https://www.strategicsourceror.com/2015/11/what-is-mro-applied-to-aeronautical.html | 2021-04-22T18:00:54 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-17/segments/1618039594341.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210422160833-20210422190833-00345.warc.gz | 0.947071 | 789 | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-17__0__66800371 | en | Anyone working in the supply chain industry knows what MRO stands for: Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul. MRO can be applied to a wide range of industries, from small products to bigger ones, like aircraft. As explained in a previous post: The Aeronautical Industry: ready fortake-off!, the aeronautical MRO market is experiencing booming growth due to an increasing number of passengers. Airline companies have to closely follow manufacturers’ instructions and comply with standards defined by national and international authorities, with the sole goal of continuously increasing flight safety and ensuring better flight quality for the passengers. Yet, most airlines companies’ clients know little about how MRO contributes largely into making planes the safest way to travel today, what it entails to, and how much it costs.
Aeronautical MRO can be categorized in 4 branches: Engines, Line Maintenance (including any unscheduled maintenance due to unforeseen events, scheduled checks as described above, maintenance on en route aircraft, etc.), components repair and spare parts inventory, and heavy maintenance & modification. Each of these categories vary in necessary allocation of resources. For example, maintenance operation performed on engines (representing the current biggest cost segment of the 4 MRO categories) requires more material than Line Maintenance, which requires mostly man power. Also, MRO operations are performed either in-house, by the airline companies’ personnel, or out-sourced to certified sub-contractors, raising the question: what MRO services are outsourced and to what extent?
As described in a previous blog post and in studies from IATA, the contract maintenance industry is continuously growing. Reaching 65% of the total direct maintenance spend for airline companies in 2013, it is predicted to continue to grow in the near future. While line maintenance is commonly performed in-house, airline companies tend to outsource heavy maintenance and overhauls operations, as these operations require more sophisticated equipment and more experienced personnel. Smaller startup airlines, for which investing in associated capital expenditure (equipment, personnel and training, etc.) is not feasible, are particularly interested in outsourcing such services. Moreover, heavy maintenance along with spare part management are areas where airlines companies have often identified potential for cost-savings if out-sourced, as repair stations offer efficient and attractive solution to such services.
So, who can perform maintenance operation on planes, and what is typically done during these operations? MRO in the aeronautical industry involves multiple actors. Airline companies are responsible for maintaining and repairing their crafts, while manufacturers are tasked with providing their clients with a complete set of documentation and maintenance and repair instructions. Only personnel authorized by the national airworthiness authorities (the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States) can perform and validate maintenance tasks, following a strict maintenance plan defined by the manufacturers and to be completed every specified hours of flight or cycle (a cycle is one takeoff/landing).
So, what is an aircraft MRO operation? Most of the manufacturers require their products to undergo regular testing, or “checks,” usually categorized as A, B, C or D. While the A, B and C checks usually refer to Maintenance operations, D checks refer more to heavy maintenance and overhaul operations. Indeed, the D check requires the aircraft to be immobilized for several weeks or months, depending on the type of aircraft and its associated total flight hours, and involves partially dismantling the aircraft to inspect and repair, if needed, every single component.
Outsourcing MRO operations in the aeronautical industry is not a simple task. Airline companies’ challenged to maintain their aircrafts’ airworthiness while reducing the associated costs. Selecting and managing subcontractors capable of providing MRO services in alignment with international regulations and company objectives require resources, internal or external, such as strategic sourcing firms, to be done correctly. | aerospace |

The airline says it sees no safety risk and states that the flight schedule “will continue normally”.
KLM has consulted with the government and carried out a risk assessment. Several other airlines are avoiding Belarusian airspace for the time being.
On Sunday, a Ryanair plane flying over Belarus was forced to land at the airport of the capital Minsk. The aircraft was on its way from Greece to Lithuania. Onboard was an essential leader of the opposition, journalist Roman Protasevich, who was taken off by the Belarusian authorities.
Calls are being made from the United Kingdom and Lithuania to avoid the airspace of Belarus. The Latvian airline airBaltic does comply with this. As long as the situation is unclear, the planes will stay out of Belarusian airspace.
Wizz Air, the most significant price fighter in Eastern Europe, also flies its aircraft around Belarus. This means that Wizz Air’s flights between Kyiv in Ukraine and Tallinn in Estonia avoid the airspace of Belarus.
Several other Wizz Air routes to and from the Baltic States also usually fly over Belarus. Like airBaltic, Wizz Air is keeping a close eye on the situation. | aerospace |

The use of this document is intended to provide a standardized method of assessing the security of an Aviation Airport Facility (AAF) that is located on real property owned, or otherwise controlled by DOI.
This advisory circular (AC) provides a Framework for Safety Management System (SMS) development by aviation service providers. It contains a uniform set of expectations that align with the structure and format of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Framework; and Aviation Safety (AVS) policy in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order VS 8000.367, AVS Safety Management System Requirements, Appendix B.
On any given day, at least 60,000 commercial flights crisscross the U.S. on the safest system of aerial highways in the world. In this program, the network of constant navigational communication that forms those highways is explored: air traffic control. The video goes inside airport flight towers and the country’s busiest regional center, New York’s TRACON, or terminal radar approach control. Air traffic controllers, pilots, FAA officials, the editors of Aviation Week, and the CEO of Continental Airlines are interviewed; all agree that despite its outstanding record, the system is stretched to its limits and is quickly approaching gridlock.
Beginning with a history of humankind’s quest for flight, this video then introduces the basic components of an airplane. It also examines how an aircraft flies, the four forces that affect flight, types of propulsion units, and the instruments used to create movement. It’s an interesting introduction to the basics of aeronautics technology. | aerospace |

Today's Falcon 9 / Orbcomm-2 launch time has been changed to four minutes earlier than reported yesterday. This is important as the launch window is only open for about one minute.
Updated launch times for TODAY:
8:29 p.m. EST
5:29 p.m. PST
0229 Central Euro Time, Tues Dec 22.
Live coverage will start at http://www.spacex.com/webcast/ about half an hour prior to launch time.
Update - December 20, 2015, 4:30 p.m. PST:
Weather is 80% favorable for tomorrow's launch time. The launch window is open for just one minute.
If there is a landing attempt tomorrow, it will occur about 10 minutes after lift-off at SpaceX's Landing Zone 1, formerly known as Launch Complex 13. This location is near the eastern tip of Cape Canaveral.
If you are on the ground near the landing site, you will hear a sonic boom as the rocket returns to Earth. From nearby locations, you may also see the rocket's engines firing in the dark in preparation for landing.
News media won't be allowed to cover the launch and landing, so I'm counting on landing updates from spacetweeps who will be at the space coast tomorrow.
Update - December 20, 2015, 1 p.m. PST:
Elon Musk just tweeted that launch will be delayed by 24 hours to December 21, 2015. Tomorrow's launch time is 8:33 p.m. EST (5:33 p.m. PST). That is 0233 Central European Time on Tuesday, December 22.
Just reviewed mission params w SpaceX team. Monte Carlo runs show tmrw night has a 10% higher chance of a good landing. Punting 24 hrs.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 20, 2015
He also RT'd this image of Falcon 9 on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral at sunset today:
New photo of @SpaceX #Falcon9 in advance of tonight's ORBCOMM #OG2 launch. She's a beauty. #SpaceX pic.twitter.com/cUhCgGieiP— ORBCOMM (@ORBCOMM_Inc) December 20, 2015
Update - December 20, 2015, 11 a.m. PST:
Everything still looks good for a launch attempt today at 5:29 p.m. PST. SpaceX's coverage will start at 5:05 p.m. PST at spacex.com/webcast. The site is already displaying a countdown clock, which is a good sign. I'm not sure if NASA TV will live stream the launch. The launch window is 1 minute long and there are no other windows available today, should the launch not occur at 5:29 p.m.
For those of you at Cape Canveral: Keep looking up after the launch. SpaceX may attempt to land the redesigned Falcon 9's upper stage on land near the launch site.
I hope so. It would be fitting for Falcon 9 to return to actual, real-life flight the same weekend a movie soars to box office dominance that features the fictional ship - the Millennium Falcon - after which Falcon 9 was named.
Falcon 9 has been grounded since June, due to a failed launch attempt that was intended to deliver a Dragon cargo capsule to the International Space Station as part of NASA's commercial crew program. Tomorrow's flight will carry 11 second-generation Orbcomm satellites to orbit and will mark the second time SpaceX will deliver New Jersey-based Orbcomm's satellites into space.
The launch has been delayed since August and several times during December. The past week has seen problems with pre-flight static firing tests. The test was completed successfully last night and tomorrow's launch is contingent upon a review of the static fire data.
Elon Musk said on Twitter that all looks good for a Sunday launch from Cape Canaveral:
Currently looking good for a Sunday night (~8pm local) attempted orbital launch and rocket landing at Cape Canaveral— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 19, 2015
Image credit: SpaceX
The exact launch time is Sunday, December 20 at 8:29 p.m. EST (5:29 p.m. PST).
Falcon 9 has received some upgrades: more powerful Merlin 1D engines arranged in their trademark "octaweb" configuration - eight Merlins arranged around one in the center. Together, the engines can generate 1.5 million pounds of thrust. The older generation Merlins generated a maximum of 1.3 million pounds.
The redesigned Falcon is also a little taller, 229 feet (69.9 m) instead of 224 feet (68.3 m), to accommodate longer nozzles and extended tanks on the upper stage engines.
In addition, the improved Falcon 9 will use super-cooled, compressed fuel, which allows the rocket to carry more fuel that can be used in a landing attempt.
Jeff Bezos's company Blue Origin successfully launched a rocket to space and then landed it on a pad in West Texas just last month, and made rocket science history in the process.
SpaceX is also developing re-usability technology. A landing attempt may occur tomorrow on land near Cape Canaveral. At the moment, I can find no information on the likelihood of a landing attempt or the likely landing location near KSC. If you're on the space coast tomorrow, you just may find yourself in the right place at the right time to see a rocket stage *land* at Cape Canaveral for the first time ever.
I will update this post if new information comes in. I will also live tweet the launch tomorrow, starting around 5 p.m. PDT. The launch window is very brief, with no others available tomorrow.
Go Falcon 9!! | aerospace |

https://tendenzblick.net/a-recent-decade-of-chinese-space-exploration-space-science-projects-are-developing-greatly/ | 2024-02-28T20:01:58 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474744.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20240228175828-20240228205828-00094.warc.gz | 0.949485 | 1,442 | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2024-10__0__70084245 | en | On October 9, 2022, China successfully launched the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S), nicknamed Kuafu-1, into space using the Long March-2D rocket.
On the same day, the space station Mengtian laboratory cabin module completed propellant refueling as planned. Earlier, China achieved the first reuse of liquid rocket power, according to an announcement by China Aerospace Science and Technology Group in September.
In an interview with Chinese media, Guancha, Chen Lan, a space columnist and co-founder of Go Taikonauts, discussed the significance of China’s progress in space activities.
What KuaFu-1 does?
This is a solar observation satellite, according to the designer’s introduction, the main objectives are to observe magnetic field and two major eruptive phenomena on the Sun: solar flares and coronal mass ejections, which are important for the environment around the Earth, mainly on spacecraft and space weather. This is the first time in the world that they are observed simultaneously, which I think is a breakthrough.
China’s astronomical satellites, or more broadly, space science, have only developed significantly in the last decade. The Kuafu-1 has a certain degree of sophistication, but because of its late start, there is still a certain gap compared with the international advanced level. China may have more and more advanced satellites launched in the future to narrow the gap.
What is the significance of the information and scientific results obtained by Kuafu-1 for ordinary people?
One direct relevance is the impact of solar storms on satellite communications. In addition, when a solar storm comes, the intensity of radiation from space will increase, which has a certain impact on human health. More relevant are scientific and economic operations that are not related to daily life, such as defense communications. If we have more accurate „solar weather forecasts“, we may be able to anticipate and react in advance to plans of action.
Compared with the level of foreign countries, how big is the gap between Chinese spaceflight and foreign spaceflight?
This batch of satellites has greatly improved the level of China’s space science development. Next, there will be subsequent satellites of the space science pioneer project, including the Einstein Probe and the Solar wind magnetosphere ionosphere link explorer (SMILE) scientific satellite with the European Space Agency. In addition to the CAS space science pilot project, in astronomy, the co-orbital space telescope of the Chinese space station will be a great leap forward, because it is a large telescope with an aperture of two meters, comparable to the Hubble Space Telescope.
What are some of the most significant advances in the development of Chinese spaceflight?
The Chinese space station will be built soon. This is an important milestone for Chinese spaceflight. Its significance lies in the fact that manned flight technology is the basis for future human beings to go beyond Earth and build a multi-planet civilization. As a major power, if China can build this capability, it will ensure China’s future leadership in space.
However, I think the progress China has made in the past few years in the area of launch vehicles is more significant. The launch vehicle is the foundation of the entire space development. For now, China is still lagging. Although the Long March 5, Long March 7, and Hainan Wenchang spaceport have been a big step up from the past, China is still behind Musk’s SpaceX in terms of reusable rockets, and relies on older technologies in terms of space power.
After the successful launch of the Long March 5 a few years ago, China has made some progress in both liquid oxygen kerosene engines and liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen engines, but there are still some gaps in terms of large-scale cost reduction and reuse.
In addition, in the more advanced two-stage reusable spacecraft, vertical takeoff and horizontal landing, China is also a leader. Its first stage is similar to the space shuttle but does not enter orbit, and the second stage has a disposable rocket. Last year, two test launches were conducted, the suborbital vehicle was successfully tested, and the reuse of the liquid engine was successfully achieved.This is also a great breakthrough because previously China’s liquid engines have not been reused in flight.
Will it open the door to the low cost of Chinese spaceflight?
The goal of low cost or massive cost reduction has been a goal pursued by the space community for decades. China is now moving forward on several fronts simultaneously to develop a reusable spacecraft.
The first is to follow Musk’s line, including the Long March 6 and Long March 8. Many private companies are studying the reuse of methane rockets, which take off vertically and land vertically.
In addition, the mentioned two-stage reusable system is a horizontal landing, which is a bit more advanced.
More advanced is the aspirated horizontal takeoff and landing launch system, which is the Teng Yun system being studied by Aisino Corporation.
No matter which technology route is used, as long as it is reused, launch costs can be significantly reduced. Once the launch costs are significantly reduced, this will change the prospects of human access to space in all aspects, including Mars migration.
China has made great progress in deep space exploration and manned spaceflight in recent years. Now, like deep space exploration, China can be ranked second after the United States. In terms of manned spaceflight and space stations, China is almost on par with Russia. In terms of deep space exploration, China has successfully tested the orbiter, lander, and rover in one go by going to Mars with Tianwen-1 without any problems, which is remarkable since every country encountered various problems in the early stage of Mars exploration, and only China succeeded in one go.
What is China’s near-term target related to space activities?
In the longer term, human beings will always have to go out of the Earth. The first step is near-Earth space, then the moon, and then Mars. If humans want to go into space on a large scale, they will have to build space cities or establish such settlements on the lunar surface. This would require transporting large amounts of materials and materials into space with affordable costs.
The plan requires a very low-cost means of delivery; in the future, after the establishment of space cities, the movement of people and supplies will also require means of delivery, so the only way to achieve such a vision is to geometrically reduce the cost of means of delivery.
Space tourism is a market with very high potential, and it holds from a commercial point of view. Once the cost comes down, the demand will grow exponentially. China has an advantage in production, the government can promote investment in space solar power plants, and drive up the launch demand through the Chinese version of the star chain and the project of launching tens of thousands of satellites.

