing are clear: find and pave the way for industry and people and you don’t even have to believe my word. Read it yourself in the National Aeronautics and Space Law, 51 U.S.C. § 20112 (a) (4), and National Space Policy (December 18, 2010).
Which states that NASA works with industry to advance in the commercial space sector. Commercial use of space: Congress declares that the general welfare of the United States requires that the administration promote and encourage, to the greatest extent possible, the full commercial use of space.
National space policy
A strong and competitive commercial space sector is critical for continuous progress in space. The United States is committed to encouraging and facilitating the development of the US commercial space sector that supports US needs, is globally competitive and promotes American leadership in new markets and the generation of innovation-driven enterprises.
Why did you discover all this?
So let’s go back to the original question: Why are you interested in space? I said that you would definitely be interested regardless of your answer, and that was because you were answering a completely different question. There is a simple and unifying thing that tells everyone that we are interested in space … and that the question is really.
NASA’s role is to help us understand the unknown, and I would say, helping to establish a commercial space industry. An industry that is making space a familiar part of our everyday world, doing just that. It has been We are witnessing the birth of a new space industry, which will cross the human space farm into the Earth orbit and, finally, beyond. Slap, this is not a dream.
Jupiter and even Pluto
You are actually living at the dawn of a new space age … maybe you call it the New Space Age? Let’s not forget that NASA has played an important role in mentioning this. And while NASA is busy sowing those seeds. It continues to do the things it has always done … get entangled in the corners, climb roads and explore unknown parts of our solar system.
In the next few years we will see parts of Mars, Jupiter and even Pluto (we still love you Pluto) that we have never seen before. We are exploring these worlds because we have no idea what is there. Each image tells us something new and honestly. It doesn’t really matter what we analyze the electromagnetic spectrum, the oscillations of the magnetic fields or the specific organic molecules. We will learn something new and see something we have never seen before.
Is it worth investing in it?
Sure, maybe. But until then, NASA and all its partners in the International Space Agency are doing exactly that. So what is NASA for? This is to answer questions about our solar system and our universe that we still don’t know the answers. It is also to finance technologies, mission concepts and other enabling systems that eventually allow robots and humans to enter the solar system without the help of NASA.
They are leading the way to the ends of our solar system, detailing our closest neighbors like Mars and the asteroid belt, and telling us what to expect when we get there. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is an independent agency of the federal government of the United States responsible for the civil space program, as well as aeronautical and aerospace research. NASA was established in 1958, succeeding the National Aeronautics Advisory Committee.
American Project Vanguard
Since 1946, the National Aeronautics Advisory Committee (NACA) was experimenting with rockets such as the Supersonic Bell X-1. In the early 1950s, the challenge was to launch an artificial satellite for the International Geophysical Year (1957–58). An effort for this was the American Project Vanguard (insight mission to Mars).
After the Soviet launch of the world’s first artificial satellite (Sputnik 1) on October 4, 1957, the United States turned its attention to its own spacecraft efforts. Concerned about the perceived threat of national security and technical leadership (known as the “Sputnik crisis”).
The United States Congress urged immediate and rapid action; President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his advisors advised more deliberate measures. On January 12, 1958, NACA organized “a special committee on space technology,” chaired by Gifford Staver. On January 14, 1958, Hugh Dryden, director of NACA, published “A national research program for space technology.”
It is of great urgency and importance for our country to consider our reputation as a military necessity. As well as to make this challenge [Sputnik] an energy research and development program for the conquest of space To be completed by … Consequently. It is proposed that scientific research be the responsibility of a national civil agency.
NACA Space Technology Our efforts to provide leadership in Giki are increasingly capable of extending and expanding. On 29,1958, Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Law, establishing NASA. When he began on October 1, 1958, he observed 43 years of Naka’s operation.
American scientist Robert Goddard
It started with a staff of 8,000 and a budget of $ 100 million. With three large research laboratories: Langley Aeronautical Laboratory in Hampton, Virginia, United States. Ames Aeronautical Laboratory in Silicon Valley, California. Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory in Brook Park and Cleveland. President Eisenhower approved a NASA seal in 1959 (insight mission to Mars).
A significant contribution to NASA’s entry into the space race with the Soviet Union was the technology of the German rocket program, led by Werner von Bronn. Who now works for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency. (ABMA), which in turn incorporated the technology of previous works by the American scientist Robert Goddard.
NASA completed its 60th anniversary
Several research efforts were also transferred to NASA within our Air Force and several initial ARPA space programs. In December 1958. NASA obtained control of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in a contractor facility operated by the California Institute of Technology. Last year, NASA completed its 60th anniversary.
In this period of 60 years. It has reached a great height, has landed humans on the moon, sent a series of satellites to explore the universe. The Hubble telescope was installed in space. The Weezer 1 us 1 Arriving at the km of Arabia , the Parker solar probe has completed its first revolution around our own star. Now we can say that our future is in the hands of NASA.

In a statement, Cebu Pacific said the A320neo flew on sustainable aviation fuel from Tianjin in China to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.
The A320neo, which consumes 20 percent less fuel, was acquired through a 12-year leasing agreement.
“This aircraft delivery...demonstrates our commitment to providing safe, convenient, and reliable travel for our customers, while building a greener and more sustainable future,” said the company's Chief Strategy Officer Alex Reyes.
The company said it is accepting 15 aircraft deliveries for 2023. This includes 10 brand new Airbus NEO aircraft, to support its transition to a more fuel-efficient, all-NEO fleet by 2028. The airline is also receiving five additional aircraft via long-term lease.
The A320neo has 188 seats made by seat manufacturer Recaro, which makes them more comfortable for passengers with their "slim and ergonomic design," according to Cebu Pacific.
The timely addition of the aircraft comes as the airline faces complaints over "flight delays" and cancellations that have led to calls to suspend its franchise.
Cagayan de Oro's Rufus B. Rodriguez filed House Resolution 1101 seeking the suspension of the franchise granted to Cebu Pacific due to its "history of unsatisfactory services to the public." | aerospace |

If you still believe that the Lunar landings were filmed in AREA 51, your yarn has just become a little more discombobulated… as in the way a ravenous T-Rex discombobulates the Garden of Eden.
On July 3, 2009, The Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire, England released tape recordings it had been “withholding” from the Apollo 11 master tracks. In these radio transmissions, it is evident that the Russians were landing a robot the very same day that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were moonwalking, and they could have done a drive by and squashed the 15,264 kg Eagle module.
So apparently the Russians were there the whole time. When word got out that the Americans were going to send humanoids in 1969, they rushed up a robot (Luna 15) so they’d be around if the Americans screwed up. So while Neil was taking photos of his footprints and Buzz was taking communion in the camper, the Russians were close by, ready to crash the Intergalactic Planetary party. Being good Communists, they decided instead to share the moment.
I. TIME WARP
In January 1969, the Russian space program was rolling. It had just docked two manned space capsules together. Chalk it up- Sputnik, Laika the dog, Yuri the space cowboy…. and oh yeah, best of all…. a remote Russian probe (Luna 9) that LANDED ON THE MOON on Feb 3, 1966. The machine snapped a bunch of photos, sent a few messages and then turned off after 8 hours. Note: No hammer and sickle planted.
Everyone was in a hurry to get to the moon, but the Russians planned on sending robots first. They were scared that a failed man mission would be too costly in the Western Press. The problem with Lunar expeditions was not getting there, It was getting back. The Russians thought the Americans were going to get stuck on the surface and not be able to take off again i.e. a crash landing would mess up the capsule and it wouldn’t be able to take off again. The Luna program was designed to land on the moon’s surface, grab some fairy dust and report back to the space commisars. Thus a better design for the ultimate worker’s spaceship.
The Americans had their eyes and ears open to all this traffic and they quickly realized that, as capitalists, they couldn’t afford to lose. A communist moon would demoralize the population. Yet the problems and risks were large. Somebody high up in some office had to decide that Neil, Buzz and that other guy would just have to risk it. Take one for the team. Was it Nixon, Kissinger, Wernher von Braun? Any one of them would have been willing to offer up Apollo 11 as a burnt offering in the name of American progress.
In the end, it did pay off for the Americans. On the radio, the Russians gave the US its flight plan and also commented in real time about the missions… whether they thought the ship was coming down to fast, or where their probe was. What could have been a Cold War disaster, turned out to be competitive people working together.
II TIME LINE
USSR July 17, 1969- Russian probe, Luna 15, has already entered Lunar orbit and is looking for a good place to crash.
USA July 21st at 02:56 UTC- the Eagle lands in Tranquility Base. Buzz and Neil get on the horn and call everybody back home. They run around for 2.5 hours and then get back in their Winnebago and take a 7 hour nap.
USSR July 21st 2009 at 15:47 UT – The Luna 15 begins its own descent at in the Mare Crisium Crater (notice its proximity to the Sea of Tranquility). The landing did not go so well and within 4 minutes the craft was kaput.
USA July 21st at 17:54 UTC- the Eagle takes off to redock with the mothership.

