Here are some of the things you’ll experience during flight adventure and training in the UAE. That will make you feel like you’re actually flying.
In addition to the above, the simulator itself feels like an actual cockpit
The Boeing 737 aircraft has been rolling off the production lines since 1967 and is currently the most widely used equipment in the history of civil aviation. 737 NG stands for Next Generation, which is the third generation 737 model. It has been in production since 1996 and represents the most radical update of the first generation. It incorporates the classic (conventional) control system, where the flight controls and the flight control surfaces are connected by cables. This enables the pilots to get the feedback from the aircraft and read its responses in real time.
The principal control tool is the control yoke, which you must have seen in photos and movies. The 737NG is equipped with the Glass Cabin, in which the fundamental flight parameters are displayed on computer screens, and yet, you can still find a few needle-type instruments in the cockpit. By and large, the aircraft is almost entirely controlled by automatic instrumentation, but the pilot is virtually free to fly the plane manually. | aerospace |

The flight was uncrewed, and nobody on the bottom was damage by falling particles.
Lifting off from Blue Origin’s launch facility in West Texas, the sub-orbital New Shepard rocket, which has efficiently carried out six crewed and 17 uncrewed flights to the sting of house since 2015, seemed to be climbing usually.
But 65 seconds into the mission, simply because the booster started to expertise most aerodynamic stress at 661 mph and 27,800 toes, a big flame abruptly burst from the bottom of the rocket. About a second later, the car was engulfed by a big explosion.
As anticipated in such a state of affairs, the crew capsule’s emergency escape system activated, propelling the capsule away from the explosion at excessive velocity.
Commentary on Blue Origin’s livestream halted for about 45 seconds because the capsule started to fall again to Earth.
“It appears we have experienced an anomaly on today’s flight,” the commentator finally stated. “This wasn’t planned, and we don’t have any details yet, but our crew capsule was able to escape successfully. We’ll follow its progress through landing.”
About 5 minutes later, with its parachutes totally deployed, the capsule touched down within the West Texas desert.
The workforce is now investigating what prompted the New Shepard’s first midair failure in 23 flights.
The launch of Monday’s flight, which was carrying 36 science payloads, was delayed for about an hour, although Blue Origin has but to say why.
Blue Origin has been utilizing its New Shepard rocket to ship paying passengers on quick journeys to the sting of house as a part of a fledgling house tourism service. Blue Origin proprietor and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was certainly one of 4 folks to take the primary crewed flight to about 62 miles above Earth in July 2021.
It’s too early to say how in the present day’s accident will affect future Blue Origin flights. But the corporate might be happy to have seen the capsule’s emergency escape system deploying as supposed, with the security mechanism’s success additionally offering reassurance to anybody contemplating taking a New Shepard flight sooner or later. | aerospace |

According to UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) the concept aircraft was put together by British firms BAE Systems, Leonardo, MBDA and Rolls-Royce in cooperation with Royal Air Force (RAF) Rapid Capabilities Office, collectively known as Team Tempest.
“Team Tempest brings together the UK’s world leading industry and sovereign capabilities across future combat air’s four key technology areas: advanced combat air systems and integration (BAE Systems); advanced power and propulsion systems (Rolls-Royce); advanced sensors, electronics and avionics (Leonardo) and advanced weapon systems (MBDA),” the UK Ministry of Defence said.
The development of Tempest is part of UK MOD’s new Combat Air Strategy, also unveiled by Secretary Williamson at Farnborough International Airshow.
“We have been a world leader in the combat air sector for a century, with an enviable array of skills and technology, and this Strategy makes clear that we are determined to make sure it stays that way. It shows our allies that we are open to working together to protect the skies in an increasingly threatening future – and this concept model is just a glimpse into what the future could look like,” Williamson said.
UK MOD aims to put the next generation fighter jet Tempest in operational capability by 2035, and replace Typhoon in 2040. “Early decisions around how to acquire the capability will be confirmed by the end of 2020, before final investment decisions are made by 2025,” UK MOD said.
However, as part of the new Combat Air Strategy, UK MOD will still continue to invest in Typhoon’s sensors and weapons systems to maintain combat effectiveness and competitiveness before its retirement from RAF.
“The MOD will continue to invest in the Typhoon for decades to come, with the best technologies being carried forward on to next-generation systems,” UK MOD said.
“The F-35 Lightning II and the Typhoon are two complementary multi-role combat aircraft that will make up the RAF’s combat air fleet, placing the UK at the forefront of combat air technology – with the Typhoon expected to remain in UK service until at least 2040,” it added.

Asteroid 2002 AJ129 – which at 0.7 miles is wider than the tallest building in the U.S. (New York’s One World Trade Center) stacked on top itself – is predicted to miss our planet, according to Metro. However, it will pass relatively close when thinking in terms of Outer Space.
NASA classifies any space object surpassing 459 feet wide and passing within 4,660,000 miles of Earth as “hazardous,” according to a 2013 report on the space agency’s website. There are about 1,000 such known space objects monitored by NASA.
This asteroid is more than eight times wider than the minimum (3,696 feet) and will pass within just over half the minimum distance (2,615,128 miles) to our planet.
For a reference point, the moon orbits Earth at a distance of about 238,855 miles.
The giant asteroid is expected to “narrowly” miss our planet on Feb. 4, whizzing passed us at a whopping 67,000 miles per hour. It will be the biggest and fastest space object to fly near Earth this year, according to The Daily Star.
Although the rock will almost certainly not collide with us, as long as it remains within its current trajectory, scientists have previously warned that such an impact could have a dire impact on our planet.
“These would not be pleasant times,” Charles Bardeen, of the National Center for Atmospheric Research said during a presentation at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) said, according to The Daily Mail.
A 2016 study found that the impact of a slightly smaller space object would bring about a mini Ice Age. Temperatures would fall across the planet as much as 8 degrees Celsius. The effects would last for several years, leading to potentially severe devastation around the globe, not to mention the havoc caused by the initial impact.
However, such an impact would not likely lead to a global extinction event. The space rock that wiped out the dinosaurs is estimated to have been between 6.2 and 9.3 miles wide.
Fortunately, NASA scientists don’t foresee any such incident occurring in the near future. Nonetheless, the space agency is planning for the worst.
Current technology wouldn’t be able to stop such a massive object from hitting our planet, but NASA has plans in place to mitigate the impact of such a direct hit. Additionally, the space agency is developing a refrigerator-sized spacecraft that would be able to prevent such collisions. The technology is slated for testing in 2024.
“NASA established its Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO) in 2016, which is responsible for finding, tracking and characterizing potentially hazardous asteroids and comets coming near Earth, issuing warnings about possible impacts, and assisting plans and coordination of U.S. government response to an actual impact threat,” a press release on the agency’s website explains.
The deflection technology under development would change “the speed of a threatening asteroid by a small fraction of its total velocity.” If this is done long enough before a predicted impact, the relatively small nudge will “add up over time to a big shift of the asteroid’s path away from Earth.”
NASA and FEMA have even teamed up for emergency planning exercises, in case of a future collision scenario.
“It is critical to exercise these kinds of low- probability but high-consequence disaster scenarios,” FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said after one such planning session in 2016. “By working through our emergency response plans now, we will be better prepared if and when we need to respond to such an event.” | aerospace |

The problem is that there really hasn’t been any comprehensive way to keep track of all the various Space Probes out there. Sure each NASA probe will have a detailed page on the NASA page, but since each probe is a different project with different webmaster, servers and engineers each one will have a different layout style (NASA’s style guide seems to be limited to suggestions). Not to mention finding those Space Probe pages can involve quite a bit of google-fu sometimes, especially if you are forgetting the name and mission (“The probe on Mars? Which one?”). The situation isn’t horrible, mind you, but it could be so much better.
Enter Spaceprob.es, which was launched on Feb 19th of this year and covers 29 active Space Probes:
spaceprob.es’ main page has a simple layout showing 29 active Space Probes in descending order of their distance from the Earth. This puts the long-running Voyagers well at the top of the heap, while the Martian probe (all 7 of them ) indicate Mars’ present distance from Earth (334.92 million miles as of this writing).
Clicking on a Space Probe’s graphic leads to a special page with more details, including the space probe’s history, mission, as well as links to the latest news and special links to the probe’s major findings and images.
SpaceProb.es was started by two women, Ariel Waldman and Lisa Ballard, who have an active history with NASA and are presently doing this as a project of love. You can help support them by buying one of their silhouette sticker sets or an art print. | aerospace |

The item resembles a flying saucer that crashed on Mars.
And in fact it is.
But it does not belong to aliens.
Rather, the wreckage is the do the job of NASA, a part identified as a backshell that detached through the landing of the Perseverance rover on the surface area of the crimson planet in February 2021.
“There’s definitely a sci-fi ingredient to it,” Ian Clark, an engineer who labored on Perseverance’s parachute technique, claimed of photographs unveiled Wednesday. “It exudes otherworldly, does not it?”
After shelling out a yr exploring the rocks of the crater it landed in, the Perseverance rover passed in close proximity to its landing internet site on its way to a river delta that after flowed alongside the western rim of the crater. The rover’s tiny robotic companion, the helicopter Ingenuity, carries on to tag alongside.
Through its 26th flight past week, Ingenuity took 10 shots all through its 159 seconds in the air masking 1,181 toes. Those people present the backshell, or the top half of the landing capsule that shielded Perseverance and Ingenuity as they plunged as a result of the Martian environment. Nonetheless attached is the 70-foot-large parachute that slowed the vehicles’ descent.
The parachute and backshell detached from the rover at an altitude of 1.3 miles. A rocket-powered method named Skycrane took Perseverance the relaxation of the way to the surface area, whilst the backshell and parachute landed far more than a mile away to the northwest.
The backshell, virtually 15 ft in diameter, strike the ground at about 78 mph, partially shattering. Usually, almost everything appears to be like to be in superior form — no apparent indicators of charring. The parachute appears to be intact as do the suspension strains connecting the parachute to the backshell. But engineers have just began scrutinizing the new pictures in element.
“They say a picture’s really worth 1,000 words and phrases, but it’s also well worth an infinite amount of engineering comprehending,” Clark explained.
Finding out the stays of the backshell could demonstrate practical for NASA’s future huge Mars experience — bringing again rocks and soil from Mars to Earth for more in depth research. That mission, termed Mars Sample Return, will want to place two landers on the area — a rover to acquire rock samples staying drilled by Perseverance, and a small rocket to launch the samples into orbit for yet another spacecraft to decide up to provide back again to Earth.
“We use all of our ideal styles, all of our most effective examination resources,” Clark explained. The photos aid validate how very well the types and assessment worked, adding self esteem to the designs in the future.
Kenneth Farley, the mission’s venture scientist, was fascinated not just by the “truly spectacular” pictures of the components but also what the hardware transpired to land on.
“Remarkably, this wreckage wound up suitable on the contact in between the two rock formations on the crater flooring,” Farley said in an e mail. The two formations, named Seitah and Maaz, equally consist of volcanic rocks. But they are pretty various in composition. Seitah is abundant in olivine that settled out of thick magma, perhaps a lava lake. Maaz, which is on prime and hence almost certainly younger, has a composition very similar to most basaltic lava flows — complete of minerals regarded as pyroxene and plagioclase but with minor or no olivine.
A line of rocks that runs from the backshell to an location just following to the parachute is wherever the two formations satisfy. “We want to know how these rocks may be connected to every other,” Farley reported.
The mission’s researchers had been so intrigued by the geology that Ingenuity created another move around the dividing line amongst Seitah and Maaz on Sunday. Those people pictures will be sent back to Earth on Thursday.
Perseverance has also been occupied during its drives.

Today, we will introduce the relevant parts of drones. Understanding the knowledge of drone parts will not only enrich your confidence in drone flight, but also will help you to build a drone kit.
The parts for building a drone fishing kit are as follows: the propeller, the brushless motor, the landing gear, the rack, the motherboard of a drone, the GPS module.
Generally speaking, the propeller is installed above the drone in most cases. The propeller pushes down the air and generates lift force through the characteristics of reaction force. Although there is few differences when observing the propellers from the top and the bottom, they still have the obverse and the reverse. The oars and wings are mostly made of ultralight carbon fiber, so the overall fuselage is lighter.
At present, almost all new drones in the market have used the external rotating brushless motors, because they are safer, more efficient and with lower noise than brush motors. The design of the motor is equally important, because motors with higher efficiency can save the battery life and increase the flight time of drones, which are expects of every user. Ideafly Poseidon products with quality batteries can easily meet the needs of users.
Tips: Users should check the motor regularly to ensure that the motor is clean and complete. Most of the noise of the drones comes from the motor. If you feel that the motor produces abnormal sound during the use, you should check whether there is a problem with the motor. Therefore, it is better to prepare several spare motors before flying.
It is necessary to install a landing gear if the Poseidon 480 fishing drone needs to take off and land on irregular ground or in complex environment.
The rack is the main part of a drone. The shell is made of corrosion-resistant special plastic material. In addition to the lightness and and flexibility, the shell is also processed with nano waterproof treatment, which can protect the internal wiring and electronic parts from the corrosion of sea water and salt sand, so as to prolong the service life. Generally speaking, large racks can increase the maneuverability of drones, while the drones with small racks are more stable.
This is the central hub of a drone, which contains batteries, flight control, electronic speed controller, camera, receiver, etc.
GPS modules are usually combined by receivers and magnetometers to provide latitude, longitude, altitude and heading. GPS is an important condition for navigation and autonomous flight. The application scope of drones is very narrow without GPS. | aerospace |

As a barefoot lad in the Outer Hebrides, Bill Innes dreamed the impossible dream of becoming a pilot and this book tells how that dream came to pass.
The author’s career of over forty years spanned a period of incredible advances in the air – now regarded as a golden era in aviation. After gaining his RAF wings in Canada he really started to learn his trade by flying pre-war Dakotas for British European Airways around the Highlands and Islands of Scotland – one of the most testing aviation-operating areas in the world. The experience was to stand him in good stead as he moved to London to fly classic 20th century British aircraft such as the Viscount, Comet, Vanguard and Trident.
The narrative comes alive through tales of the many characters encountered in a time before flight recorders. There are authentic versions of some of the most famous anecdotes in the folklore of the sky, but also reflections on training philosophy and techniques which have a relevance outwith aviation. Along the way he explored his limits, barnstorming vintage aircraft in Tiger Club displays – surviving one breach of those limits which should have proved fatal!
Progressing to being a training captain, Bill was happy to pass on his experience to colleagues. As one of the team that introduced the Boeing 757 to British Airways, post-retirement, he was privileged to be the trainer on the first flights of charter airlines such as Air 2000 and Canada 3000 before his swansong, flying long range Boeing 767s for Alitalia.
Technical background is lightened by the thread of humour which runs throughout and there are also some sage words of comfort for the nervous passenger.