https://www.diamondaircraft.com/en/about-diamond/newsroom/news/article/blue-line-aviation-places-order-for-100-diamond-aircraft/ | 2023-12-08T02:00:37 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-50/segments/1700679100710.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20231208013411-20231208043411-00602.warc.gz | 0.954522 | 681 | CC-MAIN-2023-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2023-50__0__106088736 | en | The order comes less than a year after Blue Line Aviation’s 8 year anniversary, which was celebrated with the delivery of a brand new DA 40 NG from Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc. Blue Line, North Carolina’s leading flight training provider, has increased its fleet of modern aircraft to 16 aircraft, including ten DA40 NGs and two DA42-VIs. The company was founded in 2012 with one goal in mind: to provide the highest quality flight instruction in a professional environment. Operating new Diamond Aircraft aligns with that goal, allowing students to train in modern, technologically advanced aircraft.
“The timing of this aircraft order marks a significant milestone for Blue Line Aviation”, said Scott McFadzean, CEO of Diamond Aircraft Industries Inc., “We have followed the tremendous growth of this operation very closely and are impressed with their laser focused vision towards the future during this pandemic, which has caused a drastic shift in short-term pilot demand in the industry. We are proud to count them among our greater Diamond Family and look forward to continuing and growing the partnership for many more years to come.”
“I’m thankful to everyone that has played a part in making Blue Line what it is today. We couldn’t have done it without the hard work of our staff, students, and friends at Diamond Aircraft,” said Trey Walters, CEO and Founder of Blue Line Aviation. “Currently, we train approximately 40 full time students at a time in our 5.5 month career pilot course. We expect to triple that, or more, with the new aircraft and recently announced full student financing. We’ve been able to change lives through flight training and do some good in the world. At the end of the day, that’s what matters.”
Blue Line is also in the midst of constructing a new $16-million, 50,000-square-foot headquarters at Johnston Regional Airport (KJNX) with plans to permanently relocate in 2021. The state-of-the-art flight training facility will feature hangar space, the Professional Pilot Training Center, a barbeque restaurant and rooftop terrace, simulator room, operations center and dispatch, flight briefing rooms, and Diamond Aircraft Maintenance, and administrative offices. You can see the latest progress and watch a live feed of the construction at Blue Line’s website

Located in Hampshire, south-west of Andover and within sight of Danebury Iron Age Hillfort, the Museum of Army Flying lies within the grounds of the Army Air Corps airfield at Middle Wallop, one of the most important RAF bases during the Battle of Britain.
It is always good to visit a museum which is part of a living complex where past and present lie side by side. The museum makes good use of this by having a cafe on the first floor with a balcony that gives a good view of the working airfield. With plenty of space outside, there are also a couple of aircraft there to entice the visitor into the open air.
The first of these is a Westland Scout AH Mark I helicopter, XP910 c/n F9513. Both the Scout and the Navy’s Westland Wasp were developed from the Saunders-Roe P.531, before the project and the company were taken over by Westland. Developed as a general-purpose military light helicopter, the production version first flew in 1960.
It was originally powered by a Rolls-Royce Nimbus 101 engine whose early operational life was notoriously poor, only sustaining four to six hours before requiring changing. However, by the end of 1964, it was down to only two or three changes per 1,000 flying hours and thus became the standard helicopter for light work such as observation and liaison.
Our example first flew with the Army Air Corps (AAC) in December 1963. In the main hall, suspended from the roof, there is an example of a trial version P.531 of 1958, kitted out in an anti-tank role, carrying a pair of SS11 rockets on each flank with a roof-mounted sight.
The second of the aircraft displayed outside is a DHC-2 Beaver AL1 which has been reconstructed from original parts. It is a single-engined, propeller-driven plane with high wings, similar to the Lysander. It was built and designed by de Havilland Canada, and with around 1,700 built was one of Canada’s most successful aeroplanes. Built as a ‘bush plane’, it was rugged and had short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities, and whilst production ceased in 1969, many are still flying today.
Several hundred were bought by the US Army as a general utility aircraft, whilst an NZAF (New Zealand Air Force) Beaver flew in support of Sir Edmund Hillary’s expedition to the South Pole in 1958.
The Beaver AL1 was the variant designed specifically for the British Army. A complete original Beaver, XP821, can be found in the main hanger. This one saw service in Malaya and Singapore before being loaned to the British Embassy in Laos. It is painted in cream and grey to indicate its neutrality, despite which, on a trip from Vientiane, it was hit by a Russian-made RPG7 missile from across the Mekong River. The missile punched a hole through the port wing, but the chopper was able to make a safe landing.
Balloons, gliders, and pups
On entering the main exhibition hall, one of the first exhibits you see is a display of five ‘pilot’ uniforms which effectively sum up the history of Army flying. The first represents the pioneering years of Army flight in the form of The Royal Engineer Balloon Sections (1878-1912), followed by the dominant force in early British military aviation, the Royal Flying Corps (1912-1918). We then have The Royal Artillery Observation Post Squadrons (1941-1957) and The Glider Pilot Regiment (1942-1957), which in 1957 were amalgamated to form today’s Army Air Corps.
The layout of the museum basically follows this historical tree, with much of the earliest material based on models, images, and textual displays. The displays get into full swing with the section on the RFC and WWI. There is a fine example of a Sopwith Pup, N5915, on show.
The Pup had good handling qualities and was generally liked by its pilots. A single-seater bi-plane, it was powered by a single nine-cylinder Le Rhone 9C rotary engine, and carried a single fixed, synchronised .303 Vickers machine-gun. It first saw service on the Western Front with the RNAS in October 1916, and the following year three RFC squadrons were equipped with it.
Passing a rare example of a WWI German Field Kitchen, one enters into the main hall, where a selection of light aircraft and helicopters covering WWII up to modern times are on display. One passes from an Auster AOP9 and a Cessna L19 Bird Dog past an Aerospatiale Gazelle AH1 to an example of a Bristow Helicopters’ Bell 47 – which for many years was the basic training chopper at Middle Wallop. For some fun, though, you can climb into the back of a Westland Lynx AH1, get a real feel for the cramped space, and view the complex control panels.
Passing through a series of displays detailing operations at the ‘End of Empire’, we enter another large hall. This deals primarily with the work of the Glider Pilot Regiment and in particular with operations on D-Day and the famous failed Operation Market Garden. Here there are examples of the standard British glider, the Airspeed Horsa Mark II, and the heavy-lift Hamilcar Glider. A small Hotspur Glider, mostly used for training, has its slim cigar-shaped body suspended from the roof. But dwarfing them all is the huge US Waco CG-4A Hadrian Glider with a wingspan of 83’8” (25.5m) and length of 48’8” (14.8m).
Much to see. | aerospace |

Fat Albert is the C-130 that goes with the Blue Angels all around the country. It's usually flown by Marines and is pretty cool. It doesn't exactly do barrel rolls, like the Blue Angels, but it can do some awesome stuff. Check out this video about Fat Albert. They're having an Air Show at our base in April and I was hoping to see the JATO takeoff because it is amazing (watch the video), but the wonderful Capt. Blanton that gave us our tour said they're not doing that stunt anymore because the jet fuel packs are getting harder to find or something like that. Anyway, my hubby will eventually fly an Air Force C-130 so it was fun to walk around inside the plane and check it out.

Although it might seem a rather difficult and complex mission, trying to “bring” Internet on the Moon, some experts claim the task it’s actually much easier than most of us could imagine.
A startup known as Part Time Scientists has created a plan to bring LTE connectivity to the Moon, allowing the company’s routers to communicate with their team from Earth using anything other than the planet’s communications systems, saving both time and money.
The process should be finalized next year and will be possible due to the Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket.
The German startup has already joined forces with Space X to send their ship Alina to the space-bar.
The spacecraft will make a slight landing on the Moon, and then two Audi Lunar Quatro rods will travel on the satellite surface to the landing site of Apollo 17.
The team on the planet needs a method of communicating with the rovers, and they anticipate that it will be facilitated using cellular planet technology.
According to the team, the company already has a deal with Vodafone for LTE base stations to be installed on the Moon.
The Alina spacecraft will be the base station, receiving data from the two rovers and sending them back to Earth.
The startup could become the first private entity to reach the Moon, but it also depends by the attempts conducted by the participants from Google’s Lunar X Prize, writes slashgear.com.
Even if the initial base station will not be a permanent one, the company believes it is a solid start to bring a permanent Internet connection to the Moon that could open new horizons for future missions as well. | aerospace |

