“A lot of relief material has reached the Kathmandu airport but it is not going out which has resulted in a stockpile. The airport is anyhow small, so there is lot of congestion,” a senior official from the defence ministry said.
“In addition, there were lot of other flights landing from different countries, so there was congestion,” the source said.
The official added that the flights will now land there after midnight.
“We are looking at a slot after mid-night to land these aircraft,” the source said.
Four Indian Air Force flights, two C-17s carrying communication equipment and water, one C-130J and one IL-76 carrying NDRF teams that flew to Kathmandu on Monday had to return to Delhi due to congestion at Kathmandu airport.
“IAF reschedules its relief planes for Nepal to low density time to avoid congestion at Kathmandu,” Defence Ministry spokesperson Sitanshu Kar tweeted. | aerospace |

It’s also an industry that has historically led technological advancements for manufacturing, transportation, and other sectors. Aircraft manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to make planes lighter, stronger and more fuel efficient than ever before. The chopped carbon fiber is emerging as a material of choice for aerospace applications because it offers greater strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum—carbon fiber has 20x higher tensile strength than steel! In this article I’ll discuss how chopped carbon fiber is used in aircraft construction and what makes it such an attractive alternative to traditional materials like aluminum alloy sheeting or galvanized steel sheeting.
In a world where fuel costs are on the rise and climate change is a growing concern, strict federal regulations on fuel usage and efficiency have become increasingly important. These regulations are driving development for the aerospace market, too. Aircraft that use carbon fiber parts instead of metal ones can cut down on total weight, which in turn means less fuel consumption.
In addition to being lighter than metal, carbon fiber composites are also stronger than aluminum or titanium (and even some steel). Because it can be molded into complex shapes without losing strength, this type of composite is ideal for making parts like brackets and frames that would otherwise be too heavy if made from other materials.
Chopped carbon fiber makes up the majority of composite material used in aircraft construction.
Chopped carbon fiber makes up the majority of composite material used in aircraft construction. It’s stronger than aluminum, lighter, and more resistant to corrosion. The downside is that it costs more than aluminum.
Carbon fiber has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum.
“Carbon fiber has a much higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum,” says Dr. John Mendeleev, an aerospace engineer at the University of Southern California. “It’s also stronger and more durable.”
These properties have made carbon fiber an obvious choice for aerospace engineers, who have been using the material since the early 1990s. Today, it’s used in everything from airplane wings to spacecraft structures—and with good reason: Compared to other materials like steel or titanium alloys (which are commonly used in aerospace applications), carbon fiber is lighter yet just as strong—even up to temperatures of 2400° Celsius (4500° Fahrenheit).
Composite materials also offer better corrosion resistance compared to aluminum.
Carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, and it has a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Composite materials also offer better corrosion resistance compared to aluminum. The use of carbon fiber in aircraft structures is essential to reduce the weight of the aircraft, thus improving its fuel efficiency.
Chopped carbon fiber is the future of aircraft construction. It offers the same strength-to-weight ratio as aluminum but with better corrosion resistance and lower fuel consumption. In addition, chopped carbon fiber has a much larger range of application than aluminum because it can be molded into virtually any shape or size needed for specific applications like supercars or aircraft bodies without affecting performance characteristics such as stiffness, strength or density. Chopped carbon fiber also provides an opportunity for manufacturers to reduce their weight while increasing efficiency by using less material while still maintaining structural integrity at higher speeds than ever before possible before this breakthrough technology was developed! | aerospace |

By Ned Rozell
On December 15, 1989, a pilot who had flown a 747 passenger jet all the way from Amsterdam was looking forward to landing in Anchorage. There, he would take a short break before continuing to Tokyo.
Descending over Southcentral Alaska, he and his copilot saw what looked like an inky storm cloud ahead. Flying into it, the pilot powered up the four engines in an attempt to climb to clear sky. What happened next changed how we monitor volcanoes all over the world, and made the Alaska Volcano Observatory what it is today.
On that December morning 30 years ago, volcanic ash from Mount Redoubt melted inside all four jet engines of that 747. The ash cooled, coating the engines with glass and restricting air flow. The engines responded by shutting down.
Powerless, the plane dropped more than two miles, heading for the Talkeetna Mountains. Their visibility restricted by the ash-scoured windscreen, the pilot and copilot tried restarting the engines six or seven times.
After eight minutes, two engines coughed to life at 17,500 feet, allowing the pilots to level the aircraft. At, 13,300 feet, as the mountains got closer, the glassy engine-coating cooled and shattered into crystals, falling away. The other two engines started. The pilots turned the reborn aircraft and landed in Anchorage.
All 231 passengers aboard reported no injuries. But some vowed never to fly again, after the next available set of planes carried them home.
Tilly Barella was a passenger on the 747 that flew through the Mount Redoubt ash cloud in 1989. She lived in Holland, and was on her way to a vacation in Japan. Anchorage Times reporter Todd Bensman interviewed her at the airport the next morning.
“The air went dark through the window, and the engines stopped, and the lights went out. It was dark all over. It was so dark,” Barella said. “And then we just fell, and I knew that was the last minute of my life.”
That terrifying eight minutes was a turning point for volcano research all over the world, and especially in Alaska. Though volcanic ash clouds had previously disabled a jet aircraft in Indonesia, the near-tragedy of KLM Flight 867 happened over America, in U.S. airspace peppered with volcanoes.
An immediate beneficiary of the flight’s near miss was the fledgling Alaska Volcano Observatory, formed a year before to help monitor the dozens of volcanoes in Alaska. The observatory is a team of scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey, UAF’s Geophysical Institute and the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys.
“[AVO’s] budget went from 500K [per year] to 6 million almost overnight,” said John Power, former head of the observatory who now has the title of USGS research geophysicist.
“Before Redoubt, we were monitoring four volcanoes close to Anchorage. Now, we’re monitoring 32 volcanoes in Alaska with instruments in the ground, and we track activity at others with satellites and infrasound.”
Thirty years ago, Power was one of the first employees of the observatory, working in Fairbanks at the Geophysical Institute. He was among several people who noticed Redoubt shaking with dozens of small earthquakes in the days before the eruption.
“It really came out of nowhere,” said Power, who spent many hours watching the jumpy seismometers scientists had installed on the volcano’s flanks just one year earlier.
Power and his colleagues issued a warning on a faxed sheet, one that the Dutch pilots did not see as they readied for their flight over the top of the world. The warning system in place today was a direct result of the 1989-1990 Redoubt eruption.
“The aviation color code (yellow for elevated unrest, red for an ash-spewing eruption) was developed on the fly during the Redoubt eruption,” Power said.
USGS volcanologist Tom Casadevall traveled from Denver to Anchorage to monitor Redoubt’s gas emissions as the eruption was going on. When he arrived at Anchorage International Airport, Casadevall saw the KLM aircraft sitting idle on a taxiway. In that era of lesser security, Casadevall drove out to the plane and met two engineers, one from General Electric and one from Boeing.
The men were supervising the removal of two of the engines they would ship back to GE, to find out precisely what had happened. Casadevall became interested in how solid silicate particles spewed by the volcano had shut down the jet engines. He became a student and teacher of the hazards of volcanic ash, later becoming one of a few scientists to spread the message.
“The lessons we learned from Redoubt, we took around the world,” he said.
The eruption also resulted in collaboration between government entities like the Federal Aviation Administration and National Weather Service, and pilot training that included what not to do (make engines hotter by powering up) when encountering an ash cloud.
“The pilots didn’t understand what to do when flying a jet into an ash cloud,” Power said. “We hope the same thing would not happen today.”
Redoubt, the 10,000-foot volcano 60 miles west of Kenai across Cook Inlet, erupted for half a year, from December 1989 to May 1990. Redoubt also erupted 10 years ago, in March and April of 2009, sending up dark clouds of ash through which no pilot flew.

The plane, in many incarnations, served throughout World War II. I am currently building one in 3ds Max, based on the early versions of the plane. The early versions, especially the Mk I, were the planes that fought the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) during the Battle of Britain in 1940. Other versions were developed during the war with many body modifications, such as clipped rather then elliptical wings and bubble cockpits, and improved engines.
This is a render of what I have completed so far. I have the basic shapes, such as the wings and fuselage, completed. The next area of focus will be the cockpit window area before I begin work on the final detailing and texturing.
UPDATE-March 22, 2011
The fuselage had problems around the cockpit area. The problem was that the angle of the sides of the plane were too sharp and triangular. I have made the adjustments and the fuselage is looks much better. I will post new pictures shortly | aerospace |

It’s the story of a triangle flight of 1.300 km in the Alps. You need to start from an airport and to return to the same airport after 1.300 km turning around two pylons forming a very long triangle.
Having only 10 hours to flight (Landing means you have lost the record) you need a very fast flight and in the Alps the meteorological conditions are very difficolt. Only few pilots have succeded this performance.
The original flight hasn’t been filmed so we decided to remake a new flight following the same route. The “record” has been filmed using 4 different airplanes: a Pilatus Porter ( to pull up the glider and to film it trough the lateral window) a Morane Saulnier ( to film the glider down-up trough the sliding transparent cover) and a Piper Cub ( the only one able to fly very slowly to stay close to the glider in the mountain. The last airplane was a Cessna 185 to film the POVs. | aerospace |

According to Kapoor, AOP permission will be granted by the end of April. “We're approaching the end of a very difficult, lengthy, and strict process. We want to double-check that everything is in order. After receiving the Air Operator Permit (AOP), we anticipate to be able to resume operations in a few months. Our goal is to fly by October, perhaps sooner, but it will take a few months for us to be ready to fly again," he added.
He went on to say, "We have a team of 200 people working just on putting Jet back in the air."
For the purpose of demonstrating flight, Kapoor said that the Jet 2.0 will employ a Boeing 737 Next Generation (737NG), a narrow-body type aircraft powered by two jet engines. Following that, once the airline resumes full-fledged operations, all alternatives are on the table, according to the CEO.
“For the purpose of ‘proving flight AOC’, we will be using 737 NG, it is the most logical thing to do as we used to fly it before, we have the pilots, the training facilities,” he added.
As early as this month, Jet Airways will begin conducting proving flights for safety testing with no passengers on board. The permission will allow the airline's new owners, Dubai-based billionaire Murali Lal Jalan and Florian Fritsch, chairman of London-based asset firm Kalrock Capita, to increase their investment and negotiate landing and parking slots with airports. | aerospace |

The design, based on the company’s 7X, offers the longest range of any Falcon jet, up to 6,450 nautical miles, and the biggest cabin, almost 43 feet long. “Feedback from the operational trials — cabin comfort, air conditioning, and in particular cabin noise — was excellent,” said Olivier Villa, senior vice president at Dassault Aviation Civil Aircraft. “Moreover, new innovations in aircraft insulation will allow us to further lower cabin noise compared to the Falcon 7X, currently the quietest aircraft in the industry.”
Dassault also is working to gain approval for its own “FalconEye” head-up display for the cockpit, which uses a blend of synthetic and enhanced vision systems. Approval for the HUD system is expected by the end of next year. Twelve jets already are in cabin outfitting at Dassault’s completion facility in Little Rock, Arkansas, the company said. The jet is powered by three P&W Canada engines, and flies at a top speed of 370 knots. The 8X sells for about $58 million. Courtesy of AVweb. | aerospace |

And now you have to see the work of Jin-Woo Prensena, who captures 100-megapixel aerial images of Los Angeles and beyond with a Phase One XF medium-format camera, shooting from a helicopter.
Prensena’s enthusiasm for aerial photography was born as a result of his friendship with helicopter pilot Aaron Fitzgerald. The pair work in unison to grab the shots; using a harness for support, Prensena hangs out the side of the helicopter to shoot images from directly above, while Fitzgerald navigates the chopper.
Naturally, there are a number of obstacles for such extreme shooting conditions. Most obviously, the heavy winds that come with shooting while traveling outdoors at such a height make his eyes water quite intensely. Prensena says it’s impossible to hear his camera’s shutter.
Such high megapixel count means that even while shooting at 7,500 feet, the images can still be printed in high resolution to a size of up to 58 by 103 inches. He says the images become inevitable conversation topics for his clients, which means business spreads strongly through word of mouth. Similar to the stealth bomber photo, he even managed to capture a plane from above.
The pair even managed to grab some footage of them at work. Watch below:

Robinson R22 Beta (Helicopter) C-GVAR
Toronto / Buttonville Municipal Airport,
Ontario, 10 nm NW
04 April 2001
The Robinson R22 Beta helicopter, serial number 2110, with an instructor and one student pilot on board, was on a day visual flight rules training flight 20 nautical miles north of the Toronto / Buttonville Municipal Airport, Ontario. After 45 minutes of practicing autorotations, the student was flying the helicopter back to the airport. At 1700 feet above ground level, the instructor simulated an engine failure. The student selected a field and executed a forced approach. At 40 feet above ground level, he began to flare the helicopter by moving the cyclic aft. As the descent continued, the helicopter was approaching tall trees at the end of the field, and the student pulled up hard on the collective. At that time, the instructor opened the throttle to initiate a recovery; however, the engine rotor rpm was low, and the engine did not respond. The descent could not be arrested, and the aircraft struck the ground. The tip of the left skid dug into the semi-frozen ground, and the helicopter pivoted forward onto its right side. Both pilots evacuated through the left door of the aircraft. Neither pilot was injured, although the helicopter was substantially damaged. The accident occurred at 1040 eastern daylight time.

Other Factual Information
The Robinson R22 Beta helicopter, manufactured in 1992, had accumulated 4699 hours. The helicopter was equipped for visual flight rules operations, and the operator used it mainly as a primary, rotary-wing trainer. Records indicate the helicopter was equipped, maintained, and certified in accordance with existing regulations and approved procedures. There were no known defects before the flight. The aircraft's weight and centre of gravity were within approved limits.
The instructor pilot held a valid Canadian Airline Transport Pilot Helicopter licence on BH04, BH06, BH47, HU50, RH22, S350, and SK76 helicopters. He held a Class 2 instructor rating and a Group 4 instrument rating. He had accumulated over 8950 hours total of rotary wing time, of which approximately 1800 hours were on the Robinson R22 Beta. During the previous 90 days, he had flown 90 hours, including 35 hours during the previous 30 days.
The student pilot held a valid Canadian Student Pilot Helicopter permit. He had accumulated 20 hours of flying time, all on the Robinson R22 Beta. He had flown all 20 hours in the 90 days before the accident, including 10 hours during the previous 30 days.
At 1000 eastern daylight time,1 the weather at the Toronto / Buttonville Municipal Airport was reported as follows: sky clear, visibility greater than 12 statute miles, temperature 8ºC, dew point –3ºC, wind 350º true at 6 knots, and altimeter setting 30.38 inches of mercury.
Transport Canada's Helicopter Flight Training Manual, TP9982E, describes an autorotation as the condition of flight where the rotor is driven by aerodynamic forces, with no power delivered by the engine. During autorotation, the helicopter is still flying. It remains fully manoeuvrable, albeit in descending flight. The airflow is now upward through the rotor disc rather than downward as in powered flight. The value of this rate-of-descent flow from underneath the helicopter is controlled by the aircraft's airspeed. A successful autorotation requires coordinating altitude, airspeed, and main-rotor rpm. Kinetic energy from the spinning rotor disc slows and finally arrests the descent. One of the key factors affecting the amount of energy available from the main rotor is the air passing through the rotor disc. As with any aerofoil, exceeding the critical angles of attack of the blades can lead to an aerodynamic stall. Rotor rpm must therefore be maintained within acceptable parameters during the autorotation procedure.
The Robinson R22 Pilot Operating Handbook describes the recommended procedure for an autorotation as follows:
- lower collective immediately to maintain main rotor rpm and enter normal autorotation;
- establish a steady glide at approximately 65 KIAS;
- adjust collective to keep rotor rpm in the green arc;
- select landing area and if altitude permits, manoeuver so landing is into wind;
- at 40 feet agl [above ground level], begin cyclic flare to reduce rate of descent and forward airspeed; and
- at 8 feet agl, apply forward cyclic to level the ship and raise collective before touchdown to cushion the landing. Touchdown in a level attitude with the nose straight ahead.
The main-rotor blade system of the Robinson R22 helicopter is considered a "low-inertia rotor system". This term refers to the tendency for the rotor to deplete its stored energy quickly, leading to the decay of main-rotor rpm and thence an aerodynamic stall of the rotor system. The Robinson Helicopter Company issued Safety Notice SN-24 (see Appendix A-1 and A-2), "Low RPM Rotor Stall Can Be Fatal", in September 1986. The notice states that a very high percentage of accidents are caused by rotor stall due to low main-rotor rpm.
The Robinson R22 Pilot Operating Handbook states that a warning horn and an illuminated amber caution light indicate that rotor rpm is below safe limits. The horn stops and the amber caution light extinguishes when rotor rpm is increased to safe limits or the collective control is full down. The "green arc" for safe operation of main-rotor rpm is between 97% and 104%. The warning horn and the amber light activate at 97% rpm. The "danger" area on the rpm gauge is 90% rpm and is indicated by a red line. The danger of low rotor rpm leading to a main-rotor aerodynamic stall during autorotation is covered during ground school but is not required as a review item during pre-flight briefing.
When the instructor presented the student with the simulated engine failure, the student picked a less-than-desirable field. The field was uneven, with a pronounced upslope from 4º in the west to 6º in the east. The autorotational flight path of the helicopter ran in a line west to east, and numerous tall trees stood at the eastern end of the field. The instructor saw that the field was inappropriate but judged it to be safe to continue the exercise. He planned to have the student perform a power-on recovery to a hover and use the opportunity to discuss with the student why that particular field was a poor selection.
As the helicopter approached approximately 40 feet agl, the student began to pull rearward on the cyclic to begin the flare and bleed off excess airspeed. When the student saw that he was approaching the trees at the east end of the field, he began pulling up aggressively on the collective and rearward on the cyclic to avoid the trees. At that time the low-rotor-rpm warning horn sounded. The instructor opened the throttle, but the engine did not respond. At approximately 30 feet agl, the rotor rpm was below 50% and still dropping.
The helicopter contacted the ground in a level attitude with a forward speed of approximately 10 knots. The emergency locator transmitter activated automatically. It was found mounted inside the helicopter, with the switch in the ARM position and the self-contained antenna stowed. Ground scarring created by the initial impact of the helicopter skids indicated that the aircraft was heading approximately 040º magnetic. The wreckage trail was 40 m long, on a heading of 320º magnetic. The tail boom was severed by the retreating main-rotor blade and thrown 25 m north of the main crash site. The advancing main-rotor blade struck the ground as the helicopter pivoted forward and was bent to –85º. Neither main-rotor blade separated from the rotor mast. The cockpit was not structurally compromised; however, the left and right windshields and the right door window were broken. Examination of the wreckage revealed that the main rotor and the tail rotor were in a low-energy state at impact. Continuity of the drive train and flight control systems was confirmed. There was no indication of any pre-impact airframe failure or aircraft system malfunction.
The two pilots were not injured in the crash and were wearing lap belts, shoulder harnesses, and helicopter flight helmets.
The rotor of a helicopter with a low-inertia rotor system loses energy quickly as the collective is raised and the engine is not producing adequate power. Without corrective action, this leads to an aerodynamic stall of the rotor blades. As the occurrence helicopter was sinking, the upward rushing air continued to increase the angle of attack on the slowly rotating rotor blades, making recovery virtually impossible, even with the collective fully down. When the low-rotor-rpm warning horn sounded and the throttle was opened, the engine did not respond because the main rotor was fully stalled. The aerodynamic drag induced by the stalled rotor blades acted as a brake further decreasing the rotor rpm. Because of the low altitude, the pilots were unable to recover before the helicopter struck the ground.
Transport Canada's Helicopter Flight Instructor's Guide, TP4818E, outlines safety precautions for autorotation. It directs instructors that this exercise should only be practised in areas known to be safe and suitable for landing. Consideration should be given wherever possible to using an area where crash facilities are available. The guide also states a law of learning: learning can be enhanced through the use of dramatic, realistic, or unexpected things (the law of intensity). The instructor wanted to deepen the student's understanding of a poor emergency landing field; however, he allowed the exercise to continue beyond the point from which a safe recovery could be achieved.
Findings as to Causes and Contributing Factors
- During a practice autorotation, the helicopter's main-rotor rpm was allowed to drop below safe limits, leading to an aerodynamic stall of the main-rotor blades.
- The instructor pilot allowed the student pilot to conduct a practice forced approach and autorotation into a field that was inappropriate for the exercise.
Findings as to Risk
- Before the exercise, the instructor placed inadequate emphasis on the dangers of low main-rotor rpm and rotor-blade stalls.
This report concludes the Transportation Safety Board's investigation into this occurrence. Consequently, the Board authorized the release of this report on 10 April 2002.

