Bombardier Martyn Gates, from Southampton, says use of unmanned aircraft vital in Afghanistan
2:16pm Wednesday 18th December 2013 in News
IT is better to lose a thousand unmanned aircraft than the life of one man on the ground, a Southampton soldier has said today.
Bombardier Martyn Gates, who is part of a team that flies one of the UK's unmanned aircraft in Afghanistan, said its use is vital in gathering information without risking soldiers' lives.
The comments come after the Ministry of Defence released images of Defence Secretary Philip Hammond visiting RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, where the RAF's Reaper aircraft in Afghanistan are piloted, as part of efforts to dispel myths about ''drones''.
British troops fly a variety of remote-controlled aircraft in Afghanistan, most unarmed, which are used to gather intelligence to be passed on to troops on the ground.
But while Reapers are flown by pilots in RAF Waddington, many smaller craft are flown from highly-trained pilots based in Helmand Province.
The Theatre Integrated Unmanned Aircraft Systems Battery Group, based in Camp Bastion, is home to several Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), from small Desert Hawk aircraft, to Tarantula-Hawks - resembling airborne dustbins, and capable of hovering above the object they are looking at - and larger Hermes 450 aircraft.
None are armed, but have varying ranges and capabilities and are used to video the ground below, sending images back to analysts at Camp Bastion to provide intelligence and information.
Those who fly them and collect information from their live feeds today said they are invaluable to troops on the ground.
Bombardier Gates, from 32 Regiment Royal Artillery, said: ''I would rather lose one of these than lose a life, I would rather lose a thousand of these than lose lives.''
And the 26-year-old, from Southampton, said the effectiveness of the Desert Hawk made insurgents ''hate'' those that fly it.
''They don't see this as a threat, they see us as a threat. They hate us but we're here to do a job and we do that job very well.''
Major Charlie Harmer, officer commanding the battery, said if unmanned aircraft can gather information by putting less people at risk, then they were vital.
''There's a misconception that they are not flown by people - the crews fly them, they are trained pilots, whatever the size these blokes go through an awful lot of training,'' the 35-year-old, from Penzance, said.
And as a commander on the ground himself in Afghanistan in 2007, he said he knew firsthand how reassuring they can be.
''I remember being on patrol at night, when you couldn't see much, you had your night vision goggles on but it was still difficult to see.
''But you knew one of these was up there, watching. It's very reassuring when you're on the ground.''
Staff Sergeant Gerwyn Taylor, 35, from Pontypridd, south Wales, who analyses the information that comes back from the aircraft, said: ''It can be invaluable. There's areas where we don't have freedom of movement, but with this we have a 150km range.
''You're not going to send guys on the ground to go and look at something 150km away, but we can send this.''
He said on one occasion, UAS were used to check the reason behind a build-up of traffic on a certain bridge, which led to analysts spotting that there was a contraflow.
''You don't have to endanger boots on the ground to say there's a contraflow and that's why there's a build-up of traffic.''
During his visit to RAF Waddington, Mr Hammond saw the full range of unmanned aerial equipment, including the Hermes 450 and the Tarantula Hawk, and spoke to infantry soldiers recently returned from Afghanistan who spoke of the benefits of the 'eyes in the sky'.
He said: ''Vital to our efforts to protect our forces and the people of Afghanistan, this battle-winning technology allows us to: understand the situation on the ground more clearly; develop better intelligence; and precisely strike, within our rules of engagement, those who threaten or hurt the people we are protecting.
''Much of the criticism of Unmanned Aerial Systems is based on misunderstanding. This event provides a great opportunity to better inform people about these life-saving assets and their variety of purpose.''
The MoD said that in over 54,000 hours of operations the UK's Reaper, the only armed system used by British Armed Forces, had fired just 459 weapons - less than one weapon in every 120 hours of flying.
There has also been just one known operation that led to the deaths of civilians in March 2011 when an attack on two pick-up trucks destroyed a large quantity of insurgent explosives and caused the death of two insurgents, but also killed four Afghan civilians.

The disruptions to the flight schedule of El Al Israel Airlines Ltd. (TASE: ELAL) continued over the weekend. Flight 095 to Beijing, scheduled to take off at 22:45 on Saturday night was postponed to 9:00 this morning. Flight 021 to New York, originally scheduled to take off at 23:30 on Saturday night, was postponed to 6:50 this morning. Another flight that has been substantially rescheduled is this morning's 8:00 flight to Heraklion in Greece, which has been postponed to 15:45. This flight is operated by El Al subsidiary Sun d'Or.
These disruptions follow flight cancellations in the past two weeks: on Thursday, El Al cancelled its flight to Boston, one of a spate of cancellations that have hit the airline's passengers recently. El Al's explanation was that the cancellations were for "operational reasons".
In most cases, passengers are informed of cancellations or changes only in the 24 hours before the flight concerned, which naturally causes frustration at upset plans.

A powerful US Senate committee has warned of serious weaknesses in the way new aircraft have been built by Boeing.
It also criticised how the company's aircraft were certified as safe to fly by the regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation report was based on the testimony of seven whistleblowers from the industry.
It came in response to two Boeing 737 Max crashes, which killed 346 people.
Boeing said it was reviewing the report: "Boeing teammates are encouraged to speak up whenever they have safety or quality concerns," the planemaker said.
It also said that many issues in the report "have been previously publicized, and Boeing has worked to address them with oversight" by the FAA.
On Monday, the FAA said it "takes all whistleblower allegations seriously and does not tolerate retaliation against those who raise safety concerns."
Whistleblowers raised serious concerns, but were ignored or sidelined, and lives were put at risk. It is a familiar refrain. But now, some of those whistleblowers have been listened to.
The Senate report is based on testimony from seven named individuals, all of them highly qualified. One still works at Boeing, while another remains at the FAA.
They include the likes of Ed Pierson, a former senior manager on the 737 Max programme; Martin Bickeboeller, who played a leading role in the development of the 787; and former FAA safety engineer Joe Jacobsen.
Their testimony paints a disturbing picture of lax production standards and deeply inadequate safety oversight, at a time when the industry has been facing new challenges because of the increasing complexity of aircraft.
Both the FAA and Boeing insist they have worked to address the weaknesses highlighted in the report. But two of the whistleblowers on the list recently told the BBC they still had concerns about the safety of the 737 Max.
Risk of 'catastrophic failure'
The 97-page Aviation Safety Whistleblower Report highlighted allegations that the FAA's safety certification process "suffers from undue pressure on line engineers and production staff".
It also described conflicts of interest, where for example the same engineer had been responsible for preparing equipment for official tests, as well as carrying out those same tests.
It claimed that engineers with specific technical expertise were ignored or sidelined during the development of both Boeing's 737 Max and of the 787 Dreamliner.
In one case, it says, an FAA engineer warned his superiors that the 787 faced a risk of "catastrophic failure due to uncontrolled fire" due to the way its batteries were installed. In 2013, the 787 was grounded due to battery fires.
The report also includes claims by whistleblowers that there are gaps in the FAA's processes, that "have resulted in aircraft designs that do not meet the most recent airworthiness standards".
It said this allowed the 737 Max to be approved to fly while equipped with software - later implicated in both crashes - that "did not receive proper scrutiny".
Flaws in the aircraft's systems were "creatively hidden or outright withheld" from the FAA during the certification process, the report said.
The report went on to say that the FAA had failed to provide enough safety engineers to oversee the much-criticised "Organization Designation Authorization" programme, under which Boeing itself was responsible for carrying out a significant amount of safety certification work on its own products, on behalf of the regulator.
Critics have described this process as being like Boeing "marking its own homework".
The committee report also draws on testimony that suggests the FAA has prioritised efficiencies, by delegating increasing amounts of work - and its safety oversight has been eroded as a result.
The document pointed out that in recent years the regulator certified two aircraft - the 787 and the 737 Max - which were later grounded for safety reasons.
In the case of the 737 Max this led to the loss of hundreds of lives and is estimated to have cost Boeing more than $20bn (£15.2bn).
In January, Boeing agreed to a deferred prosecution agreement with the US Justice Department, including $2.5bn in fines and compensation linked to the 737 Max crashes. | aerospace |

NASA has posted the results of its first-ever economic impact report, which said the 62-year-old agency’s activities generated $64.3 billion in economic output during fiscal year 2019, supported more than 312,000 jobs nationwide and generated an estimated $7 billion in federal, state and local taxes across the country.
“In this new era of human spaceflight, NASA is contributing to economies locally and nationally, fueling growth in industries that will define the future, and supporting tens of thousands of new jobs in America,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement.
While NASA consumes “just one-half of 1 percent of the federal budget,” Bridenstine said the study “confirms, and puts numbers, to what we have long understood – that taxpayer investment in America’s space program yields tremendous returns that strengthen our nation on several fronts – a stronger economy, advances in science and technology, and improvements to humanity.”
According to the report, NASA generated an annual economic impact of more than $10 million in 43 states and more than $1 billion in eight states, including Florida.
In Florida, NASA spent $5.9 billion in contracts that employed 33,093 people in fiscal year 2019. That ranked fourth in the nation behind California (69,725 employed, $16.6 billion in contracts), Texas (40,321, $8.7 billion), Alabama (35,768, $6.1 billion) and Maryland (35,563, $7.5 billion).
NASA also conducted an economic impact study of its Moon To Mars initiative – a goal to return to the moon and get to Mars within a decade – generated more than $14 billion in total economic output and $1.5 billion in tax revenues for state and local governments, and supported more than 69,000 jobs nationwide in fiscal year 2019.
NASA said its Moon To Mars program generated $2 billion in economic impact and supported 10,870 jobs in Florida. Only Colorado, with 12,419 working on $2.6 billion in contracts, and Alabama, with 18,609 employed doing $3.28 billion in work, were more involved in the endeavor.
The Orion crew capsule for the Moon to Mars program is being built at Kennedy Space Center on Florida’s Space Coast, the epicenter of private commercial aerospace development in the state, with Elon Musk-owned Space X, Jeff Bezos-owned Blue Origin, Boeing, Relativity Space, Firefly Aerospace, Lockheed, OneWeb Satellites and others setting up shop.
The first crewless test flight of a Florida-built Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew capsule will launch on a month-long mission around the moon in 2021. The Artemis II test flight with astronauts will follow, and then Artemis III, which will land astronauts on the moon.
Among key advantages enjoyed by the state in competing for aerospace development is the 2006 creation of Space Florida, which operates five “spaceport” special districts dedicated to, as Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed last year, make Florida the “Silicon Valley of space.”
Space Florida has a $16.5 million fiscal year 2021 budget, including $11.5 million in state general revenue funds, and has drawn more than $1 billion in nonfederal investment to modernize its infrastructure in the past 15 years. It offers an array of tax incentives for aerospace development companies. | aerospace |

Fuel is the single greatest cost for any airline. As a result, many manufacturers are creating new engines, structural and interior components to develop lighter weight aircrafts. To support this innovation, we’re going beyond traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques and investing in additive manufacturing capabilities to produce complex structures that are lighter, faster and stronger.
Lighter, Faster And Stronger Aircrafts
Additive manufacturing enables you to:
- Lighten engines by consolidating parts: This enables planes to fly further, while reducing fossil fuel consumption.
- Reduce the number of individual components: This means you have less failure points, which increases aircraft dependability and passenger safety, while simultaneously lowering your maintenance costs.
- Improve fuel efficiency: This translates into lower CO2 emissions and less cost-per-passenger mile.
It is worth noting that making engines more fuel efficient can cause them to run hotter. In short, lightweighting is a great solution with a number of benefits, but it doesn’t solve all challenges. That’s why it’s essential to partner with a solutions-oriented vendor, who understands your unique needs, and can supply the right technology to address them.