The creator of the world’s first 3D-printed rocket, Relativity Space, has announced it will develop rocket launch facilities at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Relativity Space makes the rocket, called the Terran 1, at its Stargate factory. If all goes according to plan, Terran 1 will eventually launch at Vandenberg.
Located near Lompoc, Vandenberg is the headquarters of the 30th Space Wing, which manages the Department of Defense’s space and missile testing, as well as satellite launches into polar and sun-synchronous orbits from the West Coast.
“The 30th Space Wing takes great pride in supporting the next generation of leaders in space,” Col. Anthony J. Mastalir, 30th Space Wing commander at Vandenberg Air Force Base, said in a statement. “We are impressed by Relativity’s innovative approach to reinventing aerospace manufacturing via 3D metal printing and robotics paired with an executive team of seasoned aerospace leaders. We look forward to working with Relativity as its West Coast launch partner for many years to come.”
According to Relativity’s news release on Wednesday, “The Right of Entry (RoE) allows Relativity and the 30th Space Wing to assess the viability of conducting launch operations at a location currently comprised of Building 330 and adjacent land area.”
If the B-330 launch site at Vandenberg is approved, it will be capable of supporting the world’s first and only fully 3D-printed rocket, Relativity’s Terran 1.
The new rocket has 100 times lower part count than traditional rockets and a maximum payload of 1,250 kilogram (or about 2,750 pounds). Because it is entirely 3D-printed at Relativity’s state-of-the-art Stargate factory, Terran 1 has a radically simple supply chain, and it can be built from raw material to flight in less than 60 days.
Relativity announced this year that it plans to operate from new headquarters in Long Beach.
“We’re honored to begin this partnership with the 30th Space Wing and join the exclusive group of private space companies able to conduct launches at Vandenberg,” Relativity CEO Tim Ellis said in a statement. “The West Coast launch facilities allow Relativity to provide affordable access to polar and sun-sync orbits that are critical for both government and commercial customers. The geographic southerly position of B-330 at Vandenberg offers schedule certainty and increased launch frequency that will be advantageous to our Terran 1 customers.”
In addition to the Right-of-Entry agreement at Vandenberg, Relativity also announced Wednesday that it has signed a launch contract with Iridium Communications Inc. to help with the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation. After SpaceX, Relativity is the only other private space company Iridum has chosen for launch.
“Iridium offers critical communications over the planet’s entire surface, and we are very proud to be their launch partner that supports this capability,” Tim Ellis, CEO and co-founder of Relativity Space, said in a statement. “As the first 3D-printed launch vehicle, Terran 1 offers uniquely disruptive flexibility, cost and performance advantages, especially for medium-payload missions that need dedicated launches.”
According to Relativity’s press release, “The second-generation Iridium constellation was completed in January 2019 and consists of 66 operational satellites and 9 in-orbit spares. An additional six satellites were manufactured as ground spares and remain in storage. Should the need arise to launch a ground spare, Relativity’s Terran 1 offers a cost-effective, efficient response time option for Iridium to quickly deploy a satellite to one of its six orbital planes. Relativity’s disruptive large-scale robotic 3D printing technology enables launches within months, instead of years.”
As it moves forward with its partnership with Iridium, the Vandenberg launch site will be crucial for Relativity because it provides access to the particular polar and sun-sync orbits needed to launch the satellites used for the Iridium NEXT satellite constellation. Relativity’s press release states that the launches will happen on an as needed basis and are planned for no earlier than 2023.
“The upgraded Iridium satellite constellation is operating incredibly well, but it’s prudent to have a cost-effective launch option available for future spare delivery,” Matt Desch, CEO of Iridium, said in a statement. “Relativity’s Terran 1 fits our launch needs to LEO well from both a price, responsiveness and capability perspective. And we know based on our previous experience that there are great benefits to engaging with a provider early on during development of the launch vehicle and it evolving around our particular needs.”
Relativity co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Jordan Noone told the News-Press as the company continues to grow that he is excited for what is ahead and is looking forward to new opportunities.
According to Relativity’s press release, “This agreement represents yet another milestone that the company secured with federal, state and local governments and agencies across the United States government. A new launch site at Vandenberg will be Relativity’s latest addition to its portfolio of major infrastructure partnerships, which also include a launch site Right of Entry at Cape Canaveral Launch Complex-16 and an exclusive-use Commercial Space Launch Act (CSLA) agreement for NASA test sites E4 and E2 at the NASA Stennis Space Center.” (The space center is in Mississippi.) | aerospace |

Almost 13,000 of the famed B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bombers were produced during World War II, but today, only 45 complete examples of the four-engine U.S. aircraft still exist, and only four of them are flyable. Thanks to the Playtone/Amblin production of Masters of the Air, there are now two more.
The Apple+ series follows the air crews of the American 100th Bomb Group flying raids into Germany from bases in the U.K. And to help create that illusion for the screen, British production designer Chris Seagers supervised the construction of two complete replica B-17s capable of taxiing down the runways of a vintage airfield in Hertfordshire. But with the nine-part series’ harrowing scenes of the bombers flying through a storm of German anti-aircraft artillery fire, fending off Nazi fighter planes and sometimes executing gear-up landings or outright crash landings in fields, Seagers and his crew had to construct Fortress exteriors and interiors in exacting detail, and in multiple iterations.
“It wasn't a cheap exercise,” Seagers says. “But for Playtone and Amblin, it was all about the B-17. So they had to have it, it had to work, and it had to be convincing. [Executive producer] Steven Spielberg very early on was saying that this story was something he's always wanted to do, but we'd never had the technology to do it.”
Spielberg — also an executive producer on the previous World War II companion series Band of Brothers and The Pacific — wasn’t the only one applying pressure for authenticity. “We were working with the 100th Bomb Group Foundation; they were very involved in putting this together,” Seager points out. “We were asking them very much, ‘How would we do this? How would we do that?’ And I don’t mean to show any disrespect, but it's a very nerdy world, and you don't want to get it wrong.”
The production had access to three surviving B-17s for study purposes, but there was no question of using them to execute any shots for the series. “We've been doing this long enough to know that you probably wouldn't be able to put an antique plane through what we wanted to do with it,” Seagers says. Even with digital effects recreating dozens of B-17s in flight and augmenting Seagers’ work, the production designer had to literally get down to the nuts and bolts of building two full-sized bombers the old-fashioned way. “We started off by creating the infrastructure and then wrapping it with a skin. We used a special effects company who did a lot of the work on that in the end, and we ended up going back and finding the old Boeing design drawings — a lot of them are available online — and we just built it like a proper plane.”
The landing-gear wheels of the replica bombers were fitted with Tesla motors so the faux aircraft could “taxi” under remote control on the runways at a WWII-era airfield outside of Oxford. In the series, they also appear to have moving propellers, but Seagers explains that this is movie magic at work. “It's quite dangerous to put spinning propellers on those planes. We ended up having propellers in place when we were stationary, and then we took them off once the planes were going, so we did have to CG them all back in again.”
Masters of the Air is one of several visual effects-heavy television productions to employ the volume — a curved LED screen background that displays completed visual effects to form perspective-changing backgrounds for actors. Seagers and his crew dismantled one of their B-17s to be used in sequences of the pilots and flight crew reacting to and interacting with action outside their aircraft. “It's about a 120-foot semi-circle,” Seagers says of the LED screen. “It wasn't the usual round or the horseshoe shape. And there we ended up taking the plane and then compartmentalizing it into the nose, the cockpit, the gunners and all the various pieces all the way down. I think it ended up being eight sections. Neil Corbould built this pretty huge, giant gimbal plate, and then they just put all these pieces on depending on which piece they needed, because we were shooting with multiple cameras so you could shoot multiple sequences at the same time. Obviously, it worked very well with the pilots because it gave them their eye lines,” Seagers notes. “Our biggest problem was getting all of their eyelines following the same thing, and at least that enabled that to happen.”
The volume also created backdrops for ground scenes, to show a bomber crew in front of a landed B-17 in Africa, and for an early scene of the U.K. airfield shrouded in fog. “You just cannot hold that fog for that length of time, and when you're in an airfield, it's always windy,” Seagers says. “Also, we had weather, because you're in England so you can have a beautiful summer's day and all of a sudden it starts raining, so we ended up doing a lot of that onstage. To be honest, I think that's where the volume works best, when you're not shooting directly onto it, and when you're putting some material or some scenery or a smoke layer in front of it just takes the edge off it; otherwise it can be a little bit too glare-y.”
For some sequences where actors had to interact with the exterior of the B-17s while in flight, one of the full-size replicas was suspended 40 feet in the air on a 300-ton crane. “To get the bombs to drop out, to get the guys to come out, all the hanging on the side of the planes, all those kinds of stunt stuff was all done on a hanging plane,” Seager explains. “The trouble was we had to be so careful in the wind, because if the wind picked up, they were so aerodynamic, they would start to lift.”
With the series’ multiple bombing missions, the aircraft had to show off bullet and flak damage and torn metal unique to each sortie — damage that had to be created practically because the show’s visual effects team was so overloaded creating the aerial sequences. “We tried to keep one plane that was clean all the time to start everybody off,” Seager says. “The damage is pretty severe on some of them, and because we shot in episodic order we had to shoot the damage and then rearrange it for the next episode.”
The green-and-grey camouflage look of the B-17s also changes to bare metal silver toward the end of the series, just as the real bombers changed their look in the actual war. “Originally, we weren't going to do the silver ones,” Seagers says, “Because they didn't happen till quite later on, and there was a number of reasons why they were silver. But it became evident that there was no point in having any camouflage, because it was making no difference. They discovered when they were flying them over unpainted, that they were flying faster, and they were lighter. They also look cooler.” | aerospace |

(Credit: NASA)|
"This is tremendous news and the first time NASA has deployed a solar sail in low-Earth orbit"
said Dean Alhorn, NanoSail-D principal investigator and aerospace engineer at the Marshall Center.
On the 10th of June 2010, half a year earlier the Japanese Space agency successfully unfolded their first live testing of a Solar Sail, a project called Ikaros.
The principle behind solar sailing is relatively simple. Photons, or particles of light, falling on a highly reflective, ultra-thin surface will exert a pressure. This pressure will in turn push the spacecraft forwards. This relatively simple technology has the potential to save vast amounts of fuel, potentially for interplanetary exploration, and already now it helps geostationary satellites around the earth keep their orbit at correct altitudes and saves them bringing extra fuel.
There are currently two main problems facing this relatively new method of propulsion.
- One is the fact that the area of the sail has to be huge. Unfolding it is a challenge, as due to the fact that it has to be ultra-thin, the sail rips easily
- The other big problem is the fact that the material is not efficient enough at the moment and a lot of potential propulsion is lost.
Should these issues however be overcome, then in the future more satellites and space probes will be propelled using solar sails. | aerospace |

Lockheed and Boeing have always been two big names that give government contracts to develop parts for NASA’s rockets. Recently, however, there are even more companies in which to invest, as we are at the dawn of a new space race.
This space race is not between countries, so much as, between companies; private companies experimenting with ways to bring space travel to the ordinary people. … Read the rest | aerospace |

So, you can get a bit more free lift out of the system, and perhaps a bit more altitude, by using two party balloons in tandem to fly the payload. In my most recent flight, my payload was 18g, and I wanted 5g of free lift. Using the float calculator (assuming helium), I came up with these numbers:
|(1) 36" mylar, 18g payload, 5g free lift||Projected: 7630|
|(1) 36" mylar, 9g payload, 2.5g free lift (each doing 1/2 the work)||Projected: 8860|
|(1) 36" mylar, 9g payload, 2.5g free lift (each doing 1/2 the work)||Flight 1 Actual: 9156|
The third row is an edit following the first flight, confirming the expectation that we would have a much nicer altitude with two balloons.
How to attach them
Consulting with Dave/VE3KCL, who is also flying dual balloons, he said he was using a Tyvek tape. I don't think I found exactly what he's using. I found this:
I sealed the upper balloon with the Tyvek tape. Note the attempt to keep the stem and valve section very flat. I then found the center line of the lower balloon, and put a strip of Tyvek tape along the seam edge facing me. I tried to keep the tape on the seam, and not extending down onto the balloon proper. I then pressed the upper balloon into the tape. The picture below shows the strip of tape attached to the lower balloon, and the upper balloon attached to the sticky side, facing me. There is a little bit of the tape from the lower balloon extending past either side of the upper balloon, providing a sticky surface on each end.
I then placed a second strip of tape on the lower balloon closest to me, again trying not to hit the inflatable section of the lower balloon, and capturing the upper balloon. The front and back strips are stuck to each other on the end, and via the upper balloon in the middle.
Dave also makes a secondary connection between the two balloons. The runs a loose cord down from the upper to the attachment point at the bottom of the lower balloon. I didn't do that for fear that the string rubbing on the lower balloon might cause problems. | aerospace |

Space engineer Shefali explains how engineering can save Christmas.
Clambering down tight chimneys, mountains of mince pies to eat, making sure Rudolph and the reindeer eat their weight in carrots, Santa has a difficult job on Christmas Eve.
And in recent years it’s been made even harder by the growing amount of space debris he has to guide his sleigh through, as he flies around the world delivering presents to good boys and girls.
Helping to make Santa’s journey that bit easier is space engineer Shefali Sharma, who works at Oxford Space Systems (OSS) and is leading technology development for the ESA’s (European Space Agency) RemoveDebris project.
Space engineer Shefali Sharma
Shefali a Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Hub member explains, how engineering can remove the space debris and clear the way for Santa, his reindeers and his sleigh.
How can space engineering remove space debris for Santa?
“As you might imagine, engineering is not always a straightforward job – it requires creativity, problem-solving as well as a good grounding in maths and physics,” she reveals.
“First of all, we would ask Santa for his flight plan. We need to understand which debris has the potential to endanger his trip.
“All debris of a certain size is actually mapped and monitored from Earth, so we would be able to see just how much junk we would need to remove.
“We also need to consider where the debris will be on Christmas Eve. After all, Santa always manages to complete his trip in a single night.
“Once we know just how much work we have to do, there are a number of options to consider for pushing the debris out of Santa’s way, and back into the Earth’s atmosphere where it will burn out. We could look at technologies such as a net, a harpoon, robotic arms, or even investigate the potential of vaporizing smaller objects with lasers.
“Our last problem would be to actually send these technologies to space, which could be done by launching them with rockets or sending them first to the ISS (International Space Station) and launch them from there.”
The Government is encouraging young people from all backgrounds to explore the different opportunities and careers engineering offers.
There is a misunderstanding and misconceptions about engineering, with only around one third of parents knowing what engineers do.
Through the Engineering: Take A Closer Look campaign, young people aged 11-16, their teachers and parents can learn more about what it takes to forge a career in the field – and the different routes in from graduate to vocational.

