Memorial Service for Alan Shepard August 1st.
News story originally written on July 30, 1998
A memorial service in honor of Alan Shepard is scheduled for August 1st in Houston, Texas. Shepard died Tuesday, July 21, at the age of 74.
"Alan Shepard is a true American hero, a pioneer, an
original. He was part of a courageous corps of astronauts that
allowed us to reach out into space and venture into the unknown,"
said George W.S. Abbey, Director of the Johnson Space Center,
Houston, TX. "Alan Shepard gave all of us the privilege to
participate in the beginnings of America's great adventure of
human space exploration."
Shepard was the first American to fly in space, on May 5, 1961 in the Freedom 7 Mercury capsule.
Shepard commanded the Apollo 14 mission to the moon. He was the fifth of only twelve Americans ever to walk on the moon. While he was there, he and astronaut Edgar Mitchell set up a science station, collected 92 pounds of rocks and gathered soil samples. Just before leaving the moon, Shepard hit two golf balls across the surface, which he said traveled "miles and miles and miles."
Only 4 of the original Mercury 7 astronauts are still alive:Sen. John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, L. Gordon Cooper and Walter Schirra.

Supersonic starlet uring the years following World War Two, the United States Air Force (USAF) realised that they had a large fleet of aircraft, many of which were redundant.
The emergence of gas-turbine technology made the piston engine obsolete and the application of the jet engine was the only option. Consequently, during the late 1940s the Air Research and Development Command (ARDC) at Wright- Patterson Air Force Base (AFB), Ohio, issued two Generalised Bomber Studies (GEBO I and GEBO II). It was GEBO II, issued in February 1949, that attracted several aircraft manufacturers and bids for the new bomber were submitted by Boeing, Convair, Curtiss, Douglas, Martin and North American Aviation. GEBO II was intended as a replacement for the, as yet un-flown, Boeing B-47 Stratojet. In fact, the B-47 was not replaced by the chosen new design which was later designated B-58. What the USAF wanted was a supersonic bomber that could carry the large and heavy atom bombs of the time over a range of 10,000 miles. In 1949, there were few aircraft capable of flying at supersonic speed for more than a few hundred miles. Engines were also a problem as, at the time, there was none that could power the proposed heavy aircraft. General- Electric had been experimenting with rocket motors and ramjets, or combination turbojet and rocket boosters for some time. They were also developing a new turbojet, the after-burning X-24A with variable incidence stator blades and this appeared to be the answer. Produced as the J79 turbojet it developed 15,600lb of thrust with the afterburners operational. This immediately gave the GEBO II programme the engine it needed.
At one stage, the USAF considered making the GEBO II a parasite aircraft to be carried aloft underneath a Convair B-36. Once at altitude it would be launched on its mission and re-attached for the return journey. Following initial discussions the design proposal was shown to be flawed and fraught with problems; it was not proceeded with. The Convair designers, under Robert Widmer, developed a series of proposals for GEBO II, which studied swept-wing, semi-delta and full delta planforms. An early concept drawing shows a full delta-winged twin-engined aircraft with each powerplant integrated into the wing. Two crew positions were specified and a jettisonable pod for weapons and fuel was designed to form an integral part of the lower fuselage. This idea was something that Widmer had nurtured from very early on in the design studies. If he had designed an aircraft with an internal bomb load it would have to be large, possibly the size of the B-36 and that would not be capable of supersonic flight with the engine technology of the time, so he developed the external and disposable pod to fit under the fuselage of the aircraft. Given the programme designation MX-1626, Convair had been considering the delta wingplan for some time and design studies led to the XF-92A fighter concept. This in turn fielded the delta-winged F-102 and F-106 fighters that later entered USAF service.
Convair was in an excellent position to address the request from the USAF, as independently Robert Widmer had started investigating the possibility of developing a supersonic bomber as early as 1947. Working for the Consol idated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (later Convair), Widmer was told to lay-off the supersonic bomber idea and to concentrate on current projects, such as the B-36, but in his own time he had worked on the supersonic bomber design. Later, Widmer would go on to work on the F-111 and F-16; he also developed the Tomahawk missile and worked on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for the military, some of which went into production and entered operational service.
Nuclear bombs of the time were not small; the standard 7,500lb Mk 15 device was nearly 12ft in length and had a diameter of 3ft. This meant the thin fuselage design proposed by Convair produced some engineering issues early on, as it prevented internal carriage of bombs and the required amount of fuel to power the four turbojet engines and allow for any reasonable operating radius to be achieved. As a result, the lower integral fuselage section that had appeared in early designs gave way to a large external droppable two-component pod which was designed to be attached to the underside of the fuselage. Convair redesigned the twin-jet bomber as a four-jet with the engines mounted side-by-side in two pods mounted flush under each delta wing. The separate jettisonable lower fuselage weapons/fuel pod was also featured. Another brochure drawing shows a four-engine delta wing concept with the inner engines carried on pylons under the wing and the outer engines mounted on top of the wing. The weapons-fuel pod had small wings and an inverted fin which would have deployed on release. Interestingly, Boeing’s submission for GEBO II was a four-engined B-47-influenced design with a high mounted swept-back wing carrying the podded engines in the manner of the Stratojet. It did not progress beyond the wind tunnel model stage.
By 1951 several design brochures had been submitted to the USAF for consideration and it looked like Boeing would be the front runner. However, their Model 484 was rejected as it only had an estimated top speed of Mach 1.3 and the USAF was looking for a Mach 2 bomber. Curtiss, Martin and North American Aviation all failed to impress with their designs and were dismissed early in the programme. Douglas proposed their twin-engined bomber, with the USAF programme MX-2091 label, but it failed to meet GEBO II on several levels, including its top speed which fell short of Mach One. Convair invested heavily in the programme and several full- and half-size models were built to study the crew positions, weapons pod and engine layout. Similar to the problems faced by Boeing when they were developing the B-47, Convair also experienced difficulties with the ideal positioning of the ^ engine pods in relation to ‘*щ windflow. Many months v were occupied with wind tunnel tests to get the design right. To smooth the fuselage, airflow canards were installed on one model and this was tried out but soon rejected. At this stage, engines were still mounted as twins in pods underneath the delta-wing. Engine pylon design and heights were varied, nacelle lengths were changed and powerplants altered. The one constant in the evolving aircraft was the delta-wing planform. From the earliest drawings this remained largely unaltered, as the design, models and mock-ups progressed.
The Convair MX-1626, now coded FZP-110, was still a two-crew, delta-wing design but with General Electric J53 engines specified and performance estimated at 1,000mph with a 3,000-mile range. Boeing and Convair were chosen to proceed with a Phase One study. However, as the months rolled by, the USAF requirements had altered and Boeing went out of the frame to concentrate on the B-52 Stratofortress while Convair submitted a developed MX-1626 as the MX-1964. This design still had the four engines flush-mounted, two each side-by-side under the wings. It also depicted a powered weapons pod but this was not proceeded with beyond exploratory drawings. Models of the various MX-1626 and MX-1964 designs were subjected to an evaluation programme by the USAF and hours of wind tunnel testing were carried out. The Air Force even looked at the possibility of making the bomber capable of carrying a parasite fighter, but this was soon dismissed.
In December 1952, the Air Force selected the MX-1964 for Weapons System 102 (WS102) as the winner of the design competition to meet the newly proposed SAB-51 (Supersonic Aircraft Bomber) and SAR-51 (Supersonic Aircraft Reconnaissance), the first General Operational Requirement (GOR) worldwide for supersonic bombers. In February 1953, the Air Force issued a contract for development of Convair’s design. By now the MX-1964 was looking more like the final design with four engines hanging under the wing on four separate pylons; the USAF had designated the design as the B-58 and stipulated the use of the new General Electric J79-GE-1 turbojet engine as standard. The delta-wing was given a leading-edge sweep of sixty degrees and Mach Two was guaranteed by Convair. Because it was designed to fly at twice the speed of sound, special consideration was given to supersonic aerodynam ics when designing the aircraft and the ‘Area Rule’ was applied. The Area Rule governs the basic shape of the aircraft and states (very approximately) that the cross sectional area should remain constant. This is most obvious in the thin ‘wasp waist’ of most high-performance aircraft fuselages where the wing is joined. On the B-58, the engine nacelles were factored in and this explains why the inboard engines project far out in front of the wing leading edge. The fuselage mounted pods, which were designed to carry additional fuel and (nuclear) weapons, were also designed using the Area Rule.
Design requirements for the weapons-fuel pod changed constantly and by the time the GOR was issued the pod had been made shorter and fitted snugly beneath the fuselage aft of the nosewheel development of Convair’s design.

Design requirements for the weapons-fuel pod changed constantly and by the time the GOR was issued the pod had been made shorter and fitted snugly beneath the fuselage aft of the nosewheel i = 1 . Contract for 13 aircraft, two (X)B-58s and eleven YB-58As, was issued in October 1954, with the first prototype to be ready for flight testing within two years.
Convair had experience with the delta wing fighters but these were small when compared with the (X) г B-58, so build structures were quite different. The B-58 was one of the first to make extensive use of aluminium honeycomb panels, which bonded inner and outer aluminium skins to honeycomb of aluminium and fibreglass. The stainless-steel honeycomb construction was new technology and the bonding of aluminium skins to the structure to cope with the heat generated at high speeds gave the design team a real challenge. An aircraft travelling at Mach 2 generates a tremendous amount of heat due to air friction.
The limiting skin temperature, according to the Convair manual, is 115°C but in exceptional circumstances the B-58 could accept a temperature of 125°C. Skin temperature gauges monitored the vital temperature tolerances.
Because of the construction of the wings, the higher temperatures could cause the skins to unbind and keeping a close eye on the gauges was most important. Additionally, because of the heat generated at Mach 2 cruise, not only the crew compartment, but the wheel wells and electronics bay were pressurised and air conditioned.

|Abstract: ||The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) and companion instrument, the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) on the NASA Earth Observing System Aqua spacecraft are facility instruments designed to support measurements of atmospheric temperature, water vapor and a wide range of atmospheric constituents in support of weather forecasting and scientific research in climate and atmospheric chemistry. This paper is an update to the science highlights from a paper by the authors released last year and also looks back at the lessons learned and future needs of the scientific community. These lessons not only include requirements on the measurements, but scientific shortfalls as well. Results from the NASA Science Community Workshop in IR and MW Sounders relating to AIRS and AMSU requirements and concerns are covered and reflect much of what has been learned and what is needed for future atmospheric sounding from Low Earth Orbit.|

Security Service of Ukraine has undeniable proof of the Boeing-777 plane being shot down with a surface-to-air missile complex BUK-M transferred with crew from Ukraine to Russia. Vitaliy Nayda, SBU department head, told these at a briefing in the crisis media center.
“SBU is conducting investigation and getting undeniable proof of Russian citizens being involved in the terrorist act”, Naida said. He claimed the proof has been conveyed to all international partners of the Security Service. SBU is working directly with Dutch police and law enforcement of other countries the citizens of which fell victim to the July 17 terrorist act.
Two headlines by Russian news agency ITAR-TASS before and after the terrorist act. The headline on the left reads “DNR militia seizes air defense unit with BUK surface-to-air missile complexes”. The headline on the right reads: “LNR press-service: the militia in Eastern Ukraine doesn’t have BUK anti-air complexes”.
The SBU representative showed journalists a photo of the BUK-M launch vehicle on a street of Torez town and also a photo of a convoy with the launch vehicle moving through Donetsk oblast.

Apart from that, a photo has been published taken during the launch of a rocket in the vicinity of Torez near the settlement of Snizhne which shows a vapor trail of the rocket that shot down the Boeing-777 carrying civilians. Vitalyi Naida noted that the Security Service has precisely identified the launch site which is situated in the region controlled by terrorists and Russian military personnel.
The moment of the rocket launch around Snizhne. Photo taken around Kommunariv lane in the town of Torez. In the forefront there’s Telmana street, in the background there is a cableway from the mine named after Lutugin.
The SBU representative also told that the Russian side ordered the terrorists to withdraw all BUK-M launch vehicles from Ukraine.
Around 2 AM on July 18 two tow trucks each carrying a BUK-M launch vehicle crossed the Russian border in Luhansk oblast. Around 4 AM of the same day 3 other tow trucks crossed the border – one empty, another carrying a launch vehicle with four rockets and the last carrying a military vehicle, apparently a control module.

The students will investigate the effect of the rocket length upon the distance of flight. The students will also investigate the mass upon the distance flight. Background
The students will proof Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton's third law also applies to rockets. A rocket gets its lift from the gases pushing out of its tail. The force of the rocket pushing on these gases is the action force. The gases exert an equal but opposite force on the rocket, which forces the rocket up, this is called the reaction force. According to the original guide sheet, the two items NASA will be evaluating the rocket on will be distance flown and time aloft. A two liter bottle with a cone and fins. The time is measured by seconds that the bottle flays, starting when it lives from the launch pad until it rites the ground. The distance is how far it flew. The motion will be projectile. The average velocity will be the total distance of rocket sting measured. The average speed will be the total distance of rocket flight measured in meters and total amount of time aloft measured in seconds. The altitude will be measured by an altimeter. The acceleration will speed up and change direction. The force can be the gravity. The kinetic energy will be the mass and velocity. The potential energy on the launch pad. Newton's first law is about the state of motion of an object does not charge as long as the net force acting on the object is zero. His second law is about the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by the object's mass. Newton's third law is whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object. The momentum is mass × velocity. The kinetic energy is the mass × velocity. Momentum is a property of any moving object. For a slow moving object it is given by the mass times the velocity of the object. For an object moving at close to the speed of light this definition gets modified. The total momentum is a conserved quantity in any process. Weight is the vertical force exerted by a mass as a result of gravity. Mass is the property of a body that causes it to have weight in a gravitational field. The centripetal acceleration considers an object moving in a circle of radius r with constant angular velocity. The tangential speed is constant, but the direction of the tangential velocity vector changes as the object rotates. Average speed is if you were to plot an object's position versus time, slope of that graph would be the object's speed. The average speed over some interval is given by the change in position divided by the change in time. This is different from the instantaneous speed, which is simply the position at a single point divided by the time it took to arrive at that position average. Average velocity is the total displacement divided by elapsed time. Average acceleration is the ratio of change in velocity over time elapsed. The kinetic energy is the energy of motion; the energy an object has as result of its motion.
One hypothesis of the soda rocket experiment is if the mass of rocket is heavier it should fly for less time. The second hypothesis is if the length is longer it can fly for a longer time.
Independent and Dependent variables
The independent variables are the mass and length of rocket. The dependent variable is the time aloft.
The materials used to construct the rocket are
>A two liter soda bottle
>Paper (for the fins and cone)
The materials to measure the rocket are
The materials used in the launch day are
>Metric measure tape
>A bottle rocket launcher
The procedure to construct the rocket is
1. Cut the top from one of the bottles and connect together with the second. 2. Do a paper cone to put on the top of the rocket. 3. Put duct tape all the way around the rocket.
4. Do the fins and glue them with duct tape in the borrow. 5. Decorate.
The procedure to the Data collection is
6. Make the measurements from your rocket. Length (cm), width from side to side, and Mass (g) 7. Put the exactly milliliters of water.
8. Put in the soda rocket launcher.
9. Measure the time with the timer; beginning when is launched until it rites the ground.
The procedure from the launch day
10. Find the distance with the metric measurement tape. 11. Finish your data table lab report.
Your rocket should look like with this:
The correction for mass vs. distance flown is -.0208, which means the relationship between mass and distance is weak. The mass has little effect on distance flown. The relationship is negative or indirect.

- There are a few ways to build a shuttle train.
- One way is to use a self-propelled railway system.
- Another way is to use an air-purifying locomotive.
How I Build A TRANSPORT SHUTTLE (space engineers) Design A star ship #011
There is no one definitive answer to this question. However, some methods for making trains in space include using a 3D printer, using a laser cutter, or using a CNC machine.
There is no tram in space engineers.
There is no one definitive answer to this question. However, some common techniques include using a variety of materials and tools, as well as using a variety of methods to create stable and efficient spacecraft.
There is no known way to build a space elevator in space.
Space engineers are responsible for designing and implementing space-based systems and technologies, including those that provide critical infrastructure, support human activities, or maintain international space treaties.
There is no PVP in space engineers.
Yes, space engineers can be played offline. However, the game will require a connection to play.
No, the ships you build in space are not meant to be used in space.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the process of building a spacecraft in space will vary depending on the specific requirements and goals of the individual. However, some tips on how to build a spacecraft in space include using a design kit or model kit, studying engineering principles and concepts, and using online resources to help with the project.
There are many ways to build a spaceship. Some people use traditional construction techniques, while others use more advanced methods. Ultimately, the most important thing is to find the right way to build it and to make sure that it works correctly.
There is no current plan for building a skyhook, as the technology is still in its early stages.
The problem with building a tower to space is that it would be very expensive and require a lot of resources.
Space elevator is not a reality yet, but it is an idea that has been around for many years.
The space elevator is a type of transportation system where passengers and cargo are transported between the lower and upper levels of space using rockets and cables. The first space elevator was completed in 2002.
Space Engineers made a lot of money.
There is no evidence that planets spin Space Engineers.

