Though it's currently focusing on Chandrayaan-II, readying it for an October launch, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), is also planning a major experiment as a follow-up to the successful testing of the reusable launch vehicle technology demonstrator (RLV-TD). It has already completed low subsonic tests and the wind tunnel model with landing gear at IIT-Kanpur, reports Times of India. Here's more.
ISRO aims to create RLV's scaled-up version and conduct an orbital re-entry experiment. A suitable site has reportedly been identified for configuring landing runway with navigational aids needed for an autonomous descent. Now aids/systems required for unmanned landing need to be set up. Though ISRO head Kailasavadivoo Sivan has confirmed several RLV-TD experiments are in the pipeline, he said work would begin only next year.
Meanwhile, ISRO has announced 52 vacancies for the posts of technician, draughtsman and technical/library assistant at its Bengaluru's satellite centre. The last date for submitting online applications is May 11. The application fee is Rs. 250. However, female/SC/ST/PWD candidates need not pay it. The minimum educational qualification needed to applying for technician/draughtsman is Class 10 and a relevant diploma for technical assistant. | aerospace |

Beaverbrook, or Max Aitken has he was then, entered Parliament at the general election of December 1910, when he was elected the Liberal Unionist member for Ashton-under-Lyne.
Ennobled in January 1917, he served out the last few months of the Great War as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister of Information.
In November 1916, he acquired the controlling interest in the Daily Express, though it remained a secret until late 1918. Under his leadership, the Express was transformed within 20 years from a poor imitation of the Daily Mail selling 350,000 copies a day, to the country’s top daily with a circulation of 2,329,000.
Beaverbrook transferred those same organisational skills to MAP. Trevor Westbrook of Vickers Armstrong (Aviation) Ltd was brought on board.
There were others. Horace Clarke, who worked in the development of alloys became Director of Light Alloys (Aluminium and Magnesium). George Usher was appointed Controller General of Materials Production.
Francis Banks, an aero-engine fuels specialist who had been in charge of fuel for Britain’s entrants in the Schneider Trophy races, was put in charge of aero-engine production. A. H. Hird, on secondment from Vickers-Armstrong, held sway at the Machine Tools Directorate.
Beset by problems, the incomplete shadow factory at Castle Bromwich had yet to complete a single Spitfire, despite promising 60 a week from the beginning of April.
Industrial relations were so abysmal that workers were threatening strike action, management skills were poor, and an indifference to using tooling and drawings supplied by Supermarine defied logic.
The plant was supposedly being run by the Nuffield Organisation. Only three days after taking office, Beaverbrook effectively conned Lord Nuffield into placing the plant under direct ministry control.
Incensed at being outmanoeuvred, Nuffield complained to Churchill. Unfortunately for Nuffield, Beaverbrook sent in Sir Charles Fairey of Fairey Aviation, who compiled a damning report on the place.
Beaverbrook brought in managers from Supermarine and handed the factory over to Vickers Armstrong (Aircraft). Air Chief Marshall Hugh Dowding and Beaverbrook were both convinced that, in the short term, the RAF was going to need fighter aircraft rather than bombers.
Castle Bromwich’s bomber contracts were immediately cancelled, and priority given to building Spitfires. Ten Mk II Spitfires were completed during June 1940, 23 in July, just under 40 in August and nearly 60 during September.
Though Hurricane and Spitfire fighter production had priority, they formed part of Beaverbrook’s ‘Five Types’ project. The others were three bombers – the Bristol Blenheim, the Avro Wellington and the Armstrong Whitworth Whitley. The output of other types of aircraft was scaled back as materials were redirected.
Almost immediately upon taking office, Beaverbrook cancelled deliveries of all training aircraft from the United States to the UK, insisting that valuable space on merchant ships be given to bringing over fighter aircraft.
Writing for the London Gazette in September 1946, Dowding summed up Beaverbrook’s appointment. “The effect of this appointment can be described as magical, and thereafter the supply situation improved to such a degree that the heavy aircraft wastage which was later incurred during the Battle of Britain ceased to be a primary danger, its place being taken by the difficulty of producing trained fighter pilots in adequate numbers.”
The ministry reorganised aircraft repairs by establishing the Civilian Repair Organisation (CRO). Fighter aircraft with light damage that could be rectified within a few hours were to return to base for repair by RAF personnel.
Those with damage likely to take around 24 hours to rectify but still flyable were directed to land at improvised repair depots established about 30 miles west of London. The pilot would wait for the repairs to be completed, then fly the aircraft back to base.
Those too shot-up to fly to a repair depot were moved by road. Badly damaged aircraft were sent for rebuilding or to be stripped of anything and everything that could be reused.
Civilian Repair Units (CRUs) were set up, often at civil airfields, though part of the LMS Locomotive Works at Derby became a CRU dedicated to repairing Hurricane wings.
Some CRUs specialised in salvaging repairable components from crash sites. The system allowed even quite small businesses to play vital roles in returning aircraft to the front line. By the end of the war, the CRUs had repaired and returned to service 82,000 aircraft and 167,000 aero engines.
In recent years, claims have been made that aircraft production was increasing regardless of Beaverbrook’s role. However, it was Beaverbrook who galvanised it into action and created a functioning aircraft repair system.
In 1939, the UK produced 7,940 aircraft for the Services. Nearly double that number were produced during 1940 with 15,049 aircraft. In 1941, production passed 20,000 for the first time. By the end of the war, the Services were receiving 2,500 new aircraft of all types every month. | aerospace |

It carried four astronauts and cargo bound for the International Space Station (ISS), which it will reach late Monday evening. All this from a company that first came into existence in 2002.
This is the second crewed launch from SpaceX in 2020. The first occurred in May, but though that effort included two astronauts, it was still considered a test flight.
As an SF fan, it’s great to see rockets launching from American soil again. Until this year, America hadn’t propelled astronauts into space on American space vehicles since 2011. But, even more importantly, it’s nice to see this happening in the commercial realm rather than the government realm.
Once again, SpaceX also demonstrated that they can safely land and recover the first stage rocket, allowing it to be refurbished rather than discarded. Just a
I don’t think that space travel can truly proliferate until it is freed from many of the constraints of government oversight. By this, I don’t mean de-emphasizing safety — space is far too dangerous for that. What I mean is permitting commercial competition to drive innovation at a faster speed, and for a more diverse set of customers, than was previously possible when space travel was solely the purview of governments.
I look forward to a day when space travel is routine, like boarding a plane to fly to another continent.
Plus…rocket pictures are cool. | aerospace |

From The Seattle Times:
Last month, hundreds of very experienced Seattle-area Boeing engineers walked out the door. They chose to retire early with the realization they’d have a significant cut to their pension payouts if they delayed.
Though this quirk in traditional pension plans is not unique to Boeing, the outcome is a local brain drain that will accentuate a looming experience gap at the jetmaker.
Boeing has pushed out the launch of an all-new airplane toward the end of this decade. By then, there’ll be a limited number of senior engineers left who worked on development of the last all-new plane — the 787, delivered in 2011 — and have detailed knowledge of that complex process and its pitfalls.
Boeing’s white-collar union said more than 500 highly experienced U.S. engineers and more than 130 technical staff retired in November.
For most of them, it was because a pending interest rate adjustment would otherwise have dramatically slashed their lump sum pension payouts by as much as an entire year’s salary. | aerospace |

Bell along with our collaborative teammates Textron Systems, Xwing, along with also the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA), intends to demo end-to-end commercial mission operations together with Bell’s Autonomous Pod Transportation 70 (APT70), which will comprise integrated Command and Control (C2) and Detect and Prevent (DAA) technology. We will explore prerequisites as they relate for law enforcement/parapublic, medical and assignments.
“Bell is pleased to continue the cooperation of VTOL UAS technology to induce a course toward UAS certification and commercialization,” stated Bell, Scott Drennan & rsquo;s vice president of Innovation. &ldquoWe consider the capabilities of the Autonomous Pod Transport, together with the help from our staff, will enable us to tackle key challenges facing commercial UAS operations today, resulting in a successful demonstration. ”
Bell will direct the design, creation, production and processes integration of APT, Detect and Prevent technology will be provided by Xwing whereas Textron Systems will supply control and command operations, and weather avoidance technologies will be provided by CASA.
Textron Systems Vice President of Advanced Programs Wayne Prender & Applied Technology stated:
“C2 technology can extend the capabilities of unmanned technologies around platforms, domains and users. Having experience in the industry for many decades, people anticipate bringing this perspective to such a highly competent staff. ”
Xwing’s Founder and CEO Marc Piette
Of the technologies involved here represent a measure to the widespread and secure commercialization of VTOL cargo and passenger aircraft. Xwing is excited to work together with the support of NASA and the FAA, to hasten the path. ”
Apoorva Bajaj, CASA’s Innovation Manager commented:
“CASA is ready to collaborate on the integration of low-altitude weather information with Bell to UAS operations. Information on time, location and severity of rain, wind and thunderstorm activity can help maximize time UAS operations can be conducted. ”
Bell’therefore APT70 utilizes a tail-sitting electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) configuration that is capable of translation and turning in flight to maximize its own functionality. APT70 contains a baseline capability of 70 pounds and a part of the household of automobiles Bell will attain speeds of more than 100mph and is developing.

Its intended purpose was to study the geological environment of the planet as well as its surface. Several days ago, the systems on board the Messenger recorded a meteoroid striking Mercury’s surface. It’s estimated that it measured three feet in length. The Messenger expedition lasted from 2011 to 2015. The Messengers Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer helped capture the possible evidence readings and amounts of sodium and silicon ions within planets solar winds. The meteoroid would come from an asteroid belt some 200 million miles away from Mercury using the information from those particles.
Scientists could do a reverse time-lapse using the particles found in the solar winds and determined that the particles found were younger than initially thought. On the sun side of the planet, it was discovered that the particles were traveling in an extremely tight beam of light like a wave, all at the exact same time and speed. This allowed them to track the sun particles back to their source and found that a cluster of particles erupted on Mercury and scattered nearly 300 miles into the vastness of space. Powerfully charged gases also disperse from rays of light from the solar winds. Hypothetically maybe two or three impacts happened per year during Messenger’s mission lifespan. Unfortunately, none of those were captured in any of the images from the mission.
Messengers’ origins date back all the way from July 1999, when it was first selected as the seventh discovery satellite, to July 2001, when final construction began. August 2004 is when the mission launched. It completed flybys of Earth, Venus, and Mercury starting in August 2005 and ending with the Mercury flyby in September 2009. The satellite completed its mission in 2015.

The footage was purportedly recorded by a control tower camera at San Francisco International Airport on July 6 2013 and captures the Asiana Airlines plane approaching the runway before becoming enveloped in clouds of white and black smoke.
Passengers are seen escaping the crippled jet on inflatable slides while firefighters rush to the blazing aircraft, reports SFGate.
Yesterday officials confirmed the 47-minute video was authentic.
Airport spokesman Jon Ballesteros said the airport was aware of the release of the footage.
He explained the video had previously been shared only with crash investigators and as part of safety training sessions.
Ballesteros said it was a mystery how it ended up online.
Asiana Airlines Flight 214, a Boeing 777 flying from Seoul, Korea, with 307 passengers and crew aboard, crashed on July 6, 2013, when its landing gear hit a seawall near the main runway.
Three people died and 187 others were injured.
US investigators found that pilot error caused the airplane to approach the runway too low.
Authorities previously released a brief part of the clip in 2013 showing the crash and its aftermath.
The video was published on YouTube on June 28 on the “What You Haven’t Seen” channel.
The owner of the channel is unidentified.

Have you dreamed of taking flight for the pure thrill and challenge of seeing the world at your feet? Then a earning Pilot Certificate with Dawson Aviation might be just for you!
Embrace a new challenge learning about meteorology, aerodynamics, regulations and flight procedures through our interactive online course completed at your own pace.
Flight training is more than textbook knowledge and passing a test. It is risk management, resource management and aeronautical decision-making that keep pilots out of trouble.
Our custom training program focuses on these topics through an experienced-based approach to learning. Like most things in life, there is no single way to accomplish a task. Some methods just work better than others. Our students are taught to think as Pilot in Command from the very beginning and make decisions to determine the outcome of every flight.
Our professional flight instructors provide guidance and a safe environment for the student to explore. Instead of telling students what to do, we provide guidance and information for the student to evaluate and choose a course of action. Not only is this method of training proven to be more effective but most importantly, fun!
A great way to start is to schedule a Discovery Flight. This flight includes approximately 30 minutes flying the airplane under the close guidance of one of our instructors. We encourage you to fly the plane as much as you are comfortable to see if training is something you would like to pursue. In addition, we will answer any questions you have about flying, training or just aviation in general.
Few people seek out the bad weather to go out and fly but that’s exactly how we prepare you at Dawson Aviation. There is no substitute for training in actual IMC conditions so we try to expose you to as much variety as possible so that you are a safe, proficient pilot.
Instrument flying is about becoming a good systems manager. Since 90% of instrument flying is utilizing systems and resources effectively we provide a wide variety of training tools such as GPS simulators, tutorials and aids so that you can learn to use these resources in a stress-free environment. Once you feel comfortable with navigating GPS menus and using the autopilot to reduce workload, we transfer those skills to the airplane and solidify your understanding of the IFR system.
Our custom syllabus trains you for the real world. Instead of approach after approach at the same airport, each lesson includes a mission for the student to plan and execute. This ensures risk management and aeronautical decision making is evaluated every lesson in addition to the procedural requirements of instrument flying.
After becoming a Private Pilot, are you ready to join the ranks of professional aviators? In addition to FAA-required subject areas, our Commercial Pilot Course prepares you for real-world commercial flying. Upon completion, you will have the knowledge and experience to successfully transition to a commercial pilot position, not just pass the exam.
As commercial pilots ourselves we know exactly how to best prepare you for the world of commercial aviation. Whether you aspire to fly corporate jets or for the airlines, our custom syllabus focuses on applying your skills and knowledge to Part 135 and Part 121 operations. Every lesson is presented as a mission that you must plan and complete at PIC. Much like the training programs at the world's best airlines, this form of training allows you to identify resources, mitigate risks and determine the safest and most efficient outcome for every flight. | aerospace |

The ostensible reason is “for deepwater horizon/mississippi canyon (mc252) incident cleanup and reconstitution.” The restricted air space is an area bounded by:
290500n/0904000w or the leeville /lev/ vortac 258 degree radial at 30.1 NM to 300000n/0890000w or the gulfport /gpt/ vortac 169 degree radial at 24.7 NM to 300000n/0870000w or the crestview /cew/ vortac 196 degree radial at 52.2 NM to 280000n/0870000w or the panama city /pfn/ vortac 208 degree radial at 149.6 NM to 280000n/0904000w or the leeville /lev/ vortac 201 degree radial at 76.3 NM to the point of beginning at and below 3000 feet AGL excluding the airspace outside of 12 nautical miles from the us coastline. This area is also depicted on U.S. Gulf coast VFR aeronautical chart id helgc as an area bounded from south pelto 2/sp02 then to south pass 6/sp06 then to chandler 39/ch39 then to pensacola 984/pe984 then to desoto canyon 635/dc635 to south timbalair 242/st242 and then back to original point.
Here’s a map of the restricted area:
NOTAM : 0/5100 Location : GULF OF MEXICO OIL SPILL AND AFFECTED COASTLINE. THIS NO, USA
All aircraft operations in the restricted airspace are prohibited except those flights authorized by ATC, routine flights supporting offshore oil operations; federal, state, local and military flight operations supporting oil spill recovery and reconstitution efforts; and air medical and law enforcement operations.
Is the closure of the air space above the Gulf preparatory to something else that entails massive “medical and law enforcement operations”? More on this in my next post this morning….

