This report first explains the goal of our project and design requirements we put in place to have the best chance of success. The main requirement of the project is to build an airplane then fly three laps around a course by the end of the semester. Major geometries of the aircraft were also set. The wingspan would be five feet, the desired cruise speed would be 40 mph, and the estimated weight would be 6 pounds. Next more detailed design choices were made. Due to stall characteristics an SD7062 airfoil was selected for the wing. A taper ratio of 0.4 was selected, an aspect ratio of 6.68 was calculated, and an incidence angle of three degrees was selected to minimize drag. A fuselage design with a circular cross section and a length of 45 inches made from lightweight PLA was then explained. 32 different propulsion systems were analyzed, with the best scoring system being a Badass 3515-580 motor with a 13×5.5E propellor. The landing gear configuration was selected to be a taildragger to allow for more pilot control while on the ground. Carbon fiber spars were then selected, designed to be inside of the main wing, and giving the wing structure a factor of safety of 3.17 at a maximum stress flight condition. Finite element analysis was used to confirm these results. Tail design and stability analysis were then completed. Using a static stability analysis, the vertical tail and horizontal tail size was designed to be 0.32 ft2 and 0.86 ft2, respectively. This tail design resulted in a statically stable airplane and dynamic stability values which were acceptable. To manufacture the aircraft, 3D printing was mostly used, but some sheet metal fabrication was used for the landing gear, and a carbon fiber layup was done as a final experimental aircraft. Most components could be assembled using epoxy or CA glue, but some needed to be bolted on, such as the landing gear. Flight tests were then explained. The first and second flights resulted in repairable crashes, and the third flight resulted in a successful mission completing well over the required three laps. The aircraft with a carbon fiber fuselage was tested later resulting in two crashes.
3D Interactive Product Model
The following is an interactive 3D model of the product design. You can view and rotate the product assembly in different orientations and views, including an exploded view to see the various parts that make up the assembly.

Italian HEMS AW139 Inadvertent IMC Accident
A leased Leonardo Helicopters AW139, EC-KJT, was operated by INAER Aviation Italia (a Babcock company) from L’Aquila in the Abruzzo region of Central Italy to provide a daytime Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) service. It crashed into a mountain during a HEMS mission on 24 January 2017. The Agenzia Nazionale per la Sicurezza del Volo (ANSV) released their accident investigation report (in Italian only) in May 2018.
The Accident Flight
Operations Room 118 in L’Aquila made a telephone request for the helicopter to attend to a casualty at the base of the ski lifts at Campo Felice with a broken leg at 09:59 Local Time. According to a doctor on scene, they said that weather at the casualty’s location was better than the previous day, when a separate HEMS flight there had been abandoned.
The duty pilot was very familiar with the Campo Felice ski facilities, as he had picked up casualties there many times (twice in January 2017 for example). The helicopter took off from L’Aquila Preturo airport at 10:06. On board was the single pilot and, in the cabin, a HEMS Technical Crew Member (TCM, i.e. a trained aircrewman), a mountain rescuer, a doctor and a nurse.
Apart from the ski centre & hotel and the SS696 road in the valley, the terrain was blanketed in snow. Out bound the aircraft followed the SS696. En route to Campo Felice, near the town of Lucoli, the helicopter encountered a weather front. The pilot circled, changed heading, initially slowed to 50 knots and then accelerated back to 100 knots. As the aircraft subsequently approached the pick-up point the crew discussed the poor visibility. Witnesses indicate visibility was reducing with fog that “came and went”, with a 50 m cloud base and 500 m visibility.
The aircraft however successfully landed at 10:16 and remained rotors running with only only the pilot aboard as the medics and TCM collected the patient.
The helicopter took off from Campo Felice at 10:23:21 and soon took a route away from the SS696 road. Shortly after take off the helicopter appears to have entered cloud based on CVR comments. Witnesses suggest that the weather had deteriorated further by this point. The TCM, who was in the cabin, seemingly queried if they should land. The helicopter made several heading changes. The TCM asked the pilot what his intentions were, getting the answer “Ehh, let’s see where we can get to … “.
The aircraft almost collided with terrain about this time (the minimum recorded radalt altitude was 24 feet). The impact was avoided and the aircraft climbed to 600 feet AGL and entered a turn. The torque values of both engines reached very high values (up to 144%) and remained very high and well beyond limits, never falling below 114%, until the final impact. After this escape manoeuvre, the helicopter flight is characterised by the ANSV as “one of significant instability of the main flight parameters”.
The helicopter then turned towards high ground and impacted against the south-west side of Monte Cefalone at c10:25:43, less than 2.5 minutes after take off.
The Pilot and Training
The pilot is described by his colleagues as a “serious professional”. At the time of the accident he had a total flight experience of 4674h, of which 3948h was on helicopters, 2748h as a helicopter commander. He had achieved 557h of instrumental flight and 694h night flight. In the prior 12 months he had carried out 9h 30’of IFR flight, of which 4h were in the simulator. In the prior 6 months he had made 2h of IFR flight in the simulator at the Leonardo Helicopter Training Academy in Sesto Calende (four times that required by EASA SPA.HEMS.130), which did include Inadvertent entry to IMC (IIMC). From then (15-16 September 2016) until the accident no other instrument experience was gained.
The ANSV comment the pilot’s recent training did not meet the requirements of EASA Part.ORO.FC.202 ‘Single-pilot operations under IFR or at night’. However night / IFR operation was not envisaged so this requirement did not apply. However, they highlight that HEMS missions “by their nature” have a higher risk of IIMC.
The pilot had flown exclusively from the L’Aquila HEMS base in recent months and worked a 7 days on / 7 days off pattern. He was on day 6 at the time of the accident. On the second day of the pilot’s duty period, 20 January 2017, the pilot (and TCM) had made four flights in response to the 18 January 2017 Hotel Rigopiano avalanche in which 29 died. On 19 January and, as mentioned earlier, 23 January 2017 flights had been abandoned in flight due to poor weather.
The ANSV say:
This was despite rapidly variable weather and predominantly mountainous territory at the L’Aquila base of EC-KJT. They add:
…it would have been numerically possible to assign at the HEMS base in Aquila one of the…AW139 helicopters authorized for HEMS and equipped with EGPWS.
The SPA.HEMS.140 regulation provides that the operator must ensure, within his process of analysis and risk management, that the risks associated with the HEMS environment are minimized, even through the helicopter’s level of equipment.
As the aircraft was airborne in 7 minutes of the call the ANSV conclude there was insufficient for an accurate assessment of the weather along the route (in particular they note there is a webcam positioned in the village of Lucoli). although it is possible the crew had already been examining weather in the local area. The investigators comment that the content of the call from the Operations Room 118 resulted in an “optimistic interpretation” of the meteorological situation present at Campo Felice.
The ANSV conclude the pilot had a “desire to complete the emergency medical transport mission despite the visibility conditions encountered”. The investigators highlight a number of cancelled or abandoned flight in preceding days due to weather that may have motivated pressing on, along with the pilot’s familiarity with the local area, which might have bred a degree of complacency. They also speculate that having been on the ground for 6.5 minutes to collect the patient, the pilot may have felt an urgency to depart immediately.
They note he proceeded “in conditions of visibility certainly marginal and probably below the minimum allowed by the Operational Manual and by the regulations in force for the flight in VFR” despite the TCM three times asking assertive questions during the short fatal flight. However, the ANSV say there is no indication the pilot applied the Operations Manual procedures for Inadvertent Entry into IMC (a 180° turn and climb).
After the first near collision with terrain, the ANSV believe it is “very likely that at this stage the pilot may have suffered from a spatial disorientation” during the avoidance manoeuvre and in particular, “the pilot’s vestibular system could have been suffering from an illusion, caused by the different accelerating components to which he was subjected, thus inducing the pilot to assume that he is in level flight instead of in turn a right”.
The ANSV query regulatory and Operations Manual ambiguity on whether the TCM should have been seated on the flight deck rather than in the cabin (in the AW139, as configured, it is not possible to move between the two in flight). They view it as being advantageous for the TCM to be seated on the flight deck, however there are undoubted advantages of a TCM in the cabin with the ability to open the door when manoeuvring in confined areas and assist in emergencies.
The accident was caused by the impact of the helicopter on the South-West slope of the Mount Cefalone in only partially controlled flight conditions.
Significant contributory factors:
- the rapid deterioration of the visibility
- the decision of the pilot to continue the mission once it has been realised that the visibility would not have allowed flight in VFR
- loss of situational awareness caused by probable spatial disorientation suffered by the pilot under IMC conditions
- the limited instrument training of the pilot to the instrumental conduct of the flight.
- the absence, in the cockpit, of the TCM, which deprived the pilot of better support
- ANSV-1 / 66-17 / 1 / A / 18 to ENAC: ANSV recommends supplying to Italian operators, in particular those engaged in HEMS activities, the appropriate clarifications regarding the correct [sic] application of the provisions of Part ORO.FC, ORO.FC.202 ‘Single-pilot operations under IFR or at night’.
- ANSV-2 / 66-17 / 2 / A / 18 to ENAC: ANSV recommends that operators be sensitized on the opportunities if the TCM takes the place of the co-pilot [and] the the functions deemed important to be carried out in the cabin are not carried out by the TCM, but by another appropriately trained person.
- ANSV-3 / 66-17 / 3 / A / 18 to ENAC: It is recommended that operators take appropriate consideration the equipment of the aircraft in their process of analysis and management of the associated risks to the HEMS environment and that ENAC is subject to assessment during surveillance on the operators.
- ANSV-4 / 66-17 / 4 / A / 18 to ENAC: ANSV recommends extending training requirements to OCC 118 staff specificity related to aviation, similar to what already provided, by the SPA.HEMS.135 (b), for ground personnel who collaborate with HEMS operations.
- ANSV-5 / 66-17 / 5 / A / 18 to EASA: ANSV recommends evaluating the possibility of providing tools for operators aimed at providing support to the decision-making activity of the commander and to carry out one supervision on the work of the crews, both in real time and later to carry out the HEMS mission.

The Pale Rider
It happened with the plane still outside the battle zone. Ground control knew the pilot was dying even before he realized it; human physiological interoception was no match for surgically implanted sensors and fast signal analysis.
Human reflexes and tactics were no match for software either, and the plane kept winning dogfights while its pilot died, and long afterwards. Its job done, it flew itself back to base.
The landing was flawless. An ambulance was already waiting to take the corpse to the base hospital, where he would later die of his wounds after a battle as courageous as the one he had just won, both grieving and inspiring an entire nation.

Discovery and its seven-member crew are preparing to return home tonight with landing planned for 1:03 a.m. Central time following a flight that will go into the books as the first docking of a shuttle with the International Space Station.
Weather permitting, Discovery's computers will ignite the twin breaking rockets on the tail just before midnight to slow the vehicle toward a descent through the atmosphere high above the Pacific Ocean. The ground track shows the orbiter navigating its way to its seaside home at the Kennedy Space Center from the south after crossing Costa Rica, Cuba, the Florida Everglades, and East of Lake Okechobee.
The forecast for landing still shows a chance of rain within 30 miles of the runway and a possibility of crosswind violations on the 3-mile-long concrete Shuttle Landing Facility. The runway of choice for tonight's landing is Runway 15. The final turn to align the shuttle with the runway would be out over the water with landing from the northwest to the southeast. If landing is delayed one orbit, touchdown one orbit later at 2:38 a.m. CDT.
Following crew wakeup at 4 p.m. today, the astronauts began the final preparations for landing, including closing the hatches to the Spacehab module, which has served as the cargo transfer compartment throughout the flight. The wakeup music was "The Longest Day," to commemorate what spacecraft communicator in Mission Control Mario Runco called a "landing of a different kind." His reference was to the 55th anniversary of the Allied troop landing on the beaches of Normandy during World War II that occurred on June 6, 1944.
If all goes as planned, Discovery's cargo bay doors will swing shut at 9:18 p.m., after which the astronauts will climb into their launch and entry suits and strap into their seats. Commander Kent Rominger, Pilot Rick Husband and Flight Engineer Ellen Ochoa will be joined on the flight deck for entry by Mission Specialist Julie Payette. Tammy Jernigan, Dan Barry and Valery Tokarev will be seated down on the middeck for entry.
If landing occurs on the first opportunity, Discovery will have covered 3.8 million miles during the mission. STS-96 will be the 11th shuttle mission to end in darkness. Five previous flights have ended at Edwards AFB in California and five at KSC.
The next STS-96 mission status report will be issued after landing. The next International Space Station status report will be issued on Thursday, June 10.

I think it depends how far you are going for something like exploring another solar system uncrewed would be the way to go atleast until the future just have computers do it however for the matter of our solar system crewed are definitely the way to go.
Radiation on Mars:
Clearly, the high level of radiation on Mars will present many problems for future manned missions, but radiation-contaminated water is not one of them.
The type of radiation present on Mars is not due to any radioactive materials present on the Red Planet, but is due to regular exposure to cosmic rays and solar wind, plus it receives occasional lethal blasts that occur with strong solar flares.
Contamination versus Exposure:
However, a body of water exposed to radiation is not necessarily contaminated with radioactive material.
For water to be contaminated, radioactive material must be present; either floating on or dissolved in the water. Since cosmic and solar radiation is delivered in the form of rays, it simply passes through the water and does not contaminate it or make the water radioactive.

Article by Luke Dormehl March 14, 2020 (digitaltrends.com)
• The United States launched Explorer 1, its first satellite, into space on January 31, 1958. Since then we have ramped up our reliance on these orbiting objects with every passing year. Today, there are over 2,000 active satellites in orbit belonging to both governments and private industry with more going up all the time.
• Three-star US Air Force Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan, who retired in July 2017, is worried about satellites. He’s not worried about the tremendously increasing number of satellites in Earth’s orbit. He’s worried about other nations’ capabilities to disable them or knock them out of orbit. Says Bogden, “Space is a new warfighting domain. Our job is to try and help the Department of Defense to become space warfighters.”
• One of the greatest threats to American satellite assets is the new ‘hunter-killer satellites’. These can fire jets of plasma to blast objects out of orbit. They are claimed to be useful in cleaning up space junk – shooting at an inactive satellite until it eventually disintegrates in the Earth’s atmosphere. But a hunter-killer satellites can also knock an active satellite from its designated orbit, rendering it useless. Bogden says that these hunter-killer have already been deployed by rival nations into space.
• Bogden is also concerned about foreign satellites getting too close to our satellites, or even smashing into them – called a “conjunction” of satellites. But hunter-killer satellites can also disrupt an active satellite by merely getting close to it, disrupting its maneuverability and its electro-magnetic field.
• Another threat involves anti-satellite missiles fired from the ground. China, India, and Russia have all demonstrated such weapons as a show of force.
• Knocking out satellites has the potential for massive damage. From a military perspective, satellites carry out worldwide sensing and imaging, and space-based communications, which are crucial for global voice and data communications on Earth. We also rely on satellites for GPS, or the global positioning system. Loss of these capabilities, says Bogden, could put America at an enormous ‘warfighting disadvantage’.
• For example, in January 2015, the US Air Force took just one of its GPS satellites offline. Somehow a fractionally wrong time was accidentally uploaded to the remaining satellites and caused twelve hours of severe problems. Global telecommunications networks were compromised. Police, fire and EMS radio equipment in parts of the US stopped working. BBC digital radio was knocked out for a couple of days for many people. And an anomaly was detected on electrical power grids. All from a time discrepancy of just thirteen-millionths of a second. If several satellites were disabled, it would be nothing short of a disaster.
• To avoid this type of scenario, we rely on a 1967 ‘Outer Space Treaty’ among Russia, Britain and the United States that provides guideline in settling disputes regarding the allocation of resources in space, and a 1963 treaty prohibiting nuclear explosions in outer space. But sixty years ago we didn’t consider space a ‘war-fighting domain’ as we do today. As Bogden says, “[W]e felt that no-one would [ever] threaten our space assets.”
• [Editor’s Note] Just like our electric grid and the internet, we are completely dependent on the 2218 satellites currently orbiting our planet (that we know of). And the world’s military and commercial titans are just starting to ramp up the number of satellites that will be deployed in the near future. The Pentagon has announced a National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA) satellite constellation consisting of seven layers of military capabilities. The first layer alone will deploy hundreds of satellites. (see Exoarticle here) The US, Russia and India all have its own GPS navigation system satellite constellations. (see Techworm article here) And one of the Pentagon’s NDSA layers will be an entirely new back-up GPS system. Yet all of these government satellites will be dwarfed by the commercial use of satellites in the future. Elon Musk alone plans to deploy up to 45,000 internet satellites in a SpaceX Starlink mega constellation. It’s no wonder that the Pentagon’s ‘first offensive space weapon’ is a ground-based satellite communications jamming system. (see The Drive/The Warzone article here)
Of course, this ‘modern’ anti-satellite weapons technology is primitive compared to what we truly have in space already, unknown to the vast majority of the world. It appears that the deep state will use a new military space race as their next Cold War distraction from what is really going on. Still, our inexorable encroachment into space only increases the odds that the secret space programs and the ubiquitous extraterrestrial presence will have to reveal itself to the world.
“The bottom line,” said retired three-star general Chris Bogdan, “is that we want to learn how to fight in space. Just as we know how to fight on air, land, sea, and, in some respects, in cyberspace. Space is a new warfighting domain. Our job is to try and help the Department of Defense to become space warfighters.”
Bogdan knows a thing or two about militarized combat. Over a 34-year career in the U.S. Air Force, Bogdan rose from a test pilot, flying no less than
30 different aircraft types, to the rank of lieutenant general. For the last five years of his career, before he retired in July 2017, he was program executive officer for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Program for the Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and 11 allied nations. He has one of those grizzled, no-nonsense voices which suggests that he has forgotten more about warfighting before breakfast that day than you’ve ever known in your entire life. On balance, that’s probably not a bad guess.
Right now, Chris Bogdan is worried about satellites. But not for the same reason that many people are. Recently, satellites have gotten a bum rap. Astronomers have sounded the alarm regarding the plan of individuals like Elon Musk to launch enormous, sky-blotting mega-constellations of satellites. Bogdan doesn’t seem to be so tied up in knots about extra stuff being shot into space, however. Instead, he’s far more concerned about the stuff that’s already in space being shot down. Or, at least, being tampered with.
He’s particularly uneasy about things called hunter-killer satellites, deployed by one of the United States’ “pure adversaries,” being used to screw with America’s network of “space assets.”
A new kind of threat
A hunter-killer satellite represents a new kind of threat. In a paper published in the journal Scientific Reports in 2018, researchers from the Australian National University describe a hunter-killer satellite that can fire jets of plasma to blast objects out of orbit. They suggested that such a satellite could be used to help clean up space junk; shooting it down until it eventually disintegrates in Earth’s atmosphere. But such a tool could be used for more malicious purposes as well. A hunter-killer satellite might damage or purposely knock off-course a crucial active satellite, thereby negatively impacting its ability to operate.
“What we’re most concerned about is what we call conjunction,” Bogdan said. “That’s a space term describing two things colliding in space. But you don’t need to actually hit something in space to affect it or reduce its capability. You can fly a hunter-killer satellite close enough to a satellite that you can disrupt maneuvering or its electro-magnetic field to do a host of different things.”
How far away from deployment does he think these hunter-killer satellites, developed by those who don’t have America’s best interests at heart, might be? “I believe they’ve already been deployed,” he said.