Sheikh Hamdan said the astronauts are the pride of UAE and their efforts will help the country make a historic achievement in the space sector. “This historic voyage to the International Space Station will open the way for a new scientific revolution in the Arab world”
Emirati astronauts Al Mansoori and Al Neyadi bid farewell to the Russian capital, Moscow, after completing their training period at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City. Both astronauts travel to Baikonur for a 15-day preparation ahead of the launch of their mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on 25 September.
Al Mansoori will conduct 16 scientific experiments in cooperation with international space agencies, including the Russian Roscosmos and the European Space Agency (ESA). Six of these experiments will be done aboard the ISS to study Brain DTI, Osteology, motor control, time perception in microgravity, Fluidics (fluid dynamics in space), and DNAm-Age.
The scientific mission includes experiments involving schools in the UAE as part of MBRSC’s Science in Space initiative. The first phase of the initiative witnessed the participation of nearly 16 schools from the UAE, in the presence of Al Mansoori. These experiments will be conducted in a microgravity environment aboard the ISS and the results will then be compared with those done on earth, to contribute to supporting the UAE curriculum with new scientific materials that will be the result of the UAE’s first human space flight.
Al Mansoori’s scientific mission comes within the framework of strategic partnerships with major global space agencies, including Roscosmos, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), NASA, and ESA.
Al Mansoori and Al Neyadi will arrive today, 10 September, in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, in preparation for the 15-day quarantine period, prior to the launch of the space mission to the ISS. During this time, the astronauts will be accompanied by Saeed Karmostaji, the astronauts’ office manager, and Dr. Hanan Al Suwaidi, flight surgeon, who was recently appointed in this position through a partnership between MBRSC and the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences.
During this period, the Russian Federal Medical-Biological Agency (FBMA) is fully responsible for their health, and will be working to protect the astronauts from illnesses and prevent them from spreading to the ISS.
The FBMA is responsible for preventing germs from entering their ground and space facilities, in addition to implementing a comprehensive sterilisation against microbes. The facilities and tools they use are subject to frequent sterilisation, including accommodation, buses and training sites.
Experts at FBMA are constantly taking laboratory samples from various facilities and tools to verify the presence of germs and prevent them from moving to the spacecraft, the ISS and space in general.
Prior to the launch, Al Mansoori will prepare to take his personal belongings, such as family photos and some memories, in addition to the UAE flag and logos, using specific codes, with the MBRSC’s stamp placed on them, in preparation for placement inside the Soyuz MS-15.
Al Mansoori will take the UAE flag made of 100% silk, a photo of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan with a delegation of Apollo astronauts, a copy of the Holy Quran, ‘My Story’ by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, in which the first chapter talks about the story of the day His Highness announced the launch of the UAE Astronaut Programme, and MBRSC’s book The Race to Space. | aerospace |

Let's load a full contest order of flight to work with ... go to "Contest Ledger", "Data", and "Restore Archive" and locate the file "Copperstate02.CLA" to load from the Contest Automation installation directory. If you look at the Excel status bar at the bottom of the screen, you will see each of the parts of the archive file being loaded. When complete, this will give us 51 pilots in flying 4 categories to work with. Now, lets go to the Order of Flight page to look at a couple of scenarios.
A pilot is unable to continue with the competition and needs to be taken out of the order of flight. Locate the name on the Order of Flight page and delete the order numbers for those flights remaining to be flown. The pilot will not show up on any subsequent printed orders of flight. If you have already assembled the clipboards for those flight programs, remove that pilot's Chief Judge Penalty and Form A's, and insert a new copy of the printed Order of Flight. If you've only printed the Form A labels, but not used them yet, just remove the 5 labels (one for each judge) for that pilot from the sheet and discard them. If the pilot won't be able to volunteer as well, open the Volunteer Log and replace them with a new volunteer and reprint the affected Volunteer Assignment Sheets.
A pilot shows up late for registration, but is accepted for good reason. If the order of flights are already done, the use the "Update Pilots" menu item under "Order of Flight". This is described fully in Tutorial 3. Putting the pilot last in the Known program lets you add Chief Judge and Form A's at the end of the already assembled clipboards. If the Known is already flown, the pilot will have to fly the Known and Free in the Free Program, assuming that the category judge's haven't changed. Dealing with this is described in the next section.
A mechanical problem may not allow a competitor to fly for a given program. If later programs remain and the Judge's line hasn't changed, the Technical Committee or Contest Jury may allow them to fly two sequences in a later program. If this occurs, you're faced with some serious Order of Flight gymnastics. OK, no problem, here's what you do:
Delete the pilot's order of flight number in the program they can't fly and re-sort by clicking that flight program button (they will now not be listed in the printed orders of flight for that program)
Double-click the pilot's name in the Order of Flight; a dialog will pop-up asking if the program should add that pilot a second time to the order of flight. Answer "Yes" and they will be added with a "(second flight)" appended to their name.
Go to the next flight where they will fly twice. Move the first flight to the beginning of the order by entering an order number of "0.5". Move the second flight to the end of the order by entering an order number higher than any other in that flight. Re-sort that flight program.
Finally, be sure that there is no flight order number for the "(second flight)" in any later programs.
Note that the next flight program after the Known may be either the Free OR the Unknown, depending on the contest and the weather ... be sure and add the second flight to the right program!
Note that the "Position" scores for this pilot won't properly reflect their order positioning in the contest any longer ... but this shouldn't be an issue, since they should be happy to be flying at all at this point!.
A pilot may wish to fly in a second flight category for an IAC Achievement Award (or "Patch"). To add them to the order of flight a second time:
Right-click the pilot's name in the Contest Ledger and select the "Fly for Patch" menu item; a dialog will pop-up asking what category the patch will be flown for. Select the category from the pull-down menu and press "OK". If you select "<none>", leave the pull-down blank, or press "Clear" then no patch category will be selected. Note that if you pick the category the pilot is registered in, then the program will assume that the pilot is only flying for a patch. Also note that scores from the patch flights will not be included in the computations for awards and will be listed as negative numbers in the results with a "(P)" after the pilot's name.
Go to the "Contest Ledger", "Order of Flight", "Update Pilots" menu; the second entry will be added to the order of flight in the selected category without order of flight numbers and a "(Patch)" added to the name. The program will ask if you wish to complete the orders of flight; select this option only if you want to totally redo the orders with a new random draw. Otherwise respond with "No" and go to the next step.
Go to the category where they will fly for a patch. Enter order numbers for all flight programs in that category. From this point on, this is identical to adding a pilot to the order of flight and is described fully in Tutorial 3.
Note that the registration program will automatically prompt for any patch flights when registrations are first entered into the Contest Ledger with "Get Preregistrations", so the procedure above is only needed if the pilot decides to fly for a patch later.
If not already running, launch the Volunteer Log and load the contest data from the current archive or backup file. If the Chief Judge returned the volunteer assignment form with changes, find the category affected and make the changes, by 1) deleting the previous assignments to those positions and, 2) after sorting the volunteer list by name, double-clicking the new names in the Volunteer List pop-up window. If a volunteer will not be able to work the rest of the contest, right-click their name in the Volunteer List pop-up window. A copy of the Volunteer data entry dialog will pop-up; make a comment to the effect that this person is no longer available in the comment field and press "Save". If the "Working" field in the Volunteer List window shows other categories for a no longer available person, check them as well.
Making these sorts of changes and cycling the clipboards will take up the rest of the contest. Eventually, the flying will cease and the CD and everyone else will be anxious to get the final scores, including all of the special awards. This requires getting data out of the IAC scoring program and that's the topic for the next tutorial! Meanwhile, what have we learned?

TOKYO, April 1 — Japan’s valiant moon lander was put to sleep again after unexpectedly surviving its second ultra-chilly long lunar night, the space agency said today.
The Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) — dubbed the “Moon Sniper” for its landing precision — touched down in January, making Japan only the fifth nation to achieve a soft lunar landing.
But the unmanned lightweight spacecraft, carrying a mini-rover that moves like a turtle, landed at a wonky angle that left its solar panels facing the wrong way.
Defying pessimistic predictions, the probe was revived in late February once the lunar night — which lasts about 14 Earth days — ended.
Despite facing temperatures as low as -130 degrees Celsius, it repeated the feat last week and transmitted new images back to Earth.
On Monday, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) announced the probe has been put back to sleep again on Sunday.
“During this operation, we mainly checked the status of several devices by turning on switches and applying loads,” Jaxa said on social media platform X.
“Although there are some malfunctions in some functions of MBC, it still works, so we are carefully checking its status,” it said, referring to the Multi-band Camera used to examine lunar rocks.
Some types of rocks around the lunar craters are thought to contain material from its mantle, which could give clues on how the Moon was formed. — AFP

http://www.spacepolicyonline.com/news/house-passes-nasa-transition-authorization-act | 2017-04-25T04:41:05 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-17/segments/1492917120101.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20170423031200-00644-ip-10-145-167-34.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.915592 | 907 | CC-MAIN-2017-17 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2017-17__0__29297627 | en | The House passed the NASA Transition Authorization Act of 2017 by voice vote this evening, clearing the measure for the President. The bill sets policy for NASA and recommends funding for FY2017, but does not actually provide any money.
The bill, S. 442, passed the Senate by unanimous consent on February 17. It passed the House today by voice vote. House consideration of the bill was delayed a week. No explanation of the delay was offered today and no changes to the bill were made. The bill now goes to the President for signature. The White House has not publicly indicated whether he will sign it or not, but the fact that it passed Congress so easily with bipartisanship support is encouraging.
Human spaceflight is a major focus of the bill, although it also addresses NASA's space science, space technology and aeronautics programs. It is silent on earth sciences, a topic of partisan discord. Many Republicans argue that NASA should focus on space exploration while other agencies conduct earth science research. Many Democrats insist that only NASA launches earth science research satellites that are essential for understanding the only planet in the solar system that supports human life. During the debate on the House floor today, Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), the top Democrat on the House Science, Space, and Technology (SS&T) Committee, rued the fact that the bill did not address earth science, while Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), chairman of the committee, pressed the argument that NASA should focus on exploration.
The 146-page bill's overall purpose is to codify congressional intent regarding NASA's future during a time of transition from one presidential administration to another. Stability is the watchword. SpacePolicyOnline.com's fact sheet on NASA's FY2017 budget request summarizes the bill. Among its key provisions are the following.
- offers a Sense of Congress that the International Space Station (ISS) should continue until at least 2024 and perhaps until 2028;
- indemnifies launch and reentry service providers from third party claims, with conditions, for launches that are unusually hazardous or nuclear in nature;
- requires NASA to submit to Congress a "human exploration roadmap" to "expand human presence beyond low Earth orbit to the surface of Mars and beyond" in a steppingstone manner, and requires a study on a human mission to Mars to be launched in 2033 (it does not specify if it is to orbit or land);
- directs the NASA Administrator to submit a report on how the Orion spacecraft can be used to fulfill a provision in the 2010 NASA Authorization Act to serve as a backup to commercial crew to take crews to and from the ISS, including on launch vehicles other than the Space Launch System (SLS);
- supports the SLS and Orion programs;
- states that Congress is not convinced that the cost of the Asteroid Redirect Robotic Mission is worth the benefits and asks for an analysis of alternatives to demonstrate technologies and capabilities needed for human exploration of Mars;
- allows NASA to provide health care to former astronauts and government payload specialists for conditions resulting from their spaceflights;
- reaffirms congressional intent that NASA have a balanced and adequately funded science portfolio including small, medium and large space missions, suborbital missions, research and analysis grants, and technology development, with science priorities guided by the Decadal Surveys produced by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine;
- specifically supports the Mars 2020 rover, a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope, and prohibits NASA from cancelling the airborne SOFIA infrared telescope;
- adds a 10th item to the list of objectives in NASA's organic act -- "the search for life's origins, evolution, distribution, and future in the universe";
- requires reports from the NASA Administrator on public-private partnerships to study astrobiology and Near Earth Objects;
- allows NASA to conduct Senior Reviews of its science missions on a triennial rather than biennial basis;
- expresses support for a robust aeronautics programs; and
- establishes as policy that NASA develop technologies to support NASA's core missions.

