While small unmanned spacecraft can provide platforms for zero gravity and exposure to space, space stations offer a long term environment where studies can be performed potentially for decades, combined with ready access by human researchers over periods that exceed the capabilities of manned spacecraft
The Station simplifies individual experiments by eliminating the need for separate rocket launches and research staff. The wide variety of research fields include astrobiology, astronomy, human research including space medicine and life sciences, physical sciences, materials science, space weather, and weather on Earth (meteorology). Scientists on Earth have access to the crew’s data and can modify experiments or launch new ones, which are benefits generally unavailable on unmanned spacecraft. Crews fly expeditions of several months duration, providing approximately 160-man-hours a week of labor with a crew of 6.
When in space, the purpose of a propulsion system is to change the velocity, or v, of a spacecraft. Because this is more difficult for more massive spacecraft, designers generally discuss momentum, mv. The amount of change in momentum is called impulse. So the goal of a propulsion method in space is to create an impulse.
When launching a spacecraft from Earth, a propulsion method must overcome a higher gravitational pull to provide a positive net acceleration. In orbit, any additional impulse, even very tiny, will result in a change in the orbit path.
The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration, and the rate of change of momentum is called force. To reach a given velocity, one can apply a small acceleration over a long period of time, or one can apply a large acceleration over a short time. Similarly, one can achieve a given impulse with a large force over a short time or a small force over a long time. This means that for maneuvering in space, a propulsion method that produces tiny accelerations but runs for a long time can produce the same impulse as a propulsion method that produces large accelerations for a short time. When launching from a planet, tiny accelerations cannot overcome the planet’s gravitational pull and so cannot be used.Earth’s surface is situated fairly deep in a gravity well. The escape velocity required to get out of it is 11.2 kilometers/second. | aerospace |

Solar Impulse has had a long journey since May 3, when the manned plane began its first flight across the U.S., flying day and night without a single drop of fuel.
At 11:09 p.m. local time Saturday, Solar Impulse safely touched down in New York City, bringing its journey to a close.
Solar Impulse is an innovative project leveraging technological prowess and the spirit of adventure by means of an airplane. Launched in 2003, it completed the world's first solar 26-hour day and night flight in 2010. In 2011 Solar Impulse flew to Brussels (Belgium) and Paris (France) and in 2012, the HB-SIA prototype completed the first intercontinental flight connecting Europe to Africa.
wait, so it started the trip on may 3rd?? and took 5 months to complete the trip? he should have just walked it would have been faster. | aerospace |

|Description||During the mid-1950's, the public concerns over nuclear fallout due to US and Russian testing was reaching a fevered pitch. To that end, President Eisenhower announced to the US on August 22, 1958, the US would ban further nuclear testing on or before October 31 of the same year. US scientists, wanting to gather as much data as possible, responded with Hardtack Series of tests. Scientists where interested in many scientific areas, but primary interest lay in the effects of radioactivity from underwater and above ground detonation. The Hardtack Nuclear Testing Program consisted of 35 detonations in the Pacific Proving Grounds during the period of April-August 1958. Scientists, at the time, were chiefly concerned about damage to the ozone layer and possible effects of long-range radioactive fallout and determined that scientific measurements of the earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) would help clarify what, if any, damage had occurred.
Single and two stage Doorknob rockets were developed using Lacrosse and Thiokol solid propellent motors and could launch an instrument laden sounding rocket to approximately 50 miles in altitude and capture radioactive data for analysis. Early results of this upper atmosphere data suggested little to no damage to the ozone layer was measured during the nuclear testing and water detonations probably produced enough ozone to replace what little might have been lost due to above ground testing. The Estes 1:12 scale model Doorknob is big and impressive. Simple to build and fun to fly, this kit will be big hit in both the sport and scale rocket categories.

Panagopoulos –
Slovenia’s Adria Airways is planning to modify its fleet by further downsizing on the number of its Bombardier CRJ200 aircraft and replacing them with the larger CRJ900 version.
The Slovenian carrier will shortly remove two of its CRJ200s from service, registered S5-AAD and S5-AAE. Both aircraft were delivered new to Adria and are now almost sixteen years old. The airline is to replace both of the 48 seat jets with the larger CRJ900ER aircraft, which have the capacity to seat ninety passengers. The aircraft will be leased from Italy’s Air One.
Adria’s CEO, Mark Anžur, announced plans earlier last month to replace the CRJ200s.
The airline has begun to ease its reliance on the aircraft in line with its new business strategy announced earlier this year. “The CRJ200s are only suitable for the development of new routes. Our strategy is to operate larger aircraft and fewer frequencies. This way we can offer cheaper prices”, Mr. Anžur said recently.
In late September Adria sold one of its CRJ200 aircraft to SCAT Airlines from Kazakhstan. Furthermore, as EX-YU Aviation News learns, the Slovenian carrier is planning to lease out its Airbus A320 on a shirt term basis to Cambodia’s Skywings Asia Airlines until the summer of 2014 when it will be needed in Ljubljana to operate lucrative summer charter flights.
Adria is preparing for a big year ahead as it plans to expand its route network out of Ljubljana, station and aircraft in Verona and exercise fifth freedom rights out of Tirana. Furthermore, the Slovenian carrier is still mulling the possibility of basing an aircraft in Klagenfurt in Austria.
At the same time, the airline is anticipating for its privatisation process to be launched soon and is also waiting for the European Commission to rule on whether it accepted state aid contrary to EU competition laws.

Such an augmentation should be considered only if it has no serious cost or schedule impact on a Pluto-Charon mission.
Did you learn anything new that surprised you? Have fun!!!!!!!
Visiting a Centaur, those icy objects that have orbits among the giant planets and are thought to be Kuiper Belt objects whose orbits have been perturbed by Neptune. This is a problem that is not unique to mobile platforms.
Today we will be discovering Saturn and Uranus both planets are gas giants…. The outer solar system contains a wide variety of objects. As a result, common materials can exist in exotic states about which very little is known.
Conclusion of solar system
Long-range mobility, whether with rovers, aerobots, or other devices, poses significant navigational challenges. This week you all will become junior astronauts learning. To fully interpret statistical studies of the properties of many Kuiper Belt objects, the range of object types needs to be sampled and studied in detail with spacecraft missions. You will be completing a solar system mobile with the art teacher next week. Advancing our knowledge regarding the physical and chemical properties of the KBOs using both Earth-and space-based telescopes to determine accurate photometry and radiometry is directly related to having large, high-quantum-efficiency detector arrays, especially in the far infrared. Spacing the encounters by a period of, say, 6 months would allow retargeting of the second spacecraft in response to observations made during the first encounter. This week you all will become junior astronauts learning about the solar system. The size of a mobile platform needs to be considered as part of a systems optimization based on scientific needs and mission constraints.
The teacher will give each group a copy after the mission has been completed. Spacing the encounters by a period of, say, 6 months would allow retargeting of the second spacecraft in response to observations made during the first encounter.
Bibliography of solar system
You will be able to identify the planets and their distance from the sun. Day 4 We are almost done. Today we will be discovering Saturn and Uranus both planets are gas giants…. Most importantly, I hope you have enjoyed learning this week. Which planet did you enjoy learning about? Today we will explore the Earth and the sun. COMPLEX hopes that experience with the Rosetta mission to a comet and Discovery-class missions to the inner solar system will pave the way for affordable spacecraft missions to outer solar system objects. Likewise, an aircraft or balloon mission designed to measure important atmospheric parameters at various altitudes can also collect surface spectral data important to geologists, geochemists, and exobiologists. Only after the raw data have been thoroughly analyzed and placed in the context of existing research is new knowledge likely to arise. As a result, common materials can exist in exotic states about which very little is known. As you prepare to share what you have learned, please think about the following questions: What was you favorite part of the lesson?
Proposals to conduct field tests should be peer reviewed in advance, and the test results should be promptly published in peer-reviewed journals. Goals of such a mission should include exploring the unmapped hemisphere, constraining models of the interior with measurements of gravitational and magnetic fields, and investigating the expected temporal variations in Triton's atmosphere.
You will be able to identify how the planets rotate around the sun.
Continued support for research and analysis programs and for relevant theoretical and laboratory studies is an essential component of a program of spacecraft and telescopic observations of the trans-neptunian solar system.

Designed by Russian firm Hoversurf, the single-seater relies on four propellers to fly, can travel up to 40mph (64.4kmh) for a maximum of 25 minutes, and can carry a weight of 600lbs (272kg).
The addition comes as part of the force's "smart city" plans.
The Scorpion is not the only company that wishes to ride the winds of change in "personal flight", the up-and-rising industry of compact flying machines that require less operator training than helicopters and aeroplanes.
Commuting by air is on the cards in the near future if these companies also have their way:
1. Kitty roaring into the sky
Silicon Valley-based startup Kitty Hawk released a video of its "personal flying machine" prototype in flight above a lake, reported AFP on April 24.
Said to be backed by Google co-founder Larry Page, the company aims to deliver finished examples of the Flyer, an open-air machine that seats one that requires a mere two hours of training to operate, by the end of this year.
The craft, propelled by eight rotors, takes off and lands vertically, like a helicopter. It is said to weigh about 100 kgs and fly at speeds up to 40 kph.
2. Uber-high ambitions
The company will work with industry partners such as aviation company Aurora Flight Sciences to build "vertical takeoff and landing" aircraft and create the infrastructure network needed to maintain the vehicles.
Partnerships with Dubai and the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolis were also announced at a summit specially-convened to outline the company's project, which was dubbed Uber Elevate.
The company estimated in a white paper released in October that 1,000 aircraft and 83 terminals, each with 12 charging spots, would be needed to serve three or four cities.
3. A bloom of Lilium
Just five days before Kitty Hawk released its flight footage, Munich startup Lilium uploaded a video showing a fully-functional prototype of its Jet in unmanned flight:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohig71bwRUE
Powered by an array of 36 electrically-powered jets, the Jet promises to seat five in a sleek, enclosed fuselage, unlike the minimalist configuration of the Kitty Hawk.
It is capable of taking off vertically from tight spaces, like a helicopter, before engaging in aeroplane-style winged flight.
It has a claimed range and top speed of 300km and 300km/h respectively.
However, a pilot's license with at least 20 hours of training is required to fly the Jet, a requirement that is nevertheless far less onerous than the hundreds of hours often needed to learn how to pilot larger aircraft.
"In the longer term, our target is to build an aircraft that not only the super-rich can afford, and that can make private air transportation possible for a much wider number of people," co-founder and chief executive Daniel Wiegand told CNN, pitching it as a flying taxi for the masses.
4. Who needs hoverboards when Flyboard is in?
The brainchild of French jet-ski champion Franky Zapata, the Zapata Racing Flyboard comprises a large jet with vestigial footholds upon which the operator stands in flight.
A control stick is wired to the Flyboard, allowing its height, direction and speed to be controlled.
The Flyboard was first flown by Mr Zapata himself to spectacular effect last year:
Unlike the hoverboard in Back to the Future, it is capable of flight up to 10,000 feet (3,048m) high at a maximum speed of 150km/h, albeit limited to 10 minutes at a time, though the company does not state if all three specifications can be fulfilled simultaneously.
One thing is for sure though: anyone with one of these has no more excuses to be late for work. | aerospace |

“The eagle has landed for the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station,” Sen. Charles Schumer (D) told the Niagara Gazette following the news. “I’ve been working on this for a year. This is our future,” he said.
Funding for the new mission is expected to be included in the Obama administration’s fiscal 2017 budget request. No timetable for transfer of the aircraft has been announced, but the move is expected to happen “soon,” according to Schumer.
Gaining the tankers is critical for the air reserve station as the Air Force is expected to retire its aging fleet of C-130 transport aircraft, the same type of aircraft flown by the Reserve’s 914th Airlift Wing at Niagara Falls. The installation’s Air National Guard unit, the 107th Airlift Wing, flew KC-135 tankers until 2008 and installation supporters have pointed out that the infrastructure remains in place to handle air refueling tankers. The Air National Guard unit is transitioning to unmanned aerial systems.
In lobbying for the tankers, Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D) said the airbase’s existing infrastructure and the local workforce makes the installation an ideal fit the new mission. The senators also promoted the base’s strategic location, noting that it is located near five border crossings, five potential refueling routes and a large contingent of potential customers.
“We needed a new modern fleet and the KC-135s fit us like a glove because we have all the infrastructure that’s needed for them,” Schumer said.
The Niagara Military Affairs Council and the state’s congressional delegation pursued the KC-135 mission as some bases with KC-135 fleets transition to the Air Force’s next generation tanker, the KC-46A. | aerospace |