Goldin: Terrorists won't slow NASA
(CNN) -- At least one launch has been delayed because of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, but NASA administrator Daniel Goldin told employees on Thursday that the attacks would not stop the space agency's work.
The Kodiak Star launch from Kodiak, Alaska, was delayed by two days due to travel interruptions brought about by the attacks, according to NASA spokesman Bruce Buckingham at Kennedy Space Center. The launch now is set for September 19 at 9 p.m. EDT.
The Kodiak Star mission is made up of four small satellites that will be launched aboard a Lockheed Martin Athena 1 rocket. The launch will be the first orbital launch from the new Kodiak Launch Complex in Alaska.
Meanwhile, NASA headquarters in Washington reopened Thursday under heightened security. Goldin addressed employees in a gathering broadcast on NASA TV.
"This has been a very difficult time for all of us. We have witnessed a senseless tragedy of monumental proportions," he said.
Goldin assured employees that the terrorist attacks had not slowed the work of the space agency.
"Throughout these terrible days, NASA's work has continued," he said. "The international space station still is in orbit. Research continues. Telescopes continue to send us remarkable data."
He asked employees to be patient with increased security at NASA facilities.
"We cannot forget that there's still potential for further violence. It may not be over yet," Goldin said.
NASA employees return to work
NASA's 10 field centers also re-opened to all employees Thursday, NASA spokesman Brian Dunbar said. He said some employees were displaced by the ban on U.S. air travel.
"We're like everyone else affected by the grounding of the airlines," he said.
At Kennedy Space Center, the home base of NASA's shuttle fleet, all employees were allowed to return to work Thursday.
"After a shutdown of a day-and-a-half, we're calling employees to return to work," Buckingham said. He added that shuttles were being processed as planned.
There are no shuttles on launch pads. Three are in hangers. One, Endeavour, is in the Vehicle Assembly Building being prepped for launch on November 29.
The attacks in New York and Washington have not impacted a scheduled Russian launch to the international space station.
A docking station, called Pirs -- the Russian word for pier -- is scheduled for launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, at 7:35 p.m. EDT on Friday. It's expected to arrive at space station Alpha at 9:08 p.m. EDT on Sunday.

This Saturn 1B launch vehicle is on display at the rest area/Welcome Center as drivers southbound on I-65 enter Alabama from Tennessee. It is certainly one of the most imposing sights I've ever seen at an Interstate rest area. Huntsville is nearby and is the location where the three iterations of Saturn rockets were developed. This 1B had enough power for orbital missions with the Apollo spacecraft and lunar module. It towers 224 feet into the sky and is kept in place by a dozen massive guy lines. It weighs 92,500 pounds!
These eight engines powered the first stage of the rocket...
In 1972, the cost of a Saturn IB including launch was $55 million (inflation adjusted $ 288.7 million in 2012.)
Its successor, the Saturn V rocket, was 363 feet tall and eventually took astronauts to the moon.

India has been riding a wave of positive news in global media: outsourcing, economic boom, jobs, nuclear deal with the US etc. The failed satellite launch closely following the missile test failure is quite a serious set back for an emerging economic power. Wonder what caused these failures after years of successful similar efforts? Will this re-set India’s planned trip to the moon? Remains to be seen.

The importance of material properties. When it comes to lightweight alloys for vehicle recovery parts, it’s hard to beat Aluminum and Titanium. High strength, lightweight, ductility, corrosion resistance, and repeatable test performance are all of the qualities to look for.
Take a look at the attached chart showing the relative strengths versus weights of aluminum alloys and 6Al-4V titanium. We use 6061 and 7075 Kaiser aluminum alloys along with 6Al-4V titanium alloy for our winch shackle mount products. Of course, 7068 aluminum is the strongest of the aluminum alloys and is popular in the defense industry, but it’s cost-prohibitive in most cases. Instead, we use 7075 and simply add more material in the high-stress areas resulting in an equivalent strength with a bit more weight.
Have a safe and Happy Father’s Day!

The FAA said a jet was stopped and searched by state police at Logan International Airport this morning because one bag did not get proper clearance. The plane has been cleared, the FAA said.
TSA STATEMENT –
Out of an abundance of caution, a checked bag on board US Air #1716 (PHL-BOS) was re-screened at Logan International Airport upon landing after baggage handlers at PHL noted concern. The flight landed safely at BOS and passengers were deplaned and bused to their gate. TSA and the Massachusetts State Police responded. While properly screened by TSA at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the bag was re-screened by local EOD at BOS as a precaution and has been cleared.

Four distinguished pilots and a famous aviation artist will be inducted into the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame today at a banquet in Warner Robins at the Museum of Aviation. The five individuals are Lt. Col. Bert M. Atkinson, a World War I pilot from Newnan; Ed and Connie Bowlin, a husband and wife team from Griffin; Samuel A. Lyons, a renowned aviation artist from Woodstock; and Lt. Col. Earnest A. Shelton, a retired U.S. Army officer known as the “Cornerstone of General Aviation” at the Columbus airport.
Ed and Connie Bowlin have spent more than 30 years together pursuing their love of aviation and inspiring others to fly. Ed Bowlin took his first flying lesson at age 16 and served 15 years as a pilot in the Tennessee Air National Guard.
He then joined Delta Air Lines, where he met his wife Connie who was a Delta flight attendant. Connie Bowlin became a Delta pilot in 1974, the fourth female pilot in Delta’s history.
Tickets to the Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame banquet can be obtained by calling the Hall of Fame office at the Museum of Aviation at 478-328-0704.
The Georgia Aviation Hall of Fame was created by Georgia Gov. Joe Frank Harris in 1989 to honor men and women who made significant and lasting contributions to the advancement of aviation or manned space flight.
To date, there have been 79 individuals inducted into the Hall of Fame. Construction has been completed on a second-level mezzanine in the Museum’s Century of Flight Hangar for a new Hall of Fame display area.
An exhibits design group will put up the first new display panels in time for the 2009 banquet. The new exhibit area should reach completion later this year.

Since NASA officially called off its Artemis 1 launch on August 29th, the world has been looking forward to when next the space agency will commence with its space mission to visit the moon. NASA initially planned to launch the Artemis 1 megarocket from Kennedy Space Center on August 29.
But after NASA’s engineers discovered a temperature problem with one of the SLS booster’s core engines as the rocket is being fueled with propellant, the space agency has to call off the launch for safety reasons. After canceling the launch, the engineers worked tirelessly to troubleshoot the errors and prepare the megarocket for liftoff. The good news is that their hard work prepared the spacecraft for the next launch.
While troubleshooting the SLS engines on August 30, the engineers realized that one of the four RS-25 engines that fails to cool down properly was not a major technical issue. The proof of the fault was boldly displayed on the faulty temperature sensor attached to the faulty RS-25 engine. Since the issue was not a major issue, the team resolved the problem fast and then announced September 1, as the new date to launch the megarocket.
The team was also confident that the Artemis 1 megarocket liftoff will happen anytime soon. The engineers worked for two days in order to arrive at such a promising conclusion. During a press conference on September 1, John Honeycutt, who is the manager of the SLS program stated, “We have convinced ourselves without a shadow of a doubt that we have good, quality liquid hydrogen going through the engines. There’s no fuzz on that. We know we had a bad sensor.”
When Will Artemis 1 Mission Launch?
During a meeting session held on September 1, NASA Artemis 1 team finalized making the next liftoff attempt on Saturday, September 1. The megarocket will commence its journey to visit the moon from the Kennedy Space Center located in Florida.
The Artemis 1 team planned the launch to take place at a two-hour window which will open at 2:17 p.m. EDT or 1817 GMT. However, during a news conference briefing on September 1, Mike Sarafin, the Artemis mission manager stated, “There’s no guarantee that we’re going to get off on Saturday, but we’re gonna try.”
How Can You Watch the Artemis 1 Launch?
NASA will broadcast the Artemis 1 launch live on Youtube, Facebook, and other platforms. Aside from NASA, you can also watch the launch from other platforms such as space.com and other news platforms. After the Artemis 1 launch, you can also continue tracking the progress of the mission using this NASA newly built tool. You can see how to track the spacecraft from here.
NASA Artemis team announcing that the next Artemis launch is in September is already a great sign that we are getting closer to commencing on the journey to the moon. What do you think about the Artemis 1 Launch to visit the moon?

FRANKFURT -- BMW is teaming up with Lufthansa to promote its Vision iNext full-electric, highly autonomous car on a five-day tour through Europe, the United States and China.
The car will be flown around the world from Sept. 9 to Sept. 14 inside an adapted Boeing 777F plane from Lufthansa Cargo. It will be shown to the media at events in Munich, New York, San Francisco and Beijing.
The car will be displayed on a specially constructed platform inside the aircraft weighing 30 tons
Preparations for the presentations involve laying more than 7.5 km (4.6 miles) of wiring. About 78,000 LEDs in 165 video LED modules and ten 13,000 lumen projectors will light up a show inside the aircraft. Timings will be tight as the aircraft must be converted back to "flight mode" in just four hours following every stopover.
The iNext is BMW's mobility proposition for the future, so it's only logical that it should be presented to a global audience "in a fresh new style," BMW development chief Klaus Froehlich, said in a statement.

After a thorough investigation which included consultation with NASA, Russia is now pointing the finger to deliberate sabotage as causing a hole that created a dangerous oxygen leak on the International Space Station (ISS).
Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russian space agency Roskosmos, said on Monday that an official investigative report had confirmed their prior theory: “It concluded that a manufacturing defect had been ruled out which is important to establish the truth,” he said.
Damage to the craft first uncovered in late August while it was anchored to the International Space Station (ISS) alarmed engineers and raised suspicion of foul play — a possibility at first thought remote — but an air leak was initially thought to be the result of a micrometeorite colliding with the vessel.
Concerning the drill hole, the Russian space agency chief continued, “Where it was made will be established by a second commission, which is at work now.” The agency is now actively seeking the person or persons responsible for drilling the hole.
A report of the new findings in Yahoo news summarizes of prior suggestions that it was a mere accident or assembly defect:
Now it appears that isn’t the case, and that the hole was created specifically to cause problems for the crew. Who created it remains to be seen, but the Russian space agency is clearly taking this all incredibly seriously and whoever was responsible will likely face some incredibly stiff punishment.
An initial inquiry from early September, related in Russian media, had described the possibility of a “reckless assembly worker” reported to have made a manufacturing error that had possibly opened up further once in space. However, the latest formal investigation reveals the Russians believe the damage is far beyond a mere manufacturing error, and have thus dismissed the idea that it was accidental or an assembly error.
Previously a Russian space program source described to TASS news agency that “There are drilling traces not only inside the living module [of the ISS], but also on anti-meteorite plates.”
These plates have been described in media reports as “mounted outside of the station’s hermetic hull”.

In July 2009 the King Air C90GTx was unveiled at the EAA AirVenture at Oshkosh. The aircraft is remarkably similar to the GTi, except for the composite winglets which render significant performance improvements in maximum weights and payload. The King Air C90GTx is designed for up to seven passengers arranged in club style seating. The King Air passengers will appreciate the sense of size and sturdiness as they climb down the airstair. The private aft lavatory is standard on every King Air C90GTx at the rear of the cabin.

MOSCOW, November 17. The Russian defense Ministry has published on its website the video of massive air strikes with cruise missiles and bombs against the “Islamic state” Long range aircraft of the aerospace defence forces of Russia.
“All strikes are to explored in advance order”, – said the press service of the defense Ministry posted under the video.
Blows Long-range aviation
Earlier, defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin that from November 17 to the operation HQs of the Russian Federation in Syria to combat is prohibited in Russia as terrorist organizations involved Distant aircraft, in particular, the Tu-160, Tu-95MS, Tu-22M3.

