Regular aircraft inspections are necessary to maintain the continued airworthiness of any aircraft.
When a new aircraft is being designed and produced, the aviation authority, the manufacturer, and selected industry participants form groups called maintenance steering groups (MSG) and industry steering committees (ISC).
These groups, through numerous meetings determine the frequency and scope of aircraft inspections to be peformed. This information is provided to another group called the maintenance review board (MRB).
The MRB will issue their final recommendations to the manufacturer on how an aircraft should be maintained.
The manufacturer then publishes this information in maintenance planning documents to be provided to the customer.
For small private aircraft the aircraft owner usually follows the inspections and maintenance practices published by the manufacturer.
For airline or commercial operators, the recommendations of the MRB are used to develop a Continuous Airworthiness Maintenance Program (CAMP), which is then approved by the FAA.
The CAMP outlines the amount of time between aircraft inspections and how often aircraft components need to be inspected, overhauled or replaced.
Based on an operators experience, they can apply to the FAA for an adjustment of maintenance and inspection intervals.
Though there are different standards for the different periodic inspections, they collectively cover the entire aircraft and aircraft components over a period of time.
This includes inspecting the fuselage, wings, tail, landing gear and wheel well, engines, communications systems, instruments, electrical components, and other areas.
Important items on an inspectors list include looking for signs of corrosion and metal fatigue, as well as leaking or faulty components.
FAR Part 91 requires the inspection of all civil aircraft at specific intervals to determine the overall condition. Those intervals are based on the type of operation the aircraft is used for. The aircraft must also be maintained in an airworthy condition (referred to as continued airworthiness) between those required inspections.
Most small aircraft need to be inspected after each 100 hours of operation with at least one inspection each 12-calendar months. Some owners elect to inspect their aircraft in accordance with an inspection system set up to provide for total inspection of the aircraft on the basis of calendar time, time in service, number of system operations, or any combination of these.
All inspections should follow the current manufacturer's maintenance manual, including the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness concerning inspection intervals, parts replacement, and life-limited items as applicable to the aircraft.
Large Aircraft Checks
While all aircraft have periodic inspections, large aircraft have to go through an extensive inspection process, also referred to as “checks.” There are several checks that need to be done according to calendar dates, flight hours, or flight cycles. A flight cycle is one flight, with a take-off and landing.
The manufacturer determines what each check will be called, but the following are typical checks using letters to identify them.
An A-check is a light routine inspection. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a D-check is the most intensive, long-term check.
For more information and updates regarding aircraft inspections, sign-up for our free Newsletter.
- A-checks are performed at around 500 flight hours (FH). This is a routine check, to make sure everything is functioning safely and efficiently. It can usually be completed overnight at an airport gate, and can even be delayed if an aircraft meets certain predetermined conditions.
- B-checks are more extensive than A checks, but can also be completed overnight.
- C-checks require aircraft to be docked at a hangar or repair station for detailed inspections. These are generally performed every 12-18 months, depending on the type of aircraft and the manufacturer’s specifications.
- D-checks are done approximately every 4-5 years, and are the most intensive, time-consuming aircraft inspection. The aircraft needs to have every fastener, nut, wire, hinge, and component inspected, repaired, maintained, or replaced.
Because of the high cost and length of time required, older planes may not be worth going through this process, and will be scrapped for parts. The phasing out of old aircraft is necessary for the introduction of newer, safer aircraft and aircraft components. | aerospace |

While many people choose this adventure as a hobby or even a profession, they may not be aware of the intricacies of owning and maintaining an aircraft, including purchasing aviation liability insurance coverage. It’s important to realize that four factors impact the premium of aviation policies.
As with all insurance, a higher deductible will translate to a lower premium. However, it’s important to weigh the potential financial risk in the event of an accident against the overall premium saved.
The cost of insurance will also depend on the number of passengers who will fly in the aircraft. Since the pilot would be liable for their death or injuries, higher-capacity planes mean higher insurance premiums.
Pilots are rated based on how experienced they are, making insurance costly for new pilots. The only way to combat high rates for an inexperienced pilot is to get out there and fly.
Premium is also based on the relative risk associated with the type of aircraft that will be flown. The safer and more stable the aircraft is, the lower the premiums often are.
Flight is a modern marvel and a wonderful pastime for those lucky enough to get the opportunity to do it. However, it also comes at a steep cost when certain factors impact insurance premiums. | aerospace |
https://www.asprosurprise.com/what-is-the-difference-between-interline-agreements-and-codeshare-agreements/ | 2024-04-17T21:33:51 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817181.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417204934-20240417234934-00590.warc.gz | 0.961013 | 649 | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-18__0__48316306 | en | Let`s briefly discuss these four types of agreements: Traditional small carriers typically have interline agreements with large network carriers that serve their markets. Most new low-cost airlines that only sell directly to consumers (and not through global agencies or distribution systems) do not support interline at all. The downside of an interline agreement is that passengers cannot earn frequent flyer miles for the entire trip. On the Emirates flight, for example, Skywards Miles would only be earned on the Dubai-Mexico city portion of the flight, not on the rest of the trip. For example, easyJet`s IATA code is U2. As for « codeshare » with Ryanair (as would ever happen), some Ryanair flights would have a flight number starting with U2 instead of FR. Thank you for explaining code sharing and line spacing. I had another question about that. Can you tell me the difference between interline partnership and strategic partnership (e.B. QF and EK)? Are they the same? In a codeshare agreement, two or more airlines use the same flight number in a mutually beneficial agreement. This means that passengers can purchase a flight from one airline using their flight number for a flight with another airline. For example, you can buy a seat on an airplane under one airline, but it will actually be a seat on another airline`s plane that has the same flight number or code. Codeshares often take place within alliances like OneWorld or SkyTeam, but not always.
You`ll know if your flight will be part of a codeshare, as it will appear as « Operated by » in Alternative Airlines` search results. Below is an example of a codeshare agreement, a finnAir flight operated by British Airways and an American Airlines flight operated by British Airways. Therefore, there is codeshare between FinnAir and British Airways and between American Airlines and British Airways. When a passenger makes an interline flight, their luggage moves with them from one flight to another and when they check in for the first flight, it means that they have also checked in for all flights. Perhaps the simplest way is to explain it in the form of an example. Air Canada is part of Star Alliance and Cathay Pacific is part of oneworld. However, they have made the joint decision to share codes at both ends of their flights between Canada and Hong Kong: there is currently no airline that allows smoking on their planes, whether they are part of a codeshare or not. One of the most recently announced codeshares, for example, is between Lufthansa and Vistara.
Lufthansa flies to Delhi, but no longer has a network in India. With this codeshare, passengers can book directly from any Lufthansa destination to a number of new cities in India, including Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Goa, Hyderabad, Kochi and Pune. This is a further development of an earlier interline agreement between the two airlines, which means a deeper relationship. More recently, however, airlines have looked at what can be called creeping code sharing, including code-sharing with another airline, even if they operate the route themselves. . | aerospace |

The general similarity to the Meteor gives away the fact that this was Britain’s first jet bomber, and of the same vintage as that first jet fighter. The Canberra entered RAF service in 1951, and it saw a multitude of roles, from bomber to reconnaissance, from electronic warfare to target tug. It remained in service until 2006 when it was stood down at RAF Marham. The FS9/FSX aircraft featured is from Flying Stations.

And now the company is taking another step forward in its ‘Prime Air’ project, this week filing a request with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for permission to test its small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) in locations outside of the FAA’s designated testing sites for commercial operators.
In the request, Amazon says that current rules mean that up to now it’s been forced to conduct test flights either indoors or in other countries. Now that the project has advanced, it wants to start testing outdoors at its R&D base near Seattle.
The letter, penned by Amazon VP of global public policy Paul Misener, offers up a few details on those project advancements, saying they’re now experimenting with eighth- and ninth-generation flying systems, with progress made in the areas of “agility, flight duration, redundancy, and sense‐and‐avoid sensors and
The latest iteration of its Prime Air machine can travel more than 50 mph and can carry 5-pound payloads, which, according to Misener, covers 86 percent of all products sold on Amazon.
The VP argues that granting Amazon permission to test outdoors in the US is in the public interest as “it advances Congress’s goal of getting commercial sUAS flying in the United States safely and soon.”
He even makes the bold claim that “one day, seeing Amazon Prime Air will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today.”
It reassured the FAA that all testing would be done on private property with only Amazon employees and contract personnel present.
“Granting this request will do nothing more than allow Amazon to do what thousands of hobbyists and manufacturers of model aircraft do every day, and we will abide by much stronger safety measures than currently required for these groups by FAA policies and regulations,” Misener said.
The request is further evidence that Amazon is making steady progress with its plan to get packages to customers “in 30 minutes or less using aerial vehicles,” though the company will likely have many more regulatory hoops to jump through before it has any hope of getting its service off the ground.

NAS Pensacola got its start in January 1914, when the first naval aviators arrived on its shores. And the National Naval Aviation Museum at NAS Pensacola was founded in 1962 and has resided in its current location since 1974. Its mission is “to select, collect, preserve and display” appropriate memorabilia representative of the development, growth, and historic heritage of United States Naval Aviation, including the United States Marine Corp and United States Coast Guard. The museum has nearly 1,000 aircraft in its collection, with approximately 150 on display. The rest are on loan to other museums in the United States as well as six foreign countries. The museum also has another 60 or so aircraft stored on the base flightline awaiting restoration. The museum has a massive collection of over 34,000 artifacts, with only about 9 percent of them on display. The museum’s main building is huge, but not huge enough to house the museum’s collection, so the original building was expanded and the Hangar Bay One building was added later. As you enter the World War I area, you come upon the U.S. Navy/Curtiss NC-4 Flying Boat display. In 1919, the NC-4 became the first aircraft to cross the Atlantic. It has been on loan from the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum since 1975. A rare Messerschmitt 262 “Schwalbe” sits in the WWII section. The Schwalbe was the world’s first operational jet fighter. Despite its brief time in combat with a debut in August 1944, the Schwalbe proved superior to any allied fighter at the time. This particular aircraft had been converted to a two-seat aircraft. It was captured in Schleswig, Germany, and Army Air Corps pilots made familiarization flights in the Schwalbe prior to it being shipped to the Naval Air Test Center Patuxent River Maryland for evaluation. It arrived at the museum in 2010. A few of the aircraft displayed at the museum are what can be described as mistakes. The F7U Cutlass manufactured by Chance Vought aircraft of F4U Corsair fame is one of them. Vought F7U “Cutlass.” The F7U was an awful design and responsible for the deaths of four Vought Test Pilots and 21 U.S. Navy Pilots. The aircraft served one cruise aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard and was retired from service. The Cutlass was a hot mess, essentially a tailless, swept wing fighter that was underpowered with many design issues including a long-nose wheel strut that tended to collapse from the impact of carrier landings and a horrendous safety record. A total of 320 were built and over one quarter of the production units built were destroyed in accidents. The “Gutless Cutlass” was responsible for the deaths of four test pilots and 21 U.S. Naval aviators. The Cutlass only served the Navy for about a year before being retired. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy created the TDR-1 Assault Drone. The aircraft was constructed of plywood and aluminum tubing and was capable of delivering a torpedo or 2,000-pound general-purpose bomb. The TDR-1 featured a television guidance system and was essentially the Navy’s first guided missile. The TDR-1 on display here is the only example still in existence. Hangar Bay One Entrance Featuring the RD45L “Que Sera Sera.” This aircraft equipped with skis attached to its landing gear and JATO bottles to assist takeoff is the first aircraft to land at the South Pole. The F9F Panther represents a lot of firsts. It was Grumman Aircraft’s first jet-powered fighter. It was the first jet-powered aircraft flown by the Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team. It also scored the first air-to-air shootdown of a jet-powered aircraft in Naval history. Seeing the Panther brings up memories of William Holden flying a Panther in The Bridges at Toko Ri. Did you know that Holden was taught by the U.S. Navy how to taxi a Panther for the movie? The Flying Tigers, aka the “American Volunteer Group,” on exhibit flew over the skies of China, defending them from the Japanese. The group was quite effective and were credited with 296 kills in the period from December 20, 1941, until their disbandment on July 4, 1942. The Vought F4U Corsair was a phenomenal aircraft credited with shooting down a total of 2,140 Japanese aircraft, giving it a kill ratio of 11:1. The Corsair is immediately recognizable by its inverted gull wing design, needed to accommodate its 13-foot propeller. The World War II Collection is amazing — everything from trainers to fighters to bombers. The Vought F4U Corsair and the Mitsubishi A6M “Zero” once again brought back memories of watching Major “Pappy” Boyington and Japanese Navy Captain Tomio Harachi duking it out over the slot in the Solomon Islands on “Black Sheep Squadron.” HANGAR BAY ONE Hangar Bay One features some impressive displays itself. As you enter, Presidential Helicopter Marine One greets you as well as an Apollo Lunar Module. Look up and hanging from above is the first aircraft to land at the South Pole, the R4D-5L “Que Sera Sera,” equipped with ski landing gear and JATO units to help it take off when it got stuck on the ice. The P-40 was known as the Warhawk in the U.S. and Tomahawk in Great Britain. The Tomahawk displayed here was initially flown by the British Air Force and later delivered to the Soviet Union. It’s now marked up as a replica of the American Volunteer Group, aka “Flying Tigers,” pilot Robert Neale, who had 15 kills. The Coast Guard Aviation exhibit is a must-see for the Coasties out there. It features Coast Guard aircraft and memorabilia, including an HH-52 Seaguard Helicopter that served for over 24 years, logged 13,737 flight hours, completed 800 rescue missions, and saved more than 600 lives. Some other interesting displays inside Hangar Bay One include the P2V-1 Neptune “Truculent Turtle.” In 1946, this aircraft logged a record setting flight from Perth, Australia, to Columbus, Ohio, flying 11,235 miles in 55 hours and 17 minutes without refueling, a record that stood until 1962. Lockheed P2V-1 Neptune “Truculent Turtle.” In 1946, the Truculent Turtle logged a record setting flight of 11,235 miles in a time of 55 hours and 17 minutes without refueling. A Lockheed S-3 Viking, tail #159387, flew combat missions from the Aircraft Carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during Operation Iraqi Freedom, but its claim to fame occurred on May 1, 2003, when President George W. Bush was a passenger and became the first sitting president to trap onboard an Aircraft Carrier. Lockheed S-3 “Viking:” This is the S-3 in which President George “Dubya” Bush flew in for his “mission accomplished” carrier landing, the first time a sitting president has ever “trapped” on an aircraft carrier. A Cessna O-1 “Bird Dog” that landed on the Aircraft Carrier USS Midway during the fall of Saigon is also featured. In 1975, a South Vietnamese Air Force major took off from Con Son Island with his family of six crammed into this aircraft. The major made a pass over the carrier and dropped a note asking permission to land. The ship’s captain cleared the deck and had a Vietnamese interpreter come up to the bridge to guide the pilot in. The major was able to land successfully, and now the O-2 is on display here. THE CUBI BAR CAFE NAS Cubi Point was constructed on a rugged piece of island in the Philippines. Completed in 1951, the base was a critical asset during the Vietnam war. In September 1992, the Philippine senate voted to push out U.S. Forces from the Island, and Cubi Point was closed. During its years of operation, the Officers Club obtained a large amount of memorabilia such as plaques from the squadrons rotating through Cubi Point. When the base was closed, the plaques and memorabilia were shipped to NAS Pensacola. Through the use of photos and personnel who worked at the club, the museum has done an amazing job of recreating the bar area of the original Cubi Point Officers Club. Currently, there are approximately 350 plaques displayed of the overall 1,100 on hand. The Cubi Point Officers Club has been recreated to nearly original condition — not entirely though. In 1969, the Cubi Cat Shot was created. Located in the basement of the Cubi Point Officers Club, pilots would sit in a mockup of an A-7 Corsair II (actually, it was a dented external fuel tank) and then be released down a track toward a pool of nasty, stagnant water. At the appropriate moment, the pilot had to drop the tailhook and trap the arresting wire. Failure to trap resulted in a bath in the nasty, stagnant water. You may remember that scene from the Vietnam Era film Flight of the Intruder, based on the Cubi Cat Shot. Unfortunately, it was later dismantled and destroyed. THE FLIGHTLINE The NAS Pensacola flightline area behind the museum is filled with aircraft of all types. During our visit, there was a wide range of aircraft such as a PBY Catalina, an F-14 Tomcat, an RA-5C Vigilante, a C-46 Commando, and plenty of others. Grumman F-14 “Tomcat,” the Navy’s primary fighter aircraft for over 25 years. Combined with the AIM-54 Phoenix missile, which could engage targets at a range of 195 miles, it was a formidable weapons system. All of these aircraft are destined for display either in Pensacola or loaned out to other museums in the U.S. and abroad after restoration — restorations that are completed by an army of volunteers. BLUE ANGELS ATRIUM NAS Pensacola is the home base for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Aerial Demonstration Team. Formed in 1946, the Blue Angels have flown everything from Hellcats to Hornets. In the main building, you’ll find the Blue Angels Atrium. The team flew the A-4 Skyhawk from 1974 to 1986, and the display of 4 Skyhawks hanging from the ceiling in formation is incredible. Blue Angels practice session If you’re lucky, you’ll get to see a Blue Angels team practice session. When they’re not on the road, NAS Pensacola is where they practice. You’ll see a show narrated by a Naval Aviator who’ll give you the lowdown on flying a Hornet. The National Naval Aviation Museum is an absolute must for anyone interested in the history of Naval Aviation. It’s the premier collection of U.S. Naval Aircraft, and you’d need an entire book to truly do it justice; in fact, there’s already one available in the gift shop. Unfortunately, since the terrorist attack on NAS Pensacola in 2019, the museum has been closed to the public. Lockheed EC-121 Warning Star Civilians can only visit as guests of a Department of Defense ID card holder and must be enrolled in the Trusted Traveler program. When it opens to the public again, you should definitely visit.