Its debut flight is scheduled for 2023.
Dream Chaser Project History
The Dream Chaser spaceplane was originally developed as a vehicle for delivering crews to the ISS. However, in 2014, it lost the final stage of selection under the Commercial Crew Development program to the spacecraft CST-100 Starliner and Crew Dragon.
After this, the designers decided to rework the concept of the device, turning it into an unmanned supply spacecraft. It turned out to be a good solution. In 2016, the Dream Chaser project became one of the winners of the second phase of the Commercial Resupply Services 2 program. It was guaranteed at least 6 cargo missions to the ISS.
Structure of the Dream Chaser spaceplane
The Dream Chaser body is made of composite materials with ceramic thermal protection. The spacecraft will be launched into orbit using the new Vulcan carrier. The spaceplane has folding wings, due to which it can be installed not on the side of the carrier rocket, but on top of the last stage (it will be covered with a fairing to improve aerodynamics).
Dream Chaser will be able to deliver five tons of supplies to the ISS in a pressurized compartment and up to 500 kg more in an unpressurized one. When returning to Earth, it will land on the runway like an airplane, carrying up to 1850 kg of returned cargo on board. Another 3,400 kg can be placed in a compartment that will separate before the spaceplane enters the atmosphere, and it will burn up in it.
Assembling the Dream Chaser spaceplane
The assembly of the first flight copy of the Dream Chaser began in 2019. Initially, it was planned that it would make its debut flight at the end of 2020 — however, this was prevented by various technical factors and the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly slowed down the assembly and testing process of the device.
According to Sierra Space representatives, the project recently passed an important stage — engineers installed its wings on the Dream Chaser body. After the assembly and structural tests are completed, the spacecraft will be transported to the NASA test center in Ohio. This event is scheduled for August – September 2022. There, the device will undergo a series of thermal tests designed to certify its readiness for space flight. Upon their completion, the Dream Chaser will be transported to Cape Canaveral and prepared for installation on the Vulcan rocket. The first spaceplane mission is scheduled for early 2023.
It should be noted that Sierra Space does not lose hope to build a manned version of the spacecraft. Given the uncertain fate of the ISS, the company is considering using it in missions to deliver people to private orbital stations. It is also known that Sierra Space is discussing the possibility of creating a version of the spacecraft designed for the US Space Forces, which would replace the X-37B space drone.
Earlier, we also talked about Sierra Space’s plans to organize Dream Chaser landings at Japanese airfields.

Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen tells Channel 3, the two people on board the plane, which includes the pilot, are okay and suffered minor injuries.
(WRCB) A plane has crashed in Marion County Tuesday evening.
Dispatch confirms a plane crashed around the Tennessee - Alabama state line on Highway 72.
Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen tells Channel 3 two people were on board the plane and both of them suffered minor injuries but will be okay.
The pilot walked away from the crash with a hurt knee, and his female passenger was taken to Erlanger with possibly a broken arm.
Both were taken to a local hospital.
Neighbor Wayne Higgins said he saw the plane from his house and knew there was going to be trouble.
"I seen the plane come over my garage over there and it sounded like he was experiencing some kind of engine problem, maybe running out of fuel, he was having a lot of backfiring and stuff," Higgins said.
A short time later Higgins heard news report of a plane crash, fearing the worst, he went to the scene to see what had happened.
"You know there's something wrong but there's nothing you can do, and it don't make you feel so good to know that someone's in trouble like that and you can't help them you know," Higgins said.
The plane's tail number shows it's owned by David Riggs out of Bridgeport.
Bridgeport Volunteer Firefighter Otis Brakebill helped the pilot and his passenger out of the field. He said the pilot told him what happened.
"He just lost power and was trying to land in a field, the field had been plowed and it was muddy and when he touched down the front wheel fell up underneath the airplane and it flipped over," Brakebill said.
We still don't know if Riggs was the one flying the plane.
The FAA will be at the crash site tomorrow afternoon to investigate the cause of the crash. | aerospace |

You'd think that the shuttle goes straight up, but that wouldn't put it into orbit. Getting into orbit it like firing a cannon ball that "misses" the Earth and just keeps missing. For every 10 feet the Earth's surface curves down, the shuttle drops 10 feet. So, astronauts on the shuttle aren't floating because there's no gravity, but rather because they're in a constant free fall called microgravity. | aerospace |

India, meanwhile, announced that its Chandrayaan-3 mission is on schedule for a controlled landing on Wednesday.
Russia’s space agency, Roscosmos, was hoping to win the race to the lunar south pole by landing on Monday. The agency said it lost contact with Luna-25 on Saturday, 47 minutes after a thruster misfired during an orbital adjustment burn. The misfire created an “emergency situation” that Roscomos did not elaborate upon.
“The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon,” Roscomos said.
The Luna-25 mission, launched from Vostochny Cosmodrome on August 10, was Russia’s first moon shot since 1976. The original mission design had the lander carrying a small moon rover, but the rover was ditched to reduce the weight of the lander.
Roscosmos claimed that even with its disastrous conclusion, the mission proved Russia remains “a state capable of delivering a payload to the moon.”
On the other hand, international analysts said the Luna-25 mission was largely intended as a test of landing technology and the calamity occurred during what should have been a relatively safe phase of the lunar approach, so the disaster does not bode well for the state of the Russian space program.
Design or manufacturing defects in the thruster seemed a likely explanation for the crash, although some foreign analysts suspected human error, possibly because the mission controllers were in a hurry to land before the Indian spacecraft.
Post-Soviet Russia has experienced a string of failed missions, including a disastrous attempt to launch a Mars probe in 2011 that did not make it out of Earth’s orbit. The catastrophic failure of the Phobos-Grunt mission in 2011 was attributed by investigators to shortcuts taken in design and testing to save money.
Russian state media tried to manage the embarrassment of failure by claiming the mission still managed to deliver “invaluable information about the surface of the moon,” as one TV news broadcast put it.
India, meanwhile, announced on Monday that its Chandrayaan-3 lander will touch down around 6:00 p.m. on August 23. Sunday’s successful orbital maneuvers brought the spacecraft down to its lowest orbit before the lander could be deployed.
The lander sent back some images of the lunar south pole region as it scouted for a safe landing spot:

Lander Hazard Detection and Avoidance Camera (LHDAC).

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said that if this landing window was missed for some reason, Chandrayaan-3 will “wait for another month and land in September.” ISRO said all phases of the mission have proceeded normally so far.
The Indian mission includes a lander called Vikram, which is carrying a rover called Pragyan. The lander and rover were designed to run off solar power for one lunar day, which lasts 14 Earth days. The time of the landing was chosen to maximize the amount of sunlight the equipment will receive.
“Our tests show that there are possibilities of the battery getting recharged upon the next Sun rise. If that happens, we could get another 14 days or even more,” ISRO Chairman Sreedhara Panicker Somanath said.
The current mission plan is for the rover to operate within line-of-sight of the lander, so the lander’s cameras can observe the rover at all times. Somanath said that if the mission is fortunate enough to get a second lunar day of operation, the rover might be sent further away.
India tried to land on the moon in 2019 with its Chandrayaan-2 mission, which was also intended to find water ice in deep, shadowed lunar craters. The Vikram lander from Chandrayaan-2 crashed on the lunar surface during its final approach to the Moon’s south pole.
Success on Wednesday will make India the fourth nation to land on the Moon, after the United States, Soviet Union, and China. India will become the first to land in the south polar region, which became a focus of scientific attention after frozen water was discovered in deep lunar craters.
If a substantial amount of water ice lurks beneath the lunar surface, the south polar region is the best place to find it. Such a discovery could be useful for future space endeavors, such as establishing a lunar colony or sending spacecraft to Mars and beyond.
Ten more lunar missions have been announced by the United States, Israel, China, Japan, and India over the next two years. NASA said last week the launch tower for the manned Artemis-2 mission has been moved to its pad at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, beginning extensive tests in preparation for a ten-day manned flight to lunar orbit.
Artemis-2 is currently scheduled to launch in November 2024. Artemis-3, planned for December 2025, would return humans to the surface of the moon since 1972, although NASA said on Monday that a manned landing could be delayed until a subsequent mission if the landing system developed by SpaceX is not ready on time.