United Airlines continued to fly the planes in which infected Ebola patient Tom Eric Duncan flew… without disinfecting them of #Ebola.
Says a United Airlines employee who alerted us:
To my knowledge, no flights have been cancelled because of this. The planes are usually “cleaned” between flights (cleaned as in trash picked up, quick sweep, etc.)… they usually go through a deeper cleaning at night (vacuuming, seat back pockets checked for trash, etc.). They wont be thoroughly cleaned (seats taken out, spilled soda and gunk scraped up, etc) until they have a full maintenance overhaul (usually once per year depending on aircraft type). The United plane that flew BRU-IAD was a Boeing 777 (Boeing 777-200 series to be exact).
UA 951 20SEP A/C REG N771UA 772
This shows the actual aircraft he flew was a Boeing 777-200 with aircraft registration # N771UA (this are plane specific – so this is the EXACT plane he flew).
The employee continued:
The United flight he took from IAD-DFW was UA 822. The aircraft was an Airbus A320 (A320-232 series) and the registration is N482UA. That plane, which is much smaller than the 777 he took BRU-IAD, is currently in the air as UA flight 550 from PDX-DEN (Portland, OR to Denver). The 777 is a widebody aircraft, the A320 is narrowbody.
Our United Airlines informant sends this chilling detail:
The Ebola planes are in the air as we speak flying from Portland to Denver. | aerospace |

Although I’m not fond of Space movies but guys this movie looks really intense. Watch the breathtaking moments in the trailer right below:
Gravity comes out on October 4th, 2013.
Dr. Ryan Stone is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space. | aerospace |

As part of a larger effort by Turkiye to expand its space exploration capabilities and establish a national human space program, a Turkish astronaut will be trained by Axiom Space for a future space research mission. Axiom Space will also enable Turkish science and research to be conducted in microgravity.
Axiom Space, a U.S. based commercial space company, currently building the world’s first commercial space station, is working with the TUBITAK Space Technologies Research Institute (TUBITAK UZAY) , under the direction of the Turkish Space Agency, Turkiye Uzay Ajansi (TUA) to enable this effort.
The spaceflight agreement was officially signed at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris, on 19 September 2022, with Axiom Space CEO Michael Suffredini, Deputy Minister of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey Mehmet Fatih Kacir, TUA President and Chairman of the Board Serdar Huseyin Yildirim, TUBITAK UZAY Director Dr. Mesut Gokten, and other dignitaries.
“As the 100-year anniversary of Turkiye approaches, we will celebrate this important milestone by working to send the first Turkish astronaut to space,” said Dr. Mesut Gokten. “This mission is a part of Turkiye’s ambitious 10-year space road map, which includes missions to the low-Earth orbit and the Moon as well as developing internationally viable satellite systems.” said Serdar Huseyin Yildirim.
The astronaut selection process is being managed by TUBITAK UZAY with support of Axiom Space, under the direction of the Turkish Space Agency on behalf of the Turkish government. Turkiye is evaluating scientific experiments via an open solicitation for on-orbit research. Further discussion between Turkiye and Axiom Space is underway to finalize the timeline for the mission.
“Exploration is part of the human DNA and with this agreement between Axiom Space and the nation of Turkiye, we will train and fly the first Turkish astronaut and strengthen our commitment to use commercial space as a driver to expand the international community of space explorers,” said Michael Suffredini, Axiom Space’s President and CEO.
“We are excited about Turkiye’s role as a partner in commercial space and look forward to deepening this relationship as we work together to expand scientific and technological development on Earth and in orbit.”
Axiom Space is the commercial space industry’s only full-service orbital mission provider, conducting end-to-end crewed missions. Axiom’s broad range of services include training and flying private astronauts, access to training facilitates and instructors, hardware and safety certification, and operational on-orbit management. Candidates for flight complete Axiom’s rigorous training curriculum over many months in preparation to live and conduct meaningful work in space.
The expert team at Axiom Space is helping nations and organizations build human spaceflight programs, develop astronaut selection programs, and provide the expertise needed to expand the international community of space explorers to a larger and more diverse representation of humanity.
This partnership is the latest agreement between Axiom Space and a sovereign nation that will expand international human spaceflight capabilities. Previous signatories include Italy, Hungary, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

I'm a local, independent, FAA-licensed, fully-insured Remote Pilot ("commercial drone pilot") with a Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems rating.
My home base is in Delaware County, New York; and I provide professional aerial photography and videography services throughout New York's Catskill Mountain Region and the surrounding areas.
My usual service area includes the New York counties of Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie, Greene, Ulster, and Sullivan. I'll also consider assignments in other parts of Central New York or the Southern Tier.
As an independent operator, I can provide lower-cost aerial-imaging services than drone pilots who work through referral agencies. In some cases, those agencies make more money on a job than the pilots who actually do the work.
I don't have those expenses. I deal directly with my customers. There's no "middle man" taking a piece of the pie.
Aerial Imaging Services
I provide aerial photography and/or videography services throughout New York's Catskill Mountain Region, as well as the nearby Finger Lakes and Hudson Valley areas. The specific aerial imaging services I provide include:
- Real Estate Aerial Imaging. I accept assignments from sellers, agents, brokers, and potential buyers. Whether you're selling a property, or live far away and are looking to buy property in the Catskills, I can help you out.
- Loss Documentation for Insurance Claims. Low-altitude drone photos or videos can help you document losses for insurance claims if a tree falls through your roof or a hailstorm damages your fleet of vehicles. If your insurance agent asks you for drone pictures or videos of your damages, give me a call.
- Aerial Photos and Videos for Advertising. I will take aerial photographs of your business that you can use for television commercials, Web sites, brochures, calendars, or whatever other purpose you have in mind.
I also will consider other types of assignments.
In addition, I take aerial stock photos and videos of New York's Southern Tier. You can browse through my SkyStock Portfolio if you're just looking for some pictures or videos of the Catskills and Hudson Valley regions.
The Back Story
I'm a semi-retired IT geek with a lifelong passion for aviation and photography. I've been taking pictures since I was nine years old, and have been involved in aviation in some capacity or another since the 1970s. I presently hold FAA certificates as both a Remote Pilot ("commercial drone pilot") and an Aircraft Mechanic.
At some point in my semi-retirement, it occurred to me that I could combine my lifelong interests in photography and aviation by buying a drone and using it for aerial photography and videography.
It also occurred to me that making money doing something I was doing for fun anyway had no down side; so that's what I did. I earned an FAA Part 107 certificate, bought a professional-quality drone, took out a commercial aviation insurance policy, and built this site.
For more information about my professional aerial imaging services, please contact me. I'm a one-man show, so please understand that it may be a few hours (rarely longer than that) before I get back to you. Thanks! | aerospace |

Chris Hadfield sings hit Bowie song
In first music video recorded in orbit
IN AN HISTORIC TRANSMISSION from the space station orbiting far above the earth, Cmdr. Chris Hadfield sang his version of the David Bowie hit song “Space Oddity” for viewers of BBC News on Monday evening.
It was just a few minutes before he relinquished command and returned to the Russian spaceport.
“… and before too long I know it’s time to go
A commander comes down back to us and goes
Cmdr. Chris Hadfield, guitar in hand, performs the first ever music video from space on Monday evening for a global audience watching the BBC News broadcast.
Ground control to Major Tom the time is near…,” Hadfield sang.
This was the first music video ever recorded and broadcast from space.
The Beeb reported that David Bowie said it was the most poignant rendition of the song ever.
As of about noon today almost 7,000,000 people had viewed the BBC report.
Watch the performance after the jump.
The crew of Expedition 35 to the International Space Station (ISS) returned safely to earth after 144 days onboard at 23:39 ET on May 13, according to NASA.
In a pre-flight interview published by NASA Hadfield explains how he began his odyssey into outer space.
“In the late ’60s I was seven, eight, nine years old, and what was going on in the news at that time that really excited a seven, eight, nine year old boy,” Hadfield said, “was the space race.”
Like millions of the rest of us, Hadfield watched with rapt attention in 1969 as the first human being (Neil Armstrong) took “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” on the surface of the moon.
“On July 20, 1969, like so many other people, I sat and looked at a bad, grainy little television and watched those first steps on the moon and then went outside with my family,” he told the NASA profiler.
“But really alone, [I] looked up at the moon and thought: that’s what I want to do when I grow up.”
Talk about lofty goals!
While aboard the space station, Hadfield, a Canadian, tweeted photographs that have been seen by more than 750,000 Twitter followers, helping him to become one of the most famous astronauts of all time, the BBC reported separately yesterday.
Let Cmdr. Hadfield sing to you in his own voice. Watch the BBC video below.
Thank you, Sir. You deserve a knighthood for what you have just accomplished. I hope Betty Windsor … err… The Queen… is watching her telly. | aerospace |

