Orbiting the giant planet Jupiter is the fascinating moon, Io, one of four moons discovered by Galileo in 1610. One look at Io and it is obvious that something unusual is going on there. Its mottled surface is a collage of colors-yellow, orange, red, and blackish browns - which make it look somewhat like a gigantic pizza. The explanation for this remarkable color palette is found down on the surface. Volcanoes! Io is literally bursting with volcanic activity. Volcanoes spew out vast amounts of sulfurous material which cover Io's Iandscape. Io's surface coloration reflects the various colors that sulfur takes on at different temperatures.
Fiery volcanoes pepper Io's landscape, and massive lava flows spread out over enormous distances. From its surface, geyserlike eruptions eject dust and gas hundreds of kilometers into space, which fall back to the ground in elegant umbrella-shaped plumes. Some of the hottest temperatures in the solar system outside of the sun are found here, and yet most of the surface is bitterly cold.
Intense radiation from Jupiter's atmosphere over the course of the mission has severely damaged Galileo's computer circuitry and has resulted in failure of the spacecrafts computer systems. In order to prevent the possibility of the crippled spacecraft contaminating the environment of Io's neighboring moon, Europa, which may harbor a liquid water ocean beneath its surface, the spacecraft will plunge into the atmosphere of Jupiter on September 21, 2003. At that time, after a tremendously successful eight year tour of the Jovian system, the Galileo mission will come to an end.

This could be why, lately, I've been putting my exposure to certain news reports at a minimum. The video below describes some of the capabilities of the B-1B Lancer bomber, including the ability to fly at a very low altitude in defensive maneuvers. This thing -- a heavy bomber -- literally hugs the ground. What could go wrong?
September 23, 2018: U.S. Department of Defense - Pacific Command
U.S. Bombers, Fighters Fly in International Airspace East of North Korea
Earlier today, U.S. Air Force B-1B Lancer bombers from Guam, along with U.S. Air Force F-15C Eagle fighter escorts from Okinawa, Japan, flew in international airspace over waters east of North Korea. This is the farthest north of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) any U.S. fighter or bomber aircraft have flown off North Korea’s coast in the 21st century, underscoring the seriousness with which we take the DPRK’s reckless behavior.

The $50 million stream was grounded after a vehicle of Islamabad Ground Crew (Royal Airport Services) hit the air ship, harming its body.
“A couple of quick flights have been crossed out because of the episode,” Serene Air representative disclosed to The Express Tribune.
It might take seven days to get the harmed plane repaired and bring once again into the operations, he included.
Peaceful Air, which started its flight operations on January 29, was allowed a permit by the Civil Aviation Authority in October 2016. It is the fourth operational residential aircraft; others being Pakistan International Airlines, Shaheen Air and Airblue.

If your aircraft is stored in a leased hangar, you may be surprised to find out who is responsible for aircraft damage resulting from storm or tornado damage to the hangar. What should you do to protect your investment?
As we begrudgingly make our way through the storm season, while casting a wary eye toward the 2019 hurricane season, this is a great time to review the hazards and coverage associated with these events to make sure you are adequately prepared. The U.S. has already experienced heavy rains, flooding, hail, and tornadoes this year, each bringing their own unique risks to the aviation community.
When winds exceed 50 mph, a light aircraft will do what it was designed to do – take flight! Keeping the plane grounded and intact can be as easy as attaching good tie-down straps and control locks or finding it a cozy spot in a hangar. But the risks and perils don’t stop there, and a number of aircraft owners have some misconceptions about coverage and liability when disaster strikes.
Aircraft hull/physical damage coverage will always be the aircraft owner’s first line of recovery when damage occurs. Properly valuing the aircraft on the policy will ensure the best outcome in a claim, particularly when heavy damages are sustained. Low values lead to undervalued total losses, while high values can invite extensive downtime with unwanted, time-consuming repairs. READ MORE (AOPA)

Will the asteroid affect Earth?
Asteroids with a 1 km (0.62 mi) diameter strike Earth every 500,000 years on average.
Large collisions – with 5 km (3 mi) objects – happen approximately once every twenty million years.
Due to Earth’s escape velocity, the minimum impact velocity is 11 km/s with asteroid impacts averaging around 17 km/s on the Earth..
Will the Earth die?
However, the long-term trend is for plant life to die off altogether. … By that point, all life on the Earth will be extinct. The most probable fate of the planet is absorption by the Sun in about 7.5 billion years, after the star has entered the red giant phase and expanded beyond the planet’s current orbit.
How big was the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs?
The impact site, known as the Chicxulub crater, is centred on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. The asteroid is thought to have been between 10 and 15 kilometres wide, but the velocity of its collision caused the creation of a much larger crater, 150 kilometres in diameter – the second-largest crater on the planet.
Is there a comet coming close to Earth?
Here’s how to see it live online. At that time, the comet will be 0.69 AU (astronomical units, or the average Earth-sun distance) away from Earth, according to NASA’s orbit calculator. … That’s about 64.3 million miles, or 103.5 million kilometers.
Which asteroid will hit Earth in 2019?
Asteroid 2019 SM8Asteroid 2019 SM8 was discovered by astronomers at the Mount Lemmon Observatory in Arizona on Monday (Sept. 30) and flew by Earth today at approximately 9:56 a.m. EDT (1356 GMT), according to NASA.
What will happen if a planet hit Earth?
All of Earth’s surface would be set on fire. There would be tremendous earthquakes and tsunamis, followed by massive volcanism around the impact zone. The ozone layer would be destroyed. The oceans would turn acidic.
What are the possible impacts of a 1 km asteroid hitting Earth?
If the asteroid hits on land, there would be a huge amount of dust thrown up into the atmosphere. If it hits in water, then there would be an increase in water vapor in the atmosphere. This would result in an increase in rain resulting in landslides and mudslides.
Did a planet hit Earth?
Theia /ˈθiːə/ (Θεία in greek) or Orpheus (Ορφεύς) /ˈɔːrfiːəs, ˈɔːrfjuːs/) is a hypothesized ancient planet in the early Solar System that, according to the giant-impact hypothesis, collided with the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago, with the resulting debris gathering to form the Moon.
What happens if Shoemaker Levy hits Earth?
If a similar-sized object were to hit Earth, it would be devastating. The impact might send dust and debris into the sky, creating a haze that would cool the atmosphere and absorb sunlight, enveloping the entire planet in darkness.
How would NASA stop an asteroid?
If the object is very large but is still a loosely-held-together rubble pile, a solution is to detonate one or a series of nuclear explosive devices alongside the asteroid, at a 20-meter (66 ft) or greater stand-off height above its surface, so as not to fracture the potentially loosely-held-together object.
Where did the last asteroid hit Earth?
The Chicxulub crater (/ˈtʃiːkʃʊluːb/; Mayan: [tʃʼikʃuluɓ]) is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Its center is located offshore near the town of Chicxulub, after which the crater is named.
How long did it take dinosaurs to die?
Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago (at the end of the Cretaceous Period), after living on Earth for about 165 million years.
What would happen if a 5 km asteroid hit Earth?
If an asteroid or comet with the diameter of about 5 km (3.1 mi) or more were to hit in a large deep body of water or explode before hitting the surface, there would still be an enormous amount of debris ejected into the atmosphere.
Which asteroid is coming towards Earth in 2020?
A newly discovered car-sized asteroid just made the closest-known flyby to Earth without hitting our planet. On Sunday (Aug. 16), the asteroid, initially labeled ZTF0DxQ and now formally known to astronomers as 2020 QG, swooped by Earth at a mere 1,830 miles (2,950 kilometers) away.
What are the chances an asteroid will hit Earth?
With the most recent 2015 observations, the April 12, 2068, impact probability is now 6.7 in a million (1 in 150,000), and the asteroid has a cumulative 9-in-a-million (1-in-110,000) chance of impacting Earth before 2106.
What planet crashed into Earth?
Known as Theia, the Mars-sized body collided with Earth, throwing vaporized chunks of the young planet’s crust into space. Gravity bound the ejected particles together, creating a moon that is the largest in the solar system in relation to its host planet.
How big is the asteroid that’s coming in 2020?
At roughly 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) across, asteroid 2020 QG is very small by asteroid standards: If it had actually been on an impact trajectory, it would likely have become a fireball as it broke up in Earth’s atmosphere, which happens several times a year.

A stealth F-22 Raptor flies low over Clearwater on Saturday evening, April 9. In fact, the aircraft was a model being flown over the field at Clearwater Secondary School on Saturday evening by Steve Malanka, a resident of Prince George.
Left: Steve Malanka directs his F-22 model upwards after swooping low. Malanka was in town doing some testing of equipment at the sawmill in Vavenby. He says people should learn using a simulator first rather than risk flying their new model into the ground.
Below: Photo gives an impression of the approximate size of the homemade model F-22 Raptor flown by Steve Malanka at the Clearwater Secondary School field. The battery at left gives several minutes of flight.

How helicopters get off the ground and how they are controlled while in flight.
Fort Worth, TX (WiredPRNews.com)—Helicopters have revolutionized aviation because they can do things like hover in place, fly backwards and rotate in place that fixed-aircraft cannot do. This makes them ideal for military and emergency operations where hovering and precise maneuvers are essential.
The main horizontal rotor lifts the aircraft and provides directional power when the aircraft tilts in a particular direction. According to the website How Stuff Works, the aircraft’s ability to tilt is rooted in the hub of the main rotor in a mechanical assembly known as a ‘swash plate.’ This mechanism, according to the website, allows the pilot to adjust the angle of the horizontally-spinning rotor blades, which tilts the aircraft in the desired direction.
The angle at which the rotors spin, called the angle of attack, helps determine how quickly the helicopter lifts into the air. The steeper the angle of attack, the faster the helicopter rises in altitude, according to How Stuff Works.com.
Some helicopters, such as air ambulances and certain military choppers, use jet turbines to help with forward motion if they have to cover long distances.
The tail rotor is what keeps the helicopter from spinning uncontrollably and helps the pilot steer the aircraft while in flight. The technical name for this is the ‘anti-torque rotor’ because it counteracts the twisting (torque) motion of the rotating horizontal lift rotor blades.
However, some helicopters don’t have vertical tail rotor, but use a counter-rotating horizontal rotor to deliver the anti-torque function. The most common version of this kind of anti-torque rotor is the Chinook military transport helicopter.
For a realistic example of how helicopters work, check out the working toy helicopters at any nearby RadioShack. You can also see video explanations of helicopter movements at Howstuffworks.com.

Japan’s much-delayed MRJ90 regional jet programme has suffered its first order cancellation.
Japan’s troubled MRJ90 regional jet programme has suffered its first order cancellation with the decision by Swift Air, the new owner of charter operator Eastern Airlines, not to include the MRJ in its future fleet plans. Eastern Airlines, which held an order for 20 firm, 20 option MRJs since 2014, was acquired by Swift Air last year.
The MRJ programme is already years behind schedule. Early last year, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation (MAC) announced that the first delivery of the MRJ was being pushed back from mid-2018 to mid-2020 due to “revisions of certain systems and electrical configurations on the aircraft to meet the latest requirements for certification”.
That announcement marked the fifth delay in the programme, which is seeking to develop the first Japanese commercial airliner since the 1960s. First deliveries were initially scheduled for 2014.
The cancellation reduces the MRJ's firm order backlog to 223, almost half of which are for Sky West Airlines, with a further 50 for another U.S. carrier, Trans States Airlines. Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airlines have firm orders for 32 and 15 aircraft, respectively.

Runway Reopened: One of the Suvarnabhumi Airport runways, which was the scene of a Thai Airways international flight from China skidding off course while landing in heavy rain on Monday night, was reopened and traffic resumed at 5pm today.
Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith thanked all who contributed to safely and efficiently retrieving a “jumbo jet” that had skidded off the runway, with the time required to free the plane and clear the scene kept under four hours yesterday – about 90 minutes less than the estimated completion time.
Arkhom said the Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee Office would speedily probe the incident’s cause.
According to Flight Lieutenant Pratthana Pattanasirim, THAI’s director of security and flight standards division, no one was injured when flight TG 679 skidded off the runway.
The Boeing 747400 had 97 passengers and 18 crew on board.
It left Guangzhou at 8.58pm (local time) and arrived at Suvarnabhumi at 10.48pm.
Passengers were safely transferred from the plane to the terminal and THAI gave them snacks and drinks while they waited for their luggage.
Pratthana said the airline would cooperate with other agencies to investigate the cause of the accident.

Imagine the capabilities of a big professional drone but in smaller and more convenient package.
Yes, that’s Mark Drone: Ultra-Intelligent Foldable Drone for you.
Mark is world’s first drone that is positioned by Visual Inertial Odometry. This technology was used in Mark to battle the usual downfalls of drones relying on GPS.
GPS has its advantages but can fail indoors or among. It can be challenging to calibrate and the loss of GPS signal during flight an lead to your drone going AWOL and you never seeing it again.
VIO technology doesn’t rely on satellites. It allows Mark to locate itself based on position relative to its surroundings.
This, combined with GPU-mapping module, allows you to fly this drone straight out of the box. No compass calibration, just plug and play.
Mark can memorize its own trajectory and come back to you without relying on GPS. With a fish-eye camera, 13MP effective pixels and a 4K video recording, you can capture uninterrupted footage both in- and outdoors.
You can realize your own director’s vision using a controller or an app or you can use a bunch of pre-programmed dramatic shots (like circular or Helix flight).
Last but not least, this 6-inch drone is so tiny that you can fold it and store it in your purse or pocket. You never know when you’ll see something worthy of a dramatic drone shot.

Helicopter to fly over Vail’s Timber Ridge
Vail, CO Colorado
VAIL, Colorado – A helicopter will be in use for a brief time on Wednesday as part of the Timber Ridge redevelopment. The town is working with Vail Timber Ridge LLC to develop the easternmost portion of the property. As part of the development approval process, the project requires documentation and mitigation of rockfall hazards on the south-facing hillside above the site.-
The helicopter will be used to videotape and photograph the hillside. Area residents have been notified by the town of Wednesday’s mid-morning fly-over. The air operations will take less than an hour to complete. –
Community Development Director George Ruther says the aerial documentation was selected as the quickest and most cost-effective method for completing the study, which is being funded by the town and Vail Timber Ridge LLC.

Tanner can fly in the clouds!
Tanner Barkowski is an Instrument Rated Pilot!! Yes, the pilot who cannot even take a normal picture (see below) can legally fly in the clouds. Tanner came in early this morning for aircraft pre-flight and pre-checkride affirmation statements, then flew N752DW demonstrating all the requirements for this tough rating. Tanner passed the oral portion last week but due to the storms, he had to postpone the flight until today. But what a gorgeous day to complete it! Except he wasn't even looking out the window. Tanner is a 141 student and definitely has put in the time/effort to keep up with the rigorous training schedule all while working, studying, helping plan his wedding, preparing for a big move after the first of the year, and his military commitments. He was private pilot to instrument rated in just 4 months! Watch for his name again soon because that commercial checkride will be here before he knows it. Huge congratulations to Tanner and his CFII Jack Darlington!