As the aircraft of the Russian Federation helps to fight with terrorists in Syria
“In the destruction of the gangs, along with tactical aircraft operating from the airfield Hamim, further from Russian territory brought the Tu-160, Tu-95MS, Tu-22M3 Long-range aviation,” – said Shoigu.
“Today from 5:00 to 5:30 am UTC + 12 long-range bombers Tu-22 blows to objects of the terrorist organization ISIL in raqqa, from 9:00 to 9:40 strategic Tu-160 and Tu-95MS conducted 34 launches of cruise missiles of air basing on targets of militants in the provinces of Idlib and Allepo. Just the first day of a planned 127 sorties for the objects 206 to terrorists. Currently made 82 sorties, during which destroyed 140 of the gangs. The operation continues”, – he said.
The Minister noted that the subsequent massive air strikes will be applied in accordance with the reported plan of operation. “Enough forces and means”, – said Shoigu.
ABOUT THE OPERATION IN SYRIA
The Russian military launched operation against the militants “Islamic state” and “dzhebhat EN-Nusra” (organization banned in Russia) in Syria on 30 September, at the request of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. In the air group originally was comprised of more than 50 aircraft, including the su-34 and su-24M, su-25, su-30CM, Mi-8 and Mi-24. Also in operation in early October, were engaged by ships of the Navy of the Russian Federation, which struck at targets of terrorists cruise missiles of sea basing “the Caliber of NC” from the Caspian sea. To participate in a ground operation, Russia does not intend.

|How New Horizons shot through the Pluto System this past Tuesday morning. Its data gathering stage lasted several hours then it switched into transmission mode and "phoned home."|
In 2006 we shot New Horizons into space. It burned a lot of its fuel speeding up to a record 36,000 miles per hour, carrying the probe away from Earth on a trajectory toward Jupiter. Whereas it took the Apollo mission astronauts three days to get to the Moon, New Horizons made the trek in just nine hours and kept going. In 2007 we used Jupiter's gravitational force to burn a bit more fuel, slingshoting the space probe way out on a trajectory to rendezvous with Pluto, still some 3,000,000,000 miles away from Jupiter which was roughly 480,000,000 miles from Earth. It would take New Horizons another eight years to get to Pluto and when it arrived it would be going extremely fast. In the meantime it mostly hibernated.
We flew like a bullet through the Pluto System, with its moons in various places and phases. Our trajectory brought us inside the orbit of Charon, the largest and first known moon. Incredible video taken of the surface from about 48,000 miles up was released just a few days after New Horizons completed its Pluto flyby. At its closest the space probe was at an altitude of a mere 7,750 miles (that is what the countdown was all about back at the Tuesday morning celebration), but that only lasted a few seconds. At the speed New Horizons was getting it, the probe was over the surface only 3 minutes.
Now imagine that. In 2006 we shot off a probe and sent it roughly 3.5 billion miles over nine years and aimed it to within less than 10,000 miles of the orbiting target. It is an amazing example of our finest humanity. That wondrous achievement of rocketry and physics is broadened by the fact that we sent the ashes of the man who discovered Pluto in the 1930's. It is thus ritualized in our highest esteem. There is no scientific reason for delivery of the ashes far out to the Kuiper Belt - the furthest any human has ever traveled. A feeling about the mission caused that. And that is a cheerful, hopeful thing.
The first image we have of the Earth as seen from space was taken in 1946 while mounted on a V2 rocket Americans were experimenting with after World War Two. In 1964 a probe we launched photographed the Moon for the first time. Mars came in 1965. Venus in in 1973 by Mariner 10, which also shot the first closeup of Mercury in 1974, our first double planet probe.
Voyager 2 captured Jupiter in 1979. Voyager 1 gave us Saturn's first closeup in 1980. Voyager 2 meanwhile went on to show us Uranus in 1986 and a surprisingly beautiful Neptune in 1989. Then another 26 years passed before this moment I am blogging about, the longest time between planetary closeups since that V2 rocket went up in 1946. That historic fact makes this moment even more awe inspiring for me, connected through human time.
New Horizons flew by at its closet distance (7,750 miles) as I was at my desk at work last Tuesday. I always get to work early so I can think and plan and get somewhat of jump on the day. I had my iPad with me and NASA TV up. It was about 7:45 AM. A crowded room of scientists and assorted nerds were counting down. 10...9...8... Louder each time as if it were New Year's Eve in July. I smiled and watched them all shout for joy and hug and shake hands....but there was nothing from New Horizons. It seemed a bit absurd to a coworker and me who were emailing back and forth as the moment happened.
Of course, it was going to take awhile to get the actual "live" photography from the probe. So everyone was ecstatic on sheer faith that we did not unexpectedly misfire and crash into Pluto. Or that the probe would successfully switch to data send mode and successfully realign its antennae back toward Earth. It was a glorious sight unseen. New Horizons was traveling super fast, after a nine year journey. You had one shot at everything and everything was validated about 12 hours later when the first images were released to the public.
It was one amazing view after another. Scientists were immediately impressed with the red tinge of the planet, like Mars. Also surprising was the smoothness of its surface, with its lack of cratering, indicating a geologically alive core. Mountains at least 11,000 feet high were discovered (measured by the length of their shadow from the a perspective of the flyby). This was totally unexpected. My own take is that the massive craters we see on Earth and the Moon and Mars and Mercury were the result of the Sun's gravitational pull on the Solar System's debris, which is comparatively slight out at Pluto's distance. But that is just an amateurish speculation on my part.
After the immediate flyby, New Horizons snapped shots of the entire Pluto System. It fell into the shadow of the dwarf planet at 8:45 AM this past Tuesday. I look forward to seeing how it looks from that perspective, eclipsing the Sun at that great distance. By 10 AM its speeding trajectory briefly fell in the shadow of Charon. The probe continued to gather data until about 4:30 when it used its limited power to switch from data gathering to transmission mode, which it will remain in for most of the the next 16 months. The probe is so far away that it takes about 4 and a half hours to send data to Earth. And it is constantly moving further away.
The easiest way to grasp the distances involved within our Solar System is through Astronomical Units (AUs). The Earth is about 93,000,000 miles from the Sun and that equals 1 AU. Jupiter orbits at a distance of about 5 AU. Pluto has in irregular oval orbit that averages about 39 AU. That's a long way out.
Going to Pluto in just nine years is hauling ass in space within present human limitations. Of course, this is still a small thing, an undetectable thing in the vastness of space itself. But it is nevertheless a magical human moment. We sent Clyde Tombaugh to Pluto and beyond. He now joins Voyager 1 and 2 as well as Pioneer 10 and 11 in the furthest reaches of human touch. Hello out there...

Piaggio P.180 Avanti
|First flight||23 September 1986|
|Introduction||30 September 1990|
|Primary users|| Italian Air Force|
|Number built||216 delivered as of November 2011|
The Piaggio P.180 Avanti is an Italian executive transport aircraft with twin turboprop engines mounted in pusher configuration. It seats up to nine passengers in a pressurized cabin, and may be flown by one or two pilots. The design is of three-surface configuration, having both a small forward wing and a conventional tail plane as well as its main wing, with the wing spars passing outside of the passenger cabin area.
Design studies began in 1979 and designs were tested in wind tunnels in Italy and the United States in 1980 and 1981. A collaboration with Learjet to develop the aircraft began in 1983, but ended on 13 January 1986, with Piaggio continuing development on its own. The first prototype flew on 23 September 1986. American and Italian certification was obtained on 2 October 1990. Learjet's influence can be seen in the two "delta fins" mounted on the bottom of the tail, as found on most Learjets; these devices help provide yaw stability and pitch stability at high angles of attack.
The first 12 fuselages were manufactured in Wichita, Kansas, with H & H Parts and Plessey Midwest, then flown to Italy for final assembly. Avanti Aviation Wichita ran out of money in 1994; the project languished until a group of investors led by Piero Ferrari became involved in 1998. The 100th aircraft was delivered in October 2005 and the 150th in May 2008. Piaggio has reported that, as of October 2010, the Avanti and Avanti II fleets have now logged over 500,000 flight hours.
An improved Avanti II obtained European and U.S. certification in November 2005. Six months later, 70 planes had been ordered, including 36 by Avantair. The Avanti II features uprated Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop engines and flies about 18 km/h (11 mph) faster, with better fuel economy; an all-new "glass panel" avionics suite reduces cockpit clutter. In addition to heading, attitude and navigation information, flat panel color LCD displays add collision avoidance (TCAS), ground proximity (TAWS) and real-time graphic weather depiction.
The Avanti's turboprop engines are placed on a mid-set, high aspect ratio wing located just behind the cabin. The three-surface design incorporates both a T-tail and a pair of small, fixed forewings having slight anhedral and landing flaps. On the Avanti II these flaps automatically deploy in concert with the main wing flaps. This reduces the load on the tail plane, even when the flaps are deployed, by reducing the pitch-down moment created by the deployment of the main wing flaps. This in turn allows the size of both the tail plane and the main wing to be reduced. This particular three-lifting-surface configuration was patented in 1982.
The forward wing's angle of incidence is slightly greater than that of the main wing, so that it stalls before the main wing, producing an automatic nose-down effect prior to the onset of main wing stall; its five-degree anhedral (negative dihedral) keeps the stream wash interference clear of the engine inlets, the main wing and the tail plane.
The cabin cross-section varies continuously along the length of the aircraft; the shape approximates a NACA airfoil section, and the slowly changing curve helps prolong laminar flow on the front of the fuselage. Piaggio claims that the fuselage contributes up to 20% of the Avanti's total lift, with the front and rear wing providing the remaining 80%. Due to the unusual fuselage shape, the mid cabin is considerably wider than the cockpit. The front and rear airfoils are custom sections designed by Dr. Jerry Gregorek of Ohio State University's Aeronautical and Astronautical Research Laboratory to achieve a drag-reducing 50% laminar flow at cruise. The company claims the overall design of the P180 Avanti II enables the wing to be 34% smaller than on conventional aircraft.
The P180 is said to have good fuel efficiency relative to other small turbojets flying in the same speed and altitude range. Flight International stated: "The Avanti has no direct turboprop competitors, its closest jet rivals are the Raytheon Premier I and the Cessna Citation CJ2+ ... Piaggio says low-drag laminar flow is maintained to around 50% of wing chord, compared with around 20–25% for conventional tractor turboprops where propeller wash disturbs the airflow over the wing... specific air range at high altitude is 3.4km/kg (0.84nm/lb) compared with around 2km/kg (0.49nm/lb) for current jets or 2.7km/kg (0.67nm/lb) for other turboprops." By this estimate, mileage is 70% better per-fuel-unit than comparable jet aircraft, although this greater efficiency is achieved only at a relatively slow 315 KTAS and FL410. P180 Avanti II Specifications now show slightly lower numbers for specific range of 3.1 km/kg (0.76 nm/lb).
Interior noise is lower than conventional turboprop aircraft, because the propellers and engine exhausts are located behind the cabin. Piaggio quotes 68 dBA. However, due to the strongly disturbed flow in which the pusher propellers operate, the exterior noise is higher. The exterior noise level and its higher pitched sound has been shown to be the result primarily of the interaction of the turbine engine exhaust flows and the five-bladed pusher propellers (est. +9 dB). On takeoff, the Avanti has been measured at 81.9 dBA sideline noise level, slightly lower than the Beechcraft King Air at 82.8 dBA. This is below FAA stage 3 noise limits, which set a maximum of 89 EPNdB for takeoff. However, the P180 has been the subject of noise complaints at airports, such as Naples Municipal Airport, Florida, where the airport authority determined it was the noisiest aircraft using that facility. Alan Parker, chairman of the Naples Municipal Airport Authority's technical committee, described the Avanti as "irritating loud" and compared the high pitched sound "to fingernails on a chalkboard".
Deliveries were at a high of 30 in 2008, but only two in 2013.
In 2014 Piaggio announced development of an updated version, called EVO. It uses new Hartzell composite propellers, with blades of scimitar configuration. Its wings carry new winglets; aerodynamic improvements have been incorporated, and an additional 60-gallon (400 lb) fuel tank is added. The company predicts improved climb performance, 250 nm greater range, and 3% reduction in fuel usage. The revised propeller shape, combined with a lower engine speed, promises a 68% reduction in external noise. EASA certification is expected by December 2014. Projected purchase price is in the $7.4 million range. The first Evo was delivered in April 2015, with five more to follow the same year.

KEKAHA, Hawaii (CNN) — The Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency shot down a dummy target missile over the southern Pacific Ocean during a test of the U.S. missile defense shield early Saturday, according to an agency spokeswoman.
First, a dummy ballistic missile was fired from a U.S. mobile launch platform in the Pacific Ocean in a simulated attack.
Moments later, an interceptor missile was fired from the agency’s missile range facility on Hawaii’s Kauai Island and struck the dummy warhead over the Pacific Ocean, military footage showed.
The mobile, ground-based system is designed to protect the United States from short to intermediate-range high altitude ballistic missile attacks in the North American region, agency spokeswoman Pam Rogers said.
The system “intercepts missiles that are shorter range and at the end of their flight trajectory. It is part of the ballistic missile defense system, a layered system that is designed to intercept all types of missiles in all phases of flights,” Rogers said.
After decades of investment, it looks like missile defense systems may actually be paying off. If they ever succeed in a real war scenario, they could save millions of lives and stablize the geopolitical situation. It’s always good to applaud the developments of defense technologies (for actual defense), even if they aren’t perfect.

COLUMBUS (WCMH) — A team of Ohio State University Aerospace Engineering students saw their project soar to record heights and a first place award at the Spaceport America Cup in New Mexico this summer.
More than 100 teams competed, including 21 OSU students, who achieved top honors in the 30,000-foot Student Researched and Designed solid fuel rocket category.
“Our continued work on rocket flights will eventually give us the ability to send experiments to space, not only for OSU, but for the local community as well,” said OSU Aerospace Engineering student Nicolas Flesher.
The launch included a 3U payload. Flesher said, the U stands for “unit” capacity. He added, “A U is a 10 cm cube, usually referred to as a CubeSat or a cube satellite. It is essentially a dimension of volume for sounding rocket payloads.”
Nine-foot-long Brutus II climbed to more than 23,000 feet. The OSU team was one of only three teams to see successful flights in the winning category. The team also competed in the 10,000-foot commercial off-the-shelf contest., creating a drag system to control the rocket’s apogee (highest point). The Buckeye engineers have been competing in high-powered rocketry competitions for the past three years.

Shimla, September 21
Air connectivity to the state capital will finally be restored after two-and-a-half years as Alliance Air Aviation Ltd will launch its Shimla-Delhi-Shimla flight from September 26.
The flights from the Jubbarhatti airport, near here, were to be restored earlier on September 6 but owning to inclement weather conditions, the plans had to be put on hold. “The flight will depart from Delhi at 7.10 am and arrive in Shimla at 8.20 am on September 26. The flight will return from here at 8.50 am and land in Delhi at 10 am the same day,” revealed Yash Vardhan Singh, Alliance Air Aviation Ltd Deputy Engineer (Marketing). Singh said that Alliance Air feels proud to be part of Prime Minister’s initiative of vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. “Dekho Bharat ke rang, Alliance Air ke sang, is our mission,” he said.
Though the introductory all inclusive fares for Delhi-Shimla and Shimla-Delhi flight has been fixed at Rs 2,141 it is likely that the amount will increase in near future. The timing of the launch of the flights by Alliance Air is appropriate as it coincides with the start of the festival season like Navratras, Dasehra and Diwali.
Amit Kashyap, Director Tourism and Civil Aviation, said all formalities like conduct of the trial flights had been completed. “The resumption of the flights from Shimla will help give a major boost to tourism, especially in Shimla, Kinnaur and adjoining areas,” he said.
Shimla is perhaps the only state capital in the country which does not have air connectivity for the last more than two years despite boasting to be an international tourist destination. Even prior to the discontinuation of the flights from Shimla in February 2020, the air connectivity was highly erratic and unreliable.
Plans of the Tourism Department to get the runways of its three airports at Bhuntar in Kullu, Gaggal in Kangra and Jubbarhatti in Shimla extended have failed to fructify. The limited length of the airstrips is a major hindrance for landing of bigger aircraft. The increased length of the airstrip would help in bringing down the fare, which at times is exorbitant.
The huge cost involving land acquisition and diversion of river to pave way for the expansion of the airports are the major reasons for the runway extension plans not materializing for the last 15 years.

Russian regional carrier Yamal Airlines will cancel a planned purchase of 10 Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft, a day after one of the commuter jets operated by Aeroflot fatally crash-landed at Moscows Sheremetyevo Airport.
Yamal announced its decision on Monday, after Russias transport minister declined to ground the aircraft in response to the accident.
Yamals decision to drop the plane is said to be unconnected to Sundays accident. General Director Vasily Kryuk told Russian news agency TASS that servicing costs on the narrow-body Superjet 100 are too high.
A Superjet 100 belonging to Aeroflot crash-landed in a blaze of fire and smoke at Moscows Sheremetyevo International Airport on Sunday. The plane had departed Sheremetyevo for Murmansk, but pilots declared an emergency on board and returned to Moscow, with the plane bursting into flames upon a hard landiRead More

GANDHI BROTHERS COMPETED AS MIDDLEMEN FOR IAF DEAL: WIKILEAKS
TNN | Apr 10, 2013, 04.19 AM IST
NEW DELHI: During the Emergency (1975-77), the Gandhi brothers, Rajiv and Sanjay, may have competed as representatives in at least one of the most lucrative aircraft contracts of the day, suggest the US embassy cables released by Wikileaks.
The US embassy had said in a cable on July 30, 1976 that the Maruti company controlled by Sanjay was negotiating for BAC (British Aircraft Corporation) in India, and in a later cable added that it believed the company was already working with it. BAC was in the race for two aircraft contracts in India—for supplying aircraft to Indian Airlines and as a joint developer of Jaguar fighter for the Indian Air Force's Deep Penetration Strike Aircraft (DPSA) project.
The US embassy cables — sent between 1973 and 1976 — suggest that Rajiv was working for Saab-Scania, whose Viggen aircraft was in the fray with Jaguar for the DPSA venture.
So, if the secret cables from the US embassy in India are to be believed, then the brothers were working for rival firms that were desperate to sell fighters to the IAF.
It is not clear if the brothers' rivalry over IAF's fighter deal had spilled over to family ties. However, the IAF's fighter contract went beyond the Emergency, and the final decision could not be taken until 1978, when the Janata government settled for Jaguar fighters.
It is not recorded if Maruti, or Sanjay Gandhi, financially benefitted from the deal.
Sanjay also probably worked for BAC in Indian Airlines contract. It had bid its aircraft 111-474 against Boeing's 737-200 and Fokker's F-28 Mark 4000. Finally, Boeing bagged the contract.
According to the US cables, Maruti was also keen to represent other aircraft manufacturers in India.
On August 27, 1976, the US embassy cabled Washington DC saying that K L Jalan, managing director, Maruti Heavy Vehicles, requested mission's assistance in "arranging a meeting with the president or high level official of Cessna aircraft to discuss the sale of Cessna aircraft in India". Jalan assured the embassy that his firm has an "immediate sale for two aircraft with a very promising outlook for 20 more units by fiscal year-end, March 1977".
Jalan requested that the Cessna's official make a special trip to India within the next 10 days to discuss financial details, the cable said.
Four days later, Jalan approached the US embassy again. This time he told an embassy official that Maruti wanted to contact Piper Aircraft, another aviation firm, too. "Please inform Mr Robert C Watson, Piper Aircraft Corp, Lock Haven, PA of the approach by Maruti," the cable to the headquarters said.