- SpaceX, the rocket company founded by Elon Musk, launched a Bangladeshi communications satellite on Friday.
- But the main attraction was the final version of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, called Block 5.
- Falcon 9 Block 5 may deliver up to 10% more thrust, a 10- to 100-fold improvement in reusability, and a 10-fold reduction in launch costs.
- SpaceX hopes to use the new rocket to launch NASA astronauts into space in less than a year.
SpaceX — the rocket company founded by Elon Musk — has launched Bangabandhu-1, which is Bangladesh's first geostationary communications satellite.
But spaceflight aficionados mostly gawked at the brand-new rocket carrying the payload: SpaceX's most powerful, most reusable, and possibly most affordable version of its Falcon 9 rocket to date, called Block 5 "full thrust."
Falcon 9 is the rocket SpaceX launches most often; in fact, Friday's launch marks the 56th successful mission for the workhorse rocket over eight years. The launches have ferried thousands of pounds of cargo to and from the International Space Station, put dozens of commercial satellites into orbit, launched classified military payloads, and raked in billions of dollars.
While SpaceX engineers have constantly tinkered with the rocket over the past decade, adding new features, increasing efficiency, and boosting power, Musk has said Falcon 9 Block 5 will be the "final version" before the company focuses on its bigger, badder rockets for colonizing Mars.
Over the past year or so, Musk and Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president and chief operating officer, have described many of the core changes to the rocket.
Below is a summary of what to expect from the latest and last iteration of Falcon 9, based on our previous reporting, a list of changes compiled by Reddit's r/SpaceX community (which we first heard about from Eric Berger at Ars Technica), and other sources.

Research details gleaned from the spacecraft are busting some preconceived ideas about the region while throwing up new questions about its existence. Details of the Cassini’s findings are being published in Science journal by six teams of researchers since 5 October under the headline of the spacecraft’s “Grand Finale” when it finally ran out of fuel.
Cassini’s direct sampling of the region shows that complex organic matter rain down from Saturn’s rings while particles in its inner rings develop electrical charges to travel on magnetic-field lines; it has an electric-current system and radiation belt; the spacecraft also made a close measurement of Saturn’s sub-zero magnetic-field tilt. When the team realized that the Cassini is nearly out of fuel, they steered it as close to Saturn as possible within 22 orbits to gather detailed information before it vaporized and plunged into atmosphere in September 2017.
The team maneuvered Cassini to a region it was not designed to fly in, namely, the Saturn’s magnetized environment and probe through icy rocky ring particles while sniffing the atmosphere within 2,000 kilometer radius shrouded within clouds and rings. Some of the findings of this last trip of Cassini are Presence of water, silicates, methane, ammonia, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and carbon dioxide within the rings. Varied organic compounds exist within its moons Enceladus and Titan; so, there are three distinct organic molecular reservoirs within Saturn’s system. Cassini saw for the first time in human history about how the planet’s external rings interact with the planet and witnessed inner ring particles and gases falling directly into its atmosphere. Also,Cassini revealed that an unknown electric current connects the rings to the top of this planet’s atmosphere. | aerospace |

Can The Checkmate outstrip F-35 and FC-31?
UAC Sukhoi unveiled a brand new fifth-generation fighter known as The Checkmate (Su-75) at MAKS-2021 Worldwide Aviation and House Airshow in Zhukovsky close to Moscow.
This can be a single-engine plane with a most velocity from Mach 1.8 to Mach 2, a flight vary of 3000 km and a payload of 7400 kg.
Rostec Company describes the plane as a light-weight single-engine fighter jet that implements “progressive options”, together with synthetic intelligence.
In keeping with the producer, the jet can assault as much as six targets “even within the presence of robust digital interference.”
The dual fin fuselage of the plane is made with the usage of stealth applied sciences. The fighter is able to carrying each air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons, equivalent to:
- air-to-air missiles with infrared and radar steerage,
- air-to-ground missiles,
- anti-ship missiles, guided and unguided bombs and unguided rockets.
The Checkmate was designed as a brief takeoff and touchdown fighter that makes it potential to apply it to plane carriers. The plane might be geared up with:
- energetic phased array radar,
- optical and digital reconnaissance tools,
- in addition to digital warfare tools.
With a price ticket of $25-30 million, the brand new fighter will be capable to transport UAVs and launch them whereas flying. The plane is able to destroying overseas “fifth era plane” and “is designed to resist sixth era methods that will seem within the coming a long time.” An unmanned model of the plane is below growth as properly.
The aircraft is anticipated to take off in 2023, whereas the primary batch of them is to be prepared in 2026. Russia plans to provide 300 of those plane inside 15 years after the beginning of serial manufacturing.
“If we examine it with the American F-35 fighter, its closest analogue, The Checkmate is a special plane. It has a larger velocity, larger vary, larger payload. It has a a lot better stealthiness. I might not say that the comparability with some other plane is right.” It has a novel aerodynamic design,” stated Alexei Bulatov, Deputy Chief Designer of The Checkmate.
The International Instances, a Chinese language publication, in an article titled May Russia’s newly unveiled Checkmate rival China’s FC-31 in world market? wrote that the Russian fighter seems to be aggressive with the American F-35 within the worldwide arms market.
“Judging from the aerodynamic design, the Checkmate appears to have a superior stealth functionality to the Su-57, permitting it to raised keep away from radar detection,” the newspaper stated on the subject of Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based navy professional.
In his opinion, Checkmate’s entry into the market might also have an effect on the export of Chinese language fighters, such because the FC-31, however to realize this purpose, Russian plane producers should act rapidly, as a result of the Chinese language are “one step forward.”
F-35 is a Mercedes, however many are proud of a Hyundai — Su-75
Air Power Journal compares the brand new Russian fighter with Lockheed Martin’s F-35. By way of most overloads when making a flip, the Su-75 offers 8G, and the F-35A — 9G, however sequence B and C — 7.5G.
As for the engine thrust, Russian officers alluded to 32,000 kilos, the publication identified, and the F135 engine of the F-35 develops a thrust of about 40,000 kilos.
In keeping with Standard Mechanics, it’s too early to say whether or not the Checkmate might outstrip the F-35.
“The F-35 is the equal of a Mercedes Benz, however there are many international locations that will be completely pleased to have a Hyundai,” the publication stated.
In different phrases, this can be a nice various for the international locations that can’t buy the F-35 Lightning II for budgetary or political causes. | aerospace |

Businesses would only be allowed to fly the drones during daylight hours and keep the drones withing eyesight of the operator or observers on the ground, however. In order to avoid dangerous collisions, they would also be required to stay below 500 feet in altitude, but the process of becoming eligible to fly a drone would be relatively easy. Operators would not need a regular pilot's license, and would essentially just need to pass a proficiency test and pay a few hundred dollars worth of fees.
The concept of drone traffic presents a whole new area requiring government regulation and presents us with a countless questions about how to control the responsible usage of drones. It's already difficult to police the skies now that people own hobby drones, especially since they may not show up on radar and are controlled by remote, compared to traditional automobile traffic where the law-breaker himself is physically in the car.
How good do you think FAA regulations will be at continuing to provide citizens with safety and privacy with the introduction of widespread commercial drone flight? Do the economic benefits outweigh the potential costs? All federal agencies would have to disclose information about their drone flights within the United States; should we still be worried about how information collected by drones could be used? Can you think of possible Constitutional/legal questions that could arise from this new field of regulations (e.g. commerce clause, questions of accountability, jurisdiction, privacy)? | aerospace |

The radar’s Differential GPS (DGPS) experienced difficulty tracking satellite broadcast of real-time GPS correctors (NAVCOM service) reliably and we have had to replace the problematic unit (FM4) with a brand new spare (FM5) which works well on the ground but has not been flight-tested. We flew a calibration flight over Rosamond corner reflector array on Monday with FM5 and continued to have trouble with reliable DGPS solution. There are a couple of hypotheses that we need to investigate with FM5 (and FM4), but in the interest of time, we have re-installed an older unit (FM3) that worked well on both AirMOSS and UAVSAR flights before, but its satellite mask is about to expire on June 1. With FM3, we will be able to complete the May campaigns.

Recently, two-time Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety visited Hill Air Force Base, Utah where he flew in an F-16 fighter aircraft.
The morning was spent instructing Ted on the basics of what to do in emergency situations, getting a medical check out, and fitting him in a g-suit and helmet.
Flight Medical Clearance and Physiology Training
The G-suit helps pilots combat the effects of the g-forces they are subjected to during high-speed maneuvering in the F-16. The F-16 is capable of pulling nine Gs, so the pilot's body weighs nine times its normal weight under those forces.
Ted was visiting the Wing to not only get a flight in an F-16 fighter aircraft, but to bring attention to the Wing's mission, training, and the advanced capabilities of its fleet of fighters jets.
F-16 Block 40
Here he is all suited up and ready to go.

During the hour long flight Ted was able to experience high Gs, perform aerobatic maneuvers, and go supersonic.
End to a Great Day
Thanks to all the men and women of the 466 Fighter Squadron, 419 Fighter Wing, 388 Fighter Wing, and Team Hill for making this great day possible.
As a World Champion, Ted Ligety lives a lifestyle of 24/7 dedication to his sport and understands the value of service, teamwork, and commitment. The members of the 419th live by the same ideals in the service of their country, and they were happy and proud to host such a champion as Ted Ligety.