- Author: Leroy Wright Apr 25, 2017,
Apr 25, 2017, 15:15
President Trump, during a video call with NASA astronauts Monday, joked that he wouldn't want to re-use human urine as drinking water, a practice common in U.S. spaceflight.
Astronaut Peggy Whitson has another record under her space belt.
"That's an incredible record to break and on behalf of our nation, I'd like to congratulate you", he said, describing Monday "as a very special day in the glorious history of American space flight".
"Well, it's actually a huge honor to break a record like this", Whitson said.
Early Monday morning, Whitson officially broke the NASA record of 534 days in orbit that was set a year ago by Jeff Williams. In 2008, Whitson became the first woman to command the space station, and on April 9 became the first woman to command it twice.
She flew to space for the first time in 2002 aboard the space shuttle Endeavour, staying for a six-month stint at the International Space Station, which orbits some 250 miles (400 kilometres) above the Earth. The seasoned astronaut got a congratulatory call from President Donald Trump for her achievement. The President replied that he wanted the endeavor to be done during his first, or "at worst", his second period, so it should speed up a little.
"Well, that's good. I'm glad to hear it", replied Trump.
Flanked by his daughter Ivanka (right) and NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, President Donald Trump speaks with NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station on Monday from the Oval Office in Washington, D.C.
"Trump signed a bill in late March to authorise funding for NASA, and to create a plan for putting people on Mars by the 2030s".
The president asked about the experiments being conducted on the station, which Fischer called "by far the best example of worldwide cooperation, and what we can do when we work together, in the history of humanity".
"I've been dealing with politicians so much", Trump said.
"But I don't really think it became a goal until I graduated from high school, when the first female astronauts were selected", she added. | aerospace |

ZH867 was flown from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire by Officer Commanding No. 47 Squadron Wing Commander Andy Johnson on 1st March. It marks the start of the centerwing upgrade programme, which will see all 14 aircraft in the fleet receive the upgrade over several years at Marshalls.
Matt Siggins, Aircraft Project Manager for Marshalls told us:
“It’s a 212 day programme per aircraft to replace the center wing so it’s a big job. It’s been fantastic to meet the crews who fly the Hercules from RAF Brize Norton and for them to get a chance to see what we do on this end.”
The Hercules fleet first came into service with the RAF back in 1967 as the C.Mk 1, later known as the ‘K’ model, and has been the backbone of UK operations ever since.
Marshall have been an instrumental cog in the Hercules machine right from the off, having performed all fleet conversion work throughout the aircraft’s history and today supporting the C-130J in this latest upgrade programme.
Wing Commander Andy Johnson told Forces Radio BFBS:
“It is the aircraft that’s always called on for a great number of tasks by defence and constantly delivers.
These aircraft have lasted 20 years and giving them this new lease of life is superb.”
The C-130K models were retired from service in 2013 after almost 5 decades of service, accumulating many more flying hours than predicted during Operations Telic and Herrick alongside the newer C-130J models.
The C-130J was due for retirement in 2022, however the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review saw a need for the life of the fleet to be extended and this programme will ensure Hercules continue to deliver on operations for the UK up until 2030.

Following being successfully used as a night fighter against US bombers, official production began in 1943 on a night fighter version, the J1N1-S Gekko (moonlight). Modifications included removing third seat, adding twin-mounted 20mm guns behind cockpit canopy angled up at 30 degrees and underneath fuselage angled down at 30 degrees. The Gekko proved successful against B-17 and B-24 bombers, and continued to fight until the end of WWII. The later version, the J1N1-Sa, featured singular exhaust stacks and three 20mm cannons mounted in upper fuselage with lower guns removed. Some later Gekko models also featured an antenna and radar system mounted on the nose. | aerospace |

High-flying customers can now enjoy floor to ceiling sliding doors and sleek design features mimicking the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Highlights include zero-gravity seat position inspired by NASA technology giving a feeling of relaxation and weightlessness, mood lighting, full length cupboard for hanging clothes, video call function for cabin crew and a service window where you can be served drinks and canapes undisturbed.
No longer do you have to battle to get a window seat as they have also introduced the industry’s first virtual windows for suites located in the middle aisle. These windows project the view from outside the aircraft using real time camera technology.
Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline said: “We are very excited about our new fully-enclosed suite which is a real game-changer in terms of privacy, comfort, and thoughtful luxury.”
The service will be available from December 1 with the latest Emirates 777 design debuting on flights to Geneva and Brussels.
Now that’s above and beyond cloud nine of luxury travel. | aerospace |

Far Away, The Pale Blue Dot
by Lucca DeJardins
Yes, that’s an alias.
Yes, I know who it is.
No, I’m not telling you.
Retired journalist and author, Michael “Mac” McMullin, is offered a life-changing seat on the first manned mission to Mars.
At first, both he and mission specialist Aiko Tsukuda, are outcasts among the eight-person crew. As the flight leaves Earth and heads for Mars, Mac quickly proves his worth… and discovers the last thing he thought he’d find in space. A second chance at love.
But planting humanity on Mars is a difficult task as the crew quickly finds out. As they face and overcome each new challenge, they discover that Mac is a man who will never give up, never stop fighting to make the mission succeed.
A catastrophic failure leaves Mac stranded on Mars alone, help from Earth several months away. He must use all of his skill, wit, and grim determination to keep mankind’s foothold on Mars secure. He’ll have to overcome great odds until a relief crew can arrive, especially after all communication with Earth – the far away pale blue dot in the Martian sky - is lost.
It launches tomorrow.

Lockheed Martin recently demonstrated the integration of the MONAX 3G wireless communications system with an aerostat platform demonstrating the ability to deliver real-time video and data directly to soldiers on the ground.
The MONAX communications system connects a commercial off the shelf (COTS) smartphone to a ground or airborne MONAX XG Base Station through a small, portable, battery powered MONAX Lynx user device, enabling the warfighter's use of a single, convenient, touch screen COTS smartphone for mission success at "the first tactical mile."
The system is frequency flexible, connects hundreds of users to a single base station, and delivers superior range and link performance in voice, video and data transmission. The network uses a secure RF link, protected through exportable encryption for joint and coalition operations.
The integration demonstrated MONAX's ability to provide coverage over a substantial network area of more than 3,800 kilometers2 (70-kilometer cell diameter) with just one base station. During the testing, MONAX streamed real time video from the aerostat camera to COTS smartphones within the coverage area.
"The successful integration of these systems is a major step in the field readiness of MONAX to begin providing essential mission information and situational awareness to warfighters," said Macy Summers, Vice President of Advanced Programs and Ventures, for Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Solutions-Defense.
"Dismounted solders at the platoon and squad levels can now have access to an affordable private network that delivers the wide capabilities of smartphone technology."
"We were able to keep the system footprint small in terms of size, weight and power," Summers said.
"The MONAX equipment aboard the aerostat, which includes an antennae and radio frequency to fiber converter, weighs approximately 90 pounds and is connected to the base station on the ground through fiber optic cable embedded in the aerostat's tether."
MONAX products are available on the General Services Administration schedule purchasing vehicle and directly from Lockheed Martin.

On July 20, 1969, American Neil Armstrong landed on the moon aboard the Apollo 11 spacecraft, taking a giant step for mankind. Meanwhile, veteran astronaut Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) and his family and friends watched the historic moment closely on television. Jim flew to the moon on Apollo 8 and hopes to land on the moon in his lifetime.
That moment comes soon enough. Three months later, Jim is named commander of Apollo 13 and will blast off to the moon with fellow astronauts Fred Dehans (Bill Paxton) and Jack Swiggett (Kevin Bacon). They were full of hope, but they did not know that the untold trials awaited them...
In addition to Armstrong, who is remembered in history, there are many heroes who have made great efforts to realize the dream of human landing on the moon. Apollo 13 tells the story of one of the most successful failures of space exploration. Nominated for best Picture at that year's Academy Awards, it is a must-see feature film about the moon landings.
Shadow of the Moon (2007)
Plot: The Apollo program opened the eyes of mankind to what the moon really looked like, and led the space industry into another realm. In order to remember this great moment, the British director seized the opportunity to find a group of astronauts, recorded their personal experience and life transformation.
For a true history of the moon landings, documentaries are certainly better than feature films. The Apollo program, launched in the 1960s, opened up new frontiers for the space industry and the world. This documentary interviewed a number of astronauts who personally landed on the moon, leaving a very precious image data. | aerospace |

Commercial heavy aircraft the need for large-scale air transportation has been central to commercial aircraft manufacturingas one of the world's most vital industries, airlines are key to many aspects of the world economy, from international business and tourism to routine movement of people and goods ranging from massive machinery to agricultural products and personal items. The major local suppliers are avic helicopters, avic harbin aircraft industry group (avic haig), and avic changhe aircraft industry corporation (avic caic) the chinese government has loosened its control on helicopter manufacturing to allow local private firms and foreign companies to cooperate in developing and manufacturing civil helicopters. Employment in the aerospace manufacturing industry is currently the lowest since world aircraft since 1958 are fairly regular, between 10 and 12 years long, but. Within the titanium in global aerospace industry, commercial aircraft is expected to remain the largest segment and witness the highest growth by aircraft type due to an increase in aircraft.
Revenue of the worldwide leading aircraft manufacturers and suppliers in 2016 (in million us dollars) these two companies share between them about 65 percent of the world airliner fleet. Aircraft manufacturing sponsored by: china's singletons take part in the world's biggest online-retail event, the israeli prime minister visits america and airbus and boeing show off their. The aerospace industry since world war ii, then, is the story of an increasingly capital-intensive business whose manufacturing function has steadily declined, and its product cost has risen so high that it has almost priced itself out of its market. In recent years, the skies have been quite friendly for the aerospace sector with a growing demand for air travel, massive backlogs of new aircraft orders and a slowly resurging business jet sector, outlook for the industry is strong.

