In how many years can it be possible? It will be temporary? They will be seen from Earth? Thank you for your answers. — Claudio
Answer: NASA has proposed a project to pull an asteroid into the Moon’s orbit in order to test technologies for redirecting those asteroids that might collide with Earth. Note, though, that this is still just a study, with few firm details for actually placing an asteroid into the Moon’s orbit. | aerospace |

Local media reported that Flight A1 131 was flying over Iran when someone on board mentioned to a stewardess that a stowaway had been spotted. Having safely landed, passengers were loaded onto a replacement aircraft to continue their journey, while the plane was fumigated and the presence of the rodent investigated.
Rats occasionally board planes carrying catering equipment and other supplies and pose a serious health and safety hazard, with the potential to damage technical equipment by chewing through wires. The airline said that “though the presence of the rodent was not confirmed”, the decision to abort the flight was precautionary and in the interest of passenger safety.
This is not the first time a rat sighting has been reported on an Air India jet. An aircraft was forced to return to New Delhi back in July, after a rodent was spotted on board a flight to Milan. | aerospace |

The event is being billed as a path-breaking one which, if successful, promises to be as significant as the landing of humans on the Moon in 1969.
Indian engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Ravi Prakash, helping Curiosity to manoeuvre complex entry, descent, and landing, said the mission is full of challenges and requires thousands of events to happen successfully in a matter of minutes.
He said the event is being called "seven minutes of terror" as it will take as much time for the spacecraft to halt on Mars after travelling from the top of the Martian atmosphere at a speed of 21,000 km per hour or five times as fast as a bullet.
During those seven minutes, the spacecraft will be on its own, automatically deciding when to perform each of the thousands of actions required for the landing, he said. Curiosity would operate for 98 weeks (nearly two years) and is about five times larger than earlier Mars exploration rovers Spirit and Opportunity.
Scientists hope that Curiosity,equipped with a suite of 11 advanced instruments,will better success of the earlier explorations.
It would cover nearly 570 million km distance before touching down on the Red Planets Gale Crater and its heat shield will reach more than 2,000 degrees C as it takes off.
An on-board laboratory on Curiosity will study rocks, soil and the local geological settings to detect chemical building blocks of life and see what the Martian environment was like in the past.
The nearly $2.5 billion mission carrying Curiosity was launched from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on November 26,2011 on-board the powerful 58-m-tall Atlas V rocket as part of Nasas long term robotic Mars exploration programme.
Around 80 pyrotechnic devices will be activated on the spacecraft in quick succession to ensure that it lands safely during the final few minutes of Curiosity’s flight.
An instrument on-board Curiosity the Mars descent imager or Mardi will record a full colour video of the ground below and give space buffs an unprecedented sense of riding a spacecraft to a landing on Mars. | aerospace |

Federal investigators said late Monday that it was possible that the bolts that were supposed to keep a fuselage panel in place were never installed before the panel blew off an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 in a near-disastrous accident on Friday night.
That is one of the theories that the National Transportation Safety Board is pursing as it investigates the blowout, the board’s chairwoman, Jennifer Homendy, said at a news conference in Portland, Ore. Her remarks came hours after United Airlines said it had found loose bolts on similar panels on some of its Max 9 jets while preparing them for inspection after the midair emergency, and Alaska Airlines said it had also found “loose hardware” on Max 9s.
The panel that came off the plane, called a door plug, is placed where an emergency exit door would be if a jet had more seats. Ms. Homendy said on Monday that four bolts, known as stop bolts, should have prevented the door plug from moving upward and coming off the plane.
But the bolts were not on the door plug when investigators recovered it, and they are trying to determine whether they were there to begin with. “We don’t know if they were there or if, again, they came out during the violent explosive decompression event,” Ms. Homendy said.
The door plug came off the plane, Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, about 10 minutes after it took off from Portland International Airport, subjecting passengers to howling wind and forcing the pilots to quickly return to the airport. No serious injuries were reported. The door plug, phones, toys and other personal items all streamed out of the hole in the side of the plane and fell across Portland.
Airlines have canceled hundreds of flights as they prepare to inspect nearly 200 Max 9 aircraft, which will be grounded until regulators and company officials decide they are safe. Some passengers’ travel plans could be disrupted for days. Alaska Airlines used 65 of the planes, about 20 percent of its fleet, and United used 79, more than any other airline and about 8 percent of its fleet, according to Cirium, an aviation data provider.
United Airlines said on Monday that it had found loose bolts in door plugs in some of its Max 9 planes as it took out seats and sidewall liners for inspections this weekend.
The door plug that came off the plane was initially installed by Spirit AeroSystems, which makes the body for the 737 Max and other aircraft. Investigators said they were looking into whether work had been carried out on or near the door since the plane entered service in November.
Ms. Homendy said on Sunday that Alaska Airlines had been warned three times before the Friday flight about problems with cabin pressure on the plane. Those warnings were significant enough that the airline had decided the plane, a Max 9, could no longer be used on flights to Hawaii.
Investigators may look into whether the installation of wireless internet equipment on the plane by a contractor, AAR, between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7 played any part in the pressurization problems, which emerged after that work was complete. In a statement, AAR said on Monday that it “did not perform any work on or near any midcabin exit door plug of that specific aircraft.”
The accident Friday could have been far more catastrophic, especially if the plane had been at a higher altitude, experts said. Ms. Homendy said on Sunday night that the passengers had included three babies and four unaccompanied children between the ages of 5 and 17.
Ms. Homendy said in a brief interview on Monday that her team was reviewing the plane’s flight data recorder to try to determine if the pressurization warning light could be linked to the door plug. The plane has several backup systems in case one of the pressurization systems fails.
“There may have been something wrong with either the light or that one other unit, but there’s redundancies in the system,” Ms. Homendy said.
Kathleen Bangs, an aviation expert and a former airline pilot, said she believed that the investigation would reveal a failure of the door plug because of the condition of the plane. Typically, explosive decompression incidents happen on older planes that have metal corrosion and fatigue, Ms. Bangs said. In this case, she said, the plane was almost new, which indicates that there was most likely an issue with the door plug.
Anthony Brickhouse, a professor of aerospace safety at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, said a blowout at a cruising altitude of more than 30,000 feet could have been disastrous. “We could have been looking at a situation where more of the structure could have come off and would have been looking at a situation where passengers who weren’t strapped in properly would have been blown out because the forces would have been so tremendous,” he said.
Pressurization starts to affect most commercial planes around 8,000 feet, said Mr. Brickhouse, who previously investigated aviation accidents for the safety board. Not properly controlling the air entering and leaving the cabin can lead to altitude sickness, or hypoxia, among passengers and the crew.
Hypoxia, a condition that develops when the brain is deprived of oxygen, can happen on planes without appropriate pressurization when they begin flying above 10,000 feet or suffer rapid decompression, the F.A.A. says. This is why flight attendants tell passengers to use drop-down masks in the event of rapid decompression, Mr. Brickhouse said.
In a statement, the F.A.A. said the required inspections would concentrate on the plugs, door components and fasteners.
“Our teams have been working diligently — with thorough F.A.A. review — to provide comprehensive, technical instructions to operators for the required inspections,” Stan Deal, the chief executive of Boeing’s commercial plane unit, and Mike Delaney, the chief aerospace safety officer, said in a message to employees of that unit on Monday.
Other airlines with Max 9 planes are outside the United States, such as Copa Airlines of Panama, Turkish Airlines and Icelandair. The European Union’s aviation safety agency announced on Monday that the Max 9 jets operating in Europe were not grounded because they had a different configuration.
The F.A.A. previously said it would take four to eight hours to inspect each plane. Inspecting the nearly 200 Max 9 planes in the United States, according to the aviation agency, could take a few days.
Aviation regulators and Boeing said the inspections were unique to the Max 9. The Max 9, along with the more popular Max 8, was grounded for nearly two years after two crashes of the Max 8 in 2018 and 2019 killed 346 people.
In a statement, Alaska Airlines said it could not answer many outstanding questions about the plane and what had led to the blowout without approval from the safety board. The airline said it had asked the N.T.S.B. to share more information and would do so if allowed. In such investigations, parties are typically restricted in what they can share publicly.
Boeing’s chief executive, Dave Calhoun, planned to host a companywide safety meeting on Tuesday to discuss the company’s response to the episode and reaffirm its commitment to safety. Boeing is still working to secure approval of the smaller Max 7 and larger Max 10.
Boeing shares closed down about 8 percent on Monday, and shares of Spirit AeroSystems closed down 11 percent.

bell? They were the first humans to walk on the moon, a colossal feat
conducted in 1969 by NASA, the US's national Aeronautical and Space
Since then, NASA has conducted over 150 missions with humans on
board and approximately 40 unmanned missions and yet, Kwatsi Alibaruho
still managed to carve his name in the list of firsts at NASA.
Alibaruho was the lead flight director for the shuttle, Discovery, which went on a 13-day mission into space.
The shuttle, was also the first to travel into space after the
unfortunate space shuttle, Columbia, broke up after re-entry in 2003,
killing all seven astronauts on board.
What a flight director does
"My responsibility is to lead the team of people in mission control
to develop, plan and execute space missions for a space shuttle and for
the international space station," he says.
Alibaruho explains that during the mission, he directs the flow of
activities in space, the configuration of the spacecraft and the
activities of the teams on the ground.
The American-born Alibaruho, whose siblings were born in Uganda,
says he is tasked with managing several dozen people of varying
expertise. Such include flight controllers and engineers.
He says he also workson highly technical problems associated with planning and executing human space missions.
"I like the fact that this position is a highly technical one,"
says the Texas-based avionics graduate who has been a group leader for
the International Space Station Life Support Systems Group.
Alibaruho has also been the deputy chairman of the Orbital Space Plane Source Evaluation Board's operations committee.
Alibaruho on his work
"Working in this profession is a rare opportunity and I want to
excel in this area," says Alibaruho, who is driven by a passion to work
with space and related operations.
Alibaruho is the recipient of the 2001 Rotary National Award for
Space Achievement Stellar Award and was also awarded with the Engineer
of the Year Award in 2001 from the National Technical Association in
Alibaruho says when he first learned about what flight controllers
and flight directors did when he was in university at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT), he immediately decided he wanted to
become a flight director.
"I worked for several years to position myself to be selected as a
flight director," says Kwatsi, who was named after his paternal
grandfather, Mukwatsibwoha which in Rukiga is more of a question in the
context of a contest.
It is a question posed by an opponent, "who will help me overcome the strength of this opposing person?"
Advice for Students
"The single biggest enabler for my career has been my education," he says.
"One should pursue the highest quality education available and
always think ahead to position oneself for desirable career
opportunities," adds Alibaruho.
Both his parents are both teachers and have since settled back in Uganda.
His father, George Alibaruho, an economics maven, is now a Bank of
Uganda professor and chair of the department of economics at Kabale
His African-American mother, Gloria Lindsey Alibaruho, is a
retired history professor, who is now an entrepreneur in Aloe Vera
products in Uganda.
"I tend to be somewhat of a workaholic. Whenever given a task or
faced with an assignment, I always work diligently to complete the
tasks," he says.
The flight director adds: "I strive to be excellent in all that I
do, so the quality of my work can stand out and subsequently, avail the
people on my team the best chance to grow and succeed."
While at MIT, Alibaruho did an internship at AT&T, the
largest provider of fixed telephony in the US, as a software developer.
He has also worked as a software developer at MIT's laboratory for computer science.
He did an internship at NASA in Johnson Space Centre and
thereafter, did another internship at Martin Marietta Astrospace
Division in New Jersey.
On graduation, Alibaruho was hired as a flight controller in
the International Space Station Life Support Systems Group of NASA's
Mission Operations Directorate in Texas.
After six years, he was selected as the manager of the life
support systems team for three-and-a-half years, which, after he was
selected as a flight director in February 2005. | aerospace |

The celebrations this past year in honor of the 100 year anniversary of powered flight included several attempts to recreate that flight. One of the contenders was powering his rendition hith a nice shiny new Harley engine. I don't recall now how well it flew, but it did in deed fly.
I saw a Harley powered airplane in the Wheels of Time museum in Maggie Valley, NC. They said that an 18 year old built it in his basement, and when he completed it, took it to the airport to look for a pilot. All the pilots said the construction looked great, but they wouldn't fly it. Story has it that is was flown once for a short distance.
By the way, if you are ever in the Maggie Valley area (off the Blue Ridge Parkway), be sure to visit this museum. He has an incredible collection of vintage motorcycles, and a lot of them still run.
But actually I will always remember the words of the HD Chairman and CEO who said a few years ago "If you want a bike with a great motor, buy a Honda, nobody can build motors like Honda, but if you want a lifestyle you buy a Harley! Can you fly a lifestyle....I think not!
Humm, I think the Wing is a lifestyle with a great motor....hey whatever, what do I know anyhow! :shock:
Harley-Davidson ® engines were not developed and have not been tested or approved for use in aircraft.
Harley-Davidson Motor company disclaims any and all responsibility
for damage or injury arising from use of it's engines in these aircraft.
I've read in a number of places, including "The History of Harley-Davidson", that Harley did make aircraft engines at some points throughout the years. 'can't vouch for the authenticy of those "facts".
I have read recently that Honda is testing their engines in airplanes at a Florida site. And how about the Yama-Hopper helicopter, now available?
I'm not fond of flying in anything, so IMHO if I need to fly, I want it to say Boeing somewhere one it!
Motorcycle engines in aircraft are not new at all. In my misspent youth, a couple of us bought a 1935 Aeronca C-3 (called a 'flying bathtub') that needed a recover job and some other work. The engine that powered that plane was on built by JAP (for James A Preston, I think) Machine Works, Ltd, in England, and it was designed for one of their motorcycle powerplants. They also built singles and V-twins.
A year later, we bought a 1937 Aeronca K with a blown engine, also one built by JAP but called an Aeronca E-113 engine built under license. We got it because we had a spare engine that came with the C-3.
Many of those aircraft were converted to more reliable C-65's for more power and parts availability.
So, a Hog engine would be a good one - parts are easy to find. Just follow one down the road....
I work for an airplane manufacturer and in truth, airframe manufacturing is amazingly low tech (notice I did not say airframe engineering). None of the major airframe manufacturers currently builds it own engines and most buy avionics from an outside source. Rather like the V-Rod. Next time major shooting starts, you can see hours of unpaid advertisements for our products on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and your local channels.