Aerospace engineering alumna and NASA astronaut Megan McArthur will soon visit the International Space Station for the first time following a previous trip to space in 2009 .
As the pilot of SpaceX’s second crewed flight, McArthur will join a team of four astronauts in spring 2021, for a six-month exploration aboard the ISS. SpaceX just celebrated Crew Dragon’s historic NASA astronaut splashdown when the capsule that carried McArthur’s astronaut husband Bob Behnken safely returned to earth off the coast of Pensacola, Florida on August 2.
The Crew Dragon allows NASA to keep seven crew members aboard the space station, compared to the current capacity of six. The extra astronaut will enable NASA to double the amount of science conducted in space. With SpaceX and other commercial companies working on sending astronauts to low earth orbit, NASA is also free to devote its attention to working on spacecraft for missions to the moon, Mars and beyond.
McArthur was selected as an astronaut in 2000, and was a mission specialist aboard space shuttle Atlantis on her first mission to space in 2009. She controlled the shuttle’s robotic arm as the crew spent 12 days and 21 hours fulfilling its mission — repairing and upgrading the Hubble Space Telescope for the final time. Part of UCLA’s history went along on that trip, as McArthur took with her a miniature IMP, the computer switch that served as the first node of the internet at UCLA in 1969.
McArthur received a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from UCLA in 1993, and a Ph.D. in oceanography from UC San Diego. She went on to work at NASA in the Shuttle Avionics Integration Laboratory as well as Mission Control centers for the Space Station and Space Shuttle.
In 2009, UCLA did an interview with McArthur before her first trip to space. | aerospace |

Jared Scott 601st AOC Public Affairs TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. -- The 601st Air and Space Operations Center here held a ceremony Aug. 21 to commemorate the activation of the 101st Air and Space Operations Group. The 101st AOG, which is a Florida Air National Guard unit, provides the manning for the 601st AOC to fulfill their mission of defending the homeland. The 101st AOG, formerly known as the Southeast Air Defense Sector, officially stood up July 1, 2009. "The 601st AOC and the 101st AOG have a no-fail mission," said Col. Scott Barberides, 101st AOG commander. "Around the clock, 24-7, we never turn the lights off, and people are working right now defending our skies." The 601st AOC, often referred to as America's AOC, is responsible for detecting, deterring, defending and if necessary, defeating any aviation threat to the citizens of the United States and to U.S. critical infrastructure. "The 601st is made up roughly of 550 people, with 350 of those folks being 101st AOG members," said Col. Randy Spear, 601st AOC commander. "If the 601st were a car, the 101st would be the engine and the drive train that makes the 601st AOC mission happen." Saturday's ceremony was presided over by Brig. Gen. Joseph Balskus, Florida's Assistant Adjutant General and Florida Air National Guard commander. The ceremony was complete with the changing of the flags representing the unit's transition from the Southeast Air Defense Sector to the 101st AOG. After the ceremony friends and family were invited to take a tour of the center's operations floor, which monitors all the air traffic in the continental United States. "It started after Sept.11, 2001," said Colonel Spear. "We, as the Department of Defense, had to reconfigure ourselves, and a part of that reconfiguration was to transform the Southeast Air Defense Sector into the 101st AOG." The Southeast Air Defense Sector was originally established as the Montgomery Air Defense Sector in September 1957. Effective Oct. 16, 1995, SEADS transitioned from the U.S. Air Force to the Air National Guard, and became a Geographically Separated Unit assigned within the Florida Air National Guard. The tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001 marked a change in the way SEADS, North American Aerospace Defense Command, and United States Northern Command monitored air traffic in the continental United States. Prior to 9/11, NORAD had only monitored air traffic entering CONUS airspace. After 9/11, NORAD, along with the Federal Aviation Administration, started to monitor all the air traffic in CONUS airspace. Operation Noble Eagle, the military's response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, became the focus of SEADS, NORAD and USNORTHCOM, ensuring the safety of America. SEADS' mission was relocated to the Eastern Air Defense Sector in November of 2006 and it took on a new role. Now known as the 601st Air and Space Operations Center, the AOC monitors all the air traffic in the continental U.S. region. On June 1, 2007, the 601st AOC opened the doors on its brand new, state-of-the-art, 37,000 square-foot, $30.5 million air and space operations center. This new facility enhances the 601st AOC's ability to protect America's skies from attack, as well as provide lifesaving relief during natural and man-made disasters. "We have a proud heritage with the state of Florida, and a noble past with the Southeast Air Defense Sector," said Colonel Barberides. "That truly is the heart and soul of the 101st AOG."

The corresponding document describing the expected financial costs had to be ready by mid-April, but officials at the American space Agency said that for the final review and approval will take another few weeks.
March 26, Vice-President Mike Pence during a meeting of the National space Council approached NASA with the goal to return Americans to the moon by 2024, which marked a significant change in the time for the space Agency, which planned to carry out the return of man on Earth in 2028-M. Then Penny noted that NASA has a plan that will allow to accelerate the preparation for the resumption of the lunar program, the details of which the head of the space Agency Jim Bridenstine announced just five minutes before the performance of the Pens.
However, the Pens go into these details did not, and since information about them was unknown. April 2, Breidenstein at the meeting of the Scientific Committee of the house of Representatives said that NASA is preparing amendments to the presidential budget request, which will include the approximate cost of flights to the moon and details of preparation for these missions. About whether the Agency time to prepare these documents by April 15, Breidenstein said that the Agency “really try”.
In the end, since April 15 has been more than three weeks. And the members of the Scientific Committee of the U.S. house of Representatives expressed concern at the fact that the amendments of the space Agency still has not been provided for review and approval.
“The lack of a plan does not allow our country to resume the research programme of the moon,” commented an American politician Kenda horn during yesterday’s meeting of the Committee on plans for the development of deep space aerospace Agency NASA.
“Before NASA was given a clear task to develop and prepare a plan that includes a budget and details of the project exploration of the moon, however, these data, the Congress is still not seen,” added horn.
The politician asked the Agency representatives to answer, why the relevant documents were still not ready.
“We understand that this is a very serious task that requires careful consideration and a solid plan,” took the floor Manager of NASA missions to study space, William Gerstenmaier.
“We must ensure that all collected and integrated so that it made sense,” — said the representative of NASA.
Gerstenmaier, noted that the impending amendment must still obtain the approval of the White house, which in turn can slow the process. However, he stressed that the details will be provided to Congress soon.
“We need a few more weeks. Perhaps one or two weeks on the final preparations,” he added.
The head of NASA, Breidenstein at a hearing of the Senate last week, said that the cost of a new lunar program will not exceed $ 8 billion, as mentioned in earlier reports. However politicians these words were not convinced and they demanded to disclose more precise figures that the Congress should expect to see in the query NASA.
“To this point in time, this matter is still under discussion,” — said at the same hearings mark Sirangelo, assistant administrator of NASA’s lunar program issues.
Until today the official space Agency voiced only General information about how the Agency plans to accelerate the preparation of the lunar program in order to meet the new the US government’s stated terms. It is obvious that to a greater extent, NASA plans to use the same tactics and techniques that it planned to use originally scheduled for 2028 mission to the moon. For example, is developing a new super-heavy rocket Space Launch System and spacecraft “Orion”, which will bring American astronauts on new lunar space station Gateway. In addition, the Agency will need a new manned landers that will be used for the disembarkation of people from the station to the moon’s surface and return them back.
The head of the Agency, Breidenstein noted that all these technologies will need for a quick return to the moon, so NASA will focus on faster to prepare.
“First for us is speed. We want as quickly as possible to return to the moon,” said Brandenstein meeting Space Symposium in April of this year.
Details about how the Agency intends to accelerate preparations for the resumption of flights to the moon, as well as questions about the value of this measure should be reflected in the amendment of NASA, which is not yet ready.
As it turned out, this is not the only and perhaps even not the main problem. Policy asked NASA whether the Agency suitable for lunar missions space suits that, Breidenstein said that I need to develop a new but you must first understand the tasks that will be incorporated in the framework of the first mission to the satellite.
“Based on this, we will develop suitable space suits,” said he.
Thus, even when the preparation of the plan there remains uncertainty in respect of the entire lunar program. Any queries on the amendments to the budget that will be submitted to NASA and the White house to plan for sending humans to the moon in 2024 must be approved by Congress, and its representatives have already been disappointed with such “common answers” space Agency.
“We have the Directive of the White house to send a man to the moon within five years, but there is no plan, no budget and details on how to do it, there is no convincing comprehensive roadmap for deep space exploration, which firmly sets out tasks in the most effective way to achieve a more distant goal – to land a man on Mars. In fact, we’re flying blind,” lament of American politics. | aerospace |

>> >Concord stretches at speeds past mach 1. Can anyone elucidate on this. >> >Why does it happen or does it happen? Based on an article in Science & Vie (Mars 1989), the french Aerospatiale were, at the time thinking of the next generation concorde: Concorde ATSF USA project Length 62,17m 76m Wingspan 25,60m 36,6m Takoff Weight 183t 225t 350t Max speed Mach 2 Mach 2-2,4 Mach 2,7 Passengers 128 225 300 Range 6000km 12000km At the time, the article stated that the US projects were more elaborate with a capacity of 300 passengers with take off weight of 350 tonnes. The US plane was to have been designed for Mach 2,7 (2900kmh) whereas the next generation Concorde (ATSF) was to have been limited to Mach 2,4 (2500kmh) Limiting the french "new" concorde to mach 2,4 resulted in major savings: -less high-tech materials used for the skin of plane (because of heating/expansion) -no need for special precautions with regards to fuel tanks which, at very high temperatures associated with flights above Mach 2,4 cause problems with fuel storage. The article also stated that if the existing Concorde were to be built today with todays' materials, the same 128 passenger capacity would weight only 120t instead of the currrent 183t and its range would be increased by 900km because of the lower weight and improved aerodynamics. All this is, of course,. old information (1989) but it does give some information about the heating problems on supersonic planes. The article also confirmed that the heating of the surfaces is caused by the air particles hitting the plane's surfaces and transforming their cinetic energy into heat. Is the correct interpretation correct ?: Air particle has no speed (cinetic energy = 0) Air particle is hit by moving plane. (cinetic energy = 0) Air particle is quickly accelerated (cinetic energy > 0) Air particle then de-celerates, releasing cinetic energy Air particle then returns to normal (cinetic energy =0) Or does the heat transfer not require that the air particle actually accelerate first ? | aerospace |

The Russian built Antonov An-26 twin-engined turboprop, was said to be flying from the eastern Kamchatka peninsula capital of Petropavlovsk to Palana village before it missed communications and disappeared from radar.
Speaking on the crash incident, Russia’s aviation agency told CNN that the plane’s wreckage was found around 4 – 5 kilometres from the Palana airport.
According to Russian news source TASS, it was reported that the weather was cloudy and foggy at the time and the airplane crash and that the incident might have been caused by piloting errors resulting from low visibility.
Onboard the crashed aircraft, were 22 passengers, six (6) crew members and also two (2) children as reported by Alexander Zabolichenko, Deputy Chairman of the Kamchatka Government.
Russian agencies have now laughed a probe into the cause of the plane crash which saw to the loss of 28 passenger lives. | aerospace |

Director, Sure Claims Management
Yes. We are currently offering the course as a two-day online video conference course. We believe this provides the best balance of access to the instructor’s expertise with necessary social distancing. We are still able to offer flight assessments in the usual way.
Our training is for any individual or company wanting to fly drones commercially, and therefore requiring a Civil Aviation Authority PFCO (Permission for Commercial Operation). The CAA publishes guidance on what constitutes ‘commercial operations’ here.
Yes, although not for the ground school component of the training. By the time of your flight assessment you will need to own one and be used to flying it.
Course prices vary according to venue and class size but start at £799+VAT including online learning, course materials, ground school, flight assessment and operations manual review.
Bespoke courses for business customers are priced according to requirements.
No flying experience is needed for the ground school. The minimum requirement for the flight assessment is 2 hours logged within the preceding 3 months. However, we recommend a minimum of 4 hours if possible.
Yes, we often travel to client premises and use their facilities to minimise lost time for staff members.
The short answer is yes. We can provide you with a generic set of procedures to enable you to complete the flight assessment before completing your own company-specific operations manual. This will give you an opportunity to learn exactly what is required and what works well and not so well, before writing your own procedures.
We run both standard and bespoke courses. The ground school is the same, but we add client-specific practical training as required at additional cost.
You will enjoy and benefit from the ground school much more if you can allocate approximately 20 hours of time to pre-course preparation using our online learning portal. You’ll also need to allow time to increase your flying skills to meet the minimum assessment standard, and hopefully more.
Prior to attendance we will send you printed copies of the UAQ Course Study Manual and Flight Assessment Handbook. You’ll also have access to comprehensive online learning portal. You’ll then attend our 2-day ground school and subsequently your flight assessments. Finally, we’ll supply you with a template and guidance for your operations manual, leading to a recommendation to the CAA for your PFCO (Permission for Commercial Operation).
Our CAA training is run in partnership with UAV Air and we deliver the UAV Air Unmanned Aircraft Qualification course. Our trainers are UAV Air trainers but Leaping Wing will be your point of contact for all phases of the course before, during and afterwards.
Yes. We anticipate that the GVC course will be available shortly in anticipation of the adoption of EASA regulations on or after 1 November 2020. More information will be published shortly. | aerospace |