Capabilities of an Airborne Laser Energy Transfer System for Space Junk Removal and Spacecraft Orbit Sustaining.
Space technics and technology
Аuthors, , ,
AbstractUse of an airborne laser energy transfer system (LETS) for applications such as space debris removal or low-orbit spacecraft sustaining provides a set of advantages over the ground-based and space-based systems. It is less subject to atmospheric turbulence and absorption influence than ground-based system which leads to a great increase of duration and efficiency of interaction between LETS and target. Also, high mobility of an airborne LETS allows interacting with the multiple targets (or more frequently interact with the single target). In the same time, the performance of an airborne LETS is subject to some additional degradation factors that have to be countered or taken into account. The beam jitter control is especially important for orbit sustaining applications, where the laser spot should be kept within the geometrical limits of an energy receiver. This article formulates and considers principal requirements to an airborne LETS and evaluates its potential capabilities for the two above mentioned applications

Gespasa's Portable Aviation Kit assisting with aviation travel logistics
Gespasa’s EPA-50 portable aviation kit is a rugged DC powered, portable fuel transfer system for light aircraft and helicopters. Incorporating: self-priming pump, hoses, hose reel, delivery nozzle, dirt and water filtration plus earthing cable and optional flow meter.
It is specially designed for rapid refuelling of micro filtered and dry fuel. As most aviation fuel supply is hygroscopic, which means it can absorb moisture from the air. The Gepasa aviation kit will filter the fuel and remove any water. It also has a filter cartridge state warning for when it is not able to filter the fuel efficiently, alerting the operator when the cartridge needs changing.
The EPA-50 is a stand-alone fuel delivery kit with a flow of 44 l/min. It’s IRON-50 pump is ATEX certified explosion proof and comes with a 4m or 10m Ø19 mm suction hose and a PA-80 automatic nozzle for aviation fuels.

ISLAMABAD: The global drone market generated about $22.4 billion in 2020 but Pakistan’s share in it was zero.Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry implied that the approach to drones was pretty much the same we had towards learning English a hundred years ago.
“Imagine that in this day and age of technological advancements, there is also a ban on imports of 3D printers in Pakistan. Someone thinks that its few side effects such as its use in making weapons outweigh its infinite benefits in the fields of education, S&T, research and development sectors with productive and high-paying benefits to the economy in the longer run,” he told Dawn.
Besides the lack of any previous experience about side effects and fearful authorities opposed to flying UAS playing an important influence in its acceptance, there are also no drone laws in Pakistan.
According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, more than 90 per cent of the estimated 8,000 to 10,000 drones flying in Pakistan mostly for recreational, media and events coverage have been smuggled into the country through grey channels with losses to the exchequer running in millions.
All types of mini and nano drones to high-end UAS are easily available in markets. Only a small portion, may be 100 to 200 of these modern devices, were imported through legal channels after obtaining no-objection certificates (NOCs) from the Ministry of Defence. Because of the ban on import of drones, local manufacturers also face hurdles in importing crucial parts, including cameras, needed to assemble UAS.
Adviser to the Minister on Projects, Ministry of Science and Technology, Humza Haroon, believed “Pakistan’s share of that $22.4 billion global drone market should easily have been $600 million to $700 million, especially when the country manufactures unmanned aerial systems (UAS) locally.”
According to Mr Haroon, Pakistan has the potential to compete internationally within three to five years with formal policy and regularisation with spillover impact to other sectors.
“But first we have to convince the government to remove the ban on imports and operations of drones,” he said.
Drone technology has been used by the defence sector for some time now.
Fawad Chaudhry said his ministry had convinced the prime minister on the benefits that extend beyond defence purposes and gotten approved the policy on mainstreaming drones. The ministry argued that its utility ranged from providing emergency services, humanitarian aid, maintaining law and order, disease control in crops and even delivering products to doorsteps.
“Agriculture drones are our priority. In the next three to five years, drones will become primary agricultural implements for seeding, spraying and monitoring,” the minister said.
He argued that if investment in drone space was to grow a change in the approach to drones could expand the use of the machines.
“For this purpose, we are setting up an entire new structure called the Civil Drone Regulatory Authority (CDRA) that would carefully address safety, security and privacy concerns while advancing opportunities for innovation and utilisation of drone technology and will amend current policies that previously forbade drone operations,” he said.
According to the ministry, once established CDRA will represent stakeholders from the ministries of science and technology, industries, defence, commerce, interior, food security and research, commerce, experts from academia, frequency allocation board and local manufacturers of drones besides the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Representatives from all these departments will then put their heads together to develop rules, standard operating procedures (SOPs), work on registration and licencing of drones as well as operators, ensure protection of intellectual property rights, develop importing rules, define design criteria, oversea manufacturing and assembly, make clear rules on operations of drones and their monitoring, besides working on research and associated technologies and developing human resource.
However, some drone operators responded negatively to the new requirements that might restrict freedom of flying UAS, including for recreational purposes. Some users also complained that the new rules were still unclear.
“The new rules would become one of the biggest hurdles to mass adoption of drones with the numerous regulations that restrict what drone owners and operators can do,” said Ali Naeem, who rents out drones to entertainment businesses.
Another UAS operator said several regulations only hinder drone market growth, adding: “Will operators need licences to fly drones? Will we need to register drones? Will they decide how high can drones be flown?”
Whereas local licenced operators welcomed the new rules and regulations.
“The establishment of CDRA will not block but open more doors. Who are importers, how much money is being generated, who are qualified to fly etc just like any other industry, and will answer such questions.” said senior manager ABN Satuma, Nizamuddin. ABN Satuma has been manufacturing drones for the defence industry since the late 1990s.
“If CDRA binds all operators/pilots to obtain licence to fly drones then so be it. Agriculture drones are huge and take skills to fly carrying 32 kg liquids and accidents cannot be ruled out. It is just like getting a drivers licence to drive a car,” he said.

Life size Lancaster construction kit
It looks like the familiar sight for most airplane modellers: an inventory of the parts of your Lancaster construction kit. The difference is that this kit is life size!
After heavy maintenance during the 2020-2021 winter season AVRO Lancaster NX611 Just Jane is being prepared for assembly.
In the past months all four Merlins engines were serviced, the rear turret, the tailplane, fin and rudder were removed and the rear fuselage was split from the aircraft to name but a few of the activities that were carried out. All of this work is estimated to have cost in the region of GBP 50,000.00 over the six month period.
Now the vintage bomber, resident of East Kirkby aerodrome in the United Kingdom, will carefully be assembled again. It is owned by the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre, a family run museum which was set up over 20 years ago by the Panton brothers.
In those years the iconic aircraft has slowly been restored and it is used for taxi rides with members of the public. Although it is presently not airworthy the ultimate goal of its ongoing restoration is to return NX611 (G-ASXX) to the skies. And what a sight it would be to see it fly together with Battle of Britain Memorial Flight’s PA474!

Greetings again from the darkness. "Check out the brain on Brad!" There may or may not have been a 'Brad' on the NASA team we follow in Ryan White's documentary, however Samuel L Jackson's famous line from PULP FICTION certainly holds true for the rest of the team that helped execute the Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission. A brief overview outlines the attempts to gain approval, followed by the design and planning and testing to ensure the window for launch was met. See, the launch was scheduled according to a planetary alignment that only occurs every 26 months. A late arrival would have been costly, and possibly ended the program before it really started.
The mission was to send a rover to Mars and have it procure samples from around the red planet in hopes of finding evidence of water, which would likely mean proof of past life. We see some of the design stage as the engineers note the human characteristics, though most movie fans will immediately notice physical similarities to WALL-E. The team created two "twin" robotic rovers named "Spirit" and "Opportunity". The expectation was that each would have a 90-day lifespan and send scientifically significant data back. The race was on to meet the launch date in 2003, and the two rovers were launched three weeks apart - and to different areas of the planet.
After the 6-and-a-half-month flight time to travel 300 million miles, the two rovers were successfully landed, which only kicked off some of the challenges back on Earth in mission control. It's here, and with the numerous interviews of team members, that we really get a sense of the emotions running through these folks who had invested so much time and energy into making the mission a reality. Computer engineered reenactments (stunning work from Industrial Light & Magic) help us visualize what happened on Mars, while the archival footage from inside the NASA control room conveys the palpable tension as they helplessly wait for the next signal to arrive.
Although Mr. White's documentary centers on scientific achievement, much of the focus lands on the human element. We are there to witness first the relief, and then the jubilation as that first signal from Mars is received. Scientists, designers, engineers, and drivers all experience the rollercoaster of emotions driven by the intense camaraderie and teamwork involved. Should you ever doubt whether the smartest people on the planet experience human emotions, you need only look at the faces as daily 'wake-up songs' are played, including "Roam" by the B-52s, "SOS" by Abba, "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf. Additionally, after the 90-day window has closed, the annual "cocktail napkin" records each team members prediction about rover survival over the coming year.
Emotions and accomplishments go hand in hand for these NASA types, as do the challenges presented by harsh winters and dust storms that put west Texas to shame. It's remarkable that Spirit lasted more than 7 years, and Oppy (the "lucky rover") went for 15, before finally being shut down while Billie Holiday sang "I'll be Seeing You." Wisely, director White ends on a high not with the 2020 launch of the new rover, Perseverance. What an inspiring trip this is.
Opens in US theaters on November 4, 2022 and on Prime Video November 23.

(NEXSTAR) – An operator communicating with the crew of a packed C-17 cargo jet at Kabul’s airport was just as shocked as anyone after learning how many evacuating Afghans had climbed aboard, according to an apparent audio exchange recorded before the flight.
On Sunday, the Air Force C-17 Globemaster III safely evacuated 640 Afghans who had been cleared to evacuate the country, despite the C-17 Globemaster III having a capacity of only 134 passengers, Reuters reported.
The Department of Defense has since confirmed the flight never intended to carry such a large volume of Afghans leaving Kabul, but “the crew made the decision to go” after panicked refugees crowded into the plane via a half-open ramp, according to a defense official cited by Defense One.
A photo from the inside the cargo plane, which began circulating earlier this week, shows hundreds of the evacuees inside the aircraft. But an apparent audio recording between the plane’s operators suggests that even the pilots were unaware of just how many people they were carrying.
“How many people are on your jet,” asks the unidentified person, who is soon taken aback by the estimate. “800 people on your jet? Holy… Holy cow.”
Despite the overestimate, it’s rare that a C-17 military transport aircraft would carry as many as 640 people like the C-17 on Sunday. One notable instance occurred in 2013, when a C-17 evacuated more than 670 people fleeing a typhoon in the Philippines. A photo of that, too, was shared by the U.S. Air Force at the time.
The unidentified defense official who spoke with Defense One also said it was likely that other military transport planes had left from Kabul’s airport on Sunday or Monday with hundreds of evacuees on board, and perhaps some with even more than 640 passengers.
Evacuating Afghans swarmed many of the departing military flights after the Taliban seized control of the capital after capturing all of the country’s major cities in a matter of days. U.S. military officials confirmed that several people died during chaotic scenes at the airport, including multiple who tried clinging to planes and fell, the Associated Press reported. The Air Force further said it would be investigating reports of human remains found in the landing gear of a C-17 cargo plane that left from Kabul’s airport on Monday, Reuters reported.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Many flight services from the gulf countries to Cochin airport has been cancelled and some are rescheduled and diverted to other airports. Various airline companies operating in this sector has informed this. The temporary closure of Cochin International Airport due to heavy rain had prompted the airlines to take this decision.
This new decision has added the misery of expats who had booked a ticket to Kerala for celebrating Eid.
The Fly Dubai’s flight FZ441, Emirates Airline’s EK532, Spice Jet, Indigo E608 flights connecting Dubai and Cochin were cancelled. Etihad airline’s EY280 from Abu Dhabi, Air Arabia ‘s flights from Sharjah, and Air India’s IX412 services were cancelled too.
The Cochin airport has closed on Thursday evening after water entered in the runway. Although the airport was closed to midnight later it was extended to Sunday. As per reports, the airport will be opened on Sunday afternoon.

What, you mean the mission where we chuck a metal box into space, fly it out to the asteroid belt, find a big rock, drop into orbit, survey the gravitational field and some other stuff, then kick out, maneuver through the storm of flying rocks, find another big rock, and do the whole orbit thing all over gain?
Yeah. That one.
Next stop, Ceres. ETA: 6 March 2015, SCET.
Say hello to Dawn.
No, really. This is already a great show. And it’s about to get even better.

I recently acquired the latest mission pack from STEAM, "Arctic Rescue" (20 missions). When looking at them I found that the flight (.FLT) files were "compiled/coded" and totally unreadable. This is something I've never seen before. However, if you run a mission and save it, the resulting flight file is normal! Has anyone seen this kind of flight file before? Cheers, eskil
Hi everyone, I fly FSX on a Macbook Pro Retina 15" on Windows Bootcamp. Everything works fine and I get decent FPS, yet I have an issue with sound. The music overlaying the main page stutters and breaks, and the voiceovers for the missions do the same. All other sounds (such as aircraft noises and such) work fine. Please can someone help me out?

□ The MOLIT (Minister Kim Hyun-mee) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will hold the 7th Cooperative Aviation Security Programme – Asia Pacific Region of ICAO (CASP-AP)* Technical and Operational Meeting.
* CASP-AP (Cooperative Aviation Security Programme-Asia Pacific): was established in ‘05 by ICAO to strengthen execution of international standards for aviation security and it is providing support for improving competence of aviation security and technical support to member countries (28 member countries)
□ This technical meeting is being held annually since ‘13 as a place for experts from different countries to discuss technological solutions with the goal of enhancing the aviation security levels in Asia-Pacific countries and to further cooperation.
ㅇ In particular, this is the first international meeting on aviation security held in Korea and it is expected that this will serve as an opportunity to promote Korea’s outstanding aviation security system and to solidify its position as a leader in aviation security in the Asia-Pacific.
* ’11 ICAO airport security evaluation results showed that it had the highest ranking (98.57% execution compared to the global average of 68.23%), 6 straight years as an ICAO permanent member (permanent members in Asia-Pacific are Korea, China, Japan, Singapore, India and Australia)
□ At the 7th annual meeting, the status of each country and outstanding cases for executing the ICAO Global Aviation Security Plan* will be shared, and discussions will be held on recent issues and problems, and how to address them.
* GASeP (Global Aviation Security Plan): ICAO’s master plan for strengthening global aviation security that designates the goals, tasks and sub-tasks, and it is being pursued with the goal of all 192 member countries to achieve 90% or higher of the goal between ‘18 and ’30
ㅇ The ICAO and US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) shared information such as results of the recent aviation security evaluation and threat trends to aviation security, and Korea presented its aviation security supervision system, and discussions will be held with experts from the various nations on how to effectively execute international standards in the Asia-Pacific.
ㅇ Furthermore, regarding smart security that has recently become a hot issue, Korea will present its outstanding cases on the operation of Incheon Airport Passenger Terminal 2 and high-tech security search equipment that is scheduled to be introduced to Jeju Airport in order to search for solutions to improve airport security while also enhancing passenger convenience.
□ MOLIT Civil Aviation Office Aviation Policy Officer Jin Hyun-hwan said, “The reason why Korea was able to develop its aviation industry to world-class levels in such a short period of time is because of its efforts and inter-national cooperation to procure aviation security against terrorism, etc.”
ㅇ He added, “Through this technical meeting, it is expected that we will elevate our status in international aviation as a permanent member of the ICAO and this is expected to also have a positive impact on the election for our 7th term as a permanent member of the ICAO general meeting scheduled for September.”