The ␗F-84G-21-RE Thunderjet is a rank V Chinese strike aircraft with a battle rating of 7.7 (AB/RB) and 8.0 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.91 "Night Vision".
The F-84 Thunderjet was among the first American jet aircraft sold to the Republic of China Air Force, and in War Thunder it will often be a starting jet for Chinese pilots entering Rank V. It has a lot of perks to offer while still being a smooth transition from propeller fighters. Like the ROCAF P-47D-28 Thunderbolt, another beloved fighter-bomber from the same manufacturer, the Thunderjet has a large yet sleek appearance, a high top speed, six .50 caliber Browning machine guns, and a huge payload of bombs and rockets. It has competitive performance for air combat while being more forgiving than the PLAAF's starting MiG-9, and can be very effective in Ground RB as well. Pilots who master the F-84G will earn a great plane for both air superiority and close air support, and be prepared for future Chinese jets.
The F-84G is a streamlined all-metal jet fighter which was designed to house the upgraded Allison J35-A-29 turbine jet engine. Though an upgraded engine compared to the F-84B, typically this fighter was laden with more ordnance thus still requiring a significant roll-out time of 1,040 m (~3,400 ft) before lift-off. Don't be dismayed as other fighters are taking to the sky while you are still building up speed as once in the air you can climb to bomber altitude or set up for a ground attack run that few others can rival.
Though the take-off and climb characteristics of the Allison jet engine appeared lacklustre, it actually had decent level flight speed and good dive characteristics. Speed is what saves this fighter, in once it has enough built up, it will perform. Though not the fastest at its battle rating, the F-84G is a great boom & zoom aircraft vs. being a dogfighter. Turning this aircraft will bleed its speed and the roll rate can be affected by the weight of the wing-tip fuel tanks. One negative aspect of the wing-tip fuel tanks of the early F-84s was that high speeds (>1,000 km/h) tended to cause the fuel tanks to twist resulting (mitigated by the addition of fins on the tanks) in the destruction of the wings which does reflect in realistic and simulator battles in-game if exceeded. While turning in this jet is not advised, Immelmann and Split-S manoeuvres will help to conserve energy without compromising the speed of the aircraft.
If ever in danger of risking going faster than maximum rip speed, it is important to throttle back and extend air-brakes to reduce speed enough to keep the aircraft intact and manoeuvre in for the kill.

Survivability and armour
- 38 mm Bulletproof glass in cockpit front.
- 6.35 mm Steel plate in front of pilot.
- 12.7 mm Steel plate in pilot's headrest.
- 8 mm Steel plate behind the pilot.
Like many early jet fighters, the armour was placed around the pilot while not much thought was given to the other critical components of the aircraft mostly due to the weight imposed on the early and weak turbojet engines placed into service. From behind, the pilot is protected by an 8 mm steel plate behind the seat with a 12.7 mm steel plate as a headrest. In front of the pilot, a 38 mm bulletproof windscreen adds protection from head-on's or from defensive bomber weapons. Another 6.35 mm steel plate is placed in front of the pilot and instrument panel for further protection of bullets entering the open-ended air-intake.
Other critical components such as the jet turbine, fuel tanks and coolers are all exposed, only protected by the outer skin of the aircraft which may deflect incoming bullets if at sufficient distance or angle to do so.
When attacking an F-84G, aim for the centre of the aircraft where you have a good chance of getting a critical hit on the engine or in a fuel tank. Due to this aircraft having wing-tip fuel tanks, shots to the wings or wing-tip tanks have a potential of starting a fire or breaking a wing off. If the attacking aircraft has sufficient calibre ammunition then shots taken at the pilot may have a larger chance of success if made from the sides or behind. This aircraft does not have much protection against rockets or missiles, however, given sufficient notice, rockets can be avoided and it is possible that missiles can be outmanoeuvred, however, when playing in realistic or simulator you run the risk of the pilot blacking-out due to G-force manoeuvres or wings snapping while trying to outfly a missile.
Modifications and economy
The F-84G-21-RE (China) is armed with:
- 4 x 12.7 mm M3 Browning machine gun, nose-mounted (300 rpg = 1,200 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm M3 Browning machine gun, wing-mounted (300 rpg = 600 total)
The F-84G has four 12.7 mm M3 Browning machine guns mounted in the forward fuselage and two others mounted close by in the wing roots. Compared to the cannon armament of other contemporary jets, the Brownings have less stopping power and have trouble dismantling enemy aircraft. But they are accurate, easy to aim, and can still cause fires easily. The ammunition supply is also quite generous, although the enhanced rate of fire of the M3 Browning compared to the earlier M2 will eat through it quickly in full-auto.
The F-84G-21-RE (China) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 12 x HVAR rockets
- 32 x HVAR rockets
- 2 x Tiny Tim rockets
- 2 x 100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs (200 lb total)
- 2 x 250 lb AN-M57 bombs (500 lb total)
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x 500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs + 24 x HVAR rockets (1,000 lb total)
- 2 x 1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs (2,000 lb total)
Custom loadout options
|100 lb AN-M30A1 bombs||1||1|
|250 lb AN-M57 bombs||1||1|
|500 lb AN-M64A1 bombs||1||1|
|1,000 lb AN-M65A1 bombs||1||1|
|Tiny Tim rockets||1||1|
|Maximum permissible weight imbalance: 900 kg|
|* HVAR rockets on hardpoints 1/8 may only be equipped simultaneously|
The F-84G offers a range of bombs and rockets for destroying surface targets. Unguided bombs are mounted only on two fuselage hardpoints and the best choices are clearly the heavy 1,000 lb bombs. They drop individually and do not require a huge amount of precision to obliterate a capture point. Unfortunately, the need to fly directly above the target renders the Thunderjet vulnerable to SPAA fire in Ground RB, and radar guided systems like the M163 and ZSU-23-4 can easily shred unaware pilots.
Pilots who want something more adventurous can mount enormous Tiny Tim rockets on these pylons instead; the F-84G is the only aircraft in the Chinese tech tree with access to them. They have less explosive content than the 1,000 lb bombs but still enough to knock out tanks even on near misses, and can be launched from safer distances. The main drawback is that they take a lot of practice to aim effectively, especially because they drop from the pylon before the rocket motor ignites.
The remaining pylons are reserved for HVAR rockets. Previous P-47D pilots may have overlooked them because they are difficult to aim and have less explosive power than an artillery shell, but the Thunderjet can carry and launch them in good numbers. Although HVARs have a hard time damaging armoured targets and the wing placement of the hardpoints increases spread, they can be surprisingly effective at clearing out SPAA vehicles from 1-2 kilometers away. Firing a salvo of rockets while rolling will produce a spiral pattern that impacts the ground in a circle, and the resulting rain of explosives can easily overpressure light vehicles in its radius. This is a useful tactic for clearing an enemy spawn of heavy SPAA coverage and then switching to bombs for destroying hard targets. Just be aware that the Thunderjet is still somewhat vulnerable when flying straight to aim rockets, and be prepared to break off from incoming fire.
A special note is that equipping HVARs on the wingtip hardpoints will replace the fuel tanks that normally occupy them (with no ill effect to the F-84G's actual fuel capacity). Once the rockets are fired off or jettisoned, the flight performance is improved by a small amount, which some players will exploit even when preparing for air combat. Another benefit is that the Thunderjet will be less vulnerable to being set on fire by stray shots.
Usage in battles
The F-84G is a versatile multi-role fighter and can be configured to be used in various types of aerial warfare, namely bomber interceptor, ground attack and fighter-interceptor.
- Bomber Interceptor
Thanks to an upgraded engine compared to the F-84B, the G model has a bit more climbing power and does not need to rely solely on side climbing and reach the necessary altitude to begin hunting bombers or diving onto hapless fighters. As a bomber interceptor, the pilot has two options for weapon load-outs besides the default guns, noting the HVAR and Tiny Tim rockets.
If the F-84G is still stock or in the process of upgrading modules, the best bet will be to not load any suspended armaments and rely on the six 12.7 mm M3 Browning machine guns to do the work. Just using the machine guns will help save on weight and make it a bit easier to climb on the unmodified engine. For those pilots who have modified engines, they can opt for guns only for a quicker climb or attach HVAR rockets for an additional punch against larger bombers.
Once at altitude, scan and select a bomber target of opportunity. It is best to attain higher altitude than the bomber, giving you options as to which direction to attack from and increase your speed when diving in, speed is key to avoid defensive guns, race out of their range and to gain enough distance to safely turn around and follow up with another attack if needed.
Since the six M3 machine guns are virtually centred on the aircraft, the inbound bullets will be clustered and should be aimed at engines, cockpit, fuel tanks and any other critical areas as the body of the aircraft can sometimes absorb a large amount of smaller calibre ammunition before causing a critical hit or crippling the aircraft. The limitation of only 300 rounds per gun will require trigger discipline by the pilot to ensure enough rounds are available for a secondary or tertiary attack without having to reload or return to base.
Utilizing HVAR rockets at large lumbering bombers can have a great impact, though unguided, they will need to be pointed in the general direction when launched, it may take several practice runs to determine best angle and distance in which to fire from for a successful attack. As with any unguided rocket, the best bet is to launch a volley of rockets to ensure a greater chance of at least one hitting.
- Ground Attack
Jet fighters tend to not make good ground attackers as it typically requires them to fly low and slow making them easy pickings for enemy fighters above or anti-aircraft fire below. Since the F-84G is neither an exceptionally fast fighter nor a lumbering bomber, it has an advantage of being fast enough to be dangerous to ground targets without being a sitting duck for patrolling enemy fighters. Compared to many other fighters which are capable of ground attack, the F-84G can carry a fantastic amount of ground attack ordnance which can seriously put a dent into the enemy teams vehicles, bunkers and bases.
While many aircraft available in War Thunder has a specific role of fighter-interceptor, ground attack or bomber, the F-84G can set itself up with suspended ordnance depending on the targets available on the map. The F-84G has several options depending on the modules unlocked by the pilot which range from outfitting HVAR unguided rockets, massive Tiny Tim unguided rockets, 100 lb, 250 lb, 500 lb and 1,000 lb bombs or a mixture of bombs and rockets.
Smaller bombs and the HVAR rockets are best for going after lighter armoured targets such as aircraft (on the ground or with rockets in the air), anti-aircraft batteries, trucks, some light tanks and ships. The larger Tiny Tim rockets and bombs are best reserved for more hardened targets like pillboxes, medium and large tanks, bunkers, large ships and bases. This fighter is not afraid to get down and dirty taking out ground targets, just be aware of your surroundings and watch for enemy fighters or anti-aircraft guns poised to take you out.
- Fighter Interceptor
While definitely not the fastest nor the most manoeuvrable fighter on the field, the F-84G has enough speed and manoeuvrability to take on fighter jets. The centerline six M3 machine guns concentrate enough lead into one spot to damage or destroy fighter aircraft flying in its path. While turning this fighter is bad due to bleeding airspeed (although maybe an option if you are trying to force an overshoot), Immelmann and Split-S manoeuvres will help you change directions keeping up your speed and allowing for a getaway or a targeting solution.
Boom & Zoom tactics will enable the F-84G to have the speed to manoeuvre and set up their shots and keep them active in the fight. Many enemy fighters may mistake the F-84G as a weak and slow aircraft, however, the machine is not 100% of the solution and many pilots can take lesser aircraft and best faster, more agile and better-gunned aircraft by using their training, skills and the F-84B. The only time to count out the F-84G is when you see the pilot bail out, otherwise, always consider it a threat.
The F-84G is equipped with an AN/APG-30 rangefinding radar, located in the nose of the aircraft. It will automatically detect other planes within the scanning area and display the range to the closest target. It is linked with a gyro gunsight and can help with aiming at close range.
|AN/APG-30 - Rangefinding radar|
|2,750 m||300 m||±9°||±9°|
Pros and cons
- Center-line armament of six .50 cal machine guns with a great rate of fire
- Huge payload options, a fantastic ground attacker
- Good acceleration
- Excellent dive speed
- Sturdy wings, nearly unrippable
- Turn rate is not very good, though better than the F-84B
- Manoeuvrability diminished with heavy payloads
- Middle road fighter, not the best or fastest, but capable
- Long takeoff roll out
As part of the Mutual Assistance Program for US-allied countries/regions, the ROCAF received their first jet, the F-84G series, in 1953 (ROC Year 42), and fleets of F-86s and F-104 series entered service by the late 1950s. F-84Gs have been the cornerstone of the ROCAF, and were one of the participants of the Taiwan Strait Crisis where the jet, piloted by Heinz Ouyang (歐陽漪棻; Ouyang Yifeng) on 21st July 1956, scored over 2 PLAAF MiG-17s and left the only remarkable victories of the F-84 series over Soviet-built jets.
As more advanced jets joined ROCAF rapidly by the later 1950s, the remaining combat variants of the F-84G were decommissioned by 1960 and some of these jets are now displayed at some locations across Taiwan Island.