Waterloo Warbirds Pay Tribute
The Waterloo Warbirds paid tribute to front line workers by flying over the Guelph and Waterloo regions on Tuesday (May 12), following on a similar tribute by the RCAF Snowbirds a few days earlier.
A Canadair-built version of the Lockheed T-33 training aircraft, named the CT-133 Silver Star by the RCAF, flew over many long-term care and first-responder facilities during the flight, as did a North American Harvard IIB.
The Waterloo Warbirds is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, in flying condition, of vintage aircraft. Included in their jet fleet, in addition to the CT-133, are a British-built de Havilland Vampire Mk 55, a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 and an Aero L-29 Delfín, the latter two being Soviet-built. The organization is also working on the restoration of an additional T-33. The piston-powered Harvard rounds out the fleet.
The Waterloo Warbirds offers flights in all four of their jets to paying passengers, and attracts customers from around the world. Flights typically last 20 minutes. Further information can be found here. | aerospace |

41-year-old Los Angeles Lakers icon 13-year-old Gianna Bryant and seven other people died on a cloudy morning off the south coast of California on the morning of Jan. 26 when their Sikorsky S-76B helicopter crashed into a hillside in Calabasas, shocking the sports and basketball worlds.
In the crash, 13-year-old Payton Chester also killed Sarah Chester, 45; Alyssa Altobelli, 14; Keri Altobelli, 46; John Altobelli, 56; Christina Mauser, 38; and Ara Zobayan, 50 years old.
Zobayan was the chief pilot of Island Express helicopters, with 8,500 hours of flight experience and about 10 years of flight experience in the area where the vessel crashed, the National Transportation Safety Board said at a hearing outlining the likely cause of the accident.
The pilot probably had an episode of “spatial diversion” that NTSB president Robert Sumwalt said “powerful, misleading feelings can confuse a visual flight pilot who loses visual references and what type of training can be effective in counteracting this. the effect. “
“Unfortunately, we’ve seen this accident before,” said Michael Graham, a board member. “Helicopters will continue to fly under VFR (Visual Flight Rules) in meteorological conditions and will unfortunately lose control of the aircraft due to spatial disorientation.”
The previous owner of the Sikorsky S-76B operated it regularly with two pilots, the president said.
While there was no mandate for Island Express helicopters to use two pilots, Sumwalt insisted that two trained eye kits could change.
During Tuesday’s hearing, Sumwalt even concluded his own detective, who underestimated the two pilots’ suggestions, saying he saw plenty of “spatial disorientation” accidents in which a pair of aircraft were in control.
“I don’t agree with that,” said Sumwalt, who was a long-haul pilot for US Airways before joining the NTSB.
“I think two pilots would increase the level of safety. I flew with two pilots for a long time and in an airline environment it became superfluous that if one pilot fights, the other pilot can sit back and say, ‘Wait a minute, move 30 degrees to the left and start to descend. “
As Zobayan met the sea layer that morning, the pilot appeared to be flying in the fog in violation of federal guidelines, the NTSB said.
The pilot should have avoided “adverse weather” and “helicopter diversion, return to base, or landing,” Graham said.
“And unfortunately the pilot didn’t do that,” Graham added.
The Island Express helicopter lawyer was unable to speak immediately on Tuesday.
It is also assumed that Zobayan “put himself under pressure” to complete the journey because he had had a relationship with Bryant for a long time.
Investigators say there is no evidence that Bryant or anyone else at the travel party put pressure on Zobayan that Sunday morning to finish the journey quickly. | aerospace |

‘Lasing’ is a term used by the USAF to denote the dangerous activity of intentionally aiming laser beams at aircraft. Pilots may be disoriented or even blinded by these laser beams, resulting in fatal accidents.
“Recent incidents of laser pointers being aimed at fighter aircraft during flight operations have raised significant concerns,” the USAF said in a statement.
The USAF declared that, aside from endangering the lives of pilots and crew, lasing can also be a hazard to the towns, villages and homes that are underneath the approach corridor of RAF Lakenheath.
“While a surface-to-air lasing incident is always a hazard for air crew’s near-term vision and long-term optical health, it becomes a critical hazard that impacts safe operation of the aircraft at low altitude,” the USAF added.
The USAF also stressed the legal ramifications and consequences that offenders may face under the Laser Misuse (Vehicle) Bill in the UK.
Under the bill, which was established in 2018, a person found guilty of laser misuse may face the following:
conviction in England and Wales: to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, to a fine or to both;
conviction in Scotland: to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to both;
conviction in Northern Ireland: to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum or to both;
conviction on indictment: to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years, to a fine or to both.

As a geometry modeler, it is unique in that it is designed to model unconventional configurations with a smooth parametrization with efficient derivative computation, all while maintaining compatibility with structured multi-block CFD. It uses a watertight representation of the aircraft outer mold line (OML) using an untrimmed union of tensor-product B-spline surfaces, and uses an interpolation approach to handle intersections between aircraft components without introducing discontinuities or even non-differentiable points.
3-D Aerodynamic shape optimization of a truss-braced wing design eliminates the shock in the region between the fuselage, main wing, and struts, reducing drag by roughly 60%. [Hwang et al., AIAA 2014-2041]
Large-scale MDO of an electric aircraft for on-demand mobility
Reference: [Hwang and Ning, AIAA 2018-1384]
NASA's X-57 Maxwell is an experimental aircraft developed as a demonstrator for distributed electric propulsion (DEP). In this context, DEP refers to the placement of small electrically-driven propellers across the leading edge of the wing, to increase airflow over the wing. These 'high-lift propellers' activate during low-speed phases of flight only (take-off and landing), where the increased dynamic pressure enable the lift requirements to be met with a much smaller wing. This enables a higher-aspect-ratio wing for better aerodynamic efficiency during cruise and reduced susceptibility to turbulence.
Here, we develop a system-level multidisciplinary model of the aircraft that includes the vortex lattice method for aerodynamic analysis, blade element momentum theory for propeller analysis, 1-D structural finite element analysis for the wing, and the equations of motion across the mission profile. We optimize the battery sizing, altitude profile, velocity profile, propeller RPMs, angle of attack, propeller blade chord and twist distributions, and propeller diameters, with range as the objective function. MDO results in a 12% increase in range, obtained through efficiency improvements that enable a span increase and a larger high-lift propeller diameter, and the span increase allows the aircraft to carry a larger battery for the increased range. | aerospace |

The 350-kg spacecraft, developed for ESA by Swedish Space Corporation, is due for launch in September 2003 on Ariane V162. It will be flown inside a specific cylindrical adapter below the lower of the two primary payloads, inside a standard Sylda dual launch adapter. SMART-1 will be the third spacecraft deployed on the mission, its co-passengers being India's Insat 3E and Eutelsat's e-Bird communication satellites. As the first Small Mission for Advanced Research in Technology of the Horizon 2000 space science plan, SMART-1 will demonstrate innovative and key technologies for scientific deep-space missions. One of these key technologies is the solar electric propulsion used as primary propulsion. SMART-1's primary propulsion is provided by a 70-mN thrust PPS-1350 stationary plasma thruster developed by Snecma Moteurs. Solar electric primary propulsion (SEPP) is envisioned for future ESA missions like the BepiColombo probe to Mercury. Other technologies to be demonstrated onboard SMART-1 include Li-ion batteries, deep space X-Ka and laser data links, swept charge device X-ray detector and autonomous onboard software. SMART-1 will be released in geostationary transfer orbit and will use SEPP to reach the Moon. Once in lunar orbit, SMART-1 will conduct a geochemistry and mineralogical survey of the Moon. | aerospace |

Javier Borges 571st Mobility Support Advisory Squadron BOGOTA, COLOMBIA - -- Aerial port, airfield operations, command and control and load planning. These were several topics on which Airmen from the 571st Mobility Support Advisory Squadron and Colombian Air Force exchanged ideas during the airbase deployment preparation portion of the Air Mobility Command's Building Partner Capacity mission in Bogota, Colombia, March 7-16. The two-week BPC mission gave the United States Air Force an opportunity to build and strengthen relationships with the Columbian air force so that they could come together in the future for important operations such as countering transnational organizational crime, humanitarian and disaster relief, supporting peacekeeping operations, training and exercises, multinational engagements and supporting human rights throughout the Western Hemisphere. The 571st MSAS worked side-by-side with Colombian partners to ensure the success of the largest combat and mobility deployment exercise in the Colombian air force's history. The MSAS partnered with the Colombian air force for the safe planning and loading of equipment and maintenance supplies. The successes of this most recent combined exercise strengthened the U.S. and Colombian partnership and set the stage for the eventual deployment to Nellis AFB, Nevada. During this upcoming deployment, the Colombian Air Force plans to send eight Kfir fighters, two Boeing 727 transport aircraft, and two Boeing 767 tankers to RED FLAG in July. They are using a building block approach to develop their expeditionary capability. "When I think of the RED FLAG exercise the first word that comes to my mind is 'challenge,'" said Staff Sgt. Angel Ortega, 571st MSAS air advisor. "RED FLAG presents a challenge from a flying perspective and a logistical perspective. You need to get your forces to Nellis Air Force Base safely to show off your aerial expertise." The team also traveled to three Colombian air bases during the two-week engagement. The MSAS team was able to share safe ramp practices and learn alongside other aerial porters, loadmasters, aircrew and logisticians. "Along the way I learned that when our Latin American partner nation's capability is enhanced, our nation's security is too," said Tech. Sgt. Matthew Trissel, 571st MSAS air advisor. "I came away with a spirit of admiration and respect for our Colombian allies." Another topic discussed was the importance of correctly determining aircraft center of gravity. This will enhance the operational safety of the Colombian air force's different airframes while maximizing the allowable cabin load of each aircraft. Load planning was just one of the missions the 571st MSAS focused on to help further Colombia's air mobility system. Just as important as the load planning mission was the mutually beneficial interaction focused on safely restraining pallets and rolling stock. The team exchanged methods for restraining loads using nets, straps and chains. By working together innovative approaches were developed for common problems. "It is my hope that this mission served as the starting point to an ongoing partnership," said Maj. Gary Symon, 571 MSAS air advisor and Colombia mission commander. "In order for our countries' militaries to cooperate on mutual security concerns, engagements like these are necessary to establish the necessary trust and understanding." This BPC mission will make the U.S. Air Force more efficient and will also benefit the Colombian air force. Through MSAS, the U.S. is able to build stronger international air force cooperation, interoperability and mutual support. When a crisis or contingency operation occurs in the future, the U.S. and Colombia will be better prepared to respond together. This mission will help serve as a springboard to finding collaborative solutions to regional challenges. | aerospace |

They believe that Russian air attacks will remain limited as winter deepens.
In its latest intelligence update, the Minstry of Defence in London said: “In recent months, the number of sorties conducted by Russian tactical combat aircraft over Ukraine has reduced significantly. Russian aircraft now probably conducts tens of missions per day, compared to a high of up to 300 per day in March 2022.
“Russia has now lost over 60 fixed-wing aircraft in the conflict, likely including an additional Su-24M FENCER fighter-bomber and a Su-25 FROGFOOT ground attack aircraft last week.”
The briefing continued: “The decrease in sorties is likely a result of continued high threat from Ukrainian air defences, limitations on the flying hours available to Russian aircraft, and worsening weather.“
Comment: “All weather” is a relative thing. Pilots know that their chances of survival decrease as the weather gets worse and worse. This is one of the many reasons why artillery is such a friend to the PBI (poor bloody infantry). Artillery shells are not deterred by weather, dark of night, etc.
Ukrainian air defenses? Sure, but I would put my money on the weather being the biggest factor in this. pl | aerospace |

Yamal-402 satellite reaches geostationary orbit - Gazprom Space Systems
MOSCOW. Dec 15 (Interfax-AVN) - Thales Alenia Space (Cannes, France), the manufacturer of the Yamal-402 satellite for Gazprom Space Systems, has carried out the fourth and the final maneuver to place the satellite into a planned geostationary orbit, Gazprom Space Systems told Interfax-AVN on Saturday.
"Thales Alenia Space, the Yamal-402's manufacturer, successfully carried out the fourth and the final maneuver this morning. It was the shortest one, and it lasted about 20 minutes," it said.
Thales Alenia Space earlier devised a plan for transferring the satellite from a geostationary transfer orbit to the planned geostationary orbit by firing the satellite's apogee kick motor four times instead of the previously planned three firings.
The orbit placement sequence had to be adjusted after the Briz-M upper stage manufactured by the Khrunichev Space Center failed to place the satellite into the planned orbit. During the fourth firing, its sustainer engine stopped 4 minutes earlier than was planned.
"Hence, the Yamal-402 satellite has reached a geostationary orbit. After that, the satellite's solar panels and the aerial dish should be fully deployed," a Gazprom Space Systems spokesperson said.