The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM), operating in space since the launch of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope on June 11, 2008, has already detected more than 300 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), many soft gamma-ray repeater bursts and several terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.
Fermi's main instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) observed 10 GRBs at energies > 100 MeV. GBM provided the low-energy context measurements with high time resolution, therefore significantly augmenting the science return. By using the GBM onboard computed locations, the spacecraft was re-orientated in three cases, allowing the observation of delayed emission from LAT detected bright burst.
In my talk I will present the instrument hardware, data system, performance and operation, the on-orbit performance and first year science results.

Gaining perspective on climate change with NASA summer program
Srija Chakraborty, a computer engineering doctoral student in the Fulton Schools, was selected to participate in the summer program at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Center for Climate Sciences hosted by Keck Institute for Space Studies, Caltech and JPL.
Chakraborty was one of 24 students who attended the program, each of which are conducting research related to satellite observations. Her research interest lies in developing improved machine learning and signal processing algorithms for remote sensing data analysis.
“I study data collected by satellites and try to improve the algorithms to analyze them,” Chakraborty says. “I have had a very strong interest in space exploration since childhood. Since I have a background in computer science, I took up a remote sensing course to see how computers can be leveraged in Earth and space exploration and I enjoyed the course immensely and I decided to pursue my research in it.”
In the program, the students had a packed schedule with lectures followed by interactive sessions. They then each presented their own research and had a group project they worked on throughout the week and presented their results on the final day.
“The lectures ranged from very broad science and engineering topics to the kind of projects JPL and NASA are involved in,” Chakraborty says. “We not only learned how challenging Earth and space science research is, but also about some of the future missions and their objectives. It was very evident that our planet faces immense risk posed by climate change and uncertainty arising from what exactly we are heading towards and how quickly, even with the vast number of satellites and ground based observations and models, so there needs to a significant effort in improving the way we analyze the data.”
“We also had a JPL tour where we visited the labs and mission control areas and that was a very special experience,” says Chakraborty. “There were groups at JPL whose research interests are similar to mine and it was enriching to learn about the approaches that they take which along with the science lectures could help in my research. I also had the pleasure to interact with a scientist working on an upcoming asteroid mission which is very interesting and novel in its own way.”
The planet is collectively facing enormous challenges due to climate change and researchers such as Chakraborty are using satellite observations to improve our understanding of what is actually happening and what we are heading towards.
“Right now we have more data than what we can understand or forecast correctly and I would like to study ways to analyze and handle such data from satellites in an integrated manner,” Chakraborty says. “As of now, we do not have a high variety and volume of data from other planets in our solar system as well as exoplanets. I hope that future missions would fill in this data void and I hope to contribute to the analysis and understanding of such environments for supporting deep space missions.”

It’s hard to believe a year has already gone by. But today marks the first anniversary of the first delivery of our 747-8 Intercontinental. The airplane, a BBJ version of the 747-8, went to a VIP customer.
The first 747-8I ever delivered took off one year ago today.
Since then, we’ve delivered a dozen Intercontinentals to commercial and VIP customers. Lufthansa was the first commercial customer to receive the airplane.
Here’s the first Intercontinental delivered to an airline customer, Lufthansa.
The fleet has been performing well in service, and passengers really love it. Travel expert Stefanie Michaels, better known as Adventure Girl, says “flying in the upper deck has a very private feel, almost like you’re in your own airplane.”
As for that very first 747-8I delivery, the airplane is currently at a completion center in Europe getting its VIP interior installed. Since none of us will probably ever get a chance to go inside, I thought you’d like to see what a typical BBJ interior could look like.
Depending on the customer, it can include a master suite with a king-sized bed and bathroom, a kitchen, dining area and lounge.
Congratulations to the entire 747-8 team in Everett on this special VIP anniversary.

Air Defence Exercise titled 'ADEX-2020-2’ of Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) was held in Dhaka, Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Moulvibazar, Tangail and Bogura districts on Sunday.
The aim of this exercise is to assess and evaluate the efficiency and capability of BAF Air Defence and identify the weaknesses and draw lessons for further improvement in air defence system.
As a part of the exercise, the pilots of the BAF practiced different air combat maneuvers and tactics including attack and interception by the fighter aircraft, surveillance from the air to the enemy attacking area, protecting Air Bases, transporting weapons and special operations, says a press release of Inter Service Public Relation (ISPR).
All types of BAF fighter aircraft, transport aircraft, radar squadrons and air defence missile units participated in the exercise. Operational activities were conducted in the extended boundaries of the Air Defense Identification Zone for the first time through this exercise.
The exercise will help to identify the limitations and draw appropriate lessons for improvement in future. The participation of all manpower and material of BAF in this exercise will also be more effective in strengthening air defence capability of Bangladesh.
It is mentionable that, Bangladesh Navy (BN) also participated in the exercise in limited scale to make the exercise more effective and realistic.

More than 30 Ryanair passengers were hurt after one of its aircraft lost pressure in mid-air.
German police said 33 of 189 passengers were admitted to hospital, some bleeding from their ears, after a flight from Dublin to Zadar in Croatia had to make an emergency landing in Frankfurt Hahn airport on Saturday.
The aircraft reportedly descended 26,000ft in seven minutes.
It is standard procedure in the event of in-flight depressurisation to descend rapidly to an altitude at which passengers and crew can breathe unassisted.
The airline said oxygen masks were deployed and the crew carried out a “controlled descent”.
Passengers also criticised their treatment once they had landed, saying they had not been given enough food and drink and had been forced to sleep on a concrete basement floor or on camp beds.
Ryanair said: “The aircraft landed normally and customers disembarked, where a small number received medical attention as a precaution.
“Customers were provided with refreshment vouchers and hotel accommodation was authorised, however there was a shortage of available accommodation.”

HONOLULU (AP)–A Hawaiian Airlines flight from Honolulu to Sydney hit severe turbulence, leading to medical care for at least seven people on board.
The plane was carrying 163 passengers and 12 crew members when it encountered turbulence five hours into Thursday’s flight, officials told Hawaii News Now. The aircraft was inspected after landing safely in Sydney.
Four passengers and three flight attendants needed medical attention from a doctor who was on the flight, the Honolulu television station reported.
Airline representatives didn’t immediately return emails Monday seeking an update.
“The plane just dropped,” passenger Sultan Baskonyali told ABC News. “We weren’t prepared.”
She described one man shooting upward, hitting his head on the ceiling and dropping back down.
Last year, severe turbulence injured 25 people on board a Hawaiian Airlines flight. Four passengers and two crew members were seriously hurt. The plane sustained minor damage.
The captain of the Dec. 18 flight from Phoenix to Honolulu told investigators that conditions were smooth with clear skies when a cloud shot up in front of the plane, and that there was no time to change course, according to a report by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Hawaiian Airlines Chief Operating Officer Jon Snook said at the time that such turbulence is unusual, noting that the airline had not experienced anything like it in recent history. The sign to fasten seat belts was on at the time, though some of the people injured were not wearing them, he said.
It happened about 40 minutes before landing in Honolulu, according to the NTSB report.

When India launches its latest weather satellite on Saturday, it will be using a rocket that has been dubbed the “naughty boy” of the Indian space agency.
The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), which is scheduled to lift off with the INSAT-3DS satellite from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh at 5.35 pm on Saturday, was called “naughty boy” by a former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) since the rocket has not performed adequately in six of its 15 flights – a failure rate of 40 per cent.
The last launch of the GSLV, on May 29, 2023, was successful but the one before that – on August 12, 2021 – was a failure.
In comparison, the GSLV’s heavier cousin, the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 or the ‘Bahubali rocket’, has completed seven flights and has a cent-percent success record. The workhorse rocket of ISRO, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), also has an enviable 95 per cent success rate, with just three failures in 60 launches.
The GSLV is a three-stage rocket that is 51.7 metres long – about a quarter of the length of the Statue of Unity, which stands 182 metres tall – and has a liftoff mass of 420 tonnes. The rocket uses an India-made cryogenic engine and ISRO plans to retire it after a few more launches.
The satellite being launched on Saturday is very special and is much needed as it will help boost India’s weather and climate monitoring services. Called INSAT-3DS, it is a third-generation upgraded, dedicated meteorological satellite.
The satellite weighs 2,274 kg and has been built at a cost of about ₹ 480 crore. It is fully funded by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, said ISRO.

India's National Airliner- Air India's disinvestment process has been on the radar for some time as the debt-laden has no bidders to put their neck into the infamous national carrier. Mr.Suresh Prabhu, Civil Aviation Minister said that the future of Air India will be decided by the group of Ministers, other options would be discussed by the AISAM- Air India Specific Alternative Mechanism headed by Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.
The soaring issue is that the airlines have come to a naught by incurring the loss of Rs 48,876.81 crores in March 2017. On the other hand, the service compared to other airlines decline over the period, forcing the Indian Government to go for a disinvestment.
Soon the group of ministers would decide the fate of Air India.

Hunting Percival P.56 Provost T.1 WW421
The prototype Provost first flew on 24 February 1950, with an initial order for 200 placed by the RAF twelve months later. First deliveries were made in the summer of 1953 and production for the RAF continued until the spring of 1956. Intended as a side by side two seat trainer, the Provost could carry underwing guns or light bombs for armament training purposes. This version was sold to a number of overseas air forces, including Burma, Malaya, Southern Rhodesia and Sudan. 397 Provosts were built for the RAF, plus another sixty for overseas air forces.
The Provost was introduced into RAF service at the same time as the Vampire jet powered advance trainer. The two aircraft introduced a new advance training scheme for potential RAF pilots. First deliveries of Provosts were made to CFS South Cerney in 1953, followed by No. 6 FTS at Ternhill in October. The Provost was a much abler aircraft than its Prentice predecessor, enabling trainee pilots to move almost effortlessly to the Vampire. However its service life with the RAF was shorter that anticipated, due to the development by Hunting Percival of the Jet Provost. Based on the airframe of the Provost, but with piston engine replaced by a jet, the Jet Provost first flew in June 1954 - not long after the Provost had entered service. Trials with early Jet Provosts led to a major RAF order, with the type entering service in June 1959. This resulted in many Provosts being taken out of service during the summer of 1960, with a number then sold abroad.
The Provost served with seven RAF Flying Training Schools, as well as the Central Flying School and the RAF College Cranwell. For the 1957 season the CFS mounted a four aircraft display team - the Sparrows. Most of the FTS's also had their own display teams.
WW421 was built by Hunting Percival at Luton and was delivered to the RAF in November 1954. It was issued to No.3 FTS at Feltwell where it spent its service life until the School closed in May 1958. After a period of storage WW421 became a ground instructional airframe (serial 7688M) with No.4 SofTT at St Athan in October 1960. Surplus to requirements, WW421 was taken on by a museum at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire by the early 1970's. During the next thirty years the aircraft moved to various locations, even being placed on the civil register as G-BZRE in 2001 in an optimistic plan to make the Provost airworthy again. Delivered by road to the Bournemouth Aviation Museum in October 2005, restoration by the volunteers has revealed that the airframe is made up of the wings of WW421 along with the fuselage of WW450.

JOINT BASE LEWIS-MCCHORD, Wash. --
Medical Air Force Reservists assigned to the 446th Aeromedical Staging Squadron hosted a medical readiness training exercise Aug. 9-22 here.
Pacific Caduceus is a multi-service exercise designed to certify nurses and medical technicians in trauma care.
"The intention of planning this tri-service exercise was to be able to meet training and readiness requirements and goals of the Air Force while making it as realistic as possible," said Capt. Jennifer Lopez, the lead exercise planner assigned to the ASTS. "Training with sister services allow us to leverage each other's assets, help promote intra-service cohesion, build morale, and reduce overall expenses."
"Our goal for the future is to continue to grow and improve interoperability to achieve common objectives as one."
In addition to the ASTS, other Air Force Reserve medical units from the 446th Airlift Wing, to include 446th Aerospace Medicine Squadron and 446th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, participated in the exercise.
Participating Army units included the 7451 Medical Operations Readiness Unit, 7252 Medical Support Unit, and the 7407 Troop Medical Clinic. Trainers from the Naval Medical Forces Support Command in San Antonio, Texas, also participated along with Navy Medicine Reserve Training Command in Camp Pendleton, California.
The exercise supports the mission of military medicine by providing operational readiness training and health service support in a joint environment, which is critical in a wartime setting.
The ASTS is a fully capable unit that rapidly deploys resources for mental health triage and traumatic stress management, critical care expertise on aeromedical evacuation missions as well as environmental and disease assessments.

We interrupt this program, off season …
While America is in political tumult, something amazing just happened. We watched Monday efficient, effective, and smiling Russians help a Russian, an American, and a Canadian out of a space capsule of most ancient design, returning them from the International Space Station (ISS) to Earth after well-over a hundred days in space.
Commander Chris Hadfield of Canada recorded two songs during his journey. The first is his own original, and ought to become a new Christmas Carol. ‘Twas his gift to the world from space for Christmas day, with no apologies.
The day before he left the ISS, he recorded a “cover” (from David Bowie) … and I’m amazed that his son posted the final version only hours after the landing we watched: Space Oddity.
You can see on his face the dream of space. ‘Tis a dream we’ve oft forgot. NASA is costly, and few in America seem to care anymore. But I grew up in an America inspired by Heinlein and Asimov. I watched Neil Armstrong live, in black and white.
Remember the dream.

|22 August 2000||TF-104G-M||MM54558/4-46||4St/20gr||AMI||written off||pilots ok|
|t about 11:15 local time that day this Starfighter of 20°Gr (4°Wing) based at Grosseto performed a controlled crash into the sea, along the coast along Marina di Alberese, near Grosseto. The two pilots (Capt. Marco Amort, teacher, and S.Ten. Antonio Di Matteo) ejected safely. At the time of the crash there was one AB212 helicopter of the local 604°Sq. (SAR duty) was nearby. After a touch and go on Grosseto Air Base the landing gear was found seriously damaged (maybe due to a malfunction or due to a too hard landing). It was impossible to make a secure landing and it was decided to eject from the aircraft over sea after running out of fuel. Cap. Amort was recovered by a private ship and returned via a boat of the civil fireman command of Grosseto. Pilot Di Matteo was recovered directly by the AB212 helicopter.
The recovery of the aircraft from the sea to investigate the exact cause of the landinggear problems started on August 29th. It was found at 17 meters with fuselage reasonably intact, a broken wing and some other damages. It was recovered by a civil organisation with some priority due to the location of the Starfighter (near the end of river Ombrone). Beneath a photo taken at Villafranca October 15th, 1998 showing this TF-104G-M (Rene Kolle).

|Operated by 37 Stormo, 18 Gruppo at Trapani-Birgi AB, this aircraft crashed at 14:42 hrs (local time) near Castelvetrano Sicilia, some 20km East of Mazara del Vallo. The F-104 was part of a 4-ship formation flying from Trapani, when the engine malfunctioned. After T.Col. Francesco Tinagli (37) ejected safely, this 104 came down near Castelvetrano at Sicilia. One civilion (Mr. Angelo Calderone, 72 years) on the ground was sadly killed by debris. Beneath a photo showing this F-104 during the TLP exercise at Florennes. This photo was taken June 23rd, 2000, almost 4 months before it was lost.|

Hi, I’m not sure if this has been asked on this forum but my question is that there is a lot of drone clubs around the world and they get together and fly drones for fun, take aerial photography in different locations. Does a club like this exist in South Africa and if not do you think it is a good idea to create one?

The hush that fell over the city of Gainesville as Kelly Chandler took to the skies for his Certified Flight Instructor checkride soon gave way to cheering, whistling and standing ovations!
The Certified Flight Instructor certificate is one of the hardest tickets to earn in aviation. Only through hard work, dedication and persistence can one become a CFI and flight Instructor Derek Metro could not be more proud of Kelly’s achievement.
Kelly has been an integral part of Lanier Flight Center for years, earning his Private, Instrument and Commercial ratings thru the Cessna Pilot Center courses at Lanier Flight Center. Kelly’s dynamic personality and dedication will make a fantastic flight instructor and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a nicer, more helpful and likable guy. Congratulations to Kelly for a great job well done.
Kelly is shown here with Bob Howell, FAA Designated Pilot Examiner and Derek Metro, CFI.