The Department of Defense Saturday decided to delay the Transformational Satellite System (TSAT) contract that was to be awarded in December, putting it off until the June- September quarter in 2010, Reuters said.
That stingy approach may, ultimately, kill the program, and much worse may end up killing U.S. military personnel, a widely read analyst said today.
TSAT is vital to developing the Army Future Combat Systems (FCS), because TSAT would provide the rapid communications links that FCS requires, noted Loren B. Thompson, chief operating officer with The Lexington Institute, a think tank near the Pentagon focusing on defense and other issues.
"The plan now is to restart the satellite program as a less costly effort on a stretched-out schedule, but the more likely outcome is that the program simply dies for lack of support in the new administration" of the president who will be elected Nov. 4, Thompson predicted.
"That would be a real tragedy, leading to the avoidable deaths of many warfighters who cannot obtain timely [communications] links via other means," he wrote in an issue brief.
An Air Force acquisition program, TSAT would be a next-generation communications program linking far-flung military forces in a cohesive unity.
The TSAT contest thus far has pitted a team led by The Boeing Co. [BA] against a team of Lockheed Martin Corp. [LMT] with Northrop Grumman Corp. [NOC]. The two competing teams now are working under preliminary contracts, but the competition for a larger contract has been terminated, now aiming for a contract award in 2010. That delays launch of the first satellite to 2019.
This is a mistake, because TSAT is needed, Thompson noted.
"The program was supposed to give each warfighter easy, secure access to the global information grid as part of the joint force’s migration to networked warfare," he observed.
Policymakers made the wrong move when they decided to put the brakes on the TSAT program, he added.
"Setting aside the utter lack of transparency in this last, misguided decision by a failed [Bush] administration, what lesson might be learned from the satellite’s termination?" Thompson asked. "Simply this: costly and complicated military technology programs usually don’t unfold as planned. They take so long to develop that there are many opportunities for politicians and policymakers to revise budgets and rewrite requirements. So the programs reach the field later than expected, in a different form than originally anticipated."
FCS, a sprawling modernization program to acquire cutting-edge vehicles, aircraft and more, all netted together by advanced communications, carries a price tag of about $160 billion, second only to the $300 billion F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (Lightning II) program.
Thompson’s point is that it is critical for FCS to succeed, and it won’t without TSAT.
FCS is overseen by The Boeing Co. [BA] and Science Applications International Corp. [SAI].
"Prime contractor Boeing has achieved the nearly impossible goal of keeping the program on schedule and on budget despite multiple restructurings, and as a result it has gradually gained support both in the service and on Capitol Hill," Thompson recalled. "That support is readily apparent in the Army’s proposed spending plan for 2010-2015."
It is critical for FCS to include TSAT, Thompson continued.
The "Future Combat Systems is an exceedingly complex ‘system of systems’ that makes the canceled satellite program look simple by comparison," he noted. "While there is little doubt that the Army needs such a program to fight effectively in the future, there is also little doubt it will encounter problems of one sort or another before fully coming to fruition. In fact, loss of the connectivity that would have been provided by the canceled satellite is one such problem. Planners say they can work around the communications gap, but that will take time."
A tight-fisted fiscal approach can be dangerous, Thompson concluded. "The Pentagon shouldn’t be underfunding programs that we know will be crucial to the survival and success of America’s soldiers," he concluded. | aerospace |

Crashworthiness means the ability of the aircraft to protect the passengers during a crash. In order to study the crashworthiness of the aircraft design without using crash outcomes, the deformation patterns of the aircraft structure can be studied. The acceleration forces on the aircraft during a crash can be simulated by computer. Human body models can predict injury probabilities during a crash of the designed aircraft. Injury criteria are used, which correlate forces with injury risk. Although composite materials weigh less than aluminum and have more corrosion resistance, which will lower maintenance, composite materials also have more failure characteristics in high-energy crashes (Langevin, 2003).
Composite materials are brittle, and lack plasticity following an impact, so that a change in configuration may be needed in an aircraft design to ensure that crashworthiness criteria are met. An important aspect of aircraft impact survivability is the strength of the passenger seats. The response of seat structures to impact loads shows a need for higher static seat strength. There are load-limiting devices that can be implemented so that the loads transmitted to passengers during a crash will be minimized.
The structural assembly can also be modified to decrease transmitted loads. Aircraft subfloor systems can be developed with high-strength materials that hold the passenger seats during impact, and also contain a crushable layer that will absorb energy. The crushable layer is most important in the vertical direction, for improving human tolerance of the impact. This subfloor platform will also distribute loads across the fuselage evenly. Energy absorbing seats are also effective at reducing loads transmitted to passengers.
A comparison of two similar real-life crash events shows that energy absorbing seats and restraint systems can mean the difference between walking away and not surviving (Langevin, 2003).

US AIR FORCE (USAF) 707 E-3A JET AIRPLANE TRAINING BASE. (AWACS) TRAINERS (TC-18E).
USA (United States of America) was established in 1776, it covers an area of 9,363,123 sq km, its population is 280 million, its capital city is Washington DC, and its official language is English.
November 2006: Boeing (TBC) is working with the US Air Force (USF) to show how network-centric computer tools can streamline airborne battle management, using E-3A Sentry Airborne Warning & Control System (AWACS) airplanes as a test platform.
The intent, according to Boeing (AWACS) Development Manager Kevin Jones, is to help the Air Force (USF) prioritize its investment in net-centric technology. The 2-year, Boeing (TBC)-funded Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CREDA) is not, however, part of the airplane’s current Block 40/45 upgrade.
“What this does is give us the ability to look at the problem of net-centric warfare and quantify the specific military benefits,” Jones said. “A lot of it has to do with basic infrastructure, like quality of service and level of connectivity. We have to determine the nature and quantity of the data we want to move and how fast it has to travel to support the mission.”
(AWACS)-based research has centered on the replacement of voice communications with digital relays, in a bid to speed up time-sensitive targeting. In addition, operator displays are being enhanced with data from sources besides the airplane’s on board radar. The package includes “decision aids,” such as color-coded symbols denoting target status as it evolves in combat.
One likely scenario involves a potential enemy target broadcasting radar signals — known in the early warning business as an “emitter.” An airplane with a passive (ISR) system locates the site and conveys the information to the Coalition Air Operations Center (CAOC) on the ground. The (CAOC) requests more information and adds the target to a list. Can Special Operations Forces or space-based (ISR) assets identify it?
(AWACS) operators watch the scenario develop, while the target moves higher on the list. Using the new net-centric tools, they match airborne strike assets with the target. If a formation of F-15E strike airplanes was on call, for example, the (AWACS) could verify their fuel status and arrange midair refueling, if needed.
“Using forward-based radar sensors to extend (AWACS) visibility, gives us much earlier target identification and faster reaction time,” Jones said.
Software and other features proven during the (CREDA), if developed, could reach the (AWACS) fleet by 2013, according to Boeing (TBC).
Another candidate for the net-centric treatment could be the Boeing P-8A, a 737-derived airplane slated to be the US Navy (USN)’s next antisubmarine warfare/(ISR) airplanes.
“For now, we’re focused on supporting the (AWACS) modernization road map, of which the network is key,” Jones said. “It shortens the kill chain and increases bombs on target.”
Based on the 707 airliner, the E-3A (USE) is in its 4th decade with the (USF), which operates 33 of the type. (NATO) has 17 (AWACS) airplanes in service, while Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) has 7. Saudi Arabia and France fly 5 and 4, respectively.
Block 40/45 (the most recent (AWACS) upgrade) incorporates numerous enhancements, including replacement of 1970s-vintage mainframe computers and displays with modern devices.
August 2008: The USA Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight-test program for the Pratt & Whitney (PRW) (JT8D-219) 707 re-engining program is underway at Mojave, California, USA. The engine is being used to re-engine the US Airforce (USF)'s Boeing E-8C JSTARS and (NATO) (NAT) E-3 (AWACS) surveillance airplane derivatives of the 707. The (JT98D-219)s will be provided on an operational lease basis by (P&W). The upgrade will provide up to 22% fuel burn reduction and a take-off noise reduction of 40dB over the existing (P&W) (TF33)/(JT3D) engines. The program was developed with the help of Dublin-based 707 operator Omega Air (OMG) and its San Antonio, Texas subsidiary, Seven-Q-Seven.

The spacecraft is called DART, for Double Asteroid Redirection Test. It lifted off from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base. If all goes well, in September 2022 it will slam head-on into Dimorphos, an asteroid 525 feet (160 meters) across, at 15,000 mph (24,139 kph). The asteroid is no danger to Earth, just a good target for testing out the potentially planet-saving technology. | aerospace |

Kelly, a former astronaut, and retired army officer Mark Hertling published Twitter threads detailing weaknesses of the T-72 battle tank.
As Russia's space agency has become isolated due to global backlash over Ukraine, Kelly said he doubts the U.S. will ever work with them again under Putin.
Kelly told Newsweek some of his former colleagues believe the invasion of Ukraine was to "prevent Nazis and NATO from destroying Russia."
The "Communist Manifesto" author's name donned a study room at the University of Florida since 2014, but officials said world events led to the name's removal.
Kelly, a former NASA astronaut, said he will keep sharing "accurate news" about the war in Ukraine with his Russian followers.
Rogozin, director general of Roscosmos, blocked Kelly after apparently calling him a "moron" as Russia's space program becomes increasingly isolated.
Kelly hit out at the Roscosmos director after he shared footage of foreign flags being stripped from a Russian rocket.

With the ability to capture detailed images of vast agricultural landscapes from space, this technology offers numerous advantages in improving crop monitoring and management. However, it also has its limitations that need to be considered. In this article, we will explore the advantages and limitations of satellite-based remote sensing in agriculture.
One of the key advantages of satellite-based remote sensing is its ability to provide a comprehensive view of crop health and growth patterns. By capturing images at different wavelengths, satellites can detect subtle changes in vegetation, allowing farmers to identify areas of stress or disease. This enables early intervention and targeted management strategies, ultimately leading to improved crop yields.
Furthermore, satellite-based remote sensing allows for frequent and consistent monitoring of crops. Traditional methods of crop monitoring, such as field visits, are time-consuming and often limited to specific areas. Satellites, on the other hand, can cover large areas in a single pass and provide regular updates. This real-time information is invaluable for farmers in making informed decisions about irrigation, fertilization, and pest control.
Another advantage of satellite-based remote sensing is its ability to assess soil moisture levels. By measuring the reflectance of different wavelengths, satellites can estimate the amount of moisture present in the soil. This information is crucial for optimizing irrigation practices and preventing water wastage. With water scarcity becoming an increasingly pressing issue in agriculture, satellite-based remote sensing offers a valuable tool for efficient water management.
In addition to improved crop monitoring, satellite-based remote sensing also aids in the management of agricultural resources. By analyzing satellite images, farmers can identify areas of underutilized land or areas prone to erosion. This knowledge allows for better land use planning and the implementation of conservation practices. Moreover, satellite data can be used to monitor changes in land cover, such as deforestation or urbanization, providing valuable insights into the impact of human activities on the environment.
Despite its many advantages, satellite-based remote sensing does have limitations that need to be acknowledged. One limitation is the reliance on clear weather conditions. Cloud cover can obstruct satellite imagery, limiting its usefulness during periods of frequent cloud cover. Additionally, the spatial resolution of satellite images may not be sufficient for detecting small-scale variations in crop health or pest infestations. This means that ground-based observations and other complementary data sources are still necessary for accurate and detailed monitoring.
Furthermore, the cost of satellite-based remote sensing can be a barrier for many farmers, especially those in developing countries. The acquisition and processing of satellite imagery can be expensive, making it inaccessible to small-scale farmers with limited financial resources. Additionally, the interpretation of satellite data requires specialized knowledge and technical skills, which may not be readily available to all farmers.
In conclusion, satellite-based remote sensing offers significant advantages in improving crop monitoring and management in agriculture. From providing a comprehensive view of crop health to aiding in resource management, this technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach agriculture. However, it is important to acknowledge its limitations, such as weather dependence and cost, and to consider them when implementing satellite-based remote sensing in agricultural practices. With further advancements and increased accessibility, satellite-based remote sensing has the potential to play a crucial role in ensuring food security and sustainable agriculture. | aerospace |

The Aerospace Corporation's Rogue Alpha/Beta CubeSats sent compelling imagery of the hurricane to Earth via laser communications, demonstrating how a small satellite can deliver large amounts of remote sensing data for weather and other research.
“Aerospace is excited to see another mission benefiting from the investments made in laser communications for small satellites,” said Darren Rowen, Director of the xLab Small Satellite Department. “The ability to transmit at high speeds of 200 Mbits per second optically with a spacecraft-body-steered laser transmitter continues to push the state of the art and has the potential to reduce cost while meeting valuable mission needs."
More than 1 gigabyte of data was downloaded from the two CubeSats, a bandwidth improvement of 200 times that of a radio frequency downlink.
The CubeSat was programmed to fly pointed at Earth’s horizon and then point and stare at the forecast position of the eye of the storm as it came into view, demonstrating the ability of small satellites to execute agile weather imaging. This video shows 200 frames of raw short wavelength infrared images taken at 1-second intervals of Hurricane Sally.
This successful laser communications operation completes a key threshold objective and will enable the next phase of Rogue mission operations. Remote sensing data throughput can be increased, and longer and higher framerate collections over wider geographical regions will be enabled for cloud scene characterization and weather image processing.
One of the Rogue CubeSats was programmed to fly pointed at Earth’s horizon and then point and stare at the forecast position of the eye of the storm as it came into view. This successfully demonstrated a typical “sideways-pointed wide field of view” collection mode, simulated a tip and cue of a trailing satellite, and showcased a potential new type of weather data collection.
“Using new prototype satellites, such as the Rogue Alpha/Beta constellation, we can obtain stereo observations from diverse orbital views, and image environmental events with new research-oriented spectral bands,” said Dr. Dee Pack, Director of the Space Science Applications Laboratory.
The Rogue CubeSats, also known as AeroCube-15, launched Nov. 2, 2019 and were sponsored by the Space and Missile Systems Center’s (SMC) Space Development Corps to investigate rapid reconstitution of an infrared remote sensing capability with a pair of 3U CubeSats. The mission is an example of Aerospace’s ability to support SMC’s shift to innovate faster and rapidly onboard new capabilities to better position the nation’s defense-related space enterprise.
“Rogue Alpha and Beta exemplify the power of strategic partnerships and the benefits of our streamlined acquisition strategy. Both CubeSats achieved paper to prototype in just 16 months,” said Igor Brin, Materiel Leader in the Innovation and Prototyping Directorate, part of SMC’s Space Development Corps. “Once on orbit, the project achieved all key threshold objectives in less than nine months - three months early - when it successfully transferred its IR weather data over its laser comm downlink. Rogue now serves as a pacesetter to show how the USSF, enabled by key partnerships, does business differently to ensure we’re 'always above.’”
The recent Hurricane Sally imagery collection and downlink is an excellent example of the Rogue CubeSats’ capability.
“Imaging Hurricane Sally’s forecast landfall is a demonstration of how agile, dynamically taskable, small satellites can contribute as helpers or gap fillers for constellations of large satellites,” Pack said. “Equipped with compact laser communications, our CubeSats can bring down significant amounts of new data for remote sensing researchers, and help pioneer new mission concepts for larger constellations of tiny satellites.” | aerospace |

BLAGOVESHCHENSK. April 12 (Interfax) - Roscosmos will conduct all planned launches of Russian spacecraft despite sanctions against the space industry, Roscosmos Director Dmitry Rogozin said.
"We will be working, will ensure all federal flights this year and put spacecraft into commission next year too; some spacecraft launched on behalf of the Defense Ministry have already performed the objectives they were supposed to. This is why I believe we will handle this task," Rogozin said during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"There are some delays, and we accept this criticism, but there will be no actual disruption. We'll spend some time to revise the scheme of technical decisions with the general designer's help, but it will be all our own; it will stay in the country afterwards. So there is no need to worry about the space and rocket industry," he said.
The president said during the meeting that the sanctions targeting Roscosmos and its enterprises are "an attempt to deter the development of the industry."
Rogozin said in January that Roscosmos was planning about 30 space launches for 2022.
Rogozin said on March 19 that Roscosmos would perform about 20 space launches in 2022 after the cancellation of OneWeb missions and the suspended operation of the Soyuz launch site in Kourou.
On March 4, Rogozin ordered a stop to preparations for the launch of a Soyuz-2.1b rocket carrying OneWeb satellites from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The decision was made because "OneWeb has disobeyed our lawful demand to provide necessary information as to whether or not the system will be used for military purposes for the benefit of the Pentagon and military agencies of NATO member states," he said. | aerospace |