I tweeted about it, noting that there are only four space shuttle missions left on the manifest. My friend Patrick just asked me what’s next for NASA after the Shuttle retires. My reply on Facebook turned into an essay, so I thought I’d share it here.
What comes after the Shuttle? All the things about NASA that don’t make the headlines will continue. Some even get more funding. The Shuttle has been the poster child for 30 years, but in the meantime, NASA has been instrumental in furthering our understanding of climate dynamics, earth observation, deep space astronomy and cosmology. Robotic planetary and solar exploration, cutting edge research in biology, materials, aeronautics, energy generation, propulsion, you name it, have all continued. Shuttle launches are sexy. But when they end, perhaps a little more light will be shed on everything else NASA does. Cassini, the robotic probe that has taught us more about Saturn and its moons than we ever knew before, just got a seven year life extension. And human space exploration isn’t dead; the Falcon 9 rocket just went vertical last week, with a test capsule that SpaceX claims can be human rated. Static test firings of the Falcon 9 could come as early as this week. Private subspace (read: Virgin Galactic) should come online this year. The Russians are cranking out Soyuz launches like Henry Ford did Model Ts. Europe, Japan, China, & India all have launch systems. The Shuttle will stop flying, but humans won’t. Maybe if we’re lucky they’ll resurrect the HL-20. Or the X-33. And don’t forget: the Air Force has a spaceplane now.
Humans have had a continuous presence in space since the year 2000, thanks to the International Space Station. Think about it. For the last decade, a single second hasn’t passed that someone wasn’t zooming over your head at 17,500 mph. It may sound pie-in-the-sky, but that’s the reason I answered a question about NASA’s future with international and private examples: as we go forward, this will be a cooperative effort. It’s one planet. One home. That is an inescapable fact. We are one species. Why not pool our efforts? There’s no need to reinvent the rocket just because you live in a particular spot on this planet behind some imaginary line. There’s no need for every country to send an individual probe to the moon or Mars just because we hoard information about our solar system as if we own it because we were the first to discover it. A fact is a fact; congratulations on learning it first. Now SHARE.
Newsflash: you can’t see borders from space. In my book, that means they don’t exist. They are mere constructs, accidents of history, that everyone seems to agree upon. They are fiction. Made up. There is true reality, and then there is that of which we are convinced. Exploration is inevitable. So is growth. I hope the void left by Discovery and the other shuttles makes room for the spaceships…and discoveries…of tomorrow.
Ever watch those old videos and wonder why the Apollo astronauts developed a loping gait when walking on the moon? Turns out the spacesuit, being inflated like a balloon, helped support its own 220-pound weight. The internal pressure also made it difficult to bend the joints of the suit. When the knee did bend, however, it would spring back, providing an extra pep in each step. This combined with the low lunar gravity meant that the transition speed (the point where humans break into a run from walking) for a suited Apollo astronaut was much lower on the moon. Hence the moonwalkers skipped, bounced and loped across the lunar surface at speeds where we earth-bound humans would simply stride. With any luck this discovery will be brought to bear on the design of Martian spacesuits.
BONUS: I just realized the music video for the Police’s Walking on the Moon was shot on location here at the Kennedy Space Center, back when the unused Saturn V rocket was on display outside the VAB, rusting away until it was restored and placed in a dedicated museum down the road.
Didn’t think I was gonna get a post up in January, didja? HA! That’ll show ya.
Here’s a month’s worth of hope in one short film. Watch it full screen.
First, to my father. Without him, there are countless reasons I wouldn’t be here.
So here’s to both of you! We celebrated in fine style this week, with the crew of STS-124 returning to KSC to visit the employees on Monday. I had the distinct privilege of meeting and speaking with Aki Hoshide, Mike Fossum, Ron Garan and Ken Ham. During the question and answer session I asked about their views on the future of space exploration, since Space X successfully launched the Falcon rocket into orbit on their fourth attempt just this Sunday, making it history’s first private orbital spacecraft.
Ron gave a brilliant answer, one which I didn’t forsee and which settles the false dichotomy between public and private space. Many people aren’t aware how much NASA supports private space exploration, even putting their money where their mouth is and seed-funding several startups, not to mention making arrangements for future private-party resupply missions to the International Space Station. Ron said it’s time for NASA to leave LEO (Low Earth Orbit) to the startups, and venture outward into the solar system. The ISS is an incredible outpost, and we should operate it as intended, as an international microgravity science laboratory, but it should be resupplied with cargo and crew by private companies. NASA should throw its weight behind efforts where it has historically excelled, namely exploration. It makes sense to field more robotic missions to planets and NEOs (Near Earth Objects) and to embark on human exploration and settlement of the Moon and Mars. It’s a beautiful symbiosis. Ron emphasized that NASA and other government space programs are the only ones capable of pursuing the goals that are “seventy years out,” meaning the missions for which there is no immediately discernible financial return, but which intangibly benefit us all. LEO is ripe for commercial expansion. But Elon Musk doesn’t have the $40 billion it’s going to take to put a human on Mars. Yet.
Today, on the golden anniversary of NASA beginning operations, the employees of the Kennedy Space Center celebrated by walking, running and rollerblading 1-mile, 5K and 10K courses on the three-mile-long Shuttle Landing Facility. I take special pride in being the person who started the rollerblading tradition (much to the chagrin of the competitive runners) four years ago. Each year we have a greater number of dorks in helmets out on the slab. It’s fantastic fun. This year marks the first time I’ve been beaten to the finish line!
The highlight for me, though, is after the race. It’s not the free catered food and sports drinks, the camaraderie and the swag, all of which are good. It’s the chance to see what goes on nearly every day at the SLF, up close and personal. Astronaut pilots and commanders are training all the time in the STAs (Shuttle Training Aircraft), modified Gulfstreams with sophisticated flight controls and avionics to make them fall out of the sky just like space shuttles.
Today there were two STAs on the tarmac, and anyone who was brave enough to ask got a guided tour. There’s nothing in the world like sitting in the pilot seat of a split-down-the-middle frankenstein machine, half shuttle, half executive jet, looking through the futuristic transparent HUD (Head Up Display) as the astronauts arrive in their T-38 supersonic jets to train in the very seat in which you sit. We got the royal treatment, too, staying onboard while the engines spooled up and meeting the former astronauts and maintenance officers for the SR-71 and U-2 who teach the younger flyboys and flygirls how to handle the magnificent birds. I learned more in one evening about the STA than I have in all my years as an aerospace engineer. These planes have the longest service history of any Gulfstream (a company also celebrating its 50th) aircraft ever produced. The engines are different, as are the thrust reversers, the 30-degree-positive flaps, and countless other systems that give these planes their jekyll-and-hyde personality.
As I skated back to the car, the sky turned various brilliant shades of pink and orange as more astronauts arrived in their jets. I bid the crew farewell and said a silent prayer of thanks for the privilege I enjoy, working every day at the greatest spaceport on Earth, for an organization responsible for some of the crowning achievements of our era and that has contributed so much to humankind.
felt like a suffragette
face in elevator chrome
got off at twenty-seven
the view on top so rad
private island high rise
I spied the streets below
I had my baby’s camera
to shoot the passing scene
out into the lobby
escorted by the duke
then crashed my little dream
elbow to the window
ignoring all the din
I zoom on things below
to see what tales they tell
a traffic jam with police
directing all the flow
I couldn’t time the shot right
being jostled at the glass
finally I got it
the next moment I awoke
two cops, a jumping high-five
now that’s a dream with class
In spite of childhood swim lessons in frigid water at the crack of dawn (or perhaps because of them), I have always been a waterbaby. In the past six months I’ve made rapid progress in scuba diving, beyond PADI certified rescue diver into specialties like wreck penetration diving. Lately I’ve become obsessed with the geology and location of blue holes, occuring in equatorial karst regions throughout the Caribbean and across the globe, ranging from the cenotes of Mexico to the springs of Florida to the blue holes of the Bahamas, Belize, and the Red Sea. In exploring online what I hope to someday explore in person, I ran across this video and was entranced. If you can’t see yourself doing this, then imagine you were along with Lorenia today, as she swam in the azure waters off the Yucatan with massive sea turtles and giant whale sharks, exploring undersea caves and catching rides from 12-foot wide manta rays.
My coworker Chris was tucking his five-year-old son Miles into bed last night.
“Dad, I don’t want Mom to die.”
“Well, Miles, we all die.”
“Dad, can you build a time machine so we don’t have to?”
“Anything is possible, son, but I don’t think I’m smart enough to do that. Why don’t you get to work on it?”
Miles paused, and Chris could see the cogs turning in his son’s head.
“Okay, Dad, but I don’t think I can build it out of my legos.”
Arthur C. Clarke, one of my most exalted heroes, has passed to the next world. There is no way I could ever pay proper respect to his spirit or legacy, so I’ll let him speak for himself.
Rest in peace, Mr. Clarke, immersed in everlasting joy and assured in your new, infinite knowledge that all your wishes are true, and will come true for us.
You like coincidences? Check out my most recent flickr photo, which I posted before leaving for Mexico and have left up for nearly a week. I have read 2001: A Space Odyssey, and 2010: Odyssey Two, but until today I did not know that the second sequel was entitled 2061: Odyssey Three. Third book’s the chardm, as they say.
P.S. This is my third visit to Mexico. | aerospace |

A very large asteroid with its own little moon will pass Earth this evening (May 25th) – close enough for amateur astronomers, with some preparation and a decent telescope, to see it erase the stars.
This moon asteroid system, called 1999 KW4, consists of two rocks. According to NASA, the big one is about 1.3 kilometers wide and has the shape of a gyroscope. The smaller one is elongated and extends over a length of 0.57 km. It shows lengthwise to its much larger twin.
Together, the asteroid and its minimoon will pass the Earth at such a strange, steep angle that NASA calls it "the least accessible … for a spacecraft mission of a known binary near-Earth asteroid." (Judgment Day: 9 Real Ways the Earth May End)
That does not mean that they are not interesting.
The two asteroids will pass Earth closest to Earth at 19:05 GMT (1105 GMT) when they are only 5,182,015 km from the surface of the planet. That's more than a dozen times the distance between the Earth and the Moon in its orbit around our planet and way too far for the space rocks to be a threat. In fact, this is the fourth approximation of binary asteroids to Earth since they were discovered in 1999, rather than the next. EarthSky is not the first time that astronomers are taking radar images of these asteroids as they pass by.
As early as May 25, 2001, NASA reported that the asteroids were about 6.7% closer to Earth at a distance of 4,836,798 km than this time. In seventeen years, on May 25, 2036, the rocks will travel closer to Earth at a distance of only 2,323,106 km 55.2%. Again, this is not a serious threat.
These big rocks have been flying a lot in the neighborhood of our planet for a long time.
"1999 KW4 approaches several times a century within 0.05 AU of the Earth," states NASA's report on the object. "This trend exists from at least (the year) 1600 (to) 2500." (Black Marble Pictures: Earth at Night)
"AU" refers to "astronomical units," a unit that corresponds to the distance between Earth and Sun. 0.05 AU equals one-twentieth of the distance between Earth and the Sun or about 7,480,000 km (4,650,000 miles). Several times in the century since William Shakespeare wrote, the two asteroids have come even closer to Earth without incident, and will continue to do so until that article is at least 500 years old.
EarthSky reported that they are most visible during the next approach of space rocks in the southern hemisphere, and appear as fast-moving shadows against stars in the constellation Puppis. The two asteroids, however, remain visible for several days, according to EarthSky. North American asteroid hunters can spot the objects on the evening of May 27 near the constellation Hydra.
NASA announced that its planetary defense coordination office will continue to closely monitor the asteroids.

Gandara Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. CQ Brown, Jr. and his wife, Sharene, visited the Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center during a trip to Kirtland Air Force Base Aug. 12, 2021. Brown visited the AFOTEC 301 operational test course where both Air and Space Force students are taught how to plan, execute and report operational testing throughout the acquisition of combat capability. Brown talked about AFOTEC ‘s test mission and how it fits into his strategic vision for shaping the Air Force into the future. “To address the challenges that endanger our national security, the transition to the future of the Air Force must start today,” said Brown. “AFOTEC is a part of determining where we want to be tomorrow by looking at how we test today in regard to agile combat employment. We don’t want to wait until there’s a crisis to determine that we should have done something. It’s not about what we could do, but what we’re going to do to bring the warfighter the capabilities that help them in the future fight.” After addressing the students, Brown met with the AFOTEC Commander Maj. Gen. Jim Sears and senior staff to hear about how AFOTEC is meeting the challenge of accelerating change through the test enterprise. “AFOTEC is focused on driving innovation, leveraging resources, and minimizing test redundancies,” said Sears. “We have a common goal with all our stakeholders to assure the best acquisition programs are delivered to the warfighters. AFOTEC, as the Air Force’s independent operational test agency, has been the focal point for providing truth to the warfighter and acquisition communities for more than four decades. “AFOTEC strives to be involved with programs as early as possible because we believe early involvement is critical to the success of a program, said Sears. “The “O” in AFOTEC ensures all testing and evaluation is done from the perspective of operators employing weapon systems in an operationally realistic environment.” Brown wrapped up his visit by sharing how AFOTEC’s continuing efforts to turn innovation into action are key to providing the capabilities the Air Force needs today to win tomorrow. “Speed of relevance links AFOTEC’s operational test and evaluation contributions to the Air Force priorities that develop and field systems,” said Brown. “AFOTEC directly influences the acquisitions and capabilities delivered to Warfighters.” During the visit, Brown recognized two of AFOTEC’s exceptional performers: Mr. Russell Foos, AFOTEC Training Chief, and Dr. Stephanie Smith, AFOTEC’s Historian. “AFOTEC promotes a culture of empowered Airmen delivering mission success in an environment that promotes respect, trust, integrity, and professional and personal growth and development,” said Brown. “It was great to visit AFOTEC and see first hand how Team AFOTEC is accelerating change for the warfighter.” AFOTEC is a direct reporting unit under Headquarters, United States Air Force and is the Air Force’s independent test agency with a mission to inform the warfighter and acquisition through operational test. AFOTEC evaluates the capability of systems to meet Warfighter needs by planning, executing and reporting independent operational assessments, tests and evaluations. From concept development to system fielding, AFOTEC evaluates a system’s overall operational mission capability under realistic conditions. AFOTEC’s mission requires lock-step efforts with acquisition partners focused on shortening the combat capability delivery timeline. | aerospace |

Leaving holidaymakers horrified, minutes before the plane was due to take off the passenger and his travel companion were taken off the plane.
According to Flight Radar, their seats and the overhead cabin bins were then disinfected, before the plane was allowed to fly to Pisa one hour and 40 minutes behind schedule.
Ryanair said in a statment: ‘They were both wearing masks at all times at Stansted Airport,’
‘and for a very short period (less than ten minutes) they were seated on the aircraft prior to departure’.
‘There was little if any risk of coronavirus transmission to other passengers or crew members as all of whom were also wearing face masks at all times.’

The emergency call was dispatched around 7:30 a.m. Thursday in the desert near Loop 303 and Lake Pleasant Parkway.
Peoria police say one of three people aboard suffered a minor leg injury but did not need medical treatment.
Police who went to the site of the Thursday morning crash found nobody there but Officer Paul Hermans says the pilot later returned to the site.
According to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman, a person that was following the hot air balloon was able to transport them away from the scene.
Doug Lehn lives near where the balloon crashed and happened to be outside when it started to go down.
"I was out cleaning the pool, it was early very calm and very quiet," Lehn said. "[I heard] what sounded like a propane blast, but what was unusual about it is that it kind of sputtered and then it flamed out very quickly."
"I was directly underneath a basket of a large yellow balloon. So I just kinda watched it as it descended under the tree there. Minutes later I heard sirens and I just knew in the pit of my stomach, I realized something has went wrong."
The crash site was next to power lines but Hermans says witnesses said the balloon hit the ground but did not the power lines, which were undamaged.
The FAA says they will investigate the crash. Hermans says the National Transportation Safety Board indicated it'd follow up later with the balloon pilot. | aerospace |

From Science Daily:
Since its launch last June, NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has discovered a new class of pulsars, probed gamma-ray bursts and watched flaring jets in galaxies billions of light-years away. At the American Physical Society meeting in Denver, Colo., Fermi scientists revealed new details about high-energy particles implicated in a nearby cosmic mystery.
"Fermi's Large Area Telescope is a state-of-the-art gamma-ray detector, but it's also a terrific tool for investigating the high-energy electrons in cosmic rays," said Alexander Moiseev, who presented the findings. Moiseev is an astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.