We will also look into Worm Holes, New Earth-like planets discovered and how we may one day reach them. In addition, Teleportation and Quantum Entanglement will also be explored. Plus an interplanetary Internet that Google and NASA are looking at.
Will Warp drive technology be here sooner than you think? A top lead scientist (Dr Harold White) at NASA suggested that perhaps we could have a star trek experience in our lifetimes. This certainly seems like a bold statement to make considering how we are still stuck in low earth orbit.
Vision for the Stars
This website is dedicated to revealing the latest serious scientific discoveries being worked on that will allow us to obtain new energy resources not only to make our world safer and cleaner but also allow us to explore and settle in this solar system and eventually beyond.
We will look in detail at what NASA at the Eagle Works Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratories is doing with researching into warp drive and their concepts into electrical propulsion.
Plus exploring other kinds of Propulsion systems that are helping the space Industry and new potential concepts such as Nuclear Fusion, Electromagnetic Drive and Cold Fusion.
Along with exploring the new planets that are earth-like and how they could even be more habitable and suitable to humans than earth.
Other Solar Systems
There was a time that it was only in science fiction like star trek that other planets existed around other stars, while there was speculation there was no evidence. However, that changed around the early to mid-1990s when a large Jupiter-like gas giant was detected in a different star system.
Today it is a completely different story with not just orbital bodies but possible earth-like exoplanets being discovered by Kepler.
This means that our solar system is far from being unique in terms of planetary bodies orbiting around the sun, which I think the scientific community once thought. So scientists are saying now is the time to understand how to develop the technology to explore not only our solar system but also beyond.
The Holy Grail of Space Flight
Researchers are actively looking at different propulsion technologies as an alternative to fossil fuels. Trying to get off the ground and into earth’s orbit, takes around 90% of the payload of the mass of the rocket in fuel.
As an example, to get to Mars would require a phenomenal amount of chemical rocket fuel, and taking into account the mass of the fuel as well as getting to Mars land safely, then breaking out of Mars orbit, and then finally getting back home again. Hardly a walk in the park…
The cost of this is ridiculous and we have not even looked at the technologies needed to keep the crew safe and alive. So space flight is notoriously difficult and other kinds of propulsion technologies need to be looked at perhaps even for Mars.
If you want to go beyond the solar system, then you are going to have to come up with an entirely different source of energy and how to travel. Fossil fuels and chemical rockets will have to be abandoned completely.
Travelling at 20% of the speed of light would perhaps take us 30 to 50 years to get to Alpha Centauri which is the closest star to us being 4.2 light years away.
This is why warp drive is really the holy grail of interstellar space flight otherwise we are not going anywhere outside our solar system.
Can we not go Faster than Light?
Nothing with mass can go faster than the speed of light, however, space itself is understood to be able to travel at any speed since it does not have mass. In relation to Einstein’s field equations, space-time can be stretched and compressed at will.
So researchers wonder if there is a ‘loophole’ in getting around the light barrier via warping or distorting space around us so the destination is coming to us rather than we going to it. While we exist inside a mass-less cloud or warp bubble. Thus the craft is never going faster than light but instead space-time itself is.
At NASA they are looking how to create and detect a very small distortion using Laser Quantum Optics in the lab and if this can be done and understood then it can be argued that they have proved that such a phenomenon is possible perhaps leading to the next steps.
The motivation behind these experiments at NASA is related to Dr White and his team who research advanced concepts, and feel the energy requirements can be greatly reduced, as before the energy needed was completely impractical.
Perhaps a star-trek type experience may be here sooner than we think… | aerospace |
https://beingoptimistic.net/private-jet-safety-4-things-you-need-to-know/ | 2023-12-03T01:19:55 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100476.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20231202235258-20231203025258-00369.warc.gz | 0.923764 | 824 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__105935131 | en | In today’s fast-paced world, time is a precious commodity. For those who can afford it, chartering a private jet can be an efficient and luxurious way to travel. However, while private jets offer convenience and comfort, it’s essential to prioritize safety above all else. This article delves into four crucial aspects of private jet safety that every traveler should be aware of when considering charter jet services.
1. Stringent Maintenance Standards
One of the fundamental pillars of private jet safety is the rigorous maintenance standards that these aircraft must adhere to. Unlike commercial airlines, private jet operators typically own and maintain their fleets, which means they have a direct stake in ensuring the aircraft’s safety and reliability.
A charter jet in NYC includes regular inspections, servicing, and adherence to manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules. Maintenance crews are highly trained and certified to handle various technical issues, ensuring that the aircraft is in optimal condition before every flight.
Additionally, private jet operators often invest in state-of-the-art maintenance facilities equipped with advanced diagnostic tools. These facilities play a critical role in promptly identifying and addressing potential safety concerns.
2. Experienced and Well-Trained Crew
The quality and experience of the flight crew are paramount to private jet safety. Private jet pilots undergo rigorous training and certification processes, often surpassing the requirements of commercial airline pilots. Their training includes emergency procedures, advanced navigation systems, and proficiency in operating specific aircraft models.
Furthermore, private jet crews are generally more experienced due to the smaller and more exclusive nature of the industry. These seasoned professionals are well-versed in handling a wide range of scenarios, from adverse weather conditions to medical emergencies.
Before every flight, the crew conducts thorough pre-flight safety checks, ensuring that all systems are functioning correctly. This dedication to safety extends to the cabin crew, who are trained to provide excellent service while being prepared to handle emergency situations with composure and efficiency.
3. Stringent Safety Regulations and Auditing
The private jet industry operates under strict regulatory oversight to maintain the highest safety standards. National aviation authorities, such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, impose stringent regulations on private jet operations. These regulations cover everything from pilot qualifications to aircraft maintenance and safety procedures.
In addition to government regulations, many private jet operators voluntarily undergo third-party safety audits and certifications. Independent organizations like the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) and the Aviation Research Group/US (ARG/US) conduct these audits. Successfully passing these audits demonstrates a commitment to safety that goes beyond mere compliance with legal requirements.
For travelers, this means that when you choose a private jet charter company that has undergone these safety audits, you can have confidence in the high level of safety and professionalism that they offer.
4. Modern Aircraft and Advanced Technology
Advancements in aircraft technology have played a significant role in enhancing private jet safety. Many private jet operators invest in new and modern aircraft equipped with cutting-edge safety features. These aircraft often incorporate the latest in avionics, navigation systems, and communication tools, ensuring higher safety and reliability.
One notable safety feature found in modern private jets is the Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS). EGPWS provides real-time alerts to pilots about potential collisions with terrain, helping to prevent accidents in challenging weather conditions or unfamiliar terrain. Moreover, private jets are equipped with advanced weather radar systems that allow pilots to navigate around severe weather, minimizing turbulence and ensuring a smoother and safer flight experience for passengers.
When it comes to private jet safety, there’s more to it than just the luxurious travel experience. Stringent maintenance standards, experienced and well-trained crews, rigorous safety regulations, and modern aircraft with advanced technology collectively contribute to heightened safety for private jet travelers. Choosing a private jet charter company that prioritizes safety and adheres to these principles ensures that you can enjoy the convenience and comfort of chartering a private jet while having peace of mind on your journey. | aerospace |

I know some people who don’t realize the shuttle missions halted back in 2003. That shocks me. To them, US space travel is a given, and they take for granted our ability to fly to the heavens.
I think it’s a miracle that in one mere century, humans went from riding trains and trading in their horse-and-carriage for an automobile to stepping on the moon. It makes me wonder what new frontiers we’ll embark on in 2105.
How will we communicate? Will the 40-hour work week still exist? Where will tourists vacation? Will we purchase discount tickets on Expedia to one of several space stations? Or perhaps to a resort located at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?
In twelve days the shuttle will return to Earth, mission accomplished. Until then, god speed to the crew members on Discovery. | aerospace |

Sources told Business Recorder on Tuesday that the tax officials have submitted their comments on NAP, keeping in view the exemptions given in the 2006-07 budget.
The CBR has drafted recommendations on the directive of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz in a meeting in connection with the National Trade Corridor, which decided to discuss the draft National Aviation Policy with all stakeholders to create an environment conducive for the aviation industry.
The CBR is of the view that since adequate exemptions are already in place, any extension therein is not supported under the National Aviation Policy, sources said. According to the Board, presently, exemption from sales tax is available for aircraft (not helicopters) spare parts, if imported by domestic airline for maintenance of planes.
Exemption of customs duty and sales tax is also available on import of aircraft spares, parts, tyres, navigational equipment, accessories for maintenance and operations of aircraft, chemicals, lubricants and paints, air tickets, aircraft carpet, aircraft fabric, skydrol (brake fluid), laminated sheet, aluminum alloy sheets, aluminum alloy extrusions, aircraft seats, tools, test equipment, life jackets, spares of TGS vehicle, meals trolley, ball hand seal, standard units, exterior washing liquid, air head set electronics, air head set pneumatic and sealants. The items should also be imported by domestic airlines for maintenance of their aircraft.
Sources said that the said exemptions are linked with the commercial activity for general public. Therefore, extension of exemption for exclusive use eg flying schools, chartered planes is not supported by the Board.
They said that unconditional exemption has been granted to planes and other aircraft covered under the Sales Tax Act, 1990. However, helicopters, having only insignificant share in the local aviation sector, cannot be extended the same exemption.
Previously, exemption of sales tax under the Sixth Schedule of Sales Tax Act, 1990 was applicable on imported aircraft having un-laden weight of 8000 kg or more. Generally, commercial airlines hold aircraft above 8000 kg whereas General Aviation Operators use aircraft below 8000 kg. In order to promote the aviation industry, all types of aircraft have been exempted from levy of sales tax by including the same in the Sixth Schedule of Sales Tax Act, 1990.
According to CBR, flight simulator software is already exempt from sales tax levy, while publications and manuals, too, are exempted from sales tax. The Board said that elimination/reimbursement of taxes on secondary routes would be discriminatory and would cause distortion in the local air travel market.
All plants, machinery, equipment (whether or not locally manufactured) is already zero-rated from sales tax purpose and aviation related items are also exempted from sales tax. The Board has already given a number of exemptions to the aviation sector and further exemptions would not be appropriate in this regard. | aerospace |

There are multiple sizes and types of aircraft antennas available, designed for different frequencies. Different antennas can have different characteristics of frequencies and applications. Communication and navigation are the main applications for aircraft antennas. Additionally, different antennas can have its own set of specification for aircraft avionics.
As the placement of the receiving stations are not fixed, the signal produced by the antennas should be omni directional. The aircraft antennas are generally mounted either on the top or the bottom of the plane. Furthermore, there has been a significant hike in the adoption of aircraft antennas in military drones in the recent years for carrying out search and rescue operations optimally. For instance, in August 2018, as per a report by South China morning post, Chinese military and government agencies is using bird like drones named Doves which consists of GPS antennas for tracking its citizens in the region.
The rising use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) owing to its significant adoption in public safety is suggested to be one of the primary reasons for the growth of global aircraft antennas market over the forecast period. For instance, in May 2018 Wayne Township Fire Department in Indiana used a drone to drop a life jacket to a citizen who was on the verge of drowning in a lake. However, the high cost of manufacturing for aircraft antennas is suggested to cause refrain in the growth of the market.
Furthermore, rising number of airlines in growing economies such as Asia Pacific and South America is anticipated to be of large potential for the growth of global aircraft antennas market. Moreover, in June 2018, as per the International Air Transport Association, a prominent a trade association of the world’s airlines stated that the Asia Pacific airline industry would deliver a profit of over 8 Billion summing reaching a total of approximately US$ 33.8 Billion by the end of 2018 which is anticipated to be of great help for the global aircraft antennas market.
The global aircraft antennas market could be segmented into three parts namely application, end-use and region. As per the application the global aircraft antennas market can be further divided into three sub segments namely Communication, Navigation and Surveillance. As per end-use the aircraft antennas market can be sub segmented into three parts namely defense, commercial and others. The commercial segment is suggested to hold a prominent share owing to its higher bulk as compared to its counterparts. However the growing adoption of UAV in military application is suggested to make the military segment grow with a significant pace over the forecast period.
As per regions the aircraft antennas market is suggested to be divided into five regions – North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa and South America. North America is anticipated to hold the highest market share owing to the significant technological development in the region. Additionally, the rising adoption of aircraft antennas in commercial and military applications in Asia Pacific is suggested to help the region grow on a significant pace in the global aircraft antennas market over the forecast period.