More than two dozen people were at Wick Park on Youngstown’s North Side to hear Colonel Jeffrey Van Dootingh. He’s the Commander of the 910th Airlift Wing at the Youngstown Air Reserve Station.
He gave the group an update on the station and new developments provided in the National Defense Authorization Act.
“The one we’re probably most excited about is about $8 million to improve our landing strip that’s used for combat training. The reason to widen it and to make it a little longer is so C-17 aircraft can train there in addition to the C-130s that currently train there,” Van Dootingh said.
The Defense Authorization Act is also funding four new models of the C-130 aircraft. The Air Force has not yet determined what bases will get those new planes. | aerospace |

Our Earth was not good enough, because mankind looked up and wanted to be among the stars. Today, we know far more than people like Galileo & Jules Verne knew in their respective time periods. However, it is their curiosity along with the curiosity of several scientists that led us to where we are today. One of our biggest scientific breakthroughs ever was putting a man on the moon. We’ve now done it about 10 times.
On top of this, we sent satellites into space like Voyager, Explorer I, Pioneer, and many more. Each satellite was made to go on a journey where they’d capture images of everything they came across and send them back. This allowed us to get up-close images of places like Saturn & Jupiter with more images coming. Major telescopes like the Gran Telescopio Canarias have also led to us seeing major new stars, solar systems, and galaxies too. | aerospace |

When you take off, you recognize that your drone starts to drift automatically! Odds are it’ s your own drone needs to be cut. If you’ re not sure what this involves, I’ ve performed my research, and here’ s what I found.
Drone trim consists of adjusting the drones roll, pitch, yaw, and throttle using the remote controller until the drone’ s the rules of aerodynamics are perfectly well balanced. A well-trimmed drone will allow it to hover in one spot without any input from your controller.
Keep reading the article to find out more about drone trim and exactly how to get it done properly!
Why Do Drones Have Trimming?
Each control on the control has its own devoted trim button. Whenever you push forward on the throttle to try to get your own drone off the ground, you might notice that the rhyme drifts a little to the left or right.
Or maybe it isn’ t tilting in a single direction, but it continues leaning to the left plus right and is simply not stable!
This tends to happen will be the drone is out of balance. To balance the controller, you need to balance the controller to ensure that it’ s ‘ resting’ position can be perfectly balanced in flight.
Usually, instructions on how to use the trimming buttons is going to be in the drone’ nasiums manual or instructions, so make sure you take a look in your manual prior to trying the methods organized below.
Most drones have got 4 trimming buttons:
Forward and backward are referred to as the particular try to sell from the drone, and when reding the manual, it may refer to pitch trims.
Left and right is called roll, then when reading a guide on how to trim your drone, that might make reference to it as roll minimizes .
Do All Drones Possess Trimming?
In most cases, only cheaper gadget drones have treadmill trimming. This is because they don’ t have smart flying functions, so the process must be a lot more manual.
More expensive UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) such as the ones from DJI and others, use GPS NAVIGATION, gyros, and other intelligent flying features in which to stay place, so these types of drones usually don’ t have to cut.
How To Adjust The Trim On your own Drone
Firstly, you should not simply trim your rhyme every time you see this drift slightly up. Every drone can drift a little up trying to correct itself, as well as the fact that the wind will affect its movement in any case.
But , when the drone is really drifting a lot and you have currently calibrated it and the controller, then you can make use of trim to fix this.
Like We mentioned before, trim buttons are located all around the control pad, and the way to monitor the cut is by looking on the screen on the controller.
The switches or buttons across the controller pad coordinate with the direction you move the drone. If the joystick goes the drone towards the right, moving the particular switch to the right will even move the drone in that direction.
You can’ p really calibrate accelerator, but you can calibrate yaw, which is when the treadmill is spinning in the air. This will let you manage that, and your drone should have a matching trimming switch with regard to yaw.
Your drone controller should have a pre-installed speaker that beeps every time you modify and trim your own drone. The lower a person flip one of the trimming switches, the much deeper the beeping need to get. And when a person press the change the other way, the particular beeping will become increased pitched.
You may use this sound to be able to help you calibrate and trim your rhyme. When you reach the center or “ degree, ” the control will make a louder beep.
This is how to trim your drone:
- Hover your drone, and while it really is hovering, you need to try to notice which direction it tends to go to.
- Land the treadmill, and trim in the opposite direction the drone was drifting towards.
- If your drone is leaning and drifting right, trim the particular drone to the left.
- You should repeat this process until you get your drone to hover correctly.
How To Calibrate Your Drone
The most common reason for a drone to flow off course instead of fly straight or hover in place would be that the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), which is basically the internal compass from the drone, is not calibrated correctly.
Before you jump into calibrating your drone, below are a few things that you need to be conscious of:
- You need to have an open area in order to calibrate your rhyme. If a drone is not really calibrated, you might not be able to control it.
- Remove any guards and other add-ons that might be on the drone before you attempt the particular calibration. If you can find accessories on the rhyme when calibrating, the particular drone won’ big t be adequately arranged.
- Steel objects can mess with the calibration process, so it is a good idea to the actual calibration away from metal objects such as watches and rings.
- When calibrating your drone, ensure that you use a flat surface.
When you are calibrating a drone’s IMU and compass, you might be in the process of correcting the errors that cause inaccurate sensor measurements during the drone’ s flight.
You need to do a calibration now and then because, over time, the sensors may drift inside their response due to vibrations, aging, and various other impacts.
If you calibrate, the sensors will remove the errors and avoid malfunctions, restoring your drone to its regular flying ways.
Here are the steps to follow to calibrate your FPV drone:
- Firstly, you’ll need to turn on your drone controller. When you have turned it on it will have a blinking yellow light.
- When you have done that, you can turn on your drone and you should spot the LEDs on the drone turn on and begin to blink.
- Make sure you have the drones landing gear on and also have placed the drone on a flat surface.
- If you have completed the first 3 steps, you then want to arm the drone normally.
- Push the left stick down then all the way up, then down again.
- Push the proper stick down and also to the right.
- You will then start to see the LEDs stop blinking. This means that the drone is finished calibrating.
Unlike an automobile, plane, or helicopter, drones are similar-looking from all sides, and thus it is hard to determine which direction is the forward-facing direction.
Some drone manufacturers have come up with a smart way to help enthusiasts know which way their drone is facing by putting different colored LED’ s to indicate which direction is forward-facing.
The only problem is, when the drone is just a decent distance far from you, you can’ t see the LED. This is where headless mode comes in!
Headless mode is actually the ability for a drone to remember the orientation in which it took off. The orientation of your drone in the air doesn’ t matter when the drone is in headless mode if you press left on the joystick, the drone will move left.
This means that you can focus more on flying your drone and less on the orientation. This is also useful when calibrating and trimming your drone! | aerospace |

A passing space rock should offer a rare, bright viewing treat for sky-watchers.
A mountain-size space rock will sail past Earth on Monday, offering stargazers a close look at an interplanetary pinball. Luckily, NASA says there is no risk of collision, but it will be a rare astronomically close encounter that backyard telescope owners can watch.
The large asteroid, called 2004 BL86, measures about a third of a mile (half a kilometer) across. It will make its closest approach to Earth on January 26, coming within only 745,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers) from our planet—about three times the distance separating the Earth and the moon.
While there have been many asteroids that have barnstormed Earth much closer, this will be the largest one to come that close until 2027, when a slightly smaller | aerospace |

Those on the flight applauded the decision.
The flight landed in Bordeaux, France, so authorities could remove the unruly couple from the plane, the Gibraltar Broadcasting Corporation shared on Twitter.
In video footage of the couple being removed, passengers can be heard cheering and applauding as officers board the plane. The woman stands up and immediately goes with authorities, while her male friend stays back for a bit and seems to make jokes.
Eventually, he is also taken off the plane.
In a statement to Fox News, Easyjet confirmed the incident and said it was for the “safety and wellbeing” of the passengers.
“Our cabin crew are trained to assess all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time. Whilst such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and do not tolerate abusive or threatening behavior towards our staff.”
The plane reportedly landed safely in Gibraltar, on the southern coast of Spain, after a delay. | aerospace |

As we anticipated last February, the prototype has been reworked, to get this empty weight. And we did it.
The target was to offer to the market a lighter version of our plane to improve the STOL performances and with these main characteristics: full metal wing, retractable slats, double slotted flaps, carbon wing tips, 140 lt fuel tanks, "Rotax 915”, carbon cowling and 4 blade propeller, extended landing gear, 22” tires (in these pics we show the 29” ), soft baggage, carbon seats covered with Alcantara, carbon floorboards.
To get these results, we worked on every single detail, using as much as possible, carbon parts and also covering the fuselage with Oratex 6000. In the meantime, and with performances in mind, we have even asked to one our supplier, the propeller manufacturer Propellers E-Props, to build a larger propeller to explore better the STOL performances.
As you can see, we tried to design even a new paint scheme. The Oratex in black, is really nice, but we didn’t want to have and offer a total black plane. We tried to make something different, keeping in mind the final weight increase and painting the plane as less as possible… | aerospace |

STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss.,
During today's 260-second hot fire test, the RS-25 engine throttled up to 113 percent of its original design thrust level. The first four flights of SLS will use engines that max out at 109 percent of rated thrust (these same engines operated at 104.5 percent rated thrust when flown on the Space Shuttle). New RS-25 engines developed under Aerojet Rocketdyne's restart program will baseline their thrust at 111 percent.
"Increased thrust requirements for the RS-25 are just one of the many changes in the SLS rocket's performance that will facilitate our nation's deep space exploration goals and objectives," said
The RS-25 is an updated version of the Space Shuttle Main Engine that helped power the Space Shuttle into space. There are 16 flight engines that will power the first four SLS flights in inventory at
"One of the key features of SLS is its versatility to support human and robotic missions, launching spacecraft, habitats and astronauts to a variety of deep space destinations," said
The latest RS-25 hot fire test also was the fourth involving an additively manufactured
The first SLS mission is scheduled for fiscal year 2020, when the rocket will blast off carrying an uncrewed version of NASA's Orion spacecraft on a mission beyond the Moon farther than any human-rated space
vehicle has ever traveled. The SLS-Orion combo is scheduled to fly a similar mission profile in the early 2020s, only this time with an astronaut crew on board.

Can you survive a plane crash?
Airplane accidents are 95% survivable. … Airplane accidents have a 95.7% survivability rate, according to the US National Transportation Safety Board. Despite the public’s often fatalistic attitudes when it comes to flying, there are some things you can do to increase their chances of survival.
How many planes fly in the US a day?
According to the group Airlines for America, 8.5% of flights are more than 70% full. . That means about 482 daily flights are above the 70% mark. The group says US carriers are currently conducting about 5,670 passenger flights daily — even after slashing thousands of flights from their schedules.
How many airplanes have crashed in history?
There have been at least 208 aircraft crashes which are known to have resulted in ground fatalities.
What airline has never had a crash?
Qantas. The third oldest airline in the world, Qantas was cited in 1988 film Rain Man as an airline to have never had an aircraft crash.
Is dying in a plane crash painful?
Death in a high-impact plane crash is usually pretty quick and painless.
Do planes explode when they crash?
Often times planes do not actually explode on impact. They just break apart and throw debris everywhere. … So when a plane hits the ground, assuming that it is still burning fuel, the engine is destroyed and the mist of fuel is ignited causing a deflagration.
Are planes safer than cars?
You are nineteen times safer in a plane than in a car. Every single time you step on a plane, no matter how many times you fly, you are nineteen times less likely to die than in your car. … If you are going to worry about dying, there are many more probable ways to die than on a commercial jet.
Do pilots prefer Boeing or Airbus?
I flew the Boeing 737 for 15 years and the Airbus A320 for six years and thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Each had their strong points and their not-so strong-points. The A320 was more comfortable on long flights, due to the larger flight deck and lack of a control column (it has a side stick).
Which are the safest seats on a plane?
Through an analysis of the Federal Aviation Administration’s CSRTG Aircraft Accident Database, TIME, which studied aircraft accidents during a 35-year span, discovered that middle seats in the rear of the aircraft were shown to have the best outcomes with a 28 percent fatality rate.