“On Friday the Soyuz 2.1B carrier rocket with the Glonass-M spacecraft was taken to the launch pad. The blastoff will take place as scheduled, on November 28,” space forces spokesman Col. Alexei Zolotukhin said.
Monday’s launch will be second this month and the final for the Glonass project this year.
On November 4, Russia launched a Proton-M rocket carrying three Glonass navigation satellites from the Baikonur space center after the failed launch last year which destroyed three Glonass-Ms.
Glonass is Russia’s answer to the U.S. Global Positioning System, or GPS, and is designed for both military and civilian uses. Both systems allow users to determine their positions to within a few meters.
Russia currently has a total of 27 Glonass satellites in orbit, although only 23 of them are operational.
The complete Glonass grouping needs 24 functioning and 2-3 reserve satellites to operate with global coverage. | aerospace |

If you’re hunting for a camera drone for Specialist-top quality movie generating, then the Inspire System is tough to defeat at any where near to this rate.
initial human being perspective (FPV) online video streaming: does your camera drone supply a live online video stream from its onboard camera? could it be in High definition, to help you begin to see the shot as it is going to show up on movie? can you connect FPV glasses by means of an HDMI port?
That said, integrated flight planning and Manage application is A vital A part of traveling a camera drone right now. It frees the operator to aim only on capturing great camera pictures.
A drone is frequently referred to as UAV or unmanned aerial car or unmanned plane methods (UAS). In a simpler context, you are able to take into consideration it as a traveling robotic or an unmanned aircraft.
That’s mainly because our suggestions are dependant on genuine individual encounter and not influenced by an organization sending us their latest product. Ahead of I get to your drone critiques, let me to deliver you with some background: I have already been toying all-around with RC autos, boats and planes for over 28 several years. It started out with minor radio controlled vehicles again inside the 90’s and advanced to planes, boats and previously six decades, quadcopters (also referred to as drones). My target would be to present you with essentially the most truthful critiques of these days’s prime drones so that you can make an educated choice yourself (or as a present for the Blessed particular person). Every drone has become made from the ground up to serve a certain reason.
Last but not least, compared with a prosumer product, Discovering to fly and shoot utilizing knowledgeable camera drone usually takes a bit of time, for many motives:
This 6-axis quadcopter is a good snapshot of what the sooner drones seemed like—four circles in the grid pattern. It’s a small indoor-outside sort with good stabilization, the type of drone you will get away with crashing.
Its tough body allows you to choose dangers with regard to flight as it could withstand crashes. The Innovative characteristics include things like altitude keep, FPV and cell app Regulate. At 3.7V and 500mAh, its battery can certainly be termed as on the list of best batteries for its collection. It provides this contact form you with five-ten minutes of flight time. If you would like far more flight time, it is possible to remove camera and props to lessen pounds. This increases motility too.In the same way,
Camera quality is bad and grainy with the mic placed beside the motors making it unachievable to listen to everything although the drone
For best benefits exterior, operate this very little pace demon in light-weight wind problems or near ground stage, exactly where wind velocity is negligible.
Seeing the GHOST+ take off and land is fascinating, since it has retractable landing gears, which might fold up following takeoff, allowing for you to definitely shoot 360 levels of unobstructed video. Flying GHOST+ is way less complicated than flying a remote control plane or helicopter, many thanks partially on the quadcopter’s clever GPS flight controller. When a person allows go of your remote control, the GHOST+ will utilize a GPS gadget to posture alone in mid-air. The GPS unit will guide to stabilize the quadcopter from external turbulence, for example sturdy gusts of wind. The Smart GPS flight controller may also be programmed to navigate the quadcopter to specific points in the air eventually.
What helps make racing drone distinct from other buyer-oriented camera drones that they are developed for specialized drone racing occasions and purposes to take superior-high-quality video clip of landscapes, browsing contests and architectures. The most crucial plan driving them is FPV racing and consequently, the value tag that comes together with in lieu of their characteristics.
They provide you a stunning excellent 4K footage with a battery standby time of twenty minutes or more. So, For anyone who is a traveler or an experience junkie, you only don’t have to hold A further stress to history your trek or whilst jumping off a chopper. | aerospace |

About the NCC
The NOAA National Calibration Center (NCC) is under the Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR). The NCC's mission is to establish SI (International Systems of Units) traceability and reduce uncertainties for satellite measurements to ensure high quality data for numerical weather prediction, reanalysis, climate change detection, and other environmental applications. The NCC provides support to satellite programs by enforcing stricter and more widespread quality control on satellite data from the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which will improve efficiency and reduce costs as the community strives to meet the growing needs for high quality satellite data.
The NCC has the following primary technical functions:
- (a) Develop, implement, and maintain reference standards and best practices for both pre-and post-launch calibration;
- (b) Use standard references (vicarious sites, lunar and other astronomical measurements to inter-calibrate and re-calibrate all related satellite instruments;
- (c) Provide technical oversight for new instrument development and data quality assurance;
- (d) Support operational calibration to ensure their traceability to established standards;
- (e) Develop and maintain a calibration repository and archive for calibration datasets and tools; and
- (f) Validate sensor data records (or level 1b products).
In support of the calibration functions, the NCC also acts as a central point of contact for coordinating field campaigns, aircraft under-flights, and ship missions to minimize costs and improve the measurement quality via comparison with other measurements both remotely sensed and in-situ.
Acronyms: WMO - World Meteorological Organization; GSICS - Global Satellite Inter-Calibration System; CEOS - Committee on Earth Observing Satellites; GEO - Global Environmental Organization; JCSDA - Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation.
NCC is a nationally and internationally coordinated enterprise to:
- Develop advanced science expertise for satellite instrument calibration to provide cross-cutting support to operational satellite programs;
- Establish and maintain SI traceability for past, present, and future observations from NOAA satellites, reduce their measurement uncertainties, and assure data quality with best calibration practices;
- Develop, implement, and maintain the calibration reference standards and sites for satellite instrument calibration;
- Ensure data consistency, quality, interoperability, and usability from research instruments to facilitate the transition from research to operations for both national and international satellite instruments through collaboration;

- Validate sensor data records and coordinate field cal/val campaigns;
- Establish calibration configuration management, repository and archive of calibration parameter data bases, in collaboration with the data centers;
- Foster collaboration between end users, data providers, standards bodies, and instrument makers to close the gaps between user requirements, data quality, and instrument performance.
NCC Activity Plans
- The NCC will oversee the radiometric, spectral, geospatial, temporal, and inter-satellite calibration of the satellite measurements used by NOAA in operations, with the goal of achieving the best possible accuracy, precision, and long-term stability. It will leverage complementary expertise from key agencies to make satellite observations consistent, intercomparable, and traceable to national/international standards. The NCC will provide a science-based, collaborative, and integrated enterprise solution for satellite instrument calibration, from instrument specifications through pre-launch testing, to post-launch performance. The NCC will build upon and expand STAR's heritage expertise to meet the growing needs and challenges of the satellite programs.
- The NCC will provide scientific and technical calibration support to all segments of NOAA's satellite programs. For NOAA's satellite acquisition programs, such as the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) and the next generation Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-R), NCC will provide government technical oversight in the pre-launch calibration to ensure that: (1) each instrument's calibration complies with the requirements set forth in the Mission Requirement Document (MRD) and its associated Performance Operational Requirement Document (PORD); (2) the measurements are in compliance with recognized national and international standards; and (3) the programs conform to "best" calibration practices. The NCC will provide technical guidance and recommendations to the acquisition program offices to help achieve the highest quality measurements when the sensors are placed in orbit. The NCC will provide calibration support to post-launch check-out and on-orbit verification to ensure that both instrument specifications and user needs are met.
- For the operational programs, NCC will work closely with satellite operations to ensure that the calibration is traceable to national and international standards, transitioned from research to operations, and performed to support long-term monitoring of instrument performance and anomaly resolution. For the climate programs, NCC will develop advanced capabilities to achieve both operational and climate quality calibration. The NCC also will support the recalibration and reprocessing of historical data sets to improve measurement quality. The NCC will provide cross-cutting support to application scientists within STAR and NOAA's Cooperative Institutes, as well as outside organizations and users. The NCC will provide calibration support to the numerical weather prediction centers on a daily basis, in collaboration with the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA). The NCC will interface with the ground based calibration/validation programs including the Climate Reference Network, radiosonde programs, and aircraft under-flight campaigns.
- The NCC will hold or sponsor periodic workshops or meetings with participating scientists from different program segments, and key agencies including NOAA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Science and Technology (NIST), other Government agencies, and associated national and international partners to identify challenges, review progress and issues in satellite instrument calibration. | aerospace |

Well, OK. Mark Vande Hei doesn't live in Chanhassen. But his parents Tom and Mary Vande Hei do.
Last Saturday, they proudly hosted a bon voyage party. He heads to the space station on Sept. 13, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. He'll be in space for five and a half months.
Before guests arrived, Vande Hei, 50, sat down to talk about his upcoming mission.
He flies to Russia on Saturday, Aug. 12, to prepare. Then Sept. 13, he and NASA astronaut Joe Acaba, and cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, will launch to the space station aboard the Soyuz MS-06 spacecraft.
Once there, they'll participate in scientific projects and experiments, and help with the operation and maintenance of the space station. He'll be living in zero gravity, bunking in a cubby about the size of a shower stall, and enjoying the greatest view of Earth from the cupola of the space station.
Vande Hei grew up in Plymouth, and is a Benilde-St. Margaret's School graduate. As a kid, he thought that being an astronaut "was cool," Vande Hei said. "You think of astronauts being super heroes, like Superman."
He graduated from St. John's University and was commissioned in the U.S. Army through ROTC. He was assigned to Italy, and later Iraq, as a combat engineer.
The Army sent him to Stanford University for a master's of science degree. In 1999, he became an assistant professor of physics at the United States Military Academy in West Point. It was there that Vande Hei switched his focus to space operations.
After a tour of duty in Iraq, he became a space operations officer. In 2006, he reported to Johnson Space Center as a capsule communicator in the Mission Control Center Houston. In 2008, NASA started asking for astronaut applicants with military backgrounds. His boss passed him an application.
"I thought that would be amazing, but the competition is so tough."
He credits his wife, Julie, for encouraging him.
"Mark, youve got to do it, otherwise youll never know," he recalled. "Without Julie, I may never have ever gotten off couch."
He passed NASA's thorough physical and a series of interviews and psychological testing, a process that winnows applicants down to 40 or 50 individuals.
Applicants undergo a round of interviews with a panel of up to 12 or 15 engineers, astronauts, flight directors and high-level managers from both Johnson and Kennedy space centers; if you're called back, the next round of interviews takes a week.
"The first interview " Vande Hei shook his head at the memory. "They said, 'Tell us about yourself.' Fifty-nine minutes later, I realized I had talked the whole time." But he made the cut, and paced himself. "I made the second interview more conversational."
Like any competitive situation, he and the other applicants would gather during their free time, comparing notes. "What questions did they askyou? You hear all the horror stories," Vande Hei said. "You don't know what questions they'll ask."
"By convincing myself I wouldnt get the job," Vande Hei said. "I looked at it as having a deluxe tourist pass into areas of NASA no other person would have an opportunity to see. I approached it with curiosity as opposed to 'My whole life rests on this entire hour,' especially if your dream was to become an astronaut."
He sees himself as enormously fortunate. When speaking to school kids, he's a little embarrassed admitting being an astronaut wasn't his No. 1 career goal.
"I didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up," Vande Hei said. "But I kept saying yes to any opportunities that let me keep learning more."
Vande Hei was assigned to a mission in 2015, and has been in training for it ever since. He spends half his time in Russia and half in the U.S.
Training for his first flight into space has less to do with the physical effects of flight, but learning the instrument panel and controls that get you to the space station. Astronauts train in a space craft mock-up with full-scale models of the interior. Space walks are practiced underwater.
Astronauts conduct all types of science experiments during their time aboard the space station, using themselves as subjects for blood draws, muscle and bone density tests, and other physiological studies.
And they are trained as medics, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, and any other skill set necessary to ensure a well-run and maintained workshop and living quarters in the isolation of space. Vande Hei said they even learn dental procedures in the event an astronaut has a dental emergency.
It's a multi-team effort as all the training drills include the ground control team. "The space station is really flown by the ground crew," Vande Hei said, "and they become more and more important the farther we get from earth." Drills test not only the astronauts but even more crucially, mission control.
Earlier this year, Vande Hei had a raffle at his alma mater Benilde-St. Margaret's. He'll take the two winners' high school ID badges up to the space station with him, giving them bragging rights when he returns them in 2018. He plans on taking family photos with him that he'll shoot selfies with. And, of course, he'll have his wedding ring.