Did you dream of venturing to space as a kid? Well, your chance may have just arrived. Beginning today, March 31, the European Space Agency (ESA) will be accepting applications for new astronauts for the first time in over a decade.
"It's time to look for new astronauts, and I'm sure that we will find the best ones," said ESA Director General Jan Wörner at a press conference announcing the recruitment drive.
For hopefuls from ESA member states who apply, a six-stage, 18-month selection process awaits, which should wrap up by October 2022.26 lucky souls
ESA is looking for four to six career astronauts to join their team. They're also recruiting 20 reserve astronauts.
"This is something that's completely new for us," said David Parker, Director of Human and Robotic Exploration at ESA.
The reserve astronauts will operate similarly to reserve members of the military — only being called when a specific mission or project requires it.
"Such a mission is kind of a limited duration, a one-off, so if somebody enters the astronaut reserve, the selected individuals remain with their current employer," explained Parker. "However, they may be subsequently hired by ESA as astronauts on a temporary contract linked to this specific mission."Who do they have in mind?
A major focus for ESA is diversifying its astronaut workforce.
"Diversity is not a burden for us. Diversity is an asset for us," said Wörner. "We would really, in particular, encourage women to apply because it's very interesting and supportive, if we have mixed teams with different people from different backgrounds, with different genders."
Wörner also welcomed applicants regardless of sexual orientation, ethnicity, faith, and age.
The last application round had a strong emphasis on recruiting pilots, which will not be the case this time around, explained Lucy van der Tas, Head of Talent Acquisition at ESA. ESA hopes that this will open the door to more women.
Since its founding in 1975, ESA has only had two female astronauts – Claudie Haignere and Samantha Cristoforetti. Of the 560 people who've ever gone to space, only 65 have been women and 51 of them were American, according to the Associated Press.
In addition to encouraging more women to apply, the other big piece of news was that ESA will be selecting an astronaut with physical disabilities as a reserve astronaut or parastronaut.
Candidates with lower limb deficiencies, leg length differences or who are are of short stature (<130 cm>
Perhaps some of those selected will also come from member states that have yet to see a citizen in space: Estonia, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, Norway and Portugal.What it takes
While ESA is looking for diverse applicants, there are specific requirements they must meet.
To be considered, applicants need a master's degree in medicine, natural sciences, engineering, mathematics or computer sciences. A master's level degree as an experimental test pilot or test engineer will also be accepted. It's not essential to have a Ph.D or second master's degree, but it also doesn't hurt. Applicants need to have at least three years of postgraduate professional experience, speak English fluently and have good knowledge of a second language. A medical certificate from an aviation medical practitioner is also on the application checklist.
Aside from a person's CV, being an astronaut requires the ability to stay calm under pressure and being highly motivated.
"This is a process that really evaluates the person as a whole," said Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, emphasizing that it's about personality too. She encourages people to apply so long as they meet the minimum requirements.Being chosen
As for the selection process?
"It's a long process. It's certainly quite stressful. And we have to be honest: We expect, and we hope that thousands of people will apply and we are only going to select a handful. So the chances of success are slim," Cristoforetti said. "But I think it's a great opportunity, regardless of whether at the end you will be selected or not. It's an amazing journey. I think it will be an opportunity to learn a lot about yourself, your strengths, weaknesses, how you perform in a process like this."
It's not just about technical skills, astronauts need the right personality too
The last time ESA hired new astronauts in 2008-09, they saw more than 8,000 people apply. British astronaut Timothy Peake said that around 11% of people made it to the first round of that process (remember, there are six rounds).
"Astronaut selection is highly competitive and it's geared towards a very specific candidate profile," said van der Tas. "I would also like to say that there are other exciting opportunities to work at ESA."Other duties as assigned
So let's say you make it through those grueling six rounds and are selected to be an ESA astronaut — what awaits you on the other side?
The list of job duties includes: participation in microgravity simulatations, flight operations, intensive training, physical exertion, working with an intercultural and interdisciplinary team (so solid communication skills are definitely in order), as well as frequent travel, irregular hours and being away from home.
Participating in live science experiments is part of the job of being an astronaut
"Astronauts need to be willing and motivated to participate as test subjects in life science and other scientific experiments," said Jennifer Ngo-Anh, ESA's Team Leader of Human and Robotic Exploration. In addition to being a human guinea pig, successful candidates need to be charismatic and inspiring ambassadors. "They should be passionate about sharing their knowledge about ESA and space exploration and engage wide audiences, especially the younger generation."And the perks?
The astronauts selected in this application process will likely not blast into orbit until 2025 or later, needing extensive training first.
Once the new class of career and reserve astronauts are ready, their first missions will be to the International Space Station, followed by potential opportunities to go to the moon and then hopefully the lunar gateway, flying further away from Earth than anyone ever has.
"It is a long journey, but it is an incredibly exciting one, it's a life changing one," said Peake of becoming an astronaut. "I am really excited for anybody who is applying to this new selection process."
If this sounds like the gig for you, the application period will be open March 31 through May 28.
This article has been updated7 things you need to know about ESA's space game Zooming out on Earth
Entering the new decade with its biggest-ever budget, the European Space Agency (ESA) has big plans for space exploration. That includes using space to get a better understanding of what's happening on Earth. The view from space can help us measure things that are difficult to grasp from the ground — like ocean acidification, the spread of wildfires and the impact of natural disasters.7 things you need to know about ESA's space game Introducing the non-terrestrial network
What does space have to do with 5G networks? Well, the ESA claims it plans to build the first satellite systems to be used alongside terrestrial 5G networks, creating a fiber-like "network in the sky." It says it's the new generation of wireless communication, where everything will be connected, everywhere, at all times. Cool or scary? We can't quite decide.7 things you need to know about ESA's space game Space cleanup
Since the beginning of space travel in 1957, space debris has exponentially increased. The ESA claims it plans to tackle this problem with an active mission to remove space debris. More than 34,000 objects larger than 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter orbit the earth, which are to be at least partially captured and removed.7 things you need to know about ESA's space game A gateway to the universe
A space station orbiting the moon, called Gateway, is set to be built in the 2020s. From there, not only will our moon be examined more closely, but the station will also serve as a base for exploratory flights into more distant space. Another advance of this kind is the JUICE probe, which will set off on its journey to Jupiter in 2022.7 things you need to know about ESA's space game Can we stop asteroids on collision course?
To find out what it takes to deflect an asteroid from its course, NASA and ESA are planning an exploratory mission. One asteroid in focus is Didymos, with its moon Didimoon. First, NASA will slam its probe DART into the moon at over 6 km (3.7 miles) per second. ESA's HERA mission will then precisely measure the impact of the collision.7 things you need to know about ESA's space game New carrier systems and spacecrafts
As of the end of 2020, Ariane 6 will be the new European carrier to bring cargo into space. With the launch vehicle, the EU wants to secure its independent access to space. The ESA is also working on the Space Rider, an autonomous, resuable space laboratory that will return to Earth after it completes a mission.7 things you need to know about ESA's space game Up, up, up and away
The ESA says it wants to go farther than ever before during the next decade. All of its astronauts will go to space for a second time, and for the first time, European astronauts like Matthias Maurer (pictured) will fly to the moon. They will also travel to Mars alongside NASA, with plans to bring back samples to Earth.|0|https://www.dw.com/en/calling-all-astronaut-hopefuls-esa-is-hiring/a-56613666?maca=en-rss-en-all-1573-rdf|1|https://static.dw.com/image/56617696_6.jpg|2|www.dw.com|E| 130>

Pakistan agrees jet deal with Chinese: "Pakistan and China have agreed to start joint production of a new fighter aircraft intended as a replacement for the ageing French and Chinese aircraft used by Pakistan's air force, a senior Pakistani air force officer said yesterday.
The agreement comes only two months after the US offered to sell F-16 fighter aircraft to Pakistan, reversing sanctions applied almost 15 years ago over Islamabad's nuclear weapons programme. The move also comes as the US voices concern about the rise of the Chinese military. .. Tom Donnelly, defence analyst at the American Enterprise Institute, said the new JF-17 would enhance China's ability to intimidate Taiwan and mount an air campaign following a missile attack on the island. ..
The first four of the JF-17 "Thunder" aircraft would be delivered to Pakistan next year for trial flights, while the supply of 150 aircraft would begin in 2007." Total 150 are planned for Pakistan, 250 for China, with half produced in each country. 8:33:17 AM

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk fighter/ground-attack aircraft was one of WW II’s most famous fighters. The P-40 was easier to build and maintain than the other USAFF fighters at the time, and was in large-scale production such that nearly 14,000 were built by 1944, making it one of the most produced American fighters. It remained on the frontline until the war’s end. Known for its fierce “shark mouth” nose art and its versatility, it was used by most Allied countries. The famous Flying Tigers flew the P-40s in the Pacific theater and achieved notable success defending China and helping to turn the tide for the Allies.
41-13297, which comprises most of the material used in the PlaneTag, survived a wheels-up landing and Pearl Harbor attack in 1941. It later crashed during a patrol mission over Oahu and remained there until it was rediscovered in 1985. It is currently being restored. Additional material was provided by Pima Air & Space Museum , taken from re-skinning P-40 wings during restorations.
-Authentic - made from actual retired aircraft fuselage, not merely stamped metal.
-Unique - each PlaneTag bears the color, thickness, and wear and tear from the portion of the fuselage from which it was cut and it is therefore rare to create two identical PlaneTags.
-Collectible - each one is numbered in a limited edition and comes attached to a display card.
-Versatile - comes with a durable metal ring, strong enough to attach to luggage or keys or display.

A United Express regional jet operated by SkyWest Airlines landed at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) with a nose gear malfunction Sunday, June 12th.
There were no injuries to the 17 passengers and crew.
The plane, a Canadair 200 LR regional jet, sustained minimal damage to its nose gear, airport officials said.
Flight 6543 had departed from LAX shortly after 10 p.m. for Santa Barbara.
The pilot reported a possible problem with the nose gear and chose to return to LAX rather than continue on to the plane’s destination.
The Los Angeles City Fire Department and LAX airport operations staff were on standby when the plane returned to LAX at 10:30 p.m.
Upon landing, the plane skidded on its nose for approximately 100 feet.
Passengers were taken by bus to another terminal where alternative travel arrangements to Santa Barbara were made.
During the incident, all other airline and airport operations were not disturbed.
The cause of the incident is under investigation.

Airplane Mechanics: A Farm Team For Everyone Else?
Talk of jobs — or lack of them — dominates the national conversation right now. But there are places in the economy where willing, qualified workers are hard to come by.
One such place is AAR Aircraft Services Corp., an aircraft maintenance facility in Oklahoma City. There, American capitalism is on display with all its strengths and weaknesses. AAR services jet aircraft, including passenger planes from carriers like Alaska Airlines, Mesa Air and Allegiant Air.
There are hundreds of open positions for skilled blue-collar workers and airplane mechanics — and it's been this way for years. In this economy, how can that be possible?
"These are very technically qualified positions. It isn't something that you can take an individual right out of high school and teach them how to do it," says Anita Brown, head of human resources at AAR's Oklahoma City facility for the past 28 years.
Brown says airplane mechanics at her company start earning between $12 and $15 an hour, while veterans who have their FAA Airframe and Powerplant licenses top out at $28 an hour.
Yet AAR can't keep these positions filled. Brown says the company has at least 600 open jobs. "I know Indianapolis needs about 283 [and] we're just shy of needing 200 people. They also need people in our Miami facility; we're a worldwide organization," she says.
More Thoroughly Trained, More Attractive Elsewhere
The longer mechanics work on airplanes, the more skilled they generally become. The best can do work on a lot of different things extremely well: the fuselage and wing structure — otherwise known as skin and ribs; lavatory plumbing; metal part fabrication; jet engines and electronics. They're like a 6'8" high school senior who can both rebound and knock down the jumper: versatile and valuable.
[An] aircraft mechanic works on pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics... which makes them very attractive to other companies and other industries.
"[An] aircraft mechanic works on pneumatics, hydraulics, electronics — and when you're talking about electricity, they're also working not only in DC voltage but AC voltage as well — which makes them very attractive to other companies and other industries," says Wayne Jamroz, the facility's general manager.
AAR has learned all too well that sometimes $25 an hour won't cut it. The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have siphoned off thousands of mechanics who make hazard pay servicing aircraft in a war zone.
Even in Oklahoma, mechanics can make between $5 and $10 more an hour at Tinker Air Force Base and down the road in Tulsa at American Airlines' maintenance facility.
So why doesn't AAR pay its mechanics more? The company says it simply can't afford to; the competition here and abroad is so cutthroat. Jamroz says you'd be surprised to discover the going rate to repair a Boeing 747 these days.
"You take your car into an automotive place and you're paying $75 to $100 an hour. We sell our labor at $48 to $49 an hour," he says.
The Cost To Go Through Training
Inside one of AAR's seven hangers, a Boeing 737 under repair gleams in the halogen light. Sly Hendricks is one of the young mechanics AAR hired after he graduated in sheet metal repair from a local technical school.
"Man, I love it," Hendricks says. "It's a good place to work. They don't just throw you to the wolves. It's a process: I had to go through some levels, some training."
The tuition at the technical school Hendricks graduated from runs about $2,000 total. But AAR says that only prepares those gradates to be trained.
AAR also partners with Tulsa's Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology, which provides advanced training and gradates bona fide airplane mechanics. But the tuition is $28,000, a bit of a climb if you're unemployed.
With just his sheet metal training, Hendricks started at AAR making $12 an hour. But after five years he's already up to $21, because five years of working on airplanes has taught him a lot. "Unlike assembly line work, it's a team effort," he says. "Just knowing that I'm able to work on the plane and do the job well is satisfying."
Having turned Hendricks into a talented structural mechanic, this is the time period the company is most likely to lose him to the competition. Plenty of times that competition is not even aviation, but another industry altogether — the natural gas industry is big in Oklahoma and Texas, for example.
Of course, this drives AAR mad with frustration, as if it's some farm team for everyone else's highly trained mechanics.

The blockbuster merger that created it was designed to stabilize the business against cyclical downturns -- though nobody was expecting one like this.
The collapse of air travel has dragged down the commercial aerospace industry, but some companies in the sector are better positioned ahead of its eventual recovery.
The defense sector hadn't seen a megamerger since the 1990s, but that all changed last month when the aerospace arm of United Technologies combined with Raytheon to form Raytheon Technologies. The deal vaulted the new company above industry leader Lockheed Martin in terms of revenue, creating a new heavyweight in the aerospace world. Lockheed Martin stock in recent years has been a standout performer among defense primes, and bigger does not always mean better.
We study the impact of a few big earnings releases in the aerospace and defence industry on ETFs with decent exposure to these companies.
Over the past five trading sessions, the defense biggies put up a mixed show.While General Dynamics gained the most, with its share price rising 5.9%, L3Harris lost the most.
Raytheon Technologies (NYSE: RTX), the company formed via the merger between defense contractor Raytheon and the aerospace unit of United Technologies, officially began trading on April 3. When United Technologies and Raytheon announced plans to merge in June 2019, the deal was greeted with howls from investors in both companies. United Technologies had built a large and profitable business largely serving the commercial aerospace sector and had benefited from a decade-long surge in new plane orders.
Raytheon Technologies beat estimates in its inaugural report, and Costco's April sales numbers may be a preview of what's in store for Walmart.
The company's defense unit, its biggest, is expected to grow in mid-single digits this year, O'Brien said, even as growth in the commercial aerospace business declines due to the coronavirus crisis. "Given the growth profile, the profitability that we have in defense, along with the strong historic cash flow generation, that's going to continue into this year," said O'Brien.
Raytheon Technologies (RTX) delivered earnings and revenue surprises of 60.36% and 0.41%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 2020. Do the numbers hold clues to what lies ahead for the stock?
Although defense stocks were on a growth trajectory in the past, effects of the coronavirus pandemic might have weighed on their Q1 performance
Raytheon Technologies (RTX) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights: Boeing, General Electric, Raytheon Technologies, Rolls-Royce and Safran
Raytheon Technologies (RTX) is born as United Technologies' aerospace business and Raytheon Company combine. The resultant company will be one of the big players in the defense and government markets.