A contract for the antenna network was awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to Columbia, Maryland-based KBR Wyle Technology Solutions. The network, which will support a satellite officially called SWFO-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1), is set to be completed in the Fairmont-based technology park, where it will provide telemetry, command and ranging services for NOAA.
The antenna network will provide NOAA with the ability to “communicate” with the SWFO-L1, which will hitch a ride to space through NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe mission, set to launch in February 2025. The satellite is to provide NOAA with “continuous measurements of the space environment, including observations of the sun’s outer atmosphere, and contributing to accurate forecasts of space weather disturbances.”

The single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft went down about 4 miles south of Brainerd, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said. Investigators were on the way to the scene to determine the cause.
The Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office identified the plane's occupants as Vincent and Jody Facchiano, both 60 and from Belvidere, Ill. Emergency audio dispatch indicated authorities were picking up the couple's luggage and bringing it to them at a hospital. The Facchianos were being treated for minor injuries.
The plane fell about 1.4 miles short of the runway and landed in the woods, the Sheriff's Office said. Pilot Vincent Facchiano told investigators that the plane experienced engine failure upon approach.
Monday's crash was the third in as many days in Minnesota.
Over the weekend, two small planes crashed 24 hours apart in Douglas County in western Minnesota, killing one of the pilots, authorities said Sunday.
About 7:30 p.m. Saturday, several witnesses notified 911 that a plane crashed at Townhall Road and 10th Avenue SW. in LaGrande Township, the county Sheriff's Office said. Emergency personnel arrived and found that the pilot, Kenneth J. Ryan, 64, of Alexandria, had already died, the Sheriff's Office said.
"The plane appears to have struck an [electrical] power pole before landing in the west ditch off of Townhall Road," it said in a statement.
The first crash happened about 7 p.m. Friday when the plane lost power and made an emergency landing into Lake Winona just west of Alexandria, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Pilot Maxwell D. Guderian, 18, of Minnetonka, was standing atop the single-engine plane when emergency personnel arrived.
Guderian was conducting touch-and-go maneuvers at the Alexandria Airport at the time, the Sheriff's Office said.
Federal authorities are looking into both incidents. | aerospace |

These uses can range from recreational and fun to informational and very helpful. Here are seven examples of drone uses:
Hollywood is beginning to use drones more often. Movies have been known to use drones to get the perfect shot on set. Along with this, a recent Maserati commercial was filmed by drones. This is a very good way to get aerial footage for an amazing shot of your subject.
Drones have also been used more and more in the field of environmental sciences. They have become a huge help when performing tasks such as hurricane tracking, multispectral imaging, tracking oceanic debris, atmospheric research, and many more. Drones are allowing researchers to get information and photos that they have never been able to capture before.
The world of sports has also accepted drones. It will not be long before drones are implemented more into various sporting events. So far, action sports like wakeboarding, surfing, and rock climbing have explored the possibilities of filming with a drone. The results are breathtaking.
Another good use for drones is being found in the world of news . Different big name news companies are beginning to use drones to capture and report news. These companies include the New York Times and the Washington Post. Even new journalism sites have emerged such as The Drone Journalism Lab and DroneJournalism.org.
Drones are also making the lives of farmers much easier. Using the aerial view, farmers can see if their irrigation systems are working properly, how their crops are growing, and if their crops are sick with the use of infrared technology. The ability to obtain this information is crucial and can potentially save them a lot of money by allowing them to make better decisions.
Drones have become a very useful tool for firefighters, specifically wildfire firefighters. Not only can the drones spot and track the fires, but they also are being used to fight the fires and ultimately help to keep people out of harm’s way.
Finally, drones have made it much easier for people to capture breathtaking photos and videos. The aerial flight of a drone results in an awesome and new angle for the professional or recreational photographer. Whether you are following a group of dolphins swimming through the ocean or just taking an aerial selfie, the drone has provided an awesome way to take photos.
These are just some of the amazing uses that a drone has to offer. The possibilities are endless! | aerospace |

General Electric (GE)/Cessna teams have developed a “magic skin” with self healing properties that in event of exterior impact damage, lightning strikes, extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and would protect and even self heal the effected material surface whilst provided additional insulation from cabin exterior noise.
The “magic skin” is a development of an original GE/Cessna N+3 study completed a just a little over a year ago. The protective outer skin is called STAR-C2: “Smoothing, Thermal, Absorbing, Reflective, Conductive, Cosmetic”.
The study was aimed at development of a thin outer skin made form a conductive film and an energy absorbing foam that would coat the whole of each aircraft.
The final report from the GE/Cessna team calculated that development of such a skin could cut the weight of existing environmental countermeasures by half.
The prospect of the future commercial airliner and private jet remain truly fascinating… | aerospace |

This substantial order includes 150 units of Airbus’ top-selling A321neo and 70 A350 aircraft, diversifying the fleet with both the A350-900 and A350-1000 models, along with 5 of the highly efficient A350F freighters.
This massive order comes on the heels of the airline’s previous orders for 14 A350-900s earlier in 2023. With this latest commitment, Turkish Airlines’ total order book for Airbus aircraft escalates to an impressive 504, out of which 212 have already been delivered.
The A321neo: Advancing Fleet Efficiency and Passenger Comfort
The Airbus A321neo, a prominent member of the A320neo Family, is recognized for its exceptional range and performance. Equipped with the latest generation engines and Sharklets, the A321neo is known for reducing noise by 50% and achieving over 20% savings in fuel and CO₂ emissions compared to its predecessors. Its wide cabin makes it a leading choice for airlines focusing on passenger comfort in single-aisle aircraft.
On the new order, Turkish Airlines Chairman of the Board and the Executive Committee, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Bolat stated: “This landmark order is more than an expansion; it’s a testament to our dedication to innovation, operational excellence, and a sustainable future. The addition of these advanced Airbus aircraft to our fleet will not only enhance our operational capabilities but also significantly contribute to our environmental goals. This investment is a crucial milestone in the further evolution of Türkiye’s aviation industry. By modernising our fleet with more efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft, we are reinforcing our leading position in global aviation and contributing to the nation’s prominence as an aviation hub.”
“This order for the latest generation aircraft is a demonstration of the bold vision by Turkish Airlines. The A350-900, A350-1000, A350F and A321 will all be flagship aircraft in their respective category and efficiency drivers to shape the airline’s future and sustainable expansion, with more range, less fuel, noise and emissions and best cabin in class,” says Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International. “The opening into the A350-1000 and the A350F highlights the cross-model value of the A350 family and reinforces our long-lasting partnership with Turkish Airlines and Türkiye’s aviation sector. We are proud to accompany Türkiye’s connection to the world with our state-of-the-art aircraft.”
Global Demand for A321neo and A350F Aircraft
As of now, the A321neo has garnered over 5,600 orders from more than 100 global customers. The A350F, a newer model launched at the Dubai Airshow two years ago, has also seen a positive market response, with Turkish Airlines’ latest order bringing its total to 50 from nine different customers.
Turkish Airlines Emerges as a Dominant Force in the Global Aviation Market
Observing Turkish Airlines’ aggressive expansion and modernization strategy, it’s evident that the airline is rapidly transforming into a major force in the aviation sector. With its latest orders, Turkish Airlines not only demonstrates its commitment to efficiency and passenger comfort but also solidifies its position as an influential player on the global stage. The airline’s consistent growth trajectory and substantial investments in state-of-the-art aircraft suggest that it is poised to continue its ascent in the highly competitive airline industry, with no signs of slowing down. | aerospace |

We came in peace for all mankind”
~Engraving on Lunar plaque, affixed to Apollo 11 Lunar Module
Fifty years ago, Apollo 11, the culmination of a massive advancement in technology and engineering, landed American astronauts Neil Alden Armstrong and Edwin Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin Jr. on the surface of the Moon. Traveling with command module Pilot Michael Collins from their starting point at the Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A on Merritt Island, Florida, to Mare Tranquillitatis on the Moon and back again, their mission was an eight-day, 480,000-mile round-trip that fulfilled a challenge put forth a mere eight years earlier by then-President John F. Kennedy “of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth.”
The success of Apollo 11 effectively brought the Space Race, a fierce rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union that had driven their respective space programs since the 1957 launch of the world’s first satellite, Sputnik 1, to a close. This achievement also established 20th century humanity as an interplanetary culture, having finally set a footprint in the soil of another world, a dream so old that we could only speculate as to its antiquity.
But the Apollo program, consisting of eight flights to the Moon involving six landings, has not been without controversy: while the Apollo program was under development, it was questioned as to whether or not it could be done; additionally, there were others at the time who questioned whether or not it even should be done. And of course, the question as to whether or not it had been done in the first place has since been posed.
But one enduring mystery concerns what happened during Armstrong and Aldren’s two-and-a-quarter hour walk on the Moon’s surface: during the EVA (extra-vehicular activity), Armstrong switched his radio to a private channel set aside for medical purposes—a channel not broadcast to the public for privacy purpose—for two minutes.
In the mid seventies stories began to circulate that the two-minute radio blackout was due to the appearance of two UFOs that appeared near the Lunar Module. Supposedly photographed by Aldrin during the encounter, the unidentified lights left moments later, allowing the astronauts to resume their work.
The first mention of this incident was what unidentified ham radio enthusiasts, listening in on the transmissions from Tranquility Base on their home radio sets, allegedly heard during the two-minute blackout, published by non-fiction and sci-fi author Otto Binder:
Mission Control: What’s there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11.
Apollo11: These babies are huge, sir… enormous… oh, God, you wouldn’t believe it! I’m telling you there are other spacecraft out there… lined up on the far side of the crater edge… they’re on the Moon watching us…
In 1975, retired NASA communications engineer Maurice Chatelain published Our Cosmic Ancestors, in which he wrote:
“[O]nly moments before Armstrong stepped down the ladder to set foot on the Moon, two UFOs hovered overhead. Edwin Aldrin took several pictures of them. Some of these photographs have been published in the June 1975 issue of Modern People magazine.”
Later, in 1979, Chatelain said that “The encounter was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody has talked about it until now.” He went on to claim that “…all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin – flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.”
The incident was reportedly even backed up by Soviet scientists. In his 1988 book Above Top Secret, Timothy Good writes that Dr. Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Moscow University, said “Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them afte3r having landed near the moon module. But his message was never head by the public – because NASA censored it.”
Good also wrote that an anonymous professor he met at a NASA symposium said that Armstrong had confided in him that the encounter was meant to warn NASA against establishing a base on the Moon. According to the professor’s account, Armstrong explained that he couldn’t provide any details, “except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology – Boy, where they big! … and menacing… No, there is no question of a space station.” As for the remaining planned Apollo missions, Armstrong said that NASA was already committed to carrying them out, with crews returning to the Moon six more times, ending with Apollo 17 in 1972.
Armstrong passed away in 2012, taking whatever had transpired during his two-minute private transmission with him—when later asked about it, he declined to divulge what was discussed during the blackout. Aldren maintains that his crew saw nothing out of the ordinary during their flight (at least in terms of extraterrestrial spacecraft) and that reports that a UFO had paced Columbia on its way to the Moon were based on his account, taken out of context, regarding the sighting of discarded components of the mission’s S-IVB stage-three rocket, that launched the Command and Lunar Modules from Earth orbit toward the Moon. Regardless, the question of whether or not the crew of the Eagle witnessed a formation of UFOs intruding on their mission remains a mystery to this day.