The Columbia accident took place on February 1, 2003, ending in the loss of all seven crewmembers. This video discussion of Columbia was recorded at Johnson Space Center in Houston on January 30, 2018, with Brian Kelly, Wayne Hale, Michael Leinbach, Mark Kirasich, Kathy Lueders and Pat Forrester. The panel discusses what was learned from the recovery and reconstruction in regards to improving crew survivability. These lessons are being applied on spacecraft that are being flown and developed today to make spaceflight safer for astronauts. Please watch the entire video to learn about all of the lessons that came from this content-rich discussion.
Some video key learning points from the Columbia accident discussion:
Try to publish and share what you learned from the accident so that people can learn from what went wrong and try to design safer spacecraft.
Keep an atmosphere of open communication, and be open to learning from any investigative reports no matter how painful they may be. An independent report might bring out flaws that are not detected by individuals inside the program.
Organizational lessons: Have strong technical authorities that raise and review risks. Allow and examine all dissenting opinions concerning risk. Have mitigation plans to lower risk.
Build dissimilar redundancy into your navigations systems so that you have viable options if some of these systems fail to work properly.
Plan and design safety features based on the length of time the spacecraft would be from Earth.
Make sure the astronaut suits are integrated into the design of the spacecraft for increased safety.
Examine various types of landings the spacecraft might have to make and determine how safely the spacecraft performs in each of these landing scenarios.
Make sure to share important lessons with contractors on the team.
Require contractors to provide a crew survivability assessment of their systems.
Continue to emphasize having astronaut involvement in the design of spacecraft system displays and software so they are as knowledgeable as possible in case of an emergency situation. | aerospace |

In a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, Florida State Professor Michael Delp and Russian colleagues Olga Tarasova and Olga Vinogradova delve into the complications that occur when humans travel to space and spend weeks to months in a weightless environment.
In recent years, NASA has become interested in investigating vision problems observed in astronauts returning from space. On shorter trips, astronauts have often experienced minor vision changes that eventually self-correct. But longer visits to space have caused more substantial issues.
“What has happened is we’ve become much more aware of medical problems humans can face when staying in space for extended periods of time,” said Delp, who also serves as dean of the College of Human Sciences. “Astronauts are willing to make sacrifices of their body in order to go into space, but few are willing to compromise their vision.”
For NASA, the issue is a top research priority, and a number of scientists around the world are working to solve the problem.
Delp, a physiologist who studies the effects of microgravity on the cardiovascular system, began working on the issue of what happens to the body when people travel to space several years ago. To further the work, he and a group of researchers at the Russian Academy of Sciences who were studying similar issues formed a partnership.
The Russian Federal Space Agency, with the help of NASA, assembled an international team of researchers to study mice sent into space for 30 days on a Russian satellite, the Bion-M1.
When the satellite returned to Earth, the mice were whisked by ambulance to laboratories at the Institute for Biomedical Problems in Moscow, where the research team hunkered down for hours, investigating arteries that control blood flow to muscle, skin and the brain of the small creatures.
They soon discovered that the brain held the most interesting responses to the spaceflight.
“Without gravity pulling body fluids down toward the feet, fluid will rise toward the brain,” Delp said. “When spaceflight alters the function of arteries that precisely regulate blood flow to the brain, it could severely affect many things, including vision.”
The issue remains how to solve that problem.Delp and his Russian colleagues are already setting the stage for future experiments that may yield more answers and possible solutions. In May, another group of mice will be sent to the International Space Station for observation.
“It’s truly been a remarkable collaboration,” Delp said. “The Russian scientists are unbelievable partners.”
Funding for the research was provided by NASA, the National Institutes of Health, the Russian Federal Space Agency, the Russian Academy of Sciences and M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University Program of Development.
Florida State Professor of Biomedical Sciences Judy Delp contributed to the paper, as did Kansas State University Associate Professor Brad Behnke, who previously studied with Michael Delp at the University of Florida. Other co-authors are Delp’s former students John N. Stabley, Danielle J. McCullough, Joshua J. Maraj and Mina Hanna. In addition to Tarasova and Vinogradova, the Russian team consisted of Svetlana Sofronova, Dina Gaynullina and Anna Borzykh. | aerospace |

It was also the first time SpaceX managed to land all three rocket boosters after launch.
The rocket took off Thursday from Kennedy Space Center in Florida just after 6 pm ET. It delivered a pricey communications satellite into orbit for Saudi Arabia-based firm Arabsat.
For the first time ever, all three Falcon Heavy rocket boosters returned to Earth after launch: The two side-boosters landed simultaneously on ground pads in Florida, while the center core landed on a remote-controlled platform in the ocean a short time later.

Matthew McConaughey, a talented actor and devoted husband, was horrified after the incident in which his wife Camila Alves was involved. She was flying on a Lufthansa plane from Austin to Frankfurt when unexpected problems arose in the air that almost caused a disaster.
While flying over Tennessee, the plane hit an air pocket, after which it plummeted down more than a kilometer, where an area of very strong turbulence began. Passengers claimed that the plane itself almost fell apart in the air. The general public was informed that the plane was forced to make an emergency landing.
Camila Alves shared a video of what was happening during the flight. The picture was actually frightening: things were scattered everywhere, even from the video it was clear that the situation was critical.
According to eyewitnesses, the force almost caused the plane to disintegrate in the air. Fortunately, the plane made an emergency landing, but it was quite a difficult task. All passengers are alive, but seven of them needed to be taken to the hospital. | aerospace |

She’d put herself through university, flight school, and all her multi-engine, instrument, instructor, and commercial ratings by working several jobs. She was confident she would have a successful career flying jets for an international carrier.
In 1993 what Michele Halleran wanted was adventure, so she started out flying DC-3s for Four Star Air Cargo out of San Juan, Puerto Rico. A few months later, when seaplane operators caught her eye, she grabbed a jump seat one day to Winter Haven, Florida, learning how to taxi on the water at Jack Brown Seaplane Base and earning her ratings on a STOL UC-1 Twin Bee in a single weekend.
But something wasn’t right.
At Four Star Aviation, as the “only woman pilot in the Caribbean within a thousand-mile radius,” she says, she was excluded from crew apartments and wasn’t allowed to fly at night, reducing her hours and salary. Dissatisfied, she moved on to a major seaplane company for three years, certifying on a DHC-6 Twin Otter in Toronto, flying passengers back and forth from Ketchikan, Alaska in summer and St. Thomas in winter. But one day Halleran discovered that a male first officer with less seniority and fewer flight hours was being paid a higher salary than she. She wanted to know why. “Because he’s supporting a wife and child,” the chief pilot told her. When Halleran protested, arguing that her family obligations and expenses were just as substantial, her raise was refused.
“I’ve been discriminated against in every pilot job I’ve had,” says Halleran, now a professor of aeronautical science and a director of diversity initiatives at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s College of Aviation in Daytona Beach, Florida.
“Discrimination,” in Halleran’s experience, encompasses everything from salary inequity and diminished opportunities to persistent derogatory comments by passengers and crew to outright sexual harassment. In early 2001, when Halleran finally achieved her dream of flying DC-10s and 767s for Hawaiian Airlines, a captain in the cockpit said he’d order her meal because—as the first officer explained—if the flight attendants knew they were serving food for her, they would spit in it. Halleran was shocked. “Why?” she asked.
“Because you’re a woman,” the first officer said.
Two months later, a chief flight attendant put this in perspective for Halleran: “None of the flight attendants like you because they compete with you. They want to marry the pilots and you’re up there with them, so you’re the competition.”
Halleran was furloughed twice by Hawaiian Airlines; first, for six months after the September 11 terrorist attacks, then again in 2003—for five years. After that, she’d had enough of the airlines.
Today, Halleran spends her days at Embry-Riddle (ERAU) teaching advanced jet flying, recruiting high schoolers, and mentoring an emerging class of female pilots—about 14.4 percent of the total ERAU piloting class, an increase of eight percent since she started in 2004. She’s hoping to help female cadets avoid the sexism she experienced, and she’s optimistic the next generation will have it better. But she knows they will still be working in a profession and a culture that is far less welcoming to women than it is to men.
Some of the reasons for this lag are difficult to measure. Stereotyping and misogyny can’t be quantified, nor can the reluctance in some quarters to nurture young girls’ interest in flying or aviation engineering and mechanics. These factors, along with more easily identified airline policy decisions related to scheduling, child-bearing, and maternity leave have kept the numbers of U.S. women aviators in commercial jobs stubbornly low. Another contributor is that most flight instructors are men.
“We’re looking at an increase in female pilots of about one percent in the last decade. Essentially, we’ve remained stagnant,” said Rebecca Lutte, Ph.D., an associate professor of aviation policy at University of Nebraska Omaha Aviation Institute. Those numbers have refused to budge despite expanded educational opportunity, more aviation scholarships, efforts by major airlines to offer fast-track cadet academies to encourage women and minorities to apply and train, even what Lutte calls “an enhanced environment” of encouragement for women in STEM professions and collegiate flight programs.
Women commercial pilots today constitute only 5.14 percent of the active airline pilot workforce in the United States, according to statistics from the International Society of Women Airline Pilots (ISA). Female airline captains in North America number a paltry 1.38 percent. Fewer than 150 Black women pilots hold Airline Transport Pilot (ATP), commercial, military, or certified flight instructor licenses, according to Sisters of the Skies, Inc., a predominantly Black women pilots’ association.
Among Asian-Americans, the numbers are even worse. For Hispanic or Latino women, one estimate based on U.S. Department of Labor statistics puts certified female ATPs at 560 nationwide. Though female executives and CEOs in U.S. aerospace and defense corporations have ticked up to 19 percent, globally (versus five percent in all other industries) female CEOs at airlines remain a mere three percent.
The United States lags behind many other countries in the number of women airline pilots—even behind countries that some observers might perceive as less welcoming of professional women overall. In India, women pilots now constitute 12.4 percent of the commercial airline workforce, and female captains number more than 10 percent. Both female enthusiasm for flying and participation are climbing exponentially.
“For First Officers in India who are only required to have 250 hours of flight experience to join a commercial airline, the pay is maybe three to five times what they would get in other careers,” said Sushil Bajpai, an FAA certified commercial pilot. “But in America, after 1,500 hours as a flight instructor, which is not well paid, women can happily find a better job elsewhere.”
Bajpai alludes to the Colgan Air crash of 2009 and the ensuing changes to FAA regulation put into effect in 2013 that ended the opportunity for low-time pilots to obtain ATP certification and right seats on a commercial carrier. While intended to produce more experienced and capable pilots, the new requirement of 1,500 flight hours for First Officers who previously needed only 250 flight hours created new problems. The higher costs associated with the longer training period created a cohort of flight instructors arguably more focused on accumulating hours of their own—as a qualification to fly for the regionals—than on nurturing their students.
A lopsided workforce today perpetuates lopsidedness. “I can still count on my hands how many female captains I’ve flown with,” said Deborah Hecker, the chief pilot for American Airlines in Dallas who has flown for the carrier since 1999. “It seems [women pilots] are more visible than ever, and the industry has changed a lot over 30 years. But the percentages of pilots and engineers still aren’t changing.”
Flying moms go to court
Two class-action lawsuits filed in December 2019 against Frontier Airlines demonstrate how the industry’s barriers to entry overlap. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), along with ACLU Colorado and the law firm Holwell Shuster & Goldberg, LLP filed the lawsuits: one on behalf of four women pilots; the other, for four flight attendants at Frontier, alleging the carrier had systematically denied employees accommodations for pregnancy and breastfeeding. The lawsuits further claimed that the airline’s policies had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, by forcing pregnant employees into unpaid leave at 32 weeks, while pilots temporarily unable to fly because of other medical conditions were reassigned to ground duties. Both groups said their requests for private and sanitary accommodations for nursing were ignored or denied and that the airline had banned pumping while on duty. Theirs was the first lawsuit of its kind filed against a U.S. airline.
Frontier has vigorously denied the allegations. But it was not the first time female pilots have made demands related to pregnancy, lactation, and unpaid leave. In 2016, for example, Delta pilots successfully lobbied their mostly male union to support paid maternity leave.
Today, American, Delta, and Alaska Airlines all offer employees up to a year of guaranteed maternity leave, with various combinations of paid and unpaid benefits, part of a trend toward liberalizing work-family policies. United offers guaranteed postpartum leave up to nine months, some of the weeks paid, and Southwest gives roughly seven weeks of paid maternity leave and 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Regional carriers’ pregnancy and maternity policies vary widely.
“Seniority is everything for pilots as far as scheduling and vacations go, even just being able to stay home for a significant period of time,” said Stephanie Brown Grant, a pilot with ExpressJet for 12 years and development director for Sisters of the Skies. Grant was able to arrange guaranteed leave from the company for 18 months for each of her two children, now five and eight years old. “I have a huge sense of loyalty to ExpressJet,” she acknowledges. “I could have gone elsewhere [earlier], but for me the company is like family when I needed them most.”
ExpressJet, partially owned by United, also has the most women of color working as pilots and, as of June 2020, had more women captains of color than any other regional airline, Grant points out, though the Covid-19 crisis recently has necessitated some staffing changes that may threaten that.
Yet work-family balance remains a challenge that burdens women pilots disproportionately. Twenty years ago, had it not been for Southwest’s comparatively flexible scheduling policies, Captain Tammie Jo Shults might have given up a storied pilot’s career. Shults, a former Navy T-2 Buckeye flight instructor and one of the first women to qualify in the F/A-18 Hornet, safely brought down a Boeing 737-700 in April 2018 when the aircraft lost an engine at 32,000 feet and sustained a rapid depressurization. In her 2019 memoir Nerves of Steel, she reflected on the challenges she has faced as a woman in a profession dominated by men.
“If I hadn’t happened to get hired by Southwest, I probably would have quit flying once we started a family,” Shults says. Her husband is also a pilot for Southwest. When they started their family, the couple availed themselves of their employer’s flight-trading system to coordinate their schedules. “I think that family-work balance is one of the big issues for women going into aviation and staying there.”
It isn’t mere altruism that is motivating at least some airlines to try to narrow the gender and diversity gaps. At least prior to the Covid-19 crisis, demand for every type of air travel was expanding rapidly. In 2018, Boeing projected the industry will need as many as 790,000 new pilots by 2037 worldwide along with 754,000 new aviation technicians. Airbus was more conservative, projecting 450,000 new pilot vacancies by 2035—still a difference between supply and demand that appears large enough to remain even if the pandemic substantially reduces passenger air travel.
There are at least 126 collegiate-level flight-training schools in the United States, and nearly all of them have initiatives to boost pilot enrollment. One strategy is the airline-sponsored, fast-track cadet academy that eliminates many of the uncertainties en route to commercial and ATP ratings.
Indiana–based Republic Airways, for example, started its own academy: LIFT (for Leadership in Flight Training) offers applicants with at least a high school diploma the chance to test and train for commercial airline certification with a “preferred pathway” to a job upon graduation.
The target training period is under 36 months, and while tuition is $85,000, Republic kicks in $20,000 to qualified applicants while providing guaranteed loans of $15,000 once students achieve certified flight instructor (CFI) status. If they fly for Republic for five years, the airline forgives the loan.
Southwest Airlines’ program, called Destination 225, offers several pathways to a career in the cockpit through CAE, the flight school, along with partner university aviation programs. Delta Air Lines has its signature Propel Pilot Career Path program which enables employees—especially flight attendants and ground crew—to get as much as five years’ leave and $75,000 in Wells Fargo student loans to train at accredited flight academies.
“You’d be amazed at how many flight attendants want to be pilots,” said Beth Poole, Delta’s general manager of pilot development. Poole, a 31-year Delta veteran who transitioned from crew resource management and flight operations to pilot development, organized focus groups at Delta to find out why so many women and men weren’t pursuing their passion to fly. “It came down to finances and being afraid of leaving their jobs,” she says.
Focus sessions with 540 college students at 23 accredited universities with flight programs revealed another surprise: disgruntlement over flight instructors. “The CFIs were leaving programs as soon as they hit their requisite hours [to fly the regionals],” she said. A number of accredited training programs now require CFIs to stay until the end of a semester, relieving students’ anxiety that they’ll show up for a training flight to discover their instructor has disappeared.
Scholarships, loans, and combination study-work programs to support women are increasing, as are student enrollments—about 12 percent of them women—in aviation programs approved by an international accreditation board. Organizations like Women in Aviation International (WAI) have distributed more than $12 million in flight training scholarships in the last two decades, according to Lutte. Sisters of the Skies, through the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals, holds gala events every year to raise tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships for aspiring young African-American pilots. And regional airlines like Piedmont now offer sign-on bonuses to college students who commit to right seat jobs after their CFI completions.
Jennifer Byrne, a First Officer at American Airlines and a communications committee member of the Allied Pilots Association, earned her commercial, multi-engine, and single-engine CFI ratings at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. She then flew C-17s as an Air Force Reservist, which helped to make her training more affordable.
Today, she’s part of an encouraging trend for female aviators. From January 2010 to January 2020, the Department of Defense saw a 31.9 percent increase in female pilots, from 2,492 to 3,297, despite a 9.6 percent decrease in the total number of pilots overall.
The increase may be a bellwether; it also supports the belief that women who are serious about flying need help to pay for it. Byrne acknowledges the Air Force was tough—and yes, there was occasional harassment and unwanted advances. “I had to be a better pilot because I was one of three [women in] a squadron of 80 men,” she says.
Byrne wonders whether many women quit flight training because they are subject to constant criticism too early on. “I was lucky because I had a female flight instructor. She was really tough on me, but there was no bias there,” she says.
Studies cited by Stephen Rice, an aviation human factors professor at Embry-Riddle, “show that female pilots are more negatively judged for their errors, and they are also disparaged for being unable to take criticism from flight instructors,” according to an essay he wrote in Forbes.
Elan Head, helicopter CFI and editorial director for Vertical magazine, points out why Rice’s research explains the difference between success and failure. “A flight instructor may be more likely to perceive male students as ready to solo or check ride. But an extra 10 hours may break [a woman’s] budget. An equally competent male student may have gone through a program a little faster; whereas, a woman will be further behind and deeper in debt.” Head says she is not aware of studies that have measured training time by gender. “But I think now with hindsight that I certainly experienced this, and I’m not even sure my instructors were aware of it.”
Aviation is one of those rare professions—medicine is another—that must be passed on from one person to another. A flight instructor is a gatekeeper; a student advances only if the instructor says so. One bad instructor can end a career.
“I’ve had flight instructors who really made me feel sour about flying,” said Shaesta Waiz, the first Afghan-American certified woman pilot, who flew around the world in 2017 to promote STEM education on behalf of her Dreams Soar foundation. “As soon as the instructors get their hours, they’re out of there.”
Peg Ballou and Mary Latimer have overcome sexism in flight instruction by each founding her own flight academy. Ballou, an AOPA Distinguished Instructor in 2019, is head of Ballou Skies Aviation in Central Ohio. Latimer heads GIFT, Girls in Flight Training, an academy in Vernon, Texas. It offers week-long intensive courses for women at all levels.
Latimer confirms that in general, women’s training takes longer. “It shouldn’t cost more for a woman than a man but it typically does,” she said. “If you encounter the harassment, you have to move to another school and that increases your costs. I’ve known women pilots who’ve gone to three or four schools. It’s insane—and every time you have to move on, you lose a certain amount of traction.” She says at least a third of her female students have reported inappropriate touching by their instructors, while another third say they’ve been made to feel stupid or disrespected. “I can recognize when a [woman] student’s skill level exceeds her confidence level, and I can work with that,” she says. That same skill-to-confidence ratio is often inverted, in her experience, with male students.
Ballou agrees women are far more likely to underestimate themselves than men. “At an airshow, I’ll talk to a guy and gal, and it’s the gal who says ‘I could never do that.’ My antidote is to tell them, ‘If I can do it, you can do it.’ ” But too few women receive that encouragement. AOPA data indicate that most women who enter flight training do not go on to become pilots. Ballou asks, “If most of the women who get a student pilot certificate never get their license, what are we doing wrong in our industry?”
Pilots Don’t Look Like Me
Nearly all the women interviewed for this story cited an absence of mentors and role models. Several also mentioned the absence of women pilots in films and television shows. “You don’t see women pilots walking around airports,” says Byrne.
“Most articles have this cheery attitude that if we only expose women to aviation, they will come,” says Head. “But we’ve done this for decades and it hasn’t made much difference.”
Anecdotal evidence is strong that the sooner girls are introduced to aviation, the better their chances of pursuing it. “It’s mostly exposure, the earlier the better,” said Embry-Riddle’s Carolina Anderson, the nation’s first female aviation Ph.D. and a self-described “airplane fanatic” who now flies to work with her two daughters, ages five and 10. Anderson, from Bogota, Colombia, the daughter of an airline pilot, mentors kids in the university’s STEM summer camps.
“For girls in STEM, you have to get them hooked early on; past 9 or 10 years, it’s too late,” says Anderson.
Beth Poole of Delta says one of the most important challenges is “changing the mindset of parents and teachers” who still think of girls in aviation as flight attendants, not pilots, mechanics, or engineers. For five years, Delta has been trying to change their minds with the splashy WING (Women Inspiring the Next Generation) program, which includes an annual flight with an all-female crew carrying 120 girls ages 12-18 for a visit to NASA and its female staffers. Delta also partners with high schools that have STEM or aviation programs; some 600 girls have participated in the WING program to date.
Even with resources like these in place, it still takes internal strength for a young woman to own the decision to fly without apology, especially if her parents disapprove. Take Hecker, for example. She describes her family as a band of classic overachievers. Her surgeon father and travel agent mother raised one daughter who became a physicist and another who became a cardiologist.
“He was mad that I became a pilot,” Hecker said. “He felt the career was very blue collar.” When Hecker told her father she’d been chosen as an American Airlines pilot—the first person in the airline’s history to qualify as both a pilot and flight attendant—he was unmoved. “That’s okay, you can still go to law school,” he told her. | aerospace |