As an Air Force Navigator/Bombardier during the 70’s I was stationed all over the world. In 1975, I was returning from a tour in Thailand through the Pacific as the navigator on a KC135 air refueling aircraft. It was really a Boeing 707 converted to carry fuel. With a boom in the back of the aircraft, we could refuel other aircraft while still in the air. While in Thailand, we flew missions to refuel fighters and bombers while in lands between Thailand and Viet Nam. After our tour of duty was over, we were anxious to get back home to our base in California.
Our return leg through the Pacific meant that we would return to the US via Guam for rest and refueling. One of the exciting things about going to Guam was that we could go to the BX (base exchange) and purchase stereo equipment at discount prices. And the BX at Guam had the very best inventory of any base in the world. Plus we did not have to pay any duty on that equipment because customs waived us through, for the most part, without seeking duty payments. Every airman who could, would load up on stereo gear to take back to the states. We were no exception.
One advantage we had over most airmen was that the KC135 had basically an empty fuselage. All the fuel we carried was in the wings and belly tanks, leaving the entire fuselage wide open. We could have easily fitted several cars in that aircraft if we were allowed to do so. There were no prohibitions on stereo gear or other imported goods. So, as soon as we arrived in Guam we made a bee-line to the BX. We began purchasing the best stereo gear you could find and it was all there to be found.
After making our purchases we were shocked to hear sirens. They were warning sirens set to alert the residents of a typhoon bearing down on the island. Having grown up in Indiana, my exposure to typhoons was, as you might imagine, quite limited. It turned out it was a category 4 and that year it was named Super Typhoon June and one of the strongest on record with three eyes according to data available on line.
We were directed to report to Base Operations immediately. Until we heard the siren, all was beautiful and quiet on that tropical island. This weather feature was a surprise to all of us. At Ops, we were told to “hunker down” on the second floor of one of the concrete barracks on the island. We were told to wait out the storm. Our crew was the last to arrive. As a result, they directed all the aircraft to leave the island (B-52’s and KC135’s) and to keep one crew (ours) and one aircraft back. We were a back up crew to ferry parts to the aircraft which had been evacuated to Kadena Air Base, Japan during the storm.
Kadena, was a very small island at the far southern tip of Japan, somewhat removed from the mainland of Japan. It was a very small target. I tell you this because, we were instructed to fly there. Normally, that would not be a big deal but first we were given a radio, rations and told to stay in the barracks until instructed to come out AFTER TYPHOON JUNE PASSED OVER US. The barracks had shutters and we used tape to seal the gap between the door and the jamb. And we listened as the wind howled and grew in intensity. Typhoon June passed close to the island and they clocked winds in excess of 180 miles an hour. We were cramped in the room assigned with stereo gear boxed in oversize packing for transport. We had so much gear, there was barely enough room for us.
It was scary and uncomfortable at the same time. They told us not to go outside under any circumstances until told to leave. One of the biggest dangers was getting hit in the head with debris, especially coconuts. I am not kidding. I can still smell the air as I write this and feel the buffeting of the wind, even in a concrete bunker.
When the radio reports said that winds had subsided to 90 mph, we ventured outside. You could lean forward into the wind, and not fall over. Finally, we were cleared to leave. They loaded a bus with all our gear and took us to Base Ops. There, we were given the flight plan and ordered to fly west to Kadena. The problem was that we had to fly right through Typhoon June to get there. It was critical that we transport spare parts to the aircraft on the ground at Kadena so that they could fly out of harms way. Military aircraft of that vintage always needed parts to get off the ground as systems failed so it was absolutely necessary that we complete the mission.
In normal times, stateside, I would be “violated” and be reprimanded or loose my ability to continue flying if I came within 20 miles of an active thunderstorm. So we were very careful never to even get within 50miles due to turbulence, hail, lightning and other weather features. The aircraft were not designed to experience those types of “g” forces.
This mission was not normal. We were instructed to get to Kadena by all means possible. That meant flying THROUGH Typhoon June. It was so expansive with tops of the clouds exceeding 80,000 feet. That was well above our aircraft’s ceiling capability. For instrumentation, since we were over the Pacific, we would be out of the normal aids for navigation that we used stateside. Instead, we had Loran, High Frequency Radio Waves and Celestial Navigation, using a sextant. Of those three aids, two were highly unreliable and inaccurate. Our best hope was to use the sextant and navigate using the sun and planets or stars at night. Navigators also use what is called “dead reckoning” which uses predicted “winds aloft” which are provided before the flight and subject to significant changes over time. Our flight, if I recall correctly, was scheduled to be about 5 hours long.
As we progressed to the west, we could see the dense, dark, solid bank of clouds which circled around the eye of the Typhoon. As darkness descended upon us and as we entered the front, I kept a close eye on my radar screen. I did this to find the least intense returns so that I could “thread the needle” and try to avoid the most intense turbulence so that we didn’t exceed the limits of the aircraft.
I was fortunate to have very competent pilot and co-pilot (Bill Herlihy was the crew commander and an excellent pilot). He maintained control as we were experiencing seemingly endless updrafts and downdrafts, intense rain and lightning. I really wondered if we were going to make it alive. Due to changing radar returns, we had to alter course about every three minutes. As a navigator, all I could do under the circumstances was to “air plot” our position each time we altered course. That means that I would simply record the airspeed, time, and true heading of the aircraft and mark that point on my chart. The pilots kept asking about the conditions ahead on the radar. I assured them that I was taking them through the best path to avoid the “hardest” returns. When time allowed, I would be able to plot a vector representing the estimated wind effect on my air position giving me my best guess of our true position.
Eventually, we broke through and I took several readings using my sextant and correcting my chart for where I believed we were located. Knowing our position was critical. Failing to know where we were might create an international incident. Anytime you fly into an air defense zone (ADIZ), which is airspace of the soverign country which you are approaching, they have radar and watch for approaching aircraft. Sometimes, radio contact is not possible at that range and you need to hit the ADIZ within time and distance perameters that don’t give you much room to be off course or outside of your estimated time of arrival when penetrating that ADIZ. We filed a flight plan. The time and location of our point of penetration was anticipated as long as we hit the mark. Failing to do so meant that aircraft would be launched to intercept our aircraft or shoot us down.
Since we had made so many alterations over such a long time, it was critical that I correct those errors and be on-time and in place as planned. If aircraft had to be launched to intercept us, the pilots and myself would have violated the controlled airspace rules and that would be the end of our careers in the Air Force.
As it turned out, we were right on time and crossed the ADIZ as planned. We sighed a breath of relief as we met the mark and celebrated with a hot meal and some drinks after that flight. We celebrated being alive and not being violated. That was one of the best meals I ever had – the problem was that we were no sooner on the base and completed that meal, that we heard sirens for – you guessed it – Typhoon June. We took cover again as the Typhoon made landfall not as intense as at Guam. But, my crew and I are probably the only individuals with the distinction of having experienced the same Typhoon twice, both coming and going.
Normally, my goal is to have a connection with my life experience and practicing law. I am just glad to be alive and have the opportunity to practice law as I do today. When you experience proximity to death, it changes you and makes it possible to better appreciate the life you have and what is really important in your life. | aerospace |

About this on his page in Facebook wrote one of the passengers Alexander Glushchenko.
He noted that twenty flight Riga - Kiev airline WIzz Air could not get on the flight, which was heading to Kiev and it happened due to the fact that during rush hour at the Riga airport there was only one control point with eight.
"20 people stood in line to control two or three hours, defended, got to passport control, passed it, and still not have time... in Front of them just closed the door! And froze!", - wrote he.
For his words, that the airport staff do not respond to the comments of passengers as soon fly. And the plane, he added Alexander Glushchenko, flew half-empty.
He also noted that were unable to fly 40 passengers of the flight on the Cologne.
As reported by the portal "Comments", In Japan in connection with the approaching Typhoon "Taxi" airlines canceled flight 103.
Rail companies are urged to check the latest information, as trains may be cancelled depending on the route that goes by the Typhoon.
The pressure at the center of the Typhoon is 960 hPa, the wind speed is 144 kilometers per hour, and wind gusts reaching 216 km per hour.
Within a radius of 90 km from the centre of the Typhoon the wind speed exceeds 90 miles per hour. | aerospace |

Effective April 1, 2012, jet fuel used by commercial air services for international flights is exempt from motor fuel tax. However, this exemption does not apply to commercial flights between two points in British Columbia or flights that connect another point in Canada to British Columbia.
In order to qualify for a point-of-sale exemption or a refund of motor fuel tax, a person must own or operate a commercial air service that provides members of the public, for a fee, the following:
- international air transportation of passengers, goods, or both; or
- international air services other than the transportation of passengers, goods, or both.
In addition, the commercial air service must hold a license issued by the Canadian Transportation Agency and, if required, operating certificates issued by Transport Canada for the types of aircraft used on flights between British Columbia and points outside Canada.
If the above criteria are met and a commercial air service has no flights between two points in British Columbia or that connect another point in Canada to British Columbia, the person may apply to become designated as a registered consumer of jet fuel, and effective April 1, 2012, may receive a point-of-sale exemption from motor fuel tax on jet fuel. Qualifying commercial air service providers may apply for a registered consumer certificate as an international air service by completing form FIN 165, “Application for Registration as a Registered Consumer under the Motor Fuel Tax Act”.
Commercial air service providers that are not eligible to be designated registered consumers of jet fuel must pay motor fuel tax on all jet fuel purchases; however, they may apply for a refund of the motor fuel tax paid on fuel used for international flights. Refunds may be submitted using form FIN 147, “Refund of Motor Fuel Tax – Purchaser of Fuel”.

Since the first Landsat satellite launched in 1972, the mission has collected data on the forests, farms, urban areas and freshwater of our home planet, generating the longest continuous record of its kind The Landsat satellites make loops around the Earth and are constantly collecting images of the surface through the use of a variety of sensing devices. Since the beginning of the Landsat program in 1972, the images and data have been available to all countries around the world. Landsat data is free and available to anyone on the planet Landsat is the only U.S. satellite system designed and operated to repeatedly observe the global land surface at a moderate scale that shows both natural and human-induced change. + Landsat 9: Empowering open science and applications through continuity (Masek et al., 2020) Landsat 9 Overvie The Landsat program is the longest running project for acquisition of repetitive multispectral data of the Earth's surface. The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972 and the most recent one (Landsat 7) in 1999. Landsats 1-3 covered the Earth every 18 days
The Landsat program is the longest-running enterprise for acquisition of satellite imagery of Earth. It is a joint NASA / USGS program. On 23 July 1972, the Earth Resources Technology Satellite was launched. This was eventually renamed to Landsat 1 in 1975. The most recent, Landsat 8, was launched on 11 February 2013 The Landsat Program. This joint NASA/USGS program provides the longest continuous space-based record of Earth's land in existence. Every day, Landsat satellites provide essential information to help land managers and policy makers make wise decisions about our resources and our environment. + Landsat Case Studies ebook The Landsat program is an enterprise that is the source of earth satellite imagery. It has been running since its launch on July 23, 1972, making it the longest running satellite imaging enterprise Landsat 8 was developed as a collaboration between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). NASA led the design, construction, launch, and on-orbit calibration phases, during which time the satellite was called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). On May 30, 2013, USGS took over routine operations and the satellite became Landsat 8
Since 1972, data acquired by the Landsat series of satellites have become integral to land. Since 1972, Landsat satellites have continuously acquired space- based images of the Earth's land surface, providing data that serve as valuable resources for land use/land change research. The data are useful to a number of applications including forestry, agriculture, geology, regional planning, and education
The Landsat satellite record stretches from 1972 to the present. This gallery includes all Landsat images published on the Earth Observatory, Visible Earth, and Landsat Science web sites from all seven Landsat satellites (Landsats 1-8, Landsat 6 failed to achieve orbit). All of the images are in the public domain and may be used with attribution Landsat 7 is the most accurately calibrated Earth-observing satellite, i.e., its measurements are extremely accurate when compared to the same measurements made on the ground. Landsat 7's sensor has been called the most stable, best characterized Earth observation instrument ever placed in orbit
The question is: which satellite out the Landsat TM (Thematic Mapper) and SPOT 5 would you use to map general extent of a 300km x 300km study area. My answer was that you would use the SPOT 5 as it is higher resolution and would let you get a finer extent vs the 30m resolution of the Landsat TM The Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 satellites orbit the Earth at an altitude of 705 kilometers (438 miles) in a 185-kilometer (115-mile) swath, moving from north to south over the sunlit side of the Earth in a sun synchronous orbit, following the World Reference System (WRS-2)
Landsat 4 is the fourth satellite of the Landsat program.It was launched on July 16, 1982, with the primary goal of providing a global archive of satellite imagery. Although the Landsat Program is managed by NASA, data from Landsat 4 was collected and distributed by the U.S. Geological Survey.Landsat 4 science operations ended on December 14, 1993 when the satellite lost its ability to. . It will continue almost forty years of operation of the Landsat series of land observing satellites, part of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, which is the longest continuous record of the Earth's surface as seen from space

The Multispectral Scanner (MSS) carried on Landsat 1,2,3,4 and 5 collected data in four ranges (bands); the Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor on Landsat 4 and Landsat 5 included those found on earlier satellites and also introduced a thermal and a shortwave infrared band In 2011, scientists from North Carolina, France, and Peru saw that deforestation in a portion of the Amazon rainforest was proceeding at an unusual pace in an unexpected place. Images from the Landsat 5 satellite clearly showed that deforestation had increased six-fold over a six-year period in the remote Madre de Dios region of Peru, near the Bolivian border The LANDSAT 7 ETM+ satellite sensor was successfully launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base on April 15, 1999. LANDSAT 7 satellite is equipped with Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), the successor of TM. The observation bands are essentially the same seven bands as TM, and the newly added panchromatic band 8, with a high resolution of 15m. But it's not just biodiversity that satellites are aiding. Ever since the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) together with the United States Geological Survey launched the world's first Landsat satellite in 1972, a continual stream of data on everything from deforestation to glacier retreat to weather patterns has been recorded and archived, providing an incredibly. Landsat 1: First Earth Views NASA's Earth Observatory The first fully operational Landsat image taken on July 25, 1972, inaugurating a 40-year run when the first satellite was known as the Earth.
Il satellite Landsat-1 fu chiamato Earth Resources Technology Satellite , a cui seguirono altri 7 lanci per un totale di 8 satelliti. Landsat-6 sfortunatamente fallì la messa in orbita. I satelliti Landsat-4 e Landsat-5 furono equipaggiati con un MSS e un MSS potenziato che prende il nome di Thematic Mapper (TM) The land-observing satellite was supposed to work for five years. Now, more than 20 years later, Landsat 7 is still going strong. In April 2021, the satellite marked its 22nd year of serving as a set of eyes on our home planet, documenting Earth's splendors such as the expansion of cities and calamities like volcanic eruptions and historic wildfires