Are you looking to organise private jets or scheduled flights for senior management? When travelling for business frequently there are many benefits of opting to fly privately.
When you fly privately, you have the luxury of avoiding the long waits at airports, flight delays and even flight cancellations. When time is money, it is important to take these things into consideration.
When booking scheduled flights you often do not have the flexibility to book last minute or travel to harder to reach destinations. Private Jet offers you direct access to any destination when you need to be there with little notice.
If you have several managers travelling together, flying privately also allows passengers the ability to host in-flight meetings and work comfortably all the way to your end destination.
If you are looking for a reliable flight partner to help with your business travel requirements, speak to one of your CWT contacts or one of our dedicated account managers. | aerospace |

|British Tornado aircrafts conducted first reconnaissance flights in Iraq|
British Tornado GR4 aircrafts, currently deployed in Cyprus, have been flying intelligence gathering missions over Iraq for a number of weeks. Today, following the British Parliamentary approval given Friday, September 26, in company with other aircraft from the international coalition, two Tornados conducted armed reconnaissance operations over areas of Iraq where the terrorists threaten the civilian population.
RAF pilot entering Tornado GR4 combat aircraft
Although on this occasion no targets were identified as requiring immediate air attack by our aircraft, the intelligence gathered by the Tornados’ highly sophisticated surveillance equipment will be invaluable to the Iraqi authorities and their coalition partners in developing the best possible understanding of ISIL’s disposition and help acquire potential targets for future operations, either by aircraft or Iraqi ground forces.
Furthermore, according to the British MOD, "the very presence of coalition airpower over Iraq has a significant impact on ISIL’s efforts to attack the Iraqi people. With no effective defence against air strikes, and knowing the precision with which coalition aircraft can hit them, the terrorists are forced to be much more cautious, keeping their forces dispersed and movement inhibited. They also know that should they concentrate to deliver an attack against Iraqi or Kurdish troops, aircraft are likely to arrive overhead very soon afterwards."
The Tornados were supported by an RAF Voyager refuelling tanker. Additionally, RAF transport aircraft have in the past 24 hours delivered further supplies to the Kurdish authorities to aid their efforts in the fight against ISIL. | aerospace |

Beresheet reached the moon on Thursday and had a bold attempt to land. Unfortunately, its intended soft landing was unsuccessful. It was the first privately funded lunar landing. Besides, it was a semisweet end for the Israeli lander. About 20 minutes before the slated time of landing, engine firings reduced speed Beresheet’s fall. The spacecraft lost contact with ground staff during its final drop. Engineers observed in silence as they saw the craft falling live on several screens. It flew towards a free-fall and failed to land softly. After some time, the team declared the failure of the mission. The probe lifted-off on Feb. 21, from Cape Carnival Air Force Station loaded on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
Recently, in last week the spacecraft entered into the lunar orbit, and also captured its first images of the dark side of the moon. The team said the spacecraft has various technical problems while going through the final descent to the Moon. Before its ultimate end, the Israeli probe snapped a final pic of the lunar land which the spacecraft sent back to Earth. Landing softly on the space rock is absolutely a complex task. All in all, the lander failed to achieve its core mission of a soft moon landing. Still, it has marked with many important initials. As it was the first private spacecraft to enter in the lunar orbit. Even more, due to the mission, Israel has become the seventh nation to place its probe in the moon’s orbit.
Opher Doron of Israel Aerospace Industries said they certainly crashed on the lunar land. Despite unsuccessful landing, Doron calls it a stunning success, for reaching the moon and attempting to land successfully. He added the washing-machine-sized spacecraft was the smallest and cheapest space vehicle ever to get to the moon. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was also present during the live stream of spacecraft’s landing. He said they would do it once again. Netanyahu stated they reached the moon, but aim to land more easily. The Israeli Prime Minister promises the safe one for the next time.

This Thursday, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Aviation will hold a hearing on the FAA Reauthorization Act’s implementation and overdue safety rules will be on the agenda. Two TTD affiliates, the Air Line Pilots Association and the Association of Flight Attendants, will be testifying.
We’ll be there live-tweeting the event (follow us at @TTDAFLCIO) and wanted to share this preview of some of the issues that will be discussed:
Ten hours of rest for flight attendants
Multiple studies have shown the best way to combat fatigue among flight attendants is to change the rules that govern rest periods. That’s exactly what lawmakers did in the 2018 FAA Reauthorization Act.
Congress gave DOT 30 days to modify current rest rules and grant flight attendants a minimum of 10 hours of rest between 14-hour duty periods. Lawmakers also required air carriers to submit to the FAA fatigue risk management plans within 90 days of the legislation passing. Yet, nearly a year after the bill’s passage, our nation’s flight attendants are still waiting for the federal rest protections they need and deserve.
Mitigating customer service assaults
A recent GAO report highlighted what airline customer service agents (CSAs) already know: they are being assaulted by the passengers they serve at alarming rates. The report found that nearly all customer service agents interviewed had been verbally assaulted. More than thirty percent had experienced either physical assault or attempted physical assault while on the job.
Congress directly addressed this issue by mandating air carriers to develop and submit to DOT for approval plans for mitigating violent and abusive incidents against CSAs, and to update training procedures accordingly. Lawmakers gave air carriers 90 days to meet these requirements, but once again DOT has failed to enforce this provision, placing CSAs at continued risk just for showing up and doing their jobs.
Secondary barriers for cockpits
The FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 mandated a post-9/11 security feature, secondary cockpit barriers, on all newly manufactured aircraft. These lightweight, retractable barriers are designed to provide an extra layer of protection by separating the flight deck door from the passenger cabin when pilots need to enter and exit the cockpit during a flight.
Congress was explicit in its language and deliberately chose to apply this mandate to all new passenger aircraft coming off the production line. Yet, efforts are underway to water down this mandate by claiming the barriers should only apply to new aircraft models – exempting newly manufactured planes of existing types and models. Such a move would significantly delay this safety requirement, undermine the purpose of this provision, and jeopardize a key aviation security protocol.
Ending the double standard in aviation maintenance outsourcing
The FAA is also long overdue in implementing policies that would ensure one standard for all aircraft repair work, regardless of where that work is performed. Despite clear directives from Congress in 2012 and again in 2016, the FAA still has not implemented drug and alcohol testing programs for foreign repair station workers. The agency has also failed to ensure that foreign repair station employees who perform safety-sensitive work undergo pre-employment background investigations, which Congress dictated in 2016.
The FAA’s refusal to implement these basic measures has created a double standard in the aviation maintenance industry that potentially undermines safety and security and incentivizes airlines to outsource this work to foreign facilities. Read our letter to Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao urging implementation of these mandates. | aerospace |

The stealthy F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is supposed to one day make up 90 percent or more of America’s combat aviation power. But the program has been hit with all kinds of expensive technical glitches and delays. So the Navy has long hedged against the giant JSF bet by buying more of its beloved F/A-18 Super Hornet; that way, the Navy can keep flying modern fighters, even if the JSFs slip. With this “market survey,” the Navy appears to be making a second hedge: a Son of the Super Hornet – one that would come online after the F/A-18s are retired in the 2030s – just in case the JSF flames out entirely.
the new plane will share deck space and fly in a carrier air wing alongside the JSF and the Navy’s future carrier-based drone, currently known as the X-47B.

With the growth of in-flight Wifi on aircraft, the FAA has a posted a new draft policy statement that gives further guidance and acceptable practices on how to meet compliance with a specific federal regulations. the new policy comes at a time when even light commuter and utility aircraft are being equipped with inflight connectivity.
The FAA notes that safety issues related to the installation and use of the wireless RF system within the airplane include: potential interference with avionics systems; operation of personal electronic devices and a wireless RF system which is not fully built to airborne equipment standards; and vulnerability of airplane systems to intentional or spurious emission of RF energy.
Guidance released in 2010 by the FAA described an acceptable means for designing and demonstrating aircraft tolerance to potential electro magnetic interference from personal electronic devices. FAA advisory circular AC-20-164 identified RTCA document DO-307, which was borne out of a federal advisory committee.
The FAA’s new policy paper discusses compliance methods that should be applied to type certificate, amended type certificate, supplemental type certificate, and amended supplemental type certification programmes for Part 23 aircraft.

US Air force has announced that it has cancelled the efforts to develop the next generation of battlefield drones.
With the continued success of the Predator, RQ-170 and the other UAV and drone systems, the air force has cancelled the MQ-X drone efforts. Many believed the Predator C was the expected winning contender for of this effort.
Another noted issue was that the air force could not keep up the tempo of training enough operators to fly the 48 Reapers delivered each year so it has lower the number of Reapers delivered to 28 per year.

- Source: eBay
US Navy aviators of WW2 logged every flight hour in an aviator's flight log book. In it was logged the type of aircraft, the duration of the flight, and the takeoff and landing information involved. Every piece of information was verified by a superior officer's signature. This flight log book covers the flying career of a ten year veteran, named J.F. Conway. Conway commanded Navy transport, training and scout airships on the Atlantic coast, from 1934-44. The type of aircraft listed in the flight log is Navy Code "ZN", for Airships, flying from Elizabeth, North Carolina. The squadron is ZP Squadron 14, which is Airship Patrol Squadron 14 flying from that naval air station.One of the squadron's airships is seen in photos of the capture of the German submarine U-505 on June 4 , 1944. Navy records of that operation show "Navy blimp on station as air cover". This flight log book records the long hours of flight time logged, the type of mission ( training, transport, patrol ) and the different pilots' names.This is a great relic of a bygone era in Naval Aviation; that of the combat airship. Bid with confidence and please view or other great military, aviation, and sporting classics. | aerospace |

The number of manpower required to maintain documentation and to train the crew to operate and arrange paperwork in the aircraft is not simple and laborious task, including cockpit management, missing /dislocated charts, its a time consuming.
Every increase of unit of weight will increase 5% of your fuel burn, if your aircraft documentation on board weight 50kg, it will burn 5% extra = 2.5kg or .8USG per hour or at this time equivalent to USD3/hr. If you operate 300hrs / mo and you have 100 fleet, this will save USD1 Million a year.

How to get EFB approved ?
Any PED (Portable Electronic Device) requires EMI / EMC test, expecially T-EFB that have transmitting capabilities. Depending Class and Type of application, you will need the following documentations
– EFB Letter of application and supporting documentations
– AFM supplement (For STC Class 2 or 3)- Decompression test report
– Lithium Battery fire and consumption documentations
– EFB Administration and operational documentations
Once these steps completed, you will obtain approval (sample of: FAA EFB approval)

SpaceX just had another out of this world record! Its engineers were able to successfully test-fire a used SpaceX booster, an orbit class rocket, last week in McGregor, Texas.
According to an article written by Physics, SpaceX engineers were researching for a reuse mission of SpaceX's Falcon 9's first stage booster. The said booster was initially launched into space in April 2016 and is planned to have a relaunch as early as next month. Space enthusiasts are looking forward to this endeavor of SpaceX as this will be the first ever reuse mission that will ever happen.
In this interest to have a reuse mission, SpaceX engineers studied the anatomy of the CRS-8 Falcon 9 that they've recovered 8 minutes after the said rocket had a propulsive soft landing. The said mission was actually for a signed project between SpaceX and Luxembourg-based telecommunications company SES.
In earlier news, the Falcon 9 reuse mission was supposed to be done before 2016 ended. However, due to an accident in September last year, the said Falcon 9 exploded and caused major damages to the facilities at the Space Launch Complex-40 located at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
After the test fire, SpaceX is planning to have the reuse mission in the historical pad 39A. The mission of SpaceX's Falcon 9 was supposed to be done in pad 40, however, it is still under reconstruction. A lot of historical events happened in the pad 39A which includes the launches of several NASA missions such as the Apollo.
Earlier this year, SpaceX already kicked off with a launch of another Falcon 9 into space to set up 10 satellites, according to CNN. The said project was in partnership with the data company Iridium.
SpaceX is definitely having a jam-packed 2017 with its Falcon 9 projects. There have been reports from SpaceX about a Falcon Heavy project this year and just stay tuned here in Science Times for more updates.

NASA scientists are reporting success. They have been test-firing the largest and most powerful rocket motor ever designed for space flight.
The Development Motor-2 is the most powerful solid rocket motor ever built.
It was designed for the Constellation space program.
The rocket proved itself with a 2-minute test of jaw-dropping power as a crowd of observers looked on.
According to NASA scientists, the test held on Tuesday in the Utah desert was a success.
Earlier results showed positive data from over 760 instruments used in the test.
The five-segment motor was cooled to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure its durability in cold weather.
The DM-2 is designed to propel an Ares rocket into space. It’s expected to generate up to 3.6 million pounds of thrust at launch.
The DM-2 will undergo further testing, even though US President Barack Obama has stated a preference for cancelling the Constellation program’s Ares rocket, in favour of commercial space travel. | aerospace |

Schriever Space Force Base (1985-Active) - A United States Space Force Base first established in 1985 as Falcon Air Force Station near Colorado Springs, El Paso County, Colorado. Renamed Falcon Air Force Base in 1998. In 1998 the Air Force renamed Falcon AFB in honor of General Bernard A. Schriever, known as the Father of the Air Force Space and Missile Programs, the first instance of an Air Force installation named in honor of a living person. In 2021, USSF renamed Schriever Air Force Base as Schriever Space Force Base.
(Text adapted from USSF Fact Sheet)
In September 1979 officials approved plans for the development of an installation to provide a backup control node for support of existing and planned satellite constellations, and to house an operations support center for NASA’s space shuttle. Plans called for a merger of Air Force space operations at a Consolidated Space Operations Center (CSOC) and a Shuttle Operations Center (SOPC).
On 17 May 1983, contractors broke ground on what would become Falcon Air Force Station. For two years, contractors worked to complete sufficient facilities to open the base, including headquarters, operations buildings, support facilities, and infrastructure. On 8 Jul 1985 the 2d Space Wing was activated in a ceremony at Falcon AFS, although the installation was not complete there was enough to allow the new wing to occupy the facilities. A ribbon cutting ceremony on 26 Sep 1985 symbolized the activation of Falcon Air Force Station.
Construction costs totaled $91,450,000, less than two-thirds of the amount appropriated. Over the next decades, Falcon continued growing to meet mission requirements, necessitating increases in land area for operations, support, and administrative facilities, and a buffer zone for security. This growth caused the Air Force Space Command to rename the installation Falcon Air Force Base on 13 Jun 1988. In September 1990, the Joint National Test Facility (later the Joint National Integration Center) opened at Falcon, and a few years later, Air Force Space Command activated the Space Warfare Center (later the Space Innovation & Development Center).
In 1998, construction began on new facilities to house missions and support operations transferred from Onizuka Air Force Station. By 2005 Schriever AFB hosted nearly 70 major and minor facilities and employed over 6,200 people. The base’s continuing growth and importance prompted wing and command officials to begin preliminary planning to bring several hundred housing units and associated community support activities to the base. Base housing opened in the fall of 2010 with 242 units for officer and enlisted personnel.
In 2019, the United States Space Force (USSF) was activated. In July 2020, the 50th Space Wing was inactivated after nearly three decades at Schriever and overall management of the installation became a part of the newly activated Peterson-Schriever Garrison. The operations units previously assigned to the wing became independent Space Delta under Space Operations Command. On 28 July 2021, USSF renamed Schriever Air Force Base as a Space Force Base.