Sacramento's contribution to man's lunar landing, July 20, 1969
July 20, 2014, the 45th anniversary of man landing on the moon, is a good time to remember the Sacramento-area's contribution to the historic event. Douglas Aircraft Inc. in Rancho Cordova tested the Saturn S-IVB rocket used for Stage 3 of the lunar expedition. Stage 3 was the re-firing of the rocket to send the Apollo 11 astronauts toward the moon. These photos show the rockets coming up the Sacramento River on a barge (they were manufactured in Southern California) and off-loaded onto trucks for the back road journey to the Douglas plant. (Photo gallery created July 18, 2014)

Investigation and evaluation of hot deep drawing parameters to manufacture titanium sheet metal parts for high temperature applicationsFriday (10.11.2017) 10:55 - 11:15 Part of:
Sheet metal parts of titanium and its alloys are appreciated in many industrial sectors because of their beneficial properties regarding weight, strength and oxidation resistance. Depending on the type of alloy and the part geometry there are different forming procedures from cold forming of commercially pure titanium with subsequent separate annealing up to superplastic forming with integrated annealing. Hot deep drawing (HDD) is an innovative promising compromise to save cost by saving production time and to reduce the expenses for surface treatment. Parts made by HDD provide a high accuracy and constant wall thickness suitable for automated industrial assembly processes as required for high temperature applications such as exhaust systems in aircraft or automotive.
Consequently, typical peculiarities of titanium like anisotropic forming behavior, springback after forming and distinct surface oxidation at elevated temperatures have to be considered during HDD regarding the follow-up processes.
In order to figure out the applicability of the HDD process to further titanium alloys different titanium sheet alloys were selected and investigated by utilizing a hot-form simulator of type Gleeble 3500. Parameters such as forming temperature and forming speed as well as holding time during creep relaxation have been varied and subsequently analyzed and evaluated regarding their effect on the forming behavior, but also on the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties. The results are used to derive a material model that enables after implementation into a commercial finite element tool the forming simulation under HDD conditions.
In this paper the first results will be presented and discussed.

In our review of different careers, we take a look at how to become an air traffic controller. We also look at what it is that an air traffic controller does, and what skills and attributes you need to become an air traffic controller.
What Does an Air Traffic Controller Do?
An air traffic controllers job is to help pilots take off and land safely and also ensure that pilots flying around the United Kingdom are kept a safe distance apart. This is achieved using sophisticated communication technology and advanced radar systems.
As an air traffic controller, you will work in one of three roles. An area controller ensures that pilots are guided safely through your specific sector. As an area controller, you will have a specific region of air space that you will look after. An approach controller manages aircrafts that are approaching the airport to land, and you will ensure that you land each plane safely and in a correct landing order. The third and final job role is as an aerodrome controller where you will work from a control tower giving instructions to pilots as they descend.
You might also work on ground control duties, directing aircraft on the runway before take off and after landing. You will also need to respond to emergency distress calls and guide pilots who have lost their way in bad weather.
As an air traffic controller, you will typically work forty hours a week in shifts that cover twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Is Becoming an Air Traffic Controller Right For Me?
To become an air traffic controller you will need to possess the following skills and attributes:
- The ability to concentrate for long periods
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to give very precise and clear instructions
- The ability to check information quickly and accurately
- Confidence in work with technology
- Excellent maths skills and a good spacial awareness
- Excellent teamwork skills
- A flexible approach to work
- Great problem-solving skills
How Much Can an Air Traffic Controller Earn?
An air traffic controller you will earn approximately £12,000 a year when training and once posted to your first unit this will increase to anywhere between £17,000 and £21,000. Once you are completely qualified earnings will rise to between £32,000 and £36,000 and can rise up to £50,000 a year with experience.
What Qualifications Do I Need To Become an Air Traffic Controller?
You need an air traffic control license which you can gain by taking an approved training course. To take the course you will need to over 18 and have five GCSE's grade A-C.

A booster rocket was a rocket used to provide added boost when a spacecraft was launched from a planet's surface.
Late-20th and early-21st century space shuttles used booster rockets to help them reach orbit. According to Shaun Christopher, every astronaut was relieved when the booster rockets, which he compared to Roman candles, fell off of the space shuttle. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time)
Booster rockets were also equipped on levitation boots in the late 23rd century. James T. Kirk instructed Spock to use the booster rockets in order to escape from Hikaru Sulu and members of the Galactic Army of Light in Turbo shaft 3. (ST movie, novelization & comic adaptation: The Final Frontier)

Aug 25, 2010 8:29 AM by Bea Karnes, News First 5
Federal investigators say the plane carrying former U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens had its emergency beacon separate from its mounting bracket when the aircraft crashed into a remote southwest Alaska mountainside earlier this month.
The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report on the Aug. 9 crash also says that the antenna cable also was found separated from the locator beacon. The report was released late Tuesday.
Stevens and four others died in the accident, while four people, including former NASA chief Sean O'Keefe, were injured.
Authorities have said that no transmitter signal was detected during an aerial search.
The medical examiner has said it's unlikely a quicker response would have mattered, since the crash's victims injuries were "severe and fatal."

Captain Lauri Mäkinen is the Air Force's Hornet display pilot in the centennial year 2018
His skilful and exhilarating Hornet solo flight is among the gems of the air show programme. This year's Hornet display pilot is Captain Lauri Mäkinen of Karelia Air Command. Acting as his deputy is Captain Arto Ukskoski of Lapland Air Command.
Captain Lauri Mäkinen of the Finnish Air Force (FINAF) serves in Fighter Squadron 31 of Karelia Air Command as 2nd Flight Commander and instructor pilot. The 35-year-old Pirkkala native began his military career at the former Training Air Wing in Kauhava. Prior to his military service, aviation was not his main interest, as he had designs to become a professional ice hockey player. Although his grandfather had been a civilian pilot and an aerial photographer, Mäkinen only began to contemplate a career in military aviation in the context of his conscription.
"Someone suggested to me that I should apply to elementary flight training in Kauhava. While on the course, I was duly bitten by the flying bug, and the rest is history."
In 2008 he began serving at Satakunta Air Command, close to home. Some four years ago, a transfer took him to Rissala where he remains stationed. For him to become a Hornet display pilot was a coincidence.
"Inquiries were made to our age group of pilots regarding the willingness to do it, and naturally I volunteered. When they eventually chose me, I was eager to get on board."
Last year Mäkinen acted as deputy for the 2017 Hornet display pilot, Captain Tapio Yli-Nisula. The role provided him with a good foundation for familiarising with the display pilot's job in depth; a most useful opportunity, in view of the considerable differences between display flying and normal flying.
"It is an art form in its own right: you push your Hornet to the extreme and approach the very limits of its capability whilst flying at low altitude."
For Mäkinen, the anniversary year is paced by a number of aviation events around Finland. The next opportunity to see the pilot showcase his skills will be at the Sotilasilmailusta ammatti (Careers in Military Aviation) event at Satakunta Air Command in Pirkkala on 15 May. He will also thrill international crowds with his deft display, for example at the Royal International Air Tattoo taking place in the UK between 14 and 16 July.
His Hornet solo flight features 17 manoeuvres with a focus on spectator experience – the idea is to get close to the audience whilst making the moves. Planning his own solo performance is a most fascinating proposition for Mäkinen.
"Within certain constraints, you can make your solo flight to be exactly what you want, also as a means of self-fulfilment."
The pilot – who's very much at home in the sky – particularly enjoys steep flight paths.
"The flight manoeuvres I enjoy the most are those where the aircraft's nose is pointing either straight up or straight down. That is when you feel alive."
2018 marks out another milestone for Mäkinen: it was exactly ten years ago in early April when he took to the skies in a Hornet for the first time. Mäkinen embraces FINAF's centenary year with delight.
"The fact that we're celebrating the service's centennial gives this display season a little extra boost, the highlight obviously being the 100th anniversary air show. I do hope a good turnout for it, as you always enjoy flying that much more before a large crowd," Mäkinen concludes.

Amazing photo: the HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took one of the best space pictures of the decade – Curiosity descending to Mars, using its parachutes.
As you can see, the rover is safely descending inside its backshell, suspended from its huge parachute; the picture was taken just as the rover was deccelerating from thousands of kilometers per hour to just hundreds. After this moment, Curiosity’s rockets did their job and slower the descent even further.
Again, I just have to admire the skillful calculations, precise engineering, creative planning and perfect timing that went behind the entire Curiosity project. But just take a minute and contemplate the sheer awesomeness of the picture: here we have a photo taken by a camera that’s been orbiting Mars for six years, during which it has been reset and reprogrammed by programmers millions of kilometers away using math and science pioneered centuries ago, just so that it could take a picture of another machine engineers have sent to the Red Planet, traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers just so that it can parachute and land on Mars seven minutes later – and Curiosity’s mission is just now starting.
Also, about the recent wave of negative comments surrounding the mission, I’d like to share with you this remarkable insight published on Discovery:
The news these days is filled with polarization, with hate, with fear, with ignorance. But while these feelings are a part of us, and always will be, they neither dominate nor define us. Not if we don’t let them. When we reach, when we explore, when we’re curious – that’s when we’re at our best. We can learn about the world around us, the Universe around us. It doesn’t divide us, or separate us, or create artificial and wholly made-up barriers between us. As we saw on Twitter, at New York Times Square where hundreds of people watched the landing live, and all over the world: science and exploration bind us together. Science makes the world a better place, and it makes us better people.

What will aerospace vehicles look like in the future? And how can we ensure these new vehicles meet social and economic needs? New research, such as the one on hydrogen-powered planes, is looking into how to make aircraft more sustainable. But there are also much less visible developments crucial to sustainable aviation development, for instance, in high-capacity wiring for electrical aircraft or lightweight thermoplastic materials.
The Netherlands Aerospace Center (NLR) plays a vital role in conducting research and turning knowledge into value. NLR does this through nine strategic programs. For the series “The Aviation of the Future,” Innovation Origins speaks with all programme leaders.
For the third episode, we spoke with Johan Kos (programme leader Development of air and space vehicles) about the impact of aviation on society and the environment.
What does the knowledge programme involve?
“Through this programme, we are helping the development of aerospace vehicles for both civil and military applications. If you look at civil aviation, there are major challenges relating to climate impact. We’re using this programme to try to help, creating lighter structures by using lighter materials, with more sustainable propulsion and the associated system innovations. It’s important for us that Dutch industry – and in due course its clients – can physically implement the solutions.”
“The good thing about working programmatically is that cooperation with other parties, such as companies, is genuinely part of the development process. We’re working towards a common goal and that leads to better results.”
About the programme leader
Johan Kos is a principal R&D engineer and the programme leader of the Aerospace Vehicle Development programme. He obtained his PhD in mathematics and first came into contact with the field of aerospace through NLR.
“I think everything that’s happening in this area is very interesting. Making aviation more sustainable while at the same time meeting global air transport needs is a major challenge for Dutch manufacturing industry.”
Could you give an example of the projects you’re working on?
“In current aircraft for short to medium distance, the fuselage is made of aluminium. We’re now investigating whether it’s possible to make the hull out of carbon fibre-reinforced thermoplastic, a composite material. This can be recycled more easily than aluminium and this new material could make the fuselage up to ten per cent lighter. The intention is that this material will be used in new Airbus aircraft.”
“We recreated part of the lower half of a hull from thermoplastic, including integrating some of the systems. One advantage of thermoplastics is that they can be joined together relatively easily by welding. You don’t need coupling pieces or components made from other materials. Part of the research therefore focuses on finding the best welding techniques. The properties of thermoplastic compounds make them suitable for modular construction: pieces of the fuselage equipped with systems and interior parts can be assembled in a factory and then joined together in the final assembly. That lets you work much more easily and efficiently because you don’t get in each other’s way at the final assembly.”
“Within the STUNNING consortium, we’re working on the lower half of the hull, up to the level of the passenger cabin floor. Several European companies are involved in this consortium, including NLR, Delft University of Technology and SAM|XL, all led by GKN Fokker. It’s part of Clean Sky 2, a European cooperative programme. The upper half of the hull has also already been made through the same programme. We’re now working on connecting the upper and lower halves.”
“Within the consortium, NLR was responsible for developing the aircraft’s skin, the outer layer that goes around the hull. The skin is only a few millimetres thick. It has to be extremely strong because it is the interface between the inside and outside air. We’ve managed to make a skin section of four by eight metres as a single piece of thermoplastic. That had never been done before. The larger the skin sections are, the fewer welds are needed – making the skin more lightweight and the production more efficient.”
“Aircraft manufacturers want to market a new aircraft in 2035. The new technology we’re investigating now should help achieve that. It may sound a long way off but the development process is lengthy. We need to be sure of the qualities of new materials and the structures we make with them before using them in an aircraft, of course.”
“You can think of the developments in thermoplastic as the building blocks for a new aircraft. The aircraft is lighter, so it uses less fuel. Fuselages made from thermoplastics can be used both in kerosene vehicles and in aircraft with new forms of propulsion. If we start flying on hydrogen in the future, it will have consequences for the fuselage design: the fuel tanks are in the wings in many kerosene-fuelled planes, whereas the tank for liquid hydrogen in a hydrogen aircraft would probably be in the hull. We’re also investigating the possibility of making such a tank from lightweight composites. In this process, we’re developing facilities to test the materials and structures at temperatures below twenty kelvin.”
“NLR also participates in various projects within the European partnership called Clean Aviation, the successor to Clean Sky 2. There is a lot of emphasis on propulsion technology, aircraft powered by hydrogen combustion, hybrid electric concepts and improving fuel efficiency. One of the studies NLR focuses on is high-power wiring in hybrid electrical aircraft. Another is looking at the integration of fuel cells. NLR’s contribution is in temperature control of these systems, making use of experience gained in the space sector. There is also attention for the integration of components for hydrogen propulsion into the composite construction of aircraft. This also fits in with the way knowledge was built up in previous projects within the Aerospace Vehicle Development programme.”
It’s important that Dutch industry can use our research to physically implement the solutionsJohan Kos
“In addition to developments related to aircraft, we’re also working in this programme on developing new spacecraft. There are various projects relating to small satellites in lower orbits. For example, we’re looking into ways of avoiding redundancy – duplication – of processors. Duplication takes more power and reduces performance, so we’re now looking into alternative components with higher reliability. NLR is developing a radiation test facility to explore which modifications are effective and which are unnecessary. These are all studies yielding results that aren’t immediately striking but could be very important for the future.”
What is the purpose of the programme?
“NLR wants to use this programme to give the Dutch aerospace industry a competitive edge in the development and production of new aerospace vehicles. Key aspects of that are efficiency (including cost-efficiency), safety and sustainability. It is about not only aircraft but also about spacecraft such as satellites. We’re also focusing on knowledge development for the Defence Department. We look at what new technologies mean for Defence. In addition to the development of the aerospace vehicles themselves, we’re also looking at regulations relating to new technology and aircraft.”
NLR as a source of inspiration
“We do a lot of research at NLR into what is and isn’t possible in the aerospace industry. It always starts at a very small scale and then expands further and further. We’ve been studying thermoplastics for more than fifteen years and now we have a large-scale prototype that aircraft manufacturers can really move forward with. This makes NLR a source of inspiration and sparring partner for aircraft manufacturers and the other parties involved.”
“We don’t build complete aircraft in the Netherlands but we do develop and supply components. The rise of new technology also creates opportunities for companies that were not previously active in aviation, which makes it more interesting. As a result, NLR also regularly has to deal with start-ups and SMEs. Working with them is very different than with a major player like Airbus. These dynamics make the work interesting and lead to good results.”