It produces images of the Earth that cover an area of about 34,000 square kilometers (about 13,000 square miles) with a resolution of about 80 meters (260 feet)
The Landsat satellite data is one of the many sources of information available for a scene. The interpretation of a scene by integrating spatial data of diverse types and resolutions including multispectral and radar data, maps indicating topography, land use etc. is expected to assume significant importance with the onset of an era. The sensor on the Landsat satellite makes observations of light reflected from the Earth in both visible and infrared (invisible) wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. So with Landsat, we can see more about nature than we can when we use our eyes alone. The false color Landsat image your teacher will give you shows information in some. 3.1.6. Landsat Satellite ¶ Landsat is a set of multispectral satellites developed by the NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration of USA), since the early 1970's. Landsat images are very used for environmental research Landsat satellites image the entire Earth every 16 days in an 8-day offset. Landsat 7 acquires data in descending (daytime) node, while Landsat 8 acquires data in both descending and occasional ascending (nighttime) node. Return to the Landsat Acquisition page. View Landsat 7 or 8 paths scheduled for acquisition on any day. Select a satellite
If you want to georeference other data (another raster perhaps?) using the Landsat images as a reference map to extract GCP, thats a whole different case: remember that Landsat images have a rather large pixel size (15m pan, 30m multispectral) so accuracy of ground control points for georeferencing is rather low Answer: The correct answer is B. Landsat is the oldest existing satellite program in the world, since it was inaugurated in 1972 by NASA. As of today, 8 satellites of this type have been launched, which have the task of collecting images that allow to gather information applicable to defense, communications, agriculture, meteorology and various other natural sciences The Landsat program, started in 1972, is one of the mainstays of NASA's earth-observation program. The Multispectral Scanner is one of the original Landsat imaging sensors and has flown on Landsat satellites 1 through 5. The MSS stopped acquiring images in 1992 because of improved data available through the Thematic Mapper
. At that time the satellite was known as ERTS-1 (Earth Resources Technology Satellite) yet was later re-named Landsat-1. In January of 1975 and March of 1978 two additional satellites with similar sensors, Landsat-2 and -3, were successfully launched - LANDSAT L2A : surface reflectance Landsat data are systematically produced and distributed over France, since 2009. - SPOT (Take5) : SPOT4 and SPOT5 satellites, at the end of their operational life, were used to produce time series of images above 190 sites, with a repetitivity of 5 days, similar to the repetitivity that will be provided.
The after image is from Landsat 8, the latest satellite. Some features change between these satellites, but in general the Landsat program maintains as much consistency as possible, which makes this kind of comparison possible. Landsat's imaging process The paper discusses the method of pretreatment and correction of Landsat 8 satellite images, which can be applied almost without changes to images of the area obtained at another time. Based on the corrected data, classes were identified and compared with the corresponding type of territory by spectral responses
The Curse of the Consummate Customer. Maxar is the largest commercial satellite imagery vendor in the United States, and probably the largest imagery-focused company in the world. Like a twin absorbing all of the nutrients in the womb, Maxar (DigitalGlobe at the time) devoured its rival, GeoEye, in the Great Merger of 2012 ™ after the. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object, in contrast to in situ or on-site observation. The term is applied especially to acquiring information about the Earth and other planets. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography, land surveying and most Earth science disciplines (for example. The Landsat satellites make loops around the Earth and are constantly collecting images of the surface through the use of a variety of sensing devices.. Landsat satellite imagery and BIL information are used in RS Landsat.In one format, using BIL, pixel values from each band are pulled out and combined. Programs that use this kind of information include IDRISI, GRASS, and MapFactory Satellite data of forest change and loss is the first step in the process. acquired December 2001 - December, 2015 One recent WRI analysis combined Landsat imagery with economic and land-use data to parse the impact of seven different commodities on forests around the world
Many sensors acquire data at different spectral wavelengths. For example, Landsat 8's band one acquires data at 0.433-0.453 micrometers and MODIS's band one acquires data at 0.620-0.670 micrometers. Landsat 8 has a total of 11 bands whereas MODIS has 36 bands, all measuring different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) images consist of eight spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 30 meters for Bands 1 to 7. The resolution for Band 8 (panchromatic) is 15 meters. All bands can collect one of two gain settings (high or low) for increased radiometric sensitivity and dynamic range, while Band 6 collects both high and low gain for all scenes Performing data normalization on satellite imagery (Landsat , ASTER, Sentinel) is necessary for correcting satellite image observations to a uniform nadir view (primarily for visual consistency.
I had an extensive talk with my professor about this. The reason for this tilting/rotation is the USGS satellite imagery is already geocoded (Geocoding is the process of transforming a description of a location—such as a pair of coordinates, an address, or a name of a place—to a location on the earth's surface) or you may say the geometric distortions have already been rectified GPS LANDSAT-9 RADARSAT-2 NOAA GOES What is passive sensing? Group of answer choices 2.Where information is recorded just from the sunlight bouncing off objects. Where the satellite or aircraft produces or beams a signal towards the object or land Landsat Program. The Landsat program is the longest running project for acquisition of repetitive multispectral data of the Earth's surface. The first Landsat satellite was launched in 1972 and the most recent one (Landsat 7) in 1999. Landsats 1-3 covered the Earth every 18 days Earth observation satellites repeatedly gather images of every location on the planet so we can see how places change over time. For example, Sentinel-2 satellites fly over locations at least every 5 days, and Landsat satellites fly over once every 16 days. Farmers and analysts can measure how crops are developing in places like Bakersfield. As of 2016, NASA listed 25 ongoing satellite missions on its website, including CALIPSO (which studies how clouds and aerosols interact); Nimbus (a long-running scientific study of weather and climate using satellite data); and, the longest-running and perhaps best known scientific satellites of all-time, Landsat, a series of eight satellites.
The Landsat 8 satellite circles the earth in a near polar orbit. See this YouTube video to see an animation of the orbit of Landsat 7 which is identical to Landsat 8 but offset by 8 days. The. The Landsat satellite imagery captures different ranges of wavelengths on the electromagnetic spectrum, including some that are invisible to the human eye. Each range is stored separately in a spectral band and is particularly good at highlighting a type of landscape feature or property. The bands are described in the following table
All Landsat satellites are placed in near-polar, sun-synchronous orbits. The first three satellites (Landsats 1-3) are at altitudes around 900 km and have revisit periods of 18 days while the later satellites are at around 700 km and have revisit periods of 16 days. All Landsat satellites have equator crossing times in the morning to optimize. In the early years of the Landsat program (1970s), whole years would pass when the satellite could not collect any clear images of some parts of the basin. The curse of cloud cover long made it complicated for cartographers to define the edges of biomes and to categorize land cover or land use—tropical rainforests vs. savanna; primary vs. Landsat 1-3: 907-913 km, Landsat 4-7 705 km Orbithöhe Quasipolarer, sonnensynchroner Orbit mit 99,2° Inklination (Landsat 1-3) bzw. 98,2° (Landsat 4-7). Das bedeutet, dass jedes Gebiet immer zur gleichen Uhrzeit überflogen wird
Landsat Collections. Landsat, a joint program of the USGS and NASA, has been observing the Earth continuously from 1972 through the present day. Today the Landsat satellites image the entire Earth's surface at a 30-meter resolution about once every two weeks, including multispectral and thermal data. Landsat data is available in Earth Engine in. After four decades of advancing technology, Landsat 8 now collects data almost continually around the globe. After just 4.5 years in orbit, Landsat 8 has already contributed a million scenes to the archive. And data from Landsat 9 is on the horizon, as the satellite is slated for a December 2020 launch The Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) is scheduled to launch in February 2013. The new satellite—unofficially known as Landsat 8—will continue the Landsat objective of providing synoptic, seasonal, medium-resolution multispectral observations of the global land surface IKONOS Satellite Sensor (0.82m) The IKONOS satellite sensor is a high-resolution satellite operated by DigitalGlobe. Its capabilities include capturing a 3.2m multispectral, Near-Infrared (NIR) 0.82m panchromatic resolution at nadir. Its applications include both urban and rural mapping of natural resources and of natural disasters, tax mapping.
The LANDSAT C earth resources satellite has a near-circular orbit with an eccentricity of 0.00132. At perigee, the satellite is at an altitude (measured from the earth's surface) of 417 km. Calculate its altitude at apogee The false-color images above were captured by the Landsat 1, 4, and 7 satellites. The Multispectral Scanner System on Landsat 1 acquired the top image on September 15, 1972. The middle image was acquired on August 27, 1989, by the Thematic Mapper on Landsat 4. The third image is from the Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus on Landsat 7 on October 11.
NASA-USGS Landsat 8 Satellite Pinpoints Coldest Spots on Earth It is a high ridge in Antarctica on the East Antarctic Plateau where temperatures in several hollows can dip below minus 133.6 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 92 degrees Celsius) on a clear winter night Here we are using the Landsat image acquired from USGS Earth Explorer. The data is in GeoTiff format with 16 bit radiometric resolution (ranges from 0-65535). Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) images consist of nine spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 30 meters for Bands 1 to 7 and 9
The Landsat Program is a series of Earth-observing satellite missions jointly managed by NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Landsat satellites have been consistently gathering data about our planet since 1972. They continue to improve and expand this unparalleled record of Earth's changing landscapes for the benefit of all Of course there are commercial satellites with better than 1 meter resolution but I wanted to concentrate on satellite data that is openly available for everyone. e.g. Landsat 7 & 8. You will use imagery from the USGS Landsat program to create georeferenced composite images that prioritize the natural look of land and water.. Landsat imagery is particularly appropriate for this use case because the program has been continually acquiring images of the Earth's surface for nearly 50 years, at a high enough spatial resolution to capture significant changes at the landscape scale Remote sensing data can be derived from satellite images, drones, and other platforms. Normally, the RS data are acquired from the accessible source that is free for the public. One of the most used satellite imagery is Landsat. Before using the satellite image, the raw image does not really reflect the actual data on the ground If you want to georeference the Landsat images themselves, they should have a native georeference so you might have no correct data or files. If you want to georeference other data (another raster perhaps?) using the Landsat images as a reference map to extract GCP, thats a whole different case: remember that Landsat images have a rather large pixel size (15m pan, 30m multispectral) so. Satellite data. Landsat-8 is a NASA satellite which captures data in 7 bands at a ground resolution of 30 meters per pixel. It has a revisit time of 16 days.

A charter plane left Dunedin, New Zealand, one night in March 2017, and flew close to the Antarctic Circle to give the eager passengers an up-close look at the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights.
Otago Museum Director Ian Griffin came up with the idea. An astronomer, Griffin said he was inspired after seeing the Southern Lights while flying as a guest on a NASA observatory plane. He says the 134 seats on the chartered Boeing 767 sold out within five days and one man travelled from Spain for the trip. He says he could have filled the plane several times over, although they were only selling window seats and seats immediately adjacent, leaving the middle of the aircraft empty.
“I thought it was absolutely brilliant,” Griffin said. “We were right under it. There were beautiful streamers, auroral streamers. This green-coloured stuff that moves quickly, it looks like you’re looking into a green, streaky river.”
The aurora is caused by particles from the sun interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field.
Griffin said the plane travelled to more than 60°S and offered about five hours viewing time. He said he chose a day close to the equinox and when the moon phase would allow maximum darkness. One seat cost $2,000 New Zealand dollars, double that for business class.
Griffin said he’s thinking about another trip next year. Because the Boeing 767 is being decommissioned and the trip proved so popular, he said he may seek a larger jet. | aerospace |

We started as a small group who got together to design and build small rockets to send cameras up for great images.
When you here the words space travel, you think of rockets, the united states and even very complicated science. Here at Project Apollo we are going to add the words Great Britain to that.
project apollo has a goal of sending a manned space craft over 100km up into space and we want you to be part of that. We wont say its going to be easy but rocket science isnt as hard as people may think, after all , when you drive a car it doesnt just get you there, alterations have to be made on the way to get there. Space flight is the same but with the extra dangers of breaking down. A rocket has a engine that burns fuel the same as a car engine, they just work in different ways.
Please read through our website and see how we aim to make this work, and if its for you, join us.
We have had many successful projects and our fair share of not so cheer worthy events, but with careful planning we are now achieving our goals every launch.
It's old fashioned now, but we do what we say we're going to do. Plain and simple. Our main goal is based on old technology because it worked,we simply add modern conponents.
When you're dealing with a million moving pieces, your tools can be the difference between moving forward and spinning your wheels. At project apollo, we're continually finding the best new technology.