Officials say the passenger, an off-duty Delta flight attendant, was trying to make an announcement, telling passengers to get ready to use their oxygen masks. An on-duty flight attendant tried to stop him and a fight broke out. They say the suspect was not trying to open the door, contrary to some social media posts.
The pilot called for passengers to help stop the suspect.
People on board described what happened in those frightening moments.
“Over the intercom, a voice came on and said, ‘Everyone please return to your seats, and prepare to put on an oxygen mask,'” passenger Benjamin Curlee said. “That was quite startling to a lot of the people around us.”
“And over the loudspeaker, the pilot in the cockpit goes, ‘If we have any large men, we need you in the front of the plane immediately.’ And I was in first class, I was in the second row, and it went bonkers. People were being thrown around in the front, right behind the cockpit. And the men pushed him on the floor, and they were holding his legs down. And he was fighting them back extremely hard. His feet were flying in the air. The flight attendant, it looked like he got a concussion. And they were waiting for other flight attendants to bring more restraints to restrain him with wrists tied behind his back. And they finally got him down on the floor, five huge men holding him down,” passenger Brannon Nazarian said.
“We had no idea what was going on, could’ve been anything,” Curlee said. “I hopped up, headed down the aisle, said a quick prayer for my family in case I didn’t make it, and that was pretty much it. I had no idea what to expect – it’s like bullets could come flying at me; I have no idea, side of the plane could come flying, I don’t know.”
“People thought our plane was going down. It was extremely scary. I’m still shaken,” Nazarian said.
The suspect was taken away by police. The FBI is investigating now. The flight continued safely to Atlanta.
Delta released the following statement:
“Thanks to the crew and passengers of Delta Flight 1730 (LAX to ATL) who assisted in detaining an unruly passenger as the flight diverted to Oklahoma City (OKC). The aircraft landed without incident and the passenger was removed by law enforcement. We apologize to our customers for the delay and any additional inconvenience this caused.”DELTA SPOKESPERSON | aerospace |

Put the flag on the moon
The unmanned mini spaceship with a weight of 585 kilograms and a height of one and a half meters is to set up an Israeli flag on the moon and examine the magnetic field. The project was initiated in 2011 as part of the “Google Lunar X-Prize” competition. In the meantime, however, Israel has declared it a national project.
The construction of the probe cost the equivalent of 84 million euros. The costs were mainly borne by private donors, above all by the Israeli billionaire Morris Kahn. SpaceIL also receives support from the Israel Space Agency (ISA) and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI).

Japan was the first nation to create an artificial crater on the surface of an asteroid. With this, the country wants to investigate the formation of the solar system more closely.
Japan has created the first crater in an asteroid and wants to contribute to research into the formation of our solar system. As the Japanese space agency Jaxa announced, there is now confirmation that the space probe “Hayabusa 2” has blown up a crater in the asteroid Ryugu. The probe had made the blast earlier this month to collect material from deeper layers of the asteroid.
“It is the world’s first attempt to create an artificial crater with a shock body and then to examine it closely,” said the “Hayabusa 2” project manager Yuichi Tsuda. “That’s a great success.” In 2005, the US space agency Nasa created an artificial crater on a comet, but only for observation purposes and not to collect samples.
“The best day of my life”
Masahiko Arakawa from Kobe University, who is involved in the “Hayabusa 2” project, said it was “the best day of my life” with a view to the artificial crater on Ryugu. “We can see this large hole much more clearly than expected,” explained the scientist. According to the pictures, the crater has a diameter of ten meters.
Jaxa had previously stated that the crater could reach a diameter of up to ten meters if the ground was sandy and up to three meters if the ground was stony. Arakawa said the ground was “full of rubble and yet we created such a large crater”. This could mean that there is a “mechanism on Ryugu that we do not know or something special about the Ryugu material”.
Mission for 240 million euros
The blasting of the crater was risky because “Hayabusa 2” had to approach Ryugu within 500 meters to shoot an explosive device and then move away again as quickly as possible. “Hayabusa 2” was launched in December 2014 and should return to Earth with the samples next year.

The 29 states of the NATO defense alliance are preparing for armed conflicts in space. The decision is to be officially announced this Wednesday at a meeting of foreign ministers.
NATO is preparing for wars in space. According to information from the German Press Agency, the 29 alliance states decided on Tuesday to declare space as an independent operational area. The decision is to be officially announced this Wednesday at a meeting of foreign ministers.https://123helpme.me/to-kill-a-mockingbird-essay/
Specifically, the NATO decision could mean that possible attacks from space will in future be treated as an alliance case – just like attacks on the ground or in the air, sea or cyber space. The alliance is also intended to become a key forum for the exchange of skills and information – without, however, supporting the use of space weapons or even developing them.

“NATO has no intention of stationing weapons in space, but we must ensure that our missions and operations have the appropriate support,” said Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday shortly before the decision in Brussels. For example, space is of crucial importance for early warning systems, communication and navigation. Around 2,000 satellites are currently orbiting the earth, around half of which are operated by NATO countries.

The measuring device with the shape of a microwave successfully completed the mission – and held out longer than everyone expected. Now he remains on Ryugu as a silent resident.
The Franco-German measuring device “Mascot” has completed its exploration of the distant asteroid Ryugu – and has been working longer and more productively than researchers from Germany, France and Japan had expected. According to the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Cologne, all scientific data could be transferred to the Japanese mother probe “Hayabusa2” according to plan. “This is the first time that it has been possible to explore the surface of an asteroid on this scale with a lander,” said Hansjörg Dittus, DLR Board Member for Space Research and Technology.
After a four-year journey through space, “Mascot” landed safely on the asteroid some 300 million kilometers away in the early morning of October 3rd. The researchers hope that it will provide important insights into the formation of the earth and how to ward off asteroid impacts.
The jumping cube
Thanks to a built-in swing arm, the cube the size of a microwave bounced across Ryugu’s surface. “Initially, he was in an unfavorable position after the first automatic correction jump,” says Operations Manager Christian Krause. With another hop, “Mascot” could then be maneuvered into a favorable position.
The battery in the room laboratory did not last 16 hours as expected, but more than 17 hours. During that time, the sun rose and set three times for “Mascot”, and he performed a total of three hops. In addition to images, measuring devices provided data on temperature, magnetic properties and the composition of the near-Earth asteroid. “The evaluation of the rich data has only just begun,” said project manager Tra-Mi Ho from the DLR Institute of Space Systems.

“Mascot” now remains as a silent companion on the distant asteroid. The mission of the space probe “Hayabusa2” continues, however. She is supposed to get close enough to Ryugu that she can collect material from the surface. The probe is scheduled to return to Earth at the end of 2019.

A leak in the International Space Station made headlines. The cause is still unclear. But Russia is already drawing conclusions from the incident.
Surveillance cameras are to be installed in the Russian part of the International Space Station. Russia’s space agency Roscosmos is drawing conclusions from a mysterious leak in a Soyuz space capsule docked on the ISS. There is an order to install surveillance cameras, said a Roscosmos spokesman, according to reports from Russian media.
A spaceman still has to be trained for this work and the equipment ordered for it. “It won’t work overnight.” Initially, there was no information on what exactly should be monitored with the new cameras. Even now the astronauts are filmed at work.
The hole was discovered at the end of August last year. There was a pressure case. The incident had given rise to speculation, such as sabotage. One version said an ISS crew member had deliberately drilled the hole so that the return flight would take place earlier than planned. In addition, it was initially speculated that a technician on Earth had slipped with a drill and then secretly sealed the leak. All sides had rejected this speculation.
The cause of the leak has not been clarified despite samples from the space capsule
The leak was successfully sealed, but the cause is still unclear. At the beginning of December, two cosmonauts examined the affected area during an external mission. The German astronaut Alexander Gerst and his colleagues brought samples from the space capsule back to Earth before Christmas.
Experts hope that this will clarify the cause. According to Roscosmos, the investigation is still ongoing. His authority is also waiting for the results, the spokesman said. If they are available, they will be informed.

Gerst had flown back to earth without complications in the affected Soyuz capsule. According to Roskosmos, the hole was in a module that was disconnected during landing and burned up.

Three weeks after the Soyuz capsule failed to start, Russian investigators claim to have found the cause of the accident. The error should have happened during assembly.
According to Russian investigators, a defect in a sensor pin is responsible for the false start of the manned Soyuz rocket three weeks ago. The pin was deformed during the assembly of the sensor in the Baikonur spaceport in Kazakhstan, said a representative of the investigative commission formed after the false start, Oleg Skorobatov. Two Soyuz rockets that have already been assembled are now being checked to see whether the same error has occurred with them.
The Soyuz-FG launch vehicle had dismantled into its individual parts on October 11, two minutes after taking off from the Baikonur spaceport in Kazakhstan. The Russian spaceman Sergei Ovtschinin and his US colleague Nick Hague were able to save themselves unharmed.

The Martian mole hammered itself into the ground for four hours when it was first used. The robot didn’t get too far down. Probable cause: a stone.
On Mars, a robot developed in Germany hammered itself into the ground fully automatically for the first time. The Martian mole with the official name HP3 is supposed to help uncover some of the secrets of the Red Planet. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) announced that it had penetrated about 18 to 50 centimeters into the Martian soil during its first four-hour mission with 4,000 hammer blows. The aim of the experiment is to measure the heat flow from the interior of Mars.
“On its way down, the mole apparently hit a stone, tilted about 15 degrees and pushed it aside or pushed past it,” said the scientific director of the HP3 experiment, Tilman Spohn. After a cooling-off break, the researchers want to let the “mole” hammer for another four hours in a second phase. In the coming weeks, the robot should then penetrate to a depth of three to five meters – if the ground is sufficiently porous.
The knee-high artificial mole is supposed to measure the temperature to within a thousandth of a degree Celsius. From this it can be concluded, for example, how the interior of the red planet developed and whether it still has a hot, liquid core. The robot was developed at DLR. It looks like a large nail that has a built-in hammer. He pulls a cable behind him, which is equipped with temperature sensors.
Only around 40 percent of all Mars missions are successful
HP3 (“Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package”) landed on Mars at the end of November as part of NASA’s “InSight” mission – after a journey of around 485 million kilometers. The landing site is in a region that is largely flat and free of large stones and rocks, the Elysium Planitia plain north of the Mars equator. Previous Mars missions have not yet explored the area from the ground. The “InSight” mission, which costs around 650 million euros, is scheduled to run for two years.
It was NASA’s first Mars landing since “Curiosity” 2012. An extraordinarily difficult maneuver: According to NASA, only around 40 percent of all Mars missions launched worldwide have been successful. The aim of the “InSight” project is to learn more about the structure of the planet and the dynamics beneath its surface. The measured values for temperature and conductivity of the soil should help to improve the mathematical models for the formation of the planet.

A successor to “InSight” is already in the starting blocks: In 2020 the rover “Mars 2020” is to be launched, a kind of revised version of “Curiosity”.

One of the most common systems used for localization is an Inertial Navigation System, which uses accelerometers and gyroscopes to determine position and orientation of the body in three-dimensional space. Accelerometers used in an Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) are very sensitive and susceptible to noise due to vibrations and shocks. This paper displays observations from the analysis of the various signal processing algorithms used to extract position and velocity from an accelerometer. This paper aims to enhance reliability and accuracy and overcome drawbacks of accelerometers in an inertial navigation system. © 2016 IEEE. | aerospace |

Terrafugia was only available in 2006 by professors by your MIT with all the aim of selling and building a street-legal motor vehicle with cushioned wings that will transition in a plane.
While the flying car utopia of tomorrow remains a pipe dream to many, the Transition roadable aircraft by Terrafugia has received deposits from sure buyers representing potential revenues.
The business has flown a production prototype on several test flights representing a tangible example of a flying car.
Not like the latest theories of traveling automobiles that are designed for vertical flight, the more Transition even now takes a runway for both take-off and landing.
The aircraft isn’t autonomous, and also the pilot will probably have to be able to shoot the controllers to get paid a pilot certification.
The aircraft also uses a smart mechanically folding-wing mechanism that won the organization a task for a contractor to its DARPA Transformer TX.
Even the Transformer TX can be a roadable aircraft demonstrator for its U.S. armed forces which integrates deployable outside tech.
But, nobody was given keys into a personal flying automobile along with the organization that has changed attention.
Terrafugia published plans to develop a new vertical take-off, and landing successor to the Transition dubbed the TF-X.
TF X is explained being a plug hybrid tilt-rotor vehicle and also an entirely autonomous flying car.
However, no prototype was declared for its TF X.
Twenty years following its challenging infancy, Terrafugia will be consumed from the Chinese vehicle conglomerate.
Is notorious for buying up car or truck companies worldwide, getting the automobile manufacturer Volvo, the struggling vehicle organization Proton, also intends to purchase the sports car superstar Lotus.
It is tough to understand if Geely intends to make use of the Terrafugia resources within a unique gimmick or chase the exact sci-fi fantasy which remains exceptionally elusive. | aerospace |

William James Windeler was the son of William Frank and Edna Windeler. He had two sisters. The family resided in Ottawa, Ontario and were Anglican. Windeler had been a lab assistant at E. B. Eddy Co. Ltd. prior to enlistment. He stood 6'1" and weighed 170 pounds He had grey eyes and black hair.
He was at No. 1 Manning Depot by August 1941, No. 5 ITS, Belleville, September 1941 ("Very alert and intelligent. Should do well." 88%. 34 out of 150 in the class, No. 13 EFTS, St. Eugene (69.5% flying; Ground Training: 80.9%. "Ability above average. Conduct good. Intelligent. Hard workder. Link Trainer: 82.") "Very slow progress at the start. Became average on flying ability. Keen to fly. If he works hard, he will improve very much." "This student should pay more attention to his airmanship and general flying, especially gliding speeds," "Aerobatics weak. Should improve with practice. Forced landing -- needs improvement in gliding turns; watch gliding speed. Flying is average.), Ontario January 31, 1942, the to No. 2 SFTS Uplands in February 1942 ("Good average pilot, instrument and clear hood -- needs more time on instrument take-offs, aerobatics weak -- forced landings need practice. Link Trainer progress and ability average: 74%'; Ground Training: "Above average ability, keen and efficient. Commission material. Good appearance and bearing. Pilot's preference: Recce, instructor or B."), then to CFS Trenton in June 1942.
In July 1942, at CFS Trenton, he was evaluated: "Average flying ability but needs experience to be competent. He requires flying and instructing experience very badly."
At No. 15 SFTS, Claresholm, Alberta, February 1943: "A capable instructor. Good knowledge of sequence and aircraft. Warrants a raise in category. This officer is a keen and hard working instructor and a reliable pilot."
In March 1943, he was sent to Halifax to go overseas. He arrived at 53 OTU in June 1943 and was sent to RAF Trainees Pool on May 15, 1843. In October 1943: "A confident and capable officer who has carried out his duties to our satisfaction." "Good average at night. An above average pilot. Formates well and has done well on whole course. Reliable and should become a good squadron pilot."
He came down with influenza in early December. On December 4, 1943, Windeler fell in the Officers Mess while off duty and sustained a dislocation of his right elbow. He was treated for one week in collar and cuff inside his clothes. He was advised to continue 'gentle active mobilisation in which he was carefully instructed and to carry limb, apart from exercise, in a sling." By February 7, 1944, he was assessed with a very powerful control of movements, as he had been exercising his elbow properly! He did complain about his range improving very slowly.
On February 19, 1944, Windeler was involved in an accident at 1430 hours, flying Spitfire P.8652. No blame was assigned to the pilot during this training flight at Kirton airfield. The induction trunk was found to be extensively scorched. The port cylinder block was removed and the head of number three cylinder inlet valve was found to be broken. White smoke had issued from both exhausts and the engine died completely. He made a belly landing.
On March 9, 1944, Windeler was involved in another accident at Kirton Lindsey, Lincolnshire flying Spitfire P.7388. Windeler reported, "I had finished my exercise and was about to land. I come in on a normal Spitfire approach at 100 mph. As I straightened out over the hedge, the aircraft seemed to stall prematurely at 95 mph. I rammed open the throttle, but was unable to prevent the wheels from hitting the ground. The impact knocked back my left oleo leg. By this time, I had managed to get the aircraft airborne again. I was instructed by Flying Control to keep airborne, but as I did my second circuit, the aircraft overheated owing to the leg hanging down, and I had to make a belly landing on the airfield." The court of inquiry found that Windeler did NOT make a normal Spitfire approach as he had stated in his report. He came in doing a steep gliding turn with the result that he flew straight into the ground, tearing off the port oleo leg. He was assessed as being careless combined with the lack of skill and it was recommended his log book receive an endorsement.
On June 15, 1944, flying Typhoon 1B MN292, Windeler was was authorized for an air test and local flying, southeast of Lauceston, Devonshire, England, the object of the test being to ensure that the undercarriage up lights were not flickering as reported on a previous flight. After Windeler had been airborne for eighteen minutes, the pilot informed Flying Control that his engine was failing, that he was a fair way from base and would have to set down. Althought the field was the largest in the area, Windeler landed in a field with an earthen bank and several large trees as its windward boundary. The court of inquiry felt that the pilot pushed the nose down at the last moment, as that portion of the aircraft was the first to hit the ground and it went straight onto its back. Windeler died in this fatal forced landing. He was crushed in the cockpit. The findings were such that Windeler had insufficient height to bale out and he had no alternative but to attempt a forced landing. Error of judgement on Windeler's part was also assessed. There were no witnesses to say whether the pilot stalled at the last moment or deliberately put the aircraft nose down to touch down as far as possible from obstacles at the other end of the field.
Windeler's funeral took place at noon on June 19, 1944 in the Brookwood Cemetery, Woking, Surrey, England.LINKS: | aerospace |