The answer to this fascinating question may be found on
Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. University of Southampton
scientist Professor Tim Leighton has speculated how the sound
of splashing liquid in deep space might differ to that heard
on Earth - and it’s possible that his theory could be proved
later this year by NASA’s Cassini mission to Saturn. In the
meantime, he has recreated the sound he believes it makes and
put it on the Internet.
On Thursday 1 July 2004,
NASA’s Cassini space craft will go into orbit around Saturn
where it will study the planet, its moons and rings for four
years. However, in Professor Leighton’s view, possibly the
most interesting aspect of the Cassini mission, is the
European Space Agency’s probe Huygens, which will study Titan.
After a seven-year journey strapped to the side of Cassini,
the probe will separate from it on Christmas Day 2004 and
coast for 20 days before parachuting through the thick
atmosphere to become the first man-made object to land on the
moon of another planet on 14 January 2005.
thick smog has prevented earlier spacecraft photographing its
surface, but there are suggestions that the moon may be home
to seas and streams made, not of water, but of liquid ethane.
The main focus of Huygens’ mission is sampling the smog-laden
atmosphere, but three minutes of battery time will be used for
investigations immediately after landing. Although the probe’s
microphone is on board primarily to monitor atmospheric
buffering, Professor Leighton of the University’s Institute
for Sound and Vibration Research, has suggested that, were the
microphone to detect a splash-down as opposed to a crunch on
landing, the question of what a splash in space might sound
like would be answered.
Professor Leighton, who has
speculated for several years on sounds in space, explains: ’I
began asking whether the noise of splashes which is so
familiar to us on Earth would be recognisable in a sea of
liquid ethane at a temperature of 180 degrees below zero.
NASA’s specially-commissioned painting of a waterfall -
actually a methane fall - on Titan inspired me to attempt to
predict how it would sound. I set up the equations and
measured the sound of a small waterfall in nearby Romsey. My
colleague Dr Paul White then processed the signal to obtain
what we believe would be the sound of a methane fall on Titan.
’Given that the last decade has seen an explosion in
the amount we can learn about the oceans simply by listening
to them, from storms to seabed properties to coastal erosion,
acoustics represent a potentially exciting and comparatively
low-cost method of space exploration.’
Leighton outlines his ideas for the role of acoustics in space
exploration in an article entitled ’The Sound of Titan’ to be
published in the July/August edition of Acoustics Bulletin.
The sound of the methane fall as calculated by Professor
Leighton and Dr Paul White can be heard at

Northrop Grumman has just won the contract to produce the next-generation stealth bomber, and while technical specifications weren't announced, we do know that each unit will cost a minimum of $564-million. Other known details include: the aircraft package consists of engines and sub-systems, with Initial Operational Capability set for 2025. Continue reading for a video of the concept in action, and more information.
The Bell AH-1Z Viper is a twin-engine attack helicopter based on the AH-1W SuperCobra, that was developed for the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The AH-1Z features a four-blade, bearingless, composite main rotor system, uprated transmission, and a new target sighting system. It incorporates new rotor technology with upgraded military avionics, weapons systems, and electro-optical sensors in an integrated weapons platform. It has improved survivability and can find targets at longer ranges and attack them with precision weapons. The Z-model's integrated avionics system (IAS) has been developed by Northrop Grumman. The system includes two mission computers and an automatic flight control system. Each crew station has two 8 x 6-inch multifunction liquid crystal displays (LCD) and one 4.2 x 4.2-inch dual function LCD display. Continue reading for more.

It's a bird...it's a plane...it's the FlyShip? Yes, this hybrid craft can not only hover just above the water, but is also capable of reaching speeds over 155mph (250km/h) in the sky. It has a 100 passenger capacity, with cabin space spanning an area of 1,500 square ft. The FlyShip hovers above land and water by creating a cushion of air under the 'reversed delta wings', propelling it from the ground. A three crew team is enough to keep everything running, as it consumes just 270 liters of fuel every hour, compared to jet liners which consume up to 3,300 liters per hour.

The Boeing-Sikorsky RAH-66 Comanche was an advanced five-blade armed reconnaissance and attack helicopter designed for the United States Army. The Comanche emplyed advanced sensors in its reconnaissance role, and was intended to designate targets for the AH-64 Apache. The aircraft was also armed with missiles and rockets to destroy armored vehicles. It was intended to be a stealth helicopter; it incorporated multiple techniques to reduce its radar cross-section (RCS) and other areas of visibility. Its outer surfaces were faceted and had radar-absorbent material (RAM) coatings and infrared-suppressant paint applied; with these measures, the Comanche's RCS was 360 times smaller than the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter.

Supersonic speed is essentially a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C at sea level, this speed is approximately 1,125 ft/s, or 1,235 km/h. Flights during which only some parts of the air surrounding an object, such as the ends of rotor blades, reach supersonic speeds are called transonic. This occurs typically somewhere between Mach 0.8 and Mach 1.23. A vapor cone (above) is a visible cloud of condensed water which can sometimes form around an object moving at high speed through moist air, for example an aircraft flying at transonic speeds. Continue reading for another supersonic flight compilation and more information.
Unlike other military drones, the Avenger is powered by a turbofan engine, and its design includes stealth features such as internal weapons storage, and an S-shaped exhaust for a reduced infrared signature and radar signature. General Atomics plans to integrate a 150-kilowatt solid-state laser, and if successful, the craft will take to the skies in 2017. Since laser systems are heavy, GA-ASI developed a power system for drone lasers that uses aircraft power to charge an intermediate storage system, and then that runs the laser when it's firing shots.

El Al planes have been fitted with anti-missile counter-measures since the early 2000s, with the initial system known as Flight Guard. Since that time, the company has been the only commercial airliner to fit its planes with systems to defend against anti-aircraft missiles. In 2014, El Al began to fit some of its planes that fly on more sensitive routes with an updated system missile defense system that employs an infrared missile-tracking camera, an infrared (IR), ultra-violet (UV), or radar missile-approach warning (MAWS) sensor to detect a missile launch in the very early stages of an attack and a laser system to act as a counter-measure.

China Develops a Laser That Can Shoot Down Low Flying Drones
In the history of weaponry, every new lethal weapon has led to the creation of a weapon that can take the lethal weapon down or at least diminish its effects. Even the most destructive of them all; the nuclear weapons can be defended from by using missile defense systems. One of the pieces of weaponry choice of countries like US is drones. The drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are capable of getting the desired result without putting the pilot’s life in danger. China though seems to have created the counter-measure for a drone offensive and their answer is lasers.
China’s new anti-drone laser weapon has a range of two kilometers and is capable of taking down low-altitude threats in five seconds of locating the target. The state media said that the technology will be used against “various small aircrafts.” The technology has been developed at the China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP).
Chinese government has been known for taking aggressive stands against almost every country that it sees as a threat. The nation’s President, Xi Jinping, had recently asked the country to be prepared for regional wars. China is already the 2nd biggest spender on defense in the world. It regularly finds itself at odds with its neighbours, especially India and the countries in the South China Sea.
The anti-drone weapon is one the steps taken by the country as a preventive measure and also to assert its military might. According to Xinhua, the weapon is effective up to a maximum altitude of 500 metres and against an aircraft flying at up to 50 metres per second (112 mph).
The drone technology has gained tremendous leap in just the recent times. Consumer models are available in departmental stores for really affordable prices. One of the officials has said that terrorists can make use of this easily available technology for their activities, and hence a deterrence is required.
A statement by CAEP says that shot down more than 30 drones in a recent test with a 100 percent success rate. The academy is also developing the next generation of laser security systems which will be capable of greater power and longer range.

Atlas Pilots Protest at NASDAQ While Company Holds Investor Day
While Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (AAWW) hosted an investor day in New York yesterday, the pilots working for its subsidiary air carriers who fly cargo for DHL and Amazon.com picketed outside the NASDAQ MarketSite in Times Square.
Through its Atlas Air, Inc. and Polar Air Worldwide Cargo, Inc. subsidiaries, AAWW is DHL’s largest U.S. contractor.
Wearing their pilot uniforms and holding signs reading, “Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings Pilots Ready to Strike,” “Americans Deserve a Fair Deal from DHL” and “Our Families Deserve Better,” the pilots marched in front of the MarketSite entrance to tell AAWW investors and executives that it’s time for the company to get serious about working with pilots to come to a fair contract agreement that is up to cargo industry standards.
“AAWW investors know that pilots keep our company and DHL running, and they should be deeply concerned that we are ready to go on a strike that would fully halt AAWW’s entire operation,” said Atlas Air pilot Asterios Houtas. “We hope investors will call on AAWW to do what’s in the best interest of everyone, including shareholders, pilots and customers like DHL and Amazon.com, and work with us to come to a fair, industry-standard contract agreement that gives our families the stability we need.”
AAWW owns three airlines that fly for DHL — Atlas Air, Inc., Polar Air Cargo, Inc. and Southern Air Holdings, Inc. The pilots, who are represented by the Internaitonal Brotherhood of Teamsters, claim the company is refusing to bargain fairly.
The AAWW pilots were also joined in solidarity by pilots from ABX, another carrier whose parent company contracts with DHL and Amazon.com.
In March, ATSG, ABX’s owner, announced an agreement with Amazon.com to operate an air cargo network serving Amazon customers in the U.S. Amazon.com recently signed an agreement with Atlas Air to double its fleet for domestic packages.
The Teamsters claim that AAWW and its airline affiliates are attempting to force the pilots to merge the now-obsolete Atlas Air contract with a Southern Air contract that was negotiated during bankruptcy. AAWW has stated that existing collective bargaining agreements call for the merger of contracts in the event of a company acquisition.
A strike would halt AAWW’s global flying and cripple operations for DHL. DHL accounts for more than 50 percent of Atlas Air’s business, and it is the sole customer of Southern Air. A strike could also have a significant impact on Amazon.com.
Atlas Air pilots and AAWW recently entered into federally mediated contract negotiations. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Teamsters Airline Division and APA Teamsters Local 1224, filed for mediation with the National Mediation Board (NMB).

Add the option to buy additional hubs
It is necessary to add the ability to purchase additional hubs. To be able to serve more distant corners of the country without buying long-haul aircraft.
For countries such as Russia, it is not possible to organize flights to distant cities without opening a hub in the nearest major city. Buying a long-haul aircraft will not solve the problem, since a remote city cannot always receive large aircraft, and there is also no large flow passenger. For example, in Russia, in order to fly to remote small cities, you can fly to the airport in the central part of the country (for example, Novosibirsk), and from there already to small cities by flights on small planes. I have a base airport of St. Petersburg (ICE) and from it you can fly to the other end of the country only by long-haul aircraft, or using several intermediate airports. But this is not convenient, because when using several airports on the route, it is not always possible to meet 24 hours. Google Translate.

CHRISTMAS shoppers are being advised to get clued in on safe drone practices — with the flying machines likely to be a popular gift.
That’s according to the Irish Aviation Authority, which launched its Christmas Safety Campaign this week.
Drone safety is now more vital than ever — as flights were disrupted at Dublin airport this year following the sighting of a drone at the airfield.
Launching the campaign with IAA safety officer and Dublin football manager Jim Gavin, the IAA revealed the number of drones registered here is almost 14,000.
'KNOW THE RULES'
But with the devices on the top of many Christmas lists, the numbers are set to soar even higher during the festive season.
CEO of the IAA Peter Kearney said that while there is a continuing upward surge in drone use, consumers should remember that they “are not like any other toy.”
He explained: “If you do get a drone this Christmas, you need to know the rules so that you can fly it safely.
"Thankfully the vast majority of drone users are compliant with the regulations.
“But if you do see anyone not complying, we would encourage you to contact your local Garda station.
"Reckless use of a drone or inappropriate use of a drone camera may result in prosecution.”
Drones of all sizes must abide by the regulation in the Small Unmanned Aircraft and Rockets Order 2015.
Owners don’t need specific permission from the IAA to operate the machines, unless they intend to use it outside the conditions of the 2015 Order, in which case they’ll need training and a Specific Operating Permission.
10 drone safety tips from the IAA:
1. Fly your drone no higher than 120 metres.
2. Make sure you can see your drone when flying (no more than 300 metres away).
3. Do not fly your drone over an assembly of 12 or more people, for example, at a parade, a concert or sports event.
4. Do not fly your drone within 5 kilometres of an airport or military controlled airspace.
5. Do not fly within 30 metres of a person, vehicle, vessel or structure not under your direct control.
6. Do not operate your drone outside of your direct line of sight.
7. Do not fly your drone in a restricted area such as a prison or military installation.
MOST READ IN TECH
8. Always seek permission from the landowner for take-off and landing.
9. If your drone is over 1kg, make sure you register it on the IAA website. It’s the law.
10. Drone safety is your responsibility. Never operate your drone in a negligent or reckless manner so as to endanger life or property of others.

What is the deal with Soyuz? It has launched rocket after rocket, with many failures and disasters, including the one on October 11, 2018. Seriously, this is too much. Is this Russian aircraft program purposely failing? Is it underresourced?
We are seriously thinking that Putin is not letting Russia succeed, a.k.a. he will not let Russia colonize Mars. Oh, well. There are many other programs that are trying to colonize Mars.
Elon Musk Versus Putin
Elon Musk versus Putin… whose program will be the first to go to Mars? While Elon Musk has his SpaceX program, Russia has its Soyuz.
SpaceX and Soyuz are serious competitors for space travel. NASA is working with both SpaceX and Soyuz programs to try to send astronauts to the ISS. While the U.S. space agency is trying to work with Musk on creating seats to carry astronauts to the ISS, NASA also hedged against the possibility that the plan with SpaceX might not be ready on time, by additionally paying $490 million for six Soyuz seats, back in 2015.
Jeff Bezos Versus Putin
Or, maybe Jeff Bezos’s program will be the first one to Mars. For regular space tourism, Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin tickets might cost $100,000 to $200,000 per each passenger. That is some serious money, but it might help provide additional funds for the ambitious program.
Meanwhile, Putin has said that he plans for Russia to send an unmanned mission to Mars in 2019. But are the resources there for this to happen, from a realistic perspective? As we all know from Soyuz missions, one small problematic bolt can result in turbulence and missed landings.
Above all, what it comes down to is willingness. Whoever has more funding and more resources may likely win the race. Also, whoever is more resourceful might gain an edge. The problem is, cutting corners on your budget when planning to send rockets to space can blow your mission (literally)! It all depends on how much Putin is willing to colonize Mars.

On my flight today, I was chatting with a fellow who worked on CO2 lasers– since I happen to have my USB Radiation detector I figured this would be a good opportunity to detect the Cosmic rays coming in to the plane with interested parties. It worked (photo here). The detector picked up 80, 120 and 240 Muon Count Rate (cpm). I haven’t dumped all the data and looked it up yet- seems harmless of course, but it was really neat to detect stuff while high above the clouds at 20,000 feet. When I get time, I’ll map the data with GPS, Sat photos and altitude- kinda like war driving for radiation.

Isn’t using GPS on an airplane illegal?
yeahh.. I think it is.
i meant match up the route, not using a gps on a plane :-]
I can’t imagine why it would be illegal while cruising. GPS are receivers not xmtrs. Probably like all elex stuff – not allowed during takeoff / landing.
Is makezine available at Barnes&Noble or some other store?
I think if they allow GPS on planes, the terrorists win.
bla, bla, terrorists…
I want to know about the USB Radiation detector, like a url or diy kinda thing.
And more detailed info…
I’ve done this as well: Geiger Counter
What you were doing is actually done commercially. Airborne gamma-ray spectrographic surveys are carried out pretty regularly, though using much smaller aircraft and flying much lower to the ground. spectrographic surveys are also usually carried out in paralel with other geophysical surveys as well.

AERO-DESIGN LAUNCHES THE MACHMETER VERSION OF THE MACH WATCH,
INCORPORATING AN ORIGINAL
PART OF THE SUPERSONIC
Aero-Design, an aviation-themed decoration, watchmaking and jewellery brand, has launched the Machmeter version of the Mach Watch, an exclusive watch in honour of the 50th anniversary of Concorde’s first flight. The chronograph with a dial displaying the original design of the machmeter, incorporates an authentic part of the Concorde Sierra Delta. The watch will be presented in Toulouse on 2 and 3 March 2019.
The first watch in the world with the design of a machmeter
After the success of the Airspeed model, with a dial designed from Concorde’s backup airspeed indicator and which already incorporated a piece of the aeroplane, Agnès Patrice-Crépin, co-founder of Aero-Design, is presenting an even more limited series. Only 50 copies of the Machmeter model of the Mach Watch have been produced. The dial is an identical replica of that of Concorde’s machmeter, the only civil aircraft to have this instrument.
Another exclusive point is that the watch incorporates an authentic piece of the Concorde Sierra Delta, the aircraft displayed at the French Air and Space museum at Le Bourget. "A collector gave me a part from this Concorde. He wanted Aero-Design, whose creations he loves, to make a beautiful object with it to keep the Concorde legend alive. It was when I saw the registration number that I understood that it came from the Sierra Delta, the model that held all the records!" says the designer Agnès Patrice-Crépin.
The part comes from the rear section of the wing, at the leading edge, and is stamped with the reference and date of entry into service, and found in the form of a plaque screwed to the side of the watch.
Presentation in Toulouse 2 and 3 March 2019
Aero-Design is presenting the Machmeter version of the Mach Watch in Toulouse during a special Concorde week-end: the Concorde prototype flew for the first time on 2 March 1969 in Blagnac.
On Saturday 2 March, Aero-Design is taking part in thespecial evening and auction organised by the Aeroscopia museum in Toulouse. The prototype of the first AirSpeed version of the Mach Watch Concorde chronograph will be up for sale on Saturday.
During the day, Aeroscopia is offering a selection of activities attended by the former staff of the Concorde programme.
On Sunday 3 March, the auction will continue at the auctioneer Labarbe’s firm. Besides the Mach Watch, Aero-Design is also offering two tables made from Concorde parts, one from a landing gear door, the other from a landing gear wheel rim.
Mach 2 Concorde wristband
To complement the 2019 Concorde collection, Aero-Design is also launching a model of its iconic Mach 2 wristband on 2 March.
First there were the Patrouille de France, French Air Force, Air France 747, and Latécoère models, and then the latest Moana model, created to support Te Mana O Te Moana, a Polynesian association. Now comes the Mach 2 Concorde version, which bears its name well.
The Mach 2 range of wristbands is inspired by aviation cables, links between the flight controls and the aeroplane rudders. The clasp is a reproduction of aviation electrical contacts.
The Mach 2 Concorde model displays the 50th anniversary logo designed by Aeroscopia and will be on sale at aero-design.fr.