USE OF PRESSURIZING GAS
Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales CNES - 09/14/2017
Use of pressurizing gas from a satellite tank to deploy a desorbitation system. Current reservoirs, with menbrane, use a pressurisation gas to maintain an adequate pressure along their depletion. This invention uses the pressurization gas present in the fuel tank to deploy an inflatable semi-rigid appendage allowing desorbitation of the satellites at the end of their life.
- Cost reduction by avoiding an additional propulsion system - The satellite remains on mission longer - Less desorbitation fuel needed - More fuel usable during the mission Use of pressurizing gases - Taking advantage of «unnecessary» gases contained in reservoirs for inflating or deploying an appendage during the passivation stage - Compliance with the space law on pressurized systems Simpler satellite desorbitation - Increases drag by deploying an element that increases the satellite surface
Spatial - Satellite in low orbit having a chemical propulsion system or cold gas

While a space doctor will be needed to help mend the wounds of astronauts, they may choose to use lasers to seal the wound instead of medical stitches.
Since regular earthly stitches are composed of synthetic material and catgut, scientists may prefer using lasers as it would translate into one less item to pack (as well as one less requirement for a future space doctor).

One of the world???s largest satellite operators, Paris-based Eutelsat Communications SA (NYSE:ETL), will become the first paid customer of Blue Origin LLC, a fledgling reusable launch services provider founded by business technology entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, who also started Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).
Bezos broke the news on Tuesday, March 7, while speaking at the Satellite 2017 conference in Washington, D.C., where he also expressed hope of driving down launch costs from roughly $100 million to just $5 million per mission to make space tourism an economic reality. His concept is to turn launch vehicles into the equivalent of aircraft for airlines that complete one mission and then are readied for another one to let the private sector investment in high-technology hardware remain productive.
Similar to Elon Musk, who became wealthy from launching one highly successful business to fund a start-up launch services company, Space Technologies Corp., which is commonly known as SpaceX, Bezos said he fell in love with space and wanted to form a company to pursue his dream.
As a result, Bezos said he is taking his ???lottery winnings??? from founding Amazon and using the financial resources for Blue Origin, of Kent, Washington.
???You don???t choose your passions,??? Bezos said. ???Your passions choose you.???
Blue Origin now has 1,000 employees and is targeting 2023 for its first commercial launch of a Eutelsat satellite. A longer term goal is to make it possible for millions of people to live and work in space, Bezos said.
Despite the daunting mission that Bezos has laid out for his company to turn space travel into a reality for more than just a relative few, Blue Origin has made demonstrable progress with the development of new reusable launch vehicles.
Bezos said what the launch industry really needs is ???true operational reusability??? of its boosters.
Previous attempts to achieve reusability failed to reach operational reusability akin to commercial airliners, Bezos said.
???If the airline throws away an aircraft at the end of every mission, it will be a very expensive vacation that few people would be able to afford,??? Bezos said.
Specifically, propellant costs for launches are ???vanishingly small??? at less than $1 million for a large launch vehicle, Bezos said.
If reusable launch services can be developed as Bezos envisions, the result will be ???dramatically??? reduced costs to put satellites into orbit and to transport people on space vacations.
Blue Origin showed its initial capabilities to launch rockets and return part of the hardware to the ground with a handful of test flights.
However. Blue Origin will be trying to enter a commercial launch market that includes Arianespace SA, sea-platform provider International Launch Services, Orbital Sciences Inc. and SpaceX, among others. The latter two companies are offering reusable launch services.
The reusability is critical in slashing costs to boost demand, Bezos said. The maintenance cost between launches is less than $10,000, he added.
To recover its boosters, Blue Origin will use a vertical landing method because it is ???so scalable,??? Bezos explained. The increased size of a booster would improve its stability in returning safely to the ground, he added.
Eutelsat???s CEO Rodolphe Belmer said his company became the first commercial customer for the maiden flights of the Atlas, Delta and Ariane boosters in the past and opted to take the same pioneering role with Blue Origin???s launch services.

Interesting facts about space.
When these photos were taken, it was full daylight on the Moon. Because there is only an extremely thin atmosphere on the Moon,the sky appears black. In addition, sunlight at the Moon's surface was incomparably strong with the starlight; the stars simply faded in comparison with the sun. If the astronauts used sufficiently long exposures, stars would, indeed, be visible.
and here is another
However, the fact of the matter is that moon will always remain the best option for mankind. The reason for this stems from the fact that the moon can always act as a stepping stone to the rest of the solar system and beyond. This is only natural, as the moon is in a very close proximity to Earth. Only by taking a 3 day trip, it is possible to reach the Moon with standard chemical propulsion techniques. However, in retrospect, going to Mars would require almost 100 times the amount of trip time of moon, since Mars is about 1000 times further then the moon. The amount of life support that is required for a mission that will take 2 years or more is definitely very costly and more importantly, the technological capability is not there. Thus, with our present global financial and technical capability, the moon is the only realistic option.
Titan's alien climate--including its heavy hydrocarbon rain and fierce winds--forms surface features that are similar to those on Earth, and it experiences seasonal weather changes--just like our own planet. In fact, with its liquids pooling both on its surface and beneath its surface, along with its mostly nitrogen atmosphere, Titan has a methane cycle that is comparable to Earth's water cycle--although at the much more frosty temperature of about -179.2 degrees Celsius.

Dr. Le Gall and her team used the newly acquired depth-sounding information in order to separate the contributions made to the sea's detected temperature by the liquid sea and the seabed, which provided new insights into their compositions.
Even though Theia came to a tragic end, it did not die in vain. This is because the ill-fated Theia made the emergence of life possible on Earth. Our lunar companion is responsible for creating a welcoming abode for living things on our planet, because it moderates Earth's wobble on its axis--thus creating a stable, life-friendly climate. Earth's Moon also is the source of ocean tides that form a rhythm that has guided human beings for thousands of years.
The crust of Earth's Moon is 43 miles thick on the near-side hemisphere, and 93 miles on the far-side. It is composed of silicon, magnesium, oxygen, calcium, aluminum, and iron. There are also trace amounts of titanium, uranium, thorium, hydrogen, and potassium.

Why be a Professional Drone Pilot?
To be a professional is to be: “a person competent or skilled in a particular activity”
When we apply this to being a professional drone pilot, what does that entail?
This is where you find out.
Being successful as a drone pilot comes from realising the niche that they fill and exploiting that whilst delivering the best possible service.
We looked at the many uses of drones here. But in this post I want to look at what it takes to be a professional.
I’m going to break it down into 3 main categories:
- Specialist drone shots and filming
Producing world class aerial footage is one thing, and we will get to that soon. The first thing you need to become a professional drone pilot is to be safe.
Safety comes from education. Nobody wants an accident or a situation that endangers anyone.
1. Theory; Get a Drone Qualification, be responsible, be professional.
In the UK, and across most of the world, there are simple to follow drone rules, guidelines to help pilots fly safely.
- Please avoid flying higher than 120m or 300ft
- Do not fly whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Avoid flying over large crowds or too close to people
- Do not fly over busy roads. Drones distract drivers. Your drone could crash into a car.
- Do not fly in the flight paths of aircraft approaching or leaving the airport or air fields.
- Register your drone with the CAA, FAA or local authority.
Recognised drone pilot certifications teach you beyond these basics. In the UK the first stage is the A2CofC then the GVC certifications. In the U.S it is known as the Part 107. Follow the links to find out more.
2: Setup; Get the best possible results from your drone.
All theory and no practice will not make you a professional drone pilot.
Flying Drones takes great skill, hand eye coordination and a good eye for composition. All this takes practice.
There is however some knowledge that the formal drone qualification won’t teach you. And that is how to set up your drone to get the best out of it.
Drone Camera Settings
As many of you are aware, shutter speed is important for the aesthetic look of footage. A shot looks more natural when there is the appropriate amount of motion blur between each frame. To achieve this we need to follow the 180 rule. e.g If our frame rate is 25 fps then our shutter speed must be 1/50. If our frame rate is 30fps then our shutter speed must be 1/60.
Keep to that rule and you will have nice looking motion blur and natural looking footage.
You will however notice that if you set your shutter speed at that level, your footage will most likely be over exposed. To compensate we therefore need to used ND filters.
ND and/or Polarising filters are the first accessory I buy when getting a new drone. They make the biggest difference in the overall quality of footage. Polarisers especially make clouds and water surfaces pop. Ideally we want to keep our ISO set as low as possible to minimise digital noise. It’s therefore good practice to get a range of filters from ND4 to ND 64. This will cover you for all light levels.
Control your aircraft better
This is about both practicing flying and adjusting the sensitivity of your aircraft.
Within the control app of your drone there will be a panel for adjusting how sensitive the controls are.
There you will find adjustable parameters for the controls.
It is important to adjust one thing at a time and test to see its effects. That way the change is more obvious to the pilot and adjustments can be made in an educated way.
You are aiming for predictable smooth movements both in the drone itself and also in how the gimbal moves.
By adjusting these parameters, you can change how responsive the drone is to the inputs. The blue line represents a much less sensitive and therefore smoother flying drone.
Smoother flying drone, smoother footage.
Gimbal sensitivity is also very important because you can tilt the camera up and down during flight. Adjust how sensitive it is to your inputs (Pitch speed) and also how quickly it responds to changes in your inputs (Pitch smoothness). Adjust one thing at a time and test. In most modern drones you have 3 speed settings in flight “Cine/Tripod, Normal and Sport” Adjust the gimbal responsiveness for each speed setting.
Practice Practice Practice
It should go without saying that to master a skill you need to practice. Flying as often as possible and continuing to tweak the controls of your aircraft will bring you closer and closer to that elusive mastery.
Once flying has become instinctive, (you’re not consciously thinking about what your fingers and thumbs are doing……) You will be starting to stretch and grow your abilities to fly exactly how you want to and this is where flying stops becoming a exercise in stress management and starts becoming a joy of creative potential. You will have noticed how much potential there is for perspective within drone filming and you will most likely have found many of the following types of shots extremely pleasing when you pull them off.
Favourite and Dynamic Drone Shots
The following are a few examples of my favourite drone shots for combining the unique manoeuvrability of a drone with its ability to provide interesting perspectives. We’ll start with the Reveal.
Drone shot #1: The Reveal.
This is a beautiful one, it can come in many forms, either a simple tilt up or tilt down to the subject. It can be reversing over a subject so it suddenly appears in lower frame. Another can be the drone flying over a crest or out from behind the foreground to reveal the background or subject.
Drone shot #2: Rotating around a point of interest (POI)
I love these shots, I struggled in the early days with them as flying manually in a perfect circle whilst pointing the camera via yawing towards the subject, (often whilst the subject was moving too), was a bit tricky….to put it mildly. However modern drones are a lot smoother and now even have this as a “Mastershot” or preset flight style..
I love this shot because it delivers an enormous amount of perspective. It not only shows the subject but also a tremendous amount of background that really adds top the location and can also be used as a reveal shot too.
Shot #3: Aerial Hyper lapse
The Hyper lapse is less a shot type and more like a photographic technique.
It combines the ability of a drone to fly along a set path, at a set speed, taking pictures at a set pace. It’s a low yield, high risk sequence but the rewards can be huge. It is I think my most popular stock footage shot from a drone.
This is a tiny selection of drone styles. Its up to you to follow this brief guide and to get out there and fly yourself. Discover what works for you. Look for local landmarks you can fly safely as well as iconic ones, news events also are good. If you’re looking for drone filming services in the UK, check out this page:

And for all those aspiring pilots our there: Be creative, but above all else (Pun intended)…..

It was the first time in 50 years that an astronaut candidate has resigned. The last time a NASA astronaut candidate resigned was in 1968. A native of Alaska, Kulin and his classmates were selected from more than 18,300 applicants, and publicly introduced last year at Johnson Space Center in Houston by Vice President Mike Pence. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Denver and a masters and doctorate in engineering from the University of California, San Diego. Kulin had previously worked as a commercial fisherman in Alaska and as a technician drilling ice cores in Antarctica to support climate research.
“My whole goal coming out of that, and I would say the team’s whole goal, was to make sure that the Falcon 9 was as reliable and successful as possible, for SpaceX’s commercial partners, but also of course very importantly for the crew that will fly on that vehicle,” he said last year. SpaceX did not comment on Kulin’s departure from NASA. The Agency has a list with 39 active astronauts eligible for flight assignments. SpaceX and Boeing are developing NASA’s first commercial crew capsules, due to launch within the next year.

“Clearly Charlie Bolden would not have taken the job if he were being asked to shut down human spaceflight,” said John Logsdon, a space policy expert in Washington, according to the Times. If approved by the Senate to take the captain’s chair for NASA, Bolden would be the first African American, and the second astronaunt, to head the agency. Richard H. Truly, a retired Navy vice admiral and former shuttle commander, led the agency from 1989 to 1992.
Bolden’s Senate approval may be stalled by an Obama executive order that aims to eliminate conflicts of interest. As the Times put it, the new ethics rules prohibit appointees “from doing work that is ‘directly and substantially related’ to a former employer or former clients.” Bolden was on the board of directors for GenCorp Inc. until March 2008, and GenCorp’s Aerojet subsidiary is a contractor for the space shuttle and the Orion spacecraft programs, producing propulsion systems and maneuvering engines. Some form of “limited waiver” would probably be required for Bolden to bypass these regulations.
Whether or not Bolden deserves to circumvent these rules, or if the rules actually serve any purpose at all if a waiver to bypass them can easily be obtained, remains to be seen. But one thing that must be kept in sight is the fact that NASA isn’t the only game in town for manned space exploration.
The website RedOrbit.com dealt with “NASA’s Free-Market Solution” on May 12. “NASA Administrator Chris Scolese told a congressional subcommittee … that the agency intends to provide $150 million in stimulus-package money to private companies that design, build and service their own rockets and crew capsules. This is spacecraft that could send astronauts in orbit while NASA works to finish building the space shuttle’s replacements.” In fact, “the White House ordered a complete review of the entire manned space program to be led by long time friend of private space ventures, former Lockheed Martin CEO of Norman Augustine.” While it may be argued that if big government didn’t take so much tax money from businesses and individuals in the first place, there would be no need for government to dole out “stimulus money,” RedOrbit.com nonetheless interprets NASA’s generosity as evidence that “the space agency … and the Obama administration are both ready to promote and make possible commercial human space flight.”
NASA will be awarding $80 million in stimulus money to the private company with the best “crewed launch demo.” Top contenders are space-flight companies SpaceX and Orbital Sciences. “These leading contractors are building their launch vehicles from scratch. Their designs highlight incredibly efficient business models with low manufacturing costs.” They somehow need “only a few dozen employees at their launch sites” rather than “the space shuttle program’s 15,000 workers.” Former NASA administrator Michael Griffin believes that “when we engage the engine of competition, these services will be provided in a more cost-effective fashion than when the government has to do it.”
This is not without precedent. RedOrbit recalls that “in October 2004, engineer Burt Rutan’s SpaceShipOne won the $10 million Ansari X Prize. His rocket was the first privately built flying machine to ever reach space.” William Watson, the executive director of the Space Frontier Foundation — a group promoting commercial space activities — sees similar exciting opportunities: “Let’s have an American competition in space — to create good jobs, fuel innovation and close the [spaceflight] gap more quickly.” He adds: “With private funds matching government investment, we can dramatically leverage taxpayer dollars to produce breakthroughs in a new American industry — commercial orbital human spaceflight.”
But how about private funds without government investment? If exploring the vast frontier of space is worth doing, why wouldn’t entrepreneurs invest in it? That’s the kind of boldly going where no one has gone before which any supporter of free enterprise would like to see live long and prosper. Only a Star Trek fan may understand all the references in that last sentence, but anyone who supports the free market will likely wish to see the American spirit of private innovation do its part to help conquer the final frontier.