If it happens, we should not be surprised once they accuse us of polluting the space.
How did we manage to accumulate garbage so far away from Earth?
Space debris orbiting the Earth: a very real danger
The space age began in 1957. Since then, we have launched a multitude of rockets, spacecraft, satellites and technological equipment to discover more about space. Of all this, millions of pieces of space debris are floating around the Earth. This data leaves us with a very important reflection: since we started to explore beyond our planet, we also expanded our capacity to pollute.
Although the amount of space junk may seem very high, why should we worry about it, if we don't even see it? It turns out that it is a dangerous situation for two reasons:
- The speed: It can reach and exceed thousands of kilometers per second. For people who don't work at NASA: it means that if they collide, they could destroy active satellites.
- Interference: they influence telecommunications systems, both terrestrial and space navigation.
Look at the following image:
It is a simulation of what a small 15-gram piece of plastic could do to a solid block of aluminum in space. Turns out it wasn't such a small thing, was it?
How big does this special kind of debris get?
Less than 1 cm: more than 128 million are already in circulation, and they are so small that they are barely detectable.
Between 1 and 10 cm: there are approximately 900,000 in orbit, ranging in size from a marble to a tennis ball.
Larger than 10 cm: these are mostly lost tools or satellites that are out of service.
These "space debris" come from different countries and we know that, as of today, Russia takes first place for having discarded the most space debris, followed closely by the United States in second place and China in the third.
What are the consequences of all this floating space trash?
The greatest risk comes from the smaller fragments. These objects can damage the solar panels of active satellites. Another big problem comes from the fuel debris floating in space. This debris is flammable and, if it were to explode, it would disperse pollutants into the atmosphere. There are also some fragments that may contain radioactive material, so if they were to re-enter the Earth they would be highly polluting.
How do we solve this problem?
In relation to the debris that is already floating around in space, there are some initiatives that could solve the problem:
- Efficient design: building spacecraft and rockets that release the least amount of materials during launch.
- Laser: the fragments can be stopped by vaporizing their surface with a very high power laser.
- Reuse: reusing rocket materials that return to the surface in good condition.
- Passivation: eliminating the energy sources of unused satellites, thus avoiding possible explosions.
- Self-destruct: programming the satellite to leave orbit at the end of its useful life. The result? It is destroyed when it comes into contact with the atmosphere.
However, the perfect solution exists: no more debris in space.
If you've been worried that a piece of space debris might suddenly fall from the sky, don't worry. NASA has a special program dedicated to monitoring space junk, the U.S. Space Surveillance Network (SSN). The purpose is to monitor and identify these objects to predict when and where they might fall to Earth. So, for the time being, we can rest assured.
Moreover, steps are already being taken to solve the problem efficiently. Although the European Space Agency has a system to collect space debris thanks to a satellite that "traps" it by means of a net. But there is another very promising project: ClearSpace-1, approved in 2020. A mission in space to clean up garbage. A project that will be a milestone in space history that we will be able to see underway in 2025. | aerospace |

I'll probably never get to experience many of the most impressive aircraft but that's exactly where apps like Flighttest help to get me as close as possible.
Flighttest provides a collection of flight tests that have been carried out thus putting users into the cockpits of 10 aircraft including a particularly fascinating insight into the Space Shuttle at the end of its 30 year career.
The app features articles written by expert test pilots, pictures from numerous award winning photographers and exclusive videos and interviews all about aviation and flight. Over 250 photos are available through the app as well as nearly 40 minutes of video providing a great package of information for the aviation fan
Aircraft featured cover the likes of the Mustang jet, the Piper Super Cub, the R66 turbine helicopter, Piper PA-28 and the aerobatic plane the XtremeAir Sbach342. It's a veritable feast of aircraft with even a feature looking at solo gliding in a weekend. A cockpit guide to the Space Shuttle also features along with the ability to see inside the control center for it. Such information has been provided by former Space Shuttle pilot, Hoot Gibson. Returning to more Earthly based aircraft, there's also a feature on how to land on a glacier which is particularly fascinating considering the difficulties that come with such a surface.
The quality of the features is pretty impressive with visuals also being attractive and appealing. Videos are of a similar quality with the ability to view in either landscape or portrait mode without any detriment to the standard. It all makes for a great package for the aviation fan.
Flighttest is initially a free download with issues costing $2.99. Hopefully there will be many new issues arriving on the app store shortly. | aerospace |

The Cartosat-3 satellite is an advanced earth observation satellite, which has a high-resolution imaging capability.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is going to launch Cartosat-3 along with 13 commercial nanosatellites aboard PSLV-C47 into the Sun Synchronous orbit on November 25, 2019.
The satellite will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The tentative time of the launch is 09: 28 Hrs IST on November 25 subject to weather conditions.
Cartosat-3 is an advanced, high-resolution earth observation and imaging satellite. The 13 commercial nano satellites are from the United States.
What is Cartosat-3?
The Cartosat-3 satellite is a third-generation agile advanced satellite, which has a high-resolution imaging capability. After the launch, the satellite will be placed in an orbit, which will be 509 km from the Earth.
ISRO is launching the earth observation satellite, Cartosat-3, to boost the country’s border security by stationing “more eyes in the sky”.
PSLV-C47 will be the 21st flight of the launch vehicle in 'XL' configuration. The launch vehicle has 6 solid strap-on motors.
This will be the 74th launch vehicle mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
The launch vehicle will be carrying the Earth-imaging satellite Cartosat-3 as the primary payload and 13 commercial nanosatellites from the US.
The American satellites have been included in the mission as a part of a commercial deal with NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), Department of Space.
After Cartosat-3, ISRO will be launching two more surveillance satellites— Risat-2BR1 and Risat-2BR2 aboard PSLVC48 and C49 rocket from Sriharikota in December 2019.
The launches of operational satellites come almost six months after the previous launches, due to the launch of Chandrayaan-2 mission.
The previous two operational satellites to be launched by ISRO include surveillance satellite Risat-2B, which was launched on May 22 and electronic intelligence satellite EMISAT, which was launched on April 1. | aerospace |

He's taxied her around the crowded Chicago O'Hare taxiways. They always had problems with United 895 going to Beijing, China. I remember one time seeing him working on it from the gate. I was so interested in what he was doing. Here is a photo my father took when Chicago was bidding for the 2016 summer Olympics. You can see it says "Chicago 2016" on the beautiful tulip paint job.
If there's one lesson I can pass along to people in situations like mine, it's that the best way to see a program through -- and it took me a long time to learn this -- is simply to accept the help, cooperate, and let others do what they think is worthwhile. In the meantime, continue racing to the finish line.
The delivery date left 28 months to design the aircraft, which was two-thirds of the normal time. The schedule was so fast-paced that the people who worked on it were given the nickname "The Incredibles". Developing the aircraft was such a technical and financial challenge that management was said to have "bet the company" when it started the project.

With only about 72 hours notice, I wound up flying to New Zealand to get an exclusive look at their new 7,500 sq/m (80,700 sq/ft) factory that is streamlined for an impressive production rate.
Walking inside their door feels like the entrance to either a modern art museum or, of course, a spaceship.
The factory is stunning. Clean, modern and bustling with over 250 employees on site. The company seems to be hiring at an equally impressive rate, constantly expanding their team. It’s clearly an exciting time for the up-and-coming company.
Although Rocket Lab’s engines and avionics are built in Huntington Beach, California, the final assembly of the vehicle is done here in Auckland–A fitting choice, as they’re currently only launching from their Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, some 500 km away (310 miles).
But that’s about to change. Next week (October 17th, 2018), Rocket Lab will be announcing their second launch site that will open in the United States.
After a 90 minute sit down with Rocket Lab CEO and founder, Peter Beck, I learned that his company’s two keys to success are unseen launch rates and reliability. This new factory will allow them to produce more than 50 rockets a year! Now that’s impressive.
We’re still a month or so away from Rocket Lab’s first commercial launch, “It’s Business Time,” but Rocket Lab already has a packed manifest.
They even managed to open a new Mission Control center. This is a major update from their old center, offering a really fun launch experience for customers or employees!
I think the real game changer here is the idea that if you were a small sat company looking for a ride to space, you could potentially fly within two months. Most of that wait time is due to waiting on certifications to fly from the FAA and the FCC (not Rocket Lab).
Then there’s the fact that you’re not ride sharing, and you’ll get placed precisely in your desired orbit. No more “close enough” orbits that are common with ride sharing, and no more huge amount of propellant required to get to your actual destination.
AND THEN there’s the fact that the vehicle is the smoothest ride to space! Payloads only experience 3 Gs throughout ascent, which is very, very low. As a matter of fact, the payload will experience more G force during the shipping process to Rocket Lab than it will the rest of its journey to space!
This factory blew my mind. When Rocket Lab asked me if I wanted to attend the opening of their new factory, I was a little snarky in my reply (“Honestly, I’m not sure how compelling of a story about where future rockets will be made would be…”). Boy was I wrong.
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Peter Beck for a 90 minute interview and I got to ask him EVERYTHING. It was such a fun conversation. Stay tuned, that and many other videos will be posted on my YouTube channel in the near future.

Airline spokeswoman Macky Osorio says Flight 1559 was bound for Houston but landed safely at Dulles on Monday morning. No one was injured. The aircraft carrying 44 passengers was a Boeing 737-800.
Airports spokeswoman Tara Hamilton says the jet left Reagan National Airport about 8 a.m. Monday. It was quickly diverted to Dulles.
D.C. fire department spokesman Pete Piringer says his agency received calls about a plane with engine problems flying outside the normal flight patterns from Reagan Airport, which is just outside the nation's capital.

The Indian Air Force has created a new record for flying non-stop in a Chinook helicopter, covering a total distance of 1,910 kilometres in less than 7 hours and 30
The Indian Air Force has created a new record for flying non-stop in a Chinook helicopter, covering a total distance of 1,910 kilometres in less than 7 hours and 30 minutes. The record flight in a Chinook was taken on Monday between Chandigarh and Jorhat in Assam.
Taking to Twitter, the Indian Air Force stated that a Chinook undertook the longest non-stop helicopter sortie in India, flying from Chandigarh to Jorhat in Assam.
The 1910 km route was completed in 7 hrs 30 min and was made possible by the capabilities of the Chinook along with operational planning and execution by the Indian Air Force.
It needs to be mentioned here that a Chinook is a multi-role, vertical lift platform, used for transporting men and material. It also plays an important role in humanitarian and disaster relief operations.

Just last night at around 9:15pm our time, a meteor was caught on tape bursting over the Detroit skyline, and then BOOM just like that, the light was gone.
At times, when a meteor explodes over the ground of Earth it becomes a "bolide", which is just another name for the meteor reaching lower altitudes in our atmosphere but still exploding.
According to the USGS (United States Geological Survey) the exploding meteor registered a 2.0 on the Richter Scale for Earthquakes!