It seeks to put a vehicle buggy unmanned on the Moon by 2012, which lay the foundations for their maximum ambition of putting a man on the natural satellite. In October 2003, China became the third country that launches a man into space with its own rocket, after the former Soviet Union and United States. The Asian power sent in October 2005 two additional astronauts on a five-day flight in his spacecraft Shenzhou VI. China launched its third manned in September space mission, and released a live recording of their first spacewalk, which captivated the nation. His first probe lunar, Chang e-1 satellite, named after a mythological lonely goddess who lives on the Moon and longs for her husband, it concluded its mission last month after orbit thousands of times the Earth satellite. China will send a probe and a buggy Lunar near 2012, reported the Beijing News daily, citing State television. Before the lunar probe, China will send Chang e-2 satellite to complete another mission around the Moon, said CCTV.
China said its lunar mission would include three steps of orbit, landing and returning, but so far has not revealed any manned lunar mission scope, impact on the other hand program also exists, a serious concern for us, as americaeconomia.com, outlines the growing influence of China in Latin America. You don’t want or imagine the consequences of a possible contagion of Communist ideology to the countries of the subcontinent, many of them led by left-wing governments like Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia or Uruguay. And even less the effect on its economy of a commercial Alliance fruitful with these Nations. Finally, after they are exports to Asian countries, primarily to China, those who are pulling their GDP. Faced with this situation, Washington has opted to trivialize the economic benefits of a rapprochement between the continent and the Asian giant. | aerospace |

The Armed Forces spokesman, Brigadier General Yahya Sarie, revealed in his press conference , Sunday, the extent of the accomplishments of the Air Force, missile force, and air defenses during the year 2019.
“Our forces successfully responded to more than 1,226 military operations of the aggression coalition and its mercenaries,” Brig. Sarie said.
He noted that the number of military operations carried out by the army forces and popular committees in 2019 reached 1686 operations along the theater of combat operations, the most notably the operation of liberating areas in Dhalea province, “Nasr Min Allah” operation in its first and second stages, and a large military denomination that has not been announced.
The spokesman indicated that the year 2019 witnessed the announcement of various military industries, including ballistic missile systems that entered service for the first time and achieved great successes.
The armed forces succeeded in developing the drone weapon during the year 2019, which strengthened its presence on the battlefield level by implementing dozens of qualitative offensive operations that targeted the enemy military installations inside and outside Yemen.
Brig. Sarie explained that the attack ability of the drone weapon had doubled by 400% more than it was in the previous year.
He pointed out that the drones operations during 2019 reached 2426 operations, including 2,087 reconnaissance operations.
The spokesman said that that 2019 was the year of the winged missiles that became an important part of the Yemeni missile arsenal and one of the most important weapons of strategic deterrence for the armed forces.
The total missile force operations during 2019 reached 110 operations, he added. He indicated that the map of the missile force’s targets in the same year included the military centers, concentrations, and installations of enemy inside and outside the country.
The year 2019 witnessed the completion of an important foundational stage in terms of building the air defense forces and activating the defense systems.
In this regard, the army’s spokesman indicated that the air defense operations, during 2019, led to the downing of 69 aircraft belonging to the aggression forces, including seven combat aircraft and nine low reconnaissance planes and 53 spy planes. | aerospace |

It increases the ship-launched Harpoon missile's range from the Block II's 70 nmi (81 mi; 130 km) to 167. 5 nmi (192. 8 mi; 310. 2 km), along with a new lighter 300 lb (140 kg) warhead and a more fuel-efficient engine with electronic fuel controls. Boeing offered the missile as the U. S. Navy's Littoral Combat Ship frigate upgrade over-the-horizon anti-ship missile as a cost-effective missile upgrade option; complete Next Gen Harpoons would cost approximately as much as a Block II at $1. 2 million each, with upgrades for an existing missile costing half that. The version is also called the Harpoon Block II + ER. Boeing claims the Block II+ ER is superior to the Naval Strike Missile through its improved turbojet giving it greater range and active radar-homing seeker for all-weather operation, as well as a lighter but "more lethal" warhead. Test shots in 2017 had been confirmed. In May 2017, Boeing revealed it was no longer offering the upgraded Harpoon for the frigate OTH missile requirement, but would continue development of it. | aerospace |

WeRobotics and WFP have been coordinating drone teams since September to map the Caribbean countries devastated by the recent hurricanes including Barbuda, Saint Martin, Dominica, and Puerto Rico among others. The resulting drone imagery, available on OpenAeriaMap, plays an invaluable role in supporting the recovery efforts across the region. As these efforts will continue for many more months, we welcome regular imagery updates from qualified drone pilots. Said pilots must follow the code of conduct for humanitarian drone missions in addition to aviation regulations in the Caribbean.

The satellite will deliver high-speed inflight connectivity and high-powered data services over the Americas and the Atlantic Ocean.
SES-17 is the 53rd satellite entrusted to Arianespace for launch by the company.
Weighing more than six metric tonnes at launch, it will be among the 10 largest telecom satellites launched by Arianespace since the company’s founding.
The satellite built by Thales Alenia Space is fitted with an electric propulsion system for orbital positioning and station-keeping; its payload comprises 200 Ka-band spot beams; the orbital position of the spacecraft has not yet been disclosed.
Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer of SES, said: “SES and Arianespace have developed an exceptional partnership over the past 30 years.
“With this launch, we build on that relationship and underline our commitment to the European space industry.
“Together with today’s agreement with Arianespace to launch another four spacecraft of our O3b constellation on Soyuz in 2019, we are satisfied to conclude two important contracts with Arianespace giving us the necessary and reliable access to space that we need to further develop and drive our business.”
Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace, said: “This latest contract reflects the excellent relations built between Arianespace and SES over the past three decades. Our order book speaks for itself, with now 10 satellites to be launched for SES by 2021.
“We are honoured to have been selected for the launch of the new-generation SES-17 – an impressively sized, all-electric satellite – which shows Arianespace’s ability to adapt to customers’ evolving requirements.
“The company’s continued trust in Arianespace is a clear demonstration that our Ariane 5 heavy-lift launcher is keeping pace with these changing technologies, prior to the advent of our new-generation Ariane 6 launch vehicle – for which discussions are under way to serve future missions.” | aerospace |

Photo: NASA
JAKARTA – Discourse of humans settling on Mars already exists, it takes 7 months with a distance of 480 million kilometers. However, if a spacecraft wants to reach the planet Neptune, it will take dozens of years.
This is because Neptune is the most distant planet from the sun, and the last planet of the solar system.
Space travel is often told in various science fiction films, where a person is able to travel through space quickly and even in just a few minutes or hours.
Of course, what is presented in the film will be different from the reality. Because until now space travel is still a thing
expensive and difficult experiments to perform.
Especially trips to reach outer planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, with a distance of billions of kilometers.
Travel Time from Earth to Neptune
However, to answer the curiosity of many people, NASA has provided an explanation of the distance and travel time to all the planets in the solar system.
NASA reveals that the journey from Earth to Neptune will take 18.3 years, or 6,696 days, or 160,714 hours.
Neptune itself is indeed the outermost planet in the solar system. The distance from the sun to Neptune itself is more than 4.5 billion kilometers.
This distance is farther than other outer planets such as Jupiter which is 780 million km away, Saturn with 1.4 billion km, and Uranus 2.8 billion km.
This conclusion was drawn based on the calculation of the distance from Earth to Neptune divided by the speed that allows it to be used in outer space.

Applications range from military use for fighting terrorists to aerial photography to recreational use by hobbyists and even Amazon has announced it would like to start using them for package delivery. Imagine being able to deliver packages in dense urban areas without having to worry about traffic or parking. Now imagine that instead of delivering your nephew’s birthday present, the drone is delivering something much more critical…medical care.
Before you scoff at the idea, let me share a quick scenario. | aerospace |

My "special leave" from regular duty expired on Sunday 25–April–1948. The following day I resumed my duties back at Air Force Headquarters Ottawa.
The Directorate of Intelligence that I was then associated with was still located in "A" Building of the Headquarters complex.
The focus now was resuming my training in the Intelligence field. The R.C.A.F. arranged a course for me to take at THE PENTAGON in Washington DC. I left for Washington 18–Aug–1948.
From 19–Aug–1948 to 13–Nov–1948 I was posted to CIS Washington (Seep). I worked out of (R.C.A.F.) F/L Wattie's office in room 3E180 of The Pentagon when I was not attending courses.
My Strategic Intelligence School course was cryptically called "course 8" and was put on by the
Intelligence Division General Staff. It lasted from 23–Aug–1948 to 12–Nov–1948.
Bea and I really liked Washington D.C. during out time there. It was one of our favorite postings. Bea was particularly impressed with the blooming of the cherry blossoms.
I returned from my course on 14–Nov–1948. I would remain in Ottawa as essentially a staff officer doing ‘routine analysis and follow–up’ with the Directorate of Air Intelligence until 5–Jan–1954.
While in Ottawa I started flying again out of R.C.A.F. Station Rockcliffe. I assumed the navigator role. From 1949 until the end of 1953 our aircraft progressed from Beechcraft, to B–25 then C–45, to C–47 aircraft. We would go to various locations across Canada; Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton, Winnipeg and so on.
Flying out of R.C.A.F. Rockcliffe during this period I�d accumulated some 320+ hours. I was very pleased with this.
Bea and I were living at apt 201, 474 Wilbrod, Ottawa. My son Ralf was born in Ottawa during this posting.
A number of other ‘events’ of note took place during this time period.
Even though I had been promoted to Flying Officer October 1947 a ‘minor issue’ remained that I had not formally taken the Flying Officer exams! I did this towards the end of 1949 and passed.
On 1–Oct–1949 the Air Force altered my status from "short (5 year) service commission" to "permanent commission". I was very happy with this. I still retained the rank of Flying Officer.
I was promoted to Flight Lieutenant effective 1–January–1950.
The Air Force decided in early 1950 that they wanted me to attend the SAC Survivor School Advanced Training Course held at Camp Carson (near Colorado Springs) Colorado.
The R.C.A.F. had volunteered my presence to provide the instructors of this newly instituted course, feedback on course relevancy and opportunities for improvement.
I attended the advanced Survival Training course between 21–Aug–1950 and 3–Sept–1950. By the way, I passed and was also able to pass along some suggestions to the training staff.
Some background as to objectives of the aircrew survival training course are as follows:
These courses had been initiated by Commander in Chief of Strategic Air Command (SAC), General Curtis E. LeMay.
Convinced of a critical need for escape and evasion program for SAC LeMay believed that with the proper training in environmental and situational survival, the Air Force could decrease aircrew member losses during conflict. He was especially interested in the Resistance Training – based on the negative experiences of US pilots and other GI's captured in Korea.
General LeMay directed the establishment of a mountainous terrain survival school at Camp Carson, Colorado on 16 Dec 49. The area around Camp Carson had been chosen because the surrounding terrain resembled certain areas of military interest in the Soviet Union.
Training began on 1 April 1950. Initially, the school was operated by the 3904th Training Squadron of Strategic Air Command. The faculty and staff were a cadre of survival specialists gathered from US Air Force, Army, and reserve sources.
As mentioned the course provided survival, evasion, resistance, and escape training. Instruction concentrated on the principles, techniques, and skills necessary to survive in any environment – but in particular mountainous environments– and return home. Training was provided in post ejection procedures and parachute landing falls, various life support of equipment procedures, and survival medicine. Additional training included shelter construction, food scavenging and preparation, day and night land navigation techniques, evasion travel and camouflage techniques, ground–to–air signals, and aircraft vectoring procedures. There was classroom training on the physical and psychological stresses of survival.
While I was at the course Bea went to a "dude ranch" just outside of Colorado Springs. She had a great time and I was able to join her for a few days just after the course ended.
As with the Flying Officer exams, the Air Force had been a bit remiss in not having me take the formal Flight Lieutenant Qualifying exams before making the promotion.
I took these exams early 1954.
This was the first failure of note I had had in Air Force. I was not pleased. I just didn't get the testing regime and had problems formulating essay type responses to hypothetical questions. My grade 10 education was coming back to haunt me. I was too involved now in my career to go back to school. I would simply have to learn to swim on my own with the Kingston / Royal Roads and similarly educated colleagues who had been smart enough to complete their education.
I would take the exam again and pass it this time.
Moving into late 1953 the R.C.A.F. set out a long range plan for utilizing my Intelligence training.
It was a fairly detailed defined career path.
I was to be sent out to maritime patrol training at Summerside, PEI followed by embedded participation in a Maritime Patrol base at Comox, Vancouver Island, I would then be sent to my final target destination of West Coast HQ for the Navy at Esquimalt Vancouver Island. There I would be the R.C.A.F. liaison officer funneling aerial reconnaissance intelligence and associated analysis of foreign shipping (especially military) off the west coast to the navy. My last day at R.C.A.F. HQ in Ottawa was 5–January–1954.