Members of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) SpaceX Crew-2 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur spoke to members of the press on Friday about their journey onboard Space Exploration Technologies Corp.'s (SpaceX) Crew Dragon capsule and daily life on the station. Kimbrough and McArthur are part of the four-member crew, part of Expedition 65 on the orbiting space laboratory. The interview provided more details about what a journey on the Dragon feels like for its passengers.
Falcon 9 & Crew Dragon "Somewhere In Between" Of Space Shuttle and Russian Soyuz In Terms Of Ride Experience According To NASA Astronaut
Their interviews were conducted by KFMB-TV and Spaceflight Now, with the questions asked ranging from the crew's experience on board the SpaceX Crew Dragon and working and living on the ISS.
KFMB-TV's Heather Myer's kicked off the discussion when she asked the astronauts about their journey on the Crew Dragon.
In response, Kimbrough replied:
It was a fantastic ride I think all of us were sitting on the launchpad for a couple of hours getting ready to go, preparing mentally and somewhat physically as well. And then when the engines lit big smiles came across all of our faces as we felt that power lift us from Earth up into space. It was an incredible ride for the first eight and a half to nine minutes while the boosters were lit. And a lot of G forces, a lot of different sensations our bodies were going through. And then after nine minutes, we were in space, floating around. So pretty cool experience.
Stephen Clark of Spaceflight Now then took over, with his questions being more pointed than Myers'. He began by asking Kimbrough about the differences in his experiences onboard the Falcon 9, the Space Shuttle and the Russian Soyuz.
To this, the astronaut explained that the Crew Dragon lay in the middle of the Shuttle and Soyuz in terms of the smoothness of the journey.
He explained that:
I've had a few people ask me that. It's a great question. I think it's kind of somewhere between the two. Shuttle to me was...you're shaking around, rocking and rolling a lot more. Soyuz was super smooth and the Dragon was kind of somewhere in between. So it was all together a smooth ride uphill, but there were a few kind of rumblings and bumps along the way. Some great G forces we got to feel. So I kind of put it in between the two rides of the Soyuz and the Shuttle.
Clark then moved forward by asking the astronauts how the Falcon 9's Merlin Vacuum engine compares to the Space Shuttle. This engine is present on the second (upper) stage of the rocket and is responsible for propelling payload and astronauts into space after the first stage of the rocket separates.
According to Kimbrough:
Yeah that was pretty awesome. So after the first stage engines shut off we had a few seconds of weightlessness and then the MVac [MERLIN VACUUM ENGINE] kicked in and it was a really nice kick in the pants so to speak. We got kind of sucked back in our seats and we got to feel that great acceleration for the next six minutes or so.
The reporter then asked about the habitability difference between the Crew Dragon, the Space Shuttle and the Soyuz.
Kimbrough replied by highlighting that spending time in the capsule for extended periods of time is difficult.
His full response to the question was:
That's a tough one there. I mean we've had the luxury of taking a day or so to get here. Just about a day for us. I think they're going to work on getting that down a little bit to less than a day. But certainly, Inspiration4 is going to be living in it for two to five days I think is the current plan. I would not want to be living in there for more than a few days personally with a bunch of people in there. I'm getting the privilege of living in there right while it's attached to the space station because we don't have the sleep stations. But I think orbiting around in it four, you know people or so in there two to three days will probably be about the limit for me personally.
The Crew Dragon's spaciousness over the Soyuz has also been discussed previously by NASA astronaut Shannon Walker. She flew to the ISS as part of the space agency's first operational crewed flight to the space station last year, and when questioned in December by SpaceX's president Ms. Gwynne Shotwell about the differences in flying on the Dragon and the Soyuz, replied that:
. . . .It's a little bit more spacious than a Soyuz. My ride to the station on the Soyuz was two days, and so only a little over a day was much better. But you have more room to move about in on the Dragon.
The Inspiration4 is SpaceX's first private crewed mission for the Crew Dragon, and it will fly a civilian crew in Earth orbit. It will take to the skies in September, using the capsule which flew astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Soichi Noguchi to the ISS last year under NASA's SpaceX Crew-1 mission.

Another blog about a Hungarian tunic, this time the Air Force officers “front” version.
The 1930M uniform was the standard Air Force officers uniform from 1930 until 1945. The only variations are in material and color. Green for regular use, white for the summer and black as the dress version. Within the green colour also many variations exist. Officers could buy their own tailor made versions with more luxurious materials like gabardine in place of the regular wool version.
Example of a flight officer wearing a tailor made version
This specific version is a coarse wool (poszto) version as was handed out by the Air Force. This variation is called the front version that has brown metal buttons in place of the regular gold coloured buttons and made of poszto.
Example of a front version being worn by an Air Force lieutenant
Unlike on the army tunic the shoulder boards are detachable (which was also the case with the river forces). If the officer was an aviator the pilot wing would be worn on the right breast just above the top pocket.
This tunic like eg the German and English ones were also worn as part of the actual flight gear. Often with a leather coat over the tunic.
Pilots with flight jacket over the tunic (photo from internet)

The Siegfried-Class Warships were a line of space battleships in the space fleet of the Fourth Reich. These ships are modeled after the German Zeppelins used during the early 20th century.
Each Siegfried Warship could carry approximately 200 smaller craft within its armoured shell, which were seen to include mostly Walkyr units, although it can be presumed that other spacecraft could be carried as well as large convetional or nuclear bombs.
Siegfried Warships were also armed with missile launchers and other weapons on its undersides for precise fire on ground targets to support the ground forces, and could tow asteroids to initiate the "Meteorblitzkrieg". Several, if not all, of these warships were destroyed by the United Nations fleet during the battle.
Known Siegfried-class warships include:
- The use of Zeppelins as aircraft carriers could be considered an in-joke, as the name of the first German aircraft carrier was Graf Zeppelin.

The Aviation Safety Department is responsible for administering Embry-Riddle’s Aviation Safety Program. The Aviation Safety Department takes a proactive approach to safety by emphasizing accident prevention, hazard identification, safety data collection and dissemination, comprehensive emergency response procedures, and an active safety education program. To maintain accountability, the Aviation Safety Department is completely independent from the Flight Department, reporting directly to the Dean of the College of Aviation (COA).
Embry-Riddle has a robust safety reporting culture established by emulating the programs and processes used in the airline industry. The non-punitive reporting program is essential in providing visibility to the types of hazards present in Embry-Riddle flight operations so that proper controls can be implemented. Reports can be submitted by all faculty, staff and students who partake in Flight Operations and Aircraft Maintenance on campus in Prescott, Arizona.
Aviation Safety Action Program
The primary purpose of the Embry-Riddle Aviation Safety Action Program (ASAP) is to identify safety events and to implement corrective measures that reduce the opportunity for safety to be compromised. Embry-Riddle and the FAA have entered into a formal agreement to implement ASAP for all pilots (instructors and students) and fleet maintenance. The Prescott Campus’ agreement has been continuous since 2013 and renews every two years. Self-reporting through ASAP provides valuable information to the Aviation Safety Department while protecting the submitter from possible FAA enforcement action if Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) are inadvertently broken. Our ASAP also prepares students for the aviation industry beyond Embry-Riddle, as ASAP is commonplace amongst Part 121 and Part 135 air carriers.
Safety Management System
The purpose of the Embry-Riddle Safety Management System (SMS) is to consolidate all aspects of Embry-Riddle’s safety program into one overarching, continuously improving process. Policy, risk management, assurance and promotion make up the fundamentals within our SMS to ensure procedures, roles and responsibilities are defined, hazards are identified and risk controls implemented, confidence in the safety program is maintained, and safety issues are communicated to students, instructor pilots and Fleet Maintenance technicians.
Emergency Response Plan
The Embry-Riddle Aviation Safety Department has established a series of procedures and protocols in preparation for a variety of emergencies, known as the Emergency Response Plan (ERP). This comprehensive plan defines specific responsibilities for relevant departments and establishes clear communication protocols. The ERP is regularly drilled to ensure all appropriate personnel is aware of their roles.
Flight Data Monitoring
Embry-Riddle aircraft are equipped with state-of-the-art Garmin avionics suites. This technology allows the Aviation Safety Department to track, monitor and review quantitative flight data for the purpose of maintaining the safety of Embry-Riddle flight operations. This program, called Flight Data Monitoring (FDM), is for non-punitive, safety purposes only, and all flight data may only be analyzed by personnel within the Aviation Safety Department.

Coming to think of it, we should give Sir Artur his own section in the Forum, maybe in the Science Fiction section. I cannot remember 100%, but would not be surprised if Childhoods End was the first ever SF book I read in my early teens... Here is a something I found on the foundation that shows what a visionary he was, and every time you watch football on 30 west with your motor moving the dish in a perfect arc remember he "invented" it:
60th anniversary of the Clarke Orbit
Sir Arthur Clarke has been asked many, many times if he's miffed that his invention of the communications satellite concept in late 1945 never really paid him a penny. His standard reply is to laugh and explain that he did not believe his original vision would be realized for many decades, and then he concludes by saying, "But I still think it's a good idea!" Back in 1945, Clarke combined the technologies of rocketry, wireless communications, and radar to envision an extra-terrestrial system that relied on orbiting space stations to relay radio signals around the world. Just a dozen years later, the launch of Sputnik electrified the world, and brought his vision a step closer to reality. Less than a decade after that, in April 1965, the new international satellite telecommunications organization, Intelsat, under the management of the United States' Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT), successfully placed the Early Bird satellite over the Atlantic Ocean into what is now known worldwide as "the Clarke orbit."
Just in time for the Apollo 11 lunar landing in July 1969, Intelsat completed a sequence of launches that placed satellites in space over each of the three ocean regions foreseen by Clarke nearly 25 years earlier. As Intelsat satellites beamed live coverage of Neil Armstrong's "giant leap for Mankind," Clarke joined Walter Cronkite in the “global broadcast booth” to provide expert commentary on the mission and its relevance to a breathless world.
This year we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the publication of Sir Arthur's short article, "Extra-Terrestrial Relays," in the October 1945 edition of Wireless World. His words put into play the minds of other scientists and visionaries working with rockets and radio, leading to the global satellite system and instant connectivity we take for granted today.
Thank you, Sir Arthur . . .
It might be interesting for some to read the original paper Clarke wrote, download the PDF here

Advanced Composition Explorer
Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is a NASA Explorers program Solar and space exploration mission to study matter comprising energetic particles from the solar wind, the interplanetary medium, and other sources. Real-time data from ACE is used by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center to improve forecasts and warnings of solar storms. The ACE robotic spacecraft was launched August 25, 1997 and entered a Lissajous orbit close to the L1 Lagrangian point (which lies between the Sun and the Earth at a distance of some 1.5 million km from the latter) on December 12, 1997. The spacecraft is currently operating at that orbit. Because ACE is in a non-Keplerian orbit, and has regular station-keeping maneuvers, the orbital parameters at right are only approximate. The spacecraft is still in generally good condition in 2015, and is projected to have enough fuel to maintain its orbit until 2024. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center managed the development and integration of the ACE spacecraft.

A Beriev Be-200 amphibious firefighting plane has crashed into a mountain during wildfire-extinguishing efforts in Turkey. Everyone on board – the Russian pilots and Turkish officials – has been killed.
The firefighting plane crashed into the mountain in Turkey’s southern region of Marash on Saturday. According to Russia’s Defense Ministry, the plane had five Russian servicemen and three Turkish officials on board.
Footage circulating online shows a plume of black smoke emitting from the crash site.

So far, no information on the potential cause of the crash has emerged. The Russian military has already dispatched a team of investigators to Turkey to examine the site of the crash.
Also on rt.com
A handful of firefighting aircraft have been sent to Turkey by Russia to assist the nation in its struggle with wildfires, which have plagued it in recent weeks. According to local media reports, the crashed Be-200 was attached to the Adana firefighting department.

There’s no better time: learn to fly now
If you’ve been thinking about a career in aviation, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t learn to fly now. Whether you’re still in school or college and thinking about your future career path, or whether you’re already in the world of work and are looking for a career change, there’s been no better time to earn your wings! Here’s why:
The world needs more pilots – and needs them now!
You may be aware of the worldwide pilot shortage that’s currently facing the aviation industry, but in case you’re not, it’s your best reason to learn to fly now. Due to increasing pressures on airlines, there aren’t enough commercial pilots out there to meet the ever-growing demand from passengers – for both domestic and international flights.
In its “Pilot and Technician Outlook 2017-2036”, Boeing predicts the need for 637,000 new commercial pilots within the next two decades. Without that number, the aviation industry simply won’t have enough pilots to meet passenger demand.
In fact, just as recently as last month, leading airline Emirates announced that a shortfall of pilots (from 150 to 100) means the company will have to trim some services this summer – including flights to Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
So what does this mean for you? Well, if you’re looking for a career path where competition for jobs is low, but the returns on your training are high, there really has never been a better time to learn to fly.
Returns on your training outweigh other career paths
On average, it costs $65,000 to train to become a commercial pilot. Compare that with the cost of training to become a lawyer ($135,000) or a doctor ($250,000), and you’ll quickly see that your initial investment into commercial pilot training would be much lower than if you were to pursue either of those careers.
Consider also the return you can make on that investment. As a pilot, you can expect to earn $140,000 per year, compared with $135,000 as a lawyer. It’s true that doctors make more than pilots (around $180,000) – but when you remember that their working week averages 59 hours and yours would average 25 hours, it really is a no-brainer!
Even better, if you learn to fly now, you can expect to qualify in just nine months’ time – as opposed to the three or four years you might spend studying to enter law or medicine.
Being a pilot is the best job in the world!
There aren’t many people in the world who can earn a fantastic living from doing what they love, but commercial pilots certainly fall into that category. And with a view from the office like no other, you’re sure to never tire of this exceptional job. So why not turn your hobby into a lifelong career?
You can learn to fly now at CTI Professional Flight Training
With locations in both Tennessee and Florida, you can learn to fly now with us. We promise you superb facilities, an outstanding fleet to train in, and FAA-approved flight training from friendly, enthusiastic and experienced instructors. In our student body, you’ll find high school students, international students, and veterans, as well as those who are learning to fly later in life and are ready for a brand new career.