How to Choose the Best Drone Under 100 Dollars?
Just like a cell phone, a drone will, in the long run, come up short on juice. Indeed, even on the best models, flight times between charges battle to outperform 30 minutes. Obviously, you can generally convey an additional battery—yet on the off chance that you figure you may do this, make a point to incorporate the expense of extra batteries in the complete cost of the alternative that you’re thinking about.
When examining a posting, you may run over this term. Brushless engines cost more than brushed ones, yet in return, they offer calmer activity and have a more drawn out life expectancy, which means you won’t need to replace them as frequently.
If you need the most ideal quality film, the camera specs ought to be a major thought. So try to search for the photograph and video goals of the drone’s incorporated camera. Most not too bad size models—excluding toy rambles—presently accompany an inherent camera, however, some leave you the choice of joining your own. For more data about the highlights that let you catch high-res photographs and recordings, look at our manual for picking a computerized camera.
Starting to fly a drone can be precarious, so for tenderfoots, a few models offer headless mode. It implies that when you press the controller stick one way, the drone will move toward that path with respect to you, instead of in respect to where the joystick is pointing.
At the excellent part of the bargain showcase, you’ll discover models with incorporated GPS, which tells the machines where they are on the planet. This redesign enables your drone to discover its way back home—a component called, suitably, come back to-home or RTH—and improves its general dependability and navigational abilities. For instance, numerous drones with GPS can without much of a stretch drift in one spot.
Some drones furnished with GPS likewise offer this alternative: Follow-me mode gives your drone a chance to follow you over the ground or sea, so you can focus on your mountain biking or kite surfing while your elevated buddy follows along with chronicle your advancement. Certain drones do this superior to anything others, so check in with client audits to perceive how well the mode functions by and by.
As drones go up in value, you’ll see they begin having something many refer to as a coordinated gimbal. This help just keeps the camera consistent while it’s moving around in high breezes and raised heights. (Littler toy drones won’t have this connection, yet they don’t generally require it since they’re frequently flown inside or at lower heights.) If you need the best video and photographs, ensure the drone incorporates a gimbal.
A top-notch highlight on some top-notch rambles, hindrance evasion will cost you cash, however, may very well shield your drone from colliding with a tree. As with the tail me mode, a few drones do this superior to other people. So just as noticing whether a model has this capacity or not, check the audits online to check whether it really functions as publicized.
A drone’s range reveals to you how a long way from you it can move before you lose control of it. Increasingly costly expert level drones have more prominent reaches. Regardless of how far your drone can stray, shoulder as a top priority that you ought to keep your drone insight consistently in any case.

Virgin Galactic and the birth of commercial spaceflight. Another corporation, SpaceX, will now be running regular cargo missions to the International Space Station. There is growing interest not only in space tourism, but in the mining of asteroids and other bodies in space for valuable mineral resources. Yet the existing space treaties make all of space essentially "common land" that is owned by everyone and no one. Pressure is growing to allow the claiming and enclosure of this common land by commercial interests. It seems to me that this would be the ideal time for a discussion of the whole issue of private property and land rights, before the economic and no doubt military pressures on the treaty become impossible to resist. Have we learned nothing from the colonization of the New World, or before that from the enclosure of the Commons in England by sheep farming interests in the wake of the English Reformation? These are interesting historical examples of an analogous process; one that has had a bloody history and mixed results. Should we even be allowed off this planet before we have learned to manage it sustainably? And did the garden of Eden, entrusted to our care, include outer space or not?

It is an airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes and is the most produced commercial aeroplane in history.
Over its 51 years, a total of 368 aviation accidents and incidents have occurred - including 184 hull losses resulting in over 5000 fatalities. In 2018, the crashes of Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines 302 resulted in the grounding of Boeing 737 Max jets worldwide.
Boeing, the US aerospace manufacturer, has reported its biggest quarterly loss ever due to the prolonged grounding of 737 Max jets. If there is further delay, Boeing has warned that it might have to reduce further or temporarily shut down production.
CEO of Boeing, Dennis Muilenburg, stated that the company planned to boost its production rate gradually to 57 a month in 2020 and any slippage in its estimated timing for a return to service could derail those plans.
Before the crash, a faulty sensor in Lion Air 610 reported an imminent danger of aerodynamic stalling. The false report prompted an automated system known as the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS). MCAS is activated without the pilot's input and is designed to take readings from two sensors to determine how much the jet's nose is pointing up or down relative to oncoming airflow. If it detects that the aircraft is pointing up at a dangerous angle, it automatically adopts a corrective measure to push down the nose of the plane thereby preventing the aircraft from stalling.
In Lion Air 610, with the information from the report, the system tried to automatically pitch the jet's nose down so that it could gain enough speed to fly safely.
But Max jets are designed in such a way that the engines are larger, in order to increase fuel efficiency and they are positioned higher up on the plane's wings which has caused the jet's nose to pitch skyward. To compensate this Boeing added the MCAS system. Not only does Boeing have to rework the "MCAS" anti-stall system implicated in the two crashes, but test pilots found another problem with the flight control system. The CEO said the company continued to work on software changes and expected to submit its "final certification package" to the Federal Aviation Administration.
Following the grounding, Middle East's largest 737 Max customer, Flydubai with 251 orders and 14 already in its fleet, has cancelled 17% of its flying schedule. Oman Air, the national carrier of the Sultanate of Oman, has five MAX jets parked and orders for 25 more have recently been cancelled. Ryanair Holdings PLC, Europe's largest budget airline, said it expects a hit to its 2019 profits, and halved its summer 2020 passenger growth forecast to 3%.
"There is starting to be an impact on the winter schedules and 2020 plans," said Brendan Sobie, chief analyst at CAPA-Centre for Aviation in Singapore. That is "likely to be much more significant than what we have seen so far given the size of the [MAX] fleet wasn't that huge at the time of the grounding in March."
- It is important to have a constructive debate about what degree of automation is safest for aeroplanes - and how much of control human pilots must maintain in an environment when aeroplanes have been loaded with electronics.
- Out of the nearly 43000 new aircraft that Boeing plans to sell in the next twenty years, Chinese airlines account for more than 20%.
- The software problem - which in worst-case scenario could result in a full grounding and halt of deliveries of the 737 Max 8, could cost Boeing about $5 billion or 5 per cent of the company's annual revenue within two months.
- The five-month grounding has led to cancellations during peak travel periods. Passengers have to pay higher fares due to strong demand and constrained capacity. The airlines are also using less fuel-efficient flights and the launching of new international is going to be on hold.
- There is an indefinite halt to commercial aircraft ordered which has led to a backlog of 4415 unfilled orders. It is likely that the costs incurred to deal with grounding, as well as compensation payments to victims families from both crashes is going to take a toll on the company.
- We feel that to regain passenger confidence after a series of early safety issues, one option could be a conversion of the existing fleet to air freight carriers.

Our base at Damyns Hall Aerodrome comprises of around 140 acres of largely undeveloped land providing an unspoiled rural setting less than 10 miles from Central London. It is increasingly being used to provide facilities for film work, both for location shoots and for stunt creation. The Aerodrome is perfect for London based aerial filming and also has the facilities to accommodate long term film sets.
Aerobatic Tactics helicopter display pilot Julian Spencer and Tony Richards, Aerobatic Tactics chief pilot, first met at Headcorn Aerodrome in the early 90’s and became good friends.
Julian was working in the film industry as a stunt man, Tony had flown for the TV cameras on a number of occasions, they often met at the airfield and chatted about the way films with aircraft often relied too much on computer generated graphics and unrealistic looking models. They came to the conclusion it may be because production companies didn’t know what could be achieved with the right aircraft, pilots, and maybe more importantly, coordinator to translate the directors ideas into reality.
It was a while until they were able to put their thoughts into action and Julian and Tony worked together for the first time on the set of Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (released 2004) with Julian coordinating and Tony flying for the aerial unit. Julian was able to communicate clearly between all involved and the flying shots were achieved in budget and on time.
Since Bridget Jones Tony and Julian have worked on several projects. Together they have built a reputation for getting the job done with the minimum fuss.
As Tony had previously flown Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney from Only Fools and Horses) in a Tiger Moth for the making of a WH Smith advert in the late 90’s he was keen to accept the offer of a filming job flying the Tiger Moth for David Jason’s documentary: Battle of Britain. As well as flying in a two seat Spitfire for the documentary David spent a day at Headcorn Aerodrome with Tiger Moth G-AMTF ("The Inheritance"). The programme which aired on ITV during September 2010 features air to air shots of the Tiger flown by Tony as well as ground shots of David Jason goggles in hand climbing aboard. | aerospace |