During his sophomore year, the roles switched when his dad began to watch him take the lead.
“When I was very little, I remember my grandpa taking me out there in a small little plane, and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, one person can pilot this amazing machine that can fly in the sky.’ I remember looking down at the window and seeing everything,” Schafsteller said.
Every so often as a child, Schafsteller’s dad would take him out on plane rides to show him how it works.
“We would go up in a small plane once in a while and he would just show me the ropes on how to fly a plane. We wouldn’t go real high, just under 5,000 feet. We’d have some fun and he would do some maneuvers. We would fly around and maybe go over to some other airport to grab some lunch. It was a really cool experience and at the time, I didn’t realize that every other kid wasn’t doing the same thing,” Schafsteller said.
Flying planes runs in Schafsteller’s family as his dad is a pilot and his grandfather represented a top position for United Airlines. His mom used to work for Boeing which is a military and commercial airline company that makes airplanes. His step-dad currently works there as well.
“I’d say that my mom and step-dad make the planes and my dad flies them,” Schafstellar said.
At the beginning of his sophomore year, he began flying. Around February that year, he was able to fly around the pattern on his own. The pattern is an area at the airport where you fly in circles until you’re ready to land. By the summer, he began going up in the air on his own to other airports.
Schafsteller currently does not have his private pilot license yet, so while he can fly on his own, he needs to ask for permission from a licensed flight instructor. By the end of this summer, he will be able to obtain his license and rent or own a plane by himself.
In order to earn his private pilot license, he has to have a certain amount of hours by himself and cross country hours. Cross country hours are hours spent flying from one airport to another. He also has to pass a written test. Once he passes the written test, he will be interviewed by a flight instructor as his oral test. Then, for 5 or 6 hours, he would go up in a plane and fly with the instructor to do maneuvers and the necessities that a private pilot would have to do.
To practice for his written tests, Schafsteller uses an app that has similar questions that will be asked on the actual test. Schafsteller also takes flight lessons in Doylestown weekly.
“There’s so much to learn about flying. I’m just learning the basic parts. You have to learn instrument flying which is flying in bad weather when you can’t see. There’s commercial flying and optional things like learning to teach others. What [his flight instructors] are teaching me right now is longer flights and cross country, ” Schafsteller explained.
Most of the time he’s flying with someone else, but when he goes to practice the things he’s learned during one of his lessons, he is on his own.
Because he has to balance school and sports, Schafsteller goes out to fly once or twice a week on the weekends. During the summer, he can fly up to 3 or 4 times a week.
The best part about flying for Schafsteller is the freedom. For the most part, he can go wherever and whenever he wants. So far, he’s flown nearly 100 times.
“The freedom is the best part about flying a plane. I can go anywhere and I can go how high I want. I can do turns and see whatever landscape I want. I’m controlling the plane by myself. I’m there by myself controlling this amazing machine that nobody else thought that they could do. Flying a plane is just the coolest thing and doing it by yourself is so much better,” Schafsteller said.
“It’s an amazing feeling looking over and seeing nobody else in the airplane and thinking this is all up to me now. I can do this all by myself,” Schafsteller added.
Unlike driving a car, Schafsteller has to spend hours on the ground before he can go up in the air. Most accidents are unexpected when driving a car, but on a plane, you can plan for what could happen and prepare for it. Schafsteller has to read off of a checklist before he begins flying. He has to think about flying, descending, maintaining a certain flight level, other planes, communicating with others, and the location he’s in. And that’s only part of it.
While he’s flying, he has to communicate with air traffic control (ATC). To Schafsteller, you almost have to speak another language in order to properly and efficiently communicate well with them. Depending on where he’s going, the communication varies. If he’s practicing, there’s not much communication necessary. If he’s traveling to another place or airport, there’s much more communication.
During the summer, Schafsteller and his dad owned a plane that they picked up from Des Moines, Iowa and flew it to Hatfield, Pennsylvania.
“That was the longest flight I think I’ve ever done. We had to stop in the middle of the night to rest for that flight and pick up the next day. Between that flight and our last flight with the plane, we flew all the way to Myrtle Beach,” Schafsteller said.
The longest flight on his own was when he flew from Doylestown Airport to Hazelton. He went from Doylestown to Lancaster to Hazelton and then back to Doylestown which makes a triangle.
Schafsteller and his dad spent the summer going to different places every week.
“My brother told me one time that he wanted to go to the beach, so we flew all the way down to Virginia. I’ve taken friends to Long Island and we’ve flown around Niagara Falls. One day we really wanted some good ice cream, so we flew up to Penn State and went to the creamery up there. While I was flying over the summer, I took the whole family with me. In retrospect, it was one of the coolest summers I’ve ever had,” Schafsteller said.
Schafsteller always knew that he wanted to become a pilot after watching his dad fly planes all throughout his life.
“I love hearing him talk about that and his piloting stories and his near-death experiences that are greatly exaggerated. I told him that at the beginning of my sophomore year, I would try [flying] out, and I went up and flew a plane. It was my first solo flight when I realized this is awesome,” Schafsteller said.
In addition to wanting to be a pilot because of his dad, he wants to be a pilot for the great experiences he can have.
“My dad has this joke where he tells people he was just in Switzerland and he went mountain hiking and did all these cool things. And then he says, ‘You know what I call that? I call that Tuesday.’ He goes on these amazing experiences or once in a lifetime things every week. He has the opportunity to take his family out to cool places and it’s absolutely nuts,” Schafsteller said.
Once he becomes a pilot, Schafsteller hopes to go to Paris. His dad has never taken him to Paris because the flights are always full. When the flights have leftover seats, his dad gets to take his family to those places.
“I would also like to revisit the places I’ve been to as a child and explore the places in the world that I’ve never been to before. There are all these amazing things and cultures that I have yet to experience and I think that as a pilot, I’ll be able to do all of those things,” Schafsteller said.
Other than flying, Schafsteller does track and field and cross country. Running is a year-round activity for him. In the summer and fall, he has cross country and in the winter and spring, he has track.
“For running, [the boys track team] qualified for New Balance Nationals. Me and three other guys were ready to go, however, due to COVID-19, it got cancelled. Our biggest meet of our last winter season was when we got 3rd in states. We just got a notice from New Balance Outdoor Nationals that invited us to their competition in June or July depending on how long quarantine goes on,” Schafsteller said.
For most people, they view cross country and track as constant pressure and pain, but for Schafsteller, he sees it as a stress reliever.
“It is the most individual team sport there is. While you’re running by yourself, it really is a team sport. You’re with other people, socializing with other people, and doing the workouts with other people. As you’re hurting together doing these workouts, you get to know these people so much better than anyone else. You’re seeing them hurt worse than they ever could be and that is a bond that is so strong. I’ve made so many friends through cross country and track. My social life revolves around cross country and track and I don’t know what I would do without it,” Schafsteller said.
As for the future, he plans on majoring in aviation. His dream is to run and fly at college. His top 3 colleges are Embry-Riddle College in Daytona Beach, Florida, University of North Dakota, and Penn State because he would be a third generation Penn State student.
One thing flying has taught Schafsteller is time management.
“In a plane, things happen so fast. One thing you’re in the air and you’re getting ready to land and before you know it, you go through a million steps and mess up on the landing twice, but you somehow recover from it. I take that time management home and apply it to my daily living like homework and track. Being able to balance all these things at home is a lot easier now because of flying,” Schafsteller said.
“It’s also helped me deal with stress. I have to make sure I’m doing things perfectly all the time. I look back at it now and think if I can do all this stuff while flying a plane, I can get things done. While I do get stress when I’m flying, it’s a good type of stress. I take that home and think if I can do that, I can do anything,” Schafsteller added.
To Schafsteller, flying is an experience like no other.
“It’s an amazing experience. There’s absolutely nothing like it. There’s nothing else that can make me so scared, so stressed, and so afraid, but when I’m done, I think, ‘Wow, that was the coolest thing I’ve ever done.’ I’ve never been so scared of something and ready to do it again like that,” Schafsteller said. | aerospace |

Eagle Scout Portraits
Pictures of America’s Future Leaders
When we create portraits of Eagle Scouts, we understand the importance of creating these pictures of ‘America’s Future Leaders.’
‘Space-Where Eagles Soar’
From the US Scouting Service Project. “Of the 312 pilots and scientists selected as astronauts since 1959, at least 207 have been identified as having been Scouts or active in Scouting. The list includes 39 Eagle Scouts, 25 Life Scouts, 14 Star Scouts, 26 First Class Scouts, 17 Second Class Scouts, 13 Tenderfoot Scouts, 3 Explorers, 25 Cub Scouts, 10 Webelos Scouts, 1 King’s Scout, 2 Wolf Scouts, and 32 with unknown ranks, including 27 who were Girl Scouts.
“10 of the 12 men who physically walked on the moon’s surface,” were Scouts.
Of the 24 men to travel to the moon on the Apollo 9 through Apollo 17 missions , 21 were Scouts, including 10 of the 12 men who physically walked on the moon’s surface, and all three members of the crew of Apollo 13. Three traveled to the Moon twice.
All three of the astronauts who died in the Apollo 1 fire, four of the seven who died in the Challenger launch explosion, and five of the seven who died in the Columbia re-entry explosion were Scouts.”
It’s no surprise to us. After finishing a day of Eagle Scout portraits, we certainly feel we’ve met some of these young men, ‘America’s Future Leaders.’ | aerospace |

More than NOK 1 billion has been invested in the test site over 25 years, which Statoil has taken over and developed. This is now one of the world’s leading research centres of its kind.
It is now 18 months since Elkem Solar at Herøya – now known as REC Solar Norway – began producing silicon blocks, and since then the company has beaten production records, improved its technology and reduced costs. They have now set ambitious new targets – a 40 per cent production increased by 2020, at a lower production cost.
The landing of MSG’s Boeing 737 in front of 1200 curious onlookers at Geitryggen in Skien in January heralded the start of MSG founder Svein Gunnar Mæland’s concept for the aviation market, and the beginning of a new aviation industry in Grenland. | aerospace |

Voyagers is a science fiction novel about the unfavorable factors of intergalactic colonization. Its future takes place in a future where deep space exploration is possible but cryogenic freezing is impossible. Ergo is made up of 30 men and women who have performed multiple generations of flying missions to reach distant stars… At the same time, they are drugged to maintain obedience to their lives on the spacecraft. Even so, when these drugs have unpredictable side effects, we suspect that things will still have a more gender-equal version like “Lord of the Flies”.
This film is another film by writer and director Neil Burger. Its cast includes Tye Sheridan, Lily-Rose Depp, and Fionn Whitehead (Fionn Whitehead). ) And Colin Farrell. Therefore, it is hoped that it can land the plane. | aerospace |

This is a fragment of the meteorite Sayh al-Uhaimir 008 (SaU008), which is several million years old. It will become part of the calibration system for a new research laser within the framework of the mission of Mars-2020.
On the now-rougher red planet, the rovers Curiosity have a coin in one American penny in 1909. Along with the color palette and depth calibration templates, it is needed to adjust the instrument’s instruments. The first time it is conducted on the Earth on specific labels, and then they are sent to the mission along with the rover, so that at any time it was possible to calibrate the measuring instruments.
One of the useful devices Mars-2020 will be a laser scanner “SHERLOC” . It works with very large scaling and any interference becomes a problem. Therefore, scientists are so important to achieve an ideal calibration, for which they took an analog of what the tool will work on Mars – a fragment of the Martian meteorite.
The main task of the new scanner is to find carbon compounds that need to be made fluorescent in order to study the spectrogram and draw conclusions about the presence of organic matter in Martian rocks. It is important to learn how to work with the surface texture – having perfected the technology on Earth, NASA researchers will send Sayh al-Uhaimir 008 to Mars to constantly recheck their findings. This sample is chosen because it is one of the few that is strong enough to survive the journey to Mars. | aerospace |

Tune in to NASA’s website and TV channels to see the final preparations and witness the launch.
Celebrity appearances like Jack Black, Chris Evans, and Keke Palmer and performances of Josh Groban and Herbie Hancock’s “The Star-Spangled Banner” and The Philadelphia Orchestra’s “America the Beautiful” and cellist Yo-Yo Ma are also a part of the show.
The 322-foot-high (98-foot-tall) stack consisting of Space Launch System rockets and the Orion spacecraft glows in the morning darkness at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The stack sits on historic Launchpad 39B, which previously lifted Apollo 10 and shuttle missions.
According to the latest forecast, weather conditions remain 80% favorable for a launch at the beginning of a window that opens at 8:33 and closes at 10:33.
But an offshore storm with the potential for lightning prevented the team from starting the fueling process, which was scheduled to begin at midnight, for more than an hour.
The team twice stopped filling the tank with liquid hydrogen due to an initial leak and pressure build-up, but tanking has resumed. The team will now assess whether the leak will remain and how it can be fixed.
Engineers are also working to find out what caused the 11-minute delay in communication between the Orion spacecraft and the ground system. This problem can affect the start of the terminal count or the countdown that starts when there are 10 minutes left on the clock before liftoff. But according to NASA, engineers feel better about figuring out the issue before the terminal count.
Artemis I launch Mission Overview
Artemis’s journey will last 42 days as it travels to the moon, loops around it, and returns to Earth — traveling a total of 1.3 million miles (2.1 million kilometers). On Oct. 10, the capsule will splash into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego. While the passenger list doesn’t include any humans, it does have passengers: three mannequins and a plush Snoopy toy will ride Orion.
The crew on Artemis Eye may seem a bit unusual, but they each serve a purpose. Snoopy will act as a zero gravity indicator — meaning that once he reaches the space environment, he will start floating inside the capsule.
The mannequins, named Commanders Munkin Campos, Helga, and Zohar, will measure deep space radiation so that future crews can sense and test new suits and shielding technology. A biology experiment carrying seeds, algae, fungi, and yeast has been embedded inside Orion to measure how life responds to this radiation as well.
Orion’s internal and external cameras will share images and video throughout the mission, including live views from the Callisto experiment, which will capture a stream of Commander Munikine Campos sitting in the commander’s seat. If you have an Amazon Alexa-enabled device, you can ask it about the location of the mission every day.

Two people died in a horrific accident when a private pilot practised landing his newly acquired Airbus Helicopters AS350B3 helicopter N711BE on a wheeled landing platform (or tow dolly) at McClellan-Palomar Airport, Carlsbad, CA on 18 November 2015.
The US National Transportation Board (NTSB) report that the pilot had practised several landings in a field before returning to the airport, “where the approach and hover taxi to the ramp were uneventful”. However:
In the weeks preceding the accident, the pilot had expressed concern to multiple flight instructors that he was having difficulty adjusting to the flight characteristics of the helicopter. In particular, he found dolly-landings challenging. Although the pilot had many years of experience flying a Bell 407 helicopter, there were two significant differences between the Bell 407 and the accident helicopter.
This change in visual reference would have been particularly significant during dolly landings, which require landing on a specific point directly below the pilot’s field of view.
The pilot had received about 11 hours of flight instruction in the helicopter, and, despite the fact that his instructors advised him not to fly without an instructor, he opted to fly with a passenger…on the accident flight. Although the passenger held a helicopter rating, he was not an instructor or professional helicopter pilot and had about 180 hours total in helicopters. Furthermore, it was likely that he had little or no experience in the accident helicopter make and model.
The NSTB say:
The pilot made a landing attempt on a dolly but landed only partially on the dolly, which caused the helicopter to pitch nose up and strike the ground with its tail.
The helicopter hit the dolly with such force that the dolly broke free from the chocks securing it and spun around. The helicopter climbed and spun upwards aggressively but stabilized after rotating 270° to the right. Ground crew personnel re-secured the dolly with chocks, and, after about 2 1/2 minutes, the pilot again attempted to land on the dolly, this time from the opposite direction. He made two unsuccessful attempts but was unable to maintain a stabilized approach each time.
The pilot persisted:
On his third attempt, he again landed partially on the dolly…
…and the helicopter rocked back and forth striking the ground with its tailskid…
The helicopter spun 180° to the left and pitched up steeply…
…and the tail rotor and vertical stabilizer struck the ground and separated.
The helicopter hit the ground left side low, bounced, and rotated another 360° before landing hard on its belly. The main rotor blades continued to spin and the engine continued to operate; the helicopter spun on its belly at a rate of about one revolution per second for more than 5 minutes, while gradually sliding about 530 ft along the ramp.
The tailboom and horizontal stabilizer then separated, and the helicopter violently rolled onto its side, shed its main rotor blades, and came to rest.
The helicopter was equipped with an Appareo Vision 1000 flight data monitor. The unit was capable of recording video, audio, GPS coordinates, and pitch, roll, yaw and acceleration data. Onboard video showed that the pilot became incapacitated during the final ground collision. The passenger remained conscious after the impact…but he eventually became incapacitated after about 2 minutes due to his injuries, the forces imposed by the spinning helicopter, or both.
The pilot was using two Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants simultaneously, which the NTSB comment…
…typically results in cognitive impairment which is magnified well beyond the simple addition of the effects, even when the amount of one of them may be low. Therefore, the pilot’s decision-making, judgement, and psychomotor performance were most likely impaired by the combination of CNS depressants, diphenhydramine and alprazolam. | aerospace |