Kennedy Airport on a scheduled route to Puerto Rico to divert to Havana, Cuba. Passengers were evacuated from Cuba by a U.S. State Department aircraft. There were no fatalities.
March 17, 1970: Eastern Air Lines Shuttle Flight 1320, carrying passengers from Newark to Boston was hijacked around 7:30 P.M. by John J. Divivo who was armed with a .38 caliber revolver. Captain Robert Wilbur Jr., 35, a former Air Force pilot who had only been promoted to captain six months prior, was shot in his arm by the suicidal hijacker. With a .38 slug in his arm and bleeding profusely, he flew his aircraft safely to a landing while talking to the tower, telling them his copilot was shot (but not himself) and needed an ambulance. His copilot, First Officer James Hartley, 31, was shot without warning by Divivo and collapsed. Divivo then turned the gun on the captain, causing his arm injury. Despite being fatally wounded Hartley recovered sufficiently to rip the gun from Divivo's hand, and shoot the would-be hijacker three times before lapsing into unconsciousness, and eventually death. Although wounded and slumped between the seats, Divivo arose and began clawing at Captain Wilbur, attempting to force a crash. Wilbur hit Divivo over the head with the gun he had retrieved from the center console. The pilot was able to land the plane safely at Logan International Airport, and the hijacker was arrested immediately.
March 31, 1970: Japan Airlines Flight 351, carrying 131 passengers and 7 crew from Tokyo to Fukuoka, is hijacked by nine members of the Japanese Red Army group. 23 passengers were freed at Fukuoka Airport, mainly children or old aged. 108 passengers and all crew members with Red Army group left Fukuoka, bound for Gimpo Airport, near Seoul. Three days after, Red Army group ask to be flown to North Korean capital Pyongyang, before leaving from Seoul, 103 passenger and crew hostages are freed, and nine Red Army group members surrendered to North Korean authorities.
September 1970: As part of the Dawson's Field hijackings, PFLP members attempted to hijack four aircraft simultaneously. They succeeded on three and forced the planes to fly to the Jordanian desert, where the hijackers blew up the aircraft after releasing most of the hostages. The final hostages were freed in exchange for seven Palestinian prisoners. The fourth attack on an El Al plane by two people including Leila Khalid was foiled by armed guards aboard.
January 30, 1971: Indian AirlinesFokker F27 on scheduled Srinagar-Jammu flight is hijacked to Lahore by two self-proclaimed Kashmir Separatists. All passengers were released by February 2 and repatriated to India, but the aircraft was blown-up—leading to an India-Pakistan air-travel ban, and suspension of overflight rights until 1976.
March, 1971: Philippine Airlines flight was hijacked in March 1971 by six students from the Mindanao State University, opposed to the Marcos government. The plane landed in Guangzhou (Canton) in southern China, and the Chinese authorities let the students stay in the country. The plane was then allowed to fly back to the Philippines. No one was hurt. One of the students, Jaime FlorCruz, later became a journalist in Beijing, working for TIME magazine, and CNN.
May 1971: an IL-14 with 4 staff members and 16 passengers was hijacked by 6 men at the Oradea Airport (Romania), then forced to flew to Budapest (Hungary), then Vienna (Austria). The passengers and the crew were released in Vienna, while the hijackers flew to West Germany.
November 24, 1971: A man who became known as D. B. Cooper hijacked Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305, a Boeing 727-100 aircraft flying from Portland, OR, to Seattle, WA, received US$200,000 in ransom, and parachuted from the plane. The actual name of the hijacker remains unknown. The hijacker revealed what appeared to be a bomb to a flight attendant and demanded the ransom and parachutes. The flight landed in Seattle, and FBI agents provided the ransom money and parachutes. Cooper then released all passengers and one flight attendant. After refueling, the aircraft took off again and flew toward Reno, NV. Cooper opened the aft stairs and jumped from the plane with a parachute during a heavy rainstorm. The aircraft was forced to land with the aft stairs deployed. The FBI believes Cooper most likely did not survive, but the case remains unsolved.
January 12, 1972: Braniff Flight 38, a Boeing 727, was hijacked as it departed Houston, Texas bound for Dallas, Texas. The lone armed hijacker, Billy Gene Hurst, Jr., allowed all 94 passengers to deplane after landing at Dallas Love Field but continued to hold the 7 crewmembers hostage, demanding to fly to South America and asking for US $2 million, parachutes, and jungle survival gear, amongst other items. After a 6-hour standoff, the entire crew secretly fled while Hurst was distracted examining the contents of a package delivered by Dallas police. Police officers stormed the craft shortly afterwards and arrested Hurst without serious incident.
January 28, 1972: TWA Flight 2, Los Angeles to New York, was hijacked by con man and bank robber Garrett Trapnell while over Chicago. Trapnell demanded $306,800 in cash (to recoup the loss of a recent court case), the release of Angela Davis (as well as that of a friend of his who was also imprisoned), and clemency from President Richard Nixon. The FBI was able to retake the aircraft during a crew switch at Kennedy Airport; Trapnell was shot and wounded, no one else was hurt. Trapnell's hijacking came after a string of domestic incidents and resulted in an overhaul of flight procedures by the Nixon Administration, procedures that remained in place until the September 11, 2001 hijackings.
November 10, 1972: Southern Airways Flight 49, was hijacked by three men and flown to multiple locations in the United States, and one Canadian city. At one point, the hijackers threatened to fly the plane into the nuclear reactor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, if their demands for $10 million in cash were not met. While stopped for refueling at McCoy Air Force Base, Orlando, the FBI shot out the plane's tires, prompting the hijackers to force pilot William Haas to take off. The hijacking came to an end when the plane landed on a partially foam-covered runway in Havana, Cuba, and the hijackers were captured after attempting to escape.
April 24, 1973: SAS DC 9 - Gunder Viking - with registration number LN-RLO on route from Torslanda, Gothenburg, Sweden, to Stockholm, Sweden, was hijacked five minutes after take off by 3 armed Croatian terrorists connected to Ustasja. The plane was ordered to land at Bulltofta airport, Malmö, Sweden. 86 passengers and 4 crew members were held hostage until the next morning when the hostage were released in exchange for 500 000 Swedish Kronor and seven Croatian terrorists imprisoned in Sweden. The last passenger could leave the plane unharmed after 16 hours. The plane and crew was then ordered to fly to Madrid, Spain, where the hijackers later were to be put on trial.
April 24, 1973: The hijacking attempt of AeroflotTu-104 flying from Leningrad to Moscow. When flight attendant tried to disarm the hijacker, the bomb detonated killing both and causing the decompression. The crew made an emergency landing in Leningrad, the plane was written off.
May 18, 1973: Another hijacking attempt of AeroflotTu-104 flying from Irkutsk to Chita. The terrorist demanded the plane be diverted to China. The bomb detonated and the plane crashed near Lake Baikal killing all 82 people onboard.
1976: TWA Flight 355 was hijacked by Croatian separatists. Some passengers were allowed to deplane in Canada before the hijackers continued on to Iceland, then France, where they released the remaining passengers and surrendered to authorities. One New York police officer was killed while working on a bomb which the hijackers had planted at Grand Central Station.
August 30, 1978: LOT Polish Airlines Flight 165 was hijacked by two East Germans in order to escape to West Berlin. There were no casualties, the hijackers surrendered and were tried by never-before-convened United States Court for Berlin.
September 30, 1978: Finnair Flight 405 was hijacked by Aarno Lamminparras; the flight was en route from Oulu to Helsinki. He requested a ransom of 675,000 markka, which he received, and as a result he released all 44 passengers on board. Then he ordered the plane to fly him to Amsterdam in the Netherlands and then back to Oulu. He returned home and was arrested there the next day. He served seven years and one month in prison and now lives in Sweden. One of the passengers on board the hijacked plane was singer Monica Aspelund.
1981: A Pakistan International Airlines jet is hijacked and taken to Kabul, where one passenger is killed before the plane flies on to Damascus; the hostages are finally released after 13 days when the Pakistani Government agrees to free fifty political prisoners.
1981: The Hijacking of Flight Garuda Indonesia GA 206 on March 28, 1981. This was the first serious Indonesian airline hijacking, since the first case was a desperate Marine hijacker who was killed by the pilot himself. The hijackers, a group called Commando Jihad, hijacked the DC 9 "Woyla", onroute from Palembang to Medan, and ordered the pilot to fly the plane to Colombo, Sri Lanka. But since the plane didn't have enough fuel, it refueled in Penang, Malaysia and then to Don Muang, Thailand. The hijackers demanded the release of Commando Jihad members imprisoned in Indonesia, and US $ 1.5 million, as well as a plane to take those prisoners to an unspecified destination. The Kopassus commandos who took part in this mission trained for only three days with totally unfamiliar weapons, brilliantly executed this fast-paced operation. One of the Kopassus commandos was shot by the hijacker leader, who then shot himself. All the other hijackers were killed. All the hostages were saved.
1981: An Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to London was hijacked and diverted to Le Touquet in France by a man demanding that the Pope release the third secret of Fatima. While authorities negotiated with the hijacker by radio in the cockpit, French special forces entered the rear of the aircraft and overpowered him.
February 1982: An Kuwait Airways flight, KU561 from Kuwait to Libya via Beirut on the return was hijacked on the ground at Beirut airport in Beirut in Lebanon by Hamza akl Hamieh demanding news and release of Imam Musa al Sadr, who had disappeared in Libya in 1978. The Captain Les Bradley flew the damaged plane back to Kuwait after Hamza and his colleagues left the plane, disappearing into the night, leaving a warning for Kuwait Airways to drop the Kuwait Libya Beirut Kuwait route. There were no casualties.
August 22, 1982: A lone Sikh militant, armed with a pistol and a hand grenade, hijacked a Indian Airlines on a scheduled flight from Mumbai to New Delhi carrying 69 persons. Indian security forces killed the hijacker and rescued all passengers. Peter Lamont, production designer working on the James Bond film Octopussy, was a passenger.
August 24, 1984: Seven young Sikh hijackers demanded an Indian Airlines jetliner flying from Delhi to Srinagar be flown to the United Arab Emirates. The plane was taken to UAE where the defense minister of UAE negotiated the release of the passengers. It was related to the Sikh secessionist struggle in the Indian state of Punjab.
March 8, 1988: Ovechkin family (a mother and her 10 children) attempted to hijack a Tu 154 flight from Irkutsk to Leningrad while trying to escape from the USSR. The plane landed on a military airfield near Vyborg and was then stormed. A stewardess and three passengers were killed. The mother was killed by one of her sons by her own request, then four of them committed suicide.
February 11, 1993: Lufthansa Flight 592 scheduled service from Frankfurt to Cairo and Addis Ababa, was hijacked at gunpoint by Nebiu Demeke, an Ethiopian man. The A310 initially flew to Hannover for fuel before flying to New York's JFK where the hijacker surrendered after brief negotiations. No passengers or crew were injured or killed.
1993:Two separate hijackings of Indian Airlines aircraft to Amritsar, Punjab, India in the month of April. In the first case the hijacker was talked into surrendering; in the second, the Commandos stormed in and killed the sole hijacker. The Amritsar Deputy Commissioner Karan Bir Singh Sidhu was conferred the Convoy Safe Skies Award.
1993: Russian Aeroflot passenger jet flying from Perm to Moscow diverted to Gardermoen airport by two Iranian brothers. Hijackers surrendered and hostages went free. The hijackers were later given asylum in Norway for humanitarian reasons.
1996: Hemus Air Tu-154 aircraft was hijacked by the Palestinian Nadir Abdallah, flying from Beirut to Varna. The hijacker demanded that the aircraft be refuelled and given passage to Oslo, Norway after landing at Varna Airport. All of the 150 passengers were freed at Varna, afterwards the crew continued the flight to Oslo.
1996: Ethiopian AirlinesFlight 961 crashed into the Indian Ocean near a beach in the Comoros Islands after hijackers refused to allow the pilot to land and refuel the plane. 125 passengers died and the remaining 50 passengers survived with minor injuries. This is only the third incident in which there were survivors of a passenger jet that had been intentionally ditched into a body of water.
1997: Two men who hijacked anAir Malta aircraft en route from Malta to Turkey on June 9, 1997 surrendered to police at Cologne airport early on the same day and freed without incident about 80 crew members and passengers on board.
1999-2000: Pakistan-based terrorists hijack Indian Airlines Flight 814 and divert it to Kandahar. After a week-long stand-off India agrees to release three jailed Pakistani terrorists in exchange for the hostages. 1 hostage was stabbed to death and his body thrown on the tarmac as a "warning attack".
2000, 11 November: an Vnukovo Airlines Tu-154 flying from Makhachkala to Moscow was hijacked by a man demanding it be diverted to Israel. The plane landed at an Israeli military base where hijacker surrendered. None of 59 people onboard were injured.
2001, 15 March: another Vnukovo Airlines Tu-154 flying from Istanbul to Moscow was hijacked by a three Chechen terrorists demanding it be diverted to Saudi Arabia. After the plane with 174 people onboard landed at Medina the terrorist threatened to blow it up unless it would be refuelled for flying to Afghanistan. The Saudi authorities decided to storm the plane. During the assault 3 people were killed by Saudi police: one of the passengers (Turkish citizen), the stewardess Yulia Fomina (later the plane was named after her) and the leader of the terrorists.
2001: September 11 attacks, eastern USA: 19 terrorists hijacked American Airlinesflights 11 and 77, and United Airlinesflights 93 and 175. The four heavily-fuelled aircrafts were used as missiles to attack targets of economic, military, and political significance in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history. Two of the planes, UA175 and AA11 were crashed into New York City's twin towers of the World Trade Center, destroying the entire complex and killing 2,998 people. In Washington, D.C., AA77 was crashed into the Pentagon, causing massive destruction to the side of the building facing Arlington National Cemetery and resulting in over 100 deaths. Another attack on the US Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. was averted when passengers intervened and UA93 crashed into a field, but all those on the aircraft perished.
This marked a landmark in hijacking: the first successful hijacking where the intention was to destroy the aircraft and passengers, and use the fueled aircraft as a missile to destroy ground targets. It also marked a landmark in responses to the threat of hijacking: until then the recommended response was for the crew to obey the hijackers' demands so as to safeguard the passengers and buy time; after this the policy was more about preventing access to the cockpit and pilots, and aggressive responses. From this time air passengers worldwide were prohibited from having anything remotely like a bladed weapon in the passenger cabin: scissors, tweezers, nailfiles, etc.
2006: Turkish Airlines Flight 1476, flying from Tirana to Istanbul, was hijacked in Greek airspace. The aircraft, with 107 passengers and six crew on board, transmitted two coded hijack signals which were picked up by the Greek air force; the flight was intercepted by military aircraft and landed safely at Brindisi, Italy.
2008: a Sun AirBoeing 737 flying from Nyala, Darfur, in Western Sudan to the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, was hijacked shortly after takeoff. The hijackers demanded to be taken to France where they reputedly wanted to gain asylum. The plane initially tried to land at Cairo but was refused permission. It subsequently touched down at Kufra, Libya. The hijackers gave themselves up almost 24 hours after taking the plane. There were no reported casualties.
2009: CanJet Flight 918, a Boeing 737-800 preparing to depart from the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica to Cuba was hijacked by a gunman who forced his way through airport security onto the plane. His main motive was a demand to the crew to fly him to Cuba. Most of the passengers on the plane gave him money to buy their freedom. For the rest of the night, negotiations took place as 6 crew members were held hostage in the flight for several hours. Quick responses from the police force allowed them to disarm the hijacker and arrest him. There were no casualties.
2009: AeroMéxicoFlight 576, a Boeing 737-800 flying from Cancún to Mexico City was hijacked by José Marc Flores Pereira, a Bolivian citizen claiming he had a bomb and demanding to speak to Mexican president Felipe Calderón. The plane landed at Mexico City International Airport where it then taxied to a remote stand where the passengers and crew were later released. Mexican officials stormed the plane where 5 men were taken into custody with only 1 being held. There were no casualties. | aerospace |

Adaptive wing morphology in birds, including the Harris’ hawk, Common swift, Steppe eagle and Barn swallow, provides excellent examples of aerodynamic and flight control effectiveness that inform the Aeronautical Engineer. The Harris’ hawk and Common swift are gliding birds that change their wing and tail span according to gliding velocity. Inspired by the natural world, effective wing geometry is also modified in aircraft to adjust the aerodynamic load. Bird wings employ an automatic aeroelastic deflection of covert feathers that extend the range of flight configurations and maintain control authority in different flight regimes. Similarly, aircraft structures are not completely rigid and aeroelasticity is important in aircraft. In a Steppe eagle, the alula functions as a high-lift device analogous to the leading edge slats in aircraft wings that allow flight at high angles of attack and low airspeeds without stalling. It has also been suggested that the alula functions as a strake that triggers the development of a leading-edge vortex typical of aircraft delta wings. Sweep-back morphs the hand wing of birds into delta wings that produce lift-generating leading-edge-vortices. A biological high-lift flow-separation control mechanism exists in bird wings, whereby feathers pop up on the wing upper surface to stop the upstream proliferation of separated flow. The equivalent mechanism in aircraft is the self-activated moveable flap that augments maximum lift. Birds exploit stability in flight by morphing the wings and tail. The aeroelastic properties of tail streamers in a Barn swallow trigger an automatic deflection of the tail’s leading edge. This deflection delays flow separation to higher angles of attack, generates higher aerodynamic lift and elicits greater manoeuvrability of the bird. The Aeronautical Engineer may optimise the handling, flying qualities and control of aircraft by mimicking the inherent adaptive morphology, aeroelasticity and flight stability principles observed in nature.

DO-160G, officially titled Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment, is a living document of environmental testing standards for airborne equipment. DO-160G is maintained and published by the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics or RTCA.
Although it isn’t a government standard or regulation, DO-160G has been adopted by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) since its initial publication in 1975.
According to an advisory circular (AC) published by the FAA in June 2011, RTCA / DO-160G has been used as an environmental testing standard for airborne equipment since as early as 1958, when it was known as DO-130.
The latest revision of DO-160 – DO-160G – was published in December 2010 and includes updates for test conditions, power input, radio frequency susceptibility, among other changes.
DO-160 environmental testing isn’t a hard-and-fast requirement for equipment used in or on aircraft. It’s merely a standard; however, it has been adopted not only by government entities but by numerous equipment suppliers, airlines and compliance testing facilities to establish an industrywide consensus on the quality and reliability of airborne equipment.
There are 23 test procedures in DO-160 such as temperature and altitude testing. This purpose of this test is to assess the performance characteristics of equipment when exposed to extremely high or low temperatures and varying altitudes.
This procedure includes 20 categories addressing the full range of environments known to exist in most aircraft types and installation locations.
Testing is performed by placing equipment into an environmental testing chamber, monitoring the effects on the equipment and recording results to determine pass or fail.
Want to learn more? Tonex offers DO-160G Training | Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment, a 2-day course that covers RTCA’s DO-160G standard for Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment.
DO-160G training course provides the knowledge applied to DO-160G and how its role in systems engineering processes including requirements, design, product certification and Technical Standard Orders.

Launch vehicles are developed at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre in Thiruvananthapuram. Launches take place at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on Sriharikota Island, near Chennai. The Master Control Facilities for geostationary satellite station keeping are located at Hassan and Bhopal. Reception and processing facilities for remote-sensing data are at the National Remote Sensing Centre in Hyderabad. ISRO’s commercial arm is Antrix Corporation, which has its headquarters in Bangalore.
In 1979, ISRO conducted the first tests of its own homegrown orbital rocket, the Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3). The four-stage vehicle was capable of placing payloads up to 88 lbs. (40 kilograms) into orbit. SLV-3 successfully launched for the first time on July 18, 1980, making India the sixth nation to achieve spaceflight. It carried the Rohini-1 satellite, an experimental satellite developed to test components that could be used in space.
ISRO has launched several space systems, including the Indian National Satellite (INSAT) system for telecommunication, television broadcasting, meteorology, and disaster warning and the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites for resource monitoring and management. The first INSAT was launched in 1988, and the program expanded to include geosynchronous satellites called GSAT. The first IRS satellite was also launched in 1988, and the program developed more-specialized satellites, including the Radar Imaging Satellite-1 (RISAT-1, launched in 2012) and the Satellite with Argos and Altika (SARAL, launched in 2013), a joint Indian-French mission that measures ocean wave heights. ISRO subsequently developed three other rockets: the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for putting satellites into polar orbit, the Geostationary Space Launch Vehicle (GSLV) for placing satellites into geostationary orbit, and a heavy-lift version of the GSLV called the GSLV Mark III or LVM. Those rockets launched communications satellites and Earth-observation satellites as well as missions to the Moon (Chandrayaan-1, 2008; Chandrayaan-2, 2019) and Mars (Mars Orbiter Mission, 2013). ISRO plans to put astronauts into orbit in 2021.
Raja Ramanna Center for Atomic Technology (RRCAT)
Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology is a unit of Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India, engaged in R & D in non-nuclear front line research areas of Lasers, Particle Accelerators & related technologies.
RRCAT was established by the Department of Atomic Energy, India to expand the activities carried out at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai, in two frontline areas of science and technology namely Lasers and Accelerators.
On February 19, 1984 the President of India, Gyani Zail Singh, laid the foundation stone of the centre. Construction of laboratories and houses began in May 1984. In June 1986, the first batch of scientists from BARC, Mumbai, moved to RRCAT and scientific activities were started. Since then, the centre has rapidly grown into a premier institute for research and development in lasers, accelerators and their applications.
The RRCAT campus is spread over a 760 hectare picturesque site on the outskirts of Indore city. The campus encompasses laboratories, staff housing colony and other basic amenities like school, sports facilities, shopping complex, gardens etc.
The Centre has indigenously designed, developed, and commissioned two synchrotron radiation sources: Indus-1 and Indus-2, serving as a national facility.

Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO)
The DRDO was formed in 1958 following the merge of the Technical Development Establishment (TDE) of the Indian Army, the Directorate of Technical Development & Production (DTDP) and the Defence Science Organisation (DSO). DRDO laboratories conduct research in a number of fields, such as aeronautics, rockets and missiles, electronics and instrumentation, combat vehicles, engineering, naval systems, armament technology including explosives research, terrain research, advanced computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, works study, systems analysis, and life sciences, including high-altitude agriculture, physiology, food technology, and nuclear medicine.
In addition, DRDO laboratories give technical advice regarding formulation of requirements, evaluation of systems to be acquired, fire and explosive safety, and mathematical and statistical analysis of operational problems. The DRDO has been working on the Integrated Guided Missile Development program. The program consists of five missile systems: Prithvi, Akash, Trishul, Nag, and Agni. The Prithvi SS-150 and Agni missile systems are believed to have the capability to carry chemical warheads.
DRDO laboratories are suspected of developing and maintaining India’s chemical weapons. Stockpiles of these weapons are believed to be stored at DRDO facilities in Gwalior and Nashik. The DRDO serves as a training center for doctors, forensic scientists, and police personnel who will be the first responders in a chemical or biological attack.
The DRDO has developed suits that include a facelet, a haversack, gloves, overboots, respirators, leak tester, integrated hood mask, and canister neelkantha ‘A’ to protect personnel from a nuclear, biological, or chemical attack.

Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC), Mumbai
Nuclear research in India began in 1945 with the founding of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) under the leadership of Homi Jehangir Bhabha. With the creation in 1954 of the Atomic Energy Establishment at Trombay and the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Bhabha and all scientists working on programs of direct relevance to applications of nuclear power were transferred from TIFR to Trombay. After the death of Homi Bhabha in an air crash in 1966, the Atomic Energy Establishment, Trombay was renamed the Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC). Today, BARC is India’s primary research and development institution focused on indigenous nuclear power and other applications of nuclear technology. The staff of BARC conducts research in almost every aspect of nuclear technology. Although many of these research projects have civilian applications, BARC also plays a leading role in India’s nuclear weapon program. As stated in the DAE’s 2000-2001 Annual Report, “BARC has contributed immensely towards national security by demonstrating a nuclear deterrent capability.”
BARC has been tasked with developing the technological independence needed to fulfill India’s strategy for nuclear energy. This strategy envisions a closed fuel cycle involving the reprocessing of spent fuel from India’s Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) to provide plutonium for India’s Fast Breeder Reactor (FBRs). BARC is also attempting to develop Advanced Heavy Water Reactors (AHWRs) utilizing thorium based fuel with a small feed of plutonium. The final stage of India’s nuclear strategy, calls for the development of “dedicated breeder reactors based on uranium-233 and thorium” in order to take advantage of India’s vast thorium deposits. Much of the technology involved in the proposed fuel cycle raises proliferation concerns as its continual source of unsafeguarded fissile material for nuclear weapons.
BARC maintains eight research reactors (Apsara, Cirus, Dhruva, Zerlina, Purnima-I, Purnima-II, Purnima-III, and Kamini) and is engaged in reactor design and development (including thorium and MOX-fueled Advanced Heavy Water Reactors and Fast Breeder Reactors), radioisotope production; plants for the manufacture of uranium metal and nuclear fuels; fuel reprocessing; waste immobilization; seismic stations; basic research in materials, physical, chemical and biological sciences; radiochemistry and isotope laboratories; pilot plants for the production of heavy water, zirconium and titanium production; and a thorium plant. BARC has also been active in the following weapons related projects:
- A detritium process that extracts tritium from the heavy water used as a moderator in India’s PHWRs. The extracted tritium can then be used to build a thermonuclear weapon.
- The Cirus reactor provided the plutonium for the 1974 nuclear test. The Dhruva Reactor is the primary generator of weapons-grade plutonium-bearing spent fuel. It is estimated that the reactor produces an average of 16-24kg of weapons-grade plutonium per year in its spent fuel. A
- pilot plant at Trombay was established for the enrichment of Boron-10 to 80 percent purity. The many nuclear applications of Boron-10 include controlling criticality in nuclear weapons storage sites, reactors, plutonium reprocessing plants and nuclear storage facilities.
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai
Pre-independence India’s scientific achievements were far ahead of its industrial successes. This was unusual for any country at that time, but there remained the need to improve India’s scientific temper and strengthen the newly free nation’s science infrastructure. These were the objectives that drove Homi J Bhabha and JRD Tata to pursue their vision of establishing the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR) back in 1945.
TIFR became the cradle of the country’s atomic energy endeavour. The Institute wasn’t just about science; it was also about discovering and delivering the benefits drawn from science to Indian society. Given that there was little scientific and industrial infrastructure at the time, TIFR came to play a crucial role.
The building of TIFR was quite interesting. Everything was done in-house, including the carpentry and such. We were at the frontiers of science, which meant that we had to create our own infrastructure. The fundamental research we were involved in then was of the atypical kind.
TIFR have done a large amount of experimental research that has blossomed into trend-setting initiatives. For instance, India’s first digital computer was crafted at TIFR, back in 1957. This was a significant success by any yardstick.
In the years immediately following independence, India’s goal was self-reliance. But, in terms of self-reliance there is a difference between science and technology. If you don’t have a particular technology, you can try and develop it to, say, build a car indigenously. TIFR now functions differently, and so it must. If it does not it will be frozen in an earlier time, which means it would fail in its mission. Some of Institute’s activities have changed down the years and this process will continue.
National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL)
The National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL) is an autonomous Research Institute funded by the Department of Space of the Government of India. NARL is engaged in fundamental and applied research in the field of Atmospheric Sciences.

As experience with the NNSS has grown and as techniques for processing the signals have improved offshore users have become more confident in the satellite system's ability to provide relatively high positioning accuracy, at least on a periodic basis. At this point, however, it is logical to ask what lies ahead since, for example, many users may be conducting long-range planning efforts involving deep water, far-from-shore projects.
The purpose of this report is to briefly examine the overall concepts of positioning via satellite and to summarize progress to date, including a look at some recent advances in the state-of-the-art in NNSS navigation. Then a brief look into the future at the forthcoming Global Positioning System (GPS) which is currently under active development by a joint U.S. military services group, and which is scheduled for full development by the late 1980's.
Positioning via satellite is an extension of techniques used in almost all commonly-used terrestrial radiolocation systems. The principle difference is of course' that the "transmitter" is continuously moving along an orbital path which is largely predictable by means of certain mathematical equations. As long as the user can obtain the satellite position at every instant of measurement, then he can apply more or less standard arithmetic techniques to convert the measurements into useful positioning information.
This is illustrated in Fig. 2-1 which shows a single satellite ('S') in polar orbit and a user 'u' that makes a measurement 'z' to the satellite. For electromagnetic systems, the measurement 'z' can be proportional to either doppler shift (as is the case with the NNSS) or range itself (as is the case with the upcoming GPS). This proportion ability derives from the fact that electromagnetic waves propagate with a relatively fixed velocity through the atmosphere, so that motion of the satellite (plus user) results in a changing propagation time (or a changing phase shift for satellite-transmitted signals of constant frequency).
The important requirement is that the measurement can be accurately modeled (or "predicted") mathematically by means of a relationship involving both the satellite and user positions. Then, given a series of measurements (either simultaneous or in time sequence and knowledge of the satellite position (usually transmitted from the satellite) it is a relatively straightforward matter to infer the user position using one of a variety of techniques, some of which are discussed later in this report. | aerospace |

A Zvezda 1:48 scale aircraft model kit of the Russian Fifth-Generation Fighter SU-57.
The Sukhoi Su-57 is a fifth-generation Russian multifunctional fighter jet, designed within the PAK FA program to replace the Sukhoi Su-27 heavy fighter jet.
Su-57 can carry air battles at long and short distances, and strike at ground and sea targets. To destroy the enemy, the aircraft is armed with a 30-mm aircraft cannon and is capable of carrying modern types of air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles. The onboard equipment of the new fighter jet provides for real-time data exchange with both ground control systems and within the air force group, and to perform tasks in autonomous mode.
During the development of the Su-57, measures were taken to reduce the radar signature - stealth technology. In February 2018, the Su-57 was tested in Syria, being engaged in real military operations. So far, the Su-57 has been in mass-production and is considered to be one of the best fighter jets of its class.

After the plane took off, the retired Fighter Pilot asked for a whiskey and soda, which was brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the preacher if he would like a drink. Appalled, the preacher replied, "I'd rather be tied up and taken advantage of by women of ill-repute, than let liquor touch my lips."
The Fighter Pilot then immediately handed his drink back to the flight attendant and said, "Me too, I didn't know we had a damn choice!"

The International Space Station periodically schedules radio events where they transmit Slow Scan Television (SSTV) images down to earth for listeners to receive and collect. This time they have scheduled SSTV images for Dec 8 1235 – 1800 UTC, and December 9 1240-1740 UTC. The ARRL announcement reads:
Slow-scan television (SSTV) transmissions from the International Space Station (ISS) are scheduled for December 8-9. The SSTV images will be transmitted from RS0ISS on 145.800 MHz FM as part of the Moscow Aviation Institute MAI-75 Experiment, using the Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver in the ISS Service Module.
MAI-75 activities have been scheduled on December 8, 1235-1800 UTC, and December 9, 1240-1740 UTC. These times correspond to passes over Moscow, Russia. ISS transmissions on 145.800 MHz FM use 5-kHz deviation, and SSTV transmissions have used the PD120 and PD180 formats.
The ISS Fan Club website can show when the space station is within range of your station. On Windows PCs the free application MMSSTV can decode the signal. On Apple iOS devices, use the SSTV app.
These SSTV broadcasts can usually be easily heard with an RTL-SDR and appropriate satellite antenna such as a QFH, Turnstile or a hand held Yagi. Many listeners have reported in the past as being able to receive them even with non-satellite antennas such as discones, ground plane, rubber duck and long wire antennas, so try your luck even if you don’t have the right antenna.
We recommend using the Orbitron software to track the ISS, but you can also use the web tracker on issfanclub.com as recommended by the ARRL.

20th Ka and Broadband Communications, Navigation and Earth Observation Conference will be held in
Salerno / Vietri, Italy, on October 1-3, 2014.
The Conference was founded in 1995 to promote the use of Ka Band in commercial satellite communications. Now that Ka Band is firmly established and has enabled the deployment of very successful satellites with greater than 100 gigabyte capacity, it is time for exploring higher frequencies to permit larger capacity satellites to serve more customers.
Many areas of the world are still without affordable communications and more spectrum is needed to serve them. This spectrum expansion will be accomplished by characterizing the Q and V bands using the recently launched Alphasat, which will enable the commercial communications satellite industry to move forward.
The Conference will continue to document the many advances being made in the satellite field, as new technologies and applications continue to be developed in Communications, Navigation, Earth Observation, and Deep Space Exploration.
It is for this reason that we rely on the satellite industry and institutions for participation, paper presentations, and for financial support, which can take the form of a general sponsorship of USD 7,000.00, which entitles the sponsor to the following benefits:
In addition to the above sponsorships, there are advertising opportunities to support Conference materials,
specific activities and social events, such as:
Exhibits, made up of 6-foot tabletops, are also available during the Conference. Space is
limited and provided on a first come first served basis, along any other accommodations required to showcase your
company and/or products.
The cost of the above opportunities will be agreed upon with the Conference Organization.
We hope that you find it possible to support the Conference and we would appreciate knowing of your intent to sponsor and advertise by January 31, 2014 such that your logo can be displayed as early as possible on the web site.
The advertisement page, along with the payment of the general sponsorship fee, should be received by August 1, 2014.

These days everyone wants an out-of-this-world hotel experience offering excellent service or exceptional design. But if the first-ever luxury space hotel launches in late 2021 as planned, the figure of speech will for once be an accurate description.
In early April, plans for the futuristic Aurora Station were announced at the Space 2.0 Summit in San Jose, California. The exclusive hotel, which is being developed by space technology startup Orion Span, is slated to launch in late 2021 and plans to host its first guests in 2022.
Orion Span says Aurora Station will accommodate six people—including two crew members—at a time. During a 12-day stay on the space station—the starting price for which is $9.5 million per person—guests will float freely through the zero-gravity hotel, taking in views of the northern and southern auroras from the station’s windows.
Prior to takeoff, all Aurora Station guests will partake in a mandatory three-month training program to receive an Orion Span Astronaut Certification. Phase one of this certification program can be completed online; the next portion will occur at Orion Span’s training facility in Houston, and the final training will take place during each expedition on Aurora Station.
Those eager to explore travel’s latest frontier (and who have the ability to dish out a far-reaching sum) will take part in numerous authentic astronaut experiences aboard Aurora Station, from real space research experiments to virtual reality simulations. Once in orbit, guests can also stay in touch or live stream with their loved ones via high-speed wireless Internet access. Upon return to Earth, Aurora Station guests will be treated to a “hero’s welcome home.”
“We developed Aurora Station to provide a turnkey destination in space,” chief executive officer and founder of Orion Span, Frank Bunger, said in a statement. “Upon launch, Aurora Station goes into service immediately, bringing travelers into space quickly and at a lower price point than ever seen before.”
If Aurora Station hosts its first expedition in 2022 as planned, the modular hotel will mark an astronomical move toward making space travel more mainstream. We’ll count down the years until we can afford to make the trip.
Aurora Station is now accepting deposits for future stays. The fully refundable deposit is $80,000 per person and can be reserved online! [content credit: www.tastingtable.com, by

Space flight was once a privilege reserved for astronauts. Ever since humans first began venturing into space, children have dreamed of staking their own claim on the final frontier. For those of you who never stopped dreaming, although you didn't make the government's cut, you can thank some very forward-thinking entrepreneurs with a lot of capital. Your dream of traveling beyond our world might just come true. And if Robert Bigelow has anything to do with it, you'll have an inflatable hotel to stay in when you get there.
Bigelow began his new aerospace company, "Bigelow Aerospace," in 1999. He built his fortune in real estate and now owns the Budget Suites of America hotel chain. Bigelow founded his plans for the commercial space station (hotel) upon an abandoned NASA project that sought to use inflatable structures in outer space. The structures are sent into orbit using rockets. Once they get there, the structures inflate.
Building on that concept, Bigelow's team of designers and engineers has worked to develop an inflatable structure made of carbon fiber and Kevlar (the material used to make bulletproof vests) called the Genesis I. Still in experimental stages, at only a fraction of the size of the intended finished product, the Genesis I is hardly the inflatable space hotel the team is gunning for. But after 75 million dollars, the prototype has successfully launched into orbit and inflated. The Genesis I launched from the Ukraine aboard a Cold-War-era Russian missile 500 kilometers from Earth's surface. Bigelow plans to spend 500 million dollars by 2015 to put the commercial space station in orbit. The company is currently offering a $50 million prize to the first company that can develop a private carrier capable of reaching the station.
The Genesis I may be on an unmanned journey, that doesn't mean it's without company. The Bigelow employees sent a bunch of their stuff into orbit, a privilege the company plans to offer consumers for a few hundred dollars. I don't get it, but if they want to send their stuff into space, by all means. (link) | aerospace |

N-22 is operating in the S-Band self propelled short to midrange 2D- air surveillance radar for tactical use. It can also used as a gap filler up to an altitude of 7 000 m. The parabolic reflector of the antenna has the dimension of 4,2 × 3,1 m. It provides a cosecant squared pattern. The predesessor of the N-22 was the N-21, using the same antenna. The N-21 used as transmitter power amplifier an amplitron, that was driven by a traveling wave tube of the type LO-301M. The N-22 radar is used to provide target information to low-level air defence systems such as the Russian 9K33 Osa (NATO SA-8 “Gecko”) self-propelled surface-to-air missile system. Prime contractor for the N-22 is the RADWAR company of Poland (now PITRADWAR). The radar is mounted on a modified Tatra 815 8×8 chassis and has a fully enclosed armoured cab in the center and an elevatable mast at the rear.