The Lucy mission has passed all of its pre-launch tests and is expected to leave the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station around 5:30 a.m.ET on October 16.
The Trojan asteroids, which borrow their name from Greek mythology, orbit the sun in two swarms – one ahead of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, and the other behind.
Lucy is the first spacecraft designed to visit and observe these asteroids, remnants of the early days of our solar system. The mission will help researchers travel back in time to find out how the solar system was formed 4.5 billion years ago.
Lucy’s 12-year mission could also help scientists understand how our planets ended up in their current locations.
There are around 7,000 Trojan asteroids, and the largest is 250 kilometers in diameter. Asteroids represent the remaining material that still lingers after the formation of the giant planets in our solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Even though they share an orbit with Jupiter, asteroids are still very far from the planet itself, almost as far as Jupiter is from the sun, according to NASA.
âWith Lucy, we’re going to hit eight never-before-seen asteroids in 12 years with a single spacecraft,â Tom Statler, Project Lucy scientist at NASA Headquarters, said in a statement. “This is a fantastic opportunity for discovery as we probe the distant past of our solar system.”
The spacecraft is expected to fly over an asteroid in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and then it will explore seven of the Trojans. During her mission, Lucy will eventually return to Earth’s orbit three times for gravitational aids that can get her on the right track. This will make Lucy the first spacecraft to travel to Jupiter and return to Earth.
âLaunching a spaceship is almost like sending a kid to college – you’ve done what you can to get them ready for that next big step on their own,â said Hal Levison, the researcher. Mission principal Lucy, based at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colo., in a statement.
âWe view these objects as the fossils of the planet’s formation,â Levison said.
The fossil and the mission are both nods to the Beatles tune, âLucy in the Sky with Diamonds,â which is why the Lucy mission logo includes a diamond.
The Lucy spacecraft is over 14 meters end-to-end, largely because of its giant solar panels – each the width of a school bus – designed to maintain power to the spacecraft’s instruments. spatial. But Lucy also has fuel to help her perform skillful maneuvers on the path of the asteroids.
Over 12 years, Lucy will travel nearly 4 billion miles (6,437,376,000 kilometers) at approximately 400,000 miles per hour (17,881.6 meters per second).
Lucy will specifically visit these asteroids, all named for heroes you might recognize in Homer’s “The Illiad”: Eurybates, Queta, Polymele, Leucus, Orus, Patroclus, and Menoetius.
Although not one of the Trojans, Eurybates was chosen because it is the largest remnant of an ancient massive collision, meaning it could reveal a glimpse of what is there. inside an asteroid. Observations made using the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed that the small asteroid named Queta is a Eurybates satellite.
Each of the asteroids that Lucy will hover over differs in size and color.
âSurprisingly, many of these mysterious worlds have been changed very little in the 4.6 billion years since their formation,â said Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s planetary science division at headquarters. from NASA.“The relatively pristine state makes comets, asteroids and some meteorites wonderful storytellers who have preserved clues they can share with us about conditions in the early solar system. “
Lucy will use three scientific instruments to study asteroids, including color and black-and-white cameras, a thermometer, and an infrared imaging spectrometer to determine the composition of asteroid surface materials. The spacecraft will communicate with Earth using its antenna, which can also be used to help determine the masses of asteroids.
Once the Lucy mission is completed, the spacecraft will remain in a stable orbit that traces its path of exploration between Earth and Jupiter, and it will have no chance of colliding with either for more. 100,000 years old. Eventually, if the orbit becomes unstable, it will likely either head towards a doomed mission to the sun or be kicked out of our solar system. | aerospace |

Since Space communication requires to send and receive messages across great distances, such as from the Earth ground to satellites in Earth orbit or a spacecraft into deep space, it involves the employment of cutting-edge technologies. A space communication system requires the use of at least one ground station on Earth (the ground segment) and at least one spacecraft (the space segment). Their tasks are receiving orders from Earth (uplink), sending data to Earth (downlink), and sending or receiving information from another satellite (crosslink).
Since the Earth atmosphere is not transparent at all the wavelengths but only in correspondence to visible and radio ones, and since this application requires dependable transmission, space communication systems are specifically designed for particular bands of electromagnetic spectrum and are divided in two different systems: free space optical (FSO) also known as laser communication (lasercom) and radio frequency (“RF”). Even if recent developments in FSO have made it a compelling alternative to RF systems, radio frequency is the most common technology used in space communication. Radio space communication provides a lower data rates in respect to laser communication but the shorter wavelengths of FSO also result in narrower beamwidths which require pointing the laser communication system more accurately. More laser systems are also susceptible to attenuation due to moisture and clouds. For both the systems, the involved great distances make signals weak (causing the deterioration of data) and create latency issues (considering the light speed of around 300.000 km/sec, at the closest approach to Mars a time delay of around 4 minutes is given – you would need to wait this long for mission control to receive your message if you were communicating from or to Mars).
Satellite communication, remote sensing, space exploration, disaster management, navigation and weather forecasting are just a few of the many applications that depend on space communication. We may use it to send commands to and receive data from a satellite, or to interact with astronauts on the International Space Station and other human missions.

- One of the most important steps in designing any space mission is precisely determining the trajectory that the spacecraft will follow en route to its final destination.
It is obvious to say that the success and even the feasibility of any mission depends primarily on a good design of its trajectory.
- Instead, they present a way of computing the trajectory (path) for a robot based on certain simplified assumptions.
If the wheels are allowed to accelerate, the curve which describes the robot's trajectory can become much more complicated.
Now we will consider the opposite problem: how do we find the trajectory of the robot if we are told what speeds the wheels will be turning?
Let's derive functions for the robot's trajectory.
If both wheels are moving at the same velocity, the robot travels in a straight line and the equation for its trajectory is trivial.
The term (b/2)(VR+VL)/(VR-VL) is actually the turn radius for circular trajectory of the robot’s center.
- Both valves in each disconnect pair are opened to permit propellant flow between the orbiter and the external tank.
The closure of both valves in each disconnect pair prevents propellant discharge from the external tank or orbiter at external tank separation.
Inadvertent closure of either valve in a 17-inch disconnect during main engine thrusting would stop propellant flow from the external tank to all three main engines.
All aspects of the existing SRM were assessed, and design changes were required in the field joint, case-to-nozzle joint, nozzle, factory joint, propellant grain shape, ignition system and ground support equipment.
No changes were made in the propellant, liner or castable inhibitor formulations.
Flight-configuration aft and center segments were fabricated, loaded with live propellant, and used for assembly test article stacking demonstration tests at Kennedy Space Center.
In a long-term stack test, a full-scale casting segment, with live propellant, has been mated vertically with a J-seal insulation segment and is undergoing temperature cycling.
- An important consideration in designing a rocket is whether to use liquid or solid propellant.
- A Russian booster rocket will launch the first Algerian satellite into orbit.
It costs $6.5 million to refurbish one recovered booster rocket and refuel it for a subsequent flight, NASA said.
The final test of the planned intercept of a long-range ballistic missile target over a Pacific Ocean test range involving the use of the interceptor's surrogate booster rocket could not be completed when the interceptor and the booster failed to separate, the Defense Department announced December 11.
- "The United States aerospace industry plays a major role in our national defense, economic growth, scientific advancement, and quality of life. The Commission on the Future of the United States Aerospace Industry studies the issues associated with the future of the industry in the global economy and assesses the future importance of the U.S. aerospace industry for U.S. economic and national security. The Commission's findings and recommendations to the President and the Congress will greatly assist in the development of policies to support a robust U.S. aerospace industry for the twenty-first century. The country owes a debt of gratitude to Chairman Bob Walker and the Members of the Commission for their service to the country in this important endeavor."
- Man-made vehicles have entered interplanetary regions outside the Earth's atmosphere. Since 1961 people have been traveling alone or in crews in vehicles through outer space. A whole new terminology, or system of names, therefore, has been devised to describe the technology and science of all space beyond the Earth's surface. Aerospace is such a word.
The aerospace industry has expanded rapidly in the last two decades.
Enterprise mission is to maintain US preeminence in aerospace research and technology.
As an aerospace engineer, you will develop new technologies in control, navigation, and propulsion that will lead to future milestones in the history of flight.
What does an aerospace engineer do?
There are many who work in the aerospace industry.
Is this a homework assignment?

It appears the aircraft is painted for government use and not in the usual RCAF colours. Interest is piqued what with the soldiers flying into an area of operations in an aircraft with non-tactical colours.
Polaris CC-15001 (note 1) received that colour scheme a few years ago when it went in for scheduled heavy maintenance (the RCAF’s blue is a different pantone from that of the then-Government, something that has had to be repeatedly stressed). Jim Belliveau, graphic designer for 410 Tactical Fighter (Operational Training) Squadron, 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, was the creator of the inspired design. (For more about Jim Belliveau, see “High-flying design.”)
Whilst 01 was the aircraft intended to be used for high-profile flights (Governor-General, Head of Government, trade missions), it was made clear that 01 was still a RCAF transport. And its first mission in fact was to fly Forces soldiers off on a deployment, just as pictured here.
As an aside, the term ‘livery’ is used in connection with civilian aircraft and airlines, and largely by UK-based aviation magazines. In North America and for RCAF aircraft, the term ‘colours’ is more widely used.
Note 1: An aircraft of the RCAF is type designated with two letters indicting primary role (CC = Canadian transport [‘cargo’]), three numerals for the specific type of aircraft (150 = the Airbus A310 in RCAF service), and two or three numerals for the particular aircraft.

Tumbling asteroids present unique challenges to landing craft which can be alleviated through use of a momentum wheel. As a precursor to the main science mission, a simple spacecraft containing a momentum wheel would be secured to the asteroid. Over time, the angular momentum of the asteroid would transfer from the minor inertial axis to the major axis. This would greatly decrease the risk of the following science mission and would also provide for simplified thrusting along the principal axis if orbit modification or deflection of the asteroid was required. | aerospace |

Ham the Astrochimp, the famous monkey
Ham was born in Cameroon in 1957. In 1959, he arrived at a farm in the United States, where he was sent to the American Mioman Air Force Base.
About 40 chicks were trained at the Air Force training camp, including Ham. From that 40 to 18; From there Ham eventually became the only player selected.
In July 1959, the two-year-old was trained in neuroscience by neuro-scientist (neuroscience, which uses memory as a neuroscience).
The main thing is training them to respond to light and sound at the right time. The monkey was able to control the loops with light.
After several training sessions, on January 31, 1961, he was sent to Project Mercury, one of the earliest human space exploration projects.
His journey lasted 16 minutes and 39 seconds, and arrived at Cape Canaveral, about 420 miles away. The fastest speed reached 5,000 mph. It reaches about 155 miles above the earth.
Part of the spacecraft was damaged during the trip, but it was not harmed by the protective suit.
In return, his capsule crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. Fortunately, the monkey did not die because he was able to go to the helicopter and save it in time. I received only a scar from the nose.
After returning from space, Ham Ham lived in the National Park in Washington, DC for 17 years and died in 1983. He was buried in the Space Museum in New Mexico, USA, after honoring him. | aerospace |

The ground literally trembled beneath its awesome power. Each of the two solid rocket boosters had a liftoff thrust of around 13 meganewtons (MN). That's around 3 million pounds-force (lbf). Each.
Yeah. It was awesome. Roar-out-loud awesome.
Over the past 30 years, we’ve witnessed the first launch of Columbia, the Challenger disaster, Discovery’s deployment of the Hubble Space Telescope, Atlantis docking with Russia’s Mir Space Station, and Endeavour’s first shuttle ISS assembly flight. What a long, strange trip it’s been, indeed.
This morning, the Space Shuttle landed back on Earth for the final time. Mere words don’t do justice to its legacy, but this video (http://gizmodo.com/5823357/watch-30-years-of-the-space-shuttle-in-one-single-launch) is pretty cool.
The Space Shuttle-Mir program, which began just five years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, went a long way toward the creation of the ISS, not to mention improving relations between the United States and Russia.
In addition to the Space Shuttle, Russia’s Soyuz rocket and capsule system has taken astronauts to the ISS. Soyuz, which lands on the Earth vertically with the aid of parachutes and now is the only means for traveling to the ISS, is based very closely on the same system that made Yuri Gagarin the first man in orbit 50 years ago (and who can think of him without thinking of the Esbjorn Svensson Trio song about his point of view - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMCkSuaBMbU).
With today’s successful landing of Atlantis, the Russian space agency, Roskosmos, declared, "From today, the era of the Soyuz has started in manned space flight, the era of reliability.”
Roskosmos acknowledged the role of the American space program in exploring the cosmos, but it announced the reason why the Soyuz was still flying after the shuttles retired was because of the Soyuz's reliability and cost-efficiency.
Despite foreign criticisms of its spacecrafts’ age, Russia updated to a modernized TMA-M version of the Soyuz this year, which is lighter and replaced the old analog computer with a digital one.
The U.S. Space Shuttle and Russian Soyuz programs have each experienced two disasters – the Columbia explosion in 2003 was the most recent American accident, while the Soyuz-11 capsule depressurized in space 40 years ago.
Older systems of any sort aren’t any less efficient or reliable than newer ones, but let’s take a moment to recognize the achievements of the U.S. Space Shuttle program and to look forward to the future of reliable space exploration, no matter where on Earth it originates. | aerospace |