Aircraft Engine Development
By the time that flying began at Point Cook in 1914, aeroplane engines had evolved from one-off designs into factory-produced units of up to 80 horsepower. Configurations of these engines varied, but one of the most common during World War I was the rotary engine, which had the entire crankcase of the engine fixed to the propeller, and the crankshaft attached to the aircraft itself. Although providing excellent cooling, this arrangement had many drawbacks, and by the birth of the RAAF in 1921, in-line and radial engines had become the most common for aircraft. The RAAF's first fighter aircraft, the SE5a, was fitted with a liquid-cooled V8 engine of 200hp, and had a top speed of 202 km/h.
In the lead-up to World War II, the piston engine was developed at a rapid rate. Air racing in Europe and the USA resulted in high power outputs, and endurance flights across the world improved the reliability of engine designs. With war on the horizon, a new generation of engines and aircraft were in development, and fighters such as the Spitfire and Kittyhawk were capable of speeds in excess of 600 km/h, a vast leap from the fighters of World War I. Possibly one of the most famous engines of this period was the Rolls-Royce Merlin, an advanced V12 engine that was producing up to 2200 hp by the end of the war, and in RAAF Service powered the Spitfire, Mustang, Mosquito and Lincoln, among other types. In parallel with in-line engines, the radial engine also progressed, and the two 1400hp 14-cylinder Wright Cyclones of the Douglas Boston gave the aircraft a top speed of 480 km/h, quite considerable for a bomber aircraft.
But in 1939, a development occurred in Germany that would make all of these advances obsolete for military aviation. Just three days before the outbreak of World War II, the first jet aircraft flew, and by the end of the war, both sides had developed the first generation of jet fighter. One of the RAAF's earliest jets was the De Havilland Vampire, and although relatively underpowered, it was capable of a top speed of over 880 km/h, far in excess of the fastest propeller-driven aircraft. In 1955, only eight years after the Vampire entered service, the Australian-built Avon Sabre became the RAAF's first aircraft capable of breaking sound barrier (Mach 1), albeit in a dive. By 1964, the RAAF had received its first Mach 2 fighter, the Dassault Mirage III, whose Atar engine was fitted with an afterburner to increase thrust.
For all-out speed, the jet engine seemed to be the answer to an aircraft designer's dreams. However, for less glamorous tasks such as training and transport, another type of engine was developed. Using jet-engine technology combined with the low-speed efficiency of the propeller, the turboprop engine was developed soon after World War II, and evolved into the turboshaft, as fitted to helicopters such as the ubiquitous UH-1 Iroquois. These engines used a turbine to drive either rotors or propellers, and replaced all but a few of the piston engines in RAAF service.
Since the earliest days of military flying, pilots and crews have been presented with increasingly complex information regarding their aircraft and the mission at hand. The trainee pilot flying a Bristol Boxkite at Point Cook in 1914 could not in his wildest dreams imagine the multi-function displays and cathode ray tube instrumentation fitted to today's F/A-18 Hornet fighter. In fact, these early pioneers had nothing other than their own senses to guide them, giving rise to the phrase 'flying by the seat of your pants'. It was for this reason that it was suggested that a good horseman would become a good pilot, as they would be well in touch with the behaviour of their steed.
As aircraft rapidly developed during World War I, aircraft cockpits began to fill with all manner of controls and instruments. Early radios also began to appear in aircraft, replacing hand-written notes dropped to friendly forces on the ground. But it was not until the onset of World War II that avionics (aviation electronics) began to develop into the essential equipment that it has become today. Radios became standard equipment, and some aircraft were even fitted with radar, allowing detection of targets on the ground, at sea and in the air. Cockpits became more and more cluttered, leading the British to develop a standardised 'Blind Flying' panel, grouping six essential instruments into a set pattern, ensuring that flying at night or in bad weather was made as easy as possible.
Following World War II, avionics development kept pace with other fields such as aerodynamics and propulsion. Radar soon spawned electronic counter-measures, which were designed to confuse enemy radars and allow attacking aircraft safer passage. Navigational aids allowed pilots to follow 'highways' in the sky, ensuring accuracy and safety for civilian and military flying. Pilots soon became systems operators for ever more complex systems, fitted into increasingly smaller cockpits.
It was not until the late 1970s that the layout and user friendliness of these systems was considered of great importance to flight performance. Soon, 'TV screen' displays replaced large numbers of analogue gauges, and head-up displays (HUDs) projected flight information directly in front of the pilot's view, allowing greater situational awareness and higher effectiveness.
Today's most advanced aircraft are more akin to flying computers, and are packed solid with 'black boxes' to control nearly all functions of the aircraft, including the connection between the pilot's hands and the flight controls themselves.
At the beginning of World War I, the aeroplane was viewed by the world's generals and admirals as a mere curiosity. However, it was soon seen to be a very effective observation platform, and could provide the commander in the field with vital information on the movements and disposition of his enemy. Very soon, preventing these observation flights became vital, and the fighter aircraft was born.
Initially, pilots and their observers would carry rifles and pistols aboard their aircraft, but heavier weapons were required to inflict significant damage on the fragile aircraft of the era. The machine gun was selected as the weapon of choice, and fighter aircraft were designed around their new armament, which progressively increased in its effectiveness and weight. Fighters became heavier, requiring more powerful engines, which in turn increased the speed of the aircraft, beginning the cycle for more powerful weapons to defeat these faster targets. By the end of World War I, fighter aircraft such as the SE5a carried two 0.303" (7.7mm) machine guns and were capable of speeds in excess of 320 km/h (200 mph). Barely 20 years later, fighters such as the Spitfire and Hurricane carried eight such guns (Browning 0.303"), at twice the speed of the biplanes of World War I.
As World War II progressed, fighters began carrying heavier calibre machine guns, such as the Browning 0.5" (12.5mm) machine gun, and early aircraft cannons like the Hispano 20mm. These weapons were designed to take down large bomber aircraft with a minimum of bullets fired, and were very effective against other fighters or ground targets. These weapons typified the standard weapons carried by fighter aircraft through to the late 1950s.
Immediately following the end of World War II, great technical advances took place as a result of advanced research carried out by a number of countries. For fighter aircraft, the most significant development was in the field of guided weapons. Air-to-air missiles went from science fiction to operational service, replacing the gun as the primary weapon, and threatened to replace the fighter itself by the mid-1960s. During this period, two developments of a World War II German aircraft cannon, the Mauser MG213, were in RAAF service. The Australian version of the Sabre was fitted with two 30mm ADEN cannons from Britain, and the Mirage carried two of the French 30mm DEFA cannons. These weapons utilised a revolver design to increase the rate of fire, a system pioneered by the Mauser MG213.
American experience in the Vietnam War guaranteed the future of the gun for modern fighter aircraft. The original versions of the F-4 Phantom were not fitted with an internal gun, and there were many occasions where this would have allowed greater success during this conflict. The F-4E was redesigned to include the new General Electric M61 Vulcan 20mm six-barrel cannon, a weapon that was and is fitted as standard to the F-111, F/A-18 and many other modern US fighters. In RAAF service, the gun pack as displayed was fitted in the bomb bay of the F-111, but was replaced in the 1980s by a precision targeting system called Pave Tack. The Vulcan is still fitted to the RAAF's F/A-18 fleet.
Aircrews carry a wide variety of survival equipment in the event of a crash or forced landing. Some of these items are to provide for the comfort and survival of the crew, and others are for use when forced down in hostile territory. In aircraft fitted with ejection seats, the majority of this equipment is carried in the Personal Survival Pack (PSP), located in the base of the seat. Items such as first aid kits, drinking water, signal flares, life rafts and emergency flying rations are typically carried on all aircraft, and provide for the survival of the crew until rescue can be coordinated.
For operations in enemy territory, aircrew carry small compasses, maps and personal weapons to enable escape and evasion from enemy forces.
For an aircraft crew forced down, communications equipment is vital to enable long-term survival. Since World War II, technology has enabled the development of smaller and more effective survival radios to allow communication with potential rescuers or other members of the crew.
The objects in this display show a range of survival equipment ranging from World War II to the present day.

Lauren Rojas made headlines early last year after after she launched a rocket, captained by a Hello Kitty doll, nearly 14 miles into the sky for a middle school science project.
In a recent interview with the go-getting young scientist, Lauren told us about the motivation behind her big launch, and what the success means to her!
“In 7th grade I had a science fair coming up and I still hadn’t decided what experiment I wanted to do,” Lauren explained. “When I saw a commercial where these guys flew a weather balloon into space, I thought, if I add a hypothesis and a little science it will be perfect for the science fair!”
Lauren started building her rocket with help from a DIY balloon kit from High Altitude Science. The rocket she built included a small space for a “pilot.”
“My dad had bought me a little Hello Kitty action figure on one of his business trips to Tokyo,” Lauren said. “She fit perfectly in the rocket and so I decided to make her the captain of the rocket.”
The rocket was fitted with cameras as well as equipment to monitor everything going on in the rocket, including an altimeter, satellite tracker and thermometer.
“My hypothesis for the whole project was that my balloon could go up a little further that 90,000 feet,” Lauren explained.
She was right. Lauren’s rocket traveled an astounding 93,625 feet through the air into near-space.
Lauren documented the effects of altitude on air pressure and temperature. They’re shown in the text pop ups on a video showcasing Lauren’s launch, which can be viewed at the bottom of the page.
During flight, the rocket recorded temperatures as low as -40° F. The flight took 1.5 hours, and when the rocket and capsule landed, they were located 47.5 miles from where Lauren launched them!
Lauren’s project won first place at the Association of Christian Schools International science fair, and also garnered a lot of media attention. Lauren says the experience also helped to teach her the value of hard work.
“With a little extra effort you can make a good project into a great project,” she said. “Also if you work hard enough anything is possible.”
And with so many varying scientific subjects to pursue, Lauren said that she aims to always make science a part of her life. She wanted to thank all of those interested in her project.
“I hope it has inspired others to pursue their interests, whatever they may be,” she said.

D. L. Edberg, Ph.D.
Director, Uninhabited Aerospace Vehicle and Space and Launch Vehicle Laboratories
Aerospace Engineering Department
California State Polytechnic University Pomona
Phone: (909) 869-2618
Through the proposed Aerospace Vehicle Flight Test Laboratory Operations for Workforce Development program, California State Polytechnic University Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona, or CPP) proposes to continue and extend its current laboratory programs in order to expand our workforce development programs involving education, research, hands-on training and outreach activities. This program will be conducted in CPP facilities on campus, except for some student-run flight-testing operations that will occur at suitable off-site locations. The program will benefit engineering students at CPP and eventually regional K-12 schools. We request engineering project funding to support student interns in developing flight testing capabilities and peer advising, as well as continuing to adapt our existing laboratory operations in order to support these workforce development activities. In addition to its current Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle Laboratory (UAV Lab), Cal Poly Pomona has recently established a second “flight” laboratory called the Space and Launch Vehicle Laboratory (SLV Lab). The initiation of this second lab is intended to support the “space” activities and curriculum of our students, just as the UAV Lab supports “air” activities. In 2009-2010, activities in both of these labs were supported by funding from a NASA Aerospace Workforce Development Grant, as well as funding from external industries such as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Northrop-Grumman Corp., the San Gabriel Valley section of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), and members of the local industry who provided material and fabrication support to our students. We hope to continue such relationships and initiate new ones with funding requested in this proposal.

China’s air force on Saturday began joint training exercises with that of Pakistan, China’s defence ministry said, as the two nations’ militaries strengthen operational ties. The military drill, code-named “Shaheen (Eagle)-5” began on April 9 in Pakistan and will continue till April 30.
“China’s Air Force hopes to widen the scope of cooperation and dialogue with all countries and regions,” the Chinese Ministry of Defence statement said in a statement quoted by Reuters.
As far as the composition of participating units, no details were offered by Pakistani or Chinese side. Considering the respective components from the both sides in the previous exercises it is prudent that both sides will deploy front-line fighters along with force multipliers (AWACS and Air Refuelers). The exercise will continue next three weeks.
Last year’s Shaheen-4, featured fourth-generation fighter jets and bombers as well as airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft. The PAF alone participated with three different types of frontline fighter aircraft from different squadrons (likely the JF-17 Thunder, Dassault Mirage III/5, and F7 PG fighter aircraft).
The PLAAF and PAF have held Shaheen series exercises on regular basis since March 2011. The second training exercise took place in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in western China in September 2013, the third was held in Punjab, Pakistan, in May 2014.
Speaking to Reuters, the PAF second-in-command, Air-Vice Marshal Muhammad Ashfaque Arain, said that the PAF heavily relies on its fleet of around 70 U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets in its anti-terrorist operations in Pakistan. Whether any F-16 aircraft will participate in the training exercise is unknown. In February, the United States finally approved a possible of eight additional F-16 Block-52 fighters to Pakistan in a deal valued at $699 million.
Earlier, this Monday, the PAF also inducted 16 upgraded JF-17 Thunder Block II combat aircraft during a handover ceremony in Kamra, also known as Aviation City, the centre of aircraft manufacturing in Pakistan. And now the chief of air staff, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman has said that Pakistan is going to produce 24 JF-17 Thunder fighters in 2016 after achieving the milestone of producing 16 in 2015.

Scripting success on the maiden operational flight of its heavy-duty rocket fitted with the indigenous cryogenic upper stage, India on Thursday launched its advanced weather satellite INSAT-3DR onboard GSLV-F05 from the spaceport in Sriharikota.
The 49.13-metre tall rocket lifted off from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 4.50 PM, majestically soared into the skies and injected the 2,211-kg INSAT-3DR into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit about 17 minutes later. Earlier, it was scheduled to lift off by 4.10 PM but due to “delay in cryostage filling operations“, it was rescheduled to 4.50 PM, officials said.
INSAT-3DR, with a designed mission life of 10 years, will provide service continuity to earlier meteorological missions and further augment the capability to provide various meteorological, search and rescue services.
The mission, the 10th flight of GSLV , assumes significance for the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) as it is the first operational flight of the rocket fitted with the indigenous cryogenic upper stage. Earlier, GSLV launches with indigenous cryogenic stage were under `developmental' phase.
GSLV-F05 also marked a hat-trick of success for the indigenously developed complex cryogenic upper stage (CUS) after GSLV-D5 (January 2014) and D6 (August 2015) missions, which had launched GSAT-14 and GSAT-6 satellites into precise orbit.
“Today's launch of GSLV-F05 is significant since it is first operational flight of GSLV carrying Cryogenic Upper Stage. Earlier launches were developmental. The engine used was Russian engine. Today's launch is indigenous Cryogenic Upper Stage and it is the first operational flight,“ an ISRO official said.