at the Ethiopian Airlines Inaugural Flight to Chicago
O’Hare International Airport, Chicago
June 11, 2018
(As prepared for delivery)
I’m very happy to be here in Chicago after the historic and very pleasant inaugural flight between Addis Ababa and Chicago on Ethiopian Airlines.
Congratulations to Ethiopian Airlines, Ato Tewolde Gebremariam, and his entire Ethiopian Airlines team, to Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the City of Chicago, and O’Hare International Airport, on the inauguration of this latest link between two vibrant cities and two great countries.
Chicago is one of America’s largest and most dynamic cities, with an incredible history to match.
It’s particularly appropriate to add this destination to Ethiopian Airlines’ fast-growing network, because Chicago played host to a key figure in Ethiopian Airlines’ history.
Colonel John C. Robinson, an African American pilot in the early days of aviation, was the first black student at the Curtiss-Wright School of Aviation in Chicago.
Initially denied entry to the school because of his race, John Robinson took a job as a janitor at the school so he could listen in on classes.
He learned so quickly and so well that he convinced the school to change their policies and accept him as a student.
Fast forward a few years, and Col. Robinson had started his own aviation academy for African Americans.
He was invited to Ethiopia at the start of World War II to help Ethiopia establish its own air force, and to support the Ethiopian resistance to the Italian invasion of their country.
Col. Robinson’s efforts attracted media attention back in the United States and helped remove barriers to African Americans serving in the U.S. military, paving the way for the Tuskeegee Airmen to fight with such valor during the war.
After the war, Col. Robinson returned to Ethiopia and helped found Ethiopian Airlines, which has grown to become Africa’s largest airline and one of the fastest-growing and most successful in the world.
The partnership that Col. Robinson pioneered is alive and well today.
The aircraft we arrived on this morning was manufactured by Boeing, as were nearly three-quarters of the aircraft in Ethiopian Airline’s growing fleet.
Over the years, Ethiopian Airlines has flown all of Boeing’s major models, a number of which were firsts for Africa.
Ethiopian Airlines was the first to offer jet service in Africa in 1962 with a B720, and much more recently it flew the first B787 Dreamliner in Africa (and the second in the world).
In addition to being a significant customer for Boeing, Ethiopian Airlines purchases a great deal of other U.S. aviation equipment and technology as well, including jet engines and navigation systems.
The U.S. Government greatly appreciates Ethiopian Airlines’ sustained investment in these commercial partnerships, and the value the airline places on U.S. leadership in aviation technology and innovation.
The new route we’re celebrating today will bring even more people from Ethiopia and Africa to enjoy everything that the great city of Chicago and the surrounding region have to offer.
It will help more Americans experience Ethiopia’s extraordinary historical, cultural, and natural riches, and will help more U.S. businesses connect to Ethiopia’s dynamically growing and diversifying economy.
Congratulations again on this wonderful occasion, and thank you for helping bring our two countries and these two dynamic cities even closer together. | aerospace |

I woke up, had a shower, got dressed and went down and had breakfast. This morning though, we found out how to make hot chocolates! I had a hot chocolate, froot loops, scrambled eggs, potatoes and some cranberry juice. It was yummy!
The first thing we did today was walk down to the Lincoln Memorial. We did, however, walk past the White House on the way. It was so surreal. It felt sort of like seeing the Mona Lisa. (See blog on the Louvre) There was a security guard standing on the roof so that was pretty funny. We walked down the streets throwing snowballs at one another on the way to the Memorial.
Once there, we went inside this Parthenon type thing which had a massive statue of Abe sitting in a chair. We had a look at the speeches which were engraved into the walls. That was all pretty cool. We then walked towards the Air and Space Smithsonian. We walked past a Korean War Memorial and the Washington Monument on the way.
Once inside, we first went into the Air section. This held heaps of cool models or actual planes and was pouring out with information. We got to design a war-plane, played on flight simulators and and an all-round ball. I then went on an ok but not fantastic flight simulation. We flew in the Wright Brothers plane on a sort of Questacon roller-coaster type thing. It was not that good.
Next, we went into the Planetarium for a show on Black Holes. It was really interesting and even had information on black holes that i did not yet know about. (This is not very often anymore because I watch heaps of videos on Black Holes) We then went to the food court for some lunch.
After the food court we went to the space area. This consisted of stuff on the planets in our Solar System, the Apollo program, the Space Race and much more. We even got to go inside a back-up Skylab! (American Space Station, get with the times!) there were some cool interactive activities and some really interesting facts. Overall, I enjoyed the space area more than the Air area. We left the Museum with 13000 steps under our feet and much more knowledge in our brains. We walked back to the hotel to reeeeelax.
We are now about to leave for dinner. L8R! | aerospace |

The PV90-3 uses a 12-pulse rectifier provides improved input harmonics and power factor without compromising robustness / reliability. Delivering a genuine 90kW output, the PV90-3 converter is compatible with all modern aircraft including Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner as well as next generation aircraft.
As airports and operators seek to minimise costs and pollution, the demand for fixed electrical ground powering of aircraft systems can only increase. Powervamp’s latest PV90-3 converter is designed to meet this demand by providing the ground power to run the electrical systems of the Boeing 787 and the next generation of aircraft.
The unique feature of the PV90-3 is the pluggable power module (as shown in the specification sheet). In the unlikely event of a system failure the 'Heart' of the machine can be easily replaced by front line maintenance staff in a matter of minutes.
The latest generation aircraft such as the Boeing 787 with electric air-conditioning packs and electric start can demand 90 kW from a 90 kVA FEGP installation. The use of on-board air-con can require this for extended periods. As airports and operators seek to minimise costs and pollution, the demand for fixed electrical ground powering of aircraft systems can only increase.
Powervamp’s latest PV90-3 Converter is designed to meet this demand by providing the ground power to run the electrical systems of the Boeing 787 and the next generation of aircraft. Continuously delivering a genuine 90 kW, (significantly more that the 90 kVA - 72 kW which is the generally quoted power), requires the generous sizing of electrical and electronic components and the ability to dissipate the heat generated at continuous full load.
Many competitors’ products are sized for short duration high output only, with some concentrating on size reduction at the expense of full load performance. Powervamp, through practical tests and operating experience, has taken a different approach.
As a manufacturer and exclusive provider of ground power at major air shows, Powervamp’s engineers have been uniquely placed to operate the company’s converters on all the world’s latest generation aircraft, gaining unrivalled data and experience while working alongside the airframe manufacturers’ test and field engineers. In this respect Powervamp is unique. The design of its latest 90 kW unit draws on the experience of its own ground handling team.

At all. I think about all the terrible things that could possibly happen while on air. And I imagine every bloody detail of how bad things could turn out. Some other times I just imagine that the plane goes missing, never to be found again. Like it happen to these 10 planes.
10 – Amelia Earhart’s disappearance
Amelia Earhart was an American aviator who set many flying records and championed the advancement of women in aviation. She became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and the first person ever to fly solo from Hawaii to the U.S. mainland. During a flight to circumnavigate the globe, Earhart disappeared somewhere over the Pacific in July 1937. Her plane wreckage was never found, and she was officially declared lost at sea.
9. Flight 19
The saga of Flight 19 remains as one of the most mysterious disappearances in Bermuda Triangle. Flight-19 was the code name for Five Avenger bomber planes that took off from the Naval base at Florida on 5th of December 1945, but never returned. U.S Navy’s final report mentioned “Reasons Unknown” when citing the cause of the incident. Thus Flight-19 also became known as The Lost Patrol.
8. The Flying Tiger
On March 16, 1962, the weather was as clear as the skies. The Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation was transporting 93 US soldiers and 3 South Vietnamese passengers from California to Vietnam. There were 11 crew members. No one from that flight was ever seen again. Eight minutes after the plane departed the Clark Air Base, the pilot radioed in his location and made no indication that anything was wrong aboard the plane. Future attempts to contact Flight 739 were met by radio silence and they were never heard from again.
The aircraft was declared missing that day, and an eight-day search for the missing flight ensued. Aircraft and ships from the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, and Marines were sent on the search. A total of 48 aircraft and 8 sea vessels were involved. In just the first two days, 75,000 square miles of the ocean were searched. By the end of the search, over 200,000 square miles were scoured for any wreckage, but nothing was found. The search was called off and all 107 aboard were assumed dead.
British South American Airways Lancastrian plane went missing on August 2, 1947, while finishing its final leg of a connecting flight from Buenos Aires to Santiago. Investigators and air-traffic control centers alike were mystified, as the last communication received by a Chilean Air Force operator was the cryptic message “STENDEC,” which was long believed to be mistyped. However, over 50 years later, in the late 1990s, pieces of wreckage began to emerge in the Andes Mountains, and in 2000 various body parts from the flight’s passengers were found, well-preserved by glacial ice. Despite the circulating rumors, ranging from alien abduction to Nazi spies and stolen gold, an in-depth investigation uncovered that inclement weather had caused the crash and determined that the most probable meaning of the strange communication was based on a WWII code, deciphered as “Severe Turbulence Encountered, Now Descending, Emergency Crash-landing.”
6. Star Ariel
Star Ariel was lost on January 17, 1949. Very little is known about what caused the loss of the British South American Airways (BSAA) aircraft and its 20 crew and passengers. Weather was excellent, visibility was good, and the pilots were experienced. The captain chose a high-altitude flight path to best take advantage of the excellent conditions. The flight was between Bermudaand Kingston, Jamaica.
Last contact with Star Ariel was made at 9:42 AM. Despite a large search operation headed by a US Navy task force, no traces of wreckage, fuel, debris, or bodies was ever found. As stated by the head of the inquiry tasked with finding a cause for the loss of the aircraft: “Through lack of evidence due to no wreckage having been found, the cause of the accident is unknown.
5. Transatlantic C-124 Flight
On the late afternoon of March 23, 1951, a US Air Force Douglas C-124 Globemaster II on its way to England ditched into the ocean. An explosion in the cargo hold and the ensuing fire forced the pilots to put the plane down in the Atlantic, a few hundred miles from Ireland. The exact location was radioed by the pilots, and the ditching itself was successful.
The 53 passengers and crew aboard the flight donned life preservers and climbed aboard well-equipped emergency rafts. A B-29 had already been en route with the intention of aiding the plane in its navigation to the nearest airfield. When it arrived at the location transmitted by the pilots, the crew of the B-29 observed the passengers and crew in their rafts. It seemed everyone was okay.
The B-29 then had to return to base, as it was running low on fuel. However, when rescue crews arrived, the plane and the stricken passengers had all disappeared without a trace. All that was left was a piece of charred plywood and a briefcase. Nobody knows what happened in those hours while help was on the way.
4. Frederick Valentich
On October 21, 1978, 20-year-old Frederick Valentich disappeared during a flight in his Cessna 182L. Frederick was widely described by friends and family as a “flying saucer enthusiast,” and during the doomed flight, he reported being accompanied by an unidentified aircraft.
As Frederick flew over the Bass Strait between Tasmania and mainland Australia, he radioed air traffic control just after 7:00 PM to report that he was being followed by an aircraft. Air traffic control responded, saying there was no known traffic nearby. Valentich described the aircraft as large and illuminated by four bright landing lights. It purportedly passed about 300 meters (1,000 ft) overhead and was moving at very high speed.
Finally, Frederick stated that the UFO was orbiting above him and had a shiny metal surface and a green light. Air traffic control asked him to identify the craft, to which Frederick responded, “It isn’t an aircraft,” before his transmission was interrupted by unidentified noise described as “metallic, scraping sounds.” Contact was lost at this point, and neither Valentich nor his plane were ever seen again.
3. 2016 Indian Air Force
On July 22, 2016, an Antonov An-32 twin-engine transport aircraft belonging to the Indian Air Force disappeared while flying over the Bay of Bengal. There were 29 people on board at the time: 23 passengers and six crew members.
Radar contact was lost at 9:12 AM, and the ensuing search and rescue operation would become the largest in Indian history. Sixteen ships, a submarine, and six aircraft were deployed to aid in the search in and around the Bay of Bengal. On September 15, 2016, the mission was called off, and all aboard were presumed dead.
On May 25, 2003, a Boeing 727, registered as N844AA, was stolen from Quatro de Fevereiro Airport in Angola. Shortly before sunset, two men boarded the aircraft: American pilot Ben Padilla and mechanic John Mutantu. Neither were certified to fly the 727, which normally flies with a flight crew of three. It is believed that Padilla was the one at the controls. The aircraft made its way onto the runway without clearance and without communicating with the control tower. With its lights switched off and a few erratic maneuvers, the plane thundered down the runway and took off, heading southwest over the ocean.
Since then, neither the two men nor the aircraft have been seen. The disappearance of N844AA prompted a worldwide search by the FBI and the CIA. Despite this, no trace of the aircraft has ever been found.
Malaysian Airlines flight 370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. A total of 227 passengers and 12 crew members were aboard the Boeing 777, and the most expensive search operation in aviation history ($130–160 million) failed to turn up any evidence of the large aircraft. Some small pieces of the wings have washed up on various islands since the crash as well as a damaged briefcase believed to be related to the incident. At present, however, the plane has not been found, and the cause of the crash is unknown.
Verbal communication with the aircraft’s two experienced pilots was lost at 1:19 AM. At 1:21 AM, the aircraft’s transponder ceased to function. The transponder allows the plane to be tracked on radar by air traffic control. Despite the lack of a functioning transponder, the plane was still tracked by military radar, turning right and then left at an erratic altitude. Once it had left the airspace trackable by Malaysian military radar, the aircraft automatically responded to hourly status update requests from a satellite communication system. Two phone calls to the cockpit at 2:39 AM and 7:13 AM went unanswered. The final status update, which took place at 8:10 AM (almost two hours after MH370 was meant to land in Beijing) was initiated by the aircraft, as opposed to the ground station.
There are only a few reasons the plane would initiate this communication itself: power failure, critical component failure, loss of altitude, or fuel exhaustion. (The latter is the most likely scenario.) The status update would be the last communication from MH370, before it is presumed to have crashed at high speed into the Indian Ocean. | aerospace |