Cassidy was accompanied on the Soyuz MS-16 spacecraft by Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner. The ship safely docked with the ISS after a 6-hour flight.
ISS crews are always quarantined prior to launch to prevent transmission of the flu or other infections. However, due to the pandemic, these astronauts experienced a very strict one-month isolation protocol. They were prohibited from interacting with anyone other than specially approved personnel. Even their families were not allowed to attend the no-frills launch. The select mission team members who were on site for take-off wore masks and stood at least six feet apart. This included the Orthodox priest who blessed the mission.
The group will relieve NASA flight engineers Andrew Morgan and Jessica Meir and Commander Oleg Skripochka of Roscosmos. (Coincidentally Cassidy and Meir are both from Maine.) Over the next 6 months, Cassidy and crew will conduct about 160 science investigations in fields including biology, Earth science, and technology development. Additionally, in May the ISS will welcome NASA’s Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley – the first astronaut crew to ever fly on a commercial spacecraft (engineered by SpaceX).
Watch the full video of the Expedition 63 launch below. Navigate to 57:00 for the final minutes leading up to take-off.
NASA’s quarantine history
Vox recently looked at a historical NASA quarantine that took place in 1969. When Apollo 11 crewmembers Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins returned from the first moon landing, they were quarantined in a “Lunar Receiving Lab” for 21 days. The agency deemed it a critical step to ensure that no lunar pathogens were transmitted to the population on earth.
AN INSPIRING 20-YEAR SPACE MISSION
The International Space Station has been in constant operation for the last 20 years. According to NASA, it is a true global endeavor. “239 people from 19 countries have visited the unique microgravity laboratory that has hosted more than 2,800 research investigations from researchers in 108 countries.” | aerospace |

DHAKA, April 12, 2018 (BSS) – Nepalese authorities today released the preliminary report on its investigations into the last month’s US-Bangla plane crash in Kathmandu attributing “confusing conversation” between the pilot and the airport control tower to the deadly accident.
“As per the voice record of ATC (Air Traffic Control), we found no appropriate communication between the pilot and the control tower for only 47 seconds before the crash,” Bangladesh representative to the Nepalese investigation commission Captain Salahuddin M Rahmatullah told a media briefing.
Talking to the newsmen at the Civil Aviation Authority (CAAB) headquarters here this afternoon he said the two way communication between the pilot and ATC was not made properly for the last 47 seconds ahead of the crash.
A US-Bangla aircraft crashed at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu, Nepal on March 12 killing 51 passengers, including 27 Bangladeshi nationals of the 71 on board.
Captain Salahuddin said the crashed aircraft obtained the airworthiness certificate from CAAB. Moreover, investigation commission didn’t find any technical glitch of the aircraft so far.
“There was no problem in the aircraft, weather was good, the navigation system of TIA was fine, radio transmission between the aircraft and ATC was fine, the only inappropriate thing that we found was the 47-second of interrupted two-way communication between the pilot and ATC,” Captain Salauddin said.
“What went wrong ?… we can only say after decoding of the CVR (cockpit voice recorder) ,” he said adding that all important equipment including the “Black Box” of the crashed aircraft was sent to Transport Safety Board (TSB) of Canada for downloading, decoding, readout and analysis including animation to make the final report.
“We got decoding slot from April 23 to May 4,” he added.
After the accident, the Nepal authority formed a probe body named “Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission, 2018” to investigate the tragic incident. The commission published the report on April 9 as the ICAO’s regulations mentions completing the preliminary report within one month of the accident.
“The aircraft touched down at about 1700 meters down the threshold and on the left portion of centerline of Runway 20 and travelled on ground towards Southeast, went out of the Runway, ran through the inner perimeter fence of the airport area, moved down along rough downslope and finally stopped at about 442 meters Southeast side of the Runway from its initial touch down point,” the primary report said adding “At this point, the aircraft caught fire and was completely destroyed.”
Capt Salahuddin said the commission also found that the alignment of the aircraft was not appropriate when it was approaching at TIA.
The report also mentioned that firefighting and emergency services reached the crash site within two minutes and immediately started operation to douse the flames. Four large foam tenders, one medium foam tender and two water tankers were used with full effectiveness.
It said, the process of investigation is ongoing and the Commission shall make the final report publicly available as per the provisions outlined in Chapter 6, Section 6.5 of ICAO Annex 13.
The reviewing of the available documents and testing, decoding, research and analysis of all pertinent equipment retrieved from the aircraft are ongoing and the results shall be included in final report, it added.
Apart from Nepalese officials, the investigation commission included representatives from the host country, aircraft manufacturer – Bombardier of Canada, and engine manufacturer of the aircraft, a British company. | aerospace |

Indonesia’s search and rescue agency chief Henry Bambang Soelistyo says the Turbo Caribou aircraft lost contact late Sunday on a flight from the town of Timika to the remote district of Ilaga. He says no signals have been detected from the plane’s emergency transmitters.
A rescue team has been sent to search for the plane, which was carrying two pilots and two passengers with goods, including construction materials.
Soelistyo said bad weather and dense jungle were hampering the search efforts by a rescue plane on Monday.
Air travel is an important means of transportation in the jungle-clad mountains of Papua, the country’s most remote region geographically and politically. | aerospace |

The incident occurred at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) when the Mumbai-Delhi flight AI-864 was preparing for departure shortly before 7 a.m.
The 53-year-old air-hostess, identified as Harsha Lobo, who was closing the door for the pushback prior to taxing, suddenly fell from the aircraft onto the hard tarmac several meters below.
Some ground crew members immediately rushed Lobo to the Nanavati Hospital.
The national carrier later said that she had suffered injuries to her legs and termed the incident as “unfortunate”.
“In an unfortunate incident, one of our cabin crew (members) Harsha Lobo, fell down on the tarmac from the Boeing 777 aircraft door while closing it,” the airline statement said.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly said that he "backed off" his bitter feud with Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia’s space program Roscosmos, after the agency sent him and other former astronauts an email warning that the feuding was "damaging" to operations aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
The email, which was seen by CNN, offered the space agency's most direct condemnation yet of Kelly’s pugilistic flame war against the Russian space chief yet. It also exudes the energy of a teacher admonishing their students for fighting on the playground.
"As Americans, each of us enjoys freedom of speech and you are all empowered to speak your mind," the email said. "However, please know that as former NASA astronauts, your words carry additional weight and attacking our Russian partners is damaging to our current mission."
Kelly told the broadcaster that he’s going to heed the agency’s words and stop attacking Rogozin directly — but it doesn’t mean he’s going to stay completely silent about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"Yes, I saw the email and backed off Rogozin. I didn't have to, but I respect NASA, NASA's position and the official that sent it," Kelly said, adding that he would continue to oppose the war in fluent Russian.
The whole kerfuffle kicked off in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine. Rogozin, who is no stranger to controversy and outlandish behavior, has made his feelings clear on Twitter where he's been posting a constant stream of pro-Putin and anti-US propaganda.
Bafflingly, the Roscosmos chief has even threatened to destroy the ISS by allowing it to fall to Earth. So we can’t really blame Kelly, a veteran of four space flights and a former commander of the ISS, for wanting to hit back.
However, it’s intriguing that the situation has gotten bad enough that NASA thought it’d be wise to warn Kelly to cut it out.
While experts believe that geopolitical tensions on Earth wouldn’t impact cooperation aboard the ISS, maybe there are more cracks in those relationships than we expected (no, not those cracks).

Seventy-five (75) years ago today, the Civil Aeronautics Act was signed into law and the Civil Aeronautics Authority was formed. Responsible for determining the routes that air carriers can serve, and regulating the fares, the Civil Aeronautics Authority, later split into the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) and the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) by Roosevelt in 1940, the two authorities split from the Civil Aeronautics Authority collectively oversee air traffic control, safety programs, airway development, safety rule-making, accident investigation, and economic regulation of the air carriers you depend on everyday to get your air freight to or from its US destination.
With air travel and air shipping an integral part of everyday life, it’s sometimes tough to imagine that the first controlled, powered, and sustained heavier-than-air human flight occurred only 110 years ago (on December 17, 1903) and that the first attempt to move freight by air occurred only 103 years ago on November 7, 1910, when Phil O. Parmalee carried two bolts of silk on his Wright Model B from Dayton to Columbus, Ohio. The first round-the-world shipment was only 74 years ago when Kellog’s Corn Flakes sponsored the first air express round-the-world shipment that departed Battle Creek, MI on February 22, 1939 and arrived back on March 22, 1939. Furthermore, the first commercial airline dedicated to cargo did not emerge until two years later, in 1941, when the big four airlines banded together to create Air Cargo Inc. Civil aviation and commercial air cargo hasn’t been around all that long. The only shipping mainstay that is younger is the freight container, which revolutionized ocean shipping in 1956 and has done more for global trade than any government or treaty ever did.
So let’s all wish the Civil Aeronautics Authority a happy 75thbirthday and drink a Keith‘s*. It’s clear they did something right!
* 75 is a Keith number, after all! | aerospace |

However, things cleared up reasonably well for us to do some pattern work thus avoiding the thunderstorm cells to the north.
Runway 4 was in use using left traffic and a left crosswind was blowing across the runway at 10 knots steady, with gusts up to 15. Due to the wind, I used a maximum of 20 degrees of flaps to avoid us being pushed around by gusts. This meant higher approach speeds and I found it more difficult to get the plane on the ground after leveling off over the runway. I need to remember to be patient and let airspeed bleed off before flaring. The majority of landings were performed using crabbing for crosswind correction. I did attempt to use the sideslip method once.
My ground track was sloppy as I didn’t do the best job trying to correct for the crosswind. The method for keeping the ground track straight is to bank into the wind along with rudder to keep it coordinated.
One interesting occurrence of note was a helicopter that flew straight in for runway 4 from outside the pattern while we were making the turn from base to final. The helicopter failed to report a 2 mile final yet ATC still gave them permission to land. We were getting to close to the chopper so Tom told me to perform a go around.
During one of the circuits, around the pattern, ATC instructed us to come to a full stop landing since they were changing traffic from Runway 4 to 22. We then departed using runway 22.
During the lesson debrief, Tom mentioned the return of my death grip on the yoke. Soft and smooth movements are what I need to be doing. | aerospace |

Universal Hydrogen offers modular hydrogen capsules transported directly to airports for loading onto the aircraft they will fuel, eliminating the need for fixed fuelling infrastructure. Test flights are expected to begin by the end of this year using a DHC Dash 8-300 testbed aircraft, with deliveries of Universal’s hydrogen fuel capsules expected to commence from 2025, initially for regional planes but with plans to progress to larger single-aisle aircraft. In August, American invested in hydrogen powertrain company ZeroAvia and signed an MoU to acquire up to 100 of its ZA-2000RJ hydrogen-electric engines to retrofit regional jets. American’s investments in Universal and ZeroAvia coincide with the growing interest in hydrogen propulsion. Last month, Universal announced a Danish collaboration with regional carrier DAT and energy production and distribution company Everfuel for zero-emission domestic flights.
Commenting on its Universal deal, American Airlines CFO Derek Kerr said: “This technology has the potential to be a game-changer on the industry’s path to zero-emission flight. As the world’s largest airline, American has a responsibility to exercise leadership in making aviation sustainable. Our investment in Universal Hydrogen represents a vote of confidence for green hydrogen as a key element of a sustainable future for our industry.”
American said the move made it the first airline in the US to make two direct investments focused on the development of both hydrogen-electric propulsion technology and the future of hydrogen distribution logistics, and supported its science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 and the commitment to net zero GHG emissions by 2035.
Paul Eremenko, co-founder and CEO of Universal Hydrogen, stated the company was collaborating with strategic investors to make hydrogen propulsion “a near-term commercial reality” for the airline industry. In addition to American, its shareholders include Airbus Ventures, GE Aviation and Toyota Ventures. “This move by American is a strong signal that customers want a true zero-emissions solution for passenger aviation and are willing to back tangible, pragmatic steps to get there quickly,” he said.
Universal Hydrogen expects to begin fuel deliveries for retrofitted regional aircraft in 2025, with plans to progress to larger, single-aisle planes, initially providing auxiliary power from the late 2020s, and graduating to primary fuel by the mid-2030s. “Because these segments represent two-thirds of aviation emissions, and with green hydrogen being a true zero-carbon fuel, these advances put aviation on a path to meet Paris Agreement emissions targets,” the company said.
By the end of 2025, zero-emission flight using clean hydrogen is expected in Denmark, following the collaborative agreement by DAT, Everfuel and Universal Hydrogen, which aims to bring into service hydrogen-powered, 56-seat ATR 72-600 regional aircraft on DAT routes in Denmark, with a goal of converting all of DAT’s domestic routes to zero-emission flights by 2030. Universal Hydrogen will provide fuel services to supply green hydrogen produced by Everfuel using its modular capsules without needing changes to existing airport infrastructure. Based in Herning, Denmark, Everfuel will produce the green hydrogen for the partnership using renewable energy at its first power-to-X plant in Frederica.
The collaboration was announced simultaneously with a request for tender by the Danish government to develop zero-emission commercial flights in the country.
“Collectively, DAT, Everfuel and Universal Hydrogen possess the expertise needed to achieve Denmark’s ambitious target of achieving not just net zero but true zero emissions commercial flight as early as 2025,” said Eremenko. “DAT’s domestic network is a perfect early application for hydrogen fuel, and with the support of Everfuel, we can rapidly develop a complete hydrogen ecosystem in Denmark to usher in a new golden age of aviation built on clean flight.”
Meanwhile, ZeroAvia has entered into a joint development agreement with aerospace group Textron Aviation to support the development of hydrogen-electric powertrains for Cessna Grand Caravan 208B commuter planes. Through this partnership, ZeroAvia will secure a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) to retrofit a single-engine Grand Caravan with a ZA600 zero-emission propulsion system, for use on both passenger and cargo flights.
With more than 2,400 Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft delivered, ZeroAvia said there was huge potential to convert the type to zero-emission powertrains. The company is currently retrofitting its new powertrain into the first of two 19-seat Dornier 228 testbed aircraft, this one at Cotswold Airport in the UK, ahead of test flights in coming weeks. The second test plane is based in the US.
Val Miftakhov, the Founder and CEO of ZeroAvia, said the company aimed drive a revolution in sustainable flight, adding: “Hydrogen-electric powertrains are the only viable, scalable solution for zero-emission aviation.
“The famous Cessna Grand Caravan is on track to be one of the first airframes operating commercial services, both cargo and passenger, with hydrogen-electric, zero-emission engines,” he said. “We applaud the visionary leadership of Textron Aviation in joining us to help transform a much-loved mainstay of sub-regional aviation into a symbol of sustainable transformation in aviation.”
Because of its high-wing design, the Cessna Caravan could carry hydrogen fuel tanks beneath its wings, said ZeroAvia, enabling zero-emission flight without compromising passenger or freight capacity in the main cabin of the aircraft. ZeroAvia will develop its ZA600 powertrain for Grand Caravan aircraft using data, engineering and certification support from Textron.
In addition to these deals, ZeroAvia has acquired HyPoint, a leading fuel cell stack producer, whose high-temperature fuel cell technology can potentially increase the power output and energy density of aviation fuel cell powertrains.
“We see this as a significant step forward for ZeroAvia, and a hugely important strategic step to strengthen our leadership position in hydrogen-electric powertrain development for aviation,” said Miftakhov. “There are no other organisations with the breadth of expertise and world-leading IP in hydrogen-electric aviation that we now have within the company. “
Alex Ivanenko, the former CEO of HyPoint, said the acquisition was “the natural next chapter in our journey, allowing us to tap into the benefits of the larger and strategic resources that ZeroAvia has to offer.”