3. Drones are coming to America.
Monday, May 21, 2012
Ten (10) Things You Didn't Know About Unmanned Aircraft Systems (aka "Drones")
It is no surprise people are discussing unmanned aircraft systems (or "drones") more and more. Drones used to be limited to the foreign battlefields. However, these drones are everywhere now, whether it's the border, the Forest Service, NASA, the NYPD or your local utility company. The feds have even authorized 30,000 drones to fly in America's skies by 2020. Nevertheless, the quoted article caught my attention. The ten (10) things you don't know about these drones. I won't post them all, but you can click on through the link to get to the full list!

Le Rêve d'Étoiles or the Dream of Stars have been a common dynamo for mankind since the dawn of the civilization. Since mankind has looked upon the stars, he has felt the compulsion to reach out there. Although there have been many advancements in space technology since the time of Korolev and von Braun, mankind can still be considered as being in the infancy stage when it comes to deep space missions. When it comes to manned missions, the farthest location that we have been able to reach is the Moon. Going to a nearby planet such as Mars with a manned mission still seems to be at least a decade away with the present technology.In addition, transportation of unmanned probes for deep space missions also had not really advanced too much as compared to the technologies of the Voyager missions era. Current technology allows for decades to pass before it can even be possible to reach heliopause with a new probe.
One way to overcome these difficulties would be to use Nuclear Propulsion Systems to obtain the necessary high velocities. However a quick review of literature will quickly show that standard Nuclear Thermal Propulsion systems have a very low specific impulse. Hence while they may shorten the time of the mission, it is still long way from viable deep space missions. However, review of existing literature as well as analytical and numerical study of gas core reactors show promisingly high specific impulses which can be sustained over long periods of time.It is a well established fact that high temperatures in the combustion chamber of rockets can lead to correspondingly high exhaust velocities and hence high specific impulse. In gas core nuclear reactors, the classic combustion process is replaced by a fission process where the fission fuel is Uranium Hexafluoride in gaseous form and the rocket fuel is diatomic Hydrogen. The high temperatures attained in the reactor core due to fission kinetics of Uranium Hexafluoride leads to high excitation values of Hydrogen causing high exhaust velocities. This paper describes these processes in detail along with numerical simulations using relevant software. The velocity and energy values are calculated in a case study including fission kinetics in a gas core reactor and their correlation to exhaust velocities are discussed. Then possibilities of transit times for intrasolar system objects are shown in tabular format using this propulsion system.

The Whirlwind entered service with the Royal Air Force as a heavy fighter in 1940. It was the most heavily armed and fastest fighters at the time and was used for ground attack missions over France, being particularly good at destroying locomotives. Due to engine and manufacturing problems the aircraft was replaced by the Hawker Typhoon in 1943.

Every Company Has the Potential to Enter the Space Economy. Here's How. The space economy is worth nearly $500 billion — why wouldn't you want to get involved if you can? Use these four tips to find out how you can get started.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
We are living through a new era of space activity, and the evidence is all around us. From striking images of private sector rocket launches to new satellite and data capabilities to the innovative tools that will permit lunar exploration, the space industry is more vibrant and ripe with opportunity than ever before — and this is true not just for "space companies," whose primary business is space activity, services and tools, but for every company.
This may at first seem counterintuitive. The current space economy is valued at $469 billion, according to The Space Report, and is expected to top $639 billion by 2026. This growing economy is fueled by thousands of businesses large and small worldwide, and many of these companies are not space-specific. Instead, they are "space adjacent," which means their products and services have applications in the space industry, as well as in other sectors, like high-precision manufacturing, data science and artificial intelligence, and life sciences and biology.
In this era of dynamic growth in the space market, the challenge for entrepreneurs is to answer:
- Is their enterprise space adjacent or could it be changed to become space adjacent?
- What is the space market demanding and what could the company offer?
- How does the business leader or entrepreneur identify and access opportunities that require fundamentally innovative applications for space?
There is not one route or strategy that will lead a space-adjacent company into the space economy. The approach that best fits the existing business model isn't necessarily defined by the entrepreneur or business leader. Yet, there are best practices and signposts along the way that can facilitate entrance. With that in mind, here are four steps to consider when seeking opportunities in the global space economy.
1. Start local
As with any business endeavor, opportunity requires connections and collaboration. Wherever the business is located geographically (potential in more than one location), survey the area for organizations or businesses that are already engaged in the space economy.
This does not necessarily mean seeking out a rocket launch provider. Instead, consult with large manufacturers who may be selling technology components to civil or commercial space organizations. Engage with regional military installations, where there are sure to be space-engaged professionals who can help elucidate market opportunities and facilitate introductions. Look for local chamber of commerce events related to space and explore industry groups and academic institutions that may offer space-focused seminars and forums. Ultimately, only the entrepreneur or business leader will be able to precisely identify local space stakeholders. Step one is to find them and grow from there.
2. Seek new applications for existing IP
When we think of space products and activities, some might imagine breakthrough technologies invented in government-run labs whose applications begin and end in space. This is incorrect. In fact, while some space technologies are entirely novel (e.g. scientific instruments for biological experiments in microgravity), many are simply the reapplication of space tools and services devised for use on Earth.
To wit, entrepreneurs and businesses may already have intellectual property that, with some adjustments, could be sold to companies engaged in space activities. If you are engaged in textiles, do you hold a patent on an innovative material whose properties may be useful in space operations? If your business is in the food and beverage industry, could you cater to the local space operations on Earth or even adapt your product for consumption in space? In industrial construction, artificial intelligence, raw materials sourcing, supply chain optimization, the list of industries where existing products could be used in space is unending. When seeking space economy access, entrepreneurs should look to existing IP and consult with their growing network of space industry contacts.
3. Convert data to opportunity
The space-to-Earth market accounts for most of the space economy. Put another way, the enormous data flows pouring in from satellites and other space-based assets are the currently dominant area for financial return. Entrepreneurs and businesses in the data science fields can find eager customers seeking insights and services derived from this data. This can include markets for Earth observation, climate monitoring, logistics and transportation, agriculture, water management, public health and many other industries. In this, space adjacency is defined by the capacity to process and compute data streamed from space and sell the resulting insights to markets here on Earth.
For example, an incisive understanding of water levels and drought in a geographic region could be highly valuable to water utilities, local governments and agricultural businesses. The task for entrepreneurs and businesses is to consider how to access space-derived datasets, consider their data science capabilities and look to the marketplace for the intersection between space adjacency, data insights and on-Earth demand.
4. Check for patents in the public domain
Space activity is valuable in part because the tools and technology needed to operate in space often have important applications on Earth. In the United States, NASA offers a Technology Transfer Program and a database of thousands of its expired patents that are available for unrestricted commercial use. The European Space Agency also offers a technology transfer process. These and other space agencies already did costly, innovative work to create something new. Dig through these databases, consider your capabilities and identify patents you can use to bring new products to market.
We are still only at the beginning of a new era of space access and exploration, and analysts expect the global space economy will reach $1 trillion in the coming years. Entrepreneurs and business leaders who begin probing the space domain for opportunity today will not only open new revenue streams and invigorate innovation. They will also capitalize on first-mover advantages and position their organizations to lead as the space market grows.

Ukraine will receive 42 F-16 fighters after the training of pilots and engineers. This was announced after a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, who visited this country on August 20.
“Today we are taking another step towards strengthening the air shield of Ukraine. F-16. Aircraft that we use to keep Russian terrorists away from Ukrainian cities and villages,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote in a telegram.
Rutte noted that the Netherlands, as well as Denmark, will hand over the F-16 to Kyiv when the conditions for delivery are met. When exactly Ukraine will receive fighters and when the training of pilots will end, Rutte did not specify.
From the Netherlands, Zelensky went to Denmark. The Minister of Defense of this country, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, officially announced earlier that Denmark, together with the Netherlands, will transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine “for Ukraine’s struggle for freedom against Russia and its criminal aggression.”
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said Kyiv will receive 19 fighter jets. Of these, six, according to her, before the New Year, eight more – next year and the remaining five – later.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukraine has lost a significant part of its military aviation fleet, Kyiv has asked its Western allies to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with modern fighters.
Several NATO countries, in particular Poland and Slovakia, handed over Soviet-made combat aircraft to Ukraine.
In August, Washington gave permission to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets. Politico reported that a group of eight fluent English-speaking pilots had already been identified, but the first planes could not be delivered to Kyiv until spring 2024.

Do you die instantly in a plane crash?
In such an accident, everyone will likely die instantly.
Other airplane crashes are of the variety where the pilot has some control and the plane slows down and hits the ground moving until it comes to a stop.
So the answer to you question is it depends, if you survive the impact, yet still die, then yes..
What does dying in a plane crash feel like?
You May Briefly Experience Weightlessness. In a crash where your plane nosedives or hits a sharp turn, unconsciousness is an eventuality. Because of that, you might not actually feel what it’s like to go into freefall in your seat, but your body will experience it.
What is the cause of death in a plane crash?
Multiple injuries were listed as the immediate cause of death in 42% of the fatalities, followed by head injury (22%); internal injury of thorax, abdomen, or pelvis (12%); burns (4%); and drowning (3%). Head injuries were most common among children.
Has there ever been a successful water landing?
On 22 October 1962, a Northwest Airlines DC-7C with 7 crew and 95 passengers made a successful water landing in Sitka Sound. … The plane stayed afloat for 24 minutes after coming to rest in the water, giving the occupants ample time to evacuate into life-rafts.
What are the chances of surviving a plane crash in water?
The first concern of a crash over the open ocean is, of course, surviving the plane crash itself. And the odds of surviving are surprisingly good. More than 95 percent of the airplane passengers involved in an airplane crash survive, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
Is it safer to crash on land or water?
It would be safer on land. On land, the plane has no risk of flooding or sinking, and its occupants have no risk of drowning. If you’re on a plane with total engine failure, the pilots will try everything to land you on a runway. If, and ONLY if, their efforts fail, water is your best shot.
Is it better to land on water or land?
If you come down in the water you will be injured and unable to keep yourself afloat, and it will be much harder to rescue you. On land help will be much closer and, and as @RonBeyer says in comments, you can’t drown on land. … Water is the same wherever you go, and doesn’t have nearly enough give to cushion an impact.
What’s more dangerous takeoff or landing?
Boeing research shows that takeoff and landing are statistically more dangerous than any other part of a flight. 49% of all fatal accidents happen during the final descent and landing phases of the average flight, while 14% of all fatal accidents happen during takeoff and initial climb.
Has anyone survived a plane crash?
He was the sole survivor of Vietnam Airlines Flight 815, which had 65 deaths in total. The oldest sole survivor is Alexander Sizov, who was 52 years old when the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl plane crash occurred on 7 September 2011, with 44 fatalities. Another sole survivor is a former Serbian flight attendant, Vesna Vulović.
Why water landing is dangerous?
Water landing is hard and unpredictable. When you hit water at a very high speed, you can break the aircraft up as if you were hitting land. But if you hit it right, the water slows you down quickly. The danger of fire is hugely reduced.
Is dying in a plane crash painful?
Death in a high-impact plane crash is usually pretty quick and painless.
Why can’t planes float?
Airplanes are designed to be strong, but lightweight, and a large portion of their volume is nothing but air. A perfectly sealed airplane would float indefinitely. However, many airplanes are neither air-tight nor water-tight. That is not a part of their construction.
Is water landing safe?
Airplanes are designed so that a water landing won’t cause immediate harm to passengers. Many ditching-related deaths are from drowning, not the impact. But don’t let this discourage you from flying. Forced water landings are unlikely to happen, especially on a commercial flight.
Is it safer to fly at night or day?
However, the FAA say that in general aviation 69% of crashes at night cause pilot fatality compared to 59% during day. Various FAA/NTSB reports state (f. ex: This) that there’s more crashes during day than night but that’s hard to interpret: There’s a lot more planes in the air during the day.
Will you die if you jump out of a plane into water?
No, jumping out of an airplane without a parachute won’t necessarily kill you. It’s been done both accidentally numerous times and intentionally at least three times, once into a prepared landing site, once to meet another skydiver with a spare parachute, and once was into water.

NASA Confirms Thousands of Massive, Ancient Volcanic Eruptions on Mars
Some volcanoes can produce eruptions so powerful they release oceans of dust and toxic gases into the air, blocking out sunlight and changing a planet’s climate for decades. By studying the topography and mineral composition of a portion of the Arabia Terra region in northern Mars, scientists recently found evidence for thousands of such eruptions, or “super eruptions,” which are the most violent volcanic explosions known.
Affordable housing in outer space: Scientists develop cosmic concrete from space dust
Transporting a single brick to Mars can cost more than a million British pounds - making the future construction of a Martian colony seem prohibitively expensive. Scientists at The University of Manchester have now developed a way to potentially overcome this problem, by creating a concrete-like material made of extraterrestrial dust along with the blood, sweat and tears of astronauts.
Mars rocks collected by Perseverance boost case for ancient life
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has now collected two rock samples, with signs that they were in contact with water for a long period of time boosting the case for ancient life on the Red Planet.
NASA Perseverance Rover Collects First Mars Rock Sample
NASA’s Perseverance rover today completed the collection of the first sample of Martian rock, a core from Jezero Crater slightly thicker than a pencil. Mission controllers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California received data that confirmed the historic milestone.
Mars mission to pause for about 50 days
The Chinese probe Tianwen-1 will remain deactivated for about 50 days from mid-September due to the effect of solar electromagnetic radiation, local media reported today.
During this period, the Earth and Mars will be at the maximum distance and aligned with the Sun in between, so the solar electromagnetic radiation “will affect communications,” Zhang Rongqiao, Tianwen’s chief designer, told the media yesterday.
Such radiation will make communications difficult between the components of the mission, made up of an orbiter, a landing module and a rover called Zhurong, and control from Earth.
NASA plans yearlong Mars simulation to test limits of isolation
NASA wants four people to test the limits of human isolation by placing them in a simulated Mars habitat for a year, cut off from the world except for delayed communication and possible simulated spacesuit walks.
The simulation, planned for Johnson Space Center in Houston, won’t be the first time the space agency attempts to mimic a stay on Mars, but it will be one of the longest.
Predicting the weather on Mars
As scientists prepare for crewed research missions to nearby planets and moons, they’ve identified a need for something beyond rovers and rockets.
They need accurate weather forecasts. Without them, any trip to the surface may be one dust storm away from disaster.
NASA’s Perseverance Rover Successfully Cores Its First Rock
Data received late Sept. 1 from NASA’s Perseverance rover indicate the team has achieved its goal of successfully coring a Mars rock. The initial images downlinked after the historic event show an intact sample present in the tube after coring. However, additional images taken after the arm completed sample acquisition were inconclusive due to poor sunlight conditions. Another round of images with better lighting will be taken before the sample processing continues.
Shrooms in space
Mushroom expert Paul Stamets, author of Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World, is part of a new NASA-funded study on “astromycology,” how fungi could be used in space as building materials, to generate healthy soil for agriculture, and even as batteries. Scientific American interviewed Stamets about his current research and also his most far out ideas beyond the NASA project.