Strickler Aerospace Education Award to James (Jim) and Angela Thompson on Thursday of last week during the monthly luncheon of the Aero Club of Washington. The award, presented by Rol Murrow, Vice President of NCASE, was in recognition of the husband and wife team for outstanding achievements in the field of aerospace education and the development of the Blue Skies Foundation and its outstanding “Aim Higher Program.”
In 1995, NCASE established the Dr. Mervin K. Strickler Jr. Award to honor Dr. Strickler and recognize individuals or organizations that share his personal commitment and lifelong contributions to aerospace education. Dr. Strickler has promoted aerospace education for more than 55 years and is considered the “father” of aerospace education.
Using the motivational force of aviation to inspire interest and learning and in teaching STEM is the basis for Blue Skies Foundation and the Aim Higher Program. The number of students reached through Jim and Angela Thompson’s efforts this year passed 1,000 and will continue to increase annually as new schools and individual students are added to the programs. (Pictured above are from left, Jim and Angela Thompson and Dr. Lee Siudzinski, Executive Director, Blue Sky Foundation.)
Piper Aircraft, Inc. recently delivered four new Archer training aircraft equipped with Garmin G500 avionics to the Malaysian Flying Academy, Malaysia.
"Our cadets are eager to begin flying these four new Piper single-engine trainers. The G500 avionics package is ideally suited to the training curriculum offered by our academy," said Captain Stephen Terry, Principal of the Malaysian Flying Academy. Earlier in 2014, the Malaysian Flying Academy took delivery of four Seminoles. The two recent deliveries are part of Malaysian Flying Academy's long-term plan to upgrade their exclusively-Piper fleet.
Bell Helicopter announced last week the Ministry of Health in Kuwait will be operating the first two Bell 429s configured for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) in the Middle East. The purchase agreement for the aircraft was announced at the end of last year, and is a milestone win for the region.
The Ministry of Health will be contracting the EMS Bell 429 through Al-Safwa Security and Defense Systems Company, with an expected delivery time of April 2015.
“This organization has been able to assemble this complex life-saving program in just a short amount of time, and we are honored to be involved in such an undertaking,” said Steve Suttles, vice president and director of Middle East and African sales. “The Bell 429 will provide the advanced support and exceptional performance they need during these demanding missions.”
Bell Helicopter announced recently it has made the first delivery of the Bell 429 Wheeled Landing Gear (WLG) in North America. The aircraft has been delivered to professional NASCAR driver and founder and CEO of SunEnergy1, Kenny Habul.
SunEnergy1 is a vertically integrated solar energy performance certificate (EPC) company based in Mooresville, N.C., that specializes in utility-scale, ground-mount projects. The Bell 429WLG will be used for corporate and VIP transportation.
“The Bell 429WLG is the perfect fit for our corporate and transportation needs,” said Habul. “After careful evaluation and conversations with the Bell Helicopter team, I chose the aircraft because of its’ exceptionally spacious cabin, excellent avionics options and impressive power and range.”
Bell Helicopter announced recently an update to the Bell Helicopter North American sales team. Effective immediately, Ron Orndoff will assume the role of Regional Sales Manager in North America, responsible for overseeing marketing and sales activities within the Northeast region.
“Ron joined the North American team just a few short months ago and has quickly made an impact in the Northeast region,” said Anthony Moreland, Bell Helicopter’s vice president of North American sales. “His experience in the aviation industry coupled with his passion for Bell Helicopter products is clearly demonstrated through his ability to deliver for our customers.” | aerospace |

The science team, led by Cui Kai, discussed the futuristic plane that would travel over five times faster than the speed of sound to soar across the globe.
An extract of the paper read: “It will take only a couple of hours to travel from Beijing to New York at hypersonic speed.”
A hypersonic vehicle would move so fast that it could bypass another nation’s missile defence system, adding to fears this kind of technology could kickstart World War 3.
Following the release of the paper, a Chinese aircraft designer not involved in the research declared that the plane is “something like a hypersonic heavy bomber” after declaring that it could carry “anything from flowers to bombs”.
He added: “It’s a crazy design, but somehow they’ve managed to make it work.”
The unnamed designer added that the scientific feat is part of a series of aircraft in development that had not been reported on.
He continued: “It could lead to a huge step forward in hypersonic technology.”
Current planes take around 14 hours to travel from Beijing to New York City.
The speed of sound, that would be easily surpassed by the plane if plans are put into fruition, is 343 metres per second.
In an effort to advance forms of travel, Mr Cui and the rest of his team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing used a model of a plane in a wind tunnel to test out aerodynamics evaluations.
The tests found the model demonstrated low drag and high lift when it was put through the tunnel at up to seven times the speed of sound.
Following the test, the aerodynamic maestro was dubbed the “I-plane”.
The apt name emerged from the shape of the plane’s shadow that looks like a capital I.
I-plane has two layers of wings that utilise one another to reduce turbulence and drag.
There are still a number of issues that will need to be ironed out before the I-plane can move forward from a conceptual stage.
One of the greatest challenges facing Mr Cui and his team is overcoming the incredible amount of heat that is generated when travelling at such speeds.
It is estimated that travelling at hypersonic speed could cause the plane to reach temperatures higher than 100 degrees Celsius.

The moon lander dubbed Odysseus is "alive and well" a day after its white-knuckle touchdown as the first private spacecraft ever to reach the lunar surface, and the first from the United States since 1972, the company behind the vehicle, Intuitive Machines, said on Friday.
The moon lander dubbed Odysseus is "alive and well" a day after its white-knuckle touchdown as the first private spacecraft ever to reach the lunar surface, and the first from the United States since 1972, the company behind the vehicle, Intuitive Machines, said on Friday. Flight controllers at the company's mission operations center in Houston "are communicating and commanding he vehicle to download science data," the company said in a statement posted on its website, the first update provided since Thursday's landing.
Shares of Intuitive Machines jumped 21% on Friday, and the company's stock was up 4.5% in after-hours trading. The company said the spacecraft also was sending "good telemetry" and was charging its solar power cells properly.
"We continue to learn more" about the vehicle's specific location in the south pole region of the moon, its "overall health" and its orientation on the surface, the company said. The six-legged, uncrewed robot spacecraft reached the lunar surface on Thursday after a nail-biting final approach and descent in which a problem surfaced with the lander's navigation system, requiring engineers on the ground to employ an untested work-around at the 11th hour.
It also took some time after an anticipated radio blackout to re-establish communications with the spacecraft and determine its fate some 239,000 miles (384,000 km) from Earth. When contact was finally renewed, the signal was faint, confirming that the lander had touched down but leaving mission control immediately uncertain as to the precise condition and position of the vehicle, company officials said during a webcast of the event on Thursday evening.
The lander is carrying a suite of scientific experiments for NASA and several commercial customers designed to operate for seven days on solar energy before the sun sets over the polar landing site. NASA and Houston-based Intuitive Machines planned to hold a news briefing later on Friday to give further updates on the status of the mission.

And even though Mark Zuckerberg’s company got out of this business, a new actor came in: Amazon, when not.
The company founded by Jeff Bezos bought a satellite network from Facebook to develop Project Kuiper, a system that can compete with Starlink, the satellite internet service of SpaceX, Elon Musk’s aerospace company.
Like Starlink, Project Kuiper is designed to provide high-speed, low-latency broadband connectivity to users around the world. Amazon aims to have a constellation of 3,236 satellites in orbit by 2029, with half launched by 2026. It also plans to build 12 ground stations around the world to transmit data to and from satellites.
The company said that will invest more than 10 billion dollars to carry out the project and recently received FAA approval. It also announced last year that it would use United Launch Alliance’s ultra-reliable Atlas V rocket for initial satellite launches.
Amazon significantly increased recruiting efforts for Project Kuiper at its Redmond headquarters, with 500 current employees and 200 vacant positions. Employees hailing from Facebook are reportedly based in the Los Angeles area and include physicists, as well as optical, prototyping, mechanical and software engineers.
The project is serious enough, as far as it can be seen. Facebook’s former Southern California head of connectivity Jin Bains is now listed as Project Kuiper director on his LinkedIn page.
Meanwhile, it appears Facebook is exiting the satellite internet business and focusing on terrestrial programs, having invested in submarine and overland fiber, as well as wireless services such as ExpressWiFi.
The company recently launched a satellite “Athena“through its subsidiary PointView Tech, but it was just a test mission and not the beginning of a satellite Internet constellation. With the sale of its satellite equipment to Amazon, it seems that any ambitions that may have had in that area.
Musk’s huge investment

Elon Musk announced late last month that SpaceX’s investment in satellite internet will be up to $ 30 billion in the long term. in your Starlink project.
The space exploration company SpaceX is developing its satellite internet service, which aims to foster a connection high-speed in remote areas of the planet regardless of terrestrial infrastructures.
The company has already deployed more than 1,500 satellites and has, in a dozen countries, more than 69,000 active users of your internet connection service. A figure that could exceed 500,000 users “in twelve months,” said Musk.
“From the month of August, we should have connectivity throughout the planet, with the exception of the poles. We are really targeting very sparsely inhabited regions, “explained the South African-born businessman in a telematic intervention at the world mobile phone show (MWC) held in Barcelona.
Regarding finances, he explained that “before having a positive treasury, you will probably have to invest at least $ 5 billion, maybe $ 10 billion. “
“And even when the treasury is beneficial, we will continue to invest so as not to be left behind in innovations,” he had said.
The investments are immense but Musk seems to be leading them: it could reach “between 20,000 and 30,000 million dollars“, against the 10 billion dollars of the Bezos Kuiper Project. | aerospace |

Reading time: 1 minute
She and she will remain in space for six months, China’s record. Three astronauts, including a woman, set out for the Chinese space station from Friday, October 15 to Saturday, October 16. According to footage broadcast live on public television CCTV, their ShenShow-13 spacecraft was propelled by a Long March 2F rocket from the Jiuquan launch pad in the Gobi Desert.
At an altitude of about 350-400 km, the three astronauts will live in Tianhe (“Celestial Harmony”), and the only module in the orbit of the three will eventually become the space station. For six months, they will have to continue building the station, inspecting various equipment and conducting scientific experiments, especially providing valuable information on how their body adapts to this long stay. They will also perform two or three space walks.
Shenzhou-12, the astronauts of the last mission, will double the duration record of the Chinese manned mission established in September. He later lived in Tianhe for three months. This will make extended stay possible “Experience in long-term missions”, Explains Professor Eric Seedhouse, who specializes in aerospace at the University of Aeronautics Embry-Riddle in the United States. “The main difficulty for astronauts is maintaining their muscle mass and reducing their bone loss.” In a weightless atmosphere that weakens living things, he says.

June 28, 2015
The Falcon 9 rocket company SpaceX of exploded two minutes after Sunday's launch, NASA announced.
"The rocket has exploded," said the commentator of television of NASA, which was broadcasting live the launch, while pieces of the rocket fell to the ground. "It appears that we have a failure of the rocket (...) but at this stage we do not know exactly what happened," he added. Liftoff was at 10:21 a.m. EST.
Falcon 9 rocket launch on June 28, 2015, just a few seconds before explosion
Shortly after one commentator SpaceX said the Falcon 9 with video transmission was interrupted. "There was an anomaly in the first part of the flight," he said while noting that new motors of the first stage of the rocket had both turned on and the vehicle had reached supersonic speed.
Pressure too high
"It seems that there was a problem with the first stage of the rocket" before parting with the rest of the launcher, he said. On Twitter, the boss of SpaceX Elon Musk spoke "too much pressure in the liquid oxygen tank from the last stage of the rocket."
SpaceX - CRS-7 Launch explosion
The Dragon capsule was carrying almost two tons of equipment and supplies for NASA, including food and clothing for the crew as well as equipment for scientific experiments. She should have arrived early Tuesday to the ISS where it was to be anchored by two of the three current crew members who find late July its normal complement of six.
This was the seventh ISS resupply mission by SpaceX on behalf of the US space agency over the twelve planned under a contract of $ 1.6 billion. The six previous missions had all been a success.
Dragon, which was in 2012 the first private spacecraft to dock with the space station during a demonstration flight, is the only capsule in the world capable of bringing cargo to Earth.
NASA has concluded supply contracts ISS with two private firms, SpaceX and Orbital Science. The latter has already made two supply flights to the ISS, but suffered an accident during the launch of his third mission on October 29, due to the failure of a Russian engines of its Antares launcher.
After the explosion Sunday Falcon 9, NASA no longer means, at least for a while, transport to supply the orbital outpost. For the Russian cargo ship Progress has also been a failure in late April. It remains a Japanese cargo ship.
Example of SpaceX Dragon cargo lost in the explosion
After two failures in less than two months to supply the ISS, the question is how many reservations has the orbital outpost for the crew.
A Progress vehicle is ready to launch July 3, followed in August by a Japanese HTV flight. Orbital ATK, our other commercial cargo partner, is moving ahead with plans for its next launch later this year.
Two of its members, an American and a Russian, began in March stay unprecedented one year to study the effects on humans of long stays in weightlessness, in preparation for a manned mission to Mars in horiron 2030.

The sky is the limit for the winged-wheels’ potential market, said Gersh. About 100 customers have already plunked down $10,000 deposits to own the
first one on their block.
Besides having little room for luggage, the other drawback is that drivers have to take off and land from an airport – unless they’re in Alaska or
Montana, where pilots are allowed to use roadways as runways.