In early July of this year a pair of B-1B Lancer Bombers conducted a freedom of navigation flyby over the South China Sea. The flyby took place shortly after the USS Statham an Arligh Burk Class destroyer conducted a surface freedom of navigation operation. The Chinese recognizes a large part of the South China Sea as its own territory and has recently constructed man made islands that are used as forward operating bases. The B-1B flyby reinforced the US military’s commitment to securing international waters and airspace.
The B-1B flyby over the South China Sea brings a unique capability into the South China Sea that has not been seen before. Previously the United States has only flown P-8 Poseidon and P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol aircraft through airspace over the South China Sea. Unlike those patrol aircraft the B-1B is a heavy strategic bomber capable of engaging ground targets from standoff ranges. The aircraft was delivered to the air force in 1985 has part of the Reagan buildup to counter Russia during the cold war. B-1s are not stealth yet the aircraft’s AN/APG-164 passively electronically scanned array radar along with (MTD) moving target indication can allow the B-1B to identify and engage targets from standoff ranges. These weapons include the AGM-154 JSOW and AGM-158 JASSM. The B-1B can carry of to 75,000 ibs or ordnance and fly at speeds as fast as Mach 1.2. The offensive capability is unmatched by any airborne platform in that region.
The flyby was a major shift as it is the first time that an aircraft with offensive land attack capabilities has operated in the South China Sea since the deployment of carrier battle groups in 1997. The PLAs HQ-9 Air defense system which has similar capabilities to the Russian S-300 has been deployed to the region as well prior to the flyby. The presence of the HQ-9s did not deter the US Air Force to operate in international waters despite the missiles long range. Similar flybys have been conducted over North Korea, and in the East China Sea.

SAAF JUST BEATS AUSTERITY ADJUSTED FLYING HOUR TARGET
Implementation of austerity measures at the SA Air Force (SAAF) saw it pass - even if only slightly - a reduced flying hour target for the 2022/23 financial year. The airborne service budgeted to fly 12 000 hours in the reporting period - down by a substantial 5 100 on 2021/22 - and logged 12 059.2 hours, according to the Department of Defence (DoD) 2022/23 annual report.
By far the majority - 8 900.5 - were logged in force preparation flying with force employment hours a distant second at 2 483.6. SAAF management budgeted for a thousand hours of moving VVIPs (Very, Very Important Persons) to and from local, regional, continental and international destinations and, logged 675.1 hours.
Hours flown in force preparation were close to two thousand more than planned (7 000 force preparation hours budgeted and 8 900 flown) with force employment hours 1 517 less than the 4 000 budgeted.
The annual report - again - provides no breakdown of aircraft types utilised for the three taskings.
In its introduction to the air defence section, the annual report notes the SAAF "continued to provide support to the joint force employment requirements, despite air defence capabilities remaining under pressure due to budget constraints". This is further explained by "inadequate force levels of all aircraft systems within the SAAF continued to hamper the ability to fulfil required operational and training requirements". The reduced budget "led to a decrease in force preparation hours and resulted in maintenance and servicing backlogs with fewer serviceable aircraft available".
Another observation on the funding shortfall has it "flying system groups could not ensure that all aircraft kept to planned force preparation hours; resulting in a lack of adequate force preparation hours to ensure aircrew competencies and maintain training standards".
A total of 609 learners were trained during the year under review. Annual training targets have not been met because of courses being rescheduled and still ongoing as at the end of the reporting period, the annual report noted.
A case in point on maintenance and servicing backlogs are the Cessna 208 Caravans operated by 41 Squadron out of Air Force Base (AFB) Waterkloof in Centurion. The single-engine, high wing aircraft have been in service since 1988 and are grounded with some reports having it for over two years.
That the grounding was not unexpected cane from Armscor, which noted the end of a maintenance contract in December 2021 brought the eight-strong Caravan fleet's age to 40 years, requiring "a midlife upgrade to cater for obsolete avionics". A new maintenance contract was to be adjudicated in April 2022 with no bidder meeting the requirements.
In response to a defenceWeb inquiry, Armscor Senior Manager: Corporate Communication Liziwe Nkonyana said: "The client (the SAAF) has since requested to review the scope of work to include both support and upgrades".
Once a SAAF tasking letter is received Armscor's supply chain management process will start "immediately".
SAAF PILOTS TRAINING AT THE INTERNATIONAL TEST PILOTS SCHOOL IN CANADA
The International Test Pilots School (ITPS) in Canada is training three South African Air Force (SAAF) pilots and an engineer, who joined the first course of 2023. The pilots are Lieutenant Colonel Geoffrey Cooper from 2 Squadron (Gripen), Lieutenant Colonel Akhon Ngcobo from 28 Squadron (C-130BZ Hercules captain) and Major Jonathan Sterling from 87 Helicopter Flying School in Bloemfontein. The engineer is Captain Ngobeni.
They are part of an intake that includes pilots from Poland, the Netherlands and Turkey, with candidates from Airbus, Leonardo PZL-Swidnik, the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF), Turkish Air Force, and Turkish Aerospace Industries. (ITPS graduates have taken Turkey's Hurkus turboprop trainer and T-625 medium helicopter to first flight, development and certification and ITPS graduates have conducted the first taxi tests of Turkey's Hurjet and TF-X prototypes.)
"We are delighted to have the SAAF back at ITPS, and to welcome new customer the RNLAF! They are joined by ITPS Assistant Flight Test Instructors, Vaughn Guigui and Guy Lynch who will be participating in the full course," ITPS said in a statement at the beginning of the year.
The SA Air Force has previously made use of ITPS to train test pilots and has in the past sent about two members a year on course.
Originally established in the UK in 1986, the International Test Pilots School is now based in London, Ontario, and is one of only eight recognised schools of experimental flight testing worldwide. For more than 30 years, ITPS has been training test pilots and flight test engineers for air forces and the civil industry. The company also provides military flight training. Before ITPS moved to Canada in 2001, Canada did not have a school of flight testing, unlike most major aerospace industry countries.
ITPS Canada is an EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) Approved Training Organisation for test pilots and flight test engineers, offering courses ranging from one year Graduate course, EASA CAT-1 and CAT-2 courses, short courses and online courses. The school is also a Designated Learning Institution offering a Master of Science in Flight Test Engineering. Students from around the world are trained using various fighter and trainer jets, light aircraft, helicopters and flight simulators, including L-29, L-39 and Hunter jets.
The SAAF has very few test pilots, although it does draw on test pilots working for Incomar and the Test Flying Academy of South Africa (TFASA) based in Oudtshoorn. Former Incomar CEO Johannes Joubert, for example, completed the Experimental Test Pilots Course at ITPS in the 1990s and did test pilot work for the SAAF and later for various customers like Ahrlac at Incomar. Another ITPS alumnus is former SAAF pilot Jannie Scott, who was an instructor at ITPS for two years before heading the TFASA's Test Pilot School between 2018 and 2022 - he is now CEO of Ascenso Flight Test in Mossel Bay.
GAMA MOURNS THE LOSS OF RICHARD "SPAD" MCSPADDEN
Leaders of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) express their deepest sorrow and condolences as the association mourns the loss of Richard "Spad" McSpadden, Senior Vice President of the AOPA Air Safety Institute.
"Yesterday, aviation lost a true giant. Our general aviation community is in deep mourning with the passing of Richard McSpadden," said Pete Bunce, GAMA President and CEO. "Spad was a close friend. We flew F-15s together over the skies of Iraq, worked closely within the airshow community when he served as the leader of the USAF Thunderbirds, and we flew the Idaho backcountry together. I have never known an aviator with finer pilot skills who then in-turn selflessly helped others benefit from his vast expertise with such humility that pilots at any experience level felt comfortable learning in Spad's presence."
"Spad was pilot's pilot," said Eric Hinson, SIMCOM President and CEO and GAMA Chairman. "His quiet competency was evident to all of us who were fortunate to fly with him. We have lost one of our very best and a true champion of aviation safety."
"The best tribute we can give to Richard is to continue to raise the safety bar in general aviation and share Spad's passion to make us all better aviators. Our hearts and prayers go out to Judy, Grant, Annabel and their entire extended family, the family of the other pilot lost in this tragedy, and the AOPA team," Bunce added.
MD HELICOPTERS CLOSES CONTRACT WITH NIGERIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR 12 MD 530F CAYUSE WARRIOR PLUS HELICOPTERS.
MD Helicopters (MDH) closed a contract with the Nigerian federal government for 12 MD 530F Cayuse Warrior Plus Scout/Attack helicopters during a signing ceremony in Nigeria. The aircraft will be operated by the Nigerian Army Aviation to effectively tackle the security challenges in the country.

"We designed the Ascend to take the best from our legendary 560XL series - the most successful family of business jets - and set a new standard in terms of comfort and performance," said Lannie O'Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations. "For the first time in North America, customers can see for themselves how the Ascend can transform their business or travel experiences and give them versatility and flexibility to accomplish any mission, now and in the future."
Currently under development, the Citation Ascend is expected to enter into service in 2025.
South Africa, near Ceres, Western Cape: A Titan Tornado S crashed near Ceres Western Cape, when approaching Ceres Airfield (FACE). The sole pilot died and the ultralight was written off.
Zimbabwe, 6 km NW of Mashava: A Cessna 206 Stationair operated by RZM Murowa, crashed in the Zvamahande area. The six occupants died and the aircraft was destroyed.
Atlantic Ocean, North Sea between Norway and Shetland UK: A search operation was launched after a Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP aircraft lost contact over the North Sea. The plane had taken off from Germany with one person on board. When the alarm was raised the aircraft was believed to be in the UK search and rescue region. A fixed-wing aircraft was sent to investigate an area between Shetland and Norway on Monday. HM Coastguard said no sign of the plane was found and the search was stood down. It will not resume unless any new information comes to light.
Switzerland, Samedan Airport, St. Moritz: A Robin DR.400/140B (DR.401/155 CDi) failed take-off from Samedan Airport (SMV/LSZS), St. Moritz, resulting in a crash landing at the end of the runway. The four occupants were not injured and the aircraft received substantial damage. The brand-new aircraft was delivered one day earlier from the factory to Motorfluggruppe Thurgau.
Canada, St-Mathieu-de-Beloeil Airport: An amateur-built Eagle Helicycle in private operation, was performing maintenance on the tarmac at St-Mathieu-de-Beloeil airport in Beloeil Qc. The turbine was operating with the rotors engaged. The helmeted pilot was at the controls in the pilot's seat. A mechanic was adjusting the turbine, which was supplied with fuel from an external canister. At one point, the turbine suddenly spun out of control, causing the aircraft to start tipping dynamically. The pilot, unaware that the mechanic's feet were on the skid, tried to prevent the rollover by applying collective, causing the aircraft to take off. As it gained altitude, the canister supplying the turbine disconnected and the turbine stopped when it was about 30 feet above the ground. The aircraft descended and hit the ground heavily. The pilot and mechanic suffered minor injuries.
USA, Boerne Stage Airfield, Scenic Oaks, TX: A Luscombe 8A experienced a loss of directional control and a subsequent impact with a hangar during a landing attempt at Boerne Stage Airfield (5C1), Scenic Oaks, Texas. The sole pilot onboard was seriously injured.
USA, Madera County, CA: An experimental Sonex Aircraft Sonex (MG-1), amateur built, crashed and flipped over in a field in Madera County, California, when the canopy was ripped off by high winds. The pilot was not injured and the aircraft received substantial damage.
USA, near Gunnison, MS: A Boeing Stearman A75N1 (PT-17) Kaydet, N58383, clipped a Cotton Picker and force landed to farm field terrain during a low-level flight, one with smoke on, near Gunnison, Mississippi. There were no injuries. A review of two videos online show two Boeing Stearmans (N58383 and N5178N) flying at low altitude over the cotton field near Gunnison, Mississippi. The accident airplane, N58383, struck the top of a stationary Cotton Picker, causing the left landing gear to separate. The pilot conducted a safe forced landing.
1 OCTOBER 1940
A British bomber is shot down over the Netherlands by German antiaircraft artillery after being illuminated by a searchlight coupled to a Freya radar. It is the first time an aircraft is destroyed after being detected and illuminated by a radar-guided searchlight.
Freya was an early warning radar deployed by Germany during World War II; it was named after the Norse goddess Freyja. During the war, over a thousand stations were built. A naval version operating on a slightly different wavelength was also developed as the Seetakt.
Freya was first successfully used on December 18, 1939 when two stations detected an approaching daytime raid on Wilhelmshaven by 22 RAF Vickers Wellington bombers at a range of 113 km and guided fighter planes toward them via radio.
Only half of the Wellingtons returned to Britain undamaged, but the German fighters only reached the bomber after they had made their bombing run on ships in harbour. The performance of Freya left the Luftwaffe so impressed that, by the Spring of 1940, eleven Freya stations were installed to guard Germany's western border.
After the invasion of France in 1940, additional Freya stations were built along the Atlantic coast. When Britain started its bombing raids, Hermann Göring ordered Colonel (later General) Josef Kammhuber to install an efficient air defence. This led to the so-called Kammhuber Line into which more Freya stations were incorporated. In the later course of the war, Freya devices turned out to be vulnerable to chaff, along with other countermeasures, which meant they could still be used for early warning, but no longer for guiding fighter planes. British bombing raids could also be organized such that the Kammhuber Line could be overwhelmed in massed raids. | aerospace |

On November 2, SpiderOak of Lenexa, KS announced that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to deliver the company’s OrbitSecure zero-trust protocol on-orbit. The project will demonstrate end-to-end cybersecurity for the Department of Defense’s future Hybrid Space Architecture, an initiative the U.S. Congress has begun referring to as the “Outernet” through legislation.
As commercial space companies continue delivering increasingly innovative capabilities at an unprecedented rate, the Pentagon grows more eager to incorporate these technologies while securing and defending these hybrid (mixed commercial and government) networks across multiple domains. With escalating threats from China and Russia, it is more critical than ever to ensure secure global, ubiquitous, and hybrid connectivity throughout the space domain for commercial, civil, and military users, including international allies and partners.
SpiderOak will demonstrate its OrbitSecure zero-trust software suite on-orbit to support DIU’s development of a scalable architecture capable of communicating across government and commercial networks, while also remaining trusted and relevant in a dynamic threat environment. SpiderOak’s contract with DIU is in collaboration with the United States Space Force Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC).
SpiderOak’s zero-trust OrbitSecure software was developed for 21st century space needs and is also backward compatible to the Space Force’s existing on-orbit constellations. OrbitSecure will demonstrate an enhanced space-domain cyber resilience even when network hardware or application software has been compromised.
“Warfighters have identified cyber-attacks as the ‘soft underbelly’ of the satellites on which we depend for our defense and modern life,” said John Moberly, senior vice president for space, SpiderOak. “We are thrilled to be selected by DIU and SWAC and partnered with York Space Systems to secure this mission and we are very much looking forward to working with the other companies selected to support the entire Hybrid Space Architecture into the future. Jointly we are enabling a foundational layer of commercial industry and allied capabilities to ensure our national security is protected from the ground and from space.”