https://report.flughafen-zuerich.ch/2019/ar/en/aviation-noise/ | 2024-04-17T08:36:13 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00305.warc.gz | 0.953478 | 908 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__24846828 | en | The impact of flight operations on the locality is a key concern for Flughafen Zürich AG. Our Noise Management department analyses and provides transparent reports on the noise situation.
Flughafen Zürich AG operates a network of 14 noise monitoring stations at fixed locations near departure and arrival routes. The data collected are published monthly in a noise bulletin.
Compared with the previous year, noise exposure remained stable during daytime at all monitoring stations. While the monitoring stations to the west (1 and 2) recorded an increase during the first night hour, those to the south (6, 12 and 13) registered a slight decrease in aircraft noise levels during the first and second night hours. At all other measuring points, aircraft noise exposure remained on a par with the previous year the first two night hours.
Changes in exposure to aircraft noise are mainly related to the allocation of flight movements to specific take-off and approach routes.
Usage of landing and take-off routes in 2019 (in % of total traffic). Routes with fewer than 50 flight movements per year are not shown.
NIGHT FLIGHTS AND SPECIAL AUTHORISATIONS
Residents often perceive night-time flights to be particularly disturbing. In 2019, night flights (between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.) accounted for 4.8% (2018: 5.0%) of all flight movements. Special authorisations were issued for a total of 272 flights (2018: 312) during the night-time curfew period (11.30 p.m. to 6 a.m.). Such night flights are only authorised when there are justifiable grounds (see noise statistics).
FLIGHT PATH MONITORING
The Noise Management department monitors all departures from Zurich Airport for adherence to the prescribed flight paths. These are mandatory during daytime up to an altitude of 5,000 feet above sea level and at night up to flight level 80 (approximately 8,000 feet). In 2019, 136 (2018: 178) investigations were triggered and 29 (2018: 25) interviews with chief pilots were conducted. As in the previous year, the most frequent reason for deviations from the prescribed flight paths were specific instructions from air traffic control.
All jet aircraft are assigned to one of five noise categories, each of which has a different charge rate for take-off and landing. This gives airlines a financial incentive to operate the quietest possible aircraft on their Zurich routes. In addition, the rates for night-time flights vary according to noise category and the specific take-off or landing time. In 2019, at around 53% (2018: 54%), noise category 4 accounted for the highest percentage of flights during the night (10 p.m.–6 a.m.).
New noise charges for the shoulder periods and at night came into force at Zurich Airport on 11 September 2019. These are intended to ensure efficient – and consequently more punctual – handling of air traffic during the evening and so reduce the number of flights after 11 p.m.
USE OF THE NOISE PROTECTION HANGAR
In 2019, a total of 487 aircraft engine tests (2018: 567) were performed in the noise protection hangar. The majority (88%) of engine tests carried out at night were for short-haul and medium-haul aircraft. Most aircraft engine tests for long-haul aircraft such as the A343, A333 and B777 and all other aircraft types were performed during the day.
The permitted noise level was exceeded three times in 2019. This is significantly less than the 25 instances permitted per year in accordance with the operating regulations. According to figures provided by the aircraft maintenance companies, 973 additional idle tests were performed on the apron and on the stands. A total of 690 idle tests were carried out during the day between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., and 283 were run at night between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Communication with local residents
Communicating with people in neighbouring communities is important to Flughafen Zürich AG. Local residents affected by aircraft noise can call or e-mail Flughafen Zürich AG directly with questions or complaints and staff from the Noise Management department will respond to specific questions. In 2019, landings on runway 34 constituted the most frequent cause for complaint. The number of complaints and queries received was around 10% higher than the previous year. | aerospace |

| 60-03451 (originally 60-3451), Boeing build number B-010, was a HC-1B helicopter. The U.S. Army acceptance date was 8 December 1962. The administrative strike date was 11 April 1975. 60-03451 accumulated 1,619.0 aircraft hours.
60-03451 was one of the first production configured aircraft, manufactured as a result of expansion of contract AF33(600)39452 to include an additional five HC-1B production aircraft (60-03448, 60-03449, 60-03450, 60-03451, 60-03452).
After production, 60-03451 was bailed to the U.S. Army for Phase F testing. Following completion of those tests, 60-03451 was reallocated for service use and assigned to an unknown unit.
In July 1962, the Department of Defense redesignated all U.S. military aircraft to a new system. All HC-1B helicopters became CH-47A. 60-03451 received the designation as a JCH-47A, where the J stood for Joint, as a result of U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army cooperation in developing the aircraft.
At some point, 60-03451 was transferred to the Army Aviation Museum, located at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
As of 6 January 2011, this aircraft was one of the three surviving, although non-operational, CH-47A helicopters (60-03451, 61-02408, 64-13149 ("Guns-A-Go-Go")) located within the continental United States, and one of two surviving CH-47A model helicopters with dual wheels on the aft landing gear.
As of today, the last known location of 60-03451 is Fort Rucker, Alabama.
Aircraft status: Museum exhibit.
|In speaking about the last flight of 60-03451, Colonel Kenneth C. Kleine, retired, reported: "I was fortunate enough to have flown 60-03451 from Stockton to Fort Rucker on its last flight. When we landed at Guthrie Field, next to the museum, the aircraft was running like a top. No problems to even write up."|

The forms and colours seen in the increasingly brilliant pictures we receive from our telescopes, satellites, astronauts and rovers, evoke moods and emotions that are only heightened by the use of music.
Music is a soundtrack to the past, present and future – a means of reliving history but also bringing tomorrow into today. For decades, musicians have composed music inspired by the stars and planets – a theme with infinite creative possibilities.
In 2012, The Initiative for Interstellar Studies (i4is) was founded. Its mission is to achieve ‘starships in our lifetime’; working towards the achievement of interstellar flight, through knowledge to the stars. Advocates of the creative arts, one of the Initiative’s first actions was to recruit a roster of artists, and I was invited on board as honorary musician (and later artist!).
To date, I have composed and independently released five albums in association with i4is. At the core of each album is a concept that reflects the i4is mission statement and its goals, but that also explore themes of space flight and science fiction; ultimately exploring our future journeys beyond the stars.
Science fiction is unquestionably a major influence and inspiration to everyone working within i4is and the space industry in general. It is thanks to the writings of Clarke and Asimov, etc, that we strive to build starships and travel beyond further into space.
Infinity of Space (2017)… music for an interstellar voyage, questioning what we may encounter, out beyond the stars.
Panorama (2014)… a long and cinematic album with a heavier emphasis on atmosphere and texture. The central theme on Panorama is the arrival on, and exploration of alien worlds.
Beyond the Boundary (2013)… composed to tie-in with the Initiative’s book of the same name, this album takes the listener on a lone journey into the deepest, darkest depths of unchartered space.
Future Worlds Redux (2014)… a bombastic symphonic reinterpretation of several tracks from Future Worlds, plus one new composition.
Future Worlds (2013)… taking influence from a wealth of classic science fiction literature, each track on Future Worlds depicts a different scenario, from the self-destruction of our Earth to interstellar flight and space exploration and colonisation. | aerospace |

While drones were first developed for military and warfare purposes, today its range of applications have increased exponentially; from drone racing to photography and videography, aiding in search and rescue operations, and even monitoring climate change. In fact, the Singapore Government is on track to have electric drone taxi services by 2023! .
Because of its portability, stability, and ability to produce high resolution images, it is also often used in research or for scientific surveys. Here at Hydrobiology Singapore, drones are often used during fieldwork, mostly to capture changes in an environment. With a built-in high spatial resolution camera and video capabilities, drones make large-scale surveys easier, as they help us access areas that are difficult to get to on foot.
We have high hopes that drone technology will continue improving – who knows, perhaps one day we will be able to swap out remote controllers for voice activation!
If you are around the area, don’t be shy to pop in for a short chat about drones with us, and we’d be happy to share more!

The focus is on internal communication between air traffic controllers and the way they interact with the physical device they use: the flight progress strip.
There are around 27,000 flight movements in German airspace every day. Monitoring these is the responsibility of the air traffic controllers who work for German Air Navigation Services. Three control systems are used in Germany: a radar system with direct label control, a paperless strip system, and an older system using paper strips. Each system has particular advantages, but the trend is more and more towards digitalisation. Physical flight progress strips are being phased out, and controllers’ work is being made easier with an increasing number of digital aids. So how can you design an air traffic controller workplace so that the benefits of existing systems are united, air traffic control work is assisted in the best possible way, and safety is improved at the same time.
We worked with air traffic controllers to conduct a comprehensive user survey in air traffic control centres and get qualitative findings about what they need
The flight progress strip is, alongside the radar screen and communication devices, the most important tool used by any air traffic controller. It contains the most important information about each flight.
Collaborative work is inescapable for air traffic controllers, since their work is done in teams of two. Unlike a paperless strip system, a paper strip system supports teamwork and facilitates intuitive, safe working methods. However, a strong digital system which relieves users of thinking processes, reduces their working expertise over time, and gives them the feeling that their contribution is getting less important. The new concept combines the benefits of the digital system’s safety with the analogue system.
TESS takes a new approach to combining the analogue flight progress strip with a digital working environment. At the heart of this concept for a newly designed air traffic controller workplace is internal communication between air traffic controllers, and physical interaction with the flight progress strip. This consists of a sturdy outer casing and a coloured E-Ink display. This display combines some of the benefits of paper, such as the fact that you can write on it and read it easily, with digitally displayed data. All of the information and communication systems are combined with the necessary work space on acurved screen. This means that interactions that can be done in conjunction with updating the system are made possible.
TESS is a new kind of concept for a physical, ergonomic and concentration-enhancing air traffic controller workplace.