Keeping Central Australian skies safe
Date of publication:
17 May 2017
Central Australian pilots are being called on to take part in an important aviation safety briefings next week to keep local skies safe.
Briefings are being held at Alice Springs and Ayers Rock.
The briefings will focus on key safety issues which can put the lives of local pilots at risk when flying.
Issues in the spotlight include fuel management and the handling of partial power loss in single engine aircraft.
These two issues contribute to a number of serious accidents and incidents every year.
Local pilots will look at previous accidents and incidents involving fuel management and engine power loss to learn valuable lessons to keep themselves safe in the sky.
The briefings will also provide an update on new regulations, a reminder about the correct procedures to use at non controlled aerodromes and information on using personal electronic devices while flying.
In addition, the briefings are a chance for pilots to give feedback and suggestions to CASA.
CASA’s Peter Gibson says the briefings for Central Australian pilots are part of a national aviation safety campaign.
“Teaching local pilots aviation lessons for life is a high priority for CASA” Mr Gibson says.
The free Alice Springs aviation safety briefing is being held on Wednesday 24 May 2017 at 6:30pm at the Royal Flying Doctor facility at Alice Springs airport.
The Ayers Rock briefing is being held on Thursday 25 May 2017 at 7pm at the Ayers Rock Lions Club.
People attending are asked to book online at the AvSafety seminars schedule. | aerospace |

An angular sensor of the RVDT senses the angular position of the vane with respect to the fuselage reference line. The angle of attack calibrator provides for calibration of the RVDT’s. The angular position of the vane can be set to any angle from –45 deg to +45 deg and this angle is sensed by a precision encoder, which has an accuracy of 0.03 deg The relative outputs of the four RVDT’s are displayed directly in digital read outs with a resolution of 0.1deg. Direct calibration of the AOA is thus rendered extremely simple. | aerospace |

The IRGC public relations department said in a statement on Thursday that a US spy drone that violated the Iranian territorial airspace in the early hours of Thursday, was fired at by the IRGC Aerospace Force’s air defense unit near the Kooh-e-Mobarak region in the southern province of Hormozgan.
It added that the American “Global Hawk” spy drone has been shot down.
The area is located at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz, only some 80 kilometers from the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
incident occurred a day after Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National
Security Council Ali Shamkhani warned of Tehran’s harsh response to any
intrusion into its airspace or maritime borders.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 10th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Russia’s Ufa on Wednesday, Shamkhani emphasized that Iran robustly protects its aerial and maritime borders.
He also described the Iranian FIR (flight information region) as the country’s “redline”, saying, “No matter whose plane trespasses into it (the airspace), we have always given and will give a harsh response to intruders.”
The IRGC Aerospace Force said the ‘Global Hawk’ spy drone took off from a US military base in south of the Persian Gulf at 19:44 GMT on Wednesday (00:14 am local time on Thursday), switched off all of its communication systems, and flew towards the port city of Chabahar via the Strait of Hormuz in maximum stealth.
When flying back to the western part of the region, the unmanned plane violated the Iranian airspace near the Strait of Hormuz and began to spy on Iran and collect information, the statement added.
The IRGC Aerospace Force’s air defense unit shot down the intruding drone in Iran’s airspace at 23:35 GMT, it noted.
The doomed aircraft, an RQ-4C Global Hawk, is one of the world’s most advanced spy drones that costs more than $200 million to build.
The intruding drone was reportedly shot by Iran’s homegrown air defense missile system “Khordad-3rd”.
In comments made a few hours after the incident, IRGC Commander Major General Hossein Salami said the shooting down of the US aircraft had a straightforward message that any foreign intrusion into Iran’s sovereign territories would draw a crushing response.
“The downing of the US drone had an explicit, decisive and clear message that defenders of the Islamic Iran’s borders will show decisive and knockout reactions to aggression against this territory by any alien,” he said.
“Borders are our redline, and any enemy violating these borders will not go back,” the commander underlined.
He also made it clear that Iran is not seeking war with any country but is fully prepared for any confrontation. “Today’s incident was a clear sign of such a precise message.” | aerospace |

The Hybrid represents the first wing in this class – a new category of wing in our sport, with unprecedented flying characteristics. This unique design combines a classic double surface profile with a single surface profile, together creating a hybrid profile.
Certified in EN-B category, with all but 2 manoeuvres rated EN-A indicating the real life safety of this unique design!
Putting aside all the hype – this wing must be flown to be believed!
The Hybrid is much more than an exotic wing for special purposes. It offers many advantages over single skin designs and also classic wings in beginner to sport categories. Hybrid wings will become mainstream products within a few years, replacing many classic designs out there. We are proud that APCO is behind such an innovation!
This project has been long and difficult but we are sure the term “Hybrid” will be forever coined into our sport!
This project started off as a concept, an idea that we wanted to explore but never expected what we found! The initial test flights of the first prototype were so impressive that we virtually dropped all other projects in an effort to bring this wing to the market. After 2 years of intense R&D we launched the HYBRID!
The Hybrid must be flown to believe all the “hype” around it, but we promise you it is that SPECIAL! Any pilot that had the chance to try it was amazed and after only 1 flight, convinced that this concept is here to stay!
The Hybrid is light (3 kg), but not designed to be a “Lightweight” wing. the absence of bottom surface on the back part of the wing saves weight but is also what makes it fly in such a special way. | aerospace |

The spacecraft was built for NASA to take astronauts to and from the International Space Station. But before it can do that, it has to complete a test flight without astronauts to show that its systems all work properly.
Two previous attempts to undertake that preparatory journey — the first in December 2019 and the second in August 2021 — were both marred by serious technical problems. The setbacks have also cost Boeing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Boeing is catching up to SpaceX, the newer space company founded by Elon Musk that has already carried five NASA crews to orbit in the past two years.
A second transportation option for NASA also offers resilience in case either spacecraft suffers an accident.
Otherwise, NASA would have to rely again on Russia’s Soyuz capsules, which were the only ride to orbit for American astronauts for nearly a decade. Collaboration between the United States and Russia on the space station has become politically complicated after Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year.
At 6:54 p.m. Eastern time, the engines of an Atlas 5 rocket roared from a launching pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, lifting Starliner toward the sky. Thirty-two minutes later, it was safely in orbit.
Just over 24 hours after launch, Starliner is scheduled to dock at the International Space Station.
After four or five days attached to the space station, Starliner is to return to Earth, at one of five locations in the western United States. While most American astronaut capsules have splashed down in the ocean — including SpaceX’s Crew Dragon — Starliner parachutes onto land and sets down atop airbags.
If all goes well, the flight will provide NASA with sufficient data to certify that the spacecraft can safely carry people into space. A demonstration flight with two or three astronauts aboard could launch as soon as the end of the year.
Although this mission is not carrying any astronauts, one of Starliner’s seats is filled by a mannequin named Rosie the Rocketeer.
There is also more than 800 pounds of cargo aboard, mostly food and supplies for the space station crew, but also some memorabilia. The spacecraft is to bring back to Earth almost 600 pounds of cargo from the space station.
Thursday’s launch was a relief for Boeing and NASA officials. The countdown and entry to orbit unfolded without unexpected troubles.
In an uncrewed Starliner flight in December 2019, the problems started almost immediately upon reaching orbit.
A software error caused the Starliner’s clock to be set to the wrong time. That caused the onboard computer to try to move the spacecraft to where it thought the vessel should be. The firing of the thrusters used up much of the propellant, and plans for Starliner to dock at the space station were called off.
While troubleshooting that problem, Boeing engineers discovered a second flaw that would have caused the wrong thrusters to fire as the capsule prepared for re-entry, potentially leading to the destruction of the spacecraft. They fixed that software flaw while Starliner orbited the Earth, and the capsule landed safely at White Sands, N.M.
Those problems put a hold on what would have been the next step: a demonstration flight with astronauts aboard. NASA told Boeing that it needed to repeat the uncrewed test flight, at Boeing’s cost.
Boeing spent more than a year revamping and retesting the software, and in August last year, Starliner was back at the launching pad at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, on top of a second Atlas 5 rocket.
The countdown started, but had to be halted. Flight managers discovered that 13 valves in Starliner’s propulsion system had failed to open.
Boeing then spent about eight months investigating the corrosion that had caused the valves to stick shut. Boeing swapped out the service module — the piece of Starliner below the capsule that houses the propulsion system — with one that had been planned for the next mission.
NASA hired two companies to take astronauts to and from the station: SpaceX and Boeing. At the time of Boeing’s test flight in 2019, it seemed that Starliner would beat out SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule for the first mission with astronauts.
But with Starliner remaining on the ground, SpaceX has since launched seven Crew Dragon missions with astronauts. In addition to the five missions for NASA, two others carried private citizens to orbit.
SpaceX’s missions also appear to be significantly less expensive than Boeing’s. Still, NASA officials say that they are committed to Starliner and that having two systems provides competition, innovation and flexibility.

This year, Fleet Readiness Center South West (FRCSW) became the first depot to complete a full paint scheme for an MQ-8C Fire Scout. FRCSW artisans meticulously stripped and painted the aircraft, a task crucial for its longevity and operational readiness.
Surface preparation was key.
Typically using a hand sanding technique—as opposed to media blasting or chemical stripping hazardous to the environment and employee alike—specialists cleaned and stripped the aircraft’s surface to remove existing paint, coatings or contaminants. Hand sanding was also generally healthier for the aircraft and lowered the likelihood for damage and rework. After surface preparation, a primer coat was applied to enhance adhesion and corrosion resistance. Using spray guns or specialized painting techniques, artisans then applied the base coat, which included the color and any markings or insignias desired by the squadron. Finally, a clear protective layer was applied over the base coat to provide additional durability. Throughout the process, masking techniques were used to ensure precise application and prevent paint from reaching areas where it should not be.
Stripping and painting was essential to the MQ-8C’s longevity and operational readiness for several reasons. It maintained the aircraft’s structural integrity, and allowed for detailed inspections, repairs and maintenance of the aircraft’s surfaces. It also contributed to the overall longevity and serviceability of the aircraft. In addition, MQ-8C aircraft operated in various environments, including high humidity, saltwater exposure, and extreme temperatures. The paint system acted as a protective barrier, shielding the aircraft’s metal surfaces from corrosion caused by moisture and other agents. Moreover, military aircraft often required specific camouflage patterns or colors to blend with their operational environment, such as forests, deserts or open ocean. The paint job made the aircraft less visible and harder to detect by enemy forces. Proper strip and paint procedures ensured that the aircraft displayed the appropriate national insignias, identification codes, unit markings and other required visual cues. These markings facilitated quick identification by friendly forces and aided in effective communication during military operations.
For heat management, some specialized coatings or heat-reflective paints can be applied to aircraft surfaces to manage heat absorption, particularly for areas exposed to high temperatures from engines, exhaust, or other sources. This helped prevent excessive heat buildup and potential damage to sensitive components. By ensuring proper strip and paint procedures, military aircraft maintained their operational readiness, protect against corrosion, enhanced camouflage, facilitated identification, managed heat, and extended their service life—all crucial factors for military effectiveness and safety.
The MQ-8C Fire Scout, a variant of the MQ-8B, is an unmanned aerial vehicle used for expeditionary operations aboard ships. The Navy’s only unmanned helicopter, deployable from land or sea, it provides target-acquisition, real-time intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to the men and women of the US Navy and Marine Corps. In 2015, Naval Air Systems Command designated FRCSW as the location for all maintenance and repair workload on the MQ-8 airframe.
In charge of the process for planning, labor estimates, material and tooling requirements, Jay Noblin and Jeremy Gates are two key leaders that spearheaded the successful enhancement and preservation of the MQ-8C at FRCSW.
“It was a good team effort between engineers and artisans to complete the MQ-8C in what we all believe is a very timely manner,” Gates said.
“We have been lucky to have good leadership that knows about this process and they’re taking what they learned from one aircraft variant to the next,” Noblin said.
Described by Noblin as being “leaders in this rework,” the command successfully completed the full paint scheme of the MQ-8C in just two weeks and at a cost lower than any other organization. As the first depot to complete the full paint scheme for the MQ-8C, FRCSW set the standard and is looking forward to completing future Naval Aviation advancements and solutions. | aerospace |

Plutonium-238 is a special material that emits steady heat due to its natural radioactive decay. Several unique features of plutonium-238 have made it the material of choice to help produce electrical power for more than two-dozen U.S. space missions that have been enabled by radioisotope power systems (RPS).
Plutonium-238 (abbreviated as Pu-238) was selected as the heat source to power these missions by the Department of Energy (DOE), which develops and provides RPS to NASA for use in space exploration. This unique material has been used to create electricity for a wide variety of spacecraft and hardware, from the science experiments deployed on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts to durable robotic explorers, such as the Curiosity Mars rover and the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft, which are at the edge of the solar system. | aerospace |

Boeing chooses Tolmachevo Airport
New aircraft Boeing-777-300 ER has made a technical stop in Tolmachevo Airport. The new aircraft is flying according to the program "Global". Actually it is so to say breaking-in of all details of the most modern machine of one of the biggest world aircraft constructer. The equipment is breaking-in in all regions of the world –in hot weather, cold and high humidity environments.
During the interview Andrei Lobkin, general director of Tolmachevo Airport, noted "Boeing 777-300 ER is an aircraft of XXI century. It has fundamentally new engines that are considered to be the most powerful in the world. This aircraft is an adequate answer to the main Boeing's competitor -- Airbus Industry with A-340.
Tolmachevo Airport, one from a few, was chosen for two reasons:
1. Checking technical potential of the aircraft
2. 2. Developed technical infrastructure of Tolmachevo Airport allows receiving aircraft of such type.
Many airlines are refrain from operating in Siberian airports, being afraid of breakage and impossibility to quickly deliver spare parts. The flight of Boeing 777-300 ER, equipped with 3-4 device-reserved systems, showed that Russian airports are safe enough. The main thing we proved is that Tolmachevo airport is able to receive aircrafts of such type. That fact opens new opportunities for companies to use the shortest routes for passenger and cargo transportation between East and West, South and North.