And possibly electronics of airplanes in flight and equipment needed by our spies within Iran. Bad move.
EMP has never been effective against military targets, even their mostly geriatric ones which are still semi-hardened. If you're close enough to a military target to damage it with EMP you're close enough to damage it with high explosives. Also not clear if Israel has the specialized EMP warheads, and if they used large general purpose warheads in the atmosphere, well, the whole world would then be at war with Israel.
That wouldnt kill the civilians, but would render a response from Ahmadinejad impossible.

Interestingly, this is not the first time a plane has disappeared without a trace. Here are 5 examples of doomed flights that are still unaccounted for.
The most famous doomed expedition, Amelia Earhart’s goal of flying around the world in 1937 was mysteriously cut short when communication signals were lost. Her last transmission on July 2nd was entirely normal, until it became the last anyone would hear from her.
In 1944, Glenn Miller – a notable big band leader- and crew were en route to France when their plane disappeared over the English Channel . No distress signal was sent, and no explanation or wreckage has been recovered.
December 5th, 1945 was a day that sparked more speculation about the so-called “Bermuda Triangle”. Five navy bombers departed Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a training mission, but all five planes disappeared without a trace within the fabled area. Before losing radio communication, the training instructor radioed that their compasses weren’t working and they were disoriented. No traces of the planes were ever found.
Rescue For Flight 19
Even more baffling of a plane disappearance, the crew that was sent to rescue the five navy bomber in Flight 19 also disappeared and no traces of the plane were ever found.
In 2003, a Boeing 727 vanished after taking off from Quatro de Fevereiro International Airport somewhere around the Angolan capital of Luanda. The plane was headed for Burkina Faso when it departed with its lights off and a bad transponder. Reports vary as to weather there were one or four passengers aboard. Eleven years later, the plane has still not been found.

Please enjoy our hobby and follow the rules. Follow the FAA Guidelines below and respect each other's space and privacy.
Be Safe & Happy Flying!
Know Before You Fly
Know Before You Fly was founded by the three leading organizations with a stake in UAS safety – the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and the Small UAV Coalition. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is partnering with the founding members to spread the word about safe and responsible flying.
FAA - Model Aircraft Operations
Model aircraft operations are for hobby or recreational purposes only.
The FAA has partnered with several industry associations to promote Know Before You Fly, a campaign to educate the public about using unmanned aircraft safely and responsibly. Individuals flying for hobby or recreation are strongly encouraged to follow safety guidelines, which include:
Fly below 400 feet and remain clear of surrounding obstacles
Keep the aircraft within visual line of sight at all times
Remain well clear of and do not interfere with manned aircraft operations
Don't fly within 5 miles of an airport unless you contact the airport and control tower before flying
Don't fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs
Don't be careless or reckless with your unmanned aircraft – you could be fined for endangering people or other aircraft
Avoid flying during the evening hours
Do not fly over any stadiums or racetracks
Do not fly in poor weather conditions such as reduced visibility or high winds
Do not fly under the influence of alcohol
Do not fly over sensitive infrastructures such as water treatment facilities, correctional facilities, power plants, high traffic roadways, government facilities
The statutory parameters of a model aircraft operation are outlined in Section 336 of Public Law 112-95 (the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012) (PDF). Individuals who fly within the scope of these parameters do not require permission to operate their UAS; any flight outside these parameters (including any non-hobby, non-recreational operation) requires FAA authorization. For example, using a UAS to take photos for your personal use is recreational; using the same device to take photographs or videos for compensation or sale to another individual would be considered a non-recreational operation.
FAA - Drone Registration
If you own a drone, you must register it with the Federal Aviation Administration's Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) registry. A federal law effective December 21, 2015 requires unmanned aircraft registration, and you are subject to civil and criminal penalties if you do not register.

Tuesday 5th April 2022 – 17:30 BST
Lion Air Flight JT610/Boeing 737 Max 8 – A Loss of Control in Flight Accident Case Study
Lion Air JT610 departed Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Jakarta Indonesia for Depati Amir Airport, Pangkal Pinang on 29th October 2018 at 6:20 AM local time. As the aircraft passed through 2,000 ft during initial climb-out, the nose suddenly pitched downwards and the crew attempted recovery. At 6:32 AM, the aircraft crashed into the sea with an airspeed in excess of 400 knots. All 189 persons on board lost their lives.
This fatal accident was a loss of control in flight (LOC-I) or “unintended deviation from flightpath”. LOC-I has been the number one category of fatal accident type over the last 60 years. Aircraft technology has seen significant development over this period with a corresponding reduction in fatal accident rate, yet LOC-I still persists. With technological advancements how could an accident like this have happened?. This lecture will explore contributory and causal factors and what is proposed to prevent future occurrences.

Captain Nils Jamieson CEng, MEng, ACGI, MRAeS
737-800 Fleet Technical Pilot, Jet2.com & Regional Safety Officer, GASCo
Nils Jamieson originally learnt to fly gliders in 1989 at age 14, with the Wolds Gliding Club at Pocklington. Moving on to gain a PPL(A) by 19, he intended to pursue a career in the airlines after finishing school. Eyesight rules at the time prevented this, leading to a career in Mechanical Engineering and lots of spare time to fly in the intervening 13 years, as well as being a part-time Flight Information Service Officer at Sywell Aerodrome. Happily, the eyesight rules changed in 2003 and Nils finally made it to the airlines in 2007, after a year of working as a part-time flying instructor. Still instructing part-time (mainly in Tiger Moths), he is currently a 737 Training Captain and the 737-800 Fleet Technical Pilot for Jet2.com, a role which currently includes the test and delivery of 34 new jets from Boeing to the UK. The engineering knowledge continues to be useful too – Nils is an independent Aviation Quality consultant and the proud owner of a 1946 Aeronca Chief. A GASCo volunteer RSO since 2009, Nils has presented over 100 Safety Evenings and other GA seminars all over the UK, Ireland, USA and Australia. He is passionate about flight safety and those who share his love of the skies.

More than 100 passengers were faced delays after the easyJet flight had to return to Belfast International Airport after passengers started a brawl.
Flight EZY554, which was carrying 139 people, was due to land in Newcastle at 5.15pm but was instead met by police when it returned to Northern Ireland.
Ten passengers were removed from the flight and warned about their behaviour. They were not allowed back on the plane.
The flight eventually left for Newcastle after a delay of more than an hour and a half.
A Belfast Airport spokesman said: "There was a disturbance on a flight while it was in the air and the pilot took the decision to return to Belfast. It appears the 10 passengers became disruptive following an argument but it is not known what caused this." | aerospace |

It’s called 2004 BL86, an asteroid about a third of a mile wide, and it travels at a speed of 35,000 miles an hour. As it zips along it’s orbital path — an orbit lasting about 1.84 Earth years — it will eventually pass by the Earth, getting as close as 745,000 miles away.
That might sound pretty far away but it’s about three times the distance from the Earth to the Moon (the Moon gets as close as 225,623 miles to us). In astrological terms, a pass of just 745,000 miles is a near-miss. It’s actually the closest miss that the Earth has seen, according to NASA.
It’s the closest near-miss to date, that is until 2027 when asteroid 1999 AN10 will pass as close as 19,000 miles from Earth’s surface. | aerospace |

Fort Fisher Air Force Station was used as a radar station during the Cold War as one of the numerous NORAD projects. It was founded in 1955 near the Kure Beach in North Carolina. During it's time, it was a state of the art facility which housed very large equipment to protect the radar from the elements. Deserted on June 30 1988, it is now used as a recreational center in Kure.
Backstory and Context
Fort Fisher is located near Kure Beach in North Carolina. It is part of the North Atlantic Air Defense Command (NORAD) program that was created in the 50’s. When Fort Fisher was first built, it was a Confederate Civil War fort that fell to the Union soldiers On January 15th, 1865. When the fort fell, the fate of the confederacy was decided. The fort kept a blockade and was a supply line for Robert E. Lee’s soldiers.
In the 20th century, the fort was a radar station during The Cold War. Before being used by the Air Force, it was called Fort Fisher Army Airfield. During World War II, the fort was used as an anti-aircraft artillery training facility. The vigorous training took place 6 days a week. It was rumored that a German U-boat surfaced near the coast of Fort Fisher in 1943. There were 48 buildings on the airfield site.Fort Fisher Air Force Station opened in 1955 on part of the former Fort Fisher Army Airfield. As part of the Air Force, it was used as a permanent radar station. The radar station was used during the Cold War and was operated by the 701st AC&W squadron. The radar system was designed as a ground control intercept and an early warning system. The radar system’s design was to alert the Air Force of any aircraft attack, which would give the speed and location of any attack aircraft.The older radar station electronics housed 6900 vacuum tubes along with 21 air-conditioned cabinets. Over the years, there have been advancements to the radar systems, such as the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment system, which picked up the activity in the air from the ground. After installing the system, the squadron was redesignated as the 701st radar squadron on July 1st, 1962. The radar station changed assignments many times during the Cold War, but it still had the same mission, to monitor the skies in order to keep people safe. The 701st radar squadron was deactivated and reactivated by the 701st defense group in March of 1970.The radar site was shut down permanently in 1988 and is now used as an Air Force recreational facility in Kure Beach. The original radar buildings are still there and are used as a training facility. All three of the tower radars are now gone. There is a two-lane bowling alley that is used as a museum for the fort. The FAA used the facility as a Joint Surveillance System and is now owned by the state of North Carolina.

Nearly 19 years later, the company’s first commercial space flight took off on Thursday. It was named Galactic 01. The Galactic 01 mission consisted of 6 people. There were 4 crew members and 2 pilots among them. The flight was taken 80 kilometers above the earth from the desert of New Mexico. Heavy rockets are usually used for space flight, but Virgin Galactic has made an aircraft for this.
The company calls this aircraft its ‘mothership’. After taking off from the runway, the ‘mothership’ rises to an altitude of 15,000 feet, where the spaceship separates from the mothership. After separating from the ‘mothership’, the spaceship reaches space moving at three times the speed of sound. According to Virgin Galactic, after reaching the end point, passengers will experience zero gravity for a short period of time. The total flight duration will be 90 minutes, after which, the spaceship will return to Earth and land on a special long runway. At present, it is not known whether the timing or take-off and landing protocol of the incoming flight will be the same as the first flight, or if there will be any changes.
Virgin Galactic is said to have sold 800 tickets for its commercial space flights so far. According to Aljazeera, he sold 600 tickets between 2005 and 2014. Their price was between 2 to 2.5 lakh dollars. Since then 200 more tickets have been sold, costing $450,000 (Rs 3.70 crore) per ticket. Virgin Galactic’s second space flight is expected to take off in August. The space journey of those people who have bought tickets will start from the second flight. | aerospace |

The aircraft employs at least four rotors to supply vertical lift. These are powered by independent electric motors and would operate in a very similar fashion to a quadcopter. Energy for theses motors would be provided by batteries and a generator connected to an internal combustion engine. This same engine will power a forward facing propellor that will pull the aircraft through the air once transitioned to horizontal flight. | aerospace |

After the first successful metal Additive Manufacturing programme, the Netherlands Aerospace Centre now offers a follow-up programme to support participants in their ambition to introduce certified metal AM parts.
A new four years Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology programme has started at the Metal Additive Manufacturing Technology Centre (MAMTeC) at NLR in Marknesse. Royal NLR will work with a consortium of partners on certification of critical metal AM components. The new programme is a follow-up of the successful first metal AM programme which ran from 2015 to 2018 and was focussed on the laser powder bed fusion method (L-PBF). For the new programme, the MAMTeC will be extended with a BeAM Modulo 400 machine dedicated to manufacture and repair parts according to the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process.
The new programme focuses on the certification of critical AM components for instance for aerospace, oil & gas, high-tech/high-spec industry, defence, and automotive applications. Especially these markets will have a great benefit from reduced weight, increased performance and higher efficiency that metal-AM can offer. To fulfil the stringent certification requirements, a qualified and stable manufacturing process is required. Therefore, research into the application of in-situ process monitoring systems will be an important part of the programme.
Another important part of the work during the programme will be related to the metal AM process simulation (virtual manufacturing) for both L-PBF and DED in order to gain insight into the temperature profile during processing. As a result, the residual stresses in the AM product can be predicted and an optimal AM production approach can be designed. Main target of the simulation is to establish a “first time right” manufacturing procedure.
Various materials will be investigated and test programmes will be executed to define the material properties of high performance materials such as Titanium and Nickel based Super alloys.
Participants of the new Public Private Partnership project are Oerlikon, Shell, Patria (Finland), BeAM (France), The Dutch Ministry of Defence, Thales, Aeronamic, KIMS (Korea) and Mokveld Valves. Participation is still open for other parties. Parties interested in this four years project are invited to contact the NLR program manager (t: +31 88 511 4204, e: [email protected]).