Perseverance is NASA's first true astrobiology mission and the rover will search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will not only explore Jezero Crater using new scientific instruments, cameras and microphones, but collect the first samples that will ever be returned from Mars to Earth by future planned missions.
The complicated route to the Mars Sample Return mission involves NASA collaborating with the European Space Agency and international partners. And given the difficulty of this multi-pronged return journey of the samples, they won't land on Earth until 2031, at the earliest.
"Perseverance is the first step in the first ever round trip mission to another planet in our solar system," said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, during a press conference. "Scientists have wanted a sample of Mars to study for generations. Now, we're at a point to begin to attempt this amazing feat."
Roving back in time
Unlike Earth, Mars doesn't have a "young surface" because it's not active in the same way our planet is with moving plate tectonics, volcanic eruptions and other things that tend to erase the history sitting on Earth's surface. So when Perseverance roves across Jezero Crater, it will be able to observe and sample the well-preserved past of Mars.
Scientists estimate that water filled the impact crater to form a lake about 3.8 billion years ago -- right when life was starting on Earth, according to Briony Horgan, member of the Perseverance science team and associate professor of planetary science at Purdue University. The lake was half the size of Lake Ontario (which is 53 miles wide and has an average depth of 283 feet) and almost as deep.
The river delta, which resembles the Mississippi River delta, once fed into the lake and signifies that the lake persisted for a long time. On the other side of the lake bed, a river channel can be seen where water carried away from the crater.
The delta may be the most intriguing area for Perseverance to explore because it preserves the bottom of the lake -- mud, organic materials, signs of ancient life and potentially even fossils of microbes could be preserved in the bottom of the delta, Horgan said.
Based on images provided by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which was launched in 2005, scientists already know there are interesting minerals around the rim of the crater called carbonates. On Earth, carbonates preserve the fossils of ancient life. These carbonates mark what scientists believe was once an ancient shoreline for the lake. When water precipitated here, it could have helped fossilize life or organic molecules signifying it in the form of carbonates.
First, Perseverance will explore the river delta, followed by the crater rim, and eventually, "drive out of the crater and | aerospace |

(AMZN) has been granted permission to test certain drones in its fleet, according to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration [FAA]. The FAA’s experimental airworthiness certificate however, does have restrictions. Amazon’s logistics unit will be allowed to use drones only for research, development and crew training on private, rural land in Washington state. All flight operations of unmanned aircraft must be conducted at 400 feet or below during the day in clear weather conditions, and must remain in the line-of-sight of their pilots. Additionally, Amazon is required to provide monthly data from its tests to the FAA. That information includes the number of test flights conducted, who operated the drones, and any communication or software/hardware malfunctions.
Amazon wants to develop the drone delivery system, which is designed to safely get packages into customers’ hands in 30 minutes or less, and offer it to Amazon Prime members. The Seattle, Washington-based e-commerce giant has previously tested the drone prototype outside the U.S. It first announced the project 15 months ago.

The geolocation accuracy of meteorological satellites is a key factor in remote-sensing applications. The microwave radiation imager (MWRI) onboard the FengYun (FY)-3B satellite provides measurements of the Earth's atmosphere and surface at 10.65 GHz, 18.7 GHz, 23.8 GHz, 36.5 GHz, and 89.0 GHz with dual polarization. Although FY-3 MWRI data have been widely distributed to the user community, their geolocation accuracy must be corrected to render the MWRI data useful for quantitative remote sensing. To improve the geolocation accuracy of FY-3B MWRI measurements, a method based on the brightness temperature difference between the ascending and descending orbits is used in the conical scanning MWRI at the 89 GHz channel and called Node Differential Method (NDM).
The core principle of the geolocation error correction algorithm is minimizing the number of pixels along the coastlines, where the node difference in brightness temperature is greater than the threshold (20 K) and the distance from the coastlines near the Mediterranean Sea is less than 100 km. In this study, a satellite attitude model (satellite coordinate system) is established based on the vectors of the satellite position and velocity to estimate the satellite attitude angles, and a nonlinear optimization algorithm is used to minimize the objective function. This algorithm can avoid the effect of the tuning order of pitch, roll, and yaw in the traditional method. The satellite attitude offset (i.e., pitch, roll, and yaw) can be derived and further utilized to adjust the satellite attitude. After the satellite attitude angle correction, the geolocation errors in the MWRI at the89 GHz channel are corrected.
Results show that the FY-3B MWRI at the 89 GHz channel has the mean offset of the satellite attitude, with the pitch, roll, and yaw angles from January to September of 2015 being –0.220°, 0.068°, and 0.062°, respectively. The mean geolocation error in the along-track direction is approximately 3-4 km, and that in the cross-track direction is less than 1 km at 89 GHz. The geolocation errors are stable during this period. They exist in the Mediterranean Sea, Australia, Red Sea, and Southeast of South America in the MWRI L1 data. The geolocation errors are detected from the high absolute values of brightness temperature difference between the ascending and descending orbits near the coastal regions and from the maps of brightness temperature compared with the coastlines.
After geolocation error correction, the MWRI geolocation accuracy is improved at the 89 GHz channel. In this study, the geolocation error correction algorithm is applied to the selected coastal regions from the middle and high latitudes of the north and south hemispheres of Earth. This algorithm can be extended to global measurement correction. The attitudes normally explain the status and stability of the satellite. Although the geolocation error can be corrected by adjusting satellite attitude offset, other factors, such as sensor mounting, uncertainty in the ephemeris data, or timing error, must be considered in future studies to improve geolocation accuracy. | aerospace |

Named Phoenix, the JPL-managed spacecraft will travel nearly a year to the Red Planet to investigate firsthand the water ice spotted from above by the Mars Odyssey orbiter in 2002.
“The real question we are trying to answer is, has that ice melted?” said Peter Smith, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson and the mission’s principle investigator. “Melted ice, in other words water, in contact with soil, may provide us with a habitable environment.
“The No. 1 NASA goal is searching for life outside the Earth, but inside this solar system,” he said at a news conference from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. “This is a step in that direction.”
Phoenix will mark the second attempt for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to reach Mars’ frozen polar regions. In 1998, the Mars Polar Lander disappeared during landing.
For this mission, NASA is using the rehabilitated body of the 2001 Mars Surveyor Lander, a mission canceled in the wake of the Polar Lander’s failure.
Once it lands, Phoenix will stay in place (it has no wheels), scooping up dirt and ice with its robotic arm to test for soil chemistry and signs of organic molecules. It will also survey the atmosphere from the meteorological station on board.
The initial Phoenix mission will be three months long, and cannot last much longer.
“Unlike the rovers, it will not survive three years,” Meyer said. “Once winter approaches we will be immersed in solid carbon dioxide ice.
Joel Tumbiolo, the U.S. Air Force Delta II launch weather officer, said conditions in Florida appeared to be clearing up for the pre-dawn launch on Saturday.
“My forecast is very good,” he said. “I’m only forecasting a
25 percent chance of no-go for weather, and that’s probably as good as you’re going to see us put out at this time of year.”

[Meaning the MH17 flight could not have been shot down by the BUK missile system that arrived from Russia just before the tragedy and returned to Russia right after the tragedy, as the JIT investigation shows.] “The missile with the side number 886847379 designed for the Buk air defense missile system was transported by rail to military unit 20152 on December 29, 1986. The actual name of this military unit is the 223rd Air Defense Missile Brigade of the Carpathian Military District, stationed in the Ternopil region. After the Soviet Union’s breakup, it was not transferred outside Ukraine”, said Parshin.
Downing of Russian Il-20 in Syria was absolutely an act of aggression against Syria orchestrated by the USA. — The incident was a US-orchestrated provocation.

According to Israel Defense Forces, the Russian plane was shot down by the Syrian air defenses who pulled the trigger and launched and SAS missile at the Ilyushin Il-20. "By the time Syrian anti-aircraft missiles had been launched (when the accident took place), Israeli warplanes responsible for the overnight operation were already back within Israeli airspace". Moreover, Russian president Vladimir Putin himself has declared that it looks "most likely in this case that it was a chain of tragic chance events, because an Israeli aircraft did not shoot down our aircraft". | aerospace |

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL – A Soyuz trio including veteran NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy returned safely to Earth after living and working in Earth’s orbit for 196 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS) making a soft touchdown in Kazakhstan late Wednesday.
The Russian American trio of spaceflyers comprising Expedition 63 cosmonauts Ivan Vagner and Anatoly Ivanishin of the Russian space agency Roscosmos and NASA’s Cassidy boarded their Soyuz MS-16 spacecraft after a farewell ceremony with the recently arrived trio of Expedition 64, closed the hatches and departed the ISS at 7:32 p.m. EDT Wednesday Oct. 21, and landed just south of the town of Dzhezkazgan, Kazakhstan, three and a half hours later at 10:54 p.m. EDT (8:54 a.m. Kazakhstan time).
“Touchdown!!! The Exp 63 crew, with @Astro_SEAL, @ivan_mks63 and Anatoly Ivanishin, has returned to Earth landing safely in Kazakhstan at 10:54pm ET,” NASA tweeted.

Three time NASA astronaut Cassidy boarded a NASA plane back to Houston, while Vagner and Ivanishin will flew home to Star City, Russia.
When Cassidy, Ivanishin, and Vagner departed the space station Expedition 64 officially began on station, with Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov serving as station commander and NASA’s Kate Rubins and Roscosmos’ Sergey Kud-Sverchkov serving as flight engineers.
Expeditions 63 and 64 spent a joint stay together for 1 week.
Rubins’ made history during her first spaceflight in 2016 when she became the first person to sequence DNA in space.
Ryzhikov becomes ISS commander now with the start of Expedition 64 with a reduced crew of three for a few weeks.
The resident station crew will rise again to a first time crew enlarged of seven sometime as soon as mid-November following the launch of the NASA contracted SpaceX Crew-1 Crew Dragon mission on a Falcon 9 rocket carrying an international crew of four to the ISS from the Kennedy Space Center.
Further details from NASA:
During this latest mission, Cassidy served as commander of Expedition 63 and welcomed SpaceX Demo-2 crew members Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley of NASA – the first astronauts to launch to the space station on an American spacecraft from American soil since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011.
Cassidy and Behnken completed four spacewalks, totaling 23 hours and 37 minutes, to upgrade station batteries. The final spacewalk was the 10th for both astronauts, making them two of only four only U.S. astronauts to complete 10 spacewalks. Cassidy now has spent a total of 378 days in space, the fifth highest among U.S. astronauts.
While on station, he contributed to hundreds of experiments, including a study of the influence of gravity on electrolytic gas evolution, which looks at bubbles created using electrolysis. Gravity is a key factor in creating buoyancy for bubbles, so microgravity makes it possible to single out bubble growth and study its effect in processes. Using this method to better understand how bubbles grow could improve devices like medicine delivery through small, bandage-like skin patches.
Cassidy also worked with Astrobee, cube-shaped, free-flying robots that may one day assist astronauts with routine duties, and conducted research for the Onco-Selectors experiment, which leverages microgravity to identify targeted cancer therapies.
When Cassidy, Ivanishin, and Vagner departed the space station, Expedition 64 officially began on station, with Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Ryzhikov serving as station commander and NASA’s Kate Rubins and Roscosmos’ Sergey Kud-Sverchkov serving as flight engineers.
In November, the Expedition 64 crew is scheduled to welcome NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 – NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi. Crew-1 will be the first long-duration mission to fly as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and mark the return of America’s capability to regularly launch astronauts from U.S. soil.