The company said it targeted to raise as much as $10 million in this round from a number of funds and corporate investors. “Discussions are currently under way,” GITAI said in a statement, adding that it expected to close the fundraising within this year.
The injected capital will be used to support the ongoing development of GITAI’s task substitution robot, and a planned launch of a demonstration model to the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of 2020.
“Low earth orbit space stations such as the ISS are being considered as platforms for commercial activities, and with US companies developing a host of commercial space stations intended to serve as space hotels and science labs, the demand is growing even more,” the company said.
GITAI produces robots to replace astronauts performing space operations. It had a joint research contract with JAXA in December 2018, and sealed a memorandum of understanding with Sky Perfect JSAT, Asia’s largest satellite communication provider, earlier this year.
The GITAI sixth-generation robot, the startup said, has succeeded in conducting operations such as switch operations, using tools, handling soft objects, performing scientific experiments and heavy load manipulations.
Spiral Ventures, formerly IMJ Investment Partners, said the financing for GITAI was made through its debut Japan fund. The vehicle was closed last year at an oversubscribed 7 billion yen ($64 million). Focusing on Japan and Southeast Asia, the VC firm is also managing the Spiral Ventures Asia Fund I, which targets a $50 million corpus.
GITAI had reportedly raised a seed round of $1.25 million in 2017, joined by 500 Startups Japan. Among its new investors, DBJ Capital is the investment arm of the Development Bank of Japan. | aerospace |

Kites launching kites is a meta parent to kites launching kite hang gliders.
There are many ways to use kite systems to effect the launch of a
free-flight hang glider. [Note: The trivial case is that some hang gliders
are already a kite system.]
We are in draft mode on this folder of
files for a hang gliding community launch project; we certainly invite notes from all; please send
your notes by e-mail:
choose to advance this concern. There is large room and opportunity for very
many people to advance launch-HG-by-kite systems. It is anticipated
that sharp practical solutions will be being placed on the option table
throughout the entire 21st century. Any tiny contribution
advancing these techniques could be fun and eventually helpful. Artists
and cartoonists are invited to the technical play. Go for sport or practical
Urged from all who may be interested in one or more methods of launching
hang gliders by use of kite systems:
- Operating procedures
- Detail photographs
- Test results
- Videos of a system's use
- Safety-critical notes and mitigations
- Niche applications of a particular system in recreation, sport,
commerce, survival, science, art, promotional advertising, etc.
The discussion topic that faces a kite hang glider in itself
without further kite systems involved for the launch, is the purist situation
well developed in conventional hang gliding literature. This purist
category may involve such as direct
launching of one's hang glider by foot, incline rolling, incline skiing, ... Such methods involve
jumping up into lift from flatland (using fence lift perhaps) or using the
potential energy obtained by moving the hang glider to a high point (platform,
slope, hill, mountain, building). Moving a hang glider to a point where
potential energy of height may be used for self-launching of the kite hang
glider is frequently done by walking, hiking, getting assist from carriers
(friends, cars, trucks,
buses, helicopters, airplanes, trains, blimps, horses, dogs, etc.); note, such
carriers are carriers only, not launch tugs. Other carriers may be
space-reentry vehicles with the hang glider deployed from the spacecraft. Or a
hang glider might launch from the interior or exterior surface of a powered
aircraft. Or released from a balloon system. This category occupies the major
part of hang gliding literature. Rather,
we spend attention now below on less-direct launch methods that use a kite
system to launch hang gliders into free-flight gliding and soaring.
Varieties of kite-system launching hang gliders into
free-flight gliding and soaring: (collection
is not yet complete; all are welcome to advance the topic)
- Pilot climbs up to the lofted-by-kite arrangement after the HG is lifted by the
kite system. The arrangement aloft may be varied. Hang and release is one
choice. Another is to have an aloft platform. Perhaps held aloft is a tent or
home where hang glider pilots may rest or party before launching off the
- Pilot is lifted with the HG by a kite system.
- Pulley method once kite system is launched.
- HG with pilot mounts kite; kite then zooms to then release the piloted
- HG may be the
to the lifting kite.
- HG may be hung from the lifting kite and then released at will of the
- HG may be as the tail of the lifting kite and then released at will of
- HG may be hung from the main tether of the lifting kite system and then
released at will of the pilot.
- HG may be hoisted up to release altitude, all of which is supported by
the macro kite system.
- HG may be slung via main kite-system tether tension after tether is set
down or pulled down to trigger point. This slinging may be using an
arrangement from ordinary position of a kite tether or from other
arrangements that mimic a Y slingshot.
- Conventional aerotow of HG is a kite system using a powered aircraft;
that powered aircraft also might be an electric aircraft which electricity
could be obtained by a kite-energy-system. The powered aircraft could be
either robot-controlled in untethered flight or robot-control, but tethered
- Pilot is delivered to the lifted-by-kite system via secondary means.
- Kite system holds artificial slope or ramp; pilot carries HG up the
- Kite system holds up artificial slope or fence; pilot jumps off flats into
the lift zone formed windward of the held slope or fence. See suggestive video
in Google video.
- Kite system is used as a tug source for launching hang glider.
- Dynamic free flight system where HG is the lower second-to-fly end of
the free-flight tether.
- Kite system tugs through two separated field pulleys without any
- Kite system tugs through two separated field pulleys with a line-speed
- Kite system is used in a kite-energy-system format to generate electricity
to be used to launch a hang glider. The electricity may be used immediately or
stored for later use in one of these methods:
- Power an electric winch to skyte the HG in conventional manners.
- Power an e-powered harness via cable to source of electricity either
onboard or remote
- Power an electric winch for towing up a hang glider.
- Power a electric aircraft which would then aerotow the hang glider.
- Charge air-framed ultracapacitors that would power an e-harness on
air-frame-held motor for pulling or pushing propellers for power-assist
- Power a power-beam gun for remote powering onboard power-assisted
launching of HG.
- Kite system is used in a kite-energy system format to pump water to a high
reservoir. Let the water drop with a drogue chute in the flow; let the drogue
be tethered which tether tugs a hang glider for its launch.
- When the kite system is the hang glider itself with an extended kite line
from the kite-glider (wing and/or pilot-connect) to a powered aircraft. Such
aerotow launching is faced in extensive literature on aerotow of hang gliders
- When the kite system is the hang glider itself and a fixed ground
mooring is used in ambient winds is self-kiting with its special challenges
and niche purposes. Bridge-hung. Balloon-hung.
- When the kite system is the hang glider itself but towed by a
- moving boat or ship or jet-ski
- moving car or truck using a static-length tow line
- moving car or truck using a tension-controlling payout reel
- moving car or truck using a tension-controlling payout winch
- moving embedded-in-river drogue chute or embedded-in-river paravane
- moving embedded-in-river paravane.
- When the kite system is the hang glider itself using fixed-length extended
long tether to fixed ground anchor.
- Single-bungee line launch self-set with bungee left on ground after
triggered use for launch.
- Single-bungee line launch self-set with line winched aloft after launch is
- Dynamic system where moving paravane and long-line air-kite HG use ambient
wind. At selected time, the HG releases.
Kite-system choices for the tasks of tug or
- The kite-hang glider itself only with no extended tug line.
- The kite-hang glider itself with extended tug line without further
paravane or kite system.
- Single wing kite beyond the HG.
- Multiple wing kite with back-to-front stack train.
- Multiple wing kite with branching from main tether.
- Multiple wing kite in coterie

The drone is “half of the price” of the United States’ Reaper or Predator B, the world’s first unmanned aerial vehicle, The South China Morning Post reported.
According to Wang Song, a professor of aeronautic science and engineering at Beihang University, the $16.9 million Reaper is also the world’s most expensive drone.
“The CH-5 may come in at less than half of the price,” Wang said.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation will begin producing 10 to 20 units a year, according to the Chinese analyst.
“This should meet the early demand,” Wang said, adding China is ready to export its latest drone to interested buyers seeking a UAV with similar capacities as the Reaper.
The CH-5 can be equipped with a maximum of 16 air-to-ground missiles and stay airborne for nearly 48 hours, according to Shi Wen, the drone’s chief designer.
Modifications can allow the drone to fly for up to 120 hours with a range of 6,200 miles.
The performance of the CH-5 “leaves the Predator series in the dust,” Shi said.
But Wang said the Chinese drone couldn’t climb as high as the Reaper, which makes it susceptible to certain kinds of anti-aircraft systems.
The Rainbow flight was conducted successfully at a military airport in Hebei province, according to state news agency Xinhua.
Countries like Iraq may already be deploying Chinese drones to fight the Islamic State.
In 2015, Iraq’s defense ministry released a video shows a missile attack on an IS target by a CH-4B drone, which is a third of the size of the CH-5. | aerospace |

But that doesn't mean the reclusive country is close to having an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Defying international concerns, North Korea fired a long-range rocket early Friday that splintered into pieces over the Yellow Sea about a minute after takeoff in an apparent failure, South Korean and U.S. officials said.
North Korean space officials said Tuesday that all assembly and preparations for this week's planned satellite launch have been completed and denied it is a cover for a missile test.
The United States and its allies are deploying missile defenses on land and sea so they can, if necessary, shoot down a multistage rocket that North Korea says it will launch within a few days.
China has pulled off a tricky and uncommon feat in space flight, maneuvering one of its satellites to within about 300 yards of another while they were orbiting Earth, space analysts say. | aerospace |

Ball is now well into the fabrication of the instrument following the successful PDR and a confirmation review.
TEMPO, an air quality sensor that will provide hourly monitoring of pollution across North America, is the first NASA Earth Venture Instrument mission with a UV-visible air quality spectrometer to be placed in geostationary orbit.
“The recent milestone is exciting because we’re now moving into the build of hardware for the mission,” said Principal Investigator Kelly Chance, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, Mass. “We have made amazing advancements in the ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy of the Earth’s atmosphere, but TEMPO will allow us to make air quality measurements at revolutionary temporal and spatial scales.”
“Ball Aerospace is pleased to be building the TEMPO instrument under a firm-fixed price contract with NASA’s Langley Research Center,” said Jim Oschmann, vice president and general manager for Ball’s Civil Space and Technology business unit. “Ball has a long history of providing cost-effective solutions for Earth observation and remote-sensing missions with fixed-price contracts.”
The TEMPO instrument is designed to make accurate observations of atmospheric pollution with high spatial and temporal resolution over North America, from Mexico City to the Canadian oil sands, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. TEMPO will observe Earth’s atmosphere in ultraviolet and visible wavelengths to determine concentrations of many key atmospheric pollutants, such as ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde. TEMPO will share a ride on a yet unidentified commercial satellite as a hosted payload.
In addition to TEMPO, Ball Aerospace is jointly developing a similar geostationary ultraviolet visible spectrometer, the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS), with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), South Korea. | aerospace |