The S-92A is widely used in offshore operations around the world and is known for its ability to transport large crews and heavy cargo to drilling platforms. ASU obtained the STC for a Bristow aircraft operating in the Gulf of Mexico.
“The S-92A not only plays a critical role transporting personnel to and from oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, but it also is an essential emergency search and rescue aircraft capable of providing the needed support in a variety of critical and often times dangerous situations,” said ASU Vice President of Engineering Kip McDermott. “Flying aircraft at night in the Gulf of Mexico in near dark conditions to evacuate people in an emergency is not a luxury. It is a necessity. With the approval of the S-92A NVIS STC, Bristow has added another essential level of safety to night operations.”
With the help of ASU NVIS senior evaluation technician Justin Hill and FAA DER test pilot Rick Simmons, the testing for the STC was completed allowing Bristow to begin NVG operations using the S-92A. ASU now has 90+ make/model STC’s on approximately 1200 aircraft.
“This STC will pay off if even one life is saved because of Gulf Coast operators being able to fly with NVGs,” said ASU President Jim Winkel. “No matter what the aircraft is or where the aircraft flies, we believe NVGs enhance safety and help people get home safe. That is why we continue to champion the message of NVG use in search and rescue, law enforcement, helicopter air ambulance, and special missions around the world.”
ASU has worked on STCs not only in the United States and Canada, but has also aided operations in Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia. ASU plans to discuss the use of NVGs at HELITECH International in the fall and will be showcasing their products October 3-5 at booth B30 along with HeliAir. HeliAir will have an NVIS modified H135 Helicopter on display. | aerospace |

The Apollo project provides an excellent example of what can be accomplished when people study a problem, experiment, theorize on solutions, and conduct tests to conform or falisfy their theories. Nowhere in the whole Apollo project was any issue ever explained by saying, "God did it." Indeed, if these types of answers, rather than scientific answers, were the working model of the day, Apollo would never have lauched.
50 years ago today.
T minus 8 years, 9 months, and 10 days and counting.
Fifty years ago, we were 8 years, 9 months, and 10 days away from a human setting foot on the moon. However, at that time, nobody had a plan to get humans to the moon. NASA was still struggling to get humans into space. It wanted to get a human up to the edge of space, let him work through about five minutes of weightlessness, and get him back to Earth.
For that, NASA needed a relatively safe rocket. As we have said before, that rocket needed to survive "Max-Q". This was the point at which the constantly increasing speed of the aircraft working against the thinning atmosphere of the Earth as the spaceship climbed put the manned capsule under the greatest amount of stress.
This was also the day that John F. Kennedy defeated Richard M. Nixon in the 1960 election for President of the United States - the election that would actually result, six months later, in the launch of the Apollo moon program.
But this day in November, 1960, was going to be another day of disappointment. Sixteen seconds after launch, the escape rocket would fire prematurely. They would fire while the main booster rocket was still firing, which means that the main rocket was still accelerating, which means that it failed to pull the capsule away from the rocket. The capsule and rocket remained mated together while they both completed their ballistic flights and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean 14 miles down range.
Salvage crews were only able to recover less than half of the capsule. | aerospace |

Several persons who fly frequently, especially when Montreal Airport is their main departure and arrival destination, will be aware that sometimes the monitors displaying the status of the flight will be showing different information than what is shown at the gate. This is because the FAA provides the data to the airport relating to flight arrival and departure – all US flights are monitored by the FAA. The information at the gate is not specific to any airline and is not provided by the FAA but from the operation center of the airline. Because of this, if there is mechanical interruption, for example, that the FAA does not know about, this may result in the times being different on the monitors and the gate. This can certainly be frustrating so it is recommended that you ensure that the gate is double-checked as they may have the information that is more up-to-date.
The arrival times that the Airport schedules are generally on time but there are times when certain factors affect the flight arrival times; for example, the weather: flying through snow squall or thunderstorm or the requirement to have the aircraft de-iced. Air traffic can be caused by several factors. Congestion sometimes requires that air traffic controllers delay a few flights in a recommended form before they get the go ahead to land. At the airport, there may be an inconsistency in the information as it might be reported that the flight has arrived when it is circling the air. Mechanical problems can also cause delay to flight arrivals. If the mechanical issue developed while the plane is in the air, there may be a re-routing of the flight to another landing area. The information from the FAA may not be quick in updating the arrival schedule and individuals on the ground may believe things are running as schedule when in fact, the flight has landed somewhere else. | aerospace |

Daily - Sunrise & Sunset
*Pending weather conditions
Enjoy one of the most romantic hot air balloon rides in New York!, Take in the stunning views while you ride over the serene New Jersey countryside.
- FAA certified pilot with 20 years of experience flying Hot Air Balloons
- Over 15,000 delighted passengers flown
- Stunning views of stunning New Jersey countryside
- Complimentary champagne and hors d'oeuvres at the conclusion of your flight
Enjoy one of the most romantic experiences available, a private hot air balloon ride over the serene New Jersey countryside.
Your flight begins either at sunrise or before sunset. You'll rise gently above the earth onboard in our FAA certified hot air balloon, piloted by a highly experienced commercial pilot, for the romantic experience of a lifetime!
Hot air ballooning is magical. The feeling of being as free as the wind. . . that is what ballooning is about!
This private flight is the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. Your flight will last about an hour but the memory will last a lifetime.
- There is no age limit, however it's not recommended for children under 4
- The pilots are certified by the FAA as commercial balloon pilots and are qualified to carry passengers for hire
- For safety reasons there is a maximum weight limit of 750 pounds per balloon
- Package includes digital in-flight photos that will be emailed to you after your flight
1 hour of flight time
2 Per Flight
This is only for those in the balloon.
This experience is weather dependent. Ballooning is strictly a fair weather-light wind activity. Generally a balloon launch is not possible when the wind speed exceeds 10 mph. This is why balloon flights occur around dawn or a couple of hours prior to sunset when winds are usually lightest and the air is the most stable. If weather conditions cause a postponement of your flight, the experience provider is happy to reschedule the experience.
What to Wear:
We recommend that you dress as if you were going for a hike. The temperature during the flight is basically the same as it is on the ground. Most of the flight will be below 1,000 ft., and the temperature is only 3 degrees cooler even at that altitude. Please do not wear sandals or open toed shoes. Athletic shoes and socks are perfect. The propane burner system which creates the heat for our hot air balloon is located above your head, so a hat is suggested.
For this experience, it is recommended to request bookings at least 14 days in advance for weekends and 3 days in advance for weekdays.
Prior to scheduling/booking a date for this experience, Cloud 9 Living's standard return and exchange policy shall apply. Once you have scheduled a date and received a booking confirmation, no refunds will be given. Rescheduling is allowed up to 14 days prior to your experience, failure to appear on your booked date or to reschedule at least 14 days prior to your booked date will result in the loss of the value of your experience. In the event your experience is cancelled due to inclement weather you will reschedule your experience directly with your experience provider.
If I am afraid of heights could I enjoy a balloon flight?
Absolutely! In fact most of the passengers have some fear of heights. Strangely enough there is no feeling like that of being on the edge of a tall building or the feeling you get on a Ferris wheel. Ballooning is calm, almost serene. If you can handle an airline flight, you will probably really enjoy ballooning.
Can I bring a camera?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a camera along, but do so at your own risk. Cameras must be stowed for landings.
Are there any weight restrictions?
For safety reasons there is a maximum weight limit of 750 pounds per balloon.

From WWII Radars to Drone detection system
All of us had seen and heard about radars since World War II to detect aircraft and contribute to aid the Air Defenses. However, with the emergence of Drones and Quadcopters, it seems that this military technology is being applied not only in the context of powerful bombers or fighters but also as authentic drone detectors.
New companies are offering a myriad of technologies and systems to detect drones when they approach to pre-defined locations. Yes, they are really acting as AWACS of drones: Drone detectors.
In short, the DD (Drone Detector) is an electronic device used to identify the presence of quadcopters. Although they are multiple companies trying to succeed in this new market niche, it seems that the most advances and innovative systems are manufactured by Drone Labs. This company is an American-based company, in particular this company is located in Austin, Texas. It is a new company started in 2014, and although they initially focused in agriculture applications for drones, they quickly explored other areas when some news about paparazzi-type of drone intrusion was in the media. Then, it was clear that early warning and detection of drones could help to personal privacy and rest of people.
What does the Drone Detection System Do ?
There are really many parameters and variables that a Drone Detection System can measure and evaluate. Depending the types of Drones (because some advanced models can also carry their own counter-measures!), the Drone Detection system can identify the altitude of a quadcopter or drone, the GPS coordinates of the drone, the GPS coordinates of its operator, and the unique identifier of the drone model being used.
Which kind of technologies do they use?
More than one specific technique or method, in what they succeeded was in the combination of several strategies such as sensing methods (e.g. radio waves) to detect drones up to half a kilometer away. Using this method, they can detect drones in the air, on the ground, and in the water. On the other hand, the method also uses audio technology to detect autonomous drones that don’t emit radio waves.
Then, we have detected a drone invading our privacy, what can the system do for us? When the alien drone or flying machine is detected and identified, the system can automatically inform its owner through a variety of methods including email, text message, and iphone app notification.
It really seems a promising niche for business since the number of flying drones and quadcopters can only increase, and even more, if Amazon finally use them for they own delivery business. | aerospace |

RSC Energia: Soyuz МС-04 being prepared for leak testsMarch 17, 2017
RSC Energia and SC Yuzhnyi specialists are preparing a transport manned vehicle of the new modification Soyuz MS-04 for leak tests in the vacuum chamber at Baikonur cosmodrome.
So far, the testing cycle of space hardware in a vacuum chamber using a helium-air medium in tested volumes is the most objective method of leak check in ground conditions, ensuring verification of the specified stringent pressurization integrity requirements.
The launch of Soyuz MS-04 with the crew of the next long-duration expedition to the International Space Station is scheduled for April 20, 2017 from Baikonur cosmodrome.
The unique vacuum complex 17T523M with a volume of 1515 cubic meters was developed based on vacuum chamber 17T523, which was intended for leak tests of large-size compartments and pneumatic/hydraulic systems of Buran orbital vehicles. Due to a new configuration the complex could be used to test large-size space hardware. A number of space products were successfully tested in vacuum chamber 17T523M including Soyuz, Progress spacecraft, core module of the ISS Russian Segment Zvezda, Piers and Poisk modules, Yamal communication satellites and others. As a result of the extensive reconstruction completed in 2016 the obsolete complex instruments and assemblies were replaced by modern ones. Modern vacuum pumps, seals, cooling system elements have been installed, the analogue control unit of the complex has been replaced by an electronic one. The camera body and the cradle structure to load products were subject to refurbishment procedures.

African Pilot’s August edition
The August edition of African Pilot that features all the aviation businesses at Lanseria International Airport that took part in this feature is complete. The August edition has completed its circulation phase and, but you can always download the August edition or any previous edition from 2020 by clicking on the buttons below. Apart from the Lanseria feature, this bumper edition of 174 pages has more than 34 fully illustrated articles published. It has also become abundantly clear that African Pilot is the only South African aviation publication that has being interacting with its clients and readers on a regular basis throughout the COVID-19 lockdown period.
African Pilot has made significant changes to the August edition
Someone once said the only thing that is sure is that things will change. Over the past 19 years that African Pilot has been publishing its monthly aviation magazine, we have been fixated on the printed version. Now that the magazine is being published in the digital format, the font size has increased by 50%, whilst the number of pages has increased to 174 to accommodate the reader’s experience on digital platforms. The fact that readers will be positioned to access the August edition on any device means that the African Pilot will become far more user friendly. This will be the first of a series of enhancements that will culminate in an interactive publication with provision for picture galleries and short videos within the next month. The August 2020 edition will be the first magazine to adopt some of these changes, with others to follow from September onwards.
African Pilot’s September edition
The September edition of African Pilot will feature Avionics and Instrumentation, which is normal since I usually bring the newest developments of the exciting developments announced at AirVenture in Oshkosh each year. However, this year I will have attended several online webinars during the AirVenture week to find out as much as possible about what is to be launched to the aviation world. This edition is nearly complete and it will be entering its circulation phase on 25 August 2020.
The material deadline for the September edition was on Wednesday 19 August 2020, but we can still accommodate late marketing messages.
For advertising opportunities please contact Adrian Munro at e-mail: [email protected] or Cell: 079 880 4359. All editorial material should be sent to me at: [email protected].
About African Pilot
There is no doubt that African Pilot provides the finest overall media reach of all aviation publications in Africa where we are in a position to provide professional video and stills photography, website development, social media platforms, company newsletters as well as several other important media services to our customers. Naturally the monthly printed magazine has an incredibly long shelf life due to its excellent design and layout. Then of course the monthly magazine is also available as a digital edition where ALL advertisers have enjoy the direct routing to their websites at a touch on a smart phone or tablet as well as a click of the mouse on a computer screen.

However, all photographs submitted will be considered for the ‘Picture of the Month’ within the monthly magazine and I will be looking for a sponsor to cover the cost of a monthly fee.
SOUTH AFRICAN AVIATION NEWS
Notam from the SACAA
On Monday evening I received notification from the SACAA that the lockdown restrictions related to General Aviation and Recreational Aviation are lifted as of midnight 17 August 2020. The supporting NOTAM below, to be noted is under 2321/20 paragraph 1) with paragraph 5) qualifying the conditions under which flying is to operate. It essentially means that industry and individuals will need to self-regulate and comply with National COVID-19 protocols. This essentially means no further permits being required for proficiency or maintenance related flights.
Once again, the SACAA has sent out a NOTAM in code, which is very difficult to read and interpret. For this reason, I have unpacked the NOTAM into South African English so that the aviation industry can fully understand what has been said. In addition, I have corrected the grammar and spelling errors:

COVID-19 consolidated regulations summary
OR Tambo international airport excited and geared up to welcome passengers under level 2
The opening of leisure travel under Level 2 is exciting news for OR Tambo International Airport which is ready and standing by to welcome domestic passengers. The airport is ready to facilitate passengers under Level 2 with extensive health and safety measures in place and rigorous monitoring of compliance with regulations.
“Passengers who have not been inside an airport for months will find a range of measures in place that absolutely have to be followed to the letter. We hope that by now the public has grown accustomed to mask-wearing, sanitisation and hand-washing and physical distancing. Once inside the airport you will still be able to buy refreshments and in due course some food outlets may also reopen. We expect other retailers may also begin to reopen their stores now that demand is returning. The measures applied by these stores will be the same as those used in malls and supermarkets.
Airport instrumentation calibration aircraft has arrived
According to all accounts the Ukrainian airport calibration aircraft arrived on Monday evening. This is a King Air 350 registration UR-CWA. We wish the crew well as they proceed with the work of re-calibrating the airports where various approach and landing instruments have already been switched off.