Rolling out on top of 28 large wheels and with a 11,735-cm wingspan, the Stratolaunch is the world’s largest airplane. With a total length of 15.24 meter, it requires six of the engines used by the Boeing 747s to lift off.
While the Stratolaunch has the widest wingspan, the longest jet remains the six-engine Antonov An-225.
The Soviet-made Antonov An-225 stands 84-meter long from front to rear, originally designed to carry space shuttles closer to lower Earth orbit.
The twin-fuselage (two bodies) airplane is the brainchild of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who hopes that it will be used to lift rockets carrying satellites closer to space.
The company announced that the aerial beast has left its nest to start fueling tests at the Mojave Air and Space Port in California, the first of many tests in the coming months.
Stratolaunch CEO, Jean Floyd, said that they hope to have the big bird up in the sky as early as 2019. | aerospace |

The US Space Agency intends to resume its piloted flights to the International Space Station (ISS) in the first half of 2020, world agencies reported.
They cite a statement by NASA Chief James Bridenstein during a visit to a U.S. space company in Hawthorne, California.
"We are getting very close, and we're very confident that, in the first part of next year, we will be ready to launch American astronauts on American rockets," Bridenstine said. He stressed that the space agency's priority was "launching American astronauts on American ships from American land."
The NASA chief plans to ship the equipment to the Cape Canaveral Space Station in Florida in the coming months.
NASA discontinued its own manned flights in 2011 after the completion of the space shuttle program. Since then, American astronauts have traveled to the International Space Station with Russian Soyuz spacecraft. NASA's Roscosmos contract expires in 2019.
Currently, two private companies in the US - SpaceX and Boeing s are developing two spacecraft in the US - the Crew Dragon and CST-100 Starliner respectively.

Virgin Atlantic is a major British success story. From our first leased jumbo to the UK’s second largest long haul airline, we’ve come a long way, and there’s still much more to do!
Back in the early 80s Richard Branson was probably best known for Virgin Records – the legendary record label that signed major names like the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson and The Human League. In 1984, much to the horror of his directors, Richard announced to the world that a high quality, value for money airline would begin operating within three months. Three months, some licences, staff and an aircraft packed with celebrities later, Virgin Atlantic Airways was born. By the end of the decade we had flown over 1 million passengers and started shaking up services onboard by being the first airline to offer individual TVs to their business class passengers…
In 2003 came the launch of Virgin Atlantic’s revolutionary Upper Class Suite, the longest and most comfortable flat bed and seat in business class.
The new Virgin Clubhouse at Heathrow opened in March 2006. Amongst the many unique features of the flagship lounge are a cocktail bar, a hair salon, a Cowshed spa, a brasserie and a games room.
In 2007 came the launch of Virgin Atlantic’s brand new check in facilities at Heathrow Terminal Three. For Economy and Premium Economy passengers Zone A is now wider, brighter and more spacious, enabling passengers to check-in at kiosks in a faster and more stress-free way. For Upper Class passengers, came the Upper Class Wing, which offers a private security corridor so passengers can speed through the terminal to the Clubhouse quicker than ever before.
In 2008 we operated a pioneering biofuel demonstration with Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aviation on a 747 between London and Amsterdam. This was the world’s first flight using biofuel by a commercial airline. Virgin Atlantic has also ordered 15 of the 787-9 Dreamliners which burn around 27% less fuel per passenger than the A340-300, the aircraft it will replace in the Virgin Atlantic fleet. | aerospace |

The RFDS has released a statement saying the pilot had been dismissed following a "recent incident" on a King Air B200 on November 5.
RFDS chief executive Nino Di Marco told Fairfax Media the pilot had been flying two patients between Bundaberg and Brisbane when he lost contact with air traffic control for 13 minutes.
Once he landed he was given a drug and alcohol test and tested positive for a substance which is banned by the RFDS.
Mr Di Marco noted the plane and its passengers had landed safely.
“Patient welfare and employee safety are always of paramount importance,” he said.
“A full investigation including an internal review of the incident is currently under way."
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau have been notified.
Mr Di Marco said support was being provided to the other people who were on the plane when the "incident" took place.
He emphasised it was the only incident of this nature in the organisation’s 84-year history and expressed total confidence in the integrity and professionalism of the rest of the team of RFDS pilots.
“The RFDS takes its impeccable safety record very seriously and last year safely transported more than 11,000 patients across Queensland,” he said.
The RFDS are planning to consult with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to review whether their random alcohol and drug testing program is effective enough.

Developed economies are seeking to maintain dominance in new radar technological developments and, as new radar development will normally take between five and 10 years to reach production and deployment stage, countries are willing to inject large sums into radar development. Meanwhile, the surge in ability and willingness of developing and high-growth markets to acquire more advanced systems in recent years shows no sign of abating. Visiongain’s calculations indicate that the global military radar market is set to reach $9.16bn in 2011. http://www.bharatbook.com/market-research-reports/defense-market-research-report/the-military-radar-systems-market-2011-2021.html
The global military radar systems market is expected to be resilient in the face of sharp budget cuts over the next decade. The market is also currently in the throes of technological advances that will ensure strong growth in the coming years. In spite of declining defence spending in the US, Europe and other developed economies, radar systems have been identified by governments as an investment priority, as developments in active electronically scanned array (AESA) and multi-mission capabilities require procurement agencies to maintain the relevance of ground-based, airborne and naval military assets. The self-evident utility of radars in their intelligence gathering and protective capabilities mean that governments are unlikely to jettison plans to acquire or at least upgrade these critical systems. Moreover, the drive towards standardisation and modularisation of systems is likely to offer considerable opportunities for companies that can supply such solutions. industry analysis reports
Visiongain sees the military radar systems market as including four sub-sectors: naval, airborne, ground-based and space-based systems. This report will discuss the various technologies involved in each and provide quantitative and qualitative analysis for these sub-sectors. Moreover, this report will summarise developments and provide year-on-year forecasts for the 10 largest markets for radar equipment: the US, the UK, France, Russia, Israel, Italy, Germany, Australia, China and India.

According to Minister of State in the PMO, Jitendra Singh’s testimony before Parliament, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is currently conducting research to determine the feasibility of and technologies needed for active debris removal (ADR).
According to NASA’s Orbital Debris Quarterly News, which was released back in March of that year, there are currently at least 103 operational and defunct satellites and 114 debris items orbiting the earth, according to NASA’s Orbital Debris Quarterly News. As a result, the country has 217 space objects orbiting the Earth.
According to Singh, the Space Debris Research Community’s Active Debris Removal (ADR) was one of the active methods to limit the growth of space debris.
There are a lot of policy and legal issues to consider when it comes to ADR. Several countries, including India, have begun conducting technology demonstrations. As he put it, “studies are underway to finalise the necessary technologies” in order to demonstrate ADR. As part of ISRO’s efforts to reduce space debris, a senior official told a technology conclave last year that the space agency was developing futuristic technologies like self-eating rockets and disappearing satellites.
Space Debris Quarterly News reports that the US has 4,144 active and defunct satellites and 5,126 objects that can be categorised as space debris. 517 active and defunct spacecraft are in orbit around the Earth, as well as 3,854 objects, including spent rocket bodies. According to Singh, the Directorate Space Situational Awareness and Management has been established at ISRO’s headquarters to deal with issues relating to space debris, he added.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has established a Space Situational Awareness Control Center in Bengaluru to coordinate all space debris-related activities within ISRO and to protect operational space assets from collision threats, he said. The minister went on to say that ISRO intends to develop its own tracking and cataloguing systems for space debris.

Farsoon Technologies, a leading China-based developer of AM systems, took the opportunity to introduce a range of new 3D printing systems. Earlier this week, we covered the launch of its new Flight 252P polymer 3D printer series and now the company has unveiled a new large-frame metal AM system, the FS621M.
The large-frame metal AM system was developed by Farsoon in cooperation with Falcontech, a manufacturing service provider in the aerospace sector. In the printer’s development, both companies were focused on a few key elements, namely, an extended build cylinder volume and maximum productivity per laser. The FS621M has one of the largest build volumes of metal laser sintering systems on the market: 620 x 620 mm with a vertical axis of 1.1 meters. At this scale, Farsoon says new metal AM applications will open up in aerospace, as well as in oil and gas and other industries.
The new system comes with a few options: users can opt for a powerful single 1000W laser or for four 500W lasers, which unlock faster production rates. The system is also equipped with a dynamic 3-axis scanning system, advanced build process controls and real-time recoating monitoring. Like all of Farsoon’s 3D printing systems, the FS621M is based on an open platform, enabling users to develop materials and tailor process parameters.
The FS621M also features an integrated filter module with a secondary circulating system and a dual-station filter design. This system allows for filters to be exchanged without interrupting the printing process. The printers also share a common powder container design for the powder handling process, which is used during loading, unloading and sieving. These containers are fully-sealed and facilitate transportation between the various stations, as well as safe storage for metal powders. Farsoon says: “This partially closed powder system allows for the capability of continuous feeding of powder to the build while retaining the ability to easily exchange and monitor powder quality.”
Falcontech Super AM Factory
Farsoon’s new FS621M system will be an integral part of Falcontech’s Super AM Factory, which aims to be operating a total of 50 Farsoon printers for scaled production of parts. Falcontech revealed its plans for the Super AM Factory recently, stating its intention to buy and install 20 Farsoon metal printers by the end of the year. The new large-format system jointly developed by the companies will give Falcontech an edge for aerospace applications that require scale.
According to Farsoon, seven FS621M systems have been installed among aerospace and large-scale manufacturing customers that are focusing on large-volume fabrication, batch production and the development of industrial powder materials such as titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, nickel-based superalloys and stainless steels. | aerospace |

There are, however, some shortcomings in the satellite remote sensing industry, such as costs associated with a satellite launch, and the difficulties associated with its integration with several platforms.
The remote sensing satellite market is segmented based on system, application, end-user, and regions.
Based on the system, the market has been segmented into SATCOM, radar, EO/IR, and others. Among these, the SATCOM is widely used and comprises of most significant market share due to the growing need for earth observation satellites.
The application-based segment comprises meteorology, earth observation, mapping and navigation, telecommunication, and others.
Based on end-user, the market has been bifurcated into defense and commercial. Of such, during the projected period, the commercial is expected to rise to the fastest CAGR. The rising utility of remote sensing satellites for agricultural applications could fuel the need for remote sensing satellites across the globe.
Remote Sensing Satellite Market , based on region, is analyzed in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
Owing to ongoing advancements in the use of modern technologies, signal processing techniques and functional terminals the European region is expected to dominate the market in the future. The European satellite industry is seeing ongoing developments in the use of new wavelengths, methods for signal processing, and powerful terminals. It has provided the world more opportunities for the use of remote sensing satellites. Significant investments in numerous military and commercial satellite systems by countries such as France, Germany, Russia, Israel, and the UK would also lead to the expansion of the European economy.
Nonetheless, due to the high demand for remote sensing services in various applications, such as precision farming, 3D terrain model building, damage evaluation, pipeline tracking, geohazard modeling, resource extraction, and security and intelligence, the Asia Pacific area market is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR.
Thanks to growing investments in numerous military and commercial satellite projects, North America is second to the European market in demand for remote sensing satellites. The North American industry is powered primarily by a growing need for remote sensing services in diverse industries such as Oil & Gas, mineral exploration, energy, and power, which helps in the growth of the global remote sensing satellite market.
The major players in the global Remote Sensing Satellite market are Ball Corporation (US), Airbus SAS (France), Boeing (US), Thales Group (France), Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (US), China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (China), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Tokyo), Lockheed Martin Corporation (US), Orbital ATK Inc.