Flight Lieutenant David Carroll works within the Australian Defence Force C-17 Acquisition Project, which has recently delivered four new RAAF C-17 Heavy Airlift Aircraft to the Air Force.
As part of this acquisition, David has applied his engineering knowledge to assess the crash protection attributes of the C-17. This is now a mandatory step in any new fleet acquisition – following the Sea King accident in Sumatra, ADF issued a ‘Crash Protection’ policy to minimise casualties in future aircraft accidents.
David’s work began with a detailed assessment of the C-17 Globemaster III design to determine how well it meets the crash protection standards issued by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). These standards are used in the design of Commercial airliners.
David collated and analysed a considerable quantity of C-17 design documents relevant to over 100 FAA regulations, then detailed how the C-17 design satisfies each of the regulations.
There is still some work to be done – the next step will be to physically inspect a C-17 aircraft during a scheduled servicing. At this stage, David will complete a crash protection survey, which will be used to compare the C-17 to other aircraft. Should the C-17 not meet the latest standards, an analysis will be performed to determine the practicality of modifying the aircraft to meet those standards.
David has been instrumental in managing this considerable engineering task, in a very short period of time, to improve the crash protection capacity of aerospace vehicles.

Tim Peake was one of 8,413 contenders for the latest mission to the International Space Station. Everyone who was shortlisted had already proved themselves academically and physically so he had to push himself and do something special to stand out from the crowd. The screening process that followed tested Tim’s intelligence, his personality and his memory. To prove himself, he had to learn about space engineering, to speak Russian, and to move around safely in zero gravity - amongst a zillion other things.
It is clear that Tim knew what his goal was and that he was hell bent on achieving it. No amount of challenge or competition was going to stand in his way. This focus and determination undoubtedly played a huge part in his ultimate success. When we interviewed Mike Cullen, Former Global Managing Partner for Talent at EY, we discovered that if you are to get results, you must build a high performance culture and recruit high performance individuals. Individuals will excel if they are stretched to the edge of their ability, constantly challenged and motivated to set new and demanding goals.
Lawyers and accountants who follow Tim’s example and who relentlessly push the boundaries, will achieve great results. Furthermore, firms that recruit these individuals will see a rise in company profits, a reduction in staff turnover and a strong brand image. As the professional services industry becomes increasingly competitive, you have to go above and beyond to stand out; just as Tim did to beat his 8,412 competitors…
The astronaut Tim Peake is to be reunited with his family today, Father’s Day, after a textbook landing by the Soyuz spacecraft that returned him to Earth after six months on the International Space Station. Peake, and fellow astronauts Tim Kopra, from Nasa, and Yuri Malenchenko, the Russian Soyuz commander, landed on the steppes of Kazakhstan at 10:15am yesterday after a scorching 17,000mph descent that saw the capsule’s exterior reach temperatures of 1,600C. The astronauts were also exposed to deceleration forces equivalent to five times Earth’s gravity — after 186 days of experiencing no gravity at all. | aerospace |

At present, it is common for people to use satellites for communication, reconnaissance, navigation and meteorological observation.
1. Why use satellite communication?
We know that microwave communication adopts relay method to realize long-distance communication by establishing relay station. However, this approach also has major drawbacks. Because there are places on earth where it is impossible to build a relay station. For example, the distance from Beijing, China to New York, USA is tens of thousands of kilometers, separated by the turbulent Pacific Ocean. If you build a relay station every 40 to 50 kilometers, you have to build more than 200 stations at sea, which is impossible.
The idea of using satellites for communication was first proposed by British scientist and prophet Clark. In February 1945, Clark published a scientific prediction paper "Extraterrestrial Relay Stations". He proposed to use artificial earth satellites as relay stations for transmitting microwave information, and put the satellites in a synchronous orbit about 36,000 kilometers above the equator. In this way, the microwaves relayed by the relay station on a satellite can cover about one-third of the earth's surface. If three equidistant synchronous satellites are deployed, global satellite communication can be achieved.
2. Satellite communication network covers the world
On April 6, 1965, the first communications satellite was successfully launched. Since then, human beings have truly established a "relay station" in the sky.
Satellite communication is that a ground station transmits a signal to a satellite, which is processed by satellite amplification, frequency conversion, etc., and then forwarded to another ground station.
Generally speaking, after this "jump" of the satellite, the farthest communication distance can reach 13,000 kilometers, and three "jumps" can circle the earth. Communication satellites are condescending, so they are not limited by any terrain conditions, even in deserts, mountains, oceans and islands, etc., as long as there is a "small ground base station" with a diameter of a few tenths of a meter, it can communicate, and the cost of communication is related to communication. Distance doesn't matter.
Some people have calculated that the microwave signal emitted from a satellite can cover 40% of the earth's area, which is equivalent to setting up more than 300 microwave relay stations on the ground. In the satellite coverage area, any two or more points can realize VSAT communication.
The capacity of satellite communication is also astonishingly large. A communication satellite can accommodate more than 60,000 people to make transoceanic calls at the same time, and can carry out many TV communications, as well as data, text, images and mobile communications.

The 70 ton capacity overhead electric travelling crane, built by Whiting Corporation, is deployed at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility, located on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, from where the Antares expendable launch system delivers payloads of up to 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) to the International Space Station.
The 240,000 kg Antares – which succeeds the space shuttle – made its first commercial resupply services (CRS) mission this year.
The Wallops Island facility’s 90-foot (27.43 m) span main crane is located in its horizontal integration area, where the cargo rocket is assembled on its side, prior to being rolled outside, positioned vertically and launched.
The delicate task of handling the 40.5m rocket called on the extensive crane manufacturing experience of Whiting Corporation, which manufacture lifting systems extensively for applications where safety and reliability are critical, including the nuclear power and energy infrastructure industries as well as public transit authorities, rail maintenance and automotive and general manufacturing.
The Wallop Island crane – which also incorporates a supplementary 50-ton assembly crane –was designed and built to comply with NASA Critical Lift Standard 8719.9, which spells out NASA’s goal for achieving “best class” status as an organization focused on preventing mishaps.
“Given the risks associated with lifting and transporting rockets, we manufactured the crane to the relevant Overhead Crane Standards and Critical Lift Standards, which are very detailed and have stringent manufacturing, document, quality control, and safety standards. These standards are significantly above typical commercial quality, which is a type of equipment Whiting excels at providing,” said Alan Horgan, Supervisor, Crane Product Group, Whiting Corporation.
Whiting Corporation is a member of the Crane Manufacturers Association of America, which is recognized as one of the world’s leading advocates for the safe application and operation of overhead traveling crane equipment and related products. It provides engineering specifications recognized throughout the USA as the preferred design standard for overhead traveling cranes, integrated crane systems, and crane components.
Areas of crane design and manufacturing of particular importance in the Antares project included:
- AWS welding inspections on critical load path welds
- Material Certifications
- Precision microspeed capabilities with state-of-the art Vector and VFD technologies
- Tandem operation from one radio control between two different capacity cranes, either 70 ton or 50 ton or both
- Clean room considerations, including drip pans and debris shields
- Design calculations and report signed by Professional Engineer
- FMEA (Failure Modes Effect Analysis), and safety analysis report
- Considerations to obviate sparking concerns, including use of grounding straps during critical operations when handling explosive materials
- Plus many other reliability and maintainability considerations.
“A major advantage Whiting offered for this project was its depth of experience with US industry, where safety and reliability are critical,” said Mr Horgan. “Whiting cranes and materials handling systems are already deployed in defence and nuclear areas, where we have achieved ISO and nuclear –specific certifications. | aerospace |

The electric-powered and locally emission-free flying devices known as drones are coming under the magnifying glass of both companies and researchers.
In order to ensure efficient, safe and professional operations, several major challenges need to be addressed. These include, for example, air navigation services for low-level airspace, control of flights when out of visual line of sight, and the possibility of performing several tasks with a single flight. These and many other challenges are being tackled by the Drolo project, which promises to be an undertaking of international significance.
The Drolo project will examine, develop and pilot solutions for traffic management in lower airspace, 5G connections and the utilisation of printed and embedded electronics. The project will test out smart drone services for use in ports, the use of drones in the vicinity of an airport, a drone weather service and the suitability of hydrogen as an energy source for drones. The project will also develop business models for Finnish drone operators from an export perspective. For example, performing several jobs or multiple customers during the same flight improves the cost-effectiveness of drones. The project will involve setting up Finland’s first drone air traffic control test area in the Oulu region. The project’s partners include a number of key drone-related Finnish commercial and research actors. The project will create an ecosystem that will generate innovations and new drone-related business opportunities.