The German military commissioned its first spy-in-the-sky satellite system on Thursday, Dec. 4 enabling it to peek through clouds or the darkness of night at any spot on the planet.
The German spy-in-the-sky will be able to produce high definition pictures
The synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) system uses five satellites that bounce radar pulses off the earth. Sophisticated computers convert the returning signals into a picture of the ground that can resolve features just 50 centimeters in width.
Germany is to share the data with France, which operates Helios II military satellites that photograph the ground in the daytime.
The 350-million-euro ($445-million) German system, code- named SAR-Lupe, became operational in the summer and was officially handed over to the military Thursday by the builders, OHB System. The ground station is in the town of Grafschaft.
Defense officials said Germany will be able to take radar pictures of any place at about 10 hours' notice, the time it takes for a satellite to arrive overhead and for the picture to be compiled.
Vice Admiral Wolfram Kuehn, deputy chief of the armed forces, said the system meant Germany no longer needed to depend on US data.
"The Kosovo conflict in 1999 demonstrated to us how important it was to have your own worldwide reconnaissance capability," he said.
The military could have also used such as system with its troops in Afghanistan or while assisting victims of the December 2003 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Radar pictures are not as fine-grained as photography from space, which clearly shows people and pets, as users of map websites know.
However radar is the best solution in night-time or rainy conditions over the target area. | aerospace |

In a recent ruling, the Federal Aviation Administration revoked the Collings Foundation’s permission to have passengers aboard its aircraft after a deadly crash last October, citing various safety reasons.
The ruling comes nearly six months after a World War II B-17 bomber Nine O Nine — owned by the Collings Foundation — crashed soon after taking off from Bradley International Airport on Oct. 2, 2019.
The National Transportation Safety Board investigation is ongoing.
In the seven-page FAA decision, released Wednesday, FAA Deputy Executive Director of Flight Service Standards Robert Carty indicated there were issues with two of the aircraft’s four engines and that the foundation didn’t follow requirements to run the plane and carry passengers.
Hunter Chaney, a spokesman for the Collings Foundation, said in a statement Thursday, “The Collings Foundation currently is reviewing the FAA’s decision and evaluating our options. As a party to the NTSB investigation into the tragic B-17 accident in Connecticut on October 2 of last year, we are not permitted comment on issues pertaining to the accident investigation or findings to date. We look forward to discussing with the FAA its decision findings that were not addressed with the Foundation before the issuance of the FAA decision.
“Through thirty years of passenger carrying operations, and until the October 2, 2019 accident, the Wings of Freedom tour had never had an accident, injury or fatality. This record reflects a commitment to safety that has proudly set a standard among the Warbird community for generations. The Foundation has always held safety as its top priority.”
The FAA ruling takes away the permission Collings had to charge for rides on its historic collection of planes. It also denied Collings Foundation’s request for an extension of that permission for 10 aircraft.
A few weeks after the Bradley crash, Collings Foundation asked its supporters to support the exemption application to the FAA.
In the decision, Carty said the FAA understands flights on these historic aircraft are “meaningful to some members of the public,” he said the FAA is required to make sure everything is operating in the best way for public interest.
The FAA findings, according to Carty’s decision, indicated that Collings was not fulfilling several requirements and that “Collings lacked a safety culture” — necessary to continue to operate.
Among the findings, Carty said, was that the crew chief on the flight that crash was not trained for his role.
“Given the facts of the accident on Oct. 2, 2019, and the subsequent evidence of Collings’s lack of compliance ... the FAA has determined that granting the exemption ... would not be in the public interest because of the adverse effect on safety,” Carty wrote.
His decision indicated that if the FAA continued to let Collings Foundation carry passengers on its aircraft, it would “adversely affect safety.” | aerospace |

American Airlines’ Flight 718, the first commercial 737 Max flight by a major U.S. airline since its recertification on Nov. 18, departed from Miami shortly before 10:30 a.m. ET and is scheduled to arrive at New York LaGuardia a little early at 1:18 p.m. ET.
The airline has one of the largest 737 Max fleets in the U.S., with 24 planes at the time of the aircraft’s grounding in March 2019.
Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelly said at the time of recertification that the Dallas-based carrier, which had 34 of the planes at the time of the grounding, doesn’t anticipate putting the 737 Max on the schedule before Spring 2021. The airline confirmed to USA TODAY on Monday that the plane is not on its 2021 schedule yet.
United, which had 14 planes at the time of grounding and has received several more since, said it will fly the first of its 737 Maxes on Feb. 11, though it has not announced the plane’s route yet.
While there have been several test flights leading up to and following the 737 Max’s Nov. 18 recertification, it has not been flown on any commercial flights in the U.S. since March 2019.
Brazil’s National Civil Aviation Agency greenlit the plane’s return about a week after the FAA decision. On Dec. 9, GOL Linhas Aereas airline became the first airline to fly it commercially, according to flight-tracking site FlightRadar24.
The European Union’s Aviation Safety Agency has not recertified the plane yet but said it expects to make its decision in mid-January.
EASA director Patrick Ky, told the BBC that he is “certain” it is safe and that EASA “left no stone unturned” in its review.

The rocket (with no crew on board) blasted off from a test site in rural Texas on Wednesday and reached more than 60 miles into the upper atmosphere. It was carrying the ‘New Shepard’ capsule, which in future flights will house paying passengers. This capsule is said to be equipped with large windows for panoramic views.
It has been a busy time for the space firm. In October this year Blue Origin signed deals with a number of companies for a lunar landing system, as it no longer plans to build its giant lunar lander (called the Blue Moon lunar lander) for NASA by itself.
Instead it partnered up Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Draper, to jointly develop a lunar landing system for the space agency capable of taking humans to and from the Moon’s surface.
But the rocket launch of Wednesday is entirely different from its NASA project, namely the taking of rich space tourists into space.
In this regard it will be competing directly with the likes of Virgin Galactic, the space tourism company founded by Richard Branson, which aims to fly wealthy passengers on scenic trips to suborbital space.
The Blue Origin rocket flight was the 12th uncrewed test flight and could one of its final test flights, although the firm has not said when it will be ready to begin taking paying customers.
CNN reported that earlier this year, Ariane Cornell, Blue Origin’s director of sales, said the company was looking to fly passengers in 2019.
But those plans changed, and during the webcast of Wednesday’s launch, she reportedly said only that the company is getting “very close.”
The capsule, which will house passengers, is designed to detach from the rocket near the top of its flight path.
During Wednesday’s test flight, CNN said that it climbed about 343,000 feet, or 65 miles. Future passengers will be able to experience a few minutes of weightlessness before the descent.
Three parachutes are used to slow the capsule as it falls back to Earth, and it was reportedly travelling about 16 miles per hour before hitting the ground on Wednesday. The trip lasted just over 10 minutes from takeoff to landing.
The rocket meanwhile, after it detached the capsule, reignited its engine to execute a landing back on the launch site. This reusuability, (as SpaceX rockets do) means that New Shepard can land and fly again with “minimal refurbishment” – a key issuing in bringing down the cost per launch.
Virgin Galactic is expected to launch the first paying customers on its supersonic space plane by mid-2020, at a cost of $200,000 and $250,000 per seat.
Blue Origin has yet to publicly confirmed how much its tickets will cost.
Blue Origin is funded solely by Jeff Bezos, whose $100 billion-plus fortune makes him one of the richest people in the world.
In 2017 Bezos sold 1 million shares worth a staggering $940.74million (£727m) as he continued to plough funds into space venture.
He has admitted he sells about $1bn (£773m) in Amazon stock per year to fund Blue Origin.
The Blue Origin mission is to build “a road to space with our reusable launch vehicles,” but initially the firm aims to send tourists on brief flights into suborbital space where they can experience weightlessness and gain a view of the Earth.

An engine leak along with a separate hydrogen leak was discovered as the rocket was inspected at around 7:30 am, just an hour before the scheduled launch time.
Thousands of space fans who had turned up to see the historic moon mission launch were left disappointed as NASA was forced to re-schedule the Artemis’ launch date to September 2.
According to Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Jonathan McDowell, NASA had failed to test for the issue in a launch dress rehearsal last week and said if it had conducted an engine “bleeding” process, the rocket, called Orion, could have been in space today.
“It’s one of many engine-related things that happens during the countdown,” he explained.
“I am skeptical they will try again on Friday, I think the delay is likely to be longer.”
NASA administrator Bill Nelson said that engineers are now gathering data on the engine.

“We don’t launch until it’s right,” he said.
“This is a very complicated machine. ‘You don’t want to light the candle until it’s ready to go.”
The Artemis mission is the first step in NASA’s plan to land humans on the moon in three years’ time, a feat that has not happened since Apollo 17 landed on the lunar surface 50 years ago.
Artemis Mission 1 will launch an unmanned test flight around and beyond the moon, while Artemis 2 will aim to send humans on the same journey – the furthest distance humans have ever been into space before.

The third and final ambitious (and typically woke) mission will involve NASA sending the first female astronaut, Charlie Blackwell-Thomas, and the first astronaut from a minority race to conduct research on the moon’s surface.
Around 30 percent of the control room personnel are now female.
“This mission goes with a lot of hopes and dreams of a lot of people. And we now are the Artemis generation,” said Nelson.
“We were in the Apollo generation. This is a new generation. This is a new type of astronaut.”
Orion is the most powerful rocket the world has ever seen. Its boosters are capable of producing 8.8 million pounds of thrust.
If the first flight goes ahead, it will travel 240,000 miles to the moon where it will enter an orbit 40,000 miles from the moon’s surface for six days, which could be extended to 21 days.
50 years after the last Apollo mission, NASA is getting ready to go back.

The craft will then splash down in the Pacific Ocean.
Although there will be no human passengers in Orion on this mission, two test dummies will man the ship. The dummies have torsos made from soft material to mimic that of an adult female including ‘organs’ and ‘bones’. Women are more likely to develop cancer from radiation as they have more soft tissue.
The dummies each contain thousands of censors to monitor radiation exposure during the flight. One of the dummies will be wearing a radiation protection vest while the other won’t.
Also taking the trip in Orion will be 245 silver Snoopy pins, a Wallace and Gromit Shaun the Sheep toy, and 567 American flags. | aerospace |

The Space Shuttle Main Engines burn about a half-million gallons of fuel during lift-off and acceleration, producing 28 tons of carbon dioxide, and, according to Discover Magazine, "23 tons of harmful particulate matter settle around the launch area each liftoff, and nearly 13 tons of hydrochloric acid kill fish and plants within half a mile of the site." Furthermore, rockets are not reusable.
Besides the cost and environmental damage, rockets are complicated! Rocket engines and their fuel systems are so complex that only three countries have ever put people in orbit. And once you figure out how to do it, the risk of something going wrong is incredibly high. In the last 45 years, 15 people have died during the take-off or re-entry phases of their mission.
It makes you wonder who said "Hmmm. Clearly the easiest, safest way to get to space is to fill a giant tube with explosives, put some people in the tip, and light it on fire." (For the record, it was Jules Verne who, in 1865, wrote the novel that inspired the movement to send people to space in rockets, although he proposed using a giant cannon to escape Earth.) Why not, say, build a really long ladder reaching from Earth into space, and keep climbing until you have escaped the Earth's gravitational pull, then let go? Ouala! - you are in orbit.
|Tsiolkovsky, looking old and wise. |
In fact, someone did have this idea. In 1885, 30 years after Verne published his novel, Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was inspired by the Eiffel Tower to propose just such a system. His design included a "celestial castle" at the top of a spindle-shaped cable that reached out 22,238 mi above sea level, which is the altitude required for geo-stationary orbit.
Tsiolkovsky never built his elevator (though he is considered a founding father of rocketry), but the basic principles behind space elevator design have not changed since his original proposal. All space elevator designs include a giant cable attached to Earth's equator that reaches up into space. The centripetal force provided by the Earth's rotation keeps the cable extended and stationary above a point on Earth. (Imagine holding on to a long string and spinning around in place - the string flies around you in your orbital plane, extending out from your hand). Designs also include a counter weight at the space end of the cable - like Tsiolkovsky's celestial castle - that provides enough mass to keep the cable straight. (Tie a tennis ball to the end of your string - it now flies out straight from your arm rather than curving away from the direction of motion). Once the cable is in place, a robot can simply climb the cable, starting from Earth. Traveling at 180 mph - the speed of a fast train - a climber could reach GEO orbit in about 5 days. And by the time it got to the end, it will have achieved orbital velocity (taken from the Earth's rotation). It could toss a satellite out the window and call it a day. No rockets required.
So why don't we have a space elevator yet?

to scale. The height of the counterweight varies
by design and a typical, workable height is

Other challenges include handling space-trash collisions at LEO altitudes without damaging the cable, designing a climber that can scale a cable that varies in thickness (some current designs have rollers that use friction to roll up the cable), and deciding what to use for the counter-weight (maybe material that is ferried up from Earth along the cable, or perhaps a captured asteroid?). There are also more complicated concerns, like managing cable oscillations and vibrational nodes as climbers move up and down, or satellites are launched off of the cable at various altitudes.
Though it is not necessarily on the general public's radar, the space elevator concept is being actively explored by the space community. NASA has long supported the idea, mostly through financing competitions and prizes to encourage innovation in the area. The US-based group Liftport hopes to use crowd-sourced fundraising (via Kickstarter) to design and build a moon-based space elevator, which would allow astronauts to gently descend to the lunar surface from orbit, and then climb away again. Astronauts or robots would launch from Earth in a rocket and rendezvous with the elevator cable at a base station located in the L1 Lagrange point between Earth and the Moon. (Here is a video of a test the group performed 6 years ago using a prototype robot to climb a cable held aloft by giant helium balloons). In February the Daily Yomiyuri reported that Japanese construction firm Obayashi Corp, (the same company that is currently refurbishing the Golden Gate Bridge), has announced plans to build a space elevator by 2050 that would shuttle 30 people to space at a time, and in November 2011 the New York Times reported that Google has been secretly working away at a space elevator design in its Google X lab in Mountain View.
With private companies like SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, and Sierra Nevada Corp (to name just a few) entering the market and competing for contracts at a faster pace than ever before, I think it is probable that we will have cheaper, more reliable rockets years before we have a cheap, reliable space elevator. But that is beside the point. What will happen when a weekend trip entails a casual train ride the edge of outer space? Or when designing satellites to be small, light, and compact is no longer necessary? Or when you can stretch out a net to capture passing space trash, or build a permanent science laboratory at any altitude? A space elevator wouldn't just replace rockets, it would open up outer space to a whole new world of possibilities. | aerospace |

The combustor then heats this air at constant pressure. After heating, air passes from the combustor through the nozzle guide vanes to the turbine.
What is the function of combustion chamber?
A combustion chamber is part of an internal combustion engine in which the fuel/air mix is burned. For steam engines, the term has also been used for an extension of the firebox which is used to allow a more complete combustion process.
What is combustion chamber in gas turbine engine?
A combustion chamber is where the fuel is burned at constant temperature with air and gas turbine, where the air is expanded to generate electricity.
What is combustion section in gas turbine?
The combustion section contains the combustion chambers, igniter plugs, and fuel nozzle or fuel injectors. It is designed to burn a fuel-air mixture and to deliver combusted gases to the turbine at a temperature not exceeding the allowable limit at the turbine inlet.
What are the three types of combustion chambers used in a turbine engine?
Types of Combustion Chamber. There are three main types of combustion chamber in use for gas turbine engines. These are the multiple chamber, the tubo-annular chamber, and the annular chamber.
What are three types of combustion?
Here’s a closer look at five types of combustion:
- Complete Combustion. Complete combustion requires a combination of fuel and oxygen. …
- Incomplete Combustion. Incomplete combustion occurs when there is not enough oxygen for the fuel to fully react. …
- Rapid Combustion. …
- Spontaneous Combustion. …
- Explosive Combustion.
What is the purpose of multivalve?
In automotive engineering a multi-valve or multivalve engine is one where each cylinder has more than two valves. A multi-valve engine has better breathing and may be able to operate at higher revolutions per minute (RPM) than a two-valve engine, delivering more power.
What are the 3 main component of gas turbine?
Gas turbine overview. The gas turbine has three major sections, namely the compressor, combustor and turbine (although, from a materials perspective, the other major component groups – rotor, casing and auxiliaries – are also of interest).
What is the working principle of gas turbine?
The gas-turbine operates on the principle of the Brayton cycle, where compressed air is mixed with fuel, and burned under constant pressure conditions. The resulting hot gas is allowed to expand through a turbine to perform work.
What is the working principle of a gas turbine engine?
As hot combustion gas expands through the turbine, it spins the rotating blades. The rotating blades perform a dual function: they drive the compressor to draw more pressurized air into the combustion section, and they spin a generator to produce electricity.
What are the three types of turbine blades?
Turbine blades are classified into three types: Impulse, reaction, and impulse-reaction.
What is gas turbine and how it works?
A gas turbine is a combustion engine at the heart of a power plant that can convert natural gas or other liquid fuels to mechanical energy. This energy then drives a generator that produces the electrical energy that moves along power lines to homes and businesses.
Where is the combustion drain valve located?
A spring-loaded drain valve at the bottom of the combustor outer case through which unburned fuel is drained during an aborted start.
What are two types of fuel used in turbine engines?
The two kinds of fuel most commonly used in General Aviation are Jet fuel and Avgas. As the name suggests, Jet fuel is used mainly to power jet engines, which rely on the powerful thrust of expelled air to drive the plane forward.
What happen in the combustion chamber of a turbine engine?
In a gas turbine engine, the combustor or combustion chamber is fed high pressure air by the compression system. The combustor then heats this air at constant pressure. … To do so combustors are carefully designed to first mix and ignite the air and fuel, and then mix in more air to complete the combustion process.
What is meant by a free turbine turboshaft engine?
A free-turbine turboshaft is a form of turboshaft or turboprop gas turbine engine where the power is extracted from the exhaust stream of a gas turbine by an independent turbine, downstream of the gas turbine. | aerospace |