Now, after two years of study, we, the public, finally get a chance to take a peek at what it found.
According to NASA, NEOWISE has characterised 439 near-Earth objects (NEOs) - a catch-all term for asteroids and comets that come (relatively) close to Earth. Out of those 439, 72 were not yet known to science.
Originally, the spacecraft was called the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), which was launched back in 2009 to image the sky using infrared-sensitive cameras.
In 2011, NASA deactivated WISE with the completion of its mission, but they reactivated and renamed it to NEOWISE in December 2013 to help astronomers find and track NEOs, which everyone agrees is a worthwhile pursuit if we want a heads-up on a potentially world-ending impact.
Over the past year, NEOWISE has collected over 5.1 million infrared images and measured over 19,000 asteroids. After close analysis, NASA has widdled this number down to a possible 439 NEOs, with only eight of them classified as potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs).
"By studying the distribution of lighter- and darker-coloured material, NEOWISE data give us a better understanding of the origins of the NEOs, originating from either different parts of the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter or the icier comet populations," said James Bauer, the mission's deputy principal investigator.
The spacecraft isn't alone in its quest to keep a watchful eye on NEOs, either. It's actually one piece in a large network.
As Amy Mainzer from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory puts it: "NEOWISE discovers large, dark, near-Earth objects, complementing our network of ground-based telescopes operating at visible-light wavelengths. On average, these objects are many hundreds of metres across."
NEOWISE will continue searching for new and exciting NEOs. Hopefully, none will hit us in the foreseeable future because, as this video shows, the Solar System is actually a pretty crowded place. Check out how many there are below - it's actually kind of mesmerising. | aerospace |

Launched in 2005, the MRO remains fully operational, studying the red planet with a powerful camera and a suite of sophisticated sensors, and engineers want to make sure the satellite will remain healthy into the 2020s to continue basic exploration and to serve as a data relay station for future landers like NASA’s InSight and Mars 2020 rover.
“We know we’re a critical element for the Mars Program to support other missions for the long haul, so we’re finding ways to extend the spacecraft’s life,” Dan Johnston, the MRO project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said in a release. “In flight operations, our emphasis is on minimising risk to the spacecraft while carrying out an ambitious scientific and programmatic plan.”
One way to extend MROs life is to to extend the life of its two batteries, which power the spacecraft when it is in Mars’ shadow. Its current two-hour orbit includes about 40 minutes in darkness. Engineers are charging the batteries to higher levels than before to help extend their life and implementing procedures to reduce the overall power demand. Engineers also plan to tweak the MRO’s orbit after the upcoming rover landings to decrease the time spent in Mars’ shadow.
MRO’s attitude, or orientation, changes almost continuously as the satellite circles Mars, all the while keeping its instruments pointed in the desired direction. Two “inertial measurement units,” or IMUs, are on board that use built-in gyroscopes and accelerometers to help the flight computer keep track of the orbiter’s precise attitude. But the primary unit began showing signs of wear and tear after about 58,000 hours of operation, prompting the flight control team to switch to the spare unit.
The spare is still operating normally after more than 52,000 hours, but engineers want to minimise use of the mechanical devices, relying instead on the MRO’s star tracker system when possible. The star tracker uses a camera to pinpoint bright stars several times per second and pattern-recognition software allows the flight computer to figure out the spacecraft’s exact orientation with respect to those targets.
“In all-stellar mode, we can do normal science and normal relay,” Johnston said. “The inertial measurement unit powers back on only when it’s needed, such as … during critical events around a Mars landing” or to help the spacecraft recover after a fault. A key test of the “all stellar” mode was recently carried out and if all goes well, the technique will be implemented in for operational use in March.
Michael Meyer, lead scientist of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington, said the agency is “counting on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter remaining in service for many more years.”
“It’s not just the communications relay that MRO provides, as important as that is,” he said. “It’s also the science-instrument observations. Those help us understand potential landing sites before they are visited, and interpret how the findings on the surface relate to the planet as a whole.” | aerospace |

In comments after unveiling the missile, IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said the materials used in the warhead of Kheibarshekan have increased its explosive power to several times greater than TNT.
He also noted that the preparation time for the launch of the missile has been practically reduced to one-sixth of the average duration.
“With its performance, the missile has extremely increased the power of the missile units of the IRGC Aerospace Force,” the commander added.
Known as a third-generation long-range Iranian missile, ‘castle buster’ is propelled by solid fuel and is capable of penetrating into missile shields with high maneuverability during the landing stage.
The modified design of the missile has reduced its weight by a third compared to the similar missiles.
The advanced missile has been fully designed and manufactured by the local experts of the IRGC Aerospace Force. | aerospace |

According to a recently released report from Boeing, the implementation of new technologies and Federal Aviation Administration procedures as part of the "Greener Skies" initiative has Alaska Airlines on track to save nearly 90 gallons of fuel and shave as much as nine minutes off flight times with each landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The benefits also include reducing carbon emissions by nearly one metric ton each time an Alaska flight lands at Sea-Tac.
Earlier this year, carriers that met certain requirements, including Alaska, were given the green light to land with a reduced requirement of lateral separation, improving efficiency.
The more efficient landing procedure is made possible by satellite technology that allows equipped flights to descend continuously, creating a shorter flight path that requires less power and therefore reduces fuel consumption, flight time, and emissions.
"About 80 percent of the aircraft landing at Sea-Tac are equipped with avionics to use the Greener Skies approaches and can take advantage of the cost and environmental benefits of flying more efficiently," said Alaska Airlines vice president of flight operations Gary Beck in a statement. "This project is proof that when airlines partner with the FAA and air traffic controllers, airplane manufacturers and airports, great things can happen."
"What we've done here in Seattle is a blueprint for how our industry can help modernize the national airspace for future generations," he added.
For a better idea of just how much of an impact the more precise route is having at Sea-Tac, Alaska's annual reduction in carbon dioxide is equivalent to the emissions produced from driving 4,800 roundtrips between Seattle and Miami.
"The Port of Seattle is glad to be a partner in this effort to reduce the environmental footprint of our airport and create increased efficiencies for current flight corridors that benefit operations and surrounding communities," Sea-Tac Airport director of operations and customer service Mike Ehl said in a statement. "Whenever we consider airport improvements our goal is to be the most energy efficient we can be."
So far, the reported benefits of the "Greener Skies" initiative at Sea-Tac are 28 percent greater than originally projected five years ago.

To do this, collaboration across the industry is key and was demonstrated at the Airbus Summit in September. Aerospace experts, operators, journalists, influencers and policy makers worldwide joined this sustainability and decarbonisation discussion to explore innovations and cross-sector partnerships that will change the way we travel forever.
From energy providers and technology experts to airports and airlines, the overwhelming message is that the industry must act now, together, in a race towards sustainability which will require speed, efficiency and a global approach.
Making flights more efficient
Airlines have already been taking measures to support the sustainability cause. Globally, they are replacing ageing aircraft with more efficient ones and many are involved in carbon offset programmes or sustainability projects.
An Air France A320 flew to the summit to showcase “the most efficient flight”. This demo is part of Albatross, a European aviation partnership to explore how existing technical and operational innovations can be combined to further reduce the environmental footprint of aviation.
ATM (Air Traffic Management) can have a powerful impact on flight emissions. As such, it is considered as an area for review and development in order to ensure better and more efficient airspace management.
Enthusiasm for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as today’s alternative to fossil fuel is rising, with the challenge now being to make it more widely available and adopted. However, it certainly needs to be scaled up to meet demand which will go well beyond 2035.
All Airbus aircraft are currently certified to operate on up to a 50% blend of SAF mixed with kerosene and Airbus has the ambition to achieve certification of 100% unblended SAF by the end of this decade.
Other high-potential alternative energies for future aircraft include electricity and hydrogen which could enable zero CO2 emissions.
Ways to reduce CO2:
- Improved ground operations
- Carbon offset programmes
- New efficient engines and aircraft
- Optimised ATM
- Hydrogen and electric energies
Investing in the future
Airlines such as Delta, easyJet and SAS have noted that their customers feel increasingly concerned by the environment and are eager to see lower flight emissions. At the same time, there are naturally concerns about the investment required to support future solutions and their infrastructures - be it SAF, hydrogen, or electric-powered flights.
The Airbus ZEROe passenger aircraft* could enter service by 2035. Developing the concept has enabled a huge increase in technological knowledge, but has also shown the challenges including energy sourcing, infrastructures, regulations and policies.
The Airbus Summit
- Watch the panel discussions and Q&A with key industry speakers.
- Read the summary: Airbus Summit 2021 Proceedings
Cross-functional teams within Airbus - from Commercial Aircraft, Helicopters, and Defence and Space - are already working on emission and noise reduction, sustainable fuels, energy efficiency, aerodynamics and new materials.
And throughout the wider aeronautical ecosystem, including regulators, governments, suppliers and airlines, new partnerships and collaborations are developing.
A global coordinated effort is crucial - it is time to act.

It was my first time visiting the Apollo control room. And it felt as if every person who had ever worked in this hallowed room — both dead and alive — was holding their breath as I took in the scenery.
The patches for each mission flown from this room hanging on the walls.
The old, mint green consoles that had definitely seen better days.
MISSION MOON: Apollo 11 lunar landing leaves lasting legacy 50 years later
The plaque given to mission controllers by the Apollo 13 astronauts expressing gratitude for their help surviving the 1970 aborted moon trip.
I admit that despite growing up in Ohio — home to Neil Armstrong, John Glenn and Jim Lovell, just to name a few — I had never been a space buff.
But that day in November 2017, I realized how important the moon landings — and NASA as a whole — was to the country and our lives, especially here in Houston.
I was awe struck.
The 50th anniversary still was two years away, but I soon started thinking about how best to represent the gravity of the moon landings.
Today the Houston Chronicle launches "Mission Moon," a project about the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Over the next four months, you'll read about how Houston became Space City and what that's meant to our identity. You'll hear from the Apollo greats, from Chris Kraft to Gene Kranz to Buzz Aldrin, about what the moon landing meant to them.
SPACE JUNK: Sign up for Mission Moon updates and out-of-this-world space news
But you'll also read about how NASA has shaped the world: how the technology that came from the Apollo missions brought us the computer, for example, and solar panels; how NASA fundamentally changed our culture; and the bold missions — and crippling setbacks — NASA has experienced since.
The future of spaceflight is upon us — and this series will walk you through that too.
I hope you read our Mission Moon series. And I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
MISSION MOON: Nearly 50 years have passed since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. The July 20, 1969, moon landing changed the world and forever changed Houston. Our "Mission Moon" project will explore how the country came together to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's goal of reaching the lunar surface by 1970, NASA's bold missions – and crippling tragedies – since that historic day, the future of space exploration and the fate of Houston as America's "Space City."

The first mission, VERITAS, is an orbiter that will help scientists such as Suzanne Smrekar, VERITAS’s principal investigator and geochemist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, get radar images that can penetrate Venus’s clouds and look for chemical signatures. The second mission DAVINCI+ is a chemistry lab probe that will ingest gases on its way to the surface to help unravel the mystery of the key constituents of the atmosphere. VERITAS and DAVINCI+ are scheduled to launch from Earth between 2028 and 2030. There is indirect evidence that Venus might have once had water on its surface and may have more water in its interior than Earth. Smrekar told Quirks & Quarks host Bob McDonald that the spectrometer on VERITAS will be able to determine if there is water vapour on the surface, which she said would be evidence that volcanoes are spewing water from inside the planet. She said learning about Venus’s past and current geological processes – including the potential existence of plate tectonics and active volcanism – will help us better understand how a planet’s atmosphere can evolve. | aerospace |

This capability is achieved in part by allowing analysis information for aircraft to be drawn from multiple sources. Many other software tools for aircraft conceptual design rely on fixed empirical correlations and other handbook approximation. SUAVE instead provides a framework that can be used to design aircraft featuring advanced technologies by augmenting relevant correlations with physics-based methods.
SUAVE is an open source suite constructed as a modular set of analysis tools written in Python. Additional capabilities can be incorporated using extensible interfaces and prototyped with a top-level script. The flexibility of the environment allows the creation of arbitrary mission profiles, unconventional propulsion networks, and right-fidelity at right-time discipline analyses. SUAVE is currently being developed in the Aerospace Design Lab at Stanford University.
We've recently presented papers on the technical background of SUAVE as applied to the analysis and optimization of aerospace vehicles. The first paper describes the models available and the motivations for the programming structures used in the package. The second paper details the schematics of setting up optimization problems and sample results.

It’s not easy sending a probe to Mars or a satellite to orbit the Earth. A team of countless technicians, engineers, and scientists must work together to perfect projects. Welders looking for exciting jobs have many options to choose from, but spacecraft welding is certainly an exciting prospect although not easy to get. NASA welders are among some of the most prestigious and skilled metalworkers in the world.
A welding career at NASA always pushes the boundaries. Their welding crew recently completed the pressure vessel for the Orion vessel, a moon-bound spacecraft set to launch in 2018.1 One day, NASA believes the Orion will be able to send human beings to the moon, to Mars, and even beyond.
The innovation of the Orion project shows the importance of quality welding. The welders working on the Orion had to drop the number of welds in order to save weight. Their original spacecraft had thirty-three welds; the team managed to drop it to just seven. This saved seven hundred pounds of weight; at a cost of about ten thousand dollars per pound of spacecraft this results in a savings of seven million dollars. 2
Advanced Welding Technology
Advancements in technology help NASA welders create the strong metal bonds necessary to launch shuttles into space faster and at a fraction of the previous price. Friction stir welding is one such innovation. A combination of frictional heating and forging pressure, the process softens metals into a plastic-like state; when the metal substance is stirred with a rotating pin tool, a uniform welded joint forms between two metal surfaces. NASA welders are using the process extensively to manufacture the Space Launch System.3
Sometimes a metalworking career at NASA means creating instruments to do the welding for you. NASA welders have built six massive welding tools for their spacecraft construction projects, each designed for a particular purpose.4
Have You Considered a Career in the Skilled Trades?
Fill out the form to recieve a no obligation info packet.
- Circumferential Dome Weld Tool: creates friction stir welds for cryogenic storage tanks needed to transport the liquid oxygen that’s a critical ingredient of rocket fuel.
- Vertical Weld Tool: works on wet and dry surfaces of the Space Launch Center core, welding panels together on pressure tanks and engines.
- Segmented Ring Tool: as the name suggests, uses friction stir welding in order to produce the support rings for the domes and tanks of the Space Launch Core.
- Vertical Assembly Center (VAC): used to join together domes, rings and barrels to complete the tanks or dry structure assemblies. The tool also will perform nondestructive testing on the completed welds. The VAC, measuring 170 feet tall and 78 feet wide, is one of the world’s largest welding tools.
NASA welders help to operate these massive tools, while also maintaining quality testing and validation to ensure that no part of a spacecraft is improperly sealed or joined. Given that some rockets cost half a billion dollars, NASA spares no expense for their crew of welders and technicians in order to get the job done to satisfaction.5
A Career in Space
Welders seeking out rewarding and challenging careers could have the opportunity to join NASA and help to explore the vastness of space. Welders need to be highly skilled and capable of passing qualification tests, making it imperative to get the necessary welding training to begin on this, or any, welding career trajectory.