What would kill you first in space?
Left unchecked, the inflated bubbles will cause significant tissue damage, but other things will kill you first.
In space there’s nothing to insulate you, so eventually you’ll freeze to death.
But fortunately, that loss of 100 watts of heat isn’t all that much compared to the sheer mass of your body..
How many countries have walked on the moon?
Only three countries have ever soft-landed on the moon— the United States, the U.S.S.R. and now China. You’ll notice one doesn’t even exist anymore. But let’s not be too hard on the U.S.S.R.
How do astronauts take a shower?
Showering on the Shuttle and International Space Station On the ISS, astronauts do not shower but rather use liquid soap, water, and rinseless shampoo. They squeeze liquid soap and water from pouches onto their skin. Then they use rinseless soap with a little water to clean their hair.
Are we losing the moon?
For the last few billion years the Moon’s gravity has been raising tides in Earth’s oceanswhich the fast spinning Earth attempts to drag ahead of the sluggishly orbiting Moon. The result is that the Moon is being pushed away from Earth by 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) per year and our planet’s rotation is slowing.
Why did we stop going to the moon?
But in 1970 future Apollo missions were cancelled. Apollo 17 became the last manned mission to the Moon, for an indefinite amount of time. The main reason for this was money. The cost of getting to the Moon was, ironically, astronomical.
Who placed the flag on the moon?
Neil ArmstrongDeployment and Performance. The first U.S. flag on the moon was deployed by Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin during their historic EVA on 20 July 1969 (at 4 days, 14 hours and 9 minutes mission-elapsed time).
What does the flag on the moon represent?
The political aspects internationally and domestically for such an event had to be considered. Though it would be Americans landing on the Moon, they were representing all of humanity in this historic first visit to another world. “Planting the flag” usually means making a claim to something, usually territory or land.
Who owns the moon?
The Outer Space Treaty means therefore that – no matter whose national flags are planted on the lunar surface – no nation can ‘own’ the Moon. As of 2019, 109 nations are bound by the Treaty, and another 23 have signed the agreement but have yet to be officially recognised.
Are there footprints still on the moon?
Besides the 2019 Chinese rover Yutu-2 the only artificial objects on the Moon that are still in use are the retroreflectors for the lunar laser ranging experiments left there by the Apollo 11, 14, and 15 astronauts, and by the Soviet Union’s Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2 missions.
How many flags are on the moon?
fiveThere are actually five different flags on the moon. The nations of the United States, The Soviet Union, Japan, China, and India. There is also a flag representing the European Space Agency.
Does the US have a moon base?
The concept of establishing a long-term human presence on the Moon can be traced back to the late 1950s. The Lunex Project, conceptualized in 1958, was a US Air Force plan to construct an underground Air Force Base on the Moon.
How do astronauts eat in space?
Astronauts mainly drink water while in space, but flavoured drinks are also available. Freeze-dried drink mixes such as coffee or tea, lemonade and orange juice are provided in vacuum sealed pouches. The astronauts then add water to the beverage pouch through the pressurised hose and suck the drink through a straw.
Is there still an American flag on the moon?
Images taken by a Nasa spacecraft show that the American flags planted in the Moon’s soil by Apollo astronauts are mostly still standing. The photos from Lunar Reconaissance Orbiter (LRO) show the flags are still casting shadows – except the one planted during the Apollo 11 mission.
Can we survive without the moon?
The moon influences life as we know it on Earth. It influences our oceans, weather, and the hours in our days. Without the moon, tides would fall, nights would be darker, seasons would change, and the length of our days would alter.
How do female astronauts pee in space?
Today, astronauts at the International Space Station poop into a little plate-sized toilet hole, and a fan vacuum-sucks their excrement away. A separate funnel equipped with a fan suctions their pee away.

MOSCOW -- A pilot with fake documents and a barely trained co-pilot got into a Yak-42 private jet to fly three-time Russian league champion team Lokomotiv from Yaroslavl to Minsk for their first game of the 2011-12 season. But before the plane could barely get off the ground, it crashed, killing 44 of 45 people on board.
The crash was one of the worst accidents in sports history, wiping out the entire team, including former NHL and international players, and a Canadian coach.
The tragedy provoked a worldwide outcry and Russia's poor air-safety record was brought under public scrutiny. Days after the crash, prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, who was president at the time, ordered an overhaul of the country's aviation system. President Vladimir Putin, who was prime minister at the time, ordered all Russian planes to be equipped with the latest technology.
A year later, a new Lokomotiv team is ready to go and Russian air travel has gotten safer, at least according to the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency.
Since last September, government has increased investigations and surprise inspections of airlines, and several small air carriers have been shut down, said Sergei Izlovskiy, the agency's spokesman. Guidelines dictating the minimum numbers of planes for commercial carriers have been established, and new bills and amendments to increase penalties for violations and increase the power of air-safety authorities have been created and are under review at the State Duma, or Russia's parliament. The agency's head, Alexander Neradko, proposed raising fines for pilots who violate aviation rules. This year, Russian airlines will need to comply with an International Aviation Transport Association safety audit.
"Our normative base aviation safety must not only comply with the minimal standards of the International civil aviation organization, but it must go above and beyond them," Neradko said at an industry conference on Aug. 16, according to Russian media reports. "I suggest thinking about stepping over these minimal standards and making our national standards in flight safety more severe."
Yet the tragedies have continued this year. In April, Russia suffered a major plane crash in Siberia that killed 31 and injured 12. In May, a new Russian Sukhoi Superjet crashed into an Indonesian mountain during its introductory flight, killing 45. In August, a Russian-made charter plane flown by a Russian pilot crashed in Sudan; 32 people died.
In 2011, Russia was ranked as the deadliest country for air travel, with nine crashes and 140 deaths.
The tragedies decreased the already dwindling trust in the domestic industry. Russia's Kontinental Hockey League lobbied the government in February for players to fly only on foreign-made planes, Russian media reported. A KHL official declined to comment, citing a busy travel schedule.
Pilot error, and not badly made planes, is the cause of about 80 percent of accidents, Yelena Glebova, the head of transport and customs regulations, said in a May interview published on the agency's website. The general prosecutor launched an investigation after the Siberia plane crash in April.
"Individuals that don't have the proper experience are allowed to fly," Glebova said. "Aviation schools don't have enough instructors, there aren't enough planes and flight simulators. A large part of the training equipment doesn't work."
The ongoing investigation into the Lokomotiv crash found that the charter-jet pilots were not qualified to fly that plane. The head pilot had false documents and the co-pilot had yet to finish his training, the investigation found. A criminal case has been opened against Yak Service official Vadim Timofeyev, Russia's Investigative Committee announced Thursday. He faces up to seven years in prison.
The lack of qualified pilots in the country forces airlines to use whoever is available, said Roman Gusarov, an editor of Avia.ru, a Russian aviation website.
"There is a serious deficit in qualified pilots in Russia," Gusarov said. "Just because a pilot has a pilot book doesn't mean he can fly a plane."
Airlines are reduced to stealing pilots from each other, Gusarov said. The skilled pilots get a high salary and might commit violations because they know that they won't be fired. For example, in many cases traces of alcohol have been found in the systems of pilots of crashed planes.
In the past several years, the government has been adding modern equipment to flight schools all over the country, and training guidelines are under review. This year, flight instructors' salaries have been doubled. Medvedev pledged last month to develop regional aviation.
But to many, the safety reforms are too little, too late and trust in Russian aviation remains low.
A scandal ensued when 24 passengers tried to leave a Transaero flight in March after a passenger noticed a hole in one of the wings. After a two-hour standoff, the crew finally let the disgruntled passengers disembark. The airline refunded only a small portion of the ticket cost.
Gusarov criticized some the reforms as unfounded.
"We've been talking about aviation safety for 10 years," Gusarov said. "But the government has done nothing until planes started falling from the sky."
Lokomotiv player Mikhail Balanin's widow, Yelena Balanina, said she does not trust the government investigation and believes that not much has changed in Russian air-travel safety. Balanina frequently flies around the country with her small daughter to visit friends. She said she uses only Russia's national carrier and largest airline, Aeroflot. It might cost more, but it's the only airline she trusts, she said.
"They say it's safer now, but that might be just talk," Balanina said. "I don't know how much of it is just words, and how much is the truth."

Rolls-Royce is well-known for its plush cars with infinite refinements. It is not generally known for its electric ventures. The company has dipped its fingers in autonomous electric ferries, as well as an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft concept. So why not the world’s fastest electric airplane?
Rolls-Royce Toys With Fastest Electric Airplane Plan
Red Bull Air Race, we’ve been ready and dearly waiting for electric plane races that would make for a sensational addition to your thrilling air races. Perhaps Rolls-Royce can jump-start e-plane racing. [Editor’s note: Rolls Royce is an aerospace, power and defense company, and is not associated with Rolls-Royce Motors; an automotive brand owned by BMW.]
According to Flying Magazine, Rolls-Royce is working on another electric project that takes to the sky in its Gloucestershire airport in South West England. Its Accelerating the Electrification of Flight (ACCEL) project seeks to explore the high-power electrical system for demonstrator aircraft. With the same token, Rolls Royce wants to build and fly the world’s fastest e-plane.
Technically, this is a joint venture with the UK government, Rolls-Royce, the British electric motor maker YASA, and Electroflight Ltd. Rolls-Royce wants to leverage Yasa’s high-power, lightweight electric motors for aerospace by simply making the world’s fastest e-plane. Electroflight’s expertise lies with high-performance electric powertrains and energy storage systems, which leads me to think the aircraft will have the capacity to recoup energy when decelerating?
Performance wise, the e-plane is expected to reach 300 mph (261 knots, 483 km/h). The press release hints that the e-plane could reach higher speeds, “quite likely more.” It will take to the skies in Great Britain by 2020. Unfortunately, all we know is that the aircraft will use 6,000 battery cells and will have a 200-mile range, enough for a London to Paris flight (214 miles).
According to Matheu Parr, ACCEL Project Manager for Rolls-Royce:
“This plane will be powered by a state-of-the-art electrical system and the most powerful battery ever built for flight. In the year ahead, we’re going to demonstrate its abilities in demanding test environments before going for gold in 2020 from a landing strip on the Welsh coastline.”
Rolls-Royce Pursues Electric Air Mobility
According to Rolls-Royce’s press release, the high-performance e-plane will be unlike anything the world has ever seen. And Rolls-Royce is quick to highlight its venerable aerospace achievements. It won the Schneider Trophy in 1931, which started its aerospace career. The British racing seaplane, known as the Supermarine S.6B, established a speed record at 343 mph. The current e-plane record was set by Siemens at 210 mph in 2017. Parr and his team hint that: “and they even have their eyes on the Supermarine record.”
The challenges that need to be overcome are obvious. Design and build a battery powerful enough to beat a series of speed and performance records. It has to be light enough for flight and not overheat. For this, Parr says:
“We’re monitoring more than 20,000 data points per second, measuring battery voltage, temperature, and overall health of the powertrain, which is responsible for powering the propellers and generating thrust.”
Rolls-Royce seems committed to the electrification of air travel. The company is well known for its jet engines, found on many airliners today. It makes sense to move into the electrification of aviation. Indeed, in a previous press release, Rob Watson, Director of Electrical, Rolls-Royce: “The increased use of electrical systems is an inescapable trend in our markets and championing electrification is a core part of our long-term strategy at Rolls-Royce.”
So, Red Bull Air Race, ready for electric airplanes? We are.

There is, for example, a rocket booster landing attempt from August 2014 which failed due to a malfunctioning engine sensor. Then he went and did the damn thing.
The SpaceX CEO shared a blooper reel on Thursday showing the company's many failed rocket landings - and his running commentary over them is half of the fun. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
The first successful rocket landing by SpaceX was in December 2015.
Elon Musk's spaceflight startup SpaceX is one of the most important new companies on the planet.
The conflagrations really are like no other, and Elon insists that they're "just a scratch" or a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" in some cases. Just not in one piece", and "Not an explosion.
"The course of true love never did run smooth", a caption reads.
"You are my everything", The SpaceX video states.
"We messed up a lot before it finally worked, but there's some epic explosion footage", Musk said recently on Twitter.
SpaceX has been working on making their fairings - the cones that protect a rocket's payload - reusable, and that begins by successfully landing and recovering the used cones. The landing of flight 23 resulted in the first stable FULL landing at sea in April of 2016.
SpaceX has now landed 16 first-stage boosters - seven on land and nine on a floating drone ship in the ocean.

MIR SPACE STATION TO BE ABANDONED.
Publication: Monitor Volume: 4 Issue: 87
A Russian Space Agency official announced on April 28 that the problem-plagued Mir space station will be gradually lowered in its orbit and, sometime next year, will be abandoned and allowed to plunge to its destruction. According to Yuri Semenov, president of the state-run Energia, a cargo ship set to dock with Mir on May 17 will use its engines to begin pulling Mir closer to Earth. That process will be repeated over the coming months as other ships dock with the space station. The plan is to lower Mir from its current orbit some 250 miles above the earth to one of about ninety miles by December of next year. Mir’s final plunge could be postponed if delays continue in the launching of the new international space station, Semenov said.
Semenov’s announcement that the twelve-year-old space station would soon be retired appeared to catch some officials in Russia’s space program by surprise. But the station — whose service life was originally projected at three years — suffered a number of mechanical problems last year and narrowly survived a collision with a cargo ship. Financial pressures appear also to have played a part in the decision. The Russian government cut spending on space by a third in this year’s budget, while the United States has reportedly exerted pressure on the Russian Space Agency to devote more of its resources to the new space station and less to Mir. Russian delays have helped put the launching of the international space station considerably behind schedule.
Semenov, meanwhile, bemoaned Mir’s upcoming demise as being also the end of Russia’s lead in an important area of space exploration. “The end of Mir will mark the end of Russia’s world leadership in orbital space exploration,” Semenov said. “Henceforth, Russia will only be able to perform supporting roles in space.” Mir’s final plunge into the atmosphere, meanwhile, may not occur without some controversy. Some observers have charged that the 120-ton station may not burn up entirely during its reentry and that fragments from the station could pose a danger. Semenov said only that the remains are expected to land in the ocean. (AP, Itar-Tass, April 28; Itar-Tass, The Washington Post, April 30)

When it comes to buying a drone, whether high-end or low-budget, you need to consider several factors.
The reason is you need to buy a drone that will suit your needs, for example, aerial video shooting, racing or aerial acrobatics. Many drones are being released to the market, which means you should look out for the latest models.
Among the factors to consider is the ease of finding replacement parts, quality of the material and the battery life. One excellent brand you should consider buying is the YUNEEC TYPHOON H WITH INTEL (REALSENSE) TECHNOLOGY drone. This review looks at the features of the Typhoon H in detail, their benefits, and finally delivers its conclusion.
Features and Benefits
Intel (RealSense) Technology
The Typhoon H makes a 3D model of the surroundings that you’re flying it, resulting in it navigating the place successfully. It creates routes around obstacles using, meaning that it prevents possible collisions.
ST16 All-In-One Controller
Some models require you to have a separate tablet or phone for control purposes. The Typhoon H doesn’t need you to have these devices. That’s because it comes with the ST16 all-in-one controller, extra battery, extra pops, backpack, Wizard and an integrated Android touch screen 7-inch.
EASY TO FLY
You want drones that are easy to fly. The Typhoon H provides you with 8 flight modes that include curved cable, journey, orbit, point of interest and much more. Another feature that makes it easy to maneuver is the flight control, which is GPS stabilized and ensures it maintains its position. With a push of a button, your drone can take off while the auto landing makes sure that it returns home safely.
SAFE TO FLY
The ultrasonic proximity detection feature prevents the Typhoon from hitting obstacles while the 6 rotor safety and 5 rotor failsafe ensures that your drone stays in the air, even if its motor fails. The result is you get the best value for your money.
4K STUNNING VIDEO & IMAGE QUALITY
The Typhoon H comes with anti-vibration Gimbal (360-degree) and brand new CGO3+ camera which enable you to come up with breathtaking 4K videos along with excellent image quality. The landing gear of this drone is among the best since it can remove itself from shots, which means you get unobstructed views. Using the team mode, you can fly the drone while your colleague films and captures the best shots.
- The built-in collision avoidance ensures you enjoy flying the Typhoon H. For instance; this drone successfully navigates around obstacles.
- It comes with an all-one-controller and extra battery, which means that you find it easier to control it while enjoying extended flying hours.
- The Typhoon H provides you with the opportunity to get stunning videos and excellent image quality.
- You don’t require experience to fly it. The auto takeoff, auto land and automatic return home capabilities along with stabilized flight control GPS ensure your drones are safe.
- The Typhoon H remembers its environment, which prevents chances of collisions. It means that your drone will last longer.
5 Factors to Consider When Buying a Drone
When buying drones, make sure you check the quality of their material. For example, you want your drone to last longer, which means you don’t want to buy one that will break after its first crash.
Ensure you ask the ease of finding their replacement parts. Most of them are available at online shops, which mean you should get motors, batteries, landing gears and controllers easily.
It’s crucial that you purchase a drone with an extra battery, for example, the Typhoon H. it will ensure that you can change batteries between flights. Remember high-end models such as the Typhoon offer you flight time that lasts 15-25 minutes.
Your needs should be the guiding factor when buying them. The market has brands for aerial acrobatics, racing, photography, and videography, meaning you should identify your needs.
Read online reviws of the latest models to ensure you find trustworthy information. It will make sure you buy those with features that suit your needs.
The cost of these devices varies, the reason being that they come with different features and materials. It means you should check your budget estimates and needs before purchasing them. High-end models such as the Typhoon H provide you with the best features and are durable. On the other hand, low-cost models come with fewer features and break quickly, resulting in them failing to function.
The YUNEEC TYPHOON H WITH INTEL (REALSENSE) TECHNOLOGY is one drone with features that will serve you well. It remembers its environment, which means that possible collisions are prevented. The extra battery ensures you enjoy extended flight moments, the result being stunning videos with excellent image quality.