Calgary envisioned the ability to accommodate large Boeing 777 planes and Airbus A 380's. Engineering such runways because of high elevations with low air density Calgary built 14,000 ft long, 200 ft wide concrete runway, with parallel taxiway.
Hi-Lite was the winning bidder when it came installing the airfield markings according to the strict Trans Canada specifications. The job required multiple visits, long hours, and an expert field crew that could accomplish the job under a strict deadline of June 28, 2014. Painting and Preparing 14,000ft runway required thousands of gallons of paint and beads, all made quick work with use of Hi-Lite's specialized equipment. Hi-Lite being one of the many subcontractors coordination was vital to ensure safety and keep the project free of defects.
Aviation Specifications are consistently changing to make the airfield safer and more effective for pilots land and get passengers to the gate. Hi-Lite has expert project managers who are familiar with specs from ICAO, FAA, and Trans Canada providing expertise on ensuring airport compliance.
Hi-Lite ability to adjust the various weather constraints, coordination with other subcontractors, and meeting the needs of the airport all resulted into a successful project and happy customer. Hi-Lite has built an excellent relationship with Calgary Airport and is excited for upcoming jobs. | aerospace |

A domino effect occurred, a series of events that, as you can imagine, caused all sorts of problems for the pilot.
The incident occurred without much media coverage or public outcry about airline safety, perhaps because Qantas did everything right—both from a safety and PR perspective—to correct the situation, including replacing some of the Trent 900 engines, grounding planes for exhaustive safety checks, and flying its chief executive on a Sydney to London flight today as a sign of the airline’s commitment to safety.
In an act of good faith and PR suavity, Qantas flew its chief executive on the first flight by one of its super-jumbo jets since a midair engine explosion in early November triggered a safety review of the airline’s fleet.
But still, even Qantas admits there’s more work to do. The airline will eventually pursue compensation from Rolls Royce for the faulty engines and seek compensation for losses it suffered from grounding its fleet. And there’s the matter of redeploying its fleet of A380s that fly the Australia to Los Angeles route, currently one of the longest commercial flights in the world. Those flights are currently suspended while the airline tests whether the extra thrust required for takeoff on these routes creates too much stress on the engines.
In other words, the airline is keeping its fingers crossed that our desire (our need?) for long-haul world travel hasn’t exceeded its operational capacity.
Certainly it’s a question other airline executives must be asking themselves. As if the airline industry doesn’t have enough to worry about, now it can add “Stressed Out Engines” to its list of woes.
That’s because the A380s that fly these long-haul flights must load up on more fuel than other flights if the airplane is expected to make it across an ocean. The planes, therefore, are heavier at take off and require more thrust in order to get the bird in the sky. Qantas insists the Trent 900 engines are up for the challenge, and claims the suspension of these flights is only precautionary.
But even if the engines are manufactured correctly and the airline follows all the rules and adheres to strict safety protocols, there’s no denying that outside factors are starting to affect airlines’ ability to carry us safety around the world.
I’m talking about our insistence on packing our entire closet in our luggage.
How many times have you seen someone wheeling a ginormous “carry on” bag onto an airplane and wondered how on earth an airline employee didn’t question it? Or stood speechless at the check-in counter as the family in front of you checked, like, ten bags? I know that’s happened to me on several occasions and frankly, it’s selfish of my fellow passengers and it’s unfair that airlines aren’t doing more to stop it.
I know the airlines have instituted fees for checked luggage in an effort to discourage people from bringing too much stuff (and okay, to make money for the financially strapped companies), but so far all the fees have proven is that people will gladly whip out their wallets if it means they can still pack eight pairs of shoes. We Americans don’t want anyone telling us what to do, least of all dictating what we take with us on vacation, so if we have to pay a little bit extra for the right to exercise that freedom, then so be it.
And therein lies the problem: At some point, it becomes a safety issue. If every passenger on a full flight checked just one bag that was “only” ten pounds over the weight limit, that’s thousands of extra pounds on that already heavy flight.
Sure, Qantas says the extra weight—in their case because of extra fuel—was okay and didn’t effect the airplane, but what’s the tipping point? When will extra weight be too much weight? At what point will airplanes simply be too fat to fly?
There’s nothing us average passengers can do about the extra fuel required to fly us on super-long flights; that’s up to the airline industry and its suppliers to sort out. But we can help control the excess weight of the airplanes that we board.
The next time you’re preparing for a flight, stop and think about what you’re packing. Seriously people, do you need four bags’ worth of stuff for your extended weekend jaunt to Florida? I understand that international--and extended--travel requires more luggage than usual, but let’s do our part to make our flights less hefty by carrying less stuff.
I promise you, there are washers and dryers wherever you’re going. And if not, there’s always the hotel bathroom sink. | aerospace |

Cost of Attending a Flight Academy
The cost of attending a flight academy can be expensive, but there are many benefits to consider. The average flight school tuition is around $15,000, but it can range from $10,000 to $30,000. The price may seem high at first glance, but when you consider the potential earnings of a professional pilot, it is a small price to pay. A pilot’s salary can range from $50,000 to over $100,000 per year, and the job outlook for pilots is very positive. There are many financial aid options available to help offset the cost of attendance, and many airlines offer tuition reimbursement programs. When you compare the cost of attending a flight academy to the potential earnings of a professional pilot, it is clear that the investment is well worth it.
Types of Programs Offered at a Flight Academy
There are many different types of programs offered at flight academies, so it is important to do your research to find the one that best suits your needs and goals. The most common type of program is the Private Pilot License (PPL), which allows you to fly a single-engine aircraft for personal use. If you want to pursue a career in aviation, you will need to obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL), which allows you to fly multi-engine aircraft and carry passengers or cargo for compensation. Other popular programs include the Instrument Rating (IR) and Multi-Engine Rating (MER), both of which are necessary for flying in inclement weather conditions. There are also specialty programs available at some flight academies, such as those that focus on aerial photography or agricultural flying.
Eligibility Requirements for Attending a Flight Academy
There are a few key eligibility requirements that you must meet in order to attend a flight academy. Firstly, you must be at least 18 years of age and hold a high school diploma or equivalent. Secondly, you must have a valid driver’s license and be able to pass a medical exam. You must be able to commit to the training schedule and financial investment required to attend a flight academy.
If you meet all of the above eligibility requirements, then attending a flight academy can be an excellent way to become a pilot. Flight academies provide comprehensive training that covers all aspects of flying, from aircraft systems and procedures to meteorology and navigation. You will also get invaluable experience flying in different types of weather conditions and environments.
Examples of Successful Pilots Who Attended Flight Academies
There are many examples of successful pilots who attended flight academies. One such example is Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. Armstrong began his flying career at an aviation school in Purdue University. He went on to become a test pilot for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and then an astronaut for NASA. Other notable pilots who attended flight academies include Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn, and Chuck Yeager.
These examples show that attending a flight academy can lead to a successful career in aviation. Flight schools provide students with the necessary training and skills to become safe and competent pilots. They also instill discipline and a strong work ethic, which are essential qualities for any successful individual.
Tips for Choosing the Right Flight Academy for You
There are a few key factors to consider when choosing a flight academy. The first is the location of the academy. You’ll want to make sure it’s in a location that is convenient for you to get to and from. The second is the cost of attendance. Make sure you understand the financial obligation you’re taking on before making any commitments. The third is the curriculum. Each academy has their own way of teaching, so you’ll want to make sure the one you choose aligns with your learning style. Consider the extracurricular activities each academy offers. Some have more comprehensive programs than others, so find one that fits your needs and interests outside of flying.
Learning to become a pilot is an exciting journey, and attending a flight academy can provide many benefits. From the expertise of professional instructors to the expansive aircraft fleet available for practice, flight academies offer aspiring pilots an unparalleled opportunity to gain their pilot’s license with confidence. With all these advantages, it’s no wonder why so many people choose to attend a flight academy when pursuing their dreams of becoming pilots. | aerospace |

The balloons fly at altitudes ranging between 2, 000 ft and 4, 000 ft, high enough to give you some idea of terrain, and yet low enough for you to discern features on the ground. Imagine flying over Jaisalmer Fort, over the desert, and then landing on the dunes at Sam for tea and snacks two hours later. If the thought of flying suspended from a large balloon for two hours induces queasiness, you can opt for a shorter tethered flight of 200 ft. It’s also possible to combine flights with camel and jeep safaris-fly for a few hours, then take a camel or a jeep.
Tarif:Rs.32, 000 for three people for a two-hour trip. Tethered flights are cheaper-prices depend on the size of the group. Contact: Wanderlust Travels 011 – 29228483 Website : www.wanderlustindia.com | aerospace |

Ten years later, it was critical technology for America’s space shuttle.
Today, the technology called “friction stir welding” is widely used to join aluminum alloy components – particularly in the transportation field where alloys save weight and weight costs money.
“Anything light that travels – trains, boats, cars, planes,” explained Jonathan Martin of The Welding Institute of Cambridge, England.
Martin is organizer of an international friction stir welding conference that opened Tuesday at the Von Braun Center. About 250 scientists and engineers from 22 countries will spend the week learning new developments in tool design, modeling and other aspects of the welding technique.
Marshall Space Flight Center Acting Director Gene Goldman addressed the conference Tuesday, which concludes Friday with a tour of Marshall’s high-bay welding facility.
That facility is where NASA is developing and testing welding techniques for assembling the core section of its upcoming heavy-lift rocket.
Tuesday morning, NASA friction stir welding expert Jon Street and Greg Riddle, lead engineer for Boeing’s stir-welding team in Huntsville, gave an early tour of the facility.
Friction stir welding joins pieces of metal together by a deceptively simple technique. Patented clamps – key to the operation – hold the plates together while a rotating steel rod penetrates the plates at the seam and moves along the seam “stirring” the plates together. The two plates aren’t melted together but they are fused in a way that creates a joint of incredible strength and flexibility.
“No filler wire, and no gas,” Street said, to mention just two of the advantages over traditional fusion arc welding techniques.
Goldman told the conference that the technique, which NASA adapted and used for the first time in 1995, saved money and increased quality in the production of space shuttle external tanks.
The technique “had high reliability, a low number of defects and gave us a practically perfect weld,” Goldman summarized.
NASA’s facility at Marshall has developed the technique so well now that commercial space companies such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Lockheed, Dynetics and Aerojet are following its work.
For NASA, friction stir welding’s next big challenge is assembling the core fuel tanks for the heavy-lift rocket that flies for the first time in 2014.
Riddle and Street are working together with teams of scientists and technicians to meet that tight deadline.
“We’ll get there,” Riddle said, thanks in large part to friction stir welding. | aerospace |

Photos and description of the plane
“Allegiant Air” operates 55 aircrafts Airbus A320-200. In the beginning of the 1980’s consortium Airbus Industries has finished researches of narrow-bodied airplanes under codenames SA1, SA2 and SA3 in the frame of JET project.
After their results they preferred first two variants – SA1 (for 130-140 seats) and SA2 (for 150-160 seats). Later passenger capacity of both projects that got designations A320-100 and A320-200 correspondingly have equaled to 150 but they differed only with flying range and payload weight.
All 3 modifications (A320-110, A320-210 and A320-230) have some identical technical characteristics (wingspan – 34,09 meters, length of the airplane – 37,5 meters, height of the airplane – 11,76 meters, number of passengers in two classes – 150 persons, maximum number of passengers – 179), differing just in flying range that for A320-110 is 4900 kilometers, for A320-210 – 5180 kilometers and A320-230 – 5370 kilometers.

Why is America Sending an Aircraft Carrier Near North Korea?, National Interest, Kris Osborn, 12 Apr 17 “……….The Pentagon is also substantially increasing its arsenal of Ground Based Interceptors, or GBIs, currently stationed at Vandenberg AFB, Calif., and Ft. Greeley, Ala. The plan, first announced by former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel several years ago, aims to increase the number of GBIs to 44 by 2017. GBIs are interceptor missiles designed to shoot up into space and destroy approaching enemy ICBMs.
Mann praised the Army soldiers who work on GBI preparation, maintenance and operation at Ft. Greely, explaining how they endure difficult weather conditions to serve America better protect the U.S. homeland.
Multi-Object Kill Vehicle:
The Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency is in the early phases of engineering a next-generation “Star Wars”-type technology able to knock multiple incoming enemy targets out of space with a single interceptor, officials said.
“We will develop and test, by 2017, MOKV command and control strategies in both digital and hardware-in-the-Loop venues that will prove we can manage the engagements of many kill vehicles on many targets from a single interceptor. We will also invest in the communication architectures and guidance technology that support this game changing approach,” a Missile Defense Agency spokesman, told Scout Warrior last year.
Decoys or countermeasures are missile-like structures, objects or technologies designed to throw off or confuse the targeting and guidance systems of an approaching interceptor in order to increase the probability that the actual missile can travel through to its target.
If the seeker or guidance systems of a “kill vehicle” technology on a GBI cannot discern an actual nuclear-armed ICBM from a decoy – the dangerous missile is more likely to pass through and avoid being destroyed. MOKV is being developed to address this threat scenario.
The Missile Defense Agency has awarded MOKV development deals to Boeing, Lockheed and Raytheon as part of a risk-reduction phase able to move the technology forward, MDA officials said.
Steve Nicholls, Director of Advanced Air & Missile Defense Systems for Raytheon, told Scout Warrior last year that the MOKV is being developed to provide the MDA with “a key capability for its Ballistic Missile Defense System. The idea is to discriminate lethal objects from countermeasures and debris. The kill vehicle, launched from the ground-based interceptor extends the ground-based discrimination capability with onboard sensors and processing to ensure the real threat is eliminated.”
MOKV could well be described as a new technological step in the ongoing maturation of what was originally conceived of in the Reagan era as “Star Wars” – the idea of using an interceptor missile to knock out or destroy an incoming enemy nuclear missile in space. This concept was originally greeted with skepticism and hesitation as something that was not technologically feasible.
Not only has this technology come to fruition in many respects, but the capability continues to evolve with systems like MOKV. MOKV, to begin formal product development by 2022, is being engineered with a host of innovations to include new sensors, signal processors, communications technologies and robotic manufacturing automation for high-rate tactical weapons systems, Nicholls explained.
The trajectory of an enemy ICBM includes an initial “boost” phase where it launches from the surface up into space, a “midcourse” phase where it travels in space above the earth’s atmosphere and a “terminal” phase wherein it re-enters the earth’s atmosphere and descends to its target. MOKV is engineered to destroy threats in the “midcourse” phase while the missile is traveling through space.
An ability to destroy decoys as well as actual ICBMs is increasingly vital in today’s fast-changing technological landscape because potential adversaries continue to develop more sophisticated missiles, countermeasures and decoy systems designed to make it much harder for interceptor missile to distinguish a decoy from an actual missile.
As a result, a single intercept able to destroy multiple targets massively increases the likelihood that the incoming ICBM threat will actually be destroyed more quickly without needing to fire another Ground Based Interceptor.
Raytheon describes is developmental approach as one that hinges upon what’s called “open-architecture,” a strategy designed to engineer systems with the ability to easily embrace and integrate new technologies as they emerge. This strategy will allow the MOKV platform to better adjust to fast-changing threats, Nicholls said.
The MDA development plan includes the current concept definition phase, followed by risk reduction and proof of concept phases leading to a full development program, notionally beginning in fiscal year 2022, Raytheon officials explained.
MDA officials have told Scout Warrior that the MOKV program shows great promise for the future of missile defense technology.
While the initial development of MOKV is aimed at configuring the “kill vehicle” for a GBI, there is early thinking about integrating the technology onto a Standard Missile-3, or SM-3, an interceptor missile also able to knock incoming ICBMs out of space. The SM-3 is also an exo-atmopheric “kill vehicle,” meaning it can destroy short and intermediate range incoming targets; its “kill vehilce” has no explosives but rather uses kinetic energy to collide with and obliterate its target. The resulting impact is the equivalent to a 10-ton truck traveling at 600 mph, Raytheon statements said. http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/why-america-sending-aircraft-carrier-near-north-korea-20136?page=2