Very professional and skillful staff gets you going (or flying) as fast as possible and are ready to solve any doubt you have, and the fleet is kept in top shape. Apart from that, what better than to fly in SoCal’s year-round excellent weather? Put all that together and learning to fly in AAA becomes really fun! I definitely recommend AAA for anyone looking to pursue a career as a pilot.Luis Romero,
At AAA I received the best training and treatment, the facilities are located in Gillespie Field airport, a nice place with good weather and surrounded by the San Diego International airport airspace which gave me a great opportunity to develop professional pilot skills and good communications with the air traffic controllers. The school staff always cared for my needs as a student such as housing and transportation to the school. The instructors are very experienced and professional, and they always were concerned for my flight training progress, they allowed me to fly the airplane solo in Cross country flights to many great places in the U.S helping me to develop good airmanship.
I would like to thank them all because I got very confident with multi engine and instrument flying skills and they prepared me very well , so the checkrides were a piece of cake! . I completed my commercial flight training and recently passed my type rating check at simuflite in Dallas and I am currently flying a gulfstream as a corporate pilot. Thank you AAA for some of my best memories of my life!Frank Delgadillo,
Hello my name is Julien Cazaux i’m an Airbus A320 First Officer. I have start my Pilot Training in France with the ATPL Theoretical, then I had the chance to go to American Aviation Training Academy to do all my FAA Licenses ( PPL, IR, CPL SE, CPL ME), and some building hours. The Training here have a very good quality and I was so glad to have choose AAA to do my licenses. This training center welcomes you as a part of the family, and you are not just a number like in some others training center. There you are based in San Diego California, where you can enjoy a really amazing weather who can allow you to fly all the time, all year long.
This experience is still one of the best memories of my life. Then I came back to France did my licenses conversion, and A320 type rating. Now I’m flying the A320 and I can just say that I highly recommend American Aviation Academy in your flight path…Happy Landings !Julien Cazaux, Pilot | aerospace |

Alloy Wire International (AWI) is heading to Farnborough International Airshow next week, with its largest ever range of high temperature nickel alloys.
The company, which enjoyed a 20% surge in sales in 2017, is looking to showcase its Nimonic, Inconel, Waspaloy, Rene 41, Phynox (UNS R30003) and titanium material to manufacturers looking for high quality and reliable delivery for use across the aerospace sector where the need for corrosion resistant wire and bar is high.
AWI’s new campaign – ‘Certainty in an Uncertain World’ – is also being promoted, highlighting the firm’s ability to ‘make to order’ in just 3 weeks and its huge stock range that now exceeds 200 tonnes of more than 60 different alloys.
“The aerospace sector represents a huge opportunity for us, with spring manufacturers using our wire to produce compression springs, tensions springs, torsion springs and formed parts for use in critically demanding environments like aircraft engines – where other wire just does not perform under such conditions,” explained Angus Hogarth, Sales Director at Alloy Wire.
“We also offer shaped wire from square to complicated trapezoidal, precision Inconel flat wire for high temperature sealing, aircraft grade locking wire (DTD 189A) for nuts and bolts and straight bars for CNC turned aerospace parts.”
He went on to add: “What we do really well is that we can produce any wire size between 21mm to 0.025mm to close tolerances. There has also been a lot of demand for wire that is certified to an increasing number of aerospace specifications, or produced to the customer’s own special material properties.”
Operating across 55 countries worldwide, Alloy Wire has held the AS9100 Aerospace & Defence quality accreditation for over five years.
All of its 60 different High Performance alloys are DFARS and EU compliant and can be supplied in quantities from 3 metres to 3 tonnes.
AWI completes all wire testing on site and this includes heat treating of age hardenable aerospace alloys to confirm mechanical properties achievable.

The old 737 plane variant has supposedly sunk into the Java Sea because both black boxes of the plane have been found again.
Boeing 737 Sequence of Plane Crash
In the last few years, following the accident of two MAX 737 planes killing 346 passengers, Boeing has been under immense scrutiny. The first accident was Lion Air 610 and the second happened in March 2019, while the first was Ethiopian Airlines 302.
Both the MAX 737 Boeing aircraft have been grounded around the world for almost 20 months since these accidents, contributing to an immense boeing turnover. The latest crash in the Indonesian airspace involving the Sriwijaya Air737 aircraft was the second crash after the crash.
Keep going to the mountain
Just as the condition in Boeing’s embattled 737 MAX plane changed, the latest event could delay its rehabilitation again. In the last few months, we have continually changed as many airlines worldwide are preparing to fly by Boeing’s 737 again. The organization was also awarded new orders from a better viewpoint.
The Sriwijaya air crash took place only after NYSE: BA had decided to pay $2.5 billion in damages to dismiss the allegations against US security officials over the construction of its 737 MAX aircraft. Sriwijaya Air Crash The BBC’s report tells the families of the 346 victims who have been killed in the air tragedies over 500 million dollars.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) could re-examine the 737-productive line after the aircraft had received clearance in November 2020 to revert to America following 20 months of grounding due to a recent collapse involving Boeing’s 737.
The risk that Boeing 737 MAX and other versions would be scrapped and forthcoming orders may be seriously affected as a result of the recent air crash.

They have also been called planetoids, especially the larger ones. These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids. Thus the term asteroid has come increasingly to refer specifically to the small bodies of the inner Solar System out to the orbit of Jupiter. They are grouped with the outer bodies—centaurs, Neptune trojans, and trans-Neptunian objects—as minor planets, which is the term preferred in astronomical circles.In this article the term "asteroid" refers to the minor planets of the inner Solar System.
There are millions of asteroids, many thought to be the shattered remnants of planetesimals, bodies within the young Sun's solar nebula that never grew large enough to becomeplanets. The large majority of known asteroids orbit in the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter or co-orbital with Jupiter (the Jupiter Trojans). However, other orbital families exist with significant populations, including the near-Earth asteroids. Individual asteroids are classified by their characteristic spectra, with the majority falling into three main groups: C-type, S-type, and M-type. These were named after and are generally identified with carbon-rich, stony, and metallic compositions, respectively.
Only one asteroid, 4 Vesta, which has a relatively reflective surface, is normally visible to the naked eye, and this only in very dark skies when it is favorably positioned. Rarely, small asteroids passing close to Earth may be naked-eye visible for a short time. | aerospace |

Here’s another scientific “anomaly” for which we can’t expect a straight answer. While it is apparently “puzzling scientists” we’re no doubt given hardly any information on what’s going on in the overt and covert space programs.
So what do you expect us to think when we read science reports like this:
“Mysterious ‘night shining’ or noctilucent clouds are beautiful to behold, and this stunning image offers an unusual view of these clouds as seen by astronauts on board the International Space Station. Also called polar mesospheric clouds, these clouds are puzzling scientists with their recent dramatic changes. They used to be considered rare, but now the clouds are growing brighter, are seen more frequently, are visible at lower and lower latitudes than ever before, and sometimes they are even appearing during the day.
There is quite a bit of debate for the cause of noctilucent clouds. Dust from meteors, global warming, and rocket exhaust have all been tagged as contributors, but the latest research suggests that changes in atmospheric gas composition or temperature has caused the clouds to become brighter over time.” Source
Here’s the video from the International Space Station showing a time lapse shot of these “clouds”. Notice the entire atmosphere is incandescent due to the chemtrail bombardment over the years. Is it any wonder these particles would also make it to higher altitudes?..never mind the possibility that the mad scientists are spraying at even higher altitudes?
Meet CARE - the Charged Aerosol Release Experiment(s)
Besides the ongoing toxic chemtrail program, we also know there have been experiments spraying metallic particles in the way upper atmosphere under the name of the Cloud of CARE, some type of experimental aerosol dispersal supposedly to test atmospheric conditions.

Night Time Artificial Cloud Study Using NASA Sounding Rocket
“A rocket experiment that may shed light on the highest clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere was conducted from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on September 19, 2009. The experiment was launched on a NASA Black Brant XII Sounding Rocket.
The Charged Aerosol Release Experiment (CARE) was conducted by the Naval Research Laboratory and the Department of Defense Space Test Program using a NASA four-stage Black Brant XII suborbital sounding rocket. Using ground based instruments and the STP/NRL STPSat-1 spacecraft, scientists will study an artificial noctilucent cloud formed by the exhaust particles of the rocket’s fourth stage at about 173 miles altitude.
Data collected during the experiment will provide insight into the formation, evolution, and properties of noctilucent clouds, which are typically observed naturally at high latitudes. In addition to the understanding of noctilucent clouds, scientists will use the experiment to validate and develop simulation models that predict the distribution of dust particles from rocket motors in the upper atmosphere.
Natural noctilucent clouds, also known as polar mesospheric clouds, are found in the upper atmosphere as spectacular displays that are most easily seen just after sunset. The clouds are the highest clouds in Earth’s atmosphere, located in the mesosphere around 50 miles altitude.
They are normally too faint to be seen with the naked eye and are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the Earth’s surface is in darkness.” Source
Sound Fishy Enough to You?
I personally don’t put anything past these insane bastards. That they’d spray that far out to keep the sun’s healing rays from hitting earth under the all encompassing pretense of global warming, a lie that even fooled their own crowd, is no surprise at all.
At the least, the overdose of chemtrails around the world could certainly have this effect. Something is off and someone knows why.
I don’t know. I’m no scientist or super-duper insider. I just know how to smell a rat in this sci-fi cover up on the planet earth we’re living on. Conveniently, just a few are in charge. Especially in the ministry of information.