The plane landed successfully at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport on Wednesday afternoon. Mechanics are examining and repairing the plane.
A Xiamen-Shanghai flight landed safely at Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport on Wednesday afternoon after its crew reported the jet hit birds just after take-off.
The captain of the China Eastern Airlines flight MU5666, which had been bound for Shanghai, declared an emergency after a bird flew straight into his pilot-side window.
The plane, which had taken off from the Xiamen Gaoqi International Airport at 13:29, made a safe landing there shortly after the incident. Ground crews later found serious damage to the windshield, which was dotted with the bird’s blood and feathers.
A Xiamen ATC station spokesman said no passengers were injured. The flight was canceled and the passengers were placed aboard another aircraft for the flight to Shanghai.
China Eastern Airlines confirmed the bird strike incident later and praised their crew for handling it calmly. The airline said the plane landed successfully, and that their mechanics have examined and repaired the plane.
Bird strike incidents are more common in Spring and Autumn when there are a lot of birds migrating through the sky, the airline said, and their crew have gained a lot of experience in dealing with such incidents.
Bird collisions with airplanes can be dangerous if they damage engines, the windshield, or certain other parts of the plane, experts explained.

Long Range Quadcopter testing by squishy
Rating: 4.33 6 ratings
Posted: October 24, 2012 | 13,600 views
Long range video test, flying out and back to .8 miles (1.38Km). Total flight distance of 1.73 miles (2.78Km) and flight time of 4:10. I still need to purchase some new 4 cell batteries, 4 cell is the way to go for quadcopters and I hope to improve this flight time and range even further. This was only a 2200mah 4 cell battery.

I've been (half-heartedly) watching For All Mankind on Apple TV+ and this week they mentioned the Soviet Buran space shuttle and the fact that the Soviets had stolen the plans from America. Got me curious so I looked into it. The coolest thing the Buran had was jet engine where the Shuttles rocket engines were. I'd take the Shuttle design any day..

Does Titan have radiation?
Thankfully, Titan has several energy sources that might one day power a colony, an analysis shows.
For all its alien strangeness, Titan is remarkably Earth-like.
A thick atmosphere protects its solid surface from damaging radiation and it is the only other place in the solar system with liquid on its surface..
When did humans almost go extinct?
Around 70,000 years ago, humanity’s global population dropped down to only a few thousand individuals, and it had major effects on our species. One theory claims that a massive supervolcano in Indonesia erupted, blackening the sky with ash, plunging earth into an ice age, and killing off all but the hardiest humans.
Are there any habitable planets?
11 billion of these estimated planets may be orbiting Sun-like stars. The nearest such planet may be 12 light-years away, according to the scientists. As of March 2020, a total of 55 potentially habitable exoplanets have been found.
Has anyone visited Mars?
The first successful flyby of Mars was on 14–15 July 1965, by NASA’s Mariner 4. On November 14, 1971, Mariner 9 became the first space probe to orbit another planet when it entered into orbit around Mars. … The Soviet probes Phobos 1 and 2 were sent to Mars in 1988 to study Mars and its two moons, with a focus on Phobos.
Could Mars have been habitable?
To date, no proof has been found of past or present life on Mars. Cumulative evidence shows that during the ancient Noachian time period, the surface environment of Mars had liquid water and may have been habitable for microorganisms.
Is Titan better than Mars?
Mars seems like a more plausible short-term prospect due mainly to its nearness, but Titan may ultimately be the more valuable long-term option due to its nitrogen and its radiation protection. The biggest obstacle of living on Titan is bound to be it’s insane cold.
Will humans go extinct?
The short answer is yes. The fossil record shows everything goes extinct, eventually. Almost all species that ever lived, over 99.9%, are extinct. … Humans are inevitably heading for extinction.
Does Mars have oxygen?
There is not much air on Mars — the atmospheric pressure there is less than one one-hundredth of what we breathe on Earth — but what little is there has baffled planetary scientists. Oxygen, which makes up about 0.13 percent of the Martian atmosphere, is the latest puzzler.
Will dogs go extinct?
If you follow the history of dogs, you’ll see that many breeds come and go. But unlike other animals that become extinct due to environmental factors, dogs tend to disappear for more superficial reasons: they simply become unfashionable.
Can we live in Venus?
To date, no definitive proof has been found of past or present life on Venus. … With extreme surface temperatures reaching nearly 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F) and an atmospheric pressure 90 times that of Earth, the conditions on Venus make water-based life as we know it unlikely on the surface of the planet.
Does moon have oxygen?
The lunar surface and interior, however, are virtually devoid of oxygen, so pristine metallic iron is prevalent on the Moon and highly oxidized iron has not been confirmed in samples returned from the Apollo missions. In addition, hydrogen in solar wind blasts the lunar surface, which acts in opposition to oxidation.
Is there any food on Mars?
Food production on Mars The storable food from Earth will only serve as emergency rations, which means the astronauts will try to eat as much fresh food that they produce on Mars as possible. It is likely that algae and insects will also be part of the diet on Mars.
Can humans survive on Titan?
Plus, Titan is the only place in the solar system, other than Earth, with stable surface liquids: Titan has lakes and seas on its surface. … But these damaging particles cannot make it to Titan’s surface; they’re absorbed by the atmosphere, meaning that it’s a safe environment for humans.
Can we breathe on Mars?
Mars does have an atmosphere, but it is about 100 times thinner than Earth’s atmosphere and it has very little oxygen. The atmosphere on Mars is made up of mainly carbon dioxide. An astronaut on Mars would not be able to breathe the Martian air and would need a spacesuit with oxygen to work outdoors.
Who was the first human?
Homo habilisThe First Humans One of the earliest known humans is Homo habilis, or “handy man,” who lived about 2.4 million to 1.4 million years ago in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Is there oil on Mars?
Nearly all coal and oil on Earth and most sedimentary source rocks associated with coal, oil, and natural gas contain molecules of biological origin and is proof of past life. If Mars possessed an Earth-like biosphere in the past, Mars may contain subsurface deposits of oil and natural gas indicating past life.
Who is going to Mars in 2024?
SpaceX’s aspirational goal has been to land the first humans on Mars by 2024, but in October 2020 Elon Musk named 2024 as goal for an uncrewed mission, with a crewed mission to follow later….SpaceX Mars program.OrganizationSpaceXPurposeColonization of MarsStatusPlannedProgram historyFirst flightc. 20245 more rows
Who is going to Mars in 2023?
AMERSFOORT, THE NETHERLANDS, 31 May 2012 – Today Mars One announced its plan to establish a human settlement on Mars in 2023. Every two years after that a new crew will join the settlement.
Will we ever colonize space?
We may have people making habitats on asteroids … I know that humans will colonize the solar system and one day go beyond. … Based on his Copernican principle, J. Richard Gott has estimated that the human race could survive for another 7.8 million years, but it is not likely to ever colonize other planets.
Is it possible for humans to colonize Mars?
Organizations have proposed plans for a human mission to Mars, the first step towards any colonization effort, but no person has set foot on the planet. However, landers and rovers have successfully explored the planetary surface and delivered information about conditions on the ground.
Does Mars have gold?
In these meteorites, called SNCs, many important elements have been detected. Magnesium, Aluminium, Titanium, Iron, and Chromium are relatively common in them. In addition, lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, niobium, molybdenum, lanthanum, europium, tungsten, and gold have been found in trace amounts.
Can you get pregnant in space?
As a result NASA’s official policy forbids pregnancy in space. Female astronauts are tested regularly in the 10 days prior to launch. And sex in space is very much frowned upon.
Can we live in space?
Life in space Space is very dangerous – and without protection, people would not be able to survive there. In space, there’s no air – so you couldn’t breathe. It’s cold – so you’d freeze. And there’s lots of nasty radiation (from the Sun, and from the rest of the Universe), so you’d get really, really bad sunburn.

From his headquarters in a burgeoning industrial park off U.S. 41 in Tampa, the head of a drone technology firm said the recent scare at London's Gatwick International Airport was yet another red flag about the potential for danger, accidental or intentional, posed by drones.
Last month, more than 140,000 passengers were delayed by the cancellation of more than 1,000 flights at Gatwick over concern that drones were being illegally flown in the area, according to reports.
The incident, still under investigation, "shows the need to have a proactive approach" to detecting and acting against potential drone threats, said Ryan English, CEO and co-founder of FLYMOTION. Among other things, the company created five years ago provides innovative technology, including drone support, to local, state and federal law enforcement and first responder agencies and the Department of Defense. FLYMOTION also helps detect drones in real time so that counter measures can be taken as soon as they get off the ground.
One recent example took place at the Fort Lauderdale Airshow in May, English said.
Brought in by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department to help protect the show, which featured the Navy's Blue Angel aerial demonstration team, FLYMOTION detected 46 drone flights in the temporary flight restriction zone set up by the Federal Aviation Administration. Seven of those drones were detected in the airspace where the performances were taking place. By tracing the drone signals back to the base station operating them, FLYMOTION helped police track down some of those disregarding the rules.
By honing in on the radio frequency links between the base stations and drones, FLYMOTION "detected, identified and located all 46 flights," said English, a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

The weaponization of drones is an increasing concern for the military and law enforcement.
In 2016, the Iraqi offensive against the Islamic State in Mosul "almost came to a screeching halt" because of weaponized drones worth just $2,000 or so each, according to Army Gen. Raymond A. "Tony" Thomas III, head of U.S. Special Operations Command. At one point, Thomas said, there were 12 enemy drones — "killer bees," he called them — "dropping 40mm nuggets. It was an immediate challenge."
In October, FBI director Christopher Wray told the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the threat from drones "is steadily escalating," according to Reuters. His comments came days after President Donald Trump signed into law legislation that gives the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI new powers to disable or destroy drones that pose a threat to government facilities.
A month later, Homeland Security officials put out a request seeking information about counter drone measures because drones "have quickly become a security concern due to the ease with which they can aid in intelligence gathering and/or be used as a malicious delivery platform."
And in December, the New York City Police Department announced it would be operating its own fleet of drones for aerial surveillance.
Drones are also a big concern of U.S. Special Operations Command, headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base. In 2017, the command helped sponsor what it called the "Game of Drones" contest, offering more than $600,000 in prize money to help find the best ways of countering small drones that threaten U.S. and allied forces.
The contest was held in Nevada, sponsored by SOCom along with two other organizations: Afwerx, an Air Force technology incubator, and the Pentagon's Strategic Capabilities Office.
It kicked off locally at the Sofwerx incubator in Ybor City, which continues to explore drone technology.
• • •
FLYMOTION operates out of a 3,000 square-foot facility, owns dozens of drones and has a fleet of vehicles including a Mercedes Sprinter van outfitted as a mobile command center. English co-founded the company with a fellow first responder veteran named David Stratchko. One of the many technology solutions the company provides is a system that can detect drones for about a 35-mile radius. As an example of just how many drones are flying around Tampa, the system has detected 534 drone flights since Dec. 1 from its headquarters in an area that includes both MacDill and Tampa International Airport.
Emily Nipps, a spokeswoman for TIA, said the airport does not have drone countering technology because the FAA has stated that they are working on the issue and do not want airports creating their own anti-drone programs.
English said because of domestic legal and liability issues, his company relies on technology that pinpoints where drones are launched from so that authorities can respond.
Skip Parish, a Sarasota drone inventor, said that after the Gatwick incident, he told Sussex Police to consider technology to track drone controllers, coupled with a hard kill laser cannon which "targets and downs" small drones greater than two miles away.
Drones now "have the ability to travel faster than a Vietnam-era A4 fighter jet in vertical acceleration," said Parish, who has worked on counter drone measures with both the U.S. military and NATO. "They can be carried in a backpack, and can navigate without human control links while at the same time using machine vision to ID and act on ground and air objects."
The future, said Parish, is worrisome.
"Given that near future civilian small drones can get internal guidance — without the need for GPS — and use AI machine vision we now find programed in computer games, the outlook for protection of sensitive areas is not optimistic at best," he said.

Surprisingly, a US commercial lunar lander that began leaking fuel shortly after launch on Monday is still operational. The space company Astrobotic stated that the Peregrine rover is “stable and ready to operate” and is on its way to the moon, and has enough fuel for 52 hours and perhaps longer. Undaunted, the lunar lander continues to collect data, but the hope of a historic lunar landing has faded.
No commercial company has ever succeeded in landing on the moon. The American company Astrobotic, which designed and built the Peregrine lander, will not make it either. The takeoff went smoothly on Monday, but fuel soon began leaking. The space company now hopes the mission will last as long as possible, so Peregrine can collect as much data as possible along the way. This could help with subsequent flights to the Moon. “We are looking into alternative mission objectives that are still possible,” the company said.
It’s clear that Peregrine is doing his best and Astrobotic’s engineers are doing a hard job. There is growing optimism that a lunar lander may survive longer than 52 hours. This is already much more than was estimated in previous reports. The rate of fuel leakage from the lunar lander appears to decrease over time. There’s not enough fuel for a smooth landing anyway.
Peregrine’s mission was initially intended mainly to practice flying to the Moon and making a hard landing there. The United States wants to put humans back on the moon and bring them back in the coming years, and hopes companies can help build bases on the moon. For example, they can transport goods by plane. The Shaheen is 2.5 meters wide and about 2 meters high, and can carry a payload of up to 265 kilograms.
At the end of this year, Astrobotic wants to bring a larger lander to the Moon, with an unmanned rover on board. It will search for traces of water ice at the moon’s south pole.
So far, only the United States, the Soviet Union, China and India have succeeded in landing safely on the moon. Attempts by Israel and a Japanese company, among others, failed, as did the first Indian landing on the moon.

Wednesday night saw some action at the Delhi airport when an engine of an empty Boeing 777 aircraft of Air India shut down, during a technical inspection. This was issued in a statement by the airline authorities early on Thursday morning.
As per the statement, airport fire personnel observed that black fumes were coming out of the engine’s exhaust. They diligently sprayed foam on it.
The airline further added that during a routine technical examination that an engineer was conducting at the Delhi airport on Wednesday night, auto shutdown of the auxiliary power unit (APU) took place. The APU is the smallest engine on an aircraft and is situated at the far end and provides power to start the main engines.