ROME The body of a U.S. Air Force pilot whose F-16 fighter jet went missing Monday during a nighttime training mission has been found in the Adriatic Sea.
The family of Capt. Lucas Gruenther said his body was found on Thursday afternoon.
Italian rescue teams were joined by F-16s in the search for Gruenther, and earlier in the week recovered debris believed to belong to his aircraft.
In a statement, the Gruenther family thanked "the many people who volunteered their time and resources to help bring Luc home."
Gruenther was with the 31st Fighter Wing, based at Aviano Air Base in Italy. The Air Force declined to give his age.
The Modesto (Calif.) Bee newspaper has reported that Gruenther is from Twain Harte, California.

Interview with Garry Hunt
As a co-presenter on The Sky at Night for more than 20 years, NASA scientist Garry Hunt gave a unique perspective on a historic period of space exploration when the Pioneer, Viking and Voyager missions were sending back unprecedented detail from the planets of the Solar System for the first time.
In the week running up to the 700th episode of The Sky at Night airing on 6 March 2011, we’re releasing some of our interviews with the show’s producers and co-presenters, which reveal fascinating behind-the-scenes insights into what it’s like to work on one of the longest-running shows in TV history. Here’s our recent interview with Garry Hunt, co-presenter for more than 20 years.
How did you get involved with the show?
It goes back to the 70s. I went to the States to work for NASA at JPL, where I became the only British scientist to be selected for the Voyager mission. Working at JPL, I was invited to come on the Sky at Night.
What missions did you cover with Patrick?
My first one may have been Pioneer 10, and then we covered every mission going to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Patrick and I worked together during a unique period in history, when space missions had visited every planet. We covered every one of them – not just the American Viking, Pioneer and Voyager missions but the Russian Veneras and the European Space Agency missions too.
And of course, the fact that I was on the inside working for NASA, meant that I was able to bring to Patrick, and therefore the programme, things on the inside track.
What was the most major discovery that you covered?
One of the most important things we did was going out to JPL in California, because of my Voyager work.
We covered the Voyager missions like a diary, making entries when the mission looked at surface features of Venus, the close up of the Red Spot, the volcanoes on Io, the details of Saturn’s rings, the first look at Titan and the first views of Uranus and Neptune.
More like this
What was it like working with Patrick?
We got on very well. I could understand what he was going to say by watching his lips. It’s not just a working relationship, we are very close friends. We’re very much alike in our backgrounds and we work very easily together.
One of the things that was great about Patrick and I was that we never needed to rehearse, we were both one-take guys. We were straight off, and it was always fluent and articulate.
He and I were like a nice long run in tennis. We knew how to play it. We knew how to interject and add an extra dimension.
Do you have a favourite use of props from your time on the show?
The things we did with model-maker Eric Ilett were great fun. He had to wear black stockings up above his elbows in order to move the equipment around when we were filming.
The famous one, which featured on The Two Ronnies, was Eric’s orrery. In the sketch, Ronnie Barker impersonated Patrick and the orrery was in the background. In the end one of the globes fell off.
What was it that was unique about The Sky at Night?
We were always able to be up to date on The Sky at Night (pictured, right, demonstrating the Viking 1 mission to Mars in 1976) and get it out to the man on the street. Science on TV at that time was badly put across and the popularisation of science was frowned upon.
The thing that we were able to do was to get it across so the general public could understand, and that was very important.

When Emirates makes its maiden Dubai to Panama City flight on February 1, 2016, it becomes the world’s longest non-stop commercial flight, covering a distance close to 14,000 kilometers and takes 17 hours and 35 minutes in West-bound direction.
But how does this compare with other extended non-stop commercial flights?
The World Economic Forum has an infographic about it.
The longest-ever non-stop commercial flight was Singapore Airlines Flight 21 which flew between Singapore and Newark, New Jersey until November 23, 2013. It covered a distance of 15,329 kilometers and took almost 19 hours to complete.

An article featured on AOPA.org, as written by Dan Namowitz, describes changes to student pilot certifications.
An excerpt from the article reads...
AOPA is reminding student pilots and their flight instructors that significant changes in the process of applying for and issuing student pilot certificates take effect on April 1 in conjunction with a new rule adopted by the FAA.
For student pilots, this means that it will no longer be possible to obtain a combined medical certificate and student pilot certificate from an aviation medical examiner. There will be no expiration date on the new student pilot certificates.
Flight instructors will no longer endorse student pilot certificates, but will make those endorsements in student pilots’ logbooks. Instructors also will find themselves playing an active role in the process of issuing student pilot certificates because CFIs will be among those designated as persons authorized to process a student pilot’s application, ensuring that it is in order before forwarding it to the FAA. Student pilots will have other options for applying for the certificate, such as applying through their local FAA flight standards district office, designated pilot examiners, or some Part 141 school officials.
The FAA has estimated that it will take approximately three weeks to approve and return the new plastic student pilot certificates to applicants by mail.

On a clear May morning in Shanghai, the C919 airliner took its maiden voyage to rapturous applause from onlookers below. The single-aisle jet, designed and manufactured by Commercial Aircraft Corp. of China, or Comac, signals a turning point not only for China but also the global aerospace manufacturing sector. For more than 30 years, it’s been China’s dream to control its own fate where aviation hardware is concerned, and with the successful demonstration of the C919—already being called a “game changer”—that dream comes one step closer to becoming a reality.
Industry leaders Boeing and Airbus now face a serious competitor in the world’s most valuable single-country aircraft market—and Comac has the home advantage. Back in September, Boeing singled out China as its number one market, worth an estimated $1 trillion over the next 20 years. The entire Asia Pacific region, one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, is valued at more than $2.3 trillion.
So crucial is the Chinese market that Boeing, in cooperation with Comac, just began construction on a 737 completion center in the island-city of Zhoushan. The center is Boeing’s first-ever overseas facility. By 2018, it should be capable of delivering as many as 100 737s per year.
In an industry virtually controlled by two companies, a little competition is more than welcome. According to Aviation Week Network, Boeing and Airbus—both of which are held in the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS)—represent 66 percent of the market today. By 2025, they’re projected to manufacture three out of every four new aircraft, with state-owned Comac gaining 1 percent of the market.
Aviation Week could be underestimating Comac’s prospects. Chinese carriers and leasing companies have already placed more than 500 orders for the C919, which is designed to compete directly with the ubiquitous Boeing 737 and Airbus A320. The narrow-body jet is scheduled to start rolling off the production line in 2019.
A Global Supply Chain
As China seeks to become a high-income, high-tech country, nurturing a homegrown aerospace manufacturing sector is crucial. Aerospace equipment, in fact, is among the 10 key areas of Chinese president Xi Jinping’s “Made in China 2025” initiative, which aims to upgrade the country’s manufacturing industry to include more advanced technologies.
To build the C919, Comac currently relies on a long list of foreign, mostly-Western suppliers. This includes American multinationals General Electric and Honeywell, the latter of which has been working with Comac on the C919 program since the company was founded in 2008. Since it’s is years behind Boeing, Airbus and other established manufacturers, it’s completely reasonable for Comac to take advantage of technologies that already exist.
We wish Comac the best of luck and look forward to seeing where it goes from here! In the meantime, be sure to explore the holdings in the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS), which includes not only airlines but also aerospace manufacturers and transportation infrastructure companies.

The U.S. Marine Corps will conduct training exercises at Long Beach Airport, with two F/A-18 aircraft arriving Friday evening and departing Sunday.
The aircraft are expected to conduct training on Saturday and Sunday before their departure, according to Councilman Daryl Supernaw’s office.
The aircraft are exempt from the airport’s strict noise ordinance. “However, the military has demonstrated a desire to assist us in being a good neighbor and they have been very responsive to community concerns within their mission and safety of flight constraints,” Supernaw’s office said.
The aircraft will use noise abatement procedures when operating near LGB, officials said.
Heads up: the @USMC will conduct training operations with 2 F/A-18 aircraft this weekend at Long Beach Airport. We anticipate they'll arrive today and depart shortly thereafter, returning again on Sat. & Sun. for add'l training operations (all times subject to change). pic.twitter.com/ExAEKAzmvP

Efforts in this section were performed pretty much in parallel as the parts were fabricated one by one. Here's a top view of the control stick section. Note the RT-2 (roll trim brackets) and the nylon washers I was using at this time.
I reversed the direction of the FMN10 bearings at the aft bearing block as an added resistance to thrust loads by the control stick. Looking at the construction of the FMN10 bearings, I just can't imagine that the thrust load will be high enough (by the control stick) to push the bearing out of its housing, especially through the top end of the metal housing. Since the entire rudder torque tube is tied together as one, the opposing orientation of the FMN10 bearings may provide an added resistance to the thrust load both fore and aft directions.

Space Explorers: 25 Extraordinary Stories of Space Exploration and Adventure; Libby Jackson, illustrated by Léonard Dupond
If you want to read fascinating stories about space and the personnel involved in sending humans hundreds of kilometres above the Earth then books by Libby Jackson are a very good place to start. Having previously read A Galaxy of Her Own: 50 Stories of Women in Space, I was anticipating another astronomically good read. And so with my spacesuit ready and the rocket fuelled up, I started the countdown ready to launch into her latest book.
Space Explorers is twenty-five short stories that retell iconic moments and achievements in the space race. Told in chronological order, the stories cover the period from 1957 to the future. The last story is an imagined mission to Mars that makes for a truly fascinating read. In fact, the whole book makes for a fascinating read. Libby Jackson expertly captures the excitement, the fear, the in-trepidation, the breathtaking moments and the moments of sheer panic and terror of those involved in the various missions both on the ground and up in space.
Rich in detail, information and facts, Jackson provides details on several missions and names many of the astronauts, cosmonauts and taikonauts that have ventured into space along with all sorts of things going wrong and incredible firsts. There are computers malfunctioning high above the Earth, explosions, problematic spacesuits, farming and growing food, recording a music album, a clever use for a toothbrush and a perfectly fitting felt-tip.
Whilst many stories focus on specific missions, I particularly enjoyed those that focused on certain aspects of space: food, what it takes to be an astronaut, the International Space Station and life in space all made for very interesting reading and added something that little bit different. More poignant and sombre stories detail the terrible consequences and tragic loss of life when things go horribly wrong.
Léonard Dupond provides the rich artwork. Full page illustrations are delightful as too are the smaller objects that flit amongst the pages of text: rockets, planets, origami birds and more all add to the first class presentation. The endpapers are gorgeous too, colourful planets against the blackness of space.
An incredibly stylish book.

CAA will not investigate helicopter crash
Lessons can still be learnt from a fatal helicopter crash eight years ago, a retired Civil Aviation Authority investigator says, despite the watchdog saying it will not investigate the crash.
The wreckage of the Hughes 500 helicopter, which went missing in 2004, with pilot Campbell Montgomerie, 27, from Waikato, and his English girlfriend Hannah Rose Timings, 28, was found in Fiordland last week.
The pair have yet to be formally identified; this will be done through DNA.
Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesman Mike Richards today announced the authority would not investigate the crash as "essentially nothing new has so far come to light".
“Therefore, the CAA does not consider that it can learn anything new, in the context of aviation safety, from an investigation of wreckage that is almost nine years old.
"Obviously, if new evidence does come to light that would give us a key safety learning for the aviation sector, then we would re-consider," Richards said.
“While we have requested photographs taken at the scene by the police and the potential recovery of the emergency locator transmitter, this information is intended for use to confirm the identity of the wreckage and compile a synopsis of events for recording in the internal data base.”
Richards also confirmed the CAA did not open a formal accident investigation in 2004.
“This was a result of the known circumstances about the event at the time., including the poor weather, mountainous terrain and the fact the helicopter could not be found.
"Although there was some data recorded in our system as an aircraft occurrence regarding: aircraft type missing, the general location and meteorological forecasts at the time, this was not progressed as an investigation," he said.
Retired CAA investigator Tom McCready criticised the authority for taking a narrow-minded approach to the cause of the crash.
"They haven't even turned up to the crash site. It's a bit disappointing. They haven't looked into much at all."
McCready said there were "other scenarios" aside from the weather and terrain that should be considered.
He said the engine could have failed, the pressure sensing lines could have cracked, or the engine compressor stalled, among many other possibilities.
"If you're a betting man it could've been the weather. But there's a whole raft of things it could have been. Do you know it wasn't one of these other things?"
McCready said in other fatal crashes he had investigated "other significant contributing factors" were uncovered. While these did not cause the crash, they provided "valuable lessons" for the aviation community, he said.

NASA gave SpaceX the green light to transport four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) next week after completing an official flight readiness review. Liftoff will take place as scheduled on April 22 at 6:11 a.m.ET at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The upcoming Crew Dragon launch marks some firsts for Elon Musk’s space company. Not only is this the first crew flight using a recycled Falcon and Dragon craft, according to Phys.org, but it is also the first with two international partners. The Falcon 9 rocket has the same first stage as launched astronauts to the ISS in November, while the capsule (named Endeavor) carried NASA’s Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley back and forth from the space station last spring.
Both are reusable and are part of the larger line of SpaceX spacecraft. The Falcon 9 is a two-stage rocket designed to carry payloads and crewed spacecraft into orbit. It has the same Merlin engine as the bigger one Heavy hawk and was used in a total of 122 launches. While the Dragon is a capsule equipped with 16 Draco thrusters for maneuvering in orbit and several parachutes for reentry and landing.
This time, the mission’s astronauts include Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, as well as Akihiko Hoshide from the Japanese Space Agency and Thomas Pesquet from the European Space Agency. They will spend six months aboard the ISS and replace the four members of Crew 1 returning home.
It only remains to fix a minor issue before the targeted launch. SpaceX vice president Bill Gerstenmaier said the company noticed slightly more liquid oxygen propellant being pumped into the first stage tanks than they realized. Engineers are currently ensuring that the disparity poses no safety hazard. If the issue is resolved as planned, the astronauts are expected to take off as planned and dock at the station on the morning of April 23. You can watch the launch live on NASA Television.

Featuring the company’s latest generation base coat/clear coat system and Aerodur 3001/3002 range, the aircraft is also coated with Aeroflex wing coatings and Aerofine interior cabin coatings. One of its first jobs was to fly Iceland football fans to Russia.
“We have been partners with Icelandair for many years and were delighted to supply products for their eye-catching new livery,” said John Griffin, Director of AkzoNobel’s Aerospace Coatings business. “The design looks stunning and our high performance coatings will continue to provide the kind of protection and endurance that has helped Icelandic culture and heritage to thrive for so many years.”
Added Icelandair’s Jón Skafti Kristjánsson, Director of Marketing: “We wanted to do something remarkable to celebrate these milestones in Iceland’s history, Iceland’s sovereignty and the Icelandic National team’s debut at the World Cup, and are thrilled with the result. AkzoNobel products are used on the entire Icelandair fleet and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and efficiency of the solutions the company supplies. It’s a winning partnership in every sense.”
AkzoNobel has pioneered and developed many of the coatings technologies used in the modern aerospace industry. This includes waterborne coatings, base coat/clear coat systems, high solids/low VOC coatings, peelable coatings, selectively removable systems and special effects coatings, as well as chrome-free systems.
The company’s recent acquisition of Disa Technology has also allowed AkzoNobel to expand its product portfolio to include film technology used on aircraft.
Added Griffin: “Our emphasis is on producing sustainable, high performance, cost-effective coatings that are easy to use. These qualities have been fundamental to our relationship with Icelandair, which is built on trust, service, quality and reliability.”
Icelandair’s new Boeing 757-300 is the carrier’s third aircraft to feature special livery. The other two are based on the Northern Lights and Europe’s second largest glacier, Vatnajokull. Both were created with AkzoNobel products.