Created in 2012 by Agnès Patrice-Crépin, French private pilot, decorator and designer since 2000, and Florence Ramioul, a Belgian doctor, Aero-Design is an aviation decoration brand for individuals, companies and events. Aero-Design creations come from civil and military aircraft parts which have been restored and turned into furniture and small objects. Aero-Design has three complementary businesses: mass producing promotional items and accessories, making trophies and limited edition large-scale sculptures, and creating jewellery. In July 2012, Airbus contacted Aero-Design for a sculpture project for the launch of the new A350. Two years of hard work later, Aero-Design became the official Airbus artist and supplier. In 2017, Aero-Design opened the Aero-Design Concept Store & Gallery, a boutique and art gallery in Weiswampach, Luxembourg. In 2018 Aero-Design launched the Airspeed Mach Watch model, incorporating an authentic piece of Concorde. In 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the civil supersonic aircraft, the dial of the new limited edition (50 copies only) of the Machmeter model reproduces Concorde’s machmeter exactly.

The planet Mars will be its closest distance to Earth, on January 27, 2010 (a mere 99.33 million kilometers away), than it will be for the next four years'”until 2014.
It won't be as close as it was in 2003'”when it was only 56 kilometers (35 million miles) from Earth (its closest distance to Earth in 60,000 years)'”however it will still appear very bright, orangish-red, and a bit larger, too.
According to the Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) website Mars 2009/2010, 'Mars will come into Opposition on January 29, 2010 in the constellation Cancer. Two days before, on January 27, 2010, the planet will have come to its closest approach to Earth during this apparation: 99.33 million km (0.66399 AU).'
And, 'This is not very close, as Mars will be quite close to its aphelion at the time of this opposition; the aphelion is passed on March 31, 2010. This opposition will occur during Northern Spring and Southern Autumn on Mars, so primarily observable will be the Northern hemisphere of Mars.'
Another date to look forward to is August 14/15, 2050. On that day, Mars will be about 55.957 million kilometers from Earth--another very close proximity to Mars, like in 2003 [SEDS statistics].
You will be able to see the planet Mars if you look toward the east at sunset. Mars will be within the constellation Cancer, and just to the left of the Moon.
Page two continues with information on its apparent magnitude (brightness), along with a sky map of the evening sky.
Mars will appear as bright as a First Magnitude star. It will be especially noticeable if you use a medium-size backyard telescope for the viewing of Mars.
First magnitude stars are the brightest stars that we see in the night sky. They range from +1 (least bright of the first magnitude stars) to 0 (medium) to -1 (most bright) in magnitude.
For instance, the star Sirius (9 Alpha CMa) has a magnitude of -1.44. Mars will have a magnitude of -1.3, making it just a little bit less bright than Sirius.
And, Sirius will be relatively close to Mars during this time of viewing. Sirius will appear bluish in color and will twinkle like a star, while Mars will appear orangish (maybe we should call it the Orange Planet) and doesn't twinkle.
See a sky map of the eastern night sky on Friday, January 29, 2010, at a NASA website.
When viewing Mars with a telescope, you should be able to see such features as the Martian Northern Polar Cap, the Huygens Crater, and the Hellas Basin.
The region of the northern polar cap will be displaying a bluish tint as carbon dioxide in the ice caps begin to evaporate (with the coming summer season) and interact with the polar clouds.
Check out the 1.26.2010 NASA media release 'Close Encounter with Mars,' for approximate locations of these physical features on the planet.
Page three concludes with the reason why Friday, January 29, might be an even better time to watch Mars in the night sky than Wednesday, January 27, 2010.
According to the NASA article, 'For visual observers, the best display comes on Friday, Jan. 29th, when the full Moon and Mars converge for a floodlamp-bright conjunction.'
"To the unaided eye, Mars will resemble a bright orange star.'
To learn more about the planet Mars, please go to the NASA website 'Mars: NASA Explores the Red Planet' and the Space.com website 'All About Mars.'

- Payment Reference
Visit to Airbus A350 factory at Broughton, CH4 0DR, on 11th July
Thanks to CSTS member Robert MacLachlan we have the opportunity to visit the Airbus A350 factory on 11th July 2019.
The A350 factory (opened by David Cameron in October 2011) produces wings for the new A350 XWB (extra wide body), aircraft which is made of more than 50% composite material.
This visit will start at 9.45am, and take about 2 hours, the timing is not negotiable, as a later start would disrupt their work.
We therefore need to leave Cirencester at 6.10am (note the revised time).
Given the early start, please would you reply to me as soon as possible if you would like to go, the cost would be coach travel plus a £5 contribution to Airbus.

General Dynamics subsidiary Jet Aviation has announced it will buy Asia Pacific general aviation company Hawker Pacific for $US250 million.
Hawker Pacific has several fixed-base operations in Australia and New Zealand specialising in corporate jet and maintenance facilities. The company also has defence support contracts and is the Asia Pacific agent for Cessna, Beechcraft, Bell and Diamond.
Rob Smith, president of Jet Aviation said the move was part of his company's expansion in the region.
“The acquisition of Hawker Pacific represents a significant step in expanding our footprint, capability and customer offer across Asia Pacific and the Middle East,” he said. “Hawker Pacific has a wide range of services including civil MRO, fleet services, FBO network and aircraft sales, enabling Jet Aviation to further expand its current portfolio, enter new markets, and reinforce the company’s position as one of the world’s leading business aviation service providers.”
According to Alan Smith, CEO of Hawker Pacific, the buy-out will strengthen his company's position.
“We believe the company’s acquisition by Jet Aviation represents an excellent outcome for Hawker Pacific’s investors, employees and customers," he said. "It builds on our strong values and passion for exceeding our customer’s expectations and I, on behalf of the management, am confident that the combination of the two companies will create a clear leader in the aviation space.”
Jet Aviation was founded in Switzerland in 1967 and has over 4000 employees operating from 30 airports throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North America and the Caribbean. The company provides maintenance, FBO and fuel services, along with aircraft management, charter services and personnel services.
The deal is still subject to closing conditions being met, but there are no obstacles expected.

Economic Regulation Programme
Under the economic regulation,programme, ICAO effectively addresses significant matters relating to the regulation of international air transport and its liberalization and its activities include:
- Monitoring and analysing trends and developments;
- Studying regulatory issues of general importance;
- Developing policy and guidance material;
- Dissemination and implementation of policy guidance;
- Providing advice, guidance and assistance to ICAO member States; and
- Development and implementation of ICAO’s policies on taxation of international air transport
This programme is based on the following objectives:
- Promote ICAO’s policies and guidance on the regulatory framework of international air transport
- Promote, disseminate and implement ICAO’s policies and guidance in the field of economic regulation of international air transport.
- Foster the development and expansion of international travel and trade through ICAO’s policies on taxation of international air transport and provide support to Member States for the implementation of these policies.
- Provision of the meeting facility of ICAO Air Services Negotiation (ICAN) event to Member States
The present evolution of the international air transport regulatory framework and the globalization and transnationalization of markets and business operations may increase the need for ICAO to harmonize the global regulatory framework, assist states in further air transport liberalization, and to keep its guidance on economic regulation current and responsive to the changes. The service is provided to governments (ministry of transport, civil aviation authority), air transport service operators and providers and their trade associations, airlines, airports, civil aviation professionals, consultants, and the travelling public through the provision of technical support on a required basis, and the dissemination of information through publications (documents, manuals and circulars) and meetings (workshops, seminars, symposia, and conferences). ICAO has produced template air services agreements (TASAs) for the guidance of, and optional use by, states in their air transport relationships.

Ed Cesnalis Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Its time to ruffle some feathers on various subjects. The way I see things is that flying light aircraft was figured out about 100 years ago. Our CTs are clean but they are in weight and power ranges that have long existed, I don't see anything new yet we seem to have re-invented landing techniques. To be clear there are 2 distinct "stick forward" issues advocated here that I believe are worth re-visiting: Forward stick is advocated as a reaction to ballooning when attempting to flare. Forward stick is advocated after touchdown in order to gain directional control through nose-wheel steering. First my memory tells me that during flare that my stick should be like a ratchet, meaning it only moves back but not forward. I remember the reason is that any forward movement would destroy lift while I'm close to the ground as well it will lower my nose wheel when I need to contact mains 1st. Make no mistake the technique of lowering the nose to fix the balloon is not difficult but if wind sheer decides to complicate the process at the right moment I'm likely to go for a wheel barrow ride and realize inadequate directional control (or an ugly bounce.) I don't want to go there ( again, been there before ) and I don't want to set up another pilot for such an event by advising forward stick. What does the FAA say? http://www.faa.gov/l...083-3a-4of7.pdf BALLOONING DURING ROUNDOUT If the pilot misjudges the rate of sink during a landing and thinks the airplane is descending faster than it should, there is a tendency to increase the pitch attitude and angle of attack too rapidly. This not only stops the descent, but actually starts the airplane climbing. This climbing during the roundout is known as ballooning. [Figure 8-35] Ballooning can be dangerous because the height above the ground is increasing and the airplane may be rapidly approaching a stalled condition. The altitude gained in each instance will depend on the airspeed or the speed with which the pitch attitude is increased. When ballooning is slight, a constant landing attitude should be held and the airplane allowed to gradually decelerate and settle onto the runway. Depending on the severity of ballooning, the use of throttle may be helpful in cushioning the landing. By adding power, thrust can be increased to keep the airspeed from decelerating too rapidly and the wings from suddenly losing lift, but throttle must be closed immediately after touchdown. Remember that torque will be created as power is applied; therefore, it will be necessary to use rudder pressure to keep the airplane straight as it settles onto the runway. When ballooning is excessive, it is best to EXECUTE A GO-AROUND IMMEDIATELY; DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SALVAGE THE LANDING. Power must be applied before the airplane enters a stalled condition. The pilot must be extremely cautious of ballooning when there is a crosswind present because the crosswind correction may be inadvertently released or it may become inadequate. Because of the lower airspeed after ballooning, the crosswind affects the airplane more. Consequently, the wing will have to be lowered even further to compensate for the increased drift. It is imperative that the pilot makes certain that the appropriate wing is down and that directional control is maintained with opposite rudder. If there is any doubt, or the airplane starts to drift, EXECUTE A GO-AROUND. Nothing there about lowering the nose. Is there anything that you advocates of nose lowering have to hang your hats on? Here is a quote that I like: http://www.whittsfly...on_Landings.htm "If the horizon falls relative to the nose you are rising and should pause for the time it takes the nose to reposition itself relative to the horizon. Moving the yoke forward is a no-no. The limits of human recognition and reaction are such that any forward movement of the yoke will most likely make things worse. It has taken years of empirical evidence and wrecked aircraft to make this a truism of flight instruction." Now forward stick during roll out, I've said this before, I have never "run out of rudder" so why abandon the rudder and the aerodynamic braking? Again some wind sheer ( think gust under my tail ) could help get you wheel barrowing and you will have to regain control or depart the runway. I recognize that some very experienced pilots have adopted flying it on and forward stick for their cts and I respectfully request that this technique be explained, hopefully with references. To date all I have are reasons I don't buy, like its easy to balloon, or the directional control is needed in a crosswind. I think I have demonstrated otherwise over the last 1,000 landings many made in difficult conditions. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inuvik airport fire destroys 3 planes
A northern Canadian airline says it will recover from a fire that destroyed its hangar and three of its six planes in Inuvik, N.W.T.
The blaze at the Aklak Air facility at the Inuvik airport happened around 10:40 p.m. MT Thursday, according to Northwest Territories transportation officials.
The fire wiped out half of Aklak Air's fleet, claiming a Beechcraft King Air 100, a Beechcraft Model 99 and a Twin Otter aircraft. Damages are estimated at more than $5 million.
James Thorburne, president of the Inuvialuit Development Corporation, which owns Aklak Air, told CBC News the airline is bringing in an extra plane from Alberta as it works on rebuilding its hangar.
"We do have the insurance, so it will be a while to rebuild and get back to normal," Thorburne said late Friday. "But in the interim, we'll be able to keep the service going."
Protected nearby buildings
Military fire crews joined Inuvik's volunteer firefighters in responding to Thursday night's hangar fire.
Local firefighters said their lone tanker truck did not have enough water to extinguish the blaze, so crews focused on protecting nearby buildings, including Aklak Air's office.
"We tried to pull the doors off so we could get the planes out, but the doors opened up and it was very difficult, so we weren't able to do that," firefighter and longtime Inuvik resident Vince Sharpe told CBC News.
"By the time we got around to getting the doors off, the inside was pretty much fully involved. With the planes full of fuel inside [we] were expecting an explosion, so we pretty much pulled back and just tried to protect adjoining structures."
No one was injured in the fire, Sharpe said.
Medical aircraft undamaged
Thorburne said Aklak's medevac aircraft was spared because it was parked in the local RCMP hangar at the time.
Aklak Air provides scheduled flights to most communities in the Mackenzie Delta region, where some communities are accessible mainly by air.
Thorburne said the airline would make all of its regularly scheduled flights Friday, except in cases where poor weather may affect service.
But at the Inuvik airport, Aklak Air customers said they faced some morning flight delays and cancellations.
"It's been cancelled," said Jason Bolduck, who was waiting for a flight from Inuvik to Ulukhaktok, N.W.T. "I've been here for a couple hours now."
Aklak Air is affiliated with Kenn Borek Air, a large charter aviation company based in Calgary.

Doha, QATAR – Qatar Airways Cargo has announced an expansion of its dedicated freighter routes with new services to Hanoi, Kozhikode and Bengaluru.
Freighter operations to Kozhikode and onto Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, are served with an Airbus A300 freighter on the route boosting Qatar Airways Cargo freighter capacity in India by an additional 40 metric tonnes a week.
Cargo flights from Doha to Hanoi begin on April 15, stopping in Hong Kong on the return sector. The weekly service is operated with one of the airline’s dedicated Boeing 777 freighters and follows the successful launch of passenger flights to the Vietnamese capital in November 2010. Qatar Airways also operates scheduled services to Ho Chi Minh City and is the only Gulf carrier flying to Vietnam.
In India, Qatar Airways currently operates passenger and cargo flights to 12 cities. The additional freighter service to Kozhikode and Bengaluru will complement existing cargo operations to Kolkata, the West Bengali city that will also become a passenger route when Qatar Airways commences daily flights on July 27. Cargo payloads include a multitude of goods ranging from medical and pharmaceutical supplies to vegetables and personal effects.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said that the new freighter services presented an opportunity to grow business in Vietnam and also bring welcomed extra capacity to the airline’s cargo operations in India.
“Adding Hanoi to our cargo network is an astute move for us as we’ve identified this as a major growth market,” he said, adding, “Vietnam exports a lot of manufacturing goods and it is the world’s second highest exporter of rice.
“In India, we’ve seen a big upward trend in cargo movements. By coupling Kozhikode with Bengaluru on this new cargo route from Doha, we ensure that we are utilising the available space onboard our freighter to the maximum.
“The market in India is still growing and we see more opportunities on the horizon. We are not only catering for the needs of Qatar, but also for freight forwarders looking to send goods beyond our Doha hub to destinations across the Middle East, Europe, Africa and North America.”
Last year, Qatar Airways launched its first North American cargo route with dedicated freighter operations to Chicago – and received two of its three Boeing 777 freighters on order. Cargo operations for the airline will move to New Doha International Airport when the US$14.5 billion facility becomes operational. With Bengaluru, Kozhikode and Hanoi added, the number of freighter destinations served increases to 29 destinations.
By 2013, Qatar Airways plans to serve over 120 key business and leisure destinations worldwide with a modern fleet of more than 120 aircraft. Today, the airline’s fleet stands at 97 aircraft, flying to 100 destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North and South America.
About Qatar Airways: Qatar Airways will operate a fleet of 120 aircraft by 2013, by which time its global network will rise to 120 destinations. The airline has ordered 80 Airbus A350s, 24 Airbus A320 Family of aircraft, 60 Boeing 787s and 37 Boeing 777s, with deliveries of the latter having started in November 2007. The carrier has aircraft orders for more than 200 jets worth over US$40 billion and is one of the customers of the twin-deck Airbus A380 ‘super jumbos’ with five on order and scheduled for delivery from 2012, by which time the New Doha International Airport would have opened.
About Qatar Airways Cargo: Doha-based Qatar Airways Cargo provides cargo services to more than 100 destinations worldwide using the cargo space available on the Qatar Airways passenger aircraft fleet as well as a dedicated network operated by its Airbus A300-600 and Boeing 777 freighter fleet.