The significance of adequate flight training for pilots
The importance of selecting the correct training course cannot be overstated while seeking a career as a pilot. A good course for pilots will establish the groundwork for your future success in aviation.
First and foremost, a good training school guarantees that you get thorough education in all elements of flying. Each class is meticulously designed to offer you with the skills necessary to handle any circumstance that may happen while flying, from understanding the principles of flight to mastering complex manoeuvres.
A good training course will also expose you to real-world conditions through simulated flights and practical exercises. This practical experience helps you to apply theoretical information in a safe setting, increasing your confidence and decision-making skills.
Furthermore, selecting the right course might lead to intriguing chances in the business. Because of their strict standards and emphasis on safety, many airlines prefer to hire pilots who have completed recognised training programmes.
Enrolling in a reputed programme also indicates your devotion and commitment to becoming an aviator. It demonstrates to potential employers that you are prepared to put in the time and effort to improve your abilities, making you a more appealing candidate for employment.
Choosing the right training school is critical for aspiring pilots who want to commence their careers professionally. It not only provides students with necessary knowledge, but it also instals confidence and opens doors to future prospects in this fast-paced business. So make an informed decision, because taking flight begins with picking the appropriate path!
Future aviators can choose from a variety of training curricula
Choosing the correct training course is critical while pursuing a career as a pilot. There are various sorts of courses accessible to aspiring aviators with various backgrounds and aspirations.
The Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training is a popular alternative. This course lays the groundwork for people interested in flying light aircraft for enjoyment or as a hobby. It covers topics like flying laws, navigation, and fundamental aerodynamics.
An Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) training is required for anyone interested in pursuing a career in commercial aviation. This in-depth programme covers advanced topics like instrument flying, airline procedures, and crew resource management. It prepares pupils for the obstacles that professional pilots would confront.
The Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) course is another option worth investigating. This training provides aspiring aviators with the knowledge and abilities required to teach others how to fly. Becoming a CFI not only broadens one’s knowledge but also provides prospects for work at flight schools.
In addition to these regular degrees, specialised programmes for specific sorts of aviation vocations are provided. Aspiring helicopter pilots, for example, can participate in Helicopter Pilot Training courses that focus on rotorcraft operations.
The best training course for you is determined by your personal goals and career objectives. Before making a decision, it is critical to properly investigate each programme and evaluate aspects such as cost, duration, and the reputation of the training facility.
Opportunities for International Pilot Training for Aspiring Pilots
When it comes to training opportunities for budding pilots, the globe is their oyster. Because aviation is a global profession, there are several international programmes and courses available to assist future aviators in achieving their goals.
Studying abroad at renowned flying schools or academies in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, or Europe is one such possibility. These schools provide extensive training programmes that include all areas of flying, from theory to actual practise. Aspiring pilots acquire essential exposure to diverse aviation practices and laws by immersing themselves in a new culture and learning environment.
Furthermore, some airlines provide cadet pilot programmes in which candidates receive rigorous training while working towards their commercial pilot licence. These programmes frequently involve mentorship opportunities with experienced pilots and employment placements following completion.
Participating in exchange programmes or internships with airlines or flying schools abroad is another fascinating option for international training. Aspiring aviators can not only improve their skills, but also widen their perspectives by flying different aircraft models and operating techniques.
Before beginning on an international training tour, aspiring pilots must consider costs, visa restrictions, language hurdles (if any), and local aviation rules that may differ from their home country’s norms.
Aside from official training courses abroad, potential aviators should aim for ongoing self-improvement outside of the classroom. They can join professional organisations such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) or attend aviation-related workshops and conferences.
Pilots grow towards becoming seasoned experts capable of navigating any airspace with ease by taking advantage of these worldwide training opportunities and continuing polishing their abilities throughout their career path! | aerospace |

Q: When a new aircraft is acquired, does it come with a warranty period similar to that of a new car? Jack Minacs, Markham, Ontario
An airplane’s “nose-to-tail” warranty is similar to a bumper-to-bumper car warranty in that most components are covered for a specified period, depending on the terms of the negotiated contract. Components such as engines, tires and brakes, which are all leased at Air Canada, come with their own warranties. But warranty or not, strict maintenance schedules based on hours flown and / or number of takeoffs and landings keep our aircraft in tip-top shape.
Q: Why do our ears get plugged upon descent, even though the cabin is pressurized? Christian-Marc Panneton, Québec
An aircraft’s cabin is pressurized to an equivalent of 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level at cruising altitude. As we descend, the cabin must depressurize – typically at 150 to 400 feet per minute compared to the aircraft’s descent rate of 1,500 to 2,000 feet per minute. For some passengers, the discomfort arises when the Eustachian tube, which equalizes the air pressure, is blocked. And if these tubes are tiny, as with babies, you’ll hear about it!
Q: What are all those dings heard when flying? Andrew Axson, Guelph, Ontario
The most frequent ding you’ll hear is the seat belt sign coming on or off. On Airbus aircraft, you’ll also hear a ding when the landing gear tucks into the belly. Other dings are heard when flight attendants at different stations use the interphone to communicate with each other, when the flight deck calls a flight attendant and when passengers press the assist button. And you may even hear cooking timers dinging in the galley.
Would you hear the ones when sterile cockpit is in effect? Like in the Jungle Jet when they hit the sterile cockpit switch to the left of the Smoking sign, or does that one of the 3 lights displayed above the entrance to the cabin?
Daniel. I can't speak for the Jungle Jet (Embraer) but the chime in the Airbus flight deck wakes up the dead. It's annoying. Airbus should have used a quieter chime for the cabin chime instead of using the same chime for SELCAL (Selective Calling). I'm certain it would be an easy modification. Again, the loud chime is distracting and sometimes you have to ask ATC to repeat things.
That was the problem of sleeping in the bunk of the A340 located directly behind the flight deck. The chime to flight deck could be heard inside the bunks.
A brief comment on why ears get plugged on descent. It has to do with anatomy. The eustachian tubes equalize pressure between the middle ear and the nasopharynx (the upper throat behind the nose). The part of the eustachian tubes that reach the nasopharynx protude slightly. Thus they aren't good at passively opening to let air in, which is necessary when descending as cabin air pressure increases. Rather, they are much better at passively allowing excess air to escape from the middle ear, such as during ascent when cabin air pressure is decreasing. By swallowing, some of the nasopharynx moves enough to permit the eustachian tubes to open. Yawning also works. Forcing air into the tubes (by pinching your nose, closing your mouth and squeezing your belly - a Valsalva manoeuvre) can overfill the tubes and damage your ear drum, or force phlegm with bacteria into the middle ear, leading to an ear infection.
Cool post, lots of good questions.
Also interesting on the Valsalva manoeuvre, I will try to avoid its use in the future.
Peter. Thanks for the great explanation. Sounds like you have a medical background or a keen interest on how things work.
Again thanks for the comments.
I remember flying back from Norway with a bad cold - the effects of the pressure and everything blocked up inside made me feel like my eye was about to pop out - very painful!
When I worked the cabins for KLM - we were always advised to call in sick if we had a cold due to the risk of bursting your ear drum in flight when the pressure in the eustachian tubes cannot equalize.
Carlton. Head colds are taken pretty serious among crew. Just last month one Calgary based flight attendant booked off in Vancouver.
She seeked medical attention and had to remain in Vancouver for a couple of days in a hotel because of a head cold. Today's pressurization systems are much easier on the ears. Years ago we would get requests from flight attendants to descend earlier to lesson the descent rate.
Also passengers would open their suitcases only to find popped open containers such as toothpaste, creams, alcohol, etc. Some even claim their
glass covers to their watches popped off. Sure it still happens but less frequently.
Thanks for your comments.
Anon. Thanks for the feedback.

1. SPACE PRIORITIES: GUESS WHAT PROGRAM NASA DECIDED TO ABANDON?
President Bush directed NASA to reallocate $11B of its resources over the next
five years to a program to send humans back to the moon and on to Mars. It
should be a no-brainer. They've got this humongous, leaky, space turkey called
the International Space Station. ISS was supposed to keep eight astronauts
busy doing bogus science experiments, like finding out if the scent of a rose
is different when it blooms in zero gravity (WN
7 Feb 03). With the ISS crew down to two, they're too busy trying to stay
alive to do even bogus science. But the President says we have a commitment to
finish building the ISS before we can scrap it. So instead, Sean O'Keefe announced
the termination of maintenance on the Hubble Space Telescope, thus dooming it
to an early death.
2. REPROGRAMMING ISS: LONG-TERM EFFECT OF SPACE TRAVEL ON HUMANS.
There isn't much you can do with a space station. The President says it will become a space-medicine laboratory to prepare for the return of humans to the moon and on to Mars. Hmmm, that's exactly what his father wanted to use the station for (WN
12 Jul 91). The ISS is inside Earth's magnetosphere, so it can't study space-radiation effects, which is the real show stopper. That leaves osteoporosis. Let's see: it will take at least 12 years to complete our commitment to the ISS. Calcium loss is monitored by a daily urine analysis, typically requiring about 30ml. For a full 8 person crew that adds up to more than one thousand liters. Awesome, we're talking $10M just to launch the water into orbit that will then be processed into urine. We have already been analyzing urine samples collected in space for over 30 years.
3. NUCLEAR WEAPONS: LOTS OF "BEWARE-OF-DOG" SIGNS - BUT FEW DOGS.
"The first liar," they say in Texas, "hasn't got a chance." All around the world, petty tyrants keep their hands under the table and try to look like they're holding a weapon. Sig Hecker, the former head of Los Alamos Lab who visited North Korea's nuclear facilities (WN
16 Jan 04), briefed a Senate Committee Wednesday. He is unconvinced that they have the bomb. Curiously, North Korea denies it has a uranium enrichment program as the U.S. charges. Instead, they claim to have extracted plutonium from spent fuel rods, but nothing is known of its isotopic composition, if indeed it is plutonium. A Pu bomb is far more difficult to build than a U bomb and there is nothing to indicate they can do it. But even as North Korea brandishes weapons it doesn't have, Libya, which had only recently declared it had a nuclear program, has now announced its program is being dismantled in an effort to have sanctions lifted from the 1988 downing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland. The chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency, who toured the Libyan sites, says there wasn't much to dismantle. Libya, it now appears, was nowhere near large-scale enrichment. | aerospace |

Excerpt from Tate-in-Space Discussion December 12, 2002
For its integration in the Mir station the "Cosmic Dancer Sculpture" had to be both compact and lightweight. A weight limit of 1 kg and approximate dimensions of 35 x 35 x 40 cm were agreed to. The weight requirement was determined by the per kilogram cost of the launch and this influenced the ultimate proportions of the sculpture which were then optimized in insure easy movement of the sculpture inside the Mir station and, of course to meet my aesthetic criteria.
As a first step, I constructed several prototype sculptures out of wood to the above dimensions and painted them in various color schemes in my typical pointillistic technique. One of these prototype sculptures was then delivered to NPO Energia in Russia for cosmonaut training purposes in December 1992.
A pre-flight training exercise with the sculpture was conducted by the designated cosmonaut crew consisting of Gennadi Manakov and Alexander Polishchuk at the Mir mock- up located at the cosmonaut training facility at Star City, Russia. This exercise simulated the Cosmic Dancer in the Mir station by suspending the sculpture with a nylon mono-filament line from the ceiling and spinning it. A video recording and photographs of this exercise were made and delivered to me in January, 1993. Later in January, the two cosmonauts were launched to the Mir station for a six-month tour of duty.
Standard water-based acrylic polymer artists' paints were proposed for the surface finish. However, the paint used had to satisfy toxic out-gassing standards for the Mir environment. Samples of each color were sent to NPO Energia for testing and these were subsequently approved. The paints used were "Lascaux Studio Acrylic Paints" manufactured by the Swiss art materials manufacturer Alois K. Delthelm AG.
To prevent possible biological or germ contamination of the closed Mir environment, it was also required that the sculpture be sterilized by submersion it in an alcohol solution prior to launch. As acrylic paint reacts negatively to alcohol, a suitable varnish that could support the sterilization procedure and not affect the acrylic paint had to be utilized. A two-component epoxy transparent varnish was found that satisfied this requirement.
To minimize flammability and to ensure structural stability during the launch phase, hollow 40 mm square aluminum tubing with a wall thickness of 2 mm was chosen as a material and a local contractor was selected for its construction. The material was cut to the exact dimensions of the wooden prototype sculpture.
To meet the stringent weight requirements of 1 kg, the aluminum tubes had to be reduced by 20% of their original thickness. This was done by magnetic sanding all sides of the aluminum tubes in the necessary manner. The pieces were then assembled by welding.
The color scheme selected for the flight sculpture was based on the following criteria: (1) The sculpture had to have sufficient contrast with the Mir environment in order to insure that good images could be obtained on film and video and, (2) it should offer an "aesthetic" contribution to the cosmonauts living quarters.
With these two considerations as a guide, I chose a dominant green color scheme for the flight sculpture. This decision was reached after viewing photographs and video tapes of the Mir station interior which indicated a somewhat drab, technical environment crowded and cluttered with equipment, tubes and cables. In contrast, from the view portals, the cosmonauts could observe the blackness of space and the brilliant blue and white of the Earth. Green was also considered because of its association with terrestrial plants and the psychologically calming effects that associations with nature are reported to induce. In the photographs of the Mir interior made available by NPO Energia, there appeared to be very little of this color in its brighter intensities in the Mir station environment. It turned out that this choice of color was positively welcomed by the crew for these reasons.
The flight sculpture was thus painted in this color scheme with the Lascaux Studio Acrylic Paints, finished with the approved epoxy varnish and delivered to NPO Energia's agent in Germany Kayser-Threde GmbH in March, 1993.
Kayser-Threde carried out the sterilization procedures, dried the sculpture in an exhaust oven and vacuum-packed it for delivery to NPO Energia which was then responsible for the construction of a packing system necessary for its integration into the Progress launch vehicle. The Cosmic Dancer was launched to the Mir space station on May 22, 1993.
Final Note: The Cosmic Dancer probably could not have been flown on the the US space shuttle as NASA had a strict policy concerning the flight of non-scientific payloads. Also I believe the angular edges of the sculpture may have been considered to be too sharp - and thus pose a potential hazard to the space shuttle crew and equipment. Something to keep in mind if you are planning artworks for the ISS. | aerospace |