The Raider is the primary attack craft used by the Cylons and is a completely new design compared to the original Raider used during the first Cylon war and is improved in virtually every way. The fighter is faster and more maneuverable when compared to the original model. In many ways, the fighter can be considered the equivalent of the Colonial Viper Mark VII. Unlike the Colonial capital ships, which carry heavy anti-ship weaponry, the Cylon Basestars rely far more on fighters and Raiders are carried in much larger numbers.
One of the most striking differences between the original model and the new model is that the new model appears to lack a cockpit and instead the front of the fighter is a large eye slit with a red light going across. As well, the fighter is in a crescent shape with forward leading wing. Like the original model, the new Raider is designed for operations in an atmosphere. While the fighter is extremely maneuverable in an atmosphere due to its wing configuration, the Viper is faster in normal operations in an atmosphere.
Originally it was thought that the fighter was controlled by an advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) but after a pilot from the Battlestar Galactica was able to capture one of the fighters, it was discovered that the fighter is actually bio-mechanical in nature with a biological brain. The brain of the fighter is of limited intelligence, similar to a trained dog, but is capable of learning. Like the humanoid Cylons, when a Raider is destroyed and the brain inside is killed, the consciousness can be transferred to a new body provided that there is a base or Resurrection Ship close enough. This allows the brain to learn through multiple times having been killed.
One of the most advanced features of the fighter is that even though it is fairly small, it mounts an advanced jump drive which allows it to travel interstellar distances. The smallest Colonial ship to mount a jump drive is a Raptor, which is around fifty tons. Range on the fighter’s ability to jump is actually far greater than it is for a Colonial capital ship and the fighter can make multiple short range jumps during just a few minutes. A common tactic for the Raider is to jump into a target area, launch a bunch of missiles, and then jump back out again. While the fighter is extremely maneuverable, its acceleration is only about equal to the Colonial Mark II Viper
During the original Cylon war, the Cylons had the ability to take over wireless networks and the Viper Mark II was designed with multiple independent systems to prevent this from occurring. The Viper Mark VII was designed with integrated flight systems to give superior handling. Through the corrupted Command Navigation Program (CNP), the Cylons were able to shut down Colonial craft including the Viper Mark VII. In general, all of the electronic systems onboard the Raider are more advanced than their Colonial equivalent.
Like the Colonial Viper, the Raider mounts Kinetic Energy Weapons for close in fighting. There are a pair and they are mounted under the leading edge of the fighter’s wings. In addition, the fighter has a pair of missile bays under the wings. The fighter can carry both conventional and nuclear weaponry. Each bay can carry a pair of anti-ship nuclear weapons (effectively cruise missiles), four long range missiles, or eight medium range missiles. Carrying medium range missiles, the fighters can fire impressive volleys of missiles. Generally, Cylon designs rely more on missiles that Colonial designs.
This starfighter follows theoretical information about starships operating non chemical propulsion in space. This has meant much greater speeds and accelerations. Listed is the formula to allow player and game masters to calculate the fighter’s velocity.
- Velocity = Acceleration x Time + Initial Velocity
Distance Traveled = Acceleration x ½ x Time ² + Initial Velocity x Time
1 G = 32 feet (9.8 m) per second ²
Model Type: Cylon Raider
Vehicle Type: Starfighter
Crew: None (Controlled by an organic brain)
M.D.C. By Location:
| Kinetic Energy Weapons (2, Wings):||40 each|
|Missile Bay (2, Wings):||60 each|
| Wings (2):||90 each|
| Engines (2):||100 each|
|Landing Struts (3):||20 each|
| Main Body:||350|
|Brain Containment Chamber:||150|
These are small and difficult targets to strike, requiring the attacker to make a “called shot;” but even then the attacker is -4 to strike.
Loss of a wing while in an atmosphere will cause the fighter to loose control and crash. The loss of a wing in space has no effect on the fighter’s performance but fighter will be unable to re-enter an atmosphere safely. Of course, even in space, the loss of a wing means the loss of the weaponry on that wing.
Loss of an engine will reduce performance of fighter by one half, loss of both engines from accelerate or decelerate beyond 5% of normal (This is using maneuvering thrusters) and fighter will crash in an atmosphere. Maneuvering thrusters are effectively too small as hit locations to be targeted.
Depleting the M.D.C. of the main body will put the fighter out of commission. All internal systems will shut down, including life support and internal gravity. The ship itself will be an unsalvageable floating wreck. In an atmosphere, the fighter will crash.
Driving on Ground: Not Possible
Flying; In atmosphere: The fighter can easily achieve escape velocity (Mach 32.6 / 25053 mph / 40320 kph) within around 3 minutes. The fighter has a maximum acceleration of 7.5 G. When the fighter is operating within an atmosphere, the "pilot" will normally keep velocity below Mach 6.5 (4,819.45 mph / 7,756.16 kph). It is a VSTOL design, it cannot be launched from a standstill, but needs a short runway (700 meters when fully loaded)
Flying; Space: The fighter does not have an effective top speed but is limited by acceleration. Fighter can reach a top acceleration of 7 G but is normally limited to 1 G except in combat to conserve fuel.
Stardrive: This fighter has a small jump drive which allows it to jump interstellar distances virtually instantly. While this drive requires extensive calculations and consumes fuel each time the ship "Jumps," the powerful computer allows for quick calculations for jumps. The system can also make short range jumps.
Maximum Effective Range: The fighter has enough fuel for 45 minutes at maximum performance of 7.5 G. If fighter is operating at less maximum performance, the fighter’s range is vastly increased. The fighter has 64 hours of endurance if operating at only 1 G and for every increase of 1 G, the fighter burns reaction mass twice as fast. Fighter uses Tylium (likely some hydrogen or helium isotope) for fuel for a fusion reactor. The fighter can operate with engines on standby to increase fighters range. The Raider carries enough fuel for up to twenty long range jumps.
Length: 29.33 feet (8.94 meters)
Height: 4.99 feet (1.52 meters)
Width: 18.35 feet (5.59 meters)
Weight: 22.60 tons (20,500 kilograms) unloaded
Power System: Nuclear Fusion with average life span of 20 years. Requires reaction mass for thrusters.
Market Cost: 20 million credits to build.
- Kinetic Energy Weapons (2): One is mounted under the leading
edge of each of the wings. Both mounts are forward firing. The weapons
are powerful but have only average ranges. The weapons are used for dogfighting,
anti-missile defense, and strafing runs. These electromagnetic weapons
fire high density projectiles at incredible velocities and are the main
weapons of the fighter.
Maximum Effective Range: 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) in an atmosphere and 32,000 feet (9,600 meters) in space.
Mega Damage: 4D4x10 for a ten round burst from both cannons. If one cannon is destroyed, damage is reduced to 2D4x10.
Rate of Fire: Equal to the combined hand to hand attacks of the "Brain" (usually 4 or 6).
Payload: 800 rounds (80 bursts) per weapon mount.
- Missile Bays (2): Under the wings of the fighter are a pair
of missile bay which each can carry eight medium range missiles, four long
range missiles, or two heavy anti-ship nuclear missiles (equal to a cruise
missile) in place of the smaller missiles. Missiles cannot be mixed and
matched and all must be of the same type. Missile are assumed to accelerate
at 2 times normal mach speed in Gs greater than the starships speed when
used in space. Missiles can be launched at non moving targets beyond the
powered range of the missiles to hit targets without the chance of the
launching ship being hit by missiles itself but penalties exist when launching
missiles beyond normal missile range. Note: Cylon Smart Missiles
have +20% bonus against Colonial countermeasures but are otherwise treated
as normal Smart Missiles.
Maximum Effective Range: Varies with missile types, assume powered range is 8 x normal in space (Use new missile/bomb tables).
Mega Damage: Varies with missile types (Use new missile/bomb tables).
Rate of Fire: One at a time or in volleys of 2, 4, or 8.
Payload: Eight (8) medium range missiles, four (4) long range missiles, or two (2) cruise missiles (normally nuclear) per bay
The fighter has all the standard features of a standard Rifts Earth fighter (Not Phase World / Three Galaxies) plus these special features listed:
- Sentient Computer / Organic Brain: The fighter does not require a pilot but instead have a computer which is a mixture of electronic and organic systems.

For Immediate Release: Oct. 8, 2007
TELL-TALE CLUES TO A 335-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY SPOTTED IN CASSINI IMAGES
The appearance of two-toned Iapetus has been deeply mystifying ever since the moon was first discovered by Jean-Dominique Cassini in the late seventeenth century.
Now, high-resolution images of Iapetus recently acquired by the spacecraft named after the Italian/French astronomer during its low pass over the moon last month have uncovered telling details on the moon's surface that may well yield the reason for its strange bright and dark patterns.
The images show that on the moon's bright trailing hemisphere, especially in the equatorial regions, dark material tends to coat the equator-facing slopes of ridges and crater walls and also many crater floors. This finding strongly suggests the warming action of the Sun in removing bright ice from these sunward-facing surfaces and leaving behind the native dark material that is normally mixed with the ice. Subsequent downslope motion is very likely responsible for collecting much of the dark material in the floors of craters and other low lying regions.
"This is somewhat reminiscent of the vineyards in Germany," said Tilmann Denk, imaging team associate at the Free University in Berlin, Germany and an expert on Iapetus. "The grapes get more sunlight when the vine is planted on a south-facing slope. The same mechanism works on Iapetus: the equator-facing slopes get more sunlight, and the bright ice there evaporates, leaving behind the darker stuff."
In this particular characteristic, Iapetus is similar to another moon in the Saturn system with large surface contrasts, Hyperion. "The craters on Hyperion have dark floors, probably for a similar reason, but with a twist," said Paul Helfenstein, an imaging team associate at Cornell University and an icy satellite expert. "Sunlight also warms the surface, but on Hyperion, the terrain is so rugged that it is believed all dark material moves downward to collect on crater floors."
The fact that this process of thermal segregation is so clearly operating on the bright face of Iapetus lends confidence to the two-part suggestion--the first half of which was made by scientists thirty years ago and the second half made more recently by Cassini scientists--that the infall of a thin coating of dark material onto Iapetus' leading side long ago initiated a runaway version of thermal segregation there. With a coating of dark material scooped up by the moon in its orbit around Saturn, all surfaces on the entire leading hemisphere except at high latitudes, regardless of the direction to the sun, became warm enough to evaporate the ice beneath. Once warmed, evaporation proceeded even more quickly until all the surface ice was gone.
The result: a layer of dark material, consisting of both foreign and native material, coating most of leading hemisphere. The differing colors of the leading and trailing hemispheres on Iapetus observed in Cassini images indicate slight differences in composition, as would be expected if the leading side also had mixed in with it material that derived from elsewhere in the Saturn system. The origin of this foreign material remains a mystery, but potential candidates are the small moons at large distances from Saturn or a previously existing outer moon that was broken apart long ago.
Observations of very small bright craters seen for the first time in the recent Cassini images, point to impactors that punched through the dark upper layer to the bright ice beneath and reveal the layer's thickness at no more than a few meters.
In addition to the new revelations about the moon's brightness asymmetry, the recent Cassini images revealed that the tall equatorial ridge bisecting Iapetus' leading side appears to be a competent structure, and most likely tectonic in origin. They also showed, for the first time, giant impact basins on the trailing hemisphere. Enormous basins had previously been observed by Cassini on the leading side, but the new images confirm that the cratering record is similar across the entire surface and that the surface is very old.
Surveying the surface of Iapetus, and determining the origin of the moon's peculiar asymmetry in brightness were two of the key science objectives for this international mission--two that can now be essentially checked off as "done."
"While there are many details yet to be worked out, we think we now understand the essence of why Iapetus looks the way it does," said Carolyn Porco, the leader of the imaging team. "And this discovery too will go down as a major legacy of Cassini's historic exploration of Saturn."
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the Cassini-Huygens mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging team consists of scientists from the U.S., England, France, and Germany. The imaging operations center and team leader (Dr. C. Porco) are based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo. | aerospace |