HONOLULU (AP) – Officials remain at the scene of Friday’s deadly skydiving plane crash in Hawaii.
Federal investigators will review repair and inspection records on the skydiving plane that became inverted before crashing shortly after takeoff on Oahu’s North Shore, killing all 11 people on board in the deadliest civil aviation accident since 2011.
The same plane sustained substantial damage to its tail section in a 2016 accident while carrying skydivers over Northern California.
Repairs were then made to get the plane back into service, National Transportation Safety Board officials said at a news conference Sunday.
Officials say the plane was equipped to carry 13 people.

The Goodyear Inflatoplane
By James Grahame
The Goodyear GA-466 Inflatoplane was an improbable rubber aircraft designed for the United States Army as a compact rescue vehicle. The idea of parachuting a rubber airplane kit into hostile territory is ludicrous, especially when you consider that you'd need to be a trained pilot with access to a runway to have any chance of making it home.
Still, I suppose a secret agent being held hostage at an enemy airbase might be able to overpower a half dozen ill-trained guards and force them to assemble her 740 lb getaway vehicle at gunpoint. Of course, she'd also have to borrow a few gallons of avgas and evade enemy jet fighters and helicopter gunships while cruising along at a maximum speed of 70 mph.
A total of 12 Inflatoplanes were built between 1955 and 1962 before the Army concluded there was no viable use for such a quirky craft. One of the originals is on display at the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum, should you have an overwhelming urge to witness such lunacy first hand.

Advanced Avionics Training
Transitioning to a Garmin 430/530/650/750 is a great step, enabling enhanced position awareness and navigation for the VFR pilot, and access to the thousands of GPS approaches for the IFR pilot. Learn how to take advantage of the capability of these receivers. Transition training is best accomplished using a flight simulator prior to flying.
Take Flight San Diego has created two training videos to help you learn the practical aspects of the Garmin 430/530 and 650/750. Developed by our own flight training company, these videos are available for iPad, PC, and Mac and can be viewed at www.flighttrainingapps.com
Transitioning to a Garmin G1000, often referred to as Glass Cockpit Transition, is the future of navigation. The G1000 has quickly become the standard navigation choice for new aircraft from Cessna, Piper, Mooney, Diamond, Cirrus, Beech, and virtually all light jets. The range of features can be daunting, but like anything else it makes sense once you understand how the system works.
The G1000 transition is taught in the real airplane on the ground using backup power, to learn all of the features of the system and associated autopilot. The ground portion typically takes one sessions of approximately 2 hours followed by two flights totaling 5 hours.
Become proficient in the use of the autopilot in the airplanes you fly. Training is offered in the KAP 140, Garmin GFC 700, STEC 55/55X, and Avidyne DFC 90.

The Federal Aviation Administration stated it has now not enviornment a timetable for lifting its grounding of the airplane.
A Boeing 737 MAX eight jetliner being built for American Airways sooner than a take a look at flight in Renton, Wash., on Could well eight. (Ted S. Warren/AP)
October 9 at 2:forty three PM
American Airways stated Wednesday it expects federal officers to log out on instrument updates and completely different adjustments to Boeing’s 737 Max jets later this year and plans to resume passenger carrier on the airplane on Jan. sixteen.
“American Airways anticipates that the upcoming instrument updates to the Boeing 737 Max will result in recertification of the airplane later this year and resumption of enterprise carrier in January 2020,” the airline stated in a commentary. “We’re in continuous contact with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transportation (DOT).”
Despite American’s announcement, FAA officers maintained there will not be any timeline for returning the planes to carrier, and stated it has now not given airways a date for when the grounding may maybe maybe be lifted.
“The FAA is following a thorough route of, now not a prescribed timeline, for returning the Boeing 737 Max to passenger carrier,” the company stated in an electronic mail. “The FAA is constant to take into legend Boeing’s instrument modification and is silent rising vital coaching requirements.”
American’s date for resuming carrier with the Max would raze it the closing of the first carriers to resume flying the plane below dates which were introduced. Southwest Airways, which has the most Max jets of any U.S. carrier, has eliminated the jets from its agenda until Jan. 5, whereas United Airways has eliminated the Max from its agenda until Dec. 19.
American’s announcement comes reach nearly seven months after regulators around the sector grounded the Max in the wake of two lethal crashes that killed 346 of us.
This month marks the anniversary of the Oct. 29 wreck of a Lion Air flight that plunged into the Java Sea rapidly after takeoff, killing all 189 passengers and crew aboard. A closing document on that wreck is expected later this year. Lower than five months later, a 737 Max flying below the Ethiopian Airways banner went down rapidly after takeoff from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport, killing all 157 passengers and crew people aboard.
In every cases, preliminary investigations pointed to points with an anti-stall scheme often known because the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS), which used to be designed to atone for adjustments to the plane’s gain.
The crashes bear ended in increased scrutiny of the route of the FAA followed in certifying that the latest version of the popular 737 airplane used to be accurate to soar, as effectively as Boeing’s position in that route of. Both the FAA and Boeing are now subjects of diverse inquiries by congressional committees, the Transportation Department’s Inspector Overall and the Justice Department’s felony division.
Boeing has been working for months on instrument updates to the MCAS — an effort the firm says has incorporated an total bunch of hours of instrument prognosis, laboratory testings and simulator verification. As effectively as, it has performed two take a look at flights, along side an in-flight certification take a look at with the FAA, which must certify the adjustments sooner than the planes will be cleared to soar.
American stated it expects flights on the 737 Max to resume initiating Jan. sixteen, and to gradually raze better at some stage in January and into February. The airline infamous that because the favor of flights on 737 Max jets will slowly raze better over the route of a month, there may maybe maybe be extra agenda adjustments. Passengers plagued by those adjustments may maybe maybe be contacted without lengthen by the airline.
American stated it’s working on accommodations for travelers who attain now not are looking to commute on the 737 Max once it resumes flying and will commence details in coming weeks.
Flights scheduled on Max planes by Jan. 6, is now not going to be canceled. As an change, assuredly American will change completely different airplane of their derive 22 situation. Schedules for travelers with reservations Jan. 7-15 may maybe maybe be as a lot as this level on Sunday.

Alabeo's Diamond DA40
Alabeo has produced a sharp rendition of Diamond's DA40 with high-definition textures, accurate features inside and outside, realistic behavior, among other touted features. Versions are available for FSX and. I reviewed the FSX version.
Alabeo's DA40 Liveries
Five liveries in stylish modern designs are provided, including one of multiple bright colors. I found similar designs among the many DA40 liveries I found on the Internet. It also provides one plain white aircraft for custom painting. Designs remain crisp and clear even in close-up views.
Alabeo's DA40 Exteriors
Exteriors of Alabeo's DA40s are true to the real-world photos I found on the Internet, including sizes, dimensions, and details. Physical details such as air-intake vents, door latches, antenna, flaps fairings, and seams between the molded-composite forms are all depicted accurately. Surfaces are smooth and reflective consistent with the real-world aircraft's composite materials. Reflections of the world around the aircraft, such as clouds and ground features are clearly visible, and they change as the aircraft's attitudes and surroundings change. Shading effects and light-source shines change as the aircraft's attitudes change.
Wheel fairings can be "installed" and removed through a check box on a popup window.

Alabeo's DA40's Interiors
Alabeo paid as much or more attention to detail inside the aircraft as seen outside. Carpeting, upholstery, lights, air vents, seat belts, handles, and other hardware are all shown with utmost clarity close up and from a distance. The seat textures look as though they might be part leather and part fabric. As with outside, the cabin's lighting effects are realistic with light sources and shadows depicted accurately. The spaciousness of this small aircraft's cabin is obvious from the interior scans. Charts and other papers in the side pockets make the cockpit looked lived in. Night lighting is realistic. Interiors are the same for all six liveries.
Through a checkbox in a popup window, users may select a transparent windscreen or a regular windscreen. The latter is slightly cloudy but barely enough to notice a difference. Both windscreen versions have scratches.
Alabeo's Instruments and Controls
Alabeo's DA40 rendition depicts the traditional analog instruments powered by air pressure, gyroscopes, and electricity, which was common in early models of Diamond's DA40. (Diamond curiously used one electronic "glass" instrument to show engine and electrical data and another to show fuel levels in its old panels.)
All scales, needles, and text in Alabeo's instruments are easy to read from where the eyes of a pilot would be. Most text on the panel surface and and on major controls are crisp, clear, and easy to read from a normal distance, but some require zooming in. This is particularly true of the electrical switches and flaps lever. By clicking all around the cockpit and all over the main instrument panel, I found that most switches, buttons, knobs, and levers worked. Night lighting is realistic with backlighting of the instruments and spot lighting of the controls.
Alabeo uses a Vision Microsystems VM 1000 for its electronic engine monitoring system. It shows manifold pressure, engine speed, engine temperatures, fuel flow, and other significant data. Its dials and digital readouts are clear and easy to read from the pilot's eyes. Some of its buttons below the screen affect the display, and others do nothing.
The two Garmin GNS 430devices are commonly installed in Alabeo aircraft and should therefore be familiar to users of Alabeo's aircraft. Their display screens are about half the size of the Garmin 500 GPS devices used by , which is the most obvious difference. Additionally, they handle the communication and radio frequencies, thus eliminating the need for separate radios. Otherwise, they perform the same functions as the Garmin 500. A larger version is displayed in a popup window. Alabeo enables FSX users to replace its stock GNS 430s with units from Reality XP, which is explained in its manuals. Alabeo clearly states that this feature is not available for P3D.
The Bendix/King KFC 225 autopilot looks much like the Bendix/King autopilots used in default MSFS general-aviation aircraft, but it functions a little differently. The most significant difference I found is that it must be given a vertical speed or it will not climb or descend, whereas the default MSFS Bendix/King autopilot automatically knows a vertical speed and climbs or descends immediately. Alabeo says in its manual that it modified or eliminated some features of the real-world KFC 225 autopilot features "to have a simpler instrument suitable for the simulator."
A placard says the DA40 is certified forand day-and-night . The analog panel has all the required IFR instruments.
No two-dimensional panel is included. Some flight simmers like them, and some never use them.
Lenses on the instrument windows can be made to appear or disappear though a checkbox in a popup window. The most visible differences are that the instruments are either bright and clear as though they had no lenses or slightly foggy to depict lenses. Reflections on these lenses are visible whenever the aircraft's light source and/or attitude change.
No Glass Reflections
Pilots and flight simmers who prefer glass cockpits refer to analog instruments as "steam gauges," which is a pejorative term reflecting their disdain for what they consider outmoded. Some pilots and flight simmers strongly prefer glass over analog, and some don't care one way or another. I am among the latter. The Diamond Aircraft website advertises glass cockpits for its currently produced models, and one reviewer criticizes Alabeo for depicting this out-of-production model. In response to my question, Alabeo said: "Our decisions about which aircraft we'll model are based on many factors, including customer suggestions and others." It has been producing modern and vintage add-on aircraft for years, so its rendering an out-of-production DA40 should surprise no one.
Alabeo's DA40 Sounds
To create sounds unique to Diamond's DA40, Alabeo uses 27sound files and one unique file that must be accepted by the users whenever the aircraft is loaded for the first time in a simulator session. Having never flown in a real-world DA40, I cannot personally attest to the realism of these sounds, but they seem accurate for an aircraft of this type. I have no reason to doubt Alabeo's authenticity, either.
Click to Listen
Alabeo provides sixdocuments enabling users to maximize their enjoyment of its DA40:
GNS 430 User Guide: This three-page manual uses text and annotated screen shots to explain the uses of this Garmin GPS device. Most flight simmers who have used other Alabeo aircraft will be familiar with this device.
Autopilot KFC225: Alabeo's three-page manual explains all functions of its modified KFC 225 autopilot with annotated screen shots and text.
Normal Procedures: This 26-page manual is a series of checklists for all flight phases from preflight to post-flight inspections. Like most checklists, many of its steps are ambiguous, so cross referencing with the reference and performance data is required.
Emergency Procedures: This 28-page, all-text manual provides guidance for a multitude of emergencies such as engine problems, defective controls, smoke/fire, and emergency landings.
Performance Tables: This three-page document provides two pages of tabular data about power measures such as propeller, manifold pressure, and fuel flow at various altitudes. One page contains a table showing true airspeeds attainable at various power settings and altitudes.
References: This two-page document shows four significantand describes the four color markings on the airspeed indicator.
Alabeo curiously does not include a manual for its Vision Microsystems VM 1000 electronic engine display. I found one for the real-world model at the Lexington Flying Club.
Alabeo's DA40 Performance
Regarding performance, Alabeo's SimShack product description says only that behavior is realistic. Its aircraft are usually true to their real-world counterparts, however.
I tested Alabeo's Diamond DA40 at London International/Municipal Airport (CYXU) in London, Ontario, Canada (about halfway between Toronto and Detroit). That is where Diamond Canada builds its DA40s, and its factory is clearly seen in Google's street views. Elevation is 912 feet (278 meters), and its longest runway is 8,800 feet (2,682 meters). I usedand the aircraft's default weight.
Weight and Balance: According to the FSX Fuel/Payload menu, Alabeo's Diamond DA40s weigh 2,247 pounds (1,019 kilograms), which is 85 percent of its 2,646-pound (1,200-kilogram) maximum take-off weight. This weight consists of two persons at 180 pounds (82 kilograms) each plus 41 US gallons (247 pounds, 112 kilograms) of fuel, which is 100-percent capacity.
Taxiing: Alabeo's DA40 taxis like similar light aircraft. It accelerates with slight power increases, it turns nicely at normal taxiing speeds, and it stops where needed with reduced power and braking. I found nothing difficult about taxiing in this aircraft.
Taking Off: The Pre-take-off checklist says to deflect flaps to the T/O position, which is one notch. The Take-off checklist says to advance power fully but not abruptly to a "high RPM." Whatever is high enough or too high is not clear, so I advanced throttle fully and saw the tachometer reach 2,700 RPMs, which is within the yellow caution zone but below the red maximum line. The checklist says the nose wheel should lift off at 59 knots and the aircraft should climb off the runway at 60 knots to 67 knots depending on weight (more weight requires higher speed and vice versa). My DA40 accelerated quickly, rotated at 60 knots, and lifted off the runway at 65 knots, all of which is consistent with the checklist guidance.
Climbing: The Climb checklist says to set engine speed at 2,400 RPMs when "above safe height." Above safe height is an ambiguous term that generally means the aircraft is definitely climbing and will remain airborne. The Cruise Climb checklist says maximum power, 2,400 RPM, and rich fuel mixture. It also says "flaps up," but it doesn't specify an airspeed or altitude. I retracted them after attaining my "above safe height." I found nothing about best climb speed or angle.
My DA40 had no trouble climbing at 70 knots indicated airspeed, 1,000 feet per minute with a 10-degree pitch and flaps up. After I lowered the pitch to 5 degrees, vertical speed fell to 500 FPM and airspeed accelerated to 95 knots. After the aircraft stabilized in its climb, airspeed rose to 105 knots, and vertical speed rose back to 1,000 FPM. The Climb Cruise checklist calls for adjusting mixture to hold AOPA guidelines for leaning mixture throughout my climb to cruise altitude, which is basically leaning until the engine sputters, then enriching until it resumes normal operation, and doing this every 2,000 feet of climb.steady. Neither leaning nor enriching the fuel mixture moved EGT from 1,120 until the engine sputtered from overleaning, then EGT went under 1,000. So I followed the
The aircraft struggled to climb to its specified ceiling of 16,400 feet (5,002 meters). From about 11,000 feet (3,355 meters), I had to advance engine power to the maximum RPMs of 2,700 by pushing throttle and propeller to their maximums. The Climb and Cruise Climb checklist guidance of 2,400 RPMs is not enough power to reach service ceiling.
Cruising: The DA40 cruised nicely at 16,000 feet (4,880 meters). After I fiddled with the throttle, propeller, and mixture controls to achieve the numbers in Alabeo's tables, the aircraft steadied at 95 knots indicated, which computes roughly to about 127 knots true airspeed. This speed is considerably slower than the specified 150 knots at 75-percent power. Neither indicated nor true airspeed is identified in the specifications, but neither 95 nor 127 is close anyway. I tried this twice more with only slightly better results.
Descending: Descending requires simply adjusting power, pitch, propeller, and mixture as needed to achieve the performance numbers in Alabeo's tables. The DA40 descended smoothly at 100 to 110 knots indicated during my descent to approach altitude.
Approaching: The Approach checklist says to reduce speed to 108 knots indicated to enable flaps deflection. This was easy because the aircraft wasn't traveling much faster than that anyway. For the final approach, the checklist calls for flaps in the T/O position, which is one notch down, and for fully rich fuel mixture and high RPM power. With those factors stabilized, simple throttle adjustment enabled the recommended airspeed.
Landing: Alabeo's checklists don't include one for landing, so I "winged" it based on the Approach and Before Landing checklists and my experience. They call for flaps in the LDG position (third notch) and approach speeds between 58 knots and 73 knots depending on weight (more weight, more speed, and vice versa). So with the aircraft in the approach configuration and given my aircraft's current weight, I "finaled" at 65 knots, flared at 55 knots, and settled down at 45 knots. The aircraft stopped soon enough with mild braking.
Aggressive Maneuvers: In subsequent flight tests, I forced the aircraft to excesses to find its limits. A barrel roll was not doable. It rolled slowly and went into a dive that cost me about 2,000 feet (610 meters) before I recovered. A loop was doable, but not nicely. I looped after diving to gain airspeed, but the aircraft didn't seem cooperative. I have no idea how much stress the airframe suffered during these maneuvers. Although the real-world DA40's utility certification could be interpreted as allowing aerobatics for this aircraft, a placard on the instrument panel plainly states: "All aerobatic maneuvers including spinning are prohibited."
Stalls: I tested stalls during take-offs and landings with the aircraft in the recommended configurations. My DA40 stalled at 42 knots whether it was under full power and pitched too high while climbing or whether at low power and pitched too high during final approach. Recoveries were quick by pitching down in the first case and powering up in the second, but the low-power, low-altitude stall was a bit scary as the tree tops whizzed past my windows.
Torque: The DA40 banked and pulled persistently to the right at all speeds, pitches, and altitudes throughout my flight tests. I don't know how much of this is attributable to prop wash, propeller torque, or P factor, but continual corrections to hold it straight were so distracting and the lack of rudder trim frustrated me so much that I felt forced to engage the autopilot. In response to my question, Alabeo said the real-world aircraft has no rudder trim either.
Overall: Alabeo's DA40 handles very easily in all flight phases on the ground and in the air with the exception of the torque condition described above. Having never flown a real-world DA40, I cannot attest to the accuracy of Alabeo's flight modeling, but it performed consistently with most of the specifications.
All significant cabin controls and handles and outside surfaces needed for flight are animated.
By using the standard FSX keyboard commands, I found that the front canopy hinges forward and the left side hinges outward like a gull wing. Nothing else moved when I tried other animation commands. Neither door opened or closed with mouse clicks on the interior handles, but the hatch windows on the left and right opened and closed with mouse clicks on their handles.
Alabeo's Diamond DA40 is for FSX and P3D, and I reviewed the FSX version.
System requirements are typical, and this aircraft will probably perform well on most up-to-date flight simulators. It worked perfectly on my FSX with Windows 7. I cannot speak for older systems. Alabeo considerately shows minimum system requirements in its SimShack product description, which enables potential buyers can know in advance whether their systems can handle Alabeo's Diamond DA40.
The downloadable archive file is 211 megabytes, which is typical for an add-on aircraft, and it downloaded in less than one minute at cable-internet speed.
An installation program extracts the compressed files and installs them where they need to be in the simulator, making installation very easy for all users. A password is required. The process required less than one minute.
Required hard-drive space for the extracted files is 512 megabytes. Add 211 megabytes for the archive, and the total requirement is 723 megabytes.
Customer support is provided through a submission form on Alabeo's website. Alabeo asks users to check their knowledge base before submitting questions. (Many tech-support questions are already asked and answered). Readers having questions about this product should contact Alabeo because they are best able to explain their product.
My Overall Observations
In addition to Alabeo's typically high-quality visual and operative aircraft, its DA40 performance tables enable simulating real aircraft performance. Adjusting throttle, propeller, and mixture as necessary during climbs, cruises, and descents to achieve the parameters in the tables keeps us challenged and busy throughout most of our flight phases. No default MSFS aircraft provides these detailed performance parameters that real-world pilots use, and very few addons do either. The analog cockpit depicts DA40s manufactured before Diamond Aircraft made the glass cockpit its standard.
Don't forget... We have a huge selection (over 24,000 files) of free mods and add-ons for MSFS, FSX, P3D & X-Plane in the file library. Files include aircraft, scenery, and utilities All are free-to-download and use - you don't even need to register. Browse on down to the file library here.