Airbus to hire 6,000 people worldwide this year
Airbus has announced its intention to recruit around 6,000 new employees worldwide during 2022.
With the aerospace industry showing strong signs of recovery post-Covid, it is expected that about a quarter of the planned intake will focus on acquiring the new skills to support the company’s long-term projects and ambition, notably in the fields of decarbonisation, digital transformation and cyber technology.
A third of the total recruitment will be allocated to young graduates. Further information on the regional breakdown of the new roles, and in which division, is expected from the middle of February onwards.
Airbus recently confirmed it delivered 611 commercial aircraft to 88 customers in 2021 – the majority of the wings on Airbus commercial aircraft are designed and built at Broughton in Wales.
Thierry Baril, Airbus chief human resources & workplace officer, said: “Airbus has demonstrated resilience throughout the Covid crisis, and has laid the foundations for a bold future for sustainable aviation. This can only be achieved by acquiring the right talents in the various domains of expertise that will help us grow our activities as we come out of the crisis, while preparing the long-term transformation of the company.
“Following this initial wave of recruitment, which will take place worldwide and across all our businesses, the number of external hires will be reassessed before mid-year 2022 and we will adjust our needs accordingly. Not only will we look at acquiring the new skills that Airbus needs in the post-Covid world, but we will also do our utmost to reinforce diversity across the company, fostering a safe and inclusive culture reinforcing Team Airbus to be ready to pioneer sustainable aerospace.”

Although the footballer was not on the plane at the time, it is reported that the landing gear got obliterated directly upon impact with the runway.
Once news of the incident emerged amongst airport officials, the runway was immediately shut. The Portuguese star often rents his plane out to private companies- which was the case this evening.
A statement said:
“Cristiano Ronaldo, his family or friends were not on the plane. The incident had no major consequences.”
This event comes on the same day as the release of FIFA 17. Of course, Twitter had something to say:
Ronaldo's Private Plane Makes crash landing at Barcelona Airport. Thank God He and his family is save 😢🙏

The idea at issue is moral corruption not the Shuttle itself. The Shuttle program is the result of morally corrupt scientists and politicians. As a child reader of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics and a natural fixer upper, I knew the shuttle was a mess when I saw it on the launch pad the first time.
I was in graduate school, and I dearly hoped for its success. But I was shocked. The pictures I had seen about five years earlier in the physics department did not hint at the contraption we behold today. The pictures showed just the shuttle—a beautiful, graceful spacecraft as in the delightful 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Immediately I knew two fundamental problems: the solid rocket boosters and the external fuel tank. This was no spacecraft but a device jury-rigged to cut costs. I was appalled. Yes I had read about how enormously powerful the Shuttle’s engines were pound for pound with a Saturn V’s engines. So what I thought; if they could not do a Saturn V’s job, who cares? I am not an engineer, but I do fix things; and this thing was not fixable. But I bought into the enthusiasm based on our sterling record of space exploration that had resulted in only three deaths after over 25 years of spaceflight.
So we ended up with the two obvious flaws killing a score of human beings: the solid rocket boosters and the external fuel tank, killing more astronauts per flight than all previous flights over the previous 25-year period. Is it any wonder the last flight had the astronauts cutting pieces off the shuttle so it could return safely?
And why are they sending PhD’s instead of pilots and technicians? A PhD cannot run an experiment any better than a talented technician. You do not put a college graduate in charge of a helicopter when a warrant officer is sufficient. Why are they sending droves of PhD’s up at one time in a grotesque vehicle?
The answer is we are willing to sign on to any project as long as it earns a lot of money or fame. I would not sign on to the Shuttle program in any capacity if I were offered twice what I am earning now. Am I a saint? No, I am just someone with a simple conscience.
All the Best, | aerospace |

In his introduction, the Director- General recalled that the UK is an important member of ESA, with many strengths – on the science side, the engineering side and the project management side. ESA needs this excellence, he said. He added that ESA in turn can provide an avenue for the UK to implement its national priorities. ESA is also a gateway to the wider world because it is probably the space agency with most interactions, through projects and programmes, with other nations.
ESA is active across all aspects of space. That, he said, is unusual: many space agencies are not. It has programmes in space science, human and robotic exploration, navigation, Earth observation, telecommunications, safety and security. It is also engaged on operational programmes, such as the development of launchers. This is, he said, unique and very useful for the achievement of member state priorities.
The overall budget for ESA is around €6.5 billion, 24% of it is coming from the European Commission and the rest from member countries (the UK contributes 9.2% of the total). One of its principles is that almost all the money should go back to the supply chain and research institutions in the member states. That means the majority of the money goes back to the countries to build up programmes and activities in cooperation with other countries and other industries.
Among recent successful projects is the Solar Orbiter. It was launched in 2020, with strong UK participation and leadership. It is one of the most complex satellites exploring the sun, flying closer to it than any previous mission, in order to understand the dynamics and properties of our star. The Plato (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) mission will be launched in 2026, looking at habitable planets in the universe, planets that have similar conditions to the Earth’s – the so-called Goldilocks zone – where there is appropriate temperature variation, light levels that are favourable to life, and other characteristics which may exist in other solar systems.
He spoke about Agenda 20251 which outlines ESA priorities for the next few years. The starting point is that, in matters concerning space, it is important to take a long-term view. Space developments are not delivered in one year or the next. So what is the world likely to look like in, say, 2035? In the Director-General’s view, space is one of the tools that will get us there. The Agenda sets out some of the immediate steps necessary in order to get there. Five priorities with targets for 2025 are listed: commercialisation; safety and security; programme challenges; ESA transformation; and ESA-US relations.
He recalled that there is a great deal of media coverage of space, but much of it emanates from the USA or China and not from Europe. And that, he said, bothered him. The reason is that space in these countries is developing very quickly, because of investment from both the private sector and also the government side: huge investments are being made to support space programmes. Individuals like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are putting money into space, as are many Silicon Valley companies.
China is rapidly building a space capability, at the same level as the one in Europe, while the USA has capabilities that exceed those of Europe.
Enabling our society
Space is used in many aspects of daily life: Earth observation, telecommunications, weather forecasts and navigation, for example. Without space-based technologies, modern life would not be possible. Space is an integral part of daily life for every single person in the UK and many other parts of the world, he stated.
The commercialisation of space is under way. Responding and participating effectively means being able to act at speed. Access to capital is also needed to make things happen. Talent, people with brilliant ideas who are driven by those ideas and full of energy are another vital factor.
Satellites can also provide enormous amounts of data information in a timely manner both to understand what is occurring with climate change, but also to check how the world is responding. Radar satellites look through the clouds and therefore take images whenever they fly over a region. This is especially important in the case of flooding where the associated bad weather will often result in dense cloud cover. Information on flooding is then immediately available in case of crisis.
There is a rapid response system, with satellites on one side and a telecommunications network on the other, with computation done partially in space. This aids the emergency services, the fire brigades in the case of forest fires, or environmental protection agencies in case of floods, people who need the information very quickly.
Another of the Agenda 2025 priorities focusses on safety and security, specifically safety in space in the context of the dangers of space debris. Satellites are an essential part of society and need to be protected. Knowing the location of space debris enables operators to manoeuvre to avoid collisions. Mr Aschbacher suggested that Europe needs to strengthen its capabilities in this area. So this will be a focus for the next couple of years.
Space weather is another area of interest. Bursts of solar wind can impact power grids, communications networks and infrastructure, causing huge damage. It is estimated that a single event could cause economic damage in Europe in the order of €15 billion. While these are not common, they do happen and ESA is building a satellite which will give some warning when they do occur, in order to give some time to take precautionary action and protect infrastructure on the ground.
Responding, Dr Alice Bunn, Chief Executive of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, discussed how the UK might benefit from its membership of ESA. She highlighted the large-scale science and exploration infrastructure. Those huge programmes take many years to come to fruition – she cited the James Webb Space Telescope which was 25 years in the making. It makes sense, she said, to pool our expertise and our funding in order to cover the costs of these huge missions. The second area was civil operational capability. As a nation, the UK has historically under-invested in national capability. Instead, we have participated in EU space programmes. Membership of ESA can prove to be a very useful delivery path to help tip the balance and bring up UK national capability.
Sir Martin Sweeting, Group Executive Chairman of Surrey Satellite Technology, highlighted two particular areas that came out of Director Aschbacher’s talk. The first was the Lunar Pathfinder project. Not only is it an interesting technological challenge to undertake in the so-called ‘new space environment’, but it represents a departure from the way ESA has done business in the past. Here, ESA is setting the requirements and then leaving industry to deliver it. He argued that this was a really important step – one that might not be noticed by many – because in the past, there had been a tendency for ESA to set the challenge and then tell industry how to do it. He saw the balance shifting and this would help ESA and Europe to move more rapidly. He argued that, with the advent of the private sector in space, the tempo has increased dramatically. The private sector is moving out from applications into exploration.
In terms of international collaboration, he noted that Europe is positioned physically between the USA and the East. Each has its own particular vision of how it wants to progress in space. India is an emerging player in space and there are others. He believed that Europe should therefore engage very closely, very positively with these other players because it will benefit from collaborative projects beyond its own individual means.
Paul Bate, Chief Executive of the UK Space Agency, stressed that space is a team effort. He said that it takes a team to achieve the steps we have made as a country and as a world. While member states are looking at the ESA’s Agenda 2025, they will each have their own priorities too. The UK’s National Space Strategy2 sets out the Government’s ambitions for the UK in space, bringing together civil and defence policy for the first time. This needs to be communicated clearly to other partners.
He added that the UK Space Agency needs to think like any organisation does, identifying and articulating clearly the value that it brings. He noted the need to engage with academia, international stakeholders, industry and Whitehall to make sure the organisation is doing the right things, particularly as the agenda changes in light of the strategy and the world changes as commercialisation of space gathers pace. | aerospace |