Earlier this month, Ehang took to the air with its Autonomous Aerial Vehicle for the first flight in the US. It is a rechargeable two-seater AAV 216 model having 16 independent rotors spread across eight arms. This pilotless air taxi keeps a large panoramic windscreen, two doors and simple but comfortable interior. Passengers can select their destination from available options displayed on the 12-inch control panel to the front.
After 120 minutes charging, it is capable of a top speed of 130 km/h (80 mph) and can fly continuously for 21 minutes at around 100 km/h. AAV 216 is designed to fly up to 3,000 meters (around 9,840 ft) above sea level and can bear a total live load of 220 kg/485 lb).
The auto flight control system features is capable to get data from a magnetic compass, GNSS receivers, accelerometers, gyroscopes, , barometers, visual sensors, , millimeter wave radars to use this information to make “intelligent navigation decisions. Other systems include communications with ground based command center and battery management to ensure a safe journey.
No passenger AAVS for smart city management such as traffic control, environment monitoring and for media applications are also being manufactured by the same company.
After a successful technology demonstrated, US based flight test at the beginning of this year, Ehang is now looking forward for FAA approval to start operational flights in the near future.
For testing, training and display Ehang has delivered nearly 40 air taxis to customers and got 50 orders to deliver. Now Ehang is trying to get regulatory approval for operations in China and Europe. | aerospace |

Instead of being equipped with mechanical gauges and indicators, they are equipped with computer screens. The screens integrate and display all sorts of useful flight information. The information displayed may include satellite weather, synthetic vision, infrared vision, terrain awareness information, traffic
information, and moving maps. Glass cockpits are supposed to help improve the pilot’s "situational awareness."
Not surprisingly, glass cockpits have been marketed as a safety advantage. From the website of one manufacturer, Cirrus Aircraft:
We included new safety features to reduce your work load and anxiety by giving you more time to think and improving flight environment manageability. Ultimately, with [our glass cockpit] you get a smoother, more precise flying experience while all the time knowing you are flying smarter, flying safer.
The NTSB agrees that glass cockpits have the potential to improve safety. But to the surprise of many, the NTSB has now found that, to date, they have not. To the contrary, aircraft equipped with glass cockpits have a higher than fatal accident rate than comparable aircraft equipped with the old-fashioned, hard-to-decipher mechanical gauges.
Study analyses of aircraft accident and activity data showed a decrease in total accident rates but an increase in fatal accident rates for the selected group of glass cockpit aircraft when compared to similar conventionally equipped aircraft during the study period. Overall, study analyses did not show a significant improvement in safety for the glass cockpit study group.
How can this be? More information, presented to the pilot in an easy-to-understand fashion, is supposed to be a good thing. The NTSB’s findings have left many scratching their heads.
I’ve written before that the poor safety record may simply be the result of "Risk Homeostasis" at work. Risk Homeostasis theory suggests that, when given the opportunity, pilots will use a safety feature to enhance the aircraft’s utility rather than enjoy the increased level of safety the feature could provide. In other words, pilots use the the glass cockpits to fly into conditions that they would otherwise avoid. And, instead of painstakingly preparing for the flight before they depart, they prepare "on the fly" (so to speak), relying on the glass cockpit to tell them what they need to know.
A feature – whether it is a glass cockpit or an airframe parachute – can serve as a safety feature or one that enhances an aircraft’s utility. It can’t do both.

Helicopters are used to survey powerlines between February and July each year as part of our annual bushfire safety preparations. These aerial patrols help prevent bushfires by identifying where we need to repair equipment or prune trees a safe distance from powerlines before the official start of the bushfire season.
Why we use helicopters
The Endeavour Energy network includes 13,000 kilometres of powerlines spread often across rugged terrain. Helicopters are a safe and efficient way to survey powerlines and inspect otherwise inaccessible areas. The bird’s-eye view from the air permits a better inspection of equipment on the top of poles that is otherwise not visible from the ground. Watch our video below to see why helicopter patrols are important.
What you will see
Helicopters are identified with signage that says “Power Line Patrol” and “Endeavour Energy Contractor”. We conduct the surveys using light detection and ranging technology which provides a more thorough inspection that produces detailed data that can be thoroughly analysed afterwards.
During patrols, we are mindful of protecting people’s privacy and limit data capture to images of the network. Using the data captured, we can dentify where defects exist and coordinate maintenance crews to complete repairs. Where data cannot be taken from the air, ground crews will be utilised to capture this information.
Endeavour Energy will inspect all powerlines up to each customer's main switchboard. Property owners, are responsible for the safely and maintenance of the private poles, wire and other electrical infrastructure and will be notified should defects be found during this inspection program.
The map and schedule below shows when bushfire aerial patrols are planned in your area. As the use of helicopters is dependent on weather conditions, please note this schedule is subject to revision without notice and the aircraft may need to return to an area with limited notice.
This schedule is subject to revision without notice as the use of helicopters is dependent on weather conditions. There may be a requirement for the aircraft to return to an area with limited notice to conduct additional flights.
Aircraft will be utilised in all areas where more favourable weather condition may exist between February and July.

The German specialty chemicals group has developed high-performance, lightweight construction plastics that are suitable for the construction of drones, allowing considerable extension of flight time.6 Sep 2018 Barbara Rusch
Drones are booming and increasing demands are thus being placed on the devices. Lightweight construction, which reduces power consumption, could be one of the ways to extend flight times. The Cologne-based LANXESS Group has developed s pecial plastics for this purpose. They have good rigidity and strength along with a comparatively low weight. They apparently also reduce the vibrations and noise generated as well as the interference of metal materials with radio signals.
According to estimates by German Air Navigation Services (DFS), about 600,000 drones were sold in Germany in 2017, and the trend is rising; that's why DFS has already developed a safe drone flight app . According to the Gartner market research institute, almost three million drones were sold worldwide last year. The unmanned aircraft are used for a wide range of purposes, including security, agriculture, transport and of course leisure time. Statista forecasts global sales of $2.4 billion in 2020 for commercial drones alone.

On July 28, 30 foreign experts visited Moscow Aviation Institute as part of the Green Flight seminar under the "New Generation" program. Young scientists from Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, India, China, Malaysia, Tajikistan and South Africa learnt about the scientific programs and discussed the future of eco-friendly air transport.
The guests made a tour around MAI territory. In particular, the foreigners saw the aviation hangar of the Department No. 101 "Design and certification of aviation equipment". It exhibits Su-27, Yak-38, MiG-23 and other aircraft.
The tour ended with an inspection of the exposition of the Almaz orbital station. The station itself is a space observation and reconnaissance station with a length of 11.6 meters and a mass of 18.9 tons. It was designed for a crew of two or three people with a working time in orbit of up to 410 days.
Now it is an educational and practical laboratory where students can study the anatomy of space orbital stations of previous generations. There is also a space lecture hall of MAI, and interactive workshops for students are held here.

Down through the years with my unusual amount of engine failures, over 18, most pilots with total engine failures usually died. Also, how many 16 year old teenagers have thumbed and hopped the freight trains to see the states from coast to coast and border to border, starting with a twenty dollar bill? Not only is this an interesting, fun read, but it has some simple rules that help to keep pilots in general aviation alive, even the best. Before retiring from the airline, I met a flight instructor that had instructed at the same airport in Monroeville years before. He was an excellent pilot. He told me he was ferrying airplanes all over the world, even single engine aircraft. I was amazed that he would fly over the ocean to reach some of the countries with a single engine airplane. The last thing I asked him, "What will you do if the engine quits?" He just laughed. A few years later his picture was on the front page of a Pittsburgh newspaper. He was flying near the Canary Islands and his engine quit. They never found him. So, if you have any pilot friends, you may want to give them a copy of this book if only to read the chapter on, "Staying Alive." | aerospace |

The High School’s Robotics & Engineering Team has been invited as a finalist to present at the NASA HUNCH Final Design Review program in Houston, Texas on April 16, 2019. HUNCH stands for High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware.
This is the fourth time in the last five years that the program has been invited by NASA.
The Final Design Review program will give the students the opportunity to show NASA astronauts and engineers the progress they have made on their “Apples in Space” project.
This is a project Wapato High School students have now spent 5-years developing.
Their goal is to create a system that keeps fruit (apples) fresh for a longer period of time while in space, for example while aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Currently, when astronauts aboard the ISS receive a delivery of fresh fruit it needs to be eaten fairly quickly or it spoils because there is no long term storage system on the ISS.
Wapato High School students have been working the past 5-years to develop the hardware and a process that would provide that long term storage.
The adviser for the club, Christopher Beyrouty, said, "They (students) are trying to find a way to keep apples fresh in space longer without the use of refrigeration." He also mentioned how they are testing the apples, "We are trying it first here on earth to see if we can get apples to last longer without refrigeration using some of the techniques our industry currently uses, such as control atmosphere."
The other project students will present while in Houston is called the RAD Jacket. RAD stands for Radiation Absorption Device.
The students were challenged with designing a garment to hold radiation shielding materials being developed by Lockheed Martin.
The goal is to develop a jacket that will protect the vital organs of the astronauts from radiation but still allow for plenty of mobility. The RAD Jacket would provide the protection and mobility NASA is hoping for.
NASA considered about 300 projects from around the country for a Final Design Review.
The Wapato High School projects were among just 76 that received an invite. | aerospace |

It rises above the highest point along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.
Footage from the 10 News archives tells some of the story. It’s the tale of what was once the 649th Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron, an Air Force base on top of the mountain. It was home to as many as 200 troops at one time. During the Cold War, it was part of the nation’s early-warning system.
At one time, there were three of those “golf balls” on the side of the mountain, (see photo below) along with barracks and support systems for the small base.
“So the Air Force Base was really great to have this close to town,” said Jennifer Thomson with the Bedford Museum, who has gathered clippings about the facility over the years. “It was anything you would find at a military base, just smaller,” Thomson said.
The base, officially known as Bedford Air Force Station offered a two-lane bowling alley and other amenities to keep the men entertained, but accounts from those stationed there indicate it was boring atop the mountain, so they went to town whenever they could, much to the delight of local women, according to Thomson.
“The story is that if it wasn't for the Air Force base, a lot of the local women wouldn't be married today,” she said.
The public was fascinated with the technology, and 10 News archival footage shows tours being given – complete with a Coca-Cola stand. | aerospace |