SAAF 15 Squadron performs long distance rescue mission
An Oryx helicopter from 15 Squadron braved serious weather conditions and several hundred kilometres of rough flying did not stop the South Africa Air Force (SAAF) from executing a successful maritime medevac off Port Elizabeth. The medium transport helicopter based at Air Force Base Durban was summoned to airlift a patient with a serious leg injury off the crude oil tanker Babylon on Friday 14 August. Jonathan Kellerman, NSRI (National Sea Rescue Institute) Durban station commander, said: “On Friday, 15 Squadron, NSRI Durban rescue swimmers and Netcare 911 rescue paramedics were activated to evacuate a 36-year-old Indian crewman, suffering a serious injury, off a 330 metre crude oil tanker near Port Elizabeth.”
The Oryx helicopter, accompanied by two NSRI Durban rescue swimmers and two Netcare 911 rescue paramedics, departed AFB Durban with arrangements for refuelling at East London and Port Elizabeth. After refuelling in East London, on arrival at the ship, off Algoa Bay, in calm sea conditions, the rescue swimmers and rescue paramedic were hoisted onto the vessel with a rescue stretcher.
The seriously injured patient with a compound leg fracture, reportedly sustained in a fall, was taken into care from the ship’s medical crew. Secured into a rescue stretcher the patient was hoisted into the helicopter accompanied by a rescue paramedic. The rescuers were hoisted and recovered into the helicopter. He was brought safely aboard the helicopter and delivered to St George’s Hospital for further treatment thanks to good airmanship and winching skills of the flight crew. According to the SAAF, commander Colonel Zungu, co-pilot Major Sandi and flight engineer Flight Sergeant Vuamzonke undertook an exceptional job of rescuing the patient.
On Sunday 9 August, another SAAF Oryx performed a rescue further down the Cape coast when ten hikers from Bainskloof between Ceres and Wellington became trapped on the wrong side of a swollen river. The helicopter, under the command of Major Agenbag with co-pilot Major Strauss and flight engineer, Warrant Officer Usher, performed the rescue in two separate sorties. The first saw two hikers hoisted and landed safely before the aircraft returned for the remaining eight hikers.
USAF C-130J delivers personal protective equipment to South Africa
On Saturday 15 August a United States Air Force C-130J Super Hercules delivered nearly R6 million worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) to the South African National Department of Health (NDoH), which will use it to support the fight against the COVID-9 pandemic in Gauteng, Western Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal. The US Embassy said the equipment that arrived at OR Tambo International Airport comprised of masks, gloves, medical gowns and sanitizing supplies.
The US Embassy said that the US military’s Africa Command (Africom) also announced that is supporting the set-up of handwashing stations in Gauteng, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal, contributing $225 000 (R4 million) to this initiative. This brings the total value of US support toward South Africa’s COVID-19 response to over $46 million (R808 million),
Separately, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief in Africa (PEPFAR) have worked side-by-side with the South African government throughout the COVID-19 response through the provision of ventilators, oxygen supply and related training; lab support and preparedness; community health care worker support as well as water and sanitation projects, the US Embassy noted.
AFRICAN AVIATION NEWS
Impact of COVID-19 on African aviation and economies is worsening
Written by IATA -18 August 2020
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has released new data indicating that the impact of COVID-19 on Africa’s aviation industry and economies has worsened sharply since the previous assessment in April. Job losses in aviation and related industries could increase by up to 3.5 million. That is more than half of the region’s 6.2 million aviation-related employment and 400 000 more than the previous estimate. Full-year 2020 traffic is expected to plummet by 54% (more than 80 million passenger journeys) compared to 2019. Previous estimate was a fall of 51%. GDP supported by aviation in the region could fall by up to $35 billion. IATA previously estimated a $28 billion decline.
“COVID-19 has devastated African economies and brought air connectivity across the continent to a virtual standstill. And the situation is getting worse. The economic consequences resulting from a disconnected continent are severe. Millions of jobs and livelihoods are at risk in family-run enterprises and large corporations along the entire travel and tourism value chain. For Africa’s economic recovery and future prosperity, it is essential to expedite the safe restart of the industry,” said Muhammad Al Bakri, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Africa and the Middle East.
To minimise the impact on jobs and the broader African economy an accelerated recovery of air transport across the continent is vital. This can be achieved through government action in two priority areas:
1) Harmonising the restart of air transport in Africa
The harmonised adoption of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council’s Aviation Recovery Task Force (CART) Take-off guidance – the global biosafety framework for the safe restart of aviation – is critical for the safe resumption of air transport, IATA said. :To avoid conflicting measures, disruptions and inefficiencies, all countries, including those in Africa, must apply these recommendations consistently and uniformly, without imposing unnecessary border constraints such as quarantines, which deter passengers and suppress the demand for air travel.”
According to ICAO, Rwanda is amongst the first countries in the world to have fully complied with ICAO’s biosecurity recommendations. Barry Kashambo, Regional Director, ESAF speaking on behalf of the ICAO Regional Offices accredited to African States ICAO said: “We recognise the efforts and actions by Rwanda and some other States, to fully implement the provisions of ICAO CART recommendations and Take-off guidance and measures. We encourage all Governments in Africa to prioritize the restart of aviation and to tap into its potential as an enabler to Africa’s economic recovery post COVID-19. Air connectivity is critical to economic and sustainable development and the movement of persons across the continent.”
2) Stepping up efforts to support the industry
Continued financial and regulatory support, particularly financial relief – that does not increase industry debt levels – through direct cash injections, credit or loans and deferrals or discounts on user charges are essential to support airlines over the restart and recovery period.
“We are grateful to the few African governments that have provided relief to aviation so far – Rwanda, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and recently Cabo Verde. Their actions have helped save thousands of jobs and will enable some airlines to restart and support the wider economies they serve. But the situation is worsening. Continued relief measures are essential to minimize job losses and ensure that connectivity can be restored. We urge African governments and the development institutions who have committed funding to provide it urgently in a structure that does not weaken already stressed airline balance sheets, before it is too late,” said Albakri.
WORLDWIDE ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS
Troubled pilot and his daughter die after plane hits tower
The airline transport pilot and his daughter departed in day visual meteorological conditions with the morning sun behind the Piper PA-28R. About 10 minutes after take-off, the airplane hit a charted, 1,793-foot-tall television / radio tower about 200 feet below the apex of the tower, which was near Kaplan, Louisiana. Both the pilot and his daughter died in the crash.
The pilot and his wife were in the process of divorce. The pilot’s wife was very concerned after the pilot and her daughter departed without notice several weeks before the accident. The pilot had become unresponsive to phone calls from his work supervisor and had been making unauthorised purchases with his work credit card before the accident.
On the day before the accident, the pilot’s attorney informed the pilot that a warrant had been issued for his arrest. A direct course from the departure airport to the pilot’s home airport was over five miles south of the tower. Although a surveillance video and witness statements indicated that the tower’s lighting was erratic, the tower was adequately lit and the visibility of the tower was not a factor in the accident.
NTSB preliminary report: Piper PA32RT
On 1 August 2020, a Piper PA-32RT-300T was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The pilot and four passengers were not injured. On the day of the accident, the pilot and the passengers were planning to fly from Cherry Ridge Airport (N30), Honesdale, Pennsylvania, to Ocean City Municipal Airport (OXB), Ocean City, Maryland. According to the pilot, prior to take-off from runway 36, he confirmed that the electric fuel boost pump was on, the mixture and propeller controls were full forward. He increased engine power to full throttle with the brakes held, then released the brakes and initiated the take-off with no flaps extended. He noticed the airplane was veering to the left, which did not correct with right rudder input. The veering became worse as the airplane accelerated.
About halfway down the runway, at 70 to 71 knots, which was not yet the rotation speed, the airplane was near the left edge of the runway and he attempted to get airborne by pulling back on the control column. The airplane may have gotten slightly airborne but did not rotate. He felt the tail ‘bump’ and noted the airplane was off the left side of the runway. The airplane subsequently came to rest in grass with the nose landing gear collapsed. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed that it was substantially damaged.
NTSB preliminary report: Piper PA25
On 5 August 2020, a Piper PA-25-235 was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Miami, Florida. The commercial pilot was not injured. The pilot stated that he performed a thorough pre-flight inspection and no discrepancies were reported. He departed with a full fuel tank and after take-off threw out the first tow hook but it became draped over the horizontal stabiliser and elevator. He returned for an uneventful landing, secured the airplane and after clearing the tow hook, he inspected the airplane and noted no damage. He contacted tower, taxied to runway 10L, where he performed another engine run-up and departed, successfully throwing out the tow hook.
He remained in the pattern, picked the banner at 1302 and climbed on an easterly heading to 1,300 feet mean sea level (msl). He leaned the mixture, then at the top of the climb he checked the carburettor heat by applying it for 15 to 30 seconds and noted a 100-rpm drop. He removed carburettor heat and according to company tracking data flew in a southeast direction to Haulover Park, then proceeded in a southerly direction. He flew over the Port of Miami at 1,100 feet msl where he checked the carburettor heat a second time, applying it and leaving on for 15 to 30 seconds, again noting a 100-rpm drop. He removed carburettor heat and continued in a southerly direction. When the flight was south of Fisher Island, he made a radio call on the Watson Island Advisory air-to-air frequency that the flight was at 1,100 feet msl, turning to the north, descending to 700 feet msl. He applied carburettor heat before beginning to descend, but before he had time to adjust the throttle control, the engine rpm dropped to between 1,000 and 1,200.
He checked the magnetos, full and mixture were full forward but that did not restore engine power. Aware of the hazards of dropping the banner he made sure no boats were nearby and he dropped it in the water. Company tracking data reflected a slight left turn towards a south easterly direction followed by a right turn to a westerly heading. He maneuverer for a forced landing and when the flight was between 50 and 100 feet, the engine sputtered like it wanted to come back. He was fast at touchdown and collided with a fence during the landing roll. The airplane stopped within 40 to 50 feet of the fence impact. He secured the airplane.
According to the FAA inspector who examined the airplane at the accident site, the pilot landed to the west on a road. About halfway down it, the right wing collided with a chain link fence. The airplane then turned right and went down a slight embankment before coming to rest upright. He confirmed there was no fuel contamination in the fuel tank or airframe fuel strainer and noted only scratches to the propeller blades, though the propeller spinner was damaged. While he and the pilot were present, a company employee started the engine and briefly operated it to idle. During the short duration engine run oil leakage was noted from a damaged oil cooler; the engine was promptly shut down. The airplane was recovered for further examination of the engine and its systems and the fuel system.

Phillips 66 plans to transform San Francisco refinery
Phillips 66 announced that it plans to reconfigure its San Francisco Refinery in Rodeo, California, to produce renewable fuels. The plant would no longer produce fuels from crude oil, but instead would make fuels from used cooking oil, fats, greases and soybean oils. The Phillips 66 Rodeo Renewed project would produce 680 million gallons annually of renewable diesel, renewable gasoline and sustainable jet fuel. Combined with the production of renewable fuels from an existing project in development, the plant would produce greater than 800 million gallons a year of renewable fuels, making it the world’s largest facility of its kind.
The project scope includes the construction of pre-treatment units and the repurposing of existing hydrocracking units to enable production of renewable fuels. This capital efficient investment is expected to deliver strong returns through the sale of high value products while lowering the plant’s operating costs.
If approved by Contra Costa County officials and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, renewable fuels production is expected to begin in early 2024. Once reconfigured, the plant will no longer transport or process crude oil. The plant is expected to employ more than 400 jobs and up to 500 construction jobs, using local union labour, including the Contra Costa County Building and Construction Trades. Phillips 66 also announced plans to shut down the Rodeo Carbon Plant and Santa Maria refining facility in Arroyo Grande, California, in 2023. Associated crude oil pipelines will be taken out of service in phases starting in 2023.
FAA reopens Cherokee spar AD
The FAA has opened up the Piper Cherokee spar corrosion AD for comments again after AOPA pressed for less expensive ways to address the potential problem. The AD, which was initially proposed in November of 2017, will continue to affect more than 11,000 Cherokees and Cherokee Sixes but some alternative methods of compliance suggested by AOPA have been included and the comment period reopened until Sept. 18. The revised AD also includes information from Piper “to add a minimum thickness dimension for the top inboard wing skin and to include procedures for reapplying corrosion preventive compound if removed during the inspection.”
The original AD called for cutting new inspection ports in the wings because the area of the potential corrosion is not easily accessible from existing ports. Among the AMOCs suggested by AOPA is the use of borescopes to look inside the wing through existing holes.
AD: Continental Aerospace Technologies, Inc.
AD 2020-16-11. This AD was prompted by reports of in-flight engine failures due to fractured crossflow cylinder assemblies. This AD requires visual inspection and depending on the results of the inspection, modification or replacement of the crossflow cylinder assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
This AD is effective 21 September 2020.
Supplementary Information: The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Continental Aerospace Technologies, Inc. model GTSIO-520-C, GTSIO-520-D, GTSIO-520-H, GTSIO-520-K, GTSIO-520-L, GTSIO-520-M, GTSIO-520-N, IO-550-G, IO-550-N, IO-550-P, IO-550-R, IOF-550-N, IOF-550-P, IOF-550-R, TSIO-520-BE, TSIO-550-A, TSIO-550-B, TSIO-550-C, TSIO-550-E, TSIO-550-G, TSIO-550-K, TSIO-550-N, TSIOF-550-D, TSIOF-550-J, TSIOF-550-K, and TSIOF-550-P reciprocating Avgas engines with a certain cross-flow cylinder assembly installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on 17 April 2020 (85 FR 21336). The NPRM was prompted by reports of in-flight engine failures due to fractured crossflow cylinder assemblies. The NPRM proposed to require visual inspection of the crossflow cylinder assembly and depending on the results of the inspection, modification or replacement of the crossflow cylinder assembly. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
AD: Aviat Aircraft Inc.
AD 2020-16-06: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Aviat Aircraft Inc. Models A-1, A-1A, A-1B, A-1C-180 and A-1C-200 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections of the forward horizontal stabiliser support assembly and the rear horizontal stabiliser support tube and reporting information to the FAA. This AD was prompted by field reports of complete failure of both the forward support assembly and the rear support tube due to fatigue. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. This AD is effective 1 September 2020.
Supplementary Information: The FAA received three field reports from Aviat Aircraft Inc. of complete failure of the rear horizontal stabilizer inboard support tube. The first incident, discovered during a scheduled inspection, occurred in 2005 and the second incident, discovered while the airplane was being re-skinned, occurred in 2009. The third incident was discovered during a pre-flight inspection in 2012 and included a complete failure of the forward horizontal stabiliser inboard support assembly. Failure analysis of both parts from the 2012 incident concluded they failed due to fatigue. In addition to these complete failures of the rear support tube, the FAA received two field reports from Aviat Aircraft Inc. of cracks in the rear support tube, discovered during inspections, in 2005 and 2013.
Aviat Aircraft Inc. subsequently issued Service Bulletin No. 28, Revision A, dated 2 April 2015, which requires a one-time inspection of the rear stabiliser inboard support tube in response to the multiple reports of failures and cracks. In addition to the 2012 incident, which involved a failure of both supports, the FAA received two other field reports from Aviat Aircraft Inc. of complete failure of the forward horizontal stabiliser inboard support assembly, one in 2000 and one in 2019. In the first incident, the failure occurred during ground handling after flight. In the second incident the failure was discovered while the aircraft was being placed in a hanger.
Failure of either the forward or rear support transfers loads to the other support, increasing the likelihood that both could fail. This condition, if not addressed, could result in stabiliser departure and loss of airplane control.
WORLD DRONE NEWS
Optionally manned surveillance / attack plane proposed
A start-up aviation company is proposing an optionally manned surveillance and light attack platform that it says can replace such complicated aircraft as the P-3 and P-8. Icarus Aerospace’s TAV (tactical air vehicle) is a clean-sheet design that looks a lot like a cleaned-up OV-10. Although it comes with two seats, it can also be operated as a drone and as such has swarming capability. “We have developed TAV™ to be in alignment with latest international military armed overwatch and persistent presence requirements and challenges,” said spokesman Marko Ivankovic. “The aircraft platform defines a niche of its own and excels in addressing all existing and future daily threats facing our troops, security forces and our world.”
As a manned aircraft, it offers the crew state-of-the-art avionics with “sensor fusion network centric capabilities” and can carry 8,000 pounds of bombs, missiles or torpedoes. It can be used for battlefield management, communication relay, air-to-air refuelling and medevac duties as either a manned or remotely piloted platform. It is powered by two 1,700-horsepower turboprops and has an endurance of 6.5 hours.
PrecisionHawk earns UTM patents
PrecisionHawk has been awarded two patents for technologies it has developed for UTM. The patents, titled ‘Automated Unmanned Air Traffic Control System,’ are designed to enable collision avoidance between drones and manned aircraft. This is achieved by transmitting real-time flight data from drones to a UTM server prior to and while in-flight.
In order to safely fly drones’ long distances, operators must be able to avoid collisions with other drones and manned aircraft. The first patent is for technology that allows drones to send real-time telemetry to flight servers to avoid collisions while in the air. The second patent helps drone operators avoid collisions by transmitting their flight plan to a traffic management server prior to a flight to see if there is a potential for flight conflicts. The traffic management server receives similar data for other drones and manned aircraft. If there is potential for collision, the traffic management server sends an alert to the drone so the operator can adjust the flight plan.
In 2015, the company introduced LATAS, the Low Altitude Tracking and Avoidance System. LATAS was designed to provide flight planning, tracking, and avoidance for every drone in the sky using real-time flight data transmission based on existing worldwide cellular networks. PrecisionHawk researched and developed LATAS to show that integrating drones into the National Airspace (NAS) could be done safely, which would enable broad drone operations.
These new patent awards are the latest in PrecisionHawk’s long history of UAS innovations. The value of drones is on display across industries, including search and rescue, infrastructure inspection and analysis, and delivery of life-saving medicines and essentials. In order to realize the humanitarian and economic benefits of drone technology in a safe and secure manner, a robust, automated UTM system must be in place to handle the expected traffic with remote identification to identify UAS. The manned air traffic control system will not be able to scale to meet the needs of UAS operations and the burgeoning urban air mobility (UAM) industry. PrecisionHawk’s latest patents will contribute to the efforts to bring a safe, secure UAS traffic control system online.

Gibson's training and data acquisition as science-pilot on the last Skylab mission were in the areas of solar physics, comet observations, stellar observations, earth resources studies, space medicine and physiology, and flight surgeon activities.
He has logged more than 4,300 hours flying time, including 2,270 hours in jet aircraft.
He served as a member of the astronaut support crew and as a capcom for the Apollo 12 lunar landing. He has also participated in the design and testing of many elements of the Skylab space station.
Dr. Gibson was the science-pilot of Skylab 4 (third and final manned visit to the Skylab space station), launched November 16, 1973, and concluded February 8, 1974. This was the longest manned flight (84 days 1 hour 15 minutes) in the history of manned space exploration to date. Dr. Gibson was accompanied on the record-setting 34.5 million mile flight by Gerald P. Carr (commander) and William R. Pogue (pilot). They successfully completed 56 experiments, 26 science demonstrations, 15 subsystem detailed objectives, and 13 student investigations during their 1,214 revolutions of the earth. They also acquired a wide variety of earth resources observations data using Skylab's earth resources experiment package camera and sensor array. Dr. Gibson was the crewman primarily responsible for the 338 hours of Apollo Telescope Mount operation which made extensive observations of solar processes.
Until March 1978, Dr. Gibson and his Skylab-4 teammates held the world record for individual time in space: 2,017 hours 15 minutes 32 seconds; 15 hours and 17 minutes of which Dr. Gibson logged in three EVAs outside the orbital workshop.
Gibson resigned from NASA in December 1974 to do research on Skylab solar physics data as a senior staff scientist with the Aerospace Corporation of Los Angeles, California. Beginning in March 1976, he served for one year as a consultant to ERNO Raumfahrttechnik GmbH in West Germany on Spacelab design under the sponsorship of a U. S. Senior Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. In March 1977, Dr. Gibson returned to the Astronaut Office astronaut candidate selection and training as chief of the scientist-astronaut candidates. | aerospace |