AFWERX Vegas, a catalyst for innovation within the Air Force, gave attendees the tools to drive growth and shift paradigms during AFWERX Fusion Xperience, a two-day conference and technology expo at Enclave Las Vegas. The public event combined insightful presentations and workshops with demonstrations of cutting-edge technology to showcase AFWERX’s mission of problem-solving through collaboration and innovation.
Maj. Gen. Bradley D. Spacey of the U.S. Air Force put it best, “Our job is to build the structure and culture of innovation. We have to convince and teach innovators that their innovative ideas are scalable and reachable.” He continued, “The most junior people within the Air Force may have the most knowledge, but don’t have the authority to take their innovations to the next level. We aim to change that.”
Enticing activations throughout Enclave demonstrated AFWERX Vegas’ commitment to innovation. Upon entering the space, attendees were immersed in a tech-forward setting with humanoid robots on display from UNLV and a competitive robot anyone could challenge to a game of Perfection. Attendees began networking and making new connections underneath laser-projected logos in the lobby and logged on to the Fusion Xperience mobile app to lay out their schedule for the event.
Keynotes and Speakers
Brian Maue, CEO of AFWERX, provided opening remarks and introduced attendees to the Fusion Xperience with the goal of bringing together small businesses, entrepreneurs and academia to source innovative solutions for the Air Force. The first collection of keynotes from Lt. Gen. Jerry Harris of Headquarters Air Force and John Bunch of Zappos illustrated the need for innovation across government and commercial entities and how the two can work together.
The theme of spurring innovation continued with Jeff Schumacher, CEO and Founder of BCG Ventures, who provides a unique take on venture capital by both inventing and investing. His tools for success are based around his concept of solving frictions, or addressing specific problems. Friction drives growth and companies should be on the lookout for what pain points within a market they have the ability to alleviate.
Jason Korman spoke to instilling innovation within an organization by initiating culture change. In order to do this, the set beliefs and mindsets of the group must be articulated and visualized for stronger association and connection. As CEO and Co-Founder of Gapingvoid, Korman utilizes graphics and art to help convey these ideas and start a social narrative. Korman emphasized culture change comes from socializing with a purpose, and organizations must work from both top down and bottom up to make a difference.
During the most crowded session of the first day, attendees packed into the spacious Madrigal Room to hear perpetual entrepreneur and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell deliver anecdotes about his failures and success from the creation of Pong to his current venture, a free-roaming VR company dubbed Modal. His advice for the audience was to always look out for new projects, because habits aren’t good for the brain. Being forced to do things that may seem impossible can provide invaluable learning experiences.
In the exposition hall at Enclave, 60 teams from the AFWERX Fusion Challenge demonstrated unique technologies to advance perimeter security for Air Force applications and beyond. The concepts, ranging from new ideas to commercially available products, approached the problem of perimeter security from all different angles. From camera swarms to attack drones to flexible body armor, each innovation was selected by nation-wide subject matter experts from an applicant pool of more than 180 to exhibit at the AFWERX Fusion Xperience. In addition to live demonstrations at their booths, teams were given five minutes to pitch their technology on stage in front of the crowd. Conference attendees were also given a voice through the Fusion Xperience app, where they could rank their favorite ideas. At the conclusion of the event, a team of military security experts selected the top 10 teams to receive a “Fusion Ticket” which allows them access to funds, coaching and the AFWERX Vegas facility to further develop their innovation with the U.S. Air Force and AFWERX. The final teams selected were:
- Zenith Aerospace
- Easy Aerial Inc.
- 14bis Supply Tracking
- AFRL’s “Flexible Body”
- Citadel Defense Co.
- Air Force Research Laboratory
- Soar USA
- Protective Innovations
- Rozin Security
- AFRL’s “On Demand UAS”
Also part of the Fusion event was fusion taking place with other organizations contributing towards innovative solutions for the Air Force. SOFWERX held the final phase of its ThunderDrone RPE III competition seeking out the next level of counter-drone technology. Out of more than 100 teams who entered the competition, five were selected to test their solutions at the Nevada Test & Training Range. Live demonstrations from each participant were shown on the massive screen in the lobby while the action took place on the third floor of the venue. The winners, Team Dedrone, fused radar and acoustic systems to develop a drone defender gun, which can ground enemy drones without causing damage. The winners received $300,000 for 1st place, $200,000 for 2nd place and $100,000 for 3rd place.
Established in 2017 by the Secretary of the Air Force and reporting to the Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force, AFWERX is a catalyst for agile Air Force engagement across industry, academia and non-traditional contributors to create transformative opportunities and foster an Air Force culture of innovation. The core mission of AFWERX is to improve Air Force capabilities by connecting innovators, simplifying technology transfer and accelerating results. | aerospace |

The Reshetnev Company has taken part in one of the world’s largest aviation and space exhibitions – Farnborough International Airshow.
During Farnborough-2014 which was traditionally held in London on July 14-20, ISS-Reshetnev demonstrated to the global business community its recent advances and new promising developments in the field of space science and technology.
The company showcased models of satellites that had been built around its advanced satellite platforms: a data-relay satellite of the Loutch family, a powerful telecommunications satellite Express-AM5, a small scientific satellite Yubileiny and a next-generation navigation satellite Glonass-K. As well as that, there also was a full-scale model of Gonets-M satellite on display. Designed and produced by ISS-Reshetnev, these satellites are intended for Russia’s multifunctional LEO system for personal communications GONETS-D1M.
Signing a framework agreement with SODERN, a French company that has been delivering high-tech optical sensors for ISS-Reshetnev’s satellites for more than 15 years to date, became one of the key moments of the busy week at the Farnborough Airshow. These instruments are integral part of almost every satellite as they are used for satellite attitude determination.
“Having signed this framework agreement, we specified a long-term supply plan of instruments for each of our projects as well as negotiated and agreed on the price. By doing so, we demonstrated our commitment to maintaining and further developing our long-term stable partnership with SODERN,” said Nikolay Testoyedov, Director General of ISS-Reshetnev Company.
Nikolay Testoyedov led ISS-Reshetnev delegation at Farnborough-2014 and confirmed that the company had had a successful week. “We have met with our foreign and Russian partners. We have made everything we planned,” he added.
The Farnborough International Airshow is one of the world's most iconic global aviation and space industry events. It takes place once every two years in Great Britain and provides a platform for networking within the global business community and demonstrating the most recent advances in the domain. The Reshetnev Company regularly participates in the event. | aerospace |

Smithsonian Air & Space Museum • Posted on Aug 28, 2021
At the end of his 2011 Vice Adm. Donald D. Engen Flight Jacket Night presentation at the Museum, retired Navy Captain and warbird pilot Dale “Snort” Snodgrass exclaimed: “Livin’ the dream! I can’t believe I’m still doing it. Thirty-six years flying fighters!” And he didn’t stop there as he went on to help found and become chief pilot for Draken International, one of the largest adversarial training contractors for the United States military. Retiring from Draken, he began assembling his own Snort Air Force. Sadly, his dream came to an end on July 24, 2021, and one of the most highly regarded military pilots departed this airspace.
Livin’ the dream! I can’t believe I’m still doing it. Thirty-six years flying fighters!
Dale “Snort” Snodgrass – 717 Aviation
We said goodbye to Snort on Friday.
It was a beautiful ceremony for a truly wonderful man. He was a man among men. Many referred to him as a fighter pilot’s fighter pilot. While most called him Snort, I called him Dale. I loved this man far more than his persona.
Yes, he was as good, kind and humble as he appeared to be.
Today, as he was laid to rest, Snort didn’t allow it to be easy. Many of us were convinced he was there and doing what he loved to do. He challenged everyone to be their very best.
He toyed with his dearest friends flying the Missing Man with the worst weather imaginable. It poured from the heavens. Through most of the ceremony lightning bolts were striking the ground. Thunder clapped. There was even a distinctive cloud in the image of a jet. I expect it was an F14.
These are images a friend, Dave Tremblay, took at the Fort Stanton Veterans Cemetery in New Mexico. It is a beautiful place and where he had asked to be laid to rest.
It was all done as he asked it to be. Many will miss him but none more that I.
Remembering legendary pilot Dale Snodgrass killed in a plane crash at Lewiston airport
by JORDAN SMITH • Tuesday, July 27th 2021 • KLEW TV
LEWISTON, ID — A plane crash took the life of a retired U.S. Navy pilot, Dale Snodgrass, on Saturday afternoon just off the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport runway. Captain Snodgrass was in the aircraft alone.
Captain Dale Snodgrass was famously known in the aviation community and was a monumental figure, particularly when it came to flying the F-14.
In a decorated career, Dale ‘Snort’ Snodgrass was more than just a pilot, he was a celebrity with a witty sense of humor.
1978 Snodgrass attended Top Gun, the well-known Navy Fighter Weapon School where he mastered the F-14, and in 1985 he was awarded the Navy’s “Fighter Pilot of the Year.”
Tributes pour in for flying legend Dale ‘Snort’ Snodgrass after fatal crash Saturday at Lewiston airport
UPDATED: Sun., July 25, 2021 • By Joel Mills • The Lewiston Tribune
Tributes began pouring in from around the globe Sunday for Capt. Dale “Snort” Snodgrass, the legendary U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat pilot who died in a single-engine airplane crash Saturday at the Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport.
Retired Navy Captain and former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly called Snodgrass a “true legend” in a Twitter post.
“I had the pleasure of knowing him and even flying with him in an F-14 with a new flight control system with me in the backseat, which felt oddly appropriate,” Kelly wrote.
Recognition and respect also came from the U.S. Naval Institute, the International Council of Air Shows and countless other organizations and individuals Snodgrass’s life touched. Snodgrass was a frequent participant in air shows after his retirement from active duty, pleasing crowds worldwide with his flying skills. | aerospace |

During the 21st century, private sector innovation and competition have led to reduced launch costs as companies jostle for government and private space contracts.
According to Nature Journal, there were 180 successful rocket launches to orbit in 2022, which is the most ever for a single year, demonstrating the impact of privatisation on the space economy. 2023 is set to be a record year, with SpaceX alone intending to launch 90 rockets. This trend will continue into 2024 and beyond.
Privatisation and partnerships have contributed to the fall in launch costs
SpaceX is charging clients $67m per launch of the Falcon 9; its partially reusable medium-lift launch vehicle. Euclid, a space telescope, which was built and operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in July 2023.
This epitomises the growing importance of public-private partnerships to the development of the space economy. SpaceX has contracts with NASA worth billions of dollars to largely provide launch services, such as NASA’s Commercial Crew program to transport astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).
The privatisation of the space industry has allowed for a wider variety of choices in launch location and rocket size, which can be tailored toward a specific mission. However, with this increase in launches, there is also an increased risk of damage caused by space debris.

There is still significant risk associated with the space economy
Easier access to the space economy could exacerbate existing problems. For instance, with increased launches, there will be more debris in orbit, which could be remnants from previous space missions. The ESA estimates that there are one million space debris objects between 1cm and 10cm currently in orbit. These can collide with spacecraft and cause significant damage, especially at the high speeds at which they orbit the Earth.
Regulation has not managed to keep up with the development of the space economy
If spacecraft from different companies were to collide, it is not clear what the legal protocol would be.
The foundational text for space law is the Outer Space Treaty, which became effective in 1967. Regulation is becoming a more domestically led endeavour as countries can incentivise domestic space economy activity, but they may not address global issues affecting the space economy, like space debris.
Public-private partnerships and companies like SpaceX have propelled the space economy’s growth and contributed to a reduction in launch costs, making space more attractive and accessible for businesses. India’s successful landing on the moon has also generated substantial worldwide interest in space.
Humanity will also benefit from improved climate change monitoring and increased internet availability. However, forays into space do not come without risk. Space debris is a significant issue, and the lack of uniform regulation means that investments could become fruitless. | aerospace |

The flight (reported as flight number U 363) was carrying 44 passengers and 6 crew who were all fatally injured. Conflicting witness reports say the aircraft made either two or three landing attempts, and then hit the ground hard and burst into flames on its final approach.
The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations has published a list of all the passengers names, but this will not be reproduced here out of respect for the families.
Russia is generally considered to have a poor air safety record and accident investigators will be focusing on factors such as pilot error, weather, and technical problems whether these are by virtue of inadequate maintenance, or actual manufacturer issues. Some early indications are that there were instrument landing system unserviceabilities at the destination airport, which could have contributed to the accident. Investigators are considering criminal sanctions against the pilots, which is atypical in such situations around the world.
The aircraft itself, a 23 year old Boeing 737, registration VQ-BBN, was operating a domestic flight from Moscow. The aircraft was one which had seen service in both Europe and Africa before it came to Tatarstan Airlines.
Update 2 December 2013: Preliminary investigations by the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) in Russia have indicated a range of potential causes of the accident including the pilot’s inability (for as yet unknown reasons) to follow the standard landing pattern set out in relevant aeronautical documents.
It appears initially that the aircraft climbed when full thrust was applied on a missed approach attempt, and then the landing gear was retracted all while one of two autopilot systems was engaged. After this, the airspeed started to decrease and the crew started to hand fly the aircraft by pitching the aircraft down, which stopped the climb. The aircraft thereafter entered a steep nosedive and impacted the ground at significant speed. The preliminary analysis said no “single commands” were detected on the flight data recorder which would indicate failures of aircraft or engine systems or units, and also that maximum angles of attack were not exceeded during the flight (which would suggest the aircraft did not enter an aerodynamic stall).
The official investigation will continue.
Shine Lawyers has partnered with Russian law firm Eberg, Stepanov and Partners to offer help to the families of victims of the Tatarstan Airlines crash on 17 November 2013. Initially this will involve investigating where legal responsibility for the crash may reside and may progress, if needed, to representing families in litigation against the airline and/or other potential defendants.