U.S. Special Operations Command on Monday announced it has selected the AT-802U Sky Warden, made by L3Harris Technologies and Air Tractor, for its Armed Overwatch program.
The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract will be worth up to $3 billion, L3Harris said in a release Monday. The initial program contract award is for $170 million.
Air Tractor is an aircraft manufacturer from Olney, Texas, that typically makes firefighting aircraft and agricultural planes such as crop dusters.
Initial production of the Sky Warden will take place at Air Tractor’s facility in Olney. L3Harris will then modify those planes into the Armed Overwatch mission configuration at its Tulsa, Oklahoma modification center, beginning in 2023. L3Harris said work will also take place at its other sites in Greenville, Rockwall and Waco, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee.
Air Force Special Operations Command’s Armed Overwatch program aims to build a fleet of up to 75 flexible, fixed-wing aircraft suitable for deployment to austere locations, with little logistical tail needed to keep them operating.
SOCOM is planning for the single-engine Sky Warden, as AFSOC’s Armed Overwatch plane, to be able to provide close air support, precision strike and armed intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions for counterterrorism operations and irregular warfare.
AFSOC commander Lt. Gen. Jim Slife said last year he hopes Armed Overwatch aircraft will be suited to pressure extremist groups in places like Africa, in which the airspace is essentially uncontested.
The Air Force moved to establish a series of Armed Overwatch planes as it shifted its primary focus — and some of its more complex and expensive-to-operate fighters and bombers — away from combating terrorist groups and violent extremist organizations in places like the Middle East. | aerospace |

That’s because NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, launched an official Instagram account on September 6 – a social profile it says will “take its fans on an out-of-this-world journey through images of Earth and beyond.”
According to a press release, with content including aeronautics, astrophysics, Earth science, and human spaceflight, the NASA account will provide a view of the agency by sharing new and historic images and videos.
On its first day on Instagram, NASA focused on the launch of its Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, or LADEE, at 11:27 p.m. ET from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va. NASA says LADEE is a robotic research mission that will orbit the moon to gather information about the structure and composition of the lunar atmosphere and determine whether dust is being lofted into the lunar sky.
By 11:30 p.m. ET on September 6, NASA was up to 32,000 followers on Instagram – including 4,000 as of noon ET.
Throughout the day, NASA posted historic moon images and real-time photos from the launch complex leading up to and including liftoff. As of September 7, 6,400 Instagram users had liked the LADEE launch image.
“That’s the theme for the day – Instagram moon day,” says John Yembrick, NASA’s social media manager, adding the probe to the moon would be visible from the Carolinas to Maine.
Instagram is a good platform for the agency because “NASA is such a visual organization,” Yembrick says.
NASA has countless images to share, including those from the Hubble telescope, as well as the sun.
“What we launch today with images from the moon is such a dynamic story to tell visually,” he adds.
“NASA is trying to inspire the world to exploration and discovery. We’d really like to reach out to let people know what we’re doing in space exploration and how it impacts their lives and shapes the world,” Yembrick says. “I’d also say we’d like to hit people who use the [Instagram] platform. One of the things about [Instagram] is that you go on to share an aspect of your life and through it you can learn what NASA is doing. You don’t necessarily expect to learn, but you can if all of a sudden it’s in front of you. It’s not just pictures – it’s telling the NASA story.”
Also on September 6, Instagram issued a tweet to welcome NASA. By the next day, it had been retweeted 1,000 times and favorited 500 times.
The agency’s primary Twitter account, @NASA, has 4.7 million followers, which NASA says is more than any other federal agency.
“We’re trying to evolve,” Yembrick says. “We’ve been on Instagram for awhile, but I wish we were on it sooner. Sometimes the government doesn’t move as fast, but I think it’s a great platform for us as we evolve and are trying to reach a different demographic and audience.”
NASA was established by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1958. The organization says its vision is “to reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.”
Social media has developed into an effective component of digital strategy, but measuring its performance is still a challenge. How will analytics affect social media in 2017?
I didn’t vote for him last November. There was no way this registered Democrat from the blue state of Massachusetts would check that box. But I have to give him props for his tweets.
On Thursday, Twitter reported its earnings for Q4 2016, and the results have raised questions about the company's long-term future.

BEAVER ISLAND, Mich. (AP) — A pilot’s error during landing caused a 2021 plane crash that killed four people on a Michigan island, federal investigators concluded.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which investigated the Nov. 13, 2021 crash on Beaver Island, said in a report released Thursday that the pilot lost control during landing and crashed 300 feet (91 meters) from the airport’s runway.
While approaching the airport, the plane was observed flying slowly and “‘wallowing’ as if nobody was flying,” the report said. The pilot exceeded the “airplane’s critical angle of attack during final approach, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of control at an altitude too low to recover,” according to the NTSB report.
The pilot and three others were killed in the crash; a young girl survived.
The pilot was flying for Island Airways, which takes travelers between Beaver Island in northern Lake Michigan and Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula.

LYRID METEOR SHOWER: The annual Lyrid meteor shower peaks this weekend on the night of April 21-22 when Earth passes through a stream of debris from ancient Comet Thatcher. Usually the shower is mild (10-20 meteors per hour) but unmapped filaments of dust in the comet's tail sometimes trigger outbursts ten times stronger. This year's peak coincides with a new Moon, so lunar interference will not be a problem. The promise of a good display has prompted NASA to plan an unusual 3D meteor photography experiment combining observations from the ground, a research balloon, and the International Space Station. More information, observing tips, and live audio from a meteor radar are available on today's edition of http://SpaceWeather.com Browse the links for more information: observing tips, meteor radar, NASA chat, 3D meteors, Lyrid video.
ELPALLSKY, along with a vast array of other Sandia Sentinel fireball cameras will participate in this endeavour. Results will be posted as they arrive on ELPALLSKY and may take several days to complete. Please bookmark this site for continued updates.

Eastern tire maker Bridgestone Corp. is increasing tires for use by crewed rovers on the moon. The tires are metal and airless, designed to withstand the moon’s coarse temperatures, rocky terrain and cosmic radiation better than mature tires. Since the moon surface is roofed in a layer of incredibly resplendent sand, Bridgestone opted for a double-tire structure with two tires linked to every wheel — cherish on good trucks here on Earth. That ends in a contact patch repute roughly six times that of long-established passenger vehicle tires, considering tension to be dispersed across a larger surface. Bridgestone believes that some of its lunar solutions will abet it manufacture recent suggestions for stepped forward ideas here at house.

The pilot would walk out on the wing of the aircraft and tighten struts or adjust a control surface. Of course, the lunacy developed into what became the birth of stunt flying (very different from the controlled environment of aerobatics). U.S. Army Air Service Pilot Ormer Locklear made a career once out of the military with the Locklear Flying Circus. It’s said that Locklear was the first person to routinely leave the relative comfort of his control seat to make inflight repairs.
After Locklear’s tenure with the Circus, he moved onto Hollywood, starring in the Cecil B. DeMille film The Great Air Robbery. In 1920, he died in a crash during production of his second film.
Wing walking continues today with the obvious associated risks.

Many are fighters and bombers that first flew in the Second World War – Avro Lancasters, Handley-Page Halifaxes and De Havilland Mosquitos.
Others are the first prototypes of aircraft that would replace them.
Yet more are transport aircraft – some designed to carry paying passengers glamorous destinations as opposed to troops to the far corners of the Empire.
There are trainers, gliders, helicopters, seaplanes and flying boats.
There are aircraft that sit nose up sniffing the air and ones that stand level with the ground, pointing at the horizon. There are jets and propeller-powered designs.
Some are strange insect-like concoctions – almost the doodlings of bored schoolboys done while their teacher explains the finer points of the Latin grammer or the formation of igneous rock strata.
And there are the deltas and tail-less aircraft and the ‘flying wings’.
Unlike the others they will never number in their hundreds or even tens. For they are purely for research.
One of these was the Armstrong Whitworth AW 52, designed to examine laminar flow (1) – the smooth and efficient passage of air over the wings – and as well as the concept of a tail-less aircraft, that is an aircraft which is without a separate fuselage – not just a tail assembly. (2)
VIEWS OF THE Rolls-Royce Nene powered Armstrong Whitworth AW 52 (TS363).
A second aircraft (TS368) was powered by less powerful Rolls-Royce Derwent engines.

By May 1943 aerodynamic calculations had proved the concept so an unpowered glider was built in March 1944 and made its first flight a year later, being towed aloft by a ‘tug’ aircraft. A series of flights followed with the glider being towed to a height of around 20,000 feet (just over 6,000 meters). (3)
From there the decision was made to produce a jet-powered version. This had a wingspan of 90 feet (27.4 metres). The first of two aircraft was complete at the end of 1946 but didn’t start flying until 13 November 1947.
Flying continued into 1948 and a second aircraft – this time with less powerful Rolls-Royce Derwent engines – took to the air 1 September 1948.
Considerable interest was shown by both the technical press and the general public – this being a time when British people took a great interest in aviation matters.
On 30 May 1949 Armstrong Whitworth test pilot John Oliver Lancaster was flying the first aircraft when – in a 320 mph (515 kph) dive – he experienced problems with the control surfaces.
A former apprentice with Armstrong Whitworth, Lancaster had served in RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War flying some 54 sorties before becoming a test pilot with a number of aviation firms, finally returning to Armstrong Whitworth. (4)
The plane increasingly started vibrating and wouldn’t respond to the controls. So violently did the aircraft shake that he thought it would break up.
Having pushed the dive correction buttons and wrestled with the controls to no effect he knew he had no choice.
He pulled the hood-jettison knob in front of him – and then made British aviation history by becoming the first British pilot to eject from an aircraft.
Using the what the company calls a pre-Mark 1 Martin Baker ejection seat he ejected over Southam in Warwickshire. (5)
Lancaster shot clear of his aircraft and in doing so became the first of 69 airmen to be saved by this manually operated early ejector seat. (6) The seat sent him some 24 feet skyward before a parachute opened on, enabling the pilot to undo his seat straps and free himself before opening his own parachute. (7)
After pulling the ripcord on his parachute landed – badly bruised – but otherwise safe in a field. (8)
Afterwards the Martin Baker company presented their first user with an engraved gold Rolex watch to mark the occasion. In 1975 the watch was stolen and thought lost for ever – or at least until 2014 when it turned up in New York.
Descendants of one of the firm’s founders – the Martin family – decided to purchase the watch and return it to Mr Lancaster. He in turn suggested that the watch be sold and the funds used to support the upkeep of the RAF Bomber Command Memorial in London, England.
Martin-Baker then bought the watch for a third time allowing Mr Lancaster to donate the money he received to the Memorial. (9)
The watch is now in the Martin-Baker company museum.
John Lancaster celebrated turned 100 years old on 4 February 2019. (10)
A little background information
- The first working ejection seat was developed for the Luftwaffe with the first successful ejection being made on January 14 1942. (11)Helmut Schenk ejected from a Heinkel He 280 jet he was testing. The type of seat he used was installed in a variety of Luftwaffe aircraft. (12)
- Martin Baker was originally an aircraft manufacturer until Valentine Baker (the co-founder of the company with James Martin) was killed testing one of the company’s aircraft in 1942. Deeply affected by his friend’s death James decided to dedicate the company’s future to aircrew safety. (13)
- Much of the initial testing of the seats was done by Bernard Ignatius Lynch a fitter at the factory. (14)
- For his pioneering work he was awarded British Empire Medal on 1948. (15)
- To date 7595 lives have been saved in the seventy years since John Lancaster left his stricken plane over Warwickshire. (16)
- Martin-Baker still presents watches to aircrew who have used the company’s seats to eject from a stricken aircraft. (17) (18)

Arie Egozi, civil and military aviation expert, talks about the airplane, the grandiose project and possible future developments of commercial aviation
The Airbus A380 can be visualized as many things: a flying whale, a portable fortress, but there is nothing like the world’s largest airliner which can carry as much as 800 passengers.
The maiden flight of the European Airbus took place exactly ten years ago today. The grandiose project evolved from the tight competition between the two largest commercial plane manufacturers in the world: The European “Airbus” and the American “Boeing”.
Arie Egozi, civil and military aviation expert: “Boeing had the 747 model which was the ‘king of the sky’ and Airbus, which has great planes, did not have that kind of a plane. So they decided to design a big plane. Really big”.
The scales and capabilities of the double-decker aircraft are amazing: It is 73 meters long and 24 meters high. It has a wingspan of 80 meters and its maximum takeoff weight is over 500 tons.
“Technologically, it is an amazing aircraft – 25% of the plane is made of composite materials, which is a lot. I remember boarding the plane and knocking on the wall – it felt like plastic”, says Egozi. “It is lighter and stronger. The cockpit is a technological wonder – nothing but screens. Airbus has proven their technological supremacy”.
The plane is indeed a herald in terms of technology and using composite materials, but it seems that Egozi have doubts regarding its economic success. “The initial goal was that the plane would only fly between central locations and that the passengers would continue their journey with smaller planes”, he explains. “But passengers today prefer direct flights over stopovers. The perception was wrong and the biggest proof to this day is that it is still not clear when the project would start being profitable”.
The size of the plane is indeed very impressive, but it seems that it also poses a challenge for airports worldwide. “If a plane of that kind lands in Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, it is going to be difficult to handle because the airport does not possess the suitable equipment for it. It can land here one time, but if an airline would want to bring A380s to Israel, the Airport Authority is going to have to invest money”.
Competition between manufacturers is often an unpleasant game, but it can also lead to significant progress in commercial aviation and aircraft technology in the future.
“The whole concept of supersonic airplanes is now being reconsidered”, he says. “The ‘Concord’ was an amazing jet and could hold 100 passengers. It took me three hours and forty minutes to fly from New-York to Paris. You sat in the plane and watched it pass the speed of sound like a fighter jet and then reach twice that speed”.
It sounds amazing, but do not expect to be flying in an aircraft like that in the next years. To design such an airplane, many problems, most of them technological ones, have to be solved.
“There is the sonic boom – the Concord could pass the sonic speed only above the sea and not while flying above cities. The undesired effects of the sonic boom would have to be resolved”, he says. “Investment in the development of such an aircraft would be tremendous, but I believe that this is what companies want to possess 20 years from now. This would be their ‘money maker’”. | aerospace |

In addition to these appearances, a small number of C-130s appear as ground objects in the mission "Shattered Skies". Notably, attacking these aircraft will trigger a "hold fire" warning.
Ace Combat 5: The Unsung WarEditIn Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, the C-130 is an aircraft operated by the Yuktobanian Air Force. Compared to AC04, it is somewhat more common, as far as appearances are concerned.
In the main campaign, it is first introduced as an enemy cargo aircraft in the first phase of the mission "White Bird (Part I)", where several units drop BMD-1 on the Basset Space Center. Several of these aircraft are encountered as TGTs in "Blind Spot", and a lone C-130 can be later found in mission 16B, "Desert Lightning".
The Hercules is also an enemy target in Arcade Mode. It is an special aircraft marked with the "[M]" icon, replenishing the player's missile payload when shot down, or ocassionally with the "[S]", which instead rearms the player's special weapons reserve. Occupied by Free Erusea, they can be encountered in Areas 01A, 02A and 04A. After those stages, its role is overtaken by the C-5 Galaxy.
Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan WarEditIn Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War, the C-130 Hercules is an uncommon large-scale aircraft. A small number of units are used by the Ustio Air Force and the Belkan Air Force in the game's campaign mode.
Later on, a neutral Belkan Hercules carrying wounded personnel can be found in "The Inferno". A single aircraft used by rebel Belkan troops appears as a neutral enemy in "Lying in Deceit", while another pair of rebel units is featured in mission 14C, "The Final Overture".
Ace Combat: Assault HorizonEdit
The rarest aircraft of the three, it makes its sole appearance in the introduction of the mission "Home Front", where a Hercules is used to transport William Bishop and the rest of Task Force 108 from Russia to Miami. Due to its brief appearance, the exact variant featured cannot be identified properly. | aerospace |

Some aerospace engineers work on projects that are related to national defense and thus require security clearances. U.S. citizenship may be required for certain types and levels of clearances.
Entry-level aerospace engineers usually need a bachelor's degree. High school students interested in studying aerospace engineering should take courses in chemistry, physics, and mathematics, including algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
Bachelor’s degree programs are designed to take 4 years and include classroom, laboratory, and field studies in subjects such as general engineering principles, propulsion, stability and control, structures, mechanics, and aerodynamics, which is the study of how air interacts with moving objects.
Some colleges and universities offer cooperative programs, in partnership with industry, that give students practical experience while they complete their education. Cooperative programs and internships allow students to get valuable experience and to finance part of their education.
At some universities, a student can enroll in a 5-year program that leads to both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree upon completion. A graduate degree will allow an engineer to work as an instructor at a university or to do research and development. Programs in aerospace engineering are accredited by ABET (formerly the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).
Analytical skills. Aerospace engineers must be able to identify design elements that may not be meeting requirements in particular operating environments and then formulate alternatives to improve their performance.
Business skills. Much of the work done by aerospace engineers involves meeting federal government standards. Meeting these standards often requires knowledge of standard business practices, as well as knowledge of commercial law.
Critical-thinking skills. Aerospace engineers must be able to translate a set of issues into requirements and to figure out why a particular design does not work. They must be able to ask the right question and then to find an acceptable answer.
Math skills. Aerospace engineers use the principals of calculus, trigonometry, and other advanced topics in mathematics for analysis, design, and troubleshooting in their work.
Teamwork. Aerospace engineers must work with other professionals involved in designing and building aircraft, spacecraft, and their components. They must be able to communicate well, divide work into manageable tasks, and work with others toward a common goal.
Writing skills. Aerospace engineers work with many other professionals, often other kinds of engineers. They must be able to write papers that explain their designs clearly to these professionals. They must also create documentation for future reference.
Aerospace engineers are not required to be licensed at the entry level. More experienced aerospace engineers, who have more responsibility, must be licensed as professional engineers (PE). Licensure generally requires the following:
The initial Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam can be taken right after graduating with a bachelor's degree. Engineers who pass this exam commonly are called engineers in training (EITs) or engineer interns (EIs). After acquiring suitable work experience, EITs can take the second exam, called the Principles and Practice of Engineering exam.
Several states require engineers to take continuing education courses to keep their licenses. Most states recognize licenses from other states, as long as the other states’ licensing requirements meet or exceed their own licensing requirements.
Eventually, aerospace engineers may advance to become technical specialists or to supervise a team of engineers and technicians. Some may even become engineering managers or move into executive positions, such as program managers. However, preparation for assuming a managerial position usually requires serving an apprenticeship under a more experienced aerospace engineer. For more information, see the profile on architectural and engineering managers.