Valentina Tereshkova is the first woman cosmonaut.
Valentina Tereshkova was born on 6 March 1937. Her father was a tractor driver and her mother worked in a textile factory. Her father died during the Second World War. Her mother, with three children, went to Jaroslavl. Since 1954, Valentina worked at different factories following her mother.
Valentina loved parachuting. When she had chance she went to the aeroclub and practiced parachute jumping. In 1962 she became a member of the Soviet cosmonaut group. At the age of 22, she had become an avid skydiver. Meanwhile the space race was in full swing. Russia had launched the first man, Yuri Gagarin, into space in on 12 April 1961 with America following closely behind, launching Alan Shepard a month later. This is when Valentina decided to become an astronaut. Her parachuting experience helped her beat out over 400 applicants to pilot the Vostok 6 spacecraft on a solo mission at the age of 25. In the world of men she faced lot of difficulties in training and following them, but yet determined to follow the risky procedures to be strong. On June 16th, 1963 Vostok made its way out of atmosphere with Valentina behind the wheel. This day the first woman to travel to space, Valentina called out as the craft took off. It is said that she orbited the Earth an astounding 48 times in less than 3 days. While in orbit, she realized that her capsule was mistakenly programmed to not return to Earth and was orienting itself further and further away from Earth. But she managed to contacted ground control for assistance and navigated back to Earth. Despite Valentina’s success, it took 19 years until another woman traveled to space.

The 25.5-day Artemis 1 mission set the stage for future moon trips with astronauts aboard, 50 years after the last Apollo moon mission.
“From Tranquility Base to Taurus-Littrow to the tranquil waters of the Pacific, the latest chapter of NASA’s journey to the moon comes to a close,” NASA spokesman Rob Navias said as Orion settled in the waters off the coast of Baja California at 9:40 a.m. PT. “Orion, back on Earth.”
Orion’s odyssey began in mid-November with the first-ever launch of NASA’s giant Space Launch System rocket, and traced a route that came as close as 80 miles to the lunar surface and ranged as far out as 40,000 miles beyond the moon. Orion traveled 1.4 million miles in all.
On the way back to Earth, cameras mounted on the spacecraft’s solar array wings sent back spectacular imagery of our planet looming larger in Orion’s metaphorical windshield. Once the spacecraft jettisoned its European-built service module, a set of thrusters built at Aerojet Rocketdyne’s facility in Redmond, Wash., controlled the capsule’s orientation for atmospheric re-entry.
Mission managers said Orion’s descent ranked among the sternest tests of the mission. As the spacecraft hit the top part of the atmosphere at a velocity of nearly 25,000 mph, Orion’s heat shield had to weather temperatures around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. After that trial by fire, parachutes slowed the descent further, allowing the spacecraft to hit the ocean at about 20 mph.
Navias said it was a “textbook entry.”
A recovery team — including Navy personnel aboard the USS Portland, an amphibious transport dock ship — went out to pick up the capsule and bring it back to shore.
Over the weeks and months ahead, NASA’s Orion team will evaluate the data collected during the flight. Three mannequins were strapped into the seats of the capsule, wired up with sensors to record temperature levels, radiation exposure and the stresses of flight.
NASA also tested an Alexa-style voice and video assistant, code-named Callisto, which was installed in the capsule as part of an experiment orchestrated by Lockheed Martin, Amazon and Cisco.
The results of Artemis 1 will help mission managers prepare for the Artemis 2 mission, which aims to send astronauts around the moon in the 2024 time frame.
“If all is still go and everything looks good, then our plan is to name the crew in early 2023,” Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, said during a post-splashdown briefing.
Artemis 2, in turn, is meant to pave the way for the first crewed lunar landing in more than a half-century, during an Artemis 3 mission that’s planned for no earlier than 2025.
“This is the program of going back to the moon, to learn to live, to invent, to create, in order to explore beyond,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said.
Artemis 1’s finale came 50 years to the day after Apollo 17 landed on the moon in Taurus-Littrow valley during the Apollo program’s final lunar mission. “A new day has dawned,” Nelson said, “and the Artemis generation is taking us there.” | aerospace |

NASA abruptly shut down a Russian cosmonaut who appeared to be describing an incoming UFO that could be spotted moving on the ISS live stream. The cosmonaut seemed to acknowledge the presence of an approaching UFO, that was “slowly moving upwards,” before he was interrupted by the NASA ground control, according to theorists online. The footage was captured on the NASA space agency live camera stream on 21st November.
The Sighting: What Really Happened?
The alleged UFO sighting, picked up by self-proclaimed UFO expert Scott C Waring, has prompted claims that powerful governments are aware of alien existence. Waring presented his findings on his YouTube channel and blog ET Database, where he talked through the video.
He claimed that the footage shows the UFO “uncloaking” which reveals a trio of alien spacecraft moving across the ISS live stream. Waring then points to the conversation between a Russian cosmonaut stationed on the ISS and NASA ground control as further proof of something suspicious taking place.
Waring said: "There is a conversation going on and then once the UFO appears the conversation between the astronaut's changes. NASA shock: ISS stream ‘cuts off’ Russian cosmonaut the moment he reports mysterious UFO
“When the Russian astronaut aboard the ISS said, ‘a ship...’, the NASA ground control cut him off and said, ‘Copy all’, before he could finish what he was saying.
“She already saw it on live cam at ground control. She reacted fast before he could talk about it too much but he already said the most important thing he could ‘a ship!’
"So here is 100% proof that NASA and Russia know that aliens frequently visit the space station.”
Why was he "cut-off'?
Waring also suggested out that the NASA video seems to become "fuzzy" when the so-called UFOs appeared.
The conspiracy theorist argued that extraterrestrial spacecraft is known to cause "electrical disturbances" and even shut down vehicles and watches.
However, skeptics online suggested that the objects were simply asteroids or ice.
GUFON Radio Stream offers a more rational explanation for the supposed UFO encounter, writing: “Isn’t it funny how these objects all move at the same speed?
“Just-ice particles dispersed as ISS corrects its course.”
The bizarre claim follows other strange sightings that Waring claims to have uncovered. These include alien tech on the asteroid Bennu and an alien base on the surface of the Moon. He also claims to have found a "sarcophagus" on Mars and discovered a sunken "Asian Atlantis" off the coast of Japan.
However, the US space agency has rejected his claims, attributing them to the effect of pareidolia – a psychological phenomenon where people see recognizable shapes in clouds, rock formations, or otherwise unrelated objects or data.

The event was founded by Kirsten Brazier in 2012. Kirsten is an Airplane and Helicopter pilot from the Lower Mainland who wanted to create an accessible event to educate and inspire women and girls to think about aviation as a career field worth exploring.
The reality is that “of 24,505 professional pilots in Canada only 1356 of them are women. Out of 19,601 aircraft engineers, only 560 of them are women. Less than 3% of the technical positions in the Royal Canadian Air Force, such as pilot or maintenance technician, are held by women. While the percentage of women in many other professions continues to grow, the percentage of women employed in the aviation and aerospace industries remains low.” (Girlsfytoo.ca)
So in celebration of International Women’s Day AND “Women of Aviation Worldwide Week” (I didn’t know this existed.), the back side of the Abbotsford Airport was transferred into a place where anything is possible and dreams come true. | aerospace |

15: Space X has delayed the launch of the Zuma mission 24 hours to Thursday, Nov. 11) at Florida's Kennedy Space Center (KSC), to help pave the way for the planned Wednesday liftoff of a payload known as Zuma. But we don't know much beyond that; it's unclear exactly what Zuma is, or what it will be doing. "The Zuma payload is a restricted payload," Lon Rains, communications director of Northrop Grumman's space systems division, told via email.
Original story: Space X is getting ready to launch a secret satellite to orbit Wednesday night (Nov. The spaceflight company test-fired one of its Falcon 9 rockets Saturday (Nov. government, in a launch procured by aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman.
Full Story: Space X Delays Launch of Secret Zuma Mission to Thursday | Read our original mission preview below.
Rains did add, however, that Zuma is headed for low Earth orbit (LEO), which extends to about 1,240 miles (2,000 kilometers) above the planet.
LEO's most famous resident is the International Space Station, which usually zooms around Earth at an altitude of about 250 miles (400 km), completing one lap every 90 minutes or so. If all goes according to plan, less than 10 minutes after liftoff, the two-stage Falcon 9's first stage will come back to Earth for a vertical touchdown at Landing Zone 1, a Space X facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, which is next door to KSC. | aerospace |