Hello Mercury! In Photos: Jaw-Dropping Images Of The Closest Planet To The Sun Sent Back From 62 Million Miles Away
A spacecraft called BepiColumbo has conducted a flyby of the planet Mercury while on the way to ... Mercury.
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun (though not always the closest object), but despite being one of the closest planets to Earth it’s the least explored and least understood.
Cue BepiColumbo, which launched almost three years ago to study Mercury up close from orbit—though not until 2025.
The brief flyby saw the spacecraft get to within just 123 miles/198 kilometers of the surface.
It captured images and science data to give its mission scientists a first taste of what’s to come in the main mission, though because the spacecraft arrived on the planet’s nightside the closest image was captured from about 620 miles/1,000 kilometers.
These images—which show the impact craters on Mercury that make it look similar to our Moon—came back while BepiColumbo and Mercury were 62 million miles/100 million kilometers away from Earth.
Sadly the images are not particularly hi-res. That’s because the main science camera is packed away while BepiColumbo cruises through space.
So these images were snapped by two of BepiColombo’s three monitoring cameras, which took 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution photos from about five minutes after the time of close approach to about four hours later.
BepiColumbo is actually two orbiters; the European Space Agency (ESA) Mercury Planetary Orbiter (MPO) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter (MMO). They will study Mercury in-sync to give astronomers two data points on some projects.
The spacecraft is named after the late Professor Giuseppe (Bepi) Colombo, an Italian mathematician and engineer who discovered a resonance that makes Mercury rotate on its axis three times every two years.
He also helped NASA use gravity-assist flybys of Venus and Mercury for its Mariner 10 probe, something that BepiColumbo spacecraft is making use of extensively to get into orbit of its target.
In a journey that will total seven years, BepiColombo will reach Mercury at a slow enough velocity to go into orbit—on December 5, 2025—only thanks to flybys first of Earth, then twice from Venus, and six times from Mercury itself.
This week saw its first Mercury flyby, with the next one due on June 23, 2022. .

GITAI, developing task substitution robots specifically for space applications, has completed US$4.1M fundraising as of June 2019
GITAI (HQ: San Francisco, US; Japan Branch: Meguro, Tokyo), developing task substitution robots specifically for space applications, has completed fundraising activities as of June 2019, successfully raising an additional US$4.1 million (approximately JP¥450 million) from lead investors Spiral Ventures Japan, new investors DBJ Capital (Development Bank of Japan Group) and J-Power (Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.), as well as existing investors 500 Startups Japan (now Coral Capital).
GITAI is considering carrying out further capital raising in this round, with the goal of completing fundraising activities within this year, backed by a number of investors and corporate investors, with whom discussions are currently under way. The maximum total raised is expected to be US$10 million. GITAI plans to utilize the funds obtained from the current round to support the ongoing development of their task substitution robot, and for the planned launch of a demonstration model to the International Space Station (ISS) by the end of 2020.
■ About GITAI
In correspondence to the increasing competition of commercial space development around the globe, the demand for in-space operations is rapidly growing. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) space stations such as the ISS are being considered as platforms for commercial activities, and with US companies developing a host of commercial space stations intended to serve as space hotels and science labs, the demand is growing even more. In response to the rapidly growing demand for in-space operations, GITAI is a robotics start-up facing the challenge of providing Robotics as a Service (RaaS) performing operations safely and precisely, in order to ease the burden of the astronauts while cutting down work hours and reducing operation costs. GITAI tied a joint research contract with JAXA in December 2018, and in March 2019, an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) with Asia’s largest satellite communication provider, Sky Perfect JSAT. Of the 9 full-time members of GITAI, 6 are PhDs, 5 of whom are alumni of Tokyo University, and 2 of them serving as research associate there. The former Founder & CEO of SCHAFT (acquired by Google in 2013), Yuto Nakanishi has also joined GITAI in March of this year as the full-time COO, accelerating development of the GITAI robot.
■ About GITAI’s Robots
GITAI aims to ease the burden of the astronauts while cutting down work hours and reducing operation costs by developing robots that can substitute astronaut operations performing tasks both inside and outside the ISS. The latest GITAI (6th generation) robot, under the limited network environment of the ISS, succeeded in conducting operations (switch operations, using tools, handling soft objects, performing scientific experiments, heavy load manipulations, etc.) that until now were considered extremely difficult for a single robot to perform.
GITAI conducted a joint experiment with JAXA in which GITAI robots took over astronauts’ tasks in the International Space Station (ISS)
GITAI (Head Office: San Francisco, US; Japanese Branch: Meguro, Tokyo) has signed a joint research agreement with JAXA (the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency). Experiments in using GITAI’s robot as a substitute for astronauts in performing work have been conducted in a mock-up version of JAXA’s Japanese Experiment Module for the International Space Station, “Kibo.”
・About JAXA The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is engaged in the active promotion of the introduction of robotics technology, aiming to make the low-Earth orbit an area of sustained human economic activity. As part of those efforts, aiming to dedicate astronauts to higher-level work and optimize results, the agency is considering using Kibo, the Japanese Experiment Module for the International Space Station (ISS) as a technological demonstration platform.
・About the GITAI robot Aiming the reduce the cost of space work to 10%, GITAI aims to produce a robot capable of carrying out work within a space station in place of an astronaut. With the latest GITAI robot (model 6), GITAI have succeeded in creating a robot which, given the presence of a limited networking environment within the space station, is capable of, as a single robot, accomplishing general tasks (switch operation, using tools, flexible object manipulation, heavy load work) which have been difficult with prior robots.
・About the GITAI robot proof-of-concept experiment at JAXA From December 25-27, 2018, in JAXA’s mock-up of Kibo, the International Space Station’s Japanese Experiment Module, GITAI conducted an experiment into using the GITAI robot as a substitute for an astronaut, based on a list of astronaut tasks provided by JAXA. The GITAI robot was found to succeed in completing 72% (13/18) of the tasks.
・About the GITAI-JAXA joint research agreement Aiming to use robot technology to carry out work in the place of astronauts on Kibo, the Japanese Experiment Module for the International Spae Station (ISS), GITAI and JAXA have entered into a joint research agreement (limited to the current fiscal year) in order to evaluate the applicability of GITAI’s technology. Both companies will continue to collaborate to investigate technologies and conduct proof-of-concept experiments in future.
・About GITAI Along with the intensification of competition in space development in the world in recent years, the demand for work in space is rapidly increasing. In particular, for the low Earth orbit space stations, represented by ISS, demand for work is rapidly increasing with matters such as the consideration of the Commercialization of ISS, and the ongoing construction of several commercial space stations, such as space hotels and space stations for scientific experiments, carried out mainly by private companies in the US. GITAI aims to reduce the burden on astronauts, shorten the period of work in space, and reduce costs by enabling robots, who are able to work long-term on site, to do the work within private space stations instead of astronauts.
・GITAI’s vision GITAI believes that the prevailing human transportation methods of the past hundred years, such as cars, trains, and airplanes, are no longer the optimum method of transporting people from a time, cost, or safety perspective. Most technology businesses are trying to make existing methods of transportation faster and more effective, but GITAI believes that this is like trying to create faster, more effective horse-drawn carriages in the era of the carriage, while GITAI is trying to build the engine. Believing that augmenting the human body, making effective teleportation a reality and obviating the need for transportation itself is an approach ten times more valuable, GITAI aims to produce humanoid robots that can act as stand-ins for humans.
[GITAI Inc.] GITAI Inc. (US head office), GITAI Japan Co., Ltd. (Japan subsidiary) Representative: Representative Director & President: Sho Nakanose Businesses: GITAI is a robot venture that aims to reduce the cost of working in space by 90% by having robots due the work in place of humans. In addition to conducting research and development on robot software and hardware, GITAI also is conducting unique research and development on data reduction and compression and low-latency communication technology to realize robots with the world’s best performance that can work inside space stations even with the limited network infrastructure in space.

GITAI Space Development Robot Startup, and SKY Perfect JSAT, Asia’s Largest Satellite Communication Provider, sign a Memorandum of Understanding on exploring a business partnership
GITAI Inc. (Head office: San Francisco, USA; Japan Subsidiary: Meguro Ward, Tokyo, Representative Director & President Sho Nakanose; hereinafter “GITAI”) and SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (Head office: Minato Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director, President & Chief Executive Officer: Shinji Takada; hereinafter “SKY Perfect JSAT”) announce they have signed a memorandum to begin exploring future alliance with a view to creating new businesses for both companies.
Accompanying the increasing international competition to develop space in recent years, the work in outer space is rapidly increasing since, in addition to the International Space Station (ISS), private US and other companies have begun building multiple commercial space stations, such as space hotels and space stations for scientific experiments. Currently, astronauts are relied on to operate the equipment, perform the maintenance, and conduct the scientific experiments in space, so reducing the safety risk, shortening the required time, and reducing the cost are issues facing space development.
GITAI aims to replace astronauts with robots that can work for a long time while being remotely controlled from earth while in low earth orbit space stations like ISS to reduce the burden on astronauts(*1), shorten the time it takes to perform work in space, and reduce costs. GITAI has begun verification with the goal of realization in 2020(*2) and has already successfully conducted communication tests for space robot manufacturing and remote operation. By introducing robots GITAI aims to lower the cost of working in space by 90% by reducing the number of required rocket launches, which are a burden on space development.
SKY Perfect JSAT, which signed the memorandum with GITAI, has 17 communications satellites in stationary orbit, the most in Asia (as of March 2019), and since it began service in 1989 it has been operating communications satellites for 30 years and is driving the space business as a private Japanese company. The satellite communication service provided by SKY Perfect JSAT covers Japan, Asia, Oceania, Russia, the Middle East, Hawaii, and North America and thus provides stable support for the social security, safety, and convenience of those countries.
Space development robot startup GITAI and Japanese space business pioneer SKY Perfect JSAT are proceeding to discuss a business alliance focusing on the future space businesses that both companies will operate by effectively utilizing their mutual business know-how and business foundations to maximize the synergies of both companies’ businesses.
*1: Currently, astronauts, which are the only means for working in space, can only reside in space for 3 months at a time due to the safety risk posed by cosmic radiation and other factors, and these astronauts must also be supplied with water, food, and other materials, which require frequent rocket launches, so the cost of astronauts, including the rocket launch costs, is said to exceed (US$)400M per year per astronaut. GITAI thinks that the current means of transportation, including automobiles, trains, and airplanes, that have become the means of transportation for humans over the last 100 years are, from a time, cost, and safety perspective, no longer the optimum means even for transporting human resources. Many technology companies are currently working to make the existing means of transportation faster or more efficient, but that is comparable to in the age of horse-drawn carriages trying to make faster carriages or more efficient carriages, so it is GITAI that is trying to make an engine in the age of carriages. GITAI thinks that increasing the number of human bodies and achieving substantially instantaneous travel and eliminating travel altogether is a solution with ten times more value, and so they are aiming to make practical robots that will be avatars for humans.
*2: Verification of communication experiments for the remote control of space robots.

Dr. Yuto Nakanishi, former SCHAFT (bipedal robot venture, acquired by Google in 2013) founder and CEO, has joined GITAI, a developer of robots to replace astronauts in space operations (headquarters: San Francisco, US; Japanese branch: Meguro Ward, Tokyo), as COO.
■Yuto Nakanishi, Ph.D.
Ex-Founder＆CEO of SCHAFT. After retiring from the research associate of the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Information and Technology, he established SCHAFT; the startup of bipedal robot. He sold it to Google in 2013.
■Dr. Yuto Nakanishi’s Comment
“I have devoted my entire life to robots. Over these past eight years, I have helped establish SCHAFT to make bipedal robots a reality, a childhood dream of mine, came in first at the DARPA Robotics Challenge, and have continued to work toward the practical application of bipedal robots after being acquired by Google. SCHAFT was dissolved by Google at the end of 2018, but I have no regrets at present, because we at SCHAFT worked on bipedal robotics at the highest level in the world, and did everything possible at the time. I have one more childhood dream. And that is to create the first robot that works in space. I have had several opportunities to encounter a number of enterprises since the dissolution of SCHAFT, and am confident that GITAI is the team that will help realize this dream, which is why I have decided to join their efforts. We will definitely create the world’s greatest robot, that will work in space. Look forward to it.”