The group shared a photo of the downed drone captured which is apparently a reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle used by the Afghan forces.
The Taliban said the drone was shot down and captured in Maiwand district of Kandahar province but the security officials have not commented regarding the claims of the Taliban so far.
The drone seems to be of ScanEagle type which was recently delivered to the Afghan forces this year.
The Afghan forces are expecting to receive up to 70 ScanEagle drones under a contract worth $70 million awarded by the US Department of Defense.
The US Department of Defense (MoD) said late in November last year that the systems include 65 ScanEagle drones in total, along with spare parts, support equipment, field service support, as well as an in-theatre training facility.
The delivery of the drones by US comes as the Afghan Air Force is in critical need of equipment to provide close-air support to the Afghan ground forces.
In the meantime the Afghan Air Force officials are optimistic with the recent delivery of the state-of-the art aircraft by its international allies.
The Afghan Air Force is currently operating A-29 Super Tucano fixed wing aircraft, MD-530F Cayuse helicopters as well as Mi-25 gunships which were delivered by India last year. -KP

The mission, dubbed Crew-7, is the sixth operational crew launch for NASA under the Commercial Crew Program and the first to include three international astronauts.
A Historic Launch for SpaceX and NASA
The launch of Crew-7 marks several milestones for SpaceX and NASA, as well as for the partner agencies ESA (European Space Agency), JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and Roscosmos (Russian Space Agency). This is the first time that a non-NASA astronaut, ESA’s Andreas Mogensen from Denmark, will pilot a Dragon spacecraft. It is also the first time that a Dragon capsule will dock with the ISS’s new Nauka module, which was launched by Roscosmos in July. Additionally, this is the third mission for the Endurance capsule, which previously flew on Demo-2 and Crew-2 missions, making it the most reused crewed spacecraft in history.
The four crew members of Crew-7 are:
- NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, the mission commander and a former helicopter and Marine Corps test pilot. She is the first Iranian-American astronaut to fly to space and the second woman of color to command a Dragon spacecraft.
- ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen, the pilot and a former aerospace engineer and professor. He is the first Danish citizen to fly to space twice and the first ESA astronaut to fly on a commercial vehicle.
- JAXA astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, a mission specialist and a physician. He is the second Japanese astronaut to fly on a Dragon spacecraft and the fourth to spend more than six months in orbit.
- Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, a mission specialist and a former military pilot. He is the first Russian cosmonaut to fly on a Dragon spacecraft and the third to fly under a commercial contract with NASA.
The crew will join the Expedition 69/70 crew on board the ISS and conduct various scientific experiments, maintenance tasks, and outreach activities during their six-month stay.
A Smooth Ride to Orbit
The Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Endurance capsule lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at 3:32 a.m. EDT (0732 GMT) on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. The launch was delayed by one day due to unfavorable weather conditions at the launch site and along the ascent corridor. The rocket performed flawlessly, delivering the capsule into orbit about 12 minutes after liftoff. The first stage of the rocket landed on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean, marking the 99th successful landing for SpaceX.
The Endurance capsule separated from the second stage and began its autonomous rendezvous with the ISS. The crew performed several checkouts of the spacecraft systems and enjoyed some leisure time before preparing for docking. The capsule docked with the Nauka module’s forward port at 5:12 a.m. EDT (0912 GMT) on Sunday, Aug. 27, 2023, about 26 hours after launch. The crew opened the hatches and were welcomed by their ISS colleagues at 7:05 a.m. EDT (1105 GMT).
A Busy Schedule Ahead
The Crew-7 astronauts will join NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Megan McArthur, ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, JAXA astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov on board the ISS. The station will host a record-breaking 11 crew members until Sept. 8, when Vande Hei, Novitskiy, and Dubrov will depart on their Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft.
The Crew-7 astronauts will participate in several scientific experiments during their stay, such as studying how microgravity affects human health, plant growth, materials science, and biotechnology. They will also conduct spacewalks to install new solar arrays, repair equipment, and test new technologies. Additionally, they will receive several cargo resupply missions from SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, and JAXA, as well as welcome new crew members from SpaceX’s Crew-8 mission in October.
The Crew-7 mission is expected to last until March 2024, when the Endurance capsule will undock from the ISS and return to Earth with its four crew members. The capsule will splash down in the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, where it will be recovered by SpaceX boats. | aerospace |

Researchers working with the Curiosity rover have found salt-enriched…
China plans to launch mysterious mission to the Moon in December. The new mission is called Chang’e 4 which aims to set a lunar rover and lander on the far side of the Moon. The Chang’e 4 mission will help find some of the most shadowy secrets of our nearby object, after landing on the far side of the world. It begins a journey on Saturday, 8 December, and is expected to drop onto the Moon early next year.
China’s officials said that it “will be the first to realize a soft landing on and inspection of” the far side of the Moon.
Chang’e 4 will be China’s second lunar lander and rover. It was built as a backup to Chang’e 3, as Chang’e 2 was to Chang’e 1. Following the successful landing of the Chang’e 3 mission, the configuration of Chang’e 4 was adjusted to meet new scientific objectives. The mission is named after Chang’e, the Chinese Moon goddess.
As notes businessinsider.com [Chang’e 4 will also test some hardware that China plans to use for Chang’e-5: a mission designed to collect about 4.4 lbs of dust and rocks from a northwest part of the Moon and bring those samples back to Earth].
“The name Queqiao means ‘magpie bridge’ in Chinese and comes from a Chinese folk tale, a love story about a flock of magpies that form a bridge crossing the Milky Way once a year to reunite lovers known as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, as well as their children” according to a blog post by Luyuan Xu at the Planetary Society.

Since its founding in 2014, the company’s growth included becoming a FAA certified air carrier, a move it said drew the attention of Alaska Airlines, a $2 billion aviation company which operates a subsidiary also called Horizon Air. In a statement, Leviate claimed Alaska Air had abandoned the brand, but the Everett Herald reported last month that Alaska Air will be flying out of Everett’s Paine Field under the Horizon Air brand.
“To say they [Alaska/Horizon Airlines] had no influence on our rebranding decision wouldn’t be the whole truth, but we honestly also took it as a compliment that our once small company so quickly caught the eye of such a powerhouse in aviation,” said Luis Barros, founder and CEO of Leviate. “It has also allowed us the freedom to create a brand and mark that is uniquely our own and can symbolize all the great new offerings that are now at our disposal.”
“By the close of 2020, we anticipate having 20 aircraft under our management. This will position Leviate as a substantial air charter operator in the U.S.”
Last summer, Leviate acquired Starbase Jet, a move that immediately turned the company into a FAA licensed aircraft operation and made it one the largest air charter companies in the south-central U.S.
The deal was significant because it gave the startup control over the broker side of its business as a charter as well as becoming an operator. That meant it could sell its clients a plane and then turn around and manage their plane as well.
During early summer 2016, it expanded from Horizon Air Charter to Horizon Air Group, a move that brought the startup a fuller plate of service, which at the time included aircraft charters, sales and acquisitions, private aircraft management, and aviation consulting.
Since that time, it has grown into a comprehensive aviation company offering even more charter, sales, and management services. Between that rapid growth and the brand conflict with Alaska Air, Horizon Air’s leadership felt the rebranding was necessary. The company said the rename to Leviate captures the upward movement of a company continually on the rise.
“By the close of 2020, we anticipate having 20 aircraft under our management. This will position Leviate as a substantial air charter operator in the U.S.,” Barros said. | aerospace |

One of the greatest contributions to science was made with this creation. As a research aircraft, the invention can be used for aerial research and observation. It also makes it easier for the military to practice attacks on the enemy.
Although the helicopter is an incredible creation, it was originally created as a bi-wing design. The primary difference with this design is the presence of two separate wings that are deployed upwards. The lower wing carries the weight of the rotor blades above the upper track, while the upper wing is held up in the air by pusher airbags. As the names suggest, the pusher airbags allow the upper wing to break the momentum of the downward thrust by allowing the air bags to push outward when the helicopter pitches forward or backwards. Although the advantage of this design is that there is no need for a tail rotor, it is a major limitation because of the weight that must be carried over the wings.
Unlike helicopters that are designed to take off and land on grass, a helicopter that is designed to perform aerial deliveries requires an efficient design for its transmission and landing gear. Unlike airplanes, helicopters cannot easily glide on straight runways because their wing systems are not long enough to keep them on the desired course. They also cannot lift the equivalent of 100 lbs of weight at the same time. To address these limitations, engineers designed the helicopter to be constructed of two different materials, which enable the craft to effectively control direction, glide, fly in pattern and land on a proper runway.
The two primary parts of the helicopter are the airframe and the tail rotor, which hold the main rotor assembly. The airframe is often made from either aluminum or fabric, depending on local weather and other environmental factors. The fabric is much lighter than aluminum but suffers from the wind’s resistance when the helicopter takes off and flies. Aluminum is usually the preferred material for the airframe because it is extremely durable and easy to repair. Some modifications have been made to the original design to allow for more aerodynamic efficiency, including using thicker wings for improved performance, longer blade spans, steeper angles of attack and additional control surfaces.
After the airframe, flaps, trailing edge wings and tail fins form the lateral control surfaces of the invention. Typically, these parts are stitched to the top of the airframe to support its strength and maneuverability. On some models of helicopters, such as the Bell helicopter, each of these components is separately constructed.
The control surface is usually a membrane that allows precise control of the movement, lift and tilt of the helicopter. Most people confuse the invention with a joystick, and that is incorrect because the controls on a true helicopter are often separate from those on an electric model. Sikorsky claims that the invention is far superior to other helicopters, which is why they have not sold the device to the general market. The inventor has complete creative control over the product, including how it flies and maneuvers.
One other interesting component included on many Sikorsky aircraft is what is known as a pusher strut. This piece of equipment allows two engines to be mounted in tandem on a single helicopter, increasing the overall lift of the craft. It also adds stability, since only one engine is needed to power a craft. Although the use of pushers is exclusive to Sikorsky helicopters, other manufacturers have introduced similar components.
Overall, both aircraft are incredibly lightweight, with very low drag ratios. The invention is also much more stable and less susceptible to flapping during flight. Although the Sikorsky aircraft has the edge in terms of flight distance and maneuverability, the invention has a clear advantage in terms of efficiency and cost. The aircraft is also more fuel efficient and has a much longer range than either the Sikorsky or helicopter. These advantages make the R-Pod superior to both the helicopters and the Sikorsky flying ships. | aerospace |
http://theweek.com/article/index/238374/nasas-bizarre-plan-to-drag-an-asteroid-into-the-moons-orbit | 2014-09-01T15:03:31 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-35/segments/1409535919066.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20140901014519-00362-ip-10-180-136-8.ec2.internal.warc.gz | 0.946893 | 472 | CC-MAIN-2014-35 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2014-35__0__103275131 | en | Of all the asteroids relatively close to Earth, a space rock called 1999 AO10 is the most attractive candidate for close-up inspection. But getting to it would be both ridiculously expensive and incredibly dangerous. Sending astronauts there and back would take roughly half a year, and potential rescue missions would be impossible. Astronauts would also be exposing their bodies to untold amounts of radiation once they're outside the Earth's magnetic field.
But there could be another way to study asteroids up close. NASA is reportedly considering a new mission proposed by the Keck Institute for Space Studies that would send a robotic spacecraft to grab a small asteroid, tow it back towards Earth, and then park it in the moon's orbit for us to study as we please. New Scientist reports:
The Keck team envisions launching a slow-moving spacecraft, propelled by solar-heated ions, on an Atlas V rocket. The craft would then propel itself out to a target asteroid, probably a small space rock about 7 metres wide. After studying it briefly, the robot would catch the asteroid in a bag measuring about 10 metres by 15 metres and head back towards the moon. Altogether it would take about six to 10 years to deliver the asteroid to lunar orbit.
Asteroids are a keen area of interest for researchers because they contain potentially harvestable valuables like platinum, and perhaps even oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen to fuel our rockets — which would effectively turn asteroids into gas stations for long-distance space travel. In total, the proposed plan would cost $2.6 billion, or just a shade more expensive than the Mars rover team's Curiosity mission.