Greek officials are seeking closer ties to the U.S. military, a move that occurs as Turkey refuses to back down on acquiring a Russian air defense system that could compromise NATO aircraft.
Athens and Washington have been discussing expanded operations at Larissa Air Base, in central Greece, which includes potentially stationing KC-135 tankers and unmanned aerial vehicles there, as well as expanding training operations, according to Kathimerini, a daily Athens newspaper.
U.S. Air Forces Europe would not comment on future basing or force structure changes, but expanding training with the Greeks appears to be in the works regarding INIOHOS, an air exercise between NATO allies and partner nations.
“They have expressed desires to increase the scope and stature of the exercise, and we are happy to support them as we can on their efforts,” said a U.S. Air Forces Europe official. “The U.S. Air Force is preparing for Stolen Cerberus, a routine exercise between the Hellenic air force and U.S. Air Forces in Europe. As INIOHOS is a Hellenic air force-led exercise, we defer to them on plans for future iterations.”
Unarmed reconnaissance MQ-9 Reapers are flying from Larissa Air Base until August, Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon said. However, he, too, refused to comment on discussions taking place that could expand that commitment, and deferred to previous remarks by Defense Department leaders.
Last year, then-Defense Secretary James Mattis teased the idea of an increased military presence in Greece for U.S. forces.

The other airline that suffered a fatal crash involving the Max, Lion Air of Indonesia, has yet to take a new Max delivery.
Boeing reported the delivery as part of its June orders and delivery report. Overall it was also the busiest month for 737 Max deliveries since the grounding ended in late 2020, with 43 of the planes being delivered to customers. It was also the busiest month for any kind of commercial plane deliveries by Boeing since March of 2019, with a total of 51 deliveries.
It’s a sign that demand for the plane is returning to pre-crash levels. Boeing has so far delivered 443 of the 737 Max jets since the grounding ended, with 181 of those being delivered so far this year, up from 105 delivered in the first half of 2021.
Ethiopian did not respond to a request for comment on taking the delivery. Its web site lists four 737 Max planes in its fleet, and another 24 on order. It’s not clear how the June delivery affects those numbers. The airline also has 27 older versions of the 737 Max in its fleet.
The purchase was criticized by Robert Clifford, an attorney for families of the crash victims.
“This is really disappointing – a sad reminder for the crash victims families nearly three and a half years later, knowing that the Boeing Max will be flying again even in Ethiopia, where the crash happened,” he said.
Boeing has faced myriad problems in recent years, beyond the drop in demand for passenger planes that occurred during the pandemic. It is still waiting approval to again begin delivering the 787 widebody passenger planes that have been halted due to quality control issues.
Deliveries are crucial to Boeing’s bottom line since it gets most of the money from airline sales at the time of delivery. Analysts surveyed by Refinitiv forecast another narrow loss for Boeing when it reports second quarter results later this month. | aerospace |

The Air Force announcement confirmed documents obtained by The Gazette last month, showing that four Colorado bases — three of them in the Pikes Peak region — were competing with locations in California and Alabama to permanently house the new unit, which will oversee the space efforts of all armed services.
“The next step will be to complete site surveys and analysis of each candidate location for its ability to meet mission requirements, capacity, environmental impact and cost criteria,” the Air Force said in a news release.
The final release of the memorandum on basing decisions scuttles last-minute efforts by competitors including Florida to land the command. It also shows that Colorado Springs, temporary home for the command as it is being formed, likely will get to keep it. In March, the Trump administration announced that the command initially would be formed here with Peterson Air Force Base’s Gen. Jay Raymond as its boss.
Peterson and Schriever Air Force bases and Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station are three of six finalists for the command. Schriever and Peterson also have the facilities needed to house it, making them inexpensive alternatives.
The other Colorado finalist is Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora.
U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colorado, cheered the final release of the military’s worst-kept secret.
“Colorado is proud to support our nation’s military space operations today and into the future, the signing of this memo today is great news for our state,” Gardner said in an email. “I look forward to reviewing the Administration’s proposal for expanded space operation and development.”
Colorado still must beat out Alabama and California. Alabama has made a strong push in Congress to put the command at its Redstone Arsenal. But it does not now house big pieces of the military’s space enterprise, so it could prove to be an expensive and unpopular option.
In California, Vandenberg Air Force Base is a finalist as well, but it too faces challenges. Vandenberg is best known for launching satellites rather than controlling them in space. And military expansions in California have met as many protests as cheers in recent years.
In Colorado, local leaders may hear more about the Pentagon’s space plans when President Donald Trump gives the Air Force Academy’s graduation address May 30.
The president, who has spent the past year pushing a separate Space Force for satellite troops, swapped places with Vice President Mike Pence to give the Air Force Academy talk, leading to speculation that he’ll make his space initiatives a centerpiece of his speech. | aerospace |

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 4, 2007
The FAA has made a congressional proposition to hike up private jet travel fuel taxes from 21.8 cents per gallon to 70 cents per gallon. The same proposal will eliminate and reduce several commercial airline excise taxes, reducing the net tax burden for commercial users, according to the FAA.
FAA Administrator, Marion C. Blakey states, however, that commercial airline travel accounts for "about 73 percent of the cost of the air traffic system." Why should private jet travelers have to pay more taxes than the airlines for a service that is mostly used by the commercial airlines? Most general aviation flights - private jet charter flights - arrive and depart at fixed based operators with low air traffic activity that doesn't require or use FAA or FAA contracted air traffic control services.
The FAA states: "Unlike a discrete user fee, which can easily be set at different levels based on the type of facility used, it would be administratively burdensome to charge different fuel tax rates based on the facilities used." Thus commercial airlines and general aviation both pay 13.6 cents per gallon of jet fuel to fund the Airport Improvement Program. Only general aviation, nonetheless, pays an additional 56.4 cent common fuel tax rate due to projected industry growth by fiscal year 2009. Is the FAA charging general aviation for industry growth in the commercial airline sector? The FAA states that the funding plan will finance "NextGen" air traffic control and technology that will relieve all the congestion and delays in commercial airline airports. GA airports aren't plagued with congestion and delays.
Further, the FAA wants to charge a terminal fee to general aviation operators when they arrive or depart at one of the 30 largest hub airports. The NBAA states that at the 35 most congested and heavily trafficked airports, to which most of the FAA's funds and resources are allocated, general aviation accounts for just "six percent of total operations."
Other fees that will make private jet travel more expensive include higher user fees for aircraft registration, airmen certificates, airmen medical certificates, certificates for flight schools and training centers, certificates for repair stations and maintenance technical schools, designee appointment and training, training provided to international aviation authorities. The FAA states that these fees mostly affect general aviation.
Imperial Jets is giving its website visitors a portal to a NBAA Online Form that helps people who oppose the proposal structure a letter to their congress representatives. Once a user who opposes the FAA proposal enters his/her name, address, and zip code, the form creates a letter with the user's information. When the user submits the letter after further editing and approval, the system determines which congressmen represent the user by way of his/her zip code and sends the letter to the congressmen via email.
"This affects us, as it raises the cost of private jet travel that will incur an additional cost to our customers," argued Howard Gollomp, President and CEO of Imperial Jets.
NBAA spokesperson, Dan Hubbard, stated other aviation groups like respected members of Beech aircraft clubs and aviation themed chatrooms are also allied with the NBAA in voicing their opposition to the new FAA funding plan. "This will have a trickle down effect all the way from the top to the bottom of the industry," explained Hubbard.
Imperial Jets secures luxury charter air travel on a light, mid, super-mid, or heavy sized private jet to and from any location on the planet. | aerospace |

The new aircraft will become the first of 26 B787-9s delivered to United over the coming years, as part of a total commitment for 65 Dreamliners.
United’s B787-9 will be configured with 252 seats – 48 in business class, 88 in premium economy and 116 in economy. It will initially be deployed on the trans-Pacific route between Los Angeles and Melbourne, with six weekly flights commencing in October 2014.
“The 787-9 is an amazing aircraft that builds on the 787-8’s proven fuel efficiency, performance and customer comfort,” said Ron Baur, United’s vice president of fleet. “We are excited to add the 787-9 to our Dreamliner fleet as it gives us even more flexibility and range to capitalise on our extensive worldwide route network.”
The B787-9 is 6.1 metres longer than the B787-8 and can fly up to 15,200km. Like the B787-8 it will be one of the most fuel-efficient wide-body jets in the skies today, burning 20% less fuel than similar-sized aircraft.
Boeing has taken orders for 405 B787-9s, with the first aircraft due to enter service with Air New Zealand this summer. | aerospace |

News 12 Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Meredith Garofalo was there to witness the Atlas V rocket liftoff, propelling the satellite into space.
From the launch pad, into the sky, the next stop is separating from the rocket. Then, in just over a week, it will join its sister satellites above the Earth.
Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, the head of science at NASA, says the satellite has a little more leg work to go through before it gets to its destination.
"What we need to do now is use the engine of the spacecraft itself to fly to 22,000 plus miles to the geostationary orbit. That's the place where you can sit and stand on and it rotates exactly at the same time and speed as the earth,” he says.
The team of GOES-West and East will monitor and capture everything from snowstorms to tropical systems, to even wildfire smoke.
Once it gets into geostationary orbit, the satellite gets a number, so it would be GOES-18. It will then be swapped out with the current GOES-West satellite, which watches over the entire Western Hemisphere. | aerospace |

There's no better place to learn about aviation theory than NASA, the United States government's most infamous agency--the powerhouse of space exploration.
This NASA video segment from "Flight Testing Newton's Laws" explores where the center of gravity is on an airplane, how its location is determined, and why center of gravity is important for maintaining balance. An instructor and an engineer at NASA's National Test Pilot School teach that to control an aircraft, its center of gravity must be located where the wing lift is. Viewers also learn that computers in the aircraft redistribute the weight of fuel to maintain a safe zone for the center of gravity. Demonstrations show how to find the center of gravity of an irregularly shaped object and how the same scientific principles involved in balancing a seesaw apply to balancing an airplane. Viewers also learn that a moment is the product of force times the arm length.