Crashed Air Algerie plane wreckage found in Mali
The Air Algerie flight which crashed with 110 passengers on board on Thursday, has now been found in Mali near the Burkina Faso border, an army coordinator in Ouagadougou said.
“We have found the Algerian plane. The wreck has been located 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of the Burkina Faso border” in the Malian region of Gossi, said General Gilbert Diendiere of the Burkina Faso army.President Keita will be visiting the site on Friday.
A witness had earlier reported that he had seen the plane “falling” and the army had accordingly strengthened their search in the particular area which has led to the wreckage being found. The wreck could not be examined since night was falling, though no survivors have been found according to media reports.
French warplanes and United Nations helicopters scoured the north of Mali on Thursday for the wreckage of an Air Algerie flight after it crashed carrying 110 passengers, nearly half of them French, from Burkina Faso to Algiers.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said authorities believed flight AH5017 may have encountered bad weather after the pilot requested to change direction shortly after takeoff due to a storm. However, he said no hypothesis had been excluded.

Cancer is an important long-term risk for astronauts exposed to protons and high-energy charged particles during travel and residence on asteroids, the moon, and other planets. NASA's Biomedical Critical Path Roadmap defines the carcinogenic risks of radiation exposure as one of four type I risks. A type I risk represents a demonstrated, serious problem with no countermeasure concepts, and may be a potential "show-stopper" for long duration spaceflight. Estimating the carcinogenic risks for humans who will be exposed to heavy ions during deep space exploration has very large uncertainties at present. There are no human data that address risk from extended exposure to complex radiation fields. The overarching goal in this area to improve risk modeling is to provide biological insight and mechanistic analysis of radiation quality effects on carcinogenesis. Understanding mechanisms will provide routes to modeling and predicting risk and designing countermeasures. This white paper reviews broad issues related to experimental models and concepts in space radiation carcinogenesis as well as the current state of the field to place into context recent findings and concepts derived from the NASA Space Radiation Program.
Keywords: Cancer; Galactic cosmic radiation; Mouse models; Radiation quality; Risk modeling.

The AQM-34L remotely piloted aircraft flew low-level photo-reconnaissance missions over North Vietnam. The AQM-34 series was developed from the unmanned BQM-34A target aircraft.
The AQM-34L on display flew more than 30 missions over North Vietnam. On Aug. 6, 1972, it was damaged by an SA-2 surface-to-air missile (SAM) and landed by parachute in the South China Sea off the North Vietnamese coast. Although recovered by a U.S. Navy ship, it was further damaged by salt water beyond economical repair.
This AQM-34L's nickname, M.R. Ling, was a pun on the last name of Lt. Col. Edwin Emerling, who was involved with its early combat missions.

ST. GEORGE — Flying at nearly twice the altitude of an airplane, eight of Google’s “Loon Balloons” appeared high in the skies above Southern Utah Friday afternoon after traveling nearly 500 miles from its launch base in northwest Nevada.
Flying high above other aircraft, wildlife, and weather systems, the balloons crossed over Southern Utah on their journey south after launching from its base of operations in Winnemucca, Nevada.
Google’s “Loon Project” consists of a network of high-altitude balloons traveling as high as 75,000 feet, or roughly 14 miles above the Earth’s surface, as they traverse through a new layer of the stratosphere to provide internet service to remote areas by creating an aerial wireless network that communicates with an antenna system on the ground, according to the company’s website.
Each device is independently powered using solar cells equipped with backup battery storage. The solar panels power the system during the day while charging an onboard battery to allow for nighttime operations. Each balloon is equipped with antennas that transmit the signal from ground stations along a mesh network and back down to the user’s cell phone.
Each balloon is approximately 78 feet long, or roughly the size of a tennis court. Each “stratospheric submarine” is made from sheets of polyethylene and constructed to remain in the air for more than 100 days.
They are equipped with a flight capsule that holds the electronics that control the Loon using a navigation system guided by algorithms and software that can predict wind systems.
The technology also allows the balloons to be re-positioned quickly, should cell sites on the ground become damaged in a natural disaster or emergency, and flying 60,000-75,000 feet above the ground, they are more resilient without weather systems and airplanes getting in the way.
Auto launchers are used to deploy the devices safely, with side panels that protect the balloon from the wind as it is filled with lift gas and positioned for takeoff.
Next, a crane, capable of launching a balloon every 30 minutes, points downwind which releases the balloon as it climbs into the stratosphere.
The balloons are individually tracked using GPS and are monitored by flight controllers. When the device is ready to be taken out of service, the lift gas is released and a parachute automatically deploys to control the landing, a descent that is coordinated with local air traffic control to make sure it lands in a sparsely populated area. There, ground recovery teams are deployed to recover the equipment.
The balloons are then laid out on a giant scanner in the lab and inspected for microscopic holes and tears before being recycled for reuse.
In July 2019, the company reached an important milestone with more than one million hours of flying time above Earth’s atmosphere, traveling more than 24 million miles — the equivalent of making 100 trips to the moon or circling Earth 1,000 times.
Loon is not the only experimental internet service device to be flying above Southern Utah lately. Entrepreneur Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites are also traversing across the skies of Cedar City, St. George and the rest of Southern Utah on a constant basis, albeit about 170 miles higher than the Loon balloons.
Launched by SpaceX Falcon 9 rockets in batches of 60 space devices at a time, the Starlink satellites are also an attempt to allow high-speed internet access anywhere on Earth. Fling an average of 184 miles above the ground in low Earth orbit, the satellites – which now number more than 500 currently in orbit – have also been spotted in the Southern Utah skies.
This is especially the case after the satellites are launched, when the group of 60 satellites seemingly fly brightly above looking like a train of bright lights across the sky.
A very bright pass took place in the early morning hours of June 16, which was seen throughout Southern Utah.

The European Agency Space does a video of the landscape that they can see from the above.
From the Canary Islands to Italy in less than 30 seconds. It looks like impossible for us but it doesn’t look impossible for technology. We can see a video from the astronauts in the International Space Station. Samantha Cristoforetti has traced a photographic video between this two different point in planet earth. The video has been done with time-lapse, which consists in using photos with movement which offers spectacular results.

Imagine sitting in your Air Guard unit, just a few miles from your home, and taking control of one of the most advanced remotely piloted aircraft in the world. While reviewing mission tasking, intelligence and weather information, you'll ensure the aircraft is ready to fly as you embark on another mission - perhaps one thousands of miles away. As an Attack Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilot, you’ll supervise and lead those missions. You’ll operate remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) equipment and systems, electro-optical sensor systems, and electronic protection (EP) equipment to complete intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions worldwide. You’ll also plan missions, including close air support, interdiction, armed reconnaissance, combat search and rescue, and limited forward air control. It takes a steady hand and cool nerves to precisely operate weapons equipment from the other side of the planet, because even the slightest inaccuracy can mean the difference between life and death.

Flight 810 Questions Lead to Questions – Episode 78
This conversation covers emerging information about Transair Flight 810. The plane crashed in the ocean on July 2 shortly after takeoff from Honolulu.
John, Greg and Todd raise a series of questions important to the investigation:
- Air traffic control handling of the incident
- Flight path after the engine failure
- Engine history and maintenance
- Safety performance of cockpit seats and harness
They stress that there are safety benefits to learn from every crash, even when an older airplane is involved. As information is released, questions will likely lead to more questions to answer.
This episode also covers recent accidents in Colorado, Texas, Montana and Massachusetts. Record-breaking heat across the US may be impacting aircraft performance.

On May 5, 2018, NASA launched a stationary lander called InSight to Mars. Riding along with InSight were two CubeSats, small, boxy satellites the size of a carry-on suitcase. These probes will be the first CubeSats to voyage to another planet and could lead to a shift in how we explore the solar system. So far, no CubeSat has ever left low earth orbit, which is within 160 km of the Earth’s surface.The two CubeSats have to fly, by themselves, across more than 200 million km of deep space during their six-and-a-half-month journey, supposed to reach Mars orbit in November 2018. If successful, the mission could alter the speed and the way of communication between earth and other planets. Exploring the solar system is absurdly expensive. But with tiny, hitchhiking satellites like the CubeSats, there may finally be a way to explore other planets on a shoestring. NASA envisions launching swarms of CubeSats, each carrying a single instrument or performing a single task. CubSats may searching for ice on the moon, studying how yeast deal with space radiation, scouting near Earth for asteroids or measuring space weather. In the future we could send sacrificial CubeSats to the solar system’s most hellish places, such as the surface of Venus, the plumes of Europa or inside the volcanoes of Io.
The artwork “mars cubes“ visualises the two twin CubeSats on the way to Mars. Based on original technical drawings and pictures taken during the construction process at Nasa´s JPL laboratory the object was virtually rebuild with 3D computer software. The construction of a modern satellite is in no way conditioned by aesthetic necessity, in terms of colour or form and figure - they are built purely by scientific necessity. However they reveal their visible recognition of the effectiveness of utilitarian perfection when they are floating in dark space and in conditions of weightlessness. The composition is very much inspired by the drawings of the Russian constructivists. The conquest of space and the construction of satellites had already appeared as an aesthetic vision in the Constructivist movement in the early 20th century. Kazimir Malevich and El Listzky created visions of Suprematist satellites in the 1920ies, imaging new objects in space, moving in orbit and creating their own paths. Today these visions became reality. The vaste black discloses the complex shape of the small satellite and serves as an actual representation of the infinite. At the same time the artwork questions the relation of dynamic, fragilness and proportions incorporated in this tiny machine which is supposed to start a new era¬ of exploring our planetary system.

Fear Not: Quarter-Mile Asteroid Is No Threat To Earth, NASA Says
Illustration of small asteroids passing near Earth. Credit: ESA / P. Carril
Before assuming an asteroid is going to kill us all, take a deep breath and open up the NASA’s Near Earth Object (NEO) program website to check your information, the agency suggests in a statement regarding a so-called threatening asteroid making the rounds in media reports.
Data from the Minor Planet Center shows that the quarter-mile-wide asteroid 2014 UR116 won’t pose a threat to Earth or any other planet in the next 150 years or more, the agency said.

Philippine Airlines, the national flag carrier, has yet again added a new milestone as the airline flew from London, England to Clark, the Philippines for the very first time on Friday.
On-board the Airbus A350-941 XWB "Love Bus," 193 passengers departed from London at 5:27 pm local time and arrived in the Philippines at 12:51 am local time. Approximately, the flight time stands at 11 hours and 35 minutes.
Originally, the flight PR-721 lands in Manila as a regular PAL flight from the United Kingdom. However, the limitations of quarantine processing facilities in the capital prompted Clark's arrival, among other flights. Days before the trip, passengers were already informed of the new itinerary, giving them time to book accommodations for their quarantine stay.
Since the reopening of PAL's Clark hub in June 2020, the flag carrier has already operated flights from Taipei, Barbados, Davao, and Bacolod. A month ago, PAL flew directly for the first time from Barbados to Clark to bring home stranded Filipino seafarers abroad.
Aside from the flights to Barbados and London, PAL has also flown directly from Manila to Miami, its farthest flight to date, and Manila to Male for the first time. These flights are a few of the many repatriation missions the flag carrier has undertaken since the country implemented quarantine. Photo from Cielo Villaluna, Philippine Airlines

Flight was a topic our writer Barbara Ryan enjoyed teaching. "We got really involved – twice I invited Patrick Monro (inventor and flight enthusiast) to come and do a whole-school session on flight (see the article Hang-gliders). Patrick arrived with his hang-glider simulator and flight equipment."
One time, he flew over the school in his hang-glider, and another time he put Barb (the teacher) into the air using a parachute (attached to Barb) with her entire class pulling her along on a rope. He entertained the classes with interesting accounts of early flight history and his own exciting experiences of hang-gliding. He also explained simple concepts of flight. The students loved it.
Lots of teachers love to teach flight, but research has shown that few primary teachers have science backgrounds and are not confident teaching science. Barb decided to develop a collection of flight resources with the activities teachers and students love and that also included science ideas and concepts about flight specifically for primary teachers, who didn’t have the background knowledge.
Science ideas and concepts
To bring together some science ideas and concepts, Barb contacted a number of scientists and flight enthusiasts. It was then that she discovered that there were differing opinions about what flight actually was and what was involved. This has been reflected in our resources – mainly by leaving the definition of flight open, although various views are expressed. Also, recently there have been some discussions about some science concepts such as the Bernoulli principle concerning how lift is generated. What has been taught in schools (mostly secondary) and some material in school textbooks are now considered misconceptions. This is also explored.
Some of the science ideas reflected in our resources cover principles of flight, what causes lift, wing loading and wing aspect ratio (both relating to flight capabilities of planes and birds) and some science ideas specifically relating to birds’ flight.
New Zealand research
While reviewing current research in New Zealand related to flight, Barb came across Phil Battley and Jesse Conklin from Massey University who were tracking the long-distance flights of godwits. Their work sounded fascinating, so Barb decided to diversify from manufactured flight objects such as planes and hang-gliders to include nature’s flight – that of birds.
The student activity What flies? is designed to make students think about flight and the commonalities of things that fly. This activity is open ended in that there is no definitive definition of flight. Students consider what flight is through various viewpoints and their own observations. They consider what might be needed for flight to occur. Other activities include making aerofoils and paper planes (paper plane competitions are always a hit), kites and gliders.
Some of Barb's early teaching experiences with flight included making gliders from scratch. She included the student activity Making a glider because, although it took some time, the students were able to make an aerofoil, which increased their understanding of what an aerofoil was. They learned a few skills in the process such as using a craft knife, sand papering and working carefully and finely. It turned into a few relaxing Friday afternoon sessions where the class worked on one thing at a time until they were finished.
Flying them was the reward.
The student activity Tracking E7 relates to the New Zealand research and explores the satellite tracking of a godwit called E7. An ethics section to this activity looks at whether scientists should be using satellite-tracking devices on migratory birds. The student activity Birds and planes brings nature and manufactured flyers together. Some science ideas are explored that affect flight capabilities of both birds and planes. Observing wings for flight has suggestions on how to use the interactive Wings for flight graphic organiser. Wings for flight is useful as a pre-test or post-test for summative assessment.
Finally, an activity is included that explores future flight. This gives students the opportunity to consider historical flight (using the timeline A history of flight), what the trends have been in flight development, what caused these trends and what might happen in the future.
The article Investigating flight – introduction introduces our collection of flight content that Barb helped create.

Republic P-47 Thunderbolt
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest, heaviest, and most expensive fighter aircraft in history to be powered by a single piston engine. It was heavily armed with eight .50-caliber machine guns, four per wing. When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack roles could carry five-inch rockets or a significant bomb load of 2,500 pounds; over half the weight the B-17 bomber could carry on long-range missions (although the B-17 had a far greater range). The P-47, based on the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, was to be very effective as a short-to-medium range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and, when unleashed as a fighter-bomber, proved especially adept at ground attack in both the World War II European and Pacific Theaters.

A study has been taken to evaluate the fatigue behavior of glass fiber-reinforced composite beams. Due to their highly anisotropic properties, composite beams have different failure modes at different stages of fatigue life. The results of the four-point bending fatigue tests show that the material follows different failure mechanisms depending on the stress level applied to the beam and failure mode changes from compressive failure at high stresses to tensile failure at low stresses. Accordingly, the "stress vs. number of cycles" curve has different slopes at high and low cycle fatigue regions. Two different fatigue damage models, which are used with similar damage mechanisms, were selected. The combination of these two models was applied to composite beam. The methodology of life prediction and calculations are presented. The numerical results are compared to experimental data. The predicted fatigue lives agree with experimental observations very well.

In recent weeks, an electric aircraft tour has been carried out in southern Sweden and it was rounded off last week at Visby Airports, where a new charging infrastructure for electric aircraft was inaugurated.
Sweden’s only electric aircraft to date, a Pipistrel Velis Electro with the registration designation SE-KWH which is flown by Aeroklubben in Gothenburg, has at the end of September been on a tour of airports in southern Sweden. They have visited Halmstad City Airport, Ängelholm Helsingborg Airport, Kristianstad Österlen Airport, Kalmar Airport, and finally, Visby Airport, where the tour was rounded off on 1 October.
At Visby Airport, they also took the opportunity to inaugurate the airport’s new charging infrastructure for electric aircraft in connection with SE-KWH visiting the airport for the first time. The new infrastructure for electric aircraft consists of a total of three charging points for electric aircraft, located at two different locations at Visby Airport. Two charging points are installed on the airport’s main plate for aircraft, while the third is located at Gotland’s fight club, in the southern part of the airport.
“Electric aviation will play an important role in the conversion of aviation to fossil-free aviation. For that reason, it feels very positive for us that in addition to the airport and aircraft manufacturers, there is now also an airline player, BRA, who sees the potential in and wants to start flying commercial electric flights to and from Gotland and Stockholm when possible. The next step is to intensify the work of getting both infrastructural and commercial conditions in place together with other partners in the region, the business community, and in the aviation industry “, says Gunnar Jonasson who is airport manager at Visby Airport.