The Mars 2020 mission will launch after nearly a decade of hard work and planning by thousands of engineers, scientists and specialists at NASA centers across the country and their commercial partners.
The rover is scheduled to launch on Thursday, July 30, at 7:50 a.m. ET from Cape Canaveral, Florida. NASA will provide live coverage on its website and NASA TV beginning at 7 a.m. ET.
So far, reports from the US Air Force 45th Weather Squadron predict an 80% chance of favorable conditions for the Thursday morning launch. The biggest concern is thick clouds.
If the rover doesn't launch at that time, launches will be possible every five minutes during a two-hour window Thursday morning. And if the launch is delayed beyond Thursday, there is a two-week window in which Perseverance can launch that ends on August 15.
"I'm exceptionally excited about what we're about to do as we launch Perseverance," said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine during a press conference on Wednesday. "We're going with an explicit mission to find ancient life on Mars."
After traveling through space for about seven months, Perseverance is scheduled to land at Jezero Crater on Mars on February 18, 2021.
It's one of three missions, including China's Tianwen-1 (which is carrying a rover) and United Arab Emirates' Hope Probe, that will have launched to Mars this summer. That's because opportunities to launch to Mars occur every 26 months when the Earth and Mars are in alignment on the same side of the sun, allowing for shorter trip times and less fuel.
Perseverance is carrying the names of 11 million people who submitted to NASA's "Send Your Name to Mars" campaign, as well as a plaque honoring global health care workers amid the pandemic -- and some celestially inspiring art.
It's NASA's ninth mission to land on the red planet and its fifth rover. Perseverance's design and new capabilities build on lessons learned from previous rovers. This rover is designed to act as an astrobiologist, studying an intriguing site on Mars for signs of ancient life.
A second "brain" on the rover will help Perseverance to land in what would have been an impossible site before, strewn with hazards and obstacles. This Terrain Relative Navigation instrument will help Perseverance autonomously determine the safest place to land itself. Once on the surface of Mars, that computer will help the rover to "think while driving."
The rover will use a suite of new scientific instruments to explore Jezero Crater, the site of an ancient lake and river delta on Mars. The lake existed between 3.5 billion and 4 billion years ago when Mars was wetter, warmer and habitable.
Perseverance will search for signs of ancient microbial life that may have once existed on Mars during this time. It will collect and cache samples of rock cores and soil to be retrieved and returned to Earth by future planned missions. They will be the first Martian samples, apart from Martian meteorites, to be returned to Earth.
The samples are expected back on Earth by 2031 at the earliest, due to the complicated nature of the missions that will need to retrieve the samples before sending them back to Earth.
But once the samples have returned, the true quest to understand if life once existed on Mars could finally have an answer.
The rover isn't traveling alone. Along for the ride is Ingenuity, the first helicopter that will fly on another planet, which will conduct as many as five test flights in the thin Martian atmosphere. If successful, this lightweight technology demonstration could lead to similar designs that are deployed as scouts on future missions.
Perseverance promises to be an exciting two-year mission that will provide new perspectives of Mars. The rover has 23 cameras, some of which will be active during its harrowing entry, descent and landing. Many of these cameras are color, while some have new zoom capabilities and can even capture video.
The rover will also be able to "hear" Mars for the first time and is carrying two microphones to share the sounds of the red planet and even itself as the rover's wheels crunch across the rocky surface.
And Perseverance will even test technology that could be used to assist future human missions to Mars, including an oxygen generator, a spacesuit material experiment and instruments that can help to better understand the dust, climate and environment on Mars.
"This mission is special for a lot of reasons," said Matt Wallace, deputy project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "We're doing transformative science and looking for signs of life on another planet, among a lot of other firsts." | aerospace |

The French government has signed a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) with the US administration signifying their intent to purchase the E-2D, which allows the US Navy to begin contracting activities with Northrop Grumman for production of the aircraft. The signed LOA secures the sale that will include:
- three E-2D aircraft
- nonrecurring engineering
- repairs and support equipment
- training and follow-on support
The anticipated contract award will be in 2022 with aircraft delivered to France in 2028 at the latest.
Janice Zilch, Vice President, Manned Airborne Surveillance Programmes at Northrop Grumman, said, “The procurement of the E-2D ADVANCED HAWKEYE will provide France [with] a generational leap in capability for unparalleled situational awareness for their air defence fleets.”
The French Navy has been operating the E-2C HAWKEYE since 1998 and is the only country other than the US to operate its E-2s from an aircraft carrier. This capability enables interoperability exercises that support HAWKEYES from each other’s carrier flight decks. With the US Navy’s fleet transition to E-2D squadrons, the French Navy intends to maintain interoperability and partnership by taking steps to procure three E-2D aircraft.
The E-2D is the US Navy’s premier airborne command and control aircraft for all targets and all environments. It delivers advanced radar capability for unmatched detection and tracking. Additionally, it provides 360 degree simultaneous air and maritime surveillance, enabling nations to protect sea lanes, monitor coastlines and support civilian emergency coordination operations. The E-2D is a force multiplier for interoperability, reciprocal information sharing and commonality across the battle force.

Patuxent River, MD (SPX) Jun 06, 2013
Squadron Leader Jim Schofield became the first Royal Air Force pilot to complete a vertical landing of a Lockheed Martin [LMT] F-35B short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) Lightning II on May 28. Following the flight, Schofield commented on the F-35B's handling capabilities.
"The F-35 has truly revolutionised STOVL flying," said Schofield.
"With legacy types, such as Harrier, the pilot was always working hard to land the aircraft onto a hover pad or ship. Now with F-35B, at the press of a button the aircraft transforms into 'short take-off or vertical landing' mode whereupon the aircraft can take off or hover hands-off.
"This means pilots will require less training and operating the aircraft will be much safer than legacy types. It's a fantastic aircraft to fly."
The U.S. Marine Corps plans to declare Initial Operational Capability with the STOVL in 2015.

Every seat was a window seat with a view. It was a little bumpy due to the wind, but not too bad. Wonderful experience. Would recommend it!
It was a great flight over the Grand Canyon. The pilot/staff were very helpful and informative. Definitely worth seeing!
Great option for going at your own pace but still hearing the narration that you might get on a guided tour.
It was an excellent experience and the guide is very informative.
The pilots were very friendly and the narative was helpful. | aerospace |

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Federal investigators say the pilot of a Duke Life Flight helicopter that crashed in North Carolina in 2017 may have accidentally shut off one of the aircraft’s engines just before the second malfunctioning engine failed.
News sources report the investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board suggested the pilot likely got confused by an array of emergency indicators about a problem with one of the engines.
The helicopter was en route to Duke University Hospital in Durham from Sentara Albemarle Medical Center in Elizabeth City on Sept. 8, 2017, when it crashed in a grassy field outside the town of Belvidere.
All four people onboard were killed.

From USA Today:
Amazon recently banded together with several makers of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to create a coalition to speed federal action. And the e-tailer is also buttressing its lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill.
“Amazon Prime Air is participating in several groups … that share Congress’ goal of getting small UAVs flying commercially in the United States safely and soon,” said Paul Misener, the company’s vice president of global public policy.
Such efforts are needed because the advance of commercial drones covers a swath of federal agencies including the Federal Aviation Administration, which governs airspace, and the Federal Communications Commission, with oversight of communications frequencies drones would use. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy also has rules in the works regarding privacy.
“This is uncharted territory,” says Chris Anderson, co-founder of drone maker 3D Robotics. His firm joined Amazon, DJI Innovations and Parrot in founding the coalition. The group aims to represent commercial uses of drones, establish a code of conduct and educate the public about benefits of the technology, he says.
Amazon’s interest “lets people realize how big it can be,” Anderson says. “They have a well-established presence in Washington and they were able to kick-start the mechanics of this coalition so we could quickly join and get moving.”
Drones are coming. The FAA has estimated that as many as 7,500 small, commercial drones may be in use in the U.S. by 2018, assuming regulations are in place. Globally, drone spending is expected to increase from $6.4 billion this year to $11.5 billion annually a decade from now, as projected by aerospace and defense industry research firm the Teal Group.
Both Amazon and the new coalition have retained Washington, D.C., law firm Akin Gump to assist in lobbying efforts. Already, Amazon is among nearly two dozen other companies that have sought exemptions from the FAA to begin tests with drones that weigh less than 55 pounds and fly below 400 feet.
In its filing to the FAA, Amazon said that so far it has only been able to test its drones inside its Seattle R&D lab or in other countries. Its goal is to get packages to customers in 30 minutes or less via the rotor-powered flying machines. “One day, seeing Amazon Prime Air will be as normal as seeing mail trucks,” wrote Amazon’s v Misener in the filing.
The FAA is determining the best way to respond to Amazon’s petition, said FAA spokesman Les Dorr.
Drone potential goes far beyond package delivery into such things as providing wireless broadband Internet in the Third World and monitoring areas where endangered species are hunted.
“A number of companies are looking at getting into philanthropic purposes,” says Michael Drobac, one of the lobbyists at Akin Gump working on the issues. “They’re also looking at recreational uses, mapping and aerial photography — the possibilities are limitless.”
Regulatory support for testing and deployment will help businesses harness the potential and help unlock the job-creation potential of the technology, said Ben Gielow, general counsel for the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, a non-profit technology advocacy group.
Amazon has hired Gielow, who will leave the Arlington, Va.-based association next month to join Amazon’s Prime Air public policy group.
Congress has charged the FAA with developing rules to test and integrate dronesinto the airspace. But a report that Transportation Department Inspector General Calvin Scovel delivered to Congress in February said the FAA will unlikely meet a September 2015 deadline set by Congress.
Companies need a “safe sandbox” to begin testing applications, Anderson says.
Eventually, drones could be a boon to law enforcement and public safety, helping assess crime situations and natural disasters such as fires, Akin Gump’s Drobac said.
And, yes, drones will help with the more mundane functions. “I envision a world where I walk outside and one drone delivers diapers for my children and another shows up with my pizza,” he said. “I have a vision of the world that is very good.” | aerospace |