In C-Band the standard transmit frequency is in the range of 5.925 Ghz to 6.425 Ghz. At the same time the earth station antenna is looking for a signal back from the satellite in the range of 3.7 to 4.2 Ghz.
The antenna transmit signal is very strong and the receive signal is weak and so it is possible that the transmit signal will interfere with the receive signal, but to avoid this all antenna feeds are equipped with a transmit/reject filter designed to remove all signals in the transmit range.
Shown in the photograph below are transmit reject filters manufactured by Apollo. Typically sold for $250 on the used market. | aerospace |

This mission will launch Neptec UK’s miniaturized Earth Observation IR Camera in a 3U CubeSat into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
The miniaturized IR camera payload has been developed and designed for use in nanosatellites and features very low mass, volume and power. Development of the flight camera has been funded by the UK Space Agency.
In collaboration with Satellite Applications Catapult Ltd. Neptec UK mapped the current and planned higher altitude satellites that have infrared (IR) capabilities. We then identified a market niche for Neptec UK’s lower level altitude missions which will provide much better resolution and more frequent passes than other satellites at a small fraction of the cost.
The objective of the test flight mission will be to monitor thermal activity on earth from Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The activities that will be monitored will include volcano activity, urban heat loss, weather, search and rescue, ocean shipping, iceberg tracking and forest fires.
At the conclusion of our test flight, we will share the collected data with our User Committee and will then together plan a constellation of 3U CubeSats which will provide end users with the information that they need. | aerospace |

Steve Petrich has turned his passion for aviation into a career and a lifestyle — first as a private and commercial airline pilot, and then as an inventor and entrepreneur.
Steve’s love of aviation began at a very early age, but his flying officially took off while the rest of his high school classmates were taking driver’s education courses. As a senior, Steve earned his private pilot’s license and before he reached his 21st birthday, he added his seaplane rating and commercial pilot’s license. Within a couple more years, Steve had his Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) license. In the past 30 years, Steve has logged more than 23,000 flight hours in the cockpits of a wide-range of aircraft from single-engine planes to multi-engine seaplanes and commercial airliners — gaining him a wealth of aviation experience and knowledge.
Never wavering in his love for all things aviation, Steve took his expertise and personal observations and created innovative products that were solutions to common problems — enhancing plane safety and streamlining administration activities.
Steve’s first aviation job was flying a Cessna 185 floatplane transporting fishermen and tourists into the remote areas of northern Minnesota and western Ontario. While he’s flown a variety of aircraft, seaplanes have always been near to his heart. It is from this fondness for seaplanes that his first entrepreneurial venture was born. A product of his frustrations trying to locate seaplane parts and supplies, Steve had the vision of a mail order, one-stop shop for seaplane pilots. In 1983, while still flying full-time as a commercial airline pilot, Steve started Lake & Air – using his townhouse garage as the office, warehouse and fulfillment center. In 1994, he sold Lake & Air to a leading aircraft float manufacturer.
In the early 1990s Steve’s personal experience with his own aircraft led him to another innovative idea — the 9600 Amphibian Gear Advisory System. This device was the first one of its kind to market. Today, an estimated 80 percent of the production amphibian aircraft currently have these units onboard.
After selling Lake & Air, Steve formed P2 Aviation Technology Inc. Since then, P2 has been behind some of the industry’s most innovative products including:
6600 and 6601 Audio Advisory System — A landing gear/Vne overspeed/Stall monitor introduced in 1995
Sky Buddy — A portable, low-cost heading and altitude reminder introduced in 2005
TimeTrac — General aviation's first integrated flight record management system introduced in 2006
Numerous other new products are currently on the drawing board awaiting release.
A true aviation enthusiast, Steve is a proud owner of an Aeronca Champ that he flies on wheels, skis or floats and a Cessna 206 amphibian. Never missing an opportunity to take either up for a flight, Steve logs an average of 125 hours a year in them. When he’s not flying, Steve can be reached at 952.472.2577 or [email protected]. | aerospace |

- Tests a combination of environmental factors
- Includes high and low temperature, humidity, altitude and vibration
- Combines Methods 500, 501, 502, 507 and 514
About MIL-STD-810 Method 520
Method 520 is a combination of the following test methods, including high temperature, low temperature, humidity, altitude and vibration.
- Method 500
- Method 501
- Method 502
- Method 507
- Method 514
By combining these into a single test, you get a cross-effect of multiple tests associated with the material that you’re trying to qualify. This allows you to see if a combination of certain factors creates a problem. For example, the individual tests for vibration only and humidity only, might pass without issue, but layering these two factors together may further stress your unit.
This type of testing is usually reserved for relatively extreme environments, like a missile launch or rugged altitude—a high-terrain vehicle, fighter jet or aircraft—where a combination of environmental effects are in play, so you need to test them together to see the cumulative effects on the unit at one time.
It’s critical that testing is tailored to your specific specs to ensure the test is valid for what you’re trying to accomplish. It’s very easy to over or under test, so you need to tailor appropriately to get the information you need without driving cost into the system or creating a potential liability. | aerospace |

The largest carrier at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, American Airlines, has no plans to ground its Boeing 737 Max 8 aircrafts. The airline, though, says it will continue to monitor the investigation into the crash of the same aircraft in Ethiopia Sunday that killed the nearly 160 people on board.
“American continues to collaborate with the FAA and other regulatory authorities, as the safety of our team members and customers is our number one priority,” the airline said in a statement. “We have full confidence in the aircraft and our crew members, who are the best and most experienced in the industry.”
The crash has prompted China, Ethiopia, and Indonesia to ground fleets of the 737 Max 8 in those countries. The same type of plane crashed shortly after takeoff from Indonesia last October, killing all of the nearly 190 people board. American Airlines says its fleet includes 24 737 Max 8 planes, which do not regularly fly into Charlotte. | aerospace |

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a SM-3 Block IIA missile was launched from an Aegis Ashore test site in Hawaii, but failed to hit another missile launched from an aircraft.
The missile, which is being developed by Raytheon Co, is used to target intermediate range missiles and is being developed with Japan.
The Missile Defense Agency did not comment on the outcome of the test, but confirmed that one had taken place.
"The Missile Defense Agency and U.S. Navy sailors manning the Aegis Ashore Missile Defense Test Complex (AAMDTC) conducted a live-fire missile flight test using a Standard-Missile (SM)-3 Block IIA missile launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii, Wednesday morning," Mark Wright, a spokesman for the agency, said.
An intercept test for the missile last June also failed, but there was a successful test in early 2017.
The last year has seen ramped-up North Korean missile launches, some of them over Japanese territory, and its sixth and most powerful nuclear test. These actions have prompted a stepped-up U.S.-led campaign to toughen U.N. sanctions, which Pyongyang has called an act of war.

After launch of Sputnik, the space race between U.S.A. and U.S.S.R started. Mercury Project was the first manned space program in U.S.A. And it's objective are
- To orbit a manned spacecraft around Earth
- To investigate man's ability to function in space
- To recover both man and spacecraft safely
20 times unmanned flights and six manned flights were done, and basic space flight technology were confirmed.
In parallel with this, the unmanned exploration plan "Ranger" and "Surveyor" to the moon were implemented. However, in the first half, the failure continued, and detailed information on the moon was available in 1964.
In 1961, only 20 days after the first manned flight in the United States, Apollo Project to send mankind to the moon was launched in a famous speech by President Kennedy at Rice University. However, there were plenty of technologies to develop before that. The Gemini program is a plan to develop the technology necessary to realize the Apollo program, such as rendezvous, docking, space suit, extravehicular activity etc, And it's objective are
- Make sure that astronauts and equipment can withstand two weeks of space flight.
- Realization of rendezvous with the orbiting spacecraft, docking, and docking propulsion technology.
- Establishment of atmospheric reentry and landing techniques to the planned point.
Then as an announcement of president Kennedy, Apollo reached to the moon face in the end of 1960th. There were many adversity. It was the grand sum of American space development.
Besides, Soviet went for the moon too with N-1 rocket. But the launch of N-1 failed four times, and the project was canceled.
Using Apollo resources, this was a project of making laboratory(Lab) in the Earth orbit(Sky). S-IVB : the third stage of Saturn booster was converted to the Space station can live three astronauts for long term. Three launch were done and total nine astronauts live for 171 days and 13 hours, and hundreds of experimentation, investigation were performed.
But because of budget cutback, SkyLab flew with no crew for years and years. If the Space Shuttle project started earlier, more astronauts aboarded the SkyLab. But it was delayed, then orbit of SkyLab descented by atmospheric attrition, it went down to Indian Ocean and Australia in July 1979 at last.
After the space race, international alliance are needed for space development. So U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. planned to develop common rendezvous and docking system for future international alliance.
The device called "ASTP Docking Module" was attached to the top of Apollo CSM. This module connected between Apollo and Soyuz, absorbed difference of pneumatic pressure.
SpaceShuttle was planned as low-cost, reusable spacecraft. Final design was decided in March 1972, but there were many new technologys to develop, like heat-stable tiles and so on, first flight was done in 1981. After that it brings lot of results like ISS : International Space Station and Hubble Space Telescope.
In 28.Jan.1986, OV-099 : Challenger at mission STS-51-L, exploded in the sky 73 second after the launch because of malfunction of SRB O-rings. Seven astronauts were lost.
In 01.Feb.2003, OV-102 : Columbia at mission STS-107, breaked down in the sky while re-entry, 16 minutes before landing. Seven astronauts were lost.
Just a few hundred times of flight is still in the stage of test flight in practical aircraft including airliners, the craft that has already been over 20 years since the first flight has gone aging and the United States decided to retire the Space Shuttle after two accidents. Using only a few missions left, it completed the International Space Station and stopped operating in 2011.
On 14th January 2004, President Bush announced the "Constellation Project" for the next space development project, including manned exploration on the moon and Mars. It uses a reusable spaceship called Orion CEV (Crew Exploration Vehicle) which is about three times the size of the CM of Apollo and new Ares booster. The plan reached the moon orbit with 6 astronauts, of which 4 astronauts planned to landing on the moon with Altair moon lander.
Then Constellation project has been frozen once a matter of money, development of the spacecraft called Orion MPCV(Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle), based on the Orion CEV spacecraft was announced in 2011. Orion CEV aimed for manned flight to ISS and moon, but Orion MPCV aims manned flight to farther bodies such as Mars and asteroids. Lockheed Martin Corp. will continue to develop this spacecraft from Orion CEV. Like Orion CEV, the appearance is a conical capsule type with a base length of 16.5 feet (5 m). It weighs about 23 tons and carry four astronauts at once. Of course, when heading to Mars or an asteroid, a resident module is prepared separately, and the astronaut will live here. Also, instead of Ares, a new booster called the Space Launch System (SLS) will be developed.
The first unmanned Orion MPCV was launched by Delta IV Heavy rocket on December 5, 2014 with mission name Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1), and made 2 laps of 3,600 miles (5,800 km) over the earth. Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), the first flight combining Orion MPCV and SLS, is scheduled to do lunar orbiting flight unmanned in 2020.
In addition, NASA plans to utilize the capsule type spacecraft developed by two private companies (CST-100 Starliner of Boeing Company, Crew Dragon of SpaceX Company) to transport astronauts to ISS. The test flight is expected to start as early as 2019.
But these plans are against the mass transport to space that was expected in the success of the space shuttle, Advancement to the space development of the general public seems to be greatly recessed. For a while, the general public will only feel a cosmic mood of just a few minutes on an out-of-atmosphere ballistic flight planned by a private space travel agency such as Virgin Galactic.
Project Mercury: America in Space Series
Schiffer 2016/02/02 USD17.44
Project Mercury was America's entry into the manned spaceflight program. When the program began in 1958, the Soviet Union was far ahead of the US in the race for supremacy in space. With immense effort, and in record time, NASA, the newly created spaceflight organization, developed a space transport system with orbital capsule and booster rockets. They used it to send Alan Shepard on a first suborbital "jump" into space in May 1961, and in February 1962 to make John Glenn the first American astronaut to orbit the earth. Nevertheless, the Americans were beaten by the Soviets in the race to put the first man into space. Project Mercury was, however, the foundation for NASA's later success in the race to the moon. All Project Mercury missions are discussed, including details on all craft and the astronauts involved. Superb color, archival images, cutaways and plans are also included.

On October 4, 1957 at 10:28 Moscow time, a rocket carrying the world's first orbiting satellite roared into space, signaling a new era in human history and the beginning of the so-called "space race" - an epic rivalry pitting the technological know-how of the Soviet Union against that of the United States. Despite some highly publicized failures, the USA managed to answer the Russians with the successful launch of Explorer 1 in January of 1958. The next major milestone would be to put a human into orbit, a goal that defined the USA's Project Mercury. After a long series of test launches including a sub-orbital flight with the chimp Ham on board, Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space.
Project Gemini: America in Space Series

In just two-and-a-half years, beginning in 1964, two unmanned and ten manned flights took place in the Gemini program. This program was the turning point in the space race with the USSR; from then on the Americans took the lead. Flights lasting two weeks, into the Van Allen Belt, the first extravehicular activities, rendezvous maneuvers and docking with other spacecraft―all of this was achieved by Gemini, paving the way for the more demanding moon landing program. It was not all success, however. Like almost every significant undertaking, Project Gemini also had its dramas and tragedies.

Just ten days after Alan Shepard Jr. became America's first man in space on May 5, 1961, President John F. Kennedy challenged the nation, suggesting that the United States should land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. The ambitious goal of Project Apollo required a series of intermediate steps, which were to be explored by Project Gemini. Created on January 3, 1962, Project Gemini's objectives were many. During ten manned flights in 1965 and 1966, astronauts would perform spacewalks, rendezvous with orbiting vehicles using maneuvering and propulsion systems, and perform docking tests.