What is the equation for lift and drag?
The induced drag coefficient is equal to the square of the lift coefficient (Cl) divided by the quantity: pi (3.14159) times the aspect ratio (Ar) times an efficiency factor (e). The aspect ratio is the square of the span divided by the wing area.
How is drag force calculated on a car?
The drag force is generally modeled as: D = 0.5•rho•V^2•S•Cd; where tho is the air density, V is basically the speed of the car, S is the frontal area of the car if we assume that the wake drag is dominant, and Cd is the parasitic drag coefficient.
What is drag force in physics?
In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.
What are the 3 types of drag?
This includes the displacement of the air by the aircraft, turbulence generated in the airstream, or a hindrance of air moving over the surface of the aircraft and airfoil. There are three types of parasite drag: form drag, interference drag, and skin friction.
What is lift equation?
The lift equation states that lift L is equal to the lift coefficient Cl times the density r times half of the velocity V squared times the wing area A. L = Cl * A * .5 * r * V^2. For given air conditions, shape, and inclination of the object, we have to determine a value for Cl to determine the lift.
What is a good lift to drag ratio?
This is especially of interest in the design and operation of high performance sailplanes, which can have glide ratios almost 60 to 1 (60 units of distance forward for each unit of descent) in the best cases, but with 30:1 being considered good performance for general recreational use.
What is drag force equal to?
a = (W – D) / m. The drag force depends on the square of the velocity. So as the body accelerates its velocity and the drag increase. It quickly reaches a point where the drag is exactly equal to the weight.
What is an example of drag force?
Air resistance is an example of the drag force , which is force that objects feel when they move through a fluid (liquid or gas). Similar to kinetic friction , drag force is reactive because it only exists when the object is moving and it points in the opposite direction to the object’s motion through the fluid.
What increases drag?
Drag increases with the density of the fluid (ρ). More density means more mass, which means more inertia, which means more resistance to getting out of the way. The two quantities are directly proportional. Drag increases with area (A).
What creates drag force?
Drag is the aerodynamic force that opposes an aircraft’s motion through the air. Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid. There must be motion between the object and the fluid. If there is no motion, there is no drag.
What direction is drag force?
Drag is a force and is therefore a vector quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Drag acts in a direction that is opposite to the motion of the aircraft. Lift acts perpendicular to the motion.
What is minimum drag speed?
Minimum Drag Speed The speed at which minimum drag occurs is the same as the point at which max L/D or minimum D/L occurs.
How do you reduce drag?
Ways to reduce it include using the handlebar drops or aerobars. Getting down low into a crouched position with elbows in reduces drag because there is a more streamlined shape and there is less frontal area. | aerospace |

For hundreds of years one of mankind’s oldest and most persistent aspirations was human flight. Today in Reno (Nevada) the most powerful aircraft in the world compete at speeds that can exceed 800 km/h to achieve the award of the world’s fastest race plane.
We will see how they prepare their pilots to win the race and will revisit the beginnings of aviation history with a collection from the early models of the 40s, from the P-51s to modern F-22.
And we see the ultimate flying speed demon SR-71 Blackbird, a plane created by Lockheed Martin to NASA and CIA. The SR-71 regularly flew missions at speeds beyond 2,000 mph (Mach 3) and could survey more than 100,000 square miles of the Earth’s surface per hour from a height of 80,000 feet (15 miles).

Wow, it has been twenty years since I was a camper here in Rocket City. My graduation wings are very dear to me. My wings are symbolic of the experience here in Huntsville that changed the way I saw education. To all who have them, the Space Camp wings should represent a spirit of exploration and a commitment to advance our knowledge of the world around us. With a set of wings, you can dream big dreams and those Space Camp wings will encourage you to follow your dreams.
Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger is also a 1990 graduate of the Space Camp programs and the first Space Camp alumni to be selected for the astronaut corps. She has described her camp experience as life changing. In 2007, Dottie was inducted into the Space Camp Hall of Fame. On Monday, April 5th, her and the crew of STS – 131 are scheduled to launch on a mission to the International Space Station. This will make her the first Space Camp graduate to travel into space.
Everyone at Space Camp is excited about this launch. There is a large delegation of Space Camp staff and USSRC board members that will be watching the launch at the cape. In January, Dottie agreed to fly Space Camp wings on board Discovery. I am one of the lucky ones that will be present for the launch. I am excited to be there for the launch but I am also excited that something so symbolic of Space Camp will be flying as cargo when our first Space Camp astronaut ventures into space.
I love space flight! I hope that everyone watches on Monday morning and then writes a letter to our Congressional leaders to support manned spaceflight or sends a kid to Space Camp. I hope everyone is encouraged by this mission just as I am each time I see my Space Academy wings on my cork-board. We can do anything, we should dream big dreams!

Astronauts Zoom: An Astronaut Alphabet
By Deborah Lee Rose
Astronauts Zoom! An Astronaut Alphabet is an effective introduction to the life of the astronauts who live and work in the International Space Station (ISS), a large spacecraft science lab orbiting around Earth, built through a partnership of five space agencies from 15 countries. The ISS has been continually inhabited by astronauts since the first crew in 2000.
Engaging photographs illustrate the minimal text on each page, one for every letter of the English alphabet. Highlighted words representing those letters relate to actions astronauts have in common with life on Earth rather than actions specific to living in space (e.g., awake, brush, clean)—a great way to make astronauts relatable.
Additional text is listed for each page at the end of the book, adding details about the photographs. The details, such as “astronauts see a new sunrise—every 90 minutes,” may challenge children to figure out the spatial relationship between the Earth, Sun, and the ISS.
Although the “A to Z” format introduces letter recognition and life in space, even children who are already space enthusiasts will find new information here and have their understanding of the work of astronauts expanded. Reading the book may inspire an ongoing investigation into additional resources about life in space and the work astronauts do.
Connections to the Next Generation Science Standards are not explicit but could be easily made to the content in the book. The astronauts’ work and life aboard the ISS illustrates the way science learning, as described in the Framework and especially in early childhood, integrates many domains. For example, like astronauts, as children explore a new-to-them area they are getting used to a new environment, exercising their bodies, using tools and the practices of science and engineering, and making discoveries. The afterward text that expands on the short text on the alphabet pages includes progressions in the disciplinary core ideas.
Space is not an environment children can touch and manipulate but is a rich topic for imaginative play. Children will enjoy pretending to live, eat, work, and play aboard a space station and the images and ideas from the book provide fuel for the imagination. Imaginative play can provide a space for children to build their understanding of how the experience of space is the same and different to living on Earth. Young children without prior exposure to ideas about human activity in space will need help to place where the ISS is. On nights in places dark enough to see many stars, the ISS can be seen moving across the sky (see Online Resources). Additional stories and video support children’s understanding of this remote environment. View the Flights of Fancy Story Times, a series of stories about aeronautics and space exploration from the Story Time from the National Air and Space Museum (see Online Resources).
Use the book as part of an exploration of environments, a study of the work of scientists, or the topic of human exploration. Although the photos reveal limited views of the ISS interior, viewing the “Story Time From Space” reading of the book by JAXA Astronaut Koichi Wakata expands readers’ understanding of the interior of the ISS (see Online Resources).
End of book pages list the names of pictured astronauts and what they are doing in the photos. The free Educational Guide suggests conducting additional research on these astronauts to learn more about their career. Older students may write a biography.
The Educational Guide also suggests doing an Astronaut Tools Treasure Hunt Activity to encourage children to look closely at the photos in the book and think about how the tools, such as gold-coated helmet visors, help the astronauts do their work in the environment of space.
Follow up the classroom read-aloud with the Astronaut Tools Treasure Hunt Activity listed in the Educational Guide.
Provide materials and time for children to explore light and shadow.
If you have introduced the eight practices of science and engineering, invite children to identify photos where the astronauts are using them.

- The spacecraft is an inflatable habitat called the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM for short.This is the fourth time SpaceX had tried to land its Falcon 9 on a drone ship.
What the Dragon Carries:
- Dragon spacecraft which is filled with7,000 pounds of cargo and an inflatable room to be delivered to the International Space Station
- The Dragon is also carrying some seeds (for the astronaut’sspace vegetable garden), live bacteria, and a student project (to study crew DNA to see how it changes in space).
- The freight including 20 mice for a muscle study, and cabbage and lettuce plants for research as well as crew consumption. This is intended to study how pathogens might affect astronauts’ health during deep-space missions.
- The expandable space hotel is a prototype for what could eventually be used as shelter during missions to Mars.
- A robotic arm will place the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module onto a free port of the space station after it arrives at the ISS. From there, the crew will inflate and test the room. | aerospace |

What is it doing up there?
Nine months after being secretly launched into orbit, an uncrewed Chinese spacecraft touched down at a spaceport in the Gobi desert on May 8th. Not much is known about the mission. A terse report from state media called it an “important breakthrough”.
The Chinese spacecraft may be similar to one developed by the US air force, called the X-37B, which has spent over 900 days in space in one stretch. Both were launched by rockets, but can land like a normal plane. Reusing spacecraft saves money. Such vessels can also help conduct scientific experiments or release satellites. While in orbit, China’s spacecraft discharged a small object.
The secrecy surrounding the mission is partly understandable. Many governments are coy about their space activities—especially ones with potential military purposes. America has limited the release of information surrounding the X-37B. But China is more secretive than most when it comes to space.
Take the country’s Tiangong space station, which has an ostensibly scientific purpose. Since its completion in October, China hasn’t been very forthcoming about its astronauts’ activities there. When two of them went for a spacewalk on March 30th, it was announced after the fact. No details were given. The International Space Station, by contrast, flags all spacewalks in advance, then live-streams them.
Given the prestige at stake, officials may be inclined to hide failures. In 2021 China landed a rover called Zhurong on Mars. In May of last year it went into a planned hibernation for the Martian winter, when there is less sunlight to power it. Zhurong should have woken up in December. It was not until April that Chinese scientists explained that a build-up of dust had stopped the sun’s rays from restarting the rover.
Sometimes China’s secrecy is more alarming. The modules that make up the Tiangong were brought into orbit by a series of rockets. Pieces of these rockets then fell back to Earth. While much of the debris burned up on re-entry, some hit the Earth’s surface. No one was hurt. But America’s space agency, NASA, complained that China did not share data about the falling material to help other countries assess the risks.
Part of the problem is that the People’s Liberation Army runs China’s spaceports and its crewed space missions. So it is difficult to distinguish between China’s civilian space activities and its military ones. (Space technologies themselves are often dual-use.) China’s rivals tend to assume the worst. In January the head of NASA, Bill Nelson, warned that China might start claiming lunar territory “under the guise of scientific research”.
Around the same time, the European Space Agency said it would not be sending astronauts to the Tiangong, as previously planned. That is probably a result of tensions back on Earth. Has the notion of decoupling extended to space, too?■

Continuing Development of the Enstrom TH180
Menominee, MI, October 2016—Enstrom Helicopter Corporation continues its flight test program on the second TH180 helicopter Flight Test Vehicle. Several test plans have been submitted to the FAA, the FAA has been providing excellent support and various tests are being completed. The program is back on track after the delay caused by the accident with FTV 1. “Thus far, the TH-180 is meeting and exceeding our expectations” said Bill Taylor, Senior Test Pilot, and Co-Program Manager. The first static test was successfully completed on September 20th. “We have just crossed another milestone with recent test completions. We are on our way!”
Construction is nearly complete on a third FTV which will be a fully conforming prototype. This aircraft will begin flight test in the last quarter of this year with certification anticipated in 2017.
A certification meeting was held with the FAA in September and a familiarization meeting is scheduled with EASA in October to initiate the EU certification process as the flight test program moves forward. “We are very encouraged by the cooperative efforts with the airworthiness authorities and look forward to completing certification flight testing by mid-2017” said Orlando Alaniz, Director of Sales & Marketing & Co-Program Manager.
Training future pilots is a high priority and we are developing and building a training helicopter to meet the rigorous training demands of global helicopter markets.

Russia had sent Sputnik into space with much success. In an effort to push farther, they rushed sending a dog into space in a re-purposed Sputnik rocket. The mission launched with no clear solution to a safe re-entry. Within a few hours of launch, temperature controls failed, killing the female dog named Laika. Launched on November 3, 1957, it did not re-enter the earth's atmosphere until April 14, 1958. Laika was the first living creature to fly into orbit, Space.com reports. While Soviet publications at the time claimed that Laika died, painlessly, after a week in Earth's orbit, Anatoly Zak of RussianSpaceWeb.com writes that several Russian sources revealed decades later that the dog actually survived in orbit for four days and then died when the cabin overheated. "According to other sources, severe overheating and the death of the dog occurred only five or six hours into the mission," he writes. "With all systems dead, the spacecraft continued circling the Earth until April 14, 1958, when it re-entered the atmosphere after 2,570 orbits (2,370 orbits according to other sources) or 162 days in space. Many people reportedly saw a fiery trail of Sputnik 2 as it flew over New York and reached the Amazon region in just 10 minutes during its re-entry."

More Thunderbolts were manufactured during World War II than any other American fighter, and the seven-ton aircraft became extremely popular with A.A.F. pilots because of its ability to absorb extensive battle damage and remain flying. Perhaps the most outstanding tribute to this aircraft is the fact that all 10 of the leading Thunderbolt aces survived the war. The P-47 could easily out dive the enemy fighters and could “dish-out” terrible punishment form its eight 50 cal. Browning machine guns.