(Space.com) Is the end near for Mars Odyssey? Trump’s proposed 2021 budget could doom long-lived mission
The new budget request includes a massive cut to Mars Odyssey that effectively ends its mission
NASA’s longest-running Mars mission may be on the chopping block.
While President Donald Trump’s 2021 budget request clearly threatened NASA missions like the jet-borne telescope SOFIA, another potential shutdown was tucked inside the request. Proposed cuts to the 2001 Mars Odyssey program would bring its budget to a scant million dollars a year, effectively terminating the mission. The budget request is just that, a request; Congress makes the ultimate decision about budgets and can choose to continue funding the mission. Nevertheless, the threat has Mars scientists anxious about the mission’s future.
“I can’t think of any situation where you would say, OK, let’s just turn it off,” said Tanya Harrison, an imaging scientist at Planet Labs who previously studied Mars and has relied on Odyssey observations. “You never know what you’re going to find if you keep going with these missions.”
Odyssey launched in April 2001, arriving in orbit around the Red Planet six months later. Within a year of its launch, the spacecraft found water ice beneath the ground, the first direct evidence of subsurface water on the Red Planet. Since then, the spacecraft has made a number of important discoveries and observations, including the longest continuous observations of Martian weather.
But science isn’t all Odyssey does. Right now, it’s also the primary communications connection for the Curiosity rover. “It’s the workhorse for sending data back from the rovers,” Odyssey team member Phil Christensen told Space.com. Christensen, a planetary scientist at Arizona State University, leads the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) instrument on Mars Odyssey. With NASA’s next Mars rover, Perseverance (formerly known as Mars 2020), scheduled to arrive in February 2021, a communication crisis could become a future concern.
The proposed defunding is even more puzzling, the scientists said, because the spacecraft is in relatively good health and has enough fuel to last up to a decade longer. “Something else [on the spacecraft] will die before we run out of fuel,” Christensen predicted.
True, a series of strong solar flares put one instrument out of commission in 2003. And the spacecraft lost one of its reaction wheels in 2012, though its existing three are sufficient to point Odyssey in the right direction. But despite approaching its second decade, the spacecraft appears to have a bright scientific future in store — assuming it survives the 2021 budget proposal.
The concerns all stem from Trump’s budget request, a document the executive branch sends Congress to start the annual budget process. The request outlined presidential priorities and how the administration would like money to be allocated for the fiscal year beginning in October.
That request highlighted the proposed cancellation of the SOFIA and WFIRST space telescopes, the latter of which previous requests have also targeted. In contrast, Odyssey’s changes were tucked away in hundreds of pages of documents. There, a chart cuts Odyssey’s budget from $11.5 million in 2019 to $1 million in 2021 and no funding in later years (fiscal year 2020 is only partially enacted at this point and so is not listed). No explanation for it is given.
It’s easy to shrug off the long-lived mission, which has already received eight mission extensions. But when it comes to spacecraft, a functioning mission is worth more than might be expected. A colleague once told Christensen that a pile of parts is worth a certain amount value, which increases when the parts are assembled and again when a spacecraft survives the rugged testing required of space-faring machinery. But once the spacecraft is functioning at Mars, the value is without measure.
“When it’s in orbit and has proven itself for 20 years, it’s literally a priceless resource,” Christensen said. “Why would you turn off something that’s already there and working and doing a great job?”
Money is most likely the motivating factor. The NASA budget tends to be a zero-sum game, with few overall increases. And the agency wants to beef up a program to bring samples home from Mars, which generally requires moving money from another NASA column in the budget request. That’s what Christensen suspects is happening.
Odyssey isn’t the only Mars mission facing a requested budget reduction. The 2021 budget also proposes cutting the Curiosity rover’s funds by about 25%, a substantial hit for the brave little rover. Christensen suspects that the $10 million cut from Odyssey and $10 million from Curiosity has all been applied to a sample return mission. At the same time, the Mars Future Mission program request jumped by nearly $200 million in 2021 alone, with funding forecast to increase further over the next five years.
But to Christensen, it doesn’t make sense to scrap Odyssey to make that happen. “Sample return is going to be a multibillion-dollar endeavor,” he said. “In the big picture, saving $10 million isn’t really that important.”
Bringing rocks back from Mars is something Mars scientists have long fought for. Coincidentally, Christensen said he’s spent many years advocating for sample return because he thinks it’s important. And he’s sure that shutting down Odyssey isn’t something that NASA administrators are undertaking lightly.
“They’ve got some tough decisions to make,” he said.
A rock and a hard place
NASA has struggled through proposed budget cuts in the past that failed to kill their missions. The SOFIA “telescope on a plane” mission has lost funding in presidential budget requests several times over the past few years, yet it’s still flying.
But if Congress goes along with the Odyssey cancellation, the process will be long and complicated. The Odyssey mission control room sits not at a NASA center but at Lockheed Martin’s Colorado office.
A spacecraft can’t just be turned off, especially not one orbiting a world with potentially habitable environments, like Mars. Exactly how Lockheed Martin would decommission Odyssey has not yet been disclosed. According to a member of the Odyssey team who wished to remain anonymous, NASA has declined to acknowledge the proposed budget cut to the team or take steps to decommission the spacecraft, according to team members.
NASA did not respond to requests from this reporter for the decommissioning plan and postponed interview requests, At NASA’s request, Lockheed Martin canceled a scheduled interview to discuss the subject, leaving not only the Odyssey team but also the public in the dark.
In January, NASA and Lockheed Martin shut down the Spitzer Space Telescope, an infrared instrument orbiting the sun behind Earth. That decommissioning took roughly six months of coordination between the two organizations. “It’s not a trivial process to decommission a spacecraft,” Christensen said.
To close its mission by October 2020, when the proposed 2021 budget goes into effect, the spacecraft would likely have to begin its decommissioning program about six months earlier. If the budget hasn’t been sorted out by May 1, 2020, the Lockheed Martin team may find itself between a rock and a hard place.
One option is to continue operating the spacecraft as normal, fingers crossed tightly for a budgetary rescue. If Congress stands by the spacecraft, the mission will continue into its second decade and hopefully beyond that. But otherwise, the private company may find itself scrambling at the last minute to rush the decommissioning process, potentially causing entirely new problems.
The other, more likely option according to the confidential source is that the company will balk at the potential funding loss and begin the shutdown process. (Without comment from NASA or Lockheed Martin, it’s unknown what other steps would be required to decommission the spacecraft.)
Both Christensen and the anonymous source said that they’ve heard rumors that Odyssey would dump its fuel at some point between May and October. Christensen speculated that could be a step to prevent potential explosions in the future, which would litter the Martian atmosphere with thousands of pieces of debris.
Once the spacecraft has dumped its fuel, even an increased budget wouldn’t save Odyssey. Without fuel, the spacecraft won’t be able to point or transmit. If unchanged, its current orbit should keep it drifting around Mars for another 30 years, per the guidelines that prevent a spacecraft from impacting a planet within 50 years of leaving Earth.

US heavyweights AT&T and Verizon reportedly offered to limit power generated from 5G towers for a period of six months while regulators assess the effects of next-generation signals on aircraft sensors, following concerns raised by the aviation industry.
In a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) seen by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the operators reportedly pledged to minimise the energy coming from 5G base stations nationwide, and around public airports and helipads until July 2022.
AT&T previously delayed rollout of 5G services on C-Band spectrum by a month and pledged to work with regulators to address concerns about possible interference with aircraft safety systems. At the time, WSJ reported Verizon had also pushed back its launch.
In their letter to the FCC, AT&T and Verizon reportedly stated while they remained confident “5G poses no risk to air safety, we are also sensitive to the Federal Aviation Administration’s desire for additional analysis of this issue”.
The WSJ pointed out it is rare for operators to voluntarily limit their services. Verizon and AT&T invested $53 billion and $23.4 billion respectively on C-Band licences, in addition to billions to ready their service launches.
A Federal Aviation Administration representative told WSJ the latest proposal was an important and encouraging step, while an FCC representative explained the limits “represent one of the most comprehensive efforts in the world to safeguard aviation technologies”.

I am so freakin' excited for today! History will be made as NASA launches astronauts into space from the USA for the first time since the end of the shuttle program! In a partnership with SpaceX, it will mark the first time that a private program has helped NASA get to space orbit! I love absolutely everything about space travel. My grandfather worked with NASA through RCA and helped develop the Apollo program, so this is near and dear to my heart! The launch today is set for 4:33pm EDT and you can watch it all unfold below!

An Unusual Assignment for Two of Santa’s Reindeer
Dasher and Prancer, two of Santa’s elite A-team of reindeer, have been assigned duty with the test flight team, presently working over the skies of Sector 2 in Asia.
It has been decades since the test flight team has seen any of Santa’s starting reindeer. And back then such an assignment was usually made for training or rehabilitation duties related to the health of one of Santa’s team. But this time it is different.
This time it is classified. We cannot disclose at this time why Dasher and Prancer are being sent.
We will say that they will be performing special duties related to the latest version of the sleigh being tested. The sleigh has had many performance issues this year and some are growing concerned that this design will not be ready for Santa to fly this Christmas.
Dasher and Prancer will travel to Sector 2 and meet up with the test flight teams before the launch of the latest version of the sleigh.
How long they will be there and serving in this capacity is not known at this time.
As more news becomes available, we will inform you.
- New Sleigh Design Approved for Test Flights - May 25, 2023
- New Sleigh Design Rejected - April 30, 2023

Aviation Lawyer Keith Williams Discusses the Dangers of Load Shift and Lets You In On An Alarming Fact About Commercial Planes
When cargo planes crash, it can usually be traced to weather or pilot error, or sometimes mechanical failure. However, there is one culprit that is a constant danger to cargo planes and their ability to fly safely and that is “load shift”. In a cargo plane, the load has to be perfectly balanced to as not to throw the pitch or balance off on the plane. Once loaded, it has to be secure so it doesn’t shift in flight, causing a catastrophic crash like the one that happened recently. In this instance, a Boeing jet was taking off from Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan when it crashed immediately after take off and all 7 people aboard were killed. Witnesses say the jet took off into a steep climb, seemed to lose power, rolled to one side and then crashed into the ground. The Air Base acknowledges that planes to attain high altitudes more quickly from the air base to evade possible attack by RPGs packing rebels in the area. However, insiders say it could well have been that the load shifted immediately after take off and that could have caused the crash.
People in the cargo business say there is a very specific way to load a cargo plane and there is little room for error. The load master is in charge of measuring and weighing the load. He checks it against the manifest to ensure that the plane doesn’t exceed it weight capacity (the plane that crashed in Afghanistan had a capacity of about 125 tons). The pilot of the plane is given all the data regarding his payload prior to take off.
However, once the plane has left the runway, there is little the pilot can do if the load shifts. In 1997, boxes of denim broke free in the hold of a DC-8 and caused the plane to nose-dive immediately after its take off in Miami. It skidded through busy Miami streets, killing one pedestrian and several crew members. While many regulations are in place, safety groups say oversight is lax.
If you’re wondering how crews figure out how to balance luggage in a commercial airliner, the short answer is “they don’t”. They load the luggage onto portable racks, lock them in the hold and that’s it. Smaller jets and personal aircraft, ones that have a lighter weight limit, are stricter on what and how much they carry; even requiring people disclose how much the weigh.
Right now, all we can do is offer our condolences to the families of those lost in the recent crash while we wait for the final report on the crash to be completed and released. It will be interesting to see if the industry insider’s hunch is correct and a load shift caused the latest cargo plane disaster.

NASA captured a truly ‘EPIC’ picture of Earth from 1 million miles away.
NASA’s recently launched Deep Space Climate Observatory, abbreviated DSCOVR, released its first image of the entire sunlit side of Earth seen from approximately 1 million miles away. The satellite captured the photograph from Lagrange Point 1, a gravitationally stable location between the Earth and the Sun.
The image was captured by the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera — EPIC for short — aboard NASA’s DSCOVR satellite on July 6, 2015. It is the first image of Earth captured by DSCOVR that shows the entire sunlit portion of the planet. DSCOVR will soon begin capturing daily images of Earth, which will, for the first time, provide daily observations across the entire planet.
“Earth. Not mounted on a stand, with color-coded state and national boundaries, as schoolroom globes are prone to display. Instead, we see our world as only a cosmic perspective can provide: blue oceans, dry land, white clouds, polar ice. A sun-lit planet, teeming with life, framed in darkness.” astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson said in a White House press release.
The image was released on Monday, July 20, which marked the 46th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Astronauts aboard the Apollo 17 lunar mission were the first to capture an image of an almost completely illuminated hemisphere of Earth on Dec. 7, 1972. That image became one of the most iconic photographs of the space age and has come to be known as The Blue Marble.
“The image was generated by combining three separate images to create a photographic-quality image.” NASA said in a statement. “The camera takes a series of 10 images using different narrowband filters — from ultraviolet to near infrared — to produce a variety of science products. The red, green and blue channel images are used in these color images.”
“This Earth image shows the effects of sunlight scattered by air molecules, giving the image a characteristic bluish tint,” NASA added. “The EPIC team is working to remove this atmospheric effect from subsequent images.”
DSCOVR is a space weather and Earth observation satellite operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The satellite was launched on Feb. 11, 2015, atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. DSCOVR was the first deep space mission launched by SpaceX.

Hyderabad, TS, INDIA (14 August, 2022) Dhruva Space Private Limited is pleased to share that on August 10, the startup successfully accomplished a High Altitude Balloon (HAB) mission in collaboration with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR).
The achievement was completed in light of the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence - ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.’ This initiative by the Government of India celebrates and commemorates a landmark chapter of the country’s Independence as well as the history of the people, cultures, and achievements.
The purpose of a High Altitude Balloon mission is to undertake experiments in near-Space conditions. These large balloons filled with helium or hydrogen are released at ground level with payloads attached, climbing to a maximum altitude of around 30 kilometres. The balloon then bursts and the payload returns to Earth via parachute. The payloads and science data are then recovered.
Dhruva Space’s HAB mission had support from Hyderabad’s amateur radio clubs: National Institute of Amateur Radio, Star Fleet Amateur Radio Club, and Lamakaan Amateur Radio Club. This mission primarily enabled extensive testing of Dhruva Space’s P-DoT CubeSat’s telemetry, telecommand and beacon links with the startup’s ground stations.
Pleased with the mission success, Sanjay Nekkanti, CEO, Dhruva Space, says, “Through our collaboration with amateur radio clubs and operators across Hyderabad, Telangana, we want to enable many more amateur radio enthusiasts to be able to operate, test and learn in the journey of our first satellite mission. We anticipate this will encourage individuals, institutions and corporations to embrace the knowledge that amateur radio can contribute to their overall development. We are grateful to the support extended by Tata Institute of Fundamental Research for supporting our initiative, and look forward to more partnerships.”
Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is a National Centre of the Government of India, under the umbrella of the Department of Atomic Energy, as well as a deemed University awarding degrees for Master's and Doctoral programs. The Institute was founded in 1945 with support from the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust under the vision of Dr. Homi Bhabha.
TIFR carries out basic research in physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science and science education. The main campus is located in Mumbai, with centres in Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Dhruva Space, founded in 2012, is a full-stack space engineering solutions provider based in Hyderabad, India, and in Graz, Austria. The company is active across space, launch, and ground segments, and supports civilian and defence clients worldwide.
Dhruva Space offers satellite/s coupled with Earth station/s and launch services as an integrated solution or individually as technology solutions to power space-based applications on Earth and beyond.
In October 2020, Dhruva Space was recognised with the National Startup Award by the Government of India for its efforts in Satellite and Space Technology. In June 2022, Dhruva Space became one of the first private companies to receive authorisation from IN-SPACe for space activities and later, the company's Satellite Orbital Deployer (DSOD-1U) was successfully tested and space-qualified on-board ISRO's PSLV C53 mission.

Russian bombers approaching the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan were intercepted and escorted away by Navy fighter jets on Sunday.
Two Russian TU-95 bombers flew about 80 miles from the US carrier which is operating in the Sea of Japan/ East Sea, CNN reported.
US Navy F/A-18 fighter jets were dispatched from the aircraft carrier and escorted the Russian bombers without incident, two US defense officials confirmed to CNN.
The USS Ronald Reagan was joined by two other carriers, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Nimitz, last week in the US Navy’s 7th Fleet area of operations, an area covering the western Pacific and eastern Indian oceans. The USS Nimitz aircraft carrier left the Middle East where it just finished three months fighting ISIS, according to the US Navy, Business Insider reported.
The increased US military presence in the region is certainly meant to send a strong message to North Korea, but will equally communicate that to Russia and China as well.
More than 30 interactions occurred just in June between Russian and US aircraft and ships near the Baltic Sea, according to CNN. A Russian Su-27 fighter jet flying within five feet of a US Air Force RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft in June was seen as an “unsafe” intercept.
Over the summer, Russian fighter jets and bombers flying off the coast of Alaska were met with US F-22 Raptors several times.
“The US military sees these flights as routine and they are not a cause for concern,” CNN reported per a US official.
Video of CNN’s Brooke Baldwin aboard the USS Ronald Reagan can be seen below.

2nd Lieutenant Allan Burrel, a young man from the small village of Furneaux Pelham in Hertfordshire, came near death again today. He had only 14 missions and about 16 hours of flight time since joining RFC-3 at Choques airfield.
As part of B-Flight he flew a reconnaissance mission to the front near Loos. Just as the flight approached the front at around 4300 feet his engine began to run very rough and was only able to turn around 700 RPM. He immediately turned back with the intent of returning to the airfield. But the engine seemed to run rougher and rougher, so he reluctantly cut off the engine and started to glide while looking for a safe place to land.
Unfortunately, there was a large number of forested areas where he finally ran out of altitude and was forced to choose a small field bordered by what he thought was a small road. As he rolled out after touching down, he found, much to his dismay, that what looked like a small road from the air was actually a fence!. The resulting collision destroyed his aircraft and put both pilot & observer in hospital for 7 days.
This is my second consecutive mission where there was a "system failure". I had no trouble recognizing it this time and a quick glance at the text under the TAC only confirmed what I already knew.
The first "system failure" led to my "QC" pilot being killed when hitting a tree on approach to landing when he ran out of altitude.
I sure hope the RNG treats me nicer when Allan gets out of hospital. I like getting practice at all the things a pilot needs to know but multiple, consecutive system failures make for quite "Interesting times" indeed! I shall endeavor to persevere - Chief Dan George in Outlaw Josey Wales