What Uber is suggesting in their 99 page white paper is a new form of on-demand, urban air transportation.
Using vertical take off and landing (VTOL) planes (pictured below), Uber aims to provide on-demand flights around and between urban centers.
Key quote from Wired's article on Uber's plans:
Within five years, according to the white paper, Uber expects the market to produce a fully electric, vertical-takeoff-and-landing plane that can fly 100 miles at about 150 mph, carrying multiple passengers and a pilot.
From a technology standpoint, this is very doable.
VTOL aircraft that can take-off, hover and land vertically have been around for decades. A Harrier VTOL Jump Jet (a military VTOL) even played a key role in the final scenes of Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1994 film True Lies.
So the technology is clearly there.
The bigger issues are costs, safety, noise and regulations.
Back in the 1980s urban commercial helicopter travel was somewhat common. For example, you could catch a helicopter from one the piers next to downtown San Francisco and fly to SFO airport in about 5 minutes. If you connected to a major airline and were paying full fare, they would even provide this service to you for no additional cost.
But a combination of factors ended these services.
First, helicopters are very noisy so no one wanted them landing or taking off anywhere near them. The second problem was safety.
Urban environments are not ideal places to be flying around at low altitudes. Not only are there a lot of things to run into, large buildings make for tricky and unpredictable winds.
There were a number of helicopter accidents back in the 1980s. This definitely reduced the places people were willing to let them take off and land from.
Cost also became an issue. With the deregulation of the airlines the helicopter trips became unbundled from airline tickets. Once people actually had to pay directly for the trips, business dried up for the helicopter services.
Uber addresses all these issues in their white paper.
Their specific argument is VTOL planes have advantages over helicopters, with the big one being noise. Uber plans to use electric VTOLs, which would be much, much quieter than helicopters.
But despite the arguments made in the white paper, safety concerns - including potential uses of these aircraft by criminals and terrorists - are still big issues. Cost will also likely be a problem.
We've been promised flying cars for a long time. In 1955, for example, Smithsonian Magazine forecast that atomic powered flying cars would be common by the year 2000.
So you'll have to excuse us if we're more than a bit skeptical that Uber will be commonly providing air taxi services within the next 5 years. | aerospace |

They spent Monday night at an airport hotel in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah in Mecca Province.
The travelers departed Jeddah International Airport on a replacement Air Seychelles plane on Tuesday morning that was flown in from Dubai.
The passengers were reportedly not allowed to leave their hotel rooms during the stay.
“I very much appreciate the warm attitude of the Saudi authorities toward the Israeli passengers whose plane was in distress and had to make an emergency landing,” said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video message on Tuesday that was subtitled in Arabic.
“I’m glad everyone is coming home. Thank you for the good neighborliness,” he added.
Details were emerging about the passenger list. Senior security officials on vacation were onboard Air Seychelles flight HM022, as well as close relatives of Otzma Yehudit lawmaker Almog Cohen.
The flight was forced to land due to an electrical problem, although the pilots did not declare an emergency touchdown. The passengers were then forced to wait on the plane for three hours.
“As soon as it was decided that we would stay here, we were received very well, we were treated amazingly. Everyone smiled and went out of their way to help, accompanied us to the hotel and arranged rooms for everyone,” Sharon Licht-Patern, one of the passengers, told Israeli media.
In July, 2022, Saudi Arabia announced the opening of its airspace to “all carriers,” paving the way for Israeli commercial airlines to overfly the kingdom and thereby drastically reduce flight times from the Jewish state to major destinations in Asia.
King Abdulaziz International Airport, also known as Jeddah International Airport, is a designated landing site for flights to Israel that encounter difficulties while overflying Saudi Arabia.
Israel is working on an agreement to allow direct flights for its Muslim citizens to travel to Mecca for the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
Last week, the Biden administration told the Israeli government that it would have to make considerable concessions to the Palestinians if a US-brokered normalization deal with Saudi Arabia is to materialize. | aerospace |

New guidelines for UFOs drafted by the U.S. Navy… I twice saw UFOs myself — and I really do mean unidentified — and, for that reason, I found this story interesting…
“The U.S. Navy is drafting new guidelines for pilots and other personnel to report encounters with ‘unidentified aircraft, a significant new step in creating a formal process to collect and analyze the unexplained sightings — and destigmatize them.
“The previously unreported move is in response to a series of sightings of unknown, highly advanced aircraft intruding on Navy strike groups and other sensitive military formations and facilities, the service says.
“‘There have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated air space in recent years,’ the Navy told POLITICO.
“‘For safety and security concerns, the Navy and the [U.S. Air Force] takes these reports very seriously and investigates each and every report.'”Full Story: U.S. Navy drafting new guidelines for reporting UFOs – POLITICO
Why the New Guidelines for UFOs Matter…
It’s personal and not just for me. As I wrote earlier, I saw two unidentified flying objects, but no one else reported them. That in spite of the fact that they flew straight over Manhattan.
Ridicule and other ways of diminishing honest reports means people keeping stories to themselves.
Better guidelines, respect for observers, leads to more and better reports. | aerospace |

Computer Crashes: When airplane systems fail (Paperback)
Imagine being in an aircraft at 30,000 feet when suddenly the plane pitches down and takes a nosedive towards the ocean. Or that the autopilot takes its own descending path against the will of the pilots and crashes at the end of the runway. Sounds like sci-fi? No, these events have already happened. And they are likely to occur more as the aircraft industry braces for a new era in air passenger transportation: unmanned flights.
Belgian journalist Tom Dieusaert investigated several high-profile accidents wherein the plane's on-board computers went crazy on the pilots: Air France Flight 447, AirAsia Flight Q8501, Lufthansa Flight 1829, Qantas Flight 72 and the Boeing 737 MAX disasters. Dieusaert has carried out an exhaustive probe into the world of modern aviation, flying laws and avionics and he introduces the reader to the subject with an enthralling tale of how the first fly-by-wire aircraft was conceived and how this technology gradually pushed pilots out of the cockpit.
Computer Crashes is a fascinating story... one you are not likely to read in your average on-board flight magazine. | aerospace |

To enhance the scientific and technological literacy of staff, improve the scientific cognition of aviation materials, and build a learning professional enterprise, on May 17, the Forging company held a lecture on "basic knowledge of airworthiness" in the exhibition hall of the Aviation Material Park. Ms. Hao Lian, an expert of Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute was invited here as the training lecturer. More than 70 senior managers, quality inspectors and technicians of the plate and strip division, aluminum company and forging company participated in the training. It is reported that the lecturer hired this time has been engaged in the research on aviation manufacturing and airworthiness requirements for many years. She is a senior expert in this field in China. At present, she is the airworthiness and four nature level II professional chief engineer of the aircraft design support Engineering Technology Institute of Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute. At the meeting, the lecturer explained the "basic airworthiness knowledge" in four aspects: civil aircraft development, airworthiness, airworthiness systems of major manufacturers and airworthiness requirements of suppliers. She also highlighted airworthiness and airworthiness systems of major manufacturers. According to the lecturer, the airworthiness management of civil aircraft is divided into two categories: initial airworthiness management and continuous airworthiness management. Initial airworthiness management is the control of design and manufacturing while continuous Airworthiness Management is that of use and maintenance. An aircraft engaged in international flight must also carry the aircraft registration certificate, aircraft airworthiness certificate and radio station license issued or approved by its state of registration. Through lectures and exchanges, the participants improved their understanding of the importance of process control, fully understood the technical standards and operating procedures of "airworthiness certification" and promoted the high-quality growth of employees, high-level team construction and high-quality development of the enterprise. It also helped the enterprise to further standardize the R & D, production, testing, and application processes, effectively improved the management level and quality process control ability of production enterprises and speeded up the R & D and application process of domestic aluminum materials. | aerospace |

Drones such as the DJI Mini 2 have put drone operation within the reach and pockets of everyone. For less than ??500 you can be fully kitted out and airborne. Therefore you might think you can take your own aerial shots to use for your business.
However should you attempt to do this, you could be breaking the law.
In the UK just passing your CAA drone test isn’t enough to qualify you to shoot footage for commercial purposes.
But what are commercial purposes? You’d think it’s where money changes hands for the service, but in fact it can mean if the footage is destined for commercial use. So if a relative shoots footage of your facility as a favour to you, you and they could be breaking the law.
In order to legally shoot footage commercially, you must have the correct CAA certification for your drone as well as have a Flyer ID and Operator ID from the CAA. Finally you must have an appropriate level of insurance for commercially flying your drone.
The CAA website has more information on the requirements. But as a rule of thumb, always ask to see the operators Flyer ID, Operator ID and evidence of insurance cover before a flight commences.
If you need to insure a drone for commercial use, Coverdrone is a good place to find out more and get a quote.
Media2u offers aerial drone footage as part of our standard video production packages. We are licensed and are insured for commercial flight. We are always happy to show our evidence of certification and cover.

Flights into Erie are arriving on time, and there have been no delays at the Cleveland, Detroit or Philadelphia hubs that serve Erie, Rodgers said.
“We’re keeping an eye on things, of course, but every single one of our flights today have been on time,” Rodgers said. “I’m not expecting any impact of any significance here. Traffic through all of our hub destinations has been perfectly fine.”
The Federal Aviation Administration told airlines last week that short-staffing could result in ground delays at some of the nation’s busiest airports, and there were fears that hub delays could cause problems at smaller airports.
The short-staffing is the result of an FAA requirement for some air-traffic controllers to take one day off without pay every 10 days. The furloughs began Sunday as a response to budget cuts required by the federal sequester. | aerospace |

Tiny Solar System, Big Theory
Now, sending a spacecraft out to the Lagrange point L2 just to set a little tungsten orrery in motion might not seem the simplest test, but damned if it couldn't prove some pretty far reaching notions.
Once at the Lagrange point, the artificial solar system would be set in motion inside the spacecraft. An 8-centimetre-wide sphere of tungsten would act as an artificial sun, while a smaller test sphere would be launched 10 cm away into an oval-shaped orbit. The miniscule planet would orbit its tungsten sun 3,000 times per year.As the article points out, not only could this experiment be used to test the unseen spatial dimensions that underlie everything from multidimensional cosmology to M-Theory, but it could also test Modified Newtonian Dynamics, an alternate theory of gravity that could eliminate the need for dark matter in cosmological models. And all from a couple of tungsten spheres only a few centimeters across. How awesome is that?
If gravity is leaking into extra dimensions, the slight change in its force should cause the planet's oval-shaped orbit to rotate, or precess, slowly. Sahni and Shtanov calculated the effect for a theory called the Randall-Sundrum model, which says that our universe is a 3D slice of a bigger, higher dimensional universe. They find the orbit would precess by 1/3600° per year  "a reasonable quantity to try and measure," they say.
Technology doesn't really do it for me. But multi-dimensional cosmology... now that's cool! | aerospace |

The last two victories came with pilot John A. Flying a single-seater Bristol Scout and armed with a single-shot cavalry carbine mounted on the starboard side of the fuselage, Hawker attacked an enemy two-seater over Ypres.
If he had not had his cap on I would have noticed what kind of a face he was making. I followed him at an altitude of from two hundred and fifty feet to one hundred and fifty feet, firing all the time. DeBellevue scored his first four victories with pilot Steve Ritchie , including an AIM-7 Sparrow missile strike from roughly four miles out, an incredibly long-range hit.Dogfights The First Dogfighters
So while his dogfights were often boring compared to others listed here, they were certainly bloody. The MiG continued normally for the next few seconds, then began a slow roll and spiraled downward, impacting the ground with a large fireball.

With 57 victories he went on to become one of the highest scoring British fighter pilots of the First World War. However, when in combat, the pilots operated in pairs, one to attack, and the other to defend.
In one famous June 1917 solo attack on a German aerodrome, he supposedly destroyed three enemy planes in the air and several more on the ground. Anton Fokker, a Dutch designer who had set up an aircraft factory in Schwerin, German, was also trying to develop a machine-gun that could fire through revolving propeller blades. As his reputation grew, Richthofen painted his Fokker tri-plane a gaudy shade of red.
On Sept. Protocol would have Jabara return to base as the maneuverability of his aircraft was compromised, but he decided to press on. In his 1,404 combat missions, Hartmann was never forced to land due to enemy fire.
He might outdive our machines, for the Pfalz is a famous diver, while our faster climbing Nieuports had a droll little habit of shedding their fabric when plunged too furiously through the air. Hall was coming on somewhere in my rear. Dogfights were extremely difficult because the pilot would have to dodge other enemy aircraft while listening to the commands of the gunner as to where to fly to get the enemy into his sights.
The airplane got its nickname from the cover over two machine guns, mounted ahead of the cockpit that created a distinctive hump. On May 30, 1918, Fernbrugg got into a vicious dogfight with a British pilot, Alan Jerrard an ace , over the Italian front, and the Viennese aristocrat came out on top of the bloody heap to score his 14th victory Jerrard survived and became a prisoner of war.
However, by 1917 British pilots tended to seek out enemy aircraft in groups of six. | aerospace |