Schiffer 2016/10/28 USD19.99
In May 1961, American president John F. Kennedy committed the nation to carrying out a manned landing on the moon before the end of the decade. This volume covers the early years of the Apollo program (1960-1967), still the most significant space effort in the history of mankind. In a very short time, NASA developed the mighty Saturn rockets, the Apollo spacecraft, and the lunar lander. This breathtaking development came at a cost, however, as in 1967 astronauts Virgil Grissom, Roger Chaffee, and Edward White lost their lives during a test. Ten months after the catastrophe, however, the Saturn V, America’s moon rocket, made its triumphal unmanned maiden flight. After that, just twenty more months would pass before man set foot on another celestial body for the first time.

* Monday's announcement paves way for crash investigation
* Likely to be even tougher that 2009 Air France case
* Plane debris, if found, should give clues to what happened
By Siva Govindasamy and Tim Hepher
KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Reuters) - Confirmation that a missing Malaysian airliner crashed in the Indian Ocean opens the way for what could be one of the most costly and challenging air crash investigations in history.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said Flight MH370 had ended far from any runway, signalling a shift of focus from a search for survivors to a mission to recover bodies and hunt for debris and black boxes.
Based on fresh analysis of satellite data by UK-based Inmarsat, Malaysia's decision to declare the aircraft lost in international waters marks a new phase in a search which has narrowed to an area southwest of Perth, Australia.
A civil investigation is likely to be carried out by Malaysia with the support of others, two people familiar with the matter said, ending two weeks of apparent legal limbo.
The launch of an official air crash investigation would give Malaysia power to coordinate and sift evidence, but it may still face critics, especially China. Continuación... | aerospace |

Sales for the full year were up 6% from the prior year, while earnings per share rose 12%. Free cashflow in 2022 totaled $4.9 billion, significantly better than forecast in October. The company projects further sales gains in 2023 due primarily to recovery in commercial aircraft markets. Revenues are expected to reach $72-73 billion, representing 7-9% organic sales growth over 2022.
With business lines spread across military and commercial, domestic and foreign, production and aftermarket segments, the company looks well on its way to becoming the world’s biggest aerospace and defense enterprise.
However, scale is just one element in the plan of Chairman & CEO Greg Hayes to make Raytheon Technologies the global leader in its industry. The company has previously stated that its top priorities going forward include spurring innovation, delivering synergies and driving structural cost reduction.
With all that in mind, Hayes early last year directed newly-minted Chief Operating Officer Chris Calio to develop options for further streamlining and integrating the company, which was formed in 2020 by combining the aerospace and defense operations of Connecticut-based United Technologies
The enterprise has already undergone extensive rationalization, for example by shrinking the number of major business units in the legacy Raytheon defense business from four to two while offloading some lines that were not a good fit with long-term plans.
Tuesday’s earnings call signaled that the rationalization is not done. The company now intends to merge the two remaining Raytheon business units into a single entity in order to achieve financial and functional synergies, while also expanding the roles of some lines in the sprawling Collins Aerospace portfolio.
Longtime observers of Raytheon will have little difficulty grasping the logic of these moves. One of the peculiar characteristics of the legacy Raytheon defense business was that similar competencies were spread across multiple business units.
The reorganization that occurred after merging with United Technologies eliminated the most obvious redundancies in that arrangement, but Calio found further room for integrating the enterprise to reduce costs and bolster synergies, which CEO Hayes is now moving to address.
Here are five segments of the military market, among others, where the realignment is seeking gains in efficiency:
- Air dominance. The realignment will combine an array of orbital, airborne and surface-based sensors made by the company with diverse “effectors”—kinetic and non-kinetic— to generate integrated solutions for U.S. warfighters and allies.
- Networked battlespace. The realignment will leverage technologies developed by the company’s space and intelligence business with commercial technologies provided by Collins to fashion open-architecture solutions to the challenge of connecting all warfighters in a robust, resilient network.
- Space operations. The realignment will combine in one business unit all of the company’s space-related lines—sensors, satellites, ground stations—to provide end-to-end solutions at a time when orbital opportunities for defense companies are expanding rapidly.
- Hypersonic weapons. The realignment will bring together the company’s ongoing work on offensive systems with technologies relevant to tracking and intercepting hostile hypersonic weapons launched by Russia or China.
- Counter-drone technology. The realignment will assemble in one business unit all of the technologies related to defeating hostile unmanned aerial systems, ranging from electronic warfare to directed energy to kinetic interceptors.
The company believes that, correctly executed, the combination of the two pre-existing defense units into a single entity called simply “Raytheon” will reduce costs through economies of scale and decreased duplication while making the overall enterprise more responsive to government customers.
Going forward, the enterprise will have three overarching business units: the Raytheon business that is oriented primarily to military customers; the Pratt & Whitney engine business that is a leading supplier to civil, commercial and military markets; and the Collins Aerospace business that provides commercial and military customers with aerostructures, avionics, mechanical systems, aircraft controls and related products.
The latter business alone contains over 150 major product lines installed on 100,000 aircraft, and holds tens of thousands of patents.
The integration of former Raytheon product lines under a single business unit is probably not the last time the company will rethink how it is organized. Both of the companies that Hayes merged three years ago trace their origins to the 1920s, and have undergone numerous transformations during a hundred-year history—including for a while becoming multi-industry conglomerates.
Raytheon Technologies as it exists today, though, is focused almost entirely on aerospace and defense markets (Hayes called it a “pure-play aerospace and defense company” on Tuesday’s earnings call). The challenge he faces in seeking industry leadership is how to be both very big and very nimble.
COO Calio, who previously ran the Pratt & Whitney unit, has spent his year-long tenure as number-two executive analyzing how these twin goals might be reconciled in an enterprise that regularly out-performs the low-double-digit margins typical of first-tier defense contractors.
Hayes announced on Tuesday that Calio will assume the additional title of corporate President effective March 1.
Time will tell whether this latest refinement in company plans accomplishes its intended aims, but one thing is already clear: for CEO Hayes, simply being the biggest isn’t enough. He also wants to be the best, and he has a list of demanding criteria against which to judge whether he is achieving that goal.
As noted above, Raytheon Technologies is a contributor to my think tank. | aerospace |

The airline said problems with its third-party flight planning supplier were behind the delays, as customers reported disruption in departing cities including Denver, New York and Miami.
Passengers reported delays of up to seven hours on Twitter with some complaining of a lack of communication from the airline.
Others complained of a lack of compensation for the delays.
The airline said later the issue had been resolved.
In a statement, British Airways said: “Our teams have now resolved a temporary issue that affected some of our long-haul flight planning systems overnight, which resulted in delays to our schedule. We’re sorry for the disruption caused to our customers’ travel plans.”
The issue did not affect flights that had already departed and was not a safety issue. Short-haul flights were unaffected.
In an earlier statement, the airline said: “Our flights due to depart the USA tonight are currently delayed due to a technical issue with our third-party flight planning supplier, which we are urgently investigating.
“We’re sorry for any disruption this will cause to our customers’ plans, our aim is for these flights to depart as quickly as possible.” | aerospace |

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|307th Air Refueling Group|
Emblem of the 307th Air Refueling Group
|Branch||United States Air Force|
The 307th Air Refueling Group is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 47th Air Division, stationed at Travis Air Force Base, California. It was inactivated on 31 December 1983
Two Presidential Unit Citations were awarded to the Group during World War II, one for action in the bombing of the Island of Truk, the most heavily defended and strongly fortified Japanese base in the Pacific. During withdrawal. gunners of the Group destroyed 31 of the 75 attacking aircraft, probably destroyed 12 more and damaged 10 in an air battle that lasted 43 minutes. This daring raid, made on 29 March 1944, neutralized the Japanese airfields, making possible long range flights without fighter protection, The other Presidential Unit Citation was awarded for the successful strike at the Baltkapapan Oil Refineries in Borneo on 30 September 1944. The 307th had to fly their B-24 Liberator bombers 17 1/2 hours for a round trip of 2,610 miles, the longest mass daylight mission ever flown by this type aircraft.
In the postwar era, the 93d Bombardment Group was one of the USAAF bombardment groups assigned to Strategic Air Command on 4 August 1946, the group being activated as a redesignation of the 498th Bombardment Group due to the Air Force's policy of retaining only low-numbered groups on active duty after the war.
The group deployed to Okinawa during the Korean War and was awarded the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation for its air strikes against enemy forces in Korea. It was also awarded the Distinguished Unit Citation and several campaign streamers. The group was inactivated in 1952 when the parent wing adopted the Tri-Deputate organization and assigned all of the groups squadrons directly to the wing.
- For additional history and lineage, see 307th Strategic Wing
Activated on 15 April 1942. Trained and flew patrols off the West Coast, first in B-17's and later in B-24's. Moved to Hawaii, October-November 1942, and assigned to Seventh AF. Trained and flew patrol and search missions. Attacked Wake Island, December 1942-January 1943, by staging through Midway.
Moved to Guadalcanal in February 1943 and assigned to Thirteenth AF. Served in combat, primarily in the South and Southwest Pacific, until the war ended. Attacked Japanese airfields, installations, and shipping in the Solomons and Bismarcks. Helped to neutralize enemy bases on Yap and in the Truk and Palau Islands. Received a DUC for an unescorted, daylight attack on heavily defended airfields in the Truk Islands on 29 March 1944. Supported operations in the Philippines by striking Japanese shipping in the southern Philippines and by bombing airfields on Leyte, Luzon, Negros, Ceram, and Halmahera. Also took part in Allied air operations against the Netherlands Indies by hitting airfields, shipping, and installations.
Received a DUC for an unescorted mission against vital oil refineries at Balikpapan, Borneo, on 3 October 1944. Supported Australian forces on Borneo and bombed targets in French Indochina during the last three months of the war.
Flew patrol missions along the Asiatic mainland and ferried liberated prisoners from Okinawa to Manila after V-J Day. Returned to the US, December 1945-January 1946. Inactivated on 18 January 1946.
Redesignated 307th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy). Activated on 4 August 1946. Assigned to Strategic Air Command. Equipped with B-29's. Trained and developed antisubmarine tactics. Redesignated 307th Bombardment Group (Medium) in May 1948. Based temporarily on Okinawa and attached to Far East Air Forces for operations during the Korean War. Attacked strategic objectives in North Korea, August-September 1950. After that, struck interdictory targets, including communications and supply centers, and supported UN ground forces by hitting gun emplacements and troop concentrations.
Became non-operational when parent wing adopted Tri-Deputate organization, 10 February 1951 and all assigned squadrons were attached directly to the wing. Inactivated 16 June 1952
Reactivated in 1977 as a KC-135 Air Refueling group at Travis AFB, California. Inactivated in 1983 due to a SAC force structure realignment.

Wow, what an encouraging response! Thank you; it helps.
So far it's been a totally normal bumpy flight, which is fine. A few longish stretches with seatbelt sign on, I think about 2 hrs to go.
I've experienced true severe turbulence only once -- my very first flight (1997), if you can believe it! I have never experienced anything even remotely close to that level of turbulence again.

This technology, which is 3D printing on a large scale, has the potential to revolutionize the way planes and aircraft parts are made. In fact, the global aircraft MRO market is predicted to expand steadily in part due to the potential of additive manufacturing.
3D Printing in Aerospace
This past year, Airbus, in partnership with Rolls-Royce, revealed plans to build the Trent XWB-97 engine for use in the A350-1000, making it the first aircraft engine containing components created using additive manufacturing. This engine, deemed by Rolls-Royce to be the “most efficient civil aircraft engine,” has an aero engine structure formed through this new manufacturing method. In November, the Airbus A350-1000 flew its first successful test flight, a four-hour 14-minute duration around Toulouse, using this 3D printed piece. But Airbus isn’t the only major manufacturer making waves with this new technology.
Implications for the Future of Production
Over the summer, Boeing, in conjunction with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, made news for earning a Guinness World Record for the largest, single piece, solid object created using additive manufacturing. The piece, a 777x wing trim tool used for creating the wings of the next generation of 777 planes, was “printed” in a mere 30 hours. This is in vast contrast to the three-month average it takes to create this tool using traditional manufacturing methods. The incredible reduction in time this process took has massive implications for an industry with tight timelines and that, in recent years, has been plagued by the fallout from manufacturing delays.
Beyond scheduling, additive manufacturing also has incredible environmental implications. The process of 3D printing can be very resource efficient, utilizing only the material needed for a particular part. This contrasts with traditional manufacturing, in which even the leanest of facilities creates waste in the form of leftover and unused materials. Additionally, additive manufacturing allows for smaller production orders. As Matthew Timms of World Finance explains, “Whereas the traditional supply chain relies on the efficiencies of mass production and requires a high volume of assembly workers, additive manufacturing needs little more than the necessary raw material to fulfil any one order and the necessary blueprint to produce it.”
Additive Manufacturing and the Supply Chain
Additive manufacturing is another incoming technology with amazing implications for all sectors of the aerospace supply chain. With on-site 3D printers, suppliers can create highly customized aircraft parts with much less waste of time and resources. The speed at which these parts can be manufactured in this way also allows for less overstock when creating these customized pieces. Additive manufacturing also has the potential to create a digital supply chain that offers files to manufacturers rather than physical items, helping to alleviate disruptions in the chain. And, as manufacturers and airlines adapt to absorb new technologies like 3D printing, Kapco Global will continue to do the same.