In this article, we dive into the fascinating possibilities of space habitats and colonization, daily life in orbit, and the various aspects of a space-faring society such as agriculture, economy, culture, and health.
Space Habitats and Colonization
Exploring Space Habitats
One of the fascinating concepts being explored in the realm of space habitats is the establishment of permanent human presence beyond Earth, particularly on neighboring celestial bodies such as the Moon and Mars. Architects and scientists are working together to develop innovative living spaces that can sustain life in extremely harsh environments, utilizing materials and resources available on-site. Key considerations include closed-loop life support systems that manage air, water, and waste, along with generating power through solar and nuclear sources. These habitats must also protect future space settlers from extreme temperatures, radiation, and micrometeoroids that pose significant risks to humans living in space.
SpaceX’s Starship and NASA’s Artemis Program
While there are numerous ideas and proposals on how to develop space habitats, two notable projects currently leading the way are SpaceX’s Starship and NASA’s Artemis program. SpaceX’s Starship, designed by Elon Musk’s private aerospace company, aims to revolutionize space travel and eventually colonize Mars. This ambitious goal involves constructing a fully reusable transportation system to ferry astronauts, cargo, and resources in regular spaceflights to the Red Planet. On the other hand, NASA’s Artemis program has its sights set on returning humans to the Moon by 2024, with plans to establish a sustainable lunar base by 2028. This lunar outpost, referred to as the Artemis Base Camp, will act as a staging point, allowing scientists to explore and utilize lunar resources while also serving as a proving ground for future human missions to Mars and beyond.
International Cooperation in Space Exploration
In addition to ongoing efforts by SpaceX and NASA, numerous international space agencies and commercial organizations have collaborated to advance space colonization and cooperative lunar exploration. Projects like the Lunar Gateway, a proposed orbital outpost near the Moon, will foster international partnerships by providing a centralized location for research, assembly, and communications. Furthermore, current advancements such as innovative extraterrestrial agriculture techniques and 3D printing technologies hold the potential to enable societies to become self-sufficient in space. As a result, the dream of living in space edges closer to becoming a reality. With these concerted efforts and increasing interest in space exploration, the prospect of establishing permanent human settlements beyond Earth seems more plausible than ever before.
Daily Life in Space
Daily Life in Space
Existence in space differs significantly from life on Earth in numerous ways. Astronauts, for instance, encounter distinct challenges when it comes to maintaining personal hygiene, as the absence of gravity complicates seemingly simple tasks such as bathing, tooth brushing, and using the toilet. To address these challenges, astronauts utilize no-rinse body wipes, specially designed toothbrushes, and space toilets that rely on air flow instead of gravity for waste disposal. Ensuring a clean environment is crucial due to the enclosed and confined nature of spacecraft, as it aids in preventing illness and preserving the overall well-being of crew members. As technologies and methods for living in space continue to evolve, the prospect of long-term habitation in space becomes increasingly feasible, coalescing with the strides made in international cooperation and space exploration projects.
Food and Nutrition in Space
Food and nutrition also play critical roles in the daily life of astronauts living in space. In the microgravity environment, taste buds are often affected, leading to a preference for spicier and more flavorful foods. Meals are either dehydrated or thermally stabilized and require the addition of water to make them palatable. Calorie and nutritional intake are carefully monitored by mission control to ensure the health and well-being of each crew member. Exercise is equally crucial, as muscle atrophy and bone density loss occur at a faster rate than on Earth. To counteract these effects, astronauts follow a strict daily exercise regimen incorporating cardiovascular and strength training exercises, using specialized equipment such as the Advanced Resistive Exercise Device (ARED).
Mental Health and Emotional Well-being in Space
As we strive to become a spacefaring civilization, it is crucial to address not only the physiological needs but also the mental health and emotional well-being of astronauts and potential inhabitants of space habitats. Building strong morale through entertainment and leisure activities, like watching movies, playing games, and engaging in creative pursuits, becomes an essential part of adapting to the unique environment of space. Establishing reliable communication with loved ones and fellow team members back on Earth is also a critical aspect of living in space, as it provides support through emotional connections and helps to ease the sense of isolation. Gaining insight into these psychological factors will be instrumental in ensuring the success of long-term space living and the establishment of thriving space communities.
Space Agriculture and Resources
Another central challenge in aspiring towards sustainable life in space is the development of reliable and efficient agricultural systems to provide adequate nourishment for inhabitants. Researchers are currently delving into innovative methods of space agriculture, such as hydroponics, aeroponics, and advanced life support systems involving cultivation of plants in controlled environments. These cutting-edge techniques eliminate the need for soil while reducing water consumption substantially. Additionally, studies are underway to determine the optimal adjustments to light, temperature, and carbon dioxide levels, ensuring optimal plant growth in space habitats. These advancements in agricultural technology will be crucial for securing food, oxygen, and water resources for inhabitants of space habitats, greatly improving the viability of human life in space.
Apart from providing food, a sustainable space habitat must also incorporate efficient systems for recycling water and air. Recycling systems are crucial, as it is impractical to transport vast amounts of resources from Earth. A promising solution for water recycling is the use of bio-filtration, which involves using plants and microorganisms to filter, purify, and recycle water while reducing the need for mechanical systems.
Air recycling technologies, on the other hand, focus on capturing and recycling CO2, a byproduct of human respiration, through methods like the Sabatier process, which combines CO2 with hydrogen to produce methane and water. The implementation of these systems ensures that adequate oxygen and water are available to support the inhabitants of space habitats.
Efficient and sustainable resource extraction in space is crucial for the dream of living beyond Earth. Researchers are exploring the potential of utilizing resources from celestial bodies, such as the Moon or asteroids, through in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). ISRU involves mining and processing raw materials found on extraterrestrial bodies to produce valuable resources such as water, oxygen, and even construction materials.
By extracting and utilizing these resources, future space habitats could lessen their reliance on Earth-based supplies and develop a more sustainable way of living in space. Furthermore, these advancements in space agriculture, resource extraction, and recycling technologies are poised to make our dream of living in space a reality.
Space Economy and Industry
The Space Economy
Several potential industries could thrive in space habitats, directly influencing and benefiting from advancements in space resource extraction and sustainability.
Private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are working on developing commercial spacecraft capable of taking ordinary people to the edge of space, allowing them to experience breathtaking views of Earth and the thrill of weightlessness. As technology advances and space travel becomes more accessible, we can expect to see space hotels and other amenities designed to accommodate tourists eager to explore beyond our planet.
Many asteroids are known to contain vast quantities of valuable resources like metals and water, which can potentially be extracted and used to support space habitats or even supplied back to Earth. The prospect of mining valuable resources in space could lead to the creation of new jobs and industries dedicated to exploring and exploiting previously untapped celestial bodies.
In addition, scientific research will be instrumental in developing space habitats and furthering our understanding of the universe. Space-based laboratories capable of carrying out experiments in microgravity can provide valuable insights into fields such as materials science, medicine, and biology.
Implications for Earth and Humankind
Developing a space-based economy has significant implications for Earth and humankind. As we push the boundaries of space travel, we may discover new technological advancements and innovations that can improve life on our planet. One example is space-based solar power, which involves collecting energy from the sun and transmitting it back to Earth via satellites. This could provide a consistent and clean energy source to power the ever-growing global population.
Social and Cultural Aspects
Another fascinating aspect of living in space is the formation of new communities and cultures as people from different nations and backgrounds come together to inhabit extraterrestrial environments. The unique challenges and opportunities presented by space living, such as isolation, zero-gravity, and cosmic radiation, could lead to the development of innovative social systems and shared experiences that bond residents together. Over time, these new communities may generate distinct dialects or languages due to their isolation from Earth-based societies and the unique terms and expressions required to describe life in space. This linguistic evolution, combined with the blending of various Earth-based cultures, could result in intriguing cultural exchanges and enrichment.
Ethical considerations and governance structures must be properly addressed in order to maintain a harmonious balance among diverse communities in space. As the dream of living in space becomes reality, complex ethical questions could arise, including resource allocation, reproductive rights, and immigration policies. It is essential to establish fair and efficient governance systems that address these issues while ensuring that the rights and well-being of all inhabitants are protected. Consequently, forming space communities might contribute to the creation of new governance models that could even potentially inspire improvements to terrestrial systems.
Living in space offers numerous opportunities for individuals and societies to gain fresh perspectives on Earth and the cosmos. As humans adapt to life outside of our planet and come to appreciate the fragility of Earth’s biosphere, a heightened sense of environmental stewardship may emerge. Furthermore, intercultural exchanges within space-based communities could encourage mutual understanding and collaboration among diverse populations, enriching global cultures and fostering a sense of unity among humankind. As generations are born and raised in space, their thoughts, experiences, and values will undoubtedly contribute to the ever-evolving cultural landscape, ultimately shaping humanity’s collective future.
Health and Well-being in Space
Despite the potential benefits, there are significant challenges to overcome in the pursuit of long-term space residency, particularly regarding human health. One primary concern is exposure to radiation, which presents considerable health risks. Space radiation is composed of high-energy particles emitted by the sun and galactic cosmic rays originating from outside the solar system. These particles can damage DNA, increasing the risk of cancer, cataracts, and other radiation-related illnesses. Researchers are actively exploring potential solutions to mitigate these risks, including the development of shielding materials, advanced spacesuits, and even radiation-protective pharmaceuticals.
Microgravity, the low-gravity environment experienced in space, also has a profound impact on the human body. In microgravity, bodily fluids shift upwards, leading to changes in our cardiovascular, muscular, and skeletal systems. Bone and muscle loss are common side effects that can affect astronauts’ ability to perform tasks and increase the risk of injury, both in space and upon returning to Earth. To counteract these effects, astronauts undergo comprehensive exercise regimens and follow strict nutritional guidelines. Researchers are also exploring how artificial gravity, such as that generated by rotating habitats, could help maintain human health in a space environment.
Mental health is another crucial aspect of well-being in space, as astronauts may experience isolation, confinement, and altered sleep patterns. The lack of a natural day-night cycle can disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to sleep disorders and mood changes. To address these challenges, experts are working on developing advanced lighting systems and psychological support strategies. Medical care in space is another essential consideration, as astronauts might require medical attention for injuries or other health issues during their stay. Telemedicine and robotic surgeries are among the technologies being studied to provide effective healthcare in space.
In conclusion, understanding and addressing the physical and psychological effects of long-term space residency is vital for successfully establishing human settlements in space and realizing the dream of living beyond Earth.
As humanity boldly takes its next steps into the cosmos, the prospect of living in space is becoming more and more realistic. It will require exceptional innovation, dedication, and collaboration to make these dreams come true. With continued exploration, research, and technological advancements, we pave the way for a future of greater understanding and unity among humans, both on Earth and beyond. | aerospace |

You have to give it to Mike Malin. He tried.
A couple of years ago, the planetary scientist who’s arguably the world’s foremost expert on Martian photography tried to convince NASA to include 3D video capability on the Curiosity lander that’s scheduled to touch down on Mars just after 1:30 am Eastern Monday morning. The 3D version of Malin’s Mastcam camera, as proposed by Avatar and Titanic director James Cameron, would have given us a “you-are-there” feeling of riding along with the rover as it trekked around the planet.
For defensible reasons, NASA decided not to include it.
But another Malin-built camera called MARDI — which, amazingly, was also initially axed by NASA cost-cutters — survived (barely — Malin had to put in his own money), and will film the rover’s descent as it drops to the Martian surface. Here’s NASA’s description of how it will work:
During the final few minutes of Curiosity’s flight to the surface of Mars, the Mars Descent Imager, or MARDI, will record a full-color video of the ground below. This will provide the Mars Science Laboratory team with information about the landing site and its surroundings, to aid interpretation of the rover’s ground-level views and planning of initial drives. Hundreds of the images taken by the camera will show features smaller than what can be discerned in images taken from orbit. The video will also give fans worldwide an unprecedented sense of riding a spacecraft to a landing on Mars.
MARDI will record the video on its own 8-gigabyte flash memory at about four frames per second and close to 1,600 by 1,200 pixels per frame. Thumbnails and a few samples of full-resolution frames will be transmitted to Earth in the first few days after landing….The full video — available first from the thumbnails in YouTube-like resolution and later in full detail — will begin with a glimpse of the heat shield falling away from beneath the rover. The first views of the ground will cover an area several kilometers (a few miles) across. Successive frames taken as the vehicle descends will close in and cover successively smaller areas. The video will likely nod up and down to fairly large angles owing to parachute-induced oscillations.
Many of the images may also be blurry, due to the motion of the camera. But hey, it’s video of a Mars landing, people!
I totally get that NASA has to draw the line somewhere at what to pack for its Mars expeditions, and Curiosity‘s managers struggled mightily even to stay within a bloated budget of $2.5 billion. But watch this video of the Huygens spacecraft descending to Titan’s surface in 2005, and tell me you don’t want to see the same thing (or hopefully better) on Mars.
August 6 update: Here’s a lo-res, incomplete version of the MARDI descent video. A much better version will eventually be released.

Add two more stripes to this ingenious chart showing all the attempts over the past 50 years to send spacecraft to Mars. Let’s hope that the stripe for the Curiosity Mars Science Laboratory, which launched successfully on Saturday, reaches all the way to the surface of the planet.
Sadly, the stripe for Russia’s Phobos-Grunt Mars spacecraft, currently incommunicado in Earth orbit, appears doomed to end at the outside, “fail” ring, which may also spell the end of the country’s planetary program.
The apparent demise of Phobos-Grunt got me reading up on the history of Russian Mars exploration, looking for stories from happier days. I hadn’t known about PrOP-M, the first rover (or maybe crawler is a better word) launched to Mars. It ended up failing , too, but it would have been fun to watch had it succeeded.
By 1971 the Soviets had already landed one Lunokhod rover on the moon’s surface. The 10-pound PROP-M, included as a payload on the Mars 3 lander launched in May 1971, was much more modest. After Mars 3 touched down, the rover, attached to a 15-meter umbilical cord, was designed to shuffle away from the lander on two ski-like contraptions. The video below (queued up here at the 3:51 mark) shows how the rover maneuvered itself. Unfortunately, Mars 3 went silent immediately after it touched down, and PROP-M was never heard from again. NASA didn’t land its own rover on Mars until 1997, when Sojourner rolled off of the Mars Pathfinder.
When Curiosity touches down on Mars next August, it should tip its electronic head in the direction of PROP-M, wherever it lies on the unforgiving plains of Mars.
November 4, 2011
Mars has not been a happy place for the Russian space program. The nation’s attempts to explore the Red Planet, going back more than 50 years, have produced a long litany of failures. The most recent misfire came 15 years ago, when the instrument-laden Mars 96 probe, instead of heading out into the solar system, burned up in the atmosphere and scattered pieces over Chile and Bolivia.
That crash effectively put the Russian planetary program out of business — until now.
On Tuesday a Zenit rocket is scheduled to lift off from Kazakhstan to start the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft on its 10-month voyage to Mars. If all goes well, on Valentine’s Day of 2013, after several months of circling the planet, the lander will touch down on the surface of the moon Phobos to start collecting samples of dirt (“grunt” in Russian). Four days later, a return vehicle will lift off in the moon’s low gravity and bring the samples back to Earth.
We’ll have more details on the Phobos-Grunt mission next week. Meanwhile, here’s some background from Anatoly Zak, the author of our 2008 article, and an animation (with Russian subtitles) from the Roscosmos space agency that shows how it’s all supposed to go.