On a cool January morning in 2003, Columbia took off from Cape Canaveral on mission STS-107. It was a routine flight until February 1, when the space shuttle became a flying hell, more than 1,500 kilometers from the landing strip.
This resulted in a major tragedy for the mission, with the death of all seven crew members. However, a scenario involving the possibility of a rescue operation was later proposed, which was considered nearly impossible and risky.
A “suicide mission”, but possible
NASA was aware that Columbia had suffered impact damage from fuel tank foam during the mission, but chose not to inspect it.
The Colombia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) said that if they had inspected, they could have launched a rescue operation. According to CAIB, despite the risks, NASA, accustomed to overcoming challenges, could achieve this.
The rescue mission would involve Atlantis and be of unprecedented complexity and danger. Astronauts must undergo rigorous training 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Due to Colombia’s food and water reserves, the time frame to carry out the operation would be limited to approximately 30 days.
The proposed rescue team would include experienced astronauts Eileen Collins and Jim Kelly. The process would have taken approximately nine hours, pushing the two astronauts beyond their physical limits.
Effects of the accident
Although NASA implemented changes after the Columbia accident, it psychologically marked the end of the Space Shuttle program. This tragedy is a reminder of the risks of space exploration and the importance of constant vigilance.
Although it was considered a salvage operation, uncertainty remains as to how Colombia’s fate might have turned out.

The Department of Transport’s failure to inspect aircraft at Shannon Airport leaves Ireland relying on the good faith of those transporting munitions through Irish sovereign territory.
By Conor O’Carroll
The highest number of munitions exemptions since 2016 was granted by the Department of Transport in October, raising questions over whether Ireland has facilitated the supply of munitions to the ongoing conflict in Gaza through its sovereign territory.
182 applications were granted by the Department last month, up from 122 in September. This represents the highest monthly total from the available records, which date back to 2016.
The figures come from the routinely published statistics on the number of exemptions granted to civil aircraft under the Air Navigation (Carriage of Munitions of War, Weapons and Dangerous Goods) Orders 1973 and 1989.
Under these orders, “it is expressly prohibited for civil aircraft to carry munitions of war in Irish sovereign territory, without being granted an exemption to do so by the Minister for Transport”, Minister of State Jack Chambers TD said in response to a parliamentary question posed by independent TD, Thomas Pringle, in September.
The latest figures show that there was a 42% increase in the number of applications received by the Department in October, though it should be noted that the figures are based on the date the Department issued a decision on each application, not the date the application was received or the date of the flight itself.
The vast majority of the exemptions granted (158) permitted flights to fly through Irish sovereign territory, while the remaining 24 exemptions permitted flights to land and take off from Ireland.
These flights relate to civilian aircraft that are contracted by militaries, typically the US, to transport munitions to different parts of the globe. Some exceptions also relate to diplomatic flights where security personnel are armed.
The Department also does not appear to inspect the planes that land in Ireland, to ensure they are carrying what their applications say
Designated military aircraft are the responsibility of the Department of Foreign Affairs and any aircraft wishing to enter Irish airspace requires diplomatic clearance from the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
This clearance is subject to strict conditions, according to the government, with a requirement that the aircraft be unarmed, carrying no arms and not be part of intelligence gathering or a military operation.
The presence of US military aircraft in Irish airspace has been a hotly debated topic for many years. Peace activists have long demanded that Ireland end its arrangement with the US military, arguing that it violates the constitutional protection of neutrality.
Two weeks ago pro-Palestinian supporters staged a protest outside the Department of Transport, demanding that Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan TD, stop providing exemptions to US military aircraft headed for Israel.
Many of the munitions carried through Irish airspace on US military aircraft drop off at regional bases, such as in Eastern Europe for Ukrainian supplies, or in bases in the Middle East, meaning tracking where the munitions end up is practically impossible.
Village asked the Department of Transport whether it seeks the final destination of any munitions it provides an exemption for. A spokesperson for the Department did not respond specifically, but did say that the exemption “is not an approval to land at any airport outside the State”.
The Department also does not appear to inspect the planes that land in Ireland, to ensure they are carrying what their applications say.
In the same response to Pringle, Minister Chambers said “insofar as it can be determined, there is no record of an inspection of a civil aircraft having been carried out pursuant to these Orders”.
The latest figures show that there was a 42% increase in the number of applications received by the Department in October.
A Department spokesperson told Village: “While the orders do provide for the inspection of a civil aircraft to ensure compliance, it is only whenever it appears that a flight would be in contravention of them. There is no provision for such an inspection without this prerequisite”.
They also provided the same response from Minister Chambers when asked whether an aircraft had ever been inspected.
“The complete lack of willingness to inspect the flights is shocking”, Pringle told Village.
“As an independent state we can take the view that other states can transit through our airports and airspace but the very least we could do is check that they are complying with our laws and respecting our status as a neutral independent state”, he continued.
One of the US military aircraft that flew through Irish airspace last month disappeared off-radar over Jordan, Village Magazine can reveal, further complicating the task of tracking the final destination of the aircraft and its cargo.
The aircraft, which is owned by Omni Air International, entered Irish airspace in the early hours of 11 October 11 en route to Bulgaria, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
It had taken off from Bangor International Airport, in Maine, the previous evening, but had made stops at Hill Air Force Base in Utah and Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota before crossing the Atlantic.
The aircraft also used a call sign reserved for the US Transportation Command (CMB), the US Department of Defence body responsible for providing the US military with air, land, and sea transportation.
Flight logs show that the aircraft disappeared abruptly over Jordan, before reappearing several hours later and continuing on its journey, suggesting it turned off its transponder to mask its location.
This practice isn’t unusual when travelling over or close to a warzone, but the time difference between the pings on the map above is significant.
A spokesperson confirmed that this aircraft received an exemption from the Department of Transport in Ireland.
Tracking six other US military aircraft since the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza, Village found a further five ‘disappearances’ over Jordan, though in every other case, the aircraft avoided entering Irish airspace.
The flight logs of these seven aircraft also show there have been at least 26 layovers in Shannon Airport since the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza, and one in Dublin. Thirteen of these layovers arrived from the US and went on to connect to US military bases in Europe and the Middle East.
Eleven of these flights had also visited US military bases before crossing the Atlantic and eight arrived using CMB call signs, though several flights that arrived with alternative call signs changed to CMB upon leaving Shannon.
There were also a further 35 entries into Irish airspace by these aircraft. Almost half (16) of these came from aircraft connecting to US military bases in Europe & the Middle East.
All sixteen of these flights passed through Irish airspace using CMB call signs, while nine of them visited US military bases before crossing the Atlantic.
One of the aircraft found by Village that landed in Shannon did not receive an exemption, according to a response to a parliamentary question by Minister Chambers.
The aircraft in question, which is owned by Eastern Airlines, landed in Shannon on the 17 October having visited Nellis Air Force Base before taking off from Bangor International Airport.
After leaving Shannon, it travelled to Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates before returning to the US, again via Shannon Airport.
Minister Chamber told independent TD, Catherine Connolly, that “no exemptions permitting the carriage of munitions of war on civil aircraft in Irish sovereign territory were granted”.
The flight logs of these seven aircraft also show there have been at least 26 layovers in Shannon Airport since the outbreak of the conflict in Gaza, and one in Dublin
When questioned whether any steps were taken to ensure this was the case, Minister Chambers replied: “Given previous engagement with the airline and its awareness of the requirements of Irish law regarding the carriage of munitions of war on board aircraft in Irish sovereign airspace, it was not deemed necessary to follow-up on any particular flight that an exemption had not been sought for”.
A Department spokesperson did not respond to questions on how it could be sure of compliance if it has never inspected an aircraft, nor did they answer whether relying on good faith was sufficient.
When asked by Village whether she felt it was possible munitions destined for Israel had passed through Irish sovereign territory, Connolly said “these are the questions [that need to be asked]” and that we “simply don’t know” because the government is “looking the other way”.
She said the lack of inspections on aircraft was making a “mockery of our neutrality” and that while the Minister had reassured her of compliance, she wasn’t interested in reassurance, asking for evidence instead.

A road at Brisbane Airport was named after her and, likewise, a building at Gold Coast Airport – but who was Ivy May Pearce?
As Girls in Aviation Day (September 27) approaches, University of Southern Queensland aviation expert Natasha Heap hopes her research into one of Australia’s first female pilots will inspire more women to join an industry in crisis.
“The aviation industry has been grounded amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but will slowly find its wings again,” Ms Heap said.
“Key to its future is a pipeline of young people ready to fill the vacancies that will be there by the time they graduate.”
Ms Heap said gender had continued to hold back women in the sector, with just five per cent currently making up the global pilot workforce.
“We have a short yet rich history, and in order to grow we must recognise and celebrate how we got here by looking at what icons like Ivy May Pearce were doing back in the 30s,” she said.
Born in Ipswich, Ivy attended school in Dalby and Brisbane before learning to fly at Archerfield.
At 20 years old, a 1935 edition of The Australian Woman’s Mirror reported Ivy’s flight licence and said she was ‘claimed by Queensland as its youngest girl air-pilot’.
Her first passenger was the Archbishop of Brisbane James Dulhig, and she handled the aircraft ‘like a veteran.’
Ivy’s flying career highlight was as one of five female pilots, and the youngest entrant overall, to compete in the Brisbane to Adelaide Centenary Air Race in 1936.
“Air races were a crowd pleaser and a way for pilots to show off their skills and measure themselves and the improving technology and speed of their aircraft against each other,” Ms Heap said.
“Once she finished her flying career, Ivy was quite the celebrity.
“Her life was long and adventurous, later running the Railway Hotel in Toowoomba and establishing herself as a world renowned fashion designer and owner of one of the first fashion boutiques on the Gold Coast.”
University of Southern Queensland aviation expert Natasha Heap will present ‘Did you know? Girls in Aviation Day: Who is Ivy May Pearce’ on September 17

Throughout its existence the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force / Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force enjoyed a healthy working and social relationship with the Royal Air Force in Hong Kong. Indeed, during the early years following the second world war the aircraft flown by the unit were provided by the RAF. In addition, hangarage and Headquarters buildings were provided by the RAF on RAF Kai Tak station. This effectively meant the Station Commander RAF Kai Tak was the unit’s landlord.
The Commanding Officer of the HKAAF / RHKAAF, by virtue of its ordinance, was answerable to the Governor of Hong Kong for the operation of the unit. At the same time the Commander Royal Air Force Hong Kong (CRAF) was the Governor’s advisor on all military flying in Hong Kong. This, in effect, meant the unit was obliged to satisfy CRAF on its flying standards. Annually, a team from the RAF in the United Kingdom visited Hong Kong to examine the RAF and HKAAF / RHKAAF aircrews. Although officially entitled “Air Support Command Standardisation Unit” the visitors were better known as “Trappers”. It is pleasing to know the HKAAF / RHKAAF never received a bad report from these examiners.
The officers appointed to the posts of Commander Royal Air Force Hong Kong and Station Commander Royal Air Force Kai Tak are listed below. It should be noted, from 1973 (as Air Headquarters Hong Kong no longer existed) the duties of CRAF was also carried by the Station Commander RAF Kai Tak, until that station closed in 1978, at which time the mantle was taken up by the OC RAF Shek Kong.

"Global Launch System Payload Market Anticipated to Reach $23.53 Billion by 2028, BIS Research Reports"
The global launch system payload market has exhibited a high growth in the recent past. Many of the launch systems built at the beginning of The Space Age (1950s) - a time period that saw active explorations of space and development in space technologies - were government-led projects specifically. Only in the early 2010s, did the private players emerged in the field of space technology. The launch system payload market has witnessed a high growth rate owing to the growth in the use of satellites for different applications -- such as faster, reliable, and efficient real-time tracking and monitoring system for ships, aircraft, earth observation (EO), and broadband access. The recent innovations in satellite technology have enabled many commercial and academic institutes too, to deploy small satellites. These advanced small satellite hardware subsystems are the result of high capability and feasibility of small packaging in electronic devices. In recent years, the utilization of space has become prominent for both commercial and civil applications. The commercial space sector, in particular, is observing an increase in the number of start-ups developing disruptive technologies for the space industry.
Satellites play a crucial role in enabling services such as communication, navigation, and environmental monitoring for the commercial, military, and government end users. There is an extensive demand for satellites today as there's an increasing need for faster, reliable, and efficient real-time tracking and monitoring system. Consequently, launch vehicles for satellites are an essential aspect of the global space industry, as they carry and place satellites into their assigned positions on the Earth's orbit.
The satellite launch industry is witnessing tremendous growth with many new players entering the market. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a US-based regulatory authority for civil aviation, the global launch services were estimated to be around $5.5 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow with the booming space economy.
Global launch system payload market has witnessed a high growth rate owing to the growing demand for satellite launches, specifically satellite constellations (that comprise several small satellites). The global launch system payload market recorded 390 satellite launches in 2017, with more number of small satellite launches in the forecast period.
Global launch system payload market is segmented into four classes, as per the weight of satellites: 1-500 Kg, 501-2,000 Kg, 2,001-5,000 Kg, and 5,001-10,000 Kg. The 1-500 Kg class dominated the global launch system payload market (in terms of the number of satellite launches) in 2017. The increase in the number of satellite constellations which comprise of small satellites, due to a growing need for data connectivity across the globe, is the reason behind 1-500 Kg class of satellites having the largest share in the market. During the forecast period, 1-500 Kg class of satellites is expected to grow at a faster rate in comparison with the other classes.
North America, followed by Asia-Pacific, and Europe is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period (2018-2028). The U. S. is the leading country in the global launch system payload market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR, with China dominating the market in this region. India is likely to grow at a much faster rate as compared to the other countries due to the continuous efforts by both the government and private players in India to advance the space sector.
Some of the key players in the global launch system payload market include: Arianespace, Blue Origin, EUROCKOT Launch Services GmbH, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, International Launch Services, Interorbital Systems, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems, Rocket Lab USA, Inc., Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX), United Launch Alliance, Virgin Orbit, and Vector Launch.

The Pakistan International Airline hired on Tuesday pilots on contract basis to operate its special flight to the United Kingdom.
According to the PIA spokesperson, all cabin and crew members in the flight were provided with essential security kits against the novel coronavirus.
“A special team comprising doctors and paramedics has been formed for screening and checkups of the staff members,” he said, adding that everyone is screened before and after boarding the plane.
The airplane and luggage was also disinfected.
The decision was taken after pilots of the company refused to fly. The Pakistan Airlines Pilots Association Club has been protesting against PIA for not adopting precautionary measures to protect its employees from COVID-19.
On Monday, four pilots and crew members were quarantined by health officials at Karachi’s airport. They were released after their coronavirus reports came out negative.
Pakistan has shut down all of its international and domestic flight operations. Only special flights have been exempted from the order.