However, experiments come with challenges of their own: Wind tunnel time, model design and manufacturing are cost-intensive. Sensors must be chosen and integrated to allow for measuring the relevant flow data without influencing the flow themselves.
Thus, the success of a test campaign largely depends on the experience of the experimenters and their ability to prepare, conduct and post-process the campaign.
Together with our project partners and our customer Airbus, NAVASTO contributed to the successful completion of a test campaign aimed at the validation of a novel high lift concept at near real scale. In preparation of the testing and on-site at the test facility at Tsagi, NAVASTO’s engineers supported the choice of sensors, the development of the test matrix and provided analysis of the test data, which aided to exploit the available test time efficiently.
The availability of complete and solid test data allows our customer to move forward with the development of cutting-edge airborne equipment. | aerospace |

(FOX 35 ORLANDO) - SpaceX is planning to launch a rocket on Thursday from Cape Canaveral.
SpaceX tweeted on Monday that they are now targeting Thursday, May 23rd for the Falcon 9 rocket launch from Pad 40 at Kennedy Space Center.
This launch was originally scheduled for Wednesday, May 15th. However, it was scrubbed and rescheduled for the next day due to excessive high-level winds. Thursday's launch was then scrubbed so that the rocket could perform a satellite software update and "triple-check everything again."
The launch is expected to take off from Cape Canaveral on Thursday, May 23rd. The rocket will carry 60 broadband communication satellites into space, known as Starlink.

The Senators from Colorado wrote a letter Tuesday, Sept. 27 saying that it was their understanding, that a review of the Space Command basing decision, was a task assigned to the Air Force.
In the letter, the Senators ask Kendall to address the potential costs of making Peterson Space Force Base the headquarters of Space Command, and also for a briefing prior to a final decision.
“The Air Force must assure Congress and the American people that the final decision is rooted in defensible evidence,” write Bennet and Hickenlooper. “A final decision must be based on the imperative to face rapidly evolving threats in space, especially in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s expansion of regional influence.

Forty-five years ago, at 12:33 AM Eastern Time, the last manned moon flight took off from Cape Canaveral.
It was a stunt from the get-go. Kennedy’s speech, setting a goal of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth, was a Trump-worthy brag. If we had failed, it would be laughed at today as just another empty promise made by a politician.
One man laid down the challenge and thousands of men and women carried out the promise.
But it was still a stunt. When Kennedy made his speech on May 25, 1961, Russian had put a man into orbit. We had not, although we had managed a sub-orbital flight. Atlas boosters were still blowing up on launch, so a smaller Redstone was used for Alan Shepard’s flight on May fifth.
NASA had only been in existence for three years. By any real or imagined yardstick, the Russians were far ahead in space.
By herculean efforts, NASA forged ahead through Mercury and Gemini. The fire aboard “Apollo One” set American efforts back significantly, and when launches began again, it looked like the Russians were going to land on the moon first.
There were Soviet problems however, particularly the repeated failure of their N-1 rocket. These doomed their attempt to reach the moon first, but NASA was not aware at the time.
NASA had problems of its own. The lunar lander was not ready when Apollo 7, the first actual manned Apollo flight, left for low Earth orbit in October of 1968. Only a year remained on Kennedy’s timeline, and the Soviets — we thought — were poised to land on the moon ahead of us. Something had to be done.
That something was the Apollo 8 journey to and around the moon, without a lander, for the Christmas season of 1968. We had been to the moon first (by an ad-man’s stretch of the truth), even if the Soviets became the first to land.
Apollo 9 tested the lunar lander in low Earth orbit. Apollo 10 (the most frustrating almost in human history) returned to the moon, deployed the lunar lander, and flew it to within wishing distance of the moon without landing.
Apollo 11 landed a man safely on the moon, and returned him safely to the Earth.
For the Soviets, the answer was to turn away from the moon. Their N-1 mega-rocket had failed, and their manned modules and lander were stored away. The Soviets began a series of long flights and space stations, studying space from low Earth orbit.
For NASA there were nine more Saturn V rockets waiting to launch Apollo 12 through 20. It didn’t turn out that way. Apollo 12 landed in a different part of the moon, Apollo 13 suffered and explosion, didn’t land, and barely made it home.
Even before Apollo 13, Apollo 20 was cancelled so its Saturn V could be used to launch Skylab. Even before Apollo 14 landed, Apollo 18 and 19 were cancelled. Why? Because it was a stunt from the get-go. Apollo 11 met the deadline. To coin-counting bureaucrats, that was enough.
For those of us who see space exploration as the future of humanity, Apollo 11 was only the beginning. Lunar exploration, a moon base, Mars. Venus — there should have been no end.
Bureaucrats did not agree. On Thursday, 1972, at 12:33 AM Eastern Time, the last manned moon flight took off from Cape Canaveral.

Despite the fact that the investigation was the most costly and largest one of its kind, many refuse the NTSB report. These conspiracy nuts often blame the US Navy or Air Force for firing a missile at the jet. There was low-quality film footage taken of the jet when it exploded, and they point to a streak below the jet which they swear must be the trail of a guided missile (and could not possibly be from a smoking chunk of the plane that fell off). There is of course no evidence to suggest that any missiles were involved in the accident. There is also no explanation of WHY the United States Navy or Air Force would shoot down a plane that, besides the fact it did crash, would have been just another typical transatlantic flight seen many times a day. | aerospace |

Last week, at the FAA UAS Symposium, the FAA unveiled the new Public Safety Tactical Beyond Visual Line of Sight (TBVLOS) waiver for first responders. The Tactical BVLOS waiver provides public safety professionals with permission to fly beyond visual line of sight when it counts most – in cases of extreme emergency.
“In a time of extreme emergencies to safeguard human life, first responders require the capability to operate their unmanned aircraft (UAS) beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) to assess the operational environment such as a fire scene at a large structural fire, to conduct an aerial search on a large roof area for a burglary in progress, or to fly over a heavily forested area to look for a missing person…,” says FAA guidance. “To support public UAS operators acting in an active first responder capacity, the FAA may approve “First Responder Tactical Beyond Visual Line of Sight” (TBVLOS) waivers to 14 CFR 91.113(b).”
Flight beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) can be absolutely critical to the safety of first response team. While BVLOS flight sometimes implies distance, in other situations it may mean flying on the other side of a tall building or around a corner in an urban environment.
In fact, as Chief Charles Werner, Director of DRONERESPONDERS Public Safety Alliance explains, there are many situation where remaining in visual line of sight for the remote pilot or visual observer places them in danger: in active shooter or hostage situations; hazardous material incidents which may include chemical, biological, or explosive environments; SWAT operations; search and rescue in hazardous terrain; bomb threats; fires; and more.
This Tactical BVLOS waiver was the culmination of over nine months of work largely spearheaded by a group of committed public safety drone professionals. Charles Werner and DRONERESPONDERS joined partners including York County Fire and Life Safety, Chula Visa Police, and the San Diego [UAS Integration Pilot Program] IPP to work with the FAA on establishing the framework for the waiver. (Additional guidance on applying for the TBVLOS waiver can by found on the DRONERESPONDERS website.)
While York County VA actually received the first BVLOS waiver, then called the “Close Proximity/Low Altitude or CPLA” Waiver, “the requirements were too stringent for other departments to follow,” explains Werner. The Chula Vista CA Police Department, Pearland TX public safety, DRONERESPONDERS and “a cadre of public safety departments” collaborated with the FAA to make the waiver easier to achieve for other departments.
“This was a learning process for public safety and the FAA regarding risks, mitigation and establishment of a safety culture,” says Werner. “Once the public safety community and the FAA understood each other’s needs, it became a collaborative effort with each working to find middle ground.”
“After 9 months of discussions, the TBVLOS waiver is now a reality and is one of the most significant achievements by the FAA for public safety,” Werner says. “The FAA has come a long way and have been fantastic to work with.”
As storms and wildfires rage in the U.S., enabling drones for public safety departments is more critical than ever. “Drones are transforming public safety operations by enhancing safety, improving operational effectiveness and providing real time situational awareness. Every public safety response agency must incorporate drone operations for high risk incidents to have all of the information to make the safest and most effective command decisions possible!” says Werner. | aerospace |

The company expects to complete the construction of the facility in August.
A satellite teleport is an earth station that functions as a telecommunications hub for connecting a satellite network with a terrestrial network to provide high-quality satellite communication services.
Companies such as Liquid Intelligent Technologies and Teraco also offer satellite teleport services in South Africa.
In a statement, Paratus says the new teleport marks another milestone in the company’s investment in its own infrastructure that will “deliver reliable and quality satellite connectivity to South African businesses and consumers, even when power outages occur”.
Paratus South Africa – part of the Pan-African Paratus Group – will build the group’s largest teleport and strengthen its diverse offering of satellite communications services, it adds.
ITWeb recently reported that Africa’s space economy is growing, with research predictions showing 23 African countries will have about 125 satellites in orbit by 2025.
Currently, 13 African nations are said to have satellites in space.
According to Spacewatch Africa, the African space industry was valued at $19.49 billion in 2021, and is expected to grow by 16.16% to $22.64 billion by 2026.
It says the African space economy employs over 19 000 people, with government being the biggest employer, with 11 000 staff members.
The report adds that African nations allocated a total of $534.9 million for space programmes in 2022.
In SA, satellite connectivity is expected to play a critical role in connecting remote and rural areas frequently shunned by fibre and LTE providers, which do not see the business case in investing in those locations.
Says Kallie Carlsen, MD of Paratus SA: “This project is important to our country, as well as our group. Built to conform to international standards, it will be the group’s largest satellite infrastructure project to date and is capable of hosting other providers’ and customers’ equipment, such as antennas and satellite hubs.
“The development of the teleport aligns closely with the group’s overall vision to transform Africa through exceptional infrastructure and service.
“Our investment in the new teleport comes at a critical time, because not only will we be able to ensure the highest quality connectivity, but we will also be able to provide even more services to customers who require a reliable connectivity solution, including during load-shedding.”
The teleport’s key features are:
- Dual redundant systems on all network infrastructure, from generators and backhaul to hosted environments.
- The Paratus backbone network allows connectivity to and from multiple countries via terrestrial and subsea fibre routes.
- Dual redundant fibre routes to two independent data centres in SA.
- Dual power feeds, including dual UPS and multiple generators.
- End-to-end management by Paratus SA.
According to the firm, satellite is the key primary infrastructure and connectivity for many businesses in SA that rely on crucial, always-on transactional data.
Paratus Group CEO Schalk Erasmus adds: “This teleport is a major investment for the group; it makes our offering in the region unequalled and confirms our strength for providing high-quality and seamless connectivity.” | aerospace |

These are intended to test technologies needed to provide broadband Internet access from orbit [bbc.com]:
SpaceX launched again on Thursday - this time to put a Spanish radar satellite above the Earth.
But there was a lot of interest also in the mission's secondary payloads - a couple of spacecraft the Californian rocket company will use to trial the delivery of broadband from orbit. SpaceX has big plans in this area. By sometime in the mid-2020s, it hopes to be operating more than 4,000 such satellites, linking every corner of Earth to the internet.
SpaceX projections show that the company expects its "Starlink" Internet service to have 40 million subscribers and $30 billion in revenue by 2025.
SpaceX also attempted to recover the $6 million payload fairing [theverge.com] (nose cone) of the rocket using a specially-built "catcher's mitt" net boat called "Mr. Steven":
After launching its Falcon 9 rocket from California this morning, SpaceX used a giant net to try to recover the rocket's nose cone as it fell down in the Pacific Ocean. The first-time experiment failed, however: one of the pieces of the nose cone missed the net, which was attached to a ship, and landed intact on the sea surface instead.
[...] A typical rocket fairing doesn't have any onboard engines, however. So SpaceX has equipped its latest nose cone with a guidance system and thrusters, tiny engines that help guide the pieces through the atmosphere when they break away from the rocket. Then, as the pieces descend, they deploy thin parachute-like structures known as parafoils to slow their fall. Down at the surface, a SpaceX boat named Mr. Steven (a random name, Musk said [twitter.com]) attempts to catch one of the fairing pieces with a giant net attached to large claw-like appendages.
SpaceX has been able to land its fairings in the ocean before, but this was the first time the company deployed Mr. Steven to catch one of the pieces. Musk noted that a fairing half missed the boat by a few hundred meters. However, the company should be able to fix the problem by making the parafoils bigger, he said. | aerospace |

Air defense planners in Taiwan face a daunting challenge. They need to have
enough capacity to deter China, which not only has a large military but, more importantly, for the past 25 years has spent heavily on modernizing that force. In modern warfare, air dominance is important in its own right, but it also enables other types of military operations by land and sea forces.
Thus an important capability for Taiwan is to be able to contest China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) air dominance. In the past, Taiwan’s fighter aircraft have been the mainstay of their air defenses, and in the future these aircraft will command most of the air defense budget. But China has found ways to put those aircraft in check, making them an expensive luxury in Taiwan’s defense budget.
Taiwan should begin to think beyond an air defense that relies so heavily on its fighter aircraft. Surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) would offer greater defensive capabilities and are a better investment moving forward. [FULL STORY] | aerospace |