Cue the Lawrence of Arabia theme. Actually, I prefer the soundtrack that the Mars Exploration Rover team used for this time-lapse video showing Opportunity’s 13-mile trek from Victoria crater to Endeavour crater. They took accelerometer data from the rover and converted it to audible sound, which gets louder when the robot is moving over rocky ground, and quieter when it’s crossing sand dunes. The trip to Endeavour took three years, compressed here to three minutes. Here’s a view from Opportunity‘s navigation camera, taken just last Monday. | aerospace |

Deliveries were more than four percent higher than the previous record of 688 set in 2016. The 2017 total comprises: 558 single aisle A320 Family (of which 181 were A320neo – an increase of 166 percent over 2016); 67 A330s; 78 A350 XWBs (up by nearly 60 percent from 2016) and 15 A380s. Furthermore, to cap this resounding annual production achievement, Airbus achieved 1,109 net orders from 44 customers. At the end of 2017 Airbus’ overall backlog stood at 7,265 aircraft valued at US$1.059 trillion at list prices.
Fabrice Brégier, Airbus Chief Operating Officer and President Commercial Aircraft commented: “A new Airbus delivery record coupled with our fourth best order intake wraps up a remarkable year for us. This outstanding achievement is testimony to the dedication of all our teams, and makes the company fitter, stronger and ready for the opportunities ahead.”
With this year’s performance Airbus has steadily built on deliveries year on year – with 15 consecutive years of production increase. From its four A320 Family plants in Hamburg, Tianjin, Mobile, and Toulouse, Airbus is on track to achieve rate 60 per month on single-aisle by mid-2019. Meanwhile, the A350 XWB is equally on track for rate 10 by the end 2018. Airbus’ healthy order intake in 2017 resulted in a ‘book-to-bill’ ratio of 1.5.
There were many industrial milestones achieved by Airbus Commercial Aircraft in 2017, which included: delivery of the 100th A350 XWB; the delivery of the 50th A320 Family aircraft from our FAL in Mobile; delivery of Emirates’ 100th A380; first flight of the A330neo; certification of the A350-1000; first A321neos delivered with CFM and P&W engines; inauguration of the new A330 Completion and Delivery Centre in Tianjin, China, with two first deliveries; and structural completion of the first Beluga XL.

Assistant Commandant for Capability (CG-7)
Office of Aviation Forces (CG-711)
The USCG has been flying HC-130J aircraft since the first aircraft was delivered in 2003 and went into initial operational capability in 2008. There are currently six HC-130J aircraft in the USCG inventory with an additional three on order through the manufacturer. All operational aircraft are based at the air station in Elizabeth City, NC, and operate primarily off the eastern seaboard. The HC-130J aircraft are worldwide deployable and can often be found supporting counter-narcotics operations in the Eastern Pacific, long range Search and Rescue in the Atlantic, or marine safety missions operating International Ice Patrol from Newfoundland, Canada.
The HC-130J aircraft has a unique mission system suite installed on the aircraft. The mission system suite includes a two operator workstation on the flight deck, a nose-mounted EO/IR pod, a belly-mounted surface search radar, as well as other communication and surveillance sensors.
The HC-130J is a major upgrade from the legacy C-130’s employed by the USCG since 1959. The cockpit avionics upgrades, coupled with more efficient engine and propeller designs, allow the aircraft to fly higher, get on scene faster, stay on scene longer and fly safer than any other fixed wing aircraft in the USCG inventory. This allows for significant savings in terms of operational and logistical costs.
The USCG plans to replace all older model HC-130H aircraft with HC-130J aircraft by 2027.
The C-130H is a mainstay of the United States Coast Guard air fleet.
The Coast Guard's fleet currently includes 22 HC-130H, two HC-130H with the Avionics One Upgrade (A1U), and six HC-130J models of the famous Hercules, widely recognized as the West's premier military transport.
The Coast Guard's history with the "Herc" dates to 1958, when it first ordered the R8V-1G (HC-130B) model, (now retired.) The configuration of these aircraft is suitable for a variety of missions.
The four-engine, high-wing aircraft can carry 92 passengers, although the usual number is 44, with 14 web seats and pallets with 15 airline-style seats each. The HC-130H can also carry 51,000 pounds of cargo, rescue, or oil-pollution-control equipment.
Operated by a crew of seven (7), the HC-130H can airdrop life rafts or dewatering pumps, or dispersant for oil pollution control.
A newly acquired maritime patrol aircraft, the Ocean Sentry will fly reconnaissance for Coast Guard lifesaving and interdiction missions, replacing the aging HU-25 fleet.
From The Shield of Freedom, 2006: The HC-144A "Ocean Sentry" is a Maritime Patrol Aircraft produced by the Spanish subsidiary of the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co. (EADS). First unveiled in 2006, the CN-235A (official USCG designation HC-144A) is currently being produced and delivered to the Coast Guard.
The aircraft were certified as the all-around Coast Guard choice for its Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) by then Commandant Adm. Thomas Collins, in 2003. They are part of the Deepwater program, an extensive acquisition overhaul that touches the entire Coast Guard fleet of operational forces.
The HC-144A will assume Coast Guard medium range surveillance and transport requirements, replacing the HU-25 and some HC-130s. The Ocean Sentry has the capability to perform aerial delivery of search and rescue equipment such as rafts, pumps, and flares, and it can serve as an on-scene commander platform for homeland security missions, since it is outfitted with the IDS Command and Control (C2) System, and the state-of-the-art C4ISR suite of sensors and avionics. The aircraft will be particularly effective at locating targets in a large search area, and vectoring prosecution assets to the targets.
The HC-144As modern C4ISR suite, modular cabin, miserly fuel consumption rate, and short field takeoff and landing capability make it uniquely suited for USCG missions.
Aviations’ Avionics & Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) program has been established to support capability development and integration on all aviation platforms, units and for flight operations.
Avionics consists of the electrical and electronic systems used to communicate, navigate, fly the aircraft, monitor aircraft systems, safety & emergency systems, and provide air traffic surveillance. The C4ISR component includes all the electrical and electronic tactical mission systems: sensors, mission processors, communications, displays and interfaces.
The program evaluates emerging avionics and C4ISR technologies supporting aviation program goals. The Avionics and C4ISR program staff meets with government, scholastic and industry experts to review new technology and identify mission appropriate applications. Essential information is provided to senior leadership, including technology briefs, cost-benefit analysis and resource proposals for required capital expenditures. The avionics and C4ISR program coordinates multi-million dollar aircraft modifications and upgrades. These projects include the development of operational requirements and refining technical specifications based on mission parameters, defining overall project scope, outlining objectives and identifying risk, providing technical input for acquisition contracts, and preparing project schedules and milestones. The program supports development of policy for the employment, training and support of all avionics and aviation C4ISR systems and inventory. It also assists in the development of fleet-wide training requirements, reviews proposed curricula, and provides crew manning recommendations.
CG aviation is in the midst of a major avionics and C4ISR technology growth period. Vast leaps in aviation capability are coming from this technology. New life saving SAR technology such as 406Mhz direction finding, Digital Selective Calling receivers, & Radars that can display Search and rescue transponders. Sensors that can find targets in all weather and at night, and mission processors and communications that can share information in a net-centric manner are being developed and employed. The program is focused on planning, developing and implementing systems in a standardized and integrated manner for affordability and increased operational efficiency and effectiveness.
The Coast Guard operates two long-range Gulfstream V as its principal Command and Control transport for travel by the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard Commandant, and other U.S. Officials. On lone flights, the C-37A can carry 12 passengers and a crew of four going Mach .80 at 51,000 feet cruising altitude, all with considerable fuel efficiency. The C-37A enjoys commonality of parts and supplies with more than a dozen C-37As operated by the Department of Defense. | aerospace |

The satellites onboard VV16 are in two categories: seven primary micro-satellites with a mass of 25 to 145 kg.; and 46 nano-satellites with a mass of 250 g. to 7 kg. The first seven satellites were released between the mission’s 40th and 52nd minute, while the remaining 46 were deployed during a sequence of less than three minutes, occurring 1 hour, 42 minutes after liftoff. Among these 53 satellites, certain spacecraft will be dedicated to Earth observation, with innovative projects such as GHGSAT-C1, a Canadian satellite at the service of air quality; or ION Satellite Carrier Lucas for the Planet company. OSM-1 CICERO is the first satellite from Orbital Solutions Monaco, a Monegasque start-up; while ESAIL is the first commercial microsatellite developed under the European Space Agency’s SAT-AIS program for tracking ships. Several experimental satellites also were on board Vega, such as TARS from the Kepler company, which is dedicated to the Internet of Things; as well as the 14 satellites from Swarm Technology, an American start-up whose mission is the use of artificial intelligence in robots and computers. With the demonstration of its new SSMS service, Arianespace is strengthening its position in the growing market for small satellites. This service will soon be supplemented by the MLS (Multi Launch Service) – a similar offer available on Ariane 6, allowing Arianespace to increase the number of affordable launch opportunities for small satellites and constellations. | aerospace |

They have launched a special test mission, sending a pair of satellites into space to remove the hazardous debris orbiting our planet.
The technology is called “ELSA-d ‘, which stands for Astroscale Demonstration End-of-Life Services. The rocket carrying the satellites took off on March 22 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
Experts have long warned that the roughly 9,200 tonnes of space debris surrounding the planet pose a threat to the satellites we depend on for weather reports, air travel, and global communications.
The problem could get worse as private companies like SpaceX, Google and OneWeb prepare to send a flurry of new satellites into space.
What will happen during the test mission?
The mission is putting two spacecraft into orbit: a service satellite to collect debris and a client satellite to impersonate the debris.
The servicer satellite has been developed to safely remove debris from orbit, using proximity technologies and a magnetic coupling mechanism. The client satellite is a replica of space debris equipped with a plate that allows docking.
Throughout the summer, ELSA-d will repeatedly launch and dock with the customer in a series of technical demonstrations, showing how it could find and dock defunct satellites and other debris.
“What ELSA-d uses is a rigid robotic arm, so to speak, that locks onto magnetically and can do all six degrees of freedom. So up, down, left, right, back and forth, and all the rotations “. explains Chris Walker, principal spacecraft operations engineer.
“So by putting a prepared client with a very lightweight magnetic docking plate, that allows ELSA-d to capture, attach and then control it.
Demonstrations will include finding the customer, inspecting and meeting them, and landing with both cartwheels and no falls, something Walker and his colleagues call the “dance mode.”

One lucky Saturday the clouds opened up a bit to let us catch a bit of sunlight. Knowing there weren’t any clouds in the alps, we headed toward them for a $100 fondue.
The alps holding back the clouds for our visual approach at Saanen. 🙂 And since this is all about pictures… I won’t talk too much. 😉
The fondue, mission accomplished!
As it was getting dark early we went back to the airplane. We were not sure if the clouds allowed us to descend back to our homebase. The lady from ground service ensured us we were welcome to come back if things didn’t work out. But we’ve been lucky and went back below the overcast at Lausanne.
The pilot’s licence is just worth it, no doubt. After this flight I count 137 hours on aeroplanes. Now, my plan towards the commercial licence is to gain experience and enjoy flying until I have at least 200 hours. Then it’s time for America and to make sure I am well within Practical Test Standards. Plus there’s the Instrument Rating, and, and, and… looking forward to it. | aerospace |

Estimated Technology Readiness Level (TRL) at beginning and end of contract:
TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words)
We propose to develop a compact, robust, optically-based sensor for local and remote sensing of oxygen (O2) at 1.26 µm, carbon dioxide (CO2) at 1.56 µm and other species in spectral region of up to 2ìm with accuracy of the order of 0.5 1 ppm, allowing a very high out-of-band rejection of spurious solar background radiation. This sensor will utilize a widely tunable narrowband optical filter in conjunction with a wideband optical source (sun light or a commercially available broadband source) in combination with built-in calibration laser diode to make absorption measurements as well as evaluate atmospheric parameters such as pressure, temperature and density. Proposed instrumentation can be valuable for NASAs ASCENDS program with broad scope applications in the measurement of atmospheric parameters and multi-species concentration measurement including CO2. Instrumentation will be environmentally rugged and compact and will possess auto-calibration capabilities, fast response time (microseconds to milliseconds range) and low-power consumption. Phase I work will involve building and characterizing a complete laboratory scale system so that a final system can be constructed in Phase II. TRL range at onset of Phase I is 2 at end 3-4; Phase 2 at onset 4 at end 5-6.
POTENTIAL NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
There are many commercial and military applications for an accurate and rugged laser absorption system capable of acting as a pressure, temperature and/or concentration sensor. The sensor could be used in both new and retrofit commercial aircraft as a control sensor for propulsion systems, in industry and environmental monitoring as sensitive gas leak sensor, as concentration mapping sensor both for local and remote sensing applications, including on mobile platforms. Furthermore, due to the wide filter tuneability, the built-in calibration and the variety of possible wideband light sources; this sensor could replace Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors in a number of applications as there is a demonstrable advantage in system cost, complexity, and operation.
POTENTIAL NON-NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
This type of sensor can also be used to monitor the combustion efficiency in terrestrial gas turbine and high-pressure combustion systems where a rugged sensor with long operating life characteristics is needed. Also it is possible to use this sensor for real-time biological measurements as the system can also be used as a Fraunhofer Line Discriminator Spectrometer for sub-angstrom remote sensing of fluorescence emission in the Fraunhofer line wavelengths. Finally, large and complex molecules that have extremely broad absorption signatures could be fully resolved with this sensor, with application to national security sensing of weapons and explosives.
NASA's technology taxonomy has been developed by the SBIR-STTR program to disseminate awareness of proposed and awarded R/R&D in the agency. It is a listing of over 100 technologies, sorted into broad categories, of interest to NASA.

It was founded in November 2011 and unfortunately had to end its operation in March 2019.
Wow Air did not offer inflight WiFi or any inflight entertainment. They were well-known for their cheap flight rates and had maintained stable airline journeys throughout European destinations.
Wow Air did not offer any WiFi service to their passengers, and it was known for the cheap rates. Founded by Icelandic entrepreneur Skúli Mogensen, Wow Air’s branding was based as a “happy low-fare long-haul airline based in Iceland.”
|Operation||November 2011 to March 2019|
|Social Media||Facebook |
In March 2019, Wow Air stopped all its operations unannounced, which left thousands of passengers stuck in Icelandic airport Keflavik Airport and also in other passengers across Europe and North America.
It is said that that sudden rise in the fuel costs was the main reason for the fall out of this popular airline. As Wow Air was already offering their passengers the lowest possible price, their profits were already thin.
However, the CEO of Wow Air did try to maintain their services by injecting 5.5 million euros from his own account into the company. But the losses were too big.

The Rafale aircraft which have already arrived in Ambala would start ferrying to the Hashimara air base in next few days and the squadron would get operational by July 26, government sources told ANI here.
The 101 squadron would be mainly responsible for looking after the eastern frontier with China-based in Hashimara while the 17 squadron in Ambala would be looking after the Northern borders with China in Ladakh and other areas along with Pakistan.
The Air Force has received around 25 aircraft from France and more are expected to be delivered in the next few months out of the 36 planes that India had ordered in 2016.
The planes have already been operationalised in the service within few days of their arrival in July and they have already been deployed for air patrols along the eastern front with China.
The new squadron would be functioning with the fleet of Su-30 squadrons already deployed in the eastern sector in significant numbers.
India is now planning to place orders for 114 multirole fighter aircraft along with the indigenously developed stealth fighters Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft whose seven squadrons would join the Air Force in the next 15-20 years.
After the planes were formally inducted in September, the second set of Rafale fighter jets reached India in November. The twin-engine Rafale jets are capable of carrying out a variety of missions of ground and sea attack, air defence and air superiority, reconnaissance, and nuclear strike deterrence. | aerospace |

CAS Aerospace Facility Is Subsidiary Of CAS Entered A Joint Decision In 2019 To Construct Nansha Science City In A 99-Square-Kilometer
There is a proposed rocket assembly plant at the CAS Space launch facility. The facility is better identified among locals as the Zhongke Aerospace launch site situated In Nansha, Guangzhou’; the proposed launch site happens to be at the capital province of Guangdong, The CAS Aerospace Facility is a subsidiary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that entered a joint decision in 2019 to construct the Nansha Science City in a 99-square-kilometer. The project collaborates between the Aerospace facility and local authorities to set up the Zhongke Aerospace center. This venture’s overarching goal is to encourage and inspire creativity in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.
Recent findings show that the CAS Space mission work was officially launched on the Chinese September 29. The project is a continuation of the move to combine research and development, manufacturing with final assembly and tests and analysis. The proposal aims to be able to manufacture 30 rocket components annually. The Beijing Zhongke Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., also known as CAS Space, recently confirmed reports that it plans to prioritize development and land its solid rockets before launching research into more sophisticated projects like liquid propellant launchers are developed. Earlier on, China saw two of its significant and more developed aerospace companies, Land space and space, shift to begin working on their first liquid-methanated oxygen-based launchers in 2021.
December 2018 saw the launch of the CAS site. The site operators have plans to deploy the rocket in 2021, once it has tested the engines. Top engineers state that the launch vehicle will be capable of lifting 1.5 tons into lower earth orbit. The launchpad has the potential of becoming China’s biggest space launch facility well expected to exceed CASC ‘s Long March 11 and CASIC’s Kuaizhou 11. The liquid launcher series offers the capacity to be reused. The demonstration included grid fins and landing legs that remain the focus of what will be reusable. The new capability is expected to be revolutionary across the ZK series. ZK’s launch capacities weigh from one to 15 tonnes into low earth orbit when configured with three-core rockets.
The prospect holds a lot of promise for Chinese based space launchers. Its developers hope to set it as one of the excellent space launch centres capable of handling extensive payloads into low earth orbit. These innovations have the potential of reducing the required launches per year if they succeed