Spacecom, the AMOS satellites operator, announced in 2007 that it has signed an agreement to build and launch AMOS-4, the newest addition to the AMOS constellation, with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). IAI constructed the satellite for approximately US $365 million.
Spacecom daid US $100 million for AMOS-4, with a US $22.5 million first payment in January 2010 and a $6.25 million final payment upon the satellite's delivery. The Israeli government will pay Spacecom US $265 million generated from a pre-launch deal to supply it with services on AMOS-4 over the satellite's full 12 year life span.
The satellite's weight at launch was approximately 3.4 tons. AMOS 4 carries a large number of transponders in high power Ka and Ku bands. AMOS-4, located around the 64ºE to 76ºE orbital slot, broadens the range of markets Spacecom can reach and the number of potential clients the company can serve. Spacecom's current constellation includes AMOS 1 and AMOS 2 operating at 4ºW, an orbital position it will share with AMOS 3. When AMOS-4 comes online, Spacecom will reach close to 80% of the world's population.
After pre-sold capacity to the Israeli government is utilized, AMOS-4 has available eight Ku-band transponders of 108 MHz and four high power Ka-band transponders of 218 MHz with steerable beams.

The FAA purposely delayed flights at major airports from April 21-27 because the agency furloughed about 10 percent of its air traffic controllers in response to the automatic budget cuts known as the sequester. Congress quickly passed a bill to give the FAA flexibility to move money around in its budget to end the flight delays as passenger complaints mounted.
The airline groups’ petition said all of its flights for April should be omitted from the DOT’s delay count because the industry’s scheduling was done before the sequester cuts were put into place.
“Airlines’ flight schedules were devised and implemented in a timely manner and in good faith based on the airlines’ (and the traveling public’s) reasonable expectation that the FAA would be able to accommodate projected flight volumes at the affected airports and across the NAS generally,” the airline petition said.
“Flights were sold in the normal course of business months in advance of the furlough plan, planes were full, and the delays and flight cancellations that resulted from the FAA’s furlough plan caused tremendous turmoil for the traveling public,” the petition continued.
A spokesman for the DOT declined to comment on the airline groups' request, saying only that the petition is "under review."

Owning them is also easy as they are very affordable. Access to light sports aircraft is also easy as the regulatory framework is very weak.
With simple instrumentation and flying experience, the airplane caters to a broader range of pilots. The reduced complexity of the aircraft operation makes flying a more joyful experience. The search for a lightweight, affordable with the thrill of flying experience makes the air performance a worthwhile experience. The speed and the fuel capacity are maintained at the max which offers easy maneuverability and control over the aircraft flown.
Light sports aircraft are equipped for recreation purposes. Being lightweight and with reduced fuel consumption, LSAs are best for a weekend getaway or for individuals to experience the thrill of flying. The search to conquer life and the sky leads many individuals to take up flying.
Under the rules laid down by the FAA, LSA has a limited range and fuel capacity. This makes flying long distances impossible. The air time of the flight is also greatly reduced and safety measures have to be taken so that it does not affect the life of the airplane.
Since the LSA has a lesser weight ratio and light airframe, adverse weather condition affects it a lot. Pilots must be aware of the weather conditions of the location to make informed decisions to fly the airplane. Many models have safety measures like retractable gear and canopy to protect them in air or land. The manufacturers incorporate many safety measures at the location of the aircraft. Light sport aircraft presents a dynamic and increasing community all over the world. With many air sports clubs mushrooming, the sale of LSA is bound to increase. Technological advancements by the manufacturers are also looking to increase sales and owning the aircraft an easy option. The growth of pilots looking for recreational experience also caters to the growth of this segment. The possibilities of owning the aircraft and the relaxed rules by the FAA have given rise to many recreational pilots. This segment is bound by leaps and bounds by the combined measures of the FAA and enthusiasts. The simple detail and manufacturer impetus make this a growing segment. | aerospace |

Orville and Wilbur Wright built their own wind tunnel to test airfoils and measure how to lift a flying machine into the sky. They were the first to discover that a long, narrow wing shape is ideal for flight. They figured out how to move the vehicle freely, not just across land but up and down on a cushion of air. They built a moveable part of the tail to control the pitch of their craft as it nosed up and down. They fashioned a pair of twin rudders in back to control its tendency to swerve off course. They devised a pulley system that warped the shape of the wings in midflight to turn the plane and to stop it from rolling side-to-side.
They used the data from their wind-tunnel experiments to design the first effective airplane propellers.
When they discovered that a lightweight gas-powered engine did not exist, they designed and built their own.

In this post:
Japan Airlines A350 misses Fukuoka curfew, diverts to Osaka
This incident happened on Sunday, February 19, 2023, and involves Japan Airlines flight JL331, scheduled to operate from Tokyo (HND) to Fukuoka (FUK). The flight was operated by a two year old Airbus A350-900 with the registration code JA07XJ.
The 549-mile flight was scheduled to depart at 6:30PM and arrive at 8:30PM, and was blocked at two hours. Unfortunately that’s not how the flight ended up playing out, though.
Fukuoka Airport has a 10PM curfew. This is Japan, so you know that 10PM means 10PM. This curfew can only be broken with prior written approval, so that can’t be done last minute if you happen to approach just a few minutes late. Due to weather in the Tokyo area, the flight only ended up taking off a bit under two hours behind schedule, at 8:18PM.
The plane started its journey to Fukuoka, climbing up to 26,000 feet. Well, I guess the plane wasn’t going quite fast enough, because it missed the airport’s curfew by a matter of minutes. For example, below is the flight tracking for where the aircraft was at 9:58PM, just miles from Fukuoka Airport.
At that point the pilots were informed that they wouldn’t be allowed to land in Fukuoka, so plans were made to divert to another airport not subjected to a curfew. The decision was then made to fly to Kansai Osaka Airport (KIX), which is one of the carrier’s largest airports outside of the Tokyo area. The plane ended up landing there around 2hr40min after departing Tokyo, at 10:56PM local time.
Below is a Japanese news story about the incident.
Japan Airlines A350 returns to Tokyo in middle of night
At this point Japan Airlines had a plane load of passengers in Osaka, a city in which passengers neither originated in or intended to travel to. Furthermore, the crew was allegedly timing out, so couldn’t fly the passengers any further. Somehow Japan Airlines found a replacement crew at this hour of the night. The decision was made to return to Tokyo, where the passengers had originated, since that airport wouldn’t be subject to a curfew.
The flight ended up taking off at 1:55AM, and landing in Tokyo at 2:44AM. So over eight hours after their scheduled departure, passengers found themselves exactly where they started.
Passengers were then reportedly given hotel vouchers, compensation of 20,000 JPY (~$150), and were rebooked on other flights on Monday.
The wildest part of this story
Here’s what makes this even more interesting. Japan Airlines had two other flights scheduled to operate from Tokyo to Fukuoka after the above flight. While JL331 was scheduled to depart at 6:30PM, JL333 was scheduled to depart at 7:15PM and JL335 was scheduled to depart at 7:30PM.
Interestingly both of those flights managed to land in Fukuoka that night after the curfew. JL333 landed at 10:13PM, while JL335 landed at 10:16PM. Clearly Japan Airlines requested written permission in advance for those flights, realizing that they’d arrive after the curfew.
It would appear that for whatever reason, Japan Airlines’ operations department thought that JL331 could land in Fukuoka before the curfew, or else written permission would have been requested as well. The passengers on JL331 sure were unlucky…
A Japan Airlines Airbus A350 flying from Tokyo to Fukuoka had a departure delay due to bad weather, and ended up approaching Fukuoka just a few minutes after the curfew kicked in. The plane then diverted to Osaka, where the crew was changed, and then the flight flew back to Tokyo in the middle of the night.
While I can appreciate the logic of airports having curfews, surely there should be some leeway when it comes to situations like this, which are in no one’s best interest. Think of the amount of time and resources (including fuel!) that were wasted.
What do you make of this Japan Airlines diversion?
PS: Do I get any bonus points for my maturity, and not making a single pun about the airport code? 😉 | aerospace |

This is why we chose to develop an autonomous flight attendant robot.
What it does
with this project, a passenger can order amenities from their seat. They use an app to make their request. Then the request goes to an app monitored by a human flight attendant. The flight attendant then loads the item on to the robot and presses an execution button on the app. The robot is then given coordinates to the seat of the passenger and delivers the item autonomously. The robot then comes back on its own to return to the flight attendant's station.
How I built it
We used ROS to connect to a Koboki robot on linux. Using an inferred camera, the robot maps the hull of the plane. Then we can mark a coordinate in the hall, and send a request for the robot to visit that location and come back. We also built 4 apps 2 passenger apps in Swift for iOS, and Java for Android. Then 2 for the flight attendant also in Swift and in Java.
Challenges I ran into
We had to learn to use ROS to communicate with the robot. We then raced to finish the apps for the passenger and the flight attendant.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
This project required getting a lot of work done in a very short period. We are very proud of the work we got accomplished.
What I learned
Working together as a team made this project possible. none of us would have been capable of doing so much so quickly alone.
What's next for FlightBot
FlightBot is a model that can be expanded in this field. We can envision a time where a human could manage a team of FlightBots on multiple planes from a remote location. This model could also be applied to many service industries as well. | aerospace |

Leading Aviators Aboard Represent Past, Present and Future of Aviation
ATLANTA, GA, September 22, 2007 – The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) today welcomed a commemorative flight into Atlanta’s DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, near the site of NBAA’s 60th Annual Meeting & Convention. The flight, originating from New York (the site of NBAA’s first meeting in 1947), was completed in a very light jet (VLJ) piloted by aviators representing business aviation’s storied past, its modern-day present and its visionary future.
“This commemorative flight represents several important milestones for NBAA, the state of Georgia and a number of our Member Companies,” said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. “We are proud to recognize these achievements, starting with this flight, and continuing throughout this year’s Convention.”
Joining Bolen on the flight was Pat Epps, president of Atlanta-based Epps Aviation, who is widely recognized as a leader and innovator in general aviation. His father, Ben T. Epps Sr., built and piloted the first powered aircraft in Georgia 100 years ago. Also aboard was 23-year-old Augusta, GA, native Jamail Larkins, known for obtaining his pilot’s license at 14 years of age. Larkins now serves as a special assistant at NBAA and also as a youth ambassador for the Federal Aviation Administration, where he is tasked with educating youth about aviation.
Bob Stangarone, vice president of corporate communications for Cessna Aircraft Company, co-piloted the aircraft alongside Cessna pilot Jim Perry. The aircraft, a new Cessna Citation Mustang, was provided for the commemorative event by Cessna. The Mustang and other VLJs mark an evolution in general aviation aircraft manufacture.
The National Aeronautic Association is expected to certify today’s flight from New York as a record-setting trip by a VLJ for “speed over a recognized course.”
To complement the involvement of the VLJ in the commemorative flight, a replica of Georgia’s first aircraft – a monoplane built by Epps in 1907 – will be suspended over a Georgia Centennial of Flight Welcome Center display in the Georgia World Congress Center, Hall C Atrium, to welcome visitors.
The NBAA 60th Annual Meeting & Convention and related activities will be held in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center and Fulton County Airport from September 22 through 29. For more information, visit www.nbaa.org/2007.