Eleven skydivers killed in 'tragic' Hawaii plane crash
Fire chief Manuel Neves describes the crash as the "most tragic aircraft incident that we've had".
Sunday 23 June 2019 06:31, UK
Eleven skydivers have died after a plane that was carrying them crashed shortly after take-off, officials in Hawaii have said.
There were no survivors in the crash, which happened near Dillingham Airfield on Oahu's north shore.
Firefighters arrived at the scene of the incident to find the twin engine King Air plane engulfed in flames.
Initial findings suggested the crash happened as the plane was taking off, according to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Fire chief Manuel Neves said some family members were at the airport as the flight took off, but names of the victims are yet to be released.
Some witnesses said the plane crashed as it was coming into the airport but this has not been confirmed.
Mr Neves described the site of the crash as being "quite a way away from the runway" and added: "In my 40 years as a firefighter here in Hawaii, this is the most tragic aircraft incident that we've had."
He said that many details are still not known about the incident.
Initially, officials said six people were on board the flight but the number was later raised to 11.
Two FAA inspectors have already inspected the site and investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board are arriving on Saturday evening.
According to FAA records, the plane was manufactured in 1967.

if youre just throwing a paper plane across the room, you might as well have something that looks cool. For example, in the super-simple plane made by multiply folding down the.5 side of a piece of paper and folding wings, youd want to fold exactly half the paper into the planes leading edge. Ayoob, who played quarterback for two seasons at Cal, told. LiveScience, how the Heck Was a Foil Ball Transformed into This Smooth, Shiny Sphere? Notice all these design features in the plans for Blackburns world-record paper airplane, shown above. I make pointed airplanes myself, says Blackburn. A straight-winged Cessna can land almost flat to the runway. And a good throw means different things for different planes (well get into specs later but for a world-record attempt, you use a baseball-style throw to launch the plane straight up, as high as possible theres video of Blackburns Georgia Dome launch and subsequent.6-second. He shares his knowledge and appreciation for paper airplanes through demonstrations at craft fairs, as well as his website and YouTube channel. You'd Also Like, when a Drone Crashes into an Airplane, Everyone Has a Bad Time. The record-setting plane was folded by John Collins, the self-proclaimed dissertation
"Paper Airplane Guy." Collins has been designing paper planes since childhood and has studied origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. But a world-record plane needs both the ability to act like a dart during launch, and like a glider after it levels off a tricky balance. Mathematically, it means that in a square-winged plane, you need exactly half the planes weight right up front on the nose to make the full center of gravity rest a quarter of the way back. Instead of adding aerodynamically beneficial ballast, fold your wings slightly up, so that when you look directly at the planes nose, the fuselage and wings form the letter Y, not the letter T (horizontal wings) and certainly not like an upward-pointing arrow or three-line Christmas. Long, rectangular wings are for slow speeds and long glides, and short, swept-back wings are for high speeds and maneuverability, said Blackburn, when I interviewed him for my book, Brain Trust. The longest time flying a paper aircraft.2 sec and was achieved by Takuo Toda (Japan in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima, Japan, on 19 December 2010.

Quot; thereapos, but worldrecord rules disallow any additions to the paper. Reducing the planes profile and thus its drag. Which would allow him to make wings from the 11inch rather than.

If so, so optimal design is a balance between stability and lift. Wing shape defines other aspects of design.

You can see this in the difference between the condor and the swallow.You can also see these swept-back wings on the space shuttle, and because these high-speed wings have very little lift at low speeds, the shuttle needs to keep an aggressive, nose-up angle of attack even when landing.

Quotes by Neil Armstrong
Welcome to our collection of quotes (with shareable picture quotes) by Neil Armstrong. We hope you enjoy pondering them and that you will share them widely.
Wikipedia Summary for Neil Armstrong
Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer, and the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor.
A graduate of Purdue University, Armstrong studied aeronautical engineering; his college tuition was paid for by the U.S. Navy under the Holloway Plan. He became a midshipman in 1949 and a naval aviator the following year. He saw action in the Korean War, flying the Grumman F9F Panther from the aircraft carrier USS Essex. In September 1951, while making a low bombing run, Armstrong's aircraft was damaged when it collided with an anti-aircraft cable, strung across a valley, which cut off a large portion of one wing. Armstrong was forced to bail out. After the war, he completed his bachelor's degree at Purdue and became a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station at Edwards Air Force Base in California. He was the project pilot on Century Series fighters and flew the North American X-15 seven times. He was also a participant in the U.S. Air Force's Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs.
Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in the second group, which was selected in 1962. He made his first spaceflight as command pilot of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space. During this mission with pilot David Scott, he performed the first docking of two spacecraft; the mission was aborted after Armstrong used some of his re-entry control fuel to stabilize a dangerous roll caused by a stuck thruster. During training for Armstrong's second and last spaceflight as commander of Apollo 11, he had to eject from the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle moments before a crash.
On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent two and a half hours outside the Lunar Module Eagle spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Apollo Command Module Columbia. When Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon. President Jimmy Carter presented Armstrong with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and Armstrong and his former crewmates received a Congressional Gold Medal in 2009.
After he resigned from NASA in 1971, Armstrong taught in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati until 1979. He served on the Apollo 13 accident investigation and on the Rogers Commission, which investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
It's different, but it's very pretty out here. I suppose they are going to make a big deal of all this.
I can honestly say -- and it's a big surprise to me -- that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.
Society's future will depend on a continuous improvement program for the human character. And what will that future bring? I do not know, but it will be exciting.
I guess because deejaying has become my job, I tend to listen to really horrible stuff on my spare time. If you heard my iPod you'd be like, what the hell?
Lindsay Lohan isn't a DJ, but because of her celebrity power she can do a gig somewhere, put her name on a flyer, and she'll probably bring in more people and make more money than I ever will.
I think if there was anything I learned from our skipper was that it's not how you look; it's how you perform.
This blowing dust became increasingly thicker. It was very much like landing in a fast moving ground fog.
History will remember the twentieth century for two technological developments: atomic energy and space flight.
Every flying machine has its own unique characteristics, some good, some not so good. Pilots naturally fly the craft in such a manner as to take advantage of its good characteristics and avoid the areas where it is not so good.
There are people I'll always love to listen to, and I'm always ending up discovering new songs by them, which is crazy. Like Stevie Wonder.
When you deejay a party, a good DJ's job is to take care of the crowd. If people want to hear Britney Spears, that's what you're supposed to do.
It's a strange, eerie sensation to fly a lunar landing trajectory not difficult, but somewhat complex and unforgiving.
All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street.
Houston, that may have seemed like a very long final phase. The autotargeting was taking us right into a ... crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks ... and it required ... flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.
For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.
Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that's when something snaps up and bites you.
It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.
As a boy, because I was born and raised in Ohio, about 60 miles north of Dayton, the legends of the Wrights have been in my memories as long as I can remember.
We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.

Concise equations for improvements in computational efficiency on dynamics of rotor systems are presented. Two coordinate ordering methods are introduced in the element equations of motion. One is in the real domain and the other is in the complex domain. The two coordinate ordering algorithms lead to compact element matrices. A station numbering technique is also proposed for the system equations during the assembly process. The proposed numbering technique can minimize the matrix bandwidth, the memory storage and can increase the computational efficiency. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the benefit of the proposed algorithms.

Flight safety is a critical design and engineering consideration within the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and particularly the United States Air Force (USAF). This study conducts an independent evaluation of the airworthiness assessment process used by the United States Air Force’s Engineering Directorate through modeling and simulation. The airworthiness process is examined for its ability to effectively verify sound engineering design and efficiency with respect to the implementation of new software-based assessment tools and its impact on timeliness of reviews and resource utilization. Simulation results guide recommendations for reducing non-value-added activities and strategic leveling of resource demands to increase efficiency and decrease processing time. Lastly, from observation and detailed study of the aircraft airworthiness process, recommendations are made for the space domain toward the development of a re-qualification process for reusable launch vehicles, as this is a growing area of interest for the space community

(Yicai Global) Nov. 8 -- China Commercial Aircraft, or COMAC, is striving to begin production of the first CR929 plane developed in tandem with Russia by 2021 as it looks to widen its portfolio of aircraft.
The two nations are currently drafting preliminary designs and selecting suppliers, The Paper cited COMAC's Deputy General Manager Guo Bozhi as saying at an industry leaders' summit during the China International Import Expo yesterday. He did not disclose further details.
The CR929 is a wide-body passenger aircraft that China and Russia agreed to build together and set up a Shanghai-based joint venture to design in May 2017. The base model CR929-600 is benchmarked against the Boeing 787 and has 280 seats and a maximum range of 12,000 kilometers.
COMAC is looking to expand its plane portfolio beyond the self-develop regional airliner ARJ21, Guo added. The firm showcased the ARJ21 at the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition and Paris Air Show this year, and has plans to make a new version of the jet intended for cargo transport.
The ARJ21 models can transport between 78 and 90 passengers over distances from 2,225 to 3,700 kilometers and is capable of operating at all of China's regular plateau airports and most of its high plateau airports. The Civil Aviation Administration of China defines regular plateau airports as those at between 1,524 meters and 2,438 meters above sea level, while high plateau airports are more than 2,438 meters above.
Three domestic carriers already run the planes, Chengdu Airlines, Genghis Khan Airlines and Jiangxi Air. They have already transported 570,000 passengers between 36 cities, Guo said, adding that COMAC will begin delivering ARJ21s to China's big three airlines, China Eastern, Air China and China Southern, next year.
It hopes to delivery 10 of the jets in 2021, the same year it plans to start delivering its first large passenger jet, the C919, he continued. The C919 has already begun test flights.

NASA is preparing to replace the faulty seal linked to the hydrogen leak that led to the SLS’ second launch attempt on Saturday. Repairs will take place at the launch pad, which is ideal from a testing perspective, but NASA still needs to return the jumbo rocket to the assembly building to meet safety requirements.
Technicians will replace the seal on the quick disconnect, An interface connecting the liquid hydrogen fuel line on the mobile launcher to a core stage of the Space Launch System, according to a NASA briefing. statement. The teams will also check the sheet coverings on the other navel to rule out this Hydrogen leaks at those sites. “With seven main lines in the umbilical cord, each line may have multiple points of contact,” NASA explained.
NASA is attempting an unmanned mission to the moon and back, in preparation for a human landing on the moon later this decade. but dDuring the early stages of start trying On September 3, an unintended command briefly raised pressure within the system, potentially damaging some components. Caused by an uncontrollable hydrogen leak cleaning– Second in a week. the earliest The scrub, on Monday, August 29, also marred a hydrogen leak, although engineers managed to solve it. In the end, it was a file faulty sensor Convicted First try launch.
The unmanned SLS rocket remains in a secure configuration, standing tall on Launch Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA seeks to launch Artemis mission 1The rocket will send an unmanned Orion spacecraft on a flight Moon and back. The first launch period, which ran from August 23 to September 6, has ended, bringing work to a halt. The space agency must now prepare 322 feet (98 meters) for the third Artemis 1 missile launch attempt, the date of which has not yet been announced.
Technicians plan to create a temporary enclosure around the missile base to protect the instruments from Florida weather. The benefit of working directly on the pad is that engineers will be able to test the repair under extreme cooling conditions. During preparations for release, liquid hydrogen is pumped through the system at frigid temperatures of -423 degrees Fahrenheit (-253 degrees Celsius). This, in addition to the additional high pressure, has the effect of shrinkage and warping of the components, which can lead to unwanted and dangerous leaks, Especially about seals.
as a propellant, Hydrogen is effective but hard to control. Hydrogen leaks were a very frequent source of scrubs during the space shuttle era, and now the SLS, which is Likewise powered by a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygenHe appears to be experiencing the same technical difficulties.
Think Engineers Return SLS to nearby Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) for required repairs But she chose instead to work on the painting. The VAB would have provided a more controlled environment to operate in, but without the ability to replicate the cryogenic conditions desired for testing (tests must be performed inside the VAB at ambient temperatures). “Performing work on the panel also allows teams to collect as much data as possible to understand the cause of the problem,” NASA added.
SLS will likely revert to VAB, repaired or not repaired. Eastern Range, a branch of the US Space Force, requires periodic certification of the missile’s flight termination system. NASA has already received a waiver that extends the certification from 20 to 25 days, but it’s not clear if the space agency will request a second waiver, which would be irregular. The eastern range oversees launches from the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and works to ensure the safety of the public.
At a press conference on Saturday, Artemis mission manager Mike Sarafin said, “It’s not our decision – it’s Range’s decision.” He added that a waiver of range could keep the missile on the platform, “but this is unlikely.” So, under eastern range limitations, until we hear otherwise from NASA about the second assignment, the rocket Should Return to VAB before the next launch period.
A third launch attempt in late September or early October is still a remote possibility. The next period starts on September 19 and ends on October 4, with no chances of releasing on September 29 and 30. For this to work, NASA would have to complete the latest repairs, run tests, return the SLS to the VAB for re-certification (which includes a very short confidence test), and then return it to the launch pad. It is possible, but the ground teams will have to pull the stern to make it happen.
Failing that, the third launch period opens on October 17 and ends on October 31, with the exceptions of launches on October 24, 25, 26 and 28. There are two other periods, one in November and one in December, during the current calendar year.
There is still plenty of time to launch the SLS in 2022, but it all depends on how quickly the engineers get to grips with this complex system. The SLS is the most powerful rocket ever built by NASA and he A major component of the space agency Artemis programwhich seeks a sustainable and long-term human presence on and around the Moon.

Synthesis of a high-performance two-pulse-motor-propelled missile by simultaneous optimization of trajectory and propulsion systems in two operational scenarios is described. This work employed a quasiNewton parameter optimization scheme with penalty functions to meet terminal and path constraints. The trajectory control variables were parameterized using piecewise linear open-loop commands and piecewise constant linear feedback gains. The pulse motor parameters optimized were pulse split, average thrust levels, neutrality factors, pulse burn times, and the interpiilse delay. Optimization of the rocket motor thrust time curve in addition to the trajectory increased the range by up to 11% when compared with the trajectories optimized with originally specified rocket motor propulsion data.

HAL Tejas, the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) which is said to be an indigenous fighter has been inducted into the Indian Air Force. It has been the hard work of more than 30 years which has shaped Tejas and now its functional . Two of the single-engine multi-role fighter jets, pegged to be the world’s smallest and lightest supersonic fighter, were handed over to the Air Force. They will be stationed in Bengaluru, as part of the first Tejas squadron called ‘Flying Daggers’.
Still it cant be said 100% indigenous fighter aircraft as there are many main parts which are imported , eg the main part its heart the integral part , its GE engine.
Group Captain M Rangachari is going to be the first Commanding Officer of the Flying Daggers squadron.Initially, there would be seven officers and 42 air warriors and about 20 non-commissioned officers under him.
The Flying Daggers squadron will have the SP-1 and SP-2 versions of Tejas. The squadron is expected to reach full strength by 2018-2020. Six more Tejas fighters are expected to be inducted into the squadron by the end of the current financial year.
